I don't know if you saw Laura who just tweeted
in he said specifically to Manzi Bolangnia. She said, sa,
Manzi Blani is Merry Christmas to you and your staff.
I wish you true happiness Christmas. Thank you from Laura
Junior former Sports Radio ninety three. Wei is that right, producer?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
AI is a monster station in Boston, so I'm wondering
if that's where he is. But when I started to
know six Fox Sports Radio was on overnights, I met
Ben Maller a few times when he came up here.
And then there's one sentence that definitely is designed for
you and not me, so uh well, we'll skip that one.
But that's from Laura.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Laura, thank you for tweeting at us.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yes, he had a lot of nice things to say
about you exactly, so we will move on. No, I
think that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Bill Belichick thinks Bill, what do you think he's doing?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Though?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
What do you think Jordan Hudson gave Bill Belichick?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Since we're gonna give gim what do we think he gave?
She gave?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
She gave him a pre selected by her ugly sweater
and just they just took so many pictures in front
of the tree and he really quick. I don't mean
to go on a side tangent, but this is a
good cavino on the chop. It is what actually like,
what actually is their relationship. And I'm not trying to
be like funny and we don't have to get into
(02:43):
like the weird you know, after dark stuff, but like,
I just does he enjoy it?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is he bored?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Because my whole thing is like if you were just
bored when you were retired, okay, or when you were
out of football, but you have a job now, if
you're not happy, I don't know, it's just it's I
don't know, I don't do you do you know where
I'm going on?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I do know.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
It's just it's just you look at them and you're like,
what what is it here? I just think, you know,
he's got a good looking girl that showed interest and
he said, all right, how can I make this all
work for me? How can I keep this pretty lady
next to me? Granted she may be a little cuckoo,
but who isn't, right, who isn't There's just a level
(03:26):
of cuckoo that you're willing to deal with.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And just got a high cuckoo threshold.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
You know, he's been through a lot. He's been through
a lot. So for him, he's like, I can deal
with this. I can deal with this craziness. Every guy can.
Everyone can deal with craziness to their own extent. But
I think like he's just is like this girl's pretty.
She tells, she's telling me she likes me.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and do it all sure,
you know, And then for her, I don't know, welly.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We can come up, we can come up. But you know,
millions of reasons why she would be interested in him.
I am curious if he does get down on the
knee and proposed, because that that does change the calculus
on the on the math of the relationship. What was
I gonna say, I was gonna say one more thing
about them? Oh, you know what, I will say this
and maybe this is a good way to segue into
(04:13):
our Christmas gifts for your favorite sports teams and fans.
There's nothing worse than being a fan when you know
you're head coach or certainly superstar isn't fully committed to
the job. Like I think Bill Belichick took the North
Carolina job because he loves coaching football, right, But I
(04:34):
think he also just wants something to do, Like I
don't think, yeah, like the fire in the Belly two
thousand and one, Bill Belichick, Patriots guy, is the guy
coaching Carolina, and so basically he's just bilking you for
ten million dollars a year for a job that he's like,
I would say, on a scale of one to ten,
he's probably like a six out of ten in his
interest in it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, I agree.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I don't think he was ready to fully say goodbye
to it was like he he was asked to step away.
And I understood why the Patriots wanted to do that.
You kind of want a change of everything, right like
the era right like this era is over and I
understand that, But I don't think he was ready to
let go of the game completely. And I wonder if
(05:16):
it was more like if he got we wondered how
NFL teams weren't trying to talk to him right like
that there was no serious team that seemed to be
interested in Bill Belichick. But I do wonder if a
team was interested in him as like some sort of assistant,
or like if he would have taken it, or if
it was just like, no, I want to be a
head coach.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, wasn't there a report that the forty nine ers
at least loosely reached out to him to be the
defensive coordinator?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Did you believe that?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Though?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Like, no, I don't know if I believe that. One.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't believe that Kyle Shanahan called him and was
offered him the defensive coordinator job. The way all this
stuff works and we know it is that basically everybody's
friends with everybody. And I'm sure like Kyle Shanahan was
hypothetically on the phone with like Josh McDaniels just cutting
it up, just talking ball. One day, I was like,
(06:05):
you think Bill would ever just be a defensive coordinator?
And then like that's the thing that drives me crazy
about these reports where people are just like, well, a
source set It's like a source could be anybody like.
It doesn't mean that that's the story. It just means
that's one version of it. And so what I think
probably happened is Shanahan was probably on the phone with
somebody who's close to Belichick, like you think he would
(06:26):
ever do it? And the answer was no. And then
whoever he was on the phone with was like on
the phone with some reporter a week later, Oh yeah,
we won't believe what Shanahan was asking me if Belichick
would be like the defense, And then it became a
source says that Kyle, you know, so that's exactly what happened.
Should we hand out some Christmas gives? All right, so Sam,
(06:47):
give us a little music. We will reset this segment.
We did it in the last couple hours. But it
is Christmas Day and we don't want to work too hard.
We don't want to diagnose Bill Belichick's personal life too hard. Here,
soa shout out to t Trap who says, I'm listening
to you from Washington State.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Thank you Christmas.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So Coach Belichick, what we're doing now, we're picking your
favorite teams, your favorite players, and you're handing We're handing
out Christmas gifts to them. So earlier in the show,
Lee de Lap offered up not one, but two acls
to his favorite Green Bay Packers, Michael Parsons, Tucker Craft.
Moncey offered a tutorial on how to avoid concussions to
(07:31):
Jackson Darts. Chris Perfectius wants like a real player on
the US soccer team, understandably so, and I just wanted
to give the cowardly lion Adam Silver a little bit
of a heart so that he can take advantage of
what is a fun young group of NBA stars. So
we want you to tweet in with what your gifts
are for your favorite players and teams. But we're gonna
(07:52):
do it again. You're gonna start again with Monty Blonias.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I've got a few. I've got a few, So let
me give you two quick ones. Two quick ones.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We can circle back to we can I got, I
got I could.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Give to everybody. I have a gift for Pook and
a coua.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have a gif I would like to gift pookin
a coua the Men in Black flash pen. Sure, so
we can forget everything he did off the field this
past week.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Sure, this big week for his brother too, who stole
a car.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So the whole thing, like, let's just forget because we're
not and he had a great.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Game, but then he went and tweeted after and so
everything just so we forget everything off the field for
the sake of his, you know, career, and like his
everything that's going on this year with the Rams, and
they're doing so well, so it doesn't take away from
the big.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Story that is Matthew Stafford and the Rams and what
they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Sean mcmah in the whole thing, let's let's give him
a man in black flash pen.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let me ask you, Aquock question. You obviously do this
for a living. You talk all day, every day, all
day every day. Do you ever go home and your
boyfriend or your mom or your whoever just starts talking
about random stuff and you're just like, I just talked
for four hours all the time. Yeah, so I do
that a lot to but I bring it up because
that's what we need.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Just just please just just stop.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Don't open your mouth. Yeah, you can play video games
without streaming it to half the world, right just and
you can.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Complain about the zebras in the record. Just just do
it in the locker room with your homies, not on
social not on social media. It never works for you,
even though people agree, like it's you're not wrong, just
it's just you don't need to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All rightsh do you said? Do you want to do too?
