Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for our weekday conversation with college football analyst
Petros Papa Nakas.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Not that I'm a smart guy, I'm stupid.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorneys forty.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
If you're hurting.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
An accident, called Sweet James right away at eight hundred,
five hundred and fifty two hundred. Sweet James will be
sweet to you, but tough on insurance companies that will
bully you.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I don't know Bush.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Now with Petros Peers, Dave Softy Muller.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Alrighty, boys and girls, here we going. I'm busy, busy
Friday night right here on ninety three to three KJURFM,
A chance to welcome in let's face it, one of
our broadcast heroes, an absolute legend in sunny southern California,
one half of the fabled Petros and Money Show, Greek
American of the Year, Father of the Month, Husband of
(00:54):
the Day, and my friend Petros Papadacus. Courtesy Oh James Justice.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Sweet James can come through for you if you've ever
been in a car accident or a motorcycle accident, if
you've been bitten by a dog.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
He knows how to hold.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
That insurance company accountable. Give him a call to get
your medical care taking care of your life back together
and your car fixed eight hundred and nine million, eight
hundred nine million, or sweet James.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Oh Man, there's a lot going on back here in Seattle.
You kind of feel bad for the dogs, dude. Friday Night,
Demon Williams puts on a show against Rutgers and nobody
sees it because the EM's had a fifteen inning Alds
clinching game against the Tigers.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Well, I mean it's exciting, right, I mean it's got
to be really exciting out there for you guys. I
mean I see people crying in the stands. I see
people crying on their couch. They see a lot of tears. Yeah,
and then the stupid Maclamore song and the big dumper
and all that. It's very The trident, which looks kind
(02:00):
of dangerous, reminds me of Arizona's turnover cactus.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, that they put the ball on.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I've always thought they should dip the turn that the
Helmo said, turnover trident. They should dip the trident in
like uh pro paane and light the end of it
on fire.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I thought you were gonna say batter and make it
like a corn doll.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That works too, man.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
No, I mean that's it's great, it's exciting. I am
concerned about you and your health, Like I didn't think
you were going to make it through the year Washington
played for the title, right with Kaylin de Boor. I mean,
it's just negative or positive like that one year that
you guys lost every game with Ty Willingham and I
called like six of them, Oh, negative or positive. I
(02:47):
don't like if it's too much. I worry about you, you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Yeah, the extreme, you know, I need you know, I
need Washington and like the Alamo Bowl for you to
be normal, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
What I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
And I'm really with the Mariners that's even rarer than
anything you can think of with the University of Washington
because they've never played in the World Series at all. Right,
So I am I have concerns about your health and
your well being and your ability to handle this maturely
(03:20):
like an adult.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And I wish you luck. I wish you luck.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
On the other hand, you know, here in the Dodgers,
it's just like they just expect to win every night. Right,
the starter goes the whole game and all this stuff
that doesn't usually happen. And all four of their pitchers
are awesome. These four guys that they brought into paid
a lot of money to to pitch in the postseason
are all up and running. So we might end up
being adversaries. Not that I care as much as you do,
(03:47):
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, well what is that?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Let me just ask you right now, what is the
passion like of the Dodger fan base right now?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Well, it's always you know, I mean, we're so close
to it because where the Dodgers stay, So we're at
the games and we're around the players, and then we're
around people that are around the players a lot more,
and so you get a real vibe for what's going
on with the team. And then you know, we have
all this extra programming when the Dodgers are doing well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
So what happens with that is, you know, they take
calls like I don't take any calls on the radio ever,
almost never. And uh so they do take calls though,
because that's what this time of year is about. And
the calls are like a bummer. People are like, you know,
I threw an LA hat in the in the coffin
with my dad died or you know, I threw uh,
(04:42):
you know, my Clayton Kershaw's first game was the was
the last time I was with my little brother.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And it's like, okay, one eight hundred and.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's a lot of them can't handle it.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Man, Well it's not that I can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well you I'm not saying going annoys me, but it's like,
you know, where do you go from there?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Have you ever had an emotional moment, whether your father
or your brother.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Life is an emotional moment.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I can barely function, but emotions bothered me a great
deal because I feel them very intensely. That being said,
it's what you asked me what the tone was, and
maybe I'm too close to it because I'm on the station.
