  Speaker 1: I filled out my college football playoff bracket. That's part
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of the Bracket challenge on Fox Sports Radio. This sounds
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like a commercial, but I'm really talking to you right now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Like I filled out my bracket and I got a
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: little little bit radical. Now, Coop, I know you're not
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: big into college football, right Are you gonna fill out
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a bracket? You're gonna do this thing on Fox Sports Radio?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: At least?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, look, I couldn't even tell
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you you. I could. I could tell you like three
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: or four teams that are in.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Wow, you're all over it. Huh yeah, yeah, you're you're
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: very fired up like this. So we got games on Wednesday.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: We got well one playoff game on Wednesday, and then
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we have the other three playoff games on Thursday. So
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: New Year's Eve then New Year's Day. I'm very fired
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: up for it, looking forward to it, Coop. So you
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: could name who were the three teams?
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: You could name Indiana yep, uh, Ohio State yep, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: uh oh.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: This is so much better than breaking the games that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I prefer this way more. This is good, all right?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Not not Notre Dame. Oh wow?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, to go there, that is. I can't wait
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to troll you about your broncos. You know what, all
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: bets are off with that comment. As soon as the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: boat Nicks throws a pick. Oh, I'm blowing you up.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: He wasn't specific towards you. I just know that was
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: a big story.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that's just the top of mine.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It was. I got you, yeah, no, and no problem,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with me. Okay, not Notre Dame. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: we got Iu, Ohio State, not Notre Dame, Miami, Miami.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. It works. You said three,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you got three? Very good. I went upset City, Coop.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I went with Miami, getting a little radical here. I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: went with Miami to beat Ohio State, and some people
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: are gonna look at me like, bro, what are you?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about right now? Now? Listen, I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: don't like Carson Beck at all. I think Carson Beck,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the Miami quarterback, wets himself far too often and he
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: could easily throw three interceptions without even thinking about it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So this could be a horrible pick as it turns out.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But Miami has a handful of things going for itself.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: They have real offensive uh and defensive linemen. They've got
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: real NFL talent right when you can rush the passer.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And Julian say in was he looked like Jared Goff
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in the Big Ten Championship game. Like Jared Goff is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a really good quarterback except when he's facing a pass rush,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and then he turns into a freaking terrible quarterback. Is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: what happens with Jared Goff. And that's what Julian Saying
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: did when he was facing a good IU pass rush,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he had no answers. He looked like a completely different quarterback.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Guess what Miami could do. They could put heat on
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the opposing quarterback. And so I wouldn't be surprised if
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Ohio State isn't that productive offensively. I love their talent.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I love Carnell Tate, I love Jeremiah Smith. I love
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: everything that they bring to the table. The running game
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is just okay, and Miami's good against the rush as well.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how many points Ohio State is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: gonna score. I don't think they're gonna just open it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: up and just open a can against Miami. I don't
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: see that happening. I think Miami's defense is too good,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and I also think as good as Ohio State's defense is,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I do think with Miami's offensive line, they're gonna get
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the running game working to a respectable degree. And if
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: good Carson Beck shows up, I know we always look
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: at him. Listen, he threw four interceptions against Louisville. He
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: was freaking off. He was brutal, and he has the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: capability of being brutal again. But he's played a ton
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of college games, and there are times where he has
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: looked fantastic, especially at Georgia when he had guys like
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Brock Bauers and Lad McConkey. Now in the NFL, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: know that helped out quite a bit. But he has
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: looked really good at times. I think he's capable, even
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: against the Ohio State defense, of just pulling a shocker
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of a performance where you're like, WHOA, didn't see that coming,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Carson Beck, I actually in the bracket challenge, I think
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you do have to get a little bit outside the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: box because there are so many competitors in this thing
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: where if you just go chalk and you go standard picks,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna win it. I think you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: got to. You gotta go little radical and pull a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: couple of upsets at least call for him. I have
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Miami beating Ohio State. Now, I love them, plus the points.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I do love the Canes plus the points.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Well, in case people aren't sure what you're talking about, Brian, Yeah.
