Chris and Rob give us up-to-the-minute analysis of the NL Wild Card game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the St Louis Cardinals, debate if Power 5 athletic directors should still view Urban Meyer as a hireable candidate if he decides to leave the Jacksonville Jaguars after the season, and tell us why the Carolina Panthers acquisition of Stephon Gilmore proves they have a lot of faith in Sam Darnold's ability to 'win now'. Plus, the guys go head-to-head in this week's edition of Teichert's Tower of Trivia.

(00:26):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. All right, it is
the Eye Couple. I'm Chris. He's Robber coming to you
live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And at the
bottom of the hour, the segment that is taking the
nation darright say the world the globe by storms, tight shirts,
(00:52):
excuse me? Tower of trivia? Why is coming up at
the bottom of the hour. It is always a barrel
of laughs. It is much funnier then Roy Parker's random
jokes throughout the show, So definitely keeping locked for that.
He just showed up from getting his diet Blooney's sandwich. No, no,
(01:14):
I just needed some water. What do you eat? What
do you eat today? You still? Are you on your
diet right now? Yeah? Yeah? What what'd you eat today today?
I had uh for breakfast? I had eggs and sausage,
no toast, no potatoes, then for lunch early lunch ten am,
because I have breakfast, had like seven. I eat early.
Then I have like tuna fish or chicken salad. That's it, okay.
(01:38):
Then I had big chicken at about twelve thirty and
a salad, then out a hamburger, but we came on
the show. You ate all of that by twelve thirty. Yep,
then I had. Then I had a ham cheeseburger with
no bun. Uh, just a cheeseburger and um, some diet
(01:58):
catch up on it. Lettuce and a couple of pickles.
And then tonight I'm gonna have lamb chops, green beans
and a salad. That'll be my dinner and I'll be
gone eating by seven thirty. That's a diet. Yeah, I'm eating. Wow,
I'm not eating the carbs right A. Let you know that.
I mean, I'm eating meat, and that's I'm glad you're
(02:20):
throwing in some green beans because I don't think you
heard of the color green. What. I eat a lot
of salads, Jack, You gotta have your right. The only
thing I'd like you to add a little bit of
rom is just some fruit, just for a little fiber.
Help you help pass the fruit has so much sugar.
I know it's good, it's but a little. It's just
(02:43):
concerned about losing weight. He don't care about you know.
You know the last time I went to the doctor
to have my autois check, I had uh, what do
you call it when you get um like ardened arteries. No,
I didn't have hard but I had like no, no, no,
(03:07):
when you like spit up like you have acid reflux. Right, yeah,
And so I went to the doctor. I thought they
thought I was having a heart attack. So I go
to the doctor. Yeah. This was like when I was
in Detroit. I was. It was about so I get
in there, I'm acting like I'm running the hospital. I'm
like an emergency room. I'm like, well, you know, my
show starts at seven, so we gotta get me out
of here, like as soon as possible. You know, this
(03:31):
is when you lived in Detroit. Yeah. I just went
back as you said. I thought you said the last
time you went to the hospital. Yeah. No, no, no no, no,
I was just saying like like like the last time
I went to the hospital, Yeah, like for an emergency
because I had acid reflux after eating lung. So anyway,
I go and they say, oh, we think you might
have had a heart attack. We're gonna keep you in
(03:53):
and and then they're gonna give me a test to
check out my arteries and everything. So they give me
that asked and the doctor comes in and he looks
at everything, and they keep me overnight, and he's like,
I gotta admit. He goes and I was in my
forties back then. He said, your arteries are so clean.
I can't. He says, you look like you have arteries
(04:14):
of a twelve year old boy. He said, I think
you could live to be one hundred years old. Your
arteries are so clean. That's what he said to me.
Were you doing these types of diets at that time? No,
I was just you know, I was chasing young girl,
so I was already slimt. You know what I'm saying.
I hear you. It's interesting because I mean, that's a
(04:34):
lot of food. I don't know when the last time
I ate that much food, and it really crisp. That's
but you know what I had to tell you. Why though,
when you talk about a diet, you gotta feed the
body every couple of hours so that the body doesn't
store fat. Am I right? Alex? Like, if you keep
feeding it, it won't hold on anything. But if you
put your body in starvation molding, you only eat twice
(04:55):
a day. Any food the body gets its stores as fat.
It's interesting, God, but you probably got enough fat in
your body that like when you fast, the reason you
lose weight is because eventually your body starts you know
that that fat that's stored up, it starts using that
is it for energy, and you lose the weight. You know,
(05:17):
Like like all I've had today I had after my
show this morning, I had some tea and uh like
a plant based energy bar. And then I for dinner
around four thirty, I had spaghetti and meat sauce, and
(05:38):
I had a kit Cat bar for dessert. And that's it.
That's all I've eating all day. Wow, my head would
be spinning. All right, all right, let's get into this
Urban Meyer Rob. We all know what's going on with
old Urban And it was interesting because look, he's only
four in the NFL, but put him down in NC
(06:01):
double A. He can coach. All right, we know how
great of a coach he has been in college football.
So the Action Network did a survey. They asked sixty
five athletic directors from the Power five. Well, I guess
they went outside of the Power five too, But they
(06:22):
asked sixty five ads how many of them would consider
hiring urban Meyer for next season if he were available. Rob,
seventy three percent said no, and eighty five percent of
the Power five ads said no some of the some
(06:43):
of the comments are really strong. Here's one, are you
blanking me? So? Are you kidding me? He has a
mental problem. How does a guy that makes ten million
dollars a year go to a bar and put his
hand up a woman's crotch? Wow? Another power of five,
(07:05):
A D said there are just too many uncertainty surrounding him.
No way not. These are separate comments from other ads.
No way, not in a million years. Here's another one.
I can't imagine anyone hires him at this stage. He's
clearly shown he can't handle these big jobs. Finally, Rob,
(07:26):
if I was someplace else, I wouldn't rule it out.
