2 Pros and a Cup of JoeToday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, the Jets zero in on Lions DC Aaron Glenn as their new head coach but what does that mean for Aaron Rodgers? Critics think extended seasons are exhausting fans but are they missing the point? The Old P, Petros Papadakis joins the guys in celebration of LiAngelo Ball’s rap career. They put their final thoughts on Ohio State beating Notre Dame in the National Championship and much more!
It's the best of two pros and a couple with Lamar rings. Rating Win and Jonas Knox on radio.
How the hell we feeling here on a Wednesday morning?
Yeah?
Oh wow? That You hate it when one of your teammates gives you false enthusiasm?
What do you mean false?
What do you mean it was false?
Was that false?
You're tired? Oh?
I'm not tired. I'm ready to roll.
You sound you actually sound like you're ready to roll.
I am.
I believe you're tired on the inside. I mean, we got I thought about sleeping. I thought about oversleeping today, did you Yeah? I did. I thought about it.
Can you plan that or does it just happen?
I just just you know, Lee? Yeah, you know, Lee would be the authority on on this question. You you make a valid point there, Lee. Can you schedule oversleeping or does it or does it just happen?
You know?
Sometimes you decide like I'm gonna catch a few extra Diz's right now and push push the envelope.
So I guess that's technically scheduling over sleeping.
Well, scheduled over sleeping, scheduled over sleeping.
There you go, that's what the sleep button's for I do know this though, Aaron. I mean that was profound, man. It was like sometimes I hear that alarm and well, I just have already planned to hit the sleep button and give more zas.
All right, do you think Aaron Glenn is a hitting of confusion? You think Aaron Glenn is hitting the snooze button on on the offer the Jets have on the table, reportedly a lucrative offer.
He did leave New.
York or New Jersey where wherever the hell they do those things. Uh, he did leave there and go back to Detroit. But another report said they have told other candidates that they're targeting Aaron Glenn. He he's their leading candidate. He's the guy that they feel like they want to have the job. He's just mulling it over now that he goes back to Detroit. It would be great for all of us if Aaron Glenn decided just to walk away and say now I'm just going to go back to Detroit, to go to New Orleans and continue on with my search. But he would make a lot of sense. He played there. We talked about it a little bit yesterday. The question just becomes, what do you do at quarterback. What's the plan because one a team in your division is on the brink could go into a super Bowl potentially, and they got the quarterback position figured out. So it just feels like the same problem is going to be there a Lah, what's happening in Vegas with the Raiders.
I mean, is it a problem or you have Rogers? It's just whether or not you want that to be your guy next year?
Do you think he would want to take that on.
First year there?
Like, because if you do look at it, it's not the worst option in the world world from a playing standpoint, it's just all the stuff that comes along with it. And I just I wonder if him taking over the organization and taking over the helm would want to deal with that right off the jump there.
I think you have to have the conversation with what does that even mean? By the way, deal with what you know, the other thing that comes with him. Yeah, I think you got to have a conversation just based upon the feelings that have been, you know, issued to the media, whether from him himself, Aaron Rodgers, or from reports that you've heard. So I think that it starts with ownership. He's got to have a conversation if he's being hired or he has to discuss his plan, And if Aaron Rodgers is in that plan, I think he you know, I think he has to get a firm hold of what what the decision makers think first before he makes any any more decisions than I would. I would say I wouldn't feel comfortable making a decision like that, at least pre pre pre hiring, unless I had the opportunities speak with him directly and speak with his teammates to get an idea of what we're dealing with. Is this a guy who has the air and the hearts of the guys in the locker room or is he a problem? Is he a cancer? Is he one of those guys that you know, when you ask guys about him, they're like, yeah, we were better off without him. I don't think you just as a new coach. I don't think you just discard Aaron Rodgers. I mean, we could talk about all of the chicanery that's connected to all the things that have taken place since he's gone to New York. But I don't think you just discard him in any scenario. I think you got to weigh it out before you move on from the situation. So if I'm the head coach, I'm weighing out and I'm measuring what it is. Even though I know I still got to get another quarterback. You still know you have to get another quarterback. You gotta do that. That's first and four. Most you do know you have to get another one just based off of his age. But I wouldn't just again, I just wouldn't move on from Aaron Rodgers if I were taking over the job and he was still.
Well, how much of that do you think would he? Johnson or his sons for that matter, I have in the back of their mind. So when they're interviewing him, it's like, well, what's your plan? How do you see our team? You know, how would you envision this year one going? And maybe he's already given then answer. Maybe that's one of the reasons why they like Glenn. It's not just his defensive mind, acumen, or the fact that he played there and all the other superlatives that he brings. Maybe there's an little bit of like he's already given him that answer, like, hey, you've got a problem, right. I would think most interviews, if you go into it, you're looking at it from the outside and they're gonna ask you like, well, how do you view us, Like, what's your vision for us?
And my response would be, what appears you have a problem?
You think you, you know, have a quarterback issue or something to sit them, I don't think you have an issue. Here's what I think you do or here's what I would do if I an eron and then go from there. And so I think he's probably given them that vision or that answer of what he wants to do along with I believe it's Lance Newmark, and so they want to make the general managers that accurate.
