  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: From the Romo Domo, The Romo Domo if you will,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: if you've not heard the latest on this some new
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: developments from the DUI. They call it something else. There
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in Wisconsin they call it the OWI because they got
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to be different. Tony Romo, yes, newly released did see this? No,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. You ever heard about it? If
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you're blind, you can't see it. You haven't heard about it. Okay,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So calm down, Steven mean pauls it was a joke.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So newly released body cam footage from the cop shows
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo's full interaction with the long arm of the law,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the Milwaukee County deputy during that OWI situation. Most people
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: call DUI what they called that, so it wasn't much clearer.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Look this roadside stop, a nice beautiful chamber of commerce, Wisconsin,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Da Romo in the video, I'll try to describe it
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to you because you can't see it, and we'll just
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: tell you what happened. So in the video clip, which
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was let out from the cop cam, you see Romo
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: repeatedly denied that he was drinking. Denied he was drinking.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He told the officer he had consumed zero alcoholic drinks
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and question why he believed, you know, why do you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: think I'm intoxicated? What's going on now? During the stop,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Romo told the female officer he was driving from a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: golf course on his way to visit his grandparents who's
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: from Wisconsin. So he then very early on, he asked
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: if he could talk to his lawyer. In the middle
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: part of the interaction, can I speak to my lawyer?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I would like to speak to my lawyer, the officer
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: said he observed or she observed red glassy eyes. O
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: glassy eyes d like the demon and detected the odor
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of alcohol, that thick aroma of whiskey or gin or
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: bourbon or vodka right there, and that led to a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: standard eye, standard eyes field sobriety test on the side there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Now the video shows you conclude to see here Romo
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: struggling with portions of said sobriety test. At one point
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo said there were too many instructions and later
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: asking if he had passed said test, which it turns
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: out spoiler alert, spoiler alert, he didn't pay all right,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: discuss this is a big time broadcaster, Tony Romo, one
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of the highest paid guys out there, if not the highest,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: eighteen million dollars a year for Tony Romo. We're at CBS,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: get your money's worth over there. So the question what
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is your takeaway from the newly released cop bodycam footage
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of Tony Romo's arrest for intoxication wall pushing a vehicle
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: along the highway. So I've got bathtub, tennis, ball, and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: waffle house and we will combine all of these things
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: together and we're gonna have some brats and some frozen
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: custard a nice Wisconsin, and we'll have some cheese kurts too.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: We'll have some cheese curts as well. So a to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: begin this dietribe about the Tony Romo candid camera cop video.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Everyone seems to be hyperventilating over Romo's video, claiming, well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: it proves he was falling down drunk. Now, I have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: an unpopular opinion about this. I do. And tell me
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, if you've seen it, or you heard
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the audio, if you're blind and you've seen this year,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: because honestly, he seems often far loopier when he's calling
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the big Late TV game on a Sunday afternoon, a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: CBS NFL broadcast where you sometimes need a Rosetta stone
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to translate Romo into English in real time. So it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: like he was like, oh my god, he's drug. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: see he's drugk I see it right there, he's drug.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I see it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I don't, I don't know. It
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: seems like he seemed a little off. You've watched him
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: on television, you know, that's kind of how he operates there. Uh,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and so so that's it. Now. Critics are also saying
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that Romo was having problems hearing what was going on.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: He kept saying what what uh? Because he was in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: run bottomless Mimoso's at the golf course. I don't know
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to that though, like this somehow tells you that he
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: was completely sauced because he couldn't hear what the officer
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was saying. It was on the side of the road,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of cars going by. I have
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: spent my entire adult life doing talk radio. I have
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: worn headphones for hours a day, many hours a day,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for years and years and years and years and years.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: My hearing is absolutely shot. I go out do these
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: mallet meet and greets, I gotta lean in because I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: can barely hear because there's a lot of ambient noise. Right,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of ambient noise here. And do you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: think I'm schnockered all the time? No, I wish I was.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I just can't hear. That's it. So now
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I was watching this and the Romo cop video thing,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and I was expecting the cutaway shot to the car
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to the passenger seat and to see Jim Nance riding
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: shotgun next to Tony Romo to pop in there and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: say all right, let's bring in Gene Sterotor now our
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: CBS Duy Rules analyst and Gene walk us through this
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Romo sobriety test. Okay, thanks Jim, and then get into
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that way. Didn't didn't see Gene's sterotor there. I was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: looking for him. He didn't pop up for a review there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So then came this really strangely wholesome plot twist where
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we mentioned the eighteen million dollars a year CBS broadcaster
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: telling the cops that he was headed to his grandparents'
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: home unscripted. He just went off to see the babushka,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, in my head, and this is just in
