Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome everyone to SI Media with Jimmy Traina thank you
for listening, Happy New Year. We have an All Train
of Thoughts edition with my buddy Salacatta'm actually supposed to
be on vacation, but there's been so much stuff going
on that I had to do a pod just to
chime in on some of the topics from the past week.
Last week we had our Year in Review Best of
twenty twenty three show with Peter Scheger and Andrew Pearloffs.
(00:25):
If you missed that, check that out. That was taped
two weeks ago, so I haven't really chimed in on
some topics. So Sal and I cover everything that's gone
on in the last week to ten days. We covered
the Lions Cowboys debacle at the end with referee Brett Allen.
We talked about Alabama, Michigan, Washington, Texas. I have some
thoughts on the new Sirius xm app which is atrocious,
(00:49):
Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel, The Rock returns to the
WWE sets up a matrict Roman Reigns. Got some thoughts
on the Iron Claw, which I saw with the break
with sal So and some NFL Week eighteen thoughts. So
all of that coming up. Like I said, last week
was the twenty twenty three Year in Review roundtable with
(01:09):
Schrager and Proloff, so check that out. Recent guests at
the end of the year mjf from AW Seth Rollins
from w W BOOKA, McFarland, Mike Turco, all on SIM Media,
Jimmy Trainer. So if you missed any of those, check
those out. All right, let's get to it. All Train
of Thoughts with Salakata right here, right now on SI
Media with Jimmy Trann all right, joining me. Now, this
(01:32):
is going to be an old Train of Thoughts edition.
So we have on my weekly contributor and my buddy
from WFA and Radio in New York, SNYTV in New York, Salakata,
sal How are you? How is the holiday?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Happy New Year? Oh, it's great to be back with you.
It just goes too fair. It was nice, but it
goes too fast. I feel like as you get older.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's why I took two weeks off because last week
was not like a vacation week. This is finally a
vacation week, but I'm doing a podcast, so it's not
even really a full vacation. But last week did not
feel like a vacation week at.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
All, brilliant and I didn't. I haven't had the opportunity
to take off the year or the week between Christmas
and New Year's in a long time, so I was
excited for it. But I remembered after doing it that
you're right, it's not a vacation week because before the
holiday you're doing shit. Then you have the holiday, Christmas, Dve,
Christmas Day, you're doing shit. Not until after it's over
(02:27):
do you actually have some time to yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Right, every day there's something going on that week. Yeah,
you know, leading into New Year's. So yeah, so not
a vacation week. And I saw sal last week. We
went to see The Iron Claw about the Van Eric family.
I think we both had the same takeaway, like we
thought it was good, we didn't think it was great.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I was just telling somebody about this the other day too.
That and I love you know you and I both familiar,
like I love the wrestling movies, the old stuff. I
can't get enough of that. I was expecting a lot more.
It was dark. It was good, it just was not great.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, I knew it was going to be dark and depressing.
I thought Zach Efron was phenomenal. Right, he was very good.
I would have liked more of maybe the wrestling stuff,
maybe a little more on I don't know. I wanted more,
I guess is what my disappointment was. But it was
(03:28):
still good. It just wasn't great.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I would have liked to Look, I'm only familiar with really,
I mean, I know some of the story, and I
saw the Dark Side of the Ring episode before whenever
they aired it. I didn't watch it before going into
the movie, but I've seen it before and I thought
it was interesting. Okay, fine, but I wanted more on
the Texas Tornado because that's who I grew up knowing
of the bunch, even in his limited run in WWF
at the time, so that like I'm trying to piece
(03:53):
things together and figure out again, it was good. I
thought the acting was terrific. I just it was a
good movie, wasn't I didn't love it and I was
really looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, I think I agree. I thought it was good.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
What was what was darker? The movie or the fact
that we had to pay twenty bucks for a small
popcorn in a soda.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
God small popcorn was nine fifty you somehow, I snuck
in a bottle of water. You go and buy the
popcorn and the water, and they banged it for eighteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I couldn't. Now, I usually don't complain about that whatever
it is in is amount of the movies. But I
was like, I got two things, one of which is
a small popcorn, and I beat twenty bulls eighteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Come on, small popcorn and a bottle of water, and
sal had to shell out eighteen bucks. I got a
small popcorn and only eight about a third of it.
It was a complete waste of my money. But I
snuck in the water.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I should have got a lord ipcorn.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I won't get into how you were the one who
got the tickets and then didn't get us the reclining seats.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They don't have reclining seats. The theater doesn't have it.
Who thinks that a theater doesn't have reclining theater? It
should be standard? Yeah, I mean maybe never again that the.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Here's the thing about the reclining seats is I like,
I can't see a movie now if it's not in
the reclining seats.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They weren't bad, though, Like I didn't feel uncomfortable like
when we went to see Air in the City in
the which was one of my favorite theaters in the
city on the Upper West Side. That was an uncomfortable
seats like those are old school. This, at least, I felt,
was better than that, but not reclining.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I need the leather recliners.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Speaking of uncomfortable, one last thing on this, Yeah, there
was a row of people right in front of us
talking throughout the fucking movie and it was driving me nuts.
And it was one of these guys like, oh see
that Rick Flair. Oh, by the way, the Ric Flair
actor was horrible. We didn't even talk about that afterward.
I forgot to mention I didn't like him at all.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I didn't think he was horrible. I just didn't think
he had the voice was not good.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It just it just was. There was nothing about him
that said Rick click anyway, like anytime, oh you know
this is one this guy wan like they would, and
they were loud and talking across a row. Now we
you and I Jimmy did not say anything. However, somebody
midway through the movie behind us goes, will you guys
shut the fuck up? And I was like, oh boy,
(06:21):
I started to get a little antsy.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
See. I was confused by the whole because the guys
in the row in front of us, who I didn't
think they were talking that much. But whenever they did talk,
they were very loud and everyone could hear what they
which was just like there was no like you're in
the movies, try to whisper thing going on. They would
just shut out whatever they wanted to say. But it
(06:47):
was the guys in the row behind us who told
them to shut the fuck up. And I didn't think
they were going to talk to the people too, Like
I thought there was someone next to them, and then
you were putting out it was those guys. Yeah, I mean, and.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know what I was thinking the whole time, I'm like, man,
I really hope the guy behind us doesn't think it's
me that's doing the talking. I don't want any problems.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, it was a whole row of them. I think
he would have realized it was he knew who it was.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
God I wanted to do. I should have stood up
on a plot of them, because what he said was
exactly what I was thinking. I just didn't. I wouldn't
say it. I just suck it up and move on.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I guess you know, well, yeah, listen, people during a
movie might whisper something to whoever they're sitting next to
once in a while they might get it. There was
no whispering, there was no lowering of the voice. They
were talking at this level in the movie theater. It
was like there was a row of four of them.
So I guess they wanted everyone in the road to hear.
(07:42):
So they would just shout out like. It wasn't like,
oh God, oh that's Rick Clair, was like there's Ric Flair.
It was like, yeah, you hear in the movies about
any self awareness.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, that's the problem. They did not. It was like
they were in their own living room, which I just
it offends me to the highest of levels.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, people are animals, that's the bottom anyway. All right,
I have a list of topics to discuss here. Okay,
some of you will be into, some of you probably
won't be, but I think you'll be into the I
gotta so, I was supposed to. I had to do
a podcast just because I feel like there's a lot
going on, so I wanted to just catch up on
some topics. It's a little late on it, but I
want to discuss the end of the Lions Cowboys game. Okay,
(08:25):
because everyone flipped out about the referee screwing up. What
else is new?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And then I feel like there's been like this sort
of like now everyone's trying to have a correction on it,
and there are people are blaming the Lions for getting
too cute and sending three offensive linemen onto the field
and they were trying to confuse people. Blah blah blah.
That all may be true, but so now a team
(08:54):
can't try to confuse an opponent or run some trickery
because we have to be afraid that the ref is
an idiot. Like I have no doubt in my mind
that Taylor Ladecer reported as eligible. They're not gonna run
(09:16):
that play. He's not gonna be the guy who's gonna
get the ball thrown to him. He's not gonna be
the guy who catches the touchdown. And he didn't report eligible.
He absolutely reported eligible. The ref got confused and screwed
everything up, And now people are saying, well, they send
three offensive linemen towards the ref, they try, they confuse
(09:37):
the ref. It's their fault. The ref is supposed to
do his job and get it right number one and
number two. If you watch the video, the ref doesn't
even pay attention to them when they're taught, Like he's
walking away from them as they approach him. He didn't
like try to get it right. He didn't try to focus,
he didn't try to he was like walking away. So
(10:00):
the reverse now of people trying to blame the Lions
is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, I mean, I don't see how you can blame
the Lions. That to me is just idiotic. They It
just shows you though with replay, with all the stuff
that's challengeable, reviewable, they're never going to get it right,
which is why I hate the whole thing to begin with.
