(00:22):
out of you hit on this briefly, There's been a
lot of reports about Raiders wide receiver Davonte Adams getting
traded and getting traded specifically to the Jets to link
up with Aaron Rodgers yet again. So you go all
the way back to February. NFL Networks Ian Rappaport he
(00:44):
reported that Aaron Rodgers was recruiting Davonte Adams. Earlier this
week on Monday, you had Boomerisyasin of Wfan. He said
a deal might happen before the twenty twenty four season
kicks off. So DeVante Agent's they got involved here and
they released a statement to ESPN's Adam Schefter and that
(01:07):
statement reads, this is baseless, unfounded speculation and DeVante is
expected to be with the Raiders as there has been
absolutely no trade talk period is what the agents say.
So they push back in a major, major way here, Eddie.
So let me ask you this is this just a
(01:28):
juicy rumor. We're trying to connect the Dots, Rogers, Lincoln
back up with Devonte Adams and that's all it is.
You expect Davonte and silver and black all season or
for him to be on the move. What do you
think is going to happen this year?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Well, I personally, I hope he's on the move because,
being a Freso State fan, I root for my fellow
Bulldogs and would like to see him in a better position.
Plus it would help me and my wife wouldn't trash
him anymore because she hates the Raiders as a Charger fan.
I don't know why the Raiders would want to get
rid of him. I mean, he's one of the you
(02:03):
know these the best offensive weapon they have, So why
would you Why would you want to get rid of him?
I can understand why the Jets would want to get him.
Like I said, I'd like to see it happen. Do
I think it's going to happen? Probably not.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, I think the chances are better than not that
it doesn't happen that DeVante goes to the Jets. I
hope it does, just for the drama of it. This
was dan Orlovski on Get Up on Tuesday, Eddie. He
was talking about this and he made a prediction. Check
it out.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Yeah, I think Devontae Adams plays for the Jets this season.
The reason why I say that is this. Have you
watched Netflix The Receiver y Have you seen it? Have
you seen the frustration from DeVonta Adams. If you're the Jets,
why would you not? You have to make this work
if you don't win the Super Bowl. This is going
to be one of the more disappointing acquisitions and runs
(02:55):
and wasted talented teams that we've seen in the NFL
in many years.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I think this is a done deal.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
At some point, DeVante Adams plays for the Jets this season.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, it's a done deal. Davante going to gain Green.
I don't know you could say it's a done deal.
Maybe it happens, but certainly not. Now. This was we
played a little bit of this, but we were up
against it. At the end of an hour. We couldn't
react to it, Eddie. Last night, this was Davante Adams
on this Netflix show. Have you seen any of this receiver?
(03:24):
I saw the first episode. That's all I've been able
to check out. But very well done. Davante's there. Have
you seen this yet, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I've heard the audio, but I have not watched the show.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Oh man, this audio is tremendous. This is Davante Adams
not exactly thrilled with how things are going with the Raiders,
and in particular about midway through, Jimmy Garoppolo overthrew him
against the Lions when he was wide open, and Davante
acted like I do when I lose one of my bets.
