Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh what is going on? Happy Friday morning to you.
Appreciate you checking out. The show had some fun tonight.
Heard from the Mallard militia, some good tweets, fantastic interaction,
heard from some old friends, very nice love all that. Okay,
So I started off the show and I really made
(00:21):
a discovery tonight, probably for the first time, I just
finally understood why it happens almost every NFL season where
the season ends and I'm like, I'm just counting down
to the next season, you know what I mean. I
can't wait for football to get here. Like, oh, man,
(00:43):
we got the draft, and that gets me energized for
the upcoming season. And I'm like, all right, man, look
at these draft picks for this team, and man, this
team took a step forward, and man, look out for
this other squad. And I'm off and running, you know.
And then I kind of hit a lull. Not that
I'm not looking forward to the season, it's just the
(01:04):
nature of the stories that I typically hear about, and
this offseason is no different. If you think about some
of the stories that are gonna get a lot of
attention right now, most of them won't get you excited
for the actual season, right, So you think about one
of the big stories that it broke on Thursday is
(01:26):
that the executive director of the NFL Players Association, Lloyd Howell,
is now the former executive director of the NFLPA. He
resigned late Thursday night, and so you're gonna hear about that.
The reason, just so you understand why he resigned, One
of the reasons is that there was a story that
(01:46):
came out from ESPN, a report that well, he's still
a paid consultant on a part time basis for a
group that is seeking minority ownership in NFL franchise. So
he's the executive director of the Players Association and meanwhile
he's a consultant for this group that's trying to be
(02:10):
a minority owner with an NFL franchise. There's player side
owner side, player side ownership side. You can't be both.
So that's why Lloyd Howell the main reason he's stepping down,
He's like, yeah, I think it's time for me to go.
So you're gonna hear a bunch about that, probably on
Thursday or on Friday. I mean, and it's not gonna
(02:33):
get you fired up for the upcoming season whatsoever. You
might hear something about Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick. I
talked about that earlier on the show tonight. I think
they're both competitive to a fault. But none of that
is gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. Either.
You're gonna hear about the Deshaun Watson contract and possible
(02:56):
collusion by the NFL and team owners is absolutely collusion.
You're gonna hear about that. That's not gonna get you
excited for the upcoming season. So the point is, I
think there comes a time where we start hearing all
these stories about, you know, NFL related activities. You're gonna
hear a bunch about second round players holding out, they
(03:19):
want guaranteed contracts, fully guaranteed second round contracts. It's not
gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. You're gonna
hear about Rashie Rice, the Chiefs wide receiver. He finally
got He finally received his sentence. He was driving almost
one hundred and twenty miles per hour, led to a
(03:40):
multi car pile up. So he gets thirty days in
jail and a five year probation sentence. He can serve
that jail time at any point over these next five years,
you're gonna hear about that story, and it's gonna do
nothing for you in terms of the upcoming season, if anything.
With Rashie Rice. Now that he's received his punishment, the
(04:02):
NFL can now punish him further. So I guess that
relates to real football. How many games he'll be suspended for.
That has a real layer to it. But a lot
of these stories, I didn't think about it like that,
and it makes sense, right, Maybe you're like me. The
NFL schedule is released and I'm like, oh, wow, look
at all these primetime games and this team scheduling. Whoa
(04:23):
look at the Lions road schedule. Yikes, that is freaking brutal.
And I'm thinking football, football, football, upcoming season. All that.
Then the draft roads around, same thing. Wow, look at
this team, man, this team, I don't know what they're thinking.
What's the impact of this guy on this squad? Yat
a real football excited for the season, and then there's
(04:44):
a bunch of this it's contract holdouts, it's this guy
signed for X amount of dollars. Okay, cool, yeah, all right.
Doesn't do anything for me. And that's why, after looking
forward to the NFL season for months, I sort of
hit this lull where I'm not looking forward to the
(05:05):
season in terms of like counting down the days. I
just kind of like am floating around, and then it
sneaks up on me and I'm like, holy cow, we
got the first game of the year is next week.
How did that happen? This is how it happens. It's
the nature of the stories that you keep hearing about,
and I think you just sort of like loose sight
(05:27):
of the upcoming NFL season. I never thought of it
like that, but I really do. I think the nature
of the stories has a lot to do with it.
A couple stories that caught my attention that actually do
get me excited for the upcoming season. So Bengals wide
receiver Jamar Chase, he said something that I see where
(05:50):
he's coming from, but I disagree with him. He said
that someone will have a two thousand yard receiving season
within the next three years. No one's ever done it before.
There hasn't been a two thousand yard receiving season in
NFL history. Jamar Chase came really close. He had a
(06:10):
fantastic season last year. He had over seventeen hundred receiving yards,
a lot of touchdown grabs you had. Tyreek Hill came
pretty close, but I don't think it'll happen. I'll say this,
if this was a prop bet, would you bet on
the yes or the no? Over the next three years,
(06:31):
there will be at least one player that has a
two thousand yard receiving season. I would bet on the no.
You can't go wrong betting on the no, right right,
I'm kidding, but you can't go very wrong betting on
then you're like no in sports betting. But I would
take no in this instance because the reason why is
(06:54):
we always talk about the running back position the same way,
but not the wide receiver position the way we talk
about rununning backs. A lot of teams they don't have that,
like Bell Cow running back. Yeah, there are exceptions like
the Eagle. Saquon Barkley was amazing last season. Dereck Henry
was outstanding with the Ravens. Those are the guys. Occasionally
(07:16):
you'll have the backup spell them here and there, but
they are by far getting the lion's share of the carries.
Saquon Barkley, including the playoffs, he had over four hundred
rushing attempts last season that is a ton, But more
times than not with running backs, it's running back by
committee in today's NFL, Right, we don't see that one
(07:41):
bell cow lead dog running back who's getting the lion's
share of the carries. We don't see that, and so
that's why it's harder for running backs to stack huge numbers.
It's more a committee approach or a two headed monster approach.
It's becoming more like that with wide receipt if you
start looking around the league, I mean it's rare that
(08:05):
you find a team where it's like, all right, they've
got this one stud and a bunch of really mediocre
wide receivers around him. So the stud is just getting fed.
It's target city, throw, throw, throw his way, right, It's
typically not like that. Look at Jamar Chase on his team.
He's got T Higgins, another highly paid, very good wide receiver.
(08:29):
T Higgins had over nine hundred yards receiving last season.
If T Higgins isn't in Cincinnati, it's a give and
take type thing. Yeah, that that might take a little
production away from Jamar Chase because you can roll coverage
that way. There are a lot of things defensively you
can do to now try to limit Jamar's effectiveness. But
(08:53):
when you have Tea on the field, he's gonna get
his targets, he's gonna get his catches, he's gonna get
his yards. He's gonna take some of that production away
from Jamar Chase. It happens often in the NFL. So
while we talk about running back by committee, it's oftentimes
wide receiver by committee too. Some of these teams have
(09:14):
a great wide receiver and they have a tight end
who takes a lot of targets and a lot of
production away from the number one wide receiver. So for
those reasons, I think the odds are better than not
that we're not going to have a two thousand yard
receiving season over the next three years. I think it's
a crazy take. It could certainly happen, but I would
(09:36):
bet against it happening. I would go no, if that's
a prop bet that's offered. This is gonna sound silly,
but honestly, one of the things that gets me, I'm
not like jumping out of bed like, oh man, I
can't wait for the NFL season now because of these stories.
(09:57):
But they at least do more for me to look
forward to the NFL season. Then a lot of this
stuff that, oh, second round picks are looking for fully
guaranteed deals. It's like, all right, cool, yeah, it's that
does nothing to get me energized for the twenty twenty
five season to roll around, you know what I mean.
(10:18):
So while these stories don't captivate me and fully get
me jump started, right, they do more than a lot
of these other stories do. It's the alternate uniforms. Yes,
I'm an NFL sicco. But Tampa Bay I didn't realize this.
