It might be great? Well, I think for I think the the the angle.
Okay, you know what, Let's just do this well because the great, the great is coming is part anyway.
Let's just do this. Okay.
So remember last week when everybody was hot and heavy for about five seconds that the Steelers called the Jaguars about Trevor Lawrence, Oh yeah, And then that got somewhat debunked in the ensuing hours, to the point where each side said nobody called about Trevor Lawrence. Now today Mike Florio Pro Football Talk puts out that, yes, he's got that this call never happened, and if it did happen, it was probably a low level staffer who threw this out there seeing if they could make something happen, make a phone call for Trevor Lawrence happen, or maybe get Trevor Lawrence to the to the Steelers. No one really high on either of these teams, high up enough you're talking about head coach, assistant general manager, general manager, made any kind of phone calls on this. Trevor Lawrence in an interview in a podcast yesterday in which he said, hey, I didn't think it was true, but.
I called him.
Liam Cohen called him and said, no, this is not true. It's not coming from us. So and then he said, Dove, so all of this apparently was not true. I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day when Annie McDowell tells him that she made you in French poetry and he says, what a complete waste of time, like that's a what a complete waste of time this storm. But a lot of the rumor conjecture, speculation about whereabouts, I mean, we just did the where's Aaron Rodgers gonna go? Mean, how many of those are real linkages versus eh, they might be wanting to move on for Brockberty, or here's a tangential connection to the old Shanahan system, so you can go there and he as you joked, Ah, he went to cal he likes the bay.
Maybe he's got a house up there. He's got a home there.
These guys have houses and have bought property in forty two states. If there was a team in Egypt, I would say he might go there. He likes to go to Egypt, might do that too. If there was a team in a darkness retreat somewhere, they'd play in the dark. But we just had the NBA trade deadline. How many rumors were out there, Guys getting moved, Paul George, Joel Embiid, go on down the line. Lots of guys. A couple of big seismic moves, don't get me wrong. But that's the beauty of the silly season and for the NFL and for a guy like Trevor Lawrence, when you can link him up with a historic franchise like Pittsburgh and get him out of Jacksonville with what they've done, as Frostburg so eloquently put it, Liam Cohen's Duval. Well, so all of that, it becomes a fun exercise and let's chase our chase our tails.
Well.
Look, but that's the thing now, is that? Yes, because we talked about this when this happened, that we look whether or not it was true the phone call needed to happen.
That it should happen. Have to discuss that.
You can't keep shopping in the bargain basement for a quarterback, right, Yeah, you know, I can go to TJ Max and Ross if I need something, But if I need something really, really important, I'm not going to TJ Max and Row unless they want to talk on the shelf.
You can't.
You can't go cheap at quarterback. And that's what the Steelers tried to do last year. Hey we can get Russell Wilson for a song. We can get Justin Fields for a song. Bears don't want him, the Broncos wanted out. Hey, look at us, We filled our quarterback room and we'll figure this out somehow. It's why Sokos who were willing to eat all that money and as you can change things up.
Did it work out right?
It worked out right for the Bronco cost average. Uh, you can't do that. And I don't know if it's Mike Tomlins, you know, influence over things. But dude, there's got to be a different kind of conversation and strategy out there when it comes to getting a quarterback, because you can't you can't just say, hey, we're gonna try to try to game the system for a quarterback. No, you gotta gotta go out and get a guy that's gonna that you can build on that that that checks a lot of box is not just hey this guy was good, we'll take a chance. We'll just fill up our quarterback room with quantity. Yeah, when you're looking for a guy, when you're starting over, yeah, give a bunch of guys a chance. But you're a team that's this is a playoff caliber team. This is a team that you have the right quarterback you go deep in the playoffs. You don't just say, well, we'll get this quarterback here, not paying anything in this quarterback pass like that doesn't work. Like it makes me feel like the NFL has passed Mike Tomlin by that this is a strategy that was okay and maybe being okay next year because all thoughts right now, or it seems like they're gonna go with Justin Fields again.
Hey, we're not gonna pay him a lot of money.
He doesn't have any place else to go to be a starter where let him start here again, we're gonna try to just go bargain basement hunting for a quarterback that doesn't work. Yeah, it's the good enough to get along and then hope that the breaks happen your way. The problem with that is everything has to go right. You're still in trusting Arthur Smith.
