Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews. You need to start
- 0:05Speaker 1: your day. You're listening to the West Carrol.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Morning Show, Thursday morning, six day of February. I'm Wes.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Thanks for joining me, enjoying a cup of coffee with me.
- 0:19Speaker 2: I've already had mine. Actually can't pretend I'm having it
- 0:22Speaker 2: while I'm sitting here, but I've just had it. I
- 0:24Speaker 2: guess I could pretend the cup is here. I mean,
- 0:28Speaker 2: if you need to actually hear the cup there it is.
- 0:34Speaker 2: It's just empty, mostly empty. I guess there's a little
- 0:37Speaker 2: bit in there. We can have this last step together,
- 0:39Speaker 2: how about that. Thanks for having me with you, maybe
- 0:44Speaker 2: on your commute, maybe with your cup of coffee, maybe
- 0:46Speaker 2: with your breakfast, maybe on your lunch break, whatever it
- 0:49Speaker 2: is that you're doing. I appreciate you listening and letting
- 0:54Speaker 2: the thoughts from my head be part of your day.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I appreciate that very much. Let's let's jump in and
- 1:03Speaker 2: by the way, and I've had a few people asking
- 1:05Speaker 2: because I mentioned the other day that my budding meteorologist
- 1:08Speaker 2: in the house, Luke Is, was talking about this next vortex. Right,
- 1:16Speaker 2: we got the next batch of cold air that's supposed
- 1:19Speaker 2: to be coming through, and he's he's been updating me
- 1:22Speaker 2: on it about some possible changes to it and all that.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I know it has been very warm for a couple
- 1:27Speaker 2: of days. I know it's going to be a little
- 1:30Speaker 2: cooler next week. And I didn't even have to go
- 1:34Speaker 2: to him to learn that. But we we're going to
- 1:37Speaker 2: get some slightly cooler weather. And it's been it's just
- 1:42Speaker 2: felt like it's summer just came. That's what it's felt like.
- 1:46Speaker 2: And I don't think any of us are ready for that.
- 1:48Speaker 2: I know everybody was ready for some you know, warmer
- 1:51Speaker 2: weather after the snow. You know, when we get snow.
- 1:56Speaker 2: I don't complain so much about spring coming because at
- 1:59Speaker 2: least we got some things significant and with some snow days,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and we had a week of it. I mean, we
- 2:05Speaker 2: had four solid days of snow fun. Right, we were
- 2:10Speaker 2: able to enjoy it and really make the most of it.
- 2:15Speaker 2: When you don't get that and it barely even gets cold,
- 2:20Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, it's one hundred and
- 2:22Speaker 2: seven degrees and you feel like you just didn't get anything.
- 2:28Speaker 2: You just feel like what a ripoff? Man. This just
- 2:31Speaker 2: kind of blew by, and then it's back and it's
- 2:34Speaker 2: hot again, so I think I don't feel so badly
- 2:38Speaker 2: about it being a little warmer than average right now.
- 2:41Speaker 2: But we'll get another little cooler snap, and whether the
- 2:45Speaker 2: polar vortex happens or not remains to be seen. I
- 2:48Speaker 2: know some states are obviously going to experience and get
- 2:51Speaker 2: something from it, but we'll see how this all goes.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Our new Secretary of Defense met with Israel's Benjamin net
- 3:03Speaker 2: and Yahoo yesterday. That seemed like it. I watched the
- 3:10Speaker 2: initial greetings as they sat across the table from each
- 3:14Speaker 2: other and talk, and Netan Yahoo said he was looking
- 3:18Speaker 2: forward to chatting with Hegseeth. Once the cameras were away.
- 3:22Speaker 2: The press that were there managed to get a few
- 3:24Speaker 2: questions and it didn't seem to be planned or scheduled,
- 3:27Speaker 2: but heg Seth answered a few questions about Gaza and
- 3:31Speaker 2: Trump and all of that. It's going to play out.
