Spongy Christopher Media dot net. Thankyou for listening, Christopher Media, Dott
and now here are your hosts.And here we are again, Chris,
I'm rich and I am the iceman. Ice wanted to get to something right
(00:20):
here at the top of the show. Go ahead. Uh yeah, it
just yesterday came across my wire thatBobby Bowden, former coach of FSU,
former coach of West Virginia. You. Uh, he's ninety one, but
he's got diagnosed with the terminal illness. And uh, I just hope.
(00:42):
I don't even want to pray.I just hope the man has a safe
journey home. Is a big,big thing in my life. Probably one
of the only male figures that evertalk to me about football and how I
played it and encouraged me. Andhe basically started recruiting me when I was
a off more um and uh,I ain't gonna go into the did he
(01:06):
do anything bad as a coach likeeverybody else wants to talk about with bow
and everybody, the man was agood man to me, and uh yeah,
I just I wish him all thebest and h he's had a long
life. I just hope that it'sa safe Journey Home man. All right,
I always hate saying this. Ithought he'd already passed on. It
(01:30):
is just because he's ninety one dude. So it's not like he's dying young
like that's a sit like he's sick. Like I didn't know he was still
with us. Yeah, didn't heretire like when we were like college age
a little after Like the last timeI remember hearing his name is like two
thousand something like and not two thousandand teen something two to two and two
(01:51):
zeros in front of it two thousand, right, Yeah, it wasn't that
bad, but uh yeah, Imean he won two national titles at FSU.
You can see him in the movieUh We Are Marshall, where he
helped Marshall rebuild with the veer offensethat he came up with Florida States.
Is that was no, that wasn'tuh with her Aaron Hernandez and't all that
(02:16):
that wasn't as Florida, Florida,other Florida college guys. That was the
Gators about the Seminoles, Yeah,they still allowed to have the Indian and
they oh oh canceled. Are theystill allowed to have the Native American at
their games? On the horse.Is that still a thing? Yeah,
for the time of being right,throwing throwing the fear in the field at
(02:37):
midfield, Ye, give it acouple of years. I don't think anybody
has the balls to step to fuabout that, really, I don't.
Well, here's the here's the problem. If the Seminal tribe, if the
Seminal tribes given them, they're ablessing, um, what is there a
bitch about it? Hasn't it happenedwith the Chicago Blackhawks. They're like,
(02:59):
yeah, whatever, we've we've askedhim, when this school, when this,
when this this ramp up to renamingeverything, which I didn't realize.
This is just an interesting sidebar.Apparently Cleveland Indians won't be the Indians much
longer. That's official. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't realize it
(03:20):
was official official. They're they're well, no, no, not just Chief
wah who, No more Cleveland Indians. It's gonna be Cleveland something. But
it ain't gonna be the Indians.Apparently that's coming in the next year or
two. But they're not doing aWashington did and just going Washington football team,
which I kind of think is abig fuck you to the NFL from
what's his face? Who owns Washingtonis Schneider? Snyder? Yeah, Schneider,
(03:44):
Yeah, I'm with you two.Like I will just call it the
Washington football team licked my balls,assholes, that's the memo. Well,
the difference between the black Hawks andthe Florida State Seminals and the Washington Skins
and Cleveland Indians is those the Blackhawksand the Seminoles are actual tribe beings.
(04:08):
They're not slang terms are made upnamed by the white man, if you
will, and the Blackhawks Als willhave the permission from the Blackhawk tribe,
right, But I mean for ClevelandIndian, first of all, the Indian
is a made up term by awhite man, you know, for the
indigenous people they were in India,Isn't it also? Right? Exactly exactly.
(04:29):
So the other thing is with theWashington Redskins, it was basically an
n word to the to the Indians. So I mean that's why those teams
are attacked. But but symbols likethe Blackhawks, the Seminoles, those things
are actual tribes. And yes,Blackhawks got the blessed. I'm almost positive
Seminole County has given their blessing forFlorida State. Has anyone said anything about
(04:55):
the Chiefs you live out in ChiefsCountry? Has anyone said anything out there?
No? Hell no, no,no, no. Well that's what
I was gonna say, is thatwhen this when this started to ramp up,
you know, the whole we gotto rename stuff. Can't have this
name cultural appropriation, blah blah blah. The very first time I think we
(05:16):
talked about it before even sports youwas around, was unregimented and even And
that's what six years ago now twentyand fifteen, I think was when maybe
the n twenty fourteen, when whenthe ship really started, you know,
bitting at the consciousness of society.And uh yeah, I mean every report
I heard NPR sports stations, Yes, the Blackhawks and Seminoles both have the
(05:42):
tribe's blessing to use their names,their image and likeness. And if that
and only thing I can say thatif that's the case and you're still bitching,
you no longer have a problem withthe team. You need to go
talk to people that fucking gave theirblessing to the team. That's what you
need to do. So the teamsare calling rich and phone doesn't ring until
(06:06):
I'm on this fucking show. Amazedone of you still has a house phone.
No, that's my cell phone.Why does you shit sound like the
like like you work at the movieoffice space. I don't know. Why
does it sound like it comes withthe chord that goes from the kitchen the
living room. Yeah, that's whatI'm saying. Probably because probably because honestly,
(06:27):
I never switched anything else or switchedanything out. I don't give a
fuck enough too. Just it's aring tone. Hardly anyone, cause your
phone sounds like it's tan. It'splastic. It was like that long curved
rectangle shape. Yeah, well no, no, no, no, no,
it's the bag over my shoulder andthe suction cup antenna that goes on
(06:50):
top the cars. What it isit's it's it's it's it's like one of
those fucking type cell cell phones.But anyways, all right, the family
man. So it's a football phone. So all if you probably Bowden,
Yeah, let's move on here.Um, I just want to say about
this and then you guys can canhash it out because I don't have a
(07:13):
dog in this fight. Uh,I don't really care who won the fucking
NBA Championship. I'm just gonna saythis, Holy shit, they let them
travel in basketball these days, don'tthey. Oh? Yeah, Like I
thought it was bad in the ninetieswith you know, three four steps before
every fucking dunk, pushing the fuckingyou know, the limits of that rule
(07:35):
and a half. Apparently there's aEuropean step, Like there's there's all these
different names for traveling now that theydon't call because it's given some weird name.
And I'm just like, I didn'tknow if I was the only one
that was like catching on, maybebecause I'm just so fucking out of the
loop. Then I turned on localsports talk the next day and they're talking
(07:57):
about it, and people are callingin like this is how can anyone watch
this shit? And I think thisis even entertaining. Yeah, it's called
the European layup. Almost They've completelyremoved almost all physicality from the fucking sport,
and now you can basically fucking doubledribble or travel all over the place
and it's it's no big deal.Add to that, which we've and we've
(08:18):
talked about all this add nauseum overthe years, but the superstar rules that
exist in the NBA. I thinkall these dudes get these triple doubles all
the time. So at this point, I'm just like, I'm pretty yeah,
I'm I'm pretty happy with my decisionto be like, yeah, don't
really give much of a fuck aboutthe NBA. I tried, I really
(08:39):
did. I sat down and triedto watch a game. It was like,
I don't even know what the fuckI'm watching, Like, I know
it's I know it's basketball, butit don't resemble the basketball I remember.
