  Speaker 3: Now let's get this party started.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So I am told Taylor and Mikey A have found
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Adnan Virki will join us next segment.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Taylor and Mikey A wanted back in. I told them no.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I said, when I have proof of Adnan, you guys
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can come back in and rejoin the radio show. So Dan,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I have an idea here because you and I, we
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: did for a new affiliate. I think it was a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. We did a Mount Rushmore. It
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: was for our affiliate in Baltimore. We did a Mount
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Rushmore of Baltimore athletes. And you know this from doing
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: network radio for a long time. It very much pleased
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the affiliate. And the only time you hear from management
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is when you do something that pleases an affiliate. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard from management as much. I'm telling you,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it's been nearly a year. I've been here at Fox
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio and iHeart.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: No one calls me. No one says anything. They support me.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: They've been great. But I got 17 calls.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: After you and I did a Mount Rushmore Baltimore athletes
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: for our new affiliate in Baltimore.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Did you get the same?
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I heard some positive vibes, even though I think Ricardo
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and I were more on the same page than your
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: actual Mount Rushmore. But I think they loved it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah i know they loved it by the way.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: His his allowed me to form rushmore hill it's not
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: as big as mount rushmore but it could some of
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: these if you know cities where our affiliates are there
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: are a lot of great athletes that aren't going to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: make the mount rushmore so i've even decided to do
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a rushmore hill.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: If we need oh wow look at you yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: It's the second tier it's not as big as mount
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: rushmore it's but you know rushmore hills over there.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I understand um EP Jason, do you want to participate
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in this Mount Rushmore today, or what do you think?
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Let's do this. What city?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: We have a wheel of affiliates. We have so many
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: affiliates that I had to create a wheel. So I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: going to have Iowa Sam spin the wheel here. We'll
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: see what city it lands on, and we will do
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a Mount Rushmore for the affiliate in that city. Is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that a good way of doing this, you think?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So, Sam, why don't you spin the wheel, and you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have to tell me what city it lands on.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I can't see the wheel. It's in Sherman Oaks.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: All right, no problem.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Here we go. All right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, and it's.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Landed on Pittsburgh.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: A big day for WBGG 970 AM and WPGB 1047
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: FM in Pittsburgh.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: It is your day today.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You get a Mount Rushmore of Pittsburgh athletes from myself,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Dan Beyer, and EP Jason.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I will not. Do we have an Iowa affiliate? I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have no idea.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: We've got a bunch.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Des Moines. Okay. For sure. If it ever lands on Iowa, Sam,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you can participate.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I'd love to.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Someday.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Tim Dwight.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Before we get to this Mount Rushmore, by the way, Dan,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about Ricardo today, who is a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: monster Marlins fan? He walked in today wearing Yankee gear.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I've never seen him wear Yankee gear. He does this
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on the heels of them winning a big game last
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: night against the Red Sox. I had no idea he
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: was any sort of Yankee fan. How do you feel
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: about once your team is eliminated, you adopt another team
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as your team?
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You can adopt. You just can't adopt the Yankees. Like
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you can't adopt the Yankees or Dodgers. You can hop
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: on the Brewers bandwagon. I'm fine with that. White Sox
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: would be an easy pick. No one's wearing White Sox
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: gear today. You can't jump on the Dodger or Yankees bandwagon.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Can't happen. Okay.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: E.P. Jason, you had something there?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Stu, in the nine months we've been working together, I've
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: noticed a couple things. And one of those things is
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: that Bornoff Ricardo will do anything to curry favor with Taylor.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: What? Not me, but Taylor, yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, with Taylor specifically. Yes.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: That's my theory on this one.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: He runs the show. All right, let's get to this
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore. We're doing this for our affiliates at Pittsburgh.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys listening in Pittsburgh, and we apologize
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to the 249 other markets that we're on in.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But, Dan, let's do it one by one here, okay?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We'll go around the table.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I think there's an obvious Mount Rushmore before we get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to Adnan Virk to talk about Taylor's ridiculous take. Yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I do want music. Someone asked me if I want music.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I always want music. Thank you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, you know, the last time
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: we did it, you gave your Mount Rushmore and then
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: we just picked it apart with who we had.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So you want me to do that?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'd love to hear who your four are. Okay.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's a very tricky city. You know that, Dan, right?
