- 0:18Speaker 3: Paints off one again by the Avalanche Cadry. Holding, shooting,
- 0:21Speaker 3: and that floats wide. Four seconds to go. Sam Heim
- 0:24Speaker 3: down ice, and that will be it. Flyers have beaten
- 0:29Speaker 3: the Avalanche. They've won back-to-back games. And Colorado suffers their
- 0:37Speaker 3: third regulation loss of the season to fall to 5-3-1.
- 0:40Speaker 3: A chance for redemption tomorrow night in New Jersey when
- 0:44Speaker 3: they take on the Devils.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Oh, no!
- 0:47Speaker 4: We suck again! All right, the Avs drop their first
- 0:54Speaker 4: game of a back-to-back against Philly. That's... It's a bad loss.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Philly goes into that game. They were 1-6-3. Got their
- 1:06Speaker 4: second regulation win of the year.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Now, Moj.
- 1:13Speaker 4: It was another slow start. I'm still frustrated by what
- 1:19Speaker 4: goalie interference is and what it's not and all these
- 1:21Speaker 4: different things. I don't understand it.
- 1:23Speaker 5: Don't know the rules.
- 1:24Speaker 4: But bottom line is you can't keep giving away 2-0
- 1:27Speaker 4: deficits to start a game. This will happen.
- 1:30Speaker 5: Yeah, it absolutely will. It's a bad loss.
- 1:33Speaker 6: I'm going to credit. I did it last night in
- 1:37Speaker 6: the postgame show, and I did it during the game.
- 1:39Speaker 6: So I'm going to credit Philly with the way they
- 1:40Speaker 6: played because sustaining that sort of pressure for 60 minutes
- 1:46Speaker 6: is not an easy thing to do for everybody, right?
- 1:49Speaker 6: I mean, everybody to buy in that way and to
- 1:52Speaker 6: take away all time and space and just put pressure 1,000%
- 1:55Speaker 6: of the time. So that's the only way they could
- 1:59Speaker 6: win because they're dealing with so many injuries. And even
- 2:02Speaker 6: if they had their entire squad, they're not as talented
- 2:04Speaker 6: a team as the Colorado Avalanche. And I'm going to
- 2:07Speaker 6: put this on the apps because they played right into it.
- 2:09Speaker 6: They got stubborn with the puck and they didn't. What
- 2:14Speaker 6: you have to do.
- 2:14Speaker 1: The puck.
- 2:15Speaker 5: Yeah, you've got to shoot more, too. No doubt about it.
- 2:18Speaker 5: But the puck.
- 2:21Speaker 6: But if they're going to do what Pittsburgh did in
- 2:23Speaker 6: the first period the other night, they're going to force
- 2:25Speaker 6: you to dump and chase, then go win a battle
- 2:27Speaker 6: and force them out of that, you know, because they're
- 2:30Speaker 6: not going to want to have to turn and chase
- 2:32Speaker 6: like that the entire time and get smoked, and you
- 2:35Speaker 6: need to go win those battles, and you're trying to
- 2:37Speaker 6: be stubborn, and you're waiting for things to happen rather
- 2:40Speaker 6: than making them happen. So that's completely on the Colorado
- 2:43Speaker 6: Avalanche last night, 1,000%.
- 2:45Speaker 1: 1,000%. Did you see how pissed, how angry Jared Bednar
- 2:50Speaker 1: was after the game? I don't know if you saw
- 2:52Speaker 1: the postgame comments. Well, do we have some of those today, Stephen? Yeah,
- 2:57Speaker 1: but you could see it in his face. I mean,
- 3:00Speaker 1: I was watching the postgame show, and his face was
- 3:03Speaker 1: just like, okay, that was ridiculous. That was inexcusable.
- 3:09Speaker 6: You're going to have those games, Vic, but that's excuses
- 3:13Speaker 6: for other teams. If you're a team that is serious
- 3:16Speaker 6: about winning, you don't do that.
- 3:19Speaker 5: I mean, you just don't.
- 3:20Speaker 6: What you do is you go on out there and
- 3:22Speaker 6: you throttle those teams and you take the two points
- 3:24Speaker 6: and you go and move on. That's what you do.
- 3:29Speaker 6: And he should be upset. All the guys should be upset.
- 3:33Speaker 6: That's a bad loss to a bad hockey club right now.
- 3:37Speaker 4: You know, here's the weird thing. Vic, you said it,
- 3:41Speaker 4: and I feel like a hockey novice whenever I'm watching
- 3:44Speaker 4: an Avs game and I'm screaming this at my television
- 3:46Speaker 4: or I'm just yelling, shoot the puck. I feel like
- 3:48Speaker 4: that's what some know-nothing who watch hockey for the first
- 3:53Speaker 4: time would say, but it is true. It is true.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Especially Mo's like, you got the extra attacker on the ice,
- 3:59Speaker 4: the one that really bothered me. So you battle your
- 4:02Speaker 4: way back. It's three to two. You're trying to tie
- 4:04Speaker 4: the game up. You pull Blackwood. And Marty Natchez. He's
- 4:11Speaker 4: got a lane to shoot the puck when you need
- 4:13Speaker 4: to put the puck on net, and he tries to
- 4:15Speaker 4: make the perfect pass to McKinnon all the way at
- 4:16Speaker 4: the blue line again? And look, if it's a perfect
- 4:20Speaker 4: one-timer pass, then maybe that's the right play. Just put
- 4:23Speaker 4: it on the net.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Johnny Lyles broke it down after the game, and
- 4:27Speaker 1: he made it very obvious. I mean, there's a time
- 4:29Speaker 1: and a place for that, right? There's a time and
- 4:31Speaker 1: a place to play with the puck, and there's a
- 4:33Speaker 1: time just to shoot the puck. You don't have time
- 4:36Speaker 1: to play with it there. Can't play around. There's seconds remaining.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Put it on net. You know, the fancy pants stuff
- 4:44Speaker 1: is great. It may be in the first period, but
- 4:47Speaker 1: with seconds remaining, you have to put that on net.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Have to.
- 4:51Speaker 4: And the bummer is most actually think McKenzie Blackwood played
- 4:54Speaker 4: a pretty good game. I know the stats aren't going
- 4:56Speaker 4: to say that, but I don't think you get much
- 4:58Speaker 4: help in all of this. It's just, for me, that's
- 5:03Speaker 4: a game where you play with your food. And the
- 5:05Speaker 4: Avs have done this, I think, two games in a
- 5:06Speaker 4: row now where you get off to a 2-0 deficit,
- 5:09Speaker 4: then you battle your way back. And look, they're good
- 5:11Speaker 4: enough to overcome it. And sometimes I just think they
- 5:14Speaker 4: get lazy at the beginning of games and they don't
- 5:16Speaker 4: fire off in a way that they should against an
- 5:18Speaker 4: inferior opponent.
- 5:19Speaker 6: Yeah, they just think that our talent will take over
- 5:22Speaker 6: and so on. And you have these other teams. I mean, listen, Philadelphia,
- 5:27Speaker 6: they were a playoff team last year and they won
- 5:29Speaker 6: a round last season. They beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in
- 5:32Speaker 6: the first round and moved on to round number two.
- 5:35Speaker 6: So they don't lack talent. They don't lack coaching. They
- 5:38Speaker 6: don't lack some leadership. But they've dealt with– they had
- 5:41Speaker 6: seven regulars out of the lineup last night, seven. They
- 5:44Speaker 6: had guys called up. I had to write down Alex
- 5:49Speaker 6: Bumps and Oliver Bonks and Hunter McDonalds and Freddie Fruitface
- 5:56Speaker 6: and all these different guys. I didn't even know who
- 5:58Speaker 6: they were. I was going to say something else. because
- 6:02Speaker 6: you can tell the frustrations are a little bit for
- 6:04Speaker 6: any fruit.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Fruit.
- 6:06Speaker 5: It's fruit.
- 6:10Speaker 6: But they're a team that, you know, they've got some pride,
- 6:15Speaker 6: they've got some coaching, but they're not as.
- 6:17Speaker 5: Good as you, period. End of story.
