- 2:32Speaker 1: It's the Johnson Auto Plaza's cheese to the game, Johnsonado
- 2:35Speaker 1: Plaza experience the power of the Plaza. Would they have
- 2:38Speaker 1: the keys to performance in style with Ram, Jeep, Chevy,
- 2:41Speaker 1: Pwick and GMC in a huge selection of hughest all
- 2:43Speaker 1: in one place, Johnson Auto Clubs.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Here's more, Sir Lombardi and King.
- 2:47Speaker 2: The precise time is seven forty two tonight as the
- 2:51Speaker 2: Nuggets take on the Thunder VIC.
- 2:54Speaker 3: Nuggets are eight and a half point dogs in this game.
- 2:56Speaker 3: That should tell you all you need to know about.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Should they be motivated? Damn right? There should be Shay Gildicks. Alexander,
- 3:03Speaker 3: in case you missed it, is going to play tonight.
- 3:05Speaker 3: He's missed the last couple of weeks with an ab strain.
- 3:09Speaker 3: No longer strained. He's going to be available, will play
- 3:12Speaker 3: for OKC. The Nuggets will be without Peyton Watson and
- 3:15Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon. Here's the simple key. I don't need three keys.
- 3:18Speaker 3: I'll give you one key. Match their physicality from the
- 3:23Speaker 3: get go. They love to get physical with Joker. We've
- 3:26Speaker 3: seen it, We've been there. We've done that. Match their physicality.
- 3:29Speaker 3: In fact, I wouldn't mind if the Nuggets came out
- 3:32Speaker 3: quickly Swing gave them a couple nudgetes to start the game,
- 3:36Speaker 3: if you know what I mean, Match the physicality, don't
- 3:39Speaker 3: let them dictate the game with their early foulling. That's it,
- 3:44Speaker 3: That's all I ask the.
- 3:45Speaker 6: End, Vic, there was a time when I believed in
- 3:48Speaker 6: the Nuggets so strongly, and I knew they would lose
- 3:51Speaker 6: games at times. Don't don't get me wrong, But I
- 3:53Speaker 6: believed in them so strongly that when you cut Fred
- 3:55Speaker 6: to caution me, I made fun of you.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Yea yet that kind of thing, right, yep?
- 4:04Speaker 6: And I'm I've fully come around to following Vic Lombardi
- 4:08Speaker 6: as my pied piper on Nuggets basketball. I mean, going
- 4:12Speaker 6: into tonight, i'd like them to win. I don't think
- 4:14Speaker 6: they're going to. And I think to myself, why why
- 4:18Speaker 6: did that change?
- 4:20Speaker 5: Where's that angst?
- 4:21Speaker 6: That anger that you know what, we're a championship team too,
- 4:24Speaker 6: that edge? Yeah, we're Hey, listen, we're bad, ma'am. And Jamis,
- 4:29Speaker 6: why can't we go into OKAC and win a dang
- 4:31Speaker 6: basketball game?
- 4:32Speaker 5: Why not?
- 4:33Speaker 6: They're not superhuman? They're the defending champs. Hey, we want
- 4:36Speaker 6: a championship just a couple two and a half years ago.
- 4:39Speaker 6: Dot A lot of the same dogs in this team,
- 4:41Speaker 6: including the best player on the planet. Why can't we
- 4:43Speaker 6: go in there and win? That should be the mentality,
- 4:46Speaker 6: But I don't feel like they feel they have that.
- 4:48Speaker 4: VIC help me out.
- 4:50Speaker 3: The Nuggets need a little more swag and they can
- 4:53Speaker 3: get it by winning tonight. They can get it. Ideally,
- 4:57Speaker 3: you'd love to have Peyton Watson in the lineup to
- 4:59Speaker 3: deal with s GA. He's not there, make do.
- 5:02Speaker 4: He's of the game. Powered by Johnson Autoplasa.
- 5:04Speaker 2: You did selection service and incredible savings on Ramjeep, Chevy,
- 5:08Speaker 2: Buick and GMC all at one location. Experience the power
- 5:10Speaker 2: of the plaza at Johnson Autoplaza. I agree with you,
- 5:13Speaker 2: by the way, like match the physicality also a big
- 5:16Speaker 2: thing with OKAC. You can't let their physicality frustrate you either.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you know, to keep it a clear head
- 5:25Speaker 4: throughout the course.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Crying about calls, none of that stuff. If you're gonna
- 5:28Speaker 3: cry about calls early the game's over, just give it
- 5:31Speaker 3: back to him. You know. If they're going I can't
- 5:34Speaker 3: tell you how many times I've seen it. If they're
- 5:36Speaker 3: gonna gang up on Joker and suffocate him and pick
- 5:38Speaker 3: away at him, do the same thing.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Back is al Cruiser gonna play?
- 5:44Speaker 3: I don't know he's got it.
- 5:45Speaker 4: What does he have an ankle?
- 5:46Speaker 5: I think he has an ankle. Yeah, he's got an ankle.
- 5:50Speaker 3: He's not on an injury report right now.
- 5:52Speaker 4: I'm just looking at the preview.
- 5:54Speaker 6: It says Caruso day to day ankle, home ground, day
- 5:56Speaker 6: to day back Bila Williams out with a hammy vic
- 6:00Speaker 6: I've seen the Kola Jokic war. Caruso like a backpack
- 6:06Speaker 6: and no foul called. Yeah, I don't. I I can't
- 6:09Speaker 6: deal with that. I'm sorry lou Dort. Lou Dort doesn't
- 6:12Speaker 6: see the.
- 6:13Speaker 5: Same same crap.
- 6:15Speaker 7: Bright.
- 6:15Speaker 6: It's I mean, it's it's the amount of getting away
- 6:20Speaker 6: with that. Oklahoma City benefits from his It's it's frustrating
- 6:26Speaker 6: to me as a fan.
- 6:27Speaker 3: At the same time, then I want you to Sga
- 6:29Speaker 3: gets calls. We know this, right, it's different. I want
- 6:32Speaker 3: you to duard Sga full court, full court, and I
- 6:36Speaker 3: want you to lean on him full court.
- 6:39Speaker 4: I don't disagree with That's it.
- 6:41Speaker 3: That's it. That's that's my solution.
- 6:43Speaker 4: It's all I got.
- 6:44Speaker 3: I'm not a coach. That's all I got for you.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Full court. Bump them every single time. If it means
- 6:50Speaker 3: Bruce Brown starts the game and and gets six fouls
- 6:53Speaker 3: a half, oh well, next guy, bump them.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Don't want to put him in the bonus right away.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Trim his gauze before we get to Ben is going
- 7:05Speaker 2: to be a thing from now on.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, I.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Wish when you want to get in somebody's bacon, trim
- 7:11Speaker 3: his gauze.
- 7:11Speaker 5: I'm gonna pack him with gauze.
- 7:14Speaker 6: Uh.
- 7:14Speaker 2: We'll talk to Ben de Nucci in ten minutes and
- 7:16Speaker 2: we will get his breakdown of why he thinks that
- 7:19Speaker 2: he said February third that he thought Davis Webb should
- 7:22Speaker 2: be calling place he was in the locker room.
