Let's go jee Oh God. Now look, we are at

our stuff like some FM Jabbroni's.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We're the only ones that got a second interview.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, we sit down, we do the show. Different listeners
who don't have a radio anymore because they're in the
program come out to listen. Let's go Chieves. It's been
a great time. You've got to admit it, Kates, that's
why they want us back.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, that's all you got. I mean you were there
hanging out, you know. Kazakhs was she like, Hey, we
got to get those guys back. I talked to the
people in the dream Center. They were static about having
you guys out there.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
We go.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
You saw that swoll guy that topies like, you know what.
I felt extra strong moving around these boxes to help
these people. When I heard Petro some money, let's go.

We're going back tomorrow because we're the most popular, and

everybody vaseline, Matt's cold, let's go Cheeves. But the point is,
damn it, The point is that we we're going back
because we're the best. Does that right, Kates?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You're the best?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Are other people going back other than us? They don't
want they don't want roving at.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Anyone gone back twice? I don't think so. Yeah, like that,
nobody's gone back twice. Maybe seacrests, but I don't think
so track your stuff, Seacrest. He's got a host wheel
of fortune. You'd have time to do that.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah. Plus, by the time it shows over the dream
Center opened at.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Nine exactly, he hasn't even been there. Kate's wrong with you?
Twist our nut sck like that with ridiculous statement.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah, quick sack twisting.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, We're gonna be out there and hopefully you recognize
the opportunity like our friend Claudio did, and you drop
off some non perishable food items, some bottled water, some
baby supplies size five or six diapers is what they
could really use.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Might be the last week of the drive through on us.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's right, so help us out and help people out
with pet food, help pets out, pet supplies, hygiene products,
and gift cards.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I can't wait to get another one of those burritos.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It was nothing like eating a breakfast burrito around six
o'clock at night, hit the spot when we were watching
a dirt bike chase.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Dirt bike Chase, watch the Tommy tank work talk to
Tony VR. It was a great night, it really was.
It was something Matt today we're gonna do before we
get to the NFL stuff and before the college game
kicks here. We already talked to Danny can Alan. We
already talked some Ohio State and Michigan. But or excuse me,
Ohio State versus Notre Dame. It feels so similar, same thing.
(05:09):
The flip top story of the ilip you out, I will.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Put you out. This is the flip top story of
the day.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Secular Notre Dame. That's Michigan America's guest. Reggie Bush has
made some news, matt He interviewed for the Sacra Meadow
State head coaching job and eventually went to the guy
from the Go Go offense, somebody I'm pretty familiar with,
(05:38):
Brennan Marion, who was over at un LB as the
offensive coordinator, was an OC for SARK in Texas.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You know, coaching experience. Sure, Now, what do I have.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
In common with Reggie Bush? Not much USC. What do
we have in common, Matt You and I, Travis Matthew,
that's right now. After his interview, Reggie did some podcasting
and he recently told a reporter for SI some podcasts
(06:11):
that his dream is to coach USC. He doesn't coach,
but he said this is his quote. One the same
way that I helped him win national championships is the
same way I can help them with those championships. As
coach said this stat side uncle, as the great Scott Wolfard,
(06:34):
dear friend pointed out, Matt Reggie is suing the school
that he wants to coach for, and he's also suing
the Pac twelve for nil money, and he wants USC
to pay his legal fee. Reggie also wanted money just
to run the team out of the tunnel, which is
(06:58):
supposed to be like, you know, an honor.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I am incredibly honored and humbled. I would love to
run the team out of the tunnel.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, I mean, but I guess if that one guy
paid money for Penn State to run out with Penn State,
I guess maybe Reggie has. But there is nobody I know, Matt,
nobody who has burned more bridges, NFL Network, Heisman, trust USC,
the people he illegally took money from while he was
playing at USC.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's kind of where it started, right like, Hey, if
you just pay us back, we'll keep our mouths shut.
You go on your way, we go on ours.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Whatever stadium he sued for falling down. I mean, Reggie
now thinks USC wants to bring maybe the most litigious
player in their history back into the fold as the
coach to an already horribly volatile situation. Reggie Bush is
(07:59):
galactically stupid. God bless him. That's an accurate statement. Yeah,
I mean, God bless him. He must be the dumbest
man alive in a conversation. Now, he wasn't in every downback.
That's why Lendale White made his existence so spectacular and possible.
But he was without a doubt, and I was right
(08:20):
there for it on the road and at home and
saw the punt returns, all that stuff. The most exciting,
one of the most exciting electric players I have ever seen.
But he's done so much damage that almost all logical
people associated with the university and beyond know this guy's
(08:42):
an idiot, and he has been this way since he
was a player. Demanding a special car so he could
be on the cover of that Rims magazine.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, that's right, the Impala that didn't have a good
enough set of Rims or stereo system.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Now, I remember another Heisman winner, Matt who used to
demand money from the school just to show up at events,
Like you know you're in the Hall of Fame for
the school, or you're going to run the team out
of the tunnel. His name was O. J. Simpson, of course,
before he became a pariah and left town and USC
(09:22):
didn't want him around after the murder trail. I'm not
saying that Reggie's faith will be similar.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's just something, yeah, double murder versus you know, just
galactically stupid and it doesn't do an ounce of work.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Something that I remembered about a different USC Heisman winner. Again,
Reggie Bush wanted money to run the team out of
the tunnel. Is suing the university, is suing the Pac
twelve because of nil money. He felt that he is
owed because he generated so much money, even though he
(10:00):
took what you would call nil money illegally with impunity
while he was playing. He's suing the university, He's suing
the Pac twelve. Wants to be paid just to show
up and yes, his dream, though he has never coached,
is to coach USC football and perhaps following the footsteps
(10:24):
of Dion Sanders, Eddie George, Mike Vick, DeShawn Jackson, other
football greats or big names not as accomplished in the NFL.
Reggie was as those guys, but other big names who
have gone into coaching, some of which without a lot
of experience. Reggie, he has a thirst and it must
(10:46):
be quenched.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Mat Our friend Maurice Jones Drew, who also has an
itch to get into coaching, has been coaching running backs
and offense at Day La Salle for two years.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, but did he did he go up to Sack
State and get an interview?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know, he probably figured, you know what, let me
just kind of get some more reps, make sure I
got this thing, you know, and see if I can
get this to work first. And because I'm someone who
preps and works, and when I'm on Combine coverage, I
know exactly what every running back has strengths and weaknesses
in and I've done my research as opposed to just
sitting here and looking quizzically at the camera anytime I'm
(11:27):
called upon, because I haven't done a single bit of
research whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, Reggie just in the broadcast world. And I'm comfortable
enough to say this as he worked where you worked,
and he worked where I worked, burned bridges at both places.
Remember he got into a big contract dispute with Fox. Yes,
and then they brought him back one more year and
then that was it. And now they're super happy running back. Wise,
they for a Heisman guy. They have Ingram and they're
(11:54):
much happier with him obviously. But he just never understood
what is going to be required to even halfway pass
as the tea as a guy on TV.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
If he had done one tenth of what was required, yeah,
he would have been one hundred times better than he was.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
There is literally an army of people to hold you
up like a grunge rock concert, and you you you,
and you still can't succeed is pretty amazing. I'll admit
he looks good in Travis Math.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He does.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
It looks great, almost as good as Kates does. I'm
not going to go that far. Who does but nobody, nobody,
But just so you remember, let Reggie bush uh is,
he's out there and he wants to coach USC.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I will say that, I'm sure Lincoln Riley is terrified
for his future fate, knowing.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
He'll bring him in, you know, and Reggie could be like,
you know, the up and coming, like the coaching waiting.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Not interested, no, only wanted if right coach scally like
a coach and waited, not going to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I would say that I think Reggie Bush is more
likely to be the head coach at USC than let's
say that that I am.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, they.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Routinely call you and or don't invite you to things
and send word your way that they're not happy with
the way you're covering the team, right, but I'm not
suing them. No, So I think maybe there's a he
want a heisman. Heisman is back, but I want some money,
some money for it.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
He's more likely to be hired than I am.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You know what, I don't think so, because he wants it,
but I don't think I want it, doesn't want it,
does not matter. I think they'd be more likely, like,
let's just take the head coach. If honestly, if we're
taking this.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Somebody to put a gun to Jen Cohen's head and
said you could either have Petros or Reggie Bush.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I think if they said, hey, we need to hire
a running backs coach, it's not even close. Like it
is not even close. It would be unanimous that you
would be the player they would hire.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Oh that's not true. To absolutely, it would be Reggie
Bush that would be marketable. Kids would want to be
recruited by him. They don't want me walking into their
house smelling like weed with my hand down my path.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Sen here, you little sick tired of all this soft
ass running.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I saw him date what are you tonged? And someone
I don't know?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Whatever it is Polynesian? Interesting?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay, you wear cleats? Right?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He got a bathroom bean and cheese on the way over.
