I'm Richard Armstrong, back with season two of the podcast, Curse of Miss America.
We're talking to participants, whistleblowers, and people who say Miss America didn't live up to their promises. He looks and he goes, you don't look like he suffered an eating disorder. I never received scholarship, I made a face for my student loans. Maybe this is the meta question for the podcast. Why does Miss America at this point?

Very excited to have Bob Costes coming on the radio show. Taylor, are you excited for Costes?
This is special. What a special day. Bob Costes, one of the all-time great broadcasters is going to join us here in about 15 minutes. You wouldn't want Bob Costes on any other day besides a day after a great World Series game. Yes. We'll talk baseball with him poor Dan Meyer
three-hounds away from winning a World Series. Let's talk J.J. McCarthy here. What is going on here with J.J. McCarthy and him not wearing eye black against the Texans?
So a lot of fans noticed this. When J.J. McCarthy took the field against the Texans, they were like, he had the signature look when he was at Michigan overdoing the eye black and he did not have it against the Texans. And people were like, what's he doing? Apparently the reason why he didn't wear eye black against the Texans is because the quarterback for the Texans, CJ Shroud, played at Ohio State, and this is a tradition for J.J. McCarthy.
Going back to his Michigan days rooted in his hatred for Ohio State, he wants, he doesn't wear eye black against former Ohio State quarterbacks because he wants them to look him directly in the eyes. What a weird guy. This J.J. McCarthy, man. He's got some stones for a guy who hasn't done a whole lot in the NFL.
So J.J. McCarthy grew up a diehard Ohio State fan and he claims that Ryan Day promised to not accept another quarterback's commitment before the end of the summer of 2019, but they accepted Kyle McCord's commitment in April and McCarthy felt betrayed. So he deliberately, during his time in Ann Arbor, stopped wearing eye black against Ohio State because he wanted them to see him clearly. So Ryan Day could look him right in the eye. Yeah. And you're like, J.J. McCarthy, like he has a screw loose,
but the record kind of backs it up where he was three and O against Ohio State at Michigan and nobody really gave them a chance this week against the Texans to where now I'm starting to wonder, am I too high on J.J. McCarthy because can J.J. McCarthy bottle up this hatred every week, the hatred that he has for Ohio State? What I'm starting to wonder is if the eye black is getting in the wet. That is such a great point because J.J. McCarthy in that game against the Texans
made throws that we have not seen him even come close to competing to completing. And what wasn't he wearing? I was exact. And when he beat Michigan three times, what wasn't he wearing? Why is he wearing eye black against anyone?
But do you have concerns? Say he goes back to wearing the eye black and maybe the eye black is not the issue. Right. He has to find a way to bottle up his hatred for Ohio State. It's almost like the water boy.
Remember Bobby Boucher? He would envision the guy who talked crap about his mom every time. Even if it wasn't going against that. He would do that to get himself to a very angry place where he would tear that guy's head off. Like J.J. McCarthy, I know the Giants have a buy this week, but when J.
J.J. McCarthy comes out of the next the next the next by week and it's against the Eagles Sunday, November 8th game. Devonta Smith. No, he's Alabama. Look, I'm thinking of the Ohio State guy who's on that team.
I think when he sees Nick Sirianni, he just has to imagine it's Ryan Day. So what you're saying in the spirit of the water boy, Bobby Boucher is that J.J. McCarthy needs to go into every game envisioning, imagining that the opposing team's head coach is Ryan Day. He's always playing against Ryan Day. It's where he's had the most success in his career.
And the opposing quarterback is O.J. J.J. Stroud. Yes, dude. J.J. McCarthy was basically left for dead in Minnesota where everybody wrote him
a letter to the Giants. And even when he comes to the Giants, it's like, oh, they have James Winstain. Will he get a chance? And then he gets a chance on Sunday and he looks like a completely different quarterback. One that I think that like best case scenario went when the Vikings drafted him out of Michigan.
That was the quarterback they envisioned having. Yes. Literally. He looked like a different quarterback with the wide black. It's totally different person with the high black.
It's too much. Let's even when he wears it. If he wants to go back to it, that's why I'd never go back to it again. I'm with you. I would imagine every coach to be Ryan Day and every quarterback to be C.J.
