• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Double Deperoux off.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: To the races into the avaland zone and it's not wide.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: By a diving Manson.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I think he got a piece of the last second
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: I want to play by Josh Manson leaving his feet
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: and I think he just got enough on that puck.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: To send it wide to the post.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Parker Kelly stars, Oh my goodness.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: That could be the goal of the year.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: Parker Kelly.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Works this way through three mammoth players, collects the puck
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: and he rips it inside of the ear post.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Double Dippodero Bruce Brown on the inbound over to Yokich,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: guarded by Garza, back door cut down the ground, dot
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: two hands.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: Denver leads it by eighteen points with less than three
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: minutes to go in the game against Boston, And this thing.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Is, and the last thing is, I think I just
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: made it look too easy.
• 1:09
  Speaker 7: Did look pretty easy from both of those teams last night.
• 1:11
  Speaker 7: Now a little bit of a struggle in between it,
• 1:13
  Speaker 7: but two wins in the double Deperoux.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, Hi Vic, good to have you back. I missed you,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Pop Pop, miss you Pop Pop Hi. How you guys doing.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I missed a lot you did.
• 1:29
  Speaker 7: You missed a lot in the last few days, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: we can get back to it and just a little bit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Typically I would say walking in the door after one
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: am last night and coming in this morning on very
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: little sleep, Normally I would say, I'm not in the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: mood for your face today, so don't start with me.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a given, so I won't say it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: Say miss you Pop Pop. We'll start with the Nuggets
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: last night because the Nuggets did something that we've been
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: begging to see. It's not just that they won comfortably.
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: They won with great defense late how about that? Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: I mean their offense was struggling. Obviously, Jokic is still
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: like the efficiency numbers are just weird me out with him.
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: Eleven to twenty eight from the floor is not Nikola
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: Jokic offensive basketball. But the way that they finished the
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: game with defense was huge. And it's what we've been
• 2:25
  Speaker 7: begging for because most we talked about this for you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: the last three days straight. Yep, figure out how to
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: play clutch defense? And what until three minutes left in
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. You held Boston to ten points in
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: the fourth Yep, I'm gonna need a little help from you, Victorio. Today,
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: I can tell that you're not doing so hot. Your
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: eyes are sort of glazed over. It takes you a
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: while to get back in the flow.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: But I left the game, the Nuggets game the last
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: time I saw it because I'm doing my own thing,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and obviously we started before the Nuggets did. Last night
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in Utah, it was thirty nine to thirty six Boston
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: and Joker was four of eleven from the floor. Yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: And I look at Johnny and I go, crap.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. This ain't good, man, this ain't good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And then I'm off right because I've got to worry
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: about my own contest. And then I come back later
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: on and I'm like, this is like I'll start of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the fourth club.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm pleasantly surprised. Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Nice, And then and then it was it was great.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: And so then I saw everything, read everything, and so on.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Eight times out of ten when Joker struggles like that
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: from the field, the Nuggets are gonna.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Lose and plays eight minutes.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, nine times out of ten. When Joker struggles and
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Jamal leaves, the Nuggets are gonna lose ten times out
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: of ten when Joker struggles from the field, Jamal leaves,
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: and they're missing ag and Peyton Watson, and they're playing
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: a team that is among the best in the East.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: But you know what they did last night? They played defense, yep,
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: And they played the type of defense that we hope
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: to see come playoff time, that they that we know
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: they possi and that frankly, they don't show it to
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: us enough. And that's a big reason why they've not
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: fulfilled maybe for some expectations so far. Now, I know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: after that Golden State game, they had a day to
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: go through film, a day to watch film, and I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: sure some things were said during that film session, like, listen,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: we can change the defensive alignment. We can do all
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: this strategy stuff known to man. But at the end
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: of the day, defensively, the only way to win is
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: to put some energy into it and some intensity into it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And you saw that yesterday.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: You saw that with the screen navigation, right, do you
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: know the toughest thing to do in basketball motion, the
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: toughest thing to do in basketball defense is to get
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: through screens. It's anybody, anybody listening to this show right now,
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: please please agree with me.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And if you don't, just lie to yourself.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Is there anything harder in the sport of basketball from
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: just a hustle and energy standpoint, then to get through
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: a screen?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Vic, how many times in your life have you seen
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: guys who look like they make it look like they're
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: fighting hard through a screen, but they're really not.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that? The art of seeing all
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the time, Absolutely, Brett. I can't tell you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many times I've seen the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: guy backcheck in the NHL and he's looking like he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: really trying to backcheck, but he's just like you doo.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So he does that.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: He does that thing when you're sitting at the crosswalk
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: or at a stop sign, somebody's trying to cross the
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: street and they do what looks like the fast walking
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: move even though they're moving the.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Same that's correct.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they make it look like they're really
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: busting their humped back check, but but they're not.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They're just sort of gliding back the other way.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: They're making it look Vic like they're trying to fight
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: through a screen like I'm giving it and they're like, eh,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: screw it. And Vic Bretton and I talked about it
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: when Joker comes out after the Golden State game and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: his first words are, yeah, there's concern because we're losing. Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking of myself. You better respond the next contest.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And that was a very to me, that was a
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: very nice second half response.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Up for all the people that continually refer to us
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: as doomers and oh my god, just calm down.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: They're fine.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I take my tune from the best player on the team.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: That's that's the temperature I take. And if the best
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: player on the team, the franchise player, says there's calls
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: for concern, well, then by god, there's cause for concern.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: You don't know more than.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: He does, Okay, And he told you after that Golden
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: State game. You I saw that entire interview that did
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: not sound like a guy who was confident in his
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: team's effort. Yeah, And so since that game, they got
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: together closed door, went through film, and I guarantee it was, Hey,
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: where you guys want to go with this type of moment?
