0:52
Speedy, you like my hair? You like the the blonde color?
0:55
Yeah, you get a little, little lighter I think than the last.
0:58
Little lighter light. I I like my new hat too XOX.
1:03
What is that spell? What does that mean?
1:05
Means hugs and kisses, Speedy. I'm not going to kiss you,
1:07
Speedy No, I'm definitely not going to like you, but I do like
1:10
the hat. It is beautiful and look, you
1:12
know it has a little like heartbreak on the back of you.
1:15
I like that speedy. Creative.
1:17
Yes, it's very creative, very, very nice as I I'm just like a
1:21
hat collector. I love my hats.
1:23
So yeah. Hey Errol, I got to.
1:25
I got to correct myself from the sportsman real quick.
1:28
I just found out from research in the backstage I could have
1:32
sworn Mikhail and Miles Bridges were brothers.
1:34
They're not related at all. They were just drafted in the
1:36
same year, had the exact same last name spelled the same way.
1:39
Both have. I was going to say something.
1:41
But I was. I did know that McHale Bridge
1:43
just doesn't have a. Brother, I could have sworn.
1:46
I could have sworn they were related the entire time they
1:48
were in the NBA. The bigger the bigger issue, in
1:51
fact, that Biles Bridges are still playing after what he did.
1:53
Yeah, that's another thing. I mean, I am very surprised he.
1:55
Still. Well, I mean, he just got put in
1:57
a headlock by Isaiah Stewart, who's a massive individual.
2:01
You got to watch that fight when you.
2:02
Get a chance. I love Isaiah Stewart for him
2:04
going after LeBron. I do very, very much so I like
2:07
Isaiah Stewart. So I I remember when he went
2:10
after Braun and he he started throwing punches at him and
2:13
Braun, all he does is talk crap. But Braun, I mean, his hair is
2:17
like his hairline is pushing so far back.
2:20
I think if Isaiah Stewart landed a punch, his hair, his hair
2:24
probably would have pushed even further back.
2:26
So that's a whole nother story. Anyways, we call this King of
2:29
the Hill. There's the King of the Hill.
2:32
This, Bobby, is the Beltline. You never ever hit below that.
2:36
Not that kind of king of the hill, you dumb ready?
2:39
Are. You ready?
2:41
This is King of the Hill. Man, that's the music.
2:47
This hasn't been. We haven't.
2:48
Played in a while. Welcome back to King of the
2:53
Hill. Oh, this is everyone's favorite,
2:56
kind of like round Robin trivia game.
2:59
We're going to bring everybody and we're going to bring in our
3:01
new interns for this one. Dom and Zoot are going to pop on
3:04
in. That's cool.
3:05
Jabba, if you can get the camera back in in the second.
3:07
When we start this round, we're going to have just going to
3:11
explain to everyone who's listening at home speed.
3:13
If you just turn the music down just a touch, I'll let them know
3:16
about the peasant fight, which is round one.
3:18
Everybody's going to have to answer a question.
3:20
You're going to have a top three.
3:22
We're going to go in like a snake draft type fashion going
3:25
down and then the last person goes twice and then back the
3:28
other way. Whoever has the best 3 will be
3:30
decided by King Errol, who will say who moves on to the Round 2,
3:33
which is the joust. New questions, same idea.
3:37
Give us your top three for whatever the question is and
3:40
then Errol decide who decides who comes on to take on the
3:44
king. At that point though, we go from
3:46
monarchy to democracy. Everybody back in, we vote on
3:50
Earth. Errol keeps his crown on the
3:52
last question or it moves on to the challenger.
3:55
Are you guys ready to play? King of the Hill.
3:58
Whore bag. OK, I'll take that as a yes.
4:02
All right, let's move this on to the King of the Hill camera,
4:05
which is just our favorite camera over here.
4:09
Here is the first one. In fact, we're going to go to
4:11
this one now that we have it. I don't care if Java streams.
4:14
Either no, I don't. All right, let's get into it.
4:19
Here's the first round fight. Oh, man, best Super Bowls of all
4:28
time. So the way this game works, you
4:30
can't just tell me the Super Bowl and who was in it.
4:33
You got to tell me why. Give us me at least one reason
4:37
why that is the best Super Bowl of all time.
4:39
You're being judged, Errol. Basically whatever you want, but
4:42
I know you like when they explain themselves beneficial
4:45
and make good points. Let's get it going.
4:50
Best Super Bowls of all time, please.
4:54
You know, we we don't need you to read off ChatGPT.
4:57
We understand. No, we're not goody.
5:00
We don't have the numbers of the Super Bowls chambered.
5:03
You can look it up, but you need to have your own reasons.
5:07
Here we go. Let's get the camera started and
5:11
we'll just go like this. Jabba will pop in.
5:13
We'll have Jabba go last. It'll be Speedy Dom, Zoot and
5:17
then Jabba for two speedy. All right, I'm going to start it
5:20
off with 1979. It was the the Steelers and the
5:24
Cowboys when they played the second time and those were two
5:26
of the best defense. Obviously the Steel Curtain with
5:28
the Pittsburgh Steelers and that doomsday Dallas defense.
5:30
And yet what we got here was a high scoring game back and
5:33
forth. The Steelers end up winning it
5:34
late, I believe on a touchdown by John Stallworth.
5:37
Lynn Swann, I believe was the MVP in that game.
5:39
And it was a high scoring game for the 70s.
5:42
What you never see, if you look at all the Super Bowls in the
5:44
70s, you barely ever saw even teams getting the 20 points.
5:47
So a back and forth side game, one of the higher scoring Super
5:49
Bowls ever and it was in the 70s of two teams with a lot of Hall
5:53
of Farmers. OK, dumb all.
5:57
Right, I got to go with Super Bowl 42,005, Pittsburgh Steelers
6:02
versus Seattle Seahawks, and now through bowl campaigns.
6:06
First of all, not just the Super Bowl run for the Steelers that
6:08
year, but they were the first six seed ever to make the Super
6:11
Bowl that year. All right, it was Jerome Bettis.
6:14
His last year, Big Ben told him to come back in 2004.
6:18
Jerome Bettis was going to retire.
6:19
Big Ben told him to come back. He came back.
6:21
Big Ben made the shoestring tackle for Jerome Bettis to save
6:25
the touchdown from the Colts defense.
6:28
The Colts kicker missed the field goal that game.
6:30
So they went on. They went on to the ACE
6:31
championship on it, winning that game in the Seahawks in the
6:34
Super Bowl, great Super Bowl, and they wound up winning it for
6:38
Jerome Bettis. All right, Zoot.
6:43
Got to got to go another Steelers Super Bowl Super Bowl
6:46
43 2009 Steelers Cardinals One of the most exciting finishes in
6:52
Super Bowl history. Plus you had one of the best
6:55
plays in this in Super Bowl history with James Harrisons 100
6:59
yard pick 6 to end the first half and then come to the end of
7:03
the fourth quarter. You get an exciting back and
7:06
forth game. Larry Fitzgerald long touchdown
7:09
right down the middle of the defense.
7:11
And then the Steelers come back the other way with a long drive
7:14
and San Antonio Holmes just a few plays before he makes the
7:18
catch of his life, has a wide open drop in the end zone.
7:21
And then 2 plays later, one of the best catches in Super Bowl
7:24
history to win a Super Bowl and win Super Bowl MVP.
7:28
It's got to be my pick. All right, looks like Jabba's a
7:31
little busy right now, so we're going to go to Tommy Poops on
7:36
Remote, joining us for 2A Deuce from The Deuce Man.
7:42
A deuce from the poops man. I guess you could say too.
