Is it okay to use as Frateraia? I guess so. Steve, by the way, the engineer told me about the time alcohol visited the strip club too. Oh yeah, yeah. It's funny because I got an email and they're like, we get it. Like, he'll do anything with a woman and I'm like, I don't. Yes, it's fascinating to me. There's nothing that dissuades him from his conquest. No disability, no matter of weight, nothing that dissuades alcohol. But that is not the afternoon show got into it too because apparently Christian Gonzalez

2:31put a rap lyrics on his Twitter, right? It was an Instagram post with a song in the background and they were trying to determine whether or not this had any significance or any symbolism behind it. Ladies and gentlemen, the football season starts next week. So things like this will be ending. But nonetheless, you know, hockey and basketball get to playing again. Yeah. And then everything, you know, maybe stuff like this won't be happening as much. But so this is Felger and Jimmy Stu. It's Felger, Barth, Maz and Jason. So this is four guys well ingrained into the hip hop culture. Yes. Wrestling in hip hop. It's a perfect storm. Cena. You can't see me. And of course, Barth is famous for his times in the Queen's Barrow projects. He was a big mob deep guy.

3:32Yeah. Okay. He was part of the squad. Yeah, he would he would park the Jeep, pump mob deep and just spark a leaf. That's right. All right. So here we go. Practice what you preach by who? Why FN Luchi? Why FN Luchi? First line. You know, and the nerds are taken over sports with their statistics and their crap. It's all about the nerds. These stupid nerds. I told you, I love it when Felger and Barth start going off on nerds. You're like, what are you talking about? What do you think we all are? All nerds talking about this crap. Just because they use numbers, doesn't mean there are any nerds or anyone else. For all bunch of guys who couldn't play, so we talk about it. Yeah, I mean, this wasn't like my dream. But sure. Like, you know, like I didn't really have an illusion that I was going to play, you know, sport at the, I wanted to be on the radio. Yeah, yeah.

4:33But no, there's what I think you and I at least, I think you, I think you, I think you, and I demonstrate that on a daily basis. Yeah. We both really liked radio on to be on the radio talking sports. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's the gig. Yeah, that's the gig. I'll take it. I mean, it gives people permission to listen, I guess. But no, so I think you and I kind of get out of that. Couldn't play. So we're doing this. No. This is as pathologically honest, I think as we could be. No, I am. No, this was, no, I did not want to play nor did I want to talk about it necessarily. But here we are. I'm just going to say congratulations. Yeah. But I do realize that like, first of all, you're a nerd, like anything you're super into, you're like geeking out on, right? Like so, like, yeah, you know, it could be like you collect records. It could be anything. Like you, you're like a geek about it. Like that's no question about it. But it's just in particular, Barth, when it's Barth in, in Felger and J. Stu talking about the nurse, you know, the nerds, by the way, I'll be a WWE wrestling.

5:35Or AEW wrestling on Friday. And then I'll be at the meeting grade with the fabulous Mool. These nerds are taking over sports. Practice what you preach by who? Why FN, Luchi? Why? I FN the Luchi. Luchi. FN. Who I don't know, by the way, I have no idea who that is. Luchi. First line, top five hands down. Huh. Herd they caught you slipping with your pants down. Yeah. Can't go on that mission and be playing round. Yeah. All that tough talking got you manned down. Yeah. Yeah, look. In 2013, I probably would have sold your ass some caro. What does that mean? I don't know. It says your caro is a popular brand of corn syrup using baking in for its sweetening properties. Oh. Sippin' like it's free was me and pound. I would interpret that as the old me would have taken your money and played like garbage.

6:39Taking your money man? Yeah, taking your money. Did I say your money? I did. I must have asked him to slip it out. No. You're just street. There's a part two to the song called Robocop. Here's how it starts. You know, the real gone always win in the fake gone get exposed. I don't see no competition. It's just me at the top and I know this is a two cedar, but it's just me in the drop. Until the day I get that billion, I won't even stop. DJ Jimmy Stu. DJ Stu. Can't get no dollar out. You blank. Can't get no dollar out. We can say bitch. Oh yeah, you can say. Yeah, I just wasn't going to. If I can't get no dollar out, no bitch, then she ain't my blank or nothing. Look, I don't, like I said, I don't speak internet. These songs are relatively foreign to me. Oh, speak internet. That's not what you're saying at all. Can't get no dollar out. No bitch.

