  Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? Welcome in. I'm Brian Noe
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in for Big Ben Maller here on Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, shout out late night drug tester. The
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Who Am I game? You guessed you are Flea, who
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is 64 today. How about that? Basist of the Red
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Hot Chili Peppers. Flea, 64 years old. Carries it well.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have guessed that. Back to the future star Flea.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah. I don't think I've seen the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: whole movie, Coop. I know you'd be very disappointed about that.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: You haven't seen all of Back to the Future? I cannot...
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And you give us a hard time about movies. Come on.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, but The Departed is an absolute classic. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: know you're going to say so is Back to the Future, but... But,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you know, I... Is it on the same level as
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The Departed? I think Back to the Future is miles
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: ahead of The Departed. I doubt it. Yes, absolutely. I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: doubt it. I doubt it. I'd have to see. By
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: any measurable stat you can think of. Like, entertainment value?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: That's pretty high on the list right there. I don't care. Listen,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Back to the Future is going to be miles ahead
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in terms of popularity. It's going to be a more
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: mainstream movie. Like, yeah, sure. But better?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Better?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: We're not talking about what's the better movie.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Why would we not?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Because this conversation started with me being surprised that you
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: haven't seen all of Back to the Future versus me
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: only having seen The Departed three times.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Three times.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: It's more shocking that you haven't seen back to the future.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I've seen back to the future like 20 times at least.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got a fair point there, but if
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we move the conversation to which movie is better. Yeah.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's the departed. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's the departed right there.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: Um, yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: No doubt.