So yeah, if that's if that'swhat it's like to watch a basketball game
these days, I'm good. SoyIce current MVP. Motherfucker. I told
you. I didn't. I meanI didn't even I wasn't even brute for
(09:00):
him at the beginning. But man, you you you were trying to call
it in like the first quarter ofthe first game, like Sons are gonna
win in the finals. But look, from time to time, even I
the iceman have been wrong and theI wanted. I wanted to blame the
(09:24):
refs. I wanted to put onsome tinfoil suits and say that they bought
and paid that for that championship.I wanted to say that NBC said please
make it go at least six sowe can get our ratings up. You
know something, But watching the sixthgame, if I said any of that,
(09:45):
I would be completely and fullheartedly andknowingly disrespecting Giannis. He dropped fifty.
That kid wanted that title period intofile, and he he put every
bit of that fucking team on hisback and said, I got you.
That is what a good leader does, at least in sports. We are
(10:07):
not going back to Phoenix. Hehad no doubt in his mind. I
watched that man play that game,and I'm like, damn, Chris Paul
couldn't dribble to save his fucking life. Devin Booker forgot how to shoot.
Jay Crowder just just fucking appeared theircenter. They're there, second coming of
Shaquille O'Neal was so scared he couldn'tcatch a pass. I'm not this puts
(10:33):
all of this. Chris Paul asa superstar talk to rest, I've never
Okay, wait a minute, noit don't. Chris Paul is definitely a
fucking superstar. Uh dude. Heis in his late fucking thirties looking at
forty head on, and in myopinion, Chris Paul is Scottie Pippin two
point zero. He's a great secondbanana, okay, but they've always tried
(10:56):
to sell him as he's on thelevel with people like lebron On, with
people like the Greek Freak, withpeople like Kevin Durant. No, he's
not. I always think he's beenbuilt up a lot more than he than
he actually is. No, ChrisPaul is a great piece. But that's
the Phoenix Suns. That's why Ithought they had this because they have a
(11:18):
lot of that, a lot ofgreat pieces. You put that together,
you make a hole it they didfor most of the playoffs and the start
of the finals. We always talkedabout with Phoenix is they had momentum going.
The problem with momentum is it stops. You know, they've been riding
a swing since April. You haveto think about that too. At some
(11:39):
point the law of averages had tocatch up with him, and it did.
I mean they came to a fullfucking stop. I mean that one
for their first loss. They gotembarrassed. What was it like, blown
out by like twenty by twenty points. Yes, here's what I think happened,
dude. The Phoenix Sons, thepieces to the whole. The only
(12:01):
really old piece of that was ChrisPaul. The rest of them were young
as fuck, and they got twogames up into the finals and they're counting
the millions and designing the rings andall kinds of shit and thinking, we
just need to win one at atMilwaukee, come home and win it.
They count their chickens before they hatched, and Milwaukee had something for them because
(12:24):
a row for him, right,Milwaukee is full of fucking veteran players,
two of them who had played togetherfor eight years, and that's Giannis and
Middleton, two of the biggest piecesof the Milwaukee Bucks. And they were
like, you haven't even scratched thesurface of the finals. Kids, Sit
down, let me show you something. And they did. I do think
(12:45):
it's funny that you were looking forany excuse to lay it the blame for
this at the feet of Besides,I was wrong, Oh NBC one sixteen,
Oh no, no, no,no, this and this this,
That just shows how your mind works. You fought so hard not to take
an l that you were willing tofucking go to the land of fantasy for
a second. It was like,no, even I can't do that,
(13:07):
right, I couldn't. I reallycaught tried because the way that the fucking
scenic Suns were played, they beatthe entire city of LA for fuck's sake.
They were on a mission and itjust got ended quickly by Greek freaking
friends. Yeah, this is likeworst just dalked out a fucking lit fire.
(13:28):
This is best worst case scenario thoughfor the NBA, I mean it's
media markets go. We talked aboutit. It's like market thirty eight.
But as far as best case,I mean, this is the guy that's
you talked about it last podcast,and you are right. This is the
guy they've got their eye on tobe when when King James finally fades into
the sunset. This is this isthe guy who succeeds him. Well,
(13:50):
here's the thing. They're trying togo with Kevin Durant. But Kevin Durant
can't stay healthy. Kevin Durant,he's also over thirty. He ain't got
much longer and Erny didn't he justturn thirty like Holds Holds Zion. Oh
he's young as fun. He's onlybeen at least twenty two or three years.
Yeah, but he hasn't he hasn'tpanned out like he's good. He's
the star of his team. ButI mean he's not. He's not.
(14:11):
I mean, oh, you gottaagree with this. He's not worried.
They thought he would be this farin like Ryan Williams. Yeah, god
no, I mean no, hewas many shock. Yeah. They they
thought he was gonna be top tenplays on Sports Center every night. They
thought he was gonna be that guy. Yeah, if you're going to the
paint, you're fun. Yeah,and he's not even close. He's he's
(14:33):
the victim of millions. So theygot paid and was like, huh oh
play, yeah, I can dothat. Still hold on a minute.
So far, the most notable thingeveryone knows about him is his shoe blew
up. But I mean, andthen that makes sense why I'm the few
Pistons fans I actually know personally.When I talked to him, they're like
(14:56):
kind of nervous about his number oneoverall pick could be another on a situation,
I'm like, I thought he wasdoing well for the Pelicans. He
is doing well for the Pelicans,but he's not. He's not the fucking
yeah, he's not two point ohLebron two point oh whatever the fuck?
Yeah, I know I get that, but all right, well, I
(15:20):
mean this is huge. This isI don't want to understate this. I've
watched the Four Letter Network talk aboutit. This is absolutely enormous. Gianna
sided to put on a tupo JesusChrist, try to say that three times
fast Um had a chance to goto a supermax team this season. He
(15:41):
was going to be a free agentand had a chance to go search for
the ring. He never said thisis a shot and a dig Kevin Durant
like there was no tomorrow, buthe said that, you know, And
it was after he won a championship. But he didn't want to go searching
for the ring. He wanted todeliver the title to the team that took
(16:03):
a chance on a kid from Greece. And that's why he stayed. And
he signed a Supermax contract with theMilwaukee Bucks before this season started to show
them. Look, he took achance on me. I'm gonna be here
until I deliver. That speaks volumesin today's age, Chris, and he
delivered right away, right away.But that speaks volumes that he even stayed.
(16:26):
A kid of that talent, atwo time MVP, a Finals MVP,
now Defensive Player of the Year,all at twenty six years old.
Dude, he could have gone andhe could have gone to la and hen't
stayed in a small town in asmall market and brought it home. That's
huge because before this year, everybodyjust be like, oh, yeah,
(16:49):
Giannas, Yeah yeah, Greek freakgreat, all right, so who's in
the playoffs? You know, that'show they used to see it. But
now you've got to pay attention tothat, and the fact that they played
the song in the and the Hawkswere a contender. It takes away from
the super team idea, especially sinceyou know, if if you're gonna be
a panzee and that train like youused to and your body gives out during
(17:11):
the playoffs and you're big three,one of them goes down or one and
a half of them goes down,you're fucked. And remember didn't Yeah he
came into the series hurt. Didn'the miss the first game? No,
he played, Oh he's just hurt. Yeah, he hyper extended his knee
in game four of the last seriesagainst Atlanta and still got it done.
