a YouTube page, So stay tuned. I'm not saying I
love grime and dirt and everything, but you've become a
(02:52):
wipe down guy.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Who do you think she has a microphone with you
pig pen every day. It's all the covid habit, you know.
And there's studies that will show you that radio studios
are the most vile and grimy, like Rick Rhymes workplaces
in all the land, because there's just germs being spit
and spat every Now you hear I got spot our
(03:15):
video guy just grabbed a little of hand sanitizer. With guys,
it's not twenty twenty anymore. Germs are Okay, that's not true.
COVID's back again. I mean not in the same way.
I doesn't think I want to like get sick, because
I mean, who knows.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Where Rob Parker's at?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Who knows what that guy's doing?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Did I do?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's the king? What fun?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You just sent an article to us the other day,
you were Cavino did where there was something they deemed
dirtier than a toilets et.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh Cavino sent that? Well?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Was it something they said is dirtier than I remember
what it is? Like, Oh, you're upper lip, the tip
of the tip of Rich's nose. You know, I forget
what it was. It was a gym equipment. It was
dumbbells at the gym.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Oh yeah, Because you accused me of not always wiping
down my equipment, I'm like, do you really need to
wipe down everything you touch?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes? I I sort of wanted to implement.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Everything, Like if you touch a weight, you're a If
you're sweaty on it, yes, sweaty headed, sweaty back, and
you're leaving a sweat mark.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You gotta wipe that down. That you know. There's too
many times that you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's kind of like, you know how we stopped, Oh,
I shouldn't say this, You know how, not everybody washes
their hands, and then we started because of COVID, we
started sing Happy Birthday. Not everyone wipes their gym equipment down.
And I'm not saying you have to, but if you're
all sweaty, you should agree to, and if not even
for the next person, for yourself because the previous person
(04:42):
probably I agree with that if you are, if you're
sweating where your t shirt is wet and you're leaving
an imprint on the leather bench, you wipe it down.
But I'm saying if you just grab a you know,
a twenty pound dumbbell and then put it right back down,
really need to go wipe it down. Maybe you wipe
it ahead of time, like do you ever wipe wash
(05:04):
your hands before you grab the junk and go to
the bathroom. Sometimes you do that right just because maybe
you do it before you left, because the guy before
could have been a dirt merch. I embraced the Germs.
Then I think about like, it's like the old meme says,
I don't think I could say it here on FSR.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I forget it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well, Rich brought this up because I do wipe Allie,
I wipe down the entire console. But it all started
from old covid hed. All I'm saying, Sam is that
people don't want to share a drink with people. And
it's like, I know what you've done with like Randos.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
So like I bring the hand sanitizer to our events
because you guys are doing meat and greets. And then
Rich picks up fries with his dirty hands. I'm like, no,
I mean you're gonna get sick, you know what.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I embrace it. I like, uh, Richie puts his hands. Yeah,
come on, I like the Germans bring them all.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Hey, let's talk Blake Snell. Is this guy ballsy? Is
he defiant?
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Is he a leader? Is he all these things?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And if you don't know what we're talking about last night,
the Dodgers who are playoff bounds, I think that, yeah,
they're not the one hundred hundred and ten wins people
thought they were.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
But when you got a lineup.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Consisting of guys like fred Duardo Freeman and Otani and
Mookie Betts and Ti Oscar.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And now Snell is healthy.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, and now you got some pitching getting healthy again.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
He's healthy, but he still looks like he is lacking sleep.
He looks very tired.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know who looks more tired. I just him
or Dave Roberts. They both have luggage under their eyes. Yeah,
they gounna win ninety something games and all said and done.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Who was the kicker prater that looked like he hadn't
slept in three weeks?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yeah he was. He was like, it look like you
didn't stop kicking, like you got to sleep.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Heal.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm sorry Blake Snell last night. If you don't know,
Dave Roberts comes out to the mound in the seventh inning,
and we know Dave Roberts, the guys won World Series.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
As a manager and as a player. The guy's a winner.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I mean, the guy that turned around the whole series
for the Red Sox with that stolee and base. Yeah,
it looks like a different guy, but same guy, same guy.
