Speaker 2 (00:24):
All Right, coming to the heart of north central Oklahoma
and coming to your live from the tireight dot Com studios.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Tyright dot com.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well we get there, unmatched election fast, free shipping, Free
road has protection over ten thousand recommended sellars tyrit dot com.
This's the way tire buying should be. That is really weird.
Do you know when sometimes you I'm I've been good.
I've been good about this whole thing. You know, I haven't.

(00:56):
I haven't sleeping a ton, but I don't sleep a
ton anyway, But I've been good Like I was. Just
my son Hayes is with me. We went and got him.
He actually needed some underwear.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Because he's he's an idiot.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I was like, dude, what's taking you so long to
get ready for shooter. He's like, Dad, I didn't pack
any underwear, Like what anyway, He's like, so, how you
feeling You're nervous? And I was like, no, I'm good.
He's like I was like, I'm all the things and excited.
But I will tell you the second I heard Dan
and the Dan Nuts and I realized where I am

(01:33):
that it did hit me like this is real. And
people ask all the time, like why why do you
do what you do? Oftentimes they ask me in a
sarcastic because I will say and do things that aren't
always maybe appropriator at the time timely, but why do this?
And the answer, honestly is today. And here's what I mean.

(02:01):
I'm from Orange, California. I went to tust In High School.
There's no honest connection with this part of the world.
I grew up, believe it or not, as an Oklahoma
football fan. I used to love the Wishbone Jamil Holloway, right,
I used to love the bas Like who didn't like
the bos? And everybody didn't here by the way, they
didn't like, No, they did. Everybody loved the bass.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
The truth is that prior to probably the last ten
to fifteen years, Oklahoma State football fans were also Ou
football fans really unless you went to school here in
your hardcore and the culture that Mike Gundy obviously, this
is a tough years created has changed things to where
there's now it literally is a divided state. It wasn't previously.

(02:43):
It wasn't basketball, it wasn't in football because it's hammer
and the nail. They won ninety percent of the games.
It's really hard to be an Okaha State football fan
for a long time. But the point is there's a
sign that I have. Uh it's still packed away in
a box in Green Bay, and it says it all

(03:05):
started in still Water. And I've had times in my
life where I've been a little broken and I pulled
in here and nobody judged me. You know, nobody judged me,
damn it. And I still remember the day and it's

(03:27):
interesting and it's all kind of coming. Like I said
this earlier today, that my gift is my curse is
that I have an incredible memory. You know you have
that you have that for sports, which is remarkable. Dan
and I always call on it because you're like our
personal like encyclopedia, Like oh no, no, that was October sixteenth,
nineteen sixty six, and here's what.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Happened to you.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
UNI was like, oh my god, Dan, stop, but I
have these My my brain is flush with these vivid memories.
And in uh, when I came here to go to
school in August of nineteen ninety seven, I went to
Lake Havasuit with my friend Nick Nick Maruzzo's Nick played
basketball at UC San Diego. And it's basically twenty four

(04:11):
to twenty five hours from Orange County to still Water,
and so it's five hours out to have a suit.
So I had like a twenty hour trip. So I
planted out like all right, I'm gonna jet ski water
ski for a couple of days, and then I'm gonna
head out and I'm gonna stop like in I don't know,
it's like Albuquerque, and then stop in Amreillo one night,
and then I'll come here and I'll be your Sunday
and then Sunday we had a team meeting and then
Monday school starts. And I was so excited, just like

(04:35):
I am now that I drove straight through. I pulled off,
pull off the road and slept for a couple hours
in in my Chevy Blazer. I am also still wanted
by the law in one of the Native American lands.
This is a real story. I got pulled over and
the guy's like, well, you know, it's like a one
hundred dollars speeding ticket. And I was like okay. He's like, well,

(04:57):
this is on the I say it's the Navajo Land.
And I was like, oh, well, what happens if I
don't pay it? Like, well, then you're wanted. I was like,
in America, it's like no on Navajo Land. So I
if I ever get pulled out on Navajo Land, just
know I got thrown in the clink for something, you know,
twenty seven years ago. Anyway, So I pulled off the
road in northwest Oklahoma City. There's the I forty four

(05:22):
I forty four kind of byset or kind of cuts
through the northern part of Oklahoma City, and there's a
couple of bigger buildings there. But I had knew nothing
about Oklahoma. So I called my mom collect and I said,
she's like, what's it like. I was like, I think
I'm in downtown Oklahoma City and there's two buildings. And
then I called Mary Lee Draper, who's the longtime secretary

(05:44):
for Eddie Sutton, and she gave me direction to try
to get the still water. It's pretty simple, right, get
out I thirty five North, get off on fifty one.
There you are. You know, turn left on the Hall
of Fame and you'll run into Gallagher. So I pulled
off into Gallagher and you know, it's August and Oklahoma,
it's a hundred eighty degrees. And I went upstairs to
Coach's office, which is on the second floor of the

(06:06):
old Gallagher, and he was like, what are you doing here?
I was like, Coach, I'm so excited. I got here
on It's like a Friday, early afternoon. So what should
I do because none of the players were there, and
I could just check into my room, but I didn't
have anything. He said, well, you usually go down to
Joe's and get yourself so meat and then go over
to the football game, the high school football game. Bunch

(06:28):
of people from the department are going down there. So
I came to Joe's. I sat by myself up there
and I took it all in, and then I went
to the high school football game and I met Matt Holliday,
who we all had dinner with last night. He's become
a lifelong friend. Most of you guys know, I got
divorced a couple of years ago, and I have my

(06:50):
first day with my wife right there. I mean, my
life started right here. So I tell people all the
time that I wake up daily with true gratitude. But
I don't even express how much this place means to me.