• 5:17

• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, let me see.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Like an ice cream bracket.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta make like seven picks. I think it's right
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: from this stage, you gotta make seven picks. That's it. Seven,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: that's all.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I think you gotta go a little bit outside the box.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: I might need help.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Uh, definitely fade Bama, definitely do. I can't wait I'll
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: tell you what. I can't wait. You know how Bart
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Scott said it went can't wait. I'm Bart Scott right now.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until I you just drops the hammer
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on Bama. I am gonna love it. I'm gonna be
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a pig and slop when that happens. Bama is so fugazy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: They are such a fools gold Team. I say these
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: things on the Saturday Countdown show and my co hosts,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: my gosh, they turn into a pack of wolverines. They
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: turn into Barracudah's on me. It is roll tied rich
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: and Bama Jama Jared is what I call it. They
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: turn they act like they've got instead of like thug life.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You know Tupac had that on the stomach, right, It's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like they have roll Tide tattooed on their stomachs. They
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: turn into hyenas, They turned into crazy people. And I say,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Alabama is so fools gold Man. I take nothing away
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: from them what they've done this season. They've won eleven
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: games and they've had a lot of success. They've had
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: some setbacks along the way as well, like getting crushed
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: by Florida State, who won two games in the ACC
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they got crushed by Georgia in the SEC Championship game
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven, so they've had some hiccups along
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the way. They lost at home, out gaining Oklahoma by
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: almost two hundred yards because Oklahoma sucks, and they still
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: lost that game. So I don't buy Bama at all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: They can't run the ball whatsoever. They're overly reliant on
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, who's as of late skittish, a little bit
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: too inaccurate, inconsistent. Their defense is test okay, they have
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: no pass rush. Fernando Mendoza is gonna do the degeneration
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: X sucket sign to them all night, Like right, you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: call that defense Bama? Oh, I can't wait. I can't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: wait for Indiana to just freaking crush Bama.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna love it. I Am gonna absolutely love it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: So that's my advice. Uh, Lorena is a fade Bama,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: pick Iu over Alabama. That's my advice.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think I'm getting made fun of right now. Why
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I just no context at all. I just received a
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: text from Roberto Flores. Oh, just a laughing emoji, the
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: skull emojiing a laughing emoji?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Is he laughing at me?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: For not knowing the teams that are in the.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: The oh man, it might be. It might be. Is
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Roberto a college football guy? Is he a fan?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I didn't think so, but I mean, yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I know he's all over baseball. Man. You know what,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, the one thing I think about Roberto the most,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it's him cracking on the NBA Cup. So like, we
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: just had the the inserts in season tournament in college
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, and it's stupid. He's so right, it's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: so dumb, man. I love how you know, like Barkley's like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this is dumb, what are we doing? But the first
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: year people were behind it. They're like, it's kind of fun.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's a little different, you know, the courts are weird,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: like I kind of like. And then it took one
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: year and people are like, this is just kind of dumb.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Roberto thought. That was the dumbest
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: thing from the get go. You remember that Coop he
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was fully I always think of Roberto when the NBA
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Cup rolls around and how much he hates that idea.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: So that stuck with me over the years.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: You just explained that he was laughing at me clowning
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: on Notre.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Dame oh man. And then and then you try to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: play it off like no, no, no, no, I just
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I just remember that was a big story, like yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: no job, but that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Was like the biggest story of the you know, the
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: the seating then.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah it was.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: It was a huge story. But I know better than
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that where you're not just talking about news and you're like, oh,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this would be a good time to needle you in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the freaking forehead. No, like I know you Coop, don't
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: give me that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: You do it to me every week. No, even even
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: when the Broncos are winning. Every single week they win
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: and you've got something to say.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'll tell you now here's the that's it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: pretty funny. Oh man, your team. I can't wait for
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: your two. I don't know if I want Bama to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: get kicked in the teeth more or the Broncos. I
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: don't know, Like it's definitely Bama, but like, I just
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: don't buy your team, man. And it's like bo Nix
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: is just he's okay, he's nothing like outstanding.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know how many records he needs to set
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: or or you know, the first ever to do this
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and that before people start giving him the respect that
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: he deserves.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like the three air yards per pass, like
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: like it was just dice. It was just throwing the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: ball downfield against the Chiefs, And like that's the thing, man,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Like some of these stats and some of these records,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: it's like you gotta read between the lines. Sean Payton's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: giving him these silver platter reads and easy completions. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want to take all credit away from him.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying some of these records and things, these
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: accolades that he's getting, it's like, bro, it's like it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: sounds way fancier than it actually is. That's all I'm saying.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take all credit away from it. It
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: just sounds way fancier than it actually is.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you can't discount all of them, Brian.
