car that were doing it. What I'll say is what
it sounded like, Oh you thought we were done.

I did see a tweet yesterday with League his new car.
There are some excitement from some of the homeless community there. Yeah,
just saying they were talking about, what we have another
super kitchen in the back of the car.

ass car. Yeah, it almost has like a a stronger
Miada look, you know, like that Mazda Miata kind of
has that oh kind of look maza Z. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Oh my gosh, you ripped off your grandpa.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
I sure did.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
I am looking at I'm looking at them right now,
the ones that are on the market. Sure, there's not
one that's even like the closest one fifty four thousand
miles on it and it's for thirteen.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
You ripped off your Your grandfather got a sweet deal.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Yeah, oh yeah, why do you think I you know,
I'm a very patient man. That's why it took me
so he.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Waited him out. You're gonna wait your granddaddy. Yeah, listen,
that is cold blood.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Hey you were you would take this cash now or
I'm taking the car in about three weeks, the.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Closest thing to Lead's vehicle, all right, or I guess
the value has three times the mileage on it.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
M hmm, yeah, oh wait, forty five thousand.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well done for your grandfather. Man, I hope I never
made it that. If I do have to ut you
big time.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Allen's doing great.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
All I'm gonna say is is, if that's the model
and the look of the car that your grandmam was driving,
maybe the stuff that Q was saying yesterday might be true.
You're on my team now. That joint is a little
it's like a little provocative, it's a little streamline. It's
it's it's got a little attitude to it. I'm just

(04:50):
saying it just didn't look like it would be a
grandmam vehicle, That's all. I'm like, you can't handle this
a little bit, you know, yeah, like almost like like
almost like lev All kind of.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
We Oh no, that seemed like a big, big cat
right there. Baby, it was this morning is just it's
a full is it a full moon? I don't know.
Bad This is the story I wanted to talk boogers.
In the first segment, we're talking, we're talking homeless prostitutes
and Lee's falling calm, falling grandmam and and how her

(05:33):
car looks and what happened in there is I don't
know where we're at right now, man, Yeah, am I impurgatory? Yeah,
it's a little bit of a weird time, A weird time, man.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I mean, you know, you could talk about just that
dynamite debut by Brownie James. What do you get like, uh,
you know, fourteen seconds and with history.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, hit, a hit, a rebound. It was history. Nice.
So now what kind of that feel?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Does that feel the same as Ken and Senor?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
No? No, I did not, but they kind of do
the answer. But didn't they go back to back?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
I almost thought that Ken, Griffy Junior and Senior hit
back to back home runs.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
I think they did. There was a story I know
there that did happen? It did happen. Oh, these guys
both should be here, you know. Yeah, Oh, like the
son is going to be a great one, Like he's
going to be actually better than his dad. You know. Yeah,
that's not the case here, Yeah that is not the case.

(06:33):
But you know what some people think? Who was that
Kendrick Perkins? Who was it that s it that Brownie
James is comparable to Michael Jordan's. He said, y'all could
be mad all y'all want, but this is like comparable
to what's what that bum out in the park who
said that, Like Kendrick Perkins said it in the parking lot. No,

(06:57):
it wasn't the parking lot. Uh attended either, you know
Michael Jordan's and he said he's comparable to Michael Jordan's.
While I did not listen to or read it because
it was so infuriating when I when I saw it,
I tried to search for the comment you made. I
literally got Ai.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
For Google to to jump in here, and it says, no,
Brownie James is not common to Michael Jordan in terms
of their basketballs.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's why we needed Ai here. Yeah, I never knew.
I really cared for AI as much on Google Search,
I welcome in.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
That is well, I can't even figure out who said it,
because AI will not have any.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I won't have anything. This blasphemy.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
All right, you, you as a human being, are too stupid.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I'm AI.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
You cannot type a search in like this because no
one should be saying this is basically what AI saying.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Stupid questions, just stupid people. Well, that is true, all right,
let me see, let me see if I could find
it while you're looking for that.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Do you want to hear Lebron talk about playing with
the sun last night or basketball with the sun?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Pause? Here he was afterwards? What will you remember most
about Tonight's.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
He's going up to that scort, staying with my dad,
checking in for the first time.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
That's a crazy moment. Will never forget.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Yeah, it's family. It's always been family over everything. And
you know, for me, I lost a lot of time
because of his league, committing to this league, being on
the road at times, missing a lot of his things,
brightest things, service things. So to be able to have
this moment where I'm working still and I'm gonna work
alongside my son, it's one of the greatest gifts I've

(08:39):
ever got from the man above, and I'm gonna take
full advantage of it.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I get it. As a dad, I get it.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
I understand that like quality time and all that. I
just wonder, like, now, what, Like he played a couple
of minutes, they got out of the way, JJ record,
JJ Redick already looks like he's aged fifteen years being
the head coach of the Lakers and they're not even
like two games into the regular season. But like, yeah,
and I just I just wonder, now what, like, what

(09:06):
is what's the plan does he is?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I think they keep hanging out and they keep doing
this whole father son basketball thing.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I think that's what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Jump, Okay, so is he just gonna play like a
minute and a half each game? Hope he scores and
then we keep setting history around.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
He's gonna come in and give you the best fourteen
seconds of his life every single game.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Bronnie James is the modern day Michael Jordan. He's probably
even better skill wise. But yeah, I ain't ready for
that conversation yet. Quote Kendrick Perkins, he could have been
serious with that. Yeah, that's a joke, because he got
to be a joke. All right, he said, I mean,
where is that? Where is that?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Even I'm not even gonna I'm not even to waste
time on that. It's so ridiculous. There's no point of
even addressing it.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
There's no way that's real, Like there's that's got to
be a burner account. That's got to be like, there's
no way that's if he said that somebody should take
away his championship. Bring from eight, like you get this
back when you make.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Some quote form right there? I mean, I don't know,
you know, oh Jesus Christ here, what are we doing?
Come on?

