Like Forrest said, Daniel Jones, $160 million, four years.
Originally I got excited because I thought this was Adam Jones, the guitar player for Tool.
That would be great.
But this is Daniel Jones, he's a quarterback for Chicago.
Adam Jones from Tool, he deserves it.
Daniel Jones or even Pac-Man Jones because he doesn't play anymore.
He doesn't deserve it.
So, anyhow.
I didn't think he was all that great of shakes but $150 million?
$160 million.
I'm looking at his 2022 stats.
So he's, wow, he's got to be one of the highest paid.
His rating was $92.5.
It's fair.
It's mediocre.
His yards are $3,200.
That's decent.
Touchdown is $15, interceptions $5, which is decent.
That's decent.
That's a good ratio but that's still a pretty low number of touchdowns.
Yeah.
What about the homes that have like 50 plus?
He had 40 some this year.
But he's had over 50 before.
Yeah, 15 total throwing touchdowns.
Well, with the Super Bowl and everything he may have hit the deep.
So, let's see.
Okay, his final regular season stats is 5,250 yards, 41 touchdowns, 12 interceptions, rating
of $105,200.
So he threw for almost three miles.
That's a good way of putting it.
Yeah.
And his rating is over 10 points higher.
Yeah.
Let's see, 92.
Yeah, well over 10 points.
More like 14 maybe.
Yeah.
Wow.
And a tougher schedule to boot.
And a lot tougher schedule and a Super Bowl win.
Yeah.
So, okay, 82 million in the first two years, virtually 94 million guaranteed at signing.
So no matter how this pans out.
He's going to get that 90.
He's going to virtually get 94 million.
So we're right around there.
You know, Lamar Jackson, one of his problems is he wants all guaranteed money.
But if he signed a deal like this, I bet you'd go to any team that would take him.
Yeah.
If they would trade him because they have to, you know, they have, well, I've got another
one on Lamar Jackson too that I can go to.
You know, any team that wants to offer, I'll just go into it right now.
Lamar Jackson, okay, he was tendered a non-exclusive franchise tag.
Yeah.
Okay.
A non-exclusive franchise tag means that they're letting the market dictate it.
So let's say that Carolina, okay, the Carolina Panthers offer Lamar Jackson 60 million a
year.
The Ravens have the right to match that and get him for that price or they get two first
round picks.
Wow.
Yeah.
So basically what they're saying is they're telling other teams, you take this guy that
lost out on 40% of his snaps, has worked that much money, then go ahead because we're just
going to take the first two rounders and move on from it, which I think it's really kind
of brilliant is.
Yeah.
That's a good position to be in.
You tell the other teams, you set his price.
If we're okay with it, we keep him.
If we're not okay with it, then we're going to take draft picks from him.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
It's great because they let the market really dictate it.
They're saying, look, guys, we're out of it.
If you guys think he's worked that much, send an offer.
We'll take the picks.
God.
And so far they have not had a really, they haven't really had an offer.
And I can tell you why is, is this right here.
A running quarterback.
Okay.
Yeah.
Here's my thoughts on it.
Lamar Jackson without the running game is not a very good quarterback.
Right?
Yeah.
His biggest appeal is, is he can run with it.
Well, he fakes to run and he throws someone's wide open because everyone's coming in because
he's a very good runner.
Yeah.
Okay.
He's already getting all these injuries, which has been the knock on these quarterbacks that
run as much as, I'll put it like this, Mahomes and Jaylen Hertz even, or Josh Allen.
They're going to try to throw first and if they can't, then they're going to try to make
something happens with their legs.
Hertz is vulnerable, more vulnerable to injuries because he runs more out of necessity too.
Now he can throw, he can thread the needle.
He's very good and he's going to be very good.
And my, my thoughts is the more he goes along, the less he's going to run.
Yeah.
The more he learns how to pinpoint throws a little bit better because he has a talent
is the more he's going to be throwing more because he doesn't want to get injured.
So Josh Allen too, he's a throw first guy also.
Lamar Jackson is almost like a run first guy.
He looks for running lanes.
So if he sees a running lane, he's not going to throw the ball.
He's going to just start running.
And I've seen the TV announcers pointing out, you know, he took off running, but look, this
guy's 40 yards downfield.
He's wide open.
Why didn't he throw it?
He doesn't trust his arm, but he trusts his legs.
Yeah.
Or he'd already given up on the pass and he decided to run.
Yeah.
So it's like, at the very least, it's very bad judgment.
And it's not the way the NFL game is designed.
It's not the way the rules are set up.
I mean, it's fun and it's flashy and it can kind of work here and there, but not long
term.
I know there's a reason they've never had a, what is it?
Wildcat?
Was that Wildcat?
Wildcat, pistol.
Yeah, pistol.
Yeah.
So yeah.
That's how come they've never had one go all year, all season or season after season.
It's because it does not work.
It's too brutal of a sport.
Yeah.
If it worked, why wouldn't they have like, instead of one main franchise quarterback,
they'd have like three or four guys that are running black slash quarterback slash receiver
and let them go in there and do their Wildcat, Michael Vick, Lamar Jackson, Steve McNair
kind of thing.
Yeah.
You don't know who's doing what until it's done.
That's why that doesn't work.
It doesn't work.
Because that's easy to shut down.
They're going to slaughter them in the real, in the bigs.
So yeah.
So anyhow, okay.
Number one, Daniel Jones, even though I went into Lamar Jackson, there's really not that
much to say about Daniel Jones, but he's making more money than the home sale.
That's crazy.
That is insane.
And that also tells you about how bad the homes wants to win another Super Bowl.
Yeah.
So when we have a, we, we said goodbye to Frank Clark because he wanted more money.
Okay.
Um, Frank Clark has what?
Three rings, two with the chiefs and one with Seattle.
Yeah.
I'm thinking he's like, I have three rings with two different teams.
So now he's going to go for money because he went for rings.
He got the rings.
So I think that's why he did not take less money to stay.
Yeah.
He doesn't have to.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
So I think the chiefs are on the lookout for that veteran guy, like a Dunlop, like Dunlop
did, you know, take a little bit less money to be with a team for a ring.
Right?
So Frank Clark had to go.
We love Frank Clark, great player.
Shows up when it really, really counts.
Yeah.
The playoffs.
He's third or second.
He might be second now on sacks all time in the post season.
So yeah, thank you, Frank Clark.
Yeah.
We said goodbye to him because we couldn't afford him.
So we're looking for that guy that wants to come in and win a ring now and they'll
find him.
There are a lot of people like that.
Yeah.
It won't be Vaughn Miller though.
No.
He very stubbornly goes to every other team except the chiefs because he was a Bronco.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see if he ever gets a ring again.
Every year it's going to get harder and harder for him to make the team.
Do you think he'd just give in and go, hey, chiefs, look, I got a little bit left in the
tank, man.
How much is the most you can make?
How much is the most you can give me?
Yeah, special teams.
Most you can give me.
We'll be there.
So you want to know what the most Google search words in 2022 were?
Oh, that's a big, great idea.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, the most Google search words, there's different categories of different searches
for Google for 2022.
So the first one is the most Google most search words in 2022.
Number one is wordle.
Oh, that's a game.
It's a game, right?
Okay.
Number two, election results.
Huh.
I think that's the midterms.
Yeah, that probably would be for the midterms and the Roe v. Wade fallout.
Oh, that's yeah, that's right.
There's a lot of that going on this year.
Yeah.
Since Roe v. Wade has overturned, then those midterm elections got really a little excited.
You're right.
Exciting.
Yeah, you're right.
Survey was like baited going, oh my God, who did this?
Yeah.
Number three was Betty White.
Oh, she passed away.
She died right the year before.
She did not make it quite to 2023.
Queen Elizabeth.
Oh, yeah.
Bob Saget.
I did not realize he was 2021 to 2022, but he was.
Huh.
He was either late 2021 or early 2022.
That's right.
Yeah.
So that's why he was on there is because his death was not that far away.
Yeah.
Even though it kind of seems like with everything that's happened.
Oh, that's right.
He had, it was a mysterious, he like fell backwards and crushed the back of the skull
and they said, oh, he just kind of fell over accidentally on us off bed.
Yeah, but then the family paid, they have it staying out of the news.
So yeah, they paid to seal the autopsy photos.
So you could see the coroner said this head injury looks like somebody swung a baseball
bat as hard as they could against this guy's head.
So that's not a fall.
That's somebody putting arm strength and muscle into it.
But then they shut him up and sealed the photos.
Yeah.
Whitewash the story.
It's like, oh, nice little Bob Saget, because we want his reruns to still make money for
us.
So we sanitize his math.
They said the family paid for the autopsy, but don't you think it was more like the networks
did and went through the family and probably gave them a little change on the way out?
Doesn't that make more sense?
Yeah.
Everyone was protecting the value of the syndication rights of every TV show Bob Saget.
Because if this guy was auto erotic officiation, he would not be all over, they would not be
playing a full house or anything like that.
