I don't care where you're at, what you're doing, I'm just glad that you're here. I'm going to be rolling for two more hours. It's a four-hour show.

It's two up, two down. Thank you to super producer and host Dave Shepherd. He's coming to you live from New York City. If you want to listen to the first two hours of the show, if you missed it, get the Audacy app. You got a phone? Shep, you got a phone, right?

Of course. Isn't getting the Audacy app easy? It's so easy.

Just go to the app search bar and type in Audacy. Yeah, A-U-D-A-C. Why so easy? A caveman can do it.

Been easier. And them cavemen are so stupid, they don't even exist anymore. Not as stupid as some people in the media, but yes.

The ones who think that some players that are deceased are still alive? Yes. And compare, you know, Ray Ray and Beyonce. Ray Ray? Is it RiRi? Oh my God. Hold on a second.

I had to lower my chair in the studio when you said that. I think it's RiRi, right? Did you call Rihanna, Ray Ray? Okay, so that was the... I think it's RiRi.

That's right. I said RiRi, and then I was like, you know what? R-I-R-I. Yeah, RiRi. Okay, okay.

But you also have to understand something. What? She's all-time great. She's iconic. Rihanna?

Yeah, of course. With that being said, there are a lot of people that prefer other artists. Doesn't take away from her greatness.

She's great. What does that have to do with... You should have just called her Rihanna. I know, but I wanted to sound like I was hip, and it backfired. You got me. You called her Ray Ray. I know.

That didn't work out too well. That's like you asked me about the... Is Beyonce her group of friends? The Beyhives. Her name is Beyonce. Bey. Beyonce. Not Beyonce.

Beyonce. Yeah, that's true. That's why it would be the Beyhive and not the Beyhive.

That's true. And I should know that because Beyonce has been around a lot longer than Rihanna. Destiny's Child, yep. Say My Name.

You listen to Destiny's Child? Yes. Say My Name, Say My Name. Oh, okay. Look at you.

When no one is around you, say, baby, I love you. Yeah. Single Ladies. Oh, I'm a Single Lady. Yeah, look at you, Shep. Okay.

Well, I mean, it's Beyonce. You know Bills, Bills, Bills? No. Can you pay my telephone bills? Can you pay my automobiles? No.

No. Bills, Bills, Bills. Why is Beyonce in a song asking someone else to pay for her? That woman might be one of the 20 richest women on planet earth. This was young Beyonce. Yeah, but even then she was probably a millionaire. This was with Destiny's Child. Yeah, but they were raking in the money back then, too.

They were doing fine with the deal. But it was more so, can't leave me alone if you can't pay my bills. It's like when TLC did No Scrubs. You know that song, too, right? Yeah, Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls. Yeah, but different song, but yeah. Yeah, different song. Yeah, but Beyonce doesn't strike me as somebody that would be into someone because of their money. Now, I acknowledge that. I know, I know, I know, I know, but it's not like, but she doesn't need to be with him. That's out of love.

That's not out of money. She's got her own money now. I mean, I think we need to leave that one alone before I get like a call or an email. Did you, very quickly.

I don't need those problems. Did you hear the line that Chris Rock had in his special about the marriage between Beyonce and Jay-Z? How long ago was this? It was when he, it was about maybe a few months ago when he basically... Oh, was it the Netflix one? It was a year removed from the... From Getting Slapped by Will Smith.

As a presenter at the Oscars, yes. Yeah, refresh my memory. What did Chris Rock say about Jay-Z and Beyonce? So Beyonce is so attractive that she could work at Burger King and Jay-Z would still be interested in Beyonce. And then he said, now, if Jay-Z worked at Burger King, that's a different story.

Yeah, I remember that. It's true though. It's true though. And it's true. There's a lot of truth to that.

Although I do think he's so charismatic and he's just the definition of cool and comfortable in his own skin, I think he comes off as more attractive than he actually is because of his personality. Okay, yeah. But still, right?

Jay-Z wouldn't be ever working at Burger King, right? Right. I just think that, I think for women... I think for women, attractiveness is a lot more about a guy's confidence, about the way they conduct themselves. It has a lot more to do with personality, where I think for guys, we're a lot more visual. And so we look at different... I look at all the things. Right. Yeah, I want to be very clean for your program and respect that.

