  Speaker 1: Oh what it's going on? Happy Tuesday morning to you. Well,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: at least on everywhere but the West Coast. We're almost
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in Tuesday morning territory on the West Coast here. Momentarily
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we will be right there. I'll tell you what Monday
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Night football on the brain, because we have playoff implications
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is what. We have lots going on over here. So
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we get to the losers first. Losers go first. It's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: always you know, winners outs, No, no, no, losers go first.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So that would be the Los Angeles Rams. How about that?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: The Rams end up losing on Monday Night Football. They
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: lose twenty seven to twenty four. Matthew Stafford did not
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: play well. Matthew Stafford channeled his inner Josh Allen, at
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: least on the final throw from Josh Allen. Josh Allen
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: still a fantastic quarterback. Matthew Stafford's still a fantastic quarterback.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: He's been so fantastic this year. He was the front
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: runner to win MVP, But on Monday Night he played
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: like anything but an MVP candidate. He stunk up the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: joint something severe. He threw three interceptions, is what our guy,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford did three picks against the Falcons. One was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a pick six and the theme of the who am
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I game a little bit later this hour. But the Rams,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: they erased a twenty one point deficit, they came roaring back,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: They tied the game up. Falcons took the lead with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a fifty one yard field goal with twenty one seconds left.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And so here we go, Matthew Stafford. Time right, You
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: got a chance with twenty one seconds left, no timeouts
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to hit a couple of passes and maybe get your
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: team in field goal range, get the game into overtime,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and then all bets are off. Baby, and Matthew Stafford
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: had a couple of opportunities. First down, play wide open
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: receiverer receiver Xavier Smith was just wide open, ran a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: little corner round out. The Falcons just were like, ah,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Xavier Smith, it's not like he's a DeVante Adams or anything.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We don't need to guard him. They didn't pick him up.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Wide open, a quarterback's dream, and Matthew Stafford threw a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: ball not even close to Xavier Smith, not even remotely close.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That was the opportunity right there, because if Matthew Stafford
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: makes that throw, they're in field goal range already, they're
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: inside the thirty with about fifteen seconds to play. They're
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: gonna take one or two shots at the end zone.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They're gonna try to win this thing in regulation if
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he can hit this throw, and he didn't. It was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a horrible throw. It's a horrible performance by Matthew Stafford.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And so you get the second down. I'm not gonna
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: break down everything here, but it was really interesting. The
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: end of the game. Second down, Stafford throws a deep
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: ball do to two at Well. It was a nice throw,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: little grabby grabby should have been pass interference. The arm
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of to two at Well was grabbed prematurely, the ball
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: wasn't there yet. That his past interference pass interference. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: forget the guy's name, York something, whoever's in the booths.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You always have to have a former official in the booth, right,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The former official in the ESPN booth was like, that's pi.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That is past interference if I've ever seen it, is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: what he said. But it was it was a little
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: bit hard to detect. I know, we want to look
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: at these officials and we slow it down in super
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: slow moan and we're like, how did you miss that?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: In real time there's hand fighting. Maybe the player's back
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: has turned to you as he grabs the the hand,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the arm so slyly right there. He got away with it,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: got away with it on second down, so we get
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the third down. No, this this was the play of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the game. So Stafford throws a great ball to Pooka
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Nakua along the sideline. Pooka Nakua just grabs the ball
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: with his left hand, one hands it, beautiful catch, gets
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: his feet down going out of bounds. It's like they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: ruled it incomplete. We go to the replay. The first
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: couple of angles we see, oh, that's a catch. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: next thing, that's a catch. The last angle, ooh, not
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: a catch. He grabbed the ball with his left hand
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and it just stuck right there, and uh, you know, uh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and he's dry. He's falling down. And then aj Torell
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that savvy Falcons cornerback right there. He kept on grabbing
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Pooka's arm. He was just grabbing the arm and he
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: forced the ball to come loose for a millisecond. He
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: just forced Puka to lose control just for a little
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: bit as he was falling out of bounds and his
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: feet were no longer in bounds anymore. And so with
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Pooka losing control of that, with Ajterrell pulling at his arm,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it turned it into an incomplete pass. So it's fourth
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: down there five seconds left. Stafford tried basically the same