With your offense. You really don't like Arthur Smith. You really don't like that. A bunch of fails. You really don't like Arthur Smith. What did it show? And now you have in the aftermath, much like all the Dallas.
Subterfuge fallout whatever in the post, Luca, here's all the warts. Well, now you're getting all the reports out of Pittsburgh. Well, Arthur Smith and Russell Wilson never really got along. We're never on the same page. Common element going back to his time in Atlanta, what do we got?
Arthur Smith?
And Russell Wilson has certainly worn his share of it and gets whatever part of the blame pie you want to pass around. But you also have to have the right guy at the controls, which I'm not sure they do, but even if they did, the quarterback position is treated so with such sanctity and the it's a sacred position.
Right.
You need a quarterback and you need a guy who can chase him down and then we can build our team from there. Time and time again. For Pittsburgh, you're running in place. Yeah, you're a good team. Your defense is always going to be a board. Right, You've got guys that can get after quarterbacks and you make plays. You're opportunistic, but on the offensive side, you're not explosive. And the couple of guys that you've brought in were such headaches you had to get rid of them. And now you figure out what you do with George Pickens. Hey, look, the rest of the AFC is happy. Hey, oh hey, they're a good team and could compete, but they're not in our way because they're gonna go cheap in the water. They're gonna be a five hundred team cheap quarterback, and they're gonna sputter in December. Certain things you can't go cheap on in your life, right by buy the best television you can buy, the best bed that you can buy, the best car that you can because you're gonna spend a lot of time in front of or sitting on all of those things. Anything else. Hey, you can find a way to go cheap on. I can find a way to go cheap on this. I can go cheap on pants, I can go cheap on this. Don't go cheap on those things. And this is this is and it's the quarterback version of saying, Okay, yeah, we're gonna go by the by the cheapest car I can that might not work, the smallest television that doesn't even it's not even a smart TV. And the bed it's gonna be some lumpy mattress I found on the street. Like that's that's what the deer are doing at the quarterback position.
Well, that means you don't sleep.
And if you really invest in an expensive pair of pants, maybe you're out in heu. Maybe you're living your life and you're not in front of that TV very often. I got the best pair of pants in the world. Now, this story, this is where I get to the best part of the story. Now potentially this is not the best part of the story. An asteroid is a little bit more likely to hit Earth in twenty thirty two than it was previously reported. Like the story comes out last week that this asteroid called y Are four had like a one point five percent chance of hitting Earth in twenty thirty two. Well, now in the last week, because of the rotation and where it's going, the odds of that happening have now moved to three point one percent. Now, before you get too crazy, this is not the asteroid comes into the atmosphere, hits the Earth and the Earth blows up in half. No, it would hit someplace, you know, but it's still it's an asteroid coming to Earth. Eagles Nation put this tweet out there in response to it earlier today.
They level head. Can they spell the Cowboy now? Yeah? A S G E L G S E s uh.
They put out that the Cowboys odds to win the Super Bowl next year or plus fifty five hundred.
Okay, right, so fifty five to one.
Here's the tweet. Statistically speaking, this means the Earth is one point seven more likely one point seven times more likely be struck by a massive asteroid than the likelihood of the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl next year. So we can have an asteroid hit with a better chance than the Cowboys haven't winning.
The super Bowl. Geez, somebody call Harry Stamper. Brutal is available eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Is asteroid or the Cowboys? What's gold more.
Likely to happen? We'll take your phone calls now, well, which more constitutes the end of the world?
Look, I have to think, oh wow, okay, how about I put it in basis terms? Well, I gotta think, Well, first of all, I got to think by now, we had two big movies about asteroids hitting Earth a long time ago, right, we had Deep Impact, We had arm againdon Yeah, I think we learned we shoot it out of the sky, right, any way to do that funded a giant net that's out there, and we just weren't told or no, or we go or well, first we could send the Avengers, but you know, I don't know.
Maybe they're not around anymore. I don't know. For some reason, unexplainable reasons. We get the super Soldier to get after it.
The Avengers are not around. Why the Avengers not around? They're not around because that's lazy storytelling. They're just not around. But I think we know, I mean, I don't know if we have to send drillers to it, like we'd have to land.
