buying should be a good evening to you, mister Garcia.
Everything good in the Garcia household over there.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, good evening to you, mister No. Yeah, everything's fine,
Thank you for asking. How are you.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'm good, man, things are good.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I've got some audio a little bit later in the
show that I think your wife would would be interested in.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Too bad, she's not listening.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, I didn't expect her to catch it live.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
But you know, if it's worthy, I'll pass it along.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I think her, being the Chargers fan that she is,
I think she'd be interested in some of the things
that Davante Adams.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Right, I did hear about this at home.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
I did hear about this so good?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah. Well, being a proud Fresno state alone, just like
DeVante Adams. Yeah, one of the bulldog grades. Let's put
it this way, when Derek Carr was the quarterback of
the Raiders. It made for a little friction in my
in my house because Derek Carr is also was a
you know, is a Fresno Stater and no longer with
the Raiders. But my wife hates the Raiders with a
(01:25):
passion of the Thousand Sons. So she would talk a
lot of trash, and then she'd bring up Derek Carr
and be like, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
You cheered for him when he was at Fresno State,
now and you can. You can think what you want,
but be respectful. Tou to me.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
By the way, where did she go? Did she go
there too? No?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
My wife? Okay, yeah, she went to school here in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Oh okay, all right. I never asked you about that.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
But uh, the thing that caught my attention, Eddie is
something that this head coach said, something that just you
shouldn't say this whatsoever. So this is Mike Gundhy.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh member, yes, in' man, I'm forty.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I have to look up how old Mike Gundhy is
right now. He's got to be past fifty at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'm looking up for you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, the I'm a man, I'm forty. Rant was a
long time ago. He's up to fifty six. Wow, that
rant was sixty two years ago.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I was doing the trouble of looking it up and
then you just you served me.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Hey, sorry, I was curious.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We're faster on the keyboard than I was.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
It's quicker.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
So the story, Eddie, is that Oklahoma State running back
Ali Gordon, who's a really really good running back, he
was recently arrested for a dui and so they have
Big Twelve media Days now. Ali Gordon was there on Tuesday.
He issued a formal apology on Monday for this dui arrest,
(02:53):
and then he attended Big twelve media Days on Tuesday. Now,
his head coach, Mike Gundhy also attended Big twelve Media Days.
So he was trying to explain why this star running
back Ali Gordon was not suspended. He's not gonna miss
any games for this dui arrest. Now, Eddie, I think
(03:17):
Mike Gundy starts off pretty well. You started listening to
this and you're like, okay, all right, he's level headed
while explaining why there's no suspension, and then it goes
hard left turn right off the ravine listen to what
Mike Gundy had to say as to why his star
running back was not suspended for a DUI arrest.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
When I looked at it, I thought, Okay, I'm gonna
be real honest with myself first and then make the
best decision for what I think is good for Alie,
our university, and our team. And then I start thinking
about being a parent. I have a twenty eight, I
have a twenty three and a nineteen, and first I thought, okay,
(04:00):
so I looked it up on my phone. What would
be the legal limit like in Oklahoma's point eight and
Ollie was point one. So I looked it up and
it was based on body weight. Not to get into
the legal side of it, but I thought, really, two
or three beers or four. I'm not justifying what all
(04:22):
he did. I'm telling you what decision I made. Well,
I thought, I've probably done that a thousand times in
my life.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So that's kind of the reasoning as to why Ali
Gordon was not suspended was because the head coach said, well, hell,
I've done that myself a thousand times. I just wasn't
unlucky enough to get pulled over. So, uh, you know,
lace them up, get ready Ali for Week one College
football Action?
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Good Lord, what do you think of that?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah, well, very honest.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
He was honest.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He has been you know, you know how long he's
been at Oklahoma State.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It's been a long time.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This is his twentieth year Wow as the Cowboys head coach,
and he's he's I mean, there's certainly a level of
comfort in his job apparently. I look, he's he's been
very successful. I mean, they go to a bowl game.