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: throw the sideline incomplete game over crazy. It was that close,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and man, you go back to the first down play,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you gotta make that throw. Savior Smith is wide open.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: That's a throw Matthew Stafford makes in his sleep. But
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Stafford was not on point at all on Monday Night.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Man three interceptions and the MVP odds, Oh baby, they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have taken a turn. If you look at the MVP
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: odds market, Matthew Stafford was a healthy favorite before the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: game before Monday Night. Matthew Stafford's looking good. If you've
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: got any of your Matthew Stafford MVP bets, you're like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you're like, all right, let's go Stafford. Monday Night's time
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: to put the final nail in the coffin right here.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Good performance, win the game, gotta be MVP. And then
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Stafford is like here, pick six, here another interception, Hey,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: there was one more interception, and you're like, oh my gosh,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: what is happening. So during the game, after Stafford threw
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that pick six earlier, the odds changed where it's almost
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: even money on both sides, whether it's Matthew Stafford or
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Drake May the Patriots quarterback. It was, you know, like
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: minus one p fifteen and minus one ten, Like it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: very very even in terms of the betting lines, almost
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: even money. Let's just not confuse people. It's almost even
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: money on either player if you were to bet on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: them at that stage. And then we fast forward to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the end of the game. It's Stafford. You know, miss
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is a wide open receiver. You know, throws a couple
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: more picks as the game goes on, ends up with
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: three total, and the MVP odds have shifted to now
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is a three to one long shot. He
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is plus three hundred. If you bet on Stafford meeting
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: whatever you bet, you get three times that amount. If
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you bet ten bucks, you would win thirty bucks. If
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you bet one hundred bucks, you would win three hundred dollars.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So that's right, Lorena, you know you're roll in those
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: deep pockets. If you bet three thousand dollars, you would
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: win nine thousand dollars. That's how thots would get deeper.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That's right, right, if you start off with deep pockets
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to get deeper deep pockets, right, that's right. But really,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: if you bet on Stafford now you probably just lose everything.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You bet on Stafford probably how it would work out.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I think he lost the MVP. I think he lost
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the MVP on Monday night. Right now as we speak,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Drake May, the Patriots quarterback, is minus four hundred, meaning
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you have to bet. Let's say, if you bet forty
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: dollars on Drake May, you would earn a measly ten
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: dollars payout. That's how big of a favorite he is.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You would have to wager four hundred American dollars to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: win one hundred American dollars. That's the way it would work.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So Drake May is a healthy favorite right now to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: win MVP when he was just maybe watching Monday at
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: football from the comfort of his own home, just kicking back,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you know, feet on the sofa, just like let's watch
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: some ball here, and then it's just Stafford pick pick pick.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh wow, I would imagine his phone was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: blowing up. He's got to have one degenerate gambler friend, right,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: he's got to have one guy. Hey eight dude, dude,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: look at these. He's like, I'm a professional football player. Now,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I can't have you in my life, degenerate gambler, you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: know that sort of thing. But yeah, Stafford, he blew it. Man.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He has lost the MVP. That's the way it's shaping up.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: And I don't think anything in Week eighteen is going
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to change that now. Sean McVay did confirm after the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: game that the Rams starters will play in Week eighteen,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and so that's that's a little bit interesting. The Rams
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: host the Arizona Cardinals. There's not much on the line
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: for the Rams. I think they they're a six seed
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: right now. I think they technically could move up to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a five seed and you could face the winner of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that guy awful NFC South Division, right, So some people
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: would say that's a more favorable matchup. So maybe you
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: want the five seed instead of the sixth seed. Yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I could see that, but I think it's more so.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I think that Sean McVay just wants the Rams playing
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: sound football heading into the playoffs, right. The seeding thing matters.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Health matters, of course, but playing your best football at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the right time. Like we always talk about this getting
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: hot at the right time, and the Rams are the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: opposite of a hot football team right now. It's amazing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: how quickly things can change. If you just go back
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: one week ago, you had the Rams. They were the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC playoffs, heading into week what sixteen,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: heading into weeks last week, heading into week sixteen. At