7:39These songs are relatively foreign to him. So he has, he dabbles. He's kind of in a little. I don't think you're saying I don't speak internet. I think you know what he's saying. He doesn't speak. Can't get no dollar out. You blank. I think it's like the opposite of Barbara Billingsley on airplane. She does speak. She does speak. I speak jive. I speak jive. You know, it's funny that they, I quote that line pretty regularly in my house. Trump don't want the help. Trump don't get the help. That's right. That's good. That's really good. It's usually with one of the kids here. Let me do that for you. No, I got it. Well, don't want the help. Trump don't get the help. Oh, this is interesting. I just got emailed this. This came out from eft and chisem. These lyrics, he put on his, his Instagram. Tell me if this means anything to you. Go grease lightning. You're putting up a quarter mile.

8:41Go grease lightning. You're coasting through the heat lab trials. You are supreme. The chick's all cream. Oh, okay. For grease lightning. He wrote that. Do you think that means anything? About chicks cream and the chicks are cool. Oh, here's the cam scataboo. Just put this out. I would walk 10 miles in my hands and knees. Ain't no doubt about it, baby. It's you. I aim to please. I wrestle with a lion in a grizzly bear. It's my life, baby, but I don't care. Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Ain't that tough enough? Is that ain't that tough? Oh, yeah. For you, baby, I would swim to sea. Nothing I do for you. That's too tough for me. I put out a burning building with a shovel and dirt and not even worry about getting hurt.

9:43Do you know the video for that? Ain't that tough enough? Oh, the video is spectacular. The fact I, in the fabulous Thunderbirds wore a gray. You wouldn't have- A parade of vest, hailey. You were a parade of vest, kids. I'm accepting I'm fat and bald, but there will be a look associated with it. There will be a vest. There will be a vest that covers this up. There will be a look associated to it. Now did they come to any conclusions about if that was a message to the- It's unresolved. Oh, because if it is a message to the Patriots, he really let them have it. I mean, let's put it that way. But I- The real gone always win in the fake on Get Exposed. Right. Huh. All right. Listen, well, we talked to Bird Brear and he said there's always a chance that the contract could get done before the beginning of the season. And it just seems like every other team does these things, but the Patriots have an inability

10:43to do it. I don't know what the problem is and why they wouldn't want to spend the money. I mean, especially right now when vibes are good and hopes are high, this seems like exactly the time type of time that you would start locking up people that helped you get to the Super Bowl. Yes, sir. Was Mike Reese just on with the midday show this yesterday of the day before? I saw a video and I think it's current where he said the two times- The two sides are talking and there has been some progress. He didn't say how much progress, but that at least because Patriots fans are starched for good news is at least something. Well, it depends where he got the information from. If he got it from the Patriots, it means nothing for me. If he got it from the Gonzalez camp that I believe it. Like if it the Patriots also said they, you know, Jonathan Kraft swung it around months ago about how they had this incredible offer on it. That was our KK. That was Robert. What did I say? You said Jonathan. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Robert was swung it around. Like, yeah, you know, that was right at the beginning of camp. Right. So yes. That was.

11:44I think that they say about it. I got really, no, I just like sure you're close. Yeah. You've made a lot of progress. E. He seems to be losing patience. And rightly so. I mean, I would be infuriated the entire season. And I'm sure my agent's not happy about any of this either if I'm in. It depends on how much the ask is. If it's astronomical, that's one thing. But if it's slightly over what, whether Spoon just got, that's reasonable. But the Patriots are wrong. Other Spoon and Gonzalez have the same agent. Again, I don't know. And I could be completely wrong. I don't know anything about it. But you that if he got one deal done for one corner, I don't know how he could have another client. That's what I've been saying. Sainely over that. I think we're a different agent or a different position or anything. You could say, all right. Maybe there's a disconnect with what they're asking for. But they both, like everybody gets it.

