• 1:26
  Speaker 6: Hey boys, it's a Bud Light Football Friday.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: We're back.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: NFL opening week this weekend. That game last night, you
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: could have heard right here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Westwood won on the call.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Altitude Sports Radio loves football.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: That's right. One thing is pretty clear. I think trying
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: to get to the stadium in Australia like 36 hours
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: before the game Probably wasn't the right call. The Rams
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: looked incredibly sluggish in that game.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Incredibly.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: And the Niners were just kind of on it from
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: the jump. Haven't seen Stafford put up a nothing burger
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: game like that in a minute. I mean, for the
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: MVP last year, what did he have most? 46 touchdowns
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: or something like that?
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I think 41. I think it's bigger than that. I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: just think Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay's number. Could be.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, 12-7 against McVay. Every time they play, especially
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in L.A., and it doesn't matter what Shanahan's team looks like.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys remember. There was a
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: game last year where they went in with nobody. They
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: had injuries everywhere and won the game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe the healthy San Francisco 49ers are a pretty good
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: football team. Well, they are.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Like, here's the crazy thing, guys. The AFC West is
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: a pretty good division, right? You got the Broncos. You
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: got the Chiefs. You got the Chargers. The NFC North
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: had every team last year finish above 500. Pretty hard
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: to do. The NFC West, if you just ignore the
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: Arizona Cardinals, they had three 12-win teams last year.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Three of them.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: And the Rams, the Niners, and the Seahawks. That's an
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: incredibly good division. And here's where I'm with you on this, Vic.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: I know you're... I don't want to speak for you,
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: but I feel like I got this right. You're pretty
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: anti-playing these games all over the world in different places
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: and blah, blah, blah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's stupid.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I think playing a game that is that much of
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: a contrast in time zones in a divisional game that's
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: really important for those two teams. If you want to
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: put Browns-Panthers in Australia to open up the season, fine.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: But this is an important divisional game that you're playing
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: some time clock games with. I just think that's a
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: little bit silly. I don't know if you guys felt this.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: I explained it to Nelly like... You ever been in
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: a casino in the middle of the day? Casinos typically
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: don't have windows. They don't want you to know what
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: time it is, right?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well, it's impossible to whether, you know, whether it's 1 a.m.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: or 1 p.m., you don't know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: You ever walked out of a casino and the sun's
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: out and you're like, oh, I felt like that watching
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: the game. It was weird to me how bright that was.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: It felt like I was watching a game at 11
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: on a Sunday.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It did feel weird because it's dark at our house,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but it's... I mean, bright as hell. And you can
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: tell it's the morning sun, right? You can tell that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: bright morning sun. Yes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: It weirded me out all game.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Well, when I started watching the pregame show, Vic... And
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: they had this reporter, she was reporting, da-ba-da-da-da, and it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was clearly tape delayed, right? Like they had done it before. Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: But the sun was rising in Melbourne, and I'm like, what? No, no, no,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's like three in the afternoon here, bro. What are
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: we doing? It just felt weird.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: I'm with you, though, Vic.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: You've turned me at least on this. I know why
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: they're doing the international games. You can't have a game
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: that important being decided by some weirdness of clocks, okay?
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Just can't happen. But shout out to the Niners. I'll
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: tell you what. You mentioned Kyle Shanahan, Vic. Think about
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: what that team's had to deal with over the last
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: few years injury-wise. And how are they always that good?
