Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight

I came back to radio because I wanted to talk

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Man. Hey, I got a top five list for you, okay, good,
I got a top five list of cigarette nicknames.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Top five list of cigarette nicknames. Okay, we don't have
a sounder. Maybe the guys back in La do have
some or a sounder.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
For you to kind of break it up here, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:03):

Yes, number a heater yep, number two but Dart mm hmmm.
And the number one cigarette nickname a cowboy.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay, yes, that's what is he calls him when he
smokes him. Yes, thank you for the call, Brian, We
appreciate it. Are we giving him applause?

Speaker 6 (01:35):
Can we go from that?

Speaker 7 (01:38):
Because of nicknames for cigarettes, one of them being Dart
to doing call on Jackson Dart, it feels like it's
a good segue.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Right, yes, but you know you realize what happened there, right.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I thought he was going to go with like athletes
that can note cigarettes, and that's why I said marrying butts.

Speaker 7 (01:53):
Yes, and then he just said nicknames of cigarettes classics
Stucatts wasn't really listening.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Al al lighter is a great one, that is.

Speaker 8 (02:06):
Jackson Dart.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yes, and Kurt Signetti of course, sig sigh Siggs. There's
gotta be someone. Wasn't there justin smoke somewhere, the smoke Monster.

Speaker 8 (02:21):
I think he was a mariner.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
He was a mariner. Look at that pole.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
This guy is ready for pictures and catchers. I think
he was a Mariner put it on the pole tailor
justin smoke. Do you think he was a Mariner?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Yes or no?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Because I honestly I think he was. I also think
he was a blue Jay as well. Now I'm gonna
be stuck here the entire time just thinking of athletes
who connote cigarettes al lighter is exceptional?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Is Arthur Ash? How about that?

Speaker 6 (02:57):
I think you've done this list before.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's been while, Arthur Ash. Let's go out to Let's
go to Calvin at westbom Beach. You want to talk
about Jackson Dart?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
All right too, Gotts.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
It's good to hear from you again. And I want
to tell you how I can say Jackson Dart's career.
If I'm John Harball, I'm saying, with this contract, Jackson
Dart needs to sign up for Little League baseball in
the off season so we can learn how to slide
and not get crushed every time he leaves the pocket.

Speaker 9 (03:25):
I'd be here.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
The games are only forty five minutes during the week.
Forty five minutes could save an entire career and bring
the Giant some success.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
What do you think? All right? Well, thank you, Calvin,
Mike go ahead, don't know the last time you went
to a little league game.

Speaker 8 (03:38):
But they don't know how to slide either.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Good you're going to them every weekend, aren't you?

Speaker 7 (03:45):
Justin smoke was a Ranger, Seattle Mariner, a Toronto Blue Jay,
a Milwaukee Brewer, and a San Francisco Giant.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Thank you, Izzy. I'm glad someone look that up. You're
always there for me.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Because me and Mikey were about to do about ten
minutes on going the little league baseball games.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
You're you're still thinking about cigarettes and athletes. I already know.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I mean, I ended the game with Arthur Ash. I
thought Mikey did with that lighter that I came back
with Ash. And that's how we play the game.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I mean, Siggs.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
I will always associate him with cigarettes now, hadn't until
I started smoking.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yes, let's uh, do we have another call here because
I'm gonna go back to the sound here.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Okay, let's go. Let's go to the sound here.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Of Pegola and being the Buffalo Bills press conference where
Pogola felt the need to step in and answer a
question that was asked to Brandon Bean.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Brandon had the trade deadline.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
You said that you felt the team had a championship roster.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
What tenor in mine.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
Lives because I'm going to play the Brandon Beans. I say,
we went to Jacksonville and we won a good team.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
We're not gonna get this out.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
We're not gonna get.

Speaker 7 (05:04):
I feel like the guys in LA are doing a
thing like they're beating us to our own punch because
we are going to be the crew that is led
by Stu Gatt that is probably going to screw up
and no matter how specific we asked, yes, we're gonna
get something a.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Little bit different.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, listen, I hope that's the case. I do. I
hope they are. I hope they're playing chess and we're
playing checkers. Back here in per Fines.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
That was a different sound because they mentioned something about Jacksonville.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Goulb.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's out because I'm laughing about it, because you have
a goal explaining that Bean didn't want Coleman.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
And there's a lot to dissect there because.