Really quick?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
This is real quick. This is I'm gonna give Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh goodness, okay, just real quick.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm just gonna give him a chia pet.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Okay, so that you know, if he really wanted to
grow some trees, We'll start little.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We'll start with the chia pet.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh, grow some trees, I get it, Just start a little. Well,
here's the thing. He can grow trees for fifty million
dollars and not have to do anything. He'd have to
actually water.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But we're gonna start little, Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So maybe through the responsibility of owning a chia pet,
he can actually he would then actually fulfill the contract
obligation exactly. By the way, completely unrelated. I try not
to criticize other media members, but I was off social
media all day yesterday because it was Christmas Eve. Pablo
Torri was just going after people at like eleven thirty
(10:16):
on Christmas Eve. I'm like, dude, yet that you're reporting
is controversial.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But like, no, it must be a nice you have
nothing else to do?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, can you? Can you take a day off?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, we're not solving the world investigating Jordan Hudson Iowa, Sam,
go ahead, What's what do you got? My men? This
is a gift for the Iowa football team.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They open up this human sized box and it's a
brand new LeVar Woods. LaVar Woods was Iowa's special teams
coordinator for a long time. He's been on the staff
a while, but he was he one of the best
of the country. He was hired away by Pat Fitzgerald
at Michigan State. Oh, Michigan State has so much money
now from like this athletic trust, they can just go
out and poach you whoever they want. So LeVar Woods
(10:57):
was an elite special teams coordinator and we to LeVar
Woods two point zero, which I don't think is possible.
But please, please, Santa Iowa needs a new LeVar Woods.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
All right.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I like it me too. That's a good gift.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What do we got? What do we got? Lee?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, I know I didn't give those Yeah. Done with
the ACLS. I only had two, so I gifted those
both to the Packers. How about to a team that
was on the AFC bracket of my pick them chart
here in the studio, I had the Packers in the NFC,
I had the Ravens in the AFC. And I know
he wants video games because that's what he likes to
(11:33):
do at night. But I think Lamar Jackson needs an agent.
So LaVar Jackson an agent, somebody to keep him in
line and just you know, put to bed.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Put to bed. All the crazy rumors that are out
there swirling, all the drama that's not needed.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
We're settling things, And can I can I give a
bonus gift?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Please?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Please?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know everyone loves a good personalized accessory.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There's not enough personalized straws going around, and I think
you know who needs a good personal eyed silly straw.
Jake Paula. The next few weeks, so he ninety two
million dollars for that broken jaw. Yeah, I'll give him
a nice one. Yeah, we'll get a nice straw.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, idiot.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Unbelievable. I did not even know that fight was going on,
that people were so into it. I'm like, he's going.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In there's no way right, It's like, y'all who's tuning
into this?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
But everyone talked about the Tyson fight with him, but
it's like, okay, but Tyson's fifty some Anthony Joshua gets
a bad rap because he lost to like Andy Ruiz,
who's butter being two point zero, But that doesn't make
him a fighter.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Looking for a dive here right.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Right, No, it's crazy great gifts though those were great.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It's a good stocking stuffer, really thoughtful too, all right,
Chris Purfet to top of silly straw for Jake Paul.
Speaker 8 (12:46):
Well, I'm going to do something very special for one
of the more interesting people to cover this year, Lane Kiffin.
Come on, Oh, this is Lane Kiffen's contract LSU right now,
I want to give Lane Kiffin a do over.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Wow, what's what's that?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You just tore that paper in half? I think your
Sesame Street read was on there. No no, no, no, I'm
make sure it was not a Sesame Street read. No no, no, no,
I'm not gonna screw that one.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look. I think two things here.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Number one, I think it's a great Lane would love
this gift because he loves chaos, and he would love
to just have everyone wrapped around his finger again a
second time going through it, especially now that we know
the Michigan job is open and that could easily be
you know, And and that's part of why I'm doing
this too, because I just have a sinking feeling the
LSU job is not gonna work out for him. LSU
(13:35):
has a ton of resources, they bring in great recruits
and everything, but the palace politics of that place have
have made it so volatile that I look at that,
I thought for sure he would take the Florida job
because that seemed more stable, that you'd get a little
bit more time there, because we're in the really sickly
sweet honeymoon phase right now where they're promising him all
(13:56):
the ole miss bonuses that he was supposed to get.
But we know but he did. They did the same
thing with Brian Kelly, and they did the same thing
with LSU. You charm him in real nice and sweet,
but if you don't get that success after about two years,
the knives start coming out. This this search for Lane
Kiffin involved the governor of Louisiana, who is now an
envoy to Greenland. So like this is this is it
(14:18):
has been described as Cajun how these things are handled
down there, and uh.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Good luck, good luck.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I hope you, Lane, you come out of the gate swinging,
because uh, otherwise this is gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So I will say this on the Lane Kiffin, what
you said about him not being like liv I'm getting
the same vibe. So I've told this story a million times.
I remember listening to Lebron James's opening press conference when
he got to the Lakers, and one of the first questions,
maybe the first question, was what would what would it
mean to your legacy to win a title as a Laker?
(14:50):
M M and Lebron was like, my leg my legacy,
and he didn't understand, like, it's cool that you want
to chaeampionship in Cleveland for your home fans and you
want a bunch of Miami. No one in La cares
what you did in Cleveland. Your Lakers legacy will one
hundred percent be defined by if you win championships plural
(15:13):
here or not. And as we get towards the end
of the Lebron James era, it's clear that he has
not lived up to those expectations, and I feel the
same with Lane Kiffin. Is I just feel like he's
showing up. Well, look at what I did at all,
Miss lsu fans don't care about what you did. It'll
miss are you gonna win us a Natty or two
or not? And if you're not winning a Natty? To
(15:34):
Chris Purfett's point, you know they're gotta get ready as soon.
You're gonna say something real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Before before you move on the compare. I hear the
comparison that you made a bit with Lebron because I
agree with you. The legacy with Lebron and the Lakers.
It's not turning out to be.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
What he thought on.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
But Lane Kiffin wishes he was Lebron James, Oh yeah,
you know what I'm saying, like you wish you were,
because I just like Chris Prophett is giving him essentially
a second chance.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'd be like, no, you get call, and that is it.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's the problem. He doesn't have the self awareness to
take advantage of the second chance. Because we were so
Me and j mart were on airon you and Martin
Weiss were on air as well during the standoff with
the ads.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's so ridiculous where it was just.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So obvious that he was because remember going into that day,
he was trying to kick, well, what if we play
in the SEC championship game, And it was so obvious
that he was in the president's house, the school president,
not you know, in the White House, throwing a fit
because they wouldn't let him coach in the playoff. And
I'm like, get over it, get over it. So I'll
tell you what My gift is, similar but not identical
(16:35):
to Chris's. Okay, I want to give all college football
fans a ventilator. Oh to take a deep freaking breath,
because not everything in college football is an existential crisis. Okay,
college football is the only sport we're every year there
(16:58):
is an existential crisis that it has to be addressed
this second, or the whole sport is falling apart. This
year it is, oh my god, through weird happen stance,
we got two group of five teams in the college
football Playoff and neither of them was that competitive. Okay,
it's not that big of a deal. And there are
(17:19):
one hundred and thirty four teams in the sport and
I'm sorry, there's like eighty group of five teams. We
can't give them one spot in a twelve team playoff
and oh, by the way, who got left out? Texas
lost to and off of Florida team Vandy didn't beat
anybody of consequence. Notre Dame certainly didn't beat anybody of consequence.
(17:43):
So college football fans, I want to help you take
a deep breath. Here is a ventilator. Chill out. Your
sport is awesome. Stop every single year feeling like you
need to tinker and tweak and change, because at some
point it's just not gonna be a sport that any
of us like or love some exactly. R E l A.
