I know Nick in Nebraska. He's delivered over ten thousand

pieces of mail over the years, and so he appreciates
the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
He's a big fan of the number ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So the lead this hour. We are going deep, deep
into the solar system. And something I don't often talk about,
Jerry's World. It's my favorite place to visit. I don't
know about your favorite place in the Milky Way, but
my favorite place.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Is Jerry's world.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And if you ever got a sports talk radio show,
your replaced the visit would be Jerry's World. So we
follow the life in Times of America's team, the cinematic
drama trying to find a new head coach. If you
haven't heard the latest, maybe you're out playing in the snow, right.
A lot of people sending me pictures of the.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Snow and the video and the cold and all that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So maybe you're out enjoying the nice, nice January bombing conditions.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you enjoy the cold weather.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So we've learned the Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboys have completed
an interview not with Dion Sanders. No no, no, no
no no. They've gone above Dion Sanders. They have completed
an interview with Brian Schottenheimer. Say what, yeah, Brian Schottenheimer
(02:44):
for the vacant head coaching job. We are told that
the interview took three and a half hours. What could
they possibly have talked about for three and a half hours.
I don't know about you. I've been in a few
job interviews over the years. None of them have lasted
three and a half hours. They sit down a wht cartoons.
What were they doing for three and a half hours?
I'd love to know. Anyway, If you look at the
(03:05):
big board, the big board, this marks not one, not two,
not three? How about number four? Number four is on
the door. That's the fourth interview you had. Kellen Moore
virtually Robert Salah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
More on him in a minute, and.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Leslie Fraser down goes Frasier, down, goes fras Now Dion Sanders,
a popular pick by popular people, is not on that
list despite conobling Now, would anyone be surprised if Jerry
has stealth bomber like interviewed Dion Sanders, he takes some
(03:48):
drone and flown over to Colorado. How to chat with Dean?
Nobody be shocked by that. But the the name of
the day, not to be confused with the soup of
the day or the special of the day of the day.
A la cart is Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys dining
al Fresco outside with Brian Schottenheimer, who was on the
(04:11):
Cowboy coaching staff. He was listed as the offensive coordinator,
but Mike McCarthy did all the heavy lifting, and he's
been considered for both the head coach, we are told,
and offensive coordinator positions in Dallas. So let us discuss
the question, how do you classify the latest reporting that
Jerry Jones has spoken and interviewed Brian Schottenheimer, the spawn
(04:37):
of Marty Schottenheimer, for.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The Cowboy coaching jobs.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So I've got arcade, Mafia and tree hugger, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a clay Doll Gumby Gumby. You might
not know who that is, but popular back in the day,
(05:01):
all right, So A, you do not have to be
Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter to know that this name,
Brian Schottenheimer does not move the needle. Does not move
the needle, Like, what are we doing here? You're the
Dallas bleep and Cowboys. In fact, that name is so
(05:22):
disgusting it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Makes me want to puke in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Kellen Moore, Robert Sala, Leslie Fraser, and Brian Schottenheimer tell
me you're not even trying.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Without telling me you're not even trying, what are we doing.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Brian Schottenheimer is the kind of guy that the Colts
would hire or the ben Gals.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He's a jack is what he is. Just a coach,
That's what he is.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Nothing special. Has over twenty years in the game. It's
good to be the son of an NFL coach. So
the younger shot and iron. Brian Schottenheim twenty years, over
twenty years coaching, he said, multiple stints with multiple franchises
as offensive coordinator, four different teams. None of them he
left the mark on. We used to goofind him when
he was with the Jets, but who doesn't. So he's
(06:05):
a nepotism baby. He's Bronnie James is what he is.
He's a nepo baby. Now Jerry is running this coaching
search like he's at the arcade. He's had a couple
of shots of whiskey or whatever. He's blindfolded and he's
playing the claw machine, and he's attempting to get the
(06:26):
big Stuffy to be the coach of the Cowboys. This conversation, well,
it's just you know, we'll talk, we'll talk about whatever's
going on here. But he's just like you're drawing a blank.
It's like, what are you doing? You know, even even
for due diligent purposes, it's bad for fan morale. Schottenheimer
has no business of being a head coach, not of
(06:47):
a glamour franchise, allegedly like the Cowboys. But it makes
no sense even to hire somebody were saying, well, they
just interviewed him to hire him as the offensive coordinator,
and that gets on your nerves soon. And I have
no skin in the game. I'm not a Cowboy fan,
but you follow the chain of command. You you hire
the head coach, and then the head coach. They're the
ones that pick the offensive cordator, not vice versa. It's
(07:09):
like you're counting your chickens before they hatch here, and
that's a bad job by you. So I understand. I'm
a Cowboy supporters. The Cowboy loyalists are going on a
wild ride here. They're being taken into.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The Winnie the Pooh world.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And they are playing the role of e Or and
they're becoming even more miserable and pessimistic, pessimistic. They're like
the Donkey very much. So question everything, and you must
be a skeptic about all of of Jerry's plans. Is
he Is he really going to hire another sock puppet?
Is Dave Campbell's still around? Can they bring him back?
(07:46):
And they go back in the way back machine. Well,
the Clappers on TV every Sunday, they can bring him back.
Clap on, clap off the clapper. He's available. He's on
TV all right now, Page two. So elsewhere as we
spam the globe to bring you the latest on the
coaching care So, Mike McCarthy, did you see this? Mike
McCarthy supposed to interview with the Saints, but that was
(08:09):
delayed by the southern blast of cold, snowy weather that
hit the southern United States below the Mason Dixon line,
So Mike McCarthy's trip was delayed to the Bayou. However, however,
he is the betting favorite McCarthy to get the job
in now Leans. This after the Bears snashed Ben Johnson.
(08:32):
This is the only gig Mike McCarthy the only one
that Mike McCarthy has been prominently mentioned for or is
in even being considered for at this point.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now do you think do you think that Mike.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
McCarthy is nervous? Do you think he's nervous about being
shut out on this go round of.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The coaching cycle? So I will play psychologist, something that
we have to do when you have a talk show.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So I believe the concern level is very small, marginal, marginal.
Here's why, by all accounts, at this point when you
read the room, Mike McCarthy is still in the pole position. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He was in the pole position for the Bears job
and then.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
He lost the race. He lost the race, but he
wasn't for a while. He was in the pole position there,
So you could lose this job too. Plus, and this
is the main point when you talk about Mike McCarthy,
is he's financially set eighteen years cartoon size NFL head
coach checks New Orleans is not a great job. It's
(09:41):
not the roster blows. It's a piecemeal organization. If Mike
McCarthy goes to a place like No Orleans and sucks
at a time, you cannot suck. Guess what, It doesn't matter.
He's a made man anyway. Whether he gets the job
or not. Success in the football world is a shirt.
