Tyret dot Com sway tire buying should be weird weekend
Los Angeles, right, really really weird. This past week was

(00:51):
Here's how it actually works where I live now, John lives.
I just I'm not going to give away at the address.
That happened once on TMZ and the Paparazzi. I know
John was a lot. John's closer to the Rose Bowl. Ja,
Stu and Buyer are north of Los Angeles again in

(01:17):
a slightly more inland area. That was they got a lot,
a lot of rain on Sunday, and I'm being more
of a beach community south of Los Angeles. So again
there's varying degrees and you're like, okay, well it's one area.
Like no, it's so big. Where I am is usually
much more moderate than where Jay Stu is and maybe

(01:41):
to a slightly extent where Ramos is. Right like it
usually it doesn't get that hot in the summer, and
it doesn't get that cool in the winter. It's like moisten,
kind of kind of damp, and whereas I think, and
Jay you could speak to this because you live there
and I don't, but gets really hot in the summer,
you know, probably twenty degrees hotter than it is here,

(02:04):
and in the winter at night it can get like
ten degrees maybe cooler than it is here. Is that
about accurate?

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's exactly right. So we experience a more extreme weather.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Right Again, extreme for California, I understand, is not extreme
for the Midwest, the Northeast, the South. Like again, we're
talking like in the summer where it'll be eighty five
where I live, it'll be one hundred and five where
Jason lives. And the winter where it doesn't usually get
below the high forties. They can get into the low thirties,

(02:40):
and it can be you know, quite quite cold, a
little bit windier, Okay, a lot more up and down
with the climate. So I don't know what your guys
experience was Saturday. Saturday, the humidity started to creep up.
But all last week, I mean Chamber of Commerce weather.
Usually in California we get like two weeks in the
summer where it's kind of humid and outside of that

(03:02):
not much. Well, it was a little bit of humid
last week, but I mean it was spectacular. And then
they had this this hurricane coming and by the way,
big fu to all and there's like fifteen people on Twitter.
I tweeted out a picture of Dodger Stadium and said
it was the eighteenth rainout in Dodger Stadium history. Dodger

(03:24):
Stadium opened in nineteen fifty five. That's sixty eight years.
That's how my math works that those are pretty good numbers.
And it's pretty spectacular aerial photography of what Chavez Ravine
looks like when you've had you know, four or five
inches of rain in one day. But you get people like, well,
it's not a rain out because they moved the game

(03:44):
up and played a doubleheader, which by the way, John
Ramos went to game one of the doubleheader because he
had tickets to the Sunday game. Anyway, there was supposed
to be a game. They moved the game because of
rain I don't know if that's the Major League Baseball
or Elias Sports Bureau edition of a rainout, but it
feels like a rain out to me. And I don't

(04:06):
really care to argue with you on Twitter about that,
but there was There's a lot of preseason football games
taking place. Did you guys see the Patriots game? Was
that against the Packers? I think right? They played the Yeah,
they played the Packers and one of their players was

(04:26):
was immobilized and there was fear of paralysis.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah. Isaiah Bolden out of I think he played for
Dion last year Jackson did.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
He played for Jackson State. A seventh round pick. Isaiah
Bolden was injured with ten thirty eight remaining in the
fourth quarter and he was placed on a stretcher and
cardoff field. It was third and seven. Boldens he was
looking to tackle Malik Heath to wide out and he
took friendly fire from Calvin Munson. Bolden was hitting the

(04:58):
head fell to the ground. He didn't move, didn't move
at all. He's placed in the stretcher card off the field.
It was a final play of the game. Both teams
agreed to end the contest. So he's okay. He was
released in the hospital. Movement with all the extremities, it is,
and it's really interesting, Like I was driving my son
to school and he's like, Dad, the hurricane wasn't as

(05:20):
bad as what they said. Why is it that when
weather's not as bad as we say, we make fun
of the weather people. But like, we're so happy Isaia
Bolden that it's not as bad as we thought it
could be. It's the greatest news ever that he walked
out of the hospital a day later, right you ever
you ever think about that? Like it's okay to be
extra cautious anyway. So I'm I'm I'm reading this story.

