• 1:05
  Speaker 3: backs in there. Could have found more, Nellie cool Carl,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: could have found more.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Hi Vic, It's great to see your face again. Thank you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: You're translucent red, deeply white, just almost see through face.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: And I have to admit, as Nellie can attest. We
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: are supposed to do this bit, according to Moser, who
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: sent us a text this morning, where we ignore you
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: and ignore everything about you. But since Mosure can't seem
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: to make it on time to his own show show, yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: should we flip the bit? One flipped the bit, when
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: he walks in because he's going to be late clearly. Yeah,
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: like he never even existed, right. I want to welcome
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: you back with open arms, and I want it. First
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: of all, I want to thank Matt Smith for filling in.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Matt was wonderful and did a great job in your stead.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: But I want to ask you what it's like now
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: to be a two time father. A lot, Yes, it is.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: You know what's funny is it that whens on the birth?
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Thank you? We have did a lot of work baby Boval. No,
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: it's the first, the first kid. It feels like you lock.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: You're like, gosh, I just I'm not sleeping.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: And then.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Because the maybe jamal Kale is three and a half,
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: when you're not holding actively holding the newborn, which is
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: actually easy because that thing doesn't do anything. You just
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: hold it and then you throw a bottle in there
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: occasionally and change a diaper. I have to throw the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: other one in the air or give a piggyback ride
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: that the second one demanding the attention she is.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Now not getting. She's difficult, is gonna say.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Jealousy happens very yes.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And you sense the jealousy with mom especially, she's very
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: upset that Mom's hands are always full.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, as the older one tried to punch younger one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: No, She's very loving and caring, but she does not
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: want too much time. Mom spends too much time with
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the new one, so she's jealous about that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, and so you have to sort of partake in.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: That, correct and we don't.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: My My role as a father with her is not
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to do puzzles or paint, it's to throw her.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: It's like this show, you can't spend too much time
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: with me or mos one of us becomes jealous.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Exactly right. I was fully prepared. You know what's funny
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is that in the it was a month. The month
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that was gone, it felt like years. The Avs still
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: didn't lose a game in regulation, I know, in a month,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and the Broncos lost a football game and that was it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: That's kind of where I wanted to start VIC for
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: the first time since twenty fifteen, nothing changed what you
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: had going out. I know what you have coming in.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Jokic was playing incredibly good basketball. Oh wow, he's still is.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: For the first time since twenty fifteen, there's not the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Chiefs at the top of the division. It's the Broncos.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: And I want to make something clear, and I know
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: that we know this in town, but consider this a
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: message for everybody else, maybe nationally. This is not about
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs being down or having a bad year. This
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is about the Broncos taking it. They took it. There's
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: no other way to look at this.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: It.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you win eleven straight games. That's not about the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Chiefs not being as good as they usually are. That's
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: about you being incredibly good.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: You with thirteen games, you've earned everything you have.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: I don't want to hear about this crap about backing
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: in or barely winning or oh my gosh, you won
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: thirteen games. Shut up.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: It's not a fluke when you win thirteen games.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I think it's the coolest thing to me is the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: way that they did it, because it's the only way
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you could. Now if you could have predicted that the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Chiefs are gonna go six and ten and Mahomes is
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: gonna have some season ending injury, that's probably gonna linger
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: in the next year in some form or fashion. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: one thing. But we kind of talked about this from
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: the rip at the beginning of the year. In the offseason, Vic,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: how are you going to beat the Chiefs. You aren't
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: going to out quarterback them. It's not gonna happen. This
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: is not about bo Nicks being you know, a light
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: years better than anybody thought or anything like that. Organizationally,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you took the steps to make you better, in more
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: complete than anybody else in the division.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: You're going to defend them first and then the offense second. Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: that's how you're gonna win the division. And that's exactly
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: what the Broncos have done now. Albeit, I don't know
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: if you've noticed the defense isn't performing at the level
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: it was early in the season. Okay, it's taken a
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: few hits, but I thought the offense, especially in that
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Green Bay game, has shown signs of life. Yeah yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: you know, you watch the Broncos offense, then you turn
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: around and watch a game like last night. Now, all
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: the games over the weekend, I know, high scoring affairs
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: left and right. Yep, And tell me you weren't thinking
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: what I was thinking. God, I wish, I wish I
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: could see that on a nightly you know. It's just
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: few and far between with the Broncos offense. We saw
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: it in against Green Bay, we saw it against Dallas.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: We saw it against Cincinnati, But then everything else is
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: just pulling teeth.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You know, there's there's still level to this of when
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: you have the defense that maybe not what they were
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: a few weeks back, but you can see the offense
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: they've taken steps forward as the years have or as
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: the weeks have gone on.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: They're not. Look, I don't think anybody would consider.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Them like a top ten unit in the league or
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: anything like that, but it's gotten better, and I think
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that is actually supplemented. Where the defense is kind of
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: dragged a little bit, the offense has gotten good enough
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: to make up for it.