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I know. I've made my own list. Again, I've made
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: a Rushmore Hill already.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I know. I'm very excited. All right, here we go.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I think it's a definitive four, but I'm certain you
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: guys will disagree with me. Roberto Clemente has to be
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: on the Mount Rushmore of Pittsburgh athletes.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Has to be. So that's one for me. Mario Lemieux
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: also needs to be on the Mount.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Rushmore of Pittsburgh sports. These are not guys that were
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: born in Pittsburgh. These are guys who played their, they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: played at some point in their career, they played in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the city of Pittsburgh. Clemente, Lemieux, Terry Bradshaw, and Chuck Knoll. Now,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I know there are some big names I am leaving off.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I understand that. Perhaps the greatest baseball player we've ever seen,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Barry Bonds. Yager is another name I left off.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I matched three of your four.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Really? Wow.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Yes. I matched Clemente and Lemieux. I think no brainers.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: And I also matched Chuck Knoll. but we did not
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: match on the fourth where you had Terry Bradshaw.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Okay. So who would your fourth?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So I, I looked at it as steel curtain Steelers
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: and then new age Steelers. And then I would think, well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger is the obvious. However, I don't think Roethlisberger
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: was loved in Pittsburgh. So then I tried to think
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: of who is the most recognizable, who represents what Pittsburgh was,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and they were about defense. I put Troy Polamalu on
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: that list.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: With the hair, the look, the play, I think he
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: embodied everything about them. They had great defensive players, but
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I put Troy Polamalu on that Mount Rushmore to represent
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the new version of the Steelers, the 2000s.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yes. Did you consider Jerome Bettis at all?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: No, I did not. I did not.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: He was, I think probably for those teams trying to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: think here for a second, the most popular guy of,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I guess the.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: New age Pittsburgh Steelers. That's fair, right?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Jerome.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Like I think Roethlisberger is the answer, but I don't
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: think that the city loved Roethlisberger.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think they love Roethlisberger. I know they love Bradshaw.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: They adore Clemente. You leave Clemente off in the city
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh. I mean, people are coming for you. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we have left off Dan Marino played at Pittsburgh. Tony
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Dorsett played at Pittsburgh. So he bonds Marino and Dorsett
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: being left off the Mount Rushmore.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh sports is absurd.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: It's crazy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Speaker 3 6, I do have an idea for a
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: replacement for Terry Bradshaw on your Mount Rushmore because it
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: was known as the steel curtain Joe green. Get, get
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the nod over Bradshaw.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Speaker 4 6.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I think Chuck Nolte gets the nod. Like he's all encompassing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I think Chuck Knoll is Pittsburgh.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yes. And so he takes in, he's the head.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: He's the head of that snake. He wraps everything around
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: offense and defense. That four Super Bowl run. Yeah, four
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Super Bowls.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Four Super Bowls. Went there four times. Never lost. Chuck
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Knoll has to be on there. I am spending way
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: too much time on a Pittsburgh Mount Rushmore, but we
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: do this for the affiliates.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I think there are a lot of listeners right now
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: that are screaming at the AM radio. How is Sid
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: the Kid not even mentioned? Not even mentioned in the
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: aftermath of this.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: So someone is listening to WBGG 970 AM and just
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: screaming in their car.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: At the radio. I bet you they're 26 years old.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: What if they're on WPGB 1047 FM?
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Then they're maybe 27 years old. They don't understand the
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: history and how good Mario Lemieux was. That's why we
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: are here. To right the wrongs.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Wait, so the one they're getting mad at What's the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: team they care about the least in Pittsburgh? Would it
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: be the Pittsburgh Penguins? Steelers has to be one. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: imagine Pirates is.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Two, right?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Well, no.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I thought Pirates could be three. I would almost put
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that ballpark on the Mount Rushmore the way that everybody
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: talks about it. I mean, it is magnificent. It's been
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: over 20 years and people are like, I still got
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: to go to Pittsburgh.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Well, We left off Willie Stargell.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Yes. i he was on my rushmore hill.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Can i hear you rushmore hill rushmore hill not as
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: big as mount rushmore had willie stargell yes sydney crosby
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: ben roethlisberger franco harris wow.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: So it's a hill.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't climb the mountain, the Mount Rushmore. They're just
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: left stranded on a hill. It's just slightly smaller. That's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: all it is.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It's a mound. Yes. It's a hill. Yeah, but it
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel like an honor.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Crosby, Roethlisberger, Franco, Stargell. That was my Rushmore Hill. How
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: about Yager?
