Will the Steelers really be in on Aaron Rodgers? Bill Cowher thinks so. Where does this put the Steelers in 2025 if they actually pursue this avenue? How much better is he than Justin Fields at this point? Is it starting to feel like the Steelers truly have no clue how to handle QB?

There are a handful of sports figures who found success and fame in Pittsburgh, but then saw their careers quickly take a turn for the worse. We delve into the moments that led to their downfall - whether it was self-destructive behavior, unexpected loss of skills, or even circumstances beyond their control.REWIND is a series of our favorite Pittsburgh Sports Memories episodes that we will be dropping in between new episodes​Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

This week's podcast takes us back to 1996, when the Steelers faced a dilemma at the QB position after their Super Bowl starter headed into free agency. They had to choose between signing or drafting a QB, paying the one they had, or choosing from the three other QB's on the roster. We'll go into the details around that decision and talk about how it ultimately played out, plus we will draw comparisons to the decision the team would face 26 years later when Ben Roethlisberger retired.REWIND is a series of our favorite Pittsburgh Sports Memories episodes that we will be dropping in between new episodes​Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

After years of disappointment in the 1980's, new GM Tom Donahoe quickly built the Steelers into a Super Bowl contender in the 1990's via a handful of shrewd drafts, trades, and free agent signings. But just as quickly as they were built, bad personnel moves and a feud with head coach Bill Cowher brought the Steelers right back to square one as the decade ended.Find Pittsburgh sports gear and support the show at Fanatics!Connect with the show:Visit us on the webFollow us on TwitterFollow us on Facebook

Right now there are way too many people involved in our luggage getting to the airport. Boomer tells a story about coming back to the hotel last night, and only one elevator was working. There was a guy screaming about how the Chiefs suck and how Taylor Swift sucks. When Coach COWHER showed up, the guys stopped acting like a jackass. We talked about the NFL Today Hangover skit and Gio said COWHER was not a great actor. Jerry is here for another update and starts with the final TD as heard on Niners radio. Andy Reid talked about Travis KELCE getting in his face on the sideline early in the game. Boomer said that did not look good on the sideline. Chris Jones of the Chiefs talked about being prepared for the new overtime rules. Brock Purdy talked about the Chiefs offense and how you can't let Mahomes hang around. Phil Simms' pick before the game was very confusing. Rex Ryan disputed Adam Schefter's story about the Cowboys hiring Mike Zimmer as defensive coordinator. In the final segment of the hour, the Brock Purdy questions have been answered. He played well enough to cement himself as their quarterback. Purdy has a great contract which favors the Niners. The McCaffrey fumble on the first drive set the tone for the game. But if the Niners won, McCaffrey would have been the MVP with the combined rushing and receiving yardage. In the final segment of the hour, Gio said today will be a big Mahomes ass kissing day, well deserved of course. Jordan, Kobe, Brady and now Mahomes. Boomer has some Mahomes stats for us.

Hour 1 The Chiefs are now in the middle of a dynasty after beating the Niners. Patrick Mahomes stuck a dagger right into the hearts of Niners fans and Kyle SHANAHAN. Gio said he's lost his identity being out in Las Vegas for so long. We all loved Usher's halftime show. The Niners defense was flying around which kept it low scoring the first three quarters. Boomer said nobody is playing quarterback like Mahomes right now. He can always find a way. Boomer said if he won the coin toss in overtime, he would have deferred instead of taking the ball like SHANAHAN did. The Chiefs did not score a lot of points in the playoffs but managed to get through everybody. Jerry is here for his first update of the day, but first we're concerned about this snow storm back at home. We have not been paying attention while here in Vegas. Jerry has the game winning TD as called by Kevin Harlan. Some of the players seemed confused by the playoff overtime rules. Kyle SHANAHAN talked about his decision to take the ball in OT instead of deferring. Mahomes wants a three-peat next year. Ochocinco was going to give up eating McDonalds, get a divorce and give up sex if the Chiefs lost. In the final segment of the hour, Al said he was sitting with riff raff and couldn't believe people paid that much for tickets. Taylor Swift was in a box and was seen talking to Roger GOODELL. Boomer thinks this will be the highest rated Super Bowl ever.  Hour 2 Gio, Al and Eddie went to the NFL tailgate and Gwen Stefani performed. Gio also detailed our exit out of the stadium where an angel from heaven helped us get from one hotel to a parking lot to get picked up. Stephen Waldron of CBS Sports has a lot of nervous energy in public, and it was on full display when he golfed with us. Stephen also does a cough thing to release nervous energy when things get awkward. Jerry is back for another update and starts with Jim NANTZ'S call of the game winning TD by the Chiefs. Mecole Hardman said he blacked out after making the catch. Travis KELCE sang Viva Las Vegas after the game. Mahomes won the MVP again. Kyle SHANAHAN explained why he took the ball first in overtime. Kevin Harlan does play by play of the streaker running on the field. Tony ROMO made a Hulk Hogan reference and sang Adele into break. The Waste Management in Phoenix was a drunken mess with hecklers fighting with golfers. In the final segment of the hour, Gio was on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown with Randy Moss to discuss Al booking the other Randy Moss.  Hour 3 Right now there are way too many people involved in our luggage getting to the airport. Boomer tells a story about coming back to the hotel last night, and only one elevator was working. There was a guy screaming about how the Chiefs suck and how Taylor Swift sucks. When Coach COWHER showed up, the guys stopped acting like a jackass. We talked about the NFL Today Hangover skit and Gio said COWHER was not a great actor. Jerry is here for another update and starts with the final TD as heard on Niners radio. Andy Reid talked about Travis KELCE getting in his face on the sideline early in the game.

He played well enough to cement himself as their quarterback. Purdy has a great contract which favors the Niners. The McCaffrey fumble on the first drive set the tone for the game. But if the Niners won, McCaffrey would have been the MVP with the combined rushing and receiving yardage.  Hour 4 Gio said today will be a big Mahomes ass kissing day, well deserved of course. Jordan, Kobe, Brady and now Mahomes. Boomer has some Mahomes stats for us. Boomer compares the careers of Mahomes and Jordan. Gio went to a LIV golf tournament. He enjoyed it, but said he couldn't take it seriously. Jerry is here for his final update of the day but first we talked about how great of a Super Bowl city Vegas was. Jerry starts with the winning TD as heard on Chiefs radio (they were excited). Mahomes is talking about a three-peat for next season. Mecole Hardman explained the play that resulted in the game winning TD. Andy Reid talked about KELCE getting in his face and bumping him on the sideline. KELCE also did some Viva Las Vegas after the game. SHANAHAN talked about the analytics that made him decide to take the ball in OT. Gio was on ESPN on Sunday with Randy Moss to talk about Al booking the wrong Randy Moss for the show. Moment of The Day involves CBS Sports producer Stephen Waldron's anxiety on the golf course. In the final segment of the show, Jerry provides some final thoughts on the week in Vegas, Super Bowl and Chiefs dynasty as Boomer, Gio, Al and Eddie leave early for the airport.

How did a game between the Vikings and Cardinals result in two Super Bowls for the Steelers? How did a collision between Ken Caminiti and an Atlanta catcher destroy the Pirates? How did a Joe Montana injury lead to Bill Cowher coming to Pittsburgh? This week we will talk about several instances of the “butterfly effect”, where events that seemingly had nothing to do with Pittsburgh teams ended up drastically altering the course of Pittsburgh sports history.Find great Pittsburgh sports gear and support the show with Fanatics Pittsburgh MerchConnect with the show:Visit us on the webFollow us on TwitterFollow us on Facebook

Sports with Rod 1-30-2024 ...Mess with Coach Cowher and Nate Burleson will F you up

