Speaker 1 (00:00):
Time to talk all things college football.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's just like the menu at Taco Time.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
You just can't get enough. You just can't get that.
Speaker 4 (00:07):
This is our weekly visit with Rick Neuheisel, brought to
you buy Taco Time.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Not those new Heidels. Used to be a moniker of mine.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I mean, just so you know.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's Natcho's
new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
R FM.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
This is college football and I want you to get
it all over yourself.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh yes, every week we get the chance to chat
with the coach. New Isel also joined us on Friday.
Another one of those like, oh Bucky's not there. Yeah,
I'll change my schedule around to be on with you. Yeah,
same thing, same same thing. Finds out I'm not here,
like I can't wait to come on now, so good
that I'm not doing Tuesday this week. I'll do Friday,
please please.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I thought coach and uh and and fifty both were
nice guys before they are they just don't like you.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Oh yeah, that doesn't make them back.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Probably means you're the right Tell them, coach.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Tell them, tell them, tell them, there's no bad people here.
Everybody's a big fan of everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, we all just get along, get along, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
All right, Well, it's good that we're all back together here.
And it's course this conversation brought to you by Taco time.
All right, so we got a lot of ground to
cover here. I got to ask you about what's the
big story this week in college football, and that's all
the coaching firings. As they stack up like firewood in
the corner, it's becoming very obvious that we are This
(01:37):
is another layer to this new world of college football
that we live in. And I wonder though, I mean,
eating fifty sixty million dollars at a time just because
the program's only good and not championship caliber. Is that
something that you saw coming? And is it something sustainable
going forward in this new world of college football?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The answer to both of those are no, this is ridiculous.
I mean, Brian Kelly was thirty three and fourteen at LSU.
I mean thirty three and fourteen is Hall of Fame credentials.
You only have to be sixty I guess fifty nine
point five percent as a winning coach to be a
Hall of Famer, or at least be considered as such
(02:23):
that that is confounding, to say the least, and to
give him fifty four million bucks to walk.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Out the door is incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We're we're over one hundred and fifty million dollars in
dead money in a world where every athletic director is
telling you how financially challenged they are, and we're doing
that that makes no sense. And I will tell you,
and I said this a million times, so you know
I'm telling you the truth that my one of my
(02:54):
favorite years of my entire coaching career was my last
at Washington when we were four and five and came
back and won the Northwest Championship and beat Oregon State,
beat Oregon at Oregon, and then beat Washington State at
Washington State when they were number three in the country.
To get that done and to get the team to
believe that, you know, how you deal with adversity. That's
(03:17):
part of the education that you're supposed to be getting
in college. Now we're giving an education that if you're
not doing every you know, winning championships, it's time to
quit and cancel Christmas. I don't get it. We've lost
our way and it's because we've given the pseudo owners,
those that we keep going to for more and more
(03:39):
in terms of resources and money, financial support. We've given
them all kinds of now ability to make the decisions.
And that's just it's scary, it's frightening, and it's nowhere
that I think we should be or want to be.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
But can this genie get put back in the bottle?
I mean, you're right, you just narrowed it down to
where all of a sudden you're giving more of a
voice to those that chip in because now you have
to pay these players. You need to pay them, and
so then it's well, if I'm paying, so you got
this guy and that guy, and look how much better
your team's supposed to be based on our nil log.
(04:19):
Then if you don't win at all, then that's not
good enough. We'll go ahead and boot you out the
door and hopefully bring somebody else in. I mean, can
you put this genie back in the bottle?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The answer probably is no. I don't know many genies
that want to go back in. But the bottom line
is we can grab a hold of this by just
dealing with the financial realities. People want to put their
head in the sand and say that you know this
paying the players thing. We can survive it. We're going
(04:52):
to put this artificial house settlement twenty point five. And
yet Benmo and Phones were going off the charts on
ju thirtieth because every team was paying their players a
sizeable amount of the money that they owed before that date,
so it didn't count against the twenty point five. So
we're always robbing Peter to pay Paul, and now this
(05:13):
next year we're going to be doing the same thing.
We have to come to grips that this is the
way it's supposed to be. We have an incredibly popular sport,
incredibly popular entertainment device, which are called college athletics for
the world, and what we need to do is figure
out what that brings in, give a percentage of that
(05:33):
to the players, which is called collective bargaining, and just
be done with it. And then if that creates parody,
so be it. But we do not need to keep
pushing this ball down the field or kicking it down
they can down the way, trying to avoid the economic realities.
And this chase for championships is becoming now an ownership
(05:58):
deal where people are buying stake in their respected teams
by putting the bill for this because there's no other
place for the money given that the rich don't want
to share. They just want it all to themselves. And
at the end of the day, it's gonna collapse.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It can't.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's not sustainable.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I think that's perfectly put your
two responses to our questions here this morning. And I
do wonder what the next contract looks like for the
next LSU head coach. I mean, do you really think
you're just going to sign a guy to a one
year deal because we don't have to pay fifty million
dollars again as a buyout. I mean, you're you're making
(06:34):
it very clear that it's championship or you're out. You're
either giving us a championship caliber team or you're not
going to be here anymore. Well, how can you just
keep giving multi year deals worth ten twelve million dollars
to head coaches and just keep stacking that pile? I mean,
it doesn't It not feasible at this point, coach. I
(06:56):
know we got other things to get to, but it's
just not feasible. Well, I'm very curious to see the
next contract of the next LSU head coach and what
it looks like, Well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That contract will be out of out of control crazy
if they go and get an established coach that already
has one of those contracts.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's that's where listen, you guys, remember Jake Dickert. Jake
Dickert got the job at Washington State because Nick Rolovitch
wouldn't take the vaccine right. Nick wouldn't take it, he
cited religious reasons, and Jake Dickert gets put in the job.
No one knew who Jake Dickert was other than a
(07:37):
few people who you know studying cougar defense. But all
of a sudden he's the head coach, and he does
a pretty dang good job, such to the fact that
when he gets an opportunity to go to Wake Forest,
given the situation that Washington State finds itself in without
necessarily a conference, he goes to Wake Forest and now
Wake Forest is doing great. They just beat SMU, the
(07:59):
first time SMU lost an ACC game since joining that league.
Jake Dickert would have taken any one year deal that
you would have given him. There are a ton of
Jake Dickert's out there. We just keep going because we
have to win a press conference, and we have to
impress people as to who our guy is and how
many games he's won. Lane Tiffen can call his number.
(08:21):
Lane Tiffin can go to Florida, he can go to LSU.
And he's on McAfee the other day saying I don't
care about money. But I can't say that because Jimmy,
Jimmy Sex and his agent gets all ticked off at him,
because Jimmy is not only making it for Lane, He's
making it for the other eleven guys that he represents
in the SEC. Because he's moving the chairs. He's like
(08:41):
a marionette. It's crazy what dance we're dancing because they
say he got to dance. There's plenty of coaches. We're
caught up in this world. There's only a few of
us that can figure out how to drop a ballplay
That just isn't the case.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Man, Are you worried it's gonna blow the whole thing up?
You're not that. You're not worried that will come to
our senses eventually.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
The game's too good. What is wonderful on Saturdays is
that even though there's money involved, the kids still play
their tails off. They love it. They can't get enough
of it. Now, we got to be the adults in
the room and figure out the financials so it's fair
and equitable. And I mean across the entire athletic department.