And Dodger fans being out here in LA for a decade. Now,
my goodness, he gets criticized, yet he's a winner. So
it just proves that no matter who your manager is,
the fans locally will be like.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh, this guy stinks.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
It's because he's so conservative though rich. When he has
a pitcher who's about to throw a no hitter, he
always yanks him.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
What is it three times in the last few weeks
he pulled the picture throwing a no hitter and then
something went wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I liked him in that spot, I really did.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, there's been three no nos, no nose in the
past few reasons.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
Well, Yamamoto, he gave up the home run, remember, but
he still could have easily finished off the game. He
was within one out of a complete game, instead of
giving him the chance for a complete game. That's what
started all of this is when Roberts that gay, Yeah,
they did.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Then Tani gets pulled the other day and they end
up losing the game to the Philly So Dave Roberts
makes some question choices. Now, last night he goes to
take Blake Snell out in the seventh inning, and Blake
Snell and if I'm not mistaken, is it Vessia.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Who's coming in from the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
It was Vessia is already jogging to the mound like
doing a light jog.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
All right, I'm getting out there. Let's go. I'm gonna
clean up his mess. Blake Snell is pretty much like Yo,
Dave Roberts, scram.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Scramble, Lama ding don I'm finishing this. In fact, take
a listen to the recap of last night.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
They're gonna have ord fact, go out to talk to him.
Otto Kemp is duop just as emotions.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
As passion mute can tell him bad. He wants this
get three seven innings.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It's not wanna come out of this game.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Well, you know he knows what the visit is forts
to buy a little time for Vessi to get a
few more throws in. And usually this is followed by
Dave Roberts, cannot make it a.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Change the Bonnie language.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Oh, here he comes, and this is not going to
be a popular now site for this Dodger Stadium crowd.
Blake Snell's telling him stay back there, and I got it.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Wow, does this not have all the Tampa Bay Yeah, flashbacks,
the world's Harry's against.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The Dodgers, And he did not want to come out.
How about that? Yeah, in this situation, he can't.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
Bessie was already headed out there, get back there, Alex.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Play left field. It was overready pass left field.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
I thank everybody kind of reading the room right here,
Blake Snell knowing that his team needs this. Dave Roberts
looking his pitcher in the eye and saying, you got it.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And you know what, I looked at that as leader, ballsy.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
But also defiant. That's Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
That's your manager, and I you know, that's heart and
that's what you want yourself. I don't want to sound
like I'm talking about both sides of my mouth, because
I think sometimes ballsy in defiance is not a bad trait.
I think it's like a fighter who is mad when
they stopped the fight because he's like, no, man, I
could have came back.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Fine, I could have came back.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You want that fighting attitude, that fighter attitude, that killer instinct,
that like no, even if he's wrong, you still want
them to have that belief in themselves that they can
get through it. I mean, how many times has a
fighter who is getting his ass whooped and it was
almost getting to a dangerous level. Afterwards, he's like, yo,
I don't think they should have stopped the fight. It's like, no, man,
they they did the right thing. What's going on. Dave
(10:24):
Roberts is throwing in the town.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Do in the town, do in the town.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But you don't want to throw it, you know, too
early or too late either. So it's a it's a
tough situation. He's on a pitch count, he's in the
seventh inning. You gotta have this belief in your bullpen.
It's also a little like, hey, I want to get
through this. I don't necessarily trust the bullpen. I don't
know if I trust Dave Roberts. Danny G's opinion I
value because he's.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
A Dodgers fan day in and day out.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
But his whole, your whole thought process was since Dave
Roberts has dropped the ball and blew it so many times,
that's why Snow is doing it. I looked at it
like Snell was just showing heart in that moment.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
It might be some of that, but to me and
the fans, it's more like we've been watching what you've
been doing the past couple of weeks, Roberts. Not this
time investment, No, no, Gessia, go back to the pen
and not on my watch.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I'm gonna finish this damn game. I'm pitching a gem.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I looked at it like the ultimate belief of myself, like,
I know what I still got left. I want to
get through this and finish what I started at least
finish this inning. Was it a matter of him defying
Roberts because of his bad choices lately, or him just
believing in himself.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It could be a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Like you said, I think it's a good sign of leadership,
but it doesn't always work out the nice way it
worked out last night.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Like last night, Snell gets out of it.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So it's like, yeah, and the end of the seventh
as Snell, you know, you know, walks to the.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Dugout in glory.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
If he gives up a double there or a bomb,
then it looks like y'all, dude, manager, knew you were
done and you were defiant. Now this happened again. Of
course I'm gonna make a that's reference, because why would
I not towards you know, it was the World Series.
