  Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? Welcome in, Happy Friday to you.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: We made it, made it. The weekend is right around
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the corner. You can smell it. You can almost reach it,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: reaching out right now, kind of like a pro wrestler
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: on the turnbuckle, like tag me in, tag me in weekend,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and the weekend is reaching it. Just tagged me in.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, tirex has been helping customers find
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Shipped fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tirerac dot com.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be. Okay, I promise to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: make this painless, cause it's funny. You can get a sense,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you just feel it. Whether it's the tweets,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's the calls. People will call in and say I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: can't do any more lebron. It's almost like someone has
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just eaten three pizzas and they're like, I can't do
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: another slice of pizza right now, and you're like, but
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it's different pizza. It's the pizza that you haven't tried before,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and they're some of them are just like really no
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: more so I sometimes have a habit of doing that,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: where you know, I still I'll think of something that
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I think is pretty good. I think it's interesting. But
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: some people have just had their fill. So I'll make
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this as painless as possible. I'll make this quick and painless.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But something that comes to mind where a lot of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: people are just they're over this whole lebron watch thing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's just like, make a decision already. Good lord man,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it's been over three weeks now and we still don't
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: know where you're playing basketball. What's the deal? That seems
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to be the popular opinion here. Me personally, I really
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: don't care. I don't I think that it's something that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is Agent Rich Paul said the other day. He said
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: this on the Pat mcafew show.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: This is a very important choice for him, and you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: cannot rush it. I think he's earned it right not
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to be rushed.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I actually agree with that. I think he's earned the
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: right not to be rushed either. Now, the thing is,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: there's a difference between not being rushed and taking your
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: sweet time, trying to get as much pub trying to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: get as much attention as possible. So that's where it
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: becomes a little bit different over here, But in terms
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of earning the right not to be rushed, he's earned it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I really don't have an issue with him dragging this
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: thing out. Doesn't bother me personally. I think the reaction
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to it is entertaining. I don't get you know, ticked
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: off about it or anything like that. It's uh. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: just think the whole thing is just a game. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: will say this. I think that for with Lebron, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he said this a long time ago, that he's chasing
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the ghost, that ghost in Chicago. He's trying to be
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: better than Jordan. He's made it very well known he
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: wants to go down as the greatest basketball player of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: all time. But what's funny to me is he went
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: about this so much differently than Jordan. Where I'm not
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: comparing them and who's number one on the goat list,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: nothing like that. But just think about when Jordan returned
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: from retirement. This is back in the facts day and age.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: There's two words, I'm back. That's it. That's it. Short
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: sweet to the point he was. I know it's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: different day and age. There's no social media. It's different. Now,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you're not doing the whole teasing thing. It's not a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: trendy thing. But Michael Jordan was world famous, Okay, not
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just famous in this country, world famous. If he wanted
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to drag it out, if he wanted to do clues
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and Easter eggs and tease it, he could have done it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He didn't. He was just like, I'm back, and it's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: just funny that Lebron has gone the complete opposite direction
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and it hasn't worked. If you go back to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: decision that was universally shot down, people just like not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: feel in that. It was just Lebron was. He had
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: it in his head where it's like, ah, I'm gonna
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: do this made for TV event. Jim Gray's gonna gon
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be this huge event, YadA, YadA, Gotta get a lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of attention, a lot of press. That was a collective
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: thumbs down. And I love the people that are like, well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he did raise three million dollars for the Boys and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Girls Club. It's like, do you think that was his goal?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Do you think that was his focus that was going
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for He was going for attention. It's the same thing
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: right now. He's going for attention and it just doesn't
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: play well. I think that even now people would be
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: if it was the equivalent of I'm back now, I'm
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going to the Miami Heat. Done short, sweet, to the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: point I think most fans would be much more up
