Speaker 1 (00:02):
Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with Lamar arings and rating win and Jonas Knox on
Boxports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Boy, Oh boy, that was a heck of an All
Star game last night there. How do we feel about it? Ah?
Going out?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Uh, I was not aware of the home run derby
situation that happens at the end of the end of
the game to avoid extra innings. So that was new
to me. I'm like, okay, here we go. Yeah, I'm
making up rules as we go.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't think I don't think some of the people
involved were aware of it either, you know, looking around
the dugout going, Hey, where's a whe're are judging O
TAWNI all there at the airport? All right, so you
guys fill in and then they try and spin it
afterwards as well. You know these were all predetermined before
the game. Oh yeah. So Dave Roberts who said yestours,
I just told him a few minutes ago he was
(00:53):
going to be a part of this. Like it's look,
it's an exhibition. It's not that big of a deal.
But let's like, you know, get the story straight before
we run with those That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
To me.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But that's not exaggeration by the way either. Like those guys,
as soon as they were done, all right, boys, see
out there the field.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I mean, they are out of there.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
There's no reason to hang around to like watch the
rest of these seven or eight innings of the All
Star Games. So that is a true story. They actually
dip more often than not.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Did you bail at the Pro Bowls?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
As Wow, you didn't hear me? That's you know. I
just I'll defer to you guys on that.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
One, because well, extra innings. I would have needed to
do the regular innings to to be able to do
the extra innings. So there you go. Well I heard
it was pretty good though.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well I'm saying, I'm saying what I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Did you know we're talking about though? Well, uh no,
I didn't. Well, no, I played. I played in the
Pro Bowl. I know you played play. But I'm saying, like,
did you bail out after something else? I don't know
because I heard exactly are we we talked? Because some
(02:07):
things I might have bailed on, some things I might
have stayed in there, you know, I don't know, depending
on I remember hearing the story for the party, I.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Remember hearing a story that Troy Aikman left mid game,
like he left at halftime of the Pro Bowls.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Like, yeah, that's okay, So so that is what you
guys are saying now, I don't. I never bailed in
the game. In fact, I played every play. Like some
guys started playing in the second half. I was out
there head hunting in the first half, first quarter, I was.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I was out there. Yeah, I was hunting.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I'm talking about yeah, but you know it, definitely you
could tell that. Like I remember distinctly one time I
hit Corey Dillon and he he was really upset at me,
like why are Why would you hit me that hard?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You know?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And I didn't play against Corey Dillon in regular season,
So any time you know I'm out there, I'm out
there like I'm out there playing for keeps in the
Pro Bowl. So yeah, I don't know, I didn't. I
didn't leave. But guys definitely, you know, when we got
to the second half, they're like, man, you know, you
(03:15):
start looking around and dudes is like, hey, you know
I got eight people here, Well I have fifteen, I
have twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well what are you going to do? We're going to
play some ball? Let's get that.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Let's get that win the game check, you know, And
so guys would play in the second half. But I
was already warmed up because I came out ready to
play in the first quarter, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, so you stuck around, you didn't You didn't head
to the airport like some of these guys did last night.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
No, no, But I thought you were talking about like
dating my dating life, you know, like if we're talking
about dating, because I was a serial dater at the
Pro Bowl, you know, serial dater.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh yeah, what exactly that?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, you know, you go to the Pro Bowl, you
date and what whoever you date there is it began
and it ends.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Meet by the torch at midnight. Let's see what happened.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yeah, and sometimes you bailed out on the dating and
ended up dating someone out or someone else, and and
then possibly you stayed in it while you was.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
In you know, you know, in Honolulu, you know.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Or waki Ki, like you stayed in you know, for
for the duration.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, I don't know if those guys went to go
date anybody else.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I don't know, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
So I got a little confused on the lingo, you know,
what I mean, bailing out staying in. There were a
couple that I was good with staying in with. There
was a couple that I bailed out on, and you know,
I just had to continue to date a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Do you guys know it was fun? Did you guys?
Do you have an issue with the fact that some
players might have left early and just said we're out
of here, even though it's, you know, Baseball's biggest stage,
the Midsummer Times funny?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Actually to me, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Is it really Baseball's biggest stage.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, you know, it's where all their stars are all
in one place. Yeah, but it's all their stars in
one place there. It's it's for the fans. And you know,
these guys gave a couple of innings and are like,
all right, we'll see you.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We're good here.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Nice. I mean, I don't have an issue with it,
but I could understand that there's some people that look
at that and go, no, you should stick around for
the duration. Like you're playing one hundred and sixty two games,
you get a few days off. I get them wanting
to be like, all right, I need some time. They
go through the whole spectacle, the introduction to all that stuff,
(05:50):
and then they jam and then afterwards it's just funny,
you know, people trying to give you the messaging that,
oh no, it's all predetermined lineup, so you know, not
really like if it was, they're probab would have been
some other hitters out there. But it was still a
fun game, fun game, and the rule.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Of them were my hitter. I was a hitter that
was out there. You know, I was out there. But
baseball is a little different.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
I mean I heard about how dugouts, you know, or
how the bullpen works or whatever, like don't they be
hanging out like in the clubhouse and stuff like that
until it's necessary.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Like I just feel like the rules.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Of engagement maybe are a little bit different, Like maybe
a game of baseball is a tad bit more casual
and approach than maybe what football would have been. Is
that is that fair to say. I'm not a baseball guy,
so I don't, but I mean, from what I could gather,
it is a very very relaxed environment if you're not
(06:49):
on the field, which I feel like it's kind of
relaxed on the field too, a little bit because you know,
you got to wait for somebody to hit it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Pretty you were a Paul Schemes back in the day throwing.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Know that I was ever Paul Skins, by the way,
But I will say this, watching him pitch, I was like,
this is probably this generation's version of Nolan Ryan's.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, boy, is.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That too big of a statement, only because I don't
know that he throws as hard as Nolan Ryan did? Like,
does he does?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Does he?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I feel like Nolan Ryan topped out of like one
oh four. I don't am I making stuff up at
this point.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know if he threw that hard.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
But he got arm he got his arm end up
getting shredded.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, he pitched.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
He's forty four, forty five, he pitched forever. Dang, that's
gonna be one of the biggest differences. But the thing
about understand how fast that is. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The thing about Skins is there's been some speculation will
the Pirates trade him? Because you know, he's such a
premier talent that everybody would love to have on their team.
And the Pirates clearly and so well, they they're clearly
not going anywhere. They don't have enough to build around him.
Last night was the second time in his career that
(08:03):
he's been on a team that scored more than one
run in the first inning. He gets no run support.
He gets none in Pittsburgh, and so the thought is
he's kind of wasting away there for lack of a
better term, not having any ability to advance anywhere, to
go anywhere for it. And you know, the Pirates are
going to want to try and keep him as long
as they can, but at some point you got at
(08:24):
least kick the tires on a trade. And they've traded
top stars before. That's been their history, especially over recent years.
I mean, just to think about what you would.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Have traded Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla of them.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They trade everybody like if they've got a star, like with.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That group too in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Doug Drey back, all those guys.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean, that was that talk about a loaded team
that didn't do it? Nuh yeah, interesting, But Skeens.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I did watch baseball back then.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
I was a fan of the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I watched Willie Stargel you remember now big time?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, yeah, big Lily Stargel guy.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Here's the Nolan Ryan update. By the way, His fastest
recorded pitch was officially one hundred point nine miles per
hour in nineteen seventy four. However, the way pitch speed
was measured back then was different than today's methods. There's
some estimates say they would be measured in today's standards
at around one hundred and eight one hundred and eight.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Jeez, that's still crazy fast.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
So they've got fastball inflation. One hundred and eight miles
an hour.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That would have been It would have been faster, faster
because the way they measured one hundred and nine.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You imagine trying to hit one away one.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Hundred point nine like one o one oh okay.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He imagine trying to hit one aweight like what do
you do? What's the point?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
It's gone, isn't it? I mean a hundred is gone.
How do you even see one hundred and eight? That's
like literally a bullet, right, geez, that's out there shooting
a burner?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, he was, he was.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This is crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So do you know how they do? You know how
they actually clock uh pictures speed nowadays versus how they
used to remember, No, it's not, but that's how they
used to do it. They'd set up the radar agun
like ten feet behind or ten feet in front of
home plate, and that's how they'd measure it. But the
problem is the ball at that point was decelerating. So
(10:30):
that's why the estimate that actually in today's standards, where
they actually measure the speed of the ball off the
pitcher's hand, which is its fastest point, that's why they
estimate that it'd be one hundred and eight versus about
one hundred and one.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Guys today throw so hard in Major League Baseball, it's
you you're going to see somebody come out of a
bullpen on a rock. Like there's teams that have two
three on a rocket shot. They're throwing one hundred out
of the gates, one hundred two, one hundred three. That
guy Misowski for the Brewers clocks in it at one
(11:05):
o two regularly like it's just a common occurrence. And
then they wonder why some of these guys there's like
the arm injuries, and those issues have popped up and
more teams have dealt with it. It's why the Dodgers
keep blowing through a lot of guys and their rotation.
Otani threw over one hundred this year, like he clocked
in at over one hundred, So everybody's throwing hard these days.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
If you were the American right the most, like you
hit the ball right and you you throw that baseball
as far as you can over that plate. The most
American thing is a deep ball, an explosive play, and.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's fun, but it's not the most American people play.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
People play baseball abroad.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
It's to the point, though, is America's game?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, but Levart's to the point though, to where if
you throw over one oh two, when the all hits
the catcher's mitt, red white and blue smoke pops out
like it is, do you.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Get to the quarterback? That's the most American thing? Like defense, Hello,
there's there's here's the problem. Here's the problem. There's too
many intricacies or details along the way, like your.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Move, your rush, what you got to do to get
by the guy.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
The whole thing. This is semantics. This is simple.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
There's no semantics in me stepping back and just ripping
one across the plate at one hundred and four miles.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
When you put your body on a Brady Quinn and
he goes down to the ground and you hear that
when you.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hit here's the worst part is your first Your first.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Example was the American, which I would be able to
tell you, and that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Playing both sports, there's nothing more. There's nothing more American
than just ripping one past the dude on the mound,
walking off.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Ask spit spin towards that other dugout.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
So what's up?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Ask one of those fans, where'd you get your weapons?
I cut down a tree in the backyard and made
it myself. Come on, man, serious, I'm telling you. And
you know, the best part to all this talk about, Hey,
you know you gotta all this talk about you got
to stay away from tobacco. You gotta you gotta be
careful of that stuff. Guys are still walking around with
(13:24):
rocks in their mouth.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I mean football games.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Hello, I think it's Zen's now, right, isn't everyone the Zen?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
You know?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
I tried. I tried like two of those the other
day with Mike.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Body body your age, or he's a little younger than you,
mighty mighty younger than Yeah, he's younger than you. Yeah,
you know from the uh the team that stayed him
and Zortage and all those guys that stayed when O'Brien
was at and O'Brien was after you came out, right,
Joe was still coaching when you were in college.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Joe, So yeah, yeah, yeah, he was still there. So
you New York and mighty's a little younger than you,
but he was young.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
What would he being on the sidelines when he was
at in something?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Pooh, Joe, Joe, Hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Get him out there?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Hey, what is it doing?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Get him mad at?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll send you on a train, I send you back
on the bus you came from. I send you back, Hey,
telling him, I send him back.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
They can't do that these days.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You say that, first of all, you didn't bring me
here on a train or on a bus. I got that,
n I l money. I came in a hell Cat
or you know, one of them joints he'd be driving.
That is crazy seeing the parking lot of a college,
a college parking lot.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
These days, bro, it is a car show, like you would.
Why are there so many hell Cats?
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Why is that the car?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know? You know, I don't know. I do not know.