So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're gonna break out the
classic white and creamsickle road uniforms this season. It'll be
(10:42):
the first time in about fifty years they've worn these things. Now,
I didn't realize because I'm like, wait a minute, correct
me if I'm dead wrong, But I swear Baker Mayfield
and Mike Evans they've worn the creamsickle throwback uniforms recently. Right, Like,
am I crazy? Am I just dreaming this?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
They have?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But I glossed over it. This is the classic white
and creamsicle road uniforms. Right, So these are mostly white uniforms.
The numbers are like the creamsicle flavor and all of that.
So they're gonna wear them against the Jets in their
home opener. This is gonna be the fiftieth season the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so they're gonna wear the white creamsicle
(11:30):
road uniforms against the Jets on September twenty first. Actually, no,
I get that wrong. I'm dead wrong. That's weird. So
they're wearing the classic white and creamsicle road uniforms for
their home opener. That's kind of weird, but whatever, that's
what they're doing. And also the Falcons. Falcons are gonna
(11:51):
wear throwback uniforms three times this year, so they're rocking
the red helmets. It's a sharp look. I love the
red helmet throwback uniform for the Falcons. They're gonna wear
it three primetime games. One of them is, let's see,
it's a Monday night home game against the Bills in
week six. They got the Thursday night road game against
(12:11):
Tampa in week fifteen, and then there's a Monday night
game against the Rams in week seventeen, so they're gonna
be rocking the red helmets. Apparently they were three and
oh rocking the red helmets. Last year they were five
and nine in their other games. But I'll tell you, man,
it might sound like wow, Brian Slow Newsday, huh jeez,
you always get that. It's like, no, man, there's plenty
(12:33):
of stuff to talk about. But that's I guess that's
kind of how desperate it gets these these time these
at these times where a lot of the stories about
the NFL do nothing to get me excited for the
upcoming NFL season. And I never really thought about that.
(12:54):
That just it accumulates. If you're an NFL fan, you're
paying attention to this stuff, and subconsciously, I think it's
getting you less and less enthused for the upcoming season,
to the point where I'm just not counting it down.
I'll see these things on X or whatever. They'll tweet
it out like hey, ninety five days until kickoff or
(13:17):
whatever like that, and there just becomes a lull where
I'm like, man, I can only hear about second round holdouts,
the executive director of the Players Association resigning. You know,
I can only hear about this stuff so much before
I'm just yawning and like say, this does nothing for
me as far as the upcoming season is concerned. I
(13:38):
never thought about it like that until now, but I'm
sure there are some of you listening that probably feel
the exact same way. All Right, eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is your phone number. Feel free to
hit us up. Meller Militia always love hearing from you.
Also on X at the No Show if you want
to hit me there. Okay, So we've got Coop Scoops
coming up pretty soon. And also I saw a list.
(14:04):
I saw a column in terms of overrated and underrated teams,
and I just wanted to throw throw out what some
of this writer was talking about. I agree with some stuff,
disagree with other things, but something to keep on your radar.
We'll compare notes coming up. I'm Prian no In for
Big Ben Maller right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (14:22):

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian no In for
Big Ben Mahler. Is it okay? You know? I have
I love me some dua lipa? And uh is that
on similar footing? She's a very tall woman, very very
tall woman, that dua lipa over there? But uh, is
it okay to let you let the people know about
(15:23):
Rick Ross and you? Is that alright? Lorena?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Oh yeah, I definitely have a thing for Rick Ross.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
For sure have a thing for Rick Ross.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I could also get it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, nice, very nice? I thought, Uh, you meant Jeff
Ross the roast master.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Oh, he's so good at roasting. He's like the main
guy in every roast beef. But this is a roast,
you know, when they're just like, you know, like the
Tom Brady roast and everybody's talking trash about Tom Brady. Yeah,
they're mean on purpose, and then they say something very
nice at the very end like it undoes all the
(15:59):
mean things. But Jeff Ross, he's the roast master. But
I doubt you have him in the Rick Ross category.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Now let me go look him up.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Coop knows. Yeah, but very nice. Well,
love for Rick Ross over there from Lorena. Very good,
very good. Okay, so we got Coop scoops coming up,
and just about five minutes from now, I'll get to
the militia here in a second, if anybody wants to
check in. But I saw this list on the Athletic
(16:31):
Mike Jones put this list together of who he thinks
are four overrated NFL teams this season and who are
four underrated teams in the NFL this season. So his
list for the overrated teams, he has the Bills, the
forty nine Ers, the Lions, and the Bengals. Now I
(16:55):
would disagree with his Bengals selection there for these reasons.
Oh wow, we got a lot of the Oh holy cow,
the militias are lining up. We got to power through
some of these in a second. Okay, I'll be quick.
I disagree with him putting the Bengals on the underrated
list just because, listen, people struggle with this all the time.
(17:17):
Like to be a candidate to be overrated, people have
to be talking you up. They have to be waxing, poetic.
Who is saying, hey, look out for the Bengals man
their sucky defense and whatever they're doing with Shamar Stewart
over there, not signing their first round rookie, who was
talking about maybe going back to school at Texas A
and M look out for the Bengals. Who's saying that.
(17:40):
No one is saying that. So they're not a good
candidate to be overrated. Now the other three are good candidates. Bills, Niners, Lions.
I hear a lot of positive comments about those teams.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The Lions have been doubted a decent amount. Their road
schedule is brutal. Their schedule overall is really really tough.
So I have heard some some skeptics, but there are believers.
I hear a lot of positivity about the Niners because
they have a cake schedule, and of course a lot
of positivity about the Bills. Of those teams, who do
(18:18):
you think is going to turn out to be overrated?
I would say it's the Niners. The Niners have a
lot of turnover, They lost a lot of defensive players,
a lot of contributors. You know, Trent Williams, he only
played ten games last season. They're left tackle. Christian mccaffery's
supposed to be back and looking great, but he only
played four games last season. Significant injury. When you're talking
(18:40):
like achilles tendonitis, that's a serious deal. So I just
don't I don't believe in the Niners. They have a
cake schedule, should win a bunch of games, but I
think they're going to be fools gold. I just I
don't think the roster is nearly as good as it
was their GM. John Lynch said, hey, we had to
(19:02):
get younger and a little bit cheaper. Yeah, because you're
paying Brock Purty huge money, Like they gotta do that. Sure,
I just don't think Brock Purdy is a guy who
can compensate for a weaker roster. It's a good quarterback,
but he's not a dude that's just going to say, hey,
we've got like a second rate right tackle, or we've
(19:22):
got a you know, a second rate wide receiver, cheaper here,
cheaper there. That's okay, I got you. I don't think
he's that guy.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The underrated portion of this and I'll get to the
militia real fast. Underrated. He's got Chargers, Cowboys, Cardinals, Jags.
He says, hey, Leam Cohen's over that. Maybe he can
do for Trevor Lawrence what he did for Baker Mayfield
and Tampa. That's the reasoning they went out and got
Travis Hunter. You know, I like the Cardinals on this list. Myself,
(19:53):
I've gone out. It's my curveball prediction. I have the
Cardinals winning the NFC West. I just think off defensively,
pretty decent offensive line, Marvin Harrison Junior if he takes
a big step forward, love Trey McBride, fantastic tight end.
Kyler Murray is a good quarterback. I think Kyler Murray is.
You tell me Brock Purty is way better than Kyler Murray,
(20:15):
and I'll say, no, you're wrong. I think he's way
better than Kyler Murray. I think they're very, very comparable.
You give Kyler Murray what Brock Purty enjoyed supporting cast
Wise the last two seasons. Kyler Murray is putting up
big numbers. You play Brock Purty with Arizona the last
couple of years. I don't think Brock party is putting
up the same numbers. I just don't. I think Kyler
(20:35):
Murray's good enough. And I think what they've done defensively,
like some of their draft picks, some of their free
agent moves. Jonathan Gannon, you know, doubled their win total
over the last two years. I think the Cardinals arrow
is still pointed up. I think that's a good selection. Underrated.
All right, let me go to the phones. Here, the
militia is lining up. I think we've got Chris in Massachusetts.
