00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: any show on radio that has more experts on rehab,

65
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: I can't think of it. This show is at the

66
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: very top. In fact, there's a requirement to call the show.

67
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: You've had to go to rehab at least three or

68
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: four times to call into the show. Unless that's not true.

69
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from the rehab clinic.

70
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: As we have a Pooka Pooka update Star wide receiver,

71
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: the next big contract in the NFL will likely go

72
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: to this guy.

73
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: If you've not heard, perhaps not, we have learned that

74
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: LRAMS wide receiver Pooka the has checked himself in into

75
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: a rehab facility after he was accused of going full

76
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: vampire and biting a woman while drunk on New Year's Eve.

77
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: His attorney confirming that his client has checked himself into

78
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: a luxury treatment center in of course, Malibu. Where else Malibu?

79
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Why not?

80
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 5: All right?

81
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: So, Nikoua's lawyer said the rehab is because of a

82
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: combination of stories that y'all he told the New York Post,

83
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: y'all must be from Texas have run is certainly a

84
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: contributing factor. Now the attorney is positioning this as Puka

85
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: going to rehab before he got sued. We'll get more

86
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: into that later on. That's a good jumping out point.

87
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: Let us discuss the question, what do you see as

88
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: the driving force behind RAMS wide receiver, Puka Nakua and

89
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: his trip to a Malibu rehab, a holistic Malibu rehab.

90
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: So I've got NASA, where's Waldo and Rocket Fizz, and

91
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: we will combine all of these things together, and we

92
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: are gonna make an alphabet soup, is what we're gonna make. ABC.

93
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: That's right, ABC, So number, I said, number, all right,

94
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: So we call it the Malibu Mirage, the Malamu Mirage.

95
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: So Pooka Nakua entering the NFL's Witness Protection SPA and resort.

96
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: It is not a desert oasis. No, no, no, no,

97
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: it is a Malibu oasis. And now don't get this twisted.

98
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: Do not whatever you do, do not get this twisted.

99
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: This is not about healing. It's not about healing. It's

100
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: about image laundering, not money laundering, image laundering. It's the

101
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: oldest trick in the Houdini Magic Set. If you open

102
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: up the Houdini Magic Set, you get the hidden ball trick.

103
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: You got that, You've got the card, the deck of

104
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: cards that's in there, and then you've got this. It's

105
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: right next to the I take full responsibility talking point

106
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: and that's not who I am. Those of course very popular.

107
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: This is coordinated Puoka going to the Holistic Rehab, much

108
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: like a NASA launch is coordinated. Countdown, countdown to contract

109
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: extension team minus clean image, clean image. Yeah, so you

110
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: go to the holistic rehab, you sit by the mighty

111
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: big blue Pacific Ocean. Now it's gonna be tough for Pooka.

112
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: He does not eat vegetables. And this is a blow

113
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: to the anti vegetable caucus. And that anti va vegetable

114
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: caucus includes Al Michael's Pokinakua and yours. Truly, we are

115
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: anti vegetable. And if you go to a holistic retreat,

116
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: you're going to be given cucumber water, whether you want

117
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: it or not. You're gonna be given that. You're also

118
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: gonna get avocado toast. You're gonna get avocado, toast, smoke

119
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: salmon as well on of course a begel smoke salmon begel.

120
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: You'll get that. And then suddenly, poof, just like that,

121
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: you are rebranded from hazard in the headlines, hazard in

122
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: the headlines to misunderstood artisan just like that. And that's

123
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: not just bending the rules. It's not bending the rules here.

124
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: That is or agami is what that is?

125
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 5: Right? That is.

126
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: I mean you're taking a piece of paper and twisting

127
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: that thing up and it's looks like a bird. Is

128
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: it a plane? I don't know. So we're not playing checkers.

129
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: It's chest, you know, that whole thing. And the rams

130
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: are watching the ownership Stan Kronkey's watching, the lawyers are

131
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: watching the possible court date, which is not who knows

132
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: if it's ever going to get the court that's also

133
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: out there, And so the contract Fairry is watching. With

134
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: forty plus million dollars aav average annual value over forty

135
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: million dollars, that Pooka gonna set the record, was on track,

136
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: on track to set the record for the highest average

137
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: annual value per year, You're gonna get the bag. So

138
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: the contract Fairry is hovering over so far like a

139
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: drone and you think the money just shows up like that,

140
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: And if you're starring in Byte Club, I don't know

141
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: about that. I don't know about that. Now, Pooka does

142
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: have a great opportunity if he plays his cards right here,

143
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 2: they can bring back the Vampire Diaries and he would

144
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: have a role in the reboot of the Vampire Diaries here.

