  Speaker 2: Chad Brown. Picked up by Chad Brown.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Brought to you by Surfside.

• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It's not a seltzer.
• 0:39

• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Now, let's tackle some football analysis.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: Send out to the Ramos Law Hotline. Car accident, you
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: need Ramos Law. Medical doctor and attorney, RamosLaw.com. We're joined
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: as we are every week by Chad Brown. Chad, what's
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: going on, buddy?
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: Good morning, fellas. How you guys doing?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Good morning. You're so calm and nice all the time.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Why do you have such a soothing voice for a guy?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's dry. You know what? You're just like, you
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: and Carl Mecklenburg are the two nicest, smartest, calm guys
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: off the field. But on the field, you're very animalistic.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you there's a dichotomy there.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: I appreciate you guys noticing that. And that's always been
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: a goal of mine, is to somehow turn into another
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: person when I cross the stripes and onto the football field.
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: And after that, you know, I'm just a normal.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Regular old dude. A normal old dad doing his thing?
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, a regular old dad, a guy living in Cherokee,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: you know, a guy who cooks some good food, enjoys
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: some Surfside seltzers, you know, all the good stuff.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, Chad, you might be calm.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Now, are you calm while watching the Buffs game and
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: what happened in the second half? And where do you
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: think the Buffs and Deion go from here?
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: Well, no. To answer your question, how could anyone be
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: calm in that? And so I've got a unique relationship
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: with football in that, you know, folks, I live here
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: in Denver. I do Denver sports. Bronco conversations and bus conversations,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: whether it's TV or radio. And so folks expect me
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: to be a fan. I have to talk about the football.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: And if it's bad football, that overcomes my fandom because
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: it's bad football. I have to call it out. So
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: while I'm a fan of the Colorado Buffaloes, my job
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: when I'm talking to cameras and microphones is to be
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: a straight shooter about what I'm watching. And when you
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: see someone give up 30 plus points in the second
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: half and they don't score any, That's the definition of
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: bad football. So I've got to call that out. I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: got to, you know, hey, there's something wrong with that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: We shouldn't accept that. And that's what's happening up in Boulder.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Where they go from here, there's an opportunity this week
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: to win a football game. Kansas State comes in with
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: a banged-up quarterback situation. So that's an opportunity for the
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: Buffs to get a win and to at least calm
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: this conversation down for a few minutes. This Buffs football
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: team has yet to play a full football game. a
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: full four quarters. And so this has been an issue
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: now for four years where they can't really put together
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: a complete football game. Last week is what it was.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: Nothing you can do about that now. Now they can
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: try to move forward against a team that comes in
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: essentially limping into this game. And now it's an opportunity
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: for them to at least right the ship in some
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: way and try to prevent the fire under Coach Prime's
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: seat from getting even hotter.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: What needs to happen besides winning for Prime to save
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: his job?
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: It's got to be good football. It doesn't have to be.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: You don't need to turn into the 85 Bears on
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: defense and turn into the Peyton Manning-led Broncos earlier in
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: their tenure when they were the highest-flying NFL offense ever.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: We're not asking or nor expecting that. We just want
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: to see good football. So the good second half against
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Utah turned into a good second half last week. yet
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: you didn't put together a full football game. So how
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: about you just play it consistently? How about you don't
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: have more injuries, not injuries, penalty yards in the first
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: half than you had offensive yards? How about this defense,
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: which has really been the best part of this football team,
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: be able to hold up its end of the bargain?
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: There's just so many simple things that are such low-hanging
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: fruit that if you were able to accomplish that for
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: a full 60 minutes, then you give yourself an opportunity
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: to win. So I would say from a basic standpoint,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Don't be the team with more penalties. Don't be the
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: team with more turnovers. Convert third down and fourth down situations,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: particularly third and short, which has been an issue all year.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: And then defensively, how about you tackle somebody and prevent
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: the explosive plays? You know, that's not a long list.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: I didn't give you a laundry list there. I gave
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: you four things. And if you can do those four things,
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: you give yourself a chance to win rather than you
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: giving yourself a chance to beat yourself, which is what
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: the performance have been over the last five games.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Chad, we had Brian Howell on a couple days ago,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and a couple of things that he brought up really,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I guess, startled me. Number one, this is starting to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: look very similar to the Carl Durrell, you know, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: end of his tenure, right? That's one. You look at
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the numbers and how they're losing and what they're losing
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: by and so on. And number two, that Prime's not
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Fernando Lovo's guy. He's just not, right? I mean, he's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the new AD and so on and so forth. So,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I guess in your opinion, with Deion being as popular
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and famous as he is, is this a real possibility,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: even with the losing?
