gonna take the go to Salt Lake City on a
on a connecting fly.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
I might have to. I'm gonna think about it.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Because that means that could be a trip for you
and your wife. So I've been.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
They had the same happeners coming back from New York
one time, New York after New Year's and they did
it in the airport.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It wasn't anybody want to make some money? Come on?

Speaker 5 (02:33):
They went up to three thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
What the heck?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
I was like, you know my flight was only like
four hundred. Are you so if we didn't have like
work commitments and stuff like that, you know, no, bro,
because then you would have had to find the hotel
the night and all that stuff like that could have
been tricky.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
But airport three thousand.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Yeah, it's not cash, it's travel valuchis you know.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Rob Gi, here's the thing. I have to pay for
five humans now. So three thousand dollars is huge for
me and will be you when when your baby gets too.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
So three thousand and we'll say Delta.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, that's huge.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Seriously, that's a whole one trip to Detroit. Go see
the family trip to Detroit and that crazy Troy whoa
whoa the ones gotta go.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
What what city is never going to hold the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Detroit.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
But that was that was when Ben Roethlisberger didn't make
it in the end zone. You remember it was Jerome Bennezy.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Is back home his last one. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
What's the least desirable super Bowl city? Buffalo?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, Buffalo. I just can't see Getty Bay. Do you
want to go to Green Bay? They have their Green
Bay won't have one either. Nobody's going on there.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Green Bay, No Clee. I mean, any of the Midwest happen.
They're gonna have some emergency. They're going to postpone the
Santa Clara next year. Scott's gonna all those guys are
gonna move to Green Bay. Rob, I'm not going yet,
right right, you know you're going. I would probably go,
but I don't be happy about it. But I'll tell
you because they did the cold weather ones. They did they.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Did Minnesota got one, Minnesota got one. They did New
Jersey and New York. That was terrible because it was split.
The stadium's over in New Jersey, all the eventure in
New York.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
And it rained in that one.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
That was bad. It was bad.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, it just changes the complexity of how you want
to move your Your brain just thinks Miami Vegas. You
wanted to be nice. Yeah, and it's not that it
can't be a little chilli. Its just but Detroit was freezing.
I remember that. It was just yeah, it just it
took away from the fun, the luster of it all.
So all right, well here we go, speaking up Vegas.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Pete Carroll.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Was asked about maybe uh reuniting and it feels so
good with the Russell Wilson who is a free agent,
and Pete Carroll didn't sound too excited about it.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
We're just in the midst of just trying to find
the puzzle pieces, not even get putting them together yet.
So I really I can't I can't even say. I mean,
guys are still free agency hasn't come yet. That's the
first competitive opportunity that will occur, and then the draft
is coming. We'll have that opportunity to do things. I
can't tell you right now. I mean I could, I

(05:28):
could guess, but it would just be a guess. So
but I promise you, if you're a real competitor, you're
not letting options get away from it. So we're gonna
consider every option as a possibility.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Man, I hope you don't say that about me. One day.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Hey man, you want to reunite with Kevin Hull? Hey yeah,
we just hum high where you better at least say
something no.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
But but I do understand. The one thing I will
give him a pass on is you just don't know
what the dynamics are of the the free agency, who's available,
the situation for him to paint himself.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Into a corner not even knowing if.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Russell Wilson even wants the quarterback for him with what
went down in Seattle? Do you understand what I'm saying, Like,
that's a difficult spot to just right there.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Oh yeah, let's bring the band back. I want a
more No, I want a more fun. You've been doing
this for forty something year, fifty years. He has savvy answer.
I want to man, that's my guy forever.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I love that kid.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
But you know, we got businesses something like that. He
act like it was offensive to think.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
About I think he I just think he was in
a tough spot.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yeah, it's free agency.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
It is like he's already there and hey, this is
great your back. Well, well we don't know what we're
gonna be doing. You know, like that's different.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
He was just like, well, then you indicate it's indicate
when you think about it. If you know the sky
is blue, sometimes it's great and I just want to say, hey,
uh no it it'll.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Be interesting to see. Really, the interesting thing with this Pete.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Carroll is is he legit immately trying to come here
and coach like and win or is he creating the
culture to handoff and passed the time that person.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I love when people say that, like it's automatic that
whoever takes over so is gonna, uh you know, get.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Through, get the culture from what I'm saying, from.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
The guy that was there before, who won a Super Bowl,
and you're turning over somebody who doesn't have the same credential.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
So let's look at let's look at the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Let me say this, what what what in the world
He's seventy four when the season starts.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
What I'm saying, you don't have you're gonna develop a quarterback?
Come on, Pete, you can There's not enough time.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And that's what I mean.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
So is he here for I'm gonna develop a quarterback,
create a culture and set the tone and hand it off.
Because my point is you would look at him as
somebody you would think, man, we need that championship experience
both in collegiately pro and maybe you thought the Cowboys, right,
you say, all right, we got our quarterback. We still
believe in dak no matter if you do, they do,