(09:25):
I'm not talking about any individual. I'm talking about the
entire athletic department. So college athlete athletics can still be
there and be sustainable for the long haul. So the kids,
the vast majority of them, ninety eight percent of them
not going on to play pro right, ninety eight percent,
can have a meaningful college athletic experience and be in
(09:47):
springboard mode to life after sport. That's what we need
to do. And for anybody else it's not happy with that,
I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, rig new Isiael is with us a segment every week,
brought to you by Taco Tim. I thought that was
a subject worthy of spending a lot of time on
here today, and we've done that. But I do got
to get to the other parts of college football that
we wanted to discuss with you, including you, dub. How
nice of a win was that for jet Fish in
the program over Illinois on Saturday, got.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Demon Williams going again. He's twenty six to thirty three
to eighty and he runs for sixty six. That's what
you have to do. The two teams that have beaten
Washington have held Demon Williams to minus rucking yards. His
legs open up the rest of the offense, and the
schedule sets up beautifully for him. You know they're going
(10:35):
to be favored in their next three games. The only
exception will be the finale against Oregon. But if they
can win the next three, they get to even if
the Oregon game doesn't go well, that's nine to three.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A bowl game.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Puts you into a ten and three ten win season.
That is progress, and anybody paying attention to Washington football
is going to start taking very close notice about wanting
to come to play at Motlay.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So how much credit do you give him just for that?
I mean, you're beating your first ranked opponent. Maybe it's
not a signature win that same way it would have
been to obviously shock the world against Ohio State or
beat Michigan at the Big House. But is it the
closest thing to a signature wining the Jeff Fish Air.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's a great win. The Michigan win last year was
a great win because of the brand that it represents
the listen, Jed's putting it together. But this quarterback is
special and if you can unlock him and mandate the
first thing you do in your game plan is how
am I getting his fifty two one hundred yards? Because
everything else comes up, play, action, pass and all of it.
(11:39):
If you just figure that out, you're going to have
a great chance to win every time you get out there.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Rick new isil joining us here on checking Buck on
the mornings as we talked from college football here today.
Well they're on by this week, so plenty of other
games to entertain us with, including Ohio State number one
taking on Penn State. This was supposed to be the
game of the year. How disappointing is it for you
and your CBS brethren to not have this be the
(12:07):
game of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It is unfortunate for all of those networks that paid
so much handsomely for the Big Ten deal. You know,
there's six teams in the Big Ten that are on buy,
including the Huskies, So Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington, Northwestern, Ucla, and
Oregon are all taking the weekend off. We get Indiana
(12:30):
at Maryland. Yeah, right, so listen, Maryland has been a
they're one in three in conference play. They've been ahead
and all three losses in the fourth quarter. So it's
not unthinkable. But the way Indiana's playing, it's hard to
muster a case. It's going to be that the Fernando
(12:50):
Mendoza story is a great one, as Signetti's story is
a great one. It's going to be a tall order
for the Terps to get that done.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
How good is Indian I mean, they are fantastic, are
they not?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They are? You know how when we get to college
basketball season, we always sit and listen to the analysts say, well,
this is a really old team and how that benefits
when you get to tournament time. This is a really
old team in the trenches, offensive, defensive lines. These are
twenty two, twenty three year old kids that all have
(13:26):
you know, built their bodies to a place where they
are dominant. They have played. They held Oregon, and we've
got Oregon as one of the top brands and teams
in the country. They held Oregon until the final little
you know, couple of throws down the field versus a
prevent deal to forty one yards in the second half.
Oregon scored one touchdown. UCLA had two field goals, two
(13:49):
field goals. Last week. Oregon had one touchdown and two
field goals in the game previous, the other touchdown coming
by a pick six. So this is no accident. This
is a really good team and Signetti is loving it.
He loves to break the will and remind everybody how
good they are. Got a fun to watch. Yah him,
(14:10):
just take the role of I told you so.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, So Indiana Maryland on CBS. Yeah, Fox has
the Ohio State Penn State game. I was just thinking,
you guys had big ten games, so forgive me for that.
But yeah, it's too bad for Fox because that was
supposed to be the game of the year and now, yeah,
now it seems like it's a dud. All right, there
are some other really good games this weekend. Vanderbilt continues
(14:34):
its role. Can they do it in Austin, Texas?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You know they can.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think the wrong team's favor here. I think Vanderbilt
should be the favorite. Texas was down seventeen in Starkville
last week and because of Jeff Levy just completely lost
his mind, the head coach at Mississippi State, and punted
to Ryan Niblett, who ran a punt back against Oklahoma
ran a punt back against Kentucky, and yet with a
(15:00):
seven point lead two minutes left in the game, he
punts to him and the guy goes seventy nine yards
for a touchdown, and so they go to overtime and
he loses, having squandered a seventeen point lead in the
second half. Stuff happens, but you can't let players who
have proven they can do it do it. So Vanderbilt
comes in with this Diego Pavia kid that is incredible,
(15:24):
and I just think that because of the way their
defense and offense are complementary and the lack of Texas
being able to establish a running game, I think the
Commodores are going to.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Win Oklahoma Tennessee. I mean, we can start labeling these things.
This is like losers out of the tournament. That's where
we're at at this point in the season.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Now that we have got the playoff games, Yeah, that's
the playoff game, no question about it. I think Miami
and SMU. SMU's got three losses, but they could still
win the ACC because they've only got.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The one loss.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The Miami SMU games definitely playoff game. Cincinnati in Utah
is a great game.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
This week.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think USC Nebraska. The Trojans have to win in
Lincoln if they're going to keep their hopes alive. So
there's a number of good games. Texas Tech is on
upset alert. They go to Kansas State. Kansas State has
won the last two, Avery Johnson looking like a player,
and Texas Tech is without their backup quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So Baron Morton's.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Starter, who's a little nicked up, He's going to have
to play, but he's got to stay healthy.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nice call with the Koogs with your Taco Time pick
of the week last week. So you're on a roll.
Where are you going this week?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
We're going with Bandy No points needed, give me the Commodoores.
My guy Clark Lee Diego Pavia strikes the pose again
in longhorn Land.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, I'd like to think that Clark Lee's completely focused
on Texas, but my guess is he got a thousand
calls from fifteen different coaching vacancies this week.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Did you see after the game that Jimmy Sexton was
over there giving him the big bear?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Huh yeah, yeah, of course he's there sniffing around exactly
all right, coach, Well, we fired through a lot great
stuff this morning. We appreciate it, and we will talk
to you again next week.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Don't lose heart. And college football still the best game
on the planet. It'll it'll pick it, We'll get it fixed.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The product's phenomenal. I mean, I probably enjoyed the last
three years of college football more than I have at
any point in my life, despite all of this chaos,
all of that is going on around us.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yep, we'll, we'll, we'll just forced these guys into a
room and make them understand that you can't screw up
the greatest game on the planet.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Thank you, coach, appreciate you guys. All right right now,
Heizel joining us right here on Chuck and Buckets segment
every week, brought to you by Taco Time.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
A lot to discuss, a lot to do. There was
a lot more left on that boom too. All right,
the old judge is going to stop by next that's right,
We've got some thing to discuss in his courtroom. Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M, show
some respect.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I am the one hundred and eighth Yeah with my name.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yes goes all the way back to biblical times.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I really the opposite that you'd be really old. But no,
that makes he really young.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, he's the youngest.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
He's the baby, yeah, yeah, baby, the baby of the
Cornelia's buck holes.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yes, or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Cornelias, they're the youngest of the buck holes.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
All right, yeah, it's right, shinyny.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, here's how this works. I'm going to bring
up a topic Ashley and I discuss it. When Judge
the old judge is hurt enough, he'll smack his gavel.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Gavel, gavel gavel.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He will interrupt this, and then he will weigh in
and whatever the old judge says goes.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Wen't have an argument. We just got to take that
home with us, sit with it, all right, So here
we go. I'm not jealous of the Dodgers because they're
world champs. I'm jealous because they have show hay.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Oh, I mean I would love to have Showy. That
does make me jealous, although I don't. I think there's
just a lot of reasons I'm jealous of the Dodgers.
