- 0:18Speaker 3: It's a Bud Light football Friday. Bud Light, the official
- 0:21Speaker 3: beer sponsor of the Denver Broncos. Remember to enjoy responsibly.
- 0:25Speaker 3: We have the Nuggets taking on the Suns at 8
- 0:27Speaker 3: o'clock tonight. A lot of late starts for the Nuggets
- 0:31Speaker 3: here to start the season. What's going on? Who do
- 0:33Speaker 3: they think they are? And what they're doing to us
- 0:36Speaker 3: as people here in Colorado. So we'll get to the
- 0:39Speaker 3: Nuggets a little bit later. Now, there's something that took
- 0:43Speaker 3: place yesterday. We all kind of noticed this. We talked
- 0:47Speaker 3: about it on Monday. It was, man, J.K. Dobbins just
- 0:53Speaker 3: didn't seem very happy after that game last week, right?
- 0:57Speaker 3: And J.K. Dobbins did not meet with the media after
- 1:01Speaker 3: the game. He scored the touchdown. He looked a little
- 1:04Speaker 3: dejected afterwards. And we all kind of said, like, it
- 1:07Speaker 3: seemed like he had a front row seat to watching
- 1:10Speaker 3: a guy seemingly take what is his job. Not to
- 1:14Speaker 3: say that he won't have a role on this team.
- 1:16Speaker 3: You know, we talked to Legwald yesterday. Legwald said it's
- 1:20Speaker 3: probably going to be a situation where J.K. Dobbins starts
- 1:22Speaker 3: the game. But when you look at the final carries
- 1:25Speaker 3: and the final tallies here, At the end of it,
- 1:28Speaker 3: it's probably going to be Jonah Coleman leading the way. Now,
- 1:33Speaker 3: he spoke yesterday in a back and forth with mostly
- 1:36Speaker 3: Mike Kliss, but media surrounding him. And the things that
- 1:39Speaker 3: he said were really interesting. I know that Nelly's trying
- 1:43Speaker 3: to get Vic set up here in some form or fashion.
- 1:46Speaker 3: So I'm going to wait for him to come back
- 1:48Speaker 3: to play this because this is the old start and stop.
- 1:52Speaker 3: But if you guys didn't hear it, Let's just give
- 1:55Speaker 3: you the initial taste of this is the back and
- 1:57Speaker 3: forth that J.K. Dobbins had yesterday. Nellie, let me know
- 2:01Speaker 3: when you're ready.
- 2:02Speaker 4: You're used to being.
- 2:05Speaker 5: The top dog, right? How is it for you personally
- 2:09Speaker 5: when the kids are running ahead of you as they
- 2:13Speaker 5: did in the second half of the last game?
- 2:15Speaker 4: Well, did you watch the game?
- 2:17Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:18Speaker 4: You watched the game. So what did I do in
- 2:19Speaker 4: the first half? Your first two carries, 13 yards.
- 2:24Speaker 5: Second carry had a nice hole, five yards.
- 2:28Speaker 4: And not too much after that. But how many carries
- 2:31Speaker 4: did I have in the first half? Four or five?
- 2:34Speaker 1: Five?
- 2:35Speaker 4: For how many yards? I think it was four. How
- 2:38Speaker 4: many yards? How many yards?
- 2:40Speaker 2: 23-something.
- 2:41Speaker 5: Does that sound right?
- 2:42Speaker 4: So what's the average of that?
- 2:46Speaker 7: Four-something.
- 2:48Speaker 4: Four?
- 2:49Speaker 1: Five and a half.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Five and a half.
- 2:51Speaker 3: All right, so stop for a second. What do you
- 2:54Speaker 3: think about just the tone, boys, of how that back
- 2:57Speaker 3: and forth went just initially? Because there's more to do
- 3:00Speaker 3: with this.
- 3:01Speaker 2: I think he's obviously, I mean, it's pretty simple to see.
- 3:05Speaker 2: He's miffed. He's defending his case. He's played, you know, the, quote,
- 3:12Speaker 2: tough defenses, you know, this kind of thing.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And he's taking exception to Mike about his carries and
- 3:19Speaker 2: his yardage.
- 3:20Speaker 7: And Mike's right, though. They stopped running him.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Here's the thing. What was the average in my four carries?
- 3:29Speaker 3: Five and a half. Respectfully, I like JK.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I really do.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I think that he's, first of all, a cool dude.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Second of all, I think he's good back when he's healthy.
- 3:40Speaker 3: I would ask him respectfully, what's your average on the
- 3:44Speaker 3: other 84 carries you've had this year? Because that's 3.4.
- 3:49Speaker 3: And that is not five and a half.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Well, you see, he.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Allen, let's just say some random running back, Allen. Allen,
- 3:57Speaker 2: on those first five carries, you were stuffed at the
- 3:58Speaker 2: line for negative two yards.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Oh, yeah?
- 4:01Speaker 2: What about the one I popped out for 20? What
- 4:03Speaker 2: was the average on that run?
- 4:04Speaker 7: Well, it was 20 yards. Damn right it was 20 yards.
- 4:07Speaker 1: So they're talking to my guy all wrong. It's wrong tone.
- 4:09Speaker 3: That's how this started. So let's continue.
- 4:12Speaker 4: I'm a math guy, okay?
- 4:14Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 4:15Speaker 4: So then you go to this. I was going five
- 4:18Speaker 4: and 23.
- 4:19Speaker 8: Well, so then if you go to the second half.
- 4:21Speaker 4: I had the touchdown run, which was one yard.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Yep.
- 4:24Speaker 4: And then, like, we were winning pretty good, right? Weren't we?
- 4:29Speaker 1: Yep.
- 4:30Speaker 4: And everybody's wanting me to play 17 games, correct?
- 4:33Speaker 1: All right.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Correct.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Stop there. You know when players and coaches say, we
- 4:40Speaker 3: don't listen or read or we don't watch your stuff
- 4:44Speaker 3: and all that? J.K. Dobbins has consumed a lot of J.K.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Dobbins content.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Well, when he says, you guys want me, well, don't
- 4:55Speaker 1: you want to play 17 games? Wasn't he the guy
- 4:57Speaker 1: who made that case? Yeah. I mean, wow, man. This
- 5:02Speaker 1: has been the week in defensive athletes.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Everybody's defensive. Everybody's, what's going on? Is it us? It
- 5:11Speaker 1: is us.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Here's the thing. We mentioned this from the start. I
- 5:17Speaker 3: said this back in July or August, whenever it was,
- 5:19Speaker 3: these pinky promising Andy Lindahl. but staying healthy. That's not
- 5:24Speaker 3: a promise you can keep. You don't have control over
- 5:27Speaker 3: that situation. Moj, I pinky promise I won't get in
- 5:32Speaker 3: an accident when I go home today. Maybe somebody jackknifes me.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 5:37Speaker 3: How can I make that promise? But why is he
- 5:41Speaker 3: saying this at all about his carries in the game
- 5:44Speaker 3: and you guys want to make sure I play 17 games?
- 5:47Speaker 1: Not us. We don't.
- 5:49Speaker 3: But it continues from there.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Go ahead.
- 5:51Speaker 8: So can you take that into account before you start
- 5:54Speaker 8: saying stuff like that?
- 5:55Speaker 4: Because the coaches have a plan.
- 5:58Speaker 8: This organization has a plan for me. And I'm always
- 6:03Speaker 8: there to coach my young guys. Like I've said this
- 6:06Speaker 8: from the beginning, RJ is my rookie. And then we've
- 6:10Speaker 8: got another rookie in Jonah. I'm coaching them to make
- 6:12Speaker 8: their plays because I want to see them succeed.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Right? We were up by a lot. I want to
- 6:20Speaker 4: win the games.