7:45
But all right, so basically I'm going to go with as a non biased
7:50
Giants fan whatsoever, I'm going to go with probably the best
7:53
Super Bowl of all time, the Giants beating the undefeated
7:55
Patriots. The code has been 19 and O
7:58
Patriots ended up being the 18 and 1 patriots to the New York
8:02
Giants. Absolutely stellar plays stellar
8:05
amazing catches. What that one, of course, Eli
8:08
Man and getting out of the pocket, managing to make that
8:11
David Tyree catch and on top of that, a couple players later,
8:14
Plaxico burst doing what he did. 99.
8:16
Percent of the world. Getting it done, that's going to
8:19
be my first pick and since I have a number two, I'm going to
8:22
also go with the Colts and Bears.
8:24
Super Bowl. That really was the one that put
8:29
TomTom right. Excuse me, That was the one that
8:31
Peyton Manning. Of course, Peyton Manning, no
8:32
other team being the third seed ever even made it to the Super
8:35
Bowl at that team. You had him Tom Brady fighting
8:39
in an AFC. Then you get to the Super Bowl
8:40
and what an amazing showcase that was.
8:43
You had the Bears with Devin Hester and that amazing the way
8:45
to start off a game. You had an absolute amazing team
8:49
in the Colts, absolutely full with a Hall of Famers and
8:51
legends that that one has to absolutely be up there on the
8:54
Mount Rushmore Super Bowls. Let's go back the other way,
8:57
Zoot. For the second one, I got to go
9:00
the second Chiefs 49ers Super Bowl, which ended up in
9:06
overtime. I mean, that game was high
9:11
scoring back and forth, good offense, some good defensive
9:14
plays too. And then coming down with that
9:17
confusing end of the first overtime where the clock was
9:21
running down and the Chiefs were just being patient and everyone
9:25
watching at probably every, every Super Bowl party.
9:28
What are the Chiefs doing? They're letting the clock run
9:29
down. But they seemed like they were
9:31
the only one who knew the new overtime rules in the playoffs
9:35
where all they were going to do is flip sides of the fields.
9:37
But it didn't matter because they ended up scoring right on
9:40
the end, too. Definitely one of the most
9:42
exciting Super Bowls of recent memory and seeing Patrick
9:46
Mahomes. I know nobody likes Patrick
9:47
Mahomes, but I like him. He's an exciting quarterback to
9:49
watch win another Super Bowl. All right, Dom.
9:55
Yeah, I like that take. But yeah, I'm going to have to
9:58
say the the Ravens and 49ers when the lights went out called
10:04
the blackout brawl. That was an absolutely insane
10:08
Super Bowl. As the current 3 fan myself, I
10:11
want to see the Ravens get absolutely killed that game.
10:14
But of course they were doing the doing the kill in that game
10:17
to the 49ers until the lights went out.
10:20
Kobe Jones returning, that second-half touchdown, being up
10:24
20 to 6 was absolutely crazy. And then when the lights go out,
10:28
a whole different atmosphere and vibe comes back out. 49ers come
10:32
back, surge back, wind up winning that game 34 to 31 with
10:36
Colin Kaepernick at the helm, The Hardball Bowl to Harbaugh
10:40
brothers, that was just an awesome Super Bowl.
10:43
So nice to see. So nice to see the 49ers come
10:46
back and win that game. That was one of the most iconic
10:49
Super Bowls and one of the best Super Bowls to this death.
10:53
All right, Speedy for two. Before I get to my before I get
10:56
to my pics, Adam, it was funny. I was in high school with that
10:59
with that Super Bowl happened and my friends and I had a
11:01
conspiracy hearing that Sean Payton because that was the year
11:04
he got suspended, got revenge on the Saints organization because
11:06
it was at the Superdome and they messed up their stadium.
11:11
All right, so I'll go to I'll go to back-to-back here kind of 2-3
11:14
years apart of these two Super Bowls.
11:16
I'm going to start with the Rams and the Titans.
11:17
One that when it ended 1 yard short, the tackle by Mike Jones
11:21
on Kevin Dyson after Kevin Dyson obviously had the Music City
11:24
miracle the week before to beat the Buffalo Bills.
11:26
That was the greatest show on turf with that Rams offense.
11:29
It was Jeff Fisher defense and ended up actually containing him
11:32
decently throughout that game. Steve McNair, rest in peace with
11:35
a good quarterback at that time, played very well in that game
11:37
back and forth. But it's a tough thought to do
11:40
it when you're doing 1 yard short as the final play of a
11:43
Super Bowl, not to put that one up there.
11:45
And again, these are two teams that just relocated to the Rams,
11:48
Saint Louis and Houston Oilers after never making the Super
11:51
Bowl in Houston, going to Tennessee.
11:52
So I'll take that one as one and I'll reference one that we
11:55
mentioned earlier with Kenneth Walker now winning Super Bowl
11:58
MVP with the last one being Terrell Davis.
12:00
I agree with Errol. He should not be a Hall of
12:02
Famer. He was like a three or four year
12:03
peak guy. I'm surprised he got in as
12:05
quickly as he did, but he was Super Bowl MVP for the Broncos
12:07
against the Packers. That our friend Leroy Butler,
12:10
unfortunately. Lost it.
12:11
But it was a very good back and forth game, John Elway and Brett
12:14
Favre, 2 good coaches at that time, good very offensive
12:17
schemes and John Elway making that crazy run to get him into
12:19
the red zone to set up that play for the Broncos.
12:21
And they win the first of back-to-back Super Bowls, their
12:25
first ever in their franchise history.
12:27
So take that, soccer. As my second one in 98.
12:30
All right, back to Dom. All right, well, this is, I know
12:35
a lot of people hate Tom Brady. A lot of people hate the
12:37
Patriots. I do myself.
12:39
But I got to go the 28 to 3 Super Bowl New England Patriots
12:43
versus the Atlanta Falcons. Now that was an absolute crazy
12:47
comeback. I believe that is the largest
12:50
deficit comeback in durable history after being down 25
12:53
points. I'll never forget that lucky
12:56
catch with Julian Edelman in between like 6 Atlanta Falcons
13:02
defenders. All of a sudden him getting his
13:03
little right arm under that football in between their legs
13:07
and catching that coming down with that.
13:10
I knew right then and there something, something, something
13:13
was going on. Tom Brady leading those
13:15
game-winning drives, those two point conversions and then
13:17
finally tapping it off with the James White touchdown at the end
13:22
of the game to end it and to come back from 28 to 3 deficit.
13:27
Matt Ryan great year that year, but fortunately his defense
13:30
couldn't hold up and get the job done.
13:32
So that's. Definitely.
13:33
Do you know a rooster is a cock? All right.
13:37
Zoot. And I'm going to go to another
13:41
Patriots, Super Bowl 2015. Patriots, Seahawks.
13:45
It was a lot better than the most recent edition of Patriots.
13:48
Seahawks. Another game going back and
13:50
forth. Well, remember that Jermaine
13:53
curse catch on the final Seahawks drive?
13:56
I really thought the Patriots were about to go down.
13:58
As someone growing up in New England, not a Patriots fan, I
14:02
hated them. You know, I love nothing more
14:05
than being able to go to school the next day and make fun of all
14:07
my Patriots fans, friends, and when Jermaine Curse made that
14:11
catch, I thought I was about to be able to do that again the
14:13
next day. They get down to the goal line,
14:16
1 yard line. All you got to do is give it to
14:17
Lynch. The biggest, the best power back
14:20
in the league. Pete Carroll tries to get cute
14:23
and Malcolm Butler just makes the play of his life.
14:28
All right, and Tommy, finish it up.
14:30
All right, so I was actually going to go with that one too.