I don't think it's just show hey. I think it's
they're just really really good and world series expectations for
them are yearly.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I would like to be that way.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I believe we're going to be world champs someday, and
I think we're going to and we're gonna celebrate it wildly,
there's no doubt about it. But right now, I'm not
jealous that they're world champs because I think we're on
the right path. I think we will get there. But
I am jealous because they have show Hey. Number one,
he was we flirted with him twice, one significantly, and
(19:37):
then he's two, he's so damn great. And then number three,
I mean, he is a recruiter. He's the greatest recruiter
in baseball. And if you think that they're done getting
the best Japanese ballplayers to come to Los Angeles, Max Mounts,
he's a free agent. They haven't signed him. They're going
to get one of these third basemen that are going
to hit the free agent market as well. So, I mean,
(19:58):
it's just what they got with show Hey was a
lot more than just the name show Cavel, Gavel, Gavel,
Gavel Gavel.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I'm irritated, and that makes me jealous. It's coming from jealousy,
and yet it's, I guess, to some degree, kind of
what Ash is saying. It's the biggest the thing I'm
most jealous about is Otani just because of all the factors. One,
I would just love for him to be in America
uniform and be able to watch that. And I mean,
(20:27):
but even more so, it's the what it means that
he chose them over choosing us, whether or not we
were really in that or not, whether or not we
even came close to a number or it work the.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
First time, we weren't the second.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah, So I mean it's I'm jealous of the fact
that we're not even capable of playing in that playground.
I mean, but that's just the nature of the beast.
Whether people want to be irritated about the ownership and
their lack of spending at times, which is that's just factual.
There's nobody that should think, well, we should be like
the Dodgers. Dodgers are just bigger. They're they're they're the
(21:04):
the gold standard. I mean, most people think it's the Yankees,
it's the it's the Dodgers first, the Yankees or second
when it comes to who who's the boss, who makes
the decisions, who's gonna they're gonna kind of set the
standard for what things are. And I'm jealous that they
basically have a group of people, Magic and everybody else
that's in that ownership group.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's just like, we.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
We're okay with somehow deferring seven hundred million dollars because
we just know that when we just win championship and
then more championships and are constantly in this uh, this
window that they're in right now where it's it kind
of feels like must see TV around the world. People
are like, I love watching the Dodgers, watch Otani, watch
the rest of that crew. Then you find yourself in this,
(21:47):
it's probably going to work. Whatever business decision they've made
to kick the can down the road and defer all
these payments, it's probably going to work because whenever they
want to sell, it's gonna be like, all right, how's
fifteen billion dollars sound okay, Yeah, we can pay show
hey off now.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, after what we watched last night, the Commanders can't
beat the Seahawks without Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
I do not think that the Commanders can beat the
Seahawks without Jaden Daniels. I just don't think that Mariota
is a strong enough quarterback. I don't think offensively they're
strong enough in general, if they're not being led.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
By somebody who took us all by surprise last year.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We tend to.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Talk in absolutes in sports talk radio, and we probably
never should. I love that line that's in that new
Ford ad. Whether you think you can or think you can't,
you're right, Yeah, love that line. So certainly they can,
but I don't believe that they will. I don't believe
that without Jade and Daniels the Commanders beat the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Gavel, Gavel, Gavel, I am.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I don't think they beat him with him, but I
certainly don't think they beat him with them.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Well, speaking in absolutes part is where obviously I just can't.
I can't stand it. They can't beat Oh, yes they
can now if we just do. I don't think if
there's if they're minus Jayden Daniels, I don't think the
Seahawks have to go out there and play their best game.
But Sam Donold can't go have his worst game of
the season. I think you're gonna win. You can't go
(23:11):
out not be able to run the ball and cough
it up a couple of times or throw it to
the other team. You can't allow that. Uh, that what's
a Crockett they're running back Krosky. Yes, you can't let
him break a bunch of big runs. You got to
keep doing what you're doing. I think they just have
to take care of their business. If they're if it's
(23:32):
Marcus Mariota, you just do what you do, take care
of the ball, and you Yeah, you come out of
that game victorious.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
All right, the next one. I'm sorry, but during any
soccer match shootout, you have to make at least three
or five.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Yes, there's no excuse. The advantage is in your favor.
The goalie is at a disadvantage. There's no way you should.
I mean, every once in a while, yes, you're gonna
guess wrong the goal, he's gonna guess right, and he's
gonna block it. You should never hit the post and
miss the goal entirely, like inexcusable.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
It's hard for me to believe that you can miss
when you are in the MLS three out of five
shootout shots. So uh yeah, I just I can't live
with that one.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Gavel gabble gavel. So as a former goalie, I can
just tell oh, like this they position drop well yeah yeah,
well yeah, yeah, super raggadocious about my soccer game. I'll
just tell you that flat out, it was very rare
that you can stop one if a guy just can
(24:38):
put it on the ground over in the corner. If
you go top shelf over in the corner, no goalie
can get it because you can't. You're not supposed to
leave the goal line until they've kicked the ball. Yeah,
what so if you abide by the rules, so you cheat,
and most goalies do try to cheat, and then if
they actually make some magnificent block, the ref might be like,
(24:59):
you cheated, you left too early. So if you if
it's all done by the rules, all you have to
do is put it near the post, not I'm talking
like within like two feet with velocity, and they're not
going to get it, whether they guess right or not.
So yes, you have to put it on goal. If
the guy makes a spectacular save or cheats and it
doesn't get called, then okay.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
But that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But that's one time of the five.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah, to make two out of five, you don't deserve
to win.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Did you see the one turn from Minnesota who It's
as simple as could be. There's a little white spot,
and you put the ball on the white spot, and
they probably will allow you to as long as it's
touching the white spot. But he tried to gain every
advantage he could, and he put it just before the
white spot. The official really have to come over and say,
you know, it's the white spot. Put it on the
(25:45):
effing white spot. And even then he was trying to
like get a quarter inch advantage now in a kick
that you should make nine out of ten times.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, that's the mind games part of it.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
They did it to us too, like they would come
out and be like their goal is, like, hey, what
are you doing? That's past then, and then he would
tell him, hey, make sure it's touching that white thing there.
