• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Oh what is going on? Welcome in here. We got
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: all kinds of stuff going on. We got sex toys
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: flying on courts and the WNBA still we have we
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: have Malon Militia, a knockdown, drag out fight that is
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: brewing between myself and Justin Cooper that will come your
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: way throughout the show this morning. And also we got ball, man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: We got ball all over the place. It's a month away,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and we get the NFL even shorter for college football.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: All kinds of stuff going on when it comes to ball.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Of course, rational thinking human beings consider ball to be football.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: So that's where we start right here. We start with
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about this with Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. Okay,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: so there was a video floating around of Caleb Williams
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: trying to throw a football into a net. Okay, so
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: they had like these three openings in the net, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you're trying to hit each opening, right. It kind of
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: if you have a shorter like a slot receiver, that's
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the shorter one. Then there's like a medium one. Then
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: there's like a taller one if you have dk Metcalf
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: or someone to throw to like that, you know, so
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: it's like small medium in large. So he's trying to
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: throw the ball through the net and he's missing, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: then he's missing again. Then he misses one more time,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: and then he's frustrated. And now all of a sudden,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: this is a thing. People are like, Oh, I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: know about this guy. Here we go again, Caleb Williams. No, no, no,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: there's actually a tweet so Scott Barrett, he covers fantasy football,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: and he tweeted it caught my attention. He tweeted, My
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: uncle just texted me this told you that nail polish
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: was a red flag. Like there are people that think
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: these things, like realistically think these things. And so I
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: started thinking about Caleb Williams, and I thought about it
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: from more of like a bigger level, more of like
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: a league wide level. Because Caleb Williams is incredibly scrutinized.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Right He's under the microscope. We're breaking down him throwing
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: a ball into a net, and this is a thing.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. But the question becomes when you expand it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: beyond Caleb Williams. Is Caleb Williams the most scrutinized NFL
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: quarterback right now? Is he at the top of the list?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And so I started thinking about quarterbacks around the league.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Who's on the short list as one of the most
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: scrutinized quarterbacks in the league right now? So I've got
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a few guys on my list. Guys are more than
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: willing to participate. Are more than welcome, I should say,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're willing, we'll find out, but
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you're more than welcome to participate. So on my short
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: list of most scrutinized NFL quarterbacks, let's define that first.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: We just pick on them at every everything they do.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: It's like the Police song. It's like when Sting said this,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that's right, We'll be watching everything you every little thing
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: you do. We're gonna be all over it. We're gonna
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: be scrutinizing it. We might make a bigger deal than
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: there needs to be made about it. But you better
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: believe we'll be watching everything and we might react to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: ninety five percent of those things. Right, So scrutinized, meaning
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: that under the microscope, Dak Prescott has to be on
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the short list. He's the quarterback of America's team and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: he hasn't had postseason success. Okay, so we follow everything
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Dak Prescott does, and he was banged up last year,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: only played eight games, But if he's behind center the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: whole season, long rest assured, he is going to be
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: incredibly scrutinized. Someone else that's still on this list. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: have to include Brock Purty, the Niners QB. Now, I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: said many times, the Purty Police. They are everywhere, Okay,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: the people, the defenders of Brock Purty. If you say
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: anything halfway critical about their guy, Brock Purty, they will
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: be lurking and just itching to make a citizen's arrest
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: if you slip up and say anything that's a little
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: bit too critical of their guy, Brock Purty. So there's
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: this back and forth thing with Brock Purdy and I don't.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: The weird thing is, I don't think many people just
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: flat out trash the guy. I think the most common
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: take of brock Purty is he's pretty good but and
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that's where we part. That's the fork in the road.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: But not a difference maker in terms of once you
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: pay him huge money, he's able to compensate for the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: deficiencies of the roster. Look, that's where the debate where
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: it lands.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Right there.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: I don't believe he is a difference maker. Now they
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: have to cut corners, they have to let some guys go,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: They've lost a lot of talent, and I'm supposed to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: sit here and expect brock Purty to take him to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the promised Land when he doesn't have as good of
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a supporting cast. I just don't believe it. But because
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: of that back and forth, that discussion where I say
