Speaker 1 (00:09):
What is up everybody? Potentially not us? After some travel
in different time zones, I'm Colleen Wolf with Erica tam Posey,
and this is our second episode of Split Ends. How
you feeling, Ricky? We made it, Colleen, didn't think it
was gonna happen, No, of course I did. We We
crushed it. I'm a drinking pre workout right now. Yeah,
(00:31):
just trying to sustain, you know, like normal human function.
And I lit a vanilla and peppermint harmony candle so
as you can tell, I am completely in the podcasting mood.
I'm so glad to hear that. So let's do it.
We have a big show coming up for you. We
have some stories from London. Erica was over there for
(00:52):
the big Game with you around the NFL podcast. I
was in Seattle, so I have some stories from there
heading over to Philly. It's gonna be a huge week
for Thursday night football. I'm so excited about that. Plus
a wild Monday in football too, and football scandals. We
got a lot. Plus a very special guest is coming
by Erica another one week to a second one. This
(01:13):
is crazy. Yes, do you want to sell who it is?
Or should we wait let's just say it. I'm so excited,
you guys. We have comedian Megan Gaily, who's a super
Colts fan, joining on to talk about their fantastic crumble
on Monday Night Football. Oh my goodness, it was a
spectacular one. So with that, let's get into all of
the fun things that happened, starting with the fact, Ricky
(01:34):
that I promote Split Ends during the TNF pregame show
Just for you. I told everyone to give us a
five star review, which you guys should do by the way,
if you're listening right now. I also told IRV that
if he calls me again during the middle of taping
that he might just catch himself a guest. So tell
me about London. Oh my god. So London was incredible.
So much happened, Colleen, and we were there for such
(01:56):
a short amount of time, even though it was like
five nights. It felt like with travel. I mean the
text messages I was sending to you on the eleven
hour flight yesterday, we obviously can't read on the air.
They were that explicit, but I was ready to open
a window and jump out. It was absolutely insane, But
we got there. We did some stuff at Sky Sports
all day. We did two back to back live shows,
which was awesome. We got to go to the game
(02:18):
and calling a T n S presence over there is
actually like insane, like it's gotten bigger and bigger, and
we get stopped in pubs, we get stopped on the street,
asked for pictures like at the not even at the games,
like just walking around London and I was so, you're
the Beatles essentially exactly like the Beatles, Like it couldn't
be more like the Beatles. But so I was walking
to get a coffee and a kid you not someone
(02:40):
from across the street yelled split ease, and I was like, what,
this is the coolest thing in my life. And at
the live show a lot of people were yelling like
splitties for life, and so many people after we're coming
up to me being like, you know, I like really
loved your show with Calleen, Like it's so great, like
definitely subscribed, you know, we're getting a ton of tweets,
so that was like super cool. Obviously selfishly, I was like,
(03:00):
oh my god, this is this is so cool. Speaking
of split end fans calling another fan tweeted at us
when you were talking about Aaron and playing the saxophone. Uh.
They were like, oh, I if Aaron can play all
these instruments, like, you know, we need more cowbell. So
you know, our theme might be a little bit different
this week, and you might notice a sound, you know,
the Aaron tossed in there. Just look out for that
(03:22):
throughout this episode. I'm stoked it'll be subtle. But yeah,
the game Jets Falcons what a classic. I was doing
the studio coverage for it and FaceTime do you at
about three am California time? It was great. Yeah, you
FaceTime me. I think you're in the hair and makeup
chair and I was on the sidelines and Young Waku
was like throwing his helmet because he had like there
(03:44):
was a kick return that was like botch and and
you're like getting ready for it and they didn't have
a kicking net set up. It was this whole thing.
But you FaceTime me and you're like in this and
I'm like sideline of the game and it's two pr
like noon in London. I don't even know what I
have no idea what time, and as at any point
in the day, I guess it was about twelve. Yeah,
your face time and you're just like hey in the
(04:06):
makeup chair, but we're both so confused. I just think
it's really impressive that we were somehow on the same
sleep schedule, except you were multiple time zones away from me.
We were live at four am in the studio. It
was a little trippy to be getting up at basically
five at night. I left my house at one am.
(04:26):
I mean, these London games, I feel like they're probably
better when you're in London. But I got to back
up one second, because yesterday, in those texts that you
were sending to me from the flight, you revealed a
piece of information about yourself that I just cannot go
any further without revealing to the entire Splitty nation. Okay, Splitty,
(04:47):
brace yourselves. This is such a weird thing, and I
do think you might be a serial killer. Erica will
not listen to the audio on movies on planes? Will
you listen to any audio? You just read subtitles? You know?
You set it up a little weird. I am very strange,
and I will admit this. But what happens is I
usually have my air pods in and I'm listening to
(05:09):
my Spotify playlist that I get on deck for the flight, right,
and I'm doing a lot of things, and for me
to like plug in physical headphones into the seat in
front of me and listen to movies like and watch
a movie, it just doesn't sit well with me because
I just like to listen to my chill hits and
you know, really get in the zone. So, yes, I
will watch movies if they have subtitles. I have started movies,
(05:32):
and if they don't have subtitles, I can't watch it
because I'm not gonna listen to the sound of the movies.
Why this was an eleven hour flight, right, Yeah, yeah,
and you just listen to your chill hits the whole time.
That's so weird. That's so anyway, let us do these things.
Let us know what you think. Do you listen to
(05:52):
movies with sound? That's very weird, that's not maybe said.
So tell me about the West tribute though you saw
at the stadium, Yes, dude, it was unbelievable. So we're
sitting there and someone came up to us and we
had no idea this is gonna happen. They were like,
on the second quarter, the third break, we're gonna do
like a video on the big JumboTron, you know, tribute
(06:13):
to West photos and voiceovers to see as like a
sold out stadium standing and clapping for West. It had
me and Greg and Dan and tears like on the
sideline like it was so moving, it was so incredible,
and Greg especially kept saying like I can just picture
West saying like I'm just a kid from Cincinnati and
(06:34):
like a sold out game that he loves in London
with when our fans have like grown so much over
there and have done so much for us and are
like their success specifically was just like so moving it was.
We were all just like a just a total mess
of We're on the sidelines and we're like we're crying
in front of you know, sixty five thousand people and
we're like, I just can't what a moment. I'm so
(06:55):
sad that I wasn't there for that. That sounds just
I can't imagine how powerful that was to be there
in London, because we know that the listeners of a
t N from over there are so awesome, so sweet,
so genuine. That's really cool that that happened. I know
that you had so many ridiculous stories and moments from
while you were over there, tell me the story about
(07:16):
you and Dan Hansas. Okay, So Dan and I like
and Gregg and Henry kept saying this too, that like
Dan and I had like a romantic comedy afternoon out,
like it was Friday. There was a Jets meet up
with Jets fans and Dan was like, let's go. So
we like a lot of fans kept coming up to
to Dan because it's a Jets bar and me and
like we're taking photos and stuff. So then Dan's like,
(07:38):
you know, like let's get out of here. So we
get out and we're walking and we're trying to hail
Calves and we're just like literally like at one point,
I was like doubled over on the side of the
street laughing, and me and him are like we're skipping
through the London streets. Like. So then we walk by
this thing called the Shard and it's like this massive
building that apparently like like really tough to get into,
but because it was early in the afternoon, Dan and
(07:59):
I like get into the place. We go through security
and we go up the elevator to like THEO and
it's overlooking all of London and like the Thames River
and everything right there. And so as we're walking in,
like the Major d is like so proper in a suit.