- 3:33Speaker 2: We'll see where all people suddenly become now again experts
- 3:41Speaker 2: on on Gaza, people become experts on you know, presidential
- 3:48Speaker 2: authorities and rights. Look, I get it, Trump is hitting
- 3:53Speaker 2: everybody with a lot of things. They're having to get
- 3:55Speaker 2: their little mini doctorates in so many subjects. The other
- 4:01Speaker 2: one for yesterday. That is, I guess going to be
- 4:06Speaker 2: the main topic for today. The President sat down and
- 4:11Speaker 2: signed his latest executive order, and he's he called it
- 4:18Speaker 2: that there was some common sense action as it's time
- 4:22Speaker 2: to eliminate men in women's sports. And he basically said,
- 4:30Speaker 2: you know, through the Press secretary that the gender ideology
- 4:35Speaker 2: insanity is over. And I think it's really sort of
- 4:41Speaker 2: a war on women's sports. I mean, you can talk
- 4:47Speaker 2: about the whole This is not a simple issue. It's
- 4:51Speaker 2: never been a simple issue. I know some people very
- 4:55Speaker 2: much see the the gender issue as a very basic,
- 5:02Speaker 2: simple thing. I talked a little bit about it yesterday
- 5:06Speaker 2: because I basically said that it was part of why
- 5:13Speaker 2: the Democrats lost big in the election. I do think
- 5:17Speaker 2: that that was certainly part of it. I think that
- 5:23Speaker 2: it's certainly not a clear cut, black and white issue
- 5:28Speaker 2: in a number of areas. I do feel that for
- 5:32Speaker 2: the most part, especially by the time you get to
- 5:35Speaker 2: high school in college sports, it becomes a little bit
- 5:39Speaker 2: more clear. And we haven't, i guess, had to deal
- 5:43Speaker 2: with this on a professional level that I'm aware of.
- 5:46Speaker 2: I don't know that anybody has dared to, you know,
- 5:50Speaker 2: extend their NBA career over in the WNBA, or you know,
- 5:55Speaker 2: be the twelfth man on a team and then the
- 5:57Speaker 2: best player in the WNBA. I'm not aware of that
- 6:00Speaker 2: happening yet. I certainly think it could. I'm kind of
- 6:03Speaker 2: surprised that it hasn't. There's a lot that I feel
- 6:08Speaker 2: like they bank on no one doing that because and
- 6:14Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong on this. I do feel
- 6:18Speaker 2: that we are societally more accepting of a lot of things,
- 6:22Speaker 2: and I think that's a good thing, just when it
- 6:25Speaker 2: comes to not just in how we treat one another
- 6:32Speaker 2: that makes sense. I'm not an advocate necessarily of saying
- 6:36Speaker 2: that we should societally just accept things that come our
- 6:38Speaker 2: way just because something is popular or just because something
- 6:43Speaker 2: is dominating the headlines. I don't think that we should
- 6:46Speaker 2: just all say, well, I'm going to sacrifice my morals,
- 6:49Speaker 2: or sacrifice what I believe, or sacrifice a creed in
- 6:54Speaker 2: my faith for the sake of just accepting it and
- 6:57Speaker 2: being popular. That's when you start getting to You have
- 6:59Speaker 2: churches that let politics dictate, you know, what's being preached,
- 7:05Speaker 2: and that's that becomes that's a whole separate issue. But
- 7:09Speaker 2: I want to be clear, that's that's not the point
- 7:11Speaker 2: that I'm making here. I think that we need to
- 7:16Speaker 2: be a society that doesn't look at someone who's different
- 7:21Speaker 2: than us and mock them. Someone who sees someone who