It's a great question. I do not know.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
And well they're upgrading these days, man, Like I'm seeing
a whole lot more Mercedes Benzes too, and they're like
all kinds of different colors and stuff like that, Like
they really be tricking these riots out.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I don't know, man, but hell Cat you hear them
as soon as practice over, you know, it's over. Like
when I'm up there now and I'm doing the show
and guys are coming and going, you could hear like
twenty thirty cars like just hell Cats just turning on
and rolling out, and everybody wants you to hear their
tires and all that stuff. So, I don't know, man,
(15:43):
but hell Cat is almost like the vehicle of choice
for college athletes.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I don't know. I don't know. Have you ever driven one?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
No, Yeah, I've driven an SRT before, but I've never
driven a hell Cat.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I don't you know. I don't know. I'm here a challenge,
it's not that, yeah, just not hell Cat. Yeah, I
don't I don't know, man. I like muscle though.

I got I got six one uh six, three six four,
And Paula got some Lincoln uh Lee.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Behind the scenes, trying to figure out his whole camera
situation is like entertaining it in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I'll be honest with you, I just distract. There are
so many links that have been sent out. I don't
know which one to click.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
On Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn Jonas knocks
with You Lead to Lap has one sock on, and
I'm not really sure why I don't see any see
that he's walking around. He was walking around with one
sock on.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Beerooes on.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
He's one step closer to homeless as.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He really is.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
We're watching a morph into a homeless person. By the way.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
He d confrontations with the homeless today.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
By the way, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That that's at least superpower. Most people turned in Superman.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
It's like it's like an invisible cloak.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I had some it's a bird, it's a plane, it's
home bow Man.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I had some interactions with the homeless yesterday.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
It was very I almost I almost threw down because
I still I almost like they saw.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
When you had a chance to and they took your stuff.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
And I still have some pent up. Yeah, I still
have some pent up anger about that. And I'm pretty
sure this guy who's been around in my neighborhood, he's
he's a number one culprit for I can't say he
was the guy who has my back, Dirty Mic and
the boys. He might be Dirty Mic. And he was
like doing Kung Fu moves and like sprinting. He was
doing forty yard sprints up and down the up and
(20:46):
down the boulevard. And I was walking the neighbor's dog
and he was like sprinting at.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Me and like eyeing me down. And I was like, oh,
give me a reason.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And he was sprinting at you.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
He was sprinting at me, and then he'd sprint away
from me.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
And then did he sprint close enough for you to
kick him in the chest?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, he didn't. So it was just like pregame winner close.
It was just like pregame warm up. Yeah, I went
on your side of the field. Oh yeah, Oh yeah,
so bad I was. Yeah, So why why did you
let him take your sock?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So so last night?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That the socks I gave you that guy Lee's sock
is that guy's wallet right now. He wore your ass
out in front of that dead dog.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
In his wallet. I'll tell you what he's using it for.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, hold my pocket?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Why are you wearing one sock?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Though?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Shoes?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Had no shoes?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Well okay, so all right, this is embarrassing, but okay,
So it is one of the days where I woke
up in a panic super early for the show at
twelve thirty, and I ran out the door, and then
I realized, I was like, I was kind of an
hour earlier than I usually am, and so I went
back and I was like I could grab an extra
half hour of sleep, and then that resulted in me
(22:02):
over sleeping by an hour, and I ran out the
door and I couldn't find the other sock, so I
came in one sock, two shoes. I do have shoes,
but it's gross. It's gross. It's gross wearing shoes with
those socks. So right now, right now I'm just bare.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I wouldn't call it gross.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
I think it's gross. Well, depending on the shoe, it's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
There are some shoes that are made to not be
wore socks, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Socks and sandals on this one. Yeah, if you smelled
Lee's feet, you would say you need to wear socks.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
And I think that's that's just poor that Yeah, I
think it would be bad if he has socks on too,
So it's bad.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I mean he's getting approached by bombs because they see
him and going, hey, he's one of us.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
It's like, you know how you can't like you? You
ever wonder why wildlife can get close to one another
but you can't.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
It's the smell. You ever need a hunter? And I
used to smell John Janssen.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
John Jansen used to come in from hunting to go
to meetings in the morning, and didn't you know, every
once in a while be too close. He cut it
to have to get to the meeting, so he didn't
take a shower before and shower off that stuff or
just couldn't get it off. But yeah, I mean you
got to smell like them in order to be able
(23:33):
to not be detected by them as danger at least
when he was running towards you so close.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, I thought he just thought you were one of
them in like their relay team, like the button, so
I thought he was.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What is the baton?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
No participations? Like why is this guy acting like you
can't run?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What is the baton? And aluminum can?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
What he was like a used needle got he had?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Because I see this guy all the time.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
If he had the best outfit he's ever had on,
which was like a Komodo, like a silk Komodo on
running full sprints, and this guy's got like a dreads,
white dude with dreads.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
You had to preface that. Oh yeah I did post preface.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Okay, yeah, yeah I do.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
I'm painting a picture here, white dude with dreads and
a Kimodo on doing full sprint, like doing a whole shake,
like gearing himself up and then just doing forty yard
sprints past the Zanku Chicken and the fresh back and forth, Oh,
in front of the Jiffy loop that I was so
famously shook down the other bump in front of Yeah,
(24:38):
and he and he was like coming at me and then.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He was running.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Super curious as to I've been watching Everyone Hates Chris.
Never watched it, always saw it around, But for some
reason Pim wanted to watch it the other day. She said,
looks like it's interesting, and we turned it on one
interesting one and entertaining show, super entertaining. I wonder if
(25:03):
they did Everybody Hates Lee, where Lee commentates the things
that go on in his day. Would that be Would
it be as interesting if we could see it play
out in content form.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I've never met it.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
It sounds crazy, outrage like just a regular day. Just
sounds really, really crazy outrageous to listen to when Lee.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Talks about it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I've never met anybody who's able to pack in more
dysfunction in a few hours in my entire life.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I actually it's unbelievable. You admire it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The guy's getting in fights with bums and walking a
dog who's probably dad. I mean, you're walking if you're
walking around a stuffed animal at that point, the thing's
not going to live much longer, and somehow, some way,
like still still managing to kind of get all these
zoom links out mentioned.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
The personal Well, he barely some of these things are
a thread. I just I don't know, man, how can
you have that many crazy things happen during the course
of one day every day?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
I just don't.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
I don't at the.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Nation trips, trips to trips out of the country, like
multiple people in the situation, trips, Like I just don't
understand how all of these things can happen.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And you guys are all forgetting one thing. It's all
the prelude to delivery Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
I'm looking forward to it. I need it. It's been
a long week already. What is it Tuesday? It's Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It's Wednesday. Do you really need delivery Wednesday? I mean,
he said, you act like you take from drinking.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Take up, take a Wednesday delivery off?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
What do you mean you said it's thunesday?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, Well, what are you doing like that?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Lee shows up to A's like, I'll pick up anybody,
shift here, anybody anything I got you don't worry.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Well I was actually quite concerning. It really is quite
concerning the things we hear you say.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Lee.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I mean we have talked about interventions like amongst us,
like we can do it right now.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It might be time for intervention. Man, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Our show, who's gonna drink with me? If you stop drinking?
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Right for you too?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
You know, I don't I don't know. You know, I
don't know one socking in the studio, no shoes on.
Y're talking about the way his feet stink. I just
I don't know, man, I just feel like maybe that's
the last straw.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
If I were, if I were you at stand out
of that men's restroom, that's you think.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Have you ever seen athletes foot it's not pretty much.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well if you're gonna need a canoe to get through there,
so bad Aim bad Aim? Here the FSR family, it
is two pros and a cup of joe here on
five Network Radio. Hey, by the way, I was gonna
ask this, is it possible? Is it possible not coming back?
(28:21):
Is it possible that Shamar Stewart of the Bengals could
go back to college? Because that was kind of kicked
around yesterday y'all.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
You know, QB having all the answers for this type stuff.
I'm curious to hear your your explanation on this because
if it is, that is a game changer.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, he can't as it currently stands based on NCAA
rules because he signed with a contract agent, not an
NIL agent, which they have made differentiations for that. So
based on that information or what's written, he couldn't. But
he definitely could challenge this. And if you look at
the track record of the NCAA and they have struggled
(29:03):
of late to win anything in court. So I think
there's a thought that Shamar Stewart could do this because
the NCAA has been so pitiful and defending its stance
on why they've invented many of these rules, and this
being another one where if they've already got representation at
a lower level, and it's not really that different. Since
(29:24):
these young men heading into this year and young women
for that matter, are going to be getting paid for
their play. It's not NIL, they're being paid by the university,
it's going to throw a wrench in the entire argument
why he shouldn't be able to come back. So I
think there's a case to be made. I think if
he wanted to use this as leverage against the Cincinnati Bengals, which,
(29:47):
if I'm not mistaken, though, they would still have the
rights to him, I believe, even if he did go
back to Texas A and M for another year, but
this would allow him to play football, earn more money
and il by going back. I'm not sure how much
is left over there down in College station after they've allocated,
(30:07):
whether they've allocated for this upcoming season, but I would
imagine coach Mike Elco would welcome them with open arms.
But I think there's a possibility. I think there's a
case to be made if things go south, but I
personally don't think it's going to go that direction. I
really do think this is just him and his agent
trying to use this as leverage. And I'll remind people
(30:28):
how ridiculous this situation is. All Shamar Stewart's asking for
is the same language that the pick last year for
the Bengals in the first round got as well. It's
the Bengals who are trying to set a new precedent
with a change in some of the language within their contract,
which would be the change not what the player and
(30:48):
not what the agent is asking for it.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
So can we go back? Can we go back to
one point?
Speaker 12 (30:53):
You may?
Speaker 6 (30:54):
I don't want to get too far away from it,
don't it You said they would still own his rights,
because there's a couple questions that come to mind for me. One,
what do the Bengals do if they don't have their
first round draft pick playing for the entire year based
off of this?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
That would be one?
Speaker 6 (31:13):
And then two, What good is it if you go
back and they own your rights? Because to me, my
whole thing is if we couldn't make it.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Work now.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
And where am I at in my contract, I'm not
going to get credited for another year if I come back.
If I come back and you have my rights for
this year, it didn't count towards me getting closer to
getting a veteran deal. That's to me, that's very counterproductive.
If I'm the player that doesn't seem to play in
(31:43):
his favor, he's going to make more money than what
he would make going back to school.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
If you went back, I'd be.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
If I'm going back, I'm going back into the draft
like somebody else draft me that's going to pay me,
versus you still own my rights?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
How would that work?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
So he would just get paid you know, two three
million whatever somebody wanted to pay him at the college level,
which would be more than he'd make if he decided
to opt out of the entire season. Uh, they would
still have his rights the next year because they have
you know, haven't been able to work out a deal.
The would most likely be a trade involved. So you know,
that's most likely how that scenario would work, or would
work out at least. Again, we're talking a lot of
(32:24):
kind of hypotheticals here, things that really played out the store.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
But that's where we live right now, right we live
in a hypothetical world.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
But I hope it happens what this is all created with.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I think it would be don't hold your breath. I
don't think it's going to.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I know, but I just the idea of Cincinnati doing
this while all the guys asking for is exactly what
you did one year prior. And then ultimately the guy
said prior years like guy says, f this, I'm going
back to college, Like I just I want to live
in that world to see what the reaction is.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well then and then you even add into the fact
that this is your first round pick to replace the
guy that you don't want to pay in Trey Hendrickson.
And so now it makes a look at the Angles
organization and the other one retired?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
What is what is plan C?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Sincey, yeah, I got a plan since it just it's uh,
that's that's crazy, but hey, it's a Bengals Man and
Nicol and Diame all the way.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
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 a m.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Eastern three am Pacific. There are traditions on this show,
and one of those is the man who joins us next.
