President Trump saying that his new executive order has quote
saved college sports in America. The White House also claimed

than professional sports. Is that really common sense? And where
are you at on? North Carolina coach Bill Belichick noting

Speaker 1 (02:25):
We're cool with that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
If you're on hold, we'll get to you at some point.
Everyone seems to have a memory man, your childhood. For
many people, that hault Cogan big part of it. But
we're gonna move on and or leave. This hour is
from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh my god, man, you kidd listen. I know. If
you're gonna be triggered, just you know, go somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm sure, George always talking about chemtrails right now or
some goblin or something like.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That, and we'll check back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But from the intersection of sports and politics, and I
thought this was an interesting story. I've wondered for a
couple of years how this is going to play out.
And I don't believe this is the final act. I
don't believe if you don't know what I'm talking about, maxplay.
So the President of the United States, Donald Trump, signed
an executive order.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's the power of the president.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So the President signed in executive order aimed at protecting
student athletes you know, I love that term, and collegiate
athletic scholarships and opportunities, while at the same time prohibiting
third party those evil third party pay for play payments
(03:35):
to these athletes, which have been going on. It's the
wild wild West, been going on for some time. So
of note, as our friend Eddie used to say, games
of note, in this case, executive order. Points of note.
The way it works. The prohibition, if you will, on
(03:55):
third party payments does not does not extend to what
they call fair market you compensation, so long as that
party has a legitimate business interest. So to rephrase that
the executive order does not target brand endorsements, meaning Wall
Street big companies with local and national operations, for instance.
(04:21):
So let us discuss the question how do you classify?
President Trump saying that his executive order has quote saved
college sports. So I've got waffle House, Johnny Depp, and
Pilates class and we are going to combine all of
(04:41):
these things together. We're going to make some delicious key
lime pie. Singing about that the other day came up
on the show and I was like, man, I really
like key lime pie. I never knew I like key
lime pie because I'd never really had it until like
the last year, and I liked it all.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right. Now, first of all, we'll start with this.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So President Trump says, the legislation is opposed to protect
student athletes, scholarships, Olympic sports, and the uniquely American institution
of college sports. So let's break this down. Let's decipher
what this really means. Now, the term student athlete is
a weasel term. So right away, when you say protect
student athlete, that was a term.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I don't need to go through the whole rant. I've
done it for years.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The NCAA came up with that because people were dying
and there were lawsuits in order to get out of
having to pay workers comp They said, listen, these are
not employees, they are student athletes. And they just kept
shoving it down people's throats for years. They just cooked
up the term and that's it. So that right away
(05:43):
was a red flag. But the way I read it,
this is a coldgate story or go at the behest
of some powerful people who are boosters, people that support
college football. Trump is trying to stuff the Colgate toothpaste
back in the tube. Spoiler alert. It's already all over
(06:08):
the counter, all right, it's dripping down. The toothpaste is
not going back in the tube.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So let me break this down to you like you're
five years old, because you're probably so drunk right now,
you're acting like you're five years old. This is nothing
but a show. It's performative, is what it is. And
mark my words, and I'm never wrong about this. If
you think that this is going to stop the third
(06:34):
party pay for play payments, you are a dumbo.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Is what you are.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You are.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, it's not going to stop it. It's just going
to move it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Listen, the big players involved in this are not just
going to all of a sudden go away. Ain't going
to stop this massive side hustle. And the other thing
here that stands out is when they say fair market value,
what's fair market value to you is likely not fair
(07:06):
market value to me. Who decides what the fair market is.