Speaker 7 (10:13):
Man?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Like enough I saw it. I thought it was a
joke too when I saw it. But then there's like, wait,
like did I miss something? You know? It was like
kind of like one of those quotes where it's like
should should I be trying to rethink how I look.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
At this, you know what I mean? Like it's like shock,
it shocks me. It's almost as bad as eating boogers.
I mean almost, And he's saying he didn't eat the boogers.
Now and now the Jonas there's your transition, WHI which.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
One is more egregious? Him saying he was inoculated or
or that he didn't eat boogers. He didn't pick them,
and he didn't put them in his mouth. Now you're
referring to I'm joking. Apparently that's a word that was
just being funny.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
There was a clip on Sunday Night Football.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
This morning. I might have used a different words. Yeah,
it would have got dope.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
Uh So, apparently there was I didn't even see it
at the time, that Rogers was standing on the sideline
with a towel around his neck and what looked to
be him kind of rubbing his nose and then putting
it towards his mouth.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I dug. It was like it was like it was
like a fresh dig. So let's break this down.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
If you guys would would just bear with me for
a moment, right, There's obviously there's a few steps to
picking a burger and eating it. The first is the pick.
I don't think anyone, no one is going to debate
that he was picking. Okay, we saw the pick, We
saw the penetration into the nose, the nose canal, we
saw even maybe a little bit of a booker. All right,

(11:53):
we know the pick was there. The next question becomes,
he went straight to his mouth? But did traveled to
the mouth.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
It was straight romper room time, it looked like.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
And the third pieces is there a movement of the
jaw to make it look like he's eating it. So
the third piece, I think it was there. There was
movement of the jaw moving, so it looked like there
was some sort of movement and eating there.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I'm not convinced completely.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
That the booger made its way into his mouth, but
I think two of the three steps are there, And
because the jaw movement was there afterwards, it's leading me
to believe that the call stands and he was indeed
eating a book.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Okay, so you go back to the call in the field, I.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Think I can't overturn that based on the video evidence
that I've gotten.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
There was a booger eating on live.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Telet and this is the NFL, So we can't reofficiate it.
We can't re reofficiate the play.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Challenge that you can with the call of the field
still as the president here, and you got to have
information that makes it, you know, undeniable that he did
not eat that booker.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
If you're going to challenge that he didn't need it
was there?

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Was there legitimate penetration. I'm not talking about this not
in the parking lot. Was there a legitimate penetration.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
It might be taking place right now.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
You don't know, but yes, I don't because you guys
make it seem like he was like one knuckle or
two knuckles deep in his nose.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I didn't know. He wasn't. It wasn't an egregious dig wasn't. Yeah,
it was like you're right, he swept. It was a sweep.
He street swept the nose. Okay, he didn't dig. It
was like it was like kind of like you know,
like if you was using like if you saw like
the movie Blow, you know, and and it's like you

(13:44):
you know how you like take your fingers across the
nose of like clean your nose off. Yeah, yeah, like
that in that situation where you like take your fingers
across your nose. That's what he did. He didn't go
up in like he went and like like took the
one thing and was like digging and digging and digging.
It wasn't like that.

Speaker 8 (14:03):
It was like more but like you know, like it
was the line of the Major League where Bob Yeker's
like he also leads a league in noshirs when he
blows his nose, it looks like a party favor Like
I'm just I look at it.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
I go I couldn't quite gather whether he went to
the mouth. He did respond to it, and I got
to give full credit to aj Hawk here, who probably
had the line of this whole thing in discussing it
with Pat McAfee. Here was Roger's response to the viral video.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
I've actually never eaten my boogers. That's one thing I'm
very proud of. That was your first time on one time,
I honestly haven't. It's a tough look to try and
defend because that video it's a little incriminating. I can
tell you that there needs to be a side view
that shows that there wasn't a book that actually went
in the mouth. You know, that was your first time

(14:53):
on my TV. It looks like and not only it
looks like he put a booger in. Look like it
was a big booger, Like like it was like a
little like a like a P shaped booger. It looks
like you could see the booger on camera.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Me.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
It's it's.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I mean, okay, let's just let's just go ahead and
really open this thing up, all right. I mean there
are some weird things that people do that we do.
I mean, have you guys ever had a cast before
or have like a splint on?

Speaker 2 (15:25):
We have to wear it all the time.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
But sometimes, like I'm fascinating with sometimes with how bad
it smells.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Like have you ever have you ever had like a
cast on or.

Speaker 9 (15:34):
A splint or something has that weird smell and You're like, God,
what does a smell like that? But I'm so fascinated
how my body can create this odor that I can't
stop like smelling it. It's just it's so funky, it's
so weird, and you have to live with it until
you get that thing off.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Right. This is kind of in that realm of like
when you like scratch your ear and then you smell
your finger. You ever do that? No, You've never scratched
your ear and then like smell the air smell? Yeah,
Like like what does it smell like? Like you scratch
your ear? You're like, you know, that's like what weird
people do though, And I've done it quite a few times,

(16:14):
Like if my air is itching, I'll scratch my ear,
like inside my ear and if there's something that ends
up on my ear I smell it. It's weird. I mean,
it's just maybe it's a weird confession, but that it has happened,
that's more tolerable. Then I don't eat it, though, I'll
tell you that. In fact, I always grosses you out

(16:34):
a little bit, you know, but I do it. Okay,
the earthing's new to me, But we'll throw that into
the list of Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'll run
it in there. I really can't think of much else.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
The murger is like the next thing that like, maybe
he was so curious as to in that moment, with
everything going on in his professional life in the game
of football, he just found himself reverting back to what
we probably all did as a child, where you're curious
what that thing tastes.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Like the cast smell is I think probably the winter,
Like the cast smell is a really weird thing.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's so weird, but everyone does it.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
They're away like oh my gosh, like look how bad
that smells, but smell it?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh yeah, yeah. And the weird thing is like other
people will be like curious too, and they're like, yeah, well,
what does it smell like? That's gross. Yeah, I've never
smelled anybody else's case. Okay, can we all vote that? Definitely?
All felt my cast? Can we get everyone on the
show to vote?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
All right, I'm gonna go one by one the var Yes,
did he or did he not pick his nose and.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Eat the booger? He picked his nose, he cleaned the nose,
and then his fingers went immediately to the mouth. Now,
I'm gonna take that as yes. If it looks like
a duck and it quacked like a duck, and it
walks like a duck, it's a duck. Okay, I gotta go.

(17:57):
I gotta go with yes. That's one. Jonas, did he
pick a booger? Need it? I'm gonna say no, Wow,
Okay Lee Lee? Did he pick his nose? And he did?

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Definitely picked his nose?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Okay, Okay, that's all you got. This is in totality,
We're not breaking this.

