  Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? Welcome in here. Happy Friday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to you. Now we got the West Coast officially in Friday.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: We can say that to everybody now. Very fired up
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: for Friday. Very fired up. We got a lot of ball.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Got a lot of ball to get to. A lot
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of season outlook type stuff. Week zero, which I entitle
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: week suck. I don't know why college football does this
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: every single year. We're all excited for football to be
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: back and college football is like How about a bunch
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of mediocre or less than mediocre teams start the party
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: over here? I don't know why. It's like clockwork. Every year,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: they don't get us a star-studded game at all. I
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't get it. But we're excited
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: for Ball to be back. I don't want to bury
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the lead over here. But Week Zero is not going
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to do anything to get you really revved up for
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the season. Week one in college football will. There's some
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: great games week one in the NFL. Certainly will. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with that, we'll look past week suck, a.k.a. week zero,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: which is a dud, and we will look toward real
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: football and real results and all that good stuff. I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: going to get to a couple of no-mosses. Remember the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: old Roberto Duran right there?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: No-moss.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: We've got a couple of no-mosses in the sports world,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: one that I'm totally in favor of, one I'm not
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: in favor of whatsoever. But I will say, not to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: delay the point anymore, I was saying, because it would
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: be fun tonight. We had one call earlier where Chandler
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was in Minnesota, and he was talking about his I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: was there moment. He was there for game seven of
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the 87 World Series. Very cool. Very nice. This is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: twins beat my Cardinals, which was the unfortunate thing right there.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But he was there. I was there. Remember the old
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Chris Berman line right there? And I just said, because
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I was at the Braves game on Thursday night. I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: doing this crazy baseball tour. And I'll give you a very,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: very brief, you know, like, I don't know, description of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: my touring ways. So last week, I started in Indiana.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: So I went up to the Twins game, then cut
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: over to Denver. I drove all the way over to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Denver to see the Rockies take on the Dodgers, then
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: hit a Royals game. Then I went out east. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: went to Camden Yards. Never been there before. Saw the Orioles.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And then I hit a Phillies game. Hadn't been to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Citizens Bank Ballpark either. So I went there on Saturday.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So that was the first week. I hit five games
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in six days. And then this week, I resumed the tour.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: On Tuesday, I drove to D.C. Saw a Nationals game. Wednesday,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I drove to Miami. So that was a hectic day
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of driving. Started off in upstate New York. I started in... Albany,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: New York, drove to D.C., saw the game, then drove
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to Miami, which is a long freaking drive. It's 15
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: hours plus just from D.C. to Miami. But I made it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Then I drove up to Atlanta last night, Thursday, saw
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that game, and I'll go to Tampa after this show.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll take a brief nap for an hour and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: then get back in the car. So it's been fun.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun. But the point of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this whole baseball tour is I was at the game
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: last night. That was the best game I've seen during
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this trip, by far. It was the pitcher's duel, Chris
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Sale against Yamamoto. And Chris Sale was absolutely fantastic. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: do love a couple of his sound bites. I love
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: this one, going deep in games, right? Complete game, threw
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: over 100 pitches. And I was there, I can confirm,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: his arm did not fall off. His arm is still attached.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I know if a pitcher reaches triple digits. Oh, my gosh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: This is a cruel and unusual punishment. This is like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what are we? He's fine. He's fine. He's good. He's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: all right. Chris Sale is just fine. He prides himself
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: going deep in ballgames. Here's Chris Sale after his complete game.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Shut out. You just say shut out. You don't need both.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But I started complete game and then, you know, zero
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: runs given up. Here you go.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Anytime I take the ball, I pride myself in going
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: deep in the games.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Those guys have been.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Working their butts off all year, man. You know, anytime
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you can give them a day off, it's awesome. So
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just thankful. Okay, now this was the highlight. This is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the best comment by far. This is the question and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the initial response from Chris Sale.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You threw a pitch over 100 miles per hour for
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the first time in eight years.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: How? With my arm.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: How'd you do it, man? Like, it's my arm. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I got to credit my arm right there. You know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I was pretty strong. His first pitch over 100 miles
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: per hour since 2018. That's what he did on Thursday night.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, he credits his left arm for being able
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to pitch that fast. No, but this is a full
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: sound bite. Check it out. He threw a pitch.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Over 100 miles per hour for the first time in
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: eight years.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: How? With my arm.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: A little adrenaline.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This atmosphere was unbelievable. You know, so I.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Guess just that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: There you go. All right. There you go.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: My arm.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: That's how I did it. So, yeah, I made it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to that game. That was a lot of fun. That
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was good. It was a great atmosphere. Beautiful ballpark, too.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Very nice. The one downside, as I do like to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get one of the mini helmets, get a little ice cream,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: get a mini helmet, nice little keepsake right there. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: love the mini helmets. The guy that I went in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: like the top of the sixth inning, because I like
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to be there for take me out to the ball game, right?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Like I'll take a video of it. I'll send it