(10:03):
He's a fully initiated member of the NFL Mafia, which means,
whether he gets this job or not, he'll either get
some no show, decently paying consulting job in the NFL
or or he'll draw a line over to some TV
job somewhere. My favorite now is a podcast. Everyone wants
(10:26):
to do audio content, and he can do a podcast.
But either way, he's going to get a gig that'll
pay him a decent amount while he treads water and
waits for another head coaching job to open up with
his name on it. All right, last word, we now
go to mean this salt. We peel back the onion
and we step further into the Viking ship, where coach
(10:47):
Kevin O'Connell has agreed to a multi die year contract extension.
Multi year contract extension avoiding ducktown status lame duck status.
He had one year left and he had made a.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Deal with the Devil.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He was upset the Vikings wouldn't extend him last year,
so he ends up staying on the sidelines in the
Twin Cities.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So what is the life lesson?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What is the life lesson of Kevin O'Connell's Vikings extension.
You're probably saying them out, there's no life lesson. You're
just talking out of your took us with the life lesson,
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
But there is a life lesson here. There's a couple
of them.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Lesson number one, The playoffs don't matter, all right. The
Vikings absolutely embarrassed themselves. They ran into a hurricane in
their underwear. They were not prepared, They were not showing
any sense of urgency, even though they were down by
(11:49):
a gazillion points to the Rams, they were seemingly running
out the clock. And despite that and many people getting
on their soapbox saying what is Kevin O'Connell doing, clearly
the organization was just happy to make the playoffs, and
they were blaming it on Sam Darnold and not O'Connell.
On the Houdini act of exiting the playoffs stays left
(12:12):
against the Rams. Lesson number two, it's a teachable moment.
Lesson number two, Timing matters. Timing matters, and also being
an environmentalist, being a tree hugger matters, because when you're
a tree hugger, you have to plant trees or go
a very well timed leak, a very well timed league
(12:35):
from Kevin O'Connell's camp, whether it was his agent or
someone else to Jay Glazer right before the final Sunday
of the NFL season was going to kick off members
on the Fox pregame show, and Jay Glazer had the
story that there was a story that had been planted
inside Jay's phone, inside Jay's phone that the other NFL
(12:58):
teams were plotting to try a trade for Kevin O'Connell
and get him out of Minnesota. Oh man, that was
a big story. So that clearly a plant, right. That
fairy tale in the NFL pregame show was meant to
put some pressure on the Viking ownership, the people that
call the shots there, and it worked right spoiler alert,
(13:20):
It hit the center of the bullseye right there. Boom,
center shot bullseye. So Kevin O'Connell is signed, sealed and delivered.
All the teas have been crossed, the dyes have been added,
dotted on the on the the docu sign. So now
we'll see whether or not he has the Midas touch
(13:42):
or the Sadam Touch with JJ McCarthy, whether it's lost
in translation or better, days are ahead for the Minnesota
Vikings player that had a essentially a red shirt year. Right,
JJ McCarthy got hurt in play. I suppose he learned
while watching. We'll see if that pays pays off or not.

B what Mallard of the third degree later this hour.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But our lead from college football the day after Ohio
State basking and the after glow of beating Notre Dame
in the National Championship game back on Monday, Monday, Monday night,
and so they're still celebrating. Many people focusing in on
(15:35):
the return to glory for Ryan Day, the head coach
in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
He was under fire, under siege.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
After the Buck guys had lost to Michigan in the
regular season final.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's been well.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Documented how bad that loss was in Columbus, despite being
massive favorites.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And now they've come back and won the championship.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So I don't know if you've been concerent doomed with
the chatter, the autopsy on how that happened, the blow
by blow and all of that. Perhaps not, But I
thought it was interesting. So Ryan Day was dragged through
the mud. Not fair. Now everyone's writing, Oh, it's not fair.
Oh blah blah blah bla blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Blah blah blah blah, bah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
After the loss to the Wolverines back in the end
of twenty twenty four, and so now he's got the
receipts and he can walk around like a peacock, and
clearly the storyline has changed. So let us discuss the question.
Let's get right to the meat of the matter. Does
Ohio State coach Ryan Day deserve to go on an
(16:42):
apology tour.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And get a.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Bunch of I'm sorry from the various critics. Does Ohio
State coach Ryan Day deserve an apology from the people
that were critical of his coach? So I've got stables, animaniacs,
and whistle stop and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are going to carve out of
(17:08):
a mountain. We're going to carve something out of a mountain.
So first of all, I'm shaking my head. No, I'm
shaking my head. No, Ryan Day does not deserve an
apology Ohio State. He deserved to be roast.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Okay, so he didn't deserve.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The buddy was at the time that took place, that
was accurate criticism of Ryan Day. And that's how it works.
You went out, you bought your team, which is fine.
I don't have a problem. I like the Dodgers. They
buy their team. I'm happy with that. But when the
Dodgers don't win, they get ripped. Ohio State went out
tried to pay for a championship, and it looked like
(17:46):
it wasn't going to work out. They spend over twenty
million dollars, which for now is a lot of money.
In a few years it'll be one hundred million. But
they were favored by twenty and a half points at
one moment in time against the Michigan football team, So
they were almost three touchdown favorites. They were at home,
and they gagged. They suffocated, They choked. The Buck guys choked.
(18:08):
The moment was too big. They couldn't handle it. Michigan
had been so blah. But yet Michigan in that game
kept Ohio State's offense and checked the rivalry game. And
if you look at the last few years, I know
that was Jim Harball, but Michigan has dominated Ohio State
in recent years. And that's the game that matters more
than every other game for the Buck guys. We all
(18:29):
know that, even if you're not from Ohio or you're
not from Michigan, you know that Ryan Day had been
goofed on. But that goes with the real estate. See
that goes with the territory. You buy the land, you
get that on the land, that's part of the land.
And he's well compensated for his troubles. He makes over
ten million dollars a year, just got a million dollar bonus.
So with that million dollar bonus, I assume that Ryan
(18:51):
Day can afford to go down to the stables. Probably
has a big ranch, big plantation there. Go down to
your stables, and why don't you get one of those
many therapy horses and help manage your anxiety if this
is really an issue. You're expected to win titles at
Ohio State. You hadn't won a title at Ohio State
as the coach, and so you you don't need an
(19:14):
apology if you're Ryan Day, because you were held accountable.
