a reason why you do some of the things that
you do. Wow, Like, just because you want to live
a modest, meager type of lifestyle doesn't mean that you
have to drive a truck from your childhood. Bro, it
is okay to get another vehicle.

but it sounds like you're in a ten can.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I can't believe that. So what you got a cigarette
lighter plug in to use Moutube?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's one of those cassette tape sets where you up
really yeah and then you still see there. Yeah. Yeah,
you still got one.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Of those, because you probably do have a cassette tape
in your debt. It's a CD player, is it? Yeah,
it's a CD player. We're good. You still use CDs.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
It doesn't matter. It sounds awful.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I got a whole book of CDs and you really
sort of God.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's great.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, it's phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
There's certain things.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
God, you're married, by the way. Yes, if you were
a single like I girwu look at you and be like,
oh here we go.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh well, I don't know what would happen if you
pulled up to pick her up well for a date
in that I mean, come on, they're like, hey.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Hey, you selling that thing? You know what? Stuff we
can throw on them back there.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
They're like, wait, you look like the face on Grinder,
but you don't look seemed to be in a car
like that.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Like you know what, we got like four or five lawnmars.
We could fit back there. It's a home game for us.
But by the way, we are we are here having
a brand new YouTube channel on the show. We're excited
to announce it. It's two pros FSR. Be sure to hit
the subscribe button. Don't stop there, hit the thumbs up icon.
Comment away. Let us know who on the show you

(03:53):
agree with and who you think is completely wrong. But
check out our brand new channel on YouTube again. Just
search two pros FSR and subscribe. We want to skip
this out of the way. Man, it is What are
you going to do, because yeah, social media was alive

(04:13):
and well on Saturday, I wouldn't know.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, I gave it. I gave it a break on Saturday,
took I took time away, took a little time off
from from social Yeah, that was uh. I did not
I was there. I had to watch that in person.
What was the crowd split? You see, First of all,

(04:37):
we had more We probably had more people there. It
might have been like fifty two fifty five to their
you know, forty whatever. It was not a lot of
people there. I mean there was like I don't know, man,
I was I was joking before, I was joking before

(04:58):
the game, like this is crazy, Like imagine being the
ad of a school like this, Like no support there was,
Like literally it was such a small percentage of people supportive.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
By the way, and even the little bit of support
you're supposed to have Martin Jarman doesn't have because they're
trying to fire him based on everything that's transpired. So
I mean, there's literally like a hashtag a campaign the
whole thing on campus.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
So well, another one probably emerged after that weekend that
that game in that venue in particular.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Geez, man, all right, can I can I have kind
of step up the bat because you go back. I'm
gona be honest with you this this this actually pissed
me off.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Like this game pissed me off. Now it's not.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
For like the personal emotional reasons that like this was
one of my favorite bets of the week. Honestly, what
it is, it's like there's too much potential on that team.
There's too many good players on that roster. There's been
so much money invested into that program, into Jim Knowles,

(06:08):
Andy Kotalniki for them to come out and literally flop
flop like that, and we can sit there and we
can talk about, hey, they allowed Oregon to beat them twice,
or there was a couple injuries, bullshit. Like I'm gonna
say it, that's bs to me. This has happened now

(06:29):
three times in the history of college football where a
team that was zero to four has been a top
ten team since nineteen fifty five. Here are the only
two other times it's happened. Nineteen eighty five BYU got
upset by UTEP, nineteen fifty eight, Navy got upset by Tulane.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
That's it, and then Penn State.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
And I think what bothers me the most about it
is and this is not like at James Franklin or
shot at James Franklin. The truth of the matter is
like there's a lot of parody in college football. Like
I watched that game and I thought to myself, all right,
like if Niko and Malaiava's not there, does you cillly
win that game?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Probably not. He's that talented of a player where they.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Can have a few guys and they can have a
stud quarterback even on a team that's own four that
again one of the most the biggest underdogs you'll ever see,
and they can still find a way to win.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Some of these games.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
And so it's not I guess that's surprising because of
the way college football or the direction that's going. But
it ticks me off for the players because that program,
Penn State and then just being there on campus, the
fan base, everything else, there's so much behind it, and