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: my head here, it's my opinion. Romo was heading over there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I wanted to hang out with the babushka and have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: some bathtub moonshine, you know, just hang out there together
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with the grandparents and say, hey, what don't we it's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a weekend. I didn't do well in the golf tournament.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Let's just have some bathtub moonshine. Who says no, yeah, no, okay,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And grandma, can I get another play to paro geese?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Thank your grandma, Thank your grandma, thank you? All right,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: very good, there you go. Turns out the call on
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the field stands at this point, and that rights itself
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: for parody. I don't know if Saturday Night Live is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: still on, has been canceled. I don't know those type
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of shows. If there's any left, this just rights itself,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: rights itself. Meanwhile, we stay with Romo. We go now
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to the television fallout developing hot dot dot dot so Sibiz.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: CBS Sports is reportedly standing by their man, even though
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he's having trouble standing because he's schnockered. So supposedly they
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: are supporting their NFL lead analyst Tony Romo despite what
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: we just talked about here the Wisconsin driving while impaired,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: operating while intoxicated, erect and they are not planning to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: remove Romo from the number one broadcast team. According to
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the report, CBS executives claim this is an isolated lapse
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in judgment, not something that Warren's firing or a long
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: term emotion which is a body blow, body blow to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the people hate Tony Romo. This is like, oh no,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: he's not going to lose his job over this. That sucks.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They're all bummed out right, I should lose his job. Well,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: not going to happen, at least if you believe the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: early statements, of course I believe. Also didn't the Athletic
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: initially support Diana Rustini while she was out stooping around.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I believe they did. Anyway, CBS reportedly remains committed to Romo.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: They are locked in on some Tony Romo action there
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and they believe his value. His value is the lead
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: CBS analyst outweighs the current hullabaloo that is going on,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the online cyber backlash, and of course they recognize if
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Romo gets in trouble again, is a little too much,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: too many long island iced tea's or something like that,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's it could change the math on that. So the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: question this is clearly what let's call it what it is.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Should Tony Romo be worried by getting a vote of confidence,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the dreaded vote of confidence by CBS that he is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: still their man for the NFL coverage after he gets
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: popped for this rece So I'm shaking my head no
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: on this. This is the rare exception to the rule
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: generally speaking, when you get a vote of confidence, you
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: call your realtor. If you're gonna move, you get you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: get your your U haul people lined up there, you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hire some help help to move your stuff and all
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Romo, it would appear, is the pied piper
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of NFL broadcasting and a maestro at the CBS corporate
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: cocktail parties with advertisers. Man can he put on the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: charm charismatic at the happy hour in the Hamptons? Really
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: really good, that really really really good and just smiles,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: talks about his golf game and charms his way into
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: what appears to be a lot of wiggle room. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of wiggle room here. Now. Sure people love
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Ripping Romo's broadcast style. And if you've listened to the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: show a long time, when he played for the Cowboys
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: many years ago, Tony Romo on this show, we had
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the callers that pointed out I was a Romo sexual.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They said, my admiration for Tony Romo as a player
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: on the field, and that became a bit on the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: show for a number of years there. And I do
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: enjoy him as a broadcaster. I don't really watch that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: much of Romo. I usually have the sound down because
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: everyone annoys me, and I'm normally working on something else
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to get ready for the show on Sunday in the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: late TV windows, so I'm not really locked in on Romo.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I've listened a little bit here and there over the years. Obviously,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: originally we listened a lot to Tony, and I think
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he's fine. Is he the greatest broadcaster ever? Hell No,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: he's not the greatest broadcaster ever. I just the issue
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I believe a lot of people have with Romo is
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he just hasn't evolved. It's kind of like in baseball,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you call up the hot shot pitcher who throws one
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: hundred and four miles per hour, and you're like, oh
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: my god, we have the ace of aces. We have
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a guy that throws one hundred and four miles an hour,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: sweet baby Jesus. And then you realize he's got no
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: secondary pitch, no breaking pitch, no curveball. It's just one pitch.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's all the guy's got. And you're running
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the exact same playbook if you're you're watching Tony Romo.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: The recipe is the same. In the booth, it's it's
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: like Romo's a golden retriever. Think of him like a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: golden retriever. He's sitting there wagging his tail, and the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: CB has broadcast booth waiting for Jim Nance to throw
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a tennis ball to him so he can go play fetch.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And here we go, Jim, and there's the tennis ball. Okay,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: go get Okay, here we go, Jim. I got it,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I got it, Jim. Yeah. Like that. It's playground style
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: game analysis, very enthusiastic, very enthusiastic with the x's and o's,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the ramblin, the ramblin ramblin ramblin ramblin, the constant. Oh,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Jim, I don't know if they got
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the first down, Jim. You know, it's like, okay, thank you, Tony.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. And of course, every time a quarterback does
