the way tire buying should be. So the interesting quarterback
situation in the NFL that continues to get worse and
worse seemingly. We talked about the Derek Carr John Gruden

(01:22):
working together in New Orleans. Well, Derek Carr's former team,
the Las Vegas Raiders. Apparently this injury to Jimmy Garoppolo
looks to be worse than what a lot of people
initially thought. So did Aunt Liz and Uncle Frank visit
Jimmy Garoppolo? Is that what happened here? He got a
little Liz Frank and now there's some question about whether

(01:43):
or not he's going to be ready for week one
after this surgery. We do have a Liz Frank insider,
somebody with intimate knowledge of the injury of Brady Quinn.
How the hell is this prognosis going for Jimmy Garoppolo
to be ready first week of the season.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, I think now that we know the type of
injury that it is, you've got a little better idea
into a number of things. Because there was a question
as to like why didn't he get the surgery sooner.
And you know, you know, granted this is back in
two thousand and nine when when I first suffered my
List Frank injury, but you know, there was the thought

(02:18):
that you could try to let it heal naturally. And
when we're talking about a Liz Frank, we're talking about
the midpoint of your foot, all right. You have these
little bones called metatarsals, and there's all these little joints
and bones in that portion of your foot. And what
happens is there's a ligament that runs across your midfoot.
It connects all your metatarsals or what you probably look

(02:40):
at as your toes the toebones.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Connects them all together.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
And what happens is when you hurt and have a
Liz Frank injury or basically hurt your midfoot, a lot
of times you end up fracturing some of those meta
tarsles in the middle midpoint of your foot, and in
doing so, you end up damaging that Liz Frank ligament.

Speaker 5 (03:02):
Some people pronounce it Liz franc by the way.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
But the point is this is it's a really tricky
injury to recover from. Most people try to try, obviously
to avoid surgery at all costs. However, as time is
worn on with athletes, most have figured out that it's
probably best to be able to what's called fuse that joint,
to be able to make it stable. And so what

(03:27):
they do is they take these kind of metal staple
looking things and they will drive them into your bones
and they will allow the bones to heal over which
create a mass, right like a massive, just kind of
stable bone almost in your midfoot. Now you lose mobility
and flexibility, changes how you walk and you run, but

(03:49):
it takes away the pain and it creates stability in
that midfoot mid midfoot that you didn't have before, and
that's usually the route most people go, especially for athletes.
Now you can have it even more invasive, where you
get some screws put in and a plate to help
stabilize it. But there's been modern advances that have actually
helped improve this, so.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
It's not quite as invasive as that is.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
But most if you're trying to avoid surgery, you'd cast it,
hope that the bone heals properly, and then you transition
to a walking boot, a walking boot to some you know,
some crutches. You try to kind of move around a
little bit and hope that that works. But oftentimes it's
not the best way to go about treating it because
you ended up in a situation like Jimmy Garoppolo, where

(04:32):
it's now the end of May, You've signed a contract,
but you had to get surgery after signing this and
having a waiver put in at.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
It and all this stuff.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
So it leads me to this when I had the surgery,
and I didn't get it until after I was done
playing it in part because I was never in a
position and at the mid and end points of my
career to be able to have a team say we're
willing to give you what sixty some million, I think
in guarantees is what.

Speaker 5 (04:59):
Was additionally where you could go try.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
To get a contract like that and then be able
to have a surgery and they'd be willing to, like,
let you see that through. Now, even in Jimmy Garoppolo's case,
the Raiders aren't willing.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
To let him necessarily see this through. They put a
waiver in on it.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
If he can't pass a physical meaning if that foot
doesn't heal up in time, they can cut them.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
They don't have to have as part of the roster.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
They moved all those moneies to his base salary, so
that doesn't hit until the start of the season, and
so there's a time frame here, and I think they're
hoping he'll be back.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Ready for Week one of the NFL season.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
Look, I don't know the exact type of surgery has
or the specifics to his injury. It took me a
year before I can honestly tell you I was feeling
like closer to normal. I mean, it's a new normal,
but you know, pain free, not dealing with stuff. We're
at the end of May and I don't know the
exact date of the surgery. I would say it's gonna

