- 0:32Speaker 2: I'm Brian.
- 0:32Speaker 4: No, it for big Ben Maler. Now we get to
- 0:34Speaker 4: the baseball. We get to the Dodgers speaking of suck, right?
- 0:39Speaker 4: Like we started off with the sucky quarterback play on
- 0:41Speaker 4: Thursday night. How about the Dodgers in the NLCS? Now, listen,
- 0:46Speaker 4: this is not going to be just bash the Dodgers
- 0:48Speaker 4: and give the Brewers minimal props. No, the Brewers deserve
- 0:53Speaker 4: a lot of praise. They played great, completely outplayed the Dodgers.
- 0:57Speaker 4: Their bullpen was outstanding and, The Dodgers had a runner
- 1:03Speaker 4: at third base in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings.
- 1:06Speaker 2: No runs.
- 1:07Speaker 4: That's wild to me. So you have to praise the Dodgers.
- 1:11Speaker 4: I'm sorry, the Brewers' bullpen. The way they outslugged the Dodgers.
- 1:17Speaker 4: The way they manufactured runs against the Dodgers. Brewers hit
- 1:21Speaker 4: more home runs in this series than L.A. And then
- 1:25Speaker 4: they also play, you know, they manufacture runs.
- 1:27Speaker 2: They steal bases. They bunt.
- 1:29Speaker 4: They put a lot of pressure on you. And so listen,
- 1:32Speaker 4: they earned it to have comeback wins in all four
- 1:36Speaker 4: games is crazy to me.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I saw the score.
- 1:40Speaker 4: So I was flying here from Vegas to LA more
- 1:43Speaker 4: details on that and how frontier airlines is dead to
- 1:47Speaker 4: me going forward. Like there are things I hate in life.
- 1:53Speaker 4: Frontier airlines is shooting up the list. I mean, just,
- 1:58Speaker 4: rapidly rising in the power rankings of hatred right there.
- 2:01Speaker 4: But when I was flying over to, to LA, I looked,
- 2:08Speaker 4: I saw, I had an update Fox sports, little update.
- 2:11Speaker 4: And they're like, yeah, show. Hey, Ohtani three run Homer
- 2:15Speaker 4: Dodgers up for nothing. And I'm sitting on the plane
- 2:18Speaker 4: and I can't be the only one who was thinking, well,
- 2:21Speaker 4: you know, maybe they found a little offense. Maybe this
- 2:24Speaker 4: will wake up show. Hey, Their pitching is outstanding. Maybe
- 2:28Speaker 4: you win a couple of games to get a little momentum.
- 2:32Speaker 4: All of a sudden, maybe the Brewers is starting to
- 2:35Speaker 4: press a little bit. Like I started thinking like that.
- 2:38Speaker 4: They didn't even win game four. The Dodgers didn't even
- 2:41Speaker 4: win game four series done.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Unreal.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Now, I also think this because we'll get into the
- 2:49Speaker 4: whole payroll thing. There's a lot that's made about that.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Of course, the Dodgers have this huge payroll. The Brewers,
- 2:57Speaker 4: a very, very modest payroll. And a lot of it's
- 3:00Speaker 4: going to be, hey, I guess payroll doesn't. Oh, I guess,
- 3:05Speaker 4: you know, it's going to be all that silliness. Listen,
- 3:08Speaker 4: can we be reasonable here? A huge payroll. It doesn't
- 3:12Speaker 4: guarantee anything. but it gives you consistently a better chance
- 3:19Speaker 4: than the lower payroll teams.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:21Speaker 4: With the Brewers sweeping the Dodgers, it doesn't like thus
- 3:26Speaker 4: mean these like meager payroll squads. There's going to be
- 3:32Speaker 4: crushing the big payroll squads left and right. It's like,
- 3:35Speaker 4: let's be reasonable about this.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Are there years where the small payroll teams win?
- 3:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:41Speaker 4: We just saw it. Tampa just swept the, The Yankees,
- 3:45Speaker 4: the Brewers just swept the Dodgers. It can happen. Is
- 3:49Speaker 4: it going to happen on the regular this time and
- 3:52Speaker 4: time again?
- 3:52Speaker 3: No.
- 3:53Speaker 4: So let's not act like this is the new norm.
- 3:56Speaker 4: You can just spend, you know, basically a dollar 95
- 3:59Speaker 4: and just, you know, win the world series, win the pennant.
- 4:03Speaker 4: you know, just print championships left. Yeah.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Oh, you've got a high payroll. Oh yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 4: That's, that's old news, man. Money ball, money ball all
- 4:10Speaker 4: the way around. That's the way you want to do it. Like,
- 4:12Speaker 4: no man, there are going to be exceptions to the rule.
- 4:15Speaker 4: There are going to be things that, that ebb and flow.
- 4:19Speaker 4: The high payroll teams are not always going to win,
- 4:22Speaker 4: but let's not go the complete other direction and recorrect the,
- 4:27Speaker 4: And all of a sudden, I guess, I guess having
- 4:29Speaker 4: a big payroll doesn't mean anything.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Really?
- 4:31Speaker 4: They just won two world series. Let's not forget about that.
- 4:34Speaker 4: I also think that's something else you got to consider.
- 4:39Speaker 4: And this, I don't want this to sound too Pollyannish, right?
- 4:43Speaker 2: Too foo-foo.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I don't mean it like that. But trying to three-peat
- 4:48Speaker 4: is incredibly difficult. The path, the long path toward three-peating,
- 4:55Speaker 4: the grind of that, the wear and tear of that.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Look at the Dodgers, man. They just look like an old,
- 5:02Speaker 4: just out-of-gas squad. They're just completely out of gas. And
- 5:08Speaker 4: I think there is something to be said about if
- 5:10Speaker 4: you look at the Dodgers trying to three-peat and how
- 5:13Speaker 4: that blew up in their face, look at the Chiefs
- 5:17Speaker 4: and how they tried to three-peat a couple of years back.
