- 0:19Speaker 3: I miss the old rap song radio show intros. T-Pain
- 0:25Speaker 3: does it. All right, blast it, Nellie.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Mix it, Nelly. I want to mix. Give me a mix. Bogdan, Bogdan, Bigdan, Bagdan.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Don't call me that.
- 0:43Speaker 3: What?
- 0:44Speaker 2: What the holy * * * *?
- 0:45Speaker 3: Mojo.
- 0:48Speaker 1: My biological clock is ticking like this.
- 0:50Speaker 4: Do you understand the words that are coming out of
- 0:53Speaker 4: my mouth?
- 0:54Speaker 2: You're just like me.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Trash. Yes!
- 0:57Speaker 2: Yes!
- 0:58Speaker 5: Yes!
- 0:59Speaker 2: Yes!
- 0:59Speaker 1: Dale's a loser.
- 1:02Speaker 2: We just did that one.
- 1:04Speaker 6: That's good.
- 1:06Speaker 3: There is a gap in our musical history right now
- 1:13Speaker 3: as a country, as a society. We need more songs
- 1:17Speaker 3: that start with them faking like they're hosting a radio show.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Because I just showed Moe's the stylings of a wonderful poet, Vic.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Named Petey Pablo.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
- 1:29Speaker 1: I love me some Petey Pablo, bro.
- 1:30Speaker 7: Gave him his first taste of his poem, Freak-A-Leek.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I was very surprised at the contents of old Freak-A-Leek.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Where that song starts, let's take some calls from the
- 1:41Speaker 3: request line. And then he goes on to list all
- 1:45Speaker 3: of the women he's had relationships with.
- 1:47Speaker 2: That's great.
- 1:48Speaker 4: You know what we also need to bring back?
- 1:49Speaker 7: Which is Shauna, Sabrina, Crystal, Rhonda, Monica, Monique, Christina, and Yolanda.
- 1:54Speaker 2: All of them.
- 1:58Speaker 4: Atta boy, Petey.
- 1:59Speaker 5: Brett, we also need to bring back the era where,
- 2:00Speaker 5: for some reason, every rapper needed to have a small
- 2:03Speaker 5: child saying who they were at the beginning.
- 2:05Speaker 4: Be like, Hurricane Chris on the track.
- 2:08Speaker 8: Why?
- 2:09Speaker 4: Why do you need a baby announcing your presence?
- 2:11Speaker 2: You know what?
- 2:12Speaker 7: I'm going to have baby Jamal Cale do that for
- 2:13Speaker 7: an appetizer intro.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Sounds good.
- 2:15Speaker 3: It's Brett Cade on the track. Oh, I miss it.
- 2:23Speaker 7: We should have done that for our Michael Porter Jr.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Song.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Or Step Back Jacob Bloom. I should have said, let's
- 2:29Speaker 3: take some recall from the request line.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Damn, son, where'd you find this?
- 2:34Speaker 2: It's hard to believe that that's five and a half
- 2:36Speaker 2: years old now.
- 2:37Speaker 3: It's crazy. I know.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Just crazy.
- 2:40Speaker 3: So a couple things here moving forward. I don't know
- 2:42Speaker 3: if you guys saw this from Bo Nix yesterday at
- 2:45Speaker 3: the podium. He said this about the Chiefs loss.
- 2:47Speaker 9: Learned a long time ago, you never play as bad
- 2:49Speaker 9: as you think, and you never play as good as
- 2:50Speaker 9: you think. So for us, it was the case of
- 2:53Speaker 9: we didn't play as bad as what we thought. We just,
- 2:55Speaker 9: there at the end of the game, we didn't get
- 2:56Speaker 9: many third down conversions, and we felt like it was 7-7, 14-7,
- 3:00Speaker 9: and 21-7 for a long time in the game. So
- 3:03Speaker 9: it was reachable, and we were in it for a while.
- 3:06Speaker 9: We just didn't help ourselves by any means, and You
- 3:09Speaker 9: watch the film, and there's a couple good things, and
- 3:10Speaker 9: then we're all of a sudden back because of a
- 3:13Speaker 9: penalty or something, and you just can't win in this
- 3:15Speaker 9: league like that. So we're not going to press the
- 3:17Speaker 9: panic button. We're not freaking out. We're not starting from
- 3:20Speaker 9: scratch or anything. We feel like we're still in a
- 3:22Speaker 9: good spot, and we just didn't play great by any means,
- 3:25Speaker 9: and we've got to play better.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I like Bo. He's level-headed. He's poised. He's more adult
- 3:31Speaker 1: than any of us. I get it.
- 3:33Speaker 2: But he's wrong.
- 3:34Speaker 1: They played terrible. I was thinking– There's not a– there's
- 3:38Speaker 1: no going back and saying there were a lot of,
- 3:40Speaker 1: that was terrible. That's just you trying to talk yourself
- 3:44Speaker 1: into it, right?
- 3:45Speaker 2: Yeah, when I first heard that, that was a bit of,
- 3:47Speaker 2: you're trying to sell yourself on your own thoughts. A
- 3:50Speaker 2: little whistling by the graveyard type of stuff, because if
- 3:52Speaker 2: you genuinely look at the tape, honestly, it was terrible.
- 3:57Speaker 2: There was no, in those meetings this week, Brett, no like,
- 4:00Speaker 2: you know, guys, let's watch this series. This is actually
- 4:03Speaker 2: better than we thought. No, it was not good.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Well, it reminded me, and I don't know what this is,
- 4:10Speaker 3: it reminded me of something else that I saw in
- 4:12Speaker 3: football yesterday, which was the quarterback of the Tennessee Titans,
- 4:17Speaker 3: Cam Ward, who said this.
- 4:18Speaker 8: I think, you know, I'm a very good quarterback. You know,
- 4:20Speaker 8: I think I do a lot of things, you know,
- 4:21Speaker 8: different than a lot of quarterbacks can't do. And it's
- 4:24Speaker 8: also stuff that, you know, I have to get better
- 4:26Speaker 8: at as, you know, some.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Things that I lack.
- 4:28Speaker 8: That's a process that you take on each and every day.
- 4:30Speaker 8: I have great coaches around me to continue to push
- 4:32Speaker 8: me to that level that I want to play at.
- 4:34Speaker 8: And when, you know, the tide turns, you know, I'm
- 4:37Speaker 8: pretty sure, you know, it's going to be a different story.
- 4:39Speaker 2: Doesn't a very good NFL quarterback have better results than
- 4:42Speaker 2: you have?
- 4:43Speaker 8: I think it comes with the game. It comes with
- 4:45Speaker 8: the defensive plan. It comes with, you know, what the D.C.
- 4:48Speaker 8: 's philosophy is. And, you know, every game is not
- 4:52Speaker 8: going to be a shootout. Every game is going to.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Be a win.
- 4:54Speaker 2: It could be a bad pass. So I played that just.
- 4:56Speaker 3: To be like, I don't know why some quarterbacks and
- 4:58Speaker 3: I would put Bo in this category at those comments yesterday.
- 5:01Speaker 7: There's nothing wrong with just being like, yeah, it was terrible.
- 5:04Speaker 3: I need to be better. I think that's all it takes.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Just say, yeah, I was really bad. I'm going to
- 5:09Speaker 3: be better. I promise I'll be better, but I was
- 5:11Speaker 3: really bad.