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: It has to games right, you have to, and sometimes
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: that balance happens organically without one side or the other.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: I just think the Denver Broncos right now, going into
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: the playoffs, we always assumed, okay, defensively, they're fine. In
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: the offense carry the load. My thought process changed a
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: little bit. Is the defense where we think it's supposed
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: to be right now?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: It depends they're still good. But I think what you're
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: asking Vic, do they need to continue to be this
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: great like top five, top three unit to win a
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Use that's the next thing here, right when
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: you hopefully at the end of this week, finished number
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: one in the conference.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: If nothing else, you won the division.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Everybody says you can't move the goalposts. I do it
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: all the time now.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Of course, depending on evidence and what's put in front
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: of me, you have to.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: And you can move it for every team. Yeah, I mean,
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: look at the last time. I'll give you an example.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Last night, San Francisco forty nine ers have a chance
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: to be the top seed in the NFC. Crazy, right, Yeah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Did you see their defense last night? M hmm.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: They look terrible, couldn't stop anything.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Caleb Williams went up and down the field. They should
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: have won. But the Bears should have won that game. Yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: they were on the doorstep to win that game. What
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: a game. By the way, So every team has a flaw, Brett,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Every team has a worry of concern a oh what
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: about this. There's not a single team out there where
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: you're like, this is wholly the best.
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Team in the It doesn't exists, Isn't it so weird?
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: In the NFL you always have like there's there's teams
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that are gonna make the playoffs, and then there's teams
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you actually believe could win a championship, and it's always
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: been limited to like four teams every year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: It is wide open this year, I it is wide open.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I mean dead serious victage like wide open.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers, they win this last week and they just
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: have a couple of nice defensive games in the postseason.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Could they be who knows?
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: It is wide open?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I'm looking at the Broncos though, in terms of what
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: happens next week, and obviously what happened to the Chargers
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: losing changes things. Do the Chargers play Herbert? Do they
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: play an injured Herbert? Do they go all out? It
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: comes down to this, win or lose, win or lose.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: If the Broncos lose, that sets the table for a
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: little bit of anything. When you get a bye week
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: win or lose, that first game is not going to
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: be a gimmey okay, it's not gonna be a gimme.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be a game that's gonna be difficult to win. Now,
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: if you win on Sunday and you earn the top seed,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: you're going to play four through seven. That's it. You
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: can't play seeds two or three because they reseed. They rebracket.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: This thing it's not like the NBA and the NBA,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: there's no changes. You play who's in front of you.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: In the NFL, if the Broncos get a bye, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: await the rest of those games and they will play
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: the worst seed left and that will be either four, five, six,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: or seven.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I think it's why, and we'll talk about this as
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the week goes on, but it's so important I think
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to win this weekend. Look at seeds five, six, and seven.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Tell me if any of those are teams that you
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: would prefer to play in a wild card round.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to play any I don't
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: want to play Houston.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: No.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: I just get the damn bye and let somebody else
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: take that burden away from you.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: Play a guaranteed win. That's a bye. A bye is
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: a guaranteed win.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Not to mention, I know the Jags game is weird.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: I chalk that up to you have won so many
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: consecutive games at home, you were do a stinker every
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: once in a while in the jagstick advantage.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Good for them.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, ideally, here's what the perfect scenario would be.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: That you win.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Obviously, you get the one seed and every team I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: would say this, that Pittsburgh wins their final game.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: To stay in the four seed, the seed with ten
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: and seven, and that the two three and four seeds
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: all win, So you take on Pittsburgh in the divisional round. Like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I think that's the ideal scenario that could be laid
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: out in front of you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen, but I think that's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: best case of what could go on from here. Sure
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: it's why if if the Chargers, because they don't really
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: care about where they're seated or whatever, if they want
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: to shut Herbert down for a week and then get
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: him ready for the postseason.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I want that score to be forty five to nothing
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: at halftime.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: If things stay the way they are, and I don't
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: think they will. Too many changes, Uh, The Broncos will
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: have the bye week, New England will take on Buffalo
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: in the opening round, Jacksonville will take on the Chargers,
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: and Pittsburgh takes on Houston. If Pittsburgh went, yeah, I'll
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: be honest with you, all of those lower seeds, I
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: could see them winning those games me too easily. Yep, easily.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And that's what's weird, you know you said it. It's
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: so wide open that we're like any of the one
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: through seven seed. I think, I honestly think Pittsburgh's the
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: only exception to this of teams I don't think can
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: do anything. Man like Baltimore doesn't either, But just if
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Lamar plays and he's healthy, I guess there's a chance
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: that they could do something.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: But Pittsburgh's the only one. Like I watched a lot.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Of that Cleveland game yesterday and I'm just like, Pittsburgh
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: is just there. They're mostly a mess, and they somehow
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: found ways because Mike Tomlin always does this to claw
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: out victories that they shouldn't, but they are.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: They're not a good football team.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I don't buy this. I did at one point, but
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: now with this team, I don't buy this. Well, they'll
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: get rusty if they take that bye week. No, no,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: this team's starting to get banged up. You see the
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: injuries start to pile up. They've got little knickknack injuries
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: now where that extra week will benefit the Broncos bravely too.