- 5:20Speaker 2: And they got.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Crushed by the Eagles. And then last year, the wheels
- 5:26Speaker 4: came completely off the tracks. And they're winning, what, six games?
- 5:31Speaker 6: Unreal.
- 5:34Speaker 4: So it takes a ton out of you. And, uh,
- 5:38Speaker 4: That's what we saw on this NLCS.
- 5:40Speaker 2: I really do.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Like, think of it like this. Anybody who's talking about
- 5:43Speaker 4: the brewers. My gosh, I don't know what's going on
- 5:47Speaker 4: with my voice right now. I've got like this.
- 5:50Speaker 7: Clear it out. Clear it out.
- 5:51Speaker 4: It's like this stinging feeling in my trachea right there.
- 5:55Speaker 7: You know, do you need a throat lozenge? I can
- 5:57Speaker 7: go get you one out of the medical case.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Man, that's very nice of you, Lorena. I might need
- 6:02Speaker 4: a throat lozenge.
- 6:03Speaker 2: I'll go get you one.
- 6:03Speaker 4: I might need that. But yeah, there's a fire in
- 6:05Speaker 4: my throat for a second. I think it's better now, bud. Yeah,
- 6:09Speaker 4: like trying to three-peat.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Look at the Brewers.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Just to show how it's not just the payroll that's
- 6:15Speaker 4: an uneven playing field. Dodgers had a huge payroll. Brewers didn't.
- 6:20Speaker 4: What's also an uneven playing field is the Dodgers trying
- 6:25Speaker 4: to three-peat and the Brewers just trying to get to
- 6:29Speaker 4: the World Series for the first time in 44 years. Okay,
- 6:32Speaker 4: like that's not the same thing. Let's put it like this.
- 6:37Speaker 4: If the Brewers win a World Series this year, they
- 6:40Speaker 4: win a World Series next year, and then they're in
- 6:42Speaker 4: the NLCS in 2028, that would be a more even
- 6:48Speaker 4: playing field to what the Dodgers were just doing right now, right?
- 6:52Speaker 4: So let's not make it only about payroll. Let's also
- 6:56Speaker 4: consider the wear and tear of trying to go for
- 6:58Speaker 4: a three-peat because that matters. And again, I don't want
- 7:01Speaker 4: to make it sound like, oh, the poor Dodgers. I'm
- 7:05Speaker 4: not making it sound like that, but you got to
- 7:06Speaker 4: be reasonable. And the wear and tear, the grind of
- 7:10Speaker 4: trying to three-peat, that directly ties into them getting swept
- 7:15Speaker 4: and not being able to hold one lead. They're up
- 7:17Speaker 4: 4-0 in Game 4.
- 7:20Speaker 2: They don't even win that game.
- 7:22Speaker 4: So look, you got to give the Brewers a ton
- 7:24Speaker 4: of credit. They completely outplayed the Dodgers. They earned it.
- 7:28Speaker 4: They didn't just barely win. They didn't get a fluky
- 7:31Speaker 4: win here or there. Weird call there. They swept them
- 7:35Speaker 4: and came back every single time. They deserve praise. At
- 7:39Speaker 4: the same time, there's a little bit of nuance to this.
- 7:42Speaker 4: And the Dodgers going for a three-peat, the wear and tear.
- 7:45Speaker 4: That's obviously playing into the outcome of that series.
- 7:48Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
- 7:50Speaker 4: Hey, 877-99-ON-FOX is your phone number. Love to hear from
- 7:54Speaker 4: the Belisha, especially in person over here in L.A., the L.A.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Studios.
- 8:00Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, they've done a great job with
- 8:01Speaker 4: this place. And I see that we can play audio, too.
- 8:05Speaker 4: You've got a little spot to hook up your audio
- 8:07Speaker 4: stuff and bada-bing, bada-boom, you can play stuff on the show.
- 8:12Speaker 4: This is outstanding. I was thinking I was going to
- 8:15Speaker 4: have to email Coop the Ryan Fitzpatrick sound of him
- 8:20Speaker 4: crushing Bo Nix, and the whole show was going to
- 8:23Speaker 4: be like, Hey, Coop, do.
- 8:24Speaker 2: We have that in the system yet? Not yet, Brian.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Not just not yet.
- 8:27Speaker 4: We don't have that just yet.
- 8:29Speaker 2: No, not.
- 8:30Speaker 4: But no, I believe I can play it. I believe
- 8:32Speaker 4: that's going to happen. Very excited about that. Very excited
- 8:35Speaker 4: about that. Also on X at the no show is
- 8:39Speaker 4: where you can find me. Feel free to tweet me
- 8:41Speaker 4: early often. all throughout the show. Love being interactive with
- 8:45Speaker 4: the militia. I have missed you so. So plenty to do.
- 8:48Speaker 4: I will get to the power rankings of hate right
- 8:52Speaker 4: around the corner, a little bit of story time, and
- 8:54Speaker 4: also the militia. You want to check in? Story time
- 8:57Speaker 4: can wait. We get right to the militia. Militia wants in.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Bob in Seattle wants to crush Sam Darnold.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Let's go, Bob. Let's go.
- 9:05Speaker 8: Get on.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Get in here.
- 9:07Speaker 4: You know, that's how we'll do it.
- 9:09Speaker 8: All right.
- 9:10Speaker 4: We will get to the power rankings of hatred coming
- 9:13Speaker 4: up next.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I'm Brian.

- 9:27Speaker 2: The real story isn't told on the field.