So what are your thoughts on this? I think urban
Meyer is unhirable at this point. And even if even
if he thought maybe Chris, he was going to, you know,
bow out in Jacksonville and go back go to USC
(07:46):
live in southern California beautiful la beautiful facility, and a
story program and all the great players would played at
USC and all the other stuff and turn it into
a winner. The problem is they've had too many any scandals,
and he doesn't come with just this. He harbored a
(08:06):
co coach Chris who was abusing his wife, and the
woman told Urban's wife, and he acts like he didn't
know anything about it. There's other things that have come.
Look at the decision making Chris Doyle. You might get
away with that in college where you go unchecked, but
(08:29):
that was another bad decision I think at this point
to put him on a college campus with co eds
after you just saw what went down. You're, Chris, you're
asking for trouble. You're asking for there to be some
sort of Can you imagine if something happens with the
(08:50):
co ed at the new college that he goes to,
they'll say, look at the video tape. You hired this guy.
He's married and he's groping a woman at the bar.
There as far as I know, other than this video,
Like I get that that's you know, other than this video.
But there have never been allegations of him messing around
(09:12):
with co eds or anything no. But but I'm just saying,
giving what they've seen USC and some of these schools
can afford to do it. Chris is not like this
is the first time he stepped out a line, and
you're not gonna jump on the guy the first time
he's had some other stuff. There are people who think
(09:33):
he's a slime ball. That's not my word. I've heard
that from a number of people who think he's slimy.
And this is the problem that you have, all right,
this is why these g this is why these ads
are saying that they can't that they wouldn't hire them
because it's not just this one incident. Let me start
off with this, and you know me, Rob, I totally
(09:55):
disagree with what urban Meyer was doing last weekend. Right,
It's terrible. He gonna have to deal with that with
his wife. No doubt it was wrong. I disagree with
the way he handles Zach was Zach Smith, his assistant
coach who was abusing his wife all that. So I'm
not writing for Urban Myers behavior at all. But Rob Parker,
(10:20):
I think these ads are full of hot air, and
I certainly don't think he's inhirible because I think we
live in a society where at the end of the day,
it's all about the bottom line. I would love to
go back to an era, back to a day where
we expected more from our leaders, where we did hold
(10:41):
people to a higher standard. Right, if you're if you're
a politician, if you're the leader of a university, of
a football team where you're leading young men, we expected
your behavior to be at a certain level. Those days
are passed. Man, Can I can I say one thing?
I don't want to interrupt your flaw one thing. Politicians
(11:02):
who are elected by the people are different from people
who work for other people. It's not it's apples and oranges.
It's apples and oranges. It's just one is they're they're elected.
They weren't hired by a higher authority. And a football
coach is hired by the administration, and and and and
(11:24):
it and it reflects on them and they have to
oversee the university. That's why Trump was elected. People didn't
like it, but he was elected, and the people spoke
and they voted for him, and he won the election
and he beat Hillary or whatever. He's the president. Whether
you like it or not, a whether or that or not,
it's I hear you, it's not different because they both
(11:48):
reflect on other people. If we choose to put somebody
in office that has these moral issues and these moral
failures and these greet just moral fail then yeah, he
wasn't hired by somebody, but it still reflects on the
people that voted for him and put him in office.
There was a time, remember Gary Hart, I think nineteen
(12:10):
eighty eight it was he was the leading candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomination and he got caught with a
mistress and he was done. So there was a time
when politicians were held to a higher standard. Now they
might have been bugging behind the scenes, we know a
lot of them were, but in the public eye you
couldn't do that stuff. And now it's all open man.
(12:34):
And so I like, I don't like what urban Meyer
was doing it. Like I said, I'd love to go
back to a day and age where we held people
to a higher standard. But it ain't there no more.
And if urban Meyer can help a university, we'll just
look around you, man. If urban Meyer can help a
university win football games, that's all they care about, as
(12:54):
long as it ain't ridiculous. And I'm not saying you
like him to be out at bars with women and stuff.
I'm just saying you don't want that stuff happening, But
I'm saying I don't think it makes him unhiable. I
disagree on the college level. I think that there's a
certain standard and where we are now that's unacceptable and
(13:16):
that you can't it's a bad look, Chris. It's different
if there's rumors that he plays around. When you start
seeing videotape, it changes everything. It ain't no, I don't
know what really went on at the bar. Maybe the
woman brushed up against him. When you saw Ray Rice
and you heard Donald Sterling and you see urban Meyer
(13:39):
in action, it gives you. You can't unsee that. And
as a college president hiring somebody, they're gonna say, I
can't hire that guy. As soon as we have the
press conference, you know what they're gonna say. Did you
see when he was fooling around at the bar when
his wife was home watching the grandkids? You you hired
that guy to I'm wing to a college campus. Are
(14:01):
you concerned about the safety of young women on campus
with this man rolling around? Safety of young women? Don't
you know that's a little overboard? Round I'm just talk
molesting the girl. But I'm just saying. I mean Rick
Petitot get hired, and it was and they made work.
(14:22):
Think about it. I know he shouldn't be, but he's
still coach. He shouldn't be working. Well he got fire five.
It ain't about should it because I'm with you. It
ain't about should have or shouldn't should It's about could
he get hired. We got a prime example in Rick Petino,
not to mention many others, So I think it comes
(14:42):
down to wins or losses. Unfortunately, that's above character for
a lot of people. But let's throw it out to
the listeners. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Is
Urban Meyer unhirable at the college level? You're turned away?