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: Money dictates college football, and college football has owners. At
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: least the best programs have owners. The guy in Texas
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Tech essentially said, you know, he asked to be called
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: an owner. And so I'm not sure who the owner is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: is of the Buffs program. I know there are some
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: big money boosters who would be needed to really pull
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: the trigger on Coach Prime because of the buyout that
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: he's owed. So I'm not sure what the opinions are
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: of the owners and are they fed up enough to
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: be able to contribute enough money to make this all happen?
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I know Coach Prime's got celebrity and there's obviously some
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: coaching deficiencies that need to be rectified, but how... This
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: all goes down. It really depends on the owners of
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: the CU football program and whether they are willing to
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: cough up the dough. It comes down to as simple
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: of an equation as that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Chad Brown with us.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: All conversations with Chad are brought to you by Surfside,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: 100 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and zero bubbles. It's
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: not a seltzer at Surfside. And, Chad, you're going to
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: be down there in Boulder this weekend with the Surfside folks, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Yes, I will be. I'll be on Ralphie's Row there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: at the Surfside booth. Come by and say hello, please.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: So Chad will be in Boulder. Go say hi to
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: him down there at Ralphie's Row. I do want to
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: ask you about the Broncos. So last week they get
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: this win over the Cardinals. Cardinals might not be a
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: great football team.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: We know that. But there was a distinct change.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: And the comparison I made was when Bo Nix took
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: off and ran for that touchdown against To me, it
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: felt like when Forrest Gump broke the braces off his
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: legs and it just opened him up to new things.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Do you think that maybe just a single play like
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: that can change a player's confidence?
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: I believe it can, but I also think there's a
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: risk from a coaching and a fan base perspective to
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: look at what happened against a Cardinals defense that clearly
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: left a lot to be desired, whether we're talking about
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: that Bo Nix run, or the 52-yard pass to dump
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: down to R.J. Harvey, that tackling and pursuit angles and
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: field recognition wasn't really high on their skill level. So
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: do you take the Buffs-Weber State game and apply that
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: to the entire season?
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Do you take this Broncos win against the Cardinals and
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: apply it to the rest of the regular season? I
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: think that would be naive in both cases. At least
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: for the Buffs, that certainly proved to be naive. We'll
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: see about the Broncos. Obviously, the Chiefs are going to
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: be a more formidable opponent than the Cardinals were. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: to take the positives from the Cardinals' performance and move
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: forward to the Chiefs, I think that's doable. Take the
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: positives and be able to put those into action. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: to expect from a fan perspective or a coach perspective,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: this is what we can do against everybody. I think
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: that would be, again, that would be naive thinking if
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: you did that, if you applied that performance and said, yeah,
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: we can do this against everybody.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Hey, Chad, as a former linebacker yourself, how would you
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: describe Alex Singleton's season? He had 19 tackles last week,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and I know he catches a ton of heat sometimes
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: in coverage, but what kind of linebacker is he in
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: your eyes?
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: He's efficient, and there's a lot to be said for that.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: When you've got the amount of great teammates he has
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: surrounding him, then you need to be efficient. He doesn't
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: have to be spectacular offensively. He just needs to be
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: able to make the tackles that are funneled to him.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: And as an inside linebacker in this style of defense,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: that's your job. I played inside linebacker in a 3-4
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: style defense. I've played the dime linebacker on third down.
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: Your job is when things are funneled to you is
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: to make the tackle. And so those 19 tackles, they
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: speak to the style of defense. They speak to the
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: Broncos' skill sets at other positions. And then they also
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: speak to his efficiency, his ability to be a tackling
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: machine That's one of the most fundamental skills in all
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: of football. You know, you see the guy with the football,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: can you bring him down? And Alex Singleton does that. Yes,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: we can quibble about coverage skill set. And sometimes he
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: does get targeted by the other offensive put into a
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: situation where there's a mismatch with him with a tight
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: end or a running back. But at his main job,
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: his tackling job, he's one of the most efficient tacklers
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: in all the NFL.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: All right, so there's my follow-up. I'm sorry, Moj. That's okay.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Because we saw in week one that tackling as a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: team was horrid. It looked like an outlier. Is that
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Kenneth Walker, or was that just a bad day for
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: the Broncos?