- 7:23Speaker 4: So he'll give us that info in ten minutes.
- 7:26Speaker 2: But I got a question for you guys. I know
- 7:29Speaker 2: you weren't combined dudes, there's things that matter a lot
- 7:36Speaker 2: in the combine process. Forty times can help you draft stock. Also,
- 7:41Speaker 2: remember we were we were obsessed with hand size that
- 7:43Speaker 2: one year because Kenny Pickett had tiny hands. Remember that,
- 7:46Speaker 2: and that's a big deal. So there's a very good
- 7:49Speaker 2: defensive player, one of the top prospects, Ruben Bain junior.
- 7:54Speaker 4: He's out of Miami. He's all done. Yep, you pull
- 7:58Speaker 4: up this photo, Nelly.
- 8:00Speaker 5: He looks like.
- 8:01Speaker 3: He eats footballs for a living.
- 8:03Speaker 2: He has incredibly tiny arms, which is posing a giant
- 8:07Speaker 2: problem for some drafts.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Drafts hands to.
- 8:11Speaker 2: His arms measured at less than thirty one inches, and
- 8:16Speaker 2: they're saying that this is now going to be a
- 8:17Speaker 2: problem of getting off blocks. Now, you watched him play,
- 8:20Speaker 2: he played well, How much does that matter to you?
- 8:22Speaker 4: Because that does look really weird.
- 8:24Speaker 3: I don't care one bit that watched him.
- 8:27Speaker 4: That looks weird. It does tame How how tall is he?
- 8:30Speaker 4: I'm gonna go get one from Jason. You guys talk
- 8:32Speaker 4: how how tall is?
- 8:33Speaker 5: How tall is it? Reuben Binks Jr.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I would say he's got to be at the six
- 8:38Speaker 4: six three six four six three.
- 8:39Speaker 6: Okay, six three a thirty one inch arm, thirty and
- 8:44Speaker 6: seven eighths. We'll call it thirty one. Bick would call
- 8:46Speaker 6: it thirty one. I don't how long.
- 8:52Speaker 3: I've eleven measures from Do you measure from the top
- 8:54Speaker 3: of the shoulder? Do you measure from the armpit is
- 8:57Speaker 3: the measurement taking when you're measuring someone's arm. Hey measu there, Hey,
- 9:01Speaker 3: tailor's we have tailors that listen to the show. Where
- 9:04Speaker 3: do you measure? Where do you begin the measurement for
- 9:06Speaker 3: one's arm length?
- 9:09Speaker 8: Well?
- 9:09Speaker 6: I think you probably started the fingertip and then you go,
- 9:11Speaker 6: you work your way back, it's my guess, and then
- 9:13Speaker 6: you stop it.
- 9:13Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 9:14Speaker 3: Let me ask hold on a second, Okay, I'll get
- 9:18Speaker 3: this done. I can't say yet. He's got all the answers.
- 9:21Speaker 5: To so Vick.
- 9:21Speaker 6: It is from the top of the shoulder, well, that's
- 9:25Speaker 6: for the sleeve down to the.
- 9:26Speaker 3: N Where do you begin the measurement for one's arm?
- 9:32Speaker 3: Right here?
- 9:32Speaker 1: Oh honey.
- 9:33Speaker 8: First off, I ain't no confederate, I'm Aura. But hey,
- 9:37Speaker 8: if you're asking about arm length, you start at the
- 9:40Speaker 8: bony point on your shoulder, the acromian right where the collarbone.
- 9:44Speaker 5: Meets the top right there.
- 9:45Speaker 8: Run the tape straight down the outside of your arm,
- 9:47Speaker 8: past the elbow, all the way to the tip of
- 9:49Speaker 8: your middle finger.
- 9:50Speaker 4: Okay, right, shut up.
- 9:51Speaker 3: If I want to call you confederate, I will.
- 9:53Speaker 4: I'm right here, do me do me start right here?
- 9:56Speaker 5: Go all the way down.
- 9:57Speaker 6: Do me, hold on, hold, I'll hold it. Hang on there,
- 10:01Speaker 6: it's right there, it's right there.
- 10:05Speaker 4: Moser's at thirty one. He's got longer arms in this guy.
- 10:07Speaker 3: Wow, and Bro Moser, you're not gifted in that area.
- 10:11Speaker 4: I'm not six three.
- 10:12Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, my turn.
- 10:15Speaker 4: At the top of the shoulder, guy, Yeah, right top
- 10:18Speaker 4: of the shoulder. That bone park right there.
- 10:20Speaker 3: This is great radio. All right, here we go measuring length. Yeah,
- 10:24Speaker 3: we've reached that point in the off season.
- 10:27Speaker 4: My goodness, thirty three in a quarter.
- 10:29Speaker 2: God, I would I would get off so many of
- 10:31Speaker 2: that's a six three guy right there.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Get him out of here.
- 10:34Speaker 3: You're Max Crosby.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Look at this. Yes, I'm like a blowing seven forty
- 10:39Speaker 4: seven over here.
- 10:39Speaker 5: Oh my god.
- 10:40Speaker 3: You know I don't want to hear any of this crap.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Turn that music off. Everybody shut up for a second.
- 10:45Speaker 3: When Elvis Duomerville came out of the draft from Louisville,
- 10:48Speaker 3: everybody talked about his side getting arms. Dude, either you
- 10:53Speaker 3: get to the quarterback or you don't. Reuben Bain's a baller.
- 10:58Speaker 4: He's a baller.
- 10:59Speaker 2: One thing's been establish. If I stuck with football, I'd
- 11:02Speaker 2: be better than rumored Baine.
- 11:03Speaker 4: Getting out your quarterback? Alright, real quick, Nelly, how told
- 11:06Speaker 4: are you you're five?
- 11:07Speaker 7: What?
- 11:09Speaker 3: Oh you're not five? Nine?
- 11:11Speaker 6: No?
- 11:11Speaker 7: No?
- 11:11Speaker 2: This way like this, then the arm, but there it
- 11:14Speaker 2: is right there, Bella, you're at eight and a half.
- 11:22Speaker 6: Hey, Derrek Bulls is gonna eat you? Hey, Hey, Tarannosaurus
- 11:26Speaker 6: Rex head back over there?
- 11:27Speaker 3: All right, No wonder he plays the sacks. Dude, his
- 11:30Speaker 3: arms can't reach the other instruments.
- 11:32Speaker 4: How do you reach your flute?
- 11:33Speaker 5: Bro?
- 11:33Speaker 4: Can you get it up to your mouth? Trombone would
- 11:37Speaker 4: be a real problem for him.
- 11:39Speaker 6: I can't hit those low notes, man, I can't get
- 11:41Speaker 6: that slide a.
- 11:43Speaker 4: What's the thing called a slot? Can you even get
- 11:46Speaker 4: to that that end point? There's a reason that I
- 11:48Speaker 4: and I don't even play the biggest sack. I play
- 11:50Speaker 4: the second smallest kind of saxophone.
- 11:52Speaker 3: It's very compact and right here along with Sternham.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Hey, one guy knows a little bit about football. I'm
- 11:57Speaker 2: sure he would not be happy seeing this guy rush
- 11:59Speaker 2: after him.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Ben Denucci, Hey, look, I would draft this guy.