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to my dad. It's just one of those father-son things, right?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So if I'm at a game and I'm not with him,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'll take a video of that and send it to him.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And so I was getting my ice cream helmet and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And the dude was taken for life. Like he was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: an NWO from back in the day. He was taken forever.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is not happening. It's not happening.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So I left that stand and I just, most ballparks,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you can just walk over and see the scoreboard and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: no problem. That's not how truest park or field. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: don't know what a truest, that's not how it is.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Because if you're on the, like the 100 level, They
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: have the bleachers from above you everywhere. Like you can't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: see the scoreboard unless you go to your seat. You
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: can't see it. And so I took a video, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it's the worst video you've ever seen in your life.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That's even what I sent my dad. I'm like, sorry,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was trying to get ice cream and food, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't get back to my seat, and this is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the worst video I've ever sent you by far. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that was the downside is the guy on the ice
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: cream helmet is a little slow, a little slow on
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the uptake right there. But it was fantastic. It was
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a beautiful stadium. Very nice ballpark right there. But the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: most famous I was there moment, it was actually as
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: a diehard Notre Dame fan. So I'm from South Bend, Indiana.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: All I've known my whole life is Notre Dame football.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I love Notre Dame football. I was on the sideline,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: which was really, really cool, for the Bush-Push game. That
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was in 2005. And so I was doing like the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: radio pregame stuff. And what was cool is you would
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: go to the game and then you could go down
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to the field for the final five minutes. So I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was on the field and it was the famous USC
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: come from behind win. They had this just famous drive
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: at the end. And Reggie Bush pushed Matt Leinart into
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the end zone for the winning touchdown. And I was
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: right there on the field. And it was just like
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: tear your heart out type stuff because I'll never forget
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the way that went down. You know, I'm going to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: get you lost in the details, but it won't be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: too painful here. I'll go quick. It was third and 20.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget this guy, Trevor Laws. He was the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman for Notre Dame, and he sacked Matt Leinart.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: It's third and 20. USC is the number one team
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in the country at the time. I think Notre Dame
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was ranked ninth. but they're both top 10 teams. Notre
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Dame is on the cusp of beating the number one
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: team in the country, right? Defending champs, the whole thing.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: The crowd is going berserk. Third and 20 sack, all
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the energy, all the emotion. And then Matt Leinart, that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the play that gets overlooked all the time. He found
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Reggie Bush out of the backfield and he kind of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: scoots for 11 yards, sets up fourth and nine, but
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: it was fourth and manageable. And then Matt Leinart hit
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Jarrett, He burned Ashley Ambrose, a former Notre Dame corner,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: just torched him and almost took it to the house,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: but he got tackled from behind, and the rest is history.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: USC eventually got the ball in the end zone, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Reggie Bush pushed Matt Leinart into the end zone, which
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: technically was illegal. I've never whined about that. I don't
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: know what it is in me. I just can't bring
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: myself to, that was actually an illegal play, and it
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: should have... I don't know, man. It's a shoulder shrug.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like I can't argue with technicality right there.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: USC won the game. I know technically was illegal, but
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I just can't whine about that one.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: But I was at that game and it was by
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: far the most well-known game that I was in attendance for.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: It was like Joe Montana was on the sideline. I
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: didn't bug him. Probably I should have, but I just,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I don't bug people. They got people bugging them all
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: the time. I should have went up and been like,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Hey Joe, can I get a quick picture over here?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And he probably would've been cool with it. But, uh,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like a star studded event. It's, uh,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it's one of the most famous Notre Dame USC games ever.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It's gotta be the most famous one. So I was
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in attendance for that one. I was there for that one.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: If you have any, I was there moments that you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: want to share, feel free to hit me up on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: X at the no show. Now I did mention there
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: are a couple of no mosses in the sports world.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: No more pro bowl.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: It's gone.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: NFL.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Will not have the pro bowl anymore. No game. They
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: will have, uh, they will name pro bowlers, which is cool.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's cool. They're going to be 88 players.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And so you get the distinction of being a pro bowler.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: There'll be a distinction of being an All-Pro, which is
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just a more, I don't know, distinct list to be on.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You're not one of three quarterbacks from each conference. You're
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the quarterback, and that's it. So All-Pro is just a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: more distinct list. list to be on, but the Pro
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Bowl rosters will continue. We just don't want to have
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a goofy game or we're not going to play who
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can do the most jumping jacks or whatever they're doing.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The Pro Bowl games is just ridiculous. And the NFL
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: was like, Yeah, this is dumb. They're still getting ratings.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: They're still getting 5 million plus people to watch that stuff,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: which is not nothing. There are leagues that would kill
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: for ratings like that. I watch the WNBA all the time.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I love basketball. And I just saw there was a little,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: there was a little stat here where it was the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: most watched regular season game of all time. It was
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Indiana fever and the, the Atlanta dream recently, right?