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I think it was just a bad day for the Broncos.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: We talked then about how the first couple games of
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: the regular season are an extension of the preseason. And
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: with all the dollars these guys are paid now, everyone's
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: afraid to do a lot of tackling during training camp.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: And we even talked about how we would fix that.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: We would tackle during training camp and get these guys prepared.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: Sean Payton, Vance Joseph chose not to do that. It
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: showed up in week one. And they were able to
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: flip the switch. in week two and become a far
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: more efficient tackling team. I didn't think that was going
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: to be possible for them to improve the performance in
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: such a considerable way in just one week. Tackling really
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: hasn't been an issue for this defense since then. So, yeah,
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Kenneth Walker has a great skill set. He does break tackles.
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: But that was more so on the Broncos' defense than
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: it was on just the pure skill of Kenneth Walker.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: Mr.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Brown, last one from me. We saw Zach Allen did
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: not practice yesterday. questionable for Sunday, and I hope that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he's in there. That being said, could you explain to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: all the neophytes, including myself out there, what a line
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: wrecker in the middle like Zach Allen can be, what
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that does for an entire defense, especially guys who are
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: on that D-line to free up?
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Zach Allen played in Arizona as a Cardinal next to J.J. Watt,
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: and I called some of those games when J.J. Watt
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: was still J.J. Watt, and Zach Allen was the guy
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: who came in and subbed J.J. Watt when he got tired.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: But he modeled his game after J.J. Watt, and so J.J. Watt,
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: multiple-time defensive player of the year, there's a certain skill
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: set that J.J. Watt brought that made his coaches comfortable
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: to allow him to take chances, to slip behind blocks,
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: to jump over a block, to swim over a block,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: to be able to move with some movement in that
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: defensive line spot and really disrupt blocking schemes. So sometimes J.J.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: Watt and sometimes Zach Allen, they do guess wrong, but
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: they guess wrong in such a way that it disrupts
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: the offensive line scheme. Offensive line schemes are very specific.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: You get this guy, I get this guy, and once
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: someone else makes a movement in the middle of the play,
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: it's hard for those offensive linemen to adjust to that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: So Zach Allen brings an incredible skill set, size, power, speed, quickness,
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: pass rush ability, run stuffing ability. But he also brings
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: in that unknown that J.J. Watt brought, where from an
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: offensive line perspective, you're not sure what he's going to do.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: We know what his job is. He's going to have
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: to occupy the B-gap. But is he going to do
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: it from the backside? Is he going to do it
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: from the front side? Is he going to just knock
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: me back? When you've got that kind of skill set
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: and you've been given that kind of green light from
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: the coaches, you are very dangerous to an offense. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: then to your point, that frees up your teammates because
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Because you're so disruptive at the line of scrimmage.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Chad Brown joins us every single Thursday at 8 o'clock. Again,
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: he'll be in Boulder with the Surfside folks on Ralphie's Row.

• 13:23
  Speaker 6: Thanks, guys. Have a good one.

• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Curtis Mayfield is just the best.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: What movie is this from?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Curtis Mayfield is in any movie with a drug
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: scene in it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but what most recent movie over the last 10
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: years was that song featured in?
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: 10 years. I mean, wow, really narrowed that down for me.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you a clue.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, remember that movie the last 10 years with a
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: drug scene?
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you a clue.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: It's a sports movie. This is a sports show. This
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: is a sports movie.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: What?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Sports movie, last 10 years.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: It's a soccer sports movie.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, I haven't seen any of those.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen any soccer movies.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know what you want. Ladybugs. It's a soccer
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: movie about a women's team in England.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I have no clue whatsoever.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: You could give me 10 lifetimes to guess this movie.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I would never guess it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: It features a very, very prominent actress.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Meryl Streep's in goal.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: The name of the title includes a former Premier League
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: and English superstar. Are you going for Bend It Like Beckham?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Ten years? Vic, that came out. It was released in
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: the UK in 2002. Made it to the US in 2003.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus Lord. That's the thing.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: It was like yesterday.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: The only soccer movie I really know is that. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: what's the one with the....
