Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time, a wave original. My name is Beaumani Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are a hater. We're going to talk about, shall we call it,

an economic downturn of sorts in college football. I'll tell you what I mean in a minute. But first, the Chiefs, and the Eagles played a week two battle in the game of the week slot, the late afternoon game, right? I wonder sometimes when these things come up as they do what the network people are thinking about it. Because when you put that sort of game in week one,

like the Thursday night game, it's kind of cool, right? Like, I think they shut out on this, but I remember the last time that I could think of off the top of my head where the week one game was a rematch of the Super Bowl was the Panthers and the Broncos, start 2016, right? It's like, oh, man, they just played, right? Like, you get a crack and you got like a certain level of excitement about it. But the other part is when that happens, they're both oh and oh, right? You put this in week two. You get the possibility of either both teams being

one and oh, or at the very least one of those teams being going on one. Highly unlikely that they both be oh and one, but at least one of those teams being oh and one. And we all know the damning, doom and gloom statistics about what happened to teams that start seasons oh and two in terms of them going to the playoffs or going to the Super Bowl or anything else now as i recall the goddamn bangles have started a couple of seasons oh and two and managed to get their way into the playoffs and so that means anybody can do it i don't care if they got joe burrow or not they still got them ugly helmets they still they are who they are they still got the owner that used to make their reuse jock straps in there you know what i'm saying

like if they can do it anybody can they out here itching like a motherfucker anyway um we now have oh and two chiefs all right congratulations to the eagles they are two and no they did not look great i don't think that they look great in either of the games that they played to start this season but they did not look great but they're two and oh which means how they look becomes a much more secondary concern okay the chiefs are are 0 and 2. And you have to understand, and maybe this is unfair of me to do this in this way, but I want to make sure that I get these numbers right. But I know these two games don't have anything to do with each other. There's a great separation between the two. I don't want to be

too exaggerate. But I'm just saying for me, it is very difficult on the same day where I saw Russell Wilson throw for 450 yards to watch Patrick Mahomes throw for a buck 87. Like, that was jarring. Ryan, you know, we're both up here in New York City. I don't know if you got an opportunity to watch any of Russell Wilson. But apparently what they have decided for that team or maybe just against the Cowboys was, yeah, like it was a video game. All I do was throw bombs. Yeah, four, four verts.

What's, what's, let's chuck it to Malik and see what happens. Every play. You know what happens? He runs by everybody, right? Like the Cowboys, good for you guys. Glad you guys got to win. But Russell Wilson, who we all thought was washed, I would start calling that Cowboys defense. If they keep doing stuff like that, the Fountain of you, start calling them the Time Machine. Like all of a sudden, people get right back at it. They're like Epsom sauce. Russell Wilson got into game. It was like, wow, my knee hasn't felt this good in years. Yeah. Nate Tynes talked about how Russell Wilson always wanted to be president. And he was feeding his constituents, his constituents being, B'Leak. He was. It was. By the way, he got himself into trouble because it clearly became video game time. And he's just like, I just throw it deep except Baleek wasn't going deep that time.

And he threw the interception. Yeah. And then the game went back the other way. But watching the Chiefs, Ryan and I were texting during the game, and he made the best point. And I think I heard Tom Brady also say the same thing or Kevin Burkrod. I can't remember which one of them in the broadcast. But the point was, it all looks like work. Like the Chiefs, it all looks like.

work. That's not fun. I almost don't care about their record. I care about us. And this is not fun. It's not fun to watch. Mahomes doesn't look like he's having a good time. He's handing it off to a geriatric running back. And it like you see the offenses exploding all over the league today. You know, the bill's put up 30. Your lions put up 50. Yes, they did. And Mahomes and the chiefs, they look like they're playing a different sport and not in a good way. Yo, so as a visual product. Something I find to be interesting about this. I'm going to want you to ask you to ride this out with me because I'm going to get a little bit

touchy-feely, a little you know those words that feel like they go somewhere in a sentence, but you don't like always know exactly what they mean. I was about to put ethereal in there, but I don't really know exactly what that means. But neither here nor there.

Okay. So, me and my brother and the homie tray over here hanging out the other day and we watched, a YouTube video of a concert of Prince in 1990. Now, over the course of the last, call it a month or so, I have watched three live print shows through streaming, all right?

I promise you it's gonna make sense. First one is Prince Live, 1985 in Syracuse, which I think is the best live concert I've ever seen, like, documented on film. I recommend that you go check it out. And that is Prince at the Appalachians absolute height of his powers. That's Michael Jordan in 92 to the Bronn James in 2012. Like that is that is the pinnacle of that rare

generational talent, right? It was never going to look like that ever again. And I noticed that especially after watching the concert from Love Sexy Tour in 1998, which is, I mean 1988, which is just three years after. And it's going, but it ain't the same, right? The homie think is still there playing the keys, but it the same band that it was. You know what I mean? Like the vibes, he's still as good as he ever was, right?