(05:46):
I'm watching the highlights. Obviously, last night it was kind
I thought it was great because it was kind of
like COVID where there's nothing you can do, and the
power was out in some areas too, so you just
actually had to have either a rely time, read a book,
board games, or conversations. Dare I say conversations with one another. Anyway,

(06:10):
I remember having this discussion with friends when Ryan shay'sier
his career came to an end with his partial paralysis
on Pittsburgh Steelers played, And you had to have the
thought when Deamarrow Hamlin laid motionless there last year and
actually had to be brought back to life. And this

(06:32):
is not me going Michelle Beadle on you and I
love Beads, but you know she turned on football and
though she's now she has a new national radio show.
Congrats to her. Michelle's a friend. I think she's an
incredible talent. So this is not me saying I don't
watch football, I don't like football. I love football. I'm
so excited this is a game week week zero in

(06:53):
the NFL. I'm excited to see Aaron Rodgers play in
their final preseason game.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Who doesn't love football.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I had my son play tackle football for two years,
but issabled what lay in there motionless? And I was
thinking to myself, we do know that somebody's not going
to get up at some point, right. It is nothing
short of a miracle that an NFL player has not

(07:23):
died on the field to this point in time. It
has happened at youth levels, it's happened at high school levels.
I don't know if it's happened in college football. I
don't remember it happening in a game in college football.
But bigger, faster, stronger. And here's a real thing. You know,
they're hitting less and less and less outside of games.

(07:47):
And some would say, well, they don't hit as much
in games as well, but when they do hit, you
haven't built up any sort of what's the word I'm
looking for, Yeah, like a tolerance or you know how
when you go out and when it's first summer, you
get that burn layer, right, you kind of get that

(08:09):
skin on top that's kind of like it's burned, but
not so much so that it's gonna appeal and it
allows you to get a tan there afterwards. Like they
have no burn layer. There's no tolerance there, there's no
no antibodies there. Now you're going from barely, you know,
barely touching each other or barely hitting in practice, to

(08:32):
full on contact. That seems to set you up for
potential failure. Additionally, the guys are bigger, faster, stronger, and like, look,
you get your body caught in aker position, you end
up running into one another. Things gonna happen, and at
some point somebody is going to die.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's like, I mean, how many times have you seen
the running of the in Pamplona and you're like, at
some point you're cheering for the ball, You're like, I
kind of want to clip somebody, but in watching it,
at some point somebody's gonna die. That those are real,
live several ton of animals who are They're gonna gore you,

(09:16):
and they're gonna gore you in the wrong place and
you're gonna bleed out. So I just what do you
think happens when that happens?

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Right?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
If when a guy goes down he's motionless, we cancel
the game. I understand this is a morbid thought, but
that this is the real I mean, Jay Stutt, I
couldn't be the only one who's thought this.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, I definitely think about it more than I probably should.
It sounds like a morose like topic to even bring up,
but it's like, yeah, what happens up to that? What?
I have a feeling that DeMar ham one thing it's
set in uh in motion A bunch of things that

(10:01):
the NFL had to kind of take a look at
things and be like, what do we do in case
of this? And I'm hoping that there is a framework
for what the hell happens if a player is lying
dead on the field. I'm hoping that's the case because
they kind of bungled the damar thing. I know that
after the fact they took credit for it, but we

(10:23):
were really confused about all that. Remember Jill Buck kind
of like back on camera and he was like, I
really have nothing to say right now, So we're going
to go to a break, Like nobody knew how to react.
I'm hoping next time around, everyone just kind of has
a something in place, you know, everyone's ready.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah, I think what happens, I mean they cancel the game,
and the question is how long do we not see football? Right,
it's an obvious risk. My brother was at a high
school football game in San Diego. His buddy son is

(11:01):
a kicker, and they just went to see, uh he
just moved back into San Diego and they wanted to
see his buddy, Ryan's son kick. And in the fourth
quarter the game was called because a kid I think
he had to suffered a broken TRACHEA man, right, Like,

(11:22):
who that's a tough one, and he actually asked the question.
He's like, dude, that's throwing out high school kids had
to do this, You're just crazy. And yeah, John, what
do you think happens in the incredibly unfortunate instance that that.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Does happen, that someone passes away in a game?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Oh man, Well, like you said, we got close to
it right last season, so that was kind of a
kind of a wake up, right, But but was it right?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Like, yeah, what was it? I don't get me wrong.
The training staffs are ready. I mean, the Bills training
staff was incredible, right, incredible, and the training staffs aren't.
But there is I would guess, unfortunately, there's going to
be a moment where that doesn't happen. It's just I'm
just talking about the reality of it and think about
how you know, it's interesting when that happened. Think back

(12:24):
to the Demor Hamlin thing. There wasn't a human being
on radio TV at the time who was like, hey,
this thing's really dangerous. It was all you had the
super you had the crazies, and I'm gonna put Jason
in there with you with the crazy with the it's
the vaccine, right, you had people talking.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Wait, hold on a second. No, yeah, that was not me,
That was not me.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
You were you didn't say that. Oh no no no,
not on air, off air, not off air, not on air.
I've never you never thought any of it had to
do with the vaccine.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
Never. Okay, well there was just just just a quick
or the earth. Yes, I said, yes, that all the
kooks that were saying it was a vaccine or why
haven't we seen Hamlin? It looks like a dummy. You know.
I said that the theories that they were spouting should
not be immediately dismissed because you don't agree with it.