Speaker 10 (05:39):
Stu, this is Dan in LA. So this is yeah,
this is where the confusion. This is where the confusion happens.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Man. I want you to come on more often. I
like this.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Okay, this is confidence right here, and listen, we need you,
and I love you, Dan, So go ahead, all right, let's.

Speaker 10 (05:52):
Yeah, let's do this. So it was so much of
a train wreck that Terry Pigula interrupted many a questions
in today's presser. So they're there was the there was
the part about the bad call that he made. There
was the one to Bean. That's the one that we
played right before the break. I actually had to cut
it off because Pegola would stop, wouldn't stop talking. Here's

(06:13):
that whole exchange with Pegoula wasting no time merging into
Brandon Bean's.

Speaker 11 (06:19):
Lane interrupt I'll address.

Speaker 10 (06:22):
I mean, first of all, that was a zero point
six seconds like Bean didn't even get the n out in.
I mean, and Pegoula is already in his lane all
right here.

Speaker 8 (06:30):
It is.

Speaker 11 (06:33):
A situation the coaching staff that pushed to draft Kan.
I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he
wasn't his next choice. That was Brandon being a team
player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt

(06:54):
strongly about the player. And he's taken, for some reason,
heat over it and not saying a word about it.
But I'm here to tell you the true story.

Speaker 8 (07:07):
Stu, which is which is interesting because it sounds good
what is saying. But we we have a bit of
a Stu Goots of the Day situation on our hands here, right,
because we also have sound of Brandon Bean after the
Keon Coleman selection here. Basically, when I went to bed

(07:27):
that night, I was like, it's it's Keon unless someone
just blows us away.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
Where does that dramatic music come from? Is this like
the ultimate documentary of the Buffalo Bills draft?

Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yes? Where where is that from? Tailor? Do you know?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because it was awfully dramatic underneath Dan Byer, you and
the MVP of today's show, my friend, thank you very much, sir,
You're welcome.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Guys.

Speaker 8 (07:51):
I believe that video was just from a a thing
that the Bills cut together.

Speaker 7 (07:55):
Right, So this makes it feel like like Terry Pegoula said, guys,
come into my office here.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
Let's all huddle up.

Speaker 7 (08:03):
Let's figure out why we underachieved this year. Let's figure
out why we couldn't get past the stinky Denver Broncos
offense and why Josh Allen couldn't carry us, And the
consensus that they seemed to come to is it's all
key On Coleman's fault, yes, and let's figure out whose
fault it was that we drafted him and then get

(08:23):
rid of them, right, and so.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
It's like, let me take this right here.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
I got you, Yes, Keon Coleman, the coaches decided to
draft him. We sucked because of him. Therefore we got
rid of the coaches. Keon Coleman, you can stay. Yes, coaches,
get at it.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'll remind you we scored a touchdown last week in
a playoff game.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
I mean, but he's the reason they lost.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
So, Stu, what I think happened is I was reading
a report from Vic Carucci. He's a Bills contributor.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Know who he is, you're telling the audience. He's a
legend teller. That's who he is, just like Dan Bayer.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Go ahead.

Speaker 8 (08:59):
So his report, he said this was after the season ended.
I'm told that during a meeting held five weeks ago
between McDermott, Bean and Pagola, McDermott pointed out what the
roster lacked to win a Super Bowl. I'm told neither
Bean nor Pagoola was pleased with McDermott's assessment. So it
kind of was like McDermott was like, hey, you guys

(09:20):
don't have a Super Bowl roster, and Pagoola and Bean
were like, yes, we do. Stop blaming us, it's not
our fault. In fact, did you say this was five
weeks ago? Five weeks ago he basically told them, Hey,
this is so, this.

Speaker 12 (09:34):
Is before the playoffs. They're like, hey, guys, we're not
winning this. We don't have a Super Bowl roster. I
know we're going to the playoffs. Yes, it's not going
to work.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Out for us.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yes, there's so much to unpack there though there really is,
because well it seems like Brandon Bean went to bed
wanting key on Coleman. So like, I don't know who
to believe here. But if Pogoola is telling the truth
here and his version is the truth where Bean didn't
want him and the coaches have talked being into taking
key on Coleman, that's a problem right there. You're the GM.

