Already getting boo birds from Nick Kope, who's at the
anchor desk. Mix gonna be with us throughout the show,
giving us the latest tankath On twenty twenty three is
on with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I mean, for real, though, like, could it could you
be a little bit less?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Obviously, they should just release all their quarterbacks. Do it
forty nine Ers style. Just do it like like they've
been the NFC Championship game. Jason Stewart's here, John Ramos
is here. Mike Golick Junior is gonna join us in
about twenty five minutes, talking about everything that's going on
in sports. He has Pops launching a new show today,
(01:20):
and so we're excited to talk with Mike. But we
are talking about Trey Lance, the forty nine Ers, and
the Dallas Cowboys. This weird love triangle that features hate, deception,
secrets and all that. And I want to start with
the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Out of things mind so really good, Yeah, really good one.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
I would call it fools Goldau.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So they.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
You guys are just good, yeah, they Let's go to
someone who speaks Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Let's go to someone who speaks Spanish, John Ramos. Isn't
it or isn't orta Spanish? I mean the gold out.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I was thinking of something. I was trying to think
of it, but it's auto. You're right, you're right. But yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
John knows five words in span that happens one of
them that and Ola and Albano and and you're right,
this is the Telenuel.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, Noela, He's saying, toilet guys, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Ub apropos for all these teams to deal with this
stuff because Shret's been in the crapper. I mean the
way that the Niners have treated Trey Lance. We give
the forty nine ers this free pass because they make
NFC championship games. Yet they could not, they could not
have done Trey Lance worse throughout his time. And then
(02:48):
and then you hear you hear John Lynch saying, you know,
and Trey apologized to us, and there's nothing to apologize for.
Oh there is. You should be apologizing to Trey Lance,
for you repeatedly drove the bus over Trey Lance time
and time again in his NFL career. Trey Lance he
(03:09):
apologized for us having a workout. He had no reason yeat.
You ever reason, John Lynch, You ever reason? Kyle Shanahan
and I would say, MONTI that I think, like, all right,
so we give the forty nine ers a break. They
are winning football games. They are a storied franchise, and
this current regime has had success in getting the Super
Bowls and getting to NFC Championship games. But this isn't
(03:31):
the first time this has happened. Like this is Jimmy
Garoppolo has felt the wrath of a Kyle Shanahan and
a Niners front office bus going over them and back
over them. And I just I look at Trey Lance.
We'll get to the Cowboys. So if you ain't the Cowboys,
don't worry. That's coming up very very soon. But right now,
I just I am. I'm sick of the forty nine
(03:51):
ers getting these free passes because hey, it's Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch and then I know what's going on.
This is the second quarterback that they've brought in. I
know they that they have in their in their quarterback
room that they have not treated well. Jimmy Garoppolo recently said,
don't believe everything you hear because Kyle Shanahan multiple occasions,
we're gonna trade Jimmy. Yeah, Jimmy's not coming back. Blah
(04:13):
blah blah, this and that, blah blah blah blah blah.
Like there seems to be something going on with San
Francisco and the constant the constant thread is the forty
nine ers not treating their quarterbacks. Well.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I agree with you. I do have one thing that
I will say, I.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And that's next on Canoe.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Mantia. Listen.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
One thing for sure is I think obviously having Trey
Lance as like a QB three is too expensive on
any roster, right, So that's that's something that I.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Take into consideration.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
But I do agree with you something is off here
because you know, Kyle Shanahan, you know, quote unquote could
be like the quarterback whisper right, like he seems.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
To figure out how to mask weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Seems yeah, it seems.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
To be able to mask weaknesses when it comes to
certain quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
With his system.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So it's interesting because that they weren't able to make
this one work, but yet dragged it on, dragged it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
On for so long. Why did we drag it on?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think that it was dragged on because they also
didn't like Jimmy Garoppolo and then Brock Purty fell in
their lap. And that's the other thing is they're going
to get a lot of credit for drafting Brock Purty
and developing Brock Party. But my point to that is
if the forty nine ers really knew what they were doing,
then why did they bring back Jimmy Garoppolo last season
(05:31):
when they had drafted Brock Purty. Why did they have
brock Purty be the number three? If you was supposed
to be so good in the air apparent, and then
when Trey Lance ends up getting injured, you played Jimmy Garoppolo.
I get it. Brock Purty then had a half a
season to get ready and fit you like a glove
into that forty nine ers offense, and they continued to roll.
(05:52):
But I don't think that they can take credit for
the development of brock Purty over that seven or eight
week span or whatever the half the season was, just
for the simple fact of if he was that good,
and if he was the guy that they truly truly
believed in, then why was Jimmy Garoppolo back in the
first place.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's a really good point, and I don't have an
answer to that.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
But obviously I feel that when I say dragged it on,
I feel that it's like they knew very early on
that Trey Lance wasn't going to be their guy. That's
what it seems like, correct, And that's what sucks about
this now that Jimmy Garoppolo is a separate thing.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Why you know, But it really just goes down to
you knew Trey Lance was.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Not the best shit and he wasn't living up to
the expectations you had.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You want to know what else is so key about
that point is they knew Trey Lance wasn't going to
be the guy, and you would think you would think
that in the off season because he was going to
be traded. He was. They brought in Sam Donald. The
only question was what happens with brock Perty's elbow? How
significant is this injury? Is he going to be ready
for Week one? The only thing that I heard this
(06:57):
offseason was and that's why you would keep Trey Lance
around us to be insurance. If Brockbird he wasn't ready,
then you could start Sam Donald. But the only thing
that we heard with the ravery views about Sam Donald
hex Sam Donald may have the best arm of any
of these forty nine er quarterbacks. Telling you what Sam
Donald is getting this? You didn't hear that about Trey Lance. Never.
(07:18):
What you heard about is, yeah, Trey Lance is struggling,
which is so backwards when you think about it, because
if they didn't want him there, wouldn't you want to
hype him up to trade him? Yes, and hope that
someone would give you a fourth throng pick like Dallas
did again. Dallas haters, don't worry, we got you locked
in like two minutes. But this is the point of
(07:39):
you would think you would want to upsell Trey Lance, right,
and they never did that. They did him so wrong
in San Francisco that it is such a blessing that
he is now out of there. He had nothing to
apologize for. Even the hyping of Sam Donald, to me,
was such a slap in the face to Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Couldn't agree with you more on that. It's like, really,
all of this about Sam Donald, and we know what
Sam Donald is. We've seen him for years, we know
what he is capable of, we know what product he is.
The way that they really diminished everything Trey Lance was doing,
and just for so long again, you dragged it on
for so long to just trade him, you would think
(08:19):
that it was like, no, we're gonna we're gonna keep
this guy, and we're gonna work with him and we
are going to help him get better.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, he never got He never got the benefit of
the dollars ever.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And I know injuries, unfortunately were a factor in this,
right unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But still, but still they didn't take care of their player.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I agree. I'm locked up with you. And now Dallas Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys have Trey Lance as a player. And
that's the part where now we go to a whole
different conversation with yeah, like do we have a do
we have a guitar transition that we could do? Like
would there? Would there? I think of the Saved by
the Bell the that's my electric guitars.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Let me tell you, I was a big fan of
say by the Belt, and I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I just want you to know SBTB guitar transition, and
I'm sure it's somewhere in the system. John Ramos, Oh
oh that's pretty good. I like that. Now let's talk
about the Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that Trey Lance
is in sticking up for Trey Lance. I don't think
(09:26):
that he is any threat to Dak Prescott none whatsoever.
Cooper rushes their backup quarterback. It's Jerry Jones. I know,
giving up a fourth throne pick. Some people are pulling
their hair out. It's going to be a fifth round
pick anyway, So maybe they just misjudged it by a
little bit. I don't think that Trey Lance is any
threat to Dak Prescott. We don't know if Trey Lance
can even get on the field and then learn what
(09:47):
he needs to learn. I feel that there's this overreaction
right now to the Trey Lance acquisition in Dallas that
he could be a threat to the Dallas starter.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I don't think he is a threat on and paper
skill wise, I don't, But I do think there is
a psychological aspect here when it comes to how Dak
has to be feeling about this.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
That's where I think the move sucked.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's like, no, Trey Lance shouldn't be a threat to you,
But it's impossible. If I were Dak Prescott and I
didn't know this was happening and I found out about it,
there's no way I am not letting that affect.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Me after the season I just had, after the seasons.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I've had since I broke my ankle, Like I haven't
been the best I've been since that injury. And you
do this to me and you don't tell me about it,
There's no way I'm not psychologically thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
There's no way, Guys, impossible.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Jerry Jones tried to explain it because he also didn't
let his head coach know before they did the dal
This is the Cowboys owner in GM over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Don't have anybody until we did it. Period, there was
nobody that knew it. We told my accatter we've done it.
But my point is we just wanted to get it done.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Have you talked it back since then?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, I have not done.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
I when you say you told Mike after it, did
he have any input on on it?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Just that he lacked him as a quarterback coming out.
That's our decision.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Zero leaks. How about the Cowboys front office? Even things
tight some of the forty nine ers couldn't do. When
want of the bad talk Trey Lance.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean, yes, fine, we'll give credit to the front office.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yes, but awful everything he said, like what a perfect
villain in telenovela. Honestly, like it's all about Jerry and
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
As much as.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Dak has not been the quarterback you may have wanted
the last couple of seasons, he is still the face
of your franchise. You still owe him the respect you
should have told him, even if it was a literal
a text.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Hey, bra I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Sorry, but just so you know, like, I don't think
he should have pulled the rug from under it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You know what I'm saying. You think it would have
texted like that too.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I I oh. I think here's the deal. Dak could
take it anyway that he wanted to. He could have
taken the information anyway that he wanted to. And if
he took it personally and didn't like it and felt
it was a threat, which I don't think it was,
that's on Dak. But Jerry Jones's hands in that instance
are clean. He could look at it as a negotiating ploy,
(12:25):
and Dak may get his feelings hurt and saying that, hey,
the cowboys are trying to let me know, put me
on notice. But again, that's Dak's way of interpreting it.
I do agree with you that the right thing to do.
He didn't have to do it. He didn't have to
tell Dak. Prescott probably should have let his head coach,
no different story, But for Dak's Dak's situation, it would
(12:49):
have been the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It would have been the right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
And I actually do think he's doing it on purpose
to mess with his head I one believe that he's
you know what, he's probably over it. He probably doesn't
want Dak Prescott anymore on his team, and he's probably
slowly shoving him out.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
DA's got to respond from that playoff game against the
forty nine ers. Yes, yes, there has to be something
then like that. Now, everything that has been done this offseason.