But the vibes, they're not the same, right? Then you fast forward. It's a concert in Tokyo 1990 on the new tour. And again, we're not that far removed from absolute peak of powers. And the songs are still good. He's still capable of doing all kinds of things. But after we watched the concert from 1990,

me and my brother pulled up, we were talking about the song, 17 days. hashtag I Y K Y Y K YK, right? And I was like, yo, I got this. There's a dope video of Prince playing 17 days at the forum in 2011. So he pulled that up, right? 17 days goes, first of all, right?

That was why I pulled that up because it's, man has so much heat. He was just throwing super heat on the B sides. But anyway, so watch this eight-minute version of 17 days. And it's excellent. It's absolutely excellent. The band is excellent. He's playing some like dope-ass funk licks on the guitar. All of it goes. But my brother stops and he looks at me and he makes the point. He's like, the thing is, he's plenty good. But the light ain't there. Like the light in 85 just shone so bright, right? But that light ain't there. And you watch in 20, And the light ain't the same when you watch it in 1990 versus when it was bright as it had ever been in 1985, right? This is kind of the evolution for us, I would say, of the Patrick Mahones' experience. Now, it's a little different with the Mahomes experience because it really took a couple

years for the press shit to really get to crack like that. But Mahomes walked in the door and the light was blowing. us away. It's the reason why people like me say he's the best quarterback that we've ever seen, right? You're not going to convince me that he got worse, but you go look out there. The band, it ain't really the same band, right? In this case, where I say you still see fink in the scrubs, you still see Travis Kelsey out there in the uniform, but it ain't the same band. They don't ascend to the same highs. And subsequently, they don't, push my homes to rise to those highs in the way that you saw it happen before, right?

And so I don't think, oh and two means that the chiefs are like somehow not going to make the playoffs. I still think they will. I know they're going to be in a very difficult division and all those things, but I think that they still going to get it cracking, right? I mean, I think they're going to get some players back. Like, I think some stuff will happen, okay? I don't think they're an excellent team, but I think they'll be okay. But in terms of this matters to most of us as fans, is that even if the Chiefs weren't your squad,

unless you were in the AFC West, you had to marvel at the light, right? Like you had to marvel at what the shine is. Like right now, the light off of Josh Allen is crazy, right? The Lamar Jackson, like, still goes crazy. I don't know if they got better. better than my homes. I don't know if they would be doing much different under the same circumstances as my homes. But I know the light don't shine as bright. And man, that is not nearly as much

fun over here, especially since I like to watch football with my buddy Nick. Now, I didn't watch this game with him. I don't even know if he was over there, right? But if they don't get this light going or get something figured out, man, that's going to interfere with my. I hold experience. It ain't pleasant when that happens. You feel me? You see what I'm saying? But that's what stuck.

Like Ryan said, it all looked like work and felt like work. I was like, damn, yeah, I think that is the characterization. And I think that's what we get here. And by the way, the Eagles, it doesn't quite look the same. Their offense did not look great. That Chief's defense that did not look good against San Diego, they were looking pretty damn good against the Eagles, because the Eagles is a little bit different over there too.

But they seem to be in that we just going to find. a way to win space, and that is what happens when any short yardage comes up and you know you got it. I just can't imagine how dispirited it is when they decide to run the booty push. I just can't, like, what are we supposed to do? I have no idea. I do have this question. Ryan, I was curious if anybody else had thought this thing I'm going to say, even though it's unlikely anybody else. Okay. So you know how I started off looking for a team and then I found the Lions and I like what the Lions were doing and then I watched them more and more. And then I didn't fully realize that I had truly become a fan because when they went to the NFC championship game, I was just happy they got there. It didn't really hit me that the space that I had gotten into to goddamn J-mo threw that ball the ball away. Remember that dude that got caught gambling at the team facility with Big Brain Ben put the ball in his hand and let him make a damn.

an important decision at an important time. It's my fistballed up. Okay. Let me let that go, right? But it was in that moment that I realized, damn, I'm really in on this, right? So the chiefs got all these new fans, swifties, right? They came in because they swifties, right? They rooting for the chiefs because they rooting for Travis because it goes back to their queen.

It all goes together, right? But I imagine the farther and farther along that this is gone, some of them truly got into the Chiefs. You know what I'm saying? Like some of them truly became fans and they really want the Chiefs to win and they're really invested. You think any of them started cussing at Travis Kelsey

when they saw him on the TV? Well, yeah, when he dropped the go-ahead touchdowns? Hell yeah, when he dropped that, go-ahead, pass. Like, look, that's the thing about the Chiefs in this game. If you really want to give them the benefit of the doubt, this really turns on just a couple of things, right? Right. Like Kelsey does not drop that pass.