(07:10):
And what I want for my kids, and by kids,
I mean my players is they won't all get that.
But man if I can have one or two have
the experience that I had and the life that I've
lived because of the three years that I played basketball
where an Oklahoma state across my chest, then I have won.

(07:33):
You know, as what as we were like, we get so.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Screwed up in sports.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And it's the thing about NIL and the transfer portal,
and we have kids everywhere, and everybody comes from somewhere else.
And I mean this when I say it. My goal
is to have those guys have what I have. You know, Tonight,
Desert Mason, Brian Mott, Naughty, Rodney Seueter will walk on,

(07:58):
my former roommate Alex Weber, Andre Williams, They're all going
to be here now. Maybe part of it is none
of them have gotten a real job and moved away.
But the truth is that's my family and it all
started INSTI the water, Oklahoma. So I'm a competitive dude.

(08:20):
I want my team to win. I think we're fully
capable of winning. More than anything, I really want them
to represent themselves, our school, our program, and me personally
the right way. I just wanted to play hard and
play right and play for each other, because that's it. Like,
we didn't go to a Final four here. We didn't

(08:40):
win a Big twelve. We could have won the Big Twelve.
We choked and lost to Oklahoma in the last game.
The old Gallagher, right. I lost in the Big twelve
championship game my junior year to Kansas, and we scored
like thirty five points because we were exhausted, but we didn't.
There's lots of things we didn't do, but you know
we did do. We won, and we won because those
are my best friends on earth. Those are people that

(09:03):
I would lay down on train tracks for. This is
a school that changed my life, and that's what college
athletics is supposed to be about, not about all this
other crap. And I don't mean to go too far
Afield because tomorrow is a very consequential day in American
history with our election. But it's the same thing. It's like,

(09:25):
we got to get back to what it's about. It's
not about all that other stuff. You know, who we
elect isn't about all this. It's like who do you
trust to make really good decisions? Who do you trust,
regardless with you agree or disagree with like some of
their politics. I just so much of this gets caught
up in money and glamour and fame and the little

(09:47):
things that are like sugar that take us to these
highs and fill us a dopamine and then we drop off.
I'm telling you college athletics, Look, it's hard. Ara Alma
Mater stinks this year. You know they're a preseason top
fifteen team. I love my school. Mike gun He's been
the greatest coach in the history of Oklahoma State. It's
not even close. Like if people understood you guys went

(10:08):
to the game Saturday night, if people understood how bad
it was at the old Lewis Field. Okay, there were
steel girders that were rusting. They called it. Everybody else
called it the Rustolium Bowl. It was a joke. Okay,
we were a joke of a football program. Like the
only thing our football team was known for was on
their bye week they would have the best parties, right,
and they would usually get into a fight with the

(10:29):
guys from Langston the first weekend of school. Like that's
all anybody knew what football guys from. Like we went
to the Alimo Bowl my first year, and you would
have thought they went to the super Bowl. And then
they stumped the next couple of years, and Mike came
in in his first year, he got rid of all
the nuisance and they won three games, and then after
that it's been a rocket ship. But again, like we
get caught up in what it's not about. And it's

(10:52):
not that you don't want to win, Please don't mistaken
that about it. Like I'm I'm so competitive that it
if we lose tonight, it will and then I'm still
worried about Like Friday, we play Saint Thomas, who's a
really well coached team. Like the level of stress and
anxiety I actually like and I enjoy, but also part
of it is because I want to win. You know,

(11:13):
when you do broadcasting, get done doing a game, you
click off, did we win?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Did we lose?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I can think I did a great job. But if
I boss thinks I didn't like, it doesn't matter. Right.
We have a scoreboard for a reason. But when I
see that sign, it all started in still Water and
I was so good with the emotions, you know, so good,
And then it just we clicked on and I heard
the thing from Dan, and I just I started thinking

(11:38):
about all the nights we'd play a game, we'd win,
We'd come down here, we'd watch Sports Ere they crank
it up and there would be a highlight. I'd throw
an alley up to Mason and Mason would dunk it right,
and like we would stay up all hours the night
just to watch ourselves on a Sports Center highlight that
Dan Patrick would call. It wasn't about hey, can I

(11:58):
get five hundred thousand dollars in nil? You know? And
if not, I'm going to leave the school. And the
truth of it is, I have a home, I have
a life, I have people Like the real reason I
wanted to play this game is all these things that
I've talked about. My kids will see the game, my
friends will see the game. But there's people that have

(12:20):
supported me to have this job as a head coach,
like there was a big move bring Doug home. I'd
never coached a day in my life at the college level.
Right at that level, it would have been seen as
an obscene risk. And yet every time it's come open,
people have supported me. Why because I'm an Oklahoma stake guy.
Because we take care of our own and that's what
it's supposed to be about. And I just hope that

(12:45):
in twenty years, Preston Murderger, Marcus Hall, Foster, Wonders, Mac
Recky one or all of those guys show up at
the other guy's game and have a beer afterwards and
talk about how he used to be. And you know,
we get far afield from what everything is about. And

(13:05):
I'm telling you my college experience at Oklahoma State was
about the right stuff and it's what I want my
team to ultimately succeed in life at. And oh yeah,
by the way, we want to win a game. So anyway, God,
that was a lot, Holy col can we go to break?