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that and some other people think that and say that,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it's met with these who think he can do no
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: wrong and he's short changed and he's undersold, and he's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: not given his flowers and YadA ya. It goes back
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and forth. So he is incredibly scrutinized. I would say
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: a couple other quarterbacks on the short list of most
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: scrutinized right now and heading into this season, kind of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like where it stands right now and where I see
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: it going this season, you'd have to include I believe
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert and Trevor Lawrence. Now for the reasons why.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, He's had a lot of regular season success,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: just in that playoff wins, and there are a lot
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: of people that hammer him for that, and justifiably, so
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: you gotta step up in the postseason. You gotta produce,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you gotta win games. Trevor Lawrence, he was supposed to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: be the best prospect since Andrew Luck number one overall pick.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I thought he was going to be a baller. He
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: has not been a baller or anything close to that
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: while he's been in the NFL. And it's go time now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Now he's got Leam Cohen as a competent head coach,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: at least a competent offensive mind. Brian Thomas Junior had
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a fantastic rookie season as a wide receiver. Now he
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: gets Travis Hunter. It's like the excuses are over. It's
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: go time. But everything that Trevor Lawrence does, especially if
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he's not performing to the level that we thought he
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: would reach, especially at this point. He gets hammered for that,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and again rightfully so. But he's scrutinized heavily, and I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: would argue as he should be. He's a former number
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: one overall pick. We we're like best prospects since Andrew
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Luck and he hasn't come close to living up to that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I would also include in these are more like the
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: honorable mentioned guys. Two more on my list of most scrutinized,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: and we'll whittle it down to the most scrutinized quarterback
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in the league right now. I would mention Aaron Rodgers
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: as kind of like an honorable mentioned guy. He's gonna
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: be scrutinized quite a bit. And I would say he's
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: more like the Jerry Jones of athletes, meaning he finds
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a way to keep himself in the spotlight. Maybe it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a hit on the Pat McAfee show, or he says
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: something the spotlight. He's like, oh wait, the spotlight's going
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: away from me. Let's change that. Let's put right back
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: on me, right back on number twelve, Right back on
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. All right, So, like we're going to be
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: fixated on what Aaron Rodgers does and doesn't do this season.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be, you know, top of
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the league scrutiny because we don't realistically think the Steelers
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: are going to challenge to win a Super Bowl. Right, So,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: if we had those sky high expectations and he's underperforming
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: or living up to them, like, he's gonna be scrutinized
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: and talk about, like talked about like crazy. But because
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: we don't, I don't really think that. I think that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: gonna you know, lower the scrutiny just a little bit.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: But he's still gonna be one of those guys that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: were fixated on. And I would also say another honorable mention.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I would say Lamar Jackson. Now this is primarily because
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: of the playoffs. I don't think he's a highly scrutinized
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: player in the regular season because, look, Lamar produces. Lamar
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: has been incredibly productive. He's a two time MVP. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: think he should have been a three time MVP. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: thought his season was that special last year, and so
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: what's there to say? What's there to scrutinize with Lamar
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: in the regular season? He's productive, He's a team guy, right,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: like I love Lamar in the regular season. My only
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: beef with Lamar is he wets himself time and time
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: again in the playoffs. And so that's why I say
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: he's honorable mention. There's not a whole lot of scrutiny
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: in the regular season because he wins a ton, he's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: highly productive. What's there to pick on? But that debate
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: rolls around when the playoffs git here. So of these
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: guys at least on my list, and hey, you're more
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: than welcome to compare notes with me. If you have
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: anybody else that I didn't mention and you want to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: make the argument for the most scrutinized guy, feel free.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: So of these guys that I have, whittle it down
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to five guys most scrutinized short list, So I would
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: have Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, brock Perdy, Justin Herbert, and
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. Of those guys, who's the most scrutinized guy,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: you know who it is right now? It is Caleb Williams.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is the most scrutinized NFL quarterback right now. Again,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: we're breaking down a video of him throwing footballs into
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a net, as if that matters at all. There's a
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: follow up video where he's just he's making each throw
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: just money into the same right on the money, right
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: on the money, right on the money. Perfect. No one cares.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: It's all about the one video where he missed a