14:32
But since that one was taken, I will be going with the Saints
14:36
and Colts Super Bowl where Drew Brees did it finally and won
14:39
himself his first and only ring. But you know, that definitely
14:42
did wonders for him in his career.
14:43
Definitely that he was that guy, that guy that can lead A-Team to
14:47
a franchise. That did wonders for Sean
14:48
Payne's career. And it was an overall great game
14:50
overall. You had he what do you think of
14:53
craziest decisions to actually go for an onside kick out of the
14:56
halftime? And like I said, both teams were
14:58
just absolutely amazing and on fire that entire season.
15:00
Both teams had an undefeated season going into like Week 15,
15:03
which is absolutely amazing. That Drew Brees also didn't do
15:06
it against anybody. He did against Peyton Manning.
15:09
So that's got to be up there. Of course we want to keep best
15:11
Super Bowls of all time. All right, Errol, who's moving
15:14
on to Round 2? The Jousts.
15:16
I'll let you choose. All right, I'm going to go with
15:21
Speedy and I like Zoot's pics. We're going to go with Zoot.
15:26
We're going to move you on, you 2 guys back into the backstage.
15:29
We're going to move on to the next round.
15:30
Here it is. We'll just pop Dom off.
15:33
He'll be right hanging back. Here it is Round 2, the joust.
15:38
All right, no points or anything, but a new question You
15:42
get same idea. Go back and forth.
15:44
There won't be you go twice in a row in this round.
15:47
Just back and forth. Errol will decide who goes
15:49
first. This one best plays in Super
15:53
Bowl history, so you can go through the annals of the 60
15:59
different Super Bowls that have happened.
16:02
Tell us what the best plays in those games were.
16:05
Suit you're going to start off, then speed to go, then I'll go
16:07
back. I'm giving you the advantage
16:09
suit. All right, I'm going to go to
16:11
the Super Bowl. I already mentioned Super Bowl
16:14
43, end of the first half. The Arizona Cardinals are
16:19
driving, looking to take the lead, and James Harrison is
16:22
supposed to blitz. He's he's a blitzer.
16:24
That's what he does. He doesn't drop into coverage,
16:26
but instead he decides, you know what, I'm going to, I'm going to
16:28
back off. This isn't even what I'm
16:30
supposed to do this play, but I'm going to back off.
16:32
He backs off. Kurt Warner doesn't see it
16:34
coming at all, makes the pick, not only picks it off to stop
16:38
the Cardinals from scoring and a goal line situation, runs it 100
16:42
yards back all the way for a touchdown to completely change
16:47
the game. Speedy.
16:50
Got to go with the got to go with the helmet catch for the
16:52
Giants. David Tyree.
16:54
Eli Manning also with the escape too, which that was probably the
16:57
only time he ever did that in his career because he could
16:59
barely run. Are you a meat Bender?
17:00
No, I'm not a meat Bender, but Eli Manning bent out of several
17:04
Patriots players, including one we've had on the show in the
17:06
past, and Jarvis Green to make that escape and throw the ball
17:09
down field. David Tyree catches it right in
17:10
front of Hall of Famer and Rodney Harrison.
17:13
Willie Whopper's Speedy. But that one up there has
17:17
arguably the greatest. Reminds you of an old graphic.
17:22
Say we once had Zoot. You're up.
17:25
OK, I'm going to stay in the same game and go to San Antonio
17:29
Holmes in the back of the end zone to win the Super Bowl.
17:32
A guy that wasn't really even a star receiver.
17:34
He was just kind of a role player.
17:36
He made some good plays just sitting in the back of the end
17:39
zone, the toe tap. I mean, it's probably as close
17:43
as you can get getting that toe barely down before he fell down.
17:49
Probably one of the best, probably a top three catch in
17:52
Super Bowl history. And the fact that it was a game
17:54
winner makes it one of the best offensive plays of all time.
17:58
In the throw by Big Ben, that might be the best throw in Super
18:01
Bowl history. Just over the defender, not too
18:03
far right in the corner of the end zone to win the Super Bowl.
18:07
All right, all right, back to Speedy.
18:09
All right, I'll change it up a little bit.
18:10
Let's go for some let's go for some special teams here.
18:13
One of you mentioned the the Saints Super Bowl.
18:15
Why not the onside kick, that onside kick, a bold as bold of a
18:19
play call as you can get for Sean Payton going out of the
18:21
gate. The Saints, this is their first
18:22
time ever in the Super Bowl. There was a team that was
18:24
previously dysfunctional forever.
18:26
They didn't make the playoffs until 1989 and it come out with
18:29
an onside kick. Thomas Morstead, who is still
18:31
punting as a clear too. It's crazy how good his career
18:34
has been. Poor bag as a punter, but coming
18:36
out of the gates with that kind of momentum, I get to Peyton
18:39
Manning in Indianapolis. Colts number one seed that just
18:41
won the Super Bowl 3 years. To.
18:43
Do that. I think he has to be up there
18:46
for special teams plays. Ever.
18:48
I have to take a shit. All right, last ones, zoot.
18:52
I'm a biased Steelers fan, so I'm going to go to another
18:54
Steelers play. The trick play in 2005 against
19:00
the Seahawks, Antoine Randall out double reverse pass down the
19:05
field to Heinz Ward. Just.
19:08
I mean, you really, teams try to bring out a lot of new stuff in
19:12
the Super Bowl to try and throw teams off.
19:15
But you don't see stuff like that usually.
19:17
Yeah, sure. You see sometimes some passes by
19:22
non quarterbacks, maybe not maybe at the goal line or maybe
19:26
in a short yardage situation, but to have a wide receiver
19:29
throw it like 50 yards down the field for a deep touchdown, you
19:33
really never see plays like that in the Super Bowl.
19:36
So the double reverse pass Antoine Randall L to Heinz Ward
19:40
for me all. Right, Speedy, finish it up.
19:43
All right, I'm going to finish it up with the with with Julian
19:47
Edelman's catch in that Super Bowl 51 that you guys mentioned.
19:50
I mean, yeah, there was a little bit of a luck involved.
19:52
Robert Alford went for the ball and probably should have just
19:54
tried to deflect it instead of trying to go for the
19:56
interception. But Julian Edelman, like one of
19:59
you were saying before, smothered around 2 safeties
20:01
behind him with the Falcons. They had a linebacker that was
20:04
coming over there and to make that kind of catch in traffic in
20:07
that. Kind of moment, but.
20:08
With Tom Brady backed up as well as they did, they needed a
20:11
prayer basically and I think. That like a serial kill.
20:15
Wasn't as like athletically difficult as Tyrese, but I think
20:18
in terms of the awareness, in terms of the just having all
20:21
those defenders around him, I mean it's got to be up there.
20:23
This makes my pecker. Hard.
20:26
All right, Errol, who's moving on?
20:27
I'm going to go zoot. All right, let's go.
20:31
Let's try to work. For you zoot, very good.
20:34
Let's bring everyone else back into the stage and we're going
20:38
to get right to the last round of this one, and this one is a
20:43
fun one. You guys get to take on the
20:47
king. We're going to see if Zoot is
20:49
going to be the king next week. So here you go.
20:53
We're done with we're done with football on the show after this
20:56
question reasons why the Patriots lost and the Seahawks
21:02
won this game. Either you can say it's the
21:06
Patriots lost because of this or the Seahawks won because of
21:10
that. Whether it's you know more on
21:12
one team or the other, however you want to phrase it, I want
21:15
you to have fun and be creative with this.
21:18
We've talked about it all show it's time Errol, you are the
21:21
reigning king. Would you like to go first or
21:23
second I'll. Go first.
21:26
All right, let's begin. Everybody knows why they won
21:29
that game. Dominant defense.