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: something good, all broadcasters, whether it's Chris collins Worth, Tony Romo,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: or Troy Aikman are or Tom Brady for that matter,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: are all required, all required to go hawk tua when
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: they see that. I had to get to get the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: knee pads out there and just go for it and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: just praise the quarter just celebrate whoever the quarterback is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: right there. And so, despite possibly driving sauced, we'll see
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: if there's a get out of jail free card for
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo. I'm sure he's got some good lawyers to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: help him out on that. Seems if you believe CBS,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they like him he's he's okay at the NFL's gonna
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: be here like real quick, Like we got the Hall
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of Fame game coming up real fast within the first
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: week there of the month of August. Right now, last
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: word to Tampa, we go where the Baker did it
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: or didn't do it? Quarterback Baker Mayfield reporting to Buccaneers
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: training camp. I know you're very, very concerned about people
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: showing up to work. Baker Mayfield will be there. He
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: did show up. The Buccaneers will begin there veteran work
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: later on on Wednesday. And the story here is that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Mayfield showed up and the practice begins on Wednesday, despite
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that the contract negotiations have reached impass. There
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: is no deal, no significant progress made, no progress real made,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: really made there for Baker Mayfield. He wanted a new
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: deal before training camp and has implied he will not
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: negotiate camp once camps begins. That's one of my favorite stories.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I can do like half an hour on that. The
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: person who says you have a deadline. If you don't
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: pay me by this date, I will not listen to you. Okay,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: So today's the deadline, apparently, So let's say the Buccaneers
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: call Baker Mayfield up on Saturdays. Hey, Baker, we want
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to make you the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take the deal. I told you. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: told you. I'm not negotiating anymore. I don't care. I'm
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: not taking the day out. Yeah, like, what a schmuck,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you know, come on, it's just bull crap. Just we'll
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: see if Baker sticks to that or not. I was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: reading that the market value the salary cap Nerds claim
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the market value for Baker Mayfield currently sits at fifty
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: three point six million dollars, which would make him one
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of the highest ed quarterbacks in the NFL. He currently
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: makes thirty three point three million, which is half the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Sign of the Devil. And that's where he's at now. Yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the insiders say that Baker Mayfield. Here we go. This
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: is the money part of the story. The reporting indicates
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield feels disrespected with his salary in Tampa. So
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the question you think that the Buccaneers should be concerned here?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You think they are concerned the Buccaneers that Baker Mayfield
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: feels the disrespect card being played his direction over his
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: contractual agreement. So on this one. You just kind of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: roll your eyes, right, You're like, dude, you're making thirty
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: three million dollars. If that's disrespect, can we all be disrespected?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Can we every man, woman, and child be disrespected for
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: thirty three point three million dollars? And the other thing
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: about is Baker feeling disrespected? If that's true, and I
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: don't think it's not true, I believe it to be true.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Is the greatest thing that could happen to the Buccaneers,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Like you're doing your happy dance if you're Todd Bowles,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you're doing the happ beat dance who you are? Because
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that puts him Baker, may I feel right back in
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: his natural habitat? Now what is his natural Habitat's he's
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: got this psychological waffle house where he orders extra chips
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: for his shoulder. Well, they don't know this for the pancakes,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: well the waffle No, No, I want them from my shoulder.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: So you want extra chips on your shoulder? Yes, I do, Yes,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I do. I would like those on my shoulder. And
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: he treats the lack of respect, the disrespect like protein powder.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It fuels him, right, mix it up, shake it, chug it,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: go out there and play Baker. Go do your thing.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Knock it out of the park. There, Baker the modern
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Dator's used to be his comedian way long ago, long dead,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: named Rodney Dangerfield. Get no respect, I got no respect, right,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that's Baker Mayfield. He needs a villain. Baker Mayfield needs
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a boogeyman. He does, and someone that you know. He
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: has to have somebody yell at while he's getting up
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in the morning, putting water on his face. He's gotta
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: have somebody to scream at when he looks in the mirror. Now,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the cold reality is that Baker Mayfield is the sixteenth
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback in the NFL because he's a that's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: where he should be. He's mediocre. I don't know anyone
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: that disagrees with that. Maybe his parents disagree, his wife
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: or something like that. But if you're objective about Baker Mayfield,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: he's in middle of the pack quarterback. He's right out
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of central cat middle of the pack. And it's not
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: disrespect to Baker Mayfield. That's basic malor math is all
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that is. He belongs right where he is. He's a
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: mid tier quarterback, and that's where you stand. A mid
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: tier Quarterback Condo Complex, and his roommates are Sam Donnell,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: who still stinks, and Aaron Rodgers. Now I did look
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: at the Yelp review on that, and they have a
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: really nice pool at the Quarterback Condo Complex, the mid
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: tier Quarterback Condo Complex. They have no concierge though unfortunately
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: so no concierge and that's it. And the golf course
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: is kind of a pitch and putt, so that's a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: bit of a problem to guys complain about that.