(07:50):
every single time they underachieve, like you're you're not the
same vein of Michigan Ohio State.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
You're not. I'm sorry that.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
May come up, this pass go ahead.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
It makes me so mad though, for the players because
it's wasted. Like I I you know, I know Drew
a little bit. That's a great flipping kid, and I
don't know if it's him, I don't know if it's
the offense. Like I don't know if Andy cole Nikki
got called up to the Yankees and he forgot how
to hit like that, that happens, right, how many baseball
players we see to go to the Yankees and they
get there like, yeah, they're not as good as they

(08:24):
once were. They just they can't handle that pressure of
the big stage of blue blood like that. I'm not
sure what it is at Kansas. I watched him. He's innovative,
he's creative. I watch this Penn State offensive like it stinks.
It stinks, and look back. Maybe it's just alurs not
as good as I thought. Maybe I'm wrong, but I
don't think I am. I think I'm pretty damn good
at like what I do and evaluating teams, players, the

(08:47):
whole whole thing. And so I sit there and I
look at James Frank, I'm like, where else do we
want to point the finger? Like, like, where else are we
get to point it at this point? Because if I'm
a fan, if I'm a player, like I look at
what could have been this season, arguably rose talented team
I'm not gonna say ever, but at least at least

(09:09):
in the last two decades, and it's all gone to
waste now because they got a really, really tough stretch.
They gotta play Ohio State in Indiana back to back weeks.
I don't think they win both those games, and at
nine to three, they're not getting in.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
I'm sorry they're not. And it ticks me off because
of what could have been for.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
These players, what could have been for some of those guys,
you know as well as anyone LeVar guys came back
and so to sit here and watch Jerry Neuheisel, who's
never called a game before ever in his life.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Two days time to prepare.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, but by the.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Way, having trouble calling the place because he would have
his microphone up above his head because he used to
be in a position coach and talking to the players,
hitting the wrong button, couldn't even operate actually get the
plays in running laps around gymnalls.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
The whole thing was pathetic.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well yeah, I won't wait, I'm not usually out of
loss for words. Uh. All you had to do was
put a guy in the middle of that defense that
could run as fast as the quarterback. And it was

(10:39):
never done. And and literally, I mean there were there
were mistakes the on side. Give credit to u c.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
L A.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
They they saw something and they took advantage of it
and it worked. But they came out in that first
first drive and Penn State couldn't stop to run when
they made when they were able to get ahead of
the downs and of the chains, all they did was

(11:09):
allow for the receivers to clear it, clear it out.
The linebackers seemed to be in coverage as well, and
Nico ran. Nico ran them to a victory. And that
shouldn't When you have a team is talented and as

(11:31):
loaded as Penn states is, that just shouldn't happen. I'm
hoping that this is a wake up call for them.
It certainly is a reality check for our fan base
because we've always taken these games for granted, and now
it's like, now you get to feel what losing really

(11:53):
feels like. Like there's a disappointment when you lose a
big game and you can talk about, oh, we haven't
won the big game. Don't win the big game, okay,
but when you lose a game like that, the pain
I felt when that clock struck zero was way different
than the disappointment I felt when we lost in overtime,

(12:14):
double overtime to Oregon. It's felt different.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's a respectable loss.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I just didn't looking at the way we played in
that game, my most critical takeaway was we don't look
like a team an outfit that is improving. It looks
like a team that is struggling to figure out ways
to have success. And that just can't be what the

(12:44):
observation is when you're a major, major power five blue
blood program, it can't like saying, can't mention in the
same breath as some of those those teams like a
Michigan or an Ohio State. It's it didn't it again.