There's always going to be bitching and complaining, but you
certainly can't get on the Lions for coming up with
(10:24):
a play to win the game a creative spot. You're
not gonna run that all the time. They unveiled it
in the right spot, they executed the right way, and
they get screwed by the officials. I mean, end of story.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And then you know, and the people who go on
the drum beat for like make the officials full time officials.
If Brad Allen was like you think if Brad Allen
in May was doing some like NFL officiating where he
would have got that right. No, he still would have
screwed it up, right. But people blaming the Lions because
(10:56):
of you know, they're trying to like trick and play
games like that's what there's a to do, and the
ref is supposed to get it right.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, in the NFL works right, and then the NFL
and they're complete in total arrogance and their refusal to
admit that their refs are terrible. Puts Brad Allen this
Saturday on the Steelers Ravens game, which you know the
Steelers need if they want to make the playoffs, which
is a national game on ESPN, standalone game, Like the
(11:25):
NFL is now going to say fuck you to everyone.
We're gonna stand by this guy who got it wrong
and messed up.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Wasn't there wasn't there a story that said they were
going to be demoted to not make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
No, they're doing it. They're doing Ravens Steelers Saturday on
ESPN at four thirty, right.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But that's obviously it's not a playoff game. But I
thought I read somewhere and it could just be bullshit
because I saw it on Twitter, but I thought I
read that they were going to be demoted, not to
a playoff game.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So I didn't see that. The NFL come out and
defend that. At the end of the NFL released the
video to say this is how you're supposed to report
is eligible. They're defending the guy the Yeah, okay, ridiculous.
Did you I know you're not a huge college football guy,
but did you watch any of the game the playoff games?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I did, I because I bet Alabama in a teaser
with the Knicks, so I was in.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That actual So you had plus eight, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I got a plus eight. I ended up winning that.
I also had them in a parlage would be told
plus two, but obviously I lost that one. I just
I didn't watch college football all year long. I just
go by SEC's always better than every other conference, so
why not roll with Bama? So I did watch that game.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, Well, a couple of things. The Alabama Michigan game
drew twenty seven point two million viewers, which is a
min and Washington, Texas following it eighteen point four million,
So it goes to show you the appeal of the
big time program. Alabama and Michigan doesn't get any than
(13:00):
that in college football, So the the sort of you know,
brand name teams are always going to be better time slot.
The other game started at nine o'clock and did at
one o'clock in the morning. College, Well, yeah, they have
to do they have to fix something. They have to
do something about that. You can't kick it off at
nine o'clock. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You're right though, because if it were like I wasn't
intrigued really by Texas and Washington. I didn't bet it,
luckily because they probably would have taken Texas in that.
But as somebody who has not watched a second, I've
watched a little more than a second, but I haven't
watched the full game all year. I was even into
the Alabama Michigan rival or matchup.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I think that was what everyone gave Alabama grief for
the last play where the guy just ran into the line,
and rightfully. So here's what I still don't understand to
this day, and I can't get anyone to explain it
to me. They were up seventeen thirteen Alabama with maybe
four minutes left and kick the field goal instead of
(14:05):
going for a first down which made zero. If you're
up seventeen thirteen Michigan needs a touchdown, you go up
twenty to thirteen Michigan needs a touchdown. I did not understand.
I thought Saban had a terrible game. I mean, also,
who knew that Alabama wasn't going to be able to
snap the ball? So that field goal at the I
said it at the time, It wasn't a second guess
(14:26):
because I bet Alabama two was the dumbest thing I've
ever seen to go up. There's no difference twenty to
thirteen seventeen thirteen. All you do with twenty thirteen is
you force an overtime if you allow them to score,
which they did, but you get the first down there,
or even if you pun them and pin them. You're
better off doing that than kicking the field goal is
useless there.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You know what's funny, It shows you the way that
gambling skews the way you view the games. Because I
just wanted the points because I'm getting eight in my teas,
so kick the field goal and get me home. I
will say though, again, with watching minimal college football all
year long, like it was obvious to me early on
(15:08):
Michigan was a better team, like they they I know
that Alabama had the lead late and all that. Michigan
really shot themselves on the foot. They they they It
felt like Alabama couldn't move the ball and Michigan was
just dominating against them.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I felt like Michigan did look like the better team,
but I still feel like Alabama choked that game away.
But they choked it away at seventeen thirteen kicking the
field goal, and then after they kicked the field goal
to make it twenty thirteen. On Michigan's final drive where
they tied it up, they had a third and nine
in Alabama let them convert just.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Right down the field.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
That was ridiculous. Yeah, and then I don't even know
what the final play was. I mean, that was that
made no sense. But yeah, twenty seven point two million
people watched Alabama Michigan. That's a monster rating. And then
eighteen point four for Washington. So I had the over
in the Washington Texas game, but of course I had
more money on OUTMA, so I ended up going one
(16:01):
on one and losing money. But I couldn't stay up
for the end of that game ended at one o'clock
in the morning, I was yeah, I didn't make it,
and then it was funny. I don't remember, I can't.
I know I said this, but I don't remember if
I said it to you or if I said it
to one of my guests. But on the pod sometime
in the last few weeks, I ranted about how I
(16:22):
get so sick of the Rose Bowl where everyone talks
about the scenery of the Rose Bowl and how beautiful
the Rose Bowl is and all this, and I know
I said it. I don't remember exactly what I said
and to if it was to you or one of
the or one of the other guests. But I got
so many tweets that day from people saying, like, you know,
(16:42):
the Rose Bowl is so beautiful, or like, you know,
Herbstreet tweeted that he thinks the National Title Game should
be played at the Rose Bowl every year, people like,
you know, don't tell Jimmy trainor that or something. I'm like,
so I gotta I I appreciate the people who listen carefully.
And you know, I haven't been on Twitter much over
the break, but that day I saw those tweets, so
(17:05):
that's great. I have to give a shout out to
those people.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You did not say it to me, but I think
that that's great that people called you out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I just every year they play the rose Ball and
everyone on Twitter just masturbates the scenery of the rose
Ball and it's like, Okay, we got it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I gotta say, Okay, I gotta say one thing again.
I'm not trying to pick on anybody, but I did
watch like the first few minutes of the second game
the broadcast, like, uh, what's his name? Shulman or Sean?
Who's the dude that does the second game?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sean McDonough, Yeah, he's the best. He so like me,
he's the best college football play by play guy by far.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Exactly so like and again, I don't know why was
it he doing the rose Ball. Fowler just doesn't do
it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But you're not in charge of ESPN. The people in
charge of ESPN have Faler as their number one guy.
Foaler in Herbstreet is the number one team. McDonough is what.
McDonough is the best college football play by play person
on any network.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
He's fantastic. He's got a big deal. I know he's done.
He did Monday Night Football, right, did you do that
for a year or whatever. Yes, he's great, but without
even knowing like who was on the call, necessarily I
hear it, and I hear big game even though it's
Western teams. I don't care his voice. That's what you're
looking for, and foul just doesn't. He doesn't have it.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'd love to see McDonough get pared Herbstreet just to
hear what it brought, because I think I think McDonough
I think he's better than anyone. You know, I think
Brad Nessler is very good on CBS, but I think
McDonough's better. Yep, Gus is Gus on Fox. But you know,
if you listen to Gus, he makes a million mistakes
and it gets a little like Sean McDonough is the
best college football play by play person.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He's fantastic. I just want to get that out of
the way, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
What else do I have here on my list? Oh? So,
since we're talking about those games, the national title games,
so I'm watching the Alabama game. It was a great game.
But I had to put TV two on Monday Night
Raw because my niece tells me during the day that
(19:13):
she sees on social media the Rock is going to
be a surprise on Monday night RAW. So I'm like,
all right, let me, let me investigate this because you
can't believe anything on social media. And it turns out
they had college ESPNI College Game Day at the Rose
Bowl in California Monday night. ROW was in San Diego
that night. I said, okay, well, now we that is
(19:34):
one piece of it. And then someone had posted a
picture I don't I don't remember who. Someone posted a
picture of the Rock at college game day with Nick
Cohn in the background. Nick con Is basically he runs
WWE with Triple H and Vincent Man. It's like those
It's like the three headed Monster, and Nick conn Is
(19:55):
runs the company basically. So when I saw that, I said, oh,
he's coming out. So now eight o'clock comes and the
Rock doesn't start the show. I said, oh, maybe we
got this one wrong. And then I'm walked into the
Texas Washington game. I went away from RAW because I
went into my room and then all of a sudden,
(20:16):
I hear my niece scream at the top of the
lungs from another room in the house. The Rock. So
I put it on, and I just want to say
for people who have not paid attention to wrestling. I
know you're not paying attention to it day in, day out,
but they set up the Rock against Roman Rains at
WrestleMania this year in such a brilliant way, and not
(20:42):
even brilliant, but the way they did it. I want
to just shout this out to give the ww credit,
Roman Rains credit, Paul Hayman credit, and the Rock credit
because this is all they did. The Rock came out,
he did his whole stick with this other guy, Jendimer Hall,
and you know, the People's champion.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He did the elbow and Gingle is back.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So this is what the WWE did as a fake out.