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Seattle Thursday night game, Rams at the time were the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one seed. Rams in the fourth quarter, sixteen point lead,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: They're ahead thirty to fourteen. They had just intercepted Sam
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Darnold twice. They're looking great. Things are looking fantastic, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: then somehow Someway punt return for a touchdown, two points. Okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: one possession game, Seattle's down by eight. Seattle scores again,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Seattle goes for two. Somehow Someway, the football gods, they
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: just twist things into Seattle gets the two point conversion,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: bounces off a Rams player's helmet, Sharpernage just picks it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: up in the end zone. They're like, that was a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: backwards pass. That's actually two points. Tie. Game goes to overtime.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Rams lose. Rams lose. Unreal and now you fast forward
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to what we saw on Monday night. Rams lose to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the Falcons and they are just slip slip slipping in
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture in terms of their seeding. They
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: have no chance to earn the one seed. Their odds
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: were long after they lost to Seattle, but their odds
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: are nonexistent now after they lost on Monday night. They
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: can not be the one seed. And right now they're
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the sixth seed. They can only move up to the five.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's the playoff picture for the La Rams.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Now the interesting thing with Atlanta. With Atlanta winning, this
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: shifts the playoff picture even more so. This was a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: good thing for Carolina, This was a bad thing for
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Tampa that Atlanta won. So what happens now on Saturday
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: when Carolina goes to Tampa Bay. If Carolina wins that game,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: they win the NFC South. But if Tampa wins that game,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Tampa hasn't won anything just yet. Okay, Tampa, if they
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: win on Saturday, they would then need to cross their fingers,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: hope and pray that the Falcons lose to the Saints
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. Tampa does not control their path to the playoffs.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They don't control it. Even if they beat Carolina, they
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: are not in yet. They would have to have the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Falcons lose, because if the Falcons win, it would create
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: a three way tie, and it seems like that would
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: just be poetic justice. Wouldn't that be fitting for the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: NFC South? How decrepit It's been all season, three teams
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: all finish eight to nine. All three teams at the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: top of the division have losing records. That seems to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: be fitting of the NFC South this season, doesn't it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I think Carolina's gonna
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: win that game. But if it were to happen and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: you had a three way tie, if Tampa beats Carolina,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and if the Falcons beat the Saints certainly possible, right,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you would have a three way tie and Carolina would emerge.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So even if Carolina loses on Saturday, they still have
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a chance. They would have to hope and pray that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Atlanta wins, and if that happens, Carolina is in. So
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that was a bad result for Tampa. Tampa wanted Atlanta
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to lose on Monday night against the Rams and then
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Tampa would control its playoff path. If that were the case,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: if Atlanta lost on Monday, Tampa would just have to
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: win on Saturday and they're in. But with Atlanta winning,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: that is no longer the case. Now Tampa needs help.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: That just shows you how far Tampa has sunk. Right,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that was a team that was six and two. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: started off the season six and two, and now they
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: are seven and nine. They need to beat Carolina and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: then they have to they have to get Atlanta to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: lose that and then they can get in. They went
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: from six and two to need Atlanta to lose. That's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: how That's how far Tampa has sunk. Man. I just
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think they're a dead team walking. I think their
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: spirit is broken. I think the weight, you know, the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: weight of losing cannot be undersold, like you put everything
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: into all right, we're gearing up, this is the week
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: we're gonna nope. Loss, nope, loss, nope loss. They've lost
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: seven of eight games. It's like putting like dumbbells on
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: your shoulders, just walking around all day. They're just buckling. Man.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think they get out from underneath this. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: think they lose at home. I think Carolina wins, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think we have to worry about Falcon Saints
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and who wins and implications. I think Carolina is gonna
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: win the game outright, and Carolina is gonna win the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: NFC South. That's what I think is gonna happen. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: did pull some Kevin Garnett vintage audio. It was fantastic
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: where he was talking about losing and you can just
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: you can feel the weight of losing and he's like,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it's killing me, and it's just it's so apparent how
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: much this hurts to continuously lose. I think that's exactly
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: what Tampa is going through right now. You watch them,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: just watch them play and you see goofy things. You'll
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: see Baker like throw a ball in the wrong spot,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: or maybe a player here is gambling, or they're trying