(05:58):
be really, really hard for him him to be feeling
one hundred percent by the beginning of the football season.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
It just is.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I don't care what rehab and everything else he does,
it's going to be really hard to deal with still
some pain from the surgery.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
If he had anything close or similar to what I.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Had, I just don't I don't know how it's possible,
and I don't know how this like the Raiders find
themselves in this spot. So if he's not ready to go,
he says Jared Stenham.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Then right, Brian Horry is there as well, Brian Hoyer,
who you guys think.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
I think the odds are probably what Maybe they have
hoyrid get him through some I mean, the other thing
we'll say is some off offshore books have Tom Brady
at least last time I looked as a two to
one favorite. Oh my gosh, if Jimmy Garoppolo cannot go,
But like so, here's here are the other options.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
And cbssports dot com give a list of options that
are out there and tell me that Brady's not the
best option. I mean, seriously, you know, I'm talking about
entertainment purposes. By the way, I think Brady is vacationing
with Leonardo DiCaprio recently. They have a lot in common.
You want to look that up. But if you're just
looking at the list of options, here are some names
that were thrown out by CBS Sports. Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan,

(07:13):
Teddy Bridgewater. And then there's some veteran potential backup trades,
Andy Dalton, Jacoby Brissett, possibly Jacoby Brissett obviously familiar with
the Josh McDaniel system. And then you've got Tom Brady.
Of all those names all sounds horrible. But Tom Brady
and I know there's the ownership factor, and you know,
maybe he wants to pull out his bid and just

(07:35):
say I don't want any part of that, and I
would like to play one more year and then I'll
revisit this afterwards. Brady does feel like amongst all those
guys available, like he's the best option for the job.
Like not from just an entertainment standpoint or a storyline standpoint,
but just for the fact that you look at those
available names, and his relationship with Josh McDaniels, the fact

(08:00):
that you know he wanted to play there back a
couple of years ago, and it was Gruden who nicks
the deal and wanted to go with Derek Carr. Tom
Brady does feel like, for all the drama that comes
along with it, like the best option for the Raiders
at this point.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
I think that's they're in bad shape. If that's your
best option. I mean, I know he did fairly well
down you know, he just wasn't the same player to
me in Tampa this past year. I think his age
started to show, and I don't know that that's the

(08:33):
best he's the best, Like, if he's their best option,
then I don't know how good this is going to go.
And at what point do we look at at Tom
Brady and be like, come on, Tom, like, now it's time. Bro, Like,
I don't want to get there. I don't want to

(08:53):
I don't want to be having those conversations about him.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Would you rather have Tom Brady what you saw last
year or Jimmy Garoppolo with a cinder blocke foot? I mean,
because that's what it sounded like the way Brady described it.
He's walking around on a cinder hard.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
The hard thing is that it's his left foot, and
for a right handed quarterback, and that was what it
was for me. You know, you you push off with
your right you transfer all that energy, all that force
into your left foot, and it impacts your throwing motion.
I mean, the one thing I'll say about Jimmy Garoppolo
is he's had a really really short stride and so
he's you know, probably able to maybe handle that, you know,

(09:31):
better than others that have a longer stride. But I
just it's gonna be tough for him to be pain
free and trying to deal with it unless he had
a less invasive surgery, which again it's you know, what
do they say, the only you know, non major surgery
is the one that's.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
Not being done on you.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah, it's it's like it's it's hard to think that, Yeah,
it's gonna be a minor surgery, right, I just I.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Don't know, man, I look at it and I go
and the fact that the Raiders can get out of
this if he's not able to play a game, they
can get out of this whole deal. I just And
if he had the surgery in March, so it.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Makes sense for the Raiders, Like you've pointed that out.
What does it make sense for Tom Brady? Like this
isn't Tom Brady leaving New England and then going to
Tampa and then winning a Super Bowl in the first year,
and you know, being a little younger, and it just
it seems like that that team is probably the worst
in the AFC West. Maybe Raiders fans weren't agree, but