(03:54):
You know, it's not pretty. Here's Davante my life.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I never made this many times in my careers.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Every game I get.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Into the deep territory looking for Adams that he fished it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
He was all alone.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
Now will be as open as Davonte is going to
be in his life.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
But man, yeah, uh, A little frustrated right there, Eddie,
I get it right. It's kind of crazy. If you
look at his numbers. I looked at it before the show, Eddie,
(04:38):
if you ballparked it so the first year he had
Derek Carr, but last year, if you don't have his
numbers memorized, and I certainly didn't. What would your ballpark
it right now? I wouldn't know. I'm I've got the
answers here. I'm like the late great Alex Trebek. I
would not know. But if you ballparked DeVante with the
quarterbacks he had last and what would you guess his catches,
(05:03):
yards and touchdowns look like? Just take a random guess,
no judgment here.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh lord, how many yards he had? How many catches
he had?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yep, catches yards, touchdowns?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'll go, I don't know, eighty catches. Uh, well, I'm
sure he had over a thousand yards. I'll say a
thousand yards.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay, how many touchdowns? You think?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Ten?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Okay, not bad? In the ballpark he had one hundred
and three catches for eleven hundred and forty four yards
and eight touchdowns. So I think you're close on pretty
much everything. The one was like, wow, he still got
to over one hundred catches with those quarterbacks, with Jimmy
g overthrowing him with a rookie and Aidan O'Connell, he
(05:57):
still had one hundred and three catches.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well yeah, kind of no one else to throw at you.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, a little bit. I don't know what happened to
Hunter renfro. He had a great year a couple of
years ago, and it's like they didn't even really look
his way. They have Michael Mayer, the young guy, young
tight end, but Davante is still he's still one of
the top receivers and he's just being wasted without them
having a real quarterback in Las Vegas. But he's still
(06:26):
putting up numbers that year with Derek carr Eddy his
first year in Vegas, one hundred catches over fifteen hundred
yards and fourteen touchdowns. Like he's put up numbers even
in Vegas with the Raiders. It's just the team hasn't
won that much and you sort of overlook what he's
(06:46):
doing individually. This was something else that I found interesting.
Warren Sharp, right, he's all over football, makes all these observations.
He tweeted this Eddie. He wrote, Davante Adams was targeted
twenty six times on deep balls of twenty plus yards
last year. Okay, he had zero drops on twenty six targets,
(07:07):
but he caught only four of twenty six. That's because
nearly sixty percent of the targets were inaccurate the most
of any receiver in twenty twenty three or twenty two,
or twenty one or twenty twenty, he wrote, poor guy
is just doing cardio. Yeah, it's like I can't get
(07:28):
him the ball and he's still putting up numbers. I
would love to see him with an actual quarterback. I
really would. And even as a Finns fan, i'd be
lying to if I said it'd be more interesting with
Devonte in New York with Aaron Rodgers, right, It's way
more interesting there than him sitting there with the Raiders.
I hope they move him. I hope he ends up
(07:49):
there or somewhere else, doesn't have to be the Jets.
I just don't want him there on the Raiders this year.
He's too good to be wasted like that.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well, you are proving your statement when you said you're
more of an NFL fan than a Dolphins fan, because
I can guarantee you I would not want to see
him on another team in the in the AFC North
against my Steelers, So I guess you're you're a man
of your word there, But yeah, I know it would
definitely make things more interesting if he was in New York.
I just I still don't think it's going to happen. Yeah, though,
(08:18):
I will say this about the SoundBite you played, Okay,
I mean it's it's interesting. I get why people are
reacting to it, But does I mean that's what wide
receivers do that on every game?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I was open, you didn't fall. I mean always, uh,
if you're not getting touchdown cadges, they're always unhappy and
they're always complaining and bitching about it. So that's nothing
new at all. It's not like that SoundBite with some
sort of a revelation.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, it's valid. Yeah, if you miked up most of
the receivers in the NFL, if you miked up Eagles
receiver A J. Brown. Remember he had a lot of
hissy fits on the sideline for the Eagles and had
a great beginning of the season. But how many weeks
did we talk about AJ Brown just kind of self
destructing because they're not getting him the football. If they
(09:08):
were micd up footage of AJ Brown, it'd be like, oh, gosh,
he needs to get out of Philly right away. You know,
he's just upset in the moment. So that's a good point.
That's a good point. I put it this way, right,
if my team is in the playoffs, I want them
to win, obviously above anybody else, even if it would
be a sexier matchup, Right, But if my team isn't
(09:32):
in the playoffs or get bounced from the playoffs, I'm
as excited about the playoffs as I would be if
my team were there. That might sound like a crazy statement,
but I don't lose any steam, I'll put it that way. Right,
Like the Dolphins lost to the Chiefs in the wild
card round, I wasn't like my team's out. What do
I care?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Do you go? Are you different than that, Eddie? Are
you still as fired up? You lose some steam if
your Steelers are bounced?
Speaker 7 (10:01):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, I would agree with that. I mean, playoff football
is still playoff football. Playoff anything is still you know.
