• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Watson with the shotgun, sends Judkins in motion out to
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the right. High snap, pulled down.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: By Watson, throws right side, caught in the end zone,
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: touchdown Browns. Harold Fannin makes the catch, and the Browns
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: lead is 20-7. While Deshaun Watson pulled down a snap
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: that was above his helmet and quickly got it to
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Harold Fannin, the third touchdown catch of the year for Fannin.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: And the Browns are.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Up 20-7 with 1.22 to go in the first half.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Here's the snap. Ball down. The kick is on the way.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: End over end.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: It is good.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Andre Schmidt drills it down the middle. And with 10
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: seconds to go, the Browns lead 27-24.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Fun times in Cleveland again Still Cleveland Come on down
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: to Cleveland Town everyone Under construction since 1868 See our
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: river that catches on fire It's so polluted that all
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: our fish have AIDS We see the sun almost three
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: times a year This guy has at least two DUIs.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: The flats look like a Scooby Doo ghost town Don't
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: slow down in East Cleveland or you'll die.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Our economy's based on LeBron James.
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: Buy a house for the price of a VCR. Our
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: main export is crippling depression.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We're so * * * * that we.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Think this is art. It could be worse, though at
• 1:41
  Speaker 6: least we're not Detroit. We're not Detroit.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Uh, Moj, welcome to this Bud Light Football Friday.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: The Browns are not good. I'm not falling for this.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing it. They're better than I thought they
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: would be, okay? They are better than I thought they'd be.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: They're not good. I cannot fall for this. I can't
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: rearrange my brain from everything that I thought in the
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: offseason to what I witnessed in week one when they
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: got absolutely torched by Jacksonville. And then they get these wins.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Think about this. And I'm not hating, okay? I'm just,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to look at this logically. They beat a
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Bucs team that is obviously in some troubled waters this year.
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: Like a bridge over.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: They beat a Panthers team. That is okay. Now they
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: beat a Steelers team that I've said over and over
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: What? They just exist. They're a pointless football team. Exactly right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: They're not even a real team.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Here's my problem from last night, though. I think that's
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: the best Deshaun Watson has looked since 2021 when he
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: was in Houston. He looked like an actual, decent, good
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: quarterback last night. And now, I don't know what to do.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: That's my issue.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: I saw him running off at halftime.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And they had a 21-10 lead.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Talking about the Browns.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: And as he's going toward the tunnel and through the tunnel,
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: people were cheering for him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Who'd have thunk it, huh?
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: I did not know what to do with that particular information.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: I'm like, this is not computing the way that I
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: thought it was supposed to. This whole damn... Todd Monken.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Also, the face of a man I do not trust.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's not supposed to be that guy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: The whole.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, we're– the Browns are going to blank and Browns, Browns, blah, blah, blah. Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, okay, that's– this whole start to the season,
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: this whole– we're into week four now.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: This is week four.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I just sort of don't know what the hell's going on.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Moj, I'm glad you mentioned that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: Because, honestly, let me be perfectly honest with you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: This is bro to bro.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: This is you and me being friends and holding hands
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: and– Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of scared.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: I'm honestly kind of scared about nothing is making sense.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: And I wonder if somehow one night, Nellie, crank it up.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I went to sleep.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: And in my slumber, I was teleported to a different
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: alternate universe of Mojo Lombardi and Kane and all of
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: our listeners. And I woke up and the Browns were good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: And Deshaun Watson played well. And Todd Monken's face was
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: all over television.
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: That's all a charade.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: The Broncos continue to win games they should not be winning.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: They continue to perform in ways they shouldn't. The data
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: and the analytics would say they shouldn't be performing that way.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what to do.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: I'm kind of scared that I'm now stuck in this
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: alternate universe, and you exist, and your face still looks
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: the same, and you're still.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I am mouthier in this universe, though.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You know what it was, Nelson? Steven.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: It was two months and about 11 days ago where
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: he started to get mouthy. That's got to be the
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: night that I woke up in this alternate universe.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: I think it was when I left. When I took
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: like two and a half weeks off. When the cat
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: is away, the mice come out to play. Maybe that
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: was the catalyst.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: You're going to France. That sort of catapulted us into
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: an alternate universe.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Hang on a second, though. It's very funny that you
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: mentioned that because I was thinking the same thing. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: here's what's funny. No matter what universe you think you're
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: living in, whether you live in the universe where the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Browns suck and the Chargers are good or the Browns
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: are good and the Chargers suck. Do you know what's
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: the same in both of those universes? The Broncos are
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: pretty good. The Broncos are the most predictable team in
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the league. And this is what I thought about.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: If you go back to September 29th of last year,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: a full calendar year and some change. The Broncos, with
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: the exception of two weeks, which was the Jags game
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: last year and the Chiefs game to start this year,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: have been the exact same thing every time. In a
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: sport that thrives on parity, on unpredictability, on you don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: know what the hell's going to happen over the weekend. Hey,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: this team's a seven-point favorite. Well, they just lost by 14.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Happens all the time in the NFL. You know what
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: never happens? The Broncos not playing the exact same game
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: they played for a full year. That never... And that's
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: why I asked the question earlier in the appetizer. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: was sitting there thinking about this, Nate. I'm just going
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: to myself like, man, the Browns are 3-1.
