My dough never sees a freezer. Faye Hollis makes the biscuits at Hardees. I'm up at 5 a.m. every day making biscuits from scratch. Easy there, biscuit lady.
Ought to create the Hardy's $2 for $5 breakfast menu. Try the new Oscar Meyer bologna biscuit, sausage and egg biscuit, smoked sausage biscuit, biscuit and gravy, or a cinnamon roll. The $2 for $5 breakfast for a limited time only at participating Hardees. I got up early. The least you can do is show up hungry.
True dat. You know what that sound is? That is the sound of me knocking on a plastic ionic tower of beef. Old Trapper. All four flavors in there.
All right, time for the beef segment. I try to keep things upbeat. I try to keep things positive. I try to be optimistic. And I try and do it every single day because I know that life's tough and a lot of you come here well, a lot of you come here for the wrong reason.
All the things that are opposite of what I just said.
However, Once a week, I am more than happy to have you come in here and share your beefs. You can complain, get your beef on, and say anything you want, essentially, except for those two or three things. Just do this for me. Getting, get out. State your beef, keep it moving.
We want to go bam, bam, bam. It's got to be rapid fire. Get on the phones, 1-800-636-8686. I will do a segment of write-in beefs.
So, write them in on the X, write them in on email, get in the chat. Let's get started. It's part of a tradition around here. If this guy is on hold when we have a beef segment, I always go to him first because he sets the tone, he's consistent, I trust him. Charleston, Miles, my brother, what is your beef?
Rome, happy beef day. I am sitting here looking out my hotel window at Globe Life Field where I'm going to watch the Rangers probably puke on themselves this evening against the Blue Jays. In flying here today, Rome, I have a huge beef with the American populace. Hey, Rome, they're slobs. They wear gym shorts and sweatpants and they're fat.
Hey, collared shirt, tuck it in, don't travel like an idiot. You're in public, people can see you out. He's not wrong. We are fat, sloppy Americans, and especially when we travel. Gotta be comfortable.
Gotta be a slob. 1-800-636-8686. Keep your damn feet out my damn face. Yeah, but Rome, my feet will swell. Go walk up and down the aisle a couple of times.
Miles getting us started. I like it. Let's go to The Bay Area Kevin. Position. Kevin, Kevin, what's your beef, dude?
My beef is with a DoorDash customer. He's at a hotel, wants me to take the food up to his room. I text them, hey, there's a food shelf in the lobby right next to the front desk where the hotel wants us to put it.
So I take a picture. And I take off. An hour later, I get a text from DoorDash. Customer didn't receive his food.
So not only are you an idiot. But you make me look bad. I love it, Kevin. Nice job. Hey, Kevin, you're like, effectively, it's like room service, Kevin.
Get your ass up to his room. Right, we he he didn't care about that door dash shelf. He wants you to bring it to his room, like it's room service. Maybe bring him up some soap and a razor. That way you can be both room service and housekeeping.
Maybe g turn his sheets over for him. Come on, Kevin, be a good sport, dude. Bring him a little extra toilet paper, maybe a new towel. 1-800-636-8686. Let's keep it in the bay.
Back-to-back bay calls. Mike in the bay. Mike, what's your beef? You know, never has there been a clone in the jungle who has failed forward harder than Miles in Charleston. Memo to Miles, lap it up while you can, bitch.
Because while you may be getting some here, we all know the dentist isn't giving you any at home. Jimmy. My beef is with a couple who gave me a weird look at dinner when I ordered calamari for the table. Look you carb counting losers. If calamari's on the menu, it's getting ordered full.
Stop. I don't care if it's Monsieur Linguinis or Dave and Busters. You can bet your I'll be slamming those delicious butthole looking morsels down my grill because life sucks, Jim. And Calamari, it makes me happy. Jimmy, go ahead and gloss me Calamari Mike from now on.
Out.
Alright, there will be no self-glossing. But Here's the problem with that. Here's the problem with that. I think, okay, I don't know what the beef is. The beef is with the couple that looked at him sideways when he ordered his calamari.
His beef, obviously, all was with Miles. The problem with that is, dude, I have no problem glossing you, Calamari, Mike, because that was so weird and so out there, except you asked for it, so you self-glossed it, you ruined it.
