Speaker 1 (00:02):

and Jonas Knox on Box Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
How the hell we feel here a Wednesday morning?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Great?

Speaker 4 (00:18):
I mean, I feel like I know someone who is uh. Well,
it's gonna be interesting to see the music that is
played throughout the course of the show. I'll just I'll
leave it at that.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Why is that what happened?

Speaker 6 (00:27):
I mean, just talk to Lorena.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I just heard a little her a little insight into
things that are not going on or or I don't know.

Speaker 7 (00:37):
A theme.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
We got a theme behind the scenes, so we can
listen throughout all right, So we don't we don't want
to guess it. We just want to sin. We want
to listen through And.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Yes, yes, the security guard at the charges, that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:00):
Kind of thought that's.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
What it was. Wasn't sure?

Speaker 8 (01:03):
Ye?

Speaker 5 (01:05):
I mean, I am totally You.

Speaker 9 (01:07):
Had your hand in your pocket. I was saying, is
it handing in your pocket? Whatikes? Alright, Okay, I'm curious
to see what the theme is.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I love this is gonna be fun. A nice little
thread throughout the show. Courtesy of DJ Ray.

Speaker 9 (01:24):
Ray Oh no, DJ Ray.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
So we got the news yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I don't know this is this much of a surprise,
But the Dolphins are placing Tuatagua by Loa on I R.

Speaker 5 (01:36):
He will have to.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Miss at least four games. Now is it four games
or four weeks?

Speaker 7 (01:41):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
If the specifics on that, because they was four weeks. Okay,
so he'll.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Be out for four weeks, four games whatever, But the
move was made. They brought in Snoop Puntley, who we
were trying to figure out when that name changed. They've
got Skyler Thompson there. And so now this points are
I mean I never heard of Yeah, it's a little.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Bit like a point star name, that doesn't.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
It Skyler Thompson? I mean yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:10):
But I know now, I mean, thanks.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
You are.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I saw that in the show notes.

Speaker 9 (02:18):
Hey, you guys are good at good at identifying born names.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
So, so that being said, is the season on the
brink for the Dolphins if t is out.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
For these four games? And what's my man?

Speaker 7 (02:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
I can't figure out the TVs right now.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I got alien in the coop watches zero Sports on
TV during the Ben mallor shown. But that being said,
a lot of ta watching TV. Well, I mean the
Dolphins gonna be watching the playoffs at home. They're going
to be watching a lot of TV two stretch. Yeah,
come on, have a little faith. They got enough talent.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
But here's their schedule coming up at Seattle versus Tennessee
at New England by Yeah, that's not bad. They could
they can theoretically go on two and one, three and zero.

Speaker 7 (03:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
I guess if it was gonna happen, this is probably
the best part of the schedule.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It could have happened.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Why can't you guys be a little more respectful to
the New England Patriots.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Like I know that we know who they are.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I mean, I've been nothing but respectful to them this
entire offseason.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
I'm not saying that they are not going to be good.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I'm just saying that that three game stretch, granted two
of the three are on the road, it still gives
you a shot.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
And here's the other thing.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I don't know IF's Scalar Thompson's going to be the
guy or Snoop or Tyler Huntley is going to end
up being elevated into the role. I personally like Tyler Huntley.
I think he'd probably be better for the system. And
one of the reasons why I think he's going to
be able to adapt to it faster than people think
is he's been with Stefanski and that that tree actually

(04:01):
comes from the Mike Shanahan tree, which obviously Mike McDaniel's from,
but Stefanski was with Kubiak Kubiak who comes from Mike
Shanahan and all that, So the terminology should be similar,
even though they don't run or doesn't look exactly the
same in Cleveland, and obviously what Miami does there is

(04:21):
there is gonna be some similarities as far as the
verbiage and some of the terminology.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
So I think he'll be able to get up to
speed relatively.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Fast, and I'm sure that was part of the thought
process and bringing him in specifically.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
By the way, you want to know how bad Will
Levis and the Titans have been through two games, which,
according to our friends of DraftKings, the look ahead betting
line on the Dolphins Titans for next week, not this week,
but the week after, the Dolphins are six and a
half point favorite. The hell is that six and a
half point fit with with no Tua that that feels

(04:56):
like a bit of a stretch, But maybe to your
point this is if you're gonna have this happen, this
is the time of year, and this is the stretch
that it can happen.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
And say this.

Speaker 9 (05:03):
You know, I made the point in a show prior
after tua concussion that this is a bad look for
the National Football League. This isn't just a bad look
if we're looking at it in terms of how does
this houses get handled by the Dolphins. This is a
this is a shield issue. And you know, you look

(05:25):
around and you see how many people are chiming in.
People that don't even pay attention to football are chiming
in on Tua and what he should do. This is
this has transcended just being a football topic, a a
Dolphins topic. This is a yeah, you do hate it
because everybody who's talking about it, they they take the narrative,

(05:49):
they take the lane of he's got to retire, Oh
my gosh, his health for the rest of his life.
He what you know, then you had players doing it.
You know, I don't know if you guys saw what
Nate Burleson did, like where he got a message. He
reached out to Javid Bess who if you know who

(06:11):
remember who he was. He was pretty talented running back
out of cow that got drafted to Detroit, and he
kept getting concussions, and he had the same like he
had the same type of symptoms when he went down
and got a concussion, looked like he got knocked out,
like by a puncher in a boxing match. Like, same
type of way to a look when he got knocked out.

(06:31):
So I thought it was interesting that, Okay, you bring
in to play getting a message from him. You read
the message and you're talking about, you know what. His
decision was based off of how he felt about the
quality of his health moving on in his life, and
that seems to be the overarching theme, which again probably

(06:55):
should be the overarching theme, is to think about your
long term health when you see you know.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
To your point, though, like I find it interesting, like
when we see someone smoking a cigarette, how many times
do we walk up to one and go, hey, keep
doing that, you're probably gonna get lung cancer for your.