I mean yeah, And even like I'm not a huge
huge baseball fan because my team is not that great,
but I do enjoy playoff baseball. I mean I will watch,
you know, whatever the games are in the postseason. In baseball,
(10:22):
I'm probably not gonna watch there's some big regular season
matchup if I don't have a rooting interest. But yeah, no,
I'm you know, even if the Steelers you know, are
out earlier, don't make the playoffs, I'm still in on
the NFL playoffs for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, and the regular season too, man Like if my
Fins have a down year, I don't care in terms
of the rest of the league, right, it doesn't. If
it's Thursday night and it's like the Panthers and the
Titans there, I will watch that freaking game from beginning
to end. I don't care. I'm crazy like that with
the NFL. So that's where I say I might need
(10:56):
a meeting or something. But yeah, I think I'm a
bigger NFL fan than I am a fan of my team,
and I love my team. So I don't know if
people agree with that or not if they're the same way,
but that's how I am. All right, we got we
got the militia to get on in here. We'll do
that right around the corner eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. If you're on Hold's Day there, we will
(11:17):
get to you. Also, this Eddie's gonna stick with something
near and dear to you your heart, and I'll lay
out some thoughts. Am I being a jerk for having
the stance or is it fair well, we'll get to
that momentarily. Here hang with us. He's Eddie Garcia. I'm

Speaker 1 (13:02):
No, you don't want to throw a story at you.
Hear real fast, Eddie, and then we'll get to the
militia here in just a few minutes. But I'm sure
you saw this as a Fresno State guy right where
the head coach, Jeff Jeff Tedford had to step down.
He announced that he was going to step down due
to health concerns. I announced this on Monday, which, hey man,
(13:24):
it sucks, like I hate that any health related issue
would cause him to have to step down. I know
he loves coaching, so that part of it is just torrible.
That is what it is. And I hope that he
is healthy and I hope that he can enjoy life
and doesn't miss football too much and all that good stuff.
(13:44):
I really do hope that. But Eddie, you tell me
if this is unfair or if there's a legitimate point here.
Jeff Tedford has had a lot of health issues over
the years, and we're in mid July right now, and
he's stepping down and the linebackers coach Tim Skipper is
(14:05):
taking over as the interim guy. It's a month and
a half away. Their season begins on August thirty first
at Michigan, the defending champs. You know what I mean? Like,
I hate that he had to step down. I'm sure
he tried to wait and wait and didn't want to
do that and just had to. That's fine, But with
a guy, for a guy that's had health issues before,
(14:29):
we couldn't have figured this out a couple of months
ago and have the Bulldogs in a better position to
ramp up for the season.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Is that unfair? Because I don't think it is. I
that's how I look at this. How do you look
at it? Well?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I agree with you that the timing stinks, and they
just hired a new ad so now that person has
got to you know, have this put in his lap
as he's just getting used to, you know, a new job.
So that makes it tough as well. But look, I
don't know the details of it. I mean, your health.
He has to take precedence over everything else. If he
could have, if he could have timed it better, I'm
(15:05):
sure he would have. So again I don't, like I said,
I don't know the details of it. Yeah, the timing
does stink, but you know, if he tried, maybe he
got some sort of diagnosis that he wasn't expecting and
after you know, going in to get something checked out,
and they said, hey, you're risking your your health by
coaching and you need to stop. So I mean, I'm
(15:26):
fine with it. I'll go for it, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah. It's so he missed the ball game last season, yes,
for health reasons, and so that's where I'm like, Okay,
if he missed that game and there was at least
a chance it wasn't going to work out this season,
it'd be better if we came to that decision before
It's mid July, right like, And he had a recent checkup,
(15:52):
and so he announced on Monday he was stepping down,
and the other health issues throughout his coaching career. A
couple of them. He was with Fresno State the first
go round from twenty seventeen to nineteen, and he had
to step aside for health reasons.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Well, let's hope Fresno State's is good with their hire
as they were then when they got Kaylin de boor
now at Alabama. Is still it's still crazy for me
to think that the former coach of my school is
now at Alabama.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That is wild. And look at what he did with Washington.
