Kap & J. Hood
10/10 8 AM: Dealbreakers
[Music] Good morning, and welcome in to the Captain J. Hood Morning Show on ESPN 1000. And streaming on the ESPN Chicago app with David Kaplan, Jonathan Hood with you. I'd remind you, in an hour from now, we will have Tom Thayer, he'll join us at 9 o'clock right here on Captain J. Hood. Yeah, Tommy, if you're awake yet, I think you are. No almonds. But first, shot a no shot. Here's Kevin Zepack. Good morning, fellas, how are we doing? We're doing well, man. We're doing well. It's a beautiful day in the beautiful city. Alright, let's get started here. How are you? I'm good. Doing well. Didn't ask me, but that's fine. I said fellas, how are we doing? That's a collective. Well, I didn't get a chance to answer because you just put your beak in there before I can answer. That's what happens. I thought you like to keep it moving here. Damn. Well, I mean, it's a good point. But also, I'm also very personable. You are very personable. That's the whole thing. One of the things I like about you. Unfortunately, you would not allow me to be personable. What you did is you stuck your beak in there before I could tell you good morning. Jonathan, good morning. How are you? Alright, let's go, man. We don't have this time. Alright, let's get started then. Bitching with you. Jane Daniels, start to his NFL career, has opened up eyes around the league. He's got the Washington commanders off to a pretty stunning start out there in the NFC East. And of course, we've already had the debates. Did the Bears take the wrong quarterback at number one? Let's not talk about the debates. It's a sports show. Go ahead. Not only Jane Daniels, you've got Malik neighbors putting up big numbers in New York. You've got Marvin Harrison Jr. out in Arizona off to a hot start. Yet Caleb Williams is still second in rookie of the year voting right now. He's plus 300. Jane Daniels is the favorite minus 250. So shot or no shot. You would still be willing to put a wager on Caleb Williams to win NFL rookie of the year. Absolute shot. Absolute shot. It's a shot Kevin because that's what I put my money on already and I can't go back on it. There is no cash out feature for Caleb Williams in rookie of the year. There's no button on there. Like, can I cash this out? It's not going well, pal. I can't do that. So that's what I've always felt. The kid, Caleb Williams. Going back to his time at USC, you could see that he was ready to be a pro. You play at USC, you're pro anyway, even though it's a college team cap. Everything is pointing at you. The big spotlight on you. And I thought maybe not a senior year as much, but the junior year told me that he was NFL ready. Again, we always say that and then there's your Marcus Russell. Then there's Brady Quinn. You know, there's Joey Harrington. There's always these examples of, hey, here's a first round draft pick. That's a quarterback. And sometimes the infrastructure does not work for the quarterback that comes in. But Caleb and what the Bears have done, I think it's a match. I think it's a match. And he's bossy. Yeah, I absolutely think it's a shot. I think he has a very good chance to win the rookie of the year award. Jayden Daniels had a great start. No doubt about it. So we'll see. Neighbors didn't even play last week. Is he playing this week? He's in the concussion protocol. Like you. Possibly. Wow. Here's Kevin Zepach. Alright, Kevin Warren spoke yesterday from London still steadfast in the idea that the Bears are going to have their new stadium going, construction going by 2025 downtown, not in Arlington Heights. It seems like he's digging in more and more every time we hear from him. He is totally into doing this on the lakefront, not out in the suburbs. And it seems like the momentum, at least from the people I'm hearing from here at the station and elsewhere is that the want is Arlington Heights and not the lakefront. So shot or no shot shovels in the ground on a new lakefront stadium in 2025 based on Warren's most recent comments. Kevin, you're one of the brightest guys at the station. You're a smart guy. I think so. Yeah. I think it's pretty clear. Okay. Just ask you. All I'm asking you, Kevin, is this. Okay. You know better 2025. Think about this. It's 2024 now as an intelligent man. Do you think that there would be shovels in the ground next year for a new stadium? I trust Kevin Warren. To do what? Get those shovels in the ground. In 2025. Yeah. The city that works. No shot. Kevin. He's just trolling. I don't know why he's doing it. I'm not trolling. What are you talking about? It's unfortunate. I wouldn't come show up on this program. This is a steam program and start trolling you guys in the morning on a beautiful day. If we worked afternoons, possibly, maybe that's why that's why. Here's the thing, cap. We talked a lot about it. Just the other day. I don't. I don't know what Kevin sees. Kevin Warren looks at this and says, Oh, yes, we love the idea that coming off of a commercial break on TV that you can have the drone footage of the new soldier field off the lakefront. Dude. So you want to be able to have the