Hey y'all, it's Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke. Y'all know our fans are like family to us, and family watches out for each other, especially when we're out riding.
So before you or your crew get on your motorcycles, make sure you're good to ride. Even one drink could be too many. Don't let a good ride end the wrong way. This little real channel It ain't nothing new. We all stick around.
Ride sober or get pulled over. Welcome to the jungle, HMENS Tuesday 2. My name is Jim Rome. Program is brought to you by FanDuel. As always, nice to be here.
Good to have you here. Lots of things going on on this Tuesday.
So, if you want to be a part of the program, get up in here. You know where to find me. Because again, I'm not hard to find. You can find me on X. You can find me in the chat.
You can find me on email. You can find me on the phones. Just pick whatever works best for you. 1-800-636-8686. We are on X at Jim Roam.
We are on email at Roam, R-O-M-E, at have a tate.com. And of course, we are in the chat. If you go find my YouTube channel, Hit sub, ring the bell, jump in the chat. Do whatever you want. All right, so coming up today, we are open until 1:20.
I live on the west coast, so these are Pacific Standard Times. 1:20, I've got the head football coach in Virginia, Tony Elliott. Coming off a really good year last year and off to a good start this year. Virginia head football coach Tony Elliott, 120. Arizona head football coach.
Brennan Brennan, 220. And in and around all that, who knows with you clones, right? Who knows with you, Clones, and who knows what other major sports team might be sold? I feel like I'm walking down the hall. Kind of sort of thought the Angels might be for sale.
Didn't really know. Went and got some man cake. Oh, what do you know? They're sold. Allegedly.
Damn. I mean, like, major league franchises. Teams are being traded like playing cards. No way, Artie. Things were going so well.
Why would you sell? Everything was going so well. Yeah. Why? Just because you said for the record that the fans don't care whether the team wins or loses is no reason to sell.
and needed another team is no reason to sell. Just because he's way richer and way better. Does mean you should sell to him? Actual yes it does. All right, so there is that.
Breaking news. Take the monkey with you, my guy. Adam Rank, it's safe to go back to the yard. Hell, I might even get my season tickets back. All right, so there is that.
That's just in. All right, in the meantime, that's not where I was going to start. That was just kind of breaking. Like I said, I got my man cake. I'm walking down the hall, and like, oh, well, that just happened.
Are there going to be other any other teams sold during my open? That I'm not aware of. I mean, damn, again, they're trading franchises like playing cards. All right, so all of that. Angel fans, if you want to rejoice.
Or get on the program, hit me up. That's not where I want to start, though. I want to start, though, with the NFL. And we are counting down the days until we finally get pro football back, which is such a good thing. Yet, there's still a quarterback battle that we basically have not talked about all training camp.
Now you know it's not the Browns quarterback competition because we have covered the hell out of that. Even if it is. One of the lamest, weakest, most pathetic quarterback competitions we've ever seen. We have also certainly talked plenty about the Vikings QB competition, even though that was a competition that was never actually a competition. But do you know who we have not checked in with?
The Fail Clowns. Eh. Man, that was some straight fire back in the day, wasn't it? Who's worse than the Giants? How about the fail clown?
AKA, the team in Atlanta. That I really don't like calling the fail clowns. I thought that was one of the lamest glosses ever. Unfortunately, A fail clown just went full fail clown, and that fail clown could also still be named Atlanta's week one starter at quarterback. Even though I think that'd be a terrible decision for the Fail Clowns.
Of course I'm talking about Tua. Turn the ball over. To a turn of all over. Uh KD Tunga Vailoa, the dude who used to be on the Dolphins. And with Michael Pennix Jr.
coming back from a torn ACL, it seemed like Tua had a great shot at wrapping up this job while handling the majority of snaps during camp. But incredibly, He didn't do so. He has not wrapped that job up. Since the Falcons still have not named a week one starter and don't really seem all that excited to hand him the job either. And you know what?