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: 3-1.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: The Chargers, 0-3. The Bucs, winless to start this year.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: All these different teams that we thought going into the
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: season were going to stink or be great, and it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: been the complete opposite. The Patriots look miserable on offense
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: after having a quarterback who finished like a vote away
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: from the MVP last year. And you know what I
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: know is going to happen this weekend? The Broncos will
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: suck for a half and probably win the game. Like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I just, I know it. I know what's going to happen. It's...
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I've seen the movie script, okay? And maybe in the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: time since I read the movie script and they went
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: to actually put it on film, maybe they've tweaked a
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: couple of things about the movie. Maybe the scene that
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I thought was going to happen in the second quarter
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: varies a little bit. They said, you know what? We're
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: going to throw this dialogue in there.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: Actually.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: A chase scene.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: There's going to be a chase scene here. There's a
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: chase scene when there shouldn't be.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: But I know how it ends.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: It ends with that thing being close... And the Broncos
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: eking out a victory. And I don't think this is
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: going to be any different this week. I think the Broncos,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: if everything were equal, most I don't know if you
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: ever played Madden before. If you play Madden, you can
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: set it on no injuries. Nobody leaves a game. If
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: that was the thing that we were living in, if
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: that was part of this universe you describe, I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the 49ers win this game at home. But it's not.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And they're hurt.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: And major players are hurt, and the Broncos are good,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and the Broncos are healthy, and I think the Broncos
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: win this week.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: 7.09 in the morning, you're already... Oh, I don't wait
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: for these prediction things. In honor of our missing brethren. Madden,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I don't do cartoons.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That's in honor of our brethren. You can write this down. Hell,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: record this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Vic's not dead.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: No, he's not. He'll be back.
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: The late, great Vic Lombardi.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Do you know why I don't play video games? Well,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you know why I don't play video games.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Because you're terrible and you get your butt kicked.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, because I don't want a 12-year-old out of Wichita, A,
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: making fun of me, and then B, calling my mother
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: names and whatnot.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, explaining certain activities he partook in with your mom, yes.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: Some snot-nosed, foul-mouthed, jack-hole kid with rickets sitting in Wichita
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: busting my ass.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: Throwing so many slurs at you that it'll cost him
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: a Portland Trailblazers job one day.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Exactly right.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: And when you try and drop the line that you
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: drop on us all the time, I don't want you
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: to say it because I'm going to say something mean afterwards.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: When he talks about things that He has done with
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: your mom in the past.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: And you use the line that you always use on us.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Don't say it. He would come back with something like, good.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And that's even worse because then there's no comeback for you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: So your big point here is that I don't necessarily
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: disagree with you. The funny part is because now I
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: don't know what I don't know. I'm living this alternate universe.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I'm a little bit afraid.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe I should just embrace the chaos. You see
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: Yes. Rather than fight the chaos in my life, perhaps
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: the best medicine is to just embrace the chaos and say,
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: you know what? Life is interesting. And the Broncos certainly
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: are chaos to me.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: They really are.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: The Broncos are a chaotic bunch when it comes to
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: the way they play the game and how they win.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I also, I was reading Legge. By the way, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: wish Jeff was on today, too. Do we have to
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: give him like an extra donut to come on on
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: a Friday?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Is that what we pay him in? Krispy Kreme?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I remember the line that Jeff said, Moe, you and I.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Eat the same way. We order off the menu on
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: the wall. Yeah, that's kind of the way we operate.