That's what I qualified this with, yes, And then I
had to say, it's a lot of calls about death
and people like, you know, my grandfather loves the Dodgers.
(05:32):
He's dead, you know, Vince Gully's dead. Everybody's dead, well
not everybody, I mean, Yo Yoshi Yamamoto is very much alive.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, hey, well, how do you think it's going to
be up here?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
If these guys, there's gonna be a lot of that.
So like blubbering, and you hear it from me. My
dad died three years ago. You realize that since my
dad has.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Passed a lot, let's take a call on it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Here we go, Seattle, you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Well, since my father has passed away, the Mariners have
ended their playoff streak, the Huskies have played for the
National Championship, and now the Mariners are on the doorstep
of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Since my father passed away.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
He's an angel on your shoulder.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Give us a call, hey by to hear about your
sad void in life and how it's being filled. That's
right by this sports team that is charging you money.
It's a complete and total transactional.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes, the Dodgers and the Mariners are like just a
big giant make a wish foundation for baseball fans everywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
As long as you pay for deliverer of dreams.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, hey, dude, how about all the firings in college football?
First of all, James Franklin out your guy, Jonathan Smith out,
Trent Bray at Oregon State out Wisconsin fans want Luke
Fickles head on a stick in Madison for what's going
on out there. Uh, Desjean Foster has already fired at UCLA.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This is crazy, man.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yeah, I'm sad about Jonathan Smith. I had high hopes
for my Michigan State spartans. I'm sad about Trent Bray too.
Why because I've always I liked his dad. I did
his games when he was a backer. I respected him
as a player and as a coordinator and had a
good time with him at an Oregon State recruiting event
(07:27):
that I was paid to be at that. They never
actually paid me for any other questions.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
They never paid you for that talk you gave.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Do Not only did they not pay me, but they
didn't they didn't reimburse me for the.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Flight and the hotel.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, no, Well you want me to put a
note into Scott Barnes the age, I would love that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I would more than have.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Me a couple thousand dollars from like three years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well, because I remember you, and.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I remember asking Jonathan Smith about it and he just shrugged.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'm sorry, man, like that department, I guess I find
out for you.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, it was. Well, you know, it's a day before
he's got to coach again.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Was was Scott Barnes the ad there when you did
the talk I thing.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So, yeah, Scotty Barnes.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yeah, well he was with us for a while. He was, Yeah,
for a long time. He played for the Toronto Raptors.
I think he still does.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Not different, that's different.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh, I think he was here with Todd Turner. God,
I have to go back and remember about the Yeah,
he used to have a big old staff. But yeah,
I'll get another that's not that's wrong, that's not right.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, well what about I mean those guys getting fired?
What about my two thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's like, what was.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
These guys got paid to go away? They paid me
to show up and never even pay.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, what's the movie where the guy says I want
my two dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is that Once Bitten? What the hell was that movie?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I don't know. That's just you have the stupidest movie, right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, I don't, man, you know what. That's not fair.
How come you can reference movies and I can't.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Because I'm a man of culture, okay and polish?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh god, well I will. I'll get a note down there.
That's not right. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I am actually genuinely concerned about the future of Oregon
State football big time.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, hashtag me too.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I I don't know, you know, I'm a beaven heart.
I go back with Evanson Bernard and uh Enoki brector Field,
Steven Jackson, ta Vita Mawalla, Ken Simon too. I love uh,
I love Oregon State, and I hope they figure it out.