This's just not agreeing with me right now.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Sandwich? Is that a sandwich? All right? Well? Good luck
to Reggie. It is quest?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Could you plant the seed? Jenna want it?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I want the gig we got to bring back. I
couldn't coach running backs for Lincoln Riley Matt. We never
run the ball. It's all blitz pick up and hot routes,
bitch made.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Can you imagine Reggie in a living room? So why
why should my young why why should my son come
play for you?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Coach Bush?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You know, we just had Chip Kelly here recruiting him
to Ohio State, and we're very excited by the presentation.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I really don't like this autumn. And can I bring
a chair in from my car. We'll be right back

the idea. It is now time for the top story
(16:38):
of the day to Story of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, uh picked a good time to have my second
four and zero week of the season in the playoffs
thanks to a missed extra point in the Eagles Rams game,
and then Saturday and six and a half.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Sorry I didn't celebrate you right now, dare you? You know?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I have a bad week and everybody piles on I
have a good week, and the guy that keeps track
of it all doesn't even show up on Twitter. A
handful of things to get to though here as it
pertains to the Rams, and it was a pretty magical
back end of the season, a you know, great wild
card game after a miserable one and four start, when
(17:23):
speculation was rampant that Matthew Stafford might be on the move.
That's where this thing started. And it ends I can't
make those.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Sick heads on the plane. I just can't. Then, well, and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Maybe that's what happened. Maybe it wasn't the rips sadring
it come out to that, Kelly. Maybe it wasn't do
it and I was like, okay, I'll do it, not yet.
Maybe that's what it was. Maybe he didn't take a
shot to the ribs, you know, physical contact, but it
was all the phlegm that had finally built up from
the flu that he caught from his sick ass kids,
similar to what I said about the Chargers and how
the file game cast a pall over what otherwise was
(17:57):
an incredible season, hell of a start by Jim Harbaugh
remaking the culture, changing the identity of the Chargers team
to do his best to put an end to the
thought of Chargering losing games you seeing Bill have already
won with complete collapses late in the fourth quarter, losing
the teams on the schedule late in the year that
had no business beating you, and then maybe keeping you
out of the playoffs. All of that was pushed aside.
(18:19):
And the same goes for the Rams because they are
still in what should be they're rebuilding sort of time period.
After the not a lot of people expected Aaron Donald
to retire the best deensive player, overachieving. Yeah, traded Jalen Ramsey.
They kind of had to tear it all apart. They
had to eat all their dead cap, some monster contracts
(18:40):
that maybe were ill advised. They had to hand Matthew
Stafford in extension despite some injury concerns Cooper Cup in
that contract that they didn't want to rework, and just
kind of eat it and hit the big number this year,
he'll be a free agent this offseason, and then they
had to fill in pieces with a lot of mid
round draft picks, Kyle undrafted players, low priced one year
(19:04):
free agents that just fit perfectly. And this team is
We had discussed last week with arguably Tim's Tim Kats,
our producer's favorite interview that we've ever had on the show,
based on his reaction in the moment from outside.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Studio smooth Quinton Lake, Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Quinton Lake. We discussed the lowest paid defense in the
league at twenty nine million bucks, and they wrecked the
Minnesota offense that had averaged nearly thirty points per game
in the regular season in the wild card round with
nine sacks, piled up another seven against the Eagles, who
sport the best offensive line in the game. And while
he's an offensive mastermind, no denying, Sean mcvay's iford talent
(19:44):
combined with less sneed makes his defenses incredibly dangerous regardless
of what the names on the back of the jerseys read.
And this was an exceptional season, even though they may
have come up a little bit short. Rookies chair at
Verse Braden Fist, combining with young players like Kobe Turner
up front. It is a formidable bunch. They're all on
(20:04):
rookie contracts. It will continue to be one of the
lowest paid defensive units for the foreseeable future. And I
thought they were gonna pull it out on that final
drive after Kellen Moore inexplicably called a bootleg for Jalen Hurts,
who only had one knee working at the time, sacked
on the eagles final offensive drive that covered just fifteen
seconds with the Rams using their time out. It's Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Should I bootleg them to the right or should I
boot leg them to the left?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I would say just hand it to Saquon Barkley and
take your chances, because it doesn't appear as though Jalen
Hurts is able to walk, let alone run away from
defensive lineman then had been in the backfield all game
kill him.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
But hey, you do you?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Matthew Stafford was brilliant on the final two drives until
it finally caught up with the Rams. As we sat
on paper, Eagles were better at every single position save quarterback,
and if you want to call it, a position head coach,
and that nearly proved to be enough for the Ram
to take out a six and a half point favorite
and the team that is the current favorite to win
(21:04):
the Super Bowl. But fumbles by Matthew Stafford two of
them only lost one and Kyra and Williams he lost
it countless drops in the crazy conditions were too much
to overcome. Plus, Jalen Carter continues to be an absolute
wrecking machine that cannot be stopped and came up with
two monster plays that thwarted the final push that could
(21:27):
have netted the team the one point win thanks to
a missed extra point from Jake Elliott, something I almost
wonder could have fueled that Eagles d maybe a little
bit to just get a little bit extra effort to
avoid that freaking loss thanks to a kicker. Carter sacked
Stafford on the third and two at the Philly twenty two,
and then he got the pressure up the middle on
the fourth and eleven that led to the pass targeted
for Nikua that sailed out of bounce by about five
(21:47):
yards incomplete. I know you all saw it. I don't
need to reltigate it, but I bring it up because
Jalen Carter was another one of those players I.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Wasn't aware there was going to be litigation on the holiday.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You know, if only they would have got that off
a little bit earlier.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Well, there's a lot of that, especially where there's a
lot of weather and everybody's got the trouble keeping their
feet under him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Jalen Carter was another one of those guys, remember that had,
you know, owing right before the draft, the old laramie
tunsil bong mask that gets him to slip despite being
one of the highest graded left tackles that you'd seen
hit the draft in a long time. And Jalen Carter
was another one. He was involved. I think Jalen was
involved in the drag racing is what it was. And
(22:27):
it came out right before the draft, and a guy
that was cited as being an absolute lock top three
pick slides because of concerns about the press conference and
how will it be received by the media. This is
someone that was involved in a fatal drag racing incident.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That is exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
And yeah, he's uh probably gonna take the torch from
Aaron Donald is the best interior defensive lineman moving forward.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
In being sued for five million dollars, so I hope
he keeps going well.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
He's going to need that extend, then that's what he's
gonna need it. Maybe I'll be able to settle. You know,
kids are dumb. It does feed into my theory, though,
again to pat myself on the back, because who else
is gonna I shared after Week eighteen, in which the
Rams slipped to the four seed, that in part, while
Sean McVay was being celebrated for resting his starters in
(23:21):
order to get them as healthy as possible because they
didn't care about winning one game, they wanted to win four,
but that this Rams team absolutely matched up way better
with the Vikings and Lions than they did the Commanders
or the Eagles. And I think you're now seeing what
we've seen all year with Jayden Daniels, and that is
that he is as good as advertised, a rookie that
led his team to a twelve win season, someone who
(23:42):
has a pension for the big play when the big
play is needed most, and running quarterbacks have been a
pain in the ass for the Rams to deal with
all season long. The Eagles threw for sixty nine yards
and they won the game because the Rams struggle to
stop the run and they struggle with more quarterbacks, and
it was horrible weather, and it was absolutely got awful.
