• 0:46
  Speaker 1: gave us in the update? Just read it the way
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you read it during the update. Taylor has some thoughts

• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, I would be delighted to.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Hang on.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Let me get into character.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Authoritative.

  Speaker 4: Walter Cronkite. Peter Jennings.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Vanity Fair today published an excerpt of a new book
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: about LSU head coach Lane Kiffin. The excerpt covered his
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: time as Alabama's offensive coordinator in which then head coach
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Nick Saban told a staff member regarding Kiffin, quote, keep
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: him away from the sorority girls. Make sure they've graduated
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: college or are working a job, unquote. An associate of
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: Kiffin's also said a local bar owner called him and said, quote,
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: your boy Lane's back in here asking where the hotties are, unquote.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Taylor, what are we doing with Lane Kiffin where we're
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: reporting every possible detail in this man's life?
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Sue him. He asked where the hotties are at.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We're not liking him and we're making money off of him.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That's what people are doing with Lane Kiffin.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Listen, I know people are going to call me a
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: lane defender and, and yes, I am a lane defender.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I'm a, I'm a go Tigers through and through. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: want Lane Kiffin to succeed at LSU because I know
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: what it means for college football. Sue the man. If
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: he's going around asking where the hotties are.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Or divorce them.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a whole different story. I do not condone that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: That's where you draw the line?
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: What are we doing with Lane Kiffin? Lane Kiffin is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: doing it to himself. He has made himself, I mean,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he's taken one of the biggest jobs in America. He
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: left the playoff team to take over a head coaching
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: position at LSU. And he has put an end, through
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: his actions and his words, has put himself in the spotlight.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That's where he wants to be. And when you put
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: yourself in the spotlight, people start reporting stuff.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Listen, but we know Lane Kiffin is a menace.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: And at LSU, I hate to say this, but at LSU,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: it's almost expected from your football coaches. Brian Kelly was
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the one who kind of broke the mold of not
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: being a menace.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll, Taylor. Would you want Lane
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Kiffin to be your head coach? Yes or no?
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Because, man, you're going to win some games.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You're going to win some games. You're going to have
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: reports like the one we just heard. What are my expectations?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The expectations are high because Lane makes them high. I mean,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: they're high expectations, of course.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Would you want them?
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but it depends. Like, if I'm at Alabama where
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: the expectation is, is to win the national title every year,
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: then no, I probably don't want him, because Lane's.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Never done that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: But if my expectations are, hey, make the playoff, win
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: some games, be interesting, hell yeah, I want Lane Kiffin.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: I think the thing that comes with Lane Kiffin is
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: when he becomes your head coach, you do kind of
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: turn a blind eye, because we have T-Bob Hebert on,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: and T-Bob has kind of said before, he's going to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: defend Lane Kiffin until he's not his head coach anymore.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: And history has shown you, Lane Kiffin is going to
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: leave LSU, and when he does, he's going to leave
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: a trail of fire behind him.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Mikey, you made a face there when he tried to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: pronounce T-Bob. It's an easy word to pronounce.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. but Taylor's finding out that he's talking too
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: much in too many places. I'm in my own head, right?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I got the yips. This is like, this is like
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: when George Lombard from the Yankee shortstop had six errors
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: in six consecutive games. And they were like, nobody's had
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: six errors in six consecutive games for Yankee shortstop since
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Roger Peckinpah. That's me right now. I got the yips.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And we'll get to why he has the yips in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: a second, but you're right. It's like a baseball hitter.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And he's in a slump and he finally gets that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: meatball and he still misses it because T-Bob is that meatball.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, It's T-Bob.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Roger Peckinpah is such a great baseball name. From the early...
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Do you call him T-Bag? From the early 1910s.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: What's the name?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Roger Peckinpah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Is that a great baseball name?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to try to pronounce it. This is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: why Taylor has the yips. This happened yesterday towards the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: end of the show.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: To get the all boat... The all boat.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It still hurts.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: That's me trying to say the old ball coach.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: To get the all boat. Thank you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You're reeling. You're in a slump.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: You got a little porky pig there in the middle.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: How many people did you hear from once they heard that?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Because I find that more people comment on my mistakes.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: than they do on anything I have to say where
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Make a mistake.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a lot of people just checking in,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: trying to get a state of the union from me,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: just saying, hey, is everything okay? And I'm like, yeah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I'm just fighting through this right now. Got to get
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: to the other side of this slump.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I am told here, Mikey, let's see if it's as
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: bad as we thought it was. This is very quick work.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: They turned it around quickly. This is Taylor trying to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: say T-Bob.