Maybe that's not saying that much, but you know what
I'm saying, that's I mean, I'm sure Oklahoma State fans
(05:23):
are like, hey, you know, at some point, we'd like
to win the Big Twelve at some point, which I
think he's done once. But you know he has you know,
gets ten wins a lot, that kind of thing. But yeah,
it's it's it's Look, when you have a player that
gets arrested for a dui, you have that's very serious
(05:44):
and he needs to be suspended. It's not that hard,
right And I don't know who Olahoma State's playing in
their first game of the year, but I mean, I
don't even think anyone is going to be outraged if
it's you know, one or two games against whoever, you
know what I mean, and then one's saying suspended for
the year or dropping from the team. I think people
are realistic, especially with the star player. I mean not
(06:05):
just the way it is, but I mean just some
accountability that you know what, this isn't okay, it is
something we take seriously now. And for him to just say,
you know, well I've done it, I mean he probably
should say I've done it and I shouldn't have done it,
you know. I mean, that's not he didn't get caught,
(06:26):
is basically what he's saying. Or maybe he did, and
they were like, oh, it's the coach of Oklahoma State.
Well let it go. I don't know, but that come on, man.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, it was really really poorly executed because you have
to know that question is coming your way.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, I'll put it this way.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
When there's a follow up statement to the original statement,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
What was the follow up statement?
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So the follow up statement was and this is even
more peculiar quote. My intended point today at Big twelve
media days was that we are all guilty of making
badness decisions. It was not a reference to something specific.
It sounded like he specifically said he's done that thousands
of times.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah yeah, so uh not a well executed statement by
Mike Gundy. But to your point, Eddie, and this is
the best point, is most of these schools do not
start off with tough non conference games right out of
the gate. There are a few exceptions here and there,
but for the most part, they are not tough games.
For Oklahoma State, they're not even playing an FBS school.
(07:34):
They're playing South Dakota State.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh that's funny. I was gonna say something like South
Dakota just just to be funny, and there you go.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, there it is.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That's a They take on the jack Rabbits, who are
good in at the FCS level, but when you go
play the big boys, it's it often doesn't go too well.
So if there's ever a game to suspend Ali Gordon four,
it's the first game against a team that's not even
an FBS squad. Meanwhile, that much right, yeah, well, and
(08:05):
meanwhile there's no suspension.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And it's so clunky the explanation, like, well.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I've gotten lucky, I haven't gotten pulled over, so so
what what what.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
What are you getting at.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Mike, like Ali was just unlucky, and now you're clumsily
walking through this, like you gotta have a better game plan.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You're the head coach. You preach about being prepared and
all of that. He wasn't even close to prepared to
answer this question that was as obvious as it gets.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
What did Mike Gundy think was gonna be asked before
Big twelve media days? You know, hey, what do you
think about that Jack Rabbits offense?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Come on? Of course Oli Gordon was gonna be brought up.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I think it was pretty clear he didn't. He didn't
think that his response was gonna be that big a deal.
He thought he was being honest and uh, you know,
keeping it real and uh and and that would be appreciated,
but not so much.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Is this the old Dave shape when keeping it real
goes wrong? Is that what just happened to Mike Gundy?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, I've done it thousands of times and uh, you know,
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I mean he could have said, he could have said
something like, you know what, I've done this before, and
I understand maybe where it doesn't seem like it's a
big deal, but it is a big deal, and I
need to be more responsible. He needs to be more
responsible that kind of thing, right, would that have been
an acceptable kind of I'm relating it to myself, but
I'm still showing you that this is this is serious,
(09:33):
and I've learned something from this as well, you know,
something like that. I don't know there was a way
he could have kind of kept it real but also
done the right thing.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I don't think any any player that gets a DUI
should go unscathed that. It's just like I, you know,
there's got to be some kind of punish for that. Yeah.
By the way, I'm not one to a comment on
men's hair too often, and this is radio. I watched
the My Gundy clip there where, Man, that guy's got
(10:03):
to he should be doing hair care product commercials or
something that's guys. He's guys has some pretty good lettuce.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
There, Yeah, he does. He's had the uh, you know,
the the longer hair in the back. Yeah, why Billy
Ray Cyrus. But along those lines, you know, the the
mullet going on. He's had that for a little while.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's part of his uh, part of his stick.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Now I guess it's still going strong. Yeah, still going strong.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think because he had the channel. Ben mallord there
for a minute. You can't say the word sphere, he says, spear.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Really, that's the way.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
There's another word that he can't say. I love it.