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Invictus was about rugby, right?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was rugby. Yeah. There have been many great
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: soccer movies. The Will Ferrell soccer movie.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You know that movie that we just saw? It stars
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Humphrey Bogart.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: From five years ago?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from five years. Humphrey Bogart has the statue.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Of a bird. Yep, yep, yep. Ed Asner. Okay, right now.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Ed Vigoda was in there.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Ed Vigoda was in it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Right now. You're such a dill hole. Ranking the greatest
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: soccer movies ever.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: All right, well, you do that in your head for
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: a moment because I got to do a keyword. If
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: you want to spend Halloween night watching the Avs, here's
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: your chance to win tickets to Saturday's game against Calgary.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: Your keyword is Harley. Harley in your first and last
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: name to 303-504-0925. Plus, there's free candy around the concourse
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: courtesy of King Soopers. So, again, the keyword for this
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: hour is Harley.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Okay, I've got three of them listed right here.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: What's the one with Sylvester Stallone?
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Victory.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Victory, yeah.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: That's the greatest soccer movie ever made.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: That was pretty good.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: They had to escape a concentration camp.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: They were imprisoned by the Nazis, and Sly Stallone played
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: goalie at 5'7.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: You guys have never seen The Big Green. That's the
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: greatest soccer movie ever made.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Jesus. Or Green Street Hooligans.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Very good soccer movie.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I've got Kicking and Screaming No. 2. Kicking and Screaming
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: is No. 2. That's hilarious, that movie. Very good movie.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: All right. Bend it like Beckham's top five. Good movie.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: It's a love story.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Let's all agree.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: It's a love story. She loved her coach. They fell
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: in love.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Let's all agree.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Young lady loves her coach.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Number one, soccer movies just aren't very good.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's just, it's true.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I just gave you three great classics.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Number two, Vic has no idea how time works.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's a very good soccer movie out of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: UK from the last 10 years.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Vic.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even in high school when that movie came out.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: You understand that?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny. So we're about to enter the
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: locker room last night. And I'm with Noah. Noah Reed,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: our play-by-play guy. And the guy goes, we're both looking
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: at our phones. And the older fella, who's our photographer
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: for one of the stations here, goes, what did you
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: guys do as sports reporters before you had phones? And
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Noah goes, I've never not had a phone. Oh, that's great. Wait,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: how old is Noah?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: How old is Noah?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure. I don't know, but I
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: think he's probably your age. My response was, well, we
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: used to carry a big old vat of Encyclopedia Britannica,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: so when we needed to look something up, we just
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: went right to the shelf.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, that is funny. No, he's got to be younger
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: than me. I mean, I guess since I've had a
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: job in this, I've always had a phone, but Gosh,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: what a hilarious response.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: It hit me. I was like, God, you're right. It's
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: like when my daughter, we went for a walk years ago.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: She was 12 at the time. She goes, Dad. She
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: just got a cell phone. Dad, what kind of iPhone
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: did you have when you were my age? I just
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: looked at her.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I was like.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Brett, have you never lived life without a phone? No,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't really.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I don't think I got a phone until I was
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: like maybe 17. Maybe it was 16 when I started.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: But you're the life you remember. Life as a human. No,
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: I remember.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Popping DVDs in the DVD player, VHSs. I lived in
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: that time. I remember the only computer that I had
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: was the one that was in my school in the library.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: That was the only computer. I mean, I'm not that young.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Moj, do you remember accessing encyclopedias when you needed handy information?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: 100%. We didn't have encyclopedias at my house. It's too
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: fancy for us.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: We have a stack because my dad fell for one
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: of those door-to-door salesmen one day.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: It's because you're stupid.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Hey, Brett, you don't understand. Really? You don't understand. Wait
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: a minute.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: That's the joke that sets you over the edge, is
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: you said we didn't have encyclopedias at my house, and
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: I said, it shows.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: That's the, out of all the things that we've said
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to you- Right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Of it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Brett.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: He said, I'm only mad because I wish I would
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: have thought of it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Brett, like, for example, today, if you want to know
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: where butterflies come from, you just two taps and you're in.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, though.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Can I finish, though?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I would have to go to the shelf under B.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: My buddy Chris Martin, who lived two doors down, they
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: had encyclopedias. So I would just go down to his house,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: and I'd pull the encyclopedias out, and I'd get all
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: over it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Hang on a second.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: At no point in my life have I ever asked
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: the question, where do butterflies come from, Pop Pop?