Triple h went on Twitter. I guess that day or
the day before, Like I said, I don't I don't
have I'm on vacation, so I don't have all the
days wined up. But he went on Twitter before the
show and said something like there's rumors that a former
WWE champion will be on the show. So when Jinder
(21:28):
Mahall came out to start the ten o'clock hour, that's
who everyone thought it was. So then when the Rock
came out, everyone lost their shit and it was like pandemonium,
and you know, people couldn't control themselves. It's a great
video too. If you're a WWE fan, I'll tell you
who one of my favorite people in all of the
WW is. They have this ring announcer, Samantha Irvin or Irvine.
(21:50):
I'm sorry, I don't know the conservator. She's phenomenal though
she does the announcing, she's the best ones in twer
Finkle and does a video of her reaction when the
Rocks music hits that people have to see. It's a staric.
But so the Rock comes out and does the typical
rock stuff, which Genda Maholl throws him out of the
ring after the people's elbow and then he's standing there
in the ring and you think the segment's going to
wrap up, and all he says was all he said
(22:12):
was he said, oh, san diego, let me ask you
one question before I go. You know, the Rock's hungry.
The Rock has to go out and eat. The Rocks
got to get some food. And when he does that,
should the Rock sit in a booth or should the
Rock sit at a bar in the crowd When he
said bart and he goes, yeah, the Rock likes the
(22:34):
bar and then pauses for you know, maybe two seconds
get serious and he says, or should the Rock sit
at the head of the table. And in WWE, everyone
knows Roman Reigns is big thing is he's the head
of the table, meaning the head of the family, and
the Rock and Roman Rains are cousins, which is why
people have to But when he said, all he said
(22:55):
was should there All he said, should the Rock sit
at the head of the table, those six were the
place lost it like they went ballistic because everyone knew
he was setting up at WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns.
So it was so well done. If you watch the video,
it's really well done. So they all deserve credit because
(23:16):
the fact that he could just say sit at the
head of the table and everyone in their minds instantly
knew that that men of matrict Roman Reigns, that people
have been anticipating it's gonna be a big deal. Now.
The other layer in this is everyone feels like Cody
right like my niece is are devastated because they think
Cody Roads got screwed because they want Cody to have
his rematch against Wrestle against Roman at WrestleMania. I feel
like Cody's getting screwed. Too, But you know, I'm torn.
(23:37):
I love the Rock, I love Roman, I love Cody.
I don't know what to think. But the WW setting
up for Rock and Roman reigns.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
What's his name? Roman is the champion right now.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, he's been the champion for like three years. That's
like they've built up this streak. It's like more than
a thousand days, right, So there's.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No there's no way The Rock would be him then, right.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I would highly doubt it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Right, So then that takes a little bit away, and
then I'm just thinking of how Cody eventually, because they're
gonna they'll they'll get to the Cody payoff some point.
At some point, you would think.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
There's ways they can do it, like the Rock and
Rollman could have their match before WrestleMania, because the thing
with so the thing with WrestleMania is, you know this,
even if you don't want wrestling anymore, everyone knows the
winner of the Royal Rumble gets the WrestleMania match. So
let's say Cody Rhodes wins the Royal Rumble, then what
are they gonna do. They're gonna have the Rock wrestle
Roman before WrestleMania. Now, WrestleMania also now is two nights. Well,
(24:33):
they have the Rock wrestle Roman one night and then
Cody could wrestle Roman the next night. Do they save
Cody and Roman for SummerSlam. There's a lot of ways
to go about it, but they're gonna get a lot
of publicity over the next few months building up to WrestleMania.
All right, So I just had to say that. What
else is I might list it to? Oh, this doesn't
affect you because you work for wfa N, But I
(24:56):
just have to say this quickly, Sirius XM redid that
app and it's a complete and total abomination. And I'm
not saying this to embarrass anyone. Get this guy fired.
I just if anyone from Serious XM is listening, you
need to fix the app. What you've done is a disgrace.
(25:18):
I love you, I subscribe, you get my money, but
you need to fix the app. Let me tell you
what they did. So I listen to basically four things
on the app. Howard one hundred, Howard one on one,
even Shelby their app has been unusable. What did you
let me see? What Shelby wrote? Yeah, well it used
to be unusable now it's for over a decade. Well
now it's really bad. I've I never really had a
(25:39):
problem with the app until this redesign over the last
two weeks, so I subscribed to. So what I listened
to is Howard one hundred, Howard one on one, Mad
Dog and the Eighties Station and Classic Rewe. But it's
really those those four. So it used to be hey,
like excuse me. You could have favorites, like a page
with your favorites, so every single day I go on
the phone, I go to and I would put on
(26:01):
one of those things. They eliminated the favorites or maybe
or you got to click like five things to get
to it now. But the biggest thing they eliminated is
they used to have it either it was either ten
or fifteen second, rewind and fast forward. They got rid
of that because a lot of the no one listens
(26:21):
to anything live anymore, very rarely do you listen.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Live usually, So why would they get rid of.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Because whoever made the redesign and was not thinking of
the users. So like Howard starts at seven every morning,
well not every morning Monday through Wednesday. So let's say
I don't start listening until eight o'clock, So at eight o'clock,
I'll put it on from the beginning, so I'm like
an hour behind. So let's say he's interviewing someone who
I'm not into. I would forward through it and then
(26:50):
get to You can't do that anymore. They got you
can't forward. You can forward and rewind to the beginning
and end of segments, but you can't get to the
middle of a segment. It's atrocious. So they need to
fix all that, and they need to fit like so,
the way Howard used to work was on the app,
(27:11):
you would have a list, an entire list, of every
single segment, so you could click on the segment. So
let's say you know, there is a list of segments
and it's you know, Howard's making fun of Baba Buoi.
I would click it, and then let's say he said
something funny, but I missed it, and I want to
rewind it just to hear it ten seconds. You can't
do that. You have to go to the beginning of
(27:32):
a segment. It's you got to fix the app. Get
me my ten and fifteen second rewins back. Just put
on my mind for three weeks. The other topic we
have to discuss iions hearing did you see this story?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
No? I heard somebody mention them today and I was like,
Iron's heering, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You have to see this video? You got to pay
attention to this stuff more Iron. It was I think
two days ago, maybe three days ago, two maybe yesterday.
I don't know, one to within the last two or
three days. Okay, My times are all mixed up because
I'm not working. He's in his car and some biker
(28:13):
gang starts banging on his car and he's got his
young daughter in the car. He gets out of the car.
It takes on like five people and actually holds his
own in the fight. Yeah, and he's fifty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
What were they banging on his car for?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
They were just being troublemaker, rabble rouser, causing trouble, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
And why would he Why would he get out of
the car, especially with his doors.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Because they were banging on his They were banging on
the window of the car and his daughter was in there,
so I think he was like trying to like, you know, protect.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Her, right, I would think to move there to be
it would be to drive away somehow.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And who they surrounded him. They surrounded his car. People
on the streets.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
How's their video on this?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's it's not great. So it happened on New Year's Eve.
His car was blocked by another vehicle. Several members of
the six oh five Mini By gang approach him. Okay,
first of all, now I gotta call out the New
York Post. This is a disgrace. The New York Post
refers to him as the Sharknado Star. No, he's the
nine O two and oh star right. Oh wait, actually
(29:25):
they have nine O two to and oh reference in
the first packgrad Okay, that's better, Yeah, it says. Two
of the gang members. Yeah, I know, managed to position
themselves in front of the car as if to prevent
the actor from leaving. Zering fifty nine, and then takes
a swipe at the person surrounding him. During the fight,
Zering's car was significantly damaged. Someone shouted the windshield inside
of view mirror. But the guy was all by himself
(29:48):
and took on this group and did really there's twelve years.
The actor claimed that while he and his twelve yo daughter,
who was in the backseat at the time, were more
or less unharmed, the incident let me deeply concern about
the growing boldness of such groups who just disrupt public
safety and piece fifty nine years old, see Sam, I
give him credit me too. I would have ran like
(30:09):
a bitch.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I mean I would. I don't know what I would do.