- 6:21Speaker 8: And I also want to win in the playoffs and eventually,
- 6:24Speaker 8: you know, get to a Super Bowl. So to say, oh, no,
- 6:30Speaker 8: we're winning the game. You keep calling me a vet.
- 6:33Speaker 4: I'm not old.
- 6:34Speaker 8: I'm 27 years old. Not old, not 30, not even
- 6:36Speaker 8: close to 30. So let's be smart about it. You
- 6:40Speaker 8: know what I'm saying? And that's what it was, I believe.
- 6:45Speaker 8: I'm not sure. You guys might make something bigger than
- 6:47Speaker 8: what it is. But I'm just here to support my teammates.
- 6:51Speaker 8: And I love my teammates, and I think they love
- 6:53Speaker 8: me too.
- 6:54Speaker 3: All right, we can stop there. The I'm not old,
- 6:58Speaker 3: I'm 27 thing. Nelly had a really good line about
- 7:02Speaker 3: this in the appetizer. She goes, I remember when I
- 7:04Speaker 3: played that game. I'm not even close to 30. I'm 20. Well,
- 7:08Speaker 3: you're getting there, first of all. Second of all, there's
- 7:11Speaker 3: two positions on the football field that age like milk,
- 7:14Speaker 3: and it's running back in its corner. It just is.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Find me a good corner at 31 years old. Doesn't
- 7:21Speaker 3: really happen, does it? Unless you're Darrell Rivas or Sertan.
- 7:24Speaker 7: It doesn't happen.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Age has nothing to do with it, to me. It
- 7:28Speaker 2: has something to do with it. But you're correct in
- 7:30Speaker 2: the fact that running backs check out early. Vic, the
- 7:34Speaker 2: lifespan of a running back in the National Football League
- 7:38Speaker 2: is very short.
- 7:39Speaker 3: They take a pounding.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Absolutely, the average lifespan. It's the fact that he's just
- 7:44Speaker 2: never played a full season. Okay, look, his rookie year
- 7:47Speaker 2: in Baltimore, he played 15 games.
- 7:50Speaker 7: Good. That's awesome. Next year, he played eight. The next year,
- 7:54Speaker 7: he played one. Then he comes to the Chargers. He
- 7:57Speaker 7: plays 13.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Then he plays 10. And now he's played all the
- 8:00Speaker 2: games so far. And I dig what he's saying. They're
- 8:03Speaker 2: trying to keep him healthy. They're trying to mix it
- 8:05Speaker 2: up and so on and so forth. But he's got
- 8:07Speaker 2: this defensive nature that I can understand where it comes
- 8:11Speaker 2: from because people have criticized him for not being able
- 8:14Speaker 2: to stay healthy and not being on the field an
- 8:16Speaker 2: awful lot. But You know, he doesn't, I don't know.
- 8:19Speaker 2: He doesn't need to go to that extreme in my opinion.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I'm just confused because the exchange was not a combative one.
- 8:27Speaker 1: The question was not combative. Can you rewind to the
- 8:30Speaker 1: actual question that Mike asked? Because I want to go
- 8:32Speaker 1: back and try to put myself in J.K.
- 8:34Speaker 7: 's shoes.
- 8:35Speaker 1: I want to see if there's anything about it that
- 8:37Speaker 1: would make me want to go off. Go ahead, Stevie.
- 8:40Speaker 5: You're used to being the, you know, the top dog, right?
- 8:44Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
- 8:45Speaker 5: How is it for you personally when, you know, the
- 8:49Speaker 5: kids are running ahead of you as they did in
- 8:52Speaker 5: the second half of the last game?
- 8:54Speaker 4: What, did you watch the game?
- 8:55Speaker 1: Okay, yeah. I don't understand. I mean, that wasn't disrespectful.
- 9:00Speaker 1: He's just making an observation. He's just, he's not saying, hey,
- 9:04Speaker 1: your career is over clearly.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Somebody's better than you. I mean, nobody, and I know
- 9:10Speaker 1: a lot of people want to attack the messenger because
- 9:12Speaker 1: when I saw that posted, everybody's like, ah, another, lowbrow
- 9:16Speaker 1: question from a lowbrow reporter. There's nothing lowbrow about that.
- 9:20Speaker 1: He just asked a question. It's not that big a deal.
- 9:23Speaker 1: It really isn't. I mean, clearly that answer has been
- 9:28Speaker 1: percolating in J.K. 's brain for quite some time, right?
- 9:32Speaker 3: By the way, Vic, just to back you up on this,
- 9:34Speaker 3: it's especially fair given that he had the least snaps
- 9:38Speaker 3: of any running back in the game last week. He
- 9:40Speaker 3: played 14 snaps.
- 9:43Speaker 1: Forget carries, he had 14 snaps. There's been some defensive
- 9:47Speaker 1: stuff going on. And that's fine. Whatever. That's fine. I mean.
- 9:52Speaker 3: But can I just say this about JK? In in
- 9:56Speaker 3: that this feels now that you said that was two
- 10:02Speaker 3: minutes and 18 seconds that back and forth.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Yep.
- 10:04Speaker 3: There was two minutes and 18 seconds of you who
- 10:07Speaker 3: you've angered your wife. He said, Hey, are we okay?
- 10:11Speaker 3: And she goes, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm
- 10:15Speaker 3: just looking after my children. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm
- 10:17Speaker 3: not that old. I'm not even 30. I'm fine.
- 10:19Speaker 1: I'm fine.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I'm fine. I'm fine. That's what it sounded like to me.
- 10:24Speaker 3: It was like, I think that he knows that he's
- 10:27Speaker 3: in for now a more reduced role. And that's not
- 10:31Speaker 3: something he signed up with. An interesting part of that
- 10:33Speaker 3: answer was this though. They have a plan for me.
- 10:37Speaker 3: And he talked about why would they put me in
- 10:39Speaker 3: in the second half when we're winning by a lot?
- 10:42Speaker 3: And you want me to stay healthy. he's almost talking
- 10:45Speaker 3: as if they're going to limit my touches to keep
- 10:48Speaker 3: me healthy for the long haul. Is that what I heard? Like,
- 10:52Speaker 3: did you guys pick up on that? Is the plan here?
- 10:56Speaker 3: Like we need JK Dobbins healthy for later in the year.
- 10:59Speaker 3: So if we're up in the second half and we
- 11:01Speaker 3: can give carries to Jonah Coleman instead of him, so
- 11:03Speaker 3: he doesn't take a beating, then let's do that. Like
- 11:05Speaker 3: maybe bottom line is I've watched all season.
- 11:09Speaker 1: You're right. Mojo.
- 11:10Speaker 3: I don't think it was in this answer, but he
- 11:11Speaker 3: did go on to say, um, Look at the defenses
- 11:15Speaker 3: I've played. And again, my response is like, okay, good
- 11:20Speaker 3: backs find a way. I don't know what to tell you, dude. Like,
- 11:23Speaker 3: it just typically that happens. Good backs just kind of
- 11:26Speaker 3: make things work, you know?
- 11:28Speaker 2: I don't know that he's going to be a malcontent
- 11:30Speaker 2: inside the room, though. I just think that it's the
- 11:33Speaker 2: outlet for him. to plead his case is with Mike
- 11:37Speaker 2: Kliss or with Jeff Legwald or whomever else. I don't
- 11:41Speaker 2: think you're talking about inside the room, inside the running
- 11:44Speaker 2: back room, with his coaching staff. I don't think he's
- 11:47Speaker 2: a bad guy or a malcontent.
- 11:49Speaker 7: I don't get that feeling.