Stroud and every week to be Michigan in Ohio State. That's what I would do to get myself to an angry place. I'm J.J. McCarthy. If he goes back to it, though, and he shouldn't, but if he does, he's got to tone it down.
He just put one line under one eye, one line under the other eye and just go play football, man. Yeah. When did that start becoming a trend with people in football where it used to be like the strips. Remember the strips you put under? Of course.
And then the Giants quarterback room is like the prime example for I Black, where you have J.J. McCarthy overdoing it under both eyes. And then Jackson Dart has the Star Wars scar. I'd like just be a quarterback. Just be a quarterback.
It feels like until you win a Super Bowl, just go two strips if you really need I Black. Put it on the pole if you're three and oh against Michigan without the eye black. Should you ever go back to the eye black again? That feels like that should come back 100%. Why would you?
I mean, why would you go back to it? I know he wants to look intimidating. I know he's a different person off the field than he is on the field and he gets himself to a crazy place, but it seems like getting himself to a crazy place ain't working. Just get yourself to a crazy place where you think you're playing Ohio State every weekend and do away with the eye black. That's it.
I think that's the trick for J.J. McCarthy. I think the Giants are going to win that division. I really do. I mean, Stu, after watching the Monday Night Football game, Eagles Cowboys, band teams, I feel even better about the Giants.
It's the magic number you're looking at the NFC standings right now. It feels like the Giants magic number is going to be getting to nine wins. Yes. And then if you get to nine wins, the Cowboys have to one up you because you have the tiebreaker with them as it currently stands. And if you look at the Cowboys schedule, it's hard to imagine them getting to 10 wins.
It really is. I mean, it's tricky. It's a difficult schedule. The problem that you run into, it's hard to imagine any team in that division getting to 10 wins. Well, you thought it would be the Eagles.
Yes. And somehow the team that you feel the most confident about right now is John Harbaugh and just the culture that he brings and the stability that he brings to New York. It's amazing about this division. And it's amazing because the Cowboys have the most ability a quarterback at least for right now. But I don't think the Giants, once Jackson Dart went down, ever anticipated being in a position where they might have the second best quarterback in that division.
And yet here we are. And now if you take off the eye black, he might be better the Dak Prescott. I mean, it's incredible. And all the people I said this yesterday who wanted to run Joe Shane out of town, guess what? He saved your season.
He picked up the foam. He called the quarterback Whisperer and gave up a fifth round pick to get a quarterback. It was saving your season. So I know camp's got to go ahead a little revival in the game against the Texans. But if I'm Joe Shane today, yep, I'm getting on the phone, catch on the table.
They're getting Tony power there. Straight in that running back room. And go for it. The culture trading, everyone and guys are asking out. You see that?
Guys who they're not even wanting the trader saying, hey, we want out of here. Jonathan Taylor hasn't done it yet, but he will. Or let his agent do the talking for him, which is probably the better route for Jonathan Taylor. So interesting. JJ McCarthy, never did I think we would have a discussion about not wearing eye black.

I'm Walter Isaacson, host of the new podcast, The Builders.
Right now, I'm living through an AI arms race. So I went directly to the people shaping that future. Anyone must, Gerry Ohamane, Alex Carr, Faith A. Lee, Homer Lucky because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe, what they feel and where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying that the cliche thing about the way to predict the future is to create it.
Well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans? They're brilliant, controversial.
And they're already shaping the future. The question is, who's imagination do we want to live in? This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. According to the Builders, on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. From more than a century, Miss America sold the country a fantasy.
Well, are you ready ladies? Here we go. But over the past decade, the crown's been slipping. They said goodbye to swimsuits now. Hello to lawsuits.
I'm Brigitte Armstrong. Last season, we took you inside the world of America's next top model. Now I'm back with season two of this podcast, Curse of Miss America, investigating the rise, fall and uncertain future of one of America's most iconic institutions. The Miss America patent. I never received scholarship money to pay for my student loans.
