- 11:30Speaker 2: I don't know how though I move forward not having
- 11:33Speaker 2: Rich in my life every day. That is something I'm
- 11:36Speaker 2: not prepared for. I know, I'm excited for it, but
- 11:40Speaker 2: it's it's bittersweet.
- 11:41Speaker 12: So I don't know.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Confidence level zero to one hundred.
- 11:45Speaker 2: One hundred and one, actually seven hundred and eighty, you know.
- 11:48Speaker 2: So now I'm excited, and you know, Rich is just
- 11:53Speaker 2: such a great interview. He's been in the media realm
- 11:56Speaker 2: for twenty plus years, and it felt like he was
- 11:58Speaker 2: driving this Poda cast where it was almost he was
- 12:01Speaker 2: interviewing y'all as guy has He's quick, and he can
- 12:06Speaker 2: get a little nasty sometimes he can get nasty, and
- 12:08Speaker 2: he's a guy you don't want on your bad side.
- 12:10Speaker 12: I realized, for sure, if you come at him he's
- 12:12Speaker 12: coming at you with three more things.
- 12:14Speaker 6: So I will say to the Ohio boys, you're luckier.
- 12:18Speaker 6: Rich Eyes is not here right now to defend Michigan.
- 12:20Speaker 6: He can only do so much. My brain has taken
- 12:22Speaker 6: too many shots. But rich he's pure blood. Yeah, he's sharp,
- 12:26Speaker 6: he's with it.
- 12:27Speaker 4: He talks about how they got away with it. He
- 12:29Speaker 4: lied like a ugh. I mean ultimately, you guys still
- 12:32Speaker 4: won the national title.
- 12:33Speaker 6: Yeah, and we beat you all forty five to seven.
- 12:36Speaker 4: Yeah, but you guys are signed stealing.
- 12:39Speaker 6: We didn't need to steal signs to do that, brother.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys did. It wouldn't have been that bad.
- 12:45Speaker 4: We would have covered what do you think the score?
- 12:46Speaker 4: We would have covered?
- 12:47Speaker 6: What was it?
- 12:47Speaker 4: What was the one.
- 12:51Speaker 6: We would have covered?

- 13:05Speaker 4: they kind of did. Took that game from US Agrian
- 13:08Speaker 4: Martinez not fumbled the ball. Remember that last drive we
- 13:11Speaker 4: were driving to win?
- 13:12Speaker 6: All right, I know you're right, you're right, you're right,
- 13:15Speaker 6: It's all good.
- 13:16Speaker 4: I'm out of control.
- 13:18Speaker 6: Yeah, so the audience is taking place at this moment.
- 13:21Speaker 6: I will say good news for you is the record
- 13:24Speaker 6: only goes back to I think like day one hundred
- 13:26Speaker 6: and eight was that I don't know the record, the
- 13:29Speaker 6: rich Eison, the Rich ion uh tweeting at him. I
- 13:33Speaker 6: could only find all the way down to like stop
- 13:35Speaker 6: loading after like day one hundred and eight of tweeting
- 13:38Speaker 6: at Riches until he comes home.
- 13:40Speaker 12: I'm impressed, you guy past like seven and fifty.
- 13:43Speaker 6: Oh, I mean that's technology is not great. I mean
- 13:46Speaker 6: I know who I am.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely heavy shot at your brain.
- 13:49Speaker 6: Yeah that's no that that's technology. Yeah, that's technology.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I think he'll be the first to tell you he's
- 13:54Speaker 2: not the most tech savvy guy.
- 13:56Speaker 12: But he's there. He's there, and he's ready to learn.
- 13:58Speaker 6: Yeah, he's eager. I put some work in on this.

- 14:03Speaker 6: we will find out next week on next week's episode.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Oh so it's next week. So, but just to clarify,
- 14:10Speaker 2: as of today, we're done tweeting. Though, because Rich is
- 14:13Speaker 2: on the bus.
- 14:14Speaker 6: I think if you want to tweet at him, you can.
- 14:16Speaker 6: It doesn't but it's not going to change anything.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Today, Today's the final day.
- 14:20Speaker 6: You were just saying, how you're gonna miss rich if
- 14:22Speaker 6: you were to do for the love of the game.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Well tomorrow, I guess technically he's on the bus, so
- 14:27Speaker 2: we'll just make it seven eighty one.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Yeah, why not? Why not?
- 14:31Speaker 2: You'll throw another one up just for I might just
- 14:33Speaker 2: go all the way to the next week, just keep going
- 14:35Speaker 2: past it, go to a thousand, why not.
- 14:40Speaker 12: Yeah, it's for the love of the game.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Always did Did you catch any preseason ball I got
- 14:46Speaker 4: some clips. Absolutely.
- 14:47Speaker 6: I put on the the Titans Last Drive with Will Levis,
- 14:52Speaker 6: and it's preseason, so you're never looking at like score
- 14:54Speaker 6: or anything like that. I was looking at operation, how
- 14:56Speaker 6: guys were handling themselves, like calls and all that. Titan's
- 15:01Speaker 6: got a ball club this year. Titans have a ball club.
- 15:04Speaker 6: Their play calls were good. It was the first time
- 15:06Speaker 6: I think in the last ten years, as Titan fans,
- 15:08Speaker 6: we can all sit there and say, we don't know
- 15:10Speaker 6: what's coming next. A couple of runs, a couple of
- 15:13Speaker 6: passes through a screen in there, some movement. I think
- 15:17Speaker 6: that's gonna be a good ball club. They stay healthy,
- 15:20Speaker 6: they might take the South. I mean DeAndre Hopkins already out,
- 15:29Speaker 6: but it's not looking good. Calvin Ridley, guys, got he
- 15:33Speaker 6: runs like they when you have a performance coach with
- 15:36Speaker 6: you and he's like, this is the the knee action
- 15:37Speaker 6: you want, this is the arm action. That's how he runs. Yeah,
- 15:40Speaker 6: he runs like you watch the Olympians, collar and spears
- 15:43Speaker 6: a good little devil. Have a back there, dude. That's
- 15:47Speaker 6: that's the key.
- 15:47Speaker 2: The receiver corps obviously been the most notable thing for
- 15:50Speaker 2: the Titans.
- 15:50Speaker 12: We have a whole new team.
- 15:52Speaker 2: It feels like on offense, but Taj and Tony it's
- 15:56Speaker 2: just a way different system with Derek not being here.
- 15:59Speaker 2: And I think that is going to be two elite
- 16:02Speaker 2: running backs in the NFL.
- 16:06Speaker 6: Right now, maybe the best duo in the league.
- 16:07Speaker 2: Are saying, I mean maybe top three, potentially potentially number one.
- 16:12Speaker 6: Potentially number one. There was a nice one. I think
- 16:14Speaker 6: it was the first quarter going into the second quarter.
- 16:17Speaker 6: They were kind of on the five yard lind They
- 16:19Speaker 6: were in like a like a an inside zone with
- 16:22Speaker 6: a tight end coming back and it was chigging. He
- 16:24Speaker 6: had a great block and I don't know if it
- 16:26Speaker 6: was Pollard or Spirits, but they made a nice little
- 16:28Speaker 6: jump cut, hit it on the back side for a touchdown.
- 16:31Speaker 6: It was just great to see the movements. Great to
- 16:33Speaker 6: see that movement behind the line of scrimmage, which Derrick
- 16:36Speaker 6: Henry right like he is. There should be a statue
- 16:39Speaker 6: of Derrick Henry at the Titans that was not his
- 16:41Speaker 6: Forte is making those types of cuts in the backfield,
- 16:44Speaker 6: and just.
- 16:44Speaker 4: The boys playing with their hair on fire.
- 16:46Speaker 6: Just playing hard.
- 16:47Speaker 4: I know it's early. I know it's early, but it
- 16:50Speaker 4: seems like this could be one of the more fun
- 16:51Speaker 4: years for the quarterback position. I feel like the young rookies.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Look good, look fantastic.
- 16:59Speaker 4: Caleb Willilliams looked incredible.
- 17:01Speaker 6: I only saw saw him with that great throw on
- 17:04Speaker 6: the sidelines where he moved out to the right and
- 17:06Speaker 6: he threw it.
- 17:06Speaker 4: You didn't see his little Patrick Mahomes screen, No, I
- 17:08Speaker 4: did not see his Patrick Mahomes fare fantastic. Yes, I
- 17:12Speaker 4: think it's going to be an exciting year for quarterback.
- 17:15Speaker 6: Did you see the clip of two guys at practice
- 17:18Speaker 6: at a Bears practice essentially dogging Caleb on his look.
- 17:21Speaker 6: But he's the number one overall pin now they're like,
- 17:23Speaker 6: look at him, zero swag, zero anything. First overall pick.
- 17:27Speaker 6: They seem like they got themselves a little squad here.
- 17:30Speaker 6: There's gonna be a fun Week one Titans versus Bears.
- 17:33Speaker 6: That'll be a fun little get after a game.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Big Cat's already claiming that Caleb Williams is the chosen one.
- 17:39Speaker 6: I'm sure he is, And I like Big Cat keeping
- 17:42Speaker 6: clean slates for everybody. I'm not going to dog with
- 17:45Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears. I'm not going to dog them.
- 17:47Speaker 4: Yeah. I think a lot to be excited about though, But.
- 17:49Speaker 6: I know the early line is like Bears are favored
- 17:51Speaker 6: by four and a half in this game.
- 17:53Speaker 4: I gets the Titans.
- 17:55Speaker 6: I think take Titans money line all day on that one.
- 17:58Speaker 4: The way. I mean, you just look in the North.
- 18:00Speaker 4: If J. J. McCarthy and Caleb Williams with Jared Goff,
- 18:03Speaker 4: Jordan Love, I mean, dude, that's a fun year the
- 18:07Speaker 4: AFC South. You got uh will Levis.
- 18:09Speaker 13: C J.
- 18:10Speaker 6: Stroud, Lawrence Lawrence and Anthony richards Anthony.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Richardson, And if he just that one, It's like, and
- 18:17Speaker 4: I'm part of it too. I'm excited for Anthony Richardson,
- 18:19Speaker 4: but I feel like he has so much hype, Like
- 18:22Speaker 4: he's the most hyped quarterback hasn't done a whole lot yet.
- 18:26Speaker 6: Five games of it was awesome. Yeah, my first five
- 18:29Speaker 6: games were great. It was fun to watch, exciting. One
- 18:32Speaker 6: guy who's falling under the radar, and our man Hovey,
- 18:35Speaker 6: the groom to be has called him out, Spencer Rattler.
- 18:38Speaker 14: From the jump Man. I don't know why nobody was.
- 18:40Speaker 6: Back in Arizona too, in his home state getting after it.
- 18:44Speaker 14: Saw it felt good to be back home.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Just it was cool to see two minutes drill. Yeah,
- 18:48Speaker 4: two minutes drill was nice. Stetson Bennett even next.
- 18:55Speaker 13: B Stetsn't Bennet's thirty.
- 18:59Speaker 4: Well, he's playing in a growl his game now he
- 19:00Speaker 4: looked comfortable.
- 19:02Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I'm happy for him.
- 19:03Speaker 14: But are we're all eyes on Ratler?
- 19:08Speaker 4: Now? What do you think Rattler takes over the QB
- 19:10Speaker 4: spot this year?
- 19:11Speaker 14: Probably like week ten, week eleven.
- 19:13Speaker 7: That seems to be the sweet spot for Derek Carr,
- 19:15Speaker 7: where every single year, no matter what team he's on,
- 19:18Speaker 7: you get to week ten, week eleven, the fans are
- 19:20Speaker 7: ready like, get DC.
- 19:22Speaker 4: Out, damn we'll see.
- 19:24Speaker 13: Wouldn't mind if he sat all year and it started
- 19:26Speaker 13: next year?
- 19:27Speaker 4: Right? Right? Right? Take take a four year to develop,
- 19:29Speaker 4: not get thrown in when like pressure is right weirdly high,
- 19:32Speaker 4: they want the starter out.
- 19:33Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you're calling for a starting quarterbacks head
- 19:35Speaker 6: a week ten, a week eleven, it's probably the season
- 19:37Speaker 6: is not looking great for you guys.
- 19:39Speaker 13: But not with Derek Carr. I feel like they're always
- 19:41Speaker 13: right there.
- 19:42Speaker 4: I was gonna say they were like in it all
- 19:43Speaker 4: year last year because the South wasn't that competitive. Wasn't
- 19:46Speaker 4: that I know you saw, I know you had to
- 19:49Speaker 4: see the clip of Jameis Winston giving a prego speech.
- 19:52Speaker 4: No I didn't, but it's incredible. I mean, he's a
- 19:55Speaker 4: Hall of Famer.
- 19:56Speaker 6: He's a Yeah, he's a Hall of Fame speech giver ballot.
- 20:00Speaker 6: Just watching him in Vrabel's sprint during every practice to
- 20:03Speaker 6: go warm up.
- 20:03Speaker 4: I think you have to put him in the Hall
- 20:04Speaker 4: of Fame just so he can give a speech, just
- 20:07Speaker 4: so he can be at the ceremony and give a speech.
- 20:09Speaker 6: I don't see any problem with that at all. Yeah,
- 20:11Speaker 6: it wouldn't hurt the integrity of those statues at all.
- 20:13Speaker 4: I think everybody would would be on board with it.
- 20:16Speaker 7: Where do you think he goes after football? I feel
- 20:18Speaker 7: like he's either got to be a pastor or a coach.
- 20:21Speaker 6: I would love to see him the pastor. That would
- 20:23Speaker 6: be outstanding.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Yeah. I think he might dabble in some media, but
- 20:28Speaker 4: ultimately I think he'll he'll want to be around the game.
- 20:31Speaker 4: He'll want to be around influencing the next general.
- 20:33Speaker 13: He should write speeches in football movies.
- 20:37Speaker 4: He would have to act. That's the thing about Jamis
- 20:39Speaker 4: is I feel like he's so unique, Like who else
- 20:42Speaker 4: could be Jamis? You know what I mean? If he
- 20:43Speaker 4: writes for somebody else, you don't know how to write
- 20:45Speaker 4: for anybody else.
- 20:46Speaker 15: He knows how to write for himself.
- 20:48Speaker 6: He could definitely play himself in a.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:53Speaker 6: Man, it's exciting having the football season just right around
- 20:57Speaker 6: the corner right there.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Did you catch any of the reps on the new
- 21:00Speaker 4: kickoff rule? Yeah?
- 21:01Speaker 6: I so, I saw the Titans these. It was a
- 21:02Speaker 6: nice little sixty five yard run he did on this
- 21:04Speaker 6: little deal right here. I don't fully understand. You can't.
- 21:07Speaker 6: There's like a little zone between the twenty and the
- 21:11Speaker 6: end zone. If it lands in there and then something happens.
- 21:13Speaker 6: If it doesn't, you can't move to the to the
- 21:15Speaker 6: returner catches it.
- 21:17Speaker 2: My brother Law explained it pretty well. So from where
- 21:19Speaker 2: the kickoff is, it makes kickers not just rely on touchbacks.
- 21:23Speaker 12: If you send it into the back of the end zone, I.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Believe it goes to the forty right, and if you
- 21:28Speaker 2: don't hit it between there's one though, if maybe if
- 21:33Speaker 2: it's short of the twenty to the goal line, it
- 21:36Speaker 2: goes to the forty because there's one stipulation where you
- 21:39Speaker 2: can go all the way to the forty.
- 21:41Speaker 4: I know usually if you kick it out of bounds,
- 21:43Speaker 4: it's it goes out to the forty. Yeah, maybe if it's.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Super has to land in that zone from goal line
- 21:48Speaker 2: to the twenty yard line, which it feels weird right now,
- 21:51Speaker 2: but I do like that kickers are now forced to
- 21:54Speaker 2: be strategic about it and they got to place it there,
- 21:56Speaker 2: and I feel like we're gonna see a lot more returns.
- 21:58Speaker 2: And my favorite thing about it is that kickers are
- 22:01Speaker 2: going to be very involved in plays. They have to
- 22:03Speaker 2: make tackles that I've already seen a few kickers like
- 22:05Speaker 2: have to get in the mix, and I'm ready to
- 22:07Speaker 2: see some some guys lay in the wood.
- 22:09Speaker 12: So I think that'll be fun.
- 22:11Speaker 4: I like it, man, I think it's like as close
- 22:13Speaker 4: to an offensive defensive play as you can get because
- 22:16Speaker 4: you take all the running out of it and sprinting
- 22:18Speaker 4: out of it. Which hats off to those guys who
- 22:20Speaker 4: don't have to just sprint mindlessly for a touchback anymore.
- 22:23Speaker 4: But I'm into it, and.
- 22:27Speaker 6: Yeah, like you break, that's where you get the kicker involved,
- 22:29Speaker 6: like he's essentially just deep hoping to God they get
- 22:33Speaker 6: him down.
- 22:34Speaker 4: I think as it develops too, there'll be more strategy
- 22:37Speaker 4: on the receiving end, trying to like set up blocks differently.
- 22:39Speaker 4: Some will some will fail massively, but I think people
- 22:42Speaker 4: are going to start taking like chances risks to figure
- 22:44Speaker 4: out how they can best set up the Runay, I know.
- 22:47Speaker 6: I love seeing the development of special teams games, just
- 22:50Speaker 6: like the field goal for instance, when he was the
- 22:52Speaker 6: Patriots who did have the guy on the sideline and
- 22:55Speaker 6: he would start running and then he'd see the hand
- 22:57Speaker 6: and then he'd get in there and make them off.
- 22:59Speaker 6: Then you see like four other teams doing it. That's
- 23:01Speaker 6: like the biggest definition of Copycata League is the special
- 23:04Speaker 6: team's realm. You see a little bit of success and
- 23:07Speaker 6: team everybody starts doing it just constantly.
- 23:09Speaker 4: Evolving, yeah, or taking a trick play back from like
- 23:12Speaker 4: eight years ago that happened to him.
- 23:14Speaker 6: They had it like grainy film. They're showing it in
- 23:16Speaker 6: the team em like boys, is we're doing this when
- 23:17Speaker 6: you're thinking there's no fucking way work and then it does.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, well, can you take us kind of in
- 23:22Speaker 2: the mind of a special teams guy? Because in preseason, obviously,
- 23:27Speaker 2: you know, after the first half of a game, as
- 23:29Speaker 2: a fan perspective, you know, people start leaving the stadium,
- 23:32Speaker 2: You're like, whatever, we got a few more games. But
- 23:34Speaker 2: for special team guys in punt formation specifically, I get
- 23:38Speaker 2: super fired up about them because as someone who's undrafted,
- 23:41Speaker 2: it's like they're fighting for their families on these like
- 23:44Speaker 2: one or two reps they get. Can you just like
- 23:46Speaker 2: take us to the mindset where you're like, I need
- 23:49Speaker 2: this rep, I need this tackle to make like a
- 23:51Speaker 2: fifty three man roster.
- 23:52Speaker 6: Take us on a journey. Will we journey journey?
- 23:57Speaker 4: So you're basically saying like it's like unpopular to watch
- 23:59Speaker 4: the specially, you're just saying, like, what is the mindset
- 24:02Speaker 4: of these guys that fringe guys?
- 24:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I had this moment where I was like this
- 24:05Speaker 2: means so much. These guys these one reps and they
- 24:08Speaker 2: kind of fired me up where I'm looking at pump
- 24:10Speaker 2: formations and I'm like, this means a lot more than
- 24:14Speaker 2: a lot of these other guys that got their shoulder
- 24:15Speaker 2: pads off on the sideline. It's like you're probably the
- 24:18Speaker 2: nerves are probably going crazy, and then you know half
- 24:20Speaker 2: the stadium's empty. But for you, it's like this is
- 24:23Speaker 2: the final interview or could be, you know.
- 24:25Speaker 4: So, yeah, So when I was on practice squad the
- 24:28Speaker 4: first year, I would say my knock is I wasn't
- 24:31Speaker 4: very good on special teams because I didn't really do
- 24:33Speaker 4: it in college. But I feel like when you're on
- 24:36Speaker 4: those units and you can say you're a depth player,
- 24:40Speaker 4: I could play linebacker, I could back up either spot,
- 24:42Speaker 4: I could do all those things. So you'll be thrust
- 24:44Speaker 4: into roles of like, hey, you know, can you feel
- 24:47Speaker 4: whether it's right guard, whether we have a need at
- 24:49Speaker 4: left tackle, right wing? Where you can play on the
- 24:52Speaker 4: punting The punt team is the most important unit for
- 24:56Speaker 4: guys who are on the fringe because ultimately that's the
- 24:58Speaker 4: biggest trust. One kickoff you can rundown and hit where
- 25:00Speaker 4: you're not running anymore, So honestly, you're gonna see those
- 25:03Speaker 4: guys who are gunners on punt team. Those guys can
- 25:06Speaker 4: still make their money being gunners on punt team, but
- 25:09Speaker 4: now that kickoff is out of it, you'll have more
- 25:11Speaker 4: of those depth guys who played backup, whether it's tight end,
- 25:14Speaker 4: running back, receiver, linebacker, safety, and those reps on punt
- 25:21Speaker 4: team are the most important reps that you will have
- 25:23Speaker 4: because ultimately you're not being looked at as the guy
- 25:26Speaker 4: who's going to be out there starting on the field.
- 25:28Speaker 4: Where okay, cop, he's a good depth guy, but can
- 25:30Speaker 4: he play special teams? And more specifically, like where can
- 25:33Speaker 4: you play him on punt The more you can do
- 25:35Speaker 4: on punt team, guard, tackle, wing, the better your chances are,
- 25:38Speaker 4: because if you can't play on special teams, it doesn't
- 25:41Speaker 4: matter how good of a backup you are, you won't
- 25:43Speaker 4: be on the starting you won't be on the game
- 25:44Speaker 4: day roster until you can get up to speed on
- 25:46Speaker 4: playing those So those truly are the most important reps
- 25:49Speaker 4: and they get graded insanely detailed with the special teams
- 25:54Speaker 4: coordinator and those guys who are like trying to make
- 25:57Speaker 4: that roster it is legitimately. Can you play multiple spots
- 26:01Speaker 4: on the punt team, that is your best shot at
- 26:04Speaker 4: making the team. If you're a fringe guy, if you're
- 26:07Speaker 4: a gunner, if you can beat double teams, you can
- 26:09Speaker 4: play for a long time. You look at what was
- 26:11Speaker 4: the name Slater. Slater made a career out of that ebner.
- 26:15Speaker 4: He was a big special teams guy. Who knows how
- 26:18Speaker 4: competent they were as backups, but the fact that they
- 26:21Speaker 4: get to play special teams at a very high level
- 26:23Speaker 4: allowed them to have a career at that. If you're
- 26:25Speaker 4: somebody who's more of a depth guy who plays more
- 26:28Speaker 4: on the field, you have to have some level of
- 26:30Speaker 4: competence like playing special teams or you just won't. You
- 26:33Speaker 4: won't play. It is legitimately. You go out there and
- 26:37Speaker 4: all you think to yourself is I need to have
- 26:38Speaker 4: one tackle this game.
- 26:40Speaker 6: And if you sit there as a fan and you
- 26:42Speaker 6: want to watch real football in a preseason, you got
- 26:45Speaker 6: away to that second half because that's when bullets are
- 26:47Speaker 6: truly flying. It is so intense and every every rep
- 26:51Speaker 6: does mean everything to those guys, and it sucks when
- 26:54Speaker 6: you see dudes that you can see kill it, that
- 26:57Speaker 6: have like ten tackles or whatever, and they just for
- 26:59Speaker 6: whatever reason, numbers don't make sense.
- 27:01Speaker 4: They get they get.
- 27:02Speaker 6: The call right at the end of those cuts because
- 27:04Speaker 6: it is it's a wild time. Preseason so different for
- 27:06Speaker 6: so many different people, just going into it.
- 27:09Speaker 4: The urgency, Yeah, like the like the weird, Uh what
- 27:13Speaker 4: is it like? Just fight or flight, justt that is
- 27:15Speaker 4: happening in your brain chemically, like going out on the
- 27:18Speaker 4: field trying to like make the most of your whether
- 27:20Speaker 4: it's special teams reps, like if you're slow to get
- 27:22Speaker 4: off a block, you're just cussing yourself out in your head,
- 27:25Speaker 4: like fuck, I'm gonna coaches gonna hate this.
- 27:28Speaker 6: Right, this might be the end of me. This might
- 27:29Speaker 6: be the end, right, Yeah, because it's it's so small,
- 27:32Speaker 6: the margin for err is so small.
- 27:34Speaker 4: Right because preseason, like ultimately you got you're trying to
- 27:37Speaker 4: look for your start. You're trying to see your starters
- 27:39Speaker 4: have some operation out there, like feel good going into
- 27:41Speaker 4: the first week. Fans they're excited to see the guys
- 27:44Speaker 4: who are going to start. Who do they get to
- 27:45Speaker 4: watch as the starting quarterback? Going to get some snaps
- 27:48Speaker 4: and see who's gonna round out certain death, but the
- 27:50Speaker 4: second half stuff nobody necessarily cares about. But there's so
- 27:53Speaker 4: much happening in that second half.
- 27:54Speaker 6: All of the articles that are coming out about the
- 27:57Speaker 6: rookies and the starters and how good everybody looks. It's
- 28:00Speaker 6: all fluff right now. Everything's just fuff because it's like
- 28:02Speaker 6: these guys are getting in like fifteen snaps. It's like,
- 28:04Speaker 6: what's your beak a little bit, get out there, get loose,
- 28:07Speaker 6: feel the fans, feel the operation, all that stuff. But
- 28:10Speaker 6: the real stuff is the things people aren't running about,
- 28:12Speaker 6: which that second half. There might be a couple of
- 28:14Speaker 6: things like hey, this guy looks good that guy, but
- 28:16Speaker 6: you really don't know. Like that's where the stuff really
- 28:18Speaker 6: matters right now in the preseason.
- 28:19Speaker 4: And the guys who are like in the ninety like
- 28:21Speaker 4: probably seventy to ninety range, trying to make the roster
- 28:24Speaker 4: of the fifty three, Like if they have a good
- 28:26Speaker 4: like second half on the field, you'll you'll notice them
- 28:29Speaker 4: more on like the first team unit reps with special teams.
- 28:32Speaker 4: You'll see that, like coaches are trying to give them
- 28:34Speaker 4: the shot to see if they can, you know, basically
- 28:37Speaker 4: play special teams because they know they got somebody whether
- 28:39Speaker 4: again in my situation. Hey, we have somebody who can
- 28:41Speaker 4: play linebacker, but can he play special teams all four
- 28:44Speaker 4: units too?
- 28:45Speaker 2: Yeah, young guys man, if you think you're just a
- 28:48Speaker 2: defensive specialist, get in those special team reps in practice.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Even offensive guys man, Yes, if you're a backup receiver
- 28:54Speaker 4: running back, like, you gotta play special teams. You might
- 28:57Speaker 4: be great out of the backfield, you might be a
- 28:58Speaker 4: good third down back, but you might not be the starter.
- 29:01Speaker 4: You have to play special teams.
- 29:04Speaker 6: Every roster spot matters, even the offensive line. Like, if
- 29:06Speaker 6: you're an interior guy and you can't play center in
- 29:08Speaker 6: both guards, it's like, it's not how this league works anymore.
- 29:12Speaker 6: You don't have a year to develop those types of things.
- 29:14Speaker 4: It's so yeah for a lineman too, Like if you
- 29:17Speaker 4: can't be a swing guy, if you're like if you're
- 29:18Speaker 4: a true depth player, yeah, if you're like second team maybe,
- 29:22Speaker 4: like maybe you gotta be able to play like multiple positions, right.
- 29:25Speaker 6: It's it is funny how different it is. Because you
- 29:27Speaker 6: got guys that are just chilling the sidelines. You get
- 29:29Speaker 6: done with however many reps you have, and then it
- 29:31Speaker 6: seeds in the mouth unbuckle the shoulder pads and you're
- 29:34Speaker 6: just watching a football game. You have the best seats
- 29:36Speaker 6: in the house.
- 29:37Speaker 4: And it's always interesting too, because you've you've alluded to
- 29:41Speaker 4: it being you being at an elite level of a
- 29:43Speaker 4: left tackle. The quote the more you can do doesn't
- 29:48Speaker 4: necessarily the more you're thinking, Hey, yeah, you're thinking, yeah,
- 29:51Speaker 4: the more you do, the less you get paid. Whereas
- 29:53Speaker 4: like me coming up, I'm thinking, I gotta I gotta
- 29:55Speaker 4: figure out how I can play every different thing on
- 29:57Speaker 4: punt team, because that is how ultimately I I would
- 30:00Speaker 4: get paid.
- 30:00Speaker 6: Right and there there was never I could literally play.
- 30:03Speaker 6: I've said this a bunch of times in the podcast.
- 30:05Speaker 6: I could play one position. That was it. I was
- 30:07Speaker 6: not good at anything else. Put me at the right side,
- 30:08Speaker 6: put me at guard, anything that was terrible. My rookie
- 30:11Speaker 6: year with my Michael Ruse and Michael Orr, they got
- 30:15Speaker 6: Michael Or in free agency to play the right tackle.
- 30:18Speaker 6: So when I came in, it was swing and I
- 30:20Speaker 6: was playing guard and my rookie camp and it was
- 30:23Speaker 6: just the only time I even showed any glimmer of
- 30:25Speaker 6: hope at all was at left tackle. It was I
- 30:28Speaker 6: was praying to the gods that nobody else went down
- 30:30Speaker 6: except for Michael Rose. If somebody was to go down,
- 30:32Speaker 6: please make it Michael Roose right luckily, shout out you.
- 30:35Speaker 4: Michael Rouse.
- 30:35Speaker 6: You did go down week five, dude, illrestiate your dog.
- 30:38Speaker 4: I hated special teams I got to play. I just
- 30:44Speaker 4: overall you wanted to be out there and just playing
- 30:46Speaker 4: linebacker because when you're just not the fastest guy, you know,
- 30:50Speaker 4: the boys he's got I got shorter arms, so it
- 30:52Speaker 4: was always a little bit more difficult. I love playing
- 30:54Speaker 4: like guard on punt because you're protected a little bit more. Yeah,
- 30:57Speaker 4: but I remember when Adam Hayward came in my second year,
- 30:59Speaker 4: He's like, Okay, doesn't matter how well you play lineback
- 31:02Speaker 4: if you're not like the guy or the starter, Like
- 31:04Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to teach you how to play special
- 31:05Speaker 4: teams and shout out the boy Adam Hayward because he
- 31:07Speaker 4: was always keeping me after practice and doing things to
- 31:10Speaker 4: where ultimately I think he was trying to help show
- 31:12Speaker 4: the special teams coordinator that I'm willing to do all
- 31:16Speaker 4: these different things underneath him because he was the captain.
- 31:19Speaker 4: Uh but yeah, if it wasn't for like Adam and
- 31:21Speaker 4: some of those guys because I just you just hated
- 31:24Speaker 4: going out there on fourth down. Yeah, you wanna hit,
- 31:27Speaker 4: you wanna hit your three. Like when I was getting
- 31:28Speaker 4: to play, I would still have to be on like
- 31:30Speaker 4: punt team or kickoff return. Yeah. They would save my
- 31:33Speaker 4: legs by not putting me on kickoff.
- 31:35Speaker 6: Yeah, but punt team stuff because you have maximum effort
- 31:37Speaker 6: and then you're starting first down.
- 31:39Speaker 4: Yeah, bro, And then you hope it's like a you
- 31:41Speaker 4: hope it's a televised game, so there's like a TV
- 31:43Speaker 4: timeout yeah god. Yeah, or if you know they're about
- 31:46Speaker 4: to go down and get tackled, you start to slow
- 31:48Speaker 4: up a little bit.
- 31:48Speaker 6: That level of stress has got to be so crazy.
- 31:51Speaker 4: Yeah, more when I when I was playing, it was
- 31:54Speaker 4: more of like, oh god, this kind of sucks. I
- 31:56Speaker 4: have to go out here on fourth down.
- 31:57Speaker 6: Because when you get into the season, part of me
- 32:00Speaker 6: be like, damn, these special teams guys kind of got
- 32:02Speaker 6: a mate because I'm playing every single snap on offense. Yeah,
- 32:05Speaker 6: Like there's so many things can go wrong, but not
- 32:08Speaker 6: even really thinking about how their life is hell at
- 32:10Speaker 6: any moment that he can get cut for a new
- 32:12Speaker 6: guy coming in. Yeah, one team cuts this guy and like, well,
- 32:14Speaker 6: this guy's probably a little bit better, so they switch
- 32:16Speaker 6: him out. It's just got to be so.
- 32:17Speaker 4: Hard, dude. I saw one cat man, I forget his name.
- 32:20Speaker 4: He was a linebacker. We had a Thursday night game
- 32:23Speaker 4: and so we it was later in the year two,
- 32:25Speaker 4: so we didn't really practice like with pads on. It
- 32:28Speaker 4: was walked through all week long. Yeah, and it was
- 32:30Speaker 4: his first game. He got called up from practice squad.
- 32:34Speaker 4: He was a solid little linebacker, but he was the wing.
- 32:37Speaker 4: He was a left wing on punt and he got
- 32:39Speaker 4: beat with an up and under against the Giants and
- 32:42Speaker 4: they cut him the next day, no shit. Yeah, and
- 32:45Speaker 4: it was you felt for him because you felt like
- 32:48Speaker 4: he didn't get like a true fair shake because he
- 32:51Speaker 4: wasn't he His position wasn't wing on the punt team.
- 32:54Speaker 4: It was more of like guard or tackle. And he again,
- 32:56Speaker 4: he was a practice squad guy, but he got called
- 32:58Speaker 4: up to play wing. And the only job of wing
- 33:01Speaker 4: is like, don't get beat on an up and under
- 33:03Speaker 4: to get it blocked. He got it blocked, and they
- 33:05Speaker 4: sent him. Gotta have tempo, tough living, yeah, yeah, tough
- 33:12Speaker 4: lit there, huh. Yeah. You just hated to see it. Yeah,
- 33:17Speaker 4: Like because I was. I think I was in my
- 33:18Speaker 4: third year and I was like, I remember trying to
- 33:21Speaker 4: talk to the special teams coordinator that it was just like, hey,
- 33:23Speaker 4: I know, we ended up winning that game, and you
- 33:26Speaker 4: kind of like tried to save him essentially, like hey,
- 33:30Speaker 4: like we didn't practice all week, and he didn't never
- 33:33Speaker 4: got like a live look at the up and under,
- 33:35Speaker 4: and ultimately the guy who hit him on the up
- 33:37Speaker 4: and under was obviously notorious for the up and unders,
- 33:40Speaker 4: but he was he was somebody who was very capable
- 33:43Speaker 4: at all times of like blocking a punt. So he's
- 33:45Speaker 4: going up against somebody really good, and so you just
- 33:47Speaker 4: felt like he didn't get a he was done after that,
- 33:51Speaker 4: you know what I mean. No, I don't think he
- 33:54Speaker 4: made it on a on another team or another roster,
- 33:56Speaker 4: because once you ultimately you put that out there, you
- 33:59Speaker 4: could beat on up and do you cut, you get
- 34:01Speaker 4: cut the next day, Like nobody's jumping at It's like, okay,
- 34:03Speaker 4: he must have done more than just allowing up and under. Yeah,
- 34:06Speaker 4: even those guys who like you know, again to Jack's point, preseason,
- 34:09Speaker 4: you're going through all these mental gymnastics of trying to
- 34:11Speaker 4: make the team. You're on practice squad. You're doing everything
- 34:13Speaker 4: possible to try to stick around, and you get thrown
- 34:17Speaker 4: out there Thursday night football, get beat on it up
- 34:19Speaker 4: and under, and your career is pretty much done. That's
- 34:22Speaker 4: just it's it's brutal.
- 34:24Speaker 6: There's different layers too, Like there's guys so many guys
- 34:27Speaker 6: want to be in the league right now, but like
- 34:28Speaker 6: even going to boost and seeing there's a couple of
- 34:30Speaker 6: guys that are camp started, preseason games are going, and
- 34:33Speaker 6: there's a couple of guys just waiting on a call,
- 34:35Speaker 6: getting getting to work out, just hoping to God something
- 34:37Speaker 6: happens or you can get a call. It's just it's
- 34:40Speaker 6: a it's a tough life to live.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Yeah, just to keep a dream alive, right because ultimately
- 34:44Speaker 4: you don't know if the door is going to open
- 34:45Speaker 4: back up for you. Nobody you're you know, especially when
- 34:48Speaker 4: you're younger, you're not willing to fully shut the door
- 34:51Speaker 4: because ultimately your identity and it being is wrapped up. Well,
- 34:54Speaker 4: you're like, what am I gonna do? Yeah, what's next