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And you know why that is, Brett? Do you know
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: why that is?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Because you don't have any intellectual curiosity at all.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: You have no curious nature about you.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: You have no desire to learn.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: That's why you've never been out of this hemisphere. You
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: don't have a desire to learn the world. Moj and
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: I have learned the world.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Hang on a second. What is the answer to the
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: question of where do butterflies come from?
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Those are questions that are common questions for curious people.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Like, are you saying, did God make them?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Or are you saying, like, what... geographic location.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Did they come from?
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: What animal did they evolve from?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Are you interested in the etymology of a butterfly and
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: what genus it comes from? Hey, hey.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I don't need to know the genus of an animal.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: No, never.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Never need to know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me when you're watching TV and you're shuffling
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: through the channels and you get to that channel that's
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: showing the butterfly change, all its shape. Don't tell me
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: you don't stop and watch. Vic. You know you do.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I am on record. I... I fancy myself a little
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: bit of a cinephile.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: No.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: I love movies and I love TV shows. I watch
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of them. I have respect for people who
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: do that really well. The greatest show that's ever been
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: invented in the history of television, I will die on
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: this hill, is Planet Earth or Life.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: The same sort of thing.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: BBC with David Attenborough is pretty damn awesome.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: All I want to know, if somebody knows this, please
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: give me the answer. How do they get the camera
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: footage of these animals?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Years and years of shooting.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I watched a video.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: They zoomed on a frog.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I don't remember what it was. It was a frog
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: that was like this big, and it was hanging off
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: the side of a waterfall. A snake was coming after it.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: And they have tight shot, like it's the size of
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: a leaf. And they catch this frog jumping off the
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: waterfall because it sees the snake.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: To its, you'd think, death. No, he catches himself. But
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: they followed it all the way down. How did they
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: get that footage?
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: And then they went to instant replay and found out
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: that it was out of bounds. Right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Hey, the last thing. How do you categorize
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: all living things from top to bottom? Huh? Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: Great.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: You just don't, like, I don't know about you, but
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'll sit in bed at times and just, I will
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: do a deep dive into the Antikythera mechanism. That kind
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: of thing.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Moj, what's the word for farmer in Latin?
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Your mom.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Close enough.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Let's get going. Let's move along, Sonny.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Let's talk sports. Last night, the Avs beat the Devils,
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: and I didn't watch your broadcast because I was at
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets game, obviously. How many times did you mention
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Amadeus Lombardi, the greatest name of sports?
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting that you say that, Vic, because you
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: know where he's from? No. Newmarket, Ontario, just north of Toronto,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: where your family is. I'll bet.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: I'll bet you there's some relation.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Somewhere down the line. Just like J.J. Moser.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I guarantee. Did you ask him? Why didn't you ask him?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to the devil's room and asking Amadeus.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: But I did say Amadeus, Vic. I couldn't help myself.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Such a great name. I mean, who has the Coyones
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: to name their kid Amadeus?
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Amadeus.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Amadeus. So then I said that last night. I'm like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I've never even known a live human being named Amadeus,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: let alone this cat playing for the New Jersey Devils.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: And I had to look him up. He's from where
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: your family is from, so there's got to be a relation.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: That Woodbridge area.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Just like the Mosier-Tampa kid, there's got to be something
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: because he's from Switzerland, my family's from Switzerland. There's got
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to be something in there way back in the day.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, though.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: For both of these teams last night, I've said those
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: games resembled the teams that you wanted to see. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: think that style of play. For the Avs, Mosier, it was.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Put the puck on net. Get a rebound. Bang something
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: back in.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Like, attack.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Be on the attack.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: It's basically, both teams got their blank together.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: You got your blank together. Hey, man, just get your
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: blank together, right? You've heard that before. I'm sure Troy
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: has said that to you on occasion. Brett, get your
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: blank together. That's exactly what happened. And I look at
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: these goals. Listen, Landy's, Vic, pounding it in right in
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: the crease. Doorstep. Nazem Kadri was right in front of
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the net, draws two guys, finds Kadri. Great play. Now,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Parker Kelly's was a rip job, but he was looking
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: for a trailer. Nate, coast to coast, stuff's at home.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Jaden Schwartz gets a rebound off of Jake Allen, Rams
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, sorry.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you some breaking news here?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: The Bears have made a trade. They've traded two firsts
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: and a fourth to the Titans for?