Speaker 10 (18:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think he ate it. I do believe.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yes, he ate his bones on the sideline.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
Plural boy, it was a little snack. It's unanimous, with
the exception of one. I'm also gonna say the eye
of the skuy don't lie. And it looks like.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
He picked his nose native, So there we go. All
I'm gonna say is, for one moment, I really tried
to convince myself that he was having a conversation with
the jit next to him and he was trying to
say something that he didn't want people to read his
lips about what he said. But then I kept looking
at it. There the dialogue, like the person next to

(19:04):
him said something to him. He's digging in his nose
and does what he does and moves his mouth as
if he's saying something, but never made eye contact with
the guy. And then there was never another word spoken
after that.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
I will say this, he doesn't really get a full
booger on that finger. It's kind of like a scrape, like.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I told, just like a sweet he swept it, and
he swept it. But that's you. He's cleaning his nose.
He's he's clear. We're not going to debate the fact
that the man is clearly cleaning his nose.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
He's got a bigger nose too, so it's not like
he needs to take shove it up in there. He
can sweep. He can sweep and still get it in there.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
You know. Also, I just want to say professional booger eaters.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
They kind of know how to line it up before.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Okay, okay, Lorena, what did you just say?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Is there actually a profession out there once you leave
your friends in Kusbay out of this?

Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, the more I look at it, he one
hundred percent dug got the booger. I just played it
off and then threw the booger in the mouth and
kept the girl straight down. You can't you can't say
that's not what that was, because here's how I destroyed this.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
When you were a first ballot Hall of Famer and
you've made as much money as he has, just say,
you ate the book booger, So just you ate.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
The booger, and it made me great, relied.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I bet it was like an expensive booger too. I mean,
think about all that snotting stuff that rolls up into
a booger that is probably expensive for whatever.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
His diet is. This is by far the most disgusting
first segment of radio or media entertainment that I have
ever done in my entire life. Yeah, that's all I'm
gonna say it.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
And it all came via the jetsysfunction dysfunction.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Man, man, I think about that. It's that bad wrap
wrap it up is right, Like that's fraud. There you go,
there you go.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar Arrington and
Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
So we are going to get to some other news
and not from around the NFL, but we do have
some breaking news right now with Eddie.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Garcia breaking news from Fox Sports.

Speaker 11 (21:21):
Well, guys, we know that the Kansaity Chiefs have had
their issues at the wide receiver position, still though undefeated
on the season, but looks like they're about to upgrade
with a trade. Adam Schefter reporting that DeAndre Hopkins, former
Pro bowler with the Texans now with the Tennessee Titans,
is apparently going to be on the move and heading
to the Kansaity Chiefs. Don't know what the details as

(21:43):
far as what Kansaity's given up. I haven't seen that,
but again, DeAndre Hopkins apparently heading from the Titans to
the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Oh. I like this move for them? Wow, I like
this move.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
You talk about going from a cardboard box to a
mansion for him.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, good for him.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Think about it like he's thirty two years old. He
clearly doesn't have like that first step that top end
speed anymore.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
But they don't need that.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
They've got worthy you know Brown eventually, you know, play
his role as impact. They've got some of their spots
with speed. He was being grossly underutilized in Tennessee only
what fifteen receptions I think on the season through six
games with like three starts. So this will be a
good pickup for them to have more of that veteran

(22:29):
reliable receiver outside of Kelsey, someone else to help out
kind of share that burden.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
If he can bring just a little bit of that
d hot magic broh, they become that much more dangerous
and you'd have to assume that that's what they're feeling
in Kansas City, you know obviously, if he can bring
just that extra element to that that you know, he.

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Man.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I just I'm curious if he has enough left though,
Like does he have enough gas left? You think that
you think it's empty.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
It might be on the blink, it's on e You're
you're like riding where it like remember when it was
at Digital and You're like, it's on E but I've
got like at least another thirty miles.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yeah, that's kind of what I mean. Remember when oh yeah,
you ride is like that.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Sorry if everyone upraded their ride, but you Jonas. You
know what, how about this queen, pause for a second.
Can we get Jonas a car deal? I mean Petros
has one. Let's get you a car deal. You have
to do a read for it. You'll get a free
car out of it. Doesn't have to be Toyo. It
could be Ford, could be one of the many different,

(23:48):
you know, sponsors that we have access to.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Through my heart, I'm just saying, I'm throwing it out there.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Approaching three hundred and seventy thousand miles, baby, I.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Mean, I feel like you drive that truck so you
could be able to brag about how old it is. No,
I just I'm going to go out and I'm going
to vandalize that truck so that you have to get
rid of it. Well, you don't have to do much.
I'll just blow on it and probably will break down.
Come on. So I was coming out to leave, I
was coming out to go home after the show the

(24:18):
other day, and Jonas was like walking frantically back from
his car. I thought it was dead. I thought it
was dead. I looked at the truck. I was like,
are you okay? Like is it good? Turns out he
only had to go to the restroom, but I did
it was something else was dead inside of them. Yeah. I
thought it was the truck that was He just had

(24:40):
to go back to the restaurant. Yeah, changed his mind.
Got to be religious with the oil changes. Want that
car to last. That's the trick. That's no, that's the trick.
I mean, honestly though, why are you so loyal to
that truck? Though? Like, what's your what's your thing?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Like?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well about it? You didn't you say you that was
where you took your dead dog to the vet or
something the last time.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, I've taken him in that car many times. Yeah,
any times.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
I thought that was what you were holding onto.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
No, the the pet Hurst came out and took him away.
After I thought, you told me you took the dog
to the vet. But all right, no, the vet. When
it was time to put him down, they came.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
To the house.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Was a house called Okay, so I got that wrong,
I was. I mean, I mean, if you want to
go through any other memories of my.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
I mean, you're still hanging onto it from twelve twelve
years ago, but I mean, who's counting?

Speaker 4 (25:30):
So like, why do you keep saying it's twelve years ago?
It was fourteen, all right, so it was twenty ten. Yeah,
so that's like a nice level with this. How long
have you had the truck? Like since you were in
high school? Two thousand and six?

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Are you? I was still in the league, bro, Yeah,
that was my last year in the league. Yeah, I
was in college. Think about that.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
I was just like a college kid, you know, I'm
going to entire life in front of me, And now
I'm like four kids into it married.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
It's a whole different deal.