- 36:29Speaker 4: Oh for Nashville. In the MLB team the Braves.
- 36:33Speaker 2: What the sounds triple No, yeah, I know, No, I
- 36:37Speaker 2: believe it's is Chicago.
- 36:39Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, which Chicago, teabe.
- 36:41Speaker 4: If you're who do you usually pull?
- 36:44Speaker 12: Oh oh yeah Braves? Cardinals?
- 36:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I oh Cardinals, Like I grew up with either
- 36:49Speaker 2: it's majority Braves, and then you have like i'd say,
- 36:52Speaker 2: seventy thirty Cardinals split and then you got your random
- 36:55Speaker 2: mitches of the world.
- 36:56Speaker 4: They're like the Yankees want to say, I think, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 36:59Speaker 4: I want to say, like in the farm or in
- 37:01Speaker 4: the minor system, there's a Memphis Cardinals team like I
- 37:05Speaker 4: think the Cardinals are.
- 37:06Speaker 12: They might be double way.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Yeah, they might have like a Cardinals team.
- 37:11Speaker 12: I believe he's saying in Memphis.
- 37:13Speaker 4: I think you can fact check me, but I believe.
- 37:16Speaker 4: I believe it was Cardinals has a miners team or
- 37:19Speaker 4: in the farm system in Memphis.
- 37:22Speaker 6: There's one more thing about the Titans game I want
- 37:23Speaker 6: to talk about. There's been a debate about the O. G.
- 37:26Speaker 6: Paine train and you were in yourself. You were in
- 37:28Speaker 6: a little bit of a scuffle this weekend, Jackie.
- 37:30Speaker 4: You said that no O G.
- 37:31Speaker 6: Paint train going into the fourth no O G.
- 37:33Speaker 12: Paint train.
- 37:33Speaker 6: People are saying you spoke too soon. What what was
- 37:36Speaker 6: the situation with that? Because I know all the fans
- 37:38Speaker 6: are clamoring.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Yeah, me as a as a dire Titans fan, I
- 37:42Speaker 2: did not leave it half because I care about these reps.
- 37:44Speaker 2: I care about the special teams guys, and I'm in there.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I'm in there losing my voice.
- 37:48Speaker 14: But no O G.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Paintrain video. They play the they played the normal paintrain video.
- 37:53Speaker 2: But what we're looking for is the old what's his.
- 37:55Speaker 6: Name Terry Terry Tate office.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Line and we need that one back with the folsom
- 38:00Speaker 2: Prison Blues going into fourth quarter. I think it's what
- 38:02Speaker 2: we need. We have a new system, a new team,
- 38:05Speaker 2: so what better thing to do than bring back an
- 38:08Speaker 2: old tradition.
- 38:09Speaker 12: You know, got instilled those values.
- 38:11Speaker 2: So I do hope though they're saving it for that
- 38:14Speaker 2: first home opener. It's the Jets week two, so I
- 38:18Speaker 2: think it'd be great. We'll beat the absolute dog shit
- 38:20Speaker 2: out of New York and then fourth quarter comes around,
- 38:22Speaker 2: we all throw them up and then Terry comes on
- 38:24Speaker 2: the screen and you know, it's back to the Mike
- 38:28Speaker 2: Fisher days.
- 38:30Speaker 4: Jack Fires. For the entire of a preseason, it was beast.
- 38:35Speaker 14: It really was.
- 38:36Speaker 12: It was just fun just being in the stadium again.
- 38:38Speaker 12: And we were talking about this earlier.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Nashville during this time of year in August, it usually
- 38:42Speaker 2: is miserably hot during the time, and we got a
- 38:46Speaker 2: historic weather.
- 38:47Speaker 4: Day on Saturday.
- 38:50Speaker 16: Fall.
- 38:51Speaker 2: I think it maybe hit like eighty two eighty three tops,
- 38:53Speaker 2: and there was like very little humidity. So by the
- 38:57Speaker 2: time it was like six or seven when that Titans
- 38:59Speaker 2: game start, there's a little breeze going. You just can't
- 39:01Speaker 2: beat it. When you're in Nashville and the weather actually
- 39:04Speaker 2: is uh is there for you and not against you.
- 39:07Speaker 12: You're like, yeah, I see why everybody wants to move
- 39:09Speaker 12: here now.
- 39:10Speaker 2: But we probably won't get another one of those days
- 39:13Speaker 2: until October.
- 39:14Speaker 4: So we're still knock on wood. We're still it's been

- 50:20Speaker 4: my wife. She has She is now the owner of
- 50:23Speaker 4: the Bar three studios in Nashville, and that has been
- 50:28Speaker 4: a goal of hers since I've known her. She was like,
- 50:32Speaker 4: is it pw C. Is that some familiar one of
- 50:34Speaker 4: the big tax accounting firms. There's like a big three year,
- 50:36Speaker 4: big five or something, and she was kind of climbing
- 50:38Speaker 4: that corporate ladder. Left some good money to basically manage
- 50:41Speaker 4: a Bar three studio in Washington, d C. Where she
- 50:44Speaker 4: didn't really get paid a lot of money at all.
- 50:46Speaker 4: Talked to her into moving to Nashville, where she ultimately
- 50:49Speaker 4: took over and managed the two studios here in Nashville.
- 50:52Speaker 4: There's an opportunity for us to buy it in like
- 50:55Speaker 4: the COVID year, but it was a little it was
- 50:57Speaker 4: a little high price wise, so she ended up not
- 50:59Speaker 4: we ended up not jumping on it. Then she took
- 51:01Speaker 4: a franchise ops manager job for HQ out of Portland,
- 51:05Speaker 4: which is where the Bar three HQ is to where
- 51:07Speaker 4: ultimately she like helps people open up their studios. Mentors
- 51:10Speaker 4: is basically a resource for anybody, any owner who opens
- 51:13Speaker 4: up a new studio and the opportunity came up recently
- 51:16Speaker 4: for her to acquire the Bar three studios here in
- 51:19Speaker 4: the greater Nashville area. So she is now the owner
- 51:21Speaker 4: of the Bar three Studios here in Nashville. So if

- 51:52Speaker 4: out of the week.
- 51:52Speaker 6: One more for char Let's get one more for Charli outstanding.
- 51:59Speaker 6: I think it's time to give people what they want.
- 52:02Speaker 4: We did kind of brush over the fact that it
- 52:04Speaker 4: is Jphuvey's wedding. That it's true.
- 52:06Speaker 6: We should go back to it. That's good, that's a
- 52:07Speaker 6: good bookmark.
- 52:09Speaker 4: But we can very much. I know everybody's dying to
- 52:11Speaker 4: listen to this rich Isison episode. But however, we do
- 52:14Speaker 4: have to celebrate the boy jp it's his wedding week.
- 52:16Speaker 4: There's been a lot of stress I assume leading up
- 52:17Speaker 4: to this moment. As married men who went through it,
- 52:21Speaker 4: I feel your pain, y'all.
- 52:22Speaker 7: Y'all can each give one piece of advice for me
- 52:24Speaker 7: and anybody else that that might be about to get married.
- 52:28Speaker 4: My advice for the week of leading up is ultimately,
- 52:33Speaker 4: just put yourself in a mindset of the haze in
- 52:36Speaker 4: the barn. Whatever goes wrong, whatever needs to be fixed,
- 52:39Speaker 4: is somebody else's job outside of you. Your job is
- 52:42Speaker 4: to minimize whatever stress that your partner's feeling. Because they
- 52:45Speaker 4: want everything to be perfect. It's the biggest day that
- 52:47Speaker 4: they've been dreaming, dreaming about since since a little girl,
- 52:51Speaker 4: and ultimately they want everything to go perfectly, even though
- 52:53Speaker 4: they might allude at front that they might not want
- 52:55Speaker 4: it to. They want everything to go perfectly. So your job.
- 52:58Speaker 4: I felt like my job was ultimately, like, sweetheart, it's
- 53:01Speaker 4: gonna be all good like this. We're gonna get married,
- 53:03Speaker 4: we're gonna say some awesome vows, and we're gonna have
- 53:06Speaker 4: a dope party afterwards. And I did that as much
- 53:09Speaker 4: as possible because it was ultimately relieve yourself a feeling
- 53:13Speaker 4: as stressed out as everybody else is surrounding the wedding.
- 53:16Speaker 4: That would be my advice, Like you get on the
- 53:18Speaker 4: plane or are you driving or flying there?
- 53:20Speaker 13: I'm flying flying there, and.
- 53:22Speaker 4: It's like, once you get on that flight, bro, just
- 53:23Speaker 4: be like, Hey, everything else is out of my hands.
- 53:26Speaker 4: We're either gonna perform the operation is gonna perform. But
- 53:28Speaker 4: once everybody shows up for the welcome party, it's just
- 53:31Speaker 4: gonna be fun from there on out. It's over.
- 53:33Speaker 13: Yeah, once the first person gets in the pool.
- 53:37Speaker 4: That's all you need. If nobody's in there, trust me,
- 53:39Speaker 4: we will be diving in that pool, We'll be getting
- 53:41Speaker 4: in that pool, we'll be setting off. But you should
- 53:44Speaker 4: it should be It should be all fun from here
- 53:45Speaker 4: on not, even though I know it's like gets a
- 53:48Speaker 4: little tight, gets a little dicey. You got the parents,
- 53:50Speaker 4: you got everybody kind of weighing in on what should
- 53:51Speaker 4: happen here, what should happen there, It's like, hey, focus
- 53:55Speaker 4: on the vowels.
- 53:56Speaker 6: Yeah, I just say expect expecting to go wrong, like
- 53:58Speaker 6: things that you don't want to have. Things are going
- 54:00Speaker 6: to go wrong. But the other day it doesn't matter
- 54:02Speaker 6: you're putting rings on the finger, you're saying you're vund
- 54:04Speaker 6: you're getting it done. Check all the boxes that you
- 54:07Speaker 6: think you need to check. If you're like saying hello
- 54:08Speaker 6: to people, do that as fast as early as possible,
- 54:11Speaker 6: and then after that, be truly intentional about enjoying the wedding.
- 54:15Speaker 6: That's it, because I feel like everybody you thought, to
- 54:17Speaker 6: anybody that's been married, it's like, oh, yeah, our wedding
- 54:19Speaker 6: was fun, but we really don't remember it because it
- 54:22Speaker 6: was like so much high stress. We're going through all
- 54:23Speaker 6: of it. It's like once you've shook in people's hands
- 54:25Speaker 6: been like hey, I appreciate you coming, then it's like,
- 54:28Speaker 6: how can we now go away for a second look
- 54:31Speaker 6: at this grand scheme of these five hundred people. However
- 54:33Speaker 6: many people are at this wedding and be like, Yo,
- 54:35Speaker 6: this is sick. We this is our wedding. Take a
- 54:38Speaker 6: moment just the two of you, and then dive into
- 54:40Speaker 6: the fun.
- 54:42Speaker 4: Love it. It's the best to you, especially if you
- 54:45Speaker 4: black out.
- 54:46Speaker 13: I can't do that. We got it on the flight
- 54:48Speaker 13: the next day.
- 54:49Speaker 1: You can.
- 54:50Speaker 4: You can block It's the same, bro, And I was

- 55:26Speaker 7: that she became friends with in college is like the
- 55:28Speaker 7: best I love going to visit her friends. She feels

- 58:24Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen.
- 58:25Speaker 1: This is happening.
- 58:26Speaker 4: We got him.
- 58:26Speaker 1: It is going down, This is happening.
- 58:31Speaker 6: Seventy two days, kicking is cleaning.
- 58:36Speaker 1: Finally did it? Look at this place? Is everything you
- 58:39Speaker 1: thought it would be everything? It's everything. I thought it
- 58:41Speaker 1: would be more comfortable chairs than I thought it would be.
- 58:46Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's an old school vibe to it,
- 58:48Speaker 1: there's a new school vibe to it. I still don't
- 58:52Speaker 1: understand why there's no motor on this thing. I think
- 58:54Speaker 1: you'd kill it if you could take this thing around
- 58:56Speaker 1: the country. It was my initial reaction when you first
- 59:00Speaker 1: told me. I think was that five years ago now.
- 59:03Speaker 6: Over seven hundred days ago, and seventy two days was
- 59:07Speaker 6: the time we started to try to get you.
- 59:08Speaker 1: Right to start. But this goes back to when you
- 59:10Speaker 1: came on my show at the Draft in Nashville, when
- 59:13Speaker 1: I was doing my show at the Draft, and you're like, Hey,
- 59:16Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, uh this pod, I'm starting
- 59:19Speaker 1: to pod, And I'm like, what's it called busting with
- 59:21Speaker 1: the boys? Really? Great, that's cool, Like, why is it
- 59:23Speaker 1: called busting with the boys? There's a bus? No kidding? Great, Well,
- 59:27Speaker 1: when the bus comes through La, I'd love to go
- 59:29Speaker 1: on it. You're like, there's no motor on it, and
- 59:31Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what do you mean, Like, what are
- 59:33Speaker 1: you talking about? There's no motor on the bus. And
- 59:35Speaker 1: you said there's no motor on the bus, and on
- 59:37Speaker 1: that spot, I'll never forget it. Right there on the show,
- 59:39Speaker 1: I decided, Okay, I'm going to commit to never appearing
- 59:42Speaker 1: on this show until there's a motor on the.
- 59:44Speaker 6: Bus, which was a strong stance to take, and I think.
- 59:47Speaker 1: I kind of threw you a little bit, you know,
- 59:49Speaker 1: like you didn't expect such a strident opinion coming out
- 59:53Speaker 1: of me so quickly. I went from supportive to.
- 59:56Speaker 6: The album like, yeah, he really put me in my place.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Angry, you know what I mean, weirdly angry if I
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: would have a motor. I was offended just on behalf
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: of all broadcasting, you know, like there would be a
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: show based on a bus, but the bus doesn't move.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: It made no sense.
- 1:00:11Speaker 6: Let me let me tell you how that made me feel,
- 1:00:14Speaker 6: because I like to think, yeah, you know you are
- 1:00:18Speaker 6: that you're the god of the NFL. When people think
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: of NFL voices, they think of Rich eisen.
- 1:00:25Speaker 10: Well.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: I mean, at some point they'll get around, Yeah, at
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: some point, process of elimination, no question.
- 1:00:29Speaker 6: Eventually, you've just been around a long long time. And
- 1:00:32Speaker 6: when I'm talking to you, a businessman who has his
- 1:00:34Speaker 6: voice on a microphone for so long, and then I say, Hey,
- 1:00:37Speaker 6: I'm gonna do X, Y and Z, and you're all
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: about it. And then I say one small thing and
- 1:00:41Speaker 6: you shut it down.
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: My heart hurt.
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: I thought, Man, there's no way this bust. What the
- 1:00:44Speaker 6: boy thing is gonna work out of Rich Eisen.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: No, I mean that's not the way I meant it
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: to be. I just kind of meant it to be
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: like a little bit of a bit and a commitment,
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: commitment to the bit, which is, you know, the only
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: way a bit works. And then and then I we're
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: not knowing that exactly. Then that that's why I would
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: understand the animosity that I feel more from my left,
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: like the heat I'm currently feeling from my left more
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: than I guess my ten o'clock position right over here.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: Is that the next part of the bit was to
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: not know who. Will Compton was like, I'm like you,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: who are you doing it with? And then that was
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: another part of the bit. Then I just hammered that
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: bet part of the bit down on the ground until
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: you know. I started watching you take people for a
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: walk on your Twitter account, and you kind of won
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: me over. At that point in time. I kind of
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: love the walk. I think that's a funny thing. And
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: then the way you commit to that bit too, so
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, then I started taking you for a walk,
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: and then I don't know when day one started to
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: Who came with the idea of posting a photograph of
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: me every single day?
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: Is kind of organ Yeah, it was conversation. Matter of fact,
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: let's ask Jack, Jack, the one who is responsible for
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: posting every day. I'm sure some of the boys in
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: the bag mound.
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: This was a little over two years ago and it
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: was a slow summer day, so I was just trying
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: to find anything we can repurpose for content, and there
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: was the whole reservicing. I think of maybe a clip
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: that you would never come on. So I was like
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: day one, tweeting a photo of rich eyes until it
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: comes on the podcast. In the first few days, everyone
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: loves it, and then by about day twelve, people are like,
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: all right, this is old already. And now we hear
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: our seven hundred days later and people still think it's old,
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: but we never gave up.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: So no, I appreciate that you never gave up, certainly
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: since you know there was a Chevy Silverado on the
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: line for you about doing it.
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: Every single les say that whole idea was coming up
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: during a podcast.
- 1:02:33Speaker 12: It was about thirty days in.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: Yeah, when we're two guys, that's like, how committed are
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: you to this? And then we kind of established terms
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: and then it became and just took life and it
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: found legs and then we're in LA and we're on
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: the show talking about it, and I think that was
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: like day four hundred and fifty.
- 1:02:50Speaker 6: It was last summer, right.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: And then and then, you know, the aggressiveness from your
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: passionate fan base, the passionate dun fan You don't want
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: to cross them, know, but but the fact and I
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: would reach out to you saying, you know, can you
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: you know, jump in here at some point, and you didn't.
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: Not nothing. You do have a fan base too, Like
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: when I would when it seems like you come through
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: Nashville and then I'm like, oh, it's great to see
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: you go, but you go to other cities.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: And I never came through that. This is the first
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: time I was back Inshville's.
- 1:03:21Speaker 6: Edelman's podcast, I think he did. Did you do the pivot?
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: You did?
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: I did? I did? Pardon my get.
- 1:03:29Speaker 6: Thirty never do wh which you gotta respect the time
- 1:03:33Speaker 6: You got to respect the time out. Okay, you gotta respect.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: The time out. So how many of these do you get?
- 1:03:38Speaker 4: It's really at our discression.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Must start with three of.
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: So appreciating the different bits. One that I always enjoy
- 1:03:48Speaker 4: is when you do go on somebody else's show, like
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: crafting some tweet that makes me think that you travel
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: to everybody else except the boys. And when I do
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: do that, there's some rich eisons fans out there that
- 1:03:58Speaker 4: come across. He's got better things, dude, Then go on
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: your guys a shitty bus. You guys are on a
- 1:04:02Speaker 4: real podcast. Your pants are nasty.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna say that that's your fans just clapping
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: back at you, just trying to keep you in line
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: as opposed to him.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: Then that could be true.
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: So you just do you think? I just wondering if you, like,
- 1:04:14Speaker 6: for the last thirty years doing sports and you have
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: no fans.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: I am. I am as one hundred percent honest as
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: I possibly can be when I say this. I never
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: crafted a tweet to try and make you jealous about
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: me appearing on other podcasts. I never thought in a
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: million years when I appeared on Julian Edelman's podcast shot
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: out of his home just off the four or five Freeway,
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: about twenty minutes from where I live and just twenty
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: five minutes from where I work, that you would consider
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: that an affront that I would travel that short amount
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: of a distance. Keywords to flying, the friggin' nast keyword travel.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: You traveled travel, He traveled.
- 1:04:49Speaker 6: In La La traffic video twenty minutes was a block
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: of life Indianapolis.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: It is.
- 1:04:54Speaker 6: Oh, that's a good poll.
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: I but I did McAfee's show when you were during
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: the Yeah, when I was in Annapolis for the combine,
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: and then I did I did pardon my take. When
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: I was in New York for the.
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: Sports, you did do pardon my take as well.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Now I know that that was. That was now that
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: you guys considered an affront. I understand. It's the same label,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: it's the same family. It's the same if you were
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: if the but if this sport, I don't want to
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: get involved, Okay, it sounds like right, I don't want
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: to get involved in this family.
- 1:05:23Speaker 6: She's a blessing with the boys. You're smacked bab in
- 1:05:24Speaker 6: the middle.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: So maybe so. But you know, all I'm saying is
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: that if the Sports Emmys were in Nashville, I'd have
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: been on the bus sooner, you know what I mean.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: And if they were in Nashville, I wouldn't have done
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: part of my take because I was in town for
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: the Sports Semis. You know, Like, honestly, this is the
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: first time I have been in Nashville since I the draft, Yes,
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: nineteen draft, Yeah, the twenty nineteen, eighteen, twenty nineteen, I.
- 1:05:46Speaker 4: Think, yeah, it was. It was definitely twenty Yeah.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: So that's the origin, and that's you know, but it's
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: now officially in the past. We turn it. We have
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: officially turned the page. And to give you some grace, Yes,
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: I didn't know I needed any well.
- 1:05:59Speaker 4: Together, you know, you're defending all your points, so I
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: want to give you some grace too. You did try
- 1:06:03Speaker 4: coming on and we would go to the Super Bowl.
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: I did, and we would be like, no, he has
- 1:06:06Speaker 4: to it has to be on the bus because the
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: entire and I.
- 1:06:09Speaker 6: Expect said that we publicly put that out there that
- 1:06:12Speaker 6: Riches tried.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: Didn't do that. They didn't hear that. It's more and
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: more aggressive with each with each like every single time
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: there'd be a photograph and some of them, you know, Jack,
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: I mean you would just take a screen grab of
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: the interview that I did that day. It was pretty lazy,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: But I understand, I understand, I understand. I understand. Like
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: day seven ten, you're like, Okay, I just need to
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: check this box and get out of the way. I
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: totally get that.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: To right a fence there after a certain amount of time,
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: even for someone who's been on the internet and in
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: the public eye for a long time, there is only
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: a finite amount of photos of you, so.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Really okay, getting I find that offensive all of a sudden. No,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: but you would find some deep cuts, like I would
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: have to like really begin to think, like where was that?
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: You know? And I was impressed by that, But each
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: and every time I would look at the first couple
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: of comments and it would be busting. Fans were just like,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: you're you're disrespecting you know, You're never going to go
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: on you know, yeah, like this this photograph that's up
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: there right now, that's that's my photograph from uh college
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: from pie cap of five, my fraternity. That's what's up
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: on the house wall right now. Wherever the house is
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: in Michigan. It was it was at temporary quarters. We
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: we didn't have an official house.
- 1:07:24Speaker 6: Oh really, you're still working through it.
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: Still working through I'm a ground I'm a groundbreaker, man.
- 1:07:30Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no question about that.
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: NFL network. You know, there's another example, you know, ground
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: floor build it upright. No one can ever take it
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: away from you, that right. So that but that they
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: would get aggressive. You could see how my name is
- 1:07:41Speaker 1: Richard Eisen on that because again that's a that's what
- 1:07:44Speaker 1: I was known as in college. At any rate, I'm here.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: So do you have a favorite photo that Jack posted
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: or that jog you remember in such a way like,
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: oh man.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: I don't know every now and then my you wrote
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: my wife into it, you know.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Which is a birthday yesterday, correct with her birthday.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: It's very kind of you, Jack, Thank you. It's very touching.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: I feel like we're you're a member of a family now.
- 1:08:07Speaker 10: Man.
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: I love that.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I really do feel that way.
- 1:08:09Speaker 6: That is special. And the first time you guys met
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: was last summer.
- 1:08:12Speaker 12: Correct on the show.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: They're very nice enough to have us all in the studio,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: a beautiful studio, really great staff.
- 1:08:17Speaker 12: You guys have a great operation.
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: Thanks brother.
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: What was the feeling when you saw Rich for the
- 1:08:21Speaker 6: first time, knowing he was the only man sitting in
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: the way between you and Chevy Sierado.
- 1:08:25Speaker 12: It's like seeing a father I've never seen before.
- 1:08:28Speaker 6: I went out from milk and a pack of cigarettes
- 1:08:30Speaker 6: and never came back.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: And I remember a Garrett was there watching. There was
- 1:08:33Speaker 2: a bunch of us walking in and I go up.
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: He goes, we're going to get you that truck, and
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: I go in for a hug and he's already talking
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: to other people and I'm like.
- 1:08:41Speaker 6: Oh, no, another time, Dad, Yeah, no doubt.
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Just listen. I'm sorry I left and never came back.
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: But we're now reunited and hopefully, you know, we can
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: look past everything ready.
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: To move forward.
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: Great.
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: Hey. I will say it was really cool to be
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: out at your studio with the team last year because
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: of like you know, Jack tweeting every day, Like I
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: feel like we all had fun being out there and
- 1:09:07Speaker 4: fanboying on you for a second, like when you covered
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: baseball growing up and playing baseball, watching you break down
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: the MLB every day for my fantasy league, whatever fantasy
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: league I was on. But being able to watch you
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: for like the last two decades and you're running a
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: couple of bits on me, it's been really cool.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I appreciate you saying that.
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: Will I know it feels a little weird.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: No, it's it's all good man.
- 1:09:29Speaker 6: There's a bunch of dudes.
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: Gracefully.
- 1:09:33Speaker 6: We were in the car, Born's crazy, And all I'm
- 1:09:37Speaker 6: saying is that's crazy.
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: By the way, on the drive over here. As on
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: the drive over here, we were talking about how my
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: first Michigan game and I kind of forgot the circumstances
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: about it, and it was against Nebraska and it was
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: the Fiesta Bowl. I looked it up and I remember
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: sitting there thinking, you know, after a jog my memory,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: now I'm remember that we beat Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, Michigan Wan's Bowl game. And then
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: of course we all found out, you know, at least
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: I did that. That's not always the case, clearly, but
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: any great. The reason I brought that up is I'm like,
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: do you remember that? And then I realized I was
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: talking to you, and I'm like, were you born yet?
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: And you said no, and then you said when were
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: you born? It's a nineteen sixty nine? When were you born?
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Is what you said? Like how you said when were
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: you born?
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: Like?