21:31
I mean, the defense absolutely completely stuffed.
21:35
They're running game in the second-half and they couldn't
21:38
they couldn't throw against him. Diggs was their big power
21:42
superstar wide receiver. He couldn't get open.
21:45
Nobody could get open on that booty, whatever his name is.
21:48
The booster I he couldn't get open.
21:51
No. And Drake may just couldn't
21:52
throw the ball. He didn't have time to throw the
21:54
ball because he was sacked. How many times?
21:56
6 times it was just complete annihilation defensively.
22:01
Zoot. I'm going to say the New England
22:05
Patriots lost because they didn't deserve to be there.
22:09
The New England Patriots, they were good this season.
22:11
They improved a lot from last season, don't get me wrong, but
22:15
they played literally the easiest schedule of all time.
22:20
They played three teams with a winning record, the Buffalo
22:24
Bills twice and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
22:27
Neither of those teams were that great this year.
22:29
The Steelers, they make the playoffs and lose every year.
22:33
They're never a contender. And the Bills, well, they're
22:36
usually contenders every year because of Josh Allen.
22:38
They weren't the same team this year.
22:40
They didn't have the defense or the weapons like they normally
22:43
do. The Patriots simply were
22:46
outmatched by a team that deserves to make it to the Super
22:49
Bowl. And then in the playoffs, the
22:51
Patriots played against the Chargers, who their online was
22:55
completely decimated. Justin Herbert didn't play a
22:58
good game. Then they play the Texans where
23:00
CJ Stroud plays maybe the worst game of football I think I've
23:05
ever seen. I mean, if he just plays
23:07
average, the Texans probably win that game.
23:10
And then they go to Denver, where they play against a backup
23:12
quarterback who, if he didn't make that one mistake with that
23:16
backwards pass, Denver might have won that game.
23:19
The the Patriots were simply outmatched because they just
23:22
didn't deserve to be there. They were a great team.
23:24
They improved a lot. May did a lot of really good
23:27
things this year, and he deserved to be second in MVP
23:29
voting. But the Patriots just weren't
23:32
nearly as good as Seattle. Seattle was a true Super Bowl
23:36
team. The Patriots were not.
23:39
Let's move on to the next one, Errol.
23:42
Just absolutely dominate coat dominant coaching by Mike
23:45
McDonald. I mean you're talking about Mike
23:47
Frabel. He had such a good season.
23:50
Everybody was giving him the coach of the year.
23:52
But Mike McDonald, I said it on my story.
23:54
We're going to see who the better coach is when they go to
23:57
the Super Bowl and you just saw a complete domination.
24:00
Mike McDonald's defense completely out coached and
24:03
outplayed Josh McDaniels and and Mike Frabel.
24:07
Mike Frabel had nothing to say at the end of the game
24:10
throughout the from from for the first quarter to the fourth
24:13
quarter, the transition, even the second-half, the change of
24:16
pace was all Mike McDonald. He just completely out coached
24:20
and I'll play called with his coaches Mike Rabel and Josh
24:25
McDaniel. All right, Zoot.
24:30
The Seahawks skill players on offense made so many more plays
24:34
than any of the Patriots skill players.
24:36
There really wasn't anywhere where the Patriots skill player,
24:40
Andre Stevenson, diggs booty, None of them really did
24:43
anything. I don't think digs, digs had
24:46
like one or two catches. He didn't do much.
24:48
He's supposed to be their star player.
24:50
But the Seahawks, JSN had a good game.
24:52
He had a few nice catches. Cooper Cup had a nice game with
24:55
a few catches. And then Kenneth Walker, just an
24:58
absolutely dominant game. And it was certainly helped by
25:02
Seattle's online having maybe their best game of the year too.
25:06
But 170 total yards for Kenneth Walker.
25:09
I mean, especially when the Patriots skill players aren't
25:13
doing anything on the other end. If a guy's gonna have 170 yards,
25:16
it's gonna be tough to stop that offense.
25:19
All right. Last ones, Errol.
25:22
Well, he used the offense, so I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna
25:24
have to say that the Patriots defense, the Patriots defense
25:28
just didn't show up in the big parts of the game.
25:31
They couldn't stop Kenneth Walker.
25:32
This was the best, the second best run stopping team in all of
25:36
the NFL. And Kenneth Walker ran all over
25:38
them and in specific parts of the game where they needed to
25:40
clock up the middle, even take him on the outside.
25:43
It was just horrible defense by the Patriots, especially in the
25:47
second-half. When you think Mike Vrabel, he's
25:49
a defensive minded coach and he always says he comes from the
25:52
Bill Belichick coaching. You know the coaching system
25:56
where you stop the best guy and who's was their best guy
25:59
offensively throughout the game? Kenneth Walker.
26:01
You would have thought in the second-half they would stop
26:03
Kenneth Walker, especially how good their their, their defense
26:06
and their front 7 is. They couldn't stop them still.
26:08
So I would say the Patriots defense absolutely was a
26:11
debacle, especially. Our last one, Zoot for the end
26:16
of game. Well, we talked about offense,
26:18
we talked about defense. How about the special teams?
26:21
Seattle special teams played amazing.
26:24
Not just the kicker, Jason Myers, a Super Bowl record 5
26:28
field goals. But I want to talk about the
26:30
punter. He had two punts inside the five
26:33
yard line. He had another one inside the
26:35
10. It's tough when your offense is
26:38
struggling already. When you're that backed up, it's
26:43
so much tougher to get something going because you can get three
26:46
first downs in a row and you're not even at midfield yet.
26:50
So when your offense is already struggling and you're and the
26:54
other teams punters pinning you back every single time, it's
26:58
it's impossible to just get anything going without getting a
27:02
deep ball, which we saw. Drake may try to Force One and
27:05
it was an interception. I got to go.
27:07
Special teams made just an even bigger impact than there already
27:11
was on both sides of the wall for Seattle.
27:14
Special teams just put the nail in the coffin.
27:17
All right, so now we're going to vote and I'm going to just read
27:21
off what the the different reasons you guys said.
27:23
Errol gave Seattle's defense, Mike McDonald dominating Vrabel
27:28
and Patriots defense, specifically the run defense not
27:31
showing up especially late in the game.
27:33
Zoot didn't deserve to be there because of their easy schedule
27:37
and path to the game. Seahawks skill players made more
27:40
plays than pat skill players and Seattle special teams.
27:43
I'm giving this one to Errol 2 to 1.
27:45
I loved your special teams take there at the end, Zoot.
27:48
I think that that was one of the ones, especially the punter, you
27:51
know, pinning them back. I love that.
27:53
But I got to give the Seattle defense is definitely the reason
27:56
they they won this game. So I got to take that over your
27:58
reason and McDonald dominating variable is, I think, more
28:02
important than what the scandal players did in that one.
28:05
So I'm going to go with Errol on this one.
28:08
Speedy how do you vote? Yeah, I'm voting the same way.
28:10
I think the defense was definitely the number one factor
28:12
and I think the discrepancy and a coaching advantage too.
28:15
And so we were judging more of like the in games concepts.
28:19
Like, yeah, we know the Patriots got a cakewalk schedule
28:21
obviously. And I think there were a lot of
28:23
teams in the AFC that would have gotten exposed by that Seahawks
28:25
team this year. But I I think that wasn't as
28:28
much of A game factor. So I, I that wasn't probably the
28:31
lowest of the six for me. All right, Dom, how do you vote?
28:37
I got to go zoot. With that special teams on at
28:41
the end, I think was a very important factor that benefits
28:45
not only Seattle's defense playing in there, but also their
28:50
offense. If they don't get a first down,
28:52
they punt it. You get ball midfield.