- 6:20Speaker 6: And, yeah, look, Riker kept saying it as the game
- 6:23Speaker 6: went on, you've got to get more volume there. And
- 6:25Speaker 6: the frustrating thing about the Marty play at the end
- 6:28Speaker 6: is not.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Necessarily that.
- 6:32Speaker 6: He was going to score there, but you have teammates
- 6:35Speaker 6: down low to bang home rebounds. Should Wall make the
- 6:40Speaker 6: save or should it hit whatever? Then, of course, you
- 6:42Speaker 6: have great shots that go off your own guy's butt.
- 6:45Speaker 6: They're trying to get out of the way. That's a
- 6:48Speaker 6: very frustrating loss last night, and I'm sure it was
- 6:51Speaker 6: for Coach Bednar. I'm sure it was for the players.
- 6:53Speaker 6: I would expect tonight for it to be a different
- 6:56Speaker 6: story against the New Jersey Devils.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm expecting tonight. Look, they're good on back-to-backs anyway.
- 7:03Speaker 4: But it feels like, to me, there is no way
- 7:06Speaker 4: that you aren't going to be ultra-motivated heading into this
- 7:09Speaker 4: game from the very jump from puck drop. Here's Jared
- 7:11Speaker 4: Bednar after the game, by the way.
- 7:13Speaker 7: Sluggish and sloppy. Execution was a big factor for us
- 7:18Speaker 7: tonight in the pace that we were playing at. It
- 7:21Speaker 7: was sloppy. Passes weren't good. Handling passes weren't good. It's
- 7:26Speaker 7: hard to go anywhere when you're... beating the puck up,
- 7:30Speaker 7: you know, and that's what I thought we did for
- 7:31Speaker 7: the bulk of the game, and then when we started
- 7:34Speaker 7: to execute a little bit, like, we just made it
- 7:36Speaker 7: too easy on them, like, not enough traffic to the net,
- 7:39Speaker 7: not enough pucks going to the net, not enough, like,
- 7:42Speaker 7: not doing enough to create offense.
- 7:45Speaker 6: I think if you listen to the game, Ryker and
- 7:48Speaker 6: I calling the game, or you listen to Connor, I'm
- 7:49Speaker 6: sure he was expressing the same things, that we said
- 7:53Speaker 6: all of that throughout the course of the game.
- 7:55Speaker 5: I mean, there was... For the.
- 7:58Speaker 6: First 28 minutes, I mean, you had nobody around their
- 8:02Speaker 6: net even, right? You're not getting guys to the front
- 8:05Speaker 6: of the net and pounding the puck in there and
- 8:06Speaker 6: letting guys go to work. Guys didn't want to go
- 8:09Speaker 6: to work, or guys weren't going to work, and you're
- 8:12Speaker 6: hoping that things happen for you rather than making them
- 8:15Speaker 6: happen for you.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Can I pause? You know what I think is really cool?
- 8:19Speaker 5: The fact that you're wearing a mock turtleneck, you look
- 8:22Speaker 5: like an idiot.
- 8:22Speaker 1: This is not a mock turtleneck, just a big t-shirt.
- 8:27Speaker 4: It looks like I'm doing the show with Steve Jobs.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Pencil neck.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I was going to compliment you.
- 8:37Speaker 5: I take it all back.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Here's what I think is really cool. Tell me if
- 8:42Speaker 1: you guys out there think it's cool. I'm not in
- 8:45Speaker 1: Denver right now.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Wonderful office space. That looks beautiful.
- 8:51Speaker 1: The fact that I can turn on my television. or
- 8:55Speaker 1: turn on a laptop or phone, go to ESPN Plus,
- 8:59Speaker 1: where the game was found last night, and the Altitude
- 9:02Speaker 1: broadcast was on ESPN Plus. And the fact that you
- 9:05Speaker 1: guys were on, and the intermission shows with Kyle and
- 9:09Speaker 1: JML were on, so I got the entire Altitude package
- 9:13Speaker 1: on my ESPN Plus last night. That's pretty rad. I
- 9:15Speaker 1: just thought that was cool. I thought that was really cool.
- 9:18Speaker 4: To be fair, Moshe, you can go back to insulting him.
- 9:20Speaker 5: That was not a compliment.
- 9:21Speaker 6: No, no, no.
- 9:22Speaker 4: That was not a compliment to you. That was a
- 9:23Speaker 4: compliment to the ESPN Plus platform.
- 9:25Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, Vic. I don't know how insulting
- 9:28Speaker 5: he's going to make this a better segment.
- 9:30Speaker 1: The compliment is I felt like I was in my
- 9:32Speaker 1: warm blanket that my guys were broadcasting the game.
- 9:36Speaker 6: It was just, I mean, you know, Vic, I know
- 9:39Speaker 6: this team so damn well. How did they pick the broadcast, Moshe?
- 9:43Speaker 5: Why is it you guys?
- 9:44Speaker 1: That's not on ESPN Plus and not the Philly people.
- 9:46Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question. Typically, it should be the
- 9:48Speaker 5: home broadcast that they put.
- 9:49Speaker 1: On ESPN +. I know what it is.
- 9:52Speaker 6: Audio-wise, if you go to NHL.com, you can pick either
- 9:56Speaker 6: radio if you want to.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Either one. No, last night they said, we're taking the A-team.
- 10:00Speaker 1: We're taking the altitude crew. We are. They're the best.
- 10:05Speaker 1: And they are. But I thought it was cool that
- 10:07Speaker 1: they carried also the intermission and the postgame show. That
- 10:09Speaker 1: was awesome.
- 10:10Speaker 5: People are asking, here's Jenna, and people are asking.
- 10:14Speaker 1: On the stupid abs feed.
- 10:17Speaker 5: People are asking.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Why are they still playing 11 and 7, 11 forwards
- 10:21Speaker 6: and 7 defensemen? Well, with the injuries they have, and
- 10:26Speaker 6: a couple of them day-to-dayers, and then LOC is eligible
- 10:32Speaker 6: to return on Friday, and I hope that he will.
- 10:35Speaker 6: They don't have the money to call anybody else up.
- 10:37Speaker 6: They don't have the cap space to call another player up.
- 10:40Speaker 6: to make it 12-6. So right now, with the way
- 10:45Speaker 6: the injury factor is, you have to go 11-7 if
- 10:49Speaker 6: you're the Avalanche. You have no choice right now.
- 10:52Speaker 4: Also, who cares?
- 10:53Speaker 6: Just play better. Last night, it doesn't mean jack squat, okay?
- 10:59Speaker 6: You should beat that team all day, all night, twice
- 11:02Speaker 6: on Thursdays. So the thing about Waugh and LaRue is
- 11:05Speaker 6: they're out, but they're not on IR. LOC's on IR.
- 11:10Speaker 6: on long-term IR, but I think Friday's probably looking pretty
- 11:16Speaker 6: good for him after the tragedy in his family and
- 11:19Speaker 6: his body healing up. I think that Friday is a
- 11:22Speaker 6: distinct possibility for Logan O'Connor. So you'll get back to 12-6.
- 11:26Speaker 6: And then when LaRue and Waugh both get healthy, then
- 11:28Speaker 6: you'll have too many. And you'll have to make a
- 11:30Speaker 6: decision then.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Are you guys going to reference how Josh Manson killed
- 11:33Speaker 1: a man last night? Yeah.
- 11:36Speaker 6: So a little Cole Kniebel. His old man played a
- 11:40Speaker 6: million games in this league. He was 6'3, like 205.
- 11:44Speaker 6: And Cole's only 5'10. But he's a different kind of
- 11:48Speaker 6: player than his old man was. And I think he's
- 11:50Speaker 6: going to have a future in this league. But kids
- 11:53Speaker 6: learn pretty quickly when they come into the National Hockey
- 11:56Speaker 6: League that you can't get away with stuff at this
- 11:59Speaker 6: level like you could at other levels because he went
- 12:01Speaker 6: to the top of the crease and Manchin exploded him.
- 12:04Speaker 6: And I'm going to give the kid full credit for
- 12:06Speaker 6: getting up. He's going to be sore today, and he
- 12:08Speaker 6: went back to his bench, and he was fine, and
- 12:10Speaker 6: he continued with the game, but he got blowed up.
- 12:13Speaker 5: B-L-O-W-D, blowed.