I just saw on Twitter that Oklahoma Stake point out

maybe was in question to some of youple because of
the storms that came through. I point out to several
people today that so you guys are getting the whole,
like the real Oklahoma trip, right, You got like tornado
watch tornado warnings, you got a football game, you got

(14:51):
a basketball game, you had a home cook meal, you
got to come to Eskimo Joe's. Do we miss anything?

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Oh you know what we missed?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I do know something you missed, but go ahea.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
So Dan and I were traveling through town yesterday and
it was a time when the sun was coming through
the cloud.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
So there was an amazing rainbow.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:07):
And then there's a great, aesthetically beautiful Catholic church you
probably know the name of it, in the middle of town,
and the rainbow was coming down and the sun was
coming up. We had to pull aside and take pictures,
and we got some amazing pictures.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
What was the part you missed?

Speaker 5 (15:24):
You see?

Speaker 2 (15:24):
You know what we missed.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
I was gonna say, we didn't tell you that you
missed it. Oh, I tell you what you missed.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Oh I missed golfing or being able to play golf.
There's great courses here.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
We got Carson Creek that's being down outside of town.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yeah, the weather, Mother Nature did not allow that.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Mother nature is like no golf for you, although you
could have done the the Caddyshack thing. I had the
good lord, but never just served the daut of my life.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
I also wanted to go up to where Pioneer Woman lives,
you know, up in Pasca.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, but because of the weather, it's like, what ninety minutes,
so the map said, sure, so to go there to go.
It just didn't work out today because of the weather.
But maybe on my next trip.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I didn't see I mean, I don't think there was
some tornado damage down in Oklahoma City. Wasn't there? Because
what you really need is the post tornado interviews. Those
are great. I just I'll just leave it at that,
you know, just that the interviews of people that saw
a tornado are always interesting ones. It's like, there's no
way that is that. That's not that person's not acting

(16:24):
like they're not in fact acting So we'll get to
the game I think upcoming like fifteen minutes, you guys
can quiz me. We can talk about about the game.
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:34):
In the meantime, let's do we do every Monday. Let's
celebrate the weekend by telling you what we love and
what we hated from the weekend?

Speaker 5 (16:41):
What did you love?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
God?

Speaker 7 (16:42):
I love you and what did you hate these player
hay is bomb bub bum bu bumb boom.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Okay, Jay Stu, I I hope you understand that you
pretty much hate everything. You are a walking You're very
very cynical, matter of fact, very true. He had to
kind of like face the fire last night with Matt
Holliday because Matt was so fired up by his Twitter
where you called Mookie Bets a choker.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
That he was like really excited that Jay stew was
coming in.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Athletes don't like that word. I've noticed that it takes
somebody like me, just some some content you like that.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
Do you like that word? It was like, Jay Su,
you choked. I just said you're a choker.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I choked.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
I would say I would say it if I did it.
You know when it applause, I think it's but when
you say around athletes, they really kind of cringe.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think you said around a guy who's amazing and
he probably did the sample sized thing right, Sample sized
things small, sample size. All right, let's get to what
Dan Byer love from the weekend.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Denny, I have loved a lot from this weekend. But
last night was really cool at the at the Holidays
to see Hayes do the back flip in the pool.
That was that was really cool. See how your team
got together and your different families as we have the
pH family shirts that you will see on social media.
But it was a neat getting together of all of
these branches of your life. And so that was really

(18:14):
really cool last night. Plus his place is freaking awesome.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I mean, I get you need to get to see
like they were all like well because the fishermander is
like there's actually a retention pond whatever right there. You
just can't see and you didn't see the pick a
ball court inside or the hitting and oh no when we.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Were leaving, like I kind of want to go and
see this WOLB ball field should have I know, I
just didn't feel it was our place. He had it
lit up for a reason.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Yes, yeah, yeah, impressive.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah that's great. Maybe some other time I away say
I'm something you love for the weekend.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
All right, I will say this, guys. I a big
fan of the way Iowa played Wisconsin three hundred and
twenty nine rushing yards forty two to ten win for
the for the Iowhawkeyes over Wisconsin's the Heartland Trophy game.
And listen this game, this result really left Wisconsin coach
Luke Fickle shook. Take a listen to this sound real quick.

Speaker 9 (19:06):
This was something that the kind of your worst nightmare,
and it just kind of be overtaken and manhandled and dominated,
especially in the second half, when.