friends of the park control even the new stadium too. They're not going away. They're not. So you're good with that versus having your own land to do whatever the hell you want to do with it. That's what I mean. That's the choice. I would love to have like break bread with him. I've never met him. I would love to break bread with him and go, Can you explain to me other than the visual appeal of being a picture of your stadium down there? Why? Why? Makes no sense to me. I mean, I mean, statuses, we're continuing to make progress. I mean, we have a plan. We stay focused still to be able to be in the ground. It's going to disrupt us some time in 2025. There's a lot of activity that's still going on. We're having regular meetings with key business leaders, key politicians, just staying focused and on course, you know, this is a long journey on any of these stadium projects. You're trying to make it as straight of a journey as you possibly can. But this takes time. It takes a lot of effort. It takes a lot of energy. I've been there before. And so we're exactly where I thought we would be at this point in time. Did I read that they're going to put a lid on this new thing and a new stadium that they're trying to think of? How do you put a dome on it? Did you read that? On what? On the new stadium. Yeah. On the lakefront. It will be. You mean on the current one? Yeah, no, I'm talking about they want to build a new stadium on the lakefront. Correct. I read that they were interested in putting a lid on top of it, like a dome stadium over here. Did you see that? Yeah. I'm surprised. You want an outdoor stadium? I'm just surprised that they can get that done in the city. In Chicago. Yeah, they're not going to build an outdoor stadium ever. But you understand that I'm surprised that that would happen here the way just how politics works in Chicago, that they could be able to have enough money to put a dome stadium on the lakefront. Arlington Heights, yes. I'm just surprised this happens here. That doesn't surprise me because they won't build a stadium if they don't get a dome on it. It has to be able to be used for other events. Do you understand why it seems far-fetched for it to happen here down here in Arlington Heights for me? It's far-fetched to build any stadium down here, but there will be no stadium down here unless it is a dome. There is zero chance. I understand. I just can't see that happening here at the lakefront. I can see it in Arlington Heights. Definitely see it there. I'm surprised. Yeah, I would think they'll eventually end up in Arlington Heights. I think it's a massive mistake to put it on the lakefront. Massive. And deal with all the nonsense. Hey, we'd like to put that. No. Sorry. We gave you a stadium. You're not getting that. You'll own the land and do whatever you want. How'd you like to have to do something to your house when they go, "No, you can't do it." No, that would suck. Yes. I just want what's best for us as Bears fans, as far as amenities. I mean, you've done the Penguin Walk way too long at Soldier Field. It's not a great spot like it used to be. Why don't go? So, but to be able to spread out, have fun, have all these things a Bears-centric location that's open 24/7, not just during the Bears season, but all year round to go to Bears Park or whatever it is, that's, I think, makes more sense. Agreed. Instead of, "Well, Bears are done, so see you in August." Well, can I just come and get to the store? No. No. You're not supposed to be on the grounds. No. Sorry. At some point, it's time for change. Correct. Correct. Zay. Uh, our director of content, Danny Zetterman, just sent me a text, cap, you're wondering if Tom Thayer was awake yet. It is 2-0, now 2-10 now, local time in London where Tom Thayer is. I believe he is awake. Yes, I was actually being facetious. For you? Yes. Okay. Good. It's six hours later there. All right, let's get to the next one here. So, we got a little bit of a group chat with some of the producers here at the station, myself, Shea, Blaken Abdullah, Charlie, and... Oh, I wonder, I wonder what it looks like on that for us. Yeah. It must be ugly. It's glowy praise. I was hoping for that show. Those two idiots. Yeah. Guarantee. It must be ugly. Jaymore, you're on that? Absolutely not. Shh. Love you, Jaymore. That's right. That's right on brand. Go ahead. You're saying Kevin? Oh, is that on brand? I don't know what you're implying there. Anyway, you know, we like to banter with one another, talk a little trash, as you do, with your friends, you know, about sports, other things. So last Saturday, the Tigers were down, I believe, five-nothing early to the Cleveland Guardian. So I send a text in this group chat and say, "Hey, Tigers are looking good. Next thing I know, five minutes later, you have been removed from this group chat." What? Shot or no shot, Shay is soft as hell for not being able to take the banter and kicking me out of the group chat. That's a shot. Wait a minute. You're complimenting the Tigers, were you not? No, they were down five-nothing. I was talking trash. Oh. Well, that situation, you do not remove