It was like a fancy cocktail bar, and Dan's like, oh,
it's our one year anniversary. Like I was like, oh, congrats,
Like that's so great, and we sit down and we
(08:21):
like got some we got some appetizers, and then Dan
was like they didn't give us a single thing for free,
and we said it was our anniversary. Like we left
like it was like a total we got lost, and
then like we just had the best night together and
it was like we were on cloud nine coming back.
And Greg and Henry when we went to dinner later,
it was like, did you guys literally like film a
romantic comedy movie like today And we're like, we literally
(08:43):
did if there was a soundtrack and a camera crew
following us around. It was so much fun. There is
nothing better than being on the road with the people
that we work with because everyone is so much fun.
I was in Seattle for the Seahawks rams game and
it was a blast. We went to this really cool
restaurant in Seattle called Wilmot's Most Me Joe Thomas, Steve
Smith Senior. I met Steve's uncle, which was really enlightening
(09:07):
because he told so many stories about when Steve was
younger and the two of them growing up, And I
just never in my head thought to picture Steve Smith
Senior as a little kid, but now doing it, I cannot.
As a junior, I can't imagine what a handful he was.
He must have been so so funny as a kid.
And his uncle was telling me this one story that
(09:29):
I loved. He said that he at one point went
and stayed over Steve's house when they were growing up
and he was in high school. His uncle and Steve
was about six years old, and he said that even then,
as a six year old, that Steve could strong arm
him out of the bed that they were supposed to share.
And his uncle was like, okay, I'm a high school student.
(09:49):
I'm in high school, like I should be able to
no problem. Get this one. This is a win for me.
And he said even Steve as a six year old,
was not having it. Was so lentlist put up a
better fight than he and his uncle was like, you
know what, fine, you you take the bed. I don't
even want the bed. I don't even want to talk
about this anymore. So it was really fun just to
(10:09):
get that picture painted of Steve and meet his uncle,
who was so funny. And then the other thing that
really stood out for me from last Thursday night Russell
Wilson getting hurt the fact that him and I are
now in the mallet finger club because he has the
same exact thing. And I'm basically a football player now
at this point because I've got mine by catching the
(10:32):
past from Kurt Warner, and now that Russ and I
have this whole thing in common, I think it's going
to take my broadcasting to the next level. Are you
guys going to create like a secret handshake where you
just like shake, you know, fingers, probably like a pinky square,
a pinky square or a pinky square. I think a
pinky squares cooler because you're both contorted fingers. You can
(10:53):
make a square with your with your think, So that's
pretty good. I was just gonna say that Matthew Stafford,
he looks like he's ten years younger playing for the Rams.
When he was talking to us postgame, I just couldn't
get over how many years it looked like we're put
back onto his life. As soon as you put the
Rams jersey on, we have another Thursday night football coming
(11:26):
up in Philly, but Erica. First, you know what time
it is. And now for our next segment, we care all. Yes,
that's it. That's the one. It is time. We've been
waiting all week for it, so we're gonna start. Last
(11:47):
week we had the Urban Meyer drama, which we thought
was scandalous. We didn't talk a ton about it, but
this John Gruden story really is taking things to a
nuclear level. So just to get you up to speed,
the league's investigation right now, the Washington football team's work
environment is underway, and they uncovered a ton of emails.
(12:08):
Gruten had exchanged these messages with the then team president
of the Washington Football Team, Bruce Allen. So first last
week was the Wall Street Journal report and that had
the email with the racial trope about nfl p A
director DeMarcus Smith, and he was asked about that Sunday
because he was coaching in that game that the Raiders
(12:29):
lost to the Bears. But this is what he had
to say about it post game. I'm not like that
at all, but I apologize. I want to keep addressing it.
He doesn't want to keep addressing it. This was a
very short clip from a longer kind of explanation of
what he had to say. And what got me was
the fact that he said he doesn't want to keep
addressing it because the New York Times dropped an absolute
(12:50):
bomb on Monday with emails from gruten that hit just
about everybody. He completely emptied the clip. I mean, this
was home a phobic, misogynistic comments, He got Goodell, player protests,
female raffs, he concussions. So many different people, yes, and
so many different topics. So Tom Palisero then broke the
(13:12):
news that John Gruden was resigning during Monday Night Football.
The fact that he was allowed to coach though in
that game I thought was really surprising. Ricky. It was
all sort of a a crazy unfolding of events. It's
like these emails came out, which you know are horrible
from the ten years ago. Then Friday comes when that broke.
Then he shows up and coaches on Sunday. After the presser,
(13:34):
like you just said, He's like, I don't need to
keep talking about it. I apologized, I'm sorry. Well, you know,
there's always more underlying the surface. So when all these
you know, expose, a sort of dropped and this was
leaked and this was originally you know, set up to
go into depth, you know, in the Dan Snyder era
and what happened in Washington football team. There's also like
you can read between the lines of what stuff is
(13:55):
getting leaked and what isn't. So I do think that,
I mean, if it was up to me, I would
love to see that full investigation. I find that kind
of fascinating. But also I think it is kind of
important to note that this happened on National coming Out Day,
which was Monday, October eleven, and so not only is
the first out player on the Raiders, it is happening
on National coming Out Day that these are leaked, and
(14:17):
not only are there the racist and you know, all
the other like you said, every other group possible named
under this. It's just personally speaking as as someone that
is gay, it's like we're constantly fighting these notions that
like maybe people are getting better or maybe people are
really rooting for us, you know, inside these closed door rooms,
(14:38):
and this stuff comes out and it is constantly like okay,
like we know a lot of people feel this way.
It just it just sucks to to see it when
when it's coming from someone that's a position in power. Yeah,
there's so many things to to unpack about the entire situation.
I was reading the New York Times article and I
had to reread things over and over again just to
(15:01):
be like, did I actually read that right? It was
such a bombshell of a report. And then you consider
the fact that Derek Carr is neighbors with Jon Gruden.
They live on the same street basically, and John Gruden's
son is on the strength and conditioning staff. I just
feel bad for the players that are there now. Rick Posaccia,
(15:22):
he's the new interim head coach. He's really well liked
by everyone on the team. I know that, But I
just the fact that this happened during Monday Night Football
was really kind of just wild because of the fact
that John Gruden used to work for Monday Night Football
and that's when he sent these emails. Salent, It's just,
(15:43):
you know, these emails aren't sent in a vacuum, you know.