- 11:50Speaker 1: No, he's a fun-loving dude. He's already displayed that.
- 11:53Speaker 2: He's a very likable guy. He really is a very
- 11:57Speaker 2: likable dude.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:01Speaker 7: Bo Nix is especial.
- 12:05Speaker 3: But all I'm saying is, that entire answer just felt
- 12:10Speaker 3: like the trophy wife who just saw for the first
- 12:18Speaker 3: time the au pair that was hired. And she's like,
- 12:21Speaker 3: what is she doing in my house?
- 12:25Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
- 12:26Speaker 3: It's how it feels. And I think a lot of
- 12:29Speaker 3: this has to do with, you know, if this is
- 12:34Speaker 3: Dobbins being replaced by Jonah Coleman, Dobbins status as a
- 12:38Speaker 3: number one back in the league is done forever, right?
- 12:40Speaker 3: He's never getting that job again. This is sort of
- 12:42Speaker 3: his last chance at it. And then you start to
- 12:44Speaker 3: look back at your career and you start to play
- 12:46Speaker 3: the what if game. What if I didn't have a
- 12:49Speaker 3: Liz Frank last year? What if my Dean didn't blow
- 12:52Speaker 3: out in year two? What if all these different things,
- 12:54Speaker 3: because he does have a career where you could look
- 12:56Speaker 3: back and be like, dude, if this didn't happen, I
- 12:59Speaker 3: could have been one of the top backs in the league.
- 13:01Speaker 3: He had that ability.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Somebody asked the question, 3-3-3-6, and legit questions. Every question
- 13:06Speaker 1: here is legit, and that's fine going back and forth
- 13:09Speaker 1: on this. Hey, Vic, if somebody asked you the same
- 13:12Speaker 1: thing about your rec team, would you respond the same way? Yeah, well,
- 13:16Speaker 1: you have a slew of reporters that cover our DAC
- 13:18Speaker 1: Rec League. He's competitive. He wants to keep his spot.
- 13:22Speaker 1: That's fine. Nobody minds a competitive person, but it wasn't
- 13:27Speaker 1: a combative question. It's not Mike's fault that he got
- 13:31Speaker 1: that many reps. It's not the reporter's fault. He's just
- 13:34Speaker 1: asking the obvious. I mean, I don't understand. I mean,
- 13:39Speaker 1: you can be competitive and not come off that way,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know. Listen, at the end of
- 13:46Speaker 1: the day, does it really bother me? Not one bit.
- 13:49Speaker 1: Not one bit. It doesn't bother me. It's just surprising.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think it's interesting.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Yeah. That's all. Not one bit.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Now we can get into the actual game here because
- 13:58Speaker 3: I got a thought on I was trying to figure
- 14:03Speaker 3: out why I felt as confident as I did. Like,
- 14:06Speaker 3: I'm almost nervous at how confident I am in this
- 14:09Speaker 3: game now. And I think I have a reason for it,
- 14:12Speaker 3: and we'll get to it in just a couple of minutes.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Get ready for Sunday's huge Denver KC game with DMACC
- 14:17Speaker 3: and all your favorite or least favorite Altitude hosts. The
- 14:21Speaker 3: Altitude kickoff show starts Sunday at noon. It's presented by
- 14:23Speaker 3: Redbird Farms. What real chicken tastes like? Listen on 92.5
- 14:27Speaker 3: or watch on YouTube, Twitch, or Twitter. Back after this.
- 14:32Speaker 3: How can you trust a man who eats 7-Eleven burritos
- 14:36Speaker 3: and Pop-Tarts with Diet Cokes every morning? Do not trust
- 14:40Speaker 3: Mark Mosier. Do not trust him with your children. Vote
- 14:44Speaker 3: no to Mark Mosier and vote yes to your children's health.
- 14:48Speaker 3: I'm Brett Kane, and I approve this message.
- 14:50Speaker 7: You know what I can't believe? Here's what I can't believe.
- 14:57Speaker 3: On the spotlight football Friday?
- 14:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:59Speaker 2: The Denver Broncos are a home dog. They are 16-1
- 15:03Speaker 2: in their last 17 home games. And they are a
- 15:07Speaker 2: home dissolve.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I'm going to say two things today.
- 15:12Speaker 2: You're not comprehending this, Vic. You're not getting it. Your
- 15:15Speaker 2: camelback trip, I think, messed up your brain.
- 15:17Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
- 15:18Speaker 3: Did you go up the camel? I rode a camel yesterday.
- 15:21Speaker 2: Look at me.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I thought that political attack ad was hilarious, by the way.
- 15:26Speaker 1: The one where you hit Mosier up hard. Did anybody
- 15:30Speaker 1: get that or? Yeah, everybody gets it. We're just having
- 15:33Speaker 1: some fun this election season.
- 15:35Speaker 7: I've got some coming.
- 15:37Speaker 1: For virtually everybody.
- 15:38Speaker 3: I've just always wanted to say about a politician, do
- 15:40Speaker 3: not trust him with your children. But hang on, hang on.
- 15:46Speaker 3: I'm going to say two things today that are going
- 15:47Speaker 3: to sound insane. Number one, I am so confident that
- 15:54Speaker 3: the Broncos win this weekend. I feel great. I'm uncomfortable.
- 15:57Speaker 7: Why do I feel so good?
- 15:59Speaker 3: Here's number two that we'll get to later. I'm very
- 16:02Speaker 3: confident the Buffs are going to win this weekend.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Really? Yeah.
- 16:06Speaker 7: Why aren't your folks out here for that game?
- 16:12Speaker 3: They're coming in a couple weeks.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Okay.
- 16:13Speaker 3: For baby Bo Val's first birthday. Can you believe she's
- 16:16Speaker 3: almost won? Isn't that crazy?
- 16:17Speaker 7: Well, I guess I can because you took all of
- 16:20Speaker 7: last year off.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Well, you took half the year off.
- 16:22Speaker 3: It's because I don't trust you with my children.
- 16:23Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why.
- 16:26Speaker 3: But I think the Buffs are going to win. I'll
- 16:28Speaker 3: explain that later. But Here's the reason why I'm so confident, okay?
- 16:34Speaker 3: I'll just give you a little bit, again, we played
- 16:35Speaker 3: this a couple days ago, but this is Nick Benito saying,
- 16:38Speaker 3: what has film been like this week? And he said,
- 16:40Speaker 3: VJ has just made us watch every snap of that
- 16:45Speaker 3: KC game from week one.
- 16:46Speaker 4: I mean, VJ was like the main one.
- 16:47Speaker 6: I mean, he's still like, damn, he wants to throw
- 16:50Speaker 6: up every time he has to look back at that
- 16:51Speaker 6: week one film. And it's because he knows that's not
- 16:54Speaker 6: our type of football that he's used to seeing it.
- 16:57Speaker 6: He wants us to be as prepared as possible, whether
- 16:59Speaker 6: it's tackling this week and being able to get our
- 17:01Speaker 6: bodies on guys in practice.
- 17:03Speaker 3: I think he'll have us ready to play for sure.
- 17:05Speaker 1: What was that debrief like?
- 17:08Speaker 3: With that, I think that Vance Joseph is going to have,
- 17:12Speaker 3: first of all, he's got something up his sleeve for
- 17:16Speaker 3: KC this week. But if all you need to do,
- 17:20Speaker 3: and I think this is it, all you need to
- 17:22Speaker 3: do is limit Kenneth Walker on the ground. Maybe not
- 17:26Speaker 3: do what the Seahawks did. 36 yards rushing. Maybe it's
- 17:29Speaker 3: like 70 yards rushing. Tell me who Mahomes throws the
- 17:33Speaker 3: ball to. I'm going to give you some names. You
- 17:36Speaker 3: guys want to hear the wideouts for KC this year?