But yeah, the coach is getting fired. I think a
(09:30):
lot a big part of it. Well, first of all,
I mean, look what happened at uc LA. It's almost
like the two coordinators and the head coach were a
ballast holding down a hot air balloe and you know,
you cut it and all of a sudden they just
take off and oh, sorry, my phone.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's right. I hate everybody. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's a way to turn that off.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
By the way, Yeah, okay, all right, you know it's
been a I just got off the phone with Nevada.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, okay, sorry, stop calling me. Just turn off the rigger.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Dude, I am hitting the thing on my watch.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well that's what you get for wearing a watch like
a douche.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It's not the watch, it's the computer that I'm sitting behind.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
A watch are you wearing an Apple Watch.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Don't you wear an Apple watch?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It doesn't work out my heart well, it happens softy
that because I have crippling anxiety and my heart rate,
you know, just sitting somewhere could be like one twenty
because my mind is like a runaway elephant, and I'm
very unhappy I have to check my heart rate through
(10:37):
an effing watch.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
You need to call the Dodger post game show and
get a little therapy. Who does the Dodger Post game Show?
By the way, who's the host.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Of Kates and Davidvesse?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Here you go, you can call them and ghellttle therapy.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yeah, well they're very both, very close friends of mine.
I think I have to wait on line.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You just talked about all the SOB story is man,
why not take stories from people that asked.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Me why I wear an Apple Watch? You called me
a douche.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I did call you a douche.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I still have I hope you sit on that try it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Of all the people that would wear an Apple.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Watch, you'd be the last guy that I would assume
you would be alone wearing an Apple Watch. Hey, who's
gonna hire James Franklin? Who should who should roll the
dice and hire James Franklin. I think he's a pretty
good coach, don't you.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Uh yeah, I, uh yeah. I haven't had the best
interactions with him really.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Well. One time I was with to Marco Murray.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yes, and I was training to Marco Murray.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well you know what to.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Call t okay, gotcha?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I'm sorry, Well, we weren't doing jump squats a freaking idiot,
God are you stupid?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Stupid idiot?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
No, stumming it in. So hang on a second, I
gotta find it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I got to bring that up, all right, I'll sit here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The greatest bits in the history.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Of radio, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Uh you know who that is, by the way, Dick
Dick Dick Baird Baird. Yeah, I didn't want to say
Dick Fane.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
This kid doesn't look Jewish, that's right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Well we all know that. So I was training to
Marco Murray. We were doing an Illinois Nebraska game. No no, Illinois,
Illinois Penn State. And he shook James Franklin's hand and
like then they got in like this weird like handshake
wrestling thing like and it wasn't like for fun.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It was like they were.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like like a thumb war Yeah, but like but like
you know, kind of like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers
in Predator.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
But no, but not like in a jovial way.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
And that was shocking, Like I was like, WHOA, what
a tough guy there.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That's weird.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, but you know, I mean it's hard to say
that he hasn't had success.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
You look at what he's how much he's won.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I don't think Oklahoma was ever going to.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Fire Bob Stoops for not winning the big game, right,
But now it's kind of like you get a you
get a leg up in the coaching search and somebody
if somebody steps up and pays the buyout. I guess
the rumor in this case was that it was Adidas.
I mean, Lincoln Riley would have been fired if somebody
(13:26):
would have paid the buyout. It's just so huge, and
that it's a terrible albatross around us he's neck, even
though they're improved this year. I mean, if somebody will
pay the buyout when you get into a free fall,
then and he must have pissed somebody off, right, yeah,
Like yeah, like I I.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
A donor, A big donor.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, in a gingerly way. I rep maybe Adidas Uh
in a gingerly way. I reference that in the UH
on the Morning Show today with LeVar Arrington, who's mister
Penn State and he very much likes James Franklin. And
you know, the star player types usually have a different
view of everybody. I know that's your experience too, then,
(14:06):
you know, I mean Matt Lioner will defend Clay Helton,
Lincoln Riley, you know, Steve Sarkisian Lane Kiff, and anybody
who came through USC and aft it up over the
years because you get treated well by whoever the administration is.