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: few and then he was upset about it. It's insane,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: right Like it goes back to his college days where
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: he cried in his mother's arms after they walked lost
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to I think it was Washington. It was this emotional
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: back and forth game. You know they're not gonna make
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: it to the National Championship Games, emotional moment. He cried,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: big deal, guy cares and he paints his fingernails, as
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: if that matters at all. This is insane to me.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: This is like Andy Dalton territory. You're gonna be like,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: what what does that mean? So when Andy Dalton was
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: coming out of TCU, I didn't realize this was a thing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: There are people who will throw it out there where
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: they're like, well, you know, we haven't had a whole
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: lot of ginger quarterbacks that have had success in this league, right,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Like Andy Dalton has red hair, and so people are like,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: whoa I you know, I can't buy Andy Dalton because
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: of the red that to me is in a similar
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: category as Caleb Williams painting his fingernails. I don't think
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: it matters at all, but there are many people who do.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing that is the ultimate sign of
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: being overly scrutinized, when people point to that as if
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: it matters, as if it's like, oh, yeah, I told
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: you this guy is not gonna live up to being
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a number one overall draft pick. I mean, he cried
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: in his mother's arms, he paints his fingernails. Look at
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: this throwing the ball into the net video. See there
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: you go. Three things. No, that's just being overly scrutinized.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: And when he was such a lightning rod for opinions
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: right like he was polarizing. Everybody had an opinion on
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams at USC and that's just trickled into Caleb
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Williams in the NFL. And I think that some of
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: this is his fault. This is story that went was
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of months ago right where seth Wickers. He's
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: got a book coming out here fairly soon talking about quarterbacks.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: He had some juicy details in the book there was
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: some excerpts that were released that we're talking about Caleb
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Williams didn't initially want to be drafted by the Bears,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and it was Caleb and his inner circle, Caleb's dad.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: They're just giving quotes to Seth Wickersham like yeah, didn't
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: really want to go there, and it's like, what what
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: are you guys doing? Why would you say this? This
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: is something you say years down the road after a
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: lot of success in the NFL, either your team wins
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: a ton of games, you produce, you put up all
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: these numbers, a lot of success, and then it's like, oh, yeah,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: by the way, initially I didn't even want to be
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: drafted by the Bears. And it's just like a fun
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: fact at that point, like really, no kidding, you didn't
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: want to go there, not after a rookie year where
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you struggle. That's a terrible idea. So I think that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: he's done himself a disservice by being a little bit
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: too lippy, because some people do that, they overshare. You know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: we're in the day of day and age of Hey,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: I just ate a ham sandwich for you know, lunch,
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: and we're like cool, No one cares it's over sharing.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: That was Caleb Williams over sharing moment right there. So
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: sometimes he adds to the scrutiny that's already sky high.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I do. I think he's the most scrutinized NFL quarterback
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: right now. I think it's Caleb Williams. Here's the question
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I would ask, what other quarterback has been scrutinized as
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: heavily for something as dumb as Caleb Williams. What quarterback
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: has been scrutinized as much for Caleb Williams missing a
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: couple of throws into a net and then being upset
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: about it. Who's the guy? It doesn't exist? Right's not
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: there in the NFL. We aren't picking on another quarterback
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: quite as much. He is the most scrutinized guy. That'd
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: be my my argument for Caleb Williams.

  Speaker 3: most of that one still is just as stuck in
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: my brain, you know. But every now and then you'll
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: see someone do karaoke and they think they know the
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: song and they get up there and they know like
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the song.
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: You know, different when the pressure is on you too.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. That's true. But especially for rap songs, Coop, Like,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: there are so many lyrics in a rap song where
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: there's there's not one line where you're like, oh shoot,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I forgot that one, you know what I mean.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure I could do cleaning out my Closet.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Uh, we should do that? Can we play it? And
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: you just say what he says.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Let me pull up my closet song.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Hold on, Oh yeah's it song. Let's try it. Let's
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: see if you really do know this or not?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Coop, I don't want to do this.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Come on, We're not gonna use this against you. That
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be like I think you. I think you got
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a fighting chance. But you know, I'm skeptical. There are
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: just so many lyrics, and you got to know them
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: on time. You know, it's not easy.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: Are you guys ready?