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for that than the way it's going right now. Coop's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: got something reab for us.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Coop, Well, I I have a take on many of
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the things that you just mentioned.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, he's definitely like I mean, look,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I don't find it as h irritating as Aaron Rogers,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for example, Okay, And the only reason being is because,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: like with Aaron Rodgers, it got to a point where
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: it was pretty much like, Okay, he's he's having one
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: team kind of like hanging out there right not knowing
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: what they should do with their off season because they're
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: waiting on him to decide what to do. In this
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in this scenario, it's like, you know, there's multiple teams
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: that he could go to, so it's like, do what
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you're gonna do, and if Lebron decides, you know, like
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: it's just but the the other thing is on you know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: On the same hand, it's definitely look at me attention
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: grab because that's what he's been his entire career totally
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and that's what Like, you know, before he came to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, I couldn't stand Lebron. And even even when
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: he was on the Lakers, I couldn't stand Lebron. I okay,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: really I cheered for him. I liked him. I found
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you know, new respect for him because it's you just
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: can't deny how amazing he is and what he's doing. Uh,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: But it's always look at me. I the thing that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I hated about him, I respected how good of a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: player he was. I was like, Okay, this guy's amazing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: He might be the goat, but it's always and it's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: not just.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: With let's not get crazy here, man, let's slow down
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: with the goat talk right there, you know, but I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: mean to derail you. Go ahead, keep going.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I'll touch on that in a second as well. But
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and it's not just the the decision and you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the the media stuff. It's also on the court. Anytime
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: anytime he gets like heard, you know, it's like it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: on the floor, like pounding the floor and grimissing, like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just he's just so over the top,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: such a drama queen. You're just like, come on. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: that's and I think that's why people have very little
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: patience for this now a dressing the goat talk and him,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you know, chasing the ghost of Michael Jordan. What any
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: anything that's happened or will happen throughout the rest of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: his career. It's already like the debate's already done and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you can't change it because you've got the you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the side of the debate where it's like, Okay, Jordan
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: never lost in the finals. He was you know, six
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: for six, like you know, he was a clutch killer,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and you know that's all things that Lebron never had.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And then you can look at Okay, well, look at
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the longevity that's unmatched by anyone ever and will probably
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: be unmatched from here on out because what he's doing
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: at this age is unheard of. Michael Jordan at you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: forty was you know, averaging like twenty points on a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Terrible Wizard's team. Yeah, so you know, you've it just
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: depends on the criteria that you're grading by. So I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: don't know, it's just now.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: That listen, wherever you land, everybody's dug in. No one's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: mce to right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Even if he wins another championship, that's that's not going
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to change anything.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I do think this though, and not to get into
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a full blown goat talk because that would really push
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: people over the edge, you know, is I think a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: lot of the younger people someoney. One of my buddies
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: made this point the other day, my guy Chad Doing
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: he does radio in Portland, and so we're talking the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: other day and he was like, you know, Nick Wright
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: is always slurping Lebron, and my buddy Chad, he was like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I looked up how old he was and I was like, oh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that makes sense, you know, Like he didn't watch Jordan's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: whole career. And so that's one of the things that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: about this goat debate. Listen, we're to the point now
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of NBA fans that are in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: their twenties, in their early thirties, and it's like, you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: never watched Jordan's full career, No wonder you think Lebron
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: is the goat. Like it's just a different appreciation that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you have when you're watching it live. It's just different.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I just there hasn't been another unstoppable
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: force when it matters much, when it matters more than
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Jordan and people take this as complete negativity. It's just
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the truth. With Lebron, when you look at the numbers
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and his longevity is unmatched, it's unbelievable and it's very,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: very valuable. But in terms of peak greatness, like Lebron
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: has the most points in NBA history, he has one
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: scoring title one MJ had ten. Okay, like MJ was
