  Speaker 2: Area in San Francisco. We are so excited to be
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: here and it's nice. They actually cleaned up some of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the some of the filth for the media. So with
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the they did, actually I'm not making that. So with
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl coming up, it was a big galla
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: award night.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Now I'm not an award shows guy, I'm not. I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: don't know if you do. You like award show you

• 5:32
  Speaker 2: know why. I don't know why I enjoyed the Bennies.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just a fan of the Beny. So anyway, they
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: handed out the biggest prize for an individual player in
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the in the NFL. You saw you heard by now no,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: maybe not? Okay, Well, the envelope is in. So it
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was a two horse race. You had Drake May of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the Patriots, who's going to play.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: One more game? And then you had Matthew Stafford or
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the l A a rims and.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: The vote is in and the winner and the twenty
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: twenty five MVP handed out here in February of twenty
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: twenty six, Matthew Stafford edging out Drake May, and he
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: is your NFL Most Valuable Player in the closest race
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: in over twenty years.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You gotta go back to twenty three.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: When Peyton Manning and the late Steve McNair shared the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: MVP award and I was don't tell anybody. I was
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: here at Fox Sports Radio when that happened, and people
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: were freaking out, losing their mind.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I can't believe it's not right. Blah blah blah. How
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: close was it? Thanks for asking.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford received twenty four of the fifty first place votes,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: twenty four of the fifty, while Drake May got twenty three.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So one freaking vote, one vote, that's it. That's all
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that separated the winner and the loser. And that is
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. A lot of my friends
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: in the Commonwealth are up in arms. I'm getting messaged, no,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: you're a ram Homer and you're just gonna say you're
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: gonna celebrate Stafford and shouldn't have wanted to shut up,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: all right, So let us discuss the question did the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: voters get it right? Giving Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: edge over the Patriots Drake May by one vote for
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the MVP. So my observations on this, I've got Churchill Downs, Hamburger, Helper,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and sour dough and we will combine all of these
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: things together and we are going to play Connect three
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: is what we're going to play.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I know you're excited to play Connect three and not
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Connect four. Connect three. We didn't do four things were
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: don't need to connect three.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So number to answer the question did the voters get
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it right? You can't see me. I'm in a remote studio.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: There's no cameras. I'm doing radio the way radio used
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: to be done. I'm nodding my head. Yes, okay, I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: nodding my head.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Despite all of the bluster, and at the bluster it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: was closed.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I understand that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: But when you take a step back and you look
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: down from thirty thousand feet in the sky, you look
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: down at what happened here, or if you want to
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: pretend like this is Churchill Downs, the most iconic racetrack
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: in American horse racing, so this came down to a
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: photo finish, nose on the tape, cloud of dust, replay
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: booth sweating.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Oh the drama.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: However, when you zoom in, they got it right. Matthew
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Stafford earned it. And the reason he earned it. I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: know this is hard for some of you to understand.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He ran the gauntlet, the big boy schedule, primetime knife fights. Meanwhile,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Drake May, and it's good the Patriots are in the
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so he benefited from this.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He was eating on the kiddie menu.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford was eating prime rib and succeeding, and then
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: May was He was eating hushpuppies and chicken fingers, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I love hushpuppies and chicken fingers. I'd rather eat that
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: than prime rib. And he had all you can eat
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: cupcakes and he enjoyed them.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Drake May.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford led the NFL in yards, he led the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: NFL in touchdowns, He tied May in interceptions and posted
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a It was like surgical touchdown interception ratio. When you
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: do the math on that, fifteen games with multiple touchdowns
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: for Stafford, nine games with three or more and no mistakes.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And this is not like he just won on a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: heater in a couple of games. This was a controlled
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: burn for Matthew Stafford, Burn Baby burn. And whether you
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: win by one vote, which Stafford did, or seventy five votes,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter. The trophy looks the same and
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And this year the edge goes to Stafford.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: By a whisker buy a hare by one frickin' vote,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: by one vote.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's all now.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Page two here, as we continue the theme of the hour,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: a question, what does the MVP award? This ENVP award
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the first of the career of Matthew Stafford. What does
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: this do for the resume of the Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So this is obviously a big deal.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: This is a box checking exercise, is what it is.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It's a big box.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I'm talking the kind you get at Costco, like really