Hour 1 The Super Bowl matchup is set between the Chiefs and Niners. Chiefs/Ravens was an incredible physical game. Gio swore he would never bet against Mahomes again, and yet he took the Ravens. Mahomes is the undisputed king. He is impossible to topple. He's like a surgeon. Lamar Jackson threw a terrible pick in the end zone in the fourth quarter. Travis Kelce had his best game ever. Gio said Patrick Mahomes made Travis Kelce and Andy Reid immortal. The Ravens had a ton of terrible penalties which killed them. The Lions twice went for it on 4th down and failed, when they could have gone for field goals. Jerry is here for his first update and starts with the audio of Zay Flowers fumbling at the goal line resulting in a touchback. Mahomes talked about all the big plays from Kelce. John Harbaugh said he told the team to walk out of the stadium with their heads held high. Lamar Jackson talked about the turnovers. Jerry also has audio from the Niners win over the Lions and the Brandon Aiyuk catch off the Lions' defender's helmet. Christian McCaffrey talked about the elite Brock Purdy. Dan Campbell talked about the disappointment of losing to the Niners. In the final segment of the hour, SNL did a skit about the NFL Today but left out Boomer. And why did the lights go out on CBS during the halftime show? Boomer was told somebody tripped over a wire and pulled it out of the socket.  Hour 2 Unfortunately Boomer did not run into Taylor Swift in Baltimore. Boomer did run into Jim Harbaugh and told Boomer he hears his sports minutes sometimes. Boomer said there was a tense moment at the train station last night leaving Baltimore on the Amtrak Acela. There was one ‘asswipe douchebag' who approached Boomer, Nate and Cowher. He was telling them the NFL is rigged. Coach Cowher was getting into it with the guy. Then Nate started getting into it with the guy as well. And then Amtrak ran out of alcohol. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from the Lions/Niners game. Kyle Shanahan talked about the difference between the first and second half. Dan Campbell talked about going for it instead of kicking field goals, and failing. Ian Eagle had the call of the Lamar Jackson interception in the endzone. Andy Reid talked about the Chiefs defense being outstanding. In the final segment of the hour, Kadarius Toney took to social media to say he was not injured, despite what the Chiefs said. He went on Instagram live to say these things. And he cursed a lot. Boomer wonders why Gio is fascinated with Kadarius.  Hour 3 Boomer wonders if Travis Kelce will propose to Taylor Swift if they win the Super Bowl. Gio thinks CBS would pay for the private plane to get her there from Tokyo. We talked about Usher being the halftime show and who the special guests could be (not Taylor Swift). We also talked about the early spread in the Super Bowl. We talked about the disparity in paychecks between Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the Super Bowl halftime show with Katy Perry and the left shark that wasn't dancing properly. Jerry has audio from the very unfunny SNL skit involving the NFL Today. Jerry has audio from the Niners win over the Lions as San Francisco scored 27 straight points. Nick Bosa talked about being embarrassed by the halftime score. The Chiefs won in Baltimore and Patrick Mahomes said they're not done yet. Julius Randle dislocated his shoulder over the weekend. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the differences between Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes.  Hour 4 We talked about Usher doing the halftime show and Boomer wondered if Usher requested Taylor Swift to join him. Boomer then said he knows that he (Boomer) is obsessed with the Taylor Swift stuff. Gio said Patrick Mahomes is responsible for Andy Reid being a great coach and Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift. He put them both right in the Hall of Fame. Without Mahomes, Kelce would just be a regular tight end. Jerry returned for an update but first Boomer invited us to a watch event in Vegas where we have to wear nice clothes. Jerry has all the sounds from the Chiefs/Ravens game including Lamar Jackson, who talked about the turnovers they had in key spots. Dan Campbell talked about being crushed by the loss. Jalen Brunson talked about Julius Randle's shoulder injury. The Moment of The Day involves the NFL Today guys in an altercation at the Baltimore train station. In the final segment of the show, we talked about Boomer's altercation in the Baltimore train station. Eddie then talked about coming to work during the riots of 2020. Boomer also told a story of going to a high school in Bayonne, NJ to see Jay Glazer's first MMA fight.

Unfortunately Boomer did not run into Taylor Swift in Baltimore. Boomer did run into Jim Harbaugh and told Boomer he hears his sports minutes sometimes. Boomer said there was a tense moment at the train station last night leaving Baltimore on the Amtrak Acela. There was one ‘asswipe douchebag' who approached Boomer, Nate and Cowher. He was telling them the NFL is rigged. Coach Cowher was getting into it with the guy. Then Nate started getting into it with the guy as well. And then Amtrak ran out of alcohol. Jerry returns for an update and starts with the sounds from the Lions/Niners game. Kyle Shanahan talked about the difference between the first and second half. Dan Campbell talked about going for it instead of kicking field goals, and failing. Ian Eagle had the call of the Lamar Jackson interception in the endzone. Andy Reid talked about the Chiefs defense being outstanding. In the final segment of the hour, Kadarius Toney took to social media to say he was not injured, despite what the Chiefs said. He went on Instagram live to say these things. And he cursed a lot. Boomer wonders why Gio is fascinated with Kadarius.

(Hour 3 with Cook and Joe) It's a Wheel of Ball! Penguins, Joe Montana, Pitt Men's basketball, and more.  Bill Cowher had a different opinion on the worst loss he had as head coach of the Steelers. The conference championship against San Diego or Dallas in the Super Bowl? Chad Brown says it was the Super Bowl loss however Cowher says it was the Chargers loss that was worse. 

Former Steeler Chad Browns calls in to discuss the AFC and NFC Championship games, on the feeling of a Super Bowl loss, the Steelers dancing video, Brock Purdy, DPOY voting and the narrative, his thoughts on Dan Rooney, Bill Cowher, and Bill Belichick.

Boomer & Gio have a chalk talk event with Bill Cowher at Teller's tomorrow night. The town is abuzz with talk of Cowher maybe stopping by the Portly Villager beforehand. A caller wants us to have billboards for the show. Another caller said Lil' Dicky was at the Lakers game when he was supposed to be talking to Gio. Another caller wants Jeff Van Gundy to coach the Nets. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Billy Joel releasing a new song on February 1. Billy Joel's house is for sale for $49 million. We remembered the virtual Boomer & Gio BBQ we gave away during covid. Jerry starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in what felt like a Knicks home game in Brooklyn. The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin and it's looking like Doc Rivers will replace him. Jerry has clips from the Kelce brothers podcast and Jason's wife asked him to behave in front of Taylor Swift. John Harbaugh wants the fans to be loud. Is Belichick to the Falcons gaining or losing momentum? In the final segment of the hour, reports are the Chargers are within striking distance of signing Jim Harbaugh. The thing that could be holding up Belichick to the Falcons could be how much of the staff and front office Belichick wants to blow out.

Hour 1 Gio had a ‘perma-smile' on his face watching the Knicks beat the Nets at what felt like a Knicks home game in Brooklyn. The Milwaukee Bucks fired their head coach Adrian Griffin, even though they were 30-13. Their defense has not been very good and they wanted a veteran coach so they are bringing in Doc Rivers. We are seeing the best version of Julius Randle right now and it's all thanks to Jalen Brunson. Gio was invited by the afternoon show to go to last night's game but his wife is sick so he had to stay home. He would have loved to see the Nets lose while sitting next to Evan Roberts. Jerry is here for his first update and wants the Nets to move someplace where people will care about them. Jerry was disgusted by their performance. Jerry is annoyed by Boomer's hatred of the Nets. Boomer said if he's on the air for another 17 years, by then the Nets will be extinct. Jerry has the sound from last night's battle in Brooklyn. Shannon Sharpe to Ochocinco: ‘that's why your head looks like shaved monkey nuts'. In the final segment of the hour, Ochocinco used to call Marvin Lewis in the middle of the night just to say ‘I'm open' and then he would hang up. Gio tells the story of an obese woman who bought 2 seats on the plane and another passenger wanted to put her baby there.  Hour 2 Sauce Gardner wants Calvin Ridley and Tee Higgins on the Jets. At least that's what he said on Twitter. I wonder how that will sit with the wide receivers in the locker room. Boomer said it creates unnecessary drama. The Giants need playmakers, and a lot of them. What will the Giants do with their pick at 6? There are rumors that Tyreek Hill filed for divorce after just 76 days. He claims it's not true, but public records say it is. Boomer wonders if Tyreek is turning into Antonio Brown. Jerry returns for another update and starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in Brooklyn. The Milwaukee Bucks fired their head coach, Adrian Griffin, and Doc Rivers is expected to take over. Stephen A. Smith was on with Howard Stern and he wants to debate Donald Trump. Chris Russo talked about ‘wee wee's in the middle of the night'. Aaron Boone was on with Evan and Tiki yesterday. He wants Giancarlo Stanton to change his body type. In the final segment of the hour, Gio went through a lot of trouble to be able to do the Lil' Dicky Show for somebody at Audacy, and it was canceled at the last minute.  Hour 3 Boomer & Gio have a chalk talk event with Bill Cowher at Teller's tomorrow night. The town is abuzz with talk of Cowher maybe stopping by the Portly Villager beforehand. A caller wants us to have billboards for the show. Another caller said Lil' Dicky was at the Lakers game when he was supposed to be talking to Gio. Another caller wants Jeff Van Gundy to coach the Nets. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Billy Joel releasing a new song on February 1. Billy Joel's house is for sale for $49 million. We remembered the virtual Boomer & Gio BBQ we gave away during covid. Jerry starts with the Knicks beating the Nets in what felt like a Knicks home game in Brooklyn. The Bucks fired Adrian Griffin and it's looking like Doc Rivers will replace him. Jerry has clips from the Kelce brothers podcast and Jason's wife asked him to behave in front of Taylor Swift. John Harbaugh wants the fans to be loud. Is Belichick to the Falcons gaining or losing momentum? In the final segment of the hour, reports are the Chargers are within striking distance of signing Jim Harbaugh. The thing that could be holding up Belichick to the Falcons could be how much of the staff and front office Belichick wants to blow out.  Hour 4 Last night the Knicks beat the Nets and it felt like a home game for the Knicks in Brooklyn. Gio loves the rivalry now because it's dominated by the Knicks, after Nets fans got cocky when they got Kevin Durant a few years back. This is always going to be a Knicks town. Has to be 95% Knicks fans and 5% Nets around here. The Knicks have made regular season basketball exciting again. And they're doing it consistently. We then talked about the times when Gio would go to the NFL draft when it was in NYC. Jerry is here for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Knicks beating the Nets in Brooklyn. Aaron Boone was on with Evan and Tiki and he talked about Giancarlo Stanton's body composition. He was also asked about Brian Cashman's rant where he was dropping F-bombs. We also talked about how cool it must be to be Boomer at WFAN. The Moment of The Day involves Stephen A. Smith's wanting to debate Donald Trump. In the final segment of the show, there's an odd story out of Kansas City where friends were watching the Chiefs game. Some went outside and died, maybe due to the cold. The guy who lived there was sleeping on his couch for 2 days before realizing his friends were dead outside. We also took a call about Jalen Brunson and the Knicks