- 17:38Speaker 2: Well, I know who they are, which is why they're
- 17:41Speaker 2: talking about making a deal for a wideout before the deadline.
- 17:43Speaker 3: So Rasheed Rice might be back. Might be back this week.
- 17:47Speaker 3: But even still, he had 13 catches in four games.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Here's some of the wideouts that he's thrown to.
- 17:51Speaker 1: He hurt the Broncos. Jalen Royals.
- 17:55Speaker 7: Isn't that a Utah State kid?
- 17:58Speaker 3: How about Cyrus Allen?
- 18:00Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know that guy.
- 18:00Speaker 3: How about Andrew Armstrong?
- 18:04Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, Andy.
- 18:05Speaker 3: How about Austin Johnson? I'm sorry, Austin Johnson, I made
- 18:10Speaker 3: that up. Because it doesn't matter. These are the names
- 18:13Speaker 3: of the Chiefs wide receivers. And now that Sertan, two
- 18:17Speaker 3: full practices in a row, looks like he's going to
- 18:18Speaker 3: be back this week. Limit Kenneth Walker on the ground forever.
- 18:24Speaker 3: What's the counterpunch that the Chiefs offense has? Because against Seattle,
- 18:27Speaker 3: it was nothing. We have nothing.
- 18:31Speaker 1: You know, the best news to emerge yesterday is Zach
- 18:33Speaker 1: Allen was upgraded to limited at practice. So we'll see
- 18:36Speaker 1: where he ends up on the injury list this week.
- 18:39Speaker 1: But Zach Allen being in the middle is going to
- 18:41Speaker 1: make a big difference. You're right. I think Kansas City's
- 18:44Speaker 1: only option is to completely sell out and try to
- 18:47Speaker 1: run as much as they can. I mean, force feed
- 18:50Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker and the Broncos have to withhold. They have
- 18:54Speaker 1: to be strong. And if they're not strong, it's a
- 18:58Speaker 1: different game.
- 18:59Speaker 3: It's just, what's weird, Moj, I almost have no care
- 19:04Speaker 3: for what the offense does because it just do something
- 19:08Speaker 3: and I think you win.
- 19:10Speaker 7: I think that's it.
- 19:11Speaker 3: I don't see the Chiefs putting up 20 points in
- 19:13Speaker 3: this game. I don't see it. You aren't going to
- 19:16Speaker 3: tackle as poorly as you did in week one. And
- 19:19Speaker 3: if you sell out to stop Kenneth Walker, and it
- 19:21Speaker 3: sounds weird, doesn't it? and make the Chiefs throw the
- 19:24Speaker 3: football with Patrick Mahomes. But, you know, they have one
- 19:28Speaker 3: receiver this year that has over 13 catches. Xavier Worthy,
- 19:33Speaker 3: who's bad, by the way.
- 19:36Speaker 7: He's fast.
- 19:38Speaker 1: He can't catch. Can't catch.
- 19:40Speaker 7: Can't catch the football, but boy, can he run. He's fast.
- 19:44Speaker 3: So what?
- 19:45Speaker 7: I know, I'm just.
- 19:48Speaker 3: If this was the 100-meter, then I'd be really scared.
- 19:50Speaker 3: of Xavier Worthy.
- 19:52Speaker 1: So, you're not afraid of what they have to offer,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and yet they beat you pretty soundly the first go-around. Yeah, but...
- 20:00Speaker 1: I'm just here, I'm here not to dissuade your mindset,
- 20:04Speaker 1: because I don't disagree with you. I think the Broncos
- 20:07Speaker 1: should and will win this game. But I'm here to
- 20:09Speaker 1: remind you that just because they don't have name players
- 20:12Speaker 1: at those positions doesn't mean they don't have players. It
- 20:15Speaker 1: doesn't mean that their quarterback is able to make a
- 20:18Speaker 1: name out of somebody, if you know what I mean.
- 20:21Speaker 3: It's been a while to try that. It hasn't really happened.
- 20:25Speaker 3: I mean, even last year. Last year they weren't good offensively.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Can I ask you this? If Kenneth Walker, if they
- 20:32Speaker 3: didn't have that, if Kenneth Walker re-signed with the Seahawks, okay?
- 20:36Speaker 3: And they went back with the same running group that
- 20:37Speaker 3: they had last year. What's the Chiefs record? Because I
- 20:40Speaker 3: think they're sub 500. I think that Kenneth Walker means
- 20:44Speaker 3: that much to their success. Now, in all of this,
- 20:48Speaker 3: one thing that we haven't mentioned or I haven't mentioned
- 20:51Speaker 3: is the Broncos offense. Because I have no idea. Can
- 20:57Speaker 3: you guys venture a guess of what we're going to
- 20:59Speaker 3: see from the offense this week?
- 21:00Speaker 7: I wouldn't even begin to speculate, Brett.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Well, you know what I want to see? I want
- 21:06Speaker 1: to see the same mentality. Start the game with a
- 21:09Speaker 1: deep shot.
- 21:10Speaker 4: Why not?
- 21:11Speaker 1: That's fine. That's what I want to see. Whether or
- 21:14Speaker 1: not they'll go that direction remains to be seen.
- 21:17Speaker 2: I've been investigating the Kansas City defense here a little bit.
- 21:22Speaker 2: And they're pretty good against the run. They're not so
- 21:28Speaker 2: great against the pass. So if you'd like to, and
- 21:32Speaker 2: I don't know what the story is with Snead. I
- 21:33Speaker 2: have no idea. If you'd like to go that route, Vic,
- 21:36Speaker 2: and you want to throw the ball early, I'm here
- 21:38Speaker 2: for it. I'm again in the Vic Lombardi camp. Of?
- 21:45Speaker 7: Throw the pig around to start things out.
- 21:46Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Push it.
- 21:49Speaker 7: Am I losing my voice?
- 21:50Speaker 1: I hope not.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Well, you don't got a game tonight, so you'd be okay.
- 21:54Speaker 1: That's true.
- 21:55Speaker 2: I'm in the Vic Lombardi camp of let's throw the
- 21:58Speaker 2: rock from the get-go, all right?
- 22:00Speaker 7: Let's see what they got. I feel very, very confident
- 22:04Speaker 7: and very comfortable with this game.
- 22:05Speaker 1: I really do.
- 22:06Speaker 3: The texture says they still have Travis Kelsey.
- 22:08Speaker 4: You know what?
- 22:10Speaker 3: Watching Kelsey move hurts me. It hurts me. It reminds
- 22:17Speaker 3: me when Jason Witten retired and then came back from retirement,
- 22:20Speaker 3: and he caught his first pass and ran for like
- 22:22Speaker 3: five yards, and it took 10 seconds for him to
- 22:26Speaker 3: run five yards.
- 22:27Speaker 7: It looked like he had a piano on his back.
- 22:28Speaker 1: And it was just, ow! He's still more productive than
- 22:32Speaker 1: what you have.
- 22:34Speaker 3: He gets thrown the football. You're right about that.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Obviously, he's not the same player, clearly, but he's still
- 22:43Speaker 1: their most productive tight end. Well, yeah.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Look, he's still going to be productive in the same
- 22:49Speaker 3: way that all these different guys. Witten was still productive
- 22:52Speaker 3: when he came back from retirement. Gronk was still productive
- 22:55Speaker 3: in Tampa Bay.
- 22:56Speaker 2: I mean, look, if you throw the football to Travis Kelsey,
- 22:58Speaker 2: he's probably going to catch it.