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Last year, we talk about, you know, having your backup
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: quarterback for a game and how bad that was for
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: the AFC Championship. They missed Brock Purdy for multiple weeks.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Didn't matter. Didn't have Trent Williams.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Fred Warner hurt.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Didn't matter.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Kittle Achilles.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: They just win.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: That's all they do. They just win.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You know what else that game proved to me? You
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: often make the comp, I know I have, that if
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix can become Brock Purdy, Bronco fans should be happy.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That's a great comp. I've said this from the get-go.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I said that is his comp, Brock Purdy. And the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: blowback has been, at times, severe. People, huh, how dare
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you compare him to a guy drafted last. How dare,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: did you watch.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Him last night?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He makes throws. He makes throws, man. I'm sort of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: tired of people saying he's just a product of the system.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: He made the system. He helped with the system last night. Vic,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: your boy here has got this mental block, though. He's got,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say an anti-Purdy block. It's not anti-Purdy.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what it is.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's in my head. Let me tell you.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: What's in your head.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Let me take that corn out of your ear. When
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the Rams were trailing 17-7, and the Niners got the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: ball back, and they went 99 yards? Mm-hmm. Go back
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and look at those 99 yards and who made that drive.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Go back and look at the plays. Oh, he buried them.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That was Brock Purdy. Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: That was Brock Purdy. So enough of the Brock Purdy hate.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That's a good quarterback there.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And you know what?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: He outplayed Matt Stafford big time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: At times it didn't look Purdy. The haters still hate.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But it sure ended up Purdy. So, Vic, it's three nothing.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: And Purdy throws a pick. And I'm like, kid, you
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: just done blew it. You let him off the mat
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Now watch out. You're going to get
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: this jammed right down your throat. Blah, blah, blah. No,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: not at all. Stafford looked as bad as I've ever
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: seen Matt Stafford look. I don't think I've ever seen
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Matt Stafford in any uniform.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: Did you guys see the picture of Sean McVay and
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Stafford getting off the plane?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: They look miserable.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: They look tired is what they looked. Stafford's like hair
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: was disheveled. His eyes were half open. I'm like, he
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: played like that. Whatever that picture was, he played like
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: it because they just they looked totally out of sorts,
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: by the way. All the ballyhooed Miles Garrett trade thing
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: from the offseason, I didn't notice him a single time
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: last night. I didn't see a pressure. I didn't see
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: a tackle. I saw nothing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: He left the game. I mean, I got hurt game one.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Well, he says he's got a knee injury. I'm thinking
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: to myself, I guess he's been wearing a sleeve for weeks.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Did he do it when he was taking hits from
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that rugby player?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Exactly right. The whole Brock Bowers thing, too, like, yeah,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I know the season starts this week, but, yeah, I'm
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: going to have my knee done. And I'm like....
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know if that, to me, feels like.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: He probably suffered that just late in camp, would be
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: my guess.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's been lingering. I'm thinking to myself, though, yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: my knee's been bad for a little while, is what
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Garrett says. I need to get some rehab going. I'm like...
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: You couldn't have done that weeks. I mean, what have
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you been doing, bro? You knew the season was approaching
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: either way. An impressive win for the 49ers and the Rams.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: We talked about it on paper. Whoa, do they look scary? Well,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: in reality, they were not scary at all. They looked
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: scared and tired.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Just a terrible, in my opinion, this is my humble opinion,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: a bad product for the NFL to put a marquee
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: matchup To open the season on the road in.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: A place where... What?
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: What?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: All those fans are going to walk home now and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: become instant NFL fans? They already were. What are you buying?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: What are you buying there? What's the point?
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: You know what feels like in a week one matchup,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: a great Australia game? Dolphins Raiders. Feels like one you
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: could have thrown out in Australia.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You know what feels like a great Australia game? Preseason
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: game number one.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: That too.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Rams... Niners.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You want to throw a preseason game up in there?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Fire away. Have them fly down. Do all the koala
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: bear features. All that pomp and circumstance. Bring in the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Jonas Brothers. Fire away. That game mattered. That game is
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: going to matter by the end of the season.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: That is stupid. You know one thing that always gets me?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: One thing that always gets me. Sorry, it's an inside joke.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: One thing that always gets me, like, I'm at the rink, right?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Such an idiot. Let's say I'm on the bench, you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the abs at whomever. Abs at Philly, let's say. And
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'm on the bench and then I see somebody like
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: in an Anaheim duck sweater in the corner in Philadelphia, right?
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: And he's like, you're at the wrong game.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You're at the wrong game, bro. You're at the wrong game.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I was watching the pregame again last night. And I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: see this Rams guy walking in. He's walking in. He's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: with his buddy. And his buddy's got a Seahawks jersey on. It's...
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but it's Kenneth Walker III, who's now
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: in Kansas City. And I'm like, you're Australian? Unless you
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: flew there. I'm like, you're just representing because you finally
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: have the NFL in your city. I get that. I
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: dig it. You get a pass. So anybody who was
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: there wearing a Denver Broncos jersey or whatever the case
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: may have been, you're showing off your true colors.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just NFL fans. Right. I totally agree with you.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Exactly right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Those are NFL fans who live down under. who are
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: passionate about the league and the sport, and they're trying to,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I'm totally there. Which is another reason why there's no
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: reason to have that game in Australia. You already have
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: those fans. You already have them. I don't know what
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that's going to do for you. I just don't get it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just a terrible businessman. No, I think, I'm
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: not a businessman.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: They know the product suffers when they play these international games.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: London games have been bad for a long time, for
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: the most part. You get a few good ones mixed
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: in there, but you've had plenty of really bad London games.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I know why they're doing it. I highly disagree with
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: putting a division matchup that's going to have divisional tiebreakers
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: on the line later in the year.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: It's dumb.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: In that situation.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, Brett, you say... London games aren't good. I would estimate,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and I don't know how I'm going to have the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: research in front of me, I would estimate that 90%
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of the games you put in Europe are bad games.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Bad results.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Boring. Bad offense.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Just sloppy football. The Broncos game last year was god-awful.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: If you look at last year's Broncos-Jets game and said,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I gotta have some of that. I don't
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: know what the hell you're watching.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: 13-11 or something last year? Do you remember how bad
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: that game was?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: It was terrible.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: So what Why, though?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Why not just be content? Game in Brazil. Get the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: hell out of here.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: What are we doing?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Just play the game in your country.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a jingoist here.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Play the game in your country.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: I've already accepted that this is not going to stop.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It's not. What a disservice to actual Rams and Niners
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: fans who live and die and breathe it every day.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: You just can't. I don't think you can have divisional
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: matchups against teams that, especially ones like that, man.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine if the Broncos opened the season against
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Kansas City in, I don't know, Bangladesh?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, I get your point, but you can't pull Bangladesh
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: out your tailpipe because... I can pull.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Whatever I want. I'll pull whatever country I please.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Hold on, hold on. Let's try and find... All right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: all three of us, we're going to name a country.