(20:58):
All Star take real quick, Chris, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
What's up?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
And I'll be fat because I know you got a lineup.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
But I loved Brian.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
I love your takes now as great as Ben's just kidding,
but I do love your takes. But the cake earlier
when I got in the car about the All Star
Game with people dropping out, But when.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
I was young, a young boy. I'm fifty five, so
we love the All Star Game. The reason I love
the All Tar Game because you never saw the nl
NL teams and that was what made it special. Yeah,
And what was great Gary Queen used to have these
helmets in their ice cream and their Sunday I'd always
go out to Marc and Brewers, the Cincinnati Reds, the
Red Sox of course, and it.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Just it's nostalgia for me.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Now it's not there.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
And lastly, Brock Colet, who was a Red Sox in
utility infielder, made the All Star Game a few years
back and that was the joke of the town here.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, no, good call, Chris, good stuff. Appreciate that. Yeah,
I remember the old school, like ice cream helmets. I
loved collecting those things for sure. And you're right, it's
changed so much. It used to be really really special
because this was before interleague play. This was the only
time you would see outside of the World Series al
(22:13):
players play against NL players and listen, it's changed. I
like interleague play, but that's one of the drawbacks is
you don't have that special All Star feel anymore. And
a lot of things have changed. You've got a million
channels now, you had like three way back in the day,
and so for baseball to be on it was a
big deal. Things have changed, you know, So it happens.
(22:36):
Let me go to Mark in the North End. Okay, interesting, Mark,
you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Hey, Brian how's it going good, Bud? So earlier you
mentioned in your last segment how as soon as football
and you're doing the countdown for the next season to start, right,
Uh huh?
Speaker 11 (22:54):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Why is it that you know, all these people that
loved football so much and miss the fellow as soon
as it's over. They can't get enough football? The UFL
stops and there's nobody at these games, like not like
the standard, like almost completely empty. Where are all the
people that love football so much?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, they love the NFL, you know, they love college football.
They don't love the UFL. That would be like saying
for anyone who loves music like you love music, and uh,
what's what?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
What genre of music do you like the most?
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Mark?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I have a wide genre actually, okay, I don't like
it's like heavy metal pretty much.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Oh you're killing me, Mark, that's my go to it. Okay, Well,
what are you no? It's okay, it's all right. We
still cater to the non heavy metal folk. We just
judge them behind their back, Loren. That's what we do.
That's what we do. What Mark was Okay, so you're
a rock guy. What are you into?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I mean, I love I love you know what today's
music sucks. To be honest with you, I'm a seventy
eight nineties guy.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Okay, in rock or what like. It's a wide run.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
I like all these disco, hip hop rap okay, but
of those years not now?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
All right, fair enough, that's fine, Okay. So imagine it
like you're this music lover, you know what I mean,
and you can see a legendary rapper, you can see whatever,
the main dude from that era, and you're in concert,
and then all of a sudden, you could see right
after that guy one of the worst rappers in town.
(24:33):
It's not the same thing. It's not the same product.
Like the NFL is the great rapper, the UFL is
the sad like disaster of an up and coming rapper.
There's a clear difference. It's not just yeah, I hear
what you're saying. It's not just where football junkies put
anything in front of us and we're gonna eat it up.
It's not like that.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
With that being said, how long do you give the UFL?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I hope it sticks around, man. I love this stories.
I love that those dudes are trying to, you know,
keep their dream alive and maybe make it to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
But to get to the NFL, yeah, they they had.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Like the Lions Kicker made it, you know. There They're
gonna be a couple of guys here and there that
make it to the NFL. But it's not going to
be this viable money making product. And it always comes
back to that. So welfully they can still make it,
but the days might be numbered. Man, gotta make a buck.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
The NFL doesn't have a hand in that, do they.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know, I'm not positive. I don't think so, but
I can't tell you for sure, Mark, I'm not positive.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
About them, the XFL and the USFL.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Right like, if it was say like the g League
of the NBA, if this was an NFL product, then yeah,
it's going to be around. If they want it to
be sort of like a feeder or a minor league,
then yeah it would. It'd have a chance.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
But one that asked the question because I lean forwards
more the NHL being the greatest game on Earth. But
that's just my opinion.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What All Star or just game in general.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
The NHL just hockey in general, okay, country, And I
don't think nothing beats playoff hockey. Anything beats playoff hockey.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Well, hey, man, if that's your cup of tea, that's fine.
I mean you don't like heavy metal, Mark, so your
credentials are shaky at best. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
You know I could deal with I read something.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Okay, that's good. That's better than none. Well, good stuff.
I appreciate talking to you, Mark. That was fun, very nice.
All right, we've got Coop scoops over do we have
a fancy intro and everything and we just start playing
music here.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Coop, we can we can go to Marcel and have
him with intro.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh, let's do that, Marcel and Brooklyn is here to
give Coop a fancy intro. I love this idea. What's
going on, Marcel?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Nothing much as it's always getting ready there miss and
yes do you all miss me? Why bet you are.
I'll be back on Monday and again on Wednesday when
my man big Ben is back. But in the meantime
it's Friday. They got it Friedday, Fried Day. And yes,
(27:14):
the Coop Scoop on entertainment all right for Hollywood starts
right now and here, Jo.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Man, very well done. Marcel loved that.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yes, I mean you got Marcel.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You gotta deliver now, Coop.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
That's right. Hey, he he always he always throws to
this segment.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
That's very nice.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Uh, So we're gonna start off in the theaters like
we always do. And uh, a couple of movies out
this weekend of note. The first is and then stop
me if you've heard of this movie before. Okay, it
is called I Know What You Did Last Summer?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh my gosh, another one of these things.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That's right now.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
I thought it was a reboot when I initially saw
like the uh, the posters for it.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But then i'm I saw the I went to the
movie theater today and I went and saw. I went
saw twenty eight years later, the zombie movie.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
How was that?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I liked it? It was good.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Okay, But I saw a trailer for I Know What
You Did Last Summer and I saw Jennifer love Hewitt
in the trailer and she was in the original.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
So I don't think it is a reboot.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I mean, like.
Speaker 10 (28:26):
It seemed like they would like well then, right, I guess.
I guess, but it's later on in life. Yeah, but
I don't know they're calling it a reboot. It's it's
not called it not you did last summer too. It's
just it's got the same title. But I don't know,
it looks it's one of those movies where as of
right now, the critics have not enjoyed it, but audiences,
(28:48):
but audiences have. It's got thirty seven percent score from
the critics, seventy two percent from audience. So you know,
it's one of those slasher movies where it's just it's
just fun. It's a you know, it's it's not cinema.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Who doesn't love a good slasher movie exactly.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
The other movie out this weekend that I wanted to
point out is called Eddington, Okay, and this one's got
a star studed cast. It's got Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro, Pascal Grimes. Yeah,
so lots of lots of big names in here. Austin,
Austin Butler's in at Amma Stone. And it is kind
of a modern a modern Western.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Hmmm.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
So this is what it says the some reason the
may of in May of twenty twenty, a standoff between
a small town sheriff and a mayor sparks a powder
keg as a as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington,
New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Wow, and uh, what's the uh? I keep on seeing
these previews for one of the dudes is in another movie?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Is it the Austin guy, Austin Butler?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes? Yeah, what's the other movie where he's like swinging
a baseball.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Back stealing, caught stealing?
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Does that interest you at all?
Speaker 6 (30:03):
It does?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You know?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I will, I'll probably check it out. It's got Zoe
Kravitz in it. I like Austin Butler, I imagine you do.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
How about the dude from Game of Thrones that's in
Eddington as well? You know, you know the guy I'm
talking about, Coop. I don't off the top, you would
know where he's like you blanked her, you something her,
you killed her or whatever. And then like the Mountains. Oh,
Pedro Pascal, Yeah yeah, Pedro Pedro's in freaking every Yeah,
(30:36):
my gosh.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
He's literally like the number one actor right now. Oh
for sure, he's even above Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
He literally seems to be in everything. It's wild. He's
had a great run. He's in the like that what
was it the Apple commercial where he's dancing. He's in commercials,
in movies and doing all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah, he's he's in that movie that's out right now.
