• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it CAVS one one seventeen one thirteen. They are on
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the verge of advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a showdown with the New York Knicks. Again, as I
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: hate saying this because I know that they're I feel
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: like kind of a jerk when I say it, because
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: there's people in Cleveland right now that are on cloud nine.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just we are one win away from
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals. We are then, you know, five
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: wins away from getting back to the NBA Finals, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: for the first time the post Lebron era.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's awesome.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: But I'm just sitting here saying, can I get to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Spurs thunder? You know, can I can I see the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: real NBA Finals take place in the West. It's terrible
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to say, but I feel like it's the reality of
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: where the league is now.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And that's what we've been waiting for.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Had a great game to wrap up the Avs series
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with a while Colorado wanted four to three, they advance,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and a couple of walk offs in Major League Baseball
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that we'll get into as the show rolls on. The
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Dodge did take the advice of many of our hosts
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know if I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: don't know if Dave Roberts is a big FSR listener
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: or not, but I feel like every single time that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I'm listening and there's a conversation about show, Heyotani, there
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: is then a debate about whether or not he should
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: be hitting when he pitches, which again I know he's
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: struggling right now, but there is this part of me
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, it's okay to just focus on
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: one thing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Well, tonight, Otani.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Seven strong, four hits, eight strikeouts, two walks.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: He didn't hit.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: They used Tai Oscar and by the way, tay Oscar
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: in the DH spot did have a couple hits tonight.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: The Lakers do not hit show Aotani when he pitches, and.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's the right move. I feel like before we get back.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: To the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've kind of buried the lead.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Now the schedule leaks we talked about and we're gonna
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: get the full schedule tomorrow night or later tonight, depending
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: on where you're listening. I don't know how or why
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: all these are either allowed to leak or that they
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: get out. But one of the most I guess you
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: could say hotly debated slash curious questions is who will
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the defending World champions play in the season opener RW.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: You always kind of look at it, and when it
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: was the Chiefs, I remember we've been debating.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's like, gosh, there's like five teams.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe it could be the Texans or the Texas out
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of Shaan Watson ended up being that. And it's a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: good game, but the Seahawks had a lot of options.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: You want the defending champs open at home. It's usually
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a Thursday night game. This year it's a Wednesday night game,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: and they raised the banner. It's quite the scene this year.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: According to Ari mirav the twenty twenty six NFL season
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: will begin with a Super Bowl rematch. Now, I want
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to make sure I give proper credit here because Jordan
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Schultz is a great contributor here on Fox Sports Radio.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You hear Jordan a lot on the Herd with Colin Coward,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and Jordan was actually first on this, so again, good
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: work to him digging it up, finding it out.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But it's not like that was a great game.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: It's not like the Super Bowl was one of these
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: games that we look back or like, man, give me
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that again. And I mean, first of all, you have
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the wildest story in the NFL in years in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: offseason with the Mike Rabel stuff. In years, you we've
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: had a rest We've had guys get in trouble. We've
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: had big trades, but I don't know that we've had
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: anything quite like this. And you're gonna put that on
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the on the national stage right out of the gate.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: There's a part of me that kind of respects it. Guys,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: there's a part of me that respects it, because I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: don't think that you can go to anyone and say, hey,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: don't talk about this, right because they're gonna talk about it. Coop,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: let me ask you. Let me ask you this. Lareena,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I want your take on this too before we get
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Holler and James. If you're who is an NBC that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: has the opener? I believe it's NBC that has the opener.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I mean you're having like the soft light background sit
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: down with Mike Vrabel, right, I mean, you can't you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: can't ignore this. They've I mean there's a party that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: kind of respects the NFL says, oh yeah, you're gonna
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: face this. We're gonna get this out of the open,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna try to watch this as quickly as
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: we can. Right Coop, what do you make of the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Patriots of the Seahawks being the season opener?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I mean I'm intrigued, but i'd be you know, I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: love the NFL, so i'd be.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Intrigued, you know, with whomever.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Uh going to tune in for a dim
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Lintz sit down? Probably not. I'd watch clips online, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: because you know, I imagine if anything interesting was said
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: that it'll be viral. But you know, I'm not going
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to tune in early to watch that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: No, you're not going to tune in early for who's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: going to be the concert?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I don't fallout boy? Is it going to be a
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: reunion of Blink one eighty two? I mean we're in Seattle.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Uh, Lorena should should they do
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the all out Bear his soul sit down interview with
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Mike were able to start the whole broadcast?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, if that's where they want their focus to.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Be, because once it's out, it's out.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly. But you know I kind of that mentality,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: nip it in the butt before you get the season
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: started so the people stop talking about it. So I
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: think it is a good idea. Do I think I
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: would tune into it?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: No?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But like Coop said, I'm sure there will be highlights
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: online and stuff.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe I think this story is kind of lost a
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: little steam too.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Not and again, well, if they have anything more that's
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: good on it, they should have let it out already, right,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, what's both happened now?