(13:20):
That was That's how I That's how I positioned it.
But at no point did I say the vaccine caused
it or that that was a problem. I just have
a problem with people getting canceled or for stating something
that disagrees with you. That was the problem for me,
No matter how crazy it sounds, you shouldn't be dismissed
because it disagrees with your political platform.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't. It has nothing to a political for me.
I know you're not speaking of me. You're you're saying like.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, right, the royal yeah right out there, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Right, I would say that you have enough doctors that
quickly identified exactly what happened, and you know, it's like
the Brownie jameson, Wow, it's got it because he's vaccine,
because you look at like, dude, it's that one, and
you're like, okay, I'll open up to the possibility. But
the much stronger likelihood is, you know, it's like anybody

(14:14):
who's been around basketball knows somebody who this has happened to,
long before these vaccines were ever in place. It's like,
anytime something happens anything with somebody's heart having to do
with sports, it's like got to be the vaccine.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
So the.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Anti vaxxers went crazy that way, and those same conspiracy
theorists came in with the it's he's not really that's
not really him. And then there was the people who
came out harshly against Skip Bayless because his tweets and
then his response lacked any sort of empathy. But there
was zero discussion at the times like hey, you know,
this might be a little bit more dangerous than we

(14:53):
were kind of letting on, and we could sit there
and go like, no, these guys they know what they're
getting into. How many times you're in a football but do
you know what you're getting into? We know what you're
getting into. Like, really, do you think you really walk
out there going like I could die today? Again, it
doesn't mean that football won't be played. It's a lot
like we see this in F one races, right or

(15:14):
or NASCAR races. You know, did they did they take
any time off when Dale Earnhard Junior, when Dale Earnhardt
Senior died. But football is such a part of our
culture and the violence is so real. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I watched this.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Weekend and I thought, God, let's just get up, kid,
come on, get up. Just give me the wave, give
me the thumbs up, tell me you're okay. And now
he's walking out of a hospital, which is great, and
then the like, at some point somebody is not going
to be great. I don't know that. Maybe those are
morbid the thoughts that went through my head.

Speaker 5 (15:52):

don't really take much from preseason games, you know, unless
somebody's do you guys see Matt raise your hand if
you knew Matt Barkley was still in the league.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Did you know that kinda Do you remember what Matt?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
You remember Matt Barkley was gonna be the number one
overall pick in the NFL draft, and then he went
back to USC and he came back and he was not.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I remember it well, yeah, that was horrible.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Matt Barkley was seven of twelve on Saturday night, ninety
three yards, three interceptions, was sacked and uh was sacked
and he lost a fumble. Like that's a that's a
tough night. That's a tough night, especially when Kyle Allen

(17:43):
was like twelve of fifteen, one touchdown, played perfect football
comes out all right, here comes Matt. Excuse me be
Actually Kyle Allen was Kyle Allen. They have two, isn't
that Where they got Kyle and Josh Allen and they
got Matt Barkley. And the thing about Matt Barkley is
he's in that stage, and he's been the stage like
the last five years in his career where you don't

(18:04):
really want him to play because he's so he's got
such a high football IQ. He's basically your assistant quarterback
coach and assistant offensive coordinator. On the other hand, he's
got to be able to play a little bit in
the meantime, and I think he can't play a little
bit anyway. Packers, of course, had their preseason game against

(18:27):
the Patriots, and you know, we're trying to figure out
what Jordan Love is. Meanwhile, you're watching the Jets play.
And the Jets have a preseason game coming up next week,
and it'll be their final preseason game, if we remember
the preseason contracted right by one games. I'm not thinking

(18:47):
wrong on this. And the Jets are supposedly gonna play
Aaron Rodgers, and there's lots of back and forth about
should he plays. They're playing the Giants. The Giants have
a good pass rush. You know, do they want do
they do you really want to play Aaron Rodgers because
Aaron Rodgers didn't play in the preseason, in the preseason yet.

(19:08):
And my argument is, yeah, right, if you can't survive
one preseason game, how are you gonna survive seventeen games.
I understand that there is completely understand they got offensive
line issues and there's no real win on the scoreboard
for having him in. But he's gonna play in live

(19:30):
reps in a game without having played live reps in
a preseason game. I would never stop guys from one
to play, especially at a position like quarterback where it
doesn't feel like you can you can avoid you can
avoid any any sort of negative impact, or you know,
you see anything close, you throw it away, or you
just take a take a knee. What do you think, Jase,

(19:51):
do you think you should play?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I just think that the the risk involved. If there's
one takeaway that we've had from the Jet training camp,
it's that the offensive line is still figuring stuff out.
And I think that the concern is that if the
offensive line is not figured itself out, then why would
you want to put your quarterback in any kind of jeopardy,

