  Speaker 3: What's the local? Define local time? I mean fair enough.

• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we're doing a show in.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Oh Okay, Well then it's yeah. The pregame will start
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: probably seven thirty. The puckleddrop at eight twenty two.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Last night, one twenty eight, one twenty five, Nuggets win
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: an OT thriller over the Rockets VIC. That's two now
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they've won over Houston this year. Denver has won five
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: of their last five and finally, finally they snapped the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: home losing streak, the four game home losing streak. It's over.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We don't have to talk about it anymore.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to get a little lucky.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: And last night I thought the end of regulation what
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: happened there as much as it benefited the Nuggets, obviously
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: I'm not into those forensic.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Fouls, and it was a foul, you know, yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah, his his leg scraped Tim Hardaway's leg, which caused
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: him to fall.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: But you know, is there anything about that that makes
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: you go, wow, this is great basketball.
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: When you have to go back to the videotape three
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: or four times to determine the outcome of a game.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, do you guys like that?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I liked it last night because I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: helping last night to help the Nuggets.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: It helped the Nuggets, but if the rolls were reversed,
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: you know how you'd feel. You'd feel dirty about that.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: There's nothing fun about it. There were too many whistles
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: in that game. There were too many fouls. I don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: know if you guys heard the Houston coach went absolutely
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: ballistic after the game.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I've got it right here. He's here is
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Houston's head coach Emy Udoka postgame on officiating. And by
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the way, it was quite the night for Udoka, very
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: animated all night, very upset, consistently berating the officiating.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess, I mean, just in general, I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: it's poorly officiated game. I've seen a long time to
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: have no business being out there, and the crew chief
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: of the Second Star struck. So you're seeing all kinds
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: of inconsistent calls and I'm sure we should have got
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: a few more texts.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: What do you say your.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Team went a game is being called the way that
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: it was tonight.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Keep being who we are.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: We're not going to adjust to poorly poor, poor officials.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: So we're gonna do what we do and hopefully they
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: can adjust and call it the right way.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But vic I thought Jamal in the post game said
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it right. It's like they missed calls for them, they
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: miss calls for us. It's kind of like another night
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. So why are we bitching about it?
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Quite Frank, I mean, I guess the only reason is
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: because the coach who just said that is going to
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: get fined heavily for what he said.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's gonna be what seventy five grand easily.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I mean he not only went off on the on
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: the referees, he went off on the lead official last night,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: called him a fanboy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: That's what he called all.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The did he really That's what he said about Zack Zarbe.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Essentially said, you know, he was in awe of Joker
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: and wow, he didn't like the way fowls were called
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: against his big man. He didn't like the way Joker
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: was allowed to do certain things. Now, at the end
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: of the night, Joker filed out, So did Valancechouness. I mean,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: almost all big men fouled out last night. Hell Shane
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Gun played with five fouls throughout the entire overtime.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: It was that kind of game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: It was, yeah, physical Vic, the call that sent Joker
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to the bench was as bad a call as they
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: made on on Houston all night long. I mean, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: thought it was a silly call. It well, you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: it barely grazed in hair or something like that. Jamal
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: clearly fouled even before that, so that should have been
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the one that they actually used in terms of calling
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a foul at that point. It was just it was
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a poorly officiated game. That that last play Matt the forensics.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: It's been done against the Nuggets on so many dang
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: occasions that I you know, I mean want to go
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: back and you know, replay all those games and rehash
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: all that crap. But I guess overtime things have a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: tendency to even out. That's what That's the way I
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: look at it. Overtime.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you, Bose. It's just again, it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: another night in the NBA. There's eighty two of these
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: things in the regular season, and sometimes the calls a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: would be good, sometimes it's not. Sometimes they call it tighter.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: But but Vic, I'll say this, it was probably the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: most physical game this year the Nuggets had to play.
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: And that's where I gave the Nuggets a ton of credit.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: They're without you know, last night, Peyton Watson leaves early.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: So now you're without three of your top defensive players,
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: your slashers, your dunkers, guys who give you athleticism to guard.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: You're without three guys, AGCB and Peyton Watson, and you
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: find a way to scrape and win that game. Yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: they deserve all the credit for doing that because it
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: could have been ugly. It could have gone the other way.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: It could have been a fifth straight l at home.