Yeah, yeah, it's the name I saw a thing.
So I'm sure since those guys being hired together, they're a lockstep and they're they're providing a solution for whatever perceived problem the Jets feel like they have outside of losing. Right, it's one thing as a coach to come and give it a vision. Off, Hey, here's how we're gonna win. Okay, you've heard a thousand of those, But how are you going to fix the locker room dynamic? How are you going to fix you know, if there's a perceived issue with ownership, like I hope he was honestly just say, hey, look, this is what it was like when I played. This is what it was like in a place I just came from in Detroit. This is what I want to build. And if i'm your guy, you have to give me the free range or the autonomy to build that sort of culture with the team.
But it might take you stepping back.
It's taking you stepping out of this not flying your helicopter in over the practice facility, landing, then waltzon out of the practice field. Might be just kind of able to stay out of sight, out of mind. There's all sorts of things that who knows what was said, but I assume Aaron Glenn Lance Newpark maybe both have given them some sort of vision or plan for what this team looks like with Rogers, because I can't imagine you take this job and go, yeah, I'd rather have a question market quarterback. That just doesn't make any sense to me. I think it's a great point too. It's an excellent.
Assertion of just the familiarity, right, you don't know what you don't know. So if you're a coach and you're coming into the situation and you're interviewing and you are answering these questions, You're answering them in the dark. I don't know this man's personality, his proclivities, don't I don't know his habits. There's just certain things that I'm not going to know if I've never been around you or your organization. But Aaron Glenn has been here, he has been on the inside. He has lived it as a player, and he's lifted as a player with a team that had a lot of leadership. You know, they had Mo Collins on that team, that had Marvin Jones on that team. I mean they had you know, some real John Abraham was on that team. They had some real goons on that team. Man Curtis Martin I believe was on the team back then. Like the I think when you look at the wisdom and just the veteran feel of what Aaron Glenn brings to the table, I think it definitely serves a purpose to have the ability, as we mentioned with Dion going to possibly Dallas in a scenario like that, I think it has a ton of value that there's a familiarity between the owner and the and the potential coach that was a former player. Because you can politely or gently say, hey, Woody, you know, just just a tack bit of you know, just perspective there. You know, the helicopter, you know, it's like, you know, like just gently put like you know, can you you know, can we do it off off hours?
Can you land it over.
By the gym? You know? Can you land it when we're not around? You know? Yeah?
Or keep it in private? You know, the helicopter in private?
Yeah? Yeah, you know. I mean, and and sometimes it just takes you being familiar with the lady.
Friend, you know.
I mean what I mean he is a Johnson, you know, That's what I'm saying. I mean, you know what his Johnson helicopter around in public or that baby oil. Well, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I'm not saying it. It's in private.
Damn you keep that helicopter in private.
I mean it's uh, hey, you take things better. I think people take things better when they get it from people that they have a familiarity with, because familiarity in a lot of cases, if it's fun familiarity, then it's the closest thing to trust, even though you got to assume guys like that aren't trusted.
I'm just worried about Rex Ryan. You know, he really campaigned for the gig, like really, I mean he got an interview.
Because he works out the Four Letter Network. Yeah, but it just you know, if they catch that spirit, you know, they'd be wanting to coach.
Jeez, it's a real shame.
Maybe you should go be the decordinator at Penn State.
Do you think, jeez, do you think that uh do you think Rex got a second interview or no? Or do you think he was got a one and done?
I mean, don't you guys think that that was like honestly, like almost like a chara to say he got it the first time, almost like almost kind of like a joke. I mean, I don't know how it could be taken seriously to hire him at this point. It's just I feel like it's been too long and and just kind of you know, maybe the storylines that surround him, I don't I don't see how they would, you know, the way things ended in New York, how they take it seriously, I don't know. I mean, the wheels fell off the first time, they fell all the way off. Yeah, they did have success, granted, but that's been quite a while. When's the last time he's he's coached. When's the last time he's you know, had success as an.
Let me see this in his defense, I do feel.
Like I'm not trying to exack them.
I'm just you know, no, no, I understand.
But I was there in thirteen for half that season, and one of the things that I felt immediately walking in the building and sitting in team meetings and hadn't talking with some people in the front office, and then seeing how he coached, Like I liked him a lot as a coach.
He was very, very likable.
Uh players, style of coach aggressive. I like the demeanor which she handled things, you know, let guys be pros, but still had a structure around everything. But you could tell there's a disconnect there just was in how they were building the team, how he was coaching the team, what he wanted. And I mean they had some talent, and there was definitely some some guys and players that you were like, all right, like they have some studs and there they're given some of it, you know, what he wants, but they just they weren't winning enough at that point.
And I don't know that they were on the same page.
I'm sure the front office and him, but should be frustrating, and unfortunately, I think there's been a lot of that.
You know, there's been on different pages.