  Speaker 1: that one off to the side right there. Beautiful stuff.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Let me go back and I'll get to the militia
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: here momentarily. 877-99 on Fox. You can tell I'm excited.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I can barely talk this evening. But I want to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: go back because we had a call about overtime, the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: coin toss, who gets the ball, all that type of stuff.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And look, it's the right strategy for the Broncos to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: kick off. because their defense was playing great. Sam Darnold
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was a turnover machine, very skittish, very skittish on Thursday night.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And so in the Broncos offense had played terribly awful, right?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Bo Nix with only barely over a hundred yards passing.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: They're not moving the ball. Let me look at the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: stats in terms of a team yardage. It's not going
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to be anything that jumps off. They didn't even have
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: 200 yards of total offense. The Broncos. I heard it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that that the Broncos on Thursday night football, they averaged
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: 2.9 yards per play. That's what they did. That's brutal.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So of course the right decision was to kick off
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and the Broncos relied on their defense and they got
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a takeaway. They forced a turnover, got a Sam Darnold interception,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and then they only needed a field goal to win it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So that was absolutely brutal. for many reasons, the right strategy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: The question was, well, hey, what if Seattle scored a touchdown?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if Seattle scores a touchdown, it's game, set, match.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's over. You can't trust Denver and Bo Nix to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown to either equalize it or most likely
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: they would have gone for two to try to win
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the game. It's probably what would have happened. You can't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: count on that happening, but The chances of Seattle just
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: driving right down and scoring another touchdown. They had scored
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: their touchdown in the fourth quarter. To all of a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sudden catch fire again and score another touchdown? I doubt it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I would bet very heavily against that happening. And that's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what the Broncos did. The Broncos had not just under
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: 200 yards. They had 168 yards of total offense. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I know you can sit here and be like, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they won. And that's the ultimate trump card right there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But they won. No doubt. That's right. That's got to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: get worlds better for them to do anything of note
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: this season. That's beyond brutal right there. But that's the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: thing is, this doesn't just apply to Thursday night football.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: This applies to the NFL as a whole. The strategy
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of what you do in overtime, it can change from
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: time to time. I think if, you know, listen, if
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: your offense is all of a sudden it just found
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a gear and you're in a flow, you've got momentum,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: maybe you do want the ball to start off if
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you win the coin toss. Maybe. Maybe your defense is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: playing well enough where you feel confident that you can
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown, you can prevent them from scoring a touchdown.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe receiving at times is the right thing to do.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: But I think more times than not, kicking off is
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the right thing. You know what you need to do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: If the other team kicks a field goal, well, you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: win it with a touchdown. If the other team scores
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, well, you need a touchdown. You're going for
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it on every fourth down. And then if you do
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown, you have the option to go for
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: two and the win or most likely settle for the tie,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: depending on how much time is left. But that absolutely
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: was the right decision for the Broncos to kick off.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: And I'll say it again. If the Seahawks win the toss,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: they're kicking off. They're relying on their defense. And we
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: might be talking about a Seahawks win if they win
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the coin toss. That's what's crazy to me is I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: think we've gotten away because the rules are much different of, well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they used to say this all the time and I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: totally disagreed with it, but I understand where the point
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was coming from. It always was said, well, whoever wins
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the coin toss wins the game. I heard that a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: million times. And it's like, not necessarily. You've got to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: just play defense. I didn't have a problem. I would
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: never go kicking and screaming if my favorite team lost
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the overtime coin toss and the other team only needed
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a field goal. I still wasn't complaining about that. But
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for any team that lost the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: coin toss and then gave up a touchdown and didn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: get a crack at it. They didn't get a possession.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I have No sympathy for you. It's like prevent a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: touchdown from being scored. If you can't do that, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: really don't think you need or deserve a possession. But listen,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it's entertaining when both teams get a possession. And all
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying is, although it doesn't mean the same thing
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to hear that probably ever again of, well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: whoever won the coin toss, they won the game. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: whoever won the coin toss on Thursday night football between
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the Broncos and Seahawks, They're kicking off and they have
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a major advantage from that point on. So, I don't know.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I still think the coin toss means a ton is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: what I'm getting at. Doesn't mean the same, but it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: still means a lot. The parallel would be You hear
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: this a lot where, you know, like look at where
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: football once was, where you could deplete defenseless receivers. There
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was no such thing as a defenseless receiver. The Deacon
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Jones day, you could head slap someone and go around
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the edge and, and root to the quarterback, get a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: sack and all the rules have changed a ton. It
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was far more barbaric way back when that doesn't mean
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that it isn't incredibly physical right now. That's the mistake
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of people make is like, oh, it's two-hand
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: touch now. It's, you know, we're playing tiddlywinks out there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Watch these games. Watch the hits. Watch the collisions. These
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: are still ridiculous collisions out there. So it's the same
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: thing with the overtime coin toss. Just because it's changed
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, you know, it's done a 180, right?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The coin toss used to mean everything, quote unquote, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: now it doesn't mean anything? It still means a ton. Granted,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it doesn't mean the same as it once did, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: it still means a lot. The game isn't as physical
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and as barbaric as it once was with a lot
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of things being outlawed. You can't land on a quarterback.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Think about when Tony Saragusa did the nasty plunge on
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: top of Rich Gannon. You can't do that anymore, right?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: That has been outlawed. So it used to be way
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: more barbaric. And a lot of people make the mistake
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of saying, well, it's two hand touch. It's like, no, dude,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not at all. Some of these collisions are real. train wrecks.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I think that people get that wrong where it has
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: changed a lot and they overstate the change. The coin
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: toss and the overtime rules have changed so much that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I think they're no longer saying the coin toss means
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: as much as it really does right now. It means
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a ton. Still means a ton. Game is still incredibly physical,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: although a lot of things have been outlawed. It can
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: be both. Just because a lot of things have been
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: outlawed doesn't mean it's no longer really physical.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's Look at the injury reports, okay? It's not tiddlywinks
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: out there, all right? They're still getting after each other.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox is your number. I want to go
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: out to Joel. He's in Seattle. Let's get some Seattle
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: flavor on the show, shall we? Joel's got a thought
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football. What's going on, Joel?
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: How are you doing tonight?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Pretty good.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Well, it's tough being a Seattle sports fan, but hey.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, man.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: We need a running back.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You do, and you had one. That's a sad thing,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: isn't it? It's got to be rough to see him
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: doing what he's doing with the Chiefs.