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to do something extraordinary to trying to get out from
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: underneath this, or they just don't look like themselves, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I do. I think it's the weight of losing repeatedly
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and they're just not themselves. Man, they are a completely
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: different team, and I don't think they turn it around.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I don't. I'm happy to bet against them. I've been
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: wrong before. Any Tampa fans that are out. There's not
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: a death sentence for your team. Could be dead wrong,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: but I don't think I am. I think Carolina gets
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it done all right. Eight seven to seven ninety nine
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: on Fox. That is your phone number, Malard Militia. Love
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to hear from you. Also on Twitter for you slash X.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: That is at the No Show is where you can
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: find me. I do I do have to wax poetic
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: about one Bijon Robinson later this hour. What a performance
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: by him. He is my favorite player in the NFL.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: That's who it is. It's Bjon Robinson. I'm a Dolphins
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: fan and you know I don't have a Dolphin. That's
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: my favorite player. It is Bijon Robby. He is unbelievable.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: That's right. We need we need to see the Dolphins
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: trade for Jon Robinson is what we need. No liked
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Defan ah Chan is a very good player, but Vijon
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Robinson is an absolute beast. That dude has everything. He's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: got quickness, speed, toughness, burst, physicality. He's got good hands.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: It's a receiving threat, obviously a running threat. That guy
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: is unreal. He had a ninety three yard touchdown run.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: The guy had one hundred and ninety five yards rushing.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He had five catches for thirty four yards two touchdowns.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: He diced up the rams. He was unbelievable, man, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: he's been awesome all season long. It's unfortunate some of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: these players that are just wasting away with Suki supporting
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: casts and uh, I wouldn't go as far as to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: say they have a sucky supporting cast, but it's not.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's not upper echelon, I'll put it that way. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: with Michael Pennix Junior hurt again and Kirk Cousins in there,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and it's not the greatest supporting cast. And for a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: running back like Bijon Robinson to be on that team
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to have no playoff success whatsoever, I hate to see
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that because he's so special. He is a special talent,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: awesome player. I want to get to something on Monday
• 17:18

• 17:30
  Speaker 1: of the razzle dazzle things that we've seen throughout the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: years in football, I don't know that we've seen this before.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Though someone can correct me, but off the top of

• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I am really But I don't ever remember seeing out
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of all that, like the razzle dazzles celebrations, I haven't
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: seen what the Rams defensive end Jared Verse did during
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football where Jared Verse so he blocked an
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: extra he blocked a field goal. There's a big moment
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in the game, right the Falcons had a fourteen point
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: lead at the time. They're attempting a field goal. They're
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: going to go up by three scores. They're gonna have
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a seventeen point lead. And Jared Verse did his the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Kenba matumba no no no, and he ran through the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and he just blocked the kick. The
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: ball bounced right up into his arms and he just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: set sail down the sideline, returned it for a touchdown.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And as he was running by the Falcons bench, he
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: threw up the deuces. He threw up a peace sign
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: as he's running right by. It was great. Now, now
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. Have you seen this before,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: because listen, we've seen I'm going through the Rolodex. In
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: my mind, we've seen Dion Sanders obviously comes to mind.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I think of him what the Niners, the Cowboys, even
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: back to his Falcons days, high stepping down the sideline right,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: putting the one arm on his helmet, you know, like
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: kind of doing like his elbow out in the open,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you know, as he's styling down the side, like I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: know all those I don't know that I've seen that.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen the deuces as you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: run by the opposing team's bench en root to the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: end zone. I don't remember seeing that. If you can
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: remember anything off the top of your head, I would
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: love to hear it, because I cannot recall seeing that
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: type of celebration. And we've seen a lot. We've seen
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: what DeShawn Jackson. Remember the punt return where he's running
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: alongside the goal line and then finally goes in for
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a touchdown. Oh man, my Giants friends, you talk about
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: being public enemy number one. My lord just mentioned to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a Giants fan. Just be like, hey, remember that Deshaun
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Watson punt return touchdown? Want to chew your face off?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Like, oh, de Sean Jackson and that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that hot dog. Oh man. They do not like that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: They are not fans of that. But the point is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: we've seen Nesty plunges right you go right to the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: goal line and stand there and then kind of Nesty
