There they are. Stop the show for Tim Conway Jr.
We're not coming for him yet. Oh he oh delayed.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Conway lives to fight another day. You guys don't know.
But Conway when he used to do talk radio on
another station many years ago, back in the nine ven.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Point one Conway and Steckler when the nineties were really
bubbling under. Oh the station of Stern, Steckler and Conway
in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Come on, Tim Conway jun. You attack the Menendez brothers relentlessly,
some would say unfairly. Look at that hair I wouldn't
say that, but some would say unfairly. And now that
the Menendez would be the Menendez brothers would they would,
And there's some so they're on and their weird cousin.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And I'll tell you this right now. If those Menendez
brothers get out the first there and they're doing it's
probably going to the to.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The or Steeler get their nine to eleven. That and
maybe the orchids of Asia. Oh yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, and then they're gonna come here and kill Tim
Conway June. They're gonna come here and they're dog, that's
not funny. They do it loud, big dog, not cool.
Tons have sent it to him, big dog. That's gonna happen.
But now they they have the only reason I know
for a fact, the only reason the Menendez brothers want
to get out of jail because they're all institutionalized now
(02:06):
they're like uh uh Morgan free like read yeah, they're
asking to go to the bathroom and all that. And
the only reason they want to come out is for
retribution against Tim Conway Junior. They want Tim Conway Junior dead,
and they're going to come here and they're going to
take them out.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But big breaking news, and I can't believe the late
what happened. It just says resentencing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Hearing delayed because I don't want to be here when
the s goes down in Grenada. You know what I'm saying. No,
I don't want to get caught in the crossback. Exactly right,
justic as Conway attacked these crazy brothers back in the
nineties when I was still playing football.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's what you tell them, dies, I was playing football.
I want nothing, I know nothing, I got nothing. I
know nothing of your trial. Sure you spend a little
money after your cap the parents. Sure, fine, what what party?
Why wouldn't you drove a Porsche? Not everybody to the house,
danced around their dead lifeless bodies.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Took took some great international trips, bought yourself a really
expensive tennis coach. But I got nothing against you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Guys. Got to work on a game. Don't shoot me.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Let me get out of the way so you could
shoot Conway anyway. That's what we're paying attention to on
the television because the hearing has been delayed. Yes, why
did they delay it?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, I don't know. I'll just turned it on. Somebody
was watching Creed two. Do you think Conway has turned
that off and put on the KTLA news. Do you
think he's breathing a sire relief or do you feel
like it's like a stay of execution for him. That's
a great question. I think sire relief. I think the
signals dang don they're never getting out dang dog on
political theater.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, if Conway's around, we could talk to him, and
then that's scrum. By the way, Oh, this is I
mean that Connie likes scrum. You know who I don't
see in that scrum.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Jim Conway exactly running scared.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right if he shows up to work today, do you
want me to grab him before.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Four o'clock shows up to work. He's probably halfway to
Mazat Lawn right now. Well, for some reason, don't want
to face Eric. Look at those guys. They're pissed off.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I heard he's doing the show from Sarasota. Somebody is.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, okay, without further ado, we'll start the show again.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's almost like if you look close stop the show.
I'm sorry, Ronnie. It's almost like, if you look close
enough into the eyes of Eric and Lyle, you can
see a little Tim Conway Junior in a button down
short sleeve like hey, like you can see like they're
gonna they're gonna come for him.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know, nothing he can do. It's nothing you can do.
He's not built. No, he's not built a defender center.
He is not built to defend himself against the power
of the institutional licenman and his brothers.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now, if you're their health, their already capped their parents
and that was before they were penitentiary swollen. And now
they're going to come in and what they're going to
do to Conway term in half. And you think, if
I'm Tim Conway.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Gets upset about this, by the way, that's not okay.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
If I'm Tim Conway Junior, is the draw, the allure,
the sirens song of the track so powerful that I
still show up there even though I know I'm a
sitting duck for the Menendez brothers at Santa Anita.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
A lot of sight lines at sant Anita. You know,
you could really camp out, You could really camp out
and find yourself wide open space.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Man down and shoots the horses with a pellet gun
to affect the.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Races exactly right, wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
It be ironic, mister ding Dong with Eric and Lyle.
One's ding One's dog just going after.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Him, dog, ding Dong, Who's gonna kill me?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Ding Dong is Eric? No lion pulled out a gun?
Ding Dong. Oh he shot me in the knee, ding Dong.
We're not sticking around to see what happens. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But if it came down to it and I had
to take out one of those Menandez brothers.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You'd run like Hill.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No man, I'd be running there like Marky Mark he
would have done if he was on one of those
nine to eleven planes.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
If those Menanda's brothers came here and they did whatever
they did to Conway, I'd step up hard man. I'd
be like, you leave Tim Conway alone.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'd choke him out with one of these XLR cables.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Whoop. I'd jump over Sharon Bellio's body because you know
she'd be like leave a balloon, and then I just
attack Lyle.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
What about steffouche st.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Stefush is the one that sold Conway for thirty pieces
of silver. He's outside the station listening to the cock crow.
They gave him five Wiener schnitzeled turkey dogs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, he's like a dog. You throw the state to
distract the guard dogs.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Some guard dog looking him over there eating that ross steak.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Lil are peeking down the hallway. They see stefoosh and
they just throw a hot dog in tinfoil, A.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Bloody bag of ross state thrown down the hall chases
it panting. Conway sitting down kill zone.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, sorry, dog, that's not funny.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
They're right, I'm sorry. It's just they popped up, Matt.
They popped up on the screen. You see him there
on your screen. Those guys aren't getting out ever. I
hope so Ba boo boo. There are years that ask
(07:52):
questions and years that answer.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Cong Petro saying money Empire seventy l A Sports Live
Everywhere on the iHeart Radio to get a full four
hour show today from our Burbank studios. Four hours of
great sports talk on this Crutchy Grooven Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Ow, what's the matter, chast I have got a really
bad tramp.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I've been having really bad tramps all week.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's probably menstrul screw.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You Melon feeling.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We're gonna talk some college football in the very next
segment with our friend Andy Staples. The Nico MARIAVI mav
I Maria mariaba. Yeah, I am, well you want to
see yeah, my l I Maria. But you can say
it fast and get away with it out of Mayava.
And you're saying it, but people are like, no, you know, Ma,
(08:58):
you're not giving it the extra celebration. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well, I mean you know, you pronounce it that way.
This guy pronounces it that way. That dude over there
has got something else. That's what it is. Well, I
call him Nico, it's Nico Aya mariava.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Well, and then there's uh, well, there's the DJ, and
then there's the people that say DJ. Right, and it's like,
you don't have to worry about that anymore. Oh, but
what I still got it?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
He can still Joe Klatt it through the baseball or
the reverse Clatt? What's the reverse Clat? Try the football
doesn't work, go to the baseball. Clatt was tried the
baseball doesn't work, go to the football, right, wasn't that
didn't Clatt go back to Colorado after the minor league's
(09:48):
flamed out?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Two nine That's what he hit in the minor league.
Minor leagues are the Padres by the way, Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
God, I wish he was in that franchise. Now they're hot,
so we even baseball. We will get to the bottom
of the Nico Ni yah Madayava sweepstakes. But we were wrong,
Colin cow It's not locked up. Colin Coward was wrong.
Everybody was wrong. Well, Twitter was wrong. Everybody jumped on it, though,
(10:18):
and it was us. The kid did not commute, communicate
an absolute solid commitment to UCLA. Is that correct, Tim?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
ESPN last night was saying, well, sources say UCLA has
offered him an nil deal and a scholarship to UCLA,
but he is not signed with UCLA, And then UCLA
was okay with the fact that he was going to
think of his options and what he wanted to do,
meaning he could be out there using that offer as leverage.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, yeah, Well, he probably was not all that excited
by the incoming he was taking when people suggested that
he was going to be offered considerably less than the
two million in change the Tennessee was going to give him,
and he felt like a fool. I look like a fool.