(24:05):
Can't get your footing, can't catch the ball. It got
worse and worse. But Saquon Barkley got him for two
fifty five in the first meeting and two hundred in
the playoff game. I think the Rams would have done
the same thing to the lines the Commanders did. A
team whose defense was threadbare just could not compete against
the NFL's best offense. Is in a postseason setting, it
(24:25):
finally caught.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Up to him.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Jared Goff did not help much with those untimely turnovers.
Regular season, you can slap some duct tape and bondo
on that thing and make it work. But against playoff
teams playing the best football in the league at the time,
not sustainable. And yes, Jared Goff had a terrible game.
Commander's offense simply could not be stopped by the defense.
(24:46):
One hundred percent. Sure that Sean McVay and Kiren Williams
and and those pass catchers inside the dome you know
in Detroit there Ford Field not exposed to the elements
that you get at the VET or whatever the that
is called now, the link or the the FIP or
I don't know who sponsors it now, but again, considering
(25:06):
the condition.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
The sea word.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
That's exactly word. That's right, man, you come in. You
know you're gonna get abused. You're so ugly. You shouldn't
be mouthy. You sea word.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're a sea word.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They said.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Matthew Stafford reportedly took a shot to the ribs early
that he was dealing with all game, but continued to
deliver in single digit temperatures and a freaking hail storm.
Never mentioned that his receivers let him down. They did
have a lot of drops, though, and certainly did not
look easy out there trying to catch that ball. The
Rams were hoping Stafford comes back next year, but he's
got said. Okay, see what they want to do and
(25:43):
how they want to approach. I would assume it's kind
of I tell us next time they want to playing
sick as a hole, let's I don't know whether or
not his lungs were fulled with phlegm because the whole
family was sick with the flu, and they should have
never boarded that play.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And I don't know she should boy the play. I
guess let me do a podcast about it.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Anxious to hear what Kelly has to say on the
pod this week about how brave courageous the beating that
her took.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Fire under man on the plane by staring another man
during the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I totally And there's somebody kind of says it's Tirrell
I got on fired.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They were talking on the broadcast about trying to run
more of a hurry up. Considering how well it went
on that penultimate drive, you would like to think that
Chris colin worse, Chris collins Worth and Mike Turrico probably
recognize that. Ye Eagles are you know, they're they're kind
of playing off a little bit here. They're up thirteen
and there's four minutes left, so yeah, they're kind of
moving down the field pretty easy. But it does seem
(26:44):
like there's a lot more cushion out there, and they're
just kind of trying to keep the guys in bounds
to maybe get this thing under two minutes by the
time they get the ball back in an effort to
you know, up thirteen points. But what do I know,
Maybe Collin's Worth has a point and Sean McVay should
have been running hurry up the entire game, and they
would have won by three or four touchdowns. Congratulations to
(27:06):
the Rams on a great season, even though it did
not end how they might have liked. Ashean McVay said,
a bit emotional, loved this group really believed that they
were going to win this game twenty nine to twenty eight,
until they weren't after the fourth down in completion. As
for the matchup America wanted, I would imagine it was
(27:26):
probably Lions versus either the Eagles or the Rams. Instead
they get Commanders versus Eagles, and NFC East tilt for
the third time this season, those two teams splitting the
regular season one and won, the Commanders winning the most
recent of those two. So good luck to them, And
(27:47):
I would just say I do think, I do think
it is warranted quickly. On the other side of things,
it did seem like those were a couple of BS
flags on the old unnecessary roughness and if you're gonna
if you're only gonna have one game in a window
and no other games in that window, you might want
to just go ahead and moving forward, add replay assist
(28:10):
to those kind of calls for next season.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
What tipped you off, Troy? Been going?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Oh, come on, right, then that's the direct quote. Oh,
come on, So I would assume maybe some adjustments will
be made that New York shouldn't have too much of
a problem making sure that a third down that allowed
a drive to be extended and result in a field
goal when there was no head to head contact or
helmet face contact, whatever it was they called. Then Will
Anderson and the three stooges like two defensive players bunking
(28:37):
into each other instead of a.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Home you're just bitter, chief. Let's go che I am.
It's the beauty of the lucky hat, the beauty of
the relationship between the pr guy and that homely girl.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
That was a movie that was a Hallmark movie. I
did not Actually it didn't happen. I don't think Ed
knows anything that happened. Major Allen represent America, vanquish his demons,
and have the bills put an end to this nightmare
once and for all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well, he doesn't have a cute animal like Katrick Mahomes
to represent him.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh my god, look at Taylor Swift totally braving the elements.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, let us Taylor Clark there and Kelsey Dad. Yeah,
they're in a suite.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They're not braving the elements.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Let's got you all right, We'll be back with more
great sports talk on AMPI seventy las.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
God it Taylor Swift braving the elements. That's incredible. It's
like Tailor gre is out there. Look at that outfit
dead all I've got to day coming up next. It's
good Chief, Thanks everybody for listening. And don't forget big
game coming, big one. We got a Clippers game tonight
(29:49):
mat at one of them rescheduled.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Game, biggest game of the year anywhere, any sport, any place,
will be heard right here tonight, January twentieth. Clippers Bulls
is where you want to be at seven thirty pm.
That's why we are off at the bottom of the
six o'clock hour. We'll do a meat and meat segment
before we hand it over to Adam Auslin. But man,
(30:11):
if you're lucky enough to be in that into It
Dome to see this incarnation of your Chicago Bulls against
a Clipper team that humiliated the Lakers and led the
Brown to say some well, have some pretty terse words
about his teammates in that post game, then here in
luck and you know the facial recognition and to read
your mind of what you want to eat and all
that's kind of cool too.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
They played me the Ray Clay Chicago Bulls music when
I did the starters for Palas Vernies versus Peninsula the
other night. Yohita, the nineties were the best.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
And then if you just listen to that song a
little bit too long and it goes into Iron the
Sky dude. Yeah, this part though, oh yeah, come on,
do you remember any of the any of the young
men that you introduced.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Leading the league in turnover? Here we go last place
versus second and last place. There was a kid for
Palas Verdes that just started raining down dunks on us
like so many balls of hail in a tough NFL
(31:30):
playoff game this time of year. And you know, I,
you know, I can't be too geekd for him, you know,
I mean, my god, their arrival, so I just had
to keep.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Going Talbot Corral, two points, Telbot Corral, two points, two.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Pots, and the kids showed up with thundersticks behind me,
Matt nice and then they were taken away from the children,
not because I complained, because noisemakers are apparently against CIF rules.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
That right. That, by the way, I love that part
of the song, because that's always when Ray backs off
a little bit after introducing Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
From three out of North Carolina, and.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Then all of a sudden he goes did him to me?
He's like, and the head coach of the Yeah, you
gotta just kind of dial dial it way back.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And then and then the lights come up and I'll
ride handshake.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
But you know what, Tim Floyd got pissed about that,
and he was like, how come I don't get any run?
