Well, it's the name of the song bill You had brass in pocket by I think the pretenders. Is that me this is yeah, it is that you sound stupid Brass you know about brass knuckles. That's what I've always wondered since I was a young child I've always wondered is she gonna punch someone or is it like some chicks way of saying she's setty Oh, she's all filled with brass. Yeah, I don't know Kind of silly is she gonna punch someone until they love her that doesn't seem right anyway I'm anyway you remember yesterday Yes, me if I was gonna watch Monday night football and I said well, yeah, probably look at it for a little while Even though the you know New York giants and rams. I don't care, but you know want to see it that kid It's still football Jackson Darden want to see that kid from Mississippi. Right see how he plays second year now and he He was in there for a minute. He got a boo boo before he got smashed between a couple of big rushing lineman and

1:04They've been his neither wrong way and he had to go sit after us at a game They're saying now it might just be not just but good news It might just be a MCL Spraying which is way better than a A a strain or a tear you don't want a tear now, so All the reason I was gonna watch was he barely in there I think he only got to throw like five passes before they took him out and then they brought in old James Winston member crab legs from way back in today. James still floating around the NFL and he looked Scared to death when they put him in here. Then he was gonna play last night. No, he's got this young kid in front of him He's just signed up to be a backup sure. He's just figured I'm gonna collect a paycheck. Just hang out Get the paycheck. Yeah, I don't even know if he's been to practice or if he paid attention or not I'm gonna really focus on my pep talk for my younger teammates right now is the plan so without Jackson Dart

2:05They they had no passing game at all. I mean he had open receivers Winston did and he'd leave the ball three four five yards short just couldn't get it to him Now if you're not a football fan that's bad. Yeah, that's not what you wanted So then they had to go with the running game and of course they got the great cam scatabo And when I say great, I just mean got a cool name. He's got a great name cam scatabo He's a horse man. I'm telling you. He's a load that boys a baller. They said so on TV last night But with no passing game yeah, hand the ball to scatabo He managed only 36 yards on 12 totes as they wrote it in the story sure 12 totes and that was the leading Ball carrier for for the Giants, but not enough to get it done And they lost 28 to six it was sad But maybe Jackson looking bounce back from that now that they looked like it might not be as bad as they thought

3:06Put a brace on that thing and get back in there sometimes it's more fun to watch a football game when you don't like either team Yeah, sometimes you and I will tell you this I mean I was pulling for LSU in the LSU Ole Miss game over the weekend But I felt bad for people that were so Angry that LSU was getting beat that they couldn't appreciate how great Ole Miss and that damn quarterback of theirs is now The rest of the country has seen what we already knew was going on down here. I mean at Trinidad kid He's a he's quite the player and you know if your team had him at quarterback and they had your quarterback You'd probably beat him then but he was fun to watch Yeah, you're talking about Trinidad Chamblass is the one Yeah, I call him Trinidad because it sounds like it's cool name Somebody said last night is like somebody in Hollywood picked the name for this quarterback and then wrote the story of how you know His his old coach who left him at Ole Miss wanted to bring him to LSU

4:09You know because given knew what he had and he didn't want to go and now you see what happened It's interesting being named after a third world's country tell you know what who's that Trinidad?

I did you know who Jennifer Eckhart was before she died I didn't know she died. She was a fox news producer For almost a decade she was there for quite a while and how do you know the fox news producers? They are Not usually on the screen are they she was I think a contributor. She was a name you heard from time to time

6:16But not a lot Jennifer Eckhart does that sound familiar to you? Yeah, not to me Well, anyways, she left Fox a few years ago because there was a lawsuit where she accused Fox News anchor Ed Henry of some sexual misconduct. There was a big big lawsuit Martin County Sheriff's Office got involved. There was an investigation and it was determined That he did some wrong but Fox News wasn't responsible So it sounds like she got a settlement whatever that was it doesn't say in the report and then At some point he got a job at Newsmax his career kept going and she killed herself Whoa, yeah, just got out of nowhere, huh? Yeah yesterday. She was trying to make it long ago. She'd get a settlement And we assume it's some some money She should be living how in hogs, shouldn't she? The settlement I think came within the past couple of years 20 spend it all Don't know she was trying to make it as a podcaster I knew her name, but I didn't know much about her because I remember hearing about this story and knowing that we had some

7:17Mutuals in the media world. Yeah, but I didn't know much as not enough to have an opinion about her at Henry Whether he was guilty or innocent, but he landed on his feet after all this happened He ends up getting a job at Newsmax She was trying to make it as a podcaster and I guess that never took off You think she she offed herself because he was Still successful and she wouldn't it's a good question She became the headline in 2020 this lawsuit alleged rape and misconduct he said it was consensual denied the rape claim fox fired him And at some point she sued the network in him for failing to protect her and for him for the misconduct Federal court tosses the claims against Fox. They said you know, we can't prove Fox did anything wrong Henry later landed at Newsmax the lawsuit against him reportedly settled in 2025 So after Fox she launched a podcast about people who rebuild after a wreck And then sound like it worked out for that way. I like it. Are you guys talking about Curricular? No, uh, well, I've got news on that as well, but there was another messy chapter here

8:22It's heard something about rape and men and women and problems that I thought maybe you had the Curricular guy No, he's in the news today for misconduct as well Who are you talking about? We're talking about Jennifer Eckhart the Fox News producer That's what you're just saying. Yeah. Oh, yeah, so sad. It is sad Yeah, and apparently in 2025 of last July 2025 She was arrested in Palm Beach County after a fight with her ex right around the time of the settlement That charge was later dropped for insufficient evidence She told an interviewer if she felt vindicated and was focusing on her podcast right up until she wasn't uh, huh? Yeah Yeah, boy. Yeah, what goes on Inside the mind of your fellow man or woman. You never know what they're doing You never know seems like there's a lot of pressure on public figures who have problems going on in the background You know, Carrot top Jennifer Eckhart both of these news stories happen in a relatively short period of time When a person becomes the lawsuit instead of a name does the media ever let them off the stage

Are they answering phones like left and right or are they sitting there?