12:45Everybody should get it from the agent to the player to the team. They see the market. They know what it is. And these are these things work. And a good agent will keep you in a realistic headspace. Like they'll go, you know, they'll go, here's the market. This is what's real is this. Like we should reach for this. Here's the employer. And it's not that employer. So you got to keep that in mind too. And then you can also throw your hands in the air if you're the agent go fine. If this is what you want to ask for, but you're never going to get it. But then I don't think the agent is leaking stuff and they're this frustrated. Everything you keep hearing the term market setting. And that could be one of a lot of different things. Like Jeremy Fowler, VSPN said, I'm hearing that this is going to be market setting. Does market setting mean $500,000 more than with a spoon? Or does it mean $10 or $15 million more guaranteed than with a spoon? I just don't know how you can do that without sacrificing a lot of elements, other elements of the contract. And I know that's what you want is that upfront money.

13:47But witherspoon got a lot of upfront money. So like, like it wasn't that how witherspoon, witherspoon one was the upfront money. Yeah, but I think birds said then Seattle got extra years on the back. Yeah, they got extra years on the back end of the contract. So like he gave, he wanted the guaranteed money, which obviously is what you want. But he gave up other things in the contract to get that. So, you know, if witherspoon got relatively a lot of guaranteed money, and like set the market for guaranteed money, then I mean, that market's been said, Gonzalez surpasses that. That's the win. It's not surpassing. I can't imagine the agent is going to turn around in the same offseason from the, like Hardy said, the same position at the same relative ability level. Like Gonzalez is a little bit probably a little bit better than witherspoon. But it's not like some insane difference in talent and ability. That's the frustrating thing. All of this seems easy. You have a blueprint right there in front of you.

14:47I mean, the Patriot should pay him what he's worth. Gonzalez shouldn't ask for the moon. You should meet in the middle somewhere. And this should be done with the very same guy that gave you the blueprint to work off of. I'm everyone on your team. If you're Gonzalez, if the Patriots were offering like a fair deal, like a market setting deal that was fair, wouldn't they be like, you are crazy not to take this because if you don't take this before Wednesday and you get hurt on Wednesday, your career's over. Like it's over. You'll never see any of this money. Like the money you've made is the money you have and that's it. If you have the $50 million guaranteed, you have $50 million guaranteed. Right. Like that's just whatever. However much it is. Because there's a tremendous amount of incentive for Gonzalez to take a contract before the season starts. There obviously is that. And that's why Witherspoon took a contract before the season starts because, you know, it's not like the team sucks.

15:50And like he wants off this team. I mean, there's a tremendous amount of incentive to take that contract. So whatever, I can't imagine that it's like anything crazy. He has a good agent, an agent that just got a deal done. So how crazy could it be? Um, all right. Listen, we will be back in just a moment with an award winning email segment.

Big show and wait little help getting started in the morning. Very dangerous. They've got the experts. So, no. Toucher and hardy. No, I'm the sports hub. The news tonight. Yeah, this literally just broke. She and Michael Embardi from University of North Carolina has resigned. Comes after weeks of digging by WRL reporters Pat Welter and Brian Murphy and moments before breaking another story about the football program. As we have learned that UNC's internal investigation expanded beyond just Michael Embardi. WRL has learned outside lawyers hired by UNC to investigate its football program are

18:56questioning current and former players, parents and staff members. People familiar with the investigation say those questions revolve around allegations of sex, drugs and the overall culture within the UNC football program with a spotlight on Michael Embardi and now defensive coordinator Steve Belicec. First, the coach's son. I just want to let everyone know that my son Steve is on medical leave. Steve Belicec went on medical leave August 6th. He remains on leave. His forces tell WRL attorneys are questioning people about whether Steve Belicec used illegal drugs or provided them to at least one player on the football team. Separately, attorneys are also asking if at least one female recruiting staff member had a sexual relationship with at least one UNC player. Our sources are telling us and if assistant coaches had similar relationships with UNC staff, they say. The reason that I play that before the email segment is we talked about it at 8 o'clock and if you're just catching up or just tuning in, Michael Embardi has resigned as the GM