(17:33):
Did good at him. I ain'tnever seen a kid that young, that
heartful in a long, long time. When's the last time Milwaukee had any
major sports championships? Years ago?For the Bucks, if they ever,
if the Brewers ever won a WorldSeries in our lifetime now, and then
I guess, well, I meanhis green Bay count because they played Milwaukee
(17:55):
for a few years in the eighties. Well, I was gonna say they
count uh uh Aaron Rodgers now asin uh championship owner because he's part owner
of the Bucks. So I mean, fuck it, why not he's part
owner? Can't he just declare himself, well, fuck it? Green Bay
is close enough to to to Milwaukee. We're gonna call it the same,
(18:18):
you know. I mean, JesusChrist, how many years did the Pistons
playing in the Palace? Right?You say that someone from outside Detroit.
They just look at you like deerand headlights. They don't know what that
means. And it's like the Palaceis nowhere near Detroit, dude, Yeah,
so away from you. Oh mygod, how do you keep doing
that? You keep getting the mic, you your mouth and you know,
(18:41):
and we can't understand what you say. Oh, a headset by a headset.
Anyways, let's see what we startthis twenty six to only been five
years it's not about to do list. Well, what's not on someone's to
do list? Since I tried tofucking bring him up and and and and
(19:04):
transition smoothly and that didn't work.Is apparently playing for the Packers for fucking
Aaron Rodgers. Oh man, uhyeah. They offered him a contract make
him the highest paid player in theNFL, and he said rocks. So
yeah, that's that's my cue.I called it everybody. I told you,
(19:26):
Chris, he ain't going. He'slike one of our friends, mine
and richest friends at the back ofthe cock gar. I'm not going green
Bay. You're right, man,he's got enough money. Just we talked
about this in the chats. He'sgot he's got fuck you and fuck me
money, Like he's got enough moneyto be like, I will choose to
(19:48):
not be the highest paid player inthe league, because that's what that's what
was alleged is Green Bay said theywould make him the highest people don't even
at his position in the league.He's like, nope, like he is
mad they did something to him,like he is upset. Well, I
think good, well, now,I don't think anybody can deny this.
(20:11):
We don't know everything is going onbehind the scenes, and that's just all
there is to it, because ifwe did, this would make a lot
more fucking sense, because, yeah, him turning down that offer, and
on top of that, the reportscoming out of you know, the whatever,
the golf tournament that he just justdisipated in apparently have him saying,
(20:33):
oh, I could get used todoing this, like basically just like joking
about, like I could retire.I've got I've got my ring, I've
got my money, i got myI got my old lady. Well,
there's video of it out there.They asked him point blank, who's gonna
be and in, uh, quarterbackingfor Green Bay at a certain date,
which was the start of preseason,and he goes, I don't know,
(20:55):
We'll have to see. And hegoes they go, well, what about
opening day at Chicago? I don'tknow. I guess we'll see. It's
like out man, stop with youice mom or something. It's like I
told you in the chat, thoughthat much money, dude, for two
years, he's I could develop fuckingamnesia. Dude, he's already been highest
(21:18):
he'd like, he said, he'salready at this point, he's made enough
money, he's been highly paid fora while. And again remember coming into
the twenty twenty season, he resetthe whole market. He was the highest
played player. He's got enough moneynow to go fuck you, I guess,
But damn, that's a lot ofmoney, Chris for two years,
a lot of money. He canmake a call tomorrow. He could be
(21:41):
picking network. He'll be an analyston it. He's okay, he's good
on TV. He's easy on theeyes for the ladies, like he knows
it, like he'd have a TVjob tomorrow. Okay, Three things.
One, I think you also hostJeopardy whatever. I think you're right.
No, he's not leaving football.He's leaving the Packers. I think you're
(22:03):
right. He's going to the Saints. If he's any kind of smart,
that motherfuckers in the Saints uniform onopening day, number two stop super Bowl.
We have a bet. No,but it's contingent on him going to
the Saints. The reason I've gotthat I've read and watched on TV that
he doesn't want to go. Hewants total control over the roster and the
(22:27):
calls on the field, so thatthat that legitimizes my two points that I've
made, Like number One, heis saulty about that play because he wanted
to call something different and they madehim call something else. And Two,
what talent have they given him?He said, in my opinion, the
most talented player he has had hisentire run is Davante Adams. He got
(22:49):
to he got his ring with aragtag bunch people like Donald Driver and Jordy
Nelson. But what talent has hereally been given None. Green Bay has
been and will always be about defense, dude, and get the best starting
quarterback you could find to make dowith what they put on offense. That's
how they've been, That's how theywere with five, and that's how they
(23:11):
were with Rogers. Well, look, if he wants total control, basically
the GM from under center, he'sI don't know. If I don't know
if New Orleans is gonna be agood fit for him, I don't know
either, because he's Sean tom Brady, Sean Payton. First of all,
Tom Brady went down there, andwhether or not this is what's going on
(23:33):
behind the scenes, tom Brady knewto keep his mouth shut when his head
coach come out and said, I'mthe fucking head coach. I call the
fucking plays. Tom Brady's a player. If he fucks up, he gets
chewed out, just like everybody else. And the fucking discussion. Now,
that might not be what happens behindthe scenes, but that's how you got
to carry it in public. Ican promise you that's not how it happens
behind the scenes. Look at theTampa Bay roster. I'm not interested in
(23:56):
arguing fucking things we can never prove, So I'm not going to have this
conversation with you. My point thatwe're not getting derailed off of is what
team it is a competitor that's goingto give him total control from under center,
like he's a goddamn gm oh ohno, because they're not. I
(24:17):
was gonna say Houston, but nowa competitor. Yeah, Now, if
he thinks he's got another five yearsin him, he's gonna be Brady number
two, TB two or whatever.Okay, then I guess you could go
to a team that's maybe their windowis a season or two in the future.
But you're taking a huge risk ifyou're that team, and you're taking
a huge risk if you're Aaron Rodgers. Actually you're not taking much for a
(24:38):
huge risk. If Aaron Rodgers becauseif it doesn't work, you can just
fucking retire. Yeah, he's alreadyproven that that's that's his as in the
hole. He'll pull it if heneeds to. Well, again, it's
a twin win if you're Aaron Rodgers, because you're gonna get paid and then
yeah, if it doesn't work out, you retire because whoever signs you to
bringing the long money because you're AaronRodgers exactly. I mean, that's it,
(25:00):
and I'm with you one hundred percent. Yeah, he's pissed off about
behind the scenes shit, but I'mgonna be honest with you. If I'm
a general manager, if I'm anowner, well, first of all,
if I'm an owner, I putthe president of football operations and the general
manager in the position to run myfootball team. If I'm going and signing
a quarterback over my top two guys, heads, I'm upset in the apple
(25:26):
cart with how the fucking the systemworks, so it better be a fucking
slam dunk. But because of that, if I'm an owner, yeah,
I understand. Unless I'm a bottomtier team and we just have a ton
of money under cap to throw athim to put asses in the seats.