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: I'm not.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I'm not.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not. You could you could put whatever
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I see these stats about touchdown passes and okay, we
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: could put bow knicks and his touchdown passes, you know,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like what they've actually been some some have been great
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: throws downfield, some have been threading the needle, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: like tough throws. I'm not saying all of them are easy,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: but there have been quite a few that are very easy. Right,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Like he uses Sean Payton uses the passing game, the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: short the quick passing game as an extension of the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: running game.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Because I mean, wasn't I mean, wasn't that basically Tom
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Brady's entire career. No, it's just being being accurate on
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: on short passes gaining ten, you know, yards at a time.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: That was that?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: That was a lot of Tom Brady.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, was it a big portion of it?
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Sure?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Was it? Like all of it?
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: Was it?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The Tom either bow Nix relies on the short passing
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: game a lot, like you can't have three air yards
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: averaged per like per attempt to get the come what
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: are we doing? He threw one pass over ten yards
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. It's like Sean Payton. It just tells
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: me you don't fully trust bow Nicks. You're you're safe,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, he might do something dumb. That's what
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it tells me.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna find some stats to blow up
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that argument.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Right now, man, I definitely am. I'm in the market
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: for some bow Nicks stats. I want to hear this
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I do. It'll be good. But lorraina fade Alabama is
• 13:34

• 15:19
  Speaker 5: But I waste so much food when I cook.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, not proficient with the cooking. Is that what
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you're telling me?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: I'm a great cook.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: How do you waste a lot of food while you're
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: cooking if you're a great cook?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Well, because it always comes out in big portions. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: I'm a little person who doesn't eat much. So then
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: I got lots of leftovers that I don't eat.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, I get it. I totally understand.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Better to just go get a kid's meal, you know, yeah,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: or I get the mini sub.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: This is why I'm twenty pounds heavier. Than when when
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Lorena started working here.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, it's just it's Lorena finished this. You know that.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: That's her nickname is Fear finished this. Yes, yeah, I
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: got it. I understand it. You know, what does cat
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: think about this, coop?
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: What does she think about my weight gain?
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: What does she think about this weight game? The is
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like the Freshman fifteen. This is the FSR fifteen. This
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: is the Lorena fifteen. Is what we're talking about here.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: You know this this happened actually the other day is
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: a good she Lorena brought in fat sALS a sandwich.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: It was like it was called the fat Pilgrim.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, right, yeah, and.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: It's a sandwich with you know, turkey stuffing, stuffing, gravy, gravy,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: cranberry sauce, sweet potato fries.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: The sandwich with all that. Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: And I had already eaten dinner, and I just I
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: texted my I texted my wife. I was like, oh,
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm about to eat a half of a fat
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Salas sandwich.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: And she's like, no, don't do that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: And I, oh, I'm telling you after it already happened,
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: like I'm about to finish it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: It's I'm not debating it. I'm eighty percent right, right, Yeah, yeah.
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: I just think it's crazy that he blames me for
• 17:12
  Speaker 9: his lack of self control.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I don't like food being wasted.
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: It wouldn't be wasted.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: You could take it home and eat it later.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I guess that's a fair.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: That's true. It's a valid point, it's absolutely true.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I think I got there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: I think you should blame your weight gain on your
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: bagels you eat every day.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: I think that's much more. It's much worse than what
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I feed you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I just don't get the bagel thing, Coop, I don't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: understand it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Listen, you're not stop it. We're like so many.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: People love bagels. I don't get it. I don't know why.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would be team bagels over
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: team donuts. It literally makes noes. It makes less sense
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: than the NFL's playoff format. I have no idea why
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you would do that with your life. Donuts are so
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: much better than bagels. Why would you be like I
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: feel like a bagel today? Why why give me icing
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on a delicious doughnut every single time over bagels?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta dress it up. We gotta get spread
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: on it. We gotta Yeah, you gotta dress it up
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: because it's terrible on its own. That that's that's welcome
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to the world of bagels. That's what I think.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Well, you have a terrible palette.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna eat some pecan Sandy's and then
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds from now, it's what I'm going.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: That's the reason I'm going to a grocery store today
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: is I get some pecan Sandy's.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: There you go, see, we got you there. We got
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to the grocery store. Training Day, Training Day. That's right.
