- 0:20Speaker 2: Here.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Cups tack hus here, dropping it back off the quick
- 0:24Speaker 3: behind the backpack?
- 0:25Speaker 4: Is your cup?
- 0:26Speaker 2: Back to Cap huns Helton scar whow.
- 0:32Speaker 5: The US dominates yesterday? It took a minute. Well, when
- 0:35Speaker 5: you score twelve goals and they call eight of them back,
- 0:37Speaker 5: I mean, I guess that's what happens. But brock Nelson unbelievable.
- 0:40Speaker 5: Two goals for the US, by the way, that's second
- 0:42Speaker 5: one that he scored. What a like if you wanted
- 0:45Speaker 5: to make just a clip from somebody's never seen hockey
- 0:49Speaker 5: before and why they should watch it and why it's
- 0:51Speaker 5: beautiful that sequence of just tape the tape passes, have
- 0:56Speaker 5: the defense confused, kick it back to brock Nelson for
- 0:58Speaker 5: the wide open shot.
- 1:02Speaker 6: I'm gonna lean on on the hockey purists here. So
- 1:04Speaker 6: everybody made a big deal out of the smaller ice surface, right,
- 1:09Speaker 6: Why Why does the game look faster to me? Maybe
- 1:12Speaker 6: maybe we need a smaller ice surface?
- 1:14Speaker 4: What what's going on?
- 1:16Speaker 5: I don't know?
- 1:16Speaker 4: Is it me?
- 1:17Speaker 6: Or is it just more intensified because it's the Olympics.
- 1:20Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit of both. Maybe it's
- 1:23Speaker 5: makes it look a little bit quicker, but it's also
- 1:25Speaker 5: the intensity of the Olympics.
- 1:26Speaker 6: By the way, again, educate me because I don't know.
- 1:30Speaker 6: Maybe you need to bring Raj in. Everyone made a
- 1:34Speaker 6: big deal of this about how it's just.
- 1:37Speaker 4: So dumb. It's not a it's not a big surface.
- 1:41Speaker 4: It's it's not gonna work. It's great, it's awesome. So
- 1:47Speaker 4: I don't see any issue.
- 1:49Speaker 5: Real quick here. This morning, Finland beat Sweden four to one,
- 1:52Speaker 5: so Gabe took the l in that one. But Lucky
- 1:56Speaker 5: and Keith Ranta gotta win in that game. Slovakia beat
- 1:59Speaker 5: Italy three to two. Uh, Canada and Switzerland are gonna
- 2:03Speaker 5: play at one ten. But right now Chechia is playing France.
- 2:06Speaker 5: And guess who scored the first goal of that game
- 2:08Speaker 5: on the power play Marty Nachos Nice, so he gets
- 2:13Speaker 5: power play goal in the Olympic.
- 2:14Speaker 7: Wait, when you said Gabe took an out, which which
- 2:17Speaker 7: which gab are you talking about? I didn't recognize by
- 2:19Speaker 7: the way you said it.
- 2:20Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Gabriel LANDI school.
- 2:22Speaker 4: Gabriel Land school.
- 2:25Speaker 6: That one Billy says, the way the ice and the lines,
- 2:30Speaker 6: there's no neutral zone trap garbage again it I don't
- 2:36Speaker 6: I can't tell you what the biggest difference is there.
- 2:39Speaker 6: But maybe that's why it looks so much more wide open,
- 2:43Speaker 6: because watching a neutral zone trap in hockey is the
- 2:48Speaker 6: worst brand of hockey you can watch. It's what a
- 2:52Speaker 6: lot of those teams did to the Aves when the
- 2:54Speaker 6: Avs had those fast flying remember Seattle did the as
- 2:58Speaker 6: remember that?
- 3:00Speaker 4: Oh my god again with this.
- 3:03Speaker 5: Can't let those teams get a lead or they just
- 3:06Speaker 5: do that for sixty straight minutes. Now, Rock Nelson, really
- 3:12Speaker 5: good game yesterday. I have already been on record. I
- 3:15Speaker 5: apologize everybody out there who hates these these two men.
- 3:20Speaker 5: I like the Kachucks. I liked them last year in
- 3:22Speaker 5: the Four Nations. I like them in this Olympics. I
- 3:25Speaker 5: think they bring a what do you call it? Sandpaper?
- 3:31Speaker 5: They bring sandpaper to the game, which I like. And
- 3:34Speaker 5: now I can't get off the train. It's just like,
- 3:35Speaker 5: you know what, I like the Kachucks. Now, sorry, I've changed.
- 3:39Speaker 5: And it's a rare occasion to change from somebody you
- 3:42Speaker 5: hated into somebody you like. That doesn't happen in sports
- 3:44Speaker 5: very often.
- 3:47Speaker 6: I have no issues with the Kachuck brothers because they
- 3:49Speaker 6: play to win, and if it makes you angry, that's
- 3:52Speaker 6: on you. They don't care. I would want one of
- 3:55Speaker 6: those guys on my team any day.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:57Speaker 6: And I guarantee the guys in that lock crew would
- 3:59Speaker 6: want one of those guys on there team.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Yep. Having both of them, it's like that compounds the
- 4:05Speaker 4: whole thing. It's great.
- 4:06Speaker 5: We're gonna talk to caoset nine to twenty. I do
- 4:08Speaker 5: want to give you Vic two things real quick. Something
- 4:11Speaker 5: I just saw from Adam Schefter. You know those report
- 4:15Speaker 5: cards that NFL teams do or the players give you
- 4:18Speaker 5: feedback on the great they grade the locker room.
- 4:20Speaker 4: The coach and the ownership owners hate it.
- 4:23Speaker 5: Well, the owners have now gotten together brought in an arbitrator.
- 4:27Speaker 5: They're no longer allowed to do that. No more report cards.
- 4:32Speaker 4: So we've got their feelings right there.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Well, the Broncos always finished great in these like it
- 4:37Speaker 5: wasn't their fault. But if you remember, like the Chiefs,
- 4:39Speaker 5: for all the winning they've done, they had like f's
- 4:41Speaker 5: across the board.
- 4:43Speaker 4: They got absolutely the Chiefs are just bludgeoned.
- 4:45Speaker 5: It might have something to do with by the way,
- 4:47Speaker 5: they have their training camp every year at Missouri Western University.
- 4:50Speaker 5: That was in my baseball conference. Not exactly. The greatest
- 4:54Speaker 5: place you want to go is Saint Joe, Missouri.
- 4:58Speaker 4: So that might be.
- 4:59Speaker 6: That was like, it's like opening your HR books to
- 5:01Speaker 6: the world, Like every company's got an HR.