And then all of a sudden, sure enough got in
our guy's head and he kids crossbar last one.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Now that Aaron Levine is a Jeopardy champ, he will
likely never speak to us again.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh yeah, I'm glad we got him yesterday before we
knew he won.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, because he's he was an arrogant, ticking time bomb.
He's just now that he's now that that wick has
been lit, he's just he'll never see.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Gabbled Gavel gavel.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Well, I'll say this if if the arrogance does begin
to run over, if you will. It hasn't hit him
yet because I've already texted with him. I told him
yesterday I know soccer goalie.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah, now you text with it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I actual scored a goal as a goalie one time
in soccer. Pretty amazing. Put that in your bromo.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
But I do. I've already texted with him today.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
They're having a little watch party because now that he's
won and everybody knows he won, he'll be on there
again tonight. Seventh He's on again, right in the middle
of the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
He sure played it off yesterday like he didn't fare
so well. I was convinced that we were all convinced
that in our meeting yesterday it must not have gone
very well. That a little snake and.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, yeah he won.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
I like that wan Jeopardy, I said before he went
on the air, I said, you are like the smartest
person I know. I can't wait to watch, and he
said exactly to me. Well, unfortunately they put a lot
of really smart people on that show.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I played you, oh yeah, and then I didn't even watch.
I mean, of all nights for the World Series ago
eighteen innings. Sorry Aaron watching.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I DVR did I was going to watch it today.
Spoiler alert, I'm still going to watch.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I just did well.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, I didn't watch it until then all of a sudden,
the football game's over.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
The soccer match.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Was over, and then it was like, okay, in between innings,
go see him, and he was he's really smart. Yeah,
he got a lot of stuff. I mean, I got
four right out of the total? How many is there
for questions? I got four? Is that I don't think
I would have won.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, we're gonna have him play beat Bucky. If he
thinks he's gonna have the same luck and beat Bucky,
he's out of his mind.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Say those easy questions. You get there Martha's vineyard. Everybody
knows that.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What is third place?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
You won't even get a sight.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Where does Aaron finish and beat Bucky?
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, all right, one last thing next Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r f M. All right, one
last thing beforehand, things over to Chris Kidd and Mark
(28:46):
James in the midday.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
What do you got over there?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Bucky?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
The uh?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It was oh the you guys, I'm sure talked about
the whole gambling thing that went down the did you
mentioned it?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
It wasn't a very big story.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It does make me.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I have one buddy that thinks every single sporting event
is rigged.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And yet he watches sports.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
He's moving away from it because he's not much in
a conspiracy theorist dink. But I think, yeah, close, yeah,
we're super tight. But I just don't. I mean, I
think that there's a negative side, obviously to the gambling world,
and obviously it's trickling its way in. But I just
(29:35):
think the idea of the whole thing's fixed. Everything is fixed.
I saw a couple of people talking about, well, this
is what MLB wanted, is the Dodgers. I'm like, I
don't think that this is any of this rigged. If
you watched that game last night, it did not look
rigged in the slightest to me. It just felt like
the absolutely, yeah, yeah, good luck trying to get you
(29:56):
know what.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It ended up being fifty.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Guys or something that went out there and did a
choreograph dance for eighteen hours and then hey, thanks.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
By the way for hitting that one out of the park. Freddy.
That was what a crescendo that was to wait eighteen
eges for that. I don't know, just was my way.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
I wasn't here, and when I'm sure you guys talked
about that, and yet I had friends.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Talking about during our parties that we threw both days.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh, you had parties a lot of it.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Actually, bo Nicks came up to hang out.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Yeah. I wouldn't normally like you, but if you want
to come hang out while Bucky's out, yeah, Oh that's weird.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
They would want to be here if I wasn't here.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
He didn't even want to be on the air. He
just wanted to hang out and stare at us. Oh
that makes no sense, feel inspired?
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Okay, all right, so we talked about it then, Oh okay,
well I'm glad that you guys talked about it, and
I understood that you guys would have.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I just think that it's really weird to me.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
How now you get you see some people getting caught
and the next step for some people's Yep, they're all rigged.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Everybody's in on it.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I don't know why you would watch sports if you
thought any of it was real.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
It would be the most agg evading thing to ever
put yourself through.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, I mean certainly understanding that there are some malevolent elements,
yeah out there, certainly. But no, I don't know how
you could even watch sports or listen to sports talk
radio if you thought the slightest percentage of it rig No,
don't even get that.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I don't either, Ashley.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
What's your one last thing?
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Well, we're all adults here in this office, right, like
this is an actual well, like.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
One of the three of us is.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Well, I'm saying the whole office right like it's in
the office of.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Older people, aged people. Right, We're not children.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
We can we should be able to decide how much
water we would like on our hands and when we
would like it, and how much soap we would like
on our hands, and how many paper towels we would
like to use to dry our hands, dependent on size
of set hands.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
They do restrict us. Why, Yeah, Like I get it,
and you can get more.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Yeah, but first of all, in the women's bathroom, you
just have to keep putting your hands under both of
them fifty times before the first dollop of soap comes out,
and by then the water's turned off.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Men's isn't any better.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Yeah, see how I just hit my SLP. I mean,
we are I get it in.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
A public restroom right where you want to limit so
you're not having to make them clean up a mess
or whatever is happening there. In an office where we're
supposed to all be responsible humans. I think we should
be allowed to be responsible for how much water, soap,
and paper towels we need and when we need them.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I think I've told you this before, but my high
school principal my senior year, he took over and he
was really going to be He's really going to crack
down on everybody. And so there was one fight, like
two kids, two jerks got in a fight with the
soap in the bathroom, and so he said, that's it,
no more soap. Oh he got showed you. He banned
soap for almost an entire school year.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
What an idiot.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That's the last thing if I was a high school
principle that I would ban.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, I'd be like extra soap for everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
My one last thing. We were talking a little bit
earlier about the greatness of Show Hey, and I mentioned that,
you know, we can't forget Babe Ruth, even though I
do think show has passed him. And we also can't
forget Barry Bonds either, and what he did in hitting.
Ricky Anderson is considered like the greatest on base machine
(33:20):
in baseball history, right, the lead off hitter, the game's
greatest lead off hitter of all time. He had a
four to oh one career on base percentage. His best season,
he had a four to thirty nine on base percentage.
That's his best year, four to thirty nine. Pretty impressive, right.
Barry Bonds had a six to zho nine on base
percentage in two thousand and four. He was on base
(33:41):
sixty one percent of the time. Yeah, sixty one percent
of the time major League Baseball while being care people
being careful with him, sixty one percent.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
There's never been anybody, including Babe Ruth, I think that
was more on it than Barry Bonds was for that
little spurt of time. Oh that he I mean, it
was just figured. Yeah, he was as close to perfecting
as you can get. I mean, showyo, Tony is not
even the best hitter in the game right now, right, true,
but nobody's that is in that conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Also shoves it on the mound.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
True, Yeah, he's the best I've ever seen fifty to fifty.
All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow. MJ and Kid
next on Kjall.

Time to talk all things college football.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's just like the menu at Taco Time.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
You just can't get enough. You just can't get that.
