Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yes, Paul, you know these standalone games, Dan, is this
gonna be? Is this gonna be a good night or
a bad night for Sam Darnald.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Reception wines, Speaking of which, the Seahawks look dangerous. They
look like a team built to play in January maybe February.
You got playmakers, you got a really good defense. The
question mark is Sam Darnell. Now, his resurgence has been

(01:57):
a great story. Now he had the resurgence with the Vikings.
He's played well with Seattle, and he is a franchise quarterback.
But you got gaudy numbers last season four thousand yards,
thirty five touchdowns. Vikings went fourteen and three, But then
his biggest moments brought out his worst football. He's zero

(02:18):
and three in big games, high stakes games. You got
week eighteen against Detroit, the divisional title on the line,
nine points, last year's wild card, same story, and then
earlier this year against the Rams, four interceptions in a
twenty one to nineteen loss. So Sam is a franchise quarterback.

(02:38):
But you know the problem is lights get bright and
then all of a sudden, personalities change. And this is
a regular season game. I expect Sam Darnold to play well.
It's the postseason that that's where you have the question
marks here, and Sam does have those question marks attached

(02:58):
to him, and you want to be a you know,
keep in mind, Philip Rivers quarterback rating prior to the
last five minutes of the game was better than Sam
Donald's in that Colt's narrow loss to Seattle. That shouldn't
happen at home. Now, the Colts defense did play really
well to keep them in this game. But if you're Seattle,

(03:22):
the defense did the job, but you got to have
the offense doing you know, few more touchdowns in there.
That was what was I think lost in that game. Yeah,
Philip Rivers played okay, Sam Darnold, that offense didn't do much,
and I think that's where you start to go, Okay,
are you ready to go in these big moments? And

(03:44):
you expect this to be a very tight game like
the first game was, and they could have won the
game even with four interceptions by Sam Donald. The last
time these two teams meant. But that'll be coming up
tonight as the Rams are one and a half point
underdogs over under his forty in a half to a
tongue of Iloa benched, but far more than that, he

(04:05):
was deactivated. So he's the third, he's the emergency quarterback.
You're gonna have quinn Ewers and you're gonna have Zach
Wilson in there. Here's the Dolphins head coach on Mike
McDaniel talking about what went wrong for Twua this season.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Playing quarterback and being a starting quarterback and then being
a franchise quarterback. These are all things that are very complex.
I think this is a player that his MO had
been growth and you know, just exceptional learner, and he's
always evolving. You know, there's compounding variables that he can't

(04:47):
just pinpoint one or two things. I still believe that
his growth can continue. But you know, I couldn't responsibly
play this next game when I thought what the team
needed was available.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh boy, there's a lot to decipher there, because it
felt like Mike McDaniel kept his job this season after
they fired their GM because of his relationship and development
of Tua now he's saying that in fairness to the team,
I'm going to bench and he's going to be my

(05:25):
third string quarterback and you owe him a lot of money.
I don't know if they're willing to admit that maybe
this is a Russell Wilson Denver Bronco type situation, and
it feels like yesterday that's sort of what they did.
But I mean Russ leaving Seattle to go to Denver

(05:47):
and he's probably it was ten years older than Tua.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
To it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
You know, you still see him when he's got Tyreek
Hill and Jaylen Wattell and you go and they got
a really good running game. He was just the weak link.
And I don't think his arm is threatening. It's you know,
it's threatening. If I throw it to Tyreek Hill, I
throw it at seven yards and he takes it seventy
and you get credit for a seventy seven yard touchdown.

(06:14):
You got to throw out to the numbers. I mean,
this is what Philip Rivers is going to find out
again this week against the Niners, is hey, you can
have over the middle. I mean, we're going to force
you to throw out to the numbers. You're not going
to get over the middle. We're going to force you
out to the numbers. That's where these quarterbacks make their living.
Can you throw to the numbers? And I don't think

(06:37):
Tua can do that? Do that and be threatening. He
can throw it over the middle, dink and dunk, those
kind of things, but can you throw to the numbers.
That's what you want to see. If you're a defensive back,
they're going to be like Philip Rivers. Let me see
if you can throw that pass out there in the flats,
because I don't think you can and two of the

(06:57):
same way. Now, it's not all on him, but that's
where you start. When you're spending fifty million dollars on somebody.
Tyreek Hill is gone. Now you start to look at
what is the future. And they're going to find out
if Quinn youwrers can play. Uh we already know sort
of what Zach Wilson is, but let's see what Quinn
Viewers does. Maybe it gives the team a little bit