  Speaker 5: wherever you get your podcasts from the Bay Area where
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan say, head coach in the NFL. Kyle Shanahan
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: has gone on the record his first public comments, first
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: public comments since the accident, which was much more than
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: a fender bender from Kyle Shanahan. He publicly took responsibility
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: for the accident that happened over two weeks ago. Although
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: we didn't find out about it till the.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Two few days ago July fourteenth, big car accident there
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: near the house of Kyle Shanahan, and the initial reports,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: according to Shanahan, were incorrect. The cops got it wrong.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Say what Yeah, they blamed the other driver originally, and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: now Shanahan publicly took responsibility accountability for the accident, saying
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the initial reports incorrectly suggested that the other driver was
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: at fault. He said, those reports were wrong. So all
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: this or not, perhaps you you missed it. And Shanahan's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: alibi to explain what happened? Who goofed? I've got to know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: The forty nine er coach claims that he was driving
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: along La La La La, La La La La. His
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: phone fell in between the seats in his car. Hate
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: when that happens. That's a real biach. When that he
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: ever had that appen. He's driving along the phone, Oh
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: my god, what a pain in the ass that is,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: he says. He claimed he just briefly took his eyes
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: off the road. Shanahan and Kubboom there was an accident
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: as he went to retrieve said smartphone, causing his vehicle
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to drift onto oncoming traffic, otherwise known as a head
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: on collision. I believe that's the colloquial term for what
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you do when you drift into oncoming traffic. Shanahan said, quote,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it was my fault. He added on that he wanted
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: to correct the record because he said he felt terrible.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Is his conscience got to him, if you believe him.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: The other driver had been blamed. Shanahan emphasizing that his
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: biggest concern was for the twenty one year old the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: female who was in the other vehicle driving her car
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: when she got surprise, surprise surprise, said he was relieved
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Shannan she was not seriously hurt. Shanahan suffered a big
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: time injuries. It looked somewhat okay. Didn't looked like he
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: was all messed up in the video clip that I
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: saw of him talking. The injuries from the accident include
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a severe concussion, broken ribs, and a broken nose, broken hand,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: facial lacerations I believe from flying glass needed more than
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: forty stitches. Kyle Shanahan, the head coach there of the
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers that's known as snap, crackle, and pop,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and he admitted the concussion. I guess he's in the protocol,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: a concussion protocol. The concussion the toughest part, the toughest
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: part of all this the recovery for the coach there
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: lingering sensitivity to light, a noise, preventing him from fully
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: resuming his responsibilities and his duties as the coach there
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. So that is a good
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question for the
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: esteem panel. Here's the question, how does forty nine Ers
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: coach Kyle Shanahan taking the blame for the car accident
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: change the storyline? How does it change things? So I've
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: got DC comics, Betty Crocker and a vintage Dale Earnhardt
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Nascar firesuit, three things that have never been put together,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: never ever been put together, and here we are going
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to put them together. So we always start with number one.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: The plot thickens. Do uh So kashan In taking the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: blame taking away right, doesn't clean up that. There's a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: spill somehow a couple of cans of tuna fish. They
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: fell off the top shelf and they opened up, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the air conditioning broke and it got very hot, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: so it smells like rotting tuna fish. For some reason
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and any Actually, if you combine that with the other
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: stuff on the floor, it kind of smells like the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: porta Potti on a Sunday after a full weekend of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a music festival in summertime, music fest like Coachella or
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: something like that. You know what I'm saying. You got
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: me on that, all right? Uh? And and just between
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you and me, just between you and me here as
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: we we app here. If this was an honest mistake,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: people make mistakes, Humans are fallible. If it was an
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: honest mistake, why did the story he needed an eleven
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: day media blackout? Can someone explain that to me? Seriously?