(20:17):
especially when they're starters all around the NFL who who
aren't playing in the preseason at all. So I think
that's the argument against it. But the Jets are going
to do it anyways, right.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, And then of course they canceled there. They didn't
show up for a dual practice last week. That one.
That thing was real weird too. You know, they just
know showed for a practice because Robert Sala couldn't be there,
so they felt like they couldn't be there. That was
just so weird, So weird, Robos, Where are you on
guys playing preseason games? And if it's a good.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Idea, I think they should play at least some of
the preseason game. I saw Jimmy Garoppolo play. I think
it was like two sets of downs in the Rams
Raiders game on Saturday. I think they should get in
there at least get a fill, throw the ball around
a little bit. They don't have to play the whole
game and then they're good, but just to sit out
the entire game and watch. I mean, I don't know.

(21:09):
I agree with you about like we don't want to
get if that if the theory was we don't want
them to get hurt, I think that theory has been
thrown out with the bathwater No.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I mean, like, look, you don't want guys to get hurt,
but they play in the and I know some of
these are being canceled. They play in the closed scrimmages
right in the in the two team scrimmages. So I
just I don't really understand. I don't actually understand the
logic there, and like we're not going to have them
play in the games, but we'll have them played in
the scrimmages. I mean, look, I get it. You don't

(21:43):
want your quarterback getting hurt getting hit, and you can
protect them and put a jersey on them, but they're
still gonna get popped and you still run the risk
of of non contact injuries in those in all of
those workouts. So I just you gotta get some reps
with the guys. You got to get some down in
distance reps. And I know you get those in those scrimmages.

(22:05):
But if Aaron Rodgers feels like he needs it for
rhythm and timing, then he needs it for rhythm timing.
Exactly has he ever gotten hurt a preseason game. I
think the answer is no, So why suddenly we're so
concerned that it'll get hurt in the preseason game. That's
my thing behind it. I think it's fun, I think

(22:26):
it's interesting. I also think there is a little bit
of and I'm sure this is what a lot of
people are thinking. This is a very Jets move, right,
The Jets who are trying to they always try and
own New York instead of just put a good football
team out there like they're playing the Giants. They want
to own New York or we're gonna throw Aaron Rodgers
out there where. That's not what owns New York. Just
win consistently and you'll own the town. Every town likes

(22:50):
a winner. It's amazing how that happens. When you win,
they show up. That's exactly how it works.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Exactly that works.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I'm more interested in this. Monsey went to Taylor Swift
and then reported back, is this the only show you've
gone to this summer?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
No, I saw Blink. Well of Taylor Swift, I only
saw one because I had to take out a loan
and give up a kidney. But I did also go
see Blink twin eighty two.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
How are they?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
They were wonderful. Oh it was so good. It was
so fun. So Travis Barker is an amazing, amazing drummer.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Did you think Travis Barker was an amazing drummer before
he was on the put with the Kardashians.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yes, I just didn't really how good he was. I mean,
I've been listening to Blink since I was like in
third grade, and in fact, I remember like there was
this particular song that my brother was like, do not
listen to that song? We could talk about that off air,
but I've been a big fan, and I guess I
didn't know how good he was. He had like a solo,
long segment by himself just going at it with the drums,

(23:55):
and it was so awesome to.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Watch the drum, the old drum solo so good.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
And then they lifted him up. They lifted his set
by himself up above everybody else. It was so awesome.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well, Tommy Lee, they used to a Spontley crew. They
used to run him over the whole stadium, like he
would go up upside down and they would spin him around.
So I've just been done before already. Usually so Travis.
The name of the drum solo song is usually I'm
gonna go get a beer.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
What do you guys want? Anything?

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Not at all? It was so good, it was he
was great. He was great, and I was at the
show that.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
There's it's because the Kardashian's cool man not I don't
want him dating or being married to a Kardashian.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
I don't want that.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Why why he's like a great dude, like they have
a thing because all of us.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
The minute he did that, everybody started criticizing him. So
I just was like the world because the Kardashians are
either loved or hated. There's no one between. There's no
one between. Unfortunately for those billionaires, you either love him
or you hate him.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So what is the what does that have to do
with him?

Speaker 4 (25:02):
That he was kind of crucified a little bit by
the one by the ones who hate the Kardashians pay attention.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I don't, I don't. I'm going to disagree there. You've
clearly fallen for Travis Barker because of how nice he
is to Courtney in the show. And now you're like
the one person.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Watching the drum So that's cut the show.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Where's the rest of us? The rest of us are like, dude,
drum sello?