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You know, Caitlin, Angel Reese, the whole thing, but it
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: was 3.3 million people watch the game. Shout out to them.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: There's the most watched regular season game in WNBA history
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to make sure since the, since the league's inaugural weekend
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: in 1997. So it was the most watched since then.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And you know, 3.3 million viewers on NBC and Peacock.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So like, Shout out to them. This is not, it's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: going to sound like a, a compliment diss, right? Like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm dissing them while giving them a compliment. I'm really
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: not meaning to do that. Like that's great for the WNBA.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They're making more strides. It's great. But something that is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like the peak of a league is like throw away
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for the NFL. Like, yeah, I know we get 5
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: million people for these goofy pro pro bowl games, but
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, let's just say the hell with it. You know, like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: We don't even need to bother. It's kind of dumb.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Like a dumb event for the NFL still gets 5
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: million plus in terms of viewership. That's insane. Like there
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: are playoff games, playoffs, right? There are Stanley cup final
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: games where they're like, we would kill for 5 million people.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Like there are MLB games galore. They would kill for
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: 5 million people. It's a goofy pro bowl games thing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: event that the NFL is just like, yeah, we're better
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: than this. This is, this is just dumb. So they're
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: doing away with it. No more pro bowl, which is fine.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I do like this. We're not going to get the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: goofy alternate pro bowlers anymore. That was the dumbest thing ever.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And that goes for the NFL goes for MLB goes
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: for any league to have the distinction of being a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: pro bowler just because nobody else wants to go. That's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: not a real Pro Bowl. You're not a real all-star
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: in baseball. If there are guys that are like, yeah, no,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I'd rather not. There was a pitcher for the Phillies
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: this year that was like, oh, I'm the fifth or
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: sixth choice. No, I'm good. And so then the next
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: guy goes and he's an all-star. It shouldn't be the case.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: We got in the NFL quarterback Snoop Huntley. He was
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a Pro Bowler one year. He was an alternate. They're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: just asking the next guy, like, hey, you want to go? No,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Do you want to go? No, I'm fine.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Can you make it?
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: No.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And then it got all the way down to Snoop Huntley,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: and Snoop's like, hell yeah. And he was a Pro
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Bowl alternate. So if you go on his Pro Football
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: reference page, it'll say... Snoop Huntley, Pro Bowl, one time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: It's like, what? He was a Pro Bowler? That's insanity
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: right there. So I love that the alternates are a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: thing of the past. That was just dumb from the beginning. But,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know, the actual distinction of being a Pro Bowler
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: will remain, and that's cool. I'm looking at Tyler Huntley's, yep,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: one-time Pro Bowl right there. It's like, what? Yeah, that's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: a thing. He has the distinction as a one-time Pro Bowler.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Because he was the alternate of the alternate of the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: alternate of the other alternate who was the original alternate
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: of the secondary alternate who was the third alternate of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the fourth alternate. Yeah, he's a pro bowler. It's crazy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: This is wild right there. The other no mas, how
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: about this? No more ESPN ticker during college football games.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: You know, the bottom line where they flash the scores
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of other games? They're not doing that anymore. Not going
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to have it. They just think it's, I don't know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: like too much clutter, or they don't want to promote
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a game that isn't on ESPN. It could invite you
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: if you're like, oh my gosh, LSU's in trouble right now.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Who's got that game? It's probably a bad example because
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the SEC is on ESPN, but I don't know. It
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: promotes a Notre Dame game. Notre Dame is... It's trailing
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: by three points right now. We're in the third quarter,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and it's like, holy cow, Notre Dame's down? What channel?
