hour extravaganza, and we'll get into all the details of
that and including what it looks like for sho Heyo

(00:22):
Tani in game four. Plus, we're gonna have a conversation
about the team that is officially backed. The Kansas City
Chiefs are a problem. And speaking of problems, they're not
alone in the AFC, but for different reasons. What the
hell's going on in Cincinnati? They're head coach calling out
the defense, players only meetings, et cetera, et cetera. Plus,
we got another edition of in case you missed it.

It's a pretty decent song. But I wouldn't have choke.
I mean, I get it though you're a lost boy.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
To say something as somebody who's authored a few bad
songs himself when I was in a band. This song
is bad. I am a qualified judge. This song is brutal,

It is.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
It is a black and drag edition of two pros
and a cup of Joe here on Fox Sports Radio.
No Brady Quinn, it will be LeVar Arrington and myself.
For those of you that are new to this version
of the show. Basically, we're black and dragged because LeVar
is black and I look like drag.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, so you are Dracula. Why would you say I
look like I'm black? No, I'm black.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
You all look like your Dracula.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Your Dracula by twenty three and meter what what the
hell have I look like I'm black?

game that just ended like I don't know it was down. Yeah,
the uh the World Series game that went just under
six hours and forty minutes last night.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Into the eighteenth inning between the Dodgers and the Blue Jabs.
I want to lose. Yeah, apparently not.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Freddie Freeman with the walk off in the eighteenth. So
that was fun. So we'll have we'll have more on
that coming up shortly as we get into all these
sights and sounds from that at Dodger Stadium, which was
a long one last night.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
You couldn't have asked for a better game, though, right.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I mean, oh yeah, if you're the TV people and
all that stuff, like, you couldn't ask for a better,
better matchup. It was a class well better matchup you
could have, but it was. It definitely was a classic game.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I would say it out did the matchup on Monday
night between the Chiefs and the your Commanders Kansas.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
They don't look bad at all. They look real. They
really look real feisty. They look real feisty, bro.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
The whole you know, that whole well Super Bowl hangover thing.
I love how that they're getting old.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, Like I love how that doesn't apply to the Chiefs,
like it doesn't apply to the Patriots back when they
were in their dominant era. It doesn't apply to Kansas City.
And now they've got receivers coming back healthy, they've got
Travis Kelcey was still you know, there's a couple of
plays that gave me like what was that? And then
Patrick Mahomes just out there dealing man and the defense

(07:07):
is still holding up there out of the bargain.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
The defense has carried them.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, they have always been steady and how they are
able to represent that team.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Their defense has been more consistent than the offense past
two years.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Yes, it's always been their defense.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
It's their offense that has the ability to truly truly
set them apart. Like Patrick Mahomes is what everybody thinks
he is, and Andy Reid is everything that we think
he is. But I think if you were to ask
Andy Reid what is the lifeblood of this team, I

(07:51):
think he would say his defense. I think he would
say coach bags and his defense. I don't think that
he would just necessarily go straight to the offensive side
of the ball. But that is a talented group. They
are deep, they are all back. I'm telling you, Pachecko

(08:14):
doesn't get crazy amounts of yards, but he is so
effective and demoralizing guys when he runs the ball. He
has like this impact when he runs the ball, like
I'm coming out here as the hammer. We are putting
him out there. And Kareem Hunt is a hammer too.

(08:35):
You got two hammers. So with all of the all
of the wonderful past plays that we see off as
as a Q would say, if he was here, what
is it off the off the what is it called?
I forget what it's called. But anyways, like Patrick Mahomes
can throw the ball and deliver the form, that's probably.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
The right term now done go.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
It's his ability to be able to deliver the ball
from so many different angles with the same amount of accuracy.
They they highlighted it during the game last evening, just
discussing how there's probably never been a quarterback that's played
this game that can see the field as well as

(09:23):
Patrick Mahomes is able to see it. Yeah, it's it's
it's amazing. The pilot there, yeah, they said, yeah, they
said yeah. They said he had a fighter pilot focused
like uh, you know Razor, like just.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Totally dialed in.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
But if if you can't pressure Patrick Mahomes and you
can't contain him within pressuring him, meaning if you send
an overload, he's going to get you. If that overload
doesn't get there quickly and and dis up him to