- 1:11:06Speaker 1: you know, for as long as I've done shit in
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: my career, you know what I mean? Like, I hope
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: that for you. You don't want to get that tap
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: on the shoulder from somebody saying you're done.
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: The good news is we're own bosses. So the only
- 1:11:17Speaker 6: people that we tapping ourselves, like hey, we're fifty.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: Five, would port consider that we would just he would
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: consider you your own bosses.
- 1:11:25Speaker 4: I can ask that question direct, I think would say
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: those are my guys like their partner with barstool, technically
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: he would be our boss technically.
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: Ultimately, if was asked a direct question, Okay, are the
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: boys from Busting with the Boys their own bosses? He
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: would answer it, how?
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: How those are my guys? He would say those are
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: my guys?
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: Will he should say yes? Question? Should we only answer
- 1:11:50Speaker 1: it yes or no?
- 1:11:51Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: And Day's been in the business, I mean, only half
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: as long as you twenty five years. But he knows
- 1:11:55Speaker 6: how to maneuver those waters, and I guarantee he would
- 1:11:57Speaker 6: say those are yes.
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: He would say yes.
- 1:11:59Speaker 6: Okay, now he's saying yes.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Well, he can only say yes or no. Those are
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: his only choices A or B Yes, B is no.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: How would he answer?
- 1:12:07Speaker 6: I think he'd say yes? He wouldn't just say yes, yes.
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: So he would indicate in his answer some form of
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: hesitation to let the person who's asking the question know
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: they're absolutely not.
- 1:12:17Speaker 6: Yeah, we call that gray area. Yeah, and that's where
- 1:12:20Speaker 6: we live in the gray area with Barstool. Okay, because
- 1:12:23Speaker 6: bust in there's a whole, there's a whole different variables.
- 1:12:24Speaker 6: Will's got an independent contract so technically, oh really.
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: You're not an official Barstool employee.
- 1:12:29Speaker 6: No, Will is an official bartolmployees. Okay, but then the
- 1:12:33Speaker 6: bus itself, it's like we work alongside Barstool, but also
- 1:12:36Speaker 6: push come to shove. If someone had to be an answer,
- 1:12:38Speaker 6: I don't know. Let's just say like having a production
- 1:12:40Speaker 6: team in Las Vegas for a beer game Championship of
- 1:12:43Speaker 6: the World, and they wanted to pull that, they could
- 1:12:45Speaker 6: do that and we can understand about it.
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: But your partners, right, yes, partners. It's a strong has
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: a boss.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: Right Leisure mcave in ESPN Sure, yeah.
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: Right, but that's that's that's a great pull because at
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, Pat has his
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: own boss.
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Even though so you've answered the question, okay, so you're
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: so you're saying you're the McAfee of Barstool, Will said
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: that yes, okay, I'm sorry, I'm going to back off.
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: I'm bad at being the A of Q and A.
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: I'm I didn't mean to take over.
- 1:13:18Speaker 6: I don't think you're at all. I think you've taken