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: So take care of business this Sunday. If you lose Sunday,
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: I'm worried. Now, I'm worried. I'm worried about how you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: they could be one and done in the postseason.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: They're guaranteed a home game no matter what.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: But let's say they lose. Let's say that Herbert plays Chargers,
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: go all out, and the Broncos suddenly fall to uh
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: what seed would that be? The three seed. Let's say
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: jackson Jacksonville is gonna win, New England's gonna win, so
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: they fall to the three seed and now you're stuck
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: playing a team that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: It could be the Chargers again. Yeah, it could be Buffalo.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Yep. I mean that's not an easy tax.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: And on top of all of that, it would feel
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: if you don't get a win this weekend. I think
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: there's a mental side to it where it would just
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: feel as if you put in all this work just
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: just to what play.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Buffalo in the post?
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Like, Mentally, I think you'd like, damn it. We had
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: this in front of us and we lost the grip.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: So I think it'd be it would hurt a lot.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: So we can get more into.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: This obviously throughout the week, but I've had trouble, Vick.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I wanted to come in here with takes two second
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: takes on everything that I missed in the last month.
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: It's too many things.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: I went back and looked. You know, the first big
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: thing that happened after I took off.
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the Berlin Wall went, Yes, exactly, that was the
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: first thing. That's how long it's been.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Jim Morrill was hired at CSU.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: That was the first thing. The young not the not
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: the older one. Correct. Yeah, just so we get our
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: timeline down, it's been a while. The Roman Empire crumbled.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: The last time.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: I watched a movie about that, though, so I do
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: have some knowledge.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: Movie.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I forget what it was. It was a documentary on
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: a movie must really hit. Yep, this is what I do.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: And now I have two children.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I watched Roman Empire documentaries as I go to sleep
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: at night. It's a rally house football Monday and out
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the dude sports radio rally house shop every team in town.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Boy Moser's going out of his way to make you,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: just to welcome you back. Only the way he knows.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Is this part of the bit there. It just doesn't
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: show up at all.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Just not work. It is this sit now that Hey,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: let's really so the whole bit was supposed to be. Hey,
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: let's do the entire first segment and ignore him like
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: he never even left, like he doesn't exist. Yeah, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: now we're doing it to Mosure.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty easy when this is an empty chair

  Speaker 6: Did what did you miss most since it's been a
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: long long time since you've been here?
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: About the show?
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just about your job, the show, all of it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: What did you make okay being dead? Honest, because you've
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: been gone. Just to let anybody know who's new to
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: the show. We normally don't take vacation for seven months,
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: but it's true. Kine is benefiting from this new state
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: law where if you have a kid you can take
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: whatever time you want off. I mean I never had
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: that benefit. I took four days off max four hours.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: Most of us Jane took months, a month months.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: It's funny though.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: The first so when baby Jamal Kale was born, I
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: think I took three days off because the As were
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: in the Western Conference finals.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I was like, I got too much.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I gotta go back too much.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what I honestly what I did
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: miss about this? First of all, laughs in the morning.
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: That's number one. Number two.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I told you this was really weird because I didn't
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I knew I wasn't doing the show. I checked out
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: of sports in a way that I haven't done in forever.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Not checked out, but like the game would be on
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: and I'm not actively watching the game like I used to.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And my wife said, when does like the Nuggets play tonight?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they can play tonight, and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: don't know if they're playing tonight.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: In that beautiful thing.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: And she loved that more than anything else because her
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: life has always been I have the TV on a game.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: You're always looking in the mirror. You're always looking in
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: the rear view mirror. Okay, what did I miss? What
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: do I need to catch up on? What? You know?