(10:30):
I think if you look at outside of DeVante Adams
and Max Crosby some of the other pieces, they're probably
not the favorite or anywhere close to win the AFC West.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Yeah, the bottom of the barrel, yep.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
And and so.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
What he's going to go there just to reunite with
Josh McDaniels and play another year or so, like does
don't you think he wants to come back, he wants
to play, play well and try to get to a
Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I mean, the AFC is loaded with.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
Stud qbs and it's like jam packed to get in
the playoffs, I would think the NFC has a much
easier path.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Eleven to one, the Raiders are to win the AFC West.
The next closest team is the Broncos at five five
and a half to one. So for those wondering what
the projection is for the Raiders, that's where we're at
right now.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
I mean, could they end up having a comparable year
to the Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
No, that's impossible. You think impossible. They'll be better than that,
Like like they could have everybody get a list. Frank
in Arizona?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
What do you have against Sarazona? Man? Who knows?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Maybe I'm trying to reverse Jinx. I'm trying to bet
the over on wins, and I just figure if I
speak it into existence, like that's that's what's gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Right.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Q Out asked the question to you, do you think
that the Raiders have a better season wins wise than
the Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
I mean I do, although I don't know if it'll
be by much. I mean, it all depends on if
Garoppolo's back healthy starting Week one or not. I mean,
it's it's it's it's early. It's early in the the
off season to know, Like, if you're a gambling person,
I would not lay any money on this until you
get a better idea of Jimmy Garoppolo's status. But it's

(12:12):
really concerning given the things that have come out this week.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yeah, see, I don't I think the way things are
unfolding in Las Vegas, I don't see them being any
in fact, in fact, if we're if we're looking at
it with a critical eye. And and also I had
just started interrupt Jared Stidham. We said the name earlier.
He's now actually in Denver, so Brian Hoyer is the backup,
yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
And then O'Connell's the young man they drafted out of
Purdue in the fourth round, which I mean, he's capable,
you know, of of going there starting some games.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
But they're there.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
The Stidham thing, the Stidham one was the interesting move
where they traded they trade for me they signed him,
they sign him a free age, signed him, and that
was more of that speculations like wait a second, like
Peyton's coming in there and signing one of his guys,
Like well, where where where was Peyton Stidham ever?

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Together, Yeah, it's not going to end well in Vegas
this year. Yes, I'm I'm I'm gonna just put that
out there, right, So you're trying to say it the
super Bowl, they're going to have a tougher way to
way to go than even the Arizona Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
So you're trying to say that the super Bowl next
year in Vegas will not be hosted by the Raiders
and also the Raiders. It'll be hosted, it'll be hosted
about they won't be starring they were starting Okay, that's interesting.
They won't be starring in that. Well, it's unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
It's crazy to think though, if they had a bad season,
because there were people in Josh mctaniel's first year who
were so quick to want to move on and you're like, dude,
you guys just fired John Gruden. There's a whole dispute
with that and paying him in that staff. Now you
want to move on from Josh McDaniels halfway through the
first year, like you don't have the cash to do

(13:58):
so you're gonna be patients and see some of this
stuff through at this point.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Listen, you're you're we were talking about at the time.
I know Berdo didn't want to hear any part of
this conversation. But you're gonna look back and and not
realize how good you had it with Derek Carr until
he's gone, and it feels like that's not We're not
even a year in and that's already shaping up, like Darren.
Such a bad spot, man.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
I think looking back on it, in the justification as
to why they moved on from Derek Carr is perplexing.

Speaker 7 (14:25):
Like it.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
I mean, if you could take Derek Carr Jimmy Garoppolo
both healthy, take it.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Right now every day and they want to make Garolo healthy, but.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
That's the promise. He's never really been healthy, so it's
kind of a trick question.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
I'm gonna take the trick. I'm a trick and treat
on this one, and I'm taking Garoppolo if he's healthy.
I'm gonna take a chance, and then I'm gonna be
mad that I took the chance, and now he's hurt.
But I'm still going I'm gonna I'm gonna be the
one that bites, you know.