- 1:14:02Speaker 1: You've been outcause I see you have lists of potentials potential.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: Why are they potential? They means they have potential to
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: be asked of me right now?
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: Because bus what the boys is more founded in our
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: organic conversation, and here we are right now now, making
- 1:14:13Speaker 6: it no longer organic conversation because I'm talking about being organic,
- 1:14:16Speaker 6: so they're there, it can't be so organic. But if
- 1:14:19Speaker 6: we run into a little brick wall, like we might
- 1:14:20Speaker 6: be right now, I could look over in the.
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: Corner when I asked me one of the potential questions.
- 1:14:24Speaker 6: How was the NFL Hall of Fame ceremony?
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: Oh, it's great, Taylor, Thanks for asking.
- 1:14:29Speaker 6: And then you would elaborate more because you know you're
- 1:14:31Speaker 6: on a show right Well, were you nervous during it?
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: No?
- 1:14:34Speaker 6: Were you more nervous during that or doing the roast
- 1:14:36Speaker 6: of Tom Brady?
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Ah? Okay, I was the roast of Tom Brady was wild.
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: So I wasn't asked to do that until the day
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: before by Jeff Ross. Really, yes, jefjeff Ross, Jeffrey Ross.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: I've known since September of two thousand and one, when
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: I was at a party in New York City just
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: after nine eleve and it was like the first time
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: everyone was out and about and I saw him at
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: a party and I fanboyd him because he had just
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: done the roast of Jerry Stiller, where Sandra Bernhardt had
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: done some musical act with Jerry Stiller, and he stepped
- 1:15:16Speaker 1: up and he told the famous line Sandra Bernhardt, she's
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: so ugly, I wouldn't fuck her with be Arthur's dick.
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: And b Arthur somebody who you probably don't know before
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: your time is she was on Golden Girls and she
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: was getting up in years and she was on the
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: dais and he roped in a seventy year old woman
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: and accused her of having a male.
- 1:15:36Speaker 6: Part, and that was the way to your heart.
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: And it was the funniest it still is the funniest
- 1:15:41Speaker 1: roast joke ever said anywhere by anybody. And so we
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: hit it off and we've known each other ever since then.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: So he called me the day before and he goes,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: how would you like to kick off the roast of
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: Tom Brady tomorrow night? So I was going anyway. I
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: was going to be there with my wife Susan, and
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: I were going anyway, and he goes, how'd you like
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: to star? And I'm like, you had me at hello,
- 1:16:02Speaker 1: of course, like I'll do that. And he had told me,
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: because he's always up front with me, that he was
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: trying to get Mike Tyson to do that first.
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: How that would go.
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: I know, if Tyson was going to start it off right,
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: like let's get ready to rumble or whatever the hell
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: and so what for whatever reason it didn't happen. I'm like,
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: I'm happy to be your plan b after Mike Tyson.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: By the way, I'm the only time in my life
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: I've ever been a planed b off after Mike Tyson
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: for anything. But so I I was going to start
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: it off. So I rehearsed. They had me go down
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: to the to the forum earlier on that Sunday and
- 1:16:38Speaker 1: rehearse it. So I did it. It's on the prompter.
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: I can read a prompter, you know, for thirty years,
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: not a problem. And so as we're getting ready to
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: walk in in its time to walk into the arena,
- 1:16:51Speaker 1: my wife, sus who's been in the business for as
- 1:16:54Speaker 1: long as I've been, turns to me and she asked me,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: and she never really asked me. She goes, are you
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: nervous to do this? And I'm like, no, you know,
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: like I just rehearsed. It's on the prompter and whatever.
- 1:17:06Speaker 1: So we walk in the arena and you know, the
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: idea that there's a roast and arena is it's pretty
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: big room for a roast, and I was a little
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: concerned that the roast wouldn't go over well in a
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: room full of ten thousand people. But the place was
- 1:17:21Speaker 1: already half hour before packed, and there must have been
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: a million open bars or whatever, because everybody was ready
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: to roll. You could feel the energy in that arena
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: a half hour before. All the Sullys and Fitzes and
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: their Edelman jerseys and their Ground jerseys and their Brady jerseys.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: They were lit literally figuratively. It was you could feel
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: the energy. And so now it's time to actually do it.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: And they put me right there out in front hand
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: the microphone, and the camera goes in my face and
- 1:17:48Speaker 1: I thought to myself, oh shit, like this is actually happening.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: It's live, and I'm, you know, introducing Kevin Hart and
- 1:17:57Speaker 1: everybody's there, and I had seen everybody, and I'm like, okay,
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: now I'm starting this thing off. And then as soon
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: as they started the roast, you know that Netflix do Doom. Yeah,
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: they played that in the arena and it echoed off
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: of everything, and the place when crazy. And that's when
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: you know, like a like a hint of a butterfly
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: hit and I thought to myself, this is pretty cool. Yeah,
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: because I just remember the first time I started Sports Center.
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: My first Sports Center ever was in the spring of
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: ninety six. I was twenty six years old. My only
- 1:18:31Speaker 1: experience was local sportscaster in Redding, California, small beautiful town
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: up in northern California. And now here I am on
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: the Sports Center set and I'm going down And it
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: was a sweet six no round of thirty two Saturday
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: of the March Madness, and it was a half hour
- 1:18:48Speaker 1: show with Larry Beale and I had twelve highlights and
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: I'd only seen one of them, so eleven of my
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: highlights that I was going to be doing live on
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: ESPN for the first time, we're going to be handed
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: to me during the show. And I remember thinking to
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: myself walking downstairs, I have two choices. I can shit
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: in my pants or I can just go and tee
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: it up and let it fly. And I probably did both.
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: But that's the feeling I had for the Brady Roast,
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: where I'm like, this is the coolest thing ever, Like,
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: why am I nervous? It's on the prompter. I've done
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: this a million times. And that was the greatest night man.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: I love roasts awesome. I love them because you know,
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: it's a for the lack of a better phrase, I
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: don't think Brady would call it this, but it's a
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: safe space where you.
- 1:19:35Speaker 6: Know what I mean, absolutely, you see what I'm saying.
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: It's a safe space like and to that point, I
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: thought the Brady roast was like a Patriots therapy session
- 1:19:46Speaker 1: a long time coming, where Bledsoe got shipped off his
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: chest that he never would have been able to tell
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: Brady to his face or Belichick to his face, and
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: Edelman did the same thing, and Gronk did the same
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: thing to each other and to everybody else there. And
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: Craft being there and Belichick being there, it got everything
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: out in the safe space of you could say what
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: you can say in the roast. Sure there's a germ
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: of truth and pretty much everything that you're saying, but
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: it's all in the spirit of having a good time
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: and being fun and saying the wrong thing. And it's
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: tough to say the jokes now because when you're out
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: of the context of the roast it sounds awful. But
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: I love it. It was great, and I think it
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: not to get too deep here, but it made Brady's
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: actual Hall of Fame night in New England a month
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: later that much more joyous. There was none of the
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: undercurrent of, well they don't like Kim, he doesn't like them.
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: They're still pissed about that time. It got everything off
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: their chest and it was just about Brady's night of
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: being honored and going into the Patriots Hall of Fame,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: and that's all it was about. That's what that roast was.
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: It was amazing.
- 1:20:57Speaker 6: It was one of the best roast I've ever seen.
- 1:20:59Speaker 6: It was so too.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: It was three hours. It was because because they added
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: something like a lot of people, they were putting a lot.
- 1:21:07Speaker 4: Of Tony Hinchcliff wasn't supposed to be up there that long.
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: Tony Hinchcliff was brilliant.
- 1:21:12Speaker 6: He was unbelievable brilliant. That was one of the things
- 1:21:14Speaker 6: I doesn't ask you who was your favorite?
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: Well, Nicki Glazer and him were just dominated.
- 1:21:18Speaker 6: They stole the show.
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: They did Nicki Glazer's joke about Gronk with the with
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: the crypto like we know that not real money? How
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: did you lose all that money? You know? And her
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: telling that joke. Even Gronk knows me know that not
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: real money. And that was the first joke of the
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: night where the upper bowl of the arena laughed longer
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: and louder than the lower bowl. So it was kind
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: of like, you know, for lack of a better analogy,
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: like a star burst in the galaxy that took a
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: few more light years to hit Earth. And so everybody's
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: laughing in the lower bowl, loud laugh, and then the
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: upper bowl came on top of it and made it
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: even louder and longer. And that's when it was really
- 1:22:06Speaker 1: cooking with gas. I mean, that was after Bledsoe went
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: and Jeff Ross went and he says that he's gonna
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: gift me for my studio his roast Jay Simpson Jersey framed,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: So I'm going to get that from him, sure and
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: place that in my in my studio. Bledsoe went, he went,
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: Kevin Hart was outstanding and then she went and amazing,
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: and Hinchcliffe was brilliant, brilliant. He just tore that place
- 1:22:34Speaker 1: a new one. He was great. I thought Bledsoe was hilarious.
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: And I heard that when that when Belichick, when Craft
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: came out of the audience to do a shot with Belichick,
- 1:22:48Speaker 1: and it looked like Bill wanted to do anything on
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: planet Earth except take a shot with Craft. I was
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: told it had nothing to do personally with Craft. It's
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: just that Bill doesn't like drinking tequila very much, and
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: he had just done a shot five minutes earlier with
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: Gronk and Edelman, and he's just like, I mean, another
- 1:23:05Speaker 1: shot at tequila. Like he's more of a wine drinker
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: kind of the same way, so that he was actually
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: reacting to having to do another shot of tequila. And
- 1:23:13Speaker 1: then Gronk spiked the shot glass, which he wasn't supposed
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: to do, and I think it did catch somebody in
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: the front row. Really hospital, that's that's that's a rumor.
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: I have not confirmed that, but it was wild.
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: Was the exchange with Tom and Who.
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: And Jeff Ross. Jeff swears, yeah, where you want to
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: and that, yeah, because he made fun of Crafts, you know, right, yeah,
- 1:23:39Speaker 1: and so and he went up to him and he
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: like said cut the ship or something like that, and Jeff, Jeff,
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: Jeff and him are cool, like you know. It really
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: wasn't anything that was agreed to beforehand or whatever, and
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: so it wasn't as big as as people made it
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: out to be. Jeff Jeff told me. But the crazy
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: thing is is that moment is the was viral moment,
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: you know, from from the uh, from the roast in
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: terms of awkwardness instead of the other stuff being just
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: like laugh out loud funny jokes. And so the cutaway
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: in the middle of that is to me and my
- 1:24:12Speaker 1: wife Susie, and so we we we were everywhere because
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: the cutaway, they kept cutting away to Susie and I
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: just like laughing, yeah, you know, and I don't know why.
- 1:24:25Speaker 1: I mean, it's great because she looked out, Yeah there
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: it is right there. I mean, that's her reaction right there,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: because because Robert Kraft wrote her letter of recommendation for college,
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: she's known him forever. Really well, yeah, so and obviously
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: he's one of my thirty two thirty three bosses because
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: you know, I'll admit, I'll have a boss, you know.
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: And so they cut away to us. But it's a
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: funny joke, man, I mean again, it's a roast.
- 1:24:50Speaker 6: It's a roast of that awkward moment. Yes, did you
- 1:24:54Speaker 6: like feel the awkwardness in it or was it kind
- 1:24:56Speaker 6: of like a fleeting passing by it happened to just
- 1:24:57Speaker 6: catch stretch.
- 1:24:58Speaker 1: I was just laughing and it's funny, I thought. Honestly,
- 1:25:01Speaker 1: I didn't see Tom grow up to him because I
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: just like, nor did Susie, because you know, her face
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: is in her.
- 1:25:06Speaker 4: I just figured Tom was like being funny himself, like
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: to where you're whispering something, but you know it's going
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: to be heard, the type of thing right here and
- 1:25:13Speaker 4: you're right talking going to be able to hear in all.
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: Honestly, I think the first hour of the roast, like
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: if you asked Brady, he probably wouldn't remember it, like
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: like just it's I can't imagine being the roasty, you
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: know like that. Yeah, and also.
- 1:25:30Speaker 6: Going through the divorce all that, Like it's funny too
- 1:25:32Speaker 6: that it was a craft and that's when he gets mad.
- 1:25:35Speaker 6: But all the things about his wife also deflating balls.
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: Was not the joke where Kevin Hart said something wrong?
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: Was it Kevin Hart talk about the black like she
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: she's taken fifteen lessons of jiu jitsu and still has
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: like a white doll?
- 1:25:49Speaker 6: How do you not see that coming that way?
- 1:25:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean it was often he was
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: great too, Brady when it was his turn.
- 1:25:56Speaker 4: To yeah, roll, he was It was all really good.
- 1:25:59Speaker 6: There was of the guys at art comedians, who did
- 1:26:02Speaker 6: you think did the best?
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: Wow See I thought bled See was great. Gronk did
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: in fact write most of his stuff. Like at one
- 1:26:12Speaker 1: point he goes, I wrote that, uh like that was
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: that was him being you know, just trading in on
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: his persona just for a joke. He legitimately wrote that
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: and was proud of how he wrote that. Yeah, and
- 1:26:25Speaker 1: it's great. So I you know. And so from my
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: vantage point where Susie and I were sitting, so the
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: I'm sitting here, the stage was to my left sort
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: of like in the position where you are and where
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: Jack is over there, you could see the prompter that
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: they were reading off. So it's kind of like, you know,
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: when you go to a football game, like in Dallas
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: or if you've been to one in LA. Sometimes you'll
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: be watching the game on on the big screen and
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: you have to remind yourself there's a live football version,
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: like you're here at the game, you should watch it
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: down on the field instead of on the huge big screen.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: Sometimes though, I would be looking over at the prompter
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: and seeing what what they were saying on on the stage.
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: Was that real ad living or not and how they
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: were following it. Gronk was way off his prompter, like
- 1:27:10Speaker 1: way off, Like I felt bad for the prompter operator
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: trying to keep up and find out where he was
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: going to try to pick back up again. Like that
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: person had a like had a hell of the day,
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: like needed a nap after the after the roast, well
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: even Tony.
- 1:27:25Speaker 6: Tony was supposed to say at his seat, right, and
- 1:27:26Speaker 6: then he had he went up and so I.
- 1:27:28Speaker 1: Think, you know, I think he was supposed to start
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: at his seat and then get up on stage. That's
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: what I heard. Again, I haven't spoken.
- 1:27:34Speaker 4: To telling me that. It was like he had like
- 1:27:37Speaker 4: a minute or two at the table, but was not
- 1:27:39Speaker 4: supposed to go up on the stage.
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: Oh is that right?
- 1:27:41Speaker 4: Yeah, it might have changed, It might have changed right
- 1:27:43Speaker 4: before because he was a very he was a late
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: addition to the entire thing.
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: Well, and so were a lot of people. That's my
- 1:27:48Speaker 1: point is the reason why it was three hours long
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: is they put a lot of you know, hooks in
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: the water to get people, and a lot of people
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: committed really late, and so they're like, all right, just
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: make it longer, Like what are you gonna tell Will Ferrell? No,
- 1:28:03Speaker 1: you can't play, you know, Ron Verdi it was to
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: get out of here, you know what I mean? Or
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: Belichick and Craft. You know, I heard Craft was a
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: was a late ad and they're just like like Goodfellas,
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: they flew a table in and put it right in
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: the front, you know. And and so I didn't care.
- 1:28:19Speaker 1: It was great. It for three hour roast. It felt
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: like half that time. It was great.
- 1:28:24Speaker 6: Was there was there anything in there that the room
- 1:28:26Speaker 6: kind of deflated a little bit? Were there any jokes
- 1:28:28Speaker 6: at people were like.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: I think Ben Affleck?
- 1:28:31Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ben kind of it was a weird
- 1:28:33Speaker 6: showing right what was also late too?
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, and I know a lot of
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: the comics up there, you know if if if they're
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: not like I bet you if you asked Tony next
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: time you saw him, like, you know, hey, when you're
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: sitting there with you know, in the in the crowd,
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: were you like looking at your watch, like when a
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: when am I going to get up there? Because comics
- 1:28:53Speaker 1: don't want to go up late two hours in people
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: might be laughed out, you know, it might not be
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: the best time to get up there.
- 1:28:59Speaker 4: So but that's almost fascinating to me. Listening to him
- 1:29:02Speaker 4: because he's big into like he was kind of speaking
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: about it from the game and the science of it all.
- 1:29:07Speaker 4: He's like, I had to switch up a lot of
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: my jokes because when Nikki kills it up at the
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: top and then he goes on like an hour or
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: two later, you can just feel the room ship to
- 1:29:15Speaker 4: where he had to like maneuver different jokes from HM
- 1:29:18Speaker 4: because he's like, this isn't going to hit at this.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: Point, no doubt. And I, by the way, I geek
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: out on stuff like that. For the lack of a
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: better phrase. I did stand up in college at Michigan
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: at the U Club, Yeah, which is now a Panera
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: bread I think so. And and the toughest thing I've
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: ever had to do my entire life is to do
- 1:29:36Speaker 1: stand up comedy. It did it once every six weeks
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: from sophomore year all the way to the end. But
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: it was also a little easier for me because all
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: my friends were there packed the house, so I kind
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: of knew what the audience would be doing. My big
- 1:29:50Speaker 1: my big finale was to read the Penthouse Forums in
- 1:29:52Speaker 1: Howard Cosell's voice, you know, and again, I'm dating myself
- 1:29:56Speaker 1: for a lot of your audience. People are googling Howard
- 1:29:58Speaker 1: Cosell right now which f Penhouse, Yeah, perhaps too, and
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: the Forum letters and whatever and so like that was
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: my my act for like three years. Tried it in
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: Lavonia for like on a laugh shack in small town
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: there and outside of ann Arbor, and there were like
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: five people in the audience, and I'm like, I'm not
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: cut out for this, So yeah, it was.
- 1:30:20Speaker 6: It like a thing you might have wanted to pursue
- 1:30:22Speaker 6: or was it?
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: Million percent? Absolutely? And to the point where you know
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: where I'm I'm I'm on a show, any show that
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: I've done from Sports Center, NFL Network, my current show.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: Like if I say something that I think is funny
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: and I don't hear an immediate feedback of laugh, I
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: think it's fallen flat. So I basically have told anybody
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: that I've any show that I do, any show that
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: I do, I go to everybody on the floor after,
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: you know, and tell them if you think something's funny,
- 1:30:49Speaker 1: you know, like laugh out loud, like I don't. I
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: don't think people at home would think like a studio
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: show is worse because you're hearing a reaction of somebody
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: on the floor, Like that's what NFL Game Day morning like.
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: If you hear when we're having fun some for the
- 1:31:03Speaker 1: first few years, you know, the crew, because it's not
- 1:31:07Speaker 1: their job to laugh at my ship, right, It's their
- 1:31:09Speaker 1: job is to, you know, make sure the show looks
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: great and sounds great and all that business. I would
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: go up to him. I'm like, just go ahead, laugh,
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: you know, like the energies. That's the way I kind
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: of work. A couple of shows I've done at super
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: Bowls for my show in front of live audiences. I
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: love it. I can't get enough of it.
- 1:31:27Speaker 6: Just the energy of a crowd.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: I love it. And that's why I love roasts. I
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: love roasts, just love comedy. I do entertainment, you know
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: what I do.
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: That's beautiful.
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: I'm so glad I came on this bus to confirm.
- 1:31:39Speaker 4: But I agree with it too. Like even watching like
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: on TV, if you hear people in the background, like
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: I catch myself to where if you say something funny,
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: I might be like, oh, that was funny, But if
- 1:31:48Speaker 4: people are laughing with you, you're almost like subconsciously grinning
- 1:31:52Speaker 4: and smiling and feeling.
- 1:31:53Speaker 6: Yeah and just didn't. Laughter is always a great feeling.
- 1:31:57Speaker 6: Do you what do you hear it?
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: Right? That's what it is too, you know. Uh, I
- 1:32:01Speaker 1: think maybe I get that also from growing up in
- 1:32:04Speaker 1: New York listening to Howard Stern, you know where you
- 1:32:07Speaker 1: would hear the rest of his you know, gang laughing
- 1:32:10Speaker 1: out loud, you know, Jackie the joke man, Martling, you
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that his his old school
- 1:32:15Speaker 1: shows and now obviously current shows for sure, Like you know,
- 1:32:21Speaker 1: your guys react to what you're doing. People listening wherever
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: they are or watching wherever they are, they'll react to
- 1:32:27Speaker 1: it better. I always think that way.
- 1:32:28Speaker 6: With the media now and you kind of see this
- 1:32:31Speaker 6: big transition MACA for getting to ESPN. It's more it
- 1:32:33Speaker 6: seems more loose, like the suit and tie is kind
- 1:32:35Speaker 6: of going away. What have you seen since the beginning
- 1:32:38Speaker 6: being on ESPN to now how much it's integrated more
- 1:32:40Speaker 6: of like a casual. It seems much more casual now
- 1:32:43Speaker 6: than it didn't even ten years old.
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: We're on a bus right.
- 1:32:45Speaker 6: Well yeah, but we're not your.
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: Network, No, but you mean you are barstools a major.
- 1:32:50Speaker 6: Yeah, But I'm talking about like the the you know,
- 1:32:52Speaker 6: Fox Fox.
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: Sports tradition, traditional media because.
- 1:32:58Speaker 4: You see it.
- 1:32:59Speaker 6: It seems like it's changed in quite that kind of TV.
- 1:33:01Speaker 6: That kind of TV right there, that suit that you
- 1:33:03Speaker 6: picked out and said, this is the one men's house
- 1:33:06Speaker 6: from not a bad mop on top of the head there.
- 1:33:09Speaker 6: That's good that you miss it.
- 1:33:12Speaker 4: You shouldn't hey, you shouldn't. You ever, you're a good looking.
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: Do I. By the way, thank you.
- 1:33:19Speaker 4: That's a win.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: It's a win.
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: Now.
- 1:33:20Speaker 1: I'm glad I flew to Nashville there. It is better
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: about myself and the shape.
- 1:33:24Speaker 6: Of my affirmation. Brother, that's what we're here for.
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: Thank you guys together. Uh, yeah, of course I do.
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: Of course I do. But I'm also more aware of
- 1:33:33Speaker 1: people's hair now are you. Of course, yeah, I'm more
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: aware of it. But I yeah, I look at stuff
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: like that. It's so weird, you know, like certainly when
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: I'm watching with my kids and you're watching a thirty
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: for thirty or or something, and my face will pop up,
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: like the Jordan documentary The Last Dance, you know, they
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: popped me up showing a Rodman, you know, doing a
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: Rodman lead in from when he you know, bolted the
- 1:33:58Speaker 1: Team or whatever, and my kids are just like, that's you.
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: Like yep, that's me and great picture right there, that's
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: I remember we did that once upon a time. That
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: was Nate Burleson's haircut back in the day on NFL Networks.
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: They put that on my hair. But yeah, so yeah,
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: I missed my hair. Thanks for asking, I'll hear it.
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: But what the difference is. The difference is is again,
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: like you know, content can come from anywhere. You know,
- 1:34:21Speaker 1: players now instead of speaking after games, will go and
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: do their own podcast. You know, their own material isn't