I can can you land on the we can really land on the asteroid? I mean, can we can we do that?
I don't, I don't, I don't know. The weekend it's done got to be. No, we got to be able to blow it out of the sky. I mean we got to know where it is.
I mean Michael Bay showed us how it's done.
Yeah, I mean you know, maybe that's who needs to be in charge of it is Michael Bay. Michael Bay in charge of air defense for this okay asteroid? How do we get jud Hirsch involved? M uh well, jud hirsh is more aliens? If there are aliens on the asphalt, how do we know it's not being fueled and pushed forward by by alien? Does anybody have any more missiles? I'm sorry, mister President, I'm late. I'm getting kicked out of Hollywood because Wow, squatting people's homes.
But I'm here. It's my last movie.
Role before the Uh No, I gotta think at some point, like when I see the story, I go, okay, so why is it still this percentage chance to hit it? What we we can't. We can't hit it with something. Really, we know where it's gonna if we know that it's gonna hit earth, like, can't we can't we figure out a way to have some kind of explode to blow it.
I mean, really we can't. We can't. We gotta have that technology by now.
Well, I can't wait to hear of any I don't know news conferences certain elected officials may have tomorrow.
I look forward to hearing from Dan Thurman Thornton, whatever the hell his name is now By the way.
I mean, while we're talking about aliens, asteroids or whatever thing. You did see that Paul Giamatti is going to be in an art Bell bio pick Is he really?
Wow? Like that has been green lit? Well, if they're making a movie about art Bell, like they could make a movie about us. It's a can does go sideways.
Yeah, I'm not drinking Burlow no anybody, but I am leaving. Okay, we want no Merlow, no more low. We're not having Merlow. No, no's having low. Everybody's fine, We're gonna have nice time. We're gonna drink Peano. I've been pretty big influencers in the sports radio. I think that got a big stories, alienated and infuriated a number of top notch Yeah.
I'm good. The Rock could play me, James Marsden could play you. And do I get the laser eyes from Marston? Yeah? Yeah, you wear the cyclops?
Yeah, you could do the absolutely if I could do that, If we could make that part of his costume, you know, zachar from would played Frostburg Oh wow. And Timothy Shallow they would play Tyser whoa.
There you go. We get a good song and dance man. Yeah. Think about it.
Like he's been talking a lot about his method, not quite the full character. You know in in depth Daniel Dave lewis kind of method acting, but that he has his own process. I'd like to see him shadow ty Shirt for a month or two and see what he comes up with that.
It'd be interesting now now waiting. I also thought of this.
Now if I'm with me, if all else fails, will be asteroid coming to earth.
Edwin D hasn't a bucket of balls. He's missing that.
Come on, man, Even if he misses, he misses by a little bit. I'm not saying he's gonna throw it. There's gonna be a little Martian on the asteroid. That it's funny comes walking out in here. Just think about how great that would be if you heard, like if Edwin D hasn't a bucket of balls to save the earth, and you heard Narco and he's he's.
Coming out of the tunnel like from under the White Man does the lawn. He's got his arm you need, he just needs his arm.
And they play Narco when he's coming out and he's loosen up, get ready to death.
Here comes the.
Asteroid here when he has Jimmy Jimmy trumpet is playing the trumpet on on on on on somebody's shoulders and getting ready to go. He's on Owen Wilson's shoulders, ready to put it to play the trumpet. Oh that would be Jason Timothy Chalamagne. Really, why do you want to be Timothy Shallaman's good?
Who do you want to be? In two weak high.
He's a little bit older than you, but Ethan Hawk as you I'll go Ethan Hawk can do that one.
Okay, Ethan Hawk? All right? Very good, little black mask thing going is that when you're getting Yeah, I think that's good.
The penguin, different guy, Yeah, the idea Yeah, completely different Yeah, different different due different exit out about a Fresco exit swollen dome. That that's it's it's a lot of makeup.
Uh.
Jason Smith Show and Mike Harmon live from the tire Act dot Com Studios. Well if you if you like that conversation of out the asteroid Edwin he has in a bucket of balls. Wait, do we tell you what could be happening for the Four Nations Championship between the United States and Canada in a couple of days.