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we're going to go through some pretty wild current event topics, including the fact that the World Economic Forum in their meeting in Davos has decided that it is now bad for the environment for you to drink. Coffee. Could you imagine that? Flying hundreds of miles across the ocean in your private jet, only to talk about how it is now bad for the environment for you to drink coffee. So we'll touch on that. After that, we'll get into a conversation surrounding how scientists in China have now successfully cloned a monkey for the first time that has survived in good health.  We'll talk about what that means, including the fact that there was 112 failed attempts,  which is only, you know, pretty terrifying to think about. What the other monkeys went through to actually get there. Now, a lot of people are talking about how this is actually going to have something to do with human cloning, obviously, because that's the end result of all of this. And there's some arguments that that's already happening. So we will talk about that. Then we will dive into a conversation about the current situations between Rhonda Santus dropping out of the presidential election, Nikki Haley getting peppered and just chirped. Constantly at all of the events that she's at, including the fact that, uh, there was a recent article that talked about how she had an affidavit come out from a recent accuser of her being an adulterer, uh, to her then active duty husband. Uh, we will also touch on another man who starts discussing with her about how she's not going to be Trump and that she should be spending all of her hundreds of millions of dollars simply. Giving it to homeless veterans, which I guess I agree with. Uh, so we'll talk about Nikki Haley. We'll even talk about the fact that Nikki Haley said that she wasn't allowed in a beauty pageant because she was Indian because they didn't know where to place her, which is pretty comical. All right. So that will be our current events. Then we will dive into the deep dive conversation this week, which is going to be the dark psychology behind voting. Now, that will include a conversation surrounding, uh, political socialization, which is basically the idea of how you got to vote the way that you vote. Now, we all tend to think that we think for ourselves, but a lot of people don't understand the fact that there's a lot of circumstances that actually go into  why you vote the way that you do.  So, we'll talk about all that. And there's some pretty surprising things in that that I found when doing my research. Anything from the music you listen to, to the social media apps that you use consistently, all the way down to the  income class and the city that you grew up in. There's, there's so many little different things in here. And then we'll talk about some different dark arts techniques that politicians use in order to try to gain your  So all of that and more stick around the longer you stick around, the deeper we get. So go ahead and subscribe, leave a five star review, whether you're on Apple podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, you can join us on YouTube, by the way. Uh, if you go onto YouTube, type in the Adams archive, you can see all the articles, all the videos that we're discussing here, and I will see you there, but let's. Jump into it.  The Adams archive.  All right, let's jump into it. The very first topic that we're going to be discussing today is going to be that the world economic forum. If you don't know the world economic forum is a meeting of a bunch of. Elites or multibillionaires that think that they can control the general population. They meet once a year in Davos in Switzerland and their fearless leader is the infamous Claus Schwab. And so they got together this year and decided that the hot topic that they were going to discuss is the fact that it is now bad for our environment for you to drink. Coffee,  like I said earlier, they fly hundreds of thousands, thousands of miles to get there in their private jets, just to tell you that you shouldn't be drinking coffee all the while they're the ones who are, I don't know, profiting from your extra, uh, ability to actually do things in the morning as a result. So we have a video here, um, this comes from, uh, let's see, the title of this article is coffee is bad for the environment claims world economic. Members,  and it says the consumption of coffee is causing CO2 to populate the earth to pollute the environment and unelected bureaucrats Attending the World Economic Forum claimed speaking last Wednesday at the globalist Confab in Davos, Switzerland Swiss banker Hubert Keller said coffee drinkers should be mindful They're contributing tons of co2 pollution into the atmosphere  Hmm.  Basically, the coffee that we all drink emits between 15 and 20 tons of CO2 per ton of coffee, Cowher said. So, we should all know that. This is, every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the environment. Could you imagine? And one of the reasons is because most of the coffee plantations and most of the coffee is produced through monoculture, and monoculture is also affected by climate change.  Now at this meeting, they are the very biggest topic this year. So you can actually go to the world economic forums website and you can look at, they do a analysis of what are the biggest threats to the world each and every year,  and lo and behold, this year's was. Climate change.  Hmm.  Now, that's obviously the next big money grab after the end of COVID 19. Now, that's to be determined, I guess, when you have the variant X that's coming up and all that stuff. Um, but climate change is obviously the biggest money grab. And so when we look at conversations surrounding them trying to, I don't know, condemn you for drinking coffee.  Just is unbelievable to me. Um, so this is, uh, this is the video. It comes from that Swiss banker and his name is  who cares? Here we go.  For the session and you raised the coffee example. I'd love just to give you the chance to Basically, the coffee that we all drink, um, emits between 15 and 20 ton of CO2 per ton of coffee. So, we should all know that. This is every time we drink coffee, we are basically putting CO2 into the atmosphere.  Um, the other, and one of the reasons is because most of the coffee plantation, or most of the coffee is produced through monoculture.  And, um, and, and monoculture is also affected by climate change. Um, the quality of these nature assets is, uh, deteriorating quite rapidly.  Now that's a conversation for another day is like, what is monoculture, uh, monoculture agriculture is, it is absolutely, uh, a completely ineffective way to, to do things and it actually poisons your food there. There's a whole bunch of our stuff that you can read up on monoculture, um, agriculture, but. Just the idea that all of these pompous assholes go meet up in some mountain somewhere to tell you that you shouldn't drink coffee is absolutely comical. Alright, that brings us to our next article, which says that, uh, this comes from, uh, the Telegraph. And this was something that came across, I had actually like a, a, a notice on my phone about this. And I, I've talked about some of these things before, whether it be the, uh, chimeras that were coming out of China. Whether it was the sheep that was cloned, whether it was like the baby pods that they were talking about, uh, you know, basically taking, uh, the sperm of the father and the egg of the mother and putting it in this like pod that they were going to grow a human out of. Um, and then more recently even creating children from stem cells, which is the most probably dystopian of all of this, but this is just along those lines. And so.  In China, they cloned a monkey for the first time that survived in good health after 112 failed attempts. Now it says that Chinese scientists used the same method that made Dolly the sheep in 1996, uh, but it has lived longer than any other cloned primate. Now they, they, I think that they gave this thing a name, this one, not Dolly. I think it's called Retro.  Yeah, that's the monkey's name. The cloned monkey's name is Retro. A monkey has been successfully cloned by Chinese scientists and in the world's first has so far lived for two years. Researchers have cloned primates before using the same method that created Dowie the sheep in 1996, but none have. Ever lived for long, either dying before birth or shortly afterwards. Now that was a conversation that I brought up last time, when we're talking about the human baby pods and you know, the, the human cloning is like, how many times are you going to go through this, whether it's the stem cell research, whatever it is. How many research subjects, the chimeras  fill in the blank. How many research subjects do you have to go through until you successfully create a clone? Right. And they say 112. I'm sure they would rather not have, have people. You know, beating down their door to shut them down. So I'm, I'm sure that number is multiples higher than what they're reporting there. Just like I'm sure it would be if they started to clone humans, if they started these little weird baby pods, if they made these stem cell babies, chimeras, whatever it is, there's going to be a massive amount of casualties and gross scientific experimentation that goes into it. So to me. Anything and everything that revolves creating life that doesn't have to do with, you know, any scientist that's sitting there with a, you know, two beakers pouring them together or whatever the hell type of stuff they're doing here, um, is just sick. It's, it's, it's sickening to me because the, the, the torture that they put these, you know, even the two days of the trying to clone, uh, these monkeys or the, the chimeras or whatever it is, is just the, the amount of agony and the, the torture that they must go through, uh, as a result of getting this one cloned monkey. And, and, and for what reason, like what, what is the goal of this? Why, why, what is the problem that we have to start cloning things? What is wrong with reproduction current state?  Well, I'll tell you what's wrong with that. You want to get deeper and deeper into that is, is you'll understand the idea that they don't want you and then this was something that I talked about with the baby pods. What's the most concerning to that to me is that that's no longer your property, you, you, you know, you remove the mother and the father from, from the reproductive process. Then you remove the, the hormones that are released when that baby is born. And as a result, you, you remove the protective shelter, the, the, the hormones, the, the, uh, um, You know, the motherly instincts that come as a result of birthing a child, that come as a result of having a child that is half your DNA and half the DNA of your spouse. Now you, I don't know, go to a government center and pay five grand or whatever, and now they get to create a baby on your behalf. Only by the way, it's not your baby. It's their property. They created it. You did not create it. And, and so that is one of the most Dystopian ideas let alone the idea that they can start to interject whatever types of CRISPR technology that they want to to make the the child the the Monkey, whatever it is more agreeable more likely to be and this will actually even lead us into our next conversation To be more agreeable to be less aggressive to have different in more  More  Uh, personality traits that are going to lead them to vote a certain way, that are going to lead them to act a certain way, that are going to lead them to be less or more docile and less likely to revolt, whatever it is, when you, when you take reproduction, and you give that to the government,  right, you have China now cloning monkeys, for what end? I don't think they just want to clone monkeys. That's obviously not the goal. The goal is to clone humans. But why?  Why?  So let's, let's finish this article. It says, however, a modified technique designed to create a stronger placenta has seen a rhesus monkey be cloned,  be born and live healthily for more than two years, making it the longest lived primate clone yet. The animal was labeled retro. Only one birth was successful from a total of 113 attempts.  So, they tortured a hundred and twelve monkeys to create one.  The process, called somatic cell nuclear transfer, involves extracting the genetic information from a standard cell and implanting it into an egg from another monkey that has had its own genetic material removed.  Now they have this cute little diagram  of  how they cloned this monkey, um, but who cares? To me, that's the whole conversation, right?  I think that, you know, even brings up an interesting conversation about surrogacy and, uh, you know, IVF and like, there's, there's definitely more to be talked about there, but I do think to me, this is highly concerning because you see exactly where this is going. We know what the end goal is,  but why is that the end goal? Because we can, and I think that's probably the fair answer to all of these scientists, right? It's like the people who are commissioning these scientists to do these types of experiments. They have the goal in mind, right? They, they have an idea of what, what they want to do this for. And it's going to be profitable,  right? It's going to be a reason that they can make money off of it. Right? And that, that was the baby pods, right? Like imagine Epstein Island having a whole lower layer, uh, underneath his island of baby pods. Like just, just all of the horrific things. And if you haven't heard of like the.  Um, offshore, like, child trafficking stuff is just horrific, and, and they don't have social security numbers, they don't have moms, they don't have dads, nobody's looking after them, and, and, and, just,  there's no reason to open up this box, there's nothing good behind it, absolutely nothing, what, what possibly could come from this that would be good, and then you get into the, the, um,  Philosophical conversations. Does, does this monkey have, or human down the road, does it have a soul? Is it, is it, uh, you know, is it from a religious perspective? Is it, is it a child of God? Is it, is it something that is going to, uh, have similar traits even? Is it going to be sociable? Like, there, there's so much that will go into this. And, and just Why? Why do you want to do this? Right? But scientists want to do it because A, they're getting paid lots of money to do it, but also B, because they just want to see if they can do it, right? Scientists have a certain type of personality where they, they just want to see if they can make something happen, right? You have a hypothesis, you put it to the test, and all of a sudden you're creating an army of Lifeless, soulless, monkey human hybrids.  To me, there's just, there's nothing good behind that wall. And this is just another step towards that. Another step towards whatever it is the reason, right? There's so many different ways that you could go with that, that is completely dystopian. And I can't think of a single good scenario that would come from Human cloning. I just can't. I, I, there's, there's zero, zero scenarios where that's a good thing for humanity. Especially in a world where they're telling us that we're overpopulating, when we're obviously not. The population's on a decline.  If, if we're overpopulating on our own and reproducing  way too much, according to them,  why are you trying to clone humans? What's, what's the point of that  anyways. So let's segue into our next conversation. This one is more recent and about politics and what that drives us from the last conversation into, and what I mentioned earlier is they can change with CRISPR technology, how. You might vote by changing certain personality traits. They make you a little bit less aggressive. They make you a little bit more agreeable. They make you a little bit more creative. And a little bit less, I don't know, uh, productive, whatever it is. There's so many little traits within your genes that are encoded inside of your body. And one thing that I was wondering is what is nature and what is nurture, right? Why do we vote the way that we vote? And do we Um, and I say we just like  Americans do, are we born likely to vote one way or the other? The answer is yes. Um, and we'll look at that in just a minute as to why, but before we do that, let's get a little bit of election updates because Ron DeSantis has officially dropped out  of the presidential race and decided to endorse. Donald Trump,  and this comes from W. M. U. R. nine A. B. C. And it says, uh, it is clear to me that majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance. You think  I, uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure he just obliterated every single person, uh, within the primary, um, in the caucus in Iowa. And so, you know, he saw the vague drop out almost almost immediately. We saw it. Ron DeSantis drop out almost immediately. And I think the Ron DeSantis hype train was like pretty good at the beginning. I would, it would be really interesting to look at the political marketing failure that was Ron DeSantis campaign, because he had so much political steam. He had, he had so many people behind him that were so pro Ron DeSantis that loved his ideas coming out of COVID. He was like the COVID king. You know, all the while, while Donald Trump being, you know, was getting flack, was, was being talked down upon for the way that he, you know, gave a medal to, to Fauci, the way that he, you know, boasted about lockdowns and certain things like that is, is, and so simultaneously, Ron DeSantis should have come out of this, like with a ton of steam, with a ton of, uh, you know, traction going into the election, and, and now what we see is that it, as soon as Ron DeSantis opened his mouth on a debate uh, stage, he just got obliterated. Even when we saw Gavin Newsom against Ron DeSantis and I'm not against Ron DeSantis. I think that again, his policies, that his track record during COVID was absolutely phenomenal. He was one of the only people speaking out one of the only people trying not to close down businesses. There's a lot of reasons that a lot of people should have been very pro DeSantis.  I think he shook the hornet's nest with Donald Trump. Right? And I think, you know, the  desanctimonious, uh, tagline stuck a little bit. Um, but, to me, it's like, he should have, had he came out on the debate stage the way that Vivek did, had he come out with the track record that he did and a great marketing campaign, there's no reason that he shouldn't be the only one left.  But out of all four people that were on the stage and on the ballot for the caucus, the only one that's left now besides the obvious of Donald Trump is Nikki Haley, which makes absolutely no sense to me at all. She is. 100 percent the Republican Hillary Clinton.  She, everything that comes out of her mouth is just a talking point from a war lobby. And  I haven't heard a single thing from her.  I think she had like one good. Exchange on the debate stage. But all I see from Nikki Haley is a a reoccurring talking point that is everything and anything that the lobbyists want. And you saw the one the one area that Donald Trump I think they said that he lost by one vote and I think that it was even changed that the fact that Um, he he actually ended up winning that area I'm not sure but there was out of a 90 or 100 99 of them were for Donald Trump and one of them was for Nikki Haley and by one vote So what you saw is the democrats in the areas that they were in where they could they actually went and voted in the GOP  caucus and voted for Nikki Haley,  so if  The Democrats want Nikki Haley,  then why would the Republicans, right? And if the war lobby wants Nikki Haley, then why would the Republicans?  And if every big money machine from, you know, I I'm, I'm just surprised she doesn't have a Pfizer tattoo on her arm, uh, that she's showing off to everybody, but you already see her pandering to the left.  So to me, it's, it's a little sad that the only two that we have left, because I do think that both Ron DeSantis and as much shit that I've talked about Vivek and, and all of the questions that I have about his history, whether it be about the Soros Foundation funding his, uh, his, his time at Yale, whether it be about his two years that he was on the world economic forums, young global leaders list only to, uh, tell them that, Hey, I didn't want that. Take that down. The only one that was inconvenient from him and he wasn't using it to, uh, get, it. seed round funding for his pharmaceutical startups. Um, so as much as, as much as I've talked bad about Vivek, Vivek or DeSantis are just absolutely a million times better up  potential candidates than Nikki Haley. So what that tells me, especially if you understand that her husband. Is, isn't some  tech mogul, right? He doesn't have billions of dollars. I'm not sure what her previous employment was, but I just doubt she has hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on one. I think it's New Hampshire, whatever. We're going to see a video where some guy goes and calls her out and says, Hey, you're going to spend a hundred million dollars campaigning against Donald Trump. And we already know you're going to lose. Why are you doing that? Why wouldn't you just go spend that money to help homeless veterans?  