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: Well, I kind of enjoy it, but.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You love misery is what you're telling us here, Joel, right?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you're happy that he's doing well, but you'd
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have to want him to be doing well for your team, though, right?
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's tough to see our quarterback throw into a
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: sea of orange jerseys.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: He's so bad. I don't know what to tell you, man.
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: He really isn't. He's a good quarterback.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: He's not this year, and he wasn't on Thursday night.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Kirk Street pointed something out. Did you watch his
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: footwork on that one play?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of plays where
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you could point to that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: But I think really the bad thing was our offensive
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: line didn't give him any time.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: No, they didn't, but he compounded it. You know, he
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: made things worse. By the way, Joel, what's going on?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Is it bath time today? What is that in the background?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm so curious. It sounds like water is just kind
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of like, you know.
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: No, just fans.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: What is it? Staying cool with fans. Fans. Oh, it's fans.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: No water.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: No rain.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: That's good. Gotta stay cool with fans every.
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: Now and then.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Hot in Seattle tonight. Hot one right there.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Crazy.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: So obviously we're now we're like four games out.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's not good. Well, yeah, I mean, you're basically like,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you look at two and a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: half because the head to head loss.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You're three and three Niners five and oh. So really,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it'd be like, it's almost like three full games, right?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: You're like two and a half back, but you lost
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the head-to-head, so not great. Not great right now.
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: So you got any good news, or.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: What? Oh, man, about Seattle? Well, I mean, great music scene.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Outstanding music scene over there in Seattle, right? Some of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: the greats. I mean, Hendrix, goodness. Hart, right, Coop? That's right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Love Hart. Absolutely. Seattle, you know, the grunge era. Music.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Music should cheer you up there, Joel. As far as sports,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I don't have much for you. Outstanding defense. But offensively,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: outside of JSN, I got nothing for you.
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, great call, Joel. You know....
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Seeing how bad Sam Darnold is, it just makes me
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and it's and I can't it's hard to say this
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: now with with how bad Bo Nix has been playing
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: because everybody will just, you know, just jump in your face.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: But I truly believe that if Bo Nix didn't get hurt,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: the Broncos would be Super Bowl champions.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I don't. And I believe they would have been in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. That's not a leap. But to be champions,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It would have been a better game
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: than what we got with the Patriots in there. but
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we'll never know.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: You don't think that Broncos defense makes Sam Darnold see ghosts.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: They could have, they, they, they very well could have,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you might be talking about a Broncos championship and Bo
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Nix is the present day, Brad Johnson's slash Trent Dilfer.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Like we could, we could be talking about that. It's possible.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: There was a funny tweet. Let me get it for you.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: It was sent to the group text. This guy He
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: goes by State Fair Nick. He just wrote, Sam Darnold
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: is playing like Sam Darnold again, but not the Sam
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Darnold that turned into Sam Darnold, the Sam Darnold before
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. I mean, look, man. It was an outstanding
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: defense last year for the Seahawks. Kenneth Walker meant a
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: lot to that team. The running game as a whole
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: with both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet meant a lot.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Sam Darnold played well. Don't get me wrong. He played
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: great in the NFC title game against the Rams, who
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: had no secondary, by the way. No secondary. Sam Darnold,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: like the amount of praise I heard for Sam Darnold
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: last year. It showed you that Sam Darnold is just
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a guy. Okay, that's what it should have shown you.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Why is that? Because your reaction shows what you expect.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You know, nobody, if Mahomes puts up a season where
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: he throws 25 touchdown passes and leads the league in turnovers,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: like Darnold had 14 turnovers, he's fumbling left and right.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He led the league in turnovers. No one is doing
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: backflips and shirtless somersaults drooling over Mahomes' season. where he's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: throwing 25 touchdown passes, 14 interceptions. Nobody is doing that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: But with Sam Darnold doing it, it was like, oh,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: look at Sam Darnold. Look at this guy. He's balling out, man.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Look at Sam Darnold. Your reaction showed that you expected
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: nothing from Sam Darnold, and rightfully so. But he's gone
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: back to exactly what he is. He's a journeyman quarterback
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he always will be. That's what
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: he is. He needs a lot around him. You need
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: a great defense. You need a great running game. You
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: need a great receiving threat. You have that. And you
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: have a great defense. You just don't have a running
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: game that's reliable. Not to the tune of what you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: had last season. And you're seeing the warts. That's what
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: you're seeing with Sam Darnold. So, no. Sam Darnold is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Nick Foles-esque. Right? Nick Foles. People got mad at me.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I was calling him Nick Fools.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Meaning.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I take nothing away from him winning a Super Bowl
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: with the Eagles. That was one of the greatest postseason
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: runs you're ever going to see. And listen, the Philly
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: special will go down in NFL lore, Super Bowl lore,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. He played great in that postseason. But
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: he was not a franchise quarterback going forward. He just wasn't.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And neither is Sam Darnold. He's not a franchise quarterback
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: where you can count on year in and year out
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to get you to the promised land, to give you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: a chance to win a Super Bowl because he's going
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to be good enough to do so, to at least
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: give you a chance. You can't count on that every
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: single year. And you're seeing that, right? Look at what
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it took to get there last season. That is very
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: hard to just copy and paste year after year after
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: year after year. He's got to play better. And even
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on a team that had all of that, Great defense.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: One of the best receivers in the game in JSN.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: He's still throwing 14 interceptions last season. And it was
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: nothing but an onslaught of praise and drooling and Sam Dart.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: It was like, what was it? The old Saturday night
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: live skit orgasm boy. That's how it was where it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was like, Game after game, like, oh my gosh, Sam Darnold.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, he played all right. He managed the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: game all right. Let's not go crazy. Let's keep it
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in perspective over it. No, it wasn't slowing anybody down.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And now we're seeing Darnold. He walked into that game
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: with seven interceptions and five, I'm sorry, seven touchdown passes,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: five interceptions. He threw two more. Seven and seven. That's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: what he's got this season. Seven touchdown passes, seven picks.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's not good enough. Just isn't. Uh, so no, I'm
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: not high on Sam Darnold at all. And, uh, listen,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: we'll get to, I, I think I'm going to tease
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it all night. We got some Bo Nix sound. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's ever going to get played. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: might have to email it over to coop and we'll,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we'll get it in the system, but it might be
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the only way to do so. You do. Uh, I'll
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: throw it your way. I'll throw it. Cause, uh, yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: there are a couple of bells and whistles on that thing. Uh, yeah, but, um,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that around the corner. And listen, if
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you want to chime in about baseball, be my guest.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: You know me. I am a football addict. I am
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a ballaholic, if you will. So, you know, my focus
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: goes straight to Broncos beating the Seahawks. I still have
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: many takes on baseball. If you have takes, feel free
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to get them off. You're more than welcome to get