(10:05):
You're in charge of the players who play on that field.
You're in charge of the players who come to that team.
I'm not saying coach you should have his say, but
you're the GM and you have finals say. Why are
you letting Sean McDermott dictate who it is you want
in the draft.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
Has there ever been Kean Coleman's twenty two? Has there
ever been anybody that young demand to trade because there's
no chance in hell he should be on this team.

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Nick, there's no coming back for.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
I mean, you be trading him on a high again.
He scored a touchdown last week in a playoff game.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
Even if you want to give being the benefit of
the doubt for whose idea was to sign or whose
idea was to draft Coleman right? Joshua Palmer three year deal,
twenty nine million dollar contract, Joshua Palmer twenty five receiving
yards per game this season in the twenty five in
the twelve games he played, Elijah Moore only had nine catches.

(10:58):
He was waived to room for Brandon Cooks. So like,
even if one instance was McDermott, bean, take some responsibility
for how this roster got.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
Here and wasn't a lot of the talk when they
moved on from Diggs is we don't need the one
special wide receiver. It's more of a group think because
we've got josh Allen that could put it anywhere. And
now they're saying, oh no, no, we needed Keyon Coleman
to be that number one receiver that Sefon Diggs was.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
You want to know what's funny about the Digs thing?
They're in play for a J. Brown.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
That's a good match.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
It is a good so is Diggs.

Speaker 8 (11:37):
Guys.

Speaker 10 (11:37):
If you remember Dan and La again, if you remember
the twenty twenty four draft, remember, yes, they traded with
the Chiefs so Kansas City could get Xavier Worthy. So
not only did they do the deal, it was Hulso
Buffalo falling back so they could be on the back
end of the wide receiver run because it was Worthy.
Pier sall Legette goes to Carolina in this then Keon

(12:01):
Coleman's first up in the second round.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Thank you, Dan.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Just a little spoiler alert, I'm never gonna remember any
of the NFL drafts.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, Dan, I like Dan. I like having you here
all the time.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I like the role for you as a fact checker, okay,
like and bringing, yeah, bringing some facts at the table.
Because well it's funny too, because what we done was
Terry Pegoula said McDermott wanted to draft Gary Coleman and
not ke Coleman and.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Said cheer Okay, I didn't say stand up comedian.

Speaker 8 (12:32):
No you're right what you're talking about, Dan O, God,
it's worse.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
Mike. He is so happy.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
This is the happiest I've seen him since we started
on Monday.

Speaker 8 (12:47):
It's crazy. I have that reference in my bag as
a thirty one year old.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
It is, well, you're an old thirty one.

Speaker 7 (12:51):
Darry Coleman used to be on a show called Different Strokes.
They were adopted, they lived in New York City. It
was the whole thing funny.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
You have young people listening to radio and I mean
maybe they're in the back seat.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Here's the other thing.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
For the Buffalo Bills fans, Okay, do they not think
that Josh Allen was very aware of what Pogola was
going to do because I guarantee you ownership ranted by
Josh Allen.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
No, but he said they didn't.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Oh he did. I don't care.

Speaker 12 (13:23):
He also said that it wasn't Brandon Bean who drafted
ke Coleman.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Let's not worry about what Terry. Yeah, Pagol's all over
the place. He really is.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
He said that about being Then Bean comes out and
he says, with weird music behind him, says that he
went to sleep thinking about Keon Coleman which is weird.

Speaker 7 (13:39):
I do love the ken I interrupt. I mean, you
can do whatever you want. You can fire the person
you've just hired, you can you can do anything you
can take the blame for, or you can blame the
coaches rather for drafting Keon Coleman. But just if you're
gonna interrupt, just recognize what you're doing because it was
a disaster.

Speaker 11 (13:55):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
But you do you really believe Pagola when he says
I didn't ask Josh Allen because he listen, he put
key On Coleman in a bad spot.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
Okay, he's not gonna do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
To his generational whole quarterback in Josh Allen If he
says no, I went to Josh, I said, hey, I'm
gonna fire McDermott and promote Bean check check from Josh Allen.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Do you know what Josh would be going through today?

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Well, do you know what Josh would say if and
when the owner checks in on him, it's like, hey,
here's my opinion, but don't tell anybody I gave it
to you.