- 12:03Speaker 6: I don't care if he's got alligator arms. He's a killer.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Ben Denucci said on February third, Davis web should be
- 12:10Speaker 2: calling plays.
- 12:10Speaker 4: Well, that's happened. Why did he say that we'll get
- 12:12Speaker 4: to it next.
- 12:13Speaker 9: It was something that I kind of knew, you know,
- 12:16Speaker 9: during the year he and I visited on a handful
- 12:19Speaker 9: of occasions. We're talking about Davis Web. He's extremely talented
- 12:23Speaker 9: with regards to play calling. It's something that I think
- 12:26Speaker 9: he'll be really good at it. And I know that's like, man,
- 12:30Speaker 9: are you going to give up play calling? And I
- 12:32Speaker 9: would only do that if I felt like would help
- 12:33Speaker 9: our team. I'll still be involved with what we do offensively,
- 12:38Speaker 9: just like what we do defensively. But I do think
- 12:42Speaker 9: he has a gift. I think he's real sharp. I'm
- 12:45Speaker 9: glad he's on our staff. Typically, any decision we make
- 12:49Speaker 9: like that or is to benefit our team.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Sean Payton a couple of days ago, talking about why
- 12:56Speaker 2: he handed over the play calling reins to one Davis
- 12:59Speaker 2: Webb been this being who joins us on the Almost
- 13:01Speaker 2: Law hot line. He called this on February third, that
- 13:04Speaker 2: this should have happened. It is Ben denutcie. Ben, thank
- 13:06Speaker 2: you for joining us.
- 13:07Speaker 7: What's going on. I appreciate you having me.
- 13:09Speaker 4: I appreciate you joining the show.
- 13:10Speaker 2: And I remember reading that tweet February third, when you
- 13:13Speaker 2: saw that he was hired as the offensive coordinator, you thought, hey,
- 13:17Speaker 2: give him the play sheet.
- 13:18Speaker 7: Why I wasn't looking into it any any more than
- 13:22Speaker 7: the fact that I figured Davis would have the opportunity
- 13:25Speaker 7: to call plays elsewhere, and if he was going to
- 13:27Speaker 7: turn down OC jobs to come back to Denver and
- 13:30Speaker 7: take the OC job, I just I thought there had
- 13:33Speaker 7: to have been some caveat in there to say, hey,
- 13:35Speaker 7: you're going to have a bigger role on what's going
- 13:36Speaker 7: on here and or be able to call the plays
- 13:39Speaker 7: next year. And so obviously a couple of days ago
- 13:41Speaker 7: at the combine, you saw Sean, you know, talking about,
- 13:44Speaker 7: you know, what he thinks of Davis and what he
- 13:45Speaker 7: thinks he's going to bring to the offense. So I'm
- 13:48Speaker 7: just a fan now on the sideline again that's excited
- 13:50Speaker 7: to see what this brown of offense is going to
- 13:51Speaker 7: look like.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Ben, you know as well as all of us that
- 13:54Speaker 3: Sean Payton is very thorough in his coaching. He's very detailed.
- 13:57Speaker 3: He runs the entire organization at times. Do you think
- 13:59Speaker 3: he'll be hands off in this and that Davis web
- 14:01Speaker 3: do his thing?
- 14:02Speaker 7: I have no idea. I mean, this is uh, this
- 14:05Speaker 7: is uncharted waters a little bit for sewn, So it's uh,
- 14:08Speaker 7: I don't know, there's no telling what he's gonna do.
- 14:10Speaker 7: I do know that Shawn's an unbelievable offensive mine still,
- 14:12Speaker 7: so I would imagine he's gonna have his footprints on
- 14:14Speaker 7: this offense one way or another, still in some capacity.
- 14:17Speaker 7: But in terms of calling the plays and what stuff's
- 14:21Speaker 7: going to look like, I think Davis is going to
- 14:22Speaker 7: have a lot more of a role. And I think
- 14:25Speaker 7: you're gonna tell kind of instantly the influences that Davis
- 14:28Speaker 7: has been around in college, in the NFL and and
- 14:31Speaker 7: his coaching the last couple of years. And I think
- 14:32Speaker 7: a lot of people are gonna be excited too with this.
- 14:34Speaker 7: Wronker's offense looks like.
- 14:35Speaker 5: Now, let's be honest, he's lost his fastball, but.
- 14:41Speaker 7: Not fastball too.
- 14:42Speaker 6: Then you're still a young guy, but you've been around
- 14:45Speaker 6: a little bit. I mean, isn't that kind of the
- 14:47Speaker 6: idea though, I mean, when quarterbacks and offensive guys work
- 14:50Speaker 6: closely with past game coordinators ocs, all that kind of thing,
- 14:55Speaker 6: I mean, there's there's a more natural relationship and the
- 14:57Speaker 6: head coach, he's got to worry about a lot more
- 14:59Speaker 6: and Sean in his career and where he is now
- 15:02Speaker 6: in his age and so on. Doesn't this seem like
- 15:04Speaker 6: a natural progression for the Denver Broncos.
- 15:08Speaker 7: I think so. And I think you heard him say
- 15:09Speaker 7: he wants to do what's in best interests for the team.
- 15:13Speaker 7: And I don't think if Seawn thought given up plays
- 15:15Speaker 7: if that, if he didn't think that was going to
- 15:16Speaker 7: make the team better, he wouldn't have done it. So
- 15:18Speaker 7: I think you see the trust that he has in Davis.
- 15:20Speaker 7: Obviously they brought him back for a reason, elevated him
- 15:22Speaker 7: to OC. Davis is really the one that has all
- 15:26Speaker 7: the interactions with the quarterback room from day to day
- 15:28Speaker 7: in terms of installing the stuff. Anyway, Sean's just the
- 15:31Speaker 7: one that would call it in the past. So Davis
- 15:34Speaker 7: he's really been running that room for the last couple
- 15:36Speaker 7: of years, except now he's going to have a chance
- 15:37Speaker 7: to call the shots instead of just being the one
- 15:40Speaker 7: that's kind of delivering the message.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Well, you had two different stints in Denver, both of
- 15:43Speaker 2: them with Davis web being here. What is it about
- 15:46Speaker 2: him that's so dynamic?
- 15:47Speaker 7: I think just as a player. For me, I'm twenty
- 15:50Speaker 7: nine years old, he's thirty one years old. There's no
- 15:52Speaker 7: difference between a player and a coach at that point
- 15:55Speaker 7: when he's in the room, he's been in. Our position
- 15:59Speaker 7: went really quick from playing into coaching. And I think
- 16:03Speaker 7: for myself, for Bo, for Jared Stidham, for anybody else
- 16:05Speaker 7: who's been in that room, having a personality and having
- 16:08Speaker 7: a kind of sounding block that's relatable and been through it,
- 16:12Speaker 7: I think is really refreshing. And so I think you've
- 16:16Speaker 7: seen the play of that room grow the last couple
- 16:18Speaker 7: of years, and I think Davis has been a huge
- 16:19Speaker 7: part of that.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Can you walk us through that crazy week bon Nicks
- 16:24Speaker 3: gets hurt in the divisional game, You're doing television, you're
- 16:28Speaker 3: working for CBS at the time, and you get a
- 16:30Speaker 3: phone call. Did you think this was fake? One went
- 16:32Speaker 3: through your mind when you got that call to join
- 16:34Speaker 3: the Broncos A game. Oh Man.