• 19:32
  Speaker 1: about the Dodgers. I have thoughts as well. So we'll
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: get to those right around the corner. Dodgers go down
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in flames, getting swept by the Brewers. One Bo Nix.

  Speaker 1: I don't know Bo's middle name. You know what, Coop?

• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to guess Bo. Anthony Nix. Bo Anthony Nix. Bo Winner Nix.

• 19:59

  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 24:50

  Speaker 6: That was his favorite band.
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: He's a music expert, though.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of these people like Olivia Rodrigo,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: she's come into Boston on Sunday. She's one of the
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: best musicians right now. She has a whole band, a
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: dance team, you know. but I'm really into Steely Dan.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: I like, um, the whole story of Steely Dan. I
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: like when you listen to Steely Dan, you can hear, um, the,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: the music, like, uh, he does a lot of drugs, felonious,
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: you know? So the band broke up and then, uh,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: They re they remastered all their music. Now I'm really
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: into music. Now I love music. I do music therapy.

• 26:14
  Speaker 6: by this weird, like metal scene that showed up like
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: 20 years ago and it totally failed. I don't know

  Speaker 6: a whole With the whole music scene, those guys that
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: made the Yankees suck t-shirts, they had like a record
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: label and they tried to put this metal scene out
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: that just came from Boston.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: It was awful.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: That drove me away from metal. I live right next
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: to like Cambridge. central square in Cambridge. So they got

  Speaker 1: to do, we need to have a jam session. Next time,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I could get an idea. Let's do that.
• 27:54

• 27:56
  Speaker 1: All right. Any metal that, you know, anything in your wheelhouse?

• 28:14
  Speaker 6: So we used to talk about your music, but I
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: just love talking to people. So it would come up
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: in conversation. So I'd love to learn if you have
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: the time. We could do a podcast together, too. We
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: could read emails from people. We could call it the
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: six hour with Brian Noe and Blind Scott.
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: You know, you could.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: I have a demo out there right now. I was
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: on this thing. It's called the blind leading the blind
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: with Ben Maller on the fifth hour. You could listen
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: to it if you want to demo it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: But you might end up in a ditch.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Right. The blind leading the blind.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: I might get mad and hate you or something. You
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: might leave me on a second floor venue after hanging
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: out with Michael Leprechaun and being legless and leaving me
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: there totally blind after having 15 drinks and not let
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: me go to the Red Sox game with you and
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: leaving me outside.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You were on the ground floor by the time we left.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We all were. We all were. So you can't say that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I dismiss you guys. No, I love saying
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: that because I think it's funny. I dismiss you guys
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: because I felt like oozy, like I was going to
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: get sick. So I did recognize that I would maybe
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: throw up and feel better. So I didn't want you
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: guys to witness that because they had been hanging out
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: with Mike the Leprechaun all day. It was like a... Dude,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: the funniest thing I heard when I was here, Ben
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: was like, this Salem, Massachusetts place needs to get cleaned up.
• 29:28