you. He needs to just put his phone down. Oh, wow, Kevin. That's something. I did not know that. Never come back at you. Yeah. That's what I wanted. I don't want it to joust. Like, if we fire on the Jayhawk about Kansas, he comes back at you. I don't know if he's soft. I just think that, you know, it's a very sensitive time for Shayne Orling. He hasn't seen his Tigers in this situation in a long time. And so, do you take offense to it, Kevin? I think that's the question. No. I don't take offense to it at all. React, however, he wants to react, or however he would like to. But what I do take offense to, since you bring it up, I didn't hear Shayse say one thing about the Tigers from about March up until about the last week of September. And now, all of a sudden, he's got the mascot suit on. He's waving his pom-poms around like he's Mickey Tettleton or something. I just want some consistency. I want you to keep the same energy from March through September. You can't go dark for 99% of the season and then hop back on the Motor City bandwagon, Seamus. That's not how it works. Wow. That's outstanding. That's very good. That's very good. Yeah. I mean, I think he should be allowed to be back on the text chain, I believe. To be removed like that. Add yourself. Yes. Can you do that? No, you cannot. That would be the Wild West. Who's the grand poo-ba to create the wise Shay get to determine that? Well, I think anybody in the chat can add or remove anybody at any time. There's not like a vote on a leader or anything like that. I see. OK. All right. No, I think you should be added back because I believe that your comedic timing, I think, would be good for that chat. Correct. I would call him Mickey Teddle did you hear that? Wow. If he even knows who he is, can you squeeze it one more, sir? Yeah, I can squeeze in one more here. We've got some situations going out with the New York Jets. Of course, this week with the missile of Robert Salah. Aaron Rodgers came on the Pat McAfee tank top hour yesterday to say he had nothing to do with it. Of course. You know, don't blame me. I just work here. It seems like my entire adult life, this situation in New York has never really been good for the football Jets. We as Bears fans, we talk a lot about getting a bad rap here or a bad luck with the quarterback situation. It seems like the Jets have kind of that same issue, at least they have as long as I've been around. And it seems like it stems a little bit deeper with the Jets. So shot or no shot, the Jets are the most dysfunctional franchise in the National Football League. Wow. The Jets. Well, the only thing who else would be dysfunctional, like the Bears aren't dysfunctional, they just haven't been very good. Correct. Whose Carolina has been a bit dysfunctional. I think they're in the team photo, for sure. Browns? Browns are dysfunctional. Hmm. Um, those would probably be the two that would jump out at me. Giants okay. Yeah, maybe they're just not very good. No, they're like the Bears. Yeah. Uh, the Raiders for, uh, geez, for years, there's always something that changing quarterbacks again, cap. O'Connell's in now. Yeah. I ain't no Connell in. Yeah. I'm gonna admit you to the bench. I would probably. How about Browns Jets? If I said Browns and Jets. I think the Jets are the most dysfunctional and probably the most poorly run. I think that's right. I agree. When the owners puts it out there that I fired, they had coached me alone, which is not true. Um, that's, that says a lot. You know, outside of Jerry Jones, you got to get away from these metal some owners, man. This is a, this is a common place in the 70s and 80s. You know, you have multiple owners making these big sweeping changes as if they knew what's best for their team, not allowing general managers to generally manage their team. But my God, man, it's unbelievable. But if you buy something for that much money, you got the right to do what you want, man. So a sidebar, maybe I approach. Yes. Brought to you by Anken Law, three, one, two, six million for the great Howard Anken. Sound my ball. Folks, this is the second time that my partner has looked up at the screen and want to get this floodlight for his house. He did it yesterday. At the same time. He doesn't realize the commercials come out at the same time. He's writing on his, yes, you did this yesterday, this bionic floodlight. I have one. You do. You never asked me, but I have one and it's fantastic. It's better than their usual, the regular lighting in the garage. It's fantastic. Serious. It's like, no, I'm serious. Is it lights up like I see that. I see that. I've seen that ad for two years. Yes. Never bought it. I've got to get this. And you'll forget it. And I was out. Okay. Take the dog out at like 10 to five every morning. Yeah. The puppy. Yeah. The like four of the last 10 times there's been a skunk outside. Mm hmm. A skunk. I don't want to get sprayed. Right. And I read online, it said, make sure you have a bright flashlight or a bright light and it will repel them. They'll go away. They don't want to be in the light. Okay. So I keep seeing this atom like, ah, I