Speaker 8 (19:16):
You get a coach to say something like that that
you got dominated and manhandled and overtaken. That you know
that the guys up front and are moving dudes around.
That was nice to see. It was the biggest I
think I maybe have repeated this the biggest blowout in
the series since the nineteen sixties.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
It sound like we got that audio from the nineteen
sixties what spelled.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Oh, it's gonna give credit to Sam for throwing quality
production into the ink.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Well done, Sam, going the extra mile.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I appreciated good win. It was a good one for Iowa.
Jase too.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
And by the way, like Wisconsin Crime a River, their
defense Saturday resembled Oklahoma States defense well just about every
weekend this year. All right, what do you got there?

Speaker 5 (19:59):
Okay, So.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
The first thing that I loved from the weekend was
my first trip to Boom Pickens. Okay, but I think
what just overtook it was the Foul Things sandwich that
I just had at Eskimo Joe. I drafted it in
the second round of our draft on Thursday. It lived
up to the hype, and the cheese fries lived up
to the hype.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
So credit to.

Speaker 6 (20:21):
Eskimo Joe's and thanks for having us. The food and
the experience lived up to all the hype. So back
to Boom Pickens. Dan and I got there late first quarter.
You were nice enough to get us tickets. I could
not believe how close we were to the actual players.
You were on top of the players.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
I've never experienced that we were closer to the Arizona
State offense than Oklahoma State's defense.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Was good point, Sorry, got.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Well, it's we're good.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah, we're good.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
There's no there's just we're good. It'd be a lot
funnier if it wasn't true.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
You know it was.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
But as Dan indicated earlier, everybody is an Orange in black,
and you know you come from Los Angeles, and isn't
that passion or that love for the college teams. I
went to a commuter school in Orange County. As you know,
I just I've never experienced anything like that. So walking
into Boone Pickens for the first time and seeing how
everyone reacts. We had a little weather delay, which was

(21:21):
kind of an annoyance, but I love the experience.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
It was amazing.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
What that love from the weekend? Man? What have I
not loved for this weekend?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'll just be honest.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I have a funny one spent time my son Hayes,
and he's a precocious fifteen year old and he is
very much conflicted as to whether or not he shaves.
He's got the little little little stash going kind of thing,
and he, I mean, he's he was. I told him, like, dude,

(21:53):
don't shave, because once you shaved once, like you just
never stop shaving.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
I think that's a wives tale?

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (21:57):
Yeah? I think that's a wives tale? No, I'm serious,
what is it? Google?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
I know I thought that when I was in middle school.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
Everyone thought of it. I don't think it's been debunked.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
I thought, if I shaved my eighth grade cookie Duster
mustag that's what he's got that two weeks later, I'd
be Tom Sullick Show eighth grade. That's what I was
afraid of so in my class pictures you see like, yeah,
so I totally get it. So, but is that is
that a wife's tale? Yeah, totally it is. So I
can let him shave it.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, Oh we're doing that after the show. I gotta
get I can't have that for the game. You gotta
like that's a big thing.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
You gotta have your neck.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Cleaned up, right, you mean on TV you got your
neck cleaned up, But you gotta gotta I'm not gonna
shave I like to. But he's but just watching him
like pick out little hairs and having this discussion with
it is the literally hysterical. And but the best part
is like he is, he just is. Pete Carill is
a longtime famous coach at Princeton and he would call

(22:46):
people like my son light bulbs.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
He lights up every room. And that's what he did.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
And last night for on a twenty dollars bet, he
did a backflip off a fifteen foot from one level
to the pool to the other. And then you know,
of course he said they made me do it, Like,
what are you talking about, dude? You get twenty bucks,
which he immediately wanted to go spend it a convenience
start for candy. So, I mean, he just makes me
smile kind of candy. I didn't let him go. Oh okay,

(23:15):
it's like, did we just got done with like a
beautiful dinner? They had desserts there. I'm not taking you
to gas station get nerds so you can get yeah,
so you can get something that's terrible for you.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
All right, let's go to the other side of the aisle.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Let's uh, let's let our inner anger, our inner hate
come out and find out what we hated from the weekend.
A resident hater is no other than Jason Stewart. Jay
stew what's what bugged you from the weekend?

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Jason Kelsey was at a location you guys could help
me out.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Of Penn State, Penn State at the Penn State game.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
All I know is that he was carrying a case
of beer, and he was carrying a canna beer on
the same hand, which is really impressive.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Cannabier on the same hand with a case.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Of beer, probably yingling. And then and that part of
the it looks like it.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
It looks like it.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
And again, you guys probably have better details than me.
I just saw the video eight thousand times on my timeline.
It looked like some fan would not let him go,
followed him with a phone, was saying something really weak
smack by the way, something about your brother is beeping
with Taylor Swift. And what happened. Kelsey grabs a phone

(24:24):
and slams the phone down. I saw some other video
on TMZ where Kelsey's on the ground. I don't know
what's going on there, but anyways, what annoys me about it,
what I hate about it is that people fans are
so embolden nowadays. We saw it with the Yankee game
last week, the two fans trying to yank the ball
out of Mooki Bets's hand. There's something has to be