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: But the Nuggets found away. Man, they dug I thought
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: both teams and you saw it at the end, they
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: were playing hard. Jamal Murray especially did not want to
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: lose that game. He went all out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Jamal was fantastic last night, thirty five three and five,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: fourteen of fifteen from the free throw line. Jokic he
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: did foul out in overtime. It was one twenty six
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to one twenty one with about a minute and twenty
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: three left when he had to leave the game. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets had a five point lead and you're just
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: kind of sitting there, going, well, Valence has already filed
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: out early in the fourth, you know, can they just
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: hold this thing at Bay and it was a little
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: bit testy down the stretch, but they were able to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: do it. However, Jokic thirty nine to fifteen ten, his
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: twelfth triple double in twenty five games this year. He's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: also got three soundboard doubles on the year. This guy
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: is something else, man. Just every single night he's averaging
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a career high and assists. It's a career high points
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: per game. It's his best he's ever shot percentage wise
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: from three. He just keeps evolving.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, imagine, but but vic imagine being at
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: the line. Damn morning, imagine being at the free throw line.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I tried to put myself at Jamal Murray's shoes at
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the end of that game. I mean, you've got to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: make that to send it to a well, and then
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: you got the inbound as well. I mean it's hard
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: enough to just for the average human being out there
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to make a free throw. I mean, period, end of story.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: But with everything on the line, then I thought the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: joker got a pretty damn good look to win in regulation.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: He did, and he missed that. But man, I'm thinking
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to myself, the average human being watching standing at the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: free throw on you think it's easy. It is not easy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: It's not an easy shot to make. For Jamal Murray
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: it should be, but not for the average human being. Yeah.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Ironically enough, if the Nuggets make their free throws in
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: the fourth quarter, that game's over because they missed four
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: key ones. You know, Joker missed one, Jamal missed one,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Spencer Jones missed one, Cam missed one, and you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: you add it all up and that's why the game
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: goes to overtime the way it was. Listen, you can
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: nitpick all you want. The Denver Nuggets finally snap a
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: losing streak, and with that win, they are still off
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: to their best start in franchise history. They're nineteen and six.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Boys.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: If Oklahoma City didn't exist, well, they put up preposterous numbers. Right,
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: If Oklahoma City wasn't around, you'd look at this Nugget
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: season and go, my goodness, hunk. And they're doing this
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: without CB and AG for a month.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: They've been out a month. Guys.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It's impressive. That's now the second win over Houston that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: they've had without pretty much either of those guys. Because
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: AG got banged up in the first quarter of the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: last game, and to your point. Like you mentioned earlier,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: they were without their top three perimeter defenders last night
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and Spencer Jones, Man, you know, I'm texting a group
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: chat during the game. I'm just blown away by him, Like,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: get this kid a contract. Enough is enough. I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: know who they're gonna have to move out and what
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have to do, but I guarantee you he
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: will be a part of this roster, you know, in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: short order, don't you think.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: So. We had him on the postgame show last night
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: and he was fantastic. We talked about his shot and
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: coach is always trying to change his shot because it
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: looks a little unique, to say the least, and he
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: made it a funny He goes, yeah, I always make
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: it look like I'm working on it, but I changed it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: It works. I mean the ball goes in, and it
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: goes in quickly. It's it's a quick release. It's just
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: awkward looking. But last night he made mention of that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Listen, being on a two way contract, he doesn't expect
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: to get one. I deep down, he's earned it, obviously,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: but they've got another I think twenty six, twenty seven
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: games to make that decision and they've got to make
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: some room because right now they don't have room to
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: fit him in under the second apron. So moser, make
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: some room.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: It's exactly what I said. What a week ago, two
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: weeks ago? Make room. You're like, well, how they're gonna
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: make the room. I don't care how you make the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: right I don't know how. I don't care. I don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I don't care. I'm not paid to make the room.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: You got two gentlemen who are paid to make the room.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Let both those brains go to work figure out how
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: to make the room. I don't care what you do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I saw some room last night that played nine minutes,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: had two points. That's some room. No offense to that room. Okay,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I mean make it happen. This is you have to.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a choice at this point. You
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: may have twenty would you say, twenty six games to
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: figure it out. Okay, fine, dude, that's gonna be upon
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: us before we know what that's I mean, we're gonna
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: be in the new year and you're gonna be going
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: we gotta make some room. Well, make some room.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: So I'm looking at this just so you know. The
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Nuggets and altitude sports. We employ a special camera in
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: the arena, and this camera is up in the rafters
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: and it catches an angle that otherwise normal people wouldn't have.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: I'm not even sure if I don't know if those
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: who watched at an NBC if you had this angle,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: But it was that angle that showed Aman Thompson at
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: the end of the game brush Tim Hardaway's foot and
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: without that angle they probably overturn that call. Isn't it
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: amazing how technology and television has changed sports entirely?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Sure Is Grandpa sure Is eleven points, three rebounds, two steals,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: three blocks for Spencer Jones, two big threes down the stretch,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: one at the end of the fourth quarter, one in overtime.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And look, I thought he did a fantastic job defensively
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: on Kevin Durant outside of the final two possessions, Like
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: he kind of got in a bad spot and the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: switch there in Sheng gun as he comes down and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: you know, makes that bucket to make it one seventeen,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: one sixteen, and then before that he kind of gets
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: hung up on the Shu Shan gun screen when KD
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: drills that three. But outside of that, I mean, this
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: is a guy who, like we said, you're missing your
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: top three perimeter defenders. How lucky are they that they
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: can bring a two way guy off the bench who
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: can give you forty one minutes and compete in a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: game like this against a legitimate contender. It's a it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a luxury, Vick, it really is.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a luxury.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: And I think going forward, some of these dudes got
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: to start getting healthy because, uh, this schedule doesn't get
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: much easier. Orlando comes to town Thursday night, then you
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: get Houston again.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be a fistfight this Houston series. It feels
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: like a playoff series now.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: And you know what, you'll probably end up playing that
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: team in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: That's the team you're gonna face.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, Vic, what the what officially is Peyton Watson's injury?