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: What do you guys want to do because if you
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: don't give the effort defensively, we have no chance. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: it started with Bruce Brown last night, who was phenomenal.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: Bruce Brown has been so much better. I was a
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: little concerned early in the year. I was like, Bruce
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Brown just doesn't look quite like he did a couple
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: of years ago. Seems like he's starting to find it now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: I think since I saw him in the airport when
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: it came back from Nebraska.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it changed everything. Yeah, that's it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: But they went on a fifth basically what ended the game.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: They went on a fifteen to ozer run late night game,
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: and I am way more impressed with the zero than
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: I am the fifteen. We know they're capable of scoring
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: at a very high rate inefficiently because they're arguably the
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: best offense in the NBA. I mean, they put up
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: a ton of points a matter of getting stops and
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: getting stops when they matter. Having that happened yesterday and
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: doing that, by the way, early in the fourth quarter,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: when the quote bench players were in and the starters
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: were kind of sitting out, it allowed them a little
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: bit more time to get a breather. You extend a
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: lead and you win comfortably, which has been hard to
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: come by now two of the last three games. It's
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: weird because as bad as the Golden State game was,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: this game and the Portland game were beautiful because you
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: got two blowouts and comfortable victories by the end of it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: smashed and sandwiched in between a terrible end of a game.
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: So hopefully they're starting to find that a little bit more.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: I'm glad I didn't do the show on Monday. I'm
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: glad I wasn't here on Monday because that finish in
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: Golden State was one of the most atrocious things I've
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: ever seen. I'm so glad. I frankly probably saved my job.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: I worked over the right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Armed thing on this chair with this. Yeah, I was
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of Mick, a lot of this right here.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I was completely sideways about that Golden State finish and
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: just the lack of anything and from the really with
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: six minutes to go in the game, and the turnovers,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: and just the lack of carrying of the basketball, carrying
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: for the basketball.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Can I talk today? You had a late night mos,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: It's okay. I watched your broadcast. It's a good broadcasts.
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna watch the cartoon tonight.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, what do you call it?
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: That tun and cartoon?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: How much?
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: How many times are those guys gonna go to New
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: York to work on this car?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: This is crazy, by the way, that's the most John.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Those of you don't know that Keith and Riker are
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: calling the game via cartoon.

  Speaker 2: I'm serious. F think about it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: You spent thirty seconds of radio time just talking to

• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I'd be more than happy to depart right now. I'd

  Speaker 3: I've got by the way, I've got another game tonight,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Pop Pop got another game. I'd be more than happy

  Speaker 3: to let you, Camelback Rider take over the show and
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: do your own thing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: This guy when I was gone, who polised him?
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: I feel like we policed him.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: We kept him in check.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: David Adaman, by the way, after the game, talked about
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: Jamal's illness. I want you to hear this for a second.
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: Jamal is when I got here, I just went and
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: said hi to him, and he lets awful. They gave
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: him all the medication. It did not help. He said
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: something to me the starting line, just like I just
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: nothing's really clicking here, and then all kinds of bodily
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: things were happening. So he definitely went home. I just
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: I just made it like Jamal. I think we all
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: know that Jamal's played through all kinds of stuff. So
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: if he says he's sick, he's really really sick.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I know what that is.