(24:45):
done because we're going in the wrong direction. Something very
dangerous is going to happen. It's almost like inevitable at
this point. I don't know how you legislate against it,
or I don't know how you enforce it, but just
like incidents like that where you have a guy on
camera doing something to provoke a very angry, big person,

(25:06):
that's a very dangerous situation.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I personally like the phone spike.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Oh we loved it.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, I thought that was awesome. You just didn't like
the guy.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
They're like there that generation is so I honestly think
it's the barstoolization of the sports fan. Like again, and
I know I think Big Cat is a is a
friend of mine.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
I know some of those guys.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
But the general theme of the lowest common denominator having
a voice and it being okay to just say crazy
nasty things to somebody who you really should just go like,
hey man.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
You're awesome. That's it, You're awesome. I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I hate it too, but I love the phone spiked.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
We've gotten word it was garage, beer bo Benzon our garage.
The pre catar back home says, because you brothers have
invested in that company to get what it was. I
got a two for two for one year. I won't
bore you with how bad the Seahawks were, but it
obviously was the worst part of my weekend. Ginosmith sex
seven times, turning it over, not getting the fourth and one,

(26:14):
not getting third and one in overtime, just letting a
game go to the Los Angeles Rams stunk. But was
also stunk is when I almost got Jason and myself
killed because I almost looked down.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
The way on High Higway fifty one.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yeah, it wasn't well Litz, it was nighttime. The median
I even looked at it today, was higher than the road,
and I thought I was turning the right way and
I wasn't. And we were already late from the turn,
and we got We only got honked at like three times.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I would have really been bad.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, would not have been good. But going down the
wrong way on fifty one here ending in the still water, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Especially as the football game had just ended. Yes, every
and everybody was not happy. They spent a whole homecoming
weekend and they had a rain delay. Yeah, and so
they're going about twenty miles an hour faster than the
should have been going. Yeah, that could have been bad.
That's a bad way to go.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Was not good. There's good ways to go. That's not
one of them.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
Well, Dan's not so well versed in movies. But if
you're going, you're wrong. Friends and automobiles. A race?

Speaker 3 (27:14):
What a race? I couldn't see the lane on the
other side because the median was too high and there
were cones laid out, so I thought I had to
go around the cones like they were dividing the road,
and so when I turned and then there were it
was barricaded off.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Plane, trains and automobiles. Where he goes, I slip my hands,
attend these pillows. Those aren't pillows. John can't late, great John, Candy.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
That's all right. I haven't seen the movie, and I
know what you're talking about. That's what I hated, Sammy.

Speaker 8 (27:40):
I can't say I'm a fan of the time change
right now.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
And you know, I know, Dan, you like it.

Speaker 8 (27:45):
We're back on the old standard time.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I don't like it. I just like get s daylight
and standard gotcha, I got you. When it's lighter later, yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
And so even with the time change for the next
six weeks, it'll still be getting darker earlier and earlier
each day for a little while now. So I'm not
a fan of that. It's it's weird the first night,
especially when you know, it just feels so much later
than it actually is, so it takes a little adjustment.
I'm not a fan of that. It was nice that
it got light out though pretty early in the morning.
Get up the sun shining, so.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
When you are like I think I could go to
bed and Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune hasn't even come
on or ended. It's like six forty. Yeah, that stinks.

Speaker 8 (28:23):
Takes a little adjustment. Yeah, not a fan.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Uh uh. I guess I gotta do what I hated
in the weekend. I get I had to come up
with with some some form of like hatred when I've
had a prey damn good weekend so far and I'm
trying to have a really good Monday. Uh Okay. I
hated that how the Packers played this weekend, just they

(28:49):
were not really competitive with the Detroit Lions. And again,
there's always a selfish element to this, right, I'll just
be just being fully candid. I want to see an
NFC Championship game in the snow in lambeau Field while
I live in Green Bay, and there's a very very
very likely chance that doesn't happen this year. Yeah, probably

(29:11):
not right, Just that's what happens when you lose that game.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
So again, and it's purely selfish, like I want to
see that game.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
It's all about.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
It.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
It's what I hated for the weekend, right is what's
the name of the showld Just tell me what's the
name of show, Doug Gottlieb.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
I just want to make sure it's the Dog Gottlieb show.
There we go sports radio.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
So yes, wait, wait is about me?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Enough about me, Let's have somebody else talk about me.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I did get to see an NFC championship game in
the snow in nineteen ninety six. Packers take down the Panthers.
Go to Super Bowl thirty one.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Kerry Collins yep, Harry Collins, Dorsey Levins the game, yep,
Dorsey Levins had like the gigantic shoulder pads, Like what
size shoulder pats are those that you you're wearing?

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Like what gigantic human is wearing?

Speaker 5 (30:03):
That?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
There was that FARV guy in that Reggie White fellow
too that. Yeah, but he was pretty good. Reggie White
very good. I have a quick story. So we always
played music when warm it up and whatever. So I
was playing al Green for the guys the other day.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
And I said, stay together, Let's stay together?

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Was yeah, yeah, very nice. Always has a theme, you know,
it's about togetherness. And so I was like, you guys
like the reverend and they were like that's his nicknames,
Like no, he's actually.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
A reverend, Like who is this. You don't know who
Al Green is. Did you hear what the lady at
the car rental said to me on Saturday?