You know he's in the title game and now at Bama.
That's wild. But and this was also I wasn't aware
of this. This goes back to twenty twelve. He was
fired from cal Jeff Tedford. He was hired by Lovey
Smith to be the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
(16:42):
but he had heart surgery and he never That was
just before the regular season. He never returned to his
full time position. So he's had these issues before, like
heart surgery, had to step aside from Fresno State before
missed the team's bowl game last sea isn't why is
this decision happening in mid July that it reminds me
(17:05):
of Andrew Luck. I had no problem with Andrew Luck retiring.
He's a walking medicine cabinet. I get that. But Eddie,
it was two weeks before the season. You couldn't have
figured that out beforehand.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I have a hard time comparing this to Andrew Luck.
This we're talking about a coach who has heart problems
and he's being told by his doctors to not distress.
Is something that might kill you?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
That's fine?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh no, I'm not saying my position.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Luck could have kept playing. He wasn't about to. He
wasn't risky.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Is it's about time?
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You know his life by quarterbacking.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
The comparison is timing, that's all. I'm not saying, Hey, Tedford,
suck it up. It's just a heart I'm not saying
that at all. It's like you've had all these health
related issues. Why the hell is this decision being made
in mid July when we're on.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The doorstep, because that's when the doctors told him. You know, hey,
you're trying to, you know, to coach through this, but
we're advising you now that you shouldn't do this. I mean,
don't you think you think he was just waiting around?
You got like the doctors told him three months ago,
but he decided to just do it now.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I mean, I would imagine this a little bit dangerous
because I'm speculating here. I don't have any inside information,
but I would guess this makes sense to me. Is
that Listen, he wants to coach football. I can totally
understand that he's competitive, he loves the game, all of that.
And so like, you're not going to think, all right,
(18:35):
it's I don't know, it's it's April, right, there's a
chance that I might not be able to coach this season.
Let's figure this out right now. I think your brain
wants to believe, hey, I'm gonna be okay, I can
do it this season. You're gonna think that way. I
understand that, But that's more about you than it is
(18:55):
the university and the football team. And I think you
got to be honest with your and say, hey, if
there's a chance that I'm not going to be able
to coach this season, I'm not going to be cleared.
We need to be as proactive about this as possible
so they're not behind when they're ramping up for the season, right.
And so I think that's how it went down. But
(19:18):
I think that puts Fresno State in a really tough spot.
And I would say that for any university. I would
say that for Notre Dame. It doesn't even matter. It's like,
if you've had all these health issues, I don't know
why we're doing this in mid July. That's my only thing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah. Well, like I said, I will agree with you
that the timing stinks. But if you're asking me, do
I have any hard feelings or am I upset with
Jeff Tedford, the answer is no. He was forty five
and twenty two and in five years he won three
conference championships. So I'm just fine with the job he did.
I wish him well and we'll move on.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah. Hey, and I would hate for him to try
to cut his way through it, and you know he
has a health episode or you know what I mean, Like,
I don't want him to do that. I definitely don't
want I would much prefer that he walked away. I'd
prefer that Andrew Luck walked away if he thought, look, man,
(20:15):
my quality of life is definitely being affected here. I
have no issue with him retiring in general, but two
weeks before the season with Andrew Luck. That's where I'm like, bro,
what the hell is that? Like? If you're walking away,
you gotta walk away well beforehand where the Colts are
not absolutely screwed that that was my hole. So it's
(20:37):
just the timing that's the comparison for me, is the
timing of Tedford and Luck. That makes sense to me.
But you could look at the differences. I just look
at the timing where it's like, if you got to
step aside, you got to give the team as much,
you know, as much of a runway as possible to
ramp up.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven Pacific.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
So Brown, I see things from time to time and
they catch my eye and I add them at the
end of my my updates here and this one caught
my eye. And we have a big following on Wfan
there in the Twin Cities.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And I saw that defensive bag Bobby Bryant is going
to be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor. And
I like to think I am pretty knowledgeable about the NFL.