I mean, as much as you'd like to think that,
you know, he's just firing off all these different types
of emails like that. I'm interested to hopefully one day
see the correspondence. You don't say that, you know, like
you just you don't say that if it's being received
or there's a lot going into this, and will definitely
(16:04):
keep keep you guys updated as it you know unfold,
plenty more to come on this, so make sure you
keep it to NFL Network because we will have you
covered with all of the developments that go on with
the investigation and the team is well moving forward. So
the Gruden news went down during the Ravens furious comeback
when over the Colts in overtime. There were so many
(16:25):
things that were happening on Monday, but the game, it
was so wild because Baltimore and I'm gonna say that Baltimore,
like Al Michael says, it's it's on my radar, let
me tell you so. Baltimore scored twenty two unanswered points
in that game. Lamar Jackson just put on an absolute show,
landing at the head on the m VP conversation. He
was so good, Ricky. No singular players more important to
(16:49):
their team right now, definitely not. I saw a graphic
on Twitter that was trending that he has you know,
eighteen sixty one tho hundred sixty total yards in which
is more than eighteen teams. So it at his total
yards and then I had all the team logos graphics
on the other like it's absolutely insane, and he legitimately
accounted for four yards of Baltimore's five three net yards
(17:11):
of the night, Like Lamar Jackson single handedly won this
game for this team. This comeback was unreal. The fact
that he threw for four hundred and forty two yards
three touchdowns, and and then as you said, when you
add in the rushing numbers, five hundred and four yards
of total offense. It was such a great night for him.
And the fact that he set the Ravens single game
(17:32):
passing record with those four hundred and forty two yards.
It was such a statement, I think for him because
all paging, all of the people that have said Lamar
Jackson can't win a game with his arm, can't That
is it right there, the fact that he was able
to put on that show, and I just feel really
bad for Colts fans, and we want to do a
(17:53):
welfare check on noted Colts super fan. Hilarious comedian you
can hear on the Hysteria podcast also absolutely loves Roderigo Blankenship.
It is Megan Gaily. Megan wanted to check on you
just because I'm not sure if you're hysterical after what
happened with the cold. I really and and then I
(18:13):
came on in a robe with hair, ranting and rape.
I mean, you're doing great. Yeah, you would take one
look at me and go, she is not well. Um.
I promised my husband I would shower today, so I
am fresh from the shower. So I did it. Um,
but boy wow, I mean it was a brutal one.
(18:36):
It was the Colds had this game in the bag,
and I knew they did I knew they did it.
I knew they did it. Like if that's the thing,
It's like, I what's really upsetting is I knew sadly
that they were going to lose all day, but then
the fashion fashion in which they lost I could not
have predicted. And I feel so bad for Rod And
(18:59):
I know he is getting dragged, but it's not I mean,
I I injured my hip walking too much at Disneyland,
so I can't even imagine being in damn Baltimore where
I'm sure they're cursing things. You know, they really hate us,
and who knows what they did to Rod in his hip,
(19:20):
and I just I feel I just feel so bad
for him so many I've just been on Twitter. I
really have work to do, and I've just been on Twitter,
and every Cults player a Bible verse about overcoming adversity
or just it's like, wow, I didn't know the Bible
talks so much about being one and four. Um, but
(19:40):
they're they're trying, they're trying to get mentally like they're
they're putting it out there. Ursays weighing, and he's like
that that's how it goes, and you're like, it is,
it is how it goes. I woke up this morning
and checked Twitter to find a half written tweet about
feeling bad for Jonathan Taylor. So it appears that I
passed out mid thought. I unfortunately didn't get to send
(20:01):
any of those out. But this was this was once
his best game. Jonathan Taylor had a ton of really
great plays. It was just Calais Campbell with the block
field goal. That's when I really felt like things started
to crumble. Yeah, and and Frank Wright, who I do love. Um.
I think I may be the only Colts fan left
who loves him. Um. He said that he got too
(20:25):
conservative on that on that third and it was like
third and six third and eight, and you do wonder
knowing what they knew about hot Rod being hurt. We
gotta you know, he's not gonna have a kick for
the game, Like why is even being put that field goal?
Go for it, like just get a first you need
(20:46):
to you need to score touchdowns here and and just
a lot of points left unfortunately off off of his foot. Man,
that was tough. And and Megan, I was on an
eleven hour flight from lund In and I land and
our our producer erand's texting me and Colleen and he's like,
I can't believe the Colts. I think they were up
either yea, they were up a ton. And I'm like, wow,
(21:11):
like old two boots once is gonna get it done,
Like this is great. And then I'm going back and
I'm watching some of the you know, the um Darius
Leonard picking it up and running it all over that
and like watching the highlights, and I'm like, wow, this
Colts team is like really trying good. You know, Frank
right good, Frank. Frank's sweatshirt was really cool on the sidelines, gorgeous.
(21:32):
It's my mom said, it's reigning comfetti. And I was like, well,
you know it is representing all the different kinds of cancer. Um,
so comfetti raining fine, but no, I think everybody looked.
I even thought the pregame when it was like we're
all the same, you know, because we obviously sold the team, um,
but like we're all in this together, I was like,
(21:53):
this is cute, this is fun. Yeah. Yeah, it was tough.
It was tough. So I just we wanted to just
formally apologize to you. Do I seem well, you seem
like you're doing great, and I'm really I think that
everything is gonna be fine today. I don't know what
you have planned, but maybe cancel everything and clear your calendar.
I'm currently watching a Lifetime film called Double Daddy, and
(22:17):
it is washing over me like vix vapor rub you
know it is. It's soothing. It's soothing a part of
me and I have watched um, Jack Doyle push that
man's head into the ground a few times, and that
feels pretty good. Took God, that was so unfortunate. Oh
my god. I was like, wait a second, no, Jack Doyle,
(22:38):
you don't get away with that, and he did. He did.
He's a nice man too, He's a nice man. So
thanks gals, I'm gonna go put real clothes. I'm actually not.
I'm not gonna it's gonna be a robe a robe
date for me. The shower is all I could do.
But double daddy, Oh that's what I call Frank Raich
(23:01):
and Ballard, my double chatties. Go treat yourself, Go make
yourself some tea, maybe fill it with alcohol. Whatever you
need to do to get through today. Thank you, you're
good friends. You're good friends. Alright, Megan, there she goes.
We wish her well on her journey today. I hope
she's all right. I know truly. What else is on
(23:35):
your radar, Rickie? Okay, so there's a lot of other
stuff that we that we really care about. Um. You know,
a video emerged of two Eagles fans making sweet love
in the bathroom in Carolina this week, which you know,
the Eagles had that big comeback. The defense came up
with three interceptions. I think you tweeted out that you
may have lost your voice. You were you're screaming. So
(23:58):
seem like seems like they were ready to celebrate this
win in Carolina. I felt this weird sensation while watching
the comeback, like I was alive again, like I was
actually just feeling emotions overall. In general, I'm still in
shock that they won. They came back from the absolute dead.
They kept hurting themselves every single way possible. It was penalties,
(24:19):
there was a bad snap that led to a safety,
there was a fumble, and then all of a sudden
things changed. Now I had just gotten home from doing
the postgame show for the London game, and I sat down,
turned on all the TVs and I was watching, and
John literally left because the Eagles were so bad. He
was watching and then just was like, I'm gonna go
(24:40):
run Smarron's and go grocery shopping in the third quarter.
