really our honor, absolutely our pleasure to be joined now
on this glorious sub forty degree Wednesday afternoon in Seattle
by the Grand Marshal of the Peninsula Parade of Lights
for the City of Rolling Hills, Estates, California, and Petros
(01:01):
Papadoucus brought to you Bye.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
That would be the one and only Sweet James, the
dense beirit of justice. He can come through for you.
If you've ever been in a car accident, a motorcycle accident,
maybe a dog has bitting your balls. You need legal representation.
You cannot trust the insurance company. And that is where
sweet James comes in eight hundred and nine million or
sweet James dot com.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's a pretty cool gig being the grand marshall for
a parade.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, they've asked me a few years in a round.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
And I'm laughing because for a guy like you that
hates being around people, I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's not far from my house.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
So the guy that was in charge is the father,
the well respected father of a great Peninsula high school linebacker,
Tony Persaquina that I played football with. And I couldn't
say no to his father, and I figured, wow, it's
so far down the road.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Who and here it is?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, good for you, it's you know what, there's one day,
One day will come where you will not be invited
or asked to do things like that, and you'll wonder
where the hell is probably next year. Hey, by the way,
did you happen to watch any of the UW Oregon game?
And did you did you catch what Dan Landing did
in the locker room?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I was struggling in East Lansing, Michigan to stay above
the snow because it was the snowiest game I've ever
called out there. Oh, Michigan State Rutgers charming place. Was
nice to see Jonathan Smith.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Do not do.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You when you Okay, I know you thought of me
when you saw him a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah yeah, anyway, No, I didn't see the game.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What happened.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I know I know that you dub had a chance. Right,
they were floating around.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, not really, Okay, yeah, we got killed. I mean
they were in. A young quarterback looked okay, yeah, he
looked at her. He got sucked ten times, well, seventeen
to twenty. But you know, I mean sacking five. Maybe
my eyebrows don't raise.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Right, damn Well, that's kind of out of control, don't
you think?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Like ten sacks? Was it because he was running around
like a crazy chicken or was it part of it?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Part of it was the offensive line just got overwhelmed, Okay,
yeah by Derek Harmonding company. But then Landing And I
don't know if this was halftime or postgame. Some folks,
I think we're saying it was at halftime. He took
a husky helmet in the locker room. Okay, and took
a sledgehammer to it.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Did he steal it? I don't know where he got
it from. He must have purchased it. I'm sure he did.
Had one of his minions go get it. Because you
can't steal somebody's helmet. That's not cool.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
You saw what happened to that kid to tried to
steal the helmet at the cal Stanford game after the
kids were rushing the field.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well god, I mean, there's a lot to talk about
from the last weekend, But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
What do you think Jed Fish thinks about Dan Lanning smell?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I do. I don't feel well. I have a sore throat,
my body ache. I skipped yoga today. I don't feel well.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm not asking you to do a Jetfish impression. If
you want to do it, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Well, my thing is is if you lose the game,
it's a big rivalry game.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And coaches are different now.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
They're not the salty, old angry Don James types that
we grew up with, right, and they do very demonstrative things.
They do things that they hope will go viral to
a certain degree to recruit young people that think.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's cool and all of that stuff. So it is different.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And to me, if you lose, just get off the
field before anybody recognizes you.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It sucks to lose. It's terrible to lose a football game.
It's a terrible feeling to see some guy you were
recruited with or playing with or playing against in high
school waving his junk all over your face after the game,
dancing around waving a flag and whatnot. But the thing
about football is you have this great opportunity between the
(05:10):
whistles to really manhandle people and to be as angry
and as violent and as explosively pissed off as you
want to be. And when the game's over, the game's over.