Speaker 5 (14:55):
Then you're going out with him. Yeah, yeah, Vegas when
he's hurt.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, actually we could still be rinds.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Yeah, that plays out better for your social life.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Yeah, that's that's Jimmy Garoppolo goes to Margaritaville on the
Vegas Strip. Do you guys think that that's why they
brought Jimmy Garoppolo to Vegas? Like the real true reason
is the value that they get hanging out with him
off the field. I mean, I mean, is that a possibility.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
He's he's dialed into certain industries.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I mean, they were going to give him a lifetime
or they did give him a lifetime free pass to Sapphire.
The Bunny Ranch. Yeah, yeah, there's that that place.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Has there been any issues with professional athletes at the
Bunny Ranch?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Like lamar odoms? Dang? Is that the Bunny Ranch?

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I think so.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Yeah, Yeah, that came quick to you.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It did come quick. You know, Well, because he knows
about the Bunny Ranch. He made some he made some Well.
I live in the Canao Valley. You are a little
bit more responsible in your Bunny Valley. Yeah, Cano Valley.
It's called yeah, the Rabbit Valley. Rabbit Valley insider have
a brain hop hippity hop hippity hop like sounds like
somebody's spending. Simon was espinol away. Is that what it's called?

Speaker 6 (16:04):
There?

Speaker 3 (16:05):
And South? How do you guys know this all the
it's it's terminology, you know. The k stumbled over there.
At one point, after Brady and I housed about fifty
five donut holes at a steakhouse, well, yeah, that we're
eating donut holes.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Retired commercial airline pilots talked about all this times flying
by the way, those lying drunk, which that was really comforting.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Those are the best donors.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
I was like, well, I gotta fly out here in
a few days. So thanks.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
We went from man, we feel like fat asses because
we're eating donut holes on a weeknight to some guy
talking about flying drunk as a pilot. All right, Yeah,
it's not not a good spot, all right, but it
is two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on

the one and only Petros Papadeka, is the co host
of the Petros and Money Show on the Blowtorch AM
five seventy l a sports a Fox College Football analyst,
and you can get them on Twitter at the old
p P. What's happening? Good morning, Good.

Speaker 8 (17:33):
Morning to everybody. Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello. You guys want
to talk about Red red Wine? Is that why you
played it? Yes, we want to have Petro nomore potwa
But red red Wine was Red Redwind's a cover of
a Neil Diamond song, right, I think so?

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (17:51):
Okay, but it's not really a cover of a Neil
Diamond song because ub forty is a cover band and
they mostly only play cover, but they're covering Jamaican hits
from like the sixties and seventies. So they're covering the
Red Red Wine by guy named Ken Booth and that's
that cover and it was a huge number one. Now

(18:13):
do you know what a UB forty is. No, a
UB forty is an unemployment check in England, which is
where the band met. It's a massive band that used
to be a bunch of guys in it and they
have black guys like the guy that's saying, you know,
red red Wine, you're make me feed this sot fie
and you keep me or upet that guy Astro he's dead.

(18:37):
Oh wow, so that he was gonna sucked.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
He was black though I thought I didn't he was
black though he was black.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
And there are two There are two UB forty brothers,
and there are two UB forties now because the brothers
hate each other. There's one brother who sounds nothing like
the UB forty guy that we all know. His voice,
that's Ali Campbell. The brother sounds like crap and they
perform as UB forty. Now, if you want to see

(19:06):
UB forty that sounds good. It's UB forty with Ali Campbell,
And that's the UB forty that you want to see
because Ali Campbell, the guy with the weird white guy voice,
still sounds really good and they still come out with well,
up until like four or five years ago, they were

(19:26):
still making new music.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
So there you goez, you know all that, no kidding,
I'm just gonna ask.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (19:32):
I don't really have a real job and I don't
leave the basement much.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
Wow. Yeah, but this feels like, like what got you
into reggae to begin with? Did you have a teammate?