Can't go to UCLA and take a million bucks when
I left two point whatever on the table.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But none of the money is official, right. You could
just tell people you don't know what I'm getting. Staples
might know. Forget the fact that I just rolled up
here and at Chrysler LeBaron.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's all. That's all beat up.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The only things great, The only thing that's happened in
the last twenty four hours since Colin Coward put that
tweet out there is there was a film crew outside
of his house in Knoxville, Nico's house, and they were
a moving van there and there was family members there,
you know, moving the bed forsa.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Was it rock and roll? Moving from Burbank? It might
might be that rock and roll you know, starving diving
student Tim Kate's Phoenix Tater tot move.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
It's a good company, by the way, if you need
somebody to move.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Ucla, though ESPN changed their story to ESPN UCLA is
among the schools interested in Nico.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Well, what the hell is that? And what kind of
headline is that?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Non sources? UCLA was content quote to sit tight, while
Nico considers so were.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We where we we we went.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We tried to supported our co We tried to support
our colleague, and now we look like idiot's right because
we said Nico Iamalaiaba was going to be a bruin.
We said it was all locked in yesterday. So Colin said,
now we have egg on our.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
F and that was like four hours after he had
clad on and said UCLA doesn't have the money. That
doesn't make any sense. And then like four hours later
I'm here in UCLA's got Nico locked up.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
So who's coming on to sort this out for us?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Tim Andy Staples, formerly a sports Let's Crack into the SEC,
now he actually works for on three dot com, which
is the story all over this whole Nico thing from
the get go. Last week they were the first ones
to report that he was not going to play in
the spring game and had not reported to Knoxville.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Look at that. So our friend Andy Staples Staples on
three one two three.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
An expert in in the diving world, an expert in
key lime pie, an expert on the Florida Keys, and
that Jimmy Buffett Lifestyle will join us in an SEC
man will join us. Maybe we'll play a pirate at
forty for him. In the very next segment, Matt corrections
and retractions. You stepped in it, and.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
What the hell did I do?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
My wife and I do the reverse clat from time
to time when we're feeling a little adventurous, and Matt
is not describing it correctly at all. That's why I
was silent when you were describing the reverse class.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's the reverse clat as that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Why.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Babe feel a little frisky? Class? I think it is.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's a variation on the Boston ground. You know, man,
it's been four days in a row that we have.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There is nothing else. There is nothing left. Oh, for real,
not possible. You want to hear him going and ring
him the belt? You know they all got or no,
they all ring in on the bell. You know when
they get on the Blue Origin. Oh, I thought you
meant they were invited to the floor of the New
York Stock Its next the opening bell. Next week we'll
get that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Six astronauts the city and Bezos rings the bell too.
Do you want the video of them ringing the bell
so we can ring into this segment.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Let's ring in. Let's ring into the set.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
One, two three.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
This is in space. Oh, that's a good one. Take
up space in space. They're floating around yeah, you ever
been to space. I don't know what it's like. Flint,
I got you, I got you, Flynn gotcha. Flint's the
stuffed animal. Its Flint from the Yeah. Is that the
(14:51):
fly the moon?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
You guys?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Have you look at the moon. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Wow, look at the blue line.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Gosh, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Okay, how it's time to.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Go?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know this is an upsetting about it, but really upset.
Well it could be Shepherd. We took the Shepherd path.
This is what Shepherd said, basically, Alan Shepherd. Shepherd said,
my guys, I have to tell you look at the moon.
That is that's quoted. It's like, oh my goddess, look
(15:38):
at the moon. Oh my goddess, look at the look
at the blue line.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Let's ring in. I mean, come on, Kate, can we
do this right? And into the cas talking about it?
And I should note before I have you that each
two names themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They have named themselves, these six taking up space.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
If each one is ringing a bell, and the significance
of that is what are this is one of our traditions.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
All astronauts throughout history and various programs have.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Had their traditions.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Astronauts Okay, so we have the bell ringing, we have
them floating around in space. We haven't heard of Lauren
Sanchez having why that flew to space, having a moment
of clarity in space.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize, because
you just see right here. You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I like, do what she's going after there.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize because
you just see right here. You see, like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us, but
we're not.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, I see, but we're not divine the contiguous US.
You know here they are all the states and things.
You see the states, you see the things, because I
think anybody that's ever been up to space knows. One
of the more remarkable things that you'll see, even though
I have and I've heard this, is that you do
see the outlines of all the states. You see them,
it's just right there in front of you, and the
(17:13):
capital cities, capital states have the stars. Yeah, that's right there,
des Moin.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Have you been in space?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
No, I haven't. Dale see you don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize. Because
you just see right here, You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
But we're not.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Basically, basically it is one land mass that is all connected. Brilliant, Lauren.
But you see the lines, but you do see the
lines from a space Yeah. Well that one person was like,
look at the moon. Lauren was like, look at Utah.
When there's an airport.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Check out that little notch. There's a little picture of
an airplane right over the airport. That's right Denver Airport. There,
it is, there, it is.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Can you imagine somebody from JPL given this description.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
We're so conted, more connected than than you realize because
you just see right here. You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us, but
we're not.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well listen, Tim, I'll say this. None of us have
been to space. We don't know what astronaut lingo is. No,
so it's very possible that she's speaking a language that
we don't. We just don't have we don't recognize the vernacular.
They they speak a different language than us. They've been
to space, we haven't. I got you taking up space
(18:31):
right then?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
My question is have you all been to space?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You haven't, so you don't know about the important work
that they did.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
No, we haven't.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Okay, that's only three minutes of space talk, guys, it's diminishing.
Pretty good, it's diminishing. That was a good Lauren Sanchez clip, though.
See I had that. I had the bells ringing.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
The bells were annoying because I had my eyes on
the video, so I got to see it, and that
was really annoying. I should not before I have you
that each team names themselves. They have named themselves these
six taking up space. Yeah, that's inaccurate. That's an accurate names.
The six of them took up space in a capsule
(19:08):
have been populated with I think if they wanted to
get a particular message across a different group of individuals.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Well, thank you for listening, everybody. I just have one
one more question. What I'm used to seeing space videos
and they're wearing like helmets, right, A lot of the
astronauts that actually go to space helmet helmet. I'm watching
these ladies who are American treasures for doing what they did. Oh,
come on, their hair is all done. The extensions are
in the look. They look beautiful nails in the video.
(19:41):
They have helmets on.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, no, no helmet nessa capsule is no helmet necessary.
Shepherd didn't wear a helmet either, got you. He said,
I'm gonna raw dog this mission.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's what. That's another day from Shepherd.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well he took his clothes off when he got into
the capsule, but he's literally sad, I'm going to raw
dog this mission right now. I think he called JFK
right before. It's I'm a raw dogger right now. Sandwich, salami, sandwich.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's it. That's what he said.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I see jewelry everywhere on these ladies, so it's cool
to wear jewelry in the space.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, you just saw that USC hurdler. He won an
NC double event with like five pounds of jewelry.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Right, you're right, You're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Just watch the right stuff, dude, watch that tonight. Okay,
Ed Harris, I think the club the closest thing. And
I said, you know, Matt, I'm a student of history, sir.
You know, I don't like to think of myself as
you know, a real high brow person. But the truth
is I really know a lot and no, but I
will say this, Gail King is the closest thing we've
(20:41):
had to Chuck Yeger ever, and if you don't believe that,
it's like not believing that Lebron is the best.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You're delusional. Good luck to depressing life. Good luck following that, Matt.
Oh you're gonna try to say something after that? No, No,
you're ruined. Likely kind of you run the impact on
my line. Real depressing. Somebody come up after the Gettysburg
address and say like, hey, okay, well let's do this now.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know I just said something really poignant. You all
been in space. I feel like that's pretty much you know,
you kind of use that for anything.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I'm gonna get a letterman jacket style embroidered with Gail
King and Chuck Yeager holding each other's arms up like champions.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Maybe like the Predator, the commando handshake, Oh Predator handshake.
I'll get it right on three, one, two, three, take
it up space, Andy Staples from on three? What are
you doing? I'm a casting director. You're a casting director.