You know because I used to really dial it back
and be like, Trojans are coached by Tim Floyd. But
but then I started going, your Trojans are coached by
Tim Floyd, and he give me the point, and so
what his big ball assistant there was a smoker, that guy,
Phil Johnson. Oh yeah, So then I started shouting him
(32:50):
out too.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Did we lose Phil?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I don't know, but I would start shouting him out too,
like Tim Floyd and assisted by Phil joneson and then
like double fests. Those were the days, Matt.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He it just turns into a yacht rocks.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It does. It does, which is what makes it so great.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And the Chicago Bulls are coached by Phil Jackson.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yeah, you always gotta bring it down. And then Ben
halland got pisss like why aren't you staying like you're
the opposing And then I gave him a little punch
once and then he gave me the mat. Those were
the days. O J Mayo Kevin Love out there the
ships come.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
On listen, May we return, May we return to those
solid days of Pa announcing instead of DJ Molski and
all his dumb ass grab ass games ruined everyone just
trying to watch the game. Molski, It's all I'm trying
to do. I don't need to play your Driver's license game.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I hope Tanter never goes to an SEC game. His
head would roll off his shoulders. Has your yodeling show
off record? Matter? Oh not? Nobody loves a yodeler more
than us, and we celebrate one of the great yodelers
of all time. Otis Slim Whitman. Slim Whitman, the og
yodeler from Tampa one hundred and two, today known as
(34:11):
the Smiling Starduster. He grew up like you, Matt admiring
the music of Gene Autry.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Oh I listened to forty five. I had every forty
five gene autry ever released.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
That's why we're right here by Griffith Park. You go
to the museum at least twice a week. I was like, Hey,
I'll drive up today to work. You're like, nope, nope,
going to.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
The museum having lunch, got an open faced hands and I'm.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Gonna go to Gena to hit the food truck right
outside of the Audrey and then we go in.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Slim Whitman served in World War Two in the South
Pacific ship.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
UH.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
He was very popular on his boat for his yodeling
and singing, and the somebody tried to transfer him and
the captain blocked the transfer to another ship, which was
lucky because that ship was destroyed and all hands were lost.
His yodeling saved his life in the world. Self taught
left handed guitarist, why because he was right handed but
(35:11):
almost lost a finger in a meat packing plant. Much
too distracted with the gene houtry.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Mine was the Deli Slice of though. You know, the
Deli meats almost got my pinky.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
One of his big groups, Matt before he went solo,
the Light Crust Doughboy.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If we do not like our crust overtoasted. We want
to bake our bread with a light crust.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
The Colonel Tom Parker, the evil guy that messed up Elvis.
He he blew up Slim Whitman, known for a time
as America's favorite folk singer. He was popular in America.
But believe it or not, And I say, I don't
say this like I would like a Jamaican star or something.
(35:55):
Sometimes it's true about a Jamaican star. But he was
wildly popular in Europe. Like you see these live shows
he did in Europe, like stadium shows.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's like the Beatles at Shay Stadium.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, Like he was huge in Europe. He was on
Johnny Carson and SETV made fun of him all the time.
One hundred albums, five hundred recorded songs, country, gospel, broadway tunes,
love songs and standards and we are your standard show
of record. They say he sold seventy million records in
(36:31):
his time. Then without TikTok, that's not easy to do.
One hundred albums, five hundred songs is obscene. It's just
the amount of work it must go into that well.
Much like we try to mostly avoid the standard sports
talk radio. Slim Whitman tried to avoid doing down on
(36:54):
your luck country songs, buried in booze country songs. Oh,
he had a more laid back singing style, once called
a country politan singer, bringing the culture to the country world.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Okay, like Cosmopolitans. Well you know you're being in Europe.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah, right, married once to the same chick. He's on
the Walk of Fame here. Even Daniel Johnson loved Slim
Whitman lived in Middleburg, Florida, at the family estate known
as Woodpecker Paradise. A mistaken oh bit in twenty eight
and he was like, oh, I'm not dead yet, but
(37:41):
died for real or not twenty thirteen at ninety Slim Whitman, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
You're a live guy, first time, and I believe we've
ever done long time. Yeah, Patrick, track at the payphone
at the Dream Center doesn't work. Patrick Carol Krupa fifty
six years old today. One of the all time great,
most famous hackers in the history of hacking, known to
(38:15):
those that know as Lord Digital.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
And we know man, Yes, I mean, nobody breaks firewalls
like you like Thanos.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Daily, part of the famous Legion of Doom, the famous,
not the one from.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
The super Friend. Right.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I know they didn't live in like that big head
building in a swamp, right, you know what, it wouldn't
surprise me if they did. Ted Knight announced their arrival
or departure and the Legion of Doom, part of the
Cult of the Dead Cow. He co founded mind Box,
one of the earliest internet providers. When they launched in
New York City in nineteen ninety one, he delivered internet
(38:54):
to the big.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Town, real hacking.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
He was born here in La His parents are brilliants.
Father and mother Czech immigrants who bailed when the Soviets
invaded in sixty eight. Parents divorced, so a mom took
off for the big town with the young Pat Ray
split time with each parent. When he visited his father,
a physicist, he was working on the supercomputer Cray.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
It was so Cray. How Cray it was? I mean
it had to be right, really breaking the ground.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
He was only eight years old when his father taught
pat how to program in four tran using punch cards,
got his own Apple to computer the same year, and
got after it. Said he spent pretty much every waking
moment on the thing. He was only twelve or thirteen
when Abby Hoffman's Youth International party lines Technological Assistance Program
meetings were going on and he was part of them.
(39:42):
A hacker at twelve, a counter culturist on the Lower
East Side at thirteen and tap as it was called
Technological Assistance Program was the first original hacker start of
underground zine in music terms, but a hacker publication. He
was publishing his hacking techniques got into some serious heavy
(40:07):
drug usage. Said his preference was the old speed ball
by the time he was fourteen, so probably just lucky
to be alive. By the time he hit sixteen. He
said he just wanted to wreck ass as much as possible.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, with his hacking stop yep.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Member of the first ever pirate cracking crew on the
Apple two, the Apple Mafia.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
That might be a good sign for Ryan Day.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Croupa's Phantom Access was the big hack of that time
that ruined a lot of people's lives or made things hard.
The Apple Mafia turned into Knights of Shadow until a
police well an FBI raid arrested most of those members,
but Kroupa on the Lamb managed to avoid that face
because nobody knew who he was. They just knew him
(40:51):
as King Digital, who ran the Legion of Doom, and
the Legion of Doom was the hacker group of record
until some folks branched off and emerged as challengers, the
Masters of Deception, and that launched the Great Hacker War.
They compared it to the Outfit versus the North Side Gang,
(41:12):
Capoe versus Hymey Weese, Sharks versus Jets. Secret service by
FBI gets involved, more arrests. Again, Krupa did not get popped.
He launched MindVox and then wrote what was considered to
be at the time the hackers Bible Voices in my
Head MindVox the Overture, and he ditched his alias Lord
(41:36):
Digital revealed himself became a star, a counterculture icon. He
was not only embraced by Rolling Stone in those sort
of publications, but The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal.
He became the it guy making the Internet available to
the general public. Troopa my Crupa, but of course is
(41:57):
usually used the case in these stories. The other drugs
would acho for a lot, oh no, yeah, a lot
of coke lot He's still alive, still alive, A lot
of LSD, A lot of heroin those speedballs.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
White too smart for some good. You know his brand. Yeah,
he was bipolar. Sherlock Holmes did a lot of cocaine.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Hey, and look what happened to him. In early nineteen
ninety Rocks the writer died. Yeah, early nineteen ninety six.
He vanished for over three years. He said he was Mexico,
Puerto Rico, Chuck Bangkok. Finally caught. His past caught up
to him. He was arrested, had to overcome his drug
(42:33):
addiction cold turkey. While in prison, they called it the
tomb where those white collar criminals went. And when released,
he went to the West Indies, got clean for good
using the natural psychedelic I Begain, and set out to
spread the word of its effectiveness in treating heroin addiction.