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: plunge like back you know, you fall down with your
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: back to the ground. You do that, like we've had
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: so many celebrations during plays in the end zone. After plays.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I don't recall seeing the deuces down the sideline. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: really don't recall that. I could be wrong, but it doesn't.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It doesn't pop into my mind right there that I've
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: seen that before. But if you've had if you had
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the the NFL nerd in me was curious to find
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: out if that has happened and if you can think
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: of a time that it did indeed happen. But man,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the deuce is in live action. That's a new one
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: for me. That is an absolute new one. You know what.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I know. Hey, I'm an NFL nerd. I admit it.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: And I also admit that I love Peacan Sandy's. I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: don't care who knows it. Everybody plain and dry, Brian. See,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So I grabbed some cookies for the show tonight. I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: grabbed some cookies and high tailed it over here. Not
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: great as it turns out with with time, you know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Like I had a ten minute drive to get to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: my little broadcasting location here and the show starts at
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: two am Eastern time, and it's like one, and I'm
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: just like, uh, I should probably get going, right, Like
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I still had to pack stuff up. I still had
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to grab all my chargers. I had to do stuff right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I have no time, Like it's snowing out, like the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: roads are icy. What am I doing? I'm like walking
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in here texting Loraina, like, hey, give me a minute,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I'll die you dial you right now for me out.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: I'm crazy. But you know what I did do the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: one thing I did right. I grabbed some pecan Sandy's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: is what. I grabbed these little short bread cookies. Oh man,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: such goodness. Right, I have what do you have? Reese's pieces?
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You know what is funny? Lorena? What you know what
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Reese's pieces? Who they make me think of every single time?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Who you're sitting right next to him? One? Justin Cooper.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm dead serious. So we did this goes back way
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: long ago. Coop and I were working together. We were
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: doing weekend overnights, right, So we're working the same shift,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: and I said on the air, I go whatever we
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: were talking about? Who knows? But I go, oh, yeah,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Rece's pieces And Coop almost fell on the floor laughing
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: at me. And I'm like, what what was that?
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: It?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Yeahs PCs and I'm like what are you three? I'm like,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: what's wrong with that? Coop? What?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: What?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And he's like pieces, pieces and I'm like what, Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I don't what how do you say it? And he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: like pieces And I'm like, wow, you're right, Coop, that
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it's totally that's totally how you say pieces. I don't
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: know why I've said that. It's that way my whole life. Yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he straights me out.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, funny because I think of that all the time
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: now when I see them. But it's funny that you
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: brought it up because I walked in the studio and
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: I saw Lorena and I said, that's my favorite candy.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: You're gonna give me some right.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: This is the first box of candy in my whole
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: life that I've finished in one day.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: That's it. M h you haven't finished candy in one
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: day before.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Now, Lorena doesn't finish anything like.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I've over indulged.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: So I looked at him and I was like, I
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: should share with you because I've eaten almost this whole
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: box and there's only three pieces left.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Now. Now this might be a stupid question, but but
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: humor me for a second. How do you eat them?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Do you just grab a handful and shove them in
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and that's it for one at a time? You go
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: one at a time? Okay? And then now how do
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you eat those one at a time? Right? Do you
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have any special methods? Okay? I don't. I don't know.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with that. I do enjoy.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: I have a cute but not one at a time, though.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I have a cute little hole made at the top,
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: So I just stick my finger in it and I
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: have it slide down and then I grab one.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I'll put it in my mouth. You're just creating drops here, Lorena,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is what's going on? We've got like five drops out
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of just that one sentence. You know, No, I will go.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: I almost go sunflower seeds with Reese's pieces, you know, Like,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys are big in the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: sunflower game, but that's that's how I stay awake on
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: long drives. You gave me that it works like a charm.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Lorena a fan at all?
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: What of sunflower seeds?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Correct?
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Really? Why?