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Jeffrey Simmons.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Wow. Two firsts. I thought you were going to say
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Taylor for a second there. I was like, what?
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: They don't need another running back? Man.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Two firsts and a fourth for Jeffrey Simmons.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Wow. That's a big price tag.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what he is, though, Vic? He's
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: a line wrecker.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: So, you know, if you get it, if these guys are,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: they don't grow on trees. By the way, Malcolm Roach
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: is playing great, too. But these are line wreckers. And
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: so if you get yourself a line wrecker, the Bears
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: are going.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: For it, bro.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: That's going to, now we're going to have an arms
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: race in the NFC North. Arms race.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: You know what, Moj, you said this to Schefter a
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: couple days ago, that the NFL doesn't really do big moves.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Big moves being made.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty big move. That is a pretty big move.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: You dish out two firsts for anybody in this league.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: That is a holy bleep type of, like, push your
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: chips to the middle of the table thing.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Look, the Bears should. They're good. They're good.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: They are good. I mean, this guy, I mean, he's
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a big old stud in the middle.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: That's what he is.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: And when you get one, man, they can be absolutely invaluable.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: By the way, with a couple minutes, can I give
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: you my Nuggets observation from last night?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: There's something I've noticed now for like a year and
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: a half.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Um.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Nikola Jokic.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: There's a certain statistical category that I think shows whether
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: the Nuggets play good basketball or not on a given night.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And it has to do with him specifically.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: You know what that is? Three point shots attempted.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Exactly right. When he.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Look at his numbers for the first three games. He
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: took like 10, 7, and 6 in the first three.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: You know how many he took last night, Moshe?
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Zero.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: That's when the nuggets are operating right.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: It feels like when Jokic is taking a bunch of threes,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: he can shoot one or two. And if he knocks
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: those down, it keeps the defense honest with him, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing. But when he takes
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: seven threes, Vic, the translation is he's like, our team
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: doesn't have it tonight.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I got to start doing some stuff.
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Or I need to do stuff that's sort of outside
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: my comfort zone.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: And that's not good for anybody because that's not his game.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: His game is he lives in the middle. And what
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: he did last night was perfect, typical Jokic. I get
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: to about 5 to 10 feet from the rim, hit
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: some baby hooks, some floaters, and that's my game.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, the Nuggets found something last night. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: injecting Trevin Brazile into the starting lineup, it gives them
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: just another tree back there that can deal– with people
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: who drive the lane. So their forte is not guarding
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: on the perimeter. We know that that's a soft area
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: for them, right? They're just not very good at that.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: And what happens then is when a guard breaks down
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: the perimeter, it results in a lot of layups. Joker's
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: not exactly a shot blocker, not his forte. So a line,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: a shot blocker back there with him, and Brazil played
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: that role and played it well. They also went to
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Marvin Bagley and Joker. They played a few minutes together
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: last night. I like it. I like it a lot.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: I think it gave the Nuggets a completely different look
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: on the defensive end. Him?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Like, he needs to have.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: He needs to have a henchman on defense. Like, Jokic
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: needs that.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: No, it hurts your offense a little bit, all right?
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Because your offense is designed differently, and now you have
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: an extra big. But I will take a less efficient offense...
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: for a more efficient defense.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: They had the best offense in the league last year,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: and they got bounced in the first round.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: They won a championship for a team that couldn't shoot
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: a three.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: The Nuggets led from start to finish last night. That
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: was a wire-to-wire win, and they led by as many
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: as 22. The league got chopped down to five at
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: one point, but to be honest with you, I was
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: never really worried. I wasn't, because they just controlled the game.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: And they controlled it on the defensive end. When the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Nuggets are able to do that, Don't worry about buckets.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: They'll get buckets. They'll come, especially in crunch time. This
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: is a good win. Yep.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: So both teams, the double dipperoo yesterday turns into the
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: double win. It's Bryce Young and Jordan Love tonight at Lambeau,

• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I was switching the sound back and forth.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Because I asked Riker, I said, who's the
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: most famous Amadeus? He goes, the guy from the song.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And I go, no. Because we were singing, Johnny and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I were singing it up in the booth. Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So I go, a guy named Mozart, you ever heard
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: of him? He goes, yeah, but I thought he was
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: just like one name, like Madonna.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Like Beethoven, one name.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, but it's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, right?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: I actually love.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: That Riker's just like, yeah, it was dude from.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: The Sun. I mean, you and Johnny, they make me
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: laugh every game. I hope that it comes through. And

• 31:36

• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Just embrace it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: I love it. Oh, by the way, next.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Oh!