- 9:29Speaker 5: It's written in the lives of the people who left here,
- 9:31Speaker 5: who started as students in Happy Valley and became forces
- 9:36Speaker 5: in the world. This is Who We Are, Penn State,
- 9:39Speaker 5: brought to you by the Penn State Alumni Association, a
- 9:42Speaker 5: show where distinguished graduates return to share their stories. Hosted
- 9:47Speaker 5: by me, College Football Hall of Famer LeVar Arrington. Available
- 9:51Speaker 5: now on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
- 9:57Speaker 4: I want to go back because we had a call
- 9:59Speaker 4: about overtime, the coin toss, who gets the ball, all
- 10:04Speaker 4: that type of stuff. And look, it's the right strategy
- 10:09Speaker 4: for the Broncos to kick off because their defense was
- 10:13Speaker 4: playing great. Sam Darnold was a turnover machine, very skittish,
- 10:18Speaker 4: very skittish on Thursday night. And so in the Broncos
- 10:22Speaker 4: offense had played terribly awful, right? Bo Nix with only
- 10:27Speaker 4: barely over a hundred yards passing. They're not moving the ball.
- 10:30Speaker 4: Let me look at the stats in terms of a
- 10:32Speaker 4: team yardage. It's not going to be anything that jumps off.
- 10:37Speaker 4: They didn't even have 200 yards of total offense.
- 10:41Speaker 2: The Broncos.
- 10:42Speaker 4: I heard a stat that the Broncos on Thursday night
- 10:45Speaker 4: football had They averaged 2.9 yards per play. That's what
- 10:50Speaker 4: they did. That's brutal. So of course the right decision
- 10:55Speaker 4: was to kick off. And the Broncos relied on their
- 10:58Speaker 4: defense and they got a takeaway. They forced a turnover,
- 11:02Speaker 4: got a Sam Darnold interception, and then they only needed
- 11:05Speaker 4: a field goal to win it. So that was absolutely,
- 11:08Speaker 4: for many reasons, the right strategy. The question was, well, hey,
- 11:12Speaker 4: what if Seattle scored a touchdown? I mean, listen, if
- 11:16Speaker 4: Seattle scores a touchdown, it's game set match.
- 11:19Speaker 2: It's over.
- 11:20Speaker 4: You can't trust Denver and Bo Nix to score a
- 11:24Speaker 4: touchdown to, you know, either equalize it or most likely
- 11:27Speaker 4: they would have gone for two to try to win
- 11:29Speaker 4: the game. It's probably what would have happened. You can't
- 11:31Speaker 4: count on that happening, but the chances of Seattle just
- 11:35Speaker 4: driving right down and scoring another touchdown, they had scored their,
- 11:40Speaker 4: their touchdown in the fourth quarter to all of a
- 11:43Speaker 4: sudden catch fire again. and score another touchdown, I doubt it.
- 11:47Speaker 4: I would bet very heavily against that happening. And that's
- 11:51Speaker 4: what the Broncos did. The Broncos had not just under
- 11:55Speaker 4: 200 yards. They had 168 yards of total offense. And
- 12:01Speaker 4: I know you can sit here and be like, but
- 12:03Speaker 4: they won. And that's the ultimate trump card right there.
- 12:06Speaker 4: But they won.
- 12:07Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 12:07Speaker 2: That's right.
- 12:08Speaker 4: That's got to get World's better for them to do
- 12:11Speaker 4: anything of note this season. That's beyond brutal right there.
- 12:16Speaker 4: But that's the thing is, this doesn't just apply to
- 12:19Speaker 4: Thursday night football. This applies to the NFL as a whole.
- 12:23Speaker 4: The strategy of what you do in overtime, it can
- 12:26Speaker 4: change from time to time.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I think if.
- 12:30Speaker 4: You know, listen, if your offense is all of a
- 12:33Speaker 4: sudden it just found a gear and you're in a flow,
- 12:37Speaker 4: you've got momentum, maybe you do want the ball to
- 12:39Speaker 4: start off if you win the coin toss.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Maybe.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Maybe your defense is playing well enough where you feel
- 12:45Speaker 4: confident that you can score a touchdown, you can prevent
- 12:48Speaker 4: them from scoring a touchdown. Maybe receiving at times is
- 12:52Speaker 4: the right thing to do. But I think more times
- 12:54Speaker 4: than not, kicking off is the right thing. You know
- 12:57Speaker 4: what you need to do. If the other team kicks
- 12:59Speaker 4: a field goal, well, you win it with a touchdown.
- 13:01Speaker 4: If the other team scores a touchdown, well, you need
- 13:03Speaker 4: a touchdown. You're going for it on every fourth down.
- 13:06Speaker 4: And then if you do score a touchdown, you have
- 13:08Speaker 4: the option to go for two and the win or
- 13:13Speaker 4: most likely settle for the tie depending on how much
- 13:15Speaker 4: time is left. But that absolutely was the right decision
- 13:18Speaker 4: for the Broncos to kick off. And I'll say it again.
- 13:22Speaker 4: If the Seahawks win the toss, they're kicking off. They're
- 13:26Speaker 4: relying on their defense. And we might be talking about
- 13:29Speaker 4: a Seahawks win if they win the coin toss. That's
- 13:32Speaker 4: what's crazy to me is I think we've gotten away
- 13:36Speaker 4: because the rules are much different of, well, they used
- 13:39Speaker 4: to say this all the time and I totally disagreed
- 13:41Speaker 4: with it, but I understand where the point was coming from.
- 13:45Speaker 4: It always was said, well, whoever wins the coin toss
- 13:48Speaker 4: wins the game. I heard that a million times. And
- 13:52Speaker 4: it's like, not necessarily. You've got to just play defense.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I didn't have a problem. I would never go kicking
- 13:59Speaker 4: and screaming if my favorite team lost the overtime coin
- 14:03Speaker 4: toss and the other team only needed a field goal.