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: When he says all types of bodily things were happening,
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: that sounds like what I had, which is the old
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: dreaded neurovirus.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: How long did it last? I mean in total? Yeah,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: because okay since tomorrow.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: The miserable stuff was like a day and a half.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: It lingers beyond that. And if he tried to play
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: through that, he's the most insane human being I've ever
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: seen in my life. Vic, you take a sip of water,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: it's coming out somehow, Like that's how quick it hap.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I love the way Edelman just talked the way we
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: talk on this show. He looked awful.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: That's the thing, though, Dude, if you have that, there's
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: one benefit having neurovirus. You look in the mirror after
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: a couple of days you're like, I have ABS. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: had no idea here, Oh crap.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Look at this thing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: What did Hastings do to this awful I I was
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: going to step in, and then I thought about describing
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: my own experiences with stuff coming out and honestly often
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: at the same time, and that's not fun.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, explodes from the back.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: So I but I thought better of it. I'm just
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: going to keep it to myself. But I think anybody
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: who's ever had something like that understands that is it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: just so unpleasant. Yeah, Vick, if he's got that, this
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: is gonna be game time decision for okay.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: Sa I just wonder, yeah, if he'll be available tomorrow night,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: because that's gonna listen, this schedule is ridiculous.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: It's a ridiculous schedule for both Look at this.
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Avs have twenty sex well now twenty six,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: but they had twenty seven games and fifty one days.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: But for the for the Nuggets, per se, it's the hole.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: They've dug right, it's and it's not a hole. They're
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: the third seed, it's fourth?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Is it fourth? Now?
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: Well, they're tied with Houston or both seven and a
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: half games back, and they don't have the tiebreakers so forth.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: I haven't even paid attention. Yeah, why don't they have
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: the tiebreaker? They've beaten Houston two out of three times.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. No, I think it's more of a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: percentage thing. It's not a tiebreaker thing.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I think, Oh, you're right, yeah, when they duel in
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: the tiebreaker Houston, trust me on that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I've looked into it. But this is the the card
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: you're dealt now.
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: With twenty three games to go, there's very little room
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: for air against a very tough schedule, and you know,
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: having guys back would be great.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: I wonder how close Ag and Peyton Watson really are.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, I keep hearing within the week, we'll see
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: maybe with twenty games to go, that means they're three
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: games out.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be there tomorrow night. Wait wait, wait,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: wait wait wait, whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me we're talking about maybe a week
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: week and a half.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: They could both be back.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was planning on age somewhere deep into the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: month of March.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: They're already playing, They're already on the practice court, they're
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: they're advanced in there.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: Well I've seen that before, Vic, I know, but I
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: mean see, and this is where I struggle with this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: At what point you just say, okay, it's time. You
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: could play this out for the next six months?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Yea, all right? Three out three, four, four, five out five? Iright?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Push this? All right? To push that?
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: At what point you just go play and you get Look,
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: you could wait an extra three weeks for AG's hamstring
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: and it could pop again.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: You could do it again.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: I mean, so when you're dealing with muscle pulls and
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: soft tissue, there's no real date. It's not that you're
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: coming off an ACL and the recovery process is much different.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: It's it's much easier to test that soft tissue in
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: hamstring it goes.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: So we'll get back to this in a bit. Do
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: you want to get to the and their win last night?
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: The only guy who didn't play was McKinnon. Surprised that
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: all of the other three did. But it is a
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: Nuggets ticket Thursday with the keywords for your chance to
• 16:08

• 16:49
  Speaker 7: return from the Olympic break. They were without Nathan McKinnon
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: but with everybody else, which.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I was kind of surprised by.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: We asked Bed Numb before the game yesterday when he
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: was on with us, how many people are going to
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: be on the ice, and he said none, Ya.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Pretty much.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean he would if we turned off
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the microphones, he would tell us. But he did not
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: want it to get out to anybody who could possibly
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: relay it to the Utah mammoth, So there is there
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: is something.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: How did he answer the question exactly? He said, we're
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: still kind of thinking about it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: I don't want to say it because I don't want
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: to give the other team because I.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Don't want to let the mammoth know. Yeah. Yeah, so
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: he told the truth. Yeah, yeah, you know, he always is.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: It's so funny.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: See how easy that is, by the way, just to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Say, listen, we don't want that out there, rather than
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: being a jerk about it. Yeah, because some coaches take
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: the jerk approach about it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I knew what's the question, what the situation was, but
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say anything, and he's not going
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: to give it out.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Why would you.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: There is something about McKinnon not playing the hippa that
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: I noticed that I want to get to in a second.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: But first, this is what got things going. Nelly diving man.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I think he got a piece of the last second
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I want to play by Josh Manson leaving his feet
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: and I think he just got enough on that puck
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: to send it wide to the post.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Parker Kelly stars. Oh my goodness.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: That could be the.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Goal of the year.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Parker Kelly.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Works this way through three mammoth players collects the puck and.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: He rips it inside of your post. So, first of the.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: First of all, hell of a play by Josh Manson