seven seven ninety nine. On Fox, you heard robbing myself
(15:48):
talking about it is urban Meyer. If he wants to
go back to college after this season? Is he unhirable?
All right, let's kick it off with him in Atlanta.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Tim? Hey,
what's up? Guys? How are you doing this evening? How
are you? I'm great, man great. I'm gonna agree with
(16:11):
Chris rob because I look at Hugh Freeze. Man. I mean,
after the scandal down that old miss, he was hired
by Liberty of all places, Bible College, right right, I mean,
I think it's the bottom line if you can help
somebody win. Hey, you know they're all forgiving as long
as you know you can get some wins on the field. Man,
(16:33):
what's the schools you're talking about? Not major schools. I
don't believe that Irwin Mayer would get the caliber of
job that he's used to. If you want to be
uh um who was the India Bobby Knight and go
to Texas Tech or these other schools, or Rick Patino
go to Iona and yes, those schools will hire you,
(16:55):
but you won't get a major job. And that's my point.
I'm sure you want to go to a small school
and somebody you can get a major. Doubt because what
Urban Meyer did Rob in this case, at least, it
wasn't anywhere near what you Freeze and Rick pettine O
were doing. Yeah, but I'm just talking about if he
comes with baggage. Now there's other stuff, but that's me
Drew in New Jersey, you're on the odd couple of
(17:17):
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drew? So I don't think
you need to be acquired boy to be a good coach.
I think it's whatever your players think of you, If
your players respect you, that goes on. And I don't
think you're going to find that out until the end
of the year. And let's be perfectly honest. That roster
is hot garbage. But they've been competitive, competitive in almost
every game. When I look back at teams that were
(17:38):
not competitive and people were not asking for their job.
I go back to the Dolphins of twenty nineteen. Through
the first four games they got outscored one sixty three
to twenty four. Not a single person was called for
Brian Floy's job. I didn't gotta wait till the end
of the year. And I look at guys like Matt
Naggie and I think it's ridiculous if they're calling for
(17:58):
his job. Guess what three the first four years of
his coaching Creer, He's hes a fifty six win percentage.
And then you look at that man. Look, I'm with you,
urban Meyer. I think you play it out and you
see because they have played hard, losing five and a
(18:19):
half points or less. So like Matdennee gave me right
fully on the hot seat, I think he's rightfully on
the high But I do think a fifty six percent
winning percentage if they're all in ten and and they
get blown out in the next few games and it
looks like the players, Chris, it doesn't matter. I'm telling you,
they'll look at them right. Say. If you you talk
(18:41):
about Urban Meyer, yeah, Urban oh yeah, that's what we're
gonna watch and see how they respond to him. Now, right,
this week is gonna be big because if they don't
play or look like that or it's bad, you know,
really really bad, you're gonna start to say we think
he lost it, right right, lost them. Fox Sports Radio

Download the podcast Fools My Man, Alex Tyshert. Guys, I
have a serious question here real quick before we get
into this. Why is it that fans get so struck
up on if their team wins or lose, like it
actually affects their whole week? Isn't it crazy? As Rob
(20:33):
Parker always says, fan is short for fanatic. Yes, that's
where that's where we get that from. And you know what,
you're absolutely why it matters big time people really really
bothered by it. It's it's incredible on how good you
feel or how bad you feel after your team wins
or loses. It's amazing to me. Rob. Another question for you,
(20:53):
as the baseball guy, whatever happened to the art of
the sacrifice fly? How the heck do you ground into
a double will play basses loaded? Well, I mean, you're
trying to get the ball out there if you can't
Rob really the baseball guy, even the Yankees and the
Padres in the World Series. At least I'm still alive.
(21:15):
I got the Dodgers older, the Yankees not Yankees are out.
Let me see he still the best team. See how
much longer the win? I picked the win. I don't
worry about getting a hot take. You know what, let
me pick the Royals to win it. I picked them one.
Now the question is you, I'm doubted. If the Dodgers
(21:37):
lose tonight, does Chris still win because his team went
further by one year? You know why? Because they both lost.
Both lost in the wild scheduling works out in Chris's
favorite one. Yeah right, they went further. All right, let's
get to it, twar triggering order of our man Kyrie
Irving shaking up the headlines today. All of today's topics
(22:00):
are nets Big Three related, all right? Who this is
about vaccinations, not about the vaccination. Now again, the rules
of the game. No rhyming words, it's gotta be a
real words. No foreign languages, and no repeating of the
same clues Chris rules. Rob's the one. Every one of
(22:21):
those rules will put in there because of Rob Parker
what just because I said the same clue twice he
didn't get it the first time. Topping my clues, it
was about a paragraphs context before you give your Alex. Now,
remember what he just said. I want you to visualize this.
I want you to get deep into what's going on
right now. Okay, flip the coiner of the Chris gets
(22:43):
the first crack at question Number one. Chris James Harden's
nickname is pretty straightforward. Have you ever looked at him
at his face? Folks just call him the blank got
uh beard. That is every Okay, right, I'm I'm out.
(23:04):
I'm winning this one. I'm about saying Chris looks better
with but that's okay. He was gonna call him the mustache,
all right, here we go. Number two. Rob Parker Kyrie
starting a hit movie where he wear prosthetics to make
himself look like an old man. That movie was called
Blank drew On Uncle. Yeah, okay, come on, Ryan gets
(23:29):
a little tougher and all he gonna do is dunk it.
Tell you this. I still remember morning, that's my favorite.
Got taken off the air forgot to say morning. And
Fred Rogan is still like every time he sees me
can't believe I said it. All right, here we go.
(23:52):
Level three of the Tower gets a little tougher back
to Chris. Before they got to Brooklyn, James Harden and
Kevin Durant actually played together for the Blank City Thunder Tulsa, Tulsa.
Oh gosh, CB. You know I majored in geography, that's
(24:12):
for sure. Obviously to take a class. No, I probably left.
Let's see hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on Okay, for sure, for sure? Oklahoma, right, okay,
starting to worry, Hey, stop it? See all right? Level four,
(24:33):
we got a perfect game going Rob Parker Europe. Next.
Right before Kyrie got to the Nets, he played two
seasons with the Boston Blank There's a lot of teams, Bro.
That's such a good bro, a lot of Okay, sometime
(24:56):
today we're not a English Okay, okay, okay, I'm ready.
Bird Um, Why would you give a sports just because
I think he was? I feel like I'm just one guy.
(25:19):
You gotta know, I you gotta know. Do I have
to know my test? I guess I passed? Uh? Bird Um?
Is there a state with a bird? Uh? I know
our listeners are like, what I love this I've tried. Uh,
(25:42):
let me ask you animate questions? All right, listeners? Gee? Um,
but I'm sorry, Rob, I don't he here you go
here nine points for Christmas? Get it? Lepra con Oh
the um? Hold on, it's uh Celtics, right? That is good? Okay,
(26:05):