(10:00):
the point of where he has to run, run to
buy time, not move or not move around, but he
has to run. That's your only chance against this team.
You got to be able to stop their run. So
so that creates one of the most daunting tasks that

(10:21):
you could ever have, is that to think the best
quarterback in the game has a running attack and it's
a dual head monster. Which you've always had two running
backs pretty much on on good teams, well some of them.
I don't know about all of them, but you've had

(10:42):
You've had multiple running backs that can carry the load.
This is a team that has multiple running backs in
the backfield that are effective. Their offensive line is doing
very nicely and being able to open up gaps and
create opportunities in the running game, and are protecting him
fairly well in the passing game.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
That's just balance. With Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
As your quarterback is a very very difficult task and
it's not going to get any easy or moving forward
considering if all of his weapons stay healthy. I mean,
they're faster than what they were when they had Tyreek Hill.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Chiefs of Bills is the next one on the slate.
For the early gut feeling going into that game tells
you because I'm fascinated.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
To see how it plays out.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Where is it at in Buffalo? Yeah, you know, my
early gut says to me, it's it's definitely going to
be a fight. That game is definitely going to be
a preview of probably the two best teams out there.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know how good Kansas City looks right now? They're
favorite at Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
I mean, as they should be. They should be.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
But that's an impressive I don't want to say feet,
but Buffalo looked pretty good coming off that bye week.
James Cook adds another dynamic to that team. Josh Allen,
the reigning MVP of the league, and Kansas City sitting
there going on the road with the way that they're performing,
in the way that they're playing, and the odds makers

(12:23):
are saying, yeah, that's about right. They should be favorite
in Buffalo. They're just too balanced. They're so talented and
they're so balanced now. And when I say balanced, I
mean all three receivers, tight end, two receivers, tight end,
whatever it is you want to call it. With their backfield,

(12:46):
with their defense, you cannot you can slow them down
like Washington slowed them down. They did not have crazy
offensive output early in the game. It wasn't like they
came out and from from gun to gun, like gun
to finish, they were dominating Washington. Washington was in the game.

(13:11):
They turned the ball over early in the game, they
had a nice drive going. They didn't have their starting quarterback.
That should be mentioned. You didn't have Jane Daniels playing
in the game. This was a very very banged up Washington,
Washington Commander's team. You know, then Tunzul goes out injured,

(13:34):
it's an injured team. It's not a healthy team. But
with that being said, once they got that thing going
and their defense came out and they showed up early. Anyway,
they got the turnover, they they gave the ball back,
they held up and didn't allow Washington to get right

(13:54):
into the end zone. So to me, when you when
you look at what Kansas City was able to do
in last evening's game, it's going to be a game. Yeah,
it's certainly going to be a game with Buffalo. But man,
the way they look right now, they're pretty they're starting
to look pretty scary. It also like, let's let's say Buffalo,

(14:19):
you know, puts on a show and wins that game.
Like that's never been the issue for Buffalo, like they
the Buffalo can win these games in the regular season,
it's the postseason in which they seemingly come up short
and and and basically everybody in the AFC outside of
the Bengals with Joe Burrow comes up short against the Chiefs.
So it's like this, Yeah, this is this is gonna

(14:40):
be a fun game. It's obviously the marquee game if
you're looking at the afternoon slate or the late games
if you will, in the NFL this weekend. But the
way the Chiefs are rolling right now, it's the It's
the best the offense has looked in quite some time,
and the defense is still a problem. And look, the
James Cook factors are know one only Jonathan Taylor's got

(15:01):
more more yards rushing this year than he does in
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
So he can be in consistent at times, like sometimes
he disappears in games that you you really would like
to see him have, Like this is one of the
games where I would say he can he can solidify
himself and in some ways, and being in that big
game and having a very nice showing against Kansas City,

(15:30):
I think would go a long way for him because
I feel like He's never really discussed or talked about.
He's never transitioned into being like the most elite back,
like in the same conversation as a Saquon or a
you know, a tailor, you know, and in terms of
him being the most elite back or Derrick Henry. But

(15:54):
he has that type of talent. He has that type
of skill, and a big game against the Chief I
think would go a really, really long way.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, I think you'd go a long way.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
It is two pros and a cup of Joe here