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: NBC?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: All right, let's flip over to NBC. Maybe ESPN came
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: to the realization that's probably not good. Probably not good
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to promote other games on other networks, so let's not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: do that anymore. Maybe that was part of the thinking,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: but I don't like the change. I do like the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: scores just flipping up there, and anytime there's a score,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not watching my phone throughout games. I'm not sitting
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: there just staring at my phone to see if there's
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a scoring update. I rely on the bottom line for that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: And it's in real time. You're watching a play, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the play ends, and instead of watching the replay, your
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: eyes go down and look at the ticker, and you're like, oh, shoot,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: they scored, man. They're only down by three points now
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: or whatever. You stay on top of those games, you're
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to do that this year.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I don't like that change. Not a fan of that change.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: No more ticker on ESPN college football games. Don't like
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that one. All right, we got calls lined up. 877-99-ON-FOX
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is your number. The militia has thoughts. We want to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: get to them right around the corner. I don't want
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to shortchange you, so I'll tell you what. We'll bang
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: out some business here real fast, and then we will
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: stretch our legs out and get to the full comments
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: right around the corner here. I don't want to shortchange you,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: so we'll do that coming up next. We got a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: couple of I was there's. You got to say it
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like Boomer. That's not my official Boomer impression, but, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it'll make do.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Well, here's some I was there. I don't know why
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: it is. I love hearing those stories because you reminisce
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: in some great, great games. Of course, you run the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: risk of someone just making something up out of thin air.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That's always possible. But you got to have better things
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to do with your time and the wee hours on
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: a Friday morning.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But I do love reminiscing and, you know, some of
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: these stories, right? Like we had last hour, a guy
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: got a ticket to Game 7 for $ 10. Chandler saw
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Game 7 of the 87 World Series for $ 10. That's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: insanity right there. But I love stories like that. So
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we'll get a little story time from the militia, hear
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: what's on their mind right around the corner. Also, my
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: guy Jeff Schwartz, a.k.a. the Schwartz Syndicate, as we call
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: him on our Sunday morning countdown to kickoff show. He's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: been called out by one Sean Payton, the Broncos head coach.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll get to that as well. A little Payton v. Schwartz.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun. We'll get that to you right around
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the corner as well as the worst drum fill in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the history of music. I will get that to you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: as well. So I owe you a lot of stuff.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: We'll start to pay it off right around the corner.
• 17:57

• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Sorry, you got to let it breathe
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I can't jump in with just like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: witches at black masses. You know, this is a legendary
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: song with, by the way, Coop, the worst drum fill
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: in the history of drum fills. I don't know exactly
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: where it is in this song.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: No, no, this one's War Pigs.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is War Pigs. Sorry, I'm talking about Iron Man.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Iron Man is the worst drum fill in the history
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of drum fills. I got to record that and get
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it to you. Because, Coop, you sent me this list
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of the top ten drummers of all time, right? They
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: had Bill Ward of Black Sabbath. I think it was
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: ninth on the list. I don't have the list right
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: in front of me right here.
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: Yes, that is correct.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was ninth. And any big beefs
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: with this list here, Coop? You want to rattle it off?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: We got John Bonham of... Led Zeppelin, number one. You
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: want to talk trash about that one right out of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the gate here, Coop?
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: I mean, I obviously think Neil Peart is number one,
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: but a lot of people do put John Bonham there.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: So I'm not, you know, it's not what I would do,
• 19:43
  Speaker 9: but I understand it. And I should say that it
• 19:46
  Speaker 9: was the top 10 heavy metal slash hard rock drummer.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, there you go. there you go it's important to
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Right because it leaves out you know a bunch of
• 19:54
  Speaker 9: jazz drummers that people would be like oh.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: It's yeah there are some amazing drummers yeah random genres
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that aren't as popular yeah sure no doubt we got
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: dave lombardo from slayer he's number three your guy from
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: tool Number four.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: Danny Carey should be number two under Neil Peart.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy here, Coop. Let's slow it down
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: here a little bit. I can't see fifth. Who's fifth?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: You have that list in front of you?