He's gonna be in Fantastic four coming out and uh
think next week or a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, crazy, Yeah, just he.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Just finished the Last of Us season two.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
The guy's the guys and everything. I mean, I enjoyed
Petro Pascal. He's a good actor.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He is a really good actor.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
Moving on to television, we have a new limited series
on Netflix. It is called Untamed and it stars Eric
Banna as a special agent for the National Park Service
who begins an investigation of a brutal death at Yosemite.
It is a six part thriller and that is available
(31:35):
on Netflix right now.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, great actor, Yes, this is a great job.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
It The death soon reveals secrets of the park and
his own past.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I do love Eric Banna in Blackhawk Down. Had a
nice role in that movie, Coop, you know what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
I haven't seen that movie though, like since around when
it came out.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Oh wow, okay, it's been a while. Yeah, you have
to familiarize yourself.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I know I have to.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I have to rewatch that for sure.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
But last, but not least, we have the return of
an Apple TV Plus show that I'm a big fan of.
It's called Acapulco and I believe this is season four, yes,
season four of this show.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
If you haven't watched this before, it's a.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
It's a nice, like heartwarming coming of age comedy that
takes place in a resort in Mexico. And uh, it's
a it's a dual language TV show, but it's it's
really good.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
It's a it makes you, it makes you smile. It's
a good show.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Okay, I'm just laughing at myself.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I apologies to the great city of Acapulco. I suck
at spelling, my gosh. Like when the Google's like, are
you trying to apocalyptic? Are you going for apocalypse? I'm like, no,
I'm not going for any of those things. And I'm like, oh, okay, wow,
I was way off, not even close.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
My gosh.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's just sad right there. But you like that it's
a good TV show there.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
Yeah, it definitely gets a recommendation from me. I have
seen all the all the seasons leading up to now.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Okay, you recommend any of these summer movies I haven't
seen a ton. I've maybe seen one of the main
summer movies. Anything you've seen that you highly recommend.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
I mean, look, I saw I saw Jurassic Park or
or how was it or Jurassic World Rebirth or whatever
they're calling it. Look, I mean it's uh, it's dinosaurs
and cool deaths, and I feel like that's really all
you can expect from a Jurassic movie these days. I
(33:50):
have not seen Superman yet. I am planning on seeing
that this weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, I'm gonna go see Superman.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
This Sea How to Train Your Dragon was great, really great? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, wow.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
How about is it Scarlett Johansson that's in Jurassic Park
or whatever the new one is. How do you feel
about Scarlet? You have a big crush on Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
There, Coop, Oh, she's she's an alzheimer Okay, ye're.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Where's she on the uh the Jennifer Lawrence Sydney Sweeney
scale for you?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Well, she's not in the same realm as either of
those two women.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The utter, the laugh before that precent Appaulch, I mean, gosh,
that's that's rarefied air right there. We're not even in
the ballpark.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Was starting you just named like two of the three goats.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, I know on your list you have them. Is
there anybody else that you have in that? Like just Vicinity.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Angelina you do, okay? And like Prime Angelina?
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Prime?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Not right now?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What is she now? Withered? Go back twenty five years,
he'll take that.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
One look and look she's she is still a beautiful lady.
But you know there are other actresses that have the
age better. No, not one movie where she's trying to
be young again, be her younger self. It just got
like a Grammy nomination. A Grammy nomination. Yeah that's for music. No, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
An Oscar?
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Then what's her name? I don't know, not cares. I've
not your idea, have no idea what you're talking about?
I have no idea anyway. That's Coop Scoop on entertainment.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Good stuff. Stuck the landing with an assist from Lorena.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It is outstanding.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
It's gonna come to.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Me okay later, All right?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Good?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Well, we got you know, about five minutes left, so
there's time. Got a whole break for googling, you know,
So we'll pay that off, we'll get to the militia,
we'll fire through as many calls as we can. And also,
this is not going to become a growing trend. I
don't believe very quick one minute sports take from yours
(36:07):
truly around the corner as well. I'm Brian no In
for Big Ben Malor. Keep it locked right here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports Radio
dot com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to
listen live Brian no In for.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Big Ben Malor here on Fox Sports Radio. I think
it'd be funny if, like Lorena and I are in
a fist fight for dua lipa. You know, that would
be a be a funny video that Cooper.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
I think we'd have to fight.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Brian, were you just saying you got this first? Oh really? Okay, okay,
fair enough? That'd be an interesting, uh you know video
from Coop just hey, I saw these two fist fighting
each other for the right to Yeah, okay, I'm gonna
get to the militia here very quick. I promise you
(37:02):
a one minute take. So this is it. Put the
start the clock right now. So a Chargers wide receiver
Mike Williams he's decided to retire after eight NFL seasons.
He walks away at the age of thirty, and listen,
this isn't I think what we like a scarecrow topic.
I'm not creating something just to you know, go back
(37:25):
and forth with air or something. But this happens quite
a bit. I don't think it's happening right now. But
when someone leaves the game at like thirty years old,
a lot of people be like, is this gonna be
the norm? Is this the way it always goes? No, man, like,
this is not gonna become the norm. There're gonna be
some players that retire early. Mike Williams was banged up
quite a bit, and there're gonna be some players here
(37:47):
and there that retire the game early but are from
the game early. But I don't think this is gonna
be a thing where players like in Droves are gonna
be retiring early. I think it's just just a casual case,
spike case thing. Some dudes walk away early, and more
power to him, make your money. Depending on your position,
you walk away good quality of life for better quality
(38:09):
of life, not as many injuries. So I hope it
works out for Mike Williams but steps away after eight years.
All right, that was quick, about a minute right there
on the nose. Let's go fast. Let's go to Ned
in Milwaukee. I got to take on Lillard here, only
a couple of minutes here, Ned, But try to go
quickly for us, if you would, Bud.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Okay, yeah, can you break down Damian Lellard's new contract
going back to Portland from Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah, it's just three years, forty two million bucks for
the Blazers, and I believe that offsets the money that
he's due from the Bucks, like they wouldn't be on
the hook for that much money. They're on the hook
for the rest of it though, But.
Speaker 9 (38:47):
He does have to sit out the first year due
to the injury.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Though, right, Yeah, yeah, he won't be active for that
first year rehab it.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
So technically speaking, you're getting paid by both both team.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Still, no, I think it offset I okay, Yeah. What
I read like a couple of weeks ago was that
the Bucks wouldn't have to pay what he earns in
another contract from another team. So I believe they're off
the hook for forty two million bucks of the whatever
like one thirteen that they owe them. I believe that's
the way it breaks down. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Wow, that's crazy. Oh thanks, thanks a lot for breaking
that down for me.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You got it, ned, good stuff, man. We got Rob
in Maine. He's on Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Rob?
Speaker 9 (39:29):
Hey, Yeah, I'm talking about here. You're talking earlier about
the two thousand yards receiver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not
going to happen. I got billions of dollars on that one, brother,
Because the NFL keeps shortening the field, They're going to
be doing half court here for too long. You know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You know that's a good point, right, the kickoffs, the
touchbacks come back to the thirty five now, so yeah,
I mean that adds up. The little thing's add up.
Speaker 9 (39:50):
Sure, Oh sure, fifteen over seventeen games not gonna happen,
all Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah right Rob, No, good stuff, man, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
All right?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Thirty seconds, Blind Scott, You gotta go quick, buddy, but
we love you. What's on your mind, Blind Scott?
Speaker 11 (40:04):
Oh yeah, remember Dandy called in about the garbage strike
when you were on last it's still going on now, but.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Oh my gosh, it's still going on. How long has
this been?
Speaker 11 (40:14):
It's been since you were on last it started. Dude,
we could have made so much money if you came
here with the U haul, we could have picked up garbage.
There's all these cowboy and Indian garbage. There's don't been
trashed everywhere.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
They gotta they gotta give the garbment good stuff. Blind
Scott appreciate that. By the way, Loreno was trying to
think of Demi Moore in the substance We've yeah, we've
done everything
Oh what is going on? Happy Friday morning to you.
Appreciate you checking out. The show had some fun tonight.