(07:19):
of a spark. Uh, you could use it. And you're
facing a team that could use his spark too, the
Cincinnati Bengals, because man, Joe Burrow, somebody's somebody's got to
buy him an ice cream cone or something, because he
seems miserable, and he yesterday was asked about continuing to
play football.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
I like playing football for the same reasons that I
wanted to push to come back from injury, some reasons
I want to play. This week, it feels like everything
everybody's trying to do everything in their power to make
me not play football, and I feel like I'm fighting it,
like fighting everybody else.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
I just want to play.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I just want to play ball.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's what I want.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Is there any world in your mind where you're not
the quarterback of the Bengals next year.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I can't see that.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
No, you ever both thought about the possibility of not
being the quarterback here during your career, or you think
about a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Okay, I mean he's got to say those things, but
still I want to see it on the field. I mean,
he can say something in a press conference, he can
be despondent. He can say something after a loss. You
got embarrassed by the Ravens. That's what I want to say, Like,
why are you bad on offense? You're back, you vouch

(08:35):
for your receivers, they got paid, you got shut out.
That's what's kind of alarming here. Yeah, okay, I'm twenty nine.
I'm not having fun of that. Injuries, we're not good. Okay.
You know he fought back after the tow injury, took
off the cast himself. I mean, he wanted to play,

(08:55):
and then all of a sudden, maybe we just caught
him at the wrong time. You start to think, I'm
twenty nine. You know, Mahomes is out, Buffalo's not that good,
Pittsburgh's not that good, Baldemore's not that good. Yeah, Denver,
but they're you know, inexperienced Chargers. Okay, you have our chance.

(09:16):
But that's why when people say, oh, they'll get back,
tell them to be quiet, because they're all these sports
are littered with Well, they'll get back. The Bengals aren't
going back to the Super Bowl, not anytime soon, and
maybe not in Joe Burrow's career. And you wonder does
he want to stay in Cincinnati even though they gave

(09:38):
him total autonomy. It felt like, hey, I want Trey
Hendrickson resigned. Okay, I want t Higgins all right, Jamar
is going to get his country, Okay, got all those
things done, check check, check, chen And then you get
blown out by the Ravens at home, a team you
beat Thanksgiving Night. That's the bigger picture is what is

(09:59):
wrong with Cincinnati because they should still be at least
threatening the betting line in that game against Miami, the Bengals,
they are favored by four and a half. In Miami
it was two and a half. So maybe Joe's in
a better mood. Yeah, it sounds like the biggest problem
in Cincinnati is the front office. Then if Joe Burrow

(10:22):
is the one making all the decisions, fire all those people,
get rid of the GM, he clearly doesn't do anything.
Joe Burrow is the one that's like, no, I said, son,
this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Pauling Joe Burrow feels like a guy who was a
billionaire and now loses most of his money and has
to live like a normal life. He went from Heisman
what sixty touchdowns at LSU, number one pick was it?
His second year in Cincinnati, he makes a Super Bowl
and comes a block away from winning it. He has
had a three or four year run where he was
dubbed the next great quarterback, and now he's living like

(10:53):
a civilian or getting hurt, getting banged up, losing games.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
He's not used to this, but I just don't understand
he's healthy. You got your now Higgins has been out
with a concussion, but you know, I mean, Joe is healthy.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Ish.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's just man, you start to hear and it just
felt like it was a little bit more. I was
surprised with the honesty with when you know, when he
had that press conference a couple of weeks ago. But
then I thought, Okay, you know, you have a bad
day and all right, play play the season out, let's see.
And then all of a sudden, you play against the

(11:28):
raven that this is a game you gotta win. And
I think those two interceptions against Buffalo that changed that game,
changed the Bengals any hopes of trying to make the playoffs.
And it just felt like Joe took that so personally
they were a better team than Buffalo. Yeah, you got

(11:49):
the same record as the Saints. You know, that's not
the plan. Not to say it.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
If you're you're Joe Burrow, no offense in New Orleans,
but you're the If you're Joe Burrow, and that's how
we're playing that.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well, hell no, do you think the Saints say, hey, man,
we got the same record as the Bengals as opposed
to the Bengals. Man, we have the same record as
the same.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
Possible poll question best four team this season Commander's Bengals
Saints other question mark.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Mm. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Based on the hopometer, which we coined in twenty twenty three,
the Saints are actually quite hopeful. They may have found
their quarterback on the cheap the hopometer.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, so two was benched and deactivated, and so Quinn yeers,
come on down. No banner for the Knicks. I still
want to wait and see on this the commissioner. You know,
when we had Reggie Miller on yesterday and I said,
reg Lakers put up a banner like they don't put