Do you remember Matt Harvey insisted on going out for
the ninth inning Metro winning metro winning against the Royals
(12:10):
twenty fifteen, ten years ago, and Matt Harvey insisted, I'm
going out for the ninth and guess what gave up
runs Mets loss of the.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Game, and that's the weakest. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
You know why this is a cool story because he
came through, which is right. The fact that he came
through like that makes him look like geez, he had
only given up two hits though. Of course I know
you're saying, yeah, so I mean, I'm riding with a
hot hand. I'm not letting another starter sit down too soon.
And that's the problem with analytics, right instead of trusting
your gut, seeing that your guys in the zone, he's
owning the batters. He's hot right now, like Hansel. That's
(12:45):
where animetics come in right now, and they're like, no, well,
you know, we should probably go to the penn in
this moment. And that's where things get sticky and don't
always work the way you want. Interestingly enough, I heard
you gotta trust your gut. In this case, Snell trusted
his and it worked out. I'm trusting my gut. I'm
getting cheeseburgers tonight. It's a national cheeseburger day. Yeah, but
when it comes to trusting your gut. I heard a
(13:06):
great quote by Gary Cohen on s n Y yesterday.
We talk a lot about analytics, and in a macro
sense they work, meaning over one hundred and sixty two games,
analytics will probably win out right, But once you get
to a playoff run and a three or five or
(13:26):
seven game series, analytics goes out the door, because it's
almost like that's the micro. The macro is one hundred
and sixty two games. When when you say micro, that's
a dirty job. Jobs, I beat you to it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Are you talking about micro? It's good to have you back, Sammy.
That was so dumb.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I love it, hey, But I will say there there
is a difference.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Play the rim shot on yourself.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So there is a difference between micro did you your
train of thought?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
No? And macro?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
And I think over one hundred and sixty two games,
of course the analytics will work like swing away. But yesterday,
like I saw the Padres when they they had beat
the Mets last night, Mets one. This morning, the Padres
Arise had bunted over a runner and then Machado hit
a home run. It's like well, bunting. Analytics will tell
you bunting is never good. And this is why analytics
(14:25):
isn't always be good choice because you know Dave Roberts
would have took him out in that moment. Who knows
what could have happened. We know what happened in this situation.
Blake Snow was right, trusted his God, trusted his heart,
and knew what he had left was confident. Sometimes you
can be overcovered, like you mentioned Matt Harvey, but it
worked out.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Now, you Dodgers set up guys and two closers have
all been falling on their face.
Speaker 7 (14:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
You brought it up that you have to tie your
Mets into this conversation. Well, then I got to tie
my Yankees into this conversation. Because these are memorable moments,
These are lasting moments. I think these are ballsy moments
that we need to embrace and look for as every
game continues to matter. I think back to I'm sure
(15:07):
there's plenty of other moments, but recent history. Twenty twenty one,
Garrett Cole made his first appearance against his former team,
the Astros, and Aaron Boone Boonie comes out to take
him out in the ninth inning, and he was very
vocal to Aaron Boone about you leave me in the game.
(15:27):
This is a jumboy doing e liip reading and it's
actually pretty funny because he's right.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
Boone comes out and Garrett Cole starts screaming and yelling,
and he turns to him and he says, I'm finishing
this game right now.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Let's go.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Bone says, okay, we're just getting this one batter. Then
this is the most pitches a starting pitcher has thrown,
or a pitcher any pitcher has thrown all season.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Dude, he gives him back, the ball stays in the game.