He is the old pe on social media. He is
Petros Papadakis, the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM five seventy
l A Sports Fox college football analysts and our good
(33:55):
buddy p How are we feeling here in a wind?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Good morning? Hello?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Hello Brady? Hello LeVar, Hello.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Hello Recula.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
So Black and Drack has been retired now, you know, wow,
it's back to Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
now he's a cup of Joe, not a cup of
Drack anymore. Yeah, yeah, all right, fair enough, Yeah, there's that.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
So here I am so uh Petros, your thoughts on
the All Star Game last night were you were you
okay with the swing off to conclude things or well,
I mean it's not really a conclusion, right, It's not
really a fair way to lose or win a baseball game.
Of course, you could say the same probably for the
way they decide a World Cup soccer game, you.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Know, when they do the shootout.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
But I will say this for any criticism of the
MLB All Star Game, and there always is, it's exponentially
better than any other All Star game there is. We
obviously don't do the Pro Bowl anymore, and it just
went away, and the NBA All Star Game nearly wreck
(35:11):
the whole league this year. They had to orchestrate the
Luca trade just to get people to stop talking about
how much it sucked. And so whatever the warts were
last night and the swing off and this and that,
it was still a it was still really compelling. I mean,
it's a little awkward listening to the announcers talk to
the guys during the game, but also pretty compelling. Watching
(35:35):
Kershaw Hitch Wally talked to the guys in the booth
was very interesting. So overall, it's a way better product,
and because of the nature of the sport, yes, but
it's a way better product than any of the other
quote unquote All Star games or things like that.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
That we have.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
So I thought it was a pretty American p No,
I wouldn't say that. I mean, what's more American? What's
more American than the Baseball All Star Game? The home
run Prime Day?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
We're sitting in the world of sports, like, is there
anything more American than some dude just saying I'm gonna
launch every ball I can't over the fence.
Speaker 12 (36:19):
We have the hot dog eating contest. Probably that was
what I brought up.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
That's too.
Speaker 12 (36:25):
Yeah, it is a sport, and that is the most
American display of excess that we could possibly put on.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
So Joey Chestnut, Joey Chestnut is a great apple, He's
the standard.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Yeah, you know, he's upset because he doesn't think competitive
eating is respected the way it should be.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
I I do think that it is.
Speaker 12 (36:46):
That it is great and it's an American thing, and
baseball obviously has a very special place in all of
our hearts, usually from our upbringing or watching our kids
played Little League or or or whatever. But yeah, I
thought it was a way better. It's a way better
product than what anybody else is putting on.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
For an All Star game.
Speaker 12 (37:05):
And when they run into a tie, yeah that's a problem.
And the problem is because of the fact that they
don't really let the managers manage to win the game,
right they use everybody. It's a lot of fresh pitchers,
and because of that, usually it's a pretty low scoring game.
Last night it didn't end up that way, and it
(37:26):
was fun. But if they would let the managers manage
to win the game, then they would have pitchers left
and we could see what would actually happen down the
stretch if they went into extra innings. I mean, they
put a guy on second base anyway, it's not like
it's going to last that long. But pitching has become
so specialized and such a crazy thing. And each of
(37:47):
these guys have like two Tommy John's by the time
they're twenty five, So I also understand that that part
of it. But I thought it was a good game,
and I thought it was enjoyable and obviously it's put
on by one of our employers, Fox, so uh, that's
always that's always interesting to watch because we know a
lot of the people involved.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
So way to go, Atlanta. No Freaknick.
Speaker 12 (38:10):
There was a real it was a real Freaknick vibe though, yeah,
with with Ludacris and uh and and Jermaine Dupree and
the other Atlanta. I was watching it on mute because
I was doing the show. But that looked like a
fun deal. I do wish Ludacris would have worn his
(38:31):
big arms.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
The original Freaknicks though.
Speaker 12 (38:34):
Well yeah, well, the original Freaknick is a whole other
thing which got which got canceled, saturating the town.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Uh wow.
Speaker 12 (38:41):
Freaknick was a gigantic like spring break party in Atlanta
based on the historical Black universities, and they would all
come together in Atlanta much like people would out Yeah,
Daytona Beach or Palm Springs in the eighties or South
Padre Island. It was like that, but Freaknick. But it
(39:01):
was it was canceled. They got rid of Freaknick, which
is too bad. It happened a long time ago, like
twenty years ago as well. But I do wish Ludicrous
wore his big arms, you know, the big ass arms
that he likes to wear.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
That would have been more fun. But he did not.
He had his normal arms.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Speaking of big arms, we had a conversation earlier. P.
I'm curious to to what your opinion would be.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Do you believe in.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Measuring and weighing, you know, in terms of breeding, you know,
like having your kids like.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Oh, the Osiris aman On. I met that whole family
when they.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
Were all well, I think the oldest one was at
Notre Dame, but they were all still in high school.
I was speaking at a banquet and I met that
entire family, mom, dad, and the kids.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
I have pictures with him, so I heard what he said. Yes,
but what the question? I'm sorry, LeVar.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
Oh well, I'm just saying, did you take that into
consideration when you were no no in the dating pool
or anything like that? How I did too? How did
you get to where you got to with your wife?
Was it based off of looks? Was it just based
off of all we were friends since we were kids,
like SAand Bucks.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
That I would say just the traditional attraction between a
man and a woman.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Okay, but you.
Speaker 12 (40:25):
Know Michael Thompson, who's Klay Thompson's dad, and Mikey, and
they got one more that played baseball for the Dodgers.
It's early in the month.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Oh yeah, Trace.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, Trace, there you go. Sorry about that, A long
swing struck out a lot.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
But but Michael Thompson, who was a big time NBA
player and a champion with the Lakers and a superstar
at Minnesota Behavian man, very tall.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
He he was very vocal about the stock of his wife,
who is like a large athletic volleyball type from I
believe the Northwest area where he was drafted. And obviously,
you know, three kids who played high level sports and
(41:17):
Klay Thompson who's made life changing riches playing in the NBA,
and he talked about it.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
So but you know he's dating the Stallion right now.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Too, Megan V. Stallion.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Yeah. I'm not sure how great that.
Speaker 12 (41:33):
Is for anybody to deal with if you're Klay Thompson,
but I hope they have a wonderful relationship and it
bears great fruit. It just feels like it feels like
an unnecessary burden, you know, when all anybody wants to
do is stare at your girlfriend's ass, and that's all
(41:56):
you have on Instagram is like, here's my girlfriend's ass,
and here's a little picture of me in the like
where's waldor he?
Speaker 4 (42:01):
You know, like, come on, man, anyway, good for him.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
You actually are taking like the exact opposite approach of
mister Brown. You are actually saying there are certain attributes
you would stay away from because I'd be a burden
for you later on in life.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
I wouldn't say.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
It's just a a burden of attention, you know what
I mean? If you're Klay Thompson, you know you do
you need to date a rapper who's more popular than you. Maybe,
I mean, maybe that works out. Maybe I shouldn't even
speak on it, but you guys asked.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Me about it.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
So I mean somebody's BBL stunk and he walked away
from it. I mean, you know, it could always end
up bad for you in these situations.
Speaker 12 (42:41):
Everything, everything could always end up bad in every situation.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 12 (42:45):
I just find I just find the Instagram, you know,
like how you debut your relationship, Like here she is standing.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
There, look at the ass.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
It's just like every other Instagram post she's ever made,
except this one's got half of Klay Thompson's face in
the back.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
You know.
Speaker 12 (43:01):
It's like, come on anyway, good for them, I'm happy
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Got a VW bug for an ass everybody about show.
Speaker 12 (43:08):
I saw on Instagram or or Twitter the other day,
like a picture of Travis Kelsey when he.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Was dating the Black Chick.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Oh yeah, you know, the good old days.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
Yeah, I mean he clearly was looking at genetics there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah, good old days when he was more open minded.
Speaker 12 (43:23):
Yeah, and he was looking like he was he looked
like I mean, the Twitter caption says, this guy looks
like he sells vape cartridges at the back of a
liquor store. And then you know, and then he's with
Taylor Swift and he's got like the floppy nineties hair,
different the real like the real like contented white man's smile,
(43:45):
and it's just like, my god, you know, now he
looks like you know, now he looks like one of
the guys in Charmed who's like trying to date Piper
Paraboo or somebody.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
You know.
Speaker 12 (43:56):
It's it is quite a transition, and we are a
product star around. No, I don't I h Shannon Doerny's
not with us anymore. No, Shannon Dorney died a couple
maybe a year or two ago. She had a long
battle with cancer. And then you have a list of
Milan to remember that who seems to have lost her mind.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
And then there's the other girl.
Speaker 12 (44:17):
Her name was Prue on the show, it's not Piper Parabou,
and then Rose McGowan. I mean, Charmed was a terrible show.
But what happens is if you watch, like during the
NBA season, it comes on after right, you watch T
and T all night, it's on.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
The It's in the studios every single night we get
there because you know the yesterday up the next day.
Yeah yeah, it's just finishing up into our time slot.
Speaker 12 (44:42):
So it's you get to see all the weird, bad
witchcrafts before CGI.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Which is also terrible.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
Yeah, it's very true.
Speaker 12 (44:52):
Yeah, that's what Kelsey looks like, one of the floppy
nineties hair sweater wearing dudes on Charmed.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Now, so Petros, now that we're at the all star break,
is this really where from a show standpoint, you guys
can slap it up, because now, wow, there's no baseball.
There's no real significant sporting event that's on right now.
So now you can really get in the mud, so
(45:17):
to speak, with something.
Speaker 12 (45:17):
Yeah, but foot as you guys talk about all the time,
like football is right on top of us now, and really,
to me, post NFL season, pre Baseball season, like that
big stretch of four hour shows, that's a harder time,
you know, to be like, oh, well we got the
Clippers today, what do we got going on? You know,
that's a harder time in my work year calendar than
(45:42):
All Star Week.
Speaker 4 (45:43):
All Star Week.
Speaker 12 (45:44):
You know, people are on vacation, different people are in
and out, which makes things a little less stagnant. And
I have to go to do some media day action
this week, So where's going. I got to go to
Vegas so to deal with the last gasp. I mean
every year I go to Vegas, it gets worse. Three
years ago, one year or so, Brady get goes out there.
(46:08):
But three years ago I was there for the last
gasp of the Pac twelve. Remember that dinner at Allegiate
Stadium with all the coaches.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Yeah, it was it was rather uncomfortable.
Speaker 12 (46:23):
It was one of the more uncomfortable like it was.
It was so weird. You know, it was like be
at a funeral. That's the only thing I can compare
it to. Yeah, I mean, you know, Chip, Kelly, Kyle
Whittingham and we were all on a bus together, like
it was just it was just weird. And everybody's just
sitting there staring at each other like, yeah, you guys
are collapsing. What you're gonna do?
Speaker 4 (46:44):
You know?
Speaker 12 (46:45):
And then last year was Big twelve Media Day in
Vegas along with the Mountain West and then the weird
Oregon State Washington State packed to Piggyback Cocktail Fest at
the Belagie. Know that I walked out of very early
because like, to me, it.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Says they got a cocktail hour. That's well.
Speaker 12 (47:08):
To be honest, that's all I wanted, was like a
middle shelf whiskey. Like I'm not a I'm not a
difficult person, you know, I mean, just Maker's mark or
bullet or bubb uh Buffalo trace or something. But they
only had Jim Beam, Like they were serving well drinks
and We're at the Bollagio and Merton Hanks was standing
there looking all mean like a bouncer, and I was
(47:29):
just like, what are we doing? And then Yogi Roth
got up to be the speaker, and I just I've.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Backed out of the room. Uh so, but usually I
end up. Wait, did yog give a eulogy?
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Like what?
Speaker 4 (47:43):
No? Nobody?