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Oh god, see it's cute that you think I watched
that show because I don't. Okay, So no, no, never,
Oh you don't know when it came out? When it
came out? Oh yeah, how.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Many seasons deep did you go into the Kardashian.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I probably like watched the first five seasons religiously.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Okay, yeah, Jase dou have you ever watched an entire
Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I've watched entire episodes, but I can't say I have
tracked more than three total in my entire wife.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I never watching the whole episode. I have watched the
quarters of a couple of them, but I would I
would tell you, like I watched, Jase, do you and
I are locked in on We're both Bachelor? He has
the Bachelor podcast, right.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yes, just very good. By the way, is the new
one with the old guy is Brian Old? No, No,
they haven't done the Golden Bachelor. They're just doing The
Bachelor right now.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
And by the way, yeah, my official take on the
the Elderly Bachelor.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah, yeah, they the Elderly Bachelor, Golden Bachelor. No, that's
what they're calling elderly.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yeah, I only watched the show.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Awesome, if you like hurt, he had to get like
h surgery.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
No, he comes out of the fantasy suite. He's like
my head.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
That's not off the table, right.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
But the only reason I watched The Bachelor, and the
reason why I do a podcast about it, and I do.
I love the show. It's a great formula, is because
it's it's really fun watching young people trying so hard
to be famous and be humiliated on camera. I take
joy that I don't need to see my grandmother getting

(27:09):
humiliated on camera. I just didn't. I don't want to
see old people because the form out of the show
is to embarrass and humiliate you for TV, and I
don't need to see old people getting used like that.
I want to see twenty somethings getting used like that.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
You don't think this is their goal of making you think, oh,
this is going to be a real season, like we're
actually going to help this guy find love. I feel
like they're trying to.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
They'll tell you that, Yeah, they'll tell you that, But
that's what you think.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
The real job of the show is to humiliate people.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Oh absolutely, yes, yeah, yeah, finding love. Finding love is
about the tenth priority on this.

Speaker 4 (27:45):
For realspedos that you know are lime, Green and Pink
playing dodgeball. Yeah, no, that's too embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
By the way, I don't think it's to embarrass you. I
think it's I think it's it plays into all these
parts of people's brains which they think, you know, It's
like there's a bunch. I do believe that the finding
love thing is like tenth Yeah, in the priority of
this I would agree with that. But I don't think
I think people humiliate themselves on their own I just.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Do because of the structure of the show. That's the
brilliance of the show is that they have these humans
fall into typical traps even though they know they're coming,
they fall into them, and they embarrass themselves on national
TV and that's that's what's fun about the show.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
My question would be he's seventy, right, the yeah, the
golden McKay. My question is if any it would be
one person would be seventy another woman. The majority of
the other women, I'm guessing will be between the ages
of forty five to fifty five.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Oh, there'll be some of the thirties.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Okay, you think thirty.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I'm not going to go that low. But if yeah,
I doubt there be anybody between sixty five to seventy
in that group. If maybe one, just to make it good,
there'll definitely be.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Some like like Grandma who's like got it together. You're like,
she's how old? No way, But they'll also be there's
gonna be a she's how young?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
No, they can't do that, Oh they can?

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Why they can? If you're what's the difference If you're
in your thirties or in your forties and you're single,
you're like an older guy and he's like, you know,
he's like a Benjamin Button type, Like, what's the difference?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Because I think I think if you were to put somebody,
let's just say thirty five half his age, I feel
that that's going to open the door automatically. Of obviously
this woman is just trying to take him for whatever
he's worth.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
That he's not right again, that's like a great storyline,
like are you in it for the real reason? For
the right reasons? This is like every have you watched
the Best Service?

Speaker 4 (29:47):
Say you can't so like what the show should do.
It's like no, no, no, nobody below forty five like it should.
It should not be I think anybody who's in the
thirty year range. And now you're right, Ja, you're right,
Jay stew.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
What do you think the youngest uh, what do you
think the youngest female will be on the show.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I'm thinking late thirties. But here's what the show typically
has everyone why about their rage? Right, Like, you'll see
a guy on this You'll see a guy that's like
forty three on it's like second plastic surgery, and it'll
be like Ted is twenty eight, Like no, he's not.
I think they're gonna lie the opposite. I think they're
gonna be like Marge is sixty two, Marg and she's

(30:31):
actually thirty.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Nine, but he's really seventy, right, Wow, Yeah, I mean
I think so he looks last week when they showed him,
he looked let's see old and bachelor.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
He did. He looked, he looked older.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
He looked older than.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
Seventy Yeah, no, wow, like like, yes, well he's old.
Seventy one is what he is listed.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
As monthy Would you date a seventy one?