  Speaker 1: bet on Bo Nix cashed. And it did not. So
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he was squinting.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: He's a terrible quarterback.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he thought it said 307 passing yards. It just
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: says 107 passing yards is what happened right there. What's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: going on, Gunnar? What are you doing?
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm just waiting for Sunday again. Easy win here.
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: No, no hurts. No problem.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: No hurts. No problem.
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: Huh?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: It sounds like there's a country song right there to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: be made. No hurts. No problem.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Right. There you go. Good job.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: I see another few wins and a future here. Get
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: up way above 500 and get to the number one
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: seed in the NFC.
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: That'd be great.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Whoa, hold on.
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: Hold on.
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: Hold on.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Hold on.
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: Gunner.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: This is what you do every time, man. I don't
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: want to be Mr. Reality or well, actually guy, but
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: you forced me, you forced my hand. Not just, not
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: just like winning the NFC South. No number one seat
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: in the NFC gunner. Come on. Even, you know, that's crazy.
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: I don't think it's crazy.
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: We have great receivers.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: Bryce Young is a great quarterback. We've got good running backs.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: Our defense is putting together, and that would be great.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen him once. He is a popular.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: You don't have a great quarterback, Gunnar. That is untrue.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Hold up.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: He's not a great quarterback.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: You've got to admit, Bryce Young has gotten much, much better.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: He's way better than Stroud has.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Look, man, just because you're better than CJ Stroud, which
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is debatable, doesn't mean you're a great quarterback.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: The bar's got to be higher than that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: No.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: We'll see. Who's your team now?
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: I've got your team.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Who's your team right now?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: That's the 0-5 Dolphins. Okay, gutter.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: The 0-5.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Just give me one.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Give me one win. You look out.
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: Come 2030.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, you don't want any of the aqua and orange.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: It's going to take a little bit. They're stripping it down,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: all right? That's the way they should do it. They're
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: not doing the Steelers thing here where we're 500, we're
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: going to win one playoff game and then get smacked. No, no,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: we're stripping it down to the studs and rebuilding it
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: right here, Gunnar. That's what's happening.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: That's what we did, okay? We did that. We did that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: It has to happen, man. That's the way to do it.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: How about them Timberwolves? This team was very good, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: I can't wait to see them.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I'm excited.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I'm excited.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know how effective they'll be, but entertainment value.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: It's going to be entertaining and effective. We got Rudy
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Gobert down in the post. We got J-Mac all healthy.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: Steven Chandler is going to be back before midseason at
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: least because he's already up and working out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I hated that he went down. That was unfortunate, man.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we were gone far if he was healthy.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Is our guy DeSumo, is he back? The old bull?
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he's back, yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Ayo's back? Okay, good, good.
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: It's going to be a good season.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: We get, who's the guy, the high-flying guy from Illinois?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Refresh my memory. Terrence, what's the guy's name? I'm off
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: my NBA. Are we going to see a bigger role
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: from this guy? What am I thinking of?
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Sarah Chen.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let me look him up.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. He's going to be effective, yes. He's gotten
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: a bigger role this year.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: So has Bear J.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Johan.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: He's going to be good, too. I see at least maybe.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: 60, 61 wins. 61 wins for the T-Wolves, huh, Gunnar?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Why don't we just parlay this? Timberwolves, NBA championship, Panthers.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: NFL Super Bowl triumph. What do you think here?
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: That would be a lot of money.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you could retire on that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know what I'd do with myself.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, probably.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: If you bet a dollar.
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: Wait a minute.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: The Timberwolves are not that far in the odds.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: Of winning this year.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you just bet a dollar.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: One of the top five.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. Terrence Shannon Jr. I could
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: not come up with the name here. Goodness, you were
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: my lifeline. We were on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I phoned a friend, and you came up with nothing here, Gunnar.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: He said Terrence Shannon. Did he really?
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Are you serious he said that? Yeah. Can we rewind
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the call? He said Terrence Shannon Jr. Absolutely. Well, he
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: didn't add that. He didn't say Jr., but he did
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: say Terrence Shannon. Oh, well, I just missed the user error.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I take back all of that here. It's bad listening skills.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: All right, Gunner. We got to run, man. Always good
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to talk to you, though.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: All right. Nice talking to you, man.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: There he is, Gunner.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Now, I know we're pressed for time here, so I'll
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: be quick. I don't want to defend a delusional fan
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: such as Gunnar because he is delusional.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: That's right, yeah. But are we sure that Bryce Young's
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: not a good quarterback? He didn't say good. He said great.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Are we sure he's not a great quarterback? Yes, we're
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: sure he's not a great quarterback. He's putting up great numbers, okay?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to get excited because he carved up the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: horrible Lions defense in a primetime spot.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: That's fair, but he did pretty well last year also,
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: and he's only, what, 25 or something like that?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: No, Bryce Young is... He's improving. You know what he is?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: He's like Sam Darnold. Like the expectations were in the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: toilet because he was so bad. And now that he's better,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: some people are overstating how much better he is. That's
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: where we are. This is Darnold-esque. You buy that? I
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: see some nodding over there, Coop.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Perhaps.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: I think the jury's still more out on Bryce Young
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: than it is Sam Darnold.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: All right, there it is. What do we got going
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: on right here? I know what we got going on.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: We got some DK going on, is what we have.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Right around the corner, we got a lot going on here.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I should just tease? In the break,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: we're just going to try to find an Ethernet connection,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: probably fail, and then I'll just be like, what am
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I doing? What am I talking about next? And I
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: just figure it out on the fly. That's probably what
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the tease should be. That's exactly what's going to happen
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: right here. We're going to try to hook it up.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Have some audio going on here. We'll get to the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: militia here. I'll get to more of the calls. Anybody
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: wants to check in. I love being interactive. And we'll
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: let that. Oh, I got to get to. Oh, man.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I absolutely hate. If you don't get to break, I'm
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: going to beat you with a stick. You probably will.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm forced to delay. I'm forced to delay just to
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: see if that would happen. Yeah. There's a horrible, horrible,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: horrible change that is mammoth. And we got to talk
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: about that right around the corner. I'm Brian Nguyen for
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Maller. Keep it locked right here on Fox
• 37:42