- 5:11Speaker 1: I think you're missing one thing that I've learned about
- 5:14Speaker 1: pro athletes over the years. And most you've come across
- 5:18Speaker 1: this too. I'm sure they have, not only are they
- 5:21Speaker 1: genetically just superior, to most right they just have the
- 5:24Speaker 1: superpower they are super powered people but their um confidence
- 5:31Speaker 1: level goes to a certain point where they're incapable of
- 5:36Speaker 1: assigning any weakness weakness i mean it's like it's just
- 5:43Speaker 1: a flaw it's it's it's a bad week it's uh
- 5:46Speaker 1: oh we're right and it's not a i'm not trying
- 5:48Speaker 1: to say it's a bad thing i i wish all
- 5:51Speaker 1: of us were more confident right These guys are 11.
- 5:54Speaker 1: But it's a confidence to the nth degree where you're
- 5:57Speaker 1: not really being honest with yourself.
- 5:59Speaker 3: You're not acknowledging reality.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
- 6:02Speaker 1: And that's what a lot of these guys, they're wired
- 6:06Speaker 1: that way. They're wired. That's the way they are. I
- 6:12Speaker 1: know some basketball players that have come across in the
- 6:16Speaker 1: NBA that you ask the question, what are your goals?
- 6:20Speaker 1: I want to be the best player who ever lived.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And I want to say to them, dude, shut up.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Just stop. You're not going to be the best player
- 6:32Speaker 1: who's ever lived. You've been in the league for six years.
- 6:36Speaker 1: I think we understand. You're not going to. I think
- 6:39Speaker 1: we're good there.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:41Speaker 7: You know, you want to say that, but they're just
- 6:44Speaker 7: wired differently.
- 6:46Speaker 3: You know, what's funny is I still remember this quote
- 6:49Speaker 3: from Jerry Judy the year after he left for or
- 6:51Speaker 3: got traded to Cleveland. and I can't remember which reporter
- 6:55Speaker 3: it was. It was somebody in town, though, but talked
- 6:57Speaker 3: to him and said, what are your goals this year
- 7:02Speaker 3: now playing for the Browns? You know what his answer was?
- 7:06Speaker 3: I want to be the highest paid receiver in the league.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And part of me laughed. I was like, Your goal
- 7:11Speaker 3: is to be the highest paid. And the other part
- 7:13Speaker 3: of me goes, you know what? Good on you for
- 7:15Speaker 3: just saying this is exactly what's on my mind. I
- 7:17Speaker 3: want to make the most money I can make. The
- 7:20Speaker 3: answer wasn't I want to win a Super Bowl or
- 7:22Speaker 3: I want to, you know, whatever I can do to
- 7:24Speaker 3: help my team. It was, no, I'd like to get
- 7:26Speaker 3: paid a lot of money. That's my goal.
- 7:29Speaker 7: But I think you're so right, Vic.
- 7:31Speaker 3: In a lot of cases, they feel like if they acknowledge,
- 7:36Speaker 3: at least publicly, that they played poorly. It's like an internal, well,
- 7:44Speaker 3: does that mean I'm not very good? No, you can
- 7:46Speaker 3: just have a bad game. You can have a bad game.
- 7:49Speaker 3: And that's what that was. And there was no like,
- 7:51Speaker 3: it wasn't as bad as it looked. No, it was
- 7:53Speaker 3: exactly as bad as it looked.
- 7:55Speaker 1: I think you're right. And again, this is not a
- 7:58Speaker 1: knock on Bo. He is an optimist. He's wired differently.
- 8:05Speaker 1: He's proven that poise comes in handy late in games
- 8:10Speaker 1: when His heart doesn't skip, right? He's just right there.
- 8:14Speaker 1: And that's why you come back and beat the New
- 8:16Speaker 1: York Giants when most of the stadium thought the game
- 8:18Speaker 1: was over. Some of us went home. Not him. He
- 8:21Speaker 1: didn't go home. He stayed and finished the game and
- 8:23Speaker 1: won the game. So he's wired that way. However, most
- 8:27Speaker 1: of us are thinking, if he said into that microphone, yeah,
- 8:31Speaker 1: we were terrible in every facet. One of the worst
- 8:34Speaker 1: games we ever had in offense. It was awful. The
- 8:37Speaker 1: tape was worse than the game. We need to fix it.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Now, what would your response be if he said that?
- 8:43Speaker 2: I agree with you.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd just be like, yes, me too.
- 8:48Speaker 2: No, I would say, yeah, you better fix it. Is
- 8:51Speaker 2: you is or is you ain't.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Yeah. So when quarterbacks and when people and leaders say, yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 1: you know, we looked at the tape and there's a
- 8:59Speaker 1: lot of good.
- 9:01Speaker 7: What good?
- 9:04Speaker 3: It doesn't make anybody feel better.
- 9:07Speaker 2: It's.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Although. You know what's funny is that if you can
- 9:14Speaker 3: point to specific things, maybe that makes it different.
- 9:18Speaker 1: If Pat Bryant doesn't hold on that run near the
- 9:21Speaker 1: goal line, yeah, you know, if this doesn't happen, if
- 9:25Speaker 1: they call a hold on Kelsey, you could say that
- 9:28Speaker 1: about every play of every game, though.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but, you know, Vic, at the same time, let
- 9:32Speaker 2: me go back to the defensive side of things from
- 9:34Speaker 2: last week, all right? And the Broncos' defense doesn't need
- 9:39Speaker 2: to watch a ton of what they screwed up because
- 9:43Speaker 2: they just didn't tackle. Brett, you made the point. At
- 9:45Speaker 2: the point of attack, they got there. They got there.
- 9:50Speaker 7: As hard as this is to believe.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Let me contrast it.
- 9:52Speaker 3: The Broncos were, I think, I'll have to go back
- 9:56Speaker 3: and look at it again. If they weren't the best,
- 9:58Speaker 3: they were top three in the league. at contact near
- 10:02Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. Despite giving up 200 and some
- 10:07Speaker 3: yards on the ground.
- 10:08Speaker 2: Now, Vic, let me contrast that. On the Kincaid touchdown
- 10:11Speaker 2: last night for the Bills, and I'm watching Allen run
- 10:13Speaker 2: all over the field, and he puts his head down,
- 10:15Speaker 2: and he plows through human beings. God, what a weapon.
- 10:19Speaker 2: That being said, Dan Campbell today can get in and go,
- 10:23Speaker 2: all right, Chuck Clark, Chuck, now see on this play,
- 10:27Speaker 2: when you fell asleep at the two, literally dozed off.
- 10:32Speaker 2: You took an Ambien before a snap, right? You dozed
- 10:34Speaker 2: off at the two, and Kincaid ran right by you. Now,
- 10:38Speaker 2: we need to fix that. We can't do that. The
- 10:42Speaker 2: Broncos' defensive coaches don't have to go– Tackle this guy.
- 10:47Speaker 2: They know. There's no help in that at all. Now, offensively,
- 10:51Speaker 2: that's a totally different story. And when you go back
- 10:53Speaker 2: and you see it, be honest about it. And prove
- 10:56Speaker 2: it because this team coming in here is good on Sunday.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Doug, on the text line, that's perfectly said. Pro athletes
- 11:03Speaker 1: need unshakable self-belief to survive. You're exactly right.
- 11:08Speaker 3: But you can have self-belief while acknowledging that the thing
- 11:13Speaker 3: that you just did wasn't good. Right?