That's the yin and the yang right to give and
the take, and that's how it works. And you might
not like that, but that's the way it works. And
now the other storyline about Ohio State is should Ryan
Day leave the buck Eyes because of the way the
fans were toxic towards him and his family, leave Ohio
(19:35):
State behind for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
So this is one of those.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Cinderella stories, you know, run off and go to the
big Dance in the NFL. But at this point, there
is no indication that anyone from the NFL wants Ryan Day. Now,
it might be wrong on this, I don't know. I
just see the Overnight show. Maybe somebody will pop up
later today, is that we want Ryan Day. But at
this point, at this point, bupkiss right, So it does
(20:00):
take two to tango.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't think you can just give yourself a job.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't think Ryan Day can get on the phone
and call up the Jacksonville football team and say, hey,
i'd like them, I'd like to coach the Jags.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Can I do that? I don't think that's how that works.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
So, yeah, it's it's a nice thought to say he's
gonna run off and become a head coach in the NFL.
And he's been a coach working his way up and
then becoming a head coach for twenty five years. Out
of those twenty five years of coaching, he spent exactly
two years as a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Positional coach, not a coordinator.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Positional coach in the NFL, and outside of you look
around like Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson, most college coaches, it
has not worked out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Now each situation is unique. Urban Meyer. He had a
very good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Time with the young ladies there at the bar, but
on the field didn't work out so well for Urban.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Secondly, we go to the wisdom of a voice of
college football, Joel Clatt, the Fox Sports commentator Joel Clatt
there got on his soapbox. He was not happy, not
pleased with the end of the college football season.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He went on a ran.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
He said, this is supposed to be the pinnacle of
our sport, meaning the championship game, the destination for every player, coach, fan. Clatt,
on his soapbox ranted, Yet somebody decided that playing the
national championship on a Monday night deep into the NFL
playoffs was a good idea. Clatt grumbled, the mismanagement of
(21:34):
college football has been egregious.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Close quote all right.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So Fox Sports college football pundit Joel Clatt.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Not even really implying. I think he just laid it
all out.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
For you that college football made a terrible mistake by
playing the national title game in essentially late January and
the NFL playoffs are going on. Are you going to
vote down or you're going to vote up on this?
You're gonna vote up or you're gonna vote down on
(22:08):
Joel Clatt saying that this was a terrible mistake by
the gods of college football. So I'm going to downvote
this take. I'm going to downvote this take. I disagree
with Joel Klatt. Times are a change in and Clatt
knows exactly who's responsible for this change. It's not exactly
(22:29):
like it's a secret. This is not some kind of
classified document.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's this is not a.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
National security issue here, he said, somebody decided to play
the national Championship game on Monday. B Well, we know
who that is. Two letters on the wheel of fortune.
Can I get a T and a V? Yes. TV
they're the ones that are omnipresent. They're the ones that
are the sugar daddy of college sports. They're the ones
(22:57):
calling shots. So it's not mismanagement. Is a cost benefit
analysis kind of obvious.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It's kind of obvious.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They they're the ones that pay the check, They buy
the games and all that TV, ESPN, ABC, everything's bigger
in twenty twenty five college football.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's the new world order of college football.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And it's much like animaniacs, the people that put the
TV together and college football. They get together, all right,
and they're like pinky in the brain and it's like pinky,
san gee, Brain, what are we gonna do tonight? And
brain responds with the same thing we do every night,
try to take over the world.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's scientifical. The people in charge who they try to
figure out.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
How many people can we get to watch, the biggest
audience we can get to watch. They crunch the numbers,
They put a ven diagram together and they determine what
is the optimal time, the date and time to play
these games. Get the biggest bang for their buck, the
biggest bang for their buck. Right, that's how you do it.
Can't compete with the NFL playoffs head to head, although
(23:59):
I mean if you could compete, you would play on
the weekend. You can't do that, So you gotta play
on a Monday night or a Thursday or whatever Friday,
so you schedule around those games. The NCAA players actually
benefits trickle down economics because more exposure brings higher ratings,
which means more money for advertisers, which means more money
will filter down to the players via nil deals because
(24:21):
the sponsors will want to be associated with the players
and more money in the free agency of college football.
There'll be a quiz on this later. It's not that hard,
all right, Final five. So we go now to Michael Vick.
He's the head coach. Now. Michael Vick, he was introduced recently,
is the head coach at Norfolk State. That's a school
(24:42):
you've never heard of in Virginia. Michael Vick says his
goal with Norfolk State coaching football there is to eventually
get a Power five job at a job at a
Power five school.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
So how does this play out?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
All right? The obvious thing he is you follow the
yellow brick road of Deon Sanders. The only reason Michael
Vick has a job is because of Deon Sanders. If
Deon Sanders had fallen on his face and there had
been no buzz with Deon Sanders, Michael Vick would not
be coaching Norfolk State.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
He wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Right, This is a whistle stop tour for Michael Vick,
and he's got the whistle in his mouth. He's got
an opportunity make something out of nothing. It was the
great P. T. Barnum, the man that pointed out the
importance of the Novelty Act, and without promotion foresaid, novelty act,
something terrible happens. You don't have promotion nothing. So whether
(25:38):
Michael Vick wins or not, his secondary Deon Sanders had
some success at Jackson State, but he wasn't God's gift
to coaching at Jackson State. But he built up a
lot of good karma, right, that was the most important thing,
and so he then ran off to Colorado and got
that job. Michael Vick, by coaching standards, is getting paid peanuts.
(26:00):
He's got a four year contract to coach football at
a school with really no budget and four hundred thousand
dollars annually the base salary at Norfolk State, which is
kind of like working at your first job at the
car wash or as a lifeguard during the summer. It's
(26:21):
a good starter job. Get your feet wet a little bit,
see where it goes. And Michael Vick is dating himself
because there is.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
No more Power five. I don't know if you heard about.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
This, but the PAC twelve was swallowed up. It was
eaten by the other conferences, so there is no more
power five. The PAC twelve is dead. There's no more
PAC twelve. So and really there's really the power two.
It doesn't sound as good to say the Power two.
Sounds cool to say Power five or Power four, but
it's really the Power two. It's the Big Ten, the
(26:52):
reigning champions of college football from Ohio State, and it's
the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who did not make the championship.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's the list right there. Those are the two power conferences.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Now, the smart money says, if Michael Vick knows what
he's doing, and that's on one side of the diagram,
on the other side of the diagram, you've got the
Virginia Tech football program, and if they start floundering along here,
then there's a collision course where Michael Vick is uscending
and Virginia Tech is descending. And then there's the point,
(27:27):
the sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Where they meet. And then when they meet, that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Presents opportunity for Michael Vick to end up coaching his
old school. That seems to be pointing in that direction.
If the Hokies do the hockey poke.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And start winning, and then I'll screw things up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Deon Sanders has not gotten the Florida State seminal job,
for example, although they have been not exactly taken off
there at Florida.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
State, be sure to catch live editions of The Ben

Speaker 3 (28:01):
To the third degree, This is one big Ben gets grilled.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
Koberlok Cooper Cup spoke with reporters on Monday about his future,
and he said, I feel like I've got a lot
of good football left in me. I'll be playing football
next year, that much I know Ben. Will he be
playing it with the Rams?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well, he could be playing it with his kids, I
don't know, or kids in the neighborhood park. The indicators
are he will not be with the Rams next year.
