• 0:47
  Speaker 4: you doing with Oreo?
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: And I was like, well, I'm not in Vegas anymore.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I moved from Vegas. So for those that don't know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: there was a neighborhood cat named Oreo. We named a
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Morio me and my girlfriend and you know, Oreo is
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: this amazing black cat. Awesome and had to leave Oreo.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I did, like, I'm gonna.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Get the sports in a second, but just a brief
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: update on life things right here right like, loved Oreo
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: to death. I met the owners I met the the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: the girl that's the owner of Oreo. Crazy story with him, right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So I talked to this girl and she's like, yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I met him. I found him at a casino or
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Oreo's this hardcore gambler, a casino cat, I guess.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, probably has a smoking problem too.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Maybe, But this is funny you said that, Lorena. Apparently
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: this girl said his whiskers were like burned, like he
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: had a bad owner or something. I don't know what happened,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: but she found him in a tree, just meowing, and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: she's decided to keep this cat. A couple of years ago,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: she said, Oreo's only like three years old. And they
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: have another name for Oreo. I forget what they call him,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: not anything nearly as cool as Oreo.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: But that means he really has that like wild soul.
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: That's why you can't hold him down.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: He's got to be free, Lorena. He's got to roam
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the streets, you know what I mean. He's like an outdoor.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Slashing door cat. Yeah, he's crazy like that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: So I could tell talking to this girl that that
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: she loves Oreo, you know, and you have to respect that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I wanted to keep Oreo.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: So you were actually like putting out your bid.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Like ken, oh I was going to yeah, and I
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: could tell like there was no there was no need
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: to even request this.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: It was going to get denied immediately.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: No, you can't have my casino cat.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: She's like, oh, we love him, he's our baby. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, that's a wrap. You know, I know
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: where this is going.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: So so to steal the cat.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I got a bunch of information about Oreo,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the whole thing, right, So I didn't end up keeping
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Oreo because you got to respect that he's got owners. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: he's got a home. I can't kidnap, kidnap Oreo. So
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: left Vegas. So I'm just than Indiana for the holidays,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: visiting home for the holidays, and then I'm on the
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: move again. I don't know where I'm going. Los Angeles
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: could be, who knows. I'm looking into get this, you'll
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: never see this curveball coming. I'm looking into physical therapy school,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: possibly in North Carolina. I won't bore you with all
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the details. It's a whole thing and it's obnoxious. But
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the other the other thing that Lorena said right before
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the show, She's like, I don't know how you said it, Lorena,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: but you're like, oh, you're not in Vegas, Like where
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: are you and your girl? I'm like, well, we broke up.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: There's no me and my girl anymore, like you know, unfortunately. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: hey it happens like.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: That has been happening in your life.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: No, all kinds of stuff. But you know, she put
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: up with me for like three almost four years. We
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: were together for a long time, and things are mostly cool. Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: things are mostly cool for the you know, for the
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: general part. But we ended it about as well as
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you can and then she got mad at me.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: It's funny.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: It's such a stupid so I didn't believe. I'm sorry
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I'm starting off the show like this. I have dk
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: metcalf thoughts. You're probably way more interested in those than this.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: But it was kind of funny because we ended on
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the best terms possible, Lorraina, Like seriously, it was like
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the best way if there is a way to break up,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: you know, like the most mature adult way.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: And then what is relationship night on the show.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: So it's good that you couldn't just walk away and
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: ghost her, right or vice versa.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So we ended up. We ended in great fashion.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: You know, it's very very sad, but as best as
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: you can. And then you know, she went back home.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: She's from Mexico City, so she went home, wanted to
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: be with her family, the whole thing, which totally understandable.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And then I was in Vegas for it's probably like
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: another month after she had left single. Yes, yeah, causing
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a ruckus basically is what I was doing, LORAINI but uh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I went to a show at the Sphere. This is
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: how crazy it got, oz No. I went to a
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Zach Brown band concert, which you know me, I'm a
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: metal guy, but I'm a colectic, all right, I'm a colectic, Lorraina,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: more than my reputation precedes me. I love me some
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: random genres over here, tool excluded, of course. But I
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: went to the Zach Brown concert and it was funny.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I was gonna go in the general admission section because
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: that's the metal fan in me, that's all I know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I know, general admission, I can roam wherever I want
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: to roam.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: The standing area, right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like seats, I'm like seats, what It's just foreign
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to me, you know. So there were these general admission
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: sections very close, and I messaged her and I'm like,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking about doing this, and she's like, no, she