Yeah, Lakers and Hornets and the only game makeup of the Hanways postponed by the LA Fires a few weeks ago. We get the Lakers and the Hornets tomorrow night.
We do.
We've got college buckets tonight and so college hockey peat State wau nil over Notre Dame here obviously, but I think these games I see. Here's the thing is I think the Big Ten network. These are games that are like a month old. Yeah, but here's the thing.
I think these if I haven't seen it, it's new to me. Ucla.
This is new because I'm watching, Yes, I'm watching Mick cronin, uh pick up chairs and slam them to the ground. No, no, well they were eleven and a half point favorites at all with this one with Minnesota coming to town. Yeah, and they're beating Minnesota by five with about six minutes to go.
I just I want to say this.
Ucla has really turned their season around in the last few weeks with well McK cronin getting so upset at as players every five minutes.
For everybody's expulsion.
And now they're playing pretty well and al asudden you said, they've turned their seams Scared straight Man kind of like the saturnyn Live skit with Eddie Murphy and Ken.
I can't forget Will Farrell and cheese lasagna. I've got three cheeses in it.
I don't need it.
Uh, the biggest sporting event of the week now, because Frostburg is gonna say second, I know, Lakers, yes, Lakers and the Hornets, but Thursday night the Four Nations Championship game between the United States and Canada in hockey. Yeah, but Frostburg said Thursday, there's a bigger event than that.
What's what is the bigger tomorrow?
Oh no, no, tomorrow and Sasaki tomorrow tomorrow.
I wanted to make sure we we would I forgot the timeline for one B rookie all right, very good, and then yeah, the hockey and then and then uh yeah, well the hockey.
Now, like we talked about this last night and how the NHL this is why if you're an All Star game like the NBA, to just keep throwing stuff up against the wall. You'll find something that sticks. Because the NHL has solved their All Star situation by having an event now that should be on the calendar every year. Not only have they solved their All Star situation, they solved the mid season tournament situation everybody seems to like and Adam Silver's gonna be so jealous, going, oh man, they figured out the mid season tournament thing before we did. Yeah, the four nations thing has been great. Obviously, the United States Canada game on Saturday was the birth of this and it should be an event that happens every year. We should be letting more countries in. This was a great first event, but clearly it was amped up by the political formula surroundings, right, you know, since President Trump's taken office, he's talked about annexing Canada as the fifty first state. Canada's come back and said maybe we'll just take California. So it's been kind of a real back and forth about this. But the hey you can take California, I mean there's a lot of Americans that would get behind that. Yeah, yeah, well there there would be a by i think both ends of the train, like, yeah, there's a lot to that.
Yeah.
And so with that going on, the American national anthem got booed. There was a big start to the game. Of course, you had three fights in the first nine seconds. It was awesome.
Yeah, you hit the over in nine second. Here's two and a half over.
Oh I won. All it's an exhibition, it's a friendly Nah, not really.
I'm smoking a cigar and nine seconds into the game, my bet hit, my bet hit.
Yeah.
But everybody tried to make that about like geopolitical, like, no, they're hockey players.
Yeah they fight. Yeah, these guys have long histories with each other for a long time. But look it is a little political.
And and look Bill Garrin, who uh you know we played eighteen years in the NHL, went on went on Fox News and said that, hey, I'm hoping that President Trump comes to the championship game between the United States and Canada. And he said, look, I understand. Look this is how it goes. And you know, Trump's tariff threats and talk of making Canada the fifty first state, ratcheting up the intensity in the matchup in the preliminary round. Like like, the political aspect that Trump has brought to this has made this be even bigger than it was. And I completely agree because that's why the national anthem got booed, That's.
Why we had.
Look, it's been a big element to it. And they want Trump to attend, and the NHL wants Trump to attend. And now the first thing is first before I give you my great idea to kind of make this even bigger, I'm gonna make it even better like you, I will see. Well, so we gonna end up on a bunch of news channels from this. I mean, I really should have done my hair better. But of course there they want President Trump there because President Trump has already gone to the Super Bowl. He's already gone to Daytona. And hey, the NHL is in a period right now of of unchallenged attention right where they are getting relevance more than anything else right now because of this four Nations and if the President goes, well, that's gonna ratchet up. There's gonna be more people watching because they're gonna watch to see the President there. Well, we saw the ratings Steve gave us yesterday, right, it was a four point four, which is four times. Yeah, they want to troll Canada as well because of President Trump coming. Would troll Canada coming to this game, coming to the game in Boston. So yeah, there's there's absolute reasons. And it's more about the growth of the NHL because they go, hey, President Trump can bring a great amount of attention to hockey just by coming to this game, and I get that. Will he wrap himself in an American flag or wear a United States singlet like the Great Legend of the Olympics and the WWE Kurtain. No, no, I want him to wear like the Eruzione Miracle on ice jersey from Ninetown, I one to where the You said the throwback would be good. But now if you want a way to really ratchet this up, right, you want to.