(18:07):
Thank you Aaron Rodgers really quick. I'm looking at you.
Put your head in that stocking monte. I know you
have a few stocking stuffers to give out, so go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I would like to give Derrick Henry some sticky gloves. Okay,
so maybe he stops fumbling the ball. Oh, because he
definitely didn't do that in his career until now.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So maybe we can give him some sticky gloves.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yes, that'd be nice.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Can we can we give the Kansas City Chiefs a
new PR group because the way that they are hated
it is unhealthy.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The weird, the move to Kansas was so weird this week?
Was that reported? Like?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Was that it was?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No? No, like, but did anyone know that was coming
to me? It came out of nowhere, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, it did come out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
By the way, I will say as someone who has
driven from Kansas City to Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas City is
right on the Kansas border. They obviously just got all
sorts of crazy tax breaks and that's why they're building
it in Kansas. But for like the average Kansas City fan,
it makes zero impact on anything, but it does still
kind of suck for their headquarters are in the state
of Kansas.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, they said it wasn't until like twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, the least I don't think ends still twenty thirty.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
So yeah, it is kind of and out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Like you said, any last second.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Stocking, Yeah, no, if we have time, maybe we'll do more.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
But no, let's let's we got we got a game
to play.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
All right. We do have a game to play before
we get to that, before we get to that lovely

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Very easy. You know what else is also easy? Working
with Dan Bier, It really is. Dan Bayer is out today,
but it is officially time to play a game.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
He's his co host. Sometimes think it's kind of work
outing she's his Sometimes they don't do this, But the
real question is who knows fire best?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Let's find out, all right, So that is an intro
to America's new favorite game, who Knows Buyer Best. So,
Dan Byer, I don't think it's hyperbole to call him
a Fox Sports Radio icon.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Pay.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I think he probably has the highest thank you. See,
I was gonna say he's got the highest approval rating
of anyone I've ever met. But part of it is
because he's always telling me great job, even when he's
not here. And so Mansei has come up with a
little bit of a game called who Knows Dan Byer Best.
Producer Lee has been scouring Dan Bayer's high school yearbook,
(23:42):
his social media pages for the deepest and darkest but
not secrets is a bad word, but now fun facts
is the way we'll put it about Dan Bayer. Lee
is gonna pepper us with questions we're gonna answer, and
we're gonna find out once and for all who knows
Dan Byer Best. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I thought I knew Dan pretty well, but I've learned
more about Dan than I take care too throughout my research.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So let's start hot. That is hot, Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
What is Dan's favorite sports tradition is it first day
of March Madness, the super Bowl or the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You want to go?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
You can? You want to go?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, go for it, I will say very quickly. First
of all, his real favorite sports tradition is making cinnamon
buns on the first day of the British Open.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yes, that's actually I was waiting for a golf her.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yes, Dan Byer is very vocal about he picks one
day every year during the British Open. Remember it obviously
starts early, or they call it the Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, and he makes cinnamon buns. He does, And so
I will say very quickly March madness. But I actually
think we should both get a point for that one,
because that is actually the correct answer. But say March Madness, kitch.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, I was waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
To say golf because I was I was like, that's
the answer. Options are March Madness, the NFL Draft, what
super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I think it's March Madness, golf.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, well, the correct answer does go to you both
said March Madness.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I didn't need to get two points.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We should And.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I only assume because I have some help putting this together.
Is that one of these he must loathe, like, is
it the NFL Draft or the super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He like covers a lot of super Bowls, so I
imagine it's not like a it's a work thing that
he doesn't get that to just sit back and.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yes, yeah, all right, Next one up. What Michigan man
annoys Dan the most? Chris Webber, Tom Brady or Desmond Howard?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Oh Man, I actually have no idea on this one,
but I am going to take a guess.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And say it's Chris Webber.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
All right, Well, I will say this.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Dan Byer and I were on air speaking of March
madness during the bracket selection show when Tom Brady came
out of retirement and he was not happy. But I
actually think the answer is Desmond Howard, just because Desmond
Howard's kinda not really likable, especially if you're not a
Michigan fan. I will go Desmond Howard final.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Answer, and the correct answer does go to mister Aaron Torres.
There's a long list, he says, and they all annoy
him to some degree, but he still cringes and looks
away every time Desmond Howard does the Heisman pose in
the end zone. Plus his college football takes are atrocious, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
That's good. I really had no idea on that one.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That was good. Desmond Howard has become kind of a
little bit of a lightning rod. Dan's in Ohio state
fan too. So all right, Lee, what's next? This is fun?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm all right, which tournament would Dan choose to golf in?
If given the choice? Would it be the Masters, the
US Open, or the Open Championship.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm gonna go first, And based on what I said,
he makes cinnamon buns every year on I don't actually
think it's the first day. I think it's one of
the days he picks a different day. I will say
the Open Championship. It's kind of the weather's cold, you know,
it's the elements. Just Dan Buyer strikes me as a
royal truon kind of guy. So I'm gonna go the
(27:21):
Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know, I am actually gonna go with the Masters.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Any reason specifically or just.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I just feel like I've had this conversation with him,
maybe like for some reason, there's like a memory I'm
trying to unlock sure, and that's why I want to
say the Masters, but you're you're on with the Cinnamons.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I know the semon rules, but why do I want
to say the Masters?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
A green jacket would bring out his eyes? Yes, probably
because that is the correct answer.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
There's a merry in there I'm trying to unlock.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Who wouldn't write old fan would probably put that at
the top. So it's tied here it is.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
We both got the first one, right, then Aaron got
the second question, and then monts you got the third question.
So yes, next one up. Dan's favorite throwback uniform of
the NFL. Is it the Royal Blue retro Seahawks or
the Buccaneers creamsicle?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh my god?
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Can I go because right away when you said that,
I thought Buccaneers creamsicle.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So I'm gonna go with that one.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So right away when you said that, I thought the
Royal Blue Seahawks. But I feel like I have seen
him tweet on more than one occasion about the creamsicle,
So I'm going creamsicle. Final answer, And that would be
as we didn't even try to work on that one together. No,
we're supposed to be competing. We are everyone to Chris, Yes,
(28:54):
I'll tied up three three, all.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Right, A little dive into that, uh in that yearbook
of Dance here that I did so much research on.
What is Dan's most infamous sports moment? Is it playing
on a high school football team that went oh to
nine one season? Is it somehow accumulating seven fouls and
a technical and an eighth grade basketball game? Or is
(29:16):
it having an opponent's student section chant shoot him like
a horse when he suffered a concussion in a high
school basketball game.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I don't even understand what that last one means. Maybe
I've gotten too many concussions. It's a Wisconsin thing. Just
take my word for it.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Wow, maybe Sam knows I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Gonna go the first one to nine football team.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, that's the answer. A.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I'm sorry both wrong on this one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
That would be be somehow accumulating seven fouls in a
technical in an eighth grade basketball game. And the story goes,
this was truly magical. He fouled out with five fouls,
but no one told him to sit down, so he
stayed in the game. He then committed then him it
in a cheap shot foul his sixth personal on a layup,
and they gave him a technical, which also was his
seventh personal and he then finally left the game unbelieveable.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And you know, I've definitely learn about the football team,
right like going I've won. So I was with you.
I was like, it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Sure, something tells me these are all true. But just
that was the most of them. A C was way
too oddly specific to probably not be true, right so,
but it was most embarrassing. I think we all got
time for one more, so this could be the decider. Okay, goodness,
all right, let's see, I got many to choose from.