• 18:42

• 18:46

• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the next month, what would it be? And I without hesitation?
• 18:50

• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He was he was doing this movie, this Mario Van
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Peeples movie, and I had no cash. I was still
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: living in LA I was doing extra work and so
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I was an extra and whatever this film was, I
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: have no idea. We're at the beach somewhere in LA like,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know where we were. And I saw Terry Crews.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I just started talking to him because he was just
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: in the like the last Friday movie whatever it's called,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like Friday three, whatever the title is, I'm not sure
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: what it is. And they had a beautiful girl in
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that movie. And that's what I was talking to him about, like, man,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that girl is hot. And he looks at me, he
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: goes man, she can't act, And I was like, really,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: he goes man. They would give her her lines and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: be like action and she would forget her lines every time.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Like it was just funny. Man, he was really good. Yeah,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: he was great. Terry Crews, shout out to him. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: was awesome, very nice. All right, we got a lot
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to get to eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: That would be your phone number. Some people want to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: check in. Oh, oh, I've got a thought. Someone wants
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to check in on Pooka Nakula. I have a Puoka
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: thought for you. And there was one thing that happened
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: during Monday Night football that if it shook out slightly differently,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: we would have been barted. We would have been bombarded
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: with a really bad take that a lot of people
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: subscribe to. I want to tell you what that bad
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: take is coming up, and we'll see if you are
• 22:00

• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian though, in for
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Malor. All right, so some stuff's on my
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: mind over here. We'll get to the militia here in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: one American minute. And my guy Dorco, he wants to
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: check in and just he wants to talk about Pooka Nakula.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Let me say something about Pooka before Dorko does, because
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I doubt we have the same same thought here. But Pooka.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So on Monday Night football, the Rams lost to the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Falcons and it's down to the final seconds and third down.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Not that much time, probably like ten seconds to go
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: in the game. Third down, the the Rams are down
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: by three points. They're at their own thirty five yard line,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: so you can see where this is going. They got
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to throw a deep ball and get out of bounds.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: That's what they're down to. And Stafford actually throws a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: great ball on the sideline and Pooka Nakua catches it. It
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: just stuck to his left hand. He just stuck his
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: paw out there and the ball just went smack and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: just stuck right there, and it looked like he caught it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a catch live. The officials were like, no,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: he didn't know, no way, that's ridiculous, Like the degree
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of difficulty. There's no way he caught that. So they
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: ruled it incomplete. And you watch the replays. The first
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: couple of replays, you're like, his feet are down, he's
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: got it, He's got the ball. And then they showed
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: one sideline replay and it was amazing. They slowed it down,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and so Pooka's got it. He's falling out of bounds.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: The Falcons cornerback Aj Terrell, he's kind of just like
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: grabbing Pukah's arm. He's just grabbing the arm and he
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: caused Puka to lose control of the ball for a
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: millisecond and it was when his feet were no longer
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in bounds. So it was an incomplete pass. He didn't
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: complete the process of the catch right, Like he didn't
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: have firm control the whole time. And so it was
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the right call, but the one saving grace. At least
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: we don't have to hear these people like, well, these
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: NFL gloves, These NFL gloves like pretty much catch the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: ball for you. It's like, dude, I could put you
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in these NFL gloves right now, you will make zero
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: impressive catches. Okay, Like to spare me on the idea
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that all these gloves do everything for you, though they don't.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I see plenty of NFL players wearing these super sticky,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: ridiculous like space aged gloves, and they drop passes all
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the time. You don't see that. You haven't seen a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: player with the gloves on drop a ball that hasn't happened.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Huht No, it happens a lot far too often than
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it should, so at least we don't have to hear that.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: One thing I thought of was, man Pooka almost had it.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That would have been an amazing catch. It'll playoff implications,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. But then seeing the replay when he just
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: sticks his left paw out there and the ball just splat,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: just goes nowhere. It looked like until you saw the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: side review and he does lose control for just a
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: very short period of time, that was enough for it
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to be incomplete. But I just thought of all these