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: You always people always wonder what it's like to be
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: in this business, it's you always have to be in
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: tune to what's going.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: On, and it was like, I there was a weeknd
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: there where I just kind of checked out of everything
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and that was kind of nice.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Now, so basically Moser's life correct.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, here's.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: What's so crazy. And I hate to do this every year,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: but I don't know how to say it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Yo Kich is doing the impossible again where he's better
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: than he was the year before, and I don't know
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: how it's possible. But the Christmas Day game combined with
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: the fact and I know the Orlando game over the
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: weekend made you stomach turn a little bit with the
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: way that it finished, especially some weird calls having to
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: challenge those two plays. All of that, the Nuggets seem
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: to have this issue. They've had it for a while,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: even before the injuries, but I think it's more pronounced
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: now about the late clutch time defense and the ability
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to get a stop. And I get a theory towards that,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: if you'd like to hear it, which is, if you
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: work a nine to five job, you weren't going one
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: hundred percent at your job at all times.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: You pick.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Look, I know I just took a month off. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: can guarantee Nelly was there moments where Vic repeated something
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: that somebody said immediately after they said it when I
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: was gone.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: He only did on days of the week that end
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: in day.
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Brett got it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: You.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: You don't go one hundred percent the whole time, you'd
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: be burnt out by the time you get the Wednesday.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And I think the Nuggets have an issue of this
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: because they're out three starters.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I think they have to expend.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: So much energy on keeping this thing together for the
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: first few quarters that when it gets to the fourth
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: they don't They don't have the extra gear they need.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Am I wrong on that? Is that a bad theory
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: or what do you think it is? Is it just
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: something schematic that they aren't doing in the fourth?
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I think they're running out of gas. You're right, they're
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: running out of gas because the bench is dwindled. You
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: lose three starters, you take three bench guys and make
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: them starters, and so your bench takes a hit. I
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: also believe two things can be true, all right. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: was upset with the way the end of that Orlando
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: game was officiated.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: It was ridiculous.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was upset with that at the same time,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: you can't give up forty three points in that quarter.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: At the same time, he'd give it up forty three
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: because your dudes are tired. At the same time, guys,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: balance shouness. That was terrible what you put on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: floor the other day, right, Bruce Brown has not been good. Listen, listen.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: I love Bruce. He's one of my favorite Nugget players
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: of all time. He's not the same player right now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I asked the question in the off season, and I
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: don't see you tell me, am I wrong. No, I'm
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: gonna back you up here because I asked this question
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: in the offseason and nobody wanted to hear it because
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: we all love Bruce. I don't think there's a single
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: person that is a fan of the Nuggets that does
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: not love Bruce Brown to death. I asked the question, though, Vic.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: We all thought that Bruce Brown coming back to this
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: team was going to be this huge boost to your bench,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: and he's certainly better than what you had previously. But
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: my question was, if Bruce Brown is the player that
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: we think he is, why would three different teams be
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: like no thanks in two years. I was just I
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: asked the question out loud. I'm like, if he's that
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: level of a player, then why did three different teams
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: be like, yeah, I'm good without him.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Well, first of all, because he was making twenty two
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: million with those teams. Okay, but he's on the roster,
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: but he was making twenty two million. So now you're
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: evaluating him as a twenty two million dollar player a year,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: not a veteran minimum.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: The Pacers evaluated that immediately, sure, and halfway through the year, yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: ship them out. And then they made the Eastern Conference Finals,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: didn't they.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, listen, I could tell you what's wrong
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: with Bruce, and I think he knows what's wrong, just
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: don't say it out loud. He's he's lacking confidence offensively,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: he's not shooting the ball. Yep. He's on the perimeter
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: and he's got open looks and he's not shooting the
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: ball at all. Right, And when you can't shoot the three,
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: when you have no confidence in your three ball and
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: all you have is a drive, everybody knows it. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: what's happening. He's getting rejected at the rim a lot.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: Have you noticed that, Yes, finishing at the rim is
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: not easy for him. You know why, because everyone knows
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: this jump shot. It's not falling. You know why he
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: got into it with Kevin Durrett the other night because
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: Durant knows it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the league knows it. They scat him.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: So he's got to start making those shots and then
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: the confidence will return, because that's once he starts scoring again,
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: Once he has confidence in his shot again, he will
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: get better. I believe you will. He'll put work into it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: You never have to listen that dude works, and he
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: works on defense. His shot is not there. Valence shoeingess
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: at the same time against Orlando was terrible. That was
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: his worst game as a Nugget.