I don't know if i'd sign himbecause there's there's a lot of risks there
and I don't see much upside.Okay, let me ask you this,
(25:48):
though, Rich, if you're anowner of a team, do you take
president of football operations and a generalmanager, put them in a room with
Aaron Rodgers and say figure this shitout? Or do you do with green
Bay is trying to do and keepairing out of the front office and then
go here? You know this isa hand your dealt go play? Because
about if I'm an owner, Ithink I got to realize that my job
(26:11):
is to sign the checks and makesure the cash flows to the right people
and put the right people in thebest position to win. The reason I
say that is because we had thatsituation here in Detroit in twenty twelve with
the Tigers. Mike Ilitch went rightto fuck over everybody in the Tigers organization's
head and signed Prince Fielder. AndI think it's going to be one of
(26:34):
those things. If I'm not aroundand you do hear about it, and
you know, five or six yearsin the future, speak fondly of me,
would you please, because I swearyou're going to hear something in Detroit
sports lore. It's going to comeout that that was the beginning of the
end for that fucking window for theTigers to make a run in a championship,
(26:56):
because how long was it after thatDave Dombrowski was gone? Leland has
gone, I mean Ellis was stillalive. Leland retired, Dombrowski left.
Why would they do that? Thiswas their dream job according to them?
Is it probably because an owner wentover their head. You see what I'm
saying, Like you have to Theyare your fucking subordinates for a reason.
(27:18):
They are people that you put ina position to excel. If you completely
deny and take away their reason toexist in the system, the system is
going to break down. Right orwrong doesn't matter. We're beyond right or
wrong. This is and this isan AMORL situation. There's no judgment on
this. It's just you can't paypeople millions of dollars to do a job
(27:40):
and then go do their job becauseyou don't have faith in them. That's
not going to breed success, atleast in most of the examples. I
can look at what about you,Chris, You're more businessman anybody else on
this podcast. I think there wasthe case of all who let the old
man near the phone because Mike Elliswasn't exactly most loose itself near the end.
(28:00):
I think that was. I thinkthat was the beginning of the end
of I agree with everything you said, like, yeah, of that that
organization's window to win, because that'syeah, the old man was going a
little nutty. Well, I mean, dude, if you're supposed to have
faith, you believe someone has faithin you to do something, and then
(28:22):
they completely proved they have no faithin you by going behind your back and
doing an end around basically to removeyou from the equation. What am I
doing here? He wanted to winbad apparently because he threw he threw all
the money at Prince Fielder. Ohyeah, oh yeah, I mean that
Prince Fielder contract. We basically justslopped bad contracts and took Ian Kinsler and
(28:47):
milked the almost the last ounce ofbaseball we could get out of them before
send them off to fucking the Angels. But I mean, like that contract,
granted it's not to Miguel Cabrera contract, but Prince Fielder was never going
to be the player. Micgel Cabrerawas going to be you know, when
his career is over with Sorry,he just never was. And but I
mean that contract did haunt the Tigersfor a while because they were still paying
(29:10):
on it even after Kindler was gone. I mean, so it's like you
knows, as a general manager,I would be like, fuck you,
you don't trust me to do thisjob. I'm out of here. And
you can't tell me that if youlook at Leland and Dombrowski from the mid
nineties on where one win the otherwin, and I mean you can tell
me. And I mean I couldbe convinced obviously, but if I was
(29:33):
a bettanman, I put some moneythat behind the scenes, they were like,
yo, fuck mister Ellis for goingaround both of us like that,
Wow, we just fucking I'm retiring. Oh I'm walking Okay, well then
boom, let's do it. That'sexactly what happened. And so I we
end up with lll Avila and orAvola however you want to pronounce it,
and Brad awesomeus is our fucking manager. Yeah. Yeah, But the problem
(29:56):
is rich in baseball. It's noteven close to ball. I mean,
I mean, you would have tosay something like the Tigers catcher got traded
and JV got pissed off about itbecause that was his favorite catcher who knew
every sign he had and Sammy didn't. That's where Aaron Rodgers is at.
Aaron Rodgers wants control because he doesn'thave a line. He doesn't have great
(30:22):
talent around him to get him outof trouble. He's taken beatings because he
can't get rid of the ball.To anybody, I get that. The
problem is he's not a general manager, he's not a president of football operations,
and he's not an owner. Allhe can do is essentially, it
sounds like he wants to be likehe wants you know what this sounds like
to me. He wants to beHe wants to be in a Lebron type
(30:45):
situation. He wants to put theteam together that he wants to play with.
And yeah, maybe basketball you cando that, because there's what twelve
guys, thirteen guys, that's yourteam. Football quite a few more,
a little bit a little bit harder, a lot more moving parts to taking
into consideration. Look, I'm notsaying he'd be bad at the job.
I just don't know if i'd doit now if I'm a team, If
(31:07):
I'm a team that's like at mywits end, thinking that I've had windows
that I've never cashed in on,fucking I might roll the dice because that's
that's an all in bet. Tome, you have to go all in.
If you sign Aaron Rodgers for thenext two three years, I'm with
you. I don't think I wouldgive Aaron Rodgers full control, but I'd
want his input. Green Bay Packersmake moves without even talking to Aaron.
(31:33):
They go and get, you know, first round draft picks a quarterback and
I'm sitting here with nobody to throwto, nobody to block for me,
and I can handle ball off therunning back by committee. Come on,
man, no, I mean,if that's the case, then we have
a There's been a precedent that's beenset with Green Bay with Hall of Fame
(31:55):
quarterbacks in our lifetime. They didit too far? What makes just think
they were going to do it tohim? I I don't have much sympathy
for Aaron Rodgers in the situation.What's happening to you and green Bay is
exactly what happened with you and farand yeah, yeah, you weren't crying
then, So stop crying now,like pretty much, spare me your sense
(32:17):
of entitlement that because it's you,somehow you're special. You don't deserve for
your career to come to an end. Everybody's told they can't play in at
some point. Get used to it, bro, Yeah, I think it's
more Aaron just saying you're not doingit to me. Green Bay. Maybe
fucking victims of their own humorists andtheir own fucking their their own, their
(32:40):
own history. They might be believingtheir own press man. They might think
we're the fucking Packers. The goddamntrophy is named after our fucking former head
coach. We are the NFL.So the moves we make, we don't
have to explain to anybody, evenif it's Brett Favor Aaron Rodgers. And
if that's the case, good fuckingluck, man, because that's not the
(33:00):
athletes that are being produced and sentto the majors in the pros today.
They're not going to sit back andtake that shit. Now. It's just
not the it's not the era.And I think they're fucked because he ain't
playing, he ain't signing, heain't playing, he ain't showing you have
two options, pay him to sitor trade him and get what you can
(33:22):
for him right now. I meanthat's yeah. And if you trade him,
you got to find a team that'sgoing to a give you anything of
value for him and to give himwhat he's asking for. That could go
either way. Saints, see tome, I think a team, like
(33:43):
I'm just saying a team I meannot now, because it looks like they're
they're going into full on rebuild mode. But a team that was like maybe
a couple of years ago that Icould have seen him going to, would
be like Atlanta, someone who's like, man, we had we were at
a Super Bowl twenty eight to threebeginning of the fucking third quarter? What
the fdle of the third quarter?You know what I'm saying? Like seriously,
(34:05):
like this might be what we needto get over the home So here's
your money. I want to throwa curveball. I would love I mean
this fullheartedly. I would love tosee Aaron Rodgers go to the Cleveland Browns
right fucking he's got too much moneyinvested in Baker. Just take a seat
(34:30):
for a season ors three, watchhow this is done, stun and then
all that money's gonna pay off becauseyou get to see it first and learn
all the tricks of the trade fromthe great Aaron. Come on, and
now you've got and you got AaronRodgers, the Aaron Rodgers two times season
MVP, super Bowl winning quarterback throwingto that you know, fucking group of
(34:52):
receivers. Like I get, Iget what you're saying, and I get
where you're going with the with whereyou're trying to lead the conversation. I
just gotta say this really like kindof soured me on Aaron Rodgers man.