I'd like to think I'd stay in my car and
try to run people over and get the hell out
of there, more so than get out.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I know, I don't know what you know. They're blocking
the car, so I don't know what you know, but
the car put.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
The put the pedal to the medal, and you're not
going to block anything. You got what you said.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
It's like it's not one or two people. It's like
a whole gag. There's like ten people surrounding him and
he took them all on fifty nine years old?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Right, But if you could drive through them or get
out and try to fight them, wouldn't drive through them
be the best option? Again, I don't know. I gotta
see the video, but.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
The bottom line is we need to protect all our
new nine oh two and oh stars. Yeah, geez I mean,
how dares someone start with iron Sire?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, Stevie, what was the name in the show.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Steve Sanders, Steve san yeah, come on, all right, we
just have to end with Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel.
Here's my thing about this, don't you. I love Jimmy
kimm because he well, he's getting hotter and harder to like.
(31:19):
I'll say that, I do feel like Jimmy made the
incident way bigger than it was with his tweet, Like,
if you're Kimmel, I guess the question is, if you're Kimmel,
should you have just ignored it? Or is the fact
that he's being accused of being a pedophile so bad
(31:40):
he's got to address it?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Well? But but the list, I guess is going to
come out right supposedly, all right, So if it comes
out and Kimmel's names not on it, isn't he then vindicated?
Like what? Like, well, you're right, I don't mind that
he defended himself here, But ultimately, if the list comes
out and he's not on it, then maybe I don't
(32:05):
think is there like a there must be a rumor
that Kimmel has been sensitive to And then Rogers takes
it over the top on McAfee and Kimmel's like, all right,
fuck this, I've had enough and I'll go at it,
because it couldn't have just been a first you know,
reference of Kimmel and this list by Aaron Rodgers that
set them off.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, I don't know about that because I don't I don't,
I don't know. I just know that. But if okay,
so if what you're saying is true, like okay, so
let's say this list comes out and Kimmel's not on it, Right,
Aaron Rodgers isn't going to go on McAfee and apologize
and say I'm sorry I accused you of being a pedophile.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, no, I know, but but he but he would
be vindicating and people just wouldn't take whatever if they
did what Rogers said or whatever that rumor may be.
Seriously right, Well, I think come out with a statement.
Come out with a statement. And again I don't know
this situation than the tweets back and forth or you know,
(33:02):
what Rogers said and then Kimmel's sweet back and forth.
But I'm just assuming that this is not the first
time this has come up with with Kimmel, because by
Kimmel's response, he even said something like whatever other liars
are saying, like it must his name must have come
up before.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
No, I not that I know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
You have his tweet, his exact tweet that he said.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Whose tweet Kimmel or Kimmel or chimimb.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Because because the way that I read it, And again,
I don't know, maybe it was the first time anybody
has insinuated that kim will But there's a.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Different I think there's a difference between maybe some whack
job on Twitter insinuating and Aaron Rodgers going on Pat
mcaffon going on ESPN. Right, But Kimmel's street was, Yeah,
Kimmel's street was, dear asshole. For the record, I've not met,
flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein,
nor will you find my name on any list other
(34:00):
then the clearly phony nonsense that soft brain wackos like
yourself can't seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words
put my family in danger. Keep it out on the line.
So this tells me that there's some fake list out
there that must have had Jimmy Kimmel on it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Correct, And then Rogers probably saw that list and believed
it or wanted to believe it and referenced it. And
that's why kimil responded, Not just because Rogers pulled this
out of thin air. There must be some bullshit list
going around or whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well, but don't you think that's a huge problem if
Aaron Rodgers ses some fake list and then he's quoting
it on ESPN. I mean, what is Aaron Rodgers doing?
Here's the thing. If you were a Jet fan, would
you want Rogers to do the weekly McAfee show.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I said this today, first of all, because it does
seem like it's just if I'm the Jets organization, I
just say, a like, enough with the interview.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He's running the organization, so they can't do that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Correct correct, And that's the problem. And that's why if
if I were the owner, I'd say, I've had enough
of you. We made a mistake. Move on. And now
I love Aaron Rodgers as a player, and I have
no issues with him off the field, being himself whatever,
But this is just like, it's enough to there's no
need to do this interview every week. There's no need
for it. He's even fucking playing.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, that's I do think. I mean, listen, you would
know this better than anyone because you're in it every
day on the fan. He's he's not He's gonna have
to play exceptionally next year for them to have smooth
sailing well ready to get him. The media is ready
(35:44):
to get him.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's gonna be the next part to the story. This
whole year, it was about all poor jets Rogers has heard.
Next year it's going to be about Rogers not being
nearly what they thought he was going to be and
the Jets still sucking surprise, but with Rogers, and then
he's gonna take the brunt of it and it's gonna
get even nastier and uglier. You could see it a
mile away with this.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I just like to me, I think what Rogers did
was one hundred percent calculated. He did it for the reaction,
and then he got the reaction. So it's like you're
giving him what he wants. Like, I don't know. I
I get listen, if Jimmy Kimmel says, listen, the guys
accuse me of being a pedalphile, I got to fight back.
I can't fault him for that and on any level,
(36:27):
but I do think Kimmel gave Anon Rodgers exactly what
he wants. I mean, he wants all the attention he
can possibly get.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, I guess otherwise he wouldn't go on the stupid show.
Not the stupid show.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
But every week show, every week, right, Like you said,
he hasn't played the whole season and he's still on
there every week, right. Plus you know I also think like, okay,
so all week he was able to sort of you know,
play his whole game about he was coming back, he
was coming back, he was coming back, and I'll you know,
I'll show them and I'll show the names this and
(37:01):
this and doubt me. Now that's over because the season's over,
So now he's onto. He was also saying like there
is a conspiracy theory that like the logo of the
the Super Bowl logo has the colors of the teams,
that like it's predetermined, Like it was just the whole
thing was like that got over shadowed obviously by the
(37:21):
Kimmel stuff and like people are gonna say, oh, he's kidding,
he's kidding, and like this is you know, like but
then he gets annoyed that he gets thet he gets
the attention. That's what's funny about it.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I just would like to get back on the field.
I mean, that's it next year obviously.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, the jet fans
who want to see him back on the field. I
would be careful. He's going to be a forty year
old player coming off in Achilles, Like you're not getting
Aaron Rodgers five years ago, right, But no one ever
talks about that because all we talk about is the
other nonsense that goes on.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Right well, well, that's kind of what I meant. I
don't think it's gonna work for them, but I mean,
at least I'd like to get back to talking about
football as opposed to the nonsense.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Right right, Well, he's all about the nonsense and he
loves it. This is like to me, I think he's
I think he was so happy when he saw that
Kimmel tweet, like he was fist pumping and doing cart
with its, no doubt, all right. I had to get
all the all of this off my chest after the
New Year. Any resolutions, sou uh.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
No, No, I haven't even given it any thought.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You want to give people a house update.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
There really isn't one. Honestly, I forget what the last
update was. But we're closing on selling our house this
week and then we're gonna rent it back for a
few months and hope to find something search is ongoing.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Have you when was the last time you physically went
looking for a house.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's been weeks.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Do you think that will start up now that the
holidays are over?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, I think potentially this weekend we might get something.
The agent was saying, Hey, there's some it is maybe
a house of your interest coming available. I'm gonna go
give it a preview. So potentially this week you.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Must when you hear that, you must roll your eyes
at this point.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, I'd like to have some lined up because now
we need to get the hell out, like I I hadn't.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I think, get the update because everyone Andy Gray every week,
what's going about South's house? Peter Streger when he was on,
he wants to know about Sal's house. Every wants to
know about South house.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, well, I appreciate, I appreciate their concern, but it
has been a just it's been a mess, dude. It's
been going on since end of August, really September writing.
I'm like, oh, we get till April, will be fine,
and here we are January. Like, if we don't find
something in closed within the next you know, month and
a half, we're screwed.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I mean, listen, as your friend, I hate that you're
going through this, and I won't want you to get
a house. It's a podcast, great content everywhere, right.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, eventually we'll have a conclusion, so stay tuned for
that at some point over the next two months.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Week eighteen. Will you be locked in Saturday and Sunday
for the NFL?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Great question. I'm actually excited about these games because of
the you know, I like to do or die situations.
I'm interested as a Falcons fan, even though I'm like
a fake Falcons fan at this point. But and the
real reason why is because I have future wagers on
them to win the division. So I'll be locked into
the Falcons Saints and seeing what happens with the Bucks
(40:27):
and Panthers, Jets Patriots is intriguing just because of Bellichick potential.
So yeah, I would say i'd be locked in Saturday.
I'm not social. Saturday Night is the Colton Texans, Yeah,
And what's the earlier game.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Saturday Ravens Steelers.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if i'd say locked in,
but I will be paying attention to them. I don't
know about locked in.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
The best game of the week is Sunday Night with
Dolphins Bills.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, that'll be one hundred percent locked into looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Right. Do you know that the Jet Patriots total is
thirty thirty?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
There's no there's no way a Robert Thala coach team
will ever beat a Belichick team? Is there? Who knows me?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I probably there's Now there's no way I'm watching one
second that game, So I will not bet at I'm
only gonna That's the beauty of the YouTube TV is.