Heard from the Mallard militia, some good tweets, fantastic interaction,
heard from some old friends, very nice love all that. Okay,
So I started off the show and I really made
(00:21):
a discovery tonight, probably for the first time, I just
finally understood why it happens almost every NFL season where
the season ends and I'm like, I'm just counting down
to the next season, you know what I mean. I
can't wait for football to get here. Like, oh, man,
(00:43):
we got the draft, and that gets me energized for
the upcoming season. And I'm like, all right, man, look
at these draft picks for this team, and man, this
team took a step forward, and man, look out for
this other squad. And I'm off and running, you know.
And then I kind of hit a lull. Not that
I'm not looking forward to the season, it's just the
(01:04):
nature of the stories that I typically hear about, and
this offseason is no different. If you think about some
of the stories that are gonna get a lot of
attention right now, most of them won't get you excited
for the actual season, right, So you think about one
of the big stories that it broke on Thursday is
(01:26):
that the executive director of the NFL Players Association, Lloyd Howell,
is now the former executive director of the NFLPA. He
resigned late Thursday night, and so you're gonna hear about that.
The reason, just so you understand why he resigned, One
of the reasons is that there was a story that
(01:46):
came out from ESPN, a report that well, he's still
a paid consultant on a part time basis for a
group that is seeking minority ownership in NFL franchise. So
he's the executive director of the Players Association and meanwhile
he's a consultant for this group that's trying to be
(02:10):
a minority owner with an NFL franchise. There's player side
owner side, player side ownership side. You can't be both.
So that's why Lloyd Howell the main reason he's stepping down,
He's like, yeah, I think it's time for me to go.
So you're gonna hear a bunch about that, probably on
Thursday or on Friday. I mean, and it's not gonna
(02:33):
get you fired up for the upcoming season whatsoever. You
might hear something about Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick. I
talked about that earlier on the show tonight. I think
they're both competitive to a fault. But none of that
is gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. Either.
You're gonna hear about the Deshaun Watson contract and possible
(02:56):
collusion by the NFL and team owners is absolutely collusion.
You're gonna hear about that. That's not gonna get you
excited for the upcoming season. So the point is, I
think there comes a time where we start hearing all
these stories about, you know, NFL related activities. You're gonna
hear a bunch about second round players holding out, they
(03:19):
want guaranteed contracts, fully guaranteed second round contracts. It's not
gonna get you excited for the upcoming season. You're gonna
hear about Rashie Rice, the Chiefs wide receiver. He finally
got He finally received his sentence. He was driving almost
one hundred and twenty miles per hour, led to a
(03:40):
multi car pile up. So he gets thirty days in
jail and a five year probation sentence. He can serve
that jail time at any point over these next five years,
you're gonna hear about that story, and it's gonna do
nothing for you in terms of the upcoming season, if anything.
With Rashie Rice. Now that he's received his punishment, the
(04:02):
NFL can now punish him further. So I guess that
relates to real football. How many games he'll be suspended for.
That has a real layer to it. But a lot
of these stories, I didn't think about it like that,
and it makes sense, right, Maybe you're like me. The
NFL schedule is released and I'm like, oh, wow, look
at all these primetime games and this team scheduling. Whoa
(04:23):
look at the Lions road schedule. Yikes, that is freaking brutal.
And I'm thinking football, football, football, upcoming season. All that.
Then the draft roads around, same thing. Wow, look at
this team, man, this team, I don't know what they're thinking.
What's the impact of this guy on this squad? Yat
a real football excited for the season, and then there's
(04:44):
a bunch of this it's contract holdouts, it's this guy
signed for X amount of dollars. Okay, cool, yeah, all right.
Doesn't do anything for me. And that's why, after looking
forward to the NFL season for months, I sort of
hit this lull where I'm not looking forward to the
(05:05):
season in terms of like counting down the days. I
just kind of like am floating around, and then it
sneaks up on me and I'm like, holy cow, we
got the first game of the year is next week.
How did that happen? This is how it happens. It's
the nature of the stories that you keep hearing about,
and I think you just sort of like loose sight
(05:27):
of the upcoming NFL season. I never thought of it
like that, but I really do. I think the nature
of the stories has a lot to do with it.
A couple stories that caught my attention that actually do
get me excited for the upcoming season. So Bengals wide
receiver Jamar Chase, he said something that I see where
(05:50):
he's coming from, but I disagree with him. He said
that someone will have a two thousand yard receiving season
within the next three years. No one's ever done it before.
There hasn't been a two thousand yard receiving season in
NFL history. Jamar Chase came really close. He had a
(06:10):
fantastic season last year. He had over seventeen hundred receiving yards,
a lot of touchdown grabs you had. Tyreek Hill came
pretty close, but I don't think it'll happen. I'll say this,
if this was a prop bet, would you bet on
the yes or the no? Over the next three years,
(06:31):
there will be at least one player that has a
two thousand yard receiving season. I would bet on the no.
You can't go wrong betting on the no, right right,
I'm kidding, but you can't go very wrong betting on
then you're like no in sports betting. But I would
take no in this instance because the reason why is
(06:54):
we always talk about the running back position the same way,
but not the wide receiver position the way we talk
about rununning backs. A lot of teams they don't have that,
like Bell Cow running back. Yeah, there are exceptions like
the Eagle. Saquon Barkley was amazing last season. Dereck Henry
was outstanding with the Ravens. Those are the guys. Occasionally
(07:16):
you'll have the backup spell them here and there, but
they are by far getting the lion's share of the carries.
Saquon Barkley, including the playoffs, he had over four hundred
rushing attempts last season that is a ton, But more
times than not with running backs, it's running back by
committee in today's NFL, Right, we don't see that one
(07:41):
bell cow lead dog running back who's getting the lion's
share of the carries. We don't see that, and so
that's why it's harder for running backs to stack huge numbers.
It's more a committee approach or a two headed monster approach.
It's becoming more like that with wide receipt if you
start looking around the league, I mean it's rare that
(08:05):
you find a team where it's like, all right, they've
got this one stud and a bunch of really mediocre
wide receivers around him. So the stud is just getting fed.
It's target city, throw, throw, throw his way, right, It's
typically not like that. Look at Jamar Chase on his team.
He's got T Higgins, another highly paid, very good wide receiver.
(08:29):
T Higgins had over nine hundred yards receiving last season.
If T Higgins isn't in Cincinnati, it's a give and
take type thing. Yeah, that that might take a little
production away from Jamar Chase because you can roll coverage
that way. There are a lot of things defensively you
can do to now try to limit Jamar's effectiveness. But
(08:53):
when you have Tea on the field, he's gonna get
his targets, he's gonna get his catches, he's gonna get
his yards. He's gonna take some of that production away
from Jamar Chase. It happens often in the NFL. So
while we talk about running back by committee, it's oftentimes
wide receiver by committee too. Some of these teams have
(09:14):
a great wide receiver and they have a tight end
who takes a lot of targets and a lot of
production away from the number one wide receiver. So for
those reasons, I think the odds are better than not
that we're not going to have a two thousand yard
receiving season over the next three years. I think it's
a crazy take. It could certainly happen, but I would
(09:36):
bet against it happening. I would go no, if that's
a prop bet that's offered. This is gonna sound silly,
but honestly, one of the things that gets me, I'm
not like jumping out of bed like, oh man, I
can't wait for the NFL season now because of these stories.
(09:57):
But they at least do more for me to look
forward to the NFL season. Then a lot of this
stuff that, oh, second round picks are looking for fully
guaranteed deals. It's like, all right, cool, yeah, it's that
does nothing to get me energized for the twenty twenty
five season to roll around, you know what I mean.
(10:18):
So while these stories don't captivate me and fully get
me jump started, right, they do more than a lot
of these other stories do. It's the alternate uniforms. Yes,
I'm an NFL sicco. But Tampa Bay I didn't realize this.
So the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they're gonna break out the
classic white and creamsickle road uniforms this season. It'll be
(10:42):
the first time in about fifty years they've worn these things. Now,
I didn't realize because I'm like, wait a minute, correct
me if I'm dead wrong, But I swear Baker Mayfield
and Mike Evans they've worn the creamsickle throwback uniforms recently. Right, Like,
am I crazy? Am I just dreaming this?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
They have?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But I glossed over it. This is the classic white
and creamsicle road uniforms. Right, So these are mostly white uniforms.