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: Because we have T-Bob A-Bear on, and T-Bob... t-bag a
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: bear i think i said t-bear yeah i think you
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: were headed towards bag let's.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Hear it one more time because we we have t-bear
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: we have t-bob a bear on yes and i'm just
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: not seeing the ball well.
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: Right now it's okay taylor like lombard i come up
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: as this great exciting prospect right and then you put
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: me out there and you're saying the one thing we
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: don't have to worry about george lombard jr is his
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: defense and then all of a sudden I become a
• 6:21
  Speaker 10: liability to the show.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Shake it off, kid.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Chuck Knobloch growing pains.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But you're one good joke away from being back. That's
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the beauty of talking. So the Seattle Seahawks owner, the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: new owner, what's his name? Do we know the name
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of this of this owner? We're the Super Bowl champion
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks that no one is taking seriously, mostly me,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: by saying they're not going to make it to the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: playoffs this year.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know his name, but we do have sound.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: This is the new Seahawks owner.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: This is not the way you want to start your
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: ownership of a brand new NFL team.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Here's what he had to say during his opening press conference.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Also, I happened to come to this country in 76
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl. So actually,
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: I was originally and still am a big Steelers fan. Also,
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: a little known fact, but I still watch all the
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Steelers games, too.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Keep that fact to yourself.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: His name is V-Node. Again, when you're in a slump,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: this is not the name you want when you're in
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: a slump.
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: You don't want to see Pedro, Randy Johnson out there
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: when you're in a slump.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but try to thunder through it and see if
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you get your confidence back. Let's go.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: V-Node, Kosla. No, that can't be right.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not... Wow.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It's not like any of us would know. I mean.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Who rang the bell?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: He knows.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Mikey, how would you feel about the Jets owner if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we had a new owner?
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: And Lord knows, I wish we did. But if he
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: stepped up to the podium. Stop.
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: I already like him.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: He's new.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: I already like him.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but if he acknowledges he's a fan of another
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: team that he doesn't own.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: You're not Woody Johnson. Welcome. Welcome to the family.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: And I wouldn't blame those Steelers.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But when you're the Seattle.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Owner and you're coming off a Super Bowl victory, you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: can come to the podium and say little known fact.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: And why would we know it? Little known fact. I'm
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a Steelers fan.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: You could see the other people in this press conference
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: when he says it. The people behind him are like wincing, like, oh, no,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I can't believe he just said that. There's like one
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: thing you can't say as an owner.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: And it's I root for another team because now people
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: are thinking. Steeler Seahawks Super Bowl.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Who is he rooting for?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Secretly, who is he rooting for? Publicly, we know he's
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: rooting for Seahawks.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: How about any trade made between the Steelers and the Seahawks?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You start to wonder. That's why you got to keep
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: these things quiet. Who does he root for? Publicly, he'll
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: say Seattle. He's the owner of the Seahawks.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: But privately, when he's alone with the family, they're all
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Steeler fans.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: They have the terrible towels. They've been going to games forever.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: They love Mean Joe Green. They love Jack Hamm. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: love Terry Bradshaw. They love the Steelers.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Louie Lips.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to rattle off Steeler names for the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: rest of time. But secretly, they're all saying, let's go Steelers, right?
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: If you're a Steeler fan, you're a Steeler fan.
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: I mean.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Is that fair?