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Did you hear that about Al Green? No?

Speaker 3 (30:42):
She goes because my cold, she goes, You sound like
Berry White.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yeah. I was like, thank you, this isn't gonna last.
This is like Phoebe on fire.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
I can't have That's exactly Smelly Cat when she got sick. Right, Yeah,
but sounded so good that on the end of the show,
and that is love.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
But I knew there was no chance he heard it.
But I was just hoping that maybe ever hear Maybe.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I totally heard her say that. I wasn't in the car,
but I heard. That's eleven eight Rapid Radio students to

Speaker 2 (31:44):
We are live at Eskimo Joe's, which is right on
Elm Street, roughly a four minute walk from Gallagher. I
arena depends on how brisk you walking out of You're
a fast walker or you sasche or your saunter or
your slow walker. However you walk, I can't tell you that.

(32:09):
As we get ready for my maiden voyage. As being
a head coach at Green Bay, I would say if
I did about an estimate, I would say seven times
I was kicked out of practice in three years. So
the progression was Coach Hutton. You weren't allowed to curse
in practice. Coach Hutton never cursed ever, and he could
make you feel like you're this tall and you never cursed.

(32:31):
I do not have that ability to not curse. But
there were several times in which I got kicked out
of practice and I I like, we'd like throw a
sweatshirt on and walk down here, and settle off at
dead bar and watch some football and cool off.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
What are you doing to get kicked out? What specific
things are you I mean?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
I mean we got no we got to get talking
about or getting the fights? Are we getting fights? So interesting?

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Now?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
How guys like don't fight? Like we had two guys
almost square off and then I went and grabbed one
of my kids. It's like, what are you doing? He's like, coach,
I can't punch him as my teammate. He's like, so
I was like, why not? Like I gotta fights all
of my teammates right, Like you're around each other all
the time, and then you know, when you lose a game,
it's always you always take out all your frustration with

(33:20):
the coaches. I think the difference is we hated our coaches,
we respected them, and we did not like them. Uh
but it worked because it made us kind of closer,
closer as a unit.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I think my guys genuinely like me.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
I don't really care. I want them to respect me
one like me. But uh yeah, it was just yeah,
so fighting because usually if you curse, you had to
go walk, you had to go do the steps code
you go count those steps. I know how many there are.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Which as you're telling me, that's no longer you can't
do that anymore.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
You can still do it. Oh, you can still punish
your players with conditioning. I thought you said you can't
do that anymore.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
No, what I found, what I heard it is Nancia
rule is you can't have a workout that's specifically designed
as punishment. If it's within the scope of practice and
you have running, you can do it.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Okay, I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
You want to know the story. I did not violate
and say a rule because I made sure. So I
have two players who have had this punishment. I was
the first player and we did Okaha state it's called
five and five five miles five at the morning, five
in the morning. And so I had a player who
he was on a short session summer class. We were

(34:34):
a week and a half into it, and he had
yet to download the syllabus or the books, and you know,
all the professors can track that stuff, and so he
had an f work in and then when he tried
to get ahold of professor, the Professor's like, dude, you
haven't even download the book, right. So I call him
in and I was like, what are you doing and
we are like that my job. I have been told

(34:56):
that my job is to they are not to fall
below the level academically. That is more important than wins
and loses losses is what we do academic, Okay.

Speaker 3 (35:06):
So I called him in and I was just like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 5 (35:10):
Well?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
You know, I email the press like, no, no, dude,
if you don't download the book, don't download the syllabus.
You're basically saying, you know, to the professor, that's what
you're saying, right, yes, saying I don't care. And I
was like, I'm gonna make you care. And by the way,
if I let you get away with it, then they're

(35:32):
all going to get away with it.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
So I said, be here.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Tomorrow at five in the morning. You can bring your
running shoes. And what we do is what we did
at Oklahoma State was you get in a van at
the training room and they'd set the odometer on a
van and you drive five miles outside of town and
you'd stop the van. You'd turn around, they turn on
the lights and they follow you. Hope I live and
I hope they don't hear this. I live two point
two miles from our gym so it's really four point

(35:59):
four miles whatever, it's five in the morning. I don't
want to run four point four miles. I know they don't.
So the assistant every coach is assigned to a group
of players in terms of their academics, their personal life,
everything to stay on top of them, all right. So
the assistant coach who's in charge of this particular player
had to call his folks and say, like, he's not
doing it, he's academically. So I got a call from

(36:22):
our compliance officer and she said, hey, you cannot there's
an NCAA rule. You cannot have a workout specifically for
discipline that is against the NCAA rule. I was like,
are you telling me I can't run my two players?
It's like, I'm not telling you that, and I'm not.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
I just I want you to know.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
I said, well, here's the thing. In the summer, we
get four hours to work with them. You get four
hours per week. You can do it one day, one day,
you can do a four hour workout, you can do
however you want. You get four hours. So that particular
week we had only gone three hours because we had
like a team bonding event thing and we didn't count
that as because it wasn't basketball hours. So I said, like, look,