The Rams haven't out on their contract. They'd have to
pay him if they keep him almost thirty million dollars
and he's a number two or number three receiver. He
was really a number three receiver this year. Poka Nakua
is clearly the number one guy, so they're not going
(28:41):
to pay him that Money's thirty two next season.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I say he's not a Ram next year next.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Former quarterback turned to analyst Chris Simms had an interesting
take on the Mark Andrews drop over the weekend. He said,
Mark Andrews needs to catch it. Don't get me wrong,
but Lamar Jackson making fifty five million a year, he
double clutched it and threw it like a dart. He
made it as hard as possible, as hard as it
could possibly be for a wide open touchdown.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Bet does he have a point?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah? I mean he's not. I've heard Boomersiasin said something similar.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I guess Sims.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I mean these quarterbacksally like, well, he didn't fund he
wasn't fundamentally right, Lamar on that throw, I you know,
I'm not gonna get in the technical stuff. But yet
still Mark Andrew should have caught. But he was not
a perfect pass. But Andrew should he got to catch
the ball. I mean it bounced off his chest, for
God's sakes. I mean that's embar. It's like Baul bounced
off your face. What are you doing all right?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Next?
Speaker 6 (29:34):
John Calipari and Arkansas fell to zero to five an
SEC play Saturday, and an anonymous rival SEC coach said
the fear is gone and that the coach is becoming archaic.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Ben, do you think the game has passed John Calipari?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
By no, He's just got to find better plays. He
would just overwhelm everyone at Kentucky and the other places
he's coached with raw talent. But now the other schools
have caught up. But he's just got to pay for
better players. I guess.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But it's I'm not gonna say's washed up?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
How did we do you pass?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I passed that to win?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I won Winter, Ben Bather Winter, I won the game.

Dear Rye, you heard the man. It's time for love

questions we got tonight?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Wow, we get a lot of questions. And snowing in
Bourbon Street.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
I love that.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
I wish I could have a little drink on Bourbon
Street in the snow with my snow boots and a scarf.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You like that so cute walk down Bourbon Street. I understand,
very nice. Well, it is the Queen of Hearts. These
are actual questions by actual listeners to the show. First
one comes from Ferg Dog and Dog how do I
convince women? Ferg Dog says that I'm not a big jerk.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, first off, you have to stop being a big jerk.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Shots fired, Okay.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I mean.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Whatever they perceive you as is obviously what you're being,
So you know, maybe you change up your rhythm movie.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Mike and Colorado writes and says, I recently had an
ex girlfriend contact me and ask me to donate the
seed of life.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
If you will here, so she could try to get pregnant.
Should I do that?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
That is so cool? I love that.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
I think it's an honor for someone who you have
dated in your past to hit you up, not for
anything besides the fact that they want your jeens because
you have such good genes, they liked you as a person.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Should he run that by his wife?
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Yeah, obviously maybe.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
And also you have to think about it like this too,
because if you actually do go through with it, that
kid's probably gonna want to know you later on in
their life, even if you're not involved in their childhood.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So yeah, and at some point with the DNA testing,
they will find.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
They will find you. So that's definitely something you'd have to,
you know, go have it.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They'll have a chat.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
But if your wife was cool with that too, that'd
be really nice.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right. A cowboy killer writes and says lorraina queen
of hearts, would you ever give your significant other a
whole pass on a guys.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Or girls trip or spring break?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
One day?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You know, Andre Carolinko, like one one day a year
you go out and go for it.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
No, I don't know, I I it depends, It depends.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
I'm going to say it depends.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
What does it depend on the situation and our relationship
and where we're at.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We've been married for a few years. You know things.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
If I can do it, you can do it. If
you can do it, I can do it. Are you okay?
If I do it? And if so, then everything's fine,
then we're good. Everything's fine, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
King Roy says, I have a friend that is looking
for or a bimbo for a girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Do you have any recommendations.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Looking for a bimbo for a girlfriend? I would go
walk the streets, man, see what you can find.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
And I know over there's this waffle house over a
couple of cities away here in California, and there's girls
on the street. I'm like, someone would love to have
you on their arm.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
Got going?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I have heard, not that I go down there, but
they used to go to the La Sports are in
it just a little further past that on Figueroa.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
Yeah, that's a great place to look too.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, a lot of women who apparently have a lot
of clothing walking around.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
What's the definition of a bimbo? Isn't that like a
like a like actual sweet.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like it's bread, right, it's bread, yes, delicious white bread.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Bimbo bread for Mexico, I believe.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yes. See the trucks all the time.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
All right, what else do we have?
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Shane in the morning, white women at.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I guess the morn Loreina. Would you get a tattoo
or piercing if your man said it turned him on?
Kelly and I have a few tattoos and want a
few more.
Speaker 9 (34:03):
Not just because it's like he says, it turns them on,
definitely not. Tattoos are so like they're important to me.
They have to have a meaning, right, So I wouldn't
just get one and never tattoo your significant other's name
on you.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Never do that. That's a curse. Do not get your
significant others. It's a curse.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
Yes, And then you got to go get a cover
up tattoo, and I was like, who's who's Nicole some
stupid Yeah, No, we don't need that. It's bad energy,
and you're gonna have to think about her every time.
Me and my ex got matching tattoos of stick figure strippers,
and he almost got it covered up. He's like, I
think about you every time I look at my wrist,
which is all the time, think about that.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Wow, yeah, I don't look at my wrists all the time.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
I know you gotta check what time it is, ben.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, but I have't like a watch for that anyway.
Mad Jack writes in from Parts of Known, says, my
girl has anxiety issues so bad and nothing I do helps.
If anything, the things I say or do only give
her more anxiety. What should I do?
Speaker 9 (35:04):
You know, try and be thoughtful and understanding. I also
really like weighted blankets for when you have anxiety, because
I helpe you feel grounded. Maybe do a couple of
exercises online to see how you can help calm her
down in these situations whether and ask her what she needs?
Do you need space? Do you want comfort? Do you need, Like,
what's going to make you feel good in your anxiety?
(35:26):
Think about those dogs that shiver in the corner when
they have anxiety, Like it's a real thing. So try
and be understanding. That's so sweet of you, though, Look
at you thinking about your significant other?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yeah, thoughtful. Your listeners are just so great, ben.
Speaker 2 (35:40):

The Wingman Rights says, would a snake make a good
birthday gift for my significant other?
Speaker 8 (36:05):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (36:05):
If she loves drive tiles. I think snakes are great gifts.