So I would have been really curious to see what a second stint would have looked like. I think it would be awesome for us because he just you know, he provides so many comments and you know, different potential for talking points for us. But I'm also excited for Aaron Glenn. I'm curious to see what this looks like as a head coach, a player. He's familiar and all that, and for a Jets team that again has talent, like this team has underperformed. That's the best way of putting it. And it's a loaded roster. If you're a coach, you can maximize that. More power to you, man.
So more optimism that a Roger would be back next year.
I like it.
And you know, let me tell you something. As the star of his Netflix documentary The Enigma, I mean, you know, I'm a fan of it. So if he could get back and that, it's good for you, right, great, come on, keeps us in the news a little bit longer.
It keeps you in the news.
Yeah, keeps us. I don't know what us has.
To do with it.
I'm a we not me guy personally.
You're kind of a we we guy, little we guy, Wills, Wills, Wills.
Here's my thing is like I just you know, and and Lee can attest to this. You don't want to be helicoptering around in public?
You know. No, yeah, not a good idea at all. No, people get the wrong impression.
What's helicoptering?
You know the things with the blades they're all spinning around like that.
Well, yeah, helicopter in private.
I figured you did, Bud.
Oh that's fair. Oh whoa, that is fair.

All right, so what's your issue with football this late in the year, Brady?
All right, Like you.
Think, uh, it's not my issue. You gotta stop projecting. But I did notice on social media people being like, oh man, no one's gonna watch this college football game. The NFL seasons long. I'll bet college football seasons. So like these people complain about it.
And I'm sitting here all right, granted on very little sleep, so there's probably some delirious thoughts, but I'm going, Okay, isn't this a good thing? Like football longer? You know, football for a more period of time, Like, isn't that what you want?
Yeah?
Am I the only one that's crazy about this?
Like, No, you're prolonging the sport that we all have grown to love and watch.
Why not just enjoy it?
You know?
Why not? Who cares if it's eighteen.
Games in the NFL at some point here soon, or if it takes sixteen games to win a national championship?
Can we enjoy that?
I'm with you. Yeah, I just think people again, I just think people that do this are people that that's what they do. You got to look for something that can play, and it just depends on the region of and a part of the country that you're in as well. Some places are more into that than others. And it's just a cultural thing, honestly speaking. And that was not race baiting either, by the way, that was just me talking about general areas. Certain people will walk by you and they say, you know, what, hello, how you doing? You know, the person to say back, Hey, how you doing. How you have a good day? Certain places in the world you say that, they tell you f off. You know what I mean, like mind drafting, business or whatever it may be. There's just some people that have very very negative outlooks on themselves and on life, and it comes through in like the dumbest little things, like it's a football game. People are going to watch it. Whether you think people are going to watch it or not. People are going to be interested in a college football championship game.
They are, which we haven't got the rating yet, have we I don't think so. It's the air of complaints, you know, And I blame Yelp. Yelp gave people the ability to dictate somebody else's success based on their isolated experience. And because of that, the losers and the geeks and the twrps and the pip squeaks and the nerds at Yelp have controlled the narrative for many businesses and many successful companies out there based on one thing. And so now people can't just enjoy the football games, or can't just enjoy the fact that, oh, look at that it's a national championship game involving two of the biggest brands, not only in college football but in sports. Can't have that. We've got to complain about when the game is on. I don't get it. I really don't understand.
When it's on, what channel it's on.
Is anybody aware that we are a couple of weeks shots? Is anybody aware the fact that we are a couple of weeks shy of having to break down NBA gossip and storylines Like I'm telling like we are on the brink of that, and.
People want to get caught off season. I'm off too. I'm taking off too. I'm out of here. I'm out. I'm out.
I thought you were going to handle our NBA cover choice.
Come on, bar hell no, because I'm a black man, Yeah, think I'm I just automatically know best.
First off, every time I started talking about every time I started talking about the NBA last year, you were like, hold up, Johnson, you know what you're talking about Aeric Johnson.
I did not. I didn't, you did.
I was like, you know, I actually think they're doing really good shooting three corners, passing the ball around.
And you're like, hold on, Johnson, stop talking about the sport.
All right, Well, since you guys are at it. Let's go ahead and do this. Let's talk a little bit about some NBA basketball going on right now. You got Lebron James. He went oh for twenty five the other evening, and you know what that was all right, because you gotta keep shooting the ball, you know what I mean, You got to keep doing what you're doing. Brownie James came in off the bench.
He did in.
He just truck him, struck him with a positive one point.
He didn't do anything.
On his way to out doing Stephen Ay in his career, but maybe will not outdo Stephen and his walk up to the arena. And that'll conclude our coverage. Oh, that'll conclude our coverage. Though the court park the national basketball I can't get it off. Okay, well here, let's continue on right now. Kawhi Leonard finally came back and scored about fifty nine negative points in the game. It was considered to be an overwhelming experience for him and his fans. Where it's Kawhi Leonards man.
By the way, he did come back. He's looked pretty good, he's looked in shape, and now he's going to miss another game.
Oh you see what I'm talking about, Levari. He's trying to steal your shine.
There you go. I'm just saying we had a Kawhi Leonard spotting and and he disappeared.
More of the story is stop bitching and enjoy the football.
You got what we got. I mean, we got UFL USFL right coming up.