(37:00):
he's still within the four hour window, and this is
a workout. This is actually a strength, speed and strength
conditioning workout, and he hasn't fulfilled his hours for that either.
So I mean, she looked it up and she's like, okay,
but there is actually a rule that I can't have
a workout specifically designed for discipline.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (37:18):
So what I do is I take up, I get
a bottle water, and I put it on my mailbox
and they start at the gym and they run to
my house and they can have a water at the mailbox,
and they turn around, they run back and I just
my dog actually happened to have to go out to
go to the bathroom, and I was.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
Like, hey man, so he got done.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
And then I when I was at practice after practice,
I that day I called in a couple of guys. Coach,
we don't know what he did, but he said, he's
never going to do it again, So we're not going
to do anything again. So I've had zero people not
download books, not do what they're supposed to do academically
since so it anyway, that's where it works, It does works,
it does work. I think it's time for a little game.

(37:59):
We call ask the coach, right, can we do my
update first?

Speaker 5 (38:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Okay, let's see the update. Let's get an update from
Dan Bayer.

Speaker 8 (38:05):
Dan.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Sorry, I don't ask for much, but I do. On
all Let's get Dennis Allens out of a job. Saints
head coach fired today after a two and seven start
to the season. Those last seven all Els went eighteen
and twenty five during his two and a half seasons
in the Bayou. Never made the playoffs in the two
full seasons that he that he finished. Cowboys quarterback Dak
Prescott expected to miss multiple weeks of action after straining

(38:26):
his hamstring and yesterday's lost to Atlanta. We know he's
going to miss Week ten against Philadelphia. Ceedee Lamb has
a chance to play against the Eagles coming up in
Week ten as a sprained ac joints in his shoulder.
Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught a touchdown and yesterday's
win against Dallas, but then I had to leave with
a hip injury. He's considered day to day. Eagles wide
receiver aj Brown day today with a knee injury. Daniel

(38:48):
Jones still the starting quarterback of the New York Giants,
Brian Dables sticking with him as they traveled to Germany
to face the Panthers coming up on Sunday. Niners running
back Christian McCaffrey could make his season debut against the
Buccaneers on Sunday. He was practicing today, trying to return
from that achilles issue that's cost him the first nine
weeks of this season. Buccaneers and Chiefs play tonight the NFL.

(39:09):
By the way, you ready for this Bengals Chargers Sunday
Night football in week eleven?

Speaker 2 (39:15):
There we go flex flex Colts.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Jets moving to one o'clock Eastern time? Can I well,
can we keep them music going?

Speaker 2 (39:23):
I just want to point this out because we were
all watching games yesterday at at Wild Wings, right Yepp,
do you know how refreshing is to be a Charger
fan and have a competent coach And honestly, they got
nothing out of his last play the first half. But
even the play where they're throwing the ball around, trying
to move it down the field with no time in
the clock. The fact that the end of when they

(39:46):
just decided to eat the football and not even that
showed me that they were a disciplined team, that they
had a plan in place. It's the weirdest thing, ever,
when you're a Charger fan to be like, oh my gosh,
we actually have a good football coach.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
College basketball season is here tonight at Gallagher IBA Arena,
just a couple of blocks away, Doug Gottlieb will be
making his debut as the coach of the Green Bay Phoenix,
taking on his alma mater of Oklahoma State. Tip time
nine Eastern eighth.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Central Central Standard or Central Central Standard time.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah, very good, guys. I appreciate that one of a
bunch of games tonight, Number one Kansas takes on Howard
Maine in the Cooper Flag Bowl takes on number seven Duke,
and in the women's game, number five UCLA on top
of number seventeen Louisville sixty one fifty one, three minutes
to go in that contest.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Doug Stanmdbyer, Doug Gottlieb, Chow Fox, Borys Tredio. Now let's
play a little game. We call ast the coach.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
Right as the talk, there's a question the needs an answer,
and the answer is, if only there was someone with
the authority and the wisdom to give us that answer.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
No, I'm the head coach. I get to set the
schedule called on.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Let's ask the coach.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
All right, who's got first question?

Speaker 5 (41:07):
I got dips?

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (41:09):
So uh tonight, yes, as we as we go over
to watch you, coach, I want to know two players
on Oklahoma State that scare you most and why who
are they?

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Okay, UH scare me most?

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Okay? I would say the first one wud be Bryce Thompson.
Bryce Thompson is a fifth year senior who's McDonald's All
American and he started his career at Kansas. This is
fourth year at Oklahoma State.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
UH.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
He had five threes five May threes in the UH
in their scrimmage against SMU, and just we don't we
have one guy who's that experience but not necessarily at
this level, and like, look, this is Bryce's last go round.
So that guy obviously is the guy where we're paying
attention to. And the other one is their new point
guard who's Arturo Dean who transferred in from Florida International.

(42:00):
He led the country and steals last year. He's just
a dynamic defensive player. He is uber quick, uh, and
the way they play, they want to push the ball
down to the court and they want to pressure you defensively.
So we need to be cautious of our turo Dean
because they are a kind of a defensive oriented club
and a transition oriented club, and he starts both of
those things with his defense and with his speed offensively.

(42:24):
All right, question for me, Doug or hold on? We
got to get that little though.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
Hold On, hold on?