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: big Kirkland brand size. It is a booster rocket also
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that is strapped in magic Matthew Stafford. It strapped to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford's resume and launched directly in the bullseyes on Canton, Ohio.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: And one of the great arguments in sports radio died
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: tonight is Matthew Stafford a.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famer.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It's over. You don't have a leg to stand on
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: so much for the Hall of Very Good. You lose
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: take your parting gift, Get out of here. That was
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: yesterday's argument. The argument has now been repossessed. It is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: a very tough day. I'm going to send my friend
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Rob Parker text I love Rob. I saw Rob here
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: at Radio Row. I'm not at radio right now. I'm
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a remote location, but I was there during the day.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: What a nightmare that is. But anyway, I've got Rob Parker,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: one of the all time great Matthew Stafford haters.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I love him to death.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But a tough day for the SHS, the Stafford Hater Society,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and they got to sit this one out, real tough.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You're eating crow.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: There's no ketchup, there's no barbecue sauce. There's not even
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: some honey mustard. You're forced to eat crow with ranch dressing,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: which is the devil's blood.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And you got to eat it ice cold, out of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a paper bag, and you've got to eat it with
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: your hands. I hope you enjoy that. Stafford already had
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl ring, he already had multiple playoff.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Runs in La.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Now you toss an MVP on top, the cherry on top.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That's a combo meal deal. That seals it. It turns
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: what was a borderline conversation into, oh, what part of
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Canton is the bus gonna go into?
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Can we start working on it right now?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And then you've got Sean McVay who enters the chat
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: and McVeigh is the hamburger helper.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I guess in this case, the quarterback helper. We just
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: add water.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: In this case, all Stafford needed was ram horns on
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: his helmet and presto. Matthew Stafford is a Hall of Famer. Meanwhile,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's a tough, tough one for the Lions, right oof.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You know, all you geniuses from Michigan told me when
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: this trade happened a couple years back. We were on
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: these microphones. He said, listen, this is a bad trade
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: for the Rams. Stafford's a loser. And the Lions got
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: all these shiny draft picks and.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: We and they got Chared Goff. Oh my god, it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: so sexy. They're so happy.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And this is a body blow, body blow for the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Detroit Lions. They traded Stafford for Jared E. F and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: golf and what amounts to a couple of gift cards
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and some pizza. That's what they got, and some store credit.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I think they got some store credit on that as well.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: But five years with the Rams. Now for Matthew Stafford,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: in that five years, he's one of the Most Valuable
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Player Award.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Has Jereed Goff done that? I'm asking for a friend. No,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he had, Okay, he hasn't. Super Bowl. Has Jared Goff
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: done that? I guess he hasn't.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, a trip to the Final four. Cough did do that,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But Stafford did it as well. And he's won over
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: sixty percent.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Of his start.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So it's not narrative. It's you know, that's malor math,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: that's the numbers. It's an emotional truth bomb. Stafford, he
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: didn't change. It's just the uniform, the coaching, better coaching, you.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Say, the better players. But he had Calvin.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Johnson, Megatron, total stud with the Lions as his guys. Well, yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: with the Rams, he had Cooper Cup when Cooper Cup
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: was good. He's not really good anymore with the Seattle.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But Cooper Cup and now Pooka Nakua and Devontae.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Adams and those guys. All right, now, final point. We
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: spend a lot of time, very valuable, I'm told, very
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: valuable talk radio time, discussing over the last couple weeks
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick and he was denied. We learned this week
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that Robert Kraft did not get in.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So who got in? Well, we now know the gold
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Jacket club.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: If you have not heard yet, the class of twenty
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: twenty six, and they will be played. There'll be a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame weekend with a terrible exhibition football game
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that no one wants to watch, and then there'll be
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the awards ceremony where these guys get in. It's like
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a living funeral, right, you know, you give uluji's about
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: how great everyone is, but you're still alive.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: You're not dead.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: So Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald are the headliners on
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six Pro Football Hall of Fame Class
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: five players, but not Bill Belichick.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Now there's a patriot that got in. Now.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Breeze and Fitzgerald both made it their first time on
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the ballot. They were in first time eligible. The result
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: announced that that Fugacia Award show here in the Bay
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Area where they do it for the Super Bowl. So