They lost Dalton Schultz, they don't have Ezekiel Elliott, but
you brought in Brandon Cooks, you have now Mike McCarthy
calling the plays. You're hoping for the change, which, by
the way, was a really good offense. I mean they were.
(13:33):
They just Dak throws two interceptions against the forty nine ers.
That's what you're hoping for in taking that next step.
So it is on Dak's shoulders to produce. I don't
think Jerry wants him out. I think that Jerry wants
to see if Dak can produce this season, which I
(13:54):
feel the jury is out by a lot of people
who watch the NFL and still have questions about Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Make sure that's fair. You're not wrong about that.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Get I think I'm just based on how Jerry Jones
handled it.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think he is more than just giving him a
heads up.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I really do think it seems that, in my opinion,
that he is slowly just getting rid of Doc.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I also feel that Jerry Jones, like they did pay
up high price tag and the Niners said, we didn't
think anybodyould give us a fourth form, which again shot
at Trey Lance and even kind of a shot at
Jerry Jones. I felt that if the Cowboy or the
Niners were to trade Trey Lance, they probably would have
wanted to trade him out of conference. And so if
they were looking for a six or seventh rounder. If
you had two teams that were going for Trey Lance's services,
(14:39):
one was in the AFC and let's say the other
one was the Cowboys, and they were both offering sixth
round picks, you're going to trade them to the AFC
team probably wanting out of the conference. So that would
mean the Cowboys would have to up their offer to
a fifth round pick. They actually upped it to a
fourth maybe not judging the market as well, but still
you were invested to at least a fifth round pick.
So I'm not going crazy over a fourth round pick
(14:59):
being let fort Ray Lance for a guy who we
still have no idea about and still may need a
couple of years to develop. It does put Dak unnoticed
and the phone call would have been right. My only
problem with Jerry Jones is this because I do want
to stand up for him, and I do want to
say if other teams made the similar move, they would
(15:19):
have been thought of his geniuses. But because it's Jerry,
and Jerry just doesn't tell Dak, and doesn't tell Mike
McCarthy and sometimes does his own way, we look at
it as a negative. Jerry also doesn't shut up, and
Jerry had this to say when talking about drafting and
wanting the draft Jalen hurts, which makes me look like
an idiot for standing up for Jerry Jones. Here's Gerald.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I think, had we been able to draft him with
next year, is full the kind of talent he was
in this draft. Like I just told you two years ago,
we were looking at Philadelphic quarterback and calling names, but
looking at him. Had he fallen to us there, we
would have drafted him. It is our plan when we can,
but it very seldom happened to have someone of a
(16:03):
uh A quality to be there at the right place
with our draft pick, and this one worked.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He wasn't talking about Ron Jaworski or Randall Cunningham when
he was talking about Eagles quarterbacks. He was talking about
Jalen Hurts, who the team could have drafted in the
second round when Hurts his pick, but they took Trayvon
Diggs two picks before. So that's the point of where
Jerry is just like, Okay, well, if you really liked
Jalen Hurts that much, yeah, you would have just taken
him at what fifty one instead of fifty three where
the Eagles ended up drafting him.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And also, why did you sell us? Why did you
tell us this?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Why did you? How does this anything? How does Why
did you share that information? Jerry? Would you call him?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I called him Jerald? But yeah, that's what I was
gonna say. That should be the name of his show, Hurraldo.
Nobody said that show?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Why did first? I'm going to write it down, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Why porque?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Why say it?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Why say that? During during this time, when these things
are happening, when you're making these moves.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Why did you say that?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Because he's he's trying to get in DAC's head.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, he has diary of the mouth. That's what he's got. Like, sorry,
it just does talks.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Both can be true. Yeah, I'm just saying you're not
wrong about that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Next up on her although.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
What was the there?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It is? Next up the the ongoing saga in the
drama what is soap opera man? The two two storied
franchises in the National Football League. It's a good thing
like a team like the Green Bay Packers doesn't have
this sort of infighting and drama with their star players.

Danny Zuko's got twenty eight Grease though trails the US

Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know that movie always amazes me that I was
supposed to believe that they were in high school.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'm sorry, what they look fifty seven? What are we doing?
What are we doing? But we all believed it. We
all went with it. We're like, all right, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Olivia and John was thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I believe, Yes, No, they were, they were adults.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Travolta was forty nine. I think got oh yeah, don't hey, John,
don't quote me on that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I'm gonna find out. I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
He was twenty five or twenty four. It's the Gottlieb Show,
Fox Sports Radio. She's montzu Blanios, I'm Dan Bayer, John
Ramos is here. Jason Stewart, Nick Cope. Nick's gonna give
us an update at the bottom of the hour. He
would have given us an update on the Little League
World Series if it happened today, but it didn't because
it ended yesterday. Like this.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Challenge old, he doesn't again for you.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You're a Little League World Series chess.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Hold on the walk, hold on, I'm a back for
the Thank forever.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Was up there.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's because he's six' one, like, like, there's nothing little
about that Little League Yesterday like like I ununderstand, but
when you're taller than the ump, like there's I'm sorry,
I cannot get over this, and I am. I am
happy for El Segondo. They are world champs. They beat
Curous out for the championship. There was a whole separate
(19:56):
international bracket and then you all met in the for
the championship game. There's no questions about world champions We'll
get to that in a little bit. But I just
when you're six' one and you're playing like he dwarfed
the catcher. It looked like he was holding a toothpick
when he came to bat.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, he did that, he did. It was funny to
see him taller than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
How old are they.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, John Ramos, you said that this kid.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
He's twelve years nine months, so he just just made it.
I'm not sure the exact cut off. I don't think
it's actually thirteen. I do think it's a little bit
under twelve. I think you have to be twelve before
a certain time, and he probably beat that. If he
did it, it was close, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Wow, no, no, no, But it just looked funny. It visually,
it looked funny when you saw it and his like,
I do like his nickname.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Though, the natural that's.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
His nickname, be the adult like that that should be
the man. The adult is six one. Listen, I put.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
A mustache on. Let's make it fun. Let's make it fun.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't want I don't want to stereotype, but you
brought up mustache.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
My region where I'm from known for mustaches. My hometown
is mocked by other towns because maybe you grow mustaches
a little bit earlier than other cities. I knew guys
in high school with beards and mustaches. Did you guys know,
did you have anybody in your high school that was
growing a beard and a mustache?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Very very few, but yes, okay, but no it was
not normal, right.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Yeah, and it was like the senior I actually had
a little bit of what we called peach fuzz, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Unfortunately they made me shave it because at the Catholic
school I was at, you couldn't have any type. And
it wasn't my fault, right, you're just going through pop
that stuff. The Yankees arch diocese r right. So they
sent me to the office to shave with cold water,
which as many people know, probably not a good thing,
and let you know, you know, it actually makes you
(22:11):
grow your beard more.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yes, yes, yes, I have pictures in ninth and tenth
grade of a crappy little cookie duster because I thought
a true story. I thought my mustache would grow back
like Tom Selleck. That's what I thought, And I'm like, gosh,
there's no way there. I am not. There's no way
(22:34):
I am shaving this mustache. Then it got to a
point where I had to and then realized, you know what,
you can shave again. It's not just a one time deal.
But I like, I woke up and there'd be this
forest of hair underneath my nose after the one shaving.
But yeah, I was. I was apprehensive too as well.
So it's not crazy to maybe if somebody, you know,
(22:55):
grow a little bit sooner. It's just weird where the
kid is six one and dwarfing the catcher, Like I
could not stop watching the video because of just how
ridiculous it seemed.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I think it goes to show you too, that at
this time of Little League baseball, you need to have
a dominant player on your team to even come close
to winning this thing. The Chinese type pay team, who,
by the way, lost in the International Championship, had that
pitcher that was throwing like one hundred miles an hour,
and they chose, I think, not to start him, assuming
(23:29):
they would just win, and then they lost. But this guy,
I mean, every team would need this. It's Lewis lab Or.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Is that his? Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yes, every team to get in my opinion, to get
to that pinnacle of Litle league baseball needs a player
of his caliber on other team to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Otherwise you're just not gonna make it. Sorry. Danny Almonte
is the poster child of this because of his actual
age when he was fourteen years old. Yes, but there
was another kid on that team was similar size. He
may have been twenty four years old. I don't know.
Maybe maybe the whole team was open, but it's just
(24:07):
that in proportion. And yeah, the kid pitched a great
game on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
He's a nice star.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm not I don't want to take away anything from
the kid because it's a great accomplishment. And I'm not
in the business of coming on the air and ripping
on twelve year olds. I'm not that that's not it. It
is just the visual aspect of the kid. Being six '
one when you're twelve and then going yard like and
it was it was a rocket like, it was, it
(24:33):
was gone.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But why would you throw him, who's basically the best
player that's been on the America side of the why
would you throw him any ball in the strike zone? Well, well, no,
I mean, even in Lucas's age group at eleven, we
we have ways of not throwing the ball in the
strike zone for anybody that we deeply be like, oh,
this guy can hit. I just found that to be
(24:57):
interesting from a coaching point of view.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Share.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's a fun question.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
This guy has fifteen home runs, Just give him a
groove right down the middle.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Eighteen seconds after I said I'm not in the business
of criticizing twelve year olds, John criticizes the twelve year
old picture location, bad location? What are you doing, kid? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh that was the coach's fault. You're right, John, that
was the fall.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I saw a great TikTok who mocked Little League coaches
before they get to the Little League World Series and
then after. And I wish I could give the guy credit,
but it's totally it's like, all right, come on, Timmy,
you know, like feel the ball, you know where to throw?
You throw it the first excuse me, Colton hit the
cutoff man, Come on, you know what are you doing?
You're gonna be riding the pine. And then the Little
(25:42):
League World Series it's like, hey, guys, this is fun.
Look at this. It was so good. If I find
it on TikTok, I will repost it because it was
a great, great piece. At Buyer Talk is where you
can get it. But that's all. It's the Little League
World Series. As some people hate it, some people of it.
It's just weird seeing a six to one man child
(26:03):
come in uh with the toothpick at the plate and
then go yard and people losing his mind. And when
he's rounding the bases again he's taller than the second place. Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's so tall running those bases.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I guess the question would be too, is will he be?
I mean, I haven't seen his parents, but is he
gonna grow more?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Or you think?
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Sometimes that's wheret you not. You don't stop there. I
don't know when boy stopped.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
He was gonna be eight to six. It's probably gonna
be a t And then Lewis Lap I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I mean I'm sure he's gonna probably be would you
say maybe six four six five?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, okay, that's pretty good. Maybe even a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Oh man, he was. He was a giant. But hey,
congrats to El Segundo fair Place. John said, he's in
the batter's box. You gotta determine to pitch to him.