145
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: And I want to point out also that we said

146
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: this the night the story came out with the Puka Nakusta, sorry,

147
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: this one accusation is a spark. We have not gotten

148
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: a wildfire. Very important, we have not gotten a wildfire.

149
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: And with Deshaun Watson when this his story came out

150
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, it was like, well he

151
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: came out denied the one accusation, and then it was

152
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: another one, and another one, and another one bites the dust,

153
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: and another one and another one and all that stuff.

154
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: We have not seen a girl gang feeding TMZ's inbox

155
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: with credible accusations against Pooka Nikoula. However, in the NFL,

156
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: oftentimes a single spark turns into a five alarm inferno

157
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: and it happens real quick, and so Nikoua's he's trying

158
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: to hit the reset button. Here's a lot of money

159
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: on the line. Is people writing his coattails trying to

160
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: get that money, and so it's rehab holistic reputation, the

161
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: old switcheroo. There go to Malibu and uh yeah, so

162
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: LB hardship angle for Puka at a Malibu rehab where

163
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: they charge eight thousand dollars a month and you go

164
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: there and just kind of hang out and knock yourself out,

165
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: all right now, keeping the theme of the hour, because

166
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: there's nothing better than talking about rehab on talk radio.

167
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: It's fascinating. So Tiger Woods, Yeah, another big, big couple

168
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: of months here for rehabs. So Tiger Woods turned down

169
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: shockingly the Ryder Cup capency. I don't know why. I

170
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: guess he must be busy flipping cars. So he's going

171
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: to step away from all golf activity, will not participate

172
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: in the Masters. In fact, he will not even be

173
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: in the country as a Florida judge has rubber stamped

174
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: rubber stamped a motion to allow Tiger Woods to vacate

175
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: the United States of America, and he's going to seek treatment.

176
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: According to Tiger's well compensated to turn the attorney asking

177
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: the judge that Tiger Woods be allowed to travel outside

178
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: the country for comprehensive inpatient treatment. The lawyer said that

179
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: the recommendation from Tiger Woods doctor Wink wink whatever is

180
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: doctor's Doc Mike, I don't know anyway, or Doc Dann

181
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 2: maybe Doc Dan from Minnesota. So Tiger Woods Doctor h

182
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 2: has recommended based on the quote complex clinical presentation and

183
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 2: the urgent need for a level of care that cannot

184
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: safely be or effectively be done within the United States

185
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: as Tiger's privacy has been repeatedly compromised. So the judge

186
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: bought this bull crap. And so Tiger's going to go abroad?

187
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: Will he be followed by a Netflix docu crew to

188
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: have a docu series Tiger goes to rehab, a four

189
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: part Netflix special? Yeah, all right, So question will Tiger

190
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Woods successfully avoid the paparazzo while overseas getting some rehab.

191
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: So if you think, okay, if you think Tiger Woods

192
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: is going to vanish into the French mist like a phantom,

193
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 2: I have a pump and dump crypto. I would like

194
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: you to buy all of it. I want you to

195
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: buy all of it place. Come on, we have built

196
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: a global economy, a global economy in the age of

197
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: social media, and the currency is tipped off, as in, Hey,

198
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: I know something, I'm gonna make some money on this.

199
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go viral and I'm gonna I'm gonna make

200
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: my cash. You honestly think a fifty thousand dollars bounty

201
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: from the Daily Mail in London or New York Post

202
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: is page six or TMZ is going to turn a picturesque,

203
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: just beautiful French chateau into a high stakes game of

204
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: where's Waldo? Come? Of course that's going to have it.

205
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: It's going to turn into a Where's Waldo game at

206
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: the French chateau and the French Riviera rehab clinic. It's

207
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: just a I believe a charade. I'm going with charade here.