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I think he's 1,000% rooting for the Steelers because when
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: he's talking about his Steelers fandom, you could hear the
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: joy coming through. And that joy that you hear him
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: talking about his Steelers fandom, that doesn't really go away.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I know when you buy a team, you become part
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: of that team, but your fandom doesn't really just go away.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: No.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Seattle will forever be business to him while Steelers are
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: his heart.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: Pleasure.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: He's going to forever be... like, hey, listen, I hope
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Seattle does well because I want to make money. This
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: is my business.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: But I'm a Steelers fan. That's a bad look.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: But it seems to me like he wishes he was
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the Steelers owner and not the Seahawks owner.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Just couldn't get the.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Right price for Pittsburgh.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: The family wouldn't sell.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Darn Roonies. Yes.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: I want to hear the sound again. Listen to him
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: laugh at himself, and he's the only one laughing.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Also, I happened to come to this country in 76
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl. So, actually,
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: I was originally and still am a big Steelers fan. Also,
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: little known fact, but I still watch all the Steelers games, too.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: This sound also just goes to show you how disconnected
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: billionaires are from the casual sports fans. Yes. Casual sports
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: fans would never even... This thought would never even cross
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: their mind. Like, if I gave you $ 3 billion, Stu,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: to buy a team and you went out and bought
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: a team, like, let's say in baseball you bought the
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Rays. At your press conference, you know for
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: certain you would not say, hey, I grew up a
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Mets fan. I'm still rooting for the Mets.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Right, you can't say it. You just can't, right.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: But when you're so, like, disconnected from reality with all
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: these people and their billions of dollars... You don't even
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: think about trying to relate to the common man.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: No, I'm not even okay with him saying, Hey, when
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I came to this country, I rooted for the Steelers,
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: but now my soul phone, you know, like you have to,
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: you have to draw a line where there was the
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: previous me who liked the Steelers and the new me
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: who likes the Seahawks.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: So we're asking them not to be honest. And that's
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: part of what being an owner is all about, is
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: to lie. Right?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Take a page out of Lane Kiffin's book.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: What are you doing to Lane Kiffin?
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I love Lane Kiffin.
• 11:50

• 11:58
  Speaker 3: He feels better.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: It's either leaving.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: No, it's either. He makes a good joke. He gets
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: out of his slump or someone else does something worse.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: And I just did it. And now he feels better
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: about himself. Damn.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I do feel better about myself. This just goes to
• 12:14

• 12:59
  Speaker 8: you got two great producers right there. Those guys are
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: all timers. Just like you. It was like you carried
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: levitard all those years. If it was a concert for
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: a 50th birthday for you, you'd invite all your friends
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: to a dead concert, but you wouldn't pay.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think I, no, no, no, I'm torn on
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: this because I don't think I would inconvenience my friends
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: by making them go to a concert they don't want
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to go to just because it's my 50th birthday, you know?
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: All right, all right, all right. Next topic is, you know,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: I'm biracial. When I lived in South Florida, everybody spoke
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: Spanish to me, and claro, yo hablo espanol, but now
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: I live up here in Maine, and it's all English.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: They think I'm a farmer with a tan around here,
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: all right? Mm-hmm, yep. And then congrats to Dominique keeping
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: him around, and... Atta boy. And let's talk about this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Can the Red Sox take care of pitchers? I mean,
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: look at Chris Dale after he left. Crochet when he
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: went there. I feel like they've pushed guys up so fast.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: And their innings pitched, they don't let them, like, slowly
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: make their way up. Look at our Mets. And, like,
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: you know, McQueen pitched over 100 innings twice in the minors.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: And, you know.
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: Look at what they're doing to Peyton Tolles now. And
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: then he's good, but he's in Tanner House. He's on
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: the IL after pitching a great season in crochet. Now
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: he's out right now with a sore shoulder. And I've
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: had a sore shoulder for 10 years. That's the way
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: I work every day.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, but you don't pitch for a living.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: You just compare yourself to one of the people in
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: the Red Sox rotation?
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Listen, I get paid a lot less money to show
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: up to work than they do. And if you look
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: at pitchers now, compared to old school pitchers, you think
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: Johnny Smoltz was saying, I got a sore shoulder, I
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: can't pitch for an entire season? You think Maddox said that?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Well, Maddox didn't throw hard enough. I believe Smoltz did
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: miss an entire season. I could be wrong on that,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but yes.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: He got hurt, and they made him a closer. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: think they should make crochet back to a closer. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, right now, they make so much money
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: in baseball, and... there's no reason to push yourself because
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: you're already making generational wealth. It's not like the guy
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: that was a, you can't say they're a plumber off season,
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: but a guy making a modest living, Nolan Ryan being
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: a major leaguer. And like now these guys make so
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: much money, they're afraid to get it.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, is that it?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. He said, look at the Mets.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I'd rather look at the Red Sox. The Red Sox
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: seem to be doing just fine. Where was he all July?