Let's se let's see, le's see, let's see. I mean,
we could just keep it going after the break.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I mean also part to another day, because you never know.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Okay, this one's kind of my favorite. There are a
lot of questions left. Good his favorite wing sauce from
B Dubs. Oh, and we've all shared some B Dubs
with Dan.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So is it a garlic, barmesan, B honey barbecue dipped
in medium or C teriyaki and Asian zing mixed together?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Ding montrap I'm gonna go for B the mix with
the mild.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yes, the honey barbecue DiPT in medium that one. You know,
that's what I was gonna say. We're gonna keep this
game going after the break because we're gonna be tied
one way or the other, and I'm not just gonna
punt on this. If you think, yes, I actually do
think B is the right answer, and you both would
be correct.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That is honey barbecue dipted medium. I actually thought it
was the Asian thing when I think I've seen him
order that many times.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
But yeah, there you go. So we're tied up at
three or four. Uh, score scoreboard from mister Sam here
says we are.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Tied at okay, so one four two, okay two all
and uh you're both tied, yeah the four all.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, it sounds like we both know Dan, but it does.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
It does.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
We'll tell you what. Why don't we come back and
continue the conversation on Dan Byer best topic of Christmas Day.
We'll do that in just a minute, but before we do,
final time on our show, Chris Purfett, go ahead, give
us an update start to finish.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Okay, all right, we will do that. Let's start with
the NFL action on right now. Eight minutes just about
eight minutes ago, in the third quarter, it's tied seven
to seven apiece between the Lions and Minnesota Vikings. Jared
Goff just turned the ball over though Vikings with the ball.
Both quarterbacks in this affair have been sacked four times
and this is quite tough to watch. The two touchdowns
(32:28):
coming and Aaron Jones touchdown and then Isaac Teslaw, rookie
wide receiver for the Lions, a goal line catch. That
is how we got seven to seven apiece and still
a waiting more action. The earlier NFL games saw the
Cowboys over the Commanders thirty to twenty three and on
hard court for the holidays is the NBA. We're just
(32:49):
getting going here again in the third quarter, twelve minutes
to go in the third quarter, Golden State up seventy
one fifty eight over the Dallas Maverick. The earlier action
Spurs close out the Thunder one seventeen, one oh two
victor Wembinyama in that game with a nineteen points ten
rebound day, thirty four points for Jalen Brunson. In the
(33:10):
early affair, Nicks with a forty two point fourth quarter
to power past the Cavaliers one twenty six one twenty
four Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's
our turn donate this holiday season at sesame dot org
because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you. Jeff
Passon also reporting Tyler Sardstrom. Excuse me, let me try
(33:32):
that again, Soderstrum. Yeah, and the A's are in agreement
for a seven year, eighty six million dollar contract, with
the club option for an eighth season. Escalators can make
that out to one hundred and thirty one million dollars
in value, making it the largest contract in A's history,
in franchise history up until this point. That's it, guys,
(33:55):
this has been great. Thank you very much for having
me in for Christmas fans in Aaron back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:00):

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Right, and still killing it on the field, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:25):

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Dan Byer, Dad Freaking Buyer.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
By the way, I should mention I will be in
three to seven Eastern twelve to four Pacific with Dan Byer.
You're getting a much deserved day after Christmas office. Yes,
you'll be back Saturday with Martin weiss correct, and you'll
be back Saturday. I'll be back Saturday with Jason Martin.
But yeah, Dan Byer and I nice are in twelve
to four Pacific seven uh four to what is that?
Three to seven Eastern tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But before we get there, we got to figure out
who actually knows Dan Byer first? For those of us,
who knows Dan Byer best? For those just joining us
us before the break, Monsey and I are in just
a Kid Jake's Battle on dan Byer. We both got
four out of five questions right on Dan Bayer? Who
(37:14):
knows Dan Byer best? Maybe it'll get resolved. We might
have to get to do this till the next time
we host. H Yeah, but producer Lee, go ahead and
give us the next question. Well, we all know that
Dan Byer is the king of game shows. He really is,
He really really is. But do you know it wasn't
good on do you know dan Byer though conversation? But
do you know which game show host he looks up
to the most? Multiple choice?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Is it Pat Say, Jack, Bob Barker or Alex Trebek?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh this is a good one.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's really hard. Yeah, I could make the argument for
all three me too. All I know is we did
at one point with the great Jason Stewart have like
a pretty deep dive on Jeopardy, and like strategies on Jeopardy?
Are the questions easier than they used to be? I
can't remember all of the details, but I do know
(38:05):
Dan Bayer is a Jeopardy officionado or there are two choices, Pats,
Pat Sajack and Bob Barker. You know, I just I
went all the way down. I might as well just say,
Alex Trebek, You're gonna go, Alex Trebett. I don't feel
great about it.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
You know, I think there's reasons I could argue.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
For each of them. I am with you for some reason.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Again, I feel like I have a memory in my
brain that I'm trying to unlock. I want to say
Pat Sajack, all right, and that's gonna be my final answer.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Well, the answer is we're both wrong. Oh you don't know.
I don't have that. I don't have that on here
do I?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well, this is one of those ones where it's like
both are confident. I don't even need the multiple choice.
You're both wrong, Bob Barker, I knew this one without
even looking.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, see the only reason I thought he's a child
of the eighties, and that was like peak Bob Barker.
He loves the prices right, and Jay su is the
Jeopardy guy. He's the guy who watches Jopardy every night.
So I think you got it conflated because Jay Stu
is the Jeopardy guy. And we were talking with Bayer
that day.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
There is a lot of Jeopardy talk when with Jason.
You're right.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, they'll send you screenshots of answers and stuff. But
but Dan loves, he loves like he always reminisces about
staying home from schools sick and watching it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
You're right, the price is right.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
But you know, I feel like that's everybody we couldn't.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You know what I mean that or like like a
judge Judy or something or Moriovich. Sometimes I'm here before
Dan and I put on I put on the prices
right before he walks in, and with the hopes that
like will like dive into it and like watch it together.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
But he's always so busy, yeah, being Dan, you know,
I think he got time for one more question. Absolutely
do it.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Well, let's dive back into uh old school Dan.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Dan's high school summer job was multiple choice A grocery
store bagger, B mowing lawns and landscaping, or C truck
stop truck stop gas station attendant.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Manzi, I'm gonna go with A.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
All right, it's gonna decide it. Maybe I'm gonna go
with Bee, which was landscaping. Right, Yeah, I'm gonna go
with Bee landscaping.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Nope, you're see truck stop gas station attendant. Wow, we'll
learn something about Dan today and I will throw one
out there.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Do you think Dan's listening? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Maybe for this segment, I will say no.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I think Dan's got his beautiful wife and young boy Brodie.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Merry Christmas Dan, Nope, Merry Christmas Dan.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
So the answer neither of us know Dan byer better
than the other than the other.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
We're time, We're gonna have to yes for.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Now, put it in to this gambal on you, so
keep going, but I'll tell you what we gotta get
out of here. Seriously, genuinely enjoyed it. Thank you, Manci,
Yeah right back, gotcha. Enjoy your Christmas. Thank you to

Junior former Sports Radio ninety three. Wei is that right, producer?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I think.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
AI is a monster station in Boston, so I'm wondering
if that's where he is. But when I started to
know six Fox Sports Radio was on overnights, I met
Ben Maller a few times when he came up here.