Ben's gone. Oh nobody likes to snitch, Lorrena.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
You just get stitches.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, I have a problem with you again exclamation. I
normally can't get it right the the first I lazily.
I can't like the c You don't.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Know what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I've tried because I screwed it up so many times. Yeah,
I'm so aware of it now. Yeah, anything you screw
up there, Eddie. Besides, you get it.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
There's there's there's ones that Ben does that he's been
like corrected on before, but.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
He still doesn't.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You think it's a purpose certain ones like uh, he
says Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, you know what Coop schooled me on one thing
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I always thought it was the auto bond, and when
we were doing overnight weekends, he's he told me in
a very cool way, it's like, it's actually just auto bond,
And I'm like really, And I looked it up the
whole thing, But yeah, I would have still said auto
bond if not for Coop.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Wow, I don't know. That must have been a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
It was a long time ago.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, but uh, you know those moments where you're just like,
oh shoot, I didn't even know it was one of
those moments.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
So I'll never forget that one. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
But yeah, Mike Gundy not well executed, not a good job.
And Ollie Gordon should be suspended against the jack Rabbits
in week one. That's the bare minimum. But I guess
he's gonna be suiting up. That's the case right now.
All right, Eddie, we got a lot to do here,
fired up to be here this evening.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Right around the corner. We talk a lot of music
on this show.

Thank you, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So you hear the hot new rumor about who might
be performing at the next super Bowl halftime show?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Who that would be? Miley Cyrus?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
What do you think about Miley Cyrus in New Orleans,
that's the site of the next super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Is that doing anything for you?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
No? I mean, famously, I guess somewhat famously. I don't
care about any super Bowl halftime show, not one. I've
been to two super Bowls humble brag, and it was
two iconic performers, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, and I
didn't watch either one of them. Wow, I just I
(14:46):
just don't care. And I love music. It's not like
I'm anti music. I've just always thought it was. It
was just it's not for me. I'll just say that
it's just not for me. I'm sorry. I've always been
this way, Like I've gotten bitter in my old age.
I just have. I just never cared about this.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
What what's your favorite band, musical act?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What's at the top of your list? Really it's Metallica, right?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So what if Metallica played the super Bowl halftime show?
You'd just be like, eh, who cares?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Now, see, you're putting me in a hard position there.
I mean, under that rare circumstance, I would probably watch.
But that's like the only one that's that's it, that's
the list.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Who else is in the top five? Like, what's what's
your top three?
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Look like? I don't know. I haven't. I don't, I
haven't really. I mean I know who number one is,
I don't really know who the rest of it is.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
To be honest with you, interesting you don't have like
a number two band a.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I mean I used I was a big Sound Garden
fan there yeah, no more yeah, yes, juel Arena wanted
to add something.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
I love Miley Cyrus really passion.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
When I saw this rumor, I screamed.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I screamed because.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I just joined this sports world and I feel like
they're answering my prayers. They're like, you know, well, Lorena,
we know you're here, yeah, and this is for you.
There you go.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I didn't know you were this big of a fan.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Oh yeah, no, I've had dreams where like we're best friends, like.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
No joke, like we like run into her randomly, and
well I actually saw her. I think it was on
Howard Stern. This wasn't real. I go in those YouTube
rabbit holes all the time, and I saw her performing
with Metallica. I think it was on Howard Stern Show.
I don't know how long ago. I don't know how
long ago this was. She's a rock arm I was like, yeah, okay.
(16:44):
I was like, yeah, all right, not bad, very talented.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
So they did like a duet together.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
No, she did lead vocals on a song.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Oh, do you have any idea what song it was?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I should, but I don't. I'm sure I could find it.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Man, We'll have to find that. Wow, I'm super cure.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What's hopefully it was like when Metallica was still good,
you know, like an old like Black album before that.