Well, the problem is people feel like, well, you know, the ratings aren't going to be as good, and it's like, well, I mean okay, I mean again, I talked about some of those issues, you know, putting it on ESPN, and and ESPN is solely having it, Like there is an element of as much as there's people who probably like Kirkirk Street, there's probably people who don't or are tired of listening to some of the different ways they talk about the game or present the game of football. It's one of the reasons why the NFL has multiple partners and multiple teams that get to call those games and broadcast those games.
So that plays a little bit of a factor, I guess. But it's more about the calendar. I think people look at it and say, like when should the season start? When should it end? If you're going to expand the Playoff. I guess it's even if you had teams, you could still stay within this model. But you know, you got to give these kids rest, and you got to get these kids time to do exams and all the stuff that comes along with it. I mean, God forbid, something happens like what happens at the Sugar Bowl, and then you already had one team that was on a day less of rest that ends up being two, and it's like, how do you go about handling that sort of thing? So I think if there's any change that need to be made to college football to help the back end of the playoff, to me, it's the regular season. It's making these teams play more conference games they should all play died, making them figure out a non conference schedule where they're not playing cupcakes, especially not late in this season. And then you go from there, and then you start worrying about the timing of other things around the calendar. But you know, I thought the season was awesome. I think this was one of the best seasons they've had in college football. That's not just because Notre Dame made it to the National championship. I thought being at the playoff games was incredible. And I don't know if the ratings are gonna come with it or not because of the schedule when they put those games on.
But I think it will only continue to grow.
I loved it. I went to every home game this year, went to every playoff game. I loved it from watching it in person and being a part of it again to that degree in that capacity, and what goes along with it, what surrounds it, you know, just all of the people who put in a ton of work to try to support these these programs. But I also love it when I'm watching it at home. I really do. I enjoyed this college season because I just believe the way it was structured heading into this playoff made it made the season more relevant to me. It really did, because with the lesser teams that you take the quicker you lose interest in yep, that team. I mean, maybe they may play a team that is up for one of those couple teams are going to make it, and they may spoil you know, the team's season. But for the most part, having it where teams still have the opportunity to possibly make it into the tournament, I think added an element of intrigue that was definitely. For me, it was definitely missing and the interest level was much higher for much longer this season than I can honestly say any any like. I've had this intrigue, this level of intrigue for certain teams, and then you watch to see if that team is going to live up to the expectation. But I've not had it for an entire season four groups like for the conference like this was like the first time I was looking out a conference like, dang, how many are they going to get in? Or oh they're you know, they're going to knock each other off, or whatever may be. The intrigue of the Notre Dame deal an independent that goes down to an unranked, unknown team, and yet they climbed back into it. In years past, that would have been impossible for that to happen. Think about that. The best teams and my estimation, the one thing that happened in this year's playoff is the playoff the nature played out. It played out, the two best teams playing the best football ended up playing one another, and the best team won the College Football Championship. Like it is crazy.
I think a year ago those two teams wouldn't have even made the playoff. Yeah, I mean Ohio State finished fourth at.
The Big Ten. Yes and crazy yes, And again I don't. I don't think that that dictates if you're the best team in the country or not based upon something that you have that go wrong. A pro team could be the best team in the league and lose a game to a team that you know. You look at and say how they lose that game? You know? So to me, why doesn't that exist a little bit more in college? Okay, you let a game get away from you that you shouldn't have let get away. I get. It shouldn't mean that, Oh nope, you're not the best team. You didn't go undefeated. Like, let's get away from this whole undefeated thing. The best teams don't always go undefeated.
And now if they do, it's more impressive.
And now if they do, it's more impressive.
Because you've got the gauntlet to go through you get to get to the national.
And still got you still got to get through it.
Like the discussion after Notre Dame lost to Northern Illinois was what's their path to get there?
And they find and they found one and just when I said it after it happened, just when just keep winning and you're gonna be fine. Just keep winning, and that's what they did.
Sort of, Notre Dame more than Brady Well, I mean he was down.
I think it was a little down. I mean he just felt like, you know, maybe the strength of schedule was working against them. But all they had to do was just keep winning. And and look at what happened.
I was there and and.
Look but just look at the way it plays out. Like so you're going to tell me that you would have saw you would have foresaw a team that only lost the Ohio State and Oregon losing to a team that lost the Northern Illinois.
You could you probably could argue Notre Dame in Ohio State suffered of any teams in college football. Two of the most demoralizing losses this year, the one to Michigan.
They lost to the clock. Management was bad. And then and then you let these boys come up in wound it. You let Michigan walk up in your house and win.
What did they do to them?
Oh?
Bro, they burned them. And then speaking of burner for an emergency, you know, like the fires that recently have swept through Los Angeles, you'll want rapid radios. Yeah, I said Burner, but we're talking emergencies emergency broadcast again, got it?
Yeah?
Thanks? Thanks, Hey, listen, you'll want Rapid Radios because that instant push talk walkie talkie. It's on a national LTE coverage and one touch communication peace of mind for connecting with family and emergencies. Go to rapid Radios dot com now for up to sixty percent off and free ups shipping. Oh yeah, I do.