- 16:36Speaker 7: When I was a rookie and a young guy in
- 16:38Speaker 7: the NFL, I would hear people say all the time, like,
- 16:40Speaker 7: you don't understand how the NFL works until you've been
- 16:42Speaker 7: through it yourself or know someone that's been through it.
- 16:44Speaker 7: And I would just laugh at people like, what the
- 16:46Speaker 7: heck does that mean? And sure as heck. A couple
- 16:48Speaker 7: of weeks ago, I found that out firsthand. I was
- 16:51Speaker 7: basically out for twelve months, had transitioned into to the
- 16:54Speaker 7: media kind of talking Headspace, was working for CBS. Was
- 16:57Speaker 7: in the studio in Stanford, Connecticut on Saturday night when
- 17:01Speaker 7: when they were playing the Bills and saw the injury happen,
- 17:03Speaker 7: and kind of I was like, man, this is I
- 17:06Speaker 7: know how the NFL works enough to know that they're
- 17:08Speaker 7: not just going to go sign some random guy who
- 17:10Speaker 7: doesn't know the offense and try to get them ready
- 17:12Speaker 7: for four days before an AFC Championship, So I figured
- 17:15Speaker 7: there was a possibility. Kind of just texted my agent,
- 17:18Speaker 7: texted Davis after it happened, and then the next morning
- 17:20Speaker 7: Davis called George Payton, the GM called and said, hey,
- 17:24Speaker 7: you know, are you still in town. I made the
- 17:26Speaker 7: fifteen minute drive to work the next morning from Highland's
- 17:29Speaker 7: Ranch to Loan Tree, and then the rest of history
- 17:31Speaker 7: got to join the team that week. He would like
- 17:34Speaker 7: to be a part of an AFC championship and the
- 17:35Speaker 7: other kind of ironic thing about the NFL that was
- 17:38Speaker 7: technically my sixth year in the league. I've never sniffed
- 17:41Speaker 7: that close to the Super Bowl in my life. And
- 17:43Speaker 7: so first couple of years in the NFL on the Cowboys,
- 17:46Speaker 7: we lost in the first round of the playoff. When
- 17:48Speaker 7: I was on the Broncos in twenty twenty three, and
- 17:50Speaker 7: then another year in Dallas, we didn't even make the
- 17:52Speaker 7: We didn't even make the playoffs. So for me to
- 17:54Speaker 7: be out and then thrown back into that environment was
- 17:56Speaker 7: really cool. Let us kind of a fireback under me again,
- 17:59Speaker 7: that hey, this is fun. Let's go help this team,
- 18:01Speaker 7: try to try to get a Super Bowl, try to
- 18:03Speaker 7: win a super Bowl, and whatever happens after this happened,
- 18:05Speaker 7: but it was fun to be back around it for
- 18:06Speaker 7: a couple days.
- 18:07Speaker 3: How did Stiddy carry himself that week? Now that he's
- 18:10Speaker 3: thrust into a starting.
- 18:11Speaker 7: Role, Yeah, I mean the good thing and I think
- 18:14Speaker 7: the cool thing is he didn't change at all. And
- 18:16Speaker 7: I think in a way, the backups almost have to
- 18:19Speaker 7: be more ready than the starters every week in a sense,
- 18:22Speaker 7: if that makes sense. They have to be ready mentally
- 18:25Speaker 7: without getting the physical reps that the ones are are
- 18:28Speaker 7: getting throughout a practice week, throughout the course of the season,
- 18:31Speaker 7: so to get to see him work, to get to
- 18:34Speaker 7: see him operate as the guy and nobody else in
- 18:37Speaker 7: that room. Now, yeah, there's gonna be some nerves. He
- 18:39Speaker 7: was a little anxious. He was asking me at times
- 18:41Speaker 7: during the week, Hey, just make sure I'm calm down
- 18:43Speaker 7: before we go out there for this rep or whatnot?
- 18:46Speaker 7: I mean, shoot, I probably would be too if all
- 18:48Speaker 7: of a sudden, you don't play all year. The first
- 18:50Speaker 7: action since the preseason is the AFC Championship. So it
- 18:53Speaker 7: was fun to be around him. He's a good buddy
- 18:54Speaker 7: of mine. We've kept in touch a lot over the
- 18:57Speaker 7: last couple of years. And be able to help him
- 18:58Speaker 7: and watch him operate and played or in that AFC
- 19:01Speaker 7: Championship was really cool.
- 19:02Speaker 2: What's the cutoff? You said you're out twelve months, then
- 19:05Speaker 2: you got a phone call? Can you be Philip Rivers?
- 19:07Speaker 2: Nobody calls you for five years then you come back?
- 19:09Speaker 4: Would you do that? And shame well?
- 19:11Speaker 7: I was only twenty nine years old and it took
- 19:13Speaker 7: me that long to get a call. He was forty
- 19:14Speaker 7: four and got a call. So I don't know if
- 19:16Speaker 7: that means I should hang it up and never look
- 19:17Speaker 7: at the football again or or keep trying for another
- 19:19Speaker 7: fifteen years.
- 19:20Speaker 6: Yeah, it's fifteen years, dude. We'll have somebody give you
- 19:23Speaker 6: a holler when you're about forty. He let you ramp
- 19:25Speaker 6: up a little bit, hey man. In all honesty, though,
- 19:28Speaker 6: when we look at the Broncos, we talk about the
- 19:30Speaker 6: offense all the time. I just feel like, Ben, they've
- 19:34Speaker 6: got to get they got to get some weapons. You know,
- 19:36Speaker 6: if you can just get a little bit more weaponage
- 19:38Speaker 6: on the offensive side, things is going to be that
- 19:40Speaker 6: much easier. And Peyton even admitted himself, he's like, look
- 19:43Speaker 6: all these one score games they could flip next year.
- 19:46Speaker 6: I don't think you can really go into the season saying, yeah,
- 19:48Speaker 6: it's gonna be the same.
- 19:50Speaker 4: What do you see?
- 19:51Speaker 6: And there's a lot of good players, don't get me wrong,
- 19:52Speaker 6: I would like it just a little bit more star power.
- 19:56Speaker 7: I agree, And I think I think the Broncos are
- 19:59Speaker 7: going to address that, whether it's free agency, whether it's
- 20:01Speaker 7: the draft. There's some uncertainty with Portland Sutton and what
- 20:04Speaker 7: that receiver room is going to look like. They're really young,
- 20:06Speaker 7: They've got some talented guys in Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant,
- 20:09Speaker 7: Marvin Mims, You've seen what he can do on special teams,
- 20:11Speaker 7: But in terms of this kind of game breaking, true
- 20:14Speaker 7: number one receiver, I think that's what Bonnis needs. I
- 20:18Speaker 7: think that's what the Broncos are going to be looking
- 20:19Speaker 7: for in the offseason. A guy that can stretch the
- 20:22Speaker 7: field vertically. There's a couple of guys out there in
- 20:23Speaker 7: free agency and ale of Pierce. They could go trade
- 20:26Speaker 7: for an AJ Brown and really make a splash if
- 20:28Speaker 7: they wanted to. But I mean, you've got another year
- 20:31Speaker 7: of Evan Ingram as well. I think everybody in that
- 20:33Speaker 7: building probably would have liked him to have more production
- 20:35Speaker 7: this year and him be included in the offense more So.