Speaker 12 (47:43):
He gave the speech like to pump up Washington State
in Oregon State, like, hey, come on over here, Jake Dickert,
let's talk about Washington State. You know, Washington State ended
up having a really they had such a good year
that the whole team got dismantled and coach left, the coordinator.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Left, that's the quarterback left.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
You know, they're all at Oklahoma and waiting for I'll
tell you what the next pack to media Day. All right,
well that's the thing that puably well enough, you guys
would be somewhere else next year.
Speaker 12 (48:10):
Well last year, PAC two Mountain West. You know, they're
on each other's schedule. Everybody's happy, everybody's free, keep the
big door open. And then like three weeks into the season, bang,
now you're suing each other and the PAC two is
poaching all of the Mountain West teams, and the Mountain
West is all upset, so they are not collaborating.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
On media Day this year.
Speaker 12 (48:29):
And then this is like everybody's suing each other media
day because you got San Diego State, Utah State, Fresno State,
all these states leave Colorado State, you know, all these
teams leaving the the conference. So it'll be awkward. But
you know, my, that's the thing the art. We've talked
about it a whole bunch. In college football, the offseason
(48:52):
has become incredibly awkward and not a fun topic to discuss.
You know, you're talking about litigation, congress stuff that the NFL,
the NBA, all these other leagues seem to handle really
well because they have usually one person in charge and
they know how to.
Speaker 4 (49:10):
Orchestrate their offseason.
Speaker 12 (49:12):
I always thought that college football would be headed for
more uniformity in this modern era where it's a big
money grab, But I don't think ESPN and Fox can
get along well enough to make it happen, and the
NCAA has no power, So we're.
Speaker 4 (49:29):
Just more and more confused in our sport and.
Speaker 12 (49:33):
Just begging, just clawing for the games to start because
everything else sucks so bad, and all the conversation, you know,
all the transfers and the portal and the money, and
the coaches complaining about the nil and you know, universities
laying people off and all of these different stories that
(49:53):
we have to deal with. It's just not fun. So
at least we're getting closer to the game part. But
I will report next week on how awkward it was
this this time around.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
We'll see And is this for Mountain West or Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (50:08):
Mountain West?
Speaker 12 (50:09):
Where Big Ten's got to be in Chicago or something
this year?
Speaker 3 (50:12):
No, it's Vegas, Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Oh where Vegas?
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Next week? Okay, you're gonna miss Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
It'll be out in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
Well, i'll warm up the city for you with with
thank or vel. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, Big Ten's at mad Yeah, Manley got the Big Ten.
And so the Mountain West is at Circa.
Speaker 12 (50:34):
Circa is where we hang out, which I do actually
like interesting. Although you know you haven't seen you don't
know what life is like until you've seen Timmy Chang
with two tall boys.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I was what happened last year when you tried to
talk to him about the program?
Speaker 12 (50:48):
No no, I asked him a very simple question, Do
you get the support you need from the university Petros
I'd have to say, no, you guys don't know what
it's like down in the drags with me. But anyway,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (51:06):
You?
Speaker 12 (51:06):
I'm going sit in Mountain West Media Day and listen
to Bronco menden Hall's problem.
Speaker 4 (51:11):
I walked.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
I walked through the same pack too cocktail hour you
were at, all right, for maybe for less time than
you were there.
Speaker 5 (51:17):
I was there.
Speaker 6 (51:18):
You live less than ten minutes away from me and
probably use the same street I use to get out
of where you live, and I haven't seen you yet.
I don't talk about being like you're in the the
you know, the big high end.
Speaker 12 (51:32):
Just I'm talking about my college football coverage world.
Speaker 6 (51:35):
And all right, I just figured it gave me an
opportunity to take a shot at you, because you really
haven't said, like, let's go get a whiskey together.
Speaker 12 (51:43):
I am not generally available, Okay, clearly, of course I'll
have a whiskey with you, LeVar, and whatever you want,
I'll beat you at the bullpen. All right, Okay, but
you know you're going to be very popular. Everybody's going
to try to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (51:59):
No, no, no, I'm goa I move around.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
You know I've been I've been petross. How long will
you be?
Speaker 5 (52:03):
In days?
Speaker 4 (52:04):
For not long, okay, just for the day I liked. Okay, gotcha,
I don't. Yeah. Yeah. Flying to Vegas is is stupid.
Speaker 12 (52:16):
From here, you know where you sit on the tarmac
for a half hour both ways around you go jsx bro.
Speaker 4 (52:22):
Flight takes an hour. You got to sit there and
figure out the.
Speaker 5 (52:25):
Car JSX BRO.
Speaker 4 (52:28):
I don't even know what that stands for jet sweet
x that's sweet.
Speaker 5 (52:31):
Yeah, No, I hate that.
Speaker 12 (52:33):
Why because I just want to listen to my book
on tape and be left alone. And when I'm done,
I want to walk down to the car and drive away.
Speaker 5 (52:40):
That's the perfect Okay.
Speaker 12 (52:41):
One of the great things that ever happened to me
is I was doing the Mountain West Championship game years
ago because Spencer Tillman got COVID and it was the
COVID thing.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Where the stadiums were empty and the whole deal, and uh,
you know, we.
Speaker 12 (52:54):
Had all these precautions and and all this, and then
the game's over and I hugged Tim Brando and that
it turns out he had COVID. But uh, get me
a cold Timmy, be the tame petros, Get me a prosecco.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
Oh, come on, it's Cranberry vodka.
Speaker 12 (53:12):
No, I've got the dude, I've I've gone to the
bar and fetched a few proseccos over the years for
Timmy b Oh.
Speaker 3 (53:18):
Trust me, I was you forget I worked with them. Hey,
old young young man, why do you run down to
the bar get me two Cranberry vodkas.
Speaker 12 (53:25):
I know who you worked with. I know where LeVar lives.
It's like everybody's sitting here trying to educate me.
Speaker 6 (53:31):
No, I wasn't trying to educate you. I was trying
to shame you, actually, because I you know, I need outlets.
I would listen to your audio book with you. We
could sit there, hot Box. You would not listen to
your Yeah, I would. You'd be surprised. You would be
trying to share the fun.
Speaker 4 (53:48):
Still the bar, it's only got fourteen more hours. It's
a good.
Speaker 6 (53:54):
If we hot Box and we're going to be laughing
while we enjoy your fourteen hour book.
Speaker 12 (53:58):
My guy, I I what we were talking about, Timmy
b Oh.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yeah. So, but we did the game.
Speaker 12 (54:06):
We called the game, and you know it's empty Samboyd Stadium,
Boising State versus San Jose State empty Stadium on Big
Fox Games over walk down into the car and just
leave Vegas, just straight empty parking lot back on the
(54:27):
fifteen glorious. You know to me that you know that
kind of escape. I mean, you know what it's like, Brady.
Every meeting you've ever had before, every football game you've
ever been involved in, the first fifteen minutes of the
meeting are about the escape.
Speaker 4 (54:43):
How the hell do we get out of here?
Speaker 12 (54:45):
Who's driving which car, who's going to the airport, who's
bringing the rental car back to the thing. I mean
that that is priceless. So to me, being able.
Speaker 5 (54:54):
To get right back on the fifty rental cars.
Speaker 6 (54:57):
D oh yeah, I prefer Papa dak has uses rental cars.
Speaker 4 (55:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (55:02):
But if you're if you're you know, traveling, you know
that usually there's like a team of rental cars, you know,
to bring me to the people.
Speaker 5 (55:10):
From rental cars, is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (55:12):
No, that's Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
What's great about a rental car with Brady is that
if you go to Keenland and you got to catch
a flight right afterwards, we'll just leave the car wherever
and just say, all right, I can.
Speaker 3 (55:27):
Hold on in in my defense or our defense, we
got Basically, our flight kept getting delayed, and it was
to the point where there was a couple of guys who, uh,
they seem like some wise guys, if you know what
I mean, and they were going to find us a
flight down to Dallas. I think I'd be like four
worth or something. But all I remember was we kept
(55:48):
getting delayed, delayed, delayed. So Jonah sides, you kind of
kept hanging out, drinking and watching the horse races. So
one thing led to another. We may or may not
have lost track of time. There might have there might
have been an element if we lost our car. We
didn't know where he parked amongst that in Keenland, and
so we were in a bit of a rush. Yeah,
and then we used to get back to the car.
Speaker 2 (56:10):
Then we got there and we couldn't understand what the
guy was saying, like he had like four teeth and
straight like, and we asked him like, hey, where do
we where do we park the car?
Speaker 4 (56:23):
What?
Speaker 2 (56:24):
And we had no asked him two or three times
and finally just went and parked.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
Over to the I parked. It was like, someone will
figure this out. This is not one of the world's
greatest problems.
Speaker 12 (56:35):
When when I was first starting to travel in college football.
There were always stories where they you know, they left
that car at the strip, mall.
Speaker 4 (56:41):
I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 12 (56:42):
You know, here's a kiya, But I mean I used
to you know, before GPS and all that. You know,
they you get the plane to the prop plane to
Eugene and get in a rental car at like midnight,
and you know you're some wearing junction city between Corve
Allis and Eugene and the dark and hoping that some
(57:04):
guy in a flannel with an axe and a beard,
you know that.
Speaker 4 (57:07):
Doesn't rape me. Geez.
Speaker 5 (57:12):
That was a real concern.
Speaker 4 (57:14):
Actually, wise. Yeah, I used to think about it all
the time. I'm not even a Paul Budyon on the
West coast.
Speaker 5 (57:20):
Con advantage of me taking it from me.
Speaker 12 (57:23):
You don't know what it's like there, Brady, between corn
Allison and Eugene.
Speaker 4 (57:28):
True, it ain't Portland, definitely.
Speaker 3 (57:33):
It's in Portland.
Speaker 6 (57:38):
Petros is as far off the rails as we've ever been.
Speaker 12 (57:42):
No, I never thought we'd get a budget, but you
know where else it could happen, you know, it's like
Lewis and Idaho, Colefax Washington, you know, around Pullman.
Speaker 4 (57:55):
To worry about that?
Speaker 6 (57:56):
Were you listening to that fourteen hour book while you
were trying to avoid whole Bunyon.
Speaker 4 (58:02):
Back?
Speaker 12 (58:02):
You know, I don't know, this would be like twenty
years ago, so it was before I was listening to.
Speaker 4 (58:07):
Books on tape.
Speaker 12 (58:10):
Well, Petros, I think I just you know, spy sprayed
phone calls out to people I knew, Like, hey, why
don't you talk me through the ninety nine here in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (58:18):
I mean, Petros. If you're looking for something to listen
to you I can probably check out Lebron's podcast. But
let's enjoy the enjoy the drive to Vegas.
Speaker 12 (58:26):
I like to hear Steve Nash agree with everything he said,
and we'll do a podcast partner that didn't agree with
everything he said.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
Not for long, Petros. We appreciate it. We'll do it
again next week.
Speaker 4 (58:41):
Well, it's great to hear everybody back together. There.
Speaker 2 (58:45):
He is the old pon X, the co host of
the Petros and Money Showing, a Fox College Football analyst,
and our good buddy here every single Wednesday morning,
Is the best of two pros and a couple Joe
with Lamar arings and rating win and Jonas Knox on
Boxports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Boy, Oh boy, that was a heck of an All
Star game last night there. How do we feel about it? Ah?
Going out?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Uh, I was not aware of the home run derby
situation that happens at the end of the end of
the game to avoid extra innings. So that was new
to me. I'm like, okay, here we go. Yeah, I'm
making up rules as we go.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I don't think I don't think some of the people
involved were aware of it either, you know, looking around
the dugout going, Hey, where's a whe're are judging O
TAWNI all there at the airport? All right, so you
guys fill in and then they try and spin it
afterwards as well. You know these were all predetermined before
the game. Oh yeah. So Dave Roberts who said yestours,
I just told him a few minutes ago he was
(00:53):
going to be a part of this. Like it's look,
it's an exhibition. It's not that big of a deal.