have to do with Celtics? How would you get that?
I thought of the team. I didn't know what team
was a Bird. I don't know Larry Bird who played
in all the basketball? Dude, you're talking to Alex play
for the Celtic? Way you you don't understand who you're
talking No, hold up, real talk. Didn't Bird play with like? No,

All right, here we go Level five. Chris got a
chance to really put some separation to himself right here. Rob.
Back in the day, James already made headlines when he
(26:50):
had a very public relationship and breakup with one of
the Blank sisters. Oh gosh, good, lay is Rob still playing?
No? No No, no, oh, he's on me? Yeah, that's why

can sing any better than me, not at all. No,
but I love him pouring out his heart to the Lord.
All right, we're the Eye Couple on the Worship Wednesday,
coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
As we wrap up a worship Wednesday, Rob, you want
(31:18):
to give an update on this game? Yeah, Justin Turner
just went deep to left field for the Dodgers offer
Adam Waynwright. It is now one to one in the
bottom of the fourth, So a good game playing out
so far. Dodgers finally get on the board and Chris,
I don't know if you saw this tweet from Shams
(31:39):
about the NBA sources. This is his tweet fourteen minutes
ago or so twenty minutes ago. NBA players will informed
unvaccinated players who breach quarantine in Toronto faced criminal offense.
Unvaccinated players only able to leave hotel for team activities.
Per Canada's Quarantine Act, Violators could lead up to six
(32:05):
months in prison or a seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in fins. Yeah, Toronto's Canada's not. They don't play.
Wow that that that's you. You remember the Blue Jays
played in in uh Buffalo, Chris, they couldn't even play
the Blue They remember that they wouldn't let the Blue
Jays play any home games. Yeah, remember that? And that
(32:29):
Toronto played where they playing Florida last year? Part they don't.
Canada not round with it exactly, So so that might
be another place he can't play orb Oh yeah, so
what they said, right, vaccinated? You said you have to
you have to be quarantine and so I don't understand, like,
like if you're unvaccinated to quarantine when you have to
stay in your room for a few days, I don't know.
(32:53):
It says players weren't formed. Unvaccinated players who breach quarantine
in Toronto? Coming on, But you said they said they
can't leave their room except for the team activities, right, wow? Wow? Okay?
All right? Rob? Well, um, this there was a big
move today by the Patriots. Uh. They sent shock waves
(33:17):
for a while throughout the NFL. They released Stefane Gilmore,
their best defensive player, and actually they ended up instead
they announced they were gonna release him, or they that
that story was leaked, and then they ended up trading
him to Carolina. Everybody know he's available, pick up the phone, right,
(33:39):
So they got like a six round pick. No big deal,
but I do think it was a big deal that
he went to Carolina for a few reasons. Rob One,
I thought, I mean, I said it on TV this morning.
Kansas City, which whose defense is atrocious, and Tampa Bay,
whose past defense has been atrocious, should have been breaking
(34:00):
down doors to get Safine Gilmore. And I thought, obviously,
right with Tom Brady there, you know, they played together
obviously in New England, that I thought he would have
They would have had to, you know, the advantage, and
I thought they were gonna get him, which would have
been huge for them, you know. But instead he goes
to Carolina. And what is in addition to it being
(34:24):
a big loss for Kansas City and Tampa Bay that
they couldn't get him. It's interesting because this was a
win now move Rob for the Carolina Panthers, and it
says a lot about what they think of Sam Darneld,
their quarterback. Who you know, and they're three and one.
Why should they give up and say like we don't
(34:44):
have something going or not feel good? What was it?
They beat the Saints and somebody else? Like two of
those wins were pretty good. What you say? They lost
to Dallas, they beat the Jets, obviously not a big one.
Now they they haven't really had any good wins. They
beat the Jets, they beat Houston, and they beat the Saints.
(35:04):
Saint that was the one and we and then the
Saints have really gone back with who they lose to
the Giants? Ye yes, yes, yes that's jams. Yeah, Jamis
isn't looking great. I will admit that they're not really
letting him on loose, letting him loose, you know, but
(35:26):
maybe they know something we don't. So, but what do
you think about Donald Rob? I think this is an
indictment on the Jets. I mean, this dude is thrown
for over three hundred yards in his last three games, right,
and what was this problem with the Jets. He'd do
it here and there, right, But he couldn't be consistent.
(35:47):
And now he's been consistent. He's not lighting the league
on fire. He's got five touchdowns, three picks, so let's
not go overboard. But he does like look like a
viable starter who can start on a good game. Right, No,
I agree, and and and that's not you know, after
the Jets, that's not what the feeling was. He looked awful.
(36:07):
But then again, we've seen it before, h and I
hate I know we bring it up a lot, but
with Jared golf under Fisher, Jeff Fisher looked terrible. Chris, Remember,
we just thought like he's a he's a bust, and
he went on to be an All Pro and and
play play real well and take a team to the
super Bowl and put up all these numbers and all
(36:29):
this other stuff. So sometimes you gotta be at the
right situation. But Sam Donald definitely looks way better than
he did when he was with the Jets in New York.
He just does. And just so you don't think we're
paling on the Jets, Zach Wilson did look good last game. Yeah,
he had a couple of big throws in that game.
And uh, I mean that's a bad loss. For Tennessee.
(36:53):
It just is uh, but it'll be it'll be interesting.
As I said earlier, Chris, with this game against Jacksonville,
I've coming off that loss. Oh yeah, they can't. I
can't imagine they lose to Jacksonville. That's what I'm That
might be the lock of the millennium. You hear me, Chris.
You might even have to take some shekels out of
your pocket. I don't know what the spread is, but
(37:15):
I feel real good that the Titans you're gonna beat
Jacksonville coming off this whole debacle. Yeah, I would agree
with you there. I would agree with you there. All right,