No, you don't have to. Listen, I'll be dirty. I look at the things with an A, all of them, everywhere. And on a more subtle level, we look at the color of their eyes, we look at their smile. I think most guys, yeah. And so with that being said, I think for women, attractiveness is much more so about, can that guy be secure for me? Can he be a security financial blanket for me? Can he be a provider? Is he going to be a good father?

Is he going to be a good husband? Where guys just say, well, it's the truth. You got to write a book, Shep.

You got to write a book. Thank you, Jay. Where guys just look at women and they... Not all guys, but some guys look at women and they say she looks good in that.

I hope she looks better out of it. I don't like bimbos, Shep. Yeah. Do they still call them bimbos? No, right? Called other things.

Called other things. But let's... You know, JR, when you're at my stage of life, you feel very confident about the woman that you're with, but you also... There's also a little bit of risk involved. I've never met anyone, truth serum, before they get married, behind closed doors. They're not going to say this in front of their soon to be spouse.

They're not going to say it to their spouse's parent or maybe even in front of some family members. But I think everybody at some level says, I don't know for sure if this is my person, but you know what? It's all the time as you get older. Yeah. When you're young, you just think you got time and you meet somebody and you're like, oh, it's going to work.

And then it doesn't work. You're like, wow, okay. Right. Right.

It's just, I think that's part of getting older. Good. So it's a little bit of a risk for everybody then.

Yeah. Unless you're Jay-Z and Beyonce, what is their combined net worth? Like two, three billion dollars?

It's got to be even north of that, you would think. I think she makes $16 million every night of her show. Well, sorry to bring this person up again, but I think... Jay-Z? No, Taylor.

I think per concert, I think per concert over a hundred million per concert. Taylor Swift? That's what I've heard. Yeah.

Oh my goodness. Didn't Travis Kelsey try to talk to her and she ignored him or something? Well, cause Taylor Swift is so easy on the eyes and the most attractive woman in the history of the world. How could she ignore anybody? Is she?

No, I was being sarcastic. I think Travis Kelsey is not a stepping stone for her. I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that Taylor Swift is out of his league. And I think she was ridiculous.

I think she was very short-sighted in rejecting that. He's Travis Kelsey. Okay. He's Travis Kelsey, Jay-R. He's not only the greatest tight end in the history of the sport, he's also incredibly suave. He's charismatic. He's got a great heart. He's a family man. You know how important family is to him.

You see the relationship he has with his parents and his brother. He deserves more time than just getting pushed aside. No, he just broke up with some lady. I can't keep up with this. He did.

He did. But that's not an excuse to just ignore someone of that caliber. Well, for Taylor Swift to ignore him? Yeah, because you know what? Let's be real. I think Taylor Swift's time, I know she's at her zenith right now in terms of a musical artist, but they don't always... Artists, man, especially from a musical standpoint, you get forgotten fast.

Athletes live on forever. I know Shake It Off, and then there's that other one. Something about bad girls?

You wanna be bad? Is that one of her songs right? I'm not sure.

I don't know the... I just know the melody of it. I ain't gonna sing it. Shake It Off is good.

Here's the thing though. If you date her, she will write a very negative, troubling song about you and the relationship she was in with you about three months after. Is that what she does? That's what she does, yeah.

Is that why women relate to her because of this? Look, I think she's an incredible talent. I think she's a great songwriter. I think she's overrated. Demi Lovato can do what Taylor can do. Ariana Grande can do what Taylor can do.

Beyonce, Rihanna, Cardi B. I don't see any distinguishable, discerning talent she has that 20 other artists have in her field right now. Look, if I had to go to a Taylor Swift concert, I would wanna rip my ears off the side of my head. Really? Oh man, I don't wanna be there. No. You wouldn't appreciate the melody, the tune, the voice, no? I'd appreciate the fact that I know if I went to a Taylor Swift concert, I'd be sitting in the suite and I'd be eating the food.

That's what I'd appreciate. So when she was alive, was the queen your type of music? And I don't mean the queen, the band. Aretha Franklin? Was that your type of music? Oh yeah, yeah. I got vinyl of Aretha Franklin.

Have you seen Aretha Franklin when she was young? Of course. Oh man. Oh, giggity. Yes.

Yeah, but go ahead. I mean, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, she deserved the ultimate respect. She was that good. Yeah, I love Aretha.

What's I gotta do with Taylor Swift? She was nasty too. Aretha Franklin, she didn't like none of these new people. She got right to the craps. So I know she sang at Barack Obama's inauguration.