- 20:38Speaker 7: I'll be interested to see if what Davis does, if
- 20:40Speaker 7: he comes in and says, hey, we're going to switch
- 20:42Speaker 7: things up a little bit. I love the guys that
- 20:43Speaker 7: we got on this offense, we just need to find
- 20:45Speaker 7: different ways to use them, or if he's going to say, hey,
- 20:48Speaker 7: I'm gonna go get some different players for what I
- 20:50Speaker 7: want to run and if we're going to see kind
- 20:51Speaker 7: of a personnel shift the next couple months and in
- 20:55Speaker 7: one way or another. But I think I think I agree.
- 20:57Speaker 7: I think everybody's looking for a star power weapon, either
- 20:59Speaker 7: tight end or receiver on the outside.
- 21:02Speaker 6: Yeah, that's gonna be a big question, no doubt about it.
- 21:04Speaker 2: You know you were there in twenty twenty three before
- 21:08Speaker 2: things really started to flip. How do you think this
- 21:11Speaker 2: turned round so quickly from where they were at in
- 21:13Speaker 2: twenty three to get in the AFC Championship game two
- 21:15Speaker 2: years later.
- 21:16Speaker 7: Well, I mean, it's it's easy to say, but I
- 21:19Speaker 7: think you've seen the progression of both the last couple
- 21:21Speaker 7: of years. As a rookie, he was kind of finding
- 21:23Speaker 7: his finding his footing. A really good defense in a
- 21:26Speaker 7: rookie quarterback is sometimes a good combo. You saw what
- 21:28Speaker 7: happened to Washington last year as well, with Jayden Daniels
- 21:31Speaker 7: making all the way to the to the NFC Championship.
- 21:34Speaker 7: I think the combination of defense and both progression this year,
- 21:37Speaker 7: the fourth quarter, second half of games and when games
- 21:39Speaker 7: were on the line, I think he played is good,
- 21:42Speaker 7: if not better than anybody else in the league. Kayleb
- 21:44Speaker 7: Williams is another one same draft class guys that have
- 21:47Speaker 7: really taken the step year one to year two. And
- 21:49Speaker 7: I think his leadership being around him, he wasn't really
- 21:52Speaker 7: in meetings when he was hurt, but he was around
- 21:54Speaker 7: enough that I got to kind of see how he
- 21:56Speaker 7: interacted with guys and what he means to that locker
- 21:59Speaker 7: room in that building, and you can see it. Guys
- 22:01Speaker 7: want to play for him, Guys care about him, Guys
- 22:03Speaker 7: support him, and so I think the step that he's
- 22:05Speaker 7: made from year one to year two, I think you
- 22:08Speaker 7: saw it in leaps and bounds this year on pape
- 22:10Speaker 7: and a result of a wins for the Broncos.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Visiting with Ben Denucci, who was there for the AFC
- 22:14Speaker 3: Championship game, signed by.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Just say It Lombardy.
- 22:19Speaker 3: I'll get to that later. Calm down. I got another
- 22:21Speaker 3: question about that day. Where were you during the exit
- 22:24Speaker 3: during the game, Ben.
- 22:26Speaker 7: I was on the sidelines with six layers on my
- 22:29Speaker 7: lower body and seven layers on my body.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Do you understand I'm boring and raised in this town.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Do you understand how crazy it was to see good
- 22:38Speaker 3: conditions and then all of a sudden a snow squall
- 22:42Speaker 3: come in at the worst possible time to where you
- 22:45Speaker 3: couldn't complete a forward pass. Can you just describe sitting
- 22:49Speaker 3: on the sideline standing there what it was like for
- 22:51Speaker 3: a quarterback in the second half of that game.
- 22:54Speaker 7: What I will tell people is like that first half
- 22:56Speaker 7: was legitimately ideal, perfect conditions, like thirty no wind, the
- 23:01Speaker 7: sun was out, it felt good, it didn't feel cold.
- 23:04Speaker 7: We go in for halftime for ten minutes, and all
- 23:05Speaker 7: of a sudden, I'm when I'm running out of the
- 23:07Speaker 7: locker room, like, imagine you're a kid and you take
- 23:09Speaker 7: a snow globe and you just shake it up and
- 23:11Speaker 7: let everything just fall. That's quite literally exactly what it
- 23:14Speaker 7: looked like out there. And I was like, man, this
- 23:15Speaker 7: is this is crazy. You can't see ten yards in
- 23:18Speaker 7: front of you. It's kind of just swirling in a circle.
- 23:21Speaker 7: And I just, yeah, I felt bad for Stity at
- 23:24Speaker 7: that point, just because I kind of I don't care
- 23:25Speaker 7: if you're Aaron Rodgers, Jared Stidham or Peyton Manning or
- 23:28Speaker 7: Ben Denucci. That's gonna be tough to operate in, tough
- 23:31Speaker 7: to tough to work in, tough to throw in. But
- 23:34Speaker 7: in terms of just experience and getting to be a
- 23:36Speaker 7: part of that, I've never experienced anything like that.
- 23:38Speaker 6: Before I did this first time we talked to you,
- 23:40Speaker 6: Hang on a second, Vick, what's your deal?
- 23:43Speaker 5: You live in Denver.
- 23:44Speaker 4: What's your deal?
- 23:46Speaker 7: What's my deal? What's your guys deal?
- 23:47Speaker 4: Well, we've got great deals, but we're all so you're
- 23:51Speaker 4: a Highland I live in Denver.
- 23:52Speaker 7: I live in Denver in Highlands Ranch. I've been down
- 23:54Speaker 7: here since twenty twenty three. Yeah, I didn't have a
- 23:56Speaker 7: home base after the Cowboys cut me, got out here
- 23:59Speaker 7: and we it and have settled down out here home base.
- 24:02Speaker 6: Why haven't you not come in the studio and shot
- 24:05Speaker 6: the breeze about your spol Was he too busy?
- 24:08Speaker 7: That's weird? Invite must have got lost in.
- 24:09Speaker 5: The mad I don't know, Vig.
- 24:11Speaker 4: What's your problem?
- 24:12Speaker 3: I watched that Bucknell Air Force game because I used
- 24:15Speaker 3: to call air Force and you did a great job.
- 24:16Speaker 3: By the way, is that where you want to go?
- 24:18Speaker 3: What do you want to do long term here?
- 24:20Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 24:20Speaker 7: So I actually signed a two year contract with CBS
- 24:23Speaker 7: Sports ironically the week before the Broncos called me. So
- 24:26Speaker 7: I got put on hold for a week and now
- 24:28Speaker 7: we're kind of back to regular scheduled programming with them.