And then there's one sentence that definitely is designed for
you and not me, so uh well, we'll skip that one.
But that's from Laura.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Laura, thank you for tweeting at us.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yes, he had a lot of nice things to say
about you exactly, so we will move on. No, I
think that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Bill Belichick thinks Bill, what do you think he's doing?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Though?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
What do you think Jordan Hudson gave Bill Belichick?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Since we're gonna give gim what do we think he gave?
She gave?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
She gave him a pre selected by her ugly sweater
and just they just took so many pictures in front
of the tree and he really quick. I don't mean
to go on a side tangent, but this is a
good cavino on the chop. It is what actually like,
what actually is their relationship. And I'm not trying to
be like funny and we don't have to get into
(02:43):
like the weird you know, after dark stuff, but like,
I just does he enjoy it?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is he bored?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Because my whole thing is like if you were just
bored when you were retired, okay, or when you were
out of football, but you have a job now, if
you're not happy, I don't know, it's just it's I
don't know, I don't do you do you know where
I'm going on?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I do know.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
It's just it's just you look at them and you're like,
what what is it here? I just think, you know,
he's got a good looking girl that showed interest and
he said, all right, how can I make this all
work for me? How can I keep this pretty lady
next to me? Granted she may be a little cuckoo,
but who isn't, right, who isn't There's just a level
(03:26):
of cuckoo that you're willing to deal with.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And just got a high cuckoo threshold.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
You know, he's been through a lot. He's been through
a lot. So for him, he's like, I can deal
with this. I can deal with this craziness. Every guy can.
Everyone can deal with craziness to their own extent. But
I think like he's just is like this girl's pretty.
She tells, she's telling me she likes me.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I'm gonna I'm gonna try and do it all sure,
you know, And then for her, I don't know, welly.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
We can come up, we can come up. But you know,
millions of reasons why she would be interested in him.
I am curious if he does get down on the
knee and proposed, because that that does change the calculus
on the on the math of the relationship. What was
I gonna say, I was gonna say one more thing
about them? Oh, you know what, I will say this
and maybe this is a good way to segue into
(04:13):
our Christmas gifts for your favorite sports teams and fans.
There's nothing worse than being a fan when you know
you're head coach or certainly superstar isn't fully committed to
the job. Like I think Bill Belichick took the North
Carolina job because he loves coaching football, right, But I
(04:34):
think he also just wants something to do, Like I
don't think, yeah, like the fire in the Belly two
thousand and one, Bill Belichick, Patriots guy, is the guy
coaching Carolina, and so basically he's just bilking you for
ten million dollars a year for a job that he's like,
I would say, on a scale of one to ten,
he's probably like a six out of ten in his
interest in it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, I agree.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
I don't think he was ready to fully say goodbye
to it was like he he was asked to step away.
And I understood why the Patriots wanted to do that.
You kind of want a change of everything, right like
the era right like this era is over and I
understand that, But I don't think he was ready to
let go of the game completely. And I wonder if
(05:16):
it was more like if he got we wondered how
NFL teams weren't trying to talk to him right like
that there was no serious team that seemed to be
interested in Bill Belichick. But I do wonder if a
team was interested in him as like some sort of assistant,
or like if he would have taken it, or if
it was just like, no, I want to be a
head coach.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Well, wasn't there a report that the forty nine ers
at least loosely reached out to him to be the
defensive coordinator?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Did you believe that?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Though?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Like, no, I don't know if I believe that. One.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't believe that Kyle Shanahan called him and was
offered him the defensive coordinator job. The way all this
stuff works and we know it is that basically everybody's
friends with everybody. And I'm sure like Kyle Shanahan was
hypothetically on the phone with like Josh McDaniels just cutting
it up, just talking ball. One day, I was like,
(06:05):
you think Bill would ever just be a defensive coordinator?
And then like that's the thing that drives me crazy
about these reports where people are just like, well, a
source set It's like a source could be anybody like.
It doesn't mean that that's the story. It just means
that's one version of it. And so what I think
probably happened is Shanahan was probably on the phone with
somebody who's close to Belichick, like you think he would
(06:26):
ever do it? And the answer was no. And then
whoever he was on the phone with was like on
the phone with some reporter a week later, Oh yeah,
we won't believe what Shanahan was asking me if Belichick
would be like the defense, And then it became a
source says that Kyle, you know, so that's exactly what happened.
Should we hand out some Christmas gives? All right, so Sam,
(06:47):
give us a little music. We will reset this segment.
We did it in the last couple hours. But it
is Christmas Day and we don't want to work too hard.
We don't want to diagnose Bill Belichick's personal life too hard. Here,
soa shout out to t Trap who says, I'm listening
to you from Washington State.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Thank you Christmas.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
So Coach Belichick, what we're doing now, we're picking your
favorite teams, your favorite players, and you're handing We're handing
out Christmas gifts to them. So earlier in the show,
Lee de Lap offered up not one, but two acls
to his favorite Green Bay Packers, Michael Parsons, Tucker Craft.
Moncey offered a tutorial on how to avoid concussions to
(07:31):
Jackson Darts. Chris Perfectius wants like a real player on
the US soccer team, understandably so, and I just wanted
to give the cowardly lion Adam Silver a little bit
of a heart so that he can take advantage of
what is a fun young group of NBA stars. So
we want you to tweet in with what your gifts
are for your favorite players and teams. But we're gonna
(07:52):
do it again. You're gonna start again with Monty Blonias.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I've got a few. I've got a few, So let
me give you two quick ones. Two quick ones.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We can circle back to we can I got, I
got I could.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Give to everybody. I have a gift for Pook and
a coua.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
I have a gif I would like to gift pookin
a coua the Men in Black flash pen. Sure, so
we can forget everything he did off the field this
past week.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Sure, this big week for his brother too, who stole
a car.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
So the whole thing, like, let's just forget because we're
not and he had a great.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Game, but then he went and tweeted after and so
everything just so we forget everything off the field for
the sake of his, you know, career, and like his
everything that's going on this year with the Rams, and
they're doing so well, so it doesn't take away from
the big.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Story that is Matthew Stafford and the Rams and what
they're doing.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Sean mcmah in the whole thing, let's let's give him
a man in black flash pen.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Let me ask you, Aquock question. You obviously do this
for a living. You talk all day, every day, all
day every day. Do you ever go home and your
boyfriend or your mom or your whoever just starts talking
about random stuff and you're just like, I just talked
for four hours all the time. Yeah, so I do
that a lot to but I bring it up because
that's what we need.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Just just please just just stop.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Don't open your mouth. Yeah, you can play video games
without streaming it to half the world, right just and
you can.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Complain about the zebras in the record. Just just do
it in the locker room with your homies, not on
social not on social media. It never works for you,
even though people agree, like it's you're not wrong, just
it's just you don't need to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All rightsh do you said? Do you want to do too?