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: But I was reading his comments about Vance Joseph, talking
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: about Kyle Shanahan. And that is, quote, Kyle is the
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: best halftime adjustment coach I've ever coached against. In the
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: first half, it can be this. And in the second half,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: it can be totally different. He adjusts quickly.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: Well, if that is the case, and I don't disagree
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: because somehow the 49ers under Kyle Shanahan can have the
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: walking dead in uniform and they find ways to win games.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: I don't disagree with what Vance Joseph said, but This
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: is going to be really, really interesting because I believe
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: the Denver Broncos are one of the best halftime adjustment
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: second half teams I've ever seen. This version of the Broncos.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I have a question on that that we'll get to
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: in just a couple of minutes. What's the question? Well,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: just have some patience, and I'll tell you. Is that
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: a question? It's a Bud Light Football Friday. I have
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: a more pressing question right now because we have Fox
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: 31 on one of these TVs in here, and they
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: just ran a story on something that I saw everybody
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: talking about over the last couple of days. And I
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: have no idea what this is. And I would love
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: to say it's because I'm not a nerd. I think
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: it's just because I'm old. I'm old now. An old
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: man with two children.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: What an ass. What a jerk thing to say. It's true.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I'm there.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I got you by 20 years and you're, you know what?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: That's well, you're ancient.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: I'm old.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: That's harmful.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Um, What is the obsession with Mike Tomlin's Minecraft thing?
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: What is Minecraft? Why is this a huge story? Why
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: is everybody talking about it? I don't know what the
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Minecraft thing is. I don't know why this is a
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: big deal. Somebody needs to help me.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: It's a big deal because you have the coach of
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: an NFL team building an entire separate world in a
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: video game while he's going 8-8 and losing playoff games. Like,
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: he's pouring hours and hours and hours and hours and
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: hours into building this fake city instead of, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: focusing on coaching his NFL team.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: That's the story here.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Wait, so it's a negative thing?
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: I think it's both. I mean, first of all, it's
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: hilarious that an NFL coach with a Super Bowl ring
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: is obsessed with Minecraft. But on the other hand, some
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: people did dig up the stats of, like, Tomlin pre-
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: and post- and there is a slight drop-off in his
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: record and his performance.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: It's both. There's also a big drop-off in Mike Tomlin
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: pre- and post-Ben Roethlisberger.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, so time out for a second. Exactly right. Hang
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: on a second. By the way, I think my nephew
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: still plays Minecraft.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, though. What's the game?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's a game where you build....
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Is it like Sims? Are there people in the city?
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: It's a three-dimensional sandbox game is what it is. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: you build things and you build these different worlds and
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: so on and so forth. Cubes and blocks and you
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: arrange them in grids and all this kind of thing. Anyway,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: it's sort of like a really, I think, deep mind exercise.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Is that right, Nelly?
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you said it best. It's basically an open world sandbox,
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: but it's all.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: bricks.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: It's cubes. It's like squared off looking. It doesn't look
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: like real life.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: So this isn't... There's no people in this.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: No, there's you and there are other people in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: game and there's actually a mode you can play where
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: there are creatures that try to kill you so you
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: have to build defenses and stuff or you can play
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: a chill mode where no one comes after you and
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: you just build.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: I know the very basics of it. I don't know
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: all these details like our flute playing brother over here
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: knows all about.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: But I'm like, what does that mean? I've never had
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: my eyes roll back faster.
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: I know, but it's like an outlet for people in
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: terms of using their brain in different ways.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Ben Roethlisberger retired. Big Ben called
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: it a career.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: So when you have a gigantic, badass quarterback for a
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: long time, and you win a Super Bowl.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: And then he says, you know what? I am done
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: playing football.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: You tend to take a bit of a dip as
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: a team, as an organization.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: You see what I mean? Look, look.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Hang on, hang on.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Gigantic badass is there. That's one thing.
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Gigantic badass is no longer there.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Then that's a different world.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: How about this? If Mike Tomlin started coaching the Broncos
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: in 2012, and they said he started playing Minecraft in 2016.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Would you blame the Broncos?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: That's because Peyton Manning retired. Jesus God.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: You know the Hall of Fame quarterback.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: That you had?
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Anyway, we'll get back to this, not this story, but
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: to football in just a second.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a football Friday. We're going to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: lay it down today, by the way.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: We are.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I have a question regarding something you just brought up.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Adjustments.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: We'll get to it next.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: It's a Bud Light Football Friday.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Bud Light, the official beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Remember to enjoy responsibly.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: By the way, by the way.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Text coming through.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Hang on, Mosher.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, go ahead.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Brett and Mosher, you guys are just jealous that you've
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: never built something as badass as Mike Tomlin's Minecraft City.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I can promise you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: And the last thing is, I think I just made
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: it look too easy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: This is a promise with a guarantee and throw a
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: 10-year warranty on this thing, okay? There is not an
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: ounce of jealousy that's in that gnaw. And I'm not saying, like,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: if that's your thing, God bless you. I'm not anti-video game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I haven't played in a long time. But I played
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Call of Duty plenty.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I love that game.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: That is not something that I'd be into. I wasn't
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: into Legos when I was a kid. I'm not a builder,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: you'd say.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: You know what I'd do instead? You know what my
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: Minecraft is? Going to the driving range. And sculling balls.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: That, totally guilty of.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Sculling balls into the picker. Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I waste my time on things that serve no purpose.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Golf is like the prime example of it now.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Listen, I'm not going, yeah, we're not jealous. What was the,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: hang on a second.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The 2-8-1-0.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Don't confuse the way that I was talking about the
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Minecraft Mike Tomlin thing with as like, I'm not angry
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: about it. It was confusion. I didn't know what it
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: was and I didn't know why it was a big deal.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Like he was doing a live stream and everybody goes,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: you got to tune in for this Mike Tomlin live stream.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I was like, what's on it? Well, it's his Minecraft city.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, why do I care?