Want to put the bed. One thing.
I don't know why we need to have this conversation. It's probably born by Ohio State fans, but this is the most difficult path greatest run.
It's like, no, it's not.
If you look at the entirety of the season, this season does not compare to l s us. I'm sorry. They're twenty nineteen National championship. They beat seven top ten teams that year, they beat four top five. It's never been done before. And by the way they blew out teams.
I don't know that they ever trailed in the fourth quarter of any game ever that season fifteen to zero. Never trailed in the fourth quarter, and I think the only time in which they trailed it might have been like the Clemson game they which was one of the Was it a playoff game they played them?
It had have been.
I mean, that was the most dominant national championship run that I've ever seen. And Burrow had the single greatest season in college football history. So I know how State fans are really excited about what they just accomplished. You lost a Michigan at some point, you lost on the road. Orian, you can't consider this one of the greatest runs if you include the entire season, you just can't. LSU swept the table with everything, the accolades, the SEC Championship, the National they did everything. So please stop the narrative of Okay, I get it. You beat Tennessee, by the way, not playing their best football by that point in time of the season. You beat Orging, that's great, it's a good win. Beat Texas, Okay, beat Notre Dame like that's it was a great four game stretch. It is not even close to the greatest season or national championship run in the history of college football.
It's just not.
I think that you can't say it if you lost two games during the season, you just can't.
I think that's how they start getting measured though, based off of what they do in the playoff. The playoff is going to start defining. Yeah.
But let's say a team goes undefeated next year and they wouldn't they go sixteen to zero.
Yeah, I think they're still going to be I think they're going to be judged off of what they do in that playoff, like and what that road looks like. Like they definitely I get.
That, by the way, forgot to get there, okay, and they had a difficult well, they probably.
The most difficult of any team probably and in the draws, they probably had the worst, the toughest schedule of games. That's what I would say. I mean, and I think that that's where it's gonna go. It's gonna go to you being judged based off of what you do in the playoffs. I think getting into the playoff is going to be looked at more so like how the pros are looked at anymore, like, oh, you had a good regular season, but what did you do in the playoff? Yeah.
But the problem is that's part of the conversation the National Championship run, Like you can't qualify for the playoff if you don't win enough in the regular season. True, but so again, I think, but if you qualify and you make it into the playoff, and you have a run in that playoff and you gotta beat some hard ass teams, I'm just saying, I don't know that people will judge that team based off of what they did in the regular season. They're going to judge based off of what they were able to accomplish once.
They might get it, I get it. I just don't think there's a comparison.
I don't think you can compare that LSU team what they did, how they won, how dominant they were the entirety of the season, how well Joe Burrow played, I mean, Jamar Chance, I mean that whole team was incredible, and what they did throughout the year, all the big games they played throughout the year, Like if you really want to be honest, like, okay, they went fifteen to zero. We can make the case that they didn't play that well. They played tough games in the playoff, there's only two and they dominated by the way, But you can make the case their playoffs started during the season. When you're playing seven top ten teams in one season.
I mean, there's no debating that. Honestly, Other than to say that maybe the strength of schedule lends to you being able to make it into the playoff, and then it's like, Okay, what did they do once they made it into the playoffs? I mean, I just that's I just think that I in my mind, the first thing I think about is what with those teams? Like what would a Florida State, a ninety nine Florida state done in this playoff? What would a Michael vick let Virginia Tech team or Vince Young or you know, Reggie Bush and those guys, what would they have done in this six you know, this twelve team playoff? Like I would love Like in my mind, those are like the things I think about, what would that look like if they were if we had a twelve team playoff? Like you had a bracket Like I think a lot of things. I think about a lot of things. Yeah, yeah, man, some good, some some really good, and then some like that are like just really really like inappropriate. Nonetheless, I manage I managed to get through them. Sure, Yeah, there you go. That discipline, Yeah it is.

All right, speaking of the Ball family, somebody who knows the Ball family very well, he has covered them extensively doing this song works on local ratio. This song list stinks too. He is the great Petros Papadaegas, the co host of the Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on the Blowtorch and five seventy l a Sports Fox college football analyst and our good buddy on X at the Old p Pee. What's happening?
Good morning Hell and the waterflow.
Stinks. I'm gonna tell you something that's it s.
You guys don't know about that hardcore rap game and Chino Hills fool. Let's go Huskies, Let's go, Let's go Petros.
I need you becoming strong with that.
That song would have been in style twenty five years ago. About style now, no way.
I don't know why the number one song is a jellet paid off.
It's a joke. Is one of them?
Is?
He is stabed?
List his his uh, he got his street card punched when he stole those sunglasses and China coach.
I must say what I want to.
I'm gonna put WHOA.
I'm gonna get internationally arrested in Trump. I'm gonna have to save me.
I can't hoop.
Oh standing another basket cherry picking form brothers.
WHOA my favorite intro music man?
Why not my favorite Jello Ball? It's better than Lady Saw and Steven Seagal.
I don't know. I think they're the best.
Jello Ball line was very undercover years ago that we covered on the radio a couple of years ago.
He had a baby.