- 5:05Speaker 4: It's big.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Here's what our HR sounds and looks like. That's what
- 5:08Speaker 6: they were doing.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Is it the worst thing in the world that owners
- 5:12Speaker 5: once a year get checked on some of the stuff
- 5:14Speaker 5: that they're doing. Is that the most terrible thing ever?
- 5:18Speaker 4: So? Who organized that? Was that a players union thing?
- 5:21Speaker 5: So the NFL? Hay on Mary? This the NFL has
- 5:25Speaker 5: won a grievance over the NFLPA, who stopped making annual
- 5:28Speaker 5: report cards.
- 5:29Speaker 6: Well, let me tell you something. It's always a quid
- 5:32Speaker 6: pro quo. They may have given that in the NFLPA
- 5:36Speaker 6: is going to get something in return, and I'm waiting
- 5:38Speaker 6: to hear what that something might be.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be.
- 5:43Speaker 5: Here's the other thing. I don't know if you're into
- 5:46Speaker 5: this or not. If not, then we can move on.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Did you happen to see Christian four? Yea yesterday and
- 5:51Speaker 5: what he was saying about Prime.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I listened to that entire exchange.
- 5:55Speaker 6: And I saw Christian at the Super Bowl media rope
- 5:58Speaker 6: and had a brief exchange.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Is he Boston Radio?
- 6:01Speaker 4: Right? Yeah? Yeah, I think he's still in Boston? I
- 6:03Speaker 4: think so.
- 6:04Speaker 6: He was for years. Of course, he played for the Buffs,
- 6:08Speaker 6: his kid played for the Buffs. He had some things
- 6:13Speaker 6: to say about the current state of the Buffs program.
- 6:16Speaker 4: And you know how this goes. You know how this goes.
- 6:19Speaker 6: You're gonna hear these comments from Christian Fourier, and you're
- 6:22Speaker 6: gonna get half the people on the text line, half
- 6:25Speaker 6: the people listening and saying yeah, he's right, and the
- 6:27Speaker 6: other half are gonna kill And the truth always lies
- 6:30Speaker 6: somewhere in between.
- 6:32Speaker 4: That's just the way it is.
- 6:33Speaker 6: So I don't want to prompt your thinking, but I
- 6:37Speaker 6: want you to listen this. Try to listen with an
- 6:39Speaker 6: open mind, and tell me what side of the fen
- 6:41Speaker 6: drawn when you listen. Christian Fourier just smashed the CU
- 6:44Speaker 6: football program.
- 6:45Speaker 8: See that helmet right there. Some of my best memories
- 6:47Speaker 8: of my life. I'm just not a fan of the coach.
- 6:50Speaker 8: I'm not I'll never be a fan of the coach.
- 6:52Speaker 8: I love the school. And this isn't me picking on
- 6:55Speaker 8: Deon Sanders because I pick on Joe Gibbs. The worst
- 6:58Speaker 8: coach I've ever had was Joe Gibbs, So me picking
- 7:00Speaker 8: on Deon Sanders. There's nothing. I just don't like the
- 7:03Speaker 8: way he coaches football. I don't think he's very bright.
- 7:06Speaker 8: I don't think he can manage a game. I think
- 7:08Speaker 8: there's a lot of flash, but I think there's no substance.
- 7:11Speaker 8: He's got a lot of people like brainwashed, and we'll see,
- 7:16Speaker 8: we'll see what he can do. But I'm just I'm
- 7:18Speaker 8: not a fan of him.
- 7:20Speaker 5: So that's just a portion of it. I have a
- 7:21Speaker 5: couple other I can play. Look, I am not as
- 7:25Speaker 5: vociferous as him on this, but kind of what he
- 7:29Speaker 5: said at the end, there is when he's got people brainwashed.
- 7:32Speaker 5: I do feel like there's some of that going on,
- 7:35Speaker 5: Like there's there's people who are just so obsessed with
- 7:37Speaker 5: the idea of having dion that they aren't looking at
- 7:40Speaker 5: results or trends of where the team is going. And
- 7:45Speaker 5: that's concerning because I watched Nebraska make Scott Frost like
- 7:50Speaker 5: the sacred cow, where he was above criticism despite the
- 7:53Speaker 5: fact his first year of VIC they started hing six.
- 7:57Speaker 5: That doesn't happen in Nebraska, and they certainly don't act,
- 8:00Speaker 5: but they did it for him. And I go, guys,
- 8:02Speaker 5: ignore the name and look at what's going on here. Yeah,
- 8:05Speaker 5: to me, that's that's a concerning thing.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Again, I fall somewhere in the in between. I understand
- 8:12Speaker 6: the criticism levied toward Prime. You know, I levied some
- 8:15Speaker 6: myself when he first got here, and some of the
- 8:17Speaker 6: traditions that he no longer partakes in, some of the
- 8:20Speaker 6: changes that were made.
- 8:22Speaker 4: I get it.
- 8:23Speaker 6: At the same time, I'm willing to give the man
- 8:26Speaker 6: some grace and now was to be what it's a
- 8:29Speaker 6: year four that he's entering year four, year four, I'm
- 8:34Speaker 6: willing to give the man some grace because it's not
- 8:37Speaker 6: often that you bring with you a Heisman Trophy winner
- 8:41Speaker 6: and the best offensive quarterback the program's ever had.
- 8:44Speaker 4: You got to replace those. He had a year of.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Miserable health that I don't think people understand how bad
- 8:50Speaker 6: it really was. I'm going to give him some time
- 8:54Speaker 6: and talk to me in about a year and let
- 8:56Speaker 6: me see where this program is now.
- 8:58Speaker 4: Is that fair? Some people? One may say he's had
- 9:00Speaker 4: enough time. That's just my opinion.
- 9:04Speaker 5: Well, he goes on.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Truly, Christian Fourier is done.
- 9:06Speaker 9: He goes on to say, this is that the end
- 9:08Speaker 9: goal just to be relevant, to have a new scoreboard,
- 9:12Speaker 9: have people talking about you, or do you want to
- 9:14Speaker 9: win games? Win games the way you win games, the
- 9:18Speaker 9: way you recruit. Know everybody's name, give everybody the same attention.
- 9:23Speaker 9: Sing the fight song, learn the fight song.