So I can't.
So, if you come up in here and you gloss yourself or say, Jimmy, correction, you know I'm Calamari Mike, you're going to get your ass run every single time. If I had come to that on my own. I would have gladly have done so, but you did not give me a chance. But that was like a really whack and weird and funny. Beef.
Where do I come out in Calamari?
So the fam loves Calamari. Jano is big on Calamari. Jake is big on Calamari. I'm big on Calamari, except. like the octopus portion.
I like the little rings. I like some of the parts. But the octopi. Not about that life. Mike is though.
Suction cups I'm fine with. I like mics like mics. I don't care where I am, man. Dave and Busters, if it's on the menu, it's in my mouth.
Alright, so I'm breaking my own rule by keeping this thing moving, but that was kind of funny to me. 1-800-636-8686. Let's go to Phoenix, Andrew.
So far, so good. Andrew in Phoenix. Andrew, what's your beef? Hey, Rome. My beef is with the FCC.
I get up every Saturday morning, I flip on college game day, then my games come on. And then there's eight games being played. And every time I switch between a game, they're all at commercials, man. It's just so annoying. I want to just cut some action the whole time I'm watching, but I'm just catching every commercial in the world.
Thank you so much. Hey, now, bra, I hear ya. I hear you. Why don't they coordinate their breaks? I don't know.
You know, part of the problem with that is I I mean, I feel you, Andrew, it is frustrating. But they do pay like a zillion dollars, man. They're going to run their commercials and they don't really give a damn what we think. Just like I run my commercials, and I'm not saying I don't give a damn what you think. But we gotta eat, right?
Speaking of which. Get some old trapper. 1-800-636 Eight six. Eight six. Let's go to Dayton, Alex and Dayton.
Good to have you, Alex. What is your beef? And Jim, my beefs with Ohio State kickers, it's so much more than just the miss that would have put Texas away. It's also the missed chip shop that would have tied the Big Ten championship game and that complete shank that would have beat Georgia in the national semis. These guys are closer to hitting one of the end zone pylons than actually splitting the uprights.
The Buckeys haven't had a decent kicker since Pervin Meyer was the coach. He knew how to kick a kicker. I mean, recruit a kicker. Thanks, Jim. Bro, great beef.
Great beef. Rack him. I'm going to put you on the watch list for the smack off, which is probably not going to happen. I just said, I'm going to put you on the watch list for a smack-off that probably won't happen.
However, if I get more and more calls like that, it will happen. I love a guy whose beef is good enough to get him on the watch list. That's not easy to do. The Buckeyes haven't had a kicker since coach Pervin Lyre was kicking kickers. Is strong.
He's right. That's not a one-off. They do have a kicking problem there. For sure. Not a pervant liar.
He's got no problem kicking people, especially the kicker. You know why? He's the ball coach. He'll kick whoever he wants. Ask him chuck kick whenever I want.
Let's go to Clearwater. Mike in Clearwater. Good to have you, Mike. What's your beef? What's up, Jim?
My beast with the Tampa Bay Rays not getting nearly enough love, man. Not enough run nationally, dude. You have the best record in the American League. They just wept. They won today.
They beat the A for two sleeps in a row. They got a five-game lead over the Yankees with 10 games to go. Let's go, baby. Let's go, Ray. I'm out.
You know what's funny about that, Mike? That beef's been good for like 20 years. When has that beef not been accurate? It's not even a beef anymore at this point. It's just evergreen.
No way, no way the Rays aren't getting enough run nationally. No way, Rays fan is upset that the Rays are not getting enough attention. Right. Wait, wait, did you say the razor in the first place? No way, since when?
Like that, that beef is evergreen. That beef will always work. How do you get so fired up by that still? You made that sound like that. It's the first time in 40 years we've mattered, and nobody's talking about us.
It's always like that with the Rays. 1800-636 Eight six, eight six. Dow is big D. Love Dallas. Ross in Dallas.
Good to have you. What is your beef? Hey, Jim, my beef is with myself for not realizing I had so much in common with Joe Thomas. that my problem is getting my hopes up with Arkansas football and getting let down ever since Petrino left his face on the pavement. Or Silverfield winning more than two games or else Eurochek is getting run out of Fayetteville, just like Eurochek ran EMUS out of Fayetteville.