The numbers are like the creamsicle flavor and all of that.
So they're gonna wear them against the Jets in their
home opener. This is gonna be the fiftieth season the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so they're gonna wear the white creamsicle
(11:30):
road uniforms against the Jets on September twenty first. Actually, no,
I get that wrong. I'm dead wrong. That's weird. So
they're wearing the classic white and creamsicle road uniforms for
their home opener. That's kind of weird, but whatever, that's
what they're doing. And also the Falcons. Falcons are gonna
(11:51):
wear throwback uniforms three times this year, so they're rocking
the red helmets. It's a sharp look. I love the
red helmet throwback uniform for the Falcons. They're gonna wear
it three primetime games. One of them is, let's see,
it's a Monday night home game against the Bills in
week six. They got the Thursday night road game against
(12:11):
Tampa in week fifteen, and then there's a Monday night
game against the Rams in week seventeen, so they're gonna
be rocking the red helmets. Apparently they were three and
oh rocking the red helmets. Last year they were five
and nine in their other games. But I'll tell you, man,
it might sound like wow, Brian Slow Newsday, huh jeez,
you always get that. It's like, no, man, there's plenty
(12:33):
of stuff to talk about. But that's I guess that's
kind of how desperate it gets these these time these
at these times where a lot of the stories about
the NFL do nothing to get me excited for the
upcoming NFL season. And I never really thought about that.
(12:54):
That just it accumulates. If you're an NFL fan, you're
paying attention to this stuff, and subconsciously, I think it's
getting you less and less enthused for the upcoming season,
to the point where I'm just not counting it down.
I'll see these things on X or whatever. They'll tweet
it out like hey, ninety five days until kickoff or
(13:17):
whatever like that, and there just becomes a lull where
I'm like, man, I can only hear about second round holdouts,
the executive director of the Players Association resigning. You know,
I can only hear about this stuff so much before
I'm just yawning and like say, this does nothing for
me as far as the upcoming season is concerned. I
(13:38):
never thought about it like that until now, but I'm
sure there are some of you listening that probably feel
the exact same way. All Right, eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox is your phone number. Feel free to
hit us up. Meller Militia always love hearing from you.
Also on X at the No Show if you want
to hit me there. Okay, So we've got Coop Scoops
coming up pretty soon. And also I saw a list.
(14:04):
I saw a column in terms of overrated and underrated teams,
and I just wanted to throw throw out what some
of this writer was talking about. I agree with some stuff,
disagree with other things, but something to keep on your radar.
We'll compare notes coming up. I'm Prian no In for
Big Ben Maller right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (14:22):

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian no In for
Big Ben Mahler. Is it okay? You know? I have
I love me some dua lipa? And uh is that
on similar footing? She's a very tall woman, very very
tall woman, that dua lipa over there? But uh, is
it okay to let you let the people know about
(15:23):
Rick Ross and you? Is that alright? Lorena?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Oh yeah, I definitely have a thing for Rick Ross.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
For sure have a thing for Rick Ross.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
I could also get it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Okay, nice, very nice? I thought, Uh, you meant Jeff
Ross the roast master.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Oh, he's so good at roasting. He's like the main
guy in every roast beef. But this is a roast,
you know, when they're just like, you know, like the
Tom Brady roast and everybody's talking trash about Tom Brady. Yeah,
they're mean on purpose, and then they say something very
nice at the very end like it undoes all the
(15:59):
mean things. But Jeff Ross, he's the roast master. But
I doubt you have him in the Rick Ross category.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Now let me go look him up.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Coop knows. Yeah, but very nice. Well,
love for Rick Ross over there from Lorena. Very good,
very good. Okay, so we got Coop scoops coming up,
and just about five minutes from now, I'll get to
the militia here in a second, if anybody wants to
check in. But I saw this list on the Athletic
(16:31):
Mike Jones put this list together of who he thinks
are four overrated NFL teams this season and who are
four underrated teams in the NFL this season. So his
list for the overrated teams, he has the Bills, the
forty nine Ers, the Lions, and the Bengals. Now I
(16:55):
would disagree with his Bengals selection there for these reasons.
Oh wow, we got a lot of the Oh holy cow,
the militias are lining up. We got to power through
some of these in a second. Okay, I'll be quick.
I disagree with him putting the Bengals on the underrated
list just because, listen, people struggle with this all the time.
(17:17):
Like to be a candidate to be overrated, people have
to be talking you up. They have to be waxing, poetic.
Who is saying, hey, look out for the Bengals man
their sucky defense and whatever they're doing with Shamar Stewart
over there, not signing their first round rookie, who was
talking about maybe going back to school at Texas A
and M look out for the Bengals. Who's saying that.
(17:40):
No one is saying that. So they're not a good
candidate to be overrated. Now the other three are good candidates. Bills, Niners, Lions.
I hear a lot of positive comments about those teams.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
Now.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The Lions have been doubted a decent amount. Their road
schedule is brutal. Their schedule overall is really really tough.
So I have heard some some skeptics, but there are believers.
I hear a lot of positivity about the Niners because
they have a cake schedule, and of course a lot
of positivity about the Bills. Of those teams, who do
(18:18):
you think is going to turn out to be overrated?
I would say it's the Niners. The Niners have a
lot of turnover, They lost a lot of defensive players,
a lot of contributors. You know, Trent Williams, he only
played ten games last season. They're left tackle. Christian mccaffery's
supposed to be back and looking great, but he only
played four games last season. Significant injury. When you're talking
(18:40):
like achilles tendonitis, that's a serious deal. So I just
don't I don't believe in the Niners. They have a
cake schedule, should win a bunch of games, but I
think they're going to be fools gold. I just I
don't think the roster is nearly as good as it
was their GM. John Lynch said, hey, we had to
(19:02):
get younger and a little bit cheaper. Yeah, because you're
paying Brock Purty huge money, Like they gotta do that. Sure,
I just don't think Brock Purdy is a guy who
can compensate for a weaker roster. It's a good quarterback,
but he's not a dude that's just going to say, hey,
we've got like a second rate right tackle, or we've
(19:22):
got a you know, a second rate wide receiver, cheaper here,
cheaper there. That's okay, I got you. I don't think
he's that guy.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The underrated portion of this and I'll get to the
militia real fast. Underrated. He's got Chargers, Cowboys, Cardinals, Jags.
He says, hey, Leam Cohen's over that. Maybe he can
do for Trevor Lawrence what he did for Baker Mayfield
and Tampa. That's the reasoning they went out and got
Travis Hunter. You know, I like the Cardinals on this list. Myself,
(19:53):
I've gone out. It's my curveball prediction. I have the
Cardinals winning the NFC West. I just think off defensively,
pretty decent offensive line, Marvin Harrison Junior if he takes
a big step forward, love Trey McBride, fantastic tight end.
Kyler Murray is a good quarterback. I think Kyler Murray is.
You tell me Brock Purty is way better than Kyler Murray,
(20:15):
and I'll say, no, you're wrong. I think he's way
better than Kyler Murray. I think they're very, very comparable.
You give Kyler Murray what Brock Purty enjoyed supporting cast
Wise the last two seasons. Kyler Murray is putting up
big numbers. You play Brock Purty with Arizona the last
couple of years. I don't think Brock party is putting
up the same numbers. I just don't. I think Kyler
(20:35):
Murray's good enough. And I think what they've done defensively,
like some of their draft picks, some of their free
agent moves. Jonathan Gannon, you know, doubled their win total
over the last two years. I think the Cardinals arrow
is still pointed up. I think that's a good selection. Underrated.
All right, let me go to the phones. Here, the
militia is lining up. I think we've got Chris in Massachusetts.
(20:58):
All Star take real quick, Chris, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
What's up?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (21:03):
And I'll be fat because I know you got a lineup.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
But I loved Brian.