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: He got moved around, shoved around. He was too concerned
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: with fouls. He had dumb fouls. He was a minus seventeen.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: The best Nuggets bench player was Julian Strather. They played
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: three guys essentially in picket off the bench. Strather was
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: their best bench player. Yep, you're not gonna win.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you mentioned Valancenis because I was
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: thinking about this too. It's it's another one of those
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: things where.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: You know I'm not I'll never. First of all, you've
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: missed me for one thing that people have to understand
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: about the show. I do nuggets pre and post. I
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: will never lie to you about the nuggets. Yeah, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: will tell it like it is.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: Right. Yes, It's not easy for me to say what
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: I just said, right because I love Bruce Brown, but
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: he's not playing the way we remember Bruce Brown.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: No, and Valanchouness needs to play better.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So the valve thing is bothersome for this reason. We've
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: talked about this for years.
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: It's like I just looked it up.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Yokic's averaging over thirty five minutes a game, and I
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: get that some of that has to do with you
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: have so many injuries. You need to rely on your
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: big dogs to take care of things for you. And
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: to his credit and to Jamal's credit to us, having
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: by far his best year, they are taking on the
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: yeoman's work that is necessary. But if Valan or Bruce
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Brown or anybody else can't start to get this figured out,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I get a little worried about how much you're taxing
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: those guys again, like how much is on their shoulders
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: right now?
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Because what is it really? I mean, you win on
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Christmas Day?
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Vic?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Because Jokich is.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Having to exert the ungodly talent of one million percent
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: effort on every possession, when the whole hope was you
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: didn't want that to happen this year, but the injuries
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: have kind of forced you back into it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: Well, here's what happens too. And I'm reading and I'm
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: and I'm paying attention to a lot of long standing
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: Nuggets fans who I really respect and appreciate their diligence,
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: their knowledge, their sophisticated Nuggets fans.
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: But they're starting to talk crazy talk.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: And here's what I'm hearing. Here's what I heard at
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: the end of the Orlando game, And well, Joker's got
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: to be better in the clutch. I just want you,
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: guys to think about what you're saying for a second.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: I want you to think about something. This guy just
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: got done with a three game stretch that is arguably
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: the greatest three game stretch in NBA scoring, offensive production history.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna repeat myself. What he's done the last three
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: games has not been done in the history of basketball.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: And the Denver Nuggets are one to two in those games. Yeah,
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: so if you are to say, well he's you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: he's got to make that shot, or he's got to
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: do this. I hate I'm one. I thought he should
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: have taken that shot in Dallas instead of passed it
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: to Peyton Watson. I thought he should have. But when
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: you look in hindsight at the three games and the
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: numbers he put up, if your first move is to say, well,
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: Joe Kersey, no, no, no, stop right there, stop, I'm
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: gonna stop you right there, don't be stupid like I was.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Don't be me because what this guy has put on
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: paper and what he's put on his resume over three
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: games has never been done before. Everybody else has to
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: be better.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: So it's funny you mentioned that because I thought about
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: this the last play, the kickout to p Watt.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: This is the same argument that used to be used
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: with Lebron back in the day. Yeah, when it was
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: he needs to take the last shot, and the argument
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: back was, well, what's the proper basketball play? Contested two
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: or you kick out to somebody wide open in the
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: corner for three.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: What's better?
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I have no problem with because that's how
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: his game is, right, I'm gonna find the open guy
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: like he was looking to score there.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: And then I think you just saw Watson all by himself.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah right, I mean, I listen, this is a moot point,
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: and I can argue this until I'm in that casket.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: I wanted him to shoot that ball. Yeah, I'll take
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: a joker float over anybody else's three point shot. Yeah,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: that's what.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: If it was Jamal in the corner, I take Jamal, yeah,
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: because he's been there. He's made that shot. Right.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: That's why if if AG in the corner, I'll give
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: it AG because he's been there, he's made that shot.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: And again, maybe that's how you develop those kind of
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: players to make that shot. Maybe that's what he's thinking.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: I don't know. You know, we're nitpicking that game, the
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: Orlando game. First of all, the last minute report by
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the NBA. They admitted that they missed a foul call
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: when Anthony Black grabbed Jamal's wrist on the inbound Remember
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: when the ball got away from Jamal. That should have
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: been a foul the NBA missed. It would have been
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: two more shots. I'm not even mad because there were
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: so many whistles in the fourth quarter. But here's what
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: I wanted the Nuggets to do. And tell me if
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: you were thinking like I was, because they blew the
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: whistle every single possession. What do you do in that case?
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: What do you do if you're a basketball player and
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: you know the whistle's been blown every time? Dasmond Baine
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: just put his head down and said, I'm gonna charge.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: What do you do if you're the what do you do?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: What's the last?