Coach decided to and the rest is history. Uh, they
are world champs. There's a true bracket. Other spots. Uh,
someone's got a problem with it. We'll get to that
in a second. Was there company Live from the tirereq
dot com Studios. First, Nick Kobs here with the latest.
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Do you guys remember Aaron Durley. This is going back
a little way two thousand and six Little League World Series.
All right, Lewis Lappie's got nothing on this kid from
Saudi Arabia six eight, two fifty six at age thirteen,
he was twenty one.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Okay, I searched it, Yes, Ice searched it.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
My goodness, you think Lappie looks ridiculous rounding the bases,
there's kids that are up to this guy's elbows.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
When you look at pictures that the picture looks like
a crown because you have the two coaches on one side,
and then the high point in the middle, which is Durley.
Take a look at this. Can you retweet a picture?
This was? This kid is six yeah, six ' eight,
My goodness, insane.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
He looks like a coach. Like a coach in that picture.
Speaker 11 (27:52):
It's like, do you remember the benchwarmers with Rob Schneider
And there's the other team and the guy's birth certificate.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He just hands it.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
I mean, he's clearly like thirty five. It says I
am fourteen on it, and the director of the Little
League is like, m checks out.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
To me, Oh my good get over the six eighteen.
Also also, I'm still looking at these pictures. I'm sorry.
It's not good for radio, but I am mesmerized.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
And we didn't hear it in the call John played,
but Carl Ravich had the all time announcers Jink Jinks.
Right before that clip, he says, Chrsao hasn't given up
a home run in this Little League World Series, damn.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Clank just perfect. The end of the Little League World
Series and the start of the US Open was always
the That was the notification that school is starting from
where I'm from. That was, yes, because the US Open bracketed.
When we would start the first week, we wouldn't be
in school. The second week we would be. Yes, the
end of summer is here.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
The end of summer is here.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
I didn't really have summers because I was playing sports.
So you know, I'll just lend it together. I didn't
really have summers. Yeah, and my volleyball coach is crazy,
so we'd have like hell week.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And you hit seven to three.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Games, all right, don't get it twisted, no cap all right?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
If you won, if you won a tournament, let's you say,
in Chula Vista down near San Diego, would you consider
yourself world champions? Because Noah Lyles thinks that's what NBA
players are doing. This is what the US sprinter had
to say about the phrase using uh used by the
(29:30):
NBA and calling themselves world champions.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
If you know, the thing that hurts me the most
is that I have to watch the NBA finals and
they have world champion on their head.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
World champion of what the United States.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Do.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Ki't me wrong. I love the US at times, but
that the world. That is not the world. We are
the world.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, put
in on they flag to show that they are represented.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
There ain't no flags in the NBA. He's not wrong,
and I can't believe NBA players are actually taking shots
at him in terms of I get it, the best
players in the world come to the United States to
play in the NBA. But he isn't necessarily wrong in saying.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I get I mean, yeah, like he isn't wrong because
the NBA is here, But he's wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
He just said that to get a rise out of people.
He just said that to have a hot take.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
My guy, All of the best players from all over
the world in basketball want to play in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
That's where they want to go play.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I can't, okay, But then if the US wins the
World Cup, the Feeble World Cup, aren't they world champions?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, so now you have two world champions. It's the
Denver Nuggets in the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Like we're splitting hairs. Here is what this guy wants.
But he's trying to diminish something when he doesn't need to.
In reality, these are the best basketball players in the
world and that's what the NBA is. That's why we
have Luca on in the NBA. It's not just US players.
And again, I feel like he just said it, what
(31:21):
about World Series?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
World Series you have a problem with Are you fine
with World Series even though now we have a World
Baseball Classic?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Again, split hairs. He's trying to make a problem out
of nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
He's trying to make controversy out of nothing, and that's
what my problem.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I looked at it. I was like, who is this guy?
I literally was like, who is this person? Why do
you have USA across your chest? Who are you? Why
are you saying this? You're just trying to stir the
pot for no reason.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You're splitting hairs when in reality, like, Okay, yeah, you're right,
the NBA is in the US.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Uh huh yeah? Is there a bigger basketball in the world.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So you're saying that we should just automatically assume that
the Denver Nuggets would beat any team that plays in yeah, Europe, Australia.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yes, I don't think any team in the world right
now would be the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
And maybe so, but there isn't a format to do it.
At least with the World Cup. You have countries playing
like it's not open to everyone. The World Series, it's
like if you were to say you're world champions in
the NFL, well, we're the only ones who play that
brand of football, so that would actually be more apropos
than maybe of the NBA or Major League Baseball, because
(32:39):
we're really the only ones who play it.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
But I even.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Disagree with you there because I don't think the NFL
is an international sport like basketball is.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Over in Europe.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
They're playing rugby, they're not playing NFL football. So I
disagree with you on that. When I think basketball goes
across internationally, it's the same sport, and yet people are
coming here, and it's just the US dominates for the
most part when it comes to the Olympics. When it
comes to Feba, they do end up usually dominating, and
a lot of the best players in the NBA don't
(33:08):
even go there because they want to take a break,
the don't want to get hurt, whatever reasons. But it's
it's just you just said this to stir the pot like.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Freez he did, and it's stern and it's bubblin and
I just I don't know what you would call the US.
Did they win the World Cup, they win the Olympics,
just gold medal winners. Is that is that sufficient?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
There's this bit of arrogance. That's that's the problem, Yes,
with with in his delivery. No, I'm talking about the
arrogance of the NBA. It makes the baseball just assuming
that they are the best in calling at the World
Champs when there isn't a true play play off to
determine that, even if it is assumed that the American
(33:51):
squad or the NBA or Major League Baseball squad would win.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
But I do I again, I feel like it's different
even with baseball, like in Basemall, I don't know if
the US is the best team. You know, there's always
great teams Venezuela, Cuban like Cuba, they're all great teams.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It's just when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Basketball, that is the league that players from all over
the world are aiming to get to.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Arrogance by the NBA in take in, it's not it's
an NBA product, it's not a world basketball.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Product, but it's become a world product.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
They're NBA champions, they're they're NBA champions, they're not World.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Champions, but it's become a world product because everybody wants
to come and play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I understand that, but it's not a true determination of
who's the best in the world like it's there. There
could be other teams in other countries, but we don't
have Denver's not going to go to Australia and play
a best YEA seven series against.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Whoever and then during FIBA during the Olympics typically USA wins.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
No, and those are NBA players.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Typically, if if we could name this, we could be
the world champions of this time slot right now.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And we are, and that's a way we are.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
That's what the NBA is doing. That's what the NBA
is putting World champions on it. World Series, it's much
broader World Baseball Classic. I'm fine with feeble World Cup, Olympics.
You want to call yourself world champs. I'm on Noah
Lyles side. Sorry, Kevin Durant, Aaron Gordon, Kendrick Perkins, Austin Rivers,
everybody else who had a problem with it, and Manci
(35:26):
Belagya I had a problem with.

Monzi on social media at Monzy Belanios hit me up
at Dan Byer on Fox. We are the world champions
of this time slot. We'll get to that in about
twenty minutes or so, the world champions of this time slot.
I don't know if the Los Angeles Rams are going
to win anything this season, and there may be reason
for them to not win anything at all this season
(36:22):
because then maybe they can chart their future at the
quarterback position and further down the road, because right now, Monzi,
the quarterback position seems to be another problem for the Rams.
After comments made by Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly Stafford on
her podcast The Morning After, Let's hear from Kelly Stafford
(36:42):
talking about how her husband is adjusting to life with
the new look Rams.
Speaker 10 (36:47):
It's kind of crazy. So Matthew's been in the league
a long time, right, We've been talking about this. He's like,
the difference in the locker room has changed so significantly,
and they have a lot of rookies on their team.
The shuy very young, so this will be a very
interesting season. You know, they're young, they're learning. But he's like,
I feel like I can't connect because in the old days,
(37:10):
you would come out of come out of practice, you'd
shower this during training camp shower, people would be playing cards,
people would be interacting. Who knows what they're doing, he said.
Now they get done with practice, or get done with
meetings or in training camp, and they go straight to
their phones. So Matthew's like, I don't even know how
to am I the dad? Do I take the phones?
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
What do I do here?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
I mean there?
Speaker 10 (37:33):
And He's like, I want them to see me as like,
not as like a He's like as a coach. You know.
He feels like they say like sir to him, and
he's like, no, no, no, we're on the same level here.
We're both playing in this league. Like, let me get
to know you.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Interesting words from Kelly Stafford, Very interesting words, considering she
is pulling back the curtain on what is usually a
not an unknown situation or a kept secret, but basically
out of the issues that her husband is having right
now with his new teammates.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, Kelly, what are you doing girl? Why did you
say all this was your goal to get sympathy? Because
I don't think that's what that's.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
What he's getting from this. I don't feel bad for him.
I don't understand what's the problem with these rookie players
looking up to you. What is the problem with that,
with them calling you sir, with them thinking that you
are an experienced NFL player.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
You are, and yes there is an age difference. Obviously
some guys are gonna be on their phone.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
But I don't I don't get what the goal if
this was to get If the goal was to.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Get sympathy, it fell flat. No, I don't know why
you said this, Kelly Stofford.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I think that was part of the reason why she
did it. I also think that the Rams probably are
in line for a not great season, and it is
laying some of the groundwork for a softer landing for
her husband.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
But it the reasoning behind it is like, oh, you
you had a say.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
A bad word.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
You had a bad season because you couldn't connect with
the young kids. That's not that doesn't make it better,
that doesn't soften the blow.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You're right, You're you're right, And there's so we were
at the Doug Gottlieb Show, was at RAMS camp earlier
this month, and over and over again we had heard
thirty five to forty rookies on this team for if
this you're gonna have a you know, eighty guys out
there on training camp, had half of them, you know,
(39:36):
new to this team. Kep on hearing that over and
over and over and over, and it's kind of like
when we talked about Last Hour. If you missed it,
get the podcast Foxsports Radio dot com. There's a reason
that messages are being sent out, like there were messages
being sent out for the forty nine ers to try
to portray a certain image about their quarterback room. And
(39:57):
I think you're hearing this message from the Rams to
kind of tell their fan base and tell everybody else
we don't expect a lot this year. This is a
whole new sort of deal. So I think to Kelly
Stafford's point is she's taking that information and saying, well,
when they have a bad year, it's not my husband's fault.