I'm not trying to be Yea or anything.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I'm hoping it was something from Puppets or Justice or
something cool when they still had balls, you know. I'm
hoping it was something like that instead of post Black
album and mighty singing.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
We're just jealous that she's not singing some devil worshiping
crap that you listen to.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
My question is, what did you do during the Super
Bowl when those halftime shows were going on. You just
get some food, go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, go for a walk, It's gonna hang out.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
It's like, it's just the boss. I'll go walk right now. Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Lorena informs me that it was nothing else matters.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, well that makes sense. I'm sure she did a
great job with that, probably right in her Wheelah.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I thought it was there was fine. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
So is she confirmed or is this just more of
that the same rumor.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's just a rumor.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
She was a finalist for the last Super Bowl but
it went to Usher.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I mean, obviously she's quite famous, and I'm gonna probably
poke Loreina a little bit with this, but is she
still really relevant? Does she? Does she have a catalog
worthy of being a Super Bowl halftime performers? Songs? Okay?
What means is the word for it? I really don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
She just won her first Grammy in last year's Grammy Awards. Okay,
so I mean I would say that's still that, you know,
counts the relevant part.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I mean looking at the hits wrecking Ball, that was
a fantastic one. Did she win it for Flowers Coop?
Was that what I figured she would win it for?
That party in the USA.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah, there we go. This was on the Howard Stern Show, Eddie,
that's what she said.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, this this was.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
This was a while ago, right, twenty twenty one, Yeah,
a little bit right when her Plastic Hearts rock.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Album came out. Oh of course, of course.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I'm so curious what she sounds like. We're getting to it.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'll tell you what, man, this is not something you
want to screw up, you know, just the guitar wise,
you hit a bad note in this slow part when
you're really paying attention, bad idea.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Plus you're in a stadium, you're in a little room
with just nobody else there.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, but when you get to the heavy part, you know,
you can screw up here and there it's fine. I'm
trying to figure out the vibe of her singing right here.
How would you describe that, Eddie. The vibe, Yeah, the
vibe of what she sounds like there, it's very dark.
(19:59):
It's a dark her vibe that she's going for here,
kind of like the uh I just joke nine packs.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Of cigarettes that that's just her voice.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
That's what it has to be. What you wanted to be,
like high pitched like.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Well, but that's Miley's voice. She has a hoarse, raspy voice, I.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Guess, but like the Flowers song for instance, right, she
gets she can get high.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Her vocal range, she can get high.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
So we've heard.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Say listen to that, listen out high. She's killing it. Wow.
So it's James N. Miley. Yeah, man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Metallica has done a lot of stuff and some of
their experiments are pretty good. Some have not been good.
What did you think about like the orchestra behind them
when they did that?
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Whole thought it work.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, speaking of again, the YouTube thing I saw them,
the Elton John had some sort of a I don't
know what it was, some honor of Elton John. I
don't know what the official thing was. Yeah, I don't
think it was like the Kennedy Center Honors or something
like that. But anyway, they were doing it had dad
different big acts come out and sing different Elton John songs,
and they came out and sang a song. I didn't
(21:15):
know it, and I thought they absolutely killed it. I
thought it was amazing. And nobody was rocking out except
for Elton John. Like the whole crowd was just sitting
there staring at them like what is this? And I
was just like, my god, you guys. You people can't even, like,
you know, move your head a little bit. I mean Jesus,
it was so weird. But Ellen John loved it. He
stood up and gave a standing ovation and that was
(21:36):
really good.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I was like, you're saying it was Metallica that yeah, yeah,
he did an Elton John song. It kills me every
now and then we'll be blessed with like a heavy
band to perform on one of these music shows.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And it's the same thing, Eddie. It kills me.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
When the crowd is just sitting there watching, it's like,
what are you guys doing?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Did you move around? Move your head at least a
little little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I prefer that you got up and started moshing and
acted ridiculous, but at least a little head bobbing here
and there.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
As The very song was called Funeral for a Friend.
That's a great song. There you go check it out, Coop.
I thought it was really cool.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
We got a sample that too. I would like to
hear that as well.