live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. And at the
bottom of the hour, the segment that is taking the
nation darright say the world the globe by storms, tight shirts,
(00:52):
excuse me? Tower of trivia? Why is coming up at
the bottom of the hour. It is always a barrel
of laughs. It is much funnier then Roy Parker's random
jokes throughout the show, So definitely keeping locked for that.
He just showed up from getting his diet Blooney's sandwich. No, no,
(01:14):
I just needed some water. What do you eat? What
do you eat today? You still? Are you on your
diet right now? Yeah? Yeah? What what'd you eat today today?
I had uh for breakfast? I had eggs and sausage,
no toast, no potatoes, then for lunch early lunch ten am,
because I have breakfast, had like seven. I eat early.
Then I have like tuna fish or chicken salad. That's it, okay.
(01:38):
Then I had big chicken at about twelve thirty and
a salad, then out a hamburger, but we came on
the show. You ate all of that by twelve thirty. Yep,
then I had. Then I had a ham cheeseburger with
no bun. Uh, just a cheeseburger and um, some diet
(01:58):
catch up on it. Lettuce and a couple of pickles.
And then tonight I'm gonna have lamb chops, green beans
and a salad. That'll be my dinner and I'll be
gone eating by seven thirty. That's a diet. Yeah, I'm eating. Wow,
I'm not eating the carbs right A. Let you know that.
I mean, I'm eating meat, and that's I'm glad you're
(02:20):
throwing in some green beans because I don't think you
heard of the color green. What. I eat a lot
of salads, Jack, You gotta have your right. The only
thing I'd like you to add a little bit of
rom is just some fruit, just for a little fiber.
Help you help pass the fruit has so much sugar.
I know it's good, it's but a little. It's just
(02:43):
concerned about losing weight. He don't care about you know.
You know the last time I went to the doctor
to have my autois check, I had uh, what do
you call it when you get um like ardened arteries. No,
I didn't have hard but I had like no, no, no,
(03:07):
when you like spit up like you have acid reflux. Right, yeah,
And so I went to the doctor. I thought they
thought I was having a heart attack. So I go
to the doctor. Yeah. This was like when I was
in Detroit. I was. It was about so I get
in there, I'm acting like I'm running the hospital. I'm
like an emergency room. I'm like, well, you know, my
show starts at seven, so we gotta get me out
of here, like as soon as possible. You know, this
(03:31):
is when you lived in Detroit. Yeah. I just went
back as you said. I thought you said the last
time you went to the hospital. Yeah. No, no, no no, no,
I was just saying like like like the last time
I went to the hospital, Yeah, like for an emergency
because I had acid reflux after eating lung. So anyway,
I go and they say, oh, we think you might
have had a heart attack. We're gonna keep you in
(03:53):
and and then they're gonna give me a test to
check out my arteries and everything. So they give me
that asked and the doctor comes in and he looks
at everything, and they keep me overnight, and he's like,
I gotta admit. He goes and I was in my
forties back then. He said, your arteries are so clean.
I can't. He says, you look like you have arteries
(04:14):
of a twelve year old boy. He said, I think
you could live to be one hundred years old. Your
arteries are so clean. That's what he said to me.
Were you doing these types of diets at that time? No,
I was just you know, I was chasing young girl,
so I was already slimt. You know what I'm saying.
I hear you. It's interesting because I mean, that's a
(04:34):
lot of food. I don't know when the last time
I ate that much food, and it really crisp. That's
but you know what I had to tell you. Why though,
when you talk about a diet, you gotta feed the
body every couple of hours so that the body doesn't
store fat. Am I right? Alex? Like, if you keep
feeding it, it won't hold on anything. But if you
put your body in starvation molding, you only eat twice
(04:55):
a day. Any food the body gets its stores as fat.
It's interesting, God, but you probably got enough fat in
your body that like when you fast, the reason you
lose weight is because eventually your body starts you know
that that fat that's stored up, it starts using that
is it for energy, and you lose the weight. You know,
(05:17):
Like like all I've had today I had after my
show this morning, I had some tea and uh like
a plant based energy bar. And then I for dinner
around four thirty, I had spaghetti and meat sauce, and
(05:38):
I had a kit Cat bar for dessert. And that's it.
That's all I've eating all day. Wow, my head would
be spinning. All right, all right, let's get into this
Urban Meyer Rob. We all know what's going on with
old Urban And it was interesting because look, he's only
four in the NFL, but put him down in NC
(06:01):
double A. He can coach. All right, we know how
great of a coach he has been in college football.
So the Action Network did a survey. They asked sixty
five athletic directors from the Power five. Well, I guess
they went outside of the Power five too, But they
(06:22):
asked sixty five ads how many of them would consider
hiring urban Meyer for next season if he were available. Rob,
seventy three percent said no, and eighty five percent of
the Power five ads said no some of the some
(06:43):
of the comments are really strong. Here's one, are you
blanking me? So? Are you kidding me? He has a
mental problem. How does a guy that makes ten million
dollars a year go to a bar and put his
hand up a woman's crotch? Wow? Another power of five,
(07:05):
A D said there are just too many uncertainty surrounding him.
No way not. These are separate comments from other ads.
No way, not in a million years. Here's another one.
I can't imagine anyone hires him at this stage. He's
clearly shown he can't handle these big jobs. Finally, Rob,
(07:26):
if I was someplace else, I wouldn't rule it out.
So what are your thoughts on this? I think urban
Meyer is unhirable at this point. And even if even
if he thought maybe Chris, he was going to, you know,
bow out in Jacksonville and go back go to USC
(07:46):
live in southern California beautiful la beautiful facility, and a
story program and all the great players would played at
USC and all the other stuff and turn it into
a winner. The problem is they've had too many any scandals,
and he doesn't come with just this. He harbored a
(08:06):
co coach Chris who was abusing his wife, and the
woman told Urban's wife, and he acts like he didn't
know anything about it. There's other things that have come.
Look at the decision making Chris Doyle. You might get
away with that in college where you go unchecked, but
(08:29):
that was another bad decision I think at this point
to put him on a college campus with co eds
after you just saw what went down. You're, Chris, you're
asking for trouble. You're asking for there to be some
sort of Can you imagine if something happens with the
(08:50):
co ed at the new college that he goes to,
they'll say, look at the video tape. You hired this guy.
He's married and he's groping a woman at the bar.
There as far as I know, other than this video,
Like I get that that's you know, other than this video.
But there have never been allegations of him messing around
(09:12):
with co eds or anything no. But but I'm just saying,
giving what they've seen USC and some of these schools
can afford to do it. Chris is not like this
is the first time he stepped out a line, and
you're not gonna jump on the guy the first time
he's had some other stuff. There are people who think
(09:33):
he's a slime ball. That's not my word. I've heard
that from a number of people who think he's slimy.
And this is the problem that you have, all right,
this is why these g this is why these ads
are saying that they can't that they wouldn't hire them
because it's not just this one incident. Let me start
off with this, and you know me, Rob, I totally
(09:55):
disagree with what urban Meyer was doing last weekend. Right,
It's terrible. He gonna have to deal with that with
his wife. No doubt it was wrong. I disagree with
the way he handles Zach was Zach Smith, his assistant
coach who was abusing his wife all that. So I'm
not writing for Urban Myers behavior at all. But Rob Parker,
(10:20):
I think these ads are full of hot air, and
I certainly don't think he's inhirible because I think we
live in a society where at the end of the day,
it's all about the bottom line. I would love to
go back to an era, back to a day where
we expected more from our leaders, where we did hold
(10:41):
people to a higher standard. Right, if you're if you're
a politician, if you're the leader of a university, of
a football team where you're leading young men, we expected
your behavior to be at a certain level. Those days
are passed. Man, Can I can I say one thing?
I don't want to interrupt your flaw one thing. Politicians
(11:02):
who are elected by the people are different from people
who work for other people. It's not it's apples and oranges.
It's apples and oranges. It's just one is they're they're elected.
They weren't hired by a higher authority. And a football
coach is hired by the administration, and and and and
(11:24):
it and it reflects on them and they have to
oversee the university. That's why Trump was elected. People didn't
like it, but he was elected, and the people spoke
and they voted for him, and he won the election
and he beat Hillary or whatever. He's the president. Whether
you like it or not, a whether or that or not,
it's I hear you, it's not different because they both
(11:48):
reflect on other people. If we choose to put somebody
in office that has these moral issues and these moral
failures and these greet just moral fail then yeah, he
wasn't hired by somebody, but it still reflects on the
people that voted for him and put him in office.
There was a time, remember Gary Hart, I think nineteen
(12:10):
eighty eight it was he was the leading candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomination and he got caught with a
mistress and he was done. So there was a time
when politicians were held to a higher standard. Now they
might have been bugging behind the scenes, we know a
lot of them were, but in the public eye you
couldn't do that stuff. And now it's all open man.
(12:34):
And so I like, I don't like what urban Meyer
was doing it. Like I said, I'd love to go
back to a day and age where we held people
to a higher standard. But it ain't there no more.
And if urban Meyer can help a university, we'll just
look around you, man. If urban Meyer can help a
university win football games, that's all they care about, as
(12:54):
long as it ain't ridiculous. And I'm not saying you
like him to be out at bars with women and stuff.
I'm just saying you don't want that stuff happening, But
I'm saying I don't think it makes him unhiable. I
disagree on the college level. I think that there's a
certain standard and where we are now that's unacceptable and
(13:16):
that you can't it's a bad look, Chris. It's different
if there's rumors that he plays around. When you start
seeing videotape, it changes everything. It ain't no, I don't
know what really went on at the bar. Maybe the
woman brushed up against him. When you saw Ray Rice
and you heard Donald Sterling and you see urban Meyer
(13:39):
in action, it gives you. You can't unsee that. And
as a college president hiring somebody, they're gonna say, I
can't hire that guy. As soon as we have the
press conference, you know what they're gonna say. Did you
see when he was fooling around at the bar when
his wife was home watching the grandkids? You you hired
that guy to I'm wing to a college campus. Are
(14:01):
you concerned about the safety of young women on campus
with this man rolling around? Safety of young women? Don't
you know that's a little overboard? Round I'm just talk
molesting the girl. But I'm just saying. I mean Rick
Petitot get hired, and it was and they made work.
(14:22):
Think about it. I know he shouldn't be, but he's
still coach. He shouldn't be working. Well he got fire five.
It ain't about should it because I'm with you. It
ain't about should have or shouldn't should It's about could
he get hired. We got a prime example in Rick Petino,
not to mention many others, So I think it comes
(14:42):
down to wins or losses. Unfortunately, that's above character for
a lot of people. But let's throw it out to
the listeners. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight
seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. Is
Urban Meyer unhirable at the college level? You're turned away?