- 24:31Speaker 7: But the plan is I'm going to be in the
- 24:32Speaker 7: booth for thirteen or fourteen weekends next year calling college
- 24:36Speaker 7: games and see how it goes, I very much enjoyed it. It
- 24:39Speaker 7: reminds me of waking up on game day as a quarterback.
- 24:41Speaker 7: You get the same anxious nerves, except I'm not running
- 24:45Speaker 7: away from three hundred pound lineman. I'm just trying to
- 24:47Speaker 7: make Jimmy and Susie smile on the couch watching at noon,
- 24:50Speaker 7: So it's a little bit different.
- 24:52Speaker 6: Hang on a second. I was getting a cup of
- 24:53Speaker 6: coffee about an hour ago. One of our sales guys
- 24:55Speaker 6: gans goes, Hey, man, dunuc, she's coming on right. I'm like, yeah.
- 24:59Speaker 6: He's like as him about the time he dressed up
- 25:02Speaker 6: for CBS and apparently he was one of the guys
- 25:06Speaker 6: in that that flag football game or whatever that you
- 25:09Speaker 6: threw the ball all over Oh yeah.
- 25:11Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate I appreciate it.
- 25:14Speaker 6: He's like, Uh, this guy comes in, we don't know
- 25:17Speaker 6: who he is, and he's just firing the pig all
- 25:19Speaker 6: over the place. He's you know, he's he's he's drilling us.
- 25:22Speaker 6: And what was that all about?
- 25:25Speaker 3: What league is? I played years of flag football in
- 25:27Speaker 3: this town. What league was that?
- 25:29Speaker 7: That was a Vola Sports Competitive Men's flag football league.
- 25:33Speaker 7: CBS had had set that all up and came to
- 25:36Speaker 7: me about the idea, and I'd seen the Chad Powers
- 25:39Speaker 7: thing that Eli Manny had had done a couple of
- 25:41Speaker 7: years ago, and they kind of wanted to do something similar,
- 25:42Speaker 7: so I was all. I was all for it. I
- 25:45Speaker 7: was pleasantly surprised that flagged football is a lot harder
- 25:49Speaker 7: than I thought it was, So I found out pretty
- 25:50Speaker 7: quick that I wasn't going to be able to just
- 25:52Speaker 7: stand back there and just dice these guys up, and
- 25:54Speaker 7: you saw in the video I was having to run
- 25:56Speaker 7: around and make some guys miss. But I'm surprised that
- 25:58Speaker 7: after the first couple of throws didn't come up to
- 26:00Speaker 7: me and start asking either that was the best flag
- 26:02Speaker 7: football league in America?
- 26:03Speaker 3: They have?
- 26:05Speaker 7: Really, they have really good quarterbacks rolling through that.
- 26:08Speaker 6: I mean, that's when you got a pro quarterback coming, right,
- 26:11Speaker 6: a guy that can fire the pig.
- 26:13Speaker 4: And it's not just some schleip from you know, from
- 26:15Speaker 4: Porton right, but hang on a saying that corrects me.
- 26:17Speaker 2: It's like you're playing in the slow pitch softball game
- 26:19Speaker 2: and Aaron Judge is hitting five hundred foot taks and just.
- 26:21Speaker 7: Go, yeah, he's pretty good players exactly. I would say
- 26:23Speaker 7: something pretty quick if all of a sudden the ball
- 26:25Speaker 7: sounded a little different and looked a little bit different
- 26:27Speaker 7: coming off of somebody's head the nudes.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Let me tell you about our flag FOOTBA leagues. All
- 26:30Speaker 3: we do is me and my brothers. We actually call
- 26:32Speaker 3: the plays in Italian to get an advantage at the
- 26:35Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, and then we throw short passes and
- 26:38Speaker 3: do the old pitch back and forth all the way
- 26:40Speaker 3: down the field. That is what we do for flag football.
- 26:43Speaker 7: I love it. It's a totally different game. I was
- 26:45Speaker 7: very unaware it was three downs. The field was shorter.
- 26:47Speaker 7: They could bless I. Uh yeah, I'm glad I stretched
- 26:51Speaker 7: before that game.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I have a question for you, as I consider myself
- 26:55Speaker 2: a beer fishingado, I'm a big fan. You are the
- 26:58Speaker 2: master of the airport beers. After being cut, I got
- 27:01Speaker 2: I gotta ask, what's the go to beer? Are you
- 27:04Speaker 2: looking for an I p A or we just going
- 27:06Speaker 2: something domestic?
- 27:06Speaker 4: What's the beer?
- 27:07Speaker 5: Just a little midller line.
- 27:08Speaker 7: I'm all about bang for your buck around here, so
- 27:11Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to go like a seven or eight
- 27:12Speaker 7: percent I PA. I like voodoo Ranger, I like hazy
- 27:16Speaker 7: little saying. I'm sure there's there's some good Colorado ones
- 27:19Speaker 7: that I could plug right now that might be knocking
- 27:21Speaker 7: on my door after this. But uh, for the right number,
- 27:24Speaker 7: I could. I could say any brand right now that
- 27:26Speaker 7: I really wanted to so.
- 27:28Speaker 4: But no, No.
- 27:29Speaker 7: Most of the time, A nice I p A. I
- 27:31Speaker 7: like to see the little froth at the top and
- 27:33Speaker 7: we'll go from there.
- 27:34Speaker 3: All right, you got to be a part of the
- 27:36Speaker 3: shield more often this isulous that we haven't.
- 27:38Speaker 7: God, what's your go to?
- 27:40Speaker 3: I'm a wine drinker, dude, I'm a Talian. You're obviously
- 27:42Speaker 3: not a real Italian. Dude. I'm gonna ask about how
- 27:45Speaker 3: Italian you are, but you're not. You just showed me
- 27:47Speaker 3: you're not a real Attian.
- 27:48Speaker 7: Here's how Italian I am. My last name ends in
- 27:51Speaker 7: a vow, and I have hair all over my body.
- 27:53Speaker 3: Yeah that's where it stopped. You speak the language that
- 27:55Speaker 3: I got nothing.
- 27:56Speaker 5: Okay.
- 27:56Speaker 2: See then I made it a point when I first
- 27:59Speaker 2: moved here in twenty nineteen the only friends I would
- 28:01Speaker 2: make are people own craft breweries, and so that's all
- 28:03Speaker 2: I know.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Now.
- 28:04Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I can hook you up. I know a
- 28:06Speaker 4: few guys.
- 28:07Speaker 7: Yeah, we can't be friends. Then I don't know a
- 28:10Speaker 7: craft brewery.
- 28:12Speaker 4: No, but he can acquaintances. I can hook you up then,
- 28:14Speaker 4: in all.
- 28:15Speaker 6: Seriousness, Brett Scott connections that will blow your face off.
- 28:19Speaker 6: So if you if you want, if you want some
- 28:22Speaker 6: some coldies, I guarantee you the coming your way.
- 28:24Speaker 3: Last question, last question, And because you've been outstanding, it's
- 28:28Speaker 3: fourth down, the balls at the fourteen yard line. In
- 28:31Speaker 3: your brain, what do you want them to do in
- 28:32Speaker 3: that situation?