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Sports radio.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: Where was he all July, all of early August when
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: we could have used him? Thank you for the compliment,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: by the way.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: To me, he gave me a compliment.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: He gave Mikey and Sam one.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: And I was saying he left Taylor out. I mean,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: do you feel left out?
• 15:54
  Speaker 11: No. No.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: Play it out.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: I could have got into that Ryan Weathers conversation, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: maybe Ryan Weathers' injury is because his innings are going
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: up 137 this year for the Yankees. Never pitched over
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: 100 innings before, but hopefully he comes back for the postseason.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: What exactly is he saying, though? The Red Sox, they
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: just turn innings? Their guys are throwing too many innings?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Is that it?
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: The Red Sox just care about getting the most out
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: of their young pitchers and throw them more innings than
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: their arms probably should allow them.
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So we complimented Mikey A and Iowa Sam. Iowa Sam,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about your compliment? I'm just hoping
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that you come to the mic and say something and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: butcher it so I can get off the hook and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: get out of my slump.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I appreciate the compliment.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: You kept it basic. Careful stepping. Let's get to Would
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: You Be Shocked? It's a new game, new to the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: radio audience, old to me and Mikey. We'll ask a
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: series of questions. We'll go around the room.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: And we'll ask everyone, would they be shocked? You guys
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: want me to kick off the proceedings here?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Go for it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: All right. Would you be shocked? It's the key to
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the game. It's the only reason we play it. Oh,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: there's music too. Mikey A. Taylor.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Iowa Sam.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Isaac.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Would you be shocked? Would you be shocked? If neither
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers or the Rams won a championship this season.
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: I'll start it off.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Yes, I would be shocked. I think I think both
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: of them are as clear cut against the field as
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: I've ever seen, whether it's this team versus the field.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: And I've leaned towards that team.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked just because baseball is so random
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: in the postseason.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: And the Dodgers have been so good for so long.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: But you look at their postseason runs, they've they flirted
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: with getting eliminated, even though they're back to back World
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Series champions. And then NFL. The NFL has so much
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: parity and your season's so dependent on staying healthy that
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I would just take the chances that the field would
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: win that case.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Hard to go back-to-back in baseball, right? Football is very random. Back-to-back-to-back. Back-to-back-to-back, right.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It seems too good to be true, the Rams.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: It really does.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Like something bad. Too many good things are happening. Something
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: bad is going to happen. I don't know what, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: don't know when, but it just seems too easy to
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: say the Rams are going to win the Super Bowl.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I would not be shocked if neither of those teams.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Won a championship this season.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: How about that? Answering my own question.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: How about that?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Sam, you got an opinion on this? Would you be shocked?
• 18:43
  Speaker 12: If they both did not win, I would not be shocked. Yeah,
• 18:46
  Speaker 12: like you said, it's really hard to go back to
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: back to back. I don't see them winning three in
• 18:51
  Speaker 12: a row. And then in the NFL, like Taylor said,
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: it's just like, yeah. And like what you said, Stu,
• 18:55
  Speaker 12: they have all these weapons now and the expectation is
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: that they go at least the NFC championship game. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: could see something happening where they get knocked out. So
• 19:04
  Speaker 12: I would not be shocked if neither team could win
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: a title.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I was waiting for him to trip up. Very wordy
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: answer there. Isaac?
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I would be shocked, and I would guess somewhere in
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: the bowels of L.A. City Hall, the championship parade plans
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: have already been finalized.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Do you speak like an update anchor when you're not
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: at work? When I'm not at work, this is my
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: normal voice.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Back to you.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The bowels.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: He's a showman.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: He really is. Mikey, go ahead.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: You're up.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Fellas, would you be shocked?