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: the little diving poke check that he had. Second of all,
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: I think that's a butter my ass and call me
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: a biscuit. I think when he scores a goal like that,
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: he had a change.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: It. It was in my head. But I don't want
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: to go to that well too often. By the way,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: you cannot believe. So that was picked up by chick
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Litz and by other outlets. I'm getting a little grief
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: for that call.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Why oh, because people thought you were maybe hyperbolyzing goal
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: of the year.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I meant for our Hawk team. Yeah, I didn't mean
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: for the f and league. You know what, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: You know. What's so funny is that this is how
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: self absorbed people in the hockey world are.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: The fans of other teams, they think.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: That's what you're going to finish that since by saying
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: this is how self absorbed I.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Am, well maybe me too, maybe I'm the same way,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: but they think that they immediately jumped to.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Well, my guy had a goal.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not First of all, I'm not talking about your guy,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: whatever team it is. And by the way, it's mostly
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Dallas Stars fans who've got to be the most insufferable
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: f's on the planet right now. And number I'm gonna
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: stop saying that too. I'm just in one of those
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: you know, three hours of sleep month. Yeah, your call
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: was number number and number two. I'm not talking about
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: your guy. I'm talking about our guy and number two.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: This is to our audience. I'm not broadcasting. I'm not
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I'm not broadcasting to Dallas Stars fans, all right, So
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: wh but anytime Chicklets will pick something up of ours,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: every other fan base obviously follows chick Lits and they're like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: oh my god, Tins Tompson had a goal way better
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: than that in November.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: You know that cares this exactly. I'm just like, God,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: these people are in suffer.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Apologize if I got a little follons that said the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: a warden told him to suck it, Yeah, but he can't. Uh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: it was it was just it was a phenomenal goal
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: by Parker Kelly.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: Not not only that, but him to to really fight
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: for the puck on the second goal. I think he
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: set that one up too. That led to Olafson scoring
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: gaves you the two nothing lead. It did feel a
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: little bit like a team that didn't practice together and
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: came back from an Olympic break in that are well
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: in the first period, it was just you know, you
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: have the brock Nelson goal that gets called back because
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: his stick grazes Vimelka's glove.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: I still don't get like how it looked to me.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: I know, nobody as a rule. Wasn't he outside of
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: the restricted area. Even the stick looked like it was
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: outside of it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: On time, the entire glove wasn't what they looked at
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: it far longer than I would have or thought they
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: would have. I'll tell you, Vick, you've been at the
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Delta Center in saut Lake City. I've been there numerous
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: times for NBA. I've been there now only twice for NHL.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: We did one game there last year, one game this year.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: All the other games have been National TV in Utah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: which is crazy, I guess, but that's been the case.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: So they reconfigured the lower bowl. They've expanded out the sides.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Remember Vic, how it used to be short. Yeah, those
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: stands would come down. All that all that is now
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: expanded out. They've rea during the summertime, they rebuilt the
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: whole thing.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: How did they retro fit an arena?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: They thus, they spent a lot of bread and busted
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: their humps. They did a good job. That being said,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: there is no press box for a guy like me.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: So I'm down at the top of the main concourse
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: and I'm on I'm sort of on the I guess
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I'm midway through this zone. Okay, I'm not even at
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: the blue line. The blue lines to my left as
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it, then the red line, then the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: other blue line, and we're out there in the crowd.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Like people walk up in high five and they want
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: photos and it's cool, it's awesome.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: But that building is just so dang loud there too.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really is. Notice that. But did you
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: just say people stop buying, want photos?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of Avalanche fans there last night, dude,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: a ton of Avalanche fans.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It was really cool to see.
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: It felt like it took them a second to get
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: back into it. Once they found that rhythm in the
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: second period, they really started to go.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: That is correct, the I mean they really started to
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: kick it up or not.
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you a question though, something I noticed
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: and I mentioned this in the Olympics, and you rolled
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: your eyes at me. I'm sure you're gonna do it again.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: But the afsre struggled on the power play this year.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: But our new power play tracking mathematician, our PPTM over there,
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Steve Nelson, now has the numbers. What's the post Olympic
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: break power play percentage there?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Nelly? Uh uh? Jeff uh so? God he has one job.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, give me a sick I'm coming up with thirty
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: two point three to three repeating of course percentage of survival.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a lot better than we usually do. Which
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: It's a lot better than what the ed usually do, Nelly,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: But put down your flute and get out your calculator.
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: But on that goal, I told you this, moj when
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: I was watching Checkia.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: See there's the eye roll.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: I was waiting for it well, and I saw Marty
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Nacho setting up in the place that McKinnon usually sets up.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I go, damn, that looks pretty good. He ripped one
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: from McKinnon spot last night.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I've seen McKinnon rip a thousand from that and score
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: plenty goals.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Is it? Is it unfair?