And I think when you talk about a guy going
into the Ring of Honor even if you're not a
Vikings fan and be like, oh, yeah, I remember that guy.
Now he played a while ago, But I'd never heard
of this guy, and it's kind of a generic name,
(21:35):
I guess, But so I decided I wanted to educate
myself on Bobby Bryant. He played from the Vikings from
nineteen sixty eight to nineteen eighty. He recorded fifty one
career interceptions. Wow And in twenty ten, on the fiftieth
anniversary of the Minnesota Vikings, he was named one of
(21:55):
the fifty greatest Greatest Vikings. So apparently he was somebody
that fell into my blind spot even though I'd not
heard of him. But Bobby Bryant, there you go, one
of the greatest Minnesota Vikings and is going to the
Ring of Honor for Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Man's this year. I'll be honest with you too, Eddie.
That was certainly in my blind spot as well. Fifty
one interceptions, it's a lot in an NFL career.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Think we got overshadowed by Paul Krause a little bit.
You remember Paul Krause.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, My question would be why now, if his last
year was in nineteen eighty, why is it twenty twenty
four when he's just getting in right now, you know
what I mean. I don't think that very much.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, there's plenty of examples of that, and I will
agree with you. I do always think what took so long?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, it would make sense if it's like nineteen ninety
or ninety five or so not that far removed. But
we're so far removed where you and I, Eddie, we've
been watching football for a long long time. And yeah, yeah,
it's like the girl who sang the anthem the other night.
You know, I'm like, oh, shoot, just aware now, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Especially when they do it after they die. It's like, right,
you had so long to do. Let the guy enjoy
it while he's alive. Unfortunately he is still alive, so
he will be able to participate in the event. Bobby Bryant.
But yeah, that one's that one always bugs me. It's like,
why did you wait till after they passed away? If
you were YEA gonna do this?
Speaker 6 (23:27):
That?
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It is kind of odd for sure. Hey. Fox Sports

And have you gone to Pittsburgh yet? You haven't gone
to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
R Pittsburgh. Yeah, because I didn't have very many left
because I've already been in like six of them this year.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah. He's having a summer tour of all the ballparks.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Okay, all right, I'm jealous about the Oakland thing. Eddie.
We talked about this. We got to get up Yeah,
we got to get up there and experience this. It's
our last chance. We're talking about like day Gabe against
the Rockies, where there's six thousand people there. We got
to make it.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I've been there for an ayame. I'm good. Well it
was a while ago. I was in college, but I
have no desire to go back. But I hope you
have a good time, Sean.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yeah, Brian, Yeah, you know how you said earlier you
were like betting the college hoops or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
When you do it, do you do what I do?
Like you go on the like fan duel or hard
rock bets, and then you go on the sports books
and you bet that way.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I mean, yeah, it's you just bet online, you know,
for your sports book of choice, that sort of thing.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Yeah, it's not legal in California, but I'm pretty sure
it's legal up where you're adding.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, and there are ways around it in California,
you know, got to go off shore. You can still
get it done though.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
I think in California that they do the thing with
the fantasy lineups or something like that. But I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, yeah, you can do a little bit. Why you
think about betting when you're at the A's game, is
that what this is about.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
I can't do that legally over at the bet before
I leave, though.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
There you go, There you go. There's a work around. Sean.
Hey man, we hope you have a good time. Appreciate
you checking in for sure. There he is Sean. Yeah,
you haven't been big into sports betting yet, have you, Eddie?
Is this a California thing or just you.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Know it's I gave up fantasy sports boy. Probably boy,
it's been a while, probably fifteen years ago. It was
just making it not fun for me. I know that's
people will say it does the opposite. It makes them
interested in in games and players that they normally wouldn't
be interested in, and that's and I that's fine. But
(27:41):
for me it started to get not fun when I
was rooting for some guy who was playing against my team. Again,
I just like, you know what, what am I doing?
This sucks? I don't like this.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah, So I gave it up. And it's the same
thing with gambling. I'm not saying I'd never do it.