That's also gonna be a debate. There'll be a bunch
of lawsuits about this as well. And it's it's not
completely locked in as I understand it. There's like everything
in Washington and politics, there's a lot of red tape
and moving parts and all this. But as far as
the boosters the side house, it's just gonna encourage those
(07:30):
old school back alley Sopranos style those Manila envelopes. With
the payouts of the cash. You're gonna have some tight
end who wants to go to Alabama, who's gonna meet
with some guy at a waffle house at three in
the morning with a stack of cash, and then they'll
go out to the parking lot and they'll hug and
(07:52):
then the envelope will be handed over, just like the
good old days, right, just like the old old and
the White House.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The other thing that they talk about competitive balance.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Okay, does anyone think that all of a sudden, we're
gonna have this great parody in college athletics, like you
think Vanderbilt all of a sudden, for example, over there
in Nashville is gonna figure things out. Or in Piscataway,
New Jersey, where you can listen to the Ben Mallor show,
Rutgers is going to put a good championship level team
on the field. Come on, and we know that the
(08:24):
Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten elites are going to
eat everybody else alive.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The top schools.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You're gonna have Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, the usual suspects.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That are gonna be there, and it's just gonna be
more of the same. So no, don't tell me it's
competitive balance. It's not about competitive ballots. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Secondly, in this political firestorm, the White House also claimed
that this new legislation the common sense They said, the
common sense reality.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's their verbiage.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Common sense reality is college sports are different than professional sports.
So is that really common sense? So my response to.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That is I've got forwards. Give me a break.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay, Now, that might be true if you're talking about rowing.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Or women's field hockey. I would agree that they're not professional.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
However, are we supposed to sit here and pretend that
top level college football and to a lesser degree, because
college basketball.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Has been marginalized.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
People only give a rats ask about college basketball for
their office bracket, and that's for about a month and
a half a year. But those are still shadow pro league,
especially football, and some of them are basically full blown
businesses dressed up. They've got all the pomp and circumstances
and the nostalgia of major universities, the.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
School colors, the.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Traditions, the marching band, all that the players transfer like
their free agents.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Even it's actually more player friendly the portal.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Than it is in the professional sports that are traditional.
You've got agents, now you've got marketing deals. You've got
coaches who make more money than the governors of many
of these states. And yet they still use these phrases
like student athlete and amateurism and they're just marketing terms.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
They are just marketing terms. It is big business, baby is.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What is the only thing separating big time college football
and the NFL is the age of the players and
having to pretend like you're going to school.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So again on this one, President Trump can stand there
and act like he's protecting the purity of college athletics.
But let's be really, that ship has left the port,
all right. It went out to sea, and it became
a ghost ship and it was floating, and then it
was looted by Johnny Depp playing Captain Jack Sparrow, who
(11:13):
then sank that ship to the bottom of the sea.
And so what President the President did is really what
he's really doing here is pandering, right, And this is
all politicians pander. Everyone does it both sides of the aisle.
He's pandering to the nostalgic crowd. It's like, oh, it's
not right, what's going on here and.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Using the term student athlete and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Just when I saw that, I was like, oh my god,
here we go again. Here we go again. So I've
done shows over the years with guys that were college
athletes back and you know, many years ago, and they
told me how it works.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They told me the whole thing, how you got.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The money from the boosters and all that, and so
let's just they'll go back to that old formula if
they have to.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So now you go, you'll be able to double dip.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You'll do the the docy doe, right, doc doll, the
double dip the whole thing, because you'll not only get
the corporate money, which will be announced, then you'll get
the other side money and that will not be announced,
and that's tax free money.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Final thought to.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
ACC football, at least for now. We learned that North
Carolina the tar Hills planning on relocating. They would like
to go to the Southeastern Conference with neveryone. But that's
not the story here. So where are you at on
North Carolina coach Bill Belichick? Yes, that Bill Belichick noting
how quickly college players this is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
During his rant, he had some media.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Availability and Bill Belichick ranted about how quickly today's college
football players show improvement compared to players in the NFL.
Belichick said, because you could never wear pads in pro
football in the offseason. So where are you at on
that one? So this is my first observation, classic Bellacheckian verbiage,
(13:04):
Like he's still he's not just coaching, he's like a lobbyist.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He's lobbying.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And this is a guy who spent decades manipulating everything
he could possibly manipulate in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
To try to gain a competitive advantage and tiptoeing on
the line every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He crossed the line. And now he's not even in
the NFL. He's still throwing some shade at the league. Right,
He's throwing some shade at the NFL, and he's essentially
calling them like a glorified flag football tournament.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's what it sounded like to me. And spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, he's not wrong. He's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Like the NFL every time they wanted to get a
give back in their negotiation with the union, apparently the
union they have no clue what they're doing. It's a
it's a total clown show. It's always been that way,
but they've been exposed recently.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I need two.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Parking places for my Porsche. I want to honor OJ
And that's just the tip the tip of the spirit.