When you look at me and goes, you don't look like you suffered a needing disorder. It's great, but it looks too ethnic. It's a story the Miss America organization really doesn't want to sell. An exploitation of all of Miss America's is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself. Listen to the courage for Miss America on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
There are thousands of podcasts that can tell you how to better yourself. Get Works with Kyle Brew is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptides and boundaries, taking supplements, making your better, getting closure, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts. But if you're interested in blackmail, love, bomb and cloning yourself or getting revenge, then we've got a little something something for a dastardly individual like you. Take a listen to some of the incredible advice we've given so far.
Fake a back injury. Get the straight hand up your alcohol consumption. Only women should be allowed to have guns. Kill them. Kill them.
Kill them. Listen, it's already over. I'm all about lying if it's something that really happened. The next time a bear is running at you, you just calmly stop what you're doing, you look the bear in the eye and you say this isn't you. Do not preserve relationships.
You don't need them. You only need one thing and that's the Get Works podcast. You're going to get worse with Kyle Pruehne, iHeartRadioApp.com or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty.
We've been trying to figure out how to describe what is Armstrong and Getty on demand for many years. I'm going to give it a shot. So most media is either a gender driven. They intentionally lead parts out or they lie to you. They're so shallow.
And boring. You don't learn anything anyway. We try to get to the bottom of the stories that are shaping our worlds and help you understand what's actually happening. The Armstrong and Getty show practically perfect in every way. I really like you guys.
So I've been listening for over 10 years. I'll always be an editor and editor for it. The show is a collection of silly, serious and irreverent musings of the day. It's officially balanced with more than just a pinch of sarcasm. Whether it's on the left or the right.
If somebody does something or says something stupid, they're going to call it out. And I love that. I love it. I love it. I love the great work.
I'm rocking with Angie. So I'm going to try sometimes entertaining you learn something. Listen, Armstrong, you get the on demand on the iHeartRadioApp podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. He's been one of the defining voices in sports for generations, bringing us the biggest moments in baseball, the Olympics, and so many other major sporting events today. He continues to bring his knowledge and perspective to fans through NBC Sports and MLB Network.
He's a master storyteller. I love him. He's Bob Costas, one of the greatest broadcasters of all time. And he joins us right now. Bob, thanks for doing this.
We appreciate you coming on here. You got us. Thanks. Maybe I should just walk out without introduction. Just let that bring a curtain down.
Thank you. We were debating what do you what's the first thing on the resume for Bob Costas? What do you fancy yourself as? Because we were saying it's baseball without question, right? Yeah, I guess baseball, the Olympics would be a close second.
The Olympics brings whoever the host is. Mike Toreko now, he's doing an outstanding job. It brings us to the widest possible audience. I hear a lot over the years that I bet you that Toreko has heard it and Jim McKay in the past heard it. I'm not that much of a sports fan, but I love the Olympics.
So you're talking to hardcore sports fans who know you from the NBA and baseball and the NFL, but you're also talking to people who really don't watch sports outside the context of the Olympics. So it's a whole different kind of approach. Jim McKay told me when I was on the verge of hosting my first Olympics, remember, it's a number of things, including it's a prime time mini series, which it really is. It's a travelogue. It's a global event.
And most of these events, let's face it, you put the pole vault on in June in a non-Olympic year on a Saturday afternoon. It's not going to get much of a rate. But if an American is involved in the Catalan and whatever it is, people are trans-fixed by that because it's the Olympics. It's not fair to compare that to others. But now the answer, the long-winded answer ends with, yes, baseball is my favorite, but hey, the NBA and the Jordan era and the 90s on NBC.
Pretty good. Hard to be bad. Hard to be that indeed. Did you find yourself feeling bad? I know you try to stay neutral, Bob, but as a baseball fan, did you find yourself feeling bad for Brewer fans last night?
I'm excited we get more baseball, but they were three outs away from winning that World Series, man. Yeah, three outs away, but it's not as crushing because they've got such a cushion and they got Mizarowski going tonight. Right. And should they lose? If you're just looking for storylines, assuming a Brewer victory here, ultimately, if they should lose tonight, then they went out at home.
Right. You know, under the watchful days of the Bob Euchar statue, you know, and the whole thing. In that sense, it's even better. Bob, I know they've lost yesterday, but are you surprised by how easy the Brewers have made this postseason look up until this point? A little bit.