So I turned it on. I'm watching and the deep
shot to Quiz Watkins in the third quarter on third down,
it was beautiful. Then Hurts scored on a sneak right there,
and all of a sudden, it was like things started
really turning around. There was a blocked punt, so the
special teams came up huge. As you said, the defense
(25:01):
came up big all day long. Stephen Nelson then had
a massive interception, so it was really up to the
offense to deliver, and they did. They found a run
game at the end to ice the game, although I
almost lost my mind. I think maybe I lost my
voice while I was screaming at Miles Sanders for running
out of bounds. That is not your job at all. Game. Well,
(25:23):
he came in, got a huge game. I'm just gonna
call him Gains from now on hashtag games for Kenny Gaine,
Well he was, he was great. He came up big,
and then they did their thing. Jalen Hurts he scored
the touchdown and did the Cam Newton Superman was amazing,
total savage move. Oh my god, right after the special
teams blocked that punt that you said, and then they
(25:44):
scored to get ahead. He like, does the rip your
your shirt off? You know for the Superman. The fact
that Jalen Hurts did that in Carolina is savage and
the confidence is back for this ego. Same Colleen is
beaming right now just listening. She's like he had this
is the Eagles. Yes, hate this, like they make me
feel all the time and I want to just write
them off and be like I don't care, I will
(26:06):
never care again about them, and then they reel me
back in every second time, and I'm leaving for Philadelphia
in the morning for Thursday Night football, which makes it
so much better because if they had lost coming into
this game after all of the other losses, and then
they have Tom Brady and the Bucks coming in, that
would just be a little bit of a flat crowd.
(26:26):
I can feel it already, but now there's a little
bit more juice. Even Michael Irvin texted me excited and
happy that the Eagles won. I never thought that I
would see the day that that would happen. He's ready
for it. I am just a little worried about my
parents at the game. Is concern right now? I mean
stroke of luck to you found those Eagles green leather
(26:48):
pants that you sent a picture of. Are you going
to wear the on TNF or just for the weekend
in Philly. It's possible. I'm going to wear them on TNF,
So keep a lookout for green leather pants. It's going
to be a big week. I can't wait. I'm so
excited to eat all of the food, all of the sandwiches,
and watched the Eagles beat Tom Brady again. Yeah. Yeah,
(27:08):
let's let's see if that happens. I'll be interested. Another
story calling I wanted to tell you about is. As
you know, I'm super plugged into the Pittsburgh nightly news scene.
Oh you are. Yeah, I like to track that and
what's going on, and I just wanted you to hear Okay,
so you watched Pittsburgh local news, but you don't listen
to audio on movies on a plane. I just want
(27:30):
to get this all straight. Yeah, yeah, just normal, normal
quirks of Ricky Hollywood. But calling I came across this
and I just wanted you to hear it. Now. After
the game, Heinz field crews and first responders found themselves
dealing with something rather unusual. Someone spread their relatives ashes,
partially in the stands and partially on the edge of
the field. The Steelers say that they're aware that it happened,
(27:53):
they do not condone it, and they're working with local authorities.
In Pennsylvania, you are not allowed to spread ashes anywhere
without the property owner's permission. I mean, when I came
across that, I mean, it was unbelievable. So I just
wanted your reaction on that. Do you think that happened?
When you know Big Ben finally threw too deep passes
(28:15):
that resulted in touchdowns, and like maybe they were planning
it for after the game, and they jumped up to
cheer and maybe just spilled the ashes out, or was
it more deliberate than that. That would be such a
terrible accident. I I know you have not watched White
Lotus yet, but for anyone who has, Jennifer Coolidge, who
is incredible in that show, she is carrying around her
(28:36):
mom's ashes. She thinks she loses them at one point.
She's a real hot mess with the ashes. And that's
all I'm picturing is Jennifer Coolidge at the Steelers game
accidentally knocking her mom's ashes over. I would like to
think that this was deliberate and they didn't know that
they were breaking a law of any sort. I just
want to know how somebody knew that that happened, Like,
(28:59):
was it very obvious that someone were spreading the ashes
of their loved one. It's, I guess, an odd place
to do it, but we've seen it happen before. I
guess at sporting events. I mean, yeah, and maybe they
weren't sure. You know, Big Band has his bounce back
game to avoid their four game losing streak, you know,
the last three. Maybe they weren't sure when a win
was going to happen again at Hinchfield, so they took,
(29:20):
you know, control of this situation. I do remember from
Philly in the World Series, Tim McGraw scattered some of
tugs ashes on the picture, so that's I guess that's
technically well he he must have had permission otherwise, Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, it's gonna get you every time, every single time. Alright, Colleen,
I think you know what time it is. What time
(29:43):
is when those drums come in, it can only mean
one thing. It's time for the split end of the week.
Hit me with the sex. Oh that woke me right up,
right back. Aaron really user air and is crushing it
with split end of the week? Is Cadarius Tony? What
(30:06):
do you do with my friend? So the Giants first
round wide receiver was playing the Cowboys ejected in the
fourth quarter for throwing a punch during the blowout loss.
I get it. Division games are different, emotions are high.
There was a little bit of a tussle, but come on, Erica,
he punched a helmet with his hand. Every time I
(30:28):
see this, I don't understand it. What are you thinking
that you get so hot that you are going to
punch a helmet? I mean it is, it is crazy.
So I think the fact that he literally beat O
b J and he has the most receiving yards in
a game by a rookie since for Giants, since he
was on such a high, Like, you're already doing so
well in this game, why are you? You know that's
(30:50):
going to jeopardize you and you're gonna get thrown out
of the game. But yes, the split end of the
week is actually like is it cool to punch a
helmet with a bare hand? You know on hockey they
have gloves on, so then the helmet's kind of come
off and they've got gloves. But here's the thing. I've
I've been angry before, and you know, a bad day
at work, your boss is kind of getting on you.
And I think it's important to come home and specifically
(31:10):
punch a helmet because it shows how tough you really are.
And I know you are very sensitive with your hands
right now, and like hands are a big issue with
you and fingers. I think that it's super important to
get your aggression out and hit harder objects than your hand.
If I punch a pillow, that's lane, right, So if
I need to assert dominance. I need to hit something physical,
(31:31):
so you know, computer screens, um, you know, maybe hydroflask
water bottles that are very, very tough. You know. Well,
I think clearly on the other side of this argument,
I think it's a terrible idea to punch anything that
potentially could break your hand, especially if you're a football
player and a wide receiver that needs those hands to
catch balls. Absolutely, and I'm just let me let me
(31:54):
clear the air here. I'm talking about physically punching hard objects.
I'm not talking about whether Canarius tone he should have
punched him in the head or not. That was stupid.
He was already breaking records for the Giants. They already
had injuries like he needed to be in that game.
Bad job by you. So let us know. Should you
punch hard objects, specifically plastic splitties? Let us know? All right, Erico,
(32:17):
we gotta get out of here. You need to catch
up on your sleep. Maybe blow out those candles. Do
not forget to do that. I gotta go to Philly.
We need self care days and naps and everything else
because there's a lot going on. There's so much going on,
you guys. Rate review, Subscribe make sure you leave us.
Five stars were climbing the charts. Split ins is taking
over the league. You guys and a welfare chuck on
(32:37):
our listeners. Let us know how you are in an
Apple podcast review. I think that's how we communicate these days.