Speaker 7 (25:59):
Now.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
My autograph on there June two thousand and six, drove
off the Toyota a lot in Seamy Valley, California, And
you were happy that.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
You should sign that thing and put a g F
Y on that tang for a good for you?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
What about it? What about an E A D? What
about go yourself?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
You can you can figure out what a D means
a good old good for you?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, Tang Tang. This show has been very very Uh.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
I don't know a congratulations to DeAndre Hopkins. He is
off and running in with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
I they're already undefeated. It's like, I know this is
going to help out their passing game, but I don't know.
I mean, we'll see what they has been reported, what
they're giving up for him.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I'm seeing a conditional fourth round pick. But I mean
it's desperate, right, You're in desperate times right now. Yeah,
they're desperate though, Unde Yeah right, it's crazy. I mean
Juju just went down. Rice is or what was it,
roche Rashi Rishiri. He's out? Yeah? Who else do they have?

(27:15):
The young kid? Yeah, we're worthy. Yeah, he's a Watson kid. Yeah.
I mean, and they still have Kelsey. I mean they
must feel like they're shorthanded though, right, I mean, to
make this type of move, they must feel short handed.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Is is mith Schuster gonna be out though he's not
like an ir or anything.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
He's just banged out. I don't know. I me they
still have Miko Hardman and Sky Moore.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
The problem is they've got a bunch of like small
wide receiver, small fast guys, like that's what all those
guys are. You know, you need like a different body
to Rouyd Brown has been out the entire time. I know,
hopefully get him back. I've been waiting for that. That's
been the most disappointing thing about this offense. It's not
the fact that the passing game and and all that
hasn't been the same. It's the fact that they don't

(28:02):
have all of the speed that they have. Like my
dream is to see them come out in ten personnel
with four wide receivers and it's Xavier Worthy, it's Hollywood Brown,
it's Miko Hardman and Skymore and everyone's just like, oh God,
Like all these dudes can absolutely fly. And you have
Mahomes back there and just let him figure out a

(28:24):
way of just everyone playing soft cushions, just bing bing
bing bing bing boom.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
Like down the field. I'd love that. Yeah, it's gotta
be amazing, good move. It's not gonna happen though, Well
you just think they're gonna play old boy.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Now, They'll just do what they do. You know, they'll
just Kelsey will be out there and Hopkins will be
out there, and you know, they'll just make their typical
crazy play that happens when Mahomes scrambles around, someone gets
open you know, Kelsey catches the ball that he pitches
it to someone.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Else out of nowhere. God, he's got to be so
relieved to get the hell out of Tennessee. Though. Oh
yeah National is great.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Well, I mean, yeah, National's great. I mean, you know,
a little too great for some people. You know, if
you're Jake Calller and you go day drinking.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
But oh, come on, man, come on.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Jonah trying to judge, just saying, you know, you got
to have somebody throw your keys to somebody else next
time and let that.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Or Uber or if you're if you're Jonas, just leave
your truck there because no one wants to.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Or hey, nobody go and mess with it, or offer.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Who you were more than two thousand dollars cash to
try and get out of it.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Grand I actually didn't read the entire stories that woul happened.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
He apparently got out, he was trying to flee the scene,
and you know, they they probably were taking a video
of his license plate. And then he said, okay, well
you offered him two grand. At that point they had
already called the cops. The cops came, and yeah, they
went from there.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
I will not reveal any names, but We did have
a player one time, very similar situation.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
I've been drinking. He left the bar.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
He was with another girl at the time, and he
backed into another car, left a scene, but everyone knew
where he stayed. He had a very unique living situation,
like as far as where he chose to live for
whatever reason. And I think his girlfriend was flying in
and so she landed, built him out of jail, broke

(30:23):
up with him, and flew right back out.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, that was a that was an interesting one. Shouldn't laugh, No, no,
it's not.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
But like unfortunately he had like the girl that he
was with, he had like just met. So given the
fact that he was like drinking the accident and then
flees the scene of it, it wasn't like she was
holds any loyalty, so she like ratted him out.

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Oh no, yeah, well listen, you know it happens. Happened sometimes.
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here
on Fox Sports Radio. So that is the Kansas City Chiefs.
They are on one end of the spectrum in the
NFL undefeated. Now they add DeAndre Hopkins like that, that
is a team that is on the rise and ascending
at this point and then you've got other teams in

(31:08):
the NFL that are just kind of whatever, and one
of those teams just kind of a lot going on there, like, yeah, Dallas,
your Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, let's go, let's talk about let's go.
Fresh off the bye week. You said they're on the
spectrum at the end of the spectrum. Yeah, fresh off

(31:31):
not not good one fresh off the bye week, a
bye week that saw you know, Mike McCarthy get called out. That'saw,
guys not getting though. Yeah, I mean Jerry Jones basically
went on local radio and ripped in and you know,
threatened jobs. He was back on local radio with Sean
and Rjay on the Fan in Dallas yesterday, and one

(31:54):
of the things that he was asked about was, you know,
Derek Henry looks pretty good. You guys could have used
some help at running back. He lives in the Dallas area.
He was interested, you know, what are your thoughts on
his performance thus far?

Speaker 2 (32:06):
In Baltimore. Here was the Cowboys.

Speaker 7 (32:08):
Owner, Derrick Henry is having a career year. I don't
know if he'd be having that career year in our situation.
And that's really something you really do have to look
at because if he had not had as many carriers
as our running backs have had, then he certainly probably
wouldn't have attained the level of impact he's having. And

(32:30):
then he's a real good compliment to the type of
offense they run. We don't run that type offense at all.
Derrick Henry didn't fit because principally of managing the cap,
of managing the cap and anticipation of the players that
we were going to sign weeks later or anticipation of
the players we're going to be signing in the future.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
So he got to So you're basically saying your offense stinks?
Does that what you're saying like that, is that a
guilty admission that you just we don't have the type
of offense where think about this where Derek Henry, right,
we don't have the type offense where Derek Henry would
have the type of success. Is that a shot at.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Dak Henry's contract was two years, sixteen million. I mean,
it's not like he got you know, Saquon Barkley money.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Like it feels like when they're talking about going all in.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Before the year, they've got twenty three and a half
million in cap space, Like what's he talking about. They
could have easily made this move work. I mean, I've
talked about this before. Cash over cap, cash over cap.
When you pay out bonuses and signing bonuses, you can