- 14:06Speaker 4: I still wasn't complaining about that. But I have no
- 14:11Speaker 4: sympathy for any team that lost the coin toss and
- 14:15Speaker 4: then gave up a touchdown and didn't get a crack
- 14:18Speaker 4: at it. They didn't get a possession. I have No
- 14:22Speaker 4: sympathy for you. It's like prevent a touchdown from being scored.
- 14:25Speaker 4: If you can't do that, I really don't think you
- 14:28Speaker 4: need or deserve a possession. But listen, it's entertaining when
- 14:32Speaker 4: both teams get a possession. And all I'm saying is,
- 14:37Speaker 4: although it doesn't mean the same thing and you're not
- 14:39Speaker 4: going to hear that probably ever again of, well, whoever
- 14:42Speaker 4: won the coin toss, they won the game. But whoever
- 14:46Speaker 4: won the coin toss on Thursday night football between the
- 14:49Speaker 4: Broncos and Seahawks, they're kicking off and they have a
- 14:54Speaker 4: major advantage from that point on.
- 14:58Speaker 2: So I don't know.
- 14:59Speaker 4: I don't, I still think the coin toss means a
- 15:01Speaker 4: ton is what I'm getting at. It doesn't mean the same,
- 15:04Speaker 4: but it still means a lot. The parallel would be,
- 15:08Speaker 4: You hear this a lot where, you know, like look
- 15:11Speaker 4: at where football once was, where you could deplete defenseless receivers.
- 15:17Speaker 4: There was no such thing as a defenseless receiver. The
- 15:20Speaker 4: Deacon Jones day, you could head slap someone and go
- 15:24Speaker 4: around the edge and, and root to the quarterback, get
- 15:26Speaker 4: a sack and all.
- 15:27Speaker 2: The rules have changed a ton.
- 15:29Speaker 4: It was far more barbaric way back when that doesn't
- 15:33Speaker 4: mean that it isn't incredibly physical right now. That's the
- 15:38Speaker 4: mistake a lot of people make is like, oh, it's
- 15:40Speaker 4: two-hand touch now. It's, you know, we're playing tiddlywinks out there.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Watch these games. Watch the hits. Watch the collisions. These
- 15:49Speaker 4: are still ridiculous collisions out there. So it's the same
- 15:53Speaker 4: thing with the overtime coin toss. Just because it's changed
- 15:58Speaker 4: doesn't mean that, you know, it's done a 180, right?
- 16:03Speaker 4: Like the coin toss used to mean everything, quote-unquote, right?
- 16:06Speaker 4: And now it doesn't mean anything. It still means a ton. Granted,
- 16:10Speaker 4: it doesn't mean the same as it once did, but
- 16:12Speaker 4: it still means a lot. The game isn't as physical
- 16:18Speaker 4: and as barbaric as it once was with a lot
- 16:21Speaker 4: of things being outlawed. You can't land on a quarterback.
- 16:25Speaker 4: Think about when Tony Saragusa did the nasty plunge on
- 16:29Speaker 4: top of rich Gannon. You can't do that anymore.
- 16:32Speaker 6: Right?
- 16:33Speaker 4: Like it's been outlawed. So it used to be way
- 16:35Speaker 4: more barbaric. And a lot of people make the mistake
- 16:38Speaker 4: of saying, well, it's two hand touch. It's like, no dude,
- 16:41Speaker 4: not at all. Some of these collisions are train wrecks.
- 16:46Speaker 4: So like, I think that people get that wrong where
- 16:50Speaker 4: it has changed a lot. And they overstate the change, right?
- 16:55Speaker 4: Like the coin toss and the overtime rules have changed
- 16:59Speaker 4: so much that I think they're no longer saying the
- 17:05Speaker 4: coin toss means as much as it really does right now.
- 17:07Speaker 4: It means a ton, still means a ton. Game is
- 17:10Speaker 4: still incredibly physical, although a lot of things have been outlawed.
- 17:14Speaker 2: It can be both.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Just because a lot of things have been outlawed doesn't
- 17:19Speaker 4: mean it's no longer really physical. It is. It's look
- 17:23Speaker 4: at the injury reports.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Like it's not tiddlywinks out there.
- 17:27Speaker 2: All right.
- 17:27Speaker 4: They're still, they're still getting after each other. Eight, seven,
- 17:30Speaker 4: seven 99 on Fox is your number. I want to
- 17:33Speaker 4: go out to Joel is in Seattle. Let's get some
- 17:35Speaker 4: Seattle flavor on the show. Shall we? Joel's got a
- 17:38Speaker 4: thought on a Thursday night football. What's going on, Joel?
- 17:41Speaker 8: How are you doing tonight?
- 17:42Speaker 2: Pretty good.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Well, it's tough being a Seattle sports fan, but Hey,
- 17:51Speaker 8: Hey man, we need a running back.
- 17:55Speaker 2: You do.
- 17:55Speaker 4: And you had one. That's a sad thing, isn't it?
- 17:58Speaker 4: It's gotta be rough to see him doing what he's
- 18:00Speaker 4: doing with the chiefs.
- 18:03Speaker 8: Well, I kind of enjoy it, but.
- 18:09Speaker 4: You, you love misery is what you're telling us here, Joel, right?
- 18:12Speaker 4: Like I'm sure you're happy that he's doing well, but
- 18:15Speaker 4: you'd have to want him to be doing well for
- 18:17Speaker 4: your team though.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Right?
- 18:20Speaker 8: Yeah, it's tough to see our quarterback throw into a
- 18:23Speaker 8: sea of orange jerseys.
- 18:26Speaker 4: He's so bad. I don't know what to tell you, man.
- 18:29Speaker 8: He really isn't. He's a good quarterback.
- 18:34Speaker 4: He's not this year, and he wasn't on Thursday night.