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: had been there. Don't do that. You're gonna be so close.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: You're gonna break your neck looking youna be looking up
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: skyward the whole time. You don't want to do that,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: like sit higher up. And I'm like, all right, cool.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: So I sat a little bit higher up. Apparently not
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: high enough. I sat in like the one hundred section.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I sit down, there's a balcony above me, you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like I can only see half of the Sphere's screen.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And so I'm messaging her and you know how stuff
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: on text might not translate, you know, And I'm just
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: like I'm just like you, you know, like I'm just
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: joking around, like like there's a section I was gonna
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: be in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Here's the section I'm in that. No, I wasn't like
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that at all, Coop. I was just kidding around.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's kind of funny, really, Like I get
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: they put Zach Brown on the screen. I can see
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: like his lower torso like I can't see his face
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: like nothing, And I'm just like, you told me to
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: sit higher up. And it turns into this thing out
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: of nowhere, which she's like, I told you to sit
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: at the top, and I'm like, you didn't, you just
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: said higher up.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: She's like, well you should have known what I meant.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: How he would I was, I supposed to know what
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: you meant. And it turns into this obnoxious thing out
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of nowhere, and now she's just miffed at me. It's
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: mad and acting weird and things are off and it's
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: just so stupid. I sent her a couple of messages
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: today like yo, like, what's the deal man? What are
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: we doing here? But anyway, we added things great and
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: now things suck. Welcome by life. It's basically what's happening
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: right here.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: But I love that story.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That was great.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: You think i'd be a good physical therapist, Lena, What
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: do you think about that?
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: And you're so caring, you're so thoughtful. Well, you're knowledgeable
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: and like sports and stuff. You got to be knowledgeable, right, Yes.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's a whole thing.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: You got prerequisite scalore. You got to take chemistry and
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: like statistics and biology to.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Be a scientist of the body.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: So man, it's a it's a long haul right there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't know I'll keep you
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: updated on that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I got as a lot of time to do it
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: as well.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I know that's the thing.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I'm working Saturdays and Sundays, and you know, fill in's
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: here and there. But it's like, if I knew I
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: was gonna take this long to find another local gig,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I worked in Portland years ago, i'd be almost done
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: with physical therapy school by now. I didn't know it
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: was gonna work like this. It's up to these pds
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: over here with the program directors are jackasses.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: What's going on over here? Lorrain? It's crazy, all right.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: So I'm sorry I've wasted almost this entire first segment
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: talking about random things.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I apologize, but a lot to get to tonight.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Look, I will I'll dive knee deep into my DK
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Metcalf thoughts here. I'll just give you the cliffs notes
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: version right now. Okay, So DK Metcalf, the Steelers wide receiver.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: His suspension was upheld. He's gonna be suspended for two
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: games and he's gonna miss the final two regular season
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: games for the Steelers. They need one win in these
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: final two games to clinch the division and to get
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: a playoff spot, so they take on. The Steelers and
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: the Ravens are their final two games, and so having
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: DK Metcalf in uniform for either of those two games
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: would help a lot. It's been a house of horrors
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: for the Steelers at Cleveland, if you can believe that,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: they've lost many, many, many many times in Cleveland, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: so to not have their top receiver hurts. If they
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: don't beat Cleveland this weekend, then they host the Steelers
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: for the division. Obviously, Pittsburgh doesn't want it, doesn't want
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: it to come down to that, but that's the scenario.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: So DK he now loses five hundred and fifty five
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars for missing these final two games. That's what
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: he's docked in salary. And also his guaranteed money is voided.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: The forty five million dollars in guaranteed money that he
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: had on his contract is voided. And so that throws
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: a wrench into things that the Steelers think about moving
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: in a different direction now that the guarantees are voided.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's still been a really good receiver for them,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: so that might not change anything. What really what's funny
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to me? First off, before I get into the you know,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: the knee deep part of this. We throw around these
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: crazy figures with millions of dollars. Well, I don't know
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: about you, but it's like white noise to me. If
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: they're just like, ah, this quarterback signs a two hundred
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and fifty five million dollar contract, it's just like map,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: it's just these numbers.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's it's just the going rate.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: You know, when it really sinks in how much money
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: we're talking about is a game check? You know, two
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: game checks for DK Metcalf, it's slightly over five hundred
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: and fifty five thousand dollars.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And again, that's the going rate.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: If you can do what DK Metcalf can do on