- 23:00Speaker 1: 24 catches this year. He's a leading receiver. Average is
- 23:06Speaker 1: 14 to catch.
- 23:07Speaker 7: Because he can still catch the football, Vic.
- 23:08Speaker 2: I think what Brett's getting at is what does he
- 23:10Speaker 2: do after he catches the football?
- 23:13Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. But, I mean, it's
- 23:15Speaker 1: easy to say, oh, he's not the same. Of course
- 23:17Speaker 1: he's not the same. He's a lot older. Of course
- 23:19Speaker 1: he's not. But he's still their most productive pass catcher.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Do you know.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Sorry, this is going to be stupid. Can I do
- 23:28Speaker 3: my impression of Travis Kelsey getting out of bed in
- 23:30Speaker 3: the morning? Can you guys indulge me?
- 23:33Speaker 1: All right, you ready? Yeah. All right.
- 23:36Speaker 3: Oh!
- 23:40Speaker 6: Oh!
- 23:47Speaker 1: You realize that's every person above the age of 30.
- 23:49Speaker 1: All right, hang on, hang on, hang on. That's not
- 23:54Speaker 1: even getting out of bed. That's turning, that's tossing and turning.
- 23:57Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on, I gotta walk to the bathroom.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on, I gotta turn the light on.
- 24:00Speaker 9: Hang on, you.
- 24:06Speaker 1: Gotta.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Let me lift the toilet seat up now.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Oh!
- 24:14Speaker 7: You make yourself laugh, don't you? I mean, look at him.
- 24:17Speaker 7: He's killing himself.
- 24:18Speaker 1: It's not that funny. I know.
- 24:20Speaker 7: I mean, it's mildly amusing. It's not.
- 24:25Speaker 1: You know what I've noticed about him? He makes fun
- 24:28Speaker 1: of the elderly a lot. He does. What do you mean?
- 24:31Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey is my age.
- 24:32Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, dude. And what happened to you when
- 24:34Speaker 7: you put up a shower curtain? It hurt.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:36Speaker 7: What happened? Hey, hey, hey, hey, Brett.
- 24:41Speaker 1: What happened to you?
- 24:42Speaker 7: Let me adjust the shower curtain.
- 24:45Speaker 3: See, it's fun, isn't it?
- 24:46Speaker 7: How bad was your wrist?
- 24:47Speaker 1: Your wrist was bad for a week.
- 24:48Speaker 3: It's my knuckles, not my wrist.
- 24:50Speaker 1: When you, with your buddies, and you decided to sprint
- 24:52Speaker 1: for the first time in years, what happened?
- 24:54Speaker 3: I popped my.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Ow!
- 24:56Speaker 7: My hamstring. I mean, we're making fun of them. We're
- 25:01Speaker 7: making fun of Kansas City, right, I guess? Yes.
- 25:04Speaker 1: It's allowed.
- 25:04Speaker 2: What's amazing to me is I heard earlier that you
- 25:07Speaker 2: have Chiefs fans that love to chime in.
- 25:10Speaker 7: Where are they coming from?
- 25:12Speaker 1: These people.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Hang on, let me give Taylor Swift a hug real quick.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Hang on.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Hey, baby, how you doing this morning? Good morning.
- 25:22Speaker 2: I swear to the Lord above, I'm not doing this
- 25:24Speaker 2: all day. You can have your little fun for this segment,
- 25:26Speaker 2: but I am not doing this for the next two
- 25:29Speaker 2: and a half hours.
- 25:29Speaker 3: You got to tell me, though, screaming after that is fun.
- 25:33Speaker 3: It is fun to do. And this is Travis Kelsey
- 25:39Speaker 3: turning his car on. You ready? Anyway, all right, we
- 25:46Speaker 3: can move on. People are saying it's funny. I don't
- 25:49Speaker 3: care what you guys say. I'm having a good time.
- 25:51Speaker 3: I'm having a really good time this morning. Bottom line is,
- 25:56Speaker 3: I don't know what the Broncos offense is going to do.
- 25:58Speaker 3: And to be honest, I don't really care. I think
- 26:00Speaker 3: this is all about completely limiting the Chiefs offense. And
- 26:04Speaker 3: I think they're totally capable of it. And that's where
- 26:06Speaker 3: my confidence stems from. It's just, I think the VJ
- 26:08Speaker 3: is going to have a plan that, I think Mahomes
- 26:12Speaker 3: is going to be in hell.
- 26:13Speaker 1: Like, I really do. I do, too.
- 26:16Speaker 2: I think they're going to be all over his bacon
- 26:17Speaker 2: all day long. And again, this is predicated on Zach
- 26:20Speaker 2: Allen being able to play and play effectively.
- 26:25Speaker 7: Okay? Yeah.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Again, Vic, we've all had hammies to one degree or another.
- 26:30Speaker 2: He was upgraded to limited, whatever that looks like in practice.
- 26:36Speaker 2: He's a tough dude. I'm sure he'll probably give it
- 26:38Speaker 2: a go. But how effective is he going to be?
- 26:41Speaker 2: Because those guys in the middle, man, their legs are everything.
- 26:46Speaker 4: Everything.
- 26:48Speaker 1: So, 303-504-0925.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Shop Mazda, text line, one price, one person, one hour. So,
- 26:54Speaker 3: I was watching Thursday Night Football last night. I was
- 26:56Speaker 3: bothered by something. And it wasn't just the Packers winning.
- 27:03Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs scored. Did you guys see what he did
- 27:06Speaker 3: when he scored? So, what's the story behind Josh Jacobs
- 27:10Speaker 3: this year?
- 27:11Speaker 7: He's been on the exempt list or whatever you call it.
- 27:14Speaker 3: Yes.
- 27:15Speaker 7: The Jonathan Cooper thing. For what?
- 27:18Speaker 1: Domestic violence.
- 27:19Speaker 7: Allegedly domestic violence.
- 27:20Speaker 4: Yes.
- 27:22Speaker 3: So he gets off the exempt list. And look, Josh
- 27:24Speaker 3: Jacobs is a really good player. No doubt about it. Nellie,
- 27:26Speaker 3: I just DM'd you something. Can you pull the video
- 27:28Speaker 3: up behind me? There's something that he did after he
- 27:32Speaker 3: scored that I think is pretty gross. So he got
- 27:36Speaker 3: in trouble for alleged domestic violence. He scores a touchdown.
- 27:42Speaker 3: So they're all in the end zone celebrating. And this
- 27:46Speaker 3: is what he chooses as his celebration for his touchdown
- 27:49Speaker 3: in this win over the Panthers. All of his teammates
- 27:52Speaker 3: go around. They start slapping him on the helmet. And
- 27:54Speaker 3: as he's in the end zone, he puts his hands
- 27:57Speaker 3: behind his back and does a perp walk.
- 28:03Speaker 1: Ooh.
- 28:05Speaker 3: What'd you think about that?
- 28:06Speaker 1: Why would he do that?
- 28:07Speaker 4: No.
- 28:09Speaker 3: I mean, that is what's happening, right?
- 28:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not a fan of that. I mean, why
- 28:15Speaker 1: would you bring that image back up? Are you mocking
- 28:19Speaker 1: the system? Are you mocking the punishment? Are you mocking yourself?
- 28:22Speaker 1: What are you mocking? What is the point of that?
- 28:25Speaker 3: If Jonathan Cooper gets a sack this weekend and does that,
- 28:27Speaker 3: we're all like, that's disgusting.
- 28:29Speaker 2: It's completely inappropriate, especially with what he's been accused of.