And when I've gone to Vegas, I'll do a little,
you know, just for fun. Yeah, but it's not it's
not something I'm really into. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
I was the same way with fantasy football.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
It is.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It's a lot of fun. Until time to be honest
with you. Yeah, but there are drawbacks where you're rooting
against your favorite team, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
No, you never do that, though, Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
It happens all the time, Coop. Don't give me that.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
No, yeah, I am giving you that. There's multiple there's
multiple things here. First of all, I never root against
my team, that's all.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
But I would root for a guy on the other team,
and I didn't like the way that felt.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
No, look, if I have, if I happen to have
a player on the other team, I'm still rooting for
my team to succeed. If they don't succeed, and it's
because my player did something great, then it's kind of
like a you know, a little bit of a it
softens the blow of the loss of my team.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Okay, but you've never had a situation, Coop, where you've
got some receiver from another team they're playing the Broncos
and it's a close game. There's never been a situation
in your head where you're like, I kind of need
my receiver to score right here. You know, you're you're
hoping for that. You're just Broncos through And yes, absolutely not.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I would never if it's a close game, and I'm
in a close matchup. I would rather lose my fantasy
matchup than the Broncos lose. Absolutely, It's just it's seventy
five bucks for the This happens too though, right, Eddie,
you've dealt with this, Coop, I know you have.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I'm sure you've had a Broncos player from time to time.
Let's say you've got a receiver, but it's another receiver
who scores. Instead of being like all right, Broncos, you're like, man,
I wish it was my fantasy receiver that scored instead,
you know what I mean? Like that happens all the
time too.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
Sure, but it doesn't like it doesn't you know? Diminish
my you know joy for.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
The I don't believe you at all.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
It absolutely minutes a dozen you you need to watch
football game with me.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
If the Broncos are scoring, I am happy and even
even if it's not my player.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Well, and if the Broncos aren't in the playoffs, we'd
be skiing at that point right where when NFL playoff
games are going on.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
A decade ago, let it go.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, Eddie, Coops, Broncos got bouts and he's skiing instead
of watching playoff games. What's up with that?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yeah? What you go? I mean it was a weekend.
I only have a couple of days off of work.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, but during football season you don't plan anything.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
That's when there's snow on the mountains regardless.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
So there's no more snow after the Super Bowl in February.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Sure there is, Sure there is. Yeah, but look that's.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
What That's what it is, Eddie. Six night from here.
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
They've got the game on at the at like on
you know, at the mountain in the lodge, like you
can can watch the game and go on runs.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'll tell you what though, Eddie. If you're ever wondering,
like what injury a player has, just ask someone who
plays fantasy football. I mean, this is a compliment. They
are aware of every freaking injury, you know, in their
timetable too, where it's like, hey, is what's up with
Devontae Adams, Oh it's a shin injury? Two to four weeks?
(31:34):
They know everything.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I always go to fantasy football players for my injury updates. There.
We got a lot to do eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. We'll work in more of the militia
work them in here. I'm doing a bad job working
in more of the militia. So we will rectify that.
And I've got to get to the food conversation very
briefly as well. We'll do that. He's Eddie Garcia. I'm Brian.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, Eddie, are you an uncrustables guy?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Well, I'd have to say no on that. I have
tried them before.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I do have a story to share.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
If we have time, I would love to hear this story.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
All right, So you know, we have a kitchen here
at the Fox Sports Radio studios, and there's a fridge
and people put stuff in it, and sometimes it's in
there for a very long time. Sometimes things are in
there and there.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
He took one of the encrustables.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I did. It had been in there for a really
long time.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
I thought I thought of taking it many times, and
then I thought, I was like, well, what if they're
just replacing it every day and I think it's there
for a long time.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, And I assumed Coop that you know, it was
in a refrigerator and that these things are so full
of preservatives that it would still be okay. Oh no,
it was not okay.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
They need to stay frozen until they are ready to.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Be eaten it.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
I took one bite and then I was like, oh,
you know, just spit it out. And that was that.