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: people say, all these you know, these NFL gloves, Yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: they they pretty much catch the ball for you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: they don't, No, they don't. You know what, Here's my thing.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: If I don't, if I don't know someone very well,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: like let's say when I was living in Vegas, just
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you know, not that long ago, long ago. I was
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: there for a year and moved away just a couple
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. But a friend invited me to another
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: friend's place to watch football. And this guy had a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: beautiful house. He had this setup where he's got like,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: you know, all these TVs. He's got at least six
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: of the games at one time. It was an amazing setup.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I think he actually had eight TVs that it was.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. And I'm the kind of guy you
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: might be also a girl that if I don't know
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you very well, I'll just kind of like disagree with
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: you on the inside, you know what I mean, Like
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to cause waves, or if you say something,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, that's stupid, that's a dumb take. I
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: don't say that. I don't know you well enough to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: say that. You know, if I did know you well enough,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: i'd probably say it in a nicer way, like yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think so, man, right, But if I don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: know you, I don't just say that. Maybe that's my
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: New Year's resolution. I'm just gonna say it. If I'm
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: like at that place and that someone says that, like well,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you know these NFL gloves, man, they're unbelievable. They kind
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of just catch the ball for you. I'd be like, no,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: they don't, No, they don't do that. That's not true
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: at all. I could give you those same gloves. You're
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: not catching anything. So I don't believe that at all.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of guys with these gloves that drop
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the ball. How do you explain that? I thought it
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: caught the ball for you. Huh, Like, how do you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: drop a pass? If that's the case. So anyway, that's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: what it made me think. I have issues. That's what
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of voices in my head I
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: think is what's going on. Let's get to the phones here.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: The militia wants to check in. Dorco is in Hawaii.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: He's got a thought on Pooka Nakula. I'm curious what
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: his Pooka thought is. I gave you my Puoka thought.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: What is your thought? Dorko? You're on Fox Sports Radio, Buddy.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: Hi, Brian know it's me Dorko. I think even if
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: Ko made some great plays, I think he needs a haircut.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah you need you don't You don't like the man?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Bun is what you're telling.
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: Me, yeah, yeah, he needs them all cut. I think
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: he looks like a hippie. It's not hip to be
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: a hippie anymore. Maybe maybe his hair is holding bad vibes.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: He would look handsome with short hair, like an adult
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: instead of long like a pee weets player.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You don't like it? Now, let me ask you. Would
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: anybody look good with that hair do? Is there any
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: other NFL player that you think, you know, if he
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: had that hair, maybe he could rock it out or
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: it just look bad on everybody?
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: Well, maybe there's somebody. But maybe the ram's luck would
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: turn around with the haircut, because when you look good,
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: you feel and I feel good because I'm a ben fluent, sir.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: All the ladies love Dorko, the ben fluence sir. Just
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: ask lorrain Ah, she is so hot hot, uh Dan
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: your mama, Hi, Loreina?
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Hi Dorco?
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: Hi?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: So is that true? Lorena? Are all the girls like
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they're big on Dorco?
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Is that?
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Like? Is that correct? Advertising? Right there?
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: I haven't heard such things, but he sounds spicy.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. You sound spicy Dorco. According to Loraina,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good, right. You could do way worse than that.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: I think so.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: I got that on your dating profile. I sound spicy
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: on the Ben Maller show.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Me there you go, I'm tender, I'm tender.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're the first line, the first line and the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: only line. Dorko just put exactly that.
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: I'm tender. Lorena said, I'm spicy, tender. I'm a tender riser.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: I gotta go by.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: All right, there he is, dorcoh. Look at that was quick.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: That was almost like the Irish goodbye seasoned. Yeah, very nice.

• 30:27
  Speaker 1: He's out, he's out, all right, he fled, he fled.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: That was quick. That was the quickest Jed who fled
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: call I've ever taken here on Fox Sports Radio. Man,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that that was fast. Okay, Jed's got stuff to do. Well,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: let's let's get to Mike the LEPrecon he was to
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: check in as well. Mike, what's up, buddy, you're on
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna say an Irish hello, darka is funny. He's
• 30:53
  Speaker 11: in Hawaii. I'm fy Florida, and I'm spicy. Anyway, your
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: last day, mister Brian House, Yeah I believe.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do a couple of two pro shows
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday. But yeah, this is tomorrow. I have
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: no idea. I don't know. I'm not sure.