- 11:17Speaker 2: Like, I.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Joker does it all the time. Nikola Jokic, we were terrible.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Can you win in the playoffs? No.
- 11:25Speaker 2: He doesn't lack any belief in himself. I can promise
- 11:28Speaker 2: you that. But he can admit that, hey, man, we stunk.
- 11:31Speaker 1: He doesn't lie.
- 11:33Speaker 10: Correct.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Put it that way. Like, if you asked Nikola... If
- 11:36Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets had performed like the Broncos, and you
- 11:40Speaker 1: asked Nikola Jokic, how was the game the other night?
- 11:42Speaker 1: You think Nikola would say, we went back and looked
- 11:44Speaker 1: at the tape, and there was some good... What do
- 11:46Speaker 1: you think he would say?
- 11:47Speaker 2: We were awful.
- 11:48Speaker 1: We were terrible.
- 11:49Speaker 3: He would say we were terrible.
- 11:49Speaker 2: We were terrible. We're not going to win many games.
- 11:51Speaker 1: And I guess that's all you, you know, just be honest.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Just fix it.
- 11:56Speaker 3: If a stand-up comic and a very good one goes
- 11:59Speaker 3: up and bombs in front of a crowd, I think
- 12:00Speaker 3: they would acknowledge, oh, I bombed. And they wouldn't think
- 12:04Speaker 3: they're a worse comedian because of it because it just
- 12:06Speaker 3: happens sometimes.
- 12:07Speaker 1: You had a bad night.
- 12:08Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:08Speaker 1: We understand. By the way, Sunday, guys.
- 12:11Speaker 2: Hold on. What actor, this famous, who was it? I
- 12:15Speaker 2: was watching a famous actor do an interview, and he
- 12:17Speaker 2: was talking about a film that he made. He goes,
- 12:20Speaker 2: it's one of the worst pieces. It's one of the
- 12:22Speaker 2: worst things ever put on film.
- 12:23Speaker 3: Ryan Reynolds talks about Green Lantern that way.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Is that what he says?
- 12:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 12:27Speaker 2: It wasn't him, but I forget who it was.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Kevin Costner and the Postman?
- 12:30Speaker 2: It was just, I took the money. It should be
- 12:34Speaker 2: in the trash bin, that kind of thing.
- 12:37Speaker 1: This Sunday, the Broncos are going to add a little
- 12:40Speaker 1: flair to this game. They're bringing back Tim Tebow. I
- 12:44Speaker 1: saw that. Tim Tebow is going to be the best Bronco.
- 12:47Speaker 1: He's going to plant the flag. He's going to do
- 12:49Speaker 1: all that fun stuff. Tim Tebow happens to be the
- 12:55Speaker 1: idol of one Bo Nix. What would Tim Tebow do
- 12:58Speaker 1: right now? Grew up idolizing Tim Tebow.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:02Speaker 1: Maybe he can bring some of that flair out of
- 13:04Speaker 1: Bo on Sunday, but I can't wait to see Tim.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Tim Tebow is, listen, you say what you want, and
- 13:11Speaker 1: I know he's the subject of a lot of and fun,
- 13:14Speaker 1: and people mock him. He produced one of the most
- 13:17Speaker 1: memorable seasons in Broncos history. I'll go to my grave
- 13:20Speaker 1: with that. I had more fun covering that season, watching
- 13:22Speaker 1: those games, than I had some championship seasons, for crying
- 13:25Speaker 1: out loud. That's how much fun it was. Because it
- 13:27Speaker 1: came out of left field. It was absolute zany, crazy.
- 13:31Speaker 3: Here's a few examples of actors acknowledging terrible movies. Sylvester
- 13:36Speaker 3: Stallone had a movie called Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Yeah, that sucked.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah, it did.
- 13:41Speaker 3: He said, if you wanted someone to confess to a murder,
- 13:44Speaker 3: make them sit through 15 minutes of that movie.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Well, that was with Estelle Getty, the chick from the
- 13:51Speaker 2: Golden Girls. The old Golden Girls lady, yeah.
- 13:53Speaker 3: George Clooney, when he played Batman, said watching his performance
- 13:57Speaker 3: physically hurts him.
- 13:59Speaker 1: All right.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Mark Wahlberg in the movie The Happening.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Never heard of it.
- 14:04Speaker 3: Citing the plot, he threw his hands up and joked,
- 14:08Speaker 3: bleeping trees. The movie was about trees. Okay. So there
- 14:13Speaker 3: you go. There's a few of them.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Well, thanks for that.
- 14:16Speaker 7: So all I'm saying, it's not hard to.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Just be like, you can be successful and just be like, yeah,
- 14:20Speaker 3: that was bad. What I just did there was bad.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I'll fix it. And you better.
- 14:25Speaker 7: Because if you don't against Jacksonville, you're going to lose
- 14:27Speaker 7: by 20 again.
- 14:28Speaker 2: The God's honest truth is, hey, look, man, this is
- 14:31Speaker 2: a good team coming in here. They're not fake. It's
- 14:34Speaker 2: not smoke and mirrors. This is a team on the rise.
- 14:36Speaker 2: But what are you, Denver Broncos?
- 14:38Speaker 4: Who are you?
- 14:40Speaker 2: Are you an AFC stud or are you not an
- 14:42Speaker 2: AFC stud? Prove it on Sunday.
- 14:44Speaker 7: Doesn't get much bigger than this.
- 14:45Speaker 2: No.
- 14:46Speaker 3: 1 Cherry Creek takes on No. 2 Valor tonight at 7.
- 14:48Speaker 3: You can tune in for a huge night of Colorado
- 14:50Speaker 3: high school football on Altitude Sports Radio 92.5. Thanks to
- 14:53Speaker 3: our friends at Wings Credit Union and Sport Clips back
- 14:56Speaker 3: after this.
- 14:57Speaker 2: It's a big weekend, boys. It's a big weekend. It's
- 14:59Speaker 2: an important weekend. We're going to learn a lot this
- 15:01Speaker 2: weekend from the pro football team and two college football teams,
- 15:06Speaker 2: are we not?
- 15:07Speaker 1: I would say so.
- 15:08Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yep. We are going to learn a lot about the
- 15:12Speaker 2: local teams.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Which one will we learn the most about? Which game
- 15:21Speaker 3: this week in between the three will prove the most
- 15:23Speaker 3: of kind of like who they are?
- 15:26Speaker 1: Well, that's a trick question because we'll learn a lot
- 15:29Speaker 1: about each. I mean, if CSU can keep it close,
- 15:33Speaker 1: we'll know they're legit. If CU can beat Northwestern, we'll
- 15:37Speaker 1: know they're legit. If the Broncos can beat Jacksonville, we'll
- 15:40Speaker 1: know that last week was a fluke. It's that simple.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Um, okay, fine.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Let me ask it another way. If the Broncos lose,
- 15:48Speaker 3: but lose close to the Jags, does that matter?
- 15:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that does matter.
- 15:51Speaker 3: Or does it just matter if matters?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Okay.
- 15:54Speaker 3: So if they play better this week, but the Jags
- 15:56Speaker 3: went on a last second field goal, you'll still feel
- 15:59Speaker 3: okay about the Broncos.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Like a 31, 28 type of score, something like that. Yeah.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Cause like I said, I don't, or 28, 24. I'm
- 16:07Speaker 3: not considering this in MW game. But it is a
- 16:13Speaker 3: Flust Flynn. It's a Bust Pin.