You know, I'd much rather the guys kneel and say
a prayer. And the great thing about football at the
higher levels is we don't line up like high school
(05:34):
and force everybody to shake hands. Yeah, if you're pissed off,
go ahead and go up the tunnel and go be
in the locker room pissed off, and then go see
your family and let it dissipate. This whole thing of
fighting over flags and pitchforks and just staying out there
and off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's the dumbest thing. It is so galactically.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I mean, one day, right, one day, you're gonna want
to tell your kids or your friends or whatever you're
doing in life.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, man, I had three tackles.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
In Michigan, Ohio state or Florida State versus Florida or whatever,
and that's really cool. But after the game, you're sitting
here playing tug of war with a flag like my kids.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I mean, it looks so stupid.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So what should just so Jack Sawyer who went up
to the Michigan guy and tried to rip away, get
up to you know, look, just let him do it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Let him plant the flag of the get up the tunnel. Okay,
So you're telling.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Me back in the day, back in the day, usc
it happened if okay, tell me.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We lost to cal I played at cal I, knew
all of those guys. I had one hundred yard game
and we lost in overtime or some terrible circumstance. And
John Welborne, who was a guy that I went to
high school with, was running around with a flag, waving
around his junk, wiggling his big fat white ass on
(07:09):
the fifty with the cow flag.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It was absolutely infuriating, but and I have it still
eched in my memory. But we lost the game. That's
that good. And I'm not one for partying on the
field if you win either, but the theatrics of today
or the theatrics of today, my point is, if you're
gonna act like such a hard ass, you should have
(07:31):
done it during the game. Ohio State, for God's sakes,
And you know me, I don't have a big dog
in the fight Ohio State Michigan.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But Ohio State acted so tough before that game. They
lined up on the field and intimidated the Michigan players,
or tried to. When they came out, they got their
ass squarely kicked by a very mediocre team without their
two best players.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yep. And then after the game, you want to have
some passionate.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Stations of the Cross on the fifty and get pepper
spray in all this crap, go up the tunnel before
anybody recognizes you. And if they want to smash a helmet,
if they bought it at the Dicks, far and square.
Do you think the guy in Oregon had to go
to the Dicks and get the Washington helmet and then
over to the home depoty at the Sledgehammer maybe or
(08:21):
I think it was one trip or do you think
they sent out two managers? Well, I mean you can
probably get both on Amazon, to be honest with you, right,
just you know, one shot deal.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm sure Landing's got a prime membership, so it probably
came in.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
The Landing's pretty good at the theatrics, although when he said, like,
you know, we talk on the grass, we don't talk
you know, in the media, it's like, well, you're talking
to the media right now and you don't play on grass. Yeah,
you know. That's but he does have kind of a
knack for this. Some coaches try this kind of stuff
and miss horribly. So I'm sure he's very excited that
(08:54):
he's won some big games and that he's over the
hump and no one's calling him out for being inapt
down the strand where you have to make tough decisions.
That was the that was the knock on him before
this year, right, So good for them. Well, you know
they I thought they were gonna lose because they dressed
up like the Raiders. Yeah they did well. They I
don't even know what their colors are anymore. But whatever,
they don't give a damn. Uncle Phil doesn't give it.
(09:16):
Dam They just had a great recruiting class. They got
a bunch of five star guys, all that stuff. And
it's a bad thing for SC two And it's definitely
not good for Washington because they flipped the script. But
and it's because Debor's gone.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But what are you talking about? Jen?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Jen just signed like thirty guys and had the number
twenty three class.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
In the country. Yeah, but what I'm saying, it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Here's the problem. Jed, Jed is not. Jed is not
a offensive line builder, is he. Maybe he is if
he proves to be all to eat my words, But
my thing is us he has been dominant for generations
of football throughout the years because of the offensive line
people and defensive line really that they can recruit and
(10:01):
develop here and compete nationally. That has always been the case,
and that's why USC football became and is a blue blood.
And they haven't been doing that really since two thousand
and eight. And the offensive linemen that are great are
not going there anymore. They are going to Oregon, They're
(10:24):
going to Washington, or they were, And there's a reason
Organ's undefeated, and it's not because of some running back
or a quarterback from Oklahoma with a pop gun arm.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So you'll do that, but not the fish impression. It's
because of their line. What do you say, I can
develop line there? It is all right there, it is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well, they got the Big Ten championship on Saturday, and
there's some folks who think that maybe Oregon's better off
just kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Losing the game and kicking one. Well, I mean that's
kind of the thing.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It's like, the championship games are going to become obsolete,
but the TV companies control it and they're going to
have to fight, yeah, for the championship games.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's I mean, does anybody really care about the like
I'm Patrick, Well.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I mean just only the playoff implications. And look, the
playoff thing is so screwed up because the committee is
so screwed up.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And we don't need a committee.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
We need uniformity, and we need everybody to play the
same amount of conference games and no cupcake Week in
November and all that, and we need to not have
like a media arm propaganda machine for the SEC. But
we're not going to have that because they own the
freaking playoff too, That's right, So we just can sit
(11:40):
here and piss in the wind.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I guess, well, did the committee you know, like I know,
Miami's mad that Alabama is ranked ahead of them, you know,
Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We shouldn't need a committee to tell us these things.