My man, you are Joe Thomas, aren't you? Getting your hopes up every single year for Arkansas, only to have them dashed. Dude, why don't you give Rhino more than a couple of games? Let's see how he does. Interesting game this week.
1-800-636. Eight six. Eight six. Vegas. Dennis in Vegas.
It's good to have you. What's your beef? Hello, everybody. I'm also DoorDash. Here at the casinos, we're not allowed up to your room there.
So you know within ten minutes I'm going to be there with your food. Meet me at the lobby, man. You know I'm going to be there within ten minutes. Don't screw me and make me have to call you back six times to come and get your food. Thanks, everybody.
Uh oh. Uh oh. Kevin's got a clone. Kevin's got a mentee. This guy's like, hey, wait a minute now.
I'm also a DoorDash guy, and I work in Vegas. Y'all know within 10 minutes, the casinos will not let us up there. That is so true. You're not getting up to those upper floors without a key. Man, DJ and I once had an incident.
A scary, obnoxious incident in an elevator in Vegas. With some psychopath, and it was just the three of us. It was bad. It was bad. So it's a good thing they don't let people up to the rooms.
Hey, Doordash customer, get your ass down to the lobby. You know. You know they can't go up there. Get your ass tomorrow. Tommy wants the story.
Tommy just asked, did the psycho know who I was? I I don't know. But he liked what he saw when he saw Dodger Jano.
So imagine the three of us in a hotel, and I I don't want to give the hotel up because it was bad, man.
Some psycho is just riding up and down in an elevator, I guess, and he's looking at Janet. And then he's like, hey, hey, baby. I'm like. He Mother Bleep, what the hell is the matter with you? That's my wife.
And he looks at me and he goes, maybe she's ready for a real man. And I'm like, holy crap, this is right out of a movie. It's the three of us in a hotel that's got like 100 floors and this elevator's going up. And I'm like Does this guy have a knife? Does he like?
This is crazy. This is some like John McClain stuff. It's the three of us. And the elevator stops and it opens up. And weirdly enough, there's a security guy right there.
and he could read the vibe in the elevator. He's like Excuse me, is there some is there some wrong here? Is there And this dude just kind of like bounced. Anyway, bad experience. Bad, bad experience.
And I thought that somebody was going to die in that elevator that night. Me, him, Jano, all of us. Anyway, that just triggered me when that guy said, I'm in Vegas. They don't let us go up. And then Tommy asked the question.
Yeah, I don't know if he knew who I was or not. But he knew who Jano was. He liked what he saw. Psycho? Yeah, that's Let's go to Laguna Niguel.
Glad I could pick everybody up with that story. Let's go to Laguna Nigel. Michael in Laguna Niguel. Michael, what is your beef? Hey, good show, dude.
My beef is with people that insist on maintaining eye contact with you in the most awkward of moments. They take a hit from the cigarette or joint, they scratch their ass and just maintain that eye contact with you when it's natural to look away. I got you, dude. I see you working. Nice job.
You don't have to lock me in while you're scratching your ass. You don't have to lock me in when you're taking a hit off that blunt. You don't have to lock me in when you're burning that. Yeah. You can look away.
It doesn't make you any less of a man. In fact, it makes you more, man. Stop looking at me, man. Let's see. Let's go to NoCow Steve.
Stephen No Cow, what's happening, partner? Romany Rom was hiding partner. My beef is with the Bills Mafia. It's really hard for me to believe. Then all the clones out there in the Romosphere, nobody knows what happened to Rick and Buffalo.
Can we walk by claim? I, you know, I think we don't know, know. But at least get a job. I think he's got, I think he's the principal of a school. Or he's actually been bumped up to an administrator.
I don't know if the optics are not good for an administrator of a school or a district to be calling a nationally syndicated radio program and running his mouth the way he does. As angrily as he is threatening people when he's an administrator for a school system, or if it just doesn't fit his schedule? I don't think there's some grand conspiracy. I think that that's just what it is. I think it's his job.
I think that it's his job. He is missed. I've seen this before. People come and go in the jungle. It's too bad when their major contributors.