I mean, she was that A-list throughout her whole life. But that's not everyone's type of music. Tony Bennett was not everyone's type of music. R.I.P.

Tony Bennett recently passed away. Right. But you do, nonetheless, whatever music you were into, you still appreciate the artistry, the talent, the vocal chords. I can appreciate what she's done. That doesn't mean I don't want to rip the ears, my ears off the side of my head.

Okay, so that's really not appreciation then. If you want to rip your ears out of the side of your head, I could see not loving it. For example, Frank Sinatra's not my kind of music. Oh, I love Frank Sinatra.

Love it. I'm more of a Michael Elvis guy myself. I think Frank is great. The King of Pop, MJ. Oh, Jackson. I like all of Michael Jackson. See, I don't particularly care for Elvis.

Really? I like Otis Redding. Otis Redding is phenomenal. Otis Redding is absolutely phenomenal.

Lionel Richie, great. I could do without. Smokey? Oh, yeah. His voice. You know he got a new album out, right? He's still going strong.

Good for him. Listen, he got an album out and he's saying freaky things. I'm like, man, you're like 90 years old. Cut it out. There's no more freaky things for you.

Stop it. I mean, Tony Bennett, I'm not saying he was singing freaky things, but he was going strong into his mid 90s, man. Yeah, but if I did find you Smokey Robinson lyrics from the new song, man, you go, whoa, bro, you're a little too old to be saying these nasty things. What about the Reverend? Reverend who? Al Green. Oh, Al Green?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like Al Sharpton. I don't like that guy. No, I would never label Al Sharpton as a musical performer. I wouldn't even say he's a performer. I would just say he's a provocateur. Well, I could say he's a performer.

Okay, right. I didn't want to give him that much credit. I would say he's more about controversy. He's like that guy Clay Travis.

Clay Travis. It's called an opportunist. Yeah. Well said. There you go.

Well, anyway, I'm gonna get angry emails from Beyonce fans and people who like Al Sharpton out. Well, my lot in life. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. We got some call us here and then we got to talk about this safety stuff in the NFL.

They get ready to change some things up. Lee is calling from San Diego. Much love to everybody tuning in on the fan. Hey, Lee, you're on CBS Sports Radio.

What's up? Hey, JR. You always come up with the most interesting topics and this one about Phil Mickelson and gambling. Yeah. I mean, if you're already a multi-millionaire. If you drop a billion over 30 years, I think that's a serious problem. Yeah, he's talked about having a serious problem. He has. Well, he should be setting his family and friends and relatives up for life with that money, man.

Donate to agents of conclusion inclusion and donate to charities, man. I should ask him. So you're telling me I should ask him for money for Special Olympics? I should, right?

No, no, you shouldn't ask him. He should just do it. Oh, okay. All right. I don't think he will, but maybe, you know, I should guilt him.

Yeah. I should reach out and guilt him into it for being a jerk. I should.

Good, good idea. Thanks, JR. I appreciate you taking my call. You have a good night. No problem, Lee.

Thank you for calling from San Diego. He's a good point. Like, you spending a bill. Don't get me started.

Don't get me wound up. People make their money. They could do whatever the hell they want with it. It's not mine. It's theirs.

They could do whatever they want with their money. 855-2124 CBS. We go on from San Diego and let's go to Tennessee. Hey, Jeffrey, you're on CBS Sports Radio. What's up?

Hey, JR. Thank you for taking my call. Certainly. Well, what part of Tennessee are you calling from?

East Tennessee, Knoxville. Okay. All right.

What's up? Just, yeah, you probably would want to stick with the fans of Stephen A. and Colin getting riled up on you rather than you would Beyonce fans. I will tell you that.

Just a little bit of wisdom. Those folks, they have fans? Well, they got that. They had to get there somewhere or another. People just mindlessly watch and listen.

I didn't know they had fans. Well, go ahead. I hear you, but I don't know of any other profession where colleagues are so hard on one another, but that's okay because everyone makes mistakes. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, what? Saying a guy is dead for two days and not saying anything about it? A mistake? People make mistakes and they apologize. True. Yeah, you're right. They should apologize. Jeffrey.

They do mistakes. Jeffrey, if I sat here on the radio and I mentioned someone and I said this, what did I say? Tommy John?

Tommy John. I was like, oh, he's dead. And then I was like, oh, he's not dead.

