How the hell we feel in here?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Good?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
How are we feeling?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean, how are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I feel great?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Let's ask us, buddy. Yeah, we never really get a
response from you. You know.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm always about we, not me. That's my philosophy. Yeah,
come on, Yeah, the jass by the way, Joel Klatt
trying to snake that from me?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Man, I'm pretty sure he already did take it from you.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Now, I don't believe it's so good. If you're an og,
you know where the jks originated the jokes. Come on, man,
we you know weekend overnights been holding it down for years.
Joel Clatt blows into town like some F one tornado
and then realize you can't blow this building down. Not
happening here an F one? Yeah, not even It shouldn't
(01:58):
even be qualified.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
In the category. I actually been more dangerous than category one.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
That's why it's not dangerous. It's just enough one can't
do it. Yeah, what's no part of that?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
You know?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's like the Pat mcavee show starring aj Hawk trying
to steal Petrius's show name PMS.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You know, it's unfair with them. Can't do it, Thank
you coach.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
All right.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So with that being said, we do have a lot
of NFL storylines out there. A lot of people are
feeling like, you know, maybe the season is gone, maybe
there's a hope, maybe there's not any hope. Now there
is somebody in the NFL that we're going to get
to who does have because I feel like there's a
couple of us should feel pretty good about where our
(02:42):
Super Bowl picks are, and then there's a couple.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Of us that maybe are reevaluating kind of where they're at.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I'm the one of reevaluating. I mean, I've got the
Bengals winning at all on one in three football team, man,
I mean, they are struggling mightily. And I think the
most difficult thing about it is it's not like Burrow
is going to get healthier. You know, He's probably going
to have to sit out some games, you know, which
(03:09):
if that's the case, there they're most likely definitely out.
So I do wonder if internally they wish they would
have sat him for the first couple of weeks in
the hopes of him being closer to one hundred percent
because he does not look one hundred percent out there.
I mean, he looks like he's struggling and they're one
in three. They're oh in two in the division, which
(03:29):
you know, I kind of keep harping on this, but
you know the way the NFL schedule makers set up this,
you know this whole thing. The divisional games are huge,
and especially for a team if you're you know, have
a losing record at this point, if you haven't played
divisional games, you still have that out there for you
in your favor. They're oh in two in the division,
so they're behind the eight ball. You know, Baltimore looks
(03:51):
like they have a stranglehold on it, and unless they
start changing some things up and ripping off some wins fast,
which they're capable of, but I don't know if they are.
If Burrow's not one hundred percent, he just he looks immobile.
It doesn't look comfortable out there, and it's tough to watch,
and you wonder if they don't second guess not sitting
in the for to start the season.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I mean, Jamar Chase said it, and at the time
I think I I kind of dismissed it as Okay,
let's not get ridiculous here, but he said, man, sit,
sit a few weeks, sit the first four games or
five games, whatever he said, and now upon further review,
you look at it and go. I mean, he might
have been right. Like they don't they They look terrible
and Jamar Chase is complaining after the game, talking about
(04:33):
he's always open and Joe Burrow's his boy and he's still,
you know, continuing to complain about where they're at. I
just they look like a shell of themselves. I think
it's done. I think I think their seasons are wrap.
They're not going to the playoffs. Zach coffin lid So
that's done.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Well about your next to your other team?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, well was and you you had the Cowboys, correct, Brady?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I did? Yeah, which I mean I find.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
That damn right. So you gotta on the flip side.