He throws three straight heaters close out the ninth, and
Garrett Cole was right, and it was an awesome moment
because it shows the heart, the confidence, the determination that
you have, and that's what you want in an ACE,
especially but especially heading into the playoffs. But you do
(16:14):
need to make the snell look like like a toss
and here confident picture. You do need to use your
head though, because again I don't want to make it
sound like I'm on both sides of this, because I
do love the ballsz nous and the leadership of a
guy that says no, I know myself and I could
get this guy. But much like a great fighter, no
great picture with heart is ever gonna want to come
(16:34):
out of the game. So you have to be honest
with yourself in those moments. And if you're a manager
or pitching coach, I'd imagine a Major League baseball you
know when your guy is being real with himself. It's
like Jason Priestley, you remember, give me the keys. Everyone
thinks they could drive. But Jason Priesley enough, yeah, give
me the keys. Everyone everyone thinks like, no, I'm good, No, no,
(16:55):
I give me a key, give me your keys. So
basically what Boonie's doing with Robert, they're just saying, give
you had enough. We recently Blake Snell knew otherwise, and
that's made all the difference. So again we asked the
Fox Sports Radio Nation. We know it's both, but is
it more defiant or more I'm the man, I'm in
the zone.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Let me know. I like your analogy.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Recently, my wife and I went out to one of
our friend's houses, one of the of some of the
parents from our kids baseball team. Kids are all playing,
adults are having some cocktails. My wife has not had
margaritas in quite a while, and I saw after I
give her five margarita crazy, Yeah, give her one margarita chilled.
(17:37):
So my wife is more of a pop and edible
chill type of woman. So when you don't drink margarita's
on the usual, she was like three margaretas deep and
I gave her the whole.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Like, baby, you might want to might want to slow down.
And she's like I'm fine, And.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I'm like, no, you're not Garrett Cole, No, you're not
Blake Snell. Give me the keys, you give me, No, babe,
you had enough. I'm like, you.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Pulled your own wife out of the game.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You know when you're you know, when you whispered to
the wife or girlfriend when you're like.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
You might you've had one too many.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Like that's you know, like you got to know the
same way you engauge your your wife or lady's your husband,
like drinking at a party, that's you need to know
if they're being truthful. And I felt like last night,
in that moment, Blake Snell knew Listen, I'm a cy
young Award winner. I know that I got guests in
the tank for one more batter Dave Roberts respectfully beat it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Don't pull them at Harvey. Yeah, that's when it works
against you.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
So that being said, we also want to congratulate a
legend for your Dodgers, Danny G. Clayton Kershaw another ace
with Hwave wolsen Hart, what a career who announced his
retirement at the end of this season. Well didn't he
have didn't he have to retargecause they made him like
the commemorative All Star this year, like he couldn't come
back next year?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Right, didn't Miggy do that?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
One year on the Tigers someone did like their Fareweale
tour and then sort of like had one more year.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Who was Hell, that's a good one. I feel like
someone sort of did that.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, Rivera was supposed to retire and he got hurt
and then he came back and he came back. But
what you're saying sounds familiar to Clayton Kershaw the man. Now,
Danny G. How does he play a role? As we
are two weeks away from the Major League Baseball postseason.
We got nine games left in the regular season, So
in a couple of weeks is clay Shaw bullpen starting?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Did I say Clay Shaw. Yeah, that pet name from
how you shortened it slightly.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Yeah, that's my If Snell is healthy, rich, then I
feel like Kershaw is the X factor in those bullpen
games we were talking about on the show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Is every team I'm trying to not being all over
the place, but is every team in the playoffs gonna
start doing bullpen games? Because the Mets did one the
other day and they had Clay Holmes for a couple
of innings, Mania for a couple of innings, and I'm thinking, like,
this might be every team other thing your ace, Well,
you're also trying to see matchups too, right, Yeah, you're
trying and trying to see what they got and work
(20:06):
out their problematic areas and work work through some you know,
tough spots.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
You're just trying to see what they got left and
get them going. So it's that.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Time of year.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's that time. Blake Sneill was the man yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
It could have went the opposite way and we would
have been all excited about it, but it worked out
for Danny G's Dodgers. He came through, and again your
thoughts on that. Congratulations to Clayton Kershaw. Clayshaw clay Shaw,
my dude, and we got to talk some NFL and
old school when fifty hits, I've got lots of Cavino
and rich I want you to start thinking. We're gonna
(20:40):
play a little fill in the blank and it has
to do with Mike McDaniel dumming it. You want to
tease it nowadays? Want me to give you the fill
in the blank and everyone could give us their answers.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Now, yeah, that way we all have time to think
about it.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
All right.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
I want you to think of this. You two, Isaac
Alone Crown, put down your sandwich whatever you eating over there.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Those aren't pillows. It's because he said, Tarta palder over there.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, And geez, Mike McDaniel survives. If right, you're going
to Buffalo tonight. It's not going to be if they win,
because they're not winning winning in Buffalo. I mean, if
they do, then yeah, then you know what, that's right,
But that'd be a major surprise.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
What would it take for Mike McDaniel.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Maybe that's the better way to post the yes.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
What would it take for Mike McDaniel to survive another
week in Miami? So Mike Daniel, Mike McDaniel survives. I

To a great shirt.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And for the record, ray Leota, who plays Henry Hill

so that movie for us was like the holy Grail
of gang movies. If you never saw it, this weekend's
the weekend and do that same. When's the last time
you said good Fellas in full front to back. It's
been a while. I've seen chunks and chunks over the years.