He's just in his 80s. But if I'm going to sit here and make some profound statement about a guy who died and I'm talking about him like he's alive, come on. You just say sorry, man. True. And that is required. Apologies should be in order there. And he's wrong for that.

He probably wasn't wrong in the beginning because he was just probably given the information and it slipped somewhere. Oh, you got to do better than that, man. True.

You do have to do your research. Hey, look, that's like me sitting on the radio going, oh, Michael Jordan and his five rings. Like, come on, man. You can't say that. I feel you. I'm with you there. I'm with you.

What else you got, Jeff? Well, my purpose was calling because of the NFL and the rule changes. I understand, you know, like Major League Baseball, they made a bunch of rule changes this year. You know, a lot of it is it has to do with entertainment and the money, you know, they NFL wants to go to 18 games.

Yeah, I agree. Cut it down to two preseason games, you know. But as a fan, I can't sit here and say that, you know, I like how these fans say, well, it's boring.

It's not about this. But, you know, the GMs and the coaches and a lot of the assistant coaches, you know, they have to make evaluations on these young players coming into the league. They want to see them in live football.

They want to see them under the lights in front of fans. You know, that's how some of them get discovered. You know, some of these young directors. We know that. We know that. That doesn't mean I got to like it. No, no, no. We don't have to lie unless you're a diehard, you know, fan or, you know, a reporter that wants to, you know, discover some young, you know, maybe a scout that wants to discover some young talent.

Sure. But, you know, it's all about the money they want to build. They want to give it a better product on the field so the fans are happy.

You know, I get it. It's all about the money. It is just like the major league baseball this year. They've cut the clock down, the pitch clock, you know, they made the game faster. They made the game more exciting.

You know, all the sports are going to that. They want to put it better. It's entertainment. They want to put a better product on the field. Yeah. Well, I don't know.

I thought, I thought everybody was, was bloodthirsty. We got less violence in the NFL now and they, they taking it away, man. Well, they didn't understand that they want to keep their key stars on the field.

That's what packs the heat, you know? Yeah, I get it. I, listen, I understand the premise of it.

I also understand that, that fans are going to continue to watch. Sure. It's like everything else though. It's, it's different. Hey, thank you. Thank you.

I appreciate your help. No doubt about it. He was getting ready to say something and he's like, all right, forget it. Look on the other side of the break, I'm going to tell you about the new NFL kickoff rule.

Like it's like you, you could, you could fair catch. I mean, this is, they're trying to completely eliminate the kickoffs and you completely eliminate the kickoff. You are going to completely start.

You're going to come, you're going to start eliminating jobs. That's what it is. I mean, guys on special teams, like what do we got them for? We'll talk about that on the other side of the break. I'm going to get some more of your calls. It's the JR sport brief show CBS sports radio. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio. Hi, JR pleasure to speak to you. You know, just recently discovered your show a few weeks ago and just got to tell you that you've got a very easy listening style. Call in now at 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS.

Thanks. It is the JR sport reshow on CBS sports radio. I told you the NFL is trying to become safer. One thing that you will certainly realize if you're going to watch pre-season, if you're going to watch the regular season, I'm sure you will, is that for this upcoming season, and it might be for one season only, the NFL is kind of tinkering around with the kickoff.

Okay. Teams are going to start at the 25 yard line. If there was a touchback, yes, you're going to be able to, to, to wave your hand in the air and say, Hey, fair catch. Basically, the NFL is trying to eliminate kickoffs.

They're trying to eliminate high speed collisions. So you can fair catch on the kickoff. No, no different than you would on a punt return. And you'd end up on your own 25 yard line. It's like a touchback. So if a kicker decides to just go ahead and kick the ball down, you can do what you want.

Wave your hand in the air. You end up on the 25 yard line and we're going to have less collisions and someone who's one of the best returners in the NFL. He's basically a Swiss army knife. His name is Cordell Patterson. He plays right here in Atlanta for the Falcons. A lot of people just don't pay him all that much attention. Some people would consider him to be a bust, but no, this guy does it all. He runs the ball. He's a receiver. He's on special teams.

He does everything. And he was chatting with the folks on the NFL network about this new kickoff rule and the change to the kickoff. And he said, listen, unless you are booting the ball out of the end zone, I am taking the ball and I'm running it back. He was asked that question and he's just like, nah, I'm running the ball. And Arthur Smith, the head coach, basically told me, man, do what you want. Take a listen to this. You're running.