- 16:17Speaker 2: It's a... Just Sin?
- 16:20Speaker 3: Just Sin. It's pretty damn close considering what you have
- 16:24Speaker 3: in front of you. If you come out of the
- 16:26Speaker 3: gates 0-2, I'll just rattle this off to you guys again,
- 16:29Speaker 3: and you tell me. You come out of the gates 0-2.
- 16:34Speaker 3: Your next handful of games up until the bye week
- 16:39Speaker 3: is Rams next week. Yeah. At the Niners, at the Chargers,
- 16:45Speaker 3: Seahawks on Thursday night, at Arizona, which doesn't seem so
- 16:50Speaker 3: easy anymore, Kansas City again, and then at Carolina, then
- 16:55Speaker 3: you have the bye. Then you have a nice little
- 16:57Speaker 3: cluster of games that are, I would say, easier.
- 17:00Speaker 2: They look easier as we speak, yes, but you never
- 17:03Speaker 2: know when you get there.
- 17:03Speaker 3: And then you close the year. Here's your three-game stretch.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Buffalo at New England, Chargers.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Ugh.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Like, Every game looks hard all of a sudden.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 7: And every, it looked hard at the beginning too.
- 17:15Speaker 2: But I'm guessing that those last three teams, I wish
- 17:17Speaker 2: they were flipped. I wish that Buffalo was the last
- 17:20Speaker 2: game of the year because they may, they may not
- 17:22Speaker 2: have anything to play for, you know, in that last
- 17:25Speaker 2: game of the season. But I'm guessing, I'm guessing that
- 17:28Speaker 2: those three teams will have something to play for, whether
- 17:31Speaker 2: it's seating or getting in or whatever.
- 17:34Speaker 7: It's to me like, I think you're right.
- 17:39Speaker 3: If they win and they play well and the Jags
- 17:42Speaker 3: just somehow come out on top, like, okay. But it
- 17:48Speaker 3: really feels like you need one here. Just a reset.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Because then you can go into the Rams game and say,
- 17:54Speaker 3: all right, if you lose, you go one and two,
- 17:56Speaker 3: that's okay. Got another shot next week to get back
- 17:59Speaker 3: to 500. I mean, we all said it, right? What
- 18:02Speaker 3: was the goal through the first six weeks of the season?
- 18:06Speaker 3: It was three and three. I think we all said
- 18:08Speaker 3: before the season started, correct me if I'm wrong, if
- 18:11Speaker 3: I handed you three and three through the first six weeks,
- 18:14Speaker 3: do you take it?
- 18:14Speaker 2: I'll take it all day.
- 18:15Speaker 3: And I think we all were like, yeah.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. Hey, you know what? Also, when I start
- 18:20Speaker 2: to look down the line a little bit, I don't know.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Do you think the Rams are good?
- 18:28Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rams are good.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Do they lay an egg?
- 18:32Speaker 3: The first week?
- 18:33Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. And they lost Miles Garrett. That's a big thing.
- 18:37Speaker 2: But the Rams are good, and I think the Rams
- 18:40Speaker 2: on Monday night are going to punk the New York
- 18:42Speaker 2: football giants. But let's say they lost. How pissed would
- 18:48Speaker 2: they be coming into this place? Yeah. Realizing that you
- 18:51Speaker 2: just cannot afford to go 0-3. I mean, they're a
- 18:54Speaker 2: darling pick for the Super Bowl before the year began,
- 18:57Speaker 2: and they laid a tremendous egg.
- 18:59Speaker 3: If you lose and the Rams lose... Now, all of
- 19:04Speaker 3: a sudden, somebody is leaving that game 0-3.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Good Lord.
- 19:07Speaker 3: That's scary.
- 19:09Speaker 2: I don't think the Rams are going to punk the
- 19:11Speaker 2: Giants on Monday night. I have way more confidence in
- 19:14Speaker 2: that than you punking the Jags on Sunday day.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Let me ask you another question. What are the Jags
- 19:23Speaker 3: in your mind? What are they?
- 19:24Speaker 1: You're asking a lot of questions tonight.
- 19:27Speaker 3: I'm a question guy.
- 19:30Speaker 1: The Jags are a team. That is on the brink
- 19:34Speaker 1: of mediocrity or greatness. They're on that line.
- 19:39Speaker 3: That's a good way to put it, actually. They're a
- 19:42Speaker 3: team that you're like, yeah, they're good. Or maybe they're
- 19:46Speaker 3: a team you're like, yeah, yeah.
- 19:48Speaker 2: They're good no they are on the under Liam Cohen
- 19:50Speaker 2: dude dude this is a different football team good it's
- 19:56Speaker 2: a totally different team.
- 19:59Speaker 7: It certainly seems Trevor Lawrence.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Is playing the best football of his life in the
- 20:03Speaker 2: last you know year calendar year in fact I want
- 20:09Speaker 2: to look this up. They're not unbeatable, and they're not
- 20:12Speaker 2: super studs or anything like that, but they're a team
- 20:15Speaker 2: on the rise, man. They're a team that I think
- 20:18Speaker 2: they believe they can contend in the AFC. They think
- 20:21Speaker 2: that they can get there.
- 20:24Speaker 3: Talk amongst yourselves for a moment, please.
- 20:26Speaker 2: What time's Long coming on, Nellie?
- 20:27Speaker 3: He's coming on at 9 o'clock.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Okay, 9 o'clock. Again, it was two years ago, Vic,
- 20:31Speaker 2: where Mark Long said, what did he say, Nellie?
- 20:34Speaker 1: Well, that's how far the Broncos and Jags, that's how
- 20:37Speaker 1: much they've changed.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Yes.
- 20:39Speaker 1: The Broncos should come in here and beat that ass.
- 20:41Speaker 2: That was two years ago.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's how bad the Jags were, and look
- 20:44Speaker 1: where they are now.
- 20:45Speaker 4: That was probably longer ago than that, right?
- 20:47Speaker 2: Was it three years ago?
- 20:49Speaker 4: I'll do some digging. I'll get you an exact game
- 20:50Speaker 4: for that.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Okay, three years ago, whatever it is. Maybe four. Heck,
- 20:54Speaker 2: I don't remember. It was the old building. I do
- 20:56Speaker 2: know that.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence has 25 touchdowns in his last nine games.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Oh, is that all? Vic, are you listening? Vic, are
- 21:06Speaker 2: you hearing what Brett is hearing? He's got 25 touches
- 21:09Speaker 2: in his last nine games, bro. That's insanity.
- 21:15Speaker 3: No, I take that back. With rushing touchdowns, it's 29.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Oh, my Lord.
- 21:19Speaker 3: 29 touchdowns in his last nine games.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Listen, tackling ain't going to be a problem on Sunday.
- 21:29Speaker 2: I agree. For the Broncos defense, you know what's going
- 21:31Speaker 2: to be a problem? That guy.
- 21:33Speaker 3: Well, let me give you the good news.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Here's the problem for the Broncos defense on Sunday, and
- 21:37Speaker 2: it's not going to be tackling like it was last
- 21:38Speaker 2: week on Monday night. The problem is scheme. The Jags
- 21:43Speaker 2: are going to scheme the snot out of you, and
- 21:45Speaker 2: that quarterback is playing like a witch himself.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Let me give you the good news. If there was
- 21:50Speaker 3: one thing I could point to on Monday night that
- 21:53Speaker 3: I would say, you know what?
- 21:54Speaker 1: Not that bad.