Speaker 12 (14:27):
Yes, how much of a boss move would it be
if Goola goes can I interrupted?

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Billy Bean just goes no, answers the.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Question and then gets another promotion.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Bean wishes he did.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Stuke, Can I please do you a favor? Yes, and
ease you into some NBA talk when we come back.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
I have a metal stand of mistakes that we have
made as a show over the first couple of days here.
We'll have to revise it tomorrow because there were some
made today. No one's fault, probably mine. I'm okay with that.
I'll take the blame. I'll take the heat around here.
I'm not gonna get mad at anyone back in LA
because I love those guys, and I will introduce you
to my new family next week. Taylor, what do you

(15:08):
have there?

Speaker 8 (15:08):
You can add another mistake to that, because I believe Mike,
you just called Brandon bean Billy Bean?

Speaker 4 (15:13):
So what gouble the beans? Cutting it up?

Speaker 6 (15:15):
I said this, there's too many beans the metal stand.
Too many beans in sports.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Now. Try to think of athletes that can known a bean.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
Stig got the company here on a Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Is he wants to introduce us to the NBA because
no one starts paying attention till after football season? And
he's right, but I'm not there yet. We have three
games left to play. I'm getting close, is he?

Speaker 7 (16:05):
So I have to wait till after the super Bowl,
which is all start weekend?

Speaker 6 (16:10):
Well?

Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, perhaps we could do it tomorrow, okay, or if
we have enough time left in this segment, after I'm
done doing what it is I want to do, which
is make fun of ourselves.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
All right, So you'll leave me about ten seconds about it.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Yeah, we better be careful, Taylor, because if we don't
talk NBA, is He's gonna walk the hell out of here.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
I'm telling you right.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
Now, we haven't even gotten to Baker Mayfield. You have
taken shots a Kevin Stefans.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
What is Baker doing? Enough? Is enough? I win a
couple of playoff games?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
I mean, seriously, never has a guy who has played
that position done so little at talk so much that
Baker Mayfield? What is he doing with Stefanski, and he's
pointing out that Stefanski never reached out to him after
he released him and let him go.

Speaker 4 (16:51):
What does he want? It's a business, get out of here.

Speaker 6 (16:55):
So we are getting to Baker Mayfield first. Taylor got
me going.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
He knows how to get me go.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
Baker, Taylor, can you take this note real quick, learn
how to get Izzy going because I'm gonna need some
help there.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
No, no, no, no, he doesn't need any help. He
knows what it takes to get you going. It's the
NBA and cigarettes.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
I mean, yeah, it's not a secret.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Yeah Stefanski sixteen and twenty six without Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
But Baker hasn't done enough where he could be the
quarterback talking trash to Kevin Stefanski. Neither of them have
done enough. But Stefanski is not the one talking trash.

Speaker 8 (17:30):
Baker is.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
If we rewind and go back to Week six of
the NFL season, I think Baker could have said whatever he.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
Wanted because he was the MVP.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
Yes he was. He had a two week run as
the MVP this season.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
He was the or, as we like to call out,
the holder of the MVP.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Bowl Mikey, you're disagreeing.

Speaker 8 (17:46):
I miss this Baker. This is the Baker I want.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
I don't want polite Baker.

Speaker 12 (17:50):
I don't want Baker saying all the cliche stuff. Give
me the Baker that's gonna call out his former coach
and be like, can't wait to play you twice.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
No, this Baker I want. This is the Baker I
want as well. I just want him to win.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
This is the only Baker. This has always been Baker, right.
This has been Baker grabbing his junk when he was
with Oklahoma. This has been Baker dancing when he was
with Oklahoma. It has always been the same guy.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Say what you will, Baker is he's exactly right, Ohen seventeen,
he's talking seventeen to Oh, he's talking, and there's no difference.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's the same guy.

Speaker 8 (18:17):
Just for context for the audience is like, what are
these guys talking about. A reporter from the Atlanta Journal
Constitution good Job labeled Mayfield as part of the dumpster
fire at quarterback that Stefanski had during his time as
head coach of the Browns. Baker. Mayfield responded on Twitter
and he said, quote failed is quite the reach. Pal
still waiting on a text call from him after I

(18:39):
got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can't wait
to see you twice a year, coach.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
How many teams is Baker and po Yeah it's so good?
How many teams? As Baker played on Stefanski did that
to him?