I will just watch the games that have playoff him
I'm not gonna watch any game that doesn't like last week?
Who did the Jets play last week?
Speaker 2 (41:28):
The Brown Thursday Night? Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well? That was Thursday Night? Yeah, but there was a
game I like it. No, the Rams were still in there.
If they like, I won't watch one play that game.
I'm only going to watch the games that I have
playoff implications. So right, yeah, it'll be fun. Next week
we can talk about playoff matchups and I'm wager.
Speaker 2 (41:48):

(01:32):
is going to be an old Train of Thoughts edition.
So we have on my weekly contributor and my buddy
from WFA and Radio in New York, SNYTV in New York, Salakata,
sal How are you? How is the holiday?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Happy New Year? Oh, it's great to be back with you.
It just goes too fair. It was nice, but it
goes too fast. I feel like as you get older.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's why I took two weeks off because last week
was not like a vacation week. This is finally a
vacation week, but I'm doing a podcast, so it's not
even really a full vacation. But last week did not
feel like a vacation week at.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
All, brilliant and I didn't. I haven't had the opportunity
to take off the year or the week between Christmas
and New Year's in a long time, so I was
excited for it. But I remembered after doing it that
you're right, it's not a vacation week because before the
holiday you're doing shit. Then you have the holiday, Christmas, Dve,
Christmas Day, you're doing shit. Not until after it's over
(02:27):
do you actually have some time to yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Right, every day there's something going on that week. Yeah,
you know, leading into New Year's. So yeah, so not
a vacation week. And I saw sal last week. We
went to see The Iron Claw about the Van Eric family.
I think we both had the same takeaway, like we
thought it was good, we didn't think it was great.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I was just telling somebody about this the other day too.
That and I love you know you and I both familiar,
like I love the wrestling movies, the old stuff. I
can't get enough of that. I was expecting a lot more.
It was dark. It was good, it just was not great.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Well, I knew it was going to be dark and depressing.
I thought Zach Efron was phenomenal. Right, he was very good.
I would have liked more of maybe the wrestling stuff,
maybe a little more on I don't know. I wanted more,
I guess is what my disappointment was. But it was
(03:28):
still good. It just wasn't great.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I would have liked to Look, I'm only familiar with really,
I mean, I know some of the story, and I
saw the Dark Side of the Ring episode before whenever
they aired it. I didn't watch it before going into
the movie, but I've seen it before and I thought
it was interesting. Okay, fine, but I wanted more on
the Texas Tornado because that's who I grew up knowing
of the bunch, even in his limited run in WWF
at the time, so that like I'm trying to piece
(03:53):
things together and figure out again, it was good. I
thought the acting was terrific. I just it was a
good movie, wasn't I didn't love it and I was
really looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, I think I agree. I thought it was good.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
What was what was darker? The movie or the fact
that we had to pay twenty bucks for a small
popcorn in a soda.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
God small popcorn was nine fifty you somehow, I snuck
in a bottle of water. You go and buy the
popcorn and the water, and they banged it for eighteen bucks.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I couldn't. Now, I usually don't complain about that whatever
it is in is amount of the movies. But I
was like, I got two things, one of which is
a small popcorn, and I beat twenty bulls eighteen bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Come on, small popcorn and a bottle of water, and
sal had to shell out eighteen bucks. I got a
small popcorn and only eight about a third of it.
It was a complete waste of my money. But I
snuck in the water.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I should have got a lord ipcorn.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I won't get into how you were the one who
got the tickets and then didn't get us the reclining seats.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
They don't have reclining seats. The theater doesn't have it.
Who thinks that a theater doesn't have reclining theater? It
should be standard? Yeah, I mean maybe never again that the.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Here's the thing about the reclining seats is I like,
I can't see a movie now if it's not in
the reclining seats.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They weren't bad, though, Like I didn't feel uncomfortable like
when we went to see Air in the City in
the which was one of my favorite theaters in the
city on the Upper West Side. That was an uncomfortable
seats like those are old school. This, at least, I felt,
was better than that, but not reclining.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I need the leather recliners.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Speaking of uncomfortable, one last thing on this, Yeah, there
was a row of people right in front of us
talking throughout the fucking movie and it was driving me nuts.
And it was one of these guys like, oh see
that Rick Flair. Oh, by the way, the Ric Flair
actor was horrible. We didn't even talk about that afterward.
I forgot to mention I didn't like him at all.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I didn't think he was horrible. I just didn't think
he had the voice was not good.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It just it just was. There was nothing about him
that said Rick click anyway, like anytime, oh you know
this is one this guy wan like they would, and
they were loud and talking across a row. Now we
you and I Jimmy did not say anything. However, somebody
midway through the movie behind us goes, will you guys
shut the fuck up? And I was like, oh boy,
(06:21):
I started to get a little antsy.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
See. I was confused by the whole because the guys
in the row in front of us, who I didn't
think they were talking that much. But whenever they did talk,
they were very loud and everyone could hear what they
which was just like there was no like you're in
the movies, try to whisper thing going on. They would
just shut out whatever they wanted to say. But it
(06:47):
was the guys in the row behind us who told
them to shut the fuck up. And I didn't think
they were going to talk to the people too, Like
I thought there was someone next to them, and then
you were putting out it was those guys. Yeah, I mean, and.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You know what I was thinking the whole time, I'm like, man,
I really hope the guy behind us doesn't think it's
me that's doing the talking. I don't want any problems.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, it was a whole row of them. I think
he would have realized it was he knew who it was.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
God I wanted to do. I should have stood up
on a plot of them, because what he said was
exactly what I was thinking. I just didn't. I wouldn't
say it. I just suck it up and move on.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I guess you know, well, yeah, listen, people during a
movie might whisper something to whoever they're sitting next to
once in a while they might get it. There was
no whispering, there was no lowering of the voice. They
were talking at this level in the movie theater. It
was like there was a row of four of them.
So I guess they wanted everyone in the road to hear.
(07:42):
So they would just shout out like. It wasn't like,
oh God, oh that's Rick Clair, was like there's Ric Flair.
It was like, yeah, you hear in the movies about
any self awareness.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, that's the problem. They did not. It was like
they were in their own living room, which I just
it offends me to the highest of levels.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, people are animals, that's the bottom anyway. All right,
I have a list of topics to discuss here. Okay,
some of you will be into, some of you probably
won't be, but I think you'll be into the I
gotta so, I was supposed to. I had to do
a podcast just because I feel like there's a lot
going on, so I wanted to just catch up on
some topics. It's a little late on it, but I
want to discuss the end of the Lions Cowboys game. Okay,
(08:25):
because everyone flipped out about the referee screwing up. What
else is new?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Right?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
And then I feel like there's been like this sort
of like now everyone's trying to have a correction on it,
and there are people are blaming the Lions for getting
too cute and sending three offensive linemen onto the field
and they were trying to confuse people. Blah blah blah.
That all may be true, but so now a team
(08:54):
can't try to confuse an opponent or run some trickery
because we have to be afraid that the ref is
an idiot. Like I have no doubt in my mind
that Taylor Ladecer reported as eligible. They're not gonna run
(09:16):
that play. He's not gonna be the guy who's gonna
get the ball thrown to him. He's not gonna be
the guy who catches the touchdown. And he didn't report eligible.
He absolutely reported eligible. The ref got confused and screwed
everything up, And now people are saying, well, they send
three offensive linemen towards the ref, they try, they confuse
(09:37):
the ref. It's their fault. The ref is supposed to
do his job and get it right number one and
number two. If you watch the video, the ref doesn't
even pay attention to them when they're taught, Like he's
walking away from them as they approach him. He didn't
like try to get it right. He didn't try to focus,
he didn't try to he was like walking away. So
(10:00):
the reverse now of people trying to blame the Lions
is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, I mean, I don't see how you can blame
the Lions. That to me is just idiotic. They It
just shows you though with replay, with all the stuff
that's challengeable, reviewable, they're never going to get it right,
which is why I hate the whole thing to begin with.
There's always going to be bitching and complaining, but you
certainly can't get on the Lions for coming up with
(10:24):
a play to win the game a creative spot. You're
not gonna run that all the time. They unveiled it
in the right spot, they executed the right way, and
they get screwed by the officials. I mean, end of story.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And then you know, and the people who go on
the drum beat for like make the officials full time officials.
If Brad Allen was like you think if Brad Allen
in May was doing some like NFL officiating where he
would have got that right. No, he still would have
screwed it up, right. But people blaming the Lions because
(10:56):
of you know, they're trying to like trick and play
games like that's what there's a to do, and the
ref is supposed to get it right.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Oh, in the NFL works right, and then the NFL
and they're complete in total arrogance and their refusal to
admit that their refs are terrible. Puts Brad Allen this
Saturday on the Steelers Ravens game, which you know the
Steelers need if they want to make the playoffs, which
is a national game on ESPN, standalone game, Like the
(11:25):
NFL is now going to say fuck you to everyone.