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Where's that?

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Hold on?

Speaker 5 (42:30):
Hold on?

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Let's ask the coach there we go.

Speaker 5 (42:32):
Hold on, right, hold on?

Speaker 3 (42:33):
How many games do you think it'll take for you
to get your first technical?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
I'd be really surprised if I get a technical foul.
Really yeah, I'll be really surprised. I mean, like, look,
i've seen.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
You during a you know, like if we don't get
something right on the commercial break sometime and you're in
a mood.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I understand, but like it not often. But I also
know I also know that they're very well. They'll be
very likely that some of the officials will have an
opinion of me before they ever meet me. And so
I just I mean, I just think it's ah, how many.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Games it would be a non conference, it'll.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Be non conference. If I get one, nah, probably nine conference.
But honestly, like it's just I think it diverts your
focus so much. I think it's I'm better off having
a conversation with those guys, and you know, I think
their thing is now the one thing is they it's
the Shaka Smart rule where they're very, very cautious of

(43:35):
anybody going on to the court.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
And I'm pretty good with the coaching box.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I don't run up and down the sidelines, but there
are times in which I get But I'm so used
to coaching AAU basketball. Here's where I'm telling you it
prepares me for this one. There's no chance any of
these men or women who are going to officiate our
games are anywhere near as bad as they are in
AU basketball. Right, Like, look, if you're refing a twelve
you game at eight in the more, you're probably not

(44:01):
particularly good, right and it's the last place you want
to be, and you're probably not very big out. And
how much is that referee making probably anybody now twenty
twenty five a game?

Speaker 5 (44:10):
Really?

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (44:11):
Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Yeah. So the other part too, it is with AU basketball,
all these facilities now have six nine courts. There's a
very limited sideline there, so you have to and I
have been guilty of being on the court and coaching
my team. There's a much deeper sideline in college sidelines
if you're in your coaching box. So I don't think
that I'll violate that, but if it happens, it will
probably happen that non conference I would say the over

(44:34):
under is ten games.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Okay, all right, ten games.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
I want to know unless you've got something hold on.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
We have to have the hold on, hold on, hold
on at the edge, yes, the coach, hold on, hold on, Sam,
you got one or no?

Speaker 6 (44:51):
Okay, Now tonight I need to know two of your
players that everybody here that's going to the game should
look out for. Two players that are fun to watch, dynamic,
that are going to jump out of the jump.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Jump out of the gym.

Speaker 6 (45:05):
Actually, you know those are the stream you're right, yeah, yeah,
I'm not talking about athletic. Just give me two players
that we should be most excited to see on your
team tonight. What number I'm going to test you on this?
Do you know their numbers?

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Okay, I don't know. You got your own roster somewhere, No,
I have this guy, all right, go ahead, talk about it.
I'm going to get the number H.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I mean, I think the first one that you'd want
to pay attention to. And he's a freshman. It's his
first college basketball game. Is Jeremiah Johnson. Jeremia Johnson is
from Oklahoma City. He played last year with Overtime Elite.
There's actually a documentary about Overtime Elite, but about him.
He was shot after his sophomore season and they thought
he would walk again. He lost forty five to fifty
pounds and he's worked his way all the way back

(45:50):
and he was actually signed to play here last year.
He was gonna play. He'd be a freshman lesster for
Mike Boyton, and then when the coaching change was made,
he decommitted, then he recommitted, and then he decommitted. Now
he plays for me. Jeremia Johnson's tremendous player. He's I
think he's number three. I believe he's number three. He's
a combo guard, he kind of a lead guard, scoring

(46:12):
point guard.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Number three, And this is gonna be a great test
for him because he's playing against much older, more experienced players.
But he's a very good what's called downhill player do
what downhill is sure when you're going towards the basket
like downhill, not from a standstill. That's where he's at
his best. So I want him when downhill situations to
attack his guy. He's a dynamic player that way. Uh.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
The other one would be.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
I'm gonna go with Marcus Hall, and we call Marcus
Hall white Marcus because uh cut my assistant coaches when
I they said like, well who do we have? When
I like, well, you know, Marcus Hall's here, and they
were like oh, and then Marcus Hall walked in and
he walked out and they're like, I thought Marcus Hall
was black, right, So we call him. I call it
started calling him white.

Speaker 5 (46:55):
Marcus number thirteen, yes, thirteen, and.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
Some people his nickname last year was the waiter because
he looks like a waiter more than a basket play
and it's tall. But he's just a very average looking
He is brilliant, brilliant basketball IQ. He plays kind of
anywhere on the floor for him for us, in an
effort to avoid our turo dean, he'll probably bring the
ball up a ton and he'll play center as well. Uh,

(47:19):
so he'll play all over Mark White Marcus Hall is
another one you should watch for you have.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
A quick one down.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
No, actually, I'm good.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
We're good, We're good.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
Ye all right.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And there's there's our first official addition now that we're
like officially into college basketball season of ask to coach,
I was a little disappointed D and you didn't go
like full wisconson X and.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Go hey, coach, I just saw a clock.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Yeah, because for a lung, you know, in Green Bay,
just it's coach's coach, coach, coach.