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: a football field, you will make the same money. It
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: generates all of this interest, the league generates all this money.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: That's the going rate. I have no issue whatsoever with
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: what players make. But it just hits home where it's
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: like five hundred and fifty five k He's just lost
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that money because of two game checks.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: That's unbelievable to me.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys are the same way,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: but when it breaks down to a per game basis,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I'm like, show, hey, Otani misses out on how much
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: money for missing this Friday game.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Holy hell, No.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: It's unbelievable how much this money equates to on a
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: game by game basis. But the real part of this
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: whole thing with DK is, look, I'm gonna be as
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: honest with you as possible. We start with the central truth, okay,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And no matter where the conversation goes from this point on,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the central truth is DK metcalf can't do what he did.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: That is the central truth. You can't lose sight of
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: that central truth. And with this Yahoo whatever he had
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to say, what's this jackass? His name Ryan Kennedy. It's
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: funny some of the things that he's talking about. Of course,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the allegation that he called DK the N word, called
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: DK's mom the C word, totally false, like, completely fabricated.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: What do you think he was saying?
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Really do you think he was like, hey, DK, Merry Christmas,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: and DK just wanted to punch this guy's lights out.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Of course, he was saying some wild stuff and he's
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: turned into you know this latter day saying like me slur,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: what does slur even mean? I don't even know what slur?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Come on, man, Like, he probably said some crazy wild
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: stuff and this is the part where we start to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: maybe get away from the central truth. Central truth. DK
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Metcalf can't do what he did. But with this guy,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's really easy to sit from your your
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: couch and say what I'm saying. DK can't do that.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: What's tough is being in those shoes and hearing whatever
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: this Yahoo fan had to say. And you've got to
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: be professional. You've got to keep your cool, you can't overreact.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: It is really really difficult to do that. And DK
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: messed up. It sucks because look at what it's cost him.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: It's cost him five hundred and fifty five thousand dollars
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: for two game checks. His guaranteed money is voided. He
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: suspended for the final two games of the season. How
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: is he winning?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Like? What did he gain?
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Where's the win here? It's just l's all across the board,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: l l L l l l L. I'll tell you
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: what if I put myself in those shoes, and let's
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: just say this Yahoo fan said that DK's mom is
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: the C word. Like if I'm in DK shoes, I'm
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: the NFL wide receiver, like suspend you know reality for
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: a second, I'm in DK shoes and this fan says
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: that my mom is a C word. I'd want to
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: kill him in that moment. Best believe I would want
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: to kill him. And it's easier said than done to
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: not overreact, to not do what DK did. There are
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: plenty of people saying DK can't do that, DK shouldn't
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: do that. DK is wrong for doing that, but they
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: would have done the same thing or worse in those
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: same shoes, maybe me being one of those people.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: If I'm on a team, I'm a professional, I know
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: I can't do that, but not being able to do it,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: can't doing it and not doing it, those are different
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: things right there. The movie The Taking of Pelham one
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: two three, it's a random movie choice by me, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: it comes into my mind very good, underrated movie by
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: the way, very overlooked. It's what Denzel Washington, John Travolta
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: is in that thing. But there's a scene with John
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Tuturo and I'll I won't bore you with the whole setup.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: But at one point he says in the movie, you've
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: entered his world, now exit it. And that was the
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: first mistake that DK made. He entered the fans world
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: by walking over there. That was the first mistake. He
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: should have exited that world, but he was there. The
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: fans said whatever he had to say. DK in that
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: moment reacted the way that he did, and now he
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: suspended for the final two games, docked all this money
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: in salary game checks these final two games, his guaranteed money.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Just can't do it, man, not in a team sport.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: That's the other thing. It's one thing if you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: DK is a tennis player and he does this, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: they deal with him somehow someway. He's a member of
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: a team. He's hurting the team by doing that. And
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I hate the Yahoo fan didn't even get kicked out
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: of the game. That's the crazy thing. It's like some
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: of the things that these players here. I never subscribed
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: to this thought of, hey, I bought my ticket, so
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: what now I have free reign can just be the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: biggest a hole on the planet. And it's okay because
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I spent whatever it was. I spent two hundred and
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: fifty bucks to sit close and now I'm just going
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: to be a wrectum the whole game. That's not good enough, man,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Like the standards have to be way better. I'll tell
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: you a brief story and we'll continue this as the
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: night goes on. Plenty other things to talk about, but