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: It is a right trunk contusion, lower ru contusion.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: He got right in the butt.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That's the trunk is your butt well right above it,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you know, in the lower back.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Because this, to me, this this part is trunk. That's
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that's like your trunk right there right but that part
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: is not trunk.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Will you pull your pants up? Most I mean, seriously,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: shows your trunk, pull your pants up, geez. I mean
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: his first segment on a Tuesday, We're crying out loud.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: You know, trou seriousness. I saw trunk contusion. I'm like, okay,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: he's got a Bruce Bruce back Bruce tummy. What what
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: is it?
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: According to coach Adelman, it's basically like a stinger that
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: he suffered last night and he just couldn't get it
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: warmed up to return to the game, but does not
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: expect it to be a long term problem.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: So that's great and good good g great news, very
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: good news. Yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, just Jamal Murray in general, consistently every
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: single night, this is the best regular season basketball we've
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: ever watched him play in his career. In overtime, he
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: starts off right away, four quick points, and it just
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: felt like if he had the ball in his hands,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: he was gonna make the play last night. And that's
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the guy we've come to expect in
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. For him to show up in December, in November,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: that's a big deal for this team right now, especially
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: because they're shorthanded.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean shorthanded. Is it's tough enough to get by.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: I remember when the Nuggets lost Aaron Gordon and they
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: lost Christian Brown.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: I looked at the schedule and I'm talking to Dempsey
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: and Anzik.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: We're like, well, you know what, what do they do?
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: Just stay afloat, right, Just stay above five hundred. That
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: was the expectation at that point. Stay above five hundred.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: You know what they've done since then? You know what
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: they've done. I think it's like ten out of twelve,
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: ten out of thirteen since those injuries.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: That's really good, guys.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: That is staying above water despite key players being out.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: It's almost as if the Nuggets, man, they can drop
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: everybody except those two guys.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: And you know the two.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, Valentchutas are we calling him bigger val.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Bigger valins In Natchushkin gets big valve. So exactly bigger
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: val So he gets bigger valve. Mos, what do you think? Yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: your name on the bigger valve.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I'm cool with that, That's no problem. I mean, one
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: guy's it's his first name, one guy it's his last name, right,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: But I'm cool with that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've already got that would be better. We've
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: already got a big Valve, So it's big and bigger Valve.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: That's how I always, you know, rationalize it. I'm the
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: biggest val he's he's biggest vall.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: So in overtime, you lose your two centers, right, joke
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: out VALA's out. Spencer Jones is essentially playing center. I
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: mean that dude played every position last night. At one
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: point he's Garden Reed Sheppard, then he moves on to
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Kevin Durant, then he's locked up to Alprin Shangoon. I mean,
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: you talk about Swiss army knife.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: He did it all by the way. I couldn't help
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: but think Vic yesterday you were talking about shanegon in
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that first matchup between the two teams, and I know
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: how good this guy is, I really do. He came
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to play last night, did Shingoon? This guy was was everywhere,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: and I know he likes to model his game after Joker.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: He's a dang good basketball player. Man. He's a scary dude,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: he really is.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because he didn't play well in the first matchup
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: and last night he was aggressive. The one thing he
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: doesn't have that Joker does. Because the comparisons are everywhere.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Joker hit five three.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Pointers last night does not shoot the three that doesn't
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: have that same range at all.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: You listened to Spencer Jones talk in the post game
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: press or two, and you're quickly reminded, Oh, yeah, this
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: guy went to Stanford, right right, you know. I mean,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's not only that he's a good basketball player, high
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: IQ on and off the court. And I remember listening
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to Tad when when the Buffs used to play Stanford
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: when Spencer was in school. He just raved about him
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: defensively shooting. It's cool to see Spencer Jones step into
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a roll and I imagine soon a part of the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: main roster. We'll see what happens moving forward. We'll get
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: back to the Nuggets here coming up in just a
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: little bit, and after that huge win over Houston last night,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Nuggets coach David Adelman will join PhD this afternoon Columbus

  Speaker 3: of those moments this morning.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Oh no, did you where.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: My phone? I listened to the green noise on my
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: phone when I sleep, well, my phone.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, backup, backup, Sorry, green noise, green noise.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I listened to green noise when I sleep.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: And how's green? How is that different than white noise.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Explain white noises, white noises, green noises?