- 7:25Speaker 2: looks different to us and mock them, And that should
- 7:29Speaker 2: be true across the board. We certainly don't see it
- 7:33Speaker 2: when it comes to I don't know Elon Musk and
- 7:36Speaker 2: I talked about that this week too. I think it's
- 7:38Speaker 2: really despicable that anybody would attack him the way that
- 7:42Speaker 2: they have, and I think that they're going to ultimately
- 7:44Speaker 2: pay consequences for that as well. I don't think that,
- 7:48Speaker 2: you know, mocking someone who is socially awkward and on
- 7:52Speaker 2: the autism spectrum is a smart move for anybody. It
- 7:57Speaker 2: shouldn't be. There's a lot of people that maybe they
- 8:00Speaker 2: don't recognize it in Musk. Maybe they don't they don't
- 8:05Speaker 2: see him and think, Wow, this guy who's a you know,
- 8:08Speaker 2: multi billionaire, surely isn't hindered by his autism and he's
- 8:15Speaker 2: so successful. And if that's your thinking in it again,
- 8:18Speaker 2: I say, shame on you. You shouldn't be trying to decide
- 8:23Speaker 2: where his disability puts him. And I understand. You can say, well,
- 8:27Speaker 2: clearly he's not overly handicapped by his disability, because he's
- 8:33Speaker 2: one of the most successful businessmen of all time. And
- 8:39Speaker 2: again that's none of your business. You can't say, well,
- 8:44Speaker 2: you know, this is a disability that we can't all see.
- 8:47Speaker 2: I think you can see it. I think you can
- 8:49Speaker 2: see it when he's awkward in communicating and he's awkward
- 8:53Speaker 2: in things that he does. You know. And this isn't
- 8:57Speaker 2: me armchair diagnosing him. This is a subject that's come
- 9:00Speaker 2: up in the past, and I don't think it's any
- 9:04Speaker 2: of our place to do anything other than see him
- 9:07Speaker 2: with the same grace that we see someone who is
- 9:10Speaker 2: clearly a man wearing a dress walking down the street.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I don't think we should see him any differently than
- 9:16Speaker 2: we see someone who you know, has had some sort
- 9:19Speaker 2: of an injury and they have lost, you know, something
- 9:22Speaker 2: in an injury or in combat, or you know, somebody
- 9:26Speaker 2: who struggles with how they speak, someone who struggles with
- 9:30Speaker 2: a stutter. I mean, there are places that we've just
- 9:35Speaker 2: accepted that we don't go. And I think we've gotten
- 9:40Speaker 2: a little better with some of those things. I know
- 9:43Speaker 2: I've gotten better with many of those things. In my
- 9:47Speaker 2: years on this planet. I think we've all made progress.
- 9:50Speaker 2: I can't say we all, I think collectively we've made
- 9:53Speaker 2: progress with that. So I do think it's good that
- 9:57Speaker 2: we're more accepting of a life allowing people to be
- 10:00Speaker 2: who they want to be. I don't think that it
- 10:03Speaker 2: should spill over. And this is again at the foundational
- 10:07Speaker 2: core of what I say all the time. You be.
- 10:09Speaker 2: You just don't ask others to force others to participate.
- 10:15Speaker 2: You can ask I guess I don't want to be
- 10:18Speaker 2: asked to participate, but you can. It's not fair to
- 10:24Speaker 2: try to force people to participate. It's not fair to
- 10:31Speaker 2: force your will on them because it's become your moral
- 10:36Speaker 2: high ground, it's become your well, this is what's right.