Speaker 7 (18:50):
He was on Carolina first second, he was with the
Rams ceremented in now Tampa.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Is that it?

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yes, at least he doesn't hold on to stuff I mean,
but I mean, by the way, Taylor, you're a regular
Dan buyer over there.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Great job, yes, straightening things out.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
But if you're going to make any sort of interesting
out of that division.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
This is how you have to do it.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Well, Baker just did it. Yeah, yes, he just did it.
So I guess we should be okay with it. Just win,
just win something. So listen, I want to explain to
the art this is going to be a show that
makes fun of itselfs okay, of ourselves. It's the way
I've been doing it for twenty years. It's the way
I'm going to continue to do it because we are.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Doing live radio, and live radio is very tricky to do.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
So can I make fun of you real quick for
not twice you said itself.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yes, I don't know why I keep doing that.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
I know, perhaps because we do three hours of podcasting
before we come on the air every day.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Check it out. Steve Got's some company, God bless football.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
A little five star you did? Huh?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
A little five You're turning into me and I'm just
getting old. A five star review that helps, a nice rating, perhaps,
a little comments, a little download, and then unsubscribe and
then do it all over again.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
A hard emoji.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yes, so listen, every time you do that, you subscribe
and unsubscribe.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Izzy will have a cigarette. Okay, you do it twenty
times a day, he'll smoke twenty a day.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
So anyway, we've made some mistakes here because we have
a crew in pember Pines, Florida, doing the show myself,
Taylor and is he. We have mikey A who is
unfortunately for him in Connecticut.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
I hate it here, I know you do.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
And we have a crew in Sherman Oaks, California. I
have never done a radio show this way. I have
always done a radio show for the plus years. I've
been doing this staring through a piece of bulletproof glass,
looking at a team of producers who are taking phone
calls and feeding me lines. So, because we're doing this

(21:13):
doing it this way, mistakes happen.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's live radio.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
On a second when you used to stare at people
through bullets.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Mistakes.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
But I was just pointing out the difficulties with this
particular task. The last three days. It has not been easy.
Communication has not been easy. That is no one's fault. Okay,
all of it will get fixed. We will get better
as a group. We will get better.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
As a teen okay, and I'm including the guys in
Sherman Oaks. Although no one is better than Dan Byer.
This man is ready for anything, okay, and we need him.
I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Right now, we needed him until today.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I think I just heard yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
As I was saying, we make mistakes because we are
doing the show in three different states and the communication.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Hasn't been great, and it's live radio.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
And even if all those guys in Sherman oaks to
Ezy's point, we're standing right in front of me, we
probably still would have made mistakes. So with the Winter
Olympics right around the corner, because listen, football is gonna
it's gonna wind down here, and what we're gonna be
left with is pitchers. Catchers never know where you're gonna
stay next, and Ski I don't either, And so I

(22:19):
made a I have a metal stand of mistakes over
the first two days of us doing the show. I'm
gonna award the bronze medalist first because of that. One
goes to me because I have been doing this for
twenty years. And I allowed the Bear to speak into
a microphone and sound the way he sounded yesterday, and

(22:43):
I did not cut him off, and I did not
get him.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
I just froze. I just sat there and I let
him do it.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
And here's the sound from yesterday's show, the Bear speaking
anything but.

Speaker 13 (22:52):
English whatever kind of doing the line day to replace
Carson at the Miami quarterback. Will a guy Arkell Bell?
Will he go to the NFL?

Speaker 10 (23:06):
When?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Will he stay? Yep?

Speaker 6 (23:11):
Wait, wait a second, is the soundover? We made people
listen to that?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (23:17):
And then stuke God says yep at the end, as
if he understood every word of it.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Yes, yeap is he? He also has to follow up questions.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Two of them two, not one, but two. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
This is all after not really introducing Chris Filika or
who he works for?

Speaker 6 (23:34):
Yeah, who the heck he is?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
No, no, no, we were fine for the first couple of
minutes people knew and then he started speaking like this.
But I've been doing this for twenty years, and again
I know better, and I know to tell Taylor, mute him,
get him off, like Chris, let's reconnect.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Let's uh, let's.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Shut it down and come back, but just get off
the radio because you sound awful.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Let's hear it one more time.