208
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: It's theatrical. It's highly produced, is what it is here

209
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: in stage for the gullible, and then the gullible always

210
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: love this. They can't get enough of it. Every waiter,

211
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: every bell hop, every masseuse, all of these people from

212
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: Paris out to the suburbs and beyond, will beyond the

213
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: prowl money man of money, yep, money man of money. Yeah,

214
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: money doesn't talk, it screams. It always screams. We know

215
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: that that's the case. Here, imagine Tiger sitting in his

216
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: chateau looking out at the French riviera. He feels like

217
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: he's protected, surrounded by a wall of the Claire's and

218
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: chocolate moose and just settling in there and he's safe

219
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: behind the wall of desserts and wrong. No, the apaparazzo

220
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: are like heat seeking missiles, is what they're like.

221
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 5: There.

222
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: They don't care about your crembrouleat. They're not worried about that. Okay,

223
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: they're not. I care about the payday and not the

224
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: candy bar pay day. Not the candy bar pay day.

225
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:23,359
Speaker 2: To think that Tiger will avoid the lens when everyone's

226
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: walking around with a high definition camera, even the guys

227
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: with the Obama phones they have that come on, and

228
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: Tiger's just another mark, just another mark on the board.

229
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: You grab your popcorn, get your popcorn now, But of

230
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: that popcorn, because the private retreat is about to become

231
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: public viewing. All right. Now, back to the NFL final point.

232
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: Back to the NFL. To Houston we go where the

233
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: owner cal McNair, another second generation ownership group. Dad made

234
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: the money and he's as big as stumblebum as Mark

235
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: Davis or the second generation owners anyway. So Cal McNair,

236
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: through his support around CJ. Stroud, the disgruntled when I

237
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: say disgruntles his play, he's making everyone disgruntled. Quarterback there

238
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: in Texas. McNair telling the media in Houston, quote, we're

239
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: totally behind him meeting c J. Stroud. He's totally bought

240
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: into being our quarterback and all that entails. Really, we

241
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: all want to get better every year. The Texans bloviating

242
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: owners said, he's doing that. He's doing that, everyone is

243
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: doing that. Everyone's getting better. Okay, didn't look like he

244
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: got better in the playoffs. What do I know? Question?

245
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: We know the fluff, the fluffer nutter from the owner here,

246
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Cal McNair. The question how much confidence do the Texans

247
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: really have in c J. Stroud? We know what they said,

248
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: but how much confidence do they have? All Right? So

249
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: the whole thing with CJ. Stroud, it stinks. Not just

250
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: a little smell kind of from a distance, Not that

251
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: kind of stink. No, I'm talking about a full on stink.

252
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Grand Central Fish Market in July

253
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: on a rare, really blistering hot day, that kind of smell.

254
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: Now you watch the tape, you listen to the games

255
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: on the radio and all that stuff.

256
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: C J.

257
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Stroud he had the false opening, came on like gamebusters, right,

258
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: it was like some kind of foodoo bugaloo. How good

259
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: he was as a rookie and he was an absolute warhead.

260
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 2: And turns out that now that we've got several years,

261
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: a couple of years after that rookie season, it was

262
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: actually a trip to Rocket Fizz, Soda Pop and candy shop.

263
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: And the warhead was a candy version, not the nuclear kind.

264
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: It was just a candy warhead, a tardy, fruity flavored

265
00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: quarterback that seems to explode in big moments and right

266
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: upon contact just come boom, just like that. Now Stroud

267
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: had a terrible second year. Is the twenty fifth ranked

268
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL. He followed that up by becoming

269
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: the twenty ninth ranked quarterback in the NFL. And then

270
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: you have the snuffleufogus in the room playoffs. As Donnie

271
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Brosco said back in the day, forget about it, forget

272
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: about it. He had a first class ticket.

273
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 5: CJ.

274
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: Stroud of the Texans on the Vomit Comet in the

275
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: playoffs right there, and that that was a bakery with

276
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: a special on turnovers, fresh giveaways every five minutes. Come

277
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: on down, and the Texans, they're all in.

278
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 5: C J.

279
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: Stroud had the worst postseason in NFL history for a

280
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: player that played multiple games, and they're all in. Please,

281
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: we all know it's a results based industry and you

282
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 2: either produce or you get replaced, as simple as that.