of toxic cleanup's gonna have to be done here? Andy Well?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I mean, listen, as far as Nico the human being
is concerned, he's to go to UCLA and have a
really good season. That's what has to happen for him.
You know, a lot of this stuff is happening, I
think a little bit outside his control. And he's got
people around him that are kind of making moves and
they're not great moves, Like they demanded more money from Tennessee,
(24:19):
didn't get it, didn't realize that if they waited till April,
the market was going to basically evaporate because schools changed
qbs in December. They don't do it in April. They
don't want to bring in a new starting QB and
haven't learned the whole offense in one hundred days. So
you know, I don't think they realized that the market
for him was not going to be what they expected,
(24:40):
and so now they're scrambling so.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Andy in terms of where UCLA goes from here? Is
this done? Is he going to Ucla? Is that happening now?
Or are we still kind of waiting for him to
continue to play this hand? And it might be Ucla
they're the favorite, Like where does that all stand?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
All in cations are that he's head of the UCLA
It's an awkward situation right now because UCLA spring game
is tomorrow night. They've got to get him. Joey Aguiar
that they brought in from Appalachian State who that was
the plan was, he's going to be the starting quarterback.
You know, they have a new offensive coordinator, Tino Sinceerri,
who was the QB's coach at Indiana last year, and
(25:19):
you know this was the guy he handpicked to bring
in and be the starting quarterback his first season. Remember
this is you know, some series first season as an
offensive coordinator as well. He's been a QB'ST coach, but
he wasn't the play caller at Indiana, So you know
he found the QB liked and that's how he brought in.
Now it's sort of a it's a rapid shift and
(25:39):
nobody knows quite what's going to happen. I'm assuming if
the Nico thing becomes official, we'll probably see Joey agiar
looking elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Interesting stuff from Andy Staples. What about the report that
we heard from some people around the family that it's
not about the money, it was about the offense, and
this Art Briles offense, no quarterback has ever succeeded. That
came out of Joel Klatt, who did say there's other
stuff involved as well, and Colin Cowhard Well, is that
(26:09):
just posturing from the Ea Malaiava family or is it
something truth in it?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
No, there's no truth in it. I mean, yes, it
is true that quarterbacks from this offense from like Bryce
Petty on have not been great in the NFL. Now,
I would argue that if Rgie Three's knee had held up,
you would have seen one, at least one quarterback from
this offense be successful in the NFL. And we'll see, I mean,
we see what happens with Jackson Dark because Lane Kiffin
runs at Ole Miss too. We'll see what happens with
(26:39):
Dylan Gabriel. He played in it at UCF and Oklahoma.
So it's not necessarily prohibitive. But no, you have not
seen a quarterback break through, Like you know, Patrick Mahomes
was the first air Raid quarterback to break through, and
now you've seen others do it. You have not seen
that yet with this offense. So it's a legitimate point.
But that's something they knew when they signed Tennessee. They
(27:01):
knew what offense they ran. They ran when they signed
they knew what offense Tennessee ran. After the first year
when he backed up Joe Milton, they knew what offense
they ran in December after he was the starter for
a season. So while with Kip Roll is the offensive
problem when you knew they were running that offense and
then oh, by the way, you wind up going to
a place where the next play that the play caller
(27:23):
calls will be his first. Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, what about is he that good? Andy? That's kind
of one of the other things that came out of
this is that, you know, was it a good year?
Seems like a lot of the players around them are
valued when it comes draft time, But like, did he
have a good year? Did he have a great year?
Was it a disappointing year?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What would you describe last year? As for him?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
He had a decent year. He wasn't fantastic, but he
also certainly didn't hurt them. You know, Tennessee went to
the playoff. They were ten and two in the regular season.
They had a really good defense. This was the best
defense Tennessee's had in a long time. They had a
very good running ga Dylan Sampson was fantastic at running back,
and this was one of the better offensive lines they
had in a while. Nico was pretty good. Could he
(28:09):
have been better? Yeah? I mean, of course, all the
mad Tennessee fans put together supercuts of him overthrowing receivers,
but there also were very good plays, and I would
argue he got better as the season went on. I
thought it didn't seem like he had a great connection
with his receivers early, and then as the season went
on it seemed to get better. Like I would say
the Vandy game, which is the last regular season game,
(28:30):
probably the most complete game he played. But they were
somewhat limited receiver last year. It wasn't like when they
had Cedric Tillman and Jalen Hyatt. With Hinton Hooker, it
was a little bit different. And you saw it in
the Ohio State game where Nico would drop back and
there was nobody open, And I thought in that game
he actually did a good job gaining yards on the ground,
(28:50):
because I think his ability to run is probably the
more underrated aspect of his game. He's six y six.
He was kind of, you know, really skinny in high school,
but has put on wait and is now a pretty
decently big guy through turning six six two twenty five,
and when he's moving he's tough to deal with. So
I do think there's there's a lot of room for
(29:10):
improvement for him, and that's why I haven't completely given
up on the idea of him being a very good quarterback.
And I think that's that's the thing. If he shines
this season, then he's still a guy that NFL teams
are going to cover it. But it's up to him
to do that. Now, if he has basically the same
season he has he had at Tennessee behind UCLA's offensive line,
I don't know if that's going to go that well.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
You know, it's interesting because I mean, covering college football
as long as you have and the different things we've
seen over the years, I mean, we are no stranger
to bad decisions, especially here in the era of the
transfer portal, and we see coaches make bad decisions and
make moves like this. One of the ones that really
stands out to me happened early in my job in
(29:54):
the media was the Maurice Claret Big Mike Williams thing
where they decided, you know, they were going to challenge
the NFL and try to come out early, and it
hurt both of those guys. There's no doubt about it.
Is this that bad of a decision by Nico or
is it something like you said that he can kind
of pull himself out of.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I don't think so, because it's not going to force
him to sit out. I think those guys having to
miss seasons playing. I think that's what really ultimately hurt
them the most. I think Nico getting to play, he's
going to have a chance to play his way into
whatever he wants to be. As far as an NFL quarterback,
that's going to.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Be up to him.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You know, if he plays well, he has all the
measurables at the NFL teams covet, so all he's got
to do is play well. It's just a matter of
how much of this is him. You know, we're going
to find out as we watched Tennessee and as we
watch presumably UCLA, was Tennessee's offense holding Nico back or
(30:53):
was Nico holding Tennessee's offense back. I mean, that's the question.
We won't know the answer until we see him play.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
It seems like Andy knows you're describing him as a quarterback.
He gets better the measurables, the sort of intrigues surrounding
someone with those measurables that there would be a market
is like you said, is it just bad timing that
it's April? Is Is he going to get just kind
of hosed in that area? People talking about the kind
of pay cut that he's going to be taken for
leaving all that money on the table at Tennessee. Like
(31:20):
what to me, it just seems like a team would
find it, right, Like, we'll find the money because this guy's.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That good, right, And there are some quarterbacks I think
if they hit the portal, you'd see that. It's not
many though, like DJ Lagway that the freshman QB at
Florida's he miss sophomore next year. If he hit the
portal right now, teams would just throw suitcases full of
money on him. But there aren't many guys like that.
And doing it in April really killed the market because
(31:48):
the SEC has a rule that you have to declare
your intention to transfer by February first if you want
to play, if you want to go from one SEC
school to another and play right away. And so that
immediately took the rest of the secae out. And that's
some deep pocketed potential shooters that were out of there
when they decided not to hit the portal in December.
So you got that plus the thing of everybody either
(32:12):
went out and bought a quarterback in December or they
paid their current guy more to stay in December and
started planning around that. And so they built their budgets
around that, and they're not in most of them are
not in a position to add a giant budget line
of marquee quarterback who wants the top of the market deal.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The great Andy Staples, great wide perspective on how messed
up this thing really is and how poorly managed it
seems to be by the e Mariyava family. Now, Andy,
somebody that did get their quarterback back in December is
John Mattee or the engineer going to Oklahoma with our
(32:54):
buckle his offensive coordinator from Wazoo. And yesterday they pulled
Jaden Ought at of Cow the biggest running back on
the transfer portal. I'd imagine is Oklahoma going to be
different next year? Is Venable's going to save his job?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
They better hope. So now, the issue with Oklahoma last
year on top of quarterback play, but again there's a
chicken egg situation here. Their offensive line was not very
good and their best five receivers got hurt and missed
giant stretches of the season. And so that's the thing
is deligning me better because Matier is great. I mean,
(33:32):
Petros you know this. You've seen him play a bunch.