Speaker 7 (07:12):
Long term.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, when hey, hey, buddy, you should probably put the
bottle down.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
That's not gonna be good for your liver, right like it?

Speaker 4 (07:20):
How often do we ever, like impart ourselves on other
people's lives with their unhealthy habits or poor decisions.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's got to be really bad for you going to
get cut off at a bar, like for someone to
say you've had enough, Like, it's got.

Speaker 9 (07:33):
To get really really bad at that point. And and
I'm not doing it for your long term health. They're
doing it because the.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Probably their own Yeah, they don't want to get you.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
You get what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Like people are smoking cigarettes and all that, it's like, oh, no,
one walks up to them and says that you really
should quit, you really should stop thinking about that. And
it's like it only comes to like sports where all
of a sudden everyone comes out and they're, oh, I
have an opinion on it. It's like, no, you could
just go back to what you were doing before and
then let the experts, let the football people, let to
his family, the doctors around him, let them make a

(08:06):
decision for him.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
It's his life.

Speaker 9 (08:09):
And I think the problem of the point that I
guess I'm making right now is I think again, I
know I said the NFL needed to how are they
going to handle this, because they indeed have to have
a hand in this. I do not think that they
can stay out of out of the decision making process

(08:30):
or outside of what it is that the Dolphins are
going to do because of the optics of how important
it is the way they handle this scenario based upon
the stigmas and the judgments of what CTE has created
and concussions has created in terms of the narrative of

(08:50):
the game of football. So to me, I think this
is just as much the NFL being a part of
the conversations with the Dolphins in terms of, Hey, how
are we handling this, let's let's take let's do ir
so we have some more time to try to figure
out how exactly we go about handling this. This is

(09:11):
too specific of a large, a large conversation and problem
that was was super super prevalent for a moment in
time for football. For the NFL, they had to combat concussions.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
On a standalone stage. Again like the Thursday night he
suffered the one against Cincinnati. This was a Thursday night game,
so you got a lot of people who you know,
and it's not mixed like listen, the first year he
suffered those concussions. Kenny Pickett got two concussions that year too,
like multiple concussions. It's how it looks with too it,
I know, but it's the look of it. It was

(09:50):
also when Kenny Picketts happened, it was like in the
midst of like a bunch of games in the early
window on a Sunday, and so it didn't get the
attention or the coverage. But he he dealt with that too, too.
Was the only one that got talked about because of
the way it looks. I'm telling you, it's it's it's
a horror story for.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
We all understand what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's just at the end of the day, I mean,
four weeks, we'll go by, he'll probably choose to come
back and play, and then we'll move on like that.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
That's what we do. Like that's the reality of all this.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
And and look, I'm not trying to make a case
for against CT or anything like that, not an expert.
I just feel like there was still a lot that's
that's kind of unknown in regards to our brain, how
it works, what impacts it, and and the direct correlation
with with football and all that. There's a lot of
sports that you know, if you really do the research
and really look at it, you can attribute to you know,

(10:45):
women's soccer at the high school level, a lot of concussions,
a lot of head injuries, you know, headers things of
that nature.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's the highest, it was the highest women's soccer, So like, are.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
We just going to start taking away every single sport
because there's this thought that what it causes CT, well,
we don't really know. And I think that's most likely
where this is all going to end. And if we're
being real, if a doctor clears him and he can
go back to play, there's a lot of money that's

(11:16):
going to be left on the table if he chooses
not to. And there's nothing wrong with that. Two has
made enough money to be able to take care of
himself the rest of his life.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
It's his own decision. But you'd be crazy not to
think that he's about.

Speaker 9 (11:30):
Twenty million, one undred twenty million to be left on
the table. I just think it's the coverage. We can
talk about the other sports and we can talk about where.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Don't you think this is smart to put him on
EYR because then you haven't going to go away.

Speaker 9 (11:43):
Yes you have to, but but the moment he comes back,
it's going to come back.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
The conversation are going to come.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Back, especially the criticism of the Dolphins got over the
handling whether it was an independent neurologist or whatever. Why
was he back out there? You knew he has suffered
a concussion. Why was he back out there on a
short week?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Last? Yeah there.

Speaker 9 (12:03):
I don't think it turns into like what it turned
into when that movie came out.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
But I've got it. Yeah, idea, By the way, I think.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
We need more inside information. I've got an idea. I
think we I think we send in Lee, We send
in lead to Lap. We have him somehow, we get
him to be a character. Maybe it's a little early
for Halloween. Obviously we're sold in September. But maybe we
have him dress up and he becomes one of the
four known experts or neurologists in this field. We have

(12:34):
Lee spend the next three four weeks in South Florida
helping us get a better understanding of what's happening with Tuha.

Speaker 9 (12:41):
He has the biggest smile on his face. Grab the microphone.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
Let's hear that.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
Let's hear the intellect and the i Q of one
Lead to Lap come out talking about the place.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
You could stay and let me tell you why you
shouldn't scoff at that. Based on some of the opinions
that are thrown out. But he's he's has got as
good a credentials as anybody.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
How you feel about this, Lee, I feel very confident.

Speaker 10 (13:06):
I have I have.

Speaker 11 (13:07):
A lot of experience with head trauma.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Is that mostly induced? It was mostly induced by your
ex girlfriends?

Speaker 12 (13:18):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (13:19):
That is partly so, yes, more recently than you imagine.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Lee walks into the Lee walks into the building with
a briefcase and they're like, weren't you just at the
Clevelander last night?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Listen to a different guy, Lee, We got to cut
your hair though, to a normal haircut.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
You you're walking around as a.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
Neurologist, right, somebody's got a rocket man, No one has
to you're you're you're too old for that. And the
other thing is, if you're really going to go through
with this, we need you to look the part and
to be acting the part.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
And I think you're capable of it. I seed you
to commit to it. I could do that.

Speaker 10 (13:52):
I think the bullet has come to an end, by the.