You gotta feel good about that. In fact, Jerry Jones
feels good about it. The Cowboys are taking on the
Niners this weekend. That's the Sunday night football game. Please
let that outrate the Taylor Swift game from last week. Please,
if you're an NFL fan, do your due diligence, get
(05:16):
whatever you need to get done, and be locked into
a team, even put on like a bunch of other
TVs in the house that you're not even in the
room for. We've got to beat Taylor Swift and it's
got to happen this Sunday night. Jerry Jones knows the
importance of this game as they're in Santa Clara at
Levi Stadium to take on the San Francisco forty nine ers,
and he fused this as the path to get to
(05:38):
a super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
They are right now probably the most likely team to
go in Super Bowl, but in order for them to
get there, they've got to go by us, hopefully two times,
if that's where it falls in the playoffs. And we're
in the playoffs. But the bottom line is that you're
playing the best. This is a uh certainly you don't
(06:02):
need the game to tell you that you're playing the best,
but you need the game to show you how you
stack up and gives the best ap.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Fairly, Jerry forgot about the Eagles.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I was going to say he does get to play
the best team two times as well.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Did you say if we make the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Though I don't I thought he was pretty confident there.
We could have said that he was.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
But he kind of like if like he kind of
the way he made it sound. I mean, I don't
know if you want to go back and listen again,
but it's almost like he kind of made it. He
wasn't as definitive about that. I think he understands where
we are, where they are in the division at least.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh, if that's the way it falls, Yeah, that was Jerry.
I'm the fan in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So if that's the way it falls in the playoffs,
we're getting a confirmation here. And look a little subtle
dig at Philadelphia, we don't even pay attention to you,
even though you went to the super Bowl last year.
We're not even paying attention to you, Like, well.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
Those are the two best teams. They get to play
the two best teams and then and this is a test,
this is this is a tremendous test for Dallas. Like
if they if they prove out and they're able to
show well, if Dak plays well and the offense, offense
plays well, I think we would anticipate the defense is
(07:18):
going to play well. But we're going to learn a
lot about what this defense really is, you know, are
they as good as we think they are? And they've
proven that they are a very talented team. Quinn does
a great job of making sure he gained plans so
that defense does well.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
What's that Quinn? Yeah, quin right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Well he may. He makes sure that they're prepared very well.
And obviously the play calling has changed and Mike McCarthy
took it over, so we'll see if his play calling
is as effective against an equally strong opponent on defense
and in the forty nine ers. So I think I
think this is a super exciting game because it either
(08:03):
dispels what I've been thinking about Dallas or or confirms
it in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
It's that what you're saying, this is the game. This
is the one where, like, if Dallas wins, it's going
to change your opinion.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
So far, here's the problem.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Yeah, I mean yes, I mean depending on how they
excite it. And to be honest, I don't even know
that they have to win to change my opinion.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
But here here's the problem. Dallas does this every year
because maybe they show up for this game and maybe
they win this game, there's going to be another game
down the stretch where they're going to lay an egg
and it's going to be man, Dak's still Dak. Like
it feels like we have the same conversation with them
every year. And speaking of like the Niners have ended
their season the past couple of years, so San Francisco
(08:48):
has had their way with them.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I just well, I'm just saying I look at it,
don't you. And I've got.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Dallas winning the Super Bowl. So I'm with Brady here.
I think Dallas is the goods. But it does feel like,
no matter what, there's still going to be reservations about
Dak Prescott and the Cowboys until they get it done
in the postseason. That the regular season is just for
a lot of the hype and a lot of I.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Don't know that that's that's not I don't know that
that's necessarily fair to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Of course, if.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
They're proven to have a if they if they do
what they need to do to garner the excitement and
the buy in because of what they're doing in the
regular season, then that's what it is. I mean, if
they're playing well in the regular season, as I've heard
you mentioned many times, once you get to the playoffs,
it's it's it's whatever goes from there. If you made
(09:38):
it in like, everybody's got a chance. Yeah, So to me,
it's I don't think it's fair to to not fairly
judge a team if they they work to get the results.
I mean, look at look at our segment talking about
the Steelers. We could very easily be talking about a
team that has dealt with adversity in the Dallas Cowboys,
(09:58):
with injury and falling off. No one would be sitting
there saying we didn't expect them to not be as
good as they were on defense, losing Trayvon Diggs, or
not be as good as they've been on offense, having
the injuries that they've had to get through. But yet
they've still continued to deliver. Now, whether that's because the
(10:19):
competition isn't up to snuff or not, I guess we're
going to find out this week. This is a real test.