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Everybody's got their thing. So Vic can understand why people
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: want to go tailgate at Broncos games, right? Like, what
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: are you doing with bringing out your barbecue and setting
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: up a table and you're there for five hours and
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: so on. Everybody's got their thing. You're a Minecraft person. You're,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: you know, for these people who tailgate with their giant motorhomes, right?
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: And it's all decked out and they got TVs and
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: awnings and all that kind of thing.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: That's fun.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Right. I'm just saying, but they live for that for
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: the football season. That's their thing. I go to the
• 18:45
  Speaker 7: driving range and try to skull balls into the ball picker.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Everybody's got their own thing. So I'm not, if you're
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: a Minecraft person. This isn't a judgment.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: It's not a judgment. Do your thing.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: And Mike Tomlin has released his city. And from what
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: I understand in terms of the Minecraft world, it's a
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: pretty impressive thing.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: That's all I want to say. Okay, Football Friday.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: You mentioned something about Vance Joseph talking Kyle Shanahan as
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: a head coach and his greatest asset is adjustments, right?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I heard Ross Tucker talking about this the other day.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: On the subject of the Broncos offense, Slow start, great finish.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Slow start, great finish. Has our approach to this and
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: the way that we evaluate either Sean Payton when he
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: was in charge or now Davis Webb who's in charge
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: of the offense, at least play calling. Have we been
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: approaching this incorrectly? Has me going on the air on
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: a Monday after a Broncos win in which it's zero
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: points in the first half, 30 points in the fourth quarter,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: has my tone in evaluation of that been wrong for
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: a year? And I'm willing to ask this question out loud.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Here's what I mean. I've been frustrated at slow starts
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: because I've said this can't happen. This will cost you,
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: and it hasn't. But traditionally, in your football mind, all
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: the football you've watched, if a team can't get things
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: going early, then it's a problem. But here's my question,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: just to finish. Sorry, I know it's long. Have I
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: been looking at that incorrectly? Should my mindset have been?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Look at the amazing adjustments they make in-game. Look at
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: how they're able to evaluate what's not going right early,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: change things to a top-tier level when the game matters most.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Is that the way I should be approaching this? Do
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: we not give Davis Webb and Sean Payton enough credit
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: for making adjustments in-game to pick apart a defense?
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Perhaps you're right. Perhaps.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: I do think they do make adjustments, and I do
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: think that they figure things out. I think they're a
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: terrific halftime team. But it's more than that, dude. It's
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: the players. It's the players and the way they play.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: Play calling differential.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Excuse me.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: That's a long clearing of the throat.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: There's... You gave me a.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: I cannot wait for Winter to be here because I'm
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: tired of these flowers that are still blooming and all.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: This kind of thing. It's the players.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: The play calling is not the difference between Bo Nix
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: being a space alien in the second half as compared
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: to the first half.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Cortland Sutton. The running.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: I mean, everything looks different. When the Broncos are rolling
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: like that, it's not.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Just the play calling.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: It's not like Davis Webb flicks a switch and says,
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: all right, now we got this play.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, you know what?
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Going full spread offense on third and one, that changes.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: You know, these things change. Maybe you take some more
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: gambles in the first half and whatnot, but the players
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: are different when the game is on the line and
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: they got to.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Chase the rabbit. Brett, we used to have a dog
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: track here. Excuse me. Dang it. In fact, we had two.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: We had one in Commerce City and one up north
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: on the way to Fort Collins.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I went with my dad once to a dog track.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I loved it. Now, I was a kid.
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Here comes Rusty.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: The rabbit's called Rusty. And the rabbit comes out of
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: the house, and the dogs are released, and they chase
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: the frigging rabbit. The Broncos operate like a greyhound when
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: they're chasing the rabbit.