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: twice the score Lebron ever was. And it's just like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Lebron's lasted more than longer than anybody else's come close
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to doing so. And I'm not trying to, like, you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: categorize his career as a complete compiler, but when you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: talking about historic numbers like that, he's just compiled great
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: numbers because he's.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Lasted so long. That's what it is.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So like the greatness of Jordan winning scoring title after
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: scoring title, championship after championship is just better.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I mean they had different games though, you know, so
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: that's that's tough as well. Like you know, Michael Jordan,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I just I just looked it up. He had, you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: twenty eight triple doubles in his career during the regular season.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He's not a rebounding guy.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, you know, but Lebron had
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and twenty five, and you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you could even cut several years off the back end
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: if you want to, like, you know, get rid of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the compiling part. And he still has him dominated in that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It's different styles of play.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Sure, no doubt. I think this two. I think that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we just had this in the NFL. I'll make this
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an NFL topic as well, so
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the people are like, no, mar lebro can't do it,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and you do it a full segment. I get about
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the jump right, Like, what you do in the regular season,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that's great. It doesn't matter nearly as much as what
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you do in the playoffs. Okay, likes that's why we
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: just had. Josh Allen is the number one quarterback in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the league more than he's on top of Mahomes. What
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: are we doing right now? What has Josh Allen done
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: come playoff time? He's put up some good numbers, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: we just saw him again Coop against your Broncos. Four
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: turnovers in a playoff loss. He's got Dawson Knox wide
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: open for maybe a game winning touchdown, airmails it the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: fumble before halftime. What are you doing. You're in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: middle of You're not even close to scoring. You just
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: gave him three points. If Mahomes had a playoff performance
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: like that, unacceptable. Our expectations for Mahomes, based on what
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: he's accomplished before, are sky high. Our expectations for Josh
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Allen aren't the same. Josh Allen is zero and four
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: heads up against Mahomes and the Chiefs and the playoffs,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and he's above Mahomes. Mahomes his record in the playoffs
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is seventeen and four. That's like historically great already, Like
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen's one game above five hundred. So that's the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: thing is, you can give me all these numbers, Josh Allen.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: It's it's remarkable. Josh Allen has threes the most seasons.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He's got three seasons with at least twenty five touchdown
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: passes and ten rushing touchdowns. That's insane. And he's done
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it the last three years. He's unbelievable in the regular
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: season playoffs. Like Mahomes in the playoffs, is world's better
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: than anybody in an NFL uniform playing quarterback right now,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and a lot of former greats as well, and you're
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: gonna put him number two on the list. It's insane.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And I know that whole list was based on the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: here and now, and I would still make it about
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: here and now. Who are you betting on? Who are
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you believing in the most? Come playoff time to get
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the job done. It's Mahomes way before Josh Allen. Josh
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Allen hasn't even been to a super Bowl. Mahomes has
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: won three. What are we doing? So the point and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: bring it back to Lebron and mj You can give
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: me all these fancy numbers about Lebron in the regular season,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and he's got these many triple doubles, and he's got
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: these many points, and he's got Yeah, come talk to me.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Come playoff time. Who's your guy? Come playoff time when
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it matters most? Is it? Lebron? I want you to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: be the unstoppable force. Everybody knew Jordan's taking the final shot.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: He still took and he made it a lot. Not always,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: but he made it a lot. You've got Lebron, He's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: making the proper basketball play and finding Kyle Korver bricking
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a three in the corner. I don't want that. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: want greatness. When it's required on the biggest of stages,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and that was MJ All freaking day, Lebron's getting punked
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: by JJ Berea. It's just like, no, get out of here.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I just can't do that debate anymore. It just doesn't
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: make any sense. But his longevity is unmatched, and that's
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the problem when you're doing that, It's just like you
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: have to like shout down one guy to uplift the other,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and I never like doing that. Lebron's been remarkable, but no,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I don't have him number one on the list. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the point I wanted to make with the focus being
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: on Lebron and how long he's taking and oh my gosh,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: make up your mind, dude, this is killing me. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: think Adam Silver actually looks worse. This is what Adam