They're probably, or let's just say forget about doesn't drive. Let's give him a catch, right? Because it's part of it if he doesn't, how many drops it, it doesn't get intercepted. But, you know, but if he catches that pass, they score that touchdown there, and it's probably Nick, and tippet tuck all the way there, right? They went from probably going up four to then going down,

what, 10 when the ball got back the other way, right? somebody had to be furious for Travis Kelsey at that point, right? Like, yeah, yeah, they're not Travis Kelsey fans. They Taylor Swift fans, and they became Chiefs fans because of Taylor Swift. But then that still means he got to do his part. You think they want her to be with a man that can't catch? You know what I'm saying? Like the day might come that she fall out of burning building or something like that.

They're going to need to know that he got hands. They're not happy with that. Somewhere there's a message board on the dark web or something like that where the real swifties are like, hey man, that motherfucker look old. There's somebody there that's feeling that way because Ryan, he look old.

I mean, he is, I mean, we forget he's 35, 36 and he looks like it out there. I mean, he doesn't run the way he used to. And, you know, when you start dropping balls at the goal line, obviously, you know, you're not causing an interception, but he's, he is not making the play. that he needs to make him. As long as they're down their top two receivers,

that offense is going to keep looking like work. Right. So the thing is, it's asking too much for him to be like dynamic. Right. But you do need them to be steady in the face of what everything else is. Like, I mean,

their best running threat in this game without question was Patrick Mahomes. Who, by the way, I will note, I agreed with the argument that him faking like he going out of bounds and him hitting him cats with them shoulders was dirty pool. But I don't know.

He hit that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's that, he gave him that shoulder last year. What's his name, Mustafa? He gave him that shoulder last year. And apparently this is, like, his new thing. He gave somebody a shoulder in this game, too. Where I'm like, damn, dog, you don't even look like you lift weights. But here you are.

You think he's trying to compensate for the dad bod? Man, I, all I'm saying is this. It ain't, in that case, it ain't dad bod. His dad strump. You know, like, he just, I'm not saying he don't lift weights. I just have no reason to believe it. like it looked like he lift weights with Paul Pierce and Yokich.

Right? I'm not saying that they don't. I just don't, you know, you know. Like I always said, Yokic looked like he went to the trainer with that picture of Tom Brady at the combine. It was like a, like one of these.

Yeah. This is my dream body. Body goals, body goals right here. This is where they are. But all right. So if the chiefs, let's say the chiefs are at this point. The chiefs are 0 and 2.

All right. Let's say, that they come out of this weekend. Because I think we got the charges playing against the Texans on Monday night. Chargers. Yeah, Chargers Raiders. Chargers Raiders. Okay.

Oh, the Texans. Oh, and the Texas. It's a Monday night doubleheader in the second week of a year. I thought that when they didn't do the double header on week one, I was like, oh, cool, somebody finally got wise. Apparently I was wrong. I'll late you think I'm staying up to watch the race. and the chargers.

You fucking must be high. This is preposterous. They think we can do anything. And I'm just talking about me. They'll come back up. Highest overnight rating ever. Yeah. I mean, if someone will watch,

it just might not be us on the East Coast. Yeah. But, right, let me ask you this, right? Five catches for 27 yards for AJ Brown. How much longer do you think that this is going to be sustainable? I don't, I mean, after he got one target last week,

I, um, if there's one thing I know about, um, receive, um, outspoken wide receivers. It's that they do not suddenly become less outspoken as they get older. They threw for one hundred and one yards in this game. Like that, it can't be that. No. It, it, it cannot be that. Like, again, a chiefs team whose defense, we have questions about coming off of week one. and I guess we'll see what it is for the rest of the year.

But I think the Eagles, the Eagles, the Eagles were this close to us having all this talk that I'm doing about the Chiefs about them. Right. Right. It was just there. But yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It ain't going to be so long. AJ Brown going to be going for that.

Devante Smith, four for 53 in this one. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just telling you right now. They're going to need to tighten some things up for them. But at least they ain't going to have no angry Swifties going at him. All right. Another NFL story that is interesting to watch is that boy Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins,

he needs to watch out. And here's why he needs to watch out. NFL teams typically like to wait until a bye week before they fire their coaches. All right. The Dolphins don't have a buy week until week 12. Week 12. Okay.

That means there's a chance that they can fire Mike McDaniels at any given time. Ryan, do we have this sound of Tua try to explain how it is that his wide receivers need to start running so fast? We do not, but it is, he is, the team seems to be in almost open revolt. I mean, you had Tyreek on Friday going out of reporter for, you know, asking him about why he hasn't had, you know, more than a 30-yard catching over a year. Yes. him and two us seem to genuinely hate each other. Mike McDaniel looks miserable on the sidelines and a loss of the Patriots.