They'd be like, that's that guy who killed himself beating us.
Oh, we can't watch that.
Oh no, no, no.
God knows, man, you can't watch a show that someone was in because they did that.
It's going to ruin the kids.
So anyhow.
Okay.
Let's see.
Most Google, most news, the news search words through the news.
So it's like Google News or?
Yeah.
Okay.
Number one, election results.
Number two, Queen Elizabeth passing.
So just because it's the news outlet of Google, they added passing.
The other one was just Queen Elizabeth.
So one best way to describe this, I think, is one version of these people, the first
version, were looking for pictures of her.
The second one was looking at what actually happened.
Yeah.
And the third one was found on a rope, like, I don't know, paddling the canoe.
Another thing is people say, hey, Queen Elizabeth died.
And someone grabs their phone and is like, who the fuck is Queen Elizabeth?
So they just type in Queen Elizabeth.
Oh, she was the Queen of England.
You know what, you're right.
I bet you a lot of that was after.
Like, who is that?
Yeah.
Queen of who?
Queen of where?
I have no clue.
Yeah.
And they probably didn't know where England is on the map either.
Probably not.
Yeah.
And then you Google that, it's like, oh, somebody died?
Who the hell was that?
Should I be sad about it?
True.
You're right.
That is exactly what it was.
Number three is Ukraine.
Yeah.
Number four is Powerball numbers.
Yeah.
Number five, Hurricane Ian.
Huh, OK.
That was the one that hit Fort Myers, destroyed the piss out of Florida.
Right.
I remember that one, yeah.
That was the one that hit Fort Myers last year.
Google most people searched.
Oh, OK.
That's a good one.
Number one, Johnny Depp.
Oh, because of the trial with Amber Heard, the bed pooper.
Yep.
Number two, Will Smith.
For the slap.
Yes.
Number three, Amber Heard, the other part of the shitter.
Number four, Antonio Brown.
OK.
Because he went nuts and ripped off his football player.
Yeah, the one that did the half-naked wave goodbye to the crowd.
Yeah.
Number five, Kari Lake.
K-A-R-I.
Lake spelled it as Lake.
Huh.
Hang on.
There was Ricky Lake.
She was big for like 20 years ago.
She was a talk show host.
Yeah, I remember her.
Famously lost weight, then gained it, then lost again.
But Kari Lake.
I don't know what that is.
Is that a person or a place?
Kari Lake.
Let's find out.
I got to spell it because it doesn't want to come down as Kari Lake.
I think it's the way I said it.
I think it's probably Kari.
Yeah.
Cart profanity.
Oh, she's a politician.
Ah.
Well, who gives a crap about politicians.
OK.
Yeah, it's OK.
Anyhow, OK.
So for some reason, she was a third most.
OK, the most searched athletes according to Google.
Oh, OK.
Number one, Antonio Brown.
Number two, Serena Williams.
She retired recently, I think.
Yeah.
Number three, Little Joey Burrow.
And the only reason he got two minutes of fame is because of my home student interception,
not because what he does.
Yeah.
Number three, Aaron Judge, Yankee slugger.
Number five, and I don't know why, maybe five years ago I wouldn't know why, but Manti
Teo.
I don't know what happened that made anything any different there.
Yeah.
So, and I'm not going to Google it because quite frankly, I don't give a shit.
We'd just be adding one more hit to it.
Google most searched definitions.
One, Rupri, R-U-P-R-E-E. And I've got an explanation on this.
I went ahead and I looked it up.
Rupri, I would guess it's a form of currency.
It is.
Ah.
Common name for currencies of India and Nepal, Pakistan and other ones.
Oh, OK.
But people that don't know that is an oligarch, is a very rich business leader with a lot
of political influence, mainly Russia.
Yeah.
Because that's where they're having influence on the Ukraine war.
Yeah.
So, number three, cocoa.
Cocoa?
I wonder why.
Cocoa is the seed from which cocoa and chocolate are made from.
I've been seeing a lot of ads lately on my Facebook feed trying to talk me into switching
from coffee to cocoa.
Oh, that must be like a big campaign.
That might be a big campaign to take a big chunk out of the coffee market.
Because cocoa has caffeine in it.
That would explain why it's on this list.
Yeah.
That would be my guess.
Number four, Homer.
I think everybody listening would know what a Homer is.
Somebody who's always for the home team.
Yeah.
And then they could do it, they could slaughter a fucking child on midfield, but they'd still
defend them.
Oh, they had to.
Yeah.
Whatever.
Every other team's doing it.
Whatever.
The same people who go, my country right or wrong.
Yes.
The same six psychotic fucks that say that.
Yeah.
That's what a Homer is, only towards the professional team.
Yeah.
Okay.
Number five, recession.
I would assume everyone knows what recession is, but if not, it is recession of economic
output, employment, and consumer spending drop.
Yeah.
In broadest terms, recession means something that goes back to a previous state.
Yeah.
Like a receding hairline.
Yeah.
Like someone had a hair like on their fucking, almost to their eyebrows.
Yeah.
And all of a sudden it's back halfway past their forehead.
Yeah.
Also, that's a receding hairline because they're receding.
It's definitely a long hike between my eyebrows and my hairline.
Oh, yeah.
It's getting farther every year.
Luckily, mine has not done that yet, but it would not surprise me if it starts.
Yeah.
So anyhow, those are the terms and-
Killing us.
All right.
I've got a public service announcement.
Okay.
I'm wondering how many people listening have been having problems with rats because I thought
I was one of the only ones.
We've had a rat living in our garage for probably about five or six months, and I've done all
sorts of things to try to trap it, kill it, get it out.
I think I finally managed to trap it and kill it because it smells bad.
And of course, it's going to go die somewhere to where you can't find it.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to have to empty out the whole freaking garage to find that little rat body.
But-
It knows it too.
It's like, I'm dying, so I'm going to fuck this guy good.
Watch this.
He's going to have to tear the wall apart to get me.
I had to get a new garage door because it had chewed through my garage door.
I remember you telling me about that.
It reminds me a little bit of the great meat walker rat at Jesse Jim's years and years
ago.
This son of a bitch snarled at everybody.
I remember running upstairs.
I go, oh my God.
They go, let me guess.
There's a rat that snarled at you.
I said, yeah.
We went down to her clubs.
We were going to club it to death, and all it did was scare us all.
The fucker was, he was mean.
He was-
His ass rat.
Yeah.
Oh, he was something else.
Yeah, go ahead.
So I thought it was the vacant house next to me that had been empty for about a year.
I thought, well, rats must have gotten in there.
Turns out, I mentioned it to my neighbor and they said, oh, we thought we were the only
one with rats.
We caught two out of our basement already.
They said someone a couple of doors down was also having rat troubles.
They had called an exterminator.
The exterminator said, there are rats on the move all over Kansas City.
The people everywhere in Casey are complaining about rats in their house, in the garage.
Everything has changed.
Casey is doing something with the sewer system because the rats are on the move.
I looked it up and we're in the middle of this $2.5 billion water supply and sewer renovation
project.
I think it was about 12 years ago.
No.
Yeah, about 12 or so years ago that they got the money for this.
They're really ramping it up now from about the river on south through downtown, midtown,
the Brush Creek area out to Brookside.
I remember seeing all this work too.
I think even you and I commented on it, driving by it because we do drive by those areas sometimes
going home.
We thought it was the streetcar tracks, which some of it might be.
Some of it was, but the streetcar is going to end at UMKC.
So Brookside is south of UMKC slightly.
So anything south of there that we saw was not that.
So that's probably the sewer.
Anyhow, that is it.
Yeah, that must be all sewer.
But I got something along another line here real quick too that I saw the other day and
I was going to say something about, you know, they're trying to move Royal Stadium to downtown,
right?
Yeah.
Well, you know who became a big player in that is North Kansas City, just right across
the river.
Oh, wow.
That makes sense.
And I thought about it.
If they build this stadium, they've been wanting this streetcar crossing a bridge and coming
down to the North Kansas City, right?
And it makes sense.
Yeah.
But, you know, KSC keeps going, no, no, no, no, we're not doing that.
We're just staying downtown proper and, you know, in plazas and, you know, that area.
Okay.
If they do win the rights for the stadium and start building it right across the river,
guess what's going to have to follow?
The streetcar is going to have to go across the bridge.
It is.
Yeah.
And I was thinking, what was their main purpose besides the obvious of, you know, getting
the tax money and stuff, but they got to cough up a lot of money to do this.
So why are they really doing this?
And I thought about streetcar.
Yeah.
And then the expansion, you know, after that, then why couldn't downtown expand into the
North?
Yeah.
And in the Northland, especially North Kansas City specifically.
Is that a different, I mean, where does the county change?
Clay County, right across.
So the rivers, the dividing.
Yes.
So that could be a sticking point is Jackson County versus Clay County.
It is.
Because the county, county dollars, you know, if they put the stadium in Clay County, then
Clay County people are going to get first dibs on season tickets.