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: We're ready? You're ready, Coop? That's the question. You You
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: don't have to do your eminem impression. You have to
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: say it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: You know, where's my snare? I've got no snare on
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: my headphones? Headphone there.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I didn't know you were gonna get that right too. Man,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: you're on top of it. Yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: I have.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: I've been protested and demonstrated against picket signs for my
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: wicked rhymes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Look at the signs. Sick of the mind. Off the
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: mother kid that's behind all this commotion.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: The emotion run deepest oceans, exploding tempers, flamoring from parents.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Just blow them off and keep going, not taking nothing
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: from no one, give them how long and some breathing,
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: keep kicking nass in the morning and taking names in
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: the evening. The taste of sour is vinegar in they mouth.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: So they can trigger me, but you'll never figure me out.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: Look at me now, I bet you're probably sick of me. Now,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: ain't your mama. I'm gonna make you look so ridiculous.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Pretty good? Pretty good? Okay, all right, all right, vere
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and one part I just ran out of breath.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I don't blame you, dude. Yeah, Like, so you're gonna
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: do like the really hard part of rap. God you
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: know where he's doing.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I can't. I can't do that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Good luck. That's pretty good, man. There's just I'm just
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: saying a lot of lyrics, a lot of stuff, like
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of opportunities to forget a line or a word.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good, Coop. I think you're nicely done.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I'm glad I remembered the lyrics.
• 20:21
  Speaker 9: Especially on the spot like that ten out of ten, Coop,
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: because like.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Metallica is sort of like our common ground, right, Coop.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: A lot of it, And I'm telling you there are
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of songs that you know, I would think
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I would know every lyric, and I guarantee you that's wrong.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, same for me with with Metallica too, and
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I guarantee you there are certain songs where I think
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: I know the lyric and that's not the lyric at all.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like, I'm singing something completely wrong.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: It happens a lot. Well, you know me, I'm a
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: metal guy primarily, not only, not solely, but primarily. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: you know, I'll be on Spotify and every now and
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: then I'll just click on the lyrics and I'll like
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: follow them along and I'm like, hold, I didn't I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: was I was wrong this whole time. I've listened to
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: that song hundreds of times and I never bothered to
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: just check if I was right or not. And I
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: was saying something that was wrong the whole time. Yeah,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: welcome to metal. You know who knew that could happen?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I like that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Well, so what's the next one, Lorrainer? What was the
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: song that you mentioned? We carry yoking? That one too? Delicious?
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if the world needs come on,
• 21:36

  Speaker 3: I don't want you to be practicing, and you know
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I'll be back, Coop. I got to run in the
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: bathroom real fast and you're just practicing.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, I'll just I'll just do it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Hold on, okay, all right, all right, very good.
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: This was like middle school days for me, like out

• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I want to hear, you know, cleaning up my closet
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the karaoke version next time you're on stage, Coop. That
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: was very well done. Oh this scares me? Are there
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of cuss words in this one?
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Lorena?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
• 22:37
  Speaker 9: Hold on, this is a horrible version of delicious.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, you got to be in your zone here. It's
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: not going to work.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: She already got a hint on the first couple of lyrics.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: No, no, his part is not my part al right,
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: that's right, Yeah for sure.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: So you don't know every lyric to the song.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Just just Fergies, Yeah, you know Fergie's that's.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: The part, right, Okay, listen, y'all, Chris, this is don't
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: be slicious for delicious definition.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Make them boys go local. They just so they get
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: them plashes from my photo.
• 23:16
  Speaker 9: You can see me.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: You kiss please me. I'm easy, scy I got reasons why.
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: Some boys just come and go like seasons for delicious.
• 23:25
  Speaker 9: Look at this, you sin if you are suspicious, all
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: that is fictitious. I'll blow kisses. That puts them boys
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: on rock rock and they be lying down the block
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: just to watch what I got.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look at the talent on this show. My gosh.
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: Technically I technically did mess up on the first part
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: because I started singing the second verse instead of the
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: first one.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: But they're both great.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Guys are so underpaid until it gets to the fast
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: part even more impressive. Yeah, I want to hear that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: The round always looking me up and down. Look at him.