seven seven ninety nine. On Fox, you heard robbing myself
(15:48):
talking about it is urban Meyer. If he wants to
go back to college after this season? Is he unhirable?
All right, let's kick it off with him in Atlanta.
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Tim? Hey,
what's up? Guys? How are you doing this evening? How
are you? I'm great, man great. I'm gonna agree with
(16:11):
Chris rob because I look at Hugh Freeze. Man. I mean,
after the scandal down that old miss, he was hired
by Liberty of all places, Bible College, right right, I mean,
I think it's the bottom line if you can help
somebody win. Hey, you know they're all forgiving as long
as you know you can get some wins on the field. Man,
(16:33):
what's the schools you're talking about? Not major schools. I
don't believe that Irwin Mayer would get the caliber of
job that he's used to. If you want to be
uh um who was the India Bobby Knight and go
to Texas Tech or these other schools, or Rick Patino
go to Iona and yes, those schools will hire you,
(16:55):
but you won't get a major job. And that's my point.
I'm sure you want to go to a small school
and somebody you can get a major. Doubt because what
Urban Meyer did Rob in this case, at least, it
wasn't anywhere near what you Freeze and Rick pettine O
were doing. Yeah, but I'm just talking about if he
comes with baggage. Now there's other stuff, but that's me
Drew in New Jersey, you're on the odd couple of
(17:17):
Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Drew? So I don't think
you need to be acquired boy to be a good coach.
I think it's whatever your players think of you, If
your players respect you, that goes on. And I don't
think you're going to find that out until the end
of the year. And let's be perfectly honest. That roster
is hot garbage. But they've been competitive, competitive in almost
every game. When I look back at teams that were
(17:38):
not competitive and people were not asking for their job.
I go back to the Dolphins of twenty nineteen. Through
the first four games they got outscored one sixty three
to twenty four. Not a single person was called for
Brian Floy's job. I didn't gotta wait till the end
of the year. And I look at guys like Matt
Naggie and I think it's ridiculous if they're calling for
(17:58):
his job. Guess what three the first four years of
his coaching Creer, He's hes a fifty six win percentage.
And then you look at that man. Look, I'm with you,
urban Meyer. I think you play it out and you
see because they have played hard, losing five and a
(18:19):
half points or less. So like Matdennee gave me right
fully on the hot seat, I think he's rightfully on
the high But I do think a fifty six percent
winning percentage if they're all in ten and and they
get blown out in the next few games and it
looks like the players, Chris, it doesn't matter. I'm telling you,
they'll look at them right. Say. If you you talk
(18:41):
about Urban Meyer, yeah, Urban oh yeah, that's what we're
gonna watch and see how they respond to him. Now, right,
this week is gonna be big because if they don't
play or look like that or it's bad, you know,
really really bad, you're gonna start to say we think
he lost it, right right, lost them. Fox Sports Radio