They're so fun, They're interactive, they like to just hang
out and chill. They're kind of cuddly too, and you

I know Nick in Nebraska. He's delivered over ten thousand
(01:31):
pieces of mail over the years, and so he appreciates
the number ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
He's a big fan of the number ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So the lead this hour. We are going deep, deep
into the solar system. And something I don't often talk about,
Jerry's World. It's my favorite place to visit. I don't
know about your favorite place in the Milky Way, but
my favorite place.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Is Jerry's world.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
And if you ever got a sports talk radio show,
your replaced the visit would be Jerry's World. So we
follow the life in Times of America's team, the cinematic
drama trying to find a new head coach. If you
haven't heard the latest, maybe you're out playing in the snow, right.
A lot of people sending me pictures of the.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Snow and the video and the cold and all that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So maybe you're out enjoying the nice, nice January bombing conditions.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you enjoy the cold weather.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
So we've learned the Cowboys, the Dallas Cowboys have completed
an interview not with Dion Sanders. No no, no, no
no no. They've gone above Dion Sanders. They have completed
an interview with Brian Schottenheimer. Say what, yeah, Brian Schottenheimer
(02:44):
for the vacant head coaching job. We are told that
the interview took three and a half hours. What could
they possibly have talked about for three and a half hours.
I don't know about you. I've been in a few
job interviews over the years. None of them have lasted
three and a half hours. They sit down a wht cartoons.
What were they doing for three and a half hours?
I'd love to know. Anyway, If you look at the
(03:05):
big board, the big board, this marks not one, not two,
not three? How about number four? Number four is on
the door. That's the fourth interview you had. Kellen Moore
virtually Robert Salah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
More on him in a minute, and.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Leslie Fraser down goes Frasier, down, goes fras Now Dion Sanders,
a popular pick by popular people, is not on that
list despite conobling Now, would anyone be surprised if Jerry
has stealth bomber like interviewed Dion Sanders, he takes some
(03:48):
drone and flown over to Colorado. How to chat with Dean?
Nobody be shocked by that. But the the name of
the day, not to be confused with the soup of
the day or the special of the day of the day.
A la cart is Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys dining
al Fresco outside with Brian Schottenheimer, who was on the
(04:11):
Cowboy coaching staff. He was listed as the offensive coordinator,
but Mike McCarthy did all the heavy lifting, and he's
been considered for both the head coach, we are told,
and offensive coordinator positions in Dallas. So let us discuss
the question, how do you classify the latest reporting that
Jerry Jones has spoken and interviewed Brian Schottenheimer, the spawn
(04:37):
of Marty Schottenheimer, for.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The Cowboy coaching jobs.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
So I've got arcade, Mafia and tree hugger, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a clay Doll Gumby Gumby. You might
not know who that is, but popular back in the day,
(05:01):
all right, So A, you do not have to be
Jay Glazer or Adam Schefter to know that this name,
Brian Schottenheimer does not move the needle. Does not move
the needle, Like, what are we doing here? You're the
Dallas bleep and Cowboys. In fact, that name is so
(05:22):
disgusting it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Makes me want to puke in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Kellen Moore, Robert Sala, Leslie Fraser, and Brian Schottenheimer tell
me you're not even trying.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Without telling me you're not even trying, what are we doing.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Brian Schottenheimer is the kind of guy that the Colts
would hire or the ben Gals.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
He's a jack is what he is. Just a coach,
That's what he is.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Nothing special. Has over twenty years in the game. It's
good to be the son of an NFL coach. So
the younger shot and iron. Brian Schottenheim twenty years, over
twenty years coaching, he said, multiple stints with multiple franchises
as offensive coordinator, four different teams. None of them he
left the mark on. We used to goofind him when
he was with the Jets, but who doesn't. So he's
(06:05):
a nepotism baby. He's Bronnie James is what he is.
He's a nepo baby. Now Jerry is running this coaching
search like he's at the arcade. He's had a couple
of shots of whiskey or whatever. He's blindfolded and he's
playing the claw machine, and he's attempting to get the
(06:26):
big Stuffy to be the coach of the Cowboys. This conversation, well,
it's just you know, we'll talk, we'll talk about whatever's
going on here. But he's just like you're drawing a blank.
It's like, what are you doing? You know, even even
for due diligent purposes, it's bad for fan morale. Schottenheimer
has no business of being a head coach, not of
(06:47):
a glamour franchise, allegedly like the Cowboys. But it makes
no sense even to hire somebody were saying, well, they
just interviewed him to hire him as the offensive coordinator,
and that gets on your nerves soon. And I have
no skin in the game. I'm not a Cowboy fan,
but you follow the chain of command. You you hire
the head coach, and then the head coach. They're the
ones that pick the offensive cordator, not vice versa. It's
(07:09):
like you're counting your chickens before they hatch here, and
that's a bad job by you. So I understand. I'm
a Cowboy supporters. The Cowboy loyalists are going on a
wild ride here. They're being taken into.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
The Winnie the Pooh world.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And they are playing the role of e Or and
they're becoming even more miserable and pessimistic, pessimistic. They're like
the Donkey very much. So question everything, and you must
be a skeptic about all of of Jerry's plans. Is
he Is he really going to hire another sock puppet?
Is Dave Campbell's still around? Can they bring him back?
(07:46):
And they go back in the way back machine. Well,
the Clappers on TV every Sunday, they can bring him back.
Clap on, clap off the clapper. He's available. He's on
TV all right now, Page two. So elsewhere as we
spam the globe to bring you the latest on the
coaching care So, Mike McCarthy, did you see this? Mike
McCarthy supposed to interview with the Saints, but that was
(08:09):
delayed by the southern blast of cold, snowy weather that
hit the southern United States below the Mason Dixon line,
So Mike McCarthy's trip was delayed to the Bayou. However, however,
he is the betting favorite McCarthy to get the job
in now Leans. This after the Bears snashed Ben Johnson.
(08:32):
This is the only gig Mike McCarthy the only one
that Mike McCarthy has been prominently mentioned for or is
in even being considered for at this point.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now do you think do you think that Mike.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
McCarthy is nervous? Do you think he's nervous about being
shut out on this go round of.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The coaching cycle? So I will play psychologist, something that
we have to do when you have a talk show.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So I believe the concern level is very small, marginal, marginal.
Here's why, by all accounts, at this point when you
read the room, Mike McCarthy is still in the pole position. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
He was in the pole position for the Bears job
and then.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
He lost the race. He lost the race, but he
wasn't for a while. He was in the pole position there,
So you could lose this job too. Plus, and this
is the main point when you talk about Mike McCarthy,
is he's financially set eighteen years cartoon size NFL head
coach checks New Orleans is not a great job. It's
(09:41):
not the roster blows. It's a piecemeal organization. If Mike
McCarthy goes to a place like No Orleans and sucks
at a time, you cannot suck. Guess what, It doesn't matter.