I wouldn't be either. For what it's worth, I would not be either. In fact, if I were Kevin Stafanski, I wouldn't even be considering Tua for that starting job unless Penix absolutely cannot go in week one. And even then, I'm not basing that off of to his social media activity, but also what he just did on the Graham today does not exactly inspire confidence, nor does it help his cause. Because earlier this morning, Tua posted some picks from his big preseason revenge game against the Dolphins last Friday night, and he tagged it with for the A.
And a saluting emoji. Pretty normal. Pretty innocuous. But where it got pretty abnormal And full-on awkward was when Tua replied to his own post. He replied to his own post with the words, and I quote, We're so proud of you.
You got this. Heart emoji We're so proud of you. You got this? Heart emoji? Um Carl Lewis time.
Oh oh Tua. Why are you telling yourself We're so proud of you. You got this. Who is we? My dude Did you forget to switch to burner?
Or even worse, Did you just post to yourself? My dude. Did you really just K D yourself? Even Kevin Durant is cringing at this, bro. What's next?
Someone going to leak DMs of you trashing all your teammates too? Actually, that wouldn't even be a surprise. Or even the first time that's happened. Not to Tua. Damn.
Katie Tungavailoa. First time ever on social media? Diratua We're so proud of you. You got this. Love Tua.
Of course, the internet is only making one assumption, and that's social media has already decided that this dude just forgot to use a burner. But in fairness to Tua, maybe, I don't know, maybe he's the president of his own fan club. Maybe he thought that he had not been giving himself enough credit lately. Or maybe it's possible that it just wasn't him. Maybe it's possible that this was the mistake of somebody managing his social media accounts.
It's even possible that. It was a mistake by his wife or something. Who knows? Who knows? Who cares?
I just want to be fair to Tua and acknowledge the possibility that Maybe it's not on him. Maybe he didn't do it. Or maybe he did. Maybe it also might just be another example of Tua being Tua, because Tua being a little bit kooky and a little bit unfocused. and not having the greatest decision making is nothing new.
Let's not ever forget. That whole controversy last season in Miami. You know, the one that I just alluded to. Remember when Tua ran his teammates under the bus? For blowing off and showing up late to a players-only meeting when the team was one in five.
Only to basically walk it all back a couple of days later and admit. That's what he was airing his teammates out for never actually happened. Oh, and on top of that, don't forget. Tua himself threw three picks in that game that dropped the Dolphins to one and five before he went to the podium, to the podium. And ran his teammates under the bus and then backed over them.
And then could even stand on his own comments.
So that l that social media kerfuffle today. It's really light work. in comparison for Tua. It was just one comment from him to him. That's nothing compared to what he did to his teammates last year in Miami.
It's just important to remember what happened last season. And then keep that in mind when you look at what happened on the Graham earlier today. Because the last time we saw two on the field, He was horrendous. He got benched. He lost the locker room.
He got the head coach run, even though the head coach did everything in his power to make it work with this dude. And on top of all of this. Even with a fresh start. It's not like he's been any better this preseason either. In fact, he was one of the single least impressive quarterbacks ever.
This preseason. I mean, in all of the preseasons, not just this preseason, like in every preseason. Check this out. At Sharp Football. Quote.
To an average, 2.8 air yards per an attempt this preseason. 2.8 That's 82nd out of 82 qualifying quarterbacks, out of 508 quarterbacks in a single preseason since 2000. to a ranked number five hundred and seven. in air yards per an attempt. He was five hundred and seventh out of five hundred and eight.
The only quarterback worse was Max Duggan. In 2023. How is that even possible? How could you even average 2.8 air yards against preseason defenses when you're a veteran quarterback and a former fifth overall pick. How could this dude be 82nd out of 82?
and five hundred and seven out of five hundred and eight. Even JJ McCarthy cannot believe how far this dude has fallen. And yet, Why am I piling on? he might start week one for Atlanta. Why?
What is the upside? Don't they have anybody else under contract? This dude's confidence is shot. He's never had that much arm talent. He refuses to push the ball downfield, hence the 2.8 yards per an attempt.
And oh yeah, he's made of porcelain. and is one of the most injury-prone players ever.