- 18:37Speaker 8: Yeah, Kirk Street pointed something out. Did you watch his
- 18:41Speaker 8: footwork on that one play?
- 18:44Speaker 4: Well, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of plays where
- 18:47Speaker 4: he could point to that.
- 18:49Speaker 8: But I think really the bad thing was our offensive
- 18:53Speaker 8: line didn't give him any time.
- 18:58Speaker 4: No, they didn't, but he compounded it. You know, he
- 19:01Speaker 4: made things worse. By the way, Joel, what's going on?
- 19:04Speaker 4: Is it bath time today? What is that in the background?
- 19:06Speaker 4: I'm so curious. It sounds like water is just kind
- 19:09Speaker 4: of like, you know.
- 19:11Speaker 8: No, just fans.
- 19:14Speaker 2: What is it?
- 19:14Speaker 7: Staying cool with fans.
- 19:15Speaker 2: Fans. Oh, it's fans. Okay. Yeah.
- 19:18Speaker 4: No water.
- 19:19Speaker 8: No rain.
- 19:21Speaker 2: That's good.
- 19:22Speaker 4: Got to stay cool with fans.
- 19:23Speaker 8: Every now and then.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Wow.
- 19:26Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 19:28Speaker 4: Hot in Seattle tonight. Hot one right there.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Crazy.
- 19:32Speaker 8: So obviously we're, now we're like four games out.
- 19:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 19:37Speaker 2: That's not good. Well, yeah.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I mean, you're basically like, I don't know how you
- 19:42Speaker 4: look at two and a half.
- 19:44Speaker 2: Because the head to head loss.
- 19:46Speaker 5: Right.
- 19:46Speaker 4: You're three and three Niners five and oh. So really,
- 19:49Speaker 4: it'd be like it's almost like three full games.
- 19:52Speaker 6: Right.
- 19:52Speaker 4: You're like two and a half back, but you lost
- 19:54Speaker 4: the head to head. So not great.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Not great.
- 19:57Speaker 8: Right. You got any good news.
- 20:01Speaker 6: Or.
- 20:02Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 20:02Speaker 4: About Seattle. Well, I mean, great music scene. Outstanding music
- 20:06Speaker 4: scene over there in Seattle.
- 20:07Speaker 8: Right.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Some of the greats. I mean, Hendricks. Goodness.
- 20:12Speaker 5: Hart.
- 20:12Speaker 4: Right, Coop?
- 20:13Speaker 2: That's right. Love Hart. Absolutely. Seattle.
- 20:16Speaker 4: You know, the grunge era.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Music.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Music should cheer you up there, Joel. As far as sports,
- 20:22Speaker 4: I don't have much for you. Outstanding defense. But offensively,
- 20:28Speaker 4: outside of JSN, I got nothing for you.
- 20:32Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 20:33Speaker 2: OK, great call, Joel.
- 20:39Speaker 8: You know.
- 20:43Speaker 6: Seeing how bad Sam Darnold is, it just makes me
- 20:46Speaker 6: and it's and I can't it's hard to say this
- 20:47Speaker 6: now with with how bad Bo Nix has been playing,
- 20:50Speaker 6: because everybody will just, you know, just jump in your face.
- 20:53Speaker 6: But I truly believe that if Bo Nix didn't get hurt,
- 20:58Speaker 6: the Broncos would be Super Bowl champions.
- 21:01Speaker 2: I don't.
- 21:02Speaker 4: And I believe they would have been in the super bowl.
- 21:05Speaker 4: That's not a leap, but to be champions, I don't know.
- 21:09Speaker 4: It would have been a better game than what we
- 21:11Speaker 4: got with the Patriots in there, but.
- 21:13Speaker 2: We'll never know.
- 21:14Speaker 6: You don't think that Broncos defense makes Sam Darnold see ghosts.
- 21:19Speaker 4: They could have, they, they, they very well could have,
- 21:22Speaker 4: you might be talking about a Broncos championship and Bo
- 21:26Speaker 4: Nix is the present day, Brad Johnson's slash Trent Dilfer.
- 21:31Speaker 6: Right?
- 21:31Speaker 4: Like we could, we could be talking about that.
- 21:34Speaker 2: It's possible.
- 21:36Speaker 4: There was a funny tweet. Let me get it for you.
- 21:39Speaker 4: It was sent to the group text. This guy, he
- 21:43Speaker 4: goes by state fair, Nick. He just wrote Sam. Darnold
- 21:47Speaker 4: is playing like Sam Darnold again. but not the Sam
- 21:50Speaker 4: Darnold that turned into Sam Darnold, the Sam Darnold before
- 21:54Speaker 4: Sam Darnold.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I mean, look, man.
- 22:00Speaker 4: It was an outstanding defense last year for the Seahawks.
- 22:04Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker meant a lot to that team. The running
- 22:07Speaker 4: game as a whole with both Kenneth Walker and Zach
- 22:10Speaker 4: Charbonnet meant a lot. Sam Darnold played well. Don't get
- 22:14Speaker 4: me wrong. He played great in the NFC title game
- 22:18Speaker 4: against the Rams who had no secondary, by the way,
- 22:20Speaker 4: no secondary. Sam Darnold, like the amount of praise I
- 22:25Speaker 4: heard for Sam Darnold last year, it showed you that
- 22:28Speaker 4: Sam Darnold is just a guy.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Okay. That's what it should have shown you. Why is that?
- 22:33Speaker 4: Because your reaction shows what you expect. You know, nobody,
- 22:38Speaker 4: if Mahomes puts up a season where he throws 25
- 22:40Speaker 4: touchdown passes and leads the league in turnovers, like Darnold
- 22:44Speaker 4: had 14 turnovers. He's fumbling left and right. He led
- 22:47Speaker 4: the league in turnovers. No one is doing backflips and
- 22:52Speaker 4: shirtless somersaults drooling over my home season where he's throwing
- 22:57Speaker 4: 25 touchdown passes, 14 interceptions. Nobody is doing that. But
- 23:01Speaker 4: with Sam Daryl doing it, it was like, well, look,
- 23:05Speaker 4: look at Sam. Look at, look at this guy.