Speaker 7 (22:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
We got some soccer going on. If you're into that
European Championship semi final Spain over France one nothing, and
the Copa America semi final Argentina shut out Canada two
to nothing, and do we ever get it? By the way,
do we ever get an answer on Jef Schwartz going
to the Uruguay game there in Charlotte.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I think he's gonna go tomorrow. I can he's probably
in bed by now. I could try to text him,
but it's two thirty Eastern time. He's gotta go. He's
a former NFL player. He was in the league for
like seven eight years.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't know what that has to do with anything,
but he.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Made a lot of cash. You know, I know these
expensive How expensive is it?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Is it? Really?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, that's what he said. Tickets are pretty expensive, but
come on, he's a professional player for almost a decade.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
He can afford it.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah. I'm not a big soccer guy, but if there
was you know, there was some really huge soccer game
here in match soccer match here in Los Angelesten, I
had a chance to go. I might check it out,
just for the atmosphere of it and all that I
know they've had games here before, like Mexico US, although
I don't know if i'd want to go to one
of those games, to be honest with you, it's like
(23:29):
a Mexico home game. But I'm sure Roberto would go. Also,
Roberto our former calling in tennis. We had a couple
of big upsets on the inside, the number one seed
Yanick Center losing at Wimbledon and the defending champ Carlos
Alcarez also out as well. So upsetting day there over
in London. Well, I guess Wimbledon. It's Wimbledon, right, it's
(23:50):
not funny Wimbledon.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, what would be most likely the top dollar amount
for you to attend a or that you weren't that into?
You know, it's a big event. We're talking the Euros.
It's well, that's a bad example. It's Copa America. It's
in your backyard. You're not a huge soccer fan, but
you know what, the hell with it? These are the
(24:12):
semi finals. Let's check it out. What would be the
most you'd be willing to spend.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
I'd probably go like three hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
That's pretty good. That's pretty good for a sport that
you're not huge into. Yeah, it was. I would say
somewhere around there. But yeah, if I'll put it this way,
if Copa America was within you know, it was close
to where I was living.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
That's in his backyard. It's in Charlotte for Jeff. Speaking
of gosh, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Speaking of where are you living these days? Because last
time we talked, you were making a transition to New Orleans. Yeah,
and you were kinda you were kind of there but
kind of not there. So what's what's the update.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, we were in New Orleans for a couple of months.
Now we're back babysitting the cats in Champagne, Illinois for a.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Couple of months. That's where we're at.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Sorry, Yeah, you're babysitting cats for a couple of months.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Have I not shared this with you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
So last year we stayed my girlfriend and I we
stayed in Champagne, Illinois for it. Last year was about
three months. But it's a yeah, yeah, it's a couple.
They I think they both work at the University of
Illinois and she's from the Netherlands, so I think each
summer they go home they visit her family, and so
(25:32):
we needed a place. The timing just worked out. And
they were like, hey, would you mind babysitting our cats though?
And we're like what and they're like, yeah, we had
two cats and I don't know if you could just
like look after them, that would work out great. And
we're like, uh yeah sure. So we love these freaking cats, Eddie,
they're the best. They're just hanging out right before the
show started.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You know, how do you know these people? We didn't.
We just and they've trusted you with their home and
their beloved pets for two months. Yeah. They well, those
are some very trusting folks.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Did you find them on like a house swap?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeahs website?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Uh dirty house swapper.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
No, it is like a lot of these people they
have furnished homes and for one reason or another they're
just available and they rent them out and so it
just worked out that way where they're going to be gone.
And they did the same thing this year. So we're
here for a couple of months. It's been raining like crazy,
like the remnants of the hurricane.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
It is raining all day.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
So do you get paid for this or is it
just you get to stay there for free as your payment?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
No, we get like a little bit off from each
month that we pay to be here to look after
these cats. But I don't care. I love these freaking cats.
You know, it doesn't even bother me.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Then didn't think of you as a cat guy.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I didn't either, you know, I'm still more of a
dog guy. I love dogs, but I didn't. I didn't
realize I would love cats as much as I do.
These cats are adorable.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
There cats are.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
How I might stumble them about smuggling them out of here.