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: How about just sleep?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Well I need some background noise too. But I didn't
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: know there was a differentiation. That's fascinating.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, continue, Yeah, what is forefathers do without this noise?
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: What did everybody else do?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: They had the forest and the trees.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't. They weren't in a yeah, there you go.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: They weren't you know, in a corner room in a
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Seattle hotel with fire trucks driving by two a m
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: screaming right. Okay, that that you know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: George crickets and they use magenta noise.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I'm guy myself. Okay, good, that's great.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: But my phone somehow became unplugged and drained, and I
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: woke up to sidewell, to silence and the wind blowing,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: and you know, the people, the addicts down on the street.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I woke up to. Uh. I woke up to a
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: freak out at four o three in the morning, thinking
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: it was like eight o'clock and that you guys couldn't
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: call me because my phone was dead to wake me up,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: and all this kind of thing. I had one of
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: those panic moments until I realized it was four oh
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: three in the morning. And then I'm like, oh my god,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I get it. You know, I can go back to
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: bed and get another hour sleep or whatever it is.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: That's a little fire drill wake up call.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: And then you know, and the way these hotels, you
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: know this, that they have the tiniest little switches to
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: turn the lights on. I couldn't find the switch on
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the light. And so I'm bumping around into the bed
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: and falling down, and it was, you know, it's one
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: of those four am panic moments because you think that crap,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I'm late for skate or I'm missing the entire show,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing. But here I am. I made it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: How about that story?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Thrilled most by the way, well done. I I completely
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: relate those. That is the worst one. We were just
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: talking about that. We were talking about that. Yeah last week.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, time to talk about my nights. Please don't mind.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Please Are you a melatonin user?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: I went to bed.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: I had some chips last night, so my stomach wasn't
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: feeling great because I'm guilty pleasure.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Hmmm.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: A few chips got into bed. TV stayed on for
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: a while.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I don't know that'll happened over your cup twice in
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: the middle of the night. Had a pee, no noise,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: but an alarm clock hit and I wondered if I
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: should hit snooze. But when I hit snooze, it's always
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: a danger zone, right, you don't want hit snooze too
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: many times. It's a tricky So rolled out and we
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: got ready for the show.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: How's that motion?
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you shared vic.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I think I think you suck.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Let's transition here to Broncos. Still plenty to
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: get to from that massive win over the Packers, the
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: first of the twelve win club boys, that's a big deal.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Clinch the playoffs on the same day, Kansas City was eliminated.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: That's another big deal. And the Broncos just keep rolling
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: with eleven in a row. Sean Payton had his weekly
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Zoom yesterday and interesting mood for Sean Payton, I'd say
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: not a ton, but some interesting takeaways. He was talking
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: about the offense and this is something that we spoke
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: about as we were getting ready for Broncos and Packers,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that when you go up against a defense like this,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: you've got to do a good job winning first as
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: second down to stay out of those third and lungs.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: And I think their average yards to go was under
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: five on third down, which is I mean, that's money
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: right there. That means it's a job well done.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: Well a couple of things. I think we've reduced some
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: of the pre snap penalties, although we had another false
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: start yesterday. You know, we had a holding. But I
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: think when you look at our first and second down efficiency,
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: we rarely were in third and long and we often
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: converted a first down after first or second down.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: That had a lot to do with the fact that
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: bo was really efficient and they were taking what the
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: defense was giving them. The last couple of weeks, guys,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: they've been playing under center a lot and getting Bo
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: out in that little boot rollout action.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Notice that early in the game, And I think it
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: just helps the running game get going too, right. It
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: gives them a little more rhythm for the offensive lineman
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: where to go, how to go, the running.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Backs get going.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: So again, it's fun to watch the offense evolve. What
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: you see in September is not what we're seeing in December.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: Different play calls, different expectations. You put a game plan
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: in during the week. This guy can execute.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Remember Bo never went under center in college, just didn't
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: wasn't part of his deal.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: He's doing it pretty well now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I think he is. It's been impressive to watch, especially
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: because to your point, it's it's an evolution of it
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: of the offense. It's a refinement of what they're doing.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It's figuring out what each other is comfortable with. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: we heard Sean and Bo talk about each other and
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the competitive nature. And I was listening to PhD the
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: other day and they've been kind of harping on the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: fact that they think there was a little rich between
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Shawn and bow during the middle of the year, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: then the last four games after Bo was called out
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: by a lot of the national media, he has really
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: elevated his game. What he's done over these last four
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: have been incredibly impressive. They really have.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been super impressive. And I heard the guy's
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: talking about it yesterday. I heard coach Sandford talking about it,
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: but specifically I think it was Tyler that said, look, man,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the way this guy's playing right now is the top