- 12:16Speaker 4: It's Manson.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Or B-L-O-A-D, blowed. He got blowed up.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Manson is somebody that I don't know how many other
- 12:27Speaker 4: guys in the league, when you see him, if you
- 12:30Speaker 4: saw him bearing down, getting ready to hit you, who's
- 12:33Speaker 4: in the category of Manson for most feared on that hit?
- 12:37Speaker 5: Well, it depends. Manson will do it consistently. Nikita Zdorov.
- 12:41Speaker 5: You remember Nikita Zdorov?
- 12:44Speaker 4: He just wouldn't do it enough.
- 12:45Speaker 5: Yeah, that's his thing.
- 12:47Speaker 6: Jared Bednar used to say to me, he can't be
- 12:50Speaker 6: a gentle giant out there. Because when he wanted to
- 12:53Speaker 6: do it, or when he wants to do it, and
- 12:54Speaker 6: he still does, he'll blow guys up.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Who's the former Ranger that blew up Blandy that time?
- 13:03Speaker 5: Jacob Truba?
- 13:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Yeah, he's in.
- 13:07Speaker 6: He's in Utah now. But I saw Sidoroff one time
- 13:13Speaker 6: in Winnipeg blow up two huge guys in Mark Scheifele
- 13:16Speaker 6: and the time Blake Wheeler. They're talking six, three, six,
- 13:19Speaker 6: four guys that are over 200 pounds. And he sent
- 13:23Speaker 6: them in airborne over tea kettle. And I'm like, that's
- 13:26Speaker 6: a guy when you go on the ice, if he's
- 13:28Speaker 6: doing that, you better check the numbers and see if
- 13:31Speaker 6: 16 is out there. And Manson is that kind of guy.
- 13:34Speaker 6: Because his hitting is superb. And Cale laid a great
- 13:37Speaker 6: hit last night. Cale's a way better hitter than people
- 13:39Speaker 6: give him credit for.
- 13:40Speaker 5: Maybe no.
- 13:41Speaker 6: So you have that aspect of your game. But last night,
- 13:43Speaker 6: they were stubborn, sluggish. Like Coach said, stubborn, sluggish, and sloppy.
- 13:49Speaker 6: That's what they were.
- 13:50Speaker 5: Three S's. The three S's? Three S's.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Moj, now that I gave you a hearty compliment about
- 13:58Speaker 1: being able to watch your broadcast, do you wish to
- 14:00Speaker 1: remove the Horrible thing you said about me earlier.
- 14:05Speaker 6: Your neck looks just really skinny. It just looks like
- 14:08Speaker 6: a twig sticking out of a piece of bark. I
- 14:11Speaker 6: don't know what to say.
- 14:12Speaker 5: Brett, help me out here.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Do you wish to retract the nasty stuff you said
- 14:17Speaker 1: about me earlier? I wish to retract it.
- 14:21Speaker 4: I have a question for you, Vic. Why don't the
- 14:25Speaker 4: new iPhone chargers fit my old iPhones?
- 14:32Speaker 1: Because I want to make the money, that's why.
- 14:35Speaker 5: I have a question for you, Vic, as we get
- 14:37Speaker 5: to break here. I have a question for you. How
- 14:39Speaker 5: does a cell phone work?
- 14:40Speaker 4: Mojere, Kane, and Tim Apple?
- 14:43Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:43Speaker 5: All right. Engineers, get to work!
- 14:53Speaker 6: Seriously, in the night clock hour, he's going to pull
- 14:56Speaker 6: out a new MacBook and start describing the features.
- 14:59Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 15:00Speaker 4: In the revolutionary world of computers.
- 15:04Speaker 5: All right.
- 15:04Speaker 4: The Avs continue their early East Coast swing against the
- 15:07Speaker 4: Devils this afternoon. Pre-game powered by Ramos Law at 430
- 15:09Speaker 4: with Birdo and then Connor. It's going shortly after 5.
- 15:13Speaker 4: Avs on your drive home. What could be better? It's
- 15:15Speaker 4: right here at 92.5.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Real quick positive.
- 15:18Speaker 1: T.J.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Hughes scored his second goal. Yes, he did. He's now
- 15:20Speaker 5: got goals in back-to-back games.
- 15:22Speaker 4: Good for him.
- 15:23Speaker 5: I think we got ourselves a player.
- 15:25Speaker 4: So we'll get back to this in a little bit.
- 15:27Speaker 1: G5 player.
- 15:30Speaker 4: I know you were doing the game last night, Mose.
- 15:32Speaker 4: You probably didn't see this, but I was watching Monday
- 15:33Speaker 4: Night Football, and two things really hit me in watching this.
- 15:37Speaker 4: One that has to do with San Francisco. One that
- 15:39Speaker 4: has to do with Washington.
- 15:41Speaker 5: That's funny because they both played.
- 15:43Speaker 4: But it's why San Francisco is awesome, and it's why
- 15:47Speaker 4: Washington is terrible. We'll get to it next.
- 15:49Speaker 8: Niners have put three defensive backs on the goal line,
- 15:52Speaker 8: third and 22, 40 of San Francisco. Final play here
- 15:56Speaker 8: in the gun, Daniels. Shotgun snap. Three-man rush. Daniels pressured.
- 16:03Speaker 6: Hit.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Sacked.
- 16:04Speaker 5: It's over.
- 16:05Speaker 8: San Francisco remains undefeated.
- 16:07Speaker 4: All right, so here's what happened.
- 16:10Speaker 5: I'm watching the ads.
- 16:10Speaker 4: I'm watching Monday Night Football last night. And two things
- 16:14Speaker 4: stuck out to me. Number one is that I really
- 16:20Speaker 4: think the goal, and you've said this before, Vic, but
- 16:23Speaker 4: it's true. The goal for Bo Nix should be, be
- 16:26Speaker 4: Barack Purdy. Be that guy.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Just be him.
- 16:30Speaker 4: Nobody's ever going to mistake Brock Purdy for a top
- 16:32Speaker 4: five quarterback in this league. Kind of went through this
- 16:35Speaker 4: exercise in the appetizer. How many quarterbacks' names, if I
- 16:37Speaker 4: said you can have this guy or Brock Purdy, how
- 16:40Speaker 4: many names would you go through before you got to
- 16:41Speaker 4: Brock Purdy? Would it be 10?
- 16:45Speaker 6: 10?
- 16:45Speaker 1: 11?
- 16:45Speaker 5: I don't know if it's 10. 8? 9?
- 16:46Speaker 4: Something?
- 16:46Speaker 6: My point is, it's not 5. Well, I can tell
- 16:56Speaker 6: you six weeks ago, if you asked Brock Purdy or
- 16:58Speaker 6: Justin Herbert, I would be all over Herbert. I can
- 17:00Speaker 6: tell you right now, I ain't touching frigging Justin Herbert.
- 17:04Speaker 6: Brock Purdy, dude, the guy's a player, man. I mean,
- 17:09Speaker 6: he's just an incredibly efficient dude, even if he's not
- 17:12Speaker 6: the most athletic and best arm in the world.
- 17:14Speaker 4: No, but this is the thing. Brock Purdy is a
- 17:17Speaker 4: good quarterback, a very good quarterback, and he just makes
- 17:22Speaker 4: the right play. He doesn't do anything spectacular, but he
- 17:25Speaker 4: makes the right play over and over again.
- 17:28Speaker 1: And he plays fearless.
- 17:30Speaker 5: Yes.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Fearlessly. He knows, you know, the one thing I saw
- 17:33Speaker 1: about Brock last night watching that game is the ability,
- 17:37Speaker 1: knowing when, okay, enough's enough, let's jump out of this
- 17:39Speaker 1: pocket and run.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 17:41Speaker 1: He knows when to do that. He has great pocket presence.
- 17:45Speaker 1: It's just great.
- 17:46Speaker 5: You're right.
- 17:46Speaker 1: He doesn't have the strongest arm. You know, he doesn't
- 17:49Speaker 1: have the Josh Allen zip. He can't make that 65-yard
- 17:54Speaker 1: pass on the fly. He doesn't do any of that.