Really quick?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
This is real quick. This is I'm gonna give Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh goodness, okay, just real quick.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I'm just gonna give him a chia pet.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Okay, so that you know, if he really wanted to
grow some trees, We'll start little.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
We'll start with the chia pet.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh, grow some trees, I get it, Just start a little. Well,
here's the thing. He can grow trees for fifty million
dollars and not have to do anything. He'd have to
actually water.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But we're gonna start little, Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
So maybe through the responsibility of owning a chia pet,
he can actually he would then actually fulfill the contract
obligation exactly. By the way, completely unrelated. I try not
to criticize other media members, but I was off social
media all day yesterday because it was Christmas Eve. Pablo
Torri was just going after people at like eleven thirty
(10:16):
on Christmas Eve. I'm like, dude, yet that you're reporting
is controversial.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
But like, no, it must be a nice you have
nothing else to do?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, can you? Can you take a day off?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
No, we're not solving the world investigating Jordan Hudson Iowa, Sam,
go ahead, What's what do you got? My men? This
is a gift for the Iowa football team.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
They open up this human sized box and it's a
brand new LeVar Woods. LaVar Woods was Iowa's special teams
coordinator for a long time. He's been on the staff
a while, but he was he one of the best
of the country. He was hired away by Pat Fitzgerald
at Michigan State. Oh, Michigan State has so much money
now from like this athletic trust, they can just go
out and poach you whoever they want. So LeVar Woods
(10:57):
was an elite special teams coordinator and we to LeVar
Woods two point zero, which I don't think is possible.
But please, please, Santa Iowa needs a new LeVar Woods.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
All right.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I like it me too. That's a good gift.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
What do we got? What do we got? Lee?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, I know I didn't give those Yeah. Done with
the ACLS. I only had two, so I gifted those
both to the Packers. How about to a team that
was on the AFC bracket of my pick them chart
here in the studio, I had the Packers in the NFC,
I had the Ravens in the AFC. And I know
he wants video games because that's what he likes to
(11:33):
do at night. But I think Lamar Jackson needs an agent.
So LaVar Jackson an agent, somebody to keep him in
line and just you know, put to bed.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Put to bed. All the crazy rumors that are out
there swirling, all the drama that's not needed.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
We're settling things, And can I can I give a
bonus gift?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Please?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Please?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know everyone loves a good personalized accessory.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
There's not enough personalized straws going around, and I think
you know who needs a good personal eyed silly straw.
Jake Paula. The next few weeks, so he ninety two
million dollars for that broken jaw. Yeah, I'll give him
a nice one. Yeah, we'll get a nice straw.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, idiot.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Unbelievable. I did not even know that fight was going on,
that people were so into it. I'm like, he's going.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
In there's no way right, It's like, y'all who's tuning
into this?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
But everyone talked about the Tyson fight with him, but
it's like, okay, but Tyson's fifty some Anthony Joshua gets
a bad rap because he lost to like Andy Ruiz,
who's butter being two point zero, But that doesn't make
him a fighter.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Looking for a dive here right.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Right, No, it's crazy great gifts though those were great.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It's a good stocking stuffer, really thoughtful too, all right,
Chris Purfet to top of silly straw for Jake Paul.
Speaker 8 (12:46):
Well, I'm going to do something very special for one
of the more interesting people to cover this year, Lane Kiffin.
Come on, Oh, this is Lane Kiffen's contract LSU right now,
I want to give Lane Kiffin a do over.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Wow, what's what's that?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You just tore that paper in half? I think your
Sesame Street read was on there. No no, no, no, I'm
make sure it was not a Sesame Street read. No no, no, no,
I'm not gonna screw that one.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look. I think two things here.
Speaker 8 (13:14):
Number one, I think it's a great Lane would love
this gift because he loves chaos, and he would love
to just have everyone wrapped around his finger again a
second time going through it, especially now that we know
the Michigan job is open and that could easily be
you know, And and that's part of why I'm doing
this too, because I just have a sinking feeling the
LSU job is not gonna work out for him. LSU
(13:35):
has a ton of resources, they bring in great recruits
and everything, but the palace politics of that place have
have made it so volatile that I look at that,
I thought for sure he would take the Florida job
because that seemed more stable, that you'd get a little
bit more time there, because we're in the really sickly
sweet honeymoon phase right now where they're promising him all
(13:56):
the ole miss bonuses that he was supposed to get.
But we know but he did. They did the same
thing with Brian Kelly, and they did the same thing
with LSU. You charm him in real nice and sweet,
but if you don't get that success after about two years,
the knives start coming out. This this search for Lane
Kiffin involved the governor of Louisiana, who is now an
envoy to Greenland. So like this is this is it
(14:18):
has been described as Cajun how these things are handled
down there, and uh.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Good luck, good luck.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I hope you, Lane, you come out of the gate swinging,
because uh, otherwise this is gonna be tough.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
So I will say this on the Lane Kiffin, what
you said about him not being like liv I'm getting
the same vibe. So I've told this story a million times.
I remember listening to Lebron James's opening press conference when
he got to the Lakers, and one of the first questions,
maybe the first question, was what would what would it
mean to your legacy to win a title as a Laker?
(14:50):
M M and Lebron was like, my leg my legacy,
and he didn't understand, like, it's cool that you want
to chaeampionship in Cleveland for your home fans and you
want a bunch of Miami. No one in La cares
what you did in Cleveland. Your Lakers legacy will one
hundred percent be defined by if you win championships plural
(15:13):
here or not. And as we get towards the end
of the Lebron James era, it's clear that he has
not lived up to those expectations, and I feel the
same with Lane Kiffin. Is I just feel like he's
showing up. Well, look at what I did at all,
Miss lsu fans don't care about what you did. It'll
miss are you gonna win us a Natty or two
or not? And if you're not winning a Natty? To
(15:34):
Chris Purfett's point, you know they're gotta get ready as soon.
You're gonna say something real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Before before you move on the compare. I hear the
comparison that you made a bit with Lebron because I
agree with you. The legacy with Lebron and the Lakers.
It's not turning out to be.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
What he thought on.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
But Lane Kiffin wishes he was Lebron James, Oh yeah,
you know what I'm saying, like you wish you were,
because I just like Chris Prophett is giving him essentially
a second chance.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I'd be like, no, you get call, and that is it.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
That's the problem. He doesn't have the self awareness to
take advantage of the second chance. Because we were so
Me and j mart were on airon you and Martin
Weiss were on air as well during the standoff with
the ads.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
It's so ridiculous where it was just.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
So obvious that he was because remember going into that day,
he was trying to kick, well, what if we play
in the SEC championship game, And it was so obvious
that he was in the president's house, the school president,
not you know, in the White House, throwing a fit
because they wouldn't let him coach in the playoff. And
I'm like, get over it, get over it. So I'll
tell you what My gift is, similar but not identical
(16:35):
to Chris's. Okay, I want to give all college football
fans a ventilator. Oh to take a deep freaking breath,
because not everything in college football is an existential crisis. Okay,
college football is the only sport we're every year there
(16:58):
is an existential crisis that it has to be addressed
this second, or the whole sport is falling apart. This
year it is, oh my god, through weird happen stance,
we got two group of five teams in the college
football Playoff and neither of them was that competitive. Okay,
it's not that big of a deal. And there are
(17:19):
one hundred and thirty four teams in the sport and
I'm sorry, there's like eighty group of five teams. We
can't give them one spot in a twelve team playoff
and oh, by the way, who got left out? Texas
lost to and off of Florida team Vandy didn't beat
anybody of consequence. Notre Dame certainly didn't beat anybody of consequence.
(17:43):
So college football fans, I want to help you take
a deep breath. Here is a ventilator. Chill out. Your
sport is awesome. Stop every single year feeling like you
need to tinker and tweak and change, because at some
point it's just not gonna be a sport that any
of us like or love some exactly. R E l A.
(18:07):
Thank you Aaron Rodgers really quick. I'm looking at you.