He's one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Supream
Ward went from Washington State to Miami. Cam warden be
the number one pick in the NFL draft, but Tier
maybe just as good as cam Ward, which is crazy
to say. But I'm excited to see him in that offense.
My dogs decided to see him that offense. But we
(33:52):
just don't know how good their line is going to be.
I think that the improvement there is going to be
the big question, because they if they can can get
better on the line of scrimmage, then you're talking about
probably a fairly significant improvement. Because I trust the Brent
Vinables defense. I've yet to decide if I trust Brent
Vinables's ability to hire people to run an offense.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Last thing, Andy just across town from UCLA, where he
spent most of this conversation. You mentioned Dylan Sampson expected
to be a back that's taken, you know, maybe Day
two in the NFL draft. I'm trying to think, correct
me if I'm wrong, but I don't know if USC
is putting anybody in this draft. Woody Marx is a
guy that's kind of being talked about what is going.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
On over there, what he marks would be some value.
I love that dude. He's got I you know, watch
Timpson Mississippi State and actually somebody's gonna pick him up
and be very very happy. But as far as the
USC goes, yeah, it's it's very interesting because they're not
pumping out the NFL talent that they were. It doesn't
feel like people are that excited about what they can
(34:55):
be in the Big Ten this year. And I just,
you know, I was interested to see if they'd be
a shopper in the in the portal for a quarterback
in December and obviously not now. But it feels like
they're gonna roll with Jay in NYAB. But it sounds
like they're pretty excited about Hassan long Street, who is
you know, a local guy in Orange County, guy that
they think could be really good. So I just it's
(35:17):
interesting because I keep waiting for them to recruit their
way out of this, to build a roster that looks
like the rosters that can beat for the Big Ten title,
and I just they haven't been doing that. Now they
hired a new GM from Notre Dame. If you look
at the guys they've got committing to them right now,
they look like the type of people. They're doing better,
(35:38):
but caveat tetros and you know this, this time last
year they were doing this too, and they couldn't hold
onto those guys. So the hope is you keep those guys.
But when I see them flip a dtackle from Oregon,
who's going to modern day like that gives me hope
that they can get out of this. That gives me
hope that they're going to figure out how to get
(35:59):
back to being what us.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
He does.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Well, if Lincoln's willing to develop those guys up front,
you know we'll see the great Andy Staples. There is
no one better what he marks as us. He's best player.
Better make sure he doesn't get the ball that much.
Thank you, Andy, have a great night, and we really
appreciate you joining us and giving us some perspective on this.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yes, looks like Colin was right. Yes, we thought he
was wrong twenty minutes ago, but now we feel like
Colin was right.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I still feel like kind of tried to walk me
into the hurricane of dav Every now and then.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Joining us right now is a man in peril, one
of the great, one of the great talk show hosts
in the history of the world. But sometimes you can't
shut your eyes and burn the past. The past comes
back to haunt you. We all know these things, uh,
in different forms, They've happened over the years. Joining us
right now the prey.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
We're listening to a song.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Wolves and leopards are trying to kill the sheep and
the shepherd that's right, shepherding the listeners on KFI for
so many years, the greatest talk show of all time, JORFI.
Speaker 7 (38:15):
Very sweet dog, everybody, this is almost over. You know,
Steckler and I we used to work for Kayla Sex
and we beat these guys up every day, brothers every day.
Did it to the point where the uh, the attorneys
for the men his brothers would say, you can't get
a fair trial in a city like this because of
Conway and stuff. Gargo on Leslie Abrams look at that.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah, both.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
So how much bad blood still exists here?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Well, all of it.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
I'm not going to say which lawyer was out at
Santa Anita a couple weeks ago. You probably put two
and two taking you out. Well, what did he say?
I said, if these guys get out of jail, what
are they going to do? You know who's going to
hire them? He said, well, I don't know. I mean
you maybe it'll do a podcast or write books. I'm like, okay,
I got a perfect job for him. You know, sant Anita.
When a horse breaks down, they put a tent around
(39:03):
the horse, and then they put a bullet in his head.
And I think the Menendez brothers be perfect for that.
And he said f you and he walked away.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, it's right, not backing down.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
There's still a lot of bad blood here, Conway. But
do we worry about like you worry about your safety?
I mean you are a pretty I mean you're a
very known man. You could be walking in like a
parade like locking Yata or something, well and one of
these Menandez brothers decides to take a box cutter to you,
you know.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean that's right.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
Yeah, That's why I'm i now when I do the
San Juan Capistranta parade, I got a brinkstruck that I
travel at. There you go, just waving out of the
brains truck microphone.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
They could really do a number on you. What is
your it's about an eighth.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
The only reason it's not a tent is because I
think they hate John and Ken Moore, right, Yeah, yeah,
because John and Ken did to fry the Menenda.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I mean the.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Was talk radio a little different back in those days, Tim, Yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
It was these kids should be put to death on TV.
You know that's a real ding dong, by the way,
because you were their competitors. It was you and Steckler
over on ninety seven one johnaken here and they're like,
fry them and en die and what's your comeback To're like, Steckler,
we gotta come up with something, ding Dong. Steckler was
the best, though, the smartest, funniest guy in the world,
and he would go after them nightly, you know, I mean,
and they are murderers. They murdered their parents in cold blood.
(40:28):
They look if dad, you know, sexually sexually abusing you.
I understand, maybe knocking him off, but mom my, mom
do anything? You know, she just sat around eating rice
cream watching movies. Did it bother you that they bought
all that stuff? You know?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
They test lessons and the ports.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
Well you know this this dates back to They used
to live in Calabasas and they had to move because
those two idiots would go around and.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Restall all the jude.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
So they were bad guys to begin with.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Right in high school they were robbing homes in the neighborhood.
And then one went to college, an Ivy League college,
and he decided one day one didn't want roommate. He
just took all of his roommate stuff and threw it
outside the bed. The dress are everything. So these are
really two bad guys and now they're gonna be right.
I hope it is for Yeah, John and Ken did
(41:17):
Eric and Lyle?
Speaker 4 (41:18):
You know?
Speaker 7 (41:19):
But I think that's what they named the two eaglits?
Didn't they name him? This is an odd Maybe I
got two.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Stories mixed up. I think they'll cross crossing the news there. Well,
you can depend on us.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You got to go, but you can depend on us
to throw ourselves in arms.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Dog and feeds the foosh, would.
Speaker 3 (41:41):
You, big dog. I think they're gonna kill him, no doubt.
That's why you moved. A lot of people don't know this,
but in jail Eric became a blow dart expert, working

Yeah, follow the petros in Money Show wherever you get
your podcasts now here's Petros papade Guss and Matt money Smith.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
There they are. Stop the show for Tim Conway Jr.
We're not coming for him yet. Oh he oh delayed.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Conway lives to fight another day. You guys don't know.
But Conway when he used to do talk radio on
another station many years ago, back in the nine ven.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Point one Conway and Steckler when the nineties were really
bubbling under. Oh the station of Stern, Steckler and Conway
in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Come on, Tim Conway jun. You attack the Menendez brothers relentlessly,
some would say unfairly. Look at that hair I wouldn't
say that, but some would say unfairly. And now that
the Menendez would be the Menendez brothers would they would,
And there's some so they're on and their weird cousin.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And I'll tell you this right now. If those Menendez
brothers get out the first there and they're doing it's
probably going to the to.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The or Steeler get their nine to eleven. That and
maybe the orchids of Asia. Oh yeah, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, and then they're gonna come here and kill Tim
Conway June. They're gonna come here and they're dog, that's
not funny. They do it loud, big dog, not cool.
Tons have sent it to him, big dog. That's gonna happen.