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Hmm?
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Tommy Barasso.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Crosby, new age. Lemieux took care of the old age.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Like if Lemieux is healthy, I mean, he maybe passes
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Gretzky as the greatest ever. Who knows?
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Agreed. I think Pittsburgh is outraged right now.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I do believe people are screaming in their cars, yelling
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: both on the AM and the FM dial, because I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: think they pride themselves on being a football town. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I think they would have all Steelers on this list.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I think they're giving me a tip of the cap
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: on the Troy Polamalu. Like, that's a good pick, Dan.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not certain you're not right. I'm starting to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: rethink everything that I did here. Because I think Clemente
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: is the only non-Steeler that they would want on their
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: As great as Mario.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Lemieux was, I don't think Pittsburgh would be accepting of
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a Mount Rushmore that didn't have Bradshaw, Knoll, Mean Joe Green,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Franco Harris, guys like that. I think it should be
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: all Steelers minus Clementa. And where I messed up, Dan,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: was going to hockey. Because I'm just not certain if
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that's really– I know they like the– listen, I know
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: they like the Penguins. I know the Penguins had a
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: great run. I'm just not certain that anyone in Pittsburgh really,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: truly cares about hockey. Thank you for being in the Philly.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Braves and Phillies tied up at one
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: right now, top of the sixth.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I have kicked Taylor out.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I have kicked Mikey A out because Taylor made a ridiculous,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: ridiculous statement, bold take during one of our podcasts today.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And I wanted Adnan Virk on the show. And I said,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: don't come back until you have Adnan because Adnan is
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a Yankee fan. Dan Beyer, how do you feel about
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this take before I get to some more Mike Lees
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: with you and possibly EP Jason?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: But the take that Taylor had earlier today was tonight.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: even though they're up one game to nothing, it's a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: must-win game for the New York Yankees.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: It's absurd, right?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Absurd, capital A, yes.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So I said, go get a fellow Yankee fan on,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and Adnan is just that, because I want him to,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I want to see if he agrees with Taylor's ridiculous
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: take of the Yankees up one game to nothing at home.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: with a great pitcher on the mound tonight, but it's
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a must-win game for the New York Yankees, which is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: patently absurd. Give me some NFL music here. I have
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: some more Mike Lees for the guys out in Sherman Oaks.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Go-to music.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I just love the music.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I thought you had some.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: I did. We just moved on to football.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: It's a stupid take, though, right?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: It's more must lose than must win. That was going
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to be my take.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then Mikey got mad at me because he's like, hey,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's more Mike Lee time.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, well, you're terrible at playing and
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: asking questions. Get out of here. Come back with Adnan.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? EP Jason, are you
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: participating here? Oh, I'd love to.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Let's do it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Locked in.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Mikey's game. I'm asking the questions. All right, more Mike Lee, guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers don't make it to the World Series or
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the Rams don't.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Make it to the playoffs.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Dodgers to the World Series.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You're saying it's.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: More Mike Lee, even though the Dodgers, who are already
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in the postseason, that they're not going to make it
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to the World Series.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Than the Rams not making it to the playoffs.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: The bar in the NFC for the playoffs is so high.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I could limbo under that thing. Like, it's... It's almost
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: by default, despite the one and two start. Plus, Padres
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: are playing well. It looks like it could be Milwaukee
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: or San Diego that could face the Dodgers if they
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: got to the LCS.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It could also still be the Cubs, though.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Because that's baseball.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: E.P.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Jason?