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Absolutely not not. There's nothing in common, right, you have
nothing in common with him. It's like, poppy, can you
have five shots of tequila and survive?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
What if he can have five shots tequila.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
And no, we'll go have a happy hour.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
But that's just if have a happy hour and he can.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
I could not date it. No, I could not. I
couldnot physically be attracted to somebody.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
What if you are and you're like you're how old you am?
Michael seventy one?

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Like no, well of course, what if you're giving me
a situation where I have to like put myself in
in something I don't see myself ever, I I don't
think I could get there.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
How old is the rock?

Speaker 4 (31:37):
I don't know? Fifty let's find out.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Okay, guys, I'm on it.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I mean, like, what is what is the what is
the limit there?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Fifty one? Yeah, that's he's not even twenty years older
than me. He's not even twenty years older.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, okay, let's see who's like that. Who's give me
a good looking sixty year old jadue.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Okay, how about this. I can't date somebody older than
my paying parents. How about that? That's I think that's fair.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
What about your parents' age?

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yea, if my parents is got.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Him and your dad are cracking beers.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
My dad can crack beers with my current boyfriend who's
exactly my age. So no, I can't. I think it's
that like I can't have them beer around my parents' age.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Okay, that's that. There's the Monsey Blagos rules.

we haven't done. I think we're contractually obligated talk about

(33:24):
the Cowboys. Let's talk about the cowboys.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
Why, well, because they're the Cowboys.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Cowboys, cowboy.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
If you're new to this segment of The Doug Outleb
Show on Fox Sports Radio, we make fun of the
fact that everybody likes to talk about the cowboys because
the Cowboys are a uh well, a crazy snapshot of
our country, right, so many great resources, so much desire
to be the best, even the Moniker America's team, and
yet and nothing since the nineties early nineties. A lot

(34:06):
of hough, a lot of bluster, but maybe not nearly
what they should be that Dak Prescott, their quarterback, said
this about the season and how they'll be different this
season from last season.

Speaker 6 (34:19):
I think you have to use your scars in that sense,
and so to say I'm continuing to relive it. It's
passed me at this point, but a lot of a
lot of the offseason was about that and with Mike
taking over as to play call, and we went into
details and sometimes though there's three there's those three plays,
there's a lot of details in that allowed those three
plays and not be successful. And that's what we've really
focused on this this training camp and this spring of

(34:40):
cleaning that up. Making sure receivers are on the same page,
linemen are on the same page with my mix drops
and receivers understanding where they've got to be and when
they've got a beat, just so operation just goes a
whole lot smoother. So we're using the things that hurt
us last year a lot of them be.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Our strength this year. So obviously he's he's talking about Mike,
Mike being Mike McCarthy. Their head coaches called the plays.
Of course, he comes from the West Coast background. It's
different than what Kellen Moore did. I can only tell
you from at the Chargers camp, and granted, you know,
we don't know if if that's how they really feel.
But the Chargers couldn't be more excited about getting Kellen

(35:15):
Moore and they had a at least yardage wise, a
really successful offense in Dallas. I don't know the Cowboys.
They have a very good defense, they had the makings
of which should be a good offense. Cede Lamb's got
a chance to be a star, and obviously that you know,
you change running backs for Zeke's out and I think

(35:35):
they they think they can be really good. But as
much as this is in McCarthy's wheelhouse, it'll be interest
to see what the rest of the team looks like
with him focusing on the offense. Bill Belichick is not
one to just hand out compliments, but apparently he wanted
to hand out one to We're still doing want to
be a cowboy? Apparently want to hand out one to

(35:57):
Taylor Swift. Take a listen.

Speaker 7 (35:59):
That was pretty impress So she's tough and then she
just stood out there and played right through it.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
So are you officially consider yourself to officially be a Swiftie?

Speaker 5 (36:08):
Now?

Speaker 7 (36:09):
Officially? I don't know about that, but I don't know
what officially is.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
It seems like it seems like Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 7 (36:14):
Is yeah, what does that mean? Like you have a
sweatshirt or something a few Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
I think you can sing some of the lyrics. You know,
it's uh, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Mean they were selling they were selling rain water the
first seventy bucks a jar or.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Something like that.

Speaker 7 (36:30):
Yeah. Well, look, I'm definitely on the you gotta calm down.
That's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Like you got to calm Down. That's one of her best.

Speaker 7 (36:41):
That's there's a lot of times when that's very appropriate.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
That is awesome.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
That's so good now, Doug, I feel like we need
some context share. Anchoring today's show at the newsdesk is
Monty Blano. She just went to the tour last week
and had came back with a bunch of stories and
I think it was when you were gone on vacation. So,
you know, a lot of Fox Sports Radio's bandwidth was
Monsei's experience at Taylor Swift. It became a thing and

(37:10):
she went around the room and it was like, what's
your favorite song? Like, what's your favorite you know, her
personal favorite team is what is that the I mean
I like.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
A lot, but I do like bad Blood. But I
do like a lot. I like a lot, including you
need to calm down.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I was gonna say, so what was my answer to
the question you need to calm down? Do you know
the song? Doug?