But I think that's what that is.
Alright, let's do this. Let's go to break. When we come back, we'll have some write-in beefs and some more call-in beefs. Do not hang up or actually call if you want to call. I can get you in here.

Let's go to San Diego. Emily. In San Diego, right to the front of the line. Emily, it's good to have you. What's your beef?
Oh, you're so sweet. Hey, my beef is not the same as those other drivers, but mine is a Grubhub beef. We are the worst company. But Talking about Lazy fat. The grummy guys.
Or girls. Sitting around ordering food from Taco Bell or Jack in the Box or Ah Fast food in general, and they get all pissy that their food is cold. Um and then they don't give you a chip.
So I just wanted to say, um People are too lazy to go and sit in a restaurant or pick up their own food. Even though it's a block away and Pretty much that's my beat. Emily, I didn't want to run you. And then she finished it, and then we still ran her. That that was the most unfortunate timing ever.
Oh, that's too bad.
So, did we run her? She's going to feel like she got run. Emily, the reason you heard that buzzer, if in fact you heard that buzzer, you just ran too long. But your beef had great merit. You know, if you order food, and I'm not here to take any money out of anybody's pocket, in fact, I put way too much money in your pockets because I will DoorDash and I do tip.
And the hidden fees that are not really hidden, like it says right there, if you look at it, it is so expensive. But if you're DoorDashing fast food. Man. And then you're complaining that it's cold, and then you're not tipping the driver. That's bad.
I I agree with Emily. I don't want to call you a loser if you're DoorDashing Taco Bell, but you're probably a loser if you're DoorDashing Taco Bell, man. Go to Taco Bell for that. Hey, Rome, how is that different than going to an actual rest? I don't want to have that conversation.
You're DoorDashing fast food. That's bad. Hey Rome, what about you? Don't you DoorDash dessert sometimes? Guilty.
All right, I take it back. You're not a loser. We're both losers. Nanny, you are a loser, but so am I.
Alright, let's get some right in. Oh, video beefs! I keep forgetting to solicit video beefs, but luckily you're doing it on your own. Love it. All right, first one, Lorne.
Bergie in Florida submitted this video beef. What's up, Bergie? Uh Romy, my beef is with myself. I thought I found the elusive XR4Ti here in Florida. But uh I stopped and shame on me, it turns out to be an XR.
Two. Looks like the follow on to yours uh a few years later, but Very similar. Outro. No, dude, that's that's not it. That's not true.
They only made the Merikor for two years. They had the X-R4TI, AmeriCorps, and then they had a Scorpio. That's not what that is. If that's the car you're talking about. It's kind of hard to tell, dude, because you didn't get the hell out of the way or show me at least the back.
If you showed me the back of the car, I would know for sure. But no, that's not an XR4Ti. didn't have that. upholstered cover on that car? No.
No. Let's try another video but I appreciate the hustle. The video beef is always a good thing. Jim in Coachella. My man's done it before.
He's back for more. Let's see that video beef, Jim. Jim, my beef is with these two feline felons. Who went counter surfing last night and destroyed an entire bag of dog treats? What do you have to say for yourselves?
Yeah, likely story. Oh, that's good, dude. Dog treats. I got a cat update for you. Whether you want it you want you want the cat update?
I have a CAT update. Should I do it?
So We've been looking. Janet's got it in her head. Janet's been traveling. Janet and Jake right now are in Switzerland, en route to Spain. And we've had a lot of stuff going on since the ragdoll legend passed on.
So, I've been going back and forth. Are we going to get another one? If we get another one, do we have to get two? I'm not home. Let's wait.
Well, Jano got it in her head that it was time to start looking. And we started to look for another ragdoll, and they're hard to find. They're really hard to find. These cats are in such demand and it becomes so expensive. You have to sign contracts.
You have to get them under contract. Like, if you go to websites and you look at some of these available kittens, you'll see websites where Mimsy is under contract. Like Like wow, little kitty N I L.
So we found one that we liked and And this gal said, I'm sorry. This one's under contract. Make oh Even I got emotionally invested. And the breeder It's directly with the breeder. The breeder said, Well, it's under contract until tomorrow, but if I don't get payment from them, then the contract expires.