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Nico McBrien. Brain. Brain. Iron Maiden.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not a big Iron Maiden guy. My metal
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: friends hate me for that take, but. I don't know, man.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Something about falsetto voices. Don't like it with my metal.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I'm out.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I musically love Iron Maiden. The music's fine. As soon
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: as it's like run to out, I'm out.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I'm out.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I need someone who's angry at the world who sounds
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: like it. You don't sound angry. It's like run to. No, done.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I don't need opera with my metal.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Hard pass. They've got Lars Sixth. Every drummer hates Lars Ulrich.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I've never heard one drummer say anything halfway positive about Lars.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I love Metallica, especially old school Metallica. I do love Lars,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: but it's just funny to me that the drummers have
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: no love for Lars whatsoever. I've never heard one positive thing.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Mike Portnoy from dream theater coop. What are we doing here?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Seventh on the list.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Mike Portnoy is actually pretty amazing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. Uh, what else do we have here? Man, it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: a small writing here. Cozy Powell. Yeah. White Snake, Black Sabbath.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Then we got Bill Ward, Black Sabbath. This is a travesty.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Joey Jordison from Slipknot.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: 10th.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: That guy was insane. He was a great drummer. Outstanding. Yeah,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you can't have him 10th on the list. That's just.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: it's better to not even have them on the list
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and maybe you just forget, but you see his name
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and you're like, that's way, way too low, way too low.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: But I gotta get you, I gotta get you the,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: the Black Sabbath drum fill. I laugh every single time, man,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: in Iron Man. It's literally just like, doom, doom, doom, doom.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And then it's back to the main, back to the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: main riff.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: It's bad.
• 22:16
  Speaker 8: It's not good.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It's, uh, it's the opposite of good, but it's, it's, uh,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: It's funny. Let's get to the phones. I mentioned the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: militia is on hold here. They want to check in.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what they have on their minds. Let me
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: go to South Dakota. Shout out to Nate Brown, who
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: hosts a show there in South Dakota. He invited me
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, but I was at the game, and I said,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: it could work. I can make it happen. He's like,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you don't have to go on the show during the game.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Nate Brown's awesome, but Steve is over there in South Dakota. Steve,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: welcome to Fox Sports Radio. What's on your mind?
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Hey, guys. How's it going?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Pretty good.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: You should have came on the show. It was pretty
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: bad today.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: What?
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Nate Brown had a bad show? What do you mean, Steve?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Is that possible?
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: He's a homer on that Kyler Murray over in Minnesota.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: He loves him some Kyler Murray, man. There's no doubt.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: He loves him.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm 78, and let me tell you, in 1964,
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: my old man, I grew up in Omaha, but He
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: got tickets to Game 7, Yankees and Cardinals, Bob Gibson.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, man.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I got to see him play basketball in college at Creighton.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I got to see him play baseball at Creighton. I
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: was born in 1949. And anyway, we drive to St. Louis,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and the old man's brand-new Impala, me and two of
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: my brothers. And that was one of the greatest games,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: even though Bob Gibson– gave up nine hits, he had
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: nine strikeouts. Tim McCarver, this is one of the highlights,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: he actually stole the base. You weren't around when Tim
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: McCarver played, but he was slow as hell. Lou Brock
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and Ken Boyer each hit a home run. Bob Gibson
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: in that series struck out Mickey Mantle six times. And
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Mickey Mantle did get a home run in Game 7.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: But what people don't realize, Bob Gibson was 7-2 in
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: the World Series. I was at the first one. And
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: then 67, 68, I was in Vietnam. So I didn't
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: get to go to them. But that 64 series, that
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: is the greatest one I've ever seen. Because Bob Gibson.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: And he didn't have nothing left in game seven. He
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: pitched three complete games in that series. He pitched seven
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: out of nine in his career, complete games. But he
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: was just throwing a fastball. That's all he did. Had
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: no movement on it. He just threw it back and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: threw it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I love all that stuff, Steve. That's fantastic. But are
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you a Cardinals fan from way back when?