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Though Diana's already out, Yeah, she's out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Rabel hasn't lost his job yet, Like, I feel like
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: it's too far along now he's not.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Going to And I mean, who knows the way that
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Stu Gotts talks. I mean, Diana Rascini might be our
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: coworker by the end of the week, who knows. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just it seems kind of
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: ballsy that that would be your first game of the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: season with the narrative that's been going on all off season.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's just hilarious to me.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: According to the different reports that are out there, this
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: is the first time that the NFL has opened the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: season with a Super Bowl rematch since twenty sixteen when
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the Broncos in the Panthers.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Wow, ten years that's cool.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Math ride makes it easy, all right?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: nine ninety six sixty three six nine. I'm just I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: such a nerd that I'm sitting here refreshing, like we're
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: gonna get news tonight. It's like, what's the latest league?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You mean we can't wait ten to twelve hours to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: get that later on this evening. I mean, come on,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: what are we even doing here? But it's NonStop, man.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It's what we live. It's what we live. Uh im.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It checked in by the way, on the X he said,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I don't quite understand the Thanksgiving Eve games in terms
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of how it's gonna work. Are they gonna give both
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: these teams the week off before? Is one of them
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: gonna play on Thursday and the other half of the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: week off. I get the NFL as king and we're
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: gonna watch. But when did it get too much? Or
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: when does it get too much? People are complaining about
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the Thursday night game quality being down and a lot
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of players think they don't get enough rest because of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: the short week.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Well, they've they've got it figured out, you know.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like they've got it figured out as far
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: as the.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Timing is concerned.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But you're right, it's once we see it, and I'm
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: still it's like a twelve year Old'm like, wait minutes,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: they're playing on Thursday? Then they're gonna play again that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: next Monday. You know it's it's ridiculous. But whenever you
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: are committed to playing now a game on Christmas and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you've added Thanksgiving Eve, and your Wednesday games are becoming
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a thing now in the NFL. I mean that opener
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: that I talked about is on a Wednesday night.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: This year for some reason.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: So time schedule release, Man, it always gets the best
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: of us. Did you say, Holler and James was still
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: hanging in there tonight or.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Did he already bail on us?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Might be seping.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Holler and James, welcome to the program. What's going on? Man?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Do you think of Sleepy Coop? The only one sleepy
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Coop is you?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: What's on your mind tonight? Holler and James, thanks for
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: checking in.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: I want to see the Viking schedule. I think the
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Vikings got some promise, and that's because they don't know
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: rule's going to be quarterback. They Harry McCartney's not that good.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Tell me about Tennis. Sent me a McCartney jersey sometime back.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: She also sent me Timberwolves license plate. That's just hollering
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: James with my promise and logo on it and that's
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: interesting excuse, she said, And I was wondering. I love
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: your show, Chris Blank, you gotta SCHOOLI show as Brian
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: No and Ben Muller. You're right right up there with
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: the best then ouncers ever I've ever spoken to. And
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: that's for you. Coop. You're not a bad guy. He's
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: along with me sometime. I'm not done hard to get
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: along with. I'm easy going. Loreina, you were a doll,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: but you get too much credit, and you know that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: One more take, My take is on the Minnesota frost.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: They had a good season, they build out the wild,
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: they had a good season, but they got beat in overtime.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Why doesn't it always happen to Minnesota teams? They can
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: ever get with the hump when they're going, gets tough.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: It seems they're tough, trag get going, and I'm sick
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: of it. I'm a little sports fan, die hard foreign bred,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Suity of Minnesota, born in Minneapolis General Hospital before beginne