Like the more I think about this, where I'm like, fuck that guy,
bro, he fucking cried and boohooed and sat there with his fucking
(35:13):
puss on on draft day when hewhen he was falling like a fucking rock,
all right, and when green Baypicked him, he boo hooed and
cried about fucking sitting behind five.The minute five got of Green Bay,
we started hearing stories being elite fromRogers camp about how far didn't do anything
to help him, hardly talk tohim, didn't you give him any pointers,
(35:34):
didn't mentor him, Okay, andthat pissed you off? Right,
Yeah, So why are you doingit to somebody else. Now you know
you know how much of a dickyou thought that person was to do it
to you. Now you're doing itto somebody else. Yeah, because he
can't fuck him. That's not you. Okay, there might be a new
(36:00):
show coming up, Listeners, I'mjust gonna say this, and if there's
any premise of the new show,one of them is going to be is
going to be this. If youcan pick and choose what principles you apply
to what situation, you don't haveany principles, and Aaron Rodgers seems to
me to be a man with nofucking principles whose moral compass is just spinning.
(36:22):
Because this doesn't make any fucking sense. If he was so pissed,
they're fucking Farve didn't step up andhelp him, because Farv wasn't being a
team player and wasn't putting the teamthe team, the team first, then
he needs to do that with hisfucking with with with his replacement. It's
waiting in the wings. That's whata team first guy would do, right,
(36:45):
I mean, if he's that,if he's that wise and his football
iQue is at high, which Iabsolutely have no doubt it is why wouldn't
he want to share his knowledge Becauseit's all funding games until it's you rich.
You know that that's any generation.It's all fun and games until it's
you. You have all the bestadvice in the world for people that it
(37:07):
happens to. When it's you,it's like, what the fuck, And
all the best advice in the worlddoesn't matter because it's you. It's pure
speculation and just rumors. But healso seems to be very fucking open to
whatever the current pussy he's resting hisdick in tells them to do. And
if that's the case, there's areason that the woman you're fucking isn't a
(37:29):
pro athlete. Okay, don't listento their advice. I'm just saying,
if you were gay, if youwere gay, unless you're fucking the center,
don't listen to his advice. Okay, seriously, Like it doesn't matter.
Like these people aren't pro athletes,They're not going to give you advice.
Is going to help you in thisfucking endeavor. This is its own
(37:50):
ecosystem, its own universe, itsown world. These are outsiders trying to
come in apply situations that do notexist in this world. To this world,
they see even a whole different light. I mean that you're seeing as
a totally different person to her.You're not Aaron Rodgers quarterback and the Green
Bay packer. You're you're her buddy, her friend, her lover, Aaron
Rodgers my boyfriend. Shut up andrub my feet. So yeah, we'll
(38:15):
power to him, I get.I mean, all I can say is
this, as much as I don'treally care for what he's doing, and
he might be a fucking pussy whippiece of shit, just pussy, I
don't know. I don't. Idon't think the NFL is going to be
better without him in it. Istill think he can bring some fucking some
wins to a team and some excitementto the league. So it's gonna be
(38:37):
a loss if he sits it outfor the fans ultimately, I mean,
it's really who's gonna end up losing. So you know, Green Bay is
gonna be fine. Sorry, I'mnot really worried about them. I can't.
I can't sit here and cry.Oh you know why they dry their
eyes over the Aaron Rodgers situations onthe millions and millions of dollars they bring
in every year before they ever putan ass in the seat, you know.
(38:59):
So now I think Jordan loves goingto be just finding Green Bay with
without Aaron. Well, we'll see, I mean, because that's that's lightning
striking three times in a row overone, two, three, four decades.
Oh, I just I don't seehim making a mistake. If they
thought they made a mistake, theyhave time to correct the rich I'm still
(39:20):
there. What I'm saying is it'sis it possible? Absolutely, dude.
The Steelers have had three head coachessince the merger, all three of one
Super Bowls, all three have beenHall of Famers. Lightning can strike three
times in the same spot. I'mjust saying, that's very The Roodey family
knows what they're doing though, toowell. No, it's it's preparedness with
opportunity meeting together with a little bitof luck to fucking to to fill in
(39:45):
the gaps. That's what it is. And yeah, Green Bay might have
the formula. If you got twoof the three, you can you can
kind of manufactured luck, a littlebit of preparation meeting opportunity. I get
that, But do you know whoYou're one of the richest people in the
world. No, one who's successfulwants to admit that they that anybody but
(40:07):
them and their genius made them successful. It's the most It's It's like,
in public, successful people want tofucking thank everybody for helping them. But
you get them in private and thefirst thing they say is I did this.
This is my shit I did.And it's like, Okay, no
one helped you, no one,no one points you in the right direction.
(40:28):
Okay, cool, that's called block. I would just arguing some antics
at that point. But whatever,we look, man, the Packers are
going to pack all right. Uh. I can't see them draft and love
getting them in there, seeing themon the practice field, seeing them on
the books, playing with the teamfor a couple of years, and then
(40:51):
you know, not going, fuck, we fucked up. Knowing what they
got with Fire, knowing what theygot with Rogers, they know what to
look for obvious in a quarterback.So I think he's gonna be just fine.
I think the Packers gonna be justfine. Now, Rogers, dude,
I this is a battle of stupidityfor me. Rogers, You're stupid
(41:13):
for not accepting that amount of moneyalready got paid. I don't give a
flying fuck if he's fucking Elon Musk, Dude, that's a lot of fucking
money. Principer stupidips are allegedly kickingin whatever his pussy whipped kicking in.
Anyways, Packers, you're retarded fornot swallowing it and trading him and getting
a good bit for him. Youwere not going to get a bag of
(41:37):
footballs for Aaron Rodgers, for fuck'ssake, we got three number one draft
picks and a Super Bowl starting quarterbackfor Matt Stafford. Okay, hold on,
Matt Stafford hadn't put on a puppetshow in the court of public opinion,
basically saying you'll see Hitler and judasIs carry it throwing ice fucking balls
(41:58):
at each other before he'll ever playfor the fucking Packers again, or he'll
ever play for the Lions again.When Rogers came out and basically said,
no, hu Hunt, don't care, don't the biggest contract ever, doesn't
matter. He took all the fuckingtrade power and capital the fucking the Packers
had and flushed it down to toilet. Because other teams know he can be
(42:19):
had for whatever the fuck. Wewe can lowball him now because he ain't
gonna play for him. He fuckedthem by doing that, Oh, most
definitely, most definitely, And thePackers are sitting back and stand in the
ground saying, you want to continueto lowball, but you're still not getting
them, but you're not gonna sayI don't give a flying fuck. Well,
(42:39):
if that's the case, then Ihope they drafted real well because you
might be starting at quarterback way earlierthan you thought. Because if he sticks
to his guns and doesn't play,what can they do? Suspend him,
pull rrell Owens, send him homeso he can do a press conference from
his fucking driveway. Like, what'sgoing to happen? That's literally what's gonna
(43:00):
I mean, the only thing theycould do is just suspend him from all
TEA team activities and team facilities andjust tell him, don't even fucking come
on our property. You have anotheruh uh fuck? I just had his
name, Pittsburgh running back Bell.You have another Bell situation? Yeah the
problem? Okay, then just sitthere. I ain't trading here. A
(43:20):
Bell didn't have the hardware that Rogersdoes. You're right, you're right.