(13:06):
You can have a bad day and and you could
look at it and say, Okay, they had a bad day.
They you know, they cotpenstateed off guard. But for me,
because I go to all of these games and I
watch it and I break it down, you know, I
don't really watch as a fan.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I watch as if I were coaching the game or
if I was you know, okay, how what are the
in game adjustments? This is what they're trying to do.
They had no real strategy, honestly. I mean, you'd have
to assume it was very, very very simple in terms
of let's try to stay on time, let's let's try
to win the early downs and hope that we can

(13:47):
fight in the later downs. They and that's what they
really did. I mean, they stayed ahead. We really did
not slow them down in the first half. I don't
think they punted one time. If I recall oh, correctly,
I don't. I was in such shock. I might have
missed some of it, but I don't think they punted
one time in the first in the first half, and

(14:08):
and so it's one of those games. It's concerning to me.
It's disappointing, like you said, Q for me one hundred
percent looking at those young men in their faces and
seeing just the disappointment, which I would say that that
leads to what my biggest concern is. You know, your
biggest concern when looking at a team with so much

(14:31):
talent is did you lose them?

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Like?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Did they? Are they losing hope on the season? And
because you saw I saw something that, like I just
the the demeanor of them when they were walking off
of the field. Man, it just it wasn't good.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Do you think if they win, if they win that
Oregon game, does that happen on Saturday. I don't think
it does.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
I don't know. I don't know, because I don't like.
You gotta you got to shake off a loss, and
you gotta and you gotta have you gotta have yourself
ready and prepared to play that next week. Now, I'll
be the first one to say I won't I won't
throw stones from a glass house. I mean, but it
was a different time. When I was in school. We

(15:16):
lost a hell Mary last second kick, Minnesota beats us,
We go on a three game skit. We lost the
next two games. Now I think that was I think
the next game we were fighting the idea of we
knew we weren't going to have an opportunity to play
in the National Championship game. And I don't know past week. No,

(15:40):
I was thinking, I was talking when I was in school.
So I'm saying I don't want to be I don't
want to be a critical person of saying that their
emotions was the reason why they lost, because I know
that's how we lost when I was in school. This
is what I'm saying, the example I'm giving, So I
don't I don't want to sit here and say I'm
holier than that, say no that it couldn't have been
an emotional loss that took place. I just I just

(16:03):
don't think that they looked good coming off of a
rebound game like that should have been the game that
was dialed up doctors' orders. That's your prescription. Go play UCLA.
You'll get back in the win column. Get yourselves together,
you come back, you have you have homecoming with Northwestern,
get right in that game, and then then you're you're

(16:27):
really ready for the meat of the schedule to make
the run for the playoffs. You know. I just didn't
feel as though this team looked as they just didn't
look like they've improved. And that that's concerning my two concerns.
They didn't look like they have really improved as a team.
And is this locker room lost?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
But that's what.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Happens when you play cupcakes out the stretch, which was
talked about and discussed, and there's a reality to it,
like this is not that Dan and age of college
football anymore. Where you play this you assisious of the
blind for the first three weeks, and then you get
into some real games and you then struggle, and you
wonder why, I don't know what, maybe why other teams
have played power forward programs. They were prepared for the physicality,

(17:13):
they're prepared for the scheme, the you know, better talent
they're playing against. Here's what I know is this Penn
State program, said Ceiling. And it pains me to say
that I really like James Franklin and I'm not like
a believer that you need to always you know, there
just needs to be changed sometimes for change's sake.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
But based on how this season is going to go.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Nine, eight and four and it doesn't make the playoff,
we'll see what happens in a bowl game be meaningless
at that point, I would not be shocked if they
don't start looking looking around.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I just I don't know what other direction you go like.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
This was such a loaded up all in year, and LaVar,
I'm sure you know the details better than I do.
But you look at the past two years, the way
Michigan did it, two years ago, the High State did it.
This last year, this felt like that year for Penn
State and they wildly unachieved and it's literally taken them
to what we're one of the Week seven of college football.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I have no response to it other than other it's
a weird conversation for me because I do know a lot,
so I got to stay away from it just to
protect my own interest in the school's interest. But it
wasn't a good look, I'll say that. And while there's

(18:40):
still time, you got to say it's it's definitely a situation.
What what did they say to coach and uh and
in the program, you'd I'm not saying you lost your
job yet, but you do need to. And I think