That's another thing too.
I don't want it there.
But it's smart though.
I would not doubt if the Kansas City Royals put it in their hair.
Why don't you guys apply for this?
You might get it.
Guess what's going to make Jackson County do it even quicker.
What?
What do you mean Clay County?
Uh-uh.
And it's just like Arrowhead Stadium, wherever it lands, the new Arrowhead.
Whether it's right there where it's at, when, you know, when they eventually, Royals move,
they tear Royals down, build one right next or whatever.
Whether it's right there, Kansas is going to be a huge player in that.
They have sports betting and they have the money, the resources.
They're like, we're right here, water's warm.
And maybe the chiefs don't want to move.
And chances are they don't.
They want to stay in Jackson County.
They want to be Kansas City, Missouri.
Chances are they do want to stay there because of all the glory or infamy, depending on how
you're looking at them.
Okay.
So, you know, from the glory years on, to the glory years now.
So if Kansas is over there fighting for you, then guess who's just got a better perspective
on their ante?
The chiefs.
The chiefs are like, well we got everybody after, so why should we listen to you?
Yep.
Because at the very least, Kansas is going to drive the price up for Missouri to keep
them.
Yep.
And if you want to stay on the chiefs thing, do you hear about Jackson Mahomes?
Not lately.
Jackson, are you done on this sewer thing yet?
One more thing.
A couple, three weeks ago, I saw a public service announcement saying that veterinarians
are suggesting you don't take your dogs out to dog parks or city parks because there's
a big outbreak of leptospirosis.
Yes.
Which is, you know, can be fatal to dogs.
It's commonly known as Lepto.
Yeah.
So if you ever hear a vet say a Lepto shot, that's what they're talking about.
Yeah.
So go ahead, I'm sorry.
And you know where a big source of Lepto is?
Rat pee.
Rat pee is full of Lepto.
So even back then when they were telling us stay out of the city parks, don't take your
dogs to the dog parks, they knew the rats were on the move spreading leptospirosis.
But did they tell us?
No.
No, they didn't.
They just said, oh, for some reason there's a Lepto outbreak.
Why don't you keep your dogs away?
But what they should have said is we're tearing the hell out of the sewers and chasing all
the rats out.
And all these rats, yeah.
And they're going to bite your dogs, they're going to bite your cats, their fleas are going
to get on you and your kids.
You're all going to get Lepto.
They could have just been humane about it and said, look, we didn't mean for this to
happen, but what's going to happen when we tear the sewer parts?
They're all going to run.
Yeah.
They could have just been humane about it and said that and said, look, we didn't mean
for this to happen, but it's a byproduct of what we're doing.
The Kansas City city government decided we didn't need to know that information.
So they tell your dogs about dead at your fucking veterinarian's office.
Who in the city government gets the authority to hide that information from us because it
looks bad on them?
That's bullshit.
Like I said.
They are causing the Lepto outbreak.
Like I said.
And they need to own up to it.
The small town that I lived in for many years, I was on the city council.
And the way you discover that is a thing called minutes.
Minutes is every one of their sessions, if you will, their meetings have to be recorded
by this thing called minutes.
Minutes contains everything that's said.
Even if someone says, oh fuck, accidentally, that has to be recorded.
Let's say a mosquito landed on their pant leg and the guy accidentally said shit, that's
got to be included.
So anything they talk about will be on those minutes, including, hey, you know what?
We may not want this information to get out too much.
We don't want people to freak out.
Yeah.
Then that will be on the minutes.
Yeah.
And let's say all did it like behind the scenes, not on the minutes.
And one of them went during break and go, hey, you might want to keep this rat thing
under wraps.
Hey, tell Fred over there, hey Fred, let's keep this rat thing under wraps.
You know, unless it was done like that.
Don't talk about it during the open minutes.
Yeah.
Unless it's done like that, then it's recorded on minutes.
Yep.
So anyhow.
So thank you, Kansas City, for causing a Leptospirosis outbreak because you didn't have the balls
to tell us that you caused it.
Yep.
So yeah.
So thanks a lot again, Kansas City.
You fuckedards.
It's probably Mayor Lucas' fault.
I would go ahead and just go ahead and put him as the fault.
It's always his fault.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
That's what happens when you take that position, isn't it?
Yeah.
You're big enough to be the mayor, you're big enough to take the fucking hit.
So anyhow.
We know he doesn't do stuff like gets drunk and falls asleep in Lawrence and his car and
stuff like that.
Allegedly.
Or that mishap there with like a, I don't know, some of the works at City Hall.
Oh no, no, no.
Not a mishap, was it?
You can't call a child a mishap, allegedly.
Just a spontaneous human reproduction.
No, that's it.
Allegedly.
Yes.
Anyhow.
All this is tongue in cheek, guys.
There you go.
So anyhow.
Jackson Mahomes.
Oh god.
Remember that idiot?
Yeah.
Mental midget brother of Patrick Mahomes is being investigating for shoving a 19 year
old waiter two times and forcefully kissing an Overland Park business owner.
That's awesome.
He was really pissed off.
The business owner, no.
He forcefully kissed me.
I mean, it's awesome because he can't get out of it.
No, he can.
He can get in a lot of shit for this, too.
And I can't wait for that.
Fuck that guy.
I hate him.
He's a dumbass.
Is it?
Everything that Mahomes is in this community, he is not.
Yeah.
That guy needs to get the you know, he moved L.A. He needs to fucking stay there.
Yeah.
Fucking idiot.
He forcefully kissed me out of nowhere restaurant owner Aspen Vaughn said per her Kansas City
Star interview.
The lady continued to tell Jackson to get off her and to stop, but he continued to forcefully
kiss her.
She yelled to the door.
People were on the other side of it.
She also pointed out that the cameras in the room as well.
So he wasn't going to stop until there's people on the other side and her going, there's cameras
up there.
Fuck face.
So yeah, as long as it was his word against hers, he was going to press it.
Yeah.
He's got I didn't do it.
She made that shit up.
Yeah.
That's a scumbag.
I mean, we already knew that's a predator.
Yeah.
So I mean, like you couldn't tell that he was too massive for her to push it, push him
off of herself.
Both incidents are currently under investigation.
I hope they throw the book at him.
I hope they do too.
Yeah.
The piece of shit he needs to be locked away.
Oh, he needs to do some serious jail time for this.
Yeah, he does.
Get a real life lesson in jail.
Yeah.
I think that would be a good thing for him.
Maybe get a good old Jared to the face.
That'd be awesome.
Every day he gets a good Jared right to the forehead.
He would deserve it.
Yeah, he would.
So I've got expressions for millennials.
Cool.
Yeah.
These are abbreviation expressions.
Like if you want to talk about somebody and it's like a long form, like this is a person
that has an abstract reaction to children eating popsicles or something like that.
It's like weird things that they thought up of to abbreviate and make into pop culture.
Okay, yeah, I get it.
Yeah.
First one, AFBB.
AF usually means as fuck.
Yeah.
I have no idea.
A woman who dates higher status alpha males but will marry a timid beta male.
Now, I did not explain the abbreviation on this.
No.
I'll try to figure this out.
AF, a female.
So alpha, A for alpha.
Alpha, beta.
Oh, AFBB would be alpha, beta.
I don't know.
That sloppy reporting that they didn't give the explanation of the acronym.
It is.
So anyhow.
WB.
Warner Brothers.
Stands for wood bang.
Okay.
MSSL.
Oh, I don't know.
It means married man sex life.
Funny.
It means boring sex life basically.
LMR.
Let me read.
I should have just went with that and said yeah.
I just left it.
It didn't explain it.
Stands for last minute resistance.
Okay.
Yeah, we might get some LMR.
Yeah.
Got a little MLR coming our way just to warn you.
KHHV.
This was interesting.
I have no clue.
Stands for kissing hand hold-less virgin.
So not only do they not kiss you but you can't hold their hand or nothing.
So I guess it's kind of like, it would be like a really timid.
Oh, okay.
Afraid of any kind of physical contact.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
They used to just call those super virgins.
This is the modern day super version.
Yeah.
LHH.
You might get this.
Last hoe hanging.
Laughing hella hard.
So that's like the new LOL.
Yeah.
Working in a fake word like hella in there just makes it even stupider.
Well, I mean.
I mean what's wrong with very?
Yeah.
LVH.
Laughing very hard.
Yeah, that's good.
Maybe there's already an LVH in there.
Little lexicon or something.
Well part of it is to make it somewhat incomprehensible so they can pretend it's a secret language
and they're getting something over on.
No, and that's the only reason they did hella is because it throws people off.
Yeah, it's just the fun of, you know, we have a secret language and we're talking and you
know, we're talking about.
Yeah, these are hella.
They think they're being so original too.
No, they do.
Yeah, hella.
That's our word.
I stuck our word in there.
Yeah, guess what?
In 10 years that's going to date you so much.
Oh yeah.
Believe me, we know.