Put your head in that stocking monte. I know you
have a few stocking stuffers to give out, so go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I would like to give Derrick Henry some sticky gloves. Okay,
so maybe he stops fumbling the ball. Oh, because he
definitely didn't do that in his career until now.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
So maybe we can give him some sticky gloves.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yes, that'd be nice.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Can we can we give the Kansas City Chiefs a
new PR group because the way that they are hated
it is unhealthy.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The weird, the move to Kansas was so weird this week?
Was that reported? Like?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Was that it was?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No? No, like, but did anyone know that was coming
to me? It came out of nowhere, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah, it did come out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
By the way, I will say as someone who has
driven from Kansas City to Lawrence, Kansas. Kansas City is
right on the Kansas border. They obviously just got all
sorts of crazy tax breaks and that's why they're building
it in Kansas. But for like the average Kansas City fan,
it makes zero impact on anything, but it does still
kind of suck for their headquarters are in the state
of Kansas.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, they said it wasn't until like twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, the least I don't think ends still twenty thirty.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
So yeah, it is kind of and out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Like you said, any last second.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Stocking, Yeah, no, if we have time, maybe we'll do more.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
But no, let's let's we got we got a game
to play.
Speaker 1 (19:25):

Very easy. You know what else is also easy? Working
with Dan Bier, It really is. Dan Bayer is out today,
but it is officially time to play a game.
Speaker 10 (22:55):
He's his co host. Sometimes think it's kind of work
outing she's his Sometimes they don't do this, But the
real question is who knows fire best?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Let's find out, all right, So that is an intro
to America's new favorite game, who Knows Buyer Best. So,
Dan Byer, I don't think it's hyperbole to call him
a Fox Sports Radio icon.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Pay.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I think he probably has the highest thank you. See,
I was gonna say he's got the highest approval rating
of anyone I've ever met. But part of it is
because he's always telling me great job, even when he's
not here. And so Mansei has come up with a
little bit of a game called who Knows Dan Byer Best.
Producer Lee has been scouring Dan Bayer's high school yearbook,
(23:42):
his social media pages for the deepest and darkest but
not secrets is a bad word, but now fun facts
is the way we'll put it about Dan Bayer. Lee
is gonna pepper us with questions we're gonna answer, and
we're gonna find out once and for all who knows
Dan Byer Best. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
I thought I knew Dan pretty well, but I've learned
more about Dan than I take care too throughout my research.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So let's start hot. That is hot, Thank you, Dan.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
What is Dan's favorite sports tradition is it first day
of March Madness, the super Bowl or the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You want to go?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
You can? You want to go?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yes, go for it, I will say very quickly. First
of all, his real favorite sports tradition is making cinnamon
buns on the first day of the British Open.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Yes, that's actually I was waiting for a golf her.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yes, Dan Byer is very vocal about he picks one
day every year during the British Open. Remember it obviously
starts early, or they call it the Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, and he makes cinnamon buns. He does, And so
I will say very quickly March madness. But I actually
think we should both get a point for that one,
because that is actually the correct answer. But say March Madness, kitch.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You know, I was waiting for you.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
To say golf because I was I was like, that's
the answer. Options are March Madness, the NFL Draft, what
super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I think it's March Madness, golf.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, well, the correct answer does go to you both
said March Madness.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I didn't need to get two points.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
We should And.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I only assume because I have some help putting this together.
Is that one of these he must loathe, like, is
it the NFL Draft or the super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
He like covers a lot of super Bowls, so I
imagine it's not like a it's a work thing that
he doesn't get that to just sit back and.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
And enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yes, yeah, all right, Next one up. What Michigan man
annoys Dan the most? Chris Webber, Tom Brady or Desmond Howard?
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Oh Man, I actually have no idea on this one,
but I am going to take a guess.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
And say it's Chris Webber.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
All right, Well, I will say this.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Dan Byer and I were on air speaking of March
madness during the bracket selection show when Tom Brady came
out of retirement and he was not happy. But I
actually think the answer is Desmond Howard, just because Desmond
Howard's kinda not really likable, especially if you're not a
Michigan fan. I will go Desmond Howard final.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Answer, and the correct answer does go to mister Aaron Torres.
There's a long list, he says, and they all annoy
him to some degree, but he still cringes and looks
away every time Desmond Howard does the Heisman pose in
the end zone. Plus his college football takes are atrocious, unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
That's good. I really had no idea on that one.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That was good. Desmond Howard has become kind of a
little bit of a lightning rod. Dan's in Ohio state
fan too. So all right, Lee, what's next? This is fun?
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I'm all right, which tournament would Dan choose to golf in?
If given the choice? Would it be the Masters, the
US Open, or the Open Championship.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'm gonna go first, And based on what I said,
he makes cinnamon buns every year on I don't actually
think it's the first day. I think it's one of
the days he picks a different day. I will say
the Open Championship. It's kind of the weather's cold, you know,
it's the elements. Just Dan Buyer strikes me as a
royal truon kind of guy. So I'm gonna go the
(27:21):
Open Championship.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know, I am actually gonna go with the Masters.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Any reason specifically or just.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
I just feel like I've had this conversation with him,
maybe like for some reason, there's like a memory I'm
trying to unlock sure, and that's why I want to
say the Masters, but you're you're on with the Cinnamons.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
I know the semon rules, but why do I want
to say the Masters?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
A green jacket would bring out his eyes? Yes, probably
because that is the correct answer.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
There's a merry in there I'm trying to unlock.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Who wouldn't write old fan would probably put that at
the top. So it's tied here it is.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
We both got the first one, right, then Aaron got
the second question, and then monts you got the third question.
So yes, next one up. Dan's favorite throwback uniform of
the NFL. Is it the Royal Blue retro Seahawks or
the Buccaneers creamsicle?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh my god?
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Can I go because right away when you said that,
I thought Buccaneers creamsicle.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
So I'm gonna go with that one.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So right away when you said that, I thought the
Royal Blue Seahawks. But I feel like I have seen
him tweet on more than one occasion about the creamsicle,
So I'm going creamsicle. Final answer, And that would be
as we didn't even try to work on that one together. No,
we're supposed to be competing. We are everyone to Chris, Yes,
(28:54):
I'll tied up three three, all.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Right, A little dive into that, uh in that yearbook
of Dance here that I did so much research on.
What is Dan's most infamous sports moment? Is it playing
on a high school football team that went oh to
nine one season? Is it somehow accumulating seven fouls and
a technical and an eighth grade basketball game? Or is
(29:16):
it having an opponent's student section chant shoot him like
a horse when he suffered a concussion in a high
school basketball game.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I don't even understand what that last one means. Maybe
I've gotten too many concussions. It's a Wisconsin thing. Just
take my word for it.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Wow, maybe Sam knows I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Gonna go the first one to nine football team.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, that's the answer. A.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I'm sorry both wrong on this one.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
That would be be somehow accumulating seven fouls in a
technical in an eighth grade basketball game. And the story goes,
this was truly magical. He fouled out with five fouls,
but no one told him to sit down, so he
stayed in the game. He then committed then him it
in a cheap shot foul his sixth personal on a layup,
and they gave him a technical, which also was his
seventh personal and he then finally left the game unbelieveable.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
And you know, I've definitely learn about the football team,
right like going I've won. So I was with you.
I was like, it's a.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Sure, something tells me these are all true. But just
that was the most of them. A C was way
too oddly specific to probably not be true, right so,
but it was most embarrassing. I think we all got
time for one more, so this could be the decider. Okay, goodness,
all right, let's see, I got many to choose from.