Speaker 9 (13:53):
Way, Thank you. I don't know, man, I think you
rock hit on with that Kenny power.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
You have to be like Australian or something. You know,
you have to be like one of those like cool
neurologists who's like, I, mate.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Yeah, no, I'm a neurologist.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Might yeah, but uh I, I also saif and uh
I once you know, I didn't go hit my baby
that sort of thing.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Tang.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
The guys in Pittsburgh don't look like that. They don't
have bullets. The guys in Pittsburgh you go see for
the oh yeah, they don't know. They don't know mullets.
I was also thinking about this when it comes to
the to a discussion, like, I wonder how much of
the hesitancy from the Dolphins to pay him was about

(14:35):
this stuff, because I don't think you can argue that
he wasn't deserving of a contract based on his play,
like he's been great under Mike McDaniel. I wonder if
the delay was Miami's concern over stuff like this and
not even just the concussions. He's had injuries throughout the
course of his career, even going back all the way
to college. I wonder how much of that was about

(14:58):
all Right, we like the we don't like the fact
that there's been some problems both concussion wise and health
wise elsewhere on the body, and maybe that's why they
were a little bit wary of maybe wanting to give
him the deal that he got. And I don't know
if that's really.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
I don't know, but your injuries, if you have an
injury history, that's always going to play a part, and
if a team wants to sign you to a big
deal or a long term extension or whatever it may be.

Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah, that's why it was injury only guarantees.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Injury only there you go, because.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Then it allows them the power to be able to
have a doctor say nope, I think you can go
back in and play, you know, I mean, that's that's
the reality of it.

Speaker 13 (15:37):
Jeez.

Speaker 9 (15:37):
Well, but a factor which he may get a doctor
that says he can't, which means that he's going to
get injury money.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
They would probably settle though in that case, Like I don't.
I think if they had conflicting opinions, they would most likely,
you know, have to settle somewhere. If if he chose
not to play anymore, because that's really what's a stake.

Speaker 6 (16:00):
If he chooses to come back and play, then it you.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Know, it's the same, dude.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, I would be shocked if he doesn't come back
and play.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
He's coming back. He's coming back.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, he's a warrior, man like that. That's the one
thing I'd say about all his career. Okay, but he's
a warrior, h I mean, you remember when he had
the hip injury, Like he came back too soon with
a tightrope surgery to play Burrow, Like, he literally was

(16:32):
limping around in that game.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
And I remember talking to Tom.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Ronaldi about this at the time because I believe he
might have been actually working on that game, but he
said he'd suffered a concussion as well. That's what a
lot of people don't understand, is that injury. Well, you know,
everyone focused on the hip injury, you know, because he
was coming back from the.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Tightrope, wasn't moving very well.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
He suffers the hip injury, They're like, no, no, no, remember
there's blood on his nose everything else. He had a
concussion that play too, so there was I mean, He's
been through a lot throughout the course of his career,
dating back to Alabama, and he always comes back.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
Man, he is a warrior.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
No one can dispute that.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, he's a.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Hell of a player.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Saint Louis High, you know, representing our friends listening on
Fox Sports nine ninety right now, you know, I just
you know, letting him know.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
You know, what time is it back on Halloween? I
think it?

Speaker 5 (17:24):
Is it two hours behind now or the one nineteen five?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Isn't it maybe five hour flight? Two hours?

Speaker 13 (17:29):
Maybe? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Three, I don't know, twelve night night or something. Whatever
it is, you are represented on this show, that's for sure.
That's two Pros and a couple of nights somewhere I'll
say that.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, definitely be sure to catch live editions of Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington,

Speaker 14 (17:54):
Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day
five to seven pm Eastern. Here's the thing, we never

get to.

Speaker 15 (18:03):
And that's why we have a brand new podcast called
over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in
our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for.

Speaker 14 (18:16):
Yeah, you blubber, list en me. Well, you know what
it's called over promise. You should be good at it
because you've been over promising women for years.

Speaker 15 (18:22):
Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we
want you to be a part of it. We're gonna
be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk
life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing
about something or we didn't have enough time, it will
continue on our after show called over Promised.

Speaker 14 (18:35):
Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make
sure you check out over Promised and also Uncensored, by
the way, so maybe we'll go at it even a
little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast
of all time.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
There you go, over promising.

Speaker 15 (18:48):
Remember you could see it on YouTube, but definitely join us.
Listen Over Promised with Coavino and Rich on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Just stop.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Stop all right. I don't get it.

Speaker 7 (19:05):
I've tried it.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
It was like a second wave of a hit.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
The super Dome the first time you're playing the dome, the.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Tero Dome, oh man, the astro so so. A team
that doesn't play in a dome is the Pittsburgh Steelers
and Apparently the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be playing
yet again with Justin Fields as their starting quarterback man.

(19:37):
This calf issue with Russell Wilson that seemed like a
small deal has sure lasted a long ass time. Here
was the head coach of the Steelers, Mike Tomlin, discussing
his decision on the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 8 (19:48):
As I sit here today, Russ is not scheduled to
be a full participant in practice, and so we're ready
in a plan that features Justin and his readiness. We'll
follow Russ throughout the week, and if his participation gets
to a level and participation and quality where we should
consider him, we'll we'll delve into that at that time.

(20:10):
And obviously when that happens is a component of the consideration.
But as I sit here today, he is not scheduled
to be a full participant tomorrow in practice, and so
we're ready in ourselves around Justin and we'll stay in
that mindset until something else happens. Hypotheticals is a waste
of our time.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
So pretty clear and concise from Mike Tomlin there. I mean,
at what point if they continue to win and he
just doesn't turn the ball over, does Mike Tomlin just say, listen,
this is our guy, Like we're.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Going to be a month into the year.

Speaker 9 (20:46):
He's pretty much saying that already, but he's really think
about it. Should leave it open because you named him
the starter, right right? I mean you should leave it open.
But at the end of the day, the man is
he's going with the guy that's available, and sometimes most
times oftentimes availability is the best ability, and Justin Fields

(21:10):
is available, and this team is finding what would be
considered to be a rhythm I would assume, I mean, Q,
you tell me, But I know Justin Fields isn't lighting
the world up with the way he's playing.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
But he's also in a lot of ways.