And I would assume it's that way with LeVar. I'm
not close enough to know what happened behind the scenes
(14:26):
with Franklin, but it seemed like once he faltered, they
were pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Eager to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So, but I don't know who's going to hire him,
And I'm sad about Jonathan, but somebody will hire him.
Maybe he'll go back to Corvallis.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I'm kidding, honestly, do you think that's even remotely possible?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I think it ended in an acrimonious way.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
So, which is too bad considering his ties to that
university very terrible, and you.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Know, maybe I don't know what's going to happen with him,
But all these guys get paid so much to go away,
and then they take a concer jobs so they can
still get paid because consulting is not like being on
somebody's staff. So they go hide at their friends program
for a year while they sit on fifty million dollars
or something, and then they get a job in about
(15:15):
a year or two, or they do the media and
then they get a job in about a year or two,
like Dan Mullen who's doing well at UNLV. So I
don't feel bad as bad for these guys. It's truly
the assistants and the families. That's the crappy part.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, well, you know, I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Much you look.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Kurt Signetti's getting everybody fired. You turn I mean he
turned around Indiana football. I mean, who would ever think that.
But they could go to Eugene and win Indiana. I mean,
it's even more impressive than what Gary Barnett did at Northwestern.
And people remember that, we'll remember that forever. But what's
happening at Indiana is even weirder, and people are going
(15:52):
to look at these coaches and say, well, why aren't
you like Kurt Signetti, you know, why can't we win
right away? Why can't you turn it around right away?
Here's the portal, here's the money, right, go get them.
And I think that's why you're seeing such early firing.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, honestly, I think what Jed's doing up here man
has been pretty impressive. They're five and one with the
one loss to Ohio State. They probably should be ranked.
They'll be ranked if they beat the Wolverines of the
Big House on Saturday. And I don't know how much
of the USC Michigan game you saw, but man, the
Trojans do They had to walk on running back just
run all over that Michigan defense.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
This kind of feels like if the Huskies are ever
going to get a win in that stadium for the
first time in a get jillion years, it feels like Saturday.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, the young quarterback could be reeling, right, I mean
he was underwhelming.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Underwood was underwhelming, yes, And.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
I thought Michigan's edges would cause more trouble for USC
like they have for some other teams, but that didn't happen.
So you got to give USC credit. It's always a
big deal to beat Michigan. And you know, I think
also an element in that is that we're also learning
and you guys know this at Washington.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'm sure I made the point on the show.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Coming all the way across the country and playing in
some big ass stadium is hard for the East Coast
guys too. You know, walking down the tunnel in the
coliseum is not like taking the field in Stanford.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Let's let's be honest about it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So I think there's an element of that there, and
I think there will be an element of that in
the UH in the situation for Washington going the opposite direction,
but because that is a crazy place to play, although
it is Rolls bull esque as far as noise and
all that goes, but I think they're teetering. If USC
(17:34):
just ran the ball all over you, you're in trouble.
And if you couldn't really generate a lot of offense
against the USC defense that got embarrassed against Illinois on
the road, UH, that's I mean, you should be able
to move the ball. I expect it to be a
good game. Washington's got a great running back, quarterback that
can run. It knows when to use his athleticism, it seems,
(17:56):
and when to throw the ball and play within the offense.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Things are good, all right, you gotta go good stuff.
Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
By the way, I am here because I have two games.