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: this is, you know, hot on my mind here. The
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: suspension's been upheld, DK suspended for the final two games
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: of the season five fee. So we go back to
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: the year two thousand and five. Okay, So I was.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I was doing the Notre Dame football pre game show.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And what was really really cool about that I could
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: go to the games and I could go down to
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: the field for the final five minutes of the game.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: It was awesome.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So I was there for the Bush push game, the
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: famous game USC beats Notre Dame at Notre Dame, obviously,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: and I was on the field for the final five
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: minutes of that game. So the game ends, USC wins,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Reggie Bush pushes into the end zone Trojan's win. I
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: was on the field just rumming around, you know, And
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: then I saw Reggie Bush and Lendale White, and for
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: whatever reason, I was just walking behind them as they
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: were walking off the field. They're just walking into the
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: tunnel leaving the stadium, and the things that were being yelled,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I don't not just at them, but just at USC
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: in general. It wasn't racial that I heard it wasn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: like that, but it was you F and b mother
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: f for as you f.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just like, holy cow, what really took me? Aback?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I'm watching Reggie Bush and Lendale White just walk off
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: the field, not engaging with these ridiculous fans, not yelling
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: at them, total pros, as if they didn't even hear anything.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: And I remember walking behind these guys and just being
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: so impressed with how they handled that, and I didn't
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: want to bother that. I guess I should have gone
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: up to them been like, hey, man, props to you guys.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: That was amazing.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I felt like I should apologize on behalf of those fans.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'm from South Bend, I love Notre Dame football. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: felt like I owed them an apology just based on
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: how these idiots were acting, Like no one should hear
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: that stuff, but it's so common, unfortunately, you know that
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: like the f US, that's just like baseline, It just
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: comes with the territory.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: It's like a shoulder shrug. It shouldn't be, but that's
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: how it is.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: But when it escalates to what DK Metcalf might have
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: heard and what that fan might have said allegedly calling
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: DK the N word, his mom the C word. It's like,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: how is that acceptable on any level? That fan has
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: got to be out of there immediately. That is so unacceptable.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: And I'm telling you what, man, these leagues got to
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: do a much better job of protecting their players because
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: they're putting these players in a position where it's like,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: if you're not gonna police this stuff, you're kind of
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: indirectly asking me to do that. You got to take
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: care of this, so it's not on me to do
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: something about it. And so I see a lot of
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: sides to this, but again we get back to the
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: central truth. DK Metcalf can't react that way and cannot
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: do what he did. And for anyone who's like, well
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: why not, you know as well as I do. The
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: NFL can't have that. No sports league can have that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: You can't have a situation where a player either goes
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: into the stands, approaches the stans, engages with the fan,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: throws a punch at a fen. You cannot have that,
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: because really, what's your sales pitch as a league. Your
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: sales pitch is like, hey, come on out and see
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the games, but act right or else you're gonna get
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: your ass kicked like that. That's not a sales pitch
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: at all. You can't have that as a league. So
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: of course they're gonna suspend DK. They have no choice
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: but to suspend him. He's lucky that there were at
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: least two regular season games left and they could say,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: all right, it's more than just one game. We'll call
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: it good as far as that goes. If this is
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the final regular season game, that that's not enough. Is
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: he docked a playoff game as well? Who knows, who
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: knows where it goes. But it's a bad situation for him,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: it's a bad situation for the Steelers, and unfortunately, this
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: idiot fan he gets this fifteen minutes of fame for
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: allegedly saying what he said.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I hate it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I wish you could kick that guy's ass. I wish
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: it was fine to do that, but you can't. And
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: DK is gonna be on the wrong end of that
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: whole situation. Your thoughts feel free to check in eight
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. You gotta be
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: a pro, and you can't engage. You can't you can't
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: stoop to a lower level man. And I hate that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: I hate that. I've seen many instants. Is where man,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: so many fans deserved to just be ah yeah exactly,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: just knocked out cold for some of the things that
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: they're saying meant. The other thing I don't understand is
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I come back to this last thing. I'll say real fast,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: as I'm just blowing up the clock, I am not.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I'm not like Simpatico with a clock integrity right now
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: as I talked about my life for nine minutes.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry about that. I apologize.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: This is what blows my mind, like we just look
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: at it one way where it's like this stupid fan
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Dk Metcalf, he did what he did in the ramifications,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: What should what shouldn't have happened?