Ratch this, you come out to I am a real American guess go ahead, f Roxburgh guests really want to amp it up? Yeah, go ahead. The loser gets Drake.
That'd be the throwing and you gotta take him. That would go to the death. Yeah yeah, that would go. Okay, that would be all you need.
Oha, whoa, whoa. We don't want to know. We get Drake. No, you don't get drag. It's like straight out of a Chappelle Show sketch. So how about this?
So so Trump says, I'll come to the game justin Trudeau, who is still is running Canada for a little while. I'm gonna come to the game too. Okay, all right, great, So they both like this, Okay, both in sweets near each other.
Got the Canadian suite the United States suite? Are they miked up? Well, yeah, you kind of have to. You kind of have to. Yeah.
And the rule is this, if Canada wins, they get California.
United States wins, we get Canada. That is not a fair train.
Better than Canada's Canada's Canada's asked work's GDP.
The Canada ask has been, Hey, what we will just addex California.
Okay, I gotta get something else. It's like a trade. I gotta get some second round draft picks in this We get.
What we could add.
We could add some stuff to that, clearly, like we get the loser. No, the loser also gets Drake.
So there you go.
There's that as well. Okay, all right, so now you have kind of have a thing there. A little bit makes money. As much as you laugh at him. It's kind of like Nickelback and Coldplay and whatever else.
You can laugh at it. But someone bought those albums.
Look, I'm okay being a pawn in this game. Us living in California. Hey, okay, maybe we get Canada, maybe we become part of cant I'm okay with that. Why not some different, start a new career, go and become the Mounty part two.
Just like look I do.
A new live action Dudley do right forget you, Brendan Fraser. I do radio appearances in Canada all the time. Man, we we be, could we we'd hit the ground running with that, be fantastic. We are an international show. I mean we're global on the iHeartRadio app I mean maybe, I mean maybe all of a sudden, like you know, all of a sudden, syrup is better, right, Poutine makes its way down like there's lots of great things. Man, Well, I mean poutine good things, kind of around things. Yeah, but no, I mean not not as I mean the Canadian poutinees. I mean I've had poutine from Canada. It's fantastic. It is really something. I mean, you talking about cheese and gravy, can't I can't go wrong with that. But I've had poutine in Canada. It is legit.
Okay, So let's make that.
So let's make everybody would watch. Hey, either we're getting Canada or we're losing California. California goes to Canada. Okay, all right, let's do it. We start getting for Tim Hortons across the country. Oh, California, Tim Horton. Y. If we get Tim Hortons, I'm in. I'm in. I would say no, I would say we go to Canada anyway. If we're gonna get Tim donuts. Yeah, I'll say at some point we need a road trip anyway. Yeah, well road we would need a road trip to we'd be part of Canada. We'd road trip to Canada. But it's still a road trip. We're going to band No, I don't need to. I could just go to San Bernardino because that's part of Canada's No. Banfit is a place b a. It sounds like it's straight out of Star it's actually just banf is actually the sound that night Crawler makes when he teleports in X Men. But it's also a place in Canada where people go hiking and and and uh hiking, So that that's a place.
How many people recognize that that's the guy from the Traders?
Mmm?
No, he had blue makeup on the entire time. I don't think so. I think they're recognized all he come.
Makeup.
I mean, just think about like United States playing Canada. These are the stakes, right, Canada scores in the first period, and they cut to Trudeau who's like cutting Canada off a map of the United States and he's pasting it up with Canada. Right the United States scores, and all of a sudden, Trump is circling Canada.
You know what he's made, and he's making a thing that he's He puts a big fifty.