Speaker 4 (00:07):
This is our weekly visit with Rick Neuheisel, brought to
you buy Taco Time.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Not those new Heidels. Used to be a moniker of mine.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I mean, just so you know.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Now on your home for college football Saturdays, here's Natcho's
new Heidel on Sports Radio ninety three point three kJ
R FM.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
This is college football and I want you to get
it all over yourself.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh yes, every week we get the chance to chat
with the coach. New Isel also joined us on Friday.
Another one of those like, oh Bucky's not there. Yeah,
I'll change my schedule around to be on with you. Yeah,
same thing, same same thing. Finds out I'm not here,
like I can't wait to come on now, so good
that I'm not doing Tuesday this week. I'll do Friday,
please please.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
I thought coach and uh and and fifty both were
nice guys before they are they just don't like you.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Oh yeah, that doesn't make them back.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Probably means you're the right Tell them, coach.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Tell them, tell them, tell them, there's no bad people here.
Everybody's a big fan of everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, we all just get along, get along, thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
All right, Well, it's good that we're all back together here.
And it's course this conversation brought to you by Taco time.
All right, so we got a lot of ground to
cover here. I got to ask you about what's the
big story this week in college football, and that's all
the coaching firings. As they stack up like firewood in
the corner, it's becoming very obvious that we are This
(01:37):
is another layer to this new world of college football
that we live in. And I wonder though, I mean,
eating fifty sixty million dollars at a time just because
the program's only good and not championship caliber. Is that
something that you saw coming? And is it something sustainable
going forward in this new world of college football?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
The answer to both of those are no, this is ridiculous.
I mean, Brian Kelly was thirty three and fourteen at LSU.
I mean thirty three and fourteen is Hall of Fame credentials.
You only have to be sixty I guess fifty nine
point five percent as a winning coach to be a
Hall of Famer, or at least be considered as such
(02:23):
that that is confounding, to say the least, and to
give him fifty four million bucks to walk.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Out the door is incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We're we're over one hundred and fifty million dollars in
dead money in a world where every athletic director is
telling you how financially challenged they are, and we're doing
that that makes no sense. And I will tell you,
and I said this a million times, so you know
I'm telling you the truth that my one of my
(02:54):
favorite years of my entire coaching career was my last
at Washington when we were four and five and came
back and won the Northwest Championship and beat Oregon State,
beat Oregon at Oregon, and then beat Washington State at
Washington State when they were number three in the country.
To get that done and to get the team to
believe that, you know, how you deal with adversity. That's
(03:17):
part of the education that you're supposed to be getting
in college. Now we're giving an education that if you're
not doing every you know, winning championships, it's time to
quit and cancel Christmas. I don't get it. We've lost
our way and it's because we've given the pseudo owners,
those that we keep going to for more and more
(03:39):
in terms of resources and money, financial support. We've given
them all kinds of now ability to make the decisions.
And that's just it's scary, it's frightening, and it's nowhere
that I think we should be or want to be.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
But can this genie get put back in the bottle?
I mean, you're right, you just narrowed it down to
where all of a sudden you're giving more of a
voice to those that chip in because now you have
to pay these players. You need to pay them, and
so then it's well, if I'm paying, so you got
this guy and that guy, and look how much better
your team's supposed to be based on our nil log.
(04:19):
Then if you don't win at all, then that's not
good enough. We'll go ahead and boot you out the
door and hopefully bring somebody else in. I mean, can
you put this genie back in the bottle?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
The answer probably is no. I don't know many genies
that want to go back in. But the bottom line
is we can grab a hold of this by just
dealing with the financial realities. People want to put their
head in the sand and say that you know this
paying the players thing. We can survive it. We're going
(04:52):
to put this artificial house settlement twenty point five. And
yet Benmo and Phones were going off the charts on
ju thirtieth because every team was paying their players a
sizeable amount of the money that they owed before that date,
so it didn't count against the twenty point five. So
we're always robbing Peter to pay Paul, and now this
(05:13):
next year we're going to be doing the same thing.
We have to come to grips that this is the
way it's supposed to be. We have an incredibly popular sport,
incredibly popular entertainment device, which are called college athletics for
the world, and what we need to do is figure
out what that brings in, give a percentage of that
(05:33):
to the players, which is called collective bargaining, and just
be done with it. And then if that creates parody,
so be it. But we do not need to keep
pushing this ball down the field or kicking it down
they can down the way, trying to avoid the economic realities.
And this chase for championships is becoming now an ownership
(05:58):
deal where people are buying stake in their respected teams
by putting the bill for this because there's no other
place for the money given that the rich don't want
to share. They just want it all to themselves. And
at the end of the day, it's gonna collapse.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It can't.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's not sustainable.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I think that's perfectly put your
two responses to our questions here this morning. And I
do wonder what the next contract looks like for the
next LSU head coach. I mean, do you really think
you're just going to sign a guy to a one
year deal because we don't have to pay fifty million
dollars again as a buyout. I mean, you're you're making
(06:34):
it very clear that it's championship or you're out. You're
either giving us a championship caliber team or you're not
going to be here anymore. Well, how can you just
keep giving multi year deals worth ten twelve million dollars
to head coaches and just keep stacking that pile? I mean,
it doesn't It not feasible at this point, coach. I
(06:56):
know we got other things to get to, but it's
just not feasible. Well, I'm very curious to see the
next contract of the next LSU head coach and what
it looks like, Well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That contract will be out of out of control crazy
if they go and get an established coach that already
has one of those contracts.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's that's where listen, you guys, remember Jake Dickert. Jake
Dickert got the job at Washington State because Nick Rolovitch
wouldn't take the vaccine right. Nick wouldn't take it, he
cited religious reasons, and Jake Dickert gets put in the job.
No one knew who Jake Dickert was other than a
(07:37):
few people who you know studying cougar defense. But all
of a sudden he's the head coach, and he does
a pretty dang good job, such to the fact that
when he gets an opportunity to go to Wake Forest,
given the situation that Washington State finds itself in without
necessarily a conference, he goes to Wake Forest and now
Wake Forest is doing great. They just beat SMU, the
(07:59):
first time SMU lost an ACC game since joining that league.
Jake Dickert would have taken any one year deal that
you would have given him. There are a ton of
Jake Dickert's out there. We just keep going because we
have to win a press conference, and we have to
impress people as to who our guy is and how
many games he's won. Lane Tiffen can call his number.
(08:21):
Lane Tiffin can go to Florida, he can go to LSU.
And he's on McAfee the other day saying I don't
care about money. But I can't say that because Jimmy,
Jimmy Sex and his agent gets all ticked off at him,
because Jimmy is not only making it for Lane, He's
making it for the other eleven guys that he represents
in the SEC. Because he's moving the chairs. He's like
(08:41):
a marionette. It's crazy what dance we're dancing because they
say he got to dance. There's plenty of coaches. We're
caught up in this world. There's only a few of
us that can figure out how to drop a ballplay
That just isn't the case.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Man, Are you worried it's gonna blow the whole thing up?
You're not that. You're not worried that will come to
our senses eventually.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
The game's too good. What is wonderful on Saturdays is
that even though there's money involved, the kids still play
their tails off. They love it. They can't get enough
of it. Now, we got to be the adults in
the room and figure out the financials so it's fair
and equitable. And I mean across the entire athletic department.