It's not his fault that he's the one who's got
(40:18):
the accomplished one here, and it is he is not
connecting with a team right now. So it's not the
Super Bowl champion of Pro Bowl quarterback's fault. It's the
fault of the thirty others in the room that he
didn't connect with. That's what I think was going through
her mind in saying this.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
It's just like, girl, did you watch the first episode
of Hard Knocks, because if you did, they portrayed Aaron
Rodgers as this veteran everybody. Oh my goodness, let's respect him.
I can't believe you know, you're the guy I get
to play with, and it was so cool to see.
So it's like, now you're saying, but Matthew Stafford doesn't
like that. I don't think the timing is right. When
(40:57):
we're watching Hard Knocks and we're seeing that Aaron Rodgers
is respected and looked up by all these rookies, Like
the timing iss just not well. Is not played out
well for me. But I wrote down just because I
don't want to forget. Do you think she tells Do
you think she's like, hey, babe, I'm gonna say this,
Are you okay with it? Because I feel that if
I were Matthew Stafford been like absolutely not, No, what
(41:20):
telenovela is this? No?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yeah, I wouldn't No, there's no way that he would
want this right there? Yeah? Absolutely yeah. And so it's like, girl,
why how do you go? How do you go into
the locker room than the next day and then try
to connect with these guys.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Right right when the guys are like thinking, oh, man,
like I'm here being a respectful player to this teammate
and instead you're saying that you can't connect with me
from it, Like what do you want? You want me?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
You want to know what rubbed me wrong about this?
The most is this isn't uncommon And you mentioned Aaron Rodgers.
This was actually something that had happened with the Packers
when Rogers was a rookie and Brett Farr was wavering
on whether to come back or not. After realize that
(42:06):
when Brett Farr was trying to decide if he was
going to play football, it happened over multiple seasons where
then Aaron Rodgers was the backup well time and time again.
Each year there are new players that come in players.
The age of that time of Aaron Rodgers. One of
the things that made the transition a lot easier for
the Packers where the team could relate to Aaron Rodgers
(42:26):
because he was of their age. Brett Farr was the
one with the old veteran and the special spot in
the locker room, the special treatment. The young guys could
not relate to him as well as they could of
Aaron Rodgers. So the transition, while not immediate success in
Hall of Fame worthy, was much smoother than what you
would have, you know, had in any other situation. And
(42:50):
so this isn't foreign, this isn't different. It's you know,
a veteran quarterback not connecting with the team. What's different is,
to your point is it's now been made public. And
I'm sorry. I'm forty six and my wife yells at
me for having my face in my phone too much.
I don't think it's a generational thing. I think it's
guys who haven't played with each other. Yeah, they don't
(43:11):
know anybody else. And honestly, the guy to bring them
together is number nine, right exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
You're you're the quarterback, this is your team. You won
a Super Bowl two years.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Ago, like you have to be the one that leads
them and brings everybody together and also not be affected
by it. And I wonder if, like she just he
said a one liner, a one liner, like a throwaway.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Yeah, those guys, man, I can't I can't keep up
with them.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And she dissected it and took it into this, like
what if he didn't even say all the things she said.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
It's just like you said, this isn't the first time.
This happens all the.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Time with the veteran quarterback, I assume, And obviously it's
gonna be an easier transition if it is a younger
quarterback that you can relate to.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
But that's not I'm not I don't know.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Did I play the role of Matthew Stafford? Go ahead,
okay Stafford?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Am I oh nobody, Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Matthew Stafford comes home, sits on the couch. Well, Kelly
Stafford's maybe on the same couch. I'm assuming they have
a big couch with a chase, yeah lounge. Yeah, and
I comes home and so uh, let's start the scene
and action. Man. I just yeah, you know, I just
(44:35):
know these guys have the you know, their phones in
their face and people are calling me, sir, I just
can't connect with these guys. And scene, that's it.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
That's exactly what I think happened.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
And then he grabs a soda and just started watching
something hard knocks, you know, like I. And then she
just dissected it into something and then told the world
and again just like Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Why did you tell us this?
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Why did you say this out loud on your podcast
called The Morning After.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
Which is a name that I would probably change, but.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
You know, better options.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
I think there's better options in the Morning Out.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Maybe there's regrets. Yeah, maybe that's why. Maybe it's apropos.
Maybe that's why it fits.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
There we go, that's it now it all make sense.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Jerry Jones though, is like Jerry Jones is great for
us and for those that don't like the Cowboys to
hear and run his mouth and talk about it and
gives a lot of people the stuff to talk about.
This seems because it is one person removed from the source,
that there's a it's it's almost it's a weird locker
(45:38):
room violation that if she's been the wife of an
NFL quarterback for fifteen years you should understand.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Yeah, like this is actually not a bad thing, you
know what I mean, Like it's a.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
It's a common thing, but it is something that actually
shows a deficit with your house or something that he's
lacking as opposed to you want to put your husband
in the light and that to your to your point
of what her goal was, it just completely backfired.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Yeah, because what if she would have just said something like, oh,
you know, he's having a he's trying to figure out
how to connect with the young guys and that's it.
What if it was something that simple, but instead she
made it seem like it's a problem.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, like a real problem. And I'll say one thing,
and I know Jason Stewart wants to chime in as well.
It's not like Lesneine and Sean mcvair like we got
to get some old guys in here, like this is
you know, we got let's let's let's line up some
thirty five year old So no, like, yeah, it's not
going to change nights and they're not going to bring
in more guys so Matthew Stafford can play cards with
in the locker room. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
So we're not playing cards. Nobody's playing cards, Jason.
Speaker 12 (46:47):
I was just thinking this as you guys are talking
about this. I don't know if it's Matthew Stafford complaining
to his wife because he can't relate to this to
the players, it's because he doesn't, at this point in
his career, want to try. That's an effort that he
doesn't really want to put in on a team that's
not gonna win. And then you start connecting the dots.
Remember that weird report Michael Lombardi came out in July
(47:09):
and said that the Rams feverishly tried to trade Stafford,
and then they denied it. And then there was that
report that they tried to get him to take less
money and he would not do it. The dots are
starting to be connected here, and it just seems like
his time with the Rams is on short time, but
he makes so much darn money. I don't know if
(47:30):
there's any choice. They seem to be stuck with each other.
Am I reading this whole thing wrong?
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I don't. I don't think it's a wrong read. There
will be a way like, there will be a way out,
and if they end up getting the first overall pick
something that the Arizona Cardinals are trying to beat the
Rams to do today by releasing Colt McCoy. I mean,
right now, like that, that's what it appears, and I
think that the Rams would love that if you could
get Caleb Williams, it's gonna be a theme We're talking
(47:55):
about the entire regular season. So it's it's apparent now.
But to your point of if the Rams were to
get the first overall pick, I think they'd be tickled
pink and would figure out away for Matthew Stafford to
be gone and figure out a way to move him.
I don't think that it's far fetched of what you're
saying that there are these thoughts that are connected that
(48:16):
he is not wanted. However, this isn't coming from the Rams.
This is coming from him and his side of the story.
So I just don't know. I just think that she
just tried to curry favor because maybe of the things
that you were alluding to, Jason, that she tried to
make it a softer landing for her husband and it
(48:37):
made him actually look worse.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
Yes, No, I just I'm from this point on, I
hope Matthew Stafford is having a conversation with his wife.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
What are you going to talk about today?
Speaker 6 (48:47):
Honey?
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Great, Make sure I'm not a topic of conversation, because
what's the point.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I don't I would hate that. I would hate that.
And it just really really did not land the way
she thought.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah, and also like he's not a disliked dude, Like
he doesn't need the sympathy, you know.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
What I mean, Like, yeah, you know the reason that
I hesitated as I feel that there's a reason that
they're married is they kind of think the same way,
Like they're thinking, like he's thinking, like, you know, don't
call me sir. You know who makes it easier to
not call you, sir, Matthew Stafford. Hey, just call me
matt right, make it easy. He's the one. Aaron Donald's
(49:31):
the one Cooper cups, the one that eases all of that.
It's not the responsibility of the twenty three year old
rookie to adjust to that NFL locker room or adjust
to those guys. I think that he'd be surprised maybe
at how some of those rookies actually connected instead of
just everybody sitting there on their phone. By the way,
(49:52):
I've never been in an NFL locker room where guys
weren't on their phones at least at.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
Some point, right at least in the last what five
seven years, ten years, everybody's on their phone, you know what,
Ask them what they're playing.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
Maybe you could play with them, maybe they're all playing together.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
They had an awful preseason as well. They went zero
to three. And I know he didn't Matthew Stafford didn't
play in any of those games. But I don't want
to read another preseason mm hmm. But you just kind
of wonder of, like, is what is this set up for?
I don't think Sean McVeigh came back for this, you know,
for this specific instance. I think that there's other stuff
(50:31):
maybe ahead that he could be sticking around for. But
it just does not seem that the arrow at any
point is moving up for the Rams, and you are
they are one of the teams that were in consideration
of possibly tanking and trying to get the first overall
pick and everything in this preseason. What Jason said, to
what you said, to what Kelly Stafford said, leads me
(50:53):
to believe that that is actually their main goal instead
of trying to compete for a playoff spot, and what
is a wide open NFC by the way.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
Yeah, I mean clearly them and the Cardinals are.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
Already trying to see who can tank first, yes, both
of them.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
All right, Kelly Stafford, do you think that's something we're
going to cut cold with coy today? So we don't
even have a quarterback right now exactly except the one
that we acquired in a trade last week, but that's
a different story. She's once Blano, So I'm Dan Bayer.
That's John Ramos.
Speaker 5 (51:22):
I always tell Sazanna and her podcast, keep my name
out your mouth.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
That's right to her, that's right, Susie.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Q on any podcast thing everywhere. How episodes Susanne in
on that podcast by the way.
Speaker 5 (51:36):
Point five, So she's halfway through her first episode and
she's not quite sure when she's going to finish it.
That's good, but I already told her, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Knock me out.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Don't tell people what goes on.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
Nope, the fifth wall will not be broken, or the
fourth or whatever wall.