So anyway, the give back, the NFL says, well, we
want to play an extra game. The players say, we're lazy,
we don't want to work that hard. Can we not
practice in pads? The NFL says, sure in the offseason,
(14:25):
we don't care. The NFL says, well, we want to
we want to change the cap a little bit. The
players say, okay, can we limit the amount of practice
tackling that we do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The NFL says, okay, so what anything the NFL owners want.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
All they have to do is make it softer for
the player, and the players like, okay, we'll give that
back because we want to stalk.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So Belichick's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
The NFL has turned into a pilates class at this point.
A lot of these offseason practice, no pads, no contact.
It's the underwear Olympics. Yeah, you have to wear helmets,
but that's just for the fun. It's mostly a walkthrough situation. Now.
In comparison, as I understand it, the college environment, they're
out there. If you compare it side by side, you
(15:11):
do the Pepsi challenge to the NFL. They're actually out
there cracking skulls like the good old days compared to.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What the NFL does.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And so Bill Belichick's whole thing with the Patriots, and
this is a bit of an excuse, is.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like, Hey, his mantra was, I'm gonna build a tough team.
I'm gonna build a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Physical team that will end up doing well when the
weather turns nasty in New England late in the year
and trench warfare and all this, and the last couple
of years he was with the Patriots, he was stuck
watching NFL players do synchronize stretching in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And so yeah, he's bitter Bill, bitter Bill. He's got
that bitter Bill Belichick face BBB.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, not the Brazilian butt lift. That's bbl BBB. That's
check and the.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
League in that respect because the players are they're a flower,
they're pussy willows. They newter that advantage that Belichick had,
and he also picked bad players. And he's not just
prodding the NFL. It is not just a prod of
the NFL. He's mocking the players in the NFL. And
(16:24):
he's throwing a couple of Haymakers soft product. It's a
soft product. And he says it without saying it's the
passive aggressive Belichick. It's like he's saying it, and then
he's it's like when somebody cuts me off on the
highway because I only get shot because I do the
show from LA.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
People shoot people, and.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So what I do is I give them the bird,
but I do it under they can't see it. I
will with my hand hidden behind the door. I'll give
them the bird. Sometimes I'll even give him a double bird,
but they can't see it, and I'll pretend like I'm
just driving along here, but I'm giving them. That's the
passive aggressive pushback, and that's what Belichick.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Riddle of the day.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
The Savannah Bananas. The Savannah Bananas a traveling bard and
storming baseball team, the baseball answer to the Harlem Globetrotters,
the Savannah Bananas. A player for that team went viral
for blanking on CNN live, did live on CNN. That
is the riddle of the day. Let's see what is
(22:16):
the answer. Let's see enye meanie manual oh wdae checking
in there ninety five to three, they say, hello, we're
on there right now.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Look at that and their social media.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Let's see King Roy says he was arrested. The Savannah
Banana guy arrested. He revealed his true identity by emerging
from within the banana peel. That's from malor prop guy.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
He did some long division long division random Ryan in
Carolina says, announcing that he's taking his talents to Montgomery

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Late Night Drug Tester says promoting The Animal Thunderdome with
Danny G. Yeah, so on the Fifth Hour podcast if
you listen to that Danny G who used to work
on this show and now works on the daytime show
with Covino and Rich. But Danny is supposed to do
a podcast with Klay Travis called The Animal Thunderdome. The
problem is Klay Travis is like he replaced rush Limbass,
(23:25):
so Clay's got like a big time radio job.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
He's got a bunch of other stuff, so.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
They keep pushing it back. It's been multiple years, so
it's like a running gag. On the podcast, bird Dog
says eating his Flintstone Vitamins wardrobe malfunction from the Sawman,
praising Don Lemon from Eke he cut two Savannah bananas
and blankety blank from Stevie Meatballs. Justin got this right,
(23:53):
bad job by him. Mike the Leprechaun says, for twerking
with a rubber chicken.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
No, that's what you do. Mike Leprekaan, you did it right.