Well, so you know, his girlfriend had a baby, a bastard child.
And he said, technically that's that is the term. You know, I mean, Scarface had it wrong. If I die, then my child will be a bastard. Well if if you're not married, he's already a bastard. Scarface, Hey you have to die. Ah, but he had a kid. Jello Ball had a baby. Different, scar.
Yeah, what's the matter with you?
They asked Jello Ball about having a baby and how his brothers felt about it, because you know, his brothers at that time were much more famous than him. This is before the big rap song Tweaker, And he said, uh my, my brothers are excited to be an uncle to my seed. So he's always been a warn smith. You know, I say what I want too.
They excited to be the uncles my seat.
I see that's a direct quote shallow Ball.
Oh it's so dumb. It's catchy though, but it's so it's such a it's it's a idiot. So it's so dumb.
It might be the best thing that family has done. I swear to God.
Well, you know, I don't know. Mellow Ball is making more money than him, but he spends so much.
Every time he wears an outfit, he has to buy a matching Lamborghini's gonna that is gonna drain your banking account quick?
Hey, P do you P?
Do you buy the speculation that Big Baller brand shoes.
Blew up the other one Monzo's leg fell off because of it? You buy that?
Sure?
I mean if I have to buy the fact that Magic Johnson drafted Lonzo over de Aaron Fox and Jason Tatum because they served him strawberry waffles and Chino Hills. I mean literally, that was like, he's like this family, I went to breakfast, we eat strawberry waffles.
I had to pick up that sounds amazing, though I'm gonna start this strawberry waffles.
In the house.
Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
I like, I don't want to get off the subject. I want to try to find the way chiny shoes.
Let my leg, Oh my gosh, draft these shoes wear my leg fall off? Oh put it back on.
Give me another contract because my brother's getting richer. Whatever happened to the oldest ball and his girlfriend? Were they were they married? Did they have a kid together?
Is Latina? Yes? I believe she was thea Tina, the one that has the parents that owned the strip joint, that that does the That's not the oldest one, that's that's Jello forever. It was kind of.
The relationship.
No, don.
What about me back man, I'm.
Still so shocked that the white guy from Camp by Me Love got to be in the gang in Colors Kenneth?
Is that the redheaded guy?
Yeah, he's like all hard.
Wasn't he the weirder on the Burbs too?
Yeah?
Why don't you get to be I'm gonna say what I say.
I'm so sorry stop we candidate.
It took us, we edited that, we never found the Gleenson. We literally it took us like an hour to edit ten seconds.
Yeah, what was Kate's doing that old time?
It was like.
Beele at Petroos. Seriously, what what did you think about the grand finale of the college football season?
You know, I guess we all kind of I mean I did.
I had faith or hope that Notre Dame would hang around and punch him in ahead a little bit, and they did to a certain degree. But Ohio State was the more talented team, and Ohio State kind of reminded me of like a jittery racehorse, right, or that one really good athlete when you're twelve who lays down on the field like he's dead, you know, and then pops up like Rod did Well, you know, like you know somebody who's a little high strung. And you could tell because of the way the Michigan game went for them the last four years. But they were the more talented team, and they took it to Notre Dame and it probably sort of just came to fruition in that way. I thought after the first drive that Notre Dame's quarterback was going to be metavacked out in a stretcher.
Looked like he was like just absolutely spent and barfing on the.
Sideline and it's what he does. Baby. I loved him.
I mean, I absolutely I loved that first drive.
It was inspiring, but you known sustainable though, No, it didn't seem so after when Ohio State got took the ball and Chip Kelly started to exploit the perimeter and create vertical run lanes all over the field, you start of got the feeling that it was going to be that kind of night. The interesting thing I think is now all this talk about how Notre Dame was in the locker room, and there's all kinds of arguments about some of the places off.
He was just Dan Wolken. He was a douche like.
He was the only one that said it. If you listen to any interview anyone else, no one else had that. And then he walks it back by going, what was sue characteristic? It's like, stop, save your woke stuff somewhere else, Like just stop, I'm saying, but it's a.
Bigger conversation for me.
But I understand Wolkean is not the most well loved member of the media, and some other people kind of admitted that guys weren't talking and stuff in a much more greg air or gracious way.
Trying to be understanding of the situation.
But it is interesting, and I'm not really I don't spend a lot of time in locker rooms after the game. I mean, we call the game when we leave, and I remember being in the locker room after the game as a player and doing it when I work the se sideline and different things like that. But the one thing that is interesting is these guys get paid now, you know, and we're in this really interesting sort of gray area between these guys get paid and these guys are quote unquote student athletes or college kids or they're just kids. But but they're all getting paid. So I don't know the media treats it. I may be a little bit different than they used to when players won't talk, but that part of it. I mean, I wanted Lou Holtz to come down and do something, but he looked like he was pretty comfortable up in the booth with the blanket on his lap. But I wanted to come down and maybe stare down Ryan Dan halftime. That might have changed things.
Interesting.
What about Herb Street after the game, did you have any issues because that became more Yeah, a talking point with all.