forgot to write that down. So I saw it over your shoulder. I'm like, I'm writing that phone number down on my call after this show. I mean, it's just, it's just amazing. You saw, you did this yet. I didn't say anything. And now it comes up. Oh, I got to remember that because I couldn't remember where I wrote it. Cap, it's a tremendous light. I'm going to buy it. It lights up more than your, just your garage. It's that good. So yes, you should get it. The Bionic. Floodlight. Floodlight. Yes. So the people upstairs on seven, you should call them. They should be a partner with us. What is that? The skunk saying, all his love and fair and war. It is me. I admire her mind too. Like pepula pew. Yes. You would speak. I do not want to get sprayed. Thank God I've never had that happen and I don't want my dog to get sprayed. Your lips, they say no, but your eyes say yes. Pepe le pew. Of course, in 2024, that's probably out of bounds. The stuff he was doing because he was sexually assaulting the other skunk. Wow. You do recall this, right? You do. He's getting too close to the punch. I'm so back off there. Now. All right. We have got around the NFL, deal breakers at 835, cap and Jhood weekday morning, seven to ten. I'm bossed. Welcome back. Welcome. I'm just a fan, I'm not a football about here. I love the Green Bay Packers. The guy is front, but there he goes. This is not Detroit, man. This is the Super Bowl. I love winter. He starts the comedy. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things here, huh? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I love winter. This is a really thickly built guy. I mean, what's the answer you're looking for on these things here? And it's time to go around the NFL right here on the cap and Jhood morning show on the ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app, still to come our next half hour. Deal breakers at 835 around the NFL. Here's Kevin Zepack. All right, guys, on Thursday's here around the NFL, the man sitting in this chair goes over what he would like to see from teams this weekend in the national football league. All right. Start with the Bears and the Jaguars, of course, they'll be in London. The jags finally got off the snide last week with a win versus Indy, but I still have no faith in that team in the head coach in the quarterback quite frankly. Meanwhile, yeah, Caleb Williams, the first Bears rookie QB to win three out of his first five starts since, you know, who Craig Frenzel, 2004, 20 years ago. Oh, wow. Hopefully turns out a little bit better than Craig Crenzel, but last week Caleb beat up a bad Panthers team resulting in his best game so far as a pro and a win that was wrapped up before halftime. We could have got a fade to black moment, honestly, in the second quarter of that game. So what I need to see this Sunday is the Bears taking care of business. You brought it up earlier, Cap. If you want to be taken seriously in this league as a playoff contender, you need to beat up the bad team. So I need to see the pressure, continued amount offensively with Shane Walger and Caleb Williams. You need another blowout opportunity against an inferior opponent this Sunday in London. I don't care if they win seven to six. Find a way to win. No, seven to six. I'd be disappointed that we didn't score more. You got to get on that plane for it too. Yeah. By hook or by crook, you got to find a way to beat this tape. Learn a beatable opponent and then go on your vacations. Enjoy your week off and then let's get back at it. I concur Kevin. All right, Monday night, you've got Buffalo Bills visiting those New York Jets, who we talked about a little bit earlier. Robert Salah was unceremoniously, you might say, dismissed this week. And now it is the Aaron Rodgers Show. It's what he always wants. He's got all the attention, all the spotlight on him. He's got all the control now in that locker room. He's got his guy there in the thin. You'll hack it. His buddy still instilled as the offensive coordinator. He's finally gotten what he wants. Time to put up or shut up at home. Let's see what the old man has got left. He's got to look a lot better than he did last week. Yeah, I think that that's fair. Absolutely. No more excuses. What no one wants to say out loud is that the Jets offense looked broken last couple weeks. It does not look good. Yeah, the whole thing is just something was off. So okay, he decides to fire him. You better win now. It's not that they haven't spent money. They've given Aaron autonomy. They've allowed him to bring in certain guys. Some have been good, some haven't. They're a better team than this, they got more talent. Period. They do. When Woody Johnson says in one of the most talented Jets teams that he's been around, that might be the case. But like anything else, Cap, it's about the head coach and the quarterback. Can they be on the same page? And now it's fractured like there's no solid in the mix. Aaron Rodgers, I believe that without question, it's in arguable that he is in the autumn of his career. Now, what's he going to do about it? Like he still has the ability, but can he