(19:03):
it's taken on a different meaning of winning now. So
I hope they can wait.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
So look, yeah, if they beat Ohio State, you know
that might change the perception. Can't lose Indiana the next
week though, Yeah, I know Indiana has a I know
Indiana has a big one this week and won't find
more about them then, But I.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Just, man, that was that was tough to watch exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Confidence man like like I'll come away from a loss
and be like that's our It was like like the
Oregon game. It was like we had it. We had
that game, Like we had it. Defense ran out of gas,
but we had it. We could have got that game.
This game, I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh my god,
we're going to lose this game. We're We're really going

(19:53):
We're really going to lose it.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I'm really going to lose this bro.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
They were and it's the manner of what which some
of the things happened like they were on the sideline.
They were like dancing, they were throwing, they were they
were like like oop, do you and their coaches like
they got their holding, the coaches throwing like they're at
a bar mitzvah or something like that.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
I don't think people listening in other parts of the
country understand how little people care about UCLA.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Out here.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Nobody cares.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
There was nobody there.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Nobody cares. It's like they are a non story.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
There was like twenty people there and they were saying
over and it was really loud. Them twenty people were
really loud. You could hear it. You could hear it.
And their cheerleaders showed up too. Yeah, cheerleaders.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
You know. The other observation.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
I was just thinking this, how many times, like UCLA
is the only time I can think of it. But like,
you know, Drew allis viewed a potential first round talent, right,
how many times has he actually brought them back to
winning the game, like versus a powerful opponent.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
He's always come close. I don't. I don't know that.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
He's ever the organ They didn't obviously.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
I mean they came up short last year too in the.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Big past game.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
They didn't.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean I literally keep thinking it's like at
some point too, when I look at the Penn State team,
you know, ultimately too that it's players, it's young men.
Someone's got to step up, like someone's got to make
a play to change the tide and change the way
things are going. I don't know who that guy is

(21:34):
on this team, and and honestly, like I look at
Drew All and I think, like, I mean, come on, man,
like we're gonna make one of these happen. Like I'm
a believer in you people, people who are naysayers or
people who talk about the stats versus the good teams.
I try to push back and rebuttal every time, Like
I try to support that kid every time. He's an

(21:56):
Ohio kid, homegrown. I know he's at Penn State, and
I think he does all the right things, says all
the right things. I think he's got all the talent
in the world. But he's also got to figure this
out at some point where he's got to bring them back.
And I think it again, USC is the last last
game I can think of, maybe the only game I think.
I think if he's really started versus a power forward

(22:17):
program and brought them back against.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
And something would debate that one the guy by the
name of Tyler Warren that might have been the one
that brought him back, But I will say he was
the starter of the game though he was there. And
that's interesting that you brought up that game because they
struggled in that game and they they trilled twenty. They
could have lost that game very easily and we were

(22:42):
able to, you know, right, ride Tyler Warren to a
late heroic victory. But we struggled against USC. It could
have very well dropped one against USC last year?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Was that the one that Cowhard called at half?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah? Yeah, it was over. He was at the State.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
How did he say it? Jonas?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
You guys, I don't remember. I think Petros does it
better than me.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
By the way, Alan in that game was thirty or
forty three for three and ninety one yards, two touchdowns,
three interceptions, and.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
The stat line sounds good outside of its Yeah, sounds
good outside right. I don't know, man, I'm I'm I'm
fighting off emotions all week. I slept Sunday. Well, I
was mad for you, so thank you. There you go.
I slept Sunday, man. I almost beat the hell out
of a ball boy. He was taunted, like, I want

(23:35):
Penn State to be good. I do, dude, It's better
for college football. It is.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
It's better for the matchups.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
It is. It is. They took a step back. It's ridiculous,
big step back. Man.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
And by the way, but by the way, to the
Penn State fan base, I don't care about your white
outs or when you play games. If you can't bet
u ceiling the rose with no one there, stop talking
about the start of your games, all right to the
entire Penn State fan days. Stop stop you other problems
tries when, when and where you play your games.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Apparently, hey, we weren't very many people there. I'll tell
you that just wasn't very many people. I thought it
was a scrimmage game. We were sitting there joking, yucking
it up. Die selfies. We ain't five six minutes into
the first quarter of the game and my face was