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: To think maybe it's okay to flip that a couple
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: of times.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I think what you should do starting tonight against Minnesota
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: is just sitting eight, don't put him on the power play.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Well, then what's your solution.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: I just maybe Nate can be a bit of what
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: Natus's role was before, and maybe Nations can spend a
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: couple of games in that spot.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I want you to take Hart Trophy winner, one of
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: the best players on planet Earth, and you tell him, hey,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: get off your ball, you get off your wall. You're
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: gonna fall to the other side. They were at fifteen
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: before the Olympics, understood I And if so, what you're
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: saying is just ride this Marty.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Nature's bombing it from the top of the circle. Marty's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: playing really good hockey right now. Well so is Nate.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: How many times has Nate bombed one on a one
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: time or from the dotter or above a billion?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I haven't been able to discuss. Why don't you just
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: weigh in?
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, what took place at the Olympics, you know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: because I missed the first three days.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Today's Thursday, that was that was? I know, I mean,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: I know, but I wonder you know it's in the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: moon landing had a chance to discuss it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: Yet I understand I and and that's why I wish
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I would have been able to do the show on Monday,
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: because I had so much to say about what took
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: place in Milan, and I don't know what I want
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: to talk more about. And I'm sure you guys have
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: discussed it thoroughly. I have never seen an athlete or
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: set of athletes denigrated more than Team Canada standing in
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: line after one of the most disappointing finishes in their history,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: having to accept a stuffed animal from an adult upon
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: watching the opposing team celebrate. You just lost one of
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: the biggest games of your life and they're handing.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: You maybe the biggest animal life who on This is
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: where I'm gonna have to if my Italians made that decison.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make some calls. But I guarantee you this
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the Italians.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: No, it was the Italians. Don't do this, it's the
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Olympic Committee. Who in the Olympic Committee decides. You know what,
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: these guys might be down, they may not be happy.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Let's brighten their day in their mood. Let's give them
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: a stuffed animal.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I think we should do this in all sports.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Actually think it's a brilliant idea that the loser has
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: to take, has to accept, animal, has to accept if
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: you lose the Super Bowl. Hey, sorry, Patriots. I I.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Was hoping McKinnon would.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Bite its head off right there, just just just snarl
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: and bite its head off.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I don't I'm not like you. I try not to
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: fight with people on the text line or on the show.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe what's your face? Loretta Lorettatta, She might be the
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: only one because she's a nasty piece of work.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: No offense, Loretta.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: But vick I brought this up on Monday, and I
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: had a response from a woman named Beth.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: See if I can find it anyway. Beth, Oh god,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: how do I put this?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: She got mad because she thought that McKinnon should have
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: been more conciliatory.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Hold on a second, if you think And then so
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: somebody else waited in and said, yeah, you know, this
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: is crapped out of dada. And because Nelly, you would
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: send out the clip of me of me blasting the
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Olympic committee for doing this vic anyway.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: We lost Beth forever.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: She followed me on on the old Twitter machine, and
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: she said, oh, by the way, your show is terrible,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: all right? And I said, look, Beth, I said, I said, look, Beth,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: you can eat. I don't have the time, nor the energy,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: nor the want to to argue with a grown woman
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: about handing a frigging stuffed animal to a grown human
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: being after they lose the biggest game of their lives.
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: I want the holy I think the name bethside.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, here's a stuffed weasel. To ease your pain.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: I want you to think of the most devastating losses.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: It's insane that you can imagine. Okay, let's just go
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: through devastating losses. Here in Denver, a'll Game seven against
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: the Minnesota Timberwolves at home.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Will you blow up? What was it at twenty point lead?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: He can't. I forgot what it was twenty points and
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: it was brutal.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: They line up at half court after the game and
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: they give the Nuggets, who have to sit there and
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: watch Minnesota celebrate. They give each of the Nuggets players
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: stuffed unicorns. Could you imagine?
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: No? Could you?
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Twenty thirteen Broncos lose to the Ravens. It's cold outside, Nope,
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: can't go inside the loss.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: You imagine everybody goes line lining up at the fifty
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: and they hand them a stuffed weasel.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, for god, I need to know seriously and
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: I mean this, I mean this, whoever came up with
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: that idea, whoever it is, I need to know who
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: it is.
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: They said that every Olympics does this. We looked it up.