But now they they have the only reason I know
for a fact, the only reason the Menendez brothers want
to get out of jail because they're all institutionalized now
(02:06):
they're like uh uh Morgan free like read yeah, they're
asking to go to the bathroom and all that. And
the only reason they want to come out is for
retribution against Tim Conway Junior. They want Tim Conway Junior dead,
and they're going to come here and they're going to
take them out.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But big breaking news, and I can't believe the late
what happened. It just says resentencing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Hearing delayed because I don't want to be here when
the s goes down in Grenada. You know what I'm saying. No,
I don't want to get caught in the crossback. Exactly right,
justic as Conway attacked these crazy brothers back in the
nineties when I was still playing football.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
That's what you tell them, dies, I was playing football.
I want nothing, I know nothing, I got nothing. I
know nothing of your trial. Sure you spend a little
money after your cap the parents. Sure, fine, what what party?
Why wouldn't you drove a Porsche? Not everybody to the house,
danced around their dead lifeless bodies.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Took took some great international trips, bought yourself a really
expensive tennis coach. But I got nothing against you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Guys. Got to work on a game. Don't shoot me.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Let me get out of the way so you could
shoot Conway anyway. That's what we're paying attention to on
the television because the hearing has been delayed. Yes, why
did they delay it?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well, I don't know. I'll just turned it on. Somebody
was watching Creed two. Do you think Conway has turned
that off and put on the KTLA news. Do you
think he's breathing a sire relief or do you feel
like it's like a stay of execution for him. That's
a great question. I think sire relief. I think the
signals dang don they're never getting out dang dog on
political theater.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Well, if Conway's around, we could talk to him, and
then that's scrum. By the way, Oh, this is I
mean that Connie likes scrum. You know who I don't
see in that scrum.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Jim Conway exactly running scared.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right if he shows up to work today, do you
want me to grab him before.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Four o'clock shows up to work. He's probably halfway to
Mazat Lawn right now. Well, for some reason, don't want
to face Eric. Look at those guys. They're pissed off.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I heard he's doing the show from Sarasota. Somebody is.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Well, okay, without further ado, we'll start the show again.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's almost like if you look close stop the show.
I'm sorry, Ronnie. It's almost like, if you look close
enough into the eyes of Eric and Lyle, you can
see a little Tim Conway Junior in a button down
short sleeve like hey, like you can see like they're
gonna they're gonna come for him.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You know, nothing he can do. It's nothing you can do.
He's not built. No, he's not built a defender center.
He is not built to defend himself against the power
of the institutional licenman and his brothers.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now, if you're their health, their already capped their parents
and that was before they were penitentiary swollen. And now
they're going to come in and what they're going to
do to Conway term in half. And you think, if
I'm Tim Conway.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Gets upset about this, by the way, that's not okay.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
If I'm Tim Conway Junior, is the draw, the allure,
the sirens song of the track so powerful that I
still show up there even though I know I'm a
sitting duck for the Menendez brothers at Santa Anita.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
A lot of sight lines at sant Anita. You know,
you could really camp out, You could really camp out
and find yourself wide open space.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Man down and shoots the horses with a pellet gun
to affect the.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Races exactly right, wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
It be ironic, mister ding Dong with Eric and Lyle.
One's ding One's dog just going after.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Him, dog, ding Dong, Who's gonna kill me?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Ding Dong is Eric? No lion pulled out a gun?
Ding Dong. Oh he shot me in the knee, ding Dong.
We're not sticking around to see what happens. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But if it came down to it and I had
to take out one of those Menandez brothers.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
You'd run like Hill.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No man, I'd be running there like Marky Mark he
would have done if he was on one of those
nine to eleven planes.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
If those Menanda's brothers came here and they did whatever
they did to Conway, I'd step up hard man. I'd
be like, you leave Tim Conway alone.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'd choke him out with one of these XLR cables.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Whoop. I'd jump over Sharon Bellio's body because you know
she'd be like leave a balloon, and then I just
attack Lyle.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
What about steffouche st.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Stefush is the one that sold Conway for thirty pieces
of silver. He's outside the station listening to the cock crow.
They gave him five Wiener schnitzeled turkey dogs.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, he's like a dog. You throw the state to
distract the guard dogs.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Some guard dog looking him over there eating that ross steak.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Lil are peeking down the hallway. They see stefoosh and
they just throw a hot dog in tinfoil, A.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Bloody bag of ross state thrown down the hall chases
it panting. Conway sitting down kill zone.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All right, sorry, dog, that's not funny.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
They're right, I'm sorry. It's just they popped up, Matt.
They popped up on the screen. You see him there
on your screen. Those guys aren't getting out ever. I
hope so Ba boo boo. There are years that ask
(07:52):
questions and years that answer.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Cong Petro saying money Empire seventy l A Sports Live
Everywhere on the iHeart Radio to get a full four
hour show today from our Burbank studios. Four hours of
great sports talk on this Crutchy Grooven Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Ow, what's the matter, chast I have got a really
bad tramp.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I've been having really bad tramps all week.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
It's probably menstrul screw.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
You Melon feeling.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
We're gonna talk some college football in the very next
segment with our friend Andy Staples. The Nico MARIAVI mav
I Maria mariaba. Yeah, I am, well you want to
see yeah, my l I Maria. But you can say
it fast and get away with it out of Mayava.
And you're saying it, but people are like, no, you know, Ma,
(08:58):
you're not giving it the extra celebration. Shut up.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Well, I mean you know, you pronounce it that way.
This guy pronounces it that way. That dude over there
has got something else. That's what it is. Well, I
call him Nico, it's Nico Aya mariava.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Well, and then there's uh, well, there's the DJ, and
then there's the people that say DJ. Right, and it's like,
you don't have to worry about that anymore. Oh, but
what I still got it?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
He can still Joe Klatt it through the baseball or
the reverse Clatt? What's the reverse Clat? Try the football
doesn't work, go to the baseball. Clatt was tried the
baseball doesn't work, go to the football, right, wasn't that
didn't Clatt go back to Colorado after the minor league's
(09:48):
flamed out?
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Two nine That's what he hit in the minor league.
Minor leagues are the Padres by the way, Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
God, I wish he was in that franchise. Now they're hot,
so we even baseball. We will get to the bottom
of the Nico Ni yah Madayava sweepstakes. But we were wrong,
Colin cow It's not locked up. Colin Coward was wrong.
Everybody was wrong. Well, Twitter was wrong. Everybody jumped on it, though,
(10:18):
and it was us. The kid did not commute, communicate
an absolute solid commitment to UCLA. Is that correct, Tim?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
ESPN last night was saying, well, sources say UCLA has
offered him an nil deal and a scholarship to UCLA,
but he is not signed with UCLA, And then UCLA
was okay with the fact that he was going to
think of his options and what he wanted to do,
meaning he could be out there using that offer as leverage.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, yeah, Well, he probably was not all that excited
by the incoming he was taking when people suggested that
he was going to be offered considerably less than the
two million in change the Tennessee was going to give him,
and he felt like a fool. I look like a fool.
Can't go to UCLA and take a million bucks when
I left two point whatever on the table.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
But none of the money is official, right. You could
just tell people you don't know what I'm getting. Staples
might know. Forget the fact that I just rolled up
here and at Chrysler LeBaron.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's all. That's all beat up.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
The only things great, The only thing that's happened in
the last twenty four hours since Colin Coward put that
tweet out there is there was a film crew outside
of his house in Knoxville, Nico's house, and they were
a moving van there and there was family members there,
you know, moving the bed forsa.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Was it rock and roll? Moving from Burbank? It might
might be that rock and roll you know, starving diving
student Tim Kate's Phoenix Tater tot move.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
It's a good company, by the way, if you need
somebody to move.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Ucla, though ESPN changed their story to ESPN UCLA is
among the schools interested in Nico.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Well, what the hell is that? And what kind of
headline is that?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Non sources? UCLA was content quote to sit tight, while
Nico considers so were.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We where we we we went.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
We tried to supported our co We tried to support
our colleague, and now we look like idiot's right because
we said Nico Iamalaiaba was going to be a bruin.