So even with the tanking of thetrade bait that Aaron did he's still worth
it. Fuck what he says?Well, I mean, look, dude,
once again bowling balls and apples.Running back is not a coveted position
in today's NFL anymore. Like youdraft a quarterback running back in the first
(43:42):
fucking round, you're your your fanbase is thinking you're drafting the second coming
of goddamn fucking Harry Sanders, EmmittSmith, Jim Brown. And you know
it only took at one like adecade ago. In fantasy football, all
you wanted was running backs, notanymore. What happened became the passer league.
That's because the rule changes. Therule changes, you can you can't
(44:06):
touch a receiver. Now, theywanted higher scoring games. They rigged the
rules to where the rules are infavor of the offense. Sporty Christoper Media
dot net. Christopher Media dot net. Sporty. See this is this is
the shift that irritates. Do peoplethink when they hear that? These people
(44:28):
are saying that just to hear themselvestalk. Especially Okay, if you're younger
and you haven't seen forty years ofa sport evolved. If you say,
I haven't been around to see itevolved, and I haven't watched enough of
the old sports. I really can'thave an informed opinion. I'll respect that,
but if you tell me emphatically thatno, no, it hasn't changed,
it's gotten harder for the offense toscore. Blah blah blah, you're
(44:50):
a fucking idiot big time. Likethis is sorry, not sorry, dude.
You can't touch a quarterback fuck receiverthan everything else. If you hit
a quarterback in the wrong spot whereit wouldn't hurt him more. If you
hit him there or not, they'llthrow a flag if you hit him from
the knees down or the shoulders upat all, anywhere, but right in
(45:14):
the mid abdomen flag roughing of thepasser. You know, a couple of
months ago, excuse me, acouple months ago, at a buddy's house
and his cousin comes over and hiscousin plays semi pro Hockey's like a I
guess in a like the low miners. What he has no aspert. He
doesn't think he's gonna be in theyou know, NHL one day, but
(45:35):
he gets paid to do it andhe loves doing it. And I'm like,
hey, man, good for you. And we're talking hockey, and
it's like Okay, this is ahockey player. I can talk in depth
hockey shit. And he's just ye, all these new guys and all these
young guys, and I'm just like, dude, I'll due respect. These
guys are a prima donnas. Thepussies, Like, how old are you
kid? And he's like twenty three. I'm like, dude, you have
(45:59):
no fucking idea. You don't evenremember barely remember hockey before the lockout of
the two thousands. And I showedhim a minute of clips of like best
goals of the nineties and he's like, oh my god, that's dude.
They committed like four or five penaltiesagainst the guy and he like they were
literally hanging on him, and hejust shrugged him off and still fucking deeked
(46:22):
out the goalie and backhand fucking featheredone in. Yes, these were warriors
with hands of gold. Y'all arejust prima donna's out there dancing around on
ice. Okay, I'm like,dude. I showed him a football clip
from like the ninth like the latenineties, like hardest Hits ninety nine or
(46:44):
whatever, and he was like,oh my god, dude, and I'm
like, bro, yeah, whenmen were men get his socks like like
like, and I'm like, bro, this is in your lifetime. You
were you were drawing breath outside ofyour mama's body when this happened. Ice,
(47:05):
Okay, did you just get thelatest Espian alert? Sometimes I just
can't resist the urds to poke thebear. Harba plans to beat rivals.
We're gonna do it or die trying. Jim Harba says, if Michigan's goals
to beat Ohio and Michigan State,uh huh, you're gonna die trying.
What do you think of that,rich You're gonna die trying about as much
(47:25):
as I think of the ghost turdwhen I sit down and take a shit
fart instead. I don't care.Okay, I don't have to wipe.
He ain't gonna win shit, it'sdude, Michigan is fine being a fucking
lower level team at this point untilthey get rid of him, until they
make some moves, and I'm sorry, until they address this fucking what thirty
(47:50):
six year fiasca long fiasco that wenton there. I really don't give the
fuck. I don't care, dude. It's just talk. You're moving there,
talking about talking do something. Butto win up in the column.
You hear Rich Rich checking out,I meant, get me wrong, there's
still my team and shit, uti, I mean, like I said,
there's there's one there's one thing thatcould get me to be like, I'll
(48:13):
never root for him again. I'vealready said it on this show. No
need to go over it, butI'm not gonna fucking I don't believe this
shit. I don't believe anybody onthat team is hyped up by that fucking
shit. I don't thinkbody there BroadwayJoe, Yeah, he ain't fucking He
just ain't Alpaccino. This ain't halftimeagainst the fucking Dallas Knights or whatever.
This ain't any given Sunday, Thisain't this ain't a movie. He ain't
(48:35):
gonna come out and shock the world. He is what he is. Okay,
look at his record. Look athis fucking record with Michigan. That's
what you can continue to expect.Don't expect for nothing more. If he
does beat Ohio State, in MichiganState and Penn State, everybody's not gonna
be like, oh yeah, there'sgonna be a whole lot of Yeah.
(48:57):
That's what she was six years ago. Be hope fucking beat Ohio State.
Alright, someone who didn't wear aheadset on the sideline beat Ohio State.
Someone who is a head coach.We played literally in just like placeholder status
only beat Ohio State and this greatfootball mind quarterback whisper fuck adding they still
(49:22):
don't know who the fucking quarterback is. Who's fucking you of them starting quarterback?
That's why we took the damn field. Now, if you want to
crown them, then crown their assam. Right, but they are we thought
they were, and we not aboutthe hook. God. I love that
fucking oh. I love that interview. There are very few football interviews that
(49:44):
I will ever refer to. Thatis one of those aviews. That's rich,
that's rich talking about Michigan football.What are you talking about? There's
there's one interview that tops that inmy book, playoffball head coach, No
playoffs, I'm a man, I'mfull No, No, that was close
in top five playoffs has been booteddown over the years. Now. It
(50:07):
was hello, you play to winthe game? Her? Hello? Herm
oh yes, like like explaining toan infant the point of sports. And
he's talking to a fucking beat writerwhose whole career is following him, and
he's like, do you understand thepoint gives the game. I just love
(50:30):
it because it's like, why didn'tyou go for the time? Because I
don't get paid to bring in fuckingtimes. I get paid to put I
don't get paid for but a bignumber after the second hash mark okay or
hyphen I get paid for the firstfucking greatest spot to have a big number.