He came back to the US in two thousands, speaking
publicly on publicity tours promoting what he called a miracle drug.
(42:57):
He is now known as the High Priest of the
Sacrament of Transition iyber game and that's what he does.
He's a featured speaker at psychedelic and harm reduction conferences.
One of the all time great hackers. Happy fifty six
still alive, Patrick Crooper.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
And no Truth to the rumor that the character from
the video game King Coopa.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
There is any association, nothing that I could find, but
I would like to think maybe a slight tip of
the cap has.
Speaker 4 (43:27):
To be right, right, that biggest hacker in the world
at thirteen.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
I mean, all them Coopa troop is getting knocked out
to protect Yeah, Patrick Cooper right, all them bots got
popped and clipped by the FBI and the Secret.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
Service Masters of the Decepticons.
Speaker 2 (43:39):
You're not going to get to Lord Digital in the
Legion of Doom, No chance, You're crazy. I'm on the lamb,
I'm in bankco I think so.
Speaker 4 (43:45):
Uh, we got still a little more to go before
the Clippers balls, so stay with us. The Petro Sam

Might be the last week of the drive through on us.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's right, so help us out and help people out
with pet food, help pets out, pet supplies, hygiene products,
and gift cards.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I can't wait to get another one of those burritos.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It was nothing like eating a breakfast burrito around six
o'clock at night, hit the spot when we were watching
a dirt bike chase.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Dirt bike Chase, watch the Tommy tank work talk to
Tony VR. It was a great night, it really was.
It was something Matt today we're gonna do before we
get to the NFL stuff and before the college game
kicks here. We already talked to Danny can Alan. We
already talked some Ohio State and Michigan. But or excuse me,
Ohio State versus Notre Dame. It feels so similar, same thing.
(05:09):
The flip top story of the ilip you out, I will.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Put you out. This is the flip top story of
the day.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Secular Notre Dame. That's Michigan America's guest. Reggie Bush has
made some news, matt He interviewed for the Sacra Meadow
State head coaching job and eventually went to the guy
from the Go Go offense, somebody I'm pretty familiar with,
(05:38):
Brennan Marion, who was over at un LB as the
offensive coordinator, was an OC for SARK in Texas.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
You know, coaching experience. Sure, Now, what do I have.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
In common with Reggie Bush? Not much USC. What do
we have in common, Matt You and I, Travis Matthew,
that's right now. After his interview, Reggie did some podcasting
and he recently told a reporter for SI some podcasts
(06:11):
that his dream is to coach USC. He doesn't coach,
but he said this is his quote. One the same
way that I helped him win national championships is the
same way I can help them with those championships. As
coach said this stat side uncle, as the great Scott Wolfard,
(06:34):
dear friend pointed out, Matt Reggie is suing the school
that he wants to coach for, and he's also suing
the Pac twelve for nil money, and he wants USC
to pay his legal fee. Reggie also wanted money just
to run the team out of the tunnel, which is
(06:58):
supposed to be like, you know, an honor.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I am incredibly honored and humbled. I would love to
run the team out of the tunnel.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, I mean, but I guess if that one guy
paid money for Penn State to run out with Penn State,
I guess maybe Reggie has. But there is nobody I know, Matt,
nobody who has burned more bridges, NFL Network, Heisman, trust USC,
the people he illegally took money from while he was
playing at USC.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's kind of where it started, right like, Hey, if
you just pay us back, we'll keep our mouths shut.
You go on your way, we go on ours.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Whatever stadium he sued for falling down. I mean, Reggie
now thinks USC wants to bring maybe the most litigious
player in their history back into the fold as the
coach to an already horribly volatile situation. Reggie Bush is
(07:59):
galactically stupid. God bless him. That's an accurate statement. Yeah,
I mean, God bless him. He must be the dumbest
man alive in a conversation. Now, he wasn't in every downback.
That's why Lendale White made his existence so spectacular and possible.
But he was without a doubt, and I was right
(08:20):
there for it on the road and at home and
saw the punt returns, all that stuff. The most exciting,
one of the most exciting electric players I have ever seen.
But he's done so much damage that almost all logical
people associated with the university and beyond know this guy's
(08:42):
an idiot, and he has been this way since he
was a player. Demanding a special car so he could
be on the cover of that Rims magazine.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, that's right, the Impala that didn't have a good
enough set of Rims or stereo system.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Now, I remember another Heisman winner, Matt who used to
demand money from the school just to show up at events,
Like you know you're in the Hall of Fame for
the school, or you're going to run the team out
of the tunnel. His name was O. J. Simpson, of course,
before he became a pariah and left town and USC
(09:22):
didn't want him around after the murder trail. I'm not
saying that Reggie's faith will be similar.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's just something, yeah, double murder versus you know, just
galactically stupid and it doesn't do an ounce of work.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Something that I remembered about a different USC Heisman winner. Again,
Reggie Bush wanted money to run the team out of
the tunnel. Is suing the university, is suing the Pac
twelve because of nil money. He felt that he is
owed because he generated so much money, even though he
(10:00):
took what you would call nil money illegally with impunity
while he was playing. He's suing the university, He's suing
the Pac twelve. Wants to be paid just to show
up and yes, his dream, though he has never coached,
is to coach USC football and perhaps following the footsteps
(10:24):
of Dion Sanders, Eddie George, Mike Vick, DeShawn Jackson, other
football greats or big names not as accomplished in the NFL.
Reggie was as those guys, but other big names who
have gone into coaching, some of which without a lot
of experience. Reggie, he has a thirst and it must
(10:46):
be quenched.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Mat Our friend Maurice Jones Drew, who also has an
itch to get into coaching, has been coaching running backs
and offense at Day La Salle for two years.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah, but did he did he go up to Sack
State and get an interview?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know, he probably figured, you know what, let me
just kind of get some more reps, make sure I
got this thing, you know, and see if I can
get this to work first. And because I'm someone who
preps and works, and when I'm on Combine coverage, I
know exactly what every running back has strengths and weaknesses
in and I've done my research as opposed to just
sitting here and looking quizzically at the camera anytime I'm
(11:27):
called upon, because I haven't done a single bit of
research whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, Reggie just in the broadcast world. And I'm comfortable
enough to say this as he worked where you worked,
and he worked where I worked, burned bridges at both places.
Remember he got into a big contract dispute with Fox. Yes,
and then they brought him back one more year and
then that was it. And now they're super happy running back. Wise,
they for a Heisman guy. They have Ingram and they're
(11:54):
much happier with him obviously. But he just never understood
what is going to be required to even halfway pass
as the tea as a guy on TV.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
If he had done one tenth of what was required, yeah,
he would have been one hundred times better than he was.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
There is literally an army of people to hold you
up like a grunge rock concert, and you you you,
and you still can't succeed is pretty amazing. I'll admit
he looks good in Travis Math.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
He does.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
It looks great, almost as good as Kates does. I'm
not going to go that far. Who does but nobody, nobody,
But just so you remember, let Reggie bush uh is,
he's out there and he wants to coach USC.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I will say that, I'm sure Lincoln Riley is terrified
for his future fate, knowing.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
He'll bring him in, you know, and Reggie could be like,
you know, the up and coming, like the coaching waiting.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Not interested, no, only wanted if right coach scally like
a coach and waited, not going to do that.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
I would say that I think Reggie Bush is more
likely to be the head coach at USC than let's
say that that I am.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, they.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Routinely call you and or don't invite you to things
and send word your way that they're not happy with
the way you're covering the team, right, but I'm not
suing them. No, So I think maybe there's a he
want a heisman. Heisman is back, but I want some money,
some money for it.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
He's more likely to be hired than I am.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
You know what, I don't think so, because he wants it,
but I don't think I want it, doesn't want it,
does not matter. I think they'd be more likely, like,
let's just take the head coach. If honestly, if we're
taking this.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Somebody to put a gun to Jen Cohen's head and
said you could either have Petros or Reggie Bush.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I think if they said, hey, we need to hire
a running backs coach, it's not even close. Like it
is not even close. It would be unanimous that you
would be the player they would hire.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Oh that's not true. To absolutely, it would be Reggie
Bush that would be marketable. Kids would want to be
recruited by him. They don't want me walking into their
house smelling like weed with my hand down my path.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Sen here, you little sick tired of all this soft
ass running.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
I saw him date what are you tonged? And someone
I don't know?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Whatever it is Polynesian? Interesting?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay, you wear cleats? Right?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
He got a bathroom bean and cheese on the way over.