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Makes your ears bleed.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So stupid.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: If Jaden Daniels still can't return to his rookie season
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: form in year three.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: So I had an episode.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Mikey, you'll love this. My daughter decided to do a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: fantasy football draft. She took Jaden Daniels in the second round.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I thundered it, and I took over the draft.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: You have to.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: She's like, Dad, you told me Jaden Daniels was good.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, but he'll still be there in the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: 15th round.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I'll take over from here. I would be shocked if
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels doesn't get back to what he was at
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: his rookie season. I think Jaden Daniels is that good,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and I see no reason.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: He's young.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I see no reason why he wouldn't get back to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: where he was as a rookie. He's a talented quarterback.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: C.J.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: Stroud is my reason.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's a good point.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: But it feels like the Texans have just purposely ignored
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the upgrades needed around C.J. Stroud, and they're just looking
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: at C.J. Stroud saying, C.J. Stroud's going to figure it out.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: C.J.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Stroud's a talented enough quarterback. At least the commanders, it
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: feels like there's at least an attempt to try to
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: build around Jaden Daniels and kind of return to that
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: rookie season form.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to do this, but 877-99 on Fox. If
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: you have a would you be shocked question for us,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: we will dress it up with all the sound effects
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that we have, and we only have one. But feel
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: free to call in and present your would you be
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: shocked to me, Taylor, Mikey.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Ike, and I with Sam. Go ahead, Taylor.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I have one. I'm going to stay in the same
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: division as Mikey, actually. That's why I got a little
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: worried when I heard Mikey starting that. All right, what
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: do you got? Would you be shocked?
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: If the Giants win the NFC East.
• 21:32
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Eagles, Commanders, Cowboys. Everyone loves the Cowboys. Jaden Daniels, I
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: just said he should get back to where he was.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: As a rookie. That means he'll probably be good if
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: he does so. The Eagles are the Eagles.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Yet I wouldn't be shocked because it's football. I wouldn't
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: be shocked. I like the Giants. I like the coach.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Jackson Dart, I think, is a good quarterback. I would
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: not be shocked if the Giants won the NFC East.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Mikey?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I had this whole, like, thought-out thing that I
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: was going to give you, and then you hit me
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: with football is football.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: And I kind of.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Don't have a comeback to that.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: It's tough. But in the end, I'm going to say yes,
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: I would be shocked because I think the Eagles are
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: just that good. I think they're going to have probably
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: a top three defense. They have a top three offensive line.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: I think they have an identity, and now that A.J.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Brown is gone, they're going to lean more into that identity.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: And I would be shocked if the Giants were able
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: to overtake the Eagles.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Sherman Oaks, Iowa Sam. Would you be shocked?
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I would be shocked.
• 22:39
  Speaker 12: I'd have the Commanders, the Eagles, and the Cowboys all
• 22:43
  Speaker 12: ahead of the Giants to finish.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: That's all of them.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: I'd have the Giants firmly in fourth place, so I'd
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: be shocked.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: OK, Ike.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: I actually.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, sorry.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: I actually would not be shocked. I think they would
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: have been a better record last year if they would
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: have stayed a little healthier. But they have a good
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: nucleus if they stay healthy. But they have a really
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: underrated young, deep athletic squad of pass rushers.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Shame on me for forgetting about E.P. Jason out in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks. Jason, would you be shocked?
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Not only that, I would be Jeremy Shockey. Really?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Former Giants tight end.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: We get the joke.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: We're there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You don't need to explain it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: We're right there with you.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Wait, do they have questions out in Sherman Oaks? I mean,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: we're done. Just answers. And bad jokes.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Just answers. And bad jokes.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Is Jason mad at me? Sam, is he mad at me? No, no.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: He's got a half grin on his face. He's fine.
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: I'm not confident in the Giants, guys. I think I'd
• 24:03
  Speaker 11: be Jeremy Shockey.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: It was funny in the second time. Go ahead, Mikey.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Would you be shocked? It scares me.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Would you be shocked if six playoff teams came from
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: the West?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: In both conferences. I had that same thought. I had
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: that same thought, too.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Okay.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: From the AFC and NFC West, if six total playoff
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: teams came from those two divisions.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Taylor, thank you. I felt very alone there for a second.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Stu, I had the same thing in my head. I said,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: there's only four. So, yes, technically I would be shocked
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: if that happened. I wouldn't be shocked. I think the
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Chargers are really good in the AFC West. I think
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: the Broncos, you could count on that defense. The Chiefs
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: to make it back to the playoffs. And then the
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: NFC West, it's murderer's row out there with the Rams,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: the 49ers, and the Seahawks. So I wouldn't be shocked
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: if six make it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I need to think about this one.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It's a good question. Let's go to Iowa Sam and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks first. Would you be shocked, Iowa Sam?