Speaker 13 (23:53):
Me not being professional, pure whatever, so kind of redween
the line, kind of like a documents to place Carson
at the quarterback? Will kill Bell?

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Will he go to the NFL?

Speaker 13 (24:07):
Will he stay?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Yep? Yep?

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Got all of it?

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Yep. Makes you wonder what he's thinking.

Speaker 8 (24:14):
When he really can hear the guests.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, So since we promised to peel the curtain
back and be transparent on this show, guys, can I
tell you what I was thinking.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
I didn't know if I was the only one hearing
it in the way I was hearing it.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I thought the audience was fine because we can't communicate
around here.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
You didn't see the completely panicked look on my face, like,
what is happening? Everybody in their car right now? Who's listening?
You know, twelve of you.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
We're trying to figure out if it was their fault?

Speaker 8 (24:41):
But what do you think about ruben Bain?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
He sounded great with that answer, though, I mean he
did all right.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
So that is our bronze medalist, Yes, that is yes,
Oh no, there are two better than that the competition.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Let's go back to yesterday again for our silver medalist. Hear,
and this was after the Bear came on and did that.
It's not Bear's fault, by the way, that is on me,
and only on me. I am driving this show, and
I have been doing this for twenty years, and I
know better.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
But again my excuses. I thought the audience was hearing
something different than I.

Speaker 7 (25:17):
Was I thought here hereted five stars and you can
even provide a review again. Just search Stu Gotson Company
Live and be sure to also check out our original
podcast st.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
Gots and Company and God Bless football.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
All right, thank you to uh what Mike Golic for
joining us, Gino Toretta Hero.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
We're hearing that. Yes, it is going to join us
coming up in about fifteen minutes. I don't know who.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Is making that sound and what is going on, but
could someone stop and just turn it off before I
start yelling at this entire organization. I mean, my god,
it's hard enough to do a live radio show. Then
they have to deal with this and tell me it's
not Mike. It better not be mikey A on the phone,
I mean, what.

Speaker 8 (26:04):
Is happening here?

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Unbelieved?

Speaker 8 (26:07):
I'm not doing anything.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
I didn't say it was you, right, well, I did
say it was you and and and by the way,
so mikey A is upset. And again, guys in La,
we love you, we don't care. We make mistakes. We
all make mistakes. Mikey wanted me to introduce that first
before you played it, because I did it.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
And so that was yesterday with a large clanging sound
after after.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
Making mistakes on the segment where we're pointing out the mermaid.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Yes, yes, well yes, when I do a metal stand tomorrow,
all from today's show. That's going to be the gold
medal game. So that was Mikeye. It was a clanging
sound that happened after the bear happened. Okay, And that's
on me. It's it's not on anyone else.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
And So I don't mind this stuff. I'm okay with it.
I don't mind being uncomfortable, even on live radio and
over two hundred plus markets and on the internet everywhere, okay,
across the globe. I don't mind. I don't mind sinking
into it. I don't mind making fun of us. But
the stacking, the stacking is kind of where I get
a little upset because it's one thing after the next.

(27:14):
And that's why I lashed out yesterday. Mikey A said
that wasn't him. He went out of his way to
say that wasn't him.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
I'm not doing anything. I didn't say it was you. Yes,
I was told it was you. I thought it was you,
but I was told it was you. Mikey Yeah, yes
or no.

Speaker 12 (27:36):
I don't know who told you I have backup that.
Our producer, Jason out in La said he looked at
me when he was hearing the noise and he said,
you weren't doing anything right.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Well, you left an open mic and your computer was on. So,
I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I'm
not blaming you.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
Again.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
All right, And here's our right now, guys, wait for
me to introduce this. Okay, here is the gold medalist. Okay,
congratulations to him. This is going back to day one
on Monday because we're in nineteen different rooms. He's nervous,
he's a little bit excited. He's talking really really fast. Uh,
here is Taylor from Monday. And I asked Jake Tepper,

(28:21):
who's a big Philadelphia fan, his Mount Rushmore of Philly
sports guys, and Nick Foles was on it.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Carson Wentz was not. I think that's your answer.

Speaker 8 (28:30):
Okay, did you see on social media Nick Foles tweeted
the Broncos and he said, hey, guys, I know you
guys are going through it right now, but if there's
any team that struggles to beat recently placed backup quarterbacks, right,
it's a Denver Broncos. Yeah, I mean it's the New
England Patriots.