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: five guy in the National Football League. And what the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: throws I saw on Sunday, I can't deny that, and
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't deny that. I mean, he played a great game.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't care if there was a rift
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: between the coach and the quarterback. Here's the bottom line.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: This is Sean Payton's hand picked guy. And Sean Payton
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: hand picks a guy because he thinks he you know,
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: he knows what he sees in him and that this
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: guy can adapt and this guy can grow. And that's
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: what we're seeing in this offense. He talked about being
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: under center. I talked yesterday about the pliability of this
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: offense and the ability to go through the tire playbook
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: and then start to pull more and more out. Well,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: we're seeing that right now. You've got to give these
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: defenses a different look. I mean, you just have to,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: because if you don't, they're going to key on you
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna destroy you. Defensive coordinators and defensive players.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: They're too smart and they're too good to keep running
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: the same crap all the time and you know, thinking
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: it's gonna work like it did, like you said Vic
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: in September. So I commend them, and I commend Bonnicks
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: for growing and being a much better player overall and
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: being able to adapts. It's a really cool thing to see.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Let me give you some context behind that claim that
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: he's playing better the last four games. His completion rate
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: is up nearly fifteen percent from his first ten. Over
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: his last four, he's averaging about seventy more passing yards
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: per game. His interceptions are down. Passer rating is up
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: about twenty one points better than his first ten. So
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I think a little bit of that probably has to
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: do with the fact that they're not running as much
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: as they were with JK. Dobbins. But you still have
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to deal with that problem anyway. It's not like that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: bridge is going to cross itself. You're gonna have to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: find ways to adapt and adjust for the playoffs. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: if Bo can take a little bit more on his
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: shoulders and operate more efficiently and more accurately, Like there's
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of deep balls in that game that he
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: hits to Courtland that he was just missing at the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: beginning of the year.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Vic, he's just in more control. Guys, you know, when
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: your quarterback arrives, there are different revelations that occur during
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: the season and different times when people go, Okay, he's
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: the guy. How many times have we said he's the guy,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: or oh he's not the guy just yet. Oh he's
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: the guy, or no, no, not yet. Bottom line is this,
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: when you need a play to be made, can your
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: quarterback make that play? When it's fourth down and two
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: along to and you go for it and he delivers
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: a sideline pass that's perfect, perfect right where only Cortland
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: Sutton can catch it.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Can he make that play?
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: And he's proven, at least in the last game he's arrived,
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: that's what he did.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: It's fun to watch.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: It really is the evolution of a quarterback and the
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: evolution of a franchise quarterback. When you can start being
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: relied upon and there are the key words, can you
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: rely on him to give you a chance? Well, he
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: gave you all kinds of chances on Sunday.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: The other thing that I think Sean is doing is
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I think he's preaching that home field advantage, you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: to embrace what Denver presents. You're playing at altitude, when
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the crowd is into it, at mile high, it's as
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: good of a home field advantage outside of maybe Seattle
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: as there is in the league. And I think Bo
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: and Sean are really starting to embrace that because Let's
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: be honest. If you're gonna win a super Bowl and
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get the number one seed, you're gonna be
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: at home, and you got to play to the advantages
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: that are naturally presented to you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: One of those last four downs, I just remember thinking, Wow,
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: it's pretty electric in here. It feels like a playoff environment.
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: That's why playing at home in the playoffs is so important.
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: That's why playing at home in itself is important.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: You get the crowd behind you, you get you know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: a good road environment for a team that comes in
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: here and plays. It's not easy and or fun at times,
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: so the crowd is pretty much like an extra player
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: out there for us. And uh, that's a big part
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: of the game. And I know it hasn't been you know,
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: necessarily the last several years, but this, this organization's tradition
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: of being tough to play at, you know, being at
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: Mile High, it's like no other. So, you know, I'm
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: really excited to see more and more of that and
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: the uh, the hostility just get better and better.
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: Listen, Totally agree with them, Totally agree with the entire
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, the crowd played a big factor, but I
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: don't think this is, you know, home field advantage in December.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: This isn't December yet. I know it is in the month,
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: but the weather isn't December yet. It isn't what we've
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: come to expect in Denver. It's not cold yet, it's
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: not winter yet. How do they respond in the winter?
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: I mean, what's the winterest game that the Broncos have played?
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: What's the winterest of wintry?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: That's stupid playoff game against the Ravens.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Dude, this year, I'm talking about this version this season.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: I guess this version of the Broncos.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I heard. I heard they're pumping in that ac at
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the RCA domein Indy. So maybe that, yeah, yeah, maybe
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: You guys know what I mean by that, right, I
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: means by the way play perfect conditions.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: I mean it was perfect when the wind was blowing.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: What game was it when the wind was blowing and
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: you couldn't even tell? Was it that Thursday night or
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: against the Raiders where the wind was blown on the field.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Those are horrible conditions and those are games you're gonna
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: have to win.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: In December and January.