- 17:56Speaker 1: He reminds me a little bit, and I'm not making
- 17:59Speaker 1: this comp based on value. He reminds me a little
- 18:02Speaker 1: bit of Joe Montana, another former Niners quarterback, who is
- 18:07Speaker 1: just very slow heart rate. Slow heart rate. He makes
- 18:11Speaker 1: the right call.
- 18:11Speaker 4: Let me point some things out to you guys.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Moshe, I'm not going to continue this show with you
- 18:15Speaker 1: looking like an idiot. Take those off.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Vic, this is very bright. What do you want me
- 18:21Speaker 5: to do?
- 18:23Speaker 4: Tell me if this sounds familiar.
- 18:24Speaker 5: Then I'm going this route. That's the route you're going
- 18:26Speaker 5: to get now. That's what you get.
- 18:29Speaker 4: Brock Purdy had 29 passing attempts in that game yesterday.
- 18:33Speaker 4: He dumped off 12 of those to his running backs.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey finished the game with nine catches.
- 18:42Speaker 1: R.J.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Harvey finishes the game with nine catches. Here's the difference.
- 18:46Speaker 4: He pushed the ball downfield to Mike Evans multiple times
- 18:48Speaker 4: when he was open. He hit George Kittle downfield multiple
- 18:51Speaker 4: times when he was open. You can dump the ball
- 18:55Speaker 4: off and play that style, but you have to take
- 18:57Speaker 4: shots downfield to keep the defense honest. The Niners.
- 19:01Speaker 5: You know how many.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Rushing yards Christian McCaffrey has through six weeks of the
- 19:04Speaker 4: NFL season?
- 19:05Speaker 8: 350.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:07Speaker 1: It's nothing crazy. He's not tearing it up.
- 19:09Speaker 6: I know.
- 19:09Speaker 4: It's not crazy, but it's enough. Like, they just do
- 19:12Speaker 4: the right things enough to have consistent offense.
- 19:16Speaker 1: You remember the old excuse from San Francisco is, oh, man,
- 19:20Speaker 1: the Niners are winning despite Brock Purdy. They're winning because
- 19:25Speaker 1: of Brock Purdy right now. Because of him.
- 19:27Speaker 4: He is one of the reasons why they're successful. That's
- 19:31Speaker 4: the thing. I'm just watching him like, Bo can do this.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Make him do this. Just hit an open guy 10,
- 19:38Speaker 4: 15 yards over the middle of the field. Hand the
- 19:40Speaker 4: ball off to McCaffrey a few times. Dump it down
- 19:42Speaker 4: if you have to. Take off and run if you
- 19:44Speaker 4: have to. Like, you don't need to be Josh Allen.
- 19:47Speaker 5: You don't have to.
- 19:48Speaker 4: Like, the Broncos could be the Niners. They could be
- 19:50Speaker 4: 6-0 right now and seen as the best team in
- 19:53Speaker 4: the league if their offense just did that stuff, the
- 19:55Speaker 4: little things right. That's all.
- 19:58Speaker 6: By the way, I want to correct something. Trouba is
- 20:01Speaker 6: in San Jose with Darnell Nurse. They went and got
- 20:03Speaker 6: the two veterans on the back end. The Sharks did.
- 20:06Speaker 5: Okay, continue.
- 20:06Speaker 1: You corrected something you said 10 minutes ago.
- 20:09Speaker 6: That's correct because it just popped into my head that
- 20:11Speaker 6: Nurse and Truber are two veterans that the Sharks wouldn't
- 20:15Speaker 6: got because they wanted to stabilize that blue line.
- 20:17Speaker 5: Go ahead.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Here's the other thing. I have been somebody that in
- 20:24Speaker 4: college football I've complained because there's no parameters about who
- 20:28Speaker 4: can make the playoffs and who doesn't. And I just like,
- 20:31Speaker 4: like in the NFL, if you win your division, you
- 20:32Speaker 4: make the playoffs, right? Like the Panthers weren't good last year.
- 20:36Speaker 4: They were 8-9, but they won their division. I would
- 20:39Speaker 4: like to amend that and just say for one year only,
- 20:43Speaker 4: the NFC East gets no playoff teams. No matter what happens.
- 20:47Speaker 4: You don't get any. Nelly told me a stat that
- 20:50Speaker 4: is truly remarkable. The NFC East for two weeks as
- 20:55Speaker 4: a division has not won a football game. And two
- 20:58Speaker 4: teams played against each other.
- 21:01Speaker 5: They tied.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Correct.
- 21:02Speaker 5: They tied.
- 21:03Speaker 4: They haven't won a football game for two weeks. An
- 21:04Speaker 4: entire division. And I watched the Commanders, who came back
- 21:08Speaker 4: and made it a game. That game felt over. To
- 21:10Speaker 4: their credit, they came back and made it a game.
- 21:13Speaker 4: But when I watched Jaden Daniels roll out to his right,
- 21:16Speaker 4: this is a week after he laid down with nine
- 21:19Speaker 4: seconds left when they could have kicked the field goal
- 21:21Speaker 4: to win the game. Rolled to his right on fourth down,
- 21:24Speaker 4: down six points, in plus territory. and throw a ball
- 21:29Speaker 4: out of bounds.
- 21:29Speaker 5: I know, I saw it.
- 21:31Speaker 4: And then they cut to the sideline and Dan Quinn goes,
- 21:34Speaker 4: field goal, field goal. And then he goes, wait, that
- 21:37Speaker 4: was fourth down? You could read his lips. And then
- 21:41Speaker 4: he gets to the podium and lies to me afterwards.
- 21:43Speaker 1: No, I definitely knew it was fourth down.
- 21:44Speaker 2: We were going for it and I was, I think
- 21:46Speaker 2: whatever you're referring to, I was probably saying like, with
- 21:48Speaker 2: the illegal shift, there's not a penalty to go for
- 21:50Speaker 2: a field goal. Like, it doesn't go, like, it's the
- 21:53Speaker 2: turn on downs.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Straight up lie. If you guys watch the video, he
- 21:57Speaker 4: said field goal three different times, and then he goes, what?
- 22:00Speaker 4: That was fourth down, is what he said.
- 22:02Speaker 6: So they've mismanaged, so what you're telling me now, for
- 22:04Speaker 6: two weeks in a row, they've completely mismanaged the end
- 22:07Speaker 6: of their game, the possession at the end of their game.
- 22:09Speaker 4: That's unforgivable. That is, to me, grounds for being fired
- 22:14Speaker 4: on the spot.
- 22:15Speaker 6: So wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you're telling
- 22:17Speaker 6: me the quarterback on fourth down rolls to his right...
- 22:21Speaker 6: Because I'm doing a game last night.
- 22:22Speaker 4: Moj, he threw the ball in the stands.
- 22:25Speaker 5: On fourth down.
- 22:26Speaker 4: On fourth down.
- 22:26Speaker 5: And three. Wait, fourth down and three, he throws the
- 22:30Speaker 5: ball away.
- 22:31Speaker 4: And keep in mind, Moj.
- 22:32Speaker 6: That means he had absolutely no clue what the situation was.
- 22:36Speaker 5: That's what that means. It was fourth and three. He
- 22:38Speaker 5: had absolutely no idea.
- 22:40Speaker 4: They're down six. It's fourth and three from the 17-yard
- 22:42Speaker 4: line with two minutes left in the game.
- 22:44Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 22:45Speaker 5: So he had just, let's say it, he had no clue.
- 22:48Speaker 5: Nor his coach. Nor his coach what the situation was. Zero.
- 22:53Speaker 1: And despite all that, they still had a chance to
- 22:55Speaker 1: win the game at the end.
- 22:56Speaker 4: Again, they had another chance, which is another comp that
- 22:59Speaker 4: I'll make over to Bo Nix. Does this sound familiar?
- 23:03Speaker 4: Game's on the line. You're up 13 points. The Niners
- 23:07Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter, three and out, followed by a
- 23:10Speaker 4: touchdown from Washington to make it a six-point game. You
- 23:13Speaker 4: need a big drive now, right? The Niners go three
- 23:16Speaker 4: and out. Then it was the fourth down throw away
- 23:18Speaker 4: for Washington. You need a drive. The Niners go three
- 23:22Speaker 4: and out and give them another shot. Like, there were
- 23:25Speaker 4: so many things that I was like, that's kind of
- 23:27Speaker 4: like what I watch, but not what I watch when
- 23:29Speaker 4: watching San Francisco's offense and Brock Purdy. Three and outs exist.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Dump offs to the running back exist. All of these things.