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Because I don't want to have to like work to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: eat my food.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, But you don't. You don't choose sunflowers because
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: you're you're looking for a meal, you know what I mean,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: there's seeds. You're just looking for an activity. You're looking
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: for something to pass the time with.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: My dad was all about sunflower seeds, and I remember
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: like we would like drive to baseball games and you'd
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: have the sunflower seeds, and like I just could never
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: get the hang of it like he would. He'd be
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: able to like throw in his mouth and like chew
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: it and then spit out the seed and or spit
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: out like the shell and then eat the seed. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't, I don't understand how that's working.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I just I'm all I'm doing is I'm chewing and
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: eating the shell and it's gross.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And so you gotta go, like, I don't know if
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you even care, but what you gotta do every time
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: is you got to put the seed. Let's let's just
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: say on the this this is my method, Coop you could,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you could differ from here. But I put the wad
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of sunflower seeds on the left side of it. Okay,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: it's a wat of sunflower seeds left side of the mouth.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And what I'll do is I'll use my the left
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: side of my teeth, and so you just kind of
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: work a sunflower seed over there to your teeth and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you crunch the seed. But you have to have the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: seed sideways. That's the best method. You don't go up
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: and down. That's crazy. Only psychos do something like that.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna work. You got to go sideways with
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the seed. You crack it open, and then you work
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the seed out. Then you put the seed on the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: right side of your mouth. You spit out the shell
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: either on the ground or in a cup if you're
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: driving and you're using this method to stay awake, which
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: does work like a charm, by the way. That's the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: method right there. And then you keep the water sunflower
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: seeds in the left. You keep the actual sunflower seed
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that you have extracted out on the right. And then
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: when you spit all the shells out, then you eat
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: all of the seeds that you've saved on the right side.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It works like a charm and just that. I don't
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: know what it does. It just wakes your brain up
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: if you're driving a rounds. But I don't know if
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: truckers do this, I don't know. But if I were
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a truck driver, this is actually absolutely what I would do.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I'd be chewing sunflower seeds all day, or at least
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: when I got tired. That's right, man. It was such
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: a thrill whenever a trucker. Would you ever do that, like.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Do they put your arm out?
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and they I haven't done it in
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: probably three decades.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: On a trucker to reach out and let us know
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: if we can still do that, because I just feel
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: weird doing it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't imagine. There's not an age limit, right,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: if you just did that now, they're not like you're
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: not a little kid, No way. They probably do it
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: even more so if they if they saw you, Lorena,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you would get truckers to honk all day. Wow, you're right,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you're right. Right. Can you imagine a trucker that's like,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: now she's hot, I'm not gonna do it. They'd be
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: all about it. Give her a ride. Oh yeah, they'd
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: be all about that. All right, so we've gone, We've
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: got Reese's pieces. See how Coop, See how Coop in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a very you know, demeaning way set me on the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: right track. You know, he shunned me, he shamed me,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and then I've never forgotten it. So I appreciate that
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: from Coop, you know, I actually I you know what
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: shame now I think about it, Lorena, I put Coop
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: on the right track as well. That's what happened today,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you know. So Coop has been looking into this trip
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to Denver. He's gonna go out and see his precious
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Broncos here pretty soon. And it was funny because he
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: was like, do I try to buy the tickets early
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: or do I wait at day before the game? And
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, dude, Denver maya made. I wouldn't wait
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: before the game. Man, it's gonna be probably way more expensive.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: I told him. Remember in the break last night, I'm like,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple of friends who are diehard Bronco
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: fans and they go to games pretty consistently, so they'll
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: know I'll reach out to them. So I reached out
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to one of my buddies and I'm like, hey, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: got this friend, you know, big Broncos fan. You know
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he's under the false impression bo Nix is good. But
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that's another story for another day. But anyway, he wants
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: to go see the Broncos and and he's thinking when
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: should he buy the ticket. Should he buy him early
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: or like a day before the game. He just writes,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: buy them now, two exclamation points. You know, get on
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: it because it's gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be nasty
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: if you wait on that one.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: I can't imagine them getting any more expensive than they
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: already are.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, scene, Well I imagine dude, like that
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: fan base, you guys been dying to be in the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: playoffs here you're gonna be a one seed. That's the
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: other news today on Monday. Jim Harbaugh doing you guys
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: as solid. He's really trying to do his team as solid,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and in turn, it does the Broncos a solid because
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be resting Justin Herbert, He's gonna be resting
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the Chargers starters. Some of the other starters will not
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: be playing this Sunday against the Broncos. And so if
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: the Broncos win that game, they clinch the one seed,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: and my guess is they'll probably be fine against Trey Lance,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be the starting quarterback, a bunch of Chargers
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: backups players, So yeah, a bunch of backups in there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: I think the Broncos is gonna be fine and they're
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: gonna be a one seed. And so are we looking
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at what like rage against the machine tickets like times
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: two or what's the price range here? Coop something nasty?