(07:59):
nobody does.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
We do.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
We got our guy, we got our receiver, ced, we
got our defense, We're gonna bring back Michael whatever. And
you say, we just need that one little thing extra.
We think Pete Carroll has it. Okay, great, seventy four.
I'm here for a long time. Here for a short
time makes sense. The Raiders aren't. They're far away from it.
They don't have a quarterback, they don't have much talent
outside of Max Crosby and another player or two.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
They don't have a vision.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
What he's gonna coach three four years, get it going
and like and be almost eighty.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
The only.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Five year plan Pete Carroll could be attached to a
more you know, a mortician would be involved.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I mean, it's just not possible.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
What he's going to get is to his headstones, already
getting his casking. I'm just saying, what do you always
putting somebody? You always usually say that I'm waiting on
the next line.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You know, he's one it's putting people in there.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
All I'm saying is he don't have a five there's
no five year say.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
You got to win now you need a veteran quarterback.
You can't.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
I'm sorry. This is not twenty years ago when Sam
Donald Russell Willson gonna be available. Yeah, I mean maybe
Sam Donald makes sense still relative, you know, because Russ
is older or not old.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
But he old, you know for sports age.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
So maybe Sam Donald, you feel like he's gotten better,
he's improved. He could be our guy for two or
three years until we maybe find the guy for the
next decade.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
That's why this is a weird hire. It really is.
I'm dead serious, because you don't have long term plans
anymore in the NFL. That's just not how it works
in all sports. They used to be when a general
manager came in, here's our five year plan like that.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
That used to be a selling point. You might get
five months. You act wrong, right, get off, have a
bad stretch or bad how many guys you might have
a good one You can coach of the year and
get fired out here in these streets, right, win a championship.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Can't hack it.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
We knew that, Like after game one where he didn't
you don't manage the clock. Remember, instead of having Russell
Wilson go for a first down, he had kicked a
sixty yard field going like, what what is this?

Speaker 4 (10:09):
What? Those lights get big for coaches too, we talk
about the players, those lights get big for coaches as well.
But yeah, so this is just obviously he has a
relationship with Russell Wilson. You saw Marshawn Lynch up there
screaming Raiders and having fun end up, you know, kicking
it afterwards, and so yes, there's that reunion type of
feeling vibe. I just thought the Raiders would want to