- 10:40Speaker 2: So this is what I'm going to force on you.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And this ties into what we talked about yesterday because
- 10:44Speaker 2: I really feel in a lot of ways that was
- 10:47Speaker 2: a bit and I heard from a few of you
- 10:48Speaker 2: about that, and I appreciate the the DMS and I
- 10:54Speaker 2: think I got an email as well, so it's I
- 10:57Speaker 2: appreciate hearing. I always appreciate hearing from you guys whenever
- 10:59Speaker 2: I do. Sometimes you challenge me on something sometimes it's
- 11:05Speaker 2: just to say, hey, great perspective on it. And I
- 11:07Speaker 2: appreciated those messages yesterday, and I think I got back
- 11:10Speaker 2: to everybody yesterday. If not, and you're listening now, I
- 11:14Speaker 2: appreciate it, and I plan to double check and make
- 11:17Speaker 2: sure I got back to the messages from yesterday. But
- 11:20Speaker 2: I think this is part of what we were talking
- 11:24Speaker 2: about yesterday. It all falls into this category of just
- 11:28Speaker 2: because you feel like you're right and you feel like
- 11:33Speaker 2: you have that moral high ground, that you can sort
- 11:35Speaker 2: of impose that on people. And that was a thing again,
- 11:39Speaker 2: and I'm reflecting on my experience and this is what
- 11:43Speaker 2: one of the conversations that I had with someone yesterday
- 11:46Speaker 2: who messaged me is my experience from say, my high
- 11:51Speaker 2: school days. And I know that there was a certain
- 11:56Speaker 2: amount of you know, the conservative Christian in churches that
- 12:02Speaker 2: were you know, people felt like they were trying to
- 12:06Speaker 2: force their ideology on people through politics. And you know,
- 12:11Speaker 2: now it's a different like now it's not so much
- 12:15Speaker 2: going through the church, although some churches I do feel
- 12:18Speaker 2: are very much guilty of this, and like I said,
- 12:22Speaker 2: they're letting politics dictate what they're preaching on Sundays, even
- 12:27Speaker 2: if it means sitting there with the President of the
- 12:29Speaker 2: United States in the room and dressing him down for
- 12:32Speaker 2: the sake of you know, personal glory and attention or
- 12:36Speaker 2: whatever it may be. We've already experienced that very early
- 12:40Speaker 2: on in this administration. But anyway, this idea of you
- 12:47Speaker 2: be you just don't ask me to participate, and don't
- 12:50Speaker 2: use it to hurt other people. And we've already seen
- 12:52Speaker 2: cases where this has hurt other people. We've already seen
- 12:55Speaker 2: cases of people missing out on opportunities to compete. When
- 12:59Speaker 2: I say people, specifically women missing out on opportunities to compete.
- 13:04Speaker 2: This is what title n I was supposed to be.
- 13:05Speaker 2: It was supposed to be to give women an equal
- 13:07Speaker 2: opportunity to compete in sports. It wasn't just supposed to
- 13:11Speaker 2: be about men. It wasn't just supposed to be about
- 13:15Speaker 2: men dominating in you know, women's sports. Now and there's
- 13:20Speaker 2: a man, I guess it's going to be nominated or
- 13:22Speaker 2: is nominated or likely nominated for an oscar a trans man.
- 13:27Speaker 2: That's a little different, but I don't think it's still
- 13:31Speaker 2: kind of you know, we're talking about a case where
- 13:33Speaker 2: in the arts, it's obviously not I don't think there's
- 13:37Speaker 2: an advantage there the way there is when it comes
- 13:40Speaker 2: to physicality in sports. But you know, it's still like
- 13:47Speaker 2: we could sit here all day and we hear constantly
- 13:50Speaker 2: about how women don't get nominated or rarely get nominated
- 13:53Speaker 2: to win as Best Director at the Oscars. Like that's
- 13:57Speaker 2: a regular complaint that Hollywood has. They'll get up on
- 14:00Speaker 2: stage and they'll complain about it and they'll throw these
- 14:02Speaker 2: little digs out. So what happens when now we you know,
- 14:08Speaker 2: you go, okay, well, if a biological man is nominated
- 14:12Speaker 2: for Best Actress, right, then that means then you have
- 14:21Speaker 2: like six biological men nominated and for biological women nominated.
- 14:28Speaker 2: How far can that go? Right? How far can that
- 14:33Speaker 2: go before someone says, wait a minute. So I mean
- 14:38Speaker 2: I feel like, but I don't know if they want to.