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Silver said about, like, could you please hurry up plays
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Lebron plays. Here's Adam Silver at Fanatics fan Fest.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Where Lebron plays will affect the schedule, So I would
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: like him to make his announcement already so we can.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Finish the schedule.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Because, as you might imagine, the teams are calling us,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: the networks are calling us, and everybody wants to walk
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: in the schedule, but it will influence how we set
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: the schedule, do how he's sat an opening week, Christmas Day,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: et cetera. So I need him to make a decision.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is so pathetic man. For a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: couple of reasons. One, it's rich that Adam Silver is
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: asking Lebron to hurry up. Meanwhile, we've got this little
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Kawhi lettered detail that hasn't been figured out yet, which
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: is Kawhi getting paid under the table and the salary
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: cap being circumvented, and the NBA has done over a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: ten month investigation on that. It's like, could you figure
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: that one out, commission? Can we do that? And clean
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: up your own closet You got some skeletons in there.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Before you start talking trash about Lebron taking his sweet time.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Lebron's taken three weeks. You've taken over ten months figure
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: out the Kawhi thing already, my lord Paplo Torre has
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: uncovered way more than the NBA has. Get it together, NBA,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: my gosh. And the other thing, why Adam Silver looks
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: so lame in this. He just looks like a parent
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: with no power. Adam Silver sounds like the parent that's like,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: do your homework, and the kid doesn't do his homework
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: and he's like, please do your homework. It's like, what
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is this Guy's the commissioner of the NBA. He's asking
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Lebron to hurry up, which is the worst thing he
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: could do. He looks like a commissioner that has no power.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He looks desperate, and he looks like he has zero juice,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what he has. He looks so pathetic
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in this whole thing, and Lebron couldn't be loving this more.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Think about Lebron last season. He went from talking about
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he's never been a third option before in his life.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's what he was with the Lakers when Luca and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Austin Reeves were healthy. Lebron was the third option, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: to his credit, he made it work. But he's never
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: had that role in his life, and he didn't like it.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: He made it work, but he didn't like it, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: he let it be known. He went from that and
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: the reports of him feeling like he was taken for
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: granted to this offseason and it's nothing but bouquets of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: flowers come play for us, Lebron. Here's Steph's recruiting pitch.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Here's Draymond's recruiting pitch. Here are voicemails for his agent,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul from Upper Management saying, we'd love to have
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you at Minnesota, Lebron. Oh, it would be so amazing. Oh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: he's loving. And then you get the commissioner that's like, please,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you're too powerful, Lebron. If you choose the Miami Heat, well,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: we want to feature the Miami Heat maybe in our
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: opening game. If you're on the Miami Heat, we want
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: them to be on Christmas Day. You're too powerful, Lebron.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: We can't move forward until you tell us what's what.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: He's loving this, He could not love it more. Oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it's such a dumb move by Adam Silver. I swear
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: for a guy who's so smart. Adam Silver is a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: smart guy. He does some of the dumbest things man
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to be like, Lebron, could you hurry up please, I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: gonna need you to make a decision. It was so
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: he looks so much worse than Lebron does in this
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: whole thing. At least that's what I think, all right?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Also on X at the No Show is where he
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: can reach me. We'll get to a tweet that caught
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: my attention right around the corner that leads to a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: question about playing in the elements, and we'll get to
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: running backs, a couple of running back thoughts I have
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: on my mind in terms of season long prop bets,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: all that good stuff to come ball in the not
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: too distant future. Seven weeks until the NFL is back,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and just a couple of minutes short break until I'm
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: back and jabbering about ball. Get your calls in here,

  Speaker 1: Ben Malor. I hate even speaking over this song, Coop.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It's fan plastic. The amount of trash.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: We don't have to talk right now.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Let's just enjoy it, you.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Know, Let's do that. You know I I need to talk.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Coop.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Let me know when you like the song.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem. Coop doesn't understand what it's about. Lorena Like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that's the whole point.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: It's a country song. I'm not gonna lie. It doesn't
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: matter what. It's so absolute. I don't like country. Such