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: From way back when, yeah.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, you bet.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: You know, and that's like I said, Tim McCarver. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: think I could beat Tim right now at my age.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: When he was in his 20s.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: You don't see many fast catchers, Steve. You know, not
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: many in the sport of baseball.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Especially in the old days. Oh, yeah.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely not.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: But he struck out Mickey Merrill. That was so funny.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: He just struck them out six times in that series,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: three different games.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Man, what a story, Steve. That's awesome, buddy. I appreciate
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you checking in. That's really cool stuff. And that makes
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: me think of my dad. My dad would always talk
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: about Gibby, right? His dad would be like, they grew
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: up in Alton, Illinois, just outside of St.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Louis.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: That's where my dad is from. And so my dad
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: has told me many times that my grandfather would be like, Hey,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Gibby's pitching tonight. You want to go to the game?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And they'd go watch the Cardinals. So, yeah, my dad
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: is a huge Bob Gibson fan. There are things I
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize. I didn't know Bob Gibson played basketball
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: at Creighton. I had no idea. I didn't know that. So, listen,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: putting us up on game over here, Steve. And how
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: about that, man? Just a sign of the times where
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I was there. I saw the World
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Series in 64. I didn't get to go in 67.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: I was in NAMM. I was over in NAMM. Like, it's...
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: That's what was happening in the 60s. Like, just put
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that in present day. It blows your mind. It's just
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like another world. It's a completely different time. But, you know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: shout out to Steve for his service and that story.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: That was amazing. I love all that stuff. Let me
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: go to Jim in Seattle. He's got an I was
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: there story for us. What's going on, Jim? You're on
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: I used security for the Seahawks, and I wasn't here
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: for a beast quake. I wasn't here for the failed Mary.
• 26:53
  Speaker 10: But two things I was here for, which both happened similarly,
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: is 10 years ago, NFC Championship game, Seahawks-Packers. Seahawks down
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: by 15.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Points, four minutes to go. Come back, Jermaine Kirst, touchdown.
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: They go to the Super Bowl.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: And then this past year, Thursday night game, Seahawks. Very similar,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Seahawks are down by 16 points fourth quarter. They come back,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: beat the Rams.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, that was insane. The crazy two-point conversion.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Three two-point conversions to get that win in overtime for
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. That's crazy. Yeah, absolutely.
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: Real quick, since Cooper's a Broncos fan, ask Cooper if.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: He was there for the Tim Tebow 80-yard touchdown pass.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, to Demarius right there.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: I was not, but I remember exactly where I was.
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: I was in a hotel room at MGM Grand watching
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: the game, losing my voice, screaming at that play.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say you were hitting
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the slopes at that time, Coop. I thought you were,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you know. That's what Coop does when his Broncos are
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: out instead of the playoffs. He doesn't watch the playoffs anymore.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: He hits the slopes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: I haven't been skiing in years, actually.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I guess the Broncos have been in the playoffs. You know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I guess that's a, is that what that means?
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: Well, that ends my wife doesn't like it. And so
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: it's just, it's hard to, uh.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Your wife doesn't like what skiing. Oh, okay.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: All right. Got it.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I thought for some reason I thought you meant NFL playoffs.
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: I was like, no, no, I, I, you know, cause
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: you know, in order to go to the mountain, you
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: got to wake up like super early and it's this
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: whole thing. And you normally want to stay out there and,
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: My wife's not down, but the first time we went
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: to Mammoth, she got hurt on the first run and
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: had to be tobogganed down, and now she's over it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: She won't do it anymore.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I'd be over it, too. I'd be like, this kind
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of sucks. Not really feeling this right here. Yeah, well,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that's cool, though, from Jim in Seattle. The first one,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: when he was talking about Jermaine Curse, I'll never forget.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Jermaine Curse, the little post pattern. Russell Wilson floating it
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: right down the middle of the field. for the winning touchdown.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: And that, I believe that was the, is it Brandon Bostic?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I always mess up his first name, but Bostic was
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: on the kick return team. And that's when the Seahawks
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: had to go for an onside kick and Bostic tried
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to recover it and it just bounced right off of
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: his hands and the Seahawks recovered the onside kick. I
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: believe that had to be the same game. But yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the Bostic botched on side kick recovery and that is
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the thing, man. The Packers were crushing the Seahawks. The
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Seahawks came all the way back, won that game. Imagine
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: what would have happened. I have to go back and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: see the exact timeline for Aaron Rodgers, but imagine if
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, the two-time Super Bowl champion, I don't know
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: if it was he could have been back to back.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and, you know, some of
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: those years just run together and let's see. Cause it was,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to think out loud.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It's kind of dangerous, but the Seahawks, which year was that?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: It blew out your Broncos there.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Coop.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Is that super bowl 48? Is that a, is that
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: what it was?