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: had a big county. And I have one more take
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: before you let me go, I want to thank you
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: for not letting me use my golden ticket at Coop.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: I still had a golden ticket, but I wanted to
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: go to the Tanny and Montana.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the call.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, I did have to look up
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: with the Montreal or the Minnesota Frost tour, and there
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: was a game. The Minnesota Frost, by the way, just
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: for those that aren't aware, is a team in the PWHL,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the Professional Women's Hockey League. And in my very in
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: depth research to find all the information I can for
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Holler and James phone call, I have learned that the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Minnesota Frost had one of their playoff games that was
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: postponed by the league three hours before the game started
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: due to players safety concerns related to illness. I've never
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: heard of that before. I mean post COVID, I mean,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I guess what we have? Like, uh, what's the hand
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: of iris that we're all supposed to be freaking out
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm so excited about that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: They let the idiots get off the boat. What are
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: we doing?
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Who decided that? Who decided that? Keep them on there?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I don't care if you have to send shipments to
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: them or you know, wait till it runs through the
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: whole boat, leave it on the boat.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Take him back to see you know.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: That's why would you why would you even let it
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: come to land.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Because we're stupid. Because we're stupid, Loraina. That's why that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just answered the question. Now, you guys
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes you know again, I don't get to listen as
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: much as I did back in the day, all right.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I just I'm older now I do a morning show.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Golden ticket that Holler and James got refers to Coop.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: What when did he get it?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He always says he has a golden
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and I pretty much ignored everything he said.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, okay, okay, that's fair enough. Then, sorry, Holler
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and James. I was trying to get more learned up
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: on everything there, but I have failed you. I will
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: say it's funny because he brings up the vikings. Now
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm on a tiptoe and it's some dangerous
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: territory here involving one of the foundational takes of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Ben Mallor Show, because I mean bid Ben likes to
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: use very derogatory terms when it comes to the height
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: of one Kyler Murray. I think Kyler Murray's gonna be
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the comeback player of the Year in the NFL. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: don't think there's any question who's going to be the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It's going to be Kyler Murray.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And I think in Kevin O'Connell's offense, I think he's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: gonna be awesome. Now again there's the there's the disclosures.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I need to fully disclose that I covered Kyler in college.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I think he's he's a good dude. He gets a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: bad rap, but he's got to go play, he's got
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: to go perform. I mean, we're in an era now
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: where the second chance quarterback is the way to go, Right,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Sam Darnald second chance quarterback wins.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The Super Bowl. It's well, look at that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, second chance quarterback taking the Buccaneers.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: By it makes the playoffs this year.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: But he's now established himself as the guy in Tampa
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Bay after bouncing around from Cleveland to Carolina to even
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a stint with the Rams. At one point, second chance
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: guys or kind of you start looking around the league
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and it's like, hey, you know, maybe I can have
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: another opportunity to rescue X, Y and Z guy. I mean,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: if you would have told me from that draft class,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: after the way things went through, his first couple of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: stops that Sam Darnald would be the guy getting.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: A Super Bowl first.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Tell you're crazy, But again, that's the era we live
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: in and we do have coaches. Side note to this,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I love the Twitter feeds, X feeds and the Facebook
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: feeds of the mugshots.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Don't know why. I just can't get enough of them.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And inevitably there's going to be some smoke show and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: underneath it, when she might have got arrested for possession
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: or DUI, there's going to be eight thousand thirsty dudes
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: tweeting or posting things like I can fix her, let