(50:52):
He played to win the games,not being on the board and then
wanting it. It's early to bedancing the game, but Jesus Christ,
is this instant karma coming back onthe women's US soccer team. I was
speaking of playing to win the game. First. First of all, for
before we start this, I wouldlike to get this out of the way,
(51:14):
Thank you great society we have created. I thought that article you guys
sent was real. I had to. I read it, and it took
me a second for it took asecond for the joke to land. I
thought the article that you said.I thought that shit was real because that
in twenty twenty one, that soundsplausible that they were not going to score
any goals until racism is over.Yeah, I realized if I said it,
(51:40):
I'm like, you might think it'sreal. I did, for like,
for like two seconds, I thoughtthat shit was real. Yeah,
so as well as where we're howlong have we been saying, unregimented that
we didn't know the world was gonnaturn into a fucking onion article. Yeah,
I mean, now you can addBabylon be and hstlers and fucking hard
times and everything else to the fuckinglist because it's all fucking satire of the
(52:05):
reality we knew only ten short yearsago. But can we get back to
shooting on to people who've been shamingus for the last two years, telling
us they're the best at the sportin their world. Didn't you the first
game you lost, the very firstgame of the Olympics. You know,
I realize it's not the same team, but it's definitely components from the team
that has been telling us that they'rethe best in the world and they should
(52:27):
be compensated accordingly they used to be. That's true, and that's what I
was gonna say. I don't wantto be in that room if Mia Hamm
comes in, because her and herteammates would just it would look like a
movie part on a scarface. Ohbro, I've I've seen outtakes of the
You part one and two about whenthe old legends come back and the team's
(52:52):
losing h and the ship they couldn'tair, you know what I'm saying,
And like, dude, I don'tgive a fuck, women, gay,
non binary, whatever the fuck you'rethat far up in sports. You have
that petitive spirit. You're going inthere and you're letting them have it both
(53:12):
barrels. What the fuck are youdoing shitting all over the goddamn name and
fucking good fucking will. We boughttowards this team for decades with this portion,
and I could promise you, promiseyou Mia Hamm and her teammates,
because that's where it all blew up. That's the team that deserved compensation.
(53:36):
That's the teams that wanted nothing butrecognition. They are fucking names. Don't
sell tickets. We don't get compensated. You didn't need to have this conversation.
Give a flying fuck who was thereand who wasn't there. They were
going to be anybody that was onthe other steam because they didn't care.
Phil stands. You don't get paid. That's it works, well, I
mean, But dude, you're absolutelyright because most your average person who's not
(54:01):
a soccer fan, not a woman'ssoccer fan, not an Olympics fan.
You ask them about the women's soccerteam, they're talking about Brandy Chastain.
This ship was fucking twenty two yearsago, ripping off for fucking shirt after
scoring a penalty kick. Yeah,yeah, you I guarantee that there are
people who fucking still attribute that teamto the team that's being fielded today.
(54:25):
And I'd be very shocked if anybody'sstill on that team from the fucking ninety
nine team. Not even close.There you go, So, I mean,
but that, Hey, that fitsright in with with the the ethos
I guess of today, isn't it. Well, we just take credit for
what everyone else's already done, andwe could we say we're the first to
(54:45):
do it right, and because ourgeneration don't know shit about history, we
can get away with it. Andthey have, and now they've been exposed
to be you're not as good asall they're fucking yip yip yip yapping,
or you let all the bullshit thatyou yip yip yip yapped about distract you
from doing the job that you areactually fucking hired to do. You're not
(55:08):
hired to go out and fucking stirthe ship pot and make everybody else lick
the spoon, but you do it. You're not hired to be fucking to
try to start international incidents at theOlympics, because we don't know what would
happen if you did. Because inJapan, if you burn a flag,
not even a Japanese lag, justa flag, that's a fucking felony in
(55:30):
that country. You do it onan Olympic podium, who knows what the
fuck they'll do to you in Japan. Nothing we can do about it.
And here's the thing, but they'lldo all that. Okay, go out
there and fucking at least put ona fucking off, put up a fight.
Can't do that. That's asking toomuch. See, this is why
we need mental health days as athletes. This is why we don't need to
(55:52):
talk to the press. Oh nowyou don't want to talk to the press.
Now it's an issue. All Ican tell you is I have seen
interviews and clips with Mia Hamm offthe field. She is a beast.
She she is a little bitty fuckingbox of dynamite, and I cannot fathom
(56:14):
what would happen if her and rappingout Matt? I just couldn't. I
see in my head it soul lookslike the movie Scarface. She just walks
in friend and just blows them allthe bits. Man, are you fucking
I'm telling you there might not bean inn word or a racist sling,
(56:34):
but there are some words for womenthat women shouldn't call women that are going
to be used, mainly starting withthe C and a bee about dude.
I absolutely believe that. But seehere's the thing. Once again, radio
silence on this outside of a fewwebsites who are who exists solely to take
(56:54):
pot shots from the sidelines, Ihaven't really heard this fucking be covered,
like it's not even being brought up. Did all of this offseason horse shit
and all the nonsense that they fuckingthat they got dragged into, Yes,
because they did get dragged into someand then others jumped in head first on
their own, don't get me wrongon either either case. But did that
(57:17):
really fucking distract the team? Didit get them off of their fucking goal?
Maybe a little less, a littleless social justice, a little more
soccer practice, because let's be honest, anybody else would be having this conversation,
but we can't because that's sexist,and that's that's'stophobic, and we
can't have that conversation. You haveretreated. Like everybody else, we get
(57:37):
to talk about when you lose.That's that's pretty much what sports talk is.
Yeah, because guess what if there'sthirty two teams, thirty one of
them are gonna be grinding the blueswhen the last game comes to an end.
Yeah, that's how sports work.And your local team don't win every
game. So guess what you talkabout the losses too, Yes you do.
But I mean once again, andhere, this isn't just here's a
(57:59):
learning moment for everybody. This isn'tjust because it's the women's US soccer team
and they've been so vocal about certainissues, you know whatever. This is
just the media burying a story andjust not reporting on it to you,
just like you of m. Absolutely, dude, bro, make me a
(58:22):
promise at least on this show.If I'm ever that fucking blatant with my
hypocrisy, they both you just callme out on it on the air,
both barrels in my chest and justbe ruthless about it are afraid to call
each other out on anything. I'mjust saying, call us to call each
other out on a hypacristy on NBAall day. But I'm just saying,
(58:45):
like this is just to me,I'm just like, like the levels of
bullshit here, It's like I don'tget it. I don't understand it.
I do not understand because I supportthese people for shit they talk about.
They have nothing to do with sports. That means I can't critique there there
there the job they do on thefield makes no sense to me. Yeah,
(59:07):
period, and the story. I'venever understood that. I never understand
why someone would who someone fucks,what color their parents were or whatever the
fuck, or what language they istheir native tongue determines whether I can I
can criticize someone's job that they're beingpaid to do in public on the field
that I have to pay to watch. Yeah, oh yeah so yeah.
(59:29):
No. All I'm saying is ifrapping out ever kicks a soccer ball and
knocks pizza pizza or fucking hammered herout of my fucking hand and tells me
to get a Subway sandwich, bitchgonna go home with a mouthful of balls.