- 14:42Speaker 2: You know, that's that's a different topic altogether. And when
- 14:45Speaker 2: it comes to acting, I think it's unfair to the
- 14:47Speaker 2: women to the that fifth woman who gets booted out.
- 14:50Speaker 2: And that's what's happened in sports. That's what happens in
- 14:55Speaker 2: sports when there's a biological man who is you know,
- 14:59Speaker 2: was meet when they were competing with men, decides to
- 15:02Speaker 2: compete with women and is suddenly dominating in the pool,
- 15:06Speaker 2: on the volleyball court, wherever it is in some cases
- 15:11Speaker 2: track and field events. Now again, and I've said this before,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and I have coached sports, I have coached soccer, I
- 15:20Speaker 2: have coached tennis. I can tell you that there's an
- 15:24Speaker 2: age where things start to change a little bit. There's
- 15:27Speaker 2: an age where girls and boys competing together. It might
- 15:34Speaker 2: not be a big deal when they're young, but you
- 15:36Speaker 2: get to a point where suddenly it becomes different and
- 15:42Speaker 2: when it's going to be And that's why. And like
- 15:44Speaker 2: and I coached soccer where I coached, there was first
- 15:49Speaker 2: places I coached it was just a co ed league.
- 15:52Speaker 2: That's all it was. There was no girls boys. It
- 15:55Speaker 2: was a co ed league, that's all it was. Then
- 15:58Speaker 2: coaching with the Columbus Youth Soccer Club, they had girls
- 16:03Speaker 2: teams and then they had co ed And see that
- 16:07Speaker 2: to me, provides an opportunity for the girls that want
- 16:10Speaker 2: to compete with the boys can absolutely do that. They're
- 16:14Speaker 2: able to do that. And again at a young age,
- 16:17Speaker 2: there's a point where it starts to make a difference.
- 16:20Speaker 2: And when you start getting into competitive and I mean
- 16:24Speaker 2: maybe middle school, but definitely by high school, definitely college.
- 16:30Speaker 2: There is a difference competitively and if you're going to
- 16:32Speaker 2: cross over and compete. And this is why there has
- 16:35Speaker 2: been this cry for common sense. And I understand there's
- 16:39Speaker 2: a criticism on using the term common sense. I criticize
- 16:42Speaker 2: it especially when people say on the left or anybody
- 16:46Speaker 2: who's anti gun says we need common sense gun laws.
- 16:50Speaker 2: That doesn't mean anything. I haven't heard a common sense
- 16:54Speaker 2: gun law that would have made a difference in whatever
- 16:58Speaker 2: the particular gun crime want that just happened. I've never heard.
- 17:03Speaker 2: I've never heard someone think there be a gun crime,
- 17:07Speaker 2: a mass shooting, whatever it is. And then someone says, well,
- 17:09Speaker 2: if we had common sense laws for this, that would
- 17:13Speaker 2: have fixed it. Well, what's the common sense law? What
- 17:15Speaker 2: is the common sense? You know, you're throwing this term
- 17:18Speaker 2: out of common sense? Now common sense when it comes
- 17:22Speaker 2: to a colleged age man, biological man competing as a
- 17:27Speaker 2: woman against women and dominating and keeping women from being
- 17:33Speaker 2: able to fill that roster spot, or keeping them from
- 17:37Speaker 2: having the ability to win a championship, or keeping them
- 17:40Speaker 2: from being able to compete at their highest of levels.
- 17:43Speaker 2: And know what it feels like to win as a competitor.