Meanwhile, Michael Pennix Jr. has only made 12 starts. And since the Falcons drafted him eighth overall only two years ago. And yes, I know he's not exactly available that often either. But Don't you want to find out what you have in this guy?
And yes, I understand. He was drafted by a different regime. but still Atlanta's own top ten pick on a rookie contract with a massive arm that we really have not seen for an extended stretch yet. You gotta play the guy, right? He's gotta play.
They need to figure out what they have in Pennix way more than they need to figure out if Tua has a clue. Tua is a dude playing on a one-year veteran minimum contract anyway. And he's already shown plenty of times that he really doesn't have a clue. including earlier today when he responded to himself on Instagram. Like a total doof.
At this point, I'm not really sure what's more embarrassing to his act on the field or his act off the field, but none of it speaks well to his ability to process, his decision making or even his mental state. He's responding to his own posts. He's not even averaging three yards per completion. I can't start a quarterback who comments on his own posts. And throw his teammates under the bus.
And can't even average three yards per pass attempt in the preseason. I can't. I'm not Kevin Stafansky, so it's not my decision. But if it was, Penix is playing. If he's healthy, period.
And if he's not, I think I'd still rather see Cooper Rush out there than Tua. It panics isn't ready. Until Cooper Rush starts responding and commenting on his own posts. And is averaging under three yards per completion. I'm going to go with him.
Because again, I just don't see the upside with Tua. And it's got nothing to do with that doofy Instagram reply. It was just a good reminder. To hit a bizarre quarterback situation, which we really haven't touched on yet.
So you are welcome, fail clowns. We finally talked about your quarterbacks. Fail clowns. And I would apologize for going all fail clowns on you. But what the hell else am I supposed to call you guys when your possible week one starting quarterback forgets to switch to his burner account or?
knew that he didn't switch and just commented on his own post. And then was averaging less than three yards per an attempt. During the preseason. If that's not fail clownsing. I don't know what is.
You got this, bro. Sign me. Tua, you got this stud. Signed it, Tua. I gotta log on to my Instagram account.
Yo, Vance Mack. You're gonna kill it today, like you always do. You're the best. Signed, Vance Mack. Let me see.
Let me check out the reaction.
Okay. Let me go to my Instagram page. Hey, Vance Mac. Rack yourself. You're incredible.
Sign back, ma'am. What Tua, what are you doing, dude? You know, you're spending way too much time on your phone if you can't make a distinction between your burner phone and your real phone. and whether or not you're commenting on your own posts. Don't come.
And again, I get it. Like, you could hit the wrong thing. You can thumb out the wrong thing. It happens. It's not nearly as offensive as you getting up on the podium and then.
Backing the bus over your teammates for not showing up for a players-only meeting that you called, which showed exactly how little they thought of you as a leader. And what are you doing calling a players-only meeting to berate your teammates when you threw three picks, which led to the team falling to one and five? Of course, they didn't show up. As far as the ones that showed up late, at least they showed up.
So, I guess I can forgive you saying, you got this, bro. Signed, bro.
Okay. Weird. Anyway. My point of the whole thing is, it's the one quarterback competition that we really did not hit on. But I I can't ignore it any longer.
Not after that. 1-800-636-8686. Now, if you think I wake up every single morning looking for a reason or an update, if you think I spend every hour on the hour hitting refresh on that niner scammer, Desjean Love, if you think I'm about that life, you're right. I am. I am and I do.
And I found another reason to talk about that guy. Actually, a couple of reasons. Number one, we have the mugger. The mug shot's out. If there's a mugshot of somebody famous, we're talking about it.
That's just kind of how it is. Number two, there are other ladies coming forward discussing how they got scammed. I would love to say that I feel badly for you gals. But I really don't. Because this dude This dude was so unconvincing.
How did you fall for any of this? I own a twenty million dollar home in Beverly Hills that I just bought in March of last year or this year. No, last year, in 2020. It was today. No, it was yesterday.
No, it was last year. No. No, I don't have a $20 million home in Beverly Hills. Give me your $11,000. Give me eleven thousand grand or eleven thousand dollars and I'll buy you a Corvette.