He's a made man anyway. Whether he gets the job
or not. Success in the football world is a shirt.
(10:03):
He's a fully initiated member of the NFL Mafia, which means,
whether he gets this job or not, he'll either get
some no show, decently paying consulting job in the NFL
or or he'll draw a line over to some TV
job somewhere. My favorite now is a podcast. Everyone wants
(10:26):
to do audio content, and he can do a podcast.
But either way, he's going to get a gig that'll
pay him a decent amount while he treads water and
waits for another head coaching job to open up with
his name on it. All right, last word, we now
go to mean this salt. We peel back the onion
and we step further into the Viking ship, where coach
(10:47):
Kevin O'Connell has agreed to a multi die year contract extension.
Multi year contract extension avoiding ducktown status lame duck status.
He had one year left and he had made a.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Deal with the Devil.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
He was upset the Vikings wouldn't extend him last year,
so he ends up staying on the sidelines in the
Twin Cities.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So what is the life lesson?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
What is the life lesson of Kevin O'Connell's Vikings extension.
You're probably saying them out, there's no life lesson. You're
just talking out of your took us with the life lesson,
what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
But there is a life lesson here. There's a couple
of them.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Lesson number one, The playoffs don't matter, all right. The
Vikings absolutely embarrassed themselves. They ran into a hurricane in
their underwear. They were not prepared, They were not showing
any sense of urgency, even though they were down by
(11:49):
a gazillion points to the Rams, they were seemingly running
out the clock. And despite that and many people getting
on their soapbox saying what is Kevin O'Connell doing, clearly
the organization was just happy to make the playoffs, and
they were blaming it on Sam Darnold and not O'Connell.
On the Houdini act of exiting the playoffs stays left
(12:12):
against the Rams. Lesson number two, it's a teachable moment.
Lesson number two, Timing matters. Timing matters, and also being
an environmentalist, being a tree hugger matters, because when you're
a tree hugger, you have to plant trees or go
a very well timed leak, a very well timed league
(12:35):
from Kevin O'Connell's camp, whether it was his agent or
someone else to Jay Glazer right before the final Sunday
of the NFL season was going to kick off members
on the Fox pregame show, and Jay Glazer had the
story that there was a story that had been planted
inside Jay's phone, inside Jay's phone that the other NFL
(12:58):
teams were plotting to try a trade for Kevin O'Connell
and get him out of Minnesota. Oh man, that was
a big story. So that clearly a plant, right. That
fairy tale in the NFL pregame show was meant to
put some pressure on the Viking ownership, the people that
call the shots there, and it worked right spoiler alert,
(13:20):
It hit the center of the bullseye right there. Boom,
center shot bullseye. So Kevin O'Connell is signed, sealed and delivered.
All the teas have been crossed, the dyes have been added,
dotted on the on the the docu sign. So now
we'll see whether or not he has the Midas touch
(13:42):
or the Sadam Touch with JJ McCarthy, whether it's lost
in translation or better, days are ahead for the Minnesota
Vikings player that had a essentially a red shirt year. Right,
JJ McCarthy got hurt in play. I suppose he learned
while watching. We'll see if that pays pays off or not.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
But our lead from college football the day after Ohio
State basking and the after glow of beating Notre Dame
in the National Championship game back on Monday, Monday, Monday night,
and so they're still celebrating. Many people focusing in on
(15:35):
the return to glory for Ryan Day, the head coach
in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
He was under fire, under siege.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
After the Buck guys had lost to Michigan in the
regular season final.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's been well.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Documented how bad that loss was in Columbus, despite being
massive favorites.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
And now they've come back and won the championship.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So I don't know if you've been concerent doomed with
the chatter, the autopsy on how that happened, the blow
by blow and all of that. Perhaps not, But I
thought it was interesting. So Ryan Day was dragged through
the mud. Not fair. Now everyone's writing, Oh, it's not fair.
Oh blah blah blah bla blah blah.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Blah blah blah blah, bah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
After the loss to the Wolverines back in the end
of twenty twenty four, and so now he's got the
receipts and he can walk around like a peacock, and
clearly the storyline has changed. So let us discuss the question.
Let's get right to the meat of the matter. Does
Ohio State coach Ryan Day deserve to go on an
(16:42):
apology tour.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And get a.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Bunch of I'm sorry from the various critics. Does Ohio
State coach Ryan Day deserve an apology from the people
that were critical of his coach? So I've got stables, animaniacs,
and whistle stop and we will combine all of these
things together, and we are going to carve out of
(17:08):
a mountain. We're going to carve something out of a mountain.
So first of all, I'm shaking my head. No, I'm
shaking my head. No, Ryan Day does not deserve an
apology Ohio State. He deserved to be roast.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Okay, so he didn't deserve.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
The buddy was at the time that took place, that
was accurate criticism of Ryan Day. And that's how it works.
You went out, you bought your team, which is fine.
I don't have a problem. I like the Dodgers. They
buy their team. I'm happy with that. But when the
Dodgers don't win, they get ripped. Ohio State went out
tried to pay for a championship, and it looked like
(17:46):
it wasn't going to work out. They spend over twenty
million dollars, which for now is a lot of money.
In a few years it'll be one hundred million. But
they were favored by twenty and a half points at
one moment in time against the Michigan football team, So
they were almost three touchdown favorites. They were at home,
and they gagged. They suffocated, They choked. The Buck guys choked.
(18:08):
The moment was too big. They couldn't handle it. Michigan
had been so blah. But yet Michigan in that game
kept Ohio State's offense and checked the rivalry game. And
if you look at the last few years, I know
that was Jim Harball, but Michigan has dominated Ohio State
in recent years. And that's the game that matters more
than every other game for the Buck guys. We all
(18:29):
know that, even if you're not from Ohio or you're
not from Michigan, you know that Ryan Day had been
goofed on. But that goes with the real estate. See
that goes with the territory. You buy the land, you
get that on the land, that's part of the land.
And he's well compensated for his troubles. He makes over
ten million dollars a year, just got a million dollar bonus.
So with that million dollar bonus, I assume that Ryan
(18:51):
Day can afford to go down to the stables. Probably
has a big ranch, big plantation there. Go down to
your stables, and why don't you get one of those
many therapy horses and help manage your anxiety if this
is really an issue. You're expected to win titles at
Ohio State. You hadn't won a title at Ohio State
as the coach, and so you you don't need an
(19:14):
apology if you're Ryan Day, because you were held accountable.