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Actually that one? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Something shots at me.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
It sounds like this now. It's like it's got a
great driving beat. I like the bass. Like if it
wasn't Taylor Swift, I would like it. It's just a great
musically melodic song. And Bill Belichick, out of all the
songs that she has, this is his favorite as well.
So me and the head coach of the Patriots have

(37:53):
something in common.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Fifteen is my favorite song my Well, my girls were little.
I remember that song coming out, and I was like
bawling at the idea of somebody breaking my little girl's
heart in when They're when they're fifteen. Yeah, you know that.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Is a very sweet song.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yes, my brother took his daughter to one of the
shows at so Far and he said something to me,
which is it resonated with me, which is real? Which
is real? Like there isn't anybody on earth more famous
or popular than Taylor Swift.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
Right now, I would agree.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I don't think it's arguable. Yeah, you know, I don't
think it's arguable. And it doesn't mean that everybody loves
or knows all of her music, new or old. But
she'd I mean, she she literally sells out every show
she has at you know, up to one hundred thousand
seat venues, and I mean it's just printing money. And

(38:52):
there's not anybody on earth that can do what she's doing.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
I know.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
I pointed out that Beyonce is on tour, and like
nobody even knows that.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
I think people know, but Beyonce, Drake's on tour.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Drake's Yeah, and again everybody's still just talking about Taylor
Swift right.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
It's really like she is amazingly sucking up all the
oxygen in the concert Morgan Wall and obviously having a
really successful tour. I saw him twice. I've seen a
bunch of shows this summer, but I did not. I'm
I'm not a swifty. It just it just wasn't. I
just didn't want to do it. I'm also a bit
of a ticket stop, so I want to get good

(39:29):
seats and those are really expensive and yeah, no so
and my girls used to love Taylor Swift, and they
actually talked about going at the last second, like you
want to go? It was like do you really want
to go? Like, yeah, I kind of want to go
because everybody's going like that anyway. It's crazy how popular
she is. You can anybody can say I had a

(39:49):
great summer. Taylor Swift has had a better than.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Your Did she give like a million bucks to the
guys that drive the truck for the tour or something
crazy like that.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
She's given some millions of dollars to her crew and
people that are helping her because she knows it's not
just her. She's fully aware, which is another great thing
about her that there's no there's no scandal, there's no
The worst thing people say about Taylor Swift is she's
had a lot of boyfriends. That's the only thing.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Hmm okay, but that's it.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
That's what people attack her from that she's had a
lot of boyfriends. But you know what, she's not married,
she's got no kids. Let her live her life.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
I don't think there's anything wrong with having a lot
of it's the it's the are you dating or say
that you're in a song afterwards? That's that's that's the
big question.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
But that's what It is correct that she writes about it,
and it's like, guys do that too. What do you
think Drake's writing about?

Speaker 1 (40:39):
Uh, well, there are some other parts that Drake writes
about that I aware.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
But I'm saying, guys also write about relationships, and that's
that's more.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
That's more country. More country songs are about relationships.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Yeah, that's fair. Those are stories. I always think of
country songs as stories.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
What's the worst concert you've ever been to? How about
that one.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Worst uncert I've ever been? Man, that's hard. I've been
to a lot of concerts.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
She thinks about this. I always say that the worst
concerts I've been to, and there's there's three of them
because they're the same band. One of my favorite bands
is called The National. It's an alternative band. It actually
just did a collab with Taylor Swift. The National is
a great recording band. They have great albums, they have
a big following, and they are notorious for being horrible live.

(41:29):
I have gone to their concerts because I love the band,
and then sat through the concert and been like, man,
this band's this is a horrible live band.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
That's my answer, which happens. All the concert concerts that
I've been to I've loved and had a great time.
But if you're telling me to pick her the worst,
and it was, no, it was great. I have to
say Incubus Nami, but it was great. It was great live,
they were great. All the concerts, luckily that I've seen,
I've wanted to and they've all been great. Even when
I saw Brittany and she had to lip sync the
whole thing, it was great. Right, it's still great.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Oh the lipsick thing, just I can't do the lip
but you know, she was dancing, she was putting on.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
I don't care, I don't care. It's not different.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
It is because if I'm gonna seeel No, it's different.
If I'm going to lip sync se Brittany and she's
gonna dance her butt off, she can lip sync.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Okay, So then I'll go see dancers dance and they'll
play the music in the background the same. You're right,
it's not the same because it's supposed to be. The
talent is supposed to be the ability to sing and dance.
Like you go see Bruno Mars, he sings and dances.
He sings every bar to every song and he dances.
You can't do that, then you're it's false advertising.