And so she did not get payment.
So Jano Venmoed payment.
So we have them coming. But it's in NoCow.
So we have one coming, and now the latest thing has been: what do we name the new cat? And obviously, that's not going well. That's not going well. The cat already has a name, it's really funny that we're not going to keep. Anyway, there's the cat update, Jim.
Good job. Eric in the south side came with the video beef. Eric, what do you got? Hey Jim, what's up clones? Eric in the south side here, and my beef.
is this. Who parks their car? at the end of a driveway on the other side. My neighbor, that's who. War V in the fee with whatever the hell he's about to call in and beef with.
and war old trapper. Good job, dude. I got a bigger beef. You you have beef with your neighbor who parks the car at the end of your driveway. I got a beef with my wife who parks her car in the driveway when I back out and I slam into it.
That was like one of the worst mornings ever. You have to understand when you get up, when I get up and you sleep as little as I do, you're not awake when you're driving. I'm not proud of that. But I do the same thing every single day. I pull straight back out, wait for the sensors to tell me if there's a cat or a dog or a rock.
Never even have to look. Jano left her car once. Once. Out of the garage.
So I didn't look. Why would I look? I've never had a look. In years. BAM!
Slammed into her paw. Not embarrassing at all. You know, it's kind of funny, we have not had any written beefs read yet, have we? Let's do it. Twin 78, my beef.
People that make a commitment to attend that you've planned. Only to tap out, i.e., a no call, no show on the day of, or a call one hour before the event starts, only to say they're out. Cleep happens, dude.
Now I'm with you. This one says my beef is being last in a long line. Then when I get to the front, there is no line behind me. WTF. Sun Sean.
Nice. Mm-hmm. The MP Charles 25, Rome, my beef, is with doofuses who keep their suits buttoned while seated. Hmm. Is that that troublesome?
It is original though. Aaron My beef is with any team that has a turnover or home run gimmick. The original Miami. T over Chain was cool and original. The rest are stale gimmicky little bees.
Susie from Wisco, Jim. My beef is chronically late, folks, getting a free pass for just being that way. Or invited 30 minutes earlier so they can arrive on time. Let's call a spade a spade and declare them inconsiderate. Ward the Brewers lifting whisko spirits.
Jim, my beef is with the punk teenager next door driving the same truck as me that I've worked my whole life to own. Ouch! Best regards B. Z and Milton. Nice job, B.
Z. Uh two paws. My peef. I have to give up the Kron for a while. That's just a beef.
I have to give up the cron for a while. Rick and Chico, Rome, my beef, is with a dude on the freeway who passes me, then cuts in front of me and crams on the brakes, forcing me to almost hit him.
Meanwhile, there's plenty of room behind me to get in the lane, but no, Rick and Chico. Ricky obviously was pissed that you were not driving fast enough for him and wanted to make the point. That's why he cut you off and then hit the brakes. I agree though. Man, bad, bad people.
Just pass by. Hi, Rome. When fast food joints advertise their new triple Decker cheeseburger, then proceeds to zoom in on some fatty stuffing said burger in their piehole in slow motion in all of its horror.
Some unsolicited advice to the marketing team. This makes us lose our appetite and gives us nightmares. It does not inspire us to run to the drive thru and drop fifteen bucks on some overpriced Sando. Paul and Tucson. It's true.
At Lefty's Locks. I have a beef. With the forty question survey that I have to answer before I can pump gas. It left you I I got problems with the questions too, but it's not forty. I will tell you, I do have a question with: do you want a car wash?
No. I've never said yes to that. Who says yes to a car wash when you're pumping gas?
Somebody must, because the car wash is over there. And they keep asking. Matt and the OC is in. My beef is with those weird, stringy things on bananas. Nice job, dude.
Jet stink, my beef, is with the current Raiders quarterback room, an insurance agent guy that learned how to curse last week. Stabler drank before games, not prayed. If Mendoza shows me that he can spin the magic bean, I will believe again. Wow, Raider fan. Raider fan.
Raider fan, here's the thing. I understand that the throwback, Stabler, Toddy M, you know, it was a wild time back in the day, Raider fan. I get that. You wanna know. The Chargers are looking up at you.