- 23:37Speaker 4: But he'll make the throws over the middle. Or as
- 23:39Speaker 4: you said, Vic, he'll take off and run when they
- 23:42Speaker 4: have to.
- 23:43Speaker 1: No, the more I watch Brock Purdy, the more impressed
- 23:46Speaker 1: I am. We all know the story about being Mr. Irrelevant.
- 23:49Speaker 1: We know all that. He came from nowhere. Nobody expected
- 23:52Speaker 1: him to be who he is today. San Francisco already
- 23:54Speaker 1: had quarterbacks picked ahead of him. He saved them. He
- 23:57Speaker 1: rescued them. I can honestly tell you that Brock Purdy
- 24:01Speaker 1: rescued that entire staff, administration, front office, everybody in San Francisco.
- 24:07Speaker 5: No question.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Do you remember how much they gave up to go
- 24:09Speaker 1: up and get Trey Lance?
- 24:11Speaker 4: It was three first-round picks. Nobody survives a mistake like that.
- 24:14Speaker 1: They survived it because of Brock Purdy.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yep. And to watch him play, again, nothing crazy. Does
- 24:24Speaker 1: he have the strongest arm? No. I'd say he has
- 24:27Speaker 1: a below-average arm. Is he the fastest guy? No.
- 24:31Speaker 7: No.
- 24:32Speaker 1: No, Bo's faster than Brock Purdy. Bo's more athletic than
- 24:35Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, correct?
- 24:36Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Bo's bigger than Brock Purdy.
- 24:38Speaker 4: Brock's pretty athletic.
- 24:39Speaker 1: But I think Bo's more athletic is what I'm saying.
- 24:42Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 24:44Speaker 4: I haven't seen him run this year.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Couldn't tell you. But his heart rate, his pulse in
- 24:48Speaker 1: the pocket, it's just.
- 24:50Speaker 5: It's calm.
- 24:51Speaker 1: It's like that.
- 24:52Speaker 4: Calm.
- 24:54Speaker 6: You were asking who I'd take over Brock Purdy. I
- 24:57Speaker 6: guess I'd still take Stafford, Josh Allen.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Burrow, Lawrence, Mahomes. I don't... And then it starts to
- 25:10Speaker 5: get pretty... I would take Lawrence. Then after that... Lamar?
- 25:13Speaker 1: I wouldn't take Lawrence.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Caleb Williams?
- 25:18Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence right now is throwing 14 touches and 4
- 25:21Speaker 6: picks for 1,500 yards.
- 25:23Speaker 5: He's pretty good.
- 25:24Speaker 4: He's doing some MVP stuff.
- 25:28Speaker 6: And then I'm not a Stroud believer entirely. You know,
- 25:32Speaker 6: I like to watch Jordan Love throw the football. I
- 25:34Speaker 6: need to see more. Drake May's got to be right there.
- 25:37Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, man. He's not some sort of
- 25:40Speaker 4: bona fide top five quarterback. He's like somewhere around 10,
- 25:43Speaker 4: give or take a couple either way. But that's what
- 25:49Speaker 4: they need as a team. That's what they need. And
- 25:53Speaker 4: if the Broncos get that, as you said yesterday when
- 25:56Speaker 4: we were talking to Ryan Harris, Vic, you're like, this offense,
- 25:59Speaker 4: what they're currently doing, that will not win a Super Bowl.
- 26:02Speaker 4: And I agree with you. That is not good enough
- 26:04Speaker 4: at all. But just make the right play. That's all
- 26:10Speaker 4: that needs to happen. The right play.
- 26:12Speaker 5: That's it.
- 26:15Speaker 4: Did you guys see Nick Sirianni?
- 26:17Speaker 1: I'm trying to adjust my light.
- 26:18Speaker 5: You're fine.
- 26:19Speaker 1: Okay.
- 26:20Speaker 4: Did you guys see Nick Sirianni's press conference yesterday?
- 26:22Speaker 6: No.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I know that he was attacked from all angles based
- 26:27Speaker 1: on the status of his quarterback. But I think it's
- 26:30Speaker 1: unfair for the football team. That's not a Nick Sirianni decision,
- 26:33Speaker 1: by the way. He's the coach. And they throw the
- 26:35Speaker 1: coach up there to answer medical questions. I don't think
- 26:39Speaker 1: that's fair.
- 26:40Speaker 4: So, you know my feelings towards Sirianni.
- 26:43Speaker 5: I know, you don't like him.
- 26:44Speaker 1: But I mean, why is he the one up there
- 26:45Speaker 1: making those decisions?
- 26:47Speaker 4: You're exactly right. I feel bad for him. He should
- 26:50Speaker 4: not be the one answering these questions. Because here's the
- 26:52Speaker 4: weird thing. We got the report yesterday. I think it
- 26:54Speaker 4: was Tom Pelissero who had this. Jalen Hurts was told
- 26:58Speaker 4: because of his blood clots, don't sleep. He was up
- 27:01Speaker 4: for 36 hours. And then he played a football game.
- 27:04Speaker 4: And we're all like, if the man can't safely sleep,
- 27:09Speaker 4: what is he doing in a football game? And then
- 27:12Speaker 4: there's other questions about, should you fly when you have
- 27:16Speaker 4: blood clot issues? So Sirianni is answering all of these
- 27:20Speaker 4: like he's the medical expert, and this happened.
- 27:23Speaker 2: Were you briefed by the medical team before you did
- 27:26Speaker 2: this press conference on why he was permitted to fly
- 27:29Speaker 2: despite the blood clot?
- 27:30Speaker 9: Yeah, guys, I talked to them a lot. Can you
- 27:33Speaker 9: give us the information?
- 27:35Speaker 1: I talked to the guys.
- 27:37Speaker 2: As a spokesman of the team, we're just hoping you
- 27:38Speaker 2: give us some information for the public.
- 27:41Speaker 8: Thank you.
- 27:43Speaker 9: Guys, I've addressed this. I've talked to you guys about this. Again,
- 27:47Speaker 9: the medical experts are there, and I think I've answered
- 27:52Speaker 9: this question multiple times. We put out a statement for
- 27:55Speaker 9: you guys to hear, put out multiple statements for you
- 27:58Speaker 9: guys to hear, and I told you guys that last
- 28:02Speaker 9: week that I was going to leave it at that
- 28:05Speaker 9: of where we were on that because we put out
- 28:07Speaker 9: a detailed statement for you guys to hear and to understand.
- 28:11Speaker 4: So what is the reporter trying to do to Sirianni here?
- 28:13Speaker 4: He's like, I don't have these answers for you, bro.
- 28:16Speaker 4: I listen to other people.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, at some point, my brethren are brethren
- 28:24Speaker 1: in this business. I understand getting to the story. I
- 28:27Speaker 1: understand the investigation. But you should have enough knowledge as
- 28:32Speaker 1: a writer, a beat writer, whoever asked that question. You
- 28:35Speaker 1: should know enough that a coach in that situation is
- 28:38Speaker 1: isn't making the health calls necessarily. He's not overriding the trainer,
- 28:43Speaker 1: the GM. He's not overriding the entire franchise saying, my
- 28:46Speaker 1: guy's playing, I don't care. This is not 1940, okay?
- 28:50Speaker 6: That's not the way it works. Yeah, this is can
- 28:53Speaker 6: he play or can he not play? Just tell me. Exactly.
- 28:57Speaker 1: So to sit there and assault a coach's senses like
- 29:01Speaker 1: he's the reason, you're the spokesperson, answer it. What if
- 29:04Speaker 1: he can't? I find that unfair.
- 29:08Speaker 4: It feels like you're yelling. You know when somebody goes
- 29:13Speaker 4: to complain about something, and they get on the phone
- 29:16Speaker 4: with some 18-year-old customer service rep, and they're just letting
- 29:19Speaker 4: that person hear it. It's like, I'm not Tim Apple.