- 9:26Speaker 8: I would say, then you know you got business, you know,
- 9:28Speaker 8: but right now, all your victories are hollow in my book,
- 9:32Speaker 8: if all you care about is relevancy, they're hollowed. I
- 9:35Speaker 8: mean nothing when when the Big twelve go ahead? Win
- 9:38Speaker 8: that and then and then okay, your methodist work. But
- 9:42Speaker 8: right now, I don't know. You want me to tell
- 9:43Speaker 8: you like, I'm not a fan and I can really
- 9:45Speaker 8: care less if anybody like likes it or not. My
- 9:47Speaker 8: give level is zero right now with people caring about
- 9:51Speaker 8: my opinion of Dion Sanders.
- 9:53Speaker 4: Okay, let's stop. The proper term is couldn't care less.
- 9:56Speaker 5: But that felt deeply personal to him.
- 9:59Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, here he went off.
- 10:02Speaker 6: But he's not the only one. He's not the only
- 10:05Speaker 6: alum who played there. Listen you for those of you
- 10:08Speaker 6: who slept that off and say I don't care what
- 10:10Speaker 6: Christian fourty eight things, Well, you should care because he
- 10:12Speaker 6: played for the program. Should and there are a lot
- 10:14Speaker 6: of guys who played for the program that have the
- 10:16Speaker 6: exact same feeling.
- 10:17Speaker 4: So you should care.
- 10:18Speaker 6: And it doesn't make your opinion better than theirs, theirs
- 10:21Speaker 6: better than yours, It doesn't, but they played there. It
- 10:23Speaker 6: means something something to them. However, I will disagree with
- 10:27Speaker 6: him on this. He says, who cares? If you're just relevant?
- 10:33Speaker 6: Who cares when the Big twelve? Well, there's a couple
- 10:35Speaker 6: of steps you have to take along the way. You
- 10:37Speaker 6: don't just go from irrelevant to winning the Big twelve.
- 10:40Speaker 6: You have to understand, Christian, this is a program that
- 10:44Speaker 6: several years ago, we had a member of the regents.
- 10:48Speaker 6: We had a regent on our show that wanted to
- 10:51Speaker 6: ban football. This sport. This program was as irrelevant as
- 10:58Speaker 6: they come just a few years ago. So relevance is
- 11:01Speaker 6: not a bad move after your irrelevant.
- 11:04Speaker 4: I get it.
- 11:05Speaker 6: There's plenty of room for criticism. But there's a road
- 11:09Speaker 6: you have to take. There's a mountain you have to climb.
- 11:13Speaker 6: You may fall off that mountain, but baby steps here, baby.
- 11:17Speaker 5: I get all that, and a texture says, people seem
- 11:21Speaker 5: to forget where the Colorado football program was headed prior
- 11:25Speaker 5: to Dion. I think we're on the verge of losing
- 11:29Speaker 5: the program altogether. So yeah, we're happy to have them there.
- 11:32Speaker 5: I'll give that credit.
- 11:33Speaker 4: It did.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Make the see you football program survive that. Yeah, now,
- 11:38Speaker 5: now you got me going to the other But hang
- 11:40Speaker 5: on hand, Vic, But when people talk about that in
- 11:44Speaker 5: terms of just wins and losses, where the program was
- 11:48Speaker 5: they went one in eight and big twelve play last year.
- 11:51Speaker 5: That ain't that much different from.
- 11:52Speaker 6: Time to see. The relevancy thing is done. All right,
- 11:55Speaker 6: you're selling out games, you're selling merchandise, you gotta scoreboard.
- 11:57Speaker 4: That's over. Now it's time to win. I get it. Yeah, win.
- 12:00Speaker 4: No more of that. That's done. Nobody cares.
- 12:03Speaker 6: Nobody cares about if game day shows up, if ESPN,
- 12:06Speaker 6: if First Take talks about you, if Michael Irvin comes
- 12:09Speaker 6: to town and he does those weird things, nobody cares.
- 12:12Speaker 6: Nobody cares about that Anymore's time to win, correct, were
- 12:15Speaker 6: in that mode? Yes, however, let me play the other side,
- 12:17Speaker 6: because again I can play both sides here. Oh well,
- 12:21Speaker 6: you know, you don't know where see who football was?
- 12:23Speaker 6: Yeah I do, Yeah, I do. Just because you don't
- 12:25Speaker 6: know doesn't mean history hasn't repeated itself. I remember when
- 12:29Speaker 6: Bill McCartney came in here and see you football was
- 12:32Speaker 6: largely irrelevant, and in year three he almost got let go,
- 12:36Speaker 6: and he survived and he built a powerhouse national champion,
- 12:40Speaker 6: the only national championship in the school's history. I remember
- 12:42Speaker 6: that he did it. Dion's not the only coach to
- 12:46Speaker 6: build relevancy here.
- 12:47Speaker 4: He's not the only one. It's happened before. Yeah.
- 12:52Speaker 5: Well, and to your credit, just looking up Bill McCartney's
- 12:54Speaker 5: sort of half his arc two eight and one in
- 12:59Speaker 5: year one, four seven, in year two one and ten, in.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Year three, yeah, a year three.
- 13:03Speaker 5: I remember then it was seven and five, six and six,
- 13:06Speaker 5: seven and four, eight and four and then eleven wins
- 13:09Speaker 5: and eleven wins and it goes on from there. It
- 13:12Speaker 5: took a minute for that stuff to get going. Now,
- 13:13Speaker 5: different era, bigger patient.
- 13:15Speaker 6: That's what bothers me when when when people say, oh, yeah,
- 13:17Speaker 6: you don't understand now, see you football was completely well yeah,
- 13:21Speaker 6: I mean maybe in the two thousands, but see you
- 13:23Speaker 6: football was a powerhouse man.
- 13:26Speaker 4: There was a decade long of this team was in
- 13:29Speaker 4: the mix for a decade and then it went away.
- 13:34Speaker 5: Yeah, all I'm saying is you need to get some
- 13:38Speaker 5: results this year.
- 13:39Speaker 4: You have to.
- 13:40Speaker 5: And I don't even know, like I think, I don't
- 13:44Speaker 5: even know what it would take to even have Don
- 13:45Speaker 5: go on a hot seat because of how much money
- 13:48Speaker 5: he's owed and the the dollars that he does bring.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Yeah, there, you gotta make it work.
- 13:55Speaker 6: And you got to hope that the new assistance he
- 13:58Speaker 6: brought in Mary in the up, it's a coordinator. This
- 14:01Speaker 6: new system works. And you know, if you're a CU fan,
- 14:03Speaker 6: that's what you're pulling for right now. You got to
- 14:05Speaker 6: coach them up.

- 14:56Speaker 5: do you usually get? H?