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: True. True.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Now, if, God, I've never even seen the dogs released
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: without chasing a rabbit, but if they don't have a
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: rabbit to chase, are they just running around in circles
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: on the track, you know, licking each other and lollygagging?
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: I don't know what the dogs do when there's no rabbit, okay?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Play with a toy, right? Lay down in the backyard.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they need to be incentivized.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: They roll on their back and they lick themselves.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: That's what the Broncos do in the first half. They
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: lay on their backs, play with their toys, and lick themselves.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: In the second half, they're chasing the frigging rabbit and
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: they go. And that is not play calling, Brett. That
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: is a mindset. That is on the players.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: So two different cuts in regards to this. First is
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Chris Long on his Greenlight podcast says, It's a really
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: good podcast, by the way. I don't know if you've
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: watched Chris Long before. I like it. He gives you
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: good insight. He also, and I don't mean this disrespectfully,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: he's got a mouth that I think could swallow a
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: dinner plate hole. It's a gigantic mouth.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: Who?
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Chris Long.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: You're going to see this mouth.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: It's wide. It's impressive. I get lost in it. Well,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Julia Roberts, she could. I think gives Julia Roberts a
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: run for her money. Don't make, nope, I don't need any, nope,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: nothing like that. I don't need that in my ear.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Here's what Chris Long said on the Broncos, though.
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: Sean Payton is not calling the plays. That probably frees
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: him up from a vantage point standpoint in the first
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: half to where he can kind of get some distance between,
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: you know, what am I calling 30 seconds from now
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: and staying ahead of, you know, the defensive coordinator, in
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: this case, Chris Shula, where he can kind of hover
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: above it. and see the game from a different vantage point.
• 24:53
  Speaker 10: And I kind of wonder if them going into the half,
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: because they've done it two weeks in a row, not
• 24:57
  Speaker 10: that the uneven play is new, but I kind of
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: wonder even with a new play caller who's feeling his
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: way out, like does Sean Payton having an advisor who's
• 25:07
  Speaker 10: probably a gold jacket guy, who's your head coach, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: he's not worrying about clock management and like situational football,
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: he can kind of take the 10,000 foot view, walk
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: into the half and say, hey, I saw this. where
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: before he's the one making adjustments on his own game plan.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: I think it's a good point. You go out there
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: and look for a guy that needs to be, there
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: is no time to really evaluate. All you're doing is
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: reacting to what just happened as a play caller. It's, Hey,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I have this plan for what I want this drive
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: to look like. Oh, we're sacked on first down.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I need to adjust to this. You, you, you don't
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: have time to think about why did that not work?
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: And how do we fix that later? You don't have
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: that until like halftime. And that's why we always talk
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: about halftime adjustments. Well, now he's got the ability to
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: watch sort of everything on the fly and say, well,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I've been noticing the last three plays this guy has
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: been doing this. I think it does make it easier
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: for him. Another clip here from Eli that I want
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: to get to from Leighton Games, but I do want
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: to address the text that comes up here. Derek says,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: law of averages in the NFL will eventually catch up
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: to you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought this up.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Last year was in the AFC championship game, although it
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: was with Stidham. It caught up to you. In the NFL,
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: it will catch up to you at the most inopportune time.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Derek, Derek, Derek, Derek.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Hang on, though. Hang on, Moj. I'm just going to
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: say you're not allowed to use the AFC championship game
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: as an example because Bo Nix was not the quarterback.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: And Bo Nix is the one leading these comebacks, not
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Jared Stidham. It is Bo Nix doing that late in
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: games making plays, number one. Number two, law of averages.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I totally hear you. I've been the one preaching that
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: for a year. To... Pitchforks and torches, I've been preaching that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: But if I flip a coin and 30 straight times
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: it lands on heads, I could say, law of averages,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: tails is going to happen. Or, or, there's something wrong
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: with the bleeping coin, okay?
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Like, it's either.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: That it's just the most oddest stretch of law of
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: averages that you've ever had, or the coin has weighted
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: in some way in which it's forcing it to land
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: on heads over and over again.
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: Derek, I'm so glad you brought up Derek. Derek in
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: Castle Rock, he knows who he is. Derek, you know
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: who you are.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Derek, I have fought this in my own brain for
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: not quite two years.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: It must have been week six or week seven two
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: years ago in Bo Nix's rookie season. And I say
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: it all the time, Derek, Chad Brown says exactly what
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: you're saying.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And I used to say it a lot.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: Sean Payton, this is, Brett, if it was just me going,
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: this can't continue, that would be one thing.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But when the.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Players, the coach, Brilliant football minds like Chad Brown and
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: Jeff Legwald and Adam Schefter, when they're saying it as
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: well and they're backing up, thank God they exist because
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: I would be losing my own brain. Brett, I guarantee you,
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: I'd be questioning my own sanity. If Sean Payton didn't
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: come out and say... We can't keep doing this because
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: we are going to die on the vine. But Derek,
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: screw you. Sean Payton, screw you. Players, Quinn Miners, screw you.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Chad Brown, screw off.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Why Chad?