The emotions involved. Seems like he's been going through a lot. But I mean, if you're going through a lot, why do you call six games a week? Right? I mean I can't tell. I mean, he's a mobile as far as what our business goes. But I think Kirk Kirk Street became popular or became the leading voice in our sport, college football, because he was so happy, A good looking guy, happy to be there, having a great time, very positive.
Everybody liked him.
Seems to really know how to deliver the information in an exciting way and in a way that was really palpable, right, Because being an announcer is a very subjective thing. Some people's favorite guy is Tony Romo, and some people can't stand when he opens his mouth, you know. I mean it's a very subjective thing to say. If an announcer is good.
Well, what do you think about Tony Romo Petros?
I think he's pretty I mean, I think he's all right. I mean he's excited. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes he doesn't say anything. I think he set the bar pretty high in the first few games he called by knowing the offensive coordinator and at the same time, I mean, if you're a football analyst, it's not that hard to kind of feel like you get in the red zone circle, the tight end you're probably going to be a genius football analyst, and the predictability stuff got a little old clad tight end a lot. Yeah, well it's it's it's a great idea from you, all right. I learned it from watching you. I just I sometimes sometimes when when Romo does so much predicting and then Jim Nann says, well, it's third and two, what do you think they're gonna do, Tony Jim, It's like, Okay, well.
He's fine, everybody's fine.
The thing about Herbstreet, though, it is like he got popular because he was having a good time, and now he's arguing with people. He's fighting total fan bases. He seems to be, I mean, he seems to be a total shill for the SEC and for whatever the interest of the company are. And then he's crying because he loved the Ohio State team so much in postgame and needed a tissue.
Yeah, that's gonna turn off a lot of people. I mean, I'm sorry.
You just if you call a game, you can't be crying about the result afterward because you're so happy for somebody that's that's my I mean, the guy's built up a lot of equity. He lives on a private jet with a dog, doing pro and college football. He's very much involved in the football world in a way that others are not because he's so embedded and he's doing it all the time. But I think that he's begun to swallow his own bait, and he seems a little bit. Yeah, he seems just he seems a little bit And people say this about me in a much lower level, right, but he seems like a caricature of what made him popular in the first place.
It just doesn't seem like he's doing that. Well, what would your response be to people who say that's what you are?
Well, I would say that that's I don't call if I'm calling a game, if somebody were to say that about me, I mean, if I'm calling a game, I don't really care who the network's affiliated with or not.
I just call it straight up.
I mean, I've been doing it so long that the affiliations of the network have changed, and I'm not high enough on the food chain to really worry about every sentence that I say being scrutinized.
I think you're better in Kirk khurb Street. I'll say it right now.
Well, thanks, appreciate you got it. I certainly don't have an agenda built it. And I guess that's what that's what it kind of feels like.
I guess yeah.
I find you more entertaining too, And I think you say stuff like to your point, like, I don't know that Kirk makes any comments that are probably critical when it is deserving.
Well, he's made so many friends, right, I mean, you know, when you're friends with everybody in the in the college football world, you want to protect your friends.
And I ain't got no friends.
Jeff, you guys, I mean you must say what I want to know.
Well, you have the lizard too, the lizard, Yeah, come on, got petros? We got petrols on the show?
Yeah?
Uh, did you have any There was some we were talking about this a little bit earlier that people were bitching and moaning about the fact that you had the National Championship Game the day after the divisional playoffs in the NFL, and it was just more complaints because that's what people like to do. You got any issue with the timeline and the timing of when the game took place.
Well, I think a lot of people were watching inauguration stuff too, right, whether they were excited or outraged.
When you Levart told me he wasn't. LeVar said he was not watching. I mean it got cut a cake with a saber.
I watched it. He's doing a YMC hold it a sword. I must say.
You know, yeah, I think that there'll be some tweaks, you know about when and how sweakers?
Yeah, much like okay, we can't what do you mean? Whoa? We got.
No in the NFL, the NFL was.
Playing when they were doing the first round, so they flipped it to T n T and but used their own uh game production. But T and T got to do the studio, which was just a bunch of like Brady knows that you throw a studio show together after everybody's been working for three and a half months and tell them to do the championship that was with Victor Cruz out there doing the salsa.
That was a little, uh, that was awkward.
I think there's a lot of things that can change.
And you know, ending it at the Rose Bowl on January first, which a lot of people have brought up, including the Great Joe klatt.
I don't. I don't. I don't see it. How does that work?
I don't know.
How does that work?
You have too many weeks and games.
Yeah, the bye win.
In the football schedule. The bye week certainly didn't help anybody.
And I mean, when you think about it, bye weeks in pro football and pro sports, which you guys played. The one thing that really impresses me, because I'm such an emotional wreck, is the way these guys emotionally deal with the road and the way that they can just go play football and the crowd doesn't affect him in the same way because they've been doing it a long time. And in college that's one of the things about the sport, other than the hash marks being wider, is the fact that kids freak out and it makes for exciting plays, it makes for mistakes, it makes for it makes for the chaos of college football, and you don't get that much in the NFL. But what happens in the NFL, just like college is a week off is not exactly a great thing. I mean, it's a huge debate in pro sports rest versus rust, So you know it's going to affect the college kids even more with finals and all the different things. If they are even doing that, some schools are probably not, but all the things that go into it, I think make it really hard to perform or be the same team you were in the postseason than you were in the regular season. So I mean, when you look at all the way that all the bye teams performed, some of them didn't even wake up to the third quarter, maybe there needs to be a tweak there, But I'm too stupid to figure out what they should do. Having it up against the NFL and all that different stuff was a little bit problematic.