- 28:33Speaker 3: That's the thing. Like, I just, I couldn't, I saw
- 28:36Speaker 3: it live and I went, did he just? And I
- 28:38Speaker 3: ignored it because I was like, I must have saw
- 28:39Speaker 3: something wrong.
- 28:40Speaker 1: I thought it was a square dance move at first.
- 28:43Speaker 3: But that is what I'm describing, right? That is what
- 28:46Speaker 3: he's doing.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Yeah, he says mimicking himself in handcuffs, that's not what
- 28:52Speaker 2: he was doing. He denies that he did that. But
- 28:55Speaker 2: it sure looks like that's what he did.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
- 29:00Speaker 7: So, I don't know.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Like I said, I'm only asking you guys because that's
- 29:04Speaker 3: a lot of what it looked like to me. If
- 29:07Speaker 3: it wasn't, it wasn't. But I was like, what? What
- 29:11Speaker 3: is that? Because that would seem a weird thing to
- 29:13Speaker 3: shine a light on.
- 29:16Speaker 7: Incidentally, though, did you see what happened to Christian Watson
- 29:18Speaker 7: last night?
- 29:19Speaker 1: Yeah, he leaves in an ambulance and comes back to
- 29:22Speaker 1: the game.
- 29:22Speaker 7: Well, he went to the hospital, I believe, didn't he?
- 29:26Speaker 7: Didn't he go to the hospital in an ambulance and
- 29:28Speaker 7: then he comes back?
- 29:28Speaker 3: I just remember he got in the back of the ambulance.
- 29:30Speaker 3: I don't know if it left or anything.
- 29:32Speaker 2: No, I think he went to the hospital, I think.
- 29:37Speaker 2: You know, I'd have to look at it more.
- 29:38Speaker 9: That's what they said on the broadcast, that he was
- 29:41Speaker 9: going to hop in the ambulance and go to a
- 29:42Speaker 9: local hospital to have his chest evaluated. That's at least
- 29:45Speaker 9: what Al Michaels and Herbie were saying. Or maybe it
- 29:48Speaker 9: was the sideline reporter, but that was the initial report
- 29:50Speaker 9: before he did his WWE-style rejoining the game later.
- 29:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:57Speaker 7: What is it?
- 30:00Speaker 2: Somebody said it's the second greatest Christian comeback, Christian rising
- 30:04Speaker 2: in history, right?
- 30:05Speaker 7: Yeah, something like that.
- 30:06Speaker 3: I think PFT from Barstool said it.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
- 30:09Speaker 3: The greatest Christian comeback in history.
- 30:13Speaker 7: Hold on. It's got to be the second greatest.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Steve, hit that when I get up. Ready?
- 30:19Speaker 7: It does look like it.
- 30:21Speaker 4: See?
- 30:21Speaker 3: Isn't that fun?
- 30:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Ah, Camelback was hard on me.
- 30:30Speaker 7: The camel was what on you? I'm sorry, Vic. I
- 30:40Speaker 7: just caught a piece of that.
- 30:41Speaker 4: What did you say?
- 30:41Speaker 2: The camel did what to you?
- 30:46Speaker 1: You know what's funny? As I'm doing that yesterday, I'm
- 30:48Speaker 1: thinking of something.
- 30:49Speaker 7: I'm standing way over here.
- 30:51Speaker 1: I couldn't hear you. I'm standing halfway up this.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Don't say that about me. I've done it before. I've
- 30:56Speaker 3: done Camelback. Camelback was harder than me, too.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Mojo, I swear to God, Mojo would get halfway and
- 31:05Speaker 1: ask for a copter heli rescue. There's no way I'd
- 31:08Speaker 1: do it.
- 31:08Speaker 7: You wouldn't do it?
- 31:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd ask for a copter heli rescue. Yeah, that's
- 31:12Speaker 2: what I would do. Jesus, what are we doing this morning?
- 31:15Speaker 2: You and your broken backs and you and your getting
- 31:17Speaker 2: accosted by camels?
- 31:19Speaker 1: I'm out, man. I'm out.
- 31:20Speaker 3: So I do want to discuss what's going to happen tonight.
- 31:24Speaker 3: In Phoenix. And something that Vic said yesterday that I
- 31:26Speaker 3: think for sure should be the move moving forward. We'll
- 31:29Speaker 3: get to it next. By the way, wonderful look today, Nelly.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Nelly is Ron Burgundy. Nelly's got that facial hair where
- 31:37Speaker 3: he has a full beard in like eight hours.
- 31:39Speaker 1: Correct.
- 31:40Speaker 7: That is correct.
- 31:41Speaker 1: You had a full beard like at seven.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Vic, turn your camera on. Tomorrow I'm going to be
- 31:45Speaker 2: something where I'm going to have to draw a fake
- 31:47Speaker 2: beard on my face.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Don't do it. I have to. Just buy one.
- 31:53Speaker 7: Well, no, it's got to be like a single day's growth,
- 31:57Speaker 7: but I can't. I'm not like Nelly.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Kevin Federline?
- 32:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wake up in the morning and then
- 32:02Speaker 2: by 3 in the afternoon look like, you know, I've
- 32:05Speaker 2: got a beard going on.
- 32:06Speaker 1: I can't do that. You want that coffee green thing.
- 32:07Speaker 1: You need that 5 o'clock shadow, right? That's what you want.
- 32:10Speaker 2: I'm just going to get it like an eyeliner and
- 32:11Speaker 2: just do some stuff.
- 32:14Speaker 3: I did that for one year. I went as Ali G.
- 32:18Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 32:19Speaker 3: And I did the eyeliner just as the goatee. It
- 32:22Speaker 3: looked great. It's my favorite costume I've ever done. And
- 32:25Speaker 3: I'm not a costume guy, but I thought of it
- 32:26Speaker 3: and I was like, I have to do this. Got
- 32:28Speaker 3: the do-rag and everything. It's perfect. So I get that.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Put some eyeliner on there. Nuggets and Sons tonight. Vic,
- 32:36Speaker 3: you said something.
- 32:37Speaker 1: I forgot my teeth.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Literally only something that Vic and an 85-year-old person would say.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Only you. I can't believe it.
- 32:49Speaker 3: I can't believe I forgot my teeth. Nuggets and Suns tonight.
- 32:56Speaker 3: You said something yesterday, Vic, that I totally agree with,
- 32:59Speaker 3: which is having another big athletic guy on the floor
- 33:04Speaker 3: with Joker as almost like a security guard for the
- 33:07Speaker 3: middle of the paint. Like, if you want to come
- 33:09Speaker 3: in here, it's not just beating Joker anymore. It's also
- 33:12Speaker 3: you got to look out for a Brazil or you
- 33:14Speaker 3: got to look out for a Bagley. And the more
- 33:17Speaker 3: I thought about it, I don't think this is such
- 33:20Speaker 3: a crazy idea. Trevon Brazil, I don't know what he's
- 33:24Speaker 3: going to be. I know one thing for certain with
- 33:27Speaker 3: him through four games that I think we know. He's
- 33:30Speaker 3: a gigantic athletic guy, okay? That's what we know. He
- 33:35Speaker 3: can jump around the gym. I don't know if he
- 33:37Speaker 3: can shoot consistently. I don't know if he's got much
- 33:39Speaker 3: of an offensive game. I don't know if that's going
- 33:41Speaker 3: to translate. I don't know a lot of things, but
- 33:43Speaker 3: I know that this guy is lanky and athletic and big.
- 33:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:47Speaker 3: And I think the idea of putting him in the
- 33:50Speaker 3: starting lineup permanently, at least for the foreseeable future, even
- 33:56Speaker 3: if Cam Johnson gets back to healthy, maybe he comes
- 33:59Speaker 3: off the bench as a shooter. Like, I'm starting to
- 34:01Speaker 3: be intrigued by this idea.