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: Try and find the most random country we could play
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: an NFL game in, and Nelly will be the judge
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: on who has the best answer.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: North Monrovia.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Monrovia. I got my North Macedonia.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: You got North Macedonia.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I got Monrovia. I'm going with Monrovia.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: All right. I got, hang on, I got a game.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Just imagine this for a second. Chiefs Broncos in Djibouti.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a capital, right?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: It's not a country.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: No, Djibouti's a country.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: No, Mosher, you know what the capital of Djibouti is?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Djibouti. Djibouti. Aha, so we're both right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: So the Broncos can play a game in Djibouti, Djibouti.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It's on the horn of Africa.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I'll pick my destination. North Korea.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's great.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Bo Nix is going to be chucking bombs in
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: North Korea.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: You want peace? You want stability? Give them a little football.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: By the way, that country, you know what it sounds
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: like to me? It's like, ask your doctor if Monrovia
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: is right for you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: You know what, Vic?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Side effects may be heart failure, brain explosion, you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: junk falling off, lost legs.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Hang on, hang on.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I'll take it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: I like it, Vic. Put that opening game in Pyongyang
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: and let's get this thing rolling.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: It's a Bud Light Football Friday. A whole bunch to
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: get to. Huge weekend in college football as well. Stick around.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I want to do that first, I think.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: What'd you just say?
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: So I want to do that first. I want to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: talk the 25th anniversary of 9-11. Yeah. Vic, I love
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: your hat. Excellent representation.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I just, I feel the first... 25 years, man.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I remember exactly where I was and what I was
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: doing when I heard early in the morning about the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: first crash into the towers. And then, of course, everything
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: was just so chaotic unfolding. But what I don't want
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to do is the further away we get... Look, I
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: know this works for all time marches on. But it
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: would be hard for me to believe that in 1966,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: people were going, oh, Pearl Harbor, well, you know, oh yeah,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Pearl Harbor. I mean, it was a huge moment in
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: the history of our country. This was also a huge
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: moment in the history of our country. I know time
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: will march on. And there were kids in the 70s
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: who were taught about Pearl Harbor, but they have no,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: there's no personal connection because they weren't born or anything
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: of that nature. And it's the same story now. I mean,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: you've got 20, you've got college graduates, Vic, who have
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: no recollection of it because they weren't even alive at
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the time. You know what I mean?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Tonight, Altitude Television and Altitude Sports Radio is broadcasting a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: game from Pine Creek, Pine Creek versus Arvada West High School.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: It's a military appreciation night at this game. And at halftime,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they're going to do a ceremony honoring the 25 years
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: since 9-11. And it hit me when I was talking
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to Coach Trevor Hudson, the head coach of the Pine
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Creek Eagles, that the kids he coaches were not here, obviously.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: They weren't born yet. So all these stories, all the memories,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: everything we know, everything that we experienced, he has to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: relay to them. Much like Pearl Harbor was to us, Moshe,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: when we were growing up.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: We weren't there for Pearl Harbor. We just read about it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: We heard about it, the devastation. It's the same effect now,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and you are so right. It's something we should never forget.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It's something we should always honor, the lives of those people.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And that's why every year about this time, I'm not
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: going to lie to you, I'm not a fan of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: this date. It's just never going to be the same
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to me. I'll never forget where I was. I was
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: at a hospital covering Ed McCaffrey. It was the day
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: after the Broncos lost to the Giants. Ed McCaffrey broke
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: his leg. And then the world came crashing down. Everything changed.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Sports stopped for two weeks when I was working at
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: channel four, we did not cover sports for two weeks.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We didn't talk sports. It stopped. Just goes to show
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: you what was important. What is important.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It's in.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: You're so right about this. It's amazing how much things
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: changed after that too. We're in some ways motion, entirely
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: different country afterwards in some ways. Um, But yes, 25
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: years ago.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: It's just early this morning, I was listening to a
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: certain thing, and basically they were replaying the coverage of
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: that day. This is just the audio that I was hearing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: And all those emotions and all that fear and everything
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: came flooding back. And then you listen to how absolutely
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: chaotic it was and people didn't know, you know, from, from,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you had no idea what was happening at first, right?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It was, you think, oh, like a Cessna hit the
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: World Trade Center, right? Because there was no, it was
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: an accident. It was the first thought. And then to
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: listen to it progress and, and see the photos of
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that gal, you know, standing in the gaping hole of the,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: of the, first building and, you know, is waving a towel,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: but they were never going to be able to get
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to her. It's just, it's so sad, man. I don't
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: know how old. Vic, she's 87, 85 stories up, and
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: she's just standing on the edge of the building staring
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: into the ether. It's just, I can't even imagine.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Brent and Nellie, in apologies, I can't do the math.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: How old were you when 9-11 happened?