Speaker 8 (19:42):
Had We had a Jamaican nanny while my.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Parents ran the restaurant. That's right, that's right, right.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
So but UB forty is a British band, a very
big British band, because reggae is huge in Britain and
I think it mostly came through Birmingham was where it
all started, because that's where the Jamaican Oh yeah, that's
what Tommy. They gave us the worst job, Tommy, but

(20:08):
the but that's that's that's kind of where a lot
I don't know where UB forty is from exactly, but
I would imagine, you know, some industrial British town where
people are depressed and learned about reggae through black immigrants.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Well you know where we're from, Petros. It's about Oe forty,
you know what I mean? You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 (20:28):
Old English? Yeah, damn right, yeah, I saw a gift
for whatever they call those what do they call it
when it moves, meme gift me? Okay, So then this
was a meme and it had a picture of a
forty of Old English and Saint Id's and like Mickey's
or something. Yeah, and it said this is what we drank,
and you drank white Claw. You drink white Claw. You know,

(20:51):
we are not the same, you know. And there's like
a lot of that gen X stuff, like you know,
if you did this, you know, if you know what
this is, then you're a certain age and you're not
the same as all these soft ass losers. And it
is true. I mean, when a giant forty ounce of
malt liquor in a fifteen year old's hand was like
the normal thing as opposed to whatever people drink now,

(21:15):
like jello shots, it is. It was a little bit
of a I'll never forget, you know, because my older brother,
you'll appreciate this. Levarnt was My older brother was at
SC when I was still in high school, right, so
I would go up to USC, which is like twenty
five minutes from where we live, and I'd be into

(21:36):
a world of college football. You know, you're in high school.
You know, you're sitting in geometry with a boner, all uncomfortable,
and then the next thing, you know, at four o'clock,
you know, you're playing dominoes with Kyle Waholtz. You know,
it was very it was it was a whole different world.
And when I drove up to SC or when I
was driven, there was a big billboard right off the

(21:59):
one ten on the exit, and it had a dude
all dressed up and you know, in gigantic pants like
we used to wear in the nineties, and he was
like stepping across the billboard in these big ass pants.
It was a cartoon guy and he was holding a
big old English forty and it said step to the
real Oh, And I just remember being a kid like

(22:21):
dun step to the room, you know. And you know,
but that like that culture and that whole thing, like
I'll never forget when the Chronic video came out and
the doc who's throwing all messed up made an appearance
and they said, you know, they opened the fridge with
all those forties in it, and it said, like my

(22:41):
homie Doc, no one can do it better, right, you
know that was Yeah, that hit very different, you know
because the Doc's album was a big deal to everybody.
But anyway, yeah, we don't drink white claw and there
were no zemas in that fridge. You're saying, you know,
zema was a thing people did. There was like a
Zema crew.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
You know, what happened to zema?

Speaker 8 (23:04):
Still around?

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (23:06):
I mean what happened to zema? Is everything is zema now?
Like that concept of like a clear malt beverage is
pretty widespread now, and everybody likes to drink those weird
life They give me terrible indigestion. I can't drink those
canned drinks.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
I can't do it.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Yeah, just a whiskey on the rocks.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Kids, Keep it healthy, keep it smooth.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
Yeah, that's what the kids want.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Petros.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
I do want to ask you a sports question regards
to just you know, conference realignment. We're hearing news Colorado's
looking at bolting to go back to the Big twelve.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
They are Yeah, how you feel about that?

Speaker 5 (23:46):
Yeah, do you feel I mean, isn't that?

Speaker 8 (23:48):
I mean, this this stuff that we talk about and
we're like, oh my god, can you believe Colorado's talking
to the Big twelve. It's like, yeah, Colorado, Utah, and
the Arizonas are gone.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
There is gone. You've shocked them. What was gone in
your I feel that way.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
And then of course I think Oregon and Washington are
going to get into whatever the next Big ten machination
is maybe probationary wise because they don't have a new deal,
but I think that they're gonna go there. I think
that news about Oregon and Washington, like all these stuff,
the PAC twelve is talking like solidarity and we're gonna
It's like all that goes out the window when one

(24:25):
of these conferences whispers in your ear and gives you
the invite, because right now, let's be honest, if you're
in the PAC twelve, you're on a sinking ship.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Now.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
The funny thing is, you know US West Coast types.
You hear Big twelve and you think, oh, Texas, Oklahoma,
It's like, yeah, they're leaving, So what is the Big
twelve going to be? It's gonna be Ames Iowa. It's
it's going to be that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
So with Ames Iowa, if you've had.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
Fort Worth, Texas baby horn Frogs, Yeah, and that's that's
not a big school, you know. I mean, I'll I'll
never forget. I mean, they're great programs, you know what
I mean, But it's just it's hard to imagine, much
like the PAC twelve without se and UCLA. I don't
know if we're going to have to imagine a PAC
twelve like that because I don't think it's going to exist.