We should have some uniformity. So there's really no argument.
What's the point of having a real playoff if we
don't have a real way to get in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, there is an argument until then, I'm saying, did
they get the ratings or the rankings that came out
yesterday like this, does Kaitlin de Born Alabama at nine
and three deserve to be in the playoff?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, okay, I'm just asking.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Man, I'm just brand oriented, and that's not supposed to matter.
It really isn't.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, well I think it does. I think it does,
no question it does. And I think there's been folks
that have actually admitted that that. Until you know, you get,
like you said, some uniformity, and you when the conference
you're in second place in this conference, you're in like
they do in the NFL. Whatever tie breakers, blah blah blah,
it's always gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But dude.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I got to ask you though about siding day, because
we did have some conversations off the year between me
and Jackson and Dick and our daily show meeting. Oh
yeah yeah, prep yeah, prep zone yeah, right about how
important today is. And I used to get crazy about today.
Let's get players on, let's get coaches on, right that
you do the show from from you dub Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Right? And different thing.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Well, now there's two signing days and two portals, right,
and none of it means anything. And I don't want
to be on my knees in the mock sifting through
the sea moss to see what's what or who's going where.
I really don't, so I'm not even paying much attention.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
To it anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, And I think a lot of people feel that way, that, hey,
how many of these guys are going to stay, how
many of them will be gone after a year, how
many of my other things, like portal players that will
be here in a couple of weeks or whatever. I'm
tired of, like the five paragraphs you expect me to
read when you transfer on your Twitter post or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Me, No, just whoever transferring? Right now? They put these
screenshots up of.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And to this person and to that person, and I'm
eternally grateful, and please respect my just say.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
You're transferring.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Just nobody cares anymore with the with the inspirational picture
of your face up and then you playing in the
uniform like no, okay, no nobody cares. You're a football
mercenary just like the rest of us. That's right, shut
your hole and go play it freaking wyoming.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My favorite is when they write these big, long notes
but how much they love the school, and then at
the very very end with that, I'm in the portal.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Please respect my decision.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well, I saw where Lincoln Riley did. Is Central Florida
going after Lincoln Riley?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
What the hell is? Do you believe that? I don't
know what to believe? Man, I know Jen would love
to have that, don't you think? Are you kidding me? Hey?
That fine?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I mean you'd want to ask yourself why the story
is out right? Is Lincoln trying through his agent to
show his desirability or flex a muscle? Does UCF really
want him? I know USC doesn't. Usc fans are thinking
is this a way out?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And it's not.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
He's in year three of a ten year, ten million
dollar deal with a huge buyout, and I think his
agent or somebody, I mean, Feldman has gotten in line
with this and all of the coaching carousel clowns, and
I think they're trying to drum up some interest and
be like, see see people want Lincoln, see Cecee. But
(15:23):
I mean, I don't think USC is going to get
out of this that easily, do you. It is going
to cost According to the Athletic article today, it's going
to cost ninety million to get ridily correctly, Yes, and
I thought it was that's twenty million more than I thought.
I thought it was seventieth night. I told you it
was ninety one.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, So there you go. Yeah, Okay, you're right. You
want to go do a lap with your doubt, Like really,
I know it's cold up there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I just don't know why you just don't trust me
what I tell you. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
You're talking about whether or not Lebron should be sitting
during the NBA Cup. Well, that one got by me too,
Like when did Lebron make his like weird manifest destiny
proclamation that he wasn't gonna he was gonna play in
every single game? I don't know and he wasn't gonna
set out, Like when did that happen? I was surprised
too to hear that.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, you know, they're like, oh, he's gonna play in
ALL eighty two and that's it jeopardy now because he's
oh for fifty in the last. It's like, what when
did he say he was gonna play ALL eighty two?