Yeah. We had this talk as a, you know, as a team, really, you know, and just, they know I'm gonna bring it out. I mean, no matter where the ball kicked that, you know, if coach gave me the green light, you know, no if, ands and buts, you know, and that's what I bring, you know, back there, you know, I'm trying to do whatever I can, you know, to help my team and get gain at momentum, you know, on offense. So me back there, you know, I don't know if I'm not going to return it if I don't bring it out.

So sometimes I'll do a fair cash and they could have been. So when they kick it to the back of the end zone and you are nine, nine yards, 109 yards, I'll say nine yards, two feet and 11 inches deep, it's coming out. It's coming out. So it better make sure your kickers know how to kick it. That stinks. And Cordell Patterson, he has more kickoff return touchdowns than anybody in NFL history. Well, where would have, I don't know, where would Devin Hester be?

What about Josh Cribbs? I mean, these dudes were okay as wide outs, but they made their bones on kickoff. And what about all the other players that, that, that really only get their, their chance to play on special teams?

Like this is just the beginning. We've already seen them move the kicker up, try to have him boot the ball, you know, through the end zone. So we don't get a kickoff. And now you can have the receiver just say, Hey, I find a fair catch.

Put me at the 25. There's going to come a point in time where the NFL will find a way to completely eliminate the kickoff. It's coming folks.

It's going to happen. I mean, and it's been reported that the NFL is already exploring and not that I've sat down and watched the XFL because I have not, not any version of it, really maybe 20 years ago, I did, but the XFL has a different rule. Like they're bringing everybody closer together. And then there's another rule where you, the guy can't move until the guy gets the ball. And they're just trying to eliminate collisions. A matter of fact, this is the XFL version of the kickoff. This is what they explained on Fox.

Listen to this. To eliminate high speed collisions, we're shortening the distance between opposing players. The coverage team starts on the opponent's 35 yard line and the return team starts on their own 30. When the ball is first kicked, only the kicker and receiver can move. But once it's caught or is on the ground for three seconds, all players are free to run, block and tackle. We're giving players and coaches the chance to create kickoff excitement. Is it excitement or safety?

They're basically having the defense and the offense get closer together. I understand it. Everything is safety. I understand it all. And so I'm not going to complain about it.

I guess I am. I, I, I miss the violence, but I understand why they're doing it. I understand every reason.

Every reason why they're doing it. I guess if I want violence, I gotta, I gotta turn on the video game. If I want violence, I have to find it in boxing.

If I want violence, I have to find it in MMA. Because the fact is, if the NFL wants to be a viable product now and into the future, has to be safe. It has to change. We can't treat the NFL like we're back in the Roman Coliseum.

You can't throw a lion out there and say, uh, just go bite that guy's head off. It doesn't work that way. You got to enjoy what you've had and you got to enjoy what you got now. Cause yeah, things, things change folks. Too many threes in basketball.

No, thank you. I can look at baseball. Don't get me started.

Home runs and strikeouts. Nothing in between. Hate it. The ultimate elimination of the kickoff in the NFL. Hate it. Can't touch the quarterback. Hate it. It's easy for me to say. I'm not the one getting blown to bits out there on the field. I will miss what it was though.

One day they're going to get rid of it. Be prepared. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. I'm going to get to your calls on the other side of the break. And then I want to tell you something else.

The NFL is reportedly considering to eliminate head injuries. I'll get to your calls. I'll tell you about that. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. You're listening to the J R sport brief on CBS sports radio.

You're listening to the J R sport brief on CBS sports radio. I just wanted to mention kind of what the other caller said, patience of extension. And man, I just expect so much. How professional we are. And man, just you know, mature. You know, you're getting the high ground.

You know, just stay professional and stay being a good man. Call in now at 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. We're talking about some of these rules changes in the NFL. I've informed you about the kickoff. You know, now the returner can basically call a fair catch. We've already seen the kicker get moved closer to the opposition, which has resulted in more touchbacks. And now you can fair catch the ball. They're going to eventually get rid of the kickoff completely.

And I think even outside of that, the league, the NFL is changing. They're doing it for safety reasons. I don't blame them. Less concussions, less injuries. And that's just what they want, right? People are still going to show up.