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: If this is just this and Chan had said I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: did it, I did it, I did it. I'm the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: bad guy, That's what he said, essentially, That's how I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: heard it. So if that's the case, why did the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers and the NFL and all the beat
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: writers get in cahoots here and embargo the story and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: they had a media blackout on Uh, It's just something
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that happens all the time. There's accidents all the time.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Yet on this one, there was coordinated silence and the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: hand picked, hand picked Saturday Saturday dump the news dump.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Why would you do that unless you were really trying
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: to hide something? So what is there to hide if
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: this is the real story which makes you believe there's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: something else going on that we're not getting the whole store,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: we're getting part of the story. And why the one
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: eighty see, I don't we don't want Shanahan's original position was,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: but he contradicted the cops like he had what a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: sweetheart deal? The niners buried the story for eleven days.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: The cops blamed the woman who was in the other car,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and turns out, you know, Shannon now comes out of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: it and says, well, that was actually me. I'm the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: guy that did and so he got help here and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: then he flipped on the police report like what's up
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: with that?
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: And so reality got edited and it's very od I mean,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: the black bag story if you will, of what happened,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: and they drove it under Levi's stadium there and full
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: court interference, radio silence, all that stuff until the narrative
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: was locked in. And so you're like, well what now
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: now that Shanahan said, Hey, I was the bad driver.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I was the one that was next thing while he
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: was driving and dropped the phone, and then I had
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to pick up the phone. And I went to pick
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: up the phone because you know, I was getting that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: message from Diana Russini and I had to see what
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: she was saying because she she sent just some really
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: good messages. And that was that. So in terms of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the what now, this is what's known as a d
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: C comics spinoff. They remember the Justice League back in
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the day, very popular years ago, the Justice League DC Comics.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: So this is a spinoff. It's called the Litigation League.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: To spin off, not as much fun as the Justice League.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: The Litigation League, though, is assembling right now. So forget
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Aquaman or the Flash or Wonder Woman. In this one.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You've got Larry H. Parker, Jacob m Ronnie and Superwoman,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: super Lawyer. That's what you have right there. They're forming
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the Litigation League as we speak. And Sweet James is
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: already in the shadows Cape, fluttering whispering, who hurts you?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Who hurt you? Yes? And so Shan Henney and he
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: admitted he was the party at Faultier. So now prepare
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for the law brothers to enter the chat and there
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: will be at least one or two lawsuits. I would
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: imagine right up the wazoo, right up the old wazoo
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan. So good luck on that there those
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: billboard lawyers, they are in the air everywhere all right now,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: paestdue to Vegas, we got quarterback news, quarterback news out
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: of lost wages them out of dayline Henderson, where Raiders
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: coach Clint Kubiak has dotted the i's and crossed the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: t's the announcement. He made it official. The Raiders have
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: named Kirk Cousins as their Q beat number one, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: so it's his job to lose no training camp battle Royale.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Cousins has the job. He has the job. We have
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: a little audio here. This is the I believe the
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: head coach, Clint Kubiek here commenting on the Raiders quarterback situation.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Take aless.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: There's battles everywhere on the roster. So it's important for
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: me to be fair of the players. Is to put
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: the best player out there when we go out to
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: practice tomorrow. Kirk Cousins is the starting quarterback. He's the guy,
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: and he's gonna get a ton of reps and he
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: deserves them because he's played really good football. But I
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: want Fernando and I want Aiden to push him.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is unbelievably embarrassing. I mean, my god, just
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: when you thought the Raiders couldn't get any more embarrassing,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: here we are boys. This is so good. If you're
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a Raider hater, Holy crap, I mean my god, what
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: have they done? What have they done? Despite being the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the draft. Fernando Mendoza is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: backup boy, is what he is? All right? So question
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: what is the message? What's the message the Raiders are
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: sending by handing the keys to the franchise to Kirk
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Cousins over Fernando Mendoza. So it turns out that Las
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Vegas did not get as we anticipated, a true number
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: one pick in the twenty twenty six NFL Draft. They
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: did not, And if you think they did, you're wrong.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to draft the number one pick. Who is
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: your north Star, not a Minnesota north Star. They don't
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: exist anymore. They moved to Texas. They're now just the Stars.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: But you're not supposed to get clipboard Jesus on the
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: sidelines walking around or sitting on the bench getting hemorrhoids here,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So elite and tell me if I'm wrong on this
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: elite first overall picks. If you're the top pick in
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the draft, if you're you're supposed to be a plug