Speaker 2 (51:52):

on with the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I mean, for real, though, like, could it could you
be a little bit less?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Obviously, they should just release all their quarterbacks. Do it
forty nine Ers style. Just do it like like they've
been the NFC Championship game. Jason Stewart's here, John Ramos
is here. Mike Golick Junior is gonna join us in
about twenty five minutes, talking about everything that's going on
in sports. He has Pops launching a new show today,
(01:20):
and so we're excited to talk with Mike. But we
are talking about Trey Lance, the forty nine Ers, and
the Dallas Cowboys. This weird love triangle that features hate, deception,
secrets and all that. And I want to start with
the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Out of things mind so really good, Yeah, really good one.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
I would call it fools Goldau.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So they.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
You guys are just good, yeah, they Let's go to
someone who speaks Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Let's go to someone who speaks Spanish, John Ramos. Isn't
it or isn't orta Spanish? I mean the gold out.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I was thinking of something. I was trying to think
of it, but it's auto. You're right, you're right. But yeah,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
John knows five words in span that happens one of
them that and Ola and Albano and and you're right,
this is the Telenuel.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, Noela, He's saying, toilet guys, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Ub apropos for all these teams to deal with this
stuff because Shret's been in the crapper. I mean the
way that the Niners have treated Trey Lance. We give
the forty nine ers this free pass because they make
NFC championship games. Yet they could not, they could not
have done Trey Lance worse throughout his time. And then
(02:48):
and then you hear you hear John Lynch saying, you know,
and Trey apologized to us, and there's nothing to apologize for.
Oh there is. You should be apologizing to Trey Lance,
for you repeatedly drove the bus over Trey Lance time
and time again in his NFL career. Trey Lance he
(03:09):
apologized for us having a workout. He had no reason yeat.
You ever reason, John Lynch, You ever reason? Kyle Shanahan
and I would say, MONTI that I think, like, all right,
so we give the forty nine ers a break. They
are winning football games. They are a storied franchise, and
this current regime has had success in getting the Super
Bowls and getting to NFC Championship games. But this isn't
(03:31):
the first time this has happened. Like this is Jimmy
Garoppolo has felt the wrath of a Kyle Shanahan and
a Niners front office bus going over them and back
over them. And I just I look at Trey Lance.
We'll get to the Cowboys. So if you ain't the Cowboys,
don't worry. That's coming up very very soon. But right now,
I just I am. I'm sick of the forty nine
(03:51):
ers getting these free passes because hey, it's Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch and then I know what's going on.
This is the second quarterback that they've brought in. I
know they that they have in their in their quarterback
room that they have not treated well. Jimmy Garoppolo recently said,
don't believe everything you hear because Kyle Shanahan multiple occasions,
we're gonna trade Jimmy. Yeah, Jimmy's not coming back. Blah
(04:13):
blah blah, this and that, blah blah blah blah blah.
Like there seems to be something going on with San
Francisco and the constant the constant thread is the forty
nine ers not treating their quarterbacks. Well.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I agree with you. I do have one thing that
I will say, I.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And that's next on Canoe.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Mantia. Listen.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
One thing for sure is I think obviously having Trey
Lance as like a QB three is too expensive on
any roster, right, So that's that's something that I.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Take into consideration.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
But I do agree with you something is off here
because you know, Kyle Shanahan, you know, quote unquote could
be like the quarterback whisper right, like he seems.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
To figure out how to mask weaknesses.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Seems yeah, it seems.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
To be able to mask weaknesses when it comes to
certain quarterbacks.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
With his system.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So it's interesting because that they weren't able to make
this one work, but yet dragged it on, dragged it.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
On for so long. Why did we drag it on?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I think that it was dragged on because they also
didn't like Jimmy Garoppolo and then Brock Purty fell in
their lap. And that's the other thing is they're going
to get a lot of credit for drafting Brock Purty
and developing Brock Party. But my point to that is
if the forty nine ers really knew what they were doing,
then why did they bring back Jimmy Garoppolo last season
(05:31):
when they had drafted Brock Purty. Why did they have
brock Purty be the number three? If you was supposed
to be so good in the air apparent, and then
when Trey Lance ends up getting injured, you played Jimmy Garoppolo.
I get it. Brock Purty then had a half a
season to get ready and fit you like a glove
into that forty nine ers offense, and they continued to roll.
(05:52):
But I don't think that they can take credit for
the development of brock Purty over that seven or eight
week span or whatever the half the season was, just
for the simple fact of if he was that good,
and if he was the guy that they truly truly
believed in, then why was Jimmy Garoppolo back in the
first place.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's a really good point, and I don't have an
answer to that.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
But obviously I feel that when I say dragged it on,
I feel that it's like they knew very early on
that Trey Lance wasn't going to be their guy. That's
what it seems like, correct, And that's what sucks about
this now that Jimmy Garoppolo is a separate thing.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Why you know, But it really just goes down to
you knew Trey Lance was.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Not the best shit and he wasn't living up to
the expectations you had.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
You want to know what else is so key about
that point is they knew Trey Lance wasn't going to
be the guy, and you would think you would think
that in the off season because he was going to
be traded. He was. They brought in Sam Donald. The
only question was what happens with brock Perty's elbow? How
significant is this injury? Is he going to be ready
for Week one? The only thing that I heard this
(06:57):
offseason was and that's why you would keep Trey Lance
around us to be insurance. If Brockbird he wasn't ready,
then you could start Sam Donald. But the only thing
that we heard with the ravery views about Sam Donald
hex Sam Donald may have the best arm of any
of these forty nine er quarterbacks. Telling you what Sam
Donald is getting this? You didn't hear that about Trey Lance. Never.
(07:18):
What you heard about is, yeah, Trey Lance is struggling,
which is so backwards when you think about it, because
if they didn't want him there, wouldn't you want to
hype him up to trade him? Yes, and hope that
someone would give you a fourth throng pick like Dallas
did again. Dallas haters, don't worry, we got you locked
in like two minutes. But this is the point of
(07:39):
you would think you would want to upsell Trey Lance, right,
and they never did that. They did him so wrong
in San Francisco that it is such a blessing that
he is now out of there. He had nothing to
apologize for. Even the hyping of Sam Donald, to me,
was such a slap in the face to Trey Lance.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Couldn't agree with you more on that. It's like, really,
all of this about Sam Donald, and we know what
Sam Donald is. We've seen him for years, we know
what he is capable of, we know what product he is.
The way that they really diminished everything Trey Lance was doing,
and just for so long again, you dragged it on
for so long to just trade him, you would think
(08:19):
that it was like, no, we're gonna we're gonna keep
this guy, and we're gonna work with him and we
are going to help him get better.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, he never got He never got the benefit of
the dollars ever.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
And I know injuries, unfortunately were a factor in this,
right unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
But still, but still they didn't take care of their player.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I agree. I'm locked up with you. And now Dallas Cowboys.
The Dallas Cowboys have Trey Lance as a player. And
that's the part where now we go to a whole
different conversation with yeah, like do we have a do
we have a guitar transition that we could do? Like
would there? Would there? I think of the Saved by
the Bell the that's my electric guitars.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Let me tell you, I was a big fan of
say by the Belt, and I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I just want you to know SBTB guitar transition, and
I'm sure it's somewhere in the system. John Ramos, Oh
oh that's pretty good. I like that. Now let's talk
about the Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that Trey Lance
is in sticking up for Trey Lance. I don't think
(09:26):
that he is any threat to Dak Prescott none whatsoever.
Cooper rushes their backup quarterback. It's Jerry Jones. I know,
giving up a fourth throne pick. Some people are pulling
their hair out. It's going to be a fifth round
pick anyway, So maybe they just misjudged it by a
little bit. I don't think that Trey Lance is any
threat to Dak Prescott. We don't know if Trey Lance
can even get on the field and then learn what
(09:47):
he needs to learn. I feel that there's this overreaction
right now to the Trey Lance acquisition in Dallas that
he could be a threat to the Dallas starter.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I don't think he is a threat on and paper
skill wise, I don't, But I do think there is
a psychological aspect here when it comes to how Dak
has to be feeling about this.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
That's where I think the move sucked.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
It's like, no, Trey Lance shouldn't be a threat to you,
But it's impossible. If I were Dak Prescott and I
didn't know this was happening and I found out about it,
there's no way I am not letting that affect.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Me after the season I just had, after the seasons.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
I've had since I broke my ankle, Like I haven't
been the best I've been since that injury. And you
do this to me and you don't tell me about it,
There's no way I'm not psychologically thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
There's no way, Guys, impossible.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Jerry Jones tried to explain it because he also didn't
let his head coach know before they did the dal
This is the Cowboys owner in GM over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
Don't have anybody until we did it. Period, there was
nobody that knew it. We told my accatter we've done it.
But my point is we just wanted to get it done.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Have you talked it back since then?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, I have not done.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
I when you say you told Mike after it, did
he have any input on on it?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Just that he lacked him as a quarterback coming out.
That's our decision.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Zero leaks. How about the Cowboys front office? Even things
tight some of the forty nine ers couldn't do. When
want of the bad talk Trey Lance.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I mean, yes, fine, we'll give credit to the front office.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yes, but awful everything he said, like what a perfect
villain in telenovela. Honestly, like it's all about Jerry and
I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
As much as.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Dak has not been the quarterback you may have wanted
the last couple of seasons, he is still the face
of your franchise. You still owe him the respect you
should have told him, even if it was a literal
a text.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Hey, bra I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Sorry, but just so you know, like, I don't think
he should have pulled the rug from under it.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
You know what I'm saying. You think it would have
texted like that too.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
I I oh. I think here's the deal. Dak could
take it anyway that he wanted to. He could have
taken the information anyway that he wanted to. And if
he took it personally and didn't like it and felt
it was a threat, which I don't think it was,
that's on Dak. But Jerry Jones's hands in that instance
are clean. He could look at it as a negotiating ploy,
(12:25):
and Dak may get his feelings hurt and saying that, hey,
the cowboys are trying to let me know, put me
on notice. But again, that's Dak's way of interpreting it.
I do agree with you that the right thing to do.
He didn't have to do it. He didn't have to
tell Dak. Prescott probably should have let his head coach,
no different story, But for Dak's Dak's situation, it would
(12:49):
have been the right thing to do.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It would have been the right thing to do.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
And I actually do think he's doing it on purpose
to mess with his head I one believe that he's
you know what, he's probably over it. He probably doesn't
want Dak Prescott anymore on his team, and he's probably
slowly shoving him out.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
DA's got to respond from that playoff game against the
forty nine ers. Yes, yes, there has to be something
then like that. Now, everything that has been done this offseason.
They lost Dalton Schultz, they don't have Ezekiel Elliott, but
you brought in Brandon Cooks, you have now Mike McCarthy
calling the plays. You're hoping for the change, which, by
the way, was a really good offense. I mean they were.
(13:33):
They just Dak throws two interceptions against the forty nine ers.
That's what you're hoping for in taking that next step.