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: It's it's minimum five hundred per ticket to get in
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: just yeah, just the worst possible seats. And then if
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: you want anything in the lower bowl, it's it's a
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: thousand plus. Yeah wow, which my wife's not too happy about.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Oh no, what are average ticket prices well, like like
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: during the regular season?
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, like I you know, I wouldn't say
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: it depends where you sit, right like it does depend
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: how low you are when you you know when you're
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: getting low.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: And it depends how your team's doing and when well,
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: who's who's on it? Like so when I I went
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: to the last time I went to Denver to see
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: a Broncos game, it was Peyton Manning was still the
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: quarterback and I sat in the lower bowl. It was
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: like towards the top of the lower Bowl, but it
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: was still lower Bowl and it was like maybe at
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: the twenty yard line, and I think I paid like
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: three p fifty per.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Wow, Okay, it's which not bad.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: You're down there, that's good.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty good.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: It's a little pricey, right, Like, there are a lot
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: of stadiums where you could get pretty decent seats, seats
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: and it's not going to break you, you know.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: But oh the Broncos game I went to earlier this
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: season at SOFI against the Chargers. Oh yeah, we got
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: lower Bowl in the corner, but still you know, lower
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Bowl for it was under two hundred a ticket.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: That's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad. Yeah, man, like SOFI,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man from I've been to every stadium
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: except Jacksonville, so one I have to like cross off
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the list. And I get, yes, I've seen a Niners game,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: but it was their old stadium. I haven't been to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the new Levi's everything else I've been to, so I
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: guess I technically have two to u two stadiums I
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: have to go see or see a game at. But dude,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I've been all over and I buy a ticket to
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: pretty much every place. There's been like maybe two exceptions
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: along the way, but man, most of the time, it's
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: not that much. Like the amount of times I've spent
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: over one hundred dollars, not many, not many times. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: they're you know, some might be a little bit higher up,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: but they're they're still fine.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: There's the typically sit h end zone. Huh.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I've seen a lot of games in the end zone,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: which is okay. You don't want to be low in
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: the end zone, like that's the worst spot to be, Like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: you have no, you can't tell right right now, they're like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: all right, they're going to the opposite end zone. They're
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: on like the thirty and they just ran a sweep
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and it's like, I can't tell if the guys I
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: picked up five yards or like twenty five yards. You
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: just can't tell. It's hard if you're sitting in the
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: end zone. You have to sit higher up or you
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: just can't tell what's going on, right like you you're
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: just guessing a little bit.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: And those are probably the cheapest seats in the stadium,
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: right higher up in the end zone.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, typically they are. But higher up in the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: end zone is it's fine. I actually like it. It's
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: almost like you ever see like the all twenty two
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: you know, they'll have like you know, like they'll just
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: have all twenty two players in the same camera shot
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: and it's like an end zone shot. That's what you're
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: seeing live. So if you don't mind that view, it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: pretty good about my advice. So you got to sit
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit higher up. I think it's better to
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: sit higher up in the end zone. The lower you are,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: you're just like, I don't know what's going on, man,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I can't tell. It's hard. Yeah, but like I love
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: fifty yard line too. The best thing I did was
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: when I went to a Texans game. I went to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: remember when the Texans beat the Bills. This is I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: don't know, within the last month or two ish something
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: like that. The Texans beat the Bills, and I was
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I went on the field for the flag. I don't
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: know if I told you this, but.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I saw the pictures.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You could just yeah, you could just buy tickets, like
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: like a regular seat, and it's like, hey, this is
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a special ticket. You're gonna be on the field before
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the game holding the flag during the anthem. And I'm like,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you can buy tickets for that. I had no idea
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: you could do that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I thought it was like a special to do because
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: of the radio or something.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: No, nothing, it was. It's just a RAM. I'm looking