(10:31):
use this opportunity rob G your team to say we're
so bad, let's just blow the whole thing up and
start fresh, to start building up, right. We got a
new stadium we're building up just to create a new
fan base here. Obviously got one worldwide, you know the brand,
But like, why wouldn't you want to do that?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
And if you do want to.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Do that, Pete Carroll again, he's either just trying to
be the coacher guy or why is he here.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Because he can't be part of the long run.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
You want to find your Sean McVay right, you want
to find your Kyle Shanahan. I know you hate him,
but that's how the forty nine ers feel.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't hate anybody. I love everybody.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Okay, Well, you know you you want them gone, you know,
you want to find your young guy, your Nick Sieranni,
if they believe he's the guy, you want that. And
it's just odd that they would do. But it's also
a very raider of them. This is kind of what
the Raiders have done the last twenty years. They haven't
made decisions that you go, well, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
This is it's a really weird hire.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
And and you know I heard people say, oh, you know,
they needed an adult in the room and they needed
this and that.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, as an executive, the same people were.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Saying, oh yeah, well Antonio Piers, well he's a form,
he's a player, and they were they relate to him
and blah blah blah blah blah. Did you see the
raw rod at the end of the season, Like like
they whatever it is that somebody comes in, they're gonna try,
they gonna make it make sense.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
They're gonna put some out.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
David Gray like he putting some spin on that's onways
some spinning spin it.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
I'm just win baby went dad.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
We ain't want it a long time telling you it's
a the he Man haircut. He cuts that haircut, rob G,
y'all good Mark Davis cutting. He needs a you you
got a nice and you cut your own, don't you.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
You know what, Robbie, I've settled it.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
You need to go volunteer and cut his hair and
tell him i'mnna get you straight.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I got you he Man.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
I'm convinced he has that hair because it's so thin
up top that he had. That's the way to kind
of cover up the rest of it. But rob G,
if you can't get a fade because there's nothing to
fade in it.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
If you were to cut his hair, though, the best
part would be he could take it off.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
You could cut it and then he put it.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
That was one of your better houtes. That was a
good one. That was a go one, all right? Now
put that one? No, nothing that was good. Put it
over there, and then now you got one you can
use whenever we bring up the Raiders. I save it,
don't use it every time. Don't beat it down there.
My daughter saying I'd use my jokes too much. So
you hear some of the guests. You have some of
the guests laugh. That's one, and then it's a courtesy laugh.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
You know.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
They're like hell and I heard him slap his knee.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
It's like going over to your house for dinner. I'm
not going to say the food's bad, you know, right,
you invited me over.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Which, by the way, Alex, whenever you have some kids,
you got to make sure you're telling the robger knows.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Kids are too honest. You want any more nos the
worst I've ever had.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Hey, they're not going to invite us over again.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
It's real resting, its disesting. That was gross.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Only eighty kids you made me and the person who
offered it just sitting there like you like she's she's
so crazy, she just blurts out stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
I'm sorry. We'll see ourselves.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
My friend Cliff Browdy told me once his daughter they
went to some family barbecue and of course one of
the uncles has this big stomach you know, and all that,
and she just walks right up to him and goes, daddy,
he's fast.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh yo, like right to it. Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
If you don't want some honesty around kids, oh my god,
kids will humble you. I've had days where I was like,
you know what, up, You're getting it back, You're bringing
sexy back. And then as soon as my daughter to
see me, why this stomach so big? Or like thanks
daddy your breasting you like dang, I thought I was,
I'm all right, I'm sorry exactly. Kids will humble you,

(14:05):
all right?

Speaker 5 (14:05):

(15:39):
the higher? Eight seven seven ninety nine? On Fox?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
We got Richard in Vegas? All right, rich couple? Fox
Sports Radio? What's up?

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
How you doing today? I'm calling in, first time calling in,
but I listen to you guys all the time.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Appreciate it. Yes, it means a lot, Thank.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
You, absolutely so. I'm not a fan of the what
city are they from?

Speaker 8 (15:59):
This year? Traders?

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Even though they're here in Vegas.

Speaker 8 (16:05):
But I really think that Pete Carroll was brought in
specifically so that he could recruit Russell Wilson.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Really, so you think he they want him desperately. I mean,
what if he would have What if he would have
and still could stay in Pittsburgh, you know?

Speaker 3 (16:21):
But I think I think his relationship with Carol is
strong enough that they'll be able to pull him away
even if he.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Even if they try to sign him in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
But I guess what thing would be? How is that
looking forward? Like we're setting ourselves up for you know,
like where we've got our thing now?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, but but they need to start winning though, Like.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Like yeah, like exactly it.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
I'm here in Vegas and people were really excited about
the Raiders coming.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
You know, they try to hide it, but half the
half the fans in the standard from our.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
That's never gonna say.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Out the way, but but but they don't have a
fan base like they.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
But they're in Like if your team's playing the Vegas
you're going to Vegas?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
How cool is that?