- 23:08Speaker 2: He's balling out, man. Look at Sam.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Your reaction showed that you expected nothing from Sam Darnold
- 23:15Speaker 4: and rightfully so. But he's gone back to exactly what
- 23:19Speaker 4: he is. He's a journeyman quarterback in the NFL.
- 23:23Speaker 2: And he always will be. That's what he is.
- 23:26Speaker 4: He needs a lot around him. You need a great defense.
- 23:29Speaker 4: You need a great running game. You need a great
- 23:32Speaker 4: receiving threat. You have that. And you have a great defense.
- 23:36Speaker 4: You just don't have a running game that's reliable. Not
- 23:39Speaker 4: to the tune of what you had last season. And
- 23:41Speaker 4: you're seeing the warts. That's what you're seeing with Sam Darnold.
- 23:45Speaker 8: So, no.
- 23:47Speaker 4: Sam Darnold is Nick Foles-esque, right? Nick Foles, people got
- 23:53Speaker 4: mad at me. I was calling him Nick Fools, meaning
- 23:57Speaker 4: I take nothing away from him winning a Super Bowl
- 23:58Speaker 4: with the Eagles. That was one of the greatest postseason
- 24:01Speaker 4: runs you're ever going to see. And listen, the Philly
- 24:05Speaker 4: special will go down in NFL lore, Super Bowl lore,
- 24:09Speaker 4: the whole thing. He played great in that postseason. But
- 24:13Speaker 4: he was not a franchise quarterback going forward. He just wasn't.
- 24:18Speaker 4: And neither is Sam Darnold. He's not a franchise quarterback
- 24:22Speaker 4: where you can count on year in and year out
- 24:26Speaker 4: to get you to the promised land, to give you
- 24:28Speaker 4: a chance to win a Super Bowl because he's going
- 24:30Speaker 4: to be good enough to do so. To at least
- 24:33Speaker 4: give you a chance. You can't count on that every
- 24:35Speaker 4: single year. And you're seeing that.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Right.
- 24:39Speaker 4: Like, look at what it took to get there last season.
- 24:43Speaker 4: That is very hard to just copy and paste year
- 24:47Speaker 4: after year after year after year.
- 24:50Speaker 2: He's got to play better.
- 24:52Speaker 4: And even on a team that had all of that
- 24:55Speaker 4: great defense, one of the best receivers in the game
- 24:58Speaker 4: in JSN, he's still throwing 14 interceptions last season. And
- 25:04Speaker 4: it was nothing but an onslaught of praise and drooling and, ah,
- 25:09Speaker 4: Sam Darnold. It was like, what was it, the old
- 25:11Speaker 4: Saturday Night Live skit, Orgasm Boy? That's how it was,
- 25:15Speaker 4: where it was like game after game, like, oh, my gosh, ah,
- 25:19Speaker 4: Sam Darnold. I'm like, guys, he played all right. He
- 25:22Speaker 4: managed the game all right. Let's not go crazy. Let's
- 25:25Speaker 4: keep it in perspective over it. No, it wasn't slowing
- 25:28Speaker 4: anybody down. And now we're seeing Darnold. He walked into
- 25:31Speaker 4: that game with seven touchdown passes, five interceptions. He threw
- 25:39Speaker 4: two more. Seven and seven. That's what he's got this season.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Seven touchdown passes, seven picks. It's not good enough. It
- 25:47Speaker 4: just isn't. So, no, I'm not high on Sam Darnold
- 25:51Speaker 4: at all. And, listen, we'll get to– I think I'm
- 25:54Speaker 4: going to tease it all night. We've got some Bo
- 25:56Speaker 4: Nix sound. I don't know if it's ever going to
- 26:00Speaker 4: get played. I might have to email it over to
- 26:02Speaker 4: Coop and we'll get it in the system, but it
- 26:04Speaker 4: might be the only way to do so. You do?
- 26:08Speaker 2: I'll throw it your way.
- 26:09Speaker 4: I'll throw it because, yeah, there are a couple of
- 26:11Speaker 4: bells and whistles on that thing. Yeah, but we'll get
- 26:16Speaker 4: to that around the corner. And listen, if you want
- 26:18Speaker 4: to chime in about baseball, be my guest.
- 26:21Speaker 2: You know me.
- 26:22Speaker 4: I am a football addict. I am a ballaholic.
- 26:27Speaker 2: If you will.
- 26:27Speaker 4: So, you know, my focus goes straight to Broncos beating
- 26:31Speaker 4: the Seahawks. I still have many takes on baseball. If
- 26:35Speaker 4: you have takes, feel free to get them off. You're
- 26:37Speaker 4: more than welcome to get in here. The water is
- 26:39Speaker 4: just fine. It's very inviting. So yeah, you're more than
- 26:43Speaker 4: welcome to get your baseball takes in here as well.
- 26:46Speaker 4: I'm sure Ben would have many thoughts about the Dodgers.
- 26:48Speaker 4: I have thoughts as well. So we'll get to those
- 26:50Speaker 4: right around the corner. Dodgers go down in flames, getting
- 26:54Speaker 4: swept by the Brewers. Um, One Bo Nix. I don't
- 26:59Speaker 4: know Bo's middle name.
- 27:00Speaker 2: You know what, Coop?
- 27:01Speaker 4: Big Broncos fan? You know his middle name?
- 27:03Speaker 7: I'm going to guess Bo Anthony Nix.