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: at tickets and there I saw that one, and I'm like,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you can buy a ticket to do. I didn't know
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: who's who held the flag. I never thought for a
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: second who did that. I just thought, I don't know
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: what I thought. I never thought, who are these people.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't think they were just fans at the game
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: and they just were like, oh, well, we're here, we
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: might just hold the flag before the game and then
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: go to our seats. That's that's what they did for
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: that game. I was stunned. I had no idea that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: A volunteer basis, you know who wants to do this today,
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: or you put your name on a list and then
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: you finally get to do it.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you just buy a ticket. At least that's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the way they did it for that one. I did
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: see now, I notice all this stuff. On the Monday
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: night game when the Falcons beat the Rams, it was
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: all military. They had it, like everybody holding the flag
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was in a military uniform. So I was a little
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: bit different on Monday night in Atlanta. But the game
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I was at in Houston, you just bought a ticket
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: like normal and went down to the field and held
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the flag for the anthem. It was really cool. It
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: was cool. It was awesome. I would and then anyway.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: It was like the top level, Coop, but it was
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: pretty good. It was like around the fifty yard line,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: just really high up. I loved the seats. I thought
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: it was a great view for the game, maybe like
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: forty I can't remember what yard line it was, forty
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: thirty eight something like that. But good seats, very good seats.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: It would be a lot more expensive at Denver though,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: It'll be a lot more expensive over there. But if
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: you could somehow hold the flag before the game, do that, Coop.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely do that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: If you could be the guy that kind of like
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: parachutes in with the football, definitely do that. If you
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: could buy a ticket to be able to do that,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: do that. Oh that'd be awesome. All right. Eight seven
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox is your number? All right?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: A shout out to Ben here the who am I game?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So Matthew Stafford he joins in a list that is
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: uh not the list you want to be on. He
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: has tied the record for most pick sixes in his
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: NFL career. So he threw an interception that was returned
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: for a touchdown, right, a pick six? Right, So we're
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: all on the same page. So he tied the record.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: He has thirty two for his NFL career. Now, if
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: you had the guess who did he tie, I think
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: most NFL fans would would guess Brett Farv right, and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: that's exactly who he tied. So the subject to the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: who am I game is who's next on the list? Who?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: If Stafford and Brett farv are tied atop the list,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: who would be basically in third place? Who's the next
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: guy up? Most pick six is in NFL history? Who
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Am I? Your comments more than welcome on X At
• 38:17

• 38:20

• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Mallor so we're looking for the pick six
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: mavens in NFL history over here, right, So Matthew Stafford,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: he joined a list that is not the list you
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: want to be on. He threw his thirty second pick
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: six in his NFL career, so he is tied a
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: top the list with one Brett FARV. So you probably
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: could have guessed, like all rights thrown a lot of
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: pick sixes, who's thrown a lot of interceptions? Maybe Brett
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: farb Like I think you would have been able to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: guess that. But who is next on the list is
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: what we're looking for here. So not a Burner checks in?
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Who am I? Game? Shout out to Ben? He just
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: wrote Texans all time leading pastor. Matt Schaub went with that,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: let's see far out. Dave went with Oscar Meyer Eloy
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: from Compton. He went with it's Coop's childhood hero Jake Plummer.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: All good guesses about at all? Yeah, let's see I
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: think he might have had a new one over here.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Let me see real quick, let's go andy. He checks
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: in and says, who am I? Kirk Cousins? Do you like?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: That is what he said? All right? Mallard prop got
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: a nice little I don't know how he does these
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: AI things. He's got sir scratch off here. He's good.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: He had one of me today. I'm like, well that
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: is this was weird, man, This is really strange hearing
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the voice is not my voice at all, but pretty
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: well done. Next on the pick six list, that would
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: be my guy, Dan Marino. How about that? So Stafford
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: he ties Brett fav the most interceptions returned for touchdowns.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: They each had thirty two in their NFL career. Dan
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Marino next on the list with twenty nine. How about that?
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: All right? Next, I rant about something that's terrible.