19:57of the 33rd NFL team, the UNC team. There are allegations being investigated of Steve Belicec doing drugs and giving drugs to at least one player on the UNC team and allegations of female recruiters that work for the school having sex with students as well as assistant coaches. So there you go. There is a bit of trouble in UNC. We've been following this closely because of I'm starting to think Belicec's not smart that he just is very good at one thing, specific one thing and that everything else of his life is out of control and we can get into it via email because lots and lots and lots of people want to talk about this. And if you're not fascinated by Belicec's fall and you live in New England, I don't know what to tell you. I don't know what interests you. If a guy that was revered here for 20 years and talked about or probably like 18 and

20:59you know, like he could do no wrong and everyone's avatar was the guy drinking orange juice and everyone took such pride that the guy was the coach of the professional football team around here. A lot of people online, it was their whole identity and then it turns out that he's a phone who's about to get fired from a garbage job really in the best NFL coach of all time takes a lower tier ACC football job. That's not great. He can't even hang around to it for two seasons without the whole thing blowing up catastrophically and then leaving the school probably under NCAA penalty. Certainly there's going to be recruiting penalties and who knows what else. Or a feature of wins. I don't know what they're going to do. Maybe Bella check will have never won a game when they look back on it. The record will be oh, and whatever because they'll nullify the wins. Go ahead. I'm just going to say tons and tons of emails. Let me give this sponsor then because Jeffrey Glassman will be very proud to sponsor this.

22:04The toucher and hearty email segment is powered by Jeffrey Glassman injury lawyers. If you've been hurt in a car or work accident, you got to get Glassman. Just send an email call all sevens and six one seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven seven for visit got to get Glassman dot com. All right. This one from Aaron. Is there a world where Bill Bellicock tanks public opinion of himself so much he still doesn't get voted into the NFL Hall of Fame this upcoming year or at the very least has that induction delayed a few years while the stench of this finally disappears. I think that there's an excellent chance that he doesn't get into the pro football Hall of Fame this year. 100% and if I was him, I wouldn't want to get into it this year. Like in like two or three years, you can get in, make the speech and like people will remember what you did in the NFL like with enough time goes by like everyone's going to remember what he did in the NFL. I mean his legacy screwed but his NFL legacy's not. But no, I would if I'm him, I don't want in the NFL football Hall of Fame if once I'm

23:08fired from this thing and everything comes out. Well, it just goes to show you that once again, you have no understanding of what's going on as John points out. When did Bellicock do some of his best work when the entire league was against him for cheating and the scandals me thinks Bill is so smart. He orchestrated this all on purpose and is now going to run the table. What a genius read the title of the email. I'm not saying that's the best person's checkers. How many times did you hear that? Oh, yeah. With his cheating, with a guy who actively cheated for a living and he was a great coach, but strange that if you live long enough, that's going to come by in the ass. It's almost like when mob bosses get assassinated like, oh, dealing in heroin trade resulted somehow in foul play. And that's a dangerous game you were playing. Yeah. I thought it would be all right. 50 years of your life cheating. And then finally, it got way out of hand.

24:09Tim says, agree with Fred. You've Fred and Hardy. So John has left out of this because he thinks Bellicock's doing a bang up job. I believe there's a huge myth locally about how buttoned up Bellicock program was. It goes back even further than Hernandez, which, you know, you look into the Hernandez story. They were talking about buying them like a flop house. They were like, you know, they were talking about getting them a different place to live to avoid the Bristol gangs and stuff. But that's the trap house. That's the pushback you always get on this. It's like, oh, Patriots security. So but nothing knew about that. They knew about the flop house. They knew. Oh, did they know? Did they know what was going on? Because careful what you, what you brag about because now you're complicit and now you almost look like your Coke and spiritor. Just say this. That's how we didn't know and we really don't have a good handle on our program and people to run and wild. And we didn't know anything about it because I think that's closer to the truth and to try and stick to your guns and say, oh, no, we run a tight ship around here.

25:13That's going to lead to more problems. Stop it with that. Well, they didn't know about it. They tried to get him a trap house. They tried to get him to move and he wouldn't do it. They knew that bad stuff was going on. Anyway, it goes back further than Hernandez. There was the spy gate, which was an unforced error. Remember the New York giant staffer he had sex with that he paid for years? Yes. There is the divorce settlement of like a receptionist for the giants that the husband in the divorce said, oh, no, you own a, you know, whatever, how many, $100,000, million, condo that Belichek bought you. That has to be accounted for when we are in this divorce. You can check out this thing. You can, New York Post has four articles on it from back in the day. You can look it up yourself. Oh, he's been having sex with people like in the building and all this stuff. He's run a real loose moral ship for quite some time. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now, look, if you want to bang the receptionist, that's great.