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: YadA, YadA.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: What I can't get beyond is some fan next to
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: that Yahoo fan heard what the Yahoo fan had to say.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: How do these fans sitting nearby just accept that If
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I heard, and I don't know if this was what
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: was said, but let's just say it was. If I
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: heard a fan called DK Metcalf the N word and
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: his mom the C word, I would.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Have been like, Dk, don't worry about it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I got this bad like that guy would have been
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: heave hoed onto the field. I don't understand these fans
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: sitting around like they're just like, hey, they just let
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: it happen.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: How do you let that happen?
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: You're an equal like Unfortunately, DK is not an equal
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: of the fan.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: He's a player.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: He's going to get dealt with a lot more severely
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: if he engages with the fan and throws a punch
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: at the fan compared to fan on fan violence. Now,
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I can't say I could just like deck this guy
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: and throw them on the field and it's all good.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Like there'd be lawsuits, there'd be all kinds of stuff.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I realized that. But how do you just sit there
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: and do nothing? How That's what blows my mind the most.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: That is the mentality of people today.
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Brian.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: You said, we stand there, we take our phones out
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: and we record it. We don't get involved because if
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: you get involved, you also get kicked out.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: You would also receive those repercussions.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: No, you're right, And that's the bad thing about it,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: is it?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I love the movie Training Day.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Love the movie Training Day with Denzel And if you
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: ever watch you ever watch like the director's cut or
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: whether it's commentary on a movie, it used to be
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: able to buy.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I haven't bought a DVD in fren.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I've ever seen a movie like that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Oh you gotta do it like that.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: When Antoine Fuqua when he was doing the he was
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: talking over the movie, so many great stories, so many
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: things about the movie was tremends.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It was awesome, it was great. But it was one
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: of the things.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I think it's when Jake goes to confront Denzel and
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: the neighborhood basically has Jake's back, right, and it was
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: somewhere along that line that time, and now I think
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: it was when Jake he went to go confront Denzel
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: in that whole scene, but he quoted it was a
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: famous quote, and Antoine said, that's like at the heart
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: of the movie, where it's the world is in evil place,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: not just because of the evil, evil people in it,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: but because of the people who do nothing about it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: And that's like the theme of the whole movie, like
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: what are you gonna do about this? And that's it's
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: your right, Lorraine. It's like, Oh, I'm gonna take off
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: my phone, I'm gonna post this on X and that's it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: That's all you're gonna do.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna go viral for this.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Viral because I'm like selfieing me kicking this guy's ass
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: because he deserves it, Like you can't. I would never
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: allow something like that happen. I don't care if I
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: get kicked. I don't care if I get dealt with.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I don't care in that moment. This is what needs
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: to happen. And sorry, judge, Like, I think I'm in
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: the right to some degree for doing this, but uh yeah.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: That's the other thing is the fans who just kind
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: of sit there and like, whoa, Wow, that guy's kind
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: of crazy. That's all you did. You just I thought
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: he was kind of crazy, and you just let things happen.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: He's there the rest of the game like he deserves
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: to be there.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I just don't get that at all.
• 25:08

• 25:33
  Speaker 4: don't know if you're going to agree with this a
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: sports take of mine, but I think there is an
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: accomplishment that's even tougher than winning a super Bowl in
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: the NFL. I'll get to that momentarily as well. But
• 25:44

  Speaker 4: This was a first for me. So I was doing
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: my Christmas shopping. I love ac DC. By the way, you, Loraina,
• 27:30

• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Uh?

  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: I remember them from my childhood.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Remember remember them from your childhood?
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, would be driving and my mom's transam and she
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: would have it on.

  Speaker 3: That's so, that's.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: The last time you like hung out with ac DC
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: hu in your life.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: It's been a minute.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's been a minute. Coop you thumbs up thumbs
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: down on ac DC. How do you feel about them?
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Wow?