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: Everyone has had some sort of stuffed animal thing.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: They stopped giving out flowers VIC and pyeong Chang in
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, and now they give the friggin thing.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, friggin thing.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Is it the metal? What you the medal is enough? Hell,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised that McKinnon didn't take the medal and throw it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: I So just hey, a couple things here. As again,
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: the Avs won last night. I did want to mention this.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: This was bizarre because I went from the guy that
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: I thought I was alone on an island fighting people
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: about Sammy g being better than people perceive him to be,
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: and now all of a sudden, it's like the Avs
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: are idiots for trading same. Jard Coulet's pretty good last night,
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: solid defenseman. Exactly what you want three block shots, didn't
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: make a mistake, did what he was supposed to do.
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: I I thought that he looked completely viable and exactly
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: what they build him for when they made the trade.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: You wanted a bigger, solid, disciplined defenseman.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Mosh.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: I didn't hear you say his name pretty much at
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: all last night, which is typically a good thing for defenseman.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: He's not screwing up.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I mean he's moving the puck when it's an extra
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: attacker situation with two minutes to go last night, Jared
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Bednar puts Kulak on the ice. I think that tells
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: you he's like, also, like, let me see you in
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: this situation firsthand.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: And number two, I think you can play in this
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: situation if I need you to. It helped the spot
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to put him in now again, the Avs were up
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: two goals. But see the extra attacker. Let's see how
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: you handle it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Dude. He's thirty two years old.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: He's played VIC a boatload of playoff hockey the past
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: several years. No defenseman in the last two years in
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: the postseason has played more games than Brett Koulak.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Nobody money too.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: It opens up, It opens up two and a half.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Now you have eight point seven total to work with.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: Which is the trade deadline that's coming up soon, isn't it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I think it's a sixth I think so. See it's
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: coming up uh soon. But my my assumption is the
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: ABS are still going to make a move or two,
• 31:19
  Speaker 7: especially with the money this opened up. Yeah, it's the
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: sixth at one o'clock. So next Friday.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: God, I just vict I'm glad you brought it up
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: just because of my I would I would love for
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: you have.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Been here on Monday. I know you couldn't.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I know you had some things you had to take
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: care of, but the whole thing that led to the
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Beth fight. And I told Beth you could either unfollow me,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't. I can't fight about a stuffed weasel.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I said, you can either unfollow me after your insult
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: because I don't, or I can block you.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I go, I don't want to block you. It's so ghost.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to do that. I don't
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: like blocking people.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: So why don't you just don't do the best for
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: you and my on follow me and we'll call it
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a daby. I don't know if anybody knows if anybody
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: knows Beth. But I'm like, how do you get so
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: far into your feelings that you're defending somebody for being
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: handed a friggin' stuffed rat when you lose the golden
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: medal in.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Overtime a grown human being.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: And by the way, that guy went back and watched
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: the Team Canada of the women's team, right, they did
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: the same damn thing that Marshan did and Jarvis did,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: and McKinnon did and everybody else. Nobody who loses in
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: heartbreaking fashion wants a stuffy. I hey, for Darcy Kemper
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: who didn't play, and he can tave you the home
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: with his kids, I'd put it on the shelf.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Great, Hey, forget the stuffy.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: I give those teams crazy standing out there and watching
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: the other team celebrate. I give them in hockey, it's
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: one of the rare sports where there's a handshake line
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: after the other team stands there and has to take it.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I give them full credit for doing so.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure I could uh.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: Another reminder, the keyword for this hour is dogwood. All
• 33:06

• 33:44
  Speaker 3: If I mean, I don't know, I don't Yeah, how
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: do you do that?
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: That's a that's a touchy subject, right.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because you've got three guys who got you
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: got three guys who.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Got so hard, tripped out.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: You've got two guys who got bronze and two guys
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: who got nothing, squad douche.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: But that doesn't mean you just ignore the fact that
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: one of.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Your gu no, no, no, no, you you you gotta
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: give them some love. What would you like them to do?

  Speaker 3: Just bald eagles flying around Ballerina tonight?
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: I'm curious if anything is playing. That's all I didn't say.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I want them to do anything. You know what I
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: want them to do? Hand out stuffed animals? Great, that's
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: what you know what tonight.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: For for Gabe who didn't win anything, Give him a
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: stuffed animals that makes him feel Yeah, I'm sure that

  Speaker 6: would really ease the pain I wanted hundred Steve Johnston,
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: He'll tell you.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: Don't worry guys, because they have the cartoon game that
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: they're gonna be playing. Maybe they can do something during
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: that seven o'clock the night Abs and wild back after this, I.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: Think guy hear them calling, Oh, Beth, what can do?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: The song's terrible? Beth? What can I do? Who sings
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: this kiss? It's terrible? One little inside dope? No why?