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: I remember I was in the sixth grade.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Sixth grade. Okay, so you were at school? Twelve, eleven.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: You were at school when it took place, or were
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: you about to go to school? At school.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So, you know, we were at home, and we had
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: our first child, and we were sitting there. There were moments,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: there were moments, I thought the world was going to end.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I was like, what?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And it's where your family becomes ultra important, and you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: just want to be home hugging your family members. You
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: don't want to be anywhere else.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Connor and I, oh, go ahead, I'm sorry.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And very few times, you know, Columbine did that as
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: well to me. Absolutely.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Columbine did it, 9-11.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: There are moments in life that shake you up and
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: fundamentally break you down and, again, remind you that what
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: we do for a living, what we do every morning here,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: this is just– this is fun and games, man.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Connor McGehee and I had the privilege. We were invited
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: by Jason Tomasetti, who works in the Pentagon– We were
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: invited during the weekend when we were in DC this
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: year to take a tour of the Pentagon private tour.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: And there was nobody there. I mean, I saw maybe
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: three other people and we had full access to the
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: entire Pentagon and it is, it's, it's big. I mean,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: you could ride a motorcycle through the Pentagon all over
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: the place, but we, but they have done an excellent
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: job of remembering the Pentagon situation there and the, You
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: ought to see these benches they have outside as to
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: where the plane came in. And the names and ages
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: of everybody is kind of where they were sitting. It
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: all goes toward the building. And you're inside the building,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and it looks like they've just kind of redone it
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of thing. But then they have
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the maps. And the one that was startling to me, Vic,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: is the one where they show the destruction inside the Pentagon,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and then they show people who were working where they were.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: And if it was red, it means they lived. If
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it was blue, it means they passed away. You know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: this kind of thing. And this person was on break
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: or this person was in a different wing in a meeting,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And then some people who were
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in the midst of the carnage actually did survive. It's
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: absolutely incredible. But we walked in deep and he goes, well,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: here it is. Jason did. And I go, what? He goes,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: this is the furthest penetration inside the building that plane had.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And they redid it, but they left on that far wall.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: And it's like a road in the middle of the Pentagon.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: You could drive trucks and cars in it and stuff.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: And on that far wall, it's still scorched. Wow. They
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: left all the scorching on that wall where the last
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: bit of plane and burning wreckage was. They left that there,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that far into that inner ring. And it's just, it's
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: a sobering, sobering thing to see. And I just, you know, Vic,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: you're right. We just, we always need to be thoughtful
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and always remember, always. I just don't want this thing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to sort of dissipate as time goes on.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it never will. There's a memorial in New York City,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and if you haven't been there, I highly encourage.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: You to visit. It's incredible. It's very moving.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It's never going to be forgotten, and certainly not for
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: our generation.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: So, as we remember 9-11 25 years ago, talk about
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: some sports. We got the NFL opening up this weekend.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Big games in college football as well. Obviously, Ohio State
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: and Texas is going to take place tomorrow night, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: you can hear that right here on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: See the ticket prices for that game? No.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Highest ticket prices ever.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Is it in Austin?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in Austin.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Okay. They're not playing like at the Cotton Bowl or something?
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Do you know how hot it's going to be? Hang on,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: hang on.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Do you realize what the temperature has been in Austin
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: all week?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's been 100.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Degrees with like 60% humidity. It is going to melt.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, tickets as low as $ 439. Yeah.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what's the get in the building price?