26:17It's another thing. I mean, I don't know how much respect I have for you. I have you buy them a condo. Like you know, there's one thing that have sex with someone and even love them and go out to dinners and vacations. Is it a tire of everything to go? Here's a house. That's not a great opinion of yourself. I don't think at that point. That's his move though. When Jordan wanted to invest in South East real estate, Bill was there. And that was over 30 years ago. So Bill was younger than me right now when he did it. So I mean, it's not like a 74 year old billionaire. Like I know he's not a billionaire, but a guy worth $100 million that's 74, like, buying stuff for a 24 year old chick, which is sad enough. This is like a 48, 44 year old guy, a 46 year old guy, buying stuff for the giant's receptionist. Stuff like a house. That came up in an HR thing. Now, do you see the senator or the guy that the house just censored the rep and he had

27:24to stand up there because he bought like interns and stuff like diamonds and like all this stuff and was sending them to all these weird texts and everything? What about you? He bought the receptionist's a house. Yeah, yeah. You're not allowed to do that. I mean, I guess. But I don't know. Robin said, I haven't liked Belicek for years long before it became a thing around here because I hated the way you treated media and players. But the one thing I always think of is it was all so avoidable. Belicek had been less of a dick. Brady would have stayed with the Patriots. Bill would have gotten his precious coaching record and could have retired with his reputation in tact. But Bill is so arrogant and dumb and his hubris wouldn't allow it. Now he's been fully exposed and I freaking love it. Well, that's the thing. It's the hubris and the arrogance. That getting undercut from him because he's a dick is why this is Shakespearean and so lovely. And Eric says, but Belicek totally rocks.

28:29So the story here is sex. It's got drugs throwing a little bit of bond jovy and you got sex drugs in rock and roll hell yeah. Something that's not about Belicek that I just want to read real quick is Bill Simmons proxy betting. Oh yeah, I didn't know if you guys covered this yesterday. We did know we did not do it here. Hey guys, sorry if you mentioned this already, we haven't. But have you been talked about the Bill Simmons proxy betting issue? Doesn't seem like he's totally in hot water over it. Maybe they hashed it out with a three hour dinner in a private room at the Skanos table for him. His daughter's boyfriend, Fandall, the mass gaming commission, just talking it out before the feds poison it. Thanks and have a good week. And that's Randy from Mansfield. I just think it's hysterical how dumb it is. Big deal. What he had is girlfriends, or I'm sorry, his daughter's boyfriend, Bedfram and Massachusetts. Oh no. Wow. Imagine that asking someone that lives in a state with legalized gambling, gambling for you.

29:29And it's illegal. It's proxy betting. Well, he should go to jail and it should a lot of repercussions for that. Bill gonna lose his job. What job is that? Exactly. That he's gonna lose. No, what job would he put it? Listen, and he's not even dumb to say it on the podcast or whatever he does. The podcast is what it would be called, right? Like, and so, and I'm saying that little Jimmy, I didn't know if it was a stream or a podcast. Say he said it on podcast. He's not even dumb for doing that because who the hell would think that anyone would care? That's the price of being popular. That's why he has a problem and I don't. I could say that all the time and no one would care. Because he's popular and I'm not. That's where I have the upper hand and that way to go. Yeah, that's why the Tuscanos thing, good. The more popular guy got in some, some dumb. Yeah, I, when I first read that story and like, oh, gambling scandal, this will be juicy. It's nothing. Yeah. It happens. In fact, I would say if it weren't for that, that mobile gambling wouldn't be as popular