• 25:14
  Speaker 12: I would not be too shocked. Those are good divisions
• 25:17
  Speaker 12: out west.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Isaac. Isaac, would you be shocked?
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: Not shocked at all. However, I would be shocked if
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: one of them were the Raiders or Cardinals.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: That is fair.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: E.P. Jason, would you be shocked?
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals on the West Coast. Interesting.
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: I would be shocked because the NFL is the least
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: predictable league in the world. The AFC West from four
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: years ago when Russell Wilson went there, the AFC West
• 25:43
  Speaker 11: was supposed to have all their teams in the playoffs,
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: and I think one made it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to say I would be shocked.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I'm on record as saying Seattle won't make the playoffs.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The Rams are a lock.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Got to scroll up here. How many teams did you say?
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: Six.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I'd be shocked.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: I'd be shocked.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Because I only have one team in the NFC making it,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and that's the Rams. I don't think Seattle's going to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: make it. I don't think San Francisco's going to make it.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And there's not five teams that can make it out
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: of the AFC.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: So I would be shocked. The Broncos will make the playoffs.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: The Chiefs will make the playoffs. Chargers, no. Raiders, no.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I have a rapid-fire one.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Would you be shocked if Fernando Mendoza starts more than
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: half the Raiders games this season?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised he's not starting to start the season, to
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: be honest.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: No, I would not be shocked.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: I would be shocked.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I would be shocked, too.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: That schedule is tough to start. I don't think they're
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: going to try to throw him in the fire. You
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: get Kirk Cousins for a reason. Their bye week is
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: super late in the season. I think that's where you
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: kind of ease them into it. All right.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I got one for you, guys. Would you be shocked?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: If North Carolina made the college football playoff and the
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Patriots didn't make the NFL playoffs.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: That's a twist because Carolina is making the playoffs.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson company
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: live weekdays at 3 p.m.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: We debut an old but new game new to the
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: radio audience. Old to me and Mikey, would you be
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: shocked coming up next year? I'm looking forward to that.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I have two things working against me besides the heat
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: down here, and I'll get to the calls in just
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a second.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I stayed up till 2.30 watching a tennis match last night.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Opening round, U.S.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Open, Zverev, however you pronounce his name, the number one seed,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: five-set thriller, and somehow I stayed up till 2.30 in
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the morning. That's the first thing working against me today.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: It's why I'm tired. The second thing working against me is.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I put on a pair of shorts this morning that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are probably two waist sizes too.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Small, and I feel like I can't breathe. Sneaky, one
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: of the.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Most terrible feelings in the world. Two tight shorts?
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Wet socks or two tight shorts? Hmm.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Wet socks for me.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: You'd rather have wet socks.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, because I'm dealing with the tight shorts right now,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: and I feel like my head's going to explode.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Sorry, tight shorts. Welcome to my life, guys.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but for me, I'm still hanging on to the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: old days. I really am. It's why I don't throw
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: anything out.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And so I'd like to think that one day I'll
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: get myself in good enough shape to be able to
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: fit in these shorts again.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: But today is not that day. And yet I am
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: still wearing them, and they are tight.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: That good shape? He's getting to it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get to some sound here. First, Taylor, who is
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: in a slump. This is yesterday towards the end of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the show. Steve Spurrier was on. His nickname is the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: old ball coach. Here's Taylor trying.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: To say that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: To get the old boat.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: And so he was, and then it didn't get any better.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: He botched T-Bob in the opening segment. But when you're
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: in a slump, you either want to get out of it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: We have T-Bob Abare on.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Okay. Sorry about that.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: We have T-Bob Abare on.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I should have made room for the sound. Mikey, that's
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: on me.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: It's on me. So when you're in a slump, what
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you look for is either you want to get yourself
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: out of said slump or you want the light to
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: shine so bright.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: On someone else that it takes the shine off of you.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: And I feel like I made that mistake in the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: first segment.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, tell us.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: And I know people are probably wondering what Stu got said,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: because credit to Iowa Sam, very quick to the trigger,
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Iowa Sam dumped it.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: This is what it sounded like.