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: I respect the uh impact or you know, but I
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: just think that too many of the songs sound exactly
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: the same.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Wow. And you're a tool fan, that's all right?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, all right. Well I didn't realize you guys
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: are gonna be this down on a legendary band like
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: ac DC. That's fine, whatever, you know, different strokes for
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: different folks, I guess. But this girl at this I
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: bought a sweater from my sister and I was at
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: the store and the girl was just wearing an ac
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: DC hoodie and so she's ringing up the order and
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: I was just curious. I'm like, hey, what's your favorite
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: ACDC song? This wasn't a pop quiz, It's not like
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: it gotcha most anything. Like, I'm just curious, just curious. Lorena,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: she hits me with this something along the lines of
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: you know, do I know the lyrics to all of
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: ac DC songs? Yes? But do I know the name
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: of ACDC songs? No? Do I even know if an
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: A the CDC song is playing?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: No, it's just like what you know?
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: That's I feel like, and I don't want to be.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: All right, say it, get there, go there. I'm sure.
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: Look, I don't want to say a blanket statement, but
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: I just feel like that is more common with women.
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: Uh my wife, like Love's Fleetwood Mac could sing the songs, right,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: I guarantee you she couldn't name a song.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Wow, interesting, like that's.
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: A song title. Like you know, if I could say,
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: you know, start singing Fleetwood Mac, she'll sing different songs.
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: But I've said, you know what the name of that
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: song is, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: It's weird because like how music has evolved. I could
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: tell you, like when I was growing up, if I
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: had a CD and you I don't know, you have
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: like the booklet the back of the CD you see
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: the songs in order. I could tell if we were
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: going through Metallica albums.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, what the track number is?
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: You're like, what was the sixth track on the Black album,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: it's like, oh, okay, no problem, you know.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Boom boom boo boom.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: But now that it's different and it's I just get
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: these albums on like Spotify or what. I don't have
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: anything memorized. So yeah, it's a great point.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: My wife is seven years younger than me, you know,
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: pretty much grew up in the era of digital music, right.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: See, I think it's opposite because I have to remember
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: the songs or I can't look them up on YouTube.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Well that's the thing though, too, is I think there's
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: a difference if you're rocking the gear of the band,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, right.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: You can't be a poser, right right, It's like you're
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: carrying a skateboard. Okay when we want to go ride. Actually,
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know how to get on this thing.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Right exactly. That was the thing. That's what I thought
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: immediately when I was leaving and she was like, have
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: a good day.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: I was like, you two poser, you know, like you
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: got a can't name a song, like, you're rocking the gear.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: What are we doing here? Let's get to the DK calls.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: A lot people want to check in on DK metcalf,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: the drama that is going on. He's been suspended for
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: the final two games of the season. That suspension was
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: upheld by the NFL today. So there's the new news,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: if you will. Let's get to let me go to
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Nick up first in Berkeley as a thought on this.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: It's going on, Nick, You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: And then, first of all, I saw ACDC nineteen eighty
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: two of the cal Palace Man. You know, for those
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: about the rock tours, So I mean like the albums
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: and the song have have to say that. You know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: they have songs that that match the album, so it's
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: kind of easy to remember at least one song. So
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe she was having a rough morning remembering
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: who she was. But let me tell you, man, it
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: was very strange to see the way that all went down.
• 31:46
  Speaker 11: There was not a.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Security guard on the field. Yeah, the netcap like like
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: watching the cloud from the field, and they also talk
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: to people when the stands watching the stands, you know
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying. And then the UL security guards watched
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: the Bold security guards that are watching the stands. I
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: don't understand how they escalated to that point, and I
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: don't understand how they got wasn't kicked out before he
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: even got to that point, because if you tried that
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: at Levi Stadium, you don't have about twenty cops on
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: you that quick. It's not like it's like they're all
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: over the place. They can just pop out of nowhere,
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. You can't be acting stupid.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: And why would you go to a football games and
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: shotam cinities and a football player's mom. Dude? Was wrong
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: with you?
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: Bro?