We're a bunch of good fellas here on the CNR
(23:59):
jow Gram program.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
You're watching on the YouTube feed, which, by the way,
I encourage you to do.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Check it out. Watch the clips. There's Cavino sweet ash here.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
And speaking of sweet asses, anyway, Blake Snell, uh, we
were talking about anyway. We're done talking about Bake Snell.
We were talking about about cal Rally. We were talking
about Dave Roberts and Blake Snell last night. We're gonna
get back to that in a second, but just a reminder.

but to chat it up with other people listening and
just trying to get through today like you are. And
that's also where our bonus pot airs in an hour
(25:10):
and a half, So check it out, Covino and Rich
FSR on YouTube. All right, let's say how to Mike
in Minnesota. He had a thought about dog pictures. You
got that dog in you Blake Snell style.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
What's up, Mike? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (25:23):
Yeah, so being a Minnesota boy, Jack Morris, Saint Paul
Natives where I'm from, ninety one World Series ten innings
shut out Game seven World Series.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Dude, that's what I easily think I was thinking of,
and I couldn't remember what it was.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That's the one.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Could we all agree that he does not get enough
credit for that game or credit for his mustache or
I mean, that's that's one of the all time great
performances that no one talks enough about.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
No, that's that's the one.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Like I was trying to think, I'm like, I'm thinking
of the Garrett cole One because that's recent history, and
that's why I said that.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'm like, there's another one. That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
That was it, man, Thank you so much much, And
you got to respect that. You know, these guys want
the ball. You don't want any wimpy sort of body
language or a guy who just doesn't trust this stuff.
Blake Snell was trusting what he had last night and
it worked out to the Dodgers benefit. So that was
a really cool story. You want that in your starting
(26:19):
pitchers and your aces and just that competitive nature.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's just cool to see.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
So we move on to the NFL. Have you thought
about it? Are you ready to fill in the blank?
What will it take for Mike McDaniel to survive Game three,
Week three tonight, Thursday night Football in Buffalo against Josh
Allen and the Bills. They're two and zero, you're zeroing
to I mean this looks daunting. The point spreads almost
(26:47):
two tuddies twelve and a half is the Vegas odds
right now.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So my answer is simply.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Keep it within a one score game and you and
you buy yourself another week. Yeah, I think, you know,
a field goals wishful thinking if.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
I feel like that's what it's going to have to be, though, Cove,
you know, like buy a field goal where you have
a chance maybe to win the game on the last drive.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Man, because I think I think he saves his reputation
a little bit. I think if Buffalo covers, you might
be done with Mike McDaniel in Miami. If Buffalo wins
thirty eight seventeen, I think it's how about I think
it's over if.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Tyrie Hill is crying on the sideline.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Stomp at his feet and ah, if you see visibly
upset dolphins, oh no, that's a If you see visibly
upset dolphins snowflake, then it's over. I think if there's
body language of aggravation and they get stomped, I think
(27:54):
just there'd be no other choice but to be like, yeah,
we got to change directions.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Mike McDaniel, you're a good guy.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
But one score and one coherent sentence from Mike McDaniel,
howbout if he just delivered the press conference. How about
if he gets one sentence out that makes sense this week.