And it looks like he can go sideways at any time. All right. So look, Tyree Kiel is not as fast as he used to be, right? But his quarterback stood at the podium after the game and basically said that he tells Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill, you know damn well, I can't throw the ball that far. So y'all out here running 80 yards down the field, you know I can't get that to you. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, big dogs. Diarte Elise said,

you don't need to be this honest in front of people. But if your whole game is being fast and running far and catching the ball and you got a quarterback who can't do it, although didn't Tyreek Hill say that

Tua threw a better ball than Patrick Mahomes, didn't he do that? Yeah. I bet they missed the hell out of each other, boy. They like that commercial. so that turn around every now and then. You know that commercial right there?

I bet you they'd be thinking that about themselves. But anyway, I bring this up about Mike McDaniel, I think he can get fired at any time. Because if I'm learning anything from college football, you really can get fired at any time. Like, look, college football coaches have gotten fired early in seasons, but it normally takes a lot. For example, the time that Arkansas lost their,

first game of the season at home to the Citadel in 1992, and they fired to coach the same night, right? The same night. You also have like the example of when people was getting crooned. Ryan, I think you're probably too young to remember when people was out here getting crooned. I remember that one. Yeah. Yeah. Mississippi State. Sylvester. Yes, Mississippi State hired Sylvester Crume, the first blackhead coach in the history of the southeastern conference and teams saying to have this incredible coincidence of losing the Mississippi state and then suddenly firing their coaches. The first one of note was Ron Zuck and Jeremy Foley, the AD of Florida gave the all-time

classic line. That which will be done eventually must be done immediately. And he was right. But Zuck for whatever it's worked stuck around the rest of the year that hired Irmaier to want a couple of national championships, all this stuff. Hey man, Virginia Tech lost to Old Dominion. which is an absolutely indefensible loss. They fired their coach three weeks into the season.

UCLA is not just that they lost to New Mexico. They lost to New Mexico, and it looked like 15 people were at the game. All right. And so Deshawn Foster's the head coach. He just got fired, and it was never going to go too well for him in the first place because Chip Kelly moved on from that job in like February of that. year because he realized it was time to get out ahead of the cavalry and I think he just decided he didn't want to be a head coach anymore he just wanted to call plays he left to be like I don't remember

I've ever seen a head coach leave of their own volition to be an OC yes he just he was like that's how miserable he was there yeah he didn't want to do that so then you get the job late UCLA as a program doesn't have any money it certainly tells me that in terms of getting players they don't have any money, but they didn't just lose to New Mexico. They got your asses kicked by New Mexico, right? Like, that was a, that was, that's a job. That's a loss that gets you fired. And Virginia coach, Virginia Tech lost, lost the Old Dominion. That's right. It was dabble and lost to Georgia Tech. My bad. I almost got it mixed up. But anyway, um, they getting them out of here faster than ever, right? Now, one thing about it is you get to coach out of there. The,

transfer portal, if I'm not mistaken, opens up for 30 days immediately after that. So teams are going to try to stretch it out as long as they can. But one of the fascinating things about college football to me is that what is what is different for every single team? What is tolerable, what is intolerable, all of these things. None of it is the same for from school to school, right? Caleb DeBerex, The Braves off of Wisconsin this week. Doesn't matter, buddy.

You might as well have done that to Jacksonville State. They got a different standard over there, right? Billy Napier right now is lucky coach at Florida where he is I mean he's under 500 going into year four this job and that's not a job where you get to have a losing record and typically or have a record like he does and typically get this far um for me charlie strong is the great example of that where I thought he was handed that job in a really bad time like he got handed a bare covered but no excuses are ever going to allow you to have two straight losing seasons at the university of Texas. It's not happening. You're going to get

fired, period. Yeah. Speaking of Florida, they still have to play Georgia, Texas, Miami, and Florida State. Yeah. Yeah. It's not. It's a, it's for Napier, it's not, it's not if, but it's win. Right. It's not going

to get better. But think about this, right? When I talk about, like, how quirky it can be about keeping your job or losing your job, they lost that game to South Florida, right? After South Florida started the season, beating Boise State. They lost a close one to South Florida, okay? South Florida was ranked number 18 going into last week's game and then play in Miami

and got their doors blown off. If South Florida had lost to Miami and then lost to Florida, I think Billy Napier gets fired. Instead, Billy Napier simply took Florida to Death Valley at LSU and lost by 10 points in a game with a quarterback through five interceptions. And that is a survivable loss, right? It's still LSU, right? They still, people still think very, very highly of them.