But remember the National League, with all due respect to the race, who won 98 games, but the National League is much stronger at present than the American League. So the Brewers won 103 in the National League, and the Brewers swept the two-time defending champion Dodgers. Now, a number of the games that they won were close against the Padres, against the Dodgers had to come back from four down of the four games in this series. There was the Blah in Game 3, and the other three games are one run games. So it isn't as if the Brewers are crushing the opposition, but they have only lost two games in this postseason.
So they were the best team in baseball throughout the regular season, and they've been the best team in October. Bob, big picture here. Where do you think we're headed in terms of labor negotiations? You have two small market teams in the World Series, and Dodgers didn't make it, but they made it to the NLCS. But we still have a system where the Brewers will never trade for Tariq's go-ble.
The Dodgers will always go and get school-ble. So where do you think we're headed here? Big picture with baseball? Yeah, and in fairness, as resourceful as the Brewers have been, and you have to give teams like the Brewers and the Warriors and the Guardians a whole lot of credit for that, everyone knows that when Contreras's contract comes up, the Brewers, even if they're World Champions at the time, probably can't keep them. Can they keep Tariq?
He's on the contract, I think, to the end of the decade. But ultimately, they traded Freddie Peralta not because they wanted to get rid of him, but because they knew they couldn't keep him in free agency. The Mets can sign anybody they want, but apparently they can't make good use of everybody that he's signed because Peralta was terrible with the Mets, and then all of a sudden, with the exception of his World Series outing this week, he's been terrific with the Rays. So when you look at the Brewers, they're already planning. They've got a great farm system.
They're already looking ahead. Can we keep this guy? Can we keep that guy? We know they have Cooper Pratt, who is a rookie, and we could have in the World Series winning home run last night. We know they have him for a number of years, but that's part of life to your point when you're the Brewers, when you're the Rays, and that is disconcerting to a fanbase.
When they know, hey, we can't keep our guys, no matter how much we love them, no matter how well they've done, the bigger money is someplace else, and that's part of what this upcoming labor battle is going to be about. Everybody knows that we'll be a lockout on December 1st, and everybody expects it to last a long time, and I don't think anybody who's followed it would be surprised if a sizable number of games aren't lost next season. But I've been saying this in Smith's season, and maybe you guys have too. If the Yankees had met the Dodgers, let's say, in the World Series, it would have strengthened the owners argument about the need for a salary cap and floor in the court of public opinion. But now in three of the four teams are small market, low payroll teams, three of the four in the LCS, and both in the World Series are small market teams.
In the court of public opinion, it helps the players associations argument. But the truth is, the arguments are going to be the same once they roll up their sleeves and sit down at the bargaining table. Bob, I've wondered this for a while. I'm not certain I've ever asked you this. You make it look so easy.
You make it sound so easy when you're calling games. And I'm just wondering, the most nervous Bob Kosis has been before calling a big game. Do you get nervous before calling big games? You know, in truth, I got a little nervous the last couple of seasons with TBS. Okay.
When I wasn't making it look so easy, you know, every there's, you get to a point where it rests and it doesn't quite turn out the way it almost always used to. Right. Prior to that, I think, you know, I was certainly nervous the first time I went on the air for NBC in 1980. I was 28 years old and it looked like I was 15 and outside saying, Lewis, nobody knew who I was. And so I was trying too hard to sound authoritative.
And I've come across on YouTube. People who sent me like, here's a game between LSU and Kentucky that you called with Al McWhire and Billy Packard. And I hadn't even thought about this in more than 40 years. And I'm watching it and I'm thinking, you know what, on a certain level, this Kosis kid was damn good because I didn't stumble. I had all the information, but I'm trying to sound like I'm older and more authoritative.
So I was like, I'm a wild child. Come on, I'm a makur. What am I? Ted Baxter? I knew, looking back at that, I realized that I was not 100% confident.
Guys like Packard, Maguire made me feel confident because they didn't act like who's this kid where's Dick Enberg? They were really supportive. Yes. You know, what Maguire always had nickname for people if you like you and he immediately dubbed me Yellow Pages because he thought I had to sit on a couple of phone books to see up over the microphone. Yes.