Well, the answer is that the political lobby is the one that's propping her up. That's where she's getting all of her money. The only reason that Nikki Haley is even relevant, the only reason she's standing on any of the stages she's standing on, is because she's literally has the, the war machine's hand and the pharmaceutical industry's hand up her ass telling her exactly what to say in every one of these exchanges.  And so it's, it's, It'll be interesting to see how long she sticks around. How long will they prop her up? Because I, there's absolutely zero chance. Like I bet you, if you go look at the, uh, betting books and you look at the odds of Nikki Haley winning the 2024 election is just.  Zero, you know, and if, and if there was any sort of reason, and I think this is something that Vivek said at one time or another that I talked about when he dropped out is the fact that, oh, well, they would never let Donald Trump actually, you know, get on the ballot. Something's going to happen. And, and.  I'm not saying something's not going to happen, this always could be that fact, and especially when you understand that Donald Trump is like one of the most, uh, contentious and hated people in the world to the most powerful people in the world, it's an absolute possibility that something not, not good happens, you know, he's been indicted for like the 115th time, um,  but the idea that Nikki Haley would be the one left in the running, and maybe that's their hope, I don't know, why would you spend a billion dollars to If there's a  1 percent chance, I don't know, maybe if you have hundreds of trillions of dollars like Raytheon, and uh, you know, Pfizer does, so, I don't know, it's very interesting. So there was a few conversations that came up about Nikki Haley. One of the ones that came up as a result was Nikki Haley made a comment. about her history growing up in the deep south, being brown.  Now,  I don't know about you, and maybe my eyes are deceiving me,  but to me, Nikki Haley  does not look brown. She looks like a white Suburban mother.  That's what she looks like. Now, she did grow up in a Indian family. I saw a picture of her family the other day, and her dad was in some traditional type Indian garb. And, um,  you know, but she, you know, if white privilege was a real thing, Nikki Haley would have it.  Not saying that it's a real thing.  But.  Here, here it is. Here comes Nikki Haley saying that she was, she was teased every day for being brown while in the deep south and that she has black friends.  Here we go.  We were the only Indian family in our small southern town.  I was teased every day for being brown.  So anyone that wants to question it can go back and look at what I've said on how hard it was to grow up in the deep south. As a brown girl, anybody can look at my record and see when Walter Scott was shot down by a dirty cop, how I made sure that the Walter Scott family didn't suffer because we put the first body camera bill in the country in place. Anybody can look at the fact that when we had nine amazing souls die in Mother Emanuel Church, I did something that no Republican or Democrat ever wanted to touch, which was call for the Confederate flag to come down because it would take two thirds of the House and Senate and was an impossible feat.  I don't know what you're implying with that, but what I will tell you is, saying that I had black friends is a source of pride. Saying that I had white friends is a source of pride. If you want to know what it was like growing up, I was disqualified from a beauty pageant because I wasn't white or black. Because they didn't know where to put me. So look, I know.  So let me get this straight. Nikki Haley  was disqualified from a beauty pageant because they didn't know whether she was white  or she was black.  Now,  I don't know If my math's off, just like my eyes are off, apparently, because I don't see a  brown woman in the deep south, I see a  white privilege card holding, uh, you know, suburban mom, but Nikki Haley was born in like 1972, I think. And Nikki Haley would have been in a beauty pageant, let's say 16 years later, almost in 1990.  Right, let's say she was 15, would have been 90,  72, 87, right? Like,  was there segregated beauty pageants in 1987?  Cuz I think I'm missing something here and and even if there was  You think they're gonna have a white and a black category and then you're gonna be like, hey guys I would like to participate and then they would say, uh White black are you white? Are you?  Uh, you're disqualified, like, do you think how that that's really how that conversation went? Or do you think that Nikki Haley is a liar?  Because I think Nikki Haley is just a liar. And we see that further shown by her actions, which we will see here in just a second, against her husband, which allegedly.  And I say allegedly because it's just a signed affidavit, just a signed affidavit, which, you know, means that if the person was lying, they would potentially go to jail, but just a signed affidavit stating that she cheated on her husband while  he was, I believe, while he was active duty. If not mistaken, potentially even like deployed. I don't know if that's correct, but I know he was active duty at the time. Um, so we'll go ahead and read that article. And that to me, like if, if you are cheating on your spouse, right? Like your spouse is you're like, if you have everybody in your whole world, and there's one person that you are going to give. All of your trust to one person that you are going to be the most loyal to one person that you're going to Absolutely not do anything to hurt. It is your spouse, right? Like when you get into a Marriage you're doing it because  well for a lot of reasons But you're doing it because you want to be with that person for the rest of your life Now if I'm your best friend and we've been best friends for 10 years 15 years and you cheat on your wife  I know that if you're not loyal to her, you're not gonna be loyal to me  If I'm your business partner and I find out that you cheated on your wife,  I know that the first opportunity that you get to make a little bit of money that screws me and my business over, you're going to do it. So I'm not going to be your business partner and I'm not going to be your best friend.  I know  that if you find yourself in this situation and  you are also running for office, how can I trust you as a candidate?  Right? So to me, that like, that goes back to the idea  that if If somebody, Nikki Haley is absolutely bought and paid for, she's going to do the thing that is aligned with what is in her, her, not even her family's, not even her, her, her  immediate family, but her best interest, Nikki Haley's best interest.  So let's go ahead and read this. This comes from the Postmillennial, and it says Nikki Haley allegedly cheated on her husband with lobbyist and communications consultant prior to  South Carolina governorship.  Yikes.  Uh,  court documents have revealed that Nikki Haley did in fact cheat on her husband before becoming governor, and that one of her lovers was a married South Carolina lobbyist.  She was  Having an affair with a lobbyist.  So not only are you taking their money,  but you're also,  you know,  Haley repeatedly denied that she'd been unfaithful to her husband, Michael. When allegations first broke in 2010, they've been married for 28 years.  And have two children together. According to the Daily Mail, the aforementioned lobbyist, Larry Marchant, Jr. And Haley's communications consultant, Will Foulkes admitted in signed affidavits that they both, they had both on separate occasions had affairs with the then future government. So not one. But two people, both signed affidavits. In his affidavit, Marchant said that he and Haley had sexual intercourse during a conference in Salt Lake City in June of 20, or 2008. I came forward publicly on this matter only after being contacted by the press and after hearing Rep Haley claim that she had been 100 percent faithful to her husband in response to the folks allegations, when I knew her statements were absolutely false.  Yikes. Um, so that to me says a lot, right? And that's not to say that somebody can't change and somebody can't, you know, go through a, a, a transformation and become loyal again. And, you know, I get it. Like,  but that sounds pretty shady. stuff to me, right? And like I said, if you are going into that situation and you have your one person in life that is like, that's my guy, that's, that is my girl. That is, that is going to be the, the mother of my children, the father of my children, uh, whatever that is, if you can't find it within yourself. To  conduct yourself in a manner that would align yourself with that trust that would align yourself It's just how are you gonna run for office and and let alone just even talk about the optics of this That how easy is this for them to bring this up? Now that's not to say that every single person that's been on one of these debate stages Doesn't have a ton of skeletons in their closet, which they do  But  this is one of them  Right? And especially with like a lobbyist. It wasn't even like her personal trainer or something. I don't know.  All right. Um, now I did have one last thing that I wanted to touch on and this is about Donald Trump. Donald Trump sent out a statement on truth and it said a president of the United States must have full immunity.  Without which it would be impossible for him or her to properly function. Now I found this to be an interesting statement. The reason that I think this is an interesting statement is I kind of wanted to talk this through with you guys and see if I agree. And I don't think that I do. I don't think a president should have full immunity. I think that  what, what is the, like,  I believe that there are certain things that a president has to do. I think that the presidential role is inherently a criminal job. You have to.  Murder people  you have to you know engage with shady foreign entities You have to run the CIA and the FBI which just in and of itself is going to come with illegal illicit activities as they've shown a track record for for  you know, however long since the you know, 47 when the FBI was or the CIA was created  But to me, it's like how could I absolutely disagree with this? I don't think a president should have immunity I think that yes, the job would be hard If you didn't have immunity,  that's the job. You have to do it within the guidelines of legality, because if there's no, if a president can get into office and immediately become unhinged and have absolute full immunity for every action that they've ever taken,  then, then, then what's, what. What are we doing here? Like, you just get to murder people, you get with no repercussions, you have no barriers and guidelines to the way that you have to dictate your actions, you don't have to follow the Geneva Convention, like, what would make you think that the president should have full immunity? So, I'll continue his statement, give you the full context, but it says, Without much, it would be impossible for him or her to properly function. Any mistake, even if well intended, would be met with almost certain indictment by the opposing party at term's end.  I, I think in today's political landscape, that is true. That's what we're seeing here  is that Donald Trump has absolutely been a political witch hunt. Uh, you know, how, how many indictments does he have now? Like 30 or something. Um, how many states has he been indicted under? How many, how much of it is stuck? And really it's more about, to me, the precedence that this is going to set moving forward because then whoever gets out of office next time, same thing. Right. And so I understand the point. I understand the premise, but I just don't see how inaction that's an effective way to run a country. Is there any country that operates that way? Maybe Russia. Maybe Putin has like absolute immunity in North Korea and  China. But like, is that really what we're shooting for? Is North Korea, China, and China. Right.  You know, Russia's  type of, uh, you know, totalitarian regimes.  I don't think so. Um, even if well intended, would be met with almost certain indictment by the opposing party. Even events that cross the line, quote unquote, must fall under total immunity, or it would be years of trauma trying to determine good from bad. There must be certainty. Example, you can't stop police from doing the job of strong and effective crime, Trump said, prevention because you want to guard against the occasional rogue cop or bad apple.  You can't stop police from doing the job of strong and effective crime prevention. Uh, sometimes you just have to live with the great, but slightly imperfect. All presidents must have complete and total presidential immunity or the authority and decisiveness of a president of the United States will be stripped and gone forever. Hopefully this will be an easy decision. God bless the Supreme Court.  And this says, if anything, presidents and politicians should be held to a higher legal standard, not a lower legal standard. And I think that his, his example of police, uh, just kind of defeats his entire argument there. I just don't see how that holds true because if you give police absolute immunity.  Then they're just gonna, like, I think that cops, people who sign up to be police are inherently good people. I do. I wholeheartedly believe that. I believe they generally have good intentions. But I also believe if you take a big enough sample size of people that there's going to be, as he quotes in here, bad apples. And that doesn't allow you to Just randomly walk down the street and, you know, not follow the, the force escalation protocols that are called for being in the police force. You still have guidelines and those guidelines that police have are far more stringent. And, and they get indicted or they, they get perceived or prosecuted probably at a far higher rate than, than any political person ever  as a result. They literally have body cameras in the middle of their body that, that follows the every move. Right? Like, so, to me, the argument falls apart, and I think it's a little self serving. Um, again, I don't think Trump is going to be found guilty of anything, and I don't believe that he should be. But I also just don't think that the precedent of setting the example that the president just can absolutely do no wrong is a good one. I just think it's a false premise, and that it will cause something horrific to happen, just like if you gave police absolute immunity. Um, the people who hold the positions of power, You know, with great power comes great responsibility, right?  Spider Man.  It's like you, you have to inherently have a microscope on you. And the law has to be in place because without it, you could just turn it into a complete totalitarian regime. You could do whatever you wanted when you get, you could, and especially when you're determining, you know, the, you're the, the head of the entire largest, strongest military in all of history. So  to me. I just don't agree. Um, so now that we've properly set the stage of what is going on in our current political landscape, this is going to bring us to our deep dive of the week and the deep dive of the week is going to be on the dark psychology of voting and political socialization. So political socialization is the idea  that essentially all of the things that happen in your life, all of the people that you've come in contact with, all of the key moments of your childhood, a lot of it has an impact. on your voting and who you vote for and what political party you end up being a part of. Um, so we even have a video that I'll show you by Jordan Peterson, um, but let me walk you through this.  So again, this is the go ahead and pull this up here for you  says, um, so we're going to walk through this and there's a complex intersection of psychology and politics, and we're going to aim to unravel the intricate web of factors that influence our political decisions and voter behavior. Our focus is the profound and often understated role of political socialization in shaping party affiliation and political identity.  Now. Let's begin by understanding what is political socialization, right? Sounds pretty, uh, you know, political science y, like, college, uh, terms that you were supposed to memorize, and it probably was. Um, but it's an important thing to understand. Because you have to see the other, at some point, the divisiveness has to clear. And you have to see that just across the aisle way could have been you. Could have been your, your dad, could have been your mom, could have been your, you know, otherwise things devolve into, uh, you know,  what we saw in the revol or the, you know, things devolve into chaos and violence, right? So, so, I think this is an important conversation. I think it's just an interesting one anyways because there's so many small, minute points, whether it be  the music you listen to, all of those things that, that influence your voting behavior. Um, so, this process, which is political socialization. is which individuals form their political attitudes and beliefs. And it's not a fleeting phase, but a cornerstone in our political makeup. It begins early in life, influenced by various factors. Our families, our education, our peer groups, the media, and significant life events.  These elements do more than just mold our views. They embed deep seated political ideologies and preferences. Consider the family. Often the first and most influential agent in the process. The political discussions at the dinner table. The voting behavior of our parents. The political climate that we grew up in. These experiences lay the foundation for our political leadings. And as we grow, we get educated, and we have peer interactions. Those all come into play, introducing us to diverse perspectives and fostering critical thinking about political ideologies. Now you see with some children, right, some children just are going to do what their parents Raise them to do right. You're, you're in those, those political discussions. You have similar personality traits. You probably are similar in the idea of like aggressivity and passivity and creativity and all of these personality traits that align with your voting behavior.  So let's go ahead and jump into this. I'm going to pull up this video from Jordan Peterson and we can watch it together because I think it properly frames the entire conversation around this and I find it to be pretty interesting. So let me go ahead and pull this up for you and we will watch it  Political belief is determined in large part by temperament and personality, and that's very strongly biologically influenced. And so conservatives tend to be lower in openness, which is a trait associated with creativity, and higher in conscientiousness, which is a trait associated with industriousness and orderliness. They tend to make good managers and administrators and lawyers. They tend to make good conservative business types. That's, that's their forte, that's their niche, and that's a valid Place to be and a valid thing to be and you know Conservatives aren't so good at being entrepreneurial, and they're not so good at being artistic and creative. That's not their niche That's more the niche of the liberal end of the spectrum and as far as I'm concerned for the political system to function properly You need proper representation for all the temperamental types, and they need to be engaged in dialogue So but the thing is is that when the conservatives are saying well, you know especially when they're perhaps Thinking about leading the damn party, let's say, that they're worried about speaking their mind in a conservative manner. That's just not a good thing. That means that something's gone wrong with our political system, and seriously wrong. You know, and the other thing that, another thing that I've noticed it, thing, you know, when, when this all,  Some of you may know, and some of you may not know, that I made a couple of videos back September 27th. I woke up one night, because I couldn't sleep, and I thought, I usually go and write if I can't sleep, because I've got something to figure out. But I've been playing with YouTube videos. I've been putting my lectures online since 2013. And by last April, they had about a million views. And so, I thought, wow, that's, that's really something, man. You know, like, you write a book, and you sell a million copies, you're one happy character. And I thought, I'd A million views is a very large number of views. It really tuned me in to the fact that YouTube was something completely other than what I thought it was. But anyways, that night I thought, Oh,  I'll get up, I'll make a video instead of writing it down. So, okay, what else? Here's some things you might think about if you're a conservative.  