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: just what they put on a stat sheet. It's what
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: happens on the floor or a field or a court,
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: and then they take it to their own microphone. You know.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: So postgame press conferences aren't as crucial for them to do. Obviously,
- 1:34:44Speaker 1: from my perspective, it's crucial for them to do because
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: there's still a viability in having a professional question or
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: ask questions of an athlete after a contest. But so
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: there's that streaming. My show is streaming every single day
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: and that's not so called traditional. But I think at
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: some point people will view that as traditional media. And
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: then you guys, I mean you're perfect examples, are you are? Yeah?
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, you are. Is that what you do
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: and how you do it, and you've got an audience,
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: a significant audience, and an audience that is very you know,
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: die hard, and so you may not be traditional because
- 1:35:25Speaker 1: you're sitting on a boss and people will, you know,
- 1:35:28Speaker 1: consume you in a way that's not just taking a
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: remote and popping a television on. Doesn't mean that it's
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: a different It just means it's a different world.
- 1:35:37Speaker 6: There's obviously so many more ways I consume entertainment. Now
- 1:35:41Speaker 6: for you, it was Is it more difficult because you
- 1:35:43Speaker 6: have to follow so many more outlets? We used to
- 1:35:45Speaker 6: be pop on ESPN, NFL network.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: No, you know, I hate the word social media. It
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: just sounds so stupid. But you know, but I also
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: can't say X either. So I'll i you know, I'll
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: say Twitter till I die, but that you know, I'll
- 1:36:02Speaker 1: look at that or other you know, news outlets or whatever.
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: I'll see it that way. But you know, it it
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: changed sports Center. I mean that that happened, you know
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: when I started Sports Center in ninety six, or when
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: I started with Sports Center in ninety six. You know,
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: sports Center had already been you know, like fifteen years
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: old at that point, in time or seventeen actually. But
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: when I first went on the air with that flock
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: of seagulls haircut, you know, I people were tuning into
- 1:36:33Speaker 1: Sports Center because they hadn't seen it the game, or
- 1:36:36Speaker 1: that they'd seen it once. We assumed you hadn't seen
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: a highlight of it yet, so you're tuning into a
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: highlight show to see what happened, or see it again
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: for the first time.
- 1:36:47Speaker 4: Especially with baseball too, Like you get the top ten
- 1:36:49Speaker 4: baseball at night time, you're like caught up on all
- 1:36:51Speaker 4: the games that kind of happened that.
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: Yit sure, So that's the way it started. And then
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: towards the end of it, you know again, I know,
- 1:36:58Speaker 1: I keep aging myself on the show, but with the
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: advent of phones and the popularity of the Internet, I
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: kid you not. It's the truth that that Sports Center
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: went from the show I just described to assuming anybody
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: was watching it hit already not only seen the game
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: knowing the result, but had already seen highlights of it
- 1:37:18Speaker 1: multiple times in the palm of your hand or on
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: your your home computer. And so the show then changed
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: for an anchor from being you know, somebody who's turning
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: a phrase dropping a line here and there, having fun
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: and giving out the information to being a host of
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: two analysts arguing why something happened. And I freaking hated that,
- 1:37:42Speaker 1: hated it. I didn't like it at all. So it
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: less highlights. Instead of doing a highlight that was two
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: minutes long, it's now forty seconds long. Let's bring an
- 1:37:49Speaker 1: analyst on. Like when Sean Salisbury and John Clayton like
- 1:37:53Speaker 1: like had like a school yard fights and I was
- 1:37:56Speaker 1: the anchor sitting in the middle of it, saying, okay, guys,
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: move on, you know. And I hated that, hated it.
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: I was. I complained about it, and I don't know
- 1:38:05Speaker 1: if that's the reason why I was handed a cardboard box,
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: but I was. And and so yeah, the show changed.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it as much anymore as
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: they wanted me to do it. So there was a
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: party of the ways about nine days before my wedding,
- 1:38:23Speaker 1: and so my head was completely spinning. An NFL network,
- 1:38:27Speaker 1: you know, was was the obvious choice.
- 1:38:29Speaker 4: For me to how soon after the ESPN.
- 1:38:31Speaker 1: Right away, So even right before the wedding, right away, Yeah,
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: absolutely NFL, no no doubt.
- 1:38:36Speaker 6: And there was no spinning for like twelve hours.
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: Well, no, because I had another option to like, nice.
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: Hey, here's you got fired. No, I want this job.
- 1:38:43Speaker 6: He's like, oh my god, my life is horrible.
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: All right, I'll take no. No in all. Honestly, I
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: thought I'd be at ESPN forever. It was my you know,
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: it was my identity. Twenty six year old kid sports
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: center at ESPN program it's a hundred million households, you know,
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: and you know. And then I the other option I
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: had at the time was Turner Sports was remaking their
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: Braves broadcast. They wanted me to be the play by
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: play guy for the Braves broadcast. And I just got married.
- 1:39:11Speaker 1: Didn't want to start my marriage off by saying I'm
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: going on the road for seventy games. Probably wouldn't have
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: been a really productive job for me.
- 1:39:21Speaker 6: Honeymoon, hut and so.
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: And then the other option was moved out to Los
- 1:39:25Speaker 1: Angeles and playing a flag for NFL network for an
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: executive named Steve Bornstein who was the president of ESPN
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: when I first started there, and he hand picked me
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: to start a NFL network and I'm like, that's that's it.
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: So I went and I did that. So, but it
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: was an identity crisis where I'm like, what the hell
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: am I going to do?
- 1:39:45Speaker 4: And was it was? Was the firing sudden? Yeah, Like
- 1:39:50Speaker 4: we had kind of felt like that.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: We had like seventy two hours left in a in
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: a negotiating window, and then I got a fax, my
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: agent got a fact saying we were done. And then
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: ten minutes later phone call from USA Today asking for
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: comment on why I wasn't renewed, And I'm like, well,
- 1:40:05Speaker 1: who the hell said that to them? Because only my
- 1:40:09Speaker 1: future wife and my agent at the time knew that
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: this had happened, Like, holy shit, I do that. But listen,
- 1:40:16Speaker 1: I honestly I have nothing but the fondest of memories
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: from them and friends galore, like you know, still I'm
- 1:40:23Speaker 1: tight with a lot of people from back then, Dan Patrick,
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: Keith oldbmrin Ko and I will text frequently. You know,
- 1:40:30Speaker 1: Chris Fowler was at my wedding, you know, I just
- 1:40:33Speaker 1: you know, I just saw him the other you know,
- 1:40:35Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. I love the guys and
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: Linda Cone a bunch of people I'm still friendly with.
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: Long story short, though, that's the difference, you know what
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: I mean, Like how the business has changed. That was
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: from ninety six to three. Now this is twenty one
- 1:40:50Speaker 1: years later. And that's the thing I love about the
- 1:40:53Speaker 1: show that I do is that every day, if you
- 1:40:57Speaker 1: want to watch it live, you can, you know, on
- 1:41:00Speaker 1: the ROCUD channel, and then you want to listen to
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: it live, you can on terrestrial radio with Westwood One,
- 1:41:06Speaker 1: or you want to serious XM or tune in if
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: you want to stream it odysty. If you want to
- 1:41:10Speaker 1: stream it live, you can. If you want to watch
- 1:41:13Speaker 1: it on demand, there's you know, the ROCUD channel has that.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: It also repeats on the channel two ten that I'm on,
- 1:41:20Speaker 1: and there's also YouTube clips, and then there's also the
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: podcast version of it all three hours, so you can
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: listen to it on demand. You can also we chop
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: it up Twitter and Instagram and TikTok and all that.
- 1:41:34Speaker 1: So there's different ways of distributing stuff now even better.
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: Quite honestly, it just used to be just one one
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: viewing somewhere. Now it's you can put it everywhere. Right
- 1:41:44Speaker 1: because people don't have either the time or inclination to
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: take in something live, they have a right to listen
- 1:41:52Speaker 1: to it or watch it whenever they want, so that
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: if you can, if you can cover all those bases
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: like that's the win and that how much better is
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: that than than the past? So that's how it's changed.
- 1:42:04Speaker 6: And tho, it has been twenty one years since you
- 1:42:05Speaker 6: were at ESPM. But what did you miss the most
- 1:42:08Speaker 6: from me ESPAN is going from doing all sports to
- 1:42:10Speaker 6: just NFL. Yeah, you talk about how much you love baseball.
- 1:42:13Speaker 6: You knew every single team, every single player. Do you
- 1:42:15Speaker 6: miss that stuff or was that just well?
- 1:42:17Speaker 1: I I get to still do it on a daily
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: basis on on my My Daily show. But you know,
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: if I missed anything about it, it was just the platform.
- 1:42:28Speaker 1: I mean, those four letters are pretty popular.
- 1:42:30Speaker 4: Yeah, right, you feel like that's the that's the pros
- 1:42:32Speaker 4: I'll never forget.
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: So so I started with NFL Network. We went on
- 1:42:37Speaker 1: the air week eleven or week ten of the two
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: thousand and three season. I don't know why we decided
- 1:42:45Speaker 1: to start in the middle of the season. I just
- 1:42:46Speaker 1: we weren't ready. Ducks didn't get in a row whatever
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: at any rate. So we did. We were eleven weeks
- 1:42:53Speaker 1: old during our first Super Bowl. And so my wife,
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: like I told you, she's in the bisiness as well.
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: So she was working with NBA TV and Turner. She
- 1:43:05Speaker 1: did some sideline for TNT NBA on TNT, and so
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game was in La of February
- 1:43:13Speaker 1: of four. Again, NFL Network launched in November of two
- 1:43:17Speaker 1: thousand and three, and about shit, about fifteen million homes
- 1:43:21Speaker 1: in NFL and ESPN was in like one hundred and
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: ten million homes at the time, and so I basically
- 1:43:27Speaker 1: willingly or not willingly, but again I got handed a
- 1:43:31Speaker 1: cardboard box, but one hundred million, almost one hundred million
- 1:43:35Speaker 1: eyeballs lopped off of what I was doing just like that.
- 1:43:40Speaker 1: And so I went as Susie's plus one to a
- 1:43:44Speaker 1: couple of these NBA parties for the All Star Game
- 1:43:47Speaker 1: and some guy comes up to me, goes, rich Eyes
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: and I watch you every day. And I'm like, oh wow,
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: this is cool. So I can crowdsource how he's watching
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: NFL network because I didn't know if who was watching it, right, okay,
- 1:44:00Speaker 1: So I said, oh, wow, you get an NFL network.
- 1:44:02Speaker 1: He goes, what's that and I'm like, that's what I'm on.
- 1:44:05Speaker 1: He goes, You're not on an ESPN anymore, and I'm like,
- 1:44:07Speaker 1: I haven't been on since last May. That was my
- 1:44:09Speaker 1: last Sports Center May of three. I mean, I've been
- 1:44:11Speaker 1: on ESPN in like eight months, nine months? He goes, really,
- 1:44:15Speaker 1: and I'm like yeah, and he pauses, he goes, are
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: you all right? So what he said to me? And
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: I'm like, were you I'm like, wow, I said to him. Well,
- 1:44:24Speaker 1: at that point in time, I was now offended. I'm like,
- 1:44:26Speaker 1: you know, like I'm standing in front of you, like talking,
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: like you have a mirror. I'll fog it up for you. Yeah,
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: I mean he got aggressive on the guy he gave
- 1:44:34Speaker 1: up to me, said he was a fan, you know.
- 1:44:36Speaker 1: But I'm like, you know, I'm kind of you know,
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: I got my hackles up.
- 1:44:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:44:39Speaker 1: So I'm like, but that was the general sense of
- 1:44:42Speaker 1: why would you I even get those questions today, Why
- 1:44:45Speaker 1: did you leave ESPN? Why would you do that?
- 1:44:47Speaker 6: Twenty something years later?
- 1:44:49Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'll still walking through an airport. Have people
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: hummed the Sports Center theme it is, I'm going through security?
- 1:44:56Speaker 4: You know, that's pretty cool. Leave it to Mark. But
- 1:44:59Speaker 4: just that's honestly, that honestly makes sense because with social
- 1:45:02Speaker 4: media not as big as it is now, like you're
- 1:45:04Speaker 4: able to know any move that happens, like when Skip
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: Lee's f S one or Fox. You're you know about it,
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: you know why, you know the rumors, tweeting and posting.
- 1:45:11Speaker 4: But when NFL Network was coming on, what years was
- 1:45:15Speaker 4: that again?
- 1:45:16Speaker 1: Oh? Three?
- 1:45:17Speaker 4: Right? So like we right, we're in high school going
- 1:45:19Speaker 4: into college. You almost just see you are now on
- 1:45:21Speaker 4: NFL Network and you're almost thinking like it's hard to
- 1:45:24Speaker 4: disassociate the two, like, Okay, the NFL Network might just
- 1:45:27Speaker 4: be ESPN. It's like maybe they just have them on
- 1:45:29Speaker 4: this show to where you really didn't know that there's like, oh,
- 1:45:31Speaker 4: there's NFL Live going on, and then there's like what
- 1:45:34Speaker 4: was it on? What are the two different shows? It
- 1:45:37Speaker 4: was NFL Live and the other comparable one on NFL
- 1:45:39Speaker 4: Total Access NFL Total Access to where then you started
- 1:45:42Speaker 4: to realize like, okay, there's two different networks.
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: I wonder when you're in.
- 1:45:46Speaker 6: High school too, you're not realizing these other businesses are
- 1:45:49Speaker 6: doing one. You think it maybe all work together, right, Exactly.
- 1:45:51Speaker 1: There was no NFL Live when NFL Network started. And
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: I you know again, I will traillizer, It's not just me,
- 1:45:59Speaker 1: it's literally everybody that that started NFL Network and has
- 1:46:01Speaker 1: worked on it. To be very honest with you, like
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: we when we first started. You know, I remember they
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: you know, I got on. I went on Kimmel's show
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: to help promote it, and he even said to me,
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: he goes, what are you going to talk about? He
- 1:46:13Speaker 1: he said to me that you'll be back on ESPN
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: by the spring. And it was a big laugh line
- 1:46:20Speaker 1: in the in the in the in the room. It's funny.
- 1:46:23Speaker 1: It was funny, but it did kind of like, you know,
- 1:46:25Speaker 1: hit me in the gut a little bit here, take
- 1:46:27Speaker 1: a Dutch. But that's what a lot of people were saying,
- 1:46:30Speaker 1: what are you going to talk about when there's no
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: games on? I remember again one of the final sports
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: centers I did in in April of three. We were
- 1:46:38Speaker 1: in an ideas meeting before like what are we going
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: to do? We have some time to fill and somebody
- 1:46:42Speaker 1: brought up, let's do a breakdown of you know some
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: of the top team you know, uh secondaries in the NFL. Like,
- 1:46:50Speaker 1: let's break it down. What the best second is it?
- 1:46:51Speaker 1: They were laughed out of the room. They're like, what
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: are you talking about? It's opening Day, it's it's masters,
- 1:46:55Speaker 1: it's March madness, top football. Literally that was set in
- 1:46:59Speaker 1: the room. Now there's fifteen other shows like that on
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: ESPN and everywhere else. And I think that is large
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: part to NFL Network showing you can talk about it
- 1:47:09Speaker 1: every day. You know, we can talk about every day.
- 1:47:11Speaker 1: There's a market for it, there's an insatiable appetite for it.
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: You know. We mercilessly made fun of to have a
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: show based on the schedule being released, because again, you know,
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: you know, when a season's over, the next season, who
- 1:47:25Speaker 1: plays who and who plays who where? You know it
- 1:47:27Speaker 1: it's all handled based on what year it is for
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: your team to play another division, and then where your
- 1:47:34Speaker 1: team finished in your division order, then you certainly play
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: other teams and other divisions to finish in the same place,
- 1:47:40Speaker 1: you know exactly. Just the only thing you don't know
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: is the order of where you play them and on
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: what channel and at what time. It's the only difference.
- 1:47:47Speaker 1: And so basically we made a show is celebrating the
- 1:47:51Speaker 1: the you know, announcement of paperwork, you know what I mean,
- 1:47:55Speaker 1: here's your schedule, and we made a big deal out
- 1:47:57Speaker 1: of it, and we had merciless fund made of us.
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: Now everybody's fascinated about it. Yeah, oh my god, now
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: you're playing three out of four on the road in December.
- 1:48:07Speaker 1: Like that's NFL Network the Combine, perfect example. You know. Now,
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: some some coaches don't even go to the Combine because
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: they watch it on NFL Network. They get a better
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: view of shit than they do up in the stands
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: through their little binoculars. You know. So I will absolutely
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: on behalf of everybody take credit for the NFL being
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: everywhere right now.
- 1:48:29Speaker 6: The NFL has done a great job of making it
- 1:48:31Speaker 6: a year round event. Everything that you hit the schedule,
- 1:48:34Speaker 6: draft the Combine right like in July, because are still.
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: Talking about that exactly now. People can't wait for training
- 1:48:39Speaker 1: camps still.
- 1:48:40Speaker 6: Right, there's always rumors whoever.
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: You know, the first day of training camp. I bet
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: in three when we first launched, there might have been
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: like five reporters in these places, you know what I mean.
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: Like now it's who's not signed, who's gonna get signed?
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: Like what's gonna happen? And fans are just like, who
- 1:48:55Speaker 1: am I going to draft in my fantasy teams? It's unbelievable,
- 1:49:00Speaker 1: you know, so absolutely it's it's totally changed, you know.
- 1:49:04Speaker 1: And in terms of just one last thing on the
- 1:49:06Speaker 1: ESPN thing like the biggest exposure distribution I've ever had
- 1:49:11Speaker 1: in my career were those two AM Sports centers and
- 1:49:15Speaker 1: then one AM Eastern Sports centers that I did with Stewart,
- 1:49:18Speaker 1: mostly where we would do it live and then we
- 1:49:22Speaker 1: would wait till whatever games on the West Coast were
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: done if they were still going on, close the show
- 1:49:29Speaker 1: up edit it together like folks would edit it together,
- 1:49:33Speaker 1: but it would be edited together after we were done
- 1:49:35Speaker 1: with it, and if there was any mistakes live, we'd
- 1:49:37Speaker 1: have to stay afterwards and fix them. That's a lonely moment,
- 1:49:41Speaker 1: like three twenty in the morning when you have fucked
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: up and everybody's got to stay late because of your
- 1:49:46Speaker 1: screw up. You know what I mean. That's not fun.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: But we would do it and then I would go
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: home four am, four point thirty, try and just calm
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: down because you're hyped up from doing it, go to sleep,
- 1:49:58Speaker 1: and then at five am that sh I would re
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: air all the way through to one in the afternoon,
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: and I would be dead asleep for seven of those hours.
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: While I'm asleep, everybody's watching it. Biggest exposure of my
- 1:50:09Speaker 1: career television wise, was when I was sleeping for those
- 1:50:13Speaker 1: and to this day, I will still get people come
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: up to me and it freaks me out, you know,
- 1:50:18Speaker 1: because they're there with their children to say, I watched
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: you before going on to school bus, you know, before
- 1:50:25Speaker 1: I went off to fifth grade. You know, I would
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: watch you and Stewart do this thing. Nowadays, there would
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: never be a show that's seven hours old that's shown
- 1:50:34Speaker 1: on TV, you know what I mean, like uses breaking
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: Now there's get up and first takes and all of
- 1:50:38Speaker 1: this shit. You know, I shouldn't say shit, but all
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: of this stuff that's on the air, all this shit,
- 1:50:42Speaker 1: you know, by the way, I don't want it to
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: sound like I'm disrespectful. All this stuff that's on the
- 1:50:47Speaker 1: My show is part of the shit.
- 1:50:48Speaker 4: You know.
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: We're talking about stuff that's on the air happening right now,
- 1:50:52Speaker 1: you know, and TV shows that are simul radio shows
- 1:50:55Speaker 1: that are simulcast on the TV. I mean, Dan Patrick
- 1:50:57Speaker 1: is the pioneer of that. My show was put on
- 1:51:00Speaker 1: after his on Direct TV. That's the way my show
- 1:51:02Speaker 1: exists is that, you know, is that Dan showed it
- 1:51:05Speaker 1: can be done, and so they hired me to go
- 1:51:10Speaker 1: after Dan and so any rate, long story short is
- 1:51:14Speaker 1: that's the difference as well as I still get people.
- 1:51:16Speaker 1: It blows me away. They're like grown ass men who
- 1:51:19Speaker 1: are like forty thirty eight thirty seven women who were
- 1:51:23Speaker 1: at that age as well, thirty five who are twenty
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: years younger than me.
- 1:51:28Speaker 4: I'll be thirty five in September on September.
- 1:51:30Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, great, so yeah, I will get that. And
- 1:51:35Speaker 1: I love it. You know, it's obviously a blessing to be,
- 1:51:39Speaker 1: you know, here in twenty twenty four and have literal
- 1:51:42Speaker 1: generations who are older saying that they remember, you know
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: when I when I did stuff. So Stewart, Yeah.
- 1:51:51Speaker 6: And this might sound angry, but I'm really trying to
- 1:51:53Speaker 6: make sure I know that he had the glass eye
- 1:51:55Speaker 6: right he passed away recently.
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: You didn't have a glass eye.
- 1:51:57Speaker 4: He had a fake eye.
- 1:51:58Speaker 1: No, you didn't have a fake eye. He had an
- 1:52:00Speaker 1: eye that was, you know, like a lazy eye. He
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: had a bad eye.
- 1:52:03Speaker 6: Oh I thought he was. That boy was just missing one.
- 1:52:06Speaker 1: No, no, he just he he and then his good
- 1:52:09Speaker 1: eye got injured. I believe even worse because he he
- 1:52:14Speaker 1: tried out for the Jets one spring as sort of
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: a piece to go. They would following cameras and to
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: try and see how difficult it is to make a
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: team and whatever. But Stuart literally thought he was going
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: to make the Jets.
- 1:52:33Speaker 4: Well could he run?
- 1:52:34Speaker 1: I don't. He's an excellent athlete, I mean, an excellent athlete,
- 1:52:39Speaker 1: but I mean, but but but to catch passes.
- 1:52:41Speaker 6: In the NFL across the middle and come on?
- 1:52:44Speaker 1: But he like, and he would say to me, you know,
- 1:52:47Speaker 1: you asked Alan Iverson he spoken into existence and like,
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: and he meant it. He meant it like I said,
- 1:52:53Speaker 1: my hand on the stack of bibles. He swore he
- 1:52:56Speaker 1: was going to make it. But I was genuinely concerned because,
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: you know, with with his his eye and his eyesight,
- 1:53:03Speaker 1: whenever we got highlights you know, and the paper were
- 1:53:06Speaker 1: candied to us during a commercial break of these shows,
- 1:53:10Speaker 1: we had to turn the lights up. They would turn
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: the lights down because they're hot, and they would during
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: the commercial break give us a break of the lights
- 1:53:17Speaker 1: hitting us. But he he didn't want that because he
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: needed the light to see better. So that guy trying
- 1:53:26Speaker 1: out and having football stone at him, I was I
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: told him, I'm like, really, and he would just he
- 1:53:32Speaker 1: didn't want to hear any nonsense about Yes, that's the
- 1:53:35Speaker 1: way right to use that word you know, like and
- 1:53:45Speaker 1: then one time a ball came out of the jugs
- 1:53:48Speaker 1: machine and hit him in his good eye. No, no,
- 1:53:51Speaker 1: but it hurt him.
- 1:53:51Speaker 6: It really hurts. His was more injured than his lazy eye.
- 1:53:56Speaker 6: That was I don't know, the science man lazy eye.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: But but long stories or though is you know, I mean,
- 1:54:03Speaker 1: that guy was the greatest. I mean, and it was,
- 1:54:06Speaker 1: it was. It was awesome doing shows with.
- 1:54:09Speaker 6: Having a guy like two am, three am, doing a
- 1:54:12Speaker 6: show with him for that long and you know, yeah.
- 1:54:18Speaker 1: I mean it's not just that too. I mean he
- 1:54:20Speaker 1: was true to himself man, which is the greatest you
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: could you could be in this world. It's just like
- 1:54:28Speaker 1: anybody that's telling you you can't or you shouldn't or
- 1:54:32Speaker 1: he was just absolutely pure. The guy that you saw
- 1:54:35Speaker 1: on TV was the guy that you saw off the air,
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: and he was he was just he was awesome. There
- 1:54:42Speaker 1: was just being around him and his personality and his essence.
- 1:54:45Speaker 1: And again at the time I met my wife in
- 1:54:48Speaker 1: the newsroom of ESPN, and you know, it took it
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: took a while till she understood what my depth of
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: feeling for her was. And it was matched to put
- 1:55:01Speaker 1: it that way, you know, I was a little bit older,
- 1:55:04Speaker 1: and so she was trying to figure out life, or at
- 1:55:07Speaker 1: least that's the way I'm going to say it, even
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: all these years later. But she just wanted to be
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: just friends, to use the phrase, for a while, and
- 1:55:13Speaker 1: Stuart zoned. Dude, I got friend zoned, and so Stuart. Though, Stuart, though,
- 1:55:18Speaker 1: would play both of us towards the middle, like whenever
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: I got discouraged hanging there, whenever she was just like,
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: you know, just friends. He's just come on, what are
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: you like, what's the big deal?
- 1:55:30Speaker 4: He's doing too much?
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: Exactly? I was definitely, there's no doubt I was that guy.
- 1:55:34Speaker 1: I think I probably told her I loved her so so.
- 1:55:38Speaker 1: But but Stuart would always play us towards the middle.
- 1:55:42Speaker 1: And so on. On our wedding day, there's a photograph
- 1:55:46Speaker 1: of Stuart, you know, with looking at the wedding ring
- 1:55:49Speaker 1: and holding my hand and with a big smile on
- 1:55:51Speaker 1: his face, and part of the look on his face
- 1:55:55Speaker 1: wasn't just like you know, hey man, you know you
- 1:55:59Speaker 1: find got what you wanted, but it was a look
- 1:56:03Speaker 1: of we did it, yeah, you know, like we did
- 1:56:06Speaker 1: the ultimate man, Yeah, we we did this, you know,
- 1:56:09Speaker 1: And so yeah, man, like that's Stuart, Like that's real
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: deal where he's and I'm sure you could talk to
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: a bunch of people he would always tell you about,
- 1:56:19Speaker 1: you know, and it kind of would get some awkward
- 1:56:22Speaker 1: with some people, like where he would say when you
- 1:56:24Speaker 1: gonna have kids, you gotta have kids, you know, like,
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: well wait a minute. You know, he would talk about
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: that all the time. You know, so when his two
- 1:56:30Speaker 1: daughters speak about him, it's it's it's it's the truth.
- 1:56:34Speaker 4: Man.
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: That's awesome.
- 1:56:35Speaker 4: He's a good in working in that industry with him.
- 1:56:38Speaker 4: What are a couple of things you feel like you learned,
- 1:56:40Speaker 4: like working beside him, especially being young.
- 1:56:42Speaker 1: Well, I mean it was it was interesting, you know,
- 1:56:45Speaker 1: like he he he didn't like it when uh so,
- 1:56:51Speaker 1: when Keith Overman left, there was a seat next to
- 1:56:53Speaker 1: Dan on what was called The Big Show at the time,
- 1:56:57Speaker 1: and I wanted it, you know, I wanted it eleven
- 1:57:01Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern, so you do it once and you go
- 1:57:04Speaker 1: home at midnight, not stay up till four in the morning. Whatever.
- 1:57:08Speaker 1: And he knew it, and I wanted it, and he
- 1:57:13Speaker 1: was like like why, Like we're the Big Show. What
- 1:57:19Speaker 1: we're doing? You know, we're more current where the where
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: the people like it's They had nothing against Dan's just like,
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: why are you going to try and fill someone else's
- 1:57:28Speaker 1: seat when we're creating our own greatness? And I kind
- 1:57:36Speaker 1: of sat there and I thought to myself, Okay, I understand,
- 1:57:39Speaker 1: and maybe just maybe that had you know, again, the
- 1:57:42Speaker 1: circumstances were forced upon me. But to start off something
- 1:57:48Speaker 1: with NFL Network and start something that's my own, you know,
- 1:57:53Speaker 1: hearing that in the back of my head, Stuart saying
- 1:57:56Speaker 1: we're doing something of our own like that has value too.
- 1:58:00Speaker 1: But it was also difficult to do a show with
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: him from time to time because I had a line,
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: like a man, I was going to nail this line.
- 1:58:06Speaker 1: I had a great line or prep for the highlights,
- 1:58:09Speaker 1: you know, and prep to do it, and he would
- 1:58:11Speaker 1: jump in. He would start talking over my highlight steal line. No,
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: I wouldn't steal my line. He would just burst in
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: because that was his personality. It's not like it's not like,
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: you know, it was about him, but that was his
- 1:58:23Speaker 1: you know, style is to to jump into my stuff.
- 1:58:27Speaker 1: And it took a while for me to you know,
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: have to not get pissed off about it.
- 1:58:33Speaker 4: Did he ever know that.