- 34:04Speaker 1: It's interesting. I had this discussion yesterday with Katie and
- 34:07Speaker 1: Noah as we're ascending Camelback, like Everest. And I said,
- 34:13Speaker 1: you know, They need a shot creator with that second unit.
- 34:16Speaker 1: It cannot rest on the shoulders of Jamal Murray when
- 34:19Speaker 1: he has to play with the backups. And Katie said,
- 34:21Speaker 1: you know, Cam Johnson can handle that. He can provide
- 34:24Speaker 1: some shot making. And she's right. I think you're on
- 34:28Speaker 1: to something as well, my friend. I think Cam Johnson
- 34:31Speaker 1: off the bench would be a great idea. Not a
- 34:34Speaker 1: good idea. A great idea.
- 34:35Speaker 7: So what are you saying then? You leave the kid
- 34:38Speaker 7: in the start and you bring him off?
- 34:42Speaker 1: There's a lot of moving parts there, but I wouldn't
- 34:45Speaker 1: mind that at all because you offer some defensive support
- 34:49Speaker 1: for Joker. He's proven that he's ready for the moment.
- 34:53Speaker 1: He can play defense. They've got enough offense. The offense
- 34:57Speaker 1: has never been the issue for the starting five on
- 34:59Speaker 1: this team. Has it? It's never been the issue. The
- 35:02Speaker 1: issue's been what happens when the starting five comes off
- 35:04Speaker 1: the court. How do they generate offense? So if you
- 35:06Speaker 1: leave Cam on the court and stagger him with another starter...
- 35:12Speaker 1: At least he gives you something. I love that idea.
- 35:15Speaker 1: I really do.
- 35:16Speaker 3: I just, I'm going back and looking at this. The
- 35:19Speaker 3: Nuggets had the number one offense in the league last year.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Number one.
- 35:24Speaker 3: And it resulted in nothing. First round exit. This team's
- 35:28Speaker 3: at its best, and I think this team, they're built
- 35:30Speaker 3: in a certain way, just with the core that they have.
- 35:35Speaker 3: They should focus, as they did in the championship season,
- 35:39Speaker 3: defense first. They won multiple playoff games hitting less three
- 35:45Speaker 3: or less threes in a game. They won like three
- 35:47Speaker 3: games during that playoff run doing that because it didn't matter.
- 35:50Speaker 3: They played defense and they're really good inside. They're a
- 35:52Speaker 3: good mid-range team and at the rim. And I was
- 35:55Speaker 3: so surprised in the years afterwards where it was like
- 35:58Speaker 3: there was this concerted focus on like, we got to
- 36:00Speaker 3: be better at three-point shooting.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I'm like, do you?
- 36:03Speaker 3: You're pretty good at the other stuff. If the threes fall, great.
- 36:06Speaker 3: If not, if you play defense, you can still win.
- 36:08Speaker 3: And like last year, That had to be, Vic, the
- 36:14Speaker 3: most prolific three-point shooting season in Nuggets history, right?
- 36:16Speaker 1: It was the most accurate. It was the most accurate
- 36:18Speaker 1: three-point shooting team. They had the best percentage in the
- 36:22Speaker 1: league last year. Tim Hardaway Jr.
- 36:25Speaker 3: wasn't he second all-time in threes in a season last
- 36:28Speaker 3: year in Nuggets history?
- 36:29Speaker 1: And Jamal Murray was the best on the team last year.
- 36:31Speaker 3: And I think he was number one.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's been part of the... backslide this year
- 36:37Speaker 1: is that they've started poorly shooting threes. Jamal Murray's the
- 36:40Speaker 1: only one shooting threes better than he did a year ago.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Right now, everybody else is really backslid hard.
- 36:45Speaker 3: But I'm like, play good defense and dominate the paint
- 36:50Speaker 3: in the mid-range.
- 36:51Speaker 7: They're good at that.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Like, DeMar DeRozan's game is mid-range. It's been that for
- 36:55Speaker 3: 18 years. He takes a 15-footer and he makes it.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Joker's entire career has been, like, we said it after
- 37:02Speaker 3: this last game against the Pelicans, Moj. Joker shot zero threes,
- 37:06Speaker 3: and I'm like, good. That means the team's operating well.
- 37:09Speaker 2: I have no problem with that. I mean, you have
- 37:12Speaker 2: to at least have a threat out there so that
- 37:16Speaker 2: the opposing teams will guard you on the perimeter. That'll
- 37:21Speaker 2: open up the inside, so you at least have to
- 37:23Speaker 2: have that sort of threat. But I don't need a
- 37:25Speaker 2: billion makes every single game. I don't need to go
- 37:27Speaker 2: full-on Boston Celtics in their championship year where you're throwing
- 37:30Speaker 2: up 50 threes in a game.
- 37:31Speaker 7: It'd be ridiculous.
- 37:33Speaker 3: It just felt like that's not them.
- 37:34Speaker 7: No, it is not them. And if it's not you,
- 37:37Speaker 7: then don't force it. Play your game. There's nothing wrong
- 37:40Speaker 7: with the way that you score the basketball and the
- 37:42Speaker 7: way you win. There's nothing wrong with that.
- 37:44Speaker 3: Dan Hyatt just texted me. He said, last year, the
- 37:46Speaker 3: Nuggets had the highest three-point percentage of any NBA season
- 37:49Speaker 3: with at least 35 attempts per game. And again, it
- 37:52Speaker 3: resulted in a first-round exit. I don't think that that's
- 37:56Speaker 3: the secret recipe.
- 37:58Speaker 2: But at the same time, you're also sort of correlating Well,
- 38:02Speaker 2: you know, don't do it because it was a first-round exit. Well,
- 38:04Speaker 2: there were many reasons for the first-round exit. Hey, by
- 38:07Speaker 2: the way, watching Christian Brown make that steal and that
- 38:11Speaker 2: dunk the other night, Rick, Vic, I guess it was
- 38:14Speaker 2: a layup at the rim.
- 38:16Speaker 1: No, no, he dunked it.
- 38:17Speaker 7: Did he dunk it?
- 38:17Speaker 4: Okay.
- 38:17Speaker 1: He dunked it. Yeah, he dunked it right side.
- 38:19Speaker 2: And I'm thinking to myself, you know what? He couldn't
- 38:21Speaker 2: do that in the first round last year. He could
- 38:24Speaker 2: not elevate to dunk a basketball last year.
- 38:26Speaker 1: In fact, now, you know what it felt like for
- 38:28Speaker 1: him to elevate as he was trying to dunk last year?
- 38:31Speaker 1: He's going up.
- 38:34Speaker 3: Okay.
- 38:35Speaker 1: You know what, though? That wasn't the shooting. That wasn't
- 38:41Speaker 1: the exploit of CB that I was most proud of.
- 38:44Speaker 1: It was him making those threes late. That was the shot.
- 38:47Speaker 3: But here's how I think about it. What happened last year?
- 38:51Speaker 3: The most prolific offense that the Nuggets had, the best
- 38:53Speaker 3: offense in the NBA. They didn't make shots in the
- 38:57Speaker 3: playoffs last year. Remember, their offense was a problem.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:00Speaker 3: Because three-point shooting can go. You know what usually doesn't go?
- 39:06Speaker 2: Layups.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Ten-footers. That stuff is way more consistent. And it almost
- 39:12Speaker 3: felt like you were just forcing an issue. And that's
- 39:14Speaker 3: all I'm saying, Moj. I'm not saying that you need
- 39:16Speaker 3: to have three-point shooting. You absolutely do.