But let's like, you know, get the story straight before
we run with those That's what it feels like.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
To me.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
But that's not exaggeration by the way either. Like those guys,
as soon as they were done, all right, boys, see
out there the field.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I mean, they are out of there.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
There's no reason to hang around to like watch the
rest of these seven or eight innings of the All
Star Games. So that is a true story. They actually
dip more often than not.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Did you bail at the Pro Bowls?
Speaker 5 (01:25):
As Wow, you didn't hear me? That's you know. I
just I'll defer to you guys on that.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
One, because well, extra innings. I would have needed to
do the regular innings to to be able to do
the extra innings. So there you go. Well I heard
it was pretty good though.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well I'm saying, I'm saying what I heard.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Did you know we're talking about though? Well, uh no,
I didn't. Well, no, I played. I played in the
Pro Bowl. I know you played play. But I'm saying, like,
did you bail out after something else? I don't know
because I heard exactly are we we talked? Because some
(02:07):
things I might have bailed on, some things I might
have stayed in there, you know, I don't know, depending
on I remember hearing the story for the party, I.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Remember hearing a story that Troy Aikman left mid game,
like he left at halftime of the Pro Bowls.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Like, yeah, that's okay, So so that is what you
guys are saying now, I don't. I never bailed in
the game. In fact, I played every play. Like some
guys started playing in the second half. I was out
there head hunting in the first half, first quarter, I was.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I was out there. Yeah, I was hunting.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I'm talking about yeah, but you know it, definitely you
could tell that. Like I remember distinctly one time I
hit Corey Dillon and he he was really upset at me,
like why are Why would you hit me that hard?
Speaker 5 (02:54):
You know?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
And I didn't play against Corey Dillon in regular season,
So any time you know I'm out there, I'm out
there like I'm out there playing for keeps in the
Pro Bowl. So yeah, I don't know, I didn't. I
didn't leave. But guys definitely, you know, when we got
to the second half, they're like, man, you know, you
(03:15):
start looking around and dudes is like, hey, you know
I got eight people here, Well I have fifteen, I
have twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well what are you going to do? We're going to
play some ball? Let's get that.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Let's get that win the game check, you know, And
so guys would play in the second half. But I
was already warmed up because I came out ready to
play in the first quarter, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, so you stuck around, you didn't You didn't head
to the airport like some of these guys did last night.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
No, no, But I thought you were talking about like
dating my dating life, you know, like if we're talking
about dating, because I was a serial dater at the
Pro Bowl, you know, serial dater.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Oh yeah, what exactly that?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Well, you know, you go to the Pro Bowl, you
date and what whoever you date there is it began
and it ends.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Meet by the torch at midnight. Let's see what happened.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Yeah, and sometimes you bailed out on the dating and
ended up dating someone out or someone else, and and
then possibly you stayed in it while you was.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
In you know, you know, in Honolulu, you know.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Or waki Ki, like you stayed in you know, for
for the duration.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Well, I don't know if those guys went to go
date anybody else.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I don't know, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
So I got a little confused on the lingo, you know,
what I mean, bailing out staying in. There were a
couple that I was good with staying in with. There
was a couple that I bailed out on, and you know,
I just had to continue to date a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
That's all I know.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Do you guys know it was fun? Did you guys?
Do you have an issue with the fact that some
players might have left early and just said we're out
of here, even though it's, you know, Baseball's biggest stage,
the Midsummer Times funny?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Actually to me, I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Is it really Baseball's biggest stage.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, you know, it's where all their stars are all
in one place. Yeah, but it's all their stars in
one place there. It's it's for the fans. And you know,
these guys gave a couple of innings and are like,
all right, we'll see you.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
We're good here.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Nice. I mean, I don't have an issue with it,
but I could understand that there's some people that look
at that and go, no, you should stick around for
the duration. Like you're playing one hundred and sixty two games,
you get a few days off. I get them wanting
to be like, all right, I need some time. They
go through the whole spectacle, the introduction to all that stuff,
(05:50):
and then they jam and then afterwards it's just funny,
you know, people trying to give you the messaging that,
oh no, it's all predetermined lineup, so you know, not
really like if it was, they're probab would have been
some other hitters out there. But it was still a
fun game, fun game, and the rule.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
Of them were my hitter. I was a hitter that
was out there. You know, I was out there. But
baseball is a little different.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
I mean I heard about how dugouts, you know, or
how the bullpen works or whatever, like don't they be
hanging out like in the clubhouse and stuff like that
until it's necessary.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Like I just feel like the rules.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Of engagement maybe are a little bit different, Like maybe
a game of baseball is a tad bit more casual
and approach than maybe what football would have been. Is
that is that fair to say. I'm not a baseball guy,
so I don't, but I mean, from what I could gather,
it is a very very relaxed environment if you're not
(06:49):
on the field, which I feel like it's kind of
relaxed on the field too, a little bit because you know,
you got to wait for somebody to hit it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Pretty you were a Paul Schemes back in the day throwing.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Know that I was ever Paul Skins, by the way,
But I will say this, watching him pitch, I was like,
this is probably this generation's version of Nolan Ryan's.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, boy, is.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
That too big of a statement, only because I don't
know that he throws as hard as Nolan Ryan did? Like,
does he does?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Does he?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I feel like Nolan Ryan topped out of like one
oh four. I don't am I making stuff up at
this point.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know if he threw that hard.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
But he got arm he got his arm end up
getting shredded.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, he pitched.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
He's forty four, forty five, he pitched forever. Dang, that's
gonna be one of the biggest differences. But the thing
about understand how fast that is. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The thing about Skins is there's been some speculation will
the Pirates trade him? Because you know, he's such a
premier talent that everybody would love to have on their team.
And the Pirates clearly and so well, they they're clearly
not going anywhere. They don't have enough to build around him.
Last night was the second time in his career that
(08:03):
he's been on a team that scored more than one
run in the first inning. He gets no run support.
He gets none in Pittsburgh, and so the thought is
he's kind of wasting away there for lack of a
better term, not having any ability to advance anywhere, to
go anywhere for it. And you know, the Pirates are
going to want to try and keep him as long
as they can, but at some point you got at
(08:24):
least kick the tires on a trade. And they've traded
top stars before. That's been their history, especially over recent years.
I mean, just to think about what you would.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Have traded Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla of them.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They trade everybody like if they've got a star, like with.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
That group too in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Doug Drey back, all those guys.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I mean, that was that talk about a loaded team
that didn't do it? Nuh yeah, interesting, But Skeens.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I did watch baseball back then.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
I was a fan of the Pirates.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I watched Willie Stargel you remember now big time?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, yeah, big Lily Stargel guy.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Here's the Nolan Ryan update. By the way, His fastest
recorded pitch was officially one hundred point nine miles per
hour in nineteen seventy four. However, the way pitch speed
was measured back then was different than today's methods. There's
some estimates say they would be measured in today's standards
at around one hundred and eight one hundred and eight.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Jeez, that's still crazy fast.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
So they've got fastball inflation. One hundred and eight miles
an hour.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
That would have been It would have been faster, faster
because the way they measured one hundred and nine.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
You imagine trying to hit one away one.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Hundred point nine like one o one oh okay.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He imagine trying to hit one aweight like what do
you do? What's the point?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
It's gone, isn't it? I mean a hundred is gone.
How do you even see one hundred and eight? That's
like literally a bullet, right, geez, that's out there shooting
a burner?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, he was, he was.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
This is crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So do you know how they do? You know how
they actually clock uh pictures speed nowadays versus how they
used to remember, No, it's not, but that's how they
used to do it. They'd set up the radar agun
like ten feet behind or ten feet in front of
home plate, and that's how they'd measure it. But the
problem is the ball at that point was decelerating. So
(10:30):
that's why the estimate that actually in today's standards, where
they actually measure the speed of the ball off the
pitcher's hand, which is its fastest point, that's why they
estimate that it'd be one hundred and eight versus about
one hundred and one.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Guys today throw so hard in Major League Baseball, it's
you you're going to see somebody come out of a
bullpen on a rock. Like there's teams that have two
three on a rocket shot. They're throwing one hundred out
of the gates, one hundred two, one hundred three. That
guy Misowski for the Brewers clocks in it at one
(11:05):
o two regularly like it's just a common occurrence. And
then they wonder why some of these guys there's like
the arm injuries, and those issues have popped up and
more teams have dealt with it. It's why the Dodgers
keep blowing through a lot of guys and their rotation.
Otani threw over one hundred this year, like he clocked
in at over one hundred, So everybody's throwing hard these days.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
If you were the American right the most, like you
hit the ball right and you you throw that baseball
as far as you can over that plate. The most
American thing is a deep ball, an explosive play, and.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's fun, but it's not the most American people play.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
People play baseball abroad.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
It's to the point, though, is America's game?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, but Levart's to the point though, to where if
you throw over one oh two, when the all hits
the catcher's mitt, red white and blue smoke pops out
like it is, do you.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Get to the quarterback? That's the most American thing? Like defense, Hello,
there's there's here's the problem. Here's the problem. There's too
many intricacies or details along the way, like your.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Move, your rush, what you got to do to get
by the guy.
Speaker 6 (12:21):
The whole thing. This is semantics. This is simple.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
There's no semantics in me stepping back and just ripping
one across the plate at one hundred and four miles.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
When you put your body on a Brady Quinn and
he goes down to the ground and you hear that
when you.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Hit here's the worst part is your first Your first.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
Example was the American, which I would be able to
tell you, and that's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Playing both sports, there's nothing more. There's nothing more American
than just ripping one past the dude on the mound,
walking off.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Ask spit spin towards that other dugout.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
So what's up?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Ask one of those fans, where'd you get your weapons?
I cut down a tree in the backyard and made
it myself. Come on, man, serious, I'm telling you. And
you know, the best part to all this talk about, Hey,
you know you gotta all this talk about you got
to stay away from tobacco. You gotta you gotta be
careful of that stuff. Guys are still walking around with
(13:24):
rocks in their mouth.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I mean football games.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Hello, I think it's Zen's now, right, isn't everyone the Zen?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
You know?
Speaker 5 (13:33):
I tried. I tried like two of those the other
day with Mike.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Body body your age, or he's a little younger than you,
mighty mighty younger than Yeah, he's younger than you. Yeah,
you know from the uh the team that stayed him
and Zortage and all those guys that stayed when O'Brien
was at and O'Brien was after you came out, right,
Joe was still coaching when you were in college.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Joe, So yeah, yeah, yeah, he was still there. So
you New York and mighty's a little younger than you,
but he was young.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
What would he being on the sidelines when he was
at in something?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Pooh, Joe, Joe, Hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Get him out there?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What is it?
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Hey, what is it doing?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Get him mad at?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll send you on a train, I send you back
on the bus you came from. I send you back, Hey,
telling him, I send him back.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
They can't do that these days.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
You say that, first of all, you didn't bring me
here on a train or on a bus. I got that,
n I l money. I came in a hell Cat
or you know, one of them joints he'd be driving.
That is crazy seeing the parking lot of a college,
a college parking lot.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
These days, bro, it is a car show, like you would.
Why are there so many hell Cats?
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Why is that the car?
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know? You know, I don't know. I do not know.
It's a great question. I do not know.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
And well they're upgrading these days, man, Like I'm seeing
a whole lot more Mercedes Benzes too, and they're like
all kinds of different colors and stuff like that, Like
they really be tricking these riots out.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Man.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I don't know, man, but hell Cat you hear them
as soon as practice over, you know, it's over. Like
when I'm up there now and I'm doing the show
and guys are coming and going, you could hear like
twenty thirty cars like just hell Cats just turning on
and rolling out, and everybody wants you to hear their
tires and all that stuff. So, I don't know, man,
(15:43):
but hell Cat is almost like the vehicle of choice
for college athletes.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
I don't know. I don't know. Have you ever driven one?