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: I just want to say you now, I am trying
• 24:02
  Speaker 9: to round up drum a little mama. I don't want
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: to take a man, and I know I'm coming off
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: just a little bit conceited, and I keep on repeating
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: how the boys want to eat up. But I'm trying
• 24:08
  Speaker 9: to tell that it can't be treated like clientele because
• 24:11
  Speaker 9: they say she delicious vicious.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: It made me think of the part in the movie
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: where the Miller's you know, that comedy with Jason Zakis.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: And they like pay people to be his family.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: So they can Yeah, yeah, right, yes, the border. But
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: the boy in like the fake family knows waterfalls like
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: way too much, and everyone's looking at him like, what
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: the hell does he know all all these lyrics, you
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Yeah, that's what it made me
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: think of. But very nicely done. Wow, I think it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: only fair. It's your turn. Yeah, I throw on some
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Lamb of God before me real fast. That's the thing,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: because it won't sound right if I'm just like literally
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: saying because I can't. I can't do Coop's metal voice.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Like Coop he greets me every time, and you can
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: attest to this lorrena whenever I chime in right like
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I connect for the fill in shift, and Coop will
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: just be like, what in this metal voice? And I'm like,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: it's perfect, Coop. You need to be on stage somewhere, man,
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: that is so metal right there. I like, I can't
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: sing like that. I can't do that, like from the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: throat type stuff. I can't yell like that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know how long I would be able to
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: do it for Like you know, I say, I say
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: what up?
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I don't job that. Yeah, I don't know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: yeah right, yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: But the man, metal is a different it's a different
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: ballgame right there. To keep up with those guys, I
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: couldn't do it. I could say the lyrics you know,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: on time, but I couldn't. I couldn't do him in
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: a metal voice. Yeah, I don't know often, man, I
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: don't know a metal song off the top of my head.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't know Ruin. I'll tell you right now, I
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: won't know all the lime of it. Ten. Thank you.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Let me think, let me let me look at Spotify,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: let me look at something. Let me look at my
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: my Spotify list, and uh, I'm sure there are many songs.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's like some Metallica songs I would know
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: front and back.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: What about you got any Shakira songs you could do?
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Front and back? Dua lipa for sure? There we go.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: They're playing dua in the gym today. Lorena is very fun. Uh,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: you know what, I shazammed it? It was let me see.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you real quick. You know she's a very
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: tall woman. She is a very tall woman at a
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: skying five eight. That Shakira over there or that dual
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: leap over there.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Shakira is not a tall woman.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: How tall is Shakira?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I think she's like five to one, isn't she? Wow?
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, but no, they don't. Still they don't training season.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That was the duo lipa song that they played at
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: the gym today. Good song. I didn't know it by name.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I don't even think I know that song.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: You definitely know it, but you don't know it by name.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I guarantee you know this song, but I'm like, that's
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: the title of it. Had no idea. But yeah, I
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: couldn't do that one. Yeah, let me let me report
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: back to you. Okay, let me. I'm not gonna cheat.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: This is a non cheating show. But I'll look for
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: a metal song and just kind of like recite the
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: lyrics if you will. Oh, I know, a good one
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: would be Ah Didtohead from Slayer. Because he's going so fast,
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: that'd be a good one. He's like here in nineteen
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: ninety four, things are different than before. Final just won't

  Speaker 3: there's a clean version of that. We can dump it
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: if needed. Okay, uh, yeah, no, that'd be a good one. Yeah,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: let me know if you can find that one eight
• 28:02

  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: I can't see a clean version, but let's see what
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: the scott.
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's okay, Yeah, break it up.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: We're good now now I don't know. Yeah, then we're

  Speaker 3: safe now for a little bit until the Yeah, until
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: the next person.