And that's not all. I'm sure throughout the course of the preseason and training camp, over the past season or two, you've probably seen the players running around with these, these bubbles on their heads. These things are called guardian caps. So the NFL requires linemen, linebackers, tight ends to wear these things on the top of their dome starting last season. Now, what has been said is by an NFL executive, Jeff Miller, is that these guardian caps, one day, they might be worn in games. And we know that technology and the helmets, it feels like every year they change. There's more cushioning. There's, there's more padding.

What am I going to say? If you've seen the guardian caps, they're going to be worn in games. And we know that technology and the helmets, if you've seen the guardian cap, these, the players look like they, the, the great gazoo, they look like the chef, you know, the great gazoo from the Jetsons and the Flintstones.

Meet the Jetsons. The green guy. No, you don't know the green guy? No, I, of course.

No, absolutely. I know gazoo. Yeah. With the big old helmet. Like from a, he looks like a Rick Moranis from what movie is that? Uh, is it Spaceballs?

Maybe it's not Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Yeah, he's like, he's like imitation Darth Vader. And he has on a gigantic helmet. Uh, yeah, I think that might be Spaceball. I think John Candy is in it. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is. And so, yeah, it looks out of place.

Right on the Spaceballs. 1987 was by Mel Brooks, right? Yeah.

And Rick Moranis is wearing a giant helmet. Correct. You are correct, sir. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, uh, things change. Do I think we're going to see NFL players running around with bubbles around their head? Uh, no, I just think it'll eventually get implemented into the, the helmet technology.

It changes a part of life. I say it all the time. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. Lou is calling from Rochester. What's up, Lou? Hey, JR. Outstanding show as usual. Um, I want to applaud you for acknowledging, um, misand there earlier.

Everybody loves, um, yeah. Um, listen, I don't know if they could completely get rid of the kickoff. Uh, although I think that five years ago or so, they actually ended up having a consortium, which included NFL players, including Steve Tasker, who should be in the hall of fame as a great special team on, uh, to, to pull whether they should entirely get rid of kickoff. Um, as, as the matter of like, I don't know if they could call themselves the NFL, the national football league without the kickoff just for somebody kicked the ball for field goals, still a kick.

Yeah, but, um, I don't know, pumping and field goal kicking. I don't know if that, uh, anyhow, the reason they're doing it is to avoid collisions. They think that it's going to eliminate 10% of returns, but like Patterson says, uh, and special teams coaches instruct, if it doesn't make the goal line, it's going to get returned. So I don't know if they're really going to get a 10% reduction at eight.

They already say it depends on how many folks are going to run it back at this season is basically going to be an entire test for that. And thank you Lou for calling from Rochester eight five five two one two four CBS, David, the repo man is back. I'm going to ask him how many cars he got last night. Hey, David from Detroit, you're on CBS sports radio. What's up? Yo, yo, what's up? It's your boy.

Not my boy. How many cars did you get last night? Did you get to seven or eight? I got to the eight. I got the eight. How long did it take you?

When did you finish? It took me seven hours. It's so you got one car an hour. Yep.

Yes. How many cars do you have tonight? So I got one but I got two waiting on me right now. What does that mean? You have two cars waiting on you?

What does that mean? That means they're sitting pretty. They're just waiting. They're just waiting for me. They're ready to go. Does someone voluntarily do people know when you're coming? Yes, they know I'm coming because it's like they didn't call them about 100 times saying please give me my money.

People don't voluntarily offer their car back. No. Yeah. Yeah. We get a bunch of those.

I had one of those last night. Oh, that's good. So I see every, hey Shep, see every, every interaction isn't filled with strife. Yeah.

And so I, you know, Dave, I've never, I've never experienced that myself. So I didn't know that the lengths you went to to avoid a catastrophic situation repossessing the most important or one of the most important possessions someone will ever have. So in that instance. It's not their possession, Shep. It's not theirs. Right. So I didn't realize, I didn't realize you were looking at it from a peaceful manner and trying to help them as opposed to, you know, the last step, which is ultimately taking what is not theirs anymore. So I respect what you do that much more now.

It's okay, Shep. You tried to bench the star player last night, but you know, I love the game. I love the hustle. I'll be feeling like one of those ball players, you know?

But you know, if I leave, is this game still going to love me, man? When you repossess a car, you got like a big chain. You got like a big chain. I got a, my truck picks it up.

I got like a big boom on the back. My truck picks it up and rolls it away. Oh, so you didn't have to get out the vehicle. You just slide in the back and just pick it up, huh?