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I'm getting there. Leggy, get bent. Shefty, bye-bye. You know why?
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Because it doesn't make any sense, Derek. I don't disagree
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: with you. Well, the old me didn't disagree with you.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: The law of averages in the NFL will eventually catch
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: up to you. When I come on this program, Derek,
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: every single day and say, the data, the historical empirical
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: data says the Broncos can't keep doing this.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not wrong.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: But Derek, you have to get to the place where
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: you accept that they can. And begrudgingly, I have gotten
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: there because I woke up one day in an alternate
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: universe and I don't know what the hell is going on.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Here's why I think that this is wrong. Sorry, wrong's
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: the wrong word. If you think the law of averages
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: will catch up to the Broncos, there's a very clear
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: answer to this. If the Broncos are down 17 and
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a half, is the game over this week?
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Well, then law of averages is not here yet.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: In fact, give me a point.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: In fact, give me a halftime deficit, and I'll tell
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: you whether or not it's not overcomable.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. This is the exercise that I did in
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: the appetizer. I asked people, put out a straw poll.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I said, what number would the Broncos have to be
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: down for you to say the game is over? You
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: know what the answers I got? Most of them, 24.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Think about that for a second. They would have to
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: be down 24 points for people to be like, all right,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I think this game's officially done.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I need AI to help me out here. Go ahead,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: keep going.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Well, it's really all I got. If I ask any
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: other team in the league, if you're down 17, is
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: the game over? Almost all of them will be like, yeah, probably. Probably.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: And with the Broncos, you're like, nope, I think you
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: got them right where you want them. And that's the issue.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: And so look, I don't know what the number is.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I would say it's probably in the 20s, but it
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: would take a large number for me to say they
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: got no shot to come back and win.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: What's so funny about that, this is the AI overlords
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: spitting this out, and I have no reason to disbelieve the.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Robots, right?
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Robots know everything. Brett, AI overview, ready? Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: This is what's so crazy about this, Derek and everybody else.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: NFL teams that trail by 24 points at halftime have
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: a historic winning percentage of approximately 0% to 0.4% as
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: overcoming a 24-point deficit, specifically at the half, is virtually
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: unprecedented in NFL history.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: And our people, your straw poll people are like, yeah,
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: 24 feels about the right number. When I tell you
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: that that doesn't happen in the NFL, in the history
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: of the freaking league.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Ready for this?
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: For context, overall win probability models in historical blowouts show
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: that teams holding a lead of 25 or more points
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: win 99.7% of the time.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And you're saying, ah, that's nothing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, go outside.
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: Do you understand how frigging weird that is, Brett? Do
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: you understand how absurd it is that that number exists?
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: Your game day starts and ends with Altitude Sports Radio
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: two hours before kickoff. DMACC gets you ready with the
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Altitude Kickoff Show, bringing you the latest things on all

  Speaker 4: to be at Clubhouse Working Golf in Cherry Creek on
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Sunday on Colorado Boulevard and Exposition to watch Denver and
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: San Francisco. See if you can outdrive Mosher on the simp.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Maybe you can.

• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Enjoy Free Brothers Barbecue along with beer and wine. The

  Speaker 4: doors open at 1.30, kick off at 2.25. We'll see
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: you on Sunday. We've done a show at their old location.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: This is their new location.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: It's a cool spot. It's literally on the same floor,
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: in the same spot. As our radio station used to be. Yeah,
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: they took over where we used to do our shows at.
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: So, Moj, I pointed that out in the appetizer, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: I told Brett, You're on home turf, buddy. You can't
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: let anybody out drive you in this building where you
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours, man.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Can I say something? These new studios are beautiful, and
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: I love them. The ones at the old place, they
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: were getting a little bit ratchet.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: I literally, I don't know if you guys know this.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: My headphones would occasionally go out during the show, and
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I had to pound the table to get it to
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: work again.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, these new studios are nice. There's one thing
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I miss about that old building.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: The view.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: That view was unbelievable. It was a perfect view of
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: the mountain range looking kind of straight towards Boulder, right?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Was it Boulder? Yeah, you could see all the way
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: to downtown and beyond. It was great.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Anyway, so go check them out Sunday at Colorado Boulevard
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: and Exposition. At Clubhouse Working Golf. I want to play
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: something for you. Saw this last night. And I had
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: a sour reaction to it. And it was awkward. This
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: was Jack Hughes being interviewed after the first period of
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: his game last night by, I don't know who the
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: woman is that was working for AJ Malesko. AJ Malesko.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: This was, you know, they're doing the interview. It's the
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: same player interview in between periods that you hear all
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: the time. Hey, what went right in the first period?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: What are you going to work on for you know,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: the second and third. And then there's always like some
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: sort of cutesy question at the end. So she's talking
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: to Jack Hughes, who last year missed 18 games because
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: he cut his hand at a team dinner. Here's what
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: she said.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: We have 40 minutes to go, so we got to
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: keep working at it.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: Well, it's great to see you healthy.