Let's se let's see, le's see, let's see. I mean,
we could just keep it going after the break.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I mean also part to another day, because you never know.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Okay, this one's kind of my favorite. There are a
lot of questions left. Good his favorite wing sauce from
B Dubs. Oh, and we've all shared some B Dubs
with Dan.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
So is it a garlic, barmesan, B honey barbecue dipped
in medium or C teriyaki and Asian zing mixed together?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Ding montrap I'm gonna go for B the mix with
the mild.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yes, the honey barbecue DiPT in medium that one. You know,
that's what I was gonna say. We're gonna keep this
game going after the break because we're gonna be tied
one way or the other, and I'm not just gonna
punt on this. If you think, yes, I actually do
think B is the right answer, and you both would
be correct.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That is honey barbecue dipted medium. I actually thought it
was the Asian thing when I think I've seen him
order that many times.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
But yeah, there you go. So we're tied up at
three or four. Uh, score scoreboard from mister Sam here
says we are.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Tied at okay, so one four two, okay two all
and uh you're both tied, yeah the four all.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, it sounds like we both know Dan, but it does.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
It does.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
We'll tell you what. Why don't we come back and
continue the conversation on Dan Byer best topic of Christmas Day.
We'll do that in just a minute, but before we do,
final time on our show, Chris Purfett, go ahead, give
us an update start to finish.
Speaker 8 (32:07):
Okay, all right, we will do that. Let's start with
the NFL action on right now. Eight minutes just about
eight minutes ago, in the third quarter, it's tied seven
to seven apiece between the Lions and Minnesota Vikings. Jared
Goff just turned the ball over though Vikings with the ball.
Both quarterbacks in this affair have been sacked four times
and this is quite tough to watch. The two touchdowns
(32:28):
coming and Aaron Jones touchdown and then Isaac Teslaw, rookie
wide receiver for the Lions, a goal line catch. That
is how we got seven to seven apiece and still
a waiting more action. The earlier NFL games saw the
Cowboys over the Commanders thirty to twenty three and on
hard court for the holidays is the NBA. We're just
(32:49):
getting going here again in the third quarter, twelve minutes
to go in the third quarter, Golden State up seventy
one fifty eight over the Dallas Maverick. The earlier action
Spurs close out the Thunder one seventeen, one oh two
victor Wembinyama in that game with a nineteen points ten
rebound day, thirty four points for Jalen Brunson. In the
(33:10):
early affair, Nicks with a forty two point fourth quarter
to power past the Cavaliers one twenty six one twenty
four Sesame Street helped raise all of us. Now it's
our turn donate this holiday season at sesame dot org
because the world needs Sesame and Sesame needs you. Jeff
Passon also reporting Tyler Sardstrom. Excuse me, let me try
(33:32):
that again, Soderstrum. Yeah, and the A's are in agreement
for a seven year, eighty six million dollar contract, with
the club option for an eighth season. Escalators can make
that out to one hundred and thirty one million dollars
in value, making it the largest contract in A's history,
in franchise history up until this point. That's it, guys,
(33:55):
this has been great. Thank you very much for having
me in for Christmas fans in Aaron back to you.

Speaker 3 (36:22):

Speaker 1 (36:25):

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Dan Byer, Dad Freaking Buyer.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
By the way, I should mention I will be in
three to seven Eastern twelve to four Pacific with Dan Byer.
You're getting a much deserved day after Christmas office. Yes,
you'll be back Saturday with Martin weiss correct, and you'll
be back Saturday. I'll be back Saturday with Jason Martin.
But yeah, Dan Byer and I nice are in twelve
to four Pacific seven uh four to what is that?
Three to seven Eastern tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (36:51):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But before we get there, we got to figure out
who actually knows Dan Byer first? For those of us,
who knows Dan Byer best? For those just joining us
us before the break, Monsey and I are in just
a Kid Jake's Battle on dan Byer. We both got
four out of five questions right on Dan Bayer? Who
(37:14):
knows Dan Byer best? Maybe it'll get resolved. We might
have to get to do this till the next time
we host. H Yeah, but producer Lee, go ahead and
give us the next question. Well, we all know that
Dan Byer is the king of game shows. He really is,
He really really is. But do you know it wasn't
good on do you know dan Byer though conversation? But
do you know which game show host he looks up
to the most? Multiple choice?
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Is it Pat Say, Jack, Bob Barker or Alex Trebek?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh this is a good one.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
It's really hard. Yeah, I could make the argument for
all three me too. All I know is we did
at one point with the great Jason Stewart have like
a pretty deep dive on Jeopardy, and like strategies on Jeopardy?
Are the questions easier than they used to be? I
can't remember all of the details, but I do know
(38:05):
Dan Bayer is a Jeopardy officionado or there are two choices, Pats,
Pat Sajack and Bob Barker. You know, I just I
went all the way down. I might as well just say,
Alex Trebek, You're gonna go, Alex Trebett. I don't feel
great about it.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
You know, I think there's reasons I could argue.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
For each of them. I am with you for some reason.
Speaker 5 (38:25):
Again, I feel like I have a memory in my
brain that I'm trying to unlock. I want to say
Pat Sajack, all right, and that's gonna be my final answer.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Well, the answer is we're both wrong. Oh you don't know.
I don't have that. I don't have that on here
do I?
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Well, this is one of those ones where it's like
both are confident. I don't even need the multiple choice.
You're both wrong, Bob Barker, I knew this one without
even looking.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, see the only reason I thought he's a child
of the eighties, and that was like peak Bob Barker.
He loves the prices right, and Jay su is the
Jeopardy guy. He's the guy who watches Jopardy every night.
So I think you got it conflated because Jay Stu
is the Jeopardy guy. And we were talking with Bayer
that day.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
There is a lot of Jeopardy talk when with Jason.
You're right.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, they'll send you screenshots of answers and stuff. But
but Dan loves, he loves like he always reminisces about
staying home from schools sick and watching it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
You're right, the price is right.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
But you know, I feel like that's everybody we couldn't.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You know what I mean that or like like a
judge Judy or something or Moriovich. Sometimes I'm here before
Dan and I put on I put on the prices
right before he walks in, and with the hopes that
like will like dive into it and like watch it together.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
But he's always so busy, yeah, being Dan, you know,
I think he got time for one more question. Absolutely
do it.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Well, let's dive back into uh old school Dan.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Dan's high school summer job was multiple choice A grocery
store bagger, B mowing lawns and landscaping, or C truck
stop truck stop gas station attendant.
Speaker 5 (39:55):
Manzi, I'm gonna go with A.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
All right, it's gonna decide it. Maybe I'm gonna go
with Bee, which was landscaping. Right, Yeah, I'm gonna go
with Bee landscaping.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Nope, you're see truck stop gas station attendant. Wow, we'll
learn something about Dan today and I will throw one
out there.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Do you think Dan's listening? Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
Maybe for this segment, I will say no.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I think Dan's got his beautiful wife and young boy Brodie.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Merry Christmas Dan, Nope, Merry Christmas Dan.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
So the answer neither of us know Dan byer better
than the other than the other.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
We're time, We're gonna have to yes for.
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Now, put it in to this gambal on you, so
keep going, but I'll tell you what we gotta get
out of here. Seriously, genuinely enjoyed it. Thank you, Manci,
Yeah right back, gotcha. Enjoy your Christmas. Thank you to
Iowa Sam. Thank you to producer Lee. Thank you to
Chris Perfett on the boards. Thank you all, and thank

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