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: me fix her, I'm here for you know, just white
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: knighting like crazy. NFL coaches are a lot the same way,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: especially offensive coaches, when it comes to talented, physically talented quarterbacks,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: and that's what I think Minnesota saw with Kyler Murray.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: He's not the tallest, he hasn't proven to be the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: most durable, but he might just be the most explosive.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: And I don't think there's a question as to who's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: going to be the starting quarterback in Minnesota. I think
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be Kyler Murray, and I think if he
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: stays healthy, I think he's going to be really good.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, did we not just see a report.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That the the Vikings were trying to trade Kevin Kevin.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to trade their coach already.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That they were trying to trade JJ McCarthy before the
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: season started, but this past season, so, I mean, it
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: seems like they're bailing out pretty quick. And you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell might still be there, but the general manager
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: who was in charge of the draft that allowed them
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: to draft JJ McCarthy already out of a job.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: So that's a lot on Minnesota.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: But thanks for the call, Holler and James all right
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 16:37

  Speaker 2: we've seen so far. And I do want to talk
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: some college football. Lane Kiffin has been very outspoken. Well
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that's typical, but Lane Kiffin has been very outspoken about
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the whys behind he left Ole, miss and he took
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: quite the pot shot at the Raps and more specifically Oxford, Mississippi.
• 17:03

• 23:02
  Speaker 2: A big story developed earlier in this hour whenever Holler
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: and James called in and did not know who he
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: thinks the quarterback of the Viking should be. I proudly
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: proclaimed that I think Kyler Murray is your guy, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be good. Where do you stand
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: on JJ McCarthy versus Kyler Murray versus I think Carson
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Wentz might still be there? Heck, I don't know. Maybe
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: that dude I'd never heard of before is there either.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Where do you stand?
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm not a Viking pan How can you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Not be a Viking fan in the heart of Minnesota?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: You don't know?
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: I'm a Panther fan.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: That's right. I'm sorry.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Listen, I drink during the show. I forget things. You're fine,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: But what is what is the vibe around Minnesota?
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: Though?
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You feel it? You know it? Are they do?
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: They?
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: Boy? They liked McCarthy plan.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I know that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 8: I'm Viking fans I work with. It's like, how do
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: you like a guy that played what ten games? I
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: think he has more receptions and touchdowns or more turnovers
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: in touchdowns he has? I went on, am my teammester. Sure,
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: I think he's gonna be a league for you know it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I hope to accept my apology Gunner for mistaking you
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: for a Vikings fan, knowing your.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Die hard to your line of Panther fan nature.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: All right, buddy, but everything good? Are you doing good?
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: You're staying out of trouble?
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm doing good. I'm just ready
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: for nights for Friday's game and winning that game and
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: believe in San Antonio back in Texas. That's all I'm
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: hoping you do.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Hey, gotta thanks for the phone call. I appreciate it.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, in his career in the National Football League,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: has started ten games.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: He's six and four in those starts. Not bad.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Eleven touchdowns, twelve interceptions. He's also fumbled it six times
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: while being sacked twenty seven times. So na, I mean,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you got Justin Jefferson. You got one of the best
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: wide receivers in the game. But yeah, I don't really
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: know if he had to help around him. Sorry about that, Gunner.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: You know that that's on me, all right. I just
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: my mind got absolutely spaced, and I forgot. You're the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: only Carolina Panthers fan that I know in the world.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: You know, Jeff Schwartz lives in Carolina, but he's kind
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: of a cheap.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: He's not kind of he's a Chiefs guy.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I Darry Noka, Darry Noka ESPN, whom
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I work with locally, he's a Carolina fan.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: That's about it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Big Mike Lingard is a Panthers fan.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: How is that possible?