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and play guy, is that correct? Okay, you agree? Thank
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: you for agreeing. Thank you for that. I do appreciate
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: your agreeing. Think of it like Betty Crocker, instant mashed potatoes.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Just add water and you have mashed potatoes. That is
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: what the top pick of the draft is supposed to
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: be coming in as a quarterback. But in Vegas, in
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Lost Wages, Nevada, they think Mendoza is a Church of
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Latter Day Saints, plug in prey quarterback, and they don't
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: want to pray right now, so they're gonna have him
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines there. And he's not powdered mashed potatoes.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: He's more like powdered cement. Forget the potatoes, just powdered
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: cement there, and so undercooked. How undercooked is he? You
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: can still if you listen closely, you can kind of
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: hear him like mooing a little bit, move so you
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: could I could kind of faintly make it out a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: little bit. So they're choosing cousins and Koubiak, as you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: heard in the SoundBite there saying how good he's playing,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: which seems like something you would say if you were
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a Pinocchio and you want your nose to grow. You
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: have a guy in Kirk Cousins who by any measurement,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: has been terrible for the last three years. His last
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: year in Minnesota and his time in Atlanta was not good.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: They're calling him a bridge quarterback. That's funny. It's like
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a nursery rhyme I heard when I was a kid,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: London bridges falling down, down down, London bridges falling down. Yeah,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: that's Kirk Cousins. He's a London bridge, is what he
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: is at this particular point. And yeah, Cousins is a
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: nice guy all accounts. Nobody says anything bad about Kirk Cousins.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: He's a good dude.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: He seems like he's kind of a regular guy, as
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: much as you can be when you make a ridiculous
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: amount of money and all that stuff. So congratulations on that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Just remember though Atlanta paid seventy million dollars for this guy,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: that's how bad he was. They don't even have a
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: quarterback in Atlanta. They signed slop like to a tongue
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: of byloa, and they're like, hey, this guy sucks so much,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: we gotta pay him seventy million to get out of here. Okay, done, well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: cut a check for seventy million dollars. And as far
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: as him being a nice guy, you know the guy
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: at the grocery store that packs the bag, very nice guy,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: good dude. The guy that packs the groceries at the
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: grocery store, all right, the grocery bagger. However, I don't
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: know that that person's a quarterback one in the NFL.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. So the fact that they sign
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: cousins are now starting cousins is a demerit. Obviously. For
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, it's the equivalent of choosing dial up internet. Well,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: you've got high speed, you've got that five G high
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: speed thing of magic. No, no, no, I want to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: dial up internet from nineteen ninety nine is what I want.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: That's what I need in my life. Okay, why not,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: let's do it all right now? Final point to college football.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: We go Columbus, Ohio, the Buckeyes making news Ohio State
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: signing what they're describing as a landmark agreement for a patch.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: We in here talking about a patch, not practice, not practice,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: We in here talking about a patch. So it's a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: jersey patch. You know these all the rage now, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: put that advertisement right there on the uniform. And that's
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: how we do it. There, the Jersey patch sponsorship with
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: JP Morgan Chase, Shout out Wall Street. Yes, JP Morgan
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Chase the uniform for all thirty six varsity sports beginning
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: this upcoming season. And the deal, we are told the
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: deal is worth how much about seventeen million, seventeen million
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: per year, making it the largest disclosed jersey patch deal
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: in college athletics. The partnership extends beyond the uniform branding.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: The players will benefit from nil that's pay to play,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: will get some nil name image likeness money there out
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of JP Morgan Chase. You got that going. And while
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the money is obviously great, the money, the money is wonderful.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Many of the purists out there are pounding the table
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: and banging on pots and pans and very upset. They're
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: very upset here that the corporate branding is going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: tear away the Buckey's tradition, the uniform and really this
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: is a football thing. Can we be honest about that
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: football thing? That this is a change, right, there's always
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: had just a logo only, and that the brand is
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the Buckeye brand. You're not out there playing for JP
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Chase Morgan or JP Morgan Chase. Rather, you're out there
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: playing for the buck Eyes, the University of Ohio State, University,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So the question is do you have
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: a message. Do you have a message for the Ohio
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: State old timers upset with the advertising patch sullying the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Buckeye's uniform? All right, so I do again. This is
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: mostly about football. Every once in a while. Ohio State
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: don't have a good basketball team. Nobody cares about the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: other Sportslet's be honest here, all right. That's gonna be
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: adult students. Oh everyone cares about the soccer team and
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: the volleyball team. No they don't. That's friends and family.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: It's Ohio State football, that's it. Occasionally basketball and that's all.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: So being offended though about a jersey patch in twenty
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: twenty six, buddy, welcome to planet Earth. Where have you been?