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: These little kids standing around, Like if my daughters hadn't
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: listening to all that. Now I'm we're fighting, bro, I'm
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: just tackling him. Who I wasn't going down. Bro, You're
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: not going to be sitting there cursing in front of
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: my daughter and like just insulting people's moms. It's not cool, man,
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. It's a setup, really, Like where it rose
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: security and then they they take away his forty million
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: dollar bonus. I'm like, that's the setup to me, man.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I appreciate you checking in, Nick, and I'm
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: with you as far as where is security? Because that's
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: the thing is, like you got to protect these players,
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and you know, you can't just have fans allegedly yelling
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: what that guy did? You know, and some fans do
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: yell those things like that's a thing, and you can't
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: have players having to deal with that on their own.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: It can't be.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: But again, we're not saying, don't put words in my mouth.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: You know anybody listening where, And I'm saying, and DK
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: was right for doing what he did. No, he's he's
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: wrong for doing what he did. I know it's very
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: hard not to do what he did, but he's still
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: wrong for doing that.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: The central truth is.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: I've never hit I've never hit anyone.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're missing out on life here, Lorena. You should
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: hit someone tonight. Go out, go out on what's close
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: to you, Ventura Boulevard, close to me. No. Well, we
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: got to get to Koop's actions during the Broncos loss a.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Little bit later in the show, but.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: I can't say he deserves to get punched in the face,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe like the left arm, maybe the left arm.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: You feel like she's done that before.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Probably I'd imagine that probably has happened. Let me get
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: one more in here. We got Gabriel in Sue Falls.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Let's get Sue falls in the chat here. What's going on, Gabe,
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: you're on Fox, it's radio.
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: Appreciate taking a call. Guys, I'm with you. I think
• 34:05
  Speaker 11: d K should be suspended. It's it's unfortunate, but but fans,
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: we need to we need to start them. It's only
• 34:12
  Speaker 11: needs to start doing something or NBA whatever, he needs
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: to start doing something to the fans too. Otherwise, all
• 34:17
  Speaker 11: teams have horrible fans. It's it's unfortunate, but if they
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: just keep getting away with it, what can you do?
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you, man, I hear you.
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: I mean you should be suspended from ever going to
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: another NFL game.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: But right, right, if he said alleged, yeah, there's no
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: there's no need for that guy to be there ever again.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: And some people think that's that's extreme. That's not extreme
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: at all. You can't you can't go n word cward
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: like back to back. That is a combo platter that
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: does not belong in the stands ever, and you should
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: be gone absently athletes. But yeah, you're right, Gabe. Yeah, thanks,
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: mag good to hear from you. The other part of
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: this blows my mind. And so when DK was with
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: the Seattle Seahawks, they had played at Ford Field three
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: years in a row, and one of those years, DK
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: he pointed this guy out. He reported this guy to
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: team security, this same fan. So I don't know if
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: he's got something out for DK Metcalf, he's like super
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: troll fan in general. I don't know if he's just whatever,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: he's that guy who tries to get under the skin
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: of any player in another jersey, or there's something personal
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: with DK. But that's the backstory too, is this Yahoo
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: fan was up to some crazy shenanigans in previous years
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: to the point where DK had to report this guy
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: to Seahawks team security. So there is a backdrop with this,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: like you can't be a professional troll. And you know
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: there's a difference, right, there's boo you suck like that's
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: that is tip gold stuff in the stands, like that's
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: gonna happen. But you know, N words, c words, no man,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: no place for that ever. And it's unfortunate if that
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: indeed is what happened. If what was said, I don't know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: wasn't there, But I just know that he didn't wish
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: DK and merry Christmas in a happy New Year, and
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: that's what set DK off. He wanted to punch the
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: guy's lights out. It was some wild stuff, said had
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: to be. I just don't buy this explanation of the
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: fans saying no, I just called him his full name.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I didn't call him like the initials DK. I called
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: him like his whole name. And I don't know that's
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: what set him off. Slur slur, what slur me me slur?
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous, man, I don't buy it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I just don't feel free to check in your thoughts.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: I'm curious what you have to say. Eight seven, seven
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox Plenty. To get to tonight top
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: of the hour, I will get to an accomplishment that
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I think in the NFL is actually even better than
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: winning the Super Bowl. That on the way, lots of
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: random stuff as well. I got lame fortune cookies. I
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: got all kinds of non sports stuff to get to
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: Also, if you're a college football fan, a little later
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: next hour, a college football head coach says something not
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: in favor of his team and instead something in favor
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: of the sport as a whole. It can happen. It
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: kind of blew me away. But I'll share that with
• 37:26

  Speaker 4: before the draft when the MAVs got the number one pick.