That remained a survivable loss. And so he could wind up keeping his job. I am still, though, just simply blown away that the stakes of college football have gotten so high that Virginia Tech can't just ride this out a little bit long. like with all due respect who do y'all think y'all are i just i i i i understand the virginia take has had a great deal of success a long time ago right okay they might as well be army at this point for a horseman of the apocalypse you know what i'm saying like that was a long time ago but that's

what this has become UCLA look you wind up in this situation especially when people stop showing up to the games, especially at a school that needs the money. When people stop showing up to the games, you got to do that if you're UCLA. I just don't see what this is actually going to help at this point. Like, do you think now that they fired the coach, all of a sudden, these boys that could not beat, that could not beat New Mexico? You think all of a sudden they're going to become a Big Ten capable school? Because they might not win a game. I'll run the rest of this schedule by you. They They got a game this week at Northwestern. After that, home for Penn State, at Michigan State, home for Maryland, at Indiana, home for Nebraska, at Ohio State, home for Washington at USC.

They might not win another game. And I could be wrong, but I feel like if all you're going to do is lose all your games, you might as well keep the same loser that you started with, right? Like it also gets to the next question. Ryan, you tell me if I'm tripping here. But I'm sure that man got a buyout in his contract. If y'all ain't got no money, can y'all just be throwing it around willy-nilly? I just, I don't know how you win in a major conference at UCLA. I like, I don't know.

The interesting thing about college football, what you said is every school is a different standard. Every school has to figure out who you want to be. How is UCLA ever going to compete with Oregon and Ohio State and, Michigan, you know, and Nebraska. You didn't even say USC. And I didn't even get to USC across the street. Like my thing is, they are going to regret this decision to go to the Big Ten so much. And I understand, I guess they're not going to regret it because it was the only option, right?

Like, this is the decision that was required for survival and as a university, like, on an academic level, being part of the Big Ten. That's the conference that means something in terms of academic reputation, right? I get that all the way. But you're just not going to tell me that this is going to. be any fun for them. Like everything that's changing in college sports, it's making it all less fun. It's making it a lot more serious. It's making it a lot more professional. Now, I want to be very clear about this. I have always been a proponent of paying the players.

I am glad that they are finally getting money that is in line with a market wage that they swore us for decades, that nobody would ever pay it that the market would never bear out and that they weren't actually worth any money. And we have obviously seen that they are worth this money. And it would run off all the fans who somehow would stop watching on television. Correct. Correct. Right.

Every argument they gave is none of them hold the part that we didn't say loud enough. And I do, I can say, I did say this, despite of what my belief is that they should get paid, right? This is not fun. This is not, this isn't going to be what we've wanted it to be, right? We don't know who plays for anybody. anymore. The stakes for the coaches are so high. It's you're firing coaches and firing them in week three and all of this. This campus, I mean, this conference realignment has gone in such a way that the conferences

barely make any sense so you don't get any really true sense of rivalry because you don't play enough games against teams that matter to you or that your friends went to or stuff like that. All of this is thrown off in a way that is not comfortable for me. But I do wonder this. What's it going to be if schools like these make these decisions at these rates? And as I say all of this and how it's all gotten so serious to everybody else, I admit the more that I talk, I've basically talked myself into calling for Billy Napier's job this week.

I'm not saying that I think, I mean, look, he's going to get paid. One of the thing I need to be very clear about, like, you know, everybody's like, no, you don't need to call for people's jobs. Doe, dot, dot. Let me tell you something, man. Every time I got fired for my job, the check stopped. that ain't the case with these jokes. You know what I'm saying?

Big boy jobs and big boy responsibilities. Yeah, look, man, the problem with losing your job is not losing your job is losing your check. If you still got a check, I don't really understand what we're out here. Well, your kids have to go through this. Don't tell them then. You ever think about that? A little kid three years old. He's seven years old.

The kids at school are saying that his daddy got fired. Tell him daddy's still getting paid. Daddy going to pull up to school in a Rose Royce asking her if they, Ask him if they daddies got Rose Royces working 60 hours a week. Hell no, I bet they don't. You know what I'm saying? But this is what it is going to be. And Mike McDaniel, you better hope that Stephen Ross is not paying attention

ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire. All right, let's get to some stories from around the weekend. Terence Crawford defeated Canela Alvarez for historic undisputed. crown. You won on the unanimous decision. He became 42 and O, became the first mailbox in the four belt error to be undisputed champion three weight classes. Bo, were you surprised by the result? I was, I don't know if I was surprised by the result. Yes, I was because I felt like going up that high in weight class, like going up that high in weight, as Crawford did, was a daunting task

for him to perform. But it was like a clear victory on top of that. Like, I don't think anybody could have fairly come away from that thinking that when it went to the cars that Canelo had any chance once it got that far. I want to ask this question, and I'm going to ask it on behalf of, I feel like all of us, all right? I don't even think that we can split this up into different demographics of life. I think this is an across-the-board feeling. What took so long? And when I say, what took so long, this is what I mean. I know why I fell asleep on my couch,

but I don't remember what time I fell asleep on my couch. But I remember I woke up on my couch and it was somewhere around 11.30, maybe close to 12. And I look up and I see some dude wearing garb patterned after the Mexican flag and he was coming to the ring, but he wasn't know Canelo Alvarez. And then after he gets to the ring, it's something. dude from Ireland who gets in the ring. And I'm like, wait a minute.