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: 877-99 on Fox.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm giving out the phone number.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Dominique Foxworth. Now I got it. There's no way I
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: did that. Like Kevin Duckworth.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: It sounds so much worse when you bleep it.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad, was it? 877-99 on Fox. I
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: don't know why I'm giving out the phone number. Dominique Foxworth.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Now I got it. He passed the slump on to me.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: My shorts are tight.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like your abdominal is about to explode.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Dominique Foxworth.
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: I am so scared I'm going to rescue Stu.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: You're next. It happens in threes.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Iowa Sam, talk on the air.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Anybody. Anybody.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: Black backup quarterback. Black backup quarterback.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Yes. Headset. And perhaps Eddie. Headset. And perhaps Eddie.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Just line them all up and I'll call for him,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I will say.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Because I want to do something. I've been trying to
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: get this off the ground. Dan and I did something
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: for years called the Sueys. And I want to do
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: something called the Stewies.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Where it's annual awards, where we make fun of ourselves,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and also, you know, pat ourselves on the back a bit.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: So let's start with Taylor on Martin Luther King Day, guys, okay?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: This is Taylor trying to say backup quarterback.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Black backup quarterback.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: That one's even just so much better because it was
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: on MLK Day.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: People are saying I'm an ally, though.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Black up quarterbacks.
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Now let's go to, man, you were in a slump
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: until I got you out of it. Let's go to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Taylor trying to say the old ball coach.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: To get the old boat. And so today it did
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: not get any better.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: A good night's sleep did not help him.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: He was trying to say the most basic word, the
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: basic name you could say.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: T-Bob. Here's Taylor.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: We have T-Bob A-Bear on.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: And then there's me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: 877-99 on Fox. I don't know why I'm giving out
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the phone number. Dominique Foxworth. Now I got it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not happy. This is the most embarrassed I've ever
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: been on air. And that's saying a lot. It really is. Indianapolis. Oh, God.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Eddie Erickson's a tough one. I'm going to pass on that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: It's tough. It's two E's. Eddie Erickson. It's tough, right?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: And perhaps Eddie Erickson.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: Stu, I have the same thing, though. When I try
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: to say a name, I have it in my head,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: and then the words just all become, like, combined together
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: because my brain is moving so fast.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're talking too much in too many places, all
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: three of us.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: The old ball coach.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: I haven't heard my name out there.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: You're up.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: Mikey.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I know I had one.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: If I could paint the picture of my night last night,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I was just in front of a mirror going, the
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: old ball coach. The old ball coach.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Trying to shake it off.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Get some reps in.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: And did it help?
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: No. No.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And if it had helped, you would have been slapped
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: with T-bomb in the first segment.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: And you would have went right back into your slump.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: We have a call back into it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Yes. I listen. I'm really tight.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Black up quarterbacks.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: White back into it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, man. Damn it. The shorts are too tight.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Why do I keep them? Why not just throw them out?
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: Because you're you're planning on getting back in the gym.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: That was your New Year's resolution.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: But you and I both know I'm never getting back
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: in the gym.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Are they from Caldor?
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: To me and Taylor both know that Stugatz is never
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: going back.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: To a gym.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: He's seen his last one.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: ESPN has ranked the top 100 NFL players for this season.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Just for this season.
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Because right.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: The upcoming season.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Because we're all filling time until the games actually start
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: and we have nothing better to talk about.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: So we rank players.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Mikey, what was surprising to you from ESPN's top 100
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: players for this upcoming season?
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: An odd list.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: For starters. Number 100 was like, wait a minute. Did
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: you guys even watch last year?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's what got me. And the fact that there
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: is one team that doesn't have one person on the list.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: The Jets?
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: It would be the New York Jets.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: One person on this list.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: That's impossible.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: What do you mean it's impossible?
