Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Uh, hello, hey dude,how you doing. Man? We'll joing
on guys. You want to talkabout the weekend? Sure? Why?
First off, congratulations I saw youdrank around the world and then another galaxy.
It's blown. Can't terra is mine? We've talked about it like three
or four times. Sorry, I'venever seen anyone do that. Was that

(00:21):
a good green beer? What wasthat with the avatar? Yeah, it
was something like melan Ida? Itwas very weird. How do you,
I mean, how do you affordto drink around the world at Disney?
It seems expensive. It's called acredit card. I'm not worried about it.
Later, the Vacuan Gays are backto together on Iheart's Fox Sports nine

(00:42):
eighteen ninety five nine. Jeff,he used to work for the Auban Empire.
We just talked to coach Minaj earlierin the show. He says,
it's time. What what did hewas? He wouldn't give us any anything,
juicy. What's your take here?What happened? What with him not
being there anymore? Um, it'sit's a volatile, volatile situation. I

(01:04):
was watching along at home. Igot back from from Disney late late Friday,
so you know, Saturday has thestuff to go on watch the game.
I started seeing Antonio Brown in theYouTube comments his official account, you
know, just talking about how they'reno good and it's a low tier league.
And then I started seeing his Isaw a tweet that said something similar

(01:26):
to that. Okay, he blockedme on Twitter, so I had other
people send me his pleets okay,um, and it was I'm just sending
a lot. This is that thisis going to blow up. Where he
took a video or somebody in avideo of Banas walking Yes, leadership,
okay, one more time. Itsaid something about this we need leadership or
this is leadership. He just saidleadership, but he's walking down the field

(01:49):
like it was. It was fairlyclear that I was getting that in marriage
from the rip. They they theymay not have been the ones that officially
decided to let go of Anas,but he was the one who started the
ball rolling on it, and thenhe brought him back. And it just
never looked like a situation that wouldwork. Depends what. I don't understand
why leadership is bad. If it'syou know, if he's counting, you

(02:09):
know, the coaches back, we'vegot leadership. I don't think he was.
I think he was mocking. Okay, yeah, I think it was
more of a mocking situation. Ithink he was like, this is leadership.
He's just walking down the field.So but those YouTube comments from Antonio
Brown, that was disparage, disparagingthe players. Do you think they quit
on him Saturday? I wouldn't doubtit. I've heard that some of the

(02:30):
guys still haven't been paid. Idon't have any like proof. I have
to talk to those guys, butI'd like there's some guys who are still
there on faith. And how doyou have faith with the guy it doesn't
pay, it doesn't feed you,and um, you know housing. I
guess there's a question like it's noteasy to run that read a football team.
It's a very difficult Thingez. Whatwhat's Antonio's next play? Is he

(02:50):
gonna pull everyone down? Or ishe gonna jump ship? He allegedly is
gonnapply and he's kind of play.People will go, I don't know who's
throwing the ball. I heard thecorner backs out. I heard her to
punch the players lap. I don'tknow. You have to coach quarterbacks.
How How are ticket sales this year? Jeff doesn't look good. No,
it's not. I mean I'm hearinglike just around two thousands a game.

(03:15):
What do you need to be successful? I mean, were you pulling in
when you first came on. We'vehad a few ten thousand dollars or ten
thousand thousands. Yeah, we werenever able to get back to that in
twenty one or twenty two. Butyou know, if you can be around
four thousand, five thousand seeds,you can pay your bills. All right.

(03:35):
So Antonio is planning on playing.Does he have to, like,
is there any paperwork he has togo through? Or can he just put
on the uniform? He can?I think he has to sign a player
contract. And you know, sothat there's all the all the keys are
crossed and either a dotted. Butafter that, no, he can go
play. He's to sign a playercontract. Could he go? You take
every penny in the all of anEmpire bank account and pay him uh self

(04:00):
for playing? And then and thenthey're saying and then just cutting and he'd
walk away, maybe had a littletax loss, just to kind of deal
and work with Well, I mean, we all know that team doesn't pay
players, so you'd be better payinghimself as the owner. O man,
I guess we all saw this comingthough. Whatever mess we're talking about,
it's not surprising, but it isentertaining. Yeah, good time to have

(04:21):
a radio show. The writing wason the wall and it Yeah can't ARDV
definitely saw this pretty early. Well, I mean we all thought, we
all thought it would well up eventually, but we like, realistically, I
thought he would be you know,he'd come in, get his accolades for
being an owner, go away fora while, come back. He was
on tour when this whole thing started, Like, where's his tour? Like

(04:42):
I think I think he was stillout rapping on Rolling Loud and all those
other things. Like I feel likethe team would have a chance to at
least get through one more years.He's like last, I don't I don't
care where he goes. I justdon't want him here and something to talk
about. It's definitely something to watch, Jeff. We will listen to the

(05:03):
back and gauze back together Reunited FoxSports ninety five, nine and nine eighty.