- 27:06Speaker 4: Bo Anthony Nix. Bo Winner Nix. Bo Bailed Out Nix.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Maybe that's what it needs to be right there. By
- 27:15Speaker 4: the way, it's Sam Dick Darnold. That's a good one.
- 27:17Speaker 4: Sam Richard Darnold. You always remember that, right? Sam Dick
- 27:22Speaker 4: Darnold right there. Let's check out Bo Nix. Chapman.
- 27:24Speaker 5: Chapman.
- 27:25Speaker 4: No, are you kidding?
- 27:26Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right.
- 27:27Speaker 4: Bo Chapman Nix.
- 27:29Speaker 8: What?
- 27:31Speaker 5: What?
- 27:32Speaker 4: I wonder if that's, you know, whatever. Name in the family.
- 27:34Speaker 4: It's his uncle's name.
- 27:36Speaker 2: I don't know. Something.
- 27:37Speaker 4: Bo Chapman Nix. That doesn't even sound real. Wow, that
- 27:43Speaker 4: is crazy.
- 27:45Speaker 2: He has no nicknames.
- 27:46Speaker 4: How can that be? I love the nicknames, too, on
- 27:50Speaker 4: Pro Football Reference. I love these. Let me give you
- 27:53Speaker 4: a couple of them. Josh Allen, I know he has
- 27:55Speaker 4: a couple. Oh, there's one here. Josh Allen, Bill's quarterback.
- 27:58Speaker 4: Let me get it for you.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Hold on.
- 28:00Speaker 4: We got a couple of Josh Allen's here. Let me
- 28:03Speaker 4: get the right one.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Goodness.
- 28:05Speaker 4: My computer, dude. I cannot hit the button. Have you
- 28:10Speaker 4: ever heard Josh Allen, Bill's quarterback? Have you ever heard
- 28:14Speaker 4: him referred to as the general? I have never heard that.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Nope.
- 28:19Speaker 2: Have you heard J.A.
- 28:20Speaker 3: 17?
- 28:20Speaker 4: Never heard that. You have ever heard the winter soldier.
- 28:27Speaker 4: That's my favorite one. Have heard that one.
- 28:28Speaker 2: You have, you have, you've heard that. Yeah.
- 28:31Speaker 4: The winter soldier, Josh Allen, Bill's quarterback.
- 28:35Speaker 8: Wow.
- 28:35Speaker 2: I've never heard that.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Last one here.
- 28:37Speaker 2: Real fast.
- 28:38Speaker 4: I love this fun with nicknames. Tom Brady. Have you
- 28:42Speaker 4: ever heard? I know he has an eclectic one. So
- 28:46Speaker 4: by the way, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady right there.
- 28:49Speaker 2: TB 12.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Everybody knows that. Not as much Tom terrific. Haven't heard
- 28:54Speaker 4: a ton of that.
- 28:55Speaker 5: I heard.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Yeah. I have heard that. I was, I feel like
- 28:58Speaker 2: that was earlier on.
- 28:59Speaker 8: Really?
- 29:00Speaker 2: Touchdown. Tom.
- 29:01Speaker 4: Never heard that.
- 29:04Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:04Speaker 4: No, no.
- 29:05Speaker 2: The goat. Of course.
- 29:06Speaker 4: Right.
- 29:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Come back kid or sir.
- 29:10Speaker 8: Nope.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Nope.
- 29:14Speaker 4: And this is my favorite one. Are these on football reference? Yeah.
- 29:17Speaker 4: Pro football reference. It's my favorite one. Have you ever
- 29:20Speaker 4: in your life? heard Tom Brady referred to as the Pharaoh.
- 29:26Speaker 2: What a real thing. I'm looking at it right now.
- 29:33Speaker 2: Who has ever said that?
- 29:35Speaker 4: I've never heard that ever in my life.
- 29:38Speaker 2: The Pharaoh.
- 29:39Speaker 6: Speaker 0 7, that is wild.
- 29:43Speaker 4: Yeah. That's unbelievable right there.
- 29:45Speaker 8: Wow.
- 29:46Speaker 4: We're learning stuff left and right here. Good stuff.
- 29:49Speaker 3: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
- 29:51Speaker 3: show weekdays at 2 a.m. Eastern, 11 p.m. Pacific.
- 29:54Speaker 2: But this one's for you, buddy.
- 29:56Speaker 8: So happy birthday to me.
- 29:57Speaker 3: 33 is on Sunday and yours.
- 30:00Speaker 6: Coop's coupon entertainment, the Friday tradition away for.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Hollywood starts right now.
- 30:05Speaker 8: And here is none of that.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Justin Cooper, a Bronco fan on X all yours. Thank you, Marcel.
- 30:12Speaker 2: And happy early birthday. All right. Uh, We have a
- 30:17Speaker 2: lot to get to here on Scoop and Entertainment. Extensive list. Yes.
- 30:21Speaker 2: It's a bunch of stuff. So I'm going to.
- 30:24Speaker 6: I'm going to try and go extra quick here. We
- 30:28Speaker 6: start off in the theaters like we always do here
- 30:29Speaker 6: on Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
- 30:31Speaker 8: Really?
- 30:32Speaker 2: I didn't know that. Never a series, huh? Always a movie.
- 30:34Speaker 6: No, we start off in the theaters. And this weekend
- 30:37Speaker 6: we got four movies that I want to point out. First,
- 30:40Speaker 6: we're going to start off with Street Fighter. Yes, the
- 30:44Speaker 6: video game, another video game turned movie. A lot of
- 30:48Speaker 6: big Street Fighter fans out there. And as you would expect,
- 30:51Speaker 6: the critics think this is kind of meh. But the
- 30:54Speaker 6: fans love it. And, you know, that's kind of all
- 30:57Speaker 6: that matters when it comes to these type of movies.
- 30:59Speaker 6: So just some big names that are in this movie.