Yeah, there will always be a next generation to laugh their asses off at the previous one.
It's just like cool beans is back.
Oh wow.
Expression from the 90s.
Yeah.
They use it nowadays and they think they came up with it actually.
Yeah.
Yep.
LYA.
It stands for two things.
I don't know.
Stands for love you always and love you all.
So it depends if there's a bunch of people standing there, you know, you say it means
all of them.
Or if there's one person, stands for love you always.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
O-T-W.
On the way.
Yep.
PMSL.
Premenstrual Syndrome Life.
Yeah, that's it.
It's tech speak for pissing myself laughing.
Wow.
I like that's something to brag about.
I kind of like that.
Well, I kind of like that one because it actually makes sense.
I like the hella and all those stuff.
This does make some sense.
I'm not saying I'm like think it's great like the other ones, but you know, like the ones
before.
But how bizarre to brag that you laughed so much that you urinated all over yourself.
Yeah.
Okay.
Wow, that was so funny.
I vomited into my own ear.
Let me, let me.
What?
We need to come up with one.
We need to come up with one like that.
To me, at least that made sense the way it was abbreviated.
It just seems like the people who would brag about laughing so hard that they pissed their
pants are the same ones who eat a Tide Pod.
Yeah, you're right.
Okay.
It's so great I stepped in my own semen.
SMBT.
Well, that could sort of stand for some bitch.
It could.
Tech speak for suck my big toe.
Some people actually enjoy that.
Maybe it's meant for them.
You get mixed responses off of that one.
That is pretty specific though.
It is.
I think it's like an insult.
Yeah.
Or like a shut the fuck up or something.
Yeah.
Or like an expression, you can kiss my hind toe.
Maybe it means a long at, kind of like fuck off or whatever.
Yeah.
So I like hind toe better than big toe because big toe, you know what they're talking about.
When you say hind toe, it just kind of lends a little mystery because you're not sure what
a hind toe is.
SWM.
Single white male?
Yes.
All right.
Those are the ones everyone's allowed to hate.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh wait.
Hetero white male.
Those are the ones you're supposed to hate.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Those are.
I wonder if I gotta go out there and tell them that we're right here.
We got parking parole.
All right.
The next one is TMR.
TMR.
Okay.
Tomorrow.
Oh, just tomorrow.
Okay.
Yeah.
TTG.
That's the goods.
Yeah.
Train to go.
Okay.
I can see that one.
This one is fucked up.
Okay.
ISHYGTTT.
Wow.
I didn't know you would have to say that.
Stands for I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
Wow.
That one's done for effect.
Yeah.
I mean, there's no way you can do that and be like.
Rattle off 18 different initials and think you're cool.
And think like it's your saving time.
It's trying too hard.
Yeah.
In other words, just say don't try this or don't do this.
Don't.
Yeah.
I mean, just a bad idea.
Yeah.
You might as well wrote a paragraph.
I seriously hope you guys aren't really thinking about doing this right now on this day in
Tuesday before nine o'clock when the sun is shining.
Yeah.
This one's fucked up already.
If you write all this down, you gotta like fucking remember what it all means too.
Yeah.
Again, I think it's for the thrill of ooh, secret language.
No one is going to know what we're saying.
Let's make it less obvious.
Yep.
Yeah.
Here's one.
This one's fucked.
OMW to FYB.
Ah, I don't know.
On my way to fuck your bitch.
Is that not messed up?
Wow.
To embrace that scuminess in your lifestyle so much that you invent an acronym.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
You can save time.
You want to save time to insult someone you know.
Yes.
Oh gosh.
Wow.
The things people spend their energy on is amazing.
I know.
Who came up with this stuff?
Some jerk.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Jared would have on my way to fuck your little girl.
Yeah.
Underage.
Yeah.
FSE.
Don't know.
Football Supporters Europe.
So in other words, soccer fans in Europe.
Smilth.
I know what milth is.
Well, think along those lines.
Let's see.
Does the S stand for stupid?
Single.
Oh, okay.
Single mothers I'd like to fuck.
Yep.
I don't know.
W R O L.
It sounds like a radio station call letters.
It does, don't it?
There probably is somewhere.
Yeah.
Without rule of law.
Okay, that one's just stupid.
It is.
Most of these were stupid.
Yeah.
Let's face it.
But I ran across these.
I'm like, you know what?
They're so dumb.
I'm just going to stand because they're dumb.
Yeah.
It's interesting because it's something people thought was so cool and interesting
that they're trying to...
Exactly.
...standardize these acronyms.
This accentuates the...
Just the pettiness of their lives.
Yeah.
If that's all they've got to concern themselves with, then they have no clue what's really
going on in the world.
Exactly.
No wonder they can't balance a checkbook.
Yeah.
And I'm not talking about writing checks.
I'm talking about balancing the money you have.
They don't know how to cook a meal or...
Yeah.
Just change a light bulb even.
Yeah.
Good God, Steve.
Yeah.
So anyhow, that is all of them.
All right.
If you enjoy two-inch beds and a microphone, you'll definitely enjoy a shelf to make of
it.
Our constant pursuit for a real knee-slapper.
It's strange insults from an alien.
Real hilarity.
You remind me of a penny.
Too faced and not worth much.
Oh shit.
What's that over there?
Oh no.
It's the island of horrible jokes.
Oh no.
It's the island of horrible jokes.
Ugh.
Want to hear a joke about paper?
It's terrible.
It's horrible.
Well, I'm sure they'll come up with a whole bunch of new ones for next year.
Oh, they will.
They'll probably even be before next year.
They'll have a ton of them.
They'll trot out these cool new catchphrases and they'll play with them for about two months
and they'll decide, you know, that was stupid.
That was two months ago.
That was so two months ago.
You can't do it.
Well, I've been seeing disclaimers recently on TV shows.
The channel in particular, they put a disclaimer up that says, this show contains outdated
cultural depictions.
That's all it says.
Well, your explanation of it makes a lot of sense now and I actually really like it.
At first I was like, what?
But go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, I first noticed it was an episode of Bonanza.
It was coming out.
Oh yeah.
And that was a western from the 60s, I believe.
Lauren Green, Michael Landon.
Dan Blocker.
Purnell Roberts.
Purnell Roberts, yeah.
Anyway, so the...
Actually started cast.
Yeah, yeah, actually so.
So it was your typical 60s western, which was all about a white family and the Indians
on the show were played by white people wearing brown makeup.
Yeah.
About the only person who was generally ethnically other than a white person was their cook.
Was it Hop Sing was what they called him?
Something like that.
They had some sort of diminutive name for him.
But he was a real caricature of what a Chinese person really is.
He was always jumping around like he didn't have any place to be.
He was cooking, he was cleaning, he was doing laundry, which is another thing that is typically
associated with Chinese people is they were running laundry.
What was the broadcast overlapping?
It was pretty interesting.
Try to figure out what it is, try picking it up.
Yeah, we should have a laugh track for our show.
Yeah, we should, yeah.
Okay.
So I was watching these outdated cultural depictions.
That was meant for us.
Yes.
And I thought, well, that's pretty good that they're showing the show in its original form
with all of its flaws and instead of editing them out or trying to downplay them, they're
just saying, you know, this is what it was back then, take it or leave it.
But we're warning you that it's in here, so if you don't want to watch it, don't.
But we're not changing it.
And I like that.
I do too because they don't change it is what I like.
They leave it like it is and if you don't agree with it, then you don't have to watch
it.
But it's useful information to know that in the mid-60s, your average American white
family would turn on the TV and see sanitized white versions of real life events like the
Wild West and stuff.
And in most counts, people don't even realize that because I'm going to, you know, when
you mentioned it, I was like, oh yeah, I guess that is true.
But I didn't really give it any thought.
I just be watching it and then, but.
But it's good to know that, you know, there was a certain point where all of the popular
entertainment in this country was aimed at white people.
And nobody had plans to change that.
No, I agree.
It's useful to know that that's the way things used to be.
And they were so interested in whitewashing everything that they would have white people
play Native Americans, Chinese, Japanese, Hispanic.
I mean, they were all white actors.
Were they that hard to find actors at that time?
They just didn't want to work with them.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's the worst reason around.
And I think there was also a prevailing attitude of this could make people rich.
You know, being a TV actor, a movie actor, a star, we want to save that for the white
people.
There probably was that.
We don't want rich people of color because if they have money, they can buy influence,
they can get laws changed.
No, let's keep them poor.
So deny them good paying jobs.
And that was part of it.
Entertainment jobs, heads of corporations, you know, all these good paying responsible
jobs.
That's a good point.
The white mainstream kept people of color out of it because they didn't want to share
the power.
They want to share the power of the money.
You're right.
So yeah, they want to go to work and see everybody look like them.
Yeah.
You know, oh, look at all these white men working at this office.
I'm comfortable now.
Yeah.
If there were women, if there were Indian people, if there were Japanese people, it's
like, oh, I'm not so safe now.