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: This is where the money locomotive has always been headed
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: down the tracks, and it's the old boiling frog. We
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: tried to warn you. You people didn't listen. We tried
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to warn you. The Boiling Frog. It starts out with
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: a little patch and then it goes a little further
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: up and where the scarlet and gray onesie. But you've
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: got the logo there from Walmart on it, and you're
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: on your way, and there you go. Today it's one patch,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: and then a year from now, well we can double
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: our money, double our fun. Let's get another patch. Okay,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: that sounds good. We'll get another patch. Why not. Okay,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: we've gotten out two patches, and keep going and going
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and going and going, and eventually, eventually the buck eyes
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: when they take the field will look like a vintage
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Dale Earnhardt NASCAR fire suit with a helmet attached. And
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: you've got a laundry detertion patch over there. You got
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: the alcohol over here. You got a little bit of that,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that. Like future generations are going
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: to go on to YouTube or whatever replaces YouTube someday
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: and they're going to watch Archie Griffin highlights and they're
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: gonna ask, wait, mom and dad, they played without a
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: bank sponsor. They didn't even have a crypto exchange patch
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: on it. And there was no gambling patch. What is that?
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Why didn't they have a fast food logo? I don't understand,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you know that whole thing. What is that in the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Stone Age? With these uniforms without patches on it? Now?
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: College football stopped being amateur a long long time ago. Hell,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: John Wooden was playing paying players at UCLA back in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the day. So it's always been semi pro and basketball,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and mostly in football. Mostly in football. They just add
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the marching band. They can dot the I. How about
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: instead of dotting the I, they write the money sign
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the Ohio State marching Band. That would be cool, right.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: They can do the logo at halftime of JP Morgan
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Chase instead of dotting the I. Who says no to that?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: No?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, not allowed? Fair enough, not allowed? I got you.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: But theyon's getting paid. Players are getting paid. Coaches are
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: getting eight figure salaries if they're good. You're paying one
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty dollars at the team shop for the
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: replica jersey with the ad already on it. Now, if
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you want tradition, and you say, hey, I'm a traditionalist, maller,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: I want tradition. Tradition is complaining about something new every season,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: so congratulations, you're keeping that tradition alive, and well you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: are and pretending this is like a shocking betrayal. Oh,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: it's such a betrayal. It's like going to Disneyland being shocked.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: They charge you eighteen dollars for a truro or whatever.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: They it's ridiculous, fifteen dollars for a corn dog. It's like,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: come on, Ohio State uniforms are not being sully. I
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: don't believe they're being sullied. They're simply joining every other
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: surface in America that can be monetized, and so they're
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: getting in on it, and it's like it's the everyone
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: else is doing it. They're just making more money.
• 39:42

  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. Fuck
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: it's mallard. How about that? To the third degree? This
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: is one big Ben gets crill open.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Matthew Stafford told reporters this week that while the Rams
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: have a high ceiling, he wants to focus on raising
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: their floor. Ben, what do you think the floor is
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: for the Rams?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Well, the floor would be to make the playoffs and
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: lose in the wild card round. That would be the bottom.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I just as long as you never say what about
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the hell because that's with every team. But the floor
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: would be they get in and they lose in the
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: first weekend in the NFL playoffs, and they don't end
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: up winning the division. They're a wildcard team and it's
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: a mess.
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: Next, speaking of floors, the Arizona Cardinals are currently the
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: betting favorites to have the fewest wins in the NFL
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: next season at plus two fifty. Way to Go Birds, Ben,
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: Do you think the Cardinals will be the league worst
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: this season?