These  I'll get up, I'll make a video instead of  These things have become  What would you say?  People are afraid to say them. Here's the first one. The fundamental assumptions of Western civilization are valid. How about that? You know, it's not  You think it's an accident? Oh, here's how you find out, okay? Which countries do people want to move away from? Hey, not ours. Which countries do people want to move to? Ours. Guess what? They work better. And it's not because we went around the world stealing everything we could get our hands on. It's because we got certain fundamental assumptions right. Thank God for that after thousands and thousands of years of trying and because of that we've managed to establish a set of Civilizations that are shining lights in the world, you know now  so we said two interesting things which he talked about is  tray openness Right, which leads to creativity. And, uh, you know, and so when you think of all the main personality types, and Jordan Peterson has a really tremendous, um,  personality test that you can actually go take online, I think it's like 6, it'll ask you like 300 questions, and it'll give you a score  on your agreeableness on your openness on your, uh, all of these different, you know, traits, it's like the The, I forget the number of them, but there's, there's essential traits that build your personality profile. And so if you understand that what splits the party divide is essentially to me at a certain stage of the conversation is  personality traits. Right. If you're more creative and you're more quote unquote open, you tend to align on the left side. He even mentioned entrepreneurial being more liberal traits. And you see that when it comes to like Silicon Valley and startups and, you know.  The reason for that, and he talks about the people who are conservative being better managers, they're more structured, they're less creative. But the best and most creative ideas that do well in a startup environment are wild ideas that everybody will tell you are generally terrible. Alright, take Airbnb, for example. Hey, let everybody crash at your house for a night and, you know, you charge them money and then you come back and your house will still be there. It's like, eh. That's kind of a weird idea. I don't, I don't think I'm going to, I don't think I'm going to do that. Or Uber, right? I, I think you should press a button on your phone and then some random guy will show up and you should jump in his car and it'll take you somewhere. It's like, I don't think that's a good idea either, but they worked and they were crazy ideas. They were creative ideas and they were at the right time. And it just so happens that much of the startup space trends. liberal and, and, uh, Democrat as a result.  And much of the higher levels, the C suite of organizations and the, uh, high level managers and the people who actually run the operations of the business tend to be more conservative. And the reason for that is because they're much more structured in their thinking. They, they tend to abide by, you know, uh, rule sets that tend to make things move along. If you're, if you're hyper creative, you can get.  And you get too far out there and now you can't create a successful business. So the, the, the ideal world is you have a large amount of creativity and you can borrow  some structural foundations to, to properly execute and build a idea into something that's great. Like all of the great foundational leaders. And you think of Steve jobs, highly creative. You think of, uh, Jeff Bezos, highly creative.  I don't know if Jeff Bezos would be a liberal per se, but, um, but  they were able to borrow from both sides. They weren't hyper one side. They weren't hyper the other. And so what we're basically looking at when we're voting  into a certain level, cause there's critical thinking and people who change their minds, but to a certain level, I would be really interested in maybe this is something that we can find out is what percentage of people  change. their voting registration from Democrat to Republican. And this is, let's, let's go ahead and find it out. I bet you there's been an answer. So let's go to chat GPT. And I will ask it for us.  Because I yeah, to me, it's like we're almost looking at a spectrum of personality, when you look at the spectrum of political affiliation. And, you know, there will be creative people who Vote conservative, and there will be highly, uh, structured and, uh, Structured people with, with low trait openness and high trait, uh, or low trait agreeableness. You know, I tend to, I was in the 1th percentile of disagree, of agreeableness. Meaning if there's a hundred people in the room, I'm the most disagreeable person in the room.  Who would have thought? Um, I, I would, I, but, uh, surprisingly  Not surprisingly, if you know me, but I'm generally a very creative person. I have a lot of ideas. I'm very entrepreneurial So my openness and creativity was was fairly high So I'm kind of a unique hybrid human  But  I think that that it's interesting to think that through and determine, you know How much of it is personality and genetics, right? So, let's see what percentage  of people  change from liberal to democrat  and vice versa  in their lifetime.  And what  age  does this generally Right? And there's the, there's the old quote is I'll show you a, a, a young Republican and I'll show you a man without a heart and I'll show you an old Democrat and I'll show you a man without a brain. That's the old school. Uh, that's the, because a lot of people trend more liberal when they're young and a lot of people trend more conservative as they get older.  Some would say wiser, uh, but  let's see what it says here. It says determining the exact percentage of people who changed their political affiliations. Um,  It's challenging. Several factors contribute to this complexity. Don't care. Don't care. Don't care. Um,  let's see,  give a percentage cause it doesn't want to.  But that's why you see the hyper, uh, successful small startups into Facebooks and Twitters and all this stuff trend, very liberal because in going to these ecosystems very liberal because well one, um, that the person starting that company is generally very creative. And two, the people Operating that company are generally in the tech space and and you're going to see people who are Um more introverted who have certain personality traits that are more creative that are going to find themselves in those coding type environments Um, so again another interesting one Uh, so  I don't think it's going to give us a number here, but it says the terms live. Okay. Don't care Let's see  overall  give a percentage  Geez. All right. So let's, let's finish out a little bit of this video here and then we'll continue our discussion.  You can be pretty damn filthy and still be a shining light in this world, right? Because if you look around the world at the state of governance in most places, it's like the most Pathological corrupt and vicious thugs rule and to stand out as an illuminated light against that background isn't so difficult But nonetheless, you know, we're as good as it's got and unless we can come up with something better We should be very careful about messing around with that So why don't we start with the assumption that we're doing something, right? One of the things we're doing right, for example, is that we actually value the individual, right? The individual has intrinsic value in Western societies. Do you know how long it took people to formulate that as an idea? And how unlikely that idea is that poor you, you know, useless, powerless you, with all your damn faults, you're actually worth something. You're worth something to the point that the law has to respect you. Assumption number two, peaceful social being is preferable to isolation and to war.  In consequence, it justly and rightly demands some sacrifice of individual impulse and idiosyncrasy.  Because it's not and being more than normal and being and being unique and creative and contributing in that way is extraordinarily important But the fundamental point is is that social being requires the sacrifice of a certain amount of individual idiosyncrasy And that's a fundamentally conservative claim It's like you should be you should do what everyone else does unless you have a really good reason  It's a good rule. It's like, you do what people have done throughout time. You grow up, you find a partner, you establish a stable relationship, you get a job, you make yourself useful, you have some children, you do something productive and interesting with your spare time, and you try to act like a respectable human being. That's what you do. That's a conservative ethos.  If you have something spectacular about you that needs to be revealed to the world, then break some rules, man. Go right ahead. I'm dead serious about that. But most of the time, you don't. And even if you happen to be a special person, and you might be, 90 percent of you still isn't special. So most of the time, you're still going to be following the rules. And the rules aren't there to oppress. They're there to keep us at They're there to keep us away from each other's throats. Because human beings are very warlike. And we're very We're very competitive and we're very aggressive. And if we are  fortunate enough to have woven together a social fabric that basically renders us peaceful and cooperative, we should try disrupting that at our great peril.  Next.  No, I think that's an interesting one. What he just talked about is, is essentially like there's a, there's a familiar template for life of, of what is a, a, a fulfilling life template. And we're seeing people stray further and further and further from that. And he said that's a conservative leading ethos, right? The fact that you should, uh, have a family. You should get a good job. You should have a productive hobby. All of those things, you know, you should be a productive member of society unless you're like super, super gifted in one area and you just have to dedicate every moment to it. You should probably have children, right? And the reason that we do that is because, you know, one part of that to me is having children makes you see everybody else from a new lens. It even makes you see you from a new lens. Um,  And this is in a lot of different ways, but the way that I have changed as a result of being a father is, is unbelievable, right? You, you see, uh, uh, even somebody who's your own age, even somebody who's older than you, and you see within that person,  the thing that you realize as a parent is everybody in this world is just A child acting as if they're an adult at any given stage of their life, like, at least that's what it feels like, like, everybody's just trying, man, like, it's, it's, it's,  it's a tough go at life, and every single person is, is,  at least attempting to do what they can with what they've been given. That's not every case and there's some people who, who should probably try harder, but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have empathy for them because it could be your child sitting on the side of the road asking for money.  It could be you doing the same thing. If you were given a different life with a different set of skills and a different set of intellect and, and a different level of drive and, and all of these things. So. You start to, you start to see the world and other people and society in a different perspective. And that can bring you to a more interesting religious conversation, but we'll leave that for another day. But another thing that I found interesting is, this is a thought that I had  regarding my children, and  I don't remember a ton of my childhood. I wish I had a better memory. I wish I remembered, you know, the friends I had and how we played on the playground and um, sleepovers and, and uh, you know, time with my family and all of the fun trips that we went on and all of the things like that. And I do remember some highlights and I have it in there somewhere. But it's not as, it's not as vivid as I would like it to be.  And so, when you have a child, You have to realize too, and I think about this, it's like, it's very easy to write off your children's experience because it's like, oh, they won't even remember this,  right? Like, oh, maybe, maybe I shouldn't have acted that way, but they'll probably forget it, because I forgot what my parent did to me in that situation too, right?  But that's a dangerous path to go down.  But if you do, if you look at it from the right perspective, it's your children  are the opportunity to  live your childhood again only through the lens of someone who can actually appreciate it.  And so,  if you treat your child as if they are the opportunity for you to give your own inner self, your own inner child the opportunities in life and  experiences that you,  Wish you would have had or you wish you remembered.  You get that opportunity. You get to experience that thing again. And as a result, the world can open up to you. The, the creative, the, the, the way that you view everything can change. And it's a secondary opportunity to, to, to have that. If you can put yourself in the shoes of your children, and I'm sure the same thing goes for grandchildren and great grandchildren and so on. It's really not that much so on after that, but you get the idea. So to me, it's like when you have children, you get to relive what should be and can be the most illuminating  fun, exciting time of your life. There's magic and there's, there's mystery to everything. And there's so many questions that you want answered. Like, uh, with my daughter,  I'll sit there and she was asking me today, like, how was the world created?  I was like, shit, that's a good question. Well, there's a couple belief systems and one of them is the religious and Christian belief system, which is that God created the earth and all the people in the universe and the stars and the sun in, in seven days. And then there's a scientific perspective, which is the Big Bang Theory. And I tried my best to  explain that pathetically, uh, but I, I explained those to her. And then she, she asked a better question when she said, is there other?  Is there other things like our thing, like is there anything outside of what our, not our world, but our place, like everything, is there another everything? And I said, well, I think what you're talking about is  Like the multiverse theory or even like kind of like string theory, right? Like things can be happening simultaneously in a different reality. And so we got to ask Chad GPT to explain these things and like just the, the interest and, and  mystery to her that is the, the surrounding world. And, you know, I still feel that way that I don't know what the hell is going on. And for all I know, there's a firmament above us. And we, or for all I know, we really did go to the moon, like who knows anything, uh, which is, you know. Another interesting realization as you get older is a lot of history is just fabricated by the authors of large conglomerate organizations that wanted to rewrite history and in their way,  I digress. That's a side note, but to me, having children so important living life in a way that you are. That your ancestors lived, and there's a reason you have children. Your biology changes, your perspective changes, the way that you view the world, the way you view society, the way you view people,  it all changes. Everything, your perspective is so important, and the only way that you get that is by having a child, and having something outside of yourself that is a extension of you, that gets to go off into the world and face their own hero's journey as a result. And so Yeah, you better have a damn good reason, um, in, in all of that to, to get back to the, to the original point, which is that, you know,  even Trending within the conversation that we talked about earlier of like the depopulation of the world and our trending downward spiral of population It's like there's one half of society that is absolutely outbreeding the other half of society there's one half of the political spectrum that is absolutely Having babies, not having abortions, not using plan B and living a happy, healthy, fulfilling life with children and grandchildren. And there will be somebody by their side  with food and flowers and comfort and jokes when they are dying.  And there's another half of the political spectrum that has fallen into the trap  that you are. everything that matters in this universe, right? Go back to like postmodernism, right? Your perspective in your reality is the only reality.  And they fall in for this trap that says like, well, I'm a girl boss. I don't need to be a mom.  Those stay at home moms are just whatever, right? Like fill in the blank. And this culture has been tricked into believing that the mom should be, you know, that the ultimate.  goal isn't to be a, a mother or a father in life like that. That is everything.  And they've been deceived into thinking that that's not the most fulfilling thing that you could accomplish in your life is, is pro creating and, and. Creating something outside of yourself and giving that, that version of you, that extension of yourself, the opportunities and experiences that you weren't given, or maybe you don't remember or whatever, right? It's like such an important thing, but we are absolutely outbreeding the crazy. And eventually, the pendulum will swing right back in our direction. I think in 20 years, we're going to see either a huge wave of non liberal. Uh, ideologies poke their head from the next generation because  a very large percentage of people,  much larger than any other time period of history, are deciding not to have children. And doing so through many means, including, you know, birth control and, and Plan B, but also abortions. And, and doing so after the fact, and, and having, causing much, you know, there's, there's its own psychological effects that even come from that, so.  Anyways, so important, very interesting to see him talk about that, you know, the conservative leaning ethos of creating a family unit and, and the value of that in today's world and And how that kind of even pertains to political ideology. So here we go.  Just a minute. Equity, equity. That's worse, right? Equity means  Equality of outcome. It means that every single organization has 50 percent women and 50 percent men. Doesn't matter whether the men and women differ in their intrinsic preferences, which, by the way they do, the scientific literature on that is completely clear. It was established by the early 90s. It was established in the Scandinavian countries, where they've done most to flatten out the socio economic Differentials, say, between men and women. Didn't get rid of the differences between men and women. In fact, they became exaggerated. The biggest personality differences in the world between men and women are in Scandinavia. Just as the biggest differences in interest between men and women are in Scandinavia. Because when you get rid of the socio cultural differences between men and women, the biological differences don't disappear. They maximize. So,  you hear the egalitarian, clarion call everywhere.  Everything should be equal. Everything should be equally distributed. We should strive for equity. It's like, wrong!  Especially if you're a conservative. Wrong! What we want are just hierarchies of competence.  Not everyone's a neurosurgeon. You know, if your father has a brain tumor, you probably want a hierarchy of competence for neurosurgeons. So you can pick the one that's the best, so that he might not die. That's what a hierarchy of competence is for. For the postmodernists, there's no hierarchy that isn't based on power. Well, because they think the world runs on power. We need the best plumbers. We need the best contractors. We need the best  Alright, so, yeah, and so that touches on another conversation, which, you know, there wasn't as much political socialization aspects within that that I was expecting, but, um, there are some interesting points there, which even talks about gender, right, there, there is a specific divide when it comes to voting percentages that are tied to gender, um, so just pulling up some of my Notes here, and we'll walk through some of those together.  So here are some of the statistics