And then you can come hang out with me in my twenty million dollar crib. in the flats in Beverly Hills. Does that sound fair? Wait, let me get this straight. I give you 11 grand.
You buy me a... Corvette worth over six figures, and then we go party at your twenty million dollar crib.
Okay. This is my bed, it's about an eight thousand dollar bed. And then we can lie down on my $8,000 bed and get nice. Except the $8,000 bed is not in my Beverly Hills crib.
Now that crib That $15 million crib. That's got a $500,000 bed. You gotta be special to get that bad eight thousand. Anyway, now I know why that dude never takes his helmet off. He doesn't want you to know what he looks like.
Or at least his hairline. Anyway. Got an update on that. Also an update on Tony Romo, who released a long and heartfelt statement and admitted that he has an alcohol dependency.
So where do we come out on that? Forgive and forget. I always say this. I always say this. Even though the world has changed dramatically and hate is the new dopamine.
America remains an extremely forgiving country of their celebrities. And they're athletes and they're famous people.
So if you say you're sorry and you mean it, It's legit. You're not saying you're sorry because you're sorry in this situation, but you're actually sorry for what you did. People will forgive you.
So, I'll break down that statement and we'll have that a little bit later on.
Some other things that I want to get to. Before I go to break that I want to tell you about really quickly. Stan Cronke acquires the Angels. I mentioned that already. Monkey is monkey.
Shoot! saw an amazing game-saving grab. Last night that I want to get into. Have you seen that brawl on a youth football field with coaches? Totally out of hand.
Coach GM Chris Boward said that NFL players going back to college is, quote, The dumbest bleep ever. All right. You're not the only one saying it. You're the only one saying it like that. Let me ask you something, Chris.
Is it dumber than drafting Anthony Richardson? Because that seems like the dumbest bleep ever. It's close though, right? And we got a whole lot more. Got a little tennis, got a little baseball.
All these things to get to. Telephone number is toll-free. Get up in here, use it. Hit me up on the chat.

Labor Day weekend is back, and so is football. The tailgate's set, and everyone's ready for game day. But once the final whistle blows, there's one decision you can't afford to get wrong. If you've been smoking marijuana, don't get behind the wheel, period. It's illegal and driving high could get you a DUI.
When you're on the field, the game needs 100% of your attention. Research shows that marijuana impairs motor skills, lane tracking, and cognitive functions. You're putting yourself and everyone else on the road at risk. Studies state that the THC in marijuana also hurts a driver's ability to multitask, a critical skill needed behind the wheel. That's not a stat you want to be a part of.
Law enforcement is out there calling the penalties. Guys, they can tell when you're high. Look, if you drive high, you could get a DUI.
So huddle up and call the right play before kickoff. Plan a safe ride, call a ride share, or crash on the couch. You can be the MVP this time. Because the only smart play is the safe one. Drive high, get a DUI.
Paid for by NHTSA. Yeah. And one day, playing pirates and princesses will be a cherished memory. But today, today you'll discover Neverland together with Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Today, you won't just dress up like a Disney princess, you'll meet real ones too.
And today, both your faces will light up brighter than the fireworks.

So I'll tell you what chumped today. This whole conversation about LA and how soft we are, and what a horrible sports town this is, and all based on the fact that USC opened up against San Jose State, and nobody showed up. And USC tried to say that there were like fifty thousand plus. And I talked about it on the program yesterday. I posted about it on the Gram.
And there was a lot of reaction, lots of reaction. And people were still reacting to it. Here's a SoCal native. Who wants to weigh in? This is actually via email.
Pampin' the box.
SoCal native here. Call me soft. But I'm never sitting. In 100-degree heat and 70% humidity at noon to watch any game ever. If folks in flyover country want to wear that flux as a badge of honor, cool.
I guess. You go ahead and flex on your amazing fortitude earned by sitting on the surface of the sun for four hours to watch a glorified week zero scrimmage in Tuscaloosa or Columbus. I'll flex on my 75 degree weather nine months a year and margaritas on the beach at sunset. Sean in Lisa Viejo. At slave to the 405.