So it is on Dak's shoulders to produce. I don't
think Jerry wants him out. I think that Jerry wants
to see if Dak can produce this season, which I
(13:54):
feel the jury is out by a lot of people
who watch the NFL and still have questions about Dak Prescott.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Make sure that's fair. You're not wrong about that.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Get I think I'm just based on how Jerry Jones
handled it.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think he is more than just giving him a
heads up.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
I really do think it seems that, in my opinion,
that he is slowly just getting rid of Doc.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I also feel that Jerry Jones, like they did pay
up high price tag and the Niners said, we didn't
think anybodyould give us a fourth form, which again shot
at Trey Lance and even kind of a shot at
Jerry Jones. I felt that if the Cowboy or the
Niners were to trade Trey Lance, they probably would have
wanted to trade him out of conference. And so if
they were looking for a six or seventh rounder. If
you had two teams that were going for Trey Lance's services,
(14:39):
one was in the AFC and let's say the other
one was the Cowboys, and they were both offering sixth
round picks, you're going to trade them to the AFC
team probably wanting out of the conference. So that would
mean the Cowboys would have to up their offer to
a fifth round pick. They actually upped it to a
fourth maybe not judging the market as well, but still
you were invested to at least a fifth round pick.
So I'm not going crazy over a fourth round pick
(14:59):
being let fort Ray Lance for a guy who we
still have no idea about and still may need a
couple of years to develop. It does put Dak unnoticed
and the phone call would have been right. My only
problem with Jerry Jones is this because I do want
to stand up for him, and I do want to
say if other teams made the similar move, they would
(15:19):
have been thought of his geniuses. But because it's Jerry,
and Jerry just doesn't tell Dak, and doesn't tell Mike
McCarthy and sometimes does his own way, we look at
it as a negative. Jerry also doesn't shut up, and
Jerry had this to say when talking about drafting and
wanting the draft Jalen hurts, which makes me look like
an idiot for standing up for Jerry Jones. Here's Gerald.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
I think, had we been able to draft him with
next year, is full the kind of talent he was
in this draft. Like I just told you two years ago,
we were looking at Philadelphic quarterback and calling names, but
looking at him. Had he fallen to us there, we
would have drafted him. It is our plan when we can,
but it very seldom happened to have someone of a
(16:03):
uh A quality to be there at the right place
with our draft pick, and this one worked.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He wasn't talking about Ron Jaworski or Randall Cunningham when
he was talking about Eagles quarterbacks. He was talking about
Jalen Hurts, who the team could have drafted in the
second round when Hurts his pick, but they took Trayvon
Diggs two picks before. So that's the point of where
Jerry is just like, Okay, well, if you really liked
Jalen Hurts that much, yeah, you would have just taken
him at what fifty one instead of fifty three where
the Eagles ended up drafting him.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
And also, why did you sell us? Why did you
tell us this?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Why did you? How does this anything? How does Why
did you share that information? Jerry? Would you call him?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I called him Jerald? But yeah, that's what I was
gonna say. That should be the name of his show, Hurraldo.
Nobody said that show?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Why did first? I'm going to write it down, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Why porque?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Why say it?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Why say that? During during this time, when these things
are happening, when you're making these moves.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Why did you say that?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Because he's he's trying to get in DAC's head.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, he has diary of the mouth. That's what he's got. Like, sorry,
it just does talks.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Both can be true. Yeah, I'm just saying you're not
wrong about that.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Next up on her although.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
What was the there?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It is? Next up the the ongoing saga in the
drama what is soap opera man? The two two storied
franchises in the National Football League. It's a good thing
like a team like the Green Bay Packers doesn't have
this sort of infighting and drama with their star players.

This is the best of the Don dot Leap Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Zuko for three and that's good.

That's good.

Danny Zuko's got twenty eight Grease though trails the US
seventy two fifty eight.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You know that movie always amazes me that I was
supposed to believe that they were in high school.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'm sorry, what they look fifty seven? What are we doing?
What are we doing? But we all believed it. We
all went with it. We're like, all right, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Olivia and John was thirty years old.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I believe, Yes, No, they were, they were adults.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Travolta was forty nine. I think got oh yeah, don't hey, John,
don't quote me on that.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I'm gonna find out. I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
He was twenty five or twenty four. It's the Gottlieb Show,
Fox Sports Radio. She's montzu Blanios, I'm Dan Bayer, John
Ramos is here. Jason Stewart, Nick Cope. Nick's gonna give
us an update at the bottom of the hour. He
would have given us an update on the Little League
World Series if it happened today, but it didn't because
it ended yesterday. Like this.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Challenge old, he doesn't again for you.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
You're a Little League World Series chess.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
Hold on the walk, hold on, I'm a back for
the Thank forever.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Was up there.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That's because he's six' one, like, like, there's nothing little
about that Little League Yesterday like like I ununderstand, but
when you're taller than the ump, like there's I'm sorry,
I cannot get over this, and I am. I am
happy for El Segondo. They are world champs. They beat
Curous out for the championship. There was a whole separate
(19:56):
international bracket and then you all met in the for
the championship game. There's no questions about world champions We'll
get to that in a little bit. But I just
when you're six' one and you're playing like he dwarfed
the catcher. It looked like he was holding a toothpick
when he came to bat.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Yes, he did that, he did. It was funny to
see him taller than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
How old are they.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, John Ramos, you said that this kid.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
He's twelve years nine months, so he just just made it.
I'm not sure the exact cut off. I don't think
it's actually thirteen. I do think it's a little bit
under twelve. I think you have to be twelve before
a certain time, and he probably beat that. If he
did it, it was close, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Wow, no, no, no, But it just looked funny. It visually,
it looked funny when you saw it and his like,
I do like his nickname.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Though, the natural that's.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
His nickname, be the adult like that that should be
the man. The adult is six one. Listen, I put.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
A mustache on. Let's make it fun. Let's make it fun.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I don't want I don't want to stereotype, but you
brought up mustache.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
My region where I'm from known for mustaches. My hometown
is mocked by other towns because maybe you grow mustaches
a little bit earlier than other cities. I knew guys
in high school with beards and mustaches. Did you guys know,
did you have anybody in your high school that was
growing a beard and a mustache?
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Very very few, but yes, okay, but no it was
not normal, right.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Yeah, and it was like the senior I actually had
a little bit of what we called peach fuzz, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Unfortunately they made me shave it because at the Catholic
school I was at, you couldn't have any type. And
it wasn't my fault, right, you're just going through pop
that stuff. The Yankees arch diocese r right. So they
sent me to the office to shave with cold water,
which as many people know, probably not a good thing,
and let you know, you know, it actually makes you
(22:11):
grow your beard more.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yes, yes, yes, I have pictures in ninth and tenth
grade of a crappy little cookie duster because I thought
a true story. I thought my mustache would grow back
like Tom Selleck. That's what I thought, And I'm like, gosh,
there's no way there. I am not. There's no way
(22:34):
I am shaving this mustache. Then it got to a
point where I had to and then realized, you know what,
you can shave again. It's not just a one time deal.
But I like, I woke up and there'd be this
forest of hair underneath my nose after the one shaving.
But yeah, I was. I was apprehensive too as well.
So it's not crazy to maybe if somebody, you know,
(22:55):
grow a little bit sooner. It's just weird where the
kid is six one and dwarfing the catcher, Like I
could not stop watching the video because of just how
ridiculous it seemed.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
I think it goes to show you too, that at
this time of Little League baseball, you need to have
a dominant player on your team to even come close
to winning this thing. The Chinese type pay team, who,
by the way, lost in the International Championship, had that
pitcher that was throwing like one hundred miles an hour,
and they chose, I think, not to start him, assuming
(23:29):
they would just win, and then they lost. But this guy,
I mean, every team would need this. It's Lewis lab Or.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Is that his? Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yes, every team to get in my opinion, to get
to that pinnacle of Litle league baseball needs a player
of his caliber on other team to do it.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Otherwise you're just not gonna make it. Sorry. Danny Almonte
is the poster child of this because of his actual
age when he was fourteen years old. Yes, but there
was another kid on that team was similar size. He
may have been twenty four years old. I don't know.
Maybe maybe the whole team was open, but it's just
(24:07):
that in proportion. And yeah, the kid pitched a great
game on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
He's a nice star.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I'm not I don't want to take away anything from
the kid because it's a great accomplishment. And I'm not
in the business of coming on the air and ripping
on twelve year olds. I'm not that that's not it. It
is just the visual aspect of the kid. Being six '
one when you're twelve and then going yard like and
it was it was a rocket like, it was, it
(24:33):
was gone.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But why would you throw him, who's basically the best
player that's been on the America side of the why
would you throw him any ball in the strike zone? Well, well, no,
I mean, even in Lucas's age group at eleven, we
we have ways of not throwing the ball in the
strike zone for anybody that we deeply be like, oh,
this guy can hit. I just found that to be
(24:57):
interesting from a coaching point of view.
Speaker 10 (24:58):
Share.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, yeah, that's a fun question.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
This guy has fifteen home runs, Just give him a
groove right down the middle.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Eighteen seconds after I said I'm not in the business
of criticizing twelve year olds, John criticizes the twelve year
old picture location, bad location? What are you doing, kid? Sorry?
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Oh that was the coach's fault. You're right, John, that
was the fall.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I saw a great TikTok who mocked Little League coaches
before they get to the Little League World Series and
then after. And I wish I could give the guy credit,
but it's totally it's like, all right, come on, Timmy,
you know, like feel the ball, you know where to throw?
You throw it the first excuse me, Colton hit the
cutoff man, Come on, you know what are you doing?
You're gonna be riding the pine. And then the Little
(25:42):
League World Series it's like, hey, guys, this is fun.
Look at this. It was so good. If I find
it on TikTok, I will repost it because it was
a great, great piece. At Buyer Talk is where you
can get it. But that's all. It's the Little League
World Series. As some people hate it, some people of it.
It's just weird seeing a six to one man child
(26:03):
come in uh with the toothpick at the plate and
then go yard and people losing his mind. And when
he's rounding the bases again he's taller than the second place. Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
It's so tall running those bases.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I guess the question would be too, is will he be?
I mean, I haven't seen his parents, but is he
gonna grow more?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Or you think?
Speaker 5 (26:21):
Sometimes that's wheret you not. You don't stop there. I
don't know when boy stopped.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
He was gonna be eight to six. It's probably gonna
be a t And then Lewis Lap I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I mean I'm sure he's gonna probably be would you
say maybe six four six five?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yeah, okay, that's pretty good. Maybe even a little bit more.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Oh man, he was. He was a giant. But hey,
congrats to El Segundo fair Place. John said, he's in
the batter's box. You gotta determine to pitch to him.
Coach decided to and the rest is history. Uh, they
are world champs. There's a true bracket. Other spots. Uh,
someone's got a problem with it. We'll get to that
in a second. Was there company Live from the tirereq
dot com Studios. First, Nick Kobs here with the latest.