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: That's a big stadium, too. Holy crap. That ain't no
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: small little place. That's a big stadium. They won't have
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: a USC problem for that game.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Put it that way. Oh, too hot.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: So there are, like, this is a pretty good week
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: for matchups. You got some more Power 5 versus Power
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: 5 stuff. He still has some other ones mixed in.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I'm really curious, 10 a.m. tomorrow, to see how Michigan responds.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: They play Oklahoma, and they're playing that game in the
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: big house. I want to see how they respond and
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: how Bryce Underwood responds to all of the... I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: they've been lashed for a week straight over how they
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: won last week, and now they're playing... the number 11
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: team in the country. How do you bounce back in
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: a way that's respectable from that? But you have a
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: whole bunch of really good matchups. Now, one of the
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: things that I'm super curious about, and this would typically
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: be the time we talk about Broncos and their matchup
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: this weekend, right? But because they're playing on Monday, we
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: got plenty of time to do that.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I also don't like, I'm on record, I don't like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: This fan base being one of the last fan bases
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: besides Kansas City to get your team going.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: It sucks.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: The waiting is the hardest. Tom Petty once said they
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: were like great Tom Petty. The waiting is the hardest part.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Here's the thing I was thinking about, though, and we
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: can get into this in more detail later. I am
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: so eager to see how Sean Payton handles the step
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: back in his role.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: So am I. We talked about this yesterday with Mike
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Sanford because Mike Sanford is a play caller and head coach.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: What do you do if you're not looking at that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: play sheet all day trying to figure out what play
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you're calling?
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: And so here's what Davis Webb said about Sean Payton
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: helping him get ready for this game.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: I think game day is going to be similar to
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: what has been the preseason. You know, he's been awesome
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: throughout the game. You know, he has his few pointers
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: here and there, and they're all very productive pointers. I mean,
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: he's 62 years old. I'm 31.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: It is what it is.
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: He has a lot more experience than me. Even the
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: last few nights, he's given us five to ten nuggets
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: that has really benefited us going through the game, playing meetings.
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: It's still a Sean Payton offense, and that's how we
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: want to operate it.
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: Like he mentions, he's 62. I'm 31. He's half his age.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: He has all this experience. And for Davis Webb, I
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: don't think you could pick a better situation to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: a first-time play caller. In a team that you're familiar with,
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: in an offensive system you're familiar with, and a team
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: that returns basically every starter to the offense, you add
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: in an electric route runner like Jalen Waddell, he's in
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: the perfect spot to have success.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a question of whether or not, so you're
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: running an offense that lives inside the Sean Payton ecosystem,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: so there's only so far you can take it. You're
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: not going to run plays that he doesn't tolerate. You're
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: not going to invent plays that don't fit his style.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So when we assess and evaluate Davis Webb, I think
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: we all need just to remember that. The plays that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: he's running, they're great plays or bad plays, whatever.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: But they're not really his.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: They're Sean Payton's.
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: They're Sean Payton's with a little sprinkle of Davis Webb
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: tweaks on there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Not too crazy, though.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Here's what's funny, though, Vic. I had Nelly dig these
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: up because this was just top of my head things
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: that I remember. And I'm like, how is Sean Payton
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: going to handle not being the dude in charge? He's
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: been basically calling plays in the NFL since 2000.
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: Okay?
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Even the year he was suspended, he went to Liberty
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: Christian High School in Texas and was their offensive coordinator.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: He still cold plays.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Kevin James. So I was like, how is he
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: going to handle this? And I remember two quotes specifically
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: from Sean Payton from earlier this year in training camp
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: and after preseason games, where it feels like to me,
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: he's going to be gritting his teeth in white knuckling
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: this deal. And Nelly, if you could, could you play
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the clip after the first preseason game, this was on
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: August 17th, the Monday afterwards, in which somebody asked him
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: about the roles between Davis Webb's new role and his
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: new role. Listen to this.
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I thought the flow was good. I
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: thought he did a good job. The substitutions were clean.
• 27:24
  Speaker 10: And yeah, it went pretty smooth.
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: So pause there for a second. We've already done this
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: with Steve Ballmer. Indication of deception is.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I, uh, you know, I thought he did well.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: They conned me.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Substitutions are great.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Webb conned me with that play call.
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: Hit me with the beginning of that again.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: There, Nelly. Um, give me the yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Right afterwards.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, I think.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's, that's not a bomb.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I think. Okay.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: They conned me.
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: Let's go to the second part of the question.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: That was Davis Webb.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: What about your role?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: What about your role?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Felt pretty comfortable with it.
• 28:03
  Speaker 10: You know, um, All the things that you're looking at
• 28:06
  Speaker 10: closely during the game, some situational stuff that comes up.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: Maybe you make a note that you're going to want
• 28:12
  Speaker 10: to talk about. But I thought overall I was pleased
• 28:16
  Speaker 10: with it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff and, you know, stuff.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: And then he's talking to Kay Adams. You guys remember this?