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: a blanket statement it is.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It's closed minded, Coops.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Are you talking about? It's the style of music that
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I do joy. It doesn't matter what she's singing about
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: or what the if you.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Can relate to something, if it hits home, if you've
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: experienced it all of a sudden, you know it. Your
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: walls come down.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: You never drink jack all by yourself. No, you never
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: had a girl choose a different boy over you.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Sure, but there you go. There it is, there we go.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: No, but it's it doesn't it's not pleasing to my ears.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing. This is important, Coop, because she
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: says this in the video. This is the gist of
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the whole song.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: Thank God that I'm in love with is in love
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: with somebody else.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's it. So when she it's really cool,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: like the metaphors. Everything that she mentions about Tennessee is
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: describing herself and everything that she mentions about Texas describing
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this other girl that her guy is you know, falling for.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So that's it. Like she's Tennessee girl, the other girl
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: is Texas girl, and her guy wants Texas girl, which
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: sucks for her.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Well, he used to date Texas girl because he's from Texas.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He used to date Texas girl and now and he
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: can't take his eyes off of Texas girl.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: So it's so it's the Jolene.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: I think Jolene was new. Joleene was a new girl
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: that showed up. Yeah, this is his ex and she
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: took him back home.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, very well done, and Coop, it is blowing
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: up the charts right here? Do you realize charts topper
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Ella Langley's Choosing Texas? It ties Whitney Houston's I Will
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Always Love You and Mariah Carey's We Belong Together for
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the most weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred stop among non holiday songs by women. That
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: sounds like a baseball stat right there.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: The number one song released in June.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Night names on Wednesday. Yeah, it's a got a wordy
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: stat right there, but whatever, she's right there, she's right
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: there with some classics.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Two other songs that you mentioned destroy this song.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Oh You're crazy. Choosing Texas is a fantastic song, Coop, Coop,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you haven't.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Even heard the whole thing you have heard. I don't
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: need to hear it, twenty seven seconds of it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I I just don't need to hear it.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: So the country, there's nothing, not one, not one Johnny
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Cash song I like.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I like Johnny Cash.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Johnny So why is it that's okay? Why why is
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it that?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Because because a lot of Johnny Cash's songs don't have
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: that just you know, generic country sound. It's it's different.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I don't like all Johnny Cash, but a lot a
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: lot of his songs just don't have that country song vibe.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You gotta love the stories in country though, Coop, Well.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: My dog died my pickup truck.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: It's not just that. Like what she's everybody can relate
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to that. Like what Loraina just said, Coop, there's never
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: been a girl that you've been all about, and sadly
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: she's all about somebody else like that sucks. Most people
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: have been there, and.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: There as of other songs that talk about the same
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: thing in in a format that I enjoy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: But the way he's talking about it is very creative,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: got all these metaphors going. It's really good.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It's really good, but it's got that country twaying that
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I got a you do love Johnny Cash.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I do have a cut. This is from Sonic Highways.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It's a Foo Fighters thing. It's one of their albums,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: but they did this special on HBO. It was really cool.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. They just go to various cities
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: in the country and they tell a bunch of stories
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: about the history of music in that city. And this
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: was one of the cuts from the Nashville one. This
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: is Emmy Lou Harris and she's describing country music. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you get a little Johnny Cash at the end. Right
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: up your alley here, Coop, check this out.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: And country music it's about it's all that story.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: But a man in re.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Bad. It's all about the story, Coop. Come on, who
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't love a good story. You gotta be in the
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: market for a good story. It's country music. This was
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: in the movie Ray as well, right the Jamie Fox
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: did an amazing job playing Ray Charles. This is what
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: he said in the movie about country music. This is great.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I love this quote.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something, man, that country music. You
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: know why they like it? The stories?