Speaker 11 (27:02):
Do you guys remember Aaron Durley. This is going back
a little way two thousand and six Little League World Series.
All right, Lewis Lappie's got nothing on this kid from
Saudi Arabia six eight, two fifty six at age thirteen,
he was twenty one.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Okay, I searched it, Yes, Ice searched it.
Speaker 11 (27:26):
My goodness, you think Lappie looks ridiculous rounding the bases,
there's kids that are up to this guy's elbows.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
When you look at pictures that the picture looks like
a crown because you have the two coaches on one side,
and then the high point in the middle, which is Durley.
Take a look at this. Can you retweet a picture?
This was? This kid is six yeah, six ' eight,
My goodness, insane.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
He looks like a coach. Like a coach in that picture.
Speaker 11 (27:52):
It's like, do you remember the benchwarmers with Rob Schneider
And there's the other team and the guy's birth certificate.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He just hands it.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
I mean, he's clearly like thirty five. It says I
am fourteen on it, and the director of the Little
League is like, m checks out.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
To me, Oh my good get over the six eighteen.
Also also, I'm still looking at these pictures. I'm sorry.
It's not good for radio, but I am mesmerized.
Speaker 11 (28:20):
And we didn't hear it in the call John played,
but Carl Ravich had the all time announcers Jink Jinks.
Right before that clip, he says, Chrsao hasn't given up
a home run in this Little League World Series, damn.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Clank just perfect. The end of the Little League World
Series and the start of the US Open was always
the That was the notification that school is starting from
where I'm from. That was, yes, because the US Open bracketed.
When we would start the first week, we wouldn't be
in school. The second week we would be. Yes, the
end of summer is here.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
The end of summer is here.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
I didn't really have summers because I was playing sports.
So you know, I'll just lend it together. I didn't
really have summers. Yeah, and my volleyball coach is crazy,
so we'd have like hell week.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
And you hit seven to three.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Games, all right, don't get it twisted, no cap all right?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
If you won, if you won a tournament, let's you say,
in Chula Vista down near San Diego, would you consider
yourself world champions? Because Noah Lyles thinks that's what NBA
players are doing. This is what the US sprinter had
to say about the phrase using uh used by the
(29:30):
NBA and calling themselves world champions.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
If you know, the thing that hurts me the most
is that I have to watch the NBA finals and
they have world champion on their head.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
World champion of what the United States.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Do.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Ki't me wrong. I love the US at times, but
that the world. That is not the world. We are
the world.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
We have almost every country out here fighting, thriving, put
in on they flag to show that they are represented.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
There ain't no flags in the NBA. He's not wrong,
and I can't believe NBA players are actually taking shots
at him in terms of I get it, the best
players in the world come to the United States to
play in the NBA. But he isn't necessarily wrong in saying.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
I get I mean, yeah, like he isn't wrong because
the NBA is here, But he's wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
He just said that to get a rise out of people.
He just said that to have a hot take.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
My guy, All of the best players from all over
the world in basketball want to play in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
That's where they want to go play.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
I can't, okay, But then if the US wins the
World Cup, the Feeble World Cup, aren't they world champions?
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, so now you have two world champions. It's the
Denver Nuggets in the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Like we're splitting hairs. Here is what this guy wants.
But he's trying to diminish something when he doesn't need to.
In reality, these are the best basketball players in the
world and that's what the NBA is. That's why we
have Luca on in the NBA. It's not just US players.
And again, I feel like he just said it, what
(31:21):
about World Series?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
World Series you have a problem with Are you fine
with World Series even though now we have a World
Baseball Classic?
Speaker 5 (31:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Again, split hairs. He's trying to make a problem out
of nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
He's trying to make controversy out of nothing, and that's
what my problem.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I looked at it. I was like, who is this guy?
I literally was like, who is this person? Why do
you have USA across your chest? Who are you? Why
are you saying this? You're just trying to stir the
pot for no reason.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
You're splitting hairs when in reality, like, Okay, yeah, you're right,
the NBA is in the US.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Uh huh yeah? Is there a bigger basketball in the world.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So you're saying that we should just automatically assume that
the Denver Nuggets would beat any team that plays in yeah, Europe, Australia.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yes, I don't think any team in the world right
now would be the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
And maybe so, but there isn't a format to do it.
At least with the World Cup. You have countries playing
like it's not open to everyone. The World Series, it's
like if you were to say you're world champions in
the NFL, well, we're the only ones who play that
brand of football, so that would actually be more apropos
than maybe of the NBA or Major League Baseball, because
(32:39):
we're really the only ones who play it.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
But I even.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Disagree with you there because I don't think the NFL
is an international sport like basketball is.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Over in Europe.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
They're playing rugby, they're not playing NFL football. So I
disagree with you on that. When I think basketball goes
across internationally, it's the same sport, and yet people are
coming here, and it's just the US dominates for the
most part when it comes to the Olympics. When it
comes to Feba, they do end up usually dominating, and
a lot of the best players in the NBA don't
(33:08):
even go there because they want to take a break,
the don't want to get hurt, whatever reasons. But it's
it's just you just said this to stir the pot like.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Freez he did, and it's stern and it's bubblin and
I just I don't know what you would call the US.
Did they win the World Cup, they win the Olympics,
just gold medal winners. Is that is that sufficient?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
There's this bit of arrogance. That's that's the problem, Yes,
with with in his delivery. No, I'm talking about the
arrogance of the NBA. It makes the baseball just assuming
that they are the best in calling at the World
Champs when there isn't a true play play off to
determine that, even if it is assumed that the American
(33:51):
squad or the NBA or Major League Baseball squad would win.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
But I do I again, I feel like it's different
even with baseball, like in Basemall, I don't know if
the US is the best team. You know, there's always
great teams Venezuela, Cuban like Cuba, they're all great teams.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It's just when it comes to.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Basketball, that is the league that players from all over
the world are aiming to get to.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Arrogance by the NBA in take in, it's not it's
an NBA product, it's not a world basketball.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Product, but it's become a world product.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
They're NBA champions, they're they're NBA champions, they're not World.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Champions, but it's become a world product because everybody wants
to come and play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I understand that, but it's not a true determination of
who's the best in the world like it's there. There
could be other teams in other countries, but we don't
have Denver's not going to go to Australia and play
a best YEA seven series against.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Whoever and then during FIBA during the Olympics typically USA wins.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
No, and those are NBA players.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Typically, if if we could name this, we could be
the world champions of this time slot right now.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And we are, and that's a way we are.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
That's what the NBA is doing. That's what the NBA
is putting World champions on it. World Series, it's much
broader World Baseball Classic. I'm fine with feeble World Cup, Olympics.
You want to call yourself world champs. I'm on Noah
Lyles side. Sorry, Kevin Durant, Aaron Gordon, Kendrick Perkins, Austin Rivers,
everybody else who had a problem with it, and Manci
(35:26):
Belagya I had a problem with.

Monzi on social media at Monzy Belanios hit me up
at Dan Byer on Fox. We are the world champions
of this time slot. We'll get to that in about
twenty minutes or so, the world champions of this time slot.
I don't know if the Los Angeles Rams are going
to win anything this season, and there may be reason
for them to not win anything at all this season
(36:22):
because then maybe they can chart their future at the
quarterback position and further down the road, because right now, Monzi,
the quarterback position seems to be another problem for the Rams.
After comments made by Matthew Stafford's wife Kelly Stafford on
her podcast The Morning After, Let's hear from Kelly Stafford
(36:42):
talking about how her husband is adjusting to life with
the new look Rams.
Speaker 10 (36:47):
It's kind of crazy. So Matthew's been in the league
a long time, right, We've been talking about this. He's like,
the difference in the locker room has changed so significantly,
and they have a lot of rookies on their team.
The shuy very young, so this will be a very
interesting season. You know, they're young, they're learning. But he's like,
I feel like I can't connect because in the old days,
(37:10):
you would come out of come out of practice, you'd
shower this during training camp shower, people would be playing cards,
people would be interacting. Who knows what they're doing, he said.
Now they get done with practice, or get done with
meetings or in training camp, and they go straight to
their phones. So Matthew's like, I don't even know how
to am I the dad? Do I take the phones?
Speaker 6 (37:31):
Like?
Speaker 3 (37:31):
What do I do here?
Speaker 8 (37:32):
I mean there?
Speaker 10 (37:33):
And He's like, I want them to see me as like,
not as like a He's like as a coach. You know.
He feels like they say like sir to him, and
he's like, no, no, no, we're on the same level here.
We're both playing in this league. Like, let me get
to know you.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Interesting words from Kelly Stafford, Very interesting words, considering she
is pulling back the curtain on what is usually a
not an unknown situation or a kept secret, but basically
out of the issues that her husband is having right
now with his new teammates.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
Yeah, Kelly, what are you doing girl? Why did you
say all this was your goal to get sympathy? Because
I don't think that's what that's.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
What he's getting from this. I don't feel bad for him.
I don't understand what's the problem with these rookie players
looking up to you. What is the problem with that,
with them calling you sir, with them thinking that you
are an experienced NFL player.
Speaker 3 (38:30):
You are, and yes there is an age difference. Obviously
some guys are gonna be on their phone.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
But I don't I don't get what the goal if
this was to get If the goal was to.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Get sympathy, it fell flat. No, I don't know why
you said this, Kelly Stofford.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I think that was part of the reason why she
did it. I also think that the Rams probably are
in line for a not great season, and it is
laying some of the groundwork for a softer landing for
her husband.
Speaker 4 (39:00):
But it the reasoning behind it is like, oh, you
you had a say.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
A bad word.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
You had a bad season because you couldn't connect with
the young kids. That's not that doesn't make it better,
that doesn't soften the blow.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
You're right, You're you're right, And there's so we were
at the Doug Gottlieb Show, was at RAMS camp earlier
this month, and over and over again we had heard
thirty five to forty rookies on this team for if
this you're gonna have a you know, eighty guys out
there on training camp, had half of them, you know,
(39:36):
new to this team. Kep on hearing that over and
over and over and over, and it's kind of like
when we talked about Last Hour. If you missed it,
get the podcast Foxsports Radio dot com. There's a reason
that messages are being sent out, like there were messages
being sent out for the forty nine ers to try
to portray a certain image about their quarterback room. And
(39:57):
I think you're hearing this message from the Rams to
kind of tell their fan base and tell everybody else
we don't expect a lot this year. This is a
whole new sort of deal. So I think to Kelly
Stafford's point is she's taking that information and saying, well,
when they have a bad year, it's not my husband's fault.