We said it was all locked in yesterday. So Colin said,
now we have egg on our.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
F and that was like four hours after he had
clad on and said UCLA doesn't have the money. That
doesn't make any sense. And then like four hours later
I'm here in UCLA's got Nico locked up.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
So who's coming on to sort this out for us?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Tim Andy Staples, formerly a sports Let's Crack into the SEC,
now he actually works for on three dot com, which
is the story all over this whole Nico thing from
the get go. Last week they were the first ones
to report that he was not going to play in
the spring game and had not reported to Knoxville.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Look at that. So our friend Andy Staples Staples on
three one two three.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
An expert in in the diving world, an expert in
key lime pie, an expert on the Florida Keys, and
that Jimmy Buffett Lifestyle will join us in an SEC
man will join us. Maybe we'll play a pirate at
forty for him. In the very next segment, Matt corrections
and retractions. You stepped in it, and.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
What the hell did I do?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
My wife and I do the reverse clat from time
to time when we're feeling a little adventurous, and Matt
is not describing it correctly at all. That's why I
was silent when you were describing the reverse class.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It's the reverse clat as that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Why.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Babe feel a little frisky? Class? I think it is.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's a variation on the Boston ground. You know, man,
it's been four days in a row that we have.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
There is nothing else. There is nothing left. Oh, for real,
not possible. You want to hear him going and ring
him the belt? You know they all got or no,
they all ring in on the bell. You know when
they get on the Blue Origin. Oh, I thought you
meant they were invited to the floor of the New
York Stock Its next the opening bell. Next week we'll
get that.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Six astronauts the city and Bezos rings the bell too.
Do you want the video of them ringing the bell
so we can ring into this segment.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Let's ring in. Let's ring into the set.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
One, two three.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
This is in space. Oh, that's a good one. Take
up space in space. They're floating around yeah, you ever
been to space. I don't know what it's like. Flint,
I got you, I got you, Flynn gotcha. Flint's the
stuffed animal. Its Flint from the Yeah. Is that the
(14:51):
fly the moon?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
You guys?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Have you look at the moon. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Wow, look at the blue line.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Gosh, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Okay, how it's time to.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Go?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know this is an upsetting about it, but really upset.
Well it could be Shepherd. We took the Shepherd path.
This is what Shepherd said, basically, Alan Shepherd. Shepherd said,
my guys, I have to tell you look at the moon.
That is that's quoted. It's like, oh my goddess, look
(15:38):
at the moon. Oh my goddess, look at the look
at the blue line.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Let's ring in. I mean, come on, Kate, can we
do this right? And into the cas talking about it?
And I should note before I have you that each
two names themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They have named themselves, these six taking up space.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
If each one is ringing a bell, and the significance
of that is what are this is one of our traditions.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
All astronauts throughout history and various programs have.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Had their traditions.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Astronauts Okay, so we have the bell ringing, we have
them floating around in space. We haven't heard of Lauren
Sanchez having why that flew to space, having a moment
of clarity in space.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize, because
you just see right here. You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
But I like, do what she's going after there.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize because
you just see right here. You see, like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us, but
we're not.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, I see, but we're not divine the contiguous US.
You know here they are all the states and things.
You see the states, you see the things, because I
think anybody that's ever been up to space knows. One
of the more remarkable things that you'll see, even though
I have and I've heard this, is that you do
see the outlines of all the states. You see them,
it's just right there in front of you, and the
(17:13):
capital cities, capital states have the stars. Yeah, that's right there,
des Moin.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Have you been in space?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
No, I haven't. Dale see you don't know.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
We're so connected, more connected than than you realize. Because
you just see right here, You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
But we're not.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Basically, basically it is one land mass that is all connected. Brilliant, Lauren.
But you see the lines, but you do see the
lines from a space Yeah. Well that one person was like,
look at the moon. Lauren was like, look at Utah.
When there's an airport.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Check out that little notch. There's a little picture of
an airplane right over the airport. That's right Denver Airport. There,
it is, there, it is.
Speaker 5 (17:56):
Can you imagine somebody from JPL given this description.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
We're so conted, more connected than than you realize because
you just see right here. You see like you know,
states and all these things that like divide us, but
we're not.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Well listen, Tim, I'll say this. None of us have
been to space. We don't know what astronaut lingo is. No,
so it's very possible that she's speaking a language that
we don't. We just don't have we don't recognize the vernacular.
They they speak a different language than us. They've been
to space, we haven't. I got you taking up space
(18:31):
right then?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
My question is have you all been to space?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You haven't, so you don't know about the important work
that they did.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
No, we haven't.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Okay, that's only three minutes of space talk, guys, it's diminishing.
Pretty good, it's diminishing. That was a good Lauren Sanchez clip, though.
See I had that. I had the bells ringing.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
The bells were annoying because I had my eyes on
the video, so I got to see it, and that
was really annoying. I should not before I have you
that each team names themselves. They have named themselves these
six taking up space. Yeah, that's inaccurate. That's an accurate names.
The six of them took up space in a capsule
(19:08):
have been populated with I think if they wanted to
get a particular message across a different group of individuals.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Well, thank you for listening, everybody. I just have one
one more question. What I'm used to seeing space videos
and they're wearing like helmets, right, A lot of the
astronauts that actually go to space helmet helmet. I'm watching
these ladies who are American treasures for doing what they did. Oh,
come on, their hair is all done. The extensions are
in the look. They look beautiful nails in the video.
(19:41):
They have helmets on.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
No, no, no helmet nessa capsule is no helmet necessary.
Shepherd didn't wear a helmet either, got you. He said,
I'm gonna raw dog this mission.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's what. That's another day from Shepherd.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well he took his clothes off when he got into
the capsule, but he's literally sad, I'm going to raw
dog this mission right now. I think he called JFK
right before. It's I'm a raw dogger right now. Sandwich, salami, sandwich.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That's it. That's what he said.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I see jewelry everywhere on these ladies, so it's cool
to wear jewelry in the space.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, you just saw that USC hurdler. He won an
NC double event with like five pounds of jewelry.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Right, you're right, You're right, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Just watch the right stuff, dude, watch that tonight. Okay,
Ed Harris, I think the club the closest thing. And
I said, you know, Matt, I'm a student of history, sir.
You know, I don't like to think of myself as
you know, a real high brow person. But the truth
is I really know a lot and no, but I
will say this, Gail King is the closest thing we've
(20:41):
had to Chuck Yeger ever, and if you don't believe that,
it's like not believing that Lebron is the best.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You're delusional. Good luck to depressing life. Good luck following that, Matt.
Oh you're gonna try to say something after that? No, No,
you're ruined. Likely kind of you run the impact on
my line. Real depressing. Somebody come up after the Gettysburg
address and say like, hey, okay, well let's do this now.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
You know I just said something really poignant. You all
been in space. I feel like that's pretty much you know,
you kind of use that for anything.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
I'm gonna get a letterman jacket style embroidered with Gail
King and Chuck Yeager holding each other's arms up like champions.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Maybe like the Predator, the commando handshake, Oh Predator handshake.
I'll get it right on three, one, two, three, take
it up space, Andy Staples from on three? What are
you doing? I'm a casting director. You're a casting director.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
What are you cast im looking for a fat, stinky
chick for this deodorant commercial?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What do you want it? What do you need it?
I need her to be I like her to be
a little bit larger. People just gonna spray that down. Yeah,
I want her to be Asian anything else, you know,
kind of like in her central part there. Want there
to be a little bit of Politesian calves, please. Andy
Staples talking about UCLA and nico Ia Malayava. Four hours today,
(22:18):
going till seven. Kate's gonna have off day, Dodger Talk
seven to eight pm. No play by play tonight, but
tomorrow Dodgers Baseball early five o'clock, first pitch out in Texas.