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: Man, he got great stories.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I'm choosing Texas. It's a great story man, And it's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: a simple melody. It's fantastic. I love it off the charts. Now,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: did you guys know this? Did you know that this
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Whitney Houston song? You absolutely know this one. I shouldn't
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: even play it for you, though I will always love you.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: My arms are raised.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Now did you know that's a cover?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I think I did know that.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Actually, do you know that it's by the original No
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it's from Dolly there. It is Dolly parton the original
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And did you know this? This is even better. Who
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: was supposed to cover that song before Whitney Houston was Elvis.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: This goes back to Son of Highways. Here's Dolly talking
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: about this. This is really interesting stuff. If you like
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: music stories and a little bit of the business side
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of it, check this out.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Before Whitney sang the song, there's the story that I
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: tell about when Elvis was planning to record I Will
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: Always Love You, and he had it all worked up,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: and I told everybody that he was recording it, and
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: they had invited me down to the studio. And so
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: the night before, Colonel Tom had called and said, now
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: you know that Elvis, don't do anything that we don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: have the publishing or at least half the publishing off
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: I said, well, I can't do that because that's my
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: most important copywriter in my publishing company. Elvis didn't do
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: the song. Then it broke my heart, but that's when
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I realized how serious I was as a songwriter. I
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: just held my ground and this worked out pretty well.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: From how about that, we almost didn't have Whitney Houston's version,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be Elvis. Well, maybe we would add boths.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: I love Dolly Parton.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: You're Dolly Parton fan? Huh yes, yeah, who isn't? Coop
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: isn't Whop hates country except for Johnny Cash.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he hates Dolly then too. That sucks. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: like Dolly Parton. Oh my gosh.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: So many exceptions.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Over here, like the song Joelene is good. I don't
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: know really many other songs by Dolly Parton, and I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: probably wouldn't you.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. You know more than
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you think you know. Coop can't help it. It infects
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you right over there, get into your skin. You know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: can't help it. But I love all that type of stuff,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: like the stories and all that. It's really good. Uh
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you want another story here? This? You might like this?
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: You want your Maynard thing? Could I could I dangle
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the Maynard carrot if you put up with one other
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: cut here?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. I'm interested to see if I already
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: knew this fun fact that you have about Maynard.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: But okay, you might not to completely let the cat
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: out of the back has something to do with stomping,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: do you have any idea where that's going wine.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: No, okay, no, yeah, I don't know.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Oh man, you might learn something over here that's good.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Before Maynard, how about this? This is again on Sonic Highways.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite stories of the whole episode,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the Nashville episode. This is Zach Brown, so Zach Brown Band.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: They were they were just trying to make it. This
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: goes years back where they're on the road. They go
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to I forget what he said. I think it's at
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Panama City. He's like, dude, we're gonna buy a van.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be huge. He's like, we were broke. We
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: were not going anywhere whatsoever. And so that's where it
• 28:50

• 30:10
  Speaker 8: We're broke. We have the song Chicken Fried. We put
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: it on a CD in O five. This band, the
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: Lost Trailers called and said we want to record Chicken Fried.
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: I was like, well, I don't have a problem with
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: you recording the song, but this is our song and
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: as long as you don't release it to radio, if
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: you want to have it on your record, I'm fine
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: with that. Then they get a record deal through Sonya
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: to this dude Joglani, who like runs Nashville. Basically he
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: said that's the single, which the first time I hear
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Chicken Fried on the radio, it wasn't us singing it.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It was like my worst nightmare.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: So I call my lawyer and I'm like, dude, the
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: songs on the radio. And then he says, you know, Zach,
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: what's what's the deal with this. He's like, you can
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: get black ball out of Nashville forever for not letting
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: them record the song. And I was like, you know
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: what that the dude told me he wouldn't do it,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: and then he did it, so they had to call
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: seasoned assists.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: They it off the radio.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: I came to Nashville to play a show at Third
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: and Lindsley and there was a dude in there.
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: They're like, you know who that is. That's the dude
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: that's had forty number ones with Alan Jackson. And he's
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: like the dude Keith stick Golf and Keith had come
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: out to hear me play and he sat down at
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: the table and he's like, you know, staring down at
• 31:18

• 31:29
  Speaker 1: new appreciation, Coop. That was the beginning. Zach Brown didn't

  Speaker 1: stand his ground like Dolly Parton did. Who knows, might
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: not know him at all, might never have been discovered.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Never made it into this song again after tonight.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: That's that's outrageous right there. You gotta love the story though,

  Speaker 1: or the music, you gotta love the story.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Man, we want to go line dancing.