This's just not agreeing with me right now.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Sandwich? Is that a sandwich? All right? Well? Good luck
to Reggie. It is quest?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Could you plant the seed? Jenna want it?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I want the gig we got to bring back. I
couldn't coach running backs for Lincoln Riley Matt. We never
run the ball. It's all blitz pick up and hot routes,
bitch made.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Can you imagine Reggie in a living room? So why
why should my young why why should my son come
play for you?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Coach Bush?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You know, we just had Chip Kelly here recruiting him
to Ohio State, and we're very excited by the presentation.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I really don't like this autumn. And can I bring
a chair in from my car. We'll be right back
with the top story of the day with toms of
NFL Football. Thanks for listening everybody on this I'm a

the idea. It is now time for the top story
(16:38):
of the day to Story of the day.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Well, uh picked a good time to have my second
four and zero week of the season in the playoffs
thanks to a missed extra point in the Eagles Rams game,
and then Saturday and six and a half.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Sorry I didn't celebrate you right now, dare you? You know?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I have a bad week and everybody piles on I
have a good week, and the guy that keeps track
of it all doesn't even show up on Twitter. A
handful of things to get to though here as it
pertains to the Rams, and it was a pretty magical
back end of the season, a you know, great wild
card game after a miserable one and four start, when
(17:23):
speculation was rampant that Matthew Stafford might be on the move.
That's where this thing started. And it ends I can't
make those.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Sick heads on the plane. I just can't. Then, well, and.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Maybe that's what happened. Maybe it wasn't the rips sadring
it come out to that, Kelly. Maybe it wasn't do
it and I was like, okay, I'll do it, not yet.
Maybe that's what it was. Maybe he didn't take a
shot to the ribs, you know, physical contact, but it
was all the phlegm that had finally built up from
the flu that he caught from his sick ass kids,
similar to what I said about the Chargers and how
the file game cast a pall over what otherwise was
(17:57):
an incredible season, hell of a start by Jim Harbaugh
remaking the culture, changing the identity of the Chargers team
to do his best to put an end to the
thought of Chargering losing games you seeing Bill have already
won with complete collapses late in the fourth quarter, losing
the teams on the schedule late in the year that
had no business beating you, and then maybe keeping you
out of the playoffs. All of that was pushed aside.
(18:19):
And the same goes for the Rams because they are
still in what should be they're rebuilding sort of time period.
After the not a lot of people expected Aaron Donald
to retire the best deensive player, overachieving. Yeah, traded Jalen Ramsey.
They kind of had to tear it all apart. They
had to eat all their dead cap, some monster contracts
(18:40):
that maybe were ill advised. They had to hand Matthew
Stafford in extension despite some injury concerns Cooper Cup in
that contract that they didn't want to rework, and just
kind of eat it and hit the big number this year,
he'll be a free agent this offseason, and then they
had to fill in pieces with a lot of mid
round draft picks, Kyle undrafted players, low priced one year
(19:04):
free agents that just fit perfectly. And this team is
We had discussed last week with arguably Tim's Tim Kats,
our producer's favorite interview that we've ever had on the show,
based on his reaction in the moment from outside.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Studio smooth Quinton Lake, Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Quinton Lake. We discussed the lowest paid defense in the
league at twenty nine million bucks, and they wrecked the
Minnesota offense that had averaged nearly thirty points per game
in the regular season in the wild card round with
nine sacks, piled up another seven against the Eagles, who
sport the best offensive line in the game. And while
he's an offensive mastermind, no denying, Sean mcvay's iford talent
(19:44):
combined with less sneed makes his defenses incredibly dangerous regardless
of what the names on the back of the jerseys read.
And this was an exceptional season, even though they may
have come up a little bit short. Rookies chair at
Verse Braden Fist, combining with young players like Kobe Turner
up front. It is a formidable bunch. They're all on
(20:04):
rookie contracts. It will continue to be one of the
lowest paid defensive units for the foreseeable future. And I
thought they were gonna pull it out on that final
drive after Kellen Moore inexplicably called a bootleg for Jalen Hurts,
who only had one knee working at the time, sacked
on the eagles final offensive drive that covered just fifteen
seconds with the Rams using their time out. It's Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Should I bootleg them to the right or should I
boot leg them to the left?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I would say just hand it to Saquon Barkley and
take your chances, because it doesn't appear as though Jalen
Hurts is able to walk, let alone run away from
defensive lineman then had been in the backfield all game
kill him.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
But hey, you do you?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Matthew Stafford was brilliant on the final two drives until
it finally caught up with the Rams. As we sat
on paper, Eagles were better at every single position save quarterback,
and if you want to call it, a position head coach,
and that nearly proved to be enough for the Ram
to take out a six and a half point favorite
and the team that is the current favorite to win
(21:04):
the Super Bowl. But fumbles by Matthew Stafford two of
them only lost one and Kyra and Williams he lost
it countless drops in the crazy conditions were too much
to overcome. Plus, Jalen Carter continues to be an absolute
wrecking machine that cannot be stopped and came up with
two monster plays that thwarted the final push that could
(21:27):
have netted the team the one point win thanks to
a missed extra point from Jake Elliott, something I almost
wonder could have fueled that Eagles d maybe a little
bit to just get a little bit extra effort to
avoid that freaking loss thanks to a kicker. Carter sacked
Stafford on the third and two at the Philly twenty two,
and then he got the pressure up the middle on
the fourth and eleven that led to the pass targeted
for Nikua that sailed out of bounce by about five
(21:47):
yards incomplete. I know you all saw it. I don't
need to reltigate it, but I bring it up because
Jalen Carter was another one of those players I.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Wasn't aware there was going to be litigation on the holiday.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
You know, if only they would have got that off
a little bit earlier.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Well, there's a lot of that, especially where there's a
lot of weather and everybody's got the trouble keeping their
feet under him.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Jalen Carter was another one of those guys, remember that had,
you know, owing right before the draft, the old laramie
tunsil bong mask that gets him to slip despite being
one of the highest graded left tackles that you'd seen
hit the draft in a long time. And Jalen Carter
was another one. He was involved. I think Jalen was
involved in the drag racing is what it was. And
(22:27):
it came out right before the draft, and a guy
that was cited as being an absolute lock top three
pick slides because of concerns about the press conference and
how will it be received by the media. This is
someone that was involved in a fatal drag racing incident.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That is exactly what it was.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
And yeah, he's uh probably gonna take the torch from
Aaron Donald is the best interior defensive lineman moving forward.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
In being sued for five million dollars, so I hope
he keeps going well.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
He's going to need that extend, then that's what he's
gonna need it. Maybe I'll be able to settle. You know,
kids are dumb. It does feed into my theory, though,
again to pat myself on the back, because who else
is gonna I shared after Week eighteen, in which the
Rams slipped to the four seed, that in part, while
Sean McVay was being celebrated for resting his starters in
(23:21):
order to get them as healthy as possible because they
didn't care about winning one game, they wanted to win four,
but that this Rams team absolutely matched up way better
with the Vikings and Lions than they did the Commanders
or the Eagles. And I think you're now seeing what
we've seen all year with Jayden Daniels, and that is
that he is as good as advertised, a rookie that
led his team to a twelve win season, someone who
(23:42):
has a pension for the big play when the big
play is needed most, and running quarterbacks have been a
pain in the ass for the Rams to deal with
all season long. The Eagles threw for sixty nine yards
and they won the game because the Rams struggle to
stop the run and they struggle with more quarterbacks, and
it was horrible weather, and it was absolutely got awful.