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: When she asked about Davis Webb, his new role, what's
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: he going to be to Davis Webb? And he said.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: Can you make me feel better about you not calling
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: the place?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: We'll still be real involved. I think. I think.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: When you have a young coach like Davis and you
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: see something in him, and he's called plays in the preseason.
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: You remember driver's ed when it was in high school
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: and you had the steering wheel, but the teacher had
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: the brake and they were right next to you. This
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: is before they went online. So I'll be next to him.
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: And if there's something we need, he's not going to fail.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: How much freedom is he willing to give Davis Webb?
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: And by freedom, I mean this. Freedom, to me, is
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: you have the ability to make a mistake. Multiple mistakes.
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: Because you're new at this. And whatever you do, even
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: if you're not, if you're an experienced coach, experienced at
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: your job, you're going to mess up. You're going to
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: make mistakes. How willing is he to live through those
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: without getting in Davis' ear?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: I think that's impossible to predict because we haven't seen
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: it yet. I mean, we've seen it in preseason, but
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: we haven't seen it for real. So I don't know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: but I'm guessing there's going to be a camera on
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: him a lot.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: If it's the second half and the Broncos have only
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: put up three points, we're midway through the third quarter,
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: and it's the second straight three and out of the
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: second half, what's going to happen? Well, I'm not saying
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: he's going to grab the sheet from him. I'm not
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: saying that. But how much is he going to be like,
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: I think we need to run this play next.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? He's going to have his
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: own sheet. Yes. And he's going to be going over
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: things in his own brain, Vic. I think the biggest
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: mistake you can make, now that you've made this decision,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: is to get panicky in week one. You can't. No, no, no,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: you can't. Or even week two or three. I mean,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: unless we're getting to like week six... and things have
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: gone abysmally for your offense, unless that is the scenario
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: and you want to start taking it back, you've got
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: to let it roll. You've made this decision. This is
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: who you are now as a team.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: It's got to be Nate Hackett level bad to where
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: it's got to be so bad that even in year
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: one of a head coach, you're like, this is not
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: going to work.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: It starts with me.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: We need to stop this immediately. That's how bad it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: got to be. And I don't think there's any chance
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: it could be that bad with Davis Webb.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it is because he's going to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: have somebody hovering who's going to be able to help
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: along the way. I mean, you know, if things go
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: completely wacko, again, you mentioned the student driver. You got
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: somebody to help hit the brake, reach over and grab
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the wheel. Would you feel uncomfortable, though, if you're Davis Webb, Vic?
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: If you're Davis Webb and you know somebody sort of
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: like helicopter parenting?
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. This is the job.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: This is what it is.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And he's called a couple games already. He called a
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: preseason game last year. He's called preseason games this year.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's fine. You're going to run into moments
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: where you're like, okay, nothing's working. Any help here? Hey, Sean,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: any suggestions?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, you know, though, I want one of those.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: I want a Fitbit on him.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: See the blood pressure?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Vic, I mean, are there machines now that take
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: your blood pressure in real time?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Where's he going to hide his face, though?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: He might have to just bring an empty manila folder.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: I thought about that, Vic. I go, I bet you
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: they'll cut Deshaun Payton on the sideline when the offense
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: is there, and out of just habit, he's going to
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: have a piece of paper in front of his face.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. A Hallmark card or something.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Last thing. I know we've got to go. Burton, only
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: when he reads, he reads like this.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: That's because he's blind.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: He can't see. It's Bud Light Football Friday. I can't read!
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: Bud Light Football Friday today. Join us live at Society
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Sports and Spirits in downtown Denver starting at 3 for

  Speaker 6: Society Sports today at 3, powered by Bud Light. the

  Speaker 2: Can I lay out a mea culpa on this football Friday?
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: It's Bud Light Football Friday. Bud Light Football Friday.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, Vic.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Here's me yesterday.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: Hey, man.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even... I can't even remember last time I
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: saw a C on a jersey in football.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: So all it takes.
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: Did you see every C in the world?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Well, they had these patches on anyway, right? They had
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: patches on for the game. But, Vic, I saw every.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Every friggin' C, even glancing by, right?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: How dumb did you feel?
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Like an absolute moron. I'm like, you know what? I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: never even registered with you.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: If you guys don't know what we're talking about, Mosier
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: said he's never seen a Captain C on a football uniform.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: He's like, football doesn't do that, do they? And I said, Nelly,
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: can you just pull up a picture of Bo Nix
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: for me real quick? And he had a gigantic C,
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: like an unmissable C on his jersey.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But on a level of like one to Mojo like dumb,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: how dumb did you feel?