(24:32):
on the ground.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
And would would someone have been able to hear it?
Like in that stadium?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Bruh, bruh? It was. It was like it was I'm
telling you, it was like the students that that show up, like, hey,
I got these tickets, I'm going to the game. They
were like right behind us. We were looking at the band.
We were making fun of the band. I'm like, well,
I was I speak for me. I was making I
was like, man, look like a high school band. I

(24:59):
was like this say major football. Like my words was
choking me. My words were choking me. By the end
of the first quarter, boys like we gave you that work. Bro,
the ball boys running down the sideline like yeah, yeah, goy,

(25:21):
he's talking bag going down the sideline. He's taking us
going talking really bad going down the sideline. Hey, bro,
it almost really popped off. You know, you're not you're
not You're not You're not allowed to do that. You're
not supposed to do that, and he was doing it,

(25:42):
and I was there to remind him of the rules.

Comple Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Tim touched up. Why I shut that up beautifully?

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
If you're saying sticher, don't overthink it, right.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
He's working on Jeremy Chin.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
See just he wooks the outside leverage and Tyler Warren
sets him up well.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Daniel Jones puts.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
The ball in a perfect spot.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
I mean, you really can't cover that. If you're Jeremy Chin.
He's a catcher catch for the touchdown.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
There you go, Fox TV on the call. That is
your tire rack play of the Day. For over forty years,
tire Rex has been helping customers find the right tires
for how, what and where they drive. Shifted Fast and
free back by free Road has a protection with convenient
installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com.
The way tire buying should be out of the bullpen

(28:11):
into the booth. Brady Quinn.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Hell yeah, good job, buddy, Thanks, good job.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Is that the first time you've ever been in the
tire rack play of the day. That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't I can't imagine one. I
was not the Tyract player of the day. It was
Tyler Warren. But yes, that was the first time I've
been a part of one.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
So nice. That's pretty cool. You know you got some
love Vilma sent you some love during during his play
call shot. Yeah. Yeah. And then they talked about how
Dylan Gabriel was almost named Brady Gabriel. Did you know
that he was almost.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, yeah, I've talked to Dylan.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Yeah, yeah, he's and he's a really great kid. Like
that was one of the things that I think in
this whole Cleveland Brown's quarterback deal. I talked with him
back during his time in Oregon and he had told
me that I thought, you know, that was really neat.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
But even going there, I.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Just kind of thought to myself, like, I hope it
works out for him.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
You know, I'm always.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Hopeful it works out for Like what one of these quarterbacks,
who did I just see this weekend that made a comment?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
I was like, a man, Oh it was it was
a coach. I saw a coach in the field. He said, Man, Cleveland.
I still can't figure it out. I said, yeah, I go.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
I hope, I hope one of these days they do though,
you know, I said, I just I'm not sure what
it's going to take. But it's it's unfortunate they just
they can't seem to get right.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
You know, they'll be close, they'd be close, find ways
to lose.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
So what So what was that twenty four hours? Like
where you're at Big Noon and then get the news
and next thing you know, you're you're off to Indianapolis
to call CULTU Raiders.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Yeah, so I'll be very honest about it.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
I got a call five minutes before our show started
and it was a call from someone. Well there's a
text message and then I called him and he's like,
please call me as soon as possible. And this person
he texted me like fifteen minutes before, and he knows
like what I'm doing. So it's not like one of
those things where like my dad, for example, who never
knows what I'm doing where I'm at, he like hits me.

(30:21):
He hits me up at like eleven am on a
Saturday's like, chops, what are you doing? We go out
to the land and shoot a little bit, and I'm like, Chopper,
I'm on TV's.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Ah yeah, that's right.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Stop, it's not that So yeah, chop yeah chopped her
on Fox right now? How do I get to that
on the TV? So I call him and the only
thing he told me at that point was we need
you to go call the Raiders Colts game like tomorrow Indianapolis.