I don't like this so much anymore.
So they didn't let it happen.
But also the public watching was probably like that.
Yeah.
You know, most of your affluent Americans who had color TVs were white people.
And they wanted to see people who looked like them on TV having fun, having successes, living
their lives.
Kind of like they do now.
Yeah.
And the last thing they wanted to see was Sanford and Son.
You're right.
Yeah.
It took a while for that show to make the air.
And then when it did, it was very popular.
Yeah.
But in the 60s, you put on Sanford and Son, nobody would have watched it because there's
all white people with TVs.
Yeah, you're right.
And they didn't want to see that.
They want to see it.
Yeah.
That's true.
Wow.
So anyway, got there from, you know, show contains another one.
They had that.
The show contains outdated cultural depictions, the movie Gone with the Wind.
It was 1939 movie when it first came out.
And it's like a four hour movie that takes place before the Civil War, during the Civil
War, and then after the Civil War.
And it follows the same family and group of people throughout that.
And it is really, really rough in its depiction of anybody who isn't white.
It's pretty rough.
So rather than changing that, I like the idea that they put the disclaimer in saying, this
is what white people wanted for entertainment in 1939.
This is all they could handle.
They didn't want a black character on screen to have anything intelligent or thoughtful
to say.
Public didn't want to see that.
No, you're right.
So I like being able to see, you know, this is what was acceptable in 1940.
Here's what was acceptable in 1920.
You know, I want to know that.
I don't want it to be hidden and erased and taken out of view.
I want to know how things were.
I want to know how far we've come.
Wow.
Yeah.
So just my thoughts.
No, that's good.
I'm happy that they do that now.
Like I said, I like the fact that they do it.
Yeah, it's much better than just pretending it never existed.
Yeah, they actually address what went on.
It's up to you whether you want to watch it or not.
Yes, I love that part.
Let everyone make up their own mind about it.
Let them see it and make up their own mind.
If it bothers you that bad, then you can skip it.
If you're like, okay, well, that's the way it was.
But at least now you know that.
Yeah, exactly.
You're not blindly watching it when something like that went on.
Yeah.
I don't know.
All right.
You got something or?
Yeah.
I want to talk about identity theft and an idea I had about keeping yourself safe from
identity theft.
You've heard the expression that it's hard to find a needle in a haystack.
But what I think is even harder is to find one specific needle in a big stack of needles.
Yeah.
Isn't that harder?
Yeah, because it's the same.
At least in a haystack, you're like, okay, that's not a piece of hay.
That's what I'm looking for.
If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, use a metal detector.
If you're looking for one certain needle in a stack of needles, then you've got to look
at every damn one.
So my idea is to be that needle in a stack of needles.
The more you do to make yourself stand out and noticed to a certain point, makes you
a target.
After that point, it makes you safer.
Yeah.
Now, imagine if somebody wanted to steal Miley Cyrus' identity.
That'd be tough.
Yeah.
It would last about three seconds because people know who Miley Cyrus is.
Now, if they take the guy who walked by here 10 minutes ago behind you, most people in
this planet don't know who that guy is.
Yeah.
So it would be a big deal stealing his identity.
Really easy to convince people, I'm that guy because you don't know who that guy is.
That's why Joe Consumer down the road always has his stolen is because you don't know who
that guy is.
Yeah, and then there's a middle ground where you can get to where you're not famous, yet
you're not easy to imitate.
Like you have a really unusual name with a bizarre spelling.
If your name is Tim Potter, there's probably 100,000 of them in this country.
If your name is Ignacio Blueberry Whipsaw, there's probably just one of you.
Yeah, that's true.
Nobody can imitate you because you're not even famous, but you've just got something
about you that is really tough to...
There's also things that you can do yourself.
Let's say you're Joe Consumer down the road.
You can put CID on your card.
I mean, besides the stuff they do online, I mean, they do online, yeah, they steal.
But to prevent it at stores, like the physical card, make them require your ID.
So when the person whoops out their ID and they look like someone completely different,
they can get shut down.
But hiding in plain sight is another very useful way, and that's where you're a needle
in a stack of needles.
This picture, you've seen the big school of fish that's swimming around in the ocean,
and the seal is trying to come through and grab a fish.
Now, if it was just one fish off by itself, then it's singled out and they go after it.
If it's 100,000 fish in a big cluster, your chances of being singled out are one in 100,000.
Your chances just went really high up there for surviving if you're part of a large group
that looks all the same.
That was the idea of convoy during World War II.
They'd send supply ships from the US to Europe, and if they all went out individually, then
chances are that you'd find at least one within 10 or 20 miles of sailing on the ocean, because
they're scattered everywhere.
Yeah, true.
But if you group them in large clumps, then you have vast areas where there's nothing.
If you do find them, then you've found 60 of them, and the chances of your ship being
hit out of all those 60 is pretty small.
So getting in a large group of similar targets raises your chances of survival.
So that's another way to protect yourself against security or identity theft is be just
like everyone else, and chances are you'll get overlooked, because there's so many of
you.
That's kind of a scary way to go about it, is just try to stay out of sight long enough.
Yeah, I get it.
I mean, our philosophy has been slightly off the whole time.
We don't have to be super strong and well protected and sitting in the fortress.
No, we just have to look like everybody else, so there's no reason to single us out.
Sorry everybody else.
It's true though.
Makes optimal amount of sense.
I've had my identity stolen a few times.
One time somebody filed an income tax return for me, my social security number.
Did you get your money back?
The IRS contacted me and said, yeah, we know this isn't you, but somebody did.
So then they worked with me on being able to identify myself.
Every year they send me a code number to put on my return.
I've had tons of stuff bought on my credit cards, on my Amazon account, just all that
kind of stuff.
But yeah, somebody actually filing a federal tax return with my name and social security
number and my address.
It's like, what were they going to do?
Come buy my mailbox and take the check?
You never know.
No, that's stupid.
I mean, yeah, who knows?
It could have been a test run to see if they could do it.
You got something or I got an interesting one?
Yeah, let's see.
Oh, yeah, this is an interesting one.
When you buy a new product, sometimes you're getting garbage with it.
It's pretty common if you buy a brand new guitar, the strings on it are going to be
junk.
And it's just pretty much standard.
Everyone knows the strings they put on new guitars are ones that failed quality control
somewhere because they know as soon as you get that guitar home, you're going to take
those strings off and put on the ones you like.
So they don't bother putting quality ones on there even though you've paid for them.
You can do the same with you buying drums.
They'll put cheap Chinese knockoffs of drum heads on it.
And then you've got to go spend an extra two or three hundred to get the nice, good quality
heads.
And the drums aren't going to sound good until you do.
But you've paid for those crap heads.
You buy a new car.
So you've got this brand new car and it comes out with shit tires on it.
Oh yeah, that's just the way it is.
Remember back in the 90s when the Ford Explorers were having problems with the tires?
That year made a batch of tires that they knew was defective and wasn't passing quality
control.
And they didn't want to throw them all away.
So they called Ford and said, hey, we'll sell you these cheap.
They're going to wear out probably within six months to a year.
If you want to buy them cheap and you deal with all the tire warranty issues, then you
can have them.
And Ford said, sure, we'll take them.
And they started putting them on Ford Explorers.
And then people would buy the car and the tire would fail.
They were having rollovers, they're in blowouts.
And then they eventually had to do a whole combined recall between Ford and Goodyear
to replace all those tires.
So that didn't work out the way they were.
They were hoping to sneak all those defective tires through.
But the thing is, everyone who bought that Ford Explorer paid for brand new, good quality
tires.
But that's not what you got.
You got crap.
And there's so many things that are like that.
You buy the thing brand new and some of the components are just garbage.
And more often than not, people know it and they're like, yeah, well, that's just kind
of how it is.
You buy this and then you replace that right away.
Oh yeah.
But what kind of bullshit is that if you're buying something for hundreds or thousands
or even more and it comes with something that is just a piece of crap.
It used to come with quality components, but it does it now.
And what made it so easy to do is all the manufacturers got together and decided, let's
all start doing this.
If we're all doing it, then nobody can leave our company and go to the competition because
they're doing it too.
And the only place to get something that is top quality, top to bottom, through and through
is if you spend bank on it.
Like you get a Bentley or a top of the line Paul Reed Smith guitar that costs $8,000.
They are not going to have chip strings.
No, that's going to have good components all the way through.
But when did it become okay to spend like $1,500 on your next version of your phone
and the charging cord is so cheap and crappy that it fails within a week?
And I was going to go into that.
That has happened, I would say.
Let's see, when would you say the real smartphone came out?
Not the Nokia that I was talking about on my elaborate prank section.
I would say probably around mid-2000, 2005 to 2010.
I would say about 2008 is when the good cord stopped.
It was about three to four years in because the cord was really thick.
And the plug-in was really nice.
Part of it I think was made by someone different than the manufacturer.
Like they bought these really nice cords from somewhere.
But go ahead, I'm sorry.