283
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: And right now, right now, CJ. Stroud's producing extra strength anxiety,

284
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: all right, And Houston will pick up the fifth year option,

285
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: and I'll do them monologue and I'll kill them. I'll

286
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: char broil de text like what are you doing? They'll

287
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 2: do it. Would be stunned if they would not pick

288
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: that up. They're gonna pick up the fifth year option.

289
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: The reason they're gonna do it is because they're scaredy cats.

290
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: They're scaredy cats. They're scared to admit that they might

291
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 2: have hitched their wagon to the wrong horse. And it's

292
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: a problem. And it's also fomo. These guys benefit from fomo.

293
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: The biggest thing going in sports today is fomo. There's

294
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of these players in baseball that haven't done

295
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: anything in the big leagues. And they're getting massive eight

296
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: year contracts because of Fomo. That these teams are so parento,

297
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: they have so so much low self esteem in baseball.

298
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: They're so worried like any of these guys turn out

299
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: to be good, they're just gonna go to the Dodgers

300
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: of the Yankees, or the Red Side the Cubs or

301
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: something like that. So these small market, small minded teams,

302
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: they give all these guys eight year contracts worth fifty million,

303
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars and they haven't proven anything. It's

304
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: Fomo and CJ. Stroud's going to get another year of

305
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: fifth year option because of Fomo. It's not confidence. You

306
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,240

348
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: would love to have been a fly on the wall

00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,880

00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: It's not even one that's that you can fall for.

355

360
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: oh my god, this is the crizy of the world.

361
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: Oh it's so good. All right, but this is the

362
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: hour of pook up, at least at the start here.

363
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that. And what do we have here.

364
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: No Stradinas who actually we did a check on him.

365
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: We had to send in some paramedics to help out.

366
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: No Stradinis because he all he overdosed on shot on Freuda.

367
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: He overdosed on that. Really enjoying the Puka story, says

368
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: the Puka and his idiocy is the gift that just

369
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: keeps giving. It's great. I'm a talk to your host

370
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: and no studios. He's providing content. It's not a criminal

371
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: matter at this point. It's a civil matter. So it's

372
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: really nothing burger. Now, if a bunch of other people

373
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 2: come out it becomes a civil goes from civil to

374
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: criminals thing, then okay, that's that's something different. We're not

375
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: at that point. Alfie alien Opiner says, I would argue

376
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: that the big market red Sox are the kings of

377
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 2: Governors of the fo MO or governors of the fo

378
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: MO contracts. Do yourself a favor and look at how

379
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: many one hit wonders they've locked up Rusne Castillo. Well

380
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: didn't They signed Rusne for paw Tucket. They signed him

381
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: for paw Tucket and he did very well there, unless

382
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: he didn't late night drug test.

383
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 8: Wa wait, wait, are you telling me there's one hit

384
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 8: wonders in music and in sports?

385
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: Well, he never even was a hit. He just got

386
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: a contract without you. These guys are getting contracts now, Loraina,

387
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: without actually doing it. All these is somebody says you're

388
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: going to be good. You know how harder this predict?

389
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: And you with Lorena as a as a woman dating right? Uh?

390
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: And men and with men with women too right. You know,

391
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: you project you're in a relationship with someone, you project

392
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: like how things are gonna go. You're almost never right. Nope,

393
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: you're not right. I mean you probably dated guys. You

394
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: thought all this guy's you know, the guy's keeper, the one. Yeah,

395
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: I mean that happens all the time. I'm both ways.

396
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: And so these teams are betting on these guys that

397
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: are going to continue to get better. And they're not

398
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: gonna some guys peak in high school or whatever, and

399
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: so they get these massive contracts. And Rusne Castile was

400
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 2: one of the guys. He was like the originator of

401
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: just getting paid for nothing, and he did nothing and

402
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: he got paid a lot of money for nothing. Just Josh,

403
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: as I stand with Pooka, vegetables suck and a special

404
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: fu to pickles, get off my chicken sandwich one hundred percent.

405
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how many times I have been disappointed.

406
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't need a Chick fil A very often, but

407
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: I'll go to Chick fil A, I'll get the chicken

408
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: sandwich and I'll bite into it forgetting the pickle, devastating,

409
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: want to puke in my mouth. Leave my freaking chicken

410
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: sandwich alone. I agree. It's a great take. And when

411
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: we go out, just Josh and all you guys at

412
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: the Ohio meet and greet we're gonna do later this month,

413
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: no vegetables. You will not see me eat a single

414
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: vegetable other the one exception, and it's is the garlic.