Speaker 9 (28:45):
Yes there, yeah, a little bit a couple of them,
at least he did second on MLK Day.

Speaker 6 (29:01):
Can we hear that again, because.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Well, hold on, hold on, is he I think there's
a shorter version of that. So I think that's what
you want. You just want to hear tailor Is that fair? Well?

Speaker 7 (29:09):
I just I just want to hear it's back to back, right,
But it's kind of jarring when you hear black out
of nowhere, and then he follows that up with naming
the wrong team, which throws everything off.

Speaker 8 (29:24):
Recently placed black backup quarterbacks Broncos. Yes, I mean it's
a new Patriots.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Yes, he landed it so well. It's like it's like
landing a plane, like right before a speed bump. Oh wow,
what a nice smooth landing.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Oh crap. He took it home with him too, he
was upset. I talked to him after the show.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
Not only did I take it home with me, it's
still on me. It's still weighing heavily on me. Can't
get it out of my head right now?

Speaker 4 (29:58):
All right, Well, here have some more playing again, guys.

Speaker 8 (30:01):
Black back up Recently placed black backup quarterbacks Denver Broncos.
I mean it's the New Patriots.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yes, Why am I say?

Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (30:13):
Neither of which, by the way, the Denver Broncos or
the New England Patriots have a black backup quarterback.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
My god, it's.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
Okay, Taylor, you were talking fashy, misspoke. Congratulations on your
gold medal.

Speaker 6 (30:29):
I will say Taylor is excellent at correcting himself. He
was calm, it was like poetry.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
It was collected.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Then he got the right team on the second try.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
It was humblievable. We couldn't do this if we scripted it,
it'd be impossible. I need to hear one more time.

Speaker 8 (30:48):
Recently placed black backup quarterbacks Denver Broncos. I mean it's
the New England Patriots.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
Yes it was, it's the Denver Broncos. I mean it's
the New England Patriots. Then, just so good.

Speaker 8 (31:03):
I knew I messed that up before I even finish
the sentence. And that's how quickly you can hear the correction.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yes, and as you get ready to retire, Rack, we're
going to communicate on the air here, okay, because I
want to hear one more time. This is me and
Taylor doing a duet. This is us singing together. Go
ahead one more time.

Speaker 8 (31:18):
Recently placed backup quarterbacks. Right, it's a Denver Broncos. Yes,
I mean it's the new Yes there.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:26):
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
shipped fast and freeback by free road hazard protection, with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
Com the way tire buying should be.

national show.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
And of course God bless football as well. This has
been a fun show today.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
We took some calls, is he We made fun of
ourselves and we're trying to solve your smoking habit. But
Taylor is all over the place today with Bell and
Jerry's in a new room. He's in the VIP room.
He's got a control room all to himself. He's very excited.
I'm not even certain if he's still here paying attention.
So this might be a good spot for you if

(32:53):
you want to to introduce us and the audience to
the NBA, because you've been trying to do this the
entire thingy thank you.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
A second hold on, a second hold on? Here, come on,
it's football season.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
I mean that's what I said. But I didn't know
if you were here or not.

Speaker 6 (33:09):
I mean, really, you just set me up for that.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
I didn't set you up for anything. I want to
talk NBA with you.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Okay, okay, all right, but listen, I gotta trust the kid, Okay,
the kid who is still he as a kid. He's
thirty one years old and I call him a kid.
I gotta trust the guy who was paying attention to
sports the way I did twenty years ago. Okay, And
so he knows what people want to talk about, and
I have to follow up wherever he goes. And so
I'm sorry he is he will play your NBA game

(33:38):
tomorrow because it appears that Taylor has a different game.

Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yes, I do have a game. It's Start Bench Cut
Rivalry Edition.

Speaker 6 (33:46):
Oh wow wow.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
So Start Bench or Cut. This has never been done
in sports radio history. No one has ever done anything
like this.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
This is Start Bench or Cut. Is that fair?