Hour 1 There were 2 big coaching moves yesterday with Pete Carroll being relieved of his coaching duties in Seattle and Nick Saban retiring. Carroll was the Jets Head Coach when Boomer was there and he ‘loved every minute of it'. Seattle said he will be in an ‘advisory role' now but it sure sounds like Carroll wants to keep coaching. Boomer is not shocked by Saban retiring, considering the transfer portal and NIL. Which is why we also think Jim Harbaugh will jump to the NFL. This is going to continue to chase great coaches out of college football and basketball. Gio said no big name coaches are going to Carolina because of owner David Tepper. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Craig Carton being in the building yesterday to tape, ‘Hello, My Name is Craig'. Boomer said he's looking a little thick. Jerry has audio of Stephen A. Smith going all in on Jason Whitlock. Pat McAfee is ‘pumped' that Aaron Rodgers is no longer appearing on the show until next season. Jerry has audio from Pete Carroll as he met the media and he's ‘freaking jacked'. Jerry thinks the Chargers should hire him. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the best head coaching jobs open including college. Gio compared living and coaching in a beautiful city compared to living here in January. Boomer said the Rose Bowl is the most beautiful stadium in all of football.  Hour 2 This morning Gio found out that Kayvon Thibodeaux blocked him on Twitter. We get breaking news that Bill Belichick is officially out in New England. Where does he end up? Chicago? Chargers? This might be the biggest 24 hours in football coaching history with Belichick, Nick Saban and Pete Carroll out of their positions. We talked about all the potential scenarios for Belichick and where he could end up. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about Belichick and the Bears and Matt Eberflus. Jerry has audio of Pete Carroll after learning that he was let go as Head Coach of the Seahawks. Carroll got very emotional talking about his wife. Drew Barrymore called in because she heard us mention her show was going to be in Vegas for the Super Bowl. She called Boomer & Gio a ‘bright light' in the sports world. She invited us to come on her show from Vegas.  Hour 3 Adam Schefter seems to be linking Bill Belichick to the Falcons now that he is officially out in New England. It is hard to picture him in Atlanta. A caller wants Belichick to the Steelers and Gio said the Rooney family and the fans hate him. We went through NFL Head Coaches and played, ‘Fat/Not Fat'. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Bill Belichick being out in New England. What if the Drew Barrymore appearance and the Dua Lipa interview are the same day for Gio? Stephen A. Smith went all in on Jason Whitlock on his podcast yesterday and Jerry has the audio. He called him ‘worse than a white supremacist'. In the final segment of the hour, we took calls on Belichick being out in New England. We will hear from him and Robert Kraft at a noon press conference.  Hour 4 Bill Cowher joins us to talk about Bill Belichick officially being out in New England. Cowher said he needs to go to a place with a QB and speed on offense, as he can take care of the defense on his own. Would Belichick go to the west coast and the Chargers? Cowher thinks the Atlanta job is the most appealing because of the division. They do need a quarterback though. He said you need to win your division as it gives you a home playoff game. Cowher doesn't think Pete Carroll will take another coaching job. He thinks he will take a front office job with Seattle. He doesn't see him going to the Chargers. Gio said the Rooneys hate Belichick and would never bring him in. Cowher doesn't agree with that but also said Mike Tomlin isn't going anywhere. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with Bill Belichick, out in New England. Carroll is ‘freaking jacked, not worn down' and ready to go. David Stearns said Harrison Bader will play regularly in center field. Stephen A. Smith went all in on Jason Whitlock and Jerry has the audio. Gio does not want the Yankees to bring in Marcus Stoman, saying he's a slug. Pat McAfee is ‘pumped' to be done with the Aaron Rodgers segments. The Moment of The Day involves Drew Barrymore calling into the show. In the final segment of the show, Buddy Harrelson passed away at the age of 79. Michael Strahan's 19 year old daughter is fighting a brain tumor.