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Stu, before the season started. I was asked to go
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: out on a limb with a season prediction for the NFL.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: And it's here in writing at the Sherman Oak studios
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: that it might out on a limb for the NFL.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: The season was the Rams do not make the playoffs.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So to stay consistent with that prediction, I'm going to
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: say it's more likely that the Dodgers make the world
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: series than the Rams make the playoffs.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Consistency at sports radio is not something that people normally
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: hold themselves up to.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you did.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: That's a good point.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You could have said whatever the hell you want. You
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: actually wrote it down or was it like, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a fake pen and a fake piece of paper?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: It's written down right here. I could send you a screenshot.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: More Mike Lee, Dan Byer. The White Sox or the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Cubs win the World Series. where the bears win the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: super bowl.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, going back to this piece of paper where Jer
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: where Jason has made his bold prediction about the Rams.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I have put the bears in the super bowl on
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: that prediction page, but I don't have them winning. So
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: it's more likely that the Cubs or white socks would
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: make the world series than the bears actually winning the
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: super bowl.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Winning the Super Bowl.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: But they have to win the World Series. I said
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: White Sox or Cubs win the World Series.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I'll take both. I'll take two teams as opposed to
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the one.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Two teams who are already in the postseason.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I think the odds are on my side.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Right. E.P.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Jason?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: You kind of have this mind versus heart thing here.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: My heart wants the White Sox or the Cubs to
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: win the World Series. But I'm thinking the Bears are
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: more likely to win the Super Bowl. I will go
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: with my brain on this one.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: By the way, mark it down. If the bears make
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the super bowl, I want starting lineups introduced. No more
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: of this team running on the field. And Caleb Williams
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: is driven out on a cart in the super bowl
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: for the pregame announcement. None of this team crap anymore.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Do you think.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Jason's heart is the only heart that wants the Chicago
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: white socks to make it to the world series?
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: It's an odd thing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: For your heart to want the He lives White Sox baseball.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he does.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: That's a complete lot.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: How about that? All right, here we go, guys. Arch Manning.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: More Mike Lee.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning becomes the best Manning to ever play quarterback
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: or the worst?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Dan.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: The worst. Again, the dilemma of people not realizing that
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: he's not Eli or Peyton's son, right? So if he's
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: going to have the genes of Cooper, and I heard
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Cooper was a great player, but it's tough to top
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Peyton and Eli's borderline Hall of Famer. So I'm going worst,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: more likely for Arch.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I would go worse as well. Jason, what do you got?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: It's the duality of this. You have to pick best
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: or worst. If it's somewhere in the middle, it's more likely.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: But I have to go worse. Yeah, I'll decide with
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you guys.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you ran an NFL franchise, would you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: be confident taking that guy number one overall in the draft?
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Negative.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: All right. One more quick one for you guys.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: The 3-0 Raiders make the playoffs or the 0-3 Chargers
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Which is more Mike Lee, Dan?
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I'll make it quick. I've bet against the Raiders the
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: last two weeks. They burn me every time. There's no
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: way they're this good. More likely the Raiders miss the
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: playoffs than the Chargers end up going.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: All right. That wasn't a question.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Not a believer. Okay.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: The 3-0 Raiders make the playoffs, Jason, or the 0-3
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Chargers make the playoffs?
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I think the Raiders are in.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: All right. I am excited. We spin the wheel of affiliates,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and we do it next.
• 18:44

  Speaker 3: Pacific.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Taylor, you have to feel vindicated only from this standpoint.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You know tonight is not a must-win game. I understand
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you got carried away, but you have to be vindicated
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: on your Cam Schlittler tape because now everyone is throwing
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: flowers at you. And I know you were reaching when
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you made the take, but I have taught you very,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: very well. Swing for the fences, my friend. If you
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: get it right, we'll celebrate it. And if you don't,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: no one, and I mean nobody, will remember the bad take.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to you.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I love Ken Schlittler.
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: He's second in my New York sports power ranking right
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: now behind only Jalen Brunson.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I mean, has it changed your life? Can
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: he catch him?
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Can he catch Jalen Brunson?
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: Cam Schluter can win the next five World Series and
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: be the World Series MVP in every one, and he's
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: not catching Jalen Brunson.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Wow. Just one title. You changed your life.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yes. You have ranked NFL games here.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: What are you doing with NFL games here as we
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: finish out the show?
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: So I have categories for NFL games. I'm going to
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: say what the game is to me, like if it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: a win-now game, a loser-leaves-town game, and then you guys
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: can either try to guess what the game is or
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: I can just explain what the game is.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, we should know the categories that we're trying
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to guess, right?