It's a step up game for the Dallas Cowboys, and
they can answer a lot of questions, especially from skeptics
like myself. I just don't trust the offense. I've continued
to say, I don't trust the offense. I don't know
(10:41):
that their offensive line can hold up and live up
to the expectation. And if they can't, I don't know
that Dak I don't know that he can. And that's
just been my skepticism towards them. If they have a
great weekend against against the forty nine ers, if they
have a great game against the forty nine ers, then
I think moving forward you have to I me personally,
(11:04):
will give them a lot more respect and a lot
more credit and a lot more grace moving forward. In
the side, how about that, it doesn't make me think
they're well, I still don't think that that makes unless
they go do it against Philly as well. I don't
know that it changes my mind in terms of them
being a super Bowl team. I still don't think they're
a super Bowl team right now, but I will change
(11:24):
my opinion on them.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
So the whole year we have to deal with this.
For You're not going to be on their bandwagon with
their playoff team.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I mean, things is football. It's the greatest reality TV
show ever. I if their script starts paying out where
it's like, oh, get on board, get on board with them.
I just I feel like they're they're a lot like Colorado.
Geez they're the pro Colorado is like we believe in
(11:52):
on a lot of people believe in the fanfare. They
buy into it. But you got to go win the
big ones, you know, got to go in big ones.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
So what would you consider successful for the Cowboys this year?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:05):
The season?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah, to where you would look at it and go
all right, I'm willing to, you know, pull off a
little bit on my criticism and skepticism of Dak Prestle.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I told you I'll pull off on my criticism and
skepticism if they beat teams like San Francisco in the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So if they swept the Eagles and beat San fran
that that's what it'll take for you to be like,
all right, they're here.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
That was well, I don't know that they're hair, but
that would be to me, that would be a successful
That would be a successful regular season run. Okay, what
for successful?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
What if they beat the Niners but recently got pistol
whipped by the Cardinals?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Does that what? They didn't that mean?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
They did get beat up by the Cardinals. And I
just think that that was one of those games where
if I really wanted to beat that type of guy,
be like I told you so, they but I don't.
I just felt like it was a fluky game. I
felt like that's one of those games. It was a
trap game, classic track game. I'm not I'm not gonna
hold that against him because it's too early in the season.
(13:04):
But this is a big game. This is one of
those games where you say this week of preparation like
and this was what made me feel a certain type
of way listening to coach Tomlin talk about, you know,
his team the way that he did. If you have
a really good team, they should know to step up
their their pace, They should know to work with a
(13:24):
certain level of intensity. You shouldn't have to have the
coach sit there and say something like that in public
and say, you know, we're.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Not physical enough.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
We've got to practice harder, and we got to put
the pads on and you know, we got to clink
aty clanking and all this stuff. I just I think
in the pros you have enough professionals and enough adults
to know that this is one of those weeks. This
is one of those weeks where you got to gear up,
and you got to strap up, and we got to
roll out like some like some dang transformers out this
(13:52):
bad boy like let's roll out, you know, or to me, yeah,
well I'm not not not Ludicris but more like Optimus Prime.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
But anyway, I think that Dallas knows that.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
I think that Dallas understands that they're super love but
they're also super maligned. They're super believed in, but they're
also super like super skeptics and super critics that fall
on the side of not not believing in what what
Dallas can be. They should have enough motivation to go
into this game and put their best foot forward. They
(14:27):
certainly should.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
All right, So over under thirty grand how much do
you think Jerry Jones is spent in plastic surgery the
last fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Under I'm going to take that turn turns.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I'm just saying that that's that that feels like
relevant to the conversation.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'm not touching that one.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Jacket Jerry asking questions.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I don't know why Jonas like's going there. I mean,
maybe that's like the so calling. I'm not really sure,
but it's so weird, like how you took a turn
from everything. LeVar just said as he's planning his flag
against the Dallas Cowboys this year, how you took that turn?