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: You're gonna have a game where it's like, oh, my god,
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: you can barely hold the ball, let alone throw it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: And that is a good point because when those games
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: roll around most you're gonna need your ground game. And
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: right now it sounds like maybe R. J. Harvey might
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: miss some time the Broncos. Yesterday they claimed a running
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: back off of Houston's practice squad or yeah, they or
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Houston waived him and they claimed him off waivers. Cody Schrader.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: He played at MISSOO. He's had one career carry for
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: three yards five nine, like two hundred and ten plus.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll ever play, but it's a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: little bit more depth at running back.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I guess, justin kidder, if Cody Schrader knocked me down
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: on the street, I would not know who he is, right,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: And that's no offense. That's no offense to Cody Schrader.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I just don't follow other teams practice squad. What about
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Ricky Schroeder. I do know Ricky Schroeder. He was in
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Silver Spoons, and then he was in I think Lonesome Dove,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: and then he was a cop and he did a
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: bunch of stuff, I guess. But the fact of the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: matter is is you're losing Brandon Jones for a while now,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: and I don't I don't know exactly how long that's
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: going to be.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: So the rest of the regular season, for sure, because
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: I ah for sure the regular season, but.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about postseason here, Vic, and that's where my
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: main concern is. You know, where where's he going to land?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Won the playoffs roll around? And then you know, what
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: is Harvey's situation and how bad is it? Because if
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: we're talking about a rib or what are we talking about?
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Rib type of stuff, chess stuff.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Specific, anything in that area hurts.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anything in the general when you breathe and you're
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: like you ever had a rib injury? Dude? It is miserable.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And for a running back who gets popped in the
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: ribs on every dang play, I can't even imagine how
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: miserable it would be. But yeah, that's this is starting
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: to be a little bit of a concern. It really is.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: And because I guess, you know, Key is going to play,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: and I thought he played pretty well on Sunday. He
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: made some no pun intended, some Key plays, some big tackles.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: But hey man, you're starting to you're starting to field
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: You mean, PJ Lock is a PJ.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I thought it was maybe Devon Key's gonna get
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: in there. Yeah, we'll need to be wrong about that.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see what happens. I'm not sure, but PJ
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: is gonna start I mean as of right now, So okay, absolutely.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well then then then put PJ in there because
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: I thought I thought that he's gonna have to get
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: more playing time.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Well, all it does is, you know, at some point
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: it affects your special teams unit because you're taking guys
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: that devote themselves to those units and now giving more
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: time on the field that the defense or the offense.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: And it's a trickle down effect.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I thought.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: I thought the Broncos in that game, the injuries to
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: straanad special teamer. Now that pg Lock's got to move
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: up special teamer, this stuff's gonna start catching up, right,
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: It's gonna start catching up because special teams has been
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: pretty good the last few weeks. Pretty good, would you
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: guys agree? Yeahah, yeah, mistakes like we saw early in
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: the season.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the part return for touchdown against the Raiders. I mean,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: you'll take it all day, every day. And cross Shaw,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna be a pro bowler. I mean,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that's a hell of a draft pick right now. This
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: is Sean Payton, by the way, little spicy Sean. But
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: he was talking about how that the goals are unchanged
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: and that their goal is too well, let me not
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: screw it up here, Sean.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: We're not preparing for the playoffs right now. And it
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: was written yesterday, and I said it yesterday. I thought
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: I was pretty clear. We have three goals when the division.
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: All right, the first goal is not make the playoffs.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: And I'm talking to Zach. All right, what I said yesterday,
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: first goal in the division, goal too, best seed goal three,
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: super Bowl. None of those goals have been accomplished. Were
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: focused on Jacksonville.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got it, Zach. Goal one division goal to seed
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: goal three super Bowl? Can I make it any more clear?
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: Well, you can't get any of those goals with them
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: making the playoffs first.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: So that's got to be a goal.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I think your only little internet shows are driving me crazy.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I think his point was is that their standard is
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: higher than that, and they're shooting higher than that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: Right, Sure, okay, that's fair, but it's an unspoken goal.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: You got to get to the playoffs first. I mean
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: it's wonderful where the Broncos stand right now. But and
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: I think it's even better that the work isn't done.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: I think it's great that that last game against the
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Chargers can mean something and mean a lot for both teams.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Nothing wrong with that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it doesn't. I mean, hopefully the Broncos take care
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: of business the next two weeks and it doesn't. That's
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: what I'm hoping for. But yeah, I mean, either way,
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying, Vick, like there's a there's
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: a possibility for sure, there's no doubt about it. Tons
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: more to get to throughout the course of the morning.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Make sure you're locked in again. That keyword for seven

  Speaker 2: Eight twenty. We'll have another chance for you to win
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: tickets to Abs and Jets coming up on Friday night.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: So I imagine you guys got a chance to watch that
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Monday night football game a little bit then Homosh.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Did, Yeah, I did a little bit. I thought Pittsburgh
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: was was okay, you know, I thought they're pretty pretty decent.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know that they see when I watched the
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers play the game of football, I don't think
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: to myself, oh no, you know, I don't. I don't
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: freak out. I don't. They don't really scare me for
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: some reason. A Ron was I know, he was really
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: efficient last night, but he doesn't scare me at this point.