- 14:59Speaker 2: Well, it depends, as Vick will attest to. By the way, Vic,
- 15:02Speaker 2: a quick shout out to my boy Troy Hawk and Omaha,
- 15:05Speaker 2: you met him last year. He's the guy that had
- 15:07Speaker 2: the man crush on you remember him?

- 15:25Speaker 7: that causes if I know we're Vicker Mozar at any
- 15:28Speaker 7: given time.
- 15:30Speaker 2: No, it's like I have I have weird sleeping patterns.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Sometimes I can't sleep. I call it part time insomnia, gotcha.
- 15:37Speaker 2: So a lot, a lot of times after big wins,
- 15:39Speaker 2: I may not go to bed till seven or seven
- 15:42Speaker 2: thirty in the morning. But then other nights I go
- 15:45Speaker 2: to bed right when I get back from the game.
- 15:46Speaker 2: So it's just it's it's it's a potpourri.
- 15:49Speaker 5: If you will, Kane, I got you, I got you.
- 15:51Speaker 5: What you said after big wins? What do you consider
- 15:54Speaker 5: the biggest win of the Nugget season so far?
- 15:59Speaker 2: I think one? Where was that Philadelphia when Pickett called
- 16:04Speaker 2: us the Denver gold.
- 16:06Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think so, yeah.
- 16:08Speaker 2: So I think it was either that one or Boston.
- 16:10Speaker 2: You know, it's one of those when you know you're
- 16:14Speaker 2: missing four starters and you're playing you know, ninety percent
- 16:17Speaker 2: of your lead team is like G League and bench players,
- 16:20Speaker 2: and you get any kind of road wind would be awesome.
- 16:23Speaker 2: But to get one there I thought was pretty special.
- 16:26Speaker 5: Do you think you know part of this? It's amazing
- 16:30Speaker 5: to me. When you're in the middle of it and
- 16:32Speaker 5: you see the Nuggets home record, maybe that bothers you,
- 16:35Speaker 5: or you see that they are struggling to close out
- 16:38Speaker 5: games at time, that bothers you. But holistically with what
- 16:41Speaker 5: they're missing, Couys, they're fifteen games above five hundred and
- 16:44Speaker 5: third place in the West. It's pretty remarkable where they're
- 16:47Speaker 5: at considering what they dealt with.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Yeah, Cater, I think what what you had to do
- 16:51Speaker 2: as a Nugget fan is you had to shift your
- 16:54Speaker 2: ideals around, right, Like, I mean, let's let's look at
- 16:57Speaker 2: this way what our original starting five is. I don't
- 17:00Speaker 2: need to name the names. We all know what our
- 17:01Speaker 2: original starting five are. You know, these guys are eight
- 17:05Speaker 2: and two this year, so I mean, yeah, awesome. Yeah.
- 17:10Speaker 2: So then you had to shift from like, hey, man,
- 17:12Speaker 2: I think maybe we can make a run at this
- 17:14Speaker 2: Western Conference, you know. You know Bert one time asked me,
- 17:17Speaker 2: He's like, do you think we can beat our best
- 17:20Speaker 2: home record ever as a franchise. I was like, yeah,
- 17:23Speaker 2: we can actually do that. But now with all this
- 17:25Speaker 2: stuff going on, you have to switch. And then there
- 17:28Speaker 2: was a point where I'm like, I'm looking at the
- 17:30Speaker 2: starting lineup or just seeing who's available, and I'm thinking, man,
- 17:35Speaker 2: just get us in the playoffs, give us any kind
- 17:38Speaker 2: of a shot, you know, because by then we'll be healthy,
- 17:42Speaker 2: and then nobody's gonna want to face Denver even that,
- 17:44Speaker 2: you know, especially as a lower seed, and now to
- 17:47Speaker 2: be third after going through all that, man, to me,
- 17:50Speaker 2: is a blessing, to be quite honest with you, Well.
- 17:53Speaker 5: Cause answered this question for me. Then when they do
- 17:56Speaker 5: get healthy, what is the starting five considering how Peyton
- 17:59Speaker 5: Watson played.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question because Gordon has said in
- 18:03Speaker 2: the past he doesn't mind coming off the bench, and
- 18:07Speaker 2: that's gonna be. That's gonna be a coaches thing. Man,
- 18:10Speaker 2: That's that's above my pay grade. I would probably just
- 18:13Speaker 2: go back to what you have and what you thought of,
- 18:19Speaker 2: you know, and I don't know. I guess you could
- 18:22Speaker 2: make I mean Cam Johnson, Peyton Watson. I mean, they're
- 18:25Speaker 2: both gonna play a bunch of minutes, so you know,
- 18:28Speaker 2: to me, the starters kind of don't really matter to me.
- 18:31Speaker 2: It's always about who finishes the games, not who starts him.
- 18:35Speaker 4: God's Vick here? How you doing, buddy?
- 18:37Speaker 2: Hey? Brother? What's up? Man?
- 18:40Speaker 4: Hung out with your boy on Mike Miller last night?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's a great dude. I had him in
- 18:45Speaker 2: the radio booth a couple of weeks ago.
- 18:47Speaker 6: I know he's so good, he's so cool. I know,
- 18:49Speaker 6: he's running that agency now and he's doing great work there.
- 18:52Speaker 2: So he's just the best. Yes, he is.
- 18:55Speaker 6: So so he said this to me, and he's not
- 18:57Speaker 6: the only one. I had a couple of people here.
- 18:58Speaker 6: I'm at this NBA hotel, the bunch of NBA execs
- 19:01Speaker 6: and stuff, and somebody walked up and said, man, when
- 19:03Speaker 6: you guys get healthy, you are the only team that
- 19:06Speaker 6: can beat them, And I.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Was like, huh.
- 19:08Speaker 6: Sometimes the perspective outside looking in is different because we
- 19:11Speaker 6: are so close to it, like we watch every game,
- 19:14Speaker 6: we live and die by every bucket, and we know
- 19:17Speaker 6: highs and lows.
- 19:18Speaker 4: It affects us.