- 1:58:34Speaker 1: I would say it from time to time like you know, like,
- 1:58:37Speaker 1: what what's up with that? You know? And he would
- 1:58:40Speaker 1: just smile, what do you mean? You know because again
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: like you don't want to you don't want to stunt
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: any chemistry, you know what I mean? And also, how
- 1:58:49Speaker 1: do you say that without basically saying, hey man, that's
- 1:58:51Speaker 1: my highlight, it's my time, you know when when his
- 1:58:56Speaker 1: response would probably be, you know, like you can do
- 1:58:58Speaker 1: that with me too, you know. So yeah, but just
- 1:59:04Speaker 1: one last story about Stuart, just to show you about
- 1:59:06Speaker 1: some of the stuff that he was, you know, dealing
- 1:59:09Speaker 1: with at the time and negotiating so expertly, is his
- 1:59:13Speaker 1: pomp culture phrases would be for a lot of the
- 1:59:17Speaker 1: African American viewing public, and that would make a lot
- 1:59:22Speaker 1: of people who were watching the show or you know,
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: white say, he's not doing the show for me. Yeah,
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: he's doing it for someone else. And that's suddenly now
- 1:59:32Speaker 1: the show that I thought was for me is not
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: for me anymore. And he would be the avatar for
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: that sort of thing and eating he I mean, of
- 1:59:40Speaker 1: course he cared, but it didn't change a thing for him.
- 1:59:44Speaker 1: And a perfect example of how he would it would
- 1:59:49Speaker 1: make him bristle a little bit because it was unfair
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: to be honest, straight up honest, because you know, he
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: was doing it in the manner not just he's doing
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: it for himself, you know, like that's him, that's his fingerprint,
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: that's his essence, that's his DNA on the screen. Okay,
- 2:00:09Speaker 1: and so and so the fact that it would it
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: would be a criticism for him was was difficult for
- 2:00:15Speaker 1: him to swallow. But it never made him waiver. So
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: I remember again this is the you know, late nineties,
- 2:00:22Speaker 1: So I would do a Seinfeld line. You know, a
- 2:00:25Speaker 1: line from Seinfeld, which is a show Jerry Seinfeld hosted,
- 2:00:29Speaker 1: right so or hosted, he starred, and he wrote.
- 2:00:33Speaker 6: Car Kevin Hart similar white guys. Yeah, different jokes, different jokes.
- 2:00:42Speaker 1: Seinfeld was a very popular show number one on TV.
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: So I would use a lend f Seinfeld. It was
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: after it was four before Friends, Friends, Musty TV Thursday
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: Night and NBC. Anyway, So don't pop sign b movie Seinfeld.
- 2:00:58Speaker 6: That actually did really well.
- 2:01:00Speaker 4: I did really well.
- 2:01:01Speaker 6: That movie did well. That that Seinfeld.
- 2:01:06Speaker 4: Okay, what the hell?
- 2:01:08Speaker 6: Mouth open all the time.
- 2:01:11Speaker 1: Honestly, that that's almost as bad like I'm talking about
- 2:01:13Speaker 1: the Niro movie and you're gonna put up like War
- 2:01:15Speaker 1: with Grandpa or something. Come on, man, there you go.
- 2:01:19Speaker 1: There's Seinfeld right there.
- 2:01:21Speaker 6: He's in the middle.
- 2:01:22Speaker 1: Oh my god. No, he's the one the right, this
- 2:01:24Speaker 1: one right here. That's that's no, it's not. That's George.
- 2:01:28Speaker 6: You know George is on the right.
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: No, that's Jerry.
- 2:01:33Speaker 6: No, No, I just I want Will. I want to
- 2:01:35Speaker 6: culture Will up. I want him to know appreciate that. Yeah,
- 2:01:37Speaker 6: big show and de Niro. Are we talking to meet
- 2:01:39Speaker 6: the parents? Yes, yes, we're talking to meet the parents
- 2:01:42Speaker 6: and meet the fuckers.
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to put a did though let me
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: breakthrough role?
- 2:01:48Speaker 6: He went on the screen, did those two and then
- 2:01:49Speaker 6: he came off the screen and I think he I
- 2:01:51Speaker 6: hung them up after that.
- 2:01:52Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, man.
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: I love that.
- 2:01:54Speaker 6: We're teaching woldle something here.
- 2:01:56Speaker 1: At any rate, it's rich too. At any rate, Stuart,
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: I made a line from Seinfeld. We rolled a break
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: commercial break, Mike's are off and he turns to me goes,
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: what was that? And I'm like, that was a line
- 2:02:08Speaker 1: from Seinfeld from a couple of weeks ago. And he
- 2:02:11Speaker 1: looks at me. He goes, Seinfeld. Huh, and I'm like, yeah,
- 2:02:13Speaker 1: he goes, brothers don't watch Seinfeld. That's what he said,
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: and it kind of like hit me. I'm like, okay,
- 2:02:21Speaker 1: so I'm giving a pop culture line that I feel is,
- 2:02:25Speaker 1: you know, relatable from the audience that they'll get it.
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: And he's basically saying there's a lot of people out
- 2:02:31Speaker 1: there are not going to get it. And so when
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: I say something a lot of people don't get, I'm
- 2:02:35Speaker 1: the asshole. Like essentially was the subtext of what he
- 2:02:38Speaker 1: said in just that little moment.
- 2:02:40Speaker 4: Did you start watching Martin after that?
- 2:02:44Speaker 1: Good one? Good one? Man, that's a good one. And
- 2:02:47Speaker 1: by the way, right, no, no, no, you pulled something
- 2:02:51Speaker 1: from that era of pop culture as well that was impressive.
- 2:02:54Speaker 4: Will layers of your own joke.
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: So let's go, let's go here, let's go here. Uh,
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: I have have you seen good Fellas?
- 2:03:05Speaker 4: No? Oh, hang on, bring that up.
- 2:03:08Speaker 1: I think I can bring that up.
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: I think I have you would know when you've seen
- 2:03:11Speaker 4: good Fellas? Yes, yes, yes, I've watched that The Sun
- 2:03:15Speaker 4: that grows up? Right, he beats him out, beat him
- 2:03:17Speaker 4: up outside of the grocery store.
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: What the hell is happening here? Is it a twenty
- 2:03:24Speaker 1: second time on? How long are these timeouts? Last?
- 2:03:25Speaker 6: Jack's time and time in?
- 2:03:33Speaker 4: So I have seen that.
- 2:03:35Speaker 6: That was the the one of the writers, Robert Denir.
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh I thought that was Is it worth?
- 2:03:43Speaker 1: Do you want me to keep going? Or or? Or?
- 2:03:47Speaker 1: Have you? Have you seen Raging Bull?
- 2:03:49Speaker 4: Bring that up? I've seen Good Fellas, I've seen you
- 2:03:53Speaker 4: seen Good Times, Fault, Raging Bull?
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: Everybody have you seen this? He plays Jake Lamatta. It's
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: a classic.
- 2:03:59Speaker 4: Have not?
- 2:04:00Speaker 9: All right?
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: You definitely haven't seen Taxi Driver or anything like Dear Hunter.
- 2:04:08Speaker 1: You've not seen anything?
- 2:04:09Speaker 6: Were still talking about jeld Is that what we're Taxi driver?
- 2:04:12Speaker 4: That's what.
- 2:04:16Speaker 6: The autistic driver? Right?
- 2:04:19Speaker 4: Drivers?
- 2:04:20Speaker 1: Drivers over there? Dude from the.
- 2:04:24Speaker 4: Gosling Ryan Got Bryan.
- 2:04:26Speaker 1: He wasn't even born when this movie came out. You sure,
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: I'm very sure? All right? What other potential questions?
- 2:04:34Speaker 4: Now?
- 2:04:35Speaker 6: I want to know about the combine because we've done
- 2:04:38Speaker 6: the Combine in the last two years.
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: Great at it, dude, Thank you, You're welcome.
- 2:04:42Speaker 6: It's really fun with you. Yeah, how boring does it
- 2:04:47Speaker 6: get towards the end?
- 2:04:48Speaker 1: Though not boring at all. It's got no no, no, no,
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: because because listen, no no, no, no no.
- 2:04:55Speaker 6: My first question is your job?
- 2:04:57Speaker 1: No no, no no, because he because you turn it
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: into sports talk radio, you know what I mean?
- 2:05:03Speaker 6: Like you, it's so quiet, it's like golf. It's like
- 2:05:05Speaker 6: gold to me a little bit where it's like it's a.
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: Little more how we doing, although although they're now they're
- 2:05:09Speaker 1: now letting fans in, Like when Xavier Worthy broke the
- 2:05:12Speaker 1: record this year, it was electric.
- 2:05:13Speaker 6: And you look at it amazing, just going back being like, man,
- 2:05:15Speaker 6: I wish they did in fourteen, and because in fourteen
- 2:05:18Speaker 6: you would run your forty and then you go over
- 2:05:20Speaker 6: to the boys with their phones like, hey, you ran X,
- 2:05:22Speaker 6: Y and Z.
- 2:05:22Speaker 1: You're like, oh hell yeah.
- 2:05:23Speaker 6: But now they're showing what.
- 2:05:24Speaker 1: You got right away.
- 2:05:25Speaker 6: Fans are cheering, and I think it's awesome.
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: I don't think Worthy would have ran it a second
- 2:05:30Speaker 1: time if he'd already known what his first time was
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: on the spot, you think, I mean, I don't know
- 2:05:35Speaker 1: if somebody might have told him. I shouldn't say that,
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: you know, But I don't know if you'd have run
- 2:05:39Speaker 1: it a second time. I don't know. I just think
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: the way that is that now that the guys see
- 2:05:44Speaker 1: the time and there are fans reacting to it. Oh
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: you keep showing me, huh, Anthony Richardson rock Yeah, forty
- 2:05:52Speaker 1: dash not fast.
- 2:05:53Speaker 6: I don't think you're running well that's good form, no,
- 2:05:57Speaker 6: but I don't think that's a maximum effort.
- 2:05:59Speaker 4: When do you think it really starts to go downhill?
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: When I run my forty Yeah, as soon as it starts.
- 2:06:04Speaker 4: But I'm saying, when do you think like it goes
- 2:06:05Speaker 4: down No?
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: No, no, it goes downhill as soon as it starts.
- 2:06:07Speaker 1: But I know I've got a bat like as soon
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: as I pop up, I know I'm I've I've started poorly.
- 2:06:12Speaker 1: I know that you you save time. You you save
- 2:06:15Speaker 1: time at the start, and you save time you know
- 2:06:19Speaker 1: midway through that's where you.
- 2:06:20Speaker 4: But I'm saying, at what point does a tire blowout
- 2:06:23Speaker 4: and you're on immediately in real life? Like, you're probably
- 2:06:27Speaker 4: gonna hurt yourself.
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: I have hurt myself one year. I blew up a
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: hamstring doing it, And I'm like, I can't show that,
- 2:06:34Speaker 1: and mayok goes. You have to show it because it
- 2:06:37Speaker 1: shows you that more than ever, that you're relatable, You're
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: human is literally what he said. And I'm like, oh wow,
- 2:06:43Speaker 1: that's pretty cool, all right, so let's do it. And
- 2:06:45Speaker 1: as soon as we showed it, Mayok made merciless fun
- 2:06:49Speaker 1: of me and called it a sniper in the dome.
- 2:06:51Speaker 1: There must be a sniper in the dome. And I
- 2:06:52Speaker 1: turned home. I like, you're the one who said to
- 2:06:54Speaker 1: show it because it makes it relatable, and you've been
- 2:06:57Speaker 1: lying in the weeds to make fun of me, Like,
- 2:06:59Speaker 1: what the hell is that? But the sniper it's a
- 2:07:02Speaker 1: funny It's a funny line. Listen, man, If I can't
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: take a joke, this never would have happened. So because
- 2:07:07Speaker 1: this is not good for me, how.
- 2:07:09Speaker 6: Did this come about? The Run Rich Run?
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: So it started, like many things in our business, of
- 2:07:16Speaker 1: being totally bored waiting for something to happen. So we
- 2:07:20Speaker 1: were doing Total Access in two thousand and five in
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: the old RCA Dome. Terrell Davis was thinking about doing
- 2:07:26Speaker 1: television at the time, so he was with us sort
- 2:07:29Speaker 1: of the same way. You know, towards the end of
- 2:07:31Speaker 1: your career you started, you know, popping on NFL network
- 2:07:33Speaker 1: and cutting your teeth doing broadcast twenty fourteen.
- 2:07:36Speaker 6: I did it with you as well.
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: Just remember before before the end of your career, listen man.
- 2:07:41Speaker 1: Bottom line is in the prime of your career, in
- 2:07:43Speaker 1: your prime, in the prime. So TD came on, and
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: I remember sitting there and we were barely trying to
- 2:07:49Speaker 1: stay away because we were two hours until Total Access
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: were going live. And I'm suited and booted, and I just,
- 2:07:54Speaker 1: I don't know why, just out of a sheer boredom,
- 2:07:56Speaker 1: I don't know why, the thought popped in my head.
- 2:07:58Speaker 1: I looked down at the field. I'm like, maybe I
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: should run the forty yard desh is to stay awake
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: or whatever. And I'm like, how fast you think I
- 2:08:04Speaker 1: can run the forty And he said you like that?
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: I'm like yeah. He goes when I'm like now, he
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: goes like that because I'm dressed in suit and tie
- 2:08:13Speaker 1: and you dress shoes. I'm like yeah, and he goes,
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: you can't. And I said fuck you, sort of the
- 2:08:20Speaker 1: same way that I said that to you earlier. I
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: literally cursed at him, did you this is good? I'm
- 2:08:24Speaker 1: on a show like this one Normally I'll just say
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: I cursed at him.
- 2:08:26Speaker 4: And moved on.
- 2:08:26Speaker 6: He said, whatever you want on the show.
- 2:08:28Speaker 1: I'm actually able to say exactly what I said to
- 2:08:30Speaker 1: one of the sweetest men and greatest men of all
- 2:08:32Speaker 1: time and greatest players of all time. So he laughed
- 2:08:35Speaker 1: and I went down, and I had no idea there's
- 2:08:38Speaker 1: the first forty. I had no idea you could see
- 2:08:40Speaker 1: there's no one on the field. I had no idea
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: they were recording this in the truck and I had
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: no idea someone was shooting it. None. You had no clue,
- 2:08:48Speaker 1: no clue. You didn't peek go like this. This camera
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: was right, you know, and that's kind of.
- 2:08:54Speaker 4: There.
- 2:08:55Speaker 1: You saw that right?
- 2:08:55Speaker 12: Maybe I did.
- 2:08:56Speaker 1: And so later on that night they showed it on
- 2:08:59Speaker 1: total axis, surprised me at the end and timed it
- 2:09:02Speaker 1: out at six point seven seven seconds. And what you're
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: showing now on the screen was Matt Millan showing up
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: the next day and asking to see it. He showed
- 2:09:13Speaker 1: up the next day, and a homegrin showed up. The
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: next day. There's Trol Davis and they're like, did I
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: see you run a forty last night? And I'm like yeah,
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: So then they would show it and they were laughing.
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: I thought nothing of it. Show up the next year
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: of the RCAA Dome, and the first guy I see
- 2:09:30Speaker 1: on the field as a Homegroun fresh off of the
- 2:09:34Speaker 1: NFC championship season the Seahawks, and he says, you're gonna
- 2:09:37Speaker 1: run it again, and I'm like no, and he goes,
- 2:09:41Speaker 1: you got to beat your time, and I'm like sitting
- 2:09:44Speaker 1: here thinking to myself, huh, you know he's not wrong,
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: And so here it is. I guess the next year
- 2:09:52Speaker 1: of me running it, and I broke it better, and
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: it's not great.
- 2:09:58Speaker 6: Let I guess a little bit tho couple.
- 2:10:00Speaker 1: Of years, I know, And so I kept doing it
- 2:10:02Speaker 1: again and again and again, and it started to get tired.
- 2:10:06Speaker 1: You know, the bit was tired. And then they created
- 2:10:10Speaker 1: the simulcam technology on NFL network where you can overlay
- 2:10:14Speaker 1: one forty yard dash on another, and it came up
- 2:10:18Speaker 1: with the idea of overlaying my forty yard dash over
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: real forty yard dashes and it slapstick funny man like
- 2:10:26Speaker 1: where you would watch me get head starts and the
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: fastest people run through me or you know, we're we're
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: off at the same time and RG three would be
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: off the screen by the time I'm at the five
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: yard line. If you can call up Mount Cody, Terrence Cody,
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: that one. That's that's the one or bj Rodgi that's
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: the one that that kind of made it go viral
- 2:10:49Speaker 1: because you would watch me run a forty yard dash
- 2:10:52Speaker 1: and you'd watch, you know, me get a head start
- 2:10:57Speaker 1: and then watch like Terrence Cody run through me like
- 2:11:01Speaker 1: the biggest guy, but he would catch up to me
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: and he'd run through me. And it so that added
- 2:11:06Speaker 1: like new life onto everything. And so when that happened,
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: it would become like people YouTube famous, you know. And
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: so ten years ago, the uh, some folks in the
- 2:11:22Speaker 1: NFL network offices said, you want to add a charitable
- 2:11:26Speaker 1: component to it. I mean, like, look at that like
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: running through me. It's just loud, and I couldn't catch
- 2:11:31Speaker 1: up to him. And then Dion would make fun of me.
- 2:11:33Speaker 1: One time Dion ran as Leon sand Castle and backwards.
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: He ran backwards and the first twenty yards he was
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: stride for stride with me running backwards with an afro
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: on his head.
- 2:11:45Speaker 15: You know, soon the greatest athlete of all time.
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know him and Bo Jackson are are
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: are like stride for stride, But it's the real thing
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: man any rate, So ten years ago they asked to
- 2:11:56Speaker 1: add a charitable component to it, and they said, I said,
- 2:12:01Speaker 1: of course, And they gave me a list of NFL
- 2:12:06Speaker 1: related charities to be a good idea to you know,
- 2:12:10Speaker 1: coordinate with the NFL and any way we could. And
- 2:12:12Speaker 1: so my three kids five, three and one at the time,
- 2:12:18Speaker 1: two boys and a little girl, and so Saint Jude
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: Children's Research Hospital jumped off the page at me, and
- 2:12:24Speaker 1: I'm like, that's the one, Like, let's do that. If
- 2:12:27Speaker 1: he goes there, but for the grace of God, go Susie,
- 2:12:30Speaker 1: and I'd go anywhere else, anybody else to get that
- 2:12:33Speaker 1: awful phone call, Like I don't even want to imagine it. Now,
- 2:12:37Speaker 1: everybody who goes to Saint Jude never sees a bill
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: for anything. And so Saint Jude was all on board.
- 2:12:44Speaker 1: And so some kids from Saint Jude would show up
- 2:12:46Speaker 1: at the combine and you know, root me on a run.
- 2:12:49Speaker 1: And then in twenty twenty, in twenty twenty, when the pandemic, well,
- 2:12:56Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, when the pandemic canceled the combine, because
- 2:13:01Speaker 1: in twenty twenty we had it just before the world
- 2:13:03Speaker 1: shut down. We did it in Sofi and got some
- 2:13:11Speaker 1: NFL legends to run with us as well, and some
- 2:13:14Speaker 1: very generous folks of philanthropists to run with them as well.
- 2:13:20Speaker 1: Mark Glori, who's one of the co owners of the
- 2:13:22Speaker 1: Timberwolves or involved with the Timberwolves ownership right now. He
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: got a bunch of people together. We raised a ton
- 2:13:28Speaker 1: of money, and that kind of gave me an idea
- 2:13:30Speaker 1: to just not do it at the Combine anymore. Do
- 2:13:32Speaker 1: it in Los Angeles, where you can have a stadium
- 2:13:35Speaker 1: at your own disposal. You don't have to wait for
- 2:13:38Speaker 1: everyone to run, plus run in the forty yard dash.
- 2:13:40Speaker 1: When I would run and I'd be sitting on my
- 2:13:42Speaker 1: ass in the booth for eight hours, eating like sandwiches
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: and whatever. Not the best way, not the best way,
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: and then I'd warm up for five minutes and run it.
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: Not smart. So we've done it the Rose Bowl last
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: three years, and I've done that for ten years. We
- 2:13:56Speaker 1: did our twentieth. I did my twentieth run this year,
- 2:13:59Speaker 1: and it's getting bigger every year annual. It's pretty cool
- 2:14:03Speaker 1: at the Rose bu it's the highlight of the Combine.
- 2:14:05Speaker 1: You know what, and now and now we run And
- 2:14:08Speaker 1: Hardball showed up this year. You could see him there
- 2:14:10Speaker 1: with Wit Big Wit and Todd Gurley.
- 2:14:13Speaker 6: Big Wit is maybe the best human being with football.
- 2:14:17Speaker 6: He's the best I ever he showed.
- 2:14:19Speaker 1: I mean him and Todd Gurley on their own spare
- 2:14:21Speaker 1: time and the thing with Harball. This is a good story.
- 2:14:24Speaker 1: So yeah, get into it, man. So so this being
- 2:14:27Speaker 1: the the twentieth year of it and the tenth year
- 2:14:31Speaker 1: for the charity rays Susie again, my wife got in
- 2:14:38Speaker 1: touch with the Free World to ask them to do
- 2:14:40Speaker 1: videos and support of the run people from our world
- 2:14:44Speaker 1: and our role of decks and our friends and whatever.
- 2:14:47Speaker 1: And she would say, you know, how about this person,
- 2:14:51Speaker 1: about that person? I'd be She said how about Belichick?
- 2:14:54Speaker 1: And I'm like, really, I don't know if you'll do it.
- 2:14:56Speaker 1: She's like, give me his number, and then like an
- 2:14:59Speaker 1: hour later, she's just like, guess who I had the
- 2:15:01Speaker 1: most lovely conversation with him? Like who Bill Belichick? I'm like,
- 2:15:04Speaker 1: get out of here, you know. Like that sort of
- 2:15:06Speaker 1: shit would happen over and over and over again. So
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: one day I get a call from Susie. She's like,
- 2:15:11Speaker 1: guess who I just had the most Like it started
- 2:15:13Speaker 1: the same way every time, you know, with a little
- 2:15:15Speaker 1: bit of an inflection of like you wouldn't you couldn't
- 2:15:18Speaker 1: do this, so I can do this, you know. Yeah,
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: it's okay, It's all good. That's why they call him
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: the better half. So so she's like, guess who I
- 2:15:27Speaker 1: had the most incredible conversation with him? Like who? She
- 2:15:29Speaker 1: goes Jim Harbaugh and I'm like really, And she goes
- 2:15:32Speaker 1: and guess who might actually show up to the run?
- 2:15:34Speaker 1: I'm like really, And Jim heard about it, and he goes,
- 2:15:37Speaker 1: I think we're going to be in town. So Susie
- 2:15:40Speaker 1: and his wife got together and we're talking about like
- 2:15:43Speaker 1: getting them there, and so the day of the event,
- 2:15:45Speaker 1: I'm like, is Jim going to show up? She goes,
- 2:15:47Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I think he might, but he's
- 2:15:51Speaker 1: like TBD. So sure enough, Like twenty minutes before we're
- 2:15:54Speaker 1: about to go out on the field to do the run,
- 2:15:56Speaker 1: I get a call from Susie saying, because she's bringing
- 2:15:58Speaker 1: our kids, she's almo there. She goes, Jim's there, send
- 2:16:01Speaker 1: someone upstairs to go get him. And I'm like really
- 2:16:05Speaker 1: and she goes yeah. I'm like, so Jim shows up
- 2:16:07Speaker 1: with his wife, his kids, brother in law like coming
- 2:16:11Speaker 1: in hot with the cleats with the He came in
- 2:16:14Speaker 1: and and he he had on you could see his
- 2:16:17Speaker 1: charger hat and his Michigan Rose Bowl shirt is gear
- 2:16:21Speaker 1: because you know, as we all know, a few months
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: before he retired, Nick Staban on that field, you know,
- 2:16:28Speaker 1: so to make the national championship, which Michigan eventually won,
- 2:16:32Speaker 1: in case we need to run down information for those
- 2:16:36Speaker 1: who may have missed it. So he so he So
- 2:16:40Speaker 1: I go up to him and I'm like, hey man,
- 2:16:42Speaker 1: hey man, you know, thanks for coming, but we've got
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: a whole camera crew here. Do you mind if we
- 2:16:46Speaker 1: incorporate you into the run? You know where I'd like
- 2:16:50Speaker 1: before I run, you come up and you give me
- 2:16:53Speaker 1: the same treatment you give to JJ McCarthy, like slap
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: me on my shoulders and you know, give me some punches.
- 2:16:58Speaker 1: And he goes absolutely totally. So sure enough we go
- 2:17:02Speaker 1: out for the run, and before I do my run,
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: all of the kids because again we brought my kids,
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: their friends. We had play sixty kids, Saint Jude kids.
- 2:17:13Speaker 1: We told anybody who's on the crew, bring your kids
- 2:17:16Speaker 1: Rose bowls.
- 2:17:16Speaker 6: So cool.
- 2:17:17Speaker 1: They're like, just go and run. So my guy from
- 2:17:20Speaker 1: my show, Chris Brockman, brought his little three year old
- 2:17:23Speaker 1: son and was just like run just as many kids.
- 2:17:25Speaker 1: That's that's him right there. Cage Brockman and stone Street
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: would d doing videos. And that's some of the people
- 2:17:31Speaker 1: that Susie got all everyone on the screen there. Anyway,
- 2:17:34Speaker 1: long story short is, the kids are about to run,
- 2:17:38Speaker 1: and the camera crews ready, and all of a sudden
- 2:17:41Speaker 1: I hear from the forty yard dash start line all
- 2:17:46Speaker 1: the kids would lined up. Jim Harbaugh on a bullhorn.
- 2:17:49Speaker 1: He took the bullhorn from the director and started announcing
- 2:17:52Speaker 1: every kid by name, ladies and gentlemen. Nine year old Kathy,
- 2:17:58Speaker 1: you know, and she would run ladies, eleven year old George. Right,
- 2:18:03Speaker 1: my buddy. Chris Brockman's son kept running it again and again.
- 2:18:07Speaker 1: He's three years old. His name's Cage Brockman. So like
- 2:18:09Speaker 1: the fourth time you heard Jim go, he needs no introduction,
- 2:18:14Speaker 1: it's age, you know, like that, And for half an
- 2:18:17Speaker 1: hour you're and his and his brother in law said
- 2:18:21Speaker 1: to me, this is Jim, that's him, like this, this
- 2:18:25Speaker 1: is him all the time. And so I didn't know
- 2:18:29Speaker 1: who was coming. And then he did everything. He gave
- 2:18:31Speaker 1: me the JJ McCarthy treatment, by the way, that hurt,
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: like I didn't should you know, like he was really
- 2:18:37Speaker 1: he really like hit me in the chops a couple
- 2:18:38Speaker 1: of times and awesome, just great, showed up, showed out,
- 2:18:45Speaker 1: wit was amazing. They were all great. And we raised
- 2:18:48Speaker 1: about three quarter of a million bucks this year.
- 2:18:50Speaker 4: That's awesome.
- 2:18:52Speaker 1: But Jim is the best man. But you already knew that.
- 2:18:56Speaker 6: I know that personally.
- 2:18:57Speaker 1: Did you know.
- 2:18:57Speaker 4: That that Jim is the best? I like Jim Marble
- 2:19:00Speaker 4: a lot.
- 2:19:00Speaker 1: You do, Yeah, of course, all right.
- 2:19:02Speaker 6: You didn't mention while Rich was telling a fantastic story
- 2:19:04Speaker 6: about helping children at hospitals that Michigan has an asterisk
- 2:19:07Speaker 6: on their national championship though they do, but.
- 2:19:09Speaker 4: I still I'm still a massive fan of coach.
- 2:19:11Speaker 1: How do they have it?
- 2:19:12Speaker 6: Essentially that has an as ninety seven because Michigan also
- 2:19:16Speaker 6: won it ninety seven.
- 2:19:17Speaker 4: Did Nebraska chet in ninety seven? Back then?
- 2:19:20Speaker 6: Probably?
- 2:19:21Speaker 4: Who wasn't I'm just kidding got them?
- 2:19:24Speaker 1: No, that was that was the let's give Tom Osborne
- 2:19:26Speaker 1: a gold watch present from uh from the coaches, because
- 2:19:29Speaker 1: I think when the coaches pulled the trophy, the coaches
- 2:19:31Speaker 1: were like, let's give Tom a golding A way out
- 2:19:33Speaker 1: the door.
- 2:19:34Speaker 4: You guys get the writers one.
- 2:19:36Speaker 1: Yeah, we did we did because the writers.
- 2:19:38Speaker 4: No, best, No, the coaches do?
- 2:19:40Speaker 1: Is that right? I didn't know that? Rather, or they're biased,
- 2:19:42Speaker 1: they're biased. Let's give it. Let's give it to let's
- 2:19:44Speaker 1: Tom Osbourn. Yeah, Tom Osborne? What Lloyd car They probably
- 2:19:48Speaker 1: fought yd Card Carr got more. They're like, look at
- 2:19:50Speaker 1: all the future Hall of famers that were out there
- 2:19:51Speaker 1: on the field wearing maze and blue.
- 2:19:53Speaker 4: Nobody's touching the ninety seven Charles Woodson's four Michigan Wolverines
- 2:19:58Speaker 4: would Yeah, domin the ninety seven. Here the pipeline, the
- 2:20:03Speaker 4: old line that year zero holding.
- 2:20:05Speaker 1: That Tom That's nice. That's Tom Osborne. That hard.
- 2:20:11Speaker 6: They need to bring back those.
- 2:20:12Speaker 1: Night by the way, by the way, yeah, he's he's
- 2:20:15Speaker 1: got his his name, you know, on the side.
- 2:20:17Speaker 6: On the side.
- 2:20:22Speaker 1: Do we want to get into this?
- 2:20:23Speaker 6: I mean we can, we can jump in, I think.
- 2:20:25Speaker 1: So where's the asterisk? What is it?
- 2:20:27Speaker 4: You guys cheated? How so sign stealing?
- 2:20:30Speaker 1: How soft treading?
- 2:20:32Speaker 4: All the computers and technology, you guys were able to
- 2:20:34Speaker 4: watch every.
- 2:20:35Speaker 6: Advances in the game, just like the simulcast camp.
- 2:20:39Speaker 1: Just like what so so so you're saying to me,
- 2:20:41Speaker 1: So you're saying to me. Okay, you're saying to me
- 2:20:45Speaker 1: that because Connor Stallion's got people he's never met tickets
- 2:20:51Speaker 1: to shoot video of the other team's sideline, that every
- 2:20:55Speaker 1: single piece of video that they got was not only
- 2:20:59Speaker 1: pristinely but usable and completely translatable in the moment of
- 2:21:03Speaker 1: games to actually affect whether there's a tackle on the
- 2:21:06Speaker 1: play or blow anything up.
- 2:21:08Speaker 4: I think there's enough footage out there that shows counter
- 2:21:10Speaker 4: Stallion's getting in the coach's ear to tell everybody what's happening,
- 2:21:14Speaker 4: and nobody falls for anything that's going on except for
- 2:21:16Speaker 4: the player.
- 2:21:17Speaker 1: And the one and the one, the one several times,
- 2:21:19Speaker 1: so the one that was most famous, the one that
- 2:21:21Speaker 1: was most famous of everybody, they were all pointing up right.
- 2:21:23Speaker 1: They're pointing up right, and and and their CJ. Stroud,
- 2:21:26Speaker 1: future Rookie of the Year quarterback.
- 2:21:29Speaker 4: And that's that is one, Clint.
- 2:21:31Speaker 1: That's one of the clip for sure. Did you know
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: there's a Did you know that Ohio State scored on
- 2:21:35Speaker 1: that drive? Yeah? You didn't know that, huh? I think
- 2:21:37Speaker 1: they scored on that drive. Let me tell you something, then,
- 2:21:40Speaker 1: tell the number of times that Michigan supposedly cheated to
- 2:21:44Speaker 1: beat Ohio State worked so well that Ohio State had
- 2:21:48Speaker 1: a lead in two of the three games. Really, because
- 2:21:51Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if they were cheating, I would
- 2:21:53Speaker 1: have loved I would have loved to have been sitting
- 2:21:55Speaker 1: in a rocking chair and a lot sooner than I
- 2:21:57Speaker 1: did in either of those games. In either of those games,
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: I would have loved to have just blown them out.
- 2:22:02Speaker 1: I would have loved to have done that. How many times?
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: Probably you don't do this on vacation, but you do?
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: You do you ever hand your phone to somebody else
- 2:22:09Speaker 1: on vacation and say would you mind taking a picture?
- 2:22:11Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 2:22:11Speaker 1: Okay? How many times when they take a picture, is
- 2:22:14Speaker 1: it really what you're looking for? Or you're seeing too
- 2:22:16Speaker 1: much a mountain? You don't see your other kid? Okay,
- 2:22:21Speaker 1: you say, hey, you're gonna do this? Is that right?
- 2:22:23Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 2:22:23Speaker 1: So everybody, everybody, everybody gave tickets to didn't have like
- 2:22:27Speaker 1: shaky video, and he had and didn't give you like
- 2:22:30Speaker 1: ninety minutes of video that maybe just maybe five minutes
- 2:22:33Speaker 1: was usable five minutes. Then what happened? What happened after
- 2:22:40Speaker 1: Connor Stallions got blown out and the entire operation was
- 2:22:43Speaker 1: found busted and ripped out? What happened after that.
- 2:22:47Speaker 4: You guys went on the wind in the natty line
- 2:22:52Speaker 4: and then went to Bama, and you guys still beat Alabama,
- 2:22:54Speaker 4: even when they had one of their coaches who.
- 2:22:56Speaker 6: Was who probably probably give them some insight into the
- 2:22:59Speaker 6: playbook got ripped out for sure.
- 2:23:01Speaker 4: Maybe, and there's no question that that linebacker coach it
- 2:23:04Speaker 4: got when somebody plays on a team and they get
- 2:23:07Speaker 4: cut in another team with them.
- 2:23:09Speaker 1: The Connors Stallions system got ripped out, root and branch,
- 2:23:14Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh was informed that he wasn't coaching the team,
- 2:23:18Speaker 1: and Sharon Moore was coaching the team at Penn State
- 2:23:21Speaker 1: until they got off the plane at Penn State, and
- 2:23:23Speaker 1: even then they were trying to get Jim on the
- 2:23:26Speaker 1: field all the way up to about an hour and
- 2:23:28Speaker 1: a half before kickoff. And Michigan went out and beat
- 2:23:32Speaker 1: Penn State in that game by jamming it down their
- 2:23:35Speaker 1: throat thirty straight times because they realized that the guy
- 2:23:38Speaker 1: Chop Robinson, who is now I believe dolphin right now,
- 2:23:41Speaker 1: stud they've realized that he was treating our right tackle
- 2:23:45Speaker 1: like a turnstile. So let's figure out something game, Let's
- 2:23:48Speaker 1: figure out something mid game, and the coach who did that,
- 2:23:52Speaker 1: and the coaching staff who did that didn't know Jim
- 2:23:54Speaker 1: wasn't going to be there until just before game time.
- 2:23:56Speaker 1: So let's not give credit to that. Let's not give
- 2:23:59Speaker 1: credit to beating Ohio State, Ohio State root in branch,
- 2:24:03Speaker 1: and it's on them.
- 2:24:04Speaker 6: To a thief.
- 2:24:05Speaker 1: You thought we were cheating, then switch up your signal
- 2:24:07Speaker 1: like everybody else does.
- 2:24:08Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not.
- 2:24:10Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't want to hear this asterisk.
- 2:24:13Speaker 15: And I know then, and how is it?
- 2:24:16Speaker 6: How is it an asterisk? How is it when they
- 2:24:19Speaker 6: did the coach let's say, let's say Michigan was cheating,
- 2:24:21Speaker 6: when they got caught cheating, they still had to play
- 2:24:23Speaker 6: Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama, and Washington not in Maryland. Also,
- 2:24:26Speaker 6: by the way, which I said was gonna be the
- 2:24:27Speaker 6: biggest trap game, by the way, no doubt biggest, no doubt,