Download the podcast Fools My Man, Alex Tyshert. Guys, I
have a serious question here real quick before we get
into this. Why is it that fans get so struck
up on if their team wins or lose, like it
actually affects their whole week? Isn't it crazy? As Rob
(20:33):
Parker always says, fan is short for fanatic. Yes, that's
where that's where we get that from. And you know what,
you're absolutely why it matters big time people really really
bothered by it. It's it's incredible on how good you
feel or how bad you feel after your team wins
or loses. It's amazing to me. Rob. Another question for you,
(20:53):
as the baseball guy, whatever happened to the art of
the sacrifice fly? How the heck do you ground into
a double will play basses loaded? Well, I mean, you're
trying to get the ball out there if you can't
Rob really the baseball guy, even the Yankees and the
Padres in the World Series. At least I'm still alive.
(21:15):
I got the Dodgers older, the Yankees not Yankees are out.
Let me see he still the best team. See how
much longer the win? I picked the win. I don't
worry about getting a hot take. You know what, let
me pick the Royals to win it. I picked them one.
Now the question is you, I'm doubted. If the Dodgers
(21:37):
lose tonight, does Chris still win because his team went
further by one year? You know why? Because they both lost.
Both lost in the wild scheduling works out in Chris's
favorite one. Yeah right, they went further. All right, let's
get to it, twar triggering order of our man Kyrie
Irving shaking up the headlines today. All of today's topics
(22:00):
are nets Big Three related, all right? Who this is
about vaccinations, not about the vaccination. Now again, the rules
of the game. No rhyming words, it's gotta be a
real words. No foreign languages, and no repeating of the
same clues Chris rules. Rob's the one. Every one of
(22:21):
those rules will put in there because of Rob Parker
what just because I said the same clue twice he
didn't get it the first time. Topping my clues, it
was about a paragraphs context before you give your Alex. Now,
remember what he just said. I want you to visualize this.
I want you to get deep into what's going on
right now. Okay, flip the coiner of the Chris gets
(22:43):
the first crack at question Number one. Chris James Harden's
nickname is pretty straightforward. Have you ever looked at him
at his face? Folks just call him the blank got
uh beard. That is every Okay, right, I'm I'm out.
(23:04):
I'm winning this one. I'm about saying Chris looks better

No? No No, no, oh, he's on me? Yeah, that's why
here we put your stranglehold on this game here, all right,
all right, Chloe, Chloe, there's no pop culture either folks,

Oh man, sisters, um, oh god, I think I just

is Achilles. I would like for your guests to the
clue is Achilles. My good isn't The answer is Achilles? Achilles?
(28:22):
That was awesome. He threw it it, he threw the game.
He would have been a good one. You know what.

give the answer as a clue. That rule number six.
And on that note, with the one, yeah, let me
let me just I just want to go out. I

couldn't do it. This is gonna be my Lamar Jackson

just can't. The score right now is forty nine to ten. Uh,
Chris is going for the Lamar Jackson five yard record
even though the game is over. Chris Salty. Kevin Durant