You wanna know? I know they're kind of nerdy in that quarterback room. I know they're devout. You're wanna know, bro. What would you rather have?
Would you rather be 0-1 with a degenerate quarterback? Or one or no with a guy who's extremely devout and nerdy. Man, take the scoreboard.
Okay. At least he's not driving into anybody on the strip. This guy is a certified Ducator at BD97. My beef is with people that eat calamari. Nick Howard.
That's funny. All right, let's go back to the phones. Wrap this thing. It's been a great beef day, great beef segment. Let's go to North Texas, Marty B.
Marty B, what's your beef?
Okay. Hey Jim, yeah, my beef is with people that verbalize punctuation marks. We finished around the golf yesterday. A bunch of us having a couple beers at the bar. This jackass starts talking about the cowboys in the middle of his sentence and says, However, And the rest of us looked at each other like, bro, we don't need post-captioning when we're talking face to face.
Stop trying to sound so intelligent, you ass. Anyway, Jim, that's my beef, period. Incredible exclamation point.
However, Yeah.
Okay. Did did that did that really happen? I could punctuate this segment with that punctuation beef. Or we could try and see what's going on in Myrtle Beach because generally that's a pretty good idea. Tom in Myrtle Beach, you made it in.
Tom, what's your beef? Yes, my beef is with these ten minute oil changes, they say, because it takes you an hour because they spend fifty minutes before you go in there trying to get your oil change, trying to sell you every other possible thing that has nothing to do with an oil change. They try to sell you an air filter. They say, well, it's dirty. It's a filter.
If it's not dirty, That's when I need a new one. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing. They try to sell you air freshener. Your car doesn't sound good.
Well, it's not like the guest bathroom at my house. It's my car. What do you expect it to smell like? They try to sell you stuff for your headlights. Make them shine.
I wouldn't get there if my headlights weren't letting me shine at night if I drove at night. It's just all this nonsense they try to sell. Don't get out of your car. What are you, the car oil change warden? Don't go in here.
Don't go that. I just want to go for 10 minutes, get my oil change, pay my $29.99, and get out of there. That's my beef. A man, rack him, that's why I go to Myrtle. That's why the go.
Not only that. That is not why I go to Myrtle, but that was so much better than I thought. You know we're walking off on that. The man wants an oil change. You advertise that it's a 10-minute oil change for $29.99.
We don't buy this.
Well, it is a 10-minute oil change. Yeah, but the experience is an hour. And the other fifty minutes are spent trying to upsell us. Yeah, but the oil change is only ten minutes. It only took ten minutes to change that oil.
Nice job, Myrtle. There is your beef segment. In all its glory, 39 minutes. That was a great beef segment. My thanks to my pals at Old Trapper for making that possible.
If I didn't get to you, sorry about that. Good stuff. Good, good stuff. All right, we'll come back. One last segment.
You know, something I haven't mentioned. Did a podcast yesterday with Mac Brown.
So great. I love Mac. Mac, I don't play favorites. Mac is one of my favorite human beings. Not one of my favorite people in the business.
Not one of my favorite coaches. One of my favorite human beings. Love, love, love Mac Brown. Episode 426 of the Jim Roll podcast. Make time for that over the weekend, maybe on the way home.
We talk Texas. We talk North Carolina a little bit. We talk, yeah, did we? Anyway, check it out. Mac showed up huge.
Mac Brown, EP four twenty six. One last segment when we come back. You're listening to the Jim Rome Show. My dough never sees a freezer. Faye Hollis makes the biscuits at Hardees.

So another epic beef segment. Another eventful day, though, in Chapel Hill.
Some might say that it's another dark day for North Carolina.
Some might try to argue that it's actually a good day. Like folks got exonerated. I would not be one of those people arguing that. I would argue it's just more of the same. More of the exact same chaos, the same chaos that has surrounded the Hoodman and that program since pretty much the day he took that job.
The two biggest updates of the day are as follows. Number one, Stephen Belichick will not return from his mysterious medical leave and has resigned as defense coordinator. Shocking. And number two, the university has officially concluded its independent investigation of the quote culture and climate end quote within the Carolina football program.