- 2:24:31Speaker 6: top ten team, not a top ten team, top ten team.
- 2:24:33Speaker 4: That's the hardest game in the middle of the name
- 2:24:35Speaker 4: of that.
- 2:24:37Speaker 6: He's got a documentary.
- 2:24:38Speaker 1: I'm sure it won't look good. There will be times
- 2:24:40Speaker 1: where it doesn't look good, no questions, totally understand.
- 2:24:43Speaker 4: Also, the manifesto was already in place, the manifesto was
- 2:24:46Speaker 4: built for success with no coach there. Bro, you could
- 2:24:48Speaker 4: sit down, Jim Harball, the manifesto is still has right.
- 2:24:51Speaker 6: And so if that, if what you're saying is completely true,
- 2:24:54Speaker 6: shame on Penn State, Ohio State, Maryland, Alabama, and Washington
- 2:24:57Speaker 6: for not changing a couple of signals because it's a
- 2:24:59Speaker 6: hey this week he said, this being a pass is
- 2:25:01Speaker 6: not going to be a run. And then they would
- 2:25:03Speaker 6: all point up and they'd all back up, and then
- 2:25:05Speaker 6: it be.
- 2:25:06Speaker 1: Had a month to prep.
- 2:25:07Speaker 6: A month and Nick Saban with a month? How do
- 2:25:11Speaker 6: you beat Saban with a better football team?
- 2:25:13Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you did to you guys.
- 2:25:16Speaker 4: Knar Stallions was there since what twenty and nineteen or
- 2:25:18Speaker 4: something like that?
- 2:25:19Speaker 1: Now the program incorrect? When was he searched up twenty
- 2:25:23Speaker 1: twenty one? The program started sniffing around in twenty twenty two.
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: Gave me a break, man, This guy was selling vacuum
- 2:25:30Speaker 1: cleaners and ship How.
- 2:25:32Speaker 4: About that LLC? Who was it? Had that LLC where
- 2:25:35Speaker 4: he's just getting paid on the set one?
- 2:25:36Speaker 1: Look right there there was at that point let me
- 2:25:40Speaker 1: just say this. Let me just say this. Okay, Now,
- 2:25:43Speaker 1: now now that the asterisk if you will is placed
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: and whatever.
- 2:25:47Speaker 4: You guys had the team when you guys got caught
- 2:25:49Speaker 4: this past year, You guys had the team established, the
- 2:25:52Speaker 4: manifesto had taken its course. What does it mean you
- 2:25:55Speaker 4: guys didn't need You guys didn't need the.
- 2:25:57Speaker 6: Rest of the Could you imagine believing that, MUNI, this
- 2:26:00Speaker 6: is a paper make a football team?
- 2:26:01Speaker 4: Great? Okay, you guys the most important book.
- 2:26:04Speaker 1: Well, you understand what happens in a snap. It's like
- 2:26:07Speaker 1: ship flies everywhere. You have no idea. You may think, oh,
- 2:26:11Speaker 1: it's going to be a run, and all of a
- 2:26:12Speaker 1: sudden they switch it up on you, and it's nice.
- 2:26:13Speaker 4: You look to thest and they you know, they do
- 2:26:16Speaker 4: whatever hand signal going on at a ferry dust. And
- 2:26:19Speaker 4: you guys know exactly all was.
- 2:26:20Speaker 1: Ohio State up before JJ McCarthy beat them.
- 2:26:24Speaker 4: Ain't about Ohio State. I knew something was up when
- 2:26:26Speaker 4: y'all beat us forty something to seven this past forty
- 2:26:29Speaker 4: five to seven. Oh, you keep talking about Ohio State
- 2:26:33Speaker 4: like there are a bunch of other games played.
- 2:26:36Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Will, in all seriousness
- 2:26:38Speaker 1: you were there right? Or you were there? Okay?
- 2:26:41Speaker 10: No?
- 2:26:41Speaker 1: No, I remember how sad you looked so walking out
- 2:26:46Speaker 1: on that field before the game. You were on the field, right, Yeah,
- 2:26:49Speaker 1: you're a man who's been around football, how long? Twenty
- 2:26:51Speaker 1: something years?
- 2:26:51Speaker 4: At least a long time.
- 2:26:52Speaker 1: Okay, you can tell on the hoof who's better and
- 2:26:55Speaker 1: who's not right just looking at it, just time all
- 2:26:59Speaker 1: the time. You can go out there and look who's bigger,
- 2:27:01Speaker 1: who's stronger, who's faster, and go, we're gonna have a
- 2:27:04Speaker 1: long day today. Right, Yeah, you can do that. You
- 2:27:07Speaker 1: probably did that that day. Deep down you're like, oh, ship, okay,
- 2:27:12Speaker 1: they're bigger. I knew this was faster than us. I
- 2:27:14Speaker 1: knew our quarterback isn't as good as that guy.
- 2:27:17Speaker 4: Exactly, first drive. You kind of know. So if it
- 2:27:20Speaker 4: wasn't a powerful football team, got it to say, we
- 2:27:24Speaker 4: couldn't shock the world that day, got it.
- 2:27:28Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree on that front, sir,
- 2:27:31Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens this year. But at least
- 2:27:33Speaker 1: you got a guy who looks like Mahomes. You got
- 2:27:35Speaker 1: that guy.
- 2:27:36Speaker 4: He's going to be a help of He's going to
- 2:27:37Speaker 4: be a help of ball.
- 2:27:38Speaker 1: Do you think he shouldn't look like Mahomes?
- 2:27:40Speaker 4: Well? I love that he looks like Mahomes.
- 2:27:42Speaker 1: You do like that?
- 2:27:42Speaker 6: Oh yeah, You've been playing on Mahomes down guy for
- 2:27:44Speaker 6: the last three years, and all of a sudden, guy
- 2:27:45Speaker 6: looks like Mahomes.
- 2:27:47Speaker 1: I mean, why wear your hair like that? When you
- 2:27:50Speaker 1: and why were and this the chin the chin, the
- 2:27:57Speaker 1: chin beard? Why? Like he's legitmately going forward, Dad.
- 2:28:01Speaker 6: Bond All, He's got all of it. He's got all
- 2:28:04Speaker 6: the Mahome stuff going on.
- 2:28:06Speaker 4: I love it.
- 2:28:07Speaker 6: I love that a young kid it's the same person.
- 2:28:09Speaker 4: I love that a young kid coming out of high school,
- 2:28:12Speaker 4: number one recruit overall has somebody that he looks up
- 2:28:14Speaker 4: to and would love to emulate his game after. I
- 2:28:17Speaker 4: think we all had people we looked at.
- 2:28:18Speaker 1: How about this one?
- 2:28:20Speaker 4: The fact that he's getting that attention too, I love
- 2:28:22Speaker 4: it for him.
- 2:28:23Speaker 1: How about this one? Mahomes fourth on the top one
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: hundred list as voted by the players on NFL.
- 2:28:28Speaker 4: Network shouldn't have been like eight.
- 2:28:30Speaker 6: What don't fall for that?
- 2:28:32Speaker 4: Probably?
- 2:28:33Speaker 1: Come on, seriously, are you joking with me right now? Seriously?
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: How is Mahomes not number one?
- 2:28:39Speaker 6: I mean a year I know, and the Chiefs had
- 2:28:43Speaker 6: a down year offensively than they did in recent years.
- 2:28:45Speaker 6: Come on, I'm just saying, when it comes to it,
- 2:28:48Speaker 6: if you look at it, when it comes down to
- 2:28:50Speaker 6: look at the statue between Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes,
- 2:28:54Speaker 6: they had similar stats. I think actually Russell out had
- 2:28:56Speaker 6: him a little bit too in the stats. You know
- 2:28:58Speaker 6: what I'm saying. I'm arguing.
- 2:29:01Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this question. You're starting a
- 2:29:03Speaker 1: team in the national football Ingage. You take Tyreek Kill
- 2:29:06Speaker 1: over Mahomes. No, No, okay, quarterback.
- 2:29:09Speaker 4: I don't agree with number one either.
- 2:29:10Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
- 2:29:11Speaker 6: Who's never one to you?
- 2:29:12Speaker 1: Try? Williams McCaffrey was there.
- 2:29:17Speaker 4: You got to go Lamar Jackson over Mahomes.
- 2:29:21Speaker 6: He did win the MVP.
- 2:29:22Speaker 4: I understand this was based on the year.
- 2:29:25Speaker 1: When it based on the year the year, the year
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: includes the playoffs and when you're when you're voting on something.
- 2:29:29Speaker 6: That happens before the Super Bowl?
- 2:29:31Speaker 4: Is that right?
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: Yes, it happens November.
- 2:29:34Speaker 6: Is that when it happened they start to bring out
- 2:29:36Speaker 6: the sheets.
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: Why would they do that? Because whenever, because that's.
- 2:29:38Speaker 6: When they're figured out. Yet it's usually towards the end
- 2:29:42Speaker 6: of the regular season they start to write down. Hey, right,
- 2:29:44Speaker 6: here's a list.
- 2:29:44Speaker 1: All right, now, that makes sense that I guess I
- 2:29:46Speaker 1: should know how my own network.
- 2:29:49Speaker 4: We're gonna be. We're going to pretend that it's not
- 2:29:52Speaker 4: scripted for the Chiefs. Taylor Swift comes on board ATENSI
- 2:29:57Speaker 4: can't Travis Kelsey, Patrick mahomes.
- 2:29:59Speaker 1: On a second, Is there a tinfoil hat somewhere in
- 2:30:01Speaker 1: the bus?
- 2:30:02Speaker 4: The chief should not have won that Super Bowl last year.
- 2:30:08Speaker 1: And they did it for Taylor Swift? Seriously, how does
- 2:30:11Speaker 1: that work? Tell me the tell me the mechanism by
- 2:30:14Speaker 1: which this works. Who's the one who comes up with it?
- 2:30:16Speaker 1: How do they communicate it to the important thing that
- 2:30:19Speaker 1: can actually handle all of it? Who's them?
- 2:30:21Speaker 4: How does it work?
- 2:30:21Speaker 13: People?
- 2:30:25Speaker 6: Taylor Swift came in the games with conspiracy.
- 2:30:28Speaker 1: Theories that go on, including the person I don't know
- 2:30:30Speaker 1: if there's a brainworm around here from your previous guest.
- 2:30:35Speaker 6: No, no, no, no.
- 2:30:36Speaker 1: That's how it works these days, is the conspiracy theorists.
- 2:30:38Speaker 1: They don't tell you how it works. They just tell
- 2:30:41Speaker 1: you it's just working.
- 2:30:43Speaker 6: They don't tell you, they don't give you, They don't give.
- 2:30:46Speaker 1: You the actual mechanism by which it works. So so
- 2:30:51Speaker 1: Taylor Swift shows up to all of Kelsey's games and
- 2:30:54Speaker 1: the NFL like we.
- 2:30:55Speaker 4: Got to make the Chiefs from THEE and so so
- 2:30:57Speaker 4: Roger good is it?
- 2:30:59Speaker 1: Roger?
- 2:30:59Speaker 4: Is it?
- 2:30:59Speaker 1: Roger?
- 2:31:00Speaker 4: We don't talk about I don't even think they think
- 2:31:01Speaker 4: that short term now, they want them to win the dynasty.
- 2:31:04Speaker 4: So it'll be very fascinating to see how this.
- 2:31:05Speaker 1: Year own they want them? Whose day? Like who's the day?
- 2:31:09Speaker 4: That's what we're trying to everybody's trying to figure out.
- 2:31:12Speaker 6: They want the NFL. Yes, Thedell makes forty four million
- 2:31:17Speaker 6: dollars a year.
- 2:31:18Speaker 1: Why because of Taylor Swift?
- 2:31:19Speaker 6: Because he does some things behind Dude.
- 2:31:23Speaker 1: You guys don't really believe that. Do you really believe
- 2:31:25Speaker 1: that the Taylor Swift? What if Travis Kelsey Rich of
- 2:31:28Speaker 1: them break up?
- 2:31:29Speaker 15: About this?
- 2:31:30Speaker 4: How about this? Here's what I'll give you. I'm never
- 2:31:32Speaker 4: so committed to an idea that I won't select something better.
- 2:31:35Speaker 4: And I think that that one makes you think.
- 2:31:38Speaker 1: Makes you think?
- 2:31:38Speaker 8: What?
- 2:31:39Speaker 1: What does it make you think?
- 2:31:40Speaker 4: Rich? I want to be so.
- 2:31:41Speaker 6: Close minded rich to think that this, Oh my god, Rich,
- 2:31:44Speaker 6: I want to bring this up for somebody you are
- 2:31:46Speaker 6: going to.
- 2:31:48Speaker 4: And who got very defensive.
- 2:31:50Speaker 6: Well, that's you're getting very defensive for company that you've
- 2:31:54Speaker 6: worked for for twenty one years.
- 2:31:55Speaker 1: Who's to say you're not I'm part of it.
- 2:31:57Speaker 6: I'm absolutely nfl.
- 2:32:00Speaker 1: You're sniffing it out that I'm so crucially important that
- 2:32:07Speaker 1: you just like it's like a Jenga, Like you pulled
- 2:32:10Speaker 1: me out, the whole damn thing falls up.
- 2:32:12Speaker 6: That's why you correct.
- 2:32:14Speaker 1: They'll never like I have leverage in a way that
- 2:32:16Speaker 1: I never thought I did. I'm so glad it came
- 2:32:19Speaker 1: on the bus?
- 2:32:20Speaker 6: Is that the biggest villain of our generation right there?
- 2:32:22Speaker 4: Is that?
- 2:32:23Speaker 6: The biggest villain?
- 2:32:24Speaker 1: Is it?
- 2:32:25Speaker 6: You?
- 2:32:26Speaker 1: You found me out? Guys? Holy ship? I wish I'd
- 2:32:29Speaker 1: never get on the bus.
- 2:32:31Speaker 6: It breaks my heart to find this.
- 2:32:34Speaker 1: Come on, Michigan man, Honestly, how does it work? You're
- 2:32:37Speaker 1: not telling me how it works. You're just saying that
- 2:32:39Speaker 1: it's just working.
- 2:32:40Speaker 6: All I'm saying is follow the money, follow the money.
- 2:32:42Speaker 1: And I followed my home. You follow Kelsey, I follow
- 2:32:45Speaker 1: Chris Jones, I follow Andy Reid, I follow Isaiah Pacheco.
- 2:32:49Speaker 1: I can keep going on and on and on. There
- 2:32:51Speaker 1: are great players and Darius Tony was do you notice
- 2:32:55Speaker 1: he disappeared in January?
- 2:32:57Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 2:32:59Speaker 1: What did you do went to the What did I do?
- 2:33:01Speaker 1: I told them to do it.
- 2:33:01Speaker 6: You called yes, but we got to get these boys
- 2:33:04Speaker 6: to dub.
- 2:33:04Speaker 1: Yeah, my kids want to see Taylor Swift and letters tickets.
- 2:33:07Speaker 1: Let's go there. It is out of here. It's so insane,
- 2:33:11Speaker 1: that's crazy. I said the Chiefs, aren't you know that
- 2:33:13Speaker 1: the che I think they if they do, it's because
- 2:33:16Speaker 1: Mahomes is pissed. The Raiders are using like Kermit, you know,
- 2:33:22Speaker 1: dolls to piss him off or whatever. Or if I
- 2:33:25Speaker 1: shouldn't say the Raiders did it, a fan brought it
- 2:33:27Speaker 1: and wound up in the hand of a rookie, which
- 2:33:29Speaker 1: is unfortunate.
- 2:33:30Speaker 6: For the Raiders got destroyed.
- 2:33:32Speaker 1: So I'm sure it did. But you know, yeah, if
- 2:33:36Speaker 1: they do it there, you could make a case they're faster.
- 2:33:39Speaker 1: They're a faster team this year. You know John Ross
- 2:33:42Speaker 1: whose record Xavior Worthy broke xaviors at their teammates. Now
- 2:33:47Speaker 1: you Holly went brown that that. You know they lost
- 2:33:51Speaker 1: Lugarious Sneed, but we'll see how they can make up
- 2:33:53Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, they're they're an outstanding team with with
- 2:33:57Speaker 1: the best player in the NFL. Right now, out do you.
- 2:34:01Speaker 6: Think Mahomes uh surpasses Tom Brady as the go eventually.
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: It's a great question. He's on he is, he's on
- 2:34:06Speaker 1: a path. He is one on a path. He's ahead
- 2:34:09Speaker 1: of Brady at this age in terms of scared. He's
- 2:34:12Speaker 1: done correct correct, So he's he's on it like and
- 2:34:17Speaker 1: and good thing for Brady that he beat Mahomes in
- 2:34:19Speaker 1: that one point he got plus one. Mahomes got minus
- 2:34:22Speaker 1: when I got reversed, he'd be even closer.
- 2:34:23Speaker 6: Right, But if it wasn't for D four jumping off sides,
- 2:34:27Speaker 6: maybe Brady doesn't beat them.
- 2:34:28Speaker 1: Get that. Look at you going deep now, actually, but
- 2:34:32Speaker 1: that's information that can actually lead to somebody losing. Not
- 2:34:36Speaker 1: who's dating who well, I mean, if.
- 2:34:39Speaker 6: They make a holding call in the Philadelphis game and
- 2:34:42Speaker 6: the Super Bowl two years ago, so.
- 2:34:44Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. But they'll go to
- 2:34:47Speaker 1: the offense, the offensive off side call against the Chiefs
- 2:34:51Speaker 1: that wiped out the go ahead touchdown against the Bills.
- 2:34:53Speaker 1: Did they not get the Taylor Swift memo because she
- 2:34:55Speaker 1: was there? Did they get that didn't get did they
- 2:34:58Speaker 1: did they not get the metal on Christmas? On Christmas
- 2:35:01Speaker 1: Day when the Raiders went into Arrowhead and beat him,
- 2:35:05Speaker 1: they didn't get the memo make it happen because you knew, no,
- 2:35:08Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you knew that it was just it was
- 2:35:10Speaker 1: just a set up to make it look like it's
- 2:35:12Speaker 1: not a te Swift conspiracy. You so then you knew
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: that they would just rip off. They would rip off
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: consecutive wins, six in a row and win it all.
- 2:35:22Speaker 1: And you knew and you knew, you knew that Kyle
- 2:35:25Speaker 1: Shanahan would take the ball to start the Super Bowl
- 2:35:27Speaker 1: as well. Over time you knew that? Or is that
- 2:35:29Speaker 1: part of the conspiracy?
- 2:35:30Speaker 6: I think she hands it on it.
- 2:35:32Speaker 4: Let's hear you explain the two thousand time Big Twelve Championship,
- 2:35:35Speaker 4: the which one twenty and nine Big Twelve Championship Texas Nebraska,
- 2:35:38Speaker 4: the one second being put back on the clock.
- 2:35:40Speaker 1: Dude, I don't even know what you're talking about. Where
- 2:35:44Speaker 1: are we going? How did that come?
- 2:35:45Speaker 4: It? Will? You're asking about you?
- 2:35:48Speaker 1: I need because I need for that whips.
- 2:35:51Speaker 6: Actually we can talk about Nebraska. I have a question
- 2:35:53Speaker 6: for you. Sure you have a ball club that a
- 2:35:55Speaker 6: couple of years ago went three and nine. Last year
- 2:35:57Speaker 6: they went five and seven. They have not made a
- 2:36:00Speaker 6: Bowl game since twenty fifteen. As a fan base of
- 2:36:03Speaker 6: that school. Do you do you believe that if they
- 2:36:07Speaker 6: go six and six and make a bowl games, it's
- 2:36:09Speaker 6: the first time in almost a decade. Yes, they should
- 2:36:11Speaker 6: be proud of that because they're getting a monkey off
- 2:36:13Speaker 6: their back.
- 2:36:13Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it would be great for them to
- 2:36:15Speaker 1: make a bowl game. Just you're talking about just any.
- 2:36:19Speaker 6: Let's just say no, no, no, no, we're just saying
- 2:36:21Speaker 6: they go six and six, the Georgia saying, because they
- 2:36:25Speaker 6: go six and six this year, Yeah, and they make
- 2:36:27Speaker 6: a bowl game for the first time in nine years.
- 2:36:29Speaker 1: That's great for them.
- 2:36:29Speaker 4: That's great.
- 2:36:30Speaker 6: Sure, and the fan they should be happy about that.
- 2:36:32Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're now in a very deeper
- 2:36:35Speaker 1: end of the pool. I think I heard Matt Ruhle
- 2:36:36Speaker 1: talk about how it's the best conference right and conference right? Yeah,
- 2:36:41Speaker 1: and by the way, competition, isn't it great to watch
- 2:36:44Speaker 1: now that now that Paul Finbaum doesn't have Harmbon to
- 2:36:46Speaker 1: kick around anymore, he's spreading it out on Ryan Day,
- 2:36:48Speaker 1: his coach. He's just kicking everybody in the bubble.
- 2:36:50Speaker 6: Paul Finebaum didn't mention Michigan when he was saying, you're
- 2:36:53Speaker 6: not with the Penn States. The Ohio States and the Georgia's.
- 2:36:56Speaker 1: Listen, I totally understand why everybody would think that we're
- 2:36:59Speaker 1: we're we're beatable right now because Gym's gone and so
- 2:37:02Speaker 1: are a whole bunch of NFL players. As we did,
- 2:37:07Speaker 1: you would assume that a.
- 2:37:08Speaker 4: National championship team holds the line and holds the standard
- 2:37:11Speaker 4: the same way a team like Alabama does year in
- 2:37:13Speaker 4: and year out.
- 2:37:14Speaker 1: Well, we'll see how Alabama does now without Nick.
- 2:37:16Speaker 4: Right, right, But I'm saying still be bottom line.
- 2:37:20Speaker 1: Is this college football has changed forever, and we're we
- 2:37:23Speaker 1: don't know how it's changed yet because we haven't seen
- 2:37:25Speaker 1: it yet. But perfect example is Michigan Ohio State plays
- 2:37:29Speaker 1: this year. Right, We've got all the house money, we
- 2:37:33Speaker 1: being us Michigan, right, all the house money, three wins
- 2:37:36Speaker 1: in a row against Ohio State and a national championship,
- 2:37:39Speaker 1: all of that business. Right, It's all great. Were the best,
- 2:37:41Speaker 1: of course, and we're going into the horseshoe. They spent
- 2:37:43Speaker 1: twenty million to keep players.
- 2:37:45Speaker 6: We'll just say, the most in al money of any
- 2:37:46Speaker 6: other team in college correct.
- 2:37:48Speaker 1: And you know, and Ryan Day can go on, you know,
- 2:37:50Speaker 1: wherever he wants to go on and talk about how
- 2:37:53Speaker 1: the players are coming back for the scarlet and the
- 2:37:55Speaker 1: gray and not the green, right, and they're coming back
- 2:37:58Speaker 1: for the maze and blue to try and beat them,
- 2:38:00Speaker 1: not the green. Fine, let's just give him.
- 2:38:02Speaker 6: That, marcu Estri.
- 2:38:03Speaker 1: Let's let's give him that, all the house money, all
- 2:38:05Speaker 1: the pressure, doesn't matter if he's undefeated right up until
- 2:38:08Speaker 1: that game. It's all the pressure on them to beat
- 2:38:11Speaker 1: a Michigan team that supposedly less than coming into their building.
- 2:38:16Speaker 1: But even with all of that, even with all of that,
- 2:38:19Speaker 1: even if Michigan shocks Ohio State, Ohio State will make
- 2:38:23Speaker 1: the college football playoffs, right because there's now twelve of them.
- 2:38:26Speaker 1: And as a matter of fact, the way it's now
- 2:38:28Speaker 1: done in the Big Ten, we're racing all of the conferences.
- 2:38:31Speaker 1: It's now the top two teams in the conference play
- 2:38:34Speaker 1: each other period in one big, huge mosh pit that
- 2:38:36Speaker 1: Oregon is now going to be throwing their hat in
- 2:38:38Speaker 1: the ring. And they're very very stout, if not the
- 2:38:41Speaker 1: best team potentially in the Big Ten. You can say
- 2:38:44Speaker 1: that long story short though, Michigan could potentially play Ohio
- 2:38:47Speaker 1: State the next week in the Big Ten championship game
- 2:38:50Speaker 1: for the first time because now it's one huge moshpit,
- 2:38:53Speaker 1: and we might even see them play a third time
- 2:38:56Speaker 1: if they match up in a twelve team national championship bracket.
- 2:39:01Speaker 1: It's totally changed, so we don't know how things are
- 2:39:04Speaker 1: going to work out in college football anymore, which means
- 2:39:07Speaker 1: six and six doesn't cut it, because great, you're making
- 2:39:11Speaker 1: a bowl game. But bowl games are now even less
- 2:39:14Speaker 1: important than there's ever been before. And it's tough to
- 2:39:17Speaker 1: say that because everyone loves the most wonderful time of
- 2:39:19Speaker 1: the year and all that business. But six and six
- 2:39:22Speaker 1: ain't cutting it. You need to get to at least
- 2:39:24Speaker 1: the top twelve. But at least for you, there's twelve.
- 2:39:26Speaker 1: Now you gotta shot. Absolutely, you could like maybe a
- 2:39:29Speaker 1: dumb and dumber chance, but you got a shot.
- 2:39:31Speaker 6: You know, you're saying there's a chance.
- 2:39:32Speaker 1: I'm saying there's a chance. That's what I'm saying.
- 2:39:34Speaker 4: The line is seven and a half for Nebraska's win.
- 2:39:37Speaker 1: When you say line, what are you talking about?
- 2:39:39Speaker 4: The line? Gambling? Gambling? Okay, sports betty, Yeah, seven and
- 2:39:42Speaker 4: a half. You're taking the over the end of Nebraska.
- 2:39:45Speaker 6: Pull up a Nebraska schedule this year because an NFL guys.
- 2:39:48Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. They need to see the schedule.
- 2:39:50Speaker 6: You see a schedule, do you do?
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: You have as tough as schedule as Michigan where you
- 2:39:53Speaker 1: got to play Texas at home? And USC? No, you
- 2:39:55Speaker 1: gotta play those guys.
- 2:39:56Speaker 6: What are the chances you go to that game?
- 2:39:57Speaker 4: You gotta give them that guy?
- 2:39:58Speaker 1: I can't.
- 2:39:58Speaker 6: You got to man, which going to be there?
- 2:40:00Speaker 1: Texas?
- 2:40:01Speaker 4: Yeah, September seventh?
- 2:40:02Speaker 1: What are you doing getting ready for a week one game?
- 2:40:05Speaker 7: Day?
- 2:40:05Speaker 1: Morning?
- 2:40:05Speaker 7: Sir?
- 2:40:06Speaker 4: You do that?
- 2:40:06Speaker 1: Oh? U tap color? Oh you got prime? Huh?
- 2:40:09Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 2:40:09Speaker 1: Okay?
- 2:40:10Speaker 4: Six and a half point favorites.
- 2:40:13Speaker 1: Northern Iowa, or, as Kurt Warner refers to his alma mater,
- 2:40:17Speaker 1: the Northern Iowa Illinois at Purdue, that'll be a tough
- 2:40:20Speaker 1: one for you. Home for Rock good.
- 2:40:23Speaker 4: Lord, over under seven and a half?
- 2:40:26Speaker 1: Better'll be over seven?
- 2:40:28Speaker 4: I agree?
- 2:40:29Speaker 1: You better be. Oh you're at USC. You're gonna come
- 2:40:32Speaker 1: out for that game?
- 2:40:33Speaker 4: La probably not. Our second child is the New Days
- 2:40:36Speaker 4: November fourteen.
- 2:40:37Speaker 1: Got it? So that's a no hard no. At Iowa,
- 2:40:41Speaker 1: that'll be a tough one. Yeah, you should, you should,
- 2:40:44Speaker 1: I'll give you, I'll give you eight. You should? You should.
- 2:40:48Speaker 1: With Mahomes at quarterback and Matt Rule talking a big game. Brother.
- 2:40:54Speaker 6: I'm a big fan.
- 2:40:55Speaker 4: I like Matt Role a lot.
- 2:40:55Speaker 6: I thought it was a little wild he started talking
- 2:40:57Speaker 6: about this is the NFL type stuff.
- 2:40:58Speaker 1: But my other point, one last thing about college football
- 2:41:01Speaker 1: and the Michigan Ohio State rivalry is that the loser
- 2:41:05Speaker 1: of that game most likely won't be eliminated anymore because
- 2:41:09Speaker 1: there's twelve teams that make the playoffs, which means the
- 2:41:13Speaker 1: last time that that was essentially an elimination game. Ever,
- 2:41:18Speaker 1: Michigan not only won that, but won the two such
- 2:41:21Speaker 1: games before that as well, the last three of those.
- 2:41:24Speaker 1: Is my point, just one last opportunity to come on
- 2:41:27Speaker 1: this bus and shit on Ohio State. It's really my
- 2:41:32Speaker 1: pleasure to fly all the way out here just to
- 2:41:35Speaker 1: do that.
- 2:41:35Speaker 6: A lot of insurance policies too for us, given the
- 2:41:39Speaker 6: unspeakable happens with them spending twenty one million dollars in
- 2:41:42Speaker 6: al money.
- 2:41:42Speaker 1: That's why it told us they bought That's why I
- 2:41:44Speaker 1: bought it.
- 2:41:45Speaker 6: That everyone's got a plan to the punch in the mouth.
- 2:41:48Speaker 1: I'm so happy when I just again, I just did
- 2:41:50Speaker 1: the jacket dinner in Canton, and and they they, they
- 2:41:55Speaker 1: they the fans there many of them, Buckeye fans. They
- 2:41:58Speaker 1: heck they heckle me when I step up to the microphone.
- 2:42:02Speaker 1: And for years it was difficult to retort. I was retortless.
- 2:42:05Speaker 1: I would even go on the air. I would go
- 2:42:06Speaker 1: up to that podium and say, I have no answer.
- 2:42:09Speaker 1: You're right, I can't say anything back to you. The
- 2:42:11Speaker 1: last three years, it's been awesome. It's been oh god.
- 2:42:15Speaker 1: This past year it was great because by the way
- 2:42:19Speaker 1: I go to that jacket dinner in peace, you know,
- 2:42:23Speaker 1: I come in peace, but you know, I step up
- 2:42:26Speaker 1: and I hear ohs, and I'm like, okay, now we
- 2:42:28Speaker 1: got to have something. So I always have something in
- 2:42:30Speaker 1: my back pocket to say. So this one this year
- 2:42:33Speaker 1: is like, I'm glad at least for you, Dwight Freeney
- 2:42:35Speaker 1: is here, so at least someone associated with a horseshoe
- 2:42:38Speaker 1: can tell you what it's like to win a big game.
- 2:42:42Speaker 1: That went over like the proverbial wet fart in church.
- 2:42:45Speaker 1: It was great, you know, and it just gets everything going.
- 2:42:47Speaker 1: And I'm so I could sense like maybe I should
- 2:42:51Speaker 1: pull back a little bit, that that was really aggressive.
- 2:42:54Speaker 1: So I stopped and I started on again. So my
- 2:42:57Speaker 1: favorite ones are just to pop them out when they
- 2:42:59Speaker 1: don't expect. Like a half an hour later, an award
- 2:43:02Speaker 1: was given to a gentleman from Mexico for his lifelong
- 2:43:07Speaker 1: accomplishments as a broadcaster in Spanish speaking television for the NFL.
- 2:43:11Speaker 1: And he finished his speech in Spanish, and so I
- 2:43:14Speaker 1: turned a Hall of Fame official to my right. I'm like,
- 2:43:18Speaker 1: do you mind if I do one more Ohio State dig?
- 2:43:21Speaker 1: And he just looks and he goes go ahead, like ouse,
- 2:43:24Speaker 1: I got the green light. So the guy finishes in
- 2:43:26Speaker 1: Spanish and I step up there and I'm like ground
- 2:43:28Speaker 1: of applause, you know, congratulations to him. And I'm like, listen,
- 2:43:32Speaker 1: you know, my Spanish is a little rusty, but for
- 2:43:34Speaker 1: everybody here in the audience, I'll translate to you what
- 2:43:37Speaker 1: he said and I've written it down here. And I'm like,
- 2:43:40Speaker 1: Michigan has beaten Ohio State the last three Novembers. I'm
- 2:43:45Speaker 1: so proud of myself for that one. Man, Like they
- 2:43:48Speaker 1: didn't see that one coming, Like that one was just
- 2:43:50Speaker 1: that was the room that was Yeah. It's like it's
- 2:43:52Speaker 1: like a left hander who hides the ball as it
- 2:43:54Speaker 1: takes it out of his mit, you're like you don't
- 2:43:56Speaker 1: see it coming, Like you don't you can't see the
- 2:43:58Speaker 1: entire wind up. Yeah, that's my favorite ones. Oh god,
- 2:44:01Speaker 1: it's the greatest.
- 2:44:02Speaker 6: It's beautiful to see your passion.
- 2:44:03Speaker 1: Right now. I am writing so many checks with my
- 2:44:06Speaker 1: mouth and it doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't. Like I said,
- 2:44:09Speaker 1: those winter like Winterer go home, Ohio State games, the
- 2:44:12Speaker 1: only ones that we'll ever see again are in the
- 2:44:14Speaker 1: college football playoffs. Now that game will be intense. If
- 2:44:19Speaker 1: that day comes, and I think it will, we'll see that.
- 2:44:22Speaker 4: Do you think so?
- 2:44:23Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we? There's Yeah, tough schedule this year.
- 2:44:26Speaker 6: I'm excited. I think we're gonna pull it off. But
- 2:44:28Speaker 6: September seventh, is we really really find.
- 2:44:29Speaker 1: No, Texas will be a tough one. Obviously, USC will
- 2:44:31Speaker 1: be a tough one Oregon. Michigan plays Oregon too, If
- 2:44:35Speaker 1: they do, I don't think so, No, you guys do,
- 2:44:38Speaker 1: I don't. I don't.
- 2:44:38Speaker 4: Take a look.
- 2:44:39Speaker 1: Let's take a people, I don't. I didn't. Yeah, do
- 2:44:41Speaker 1: we play? Do we play Oregon as well?
- 2:44:43Speaker 4: This year?
- 2:44:44Speaker 1: Probably do because they always give Michigan the toughest schedule
- 2:44:46Speaker 1: or second? Yeah, so good? Can we do this? If
- 2:44:50Speaker 1: we do this favorite. I know, we're we're we're we're
- 2:44:53Speaker 1: pushing two hours or whatever. We really Yeah, it's it's
- 2:44:56Speaker 1: been fun.
- 2:44:57Speaker 6: Have you been having fun?
- 2:44:57Speaker 1: Do me this favorite one? Last? Another Michigan schedule versus
- 2:45:01Speaker 1: Ohio State schedule. It's just not you can't even compare them,
- 2:45:05Speaker 1: you know. And I say this all the time because
- 2:45:08Speaker 1: Michigan always has to play the toughest schedule because we're
- 2:45:10Speaker 1: the biggest draw.
- 2:45:11Speaker 4: I appreciate how much you hate Ohio State.
- 2:45:13Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, you have no earthly idea. And
- 2:45:17Speaker 1: it was the urban years were tough. They were really
- 2:45:19Speaker 1: tough for us to get through. And now it's it's
- 2:45:20Speaker 1: been great the last three years. So this is Michigan's schedule, right,
- 2:45:24Speaker 1: we have that there it is Fresno State and then
- 2:45:28Speaker 1: home for Texas, home for Arkansas State, home for USC.
- 2:45:32Speaker 1: So we do start the first five at home. That's
- 2:45:34Speaker 1: that's a nice benefit. But two of them are against
- 2:45:36Speaker 1: Texas and USC. Then they're at Washington, come on, Man,
- 2:45:41Speaker 1: and then they're home for Oregon. And of course we
- 2:45:43Speaker 1: always play Michigan State. That's the way it's always going
- 2:45:46Speaker 1: to go. And then we always play Ohio State. Come on,
- 2:45:50Speaker 1: all right, So that.
- 2:45:51Speaker 4: Yeah, gives it always not a walk in the park either.
- 2:45:54Speaker 1: At Illinois too. Campaign all right, so now let's look
- 2:45:57Speaker 1: at the Ohio state schedule and you tell me this
- 2:46:00Speaker 1: is uh comparable in any way, shape or form. Okay,
- 2:46:04Speaker 1: here's the Ohio state schedule. Home for Akron, home for
- 2:46:07Speaker 1: Western Michigan, home for Marshall That okay, that's the gauntlet
- 2:46:11Speaker 1: right there. To start, they go at Michigan State to
- 2:46:15Speaker 1: home for Iowa. They have to go to Oregon. Now
- 2:46:17Speaker 1: that's their first huge test. Unless you want to include
- 2:46:21Speaker 1: a home date with Nebraska as a test, they've got
- 2:46:24Speaker 1: to go too penny date enough, good enough, they have
- 2:46:27Speaker 1: to go two Penn State, which ain't easy, we know,
- 2:46:31Speaker 1: and then nothing and then there then they finished three
- 2:46:34Speaker 1: out of their last four at home there against The
- 2:46:38Speaker 1: game against Northwestern, by the way, is in Wrigleyfield. Okay,
- 2:46:43Speaker 1: that'll be cool the ivy, right, but any rate, And
- 2:46:46Speaker 1: then there's that game against Michigan, which is the tougher schedule.
- 2:46:50Speaker 1: Please not you guys have a tougher schedule.
- 2:46:52Speaker 4: But it's not like it's a walk in the park.
- 2:46:54Speaker 1: Nope, No, it's a it's a it's a it's a
- 2:46:57Speaker 1: walk in a pretty small park.
- 2:47:00Speaker 4: Come on, it's a pretty average schedule.
- 2:47:02Speaker 1: Thank you for at least admitting that that's big. It's big,
- 2:47:05Speaker 1: especially mouth there you have it.
- 2:47:08Speaker 6: It's nice to see your pride in Michigan. And I
- 2:47:11Speaker 6: feel like a lot of people in my generation of
- 2:47:14Speaker 6: going to Michigan people lost that because.
- 2:47:16Speaker 4: We were not very good.
- 2:47:17Speaker 6: But when you're growing up going to Michigan in the
- 2:47:20Speaker 6: sixties and seventies, nice and be able to have a
- 2:47:22Speaker 6: success you did and to carry that for as long
- 2:47:24Speaker 6: as you had is beautiful.
- 2:47:26Speaker 1: Yeah, those were rough years too to be on campus. Yeah,
- 2:47:29Speaker 1: were they? No, they weren't. What in sixties and seventies, Well,
- 2:47:31Speaker 1: whenever you were actually there, Yeah, I was there in
- 2:47:34Speaker 1: the late eighties. You know what, which is for you?
- 2:47:38Speaker 1: Like practically the sixties and seventies, it would be the
- 2:47:40Speaker 1: same thing.
- 2:47:40Speaker 6: You can bundle up sixty seventies, eighties all on a ball.
- 2:47:43Speaker 6: That's all the same.
- 2:47:44Speaker 1: To me, My staying power is just uncomparable, though you can't.
- 2:47:48Speaker 1: I'm good. Don't worry about it. I might be even
- 2:47:51Speaker 1: old to you, but I'm good.
- 2:47:53Speaker 4: Should we order a few keys to your longevity?
- 2:47:56Speaker 1: Oh? My gosh, well, you know what keeps me alive. Yeah,
- 2:48:01Speaker 1: Taylor Swift controversies, Oh god, they're just great. I can't
- 2:48:05Speaker 1: get enough of those.
- 2:48:08Speaker 4: No, but there are like you're, i won't say that,
- 2:48:10Speaker 4: one of the few, but also like you've been somebody
- 2:48:13Speaker 4: who's adapted as the world of TV and social media
- 2:48:17Speaker 4: and everything else too. Like when you look back at
- 2:48:19Speaker 4: some of the things that have that have captured the
- 2:48:21Speaker 4: game at this high of a level, I mean is
- 2:48:23Speaker 4: impressive because we can joke about all the older generations,
- 2:48:26Speaker 4: the old head you talk to in your fan base, YadA, YadA, YadA.
- 2:48:29Speaker 4: But I feel like there are certain things you got
- 2:48:30Speaker 4: to have to kind of keep your stay in this
- 2:48:33Speaker 4: food chain the way you have for the last time.
- 2:48:35Speaker 1: That's a good question. I just go to work and
- 2:48:38Speaker 1: be myself, you know, every day every day with a
- 2:48:42Speaker 1: great group of folks who has stuck with me on
- 2:48:44Speaker 1: my show through you know, different corporations, birthing it, picking
- 2:48:51Speaker 1: it up, being partners COVID, my god, and the last
- 2:48:56Speaker 1: five years I've I've owned the show, and so you know,
- 2:49:00Speaker 1: not only are we colleagues and friends, but you know,
- 2:49:03Speaker 1: I'm I'm eventually somebody where the buck stops and every
- 2:49:08Speaker 1: day we just figure out what are we going to
- 2:49:11Speaker 1: talk about? And thankfully people dig it, you know. And
- 2:49:15Speaker 1: I honestly, I don't think about how I'm going to
- 2:49:18Speaker 1: be young today, or let's talk to the to the
- 2:49:22Speaker 1: to the kids. I'm just myself and I'm just thankful
- 2:49:25Speaker 1: that it that I still have people are interested in
- 2:49:29Speaker 1: what I have to say.
- 2:49:31Speaker 4: As ESPN ever approached you to acquire your show, we.
- 2:49:35Speaker 1: Have had conversations about it in the past, but it's
- 2:49:37Speaker 1: just never happened for various reasons. I like I said,
- 2:49:40Speaker 1: I have no quarrel with them.
- 2:49:43Speaker 4: I had to feel pretty good, all.
- 2:49:44Speaker 1: Well, I mean it part of me feels like, you know,
- 2:49:48Speaker 1: that's my DNA as it started with the ESPN and
- 2:49:53Speaker 1: and they're they're they're part of my career and obviously
- 2:49:58Speaker 1: they're as big as ever, you know. And I love
- 2:50:03Speaker 1: so many people who are there, from steven A and
- 2:50:06Speaker 1: Pat you know. I saw Pat at the combine and
- 2:50:10Speaker 1: I have nothing but love for for everyone there. So
- 2:50:15Speaker 1: they're always going to be in my thoughts all the time.
- 2:50:19Speaker 1: But it's never happened, just hasn't happened yet yet. If
- 2:50:22Speaker 1: not yet, I did say yet but I don't say, yeah,
- 2:50:24Speaker 1: I don't know who knows the life?
- 2:50:28Speaker 6: Do we want to do tear talk?
- 2:50:30Speaker 4: Absolutely? I love the tier talk that Okay Sureman had
- 2:50:33Speaker 4: set up for us kids team sport movies. Okay, will
- 2:50:36Speaker 4: be our topic. Are you familiar with tiar talk?
- 2:50:38Speaker 7: Go for it?