We got to give him a little credit because he
that's where he's looking his worst in the past few
weeks in the press conference. You know, when it comes
to the game, you can be like, man, this team
stinks and it's not all on the quitch that moment,
(28:21):
but Mike, it's been it's been really bad.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Which coach do you guys think of as like the
greatest motivational speaker. He'd have to come out like that
in and fire up his team.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, he better do a zoom. I better do a
zoom call with Pete Carroll in the next two hours
than if he, uh, he wants to get some lessons.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
You have to kick over a whiteboard in front of
the press.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I think of the Dan Campbell type, like that rah
rah football type of guide.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I mean, that's who comes to mind.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I think it was.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It was it our pal Tayler Bershadi of the NFL Network.
It was a Chaot Adams. It was definitely one of
those girls.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Someone questioned on social media, how many packs of gum
do you think Pete Carroll goes through a week? Have
you ever seen that guy not chewing gum. That's a
good point. Yeah, No, I don't know the answer to that.
Is he a bubblicious guy? What's the over unders? Here's
Pete Carroll in old school. He's an old guys. He's
a hobby? Is he eating black jack?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Flavor does not last long enough in those pieces?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
So is he? Is he s? Does he go through
Bazuka Joe?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Does he go through twenty five packs of fruit stripe
gum but loses its flavor immediately? They don't make fruit
stripe anymore? I know, so you he used to be
fruit striped, So now I wonder what is the Gum's
a big He's a big red guy.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Just see shinned up grab us thinking juicy fruit?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
The taste?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
I found that somebody has asked him. He choose bubble yum?
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Wow close, we were close. It's so random.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Bubble yem bubble yum. That's so weird. Imagine imagine just
being imagine being a new player on the Raiders. You
get called up from the practice squad and just try
to be in the good graces of Coach Carroll.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
You stop his officer throw some bubble yell on his death.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
It says here he can go through as many as
three packs on game days.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Well, what do you think they're rocking in the dugout?
Do you know double bubble has double bubble? They wear
a stupid bucket on their head. Yeah, Pete Alonzo, they
threw a bucket a bucket on his head the other day.
It's double bubble, but double bubble. Now, for the record,
that's the one with the crown. They they have different
flavors of double bubble. I don't know if that's always
been the case, but uh, the kids have it at
(30:26):
the games, and yeah, they have different flavors. Before you
start thinking about uh spearmint gum spearman.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
The question was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
What do the Dolphins have to do to save Mike
McDaniel's job tonight? How close does it have to be?
Do they have to you know, maybe maybe it's just
keep Buffalo scored low. Maybe they lose by over a touchdown,
but they still sort of because because if two in Tyreek,
then he'll be angry, and I think the only but
I do think it's how he handles depression.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
They lose.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
That's been a weird storyline.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
It's almost like he he kind of forgot how to
handle the press, or he's like sabotaging his own job
as a forty nine it's been noticeably bad as a
forty nine Ers guy. I always have a soft spot
for Mike McDaniel. I always thought he was a great coordinator,
and I feel like, as I said, he's a breath
of fresh air. He's just different from your typical football
guy that you're Bill Cower type of guy.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
You know, He's a different type of guy.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
And I always thought that maybe Mike McDaniel is the
type of guy that, when all said and done, remember
I like Wade Phillips, are certain people that are yeah
they're a decent head coach, but a better coordinator, like
a Jim Schwartz is a better coordinator. Maybe like this,
you guys that are better coordinators, and maybe, you know,
I think Mike McDaniel would easily find the job pretty
much right away as a coordinator next year.
Speaker 9 (31:43):
So if you want to do a perfect Mike McDaniel impression,
just imagine a very sleepy college student in their dorm.
The roommate comes in and opens the blinds at eleven am.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Oh Man class till four. What are you doing? I sleep?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
That's sort of the tone he said.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm so sleepy. I'm so sleepy.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
So I'll tell you this. So you want to make
the class, sometime you got to wake up on time.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
It's eleven. I can sleep too arms.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
I think the only way he survives a heartbreaking loss
like twenty seven to twenty five. Best way did not
fail the class is to pass the class. That's the
kind of stuff you're saying.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Close thees Man.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So, did do you root for Mike McDaniel? Yeah, of course, right,
I mean, like I think we all do.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I think we all like it.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
I was rooting for him last week, and had h
not stepped out of bounds, they would have won that game.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
And the question comes from a good place. We all
like him, and he was a great story still could be.