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: you had that and the other guys making it. You
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: had Luke Keighley the linebacker, he made it. Adam Vinnittery
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is the Patriot. Adam Vinitari the clutch kicker, and he's in.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: He's he was eligible his second season. Both those guys,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Luke Kickley or rather in Adam Nitary second year of eligibility.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And then you have the one that is the the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: polarizing name is Roger Craig. That was the loan pick
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: from the the Geezer Department of Coaches and contributors and
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: senior members. And that is where there's good talk radio.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It's about the former Niners running back. So the question
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: for the esteem panel, how do you classify former forty
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: nine er running back Roger Craig.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Make the Hall of Fame?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: And this one when I saw this, and I was
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: not watching the award show because I really don't like
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: award shows.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. It's not stick. That's not
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: my thing. Now.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: If I win an award, I guess I'd be into it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But I don't win any of these things. I'm not
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: invited to those things. So this one makes my eye twitch.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick denied, and Roger Craig is in the Hall
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of Fame.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Now I'm getting old.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I saw Roger Craig play, and he was a very
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: good player for the forty nine ers. However, he was
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: like at his peak, he was the third best player
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: on those Niners teams.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: My word for this is generous, is my word. It
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: gives me the.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Feeling like the velvet rope got moved again because the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: party came to town. Here it's San Francisco's hosting the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I know it's in Santa Clara. They're hosting
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the game. Confetti in the air everywhere, and abra cadabra.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The bar for the Hall of.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Fame in this case, when it came to Roger Craig
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: softer than sour dough in foggy Fisherman's Wharf.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: In the morning, it's bad. I mean, this was a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I believe I saw the.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Number thirty three years after his career ended, Roger Craig,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: and I think I saw the numbers like twenty eight
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: years of eligibility or twenty eight years of voting, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: this is the time he gets in. For over a generation,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: these nincome poops who vote for the Hall of Fame.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame voters all said the same thing
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: for twenty I guess twenty seven years they said, nice player,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: not in this room, wrong room. And then suddenly it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: limbo night at a beach bar.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Let's do the limbo. How low can you go? How
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: low can you go?
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: In his resume again, it's good he was a good player,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and say he was not a good player.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: It just wasn't great. You think like Shady McCoy, Ricky Waters.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I know our friend from the Autobon Audubon pushes, you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: he used to call me Ricky Waters. So this helps
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Ricky Waters because if you look at the comps for
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Roger Craig, I know these are different generations, but Shady McCoy,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Ricky Waters, and Matt Forte of the Bears, those are
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the guys I know, you Feeme, He's like, oh yeah,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Matt Forte, those are the guys that have similar numbers
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to Roger Craig.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: The numbers don't scream Hall of Fame. You know, it's
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: another one.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: He's naven a good player, but not Hall of Famer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I think he had a little over eight thousand yards rushing.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't compare to the heavyweights of his era. That
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and he played in an era where the running back
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: at that time, this so long ago, is back in
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the Bronze Age, that the running back for many teams
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: was more important than the quarterback. And now with the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties you had the great running backs.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Of that era.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: And you know, in the nineties he had Emitt Smith.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: And then after that it kind of faded away as
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: we got to the late nineties and it's you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: in thirty years and it's all it's all quarterbacks all
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And the other thing.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And I know this is more a me problem than
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: a U problem. And I'm certainly not a Niner fan.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I grew up a Rams fan. But a lot of
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: people trying to airbrush history here. One of my memories,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and I think I have this right, was the nineteen
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: ninety NFC Title Game, if I believe it was the
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: title game. And one of my big memories of Roger
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Craig watching football when I was younger was a gigantic
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: fumble in the NFC Title Game butterfingers that set the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: New York Giants with Bill bar Sales the Big Tuna
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: up for a win.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: So who Goofed? I've got to know?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: And so there you go, and I still remember after
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: all these all these years. So hey, but he's a
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer now, so who cares what I think?
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Roger craig in and Bill Belichick not so. I guess
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: all you have to do is wait twenty eight years
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: thirty three years after you play, and you're good to go.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: You're good to go on that. It is the Ban
• 19:58