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: But they're going for it. They signed Jacoby Brissett to
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: make sure that he plays one to eleven last year,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: So you give a guy that goes one to eleven
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: a raise. Way to go Arizona Cardinals. It does not
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: appear their coach knows what he's doing. They have about
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: three or four good players and a bunch of slop
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: on the roster. Those are all the ingredients to end
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: up with the top pick and the deft they're trying
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: to get arch Manning. Wait until they find out arch
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Manning doesn't want to play in Arizona.
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: Next, Caleb Williams said this week that the Bears offense
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: will be really fun to watch and be more entertaining
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: than last year.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Uh huh do you think that will come to pass? Well, No,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: because the Packer fans and the Viking fans and the
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Lions fans aren't going to enjoy watching the Bears offense.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: And Caleb Williams is it's wild because there are people
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that think he's great, and there's a lot of people
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that believe Caleb Williams is overrated and he's not that good.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: It's a mixed bag on him. This is a big
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: turning point. The Bears overachieved last year, getting to where
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: they got in the playoffs and all that and losing
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: to the Rams, and so usually when you overachieve one year,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: there's a regression to the mean and then you come
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: crashing back down to earth. So we'll see. I wouldn't
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: bet on the Bears doing very much. How do we
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: doubt you pass? The sen is a way put it
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: on the chicken.

  Speaker 1: right to the questions what do you want? Get to it?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Get to the questions the woman wants. All right, we'll
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: get to the questions here we go. See here, Alf says, Lorena,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: my friend is very shy and has unhealthy obsessions with
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: a former Fox Sports radio personality who does volleyball commentary
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: and Pokemon. Are these things that will keep him from
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: finding his true love? Yes?
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: If you have unrealistic relationship ideas in your head that
• 43:19
  Speaker 8: are blocking you from moving forward, you got to release
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: those that you can go and love someone else who's
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: actually available to be loved.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Alf? And that these things might
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: be related. Fergdog says, I know a girl who who's
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: forced to work twenty four to seven is their hope
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: she will find ever find love again.
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: You know, it's really hard to find love when you
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: work so much at really horrible working hours.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying it's hard to go on
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: a movie date when you're sleeping.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Eh, although you do know if somebody really likes you,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: they'll work with you. You know, that'll that'll happen. JT.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: The Wingman writes in on Queen of Hearts with the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Rain and says what kind of dessert is the best?
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: After Dziak, he's in a photo of clams, and clams.
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: Aren't a dessert exactly, And I don't think those are
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: not for disiak. It's supposed to be oysters, but.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Oh I think I think, well, yeah, have you ever seen.
• 44:14
  Speaker 8: Those videos where it's like a blind person sitting in
• 44:17
  Speaker 8: a in a like a food court and they're licking
• 44:20
  Speaker 8: in ice cream and they're looking at someone while they're
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: doing it, but they don't realize that they're doing that,
• 44:25
  Speaker 8: and that person thinks they're flirting with them. So that idea,
• 44:28
  Speaker 8: you know, it's like you could lick your ice cream
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: really slow. I feel like that could be a good one.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, ice cream, all right? Shane and Moyes says,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: what music do you listen to in the car with
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: your daughter when you're versus when you're in the car alone.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: I actually prefer to listen to audiobooks, which is in
• 44:46
  Speaker 8: the car with me. We have a couple we're working
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: through right now. She hates my music, gotcha? Yeah, yeah,
• 44:51
  Speaker 8: she listens really weird stuff.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Will t writes in from Parts on It, He says,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: what's a good approach to ask a co worker out
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: when fraternizing in the workplace is against company policy?
• 45:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, people highly suggest not to do that,
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: but I think where else are you supposed to meet people?
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens all the time.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: It happens all the time. Ye make sure it's consensual.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Trying not to stoop at work?
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Yea too.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Definitely, it's difficult there. Mike Michael says on the Queen
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: of Parts Lorena, my girlfriend will not wear yellow under
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: any circumstances because she claims it does not make her
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: look good. Do other women have this issue with the
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: color of clothing and to what extent?
• 45:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, my gosh, yes, color theory is a real thing.
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: They're actually doing parties now where a girl will bring
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: a whole different like a bunch of different colors and
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: put them around your neck to see which colors look
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: best on you. So if you don't look good and yellow,
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: stay away from it. Some people look really bad in
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: peach and pale pink, so they stay away from those.
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: It all depends on your tone and complexion, so definitely
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: listen to your lady. If she says she doesn't like it,
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: don't buy. She's never gonna wear it.