Speaker 8 (21:06):
I love your takes now as great as Ben's just kidding,
but I do love your takes. But the cake earlier
when I got in the car about the All Star
Game with people dropping out, But when.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
I was young, a young boy. I'm fifty five, so
we love the All Star Game. The reason I love
the All Tar Game because you never saw the nl
NL teams and that was what made it special. Yeah,
And what was great Gary Queen used to have these
helmets in their ice cream and their Sunday I'd always
go out to Marc and Brewers, the Cincinnati Reds, the
Red Sox of course, and it.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Just it's nostalgia for me.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Now it's not there.
Speaker 8 (21:43):
And lastly, Brock Colet, who was a Red Sox in
utility infielder, made the All Star Game a few years
back and that was the joke of the town here.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, no, good call, Chris, good stuff. Appreciate that. Yeah,
I remember the old school, like ice cream helmets. I
loved collecting those things for sure. And you're right, it's
changed so much. It used to be really really special
because this was before interleague play. This was the only
time you would see outside of the World Series al
(22:13):
players play against NL players and listen, it's changed. I
like interleague play, but that's one of the drawbacks is
you don't have that special All Star feel anymore. And
a lot of things have changed. You've got a million
channels now, you had like three way back in the day,
and so for baseball to be on it was a
big deal. Things have changed, you know, So it happens.
(22:36):
Let me go to Mark in the North End. Okay, interesting, Mark,
you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Hey, Brian how's it going good, Bud? So earlier you
mentioned in your last segment how as soon as football
and you're doing the countdown for the next season to start, right,
Uh huh?
Speaker 11 (22:54):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Why is it that you know, all these people that
loved football so much and miss the fellow as soon
as it's over. They can't get enough football? The UFL
stops and there's nobody at these games, like not like
the standard, like almost completely empty. Where are all the
people that love football so much?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Well, they love the NFL, you know, they love college football.
They don't love the UFL. That would be like saying
for anyone who loves music like you love music, and uh,
what's what?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
What?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
What genre of music do you like the most?
Speaker 9 (23:27):
Mark?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
I have a wide genre actually, okay, I don't like
it's like heavy metal pretty much.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Oh you're killing me, Mark, that's my go to it. Okay, Well,
what are you no? It's okay, it's all right. We
still cater to the non heavy metal folk. We just
judge them behind their back, Loren. That's what we do.
That's what we do. What Mark was Okay, so you're
a rock guy. What are you into?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I mean, I love I love you know what today's
music sucks. To be honest with you, I'm a seventy
eight nineties guy.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Okay, in rock or what like. It's a wide run.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
I like all these disco, hip hop rap okay, but
of those years not now?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
All right, fair enough, that's fine, Okay. So imagine it
like you're this music lover, you know what I mean,
and you can see a legendary rapper, you can see whatever,
the main dude from that era, and you're in concert,
and then all of a sudden, you could see right
after that guy one of the worst rappers in town.
(24:33):
It's not the same thing. It's not the same product.
Like the NFL is the great rapper, the UFL is
the sad like disaster of an up and coming rapper.
There's a clear difference. It's not just yeah, I hear
what you're saying. It's not just where football junkies put
anything in front of us and we're gonna eat it up.
It's not like that.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
With that being said, how long do you give the UFL?
Speaker 10 (24:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I hope it sticks around, man. I love this stories.
I love that those dudes are trying to, you know,
keep their dream alive and maybe make it to the NFL.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
But to get to the NFL, yeah, they they had.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Like the Lions Kicker made it, you know. There They're
gonna be a couple of guys here and there that
make it to the NFL. But it's not going to
be this viable money making product. And it always comes
back to that. So welfully they can still make it,
but the days might be numbered. Man, gotta make a buck.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
The NFL doesn't have a hand in that, do they.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
You know, I'm not positive. I don't think so, but
I can't tell you for sure, Mark, I'm not positive.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
About them, the XFL and the USFL.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Right like, if it was say like the g League
of the NBA, if this was an NFL product, then yeah,
it's going to be around. If they want it to
be sort of like a feeder or a minor league,
then yeah it would. It'd have a chance.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
But one that asked the question because I lean forwards
more the NHL being the greatest game on Earth. But
that's just my opinion.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What All Star or just game in general.
Speaker 6 (26:09):
The NHL just hockey in general, okay, country, And I
don't think nothing beats playoff hockey. Anything beats playoff hockey.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Well, hey, man, if that's your cup of tea, that's fine.
I mean you don't like heavy metal, Mark, so your
credentials are shaky at best. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
You know I could deal with I read something.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Okay, that's good. That's better than none. Well, good stuff.
I appreciate talking to you, Mark. That was fun, very nice.
All right, we've got Coop scoops over do we have
a fancy intro and everything and we just start playing
music here.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Coop, we can we can go to Marcel and have
him with intro.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Oh, let's do that, Marcel and Brooklyn is here to
give Coop a fancy intro. I love this idea. What's
going on, Marcel?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Nothing much as it's always getting ready there miss and
yes do you all miss me? Why bet you are.
I'll be back on Monday and again on Wednesday when
my man big Ben is back. But in the meantime
it's Friday. They got it Friedday, Fried Day. And yes,
(27:14):
the Coop Scoop on entertainment all right for Hollywood starts
right now and here, Jo.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Man, very well done. Marcel loved that.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
Yes, I mean you got Marcel.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
You gotta deliver now, Coop.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
That's right. Hey, he he always he always throws to
this segment.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
That's very nice.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
Uh, So we're gonna start off in the theaters like
we always do. And uh, a couple of movies out
this weekend of note. The first is and then stop
me if you've heard of this movie before. Okay, it
is called I Know What You Did Last Summer?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Oh my gosh, another one of these things.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That's right now.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
I thought it was a reboot when I initially saw
like the uh, the posters for it.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Huh.
Speaker 10 (27:58):
But then i'm I saw the I went to the
movie theater today and I went and saw. I went
saw twenty eight years later, the zombie movie.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
How was that?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I liked it? It was good.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
Okay, But I saw a trailer for I Know What
You Did Last Summer and I saw Jennifer love Hewitt
in the trailer and she was in the original.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
So I don't think it is a reboot.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I mean, like.
Speaker 10 (28:26):
It seemed like they would like well then, right, I guess.
I guess, but it's later on in life. Yeah, but
I don't know they're calling it a reboot. It's it's
not called it not you did last summer too. It's
just it's got the same title. But I don't know,
it looks it's one of those movies where as of
right now, the critics have not enjoyed it, but audiences,
(28:48):
but audiences have. It's got thirty seven percent score from
the critics, seventy two percent from audience. So you know,
it's one of those slasher movies where it's just it's
just fun. It's a you know, it's it's not cinema.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Who doesn't love a good slasher movie exactly.
Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
The other movie out this weekend that I wanted to
point out is called Eddington, Okay, and this one's got
a star studed cast. It's got Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro, Pascal Grimes. Yeah,
so lots of lots of big names in here. Austin,
Austin Butler's in at Amma Stone. And it is kind
of a modern a modern Western.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Hmmm.
Speaker 10 (29:32):
So this is what it says the some reason the
may of in May of twenty twenty, a standoff between
a small town sheriff and a mayor sparks a powder
keg as a as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington,
New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Wow, and uh, what's the uh? I keep on seeing
these previews for one of the dudes is in another movie?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Is it the Austin guy, Austin Butler?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes? Yeah, what's the other movie where he's like swinging
a baseball.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Back stealing, caught stealing?
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Does that interest you at all?
Speaker 6 (30:03):
It does?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
You know?
Speaker 5 (30:05):
I will, I'll probably check it out. It's got Zoe
Kravitz in it. I like Austin Butler, I imagine you do.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
How about the dude from Game of Thrones that's in
Eddington as well? You know, you know the guy I'm
talking about, Coop. I don't off the top, you would
know where he's like you blanked her, you something her,
you killed her or whatever. And then like the Mountains. Oh,
Pedro Pascal, Yeah yeah, Pedro Pedro's in freaking every Yeah,
(30:36):
my gosh.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
He's literally like the number one actor right now. Oh
for sure, he's even above Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
He literally seems to be in everything. It's wild. He's
had a great run. He's in the like that what
was it the Apple commercial where he's dancing. He's in commercials,
in movies and doing all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 10 (30:54):
Yeah, he's he's in that movie that's out right now.