Speaker 9 (21:28):
Fitting into the scheme of how they approach playing their games.
I mean, he's not doing anything to hurt them. I
won't say he's doing something to make them much better.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
But which would you choose to do?

Speaker 3 (21:45):
And what are you getting when you get Russell Wilson
coming back?

Speaker 7 (21:48):
No idea?

Speaker 6 (21:49):
I mean that's the thing is you don't know what
you're going to get.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
At least you know where your team's at to and
Ozero through the first two games and what this offense
looks like and it grows from here. I mean one
of the reasons why I mean going back to last
year in Chicago. You know, Jonas and I we talked
about this a lot, like Justin Fields has grown as
a passer, Like you saw from year one to the

(22:13):
end of his time in Chicago, his growth Now, he
wasn't obviously where I think other teams needed him to
be at that point, or even Chicago to stick with
him as opposed to Caleb Williams, which I wonder how
many people are going to revisit that conversation if Caleb
Williams keeps playing this way. But the general point is,

(22:33):
you know he wasn't obviously to a point even through
the spring and summer with Pittsburgh for Mike Tomlin to
name him the starter. So as much as you want
to say we feel good about where we're at with
Justin Fields and he could be the guy moving forward,
you obviously still want to see more and you leave
that door open, as you said, LeVar, And in the
event that Russell's healthy comes back and you feel like

(22:55):
you've got a more veteran in that spot that can
help elevate the offense. The biggest issue I see is
I'm telling you that calf, whatever it is, however they're
deeming it, because they're calling it a calf, it could
be something a little bit worse. He looked terrible when
he tried to move in warm ups before week one.
Remember he was dressed. He was there as the emergency,

(23:17):
you know, third quarterback, so in the event that he
had to go and he could, he did not look
like he could move at all. I almost wonder if
there's a surgery or something that needs to take place
that he's pushing off as hard as possible and hoping
that six weeks from now, whatever the case is, this
thing heals up or it finds itself some way of improving.

(23:41):
I mean, it almost begs the question why you would
have just put him on IR and then you open
up the roster spot at least for the next four games.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
I mean, and you give Justin Fields an opportunity without
the whole conversation of Russell Wilson.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
He wasn't even active last week. I don't even know
if he dressed last week.

Speaker 9 (24:00):
Yeah, I just I found you because we there was
a quote like I know, like Russ getting the Petty
Award and all that stuff, and and you know, just
that's justin right, him having to address it, or him
even just understanding and knowing that presence is there. You
put him on ir for four weeks. You're giving this
man four weeks time to say, Look, it's not based

(24:23):
off of the health of Russell Wilson. This is purely
based upon my shoulders to do what it is that
I'm going to do within this four weeks. No questions asked.
They're not sitting there like week one, Well what about Russ?
What about Russ? We like what we're doing right now
because if Russell Wilson, if it goes the opposite direction

(24:43):
and Russ is healthy enough to come back and he
is able to play, he is doing practices up to
the coaching UH coach's standard, and and participation is of quality.
As coach coach Tomlin mentioned, that's still a conversation. Some
people do well with that, Some people do well with

(25:04):
that competition and knowing that that's what it is, some
people they don't do as well. And I just wonder
if you give if you give a guy like Justin
Fields that type of confidence that look you got you've
already had two weeks, but you get a four weeks
of no, no worries of talk of Russell Wilson other

(25:25):
than when he's coming back, but otherwise it's just you.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
It's on you.

Speaker 9 (25:30):
I wonder if that wouldn't be a horrible thing to do,
and seeing if that takes justin fields, maybe his confidence
level or comfort level to be confident to a whole
other level for the next four weeks, which could lead
to what more weeks after that, because if he's doing well,
you're not going to just pull him out, because you're

(25:51):
not going to just think about putting Russell Wilson in,
you know, because he's back off from the I AAR.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Because he's not doing anything to lose the job. Like
he's not turning the ball over, which was a problem
in Chicago, whether it be fumbles or interceptions and critical moments,
he's not like he's being careful of the football. The
defense is still the defense, and you know he sets
them up for a big matchup at home against against
the Bolts against the Chargers. By the way, you did
mention the petty game ball, So Mike Mike Tomlin was

(26:20):
asked about the petty game ball by the media that
Russell Wilson got after their win over the Broncos over
the weekend and had this to say.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
You know, none of your businesses, respectfully, there's certain things
that go on among teams that I don't talk about.
Whether it gets out or how it gets out is
unimportant to me, and I'm not overly guarded against it.
But it's just certain things as a leader that I
talked to the collective about that I have zero intentions
of sharing with the larger public because it's about our

(26:48):
collective and how we come together and how we appreciate
and support one another. And you know, I can't give
you all the ingredients of the hot dog. You might
not like it.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
So there we go.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
That's the that's the petty game ball.

Speaker 9 (27:04):
If he would have hit him with scrapple, then that
would have been real, real, real, deep, real dope. You
know what I mean a lot of people don't know
about scrapple. What's scrapple exactly? You don't know what scrapple is? Yeah, See,
that's what I'm game. That's what I'm saying. Man, he
hit them with hot dogs like you can relate to
hot dogs. I don't want you to be able to
relate to hot dogs. You know why, if it was ours,
I don't want you to relate to it. So it's

(27:24):
like if he said it's like pro GI's, but Prog's is.

Speaker 13 (27:27):
In his bad.

Speaker 9 (27:28):
But scrapple, you know, scrapple is a different game. You know,
you got to be into it. You gotta be from
there to know about what scrapple is?

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Can you look up scrapple? I'm more of an Ohio guy,
so I don't really breash his food.

Speaker 6 (27:41):
And how are you an Ohio guy?

Speaker 4 (27:42):
At what point ever in your life outside of one
visit to Columbus, Ohio?