- 39:19Speaker 2: And I think about, listen, is there anybody who's more
- 39:23Speaker 2: of a fan in the mid-range game than me? Is
- 39:26Speaker 2: there anybody on this program who likes the mid-range more?
- 39:30Speaker 1: Than I do? I was never aware of your fascination
- 39:33Speaker 1: with the mid-range. Sorry, this is a first for me.
- 39:35Speaker 2: You like a good drop step. There's two things in
- 39:38Speaker 2: life that I love in basketball. A good mid-range shot. Hell,
- 39:43Speaker 2: you can shoot from the elbow all day long for me.
- 39:46Speaker 7: Daddy likey.
- 39:47Speaker 2: And I love me a good baseline drop step. I
- 39:52Speaker 2: see a baseline drop step, dude, and you know what
- 39:54Speaker 2: that does to me? That brings back Hakeem, you know,
- 39:57Speaker 2: Hakeem Olajuwon thoughts in my head. It warms the cockles
- 40:01Speaker 2: of my heart.
- 40:03Speaker 7: Love it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: The Nuggets are pretty damn good against Phoenix. They've won
- 40:08Speaker 1: five in a row. The Suns are a bit of
- 40:10Speaker 1: a mess right now. They're having a point guard issue.
- 40:13Speaker 1: They added a couple players that just don't fit in.
- 40:16Speaker 1: This team is not as good as it was a
- 40:18Speaker 1: year ago. Remember, that was a surprise roster a year ago.
- 40:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:21Speaker 1: They won a lot more games than people anticipated. I
- 40:23Speaker 1: don't think they're the same team. So, winnable game. Certainly
- 40:28Speaker 1: one they could lose as well, but a winnable game tonight.
- 40:31Speaker 1: And if you play with the same defensive intensity you
- 40:33Speaker 1: displayed in New Orleans, you come back home and you
- 40:36Speaker 1: got a winning record again.
- 40:38Speaker 3: Texture says, Mosher calling Vic Rick. Vic saying, copter helly.
- 40:45Speaker 3: This first hour has been something.
- 40:46Speaker 7: It's been something, all right.
- 40:48Speaker 3: What is with you, copter helly? Helly Buck, what's with
- 40:51Speaker 3: your hellies right now?
- 40:53Speaker 1: Well, you got to remember, I'm an hour earlier in
- 40:55Speaker 1: Phoenix until the time change on Sunday. So I'm in
- 40:58Speaker 1: the 6 a.m. hour right now. So my body clock
- 41:01Speaker 1: is not, I don't do this. Mojo, I swear to God,
- 41:05Speaker 1: Mojo would get halfway and ask for a copter helicopter rescue.
- 41:13Speaker 1: I sound like a fool when I hear myself.
- 41:15Speaker 3: I'll tell you what. That helicopter would get there extra
- 41:18Speaker 3: quick if you called 911 and said, I need a
- 41:20Speaker 3: copter heli.
- 41:22Speaker 1: True story. True story. On this climb, right, it's like
- 41:27Speaker 1: there's three climbs. There's Everest, K1, and Camelback in that
- 41:31Speaker 1: order in terms of difficulty and risk. But on this climb,
- 41:38Speaker 1: like a month ago, some guy halfway up, There's a
- 41:42Speaker 1: bunch of bees that you see. He was stung like
- 41:44Speaker 1: 35 times. They had to bring that heli to take
- 41:48Speaker 1: him off the mountain.
- 41:48Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
- 41:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 41:50Speaker 3: If you were attacked by a swarm of bees, it
- 41:53Speaker 3: would be.
- 41:53Speaker 7: Mosher's friends.
- 41:54Speaker 3: No.
- 41:54Speaker 1: Mosher's friends.
- 41:55Speaker 7: Well, the problem with Arizona is.
- 41:57Speaker 3: Friends. They went full Jim Jones.
- 42:00Speaker 10: These might be Mosher. They all took the Kool-Aid and
- 42:06Speaker 10: was like, I'm out. I don't want to hear this
- 42:09Speaker 10: guy anymore. Can you imagine those poor bees in the hive? Oh, God,
- 42:12Speaker 10: here he comes again. Guys, let's just end it.
- 42:17Speaker 2: The problem with Arizona, now that I'm a bee guy,
- 42:21Speaker 2: is that they have those damn Africanized honeybees that escaped
- 42:25Speaker 2: from Brazil in the 50s, made their way all the
- 42:29Speaker 2: way up to Arizona.
- 42:30Speaker 4: And what they do.
- 42:33Speaker 7: You know what happens, right? They're incredibly aggressive. They will
- 42:36Speaker 7: chase you far and swarm you. Yeah, it's terrible. They
- 42:40Speaker 7: kill people.
- 42:40Speaker 1: I'm going to send you a video. Nelly, I'm going
- 42:43Speaker 1: to send you the video right now of the beehive.
- 42:47Speaker 1: There's like everywhere you go, there's beehives. And they form
- 42:50Speaker 1: on the side of the rock. And if you get
- 42:52Speaker 1: too close, they will hurt you.
- 42:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Thousands of them.
- 42:56Speaker 3: By the way, Mosher, you're going to be at Bally's tonight?
- 42:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to go to Bally's tonight. The huge
- 43:00Speaker 2: poker tournament starts at 7 o'clock. There's a bounty on
- 43:04Speaker 2: my head, by the way, if you knock me out.
- 43:06Speaker 2: You're going to get hockey tickets, signed sticks, all kinds
- 43:11Speaker 2: of stuff.
- 43:12Speaker 3: I'm all in.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Right.
- 43:14Speaker 7: See, here's the problem. I've done this before.
- 43:18Speaker 2: And the problem is when there's a bounty on me,
- 43:20Speaker 2: people do stupid things. And sometimes when you do stupid things,
- 43:25Speaker 2: you get paid off, and I hate that.
- 43:27Speaker 5: Yep.
- 43:28Speaker 2: I hate stupid poker players who do stupid things and
- 43:32Speaker 2: then they win.
- 43:34Speaker 7: I don't like that. I don't like getting rivered, bro.
- 43:38Speaker 7: I don't like getting sucked out on.
- 43:39Speaker 1: I hate it.
- 43:40Speaker 3: You can go all in against Mosier and try to
- 43:42Speaker 3: win some stuff.
- 43:43Speaker 7: That being said, I'm bringing my A game tonight.
- 43:46Speaker 3: What time?
- 43:47Speaker 1: 7 p.m.
- 43:48Speaker 7: I'm going to get up there.
- 43:48Speaker 4: Here's what I'm going to do.
- 43:50Speaker 7: I'm going to get there about 5.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Can you put 20 on black for me?
- 43:54Speaker 1: No.
- 43:54Speaker 7: I'm going to get there about 5. I'm going to
- 43:57Speaker 7: have me a little Dinsky, right?
- 43:58Speaker 1: A little Dinsky.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You're going to get yourself prepared.
- 44:03Speaker 2: A little Dinsky, a little psychological warfare, and then I'm
- 44:06Speaker 2: going to go to town because I can win.
- 44:08Speaker 3: So it's 7 o'clock at Bally's. Go beat Mosier at
- 44:10Speaker 3: the poker table back after this. Mark Mosher is a
- 44:13Speaker 3: terrible beekeeper.
- 44:15Speaker 9: Mark Mosher doesn't know how to keep bees alive, that is.
- 44:19Speaker 9: He killed his entire hive. What other skeletons does Mark
- 44:23Speaker 9: Mosher have in his closet?
- 44:25Speaker 1: Mark Mosher, bad for bees, bad for Colorado.
- 44:28Speaker 9: I'm Steve Nelson, and I approve this message.