Hour 4 of Cook and Joe: Former 93.7 The Fan host and Steelers punter Josh Miller joined the show as our mystery guest. Josh is in Jupiter, Florida now. He reacted to his former coach Bill Belichick mutually parting ways with the Patriots. He was a punter on the Patriots for a while and joined The Fan early in the station's infancy. He thinks Mike Vrabel might be the new head coach. Josh thinks a fresh start is necessary for Mike Tomlin, but now with them in the playoffs thinks they maybe should keep him. Chris called Mullsy "underrated" and an important piece of the puzzle. He said coach Cowher tried to trade him to Green Bay. WIVB chief meteorologist Todd Santos in Buffalo joined the show. What does the weather look like for Sunday's game against the Bills? 20-30 mph wins with potentially up to 50 mph are possible Sunday. He hasn't heard any chatter if the game can't happen.

Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers on a 12-year, $325 million deal. The Mets made the same offer and he chose LA. He could have offered more or he could have offered the same money for 10-years. And the Yankees offered less. The Dodgers are the new evil empire. So it will be another average season for the Mets. This was a big prize for them and they missed out. Boomer thinks Yamamoto used the Mets to get to a number just to have the Dodgers match it. Steve Cohen is becoming the guy everyone uses for leverage to get more money from the team they want to play for. He's a trampoline. Gio doesn't think it's the worst thing in the world for the Mets and Yankees. The Yankees added Juan Soto so they have something new headed into the season. Gio said baseball free agency is like being in college and trying to pick up women in a bar. Jerry is here for his first update and has audio from Alex Verdugo as he's excited to be a Yankee. Derek Jeter said he didn't have kids while he was playing because he was selfish. The Rams beat the Saints last night. Bill Cowher talked about George Pickens not blocking because he doesn't want to get injured. Cowher said they need to put Kenny Pickens under center. Mike Kafka talked about Tommy DeVito getting ready to play Philly on Monday. The Pistons lost again, that's now 25 in a row. In the final segment of the hour, Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers. The Mets offered the same, the Yankees offered him less, but for less years. Boomer said the Dodgers now have one of the best lineups in the history of baseball. On paper of course. The Mets have no expectations now, so maybe that's good, considering what we had last year. Gio called Cohen & Stearns ‘The Property Brothers', going in and working with what they got.