(17:57):
center field, Parshal Freddie Freeman, Mister World Series ends the

five seven e LA Sports. That's your tire rack play

of the day. For over forty years, Tyraq has been

has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Tiraq dot com.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
The way tire buying should be six hours and forty minutes,
just under that. For a baseball game, that's a lot.
It's a long time man, that's a lot.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Well do you think some of them I bet you
some of them went in the the locker room, took
a nap, got food. Baseball is pretty casual, man. I mean,
I doubt that's what I doubt that's what happened, honestly.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
But I was thinking the same thing.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
I mean, it is pretty I mean I got an
opportunity to see how it works when I was working
in Washington for for the local radio station, and we
were the official radio station for the Nationals, so we
had a ton of access and I was able to
kind of see how they moved. Now, this is the

(19:22):
World Series, so I'm sure people they stayed maybe more engaged.
But it's no thing to be in the you know,
in the locker room in the clubhouse, you know, just
doing your own thing. Well, if there's like if there's
a rain delay, obviously you're going to go back and
you know, get a bite to eat and do what

(19:43):
you do. Crustables or uncrustables whatever they're called, those are
thrown in there.

Speaker 9 (19:49):
They did show on the broadcast they actually brought out
fruit trays in the dugout the game went so long,
well and watermelon.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Ye nice, because this is the guy in the bullpen
that that like come and go.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, those guys are going to the beer carts. Yeah yeah,
I'm saying I'm speaking more of a bullpen, not.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Another By the way, what what sweet did they take
that fruit tray out of to deliver to those guys?

Speaker 4 (20:17):
Like are you guys? You guys eating this?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Probably not, We're gonna ahead and take this down there.
But it's also if you're a fan at that game.
Let's just let's break down what the day was. If
you're a fan and you're like, I paid a lot
of money for these tickets, I'm going to the World Series.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
You got your money.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
First pitch was five o'clock local time. Because of traffic,
depending on where you're coming from, you probably start to
head out there around two thirty three o'clock and then
the track yeah, and then.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
No man, yeah, because I like noon.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well one, I mean, but if you if you had
work and you worked a half day, all right, so
let's say you have to thirty three o'clock to get
out there.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
And and also the traffic.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
They showed the traffic after the game, So if you
stayed for the entire game, say you got there at
three thirty, for another hour, that's like, like we're talking
nine hours getting out of the parking lot, yeah, because
it's a very like it's not it's not.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
The easiest, No, it's parking lot to get out of.
Like it's it's like, yeah, it's kind of a little
side streets to get out of there.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
For people listening across the country, when you hear the knockup. Oh,
you guys show up late and you leave early. You
kind of have to, Like in certain situations, you show
up late because you're trying to get to the event,
and you leave early because you're trying to get out
of the event.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Like it's it's.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Really trying to get out, that's true. So like these
fans put in nine ten hours to go see this game,
Like that's a long ass time to commit to that.
And then the best part is, Yeah, we're gonna go
ahead and run it back today five o'clock. Yeah, Yeah,
we're gonna go ahead and and run that whole thing
back today. I just wonder what's the psychology and the

(22:08):
mentality for the team that loses a game like that,
because especially if you're the team that's the underdog going
into it, and you're the Blue Jays and you add
leads a couple of different times in that game and
you watch the lead go away and Shoheyo Tani's performance
was unbelievable. The guy was on base nine times, intentionally

(22:28):
walked like five times in that game. Because at a
certain point they were like, f this, We're just not
going to pitch to the guy. It's not worth it.
I just wonder, if you're Toronto, how do you feel
in that clubhouse knowing you just lost that game and
it took yeah, just under seven hours.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah, you don't like to lose those type of games.
But I mean they took a two to one series
lead by getting the victory. Think if you're Toronto, you
feel pretty good about yourself because it takes two to dance, right,
it takes two to tango, meaning that that amount of

(23:08):
time that it took for the game to be decided,
they were the other team. They just didn't finish out
on top. And whether the game went for six hours
or three hours, sixteen hours or or two hours, it
doesn't matter. It still only counts as one game. So
as a competitor, when you get an opportunity to come

(23:29):
back to the table, it's not like it's a three
to zero, three to zero series where they've been dominated.
It's been a hard fought series so far. So if
I'm the Blue Jays, I'm I'm feeling positive about it.
Try to steal one, then they go back to Toronto, right,
That's how it works. I think you try to get