He played with his chicken right in front of me
in studio. No one's ever played with their chicken in studio.
He did. Mike the Leprecaun, you peg you played with
your chicken. What else? Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Robbie the Mariner fan says went viral for doing a
certain act with a baseball bat. Chris and Kentucky says

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Wow, that would be that would be something to all right,
enough of that.

That is the riddle. The Canuck guy got it right?
Do you have an answer? Lorena?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Here?

trying to show off how athletic, how amazing these players are.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So he did a backflip, he did a face plat.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
He did not complete the backflip, and he went right
face first into the set there on CNN.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Have you seen the video? Have you have you seen

And then he gets up and says that never happens.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh oh man, that is uh oh Jesus.

Savannah Banana person did not pull it so good.

So here in our number three, how do you classify?
President Trump saying that his new executive order has quote
saved college sports in America. The White House also claimed
(00:29):
that the common sense reality is college sports are different
than professional sports. Is that really common sense? And where
are you at on? North Carolina coach Bill Belichick noting
how quickly college players show improvement compared to players in
the NFL because you could never wear pads in the
NFL off season. We'll react to that and much more
(00:53):
right now here we go, give it up as we
do some commerce.

Way Tire Buying Show be a lot of you still
want to yap about hault Cogan.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
We're cool with that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
If you're on hold, we'll get to you at some point.
Everyone seems to have a memory man, your childhood. For
many people, that hault Cogan big part of it. But
we're gonna move on and or leave. This hour is
from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Oh my god, man, you kidd listen. I know. If
you're gonna be triggered, just you know, go somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I'm sure, George always talking about chemtrails right now or
some goblin or something like.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That, and we'll check back in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But from the intersection of sports and politics, and I
thought this was an interesting story. I've wondered for a
couple of years how this is going to play out.
And I don't believe this is the final act. I
don't believe if you don't know what I'm talking about, maxplay.
So the President of the United States, Donald Trump, signed
an executive order.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's the power of the president.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So the President signed in executive order aimed at protecting
student athletes you know, I love that term, and collegiate
athletic scholarships and opportunities, while at the same time prohibiting
third party those evil third party pay for play payments
(03:35):
to these athletes, which have been going on. It's the
wild wild West, been going on for some time. So
of note, as our friend Eddie used to say, games
of note, in this case, executive order. Points of note.
The way it works. The prohibition, if you will, on
(03:55):
third party payments does not does not extend to what
they call fair market you compensation, so long as that
party has a legitimate business interest. So to rephrase that
the executive order does not target brand endorsements, meaning Wall
Street big companies with local and national operations, for instance.
(04:21):
So let us discuss the question how do you classify?
President Trump saying that his executive order has quote saved
college sports. So I've got waffle House, Johnny Depp, and
Pilates class and we are going to combine all of
(04:41):
these things together. We're going to make some delicious key
lime pie. Singing about that the other day came up
on the show and I was like, man, I really
like key lime pie. I never knew I like key
lime pie because I'd never really had it until like
the last year, and I liked it all.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Right. Now, first of all, we'll start with this.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So President Trump says, the legislation is opposed to protect
student athletes, scholarships, Olympic sports, and the uniquely American institution
of college sports. So let's break this down. Let's decipher
what this really means. Now, the term student athlete is
a weasel term. So right away, when you say protect
student athlete, that was a term.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I don't need to go through the whole rant. I've
done it for years.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The NCAA came up with that because people were dying
and there were lawsuits in order to get out of
having to pay workers comp They said, listen, these are
not employees, they are student athletes. And they just kept
shoving it down people's throats for years. They just cooked
up the term and that's it. So that right away
(05:43):
was a red flag. But the way I read it,
this is a coldgate story or go at the behest
of some powerful people who are boosters, people that support
college football. Trump is trying to stuff the Colgate toothpaste
back in the tube. Spoiler alert. It's already all over
(06:08):
the counter, all right, it's dripping down. The toothpaste is
not going back in the tube.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Good luck.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So let me break this down to you like you're
five years old, because you're probably so drunk right now,
you're acting like you're five years old. This is nothing
but a show. It's performative, is what it is. And
mark my words, and I'm never wrong about this. If
you think that this is going to stop the third
(06:34):
party pay for play payments, you are a dumbo.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Is what you are.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You are.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, it's not going to stop it. It's just going
to move it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Listen, the big players involved in this are not just
going to all of a sudden go away. Ain't going
to stop this massive side hustle. And the other thing
here that stands out is when they say fair market value,
what's fair market value to you is likely not fair
(07:06):
market value to me. Who decides what the fair market is.