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: We've lived our entire lives without having a player in
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the top 100 for the upcoming season.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: We had two last year.
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: Yes. Williams and Sauce Gardner.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: And they're both in like the top 55 or something,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: but they're on other teams now.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: So ESPN did this list a year ago.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: OK, but you said players that were on the Jets
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: last year.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying on this list, I'm saying that anyone who
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: made a list that included two Jets last year, that
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: person was fired.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: OK, I mean, yes. No, no, no.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Listen, they're great players. They're great when they go elsewhere.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: They're just never great with us. That's the problem.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: Taylor Taylor is trying to double check my work like
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: at the top of the article.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: It doesn't say the.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: Jets, meanwhile, are the only team without a single representative.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Not double checking your work right i'm just flabbergasted that
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: demario davis is is probably a top 100 player in
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: the nfl at the linebacker position garrett wilson should be
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: somewhere i don't care if garrett agreed i don't care
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: if garrett wilson is 99 right garrett wilson's a top
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: 100 player in the nfl.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Breeze hall top 100 player in the nfl.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't fight for Brees Hall.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll. Would you fight for Brees Hall?
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: Brees Hall could be on the list, but I'm upset
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Garrett Wilson's not on the list. I'm not upset Brees
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Hall isn't on the list.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Why are you upset that Garrett Wilson's not on the list?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Because he is that good.
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: He is that good.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't have the list. You do. Who would
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: you take off the list to put Garrett Wilson on
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: instead of? Who would you take off of that list?
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: Listen, you want to go through? I'll give you number
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: 100 right off the bat.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Are you telling me the Cleveland Browns minus Miles Garrett,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: they have someone in the top 100 for the upcoming season?
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: They might even have multiple.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Okay. So how do you want to do this? Are
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: we doing this five at a time? Are we just
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: dissecting the list? What is happening here?
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: Listen, we are five on-air days away from actual football
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: being played. We need to get through this.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: So how do you want to do it?
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: I'll rattle off 20 if you want.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: 20.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: That's great. Start with 100. Go ahead.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: We'll do 20 at a time until we get to kickoff.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: We're filling time.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: Number 100.
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold. Really?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: Huh.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Deserving.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Probably should be higher. I mean, he's a Super Bowl
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: champion winning quarterback. I, of course.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl champion.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I announced they're not going to make the playoffs this year.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with Sam Darnold. It just
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: has to do with making bold predictions.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: That's it. All right. Is Darnold, he should be higher, right?
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Or lower. No, he should be.
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: We'll see.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: He should be higher.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: It's always confusing. Number 99.
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: Jesse Bates.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Hmm. Garrett Wilson should go there. Do you know who
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Jesse Bates is? I got to be honest with you.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: If Jesse Bates was co-hosting the show with me today
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and sitting in the studio, I would have no idea
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: it's Jesse Bates.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a different question.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: That is a very different question.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I would be able to recognize
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Jesse Bates without his helmet, but I do know that
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Jesse Bates is always a name that's linked to, hey,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: maybe we should get this guy out of Atlanta and
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: get him to a contender so he could help somebody's
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: defense in the secondary. Got it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: All right, one, we are never getting through 20 with
• 38:42
  Speaker 6: the pace we're going. And number two, if I told
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: you we could get Jesse Bates on the show tomorrow,
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: you'd be like, hell yes.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Of course. Yes, 100%. 98, please.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Antoine Winfield Jr.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: AWJ. Weird list.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: 97.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: Jalen Hurts. Disrespectful.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's clickbait right there.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: What is that? There's always a name on the list
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: and they're either ranked too high or too low. And
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: it's just to get the people talking. And Jalen Hurts
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: has us talking.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: Ask me 96.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: 96.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence.
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: What?
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: For the upcoming season, right?
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: I'm going to predict that my biggest problem with this list.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: is gonna be wherever lamar jackson.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Is um my biggest problem with this list regardless of
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: what happens for the remainder of the list is trevor lawrence.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Uh what number were we on.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: 95 or Sean Slater?
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Ah, Slater.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: Disrespect.
• 39:46
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: Because he's one of the best tackles in the league.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: He got hurt last year.
• 39:55