(23:52):
one here and you feel confident after coming out of
a game like that, it might be more of an
emotional letdown and just kind of a hangover for the
for the Dodgers to pull that out in the fashion
that they did here, Yeah, in Los Angeles, like you

(24:15):
would assume that all the pressure was on the Dodgers,
And if I'm the manager for the Blue Jays, I'm
letting them know that that pressure mounting is not on us.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
It's on the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
The pressure is for the Dodgers to show up, to
perform and to win and win it all, not.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
For us to do it. We're just here to be
a part of the show. You know.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I wonder as well too. And maybe this doesn't apply
to him because he's such a freak show. But so
Tani has the night that he has last night or
the morning, depending on where the hell you were watching
that game at, and you're seeing him on base as
many times as he was, whether he's you know, you know,
hitting a double into the gap to score a run,
whether he's hitting a couple of bombs like whatever. It is,

(25:00):
like he's on base nine times last night, he's pitching today,
And so I know that look, yeah, that it's different
because you know, he wasn't out there throwing pitches, so what.
But still he's on the basis like he was a
part of that game all the way through. And I
know that he was just dhing. I know he wasn't

(25:21):
playing the field. I know, but you're you're asking that
guy who just took part in an eighteen inning, seven
hour game to come out the very next day less
than twenty four hours later. Oh, here's the ball, You're
starting Game four the World Series. I just I wonder
if that's going to have an impact on him because
he's you're also asking him not only to pitch, but

(25:42):
keep doing what you're doing at the plate, which has
been unbelievable to watch. But that's a quick turnaround for
a guy who was out there for as long as
he was. And yes, maybe he wasn't running hard the
entire time because he was getting intentionally walked, but he
was trying to steal bases. He was at least out
there the entire time. I do wonder if that's an
advantage for Toronto. When you do radio, you do radio

(26:06):
six times during the course of the week, right, Yeah,
you gotta show up every single time, so do you?
And doing so maybe people don't realize that there's there's
a process that goes into being able to do what
we do and do it successfully.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Would you say that you get better as you go,
Like for me, I feel like I get better every
every week. I feel like I get better with my
performances as I go through the week, like every once
in a while, you know, I might start off faster
on a Monday, but generally speaking by Wednesday Thursday, like

(26:49):
I've hit my stride and now the week is beginning
to come to an end, and then I wrap up
with a strong showing on Saturday. Like That's how I
feel about what I do. I think when you do
what you're you're a proact doing and you've done it
for so long and you love what you do. Because

(27:12):
he looks like he loves what he does, I wouldn't
know him. I don't know him, and obviously the language barrier,
I certainly wouldn't get to know him. If I was
around him, it would just be a more of a
you know, put my hand up and wave high to him, right,
shake and shake his hand, maybe by whatever it may be.

(27:33):
But I think guys like that they only they only
get better as they go, Like you're not. You're not
going to come in tomorrow and be like, off, that
was a tough one yesterday, Like, oh well, I guess
I'll ask the bid on this show today, Like you're
going to come in, You're going to crack the mic,
and you're going to do what you need to do
to set the show up. Guy to show drive show

(27:54):
boom boom boom. I think it's the same thing when
you have a high level player like a show Hey,
he's not going to be impacted by pretty much anything,
not a death in the family, not not. The only
thing that I think would would hold a guy like
show ha a Tani back from having a seriously productive

(28:18):
game is health. I think that's the only thing that
I can hold him back. I told you, I feel
like when you look at him, he's like he's like
a cyborg. He's like one of them dudes. They're just different.
Like I always looked at Peyton Manning like he's just
he's just different. He doesn't seem like he's all the
way fully of uh homo sapien erectus.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
You know, he's a big dude. Look like he's a
big guy. He's a big dude.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Bro he's not but a good looking big dude like that.
It's imposing the way he looks Stanton, he's not like married,
you know. Yeah, well I wasn't saying it in that way.
I mean I don't think, you know, I'm certain he's
a heart throb too many, I mean probably it's probably

(29:10):
like several millions of people that probably would love to
have his baby or he's married. Now, I mean it
doesn't matter, Yeah, it doesn't matter. I mean he's a Dodger.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I mean, his dog got a bobblehead for God's sakes,
you know, Like that's how much of a select And.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
That's another part of this that should be mentioned as well, right,
Like you're talking about the celebrity of a player that
has built it off of real merits. It's not hype. Yeah,
And so he's an opportunity. He's in, he's in the
midst of a run where he's putting himself, he's edging

(29:50):
his his his name, etching his name into the history books.
So why wouldn't you want to pitch after that long
a six hour game, like the spotlight will be on
who's playing today? For the very reasons that you said,
long ass game? How do you mentally come back from it?