(09:25):
I'm not talking about any individual. I'm talking about the
entire athletic department. So college athlete athletics can still be
there and be sustainable for the long haul. So the kids,
the vast majority of them, ninety eight percent of them
not going on to play pro right, ninety eight percent,
can have a meaningful college athletic experience and be in
(09:47):
springboard mode to life after sport. That's what we need
to do. And for anybody else it's not happy with that,
I can't help you.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, rig new Isiael is with us a segment every week,
brought to you by Taco Tim. I thought that was
a subject worthy of spending a lot of time on
here today, and we've done that. But I do got
to get to the other parts of college football that
we wanted to discuss with you, including you, dub. How
nice of a win was that for jet Fish in
the program over Illinois on Saturday, got.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Demon Williams going again. He's twenty six to thirty three
to eighty and he runs for sixty six. That's what
you have to do. The two teams that have beaten
Washington have held Demon Williams to minus rucking yards. His
legs open up the rest of the offense, and the
schedule sets up beautifully for him. You know they're going
(10:35):
to be favored in their next three games. The only
exception will be the finale against Oregon. But if they
can win the next three, they get to even if
the Oregon game doesn't go well, that's nine to three.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A bowl game.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Puts you into a ten and three ten win season.
That is progress, and anybody paying attention to Washington football
is going to start taking very close notice about wanting
to come to play at Motlay.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
So how much credit do you give him just for that?
I mean, you're beating your first ranked opponent. Maybe it's
not a signature win that same way it would have
been to obviously shock the world against Ohio State or
beat Michigan at the Big House. But is it the
closest thing to a signature wining the Jeff Fish Air.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
It's a great win. The Michigan win last year was
a great win because of the brand that it represents
the listen, Jed's putting it together. But this quarterback is
special and if you can unlock him and mandate the
first thing you do in your game plan is how
am I getting his fifty two one hundred yards? Because
everything else comes up, play, action, pass and all of it.
(11:39):
If you just figure that out, you're going to have
a great chance to win every time you get out there.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Rick new isil joining us here on checking Buck on
the mornings as we talked from college football here today.
Well they're on by this week, so plenty of other
games to entertain us with, including Ohio State number one
taking on Penn State. This was supposed to be the
game of the year. How disappointing is it for you
and your CBS brethren to not have this be the
(12:07):
game of the year.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It is unfortunate for all of those networks that paid
so much handsomely for the Big Ten deal. You know,
there's six teams in the Big Ten that are on buy,
including the Huskies, So Iowa, Wisconsin, Washington, Northwestern, Ucla, and
Oregon are all taking the weekend off. We get Indiana
(12:30):
at Maryland. Yeah, right, so listen, Maryland has been a
they're one in three in conference play. They've been ahead
and all three losses in the fourth quarter. So it's
not unthinkable. But the way Indiana's playing, it's hard to
muster a case. It's going to be that the Fernando
(12:50):
Mendoza story is a great one, as Signetti's story is
a great one. It's going to be a tall order
for the Terps to get that done.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
How good is Indian I mean, they are fantastic, are
they not?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
They are? You know how when we get to college
basketball season, we always sit and listen to the analysts say, well,
this is a really old team and how that benefits
when you get to tournament time. This is a really
old team in the trenches, offensive, defensive lines. These are
twenty two, twenty three year old kids that all have
(13:26):
you know, built their bodies to a place where they
are dominant. They have played. They held Oregon, and we've
got Oregon as one of the top brands and teams
in the country. They held Oregon until the final little
you know, couple of throws down the field versus a
prevent deal to forty one yards in the second half.
Oregon scored one touchdown. UCLA had two field goals, two
(13:49):
field goals. Last week. Oregon had one touchdown and two
field goals in the game previous, the other touchdown coming
by a pick six. So this is no accident. This
is a really good team and Signetti is loving it.
He loves to break the will and remind everybody how
good they are. Got a fun to watch. Yah him,
(14:10):
just take the role of I told you so.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
All right, So Indiana Maryland on CBS. Yeah, Fox has
the Ohio State Penn State game. I was just thinking,
you guys had big ten games, so forgive me for that.
But yeah, it's too bad for Fox because that was
supposed to be the game of the year and now, yeah,
now it seems like it's a dud. All right, there
are some other really good games this weekend. Vanderbilt continues
(14:34):
its role. Can they do it in Austin, Texas?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
You know they can.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think the wrong team's favor here. I think Vanderbilt
should be the favorite. Texas was down seventeen in Starkville
last week and because of Jeff Levy just completely lost
his mind, the head coach at Mississippi State, and punted
to Ryan Niblett, who ran a punt back against Oklahoma
ran a punt back against Kentucky, and yet with a
(15:00):
seven point lead two minutes left in the game, he
punts to him and the guy goes seventy nine yards
for a touchdown, and so they go to overtime and
he loses, having squandered a seventeen point lead in the
second half. Stuff happens, but you can't let players who
have proven they can do it do it. So Vanderbilt
comes in with this Diego Pavia kid that is incredible,
(15:24):
and I just think that because of the way their
defense and offense are complementary and the lack of Texas
being able to establish a running game, I think the
Commodores are going to.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Win Oklahoma Tennessee. I mean, we can start labeling these things.
This is like losers out of the tournament. That's where
we're at at this point in the season.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Now that we have got the playoff games, Yeah, that's
the playoff game, no question about it. I think Miami
and SMU. SMU's got three losses, but they could still
win the ACC because they've only got.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
The one loss.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
The Miami SMU games definitely playoff game. Cincinnati in Utah
is a great game.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
This week.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I think USC Nebraska. The Trojans have to win in
Lincoln if they're going to keep their hopes alive. So
there's a number of good games. Texas Tech is on
upset alert. They go to Kansas State. Kansas State has
won the last two, Avery Johnson looking like a player,
and Texas Tech is without their backup quarterback.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So Baron Morton's.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Starter, who's a little nicked up, He's going to have
to play, but he's got to stay healthy.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Nice call with the Koogs with your Taco Time pick
of the week last week. So you're on a roll.
Where are you going this week?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
We're going with Bandy No points needed, give me the Commodoores.
My guy Clark Lee Diego Pavia strikes the pose again
in longhorn Land.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Well, I'd like to think that Clark Lee's completely focused
on Texas, but my guess is he got a thousand
calls from fifteen different coaching vacancies this week.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Did you see after the game that Jimmy Sexton was
over there giving him the big bear?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Huh yeah, yeah, of course he's there sniffing around exactly
all right, coach, Well, we fired through a lot great
stuff this morning. We appreciate it, and we will talk
to you again next week.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Don't lose heart. And college football still the best game
on the planet. It'll it'll pick it, We'll get it fixed.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The product's phenomenal. I mean, I probably enjoyed the last
three years of college football more than I have at
any point in my life, despite all of this chaos,
all of that is going on around us.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yep, we'll, we'll, we'll just forced these guys into a
room and make them understand that you can't screw up
the greatest game on the planet.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Thank you, coach, appreciate you guys. All right right now,
Heizel joining us right here on Chuck and Buckets segment
every week, brought to you by Taco Time.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
A lot to discuss, a lot to do. There was
a lot more left on that boom too. All right,
the old judge is going to stop by next that's right,
We've got some thing to discuss in his courtroom. Sports
Radio ninety three point three kJ R f M, show
some respect.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I am the one hundred and eighth Yeah with my name.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yes goes all the way back to biblical times.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I really the opposite that you'd be really old. But no,
that makes he really young.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, he's the youngest.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
He's the baby, yeah, yeah, baby, the baby of the
Cornelia's buck holes.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yes, or something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Cornelias, they're the youngest of the buck holes.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
All right, yeah, it's right, shinyny.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, here's how this works. I'm going to bring
up a topic Ashley and I discuss it. When Judge
the old judge is hurt enough, he'll smack his gavel.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Gavel, gavel gavel.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
He will interrupt this, and then he will weigh in
and whatever the old judge says goes.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Wen't have an argument. We just got to take that
home with us, sit with it, all right, So here
we go. I'm not jealous of the Dodgers because they're
world champs. I'm jealous because they have show hay.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Oh, I mean I would love to have Showy. That
does make me jealous, although I don't. I think there's
just a lot of reasons I'm jealous of the Dodgers.