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Are you in Ohio?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
You know, people don't even call me by my name anymore.
They just yell six to one four. Oh gosh, Like
I'm serious, Like that's a real thing. So I'm Ohio
as it gets you know, Tartan Fields, they're really in
there investigating scrapple. Yeah, what is scrapple?

Speaker 11 (28:02):
Also known as pon haas the traditional mush of fried
pork scraps and trimmings and one with cornmeal and wheat flour.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah, so basically having I feel like we've talked about
this before, Scrapple bab.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I don't remember this me neither. That's a real thing,
That's what I'm saying. Know how is it that I
don't freaking know. That's just what came out.

Speaker 10 (28:33):
But the uh, it looks like spam. The men of
Knights and Amish love this stuff.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Apparently the Amish like it.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
Yeah, it's Pennsylvania Dutch ponjas.

Speaker 7 (28:42):
Oh they know about good food.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
What do you ever have a Dutch apple pie?

Speaker 7 (28:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Man, you're missing one.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Man, Come on, cool, show me a working lamp inside
some Amish guy's house.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You right back, for.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
It's not racist. They don't electricity, they're racist.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Why are you judging?

Speaker 5 (29:03):
Going to judge just because we plug stuff in?

Speaker 9 (29:05):
Hey, they'd be having some fine horse carriages, man, I
mean you see one of their, like Bentley or or
like sports car carriages. Them joints be fire and the
horse connected to it.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Whoo.

Speaker 9 (29:18):
Yeah, I mean that's real horse power.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
We fake it.

Speaker 9 (29:23):
We say horsepower horses, you know, but it's really an engine,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (29:27):
That's right, real horse and have fun with that. Do
it the hard way. I'll wash my clothes in a machine.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
You know, I'm not gonna do you ever been to
Homage country Q you got you guys got homage countries
in in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
To right yeahs restaurants before you.

Speaker 9 (29:43):
I mean, I went to Shippensburg to to to do
the UH to do the state championships in track.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
That's I don't enough.

Speaker 9 (29:49):
They still do that in pH in Shippensburg, but I
went there. It's pretty interesting. Man, being an Amish country man,
you know, makes you it makes you really really think
about like what like could really be like in the
olden days, like literally the olden days, like before our
days of even knowing what the olden days.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
They would think your phone is a UFO. They have
no idea what's going on. They know, and they don't
want to know what's going on. You don't watch that
that stuff on TV. They know what's going on.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
We take something. They don't watch the NFL, they don't count.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
They just don't want to be a part of it.
Shouts out to y'all, man cool.

Speaker 10 (30:23):
You know who has a huge Mennonite population?

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Believe it was in Belize.

Speaker 10 (30:28):
Really lots of Mennonites out there.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Did they buy believe?

Speaker 7 (30:31):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Why did they actually like click on the link online,
keep buying a proper you can do that, but they
would ban My favorite thing ever is when the countries, yeah,
come buy, like, just come buy anything in our country.

Speaker 7 (30:43):
Buy us up.

Speaker 6 (30:43):
I looked into it, did you.

Speaker 13 (30:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (30:46):
I went and visited Belize, looked property.

Speaker 9 (30:48):
Yeah, what was it like? Beautiful place. I'm sure you
thought it was. Did you plan on coming back or
did you know? Were you ready to settle down?

Speaker 5 (30:59):
But you're telling the truth.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
They got like in the middle of the palm trees
on the front of a tractor with a banjo.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
Yeah, yeah, I mean all right, I mean.

Speaker 11 (31:09):
Them and the tapers. You know how you have a
deer crossing. They have taper crossing signs.

Speaker 9 (31:15):
Interesting. Interesting, and Belize. I'm sure I'm just stay away
from it. But I do have a great read that's
relevant to what I was thinking.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
That is a good point.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Hey, by the way, Eddie Garcia, this is the Garcia Bowl.
The Chargers your wife's team, and the Stairs your team.
You're gonna be out there, correct? I can't imagine you would.
They're going to the burg, Yes, yes, how about it?
So I'm talking to stand downtown down.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Yes, right across the Street from the where the Penguins
playing nice.

Speaker 7 (31:50):
Was it like?

Speaker 5 (31:50):
Is it Washington Boulevard Plaza?

Speaker 3 (31:53):
You stand at the plaza.

Speaker 16 (31:54):
It's the it's whatever the Charger's Tea Hotel is. So yeah,
that's why. And the you know where you're talking about
Chargers are staying out there. They say stay where the
Steelers stay.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
You know what I mean? Where do Steelers be? Well,
I don't think.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
Missus Garcia was making the travel plans.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
So you're gonna go to Fathead Saloon on Carson Street.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
There, I don't believe.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
So no check that.

Speaker 9 (32:18):
Sure, yeah, sure, you gotta go to Monticello's. I don't
think they have it downtown anymore. They used to have
one downtown. But if you go to Babcock Boulevard, that's
the original, well second original.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
You gotta get their pizza bro telling you and tell
him I sent you.

Speaker 9 (32:36):
I can do that Monticello's Monty Rights.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
By the way, if you see somebody on a horse
and carriage who's amis, just tell the uber driver to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Just tell them to rev the engine.

Speaker 9 (32:50):
More Polish. It's more Polish than Pittsburgh, Polish and Italian.

If you see him Atie just a little little revving
of the engine.

(34:53):
other Petros Good morning, how we feeling morning sir?

Speaker 7 (34:56):
Good morning everybody, wheel Unturn.

Speaker 17 (35:00):
Yeah, happy to see you guys. Even though I'm not
looking at you. We don't do the zoom thing here.

Speaker 7 (35:07):
We don't anyway. You know.

Speaker 17 (35:11):
I do it, but you know it's hard enough just
to push the button this early.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
I listened to you do your your telecast this past weekend.