(30:10):
How do you perform? And if he comes out as
a pitcher and performs at a high.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Level, I mean, that's an amazing deal.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Also the other the other thing, as far as like
the star power, as far as like the star power
from Mars just changing the dials on the TV, as
far as the star power goes for Shoho Tani, the
fact that he doesn't speak the language and is this

(30:36):
much of a superstar shows you how damn good?

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Imagine that well?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
And you can't even really market in here helps out
of being a dodger.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
For example, if you were like in the UFC in boxing,
if you're trying to promote a star. What took What
has helped Canelo is the fact that he started to
learn English, like he started, so it started to transcend.
Not just you know, he's one of these great Mexican fighters,
but he lives out here now basically full time, and

(31:06):
he has started to learn the language and communicate.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
That's the one side.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
And in boxing you could be brash, right, so he
he's learned the language, but it's not it's not super fluent,
and he'll he'll he.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Knows all the bad words.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
He knows all the bad words, and that's all he'll
hit you with it, like hey, hey, hey, I'm going
to do the fight, but hey, f off, yeah, like
you want pay day, pay day?

Speaker 10 (31:37):
You want to day day? Of course I gave you
fing pay day. You get out of here, You get
out of here. And it's so good because he can
whoop your ass with that. You get that out of here?

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Right great?

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Could you imagine if show he started learning English and
every once in a while you'd be like, hey, I'm
going to knock the s out of the ball tonight,
Like I'm gonna beat I'm gonna beat the cover up
off of that that ball.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
And I like whatever it is?

Speaker 3 (32:01):
If he had like a little bit of trash talk
to what put it to you?

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Like this?

Speaker 3 (32:06):
It fits the brand and the personality of what Mexican
boxers have. It's that tough mochism approach to being a boxer.
They got chins, we're gonna we're gonna grind it out
as tech warriors.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
If Shohatani came in on something like whatever it is
that fits the mold and the brand of what he
represents and was able to capture that knowing that that's
what it is, because that's not it's not a it's
it's not a what's interesting like in youth league, like

(32:40):
Asian Asian baseball players are pretty dope. Like like World Series,
like Little League World Series. There, it's like always a
team that's from you know, Japan or from China that
are competing to try to win nineteen. That's been a conversation.
You know, south of Williamsport by the way, PA, you

(33:02):
know Williams home of Home of the World Series, Lily
World Series. You know, whatever that brand is that they
established as they're coming up through the ranks. If Otani
was able to tap into that and be able to
actually embody it and communicate it, even if it's not

(33:24):
at the highest levels in English, but you can communicate
it well enough for Americans to get behind it, look
at it would go to a whole, entire, entirely different level.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Many pakiow like if you if you watch Manny Pacio's
first fight, like the first time he got on HBO
and he fought and he was a big time underdog.
I think he was a replacement fighter. I don't even
like his English.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I don't think they said his name right, yeah again
like Lampley and then was messing his name up.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
It was spotty at best, and then he worked on it.
It got better and better and better, and the guy
became a superstar where you kind of need that if
you want to.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
And leveraged it to become an ambassador of his country,
like he like went into politics.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
He was there for a long time.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
And then the show Heo Tani details on his contract,
so they get it's seven hundred million dollars they gave him,
and there's reports out that they made that money back
and then some in the first year on international sales,
on tickets, all the revenue that came along with it.
They've already made that money back and have made money
off of Shoeo Tani. And he doesn't speak a lick

(34:34):
of English, not a lick the second he develops that
skill set.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
But does he need to, you know, maybe that's his superpower. Well,
I mean, he can't come on this show.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
He doesn't.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
You can't find a way to hate him if he
can't give you a reason to hate him. And you
know Americans love to hate hate him. That man might
start speaking English and people be like, what a douchebang
hey buddy, like wait, wait all this time, I thought

(35:07):
this was a really nice dude, and then it tunes up,
like then it tunes in and you can start to
hear what he's saying and the type type of personality
in person he is. You're looking at basically a blank
slate and making an opinion, your judgment and in your
opinion of show Hea Tani should be your judgment and opinion.