So, you know, I had a little bit of success. By the time I had a year under my belt, I wasn't nervous anymore. But then I was nervous again. The first time I hosted Primetime in the Olympics, which was 1992 in Barcelona, you know, I knew that I was a pretty accomplished broadcaster. But I also knew I was following the footsteps of Jim McKay and that this was, as I mentioned earlier, a very much different audience, almost global audience.
And I didn't want to mess it up and luckily it went okay. In an odd way, the nickname Yellow Pages made you feel good, made you feel part of the family, right? Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
Hey, look, it is what it is. I'd rather be five six. I now come to five six. I used to be five six and five eight. That's what it was.
And so I rounded it up fairly to five seven, right? But now you lose a little as you get older and it's like five six and a quarter. So to be honest, I got to, you know, round it down. But I'd rather be five six or five seven in a reasonably good shape. Yes.
That's what we told about the round with a gun. Plus they kept putting me on TV. So what's the problem? Yes. Bob, I've been saying five 10 my entire life.
I'm the furthest thing from five 10. So you're entitled. You're entitled. Thank you. I never wanted to be listed as seven feet, right?
Even though he probably was. That sounded like, you know, I don't know what made him seem. I don't want to use it as a disparaging word, but he made him uncomfortable to be listed seven feet, which he really was. So he always had time. So it's like 11.
Yes, buddy. Bob, when you're hosting primetime in the Olympics in 92, that felt like reaching the pinnacle of sports broadcasting. What's the furthest away you ever felt from that moment at a sporting event? Interesting. The furthest, like this isn't the pinnacle.
Yeah. Like I'm like, hey, I'm Bob Gosses. What am I doing here? Well, you know, that's worth considering, isn't it? You know, once I got to NBC, you know, I got only, you know, once I was established, I only got plump assignments.
Yes. You know, I wasn't that associated with hockey, even though I did minor league hockey when I was still in college in the old Eastern League. But when NBC got the winter classic, I brought it on the air from Buffalo. The great Doc Emric is calling it, but I brought it on the air. And I wasn't that much of a horse racing expert, but I knew how to host a big event.
And so when they got the Kentucky Derby, I hosted the Derby for like 15 or 16 years. But what I always was careful to do, I never pretended the expertise I didn't have. And I said to the producers, for example, at the Derby, I can paint a big picture for you and I can do interviews for you. But I'm not going to pick up the racing form and start talking to Jerry Bailey about why I like, you know, this horse and the Derby. Because even if I memorize something that would sound okay, I'd be asking the audience.
And I think that helped me. Whenever I was in an area, and inevitably you wind up with that in the Olympics, I'm not a figure skating expert. I'm not an expert at any of those individual sports for the most part, but that wasn't my role. It wasn't Jimmy K's role. It's not Toreka's role now.
My role was to paint a big picture and be a good generalist to know the history of the Olympics, to know the background of the host nation and city, and to be familiar with the events that were most likely to be on in prime time. And the two dozen or so Olympians, the Americans or not, who were most likely to be the focus in prime time. And the other facility you have to have is inevitably something not expected is going to happen. It's going to be a great and it's even quicker now back when I started with thick binders of research and now it's all at your fingertips on a laptop. So somebody personally does an incredible thing that I've never heard of.
Boom, they give it to me. And what you have to be able to do is in five minutes, look at this, make some sense of it, and turn it into a narrative. Right. That's a skill that the Olympic host has to have. McKay had it.
Tareko had it. I hope that I had it. Has it. Tareko has it. If you have been better at it, Bob, do you watch like the rest of us when you're watching USA Canada play hockey?
Do you like the rest of us sit at home and marvel at what a great job Mike Tareko and Kenny Albert are doing during that broadcast? Yes. I am a fan of good broadcasting. You know, I guess there's probably a handful of people in the business who look at others who do similar things as rivals or they don't root for them to succeed. I've never had a thimble's worth of that feeling about anybody.
I was always very respectful of those who preceded me. And I hope that I've been encouraging and helpful if they asked to those who followed me. There are so many good young baseball announcers now. And they are better than I was the last few years. They're not necessarily better than I was in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
Maybe as good. Yes. I recognize that it's no longer my time. You know, watching Joe Davis or Kevin Brown or Brian Anderson, I'm leaving some people out who are very, very good young broadcasters and I'm happy for them. And you know, say the same thing.