Speaker 17 (35:20):
Oh god, that was the second biggest blowout I've ever called.
And I've called a lot of blowouts, right like, I've
called a lot of blowouts, and I could not believe
how big of a blowout that was.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
Can you explain to listeners petros like, that's that's when
you earn your paycheck as a color analyst.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
Is that fair to say?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (35:44):
But you out you?

Speaker 17 (35:45):
You know, when I do a TV game, it's a
lot different than radio, right, You're you're working in radio.
We all love Lee to Lap and everybody who well, yes,
but he forgot to text me last night, but yes.

(36:07):
But the truth is, like you guys know, if you
do radio, it's got to really.

Speaker 7 (36:13):
Kind of come from you.

Speaker 17 (36:15):
If you're not inspired to do the job and have
the ideas and do the daily show and figure out
what you want to talk about, the producer is not
going to help you that much you could have. You
can't really produce around bad radio talent, right, But in
TV you could produce around anything. You know, TV everything shorter,

(36:38):
twenty thirty seconds at a time, where in radio, you know,
those twenty thirty seconds are like ten minutes. So the
point is, if you're on TV, you can use the producer,
the director, the play by play guy. You don't have
to do it all yourself. You know, every once in
a while you can grab the bag and run with
it for a while because you have a lot to fill.

Speaker 7 (36:58):
But it is hard, there's no question.

Speaker 17 (37:01):
You know it's hard when you look and there's nine
minutes left in the third quarter and a team is
down sixty right so now, and so they're putting a
bunch of people in that you don't even have prepared
four through string guys.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
Yeah, and it's just like that.

Speaker 17 (37:15):
The biggest and that was Texas Tech for people that
don't know, because I know people don't follow me that closely,
Texas Tech North Texas Mean Green. The Mean Green was
undefeated and then they took it right in the ball.
And the sad part is the North Texas coach Eric
Morris is like a great slot receiver for Leech. You know,
he scored a touchdown in that Texas Crabtree game, scored

(37:39):
the winning touchdown in their big Nebraska game. He's like
a Texas Tech legend. Was an oc there with Mahomes
and they had three straight picks for three straight touchdowns
in the second quarter.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Hey, I mean that's a rough way.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Is that history making?

Speaker 17 (37:56):
Well, the biggest blowout I've ever seen was bat Linert's
USC team, produced by the now the now president of Fox.
One of our bosses, Brad Zeger, was the producer of
the game, and we it was Arkansas USC five, right

(38:19):
a liner Reggie Bush. That's the crazy thing that Nebraska
had McFadden, Peyton.

Speaker 7 (38:29):
Hillis Arkansas Arkansas? Excuse me?

Speaker 17 (38:32):
Yeah, yeah, Nebraska is not involved, that's all right. Arkansas
had Peyton hillis, they had McFadden, and they had Jones. Yeah,
so they had all three of those backs. Houston Nutt
was the Arkansas coach, and I remember my partner, but yeah,
my partner, Barry Thompson's nuts. We went all the way

(38:54):
out to West LA for some reason, which was where
Arkansas was staying for no good reason. And we sat
there and listened to Houston Nutt and we were inspired
by him, you know, talking about how he's not gonna
let USC.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
He was inspired by the nut.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Run all over them.

Speaker 17 (39:09):
You know, they're not gonna this is an SEC team
and we're not gonna let USC come in here. And
this and that and uh and I think Arkansas scored
it early. They scored like a seven. They've scored seven
points early. And we had a camera on their sideline
and they were like, you know, they're just an average
SEC team. This and that, and USC won that game.

(39:30):
Seventy to seven. Dang seventy to seven, and I was
reading my driver's license after that one. That was a
tough one. That was two thousand and five. I was
pretty young, guys.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
So that's what I'm saying, is like, so for Tom
Brady's first game he ever calls, it's like the Browns
get blown out by the Dallas Cowboys, And I'm thinking
to myself, Man, of all the games that he had
to start off his career on, it's a blowout where you,
as an analyst, you have to unload everything that you've
got to into the broadcast unloaded.

Speaker 17 (40:02):
And everybody's there to help you do that too, right,
Like the producer is going to say, like on your
way in, so yeah, everybody. So he had a lot
of support, right, so they'd be like, coming in, we're
going to do the history of the Browns, weird little elf,
and then we're going to talk about that for a
couple of plays while they're playing.

Speaker 7 (40:20):
Because it's a blowout.

Speaker 17 (40:21):
But at least in that regard, you know, it's a
pro football game. They're not going to put in that
many backups because there aren't that many. But you get
a football team of one hundred and twenty guys and
they got ger Jot Dolly Wall catching the ball in
the in the fourth quarter and you're just like, hell,
you know, I mean it's.

Speaker 7 (40:42):
It is uh.

Speaker 17 (40:44):
But you know that is the job. You know, you
get to sign the game and you call the game
no matter what you know. And you could call a
game that goes into quadruple overtime that everybody's talking about
that no one knew about before the game started, or
you could end up, you know, calling what you thought
was going to be a great game and it's a blowout.

Speaker 7 (41:00):
That's the job.

Speaker 17 (41:02):
But yeah, seventy to seven Arkansas USC two thousand and five,
what was.

Speaker 5 (41:06):
The best game you called?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
We don't be negative all the time here, like, what
is there a game that you look back on and go.

Speaker 17 (41:11):
Well that two thousand and five, you know, when USC
lost to Texas. That's a pretty legendary year in college football,
or at least in my mind. And it was a
legendary year for USC football. And we had a lot
of those games. Just the Pac twelve Game of the week,
you know, if they could do it, they'd pick se

(41:32):
And there wasn't as much East Coast presence for ESPN
and and places like that. So I did that fog
game in Oregon State, remember that one?

Speaker 1 (41:43):
Oh?

Speaker 17 (41:43):
Yeah, I did the game where Marshawn Lynch was driving around.
I don't remember what year that one.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Yeah, that was so for well.