Uh so they've you know, I get a lot of
weeks off this year. But I also which I don't like,
but then they'll hit me with like two games in
a week, like three weeks in a row. And this
is one of those weeks. I have two games and
they're both gonna be done from here, it's and they're
(18:26):
one of them is really good. The other one I
like just as much. But UNLV at Boise, which is
the Mountain West game of the year, yep. And then
New Mexico hosting Nevada, who's really struggling. But I very
much liked that coach who I believe was at Washington,
Jeff Choate.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yes, he was coach Peterson's defensive line coach.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
He's the one that turned Will Disney from a defensive
lineman to a tight end and he made the NFL
because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
By the way, you know what, hit hit choke with that,
and you'll sound like you know what the hell you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Hit choke with it. I'm gonna hit you with it
on the FS one Saturday night. Bitch, you better give
me credit, all right. Yeah, Petrus, you're the man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We love you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
It sounded like a frat boy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Enjoy the weekend. Yeah, okay, we'll talk in a week.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
How about that?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Well, I mean it's exciting, right, I mean it's got
to be really exciting out there for you guys. I
mean I see people crying in the stands. I see
people crying on their couch. They see a lot of tears. Yeah,
and then the stupid Maclamore song and the big dumper
and all that. It's very The trident, which looks kind
(02:00):
of dangerous, reminds me of Arizona's turnover cactus.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yes, that they put the ball on.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I've always thought they should dip the turn that the
Helmo said, turnover trident. They should dip the trident in
like uh pro paane and light the end of it
on fire.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I thought you were gonna say batter and make it
like a corn doll.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That works too, man.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
No, I mean that's it's great, it's exciting. I am
concerned about you and your health, Like I didn't think
you were going to make it through the year Washington
played for the title, right with Kaylin de Boor. I mean,
it's just negative or positive like that one year that
you guys lost every game with Ty Willingham and I
called like six of them, Oh, negative or positive. I
(02:47):
don't like if it's too much. I worry about you, you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Yeah, the extreme, you know, I need you know, I
need Washington and like the Alamo Bowl for you to
be normal, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
What I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
And I'm really with the Mariners that's even rarer than
anything you can think of with the University of Washington
because they've never played in the World Series at all. Right,
So I am I have concerns about your health and
your well being and your ability to handle this maturely
(03:20):
like an adult.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And I wish you luck. I wish you luck.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
On the other hand, you know, here in the Dodgers,
it's just like they just expect to win every night. Right,
the starter goes the whole game and all this stuff
that doesn't usually happen. And all four of their pitchers
are awesome. These four guys that they brought into paid
a lot of money to to pitch in the postseason
are all up and running. So we might end up
being adversaries. Not that I care as much as you do,
(03:47):
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, well what is that?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Let me just ask you right now, what is the
passion like of the Dodger fan base right now?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Well, it's always you know, I mean, we're so close
to it because where the Dodgers stay, So we're at
the games and we're around the players, and then we're
around people that are around the players a lot more,
and so you get a real vibe for what's going
on with the team. And then you know, we have
all this extra programming when the Dodgers are doing well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
So what happens with that is, you know, they take
calls like I don't take any calls on the radio ever,
almost never. And uh so they do take calls though,
because that's what this time of year is about. And
the calls are like a bummer. People are like, you know,
I threw an LA hat in the in the coffin
with my dad died or you know, I threw uh,
(04:42):
you know, my Clayton Kershaw's first game was the was
the last time I was with my little brother.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
And it's like, okay, one eight hundred and.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
It's a lot of them can't handle it.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Man, Well it's not that I can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well you I'm not saying going annoys me, but it's like,
you know, where do you go from there?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Have you ever had an emotional moment, whether your father
or your brother.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Life is an emotional moment.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
I can barely function, but emotions bothered me a great
deal because I feel them very intensely. That being said,
it's what you asked me what the tone was, and
maybe I'm too close to it because I'm on the station.
That's what I qualified this with, yes, And then I
had to say, it's a lot of calls about death
and people like, you know, my grandfather loves the Dodgers.
(05:32):
He's dead, you know, Vince Gully's dead. Everybody's dead, well
not everybody, I mean, Yo Yoshi Yamamoto is very much alive.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Last night.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, hey, well, how do you think it's going to
be up here?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
If these guys, there's gonna be a lot of that.