And those things stayed in They were in there for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
But I'm taking it. You were an Uncrustable's veteran by then, right,
This wasn't your first go around.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I think I had tried them once. I can't remember
the circumstances, but yeah, they're okay. I mean it. It's
kind of a you know, a lazy man's snack. I
guess I assume a child, you know, for your child, right.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (34:08):
I like to call it convenience because I liked that
they're single packaged.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
I take them to Disney too.
Speaker 10 (34:14):
I'll throw them in my bag for the day, you know,
I'll take a couple of the honey ones, and you.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Know it's so good, honey ones.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Huh, honey and peanut butter.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
I didn't even realize this was like a peanut butter
and jelly sort of sandwich on the go. I've never
had this. I'm not against them. I've seen them many times.
I didn't even know it was a PEB and J
sort of thing.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
What did you think?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I was gonna say, what did you think it was?
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I thought it was more of kind of like a
like a pie, almost like a cherry pie and apple pie.
Speaker 9 (34:44):
Like that idea.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
I thought it was more like that. Yeah, that's what
I thought. It was more like a circular pie type.
I didn't know it was peeb and J.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
When did you have this revelation and how did it
come up?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
When Loraina talked about it off the air a little bit,
earlier today. Yeah, and I was like, oh, shoot, it's
PEB and J. I don't even realize.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Are you now going to go out and purchase this.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I'll give it a shot. I feel it's necessary. I
at least try it.
Speaker 9 (35:10):
I saw a hack online.
Speaker 10 (35:11):
If you want to try a hack after you have
the original, Okay, you have an air fryer, yes, okay,
So you're going to take your own crustable and you're
going to defrost it how you're supposed to write, and
then you take melted butter and you put it all
on the outside and you throw it in your toaster
oven and it is so good.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
I'm not against doing that. I do have to say, Eddie,
Lorena's PB and J her whole operation over there. I
don't know what's going on.
Speaker 9 (35:46):
Don't come at me, Brian, it has to be said, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 9 (35:51):
Well, let's ask Eddie. Eddie, how do you make your
pbn j's.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh we've had this discussion before, zsychotic as well, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
I got shut down on this, Yeah, because I don't
put the peanut butter on one side of the bread and
then the jelly on the other side. So that's the
way Look, that's the way I've always made it. I
didn't know I was doing something wrong.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
And Rain is the same way.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Once.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, she goes peanut butter one side and then je
jelly on top of it. Yeah, and then you just
put the other slice on top, just like all right,
and you gotta.
Speaker 10 (36:25):
Mix it together though, like you make a wave of
the jelly and the peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
I feel good now that Lorrain is on my side.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
How do you do it, Coop? How do you get down?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah, the normal person way of peanut butter on one slice,
jelly on the other slice, and you put them together exactly.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You guys are astounding to me.
Speaker 9 (36:46):
Let me make it like this for you. Maybe you'll
get it this way.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (36:50):
You don't ever introduce your peanut butter to your jelly
before they meet all of a sudden.
Speaker 9 (36:54):
You just have matrimony in the middle, and you expect
them to get along.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
What do you mean the way me and Adie does it,
they really get to know each other.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
No, No, there's no getting to It's just harder to
spread the jelly your jam. It's like this.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
I think it's actually easier because the peanut butter is
a smoother surface than the bread.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
But you're you're contaminating.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
M I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
You're sticking the shurty peanut butter knife into the jelly
your jam. You got peanut butter all over that thing
towards the end.
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Half and half, but then you're getting peanut butter in
the jelly jar.
Speaker 10 (37:42):
Yes, and Brian, you know how you said you you
wipe the knife on one side. Imagine if both your
peanut butter and your jelly are on one so you
have a whole clean one to do all your knife work,
and then you smack that on top.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Because you just you wipe the knife off on the
other side of the bread.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Here's what you do every now and then you overestimate
a little too much jam or jelly little too much.
It's got to go right back.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
In right exactly What.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Do you do if you're on the peanut butter side.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I don't. I don't overestimate. I always I'm perfect.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You light it up perfectly every time. Huh, Okay, hey,
you're better. Jemmy sandwiches all right, coming up next. This
is one of the greatest responses of all time.