Love it, Love it until next time. Let's split it.
Split two
What is up everybody? Potentially not us? After some travel
in different time zones, I'm Colleen Wolf with Erica tam Posey,
and this is our second episode of Split Ends. How
you feeling, Ricky? We made it, Colleen, didn't think it
was gonna happen, No, of course I did. We We
crushed it. I'm a drinking pre workout right now. Yeah,
(00:31):
just trying to sustain, you know, like normal human function.
And I lit a vanilla and peppermint harmony candle so
as you can tell, I am completely in the podcasting mood.
I'm so glad to hear that. So let's do it.
We have a big show coming up for you. We
have some stories from London. Erica was over there for
(00:52):
the big Game with you around the NFL podcast. I
was in Seattle, so I have some stories from there
heading over to Philly. It's gonna be a huge week
for Thursday night football. I'm so excited about that. Plus
a wild Monday in football too, and football scandals. We
got a lot. Plus a very special guest is coming
by Erica another one week to a second one. This
(01:13):
is crazy. Yes, do you want to sell who it is?
Or should we wait let's just say it. I'm so excited,
you guys. We have comedian Megan Gaily, who's a super
Colts fan, joining on to talk about their fantastic crumble
on Monday Night Football. Oh my goodness, it was a
spectacular one. So with that, let's get into all of
the fun things that happened, starting with the fact, Ricky
(01:34):
that I promote Split Ends during the TNF pregame show
Just for you. I told everyone to give us a
five star review, which you guys should do by the way,
if you're listening right now. I also told IRV that
if he calls me again during the middle of taping
that he might just catch himself a guest. So tell
me about London. Oh my god. So London was incredible.
So much happened, Colleen, and we were there for such
(01:56):
a short amount of time, even though it was like
five nights. It felt like with travel. I mean the
text messages I was sending to you on the eleven
hour flight yesterday, we obviously can't read on the air.
They were that explicit, but I was ready to open
a window and jump out. It was absolutely insane, But
we got there. We did some stuff at Sky Sports
all day. We did two back to back live shows,
which was awesome. We got to go to the game
(02:18):
and calling a T n S presence over there is
actually like insane, like it's gotten bigger and bigger, and
we get stopped in pubs, we get stopped on the street,
asked for pictures like at the not even at the games,
like just walking around London and I was so, you're
the Beatles essentially exactly like the Beatles, Like it couldn't
be more like the Beatles. But so I was walking
to get a coffee and a kid you not someone
(02:40):
from across the street yelled split ease, and I was like, what,
this is the coolest thing in my life. And at
the live show a lot of people were yelling like
splitties for life, and so many people after we're coming
up to me being like, you know, I like really
loved your show with Calleen, Like it's so great, like
definitely subscribed, you know, we're getting a ton of tweets,
so that was like super cool. Obviously selfishly, I was like,
(03:00):
oh my god, this is this is so cool. Speaking
of split end fans calling another fan tweeted at us
when you were talking about Aaron and playing the saxophone. Uh.
They were like, oh, I if Aaron can play all
these instruments, like, you know, we need more cowbell. So
you know, our theme might be a little bit different
this week, and you might notice a sound, you know,
the Aaron tossed in there. Just look out for that
(03:22):
throughout this episode. I'm stoked it'll be subtle. But yeah,
the game Jets Falcons what a classic. I was doing
the studio coverage for it and FaceTime do you at
about three am California time? It was great. Yeah, you
FaceTime me. I think you're in the hair and makeup
chair and I was on the sidelines and Young Waku
was like throwing his helmet because he had like there
(03:44):
was a kick return that was like botch and and
you're like getting ready for it and they didn't have
a kicking net set up. It was this whole thing.
But you FaceTime me and you're like in this and
I'm like sideline of the game and it's two pr
like noon in London. I don't even know what I
have no idea what time, and as at any point
in the day, I guess it was about twelve. Yeah,
your face time and you're just like hey in the
(04:06):
makeup chair, but we're both so confused. I just think
it's really impressive that we were somehow on the same
sleep schedule, except you were multiple time zones away from me.
We were live at four am in the studio. It
was a little trippy to be getting up at basically
five at night. I left my house at one am.
(04:26):
I mean, these London games, I feel like they're probably
better when you're in London. But I got to back
up one second, because yesterday, in those texts that you
were sending to me from the flight, you revealed a
piece of information about yourself that I just cannot go
any further without revealing to the entire Splitty nation. Okay, Splitty,
(04:47):
brace yourselves. This is such a weird thing, and I
do think you might be a serial killer. Erica will
not listen to the audio on movies on planes? Will
you listen to any audio? You just read subtitles? You know?
You set it up a little weird. I am very strange,
and I will admit this. But what happens is I
usually have my air pods in and I'm listening to
(05:09):
my Spotify playlist that I get on deck for the flight, right,
and I'm doing a lot of things, and for me
to like plug in physical headphones into the seat in
front of me and listen to movies like and watch
a movie, it just doesn't sit well with me because
I just like to listen to my chill hits and
you know, really get in the zone. So, yes, I
will watch movies if they have subtitles. I have started movies,
(05:32):
and if they don't have subtitles, I can't watch it
because I'm not gonna listen to the sound of the movies.
Why this was an eleven hour flight, right, Yeah, yeah,
and you just listen to your chill hits the whole time.
That's so weird. That's so anyway, let us do these things.
Let us know what you think. Do you listen to
(05:52):
movies with sound? That's very weird, that's not maybe said.
So tell me about the West tribute though you saw
at the stadium, Yes, dude, it was unbelievable. So we're
sitting there and someone came up to us and we
had no idea this is gonna happen. They were like,
on the second quarter, the third break, we're gonna do
like a video on the big JumboTron, you know, tribute
(06:13):
to West photos and voiceovers to see as like a
sold out stadium standing and clapping for West. It had
me and Greg and Dan and tears like on the
sideline like it was so moving, it was so incredible,
and Greg especially kept saying like I can just picture
West saying like I'm just a kid from Cincinnati and
(06:34):
like a sold out game that he loves in London
with when our fans have like grown so much over
there and have done so much for us and are
like their success specifically was just like so moving it was.
We were all just like a just a total mess
of We're on the sidelines and we're like we're crying
in front of you know, sixty five thousand people and
we're like, I just can't what a moment. I'm so
(06:55):
sad that I wasn't there for that. That sounds just
I can't imagine how powerful that was to be there
in London, because we know that the listeners of a
t N from over there are so awesome, so sweet,
so genuine. That's really cool that that happened. I know
that you had so many ridiculous stories and moments from
while you were over there, tell me the story about
(07:16):
you and Dan Hansas. Okay, So Dan and I like
and Gregg and Henry kept saying this too, that like
Dan and I had like a romantic comedy afternoon out,
like it was Friday. There was a Jets meet up
with Jets fans and Dan was like, let's go. So
we like a lot of fans kept coming up to
to Dan because it's a Jets bar and me and
like we're taking photos and stuff. So then Dan's like,
(07:38):
you know, like let's get out of here. So we
get out and we're walking and we're trying to hail
Calves and we're just like literally like at one point,
I was like doubled over on the side of the
street laughing, and me and him are like we're skipping
through the London streets. Like. So then we walk by
this thing called the Shard and it's like this massive
building that apparently like like really tough to get into,
but because it was early in the afternoon, Dan and
(07:59):
I like get into the place. We go through security
and we go up the elevator to like THEO and
it's overlooking all of London and like the Thames River
and everything right there. And so as we're walking in,
like the Major d is like so proper in a suit.