Speaker 17 (41:53):
We thought it was Desmond Bishop right because they had
two number tens and it was an overtime game and
Dean Bishop caught the interception and ran it back and
then coming out of the same end zone wearing the
number was Marshawn Lynch driving the cart. So we screwed
up the call. Many years ago, we didn't know it

(42:15):
was Marshawn Lynch. Double numbers got us in that one
and a seventy five year old play by playman, but.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
I didn't know either though.

Speaker 17 (42:24):
So I did that game at Oklahoma State versus what
was it Central Michigan where Oklahoma State said they didn't
lose and Central Michigan said they both claimed victory with
a weird ending and like a pitch on a long

(42:45):
pass because the quarterback didn't have enough arm to make
it all the way to the end zone.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
That was a wild ending.

Speaker 17 (42:52):
Gosh, I forget what year that was, But yeah, I've
done a lot of great games and you kind of
remember those and you remember the blowouts, and hell I
did Cincinnati Houston last year and I like totally forgot
about it.

Speaker 7 (43:04):
I have it again this nice.

Speaker 17 (43:07):
So uh, that's a uh, that's a repeat from year
in and year out.

Speaker 7 (43:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (43:12):
You just get interested in your little world and and
try to handle it. But if you're Tom Brady, everybody's
listening and freaking out about every word, and you get spliced.
Like Jason Witten, I was glad everybody kind of eased
off him in week two.

Speaker 9 (43:25):
It seemed like, yeah, he speaking of Tom Brady and
yourself and your world.

Speaker 7 (43:32):
You're a very different world.

Speaker 9 (43:34):
You're a different worlds collide this weekend. What's your uh,
what's your thought on on them going to the Big
House as Big Ten participants?

Speaker 17 (43:45):
Well, I think everybody feels a lot differently about the
game than we did if we were talking about it
in August, right, I mean, everybody feels like us. He
has much more of a chance and I think USC's
gonna win the game. Oh, I mean, what does Michigan have.
They have Donovan Edwards, they have they have a Trump
trouble at quarterback. They just made a change to Alex

(44:05):
org which is the uh in. Well, that's the uh pause,
that's the RG three. You know, they're having an orgy
in Theianzole, right, big Panix Energy beat up that Beaver.

Speaker 7 (44:20):
Oh my god, I'm fired what happened?

Speaker 17 (44:24):
But yeah, they change quarterbacks and you don't change quarterbacks, Beaver.
You don't change quarterbacks in September because you're doing well.

Speaker 8 (44:34):
Uh.

Speaker 17 (44:34):
That guy Warren is a great story, Davis Warren, Yeah,
great story, but has not been performing. I think he
just threw three picks against Arkansas State, so they're in turmoil.

Speaker 7 (44:48):
USC.

Speaker 17 (44:49):
It is tackling if you can't just run through USC
at the second level and rip off big plays and
you got to earn it all the way down the field.
And they're at let and they can tackle like a
USC or a blue blood type of team is supposed
to be able to do that. I think they'll be
in the game, and if the moment's not too big
for Miller Moss and he's accurate, they'll be able to

(45:11):
run the ball. Lincoln Rowland's going to call plays now.
Michigan's probably got a little bit of a physical advantage,
but tactically and moving the ball wise, I mean, it's
got to be USC. They've been smooth all year, so
I'd be very interested to see. But I don't think
Michigan looks like the world beater that they were obviously

(45:31):
last year, or even the way we thought about him
before the season started.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
UCLA, they get their first taste of the Big Ten
this past weekend and get annihilated by Indiana. How bad
is this going to go for them this year? Because
it feels like two different conversations between them and USC.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Yeah, worse than Deshaun Foster's Big Ten media day.

Speaker 17 (45:54):
Well, one of their first plays. Offensively, they're trying to
separate themselves from that one of their dang.

Speaker 6 (46:02):
I get I would too.

Speaker 7 (46:05):
You know, they canceled an interview with me. No, no,
they did that.

Speaker 17 (46:10):
They had that moment right, and then they called our
show and said, you know, can you have him on?
Or I'm not sure maybe we called them, but we
booked him for a live show after that in Thousand
Oaks where there'd be like three four five hundred white people.
Oh yeah, when there's about you were there, Jonas? Yeah, yeah,

(46:31):
you saw the show.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
Sorry, I can't do your djy, But.

Speaker 17 (46:39):
So we invited to Sean Foster and we booked him
and I was like in my mind, like, wow, this
will be great.

Speaker 7 (46:46):
He'll come on our show.

Speaker 17 (46:48):
We'll have a laugh about Big ten media Day, we'll
talk about, you know, adjusting to talking to media. We'll
have a real kind of fun, honest conversation about it.
And they called the night before and they were like, hey,
you know, you can't mention the media day stuff. And
I was like, well, it doesn't work that way. You
either trust me with your coach or you don't. You know,

(47:10):
I interview coaches for a living. It's not it's not
my job or it's not in my best interest to
make enemies of everybody. We just do the job and
have a little fun and trust me, he'll be happy
with the interview. And then they called the next morning
and canceled it. You know, it just seems like they're
really insecure about everything going on over there. And I

(47:32):
heard they gave him a lot of resources. They gave
him a game ball. After he won his first game.
The ad ran down in the in the locker room
in Hawaii and gave him a game ball. And it's
just a very interesting situation. I really hope that they improve.
They had some real and I hate the word because
it always sounds like you're blaming the team and not

(47:54):
the coaches, and it's really everybody to blame when you
lose a football game. But they really had execution problems.
I'm one of their first plays of the game, the
bat comes over in a fake mesh and just knocks
the ball out of the quarterback's hand with his elbow,
you know, And so that kind of stuff was really

(48:15):
executionally off for them. It felt like Indiana. I don't
know how good Indiana is. I know that coach is
new Signetti and he wins, but yeah, google me, I win.

Speaker 7 (48:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (48:28):
But some of the people that watched that game top
to bottom said they don't think UCLA is gonna win
another game this season, and I was brutal. Yeah, the
schedule's hard. They're going to the Death Valley this week,
the one in LSU, the tougher one than Clemson these days.
But yeah, I don't I don't know what the endgame is.