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: It was a snap went over Peyton Manning said.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: 43 to eight.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: That was, is that what it was for? I think
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: super bowl 48.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I think we got that. So, yeah, Super Bowl 48.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And no, it wouldn't have been back to back because
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the Packers won 45. So we're talking they could have won.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: They did win 45. They could have won 48 if
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: they had not lost to the Seahawks. And I believe
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and check if that was
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the 48 Super Bowl. But in any event, he was
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: there for that one. And man, last year, think about
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the swing of last year's game between the Rams and Seahawks.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Three two-point conversions from the Seahawks. They're losing. They're losing
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: by 16 points. They score one touchdown, get the two-point conversion,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: score another. The first touchdown was Rashid Shahid, I believe.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Rashid Shahid had a I think it was a punt
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: return for a touchdown. They got the first two-point conversion.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: They scored again, and that was the goofy one where
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it went off of a player's helmet. I think it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: was Jared versus helmet, the guy that just got traded
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: for Miles Garrett. It went off of versus helmet, went
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: into the end zone. Zach Charbonnet just went and picked
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the ball up, and they reviewed it, and they were like, actually,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: it was a backward pass. So the two-point conversion counts,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and you're like, what just happened? Tie game goes into overtime.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Rams score. Seahawks score a touchdown to answer, and they
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: go for two in the win, and they get it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: That was an insane game, and it flipped everything. It
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: meant that the Seahawks were the one seed. They had
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: a first-round bye. The Rams were on the road the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: whole playoffs, right? They're just road team, road team, road team.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: At Carolina. At Chicago, at Seattle, the Ats caught up
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: with them. They came up a little bit short. That
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: was a great NFC title game, too. Rams at the Seahawks.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: But if the Rams win that game in the regular
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: season at Seattle, they're hosting. The road to the Super
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Bowl goes through L.A. And there's a great chance that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: the Ats, in reverse, would have caught up with Seattle.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: There's a great chance that the Rams would have ended
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: up in the Super Bowl and won it, and we'll
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: never know. But that regular season game in Seattle swung everything.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Crazy stuff. All right, let's see. We've got time for
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: one more. We've got Mike in Tucson. He wants to
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: talk some Raiders. We always have time to talk silver
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: and black. What's going on, Mike? You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: Well, Coop's a Broncos fan, so he don't know music.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: The best drummer in the world was Gilpert. And Eddie
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: Van Halen, Randy Rose... AAB, guitar player, and Nikki Sixx,
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: bass player. But that's poop. Broncos fan, apologies. I'm just
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: sad that Ben's on tonight.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I bought a.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: They know me. I'm the barbecue guy in Tucson. I
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: bought a huge smoker and named after Big Ben.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: All right. Nice.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: I love your taste. I love your taste. When you're on.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Ben doesn't smoke.
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Ben doesn't smoke.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: Ben doesn't know real barbecue, but... When it comes to
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: classic rock music, Neil Peart has to be number one.
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: You're agreeing with me. What are you talking about?
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: You said Led Zeppelin.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: No, that's what's on this list.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, okay.
• 33:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think Peart should be number one.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: Steve Peart is the best voice in classic rock ever.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: Steve Peart from Journey.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: But I'm not biased. But I just recently bought a
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: huge smoker. It's going to get welded, big man's name
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: on it. I haven't called the show in a long time.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: I miss you guys.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: So you're talking like a barbecue type thing, right, Mike,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: that you're talking about?
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: I do competition barbecue, Texas-style barbecue in Tucson.
• 34:11
  Speaker 10: Oh, man, dude.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Like brisket?
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Pulled pork? What do you get down with?
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Brisket, short ribs, pulled pork. So lately it's been so
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: crazy because I've been doing plates.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: I went on my own.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: I was in a barbecue place, one of my own,
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: and I've been doing plates every Friday. And it was
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: so good. A bunch of content creators have been coming
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: out and making videos. And it just went viral. But
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: real Texas barbecue in Tucson.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Man, dude, I would love to. Am I invited if
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I'm ever through that area? I would love to sample
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: some of this.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: If you ever come to Tucson, we'll go to a
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: Wildcats game. And I'm sure you'll be blown away.