Speaker 4 (42:38):
His dancing is not the dancing that Brittany is doing,
like doing a couple of moves here and there, and like,
that's not Bruno Mars show. I've never been to one.
I've seen videos and I see how he dances. You
could see, but it's like Brittany Spears is going all out.
And this was years ago, this was I get it.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Like now, I don't know, did Madonna? Because all the
female shows that are or dance than songs, right, She's
like it's all like a copy of like share that
went to Madonna, that went to you know, Janet Jackson,
and then you know, you have you have a bunch
of them. Did Madonna used to sing her songs when
she would have her big shows.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
Sure looked like it. If you watch that documentary Truth
or Dare, looked like she was singing.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
I think maybe they sing some right, and then others
maybe not.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
The ballads they sing and the dance songs they don't.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
Actually what I thought about Brittany when she sing her
ballads and she wasn't, I thought I could hear her
breathe and the other ones. I was like, I don't
think she's singing when she was dancing.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
But that was made into a big deal a couple
of weeks ago when Cardi b threw her microphone literally
through the microphone away so she couldn't sing. And yeah,
that's a tough one, man.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
That she wasn't dancing. She was just walking the stage.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
I like post Malona a lot.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Yeah, but he was this weekend and in her mind, right, sorry,
you know somewhere, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I remember because wait wait wait where where.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Did you say was in San Bernardino?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (44:04):
How did you pronounce it san Bernardino?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
No, you want to help, you want to help? There?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Jase too, No, Covin and Rich give her a crap
for a couple of pronunciations. She she's she calls some
the Arizona Cardinals cardinal and San Bernardino is.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
Bernardino, San Bernardino, the San Bernardino, San Bernardino.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
There you go, There you go, Yeah, there you go.
But you're from Califia, southern California, right.

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Yeah, I'm not from there, but you never like I've
never been.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
San Borino Mountains is Sanborino freeway that San Bordio is
an area that's like somebody from Boston misipronouncing anything around Boston, Like, well,
I'm not from that, I'm not from the I'm not
from southeast, so I don't know. Like, yeah, I don't
think I give you ramos. Do we give her a
pass because we like Moncey when she doesn't know because

(44:54):
she's so nice.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
So you don't have to give me a pass. I
don't care.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I didn't care. Yeah, I agree with her.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
I thought you were I thought you was a messing
with this. There was like a like I say it
that way because I I know this guy named Nardo
or something.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Anyway, again, sorry San Bernardino, San Bernardino, San Bernardino.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Okay, yes, yes, the pronunciation police over here.

Speaker 6 (45:21):
I know.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
I'm just sorry. I mean that one was uh, that
was just you know, it's like it's like people from
Oregon going like, don't call us Oregon, right, it's not
Oregon's organ you know.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I've always wondered about the person that calls it a
pello pello like p e l l o W. That's
that's a thing. People call it pello.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Pillow pillow, Yeah, who tell.

Speaker 2 (45:43):
Oh no, I've heard pellow a lot where not anybody
is there? The same people that call it a worsh
I'm gonna worsh your question?

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Well, oh yeah, I mean that's I've said. I've done
the radio segments like we are gladly that people that
call it Colorado Colorado and everyone knows somebody says are
usually like a grandma or uncle says Washington.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Throw it in the worship Washington. I do that one
on purpose.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
Those people, those people are slowly dying off right. They're
just they are like, that's gonna be like, yeah, we
all know it's Washington and Colorado. There's a there's an
O at the end. The other other hand, maybe it's not.
I mean farv is not spelled farv, it's fabre. But
who knows? Uh, how do we get here? Oh post malone?

(46:29):
What we're gonna say on post alone?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Just to button up the segment here, we had a
we were talking about lip syncing. I love the song
Psycho by Postmone my favorite hip hop song. Yes, and
I'm like, how does he do this live? Because it
entails a ton of lyrics in a small space and
you could hear the over dubbing when when you hear
the recording, I'm like, I wonder how this goes live.

(46:52):
So then I tune into one of his performances and
it's because he's lip syncing it and he sings. He
sings every occasional word to it. But it's like, I
don't know, I felt kind of jypped.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
But no, well, what didn't you, Doug say that you
want to hear the song. Yes, yeah, you want to
hear the song the way it was recorded or how
it sounds, so you don't want him going off on
some tangent like some bands do. So maybe in that
sense he was giving you what you wanted.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
Well, what I like about Taylor Swift is the same
thing with Morgan Wallen, which is they just go song, song, song, song, song,
song song. I'm sure she does some stuff where months
you could speak to this, calling people up on stage
and doing those things, but for the most part, it's
just about the music. Yeah, you came to hear the music.