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: The last possession? You drive to the lane? You make
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: them blow the whistle? Why? Because that's where the whistle is. Now.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: They're blowing it every time if you're taking shots.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: And I know why they had to do this because
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: they lost time in bounding. But if they had to
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: do it all over again, all over again, give it
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: to Jamal put your head down like Desmond Bane did,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: and go and guess what, Hey, right, you just gave
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: him a call.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Now it's our turn.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: It's almost like they were forced into calling a foul
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: in every possession if it was.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: Closed, because they already did. They established that. See, and
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: that's the thing that I think sometimes players, you've got
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: to be aware where is the whistle in that game?
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: Where is it?
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: That way, they were whistle happy at that point. Everything
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: was a whistle, So don't a fallaway jumper no, no, no, no, no.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Is part of that no no.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: See.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I wonder if the NBA mindset creeps in no, how
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: many game winners do you see if people driving to
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the lane and getting a layup, and how many are
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: guys taking jumpers and it's jumpers holding.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: The goose neck up and doing that thing.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: But you got to know what the whistle's doing, and
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: the whistle's being blown every time go to You had
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: plenty of time. They couldn't get the inbounds in, but
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: you have plenty of time. The message should have been
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: go to the hole, Go as hard as you can
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: to the hole and make them make a call. And
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: if they don't make a call, then everybody's like what
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: Desmond bin just literally went like a linebacker a full
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: back and.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Then tripped over his own I can't get over that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: And I think that well, I know Adaman was so
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: pissed because he had to use those challenges the like
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: previous two possessions.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, because he I think if you challenge that one,
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: you probably win.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: That one lost it. You think you would have lost
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: it because it's a stupid NBA wrinkle if you go
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: back and look at the play again, and I did.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I looked at it several times he tripped over Bruce
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: Brown's was a Bruce or Tim who was guarding him
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: at the time?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it was Bruce.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: He tripped over his foot right, And it's much like
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: that call. Do you remember that call at the end of
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: the Houston game that benefited the Nuggets where Tim Hardaway
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: fell and Houston fans were up in arms, going, what
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: did we do? It's the same call, Nuggets fans, so
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: don't be hypocritical. It's the same call. It happened, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: that's a foul on the defensive player. If your foot
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: causes a fall, whether it's there or not, it's a foul.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: That's why you have to be aggressive at the end
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: of regulation. This fallaway crap doesn't work.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I agree overall, though you still look at where they're
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: sitting right now. It's I might have to amend something
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: that I said earlier in the year, by the way,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: that I don't think the Spurs are ready this year
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: that they need another year. I think they might be
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: a lot closer than I previously thought, especially the way
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: nobody's able to handle Oklahoma City except San Antonio. They
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: somehow know how to handle it three times in two weeks. Yeah,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: which is insane. I just I still think, you know
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: what's funny. It feels like I'm having this internal dialogue
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: in my head the same way I had with the
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Avs the last couple of years. I'm like, but they're
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: so hurt. Once they get fully healthy, it should look
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: totally different, and you just you aren't gonna be able
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: to know that. Like the bummer was, it felt like
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Cam Johnson was really starting to figure it out, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: then he goes down with the injury, and now you're
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: kind of thrown back on that timeline too.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, and Nuggets fans have to understand this
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: is my take, and you could think what you want.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: Availability and durability is so important in this league. Nikoli
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: Jokich not only he's playing in an other worldly level
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: right now, he's played in every single game, yeah, thirty
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: one for thirty one. Jamal Murray's played thirty at thirty one,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: they've been available. You're two best stars. And I hate
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: to be slow healer guy, but my god, it's taken forever.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: Am I wrong? No? I mean let's go.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, just you you tossed out the slow healer
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: pretty casually. That's a curse word on this show.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I know, I get it. Let's go.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: At the same man, these guys listen, man, that's a
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: lot of pressure put on your two best players who
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: have played every damn game.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is there something to be said about slow playing
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: this in December though, just to make sure.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Sure, But you know, we live in December, we live
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: in January.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: This is where we live. So it's easy for people
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: to say, well, come on, look at the long game.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: How do you know it doesn't happen again.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very well. Especially AG's had hamstring issue for like
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: And now all I know is this. All I know
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: is this. Nakoli Jokic not only fills the statue that
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: son of a gun is durable.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, he's available, he plays, and I think he plays
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: through a lot more stuff.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Look at every.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: Team in the league and look at their superstar players.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: They don't have what the Nuggets have, right. They have
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: a superstar who plays every single night.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: And have said it, it's it's unfair to put that
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: much on them all the time. This hasn't been like weeks,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: so I will give them grace.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: Did I like what they did at the end of
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: the Orlando game. No, but you know what, they're playing
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: their asses off and they're playing every minute.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: No, it's about time. Listen man, heal up.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, get back out there helping out again.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Riley House Football Monday here back after this.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: Did you see what he just did?