(48:49):
I don't think And a lot of people are like,
that's it one and done for Deshaun. It's like, no,
that's not gonna happen unless he punches somebody like Jimmy Lake.
So I don't I don't know where they go from here,
but it is a bit of an overreaction after two
games to throw up.

Speaker 7 (49:04):
Your hands and say it's all over.

Speaker 17 (49:05):
I'd like to give to Sean the benefit of the
doubt and try to help this get get him to
help this team to improve before we start to start
digging his grave. But certainly not a good couple weeks
to start the season for UCLA. You know, speaking of
DJ's you know what, it reminded me of Jonas when
you were doing this stupid voice.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Yeah, what's that?

Speaker 7 (49:26):
This LeVar might not know this, but my LeVar might
know this. Brady's not there. Used to be a.

Speaker 17 (49:32):
Guy in La on Star ninety two point three, right,
which was ninety two the beat excuse me ninety two
said point three to beat the only stiashan not.

Speaker 7 (49:46):
Is true to the street.

Speaker 13 (49:48):
No.

Speaker 17 (49:49):
They had a guy named THEO, right, THEO, and he
did afternoons and he had a real deep, serious sexy
voice like Berry White right, like.

Speaker 13 (50:01):
Oh everybody, this is THEO. And that was Jodas right right.
I can't leave you alone, right, You've got me feed
you know that guy, right, So THEO was this deep
ass voice student everybody. The ladies love THEO, you know,
ninety two three, they'd be calling like.

Speaker 12 (50:21):
You know THEO, Well you played body rock and knocking
the booths H Town by H Town, you know, or
you know a shy ere five a fair.

Speaker 7 (50:36):
I will be Shu.

Speaker 17 (50:44):
By the way, ever fall.

Speaker 15 (50:50):
I will by the way, Petros.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
I think I know where you're going with this story.

Speaker 17 (50:58):
But so THEO, THEO had the Black community absolutely riveted.

Speaker 7 (51:05):
I mean, THEO was the man.

Speaker 17 (51:08):
And then it came out LEO was gonna not know
no that THEO was going to do an appearance on
a very popular sitcom and this brings the LA Radio
market to the national world. A popular syndicated sitcom starring
a girl with her eyes so far apart named Brandy
ray J's sister. The name of the show was Moesha

(51:33):
Mo to the and THEO was going to make an appearance.
THEO turned out to be a five foot seven Korean.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Manang THEO Misahara.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Brandy and THEO and I remember him.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
I don't know problem.

Speaker 17 (51:55):
I don't believe he lasted another month in LA Radio.
I think THEO, THEO ended up being jettison to a
more friendly market.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
He told me the black community had an issue with that.

Speaker 17 (52:07):
I'm not saying they did, but I just remember like existing.
But I just remember the dudes in the stretch lights
being like fields Korean, we've been hoodwinked.

Speaker 7 (52:17):
Yeah, sweeping bad bos.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
We're expecting Mookie, we got show.

Speaker 6 (52:23):
Hey what happened every night? All dang?

Speaker 17 (52:27):
Every night everybody was touching their own boobs.

Speaker 7 (52:32):
At the rhythm. Tell you maybe let me hear your saying.

Speaker 17 (52:35):
Maybe everybody loved THEO. And then he showed up on
Brandy and he was.

Speaker 7 (52:42):
Like, hey, oh by from Korea.

Speaker 3 (52:46):
That is crazy.

Speaker 9 (52:47):
Well I'll tell you what speaking of Yeah, yeah, I
was looking at it.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
I was looking at it, you know, just looking.

Speaker 18 (52:54):
Show him a picture of the al knew who he was.
I remember him from the show. I remember to do
from the show. I wasn't a big Moesia watcher, but
I do remember this.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
That's unfortunate. They should have just kept that.

Speaker 7 (53:08):
And speaking of.

Speaker 17 (53:10):
Urban nineties and eighties sitcoms, Uh, Family Matters is a
little bit like What's going on in Carolina, except in reverse.
That guy that Bryce Young when he was at Modern
day here in Alabama, he was like Stefan and now
that he's with Carolina morphed.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
By the way, because step Phone was definitely cool.

Speaker 5 (53:34):
Hey, what, Pete, doesn't that bum you out?

Speaker 2 (53:36):
You've spoken highly of of Bryce Young in the past,
kind of bums you out to see how that's turned
in Carolina.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
That's a that's a rough spot.

Speaker 7 (53:44):
To be in.

Speaker 17 (53:45):
Yeah, I mean, the interesting thing is and and look,
if if picking quarterbacks was easy, it'd be a lot easier.
But we had those three guys in La Djamalle, who
is really struggling my more than Bryce, right, and he
didn't really get paid as much as Bryce. He got
Bryce who was beaten I think by DJ in a

(54:08):
really big championship game. And then you had CJ.

Speaker 7 (54:11):
Stroud, who none of us knew way out there.

Speaker 17 (54:14):
In San burdu Not that none of us knew him,
but he certainly wasn't thought of in the same light
as those other two guys. And it's just very interesting
the circumstance of football. You look at five years later,
you know DJ's on the brink of losing his job.
Bryce Young just lost his job, and CJ. Stroud from

(54:34):
San Bernardino is the number one guy, and Jayden Daniels
is a trip to I mean he in Arizona State.
He could barely throw the ball downfield or didn't, and
they had that great running back that's at Tampa Bay
two in Arizona State on those teams with herm and
they weren't good. And the guy turns around, goes to LSU,

(54:54):
wins a heisman and gets picked real high.

Speaker 7 (54:57):
So all those guys.

Speaker 17 (54:58):
Were here in La, you know. And it's interesting to
see how it plays out because Djula used to come
on our show all the time. He was the anointed one,
and he's probably ended up the worst of the bunch.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Yeah, well, Pee, we appreciate it. Always a fun ride
at the old p on X, and we'll do it
again next week