Slide in and slide out, you know, that's what she said. Hey, hey, hey, relax. So what do you got to say about sports? Go ahead.

Go ahead. You know, about the collisions and all that, that's why I watch football. I want to see the hard hits. I want to see that. You're getting all those million dollars.

You know, it comes, it comes with something, you know, entertainers. I want to see that. I don't want to see those big Mars attack helmets going on. I don't want to see that. I want to see like RIT, Sean Taylor, but I want to see those big hits, man. I want to see the collisions. Yeah, they're still there.

They're just few and far in between, man. You know, also I want to talk about the sports bet. I think I have a big solution for this. I believe the players should be able to support that, but I believe that they should only be able to bet on themselves if they pick the, if they pick their game to bet on. So bet on their team, bet on themselves.

And then that way we keep it competitive. That way you can go get your money, man, because you know, this is a profit nation. So come on and that's mind the profit. All right. Well, thank you, David, for calling from Detroit.

Hey, listen to your GPS and get the next vehicle. Okay. Oh yeah. You already know. Also, if you guys ever want to check me out, I am on YouTube. It's David space, AKA Vegas. You can watch me repost some vehicles.

I never said that before. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You are repossessing vehicles alive on YouTube.

Not live on YouTube, but I got the videos, you know, I edit them up. I'm talking, I'm taking you through it all, you know? All right, David.

I thank you for calling from Detroit. Okay. Check me out. I will possibly.

Okay. Thank you, David. Hey Shepa, are you still giving him, so you still giving him an olive ranch? He is, he is publicizing his vehicle repossessions on YouTube. I mean, maybe that does some kind of good for society. Maybe it's an ultimate public service because it really tells people not only are you going to take your most valued possession or what once was your most valued possession, but we're going to humiliate you in the process. David is going to put the repossession on YouTube.

Oh my God. One of my favorite shows a long time. It doesn't come on TV anymore. It was a show called parking Wars.

You ever heard of that Shep? It was a show called parking Wars. It came on Annie and it was a, it was a show highlighting all of the pain that people had to go through with their vehicles from getting tickets to getting their car out of the impound lot.

Everybody is arguing with the, the ticket person who writes them the ticket on the street. It was entertaining. It really was. And to know that Dave, Dave, Dave, is this the name? Dave, the repo man, right? David.

Yes. Dave, the repo man is a, could you imagine, could you imagine having your car now? Now he's going too far. Can you imagine having your car repossessed and then you see it on YouTube the next day because David posted it? I mean, damn.

Yeah, that's, that's rough. Unless, unless he makes a certain amount of money from those videos and from that money, he quits. It allows, you know, he can refinance that car and ultimately give it back to its prior owner. He should take his ad money and pay the car off for somebody. I mean, I mean, you want to talk about the ultimate Robin hood.

My respect would go through the roof for David if that's what he did. I got it. I got it.

I didn't want to ask him again what the channel was, but I'm gonna try to find it. Am I bad? Am I supporting it if I watch?

No, only if you comment. Okay. All right. 855-212-4CBS. Tony's calling from Charlotte. What's up, Tony?

Hey, JR. I was calling, I know earlier you were speaking on Beyonce and Rihanna and all, but I was just wanting to say that my favorite it would be Toni Braxton. I think she's just awesome. What do you think about her?

Is she all right? I mean, what are you asking me about Toni Braxton? Well, you know, I'm just a big fan. I just love her voice and everything. And I know she's not rated successfully compared to Beyonce. Well, she hasn't had the same type of success. Right. No, she certainly hasn't.

And mainly I was just wanting to know your opinion on it. Okay. And she also has, I can't, well, I don't need to get cussed out here. I'm going to get in trouble.

She has a, there's some things that have been said about her, Tony. Oh, okay. Okay. So, right. You know, well, I didn't know that.

Could I ask you one more question? In your opinion, who was the harder hitting safety, Ronnie Lott or Jack Tatum? I know Ronnie Lott, so I'm impartial. You can't, well, I'm partial. You can't get an honest stance out of me.

I'm going to say Ronnie Lott every time. Oh, okay. I got you. Well, JR, this is, I'm a first time caller and I certainly appreciate your opinions and thank you very much.

Oh, no, thank you, Tony. I appreciate you for calling from Charlotte. Call back anytime. Okay. Thank you very much.