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing to do with all that.

• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Moshe.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: You like to start this?
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah. It's coming to an end. And we knew
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: that it was going to at some point, but Ernie Johnson...
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: has now made it official that he's done with Inside
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the NBA after 37 years after this season.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Which means Charles Barkley, Vic, is going to follow him
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: probably the first of the year and make his announcement
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: as well. But that show is gone. That show is over.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: And the fact that it went to ESPN and it's
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: not nearly the same as it used to be, they'll
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: find another show to fill that spot. But I would
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: reckon that that program, That program is maybe the best
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: or certainly one of the top three best sports programs
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: in the history of television.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know many things. I do know this
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: to be certain, though. In the history of sports television,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: the greatest host I've ever seen is Ernie Johnson.
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: The greatest. He's the standard of our business. And hosting
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: is a tricky thing because... You have to understand how
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to utilize the other people on the set. You have
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: to play sort of a point guard role, and nobody's
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: better than Ernie. Ernie is... Unbelievable. That show now, guys,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: can we say it's done? It's neutered. You don't have
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: to worry. It's over. Yeah, it's done.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Barkley's going to leave. It's going to absolutely change.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, ESPN killed it. Thanks. Thanks a lot for that.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Appreciate it. I mean, I don't know if ESPN killed it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: I think TNT killed it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, TNT killed it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: TNT sold it off. Don't blame ESPN for that. That's
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: on TNT.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: I blame ESPN for not just having them on like
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: they should have been every single week.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Remember, they went like two months without doing a show
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: last year. Like, do the show.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: If you're going to acquire the show, then do the show.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Anyway, yeah, he said it was, you know, he's had
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: some heart troubles, but that's not why he was stepping down.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Do you realize, you know how old Ernie Johnson is, Vic?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: He's 70? He's 70.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. 70.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: And, you know, all of his health battles and all
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the cancer that he's beaten over the years, the guy's
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: a total stud.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: So who do you think's older, Mike Breen or Ernie Johnson?
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Breen's really good, too, though.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but who do you think's older?
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Breen.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Breen's 65. Okay. So what's up? Oh, by the way,
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I got one for you. Oh, by the way, more
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: injuries in the NBA. One after another. They just keep coming.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: As of yesterday, get this, 79 players were listed with
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: an injury or an illness in the NBA. Approximately 15%
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: of the league.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Guys.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: We're less than a month in. 15% of the league
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: is out with some sort of ailment already.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Goodness gracious. How do you compare that to other years?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Does it have that? What is it usually at right now?
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I asked some of the coaches yesterday,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: and they said this is nuts. Well, it feels that way.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: It's absolutely nuts. And I don't know if it's because
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: they're being more cautious or I don't know if it's
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: because the off-seasons, they don't have enough activity and they're
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: just getting into the games. I don't know if the
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: pre-seasons are too short. I don't know what it is.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: But to have that many people on your injury list
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: this early in the year, that's crazy.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, can I tell you guys a
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: little story about a man by the name of T.J. Finley?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: T.J.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Finley back in.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: T.J.
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Finley back in 2019 was the number one quarterback prospect...
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Out of the state of Louisiana. Very, very good high
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: school football recruiting ground.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: He got offers from Oregon, from Alabama, from Auburn, but
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: he took.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: LSU, right?
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: LSU.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: So he got there in December of 2019. He ended
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: up transferring. May of 2021, he transferred to Auburn. After
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: going there for a couple of years, he transferred in
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: May of 2023 to Texas State. Six months later, he
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: transferred to Western Kentucky. A year later, he transferred to Tulane.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Six months later, he transferred to Georgia State.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: My head hurts. My head's hurting.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: And six months after that, he transferred to Incarnate Word,
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: where he played his final season of college football.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: But that is in total.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: LSU all the way to Incarnate Word.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: In total.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: He played at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: schools is what he transferred to. He then, 10 days ago,
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: signed a contract with the Nashville Cats of the Arena
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Football League. Only to, 9 days later, sign a contract
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: with the Dallas Renegades of the UFL. So since, just
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: checking the till here, since 2024... He has committed or
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: signed contracts with Western Kentucky, Tulane, Georgia State, Incarnate Word,
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Nashville Cats, and Dallas Renegades.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of moving trucks.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of moving trucks, no doubt about it. Oh,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: by the way, Vic, I'm sure you know about this
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: because you're plugged in at Notre Dame. But you know
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: what's happening in Rome here in just a little bit? Rome, Italy.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: What is happening in Rome?