It was like a fancy cocktail bar, and Dan's like, oh,
it's our one year anniversary. Like I was like, oh, congrats,
Like that's so great, and we sit down and we
(08:21):
like got some we got some appetizers, and then Dan
was like they didn't give us a single thing for free,
and we said it was our anniversary. Like we left
like it was like a total we got lost, and
then like we just had the best night together and
it was like we were on cloud nine coming back.
And Greg and Henry when we went to dinner later,
it was like, did you guys literally like film a
romantic comedy movie like today And we're like, we literally
(08:43):
did if there was a soundtrack and a camera crew
following us around. It was so much fun. There is
nothing better than being on the road with the people
that we work with because everyone is so much fun.
I was in Seattle for the Seahawks rams game and
it was a blast. We went to this really cool
restaurant in Seattle called Wilmot's Most Me Joe Thomas, Steve
Smith Senior. I met Steve's uncle, which was really enlightening
(09:07):
because he told so many stories about when Steve was
younger and the two of them growing up, And I
just never in my head thought to picture Steve Smith
Senior as a little kid, but now doing it, I cannot.
As a junior, I can't imagine what a handful he was.
He must have been so so funny as a kid.
And his uncle was telling me this one story that
(09:29):
I loved. He said that he at one point went
and stayed over Steve's house when they were growing up
and he was in high school. His uncle and Steve
was about six years old, and he said that even then,
as a six year old, that Steve could strong arm
him out of the bed that they were supposed to share.
And his uncle was like, okay, I'm a high school student.
(09:49):
I'm in high school, like I should be able to
no problem. Get this one. This is a win for me.
And he said even Steve as a six year old,
was not having it. Was so lentlist put up a
better fight than he and his uncle was like, you
know what, fine, you you take the bed. I don't
even want the bed. I don't even want to talk
about this anymore. So it was really fun just to
(10:09):
get that picture painted of Steve and meet his uncle,
who was so funny. And then the other thing that
really stood out for me from last Thursday night Russell
Wilson getting hurt the fact that him and I are
now in the mallet finger club because he has the
same exact thing. And I'm basically a football player now
at this point because I've got mine by catching the
(10:32):
past from Kurt Warner, and now that Russ and I
have this whole thing in common, I think it's going
to take my broadcasting to the next level. Are you
guys going to create like a secret handshake where you
just like shake, you know, fingers, probably like a pinky square,
a pinky square or a pinky square. I think a
pinky squares cooler because you're both contorted fingers. You can
(10:53):
make a square with your with your think, So that's
pretty good. I was just gonna say that Matthew Stafford,
he looks like he's ten years younger playing for the Rams.
When he was talking to us postgame, I just couldn't
get over how many years it looked like we're put
back onto his life. As soon as you put the
Rams jersey on, we have another Thursday night football coming
(11:26):
up in Philly, but Erica. First, you know what time
it is. And now for our next segment, we care all. Yes,
that's it. That's the one. It is time. We've been
waiting all week for it, so we're gonna start. Last
(11:47):
week we had the Urban Meyer drama, which we thought
was scandalous. We didn't talk a ton about it, but
this John Gruden story really is taking things to a
nuclear level. So just to get you up to speed,
the league's investigation right now, the Washington football team's work
environment is underway, and they uncovered a ton of emails.
(12:08):
Gruten had exchanged these messages with the then team president
of the Washington Football Team, Bruce Allen. So first last
week was the Wall Street Journal report and that had
the email with the racial trope about nfl p A
director DeMarcus Smith, and he was asked about that Sunday
because he was coaching in that game that the Raiders
(12:29):
lost to the Bears. But this is what he had
to say about it post game. I'm not like that
at all, but I apologize. I want to keep addressing it.
He doesn't want to keep addressing it. This was a
very short clip from a longer kind of explanation of
what he had to say. And what got me was
the fact that he said he doesn't want to keep
addressing it because the New York Times dropped an absolute
(12:50):
bomb on Monday with emails from gruten that hit just
about everybody. He completely emptied the clip. I mean, this
was home a phobic, misogynistic comments, He got Goodell, player protests,
female raffs, he concussions. So many different people, yes, and
so many different topics. So Tom Palisero then broke the
(13:12):
news that John Gruden was resigning during Monday Night Football.
The fact that he was allowed to coach though in
that game I thought was really surprising. Ricky. It was
all sort of a a crazy unfolding of events. It's
like these emails came out, which you know are horrible
from the ten years ago. Then Friday comes when that broke.
Then he shows up and coaches on Sunday. After the presser,
(13:34):
like you just said, He's like, I don't need to
keep talking about it. I apologized, I'm sorry. Well, you know,
there's always more underlying the surface. So when all these
you know, expose, a sort of dropped and this was
leaked and this was originally you know, set up to
go into depth, you know, in the Dan Snyder era
and what happened in Washington football team. There's also like
you can read between the lines of what stuff is
(13:55):
getting leaked and what isn't. So I do think that,
I mean, if it was up to me, I would
love to see that full investigation. I find that kind
of fascinating. But also I think it is kind of
important to note that this happened on National coming Out Day,
which was Monday, October eleven, and so not only is
the first out player on the Raiders, it is happening
on National coming Out Day that these are leaked, and
(14:17):
not only are there the racist and you know, all
the other like you said, every other group possible named
under this. It's just personally speaking as as someone that
is gay, it's like we're constantly fighting these notions that
like maybe people are getting better or maybe people are
really rooting for us, you know, inside these closed door rooms,
(14:38):
and this stuff comes out and it is constantly like okay,
like we know a lot of people feel this way.
It just it just sucks to to see it when
when it's coming from someone that's a position in power. Yeah,
there's so many things to to unpack about the entire situation.
I was reading the New York Times article and I
had to reread things over and over again just to
(15:01):
be like, did I actually read that right? It was
such a bombshell of a report. And then you consider
the fact that Derek Carr is neighbors with Jon Gruden.
They live on the same street basically, and John Gruden's
son is on the strength and conditioning staff. I just
feel bad for the players that are there now. Rick Posaccia,
(15:22):
he's the new interim head coach. He's really well liked
by everyone on the team. I know that, But I
just the fact that this happened during Monday Night Football
was really kind of just wild because of the fact
that John Gruden used to work for Monday Night Football
and that's when he sent these emails. Salent, It's just,
(15:43):
you know, these emails aren't sent in a vacuum, you know.