So we'll go two to four.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Joining us right now, Matt. Always great to catch up
with this man. Andy Staples, longtime college football insider, very
well respected, long time at Sports Illustrated. Now he's in
on three Sports, which has been all over the nico
Ia Malayava story since last week and the drama in Knoxville,
(22:53):
and how it pertains to UCLA and where Colin was
right or where Colin was wrong on your Southern California
Toyota Dealer Celebrity hotline. It is at Andy Underscore Staples
on X. Andy Staples a hero of college football riding Hello, Andy,
how are you welcome?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
What's up? Petros? Yeah? I think on three now known
as the iamli Avo family's least favorite media out.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Why they're mad at you guys. I mean, you guys
didn't do.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
This or our guy, our guy Pete Nakos broke the
story last Thursday and blew up their spot. Yeah, they're
trying to try to be any these negotiations in private,
and all of a sudden they were in public.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, how how the hell's that going to happen?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
If your quarterback doesn't show up to spring ball? I mean,
somebody's gonna start sniffing around, like Pete Nakos, so with
this is where this started to where it is now?
How I mean, we know it's a mess, but how
big of a mess is this? I mean, what kind
of toxic cleanup's gonna have to be done here? Andy Well?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I mean, listen, as far as Nico the human being
is concerned, he's to go to UCLA and have a
really good season. That's what has to happen for him.
You know, a lot of this stuff is happening, I
think a little bit outside his control. And he's got
people around him that are kind of making moves and
they're not great moves, Like they demanded more money from Tennessee,
(24:19):
didn't get it, didn't realize that if they waited till April,
the market was going to basically evaporate because schools changed
qbs in December. They don't do it in April. They
don't want to bring in a new starting QB and
haven't learned the whole offense in one hundred days. So
you know, I don't think they realized that the market
for him was not going to be what they expected,
(24:40):
and so now they're scrambling so.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Andy in terms of where UCLA goes from here? Is
this done? Is he going to Ucla? Is that happening now?
Or are we still kind of waiting for him to
continue to play this hand? And it might be Ucla
they're the favorite, Like where does that all stand?
Speaker 4 (24:59):
All in cations are that he's head of the UCLA
It's an awkward situation right now because UCLA spring game
is tomorrow night. They've got to get him. Joey Aguiar
that they brought in from Appalachian State who that was
the plan was, he's going to be the starting quarterback.
You know, they have a new offensive coordinator, Tino Sinceerri,
who was the QB's coach at Indiana last year, and
(25:19):
you know this was the guy he handpicked to bring
in and be the starting quarterback his first season. Remember
this is you know, some series first season as an
offensive coordinator as well. He's been a QB'ST coach, but
he wasn't the play caller at Indiana, So you know
he found the QB liked and that's how he brought in.
Now it's sort of a it's a rapid shift and
(25:39):
nobody knows quite what's going to happen. I'm assuming if
the Nico thing becomes official, we'll probably see Joey agiar
looking elsewhere.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Interesting stuff from Andy Staples. What about the report that
we heard from some people around the family that it's
not about the money, it was about the offense, and
this Art Briles offense, no quarterback has ever succeeded. That
came out of Joel Klatt, who did say there's other
stuff involved as well, and Colin Cowhard Well, is that
(26:09):
just posturing from the Ea Malaiava family or is it
something truth in it?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
No, there's no truth in it. I mean, yes, it
is true that quarterbacks from this offense from like Bryce
Petty on have not been great in the NFL. Now,
I would argue that if Rgie Three's knee had held up,
you would have seen one, at least one quarterback from
this offense be successful in the NFL. And we'll see, I mean,
we see what happens with Jackson Dark because Lane Kiffin
runs at Ole Miss too. We'll see what happens with
(26:39):
Dylan Gabriel. He played in it at UCF and Oklahoma.
So it's not necessarily prohibitive. But no, you have not
seen a quarterback break through, Like you know, Patrick Mahomes
was the first air Raid quarterback to break through, and
now you've seen others do it. You have not seen
that yet with this offense. So it's a legitimate point.
But that's something they knew when they signed Tennessee. They
(27:01):
knew what offense they ran. They ran when they signed
they knew what offense Tennessee ran. After the first year
when he backed up Joe Milton, they knew what offense
they ran in December after he was the starter for
a season. So while with Kip Roll is the offensive
problem when you knew they were running that offense and
then oh, by the way, you wind up going to
a place where the next play that the play caller
(27:23):
calls will be his first. Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah, what about is he that good? Andy? That's kind
of one of the other things that came out of
this is that, you know, was it a good year?
Seems like a lot of the players around them are
valued when it comes draft time, But like, did he
have a good year? Did he have a great year?
Was it a disappointing year?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
What would you describe last year? As for him?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
He had a decent year. He wasn't fantastic, but he
also certainly didn't hurt them. You know, Tennessee went to
the playoff. They were ten and two in the regular season.
They had a really good defense. This was the best
defense Tennessee's had in a long time. They had a
very good running ga Dylan Sampson was fantastic at running back,
and this was one of the better offensive lines they
had in a while. Nico was pretty good. Could he
(28:09):
have been better? Yeah? I mean, of course, all the
mad Tennessee fans put together supercuts of him overthrowing receivers,
but there also were very good plays, and I would
argue he got better as the season went on. I
thought it didn't seem like he had a great connection
with his receivers early, and then as the season went
on it seemed to get better. Like I would say
the Vandy game, which is the last regular season game,
(28:30):
probably the most complete game he played. But they were
somewhat limited receiver last year. It wasn't like when they
had Cedric Tillman and Jalen Hyatt. With Hinton Hooker, it
was a little bit different. And you saw it in
the Ohio State game where Nico would drop back and
there was nobody open, And I thought in that game
he actually did a good job gaining yards on the ground,
(28:50):
because I think his ability to run is probably the
more underrated aspect of his game. He's six y six.
He was kind of, you know, really skinny in high school,
but has put on wait and is now a pretty
decently big guy through turning six six two twenty five,
and when he's moving he's tough to deal with. So
I do think there's there's a lot of room for
(29:10):
improvement for him, and that's why I haven't completely given
up on the idea of him being a very good quarterback.
And I think that's that's the thing. If he shines
this season, then he's still a guy that NFL teams
are going to cover it. But it's up to him
to do that. Now, if he has basically the same
season he has he had at Tennessee behind UCLA's offensive line,
I don't know if that's going to go that well.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
You know, it's interesting because I mean, covering college football
as long as you have and the different things we've
seen over the years, I mean, we are no stranger
to bad decisions, especially here in the era of the
transfer portal, and we see coaches make bad decisions and
make moves like this. One of the ones that really
stands out to me happened early in my job in
(29:54):
the media was the Maurice Claret Big Mike Williams thing
where they decided, you know, they were going to challenge
the NFL and try to come out early, and it
hurt both of those guys. There's no doubt about it.
Is this that bad of a decision by Nico or
is it something like you said that he can kind
of pull himself out of.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I don't think so, because it's not going to force
him to sit out. I think those guys having to
miss seasons playing. I think that's what really ultimately hurt
them the most. I think Nico getting to play, he's
going to have a chance to play his way into
whatever he wants to be. As far as an NFL quarterback,
that's going to.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Be up to him.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You know, if he plays well, he has all the
measurables at the NFL teams covet, so all he's got
to do is play well. It's just a matter of
how much of this is him. You know, we're going
to find out as we watched Tennessee and as we
watch presumably UCLA, was Tennessee's offense holding Nico back or
(30:53):
was Nico holding Tennessee's offense back. I mean, that's the question.
We won't know the answer until we see him play.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
It seems like Andy knows you're describing him as a quarterback.
He gets better the measurables, the sort of intrigues surrounding
someone with those measurables that there would be a market
is like you said, is it just bad timing that
it's April? Is Is he going to get just kind
of hosed in that area? People talking about the kind
of pay cut that he's going to be taken for
leaving all that money on the table at Tennessee. Like
(31:20):
what to me, it just seems like a team would
find it, right, Like, we'll find the money because this guy's.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
That good, right, And there are some quarterbacks I think
if they hit the portal, you'd see that. It's not
many though, like DJ Lagway that the freshman QB at
Florida's he miss sophomore next year. If he hit the
portal right now, teams would just throw suitcases full of
money on him. But there aren't many guys like that.