You know, Mike Tareko got the first Bob Costa scholarship at Syracuse University in 1987. And I flew up to Syracuse to meet him because I wanted to make sure that the first recipient was on a knucklehead. And it turned out he was anything but a knucklehead. It turned out to be one of the best network television broadcasters ever. So I'm happy that I passed the baton to him.
And you know, he's not the same as I was. I wasn't the same as Jimmy K was. There's overlap. But if you try to copy somebody else, then it's never good because you become a palimitation of the other guy. So we were each good in our own way.
Some of it is inevitably the same because the duties do overlap. But if there isn't something distinctive about the way you do it, then you're not going to last very long. Bob, so my daughter just graduated from Syracuse University. I did the show from the Newhouse School. They let me in there.
Bob, I finally made it to Newhouse. They allowed me inside the facility. And I realized they're heading down first. They're making it go through a magnetometer. Yeah, they did.
But I also realized, man, if I had teachers and facilities like that would be the best. I'd be better at this, Bob. It's a super. It's a super. I'm good.
Yes, it's a super nice school. Mike Tureko made the commencement speech. I say all that to ask you this. Tureko is a friend. Kenny Albert's a very good friend.
Sean McDonough's a friend. We had him all on. That was up there at Newhouse. And I want to put you in a bad spot. But the Mount Rushmore broadcasters that graduated from Newhouse.
What would it be for Bob Costas? You're on. That is you had to end on this. This is going to go viral. I got something.
I got something like a handful of people happy and it's going to piss off a bunch of people. McDonough answered it. I mean, how do you want to? I don't know. This is not his answer.
I'm going to see Marvin about a week for dinner. But I'm not sure if Marv graduated from the Newhouse school. Wow. I know he attended Syracuse. Right.
I'm looking for reasons to eliminate guys without this and that. If you don't want to answer it, it's my Bob. Tureko is definitely on there. I think that Sean McDonough is not underrated, but he's under celebrated. Everybody who pays attention knows how good he is.
He's good at four different sports. He's good at hockey, basketball, baseball and football. And has been so for a very long time. You can throw I and Eagles name into the mix. The first one, the Newhouse school didn't exist.
But he was a three-sport star at Syracuse and became a wonderful groundbreaking radio broadcaster is Marty Glickman. The award that's given out in here to an outstanding Newhouse graduate in sports is called the Marty Glickman award. Then Dick Stockton. Wow. Len Berman is receiving that award next week.
And Len's fame was mostly as a local broadcaster. Did the Big East Games nationally and some other things for NBC back in the day. But mostly as an anchor, sports anchor on the 11 o'clock news in New York and before that in Boston. Now I've named about 33 guys. Well if you're Matt Rushmore, if you want all 33 on there you can have it, okay?
I'm getting rid of that call. That was Ted Cappell asking to be mentioned even though he's not a sports dancer. But he wants to serve his. And maybe it was the ghost of Dick Clark. I don't know.

If there's a million times more digital intelligence than the race biological intelligence, it's hard to imagine humans being in control in that scenario. I'm Walter Isaacson, host of the new podcast The Builders. Right now I'm living through an AI arms race.
So I went directly to the people shaping that future. In one must, Dario, Amine, Alex Scott, Fae, Lee, Farmer, Lucky. Because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe. What they feel. And where they think this is all headed.
Silicon Valley is always saying the cliche thing about the way to predict the future is to create it. Well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans?
They're brilliant, controversial. And they're already shaping the future. The question is, who's imagination do we want to live in? This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. Listen to the builders on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts.
From one in a century, Miss America's Open Country of Fantasy. Well, are you ready ladies? Here we go. But over the past decade, the crown's been slipping. They said goodbye to swimsuits now. Hello to lawsuits.
I'm Brigitte Armstrong. Last season, we took you inside the world of America's Next Top Model. Now I'm back with season two of this podcast, Curse of Miss America. And best at getting the rise, fall, and uncertain future of one of America's most iconic institutions. The Miss America Pageant.