So like blubbering, and you hear it from me. My
dad died three years ago. You realize that since my
dad has.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Passed a lot, let's take a call on it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Here we go, Seattle, you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Well, since my father has passed away, the Mariners have
ended their playoff streak, the Huskies have played for the
National Championship, and now the Mariners are on the doorstep
of the World Series.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Since my father passed away.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
He's an angel on your shoulder.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Give us a call, hey by to hear about your
sad void in life and how it's being filled. That's
right by this sports team that is charging you money.
It's a complete and total transactional.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes, the Dodgers and the Mariners are like just a
big giant make a wish foundation for baseball fans everywhere.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
As long as you pay for deliverer of dreams.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, hey, dude, how about all the firings in college football?
First of all, James Franklin out your guy, Jonathan Smith out,
Trent Bray at Oregon State out Wisconsin fans want Luke
Fickles head on a stick in Madison for what's going
on out there. Uh, Desjean Foster has already fired at UCLA.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This is crazy, man.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yeah, I'm sad about Jonathan Smith. I had high hopes
for my Michigan State spartans. I'm sad about Trent Bray too.
Why because I've always I liked his dad. I did
his games when he was a backer. I respected him
as a player and as a coordinator and had a
good time with him at an Oregon State recruiting event
(07:27):
that I was paid to be at that. They never
actually paid me for any other questions.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
They never paid you for that talk you gave.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Do Not only did they not pay me, but they
didn't they didn't reimburse me for the.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Flight and the hotel.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, no, Well you want me to put a
note into Scott Barnes the age, I would love that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I would more than have.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Me a couple thousand dollars from like three years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Well, because I remember you, and.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I remember asking Jonathan Smith about it and he just shrugged.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I'm sorry, man, like that department, I guess I find
out for you.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, it was. Well, you know, it's a day before
he's got to coach again.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Was was Scott Barnes the ad there when you did
the talk I thing.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So, yeah, Scotty Barnes.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yeah, well he was with us for a while. He was, Yeah,
for a long time. He played for the Toronto Raptors.
I think he still does.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Not different, that's different.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Oh, I think he was here with Todd Turner. God,
I have to go back and remember about the Yeah,
he used to have a big old staff. But yeah,
I'll get another that's not that's wrong, that's not right.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, well what about I mean those guys getting fired?
What about my two thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It's like, what was.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
These guys got paid to go away? They paid me
to show up and never even pay.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, what's the movie where the guy says I want
my two dollars?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is that Once Bitten? What the hell was that movie?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I don't know. That's just you have the stupidest movie, right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, I don't, man, you know what. That's not fair.
How come you can reference movies and I can't.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Because I'm a man of culture, okay and polish?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh god, well I will. I'll get a note down there.
That's not right. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I am actually genuinely concerned about the future of Oregon
State football big time.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, hashtag me too.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I I don't know, you know, I'm a beaven heart.
I go back with Evanson Bernard and uh Enoki brector Field,
Steven Jackson, ta Vita Mawalla, Ken Simon too. I love uh,
I love Oregon State, and I hope they figure it out.
But yeah, the coach is getting fired. I think a
(09:30):
lot a big part of it. Well, first of all,
I mean, look what happened at uc LA. It's almost
like the two coordinators and the head coach were a
ballast holding down a hot air balloe and you know,
you cut it and all of a sudden they just
take off and oh, sorry, my phone.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's right. I hate everybody. I know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's a way to turn that off.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
By the way, Yeah, okay, all right, you know it's
been a I just got off the phone with Nevada.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, okay, sorry, stop calling me. Just turn off the rigger.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Dude, I am hitting the thing on my watch.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Well that's what you get for wearing a watch like
a douche.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
It's not the watch, it's the computer that I'm sitting behind.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
A watch are you wearing an Apple Watch.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Don't you wear an Apple watch?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It doesn't work out my heart well, it happens softy
that because I have crippling anxiety and my heart rate,
you know, just sitting somewhere could be like one twenty
because my mind is like a runaway elephant, and I'm
very unhappy I have to check my heart rate through
(10:37):
an effing watch.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
You need to call the Dodger post game show and
get a little therapy. Who does the Dodger Post game Show?