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: Because I nine out of ten I won't be interested
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: in it. But since you've already offered it, go ahead.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: Can we all agree that this song sucks?
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Please? Can we? Anyway? I was watching.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: I was watching the show on and I can't tell
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: you how stupid this show looks on television and on Twitch.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: When there's no music that they can hear because we
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: play the music over the radio.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: It's so dumb.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: In fact, that's why I would suggest strongly stop playing
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: so much music, Melly, because we look stupid over the television.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: See but it's it's a radio program's experiences on the radio,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: radio homes.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: You want to see my face?
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, then you're gonna have to deal with Mosure singing
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: off key with no background.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: But here's the truth.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: I think our audience has parsed out where I don't
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: know how many people listen on the radio versus watch
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: on altitude or watch on YouTube or Twitch. I'm very
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: curious to see what the numbers.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Show us, very curious. What if the numbers tell you different?
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, then my wife is brutal to me. Man,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: then I'll.
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: Continue to sing songs with no music behind me.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not changing anything, Vic to back up your Sentiment's
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: a good moment.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Ago, my wife types in stop, thank God, and I say,
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I say singing Beth.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Question Mark. She says, Beth was right. Your show sucks.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: There are only two people on this globe who choose
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: to police Mark motion.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Me and the bear. And that's it. You guys.
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: When I'm gone, I know you let him run wide. O.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: Nelly, Nellie, help Nellie see Joe, I try my best.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: Nelly is I love the show my six hundred pound life.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I love it. I don't know why the show. It
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: just speaks to me.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: And every time they go and see doctor now in
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: that office talking about why are you six hundred pound?
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: And then there's always the person that's in there with him,
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: usually a wife or a husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, he goes
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: just fade him soups.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Oreo cookies and like, you're an enabler. That's Nelly to Moser,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: he's always been that way.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: He can't say no because Nelly's sort of built that
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: way to a trivial music stuff.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: The problem is Moser.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: Sometimes we have like seven things going on at one
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: time where Moser's asking for one song in my ear
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: and my other ear, Brett's asking for a clip, and
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: it's like what you got when when all the toddlers
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: are fighting.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Now about what you just said?
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Stop, I gotta give Moser his about what just shut
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: up so that I can do the other stuff for
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: the show. All the toddlers are fighting, Moser gets his Abba,
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Brett gets his Adaman cut, Like I.
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Gotta think about whatever just said when I make a
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: request to Nelly, it's about the show. When Brett makes
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: a request to Nell, it's about the show. It's about
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: playing sound for sports. When Mostre makes a request, it's
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: about a song he likes. So where should.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: You fall in line? This is what Nelly does.
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: Nelly, I could say to you, Gosh, I just I'm
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: telling you, I feel like I gotta kick this heroin thing.
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: And you're like, no, man, you're young, You're fine, You're good.
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, why would you Why would you treat all
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: three requests equally.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: When one of them has nothing to do with the show.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Hey, Brett, ninety five percent of gamblers stops just before
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: they hit date.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Too early?
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Is that meme with the guy mining and he's got
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: the diamonds and he's walking away with his axe?
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: Hey, this is weird and has a ripple effect on
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: two different things.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I can prove to you that I'm right. Let him go,
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Steven most let him between you and me. All all
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I will. But I'm gonna pla.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a highlight montage put together for you,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: and it's going to make all the sense in the world.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm going to say.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, and the listeners out there are going to l
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: u V I T go ahead.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: The Broncos hired Rob Livingston.
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: Just like sorry, guys, like the day before springball, I'm
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: gonna take your DC. Which, you know, what's really it's
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: really odd in two ways that Livingston is taking a
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: I understand it's the NFL, but a lesser job. Heading
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: to the NFL. He's taking over the job left by
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: Jim Leonard. But it also puts ce you in a
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: place where it's like, I don't know if you can
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: do a big national search for a DC when spring
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: practice is starting.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: That's pretty crazy.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: I think bigger than that, Why are all these coordinators
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: and coaches rotating through CU's see how many coordinators they've
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: gone through already.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: All Right, it's it's vikets.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Do you call it concern or do you call it
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: just the modern college and pro game where guys are
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: jumping all over the place like places.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: That's concerning.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'll give you a case in point Indiana
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: national champion. One of the reasons why they've been so
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: damned good at consistent, he's been able to retain his coaches.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: They've gone with them places.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is not this is not what's happening at
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: CU with all these coaches coming and going. That's not
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: common when you have the same head coach in place.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: Like coaches come and go when staffs change and head
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: coaches coming, but when you have the same time this
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: is not common for or.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: When your team is uber successful. That's what happens. If
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: you're Georgia, you lose assistance all the time because you're
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: winning thirteen games a year.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Correct.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I'm well as far as Livingston is concerned, though, honestly,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, the guy went from college that he went
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: to the pros with the Bengals secondary's coach. Correct, Then
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: he got the DC job at CU. Then he's back
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. Maybe he decided he'd like to be
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: in the National Football League.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: To point, it is a little bit concerning up there
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: in Boulder.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: To fix point, maybe he just really hated the college
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: game and the recruiting part and trying to retain players.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: Maybe that's a part of it, Like the NFL was
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: more stable from that standpoint. You left the job as
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: DC to go take an assistant job somewhere else, that's weird.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: It might be in terms of nationally weird if he
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: wants to be in the National Football League. You know
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: what he's got to do. He's got to coach in
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: the National Football League. That's what he has to do. So,
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: whether it's a defensive passing game coordinator or whatever it is,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: that is an NFL stepping stone you're not gonna get.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, rarely do you get a d C in
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: college taking over a DC job in the pros Rarely.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Rarely.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: So I don't know.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know where his aspirations lie,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: but that could make sense. How many outfensive.