• 24:11
  Speaker 2: experience with you because I've been hanging out here in
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the last couple of days, kind of crashing. I'm like
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: an interloper, you know, the cool kids they fly to
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: the Bay Area and hang out, so but I'm I
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't really invited by I have some family lives here,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: so we came in and we're hanging out and I was
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: able to crash some of the parties, which was.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Which was kind of cool, kind of cool.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: And I've been here a few times over the years
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: and it's has not been the cleanest of environments in
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: San Francisco. It's got a well earned reputation in recent
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: years of unfortunately going downhill. It was really funny though,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: because I was walking around the hall, the convention hall
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: where they have the radio row and there's the NFL
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: experience and all this stuff. So it's a massive building.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: That's where they had the PROB in the basement, in
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the basement of this building, right, So that was it
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: was interesting. But I was walking around and this guy
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: who's he was wearing a Niner thing, so I guess
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: he must live here.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming. I don't think it came from somewhere else.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And he was walking his kid across the street, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: his kid's probably like seven or eight, and you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: his a dad, and he I'm eavesdropping. I didn't say anything,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: and they're crossing. I'm going the other direction, and the
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: kid tells his son, who was like again like seven
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: or eight.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: See's son, there's no tweakers. They got rid of them.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: That's the funny. That's great.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the area around here they did, for some
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: reason clean up. And I may or may not have
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: spoken to someone that works for the local police department
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: who told me they gave the NFL. I forget what
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the event was, but there was an event here where
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: a bunch of world leaders came to San Francisco and
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: like the like the president of China, all these big shots, right,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: these big moguls came here and and uh, I believe
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: the uh, it was the cleanest city in America that weekend. Right,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: there's a total amazingly clean. So they kind of cleaned up.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And I don't think the whole place is like this.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I think just the area where the events are, that's
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that's where it's at. So that's some of the experience.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: It was nice and it's beautiful. If they could clean
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: it up, i'd be I mean, who wouldn't want to
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: be here. It's an amazing place.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phone. Let's say hello to We have.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: A man cashing a golden ticket and we say hello,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Now a man that became a legend in the mallad
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: militia when his wife was in the hospital.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: And what did this guy do? Uh? This guy had
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: put his.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Wife on the phone, called into the show while his
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: wife was in the hospital bed.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: We welcome in from Tucson, Arizona.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: We say hello to the man, the myth, the legend,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Mike in Tucson, Hello, Mike.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Hey. Then, first off, I want to thank you about
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: Dodo Wifes putting me on. So I we're going to
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: construct this site. And I'll tell you the porta potties
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: are so bad. When you have to go number two,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: you run and there's no toilet paper. It is the
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: scariest thing. You have to surrender your underwear. So now
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: I do whites for me every time, but my wife says,
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: I have to buy white bees for the baby and
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: not for you.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: But just your wife.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Your wife should understand like, yeah, porta potties in general
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: are disgusting, but yeah, I mean you don't have a
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: lot of options. Uh, you know they have the worst.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Why didn't they even make that cheap toilet paper? I
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: don't even know who does Anybody like it is. I've
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: never met anyone my entire life that likes it. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: don't understand.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: And if not, just it is that. But there's never
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: none of it. They like they spin it and waste it,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: so there's never no toilet paper. When I sat down,
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I had to run to the bathroom. I had no
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I was so scared, like to surrender my underwear. But
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: every since Wies, I take them to the bathroom every time,
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: and I feel real clean. It's a different thing.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta argue.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I was talking to somebody today about this, Like, if
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: all the advertisers that we've had on the overnight, I
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: would put dude Wipes right up there with that cougar
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: dating website that we had years ago.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Like twenty years ago. There was you know, the cougars
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: are coming.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: The cougars are coming right on that same level of impactful.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Not that all all sponsors are great, but just a
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: different kind of level of impact that resonates with every man,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: woman and child.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Dude wipes absolutely clean.
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: But ben I called that about Max Crosby. Paul Tower