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: Here's me.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: It's okay, let it go, Let it go. Finance was
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: a weirdore invictation to the game guns and played to
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: meet the fame every day more the same murder maya
• 28:41

• 28:47
  Speaker 3: you to regret. Tom's the best, okay to regret. Tom's
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: all high. You know, he's a high voice. Right, yeah,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: but oh Slayer's got some great stuff. Good.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, so why doesn't the NBA handle trade requests like
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the NFL does. A trade request in the NFL is
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: mostly met with yeah, no, we're not trading you. A
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: trade request in the NBA is often met with Okay,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: no problem, we'll get YadA here. For the most part,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: that's how it goes. This trade request from Micah Parsons,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: star pass rusher from the Dallas Cowboys, he had this
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: long post on X and went into great detail of Hey,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: you know, my dad and I grew up Cowboy fans.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately I don't want to be here any longer. YadA, YadA.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Went into great detail, and some of it makes a
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: lot of sense where Jerry Jones has made some statements
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: publicly where it's just it's just a stupid way to
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: approach things. When he's talking about, you know, hey, Michael Parsons,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: he missed six games last season, which wasn't even true.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: He missed four games last season, and Mike Hah took
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: exception to that. So Jerry Jones has done a terrible
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: job handling this situation, and so I can completely understand
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: how a lot of it would rub Michael Parsons the
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: wrong way. I think it's recency biased more than anything.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I can understand you. You're ticked off, you're not getting
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: your money, get me out of here. Some of that
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: might be real. I think most of it is just
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: a negotiating tactic. That's your leverage. That's what you're trying
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: to do to get a deal done, try to get
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: it going. But the point, the first part of this
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: is the NFL. Oftentimes, so many times a trade request
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: has happened from the player and it's met with this.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Here's Jerry Jones. Gerry, are you considering trading Michael Parsons.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not, no, not not really no, not thinking about that.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: They're a little more from Jerry Jones.
• 31:11
  Speaker 10: Don't lose in sleepover. So just to be one thing
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: I would say to our fan, don't lose in sleepover.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Okay, so as far as the negotiation goes, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: don't lose any sleep. He's basically saying, don't freak out,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: like Michael Parsons is going somewhere else, like just don't
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: lose any sleep over there, so again not taking it seriously.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Here's the head coach, Brian Schottenheimer his thoughts on, uh,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: does he expect Michael Parsons to be there?
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: I expect Michael to be here?
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, expects Michael even though he made this trade request
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: and went into great detail. Unfortunately, I don't want to
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: be here any longer, not buying any of it. Then
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: he's also detailing where he expects Mike gonna line up
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: this next season.
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: We're still planning on moving Mike around and putting him
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: in all the spots that we see him and using
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: our fronts the way we want to see it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: So like, there's no teeth to this trade request at all.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Has absolutely no teeth to it at all. And and
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys are not freaking out, like, oh, we better
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: get this deal done. We're not gonna have Micah Parsons.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, settled down, everything's fine, don't lose any sleep.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: We're not thinking of trading him. And shot he's like, actually,
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm thinking about where I'm gonna line him
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: up this next season. We'll have him a little bit
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: at you know, linebacker. We'll have him at rush and well,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: you don't move him around a little bit. Here he's
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: game planning with Micah like the furthest thing from his
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: mind is Micah not being there. And so that to
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: me is it's a huge difference between the way the
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: NFL handles these things and the way the NBA does.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know why more NBA teams don't do what
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: NFL teams do. A star NBA player is like, I
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: want to be traded. Why don't more teams just say no,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: we're not trading you, Like you're too valuable to us.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: We're not gonna get equal value, So no, that's not
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: on the table. Why don't they just say no? Now,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: there have been times where star players will force their
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: way out, you know, and NBA teams buckle. I just
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: don't think NFL teams would buckle the same way that
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: NBA teams do. We've had stories where, you know, fat
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: James Harden, he was with Houston at the time, wanted
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: out and he was gaining all this weight and wasn't
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: even trying when he was out there on the court,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: clearly forcing the rocket's hand, and they eventually buckled and
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: moved him. There was a Jimmy Butler has done this
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: a couple of times in Minnesota, most recently with Miami Heat.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: We're just forcing his way out. He's getting kicked out
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: of practice. He's just he's forcing his way out. It's
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: going to happen, and the organization just buckles and does it.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I'm just surprised, and I wouldn't look at the two
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: leagues as completely polar opposites. I don't like, I don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: know why a team in the NBA wouldn't try to
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: do this and just say, hey, you know, we're not
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: moving him. The Cowboys haven't even said, well, we appreciate
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: where Mike's coming from, we get it. Blah blah blah.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: They're just like, yeah, no, not on the table, not
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: thinking about trading him. And there's just no teeth to this.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You see Micah Parsons at practice, still in his number
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: eleven Cowboys Jersey. Nothing quite says I'm out of here,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: like I'm still here. That's like saying I'm out of
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: this relationship. We are freaking done, and then you like
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: go to the cheesecake factory with that person later that night.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not saying you're out of here. At all,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: So he's not going anywhere. But you see this time
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: and time again in the NFL. You've seen it just
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: in the last year. My Garrett with the Browns, he
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: requested a trade and the next thing you know, he
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: got this huge new contract and he didn't go anywhere.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: The team was like, no, we're not thinking about moving him.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Same thing with t Higgins with the Bengals. He requested
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: a trade and they gave him the money and he's
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: still a Cincinnati Bengal. I think it's gonna happen with
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: all three of these guys, Trey Hendrickson with the Bengals,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin with the Commanders, and Micah Parsons with the Cowboys.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I think all three of those guys are going to
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: get extensions and are still going to play for their
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: current teams. I don't see any of them moving on
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: and going elsewhere. And you could argue that, you know,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: when you think of the NBA situations where some players
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: request a trade, maybe some of them would be appeased
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: if they got this huge new contract extension and they're like,
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'll stay, I'm not gonna go elsewhere. Yeah. Maybe,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: but you know, as well as I do. The batting
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: average right for trade requests from NBA players, especially stars,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: it's a high batting average, they request a trade, they
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: typically get moved. And the NFL these teams are just like, yeah, no,
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: not like, listen to Jerry again.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Jerry, are you considering trading Michael Parsons?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: I'm not just come right out and say I'm not
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: even thinking about it.