(25:17):
But we are going to have to imagine a Big
twelve without Texas and Oklahoma because we're going to get
that in functional time and they are going to add
a bunch of teams. And I'm pretty sure, in fact,
reasonably sure that those are the four corner schools. I
guess is what you'd call them is what's going to

(25:38):
be added.

Speaker 7 (25:39):
Now.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
The one thing I thought that was a little weird
was we would never do this if it wasn't okay
with Coach Prime. It's like, okay, Coach Prime is going
to be coaching Florida State in like two days, you know,
I mean, do you know what I'm saying? Though, like,
don't just give the keys to the kingdom. They're selling
a seventy five dollars coach Prime sweatshirt on the Colorado

(26:01):
website that just goes from Prime.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
That's all says.

Speaker 8 (26:05):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Wait, so it's just says Prime.

Speaker 8 (26:08):
Nothing else like Colorado logo, but just Prime.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Hey, they did bring in over two hundred thousand dollars
up their spring game petros.

Speaker 8 (26:18):
They're making they're making money hand over fist. But always
be cautious of teams that celebrate in the off season.
Teams that have off season celebrations regarding transfers and recruiting
and hey we built a new stadium, or hey we
hired this coach. Generally, those are not teams that are
going to be celebrating a lot of victories in the fall.

(26:40):
And I don't know what's going to happen with Colorado,
but as I've seen it, first of all, he hired
Tim Brewster and he retweets Tim Brewster all the time.
Tim Brewster is a weirdo that's not somebody want to
be around. Like, so that that's a red flag for me.
A you mean instead up, Yeah, that guy he used

(27:02):
to work at Fox before your time, Brad. He was
a one and done.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Was he telling people to stand up? Back then?

Speaker 8 (27:07):
He was telling people all kinds of weird stuff. He's
a weird dude. So you hire that guy to go
and mother f everybody and run around and yell at
the team. It's like, my god, everything that Dion has
done gives me a sinking suspicion. I have no idea.
And he's obviously one of the great football players of
all time, and he did a great job at Jackson
and all that. But the more I see from what's

(27:30):
happening in Colorado, the more I think this guy doesn't
know what he's doing.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
But what do you mean? I mean, Jeel Jewel proves this.
He's all in.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
I know, I know and that and that's why I
have faith that it's going to work out. And when
I stare in the mirror, I say, you're wrong. Your
instincts about there are wrong. You know, I do, I
really do, But.

Speaker 5 (27:52):
You don't even know.

Speaker 8 (27:52):
You don't even know how. But I I By the way,
the more and more I.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
See toxic work environment, yeah, hr nightmare.

Speaker 8 (28:01):
The more I see this situation develop in Colorado, and
this guy just you know, dressed like a cowboy, and
it says Prime and doesn't say Colorado anywhere, and I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
And you know, we would never think about.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
Sorry, we're going to stand in the Pac twelve and
live in the bottom of the ocean and die like
one of those skeletons and a fish take swaying back
and forth holding onto a captain's wheel because Coach Prime
didn't want to go to the Big twelve. Sorry, we're
not going to save our program monetarily for the next
twenty years by jumping conferences because Coach Prime didn't want to. Like,

(28:34):
what an asinine statement, But whatever, I'm interested to see,
like everybody else, what happens with Colorado. I think Colorado
football has been wighed down for a long time. Growing up,
Colorado football was the thing in the southern California. People
wanted to go there. People wanted to play for new
Heiseel or McCartney. It was a cool spot.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
It really was. People still is a cool spot.