I have no idea how you got.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
There's nothing wrong with seles. There's nothing wrong with self improvement. Look,
I've got veneers. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Rolls right? How do you not have a like?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
I was either waiting for you or Brady to have
a great you know, rebuttal or refute or what do
you mean? You're going thirty grand over under on plastic
surgeries on the owner?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
I think it should be more. Okay, I'm sixty. I
mean what do you all double up on that? I'm
just saying here. You know where we stand. Dallas is
going to the super Bowl and they're winning the super Bowl.
And furthermore, there are three and a half point underdog
this Sunday night. Take Dallas and take them on the
money line. They're winning this out right on Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Is that for bold?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well? Thank you? Thank you? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
You want to give him a half haf on that cube?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Come on, Brady one on that one.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, you're taking the points to no laying the point.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
At some point, brock Purty's got to lose points.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Rock Purtty has to lose a game he starts and
not want to get in gets injured in the playoffs.
He's got to lose a regular season game.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
He's playing. Well, man, they got some stars. Everyone glosses
over how good Christian McCaffrey's playing this year. Yeah, when
are we gonna start talking about him?
Speaker 5 (16:23):
I'm VP candidate.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
We can I mean, you picked the segment.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Let me know, just stop. I mean, can you just
keep us on track at some point?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Can.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
It's Two Pros and a Cup of Joe here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Some milk.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, you take add medicine, don't you. Damn well, Joe LeVar, Arrington,
Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. All right, So
coming up, you know, we need to get back on track.
There's only one man that can do that, and it's
Petros Papadakis, the Old Pe on Twitter, and the Old
Pe is coming up next here from the time IRAQ
(17:00):
dot Com studios.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Errington, and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Right now, it is another Wednesday tradition. It is the
old p Petros popadaekus the cost of the Petro some
money show, which you can hear on the blowtorch AM
five to seven e LA Sports. A Fox College football
analyst pee, what's happening?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
How we feeling?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Everything's all right? I guess just all right.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
Well, it's an interesting time of year for me because
because of the schedule, I do like two games a
week all through September, or at least the last three weeks.
So six games and three weeks. That's a lot of football.
And now that the baseball playoffs has started, I go
back to one game a week. That's the That's the
(17:56):
magic of Fox Sports. Working for sports for many years.
What happens is they work you so much and I'm
proud to do the work that a normal work week
feels light. So, but then the radio gets a lot
heavier because there's no Dodger Baseball this week because all
(18:18):
the wild cards and they don't play till Saturday or
Sunday or something, so that means a lot of four
hour radio shows but only one football game. So a
little bit of a shift in October.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
You get super excited when you get those pre emptied
pre emptied dips that take place, did to like a
two hour, one hour show?
Speaker 8 (18:42):
Oh well, that happens throughout the summer, you know, and
sometimes it's great and sometimes it's inconvenient because you know,
you have stuff during the day that you're used to doing.
But yeah, that's usually when the baseball's and then you know,
the Clippers come and we stop. You know, we go
early for Monday night football or Thursday night. The schedule
(19:03):
is forever changing.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
LeVar and Petros, you guys do have a great relationship
with the Clippers, so.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Oh yeah, decided to cover them.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
And Matthew Stafford's family.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Lovely lady and my apologies to her.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Yeah, she doesn't have me to kick around on Sunday
nights anymore. If she wants, if she wants to get
after me, she can, Uh, she can watch Texas Tech,
Iowa State.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
She's got Jonus now.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Not at all. He is the USC defense? Is it
the bad guy?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Is it better or worse than last year? The Trojan defense?
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, I don't think.
Speaker 8 (19:48):
Lincoln Riley says that if you say that, it's the
same that you have an untrained eye. So I don't
want to expose myself as a crappy football analyst and
say it's the same, but it feels mighty the same.
I'm beginning to suspect, and maybe I'm being a little
sarcastic in saying this, that Lincoln Riley doesn't care much
(20:12):
about the defensive side of the ball, and if he does,
he cares about the defensive side of the ball playing
second fiddle to his fabulous and brilliant offense, which has
always been the case when he's the head coach. He's
not a guy that does anything at all to help
the defense. And you say, well, what is that, Well,
(20:34):
it's really just running the ball and running clock and
handling your game management down the stretch in a different
way than just trying to score points as quickly as
possible and rack up stats for your Heisman Trophy winning quarterback.