Did I miss something?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I don't work in LA, so I don't need to,
you know, watch things.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Like well, I don't know I missed it too. I
don't watch anything. I didn't watch the Organ game. I
don't know about Lebron. I don't know about anything.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But he makes it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He's got an uncannyability man, even when there's nothing going on,
to make it all about him.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And he's done it again.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Oh and his media company that everybody tried to stroke
for years. You know, he's a media mobile. He's not
just they've never made money. It's never made money, according
to Bloomberg, and they are thirty million dollars in debt.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Stick to basketball. Oh you're not supposed to say that
up and dribble.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh oh god, all right, hey, listen, we're here not
you're not feeling great, get better at up?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm trying to express some sympathy for you. Why do
you take a day off and enjoy rest?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Up? They won't miss you that bad if you skip
a show very important that I do sports talk radio.
All right, go get him, cowboy. What would become of
the world if I wasn't there to tell everybody what's
going on?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
How long would you have to be gone for before
people really got concerned? Like a Ferris Mueller type situation?
Three minutes?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh? Really? People know that I'm very volatile. You're that important? Huh,
I'm that explosive. All right? Sucking easy, softy, see you man.
Bet Trow's Papa Douca is with us. We're gonna break.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Do not do.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You when you Okay, I know you thought of me
when you saw him a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah yeah, anyway, No, I didn't see the game.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
What happened.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I know I know that you dub had a chance. Right,
they were floating around.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, not really, Okay, yeah, we got killed. I mean
they were in. A young quarterback looked okay, yeah, he
looked at her. He got sucked ten times, well, seventeen
to twenty. But you know, I mean sacking five. Maybe
my eyebrows don't raise.
Speaker 3 (03:13):

Part of it was the offensive line just got overwhelmed, Okay,
yeah by Derek Harmonding company. But then Landing And I
don't know if this was halftime or postgame. Some folks,
I think we're saying it was at halftime. He took
a husky helmet in the locker room. Okay, and took
a sledgehammer to it.

and as violent and as explosively pissed off as you
want to be. And when the game's over, the game's over.
You know, I'd much rather the guys kneel and say
a prayer. And the great thing about football at the
higher levels is we don't line up like high school
(05:34):
and force everybody to shake hands. Yeah, if you're pissed off,
go ahead and go up the tunnel and go be
in the locker room pissed off, and then go see
your family and let it dissipate. This whole thing of
fighting over flags and pitchforks and just staying out there
and off.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's the dumbest thing. It is so galactically.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
I mean, one day, right, one day, you're gonna want
to tell your kids or your friends or whatever you're
doing in life.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, man, I had three tackles.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
In Michigan, Ohio state or Florida State versus Florida or whatever,
and that's really cool. But after the game, you're sitting
here playing tug of war with a flag like my kids.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I mean, it looks so stupid.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So what should just so Jack Sawyer who went up
to the Michigan guy and tried to rip away, get
up to you know, look, just let him do it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Let him plant the flag of the get up the tunnel. Okay,
So you're telling.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Me back in the day, back in the day, usc
it happened if okay, tell me.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
We lost to cal I played at cal I, knew
all of those guys. I had one hundred yard game
and we lost in overtime or some terrible circumstance. And
John Welborne, who was a guy that I went to
high school with, was running around with a flag, waving
around his junk, wiggling his big fat white ass on
(07:09):
the fifty with the cow flag.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What do you do?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It was absolutely infuriating, but and I have it still
eched in my memory. But we lost the game. That's
that good. And I'm not one for partying on the
field if you win either, but the theatrics of today
or the theatrics of today, my point is, if you're
gonna act like such a hard ass, you should have
(07:31):
done it during the game. Ohio State, for God's sakes,
And you know me, I don't have a big dog
in the fight Ohio State Michigan.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But Ohio State acted so tough before that game. They
lined up on the field and intimidated the Michigan players,
or tried to. When they came out, they got their
ass squarely kicked by a very mediocre team without their
two best players.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yep. And then after the game, you want to have
some passionate.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Stations of the Cross on the fifty and get pepper
spray in all this crap, go up the tunnel before
anybody recognizes you. And if they want to smash a helmet,
if they bought it at the Dicks, far and square.