• 34:47
  Speaker 11: You'll be blown away.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, bear down. I'm for it. I'd be totally
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: up for that. Yeah, absolutely, man. No doubt. You had
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: something on the Raiders, Mike? You have a Raiders thought
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: for us real quick?
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I think you're right.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: So, Bo Nix, he does not listen. I feel like he–
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: the AFC West is so competitive. But I feel like
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: he don't listen to his coach. I think the Broncos
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: are on the down. The Raiders, you know, what we've done,
• 35:16
  Speaker 11: best centers, and I know it's a rough patch for Mendoza,
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: but he's.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: A chosen one.
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: He's a Mandalorian.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Are you a strong one, guys?
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I dabble. You know, I'm not huge. I'm not going
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: to dress up as a Wookiee, but I like good movies.
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: We got the quarterback.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: We got Foggy.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: You're fired up, man. I get it. I get it. Like,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the phone's getting further and further away from Mike.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds like you're in a dark, deep hole.
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: I'll talk closer. But I feel like he's a Broncos apologist.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: And I feel the Broncos, he's going into it.
• 35:50
  Speaker 11: Not that guy.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: And Mahomes and Herbert never won a playoff game. So
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: the Raiders are on the– but we don't get no credit.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: No credit. We're always a laughing stock. But I think
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: we're making good moves.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: That's because you've been a trash franchise for, like, the
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: last 40 years.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Kubiak is a great opposite of mine. You should know
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: Kubiak is bad with the Broncos. I think we're moving
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: in the right direction, but we don't.
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: Get no credit.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I feel like we can do something this year, if
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: not next year. But when I call in, I talk
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: about barbecue because the Raiders, we don't really have much
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: to talk about, but I think we're on the up
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: and up. We made a lot of big moves this year.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: I think we're going to be really, really good this year.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike. Well, hey, man, I appreciate you checking in.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And dude, I'll definitely look you up if I'm in
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the area. I love me some barbecue. You know, I'm
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: in the market for anything. Ribs, pulled pork, brisket, love brisket.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: But look, man, I'll say this. It's a blend of
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: two things like Coop's kind of right. And Mike's kind
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: of right where the Raiders have been freaking brutal for
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a long, long time. And that's why they get called out.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: They lose a ton of games. But to Mike's point,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I like their offseason moves. They've made a lot of
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: good offseason moves, and we'll see if they start to
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: put these pieces together and it starts to go in
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: a positive direction with the wins. You've got to have
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the wins to get the respect, and they haven't had
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: nearly enough. Right, Coop? I do like when he's like,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: we got the best center in the league, which they did.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Tyler Linderbaum is a great center. Coop's just laughing. He's like,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot more than that, man.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love when Koops is laughing at
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: silver and black analysis. That's the way it should be.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I do like that he discredited all of your musical opinions, Koops,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: just because you pulled for the Broncos.
• 37:35
  Speaker 8: And then agreed with me.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: That was good.
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Hard 47 out, Lorraine. Hard 47 out. It's right around
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the corner, so we'll get on out of here. Coming

  Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't know. It's that bad. It
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: really is. Now, he starts off well. He starts off well.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Bill Ward, Sabbath drummer, starts off well. The first one's good.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Second one, Coop, not good. I would argue, actually, very bad. Sometimes,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: simplistic works. It doesn't have to be fancy all the time,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: but This time, simplistic did not work. Here we go.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Starts off good, gets bad. Check it out. Good drum fill.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Here's the bad one.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: One.
• 39:34
  Speaker 8: Sounds like I got tired in the middle of it.
• 39:36
  Speaker 11: You're right.
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, right.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: It started off. Yeah, it's like a first drum fill.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: You know, good. The second was like, you know, he
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: needs a nap. That's exactly what it sounded like. Got
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: tuckered out right there, Lorena. Not good. Not good right there. Coop,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: how would you rate that on the scale of drum fills?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: The second one. What do you think about that one
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: right there?
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, it's not great, but it might
• 40:00
  Speaker 8: fit the moment.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Here you go. Let's give it to you again. Come on.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: That's awful. Are you kidding me? That's so bad. It's
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: a great song.
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: Build anticipation.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. There's just some things are just you can't
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: be defended. You know what I mean? That's one of them.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: The drum fill from Iron Maiden. Indefensible. Can't do it.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Coming up next, this is one of the worst sins
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a sports fan can commit.