- 21:56Speaker 3: Pass defense was pretty good. On Monday. Now, when they
- 22:00Speaker 3: allowed somebody to catch the football two yards past the
- 22:03Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, tackling them was a problem.
- 22:05Speaker 1: Yeah, Mahomes didn't look electric by any means via the
- 22:08Speaker 1: passing game.
- 22:09Speaker 7: There was not a downfield pass that was hit.
- 22:11Speaker 3: I don't remember a lot of PIs or defensive holding
- 22:14Speaker 3: calls or anything like that or legal contacts.
- 22:17Speaker 7: Their pass defense was good.
- 22:18Speaker 3: If there's anything that you should feel pretty confident in
- 22:20Speaker 3: going into this game, it's, I know Trevor Lawrence is
- 22:22Speaker 3: really good through the air and has been for the
- 22:24Speaker 3: last 12 games, whatever it is. Your past defense started
- 22:29Speaker 3: the season the way that we expected, which was good.
- 22:32Speaker 1: A texter hinted at this, and it's crazy to me.
- 22:37Speaker 4: You guys discussed the Rams.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Will they be able to bounce back? Do you see
- 22:40Speaker 1: the Rams? Their opening game was a Thursday nighter, well,
- 22:44Speaker 1: morning in Australia. Their second game this week is a
- 22:48Speaker 1: Monday nighter. Their third game is a Sunday nighter in Denver.
- 22:54Speaker 1: They don't play a Sunday game until, like, October.
- 22:55Speaker 2: October. Sunday day game, yeah.
- 22:59Speaker 3: That'd piss me off. I would be so pissed.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Why?
- 23:04Speaker 3: I hate primetime games. I hate the wait. I hate
- 23:07Speaker 3: all of that. I want my games to go. I
- 23:10Speaker 3: want to get my emotions out of the way.
- 23:11Speaker 1: I love primetime. I absolutely... It's my favorite thing to do. Primetime. So, yeah.
- 23:19Speaker 3: So, Vic, they play... The Australia game, obviously, Monday night,
- 23:24Speaker 3: Sunday night against the Broncos, 11 a.m. against the Eagles
- 23:27Speaker 3: the week after that, and then they're back on, is
- 23:31Speaker 3: it Monday night football again? It's another night game at 6.15.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the networks just scooped them up and said, prime time.
- 23:37Speaker 2: And they get to pick. Hey, there's a little bit
- 23:41Speaker 2: of a tidbit from Will Lutz last week.
- 23:43Speaker 1: We're ready for prime time. What do you say?
- 23:45Speaker 2: All right, hey. Do you realize last week that Will
- 23:48Speaker 2: Lutz became the third kicker to convert to 100 consecutive
- 23:53Speaker 2: PATs since the extra point was moved back in 2015.
- 23:55Speaker 1: You just jinxed him.
- 23:59Speaker 2: I don't believe in that crap. He joins Tyler Bass
- 24:01Speaker 2: and Justin Tucker.
- 24:03Speaker 3: As what?
- 24:03Speaker 2: What was it?
- 24:04Speaker 3: 100 what?
- 24:04Speaker 2: 100 straight PATs since it was moved back in 2015.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Third kicker to do it.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Did you notice that Buffalo kicker, how low he kicked
- 24:12Speaker 1: his extra points last night? It was like starting to
- 24:14Speaker 1: bother me. And they always bent.
- 24:16Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 24:16Speaker 3: It always looked like it was going at the upright
- 24:19Speaker 3: and then last second would shoot over.
- 24:20Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 24:25Speaker 1: What is this?
- 24:25Speaker 2: What are we looking for here?
- 24:26Speaker 5: This was the beat that ass game. Oh, September 19th, 2021. Wow.
- 24:31Speaker 2: That's five years ago.
- 24:33Speaker 5: And the Broncos won 23 to 13.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Wow.
- 24:37Speaker 8: Wow, bro.
- 24:39Speaker 3: So that was Russell Wilson's first year.
- 24:42Speaker 2: And then the London game versus the Jags was in 2023,
- 24:45Speaker 2: but that's a different Jacksonville team.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Wow.
- 24:49Speaker 3: This is Travis Hunter's first return to Denver to actually play,
- 24:52Speaker 3: by the way. They played here last year, obviously, but
- 24:55Speaker 3: he was not active and in the lineup. He will
- 24:57Speaker 3: be playing. Interesting how they're using him. I know they've
- 25:02Speaker 3: made him more of a corner now, and that's sort
- 25:05Speaker 3: of his permanent spot. I wonder if they're going to
- 25:07Speaker 3: drop some plays for Travis Hunter on offense.
- 25:11Speaker 2: He is listed on the depth chart as a backup wideout.
- 25:16Speaker 3: They draw some packages for him. They did it in
- 25:20Speaker 3: the first week, too.
- 25:21Speaker 1: Why are people so fascinated by that?
- 25:23Speaker 2: By what?
- 25:24Speaker 1: Just the dual threat stuff.
- 25:29Speaker 7: For the same reason we're fascinated by Shohei? Like, guys
- 25:32Speaker 7: don't do it.
- 25:33Speaker 1: I know, but I mean, it's always a topic. Travis
- 25:37Speaker 1: Hunter's a good football player. Let him, like, learn the
- 25:40Speaker 1: next level before they.
- 25:42Speaker 2: They try to push him to that too quickly, is
- 25:44Speaker 2: what I'm saying. It's like, you.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Get to the next level, learn a position, then maybe
- 25:49Speaker 1: make the move.
- 25:49Speaker 2: I'm a little curious, though... Jacoby Myers is banged up.
- 25:53Speaker 2: He was limited in practice. Brian Thomas Jr. banged up,
- 25:57Speaker 2: limited in practice. If one or both of those guys
- 26:01Speaker 2: could not go, do you elevate Travis Hunter to a
- 26:09Speaker 2: bigger role?
- 26:10Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 26:11Speaker 2: That would be very interesting.
- 26:14Speaker 3: But it is weird in like, How much can you
- 26:18Speaker 3: really spend time practicing within a game plan, get chemistry
- 26:21Speaker 3: with your quarterback, if you aren't doing that during the
- 26:23Speaker 3: week because you're playing defense?
- 26:26Speaker 1: And so much of it is chemistry.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:28Speaker 2: It really is.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Knowing where the guy's going to be, knowing leverage on
- 26:32Speaker 1: a DB. And that's why, give it some time. I
- 26:36Speaker 1: think it was ill-fated to expect Travis to walk in
- 26:39Speaker 1: his rookie season and dominate both sides of the line
- 26:42Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Crying out loud.
- 26:44Speaker 3: The weird thing about him, though, is he legitimately was
- 26:46Speaker 3: a guy that could have been a top 10 pick
- 26:48Speaker 3: at corner or wide receiver if he just did one
- 26:51Speaker 3: of those. You know what I mean? How many times
- 26:53Speaker 3: did Travis Hunter outjump everybody in high point of football
- 26:57Speaker 3: and come down with it? Like, he's that talented at both.
- 27:02Speaker 3: I just wonder if they got something drawn up. By
- 27:03Speaker 3: the way, here's a.
- 27:04Speaker 1: Well, he's gotten big, too. Have you seen his biceps
- 27:07Speaker 1: and his upper body?
- 27:08Speaker 3: Well, he had to.
- 27:09Speaker 1: Yeah. Swolled up. He went full Mosier.