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: One. I mean, I was dumb. I was an idiot.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Because now, honestly, it's like, It seemed like every guy
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: is wearing a C. Yeah, I know.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Even non-captains are now wearing Cs just for that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: That's what it felt like. I'm like, well, there's a C.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: There's a C. And there's a C. And there's a C.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: And they're like, okay, well, you know, once something is
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: brought to your attention, you can't. If I said, hey,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you know, well, it used to be back in the day,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: you know. VW Bugs, right? This was way back when
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I was a kid.
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, you're driving with your parents,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: and all you see is VW Bugs all.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Over the place.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Doing the slug bug game.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Correct, yeah.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: So college football, we got a few really good matchups
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: this weekend.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Am I allowed to lay it?
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: You're still going to lay it down.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: But we're going to do something a little different this go.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Lay that down!
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to track your record.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: And you're going to have to earn your way on
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Lay It Down.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I know my record.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: My record's two and six.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, these are well thought out, well researched.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: You do your work on these.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Well educated picks that I've just gotten scroogied the first
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Moshe, when you do Lay
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: It Down, I often sit there and I listen to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you and I say, God, for the first time during
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: this radio show, he's actually doing some research.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: There is no, I got scroogied by Clemson's going to
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: cover the spread. You didn't get backdoored.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, that was a bad one. I admit it. I
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: admit it. But my Sac State, the over-under for Colorado,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: it was 47.5 and they combined for 48. Okay, that's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: a scroogey.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: All right, hang on a second.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Sac State Hornets getting 9.5, they lose by 10. That's
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: a scroogey. Speaking of, I have to bring something up.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, not even to get a push.
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: I have to bring something up. We didn't even, I
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: don't think we wasted a breath on this story because
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: everybody saw right through it. But I'm just going to
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: read to you this article on ESPN. The meeting of
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: SEC presidents and chancellors Thursday ended without any punishment imposed
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: on LSU. They were meeting to indicate whether to terminate
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Louisiana State University from the conference or not.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, please.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: Think about, just in recent memory, I want you guys
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: to come up with something here. Think about the emptiest,
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: most hollow threat you've heard in recent memory. And tell
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: me if it in any way gets close to the
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: threat of the SEC voting to expel LSU from the conference.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: And This is part of the reason why we were
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: just talking about this last week, or maybe earlier this week.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: I know that Lane Kiffin is a gigantic Richard, okay?
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: I know it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: I kind of like Lane Kiffin for it, though, because
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: he took that pro players thing. They have 105 players
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: on the college roster.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: He had 103.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: And he just sat there, and he was like, I'm
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: going to take this to the last second. And then
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: he finally goes, ah, just kidding. But think about this.
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: The SEC goes, we'll kick you out of the conference.
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: And Lane looks at him and goes, do it. Hey, hey,
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: do it then. I love that he was just sitting there.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: He's like, you aren't going to do a damn thing.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Vic, you're from the South.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Did you say I'm from the South?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: What is the big paper in Baton Rouge?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Is that the Times-Picayune?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I think that's it. That sounds good.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, what a poll.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Because the SEC Greg Sankey.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: The Times Pyongyang?
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, Irv Brown. That's something the late great Irv Brown
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: would say. That's so good. What was Picayune, by the way?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I get the times. Times picayune. I mean, do they
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: just make up a word?
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: No, Vic, that's what you said to your wife. You said,
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: I picayune.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, that means you're from the north side.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Good stuff. That's a good one.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: No, but what I'm saying is, Greg Sankey and the SEC,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: think of the most arrogant, obnoxious, fist-wielding, person, or organizations
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: in sports, and then multiply it by 10, and that's
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: the SEC. What is it?
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: All right, this can't be right. I just looked up
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Piggy Yoon on Google. This can't be the definition. You
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: can't have your paper named this.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Noun.
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: Anything of very little value. An insignificant person or thing.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: An obsolete small coin. There's no way that's it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, you work for the Times, Picayune. We work for
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: the Times.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: You work for that insignificant Times paper? I would take
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: out a full page ad if I was LSU.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Synonyms.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Uh-oh.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Inconsequential.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Paltry. Petty.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Trivial.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: There's no way that's right.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, newspaper historians, if you exist, why the hell would
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: they call it the Times-Picayune?
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I think there's a city, right? There's a town?
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: It says in the 19th century in Louisiana and other
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: southern states, a picayune was a small coin of Spanish
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: origins with a low monetary value. So I think it
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: cost a picayune to get the paper.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: It's like the Times-Peso. Times-Penny.