415
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: That's it. Let's go to the phones, and who do

00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: have these things called highways, so it would be conceivable.

427
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 5: It's right off a highway. It's a casino, though, you

428
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 5: got to be over twenty one to get in.

429
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,800

Speaker 5: Colerain is gonna come.

432
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: I know Anthony will not be there because Lorrain is

433
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: not going to be there. So I'm pretty sure Anthony

434
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: is not going to be there. I don't have to

435
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: worry about that.

436
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 5: But it's it's Sun Centers like right half all right,

437
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 5: So here's the.

438
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: Deal, J. We are. We are a little over three

439
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: weeks away from this thing. I have been chatting with

440
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: a couple of people. I believe we have something in

441
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 2: the queue, but they've not got it. I've not gotten

442
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 2: it confirmed I have a nightmares that they're going to

443
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: drop out, much like I've had. I had a deal

444
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: with merch last year, was about to announce it. The

445
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 2: thing fell apart. So I'm concerned about that. But I

446
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: know we'll find somewhere and we just show up. We'll

447
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: just show up somewhere if we have to.

448
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 5: If I don't don't go to Dayton. You don't want

449
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 5: to go to Dayton, what's wrong with I'm go pick

450
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 5: Dick up.

451
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: I'll get I've said that before. We will. We will

452
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: effort Jay to get. Well, you know, the Reds are

453
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 2: playing that night, so maybe we'll all just go to

454
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: a Reds game or something that would be depressing.

455
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 5: You know, that's fine. But anyway, I was back nineteen

456
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: ninety two. I was shooting basketball my driveway. I was

457
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: a junior in high school and Chris Collins or his

458
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 5: porsal can uh it would be Dick and Dayton would

459
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,880

Speaker 2: else do we have? Marvin Mims from ferg Dog Page

618
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 2: down ogre from Milkman, Mike in Colorado, Bill Goldberg from

Speaker 2: King Rory Blair, and Maine from d uh Jamie got

620
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: it right? Bad job by him? And do you have

621
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: an answer, Lorraine, I gotta go with Armanda Gottlieb exact

622
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: great sound by the same queen. Roxanne got this right

623
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: too as well. The correct answer is Bill Romanowski Romo.

624
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: He's also in the Polish American Sports Hall of Fame.

625
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: Here we go, Here we go.

626
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago, it seemed like Russell Wilson

627
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: might get signed by the Chiefs, but instead they went

628
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: with Justin Fields. Now it's being reported that there is

629
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: quote no market for Russell Wilson. Ben, do you think

630
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: mister unlimited goes unsigned?

631
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: Well, it would take like five quarterbacks getting into a

632
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: clown car accident for him to get signed at this point,

633
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 2: so there will be injuries and so he's on that

634
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: short list. It doesn't look good. Sounds like the Raiders

635
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: want Kirk Cousins, not Russell Wilson. That's the only available

636
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: job unless Aaron Rodgers goes away next.

637
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger spoke in a recent podcast and said about

638
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens I think that their window is closed.

639
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 3: I should say it's closing. Yeah, Ben, is their window

640
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: closing or closed?

641
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 2: It's closing. Lamar Jackson did not look as good last year.

642
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 2: He's been hurt recently. They have a new coach. It's

643
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 2: not closed. It's there at a fork in the road.

644
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: The Ray are not They're not a stock that you buy.

645
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: You don't sell it. They just kind of hold on

646
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 2: to it at this point. Next and only.

647
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: As second year coaching the Rockets, t Aodoka led the

648
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: team to the first Division title and six years and

649
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 3: then the second seed in the Western Conference. Then they

650
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: got bounced in the first round. The summer saying a

651
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: first round exit this year could cost a Dooka his job.

652
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: Do you think they'd pull the plug on him that quick?

653
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go no. He is considered one of the

654
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 2: better coaches in the NBA. The Rockets changed the ingredients.

655
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: They added Kevin Durant. They screwed up the recipe. I

656
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 2: say they're going to keep him for another year. How

657
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: do we do he passes? That is a way put

658
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 2: on the guy. Oh my god, what the guy that's