By the way, who's the host.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Of Kates and Davidvesse?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Here you go, you can call them and ghellttle therapy.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yeah, well they're very both, very close friends of mine.
I think I have to wait on line.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
You just talked about all the SOB story is man,
why not take stories from people that asked.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Me why I wear an Apple Watch? You called me
a douche.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I did call you a douche.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I still have I hope you sit on that try it.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Of all the people that would wear an Apple.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Watch, you'd be the last guy that I would assume
you would be alone wearing an Apple Watch. Hey, who's
gonna hire James Franklin? Who should who should roll the
dice and hire James Franklin. I think he's a pretty
good coach, don't you.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Uh yeah, I, uh yeah. I haven't had the best
interactions with him really.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Well. One time I was with to Marco Murray.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yes, and I was training to Marco Murray.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well you know what to.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Call t okay, gotcha?
Speaker 5 (11:43):
I'm sorry, Well, we weren't doing jump squats a freaking idiot,
God are you stupid?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Stupid idiot?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
No, stumming it in. So hang on a second, I
gotta find it.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I got to bring that up, all right, I'll sit here.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The greatest bits in the history.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Of radio, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
Uh you know who that is, by the way, Dick
Dick Dick Baird Baird. Yeah, I didn't want to say
Dick Fane.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
This kid doesn't look Jewish, that's right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Well we all know that. So I was training to
Marco Murray. We were doing an Illinois Nebraska game. No no, Illinois,
Illinois Penn State. And he shook James Franklin's hand and
like then they got in like this weird like handshake
wrestling thing like and it wasn't like for fun.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
It was like they were.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like like a thumb war Yeah, but like but like
you know, kind of like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers
in Predator.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
But no, but not like in a jovial way.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
And that was shocking, Like I was like, WHOA, what
a tough guy there.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
That's weird.
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Yeah, but you know, I mean it's hard to say
that he hasn't had success.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
You look at what he's how much he's won.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I don't think Oklahoma was ever going to.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Fire Bob Stoops for not winning the big game, right,
But now it's kind of like you get a you
get a leg up in the coaching search and somebody
if somebody steps up and pays the buyout. I guess
the rumor in this case was that it was Adidas.
I mean, Lincoln Riley would have been fired if somebody
(13:26):
would have paid the buyout. It's just so huge, and
that it's a terrible albatross around us he's neck, even
though they're improved this year. I mean, if somebody will
pay the buyout when you get into a free fall,
then and he must have pissed somebody off, right, yeah,
Like yeah, like I I.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
A donor, A big donor.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, in a gingerly way. I rep maybe Adidas Uh
in a gingerly way. I reference that in the UH
on the Morning Show today with LeVar Arrington, who's mister
Penn State and he very much likes James Franklin. And
you know, the star player types usually have a different
view of everybody. I know that's your experience too, then,
(14:06):
you know, I mean Matt Lioner will defend Clay Helton,
Lincoln Riley, you know, Steve Sarkisian Lane Kiff, and anybody
who came through USC and aft it up over the
years because you get treated well by whoever the administration is.
And I would assume it's that way with LeVar. I'm
not close enough to know what happened behind the scenes
(14:26):
with Franklin, but it seemed like once he faltered, they
were pretty.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Eager to get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So, but I don't know who's going to hire him,
And I'm sad about Jonathan, but somebody will hire him.