Do you think the guy in Oregon had to go
to the Dicks and get the Washington helmet and then
over to the home depoty at the Sledgehammer maybe or
(08:21):
I think it was one trip or do you think
they sent out two managers? Well, I mean you can
probably get both on Amazon, to be honest with you, right,
just you know, one shot deal.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm sure Landing's got a prime membership, so it probably
came in.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
The Landing's pretty good at the theatrics, although when he said, like,
you know, we talk on the grass, we don't talk
you know, in the media, it's like, well, you're talking
to the media right now and you don't play on grass. Yeah,
you know. That's but he does have kind of a
knack for this. Some coaches try this kind of stuff
and miss horribly. So I'm sure he's very excited that
(08:54):
he's won some big games and that he's over the
hump and no one's calling him out for being inapt
down the strand where you have to make tough decisions.
That was the that was the knock on him before
this year, right, So good for them. Well, you know
they I thought they were gonna lose because they dressed
up like the Raiders. Yeah they did well. They I
don't even know what their colors are anymore. But whatever,
they don't give a damn. Uncle Phil doesn't give it.
(09:16):
Dam They just had a great recruiting class. They got
a bunch of five star guys, all that stuff. And
it's a bad thing for SC two And it's definitely
not good for Washington because they flipped the script. But
and it's because Debor's gone.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
But what are you talking about? Jen?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Jen just signed like thirty guys and had the number
twenty three class.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
In the country. Yeah, but what I'm saying, it's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Here's the problem. Jed, Jed is not. Jed is not
a offensive line builder, is he. Maybe he is if
he proves to be all to eat my words, But
my thing is us he has been dominant for generations
of football throughout the years because of the offensive line
people and defensive line really that they can recruit and
(10:01):
develop here and compete nationally. That has always been the case,
and that's why USC football became and is a blue blood.
And they haven't been doing that really since two thousand
and eight. And the offensive linemen that are great are
not going there anymore. They are going to Oregon, They're
(10:24):
going to Washington, or they were, And there's a reason
Organ's undefeated, and it's not because of some running back
or a quarterback from Oklahoma with a pop gun arm.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
So you'll do that, but not the fish impression. It's
because of their line. What do you say, I can
develop line there? It is all right there, it is.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Well, they got the Big Ten championship on Saturday, and
there's some folks who think that maybe Oregon's better off
just kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Losing the game and kicking one. Well, I mean that's
kind of the thing.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
It's like, the championship games are going to become obsolete,
but the TV companies control it and they're going to
have to fight, yeah, for the championship games.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's I mean, does anybody really care about the like
I'm Patrick, Well.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
I mean just only the playoff implications. And look, the
playoff thing is so screwed up because the committee is
so screwed up.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And we don't need a committee.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
We need uniformity, and we need everybody to play the
same amount of conference games and no cupcake Week in
November and all that, and we need to not have
like a media arm propaganda machine for the SEC. But
we're not going to have that because they own the
freaking playoff too, That's right, So we just can sit
(11:40):
here and piss in the wind.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I guess, well, did the committee you know, like I know,
Miami's mad that Alabama is ranked ahead of them, you know,
Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
We shouldn't need a committee to tell us these things.
We should have some uniformity. So there's really no argument.
What's the point of having a real playoff if we
don't have a real way to get in the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Well, there is an argument until then, I'm saying, did
they get the ratings or the rankings that came out
yesterday like this, does Kaitlin de Born Alabama at nine
and three deserve to be in the playoff?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
No, okay, I'm just asking.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Man, I'm just brand oriented, and that's not supposed to matter.
It really isn't.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, well I think it does. I think it does,
no question it does. And I think there's been folks
that have actually admitted that that. Until you know, you get,
like you said, some uniformity, and you when the conference
you're in second place in this conference, you're in like
they do in the NFL. Whatever tie breakers, blah blah blah,
it's always gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
But dude.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I got to ask you though about siding day, because
we did have some conversations off the year between me
and Jackson and Dick and our daily show meeting. Oh
yeah yeah, prep yeah, prep zone yeah, right about how
important today is. And I used to get crazy about today.