do it like he used to? I don't know the... I told you they're going to beat the bills on Monday. I don't know if that means that they can get it done this season. Plus, Cap. I think you've got to play it. You have to. At his age, it really is about Super Bowl or bust. There is no in between because there's no building with Aaron Rodgers. Either he's going to get it done or he's not, or the offense is going to get it done in this night. Because this is not like a young quarterback you build for five years. It's Aaron Rodgers. Yep. He's already at the door. Well, he hasn't gotten it done in terms of winning a Super Bowl since, what, 2011? That's correct. And he's going to be 41 in a couple months. I mean, he was still efficient, but I think he's still a rust man from being out that whole year. Well, when you're that old, rust is no good. Rust might be something else. ayahuasca is supposed to clear out that rust. It's like a Rust-Oleum, isn't it? That clears the cobwebs. Was it the ayahuasca? Didn't he say he did acid down somewhere and on a beach with his friends? He's going up that third eye and get a little bit more field vision, I think. You know what, Kevin? You know what it comes down to? You know what it comes down to? He's not serious enough about football. It's not. It's not about everything else. Aaron? Yep. Oh, I disagree. I think he's all in on football. I just think he's getting old. I thought it was about football because at this place, he got to be more about football and then he goes to Egypt? He goes on a trip and then he's got a documentary and then he's got a book and then he's got McAfee. But where's the football fitting in this? We're doing McAfee. How about the VP bid almost? When's it going to be about football, Cap? See? I got a laundry list for you and you got, I love Aaron Rodgers. I do. I like it. That's how you got, I've got the laundry list though of things that's not, as I do with football. I think he's pretty damn committed to football. I do. Don't forget also about the jewelry company as well. The jewelry company. Rodgers and Holland. Oh, wow. For now and forever. You do call that, right? And then Aaron Rodgers sticking his beak in there. You hear him the other day talking about Robert Salah? Horrible. What he had to say about Robert Salah. Did you hear it? Yeah, he said I had nothing to do with his firing. Robert Salah was getting in my **** way and opening his mouth to the media about how Aaron Rodgers was responsible for the Jets losses. Just listen to what that bald-headed imbecile said about me after the Vikings came. Think about that. I mean, what kind of teammate is that? I can't believe he said this. What does he say? Aye. Aye, aye. Aaron Rodgers. Wow. Here's Kevin Zepack. Kevin? All right. We all headed in this game. People have said that about me. What? No, what is that? No, but I mean. What was undeserved for Robert Salah from Aaron Rodgers standpoint? It was deserved. Robert Salah was getting in my **** way and opening his mouth to the media about how Aaron Rodgers was responsible for the Jets losses. Just listen to what that bald-headed imbecile said about me after the Vikings came. Kevin? All right. We got Washington at Baltimore this weekend and of course we mentioned Jayden Daniels. He's been fantastic for the commanders this season, but he's got a very, very tough test this Sunday as Washington visits Baltimore, Washington's four-on-one, but their only loss this year was against Tampa. Coincidentally, that was the only team Washington has played that currently owns a 500 record. I need to see Jayden Daniels get it done against a real team this Sunday. I'm not saying he's not talented. He's obviously very, very talented. I don't want to get into the whole reliving the first pick and if the Bears made the wrong pick, that's preposterous to me. It's too early, but I need to see Jayden Daniels establish himself against a real opponent this Sunday against Baltimore team who defensively is not quite been there this season offensively. They've been spectacular defensively. They step back a little bit so there might be a window, but that's still a good team with a lot of talent, Jayden Daniels is the prove it game where I'm coming from. What do you think? Jayden Daniels is just a big, big statement game. It is. If he plays well against Baltimore, puts up big numbers, that would be incredible. Incredible. Is that Baltimore, Cap? Yeah. That's a must-see game. That will be a good one. You know what? It is a must-see for you and I and the rest of us in Chicago because the Bears games at A30. Correct. A30 and then you roll into a Commander Raven. Correct. And A30, what time does our pre-game start? 6 o'clock. 3 AM. 6 o'clock. Yeah. Okay. So 6 AM, I was going to say, are we starting like 4 AM? Yes. 6 o'clock and then you go to the Bear game and then we'll have Jirko and Peggy, we'll have the post-game coverage, we'll have Caleb and Coach Ebert Flus before they talk to the media. Correct. That's a lot for you to do here and then you can saunter over to the Red Zone or whatever is on TV after that. Commander Raven at noon. That's going to be great. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. Go Raven. In the afterglow of a Bears victory. I hope you're right. How about that, Kevin Zeepe? I hope. Sounds good to me. I love the afterglow. Morning glow, afterglow. Soul glow. Thank you. Coming up, coming up. Deal breakers. You also like soul play right here on Captain J. Hood, we're so low. If you missed something, get the podcast on the ESPN Chicago app. Jack and J. Hood are back on Chicago's home for sports, ESPN Chicago, and DART. We all have to make choices in sports and in life. It could be running on third down. You ran the same third down situation and you ran the same place twice. You're getting paid for that. I cannot believe the call. We're managing finances. This country, you've got to make the money for it. Or it could be a deal breaker. Time for deal breakers here on the Captain J. Hood Morning Show on a ESPN 1000 and streaming on the ESPN Chicago app. The author of this week's deal breakers is Kevin Zeepac, Kevin. All right, let's dive right into it here. All right, let's say you go to a new restaurant, a new bar, a new brewery somewhere in your neighborhood and you're tagging along with your best friend. I'm talking your best friend in the world. You've known this fellow since elementary school, best manager wedding. You guys are thickest these, right? This is your guy. I like them thick. Yeah, of course. He's nice and thick with it. So you go to the new brewery and you're testing out a few beers, having a few sips and some beverages. And your buddy says, "Hey, that looks delicious." And you're just like, "Yeah, that's pretty good." And your friend asked, "Can I have a sip?" You're not a germaphobe. So yeah, sure. You let your buddy have a sip of your beer. He says, "Wow, that's really great. Thank you for letting me taste that." About a week later, you're getting ready in the morning, you're brushing your teeth. You're getting ready to start your day. You notice a little something on your lip. You're like, "Hmm, that's a little strange." You look a little closer. It looks like you've got a little bit of a cold sore popping up on your lower lip there. And you're thinking back, "What, what on earth? This has never happened to me before in my life. What could have possibly caused this?" And then you think, "Wait, I let old Gary take a sip of my beer at the brewery last week." And all of a sudden, he got something a little fishy going on there. So is this going to be a deal-breaker in your relationship with your best friend? Do you cut this fellow off for possibly infecting you? Well, do I know for sure it's from Gary? Do you know it's from-- wait a minute. Is this Gary from Golden Bachelor? Gary, come in here. Like, do I know that he did this and pick up a cold sore any number of ways? Gary, come in here. We're loitering. Huh? He says, "Who knows where he's loitering." In this scenario, you've got the options narrowed down pretty thin, I think, unless you're out in gallivanting and getting into other stuff. How do you know that you didn't use a fork that wasn't clean? You don't know this was on Gary. You're going to blow up a lifetime friendship over a cold sore? No shot. That's not a deal-breaker. Yeah, wait a minute now, a cold sore. You know where it came from. I mean, you were fine and healthy until he sipped on your beer. You don't know that stress can bring those things on a hundred percent. You don't have those. And also your germaphone. I don't even know why you're doing this. You would never allow that. That's number one. You'd say, "I'll buy your beer." You would not let someone drink off your own beer. Your best friend? Absolutely not. It's not a second now. You would not do that. Whoa! You're a germaphobe. You would never allow that. Right? Tell me I'm wrong with that. Okay. You're wrong. There's someone we work with as a teammate here. Yes. And we were at the White Sox game two weeks ago. Careful. Don't... I don't... What? What? Don't tell that story. What story? Don't do it. She got the milkshake at the White Sox game. Okay. And I said, "Is the milkshake any good?" She said, "Here, have a taste." It's not like she and I have been lifelong friends. I said, "No problem." And I took a plastic fork or spoon and took a little taste. I'm like, "Wow." It's like a... It's good. It's a milkshake. And she's like, "I told you, it's really good, but it's just a chocolate shake." So I didn't get any cold source from her. But if I had, I wouldn't have blamed her. Yeah. That's a bad move. I don't think that you'd allow that to happen, Cap, if it's on your end. You would buy me a beer more so than me sipping out of your own beer. I don't think you'd allow that. My daughter-in-laws will try something of mine. I said from your end, "I don't think that you'd want me to sip off of your..." No. I said from your end-laws, "I make that healthy ice cream on my Ninja Creamy machine." Yeah. And my daughter-in-law Maggie's like, "Is it good?" My wife's like, "No, it's horrible." My wife doesn't like it because of them. He's sugar in it. Oh, I see. I eat it healthy. Yes. The