- 27:13Speaker 3: This from Chris Thomason. According to pro football reference, Broncos
- 27:16Speaker 3: wide receiver Marvin Mims now has the highest punt return
- 27:19Speaker 3: average in the history of the NFL. He's reached the
- 27:22Speaker 3: minimum number for it, which is 75 career attempts. So
- 27:25Speaker 3: he's at 76. He has an average of 15.9 yards
- 27:28Speaker 3: per return. The second closest is Marcus Jones at 14.3.
- 27:34Speaker 3: I always have a question about this stuff. I know
- 27:37Speaker 3: that the return game is valuable. How much value do
- 27:40Speaker 3: you put on the return game? Because I'll tell you
- 27:43Speaker 3: where teams are kind of at this now. You used
- 27:47Speaker 3: to have a dedicated spot on your roster to a
- 27:51Speaker 3: guy whose sole job was to return kicks and didn't
- 27:54Speaker 3: play another position. Devin Hester didn't have a position. Dante
- 27:59Speaker 3: Hall didn't have a position. Okay, they were listed as
- 28:01Speaker 3: wide receivers or whatever. They didn't play.
- 28:03Speaker 7: They were return men. How much do teams actually value
- 28:08Speaker 7: that now?
- 28:09Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
- 28:10Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 28:11Speaker 7: 16 yards per return is a crazy number.
- 28:14Speaker 3: Think about it.
- 28:15Speaker 7: 50-yard punt, you return it 16 yards.
- 28:17Speaker 3: It's 34 net. But how much do they really care?
- 28:22Speaker 3: Mims at least has some ability to be within the offense. Now,
- 28:25Speaker 3: he's still dealing with that injury that he missed a
- 28:29Speaker 3: little bit of the game, came back on the sideline.
- 28:31Speaker 2: He did not practice yesterday. And R.J. Harvey was limited.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Just like the two wideouts for the... for the Jaguars. So,
- 28:41Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's probably got a little bump here or there,
- 28:44Speaker 2: but if Mims didn't practice yesterday, would he play on Sunday?
- 28:49Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 28:51Speaker 2: I mean, he'd have to get out there today.
- 28:55Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 28:56Speaker 3: So we have Mark Long coming up at 9 o'clock.
- 29:01Speaker 3: I do want to play this for a couple of minutes,
- 29:02Speaker 3: and I said that I'm going to be done with this,
- 29:05Speaker 3: but I just want to get your thoughts on what
- 29:08Speaker 3: you– What's your first reaction is upon hearing this? This
- 29:12Speaker 3: is Peyton Watson in Cleveland talking about coming to the Cavs.
- 29:17Speaker 10: It was a really, really, like you said, up and
- 29:19Speaker 10: down season for our entire group. Just being able to
- 29:24Speaker 10: come in and step up and be somebody who was
- 29:27Speaker 10: a big part of the reason why we were successful
- 29:29Speaker 10: during that stretch is something that I hold dearly because
- 29:33Speaker 10: it was an experience for me where I got to,
- 29:37Speaker 10: you know, once again, prove people wrong a little bit
- 29:40Speaker 10: about me. Not only me, but the team as well.
- 29:42Speaker 10: I think a lot of people looked at us as
- 29:44Speaker 10: a team that would completely just plummet as soon as
- 29:47Speaker 10: we lost our best player. And I think that was just,
- 29:50Speaker 10: you know, really big ups to the guys who stepped up.
- 29:53Speaker 10: Not only myself, but everybody else who played a part
- 29:56Speaker 10: in helping us win during that stretch.
- 29:58Speaker 3: What do you think of that? that the Nuggets were
- 30:00Speaker 3: viewed as a team that would plummet if Jokic was
- 30:02Speaker 3: off the floor.
- 30:04Speaker 1: It's a fact.
- 30:05Speaker 3: I know, but he... Isn't it still a fact? Isn't
- 30:09Speaker 3: it still?
- 30:09Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure what you're trying to
- 30:11Speaker 1: get at there with that quote.
- 30:13Speaker 10: Me?
- 30:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Oh, no, I'm saying he's acting as if Jokic leaving
- 30:19Speaker 3: the floor doesn't make the team plummet. I'm like, that
- 30:22Speaker 3: still was a thing. I mean, still did. They won
- 30:27Speaker 3: more games than I thought they would. I give them
- 30:29Speaker 3: that credit.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Hey, the most remarkable thing that happened last year and
- 30:33Speaker 1: something that gives me hope for the Nuggets, something that
- 30:35Speaker 1: really does give me hope, is the fact that they
- 30:38Speaker 1: survived a month without Nikola Jokic and went 10-6 without him. Now,
- 30:44Speaker 1: you can go back and say, the schedule wasn't that hard.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Or you can go back and say, yeah, but it's
- 30:50Speaker 1: that late January schedule before the All-Star game. It doesn't
- 30:54Speaker 1: matter what you say. They went 10-6 without him. They
- 30:57Speaker 1: had a winning month without him, and nobody would have
- 31:01Speaker 1: predicted that.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Driving the kids to practice, running errands around town, whatever
- 31:05Speaker 3: your Saturday looks like, take Altitude Sports Radio with you.

- 31:32Speaker 3: Springer and Tanner.
- 31:32Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the Florida-Georgia line?
- 31:38Speaker 3: Where the panhandle meets State of Georgia?
- 31:41Speaker 1: No, the line. Have you ever been on the Florida-Georgia line?
- 31:44Speaker 1: I have not. Mojo, have you ever been on the
- 31:45Speaker 1: Florida-Georgia line?
- 31:46Speaker 6: Yes.
- 31:48Speaker 1: What's there?
- 31:48Speaker 3: A bunch of trees.
- 31:55Speaker 2: What do you mean, what's there? What are you talking about?
- 31:59Speaker 2: I've gone from Savannah, Georgia, down into Florida, and all
- 32:02Speaker 2: the way up to Charleston, South Carolina.
- 32:04Speaker 3: You're a banana guy?
- 32:06Speaker 8: No.
- 32:07Speaker 2: No, I do love Savannah, Georgia, though, but I am
- 32:08Speaker 2: not a banana guy.
- 32:10Speaker 1: What was the cannonball run route?
- 32:13Speaker 2: That was New York to L.A.
- 32:17Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought they were down south.
- 32:20Speaker 3: All right, Grandpa, let's get you to bed.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, next.
- 32:22Speaker 2: Florida, Georgia land.
- 32:28Speaker 3: I hate this genre of music.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Well, this is Florida Georgia Line.
- 32:33Speaker 3: No, I know it is, but it's that sort of pop, country, rap,
- 32:42Speaker 3: all of this kind of rolled into one thing. I
- 32:44Speaker 3: don't like it.
- 32:44Speaker 2: I can't be the only one.
- 32:45Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, stories around sports that we feel
- 32:49Speaker 3: like you should be aware of.
- 32:50Speaker 2: It just popped in my head. Have you guys ever
- 32:52Speaker 2: heard the number one country song mashup?
- 32:56Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, where it's from, like, 2013 or 14.
- 32:59Speaker 2: Where every song is the same song. Yeah. And they
- 33:03Speaker 2: all went to number one, but it's virtually the same
- 33:06Speaker 2: freaking song, and then, dude, he overlays them all, all, like, six,
- 33:10Speaker 2: seven songs at the end. He overlays them all, and
- 33:13Speaker 2: then it's the same song, bro.
- 33:15Speaker 3: I'm a very anti, like.