It's about to be midnight. I was afraid that I had slept through the fight. It's about to be midnight. And it's the fight before the fight. That fight did not start until one o'clock in the morning Eastern time. It cannot. Who voted for this? If they want to fix boxing, there's many things they can do.

and it seems like they're very, there are clearly resources between the Saudis and Dana White trying to fix it. The first thing they can do is start these fights at a reasonable hour. Yeah, not that late. Look, I'm willing to go like 11, even 12. Like, I get it. You're having the fight on the West Coast. Like, oh my God, I could not believe that fight took so long.

I will also say it did feel a bit dystopia seeing Data White and that Saudi man sitting there front row watching. Like, it was a lot going on. That was like, ugh, like under the heading of, I'm not sure this is making things better, but let me tell you this. One of the homies was down there in Vegas for that fight, and he said it was as dead a fight weekend as there had ever been. And this is the Mexican Independence Day weekend fight

that has been a sure shot for the boxing industry and for Las Vegas as anything has ever been. And he said that Vegas felt dead. I am saying all that to say. That sound like a session is coming. Yeah, I mean, there's been a lot of stories about, you know, the recent decline to Vegas and people, you know, with, you know, the rise of gambling and the amount of private equity that's trying to squeeze every dollar of every, you know, Vegas tourists that people have become less and less interested. And it's interesting that, you know, as Vegas is trying to become a big event town, those things seem to be in conflict. So I would say, and this is my thought, I think that this speaks, part of it is probably.

stuff, but I think it just speaks to an overall, like, economy level thing. Like when the, and, and also foreign tourism, right? Like, you know, you're afraid to ice gun cubs sweeping these streets. That is a, that is a consideration. But, like, the zoomers were making the argument that they were the ones that was causing the drop off in Vegas because they don't like it because it's inauthentic and da-da-da and all of this stuff. But if you never went, you aren't the reason for the fall off, right? I would think that a special event, but a regular special event, right? Like a fight is different than Labor Day or just a holiday weekend.

I would think that... Because the Super Bowl, a couple years ago, didn't feel dead. Oh, no, it wasn't dead at all. It was not dead at all. But I would have thought that a fight like this, it would have cracked no matter what. And it's not. And back I say, that is, we are getting lots of harbingers for this economy, including the one that said that the economy and like the last year,

actually created a million less jobs or something like that than advertise. guys. Y, ye. All right, let's get to college football. We talked about this earlier, but LSU beat Florida 20 to 10, forcing five interceptions.

However, Brian Kelly was not happy after the result. Let's take a listen. I know you love these immediate post-game sessions, but what are you seeing with your all-prints? Stop, really? Is that the first question? We won the game 20 to 10. Try another question.

What do you want me to tell you? I just laid it out for you. We played the game to win the game. We played the game to win the game. All right. How about third down then? What is going on to third down? It's one game.

Last game, we were great on third down. You're micro, you're looking at this from the wrong perspective. LSU won the football game. Won the game. I don't know what you want for me. What do you want? You want us to win 70 to nothing against? People don't like Brian Kelly.

I, as an LSU fan, I underestimated how much people did not like Brian Kelly until he got there. And it is worst four years in than it was in terms of people not liking him. I knew it off the rip because I just paid a lot of attention to the Notre Dame situation. And again, one of the wildest things ever, he didn't bring a single assistant with him from Notre Dame to LSU. Like that is That never happens Yeah, however that happens That is crazy

However, I think that everything That involves Brian Kelly Doing something we don't like is obviously colored by the fact that people don't like him in the first place But in this case asking the third down questions with the first question at the press conference

If your goal was to get a thoughtful answer Was bad strategy one could even argue it was bad form. But if you were trying to get Brian Kelly to engage you and give you something illuminating about those struggles, that was not the time to do it. The reporter also sent a tweet after that said, maybe I shouldn't have asked off the gate, out to gate, but it had to be asked or whatever, which is absolutely you reporter centering yourself in this story here,

which is the kind of thing that makes people standing at microphones talk crazy to you. Right? Like I just, there are fair questions to be asked about. Especially for someone, especially someone like Brian Kelly

who's known to say crazy things at these posts came references. This is correct. Right? I think it's a fair question to say that a team that won at home by 10 points against a team that looks bad and through five interceptions.

Maybe you should have won by more than 10 points, right? Like this is it. And also the new. New Penny Shine is off of that Clemson win now that Clemson has lost to Georgia Tech. Okay. I get all of those things. But I also acknowledge there was a better way to go about doing that in that moment. But nobody, nobody is going to weep for Brian.