The Mets have no expectations now, so maybe that's good, considering what we had last year. Gio called Cohen & Stearns ‘The Property Brothers', going in and working with what they got.  Hour 2 The Friday before Christmas is always very joyous. Peter Schwartz deleted a post on Twitter where he commented on a Jets player's wife's butt. He also deleted a picture of a sandwich. Yamamoto is a Dodger. Gio is comfortable with what happened. Boomer said he feels bad for Steve Cohen. He went to Japan, he hosted him for dinner in CT. He feels Cohen got played by Yamamoto. Boomer never thought he was coming to the Mets. Cohen spending all that money last year and going all in got them nothing. Jerry returns for an update and we wonder if CBS would have sent a camera crew to cover the funeral of Jerry if he was killed by the golf ball that hit him in the eye. Jerry has audio from Alex Verdugo being introduced by the Yankees and he's happy to be here. Gio said he will be a fan favorite. The Rams beat the Saints 30-22. Jalen Hurts talked about the comments he made after last week's game. The Pistons lost their 25th straight game. In the final segment of the hour, Al bought Gio a Fat Perez hoodie for Christmas. Chris Russo's son, Colin, is hosting tonight from 10pm-2am. And Gallo is hosting overnight Christmas Eve into Christmas morning.  Hour 3 Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers as they matched the offer from the Mets and he went there instead. How do you build a winner in baseball? Strengthen a lineup or strength in pitching? We've seen both work. Gio said if you are going to spend that much money, it needs to be an everyday player like Juan Soto, who plays every game all season. Jerry returns for an update and starts with Alex Verdugo looking forward to what the Yankees offense will be like. The Rams beat the Saints last night. Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco talked about getting a raccoon as a pet. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about our upcoming trip to Vegas for the Super Bowl. Gio wonders if we will get a huge snowstorm before the Super Bowl. Gio said to make sure you tip the sanitation guys this year. Also, your mail carrier.  Hour 4 Yamamoto is going to the Dodgers and Gio doesn't think it's all that bad for the Mets. The Yankees offered $300 million for ten years. The Dodgers offered $325 for 12 years. Boomer wonders if the Yankees deal had opt outs for him. If they did, then he really didn't want to play in New York. Trevor Siemian is starting for the Jets against the Commanders and Gio called it a ‘total dull puke spot'. With us being off next week, Gio loves that he doesn't have to pay attention to the game. Aaron Rodgers wants to give the Jets at least 2 years because of the spot he put them in with his injury this year. Gio said if Rodgers is in a uniform Sunday, he's ‘just doing cos play'. Boomer still thinks Zach Wilson is going to the Vikings, much to Gio's chagrin. Gio thought he was getting a job at sports radio in Los Angeles but it ended up being Pittsburgh. Gio wonders why New Yorkers don't move to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. Jerry returns for an update but first we talked about the gift Citarella bought us. Gio wonders if you would regift this sort of thing. Jerry starts with the sounds from last night's Rams win over the Saints. Bill Cowher was on with Pat McAfee and talked about George Pickens not blocking because he didn't want to get hurt. Jalen Hurts talked about his comments after the game. The Moment of The Day involves vegans being killed by a cow or chickens. In the final segment of the show, our NFL picks with Yussef!

Foalsie with another edition as there is turmoil in New England and Dallas, the MLB playoffs continue and Cowher disagrees with Deion Sanders. 

10-1-23 We Tackle Life podcast: The dearth of truthful reporting and commentary has consequences far beyond the Ryder Cup. Stefon Diggs has a big game, so his petulance and unreliability doesn't matter to Bill Cowher. It would, if Cowher had to coach him. Mel Tucker is contorting himself into, around and threw every legal loophole to get every dollar he can out of Michigan State University, which justifiably fired him for betraying his responsibility and charge to those from whom he sought that privilege. We can all take a lesson from Jesus honest, comprehensive answer to critics who looked to trip Him up with their fanciful concoctions. Find out more at https://spielman-and-hooley.pinecast.co