- 29:22Speaker 4: I don't know why you're yelling at me like this. Okay,
- 29:25Speaker 4: I'm sorry your iPhone isn't working. I'm just the customer
- 29:29Speaker 4: service person. I can contact you. You want me to
- 29:32Speaker 4: transfer your call to somebody?
- 29:33Speaker 5: I can do that.
- 29:34Speaker 4: Why are you yelling at me?
- 29:36Speaker 5: Well, you know what it is.
- 29:36Speaker 1: It's the old, you're on the phone with customer service.
- 29:38Speaker 1: I want to speak to your supervisor. Right now.
- 29:41Speaker 5: When you know you're not getting anywhere.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Yeah. Give me your supervisor now.
- 29:46Speaker 5: Okay.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Going to say the same thing. Exactly. You're on hold
- 29:49Speaker 1: for 17 minutes.
- 29:50Speaker 6: That's where you're lucky to get a live human being
- 29:53Speaker 6: that's not like. You know, those AIs that talk to
- 29:58Speaker 6: you like they're a real person.
- 29:59Speaker 4: And I'm like, you're not.
- 30:01Speaker 6: A real person. Or it's the press one. If you
- 30:04Speaker 6: know your party's extension, enter it now. Otherwise, listen to
- 30:07Speaker 6: the following option. I'm like, Jesus, God.
- 30:10Speaker 4: I actually think I've been insulted. Like, I insulted the
- 30:14Speaker 4: artificial intelligence of artificial intelligence because I tried to cancel
- 30:17Speaker 4: something through the phone once. They said I had to
- 30:19Speaker 4: call to cancel. I go, all right, fine. It's a
- 30:21Speaker 4: step I didn't. You know what it was? Something I
- 30:24Speaker 4: had to do at Best Buy, I had to get
- 30:26Speaker 4: this membership for something to return this thing. I don't
- 30:28Speaker 4: know what it was. It was a year ago, but
- 30:29Speaker 4: I didn't want to be charged again. It was at
- 30:31Speaker 4: Best Buy that's right next to this radio station, right?
- 30:33Speaker 4: So I just go, I'll drive over there. It's a
- 30:35Speaker 4: two-minute drive. Walk up to the counter, and I go,
- 30:37Speaker 4: can I cancel my membership? They said, yeah, you're going
- 30:40Speaker 4: to have to do that on the phone. And I'm
- 30:41Speaker 4: just sitting there, I'm like, I'm in the store. I'm
- 30:44Speaker 4: in the store. You have a computer in front of you.
- 30:46Speaker 4: I'm sure my info's on there. Just cancel it.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Hey, next time you're at the airlines, next time you're
- 30:51Speaker 1: at the airports, hey, I need to change my check
- 30:54Speaker 1: baggage to something else.
- 30:56Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
- 30:57Speaker 1: You got to do that on the customer service line.
- 30:59Speaker 1: But I'm right here. It doesn't matter. You have to call.
- 31:02Speaker 4: And that's the thing.
- 31:02Speaker 1: I'm right here in front of you. Here I am.
- 31:04Speaker 4: I didn't yell at the person behind the counter because
- 31:06Speaker 4: it wasn't their fault. In my head, I'm going, what
- 31:08Speaker 4: do you mean you can't do it? But what came
- 31:11Speaker 4: out was, really, there's nothing you can do here? And
- 31:14Speaker 4: they said, no. And I was like, okay, I guess
- 31:16Speaker 4: I'll call. And I called and it was the AI thing.
- 31:19Speaker 4: And I just tried to go straight to operator. I
- 31:20Speaker 4: was like, just give me a person.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Operator.
- 31:22Speaker 4: Hey, cutie. Well, I can help you with whatever problems
- 31:26Speaker 4: you need. And I'm like, I don't want to talk
- 31:28Speaker 4: to a robot. I just want to cancel this thing.
- 31:30Speaker 4: Does it need to take 20 minutes? That's how they
- 31:34Speaker 4: get me, by the way. I think I've told you
- 31:35Speaker 4: guys this. Do you guys know I had a Planet
- 31:37Speaker 4: Fitness membership in Omaha before I moved here?
- 31:40Speaker 1: Looks like you used it. I.
- 31:43Speaker 5: Sure.
- 31:43Speaker 4: I called to cancel. They told me I have to
- 31:47Speaker 4: cancel in the store that I signed up at. I go,
- 31:49Speaker 4: I don't live there anymore. And so I had to
- 31:53Speaker 4: go through a number of different steps through the phone
- 31:56Speaker 4: to do it. I kept my membership for a year
- 31:58Speaker 4: because I didn't want to have the 30-minute phone call.
- 32:01Speaker 1: He's arguing with the robots!
- 32:03Speaker 4: To not have a conversation. That's what I did.
- 32:06Speaker 5: That's how they get you.
- 32:07Speaker 1: Exactly right.
- 32:08Speaker 4: And they do get me all the time on that.
- 32:10Speaker 5: That's how they get you.
- 32:12Speaker 1: So... Nick Sirianni should have gone up there and said
- 32:16Speaker 1: to those questions, here, ask the question real quick, Nelly. Nelly,
- 32:18Speaker 1: ask the question and stop after the question, please.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Were you briefed by the medical team before you did
- 32:26Speaker 2: this press conference on why he was permitted to fly?
- 32:28Speaker 1: Press 4 for more information on that.
- 32:32Speaker 5: All right.
- 32:34Speaker 6: 303-504-0925.
- 32:37Speaker 4: Ten bucks usually doesn't get you much anymore, but on Tuesdays,
- 32:40Speaker 4: any large pizza from Papa Murphy's. It's a $ 10 Tuesday.
- 32:42Speaker 4: Order at PapaMurphy's.com. Pick it up and bake it fresh
- 32:45Speaker 4: at home back after this.
- 32:47Speaker 6: I got my $ 10 pizza last week, and I wish
- 32:49Speaker 6: I had one now.
- 32:50Speaker 7: Cool.
- 32:50Speaker 5: All right.
- 32:51Speaker 4: I got a problem here. Vic in our group text
- 32:58Speaker 4: has just sent a video. If you haven't seen it,
- 33:01Speaker 4: it's this BYU fan who is at the BYU game
- 33:06Speaker 4: while mouthing the words to a Justin Bieber song. And
- 33:11Speaker 4: it looks very cringe. And I have two reactions to this.
- 33:13Speaker 4: Number one is that that person looks exactly like Kyle Keefe.
- 33:16Speaker 5: He does?
- 33:19Speaker 4: Tell me that doesn't look like Kyle Keefe.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Well, Kyle has more hair.
- 33:22Speaker 4: No, this guy is bald. Think of a bald Kyle
- 33:25Speaker 4: Keefe and tell me that doesn't look like Kyle Keefe.
- 33:28Speaker 1: You're sort of right.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Thank you.
- 33:31Speaker 1: I think it looks more like Mark Cuban.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Yeah, like a Keith Cuban baby. The other thing is,
- 33:39Speaker 4: Vic says, if I catch any of you guys doing this,
- 33:42Speaker 4: we fight. Vic, there's one person on the show that
- 33:44Speaker 4: would ever make a video like that.
- 33:46Speaker 1: And it's you. As I was typing that out. You're
- 33:49Speaker 1: the only one that would do it. You're so right.
- 33:51Speaker 1: As I was typing that out to the group chat,
- 33:53Speaker 1: I said to myself, wait a minute. Brett would never
- 33:56Speaker 1: do this. He would never. Mosher wouldn't know how to
- 34:00Speaker 1: do it, so technically he wouldn't do it. And Nelly
- 34:03Speaker 1: does that kind of stuff for his profession on the side.
- 34:05Speaker 1: He's in a band. So I'm the only guy who
- 34:08Speaker 1: would do something as cringe as that. You're right. So
- 34:11Speaker 1: maybe it's just a reminder I sent to you guys
- 34:14Speaker 1: to remind me, never do anything that stupid because it
- 34:17Speaker 1: is cringe-worthy.
- 34:18Speaker 4: You're texting yourself is what you're doing.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Can we show them now what I'm referring to?
- 34:23Speaker 4: Well, Nelly, if you want to pull it up behind me,
- 34:25Speaker 4: you can.