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: Maybe I heard Jimmy Bob Jimmy Bob. Anyway, my favorite
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: movie to watch for a month would be Field of Dreams.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah you like that one.
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: Huh. That's a brilliant movie. And I call a spade
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: at spade. I'm very honest. And regarding the gloves, you
• 31:29
  Speaker 11: know what. Those gloves can't help you on cold weather
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: like we have in Boston today with the wind. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: mean that's why they bounces off their helmets and whatever.
• 31:38
  Speaker 11: But anyway, so Lorena is like a rabbits. She nibbles
• 31:42
  Speaker 11: and food. She should buy some stowage containers and stick
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: it in the freezer like I do with my leftovers.
• 31:52
  Speaker 11: So cool it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I think that I'm a lot like Loraina because I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: do things all the time where I put it in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the fridge. I mean to eat it, and then I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: just lose interest. I'm like, yeah, it's not trash. It's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: not new. I'm like, h whatever, Yeah.
• 32:06
  Speaker 11: Okay, America, anywhere in the world, there's people who are hungry,
• 32:10
  Speaker 11: so I never waste a bite.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: No, it's better to be that way. It's better to
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: be that way, Mike. Absolutely, we should strive to be
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: like that, No doubt.
• 32:17
  Speaker 11: They bagels are better than Domus sugar.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: No, they're not. That's an outrageous take. That's that's the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: craziest thing you've ever said.
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: No, I did some research on you. You're forty six?
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: Is that correct? And you're no, I'm older than that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I remember what I am now I think I'm gosh,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: what am I up to?
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: I'm sixty two? But you're a skinny little lad and
• 32:36
  Speaker 11: for Coop, Coop needs to go in a bit of
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: a diet. But the sounds of things, a man, I.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Mean whatever, be put on twenty pounds working next to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Loraina apparently, so you know whatever.
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: Okay, I have a take on the Well, it won't
• 32:52
  Speaker 11: be not to Dame and the circuit won't be BC.
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: I like Miami. They knocked the Indiana out of the playoffs.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Right, No, not yet. No, they not Texas A and m.
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: Out No, but back Miami beat not to Dame in
• 33:06
  Speaker 11: an early game in the season. Not the Dame doesn't
• 33:09
  Speaker 11: belong to a conference, and that's why they didn't get picked.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of the conference thing. It's not like,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: don't let people tell you it's because that's a popular take.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: It's dumb, and I you know, listen, listen. No, I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: won't bore you with my spiel right now, but I'll
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, circle, Okay, okay.
• 33:27
  Speaker 11: So let me tell you Alabama is going to win
• 33:30
  Speaker 11: against Indiana. Indiana hasn't played the game for a month.
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: They're a little bit overrated. No, they're very good. They
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: have a great quarterback, but they're going to be a
• 33:38
  Speaker 11: little bit rusty. And that's the time you can always
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: take down the top dog. It's when you're rusty, so
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: you never know.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: It's okay, all right, all right, so's who's gonna win
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: it all? Mike? Are you calling for here?
• 33:52
  Speaker 11: I think Ohio States actually actually okay, all.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Right, and Mark, I don't buy them rated. I think
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: they're overrated. Mike, I don't.
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: I don't thinking of overrated. Marsala is overrated.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, Mike, Mike, Yeah, why why would you
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: Because he is.
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: He blocks me, He blocks all the people that are friends.
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: Have you ever been to Boston? Brian?

• 38:47
  Speaker 1: They'll they'll put pulp fiction on TV and like change

• 39:14
  Speaker 1: like the clean version of pulp fiction. Why why would
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: you do why? I don't understand. Is it just to

  Speaker 1: that's just bad. Right, I'm not wrong about that, am I.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: That's just that's bad. It's bad. It's a bad idea,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: all right, real fast about Notre Dame. This is a
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: bad take, Like, oh, Notre Dame didn't make the playoff
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: this season because they're not in a conference. Oh really,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: so Notre Dame made it to the BCS Championship Game
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: in the twenty twelve season, one of only two teams
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: they weren't in a conference. Then they made it to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the four team college Playoff twice, not in a conference.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: So how did they make it then and now? The
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: only reason they din't make it now is because they
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: weren't in a conference. It's bad take. It's a bad take.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: We will dust off of a list right around the corner.