We'll get to a horrible idea from an NFL quarterback momentarily,
But the militia wants to check in. They take precedent here,
So let's go to Mike the Leprechaun. First up in Boston.
What is going on, Mike, You're on Fox Sports Radio
Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Good man. I'm so glad. I'm going to slow it
down because I know you don't have much time for me.
Five minutes would be the most, right. I'll pack a
lot in. I'll pack a lot in. I would say
the vibe of that song would be a depressed cheap right.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
It did sound a little bit depressive. Yes, yeah, So hold.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
On, Eddie, Eddie, you can never poke Loraina with anything
that's that's unacceptable. I'm going to do a quick called
the over under in Irelands right now, Sprice, it's two thirty.
The over under quick is am I coming home from
the bar or getting to do so?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
I think you're I think you're coming home from the bar.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
No, but put in the stakes and enough so that's fine.
This is the thing about the Draft King. Draft King
is made by Sir Arthur Guinnis. In seventeen fifty three
he created something called Guinness stouts. Have you ever had one?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I have? And I'm not a drinker, Mike, Oh my god?
Speaker 5 (28:22):
All right? Moving out soccer France deserve to lose today.
This Spain just like the US last week they played
not to lose. Moving on. When I get back to
your friend Ben, I'm going to talk to him about chasm.
No he is how Ben messed up last night? Eddie,
you can't be a side kick because I think Ben
has kicked your own too much.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah him, I can't him around just as much as
he kicks me around.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
He's too soft, way too soft. Elton John Rock Metallica
is overrated. Tom Petty, whoa whoa whoa?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Mike the lepre Why is Metallica overrated.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
What's the reasoning there?
Speaker 5 (29:00):
They faded out like a pop balloon.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh, let me talk, I'm talking eking.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Haven't happened? And the next year the pictures came and
they won the Super Bowl. And please rank YouTube that
concert at the best of all times. There you go,
h you too?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
You too is okay? You know Bono and the Blue
Glasses they are right.
Speaker 5 (29:26):
The year after year after nine to eleven, when the
pictures were coming on the field, they didn't even send
the super bag out for it. The staid they jumped
in as a team. I'll do a quick song. This
fland is called Christy Moore. Oh, listening, listening, listening, let's
do lest I would put him for the Super Bowl too,
tell you boo. And the news flash I heard over
(29:48):
here in Boston is that, according to my sources, Billy
Jean King is making a comeback. Really, that's that's that's
a bit of soccer.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
It sounds like Marshal Well.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
I paid a thousand dollars to go to Game two
up in the nose bleed and it was worth every penny.
And I'm going to finish up here by saying, if
if if I had to go to an event that
I wouldn't normally go through. I would go to the
paras Olympics and maybe spend two thousand dollars for the
back and field package.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
By the way, Michael, before you go, what was Game two?
Was it the Celtics?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
It's so can I say? Can I say a word
that I shouldn't say? It's called ESPN. ESPN interviewed me.
I got talking to the dunkan Joon, the girls and
the box and globe. We're taking pictures of me. I
was dressed like a leproach.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh, well there you go. Can we find this on
the internet.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
I have it in my pictures. I could sell your pictures.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Please do what happen?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Let me tell you the ESPN story. I was outside
the stadium. ESPN was saying, we're during the countdown in
ten seconds, make noise. It was already noisy. I happen
to have a Lepracaun hat on my top of my head, Yes,
on my head. And the dude who was doing a
baller game, he was doing the dig sporting good trucks,
and he was taking shots and he was he was
he was great. Cracks that you can't say a cracking
out because crack means fun. But anyway, the dude comes over,
(31:23):
writer's going to five four three two one. He grabs
my hat and puts it on his head and then
they go live I suppose, and he didn't him over
two minutesats and he took clicksuit of me. So if
you can't make that stuff of a price, could you
make that up?
Speaker 1 (31:37):
You could make it up, but we believe you. We'd
still like to see the documented proof, though, Mike.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
The look, how would I go about doing that? I
can email us, I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Tweet us, to tweet us, hit us on.
Speaker 9 (31:49):

Speaker 3 (32:43):
I don't know, man. I enjoyed Mike Eleprechaun. It was good.