28:54
I think that special teams take Big 1, so I got to go zoot here.
28:58
All right, 2 to 1, Tommy. Yeah, dude, I thought you had
29:03
some really good points. I mean, of course I thought the
29:04
Patriots have also had a Mickey Mouse schedule of of a schedule
29:07
all season long. And of course, that dude, that
29:10
punter was absolutely amazing. I kept watching him punt inside
29:13
the five those two times. I was just like, damn, this dude
29:15
does not miss. And what a great way to start
29:17
punting on a great day. But honestly, the two ultimate
29:20
deciding factors has to be just the fact that that defense just
29:23
looked, I mean, like Errol mentioned too before during the
29:26
monologue, it just looked like the oldest Legion of Boom
29:27
defense. You know, you had a if you were
29:29
an old Seattle Russ Wilson fan and everyone in all the days
29:32
back in the Legion of Boom days, you loved that that defense
29:35
yesterday. And on top of that, Mike
29:36
McDonald just absolutely out coached Mike Rabel.
29:39
So that was ultimately the two things that made them win.
29:41
And on top of that, the Patriots defense like Errol mentioned.
29:44
So. I got to go there and you know
29:47
what that means. By a vote of three to one, Errol
29:50
is king of the hill once more. Thanks for playing, everybody.
29:56
We'll play again sometime. Dude, you were really good, man.
29:59
Your takes, yeah, are fantastic and thank you.
30:02
The only thing I would say that you made a mistake is, is their
30:05
schedule. Their strength is schedule to
30:07
get there. That had nothing to do with the
30:08
game, you know. So if, if you if you would have
30:12
gave another take that had something to do with the game, I
30:15
might have swung your way. I mean, there was some takes
30:18
that you made a special team. And also Gonzalez, he played
30:21
fantastic. I mean, he shut down the the the
30:25
wide receivers on that side, but the Patriots couldn't stop the
30:28
run game. That was the, I think the the
30:31
problem why the Patriots couldn't beat them or couldn't
30:33
even keep into the game. And, and you're right, Myers was
30:36
unbelievable. So he really was so there.
30:39
You go. That was a great job, Errol.
30:41
We got one segment left, yes. Ladies and gentlemen, we call
30:45
this Dial it Up. This regularly scheduled hot mix
30:49
to bring an important news we got.
30:51
A big broadcast to do here. We're about to dial it up.
30:55
I'd take a shit. What about Steven?
30:57
Oh boy. Welcome back to Dial IT Up,
31:01
everyone's favorite Lightning round Sports News segment.
31:05
We got five stories. Errol hasn't heard them.
31:07
He's going to see him for the first time and dial up a
31:10
reaction and then we will react to his first take on it.
31:16
Are you guys ready to dial it up?
31:19
First story taking care of my the closer Emmanuel Class A
31:25
Apparently it gets worse than we thought, or maybe we thought it
31:29
was this bad, I don't know. But Emmanuel Class A is now
31:32
being accused of manipulating his pitching performance in at
31:37
least 48 games over a 26 month period from 2023 to 2025 to
31:45
benefit gamblers. This is now updated the scope of
31:50
the investigation. It looks like he, along with
31:54
teammate Luis Ortiz, accepted thousands of of dollars in
31:57
bribes to help gamblers in the doctor win about half,
32:02
$1,000,000. Obviously that covers apparently
32:08
a quarter, 25% of all games Class A appeared in in that time
32:14
period. Errol, dial it up.
32:17
Oh my God, find out that there was 48 games that he was
32:21
involved with making, you know, making viable bets and stuff
32:25
like that. It it just says one thing.
32:27
How did the MLB not know about this story?
32:29
How did the FBI link this? And and again, we don't know if
32:34
Emmanuel Class A had anything to do with the playoffs and what
32:37
against the Yankees, the Yankees were hitting home run after home
32:41
run against them completely dominating him.
32:43
This is a horrible story and it just shows you that Ben betting
32:46
is only going to get worse. These players are going to get
32:49
more involved. We had we've had many people,
32:51
Tim, Tim Donaghy on the show saying that it's going to be
32:54
more it's going to factor into college sports, especially
32:58
college basketball. Even worse.
33:00
This is not a good story for baseball and and again, baseball
33:03
is going to have to nip this on a bus.
33:04
But before it gets worse, remember baseball would be on
33:08
strike next year. Maybe with the new CBA rules
33:11
they'll have something involved with sports betting and how if
33:15
they do it more than one time, they're completely banished from
33:18
the game of baseball. It's it's frustrating to me
33:24
because I know, I know what happens.
33:28
I didn't think it was to this extent, but what are you taking
33:32
thousands when you're making millions?
33:36
What the hell is the point? Like what?
33:38
Like are you really making that much?
33:41
Because it originally came out, it was only 15,000, and now it's
33:45
more games. And he's helping.
33:47
So is he getting kicked back? You're already making $8
33:49
million. What the Hell's another 1530
33:52
grand? That's another Breitling watch
33:56
or an Automark, a game, whatever you want.
33:58
Like a Rolex. I don't care.
33:59
Like that's the part that I don't understand.
34:02
And obviously they're from a different culture.
34:05
Don't understand that. We'll never say I do.
34:08
But we all have morals. We're all human beings.
34:10
We know what's right and wrong and for you to not only just
34:15
dabble, but like to be like 48 games.
34:18
I mean, that's damn, it's 1/4 of the season depending on if you
34:22
if you take a 162 and I just I don't I don't understand it.
34:27
It makes the game look terrible in so many ways and which way I
34:34
think it it, it's not looking great and we're going to lose
34:39
because now we're going into a year where it's going to strike
34:41
and then there's a bad taste in people's mouth, not only on the
34:44
strike but with betting and everything that goes on top of
34:47
it. That's going to lead into the
34:48
season when we don't come to agreement that is just like it's
34:52
stacking on stacking and it's just not.
34:55
The game is in a great place. There was nothing better than
34:58
what Major League Baseball wanted this post season with
35:01
Canada, with Japan, with you Dominican.
35:04
I mean, we had everything that Major League Baseball could
35:07
want. And now we get a slap in the
35:08
face to find out this was worse than it was.
35:11
And now we're fighting for our lives to hopefully hold on to
35:14
the season. It's just going to leave a worst
35:16
taste and it it doesn't make it. And because now they're finding
35:20
this out, what are they going to do now?
35:22
They're going to dig more. They're going to dig more.
35:25
And it's like an iceberg. You only see a little bit.
35:27
And we're now we're going to hopefully we don't see any more
35:29
for the sake of the game and the integrity of the game.
35:33
But damn, how long did it take to find all the rest of this
35:37
stuff out? Who knows how many more people
35:39
deep it is. And I just, it's just not a good
35:42
position or a good state of where the game should.
35:45
Be and 48 games. How does the How does the
35:47
baseball not figure this out? 48 games he was betting.
35:51
On how would we get that number is what I really want.
35:53
Like can they pin? Did they go?
35:56
Did they have an arbitrator? Did they have one dude's job
36:00
like Zoot or Dominic is literally sitting going through
36:02
every game like oh, that pitch. Remember what he did the first
36:05
time he threw a ball here now, OK, 40.
36:09
OK, look at the like. How do you come to that number?
36:12
I bet that's what I don't I. Bet you there's.
36:14
Somebody inside to where they they looked at enough dialogue
36:19
and video to be like it was 48 games.
36:23
Yeah, and like I said, Java, that's literally one out of
36:26
every four games he appeared in in two years.
36:29
So that's crazy. Next, next story, Errol, I know
36:33
you're going to love this. Not really.
36:35
Duke got upset by UNC. Yeah, yeah.
36:38
Yeah, and it LED and. They led the.