Speaker 11 (35:26):
Of every athlete you see. It should be based off
of how they play. And you get to do that
with Show hey, cause you don't get to know him.
And even if you understand his language, it's not even like.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
The interviewing him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Maybe uh, now I think about it, Maybe Barry Bond
should have like spoken Japanese and that way, you know,
people wouldn't have hated him so much.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
No, because he's black.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
So if he would have been speaking to ya, if
he would have been speaking Japanese, kens everything, and they
would have been hating on that. You think you're better
than us now you speak a different language than like
you're black, dude, what are you speaking?

Speaker 4 (36:09):
What are you what are.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
You speaking Mandarin for? That's a good point, you know,
like Where does this come from?

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Then?

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Supposed to be black from you? You better start speaking
broken English. Sir, Hey, I'm straight. You get back to
being black right now. You understand me. I am sick
and tired. You have this foreign language you're speaking to me.
You better use some slang player.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Something, Get back on the steroids and get back to
being black immediately.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
You're out of here. Buster.

Speaker 1 (36:50):

Speaker 11 (37:12):
By hey, put a put a plate of soul food
in front of him.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
See how he reacts. Look at him. He loves it?
Ye did he say that was good? When he ate
that rib?

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Dear god, he'd he said, what are you be having?
And before I could say anything, he said the chicken?
And you know what he was right?

Speaker 1 (38:47):

Speaker 3 (38:51):
What up, Burchbert, Jonas LaVar, Good morning, guys, well Weiberch,
I guess you know what that is? Bro Hi Bert.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Herbert Street.

Speaker 11 (39:02):
There you go, you're the one you make baptimes.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Yeah, there you go something like that. Go ahead, Gobert,
thank you all right? Mar Uh.

Speaker 9 (39:18):
Let's talk about Sanders, So, of course should Sanders was
unavailable for the Browns game this past weekend. Kevin Stefanski
was asked about that by Mary Kay Cabot on Monday morning,
and if we can see maybe should try to get

(39:38):
into a game sometime soon.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Here's that exchange.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
I mean, if he had said to you, guys, hey,
I want to play, I can play, I mean, would
that have factored into this at all or what was
the thinking behind that.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
And how that go?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Yeah, he obviously came in Saturday with his back injury.
We were hopeful that he'd be able to move around
well enough to suit up on Saturday or excuse me,
on Sunday, but put him through a pregame warm up
and obviously just didn't feel like he was ready to play.
He's getting better every day and I'm hopeful that he'll

(40:11):
continue to improve.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
A super quick follow up on that, why wouldn't you
just to see if it does anything to the offense,
give him an opportunity to go in there and play.

Speaker 6 (40:21):
Obviously, my focus is where we are right now, Mary Kay, that's.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Not my focus. I'll give Mary Kay credit.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
She's really playing the hits like it sounds like AI
man Like nobody likes the sad or discussion more than
I don't know that there's anybody that asks more questions
about a backup quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Than her, Like it's like it's I mean, but it's
relevant though, it's so relevant, Like talk about playing the hits.
That's the first thing people were talking about coming out
of that game this past weekend is where Shador Sanders.
Why doesn't he get the opportunity? We've seen enough of

(40:59):
Dylan Gay. I just think that the stage is being
set either for him to be a rock star of
massive proportion or what or one person, a head coach,

(41:20):
an offensive coordinator, an entire organization, entire city, an entire
state is going to get blamed for whych the door.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Sanders didn't do well.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Kevin Stevanski seems like a really good dude. I would
love to have just an off air, honest conversation with
him and be like Hey, man, what's it like coaching
that circus tent?

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Like, Like, what's it like there?

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Because he seems like he just keeps his patience and
just kind of deals with it.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Meanwhile, Miles Garrett, you know.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Is melting down from the game. He's balling out and
they can't win a game balling out. I just think
that it's dangerous the situation that they're in, which the
door Sanders, it's dangerous man, because you it's a no
win situation.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
As soon as he plays, it's bad, gonna be bad.