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame basketball is playing Villanova basketball.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: I was unaware of that.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Okay. It's called the Eternal City Tip-Off between fellow Catholic
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: universities in Villanova and Notre Dame. And they're doing it
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: because the Pope, American Pope, went to Villanova. And so
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: there's word. And by the way, Bill Rafferty.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: So he wants to see some college ball? That's awesome.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Rafferty's like, I'm not sure I can say onions
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: if the Pope's around.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: He could say Cole Jones. He could.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: But do you think the Pope will go? Seriously, do
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: you think the Pope will go?
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I don't see why not, dude. He's a sports fan.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: He loves sports.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: When have you ever seen a Pope at a sporting event?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they went to a soccer game.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Lance.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: The Nashville Cats that DJ Finley signed with? That's Chuck
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: McDowell's team.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I told you that the other day. Wait, wait, wait.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: He signed with Chuck McDowell's team for nine days.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that Chuck still owns that team. I
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm not sure Chuck still owns the team.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I think he used to own them, but maybe he
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: still does.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But it was, yes, it was his team.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: It was Chuck McDowell.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I don't like lawyers. I ain't a lawyer.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Hang on a second.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: I got some bad news about a legal dispute from
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: the Nashville Cats that involves our boy Chuck McDowell.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Well, he ain't a.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Lawyer.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I ain't a lawyer.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: A lawsuit was filed against him alleging he failed to
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: make a $ 1 million payment.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: For that Nashville Cats team. Maybe that's why he doesn't
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: own them anymore. But anyway.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, yesterday afternoon, in an effort to
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: be healthy, I drank two full bottles of this water.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: Two of these. I don't know how much is in one.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: of these. What is this? 50 fluid ounces. 50.7 fluid ounces.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: You've got to say it like the great Ezio Lombardi
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: would say it. I don't even know what that means.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what this is. What is it?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what this is.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: What is it? Went to the bathroom four and a
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: half times during the game. That's what it equals.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Would you guys like to hear a piece of audio?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: So you're all by the way, is you whizzing?
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very cool.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to do the math. That's what two
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: of these, that would be a hundred fluid ounces. That's
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: what it equals. Well, you said you went to the
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: bathroom four and a half times.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Dare I ask what the half time was?
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Didn't get there in time. All right, let me give
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: you a piece of audio. This is from, I love
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: how Nelly has this on the board. It says, future
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: CU head coach Jason Eck. This is how he did
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: an injury report for his team.
• 40:30
  Speaker 7: Like in Madden football, you know, you have like, a
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: guy gets injured on Madden, you got to make a substitution.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: And it comes up on the screen like, you know,
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: your starter's usually like a 90 and your backup's an 80.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: But because of the injury, the 90 guy is down
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: to 78. So then you still keep the guy in
• 40:48
  Speaker 7: the backups a little better than the guy without practice
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: and there's an injury, so you go with that. So
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: that was kind of the thought process. It didn't pop
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: up on the screen, but that was the same thought process.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: And then, Coach, on Saturday... Have you.
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: Ever played Madden before? I don't have a console. You
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: have no idea what I'm talking about. All the kids
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: will know exactly what I'm talking about on that.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: From now on, that's how we're going to do injury
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: reports on this show.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, you know who this Jason
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Eck is? I looked him up a little bit. He's
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: 49 years old. You know who he reminds me of entirely?
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Mike Leach.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Mike Leach! Yeah. Not only does he look like Mike Leach,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: but he talks like Mike Leach. Mike Leach talking about Ralphie,
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: the buffalo.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: One of the greatest things of all time.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: Is this one of those conspiracies, like maybe, like... Conspiracies
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: about celebrities. They faked their own death and came back
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: as somebody else.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you're telling me Mike Leach got a... Well, no,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: he passed away, but.
• 41:44