Let's get players on, let's get coaches on, right that
you do the show from from you dub Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Right? And different thing.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Well, now there's two signing days and two portals, right,
and none of it means anything. And I don't want
to be on my knees in the mock sifting through
the sea moss to see what's what or who's going where.
I really don't, so I'm not even paying much attention.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
To it anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, And I think a lot of people feel that way, that, hey,
how many of these guys are going to stay, how
many of them will be gone after a year, how
many of my other things, like portal players that will
be here in a couple of weeks or whatever. I'm
tired of, like the five paragraphs you expect me to
read when you transfer on your Twitter post or whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Me, No, just whoever transferring? Right now? They put these
screenshots up of.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
And to this person and to that person, and I'm
eternally grateful, and please respect my just say.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
You're transferring.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
Just nobody cares anymore with the with the inspirational picture
of your face up and then you playing in the
uniform like no, okay, no nobody cares. You're a football
mercenary just like the rest of us. That's right, shut
your hole and go play it freaking wyoming.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
My favorite is when they write these big, long notes
but how much they love the school, and then at
the very very end with that, I'm in the portal.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Please respect my decision.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well, I saw where Lincoln Riley did. Is Central Florida
going after Lincoln Riley?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
What the hell is? Do you believe that? I don't
know what to believe? Man, I know Jen would love
to have that, don't you think? Are you kidding me? Hey?
That fine?
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I mean you'd want to ask yourself why the story
is out right? Is Lincoln trying through his agent to
show his desirability or flex a muscle? Does UCF really
want him? I know USC doesn't. Usc fans are thinking
is this a way out?
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And it's not.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
He's in year three of a ten year, ten million
dollar deal with a huge buyout, and I think his
agent or somebody, I mean, Feldman has gotten in line
with this and all of the coaching carousel clowns, and
I think they're trying to drum up some interest and
be like, see see people want Lincoln, see Cecee. But
(15:23):
I mean, I don't think USC is going to get
out of this that easily, do you. It is going
to cost According to the Athletic article today, it's going
to cost ninety million to get ridily correctly, Yes, and
I thought it was that's twenty million more than I thought.
I thought it was seventieth night. I told you it
was ninety one.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, So there you go. Yeah, Okay, you're right. You
want to go do a lap with your doubt, Like really,
I know it's cold up there.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I just don't know why you just don't trust me
what I tell you. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
You're talking about whether or not Lebron should be sitting
during the NBA Cup. Well, that one got by me too,
Like when did Lebron make his like weird manifest destiny
proclamation that he wasn't gonna he was gonna play in
every single game? I don't know and he wasn't gonna
set out, Like when did that happen? I was surprised
too to hear that.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, you know, they're like, oh, he's gonna play in
ALL eighty two and that's it jeopardy now because he's
oh for fifty in the last. It's like, what when
did he say he was gonna play ALL eighty two?
Did I miss something?
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I don't work in LA, so I don't need to,
you know, watch things.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Like well, I don't know I missed it too. I
don't watch anything. I didn't watch the Organ game. I
don't know about Lebron. I don't know about anything.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
But he makes it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
He's got an uncannyability man, even when there's nothing going on,
to make it all about him.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And he's done it again.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Oh and his media company that everybody tried to stroke
for years. You know, he's a media mobile. He's not
just they've never made money. It's never made money, according
to Bloomberg, and they are thirty million dollars in debt.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Stick to basketball. Oh you're not supposed to say that
up and dribble.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Oh oh god, all right, hey, listen, we're here not
you're not feeling great, get better at up?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm trying to express some sympathy for you. Why do
you take a day off and enjoy rest?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Up? They won't miss you that bad if you skip
a show very important that I do sports talk radio.
All right, go get him, cowboy. What would become of
the world if I wasn't there to tell everybody what's
going on?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
How long would you have to be gone for before
people really got concerned? Like a Ferris Mueller type situation?
Three minutes?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh? Really? People know that I'm very volatile. You're that important? Huh,
I'm that explosive. All right? Sucking easy, softy, see you man.
Bet Trow's Papa Douca is with us. We're gonna break.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Kevin Harlan's coming up at five right here on ninety
three to three KJRFM.