  Speaker 1: you're touring, you're living in the back of a van,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to make it, and all of a sudden,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: some other band rips your song off and you hear

• 32:03
  Speaker 1: their version. That's insane. That's crazy, man. I love that story.

  Speaker 1: I got the new Tool album and it's unbelievable. It's

  Speaker 2: and and finishes the whole song with the with the
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: fan pin underneath it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool, I gotta admit. I mean, I'm sure
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: it was during a sucky tool song because I mean,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: they don't have anything else in the repertoire over there.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: But that is cool. I gotta admit that is pretty cool. Coop,

• 36:33
  Speaker 1: ferg Dog who wrote that. I'll try to find that out.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: But it might have been him. I don't know if
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: this is a callback to one of my meathead takes
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: from a long time ago. I feel that we as
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: men have to brave the elements. That's just how I feel,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And this is more of a cold weather type thing.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I just feel like if you're the guy who's like,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: oh man, it's only five degrees, it's freezing cold out here,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna just put it on automatic and
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run back in my car. That's a
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: weenie move. I'm just sorry. I know it's a meat
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: head take. I know it's more comfortable inside. I just
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: feel like there's something As a guy, I'll just put it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Like myself, I can't go back in my car and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: look at myself in the rear view mirror and have
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: any sort of respect for myself whatsoever. I would look
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: at myself in the rearview mirror like you're pathetic. This
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: is just too cold for you. Just can't hack it.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: You just can't do it. You'd rather be toasty inside.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: It's just I can't do it. I can't look at
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: myself in the mirror. So I've done this before, Coop.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: This goes way back. Maybe it's a call back here,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: but he brings it with rain, I'll use it. I'm
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: not gonna look down. I would look down on some guys.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I would look down. I see you cuddled
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: up in your car trying to get warm. Yeah, I'd
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: be like weak, you know, I would look ladies. You
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: know I have no issues. You want to get warm,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: stay warm, no problem whatsoever.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: But guys, so you're saying men can't be cold.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying you got to brave the elements, Loraina.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: You gotta brave the elements here.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: I thought I was gonna freeze on the Haunted Mansion today,
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: and what happened, Well, the ride broke down and it
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: was right underneath the air conditioner vent where I was at,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: and it was like literally just blasting straight onto me.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: I was in a tank top and a skirt, so
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: I'm just chicken skinned. I was like bumpy and freezing.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Uh huh. And what happened? You powered through right?
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but we were there for like four minutes.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: It was a lot, and you made it. I was
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: shivering and you're here to tell the tale. Almost died. Yeah,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: So if that happened when you're pumping gas, you know,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: and you get inside totally fine, no issue with it,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: do you this might I'm sure this is just a
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: me thing. But how would you feel about a guy, Lorena?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: This is an honest question. Like you're you're dating this
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: guy brand new and it's cold. It's a cold, cold day,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: like legitimately cold, and he's like, hey, I gotta I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: gotta pull over, stop for gas here real quick, and uh,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: you know, he starts the gas pump and he runs
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: back and he's like trying to get his hands. Would
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you not look at him sideways? Like are you serious
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Dude? You're really sensitive to the cold. I feel like
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I would be okay with it and then probably turn
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: on the heater and hand him some gloves.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then call him a little.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Right yeah, now see what I'm saying over here. But
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: just to play, but just to play, you know, just
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: that that pansy yeah yeah, yeah, like you have a vagina,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you know, those little playful shots, right, Yeah, I get it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: All healthy relationships have that.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, same thing with an umbrella man, Like you know,
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: you're just like, oh, it's I'm gonna get a little misty.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: It's just lame, slame. I'll get to the Chiefs in
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: their enclosed stadium here in a second. And also, sports
• 40:08