(24:05):
Can't get your footing, can't catch the ball. It got
worse and worse. But Saquon Barkley got him for two
fifty five in the first meeting and two hundred in
the playoff game. I think the Rams would have done
the same thing to the lines the Commanders did. A
team whose defense was threadbare just could not compete against
the NFL's best offense. Is in a postseason setting, it
(24:25):
finally caught.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Up to him.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Jared Goff did not help much with those untimely turnovers.
Regular season, you can slap some duct tape and bondo
on that thing and make it work. But against playoff
teams playing the best football in the league at the time,
not sustainable. And yes, Jared Goff had a terrible game.
Commander's offense simply could not be stopped by the defense.
(24:46):
One hundred percent. Sure that Sean McVay and Kiren Williams
and and those pass catchers inside the dome you know
in Detroit there Ford Field not exposed to the elements
that you get at the VET or whatever the that
is called now, the link or the the FIP or
I don't know who sponsors it now, but again, considering
(25:06):
the condition.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
The sea word.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
That's exactly word. That's right, man, you come in. You
know you're gonna get abused. You're so ugly. You shouldn't
be mouthy. You sea word.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
You're a sea word.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They said.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Matthew Stafford reportedly took a shot to the ribs early
that he was dealing with all game, but continued to
deliver in single digit temperatures and a freaking hail storm.
Never mentioned that his receivers let him down. They did
have a lot of drops, though, and certainly did not
look easy out there trying to catch that ball. The
Rams were hoping Stafford comes back next year, but he's
got said. Okay, see what they want to do and
(25:43):
how they want to approach. I would assume it's kind
of I tell us next time they want to playing
sick as a hole, let's I don't know whether or
not his lungs were fulled with phlegm because the whole
family was sick with the flu, and they should have
never boarded that play.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And I don't know she should boy the play. I
guess let me do a podcast about it.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Anxious to hear what Kelly has to say on the
pod this week about how brave courageous the beating that
her took.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Fire under man on the plane by staring another man
during the flight.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I totally And there's somebody kind of says it's Tirrell
I got on fired.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They were talking on the broadcast about trying to run
more of a hurry up. Considering how well it went
on that penultimate drive, you would like to think that
Chris colin worse, Chris collins Worth and Mike Turrico probably
recognize that. Ye Eagles are you know, they're they're kind
of playing off a little bit here. They're up thirteen
and there's four minutes left, so yeah, they're kind of
moving down the field pretty easy. But it does seem
(26:44):
like there's a lot more cushion out there, and they're
just kind of trying to keep the guys in bounds
to maybe get this thing under two minutes by the
time they get the ball back in an effort to
you know, up thirteen points. But what do I know,
Maybe Collin's Worth has a point and Sean McVay should
have been running hurry up the entire game, and they
would have won by three or four touchdowns. Congratulations to
(27:06):
the Rams on a great season, even though it did
not end how they might have liked. Ashean McVay said,
a bit emotional, loved this group really believed that they
were going to win this game twenty nine to twenty eight,
until they weren't after the fourth down in completion. As
for the matchup America wanted, I would imagine it was
(27:26):
probably Lions versus either the Eagles or the Rams. Instead
they get Commanders versus Eagles, and NFC East tilt for
the third time this season, those two teams splitting the
regular season one and won, the Commanders winning the most
recent of those two. So good luck to them, And
(27:47):
I would just say I do think, I do think
it is warranted quickly. On the other side of things,
it did seem like those were a couple of BS
flags on the old unnecessary roughness and if you're gonna
if you're only gonna have one game in a window
and no other games in that window, you might want
to just go ahead and moving forward, add replay assist
(28:10):
to those kind of calls for next season.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
What tipped you off, Troy? Been going?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Oh, come on, right, then that's the direct quote. Oh,
come on, So I would assume maybe some adjustments will
be made that New York shouldn't have too much of
a problem making sure that a third down that allowed
a drive to be extended and result in a field
goal when there was no head to head contact or
helmet face contact, whatever it was they called. Then Will
Anderson and the three stooges like two defensive players bunking
(28:37):
into each other instead of a.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Home you're just bitter, chief. Let's go che I am.
It's the beauty of the lucky hat, the beauty of
the relationship between the pr guy and that homely girl.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
That was a movie that was a Hallmark movie. I
did not Actually it didn't happen. I don't think Ed
knows anything that happened. Major Allen represent America, vanquish his demons,
and have the bills put an end to this nightmare
once and for all.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Well, he doesn't have a cute animal like Katrick Mahomes
to represent him.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh my god, look at Taylor Swift totally braving the elements.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, let us Taylor Clark there and Kelsey Dad. Yeah,
they're in a suite.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
They're not braving the elements.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Let's got you all right, We'll be back with more
great sports talk on AMPI seventy las.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
God it Taylor Swift braving the elements. That's incredible. It's
like Tailor gre is out there. Look at that outfit
dead all I've got to day coming up next. It's
good Chief, Thanks everybody for listening. And don't forget big
game coming, big one. We got a Clippers game tonight
(29:49):
mat at one of them rescheduled.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Game, biggest game of the year anywhere, any sport, any place,
will be heard right here tonight, January twentieth. Clippers Bulls
is where you want to be at seven thirty pm.
That's why we are off at the bottom of the
six o'clock hour. We'll do a meat and meat segment
before we hand it over to Adam Auslin. But man,
(30:11):
if you're lucky enough to be in that into It
Dome to see this incarnation of your Chicago Bulls against
a Clipper team that humiliated the Lakers and led the
Brown to say some well, have some pretty terse words
about his teammates in that post game, then here in
luck and you know the facial recognition and to read
your mind of what you want to eat and all
that's kind of cool too.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
They played me the Ray Clay Chicago Bulls music when
I did the starters for Palas Vernies versus Peninsula the
other night. Yohita, the nineties were the best.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
And then if you just listen to that song a
little bit too long and it goes into Iron the
Sky dude. Yeah, this part though, oh yeah, come on,
do you remember any of the any of the young
men that you introduced.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Leading the league in turnover? Here we go last place
versus second and last place. There was a kid for
Palas Verdes that just started raining down dunks on us
like so many balls of hail in a tough NFL
(31:30):
playoff game this time of year. And you know, I,
you know, I can't be too geekd for him, you know,
I mean, my god, their arrival, so I just had
to keep.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Going Talbot Corral, two points, Telbot Corral, two points, two.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Pots, and the kids showed up with thundersticks behind me,
Matt nice and then they were taken away from the children,
not because I complained, because noisemakers are apparently against CIF rules.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
That right. That, by the way, I love that part
of the song, because that's always when Ray backs off
a little bit after introducing Michael Jordan.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
From three out of North Carolina, and.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Then all of a sudden he goes did him to me?
He's like, and the head coach of the Yeah, you
gotta just kind of dial dial it way back.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And then and then the lights come up and I'll
ride handshake.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
But you know what, Tim Floyd got pissed about that,
and he was like, how come I don't get any run?
You know because I used to really dial it back
and be like, Trojans are coached by Tim Floyd. But
but then I started going, your Trojans are coached by
Tim Floyd, and he give me the point, and so
what his big ball assistant there was a smoker, that guy,
Phil Johnson. Oh yeah, So then I started shouting him
(32:50):
out too.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Did we lose Phil?