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: Let's wrap you in bubble wrap and use plastic cutlery
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: this year.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: Does that sound good?
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's a weird joke, big game, but.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: Well, no sense of humor here in a big game,
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: but I appreciate that. I appreciate his time, and he
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: had a good start here this season.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: I want to tell you something right now. What she
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: did was fine. This happens all the time in player interviews.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, it was a sensitive subject. I
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: wouldn't bring it up. Okay.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question, Moj. If instead of
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: her holding the mic in front of him, they put
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: a headset on him in between periods, And they went
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: to TNT. And Biz goes, oh, Hughesy, what do you
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: think about wearing some of those cut-proof gloves next time
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: you have a steak, huh? If he did that to him,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: is he getting that reaction from Hughes?
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Okay. And I'm not making this like it's a man-woman thing.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I think it's a player-non-player thing.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: She was a player. She was a very good player.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: But NHL, locker room, that sort of thing is what
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. All Hughes had to say was, ha ha, thanks,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: and walk away.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not putting this on her at all. At all.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: And you can't, Moj, was I right or wrong? If
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Biz does the same thing, does he get that reaction?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Probably not.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: EJ, when he's talking to McKinnon, Does he throw a
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: little cutesy thing? And I know there are former teammates
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: and stuff like that. I get it. But EJ could
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: do that if he's talking to McDavid. Is he going
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: to get that reaction?
• 36:30
  Speaker 7: No.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Hughes made that weird.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: That's on him. And I like Jack Hughes. I like him.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: But he's the one that made that awkward, not her.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: I'm defending her in this.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: She's a really good person. I'll tell you this much.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I know EJ.
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: I've talked to her on many, many, many, many, many occasions.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: She's a good person, was a terrific hockey player.
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't have made that reference just because I think
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: it was probably sensitive.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Why was he sensitive about it, though? Like, I know
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: it's a dumb way to get hurt, and he missed
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: a game.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Like, I get that.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: I understand it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Also....
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Guys get hurt in weird ways sometimes. You know, I
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: can't remember who the guy was. There was a pitcher
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: in the MLB that sliced his finger on it. He
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: tried to catch a drone, and he got put on
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: the IL. If somebody made a joke about that a
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: year later and said, hey, stay away from flying stuff
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: this year, huh? I don't think he needs to react like, oh,
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: that was a really sensitive time in my life, and
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: actually this is inappropriate for this moment. I mean, to me,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Jack Hughes came off like a giant wuss.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: And they're hockey guys. Chirping is part of what they do.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: It kind of pissed me off when I watched you
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: do that. I'm not even kidding.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: It did. I see it both ways. I understand what
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: you're saying.
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: I guess my thought process is I don't even really
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: know the true background story on how he got cut
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: and so on and so forth. I really have no idea.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: Maybe there's more to the story. Maybe that is the story.
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: I don't know. But it feels like his reaction tells
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: me there's a little bit more to the story than just.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Could be. Oh, I accidentally slipped.
• 38:30
  Speaker 7: And cut myself on a stick knife.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: But again, I have no idea. No clue.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Well, here it is one more time.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: We have 40 minutes to go, so we got to
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: keep working at it.
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: Well, it's great to see you healthy.
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: Let's wrap you in bubble wrap and use plastic cutlery
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: this year.
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: Does that sound good?
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's a weird joke, big game.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: Well, no sense of humor here in a big game,
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: but I appreciate that. I appreciate his time, and he
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: had a good start here this season.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: And maybe you're right, Moj. Maybe, maybe, are you saying
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: like perhaps, I'm not saying you're alleging anything, but perhaps
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: there's more to the story than I was cutting a
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: steak and it slipped?
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, maybe.
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Now- And other things happened in hockey last night. I
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: saw Edmonton had eight goals through 30 minutes of their game.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Well, and then they allowed, it was Vancouver, right? That
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: they're playing. Correct. Um, that game was eight, six late.