Just by the way it looked I would say that.
And I think fairly quickly they realized people would lose the cord, they'd loan it to somebody
not get it back, they'd close it in the car door and they were needing another one.
They didn't want to spend $35 for a new high quality cord.
That's what I was getting ready to say.
You got to where you could walk into a 7-Eleven or a Quick Trip and buy a cord there that was
cheap but it wasn't that much.
Because I remember the first time I had to replace my cord I had a sticker shock.
I'm like what?
$35 for that fucking thing?
But it was high quality.
Now the stuff is like it's flimsy and you get it for $3.
And then they realized, okay people are okay buying this cheap flimsy cord for $3.
So they started buying those $3 ones too and putting them in there.
Because they didn't want you to get a good one and then go for a cheap one afterwards
they wanted to start you with the cheap one.
So then when it's time to replace it you're okay buying the cheap one.
Chances are they own the company that makes those too.
So there's one component they were able to just utterly cheap out on.
They used to come with phone cases then they realized oh people are willing to spend more
for the case so we'll just quit including it.
How about remote controls?
The same thing.
So there are a lot of things you buy that at least part of it is going to be cheap junk
throw away garbage quality and the manufacturer knows it and has no shame in it.
It's like yeah go ahead buy it.
Half of it is junk but what else are you going to buy?
The rest of them are just like it.
That's right.
You're going to have to give your money to one of us.
Yeah who's it going to be?
You want to buy a high quality one there isn't any.
Think of the years and the money spent to convince people that they can't get along
without a smartphone and that has paid dividends a hundred times over.
It was worth every penny they spent.
Virtually the only people that don't think they need a smartphone are the ones that grew
up their whole life and lived their whole life without it.
I would say when the smartphones really became popular 65 and over.
That's really the only other ones that don't because I know a lot of 60 year olds even
65 year olds now that use smartphones routinely.
I mean I see a lot of them using them at stores though they have like their credit card loaded
on a smartphone.
I use mine to open my garage door.
You can change channels at a hospital?
But it used to be anybody growing up they could pretty much count on you're going to
get married and buy a house and get a car.
A lot of that doesn't happen anymore.
People grow up.
You got anything you want to say?
What a beautiful city.
I used to live here years ago.
I'm back visiting the family.
Oh well welcome.
Where do you live now?
Portland.
Portland Oregon?
Yes.
Oh wow you come a long ways.
My mom lived there for many years.
Chilver.
The state is still new.
Yeah I know I read it.
The homeless problem is one of them.
Older brother, oldest brother.
What's the nature of your podcast?
It's anything.
That's why we asked you if you want to talk about anything.
It doesn't matter.
We cover a variety of subjects.
We don't have anything we exclusively do.
We do cover a lot of the NFL and stuff like that but we just whatever.
Yeah but fun.
What a fun season for you.
Oh yeah.
I'm a big cheese fan.
I follow up the whole way through.
And I won't take anything away from the homes at all.
But I really do.
The defense was the difference.
The defense was the difference this year.
Yeah.
In this game.
Yeah.
And Super Bowl 54.
The championship and the Super Bowl.
Yeah and Super Bowl 54 the defense came to bat too.
Yes.
Because they were all over Garoppolo and they were all over as much as you could Jaylen
Hurts.
Yeah.
So yeah.
So I mean the thing is we have a bunch of rookies on defense right now that are getting
better.
Yeah so I'll tell you what the organization is run top notch now.
And it shows.
100%.
Yeah.
The other thing that was just so fun to watch is that the guy.
Well there's all the memes going around like a one legged man kicked your ass.
And then the one.
This is on ESPN the top three quarterbacks.
They had Mahomes.
Then Burrow.
And then Mahomes with one leg.
Burrow had my tail.
Yeah.
We had a lot to say about that.
Yeah that was fun.
That taught a lesson.
I love it.
It was okay.
I mean I think Chris Jones had the right approach to that which was until we beat them I can't
mouth off about it.
Yeah.
And that was the right approach.
Well that take it personally is what makes a difference right there.
But personally that game there we should have won by 10 points at least.
That game we should have dominated.
But we kept giving it back to them like we have been.
Yep.
And that's the thing that's so concerning about them is their lowest small ball that
they play they bring you to their level.
They don't let you play your level.
Okay.
And so they kept getting out of situations like they've been doing.
We should have won the game in Cincinnati but Kelsey was trying to make a play like
he'd done all year.
And I don't default him.
That's what makes him him.
So I'm glad he did.
But because that fumble was a big key reason we lost that game.
But him being him is why we win so many games.
So Cincinnati finds someone to make a big play or something.
But like we did predictions and I said this game is going to come down to maybe the last
play and a big mistake.
And that's exactly what happened.
Yep.
Yeah it was.
The holding call.
The thing about that is when the Chiefs are going down the field late in the game the
opposing team gets scared to death because they know he's going to score and they screw
up.
That's perfect.
That is exactly what happens because that guy he like I heard all the sympathy about
him.
Oh he hurt his knee and it's like well what if that was Mahomes that hurt his knee?
Would you feel the same way about it?
No it was a lady hit and they protect the golden boys.
That's the way it is.
Everybody knows it.
Number 15 brings in much more money than number 5 or number 7.
That's why they protect these guys.
Same way with what's his name Burrow.
The same way with Josh Allen.
The same way with Jalen Hurts.
They're untouchable per se.
You know.
They did a good job on that game.
You tackled it 10 yards out of bounds.
I know it was so epic.
So when he did that I was over at Christopher's watching the game.
We looked at each other and go if this kick is made we won the game and the kick was made.
Because it was that obvious that we were just like there's a game just gave to us.
And it's the same with that holding call too.
The guy freaked out.
He done what they teach him in defense.
If you're going to get a sure touchdown hold him.
It may not be called.
He turned around and pitted it too.
Yeah he did.
I get it.
Profit.
Well that's what they teach him.
They're saying then hold the guy.
He's going to get out and get.
But that's also what cost him the game.
That allowed us to run the timeout.
I think that it's like a machine.
The home's the machine.
Just turns people into something that they otherwise aren't.
Meaning that you're not thinking they're nothing.
They make mistakes.
Well think about being a defensive coordinator and showing clips of this guy.
And then telling them you're going to defend this guy.
Where do you start?
Where do you end?
Yeah.
You'd be like look this guy's probably going to beat you.
Just do your best.
Trying not to beat you too many times.
It's going to be a very interesting off season.
I think they just have their eye on who they want to.
Here's what happens.
I read a couple of articles on this.
And the reason like the New England Patriots for perennials and the Steelers worked for
a while and all these teams.
They have ring chasers.
Ring chasers let it be known that they're interested in the team and they'll take less
money.
So they have someone that kind of like let a little icky out in someone's ear and said
you know.
I don't think they're going to do it.
I think they're going to draft.
I do too.
I don't think they're going to sign Odell Meckham.
No.
I don't think they're going to go out and get guys who are toward the end of their career.
They've done such a good job on the draft.
Why should they?
Yeah.
I agree 100%.
We're not chasing an opportunity.
How did we get Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelsey, Hardman.
We drafted them all.
Our best players Mahomes.
Our best players Chris Jones.
Pacheco.
Our best players Kareem Hunt before that.
Our best players we drafted and I don't see them deviating from that.
I don't think it's because they're one team.
It's certainly more room in the salary cap.
Oh yeah.
Well that's the way you got to do it.
And another thing is we live in a world where Daniel Jones just got 160 million for four
years.
You don't hear Mahomes out there crying.
That's the other part.
What a man of character.
Our 50 years was well worth it.
We waited.
Between Len Dawson and Patrick Mahomes it was a long stretch.
I think that's another tribute to Veach because he does go after character.
Well that's the reason that John Dorsey was on his way out and Brett Veach was in.
Brett Veach was the guy that kept sending Andy Reid tapes to this Mahomes kid.
He kept saying we've got to sign this guy.
We've got to get this guy.
We've got to draft him.
And that was almost all Veach because Dorsey liked him but didn't really press it.
But pretty much because Brett Veach kept sending him all these little snippets of this guy,
finally Andy Reid was like do what it takes, move up, get this guy.
Yeah the other part that's quite interesting is the other teams.
Okay some of those other very good teams are going to have to pay their players.
And now we're going to see how good their genes are.
Yeah.
Yes.
They've got to pay a burrow.
Yes.
And it's more of a buffalo is like your party.
So this will be the real test.
We're starting to see the fatal flaws.
The flaws that are going to get them are starting to expose themselves on all these teams that
were right behind us.
That were catching up on us.
That were the babies last year.
Because you could not hear enough about Josh Allen.
How he was the real best quarterback.
And how the Bills were the real Super Bowl contender.
Or even Cincinnati.
You could not hear enough about those guys being propped up.
Then all of a sudden it's like oh wait a minute.
Go back to Mahomes.
Go ahead and just focus him on him.
We're going to look for someone else.
I agree but still Cincinnati is a very good place.