I mean, as much as you'd like to think that,
you know, he's just firing off all these different types
of emails like that. I'm interested to hopefully one day
see the correspondence. You don't say that, you know, like
you just you don't say that if it's being received
or there's a lot going into this, and will definitely
(16:04):
keep keep you guys updated as it you know unfold,
plenty more to come on this, so make sure you
keep it to NFL Network because we will have you
covered with all of the developments that go on with
the investigation and the team is well moving forward. So
the Gruden news went down during the Ravens furious comeback
when over the Colts in overtime. There were so many
(16:25):
things that were happening on Monday, but the game, it
was so wild because Baltimore and I'm gonna say that Baltimore,
like Al Michael says, it's it's on my radar, let
me tell you so. Baltimore scored twenty two unanswered points
in that game. Lamar Jackson just put on an absolute show,
landing at the head on the m VP conversation. He
was so good, Ricky. No singular players more important to
(16:49):
their team right now, definitely not. I saw a graphic
on Twitter that was trending that he has you know,
eighteen sixty one tho hundred sixty total yards in which
is more than eighteen teams. So it at his total
yards and then I had all the team logos graphics
on the other like it's absolutely insane, and he legitimately
accounted for four yards of Baltimore's five three net yards
(17:11):
of the night, Like Lamar Jackson single handedly won this
game for this team. This comeback was unreal. The fact
that he threw for four hundred and forty two yards
three touchdowns, and and then as you said, when you
add in the rushing numbers, five hundred and four yards
of total offense. It was such a great night for him.
And the fact that he set the Ravens single game
(17:32):
passing record with those four hundred and forty two yards.
It was such a statement, I think for him because
all paging, all of the people that have said Lamar
Jackson can't win a game with his arm, can't That
is it right there, the fact that he was able
to put on that show, and I just feel really
bad for Colts fans, and we want to do a
(17:53):
welfare check on noted Colts super fan. Hilarious comedian you
can hear on the Hysteria podcast also absolutely loves Roderigo Blankenship.
It is Megan Gaily. Megan wanted to check on you
just because I'm not sure if you're hysterical after what
happened with the cold. I really and and then I
(18:13):
came on in a robe with hair, ranting and rape.
I mean, you're doing great. Yeah, you would take one
look at me and go, she is not well. Um.
I promised my husband I would shower today, so I
am fresh from the shower. So I did it. Um,
but boy wow, I mean it was a brutal one.
(18:36):
It was the Colds had this game in the bag,
and I knew they did I knew they did it.
I knew they did it. Like if that's the thing,
It's like, I what's really upsetting is I knew sadly
that they were going to lose all day, but then
the fashion fashion in which they lost I could not
have predicted. And I feel so bad for Rod And
(18:59):
I know he is getting dragged, but it's not I mean,
I I injured my hip walking too much at Disneyland,
so I can't even imagine being in damn Baltimore where
I'm sure they're cursing things. You know, they really hate us,
and who knows what they did to Rod in his hip,
(19:20):
and I just I feel I just feel so bad
for him so many I've just been on Twitter. I
really have work to do, and I've just been on Twitter,
and every Cults player a Bible verse about overcoming adversity
or just it's like, wow, I didn't know the Bible
talks so much about being one and four. Um, but
(19:40):
they're they're trying, they're trying to get mentally like they're
they're putting it out there. Ursays weighing, and he's like
that that's how it goes, and you're like, it is,
it is how it goes. I woke up this morning
and checked Twitter to find a half written tweet about
feeling bad for Jonathan Taylor. So it appears that I
passed out mid thought. I unfortunately didn't get to send
(20:01):
any of those out. But this was this was once
his best game. Jonathan Taylor had a ton of really
great plays. It was just Calais Campbell with the block
field goal. That's when I really felt like things started
to crumble. Yeah, and and Frank Wright, who I do love. Um.
I think I may be the only Colts fan left
who loves him. Um. He said that he got too
(20:25):
conservative on that on that third and it was like
third and six third and eight, and you do wonder
knowing what they knew about hot Rod being hurt. We
gotta you know, he's not gonna have a kick for
the game, Like why is even being put that field goal?
Go for it, like just get a first you need
(20:46):
to you need to score touchdowns here and and just
a lot of points left unfortunately off off of his foot. Man,
that was tough. And and Megan, I was on an
eleven hour flight from lund In and I land and
our our producer erand's texting me and Colleen and he's like,
I can't believe the Colts. I think they were up
either yea, they were up a ton. And I'm like, wow,
(21:11):
like old two boots once is gonna get it done,
Like this is great. And then I'm going back and
I'm watching some of the you know, the um Darius
Leonard picking it up and running it all over that
and like watching the highlights, and I'm like, wow, this
Colts team is like really trying good. You know, Frank
right good, Frank. Frank's sweatshirt was really cool on the sidelines, gorgeous.
(21:32):
It's my mom said, it's reigning comfetti. And I was like, well,
you know it is representing all the different kinds of cancer. Um,
so comfetti raining fine, but no, I think everybody looked.
I even thought the pregame when it was like we're
all the same, you know, because we obviously sold the team, um,
but like we're all in this together, I was like,
(21:53):
this is cute, this is fun. Yeah. Yeah, it was tough.
It was tough. So I just we wanted to just
formally apologize to you. Do I seem well, you seem
like you're doing great, and I'm really I think that
everything is gonna be fine today. I don't know what
you have planned, but maybe cancel everything and clear your calendar.
I'm currently watching a Lifetime film called Double Daddy, and
(22:17):
it is washing over me like vix vapor rub you
know it is. It's soothing. It's soothing a part of
me and I have watched um, Jack Doyle push that
man's head into the ground a few times, and that
feels pretty good. Took God, that was so unfortunate. Oh
my god. I was like, wait a second, no, Jack Doyle,
(22:38):
you don't get away with that, and he did. He did.
He's a nice man too, He's a nice man. So
thanks gals, I'm gonna go put real clothes. I'm actually not.
I'm not gonna it's gonna be a robe a robe
date for me. The shower is all I could do.
But double daddy, Oh that's what I call Frank Raich
(23:01):
and Ballard, my double chatties. Go treat yourself, Go make
yourself some tea, maybe fill it with alcohol. Whatever you
need to do to get through today. Thank you, you're
good friends. You're good friends. Alright, Megan, there she goes.
We wish her well on her journey today. I hope
she's all right. I know truly. What else is on
(23:35):
your radar, Rickie? Okay, so there's a lot of other
stuff that we that we really care about. Um. You know,
a video emerged of two Eagles fans making sweet love
in the bathroom in Carolina this week, which you know,
the Eagles had that big comeback. The defense came up
with three interceptions. I think you tweeted out that you
may have lost your voice. You were you're screaming. So
(23:58):
seem like seems like they were ready to celebrate this
win in Carolina. I felt this weird sensation while watching
the comeback, like I was alive again, like I was
actually just feeling emotions overall. In general, I'm still in
shock that they won. They came back from the absolute dead.
They kept hurting themselves every single way possible. It was penalties,
(24:19):
there was a bad snap that led to a safety,
there was a fumble, and then all of a sudden
things changed. Now I had just gotten home from doing
the postgame show for the London game, and I sat down,
turned on all the TVs and I was watching, and
John literally left because the Eagles were so bad. He
was watching and then just was like, I'm gonna go
(24:40):
run Smarron's and go grocery shopping in the third quarter.