- 19:19Speaker 6: But the national perspective is still that Denver Nuggets are
- 19:23Speaker 6: a championship contender. And that made me feel good about
- 19:26Speaker 6: this team. Do you do you get the same reaction
- 19:28Speaker 6: from people when you go from city to city.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah. But so, and here's what I Here's what I
- 19:34Speaker 2: always say is when it like, if you know, first
- 19:37Speaker 2: of all, I don't understand why the NBA doesn't receive
- 19:40Speaker 2: to me, this is the dumbest thing ever. But whatever,
- 19:43Speaker 2: So that's beside the point. But if you look at
- 19:46Speaker 2: Oklahoma Cities run last year, the only one that gave
- 19:49Speaker 2: them any business was Denver and you yeah, well yeah,
- 19:54Speaker 2: and Indiana, but in the West, it was Denver in
- 19:56Speaker 2: order for the right to fight for that thing. But
- 20:00Speaker 2: you had, basically, with all due respect, no depth. And
- 20:05Speaker 2: you had Aaron Gordon playing on one leg. And I
- 20:09Speaker 2: personally watched two of our equipment managers help Michael Porter
- 20:13Speaker 2: Junior take off of his take off his jersey after
- 20:16Speaker 2: a playoff game because he couldn't raise his hand, and
- 20:19Speaker 2: with all because he couldn't raise his arms. So with
- 20:22Speaker 2: all that, you still took him to seven. So now,
- 20:26Speaker 2: how are you different? Now? Once you get healthy, you
- 20:29Speaker 2: have depth. And here's the beauty of this season. It
- 20:32Speaker 2: doesn't look like it, but the Nuggets are getting better
- 20:36Speaker 2: in a hole, right because you're playing Spencer Jones, you're
- 20:39Speaker 2: playing Jalen Pickett, you're playing Zeke Nase. And then when
- 20:44Speaker 2: you get healthy, if you need to, you know, trust
- 20:48Speaker 2: is a big thing with coaches, right, so if you
- 20:50Speaker 2: need to, you now trust those guys to come into
- 20:54Speaker 2: a playoff game and contribute. So it may not look
- 20:57Speaker 2: like it from the outside, but playing all these young
- 20:59Speaker 2: bucks man, you're getting better, you really are, because they're
- 21:02Speaker 2: getting this valuable playing time, so it's huge.
- 21:04Speaker 5: So it's that's what's crazy to me is that in
- 21:07Speaker 5: the deepest I don't know if it's the deepest Nuggets
- 21:10Speaker 5: team ever. I think arguably it is, but certainly the
- 21:13Speaker 5: deepest in the Jokich era. You have all these different
- 21:16Speaker 5: guys getting playing time and proving that they're worthy of it.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Like Julian Straw there's another example of somebody's like, okay,
- 21:21Speaker 5: he's capable of handling minutes. When you think about this
- 21:25Speaker 5: team fully healthy, go through the list of names you
- 21:28Speaker 5: can go to, like eleven or maybe twelve guys that
- 21:30Speaker 5: you're comfortable putting in the game, which I mean, it's
- 21:34Speaker 5: like double what it's been the last couple of years.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Yeah, easy, right, And although you probably won't, like you know,
- 21:41Speaker 2: normally in the first round you use nine guys, in
- 21:43Speaker 2: the second round to use eight, and then then from
- 21:46Speaker 2: there on out you use seven. But they're there if
- 21:49Speaker 2: you need him, they're there. And then if Adamman likes
- 21:51Speaker 2: a matchup with a certain team and you know he's
- 21:54Speaker 2: not going to be afraid to throw those guys out there, man,
- 21:56Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I think there was, like just
- 21:59Speaker 2: look at Jalen Picket. I mean, how many people were
- 22:02Speaker 2: hating on him two years ago. That guy's playing out
- 22:04Speaker 2: of his mind right now. You know, Spencer Jones, nobody
- 22:07Speaker 2: who ever really heard of before started. I don't even
- 22:11Speaker 2: know how many games this year for the Nuggets. So yeah,
- 22:14Speaker 2: the depth is huge, you know, I mean, and that's
- 22:17Speaker 2: going to mean a lot for Denver, especially when you're
- 22:19Speaker 2: trying to match up with Oklahoma City's depth. And if
- 22:22Speaker 2: it comes down to that, which it probably will.
- 22:25Speaker 6: Are you concerned my chief concern going into the final
- 22:29Speaker 6: twenty seven games and into the playoffs.
- 22:31Speaker 4: I got one concern.
- 22:32Speaker 6: Because you know as well as I the Denver Nuggets
- 22:35Speaker 6: are not going to win a championship if Aaron Gordon
- 22:38Speaker 6: is not healthy. I think the future of this team
- 22:41Speaker 6: short term rests on his hamstring. And I don't know
- 22:44Speaker 6: what to do about that. I mean, you're on the
- 22:46Speaker 6: road to massage. Iim on a nightly basis. What can
- 22:49Speaker 6: be done here?
- 22:50Speaker 2: Well, not me personally, because I'd be weird, you know
- 22:53Speaker 2: what I mean?
- 22:54Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you have the proper methods.
- 22:55Speaker 5: How much you want to help the team?
- 23:00Speaker 2: No, I agree with you, Vic, but you know he's
- 23:03Speaker 2: one of those gamers where like it's like, he's not
- 23:08Speaker 2: one of those guys that even if it hurts, he's
- 23:11Speaker 2: not gonna not play when it comes down to it.
- 23:14Speaker 2: So I don't know, this might be it's a concern.
- 23:17Speaker 2: I agree with you, one hundred percent agree with you.
- 23:20Speaker 2: Those things take forever to get over. Luckily we have
- 23:24Speaker 2: some time before that happens. But I just don't see
- 23:29Speaker 2: him passing up games that matter because he's a little
- 23:35Speaker 2: bit injured, because he played the entire playoffs last year
- 23:38Speaker 2: with that basically the same injury, right, it was the
- 23:40Speaker 2: same thing.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Do you think that Jokicz looks right or is he
- 23:44Speaker 5: still dealing with like some injury stuff.
- 23:47Speaker 2: No, I think he was dealing with injury stuff. But
- 23:51Speaker 2: was it last game or the game before. It was
- 23:54Speaker 2: the first game back since his injury where he played
- 23:57Speaker 2: the entire first quarter and then in that overtime game
- 24:01Speaker 2: he played forty plus minutes, So that would tell me
- 24:04Speaker 2: that he's you know, I don't think anybody's perfect in
- 24:07Speaker 2: the NBA right now, but that would tell me he's
- 24:09Speaker 2: good enough, you know what I mean. Plus, I'll take
- 24:12Speaker 2: eighty percent of that guy over one hundred percent of
- 24:14Speaker 2: anybody else. Yeah.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 6: Hey, by the way, your stuff with Gallo in the
- 24:18Speaker 6: Boot the other night was so damn good.
- 24:20Speaker 4: I mean it was so good.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, what did you ask him an Italian?
- 24:25Speaker 2: I watched that I was listening to that show.
- 24:28Speaker 6: I asked him a question that everybody's been wondering for years.
- 24:31Speaker 6: I said, is it true that for the majority of
- 24:33Speaker 6: your career you wore to pay? And he undeniably said no,
- 24:38Speaker 6: he said no way that Ever, I still think he did.