- 31:03Speaker 6: You've got Jason Momoa. You've got 50 Cent.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Our guy Curtis. That's right. All right. You
- 31:09Speaker 2: got Roman Reigns of, you know, WWE fame.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Can you tell Roman Reigns and Momoa apart? Yes.
- 31:17Speaker 6: Easily?
- 31:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 31:20Speaker 4: What if they dress the same?
- 31:22Speaker 6: I think I would be able to, just because I
- 31:24Speaker 6: know Jason Momoa so well. I don't know Roman Reigns
- 31:27Speaker 6: that well, because he was after my time watching WWE.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Wow, man. Okay. Out of the game. Yeah, basically, this
- 31:36Speaker 2: is the synopsis we got for you. Estranged Street Fighters
- 31:38Speaker 2: Ryu and Ken Masters get thrown back into combat when
- 31:41Speaker 2: the mysterious Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament.
- 31:45Speaker 2: A brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. Oof.
- 31:50Speaker 4: Sounds intense.
- 31:51Speaker 7: And a ridiculous popcorn bucket to go with.
- 31:53Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. The hat popcorn bucket. The hair.
- 31:56Speaker 2: It's like the hair. The hair popcorn bucket.
- 31:57Speaker 7: It's the hair of one of the characters.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I like it.
- 31:59Speaker 2: You can wear it. All right. You can wear the
- 32:01Speaker 2: popcorn bucket.
- 32:02Speaker 7: Yes, on your head.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:04Speaker 7: It's ridiculous.
- 32:05Speaker 6: Also out this weekend in theaters right now is Whale Fall.
- 32:09Speaker 6: Whale Fall.
- 32:10Speaker 4: That looks so bad.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yes, I'm excited about this one. It looks great. It
- 32:15Speaker 2: does look great. And you know what? The critics are
- 32:17Speaker 2: liking it as well.
- 32:18Speaker 8: Really?
- 32:19Speaker 6: Yes, so far it's got a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.
- 32:22Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Following the death of.
- 32:24Speaker 6: His father, Jay Gardner dives off California's central coast in
- 32:28Speaker 6: search of his remains, only to be swallowed by a
- 32:31Speaker 6: massive sperm whale. Trapped inside with one hour of oxygen,
- 32:34Speaker 6: Jay must draw on the lessons his father taught him
- 32:37Speaker 6: to escape. This is a whole, you know, hour and
- 32:41Speaker 6: 46 minute movie. From the inside of a whale. How
- 32:46Speaker 6: do they do it? I don't know, but I'm going
- 32:48Speaker 6: to find out.
- 32:49Speaker 2: You know what this reminds me of, Coop?
- 32:51Speaker 4: It sort of reminds me, if you told me the
- 32:53Speaker 4: plot of the movie Fall, remember they climbed that huge tower?
- 32:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that movie.
- 32:58Speaker 4: If you just told me the plot, I'd be like,
- 33:00Speaker 4: that sounds so dumb. It was actually pretty good, right?
- 33:04Speaker 4: Sweaty palms, the whole thing. Maybe this movie will be
- 33:06Speaker 4: like that, but it sounds dumb as hell. This one
- 33:10Speaker 4: stars Austin Abrams in the main role, Josh Brolin. I'm
- 33:15Speaker 4: assuming as the father. There's got to be flashbacks, obviously.
- 33:18Speaker 4: That's got to fill the time. And Elizabeth Shue as well.
- 33:23Speaker 4: Moving on to the next thing. I'm going to make
- 33:26Speaker 4: this one real quick. Every now and then I like
- 33:28Speaker 4: to point out a movie that those listening can bring
- 33:32Speaker 4: their wives to. Oh, how nice of you.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Yeah, Sense and Sensibility. It's the Jane Austen movie. You know,
- 33:42Speaker 6: make a happy wife, happy life, right?
- 33:44Speaker 8: Wow.

- 33:54Speaker 6: least in theaters, we've got You Can See Everything. Now,
- 33:58Speaker 6: this one's another one I'm really excited about. This is
- 34:01Speaker 6: the I guess it's a documentary, I guess so. So
- 34:06Speaker 6: it's about Elizabeth Holmes, the Silicon Valley founder who was
- 34:10Speaker 6: like a fraud and went to jail.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Apparently this is just a bizarre movie.
- 34:15Speaker 6: So 34 days before she's sent to prison, notorious Silicon
- 34:18Speaker 6: Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to
- 34:20Speaker 6: document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait
- 34:24Speaker 6: of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into
- 34:29Speaker 6: the abyss.
- 34:30Speaker 2: That's what the synopsis says.
- 34:32Speaker 6: And so far, this has got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
- 34:35Speaker 6: from the critics.
- 34:36Speaker 2: Nothing gets 100%. 100% and 99% from audiences. Oh, my God.

- 34:45Speaker 2: This is what everybody's talking about.
- 34:46Speaker 4: They need me to see this movie and I can
- 34:48Speaker 4: point something that's wrong with it.
- 34:50Speaker 2: You know, I can do that. Well, we'll see. We'll see.

- 35:02Speaker 6: Coop Scoop on Entertainment.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Oh, wow.

- 35:07Speaker 6: new documentary on Mike Tyson. It's just called Tyson. I'm
- 35:12Speaker 6: on the last episode. I believe it's like four or
- 35:14Speaker 6: five episodes. It's pretty great. I've been hooked on it.
- 35:18Speaker 6: And I, you know, I know Tyson's story just as
- 35:21Speaker 6: a sports fan.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Yeah.

- 35:38Speaker 6: I didn't realize how just dominant that guy was.
- 35:42Speaker 2: Oh, my God. It was insane.

- 35:47Speaker 6: and her mom and then them trying to take care,
- 35:51Speaker 6: like take over his finances.