Jayhawk converted me. Oh, sure. My daughter-in-law went, "Can I taste it?" She grabbed her own spoon and she tasted it. I have a problem with that. Family, man. What if she was drinking around the perimeter of the cup, though? Just like, "That's good. I'll have another one. Just keep going around. I don't think you'd like that." Well, if she started, like, guzzling my beer, I'd be like, "Keep it, I'll get another one." But one little sip, not that time. Ah, brother. No. I can't allow that. Absolutely not. So hold on a second. You go to a nice restaurant. Yeah. You look at the cocktail menu. Yeah. There's some drink that intrigues you. You get it. Yeah. You're there with Wylie. Yeah. Your cousin. Yep. And he orders a drink. And he's like, "How's your drink, hoodie?" It's really good. Can I let me taste it? You wouldn't let him taste it. Absolutely. That's why the good lord made glasses. I'd pour them some. Pour them a corner. Tell him that Ramon wants to clean it today and I find out that I have the simplex tin. Exactly. Wow. And I don't want to have that. Wow. So that's why I cap. I would pour him a corner. Absolutely not. Who knows what I've got? So why would I give it to someone else? How about that, Kevin? Okay. Maybe I wouldn't do it then if you convinced me in that way. But it certainly isn't a deal breaker to crush a friendship. No. If you're showing up on the recap with a big honking cold sore on your lip, yeah, that's not going to be a deal breaker. Well, what would McGuffie say? Cap is the money maker. Can't have that. You can't mess up the money maker. It's got to be straight. What's wrong with cap? He's got cold sore around his mouth. Things are tough. Apparently at home. Can't have that cap. Can't mess up the money maker. Keep the face clean. That's right. All right. What do you got else? What else you got there, kid? All right. Let's say you're you're planning a wedding with your lovely spouse and things are going great. So your fiance's parents seems like every time that you meet up with them, they maybe over indulge a little bit. They have a few too many. They cause a scene and it's not just a one or two time thing. This is a constant occurrence and you don't really make too much of it because you don't see them that often, but you see the neighborhood. You just painted the picture for overindulge over my neighborhood. Drunk. Exactly. Yes. Drunk is a skunk. Yes. Interestingly so. Sometimes scenes are caused. It's a whole to do, but you don't seem that often so you don't you know, you don't say anything to your fiance about it, but you got the wedding coming up and you got the open bar at the wedding and you want the wedding to go great, don't you? You don't want any disturbances or ruckuses at your wedding in that regard. Do you instruct the bartenders to not serve your in-laws alcohol at the wedding or is that on the line? How about a limit? You can't do that. You can have a talk with them and say hey, you know, we go out a lot with you guys. We love you dearly. We're going to be family here. I can't have you getting drunk at the wedding. I'm asking you nicely, please, can we keep the behavior under control? But you can't go to the bartender and go, I'm going to put a limit on them. You're not their parent. What did you try to say? When you meet, I can't get drunk at the wedding. You can't get drunk at the wedding because you make a scene. What kind of scene? I'm here to support the family. You're just having a good time. You've embarrassed us at times in restaurants. I've embarrassed you. You embarrassed me. Take that. How about that? You know, good son of a bitch. I do not embarrass the family. Where's my north face? Has anyone seen my jacket, my north face? Has anyone had my jacket? Anyway, you're saying I embarrass the family. It's a celebration, bitches. It's a celebration. We are here to celebrate. It doesn't matter. Camp, you just needed to just chill out. We don't need to get hammered. Take that. I'm not a huge alcohol guy. I'm asking you to please not embarrass the family. How dare you, the temerity, the unmitigated goal for you to tell me? The mitigated. Huh? Mitigated. Not mitigated. You don't know. How dare you say that we embarrass the family. It's a celebration. I'm going to drink. And if you're not going to serve me, you know what I got here? I got a little fleskey. Take that. Great alcohol. What are you going to do then, chap? A lump. Because if you're going to tell them not to drink, that's almost like a green light to say to them, we're just going to get hammered. You know how people are, man? Then I would tell my videographer. Shut it down. We'll call him his name is Matt. Okay. Matt? I'm going to film every idiotic thing they do when they sober up. I'm going to show it to him. Oh, my God. So humiliate them. That's what it is, right? Oh, man. Did it? We would have an in-law cam going. What did you say, Diddy? Is that what you said? By the way, did anyone watch that show last night? I couldn't stop watching it. What's that? ABC did. Do you remember the R Kelly one that was like a documentary that blew the top off the case? I'm