The example is USC ran them ball nine times in
(20:55):
the second half against Colorado, and I think, I don't know,
he might have been on a plane at that point,
but I think they had a thirty four fourteen lead
or something at halftime, and they only ran them all
nine times. Of those nine runs, they only called six
of them. Three of them were just Caleb Williams scrambling
when he had dropped back to path. So that's not
(21:19):
helping your defense at all. I mean, USC I saw
was running tempo early, you know, late all throughout that
second half, when they could just be taking the air
out of the ball. Keep your defense off the field,
get out of there with dignity, as opposed to having
Dion find some way to celebrate.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
At the end of the game.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
So it's been a lot of that in the Lincoln
Riley era, and I think that that's what that's what
he prefers. That must be the kind of football team
he wants to coach, and I'm sure he believes they
can score fifty points in every game and win, but
they've never had an undefeated type of season when he's
(22:02):
the head coach at Oklahoma or USC where they do
run the gauntlet and are able to do that to
every single team. You have to at some point be
able to stop somebody at some time, and you have
to set your defense up to be able to do that.
With play calling and complimentary football, I guess is the
(22:24):
way that they term it these days, and it just
doesn't exist at SC. I don't want to say it's
the same as last year because that makes me look stupid.
But it feels a lot like last year when people
don't get off blocks, they don't fight to the tackle. Look,
I did USC Colorado last year and I think probably
like nine million less people watched it. But Colorado ran
(22:47):
the ball on USC last year. Deon Sanders actually called
run plays and or that tall guy from Kent State
called a bunch of run plays, and they ran the
ball on USA. I mean, I don't know, I don't
think there's a team out there that couldn't run the
ball on Alex Crnch's defense.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
And if that.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Looks a lot like last year, and that exposes me,
that's a troglodyne analyst, then you know, for shame for me,
I guess I'm not a trained football.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
It's a thin margin for air, right, because all it
takes is one bad day for Kayla Williams, and even
though he feels invincible, it's like, well, we all have
our bad days. You just hope that day is not
on a day that you're playing Utah or Oregon or whoever.
Speaker 8 (23:32):
And I don't know if you talk and score with him,
but I know Ortonan and Washington can.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
For sure, right, so right, I was going to ask you,
just looking at the landscape of college football, it's kind
of cool to see where we're at right now, Like,
I don't think we have that definitive number one team.
Maybe you feel differently, but this feels like a year
where I'm excited to see what the playoff looks like
it ends up being. But I'm kind of excited for
like a twelve team playoff too, because this would have
(23:58):
been probably, in my the perfect year for that, because
you do have so many teams that could be in
the mix that I think match up and would be
interesting to see them square off. Do you see the
college football landscape as that right now now that we're
kind of technically almost halfway through or halfway.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Through, yeah, I mean Oklahoma Texas is going to tell
us a lot, right, Texas got through September, beat Alabama,
and they look a lot better up front. Now I'm
not doing it. I'm not getting behind Sark. I've done
it for years and every year they end up winning
(24:37):
six or seven games. So I'm sure Texas is better
than that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
This year.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
They look better than that.
Speaker 8 (24:44):
Yours is healthy and he's a really good player, But
I don't I just can't do.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It, and my conscience won't allow me.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
But they're going to have Houston BYU, after Oklahoma, Kansas State.
It's got to come there. They got to go to TCU,
they got to go to Iowa State. I mean, Texas
should be able to be that team right now. I
don't think it'll happen in the PAC twelve. I think
we'll cannibalize each other like we always do. And I
(25:15):
think you'll get your perennials out of the SEC probably two,
and it'll be Michigan or Ohio State as the other one.