I was a kid. Uh, Sonic Right, that is correct,
the final Scar Chris nineteen. Hold on explain that to
me though, because I was I thought you were just
throwing us up mouth Rob, I love that. Who I
(30:12):
grew up playing that? Yeah? They even had a movie.
Yeah they had a movie too with Jim Carrey. Why
didn't know that? I never even heard of that. Now
you're talking my language, Rob. But you know what, Rob,
you hear that? You hit that beautiful sound in the background.
I got my internet grew with me. Oh ah, it's
(30:32):
the I couple Fox Sports Radio keep it locked. I
won I think I'm moving to Mexico. Be sure to
catch live editions of The Odd Couple with Chris Brussar
then Rob Parker weekdays at seven pm Eastern four pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. Yo.
It has grown on me. I actually like it now.
(30:56):
He can't sing a lick though. I don't think he
can sing any better than me, not at all. No,
but I love him pouring out his heart to the Lord.
All right, we're the Eye Couple on the Worship Wednesday,
coming to you live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
As we wrap up a worship Wednesday, Rob, you want
(31:18):
to give an update on this game? Yeah, Justin Turner
just went deep to left field for the Dodgers offer
Adam Waynwright. It is now one to one in the
bottom of the fourth, So a good game playing out
so far. Dodgers finally get on the board and Chris,
I don't know if you saw this tweet from Shams
(31:39):
about the NBA sources. This is his tweet fourteen minutes
ago or so twenty minutes ago. NBA players will informed
unvaccinated players who breach quarantine in Toronto faced criminal offense.
Unvaccinated players only able to leave hotel for team activities.
Per Canada's Quarantine Act, Violators could lead up to six
(32:05):
months in prison or a seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in fins. Yeah, Toronto's Canada's not. They don't play.
Wow that that that's you. You remember the Blue Jays
played in in uh Buffalo, Chris, they couldn't even play
the Blue They remember that they wouldn't let the Blue
Jays play any home games. Yeah, remember that? And that
(32:29):
Toronto played where they playing Florida last year? Part they don't.
Canada not round with it exactly, So so that might
be another place he can't play orb Oh yeah, so
what they said, right, vaccinated? You said you have to
you have to be quarantine and so I don't understand, like,
like if you're unvaccinated to quarantine when you have to
stay in your room for a few days, I don't know.
(32:53):
It says players weren't formed. Unvaccinated players who breach quarantine
in Toronto? Coming on, But you said they said they
can't leave their room except for the team activities, right, wow? Wow? Okay?
All right? Rob? Well, um, this there was a big
move today by the Patriots. Uh. They sent shock waves
(33:17):
for a while throughout the NFL. They released Stefane Gilmore,
their best defensive player, and actually they ended up instead
they announced they were gonna release him, or they that
that story was leaked, and then they ended up trading
him to Carolina. Everybody know he's available, pick up the phone, right,
(33:39):
So they got like a six round pick. No big deal,
but I do think it was a big deal that
he went to Carolina for a few reasons. Rob One,
I thought, I mean, I said it on TV this morning.
Kansas City, which whose defense is atrocious, and Tampa Bay,
whose past defense has been atrocious, should have been breaking
(34:00):
down doors to get Safine Gilmore. And I thought, obviously,
right with Tom Brady there, you know, they played together
obviously in New England, that I thought he would have
They would have had to, you know, the advantage, and
I thought they were gonna get him, which would have
been huge for them, you know. But instead he goes
to Carolina. And what is in addition to it being
(34:24):
a big loss for Kansas City and Tampa Bay that
they couldn't get him. It's interesting because this was a
win now move Rob for the Carolina Panthers, and it
says a lot about what they think of Sam Darneld,
their quarterback. Who you know, and they're three and one.
Why should they give up and say like we don't
(34:44):
have something going or not feel good? What was it?
They beat the Saints and somebody else? Like two of
those wins were pretty good. What you say? They lost
to Dallas, they beat the Jets, obviously not a big one.
Now they they haven't really had any good wins. They
beat the Jets, they beat Houston, and they beat the Saints.
(35:04):
Saint that was the one and we and then the
Saints have really gone back with who they lose to
the Giants? Ye yes, yes, yes that's jams. Yeah, Jamis
isn't looking great. I will admit that they're not really
letting him on loose, letting him loose, you know, but
(35:26):
maybe they know something we don't. So, but what do
you think about Donald Rob? I think this is an
indictment on the Jets. I mean, this dude is thrown
for over three hundred yards in his last three games, right,
and what was this problem with the Jets. He'd do
it here and there, right, But he couldn't be consistent.
(35:47):
And now he's been consistent. He's not lighting the league
on fire. He's got five touchdowns, three picks, so let's
not go overboard. But he does like look like a
viable starter who can start on a good game. Right, No,
I agree, and and and that's not you know, after
the Jets, that's not what the feeling was. He looked awful.
(36:07):
But then again, we've seen it before, h and I
hate I know we bring it up a lot, but
with Jared golf under Fisher, Jeff Fisher looked terrible. Chris, Remember,
we just thought like he's a he's a bust, and
he went on to be an All Pro and and
play play real well and take a team to the
super Bowl and put up all these numbers and all
(36:29):
this other stuff. So sometimes you gotta be at the
right situation. But Sam Donald definitely looks way better than
he did when he was with the Jets in New York.
He just does. And just so you don't think we're
paling on the Jets, Zach Wilson did look good last game. Yeah,
he had a couple of big throws in that game.
And uh, I mean that's a bad loss. For Tennessee.
(36:53):
It just is uh, but it'll be it'll be interesting.
As I said earlier, Chris, with this game against Jacksonville,
I've coming off that loss. Oh yeah, they can't. I
can't imagine they lose to Jacksonville. That's what I'm That
might be the lock of the millennium. You hear me, Chris.
You might even have to take some shekels out of
your pocket. I don't know what the spread is, but
(37:15):
I feel real good that the Titans you're gonna beat
Jacksonville coming off this whole debacle. Yeah, I would agree
with you there. I would agree with you there. All right,
it is the odd couple. As I said wrapping up