- 24:44Speaker 2: That was pretty good. Your Italian still pretty good?
- 24:46Speaker 4: No, it wasn't. It was terrible.
- 24:48Speaker 6: By the way, I felt like an idiot, But your
- 24:50Speaker 6: work with Gallo was awesome. And it got me to thinking.
- 24:54Speaker 6: Do you remember that season? I know you do, when
- 24:56Speaker 6: the Denver Nuggets went thirty eight and three at home?
- 25:00Speaker 4: Yes, thirty three?
- 25:01Speaker 2: Well, that was Georgia's first year, right, like he came
- 25:04Speaker 2: in halfway through the season.
- 25:05Speaker 4: War No, No, that was I think that was later that.
- 25:08Speaker 4: That was that twenty twelve twenty thirteen season.
- 25:10Speaker 2: That was all. So this was after the nine year
- 25:13Speaker 2: I got joke.
- 25:13Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. This was the one of
- 25:16Speaker 6: the if not the last year. They lost to Golden
- 25:18Speaker 6: State in the first round because Gallo injured himself. Gallo
- 25:20Speaker 6: got hurt on himil fifth and the rest of.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's yeah. Basically, some people, some I don't know,
- 25:26Speaker 2: a lot of people argue that the Nuggets can have
- 25:28Speaker 2: had a run that year had he not been hurt,
- 25:30Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
- 25:31Speaker 6: Yes, he seems to think that too, that you know,
- 25:33Speaker 6: they could have had a championship here, but you know
- 25:35Speaker 6: that re means to be seen. The point I'm getting
- 25:37Speaker 6: to is that thirty eight and three home record is absurd,
- 25:40Speaker 6: and they played a certain style. What did they do
- 25:43Speaker 6: then that the Nuggets aren't doing now at home?
- 25:48Speaker 2: They had probably twice as much pace that They just
- 25:53Speaker 2: scared the hell out of every team that came in here.
- 25:56Speaker 2: They played so fast, and they already had almost every
- 26:01Speaker 2: single night, they almost already had the opponent beat in
- 26:05Speaker 2: their heads before they got here. Because you got to
- 26:08Speaker 2: think of yourself as the other team. It's like you're
- 26:10Speaker 2: on a road trip, whether it be you know, the
- 26:12Speaker 2: second game, in the fifth game, in third game, in
- 26:15Speaker 2: second game of a back to back, you gotta think
- 26:18Speaker 2: to yourself. And I've talked to players about this before,
- 26:21Speaker 2: where like who's up next? They're like Denver and they're
- 26:24Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh my god, man, I do not
- 26:27Speaker 2: want to go in the altitude and run, because that's
- 26:31Speaker 2: what they did. They just played so fast that I
- 26:34Speaker 2: just think they won. They won the mental warfare against
- 26:37Speaker 2: teams before they even got here. That was huge.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Cause Jamal Murray's finally awarded an All Star nod. He's
- 26:46Speaker 5: gonna participate in a three point contest. It's well deserved
- 26:49Speaker 5: for somebody that has been so essential to this team.
- 26:52Speaker 5: But me and Vick we're talking about this recently hard.
- 26:55Speaker 5: Me feels bad for Jamal because if he has a
- 26:57Speaker 5: forty point game, he'll get interviewed afterwards and it's like,
- 27:00Speaker 5: YO could truly set you up for success tonight. It's
- 27:03Speaker 5: always about Yo Kines And I'm glad that he got
- 27:06Speaker 5: an individual accolade on this. But what do you think's
- 27:09Speaker 5: made him different this year? Because he's obviously having the
- 27:11Speaker 5: best season of his career. You're around him all the time.
- 27:14Speaker 5: What's changed?
- 27:15Speaker 2: So here's what I think it is. And this is
- 27:18Speaker 2: just one man's opinion, right, he will never ever vocalize this,
- 27:24Speaker 2: but I think that he has been wanting to make
- 27:28Speaker 2: this All Star Game for a handful of years now,
- 27:33Speaker 2: and he's gone up against tough point guards, right, He's
- 27:36Speaker 2: going up against Curry and Harden and you go right
- 27:38Speaker 2: down the list. So he's always just been a little
- 27:41Speaker 2: bit short of it. And I just think he, you know,
- 27:44Speaker 2: he kind of made up his mind like, man, you know,
- 27:47Speaker 2: this is my what eleventh year? If I don't do
- 27:50Speaker 2: it now, when is it going to happen? And I
- 27:52Speaker 2: think he really really wanted to be a part of this. Now.
- 27:55Speaker 2: He plays it down because if you ask him that,
- 27:57Speaker 2: he's like, hey, man, it's a really great honor. He goes,
- 28:00Speaker 2: but all NBA means more than the All Star Game, right,
- 28:04Speaker 2: So he kind of plays it down. But I just
- 28:06Speaker 2: think in his head he wanted to be a part
- 28:08Speaker 2: of this at some point in his career. He wanted
- 28:11Speaker 2: to do it. Now when jokicch and everybody else goes down,
- 28:14Speaker 2: you know, boom, the door is wide open, it's like, hey,
- 28:18Speaker 2: we need you. So two main people. Well, I actually
- 28:21Speaker 2: think everybody stepped up. But I think we were a
- 28:24Speaker 2: little bit surprised by Jamal Murray's play. I think we
- 28:28Speaker 2: were a lot surprised by Peyton Watson's play, And I
- 28:31Speaker 2: think we were surprised by the play of Spencer Jones.
- 28:34Speaker 2: But my point is Murray had the door open for him,
- 28:38Speaker 2: and I guess the green light got a little bit
- 28:40Speaker 2: greener for him with all those injuries, and it allowed
- 28:43Speaker 2: him to get his stats up there. And that's of
- 28:45Speaker 2: course what everybody looks at when it comes to All Star.
- 28:49Speaker 6: How you spending your All Star week off? Are you?
- 28:54Speaker 2: Brother? In Back in my twenties, thirties and forties, I'd
- 28:58Speaker 2: be in Mexico, Vegas or some where. But now I'm
- 29:01Speaker 2: just gonna sit on the couch watch curling. By the way,
- 29:04Speaker 2: Kan or if you know who won between USA and
- 29:07Speaker 2: Canada and men's curling, don't tell me I'm watching them all.
- 29:09Speaker 4: You're one of those guys. He's DVR in his stuff now.
- 29:13Speaker 2: But basically, Ben, I'm gonna sit on my couch and
- 29:16Speaker 2: pat Nicola Jokic and enjoy a few days off.