So does that mean we get to see a detailed final report? You know, the report made by the lawyers who, according to WRAL, were asking questions about drug use in the facility, inappropriate sexual relationships on staff? Do we get to see all that? No, of course not. We don't get to see the actual report.
All we got was a statement from UNC, which centered on these two key lines. The investigation determined that certain actions demonstrated a disregard for Carolina's values and standards of conduct. The investigation also found that these actions were isolated in scope and not a systemic failure. Because that's not vague or anything.
So there were confirmed actions that disregarded Carolina's quote values and standards of conduct. but they were isolated in scope, and that it was not, quote, a systemic failure. The hell does any of that even mean? But anybody trying to twist that statement into some sort of ultimate vindication is really reaching. Yes, the program is so vindicated that two of the three most important members of the program have now resigned.
The program is so vindicated that school had to put out the vaguest statement of all to show us that the results of the investigation Didn't really show.
Well, I don't know what it showed because we didn't see the results of the investigation, and they're not clear on what it showed. Like the powder. With the association, showed us the investigation regarding Ballmer. And the Clippers. Yeah, the program is so vindicated.
And it's been so falsely misrepresented that they have a brand new scandal this week that I haven't even mentioned yet. Come to find out a freshman wide receiver has been suspended indefinitely after picking up a gun charge as a passenger in an SUV driven by another freshman teammate. That teammate, who is the driver, was also cited for speeding, and that dude has now been cited for speeding three times in the last seven weeks. But sure, everything is under control. Everything has been overblown.
It's a big witch hunt. And there's no systemic failure.
So the hood hood man's been fully vindicated today. Sure, he hasn't. But at least everything is calming down in Chapel Hill. All right, so we've got guys resigning. We have guys being suspended indefinitely.
And More the same. The Athletic says, With both Lombardi and Steve Belichick out of the picture in recent weeks, a team source speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to speak publicly told the Athletic that the operations around the football program had been smoother, end of quote. Since those two were gone. I mean, maybe. They're actually playing better on the field.
I've got to give the hood that much. The team does look much better than anybody thought that they would for all of this chaos.
So maybe things are smoother. With those two guys gone? Maybe because Jordan's not in the picture, and the hood really wants everybody to know. That any notion that she had any power in that program was always absurd. As he told the Wall Street Journal this week, people thought, quote, she's trying to be the general manager of the team, and it's so ridiculous, end of quote.
Shirt on. It was ridiculous. Yeah, I don't know that it was that ridiculous, Hood. People thought she was involved. One, because of that email that you sent saying include her in all of the correspondence.
And number two, that time she showed up for that CBS interview and She controlled the entire thing. Remember, whenever they asked a question, she said, He's not answering that. We're not talking about this. We're not talking about this. No.
And then we saw her parading around on the field before a game.
So she's CC'd on all the emails, she's controlling the interview, she's walking around the field. I don't know, people kind of assumed that she had a pretty big role. I don't think that was a major leap to make. I don't think it was quote ridiculous. That she was involved.
And that she didn't have a role in the program. But whatever, fine. And you're all moving on from whatever happened that was a violation of the rules and standards of conduct. But nothing to see here.
Okay. All right. That's why the university sent a couple of lawyers to sniff around and see what they could find and what they could dig up, just in the event that. The case wanted to move on from the hood, too. Anyway, they they're acting like You see?
Nothing to see here, nothing going on here, no controversy here. No moobs. Speaking of moobs, you can't move on from the moobs, dude. But I will tell you this: winning is the great deodorant, we know that. You go to Death Valley.
UP Clemson, those double D's will suddenly look like single D's. That's what a win can do for you. Go to Death Valley, and people may even stop demanding that you get breast reduction surgery. Winning is crazy like that. I'm telling you, you win there, and people will stop bringing up that you showed up topless and moved for that walk of shame.
Did that recount caught on? If you win this game in Death Valley. My man, you may not even have to wear a bra any more. Coach him up, moob. Coach Mub movie.
Bruh. Dabo, my dude, you can't lose this game. You cannot lose this game. Dabo, this one's big. Buy five quarts of Mobile One full synthetic motor oil and receive two times O rewards points.