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I'll say the category.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, you will. So we have to agree or disagree, essentially.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: I'm scared for this team's life game.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Scared for this team's life game wow okay i'm scared
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: for their life hold on i gotta get.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: The schedule particularly the quarterback.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: The texans no okay i would have said uh the dolphins.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: Mikey a you nailed it mikey a's got the pulse
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: of the nfl.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: The vikings they play the vikings it's flores yes.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: First off, you have the Flores revenge game factor where
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: he's getting the chance to go against the Dolphins. I
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: don't know about you guys, but Flores seems like a
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: pretty vindictive person, and I think he's going to want
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: to try to bury this Dolphins team. And then, Stu,
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: the Minnesota Vikings blitz at a 71.1% rate. The next
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: closest is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 46.7%.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Yep. It would be the highest blitz rate in a
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: season since at least 2016.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Brian Flores has figured out something in Minnesota just saying,
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: I've studied quarterbacks to know there aren't enough good quarterbacks
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: in this league to process the decision-making. So I'm just
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: going to blitz every time and put them in bad situations.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: And if I'm Malik Willis, I'm afraid for Malik Willis'
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: life this weekend.
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: If the Vikings go up by enough, does Brian Flores
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: throw on a helmet just so that he can run
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: a blitz too and try and hit somebody?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: I could see him doing it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I think what Brian Flores is trying to figure out
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: is why the hell he's not the head coach there.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: He probably should be. Perhaps that lawsuit against the NFL. Anyway,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: next one.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: My next game. The pink slip game.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I love a good pink slip.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, I got it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: If this coach loses this game, he gets back to
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: the office Sunday night and there's a pink slip waiting
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: at his desk.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: We're still doing pink slips, huh? Do we still do
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: pink slips? That's a great question. Battle of the bays.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Is he right?
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: It's the Battle of the Bays. Matt LaFleur up against
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: Todd Bowles. I think this is a loser leaves town.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you have Todd Bowles getting a pink slip.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I told you no one has more job security in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL than Todd Bowles.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: I think everybody's tired of the Todd Bowles act right now.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: They see his face on the sideline. It never changes.
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: The team stinks. You're in the NFC South. The one
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: shining grace for this Tampa Bay Bucs team is the
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: fact that they play in the NFC South and they're
• 22:32
  Speaker 8: only a game out of it despite not winning a
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: game yet this season.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: Todd Bowles, like, it's time to either win or get
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: out that job.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: I would just say I don't think Todd Bowles is
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: going to get fired starting an undrafted rookie because his
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: quarterback is injured.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: I don't see that happening.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: LeFleur, yes, I could see that happening if he loses
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: to an undrafted rookie 0-3 Tampa Bay Bucs.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I still can't see LeFleur getting fired in season.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Either of those guys, to be honest with you. Maybe
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: it's a pink slip down the road game. I just don't,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine either coach coming back to their office
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: after that game. There lies a pink slip because their
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: services are no longer needed.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I just, I don't see it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: So who do you think is more likely to get
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: fired if they lose this game? It's gotta be LaFleur.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: LeFleur.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: LeFleur.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: Because I think Bowles is not getting fired losing a
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: game with a backup undrafted rookie as his quarterback.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying either coach is going to get fired,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: but if one does get.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: A pink slip, it's going to be LeFleur.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Yes. Next game?
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: My next game, the last one I have for this week.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: Prove yourself game.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Prove yourself.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Prove yourself oh okay shouldn't every game be a prove
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: yourself game i mean theoretically you could say it about
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: any game right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Theoretically everybody's trying to prove themselves but i got this
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: one circled as a prove yourself game i think there's
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: two teams that some people might have questions with one
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: of these two teams is going to walk out unless
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: there's a tie feeling a lot more confident about themselves
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: hmm prove it you want to take.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: A shot stew i'm yeah i got it yeah eagles
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: rams it would be my prove it game no this
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: so this is a get right game for both of
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: us now i'm sorry about that is it chiefs raiders
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: not chiefs raiders wow that was my next really that's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: my game of the week though.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Wow wow Bengals Jaguars you nailed it yeah there you
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: go I.
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: Think there's some questions about this Bengals team with that
• 24:39
  Speaker 8: defensive performance bringing that Steelers offense back to life and
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: then Trevor Lawrence you guys could say whatever you want
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: about Trevor Lawrence and I know you will yeah He
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: looks like a different quarterback when he plays with Liam
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: Cone as his head coach, and there might be something
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: there to think that Trevor Lawrence might finally be putting
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: it all together this season in Jacksonville with Liam Cone.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I think this is a prove-yourself game.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I would respond to that by saying do it in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the postseason.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: But you're right.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: It's a prove-it game.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I gave away your game of the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: week Raiders and Chiefs.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Ha ha ha.