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: My old co worker at Red Robin is a Panthers fan.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Lady, unlimited fries.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's called bottomless. They're bottomless. Bottomless, Oh yes, and

• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Topless fries.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: For a lot of things is topless. But I mean,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I thought bottomless was only for drinks. Is it for
• 26:04

• 26:08

  Speaker 4: servers and now.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need discounts.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: And Big Mike is Mike from Carolina or something that
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: makes no sense whatsoever.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I don't remember the logic behind it. I just I
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: just know for sure he's a Panthers fan boy.
• 26:41

• 29:07
  Speaker 4: me running towards you on camera, trying to pick you
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: up next time you fall. I'm not picking you up.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: You stay on the ground.
• 29:14
  Speaker 9: Next time, I won't kick you up either.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: You didn't fall.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: You missed the chair because you were hammering because you
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: were so drunk.
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: I wasn't that you were. I had about three drinks
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: song Lives. It was so busy. Anyway, Lorena was awesome
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: on stage, singing Sweet Caroline Hotel, California. She was awesome,
• 29:33
  Speaker 9: and she told my jokes with me. She had fun
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: to hang out with. She wrote me a lovely text
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: from the airport said, Mike, thanks to the great weekends.
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: Blah blah blah. My favorite part was Salem. And then
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: she said, but Mike, don't worry. I'm going to always
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: be sappy with you and I'm courting her and Lorena,
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: I can hold that over your head. I could leave
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: that phone number on Instagram at anytime.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: You totally could, and I'm perfectly fine with it.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: And I won't.
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: Of course I wouldn't. But now I know why she's
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: jealous of Sydney Sweeney, because you should see her with Michaelos.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: She was so envious of the wannabe model. There was
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: lots of people hitting on Lorena at the bars. One
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: of my friends, you've done it.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Again, leprechaun, you have accused me of being jealous of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: my as soon to be sister. Like, stop, we're twins.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: We are.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: We have the same smile, the same eyeballs. Like I
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: told her the other day, I was like, girl, I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: pretty sure you are my long lost sister. She's like,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I completely agree. So shout out to my girl model
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: over in Worcester shirt.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. Appreciate it was that enough? I mean,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I think I like Mike. It's just he's a lot,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: It's noticed.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Have you uh, Have you guys had a chance to
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: talk since the meet and greet with Mike or was
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: that the first time?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Did he call in the other day yet?
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I guess, well, yeah, yeah, no, he called in when
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Brian was filling in. He was on hold for like
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: an hour and a half. Brian goes to him and
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: the very first thing he says is I like Chris
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: playing better.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Mike, and then Mike gets upset when
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Brian doesn't go to him that way.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Listen, hold on a second. It's my guy, all right,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that's that's my butt. Brian No has come to Oklahoma.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: We watched the thunder playoff game together way back in
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the day. Don't don't be that's my guy. Stop.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not better than number one. I'm not better and
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: number two. Like you said, LORAINI this.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Is why Michael Lepreton.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: It's kind of funny though, for those that you know
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: don't have to work on the weekends. I last summer
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: did the Friday night show before Adam and Kfig took over.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: And well, well, actually I was. I was fired from
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: the Friday night show. And I was fired because who
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: was it that fired me?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Who was who was producing? She just left Fox Sports
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Radio and.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: They pre yeah, bre fired me. And then after she
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: fired me, you know, there was a little depression, but
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: the Friday night show was It's this is an old reference.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: There was a show called Star Search with Ed McMahon.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe you could call it now the modern day American Idol,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and it was where people would try out acts and
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: they would say if they would move on.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: My Friday night show was kind of like Star Search.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: It was like American Idol for people attempting bits and
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: things for the weekday show to try to get on
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: with Big Bit and Mike was uh. Mike would use
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: this a lot for practicing for the Talent Talent contest,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: tried a lot of voices, a lot of bits, a
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: lot of comedy routines. So I'm a fan of Mike's,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: but I also felt like the Leprechaun was really trying
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: to start some sort of rivalry with Lorena, and I'm
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: not here for that. It's it's not right, Mike, it's
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: not But you sound like you guys got along okay
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: when you were in person, right for the murder part.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: You know, he said something.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Dare he try and blame me for that. I'm gonna
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: post those pictures of him on the ground now, that's
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: what he gets, Mike.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: The Leprechaun story walking around Fox Sports Radio at like
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the middle of the afternoon trying to find Ben a
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago, it's still the funniest thing I
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: think I've ever heard.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: It was like eight months ago. It wasn't even a
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: couple of years ago. No, And I'm I'm on my
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: way to Oregon and my boss calls me and he's like, uh,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: do you know who this man is? And I'm like,
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, what is he doing there in the
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: middle of the day. He got us all in trouble,
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: like they told us not to have guests anymore, and
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: if we do, we need to have everyone in the building. No,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: even though they're not supposed to, no one would be here.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Why I just want to be around in those conversations.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: I would have been those conversations whenever someone is trying
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: to have it explained to them that a guy named
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Mike the Leprechaun is there and he's part of the
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: overnight crew and it's listen, there might be a gunna

• 34:18
  Speaker 2: when he taught hollering, you know, get it?