Maybe he'll go back to Corvallis.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I'm kidding, honestly, do you think that's even remotely possible?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I think it ended in an acrimonious way.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
So, which is too bad considering his ties to that
university very terrible, and you.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Know, maybe I don't know what's going to happen with him,
But all these guys get paid so much to go away,
and then they take a concer jobs so they can
still get paid because consulting is not like being on
somebody's staff. So they go hide at their friends program
for a year while they sit on fifty million dollars
or something, and then they get a job in about
(15:15):
a year or two, or they do the media and
then they get a job in about a year or two,
like Dan Mullen who's doing well at UNLV. So I
don't feel bad as bad for these guys. It's truly
the assistants and the families. That's the crappy part.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, well, you know, I don't know how.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Much you look.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Kurt Signetti's getting everybody fired. You turn I mean he
turned around Indiana football. I mean, who would ever think that.
But they could go to Eugene and win Indiana. I mean,
it's even more impressive than what Gary Barnett did at Northwestern.
And people remember that, we'll remember that forever. But what's
happening at Indiana is even weirder, and people are going
(15:52):
to look at these coaches and say, well, why aren't
you like Kurt Signetti, you know, why can't we win
right away? Why can't you turn it around right away?
Here's the portal, here's the money, right, go get them.
And I think that's why you're seeing such early firing.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well, honestly, I think what Jed's doing up here man
has been pretty impressive. They're five and one with the
one loss to Ohio State. They probably should be ranked.
They'll be ranked if they beat the Wolverines of the
Big House on Saturday. And I don't know how much
of the USC Michigan game you saw, but man, the
Trojans do They had to walk on running back just
run all over that Michigan defense.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
This kind of feels like if the Huskies are ever
going to get a win in that stadium for the
first time in a get jillion years, it feels like Saturday.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Yeah, the young quarterback could be reeling, right, I mean
he was underwhelming.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Underwood was underwhelming, yes, And.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
I thought Michigan's edges would cause more trouble for USC
like they have for some other teams, but that didn't happen.
So you got to give USC credit. It's always a
big deal to beat Michigan. And you know, I think
also an element in that is that we're also learning
and you guys know this at Washington.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I'm sure I made the point on the show.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Coming all the way across the country and playing in
some big ass stadium is hard for the East Coast
guys too. You know, walking down the tunnel in the
coliseum is not like taking the field in Stanford.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Let's let's be honest about it.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So I think there's an element of that there, and
I think there will be an element of that in
the UH in the situation for Washington going the opposite direction,
but because that is a crazy place to play, although
it is Rolls bull esque as far as noise and
all that goes, but I think they're teetering. If USC
(17:34):
just ran the ball all over you, you're in trouble.
And if you couldn't really generate a lot of offense
against the USC defense that got embarrassed against Illinois on
the road, UH, that's I mean, you should be able
to move the ball. I expect it to be a
good game. Washington's got a great running back, quarterback that
can run. It knows when to use his athleticism, it seems,
(17:56):
and when to throw the ball and play within the offense.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Things are good, all right, you gotta go good stuff.
Where are you at this weekend?
Speaker 5 (18:04):
By the way, I am here because I have two games.
Uh so they've you know, I get a lot of
weeks off this year. But I also which I don't like,
but then they'll hit me with like two games in
a week, like three weeks in a row. And this
is one of those weeks. I have two games and
they're both gonna be done from here, it's and they're
(18:26):
one of them is really good. The other one I
like just as much. But UNLV at Boise, which is
the Mountain West game of the year, yep. And then
New Mexico hosting Nevada, who's really struggling. But I very
much liked that coach who I believe was at Washington,
Jeff Choate.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Yes, he was coach Peterson's defensive line coach.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
He's the one that turned Will Disney from a defensive
lineman to a tight end and he made the NFL
because of that.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, get out of here.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
By the way, you know what, hit hit choke with that,
and you'll sound like you know what the hell you're
talking about.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Hit choke with it. I'm gonna hit you with it
on the FS one Saturday night. Bitch, you better give
me credit, all right. Yeah, Petrus, you're the man.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We love you.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
It sounded like a frat boy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Enjoy the weekend. Yeah, okay, we'll talk in a week.
See you, man, I love you, all right.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