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Did you see what he just did?
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: And now you guys know, now you wonder, hey, Vic,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: why do you never go into the studio? Did you
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: see what he just did? He says, He says, I'm
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: getting sick. And after saying that, he walks toward me
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: and coughs right in my face.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: And you know what, I'm gonna take this.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Did you see that? I just want to make sure
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: did you see that?
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna take it in another direction?
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Sure, I appreciate you coughing.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: In my face, that sickness infused phlegm in the direction
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: of Vic as opposed to the guy with the new baby.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Thank you very much for
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: doing that. I appreciate it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'm fine.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: It's just that it feels like every now you get
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: a little thing that just like hangs there like it
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: just it's like, hey, I live here, it lives here.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Then you you get him out, and then his brother
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: shows up and so idea that near me my arm,
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: it doesn't even matter.
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: So your grand plan was to come like just a
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: few inches from my face and cough it right at me.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Can I also appreciate it?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Like, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: first time back in a month?
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's been Stop saying month, it's been a month.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: It's it has.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Not been a month. It's been more than a month.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: It's been five over five weeks.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: My kid was born in the twenty fourth. It's a
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: twentyth there's basically a month.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: I don't even recognize you anymore.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: No, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: The first day I come back, Moser's got a story
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: about here is driving the Flintstone car to work.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: I mean it took one day.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: It took one day to get a Mosuer's story. It
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: didn't even take a week. One day. So let's get
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: let's just get it over with. The car had a
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: service slide on. It wouldn't go over thirty.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: It has a computer in its brain. You know, it's such.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: See.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: The worst part is you forced me to relive my
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: anxiety and anger.
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: Don't buy a beamer, dude. They make you go to
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: the service window.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I know they do anyway.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: So I'm on the hunt this morning for coolant because
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: so you have to use coolant because the beam are
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: saying what to you. It's saying extreme, but like whatever
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: flashes up on the little screen extreme emergency engine damage?
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: You know it could occur? Is it curring or whatever
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: it is? Yeah, and it won't let you rev.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: Engine damage is a curry?
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: What you would say if that's the way I interpreted it, like, Okay,
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna catch fire and die right now.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: I would too.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, So I'm on a thirty mile an hour hunt
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: for coolant.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: So if you try to go faster than thirty one,
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: is a car new, Yeah, it just won't know.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: It just won't do it. It's just like it has
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: a you go pedal.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: To the floor and he goes thirty.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: It's like when you're at a golf course and you're
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: it doesn't let you go past.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Problem. It's a hybrid and the electric part.
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: Of it is not charged, like it it didn't charge overnight.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: Fix your throat.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Wells very good to see you.
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: You're you're you're more a mess now than you were before.
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: I saw that didn't have coolant. Very nice lady, but
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: you're like, oh, good morning, dear, Oh.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: My lady, I'm not good morning, but you're a very
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: sweet old lady. And they've got everything else.
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: They've got a gigant when you're done, the great fluid
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: you could possibly find.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, I'll just look with some cooling. Oh
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: we're plumb out plump.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: Did you drive to Georgia on the little bit?
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: I can I say something.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I know this is something you guys talked about already,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: but I just I'm still I'm flabbergasted. You have this
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: amazing start of the season and you hit some trouble,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: let's say, some coolant trouble, right, and your answer is
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: not found within your own home. You decide to go
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: pick up the forty four year old quarterback who hasn't
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: played in half a decade and say this is our
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: best shot at winning. Because I watched Philip Rivers again
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: over the weekend, and he look given the circumstances of
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: him being a forty four, forty four year old man,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: thought he played great. But can you guys, imagine if
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the Broncos started the year the way that they did,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: and they're in the middle of that eleven game winning
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: streak and they're like nine and two. Bo Nicks goes
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: down with an entry and Peyton goes I got it,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: Philip Rivers is going to be the answer that keeps
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: us in.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: The You would just you'd want to die. Okay, you'd want.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: To ten years ago.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: I man, yeah, of course.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: God.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: Look at by the way, look at what happened to
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: the Colts this year.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: I know, look at how quickly a season can turn.
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: At one point this season, they had they had defeated
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: the Broncos. They got guys that are playing out of there.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: I mean they're starting quarterback and starting running back at
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: that point the season were the best two players at
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: their positions, right, Daniel Jones Danny Dimes is playing out
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: of the He was like.