One in the middle of Canada syrup. He starts chuggings go it's like dribbling down his face.
All that, all the big trolling going on.
That would be, I'm telling you, man, be the host are in this second period, he's petting a moose. That would be they bring the moose in and the moose comes in to be in the in the room. Yeah, such walking you around? Uh no, I mean that would be. And then all of a sudden, you know, Canada scores again, and suddenly, like like Tom Cruise and all these actors and actresses or everything. Hey, we're gonna own Hollywood now, Canada takes Hollywood. All right, US scores again. We got Mike Myers that's got to sit next to hear us down. A lot of miles shows up to sing black velvet. Oh you're talking, yeah, yeah, no, but I mean, forget about the Super Bowl, most watched game in the history.
Of the world. If the win.
With my idea, it would be uh yeah, with Drake thrown in there, with Drake throw at the and there's a there's an ice camera. There's also the Drake broadcast, like the Manning castuff hanging over the top of the the ice. No no, no, no, no no, he's in a cage like it's an elimination chang. No, no, you want you want two screen viewing. You want Drake giving his thoughts on camera of what could happen like the Manning cast.
You have rank and then you gets surprised by having Kendrick Lamar come on, what I can't believe we had this? What's going on? What's going on?
Turn off the game? Lamar?
Well, I mean look at that.
If that becomes the the between the second and third period, all right, we get a couple of minutes of interviews, but then we get the what happens with Drake and we can have betting lines.
Which special guest shows up?
And then it's Kendrick Lamar, Yeah, and then and then and then he just grins at the camera.
He doesn't say a word.
And then Serena shows up, and then is being just just think about this two screen.
Viewing you could have at some next level stuff. I'm ready, man, I'm ready.
We're really taking this. H four point four is nothing and we're tripling. Now, this is what there would be. I think the well, let's see what a hun I mean that's domestically. This is like the old argument I have with you over Box Office Mojo results and you're like, well it only did this domestic. I'm like it made four hundred million dollars globally. I mean this time those ratings count. Man, one hundred and twenty four million people watch a Super Bowl. I double that would watch this. If we're talking, we are talking. We're betting before we're getting double. We're not bet like crab cakes and cheesecake. No, we're betting property.
Man.
We can't get into billions were people. We are bet billions and countries man, billions and billions, Carl Sagan, billions and billions of you.
We're betting property man, we are betting states.
Meanwhile, we're only eight years away from that asteroid hitting, so we're keeping.
An eye on that. We're watching the hockey. There's a lot going on here how far away.
Well, if you really want to know, hey, this is the Andromeda Galaxy and in a few million years it's gonna swallow.
Us up entirely and there will be no more Earth. And what's that thing glowing over there that may or may not be Captain Mark that we don't know, we're not sure.
Uh yeah, that would really ratchet things up, man, that would really ratchet up. I like this any Zamboni wars in this you know where they have to raise Zamboni's and well, I think you have to have some sort of both of them on like Trump and and Trudeau, both of.
The to do the shot period, like you know, from across the ice. I don't know if we can't, I don't want.
I know we can't have any like crowd take the physical challenge. No, no, you need like the Zamboni like through an obstacle course Like yeah, no, But but I'm thinking, like we've got to have some skills competition that in addition to the on on ice hockey, that we've got to have something else that adds to the scores.
Okay, all right, sure we could do that.
Maybe we we serve up a couple of Canadians best okay, like actors or other luminaries.
So what with Ryan Reynolds and shows up? And why have you heard something? No, he's from Canada. I went for the fifteen No, no, no, I'm done with that story. I am done with that. But either way, well, I mean, you brought him up. I didn't bring him up. Why bring it up?
You could have brought you brought him a most famous Canadian actor there?
Bring it up. Who's more famous than him? Jim Carrey? I said more famous? I'm sorry. Did we go back to the nineteen nineties? Did that happen? Oh my god? We went back to the nineteen They brought him back for mony.
We went back man and he's in one of Frostburg's favorite movies.
Bieber.
Wow, you can bring up Biaber? Yeah Bieber, Yeah, Bieber plays No loser gets Bieber too. I mean you got Goss Bieber, you got former hockey luminary Michael j Five.
Oh.