- 33:19Speaker 3: I don't like Mad Libs country music. You know what
- 33:23Speaker 3: I'm talking about?
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yep.
- 33:24Speaker 4: Where it's like, beer, girls, girls, beer, God, troops.
- 33:28Speaker 3: I'll give you the perfect example, and I know he's
- 33:30Speaker 3: a buddy of Sean Payton's. Can't stand Kenny Chesney. He's
- 33:36Speaker 3: got that one song, drink a beer, buy a boat,
- 33:39Speaker 3: get your truck in, find your dog's, Get a girl. Moonlight.
- 33:44Speaker 3: That whole song where it's just like whatever country term
- 33:47Speaker 3: that he could throw in a chorus over and over
- 33:49Speaker 3: and over and over again.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Okay, so you're going to stack on Kenny Chesney, but
- 33:53Speaker 2: Billy Joel's, the dumbest song ever written. Whatever comes to mind,
- 34:02Speaker 2: it freaking sucks.
- 34:03Speaker 7: Why are you saying that like that's my favorite song?
- 34:06Speaker 3: I don't like that song either.
- 34:07Speaker 2: That song sucks so bad. And people love it. And
- 34:13Speaker 2: I just got to question the sanity of these people.
- 34:16Speaker 3: Chicken nugget.
- 34:18Speaker 2: Here's a pen. Headphones in. There's a cup.
- 34:22Speaker 4: It's like Christ almighty.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Why listen to gangster rap?
- 34:25Speaker 3: Here's a pen headphones in. I actually think that's pretty good.
- 34:30Speaker 3: I would listen to Mosher's version.
- 34:31Speaker 7: Mosher, you do a version of that song, and I
- 34:33Speaker 7: would listen.
- 34:34Speaker 2: TV microphone, there is a chalkboard. Look at this computer screen. Hey,
- 34:39Speaker 2: there's a camera there. I mean, that's the whole freaking song.
- 34:42Speaker 2: I hate it. And anybody who likes that song is
- 34:45Speaker 2: an enemy to me. An absolute death to his part enemy.
- 34:49Speaker 3: Hang on, do it. It's like Brick in Anchorman, the
- 34:53Speaker 3: I love lamp thing.
- 34:54Speaker 1: It's just whatever.
- 34:55Speaker 3: He's... Give me one more. I want one more. Do
- 34:58Speaker 3: one more for me.
- 34:58Speaker 2: I can't anymore, man.
- 35:00Speaker 3: I'm just going to start holding things up and you
- 35:02Speaker 3: just make the song about it. Here you go.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Hammer and a lighter there. Disinfecting wipes right there.
- 35:08Speaker 3: Look, extra pest right there.
- 35:09Speaker 1: Oh my God, a microphone.
- 35:11Speaker 8: It's just.
- 35:15Speaker 2: God, I hate that song. And you're stacking on Kenny Chesney?
- 35:18Speaker 2: It's the same thing! We're way off topic here. Let
- 35:21Speaker 2: me get started.
- 35:21Speaker 1: What do you mean?
- 35:22Speaker 3: It's Oh, By The Way. We do what we want.
- 35:23Speaker 2: Hey, Oh, By The Way, is this a possibility, Vic, Brett?
- 35:27Speaker 2: And I know you're a big Lane Kiffin guy.
- 35:30Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Did anybody see Sam Levitt get injured last weekend over
- 35:34Speaker 2: Louisiana Tech?
- 35:35Speaker 1: No, I didn't see the injury.
- 35:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't either. Brett, did you see it?
- 35:38Speaker 3: I did not.
- 35:40Speaker 2: And he's just been upgraded to questionable. Is it possible
- 35:45Speaker 2: that Lane Kiffin is pulling a big old mind blank?
- 35:49Speaker 2: Is it possible on his trip back to Oxford, he's
- 35:52Speaker 2: just absolutely screwing with Ole Miss?
- 35:56Speaker 3: Levitt today is listed as bleep you. How's that sound?
- 36:01Speaker 3: I suppose, but isn't there penalties for that? If somebody
- 36:05Speaker 3: finds out what you're doing? You can't fake like somebody
- 36:09Speaker 3: has an injury.
- 36:10Speaker 1: Yeah, there's betting lines at stake here.
- 36:12Speaker 3: You can't fake when somebody is not healthy. You can't
- 36:15Speaker 3: pretend they are. You can be punished for that. I
- 36:19Speaker 3: know the NFL is really punitive.
- 36:21Speaker 2: About that stuff. Maybe he stubbed his toe on the
- 36:23Speaker 2: way to the urinal and they enlisted. I don't know.
- 36:27Speaker 2: I think there's a possibility that old Sam Levitt's okay.
- 36:32Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, we've debated a ton about the
- 36:36Speaker 1: NFL going to Australia to play that division rivalry game
- 36:39Speaker 1: to start the season I think it's widely assumed the
- 36:43Speaker 1: coaches don't like it and now it's cats out of
- 36:46Speaker 1: the bag Sean McVay was asked about it quote we're
- 36:50Speaker 1: not playing in Australia ever again I hope oh.
- 36:54Speaker 3: We got it for you Vic here you go.
- 36:56Speaker 6: I just want to see us be present right now
- 36:58Speaker 6: and move forward you know that That game is so far,
- 37:01Speaker 6: it's almost like you try to do the men in
- 37:02Speaker 6: black thing where you say, all right, hey, I don't
- 37:04Speaker 6: remember what happened. That was so long ago. We're not
- 37:08Speaker 6: playing in Australia ever again, I hope.
- 37:10Speaker 2: All right?
- 37:10Speaker 6: So, you know, not because it wasn't a great atmosphere.
- 37:14Speaker 6: That'll get taken out of context. Bottom line is, is
- 37:16Speaker 6: I like the way that I feel of our preparation,
- 37:19Speaker 6: eyes moving forward, chest out, you know, chin up.
- 37:21Speaker 1: I don't blame him one bit. I still consider that
- 37:26Speaker 1: game a complete, I mean, it was stupid. It was
- 37:29Speaker 1: stupid to put a game on the other side of
- 37:30Speaker 1: the globe. A game of that meaning, that magnitude. It's dumb.
- 37:34Speaker 4: I agree.
- 37:36Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, let me show you something that
- 37:39Speaker 3: happened in the CFL.
- 37:41Speaker 2: There was no.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Penalties on either one of these plays, but twice during
- 37:45Speaker 3: this CFL game, there was a player, a BC Lions
- 37:51Speaker 3: defensive back, was suspended for two games after striking this
- 37:56Speaker 3: member of the Montreal Alouettes. in the groin multiple times
- 38:01Speaker 3: during this game. So as you can see right here,
- 38:03Speaker 3: here's one punch, bam. And later in the game, it
- 38:07Speaker 3: goes to number two, which is a full windup and bam.
- 38:09Speaker 3: And you might think to yourself, okay, well, that's pretty dirty.
- 38:13Speaker 3: Here's the problem. This player of the Montreal Alouettes, according
- 38:19Speaker 3: to Three Down Nation, Liam Talbot received two blows to
- 38:24Speaker 3: the groin during special teams plays. Neither were penalized by officials.
- 38:28Speaker 3: The damage from the blows was so severe that Talbot
- 38:31Speaker 3: needed surgery that has been described as life-altering and will
- 38:36Speaker 3: end his season.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Oh my God.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Goodness gracious.
- 38:40Speaker 1: What the hell's going on?