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I don't know, but I would start shouting him out too,
like Tim Floyd and assisted by Phil joneson and then
like double fests. Those were the days, Matt.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He it just turns into a yacht rocks.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
It does. It does, which is what makes it so great.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And the Chicago Bulls are coached by Phil Jackson.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Yeah, you always gotta bring it down. And then Ben
halland got pisss like why aren't you staying like you're
the opposing And then I gave him a little punch
once and then he gave me the mat. Those were
the days. O J Mayo Kevin Love out there the
ships come.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
On listen, May we return, May we return to those
solid days of Pa announcing instead of DJ Molski and
all his dumb ass grab ass games ruined everyone just
trying to watch the game. Molski, It's all I'm trying
to do. I don't need to play your Driver's license game.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
I hope Tanter never goes to an SEC game. His
head would roll off his shoulders. Has your yodeling show
off record? Matter? Oh not? Nobody loves a yodeler more
than us, and we celebrate one of the great yodelers
of all time. Otis Slim Whitman. Slim Whitman, the og
yodeler from Tampa one hundred and two, today known as
(34:11):
the Smiling Starduster. He grew up like you, Matt admiring
the music of Gene Autry.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Oh I listened to forty five. I had every forty
five gene autry ever released.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
That's why we're right here by Griffith Park. You go
to the museum at least twice a week. I was like, Hey,
I'll drive up today to work. You're like, nope, nope,
going to.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
The museum having lunch, got an open faced hands and I'm.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Gonna go to Gena to hit the food truck right
outside of the Audrey and then we go in.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Slim Whitman served in World War Two in the South
Pacific ship.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
UH.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
He was very popular on his boat for his yodeling
and singing, and the somebody tried to transfer him and
the captain blocked the transfer to another ship, which was
lucky because that ship was destroyed and all hands were lost.
His yodeling saved his life in the world. Self taught
left handed guitarist, why because he was right handed but
(35:11):
almost lost a finger in a meat packing plant. Much
too distracted with the gene houtry.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Mine was the Deli Slice of though. You know, the
Deli meats almost got my pinky.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
One of his big groups, Matt before he went solo,
the Light Crust Doughboy.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
If we do not like our crust overtoasted. We want
to bake our bread with a light crust.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
The Colonel Tom Parker, the evil guy that messed up Elvis.
He he blew up Slim Whitman, known for a time
as America's favorite folk singer. He was popular in America.
But believe it or not, And I say, I don't
say this like I would like a Jamaican star or something.
(35:55):
Sometimes it's true about a Jamaican star. But he was
wildly popular in Europe. Like you see these live shows
he did in Europe, like stadium shows.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
It's like the Beatles at Shay Stadium.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Yeah, Like he was huge in Europe. He was on
Johnny Carson and SETV made fun of him all the time.
One hundred albums, five hundred recorded songs, country, gospel, broadway tunes,
love songs and standards and we are your standard show
of record. They say he sold seventy million records in
(36:31):
his time. Then without TikTok, that's not easy to do.
One hundred albums, five hundred songs is obscene. It's just
the amount of work it must go into that well.
Much like we try to mostly avoid the standard sports
talk radio. Slim Whitman tried to avoid doing down on
(36:54):
your luck country songs, buried in booze country songs. Oh,
he had a more laid back singing style, once called
a country politan singer, bringing the culture to the country world.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Okay, like Cosmopolitans. Well you know you're being in Europe.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Yeah, right, married once to the same chick. He's on
the Walk of Fame here. Even Daniel Johnson loved Slim
Whitman lived in Middleburg, Florida, at the family estate known
as Woodpecker Paradise. A mistaken oh bit in twenty eight
and he was like, oh, I'm not dead yet, but
(37:41):
died for real or not twenty thirteen at ninety Slim Whitman, beautiful.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
You're a live guy, first time, and I believe we've
ever done long time. Yeah, Patrick, track at the payphone
at the Dream Center doesn't work. Patrick Carol Krupa fifty
six years old today. One of the all time great,
most famous hackers in the history of hacking, known to
(38:15):
those that know as Lord Digital.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
And we know man, Yes, I mean, nobody breaks firewalls
like you like Thanos.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Daily, part of the famous Legion of Doom, the famous,
not the one from.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
The super Friend. Right.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I know they didn't live in like that big head
building in a swamp, right, you know what, it wouldn't
surprise me if they did. Ted Knight announced their arrival
or departure and the Legion of Doom, part of the
Cult of the Dead Cow. He co founded mind Box,
one of the earliest internet providers. When they launched in
New York City in nineteen ninety one, he delivered internet
(38:54):
to the big.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Town, real hacking.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
He was born here in La His parents are brilliants.
Father and mother Czech immigrants who bailed when the Soviets
invaded in sixty eight. Parents divorced, so a mom took
off for the big town with the young Pat Ray
split time with each parent. When he visited his father,
a physicist, he was working on the supercomputer Cray.
Speaker 4 (39:16):
It was so Cray. How Cray it was? I mean
it had to be right, really breaking the ground.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
He was only eight years old when his father taught
pat how to program in four tran using punch cards,
got his own Apple to computer the same year, and
got after it. Said he spent pretty much every waking
moment on the thing. He was only twelve or thirteen
when Abby Hoffman's Youth International party lines Technological Assistance Program
meetings were going on and he was part of them.
(39:42):
A hacker at twelve, a counter culturist on the Lower
East Side at thirteen and tap as it was called
Technological Assistance Program was the first original hacker start of
underground zine in music terms, but a hacker publication. He
was publishing his hacking techniques got into some serious heavy
(40:07):
drug usage. Said his preference was the old speed ball
by the time he was fourteen, so probably just lucky
to be alive. By the time he hit sixteen. He
said he just wanted to wreck ass as much as possible.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, with his hacking stop yep.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Member of the first ever pirate cracking crew on the
Apple two, the Apple Mafia.
Speaker 4 (40:28):
That might be a good sign for Ryan Day.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
Croupa's Phantom Access was the big hack of that time
that ruined a lot of people's lives or made things hard.
The Apple Mafia turned into Knights of Shadow until a
police well an FBI raid arrested most of those members,
but Kroupa on the Lamb managed to avoid that face
because nobody knew who he was. They just knew him
(40:51):
as King Digital, who ran the Legion of Doom, and
the Legion of Doom was the hacker group of record
until some folks branched off and emerged as challengers, the
Masters of Deception, and that launched the Great Hacker War.
They compared it to the Outfit versus the North Side Gang,
(41:12):
Capoe versus Hymey Weese, Sharks versus Jets. Secret service by
FBI gets involved, more arrests. Again, Krupa did not get popped.
He launched MindVox and then wrote what was considered to
be at the time the hackers Bible Voices in my
Head MindVox the Overture, and he ditched his alias Lord
(41:36):
Digital revealed himself became a star, a counterculture icon. He
was not only embraced by Rolling Stone in those sort
of publications, but The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal.
He became the it guy making the Internet available to
the general public. Troopa my Crupa, but of course is
(41:57):
usually used the case in these stories. The other drugs
would acho for a lot, oh no, yeah, a lot
of coke lot He's still alive, still alive, A lot
of LSD, A lot of heroin those speedballs.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
White too smart for some good. You know his brand. Yeah,

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Hey, and look what happened to him. In early nineteen
ninety Rocks the writer died. Yeah, early nineteen ninety six.
He vanished for over three years. He said he was Mexico,
Puerto Rico, Chuck Bangkok. Finally caught. His past caught up
to him. He was arrested, had to overcome his drug
(42:33):
addiction cold turkey. While in prison, they called it the
tomb where those white collar criminals went. And when released,
he went to the West Indies, got clean for good
using the natural psychedelic I Begain, and set out to
spread the word of its effectiveness in treating heroin addiction.
He came back to the US in two thousands, speaking
publicly on publicity tours promoting what he called a miracle drug.
(42:57):
He is now known as the High Priest of the
Sacrament of Transition iyber game and that's what he does.
He's a featured speaker at psychedelic and harm reduction conferences.