I never received scholarship, I need to pay for my student loans. Can you look at the thing that goes, you don't look like you suffered in an eating disorder? It's great, but it looks too ethnic. It's a story the Miss America organization really doesn't want us to do. An exploitation of all of Miss America's is treated by the Miss America organization as an attack on Miss America itself.
Listen to the courage of Miss America on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. There are thousands of podcasts that can tell you how to better yourself. Yet worse with Kyle Brew is not one of those podcasts. So if you're interested in getting thinner, going to therapy, starting peptides and boundaries, taking supplements, making your better, getting closure, then I would humbly recommend other podcasts.

The EFL Cup is the Karaboo Cup. It features 92 teams from England's top four professional divisions. The Premier League has 20 teams. The next level is the championship which is 24 teams. The next level is league one, 24 teams. The last level is league two, 24 teams. So all 92 clubs are eligible for the EFL Cup.
But the Premier League teams entering the later rounds because they don't want the Manchester United, the Liverpool is having to go up against these Joe Schmoes. But Fleetwood Town advanced to face Arsenal when Arsenal is getting into the tournament. And then they knocked them out in front of their stadium of just 5,000 people. So they keep it out. So they keep it was a home game? It was a home match for Fleetwood Town. I think once they have the match ups it's just random. Who's the home team in it?
Okay, so this is confusing to me. So they're all in the same league but they keep the better teams around because they want the big brands in the later rounds. They don't want to risk an upset here. They're all in the same tournament. So they're not all in the same league as Fleetwood Town and Arsenal would never play each other in the regular season. They would only play each other in this cup. Like the NFL equivalent. I have an NFL equivalent to it. To put this in football terms for you.
Okay, thank you. Let's say the NFL is the Premier League. Some would say we're discussing football. But anyway, go ahead. Yes.
So let's say the NFL is the Premier League. College football, D1 football is the championship. The second division. D2 football is league one. The third division. D3 football is league two. The fourth division. Arsenal losing to Fleetwood Town is the equivalent in this game.
Yes. Is the equivalent in this scenario to the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks losing to a sub 500 D3 team. What? Yes. Yes. Get out of here. Like before the match, I think the pre-match odds. Arsenal to advance was like minus 2000. Right. So you have to bet $2,000 just to win $100 back and then Fleetwood Town on the Money Line was like plus 3000. Alright, so this would be like the Dodgers losing to a single leg. Yes. Are you kidding me?
How did Fleetwood get home field advantage here? I don't get it. If you want Arsenal to advance, you don't want to run the risk of them losing a match like they did to Fleetwood Town. Why is Arsenal not playing at home? I mean, so I'm pretty sure in the EFL Cup or the Caribou Cup, they draw teams to see what the matchups are. So once you get to like the round of 16, they'll have a day where it's just announcing the upcoming match ups where they pull out of like a lottery thing. And it's like the first team is Arsenal. And then the second team and the second team, I guess, or the first team in this scenario, whatever team is drawn first or second is going to be the designated home team. Right. So Fleetwood Town was just the designated home team in this scenario.
And so the scenes for Fleetwood Town, their crowd was going, their crowd was buzzing like they're they're storming the field after a game. Basically. Yes. Well, they should. They just beat the Yankees. I mean, they beat the Mets. So they'd be and I say the Mets only because the Mets spend the billion dollars and have very good. Just like Arsenal.
The competition is single elimination. So it gets to the scenario where some of these teams have to prioritize like, do we want to focus on the the our Premier League season like Arsenal trying to defend their title from last year or or do we want to put out a strong team? By all accounts, Arsenal did put out a pretty strong team when they went to Fleetwood Town. Every time of your fleet with town, I just think a Fleetwood Max. So to what or Tommy Fleetwood. Yes. So Fleetwood is a town that put together their best soccer players, essentially. Yeah.
It's like the example of like imagine like again, the minor league example is great. Like if I had a guess this Fleetwood Town, very few players on that team are playing soccer like full time professionally. Like, like I think they're, they're driving Uber on the side. They're doing door dash on the side, whatever the English equivalents of those are. Yes. I guess they have. Do they have DoorDash? Well, I don't know. It's a good question.
But what you said, they have door dash. He said so confidently. Yes. And I'm now hoping they don't have door dash. Okay. But you're saying it's like the early 1900s where you know, Babe Ruth would play baseball and then the make ends meeting would be a milkman.