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: Coordinators have they've gone through already?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Up and Boulder count them.
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think they're on their lot. Fifth, they might,
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: Marion might be the fifth. I'm trying to find all
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: the names that have gone through there. But this is
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: this is not what happens at programs that are stable.
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: That's not that I'm sorry, but what is going on?
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: Is it the money? Are they not able to afford
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: to keep these guys? Is it the progress? Is it
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: the results?
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: What? What is it?
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: Is it?
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Coach prime? Is it? Hey? You know? This is what
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: it what it cracked up to be. I don't vic,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I really don't know.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I wish that I was more in tune with that program, right,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: it's socially impossible to get in sane.
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: In twenty twenty two it was Sandford obviously, that was
• 42:52
  Speaker 7: still with Carl Dures So then Dion takes over. It
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: started with Sean Lewis. Midway through the year, it became
• 43:00
  Speaker 7: Pat Shermer. Then it was Pat Shermmer the following year
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: and last year, and then it was the the Brett.
• 43:06
  Speaker 7: It was a Bartolone or bart Barteloni, whoever that was.
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: It took over mid season and now it's brettan Marion.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: So in total of you in fourth, yeah, it's four
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: they're fourth and four years, correct, Yes, four coordinators in
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: four years.
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: Find me a program that is stable, that has four
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: coordinators in four years.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's very difficult. You need to have, you know,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Leggy and I talk about it. Well, we all talk
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: about it with leg I should say, and then I
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: should a football league, continuity is a big thing.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: It's an important thing.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: You have system every year, right, It's it's less than ideal, Vicky.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct.
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: You're teaching a new concept, the new system every year.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: Listen at some point and I want to know the
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: real reasons why this is happening. Is Livingston going to
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: the Brown because listen, the Penner folks have an open
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: pocketbook and they can outpay. Or is it because he
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: just wants to get back in the NFL. Or is
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: it because he didn't see eye to eye?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Or is it? What is it?
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: It could be any one of those things. I'm sure
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: somebody will ask him. He's not gonna I don't think
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: he'll be truthful with it, but I think it could
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: be Vic. Honestly, he's the guy that coached the NFL.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: He was with the Bengals for what like seven years
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: or something like that, right, I mean he was with
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: the Bengals for a long time before getting to see you.
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: Maybe maybe he just entered the college game and was like, dude,
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: this trying to keep every player on my roster like
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: every week I gotta reasset like that way.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: You know what, Maybe that's just not for him. It
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be for me.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: This is a this is oh god, this microphone Hastings,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna kill you. This is an interesting thing, Vig.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: I'm it's been significant with the colorad of Buffaloes because
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: so many guys have come in and out. That's Prime's
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: philosophy essentially right, and perhaps it's not quite is vociferous
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: at other programs. But if I was a DC or
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: an OC and I've got twenty new guys coming in
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: and out of the program through the portal every single year,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: it might give me brain damage too.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: That's every team, That's what That's what I'm saying.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I think some guys accept it and they try to
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: embrace it the best they can. Listen, and maybe for Vicky,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: if it was for me, if it was me, I'm like,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: I'm coaching these guys up the best I can, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: then they decide, and then all of a sudden, somebody
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: offers them.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Kansas State offers them one hundred g's more.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I mean it, it's just it's that would be incredibly frustrating.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: We make so much of player attrition, player transfer, player removal,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: player addition all of that. We make such a big
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: deal about that in the college game.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: What about coaches? What about coach.
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: They're on their fourth OC in four years and on
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: their fourth DC in four years, so they're redoing their
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: offense again and they're redoing their defense again in four years.
• 46:06

• 46:08