We're gonna stand by this guy who got it wrong
and messed up.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Wasn't there wasn't there a story that said they were
going to be demoted to not make the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
No, they're doing it. They're doing Ravens Steelers Saturday on
ESPN at four thirty, right.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But that's obviously it's not a playoff game. But I
thought I read somewhere and it could just be bullshit
because I saw it on Twitter, but I thought I
read that they were going to be demoted, not to
a playoff game.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So I didn't see that. The NFL come out and
defend that. At the end of the NFL released the
video to say this is how you're supposed to report
is eligible. They're defending the guy the Yeah, okay, ridiculous.
Did you I know you're not a huge college football guy,
but did you watch any of the game the playoff games?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I did, I because I bet Alabama in a teaser
with the Knicks, so I was in.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
That actual So you had plus eight, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I got a plus eight. I ended up winning that.
I also had them in a parlage would be told
plus two, but obviously I lost that one. I just
I didn't watch college football all year long. I just
go by SEC's always better than every other conference, so
why not roll with Bama? So I did watch that game.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, Well, a couple of things. The Alabama Michigan game
drew twenty seven point two million viewers, which is a
min and Washington, Texas following it eighteen point four million,
So it goes to show you the appeal of the
big time program. Alabama and Michigan doesn't get any than
(13:00):
that in college football, So the the sort of you know,
brand name teams are always going to be better time slot.
The other game started at nine o'clock and did at
one o'clock in the morning. College, Well, yeah, they have
to do they have to fix something. They have to
do something about that. You can't kick it off at
nine o'clock. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
You're right though, because if it were like I wasn't
intrigued really by Texas and Washington. I didn't bet it,
luckily because they probably would have taken Texas in that.
But as somebody who has not watched a second, I've
watched a little more than a second, but I haven't
watched the full game all year. I was even into
the Alabama Michigan rival or matchup.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I think that was what everyone gave Alabama grief for
the last play where the guy just ran into the line,
and rightfully. So here's what I still don't understand to
this day, and I can't get anyone to explain it
to me. They were up seventeen thirteen Alabama with maybe
four minutes left and kick the field goal instead of
(14:05):
going for a first down which made zero. If you're
up seventeen thirteen Michigan needs a touchdown, you go up
twenty to thirteen Michigan needs a touchdown. I did not understand.
I thought Saban had a terrible game. I mean, also,
who knew that Alabama wasn't going to be able to
snap the ball? So that field goal at the I
said it at the time, It wasn't a second guess
(14:26):
because I bet Alabama two was the dumbest thing I've
ever seen to go up. There's no difference twenty to
thirteen seventeen thirteen. All you do with twenty thirteen is
you force an overtime if you allow them to score,
which they did, but you get the first down there,
or even if you pun them and pin them. You're
better off doing that than kicking the field goal is
useless there.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You know what's funny, It shows you the way that
gambling skews the way you view the games. Because I
just wanted the points because I'm getting eight in my teas,
so kick the field goal and get me home. I
will say though, again, with watching minimal college football all
year long, like it was obvious to me early on
(15:08):
Michigan was a better team, like they they I know
that Alabama had the lead late and all that. Michigan
really shot themselves on the foot. They they they It
felt like Alabama couldn't move the ball and Michigan was
just dominating against them.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I felt like Michigan did look like the better team,
but I still feel like Alabama choked that game away.
But they choked it away at seventeen thirteen kicking the
field goal, and then after they kicked the field goal
to make it twenty thirteen. On Michigan's final drive where
they tied it up, they had a third and nine
in Alabama let them convert just.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Right down the field.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
That was ridiculous. Yeah, and then I don't even know
what the final play was. I mean, that was that
made no sense. But yeah, twenty seven point two million
people watched Alabama Michigan. That's a monster rating. And then
eighteen point four for Washington. So I had the over
in the Washington Texas game, but of course I had
more money on OUTMA, so I ended up going one
(16:01):
on one and losing money. But I couldn't stay up
for the end of that game ended at one o'clock
in the morning, I was yeah, I didn't make it,
and then it was funny. I don't remember, I can't.
I know I said this, but I don't remember if
I said it to you or if I said it
to one of my guests. But on the pod sometime
in the last few weeks, I ranted about how I
(16:22):
get so sick of the Rose Bowl where everyone talks
about the scenery of the Rose Bowl and how beautiful
the Rose Bowl is and all this, and I know
I said it. I don't remember exactly what I said
and to if it was to you or one of
the or one of the other guests. But I got
so many tweets that day from people saying, like, you know,
(16:42):
the Rose Bowl is so beautiful, or like, you know,
Herbstreet tweeted that he thinks the National Title Game should
be played at the Rose Bowl every year, people like,
you know, don't tell Jimmy trainor that or something. I'm like,
so I gotta I I appreciate the people who listen carefully.
And you know, I haven't been on Twitter much over
the break, but that day I saw those tweets, so
(17:05):
that's great. I have to give a shout out to
those people.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
You did not say it to me, but I think
that that's great that people called you out. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I just every year they play the rose Ball and
everyone on Twitter just masturbates the scenery of the rose
Ball and it's like, Okay, we got it.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I gotta say, Okay, I gotta say one thing again.
I'm not trying to pick on anybody, but I did
watch like the first few minutes of the second game
the broadcast, like, uh, what's his name? Shulman or Sean?
Who's the dude that does the second game?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Sean McDonough, Yeah, he's the best. He so like me,
he's the best college football play by play guy by far.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Exactly so like and again, I don't know why was
it he doing the rose Ball. Fowler just doesn't do
it for me.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
But you're not in charge of ESPN. The people in
charge of ESPN have Faler as their number one guy.
Foaler in Herbstreet is the number one team. McDonough is what.
McDonough is the best college football play by play person
on any network.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
He's fantastic. He's got a big deal. I know he's done.
He did Monday Night Football, right, did you do that
for a year or whatever. Yes, he's great, but without
even knowing like who was on the call, necessarily I
hear it, and I hear big game even though it's
Western teams. I don't care his voice. That's what you're
looking for, and foul just doesn't. He doesn't have it.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'd love to see McDonough get pared Herbstreet just to
hear what it brought, because I think I think McDonough
I think he's better than anyone. You know, I think
Brad Nessler is very good on CBS, but I think
McDonough's better. Yep, Gus is Gus on Fox. But you know,
if you listen to Gus, he makes a million mistakes
and it gets a little like Sean McDonough is the
best college football play by play person.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He's fantastic. I just want to get that out of
the way, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
What else do I have here on my list? Oh? So,
since we're talking about those games, the national title games,
so I'm watching the Alabama game. It was a great game.
But I had to put TV two on Monday Night
Raw because my niece tells me during the day that
(19:13):
she sees on social media the Rock is going to
be a surprise on Monday night RAW. So I'm like,
all right, let me, let me investigate this because you
can't believe anything on social media. And it turns out
they had college ESPNI College Game Day at the Rose
Bowl in California Monday night. ROW was in San Diego
that night. I said, okay, well, now we that is
(19:34):
one piece of it. And then someone had posted a
picture I don't I don't remember who. Someone posted a
picture of the Rock at college game day with Nick
Cohn in the background. Nick con Is basically he runs
WWE with Triple H and Vincent Man. It's like those
It's like the three headed Monster, and Nick conn Is
(19:55):
runs the company basically. So when I saw that, I said, oh,
he's coming out. So now eight o'clock comes and the
Rock doesn't start the show. I said, oh, maybe we
got this one wrong. And then I'm walked into the
Texas Washington game. I went away from RAW because I
went into my room and then all of a sudden,
(20:16):
I hear my niece scream at the top of the
lungs from another room in the house. The Rock. So
I put it on, and I just want to say
for people who have not paid attention to wrestling. I
know you're not paying attention to it day in, day out,
but they set up the Rock against Roman Rains at
WrestleMania this year in such a brilliant way, and not
(20:42):
even brilliant, but the way they did it. I want
to just shout this out to give the ww credit,
Roman Rains credit, Paul Hayman credit, and the Rock credit
because this is all they did. The Rock came out,
he did his whole stick with this other guy, Jendimer Hall,
and you know, the People's champion.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
He did the elbow and Gingle is back.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So this is what the WWE did as a fake out.
Triple h went on Twitter. I guess that day or
the day before, Like I said, I don't I don't
have I'm on vacation, so I don't have all the
days wined up. But he went on Twitter before the
show and said something like there's rumors that a former
WWE champion will be on the show. So when Jinder
(21:28):
Mahall came out to start the ten o'clock hour, that's
who everyone thought it was. So then when the Rock
came out, everyone lost their shit and it was like pandemonium,
and you know, people couldn't control themselves. It's a great
video too. If you're a WWE fan, I'll tell you
who one of my favorite people in all of the
WW is. They have this ring announcer, Samantha Irvin or Irvine.