  Speaker 1: It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian Noe in for
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Maller. There's no time like October. The World
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Series begins next Friday, streaming live on Fox One. The
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: National League champion Brewers will take on either the Rays
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: or Guardians live from Milwaukee next Friday. For game one,

  Speaker 1: stream the World Series live on Fox One. I'm going
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to the phones real fast. Goodness, we're short on time. Lorena,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: you should have told me we were running. I don't
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: know what you did. We got James in Tacoma. He's
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: up next. What's going on, James? You're on Fox Sports Radio. James,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: you there, buddy?
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Can you hear me?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I got you, James. What's up, man?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two quick things.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: First thing, you say the overtime rules in the NFL,
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: every team is guaranteed to have the ball. That is
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: totally untrue.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Well, technically, Guy, we get it. If there's a defensive score, fine.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: But both teams are guaranteed a possession unless something crazy happens.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I thought we were all on the same page. But
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: if you want to be well, actually, Guy, go ahead.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: No.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: What can happen is that Tina gets the ball first.
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: They can go on a 17-play, 80-yard drive.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: Two at the clock.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: That's true. All right.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Take up the entire 10 minutes.
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: Yes. They score a game-feel goal. LSU doesn't even get
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: to touch the ball.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: We get it.
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Is there another point?
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, last thing. At the very start of your show,
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: Cooper's talking about Coffee Yates, and Rainer's talking about sticky food. Uh-huh.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: This year, the order for Halloween, Tombstone Pizza, they've added
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: candy corn to a pizza topping.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: What?
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: So now, yes, Google Tombstone Pizza, candy corn. It's now
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: a topping for pizza.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Interesting. I defend candy corn. I'm one of the few,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the proud, the brave. Me too. I love candy corn.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I love candy corn, but I don't know how I
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: feel about it on pizza. Yeah, I don't know about
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: that either. That's a fair point. Did you see that
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Wingstop has Sour Patch Kids chicken wings right now? Get
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: out of here.
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they're like raspberry sweet coated and then they have
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Sour Patch Kids on them.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I'm quite intrigued. I'm quite intrigued on as far as
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: that goes. Good stuff. A horrible change, a despicable change,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: a dreadful change.