- 34:26Speaker 1: Just play it because when I see it. Let me
- 34:29Speaker 1: ask you guys this. Here is where we are in
- 34:31Speaker 1: this world. Okay, so if it's not this man doing
- 34:36Speaker 1: this video, let's say it's a hottie. Is it a
- 34:39Speaker 1: different look? Is it a different appeal? Is it a
- 34:42Speaker 1: different reaction? If this is a hottie.
- 34:45Speaker 5: Doing this video. Let me say this.
- 34:48Speaker 6: I don't know, but I can tell you what you
- 34:52Speaker 6: sent is very unappealing. Okay, so if there's anything, I guess,
- 34:57Speaker 6: slightly better than that, then I'll have to take it.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Tell me that's not bald cow deep. How is that
- 35:03Speaker 4: not bald Kyle Keefe?
- 35:05Speaker 5: Number one.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Okay, before you run it, I just want to express this. No, no, no,
- 35:11Speaker 1: but stop, stop.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Because you asked a question. You go, if it's a hottie,
- 35:15Speaker 4: is it different? Vic, I don't know. The guy who
- 35:19Speaker 4: picks up my garbage, pretty unappealing. Hottie, probably more appealing.
- 35:24Speaker 1: But when it comes to these videos, though, these videos,
- 35:27Speaker 1: like every time I see a video and I say
- 35:29Speaker 1: to myself, God, I should do that. But then I
- 35:31Speaker 1: think twice and I go, Wait a minute. If I
- 35:33Speaker 1: did that, I'd catch heat for it. That's cringe.
- 35:37Speaker 4: You during the break eating a banana.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Unappealing.
- 35:40Speaker 4: How are you doing it? Much different.
- 35:41Speaker 1: All right. Now, I want you to picture.
- 35:43Speaker 5: I want you to picture.
- 35:44Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I want you to picture Sweeney.
- 35:47Speaker 5: All right.
- 35:47Speaker 1: I want you to picture Sidney Sweeney. Is that her name?
- 35:50Speaker 5: Yes.
- 35:51Speaker 1: Picture Sidney Sweeney instead of him.
- 35:54Speaker 4: She does what she wants, Vic.
- 35:57Speaker 1: All right, now run it with the music. Just run it.
- 36:00Speaker 4: We might run into copyright things here. Yeah, I don't
- 36:02Speaker 4: know if we can.
- 36:02Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:04Speaker 1: I can play it on the airwaves. It's just not
- 36:05Speaker 1: Twitch and YouTube and whatnot.
- 36:07Speaker 4: It's a guy who's doing a video. He's walking down
- 36:09Speaker 4: the stadium stairs, and he's showing the crowd, and he's
- 36:12Speaker 4: singing Justin Bieber. It's very cringe. It's very awful. And
- 36:16Speaker 4: then he pans at the last second around to show
- 36:19Speaker 4: the stadium. And all I thought to myself is, Vic said,
- 36:22Speaker 4: if any of you guys do this, we're fighting. And
- 36:23Speaker 4: Vic's the only one that would ever do it.
- 36:25Speaker 5: That's it.
- 36:26Speaker 4: Vic will do this in a Costco. I've witnessed it.
- 36:30Speaker 4: I saw you dancing in.
- 36:31Speaker 5: A Costco before.
- 36:31Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that I just outed myself on a group text.
- 36:35Speaker 1: But I'm the only guy on this show that would
- 36:37Speaker 1: do something like that. And it's absolutely cringeworthy. So, I'm
- 36:41Speaker 1: here to remind myself, Vic, don't do that.
- 36:46Speaker 5: Well, let me say this.
- 36:48Speaker 6: I hereby, on this date, October 20th, 2026... If you
- 36:57Speaker 6: ever catch me dancing in a Costco on video, I
- 37:01Speaker 6: authorize you to beat the living crap out of me.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Okay, one thing about this video that I would never do,
- 37:07Speaker 1: but Mosher does, he's got a flavor saver.
- 37:10Speaker 5: He's got it.
- 37:11Speaker 1: That's true.
- 37:12Speaker 5: He does have that.
- 37:13Speaker 1: Who's the only guy on this show that continuously grows
- 37:17Speaker 1: his back only to be accosted into shaving it?
- 37:21Speaker 4: You see how ridiculous that looks, though, Mosher?
- 37:23Speaker 5: See that? Well, if I look like that, I might
- 37:26Speaker 5: as well just jump out this window.
- 37:28Speaker 6: Oh, you look worse, Moshe. Moshe, you look worse than that.
- 37:32Speaker 6: You're putting me in a mood today. I'm just telling you.
- 37:35Speaker 4: It's a very rude thing to say about Kyle Keith.
- 37:38Speaker 1: I just insulted myself saying I'm the dumbest. I'm the
- 37:41Speaker 1: most cringe-worthy guy when it comes to these videos. I'm cringe.
- 37:45Speaker 1: All I'm doing is reminding you, your little hair routine
- 37:48Speaker 1: on the bottom of your lip is the worst thing
- 37:50Speaker 1: I've ever seen.
- 37:52Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it ain't there right now, bro.
- 37:54Speaker 1: But you occasionally grow it, and you get into these moods.
- 37:57Speaker 5: Where you grow it.
- 37:58Speaker 4: Nelly, I need this guy away from me.
- 38:00Speaker 5: I need him away.
- 38:00Speaker 4: It's way too close to me. Way too close. I
- 38:04Speaker 4: feel like this pressure.
- 38:05Speaker 5: On my shoulder. It's like breath on the back of
- 38:08Speaker 5: your neck. Yes, exactly. That's what it is.
- 38:10Speaker 4: It's like somebody's just way too close to me in line.
- 38:12Speaker 6: Anyway.
- 38:12Speaker 1: I'm just going to leave this guy just open in
- 38:15Speaker 1: his mouth with the guy sticking out his tongue behind
- 38:18Speaker 1: you just the entire show.
- 38:21Speaker 4: We have a Ray's Brewers World Series, boys. These are
- 38:25Speaker 4: two teams, small market, not your big names. It's something
- 38:29Speaker 4: that I think sports strive to have.
- 38:32Speaker 5: And again, I.
- 38:36Speaker 4: Feel like baseball hates it.
- 38:38Speaker 5: I really do.
- 38:39Speaker 4: I think the league hates it. And it's so dumb
- 38:42Speaker 4: to me. I'll repeat something that we talked about a
- 38:46Speaker 4: while ago. In the American League, the final three teams
- 38:51Speaker 4: that were standing in the American League were the White Sox,
- 38:54Speaker 4: the Guardians, and the Rays, who all ranked 27th, 28th,
- 38:59Speaker 4: and 29th in payroll this year. 27, 28, and 29.
- 39:03Speaker 4: The only team that spent less money on their roster
- 39:06Speaker 4: was the Miami Marlins. They're going to have a lockout
- 39:12Speaker 4: to make sure the money is more equitable across the sport,
- 39:14Speaker 4: that these teams like the Dodgers don't have these massive
- 39:19Speaker 4: tap numbers and these teams are going to be more
- 39:23Speaker 4: equal with them, which would tell you they're trying to
- 39:26Speaker 4: create parity within the sport. Well, sometimes baseball self-corrects. and
- 39:30Speaker 4: they do that. It's for a one-off year. These teams,
- 39:33Speaker 4: you don't.
- 39:33Speaker 6: Expect to stick around forever. That's what it is. I mean,
- 39:37Speaker 6: the Royals won the World Series and then they had
- 39:39Speaker 6: to blow it up, right? Back in the day, the
- 39:41Speaker 6: Marlins won. They had to blow it up. That's what happens.
- 39:43Speaker 6: I mean, just because you spend a boatload of money
- 39:46Speaker 6: doesn't mean that you'll get there and that you'll consistently
- 39:49Speaker 6: get there But the opposite is also true, that you
- 39:53Speaker 6: have to spend if you want to be consistent. Spike
- 39:57Speaker 6: teams can happen all the time, and it does happen.
- 39:59Speaker 4: Here's what's funny to me. I'm watching ESPN this morning,
- 40:04Speaker 4: and they're showing everything. They're showing preseason highlights talking about
- 40:10Speaker 4: which team in the NBA should we look out for most.