Speaker 4 (17:08):
If you're the Browns, you get we gotta go to
Vegas to see our I get.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
That, But you at some point want to build something
you got going.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I'm just saying Russell, I just think he doesn't happen.
There's not anything else there. Like Russell with the Steelers
made sense. They got defense, they got this all right.
He can help us get over that age.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
They ain't got nothing in Vegas.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
You get what I'm saying, Like you need a Lamar Jackson,
but he can do so much a quarterback.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
You can't do anything like I didn't argue with that
like that.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
That's the one part that is And I understand what
you're saying, like it's not some long term answer. You
just hired a seventy four year coach, so you what
long term answer are you looking for. I'm just saying,
so would makes sense that you would have a veteran
quarterback to go with them, not some rookie that that
uh is gonna drive Pete Carroll crazy, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Because he do another interception.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Or everybody there McVeigh, they're Sirianni there, even Dan Campbell is,
she's you know, they're trying to find their next and
they were like, you know, we're gonna go get seventy
four year old p Carroll a team again not like
we just need that one extra little coaching thing to
get over the hump. Like you know, man, we just

(18:16):
need that one little veteran thing. They don't have anything like.
That's just what makes it interesting for me is that
they don't have.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
But all the Raider fans, Rob g, where are you?
I know you you're cool with this hire, but what
are you looking for? Are you looking for him to
take a younger quarterback and try to groom him for
two or three years or are you like, no, we
need a veteran quarterback. I mean they have a rook
that had Sam Donald.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
Yeah, I mean I would rather have Sam Donald than
Russell Wilson. But the ideal scenario is at number six,
you get a quarterback, whether that's Campbell Water she Do
or Sandra Zori, Like that's the pie in the sky, right,
We'll see if one of those guys falls to him.
The only issue with r Wilson, I'm not one of
the guys thinks he's washed like I don't, but I

(19:03):
would expect that if he comes to the Raiders, he
could become Matt Flinn where it's like, hey, we're gonna.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Bring him in.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
He's a veteran. We he canna win right away, and
they draft someone in the third round like Russell Wilson,
right they pick up Jalen Milroe from Alabama, they get Jackson,
Dart whatever, and you're like, hey, the gap between these
two guys is not big enough where I'm going to
roll with the veteran the process, because I mean, Russ

(19:33):
was fine as a rookie, but it wasn't like he
was great. He was just no, no, no, the right
situation exactly, a really good defense and then need on that.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
And Marshawn Lynch exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
And remember for a long time and Seat I was
always like, let Russ cook because they didn't let him cook, right,
They didn't let him.

Speaker 4 (19:48):
That's how they the same if you look at the formula,
it's what we just said there. It's Ben Roethlisberger those
first years in Pittsburgh when they were winning. And it's
the same thing with Tom Like when you get that
young guy and you have a culture and you have
a thing, and you're like, he's good. Just don't hurt us.
You see that, it's Joe Flack in the beginning, but

(20:09):
they jo seventy stour year old coaches that by the
top that that's the issue. I I hear what you're saying,
but by the time you're ready to win, Pete Carroll
won't be there.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Rob g do you honestly think that he thinks he's
long for the job because he took a three year deal,
that that that's a Super Bowl champion coach taking a
three He has to know that he's not. He's Bill
belichickings He's doing.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
The same thing.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
And he might even brought in one of his assistants,
maybe his Bill Belichick's son, Like I'm handing this to
you when I leave.

And it's time now for the hot seat, Damn sun.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
The current temperature is the Odd Couple are making it
hot in here. Time to sit your butt down in
cooking the hot seat.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
I heard y'all get low numbers, but yes, it is
the hot seat here on the Odd Couple. Fox Sports Radio,
Sam Won, we invite one of our Fox Sports teammates
to get into the square circle with the tag team
Champions of the World, Rob Parker kelvin Washington. The Odd Couple.
Tonight's victim burned so bad the first time he had

(22:52):
to come back and get some get back the Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 10 (22:57):
We can't y'all already shut starting now.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
First of Shay, do me a favor. Move my bag
so you know they can see you a lot of
I don't think they can't see me no matter what.
But it's all right, well either.

Speaker 10 (23:08):
All they need to do is hear me right now
because I'm going to lay facts. WHOA, you guys are
not ready, I'm ready. I just I messed up last time.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
All right.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Here's the thing, though he don't know his different styles
of fight. Sometimes I rope you got to come out
of He was like rock he's ready now or here
we go. He got three hot takes. Hes gonna fin
him two one against the hot couple. Let's get started
take number one.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Shay says that if cricket got the same kind of
financial backing as baseball, it would be more popular in
the States than America's favorite pastime.