36:41
And they led the whole game. UNC charges the court and
36:45
apparently some Duke staffers got rocked in the face by some
36:51
UNC fans in this upset. When I came back, this is coach
36:56
John Shire. I came back in the locker room
36:58
and I see he's got a bloody lip and he's disheveled and he
37:02
didn't know what happened. He got trampled on the floor.
37:05
That was my main concern after the game.
37:07
That's why I said what I said. Shire lost his mind a little bit
37:11
in the post game conference. Was very unhappy with how it was
37:15
done. If you remember last year, I
37:18
believe it was Houston, Kyle Philipowski that got hurt in one
37:24
of those games. I think it was also against UNC
37:27
where they got hurt with another crowd storming.
37:30
Duke loses. They only dropped 1.1 in the in
37:33
the standings. They're still fine, Errol.
37:37
What's it say about the future of crowd storming here if they
37:41
can't stop from being aggressive to the players and coaches?
37:45
Dial it up. If I'm going to storm at one of
37:47
the coaches, I'm knocking out John Shire, OK, I'm not knocking
37:52
out anybody but John Shire because he's a complete moron.
37:56
How do you let UNC come back in this game?
37:58
You're dominating the whole game and then the last again, last
38:02
three minutes of the game absolutely choked.
38:04
We saw that against Houston in the Final Four when you were up
38:07
by 12 with, what, 2 1/2 minutes left?
38:09
It's an absolute debacle. And then he comes out.
38:12
Yeah, I'm, if I'm one of the fans, too, I'm knocking out you.
38:15
I'm knocking out your coaches. I'm knocking out your players
38:18
because you're going to get knocked out of the tournament
38:21
the way you finish games. As far as them driving on the
38:25
This has been going on forever. It's been going on forever.
38:28
If the coaches know it's going to happen, they're not the home
38:31
team. You know what you do get the
38:33
hell off the floor. And John Shire's crying about
38:35
it. The only thing he should be
38:36
crying thing about is him not getting knocked the hell out
38:39
because if I was on that floor I'm knocking him the F out.
38:42
That's it. Because he's a complete moron.
38:45
We already we already mentioned this a while back moron.
38:48
If Duke does win a championship with George.
38:50
I'm a Duke. We're inviting Carl to the
38:52
parade before Errol because Carl Dose stood by John Shire
38:56
forever, I think. He's an idiot.
38:57
He's going to win the final game.
38:59
I didn't say I trust them to win they they actually have like one
39:02
of the highest rated Kempogs teams ever.
39:03
But can you trust it with John Shire as a As a?
39:05
Coach not at the end of the game.
39:06
No, I know the end of the game, definitely not ideal.
39:10
Going back to what you were saying about the court storming,
39:12
I always said that court storming and then same thing
39:14
with football too, is a lot of times more reserved for those
39:16
bigger upsets those those ACC schools or those like non power
39:20
4 schools that. That wasn't a big.
39:22
Upset, and obviously it was a big upset they were.
39:24
Undefeated. No, I know that I'm not.
39:26
I'm not saying that I'm OK with it actually, even in a rivalry
39:29
instance. I think that's why they're
39:31
trying to reduce it as a whole. But again, in a rivalry like
39:34
Duke, North Carolina when North Carolina.
39:36
Is dude you and Barry rank? UNC shouldn't have even came.
39:39
Back in that game, I'm I don't have a.
39:41
Problem. You were up by 10 with two
39:43
minutes. Almost 2 1/2 minutes left and
39:45
you choked again. The game was.
39:47
Over yeah I wouldn't storm the court all the time just because
39:50
if it's a road upset like if you're ranked on ranked but this
39:53
is fine coaching I feel bad for the I was to the coach that.
39:55
Got timing out to calling time out at the proper time, which
39:59
John Shea, John Shea has no understanding on how to do that.
40:03
He stinks. That's all it is.
40:05
And again, if I was on the basketball court, I'm I'm
40:08
running and I'm going to punch somebody out.
40:09
I'm punching him out because he doesn't know what the hell he's
40:11
talking and he's crying to the media.
40:13
Stop dude, you stink. Well, at least there's a media
40:17
to cry to. This next story kind of scares
40:20
the crap out of me. And of course it's Rob Manfred.
40:23
No please. The MLB in the union have agreed
40:27
to use AI of players to interact with fans.
40:33
How wonderful. So this means basically there's
40:38
going to be AI avatars of players that converse directly
40:45
to people, like replicas of Jabba would talk to Jabba's
40:49
fans. Now, I don't know how the
40:51
money's going to work as far as the likeness in AI and how
40:56
players are going to get paid. I'm assuming there's something
40:58
to it. But it was agreed by MLB Players
41:01
Inc, the business arm of the MLB Players Association and the
41:05
company Genies. There's going to be interactive
41:08
conversations, personalized interactions, year round
41:12
engagement and of course commercial offerings.
41:15
There's going to be roll out in the this year and it's going to
41:19
be contributed to some AI fan experiences.
41:23
MLB wants to do going forwards with fans remotely.
41:28
Errol, it's a brand new world. Dial it up.
41:32
First of all, am I going to get a chance to speak to an AI
41:36
version of Rob Manfred to tell him how stupid he is?
41:38
I mean, seriously, this is the dumbest, dumbest thing.
41:41
I understand it's starting to transition.
41:44
You don't need AI to talk to to to be the speakers for the
41:48
players that you could reach out to the players.
41:50
There's social media, there's X, there's Instagram.
41:53
Why do I want to speak to AI? If I want to speak to AI, I'll
41:56
just go reach out to ChatGPT or Google AI and have a
42:00
conversation to myself. This is the most dumbest,
42:03
stupidest, ridiculous move that baseball has brought to the
42:08
table. And if anybody copies baseball,
42:10
it just shows you how stupid and how dumb every organization is.
42:14
It's a dumb move. Baseball should not be doing
42:16
this. Eventually it will happen.
42:18
Eventually we'll have robotic professional athletes.
42:22
But right now we're what, what, five years into AI and we're
42:25
going to have AI speaking for the players?
42:27
It's dumb, it's stupid, it's dumb move.
42:29
They're not speaking for the players.
42:31
Are going to be their are going to be the player they're going
42:34
to be more players they're going to pretend their job yeah,
42:37
they're speaking they're speaking see that that that's
42:41
where that's where I hate it and I don't care what the non I
42:46
guess extrovert people, but that takes away from my brain because
42:52
what if AI is not like the way I perceive things or the way and I
42:57
don't know obviously I'm not that smart but if I'm having a
43:01
conversation, am I just agreeing with you and like having a great
43:05
conversation and like just making you feel good like no
43:08
like if you don't like what I'm saying I'm telling you because
43:11
like that's my opinion and that's how I feel like OK, am I
43:15
getting paid for it yeah, you have to if the PA agreed to it,
43:20
it just goes into our licensing check.
43:22
But at the same time, you're affecting my brain because now
43:25
what if this mom or dad or brother, sister, aunt, uncle
43:29
comes to me and is like, Oh, you agreed on such and such topic
43:32
and I'd be like, no, I that wasn't me, that was AI me.
43:38
Like you're taking away from my brand personally.
43:41
Like is AI that so far along where they follow me and granted
43:47
our phones listen to us like everything I type that is
43:50
related to my name? Is that all taken into my cloud
43:54
to where that's how it's going to respond?
43:56
Like let me get a trial run with this, like have somebody
43:59
interact and let me approve of it.
44:01
And if I'm OK with it, then I sign off on.
44:04
It's like, that's why Barry Bonds was never in any video
44:07
games or trading cards because he didn't sign with the PA
44:10
because he wanted his own brain. You're affecting my brand
44:14
because how the hell do I know what AI is going to say to this
44:18
person? I'll go one further, Jabba.