Yes. Can we get someone from Fleetwood Town on anyone? We want to crown them our champions, our soccer champion. I'm rooting for them for the right. I'm a soccer fan now. Fleetwood Town has made me a soccer fan. I mean, I love the beautiful game.
Unreal upset. Wait, so did they get Arsenal's best? Did their best players play or did Arsenal take Fleetwood Town too lightly and put in a bunch of scrubs? Which doesn't matter, by the way, their scrubs are pretty good. It's probably better than anyone on Fleetwood Town. Yeah. So Fleetwood is currently 18th in the 4th level of English soccer. Like they're not a good team, even for their standards, where they're playing. Right. My guess is Arsenal held back a couple of punches in their starting lineup where you wouldn't expect them to put out like their best squad, like they're going up against, you know, the Manchester United or the Manchester City.
Because there's never really been a great example of them not needing to. And then you have scenes like last night in the English soccer, man. Yeah, this is a lesson to be learned here. Don't take Fleetwood Town lightly. Do you feel like Fleetwood Town much like the Knicks where you said where I said I'm good with the Knicks never winning a championship again? Do you think the fans of Fleetwood Town and the team are OK if they never win another soccer game again because they be Arsenal?
They have this for the rest of their lives. I was thinking about this too when I'm watching Fleetwood Town because their supporters were like fully invested into this where it's like I don't understand the English soccer fandom where how do you grow up to be a Fleetwood Town fan? Well, you have no choice. I mean, but like you would have to imagine it would be like us trying to like say, Oh, I'm not a Dodger fan. I'm a Chihuahua fan or like a single team. Like how do you even find those games on TV just because you grew up in the area? That's the team you sport. And I guess you're just hoping for the off chance that one day they could get promoted.
I guess where is Fleetwood Town? Do we know? I mean, it's in Lancaster. All right. Lancaster. Say it on Mike. I don't know how to say that. Lancaster. I think English name. Yeah. What's like land. Land cashier, but it's definitely not like a shot. Well, it could be like a shot. We have no idea.
I want to make a trip there. I want to do a live remote from their next game. So they advance and Arsenal is done. It's the biggest upset in the history of the sport. Yeah, it's upset.
This is like the United States hockey team beating the Russians, correct? Yeah, where no matter who Fleetwood Town plays in the next round. Yeah, it's like to your point earlier. They're fans. They haven't made they'll always have this one night in October.
Right. But do you think there's someone do an afternoon drive in Fleetwood Town? Oh, they're buzzing today. The phone lines are open. I'm getting 30 shares. I know. But now there's expectations and congratulations to the guys getting 30 shares in Fleetwood Town. Land cash there. I think I have no idea.
But congratulations to those guys. Big day. Biggest day in the history of sports radio there. I guarantee. Do you think Taylor because their drive is afternoon drive host? Okay. Celebrate when things are going well and complain when they're not. If God forbid. Fleetwood Town is down for nil in their next match. Do you think the afternoon drive host are going to let him hear it? I mean, I don't think you can. I think your players are still drunk on the title. It's like the Kelbringes coming back. Yeah, but we've been Arsenal. I mean, you find the manager? What do you do there? You have to do something if you're on sports radio? It's soccer like they'll fire a manager at a whim just because they want to fire a manager that day.
Would you rather be a host in Fleetwood Town today? Or would you rather be a host in London where Arsenal plays because even if they weren't playing their best squad, right? Those hosts are ripping Arsenal today. Wow. That's a great question. I mean, you get more calls if you're doing the show in Arsenal. You know, celebrations don't tend to give you a lot of calls, but firing a coach and questioning a team in their heart and their character and if they play their best players and if they took a team lightly. Listen, the guys in Fleetwood. All right, they're getting 20 shares. The guys who do radio. Where's Arsenal London in London?
I am telling you right now, 60 shares. 60% of men, 25 to 54 who live in London are listening to Arsenal. I'm not joking when I tell you this Fleetwood Town. Yeah. I could I would imagine you have the funds to buy Fleetwood Town if you want to buy the club. I'm going to buy the club. Wow, that's how we get into soccer. Let's wait for a loss though.