There's something to that. And again, This is what I tried to say yesterday. This is what I've been trying to say for 30 years. I'm not here. Saying this is a damn good sports town.
You just don't get it. I've never said that. I'm not a native. I've never said that. What we are is a great front running sports town.
What we are is a town of options. Like it or not, I'm not saying we're better than you. I'm saying that this is a major metropolitan. This is Hollywood. This is LA.
This is Southern California. This is Orange County. There are so many things to do here. It's not a great sports town.
Now, we have a great sports tradition. The Lakers, the Dodgers. The Rams have had a hell of a run. But it's the ultimate, what have you done for us lately? I'll give you an example.
We're not like you Browns fans. For instance, you can't have an organization abuse you and suck every single year and expect the fans to keep coming out. Your fans are way better than our fans. I'm not even going to say hey hey Sea Town. It's because you have nothing else to do.
I would never say that. I love Sea Town. It's not like Buffalo, where when things are not good and it's freezing, the fans will keep coming. LA is not like that.
Now, if you give them a reason to, they will. I juxtaposed this yesterday against 2009 when the Trojans opened up against that same San Jose State team in that same weather, in that same Coliseum, and there were 80,000 people. Why? Because they were rock stars, because they were awesome, because they were great, because they were the best party in town. But no.
They're not he this guy's right. Sean's right They're not going to come out for a game against San Jose State when that USC team has not made the college football playoff under Lincoln Riley, and the fans are still jaded. And they're not convinced. They need to see it first. They'll find something else to do.
There's a better party and they're not at it. Why is this so controversial? Why is it so y'all suck? You're the worst sports fans ever. Oh, you mean the Dodgers, who draw like four million routinely, terrible sports fans, won't come out.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. They're ruining baseball. I'm just saying. They will come out. They will come out if you win.
But if you don't, they will find something better to do. And if they have a choice between going to a Trojans San Jose State game. And the beach, and it's 400 degrees, and there are record-breaking temps. They're not fighting the traffic. By the way, have you been to LA?
Have you been on the 405? Have you been on the 101? Have you been on the one ten? Have you been on these freeways? Have you been to Southern California?
It is not easy to get around. Another reason they're not going to fight those elements unless they have a good reason to. And it's not just USC. It's pretty much everybody. UCLA has lost a lot of fans.
We saw the angels. When Adam Rankin used to come on and Honk Friedzange was on the after hour, he kept going back to 02, 02, 02, 02. You know, the year they won the World Series. Yeah, that joint was packed. Pact.
Now what is it? Rat. Infested. And for sale. And the possums.
It's Southern California. And I've said it. I'm not going to sit here and go, great sports town, just like Philly, just like Chicago. It's nothing like those towns. The hell are we even arguing about?
I'm agreeing with you. The hell are we even arguing about? You hate LA. I get it. Mm-hmm.
1-800-636-8686. Here's another one. Rome. I know it's not Friday, but can we get a deck of yeah? Yeah, Kronky.
Agreed to buy the Angels? Finally, we have a chance to get back to winning baseball in Anaheim. That is the best thing we have heard as an Angel fan in a long time. Signed JP and Riverside. We're getting trout to the playoffs one day again.
War swing the bat. Puss. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah. It is a good and positive development.
Swing the bat puss. Been a minute, HUD. What up, hud? And you bring that because I got something for you. Jeez better be careful coming over here.
You you you you better get a chin strap on that helmet. HUD was beloved. HUD was one of the early jungle legends. Man, my man could tell a story. HUD told some of the best stories ever in the jungle way back in the day.
That's where the swing-the-bat puss came from. Swing the bat puss. us. Unit You get back up on that launching pad. Also, a great line back in the day.
You're a major leaguer. Shake yourself. Get back up on that launching pad unit. We are not done with you. You imagine Rex Hudler, a Love Hud Hud.
You know, I mean nothing but love and respect when I say this. Imagine Rex Hudler. Telling a prime Randy Johnson. Get back up on that launching pad unit. We are not done with you.