44:21
How does that help? It's.
44:21
Creepy. It's creepy as hell.
44:24
And who, who in their right mind that like so this 8 year old
44:27
kid, I have a son, granted he's a sophomore in college, but say
44:32
when he was 12 he wanted to talk to his favorite player.
44:35
And it's like, oh, I can spend 100 bucks and you can talk to
44:38
AI. Like I would be a shitty parent
44:41
That is terrible. Like hey, you can talk to the
44:44
fake him, but he looks like him and you're having a
44:46
conversation. Like that's what we're creating
44:49
for our children, no? Yeah, and Jabba, it's honestly
44:53
like, it's probably like, oh, hello, I'm Jabba Chamberlain.
44:57
Buy Upper Deck baseball cards, like giving you subliminal
45:00
messages because they have partnerships.
45:03
And I just keep thinking of that old South Park episode with like
45:06
the the doll. And it's like keeps telling them
45:08
to have Pearl Harbor with the subliminal messages because it's
45:11
got its own brain. They have an ulterior motive.
45:14
These AIS, man, I don't trust it for a second.
45:17
I wouldn't want kids playing with it.
45:19
I can't imagine a world. Like that man, it doesn't help
45:21
podcasting either when when you get a chance to listen to your
45:24
favorite player. And if you're if you're doing a
45:26
podcast, are you going to go out there if somebody reaches out to
45:29
you on the social media market and says, I reached out to you,
45:32
is this you? And you're going to be like, no,
45:34
I never said that. That was my AI, but how do you
45:36
defend yourself? So OK, so let me let me present
45:40
this question this for everybody.
45:43
So still part of the association.
45:45
What if somebody wants to interact with me?
45:50
Are you going to let me know or you just sending me a check?
45:55
I I guess that's something that they must have worked out.
45:57
I can't wait, Jabba, to find that I'm sure we're going to end
46:01
up talking about. This Rob Mansford.
46:03
Deal. There might be a check that
46:04
shows up from the PA and I'm like what the hell is this for
46:07
Rob? Mansford, who knows man who
46:10
knows. Just crazier than after the
46:13
crazier. This was a crazy move.
46:15
I don't know, I kept thinking of the legendary Boobie Miles when
46:19
Lindsey Exactly and Boobie had a torn ACL when he wanted to go in
46:26
and it did not go well for Boobie when he went in.
46:28
It did not go well for Lindsey Vonn as she attempted to go
46:32
downhill after like the first or second turn.
46:35
She wiped out. Apparently she has a complex
46:40
tibia fracture and is going to need multiple surgeries on top
46:45
of the torn ACL. She ate it super hard.
46:49
They had the helicopter off the the the course I guess and it
46:54
took about 1/2 hour. Saw it earlier today.
46:57
Pretty terrible. But you know, maybe you
47:00
shouldn't be trying to compete in the Olympics with a torn ACL.
47:04
You're not Kurt Angle with a broken frickin neck over here,
47:07
Errol. Dial it up.
47:09
First of all, that's one of the hardest downhill courses in the
47:12
world, and one of the fastest. It's not even snow.
47:16
And and and you have a torn ACL going into, you know, the
47:20
practice turns and everybody his her coach was out there speaking
47:24
for her and saying, oh, she looked good on a practice turn.
47:27
When you're competing, you have to go faster and you know, you
47:30
got to go faster. How did you think on a torn ACL
47:34
she was going to be able to go down one of the hardest hills in
47:37
in the whole world? It makes no sense.
47:40
I knew it was going to be a catastrophe before it even
47:42
happened. Brittany actually told me before
47:46
you got a chance to see it at 5:30 in the morning that there
47:48
was a whole big story that Lindsey, Lindsey Vonn fell down
47:52
and almost killed herself. And it was horrible to watch,
47:55
which she's an Olympic champion. She's such a great Samaritan,
47:59
perfect person when it comes to the Olympic sports.
48:01
And then a father came out and said my daughter should have
48:04
never done this. She stay with and and I and he
48:07
said he went out there today when she was speaking to one of
48:10
Yahoo Sports is analyst and writer says you will never see
48:14
my daughter compete in the Olympics ever again period.
48:18
That's what he said. So it's a horrible story to see
48:20
her go down the way she did. And the final thing you're going
48:22
to remember of Lindsey Vonn is that absolute crash and being
48:27
flying off the court flown off the course for the last time of
48:31
her Olympic championship career. So it's just a horrible story.
48:34
Yeah, it was an absolutely devastating injury for some.
48:37
Obviously there's a lot of risk when you're already.
48:39
Doing she's 41, too. For somebody, yeah.
48:41
She started her first Olympics were in Vancouver in 2010, and
48:45
she was. Younger than you, Errol.
48:46
Yeah. Thank you, Jabba.
48:48
Yeah, she had two World Championships, I believe that
48:50
the two years before that. So 41 years old.
48:52
It was obviously it timing it just it sucks with the happening
48:56
right before the Olympics. It's always one of those
48:58
unfortunate things. And for somebody that is 41
49:01
years old and it's just trying to build on when it's already an
49:03
amazing legacy that she has in skiing.
49:05
And like you're saying, Errol, the slalom course is a is a
49:08
tougher 1 1/2 with the with the flags, with the change in
49:11
direction with those hills, it's, it's a lot more difficult
49:14
for somebody like. It's like the second hardest
49:16
course to to to to go downhill from in the world and she's and
49:21
as fast as it is down the course she on a torn ACL.
49:25
She thought she was going to get down there.
49:26
Yeah, in in timely fashion, but. Being just with the years too,
49:30
like you're not going to be able to compete in another Olympics
49:32
again, so you get the incentive. We talk about with guests all
49:34
the time, like it's so hard to give up the game that you love
49:36
and the sport that you love. And that's obviously her head
49:39
was saying, oh, she shouldn't compete in it.
49:41
I'm having leg injuries and surgeries and all that stuff.
49:44
She wasn't saying yeah, she. Wasn't 100% healthy and she was
49:47
100% healthy. That's fine.
49:49
It's Lindsey Vonn. Let her let her try to win
49:52
another a bronze medal or a silver medal or a gold medal.
49:56
She wasn't 100% healthy. She just had ACL surgery a year
50:00
and a half ago and she's they before the tournament, before
50:03
the preliminaries, they said that her other knee wasn't 100%
50:07
healthy. If you know that in your coach
50:09
knows that and he's being interviewed by all the media,
50:12
why would you let her go out there and risk her life?
50:14
Yeah. Somebody, an Italian downhill
50:18
skater, a man's Italian skater, I mean a skier last what was it,
50:22
6-7 months ago, went downhill over there in that same downhill
50:27
competition in a World Championships and died.
50:30
Yeah, and there's been there was the US bobsled guy that died too
50:34
and one of those training as well.
50:35
It's very scary. A lot of those training
50:37
facilities too. And the other thing, too, is, I
50:39
mean, obviously the skiers looking up to her going to say,
50:43
all right, we want your spot anyway, but that could have been
50:44
a spot for somebody else to make their first Olympics, too.
50:46
Like, if you knew that, if you knew that wasn't good.
50:48
Yeah. But again, that's the dilemma.
50:49
You run. It's your first Olympics.
50:50
You wanted to. Say, and if it's and her father
50:53
was a competitive skier, he was a great competitive skier.
50:57
If he knew hers, her, his daughter wasn't 100% healthy,
51:00
why would he let her go on that downhill and actually compete in
51:04
the Olympics? I don't care if it's Lindsay
51:06
Vonn, you're putting her at risk.