Speaker 8 (28:59):
It's a cool spot, but it's not thought of as
like a football destination for recruits in California anymore, which
is a big deal, probably for the in the Big
twelve situation, because they want to get back into Texas.
Bag Well that's a big problem with Nebraska and why
they hired Matt Ruhle right, they want to get back
into Texas. Matt Rule a guy with more of an
East Coast background. But I remember when he was at Baylor,

(29:20):
and I loved what he did at Baylor. That was
somebody I was really impressed with. And you know, they
were really crappy. So I did a lot of their
games and watched them develop and watching that was really interesting.
And he did not like flying, you know, Matt Rule,
So he would be in Texas and he just he

(29:41):
bought a pickup truck that came with a shotgun, and
he didn't he never picked the shotgun up. He was like,
they keep telling me, like to come get the gun
and Matt Matt Rule just drove all around Texas and recruited.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
You know, they have a car you've bought that actually
came with something besides this to be a itself.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
Well I bought. I mean, I haven't bought a car
in a long time because of my my lucrative cheven deal.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Yeah okay, okay, but you know.

Speaker 8 (30:09):
When I used to work with that big black, beautiful
cat on the corner of Figaro on Jefferson, Felix, Chevrolet
and Cadillac. Do you guys know about the cat? I don't.
Would you like me to tell you? Yes, he's bent
down at the knees a little bit, as you see
in the sign, because he's ready to pounce on you
with a goddamn great deal. He's got his fiery green

(30:29):
kneon eyes right, he's got a hand on the hip.
Why because Felix the Cat is comfortable with his sexuality.
He doesn't need to be judged by you. And he's
pointing at you, singling you out, saying you've got to
come in and get a great deal on an Escalade
or an SRX or a Chevy Blazer or Equinox. Let

(30:54):
me tell you something. Working with Felix, Chevrolet and Cadillac
on that beautiful iconic sign in the city of Los
Angeles was really one of the great footholds in my
early radio career. And I could you know it takes
about forty seconds to get through you know all the
things about the cat, and when you're a young radio
guy working by yourself, that clock's very important. It stares

(31:14):
at you.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Oh was that that the old Mandarin station Petros.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
Yes, they turned into a Korean station.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Remember that nice, nice set up that over there in
Santa Monica.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
Korean sounds like a different I mean, it's it's what
does it sound like? It sounds like you're like, I mean,
I can't speak Korean, I could just but it just
sounds like you're egging somebody on, you.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Know, like.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Wait, can we So how would it sound like Mike
McDaniel one side listening to Korean radio?

Speaker 5 (31:46):
What would that sound like?

Speaker 8 (31:47):
The top it Mike McDaniel, Well, VLVAR does a pretty
good Mike Daniel.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Who's Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Dolphins.

Speaker 8 (31:55):
Oh that guy?

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Yeah, this guy, this guy.

Speaker 8 (32:01):
I'm concerned about my future.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
I just want to be friends with.

Speaker 8 (32:09):
That inspires me to hit the A gap.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I really want you to get downhill and get them
balling in the egg.

Speaker 8 (32:18):
Like Mcdaand he's the guy with the glasses all yeah, yeah, Va.
There are so many vapors these days.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Like people really are sneaky.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
You know, You're like talking to somebody and all of
a sudden they have something in their mouth and all
of a sudden they're like You're like what what just happened?

Speaker 5 (32:34):
What was that?

Speaker 8 (32:35):
Was that weed was a tobacco?

Speaker 5 (32:36):
What do you?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
What?

Speaker 8 (32:37):
Are you vaping like a ghost which is different than
the giant robot d vaping right where you have like
a huge it looks like a giant microphone from the
seventies and like it fills up your car with smoke
like a Chien Chong movie, like you've seen that.

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Those people like the.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
Like they're like a dragon with the you know, but
usually like that kind of vaping with like the huge
thing that looks like, you know, you need to talk
with the thing against your throat like South part. Like
that kind of vaping usually comes along with like a
huge beard and some ear gauges. Oh yeah, and maybe
like a leather vest YEP.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
It's a fair point.

Speaker 8 (33:19):
But yeah, Korean sounds different than you know, Japanese and Chinese.
One more time, but if you guys ever watched like
I love these yakuza movies like this guy. There's a
lot of great ones, but this guy beat Takeshi. The
Japanese filmmaker, I mean, Quentin Tarantino copied like half of stuff.

(33:39):
He's he's awesome, and that is different like the Yakuza
movies where they're cutting off each other's fingers. It's a
real guttural like you know, they're like the way they
talk to each other very great. You know, it's like
it's really I.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Watch a lot of foreign film here Petros. Get him