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: Are you guys watching these games now and considering possible postseason.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Totally absolutely thousand, a thousand percent? I am, yes, a thousand.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind playing Pittsburgh. Nothing about Pittsburgh scares.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Me, agreed, other than you know, it could be one
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: of these DK Metcalf kids off type of games. I
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: don't know. The running game doesn't really scare me that much.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Aarn is aged, but he he did play pretty well
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: last night. I'm gonna give him some credit. But yeah,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: I'm looking I'm looking at possible opponents vic and trying
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: to size them up the best I can and the
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: ones that really scare me. Honestly, that Buffalo in New
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: England game. We didn't Yeah, we didn't talk a whole
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: lot about it yesterday, but but I think both those
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: teams are incredibly capable. Both.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: Buffalo still scares.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: You because of that which they have a quarterback and
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: he's capable of coming back on you and he's done it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: So yeah, that's a team that scares you, rightfully, so totally.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: The Dolphins have now lost fourteen straight and under forty
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: degree weather. It's the longest streak for any team's two
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: thousand McDaniel now one in fourteen straight up in road
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: neutral games against teams above five hundred. That's brutal. One
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: in fourteen straight up in road or neutral games against
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: teams above five hundred.
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: And playing in that division, and when they have to
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: go play some of those northern teams.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: You ain't gonna fix that easily. That's a tough one, man.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: That's to win games.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: You have to win the game, not lose the game.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: That is true, Coach, That is true, coach. I wonder
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: if he keeps that job. I'm not exactly sure yet.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happens there. I mean, it would
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: be tough. It feels like.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about that, Matt. You asked me that
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: question last week, and I was thinking about about Mike.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And look, the players haven't quit on him, which is good.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, you know, if you're a
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: GM or an owner, it's not just that the players
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: play hard for you, but are you doing the right
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: things with the players that you got sure? And do
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: they do? They have enough players? Tua is not Tua anymore.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: He's not the same Tua, And I don't know how
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: you would be the same too, when you've gone through
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: that many you know, that many head situations. And I
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: thought he played pretty well last night, I really do.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: But he's not as consistent as he should be or
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: needs to be for Miami to win games. He's just not.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, how about this Christmas Day slate in
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: the NFL that we have coming up. At the beginning
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of the year, it looked interesting, it did, but now
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: it looks like three straight stinkers. And you'll remember Netflix
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: paid millions and millions of dollars and then Prime paid
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: a gajillion dollars themselves to get Broncos and Chiefs on
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Christmas Night, and all three of those games, for the
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: most part, outside of Denver hopefully wrapping up the number
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: one seed in the AFC in the process and beating
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Kansas City, they're all meaningless.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: Those are the chances you take for those late December games.
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: They could be meaningless. Teams may wrap things up, people
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: will still watch. Let's not fool ourselves here, right. I mean,
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: if you're a Broncos fan, it doesn't matter. You're watching
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: the Broncos and Chiefs. Even if it means nothing to
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: Kansas City, it's still a meaningful game. So I don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: buy too much into that. They're still going to carry
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: a large audience. The NFL is still going to dominate
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: the ratings no matter what they say.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you're right, but it's still just I mean,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: it's incredibly underwhelming. It's definitely not gonna be viewership numbers
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: like it would have been otherwise, it will process it.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we get this every time.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Oh well, you know the the NFL is better off
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: when the Chiefs are in the picture. Well, that wasn't
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: always the case. The Chiefs had to earn their legacy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: They had to earn it, you know when they first
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: started playing. I mean nobody said that now they do.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: You got to build. You got to build your team
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: to get to that level, right, you got to build,
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: you gotta play, you gotta win.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: And now the Chiefs reign It feels like it's over
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: to me. I don't know if it does to you guys.
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: It feels like it's over for them vic.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know what Andy Reid's going to do. They've
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: got to remake part of that roster, no doubt about it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: And who knows what Travis Kelsey's going to do. But
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: that being said, man Patrick Mahomes is still a relatively
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: young man.