That's the yin and the yang right to give and
the take, and that's how it works. And you might
not like that, but that's the way it works. And
now the other storyline about Ohio State is should Ryan
Day leave the buck Eyes because of the way the
fans were toxic towards him and his family, leave Ohio
(19:35):
State behind for the NFL.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
So this is one of those.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Cinderella stories, you know, run off and go to the
big Dance in the NFL. But at this point, there
is no indication that anyone from the NFL wants Ryan Day. Now,
it might be wrong on this, I don't know. I
just see the Overnight show. Maybe somebody will pop up
later today, is that we want Ryan Day. But at
this point, at this point, bupkiss right, So it does
(20:00):
take two to tango.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I don't think you can just give yourself a job.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't think Ryan Day can get on the phone
and call up the Jacksonville football team and say, hey,
i'd like them, I'd like to coach the Jags.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Can I do that? I don't think that's how that works.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
So, yeah, it's it's a nice thought to say he's
gonna run off and become a head coach in the NFL.
And he's been a coach working his way up and
then becoming a head coach for twenty five years. Out
of those twenty five years of coaching, he spent exactly
two years as a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Positional coach, not a coordinator.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Positional coach in the NFL, and outside of you look
around like Pete Carroll, Jimmy Johnson, most college coaches, it
has not worked out.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Now each situation is unique. Urban Meyer. He had a
very good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Time with the young ladies there at the bar, but
on the field didn't work out so well for Urban.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Secondly, we go to the wisdom of a voice of
college football, Joel Clatt, the Fox Sports commentator Joel Clatt
there got on his soapbox. He was not happy, not
pleased with the end of the college football season.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He went on a ran.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
He said, this is supposed to be the pinnacle of
our sport, meaning the championship game, the destination for every player, coach, fan. Clatt,
on his soapbox ranted, Yet somebody decided that playing the
national championship on a Monday night deep into the NFL
playoffs was a good idea. Clatt grumbled, the mismanagement of
(21:34):
college football has been egregious.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Close quote all right.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So Fox Sports college football pundit Joel Clatt.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Not even really implying. I think he just laid it
all out.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
For you that college football made a terrible mistake by
playing the national title game in essentially late January and
the NFL playoffs are going on. Are you going to
vote down or you're going to vote up on this?
You're gonna vote up or you're gonna vote down on
(22:08):
Joel Clatt saying that this was a terrible mistake by
the gods of college football. So I'm going to downvote
this take. I'm going to downvote this take. I disagree
with Joel Klatt. Times are a change in and Clatt
knows exactly who's responsible for this change. It's not exactly
(22:29):
like it's a secret. This is not some kind of
classified document.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
It's this is not a.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
National security issue here, he said, somebody decided to play
the national Championship game on Monday. B Well, we know
who that is. Two letters on the wheel of fortune.
Can I get a T and a V? Yes. TV
they're the ones that are omnipresent. They're the ones that
are the sugar daddy of college sports. They're the ones
(22:57):
calling shots. So it's not mismanagement. Is a cost benefit
analysis kind of obvious.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
It's kind of obvious.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
They they're the ones that pay the check, They buy
the games and all that TV, ESPN, ABC, everything's bigger
in twenty twenty five college football.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
It's the new world order of college football.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And it's much like animaniacs, the people that put the
TV together and college football. They get together, all right,
and they're like pinky in the brain and it's like pinky,
san gee, Brain, what are we gonna do tonight? And
brain responds with the same thing we do every night,
try to take over the world.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
It's scientifical. The people in charge who they try to
figure out.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
How many people can we get to watch, the biggest
audience we can get to watch. They crunch the numbers,
They put a ven diagram together and they determine what
is the optimal time, the date and time to play
these games. Get the biggest bang for their buck, the
biggest bang for their buck. Right, that's how you do it.
Can't compete with the NFL playoffs head to head, although
(23:59):
I mean if you could compete, you would play on
the weekend. You can't do that, So you gotta play
on a Monday night or a Thursday or whatever Friday,
so you schedule around those games. The NCAA players actually
benefits trickle down economics because more exposure brings higher ratings,
which means more money for advertisers, which means more money
will filter down to the players via nil deals because
(24:21):
the sponsors will want to be associated with the players
and more money in the free agency of college football.
There'll be a quiz on this later. It's not that hard,
all right, Final five. So we go now to Michael Vick.
He's the head coach. Now. Michael Vick, he was introduced recently,
is the head coach at Norfolk State. That's a school
(24:42):
you've never heard of in Virginia. Michael Vick says his
goal with Norfolk State coaching football there is to eventually
get a Power five job at a job at a
Power five school.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
So how does this play out?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
All right? The obvious thing he is you follow the
yellow brick road of Deon Sanders. The only reason Michael
Vick has a job is because of Deon Sanders. If
Deon Sanders had fallen on his face and there had
been no buzz with Deon Sanders, Michael Vick would not
be coaching Norfolk State.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
He wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Right, This is a whistle stop tour for Michael Vick,
and he's got the whistle in his mouth. He's got
an opportunity make something out of nothing. It was the
great P. T. Barnum, the man that pointed out the
importance of the Novelty Act, and without promotion foresaid, novelty act,
something terrible happens. You don't have promotion nothing. So whether
(25:38):
Michael Vick wins or not, his secondary Deon Sanders had
some success at Jackson State, but he wasn't God's gift
to coaching at Jackson State. But he built up a
lot of good karma, right, that was the most important thing,
and so he then ran off to Colorado and got
that job. Michael Vick, by coaching standards, is getting paid peanuts.
(26:00):
He's got a four year contract to coach football at
a school with really no budget and four hundred thousand
dollars annually the base salary at Norfolk State, which is
kind of like working at your first job at the
car wash or as a lifeguard during the summer. It's
(26:21):
a good starter job. Get your feet wet a little bit,
see where it goes. And Michael Vick is dating himself
because there is.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
No more Power five. I don't know if you heard about.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
This, but the PAC twelve was swallowed up. It was
eaten by the other conferences, so there is no more
power five. The PAC twelve is dead. There's no more
PAC twelve. So and really there's really the power two.
It doesn't sound as good to say the Power two.
Sounds cool to say Power five or Power four, but
it's really the Power two. It's the Big Ten, the
(26:52):
reigning champions of college football from Ohio State, and it's
the Southeastern Conference.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who did not make the championship.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's the list right there. Those are the two power conferences.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Now, the smart money says, if Michael Vick knows what
he's doing, and that's on one side of the diagram,
on the other side of the diagram, you've got the
Virginia Tech football program, and if they start floundering along here,
then there's a collision course where Michael Vick is uscending
and Virginia Tech is descending. And then there's the point,
(27:27):
the sweet spot.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Where they meet. And then when they meet, that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Presents opportunity for Michael Vick to end up coaching his
old school. That seems to be pointing in that direction.
If the Hokies do the hockey poke.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
And start winning, and then I'll screw things up.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Deon Sanders has not gotten the Florida State seminal job,
for example, although they have been not exactly taken off
there at Florida.