Speaker 10 (23:41):
All right, easy, baseball is boring. Baseball's doing everything to
shorten the game.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
What pitchclock? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 10 (23:50):
Cricket lasts five days long, and those entire five days
the fans love it. Cricket doesn't have to do anything
to get people to the stadium. Baseball's got to shortened games,
gotta keep doing things like the Golden app bat.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
What are you kidding me?

Speaker 10 (24:05):
Cricket, by far internationally is more loved than baseball as well.
So it's literally the only thing that's stopping cricket from
blowing up in the US is baseball.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
Shaite. How many cricket games have you been to? Matches too?
Why don't you go more? Because it was an Arizona Okay,
let me tell you something. Nobody in their right mind.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Would spend two seconds in that place and most of
the people internationally, they have nowhere.

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Else to go. There's nothing else to locked in. They
have to go to cricket. Major League Baseball sell seventy.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Million tickets a year, more than the NBA, more than
the NFL, more than the NHL.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
And more than MLS.

Speaker 10 (24:46):
Comebine, that's in the US. We are talking international right now.
When I tell cricket to anyone outside of the US,
they go, oh, I love playing that, I love doing that.
But I've never seen a baseball game in my life.
Baseball is big in the US, Rob, And I promise
you you have never seen a cricket match.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Have you? You can answer right now yes or no.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
No.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I wouldn't waste me tell you. I have no idea
what you're missing. Rob.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
I am telling you cricket by far will be a
thousand times bigger than the MLB.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
All right, First of all, you keep bringing up crickets.
You know what you happened if we went to a
mutch we wait here, crickets. That's exactly what what happens
they We also tell you this, that's a backyard game. Hey, Rob,
I'm having a barbecue. You want to come play cricket?
We will play it in a backyard. That's another thing.
And it looks like spanking paddles, that's what. Who is
spanking somebody at a Catholic school or something. I just

(25:40):
spank you right now for bringing up cricket right now,
bringing up cricket.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Light words, are you kidding me? Spaking match? I apologize
to go in on.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
I don't know who this new Shay is, but I'm
actually like him a lot better than the old Shae.
He actually came here with some fire success or some gusts,
and learned from the Rob Parker school of broadcast, and
just yelling makes it true.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
I have.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Literally the last You've been talking for five minutes. I've
been watching the rules in gameplay of cricket a breakdown.
I'm confused. I still don't know what this guy is
running at and throwing at. It's an open field. I
don't know where they're going, Shy, I'm invested. I'd love
to watch more. I give the shot the point, Shy,
work one zero, give me the broom.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
All right? We cooked? We cooked over here with Come on, man,
before we go, what's up with the soundboard? Sound out?
That's nowhere about what I'm going over a we doing.
I want to fer take the point away.

Speaker 7 (26:37):
I'm thinking in front of you that the reps and
these guys are Patrick Mahoe okay, pointing back from.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
What do you want from me? These judges man? Allright,
here we go. Take number two.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Shay says, I don't give a damn about Kendrick Lamar
because super Bowl halftime shows are not good anywhere you
got thirty seconds home.

Speaker 10 (27:01):
Don't get me wrong. I love Kendrick Lamar and I
love to see him live. I saw him at Coachella,
I've seen him tons of times in LA. But a
super Bowl halftime show, no one's paying attention to you.
First off, it's for the TV, so everyone that's there
witnessing it in person, I'm sorry, but it sucks. You
can barely hear it. He's not even facing you. Second off,

(27:22):
most of the people that are watching the super Bowl
are getting food during the halftime show. It's a bunch
of wastes of time.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Some memorable halftime shows, and people are locked in because
they want to see Beyonce, they want to see Lady Gaga,
they want to see these people.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Perform at the super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
It is a part, Yes, I can actually give food
on a line and watch it and listen to the
music at the same time. It's a perfect match for
the Super Bowl is the halftime show?

Speaker 10 (27:57):
You know what would be way more fun to watch
the mask playing against each other, something where I can
actually watch it and be like and be able to
see it. First off, because half the time, remember Rihanna
with her pregnant belly, she was flying in the air.
Half the time I couldn't even see her three thousand
backup dancers.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
What is going on?

Speaker 10 (28:16):
It's not even a good sounding like song either, because
it's half the lyrics that are just not heard. It
doesn't make sense. Show me some peewee kids playing. Let
me see the state champions doing something. Let me see
like a gauntlet or something.