(30:53):
Can you do it? And I'm like, I mean again,
full disclosure. I think everyone who's listened to our show
knows I've been under the weather. I'm not exactly sure
what's going on health wise. Honestly, I'm trying to figure
it out. I've been battling some sort of like sidus
infection yea cold sickness.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Or whatever for like forever, for like six weeks.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
So I've been honestly behind the scenes, like doing my
best I can to like medicate and try to get
rid of this.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
It just hasn't happened. So I kind of said to
almost like, look, I go, let me think about it.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
I go, I'm honestly under the weather, and I go
beyond that, like I have no time to prepare for this.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
So he goes call me after the show, so we
we get into.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
The show and I have a break where I've got
like a couple of segments off, and I reached out
to my wife and I just said, you know, can
we swing this Sunday.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Can you get some help with the kids and sports.
She's like, yeah, of course, I said, Okay.

Speaker 4 (31:50):
So I call him back after the whole deal, and
that's when I not only kind of committed to the game,
but also found out what had happened.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
And so at that point, you know, I'm not sure
what to think because it's.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
Such a I'm like, it's such a mix of emotions,
Like you're concerned obviously for Mark, and as the details
come out, it gets more bizarre.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
So you just have a lot of questions.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
You're excited for the opportunity, but at the same time,
I'm like, dude, I cannot do this the way I
want to do this, Like, and I think most people
would agree, Like if you do something like how you
do anything, that is how you do everything right, Like
you want to do the best you can.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
And it's like, and I've called.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Games like I've done that, you know, in years past,
so I know what it takes. I know how fickle
fan bases can be, and I'm like, this is this
is not good. So I decided to commit to it.
I decided to help out, and honestly, like everyone was
really cool and then helped me out kind of figure
out how to do it. I got I told one
of the things I told them though, I was like, look,

(32:50):
I've got to this. There's been this gentleman who's been
like helping me out drive me back and forth to
some of these Midwest gves, and I was like, he
has to get.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Home to his family.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
So I was like, even if I wanted to go
directly to Indianapolis Saturday night, I couldn't because like like
him and I ever were like talking on the drives,
like he made a promise to get back. So he
ended up driving me again the next morning. But like
that was our whole thing, was he needed to get back.
I wanted to get back because I was my best chance,
like watching as much film as possible at home in

(33:20):
my office where I've got like a good setup for
it to then prepare for it. So like that's fine,
just just drive over Sunday morning. So I did that
and put the kids in bed. Was up to about eleven,
kind of trying to watch and ketch up on whatever
film I could, did a production meeting, talked to coaches
on both sides quickly. They were nice enough to like
make additional time obviously because you know, typically have production meetings.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Well that already took place.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like some of these coaches like had talked to Mark,
had met with Mark, so then when they heard the news,
they're like, what the hell. And then obviously the news
continued to come out and they're like, damn. So, you know,
I get there Sunday and I'm meeting a lot of
people for like the first time, you know, and I'm
just trying to get down some people's names, and then
I'm kind of rushing to the field to talk to

(34:04):
players and coaches guys I knew, and to do the
best I could to kind of just prepare for it.
But I think the worst obviously, the worst part about
it is when you call a game, you hope the
game's close one because it's more fun, it's more enjoyable
for both fan bases, but also it's easier on you
as an analyst. You just talk about the game. When

(34:26):
that game turned into a blowout, and by the way,
it was a blowout in the middle of the third quarter.
I looked at Chris Myers and I'm like, this is
like worst case scenario for someone in my position, because
you know you, this is where you really like and
unfortunately enough because of you guys, like we follow all
this so thankful to you guys, thankful for our show.
Like I could talk about other stuff in the league