(21:50):
I'm sorry, I don't know the conservator. She's phenomenal though
she does the announcing, she's the best ones in twer
Finkle and does a video of her reaction when the
Rocks music hits that people have to see. It's a staric.
But so the Rock comes out and does the typical
rock stuff, which Genda Maholl throws him out of the
ring after the people's elbow and then he's standing there
in the ring and you think the segment's going to
wrap up, and all he says was all he said
(22:12):
was he said, oh, san diego, let me ask you
one question before I go. You know, the Rock's hungry.
The Rock has to go out and eat. The Rocks
got to get some food. And when he does that,
should the Rock sit in a booth or should the
Rock sit at a bar in the crowd When he
said bart and he goes, yeah, the Rock likes the
(22:34):
bar and then pauses for you know, maybe two seconds
get serious and he says, or should the Rock sit
at the head of the table. And in WWE, everyone
knows Roman Reigns is big thing is he's the head
of the table, meaning the head of the family, and
the Rock and Roman Rains are cousins, which is why
people have to But when he said, all he said
(22:55):
was should there All he said, should the Rock sit
at the head of the table, those six were the
place lost it like they went ballistic because everyone knew
he was setting up at WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns.
So it was so well done. If you watch the video,
it's really well done. So they all deserve credit because
(23:16):
the fact that he could just say sit at the
head of the table and everyone in their minds instantly
knew that that men of matrict Roman Reigns, that people
have been anticipating it's gonna be a big deal. Now.
The other layer in this is everyone feels like Cody
right like my niece is are devastated because they think
Cody Roads got screwed because they want Cody to have
his rematch against Wrestle against Roman at WrestleMania. I feel
like Cody's getting screwed. Too, But you know, I'm torn.
(23:37):
I love the Rock, I love Roman, I love Cody.
I don't know what to think. But the WW setting
up for Rock and Roman reigns.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
What's his name? Roman is the champion right now.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, he's been the champion for like three years. That's
like they've built up this streak. It's like more than
a thousand days, right, So there's.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
No there's no way The Rock would be him then, right.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I would highly doubt it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Right, So then that takes a little bit away, and
then I'm just thinking of how Cody eventually, because they're
gonna they'll they'll get to the Cody payoff some point.
At some point, you would think.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
There's ways they can do it, like the Rock and
Rollman could have their match before WrestleMania, because the thing
with so the thing with WrestleMania is, you know this,
even if you don't want wrestling anymore, everyone knows the
winner of the Royal Rumble gets the WrestleMania match. So
let's say Cody Rhodes wins the Royal Rumble, then what
are they gonna do. They're gonna have the Rock wrestle
Roman before WrestleMania. Now, WrestleMania also now is two nights. Well,
(24:33):
they have the Rock wrestle Roman one night and then
Cody could wrestle Roman the next night. Do they save
Cody and Roman for SummerSlam. There's a lot of ways
to go about it, but they're gonna get a lot
of publicity over the next few months building up to WrestleMania.
All right, So I just had to say that. What
else is I might list it to? Oh, this doesn't
affect you because you work for wfa N, But I
(24:56):
just have to say this quickly, Sirius XM redid that
app and it's a complete and total abomination. And I'm
not saying this to embarrass anyone. Get this guy fired.
I just if anyone from Serious XM is listening, you
need to fix the app. What you've done is a disgrace.
(25:18):
I love you, I subscribe, you get my money, but
you need to fix the app. Let me tell you
what they did. So I listen to basically four things
on the app. Howard one hundred, Howard one on one,
even Shelby their app has been unusable. What did you
let me see? What Shelby wrote? Yeah, well it used
to be unusable now it's for over a decade. Well
now it's really bad. I've I never really had a
(25:39):
problem with the app until this redesign over the last
two weeks, so I subscribed to. So what I listened
to is Howard one hundred, Howard one on one, Mad
Dog and the Eighties Station and Classic Rewe. But it's
really those those four. So it used to be hey,
like excuse me. You could have favorites, like a page
with your favorites, so every single day I go on
the phone, I go to and I would put on
(26:01):
one of those things. They eliminated the favorites or maybe
or you got to click like five things to get
to it now. But the biggest thing they eliminated is
they used to have it either it was either ten
or fifteen second, rewind and fast forward. They got rid
of that because a lot of the no one listens
(26:21):
to anything live anymore, very rarely do you listen.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Live usually, So why would they get rid of.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Because whoever made the redesign and was not thinking of
the users. So like Howard starts at seven every morning,
well not every morning Monday through Wednesday. So let's say
I don't start listening until eight o'clock, So at eight o'clock,
I'll put it on from the beginning, so I'm like
an hour behind. So let's say he's interviewing someone who
I'm not into. I would forward through it and then
(26:50):
get to You can't do that anymore. They got you
can't forward. You can forward and rewind to the beginning
and end of segments, but you can't get to the
middle of a segment. It's atrocious. So they need to
fix all that, and they need to fit like so,
the way Howard used to work was on the app,
(27:11):
you would have a list, an entire list, of every
single segment, so you could click on the segment. So
let's say you know, there is a list of segments
and it's you know, Howard's making fun of Baba Buoi.
I would click it, and then let's say he said
something funny, but I missed it, and I want to
rewind it just to hear it ten seconds. You can't
do that. You have to go to the beginning of
(27:32):
a segment. It's you got to fix the app. Get
me my ten and fifteen second rewins back. Just put
on my mind for three weeks. The other topic we
have to discuss iions hearing did you see this story?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
No? I heard somebody mention them today and I was like,
Iron's heering, what do you do?
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You have to see this video? You got to pay
attention to this stuff more Iron. It was I think
two days ago, maybe three days ago, two maybe yesterday.
I don't know, one to within the last two or
three days. Okay, My times are all mixed up because
I'm not working. He's in his car and some biker
(28:13):
gang starts banging on his car and he's got his
young daughter in the car. He gets out of the car.
It takes on like five people and actually holds his
own in the fight. Yeah, and he's fifty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
What were they banging on his car for?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
They were just being troublemaker, rabble rouser, causing trouble, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
And why would he Why would he get out of
the car, especially with his doors.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Because they were banging on his They were banging on
the window of the car and his daughter was in there,
so I think he was like trying to like, you know, protect.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Her, right, I would think to move there to be
it would be to drive away somehow.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
And who they surrounded him. They surrounded his car. People
on the streets.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
How's their video on this?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's it's not great. So it happened on New Year's Eve.
His car was blocked by another vehicle. Several members of
the six oh five Mini By gang approach him. Okay,
first of all, now I gotta call out the New
York Post. This is a disgrace. The New York Post
refers to him as the Sharknado Star. No, he's the
nine O two and oh star right. Oh wait, actually
(29:25):
they have nine O two to and oh reference in
the first packgrad Okay, that's better, Yeah, it says. Two
of the gang members. Yeah, I know, managed to position
themselves in front of the car as if to prevent
the actor from leaving. Zering fifty nine, and then takes
a swipe at the person surrounding him. During the fight,
Zering's car was significantly damaged. Someone shouted the windshield inside
of view mirror. But the guy was all by himself
(29:48):
and took on this group and did really there's twelve years.
The actor claimed that while he and his twelve yo daughter,
who was in the backseat at the time, were more
or less unharmed, the incident let me deeply concern about
the growing boldness of such groups who just disrupt public
safety and piece fifty nine years old, see Sam, I
give him credit me too. I would have ran like
(30:09):
a bitch.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I mean I would. I don't know what I would do.
I'd like to think I'd stay in my car and
try to run people over and get the hell out
of there, more so than get out.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I know, I don't know what you know. They're blocking
the car, so I don't know what you know, but
the car put.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
The put the pedal to the medal, and you're not
going to block anything. You got what you said.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
It's like it's not one or two people. It's like
a whole gag. There's like ten people surrounding him and
he took them all on fifty nine years old?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Right, But if you could drive through them or get
out and try to fight them, wouldn't drive through them
be the best option? Again, I don't know. I gotta
see the video, but.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
The bottom line is we need to protect all our
new nine oh two and oh stars. Yeah, geez I mean,
how dares someone start with iron Sire?
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah, Stevie, what was the name in the show.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Steve Sanders, Steve san yeah, come on, all right, we
just have to end with Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel.
Here's my thing about this, don't you. I love Jimmy
kimm because he well, he's getting hotter and harder to like.