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: No.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: And now the other part of this is this is
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: so clunky from the Cowboys. It's so unnecessary and just
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: so dumb. It's like, I feel like I'm losing time
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: and energy with this whole thing. And I'm not even
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: a Cowboys fan. This whole thing is just obnoxious. They're
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: gonna pay Micah, it's gonna be a huge contract, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: they're gonna look back and be like, what was all
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: that about? What money did you save? What time and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: effort did you gain? Like, where's the gain here? By
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: dragging this out and then giving a huge contract extension
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: to Micah Parsons. This is so unnecessary. The drama of
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: this hole back and forth is so avoidable. And the Cowboys,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: yet again, I don't know if it's just for headlines,
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: it's for clicks. It's for attention. They love dragging this
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: out and paying more money than they would have to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: had they extended the player earlier. It's so dumb and
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: now we get Hey, is Mica going to be ready
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: for the first game of the year against the Eagles?
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Listen to this. This was earlier, I think on Tuesday.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Check this out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: Get any confident he will be on the stead against
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: the again, No, absolutely not. That has to a big
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: part of that is his decision. How about I know that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, we don't know if he's going to be in
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: uniform against the Eagles. All right, makes some sense. Now
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: this is the part. Listen to this answer. This is
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: the clunkiest, most random answer from Jerry Jones. Just listen,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: sit back in and enjoy. Does he essentially need to
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: reach out to you?
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: Again, y'all are getting in the h what's in the
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: mind and what's in the said? Uh, this is a
• 38:11
  Speaker 10: good time. He's a subject matter where of is what
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: it is is what it is, and uh uh we've
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: we'll work through it or we will not work through it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, right, it's a legitimate question like does he need
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: to reach out to you? And I don't know, Jerry
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: just thought that he was asking something else, I guess,
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I would expect this to get worked out.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: This is just the scenic route that's totally unnecessary. This
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: is the worst scenic route possible, you know what I mean.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Like if you're just sitting on the four oh five
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: in LA and you're like, I just don't want to
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: sit in traffic, Let's take the streets. And instead of
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: taking the scenic route, and you're like, all right, let's
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: let's go to pH you know, let's go the long way.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: They're like, I'm gonna take this scenic route. And it's
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: the worst. It's the worst idea ever. It's the worst
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: streets that it doesn't save you any time. The stoplights
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: are backed up like crazy. That's basically what the cowboys
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: are doing with this whole negotiation. It's the scenic route
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: that doesn't help at all. It actually delayed you an
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: hour longer on your commute, and it was much more tedious, annoying,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: and just cost you that much more energy. That's where
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: they are, That's where they seem to always be. But
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: it's another chapter in the book of what should have
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: been avoided. But seldomly is. That's the cowboys, man, that's
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: how they get down again. They did this with CD LAMB,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, Zach Zach Martin, Like they
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: just drag it out and then give them huge money.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: And you're like that that was pretty dumb. That was
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: dumb right there, and the cowboys are like, yeah, maybe,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: but it's kind of fun right and we're like, no,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: it is that fun at all. It was really stupid.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: It's actually what it was