(34:46):
or you know whatever, but like that's the worst case
to be.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
And then to make matters worse.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Christina Pink, our sideline reporter, she suffered a concussion last week.
So typically you've got like the sideline reporters who will
come up with different stories about player, coaches and all
that stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
We had no silite reporter, Chris, and I didn't.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Even realize that. Dang, that's all. That's yeah, you guys
never went down to the sun.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
So here's the bigger question of it all because you
do a hell of a job. I listened to the call,
flipping in between the games the way that I do.
You know, I don't have the all twenty twos, but uh,
you know, I definitely made sure when I saw that
you were calling the game, I was like, let me
make sure I'm on it.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
By the way, some of these cats in their booths,
like Sanchez set up. I was like, really, I was like,
this is what he's got up there. I was like,
I never had this. Sweet I mean no, no, no,
like the setup so you know they have a dv
sport up there were I could just like like rewind
place and like real time will kind of flow back

(35:46):
and forth on an all twenty two to see it,
and I'm like they got this every week and they're
like yeah. I was like, damn, I'm like I never
had this. Stuff like this makes it calling it easy?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Will you be continuing to do it?

Speaker 4 (36:01):
That is a question that I honestly can't answer. I
don't know any of those answers right now. As look again.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
If you were the first call on this weekend and
and duress and then panic and trying to figure it out,
I would assume the job that you do and your
preparedness and your professionalism should should have shined through enough where.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
If you say, are you saying Sanchez is going to
be out a while?

Speaker 2 (36:30):
I don't. I don't worry about who's not in the game.
I do the riverside thing and the best, the best
next man up, who could have been the first man
up by the way. You know, but I'm just saying,
you know, if there were the situation where you weren't
able based upon circumstances to bring that guy back, I mean,

(36:52):
gotta go to wild thing out of the pen. Come on, man,
gotta go, Come on man. I'm saying, yeah, I mean,
I think you're dependable. I appreciate it. Thank you, I
appreciate it. Thank you listening.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
I don't I know, I don't know what's gonna happen.
I'm just saying, yeah, you guys are helping me out
in more ways than one. Speaking of helping the guy out, depending,
the Prostate Cancer Foundation are here to mind you that
help does a long game and screening for prostate cancers
easier than ever. A simple boys can lead to better
treatment options and better outcomes.

It, and for that we turned it over to our

Speaker 2 (38:33):
You're line what up? Guys?

Speaker 3 (38:37):
All right?

Speaker 1 (38:37):
So have you heard of the the nine to nine
to nine Challenge?

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Do you know what that is? Nope?

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Okay, I didn't know what it was either, but apparently
it's been around for a herd of the time. It's
where you go to a baseball game and you are
supposed to consume nine hot dogs, nine beers over the
course of nine innings. Now, this has been a thing
amongst fans for a while, but the Philadelphia Philly are.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Nine hot dogs, nine beers and what over over the
course of nine innings? Oh nine in yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
And so the Phillies this this postseason are kind of
getting in on the game and they are selling a
pre made nine nine nine challenge box.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Now, they're not going crazy, that's smart.

Speaker 5 (39:18):
Yeah, but the hot the hot dogs are fun size
and the beers are petite. But it comes in a
cool little nifty box with a scoreboard so you can
track your progress throughout the game.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
And it is almost like you're mad. It's like when
you're old, like me, like you have them like timed out.
Yeah you bad day, bad day exactly, yeah, day and time. Okay,
I don't even.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Know if I could do the petit size beers and
hot dogs through nine innings. You can do the Eddy
Biddy at some point, don't you like, don't you want
something else, like do you have to just sit with
hot dogs for nine innings?

Speaker 9 (39:55):
You can change up the condiments to what relish versus
you know onon ketch up right, Yeah right, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
I mean giving one a little different. Put barbecue on one.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
That just feels like you just mustard and ketchup versus
just mustard irectly catch up.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
My personal favorite mustard. Did I have chili, sweet onions
and jalopanios? You put that on a chili dog? Yeah,
fire too.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
The whole box costs fifty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
That is a challenge.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Yeah, there's a catch to this.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Hold on, there's a catch. It is going to cost
you fifty dollars. Damn, I could do it fifty.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
To get me.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
One inning, says one inning.