• 28:38
  Speaker 6: you know, draft picks tole me knocking to us worthy.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: There's suspects. I feel like it's a whole cool Max
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: trade all over again.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you would much rather have Max Crosby than
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: what you're gonna get for Max Crosby. It sounds like
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: you don't want to be there though, if he's not interesting,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: you want to play.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: And he said, I don't know what's going on behind
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the scenes.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: There's all kinds of rumors on the internet about Max
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Crosby and not not sharing the bag of Tom Brady
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and all that, so I'm.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Not sure exactly what's going on. We don't know. We're
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: not inside the building.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: However, Yeah, I would rather have him than whatever picks.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Just like the Khalil Max trip. Every rate fit. Oh
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: my god, the Raiders are set. I had every ring
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: oh their soul. Oh my god. They traded Khalil Mack

  Speaker 1: that work out? Can you let me know? And I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: forget not good man?
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Real quick. I want to ask you, how do you
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: celebrate the Super Bowl? Do you watch it with the
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: big crowd or no?
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: No, Usually I don't. I'm working after the game.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing the overnight shows, so it's a workday for me,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and usually I actually like to be in my own space.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I avoid the whole party.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Thing and all that, and then I am the planning
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: is the food, that's a big part of it. You
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: gotta have the right snacks, and then you got to
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: pace yourself because it's a long game and a halftime
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: takes forever, which is just a nightmare.
• 29:57

  Speaker 2: Well, the decision is in and Matthew Stafford said, I.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Ain't going anywhere.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I am sticking around Matthew Stafford addressing his future as
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: he took home the MVP honors at the Gala NFL
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Awards show. So Stafford will be back in twenty twenty six.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: That is a shocker, considering the fact that we were
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: preparing for Jimmy Garoppolo to be the Rams quarterback this
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: year because it seemed like Stafford was not going to play.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: And Toda, there you go. And that's that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: So you got a bunch of other awards, most of them, eh,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: there you go. Not that I should also point out
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: we mentioned the MVP voting decided by two votes, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the people you should be upset with. There's one group
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: that you should really be upset with. The first place votes.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen got one.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's he was not as good this
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: year as he was last year.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But I okay, Josh Allen's that most valuable?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Fine, some numb nuts voted Justin Herbert of the Chargers
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: with a first place MVP vote.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Justin? Does that person watch football? What do they do?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: He got?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: He got a first place vote for the m v
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: pH who how many? How many bottles of vodka were
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: they in when they put that ballot in?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: That is that is insane to me.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely bonkers that that happened. But somebody voted Justin
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Herbert got a first place vote for the Hall of Fame.
• 34:52

• 35:31
  Speaker 2: share custody of the caller known as Jed who fled.

• 35:39
  Speaker 5: what was taking so long? And I was about to
• 35:42

• 39:28
  Speaker 2: who am I? Game, it's where we pretend to be
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: somebody else. And so there's a chance that if New

  Speaker 2: England were to win this game on Sunday, Milton Williams,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: defensive tackle who won Super Bowl fifty nine last year
• 39:40

• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I was the last player to do it. Who am I?
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: That is the question and what is the answer? And
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: let's see as anyone know. Shanean moyn going with Marshawn
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Lynch as his answer. A guy named Eddie says, it
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: is none other than the.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Hefty lefty who left us way too soon. Jared Lorenzen
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: my favorite quarterback to hefty Lefty. It's a great name.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Steve is going with the legendary and iconic Jay Schrader
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: of the Raiders, the LA Raiders. Oh, he could throw
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the ball. Really, if that's an old name, you're dating
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: yourself with that? Who else do we have page down here?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Mike is I don't know, I don't recognize Mike. Mike's
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: answer is another legend from the Cleveland Browns back in
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: the day, Tim Couch, the Great Tim Couch. All right,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Reveal answers, Reveal answers, the correct answer. The last player
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to win a Super Bowl with two different teams in
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: back to back years none other then a very shady man,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Shady McCall Shady McCoy, who It's kind of like one
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: of those weird things, because yeah, Shady McCoy did win
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: with Kansas City in twenty nineteen and with Tampa Bay
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, but he was like a total bit player.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: He was hardly hardly playing Shady McCoy.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: The others to do it le Garrett Blunt did it,
• 41:18