So Michigan, Ohio State, maybe Texas and then your two
SEC teams and then it's as boring as hell like
it usually. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about your Penn
State and Nitney lives. But they don't ever win. I mean,
(25:39):
they haven't won. They haven't done it. You know, they
haven't overcome those other two. No, No, I haven't seen
the team much this year, to be honest with you,
so pretty special.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
I mean I feel like October usually separates everybody and
it's probably the same as as it always is.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
But I agree with you there. Let me ask you this,
and and looking at where USC is right now, how
realistic is it that you think they can run the table?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Not not realistic.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
I mean you look at every game and if they
continue to win the previous week, they're going to be
favored to win every game down the stretch. But like
Brady said, there's going to be a game where where
he tweaks an ankle or something.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You know, he runs around.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
A lot, and there's going to be a game where
they're not ahead, and somebody is going to be able
to score with them because the defense just it doesn't
stop anybody. So and people run the ball on them
quite easily, and you can keep the ball away from
them and run.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Clock perhaps if you create a leade.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
So it's not realistic to think of them running the table,
just in the perspective of the past, right same with
Penn State.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
But uh, look.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
At you got. You're gonna go to Notre Dame. Notre
Dame's a physical team, and that's like the Bruce Springsteen
concert right in the middle of.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Your physical that ohios.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
I mean, not playing a Notre Dame is like, you know,
going to the your only dead show in your life.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
For going to see Springsteen.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
It's all just white arms against you, you know, just
flying white arms, and it's the inside of people's arms,
you know, because they got their arms up, so it's
really white.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You know what does that mean? All white arms, just.
Speaker 8 (27:38):
All screaming white people in the So I mean, it's
a hell of it. It's a it's a I mean, Brady,
it's old hat to you. I mean, but for most
people take the field in a place like Notre Dame,
it's a once in a lifetime type of feeling, and
it's a it's a crazy game to play in, so
you never know what the hell is going to happen. Uh,
(27:59):
so you Notre name. Then they got to have Utah
and who knows what their situation is. Cam Rising may
play at some point one day. So I mean the
first six games for USC we're pretty easy teams.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know, say State Nevada combined wins or all their
opponents is six wins.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Right, and now everybody down the stretch other than Cal
is ranked right or UCLA is not. But I mean
that so no, to me, it's just it's not realistic.
But it'll be fun to watch whatever happens. Because Caleb
Williams is so spectacular and such a talent, and I
love the back zero Marshaun Lloyd. He's emerged. I wish
(28:45):
they would give them the ball a little bit more.
But I think their identity is their identity, and I
think Lincoln Riley knows exactly what they are and that
must be how he wants it to be. Otherwise they
would have done something different. A coordinator.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Get him on Twitter at the old p Petros Papade gives.
He is the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the blow towards AM five
seventy LA Sports. A Fox College football analyst and not
a believer in the USC Trojan.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
It've got to be careful, Petroll.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
I mean, what do you mean a believer? I mean
you're gonna win ten games. That's good, you know, I
mean those are great, that's great. But I'm just talking
about the title.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I'm just saying, you gotta be careful because Lincoln Riley
will pull your credentials if you're too critical of them.
Speaker 8 (29:24):
So I won't even look. They keep winning, he won't
have to worry about me. Okay, you know, Dion loses
a few more, he might have to start worrying that
he's going to fall. Okay, he's going to fall to
the Petros Papaeka zoom call where I say, hey, coach,
how's it going?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
My name is Petros Papadakas.
Speaker 8 (29:41):
That's Alex Faustar played by Brad Weimer, our producer, our
director Brian Biederman. How's the week been a tough week
for you coming off a loss? But uh, I'm sure
the guys have bounced back. How's everybody feeling.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Pa Petros will do it again next week? Always a
good time.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
You lose last week, coach Prime, but your team still
has a lot of fanfare.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
How's it going?
Speaker 8 (30:08):
I went on that baby and little Baby and baby
Face and baby Face Nelson and big Baby Jesus, they
were all down there on the side here is.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I'll wait for this. I'll be wait for this pet Us.