Well, and like Thursday night Friday night games, it's like, come on, man, like they need to work with the NFL and say we'll take Saturdays all right. The Saturday ratings weren't good for the NFL either, So I just don't understand why you can't save that for college football. What the NFL owns some of the other days. But I want to ask you, just because it's all said and done now, and I know, coming off what you just said, like what do you think I mean overall? Were you like, Yeah, I think this is great, It's gonna work, it's gonna keep growing the sport at this point because it is a one year sample size.
Yeah, I mean I liked it, But then again, I mean I like U and LV games, right, So I mean I'm totally invested in the breakfast.
Like Mike Leech used to say, the.
Chicken has invested, but the park is completely invested, you know, in the breakfast of college football.
So I'm I mean, I like all the weird nuances.
I like seeing Washington State acting like they have a chance at the college football Playoff while they're playing games at New Mexico in November. So that kind of thing I thought was good for the regular season. The implications for a lot more games made it more interesting for some people.
For me, I mean, I have to show up anyway, but that was cool, and it was cool to.
See more teams involved in the excitement of the home games in the first round. I mean, there was a lot of good with it and a lot of bad, but I think overall, I think it's a good thing that needs to keep going forward. I wish it wasn't a shadow controlled by ESPN, but that's that's how it is.
He is the old pon X. Petros Papadek is the co host of the Petros and Money Show, which you can hear on the blowtorch A five to seventy LA sports.
I mean, doesn't Brady have enough kids now that he can start working like a band?
Dang?
Yeah you know what I'm saying that the Quinn fav I never thought about that. Yeah, he made you like an Irish like a folk shanty. Yeah, well, you know, like something like that.
Either my wife rykers sing or have any musical talent. So that's our ball is out there saying like Berry White.
Right, I mean, I don't know this song is Oh my gosh, yeah, I don't know.
I mean, Petros can give me a studio next time I come out to l A and we'll lay down some bars.
Do is throw tomato tone on theres a. You're good? Yeah, pretty easy. Yeah, you could do it.
Hell yeah, we can have a rap group. Yeah, I'll do the Jamaican stuff. We could just call ourselves. Get him to the Greek you know. Yeah, but I do a Jamaican accent, that's right.
It's got to be done in a Jamaican accent, of course. And we need a Chinese Jamaican guy because those are the best. That is funny when you hear it.
Oh God, there's a lot of Chinese people.
Yes.
In fact, the first, yeah, the first guy to record Bob Marley and the Whalers is a Chinese guy.
And he sounds like a Jamaica Hey, why coming record now?
They the biggest record company in Jamaica, moved to Jamaica, Queens and in New York and they're run by a Chinese family, I believe, the Hong family. And like, if you hired like a great reggae singer like Jip Shann or somebody to come and talk to you guys, it's probable that a seventy year old Chinese woman would bring him to the radio station VP Records, which used to be Randy's Records, Randy Chin.
Maybe it's the Chins.
They are still the biggest label of Jamaican music in America, in the world, and it's completely Chinese run. A lot of Chinese people in Jamaica. And guess what they own liquor stores.
Believe it or not. Hu is hilarious. But yeah, I've seen Asian people know when I'm there, and it's it's kind of interesting hearing them speak petcha.
They chot bob oh. Yeah, a lot of a lot of Japanese in Peru and Brazil to I gotta go back to Jamaic and see this. When I was there, I did not see any of this, So I need. I need to figure this. Go and ask him where the local chiny Man is. That's what they call him, sorry, the local Watch a famous yellow Man song, mister Chin, I was long shonglong die. No really, baby, I don't know. You should turn it instead of yellow Ball. You should listen to mister Chin by the Yellow Man.
Can you bring us back to that, please, mister Chin? Yeah, I want, I want, I don't. That doesn't sound like a profanity song, so no, it's not.
There.
It is.
Oh there, you got pulled it up.
He's talking about mister in now.
Yeah.
Three eleven stole that.
Uh.
Three eleven is a white band from New York.
Your energy? Whoa are you for sanity rioting? I'm missuching.
It's about mister Chin in his store and then that he and then he takes mister Chin's daughter around the back.
Cats make songs about anything, won't they.
Mist I feel like this is starting to seem like this is starting to seem like country, because country makes songs about everything.
Is that similar? Of course? Yeah?
Okay to Regar, Okay, I mean.
Listen, I'm a fan of Tweaker.
I know that, all right. It's number one song in America? Is it really number one? I'm sorry to bring something that is horrible. I'm just saying, and it will never be it will never be anything but horrible. And that's all I'm gonna say.
Yeah, Oh my god, you call him Piangelo ball, Well, P
Let him know. P.