30:33because there's a lot of people doing this for, and then there are fewer and fewer states where it's not legal, but it happens all the time. Stop it. Proxy betting. Yeah, I mean, like if you're in Vegas and you never have been in Vegas before all this legalized gambling and so on said, hey, can you put a bet down at the book for me? I, well, I used to do it a lot. I did it for you like way back in the day because my friend would go there and place bets on Games Force, of course. Yeah, I mean, we've all done it. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, okay, and by the way, it was like on Fandall or something. It's, I highly doubt it was a million dollars. You know, seems like he just wanted a couple bets to be made. Yeah. Big deal. Yeah, I don't think that's anything. And it's a little silly that it was even a story to be honest. Shawnee emailed us, wanted to let us know that the fart doctor's story has now gone at National, not for anything that, you know, we did unfortunately in our part in the

31:35study, but CNN posted this just a couple hours ago about the University of Maryland and the doctor that we've had on the show several times now. And of course, the fart monitors that were worn by both Nick and Adolfo. Yeah. The lame stream news always picks up our stuff like a couple weeks after. Yeah. It's CNN. It's kind of our Pablo Torrey moment. Yeah. Be it NPR, like a lot of things we discussed on the show just miraculously seem to be part of the zeitgeist. Hmm. Immediately after. Chip, go ahead. So this is regarding with this boom versus Gonzalez contract. Right. So the key sticking point to me seems to be the link that this term of the contract, right? Because if the Patriots want to trade him, they're going to get stuck with the bonus, right? Which is going to be spread. Gonzalez wants three years. Patriots want four, five, six years because you can spread the hit.

32:38And that's where where there's spoon gave up. That's where where there's been like like relented a little bit. Yes. Exactly. And I don't think I think that might be what and why should Gonzalez care about that? Just give me the money and then you know, the Patriots can do what they got to do later. I don't think that's that should be a sticking point, but that really seems like it truly is right now. Yeah. It seems like something that could be worked out. There's no question about it. And that yeah, like I was saying and we've all and everyone in the audience has heard enough about this to know now. Yes. Witherspoon gave them more years in order to get all that money up front. And you want the money up front for obvious reasons. Is that the compounds and you. They either have the money now. And it's also protection in case you get hurt in year two of the deal as well. Right. Yeah. There's a lot of advantages like if you get a pile of money. Yeah. There's a lot of advantages to it because now that's your money and that money. Nothing makes money like money. So when you have that money short of you know, getting involved in shady investment schemes

You're a Michigan State Spartans. Now they have Fitzgerald and everyone hates that higher. They needed to do something to get any kind of normalcy. And I don't think there's any way they're going to be as bad as people think they are. First of all, produce a disaster. Ruckers just lost to UMass. Like how bad could Michigan State be?

38:51And I wasn't following Northwestern. So I think Fitzgerald was decent coach. Until the end. Yeah. We're very bad at the end, but he was a great coach for them until the end. The quarterback situation is interesting in Michigan State. I like the kid. Yeah. They let the other kid transfer, but they let him go. And he's the starter. I forget where he's the starter at. But nonetheless, a child's. Yeah, child's. Yeah, I don't know where I don't know where he went. Yeah, but he was just named the starter wherever he went. It's his fifth year or something. I think I'm like 30 new players. By the way, they'll beat Notre Dame. Don't worry about Colorado. Colorado would win 50 first year transfers on their roster. Did you see the difference in the offense with Dion with this kid? They would throw the ball all over the place. I think Colorado ran the football 45 or 50 times last night. And Georgia tech only ran for like 46 yards. Yeah, they missed that quarterback so much. I know. Meanwhile, the SEC is filed a lawsuit and the.

39:53Yeah. Well, did you see the lane kiffin article? Yeah, then he was like a huge alcoholic that was like banging students and that they would find him like crying because he was like, this is all when he was an assistant with Alabama. After all, the controversies that lend him to be assistant to go through the Alabama car wash. And he would go out and use a fake name to bang students. And not like in a bad way, but like, you know, he would go out and like he had a family and he would go out and just like, proudy, you know, Alabama bars, the Tuscaloosa bars. And then he was be drunk and they would go like, what are you doing? Like your family and he would start breaking down into tears. But he's quit drinking. He says he says quit drinking. Well, he seems to be the the standalone there. LSU planning on playing at least one of their formerly professional players tomorrow as they take on Clemson. It's time we, a Louisiana judge said that it was okay.

40:56Any other state? Nope. And by the way, he heard the case or the judge heard the case pretty quickly like right before he somehow got that case in before they play. Absolutely. Clear the docket.