Speaker 6 (15:53):
No, Yeah, I've driven an SRT before, but I've never
driven a hell Cat.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I don't you know. I don't know. I'm here a challenge,
it's not that, yeah, just not hell Cat. Yeah, I
don't I don't know, man. I like muscle though.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
I got I got some old school muscle cars, you know,
I got I got six one uh six, three six four,
And Paula got some Lincoln uh Lee.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Behind the scenes, trying to figure out his whole camera
situation is like entertaining it in and of itself.

I'll be honest with you, I just distract. There are
so many links that have been sent out. I don't
know which one to click.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Here.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
On Fox Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn Jonas knocks
with You Lead to Lap has one sock on, and
I'm not really sure why I don't see any see
that he's walking around. He was walking around with one
sock on.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Beerooes on.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
He's one step closer to homeless as.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
He really is.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
We're watching a morph into a homeless person. By the way.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
He d confrontations with the homeless today.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
By the way, that's.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
That that's at least superpower. Most people turned in Superman.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
It's like it's like an invisible cloak.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I had some it's a bird, it's a plane, it's
home bow Man.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
I had some interactions with the homeless yesterday.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
It was very I almost I almost threw down because
I still I almost like they saw.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
When you had a chance to and they took your stuff.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
And I still have some pent up. Yeah, I still
have some pent up anger about that. And I'm pretty
sure this guy who's been around in my neighborhood, he's
he's a number one culprit for I can't say he
was the guy who has my back, Dirty Mic and
the boys. He might be Dirty Mic. And he was
like doing Kung Fu moves and like sprinting. He was
doing forty yard sprints up and down the up and
(20:46):
down the boulevard. And I was walking the neighbor's dog
and he was like sprinting at.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Me and like eyeing me down. And I was like, oh,
give me a reason.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
And he was sprinting at you.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
He was sprinting at me, and then he'd sprint away
from me.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
And then did he sprint close enough for you to
kick him in the chest?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, he didn't. So it was just like pregame winner close.
It was just like pregame warm up. Yeah, I went
on your side of the field. Oh yeah, Oh yeah,
so bad I was. Yeah, So why why did you
let him take your sock?
Speaker 7 (21:18):
So so last night?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That the socks I gave you that guy Lee's sock
is that guy's wallet right now. He wore your ass
out in front of that dead dog.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
In his wallet. I'll tell you what he's using it for.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Yeah, hold my pocket?
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Why are you wearing one sock?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Though?
Speaker 2 (21:38):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Shoes?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Had no shoes?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
Well okay, so all right, this is embarrassing, but okay,
So it is one of the days where I woke
up in a panic super early for the show at
twelve thirty, and I ran out the door, and then
I realized, I was like, I was kind of an
hour earlier than I usually am, and so I went
back and I was like I could grab an extra
half hour of sleep, and then that resulted in me
(22:02):
over sleeping by an hour, and I ran out the
door and I couldn't find the other sock, so I
came in one sock, two shoes. I do have shoes,
but it's gross. It's gross. It's gross wearing shoes with
those socks. So right now, right now I'm just bare.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I wouldn't call it gross.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
I think it's gross. Well, depending on the shoe, it's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
There are some shoes that are made to not be
wore socks, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 11 (22:35):
Socks and sandals on this one. Yeah, if you smelled
Lee's feet, you would say you need to wear socks.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
And I think that's that's just poor that Yeah, I
think it would be bad if he has socks on too,
So it's bad.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I mean he's getting approached by bombs because they see
him and going, hey, he's one of us.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
It's like, you know how you can't like you? You
ever wonder why wildlife can get close to one another
but you can't.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
It's the smell. You ever need a hunter? And I
used to smell John Janssen.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
John Jansen used to come in from hunting to go
to meetings in the morning, and didn't you know, every
once in a while be too close. He cut it
to have to get to the meeting, so he didn't
take a shower before and shower off that stuff or
just couldn't get it off. But yeah, I mean you
got to smell like them in order to be able
(23:33):
to not be detected by them as danger at least
when he was running towards you so close.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, I thought he just thought you were one of
them in like their relay team, like the button, so
I thought he was.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
What is the baton?
Speaker 5 (23:49):
No participations? Like why is this guy acting like you
can't run?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
What is the baton? And aluminum can?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
What he was like a used needle got he had?
Speaker 7 (23:59):
Because I see this guy all the time.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
If he had the best outfit he's ever had on,
which was like a Komodo, like a silk Komodo on
running full sprints, and this guy's got like a dreads,
white dude with dreads.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
You had to preface that. Oh yeah I did post preface.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
Okay, yeah, yeah I do.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
I'm painting a picture here, white dude with dreads and
a Kimodo on doing full sprint, like doing a whole shake,
like gearing himself up and then just doing forty yard
sprints past the Zanku Chicken and the fresh back and forth, Oh,
in front of the Jiffy loop that I was so
famously shook down the other bump in front of Yeah,
(24:38):
and he and he was like coming at me and then.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
He was running.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
Super curious as to I've been watching Everyone Hates Chris.
Never watched it, always saw it around, But for some
reason Pim wanted to watch it the other day. She said,
looks like it's interesting, and we turned it on one
interesting one and entertaining show, super entertaining. I wonder if
(25:03):
they did Everybody Hates Lee, where Lee commentates the things
that go on in his day. Would that be Would
it be as interesting if we could see it play
out in content form.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I've never met it.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
It sounds crazy, outrage like just a regular day. Just
sounds really, really crazy outrageous to listen to when Lee.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Talks about it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I've never met anybody who's able to pack in more
dysfunction in a few hours in my entire life.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
I actually it's unbelievable. You admire it.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
The guy's getting in fights with bums and walking a
dog who's probably dad. I mean, you're walking if you're
walking around a stuffed animal at that point, the thing's
not going to live much longer, and somehow, some way,
like still still managing to kind of get all these
zoom links out mentioned.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
The personal Well, he barely some of these things are
a thread. I just I don't know, man, how can
you have that many crazy things happen during the course
of one day every day?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
I just don't.
Speaker 7 (26:18):
I don't at the.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Nation trips, trips to trips out of the country, like
multiple people in the situation, trips, Like I just don't
understand how all of these things can happen.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And you guys are all forgetting one thing. It's all
the prelude to delivery Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Dude.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
I'm looking forward to it. I need it. It's been
a long week already. What is it Tuesday? It's Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
It's Wednesday. Do you really need delivery Wednesday? I mean,
he said, you act like you take from drinking.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
Take up, take a Wednesday delivery off?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
What do you mean you said it's thunesday?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah, Well, what are you doing like that?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Lee shows up to A's like, I'll pick up anybody,
shift here, anybody anything I got you don't worry.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Well I was actually quite concerning. It really is quite
concerning the things we hear you say.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Lee.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
I mean we have talked about interventions like amongst us,
like we can do it right now.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
It might be time for intervention. Man, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Our show, who's gonna drink with me? If you stop drinking?
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Right for you too?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
You know, I don't I don't know. You know, I
don't know one socking in the studio, no shoes on.
Y're talking about the way his feet stink. I just
I don't know, man, I just feel like maybe that's
the last straw.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
If I were, if I were you at stand out
of that men's restroom, that's you think.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
Have you ever seen athletes foot it's not pretty much.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Well if you're gonna need a canoe to get through there,
so bad Aim bad Aim? Here the FSR family, it
is two pros and a cup of joe here on
five Network Radio. Hey, by the way, I was gonna
ask this, is it possible? Is it possible not coming back?
(28:21):
Is it possible that Shamar Stewart of the Bengals could
go back to college? Because that was kind of kicked
around yesterday y'all.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
You know, QB having all the answers for this type stuff.
I'm curious to hear your your explanation on this because
if it is, that is a game changer.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, he can't as it currently stands based on NCAA
rules because he signed with a contract agent, not an
NIL agent, which they have made differentiations for that. So
based on that information or what's written, he couldn't. But
he definitely could challenge this. And if you look at
the track record of the NCAA and they have struggled
(29:03):
of late to win anything in court. So I think
there's a thought that Shamar Stewart could do this because
the NCAA has been so pitiful and defending its stance
on why they've invented many of these rules, and this
being another one where if they've already got representation at
a lower level, and it's not really that different. Since
(29:24):
these young men heading into this year and young women
for that matter, are going to be getting paid for
their play. It's not NIL, they're being paid by the university,
it's going to throw a wrench in the entire argument
why he shouldn't be able to come back. So I
think there's a case to be made. I think if
he wanted to use this as leverage against the Cincinnati Bengals, which,
(29:47):
if I'm not mistaken, though, they would still have the
rights to him, I believe, even if he did go
back to Texas A and M for another year, but
this would allow him to play football, earn more money
and il by going back. I'm not sure how much
is left over there down in College station after they've allocated,
(30:07):
whether they've allocated for this upcoming season, but I would
imagine coach Mike Elco would welcome them with open arms.
But I think there's a possibility. I think there's a
case to be made if things go south, but I
personally don't think it's going to go that direction. I
really do think this is just him and his agent
trying to use this as leverage. And I'll remind people
(30:28):
how ridiculous this situation is. All Shamar Stewart's asking for
is the same language that the pick last year for
the Bengals in the first round got as well. It's
the Bengals who are trying to set a new precedent
with a change in some of the language within their contract,
which would be the change not what the player and
(30:48):
not what the agent is asking for it.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
So can we go back? Can we go back to
one point?
Speaker 12 (30:53):
You may?
Speaker 6 (30:54):
I don't want to get too far away from it,
don't it You said they would still own his rights,
because there's a couple questions that come to mind for me. One,
what do the Bengals do if they don't have their
first round draft pick playing for the entire year based
off of this?
Speaker 5 (31:12):
That would be one?
Speaker 6 (31:13):
And then two, What good is it if you go
back and they own your rights? Because to me, my
whole thing is if we couldn't make it.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Work now.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
And where am I at in my contract, I'm not
going to get credited for another year if I come back.
If I come back and you have my rights for
this year, it didn't count towards me getting closer to
getting a veteran deal. That's to me, that's very counterproductive.
If I'm the player that doesn't seem to play in
(31:43):
his favor, he's going to make more money than what
he would make going back to school.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
If you went back, I'd be.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
If I'm going back, I'm going back into the draft
like somebody else draft me that's going to pay me,
versus you still own my rights?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
How would that work?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
So he would just get paid you know, two three
million whatever somebody wanted to pay him at the college level,
which would be more than he'd make if he decided
to opt out of the entire season. Uh, they would
still have his rights the next year because they have
you know, haven't been able to work out a deal.
The would most likely be a trade involved. So you know,
that's most likely how that scenario would work, or would
work out at least. Again, we're talking a lot of
(32:24):
kind of hypotheticals here, things that really played out the store.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
But that's where we live right now, right we live
in a hypothetical world.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
But I hope it happens what this is all created with.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I hope it happens.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
I think it would be don't hold your breath. I
don't think it's going to.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I know, but I just the idea of Cincinnati doing
this while all the guys asking for is exactly what
you did one year prior. And then ultimately the guy
said prior years like guy says, f this, I'm going
back to college, Like I just I want to live
in that world to see what the reaction is.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well then and then you even add into the fact
that this is your first round pick to replace the
guy that you don't want to pay in Trey Hendrickson.
And so now it makes a look at the Angles
organization and the other one retired?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
What is what is plan C?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Sincey, yeah, I got a plan since it just it's uh,
that's that's crazy, but hey, it's a Bengals Man and
Nicol and Diame all the way.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
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 a m.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Eastern three am Pacific. There are traditions on this show,
and one of those is the man who joins us next.