(33:47):
divert some of that off of the cap and in
lieu of the players getting the money up front.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Now, owners don't want to do that usually for two reasons.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Hey, it's cash out of their pocket right away, and
it also sets the presence when you give out big
bonuses that you know, hey, the guy's already paid, he's
already comfortable, Like is it gonna be as hungry as
is he going to play the same way? You know,
unless you make him earn it. So I just I
don't understand the narrative where you do have the cap space.
You did have the cap space, you could have made

(34:16):
a work, but you chose not to Just be honest
about it, like you are where you are because of
the decisions that you made, Jerry, that's the truth of it.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
I just thought when they're talking about we were all
in for this year, like that meant you were legitimately
all in, and said it looks like no, we're all
in to find out whether or not this team can
win as constructed currently.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I don't care what your offensive playbook reads and what
it looks like. If you have professional ballplayers that are
on your offensive line, and that center can snap the ball,
and that quarterback can receive the ball like get the ball,
hold the ball, handle the ball, and can hand it

(34:59):
off to Derrick Henry, then Derek Henry fits your offense. Like,
how do you say, I don't know that Derrick Henry
would have the type of impact or success that he's having,
you know here then what he is having there. He
had impact and success in every market he's played in.

(35:20):
I just I think that that is a like, that's
a slow drip right there, Like you're you are now
detaching yourself from the person that is calling the plays
for your team, which is who since who is that?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Since Derrick Henry took over as full time starter with
Tennessee back in twenty eighteen, his lowest output year while
he was with the Titans was twenty twenty one. He
only had nine hundred and thirty seven yards rush. Didn't
he get hurt that year? In eight games?

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Right? Right? He's literally produces every single year every year,
and it doesn't sound like sound reasoning. It sounds like, listen,
we're going to see what happens this year with this team,
this coach, and well, if it doesn't go well, we're
moving on. Yeah. Did you listen to how he talked
about scheme too?

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Oh, he doesn't fit in like our scheme and our capitol. Dude,
you find a way of putting in scheme that works
for Derrick Henry when you have that type of running
back or player. We talk about that a lot with quarterbacks,
putting in concepts they're more comfortable with or they ran
in college, and we can't talk about that with a
running back, Like can't we put in some run plays

(36:37):
that you feel comfortable? Like he's a running back, he
can adapt and adjust to certain things, but can't you
put in plays that he feels comfortable with. It's not complicated,
I think, honestly, you know, one of the toughest things
about it is just figuring out like why, you know,
why did you choose not to? Is it because they
have this attachment to Zeke and they wanted him to

(36:57):
be back in Dallas. They thought that would be good
for their organism as good for the locker room.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
I mean, obviously it's gonna be cheaper, but I look
at that and go, you can adapt the scheme to
what Derrick Henry does well, which will benefit you. So
I don't say it's not like a scheme fit because
you had the cap space and you build the scheme
around players, you know, not players around the scheme.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
What are they spending on the running back position with
all three guys that they currently have on the roster
right now, and could you have one ric O'doubdell Zeke
and Douce Vaughan, Like what what would you guess the
as far as what they're.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Eating up in the cap? I mean, yeah, would it
equals sixteen million?

Speaker 4 (37:45):
I don't think it equals sixteen million. It's two years
sixteen million. That's the deal that Derrick Henry got.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
That's what I'm saying. So it's eight million, you're saying
eight million a year. Oh my god, you don't even
want to know what is. You don't even want to
know whore it's more. No, that's not let.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
Four point two million cap and by the way, by
the way, by the way, that is tied for thirty
first for the position for average annual value ranks, so
they're literally near the bottom end of the league, and
the in the cap space they're devoted.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
To the way he got accused of is that he
doesn't spend any money on any other positions except well, well,
I mean he spends it on defensive players like one
here and there.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Yeah, I mean that the quarterback they spent a lot on.
You know that the d line used to be the case. Well,
once they signed Micah, very part of it.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
But look here, here's the reality.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
If you if you want to look at how they're
allocating their the funds, they're number three in the league
in offense where they're spending their money.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
They're thirtieth on defense.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
So we can talk about how like hey, it's Mike Zammer,
it's not work or their defense, their injuries. They're also
not spending money on that side of the ball. Now,
some of that has to do with the fact Micah
hasn't gotten his next deal, and once he gets that
that will change. But they're also not devoting quite as
much to that position. And then if you look at
on offense, the position they're devoting a ton of money to,

(39:19):
it's wide receiver. They're sixth in the league as far
as average annual value spending. So just to give you
a sense of they're they're dumping it all into kind
of dack because they're number one as far as what
they've spent on the quarterback average annual value, and then
they're number six at wide receiver, and then you go
through the rest. I mean, they are in the bottom

(39:39):
half in spending on every other position. I mean, even
though line, which is a group that traditionally has been
really good for them, but that's how they stack the
roster quarterback and wide receiver and it's obviously not paying
off for them very well.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Yeah, well, Nicol and dime Dallas, Baby, who do they
have this week?

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Who do they have? This one? All of the Niners
on Sunday Night. That's gonna be an interesting game because
it's a pivotal moment for the Niners too. Both teams. Yeah,
both teams. Yeah. If Dallas loses, they what, they haven't
won very many games? Right, what two wins? We win three?

(40:18):
And that's the same for the forty nine ers. Yeah,
I mean, do we come away from this game saying
that the loser of this game is kind of like,
do we start to have the conversation of steering into
the twilight, like I would hate to say that, And
again I say, I'm not I'm not into saying that
about the forty nine ers. But I have not been

(40:41):
high on Dallas at all.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
I trust the Niners direction and in front office more
than they do Dallas way more.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
So what if they lose? What if? What if the
forty nine ers lose to Dallas?

Speaker 3 (40:55):
Do you want me to give you the percentage probability
from NFL dot com. Yeah, let's do it all right.
If they win, their odds increased a fifty seven percent chance.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Of making the playoffs. Nice. If they lose, it's down
to about thirty three four percent. Not nice. That goes Dallas.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Dallas, on the other hand, even with a win, does
not eclipse a coin flip. They're below fifty percent chances
even with a win over San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Well, the team that's currently sitting in the playoff pole position,
or two teams I would say that I don't foresee
making it are Seattle in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Oh jeez, I thought you don't say the Jets, but
we're no NFC. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
Yeah, So those two in particular and I think you've
got Philly, You've got Tampa, You've got Dallas in San
Francisco biding for it.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Jonas, Arizona Cardinals, the Cardinals just one. Are they the
dark horse to get the NFC West. I don't know, man,
that that wasn't very impressive Day one, all right. I mean,
I'm just said, losing is ugly. It's uglier than an
ugly win. That's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
Yeah, I mean, well, look, we've got a long time
to play out and a lot of things could happen.
Trade deadline still around the corner. DeAndre Hopkins just got dealt,
so there could be more teams on the making moves
here in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Hopefully it's the Cowboy.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
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.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
So, speaking of Wednesday traditions, there's a little somebody we
talked to. Every single Wednesday, he comes on the show
and he just lights it up.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
What's his nag? It's the op.