- 17:47Speaker 2: That does seem like it should be common sense, and
- 17:49Speaker 2: that's what the President is going for when he signed
- 17:54Speaker 2: this yesterday calling it the War on women's Sports is over,
- 18:00Speaker 2: and he was joined for the signing Riley Gaines, Peyton McNabb,
- 18:10Speaker 2: Lauren Miller, Kim Russell and others people that have been
- 18:15Speaker 2: advocates for protecting women's sport and basically fighting to protect
- 18:20Speaker 2: that promise of Title nine. Now there's some legislation that
- 18:24Speaker 2: needs to go through the House has passed it, Senate
- 18:27Speaker 2: needs to pass it and move forward with it. But
- 18:30Speaker 2: it was a great gathering and collection that was there
- 18:34Speaker 2: for the signing yesterday, So a big step and it's
- 18:40Speaker 2: one of those campaign promises and I think it's one
- 18:42Speaker 2: of those people one of those things that a lot
- 18:45Speaker 2: of people were hoping for when it came to preserving
- 18:50Speaker 2: rights for girls and women to be able to compete
- 18:52Speaker 2: at a high level in sports. Today's show brought to

- 21:21Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
- 21:23Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
- 21:27Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of insulation
- 21:30Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
- 21:34Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
- 21:37Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
- 21:40Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
- 21:43Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
- 21:46Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor. You know, if you like
- 21:49Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
- 21:51Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid. You'd like to
- 21:54Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
- 21:55Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
- 21:58Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
- 22:01Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
- 22:04Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
- 22:07Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, and they do those
- 22:10Speaker 2: as well. Seven six five eight forty five hundred seven

- 22:18Speaker 2: dot com More West Carol Morning Show. Right after the break, Well,
- 22:30Speaker 2: interestingly enough, I guess the latest news on Carlos Slovia Gascon,
- 22:37Speaker 2: the biological man. The first transactress we were just talking
- 22:42Speaker 2: about that is up for Best Actress at the Oscars.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Amelia Perez is the movie that she's in and likely
- 22:52Speaker 2: won't maybe won't be attending the Oscars, but has decided
- 22:56Speaker 2: to avoid all of the publicity things campaigning for to
- 23:03Speaker 2: possibly win the Best Actress award. And I guess it
- 23:08Speaker 2: relates to some old tweets about George Floyd and Islam
- 23:16Speaker 2: and a number of other things, some comments that have
- 23:18Speaker 2: been deemed inappropriate and racist by Hollywood. So yeah, those things,
- 23:26Speaker 2: And basically I guess the defense at some point was
- 23:30Speaker 2: there was an apology of some sort and then saying
- 23:33Speaker 2: that one of the other actresses teams were behind digging
- 23:37Speaker 2: into all of this to try to make sure that
- 23:40Speaker 2: their actress is the winner. So yeah, I mean, I
- 23:45Speaker 2: don't know how much of that, if that's true, would
- 23:48Speaker 2: have to do with what we were talking about a
- 23:51Speaker 2: little bit of like, hey, let let let a woman
- 23:55Speaker 2: win Best Actress. I don't know, I don't I don't
- 23:57Speaker 2: have any idea. I don't really like to me, that's
- 24:00Speaker 2: not necessarily a clear advantage the way it is in sports,
- 24:04Speaker 2: So you know, and honestly, there was when I was
- 24:07Speaker 2: a kid, I used to love watching the Oscars with
- 24:11Speaker 2: my mom. That was something that I really like to
- 24:14Speaker 2: do a lot as a kid. I watched them over
- 24:16Speaker 2: the years. I've enjoyed in the past making predictions and