Speaker 6 (28:08):
Koberlok Cooper Cup spoke with reporters on Monday about his future,
and he said, I feel like I've got a lot
of good football left in me. I'll be playing football
next year, that much I know Ben. Will he be
playing it with the Rams?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well, he could be playing it with his kids, I
don't know, or kids in the neighborhood park. The indicators
are he will not be with the Rams next year.
The Rams haven't out on their contract. They'd have to
pay him if they keep him almost thirty million dollars
and he's a number two or number three receiver. He
was really a number three receiver this year. Poka Nakua
is clearly the number one guy, so they're not going
(28:41):
to pay him that Money's thirty two next season.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I say he's not a Ram next year next.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Former quarterback turned to analyst Chris Simms had an interesting
take on the Mark Andrews drop over the weekend. He said,
Mark Andrews needs to catch it. Don't get me wrong,
but Lamar Jackson making fifty five million a year, he
double clutched it and threw it like a dart. He
made it as hard as possible, as hard as it
could possibly be for a wide open touchdown.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Bet does he have a point?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah? I mean he's not. I've heard Boomersiasin said something similar.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I guess Sims.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
I mean these quarterbacksally like, well, he didn't fund he
wasn't fundamentally right, Lamar on that throw, I you know,
I'm not gonna get in the technical stuff. But yet
still Mark Andrew should have caught. But he was not
a perfect pass. But Andrew should he got to catch
the ball. I mean it bounced off his chest, for
God's sakes. I mean that's embar. It's like Baul bounced
off your face. What are you doing all right?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Next?
Speaker 6 (29:34):
John Calipari and Arkansas fell to zero to five an
SEC play Saturday, and an anonymous rival SEC coach said
the fear is gone and that the coach is becoming archaic.
Speaker 7 (29:44):
Ben, do you think the game has passed John Calipari?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
By no, He's just got to find better plays. He
would just overwhelm everyone at Kentucky and the other places
he's coached with raw talent. But now the other schools
have caught up. But he's just got to pay for
better players. I guess.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But it's I'm not gonna say's washed up?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
How did we do you pass?
Speaker 1 (30:02):

Dear Rye, you heard the man. It's time for love

questions we got tonight?
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Wow, we get a lot of questions. And snowing in
Bourbon Street.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
I love that.
Speaker 9 (30:45):
I wish I could have a little drink on Bourbon
Street in the snow with my snow boots and a scarf.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You like that so cute walk down Bourbon Street. I understand,
very nice. Well, it is the Queen of Hearts. These
are actual questions by actual listeners to the show. First
one comes from Ferg Dog and Dog how do I
convince women? Ferg Dog says that I'm not a big jerk.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
Well, first off, you have to stop being a big jerk.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Shots fired, Okay.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I mean.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
Whatever they perceive you as is obviously what you're being,
So you know, maybe you change up your rhythm movie.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Mike and Colorado writes and says, I recently had an
ex girlfriend contact me and ask me to donate the
seed of life.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
If you will here, so she could try to get pregnant.
Should I do that?
Speaker 8 (31:35):
That is so cool? I love that.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
I think it's an honor for someone who you have
dated in your past to hit you up, not for
anything besides the fact that they want your jeens because
you have such good genes, they liked you as a person.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Should he run that by his wife?
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Yeah, obviously maybe.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
And also you have to think about it like this too,
because if you actually do go through with it, that
kid's probably gonna want to know you later on in
their life, even if you're not involved in their childhood.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So yeah, and at some point with the DNA testing,
they will find.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
They will find you. So that's definitely something you'd have to,
you know, go have it.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
They'll have a chat.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
But if your wife was cool with that too, that'd
be really nice.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
All right. A cowboy killer writes and says lorraina queen
of hearts, would you ever give your significant other a
whole pass on a guys.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Or girls trip or spring break?
Speaker 5 (32:32):
One day?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
You know, Andre Carolinko, like one one day a year
you go out and go for it.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
No, I don't know, I I it depends, It depends.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
I'm going to say it depends.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
What does it depend on the situation and our relationship
and where we're at.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We've been married for a few years. You know things.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
If I can do it, you can do it. If
you can do it, I can do it. Are you okay?
If I do it? And if so, then everything's fine,
then we're good. Everything's fine, all right.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
King Roy says, I have a friend that is looking
for or a bimbo for a girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Do you have any recommendations.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
Looking for a bimbo for a girlfriend? I would go
walk the streets, man, see what you can find.
Speaker 9 (33:08):
And I know over there's this waffle house over a
couple of cities away here in California, and there's girls
on the street. I'm like, someone would love to have
you on their arm.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
Got going?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I have heard, not that I go down there, but
they used to go to the La Sports are in
it just a little further past that on Figueroa.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
Yeah, that's a great place to look too.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Yeah, a lot of women who apparently have a lot
of clothing walking around.
Speaker 8 (33:32):
What's the definition of a bimbo? Isn't that like a
like a like actual sweet.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like it's bread, right, it's bread, yes, delicious white bread.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Bimbo bread for Mexico, I believe.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yes. See the trucks all the time.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
All right, what else do we have?
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Shane in the morning, white women at.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I guess the morn Loreina. Would you get a tattoo
or piercing if your man said it turned him on?
Kelly and I have a few tattoos and want a
few more.
Speaker 9 (34:03):
Not just because it's like he says, it turns them on,
definitely not. Tattoos are so like they're important to me.
They have to have a meaning, right, So I wouldn't
just get one and never tattoo your significant other's name
on you.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Never do that. That's a curse. Do not get your
significant others. It's a curse.
Speaker 9 (34:18):
Yes, And then you got to go get a cover
up tattoo, and I was like, who's who's Nicole some
stupid Yeah, No, we don't need that. It's bad energy,
and you're gonna have to think about her every time.
Me and my ex got matching tattoos of stick figure strippers,
and he almost got it covered up. He's like, I
think about you every time I look at my wrist,
which is all the time, think about that.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Wow, yeah, I don't look at my wrists all the time.
Speaker 8 (34:43):
I know you gotta check what time it is, ben.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, but I have't like a watch for that anyway.
Mad Jack writes in from Parts of Known, says, my
girl has anxiety issues so bad and nothing I do helps.
If anything, the things I say or do only give
her more anxiety. What should I do?
Speaker 9 (35:04):
You know, try and be thoughtful and understanding. I also
really like weighted blankets for when you have anxiety, because
I helpe you feel grounded. Maybe do a couple of
exercises online to see how you can help calm her
down in these situations whether and ask her what she needs?
Do you need space? Do you want comfort? Do you need, Like,
what's going to make you feel good in your anxiety?
(35:26):
Think about those dogs that shiver in the corner when
they have anxiety, Like it's a real thing. So try
and be understanding. That's so sweet of you, though, Look
at you thinking about your significant other?
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Yeah, thoughtful. Your listeners are just so great, ben.