That's also gonna be a debate. There'll be a bunch
of lawsuits about this as well. And it's it's not
completely locked in as I understand it. There's like everything
in Washington and politics, there's a lot of red tape
and moving parts and all this. But as far as
the boosters the side house, it's just gonna encourage those
(07:30):
old school back alley Sopranos style those Manila envelopes. With
the payouts of the cash. You're gonna have some tight
end who wants to go to Alabama, who's gonna meet
with some guy at a waffle house at three in
the morning with a stack of cash, and then they'll
go out to the parking lot and they'll hug and
(07:52):
then the envelope will be handed over, just like the
good old days, right, just like the old old and
the White House.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The other thing that they talk about competitive balance.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Okay, does anyone think that all of a sudden, we're
gonna have this great parody in college athletics, like you
think Vanderbilt all of a sudden, for example, over there
in Nashville is gonna figure things out. Or in Piscataway,
New Jersey, where you can listen to the Ben Mallor show,
Rutgers is going to put a good championship level team
on the field. Come on, and we know that the
(08:24):
Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten elites are going to
eat everybody else alive.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
The top schools.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You're gonna have Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, the usual suspects.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
That are gonna be there, and it's just gonna be
more of the same. So no, don't tell me it's
competitive balance. It's not about competitive ballots. Now.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Secondly, in this political firestorm, the White House also claimed
that this new legislation the common sense They said, the
common sense reality.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's their verbiage.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Common sense reality is college sports are different than professional sports.
So is that really common sense? So my response to.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That is I've got forwards. Give me a break.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay, Now, that might be true if you're talking about rowing.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Or women's field hockey. I would agree that they're not professional.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
However, are we supposed to sit here and pretend that
top level college football and to a lesser degree, because
college basketball.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Has been marginalized.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
People only give a rats ask about college basketball for
their office bracket, and that's for about a month and
a half a year. But those are still shadow pro league,
especially football, and some of them are basically full blown
businesses dressed up. They've got all the pomp and circumstances
and the nostalgia of major universities, the.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
School colors, the.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Traditions, the marching band, all that the players transfer like
their free agents.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Even it's actually more player friendly the portal.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Than it is in the professional sports that are traditional.
You've got agents, now you've got marketing deals. You've got
coaches who make more money than the governors of many
of these states. And yet they still use these phrases
like student athlete and amateurism and they're just marketing terms.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
They are just marketing terms. It is big business, baby is.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
What is the only thing separating big time college football
and the NFL is the age of the players and
having to pretend like you're going to school.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So again on this one, President Trump can stand there
and act like he's protecting the purity of college athletics.
But let's be really, that ship has left the port,
all right. It went out to sea, and it became
a ghost ship and it was floating, and then it
was looted by Johnny Depp playing Captain Jack Sparrow, who
(11:13):
then sank that ship to the bottom of the sea.
And so what President the President did is really what
he's really doing here is pandering, right, And this is
all politicians pander. Everyone does it both sides of the aisle.