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: The Times-Nickel, yes.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: So I would take out a full-page ad, and I
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: would say, Dear SEC— Yeah, do it. We dare you.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Love LSU.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, what an empty... We'll expel you from the conference.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Then do it!
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Then do it.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Because here's what I know you aren't going to do.
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: Kick out a cash cow from your conference.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: No, you are not.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: A team that wins national titles. A team that produces
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Heisman Trophy winners.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: You aren't doing that.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And by the way, let's say it ever happened.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Where would LSU be the next day? I mean, their
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: fan base would be angry. because it wouldn't mean as
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: much because you're not in the SEC. But, I mean,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: they could go to the Big Ten tomorrow.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Well, they would have to join a conference because there's
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: no way they would be able to survive an independent schedule.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: There's only one team that can do that.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: People would support them just as much if they were
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: in the Big Ten playing Michigan and Ohio State.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: In a conference, but there's no way they could go independent.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody wants to do.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: The independent thing, but they can't do it. No, no, no, no.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't go to the ACC. The Big Ten would
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: gobble them up the next day. It's such a hollow, empty...
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: It's such performative bull crap. It's stupid. Gotta hate the SEC.
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: Hang on a second. Hate them. Who was the, this is,
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know, 20, 30 years ago. Who was the
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: blonde woman who married the really old guy?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Anna Nicole Smith. That really nails it. Again, the detail
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: from this guy.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I got it. It's Anna Nicole Smith.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: That's it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: How does he know what I'm talking about then, Vic?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Because he's an old guy.
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: So I don't know the details of that whole marriage,
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: but let's say that she had to sign a prenup
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: before this, okay? And she goes up to this old
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: dude and goes, I'll divorce you.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Do it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: You know what? Go ahead.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Do it.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: We all know what the transaction is here, okay? If
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: you weren't getting a dime of my money if you
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: leave me, I know exactly what's... I dare you.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I dare you.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: It's just so stupid. And that's why I love Lane Kiffin.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: That's what he did. He took that to the last second.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: And he goes, you aren't doing anything to me.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just... It's so silly. I mean, God.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: These guys.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Vic, they truly believe that they are the greatest thing ever,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: the SEC.
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: It would be the same thing if Roger Goodell.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Greg Sankey must think he's the king of the world.
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: If Roger Goodell came up to Jerry Jones over some
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: sort of thing they disagreed on and said, we're going
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: to boot you out of the NFL.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Sure you will.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Do it then. Do it.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: If you're actually going to threaten me with this, then
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: actually you have to be able to follow through.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: What is the ultimate bluff ever called?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: The ultimate bluff?
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Like somebody called somebody's bluff. What's the ultimate bluff you
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: can think of that actually somebody called somebody's bluff? Like, oh,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: you want to kick us out of the SEC?
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, God and Adam and Eve, basically. Well, yeah,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you want to eat that apple?
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: Fire away.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Let's see what happens.
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: Well, no, that had actual consequences.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Well, you kicked him out of the Garden of Eden. Yeah.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: That's not a bluff, Vic.
• 41:59
  Speaker 6: He followed through.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I read the Tribune Ruble, and that paper had a different....
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: What would be the ultimate bluff that was called?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Like the SEC will kick you out and then say,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: and then call the bluff, say, do it. That's what
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: LSU would say. Do it. Don't think we won't. Go ahead.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: We're thinking about it, really. I know you are.
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: I mean, for years, these SEC schools were calling the
• 42:24
  Speaker 8: NCAA's bluff where they said, hey, you're not allowed to
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: pay players.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: Okay. Oh, here's a good one. We're Alabama.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: We're totally not paying players.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, hang on.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: JFK and Khrushchev. JFK. Vic, you know the story. You're
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: a history major, right?
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: For those people who don't know.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Cuban Missile Crisis.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Russia was putting missiles and was sending
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: missiles to Cuba. Nuclear missiles. And Kennedy said, oh yeah? Well,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: they blockaded Cuba and said, do you want some? Do
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: you really want some? And Khrushchev eventually said, Okay. Another
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: great bluff is Matt Damon. They turned around.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Matt Damon in rounders. Tremendous bluff.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: He chick all night. He chick.

  Speaker 6: He chick me. Hang on, hang on.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Don't give him.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: No help.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: No help. He chick.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: He chick.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Pay that man his money. Pay that man his money.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: I have never seen somebody worse at doing voices than
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: Vic Lombardi.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I told you why. I have to say it again.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I grew up speaking a different language. When you have
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: to transition from one language to another, you lose your
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: ability to do voices.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Please do me a favor. Because your mother's native tongue
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: is Italian, and yours is essentially, but it's gone from you.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Get Bambini to say, pay that man his money. I
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: want to hear what it sounds like with an Italian accent. Please.
• 43:59