- 29:19Speaker 6: Good for you, hey, by the way, According to dmac
- 29:22Speaker 6: because here here's how he wants to operate. Next time
- 29:24Speaker 6: you go to Ballerina to call a game, you have
- 29:26Speaker 6: to ride your bike back and forth there with all
- 29:28Speaker 6: your stuff. He just wants strict biking to the Arena.
- 29:32Speaker 6: No more car, so put your car vic.
- 29:35Speaker 2: You know where I live, right, I mean, that's why
- 29:38Speaker 2: I'm laughing.
- 29:40Speaker 5: Nelly has one for you on the way out.
- 29:41Speaker 4: Guys, Yeah, kause.
- 29:42Speaker 7: So we've talked a lot about on the on this
- 29:44Speaker 7: show about how you decide who to root for in
- 29:47Speaker 7: the Olympics. So let me see if I have this straight.
- 29:49Speaker 7: You are You're Polish, that's your heritage. You grew up
- 29:54Speaker 7: I think for the first fourteen years of your life
- 29:56Speaker 7: in Germany and German is actually your first language. Then
- 29:59Speaker 7: your family move back to Nebraska about the time that
- 30:01Speaker 7: you were in high school.
- 30:02Speaker 4: That's its own heritage by itself exactly.
- 30:05Speaker 7: So when it comes to the World Copper the Olympics,
- 30:07Speaker 7: what's the pecking order? How do you pick who you
- 30:09Speaker 7: root for? Between USA, Poland and Germany.
- 30:12Speaker 2: So they're different in the Olympics. I root for USA,
- 30:17Speaker 2: and then you know Polish Polska as we like to
- 30:21Speaker 2: call it in the Motherland. They don't. They're not in
- 30:24Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, right, So them in Germany are
- 30:27Speaker 2: a tie. But I do follow all three. And I
- 30:31Speaker 2: hate to say this so people don't be hating on me,
- 30:33Speaker 2: but this is in my blood. When it comes to
- 30:35Speaker 2: the World Cup, I'm one hundred percent German, but I
- 30:38Speaker 2: keep a close I'm a one hundre percent Germany supporter,
- 30:41Speaker 2: but I keep a close eye on the United States
- 30:45Speaker 2: of America.
- 30:46Speaker 4: I gotta fight you on this. I gotta fight you
- 30:48Speaker 4: on this. Dude.
- 30:48Speaker 6: You know my background. You and I are the same.
- 30:51Speaker 6: I'm from an Italian background. You're from Germany. But if
- 30:54Speaker 6: the US played Italy in soccer and it was a
- 30:56Speaker 6: cup final, Cup semi final, I'm team USA all the way.
- 31:00Speaker 4: I don't understand. How how can you do that?
- 31:04Speaker 2: Well? First of all, America's got to get to a
- 31:07Speaker 2: Cup semi final.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Yeah that's true. Yeah.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Second of all, is it'll even in the World Cup again?
- 31:14Speaker 6: This?
- 31:14Speaker 4: Ye right now?
- 31:15Speaker 6: No? No, But they were and they played Itallly played
- 31:19Speaker 6: the US. You remember there was a Cup years ago
- 31:22Speaker 6: when they played.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. If it got to like a
- 31:26Speaker 2: knockout game between those two, then I would be one
- 31:29Speaker 2: hundred percent USA because I still have a lot of
- 31:32Speaker 2: family back there and I would love to blow them up,
- 31:36Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, So if it
- 31:39Speaker 2: comes to a knockout game between those two, I'm one
- 31:42Speaker 2: hundred percent USA. But I tend to follow Germany because
- 31:46Speaker 2: they tend to go a little bit further. And by
- 31:48Speaker 2: the way, I wanted to clear something up when I
- 31:49Speaker 2: said I was sitting on my couch petting Nikola Jokic,

- 31:54Speaker 4: It's not.
- 31:56Speaker 2: It's not actually the human.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I was wondering that.
- 32:00Speaker 5: We just kind of breezed past it, and I was like, oh,
- 32:04Speaker 5: I thought it was a cat. So it's a Saint Bernard.
- 32:06Speaker 2: It's Does he drool as much as Jokic? Yeah? Yeah,
- 32:12Speaker 2: he's like if you ever seen the movie Beethoven, it's
- 32:14Speaker 2: exactly that.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Wait, wait, I know somebody is the Saint Bernard. Do
- 32:17Speaker 5: you have a dedicated drool towel that you keep around
- 32:21Speaker 5: you when he when he's walking around?
- 32:22Speaker 2: Now, I just use my slippers. Man, when there's likes
- 32:25Speaker 2: Nott hanging down, I just reach out my foot and
- 32:27Speaker 2: kick him in the mouth.

- 34:02Speaker 6: They're delving into different topics like broadcasting.
- 34:06Speaker 5: I'm going to the NBA Podcast Summit. No microphones none.
- 34:11Speaker 6: Well, I mean they don't want a lot of this
- 34:13Speaker 6: new technology.
- 34:14Speaker 5: Just saying you're going to a tech summit, They're like,
- 34:16Speaker 5: no tech in here.
- 34:18Speaker 4: You can't have any tech.
- 34:19Speaker 6: You know, the tech community doesn't want any community secrets.
- 34:26Speaker 5: I'm part of the United Airlines community today. That's what
- 34:28Speaker 5: I'm gonna be.
- 34:30Speaker 4: Where you going home? What are you gonna do? Uh?
- 34:35Speaker 5: Family, some family hasn't seen new baby yet. So because
- 34:38Speaker 5: we get the extended weekend, we're gonna do that. So
- 34:42Speaker 5: listen for you quickly. We'll get to drunk takes here
- 34:47Speaker 5: in a second.
- 34:48Speaker 4: Uh.
- 34:49Speaker 5: There is I think something really interesting that's brewing in
- 34:54Speaker 5: the Olympic Hockey events, which is I think the US
- 34:58Speaker 5: is pretty damn good. Like we saw a little bit
- 35:01Speaker 5: of that in the Four Nations.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Well, we know they're good.
- 35:04Speaker 5: The issue is how good is Canada? Because Victor's stacked.
- 35:10Speaker 5: We watched it yesterday. They played again today at one
- 35:12Speaker 5: to ten, by the way, and they're taking on Switzerland.
- 35:17Speaker 5: So they played against check Ya yesterday and it felt
- 35:22Speaker 5: like it took them a while, remember five seconds before
- 35:24Speaker 5: the first period ended for them to score. But once
- 35:27Speaker 5: they turned up the gas a little bit, it was like,
- 35:29Speaker 5: all right, this thing is over over. I'm trying to
- 35:33Speaker 5: figure out what's going to take for somebody to beat
- 35:34Speaker 5: that team.