Speaker 4 (28:28):
I ain't never heard a man in my life complaining
about looking at Rihanna?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
What is going on with you?

Speaker 3 (28:32):
Say?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Let's talk about the first of all, it's a free concert, dude.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
This is how I know you got some money. It's
a free concert. You know how explainsive it is to
see Rihanna. Lady God got ketchric Lamar Beyonce. We all
get to see him for fifteen twenty minutes for free. Also,
a lot of people say, I don't know anything about
the Chiefs, only thing about the Eagles, but I get
to see a concert. They come to your party or
Super Bowl party, and they come for that as well.
So you get a different audience in your house to
have fun and engage.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
What is wrong with you? Have some fun?

Speaker 7 (28:59):
Oh man, it's funny hearing a guy so he wouldnt
kiss Beyonce with ranch on her mouth on a pregnant fly.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Everybody asks you to remember on his alexy.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
I'm the judge the jury, and I got to take
But it's funny because Shane was like totally just pooping
on baseball. Yet the mascots race each other because they
got nothing else to do. But you know, it's funny though.
I will say this, and I do agree with Shaye.
I think that the halftime performance show has been nothing
of any value. That's why they had like that whole
justin Timberlake expose Janet Jackson because they're like, what are

(29:29):
you people to watch again? So I'm on Shaye on
this one too. Wowzero last one, God, keep your point.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Last one hot is taking the night the hot seat.
Shae on with the yacht cup. But here we go,
Shay says, in the world of sports radio, the ideal
radio show length is two hours. You got thirty seconds
explain yourself.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
First.

Speaker 10 (29:52):
First off, if this show was two hours long, it
would just be no callers, and I don't care about
the callers. Sorry, you're good, Shay. No, yeah, it's my time,
not your time. But anyway, let's restart those thirty seconds.
Three two one. If this show was two hours, it
would literally be everything you guys talked about without the callers.

(30:13):
No one cares about the callers. Second off, right now,
this is the third hour. Why am I talking on
the air. You don't need this, No one needs to
Are you kidding me? We don't need this. You're bringing
in Rob half the time. It's not Rob G's show,
it's your show. Come on, I don't need to say.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
You better, you better better.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
If you think a two hour radio show is good,
i'd also have lost thirteen games as a basketball coach.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
At the same time, I can't say it. Calvin's done.
Here we go, Here we go.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
So that.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Was a great round.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
But since I like my job, I'm gonna say three
hour shows are worth the money. So Couple gets the
last came out guns blazing you for the first of all.
That last take fell real.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Rob G. So you guys are talking about you know,
you know that you know that Spider Man me where
they're pointing at each other. That was you and Rob
G right there pointing at each other and want you.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
And what you don't know is the Odd Couple is
about the listener? Is their show not out?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Always awesome moment? I'm happy? Yeah, yeah, Rob G, Man,
this was fun, nice job. I'm like, man, it's only
some Rob was sake? All right?

How you guys doing you guys doing good?

Speaker 2 (33:04):

Speaker 8 (33:07):
I gotta go one thing because I heard that with
the stuff from last week. Rob Parker is the guy
that didn't vote for each your row talking about it
and I want people to be talking about this because
I think that's the thing. But he don't vote, so.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
So chance chance you don't believe that, do you, Chad?

Speaker 8 (33:25):
Do I know Rob Parker? I think you know, but
I know Rob Parker and he and you know, I
had a conversation with like I met him, like you know,
he was he was going into a sort of buy
some foods and he was getting a free resell on
his soda and he said, and I said, hey, did
you vote for eachro? He goes, so, but don't tell anybody.
Don't tell me. I'm getting this free refill. So I said, okay,

(33:45):
thanks a lot, and then I took a selfie rob
and put it up online. And that's the whole thing.
But I think people should know you didn't vote for
each your row man.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I mean, just Chad, you got to just own it
at this point.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
That's the last time I want to go and hang

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Yeah see I pulled it out about him. I'm just
talking about Pressed. The original one had real rats.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
I could tell you fear in your eye, right, and
when we saw a rat with wings also known as
a bat in here.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
You wouldn't be afraid of a bat.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
No, it wasn't afraid. It's how afraid you were. You
jumped on my lap and I was offended. I did
not want to like our first week, I don't want
to get bit in the neck by bat.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