They are.
Cincinnati is our competition.
So you have to give credit to burrows to get them to be honest.
But on the other hand, you know, Chiefs will sign a free agent.
They sign Tooney.
They sign Orlando Brown.
If they get the right one, they make them go.
Yeah and then they do stuff like Kedarius Tony.
Man what a pick up.
Can you imagine that guy if he doesn't get injured next year?
His health history is not great.
No I know it isn't.
But I think the Chiefs training staff and conditioning staff are better than a lot of
the other teams in the league.
I would agree.
The NFL Players Association came out with a rating.
The players rated all the franchises on that.
The Chiefs got a D minus on their training staff.
Oh I did see that.
But it's mostly because the head trainer, everyone hates him.
They say the rest of the training staff is awesome and wonderful but the guy who is in
charge is just a real jerk and nobody can stand him.
And he pressures the players to hide injuries from the team.
I don't agree with that 100%.
So the players came out and said, yeah the training staff is great but get rid of this
guy who is in charge.
We hate him.
So I think he is going to be...
You can look at the whole article online and some of it makes some sense but some of it
doesn't.
Some of it sounds personal like maybe he wasn't the nicest guy to talk to.
So I see a little bit of everything but you know what I have complete confidence in Veach
and Reid and I forgot the President's name.
Mark Donovan, I have complete trust in all of them and they will do the right thing.
If this guy needs to stay in there he will be there.
If he needs to go he will be gone.
Nice to talk to you.
Yeah you too.
What's your name?
My name is Paul.
Paul, well welcome back.
When do you go back to Portland?
Today.
Oh today?
Oh wow 5 o'clock.
Oh okay.
Alright.
Well I hope your flight is a little bit better than my one I had in Long Beach a couple of
weeks ago.
Long Beach, California?
Yes.
Yeah I used to live there.
Oh okay.
What happened in Long Beach?
It was the bumpiest ride I have ever encountered in my life.
That thing was just crazy and he said because of all the storms that are coming in over
there and I could not believe it.
I go to Long Beach and was it due to rains and rains and rains.
Right now they are very grateful.
Yeah their drought is probably over for a little bit.
It's going to take years for the folks to see it.
Oh yeah it's like me getting filtered you know.
I think it's getting us on the past two.
Yeah all that runoff.
I think it's mostly staying a little north.
It has to help everything else.
Alright guys stay here.
Hey nice talking to you.
I think California is not going to burn as much this year.
No they are not.
That's right.
You know the cool thing is this right here.
This is why the city market is so cool.
We don't even get the same thing at the filthy bean.
No huh.
The people here just want to talk and they have stuff to say.
Yeah it's very cool.
It's awesome.
I went what you were talking about Orlando Brown.
I read yesterday that the Bears have said that no matter what it takes to sign Orlando
Brown they are going to do it.
That tells me that we need to walk on him.
Yeah they are pretty much telling every team go ahead and make offers but we are going
to outbid you because we are getting them.
Because what was their quarterback going to sack like 55 times.
Yeah well he couldn't hurt.
I'll put it like this if you were to rate the entire offensive line it would probably
get the worst rating.
To me it's Orlando Brown.
I thought on his side there was constantly leaks and loan coverages.
He did better this year but I don't think he's worth near the money they have been paying.
I think the Chiefs supported that.
I get it there wasn't anybody better.
They needed somebody at least that good and they couldn't get anybody better.
Since they won the Super Bowl mission accomplished.
So now they have to look at a different way of doing it because of a lot of different
perspectives, not only monetary but other perspectives too.
Because I think they are going to grow on the stretch the field small ball.
I mean especially with the enemy going I think that Matt Nagy is all his again.
Yeah and if you've got a younger or rookie left tackle in there then you are going to
want faster quicker releases on the passes.
You don't want homes hanging back there.
No I think they are going to play within their means and I think no matter what type of play
you play Mahomes can play it better.
It's like this who had more running yards between Jalen Hertz and Patrick Mahomes?
I think it was Mahomes.
Like quite a bit more.
But who was the runner of both of them?
Hertz was supposed to be the scrambling quarterback.
He was supposed to be the guy that could just take off and tear anything out at any time.
Oh my god.
I think Mahomes was one legged.
Yeah.
Oh man that was awesome.
That's another thing that needs to be said is beating you at your own game.
Yeah.
And that's what the Chiefs did very well.
I remember watching that game and noticing that for pretty much most of the game the
Eagles were taking every bit of the play clock.
They were taking the play clock down to five seconds or so.
And it makes sense because you do that all game long and you add up those extra ten and
twelve seconds in there and that adds up to five or six minutes that Mahomes wasn't on
the field.
They knew this too.
And that's the whole idea is as long as Mahomes is off the field slow down and take your time.
I'd call that the Bill Parcells.
Yeah.
And I always thought like his quarterback harassing in your face type of play was a throwback to
the Bill Parcells, Marty Balls, Smash Mouth.
Just like get in their face.
Just like rattle a him hard.
Throw him to the ground.
Scream at him.
Tell him they're yours.
You know that stuff.
And so that type of a play would pretty much confirm what I thought.
People were saying oh they got this new style of quarterback.
No it wasn't really about that.
It was about their defense having the most sacks ever among their defensive backs and
whoever in their scheme.
Yeah that's something to watch when your defense is getting a lot of sacks.
Is it your defense alignment just getting natural pressure or is it like safeties coming
in on blitzes?
Well that's why I left it open ended.
To me the chiefs do a little bit of all of that depending on the situation and what could
happen if it's a running quarterback I think it's more of a safety.
If it is a stable quarterback then you're going to see more of the defensive ends like
a Chris Jones or a Dunlop or someone like that that's going to get in there.
I remember back in the 80's when I started really getting into the nuts and bolts of
football instead of just watching it for fun.
I remember a show saying how they were talking about the leading tackler on the chiefs was
a safety.
It might have been Geron Cherry at the time.
Probably Geron Cherry.
I think there was another one that was Kevin Porter.
Kevin Porter.
Yeah I can't remember.
There was Kevin Ross too.
I can't remember which one was a corner and which one was a safety.
It also depended on their speed because if you had a slower one that was in the middle
there out of necessity and not because he could just do it.
The point they were making they were saying that the leading tackler is in the secondary
and they say what that means is the opposing team is getting past your linemen, past your
linebackers and into your secondary before somebody can tackle them.
That's how come we were so horrible.
So at the first I thought oh that's interesting and then they said what it meant.
It's like oh yeah if your D tackles are getting a lot of tackles then that means that they
are stopping plays cold.
But if your free safety is making a lot of tackles that means they are getting 20 yards
down the field.
Yeah who was the mid 80's we went to the playoffs one time in the 80's.
It might have been 84, 85.
86.
It was 86.
It was a year after Royals went to the World Series and won it against the Cardinals.
Trying to think of who the quarterback was.
Was it Bill Kenny still?
I think by 86 Kenny was gone.
I can't remember if Blackledge was still there.
Blackledge was a raft in 84 so he probably was still there.
Maybe it was Bill Kenny.
I don't remember who the quarterback was.
I don't think he was all that great.
Yep they were 10 and 6 second in the AOC.
Yeah they squeaked into the playoffs on the strength of their special teams.
It was Bill Kenny.
Okay.
You want to hear his stats?
161 for 308 attempts.
That's like half.
1922 yards.
Pretty mediocre.
They had Joe Delaney as a runner so he took some of that off.
But not all of it.
13 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and 18 rushes.
18 yards rushing.
So not only could he not throw but he couldn't run either.
Wow 13 and 11 that's pretty close to the same number of touchdowns and interceptions.
Their leading receiver was Stephon Page at 829 yards.
Second was Carlos Carson for 497.
I remember him.
And then the other ones I'm not even going to mention.
I remember Larry Moriarty and Herman Herd were running backs back then.
Lead sacker is a guy named Pete Koch.
No no no Bill Moss.
Seven sacks.
I remember Bill.
Number 63.
Yeah old Moss.
And Pete Koch was the second one at 5.5.
Lewis Cooper was the third at 4.5.
Oh he's a linebacker.
Oh no Art Still was 10 and a half sacks.
Had a pretty good defense actually.
Not bad for back then.
Yeah.
Let me see.
As I recall the offense was pretty bad but the defense was okay and the special teams
were crazy.
Yeah.
Yep.
And they were blocking kicks and running kicks back.
That was right.
That was it.
Okay let's see.
Well I'm trying to find some of these here.
Let's see.
1986 running backs.
A lot of birds.
Yes.
Especially when I'm looking up running backs.
Yeah.
Let's see there was a Todd McNair for a while.
Yep.
Played for the Chiefs.
Mmm.
Okay.
So a Todd McNair and a Steve McNair.
One was a quarterback for the Titans.
The other was a Chief.
I think Joe Delaney may have already passed away.
I don't see him on here.
Yeah.
I think he had one season.
That was it?
Just one season?