- 2:50:46Speaker 1: type of situation.
- 2:50:47Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not like cutting a tier three.
- 2:50:48Speaker 1: Okay, So one, two, three, It doesn't have to be those.

- 2:56:58Speaker 6: Okay, that's the way you said it too, with your face.

- 2:57:11Speaker 1: Sports, ice box.
- 2:57:17Speaker 4: Radical, Hoosiers.
- 2:57:22Speaker 1: Okay, that's not a bad one. Hoosiers. It should have
- 2:57:24Speaker 1: been number one on my list. I don't know that
- 2:57:26Speaker 1: was included.
- 2:57:28Speaker 6: I never seen it.

- 2:57:45Speaker 1: in standard definition. Dude, it's Gene Hackman. It's it's it's
- 2:57:49Speaker 1: a story of of of I've heard David beating Goliath.
- 2:57:55Speaker 1: It's it is.
- 2:57:56Speaker 4: It's like, it is a movie. You have to see it.
- 2:57:59Speaker 1: It's that it's my number one sports movie.
- 2:58:01Speaker 6: I feel, I feel.
- 2:58:03Speaker 1: It's my number one sports movie.
- 2:58:06Speaker 4: You didn't say that.
- 2:58:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's done by the same people who did Rudy,
- 2:58:08Speaker 1: if that means anything to you. I hate Rudy because
- 2:58:11Speaker 1: I hate Notre Dame. Like I I watched Rudy hoping
- 2:58:14Speaker 1: he like Pops a Quade, you know what I mean.
- 2:58:17Speaker 6: I've also I've never seen Rudy.
- 2:58:19Speaker 4: That's all right, that's okay.
- 2:58:21Speaker 1: It is a great sport.
- 2:58:22Speaker 4: You enjoy seeing Rudy fail, and then, oh.
- 2:58:24Speaker 1: My god, it would be great, and I was. I
- 2:58:26Speaker 1: was told by David Ansbag, the director of Rudy, that
- 2:58:29Speaker 1: Rudy has heard me say this before and wants to
- 2:58:31Speaker 1: fight me over it.
- 2:58:32Speaker 6: Really yeah?
- 2:58:33Speaker 4: Nice? Would you yes?
- 2:58:34Speaker 1: Huh?
- 2:58:34Speaker 6: Would you fight him?
- 2:58:36Speaker 1: Absolutely? And I'm a lover, not a fighter. Absolutely all right.
- 2:58:42Speaker 1: So I've got a question for you guys.
- 2:58:43Speaker 4: Well you're you gonna finish your I'll go quickly, so
- 2:58:48Speaker 4: says I did. For I forget and I am so
- 2:58:50Speaker 4: disappointed that I forgot the saying lot. But the same
- 2:58:53Speaker 4: lot is in there is as my as my tier three.
- 2:58:56Speaker 4: My tier two is going to be Space Jam. I
- 2:59:02Speaker 4: think Space Jam when Little MJ's there at the at
- 2:59:05Speaker 4: the free throw line at night time to start the movie.
- 2:59:07Speaker 4: It's like you start the dream as a kid. Space
- 2:59:10Speaker 4: Sham is my tier two, and my tier one is
- 2:59:13Speaker 4: The Little Giants. In fact, that is the movie I
- 2:59:15Speaker 4: watched the most, and that one time coming into Fruition
- 2:59:19Speaker 4: against the Dallas Cowboys. I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan growing up,
- 2:59:22Speaker 4: so parts of it kind of sucks seeing them lose,
- 2:59:24Speaker 4: but I loved watching the Little Giants pull out the
- 2:59:26Speaker 4: one at the end. But Little Giants is my tier one.
- 2:59:28Speaker 1: All right.
- 2:59:30Speaker 15: Have to go a word for that, Timfoil, Are you
- 2:59:35Speaker 15: just projecting?
- 2:59:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I am just projecting. I think it's a conspiracy
- 2:59:40Speaker 1: that you chose little giants.
- 2:59:43Speaker 4: All the money.
- 2:59:44Speaker 1: It's a conspiracy against actual giants that you would choose
- 2:59:47Speaker 1: little giants so on behalf of all giants. You know
- 2:59:50Speaker 1: that you don't like them, So I think that's that's
- 2:59:53Speaker 1: why I went ten folds. Okay, yeah, I don't. Don't
- 2:59:56Speaker 1: ask me to explain how it works. I just know
- 2:59:57Speaker 1: it's working.
- 2:59:59Speaker 4: You don't have real information.
- 3:00:00Speaker 1: I know that's more than one word.
- 3:00:03Speaker 4: Hyphen o. That right, Okay, cool rushed.
- 3:00:11Speaker 12: Bubble wrap classics.
- 3:00:15Speaker 15: Annexation to Puerto Rico.
- 3:00:17Speaker 1: Nice, Yes, sir, that's right, hopeful, inspiring, becky solid.
- 3:00:27Speaker 6: Well, did you have any questions for us?
- 3:00:29Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, this is my final question for you guys,
- 3:00:33Speaker 1: because we have one more for you. Well, okay, when
- 3:00:39Speaker 1: does Jack get his Silverano? That's a great question, honestly,
- 3:00:48Speaker 1: the one situation, the one of the many angry responses
- 3:00:55Speaker 1: I've gotten from your fan base with each photograph that
- 3:00:59Speaker 1: Jack pot. The most common response was that I'm disrespecting
- 3:01:06Speaker 1: Jack by not coming on the bus. That on behalf
- 3:01:12Speaker 1: of Jack guys helping guys, or or guy who works
- 3:01:18Speaker 1: hard not getting rewarded because I'm too elitist or high
- 3:01:22Speaker 1: falutant to actually be on this program. That is the
- 3:01:27Speaker 1: number one most common angry response to my lack of
- 3:01:32Speaker 1: appearing on this program is that I'm I'm denying Jack
- 3:01:37Speaker 1: his Chevy Silverado for posting every day, and so now
- 3:01:41Speaker 1: I'm asking, how do how do we how do we
- 3:01:44Speaker 1: make this happen?
- 3:01:45Speaker 6: Can we hold for just one second? Look something up?
- 3:01:49Speaker 1: Sure?
- 3:01:49Speaker 4: Please?
- 3:01:51Speaker 1: Like what the title of his car like? Is that
- 3:01:52Speaker 1: what you're looking up?
- 3:01:54Speaker 4: I think the stipulations where he can't miss a day?
- 3:01:59Speaker 1: What you saying? Are you saying he missed a day?
- 3:02:02Speaker 4: There are rumors swirling that there are multiple days that
- 3:02:07Speaker 4: are at question.
- 3:02:08Speaker 1: Are you saying that I finally here, I made it
- 3:02:13Speaker 1: to the bus. We have put together two hours of
- 3:02:17Speaker 1: high quality video and audio entertainment. I believe.
- 3:02:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:02:23Speaker 6: And while you're talking about I have it right now, we.
- 3:02:25Speaker 1: Have reached the end of the line. And you're saying
- 3:02:30Speaker 1: he doesn't get the Chevy Silver.
- 3:02:32Speaker 6: That's not what we're saying.
- 3:02:34Speaker 1: Okay, So what are you saying?
- 3:02:36Speaker 4: There are days in question, Jack that we have to verify.
- 3:02:40Speaker 12: Listen to the hearsay. This is is just a witch hunt.
- 3:02:43Speaker 6: Right now.
- 3:02:47Speaker 4: Here's here's all.
- 3:02:50Speaker 6: As of right now, Jack McPherson's Chevy Silverado is in
- 3:02:52Speaker 6: review in review. In I will say this like we're
- 3:02:57Speaker 6: under the hood here under We're under the hood, Jack,
- 3:03:00Speaker 6: Do you have the microphone in your hand?
- 3:03:01Speaker 2: I do?
- 3:03:02Speaker 6: Did you ever miss one.
- 3:03:04Speaker 12: Day seven hundred and seventy two today?
- 3:03:07Speaker 6: I want you to really seven.
- 3:03:09Speaker 12: Hundred and seventy two, don't do this brain word.
- 3:03:11Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I'm I'm true. This is I'm
- 3:03:13Speaker 6: truly trying to cover every basis because I'm not just
- 3:03:15Speaker 6: thinking about this conversation right here. I know the Internet
- 3:03:18Speaker 6: wants you to have your show of Ea Serrado, and.
- 3:03:19Speaker 2: I know the deal world wants the world the world
- 3:03:22Speaker 2: You don't no, no, no, I do because the internet
- 3:03:24Speaker 2: will here I do.
- 3:03:25Speaker 6: But just listen to what I'm saying.
- 3:03:27Speaker 4: We know you want to ship.
- 3:03:30Speaker 6: Rich wants you to have it, will and I want you.
- 3:03:31Speaker 4: To have it.
- 3:03:32Speaker 6: The rules of engagement who are it has to be
- 3:03:35Speaker 6: every single day until Rich Eisen comes on the bus today.
- 3:03:38Speaker 12: Seven and seventy two we will go into today.
- 3:03:41Speaker 6: We will now go into a review to check every
- 3:03:44Speaker 6: seven hundred and seventy two days. If you've missed one's
- 3:03:47Speaker 6: an audit, then you were willing to say I really
- 3:03:50Speaker 6: went full corporate here. If you're willing to miss one,
- 3:03:53Speaker 6: If you missed one, are you willing to say you
- 3:03:55Speaker 6: do not deserve it a contract? If you missed one,
- 3:03:59Speaker 6: are you saying you don't deserve a Chevy Selrado if.
- 3:04:02Speaker 4: You missed it?
- 3:04:04Speaker 6: I asked you a question. I asked you a question,
- 3:04:06Speaker 6: and I'm saying, if the rules, if the rules were
- 3:04:09Speaker 6: every single day for seven hundred and you said and
- 3:04:12Speaker 6: you said no? Immediately you said no, did you when
- 3:04:15Speaker 6: I asked you if you missed the day? I'm asking you,
- 3:04:17Speaker 6: if you missed one day, do you deserve the Chevy Sierrado?
- 3:04:22Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 3:04:23Speaker 6: What if you missed two?
- 3:04:25Speaker 12: I mean there's seven and seventy two days, Jack.
- 3:04:28Speaker 1: How many days did you miss? Did you miss zero? Brainworm?
- 3:04:32Speaker 1: And by the way, if I've left any lasting impact here,
- 3:04:35Speaker 1: the fact that that that that brainworm is now officially
- 3:04:39Speaker 1: part of the bust and lexicon as a shorthand for
- 3:04:42Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, I'd be very happy. Number one number two.
- 3:04:46Speaker 1: I'm here for you, Jack, literally, not just here for
- 3:04:48Speaker 1: me and for the Busting franchise. I'm here for you, Okay,
- 3:04:53Speaker 1: So Richard, listen, I've appreciated the deep cuts, and I
- 3:04:57Speaker 1: appreciated the the you know, the easy cut. I've appreciated
- 3:05:01Speaker 1: your hard work and dedication. You know, the rule was
- 3:05:04Speaker 1: for you to not miss a day. I think there
- 3:05:06Speaker 1: should be a grace period. Personally, I think there should
- 3:05:08Speaker 1: be a little wiggle room.
- 3:05:09Speaker 4: How many rich would like to hell, Yeah, that's a
- 3:05:19Speaker 4: great that's a great speech, suggest that amazing. You're the man.
- 3:05:22Speaker 1: You're you're the man, dude.
- 3:05:23Speaker 6: People people are showing up.
- 3:05:25Speaker 1: You are the man.
- 3:05:26Speaker 4: You're here for him.
- 3:05:27Speaker 1: My contributions to this cause have been two things. One
- 3:05:32Speaker 1: having such a vast array of photos from which to
- 3:05:36Speaker 1: choose to allow you to do what you've done, and
- 3:05:39Speaker 1: then showing up. That's it. After that you're on your own.
- 3:05:41Speaker 1: But I'm here for you, and I think you should
- 3:05:45Speaker 1: get a little bit of wiggle room. But you're saying
- 3:05:47Speaker 1: that there's no wiggle room. You've done it for seven
- 3:05:49Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two straight days, Okay, And that's the
- 3:05:54Speaker 1: things when this gets posted later on right yeaeah, Okay.
- 3:05:58Speaker 1: Sometimes we haven't figured it out if does he now
- 3:06:00Speaker 1: host every single day? Because I'm assuming, you know, I think.
- 3:06:03Speaker 6: He continues a post until we decide we're going to
- 3:06:05Speaker 6: release them.
- 3:06:05Speaker 1: Correct, yes's what you got to do.
- 3:06:06Speaker 6: But obviously if he misses a day in this period,
- 3:06:08Speaker 6: it's like that.
- 3:06:09Speaker 1: Would be now that now Now, to use the phrase
- 3:06:13Speaker 1: from a good fellas, I got to turn my back
- 3:06:15Speaker 1: on you at that point in time. Do you miss
- 3:06:16Speaker 1: anything between now and then? Seriously? So we will continue, yes,
- 3:06:20Speaker 1: we until until we reveal.
- 3:06:22Speaker 6: But I really want to iron this out because I
- 3:06:25Speaker 6: want to do I want to do what's right, and
- 3:06:27Speaker 6: I want to do what the people deserve. If you
- 3:06:30Speaker 6: were to miss a couple of days, how many day
- 3:06:32Speaker 6: grace period would you say Jack should have.
- 3:06:36Speaker 1: Let's just say.
- 3:06:38Speaker 6: It's got to be single digits to it.
- 3:06:40Speaker 1: No, no, no, very low, single digit okay, very I
- 3:06:44Speaker 1: thought you were say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 3:06:46Speaker 1: you're doing. So seven hundred and seventy one days is
- 3:06:50Speaker 1: what we're you know, more than two years. Do we
- 3:06:54Speaker 1: give him two days a year?
- 3:06:56Speaker 6: So four total?
- 3:06:57Speaker 1: Four total? I mean people get five days of vacation,
- 3:07:01Speaker 1: working days of vacation a year, or or to ten
- 3:07:04Speaker 1: days of vacation a year. So I'm cutting that. I'm
- 3:07:08Speaker 1: cutting that by four fifths. I'm giving him one fifth
- 3:07:11Speaker 1: of vacation days that people are traditionally allowed.
- 3:07:14Speaker 6: He's a good man too, he deserves I'm.
- 3:07:16Speaker 1: Saying any more than four than then you got a case.
- 3:07:21Speaker 1: But but the rules were he doesn't miss a day
- 3:07:26Speaker 1: the rule. So the question is really how you know
- 3:07:30Speaker 1: magnificent or magnanimous of bosses? Are you? Guys? Really it
- 3:07:36Speaker 1: really comes down to your what kind of magnanimous?
- 3:07:40Speaker 6: What kind of culture would we be in stealing if
- 3:07:42Speaker 6: we let the small things go? Because Michigan didn't win
- 3:07:44Speaker 6: a national change.
- 3:07:46Speaker 1: You got to the little things, the little things, the details,
- 3:07:48Speaker 1: the little things. Championship teams are all about details. Magnanimo,
- 3:07:53Speaker 1: stop it now, now, Jack, that's that's not how you're
- 3:07:56Speaker 1: sucking up and you're pissing me off. Generous are forgiving?
- 3:07:59Speaker 1: It is magnanimus. That's what it means, generous or forgiving,
- 3:08:02Speaker 1: especially towards a rival or less powerful person.
- 3:08:07Speaker 4: I think that's a social media I think he has
- 3:08:09Speaker 4: just as much power.
- 3:08:09Speaker 1: Okay, all right, listen, So we'll agree on four days.
- 3:08:14Speaker 6: Sure you feel good about four days?
- 3:08:17Speaker 15: You like three simple, simple strike system, Three strikes and
- 3:08:22Speaker 15: you're out.
- 3:08:23Speaker 4: Interesting?
- 3:08:25Speaker 12: Interesting, Yeah, Internet will have I.
- 3:08:27Speaker 1: Think Jack's beginning to go through his head and thinking
- 3:08:30Speaker 1: he might have.
- 3:08:33Speaker 6: If you've not missed one day, then there should be
- 3:08:36Speaker 6: no fine at the end of the day.
- 3:08:39Speaker 12: I know that you're yeah, there should get time said audit.
- 3:08:43Speaker 1: But what do you mean a time limit on sad
- 3:08:45Speaker 1: like there's a time limit on how long they can
- 3:08:47Speaker 1: actually review your work.
- 3:08:49Speaker 6: That's what that's I think that's.
- 3:08:53Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't give him the truck and then take
- 3:08:55Speaker 1: it back because after further review, you know what I
- 3:08:57Speaker 1: mean when we do the truck, okay.
- 3:09:00Speaker 4: And to be in to let you know we do
- 3:09:02Speaker 4: have our eyes on a truck.
- 3:09:04Speaker 6: Yeah we do.
- 3:09:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, it's nice.
- 3:09:06Speaker 6: You're gonna look and that means it found, it's used.
- 3:09:12Speaker 6: But it works.
- 3:09:14Speaker 1: This is amazing. This is a story that just keeps giving.
- 3:09:17Speaker 6: Can we just real quick iron this out? Three days?
- 3:09:20Speaker 1: Yes, you've said zero.
- 3:09:22Speaker 12: It wasn't the initial thing. Two per year and it's
- 3:09:25Speaker 12: been over two and a half. I mean, I'm fine
- 3:09:27Speaker 12: with three.
- 3:09:28Speaker 6: I think we'll ask for three. Will ask for three?
- 3:09:30Speaker 6: I said four? Yeah, and the way it works, will have.
- 3:09:35Speaker 1: It right, okay, and you give us give us.
- 3:09:38Speaker 4: We'll go from you can have zero to will allow
- 3:09:40Speaker 4: three and that's a big jump.
- 3:09:42Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, and you're saying you did not miss
- 3:09:45Speaker 6: one day?
- 3:09:45Speaker 1: And how long and how long? How long do you
- 3:09:47Speaker 1: guys have to review you? How long does the audit take?
- 3:09:50Speaker 1: Are you allowed for the audio?
- 3:09:51Speaker 6: I think five to ten business days?
- 3:09:53Speaker 4: Five to ten business What I was gonna say is, uh,
- 3:09:56Speaker 4: by the time this episode comes out, I think during
- 3:09:58Speaker 4: that intro, we will understand what the answer is.
- 3:10:00Speaker 6: Okay, okay, wet for us?
- 3:10:04Speaker 1: I like it? You do you do digital? Digital footprints
- 3:10:08Speaker 1: and fingerprints are a bitch man. You better you better
- 3:10:10Speaker 1: hope play. You better be buttoned up, Jack, because I'll
- 3:10:13Speaker 1: tell you, like I know, I keep making pop culture
- 3:10:16Speaker 1: references that are too old for you, but I'll do
- 3:10:18Speaker 1: it anyway. It's anyhere. You've seen the shining. Anybody's seen
- 3:10:20Speaker 1: the shining. You've seen the shining. Okay. So Scatman Cruthers,
- 3:10:24Speaker 1: he plays the you know, the guy who runs the
- 3:10:26Speaker 1: Overlook Hotel, you know, except during the season, right, and
- 3:10:30Speaker 1: he's shining with the boy from Florida. And he realizes
- 3:10:33Speaker 1: the boy's in trouble okay, because his dad's going insane,
- 3:10:36Speaker 1: the caretaker, right, So he goes from Florida on a
- 3:10:41Speaker 1: plane all the way to Colorado, gets in a SnowCat
- 3:10:44Speaker 1: to go all the way up the mountain, gets in
- 3:10:47Speaker 1: the hotel finally there to save the boy, and as
- 3:10:49Speaker 1: soon as he gets their spoiler alert, gets an axe
- 3:10:52Speaker 1: in the chest. That would be you in this equation.
- 3:10:56Speaker 1: If we get all the way to this point, you
- 3:11:00Speaker 1: go all the way to this point just to get
- 3:11:03Speaker 1: an axe in the chest would be a horror show
- 3:11:06Speaker 1: of the first variety. And I hope and pray that
- 3:11:09Speaker 1: the audio audit turns up. What if it's three? What
- 3:11:14Speaker 1: if it's three? Three is like then, so he's the runner. Okay,
- 3:11:20Speaker 1: so three is the max. So it's not three and
- 3:11:22Speaker 1: you're out. It's really four and you're out right, Let's
- 3:11:25Speaker 1: make sure I guess we can't have a push push
- 3:11:28Speaker 1: push is good for.
- 3:11:29Speaker 4: Him the lines at three and a half, okay, and.
- 3:11:32Speaker 1: I root for the under man. I don't want you
- 3:11:34Speaker 1: to be a scot.
- 3:11:36Speaker 2: And some would see it as an axe to the chest.
- 3:11:39Speaker 2: Moment I see it is more for the love of
- 3:11:40Speaker 2: the game. You know, at the end of the day,
- 3:11:43Speaker 2: we got respect.
- 3:11:45Speaker 1: He's about there. Technically, there is no eye in busting man.
- 3:11:50Speaker 1: It's your team player. Jack, that's impressive. I'm impressed because
- 3:11:53Speaker 1: I would want that Silverado. If I don't get me,
- 3:11:56Speaker 1: I would be pissed.
- 3:11:56Speaker 2: I got a four runner out there, as if, as
- 3:11:59Speaker 2: if three hundred thousand miles on it.
- 3:12:01Speaker 1: So it's seven hundred and sixty seven of the seven
- 3:12:04Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one days is not good enough. I know,
- 3:12:08Speaker 1: I understand what the rules are.
- 3:12:09Speaker 6: Hard to because he's been doing this for a lot
- 3:12:11Speaker 6: longer than we expected, because somebody schedule and it's been hard.
- 3:12:15Speaker 6: And I thought this was gonna be like one hundred
- 3:12:16Speaker 6: day deal. I really did, because Will and I sat
- 3:12:19Speaker 6: here on the bus and we whispered back and forth.
- 3:12:20Speaker 6: When Jack said sure should.
- 3:12:23Speaker 4: Be so broad?
- 3:12:24Speaker 6: Yeah, he did say no, and I pushed for that. Okay,
- 3:12:27Speaker 6: and now to get to this point and if we yeah,
- 3:12:29Speaker 6: what do we stand on if it's for and it's like, damn, Jack,
- 3:12:32Speaker 6: we can't. I sat here and gave him a chance
- 3:12:34Speaker 6: to say if he's missed one, because I know if
- 3:12:36Speaker 6: he missed one, he knows not head of his right now,
- 3:12:39Speaker 6: he's aware.
- 3:12:40Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I smell panic, Jack.
- 3:12:42Speaker 6: Because it's because he says so strongly and then it's like, okay,
- 3:12:45Speaker 6: well if.
- 3:12:45Speaker 4: You are missed anything.
- 3:12:48Speaker 1: He was resolute, and then I see a little moonwalking,
- 3:12:50Speaker 1: and I'm beginning to get.
- 3:12:51Speaker 15: A little no.
- 3:12:51Speaker 12: No, I mean there is a day. I live with
- 3:12:53Speaker 12: you every day, rich every day.
- 3:12:55Speaker 7: I know that.
- 3:12:56Speaker 12: So this is this is a conversation I've been preparing
- 3:12:58Speaker 12: for for seven hundred and.
- 3:13:01Speaker 2: So if I am you know, definitive definitive about my answer,
- 3:13:05Speaker 2: it's because I've I've played this conversation.
- 3:13:08Speaker 1: Out for seven You know more about me than most
- 3:13:10Speaker 1: people hundred.
- 3:13:11Speaker 6: I know, Jack, if you missed the day, I'll give
- 3:13:14Speaker 6: you some grace, but you got to say something right now.
- 3:13:17Speaker 9: I just want this.
- 3:13:18Speaker 1: We decided.
- 3:13:19Speaker 2: I don't think strike striving to the Internet so that
- 3:13:23Speaker 2: you don't catch heat, and if sad thing, I don't want.
- 3:13:29Speaker 6: This, if the Internet none of the realities. I do
- 3:13:31Speaker 6: want this to happen. It was me who pushed Will
- 3:13:33Speaker 6: into saying this deal. If the Internet gets mad at me,
- 3:13:37Speaker 6: if the Internet gets mad at me for not giving
- 3:13:39Speaker 6: you a Chevy too, because you missed this amount of days,
- 3:13:41Speaker 6: the Internet has to be mad at themselves in the
- 3:13:43Speaker 6: wrong direction.
- 3:13:43Speaker 12: And I agree, Yeah, I won't be on the side
- 3:13:45Speaker 12: of that fight.
- 3:13:46Speaker 6: I will take that heat because it's I just I'll
- 3:13:49Speaker 6: feel really bad about man. Seven hundred and seventy one
- 3:13:51Speaker 6: days and he missed let's say five.
- 3:13:52Speaker 1: This is it. It's like, yeah, we've reached the end
- 3:13:54Speaker 1: of the road.
- 3:13:55Speaker 12: So it's almost sad because I know are mis posting.
- 3:13:59Speaker 1: Are you gonna miss post it today? You can still
- 3:14:01Speaker 1: do it if you want to continue, you should post.
- 3:14:04Speaker 6: Pictures, should post one of Jack until he comes on.
- 3:14:09Speaker 4: One to day. You post a lot.
- 3:14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, just send me selfies as long as they're appropriate.
- 3:14:15Speaker 1: I'll post him.
- 3:14:16Speaker 7: Man.
- 3:14:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess I will go through the autumn process.
- 3:14:19Speaker 1: I'm glad we have established the guardrails here and we're
- 3:14:23Speaker 1: ready to roll. Oh my word, Okay, brother, I could
- 3:14:28Speaker 1: see it. He's shown me what you would get and
- 3:14:31Speaker 1: I just saw your face. Yeah nice, Yeah, don't show don't.
- 3:14:37Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:14:38Speaker 1: I'm just hoping for your sake that it comes up
- 3:14:41Speaker 1: at three and three and our and I hope that
- 3:14:44Speaker 1: you have enough money for your own pink job. Rich
- 3:14:49Speaker 1: too much, not really.
- 3:14:53Speaker 4: Beautiful?
- 3:14:55Speaker 1: Okay, sounds good, that's my own biases at work. I'm sorry,
- 3:14:59Speaker 1: be quiet, twist the question.
- 3:15:01Speaker 6: Let's get rich out of here huh. Okay, Twist Western
- 3:15:03Speaker 6: is brought to you obviously by Twisted t five percent alcohol.
- 3:15:06Speaker 6: It's great for tailgates well, watching the game at the
- 3:15:09Speaker 6: house at the bar, doing to tailgate with the boys
- 3:15:11Speaker 6: is zero carbonation, zero carbonation. It is really the best drink,
- 3:15:16Speaker 6: especially during the fall. Twist quise. We have two of
- 3:15:18Speaker 6: them up here.
- 3:15:19Speaker 1: Okay, which one we want to do?
- 3:15:21Speaker 6: You pick one?
- 3:15:22Speaker 4: Oh? Would you tweet a picture of seven seventy two
- 3:15:26Speaker 4: straight days if it guaranteed they'd be a guest on
- 3:15:29Speaker 4: your show?
- 3:15:29Speaker 1: Okay? Taylor Swift? Because I'm part of the conspiracy and
- 3:15:35Speaker 1: you understand, and the fact that I would money, I
- 3:15:38Speaker 1: would keep tweeting out photographs of her, would cover the
- 3:15:41Speaker 1: tracks that I could get her on the show anytime,
- 3:15:44Speaker 1: because I have created a controversy that has not only
- 3:15:48Speaker 1: not only if found called in a question her popularity,
- 3:15:52Speaker 1: but even more so the chief's ability to actually win
- 3:15:55Speaker 1: football games. How does that sound? You know what I mean?
- 3:15:59Speaker 1: So I would do Taylor's Whift's been the.
- 3:16:02Speaker 4: Most starstruck that you've had on your show for me?
- 3:16:06Speaker 1: Starstruck? Huh? I literally, man, The one for for real
- 3:16:15Speaker 1: for me most recently is Seinfeld and again I know
- 3:16:20Speaker 1: that where I know you're like, who's that? But but
- 3:16:24Speaker 1: he he came on, He came on, and it was
- 3:16:27Speaker 1: you know, I've been wanting to have him for for
- 3:16:29Speaker 1: some time, and he was in person in studio and
- 3:16:33Speaker 1: we recorded it after a show, so we had a
- 3:16:38Speaker 1: bunch of time with him. Had no no idea that
- 3:16:42Speaker 1: he was going to start by being somewhat critical of
- 3:16:47Speaker 1: the set that I have there and how low he
- 3:16:51Speaker 1: is to the ground and how high I'm sitting in
- 3:16:53Speaker 1: a chair, and how weird it is and how spatially
- 3:16:59Speaker 1: it's something that I should rectify. And he got up
- 3:17:02Speaker 1: out of the chair and stood over me just to say,
- 3:17:06Speaker 1: how does this make you feel? And and I just
- 3:17:10Speaker 1: remember sitting in my chair and looking up and just
- 3:17:13Speaker 1: seeing Jerry Seinfeld looking down at me, and it was
- 3:17:15Speaker 1: just like, Wow, what am I going to do with
- 3:17:18Speaker 1: this moment? You know what I mean? Like it's kind
- 3:17:20Speaker 1: of out of body that A he was there and
- 3:17:23Speaker 1: B He's staring down at me. And then we just
- 3:17:26Speaker 1: had a great conversation. It was awesome from there on out,
- 3:17:29Speaker 1: for sure, so beautiful. That's my answer to that question.
- 3:17:32Speaker 1: But Taylor Swift for sure how popular.
- 3:17:35Speaker 4: I'd be, Man, I don't know.
- 3:17:38Speaker 1: What it is.
- 3:17:41Speaker 4: I Adam Sandler, you can get him. No, I've never
- 3:17:47Speaker 4: like there's some people you feel like you're in one
- 3:17:49Speaker 4: connected way. He hasn't been somebody yet. Sam Arial, we
- 3:17:53Speaker 4: had him on his episode, is either already out or
- 3:17:56Speaker 4: coming out. He was talking about him hanging out, Aham
- 3:18:01Speaker 4: saidlor and he it feels like he's everything I've.
- 3:18:02Speaker 1: Thought he is. He's the best. I met him at
- 3:18:05Speaker 1: the World Series in the late nineties when I was
- 3:18:08Speaker 1: covering the Yankees and Braves I think it was or
- 3:18:13Speaker 1: Yankees and Padres for ESPN Radio, and had walked around
- 3:18:19Speaker 1: with him the stadium stopped for everybody who stopped. Everybody
- 3:18:25Speaker 1: stopped him. And this was a time before there were
- 3:18:27Speaker 1: cameras on cell phones, so people were like popping out
- 3:18:29Speaker 1: like real cameras and shit, and and he stopped for
- 3:18:34Speaker 1: every single one of them. Even got on the phone
- 3:18:36Speaker 1: to leave a message for somebody and recorded an outgoing
- 3:18:41Speaker 1: message for somebody, said yes to everybody could have been.
- 3:18:44Speaker 4: Nicer when they were ask him, I think middle school,
- 3:18:47Speaker 4: high school, Like, who would somebody that are alive you'd
- 3:18:49Speaker 4: like to have lunch with a lot of the times.
- 3:18:51Speaker 4: My answered to be Adam Sandler.
- 3:18:52Speaker 6: I just think he's a good dude, Like he's also
- 3:18:55Speaker 6: a great twisted question. Yes, yeah, he seems like the
- 3:18:58Speaker 6: man I would be Vince von got it. We got
- 3:19:01Speaker 6: a chance to meet him at Notre Dame brsus Hoighse
- 3:19:02Speaker 6: State last year and it was everything is advertised, Yeah,
- 3:19:05Speaker 6: that one's great. Talked about doing a flea flicker on
- 3:19:08Speaker 6: the ten yard line and we were just thought, well, then, god,
- 3:19:10Speaker 6: you're not the oc Yeah, but he was awesome.
- 3:19:13Speaker 4: Agree that they should have took the three yeah, first
- 3:19:15Speaker 4: or second drive.
- 3:19:16Speaker 6: And he does this way of making you feel like
- 3:19:19Speaker 6: just like you're a part of his little crew. Because
- 3:19:21Speaker 6: we ended up meeting him and then we're on the sideline,
- 3:19:23Speaker 6: we're like three rows back. He's like towards the front,
- 3:19:26Speaker 6: and during the first quarter he looked back at both
- 3:19:28Speaker 6: of us, Hey come up here, and we just started
- 3:19:30Speaker 6: talking balls.
- 3:19:31Speaker 1: Probably taller than you think too, right, Yeah, I.
- 3:19:32Speaker 6: Mean probably was tall because wedding crashers. He's like, uh,
- 3:19:36Speaker 6: I feel so small in your arms. I'll tall you
- 3:19:38Speaker 6: six five, but I feel like I'm five feet And
- 3:19:40Speaker 6: that's like, oh, I guess.
- 3:19:41Speaker 1: He is a tall boy. Yeah, his character and Swingers
- 3:19:43Speaker 1: is one of the best ever.
- 3:19:45Speaker 6: I've only seen the movie once.
- 3:19:46Speaker 1: Are you a little too?
- 3:19:47Speaker 6: It's a little too old for me. Come, I've only
- 3:19:49Speaker 6: seen it once, I know, and I want to have
- 3:19:51Speaker 6: that with you so bad.

- 3:19:55Speaker 6: I've heard you got a baby, your money, baby, the
- 3:19:57Speaker 6: whole thing. It's just great. It's just like the best,
- 3:20:00Speaker 6: like pure, like raw Vince Vaughn.
- 3:20:02Speaker 1: And then you know Jon Favreau and the scene where
- 3:20:05Speaker 1: he he's not talked about enough. Well you know he's
- 3:20:07Speaker 1: now as huge director as there is anywhere, and so
- 3:20:13Speaker 1: but Vince Vaughan and John Favreau's character in that movie
- 3:20:17Speaker 1: where he leaves a message for a girl he had
- 3:20:19Speaker 1: just met in the bar, is like you watch it
- 3:20:23Speaker 1: like a horror movie where where your hands you're like
- 3:20:26Speaker 1: you watch it through your fingers. It is truly we've
- 3:20:29Speaker 1: all been there as guys, and it's I'm assuming, but yeah,
- 3:20:34Speaker 1: that's it. It's a you guys have a lot of
- 3:20:36Speaker 1: holes in your film.

- 3:21:05Speaker 1: Yeah, he came on my show once and our crew
- 3:21:12Speaker 1: came back. You know, I like going into the back
- 3:21:15Speaker 1: into the green room whenever a guest comes by to
- 3:21:17Speaker 1: say hello. Always like doing that because you know, my
- 3:21:20Speaker 1: show's live, so it keeps going and going and going,
- 3:21:22Speaker 1: So I always like going back there to say hello.
- 3:21:25Speaker 1: A couple of times when I've been on talk shows,
- 3:21:27Speaker 1: I've always appreciated when the host comes back and say
- 3:21:30Speaker 1: and says hello. It just always makes me feel at home.
- 3:21:33Speaker 1: And so I like doing that whenever whenever I can. So,
- 3:21:37Speaker 1: you know, my team knows that Will Ferrell came by
- 3:21:42Speaker 1: and they stopped me from going back. Said, Will doesn't
- 3:21:44Speaker 1: want you to go back there. I'm like why. Like
- 3:21:47Speaker 1: he showed up in costume, and he showed up in
- 3:21:51Speaker 1: costume because it was the day before Halloween. He dressed
- 3:21:56Speaker 1: as his Halloween costume for that year, which was Jesus Christ,
- 3:22:01Speaker 1: where he dressed his full costume with a beard and
- 3:22:04Speaker 1: a Dodger hat on and UH sandals with the UH
- 3:22:11Speaker 1: with his initials on a W and F because his
- 3:22:15Speaker 1: his kids shows the costume and it's right here. He
- 3:22:18Speaker 1: shows out that the costume says one size fits most
- 3:22:23Speaker 1: on it and that was one of the funniest moments
- 3:22:25Speaker 1: because he couldn't breathe at one point through the through
- 3:22:29Speaker 1: the beard. He sort of he sort of got there
- 3:22:32Speaker 1: at his one size mis fits most so, but I
- 3:22:35Speaker 1: remember all this stuff and the fact that he shows
- 3:22:38Speaker 1: up in costume is just like it's an honor honored
- 3:22:44Speaker 1: and like so it's one of those things where you
- 3:22:45Speaker 1: prepare like I'm gonna ask him this, I'm gonna ask
- 3:22:47Speaker 1: him that, and he comes out dressed like that and
- 3:22:49Speaker 1: you just take it, throw it out the window, kind
- 3:22:51Speaker 1: of like our potential questions.