He is the old pe on social media. He is
Petros Papadakis, the co host of the Petros and Money Show,
which you can hear on the Blowtorch AM five seventy
l A Sports Fox college football analysts and our good
(33:55):
buddy p How are we feeling here in a wind?
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Good morning? Hello?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Hello Brady? Hello LeVar, Hello.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Hello Recula.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
So Black and Drack has been retired now, you know, wow,
it's back to Two Pros and a Cup of Joe
now he's a cup of Joe, not a cup of
Drack anymore. Yeah, yeah, all right, fair enough, Yeah, there's that.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
All right?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
So here I am so uh Petros, your thoughts on
the All Star Game last night were you were you
okay with the swing off to conclude things or well,
I mean it's not really a conclusion, right, It's not
really a fair way to lose or win a baseball game.
Of course, you could say the same probably for the
way they decide a World Cup soccer game, you.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
Know, when they do the shootout.
Speaker 12 (34:48):
But I will say this for any criticism of the
MLB All Star Game, and there always is, it's exponentially
better than any other All Star game there is. We
obviously don't do the Pro Bowl anymore, and it just
went away, and the NBA All Star Game nearly wreck
(35:11):
the whole league this year. They had to orchestrate the
Luca trade just to get people to stop talking about
how much it sucked. And so whatever the warts were
last night and the swing off and this and that,
it was still a it was still really compelling. I mean,
it's a little awkward listening to the announcers talk to
the guys during the game, but also pretty compelling. Watching
(35:35):
Kershaw Hitch Wally talked to the guys in the booth
was very interesting. So overall, it's a way better product,
and because of the nature of the sport, yes, but
it's a way better product than any of the other
quote unquote All Star games or things like that.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
That we have.
Speaker 12 (35:56):
So I thought it was a pretty American p No,
I wouldn't say that. I mean, what's more American? What's
more American than the Baseball All Star Game? The home
run Prime Day?
Speaker 4 (36:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
We're sitting in the world of sports, like, is there
anything more American than some dude just saying I'm gonna
launch every ball I can't over the fence.
Speaker 12 (36:19):
We have the hot dog eating contest. Probably that was
what I brought up.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
That's too.
Speaker 12 (36:25):
Yeah, it is a sport, and that is the most
American display of excess that we could possibly put on.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
So Joey Chestnut, Joey Chestnut is a great apple, He's
the standard.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Yeah, you know, he's upset because he doesn't think competitive
eating is respected the way it should be.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
I I do think that it is.
Speaker 12 (36:46):
That it is great and it's an American thing, and
baseball obviously has a very special place in all of
our hearts, usually from our upbringing or watching our kids
played Little League or or or whatever. But yeah, I
thought it was a way better. It's a way better
product than what anybody else is putting on.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
For an All Star game.
Speaker 12 (37:05):
And when they run into a tie, yeah that's a problem.
And the problem is because of the fact that they
don't really let the managers manage to win the game,
right they use everybody. It's a lot of fresh pitchers,
and because of that, usually it's a pretty low scoring game.
Last night it didn't end up that way, and it
(37:26):
was fun. But if they would let the managers manage
to win the game, then they would have pitchers left
and we could see what would actually happen down the
stretch if they went into extra innings. I mean, they
put a guy on second base anyway, it's not like
it's going to last that long. But pitching has become
so specialized and such a crazy thing. And each of
(37:47):
these guys have like two Tommy John's by the time
they're twenty five, So I also understand that that part
of it. But I thought it was a good game,
and I thought it was enjoyable and obviously it's put
on by one of our employers, Fox, so uh, that's
always that's always interesting to watch because we know a
lot of the people involved.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
So way to go, Atlanta. No Freaknick.
Speaker 12 (38:10):
There was a real it was a real Freaknick vibe though, yeah,
with with Ludacris and uh and and Jermaine Dupree and
the other Atlanta. I was watching it on mute because
I was doing the show. But that looked like a
fun deal. I do wish Ludacris would have worn his
(38:31):
big arms.
Speaker 5 (38:31):
The original Freaknicks though.
Speaker 12 (38:34):
Well yeah, well, the original Freaknick is a whole other
thing which got which got canceled, saturating the town.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
Uh wow.
Speaker 12 (38:41):
Freaknick was a gigantic like spring break party in Atlanta
based on the historical Black universities, and they would all
come together in Atlanta much like people would out Yeah,
Daytona Beach or Palm Springs in the eighties or South
Padre Island. It was like that, but Freaknick. But it
(39:01):
was it was canceled. They got rid of Freaknick, which
is too bad. It happened a long time ago, like
twenty years ago as well. But I do wish Ludicrous
wore his big arms, you know, the big ass arms
that he likes to wear.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
That would have been more fun. But he did not.
He had his normal arms.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
Speaking of big arms, we had a conversation earlier. P.
I'm curious to to what your opinion would be.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
Do you believe in.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
Measuring and weighing, you know, in terms of breeding, you know,
like having your kids like.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Oh, the Osiris aman On. I met that whole family
when they.
Speaker 12 (39:43):
Were all well, I think the oldest one was at
Notre Dame, but they were all still in high school.
I was speaking at a banquet and I met that
entire family, mom, dad, and the kids.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
I have pictures with him, so I heard what he said. Yes,
but what the question? I'm sorry, LeVar.
Speaker 6 (40:02):
Oh well, I'm just saying, did you take that into
consideration when you were no no in the dating pool
or anything like that? How I did too? How did
you get to where you got to with your wife?
Was it based off of looks? Was it just based
off of all we were friends since we were kids,
like SAand Bucks.
Speaker 12 (40:18):
That I would say just the traditional attraction between a
man and a woman.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Okay, but you.
Speaker 12 (40:25):
Know Michael Thompson, who's Klay Thompson's dad, and Mikey, and
they got one more that played baseball for the Dodgers.
It's early in the month.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Oh yeah, Trace.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Yeah, Trace, there you go. Sorry about that, A long
swing struck out a lot.
Speaker 12 (40:43):
But but Michael Thompson, who was a big time NBA
player and a champion with the Lakers and a superstar
at Minnesota Behavian man, very tall.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (40:56):
He he was very vocal about the stock of his wife,
who is like a large athletic volleyball type from I
believe the Northwest area where he was drafted. And obviously,
you know, three kids who played high level sports and
(41:17):
Klay Thompson who's made life changing riches playing in the NBA,
and he talked about it.
Speaker 5 (41:24):
So but you know he's dating the Stallion right now.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Too, Megan V. Stallion.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Yeah he is.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Yeah. I'm not sure how great that.
Speaker 12 (41:33):
Is for anybody to deal with if you're Klay Thompson,
but I hope they have a wonderful relationship and it
bears great fruit. It just feels like it feels like
an unnecessary burden, you know, when all anybody wants to
do is stare at your girlfriend's ass, and that's all
(41:56):
you have on Instagram is like, here's my girlfriend's ass,
and here's a little picture of me in the like
where's waldor he?
Speaker 4 (42:01):
You know, like, come on, man, anyway, good for him.
Speaker 3 (42:04):
You actually are taking like the exact opposite approach of
mister Brown. You are actually saying there are certain attributes
you would stay away from because I'd be a burden
for you later on in life.
Speaker 5 (42:14):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
I wouldn't say.
Speaker 12 (42:15):
It's just a a burden of attention, you know what
I mean? If you're Klay Thompson, you know you do
you need to date a rapper who's more popular than you. Maybe,
I mean, maybe that works out. Maybe I shouldn't even
speak on it, but you guys asked.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Me about it.
Speaker 6 (42:32):
So I mean somebody's BBL stunk and he walked away
from it. I mean, you know, it could always end
up bad for you in these situations.
Speaker 12 (42:41):
Everything, everything could always end up bad in every situation.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 12 (42:45):
I just find I just find the Instagram, you know,
like how you debut your relationship, Like here she is standing.
Speaker 4 (42:52):
There, look at the ass.
Speaker 12 (42:54):
It's just like every other Instagram post she's ever made,
except this one's got half of Klay Thompson's face in
the back.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
You know.
Speaker 12 (43:01):
It's like, come on anyway, good for them, I'm happy
for everybody.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Got a VW bug for an ass everybody about show.
Speaker 12 (43:08):
I saw on Instagram or or Twitter the other day,
like a picture of Travis Kelsey when he.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
Was dating the Black Chick.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Oh yeah, you know, the good old days.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
Yeah, I mean he clearly was looking at genetics there,
you know.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah, good old days when he was more open minded.
Speaker 12 (43:23):
Yeah, and he was looking like he was he looked
like I mean, the Twitter caption says, this guy looks
like he sells vape cartridges at the back of a
liquor store. And then you know, and then he's with
Taylor Swift and he's got like the floppy nineties hair,
different the real like the real like contented white man's smile,
(43:45):
and it's just like, my god, you know, now he
looks like you know, now he looks like one of
the guys in Charmed who's like trying to date Piper
Paraboo or somebody.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
You know.
Speaker 12 (43:56):
It's it is quite a transition, and we are a
product star around. No, I don't I h Shannon Doerny's
not with us anymore. No, Shannon Dorney died a couple
maybe a year or two ago. She had a long
battle with cancer. And then you have a list of
Milan to remember that who seems to have lost her mind.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
And then there's the other girl.
Speaker 12 (44:17):
Her name was Prue on the show, it's not Piper Parabou,
and then Rose McGowan. I mean, Charmed was a terrible show.
But what happens is if you watch, like during the
NBA season, it comes on after right, you watch T
and T all night, it's on.
Speaker 6 (44:32):
The It's in the studios every single night we get
there because you know the yesterday up the next day.
Yeah yeah, it's just finishing up into our time slot.
Speaker 12 (44:42):
So it's you get to see all the weird, bad
witchcrafts before CGI.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Which is also terrible.
Speaker 5 (44:51):
Yeah, it's very true.
Speaker 12 (44:52):
Yeah, that's what Kelsey looks like, one of the floppy
nineties hair sweater wearing dudes on Charmed.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Now, so Petros, now that we're at the all star break,
is this really where from a show standpoint, you guys
can slap it up, because now, wow, there's no baseball.
There's no real significant sporting event that's on right now.
So now you can really get in the mud, so
(45:17):
to speak, with something.
Speaker 12 (45:17):
Yeah, but foot as you guys talk about all the time,
like football is right on top of us now, and really,
to me, post NFL season, pre Baseball season, like that
big stretch of four hour shows, that's a harder time,
you know, to be like, oh, well we got the
Clippers today, what do we got going on? You know,
that's a harder time in my work year calendar than
(45:42):
All Star Week.
Speaker 4 (45:43):
All Star Week.
Speaker 12 (45:44):
You know, people are on vacation, different people are in
and out, which makes things a little less stagnant. And
I have to go to do some media day action
this week, So where's going. I got to go to
Vegas so to deal with the last gasp. I mean
every year I go to Vegas, it gets worse. Three
years ago, one year or so, Brady get goes out there.
(46:08):
But three years ago I was there for the last
gasp of the Pac twelve. Remember that dinner at Allegiate
Stadium with all the coaches.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Yeah, it was it was rather uncomfortable.
Speaker 12 (46:23):
It was one of the more uncomfortable like it was.
It was so weird. You know, it was like be
at a funeral. That's the only thing I can compare
it to. Yeah, I mean, you know, Chip, Kelly, Kyle
Whittingham and we were all on a bus together, like
it was just it was just weird. And everybody's just
sitting there staring at each other like, yeah, you guys
are collapsing. What you're gonna do?
Speaker 4 (46:44):
You know?
Speaker 12 (46:45):
And then last year was Big twelve Media Day in
Vegas along with the Mountain West and then the weird
Oregon State Washington State packed to Piggyback Cocktail Fest at
the Belagie. Know that I walked out of very early
because like, to me, it.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Says they got a cocktail hour. That's well.