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: And that's the point though blank we have such an
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: eclectic group of callers, they could be a little intimidating
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: for people who don't engage with them on a daily basis.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Oh it's we're overnights. We have no social skills whatsoever.

  Speaker 1: I wasn't drunk at all. I'd only had a couple
• 34:42

  Speaker 3: last week.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Oh oh okay, okay, all right, see I had, I
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: mean doing a morning show now like this took preparation,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: like not well, I mean, obviously you prepare a show.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: But you know, Lorraine and I were talking their sleep preparation.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: You know, I get done with this show, I get
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: an hour to go eat some waffle house, and then
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I got another show I gotta do. But when this
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: is the gig, when it's one to five am, God's
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: time zone Central time every day, gotta give yourself a break. Ben,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: By the way, question and I think I know the answer, Coop.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: When you're off, when you have your days off, there's
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: no way you keep the same schedule, right.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, I absolutely keep the same schedule. Really yeah, I
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: don't understand how you would change it up.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Because life happens whenever you would usually be sleeping. Like,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: don't you want to live the life the like the
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: nine to five for a little bit and just kind
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: of walk out amongst the daylight and the sunshine and
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: live it's.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Still daylight at two PM.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: All right, Larina, you keep the same hours when you
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: have vac.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.

  Speaker 4: When I I just try to sleep when I can.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna hit the bed and keep going type of girl.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. About on the weekends, I do try to I'll
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: try and sleep overnight as much as possible, because I'll
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: try and get like eight to nine hours straight.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I work.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: I get up every day the alarm goes off at
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: four thirty. The alarm is not going off at four
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: thirty whenever I have a day off. I mean, I
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: kudos to you, Coop. I just I don't know how.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a little bit different. But I don't know.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I mean I can.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're on the Pacific time zone, so it's
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: a little bit different than if you're if this show
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: is on the East Coast or the West.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: I've never been a morning person, so I'm fine on
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: the weekends staying up till six am and sleeping until two.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that at all. I am not
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: here to judge. You also are a gambler, so that's
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the way it works.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I have postponed the lane Kiff and talk long enough
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: because when we come back, I want to dive into
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: some of the fallout from it, and again, it's really nerdy,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: it's really inside college football. But there is a lot
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: that's going to happen over the next couple of weeks,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: not in the terms of actual movement, but in the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: terms of talking and kind of preparing for what that
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: next era of football is going to look like. Or
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: are we in the middle of a college football time,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: a college sports time that we look back on in
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: twenty years from now and say that was the start
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: of something pretty special paying athletes it's nil revshare. Or
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: are we going to look back in twenty years from now?
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I go, can you believe what we were doing in
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: college football and college sports in the twenty twenties?
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Like what were we thinking? Guys were making how much?
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But when we come back, we'll talk about the pied
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: piper of content in college football. Lane Kiffin takes center
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: stage right here on Fox Sports Radio.