- 38:41Speaker 7: How does a guy get suspended for two games for that?
- 38:46Speaker 3: Feels like not a steep enough punishment. What in the world?
- 38:54Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I can imagine what life altering
- 38:59Speaker 2: seemingly is like.
- 39:01Speaker 3: Yeah, no kidding.
- 39:04Speaker 7: Also, oh, by the way, unless you got one. Nelly,
- 39:07Speaker 7: how about you?
- 39:08Speaker 2: I got one.
- 39:08Speaker 7: We skipped Nelly yesterday.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Nelly, go ahead.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Okay.
- 39:11Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, do you guys think you can
- 39:13Speaker 5: teach me how to golf sufficiently in the next week
- 39:16Speaker 5: or so?
- 39:16Speaker 2: No.
- 39:16Speaker 3: Nope.
- 39:17Speaker 8: No.
- 39:17Speaker 5: Well, I need you to try because Taco Bell is
- 39:20Speaker 5: having their inaugural Live Moss Open this year. It's going
- 39:24Speaker 5: to be a golf tournament that pits regular people against
- 39:27Speaker 5: streamers and celebrities.
- 39:28Speaker 4: It's all going to be hosted by. Kevin Hart.
- 39:31Speaker 5: And they are allowing nine people to qualify to be
- 39:34Speaker 5: placed on these teams. And what's at stake? If you
- 39:38Speaker 5: win the tournament, your group... can pick a discontinued Taco
- 39:44Speaker 5: Bell item that they will bring back to menus in 2027. Oh,
- 39:47Speaker 5: that's rad! There's a lot at stake here, and I
- 39:51Speaker 5: really need you guys to help me brush up on
- 39:53Speaker 5: my swing so I can bring back the Volcano Burrito.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Not sure there's anything worse than watching a golfer who's
- 40:01Speaker 1: never golfed try to golf. It's hard to watch. Trust me,
- 40:06Speaker 1: I play with my brother. It's not an easy thing.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Well, the bigger problem is When somebody who has literally
- 40:13Speaker 3: never swung a golf club before.
- 40:16Speaker 2: Swinged?
- 40:17Speaker 7: I corrected myself. Looks at you and goes, what am
- 40:21Speaker 7: I doing wrong?
- 40:22Speaker 3: And you're like, everything.
- 40:23Speaker 2: You don't even know where to start.
- 40:24Speaker 3: There's no helping here. You're just going to have to
- 40:26Speaker 3: work at it. Go ahead, Vic. You said you had something?
- 40:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I got one.
- 40:31Speaker 1: Going back to soccer and how we build the U.S.
- 40:33Speaker 1: soccer team into something great. There's this 19-year-old kid named
- 40:37Speaker 1: Nokai Banks. He's a great defender. He's born in Hawaii. Well,
- 40:43Speaker 1: he's no longer a member of the U.S.
- 40:45Speaker 10: Team.
- 40:45Speaker 1: He's been called up by Germany's under-21 team. So Germany
- 40:50Speaker 1: won the race for this guy's talents. No, Kai Banks.
- 40:54Speaker 1: I just, I struggle to understand.
- 40:56Speaker 2: How does he play for Germany if he's born in Hawaii?
- 40:58Speaker 1: Okay, well, here's why.
- 40:59Speaker 2: Here's why.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Here's how it works. Upon further review, his dad is American.
- 41:06Speaker 1: His mother is Spanish-German. which allows him to qualify for
- 41:12Speaker 1: the German team. How many different nationalities? Like I got most,
- 41:18Speaker 1: don't you have like seven nationalities flowing in your family?
- 41:20Speaker 2: Uh, don't you have a few of those? Yeah. My
- 41:24Speaker 2: grandmother's a full blood Swede. So I'm 25% that Swiss.
- 41:28Speaker 2: So some French in.
- 41:29Speaker 1: There, some, are you allowed to claim anything that's in
- 41:31Speaker 1: your bloodstream? I mean, we're, I, I always.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Talk about this.
- 41:35Speaker 3: It's, you gotta judo or karate, pick one. You know
- 41:39Speaker 3: what I mean?
- 41:40Speaker 7: Like, Just choose one thing.
- 41:43Speaker 2: Choose one thing.
- 41:44Speaker 3: Wasn't it Embiid could have chosen to play for Cameroon
- 41:47Speaker 3: for France or.
- 41:48Speaker 1: The U.S.? Yes, and he chose the U.S.
- 41:50Speaker 3: Where's France coming from? Look, man, when I moved to Michigan,
- 41:57Speaker 3: I was there for six months. I don't consider myself
- 42:01Speaker 3: like I was a Michigander. I was there for six months,
- 42:05Speaker 3: and then I was gone forever. Here in Nebraska are
- 42:08Speaker 3: two places I've lived. That's where I've lived, okay? And
- 42:12Speaker 3: what they're doing, like, oh, did you have a three-week
- 42:15Speaker 3: stay at a Marriott in Paris? Welcome, French man.
- 42:20Speaker 2: So let me get this straight. The Germans go, like
- 42:24Speaker 2: this kid. Yeah, he's so good.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so they claimed him.
- 42:29Speaker 2: Yeah, so they go, find out where his mom's from.
- 42:34Speaker 2: And then you just get to keep, you get to
- 42:35Speaker 2: have him? Yeah. Yeah. Is that why Joe Smith was
- 42:38Speaker 2: playing on the Italian baseball team? Yeah.
- 42:40Speaker 3: My brother did the whole DNA thing, whatever Mosier did,
- 42:44Speaker 3: that I'll never do. Send my DNA to somebody I
- 42:48Speaker 3: don't know in a lab that I don't know what
- 42:50Speaker 3: they're doing with it.
- 42:51Speaker 2: So if your brother committed no crimes, you already did it.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Exactly. And what I found out, I didn't know this.
- 42:56Speaker 3: I just thought we were mostly German with some Irish.
- 42:59Speaker 3: He said, we're actually like mostly Russian.
- 43:01Speaker 2: It's like, oh. Gotcha.
- 43:03Speaker 3: But at that time, it's like Russia had so much
- 43:06Speaker 3: land that it either bordered on Germany or was like
- 43:09Speaker 3: a part of Germany, and then they just kind of like, yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 1: You must finish this segment with a Russian accent now.
- 43:13Speaker 3: All right, hang on, hang on.
- 43:15Speaker 2: That's what you are. You got to be who you are. Dude,
- 43:18Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Italian baseball team. This cracks me up.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Andrew Fisher. Alex Jacob.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Be who you are, my friend.
- 43:28Speaker 3: Why can I not think of a Russian accent right now?
- 43:31Speaker 1: Just think of the movie Rounders.
- 43:33Speaker 4: The Comrade Kane.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's right. We come to Germany to take.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Some of these women. It sounded Italian at the beginning there.
- 43:43Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Why can't I do a Russian right now?
- 43:45Speaker 2: You know who does a great, great, great Russian accent?
- 43:47Speaker 3: I don't want to go Teddy KGB. That's like a
- 43:49Speaker 3: very specific Russian.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Conor McGehee does a tremendous Russian accent. Tremendous.
- 43:57Speaker 4: Well, here you go, Brett.
- 43:58Speaker 5: I'll bump you out with some music here that might
- 43:59Speaker 5: actually help you get your accent going.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Oh, God dang it. Jerk.
- 44:07Speaker 3: Mark Long of the AP joins us next.