Speaker 8 (30:20):
The whole whole interview, you guys asked me college football questions.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Lavarget's all worried that I don't mention Penn State.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Well I did, I got I got a little honestly almost.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
I have to I have to admit I never think
about Penn State. Oh man, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I don't know either. I know, I know, but you know,
but as an analyst, you should know who we are
this year for sir.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah we are. I don't know, right, I don't know
we are.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
You know, we'll see what happens around Halloween. Yeah all right, well,
no one required. You know, every time we come to
a Penn State game, that Franklin guy goes, we don't
want them because they're not here, and it's.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Like, okay, whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Be that the old p on Twitter, Petros always fun man.
We'll do it again next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (31:06):

What God, No, here's Brady Quick?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (33:51):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Is anyone here a fan of the Mick rib.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I'll be honest with you, it's not that bad.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
I had it as a I never had as a
teenager or adult.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I don't know how I feel it. They put pickles
on it, don't they.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
I don't actually know that. It's been so long since
I've had it, but I do know this. Apparently they
gave it a grand farewell tour in twenty twenty two,
so no one thought it was coming back, and a
McDonald's rep has come out and said, turns out not
everyone was ready to say goodbye to the mcribs, So
it will be coming back for a limited time in November.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I mean, make up your mind. I know what it like?
Speaker 8 (34:33):
What Lee?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
You would know better.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Than there are pickles on it?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
By the way, Yeah, so is it just pickles?
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Because I feel like it's like pickles, and I don't
know if that looks like onions.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I need shredded lettuce.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I would like some shredded lettuce on It kind of
adds a little crunch to it, a little something, you know, further,
but it just.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
It seems pretty simple.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
There's videos online where you can see how they make it,
and there's not a whole lot going on there, and
it doesn't look all that healthy, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Speaking of healthy foods. By the way, can I give
you guys four popular foods that experts are saying is
actually a safety risk if you're getting it from a
grocery store. Right, all right, here we go. Raw sprouts, yeah,
alfalfa sprouts, clover, Yeah, you shouldn't. Apparently, this is according
to a microbiologist at the University of Delaware. They believe
(35:24):
that there's a lot of bacterias that can exist on
these foods. So these four things you should really avoid
when you go to your grocery store. It starts off
with sprouts. The next one's raw unpasteurized milk, which I mean,
are that many people buying raw and pasteurized milk?
Speaker 4 (35:40):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
This one, This one actually is interesting to me because
I had a buddy who's in logistics and they ship
fruit and things like that to grocers and it's produced
produce that's been pre cut. You never want to do that.
And the reason why in this article details it, but
he explained it to me is this. The pre cut
fruit is stuff that didn't actually pass the inspection when
(36:05):
it was in its hole like a melon for a time. Yes,
And so what they do to save it is they
cut it. They cut off the pieces that are bad.
Oh god, and they cut the pre cup stuff, put
into a cup and then sell it as fresh fruit.
So there's a greater chance for bacteria other issues from that.
(36:25):
And then the last thing is the hot food bars,
which I know are really popular at whole Foods for example,
But basically if the foods are over or aren't over
one hundred and forty degrees, are over or aren't under
forty degrees, if it's chilled, you could have some problems there.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
So basically that one hundred degree one hundred degree difference
there any anywhere in between there Oh.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah, it's like a breeding ground for bacteria.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
Gotten.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
You know, there's some a hole who's you know, sitting
in his car being like what are these guys?
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Know?
Speaker 3 (36:56):
And you listen off the the items that you shouldn't
get and they're sitting there with a hot breakfast.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
Now they're rethinking their lives. Eat all that stuff.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
I've done, Childen Wings like Cole.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Damn Well, I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
The hot bar sometimes is a place to maybe have
a hot date every once in a while. And speaking
of a hot date, this Florida man, well, he got
more than a bargain for after meeting up with a
date through a dating app and during the date, after
they met up at a restaurant, they went back to
his apartment complex. This is a dating app called Tagged.
She was on the phone texting a lot and even
(37:36):
made a phone call. When they arrived. There's two men waiting,
one with a gun to actually steal his twenty thirteen.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Masta, well, bringing your friends.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
They got a second date out of that,