Speaker 7 (42:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:46):
Petros papaekis the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can get on the Blowtorch and La Sports
Fox college Football Analyst and our good buddy Pee, what's happening?

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Good morning morning?

Speaker 10 (42:59):
Hello, well I'm here, i'd pee good morning just to everybody.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Good morning, yeah Pee.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
By the way, I hate to start this off on
a down note, but obviously the news of the passing
of the great Fernando Blenzuela, which people maybe nationally don't
get the gravity.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
That that holds.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
But man, when he was here and playing, like, Fernando
Mania was a real thing.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
Pee.

Speaker 10 (43:23):
Yeah, and it really was like an eighties thing throughout
the eighties. He was a Dodger from nineteen eighty to
nineteen ninety, and then he played pro baseball for seven
more years all over the place, pinch hitting, playing first base,
playing in the Major leagues, playing in the Mexican leagues.
And yeah, it's pretty hard to quantify. I guess lynsanity

(43:49):
you could think about, and what a big deal that
was nationally for like a week, Fernando Mania was that,
but the player was really really good and it was like.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Ten oh wow.

Speaker 10 (44:01):
And the thing about the Dodgers that makes it so
much cooler than anything as far as sports go in
Los Angeles, because the Lakers is just a douche fest.
It always It's not always been that way, but is
somewhere around twenty five years ago, pro basketball priced everybody

(44:23):
out that really wanted to be there, and then it's
only gotten worse and worse, And believe it or not,
the way he died was so tragic that it erased
a lot of the polarization that Kobe was in town.
There were a lot of Laker fans, people that grew
up with Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain, and a lot

(44:45):
more that grew up with Magic Johnson and worthy in
Kareem that did not like the Shaq and Kobe infighting
and were really kind of polarized by that, and then
polarized again by Kobe's behavior and the whole.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Way that that ended.

Speaker 10 (45:05):
And then they are polarized again by Lebron and sort
of him renting the Lakers and doing what he wants
with him with Genie Buzz asleep at the switch, and
that's Laker fandom. The Dodgers have always been great and
fun in Los Angeles as long as I can remember,

(45:26):
and I was born in nineteen seventy seven because of
the Latino fan base. I mean, the Latino fan base
is what makes the Dodgers cool. If we didn't have
the Latino fan base in La and not just Mexicans,
which Bernando was, but you know, Guatemala, l Salvador, everything.
You know, people from those cultures, and it makes the

(45:51):
Dodgers fun.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
It makes the Dodgers different.

Speaker 10 (45:54):
It connects people in the city who would have no
real exposure to that kind of flavor. I guess, as
Vic the Brick would say, flame bah, we would not.
We would not know about a lot of this stuff.
It wasn't for the Dodgers. I mean, for God's sakes,
people are in there drinking michiladas. You know that's you

(46:16):
can't get like yes, but it's like you get some
stockbroker guy who's like a hedge fund Orange County guy
drinking a Michalana next to some dude with a face tattoo,
and that's the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
It's been a great thing, totally. Yeah, it really had.

Speaker 10 (46:29):
And you can I mean, come on, Jonas, you know this,
and uh, it's a beautiful thing. And I could just
remember I worked in the kitchen at my dad's restaurant
from the age of like eight to fourteen or thirteen
till I.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Finally graduated legal no and.

Speaker 10 (46:50):
I mean Fernando was was our patron saint in that kitchen,
and if he was pitching, God help us if anybody
interrupted us for an order or an appetizer to have
something washed. If Fernando was on the mound, crazy thing
was he was a great hitter too. He was a
gold glover. And Fernando Mania just ignited an already very

(47:14):
excitable Latino fan base and galvanized something and it never
really stopped. El Toro was his nickname, the Bull. And
then on another great moment is he threw a no
hitter as a dodger. And there's a very famous call,
of course from another dear departed saint of the franchise,
Vin Scully, to me, the greatest announcer that ever lived,

(47:38):
And he threw a no hitter, and Vin said, if
you have a sombrero, throw it to the sky. I'm
sure you'll hear that a bunch of times. In the
next few days, he was sick and people knew that
it wasn't going well, and all the obits were written.
Bill Plashki from The La Times wrote a beautiful one,
but yeah, I think it's kind of hard to quantify

(48:00):
for people outside of the city of Los Angeles. I
think in San Diego and San Francisco and stuff they
get for nandomania, maybe beyond that they don't. But it
wasn't just likelysanity where it was a fun thing for
a couple of weeks. This guy settled down and was
a workhorse and a star on the Dodgers for the
better part of a decade, winning World series pitching no

(48:23):
hitters and being a literal god to the entire community,
but just a huge hero to Latinos everywhere, and it
was it was really something.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
To be around for. And God rest his soul. Very sad, Yeah,
very sad.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
I want a transition here or not ever easy to
do after talking about something like this, But speaking of gods,
I want to talk about a player who maybe thinks
he's God.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Just last night, the Lakers Lebron. Oh wow, what.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
A moment for them, Petros, and really what that means
for the league and for Lebron's legacy and the Lakers legacy.
I mean, talk to me about how excited you were
to see that last time?

Speaker 10 (48:59):
It was great because I was watching and I was like, wow,
this feels a little awkward, right, this might be not
the same as Ken Griffy Junior. I was watching that,
I was like, you know, maybe this is a little different.
But then you have all these Twitter feeds and stuff
that wash Lebron's sack and they tell me what a

(49:24):
great and historic and fabulous moment it is. So I'm like, Okay,
I'm witnessing history, but I'm still feel a little weird
inside because I'm like, this is a little awkward.

Speaker 7 (49:33):
You know.

Speaker 10 (49:34):
I know, this kid wasn't even All League in high
school two years ago, and it's not like he was.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Better in college.