- 28:34Speaker 7: I got the same response that I think all of
- 28:37Speaker 7: you guys are going to have. And so I see,
- 28:40Speaker 7: I see both sides of the coin. Right, You're up
- 28:42Speaker 7: seven points at that point in the game. If you
- 28:44Speaker 7: if you convert that fourth down and go score, the
- 28:47Speaker 7: game is virtually over at that point. I mean, I
- 28:49Speaker 7: don't want to say virtually over, but you're in a
- 28:50Speaker 7: really good You're you're you're up two possessions and I
- 28:53Speaker 7: don't think they even had fifty yards of offense up
- 28:55Speaker 7: until that point. You take the field goal, you take
- 28:59Speaker 7: the points. You got to back up quarterback. You've got
- 29:00Speaker 7: to know the weather's coming the second half. That's kind
- 29:03Speaker 7: of the side that I tend to lean. Uh, Hey,
- 29:06Speaker 7: we've got a backup quarterback. Defense is playing really well.
- 29:09Speaker 7: We haven't been able to move the ball really other
- 29:11Speaker 7: than the first drive of the game where we hit
- 29:13Speaker 7: some some long passes. I thought, I thought we should
- 29:16Speaker 7: have taken the points and made that that a two
- 29:18Speaker 7: possession game, knowing that the weather was coming in the
- 29:20Speaker 7: second half. But that's that's just me, and obviously I'm
- 29:22Speaker 7: not the head coach for a reason. But that's that's
- 29:24Speaker 7: where I land.
- 29:24Speaker 6: Here's the final thing for this program, all right, whether
- 29:27Speaker 6: or not you can be our friend number one?
- 29:30Speaker 5: This is a dumb question. Do you golf?
- 29:33Speaker 7: Yes, I go.
- 29:33Speaker 5: I knew that that's a given. All right. What's your
- 29:36Speaker 5: what's your handicap? Do you have one?
- 29:38Speaker 7: My handicap is a tenth.
- 29:39Speaker 6: Okay we're saying that, Yeah, you're I'm gonna eight bretton eight.
- 29:43Speaker 6: Vix at twelve mosas a fake eight. He's about fourteen.
- 29:47Speaker 5: Okay.
- 29:48Speaker 7: I shot at ninety seven yesterday, so I bought myself
- 29:50Speaker 7: up from an eight to a ten.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 29:52Speaker 6: That's good for the scrambles this summer exactly. I'll tell
- 29:55Speaker 6: you what, when the hockey season's overall, get together. Vic's
- 29:58Speaker 6: got a place, we all got a place.

- 30:18Speaker 2: I just sometimes this happens. It's like love It first sight.
- 30:21Speaker 2: I'm in radio love It first sight with Ben Denucci.
- 30:23Speaker 4: I think everything was.
- 30:24Speaker 6: Already predisposed, though. I Ben Denucci could have come on
- 30:27Speaker 6: and said, you know.
- 30:28Speaker 4: What, I well most I speed. I Uh.
- 30:32Speaker 3: We've been trying to get him on for a few
- 30:34Speaker 3: weeks and I told Nelly this is right after the
- 30:36Speaker 3: season when I called Nellie, I said, Nelly, get de
- 30:38Speaker 3: Nucci on. And it's been a while, but we finally
- 30:40Speaker 3: got him on it. Now you can see why. Yeah,
- 30:42Speaker 3: they he's good. He was good man, and he's going
- 30:45Speaker 3: to be really good in the media game. Oh, I
- 30:47Speaker 3: just think it's it's crazy. I'm so glad he mentioned
- 30:50Speaker 3: that about the AFC Championship game because being there and
- 30:53Speaker 3: watching on TV, I know look bad on TV. You
- 30:55Speaker 3: guys don't understand. You couldn't see ten yards in front
- 30:59Speaker 3: of you.
- 31:00Speaker 6: No, I did, dude, I've I've I've been in that
- 31:02Speaker 6: situation before.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Like the receivers couldn't tell most most. Adam Trumpman said
- 31:07Speaker 3: after the game he couldn't tell where the Patriots' safeties
- 31:11Speaker 3: set up.
- 31:11Speaker 5: You know.
- 31:12Speaker 6: The the worst snow vic I think I saw was
- 31:14Speaker 6: the time that who was the Colts kicker that booted it?
- 31:18Speaker 4: Jet vander Jack? What did you say, Vanderwatt? It's vander Jack,
- 31:25Speaker 4: Mike vander Jack. That's correct.
- 31:26Speaker 6: He booted dude? On was it a Monday night? Came here, dude,
- 31:29Speaker 6: he booted like a fifty yard er in a in
- 31:31Speaker 6: a driving snowstorm. I'm like, oh my god. But then
- 31:33Speaker 6: when I saw that snow globe for the AFC toititle game,
- 31:36Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, one last thing.
- 31:37Speaker 4: I forgot to ask him. We didn't have time.
- 31:39Speaker 6: He sent out this. He was going back and forth
- 31:41Speaker 6: from JMU was one of his alma mater. Yeah, And
- 31:43Speaker 6: I'm like, what's he gonna do there? Man, it's gonna
- 31:45Speaker 6: what you gonna He's like, oh, get your gear. I'm like, god,

- 32:39Speaker 4: You know what this.
- 32:39Speaker 6: Sounds like to me? I told Nelly Bruno Mars is brilliant.
- 32:44Speaker 3: He's so much than that trash you gave us yesterday
- 32:47Speaker 3: with your play by play over it, it really is.
- 32:49Speaker 2: If you're about to disparage Bruno, I'm gonna.
- 32:55Speaker 6: I just praised him madly by saying he's brilliant. His
- 32:59Speaker 6: his Super Bowl halftime show, dude, is one of the
- 33:02Speaker 6: top five of all time. Easily. He was terrific. I
- 33:07Speaker 6: remember where I was in New York City.
- 33:09Speaker 4: Where's the butt.
- 33:10Speaker 6: I hear a butt coming, but that the beginning of
- 33:14Speaker 6: that is maybe not his fault, but it sounds like
- 33:16Speaker 6: a lot like, you know, an Isaac Hayes song from
- 33:18Speaker 6: the seventies.
- 33:19Speaker 4: It sounds like some Santana stuff. Yeah, it's great.
- 33:23Speaker 5: I'm just saying that. It takes me back I guess
- 33:25Speaker 5: a little.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Bit to the days you and Jake Schroeder were riding
- 33:28Speaker 3: You're Hardy's across France.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Two inches at a time.
- 33:34Speaker 6: Baby, She's just gone, you know. Can you imagine tuning
- 33:37Speaker 6: in for the first time all day and hearing that.
- 33:39Speaker 3: Can you imagine can you imagine Danucci saying I'm going
- 33:42Speaker 3: to go on the radio with these guys, let me
- 33:43Speaker 3: see what they're all about. Yeah, and tuning into that segment.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Can I tell you the one moment with Danucci funny
- 33:49Speaker 2: where if you guys missed it, good check out the podcast.
- 33:51Speaker 4: He was great. But the one thing that.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Pushed me over the edge on how much I liked
- 33:58Speaker 2: that guy when Mosa did the Mosha thing of long
- 34:02Speaker 2: pauseus what's your deal, and his immediate response was what's
- 34:06Speaker 2: your deal?