He's gonna be in Fantastic four coming out and uh
think next week or a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Yeah, crazy, Yeah, just he.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Just finished the Last of Us season two.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
The guy's the guys and everything. I mean, I enjoyed
Petro Pascal. He's a good actor.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
He is a really good actor.
Speaker 6 (31:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
Moving on to television, we have a new limited series
on Netflix. It is called Untamed and it stars Eric
Banna as a special agent for the National Park Service
who begins an investigation of a brutal death at Yosemite.
It is a six part thriller and that is available
(31:35):
on Netflix right now.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Okay, great actor, Yes, this is a great job.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
It The death soon reveals secrets of the park and
his own past.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I do love Eric Banna in Blackhawk Down. Had a
nice role in that movie, Coop, you know what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
I haven't seen that movie though, like since around when
it came out.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Oh wow, okay, it's been a while. Yeah, you have
to familiarize yourself.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I know I have to.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
I have to rewatch that for sure.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
But last, but not least, we have the return of
an Apple TV Plus show that I'm a big fan of.
It's called Acapulco and I believe this is season four, yes,
season four of this show.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
If you haven't watched this before, it's a.
Speaker 10 (32:24):
It's a nice, like heartwarming coming of age comedy that
takes place in a resort in Mexico. And uh, it's
a it's a dual language TV show, but it's it's
really good.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
It's a it makes you, it makes you smile. It's
a good show.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Okay, I'm just laughing at myself.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I apologies to the great city of Acapulco. I suck
at spelling, my gosh. Like when the Google's like, are
you trying to apocalyptic? Are you going for apocalypse? I'm like, no,
I'm not going for any of those things. And I'm like, oh, okay, wow,
I was way off, not even close.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
My gosh.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's just sad right there. But you like that it's
a good TV show there.
Speaker 10 (33:09):
Yeah, it definitely gets a recommendation from me. I have
seen all the all the seasons leading up to now.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Okay, you recommend any of these summer movies I haven't
seen a ton. I've maybe seen one of the main
summer movies. Anything you've seen that you highly recommend.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
I mean, look, I saw I saw Jurassic Park or
or how was it or Jurassic World Rebirth or whatever
they're calling it. Look, I mean it's uh, it's dinosaurs
and cool deaths, and I feel like that's really all
you can expect from a Jurassic movie these days. I
(33:50):
have not seen Superman yet. I am planning on seeing
that this weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, I'm gonna go see Superman.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
This Sea How to Train Your Dragon was great, really great? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, wow.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
How about is it Scarlett Johansson that's in Jurassic Park
or whatever the new one is. How do you feel
about Scarlet? You have a big crush on Scarlet.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
There, Coop, Oh, she's she's an alzheimer Okay, ye're.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Where's she on the uh the Jennifer Lawrence Sydney Sweeney
scale for you?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Well, she's not in the same realm as either of
those two women.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The utter, the laugh before that precent Appaulch, I mean, gosh,
that's that's rarefied air right there. We're not even in
the ballpark.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
Was starting you just named like two of the three goats.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, I know on your list you have them. Is
there anybody else that you have in that? Like just Vicinity.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
Angelina you do, okay? And like Prime Angelina?
Speaker 9 (34:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Prime?
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Not right now?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What is she now? Withered? Go back twenty five years,
he'll take that.
Speaker 5 (34:59):
One look and look she's she is still a beautiful lady.
But you know there are other actresses that have the
age better. No, not one movie where she's trying to
be young again, be her younger self. It just got
like a Grammy nomination. A Grammy nomination. Yeah that's for music. No, okay, well.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
An Oscar?
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Then what's her name? I don't know, not cares. I've
not your idea, have no idea what you're talking about?
I have no idea anyway. That's Coop Scoop on entertainment.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Good stuff. Stuck the landing with an assist from Lorena.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Right there.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It is outstanding.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
It's gonna come to.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Me okay later, All right?
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Good?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Well, we got you know, about five minutes left, so
there's time. Got a whole break for googling, you know,
So we'll pay that off, we'll get to the militia,
we'll fire through as many calls as we can. And also,
this is not going to become a growing trend. I
don't believe very quick one minute sports take from yours
(36:07):
truly around the corner as well. I'm Brian no In
for Big Ben Malor. Keep it locked right here on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
Big Ben Malor here on Fox Sports Radio. I think
it'd be funny if, like Lorena and I are in
a fist fight for dua lipa. You know, that would
be a be a funny video that Cooper.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
I think we'd have to fight.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Brian, were you just saying you got this first? Oh really? Okay, okay,
fair enough? That'd be an interesting, uh you know video
from Coop just hey, I saw these two fist fighting
each other for the right to Yeah, okay, I'm gonna
get to the militia here very quick. I promise you
(37:02):
a one minute take. So this is it. Put the
start the clock right now. So a Chargers wide receiver
Mike Williams he's decided to retire after eight NFL seasons.
He walks away at the age of thirty, and listen,
this isn't I think what we like a scarecrow topic.
I'm not creating something just to you know, go back
(37:25):
and forth with air or something. But this happens quite
a bit. I don't think it's happening right now. But
when someone leaves the game at like thirty years old,
a lot of people be like, is this gonna be
the norm? Is this the way it always goes? No, man, like,
this is not gonna become the norm. There're gonna be
some players that retire early. Mike Williams was banged up
quite a bit, and there're gonna be some players here
(37:47):
and there that retire the game early but are from
the game early. But I don't think this is gonna
be a thing where players like in Droves are gonna
be retiring early. I think it's just just a casual case,
spike case thing. Some dudes walk away early, and more
power to him, make your money. Depending on your position,
you walk away good quality of life for better quality
(38:09):
of life, not as many injuries. So I hope it
works out for Mike Williams but steps away after eight years.
All right, that was quick, about a minute right there
on the nose. Let's go fast. Let's go to Ned
in Milwaukee. I got to take on Lillard here, only
a couple of minutes here, Ned, But try to go
quickly for us, if you would, Bud.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Okay, yeah, can you break down Damian Lellard's new contract
going back to Portland from Milwaukee.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Yeah, it's just three years, forty two million bucks for
the Blazers, and I believe that offsets the money that
he's due from the Bucks, like they wouldn't be on
the hook for that much money. They're on the hook
for the rest of it though, But.
Speaker 9 (38:47):
He does have to sit out the first year due
to the injury.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Though, right, Yeah, yeah, he won't be active for that
first year rehab it.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
So technically speaking, you're getting paid by both both team.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Still, no, I think it offset I okay, Yeah. What
I read like a couple of weeks ago was that
the Bucks wouldn't have to pay what he earns in
another contract from another team. So I believe they're off
the hook for forty two million bucks of the whatever
like one thirteen that they owe them. I believe that's
the way it breaks down. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (39:18):
Wow, that's crazy. Oh thanks, thanks a lot for breaking
that down for me.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
You got it, ned, good stuff, man. We got Rob
in Maine. He's on Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Rob?
Speaker 9 (39:29):
Hey, Yeah, I'm talking about here. You're talking earlier about
the two thousand yards receiver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not
going to happen. I got billions of dollars on that one, brother,
Because the NFL keeps shortening the field, They're going to
be doing half court here for too long. You know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You know that's a good point, right, the kickoffs, the
touchbacks come back to the thirty five now, so yeah,
I mean that adds up. The little thing's add up.
Speaker 9 (39:50):
Sure, Oh sure, fifteen over seventeen games not gonna happen,
all Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah right Rob, No, good stuff, man, appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
All right?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Thirty seconds, Blind Scott, You gotta go quick, buddy, but
we love you. What's on your mind, Blind Scott?
Speaker 11 (40:04):

when you were on last it's still going on now, but.
Speaker 1 (40:10):

this been?
Speaker 11 (40:14):
It's been since you were on last it started. Dude,
we could have made so much money if you came
here with the U haul, we could have picked up garbage.
There's all these cowboy and Indian garbage. There's don't been
trashed everywhere.