- 24:20Speaker 2: picks and things for what, But it's those award shows
- 24:24Speaker 2: don't really mean anything to me anymore. I do tend
- 24:26Speaker 2: to watch the movie that wins Best Picture every year,
- 24:29Speaker 2: and I've seen most of them. There's about nine of
- 24:31Speaker 2: them that I haven't seen total. I haven't knocked any
- 24:35Speaker 2: off of that list of nine or so eight or
- 24:38Speaker 2: nine that I haven't seen, And obviously there'll be a
- 24:40Speaker 2: new one this year that'll go in the list, and
- 24:44Speaker 2: I'll watch it until something wins that I just I
- 24:47Speaker 2: can't watch. And I'm thankful that there was a movie
- 24:50Speaker 2: a few years ago, call Me by My Name, about
- 24:55Speaker 2: an adult man and an underage boy having a relationship together,
- 24:59Speaker 2: and I can't watch that, So that would have been
- 25:01Speaker 2: that would have ended the possibility of me going one
- 25:04Speaker 2: hundred percent. But thankfully that one didn't win, so I
- 25:06Speaker 2: didn't have to worry about it all right. So something
- 25:11Speaker 2: that's going on here when it comes to the Super
- 25:14Speaker 2: Bowl coming up as this possibility of whether or not
- 25:17Speaker 2: the word three peat can be used, as the Chiefs
- 25:21Speaker 2: are trying to win their third straight Super Bowl. So
- 25:25Speaker 2: when pat Riley was coaching the Lakers and they were
- 25:30Speaker 2: going for their three peat. That's when pat Riley decided
- 25:34Speaker 2: to trademark the phrase three peat. He owns the trademark still,
- 25:39Speaker 2: and it's a big deal now because of the Chiefs.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Riley has struck a deal to allow the Chiefs to
- 25:45Speaker 2: use the phrase without legal worries if they do end
- 25:47Speaker 2: up winning the Super Bowl. If money gets made on
- 25:50Speaker 2: the merchandise, Riley will get a percentage and that'll be
- 25:54Speaker 2: donated to pat Riley's charity foundation. So if you were
- 25:59Speaker 2: stressed at all about the whole three peat thing, just
- 26:04Speaker 2: know it's going to be all right if it ends
- 26:06Speaker 2: up happening, if somehow a couple of bad calls give
- 26:10Speaker 2: the Chiefs the opportunity to win. I know the NFL
- 26:12Speaker 2: has been sounding off on this and saying there's no
- 26:15Speaker 2: it's ridiculous, it's absurd. I do get that, but we
- 26:18Speaker 2: have all seen it on the field. So I really
- 26:20Speaker 2: don't know how the two things can coexist. That it
- 26:24Speaker 2: is absurd, and it's also absurd that it seems to
- 26:28Speaker 2: be happening. Right. But anyway, in this century, every time
- 26:34Speaker 2: a Super Bowl has been played between two teams that
- 26:36Speaker 2: include one team traveling east and one traveling west. The
- 26:39Speaker 2: team traveling west has won. The Chiefs will be traveling
- 26:44Speaker 2: east for Super Bowl fifty nine and the Eagles will
- 26:48Speaker 2: be traveling west. So if you follow that logic, that
- 26:53Speaker 2: would be advantage Eagles. But in all of these other games,
- 27:00Speaker 2: they didn't all involve the Chiefs. And you know, I
- 27:05Speaker 2: saw a poor guy over the weekend wearing a Bill's
- 27:08Speaker 2: shirt and I I just saw him and I was like,
- 27:10Speaker 2: you guys got robbed. You got robbed like three times.
- 27:16Speaker 2: You absolutely got robbed. And he's like, I know, I know,
- 27:19Speaker 2: and he just shook his head and kind of stared
- 27:22Speaker 2: at the floor, and it's it's just sad that fan base, man,
- 27:27Speaker 2: they have been through so much. This could have been it,
- 27:30Speaker 2: This could have been their chance, and no got hosed
- 27:34Speaker 2: on it. Three bad calls at least three bad calls
- 27:36Speaker 2: in that game, I know. And it's a Chiefs fans
- 27:39Speaker 2: that it was a face mouse that didn't you. I
- 27:41Speaker 2: get it. There's bad calls in games. When the game's
- 27:44Speaker 2: on the line, and they even review the play and
- 27:46Speaker 2: get it wrong, that's when it's got at least go
- 27:49Speaker 2: what all right? That'll do it for this Thursday edition