Get back up on that launching pad, unit. We are not done with you. Great baseball vernacular. A launching pad. The mound was a launching pad for Randy Johnson.
Get back up on that launching pad. We are not done with you. Kick yourself. Anyway, good, good HUD flashbacks. All right, when we come back.
Mm-hmm. Well, that topic jumped today. I mentioned the fail clowns. I thought that was some of the lamest gloss ever. I never wanted to use it, but it seemed appropriate this morning.
Talking about their quarterback situation. How about the 49ers receiver situation? They're down a guy. Not Ricky Pearsall. Not even Brandon Ayuk.
Dajon. You know why they're down, Dijon? He's in jail. You know why he's still in jail? Incredibly enough, they consider him a flight risk.
No way. Where would that guy go? We'll hit on that. My thoughts on Tony Romo, a major brawl. This is usually chum.
Like Bottom feeding.

Alright, so going through some of your reaction. At Glen Echo Phantoms. Dear Jim. Even we think youth football coaches are out of control regards obese women fighting in the McDonald's dining room. Didn't we actually get a reason for that, Brawl?
I don't remember what it was, but I think there was a reason for that. I think they had a good reason to let the hands go. The youth coaches, I'm not so sure. Listen. If you come up, and I think many of you watching or listening, by virtue of this being a sports show, you've experienced youth sports.
Baseball, basketball, football, soccer. And we've all been there. And seemingly, almost every single game has one. At least one.
Sometimes way more than one, but no matter what, at least one. See, where we brought our kids up. It was not like this crazy, over-the-top sports powerhouse community. Or lying in California. It's not that.
In fact, the high school that our boys went to, they were much better at that school, much better at chemistry. Much better at algebra, much better at calculus than sports. And they were good at some sports. Just not the important ones, no offense, University High School. Damn good high school though.
Damn good high school. You know what's good high school when the kids all graduate from the high school and they all say college is easier than the high school. but not exactly a sports powerhouse. I myself did not attend a sports powerhouse. Dr.
Jano went to a sports powerhouse in high school. Anyway, when we brought our kids up, if we went... And we played either travel ball, high school ball, Generally, there was one. There was always that one a-hole. Just that one guy.
That one guy that made everybody's life miserable, or at least the other side miserable, because he'd never shut his mouth. And just obnoxious, obnoxious things to say about kids. We're teenagers. But Nothing that ever spilled onto the field. And even rare was the occasion where somebody would confront that guy because you just kind of knew that it was assumed every game had one.
But then some of these videos that you see Of youth football or AAU basketball or even soccer. Like, look at this. If you're watching this on our stream right now, New York Post has this: quote: Insane brawl breaks out at youth football game in Pittsburgh. Normally, the post will go with things like insane brawl, but this is an insane brawl. Look at the coaches, not even on the sideline, but on the field.
This dude. Going up to a dude three times his size, and the guy three times his size seems to like he's trying to de-escalate. And the smaller guy is not backing down at all.
Now there's a woman in that guy's face. And now he's actually put hands on the woman. And then the guy sees another guy sees this, and he tries to jump the guy. And then that dude starts throwing hands. And now it's a full-on brawl.
This guy's looking around, he's not getting off the field, he's going to fight everybody. That dude wanted a piece of everybody. That dude went for the takedown, and the other guy quickly got on top of him, cracked him once. But this dude wants to fight. Anybody and everybody.
Like, I don't think you really want a piece of that dude. He's three times your size, but he does. He's like, let's go. You want to go? You want to go?
And then a woman gets right in the middle of it, and that's not good because he put hands on her. That's why that other guy jumped in after that dude put hands on that woman. By the way. Aren't the parents supposed to break the kids up from fighting? What are the kids doing trying to break up fights from the parents?
How does it get to this? Like, I understand people care, and I understand people care too much. But that's not like a disagreement. That's like assault. And then, of course, if you're that guy.
And you're on the internet and it goes viral. I'm guessing that's going to impact your life in a negative way. You're lucky if you keep your job. You're lucky if your employer doesn't see that and fire you. How many times have we seen that happen?