I don't think it's just show hey. I think it's
they're just really really good and world series expectations for
them are yearly.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I would like to be that way.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I believe we're going to be world champs someday, and
I think we're going to and we're gonna celebrate it wildly,
there's no doubt about it. But right now, I'm not
jealous that they're world champs because I think we're on
the right path. I think we will get there. But
I am jealous because they have show Hey. Number one,
he was we flirted with him twice, one significantly, and
(19:37):
then he's two, he's so damn great. And then number three,
I mean, he is a recruiter. He's the greatest recruiter
in baseball. And if you think that they're done getting
the best Japanese ballplayers to come to Los Angeles, Max Mounts,
he's a free agent. They haven't signed him. They're going
to get one of these third basemen that are going
to hit the free agent market as well. So, I mean,
(19:58):
it's just what they got with show Hey was a
lot more than just the name show Cavel, Gavel, Gavel,
Gavel Gavel.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I'm irritated, and that makes me jealous. It's coming from jealousy,
and yet it's, I guess, to some degree, kind of
what Ash is saying. It's the biggest the thing I'm
most jealous about is Otani just because of all the factors. One,
I would just love for him to be in America
uniform and be able to watch that. And I mean,
(20:27):
but even more so, it's the what it means that
he chose them over choosing us, whether or not we
were really in that or not, whether or not we
even came close to a number or it work the.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
First time, we weren't the second.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah, So I mean it's I'm jealous of the fact
that we're not even capable of playing in that playground.
I mean, but that's just the nature of the beast.
Whether people want to be irritated about the ownership and
their lack of spending at times, which is that's just factual.
There's nobody that should think, well, we should be like
the Dodgers. Dodgers are just bigger. They're they're they're the
(21:04):
the gold standard. I mean, most people think it's the Yankees,
it's the it's the Dodgers first, the Yankees or second
when it comes to who who's the boss, who makes
the decisions, who's gonna they're gonna kind of set the
standard for what things are. And I'm jealous that they
basically have a group of people, Magic and everybody else
that's in that ownership group.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It's just like, we.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
We're okay with somehow deferring seven hundred million dollars because
we just know that when we just win championship and
then more championships and are constantly in this uh, this
window that they're in right now where it's it kind
of feels like must see TV around the world. People
are like, I love watching the Dodgers, watch Otani, watch
the rest of that crew. Then you find yourself in this,
(21:47):
it's probably going to work. Whatever business decision they've made
to kick the can down the road and defer all
these payments, it's probably going to work because whenever they
want to sell, it's gonna be like, all right, how's
fifteen billion dollars sound okay, Yeah, we can pay show
hey off now.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, after what we watched last night, the Commanders can't
beat the Seahawks without Jade and Daniels.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
I do not think that the Commanders can beat the
Seahawks without Jaden Daniels. I just don't think that Mariota
is a strong enough quarterback. I don't think offensively they're
strong enough in general, if they're not being led.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
By somebody who took us all by surprise last year.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We tend to.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Talk in absolutes in sports talk radio, and we probably
never should. I love that line that's in that new
Ford ad. Whether you think you can or think you can't,
you're right, Yeah, love that line. So certainly they can,
but I don't believe that they will. I don't believe
that without Jade and Daniels the Commanders beat the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Gavel, Gavel, Gavel, I am.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I don't think they beat him with him, but I
certainly don't think they beat him with them.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Well, speaking in absolutes part is where obviously I just can't.
I can't stand it. They can't beat Oh, yes they
can now if we just do. I don't think if
there's if they're minus Jayden Daniels, I don't think the
Seahawks have to go out there and play their best game.
But Sam Donold can't go have his worst game of
the season. I think you're gonna win. You can't go
(23:11):
out not be able to run the ball and cough
it up a couple of times or throw it to
the other team. You can't allow that. Uh, that what's
a Crockett they're running back Krosky. Yes, you can't let
him break a bunch of big runs. You got to
keep doing what you're doing. I think they just have
to take care of their business. If they're if it's
(23:32):
Marcus Mariota, you just do what you do, take care
of the ball, and you Yeah, you come out of
that game victorious.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
All right, the next one. I'm sorry, but during any
soccer match shootout, you have to make at least three
or five.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Yes, there's no excuse. The advantage is in your favor.
The goalie is at a disadvantage. There's no way you should.
I mean, every once in a while, yes, you're gonna
guess wrong the goal, he's gonna guess right, and he's
gonna block it. You should never hit the post and
miss the goal entirely, like inexcusable.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
It's hard for me to believe that you can miss
when you are in the MLS three out of five
shootout shots. So uh yeah, I just I can't live
with that one.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Gavel gabble gavel. So as a former goalie, I can
just tell oh, like this they position drop well yeah yeah,
well yeah, yeah, super raggadocious about my soccer game. I'll
just tell you that flat out, it was very rare
that you can stop one if a guy just can
(24:38):
put it on the ground over in the corner. If
you go top shelf over in the corner, no goalie
can get it because you can't. You're not supposed to
leave the goal line until they've kicked the ball. Yeah,
what so if you abide by the rules, so you cheat,
and most goalies do try to cheat, and then if
they actually make some magnificent block, the ref might be like,
(24:59):
you cheated, you left too early. So if you if
it's all done by the rules, all you have to
do is put it near the post, not I'm talking
like within like two feet with velocity, and they're not
going to get it, whether they guess right or not.
So yes, you have to put it on goal. If
the guy makes a spectacular save or cheats and it
doesn't get called, then okay.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
But that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But that's one time of the five.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Yeah, to make two out of five, you don't deserve
to win.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Did you see the one turn from Minnesota who It's
as simple as could be. There's a little white spot,
and you put the ball on the white spot, and
they probably will allow you to as long as it's
touching the white spot. But he tried to gain every
advantage he could, and he put it just before the
white spot. The official really have to come over and say,
you know, it's the white spot. Put it on the
(25:45):
effing white spot. And even then he was trying to
like get a quarter inch advantage now in a kick
that you should make nine out of ten times.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Well, that's the mind games part of it.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
They did it to us too, like they would come
out and be like their goal is, like, hey, what
are you doing? That's past then, and then he would
tell him, hey, make sure it's touching that white thing there.
