Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right, Harje. We've seenlots of press conferences, specifically from basketball

(00:05):
coaches, given that it's tournament time. Games are happening every day, some
teams playing back to back days,and a lot of coaches have had,
you know, a lot to saysome a little coach Brodney Terry obviously after
the loss to Kansas State. Hiswas very short and sweet. And we've
were used to weird questions and pressconferences, whether it be with players and
coaches or questions that make coaches justwalk off the podium in general. But

(00:29):
last night, after Providence beat theCreighton Blue Jays seventy eight to seventy three,
we had coach Kim English. Igotta be honest, I'm not super
familiar with, but he was trendingthis morning because he was asked a rather
odd question during his postgame press orthat had nothing to do with the game

(00:50):
of basketball. Hey, coach,so you are trending your blocks player blood
sweet until they're wanting to know this, what's matter status? I think that's
her first marital status question. Questionwe passed, no comment. I'm locked

(01:23):
in on this team. I'm lockedin on it team right around yeah,
third round, right here. Thisis another case of women in sports ruining
it for the rest of us.I'm just confused. They just be number
two Creighton, a team expected tomake a great run, and that's the

(01:45):
question. I'm just trying to figurethat out, Like what what in the
world made them even want to believethat that was a good question to ask.
All right, I get your topical. Oh you're turning on Twitter and
this is what the people want toknow. But now now you're turning it
on yourself. Is what is goingon with this reporter? And poor Kim

(02:06):
English was so like embarrassed and confused, and as he said, he just
wants to talk about this basketball team. Leave the poor man alone. Yeah,
just yeah, what was that about? Golly, I don't I don't
understand it. I guess we gotto add that to the list of things
we didn't think we needed to addas questions. We don't ask in postgame

(02:29):
press conferences or any press conference forthat matter. What's your status? Right?
Maybe that's not public for a reason, but either way, that that's
how things went down last night.Moving over to football, hard as we
know, Kirk Cousins has officially signedwith the Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins.
He has worn number eight since highschool, harje and that just so happens

(02:51):
to be the number of Kyle Pitts, the tight end who hopefully will create
a bigger name for himself, becausethere was a lot expected of him when
he came to this league and hejust hasn't had a quarterback to get the
job done. Now. Kirk saidon the podium that obviously he's been wearing
the number his entire life and hewould like to keep it, but that
he's going to be a good teammateand you know he's not going to be
heard about it if Kyle really wantsto keep it. Kyle, on the

(03:14):
other hand, has said that heis willing to give Kirk number eight.
All he's got to do is passingthe ball, which is all he's wanted
ever since he's been a Falcon.So doesn't sound like that bad of a
deal. And I know that Kirkhas been number eight, but I just
you sent this audio and before weget into the rest of the discussion,

(03:34):
I just want to hear about Kirk'spassion for the teams that he plays for
and the times he's war number eight. Yeah, you can say, draw
it up. I'd be a redSkin the rest of my career. I
would like to retire as a Viking. I want to retire a Falcon,
you know. That would really beMy goal, would be to finish so
strong that maybe this isn't even mylast contract. Well, what's more important

(03:55):
to Kirk Cousins hard retiring with theteam he's currently on, formerly on or
number eight? I think it's moreabout that money that he's getting each time
here in his head or does hereally believe that he was going to be
at these places forever? Well,I mean initially you would always think that
you are going to be there withyour team. Let's coach. Yeah,

(04:18):
every time you're with a team,you want to finish your career there until
it's time for you to go toyour next team. But for him to
look back at those videos and actuallysee that he does, yeah, I
want to finish my career here.Yeah. I want to finish my career
here. Yeah. I want tofinish my career here. That is something
too that you are always trying tosay, Hey man, you know it's

(04:39):
on video. They're going to belooking at your video. They're gonna know
your own video, so it's goingto be interesting to see how that finishes
out. But your boy Kirko,he's in Atlanta now, he already got
the chain too. He rocked itupon the signing along with his kid.
They hooked his kid up too,so we'll see if he does in fact
sport number eight next season. LikeI said, they just gotta throw Cayle

(05:00):
Pits the ball. That seems tobe the deal that's going to get done
there. Finally, hard you teasedit bobbleheads who knew they were worth stealing.
We had the greatest heist of theyear thus far in California for the
pack of Pittsburgh Steelers bobbleheads that theywere planning to give out at the game
earlier this week. Now, I'mnot going to say the player because I

(05:24):
can't pick Pittsburgh Penguin. Sorry,I'm not going to say the name of
the player because yeah, yeah,there you go close enough. They were
expecting to give these out in orderto celebrate him, and bobbleheads and giveaways
like that are huge for fans,right There's usually a limited number and bobblehead
specifically, and sports people love tocollect them. So this is probably going

(05:45):
to be a hot item, andapparently so hot that someone decided to steal
the entire truckload of them when itarrived in California from the manufacturer. What
are they planning? Everyone now knowsthey're stolen, absolutely, So the second
they come to surface and they're notgiven out directly by the Penguins, what
you go do? They got theauthorities on this. There's only one of

(06:06):
them that is missing because they hadalready sent him one. Yes, hear
me, Yager. So now it'slike you can't auction them off. You
can say that you got them offthe black market, someone sold them to
you, but then you are tryingto distribute stolen goods and now you're not
going to be able to make themoney you will. So there's a lot

(06:28):
that goes into this. I doyou know? The Penguins release the statement
saying, you know, this wasour plan. They were stolen. We've
alerted the authorities they are investigating,and they went on to say, well,
it's an unfortunate incident. It onlyadds to the legend of Yager,
who will be in attendance as ourguest at tonight's game. We look forward
to resolving this theft and delivering theprize bobbleheads to their rightful home with our

(06:50):
fans. Does it add to hislegend. I don't know if it's definitely
going to add to his legend.But you sit there and you start to
think, Okay, somebody really reallywanted those, and maybe just maybe they
didn't really want them and they thoughtit was something else and they ended up

(07:10):
swiping that right, because I can'timagine an eighteen year old wheeler was just
filled with exact bobbleheads. They thoughtthey were getting a different They're probably on
the side of the road somewhere.Absolutely, And for those fans out of
tend of the game and ohso wantedthat bibblehead, they did receive a voucher
to get the bobbleheads whenever they're recoveravailable. Well, the funny thing is
now you have to go back andmanufacture another batch of those bibbleheads. I

(07:35):
mean, you still have the mold, you still have the mold, you
still have everything. You're gonna endup needing to make those. But I
would I would also say that it'sprobably not something they were looking forward to
having to do again. Yep,that's quite the strange story. Like I
said, heist, heist of theyear so far from the year, And
yeah, it's interesting. It'll beinteresting when if they do find it,

(07:58):
what else they find with it,because there's probably, like Harsh said,
something else within that truck that wasthe goal. I can't I can't imagine
a giant Pittsburgh Penguin fan being inCalifornia, but there. It is Today's
salty shakedown. The Pittsburgh Penguins havetheir entire selection of giveaway bobbleheads stolen in
California. Kim english Is asked hismarital status during a postgame presser for some

(08:22):
unknown reason, and Kirk cousins hewants number eight. Will Kyle Pitts give
it to him? It seems likeit's gonna happen and no money has to
be exchanged. I'd have to see