Hope that was worth it. Got a bunch of eight-year-olds on the field looking at the parents having a full-on brawl. Trying to make some sense of it. Yeah. We're to lead from the front.
We're to lead by example. The the hell could have possibly happened. For a brawl like that to take place. Anyone want to react to that? Anyone ever experienced anything like that?
Anyone have any thoughts on that? If you're watching it on the stream, if you're hearing this on the radio, it's. It's as bad as it sounds. And it's mostly one dude trying to fight everybody. Everybody.
Let's see here. Terrence Harrison six eight seven six. We need the Git Lady stat. Get it!
So true. Exactly. And where was she? We need her and she said, promise she can't be everywhere at once. She can't be in more than one place at once.
We need the get lady. Stop. Stop it right now. We need her in so many different places. We really needed her in Pittsburgh.
But I don't know where she was. Woo! It was. Nicholas Williams, 6697. I heard that one of the sports dads was heard to yell, scrumptious.
Just before the melee broke out, It's pretty funny. Except that whenever I did that, people laughed. There was a portion of the stance where we're like, huh? Mostly people thought it was just kind of Awkward and funny. See Bud Seely.
I used to do that if Logan was on the mound in a tight situation and I could tell it was tight and the game was on the line. And if he got some kind of swinging miss, I'd be like, scrumptious. Scrumptious. And Logan be like, yo, pop. We'd be in the car on the way home.
Yo, Pop, can you maybe not do that anymore? I'm like, what? Do what? Did it work? Did you win?
All right then. That's the other thing, too. The most drama we ever had was after a game. Jano would say, Don't talk to him. Don't talk to him.
Don't talk to him. Let it be, let it be, let it be. on my channel. Jano Honey I love you. Please don't tell me that I cannot talk to our son after a game.
Do I look like that dad who's in Pittsburgh running all over the field looking to fight everybody? I just want to talk about what we saw. I d I'd want to share some thoughts and lessons. Don't you don't, don't, don't.
Well, why why do you think that I'm going to tear the kid up? I'm not. I would never do that. Can I please, can I, can I, may I please talk to Lokes? I just want to tell him how scrumptious that was.
El guapo bapo That guy's new. El guapo bapo Rome. Letting the hands fly when soccer mom ripped Jake's ball. I didn't even do that. I let my words fly, but I did not let my hands fly.
She looked like she was ready to go. I mean, lady, you made my kid cry. He's crying. Actually. You can imagine if I already hated soccer prior to that.
And I hated I hated the game. And then I hated that Jano told me the kids got to play the game because all the kids are playing the game.
So now I resent the game and I hate the game. And now I'm at a game where some woman walks across the field and every kid is sitting with their legs crossed and the ball between their legs. And this woman reaches down and just rips Jake's ball. and marches across the field. And he just breaks out in tears.
I'm like, great.
Soccer made my kid cry.
Some woman took our soccer ball. This is how I'm spending my Saturday afternoon. They all happened in my life. No, I did not let the hands fly, but I did march right across the field and say, excuse me, ma'am. Can I please have my soccer ball back?
It's not yours. It's not yours. Ma'am. It's our ball. I said it's not your ball.
Ma'am, can you please flip the ball over and look at it? Flips it over, R-O-M-E, and she slams the ball down. I'm like, man. Stay classy. I hate this game.
Stuck not radio. Come after me. I'm a man. I'm 40 inches tall. Come after me.
Sign likes to fight. I'm a man. I'm 40. I would not measure the guy, man. I would measure the size of the fight in the guy because that dude was not.
In terms of stature, he was not big. But he looked like he could handle himself a little bit, and he was far angrier than anybody else. And he did run up on that guy who was at least three times his size. He's lucky that dude didn't want it as badly as he did. I'm just saying, how does it come to this?
Yeah. C DOT's Nemesis. The small guy has a problem. Not surprised. Wow.
This small guy has a problem. Not surprised. All right. When we return. Yeah, if you want to talk about Youth Sports.
I'm always here for that. Tony Elliott coming up next hour. Brennan in hour number three. Stay tuned. This episode is brought to you by ChatGPT.