fighting for my life, him yelling the one on one or what happened? No. That was a Gayle king, I believe. Yes. Okay. No, the one I'm talking about, they did a documentary on R Kelly, like a two day thing. Oh, surviving R Kelly. Surviving R Kelly. The last night it was basically surviving P Diddy. Oh, wow. Whoa. I didn't see it. Dude, that guy's got issues. I'd say. Holy cow. I'd say. He's done. But not ashy though. Definitely not ashy. All right. More deal breakers right around the corner on the cap and J Good morning show. Hold the meat. Truth of the matter is you're listening to cap and J hood on ESPN 1000 weekdays, seven to 10 a.m. But it'll last a lifetime. It may only be three hours a day, but it'll last you a lifetime deal breakers. Here's Kevin Z pack. All right. Let's get back into it. Let's say in another lifetime, you guys aren't radio big wigs. Let's say you're a hiring manager and any profession you'd like. Well, if you weren't doing this hoodie, what would you be doing? I'd be at a shopping center. I'd be a shopping center manager. Let's just say that. Okay. Let's just do that. Let's put it that way. All right. That's a desperate need of some new recruits at the job, right? You're getting all these resumes and you're not really feeling it. Not many qualified candidates, then all of a sudden you get this resume and just notch out of the park. This bell is perfectly qualified. He's got all the experience in the world. So you schedule a phone call, blows you away on the phone. He sounds great. He knows his stuff. He's great. Hey, you can't wait to get this gentleman hired. So you set up the zoom interview, right? Yeah. You hop on zoom, camera shows up. You look at this guy's face. He looks like he got his ass kicked. He's got two black eyes, his nose is swollen. He's got scratches all over his face. You say, Hey, what happened? He's like, Oh, I fell off a screw, I got a scooter accident or something. It's no big deal. And he's a great candidate. You love him. You need him in. But it's a little fishy that he looks like he got the crap kicked out of him. What has this guy been getting into? Do you hire him? Do you still consider him for the job, or is this a deal breaker? Well, it's a job interview cap, and it's more than the resume. It's the appearance, right? So do you go, all right, I got to get to the bottom of this. You have a follow up interview to see if he's healed up, or are there more beatings, right? You want to know why your appearance looks this way. What happened? You're doing resume, but it looks like that you were in the accident, because you'd want to know that, I think, out of the box from the beginning, wouldn't you? Right. Okay. They could beat you up. Is this something at home? Is this in a bar? I've got to have to know more about where he was, that his ass kicked. So you didn't get the job at Odyssey, did you Kevin? So, for a while, I'm just looking at that face. So it doesn't stop me from hiring the person, but I do want to know the story. Do I have to make the judgment like then and there whether I'm going to hire the person or that? You're probably fairly in need of somebody in that role, desperate need. You are short of bodies. Need to get somebody in quick. That guy or I'll do it. Seriously. It's got to be one or the other, but here's the missing ingredient. What is the story? Why does he look like that? He claims it was just an accident on a scooter or a bicycle. Tumbled down a mountain or a side street, perhaps. As daddy, how would he handle it if you walked in for a producing job and your face is all banged up? What happened to you? Well, he was expecting Janet Jackson and Freddie Jackson showed up. It's probably going to be a little bit of an issue. That's definitely a difference, that is for sure. So I don't think it's a deal breaker, Kevin. I'd have to know more. Yeah. And I probably lean more on his references. Mm-hmm. Wow. Let me ask you a question about this Z-pack character that came in an interview with me. He's got a good resume, but his face is all banged up. What happened? He's a good dude. He fell off a scooter. You can trust me. He's a good guy. I am sturling references, I'll have you know. Good. Mulligan on the top of it, huh? He's a good guy! Dustin on that? Why do we have to go there, or are we just doing deal breakers? I'll do it well. This is what it is. Hashtag free haul. I would say cap that it's not a deal breaker for me. I think it'd be, if I found out more, I mean that resume must be impeccable. It's the reason why he's in the zoom, it's the reason why we're talking, because this guy could fill the bill. Yeah, I would do more reference checking, for sure. And that is deal breaker. A lot of fun. Right here on a Thursday edition right here on Cap and Jhood, Kevin better next time, better look next time on that scooter, on that scooter or that job opportunity. Alright, you move on from Kevin Tyson to Tom Thayer, who will join us coming up next. We'll get his thoughts about the Bears in our matchup against Jacksonville. Hopefully they don't sell almonds in London. That's in two minutes on Cap and Jhood.