All right, Bo, let's have a little bit more fun. Calyps and Farrell played a free show at the Vatican. Star-studded wind up of that. of artist, including Jennifer Hudson, Bam Bam, Jollyroll, and John Legend. Bo, what were your thoughts when you saw this news? I had two thoughts on this. Number one, you can't even go to the,

to the, the Europe, the Holy Land of Europe, without goddamn jelly roll being there. Jelly roll is everywhere. I can't, like... Culturally ubiquitous in a way that I thought would never be possible. Yes, and I've never heard a jelly roll song. I have seen jelly I mean like I

The jelly roll songs I have heard are not this incarnation of jelly roll right it's like the more the more like hip hopish although I don't know what is I don't even know what jelly roll does right now I just seen jelly roll tell everybody that Jesus love them and after that

jelly roll is everywhere jelly roll everywhere like I remember once I was at the Super Bowl not Super Bowl it was an all-star game in New Orleans in 2014 and I did Dan Levitard's radio show after I'd done that, I come back. And I was saying something.

I was like, so I went to this event, and I said who to sponsor the event was. And I said, to Mike Ryan, I said, and guess who was at the party? He was like, I don't know. I was like, who's everywhere? And he goes, Kevin Hart. I was like, Kevin Hart was at the party. That was exactly who it was. Because in 2014, Kevin Hart was everywhere.

That's how Jelly Roll feel right now. All that being said, I just can't book. clips at the Vatican. I struggle with this. What is the set list? What, what songs are they going to, who vetted this? I know the new pope is from Chicago, but is this the kind of music he listens to?

Yo, who clears this? Like, is, I'm assuming they go have to play edited mixes? I just, who is this for? That is a great question, because the bill is all over plays. again, who's gonna be there? It was, Pharrell, Jennifer Hudson, jelly roll, clips, and Teddy Swims. Ah, Teddy Swims. I saw him on the New Year's TV show one time.

I know nothing about him. I don't nothing about him either. I think Post Malone, did Post Malone say no? Or was Post Malone? Talk about someone who's also, it seems to be everywhere. Yo, Post Malone. I think I've talked about this on this show. I want to know what the moment is that you get you a white rapper

and then finally somebody hands them that acoustic guitar. And it's like, aren't you start being serious about your life, huh? Right? Like, it's time for you to, what the Bible say? It's time for you to put away childish things. Come back. Come over here. Come over here, son.

We go over here and let's start playing some balance. Yeah, pull your fucking pants up and let's go get this money. Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader was, seemed to be having a great time at the U.S. Open. She was dating both Alcoraz and Sinner, according to page six. You know, they obviously faced off in the U.S. open file and were apparently dating the same woman.

Okay. I am very curious as to whether or not they knew they were dating the same woman, right? I don't have the answer. That part would be interesting. But I am also, I feel like I wonder how much she knows about Don King. Okay, so this is what I mean. Don King had a rule about doing fights. Always leave in the limo with the champ.

maybe that maybe that was her play right maybe that was their game look you can't you can't not leave with the champ if you're dating both of them that's what I'm saying that's what I'm saying she always she's like a fight promoter right like she got she she she taking care of both sides is like real estate to her I wonder like do they both did they both leave her tickets at the window right or did she at least have the decency to be like now I would be busy that weekend I can't just be in here because you can you imagine if you looked up into your box and you thought she was going to be there.

You're like, huh, I wonder what that's about. And then you happen to look over into the other box and that's where she's at. And then you win and she leave the other box and come try to get next to you. And you know damn well, you're going to go for it. Wow. Props to her.

We need to get a TV show with her and Jordan Hudson and find out who else out here. Like, she out here, she coiled a rain. Girls are players too. She got all the game. All right. We've opened up the voicemail line, you know, people hitting us up with all sorts of things.

Great responses, as always. Here's our first one. Hey, Beaumani, this is Jimmy from Chicago. I just want to say thank you, bro. I've been following you for a long time. I just want to say thank you. I cut hair in Chicago. and one of the talks in Mar-Bavs show,

one of the debates, is Scotty Pickin's overrated. And I just want to say thank you because it seems like you're the only person that sees. I don't know why people have this misconception that this dude is clutch, that I had a guy that met me that Scotty average 20 points for his career.

Easy as money I ever made. Oh, let me take that back. I had a dude bet me that Scotty scored more points for his career and Dominique Williams. I can't make this shit up on my. I just want to say thank you. I don't know what these people change the net of all Scotty Pippen. As a defender, I'll say I'm great.

but overall player come on man this dude was a choke artist supreme anytime they need a big presence from him

nine times I can see young cheeks face god he's picking his reasons to this day and I'm going to send Antonio Spurge there

because of game 7 against the pistons in the migraine after that game I I don't believe for the bulls and start being for the spurs. Like I said, I just want to say thank you, Beaumani. I know the people at home when they hear, they know exactly who this year. And I don't like no Chicago teams.