Speaker 10 (49:40):
Of course, he had that heart thing, which should probably
be a hindrance and not an excuse as to why
he's not better, and maybe not draft him, leave him
in college for another couple of years because he had
a cardiac problem.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
But that's okay.

Speaker 10 (49:56):
You know he's here and they did the draft and
we been talking about it, and then I was a
little nervous, and then I heard Canvas Parker tell me
three things that made me feel a lot better.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
She told me that Brownie works hard. She told me
that Bronnie's a professional.

Speaker 10 (50:13):
And she told me that Brownie has a great attitude,
and I was like, I feel better about this.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
This is great. Is that sarcasm? Why are you being?
For real? I am being one hundred percent sarcastic. I
was was he talking to you or were you listening to.

Speaker 10 (50:32):
Well, you know, she was doing she was doing the
commentary kind of laid out for her because I don't
feel like the other two really wanted to be on
too much record. She was probably there, but and whatever,
that's those are the talking points, right, That's what Genie
Buss said when she came on our show. That's what
JJ Reddick said and all that. And I guess that's

(50:54):
what we were all waiting for. And now he's going
to go to the G League for the rest of
the year. I I don't know, but in Los Angeles
it's totally eclipsed by Fernando, even though ESPN has the
Browni headline above the Fernando thing. Nationally, A few people
pointed that out to me last night, and a few
people pointed out to me that, Wow, what a crazy

(51:17):
thing that this happened, almost like eclipsing the Bronny thing
on purpose. You know, but obviously not. But some people
look at that in that way. Yeah, it happened, It
was I mean, I felt really manufactured. And I know
that everybody has the argument, well, what does the fifty

(51:38):
fifth pick usually do? And what do you care and
all that. It just feels like a major manipulation of
what we thought of as a pretty pure system, the
meritocracy of being in the NBA or professional sports. And
we've talked about it a whole bunch, and I think
this has been a plan of people's for three four years.
Regardless of whether or not bron he was going to

(52:00):
be ready for it. They were going to force it
down our throats and we all we all felt.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
It last night speaking of manipulation, What what's the latest
tactics that will be needed and used by USC after
allowing the terps to you know, overcome, they got go goed,
They got go goed, right, they got.

Speaker 10 (52:22):
They got the byb The backyard band just started banged
on the the backyard band and the huck a bucks.
They ascence, Yeah, yeah, there you go. It's They started
to bang on the uh, the upside down buckets, and
the Trojans just couldn't hang I mean, guys, I think
Lincoln Riley in his first eleven games was uh ten

(52:46):
and one at USC. And after they lost that game
to Utah and Caleb Williams was crying. Remember that if
they won, they would have gone into the playoff. And
they lost that game at Utah. Caleb was hurt Packed
twelve Championship game, and Lincoln Riley said, this is the
worst will ever be at USC football. He was rest

(53:08):
as shirt. Well, actually, yeah, that was the best they
were the last eleven games. They're four and seven at USC,
and people say, well, you know, if we had Caleb Williams,
it would be different. It's like, well, Caleb Williams was
one in six or one in five in his last

(53:29):
a handful of starts at USC. And then people say, well,
if we weren't in the Big ten, we'd take it
all to Pack twelve. It's like, well, last year you lost,
you were about a five hundred team and that was
in the Pac twelve. And what's so different now. The
thing that's upsetting to me is that Notre Dame game, sorry,
the LSU game with the Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly

(53:52):
was an anomaly, and I thought of it as this
gigantic sign of change for USC. I thought of it is, Wow,
look what's happened here. They are playing a blue blood,
a great representative of a team that's built up on
the offensive and defensive line, a team with blue blood
skill on the perimeter, a team that's going to try

(54:13):
to push the lot of scrimmage and us he stood
up to that. They were the more disciplined team. They
tackled in the open field, their quarterback made plays, they
ran the ball enough to win. All of those things
that happened in that game gave me hope. And it
turned out that game was the burp in the universe.
Brian Kelly deserved to be pissed, pounding on the table

(54:36):
like Nikiti Kruz Jeff because he knew he lost to
a bad team and nobody else did. I guess, and
USC since then has lost at Maryland at Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
I mean, you guys know the Big Ten.

Speaker 10 (54:50):
If you lose at Maryland and at Minnesota, what kind
of team are you in the Big Ten. You're terrible,
You're not gonna win, You're not going to be mentioned. Done,
it's over. And that that's disturbing the fact that They're
throwing the ball fifty times to twenty when clearly their

(55:10):
best player on offense is the running back.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
What he marks? Uh, it's it's bad.

Speaker 10 (55:16):
You know, Lincoln Riley doesn't look like a head coach.
This is a pattern of losing. People are showing pictures
on Twitter of the USC sideline of everybody.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Well, at least they're not picking their boogers like Rogers was.
You know, Yeah, I don't. I don't get that. I mean,
i'd pick my nose like everybody, but I don't eat it. Yeah,
that was It's hard to understand. I don't either, trust me.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
We broke it down framed by a frame the three
steps to actually picking then eating a booger.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
But I digress. They're one and four in Big Ten.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Play and they've got Rutgers at Washington versus Nebraska at
UCLA than Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
They might not be Bowl eligible.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
So so, but is there a breaking point here where
the administration goes because this is obviously a new university president,
a new athletic director, right.

Speaker 10 (56:02):
I think the president was there when he was hired. Okay, yeah,
so new athletic director. Yeah, Jen Cohen, who I like
a lot Yeah, she seems awesome, but it's not her hire.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Some twenty million dollars buyout and a ten year deal
they gave him.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
So so you're saying, there's no way they've got to
live with this this season.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Regardless of how bad this gets this season, they might
be in purgatory for years.

Speaker 10 (56:26):
I mean, the guy that stepped up and paid off
Clayhilton's contractor was one of the worst in college football history.
C AA took advantage of Lynn Swan and made Clay
Hilton a rich man.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Well, it wanted so much experience being an athletic director.
I made complete sense.

Speaker 10 (56:43):
Well, he had yelled at me and said I ran
the boys club, and I was like, okay, So.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
I was like, you don't have a lot of experience.
Excuse me, Oh okay, I'm sorry. Well but Pat Hayden
had a ton of administrative experience.