And doing it in April really killed the market because
(31:48):
the SEC has a rule that you have to declare
your intention to transfer by February first if you want
to play, if you want to go from one SEC
school to another and play right away. And so that
immediately took the rest of the secae out. And that's
some deep pocketed potential shooters that were out of there
when they decided not to hit the portal in December.
So you got that plus the thing of everybody either
(32:12):
went out and bought a quarterback in December or they
paid their current guy more to stay in December and
started planning around that. And so they built their budgets
around that, and they're not in most of them are
not in a position to add a giant budget line
of marquee quarterback who wants the top of the market deal.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The great Andy Staples, great wide perspective on how messed
up this thing really is and how poorly managed it
seems to be by the e Mariyava family. Now, Andy,
somebody that did get their quarterback back in December is
John Mattee or the engineer going to Oklahoma with our
(32:54):
buckle his offensive coordinator from Wazoo. And yesterday they pulled
Jaden Ought at of Cow the biggest running back on
the transfer portal. I'd imagine is Oklahoma going to be
different next year? Is Venable's going to save his job?
Speaker 4 (33:11):
They better hope. So now, the issue with Oklahoma last
year on top of quarterback play, but again there's a
chicken egg situation here. Their offensive line was not very
good and their best five receivers got hurt and missed
giant stretches of the season. And so that's the thing
is deligning me better because Matier is great. I mean,
(33:32):
Petros you know this. You've seen him play a bunch.
He's one of the best quarterbacks in the country. Supream
Ward went from Washington State to Miami. Cam warden be
the number one pick in the NFL draft, but Tier
maybe just as good as cam Ward, which is crazy
to say. But I'm excited to see him in that offense.
My dogs decided to see him that offense. But we
(33:52):
just don't know how good their line is going to be.
I think that the improvement there is going to be
the big question, because they if they can can get
better on the line of scrimmage, then you're talking about
probably a fairly significant improvement. Because I trust the Brent
Vinables defense. I've yet to decide if I trust Brent
Vinables's ability to hire people to run an offense.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Last thing, Andy just across town from UCLA, where he
spent most of this conversation. You mentioned Dylan Sampson expected
to be a back that's taken, you know, maybe Day
two in the NFL draft. I'm trying to think, correct
me if I'm wrong, but I don't know if USC
is putting anybody in this draft. Woody Marx is a
guy that's kind of being talked about what is going.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
On over there, what he marks would be some value.
I love that dude. He's got I you know, watch
Timpson Mississippi State and actually somebody's gonna pick him up
and be very very happy. But as far as the
USC goes, yeah, it's it's very interesting because they're not
pumping out the NFL talent that they were. It doesn't
feel like people are that excited about what they can
(34:55):
be in the Big Ten this year. And I just,
you know, I was interested to see if they'd be
a shopper in the in the portal for a quarterback
in December and obviously not now. But it feels like
they're gonna roll with Jay in NYAB. But it sounds
like they're pretty excited about Hassan long Street, who is
you know, a local guy in Orange County, guy that
they think could be really good. So I just it's
(35:17):
interesting because I keep waiting for them to recruit their
way out of this, to build a roster that looks
like the rosters that can beat for the Big Ten title,
and I just they haven't been doing that. Now they
hired a new GM from Notre Dame. If you look
at the guys they've got committing to them right now,
they look like the type of people. They're doing better,
(35:38):
but caveat tetros and you know this, this time last
year they were doing this too, and they couldn't hold
onto those guys. So the hope is you keep those guys.
But when I see them flip a dtackle from Oregon,
who's going to modern day like that gives me hope
that they can get out of this. That gives me
hope that they're going to figure out how to get
(35:59):
back to being what us.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
He does.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Well, if Lincoln's willing to develop those guys up front,
you know we'll see the great Andy Staples. There is
no one better what he marks as us. He's best player.
Better make sure he doesn't get the ball that much.
Thank you, Andy, have a great night, and we really
appreciate you joining us and giving us some perspective on this.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yes, looks like Colin was right. Yes, we thought he
was wrong twenty minutes ago, but now we feel like
Colin was right.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I still feel like kind of tried to walk me
into the hurricane of dav Every now and then.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's good to support our colleagues on the station. Hey,

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Joining us right now is a man in peril, one
of the great, one of the great talk show hosts
in the history of the world. But sometimes you can't
shut your eyes and burn the past. The past comes
back to haunt you. We all know these things, uh,
in different forms, They've happened over the years. Joining us
right now the prey.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
We're listening to a song.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Wolves and leopards are trying to kill the sheep and
the shepherd that's right, shepherding the listeners on KFI for
so many years, the greatest talk show of all time, JORFI.
Speaker 7 (38:15):
Very sweet dog, everybody, this is almost over. You know,
Steckler and I we used to work for Kayla Sex
and we beat these guys up every day, brothers every day.
Did it to the point where the uh, the attorneys
for the men his brothers would say, you can't get
a fair trial in a city like this because of
Conway and stuff. Gargo on Leslie Abrams look at that.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah, both.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
So how much bad blood still exists here?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Well, all of it.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
I'm not going to say which lawyer was out at
Santa Anita a couple weeks ago. You probably put two
and two taking you out. Well, what did he say?
I said, if these guys get out of jail, what
are they going to do? You know who's going to
hire them? He said, well, I don't know. I mean
you maybe it'll do a podcast or write books. I'm like, okay,
I got a perfect job for him. You know, sant Anita.
When a horse breaks down, they put a tent around
(39:03):
the horse, and then they put a bullet in his head.
And I think the Menendez brothers be perfect for that.
And he said f you and he walked away.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yeah, it's right, not backing down.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
There's still a lot of bad blood here, Conway. But
do we worry about like you worry about your safety?
I mean you are a pretty I mean you're a
very known man. You could be walking in like a
parade like locking Yata or something, well and one of
these Menandez brothers decides to take a box cutter to you,
you know.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean that's right.
Speaker 7 (39:32):
Yeah, That's why I'm i now when I do the
San Juan Capistranta parade, I got a brinkstruck that I
travel at. There you go, just waving out of the
brains truck microphone.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
They could really do a number on you. What is
your it's about an eighth.
Speaker 7 (39:49):
The only reason it's not a tent is because I
think they hate John and Ken Moore, right, Yeah, yeah,
because John and Ken did to fry the Menenda.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
I mean the.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Was talk radio a little different back in those days, Tim, Yeah,
it was.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
It was these kids should be put to death on TV.
You know that's a real ding dong, by the way,
because you were their competitors. It was you and Steckler
over on ninety seven one johnaken here and they're like,
fry them and en die and what's your comeback To're like, Steckler,
we gotta come up with something, ding Dong. Steckler was
the best, though, the smartest, funniest guy in the world,
and he would go after them nightly, you know, I mean,
and they are murderers. They murdered their parents in cold blood.
(40:28):
They look if dad, you know, sexually sexually abusing you.
I understand, maybe knocking him off, but mom my, mom
do anything? You know, she just sat around eating rice
cream watching movies. Did it bother you that they bought
all that stuff? You know?
Speaker 3 (40:43):
They test lessons and the ports.
Speaker 7 (40:45):
Well you know this this dates back to They used
to live in Calabasas and they had to move because
those two idiots would go around and.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
Restall all the jude.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
So they were bad guys to begin with.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
Right in high school they were robbing homes in the neighborhood.
And then one went to college, an Ivy League college,
and he decided one day one didn't want roommate. He
just took all of his roommate stuff and threw it
outside the bed. The dress are everything. So these are
really two bad guys and now they're gonna be right.
I hope it is for Yeah, John and Ken did
(41:17):
Eric and Lyle?
Speaker 4 (41:18):
You know?
Speaker 7 (41:19):
But I think that's what they named the two eaglits?
Didn't they name him? This is an odd Maybe I
got two.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
Stories mixed up. I think they'll cross crossing the news there. Well,
you can depend on us.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
You got to go, but you can depend on us
to throw ourselves in arms.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Dog and feeds the foosh, would.