I think it was just one season and then in the off season he drowned saving some kids.
Yes.
I think it was Herman Herd, Bruce King, Ken Lacey, Mike Pruitt is the one I remember.
Yeah.
Hmm.
See it was Carl, I think Carlos Carson came out once to a clip where my band was playing
and we started talking about football.
He was a good player.
And it was odd that he really wasn't all that big.
I mean for an 80s wide receiver nowadays they're all closer to 7 feet but he was right around
6 feet maybe a little more.
Except for Hill.
I think Hill.
Yeah.
He's like 4 foot 2.
Yep.
But yeah some of those older football players were like these guys really weren't all that
big.
It was something else.
Now there's these big genetic freaks that are huge.
Oh wow I was way off with Delaney.
He died in 1983.
Yeah I thought he was a little earlier.
In Monroe, Indiana.
Wow.
Yep.
And I remember he was saving kids.
That's why you will never see a number 37 in a Chiefs uniform.
And there should be.
It should be.
Yeah it should be.
Okay.
Okay he had two seasons for the Chiefs.
Two.
Okay.
He had 329 carries for 1501 yards and only 3 touchdowns.
He was selected to play one Pro Bowl.
Wow they must not have handed him the ball down to the goal line.
I guess not.
You know for a while there it was common for a team to have one running back they would
use between the 20's and then a different one they'd use down near the goal line.
His 1981 season he had 1121 yards 15.6 attempts per goal.
15.6 yards.
Wow.
No no no that's some other stat.
I'm sorry.
He had a super carry 4.8 which is very good.
That is good yeah.
Now in 1982 did he die in the middle of the season?
No it was during the off season.
In 1982 he only had 8 games played 95 attempts 380 yards.
Maybe he got hurt.
He must have got hurt.
Yeah.
Okay.
Interesting.
He was 5'10", 184 pounds so he was a big guy.
Physical.
Yeah.
I think in the 80's they still used to pull back a lot down the goal line so the running
back or half back wouldn't necessarily get a lot of touchdowns because they had a short
yard specialist guy coming down there and pounding him.
Yeah.
Yep let's see here.
Christian Akwai.
You know how many yards he had his greatest season?
1989 he had 1480 yards.
Wow that's a lot.
Yeah 1990 he had 805, 1991 he had 1031.
So he got injured quite a bit.
Yeah.
Let's see here.
There was that one game that Akwai and Barry Ward both went over 100 yards rushing.
Oh yeah.
Now yeah.
Barry Ward actually became the predominant rusher.
Yeah he was the better running back.
Yeah Akwai was hurt quite a bit.
The Koye could basically go in one direction and just get faster.
He couldn't change, he couldn't cut back, he couldn't maneuver.
So once defenses figured him out they were like if we can get him going one direction
he can never change.
So that's how they handled the Koye.
Yep.
And Barry Ward was able to change direction a little better.
Yeah yep.
The Ward was out like you said once you stopped him you hit him at the knees and knocked him
down and they started getting to him very well actually.
Okay what was Derrick Thomas' greatest season and how many sacks did he have?
Oh I'm going to say 18 and a half sacks.
He had 20 sacks in 1990.
Close.
Really close.
His second greatest season how many did he have?
I'll say 18 and a half.
14 and a half.
14 oh okay.
In 92.
There was that one game against the Seahawks he was trying to set the single game sack
record but he didn't quite get it.
And if he had gotten it that would have sealed the victory too.
The Seahawks wound up winning.
Yeah they did I remember that.
I was out deer hunting with my brother and we were more interested in listening to the
game on the radio than seeing a Bambi was wandering across the field.
Did you know he only had one interception in his entire career?
Had 20?
Yeah I don't remember Derrick Thomas ever really intercepting.
The 20 fumble recoveries.
Four for touchdowns and three safeties.
Cool.
He has a pretty impressive career.
His lowest number was 1999 seven sacks.
He must have been injured because he played that whole season.
He got in the wreck trying to get to the airport to go to the championship game at St. Louis
that year.
I remember that year in the 80s when the Giants won the Super Bowl with Bill Parcells.
The second time.
The Lawrence Taylor was on the Jim Rhoames show one day talking about that.
I forget who the Giants beat in the Super Bowl that one time.
Some AFC team of course.
LT said he admitted that the night before the game he and his friends.
Was it the Bengals?
Bengals played the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Oh that's right.
That's right.
Yeah that's the boomer of size.
LT said that he and some of the teammates got their money together and called a call
girl and had her go to the hotel room of the other team's best player and just wear his
ass out.
Oh I did see that.
Wear his ass out having sex all night.
And he had a horrible game.
LT was so proud of that.
And there again human trafficking.
Everyone who idolizes LT.
That wasn't mentioned was it?
No.
Jim Rhoames just laughed his ass off about it.
That's human trafficking.
They bought a human being for several hours.
That's fucked up isn't it?
That's disgusting.
Yeah.
But everyone giggles about how cute it was that Lawrence Taylor did that.
That's awful.
Actually it is.
It is.
It's really awful.
You know on a slightly different note.
You ever look at people and think they look like a bag of lettuce?
Yeah I can kind of see that with some people.
Well I do.
And here's the people I compiled up.
Okay.
My number one is Renee Zellwiger.
Yeah.
She looks like a bag of lettuce.
She's about the most bland person anymore.
That plastic surgery was a bad mistake.
Looks like a bag of lettuce and acts like one too.
Yeah she's about as exciting as a turnip sandwich.
Yeah that's about it.
Number two is Patrick Duffy.
Oh yeah that guy's boring as hell.
Didn't he do, he was on Dallas but didn't he also play Man From Atlantis?
Yes he did.
He even looked more like a bag of lettuce on Man From Atlantis.
Yeah they're humping fish.
Man From Atlantis is one step below awkward man.
Did I say David Mearn?
No you haven't said David Mearn yet.
Okay.
David Mearn of his ABC World News tonight.
Oh yeah talking head.
Yeah yeah.
He looks like a bag of lettuce and talks like a bag of lettuce.
The ex-prince Andrew.
Oh yeah.
He looks like an angry bag of lettuce.
Yes that doesn't sweat.
Yeah that doesn't sweat.
So it couldn't be him guys.
The last one I have, I didn't get very far on this but I just thought it deserved honorable
mention today.
Chris Chandler.
Yeah.
And our quarterback talk and Jim Roan talk just remind me.
Yeah.
Yep.
And anyhow it is now, let's see, today's the 13th of March, it is 2 12 p.m. and Laura
Lightfoot is still not mayor of Chicago.
Oh.
Well you know they said the murder rate actually went down a little bit in Chicago.
Yeah.
But all other violent crime went way up.
So whatever she was doing just didn't work.
I can see the same thing happening here in KC too.
Got all this stuff going on but crime is out of control.
And you think people aren't paying attention?
Look at Chicago.
It's coming for all these other people that are out there smiling and trying to defund
the cops and thinking this is all cute and that's all cute.
Yeah.
So we'll see how this one turns out.
So many politicians in charge of large metropolitan areas in this country are just letting themselves
be blown whichever way public opinion blows them.
Or they think.
Yeah.
They think they know.
They get a focus group together and say what do the people want?
What are the people who are going to vote for me next time?
Obviously they don't really know.
Yeah.
They think they do but they don't because if they did know they wouldn't have, they
wouldn't be losing like they are.
Yeah, it's definitely an imprecise method but like any other business who wants to stay
in business they say what do our customers want and how do we get it to them.
Another problem with Laura Lightfoot is she's not likeable anyhow.
No really redeeming qualities.
Kind of a nasty little bitter bitch.
And you know for everyone's supposed lip service about everyone is beautiful.
Laura Lightfoot is physically unattractive and she's paying a price because of that.
If she were gorgeous people would have given her a pass on a lot of this stuff.
She would have been allotted a lot of different ones.
But I'm not talking about her physical looks though.
No, I'm just saying that matters.
No, it does matter.
It's not supposed to but the same people who say everyone's beautiful are saying ew I don't
like the way she looks.
Get her out.
Yep.
Yep, I agree.
No, if she was a good looking woman she would have been allotted a lot more leniency on
how everything was going.
That's just the way it works.
Beautiful people get a pass.
They do.
It's our society and how our society's been raised.
We've been trained to accept this as real.
If Roseanne Barr looked like Scarlett Johansson she could have said what she said and still
had a TV show.
You're right.
But because she looks like Roseanne Barr they wouldn't put up with it.
Isn't it like the family guy that does a spoof on good looking guy?
Good looking guy goes around and murders babies and kills kids, people in the face, old women
in the face.
They go oh hang on, wait on, it's okay, he's good looking.
And he's like oh yeah, oh we're sorry.
That's so true.
It is.
Oh shit, what's that over there?
Oh no.
It's the island of horrible jokes.
I put a wooden shoe in my toilet.
I guess it was clogged.
To Douchebagsandmicrophone.net, you're one stop for everything douchebaggery.