- 40:12Speaker 4: They're talking about... Who's going to win the AFC North?
- 40:16Speaker 4: All these different things. And then they show the highlights
- 40:19Speaker 4: of the Rays winning the ALCS and moving on to
- 40:20Speaker 4: the World Series last night. And it looks like a
- 40:23Speaker 4: highlight package from a game in June. And they show
- 40:26Speaker 4: it for 30 seconds. They celebrate. And then it's like, well, anyways,
- 40:30Speaker 4: did you guys see the Houston Texans?
- 40:33Speaker 1: You're so right. If the Dodgers and Yankees were in
- 40:36Speaker 1: the World Series, there would be a completely different marketing
- 40:38Speaker 1: approach to this. And what's sad is that these two teams...
- 40:42Speaker 1: They weren't a fluke that just suddenly burst in the postseason.
- 40:45Speaker 5: They're excellent.
- 40:47Speaker 1: They were the best teams in the regular season.
- 40:49Speaker 5: Yes.
- 40:50Speaker 1: These were teams that carried the torch in the regular season.
- 40:53Speaker 1: They withstood an entire 162-game schedule and then did it
- 40:59Speaker 1: in the postseason. But here we are, and I'm guilty, too.
- 41:02Speaker 5: I'm guilty.
- 41:03Speaker 1: I'm sort of, okay. I'm in that mode. All right.
- 41:10Speaker 4: Does baseball need to have– the star power to appeal you? Like,
- 41:15Speaker 4: when I tell you these are two very, very good
- 41:17Speaker 4: teams facing each other, is that not, I'm not, this
- 41:19Speaker 4: isn't an insult, by the way, I'm just asking. Is
- 41:22Speaker 4: that not enough?
- 41:23Speaker 1: I'll counter by saying the average sports fan would not
- 41:25Speaker 1: be able to identify more than two players on these teams.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Oh, that's one, yeah, totally true.
- 41:30Speaker 5: That's a thousand percent correct.
- 41:31Speaker 1: Totally true, yes.
- 41:32Speaker 4: But whose fault is that?
- 41:34Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, but the average sports fan may
- 41:36Speaker 1: not be able to identify one player on either World
- 41:40Speaker 1: Series team. One.
- 41:42Speaker 5: That's also true.
- 41:43Speaker 4: That's sad.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I would put the number. I would say, all right,
- 41:47Speaker 1: what would you qualify as a sports fan? Someone who,
- 41:49Speaker 1: let's say somebody that listens to Sports Talk Radio. Someone
- 41:52Speaker 1: listening to this show.
- 41:53Speaker 5: Okay.
- 41:53Speaker 7: Sure.
- 41:54Speaker 1: And I'm saying this. I'm saying this. I'm trying to
- 41:56Speaker 1: be objective here. I would say 5% of our audience
- 42:02Speaker 1: can name one player for either team. 5%. Yeah. That's
- 42:10Speaker 1: where I fall.
- 42:13Speaker 4: If you are an average fan, you have to know
- 42:14Speaker 4: the Miz, at least.
- 42:15Speaker 1: And it's not, it's not, it's not, yeah, that's, and that's,
- 42:18Speaker 1: and I put myself in that category. I'm at the Miz.
- 42:21Speaker 1: I'm at the Miz. I don't know who the shortstop
- 42:24Speaker 1: is for Milwaukee. I don't know the left fielder for,
- 42:28Speaker 1: I know Caminera for, I know him because he was
- 42:30Speaker 1: in the home run derby.
- 42:31Speaker 4: Yeah, Caminero.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Caminero, Junior Caminero, I know him.
- 42:36Speaker 6: I know Contreras because he, He hits the ball all
- 42:39Speaker 6: over the yard. He's a catcher who can rock.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Is that a baseball problem or is that a marketing problem?
- 42:46Speaker 1: That's where I'm... I think it's a me problem. I
- 42:49Speaker 1: don't invest my time in the sport like I used to.
- 42:52Speaker 5: I just don't.
- 42:53Speaker 1: That's a me problem. And I just wonder if the
- 42:56Speaker 1: same people out there have that problem. Could be. I'm
- 42:59Speaker 1: not investing any... I'm not watching these games.
- 43:03Speaker 4: Are you going to watch the World Series?
- 43:06Speaker 5: I guess... Am I going to watch it?
- 43:08Speaker 4: Is it like if it's on, you'll watch it?
- 43:10Speaker 1: Okay, I'll give you an example. When does it start?
- 43:13Speaker 4: The 23rd.
- 43:14Speaker 1: If it's opposite a Nuggets or Avs game? No, I
- 43:17Speaker 1: probably won't. I'll watch a Nuggets or Avs game. That's fair.
- 43:20Speaker 1: Let me ask you, Moshe. I mean, opposite.
- 43:23Speaker 6: If there's a Nuggets game on, there's no way I'm
- 43:25Speaker 6: watching it. Well, the Avs play Friday against the host
- 43:28Speaker 6: of Lightning. You're going to watch game one of the
- 43:30Speaker 6: World Series. You're going to watch the Lightning and the Avs.
- 43:33Speaker 5: I will do both.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Now, when you say both, yeah, you'll check in, but
- 43:37Speaker 1: you're not going to watch it that closely. You'll check in.
- 43:41Speaker 4: I'll watch.
- 43:42Speaker 1: Okay, you're a baseball guy. I know.
- 43:43Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
- 43:44Speaker 4: Me, I will, yes. But I agree. Most people are
- 43:48Speaker 4: probably in your guys' camp. How about this? If they're
- 43:51Speaker 4: out at the bar Friday night at a sports bar
- 43:54Speaker 4: or whatever, a bar that's got some TVs and the
- 43:56Speaker 4: game's on, I bet people are like, oh, yeah, World
- 43:58Speaker 4: Series is on. I bet that's the reaction, right?
- 44:01Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you go, I think, probably to either roster,
- 44:05Speaker 6: you'll say, oh, you don't necessarily know the guy, but
- 44:07Speaker 6: I've heard of that guy.
- 44:09Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I know that guy. You know, that kind
- 44:11Speaker 5: of thing.
- 44:11Speaker 6: I don't know his game and that sort of thing,
- 44:13Speaker 6: but you're like, oh, yeah, I've heard of that guy. Oh, yeah,
- 44:15Speaker 6: I know that guy. I mean, that's how it'll be
- 44:18Speaker 6: for you, but it won't be. I mean, I could
- 44:20Speaker 6: give you the Dodgers starting lineup right now and their
- 44:22Speaker 6: entire pitching staff, I guess. And that's sad. That's part
- 44:25Speaker 6: of the problem.
- 44:26Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 44:26Speaker 1: That's sad because that sport used to elicit a completely
- 44:29Speaker 1: different reaction. 3513 says, I played college baseball. I've been
- 44:33Speaker 1: around baseball my whole life. Consider myself a sports fan.
- 44:35Speaker 1: The only player I know is Christian Yelich. Baseball is
- 44:38Speaker 1: a boring product that's been surpassed. It's going the way
- 44:40Speaker 1: of bowling. I would bet good money that baseball will
- 44:43Speaker 1: not be around in 50 years. Boy, that's extreme. That's extreme.
- 44:48Speaker 4: You know what's funny? Baseball is pretty big in other places, though.
- 44:53Speaker 1: It's huge in Latin American countries.
- 44:55Speaker 5: Korea is huge.
- 44:56Speaker 1: It's huge in Asia right now.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Latin American countries is huge. Like, you know what's funny?
- 45:00Speaker 4: I bet you the numbers for the World Series in, like,
- 45:02Speaker 4: the Dominican are through the roof. I have no evidence
- 45:08Speaker 4: to base that off. You know what's funny, though, is
- 45:10Speaker 4: that he says Christian Jelic. Jelic, he's, like, not even
- 45:14Speaker 4: a premier player.
- 45:15Speaker 5: On the Brewers anymore.
- 45:16Speaker 1: He's just a name.
- 45:17Speaker 5: He's not what he used to be.
- 45:19Speaker 1: You're exactly right. Yep.
- 45:21Speaker 4: 303-504-0925. Dan Issel is going to join us at 8.20
- 45:26Speaker 4: this morning. Stick around.