Speaker 8 (33:57):
Correct? So the first pair is Baker Mayfield Kevin Stefanski
rivalry that we that we just got today. The next
one is Robert Salah and Liam Khane, who had that
famous brush up where Liam Cohne said keep my name
out of your mouth, keep my name out of your
bleeping mouth, and then Sala said, I was trying to

(34:18):
compliment you. I will bleep your world up. You don't
want bleep with me, I will bleep and your bleeping life.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
And Sala's right, I mean he is. He's just telling
the truth because he'll do that to you. He will. Okay,
what's the other one?

Speaker 8 (34:30):
Then the final one is Ben Johnson and Matt lafleurter, Wow,
this one's tough.

Speaker 7 (34:37):
So the Ben Johnson Matt Lafleur one I love because
it's just right in front of your face, Like Ben
Johnson isn't even like relying on lip readers. He's doing
the fly by a handsake and say, I hate those
dudes he's taking off his Sure.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Ah, that was a good That's a good little rivalry,
but it's very one sided because I'm not certain Lafleur
knows he's in some sort of rivalry with Ben Johnson.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
I mean it is funny.

Speaker 7 (34:59):
Will Flirt continue to go to that mid midfield meeting
a handshake every time he plays?

Speaker 6 (35:06):
Or is he gonna just get caught everything?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Ah?

Speaker 6 (35:07):
I got me again.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
The Fleur is a gentleman and he will be there
to shake someone's hand after a game.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
So that's a good one.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
But I do think that the one you have to
start here is the one where someone threatens to kill
the other coach. When you've got Robert Salas saying I
will end your bleeping life, I'm like, you know what,
It sounds like an exaggeration, but I've seen enough documentaries
over the last five years to think.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
That might actually happen.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
If there's a coach that would actually say I'm going
to end your life, mean it and can actually do it,
it's Robert Salah.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
Robert Salad's on the metal stand. Dan Campbell might be
up there.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
See.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
I think he's a puppy, Dan Campbell. I think you know,
he's big, he's menacing, but I think he's a very
nice guy. I think Robert Salah would absolutely destroy.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
You if he had to.

Speaker 6 (35:54):
Yes, a puppy who goes after kneecaps.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Yeah, Brabel, Brabel, certain.

Speaker 7 (36:03):
Mayfield, Stefanski. I feel like is the easy cut here.
It's the newest one. There's not really threats, there's not
really any sort of physical exchange between the two. It's
a new rival. I mean, I guess it's not a
new rivalry in terms of the division, but it's not
the best of rival.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
And it's the NFC South. Let's be out and no
one cares.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
I mean, yeah, yes, so I think we're So it's
just a decide whether we're starting Sala and Cohen.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
Or Johnson and Lafle.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Just as an aside, how does Todd Bowle still have
a job the fire coordinator after coordinator, he's safe.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
It's unbelievable. I am with you.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I am benching the newest one. I'm benching Baker. Okay,
I'm starting Salah.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
I mean come on, I mean you've.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
Got to, especially with my Cohen low key? Is it
Cone Cohen? Is it duvall?

Speaker 7 (36:54):
He is like if you really just keep sort of
chipping away at him, and I think you're gonna unco
of her kind of a.

Speaker 6 (37:01):
Low key like a hole. Can I say that you
just did?

Speaker 4 (37:07):
Was it dumped?

Speaker 3 (37:08):
No? No?

Speaker 4 (37:09):
I think I'm okay, no pun in done?

Speaker 6 (37:13):
Yeah, no, I get.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Is he I wrote down I will you don't want
to bleep with me? I will bleep in your bleep
in life. And even when I was reading that, I
was getting scared. Well my scar from.

Speaker 7 (37:30):
Monday, because I saw the quote and it said I
was trying to compliment your ass, and you're like, well,
wait a second, I don't.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
I don't even know if I can spell it.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
On the air. And I think you went with behind
and that, my friend is radio.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
What a terrible time did misspeak? It's a black up
quarterback on MLK Day.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
It's the dev Broncos, I mean the New England Patriots.
It was such a calm correction. Do we have it
ready yet?

Speaker 8 (37:58):
It was because I knew I was drowning.

Speaker 7 (38:00):
Yeah, But it's like, as he's saying the like, play
it one more time before we go, Because as he's
saying Denver Broncos, he's so calm.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
That struggles to beat recently placed back backup quarterbacks. N yeah,
I mean it's the New England Patriots.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
Yea tongue there, Yeah, a little bit