- 34:06Speaker 3: Exactly?
- 34:07Speaker 2: By doing that that quickly, I'm like, all right, this
- 34:09Speaker 2: guy gets it. He knows what's going on here. Text
- 34:12Speaker 2: Bruno Mars is awful, Nails on a chalkboard.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Christian not allowed to listen to the show.
- 34:17Speaker 4: Would you listen to? If that's not it?
- 34:20Speaker 2: If you play that song and you got to smile
- 34:22Speaker 2: on your face, then what the hell do you listen to?
- 34:24Speaker 2: You're probably one of those guys that like these songs
- 34:29Speaker 2: like you want to be angry all the time.
- 34:31Speaker 4: I like to be happy. It's a difference.
- 34:34Speaker 3: I'm with you.
- 34:36Speaker 6: I don't know, man, Rocky Mountain Way and Lay It
- 34:38Speaker 6: Down are pretty good, dude, I don't know, man.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Vic what would be your shock factor? One to ten
- 34:46Speaker 2: if the Nuggets win tonight?
- 34:49Speaker 3: My expectations, I would be pleasantly surprised, to put it
- 34:52Speaker 3: that way, because that's not a number. What like, how
- 34:56Speaker 3: do I enumerate shock factor from what to one?
- 35:00Speaker 5: Give me?
- 35:00Speaker 3: Give me a gauge.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Here, One being that the sun came out today, ten
- 35:05Speaker 2: being that there's a an asteroid that's two inches from
- 35:08Speaker 2: hitting earth.
- 35:10Speaker 6: US.
- 35:10Speaker 3: So is ten shocked? Is one shocked? Which one is shocked?
- 35:14Speaker 3: You're still not helping me out here.
- 35:15Speaker 4: How would the sun coming out be shocking to you?
- 35:20Speaker 6: How much easier calling no no, no, he's uh, he's thinking
- 35:23Speaker 6: of nuclear apocalypse.
- 35:24Speaker 4: So if that happens and no sun comes, you get
- 35:27Speaker 4: it again.
- 35:29Speaker 3: I cannot make myself more abundantly clear. I would be
- 35:32Speaker 3: pleasantly surprised if the Nuggets can go into OKC tonight
- 35:36Speaker 3: minus two essential defensive players and beat an OKAC team
- 35:40Speaker 3: who welcomes back SGA to the lineup. I would be
- 35:45Speaker 3: very not very surprised, mildly surprised. I wish it upon them,
- 35:51Speaker 3: and they have to prove they can win a game
- 35:53Speaker 3: like this without two key defensive players. They have to
- 35:56Speaker 3: prove it.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Do you think that we'll get news about being available
- 36:00Speaker 2: anytime before, like an hour before the game starts.
- 36:03Speaker 3: Knowing Jamal Murray, I think he plays and knowing Jamal
- 36:06Speaker 3: Murray's history when he is at all injured or sick
- 36:10Speaker 3: or anything like that, that next game he goes off,
- 36:14Speaker 3: So yes he does. I wouldn't be surprised if he
- 36:17Speaker 3: plays and plays very well for the Nuggets to win tonight. Again,
- 36:21Speaker 3: it comes down to matching Oklahoma City's physicality. Don't let
- 36:25Speaker 3: them get into you early, don't let them dictate the
- 36:27Speaker 3: foul pace, Don't let them take care of the refs, because.
- 36:30Speaker 5: That's what they do.
- 36:31Speaker 3: What they do is they tell the refs the style
- 36:33Speaker 3: they're going to play in the first five minutes of
- 36:35Speaker 3: the game.
- 36:36Speaker 5: Yep, So I'm.
- 36:39Speaker 6: Jeff El hefe Bruno Mars flies ier lingis am I
- 36:47Speaker 6: supposed to know what that means.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Why'd you read it if he didn't know what it means.
- 36:53Speaker 6: I'm trying to learn. Oh, I'm sorry, I'm trying to learn.
- 36:56Speaker 6: It's a bad thing, I guess okay.
- 37:00Speaker 2: I'm with you, though, Vic. I think that more than
- 37:02Speaker 2: anything else, you cannot allow their physicality to get inside
- 37:10Speaker 2: your head. People get frustrated by that all the time,
- 37:13Speaker 2: and I think it seeps into the way.
- 37:14Speaker 6: That they It does my head when I'm watching it
- 37:16Speaker 6: and they're all over.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Nikola like a bad habit, I remember how they they
- 37:22Speaker 3: hate it. They came into ball Arena a few weeks
- 37:24Speaker 3: ago and beat the Nuggets, and it was one of
- 37:27Speaker 3: those games. It was the second game back for Joker
- 37:30Speaker 3: from his injury. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well,
- 37:33Speaker 3: but because he didn't attempt many shots in that game,
- 37:35Speaker 3: go back and look at the numbers, they were all
- 37:37Speaker 3: over there blanketing him in that game, and that's the
- 37:40Speaker 3: game Caseen Wallace went off, he had like eight threes,
- 37:44Speaker 3: couldn't miss. Limit their chances, get physical and tell the
- 37:51Speaker 3: refs how you want to play tonight. If you give
- 37:53Speaker 3: me put it this way, if you tell me that
- 37:55Speaker 3: the Nuggets defense we saw against Boston is the defense
- 37:58Speaker 3: they played tonight.
- 37:59Speaker 4: I like the itets chances.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Seven thirty Tonight Nuggets and thunder right here out to
- 38:04Speaker 2: two Sports Radio in ninety two to five pregame powered
- 38:07Speaker 2: by Ramos Law at six thirty, our favorite part of
- 38:10Speaker 2: the week, Trunk.
- 38:10Speaker 10: Takes Ourger Lombardy and Kane Drunk takes for the record.
- 38:19Speaker 10: I think this sort of dehumanizes us.
- 38:24Speaker 3: And it really cracks out our credibility as a show.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Drunk takes.
- 38:32Speaker 6: I like it a couple of times a year. We
- 38:34Speaker 6: all do the Monday Night them together.

- 38:39Speaker 5: I love it. I love it.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Drunk takes our clips from throughout the week. We saw
- 38:44Speaker 2: them down a half speed. It makes it sound like
- 38:45Speaker 2: we're hammered. Nelly thirty three in a quarter. God, I
- 38:49Speaker 2: would I would give off so many games right there
- 38:56Speaker 2: like a.

- 39:14Speaker 6: Absolutely alligator, absolut alligator.
- 39:19Speaker 2: I looked up, Oh, he just closed my laptop. I
- 39:21Speaker 2: looked up Kawhi Leonard's arm length. VIC listening to this
- 39:24Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard, whos six foot seven, has a seven foot
- 39:27Speaker 2: three wingspan. His hands from pinky to thumb are eleven
- 39:34Speaker 2: in a quarter inches. It almost a full foot crazy.
- 39:39Speaker 3: Yeah, Peyton Watson's got an extremely long wingspan, makes him
- 39:43Speaker 3: able to block those shots. Yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 6: Next you realize he's rubbed that in every open orifice
- 39:51Speaker 6: on my body.