How do you keep the story going tonight against the
arguably the best team in.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
The league and the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You know, it really would be a cool shake up
for the NFL, just to show the parody, to show
the parody of the league.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Imagine somehow someway Miami.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
It would be cool, gets the better of Buffalo happening Buffalo.
I mean, I feel like if you're new to survivor
pool one of those type of things. I would imagine
ninety percent of the people, if they haven't already picked Buffalo,
are picking Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Over Miami this week. I'd imagine, right it's the biggest
points part of the week.
Speaker 5 (33:09):
So I feel like we'll see how much the team
loves their coach, because they'll really fight for him tonight
if they want him to stay in that spot.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
That's facts right there, Danny g all right, let's go
to our buddy, Isaac Lowencron.
Speaker 3 (33:20):

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Been to a pop up store or some type of
event based on a TV show or movie.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
I read pop up books. Does that count now it doesn't?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Like as fuck, we went to a Satan by the
Bell pop up when it was here in La Some
people love going to these things. I know they've done
it for a lot of shows throughout the years.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Central Perk.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
They've had pop ups in the past, the coffee shop
based off of Friends, but now it looks like they
have a permanent location in Times Square Central Perk.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
Yeah, they did open one in Boston, but this is
history in the making because it's going to be in
Times Square in New York City where the show was based.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Honestly, please explain this. I watch tea Mexican version on
Univision was called Am Eagles, So I have no idea
what you're talking about. I never watched Friends, and they
were not my friends. Are you joking enough? I saw
the last episode and that was enough.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
I remember everyone had and they were like, did you
get off the plane? Did you get off the plane?
And then Rachel was like, I got off the plane.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
They played the Reason by who Bastank? That was the
big song for the finale. Everybody had a party and
I got dragged to a party at an ext girlfriend's
family's house, and I remember watching it not knowing what's
going on. I never watched that cornball stuff, So tell me, like,
what is Central Person Cornball stuff?
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Biggest show?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
But you're presenting this, I'm I'm not downplaying the magnitude
of this show. You just called the biggest show of
the ninety If you think that guy listening, you're you're
assuming that every guy listening to this knows the reference.
I don't know it. I'm not saying it's not one
that it was popular. It was a coffee shop like that.
Speaker 9 (38:59):
And oh and Rachel wanted the mugs of like massive
mugs of coffee, Sis, pizza, Charles and charge.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
That's your reference since pizza.
Speaker 5 (39:07):
But we don't know Central Perk. I don't know Central
Perk and Covino. Jennifer Aniston worked there, and then Lisa
Kudro sang there, I.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Know picture smell. Here's a fun back.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
My my ex was an extra at Central Perk all
the time.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
When I met her, she was still doing like extra work.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
And I know of the show and I know a populartis,
but I don't know that reference. So I'm just saying,
if I don't know what you think, everybody knows it.
I mean not everyone, but not everyone. Anyway, Central Perk.
I think that everybody knows that.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
It's like Monk's Cafe from Seinfelders their hangout. No, no, no,
I get, but I don't know it. You should know that.
Come on, I mean, my girlfriends knew it.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I mean I wasn't a big Friends fan, but I
mean I watched it, but I mean she's all right.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Well, anyway, Central Perk.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Guys, if you if you've never seen the show Friends,
it was big in the in the nineties, Member a million,
it was you. That's not my point. But if you
think I was watching that in the nineties, you're having
your mind hold on Comino. This might come as a
shock to you. In Boston, there is a bar called Cheers,
I know where everyone knows your name.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
That's a good one.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
So I guess the question is what, yeah, is the
fictional place based on this, because Central Perk is now
a real.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Place, could be a movie or a TV show.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Movie TV show that you would like to visit. I
have a number one answer, and I think we'll all
agree on that. All right, So save your number one
answer and let's get the feedback role on the most
interactive show here on FSR. So the coolest fictional location
that you would like to visit, or maybe you went
to this pop up establishment and it was awesome, We.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Want to talk about it. We want to chop it
up on the show.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
The answer is not the max On saved by the bell,
right the Max with your with your magician waiter, No
I do that? Okay, about the beach pit, that's good,
that's our second nine O two and oh reference stuff.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