And I'm from Chicago morning race. Take care of later. Yeah, I do have to say, though, right, ditching the bulls in 1990 to pick up the spurs. Like, it just needed to weigh one boyish year. Yeah. Just the bus was right down there. Just, just, it was coming for you. It was telling you, you know, selling your Apple stock.

Yeah, yeah. But no, man, that's Scotty thing, man. It is only people think Scotty is overrated or underrated. There's no room in between on that. It's the only two spaces that you have. Scotty overrated or Scotty underrated. That is it. That is.

And Barbershot, I think I told you, man, when I moved to Miami, that's what I cut my hair off because I was like, man, I can't get involved in no new Barbershop. conversations. Yeah. It's a re-bob. Yeah. You go over here so many,

your brain always space for so many texts. Yeah, I tapped out. I was tap out. I was like, especially now that I'm a quote-on-cold somebody. No, man, I had to tap out

on that entirely. All right. Here's one of our listeners from International Waters. Hi, Mr. Beaumani-Jones. How are you doing, sir? It's Emmanuel calling from London. Big fan of the podcast for many years.

I find your talks to expense a whole, particularly in flight for that, so on, from a boy who doesn't really understand or doesn't have that in-depth knowledge of American culture. It's a real eye-opener to how things go on. Yeah, so my question was, I often think he referred to someone being an Atlanta dude. I think there's Anthony Edwards you described him that way, or a conversation with El Duncan. I think you mentioned something being so Atlanta. I'm just curious, what exactly is meant by that?

My only real understanding of it was once where I was at a school grip with some kids from abroad and there was this one guy or one kid from Atlanta who we couldn't mean an order like nine, maybe 10. He had the gumption to go up to a grown-ass woman and essentially speak to her when most of us are too scared to speak to girls at her own age. So I think I've got early understanding of it, but it's really like your description of what's made by Atlanta to do or something we saw Atlanta in a bit more detail. But generally and truly, I'm going to say thank you for the hard work you do and that's being so great. First of all, thank you, my brother. I appreciate you. And wow, I am trying to think of the ways to explain this in terms that somebody from London would fully understand.

Okay, so the thing about Atlanta is, at least at this point in America, there is no city that, at its median, is now more culturally black than Atlanta. is right like like it it's it's nothing else i can't so that is a part of it right is a and then it comes to the question well what does it mean to be culturally black look man i ain't i ain't got words for everything right but specifically with anthony edwards it is the specific accent with which he speaks it is his diction like the specific words that he chooses at various points it is a certain air of, I always say the thing about Atlanta dudes like him is that you can tell that there's an

air of an awareness of like a larger world, even if there's not quite a familiarity with it. But with him, it is the outright confidence that I never have to edit this. I never have to change this. Because that's one thing about, if you really in Atlanta,

dude and you always around it, you don't really have to change how you kick it very much, right? There's an understanding that there's just a bunch of y'all who kick it like this. Anthony Edwards has taken that with him to Minnesota. But if I took you to Atlanta and let you hang out for a day and a half, you would understand what I was talking about. Putting it into words, more difficult than I realize it would be until you asked.

I would recommend if you want to understand what it means to be so late. And I would say go listen to clips from Cam Newton's podcast. That helps. That's a start. If I was putting together a syllabus, that would be, that's where I would start. All right, Bo, here's our last one. Hey, Juani, my question is, have you ever had a homie who didn't have good hygiene or his home girl didn't have good hygiene? I remember one of my homies, girl, well, before they was even dating, he knew that she had bad hygiene. And then they got together, my first question was like, hey, has her hygiene changed?

And he was like, yeah, she good. And then she came over to the house one time, and she smelled. terrible and I started to tell my homily, Hey, brother, you need to tell your home, your girl about her hygiene and he said, ain't nothing wrong with it. So this man was in denial. Has it ever happened to you? It's a cord there from the bay. All right. So I used to have a homie that was a little bit musty. And one time, me and my best friend went to kick him with his other homie.

And we was about to roll out. And he was like, yo, I was going to take a shower. But I ain't musty, so we'd cool. And then he wanted to. walked out, and they're my best friend. And anybody who knows Will knows exactly how he's sound. He was like, bro, I don't know what your boy is talking about, because he is rank. And he was, he was ranked.

The thing is, brother, that's when I was like 15 or 16. I ain't kicking it with nobody musty in a, and a musty no. No. Unfortunately, brother, I don't have any

advice for you other than evaluate things, lots of them, all of them. Yack. Hey, hey, man, ladies and gentlemen, nice for joining us here on the right time.