For Menneican two, on the Move at Sjefferson Starship with Mickey Thomas, and from Already, Nothing's Gonna stop Us now right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm a genius. I hit the post on everything. I'm a genius. I'm an absolute genius. Really doesn't hit the same way here, since we're not a music show like I think you were doing, you know, slide over Baby hour kind of talk radio, you know where you're introducing songs, long distance dedications, stealing from the great Casey case and I think that would work here. It's like, it's good, Okay, you didn't let Grace Slick sling at all, right, Grace Slicks.
Party, you went crazy and a Valentine's Day.
We should have canceled this band long ago, not made it. Jefferson Starship, canceled it when it was air Plane. Like all these songs we're doing now we're on camera.
Past. Then you'll get what do you mean embarrassing the past? This sold really well. People liked it. We built this city. Come on, we built this city.
Right.
That's a list of worst rock and roll songs of all time. That's always at itself. Marconi played the mob and people bought it.
Right. I sold a lot of copies.
Everyone was the interview with Steve Cantoner, I think when they interviewed him on Behind the Music and they asked him about what Jefferson starship was like after they everybody left the band, and he goes, we built.
This city on rock and roll. No, we didn't, now, Uh.
Aaron Rodgers sold five hundred thousand copies in the US six hundred thousand and the rest of them.
But it doesn't that it doesn't mean.
It was good good like you see in sports talk radio and television. Being successful and being good at what you do aren't necessarily two things that are copathetic together.
Okay, that's a veryvery well so, well.
Constructed, cogent argument, and I agree with it one hundred percent. With a lucid, well thought out, intelligent objection overruled.
It sounds like a Rod Parker take. You just came, Oh, come on, Andy Reid's gotta retire.
Winning the Super Bowl covered the problems like I covered.
The twenty seven Yankees. I said, listen, Connie Mack is the best manager in the getting Jason's being bad. They were incredible, No, they weren't incredible. The Starship was. Eh, my generation needs that, dude.
If we're in a generation where Jefferson's Starship is a great rock band, we're in more trouble.
We don't have a lot of great rock bands. Thank you. Yeah.
If Starship came along, now, well, I mean, look, you did have great slick who found her way back?
Find your way back? Yeah, don't tell you it was me. I didn't vote for him. Uh.
Now Aaron Rodgers saying goodbye to the Jets. We knew this, and now Vegas has come out with the odds on Rogers next. Yeah, there are eight teams on list. We talked about the three favorites last hour. The lowest odds are on the Steelers, the forty nine Ers and the Raiders. But other teams all this you can these are teams that Aaron Rodgers could go to. These are on the list. The odds Frostburg. Who do we got.
The best odds in Vegas? No, we did the top since the last time, we've done it. Yeah, who else is back in the run? The just avast shocking.
We're eating fifty million dollars in dead cup money and still bringing him back.
That's what we're gonna do. We're smart, and they're gonna pick him up from the airport.
Sure, all right, So the best odds were the Steelers, The next were the Raiders, and then the Niners.
Okay, what's next, the Tennessee Titans. Oh, that's never happening.
It's never happened. He's not going to a tear down start over.
Not happening. Not for all the mayonnaise in the world. Is he going there? Well, remember he's not a starter anymore, right.
He's gonna come back up. Will Lovis, Hey, Aaron, hold my mayonnaise for me. All I go back on the field. All right, great, thanks appreciate. That is not happening. That would be funny. Absolutely, come on, you can be throwing at Travis Hunter. You know, maybe maybe John Ham could show up to like be the celebrity coin flip when someone could say, hey, it's Ham on the field, hold the mayo and that needs work. That's a yeah, I know, I freestyle. It's good though, freestyled that dad joke.
So I mean, all right, Scott here muffs.
That's yes.
I want them to have to have Rogers and Darnold and J. J. McCarty and Farv and Zach Wilson, get all of them, bring all into the room. But we can get a six pack of action figures for the timeline of Brett Farv and the timeline of Rogers.
It works. It's like the Thunderbolts. It can be the quarterback. I kind of dig that after that.
You giants, Oh yeah, yeah, none, none of those colts could do that.
No, no, no, sure they could. No way, no way, no way. Do you remember Phil running around as a colt? Could happen?
Oh? We got four four football on the way, but straight ahead way. Do we tell you what one commissioner said earlier tonight F