He's pandering to the nostalgic crowd. It's like, oh, it's
not right, what's going on here and.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Using the term student athlete and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Just when I saw that, I was like, oh my god,
here we go again. Here we go again. So I've
done shows over the years with guys that were college
athletes back and you know, many years ago, and they
told me how it works.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They told me the whole thing, how you got.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
The money from the boosters and all that, and so
let's just they'll go back to that old formula if
they have to.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So now you go, you'll be able to double dip.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You'll do the the docy doe, right, doc doll, the
double dip the whole thing, because you'll not only get
the corporate money, which will be announced, then you'll get
the other side money and that will not be announced,
and that's tax free money.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Final thought to.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
ACC football, at least for now. We learned that North
Carolina the tar Hills planning on relocating. They would like
to go to the Southeastern Conference with neveryone. But that's
not the story here. So where are you at on
North Carolina coach Bill Belichick? Yes, that Bill Belichick noting
how quickly college players this is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
During his rant, he had some media.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Availability and Bill Belichick ranted about how quickly today's college
football players show improvement compared to players in the NFL.
Belichick said, because you could never wear pads in pro
football in the offseason. So where are you at on
that one? So this is my first observation, classic Bellacheckian verbiage,
(13:04):
Like he's still he's not just coaching, he's like a lobbyist.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He's lobbying.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And this is a guy who spent decades manipulating everything
he could possibly manipulate in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
To try to gain a competitive advantage and tiptoeing on
the line every once in a while.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
He crossed the line. And now he's not even in
the NFL. He's still throwing some shade at the league. Right,
He's throwing some shade at the NFL, and he's essentially
calling them like a glorified flag football tournament.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That's what it sounded like to me. And spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, he's not wrong. He's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Like the NFL every time they wanted to get a
give back in their negotiation with the union, apparently the
union they have no clue what they're doing. It's a
it's a total clown show. It's always been that way,
but they've been exposed recently.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I need two.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Parking places for my Porsche. I want to honor OJ
And that's just the tip the tip of the spirit.
So anyway, the give back, the NFL says, well, we
want to play an extra game. The players say, we're lazy,
we don't want to work that hard. Can we not
practice in pads? The NFL says, sure in the offseason,
(14:25):
we don't care. The NFL says, well, we want to
we want to change the cap a little bit. The
players say, okay, can we limit the amount of practice
tackling that we do.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
The NFL says, okay, so what anything the NFL owners want.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
All they have to do is make it softer for
the player, and the players like, okay, we'll give that
back because we want to stalk.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
So Belichick's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
The NFL has turned into a pilates class at this point.
A lot of these offseason practice, no pads, no contact.
It's the underwear Olympics. Yeah, you have to wear helmets,
but that's just for the fun. It's mostly a walkthrough situation. Now.
In comparison, as I understand it, the college environment, they're
out there. If you compare it side by side, you
(15:11):
do the Pepsi challenge to the NFL. They're actually out
there cracking skulls like the good old days compared to.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
What the NFL does.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And so Bill Belichick's whole thing with the Patriots, and
this is a bit of an excuse, is.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Like, Hey, his mantra was, I'm gonna build a tough team.
I'm gonna build a.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Physical team that will end up doing well when the
weather turns nasty in New England late in the year
and trench warfare and all this, and the last couple
of years he was with the Patriots, he was stuck
watching NFL players do synchronize stretching in the offseason.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
And that was it.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
And so yeah, he's bitter Bill, bitter Bill. He's got
that bitter Bill Belichick face BBB.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, not the Brazilian butt lift. That's bbl BBB. That's
check and the.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
League in that respect because the players are they're a flower,
they're pussy willows. They newter that advantage that Belichick had,
and he also picked bad players. And he's not just
prodding the NFL. It is not just a prod of
the NFL. He's mocking the players in the NFL. And
(16:24):
he's throwing a couple of Haymakers soft product. It's a
soft product. And he says it without saying it's the
passive aggressive Belichick. It's like he's saying it, and then
he's it's like when somebody cuts me off on the
highway because I only get shot because I do the
show from LA.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
People shoot people, and.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So what I do is I give them the bird,
but I do it under they can't see it. I
will with my hand hidden behind the door. I'll give
them the bird. Sometimes I'll even give him a double bird,
but they can't see it, and I'll pretend like I'm
just driving along here, but I'm giving them. That's the
passive aggressive pushback, and that's what Belichick.