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but they'll be gonna be a dominant good I
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: don't think that. I think the years of dominance are over.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: But as long as he is healthy, and obviously he's
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: not right now, and I don't know what his time
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: frame is, gonna be nine months, ten months, a year,
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: who knows, But I'm sure he's going to come back
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: with a renewed sense of purpose. When you've played that
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: much important football, regardless of the injury, you know you're
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: gonna come back and you're gonna you're gonna want it again.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: How I know how long it's gonna take. But the
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: rest of the division able to do it. Yeah, But
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: the difference is that the Broncos are a much better
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: team than they were during the early part of his reign.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: The Chargers are here the division is caught up the
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Chiefs as far as we know that, they're never going.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: To be the same again. They're just not well.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I will say I was thinking about this yesterday. It
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: was nine years between Super Bowls for Tom Brady, from
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: like I think twenty eight to thirty six or something
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: But his division never got better.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: Guys, that the difference is look at the division in
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: which the Patriots played. They never had a team come
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: up the ranks like the Broncos are currently doing.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Fair enough that point absolutely jump in there too.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, there's also met those guys
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles. I mean, do we want to just
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: I guess what we think The Chargers are always going
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: to Charger but you know, hardballs doing a pretty good job.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: And they've got a bit of a witchet quarterback too.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna go anywhere. If they can
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: just not lose all their tackles and dbs and safeties
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: and a wide out and this kind of thing from
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: year to year, Chargers is going to be right there.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: It's a pretty damn, pretty damn good team.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: By the way, guys, we had any azo Rique Bronco's
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: defensive lineman on our pregame show last night, and uh
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: I put up a photo of Sean Payton and and
• 41:44
  Speaker 6: we had him just describe what John Payton has done
• 41:47
  Speaker 6: for this organization. And he could not stop raving about
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: how he is in the locker room, not publicly but privately.
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: And we always cash Sean Payton as sort of this
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: curmudgeon like abrasive coach, but to the players, he truly
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: is a player's coach. They really respond to him behind
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: closed doors. I don't know if they fear him as
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: much as I don't know what it is, but they
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: really respond to him. And Jazer Rique could not stop
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: gushing about that. It's a big reason why the Broncos
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: are what they are. I mean, you always say a
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: coach needs to be feared, well, in this day and age,
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: that's not always the case. You have to respect the
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: coach for how they treat you and the other players.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: And I think he treats the players well.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: I think he does too. I think most guys like him.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could ask Russell Wilson. I'm not sure
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: he'd have that same opinion, but the point is valid
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: that I think there's a very real level of buy
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: in here that the culture has been established now and
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: that's what you're seeing. And a guy like Juaza Rique,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was given a second chance at life
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: bye Sean Broncos right.
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: By Sean Payton.
• 42:51
  Speaker 6: He was banned an entire season for a mistake he
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: made when it came to gambling and Sean Payte. If
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Sean Payton doesn't sign off on that, he doesn't play
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: for the Broncos again. And there he was in that game,
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: help him make the most decisive play of the game
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: on the Patrick certain pick. It was jazer Rique who
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: got in Jordan Love's face to force him to throw
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: the ball early.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: On the text line, Mose was telling us that he
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: falls asleep to green noise, not white noise, and green noise,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: and the texter says, Vic's white noise is falling asleep
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: to Jay Leno at full full volume, which I don't
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: even know how you do it anymore, or Matt Lock
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: or Matt Lock, yeah, matt Lock or although Matt I
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: will say.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: This about Jay. You know he he's a big car guy, right, Yeah,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: you ever watched the videos about his car collection and
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: he starts up like a steam car and that kind
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: of thing, the jet powered motorcycle. I think it's pretty interesting, man.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: I think he's a pretty interesting dude.
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: Vic just is trying to fall asleep and he's got
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: in the background.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: You guys, you guys seen this.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: You see this one live.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: You guys seen the story.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: That's a guy I do.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: I do like to have the television on when I
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: fall asleep. I you guys, you guys have to have
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: it perfectly dark and silent. I I could fall asleep
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: with a marching band in my room.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I'm a guy who needs a rerun of a sitcom
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I've watched a million times, very low volume.
• 44:12
  Speaker 6: You could have Steve Nelson's band right next to my
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: bed and.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: I'd fall asleep pretty easily.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say, you can book us, Vic for
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: your your sleep routine if you need us.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: I'm serious. We had to try that one night. Just
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: have a play a set and see if I can
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: go to sleep. By the way, I was thinking, yet,
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: the best way to sleep is have moja. Just give
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: you a story about something. I could absolutely do that.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: There was a time boys when I when I didn't
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: have anything to go to sleep, and I just went
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: to sleep. But then I started. For years I would
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: always listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: and fall asleep to that. Yeah, that would that would
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: put me. Uh, that would put me out, no doubt
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: about it. Hey, as we roll on here, but I
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: think we're parked. Man, there's a guy who's becoming a
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: new public enemy number one in the world. Oh, if
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, all right, Well let's se Do I need
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: to jut that down the last night?
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, did it again? Did it again last night? And
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: this guy is starting to draw some serious ire.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate the teas. We'll wait for that. On
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: the other side, it's motion Lombardian Kane with Matt Smith.