So I turned it on. I'm watching and the deep
shot to Quiz Watkins in the third quarter on third down,
it was beautiful. Then Hurts scored on a sneak right there,
and all of a sudden, it was like things started
really turning around. There was a blocked punt, so the
special teams came up huge. As you said, the defense
(25:01):
came up big all day long. Stephen Nelson then had
a massive interception, so it was really up to the
offense to deliver, and they did. They found a run
game at the end to ice the game, although I
almost lost my mind. I think maybe I lost my
voice while I was screaming at Miles Sanders for running
out of bounds. That is not your job at all. Game. Well,
(25:23):
he came in, got a huge game. I'm just gonna
call him Gains from now on hashtag games for Kenny Gaine,
Well he was, he was great. He came up big,
and then they did their thing. Jalen Hurts he scored
the touchdown and did the Cam Newton Superman was amazing,
total savage move. Oh my god, right after the special
teams blocked that punt that you said, and then they
(25:44):
scored to get ahead. He like, does the rip your
your shirt off? You know for the Superman. The fact
that Jalen Hurts did that in Carolina is savage and
the confidence is back for this ego. Same Colleen is
beaming right now just listening. She's like he had this
is the Eagles. Yes, hate this, like they make me
feel all the time and I want to just write
them off and be like I don't care, I will
(26:06):
never care again about them, and then they reel me
back in every second time, and I'm leaving for Philadelphia
in the morning for Thursday Night football, which makes it
so much better because if they had lost coming into
this game after all of the other losses, and then
they have Tom Brady and the Bucks coming in, that
would just be a little bit of a flat crowd.
(26:26):
I can feel it already, but now there's a little
bit more juice. Even Michael Irvin texted me excited and
happy that the Eagles won. I never thought that I
would see the day that that would happen. He's ready
for it. I am just a little worried about my
parents at the game. Is concern right now? I mean
stroke of luck to you found those Eagles green leather
(26:48):
pants that you sent a picture of. Are you going
to wear the on TNF or just for the weekend
in Philly. It's possible. I'm going to wear them on TNF,
So keep a lookout for green leather pants. It's going
to be a big week. I can't wait. I'm so
excited to eat all of the food, all of the sandwiches,
and watched the Eagles beat Tom Brady again. Yeah. Yeah,
(27:08):
let's let's see if that happens. I'll be interested. Another
story calling I wanted to tell you about is. As
you know, I'm super plugged into the Pittsburgh nightly news scene.
Oh you are. Yeah, I like to track that and
what's going on, and I just wanted you to hear Okay,
so you watched Pittsburgh local news, but you don't listen
to audio on movies on a plane. I just want
(27:30):
to get this all straight. Yeah, yeah, just normal, normal
quirks of Ricky Hollywood. But calling I came across this
and I just wanted you to hear it. Now. After
the game, Heinz field crews and first responders found themselves
dealing with something rather unusual. Someone spread their relatives ashes,
partially in the stands and partially on the edge of
the field. The Steelers say that they're aware that it happened,
(27:53):
they do not condone it, and they're working with local authorities.
In Pennsylvania, you are not allowed to spread ashes anywhere
without the property owner's permission. I mean, when I came
across that, I mean, it was unbelievable. So I just
wanted your reaction on that. Do you think that happened?
When you know Big Ben finally threw too deep passes
(28:15):
that resulted in touchdowns, and like maybe they were planning
it for after the game, and they jumped up to
cheer and maybe just spilled the ashes out, or was
it more deliberate than that. That would be such a
terrible accident. I I know you have not watched White
Lotus yet, but for anyone who has, Jennifer Coolidge, who
is incredible in that show, she is carrying around her
(28:36):
mom's ashes. She thinks she loses them at one point.
She's a real hot mess with the ashes. And that's
all I'm picturing is Jennifer Coolidge at the Steelers game
accidentally knocking her mom's ashes over. I would like to
think that this was deliberate and they didn't know that
they were breaking a law of any sort. I just
want to know how somebody knew that that happened, Like,
(28:59):
was it very obvious that someone were spreading the ashes
of their loved one. It's, I guess, an odd place
to do it, but we've seen it happen before. I
guess at sporting events. I mean, yeah, and maybe they
weren't sure. You know, Big Band has his bounce back
game to avoid their four game losing streak, you know,
the last three. Maybe they weren't sure when a win
was going to happen again at Hinchfield, so they took,
(29:20):
you know, control of this situation. I do remember from
Philly in the World Series, Tim McGraw scattered some of
tugs ashes on the picture, so that's I guess that's
technically well he he must have had permission otherwise, Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, it's gonna get you every time, every single time. Alright, Colleen,
I think you know what time it is. What time
(29:43):
is when those drums come in, it can only mean
one thing. It's time for the split end of the week.
Hit me with the sex. Oh that woke me right up,
right back. Aaron really user air and is crushing it
with split end of the week? Is Cadarius Tony? What
(30:06):
do you do with my friend? So the Giants first
round wide receiver was playing the Cowboys ejected in the
fourth quarter for throwing a punch during the blowout loss.
I get it. Division games are different, emotions are high.
There was a little bit of a tussle, but come on, Erica,
he punched a helmet with his hand. Every time I
(30:28):
see this, I don't understand it. What are you thinking
that you get so hot that you are going to
punch a helmet? I mean it is, it is crazy.
So I think the fact that he literally beat O
b J and he has the most receiving yards in
a game by a rookie since for Giants, since he
was on such a high, Like, you're already doing so
well in this game, why are you? You know that's
(30:50):
going to jeopardize you and you're gonna get thrown out
of the game. But yes, the split end of the
week is actually like is it cool to punch a
helmet with a bare hand? You know on hockey they
have gloves on, so then the helmet's kind of come
off and they've got gloves. But here's the thing. I've
I've been angry before, and you know, a bad day
at work, your boss is kind of getting on you.
And I think it's important to come home and specifically
(31:10):
punch a helmet because it shows how tough you really are.
And I know you are very sensitive with your hands
right now, and like hands are a big issue with
you and fingers. I think that it's super important to
get your aggression out and hit harder objects than your hand.
If I punch a pillow, that's lane, right, So if
I need to assert dominance. I need to hit something physical,
(31:31):
so you know, computer screens, um, you know, maybe hydroflask
water bottles that are very, very tough. You know. Well,
I think clearly on the other side of this argument,
I think it's a terrible idea to punch anything that
potentially could break your hand, especially if you're a football
player and a wide receiver that needs those hands to
catch balls. Absolutely, and I'm just let me let me
(31:54):
clear the air here. I'm talking about physically punching hard objects.
I'm not talking about whether Canarius tone he should have
punched him in the head or not. That was stupid.
He was already breaking records for the Giants. They already
had injuries like he needed to be in that game.
Bad job by you. So let us know. Should you
punch hard objects, specifically plastic splitties? Let us know? All right, Erico,
(32:17):
we gotta get out of here. You need to catch
up on your sleep. Maybe blow out those candles. Do
not forget to do that. I gotta go to Philly.
We need self care days and naps and everything else
because there's a lot going on. There's so much going on,
you guys. Rate review, Subscribe make sure you leave us.