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: The leading MVP candidate for two months and then they
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: just fell apart. Now again, injury to your starting quarterback
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: does that. But I mean Riley Leonard, he was the
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: former Notre Dame guy.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: Right, yeah, he can't can't throw. What do you think if.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: You're Riley Leonard? Though, they looked at you and they said,
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: he can't throw.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, I trust me. I looked at he went
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: to my school. I know what he is. He can't throw, but.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: You almost I think I'd retire on the spot.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: Is like throwing part of the position.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, but if you tell me the thing that I'm
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: being paid to do, I do so poorly that I
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: need to go get that guy who's collecting AARP checks.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: What do I do from there?
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, but let me defend the Colts a little tiny bit.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: It was a.
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: Confluence of circumstances in a very specialized situation because of
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: his relationship with Stichen. Yeah, and I realize that pulling
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: a forty four year old quarterback off the shelf is
• 40:02
  Speaker 7: an ideal, but given the circumstance, I think it might
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: have been their best option.
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: They were already grasping its straws. Anyway, let me and
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: he's the final straw.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Can I confirm some things?
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: And listen? I am not the brightest bulb when it
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: comes to all this playoff scenario crap, but I do
• 40:23
  Speaker 6: know this. Somebody on the text I said, Vic, if
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: the Broncos lose this week, they could fall to five No,
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: they can't. No, No, listen to me. Listen, They've already
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: clinched home field in the first round, no matter what. Yeah,
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: they won the division, all right. They can't finish anywhere
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: below third, the winner of the AFC what is that?
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: The AFC North.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: They're not going to exceed the Broncos record.
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: So they will finish if they lose this game, they
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: could finish second, They can finish third. They cannot finish
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: anywhere below.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: That, that's it, yep. But they can still finish first.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: Long exactly if everybody loses, that's not gonna happen. No,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: because everybody's playing cupcakes. If we're talking possibilities, New England's
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: playing cupcake, Miami, Jacksonville's playing cupcake, Indye, I believe correct? Uh, yes,
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: it's Cupcake Central up and down all right?
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: So no, no, they're playing the Titans, Okay, cupcake. Who's
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: Houston playing?
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: Is that Indy?
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, they're home against Indy?
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: All right, So it's cupcake scenario left and right. The
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: Broncos in fact, in fact, the Broncos have the toughest
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: remaining game left. It's the Chargers now, depending on what,
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: depending on which version of the Chargers. You have if
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: you are Jim Harbaugh and guys, guys, this is where
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: Jim Harbaugh is the ultimate wild card. He zigs when
• 41:50
  Speaker 6: everybody expects him to zage. Some coaches might look at
• 41:53
  Speaker 6: this and say, give one hand guy an extra week arrest,
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Give him a week arrest, give him the a chance
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: to get that moonstruck hand all healed up. That's where
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Jim Harbaugh goes against the Green I would not be
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: surprised one bit if he says let's go.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: He doesn't strike me as that type, especially with this.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Think about it this way. If you're the Chargers, with
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: a win, you could potentially jump to the five seed,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: right who then.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: With a win, yeah, you could jump all the way.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, with a win, they could jump to the five seed,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: which would put you potentially in a game against Pittsburgh,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: which we were talking about earlier.
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Is ideal. I would be the ideal, beneficial matchup in
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: Week one.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any reason for them not to
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: be gunning for a win on Sunday.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: I think they'll bring it all.
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: And if you're the Denver Broncos, I wouldn't expect anything less.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: You'd be foolish to expect anything less. I think the
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: Chargers will come here to try to win the game. Yeah,
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: I guess I didn't hear this part.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: Did you talk about Saturday's game for the Chargers?
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: Did you talk about how they got jobbed job as
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: in losing to the Houston Texans.
• 43:02
  Speaker 7: As That was the worst OPI in the history of football,
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: I mean, just ridiculous crap. Also one of those roughing
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: in the quarterback calls where yeah, all you did was
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: sack a quarterback.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: You didn't rough it. Nobody roughed anybody.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: Happened yesterday in the Cleveland.
• 43:18
  Speaker 7: Yet ain't nobody roughing anybody. People are getting tackled and
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: they're calling it roughing because.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: If you fall on a quarterback, it's roughing, right.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but sometimes you can't help it.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: Fall on a quarterback, I understand, I understand.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: No, you don't understand.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: Let me fall on you and see what happens.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it happens. You need a hug, I reckon I do. Anyway.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: The point is that I think that you're right, Brett.
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: Brett does that you Yes, I cannot believe it.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: I get the hug, yeah right in there.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: Okay, So he's gonna do it.
• 43:47