Speaker 10 (56:58):
Too, right, Yeah, well, this is what happens, right, this
is why we're ten years behind everybody else. But Lynn
Swann gave Clay Hilton a terrible contract. It turns out
Lincoln Riley's might be worse, and he was viewed as
a savior for USC football. A guy named Rick Caruso,
very rich guy in LA who owns the Americana Big

(57:19):
shopping center.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
He built the grove from there. He yeah, that was it.

Speaker 10 (57:24):
He gave ninety million dollars to USC to make this happen.
Spoke at the Lincoln Riley press conference and used it
as kind of a it's like some LA confidential type
of stuff, used it as sort of a springboard to
his mayoral campaign. And everybody was so happy in coming
out of COVID that USC football was going to be fixed,

(57:45):
that no one kind of blinked twice at the ten
year deal with the seventy million dollar buyout that your guy,
Mike Boone, the athletic director at the time, game, you
don't even know how much fun we're going to have
with Lincoln Riley.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
You're right, I don't.

Speaker 10 (57:59):
And whatever happened there, he still ended up losing the
mayoral race to a lady with a buzz cut. And yeah,
so he got ninety million dollars for nothing, and we
got what you're saying, I don't know, we got mayor
buzz cut here in La Karen Bass and uh, and

(58:21):
I don't know if you think he's gonna pony up
the other another ninety million to pay off Lincoln Riley
and bring somebody new in.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
I doubt it, probably not without the bone. Areno trying
to convince him?

Speaker 10 (58:31):
You know, I don't know who. I honestly don't know
what USC is going to do. But USC and UCLA
football appear to be broken. And I don't think they
were broken by the Big Ten. I just think they're broke,
you know, because Oregan's great, They're fine, you know, they
they didn't get pushed around in the big Big ten test.
And Washington's not helpless. But SC and Ucla, man, they

(58:55):
are a they are a punchline.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
Hey, Petricks, I wanted to also, uh send condolences to
you and yours before I let you go on the
loss of speedo. Oh just uh hope hope everybody is
is doing well.

Speaker 10 (59:10):
There's a rough weekend here at the end. My daughter's
hamster died.

Speaker 2 (59:14):
Oh hamster. My wife was not all the lizards fine,
I'd retire, Uh wasn't I'd retire.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (59:26):
My daughter has a hamster and they're supposed to live
a certain amount of time, and I think I lived
out its life and it started to like really slow down.
And what does that look like, I don't I don't
see much like poke at it and then moves more
and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
Uh and uh.

Speaker 10 (59:42):
My wife left town for some kind of retreat and
the hamster died on me while my wife was.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
Out of town. Oh no, you're to blame. My son
tried to revive it with mouth to mouth. Yeah you
really did? You know you could blow out their lungs
doing that?

Speaker 10 (59:59):
I think it did. It was like, well, it started
convulsing die and then you know, a lot of people
suggested I give it the old Viking funeral, which is
just throw it into the bushes or light it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
On fire or something.

Speaker 10 (01:00:12):
But now it's in the freezer because my daughter wants
it stuffed through a butthole.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I guess, is that's how you stuff it. She looked
it up and uh, she wants to need that specific detail.
That's what she said.

Speaker 10 (01:00:26):
And then it's I guess it's fifteen hundred bucks to
stuff a hamster.

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Oh my god, I have to drive it. I'd have
to drive it to O Highway. It's nice up there,
though it is. There's some Fox executives up there.

Speaker 7 (01:00:39):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
You have a business meeting. You can run it off,
take it into the Dutch. Trust me, they don't want
to meet with me.

Speaker 10 (01:00:46):
But yes, the hamster died and it was a big
faidst Well, what bothered me it's not the cost. It
was the emotional toll. But what bothered me was, you know,
everybody was like, oh my god, you know, because they
know my daughter's volatile. Uh, my daughter's like, wear's a
breathe right all day for no reason, like all.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Day, wow, like Neil Smith on the nose. I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:01:13):
People are always like, hey, what happened to your nose?
Like she's she's an eccentric. I don't know if that
surprises you, uh uh. But everybody's like, so people know
my daughter and they're like, god, dude, what are you
gonna do that hamster died? What are you gonna do?

Speaker 2 (01:01:28):
She's gonna freak out, She's gonna freak out. What are
you gonna do?

Speaker 10 (01:01:31):
It's like, well, I'm not gonna bring it back to life, guys,
I'm not you know that ability. Yeah, I'm not gonna
touch it and bring it back to life. I'm not
gonna What am I gonna do? I'm gonna tell her
that hamster died and she did a great job with
it and it had a great life. What do you mean,
what am I gonna do? I'm not gonna freaking hook
it up to a little thing and put a thing
we're gonna stuff, wait for lightning and put it on

(01:01:53):
the roof and screams.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
Yeah, are we gonna stuff this thing? I hope? I
literally like a two percent chance that it's going to
get stuff? Are you going to get another hamster that shell?

Speaker 10 (01:02:10):
Well here's what happened. Then later that night we started,
you know, I had to comfort her. So she has
slept in the bed with me and moms out of town,
and so we watched the TCU game, which is a
late TCU Stanford. That is that comforting? I was playing
a TCU played Utah Utah utah tc who's playing Utah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
It's a hell of a wake. Who got the TCU game?
Loved it?

Speaker 10 (01:02:33):
She wanted and then she's like, what's that said? It's
a horn frog And she got really excited and started
looking up horn frog.

Speaker 2 (01:02:40):
He wants a horn frog as a pet.

Speaker 10 (01:02:42):
Which is not legal. Turns out took me a couple
of days to figure that out. There's three type of
horn frogs. And none of them are legal to have,
so uh.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
They got them exotic places, though you still get it,
you know. I don't even think you can get it
outside it. I don't know anyway.

Speaker 10 (01:02:56):
Okay, the point is that became a bit of an
obsession for couple hours. And now the Vikings game came
on and I was like, hey, look there's football, and
she's like, is it the horn Frogs? And I was
like no. She's like, but they're purple. I said yeah.
She said, what are they the Pirates? I said, no,
the Vikings. She was it's the same thing and walked out.

(01:03:17):
I guess, I guess a pirate and a Viking pretty similar.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
Pe. We appreciate it. Always good stuff at the old
pon x is where you can find him. He's the
cost of the Petro some money show which you can
hear on the blowtorch.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Am five seven la sports. Do you have a sombrerost
throw it to the sky? Yeah, right there it is.
Thanks B