Speaker 1 (17:07):

lame jokes of the week coming up. We'll take some

very important.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Riddle of the day.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
The Savannah Bananas. The Savannah Bananas a traveling bard and
storming baseball team, the baseball answer to the Harlem Globetrotters,
the Savannah Bananas. A player for that team went viral
for blanking on CNN live, did live on CNN. That
is the riddle of the day. Let's see what is
(22:16):
the answer. Let's see enye meanie manual oh wdae checking
in there ninety five to three, they say, hello, we're
on there right now.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Look at that and their social media.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Let's see King Roy says he was arrested. The Savannah
Banana guy arrested. He revealed his true identity by emerging
from within the banana peel. That's from malor prop guy.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
He did some long division long division random Ryan in
Carolina says, announcing that he's taking his talents to Montgomery
to join the Biscuits. Has anyone gone from a bananas
to the Biscuits? How about a banana biscuit?
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Oh my gosh, like a banana?
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Banana?
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Who says no? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Late Night Drug Tester says promoting The Animal Thunderdome with
Danny G. Yeah, so on the Fifth Hour podcast if
you listen to that Danny G who used to work
on this show and now works on the daytime show
with Covino and Rich. But Danny is supposed to do
a podcast with Klay Travis called The Animal Thunderdome. The
problem is Klay Travis is like he replaced rush Limbass,
(23:25):
so Clay's got like a big time radio job.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
He's got a bunch of other stuff, so.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
They keep pushing it back. It's been multiple years, so
it's like a running gag. On the podcast, bird Dog
says eating his Flintstone Vitamins wardrobe malfunction from the Sawman,
praising Don Lemon from Eke he cut two Savannah bananas
and blankety blank from Stevie Meatballs. Justin got this right,
(23:53):
bad job by him. Mike the Leprechaun says, for twerking
with a rubber chicken.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
No, that's what you do. Mike Leprekaan, you did it right.
He played with his chicken right in front of me
in studio. No one's ever played with their chicken in studio.
He did. Mike the Leprecaun, you peg you played with
your chicken. What else? Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Robbie the Mariner fan says went viral for doing a
certain act with a baseball bat. Chris and Kentucky says
he went viral feeding the Mallard chicken fingers. That would
have been good. Uh giving birth from Johnny Q. That's
pretty funny giving birth?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Uh a far out, Dave says doing the double corn dog. Wow.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Douglas, a Savannah banana player went streaking on CNN.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
That's Douglas in Mississippi. Brian says he revealed the Epstein files.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Wow, that would be that would be something to all right,
enough of that.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That is the riddle. The Canuck guy got it right?
Do you have an answer? Lorena?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
Here?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It is the Mallard Riddle of the day. A Savannah
banana that's a traveling baseball team. Savannah banana player recently
went viral. Were blanking live on CNN.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I think he ripped his pants.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No, so this guy was trying to the guy was
trying to show off how athletic, how amazing these players are.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So he did a backflip, he did a face plat.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
He did not complete the backflip, and he went right
face first into the set there on CNN.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Have you seen the video? Have you have you seen
the video?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Oh Jesus, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Oh there it is to a plan again. Played again.
This is great. Play again, here we go.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Oh Jesus, that that what you just saw. There is
a brand new twist on America's favorite pastime.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Mister smooth anchor guy on TV. Oh that was intentional.
A guy just broke his face.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
And then he gets up and says that never happens.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh oh man, that is uh oh Jesus.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think Jesus would have pulled that off. But the
Savannah Banana person did not pull it so good.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh it's so great.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's like Red Panda, Remember when she fell down the
halftime performer.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, like she never does that, and she fell down.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
It was like, oh no, Red Panda fell down while
she's trying to balance plates on her head.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's never supposed to happen. But she but it happened.
So anyway, there there you go.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
All right, let's see here, let's go back to the phones,
and who do we have any meenie miney mo.