- 35:35Speaker 6: Would you agree with me that Canada and hockey sort
- 35:38Speaker 6: of like the US and basketball. The expectations are through
- 35:40Speaker 6: the roof of the expectations are gold medal or bust, right,
- 35:43Speaker 6: anything less than a gold medal for Canada. If you're
- 35:46Speaker 6: Canadian listening to the show, tell me I'm right if
- 35:50Speaker 6: silver is just not acceptable.
- 35:52Speaker 5: Okay, despite the fact that they have everybody who is
- 35:54Speaker 5: an NHL player on this team, here's the names on
- 35:57Speaker 5: it though, it's celebrin Crosby, McKinnon, Marshawn McDavid, Marner, mccarr.
- 36:08Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
- 36:09Speaker 5: It's it's not just NHL players, it's the best the
- 36:12Speaker 5: league has to offer, all of them. So yeah, on paper,
- 36:17Speaker 5: you're right, they are the US Olympic basketball team. It's
- 36:20Speaker 5: if you don't win a gold then you've royally messed
- 36:23Speaker 5: up somewhere royally. I think the US can give them
- 36:27Speaker 5: a run. I really do, and I'm with you. I
- 36:30Speaker 5: don't know how this matches up, like how do you
- 36:32Speaker 5: get to the gold medal game? And how does all
- 36:34Speaker 5: that happen? How does a bracket shake out?
- 36:37Speaker 4: Whatever?
- 36:39Speaker 5: But the US has got a lot of talent, too
- 36:41Speaker 5: disciplined and look brock Nelson that first game, two goals,
- 36:47Speaker 5: love it one other thing real quick before drunk takes.
- 36:52Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on with the Jonathan Kaminga
- 36:55Speaker 5: stuff and what's been going on for like the last
- 36:57Speaker 5: two years in Golden State. Hasn't he requested to trade
- 36:59Speaker 5: like five under times and nothing's happened in Well, listen
- 37:06Speaker 5: to this. This is how bad things have gotten. If
- 37:11Speaker 5: you remember when Jimmy Butler was in Miami, it was
- 37:14Speaker 5: like I think Dan Lebthard said this, he goes, I
- 37:18Speaker 5: have been told that if Jimmy Butler farts incorrectly, they
- 37:22Speaker 5: will suspend him for another two games. Like that's how
- 37:24Speaker 5: bad their relationship was. So Jonathan Kaminga had such a
- 37:31Speaker 5: bad relationship with Golden State that it even got to this,
- 37:36Speaker 5: he knew management wanted the dingham for missing team requested
- 37:39Speaker 5: events and alert him that someone around him was taking
- 37:43Speaker 5: too much food from the family room.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Is Jesse related to Jonathan Community ripes between player and organization,
- 37:58Speaker 3: as multiple sources said, had become I'm so petty in
- 38:01Speaker 3: the fifth year.
- 38:02Speaker 5: Of the relationship many believed should have ended years before.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Jesse.
- 38:09Speaker 5: Here's the thing. If you guys don't know Jesse's he
- 38:12Speaker 5: does a whole bunch of things around here behind the scenes.
- 38:14Speaker 5: He follows vic Aroun when he's on the road of places.
- 38:16Speaker 5: He was with him in the Super Bowl. But whenever
- 38:19Speaker 5: Jesse is at an event like that, whether there is
- 38:22Speaker 5: free food, he makes minimum three trips. Oh yeah, minimum.
- 38:27Speaker 6: And I respect that. I'm not poking, but I respect
- 38:30Speaker 6: the hell out of that. He goes crazy when it
- 38:33Speaker 6: comes to free food.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Can you imagine this, though, Like your relationship with your
- 38:39Speaker 5: company is so bad that somebody in the company walks
- 38:41Speaker 5: up and goes, can you tell your brother to take
- 38:44Speaker 5: it easy on the pasta and leave some for everybody else?
- 38:49Speaker 4: What are they put in their pockets? I don't know.
- 38:54Speaker 5: How does it get that and how much food are
- 38:57Speaker 5: you taking? Unreal?
- 39:01Speaker 4: Sounds like something my family would do. It really does.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Look when when I'm in this suite for like a
- 39:07Speaker 5: Nuggets or Ass game or something like that. Don't get
- 39:09Speaker 5: me wrong, I think I participate in the food that's
- 39:11Speaker 5: in that suite, like.
- 39:12Speaker 4: I'm sure you do.
- 39:12Speaker 5: I get after it. I can't imagine if who would
- 39:17Speaker 5: be hosting that. Sean is hosting the suite and he's like, Brett,
- 39:20Speaker 5: can you leave some for the others?
- 39:23Speaker 8: Please?
- 39:24Speaker 4: Dude, dude. Super Bowl thirty two, I've told you the story.
- 39:29Speaker 4: I had seven family members in that game. My dad
- 39:31Speaker 4: was at that game. Each seat. Back then, EAS was
- 39:35Speaker 4: a sponsor of the Broncos e as it was the
- 39:38Speaker 4: only workout stuff. Yeah, so they gave away hats.
- 39:43Speaker 6: My dad got back to Denver with forty seven EAS hats.
- 39:49Speaker 4: Forty seven EAS hats?
- 39:52Speaker 5: Where do you put them? Do you have a bag
- 39:54Speaker 5: with them stored?
- 39:55Speaker 4: Those suckers up? Real good? That is so great.
- 39:59Speaker 5: I mean, part of it's like I respect the hustle.
- 40:01Speaker 4: I respect the hell out of it. Man, go to work,
- 40:05Speaker 4: all right, get your hats.
- 40:06Speaker 5: Let's get to our favorite part of the week. Please,
- 40:08Speaker 5: Drunk Turts, Arger, Lombardi and Kane first du Drunk.
- 40:14Speaker 6: Takes for the record, I think this sort of dehumanizes us,
- 40:21Speaker 6: and it really cracks out our credibility to the show.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Drunk Takes.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Drunk takes their clips from throughout the week, we slow
- 40:32Speaker 5: them down to half speed. It makes it sound like
- 40:33Speaker 5: we're hammered.

- 40:39Speaker 2: Yokic and enjoy a few days.
- 40:41Speaker 4: Uh.

- 40:44Speaker 2: when I said I was sitting on my couch Petty
- 40:48Speaker 2: Niccola Yokic. That's my safe Bernard's name snack, So it's
- 40:54Speaker 2: a It's not actually the human.