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I, it's, uh, it's a crazy start. Well, it
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: finished nine, seven. You realize the Canucks scored four goals
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: in the third period.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: It's a, uh, it's a kind of a crazy start
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: to the season. I don't think teams are truly into
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: there because the preseason was shorter and.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Is there a reason for that? I don't know.
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: There's been some really weird, wild scores to start the
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: year out. But, yeah, the Oilers, after losing their first game,
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: responded in a big-time way last night. They lost 6-5
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: to Vancouver at home. Then they go to Vancouver, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: they win 9-7.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Weird stuff, man.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: I will say this, Alexander Barkoff for the Panthers, they
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: were in San Jose last night. You know, he missed
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: last year with a torn, was it ACL and MCL, Nelly?
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: They're a superstar. Yeah.
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, and he's a really valuable, good, important player
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: for them. He left last night with another knee injury
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: and will have an MRI today. And it didn't look
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: good because he went down to the corner and he
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: absolutely just bailed out after that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: That kind of thing is so scary.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: When it comes to football and hockey, man, your fortunes
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: are determined by one dude's knee.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: It just sucks.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: So a couple other things here, just quickly. And we'll
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: get more in detail on college football over the weekend.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I do want to discuss what the expectations should be
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: for CU, especially starting a new quarterback now. And I
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: don't know if you noticed, Moj, somebody took screenshots of
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Juju Lewis' aunt on Twitter last night who had some
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: things to say about this decision.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I did not see that.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: So we'll get to that in a bit.
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: So we're going to talk about a player's aunt said
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: something on the old Twitter machine.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the thing. This is not always a reflection
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: of how the player feels when a family member says something.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: God knows... Kelly Stafford says a lot of things that
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think that Matthew Stafford feels.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a history there. Yeah. There's a history.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: You think I'm mouthy.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, whoa, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, whoa.
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: What?
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: I got a mouthy wife, too. I get it.
• 42:06
  Speaker 9: What?
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: Hey, Don Draper, forget about it.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: She has a podcast.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: That's the definition of mouthy.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, whoa, hey, whoa, hey, whoa.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: Am I wrong? I didn't say she was bad.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, whoa.
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: What am I pausing for? Why are you guys acting
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: like I'm saying something rude?
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: Hey, this mouthy broad over here, forget about it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, what am I doing here? I'm saying something objectively true.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: If you have a podcast, you're by definition mouthy. I'm mouthy.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: You are mouthy. You have been mouthy lately.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Anyway, a lot of college football games that I want
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: to get to. One of them, I'm telling you, Moj.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to continue to do it. You guys
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: can yell all you want to. Oh, stop talking about this, please.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: Mario Taylor playing at home against Alabama is the game
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: of the weekend to me in all of football. NFL
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: and college. And here's why. He has been on record saying,
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: I'm from Starkville. I grew up right down the street
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: from the stadium. I love Mississippi State. I am determined
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: to put them back on the map. How do you
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: do that? How does an SEC team get back on
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: the map? How did Vandy get back on the map?
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: Well, you had Diego Pavia, and he was dynamic in college.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: You do it by beating Alabama. And you do it
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: by beating Alabama in your home stadium.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I thought we were going to say, well, listen.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: And they were playing in Starkville this weekend as six-point dogs.
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: Without Kamario Taylor, dude, Mississippi State is not, they're not
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: the same.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: It's all they need.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I would encourage everybody.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: It's all they need.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Listen to what Brett Kane is saying. When is that game?
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: 10 o'clock tomorrow. 10 a.m.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Do we have it here?
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: No.
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, crap.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: It will not be on tomorrow.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Do yourself a favor.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: We have Notre Dame, North Carolina tomorrow.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a pretty good game.
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Do yourself a favor, ladies and gentlemen. I know
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: we've been talking about Kamario Taylor. I know that Coach
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: Sanford has been talking about Kamario Taylor. Do yourself a
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: favor and watch that game. At least watch some Mississippi
• 44:08
  Speaker 7: State offensive possessions because this kid is amazing.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Watch him throw the football, and you'll be like, ooh, mama.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: That is the game of the weekend. Everybody's picking Bama. Which, fine.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: But I ride with Kamario Taylor, ride or die.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I ride or die with that guy.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: He is mine forever, by the way. I'm going to
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: turn into, like, I'm going to be the guy, for
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: the first time in my life, I'm going to be
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: a football fan that I'm a fan of whatever team
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: he plays for. Whoever he gets drafted by is now
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: my second favorite team.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: 303-504-0925. Got a lot more football to discuss on this
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: Bud Light Football Friday. Stick around.