51:08
She could have died. She could have died on that
51:11
course. That was horrible to watch.
51:14
And it's remember Lindsey Vonn going down like that, an Olympic
51:17
champion. It's just horrible to see.
51:19
Lot multiple surgeries may never.
51:21
I mean, I'm assuming it never again ever changed from
51:23
surgeries, You know, All right, last story of the night, guys,
51:26
we made it. This one.
51:28
I couldn't, I didn't realize this was happening to this
51:30
extent. But Yasiel Quigg was found
51:34
guilty of obstruction of justice.
51:37
He's facing up to 20 years. He has been sentenced May 26th,
51:41
but do you know what his defense was for obstructing justice?
51:45
His lawyers claimed that when he pled guilty originally, he
51:51
didn't mean to. He just has a third grade
51:55
education and does not understand how to do these legal
52:02
proceedings you speak of basically was their defense.
52:06
He did not win shocker on that defense.
52:10
He initially pled guilty to a felony charge of lying to
52:13
federal agents investigating, of course, an illegal gambling
52:16
operation. He took a plea in August of 2022
52:20
after he acknowledged racking up about a quarter $1,000,000 in
52:23
losses over just a few months. I pled guilty.
52:28
Let's just say it didn't go well.
52:30
He wanted to clear his name. I never should have agreed to
52:34
plead guilty to a crime I did not commit.
52:36
Well, the courts said he committed it.
52:39
And I mean, regardless of the fact that he's probably going to
52:43
jail for a while, probably won't be the full 20 years, but he's
52:45
going to jail. This has got to be one of the
52:48
dumbest offenses I've ever seen in my life.
52:51
Errol, dial it up. Here's my question.
52:55
If I was a serial killer and I didn't graduate from the third
52:59
grade and I killed about 10-15 people, well, I didn't graduate
53:04
from the third grade, so I guess I should be acquitted for
53:06
everything. I'm not smart enough, so I
53:09
killed everybody. I mean in the.
53:11
Way you eat string cheese though string.
53:13
Too. I killed string tree I I kill
53:15
string cheese. So you're absolutely right.
53:17
I, I, I mean, this is a horrible, terrible, dumb,
53:22
ridiculous story. And I remember Yasiel Puig, he
53:25
was a good player. I watched him play for the
53:27
Dodgers and, and he bounced around at the tail end of his
53:30
career. But the guy wasn't smart.
53:32
He never was smart. Even when he spoke to the media,
53:34
you couldn't understand him. And when he did, when you did
53:37
understand him, it was like, it's like talking to a child.
53:40
So maybe he didn't graduate from the third grade.
53:43
That's fine. But when you come out and say,
53:45
well, the reason why this all happened is because I didn't
53:47
graduate from the third grade. It just tells me you're trying
53:50
to hide more things and just show people that you're even
53:54
Dumber than you. Look, I again, if I was a serial
53:58
killer and I didn't graduate from the third grade and I
54:00
killed 15 people. And the first thing that I say
54:04
when I'm speaking to, you know, the judge and the jury and they
54:08
asked me, well, why did you do this?
54:10
Well, Judge, I killed 15 people because I didn't graduate from
54:14
the third grade. I'm just, I'm stupid.
54:17
What can I say, Judge? Let me go.
54:19
I'll never do it again. I mean, we'll let anyone who
54:24
wants to come in just jump in over the top.
54:26
All I have to say about it is I work with kids that are special
54:30
needs and have, you know, a third grade education.
54:33
They understand right from wrong.
54:34
They understand they wouldn't have done something like this,
54:36
this ridiculous, ridiculous excuse.
54:40
I I can't even believe it. He's probably he.
54:44
I mean, I guess he deserves. What?
54:46
I'm John Wayne Gacy. I'm John Wayne Casey.
54:49
I killed over 30 something boys and I buried them in my garden
54:53
and under in my basement, my crawl space and and they ask me,
54:58
they interview me and they say, well John, why did you do this?
55:01
Sorry Sir, I, I didn't graduate from the 2nd grade.
55:05
I wasn't taught from right and wrong.
55:06
I I'm sorry. Just let me go.
55:09
I, I just killed 343435 boys. I mean, I'll never do it again,
55:14
Sir, I promise I. Didn't know I couldn't do that.
55:17
My bad. I'm.
55:18
Sorry, I didn't know I couldn't kill people for a living.
55:21
I don't know, yeah. Makes sense.
55:24
Anyone got anything to add on this one?
55:26
Because I mean otherwise. That's it for the night on
55:29
another great episode of Dial It Up.
55:33
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
55:36
Yasiel Puig. I mean, how stupid could you be?
55:39
I mean, wow, I and honestly you. Know guess who's agent is?
55:44
Who is it? Trevor Bauer's agent.
55:46
There you go. I mean, Trevor's a nice dude
55:49
too, by the way. Shut the front door, Joey it.
55:52
Was nice. It was nice to me.
55:56
I know Jabba don't like him. I didn't like him.
56:00
I just, I just know more than I can say.
56:02
I know, I know, I know, I know. He's not a good person, but he
56:08
was nice to me. I mean, that's.
56:10
It's the same thing I say about a rod, so I guess I can't be a
56:13
hypocrite. That's true.
56:18
Anyways, that's it for our show, ladies and gentlemen.
56:22

57:13
on to the fans. So it's it's really been great.

57:28

57:39
So thank you to all the fans, Jabba.
57:41
I mean, obviously you're, you're my partner.
57:44
Do you have anything to say before we go?
57:46
No, it's just been, it's been a fun run.
57:48
This is going to be a great year.
57:51
Obviously, hang with me. It's going to be touch and go
57:54
with Carter and all the stuff, but love being a part of it.
57:57
Love having you guys on. You guys haven't met me yet, but
58:01
my dumb ass is right here. So glad to have you.
58:04
But no, it's it's been fun. I've learned a lot.
58:07
I pay attention to different things more.
58:09
And what I pay attention to is, is thanking all the people that
58:13
watch and spend their time and when they're in the car, just
58:17
listen to us and downloading us and, and just listening to the
58:20
craziness or whatever the hell is going to come out of our
58:22
mouths because we don't really know.
58:23
This is not scripted. We just kind of go, we kind of
58:27
have a, an, an outline of what's going to happen.
58:30
We don't know if it's going to really happen.
58:32
But no, just appreciate everybody, appreciate all you
58:34
guys and your time and the hard work that everybody puts in.
58:36
And it's going to be a fun year. That's all I can say.
58:40
It is. And then congratulations to your
58:42
son. He's he's got a chance to do
58:44
some big things at a Hutch and then D1 baseball possibly.
58:48
So I'm hoping for the best for your kid.
58:50
And Carter has been a fan of our show and we're a fan of his and
58:53
we only wish him the best. And we have a lot of great
58:56
things coming up and we're going to.
58:58
Announce the stuff, Oklahoma. There you go.
59:01
So yeah, well, that's true too. But we have a lot of great
59:05
things coming up and and like I said, it's going to be a big
59:08
year for us. I really do believe that by by
59:10
September, we're going to have a huge announcements and, and, and
59:14
all that other stuff. So for all the fans that TuneIn
59:16
and support us and and love what we do.
59:18
Like, like Jabba says this, this show is not scripted.
59:22
Everything we do is off the head.
59:24
We don't know what's going to happen.
59:26
And that's what makes us unique. We don't have people talking to
59:29
us in our, you know, our ears giving us information before we
59:33
speak. You know, it's, it's really just
59:35
off the cuff. And that's what makes the the
59:37
show very unique. And that's what makes us
59:39
interesting to listen to. So thank you to all the fans.
59:43
And we'll be back on Thursday, Speedy, who we have.