You can call me when you watchedHope Way, it's a meatball,
delicious meatball sub from Subway. Okay, there you go, get the plug
in, but they don't. Wedon't get money. Just be fucking huge
(59:52):
misunderstand I mean, Mack, BernieMack. There's some farst moving around in
this motherfucker will be a this understandingthat big man. I know, bust
some heads, absolutely, dude.And I like, if we're gonna fucking
really fucking cater to some corporate shit, at least I don't really eat it
(01:00:15):
Subway. I like Jersey Mikes.So if you want to give us some
corporate money, I'll shel for JerseyMikes as long as you keep making subs.
Like, dude, my ship fromJersey Mikes is the chicken fill that
is delicious. Have you I don'tknow if you guys have it up there,
but we have a place here calledFirehouse Subs. Do you guys have
(01:00:36):
that up there for sure? Yeah? Yeah? Now have you got McDonald's
and Kansas? Uh? Maybe Ihaven't. Yes, we got McDonalds Kansas.
But money that you put in tobuy those subs and shit goes to
help the local fire Department. Solet me guess, let me guess they're
like that. They're they're they're onthe fire with Chick fil a, right
like they're they're they're considered a conservativefood place because they support first responders.
(01:01:00):
Now, oh, but I did. This was funny as shit. This
is how retarded we are. Wewe can sink as a society. So
uh, Giannis there wins the championship, takes the trophy to Chick fil A,
walks in with the trophy apparently.I mean, when you're seven foot
one, three hundred pound black man, you kind of stand out as is.
(01:01:22):
But carry in the NBA trophy apparently, or the MVP trophy or whatever
the fuck he carried in. Hewas like, uh, hi, yeah,
I just won Sitney Milwaukee Championship.Can I is that good for like
fifty three nuggets from Chick fil A? Now let me get in in the
comments. You already know what's coming. I guess Twitter's mad yea. I
believe he went there. Don't supporttrands and people of color, and they
(01:01:47):
want us alve dead and he's horrible. I'll never ever root for him again.
Twitter is do the Does Twitter evenrealize how much it's just turning into
white noise to like people over likethirty five. I mean, it's definitely
been white noise to me for awhile. I mean, yeah, But
what's funny is he he wanted afifty piece because he dropped a fifty piece
(01:02:13):
at the last game of the finals. There's no there's no corporate they're all
franchise zoned, so I guarantee.The owner was like, yes, give
him fifty nuggets. Our restaurant willbe on national, will be worldwide news.
Jesus Christ, give him fifty nuggets. On top of that, whether
he dropped fifty or not, sevenfoot one, three hundred pounds, that's
(01:02:34):
probably a meal to him. Yeah, that's that's like, let's be honest.
That's his warm up. That's histhat's his warm up snack for before
his workout. But oh yeah,yeah. The comments section the first the
first opening salvo was fired by thefucking the woke flakes, and then the
maggots come in and they were like, oh, so when when showing cheto
(01:02:55):
Jesus cheeto, Jesus serves fast food, it's horrible, But when an NBA
champion eats a fast food it's greatand it's wonderful, and we got to
cover it because we're the liberal media, and I'm just like, I hate
everybody. Yeah, you're right,I just hate everybody. It's one of
(01:03:15):
those things where everybody sucks. Youjust do a reverse Chris. I might
even call it exhausted. Oh,just saying I might like a podcast called
Jen Exhausted that might be coming,you know, because from media with the
three of us, it's possible.Keep your ears to the grindstone. Listen.
(01:03:35):
You don't know how long it'll last, don't know if it'll even if
it'll even just if it'll be heremore than just once, but it'll be
funny. It's bound to be interesting, whether it's driving past a car wreck
or watching someone build an eighth Wonderof the World. Interesting, probably somewhere
in the middle, but probably closerto a train wreck. So hey,
(01:03:57):
I brought to I'm just excited forthat. We can like reference things now
and play them just because I've decidedYouTube can fuck off of YouTube lowering our
production value. Talking about it withAaron, he's like, Kevin Smith can't
put it on his own fucking YouTubechannel because yeah, dude, they've they've
gotten so ridiculous. They started withthe people on the fringes of YouTube,
(01:04:23):
and that was dipping their toe intothe water. And if people are like,
how is this were sports related?Because there's some fringe sports YouTube sites,
pages and stuff that I used tofollow that are like, we don't
post content because they take it down. It's either copyright strikes or some sort
of violation of terms of service.And they're updating terms of service retroactively for
(01:04:47):
five to ten years ago. Sothings that weren't a problem five ten years
ago that you posted, they cancome and suspend you for and remove your
account and demonetize you. Now yeah, fuck that. I'm gonna save twenty
bucks a month. Then just pullour YouTube channel down. Fuck it.
I'm absolutely with there you go,folks. This is this is YouTube started
(01:05:08):
solely people making content for their channel. Uh. Now they're so big they
fucking said, fuck it, wedon't care anymore. Chris, did you
get that? Did you get thatESPN update? Uh? Standby, I
didn't get any update, which oneforefeit on the table. Oh no,
(01:05:32):
they're just saying, no four fitsare on the table. They're saying,
did you read what says below?It? League Warrens teams that COVID nineteen
outbreaks among unvaccinated players could lead toforfeited games, loss of game checks.
Yeah, so they're forcing them toget vaccinated. Yes, good, though
we don't get sick. I can'tget behind it. And they can.
They're a private business, they're notthe government. They can do whatever the
(01:05:54):
fuck they want. I don't thinkso. Yes they can. They are
a privately how they are a privatelyowned company. They can do what.
Yes, yes they can, theyabsolutely can. I don't think so.
They're not the government. They don'thave to be the government. The government
can't. They have to be Americanand they are. Okay, you cannot
(01:06:17):
force me to put something in mybody to come to work. If you
can, if it's a privately heldcompany, absolutely you can. Government forces
you to kick Really you want thefucking school. So you got vaccinations before
kindergarten, you got vaccinations before highschool. I wasn't old enough to make
a choice. I thought we decided, Okay, we got in the show.
I thought we I thought we thoughtnavaxers were crazy before coronavirus. Now
(01:06:42):
they they've made a comeback. Idon't understand it. I'm not saying,
don't get vaccinated. My family's vaccinated. What I'm saying is that you can't
force them. A private business canforce you to do whatever the fuck they
want. Yes, they can.They are a privately run business. Yes,
here's the here's the Okay, I'msorry, I'll dip my toe in
real quick because I see what theproblem is, Earl. Yeah, get
(01:07:04):
over your use of the word force. They're not forcing you to do anything.
Do you want to work for us? You voluntarily go to work.
Well, you have to voluntarily putthis in your body to work here.
If you choose not to, thenyou're choosing not to work here. No
one's forcing you to do anything.We're not going to show up at your
door at gunpoint and force you totake this. Now, you can argue
(01:07:28):
that that's a bullshit, fucking that'sa bullshit line of logic they're using,
because ultimately they can. You canforce someone through threatening them with poverty and
homelessness to do something. But that'sa different argument. You're hung up on
the word force. Take the wordforce out of it. You're not forcing
anyone to do anything. They're givingyou a choice. You can starve or
(01:07:50):
you can do what we tell youto do. It's welcome to America.