It's not his fault that he's the one who's got
(40:18):
the accomplished one here, and it is he is not
connecting with a team right now. So it's not the
Super Bowl champion of Pro Bowl quarterback's fault. It's the
fault of the thirty others in the room that he
didn't connect with. That's what I think was going through
her mind in saying this.
Speaker 4 (40:35):
It's just like, girl, did you watch the first episode
of Hard Knocks, because if you did, they portrayed Aaron
Rodgers as this veteran everybody. Oh my goodness, let's respect him.
I can't believe you know, you're the guy I get
to play with, and it was so cool to see.
So it's like, now you're saying, but Matthew Stafford doesn't
like that. I don't think the timing is right. When
(40:57):
we're watching Hard Knocks and we're seeing that Aaron Rodgers
is respected and looked up by all these rookies, Like
the timing iss just not well. Is not played out
well for me. But I wrote down just because I
don't want to forget. Do you think she tells Do
you think she's like, hey, babe, I'm gonna say this,
Are you okay with it? Because I feel that if
I were Matthew Stafford been like absolutely not, No, what
(41:20):
telenovela is this? No?
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yeah, I wouldn't No, there's no way that he would
want this right there? Yeah? Absolutely yeah. And so it's like, girl,
why how do you go? How do you go into
the locker room than the next day and then try
to connect with these guys.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Right right when the guys are like thinking, oh, man,
like I'm here being a respectful player to this teammate
and instead you're saying that you can't connect with me
from it, Like what do you want? You want me?
Speaker 3 (41:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
You want to know what rubbed me wrong about this?
The most is this isn't uncommon And you mentioned Aaron Rodgers.
This was actually something that had happened with the Packers
when Rogers was a rookie and Brett Farr was wavering
on whether to come back or not. After realize that
(42:06):
when Brett Farr was trying to decide if he was
going to play football, it happened over multiple seasons where
then Aaron Rodgers was the backup well time and time again.
Each year there are new players that come in players.
The age of that time of Aaron Rodgers. One of
the things that made the transition a lot easier for
the Packers where the team could relate to Aaron Rodgers
(42:26):
because he was of their age. Brett Farr was the
one with the old veteran and the special spot in
the locker room, the special treatment. The young guys could
not relate to him as well as they could of
Aaron Rodgers. So the transition, while not immediate success in
Hall of Fame worthy, was much smoother than what you
would have, you know, had in any other situation. And
(42:50):
so this isn't foreign, this isn't different. It's you know,
a veteran quarterback not connecting with the team. What's different is,
to your point is it's now been made public. And
I'm sorry. I'm forty six and my wife yells at
me for having my face in my phone too much.
I don't think it's a generational thing. I think it's
guys who haven't played with each other. Yeah, they don't
(43:11):
know anybody else. And honestly, the guy to bring them
together is number nine, right exactly exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
You're you're the quarterback, this is your team. You won
a Super Bowl two years.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
Ago, like you have to be the one that leads
them and brings everybody together and also not be affected
by it. And I wonder if, like she just he
said a one liner, a one liner, like a throwaway.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Yeah, those guys, man, I can't I can't keep up
with them.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
And she dissected it and took it into this, like
what if he didn't even say all the things she said.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
It's just like you said, this isn't the first time.
This happens all the.
Speaker 4 (43:51):
Time with the veteran quarterback, I assume, And obviously it's
gonna be an easier transition if it is a younger
quarterback that you can relate to.
Speaker 3 (43:59):
But that's not I'm not I don't know.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Did I play the role of Matthew Stafford? Go ahead,
okay Stafford?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Am I oh nobody, Okay.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Matthew Stafford comes home, sits on the couch. Well, Kelly
Stafford's maybe on the same couch. I'm assuming they have
a big couch with a chase, yeah lounge. Yeah, and
I comes home and so uh, let's start the scene
and action. Man. I just yeah, you know, I just
(44:35):
know these guys have the you know, their phones in
their face and people are calling me, sir, I just
can't connect with these guys. And scene, that's it.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
That's exactly what I think happened.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
And then he grabs a soda and just started watching
something hard knocks, you know, like I. And then she
just dissected it into something and then told the world
and again just like Jerry Jones.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Why did you tell us this?
Speaker 4 (44:57):
Why did you say this out loud on your podcast
called The Morning After.
Speaker 3 (45:01):
Which is a name that I would probably change, but.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
You know, better options.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
I think there's better options in the Morning Out.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Maybe there's regrets. Yeah, maybe that's why. Maybe it's apropos.
Maybe that's why it fits.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
There we go, that's it now it all make sense.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Jerry Jones though, is like Jerry Jones is great for
us and for those that don't like the Cowboys to
hear and run his mouth and talk about it and
gives a lot of people the stuff to talk about.
This seems because it is one person removed from the source,
that there's a it's it's almost it's a weird locker
(45:38):
room violation that if she's been the wife of an
NFL quarterback for fifteen years you should understand.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
Yeah, like this is actually not a bad thing, you
know what I mean, Like it's a.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
It's a common thing, but it is something that actually
shows a deficit with your house or something that he's
lacking as opposed to you want to put your husband
in the light and that to your to your point
of what her goal was, it just completely backfired.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Yeah, because what if she would have just said something like, oh,
you know, he's having a he's trying to figure out
how to connect with the young guys and that's it.
What if it was something that simple, but instead she
made it seem like it's a problem.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Yeah, like a real problem. And I'll say one thing,
and I know Jason Stewart wants to chime in as well.
It's not like Lesneine and Sean mcvair like we got
to get some old guys in here, like this is
you know, we got let's let's let's line up some
thirty five year old So no, like, yeah, it's not
going to change nights and they're not going to bring
in more guys so Matthew Stafford can play cards with
in the locker room. That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
So we're not playing cards. Nobody's playing cards, Jason.
Speaker 12 (46:47):
I was just thinking this as you guys are talking
about this. I don't know if it's Matthew Stafford complaining
to his wife because he can't relate to this to
the players, it's because he doesn't, at this point in
his career, want to try. That's an effort that he
doesn't really want to put in on a team that's
not gonna win. And then you start connecting the dots.
Remember that weird report Michael Lombardi came out in July
(47:09):
and said that the Rams feverishly tried to trade Stafford,
and then they denied it. And then there was that
report that they tried to get him to take less
money and he would not do it. The dots are
starting to be connected here, and it just seems like
his time with the Rams is on short time, but
he makes so much darn money. I don't know if
(47:30):
there's any choice. They seem to be stuck with each other.
Am I reading this whole thing wrong?
Speaker 2 (47:34):
I don't. I don't think it's a wrong read. There
will be a way like, there will be a way out,
and if they end up getting the first overall pick
something that the Arizona Cardinals are trying to beat the
Rams to do today by releasing Colt McCoy. I mean,
right now, like that, that's what it appears, and I
think that the Rams would love that if you could
get Caleb Williams, it's gonna be a theme We're talking
(47:55):
about the entire regular season. So it's it's apparent now.
But to your point of if the Rams were to
get the first overall pick, I think they'd be tickled
pink and would figure out away for Matthew Stafford to
be gone and figure out a way to move him.
I don't think that it's far fetched of what you're
saying that there are these thoughts that are connected that
(48:16):
he is not wanted. However, this isn't coming from the Rams.
This is coming from him and his side of the story.
So I just don't know. I just think that she
just tried to curry favor because maybe of the things
that you were alluding to, Jason, that she tried to
make it a softer landing for her husband and it
(48:37):
made him actually look worse.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
Yes, No, I just I'm from this point on, I
hope Matthew Stafford is having a conversation with his wife.
Speaker 3 (48:46):
What are you going to talk about today?
Speaker 6 (48:47):
Honey?
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Great, Make sure I'm not a topic of conversation, because
what's the point.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I don't I would hate that. I would hate that.
And it just really really did not land the way
she thought.
Speaker 4 (49:04):
Yeah, and also like he's not a disliked dude, Like
he doesn't need the sympathy, you know.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
What I mean, Like, yeah, you know the reason that
I hesitated as I feel that there's a reason that
they're married is they kind of think the same way,
Like they're thinking, like he's thinking, like, you know, don't
call me sir. You know who makes it easier to
not call you, sir, Matthew Stafford. Hey, just call me
matt right, make it easy. He's the one. Aaron Donald's
(49:31):
the one Cooper cups, the one that eases all of that.
It's not the responsibility of the twenty three year old
rookie to adjust to that NFL locker room or adjust
to those guys. I think that he'd be surprised maybe
at how some of those rookies actually connected instead of
just everybody sitting there on their phone. By the way,
(49:52):
I've never been in an NFL locker room where guys
weren't on their phones at least at.
Speaker 4 (49:56):
Some point, right at least in the last what five
seven years, ten years, everybody's on their phone, you know what,
Ask them what they're playing.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
Maybe you could play with them, maybe they're all playing together.
Speaker 4 (50:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
They had an awful preseason as well. They went zero
to three. And I know he didn't Matthew Stafford didn't
play in any of those games. But I don't want
to read another preseason mm hmm. But you just kind
of wonder of, like, is what is this set up for?
I don't think Sean McVeigh came back for this, you know,
for this specific instance. I think that there's other stuff
(50:31):
maybe ahead that he could be sticking around for. But
it just does not seem that the arrow at any
point is moving up for the Rams, and you are
they are one of the teams that were in consideration
of possibly tanking and trying to get the first overall
pick and everything in this preseason. What Jason said, to
what you said, to what Kelly Stafford said, leads me
(50:53):
to believe that that is actually their main goal instead
of trying to compete for a playoff spot, and what
is a wide open NFC by the way.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
Yeah, I mean clearly them and the Cardinals are.
Speaker 3 (51:03):
Already trying to see who can tank first, yes, both
of them.
Speaker 2 (51:07):
All right, Kelly Stafford, do you think that's something we're
going to cut cold with coy today? So we don't
even have a quarterback right now exactly except the one
that we acquired in a trade last week, but that's
a different story. She's once Blano, So I'm Dan Bayer.
That's John Ramos.
Speaker 5 (51:22):
I always tell Sazanna and her podcast, keep my name
out your mouth.
Speaker 3 (51:26):
That's right to her, that's right, Susie.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Q on any podcast thing everywhere. How episodes Susanne in
on that podcast by the way.
Speaker 5 (51:36):
Point five, So she's halfway through her first episode and
she's not quite sure when she's going to finish it.
That's good, but I already told her, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
Knock me out.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Don't tell people what goes on.
Speaker 5 (51:48):
Nope, the fifth wall will not be broken, or the
fourth or whatever wall.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
Let me know when the Kiddi Boo episode drops. I
am just I definitely want to hear about that one.