Speaker 12 (47:08):
To be honest, that's all I wanted, was like a
middle shelf whiskey. Like I'm not a I'm not a
difficult person, you know, I mean, just Maker's mark or
bullet or bubb uh Buffalo trace or something. But they
only had Jim Beam, Like they were serving well drinks
and We're at the Bollagio and Merton Hanks was standing
there looking all mean like a bouncer, and I was
(47:29):
just like, what are we doing? And then Yogi Roth
got up to be the speaker, and I just I've.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
Backed out of the room. Uh so, but usually I
end up. Wait, did yog give a eulogy?
Speaker 3 (47:42):
Like what?
Speaker 4 (47:43):
No? Nobody?
Speaker 12 (47:43):
He gave the speech like to pump up Washington State
in Oregon State, like, hey, come on over here, Jake Dickert,
let's talk about Washington State. You know, Washington State ended
up having a really they had such a good year
that the whole team got dismantled and coach left, the coordinator.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Left, that's the quarterback left.
Speaker 3 (48:01):
You know, they're all at Oklahoma and waiting for I'll
tell you what the next pack to media Day. All right,
well that's the thing that puably well enough, you guys
would be somewhere else next year.
Speaker 12 (48:10):
Well last year, PAC two Mountain West. You know, they're
on each other's schedule. Everybody's happy, everybody's free, keep the
big door open. And then like three weeks into the season, bang,
now you're suing each other and the PAC two is
poaching all of the Mountain West teams, and the Mountain
West is all upset, so they are not collaborating.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
On media Day this year.
Speaker 12 (48:29):
And then this is like everybody's suing each other media
day because you got San Diego State, Utah State, Fresno State,
all these states leave Colorado State, you know, all these
teams leaving the the conference. So it'll be awkward. But
you know, my, that's the thing the art. We've talked
about it a whole bunch. In college football, the offseason
(48:52):
has become incredibly awkward and not a fun topic to discuss.
You know, you're talking about litigation, congress stuff that the NFL,
the NBA, all these other leagues seem to handle really
well because they have usually one person in charge and
they know how to.
Speaker 4 (49:10):
Orchestrate their offseason.
Speaker 12 (49:12):
I always thought that college football would be headed for
more uniformity in this modern era where it's a big
money grab, But I don't think ESPN and Fox can
get along well enough to make it happen, and the
NCAA has no power, So we're.
Speaker 4 (49:29):
Just more and more confused in our sport and.
Speaker 12 (49:33):
Just begging, just clawing for the games to start because
everything else sucks so bad, and all the conversation, you know,
all the transfers and the portal and the money, and
the coaches complaining about the nil and you know, universities
laying people off and all of these different stories that
(49:53):
we have to deal with. It's just not fun. So
at least we're getting closer to the game part. But
I will report next week on how awkward it was
this this time around.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
We'll see And is this for Mountain West or Big Ten?
Speaker 4 (50:08):
Mountain West?
Speaker 12 (50:09):
Where Big Ten's got to be in Chicago or something
this year?
Speaker 3 (50:12):
No, it's Vegas, Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:14):
Oh where Vegas?
Speaker 3 (50:15):
Next week? Okay, you're gonna miss Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Speaker 5 (50:19):
It'll be out in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
Well, i'll warm up the city for you with with
thank or vel. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, Big Ten's at mad Yeah, Manley got the Big Ten.
And so the Mountain West is at Circa.
Speaker 12 (50:34):
Circa is where we hang out, which I do actually
like interesting. Although you know you haven't seen you don't
know what life is like until you've seen Timmy Chang
with two tall boys.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
I was what happened last year when you tried to
talk to him about the program?
Speaker 12 (50:48):
No no, I asked him a very simple question, Do
you get the support you need from the university Petros
I'd have to say, no, you guys don't know what
it's like down in the drags with me. But anyway,
what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (51:06):
You?
Speaker 12 (51:06):
I'm going sit in Mountain West Media Day and listen
to Bronco menden Hall's problem.
Speaker 4 (51:11):
I walked.
Speaker 3 (51:11):
I walked through the same pack too cocktail hour you
were at, all right, for maybe for less time than
you were there.
Speaker 5 (51:17):
I was there.
Speaker 6 (51:18):
You live less than ten minutes away from me and
probably use the same street I use to get out
of where you live, and I haven't seen you yet.
I don't talk about being like you're in the the
you know, the big high end.
Speaker 12 (51:32):
Just I'm talking about my college football coverage world.
Speaker 6 (51:35):
And all right, I just figured it gave me an
opportunity to take a shot at you, because you really
haven't said, like, let's go get a whiskey together.
Speaker 12 (51:43):
I am not generally available, Okay, clearly, of course I'll
have a whiskey with you, LeVar, and whatever you want,
I'll beat you at the bullpen. All right, Okay, but
you know you're going to be very popular. Everybody's going
to try to talk to you.
Speaker 5 (51:59):
No, no, no, I'm goa I move around.
Speaker 3 (52:01):
You know I've been I've been petross. How long will
you be?
Speaker 5 (52:03):
In days?
Speaker 4 (52:04):
For not long, okay, just for the day I liked. Okay, gotcha,
I don't. Yeah. Yeah. Flying to Vegas is is stupid.
Speaker 12 (52:16):
From here, you know where you sit on the tarmac
for a half hour both ways around you go jsx bro.
Speaker 4 (52:22):
Flight takes an hour. You got to sit there and
figure out the.
Speaker 5 (52:25):
Car JSX BRO.
Speaker 4 (52:28):
I don't even know what that stands for jet sweet
x that's sweet.
Speaker 5 (52:31):
Yeah, No, I hate that.
Speaker 12 (52:33):
Why because I just want to listen to my book
on tape and be left alone. And when I'm done,
I want to walk down to the car and drive away.
Speaker 5 (52:40):
That's the perfect Okay.
Speaker 12 (52:41):
One of the great things that ever happened to me
is I was doing the Mountain West Championship game years
ago because Spencer Tillman got COVID and it was the
COVID thing.
Speaker 4 (52:50):
Where the stadiums were empty and the whole deal, and uh,
you know, we.
Speaker 12 (52:54):
Had all these precautions and and all this, and then
the game's over and I hugged Tim Brando and that
it turns out he had COVID. But uh, get me

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Trust me, I was you forget I worked with them. Hey,
old young young man, why do you run down to
the bar get me two Cranberry vodkas.
Speaker 12 (53:25):
I know who you worked with. I know where LeVar lives.
It's like everybody's sitting here trying to educate me.
Speaker 6 (53:31):
No, I wasn't trying to educate you. I was trying
to shame you, actually, because I you know, I need outlets.
I would listen to your audio book with you. We
could sit there, hot Box. You would not listen to
your Yeah, I would. You'd be surprised. You would be
trying to share the fun.
Speaker 4 (53:48):
Still the bar, it's only got fourteen more hours. It's
a good.
Speaker 6 (53:54):
If we hot Box and we're going to be laughing
while we enjoy your fourteen hour book.
Speaker 12 (53:58):
My guy, I I what we were talking about, Timmy
b Oh.
Speaker 4 (54:03):
Yeah. So, but we did the game.
Speaker 12 (54:06):
We called the game, and you know it's empty Samboyd Stadium,
Boising State versus San Jose State empty Stadium on Big
Fox Games over walk down into the car and just
leave Vegas, just straight empty parking lot back on the
(54:27):
fifteen glorious. You know to me that you know that
kind of escape. I mean, you know what it's like, Brady.
Every meeting you've ever had before, every football game you've
ever been involved in, the first fifteen minutes of the
meeting are about the escape.
Speaker 4 (54:43):
How the hell do we get out of here?
Speaker 12 (54:45):
Who's driving which car, who's going to the airport, who's
bringing the rental car back to the thing. I mean
that that is priceless. So to me, being able.
Speaker 5 (54:54):
To get right back on the fifty rental cars.
Speaker 6 (54:57):
D oh yeah, I prefer Papa dak has uses rental cars.
Speaker 4 (55:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 12 (55:02):
But if you're if you're you know, traveling, you know
that usually there's like a team of rental cars, you know,
to bring me to the people.
Speaker 5 (55:10):
From rental cars, is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (55:12):
No, that's Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
What's great about a rental car with Brady is that
if you go to Keenland and you got to catch
a flight right afterwards, we'll just leave the car wherever
and just say, all right, I can.
Speaker 3 (55:27):
Hold on in in my defense or our defense, we
got Basically, our flight kept getting delayed, and it was
to the point where there was a couple of guys who, uh,
they seem like some wise guys, if you know what
I mean, and they were going to find us a
flight down to Dallas. I think I'd be like four
worth or something. But all I remember was we kept
(55:48):
getting delayed, delayed, delayed. So Jonah sides, you kind of
kept hanging out, drinking and watching the horse races. So
one thing led to another. We may or may not
have lost track of time. There might have there might
have been an element if we lost our car. We
didn't know where he parked amongst that in Keenland, and
so we were in a bit of a rush. Yeah,
and then we used to get back to the car.
Speaker 2 (56:10):
Then we got there and we couldn't understand what the
guy was saying, like he had like four teeth and
straight like, and we asked him like, hey, where do
we where do we park the car?
Speaker 4 (56:23):
What?
Speaker 2 (56:24):
And we had no asked him two or three times
and finally just went and parked.
Speaker 3 (56:28):
Over to the I parked. It was like, someone will
figure this out. This is not one of the world's
greatest problems.
Speaker 12 (56:35):
When when I was first starting to travel in college football.
There were always stories where they you know, they left
that car at the strip, mall.
Speaker 4 (56:41):
I don't know what's going to happen.
Speaker 12 (56:42):
You know, here's a kiya, But I mean I used
to you know, before GPS and all that. You know,
they you get the plane to the prop plane to
Eugene and get in a rental car at like midnight,
and you know you're some wearing junction city between Corve
Allis and Eugene and the dark and hoping that some
(57:04):
guy in a flannel with an axe and a beard,
you know that.
Speaker 4 (57:07):
Doesn't rape me. Geez.
Speaker 5 (57:12):
That was a real concern.
Speaker 4 (57:14):
Actually, wise. Yeah, I used to think about it all
the time. I'm not even a Paul Budyon on the
West coast.
Speaker 5 (57:20):
Con advantage of me taking it from me.
Speaker 12 (57:23):
You don't know what it's like there, Brady, between corn
Allison and Eugene.
Speaker 4 (57:28):
True, it ain't Portland, definitely.
Speaker 3 (57:33):
It's in Portland.
Speaker 6 (57:38):
Petros is as far off the rails as we've ever been.
Speaker 12 (57:42):
No, I never thought we'd get a budget, but you
know where else it could happen, you know, it's like
Lewis and Idaho, Colefax Washington, you know, around Pullman.
Speaker 4 (57:55):
To worry about that?
Speaker 6 (57:56):
Were you listening to that fourteen hour book while you
were trying to avoid whole Bunyon.
Speaker 4 (58:02):
Back?
Speaker 12 (58:02):
You know, I don't know, this would be like twenty
years ago, so it was before I was listening to.
Speaker 4 (58:07):
Books on tape.
Speaker 12 (58:10):
Well, Petros, I think I just you know, spy sprayed
phone calls out to people I knew, Like, hey, why
don't you talk me through the ninety nine here in Oregon?
Speaker 2 (58:18):
I mean, Petros. If you're looking for something to listen
to you I can probably check out Lebron's podcast. But
let's enjoy the enjoy the drive to Vegas.
Speaker 12 (58:26):
I like to hear Steve Nash agree with everything he said,
and we'll do a podcast partner that didn't agree with
everything he said.
Speaker 2 (58:36):
Not for long, Petros. We appreciate it. We'll do it
again next week.