(31:19):
I'll say that, I do feel like Jimmy made the
incident way bigger than it was with his tweet, Like,
if you're Kimmel, I guess the question is, if you're Kimmel,
should you have just ignored it? Or is the fact
that he's being accused of being a pedophile so bad
(31:40):
he's got to address it?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Well? But but the list, I guess is going to
come out right supposedly, all right, So if it comes
out and Kimmel's names not on it, isn't he then vindicated?
Like what? Like, well, you're right, I don't mind that
he defended himself here, But ultimately, if the list comes
out and he's not on it, then maybe I don't
(32:05):
think is there like a there must be a rumor
that Kimmel has been sensitive to And then Rogers takes
it over the top on McAfee and Kimmel's like, all right,
fuck this, I've had enough and I'll go at it,
because it couldn't have just been a first you know,
reference of Kimmel and this list by Aaron Rodgers that
set them off.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Well, I don't know about that because I don't I don't,
I don't know. I just know that. But if okay,
so if what you're saying is true, like okay, so
let's say this list comes out and Kimmel's not on it, Right,
Aaron Rodgers isn't going to go on McAfee and apologize
and say I'm sorry I accused you of being a pedophile.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Yeah, no, I know, but but he but he would
be vindicating and people just wouldn't take whatever if they
did what Rogers said or whatever that rumor may be.
Seriously right, Well, I think come out with a statement.
Come out with a statement. And again I don't know
this situation than the tweets back and forth or you know,
(33:02):
what Rogers said and then Kimmel's sweet back and forth.
But I'm just assuming that this is not the first
time this has come up with with Kimmel, because by
Kimmel's response, he even said something like whatever other liars
are saying, like it must his name must have come
up before.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
No, I not that I know.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
You have his tweet, his exact tweet that he said.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Whose tweet Kimmel or Kimmel or chimimb.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Because because the way that I read it, And again,
I don't know, maybe it was the first time anybody
has insinuated that kim will But there's a.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Different I think there's a difference between maybe some whack
job on Twitter insinuating and Aaron Rodgers going on Pat
mcaffon going on ESPN. Right, But Kimmel's street was, Yeah,
Kimmel's street was, dear asshole. For the record, I've not met,
flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein,
nor will you find my name on any list other
(34:00):
then the clearly phony nonsense that soft brain wackos like
yourself can't seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words
put my family in danger. Keep it out on the line.
So this tells me that there's some fake list out
there that must have had Jimmy Kimmel on it.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Correct, And then Rogers probably saw that list and believed
it or wanted to believe it and referenced it. And
that's why kimil responded, Not just because Rogers pulled this
out of thin air. There must be some bullshit list
going around or whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Well, but don't you think that's a huge problem if
Aaron Rodgers ses some fake list and then he's quoting
it on ESPN. I mean, what is Aaron Rodgers doing?
Here's the thing. If you were a Jet fan, would
you want Rogers to do the weekly McAfee show.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I said this today, first of all, because it does
seem like it's just if I'm the Jets organization, I
just say, a like, enough with the interview.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
He's running the organization, so they can't do that.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Correct correct, And that's the problem. And that's why if
if I were the owner, I'd say, I've had enough
of you. We made a mistake. Move on. And now
I love Aaron Rodgers as a player, and I have
no issues with him off the field, being himself whatever,
But this is just like, it's enough to there's no
need to do this interview every week. There's no need
for it. He's even fucking playing.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Well, that's I do think. I mean, listen, you would
know this better than anyone because you're in it every
day on the fan. He's he's not He's gonna have
to play exceptionally next year for them to have smooth
sailing well ready to get him. The media is ready
(35:44):
to get him.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
That's gonna be the next part to the story. This
whole year, it was about all poor jets Rogers has heard.
Next year it's going to be about Rogers not being
nearly what they thought he was going to be and
the Jets still sucking surprise, but with Rogers, and then
he's gonna take the brunt of it and it's gonna
get even nastier and uglier. You could see it a
mile away with this.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I just like to me, I think what Rogers did
was one hundred percent calculated. He did it for the reaction,
and then he got the reaction. So it's like you're
giving him what he wants. Like, I don't know. I
I get listen, if Jimmy Kimmel says, listen, the guys
accuse me of being a pedalphile, I got to fight back.
I can't fault him for that and on any level,
(36:27):
but I do think Kimmel gave Anon Rodgers exactly what
he wants. I mean, he wants all the attention he
can possibly get.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, I guess otherwise he wouldn't go on the stupid show.
Not the stupid show.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
But every week show, every week, right, Like you said,
he hasn't played the whole season and he's still on
there every week, right. Plus you know I also think like, okay,
so all week he was able to sort of you know,
play his whole game about he was coming back, he
was coming back, he was coming back, and I'll you know,
I'll show them and I'll show the names this and
(37:01):
this and doubt me. Now that's over because the season's over,
So now he's onto. He was also saying like there
is a conspiracy theory that like the logo of the
the Super Bowl logo has the colors of the teams,
that like it's predetermined, Like it was just the whole
thing was like that got over shadowed obviously by the
(37:21):
Kimmel stuff and like people are gonna say, oh, he's kidding,
he's kidding, and like this is you know, like but
then he gets annoyed that he gets thet he gets
the attention. That's what's funny about it.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I just would like to get back on the field.
I mean, that's it next year obviously.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, the jet fans
who want to see him back on the field. I
would be careful. He's going to be a forty year
old player coming off in Achilles, Like you're not getting
Aaron Rodgers five years ago, right, But no one ever
talks about that because all we talk about is the
other nonsense that goes on.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Right well, well, that's kind of what I meant. I
don't think it's gonna work for them, but I mean,
at least I'd like to get back to talking about
football as opposed to the nonsense.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Right right, Well, he's all about the nonsense and he
loves it. This is like to me, I think he's
I think he was so happy when he saw that
Kimmel tweet, like he was fist pumping and doing cart
with its, no doubt, all right. I had to get
all the all of this off my chest after the
New Year. Any resolutions, sou uh.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
No, No, I haven't even given it any thought.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
You want to give people a house update.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
There really isn't one. Honestly, I forget what the last
update was. But we're closing on selling our house this
week and then we're gonna rent it back for a
few months and hope to find something search is ongoing.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Have you when was the last time you physically went
looking for a house.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's been weeks.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Do you think that will start up now that the
holidays are over?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, I think potentially this weekend we might get something.
The agent was saying, Hey, there's some it is maybe
a house of your interest coming available. I'm gonna go
give it a preview. So potentially this week you.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Must when you hear that, you must roll your eyes
at this point.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, I'd like to have some lined up because now
we need to get the hell out, like I I hadn't.
Speaker 1 (39:17):
I think, get the update because everyone Andy Gray every week,
what's going about South's house? Peter Streger when he was on,
he wants to know about Sal's house. Every wants to
know about South house.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, well, I appreciate, I appreciate their concern, but it
has been a just it's been a mess, dude. It's
been going on since end of August, really September writing.
I'm like, oh, we get till April, will be fine,
and here we are January. Like, if we don't find
something in closed within the next you know, month and
a half, we're screwed.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I mean, listen, as your friend, I hate that you're
going through this, and I won't want you to get
a house. It's a podcast, great content everywhere, right.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, eventually we'll have a conclusion, so stay tuned for
that at some point over the next two months.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Week eighteen. Will you be locked in Saturday and Sunday
for the NFL?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Great question. I'm actually excited about these games because of
the you know, I like to do or die situations.
I'm interested as a Falcons fan, even though I'm like
a fake Falcons fan at this point. But and the
real reason why is because I have future wagers on
them to win the division. So I'll be locked into
the Falcons Saints and seeing what happens with the Bucks
(40:27):
and Panthers, Jets Patriots is intriguing just because of Bellichick potential.
So yeah, I would say i'd be locked in Saturday.
I'm not social. Saturday Night is the Colton Texans, Yeah,
And what's the earlier game.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Saturday Ravens Steelers.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Yeah. I mean, I don't know if i'd say locked in,
but I will be paying attention to them. I don't
know about locked in.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
The best game of the week is Sunday Night with
Dolphins Bills.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Yeah, that'll be one hundred percent locked into looking forward
to that.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Right. Do you know that the Jet Patriots total is
thirty thirty?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
There's no there's no way a Robert Thala coach team
will ever beat a Belichick team? Is there? Who knows me?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I probably there's Now there's no way I'm watching one
second that game, So I will not bet at I'm
only gonna That's the beauty of the YouTube TV is.
I will just watch the games that have playoff him
I'm not gonna watch any game that doesn't like last week?
Who did the Jets play last week?
Speaker 2 (41:28):
The Brown Thursday Night? Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well? That was Thursday Night? Yeah, but there was a
game I like it. No, the Rams were still in there.
If they like, I won't watch one play that game.
I'm only going to watch the games that I have
playoff implications. So right, yeah, it'll be fun. Next week
we can talk about playoff matchups and I'm wager.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
All right, take it easy, enjoy your vacation.