And then all of a sudden, sure enough got in
our guy's head and he kids crossbar last one.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Now that Aaron Levine is a Jeopardy champ, he will
likely never speak to us again.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh yeah, I'm glad we got him yesterday before we
knew he won.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, because he's he was an arrogant, ticking time bomb.
He's just now that he's now that that wick has
been lit, he's just he'll never see.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Gabbled Gavel gavel.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Well, I'll say this if if the arrogance does begin
to run over, if you will. It hasn't hit him
yet because I've already texted with him. I told him
yesterday I know soccer goalie.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Yeah, now you text with it.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I actual scored a goal as a goalie one time
in soccer. Pretty amazing. Put that in your bromo.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
But I do. I've already texted with him today.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
They're having a little watch party because now that he's
won and everybody knows he won, he'll be on there
again tonight. Seventh He's on again, right in the middle
of the baseball game.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
He sure played it off yesterday like he didn't fare
so well. I was convinced that we were all convinced
that in our meeting yesterday it must not have gone
very well. That a little snake and.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, yeah he won.
Speaker 7 (27:13):
I like that wan Jeopardy, I said before he went
on the air, I said, you are like the smartest
person I know. I can't wait to watch, and he
said exactly to me. Well, unfortunately they put a lot
of really smart people on that show.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
I played you, oh yeah, and then I didn't even watch.
I mean, of all nights for the World Series ago
eighteen innings. Sorry Aaron watching.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I DVR did I was going to watch it today.
Spoiler alert, I'm still going to watch.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I just did well.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, I didn't watch it until then all of a sudden,
the football game's over.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
The soccer match.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Was over, and then it was like, okay, in between innings,
go see him, and he was he's really smart. Yeah,
he got a lot of stuff. I mean, I got
four right out of the total? How many is there
for questions? I got four? Is that I don't think
I would have won.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well, we're gonna have him play beat Bucky. If he
thinks he's gonna have the same luck and beat Bucky,
he's out of his mind.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's gonna.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Say those easy questions. You get there Martha's vineyard. Everybody
knows that.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
What is third place?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
You won't even get a sight.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Where does Aaron finish and beat Bucky?
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, all right, one last thing next Sports Radio ninety
three point three kJ r f M. All right, one
last thing beforehand, things over to Chris Kidd and Mark
(28:46):
James in the midday.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
What do you got over there?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Bucky?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
The uh?
Speaker 5 (28:52):
It was oh the you guys, I'm sure talked about
the whole gambling thing that went down the did you
mentioned it?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
It wasn't a very big story.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
It does make me.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I have one buddy that thinks every single sporting event
is rigged.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
And yet he watches sports.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
He's moving away from it because he's not much in
a conspiracy theorist dink. But I think, yeah, close, yeah,
we're super tight. But I just don't. I mean, I
think that there's a negative side, obviously to the gambling world,
and obviously it's trickling its way in. But I just
(29:35):
think the idea of the whole thing's fixed. Everything is fixed.
I saw a couple of people talking about, well, this
is what MLB wanted, is the Dodgers. I'm like, I
don't think that this is any of this rigged. If
you watched that game last night, it did not look
rigged in the slightest to me. It just felt like
the absolutely, yeah, yeah, good luck trying to get you
(29:56):
know what.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
It ended up being fifty.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Guys or something that went out there and did a
choreograph dance for eighteen hours and then hey, thanks.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
By the way for hitting that one out of the park. Freddy.
That was what a crescendo that was to wait eighteen
eges for that. I don't know, just was my way.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
I wasn't here, and when I'm sure you guys talked
about that, and yet I had friends.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Talking about during our parties that we threw both days.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Oh, you had parties a lot of it.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
Actually, bo Nicks came up to hang out.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
Yeah. I wouldn't normally like you, but if you want
to come hang out while Bucky's out, yeah, Oh that's weird.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
They would want to be here if I wasn't here.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
He didn't even want to be on the air. He
just wanted to hang out and stare at us. Oh
that makes no sense, feel inspired?
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Okay, all right, so we talked about it then, Oh okay,
well I'm glad that you guys talked about it, and
I understood that you guys would have.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I just think that it's really weird to me.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
How now you get you see some people getting caught
and the next step for some people's Yep, they're all rigged.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Everybody's in on it.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I don't know why you would watch sports if you
thought any of it was real.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
It would be the most agg evading thing to ever
put yourself through.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, I mean certainly understanding that there are some malevolent elements,
yeah out there, certainly. But no, I don't know how
you could even watch sports or listen to sports talk
radio if you thought the slightest percentage of it rig No,
don't even get that.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
I don't either, Ashley.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
What's your one last thing?
Speaker 7 (31:23):
Well, we're all adults here in this office, right, like
this is an actual well, like.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
One of the three of us is.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Well, I'm saying the whole office right like it's in
the office of.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
Older people, aged people. Right, We're not children.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
We can we should be able to decide how much
water we would like on our hands and when we
would like it, and how much soap we would like
on our hands, and how many paper towels we would
like to use to dry our hands, dependent on size
of set hands.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
They do restrict us. Why, Yeah, Like I get it,
and you can get more.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Yeah, but first of all, in the women's bathroom, you
just have to keep putting your hands under both of
them fifty times before the first dollop of soap comes out,
and by then the water's turned off.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Men's isn't any better.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
Yeah, see how I just hit my SLP. I mean,
we are I get it in.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
A public restroom right where you want to limit so
you're not having to make them clean up a mess
or whatever is happening there. In an office where we're
supposed to all be responsible humans. I think we should
be allowed to be responsible for how much water, soap,
and paper towels we need and when we need them.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I think I've told you this before, but my high
school principal my senior year, he took over and he
was really going to be He's really going to crack
down on everybody. And so there was one fight, like
two kids, two jerks got in a fight with the
soap in the bathroom, and so he said, that's it,
no more soap. Oh he got showed you. He banned
soap for almost an entire school year.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
What an idiot.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
That's the last thing if I was a high school
principle that I would ban.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
Yeah, I'd be like extra soap for everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
My one last thing. We were talking a little bit
earlier about the greatness of Show Hey, and I mentioned that,
you know, we can't forget Babe Ruth, even though I
do think show has passed him. And we also can't
forget Barry Bonds either, and what he did in hitting.
Ricky Anderson is considered like the greatest on base machine
(33:20):
in baseball history, right, the lead off hitter, the game's
greatest lead off hitter of all time. He had a
four to oh one career on base percentage. His best season,
he had a four to thirty nine on base percentage.
That's his best year, four to thirty nine. Pretty impressive, right.
Barry Bonds had a six to zho nine on base
percentage in two thousand and four. He was on base
(33:41):
sixty one percent of the time. Yeah, sixty one percent
of the time major League Baseball while being care people
being careful with him, sixty one percent.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
There's never been anybody, including Babe Ruth, I think that
was more on it than Barry Bonds was for that
little spurt of time. Oh that he I mean, it
was just figured. Yeah, he was as close to perfecting
as you can get. I mean, showyo, Tony is not
even the best hitter in the game right now, right, true,
but nobody's that is in that conversation.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Also shoves it on the mound.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
True, Yeah, he's the best I've ever seen fifty to fifty.
All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow. MJ and Kid

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