(12:47):
up a cup banner. He said, why not? I said,
do you think the commissioner encouraged them to put up
a banner? Once again? If if we're going to buy
into it, we have to believe the players are buying
into it like it means something. Now, it doesn't mean
anything to us. I think it meant something to the

(13:08):
Spurs to play in a big game and be, you know,
a focal point, and they played really well. But putting
up a banner the Knicks should be in the NBA
finals this year. That's how good they are. I'm not
surprised they won, you know, the banner or the cup.
And now do you have a banner? I put the
banner at my practice facility. You know they want to

(13:31):
they want to have a like a kind of ceremony
on Friday for the fans to be like, I don't
know if Ben Stiller and Spike Lee or Timothy Challony
are gonna be going crazy like, yes, that's the that's
the first of another banner that's coming in here. Yes, Todd.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
But if the Knick suddenly reversed course and they say,
you know, come to think of it, we will put
it up. It's gonna be blatant that the NBA forced it,
or well the Knicks even care, or will Adam Silver
even care. The bottom line is I got them to
put the banner up. I don't care even if they
know that I forced the team to do it. That's
my question to you, is, well, does that himself a
care if he forces them to do it, and that's
the reason the banner's up there.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Well, you know, you get through one day of you know,
bad press, and then the banner stays up there. But you,
I mean, you're trying to make something happen, and you're
telling us, man, you're crazy to not buy into the cup, Like, no, hey,
look at what we did to the floors. Don't they
look cool? Yeah, it's still just a basketball game in December. Yeah, Martin,

(14:39):
But you acting.

Speaker 10 (14:40):
Like the Knicks of the Lakers, where they have tons
of championship banners. The Knicks have division title banners up
at the garden, so they can't be like, oh, you
know what, we only celebrate the big championship one. You
don't have two banners. You have a bunch of division
title banners up there.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, there's plenty of room up there. Tons.

Speaker 10 (14:58):
Yeah, they got Harry Styles and Billy Joel and Fish
banners up there too.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
What's Harry Styles in there for? Selling out? Like I
think so shows or something more than that. He's about
like thirteen days in a row or something. Wait, you
get a banner?

Speaker 10 (15:13):
Yes, Billy Joel has a banner.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Well, Billy Joel deserves one.

Speaker 10 (15:16):
Fish has a banner, of course, and Harry Styles has
a banner. Fish, oh Fish, New Year's Eve at the Garden.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
That is true every single every single okay, okay, how
many musicians? How many bands have banners? Oh? No in
sports arenas? Oh that question banner worthy?

Speaker 8 (15:35):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yes? Does Coldplay get a banner after the Coldplay cam
caught that couple? Oh? Like, I don't know what what
constitutes we're going to have a banner up there?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Maybe like where you play years and years or a
long run at a certain venue.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay, I don't know how many other bands have banners?

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (15:59):
You doing fifteen nights at the Garden for Harry Styles.
That's a hell of a run.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Okay, but is that banner worthy? I think it is?
Ok And I think it is. What other place it? Well,
it's the Garden too.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (16:14):
Mark jay Z has a banner up in Barkley Center.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Wow, nobody goes there so they wouldn't see it.

Speaker 10 (16:21):
He sold it out. He opened up Barkley Center and
he got a banner. He sold out maybe the first five.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Wasn't he a part time owner of that? J j
Z fat?

Speaker 6 (16:30):
That's kind of weak, Like Dan like, you're gonna hang
a banner and here if you look, I don't know,
And he shows Dan Patrick did here.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, yeah, good point. Okay, Then over

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Get ready five days of football and it starts tonight.
A game too big for Thursday night. It'll be uh
Seattle hosting the Rams Davante Adams. I guess is still
a game time decision. I'm not expecting him to play,
but if he does, great, Uh. If not, then pookin

(18:31):
Akua come on down by the way. Pookinakua making some news.
He let me get this story right. He says that
NFL refs are the worst. They want to be on TV,
So I'm guessing he's joking. He was streaming with Aiden Ross.

(18:52):
Do you have the sound, Marvin, here's Pooka Akua talking
about the referees the.

Speaker 9 (18:58):
Works because there's some of the voe and like these guys
want to be These guys are lawyers and like they
want to be on TV.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Too, brother, like the game, you don't think he's He's
texting his friends.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
In the group chat, Like yo, you guys just saw
me Sunday Night football like that.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
That wasn't p I like, but I called it was Seriously,
did you do that? I mean, these guys are noble
human beings too. Okay, what does the NFL do? Do
you brush it off? He's saying it in kind of
you know, I always think there's a little bit of
truth in every bit of kidding. And when you say, oh,
you know, we're just loose, we're in the hallway, we're

(19:35):
having some fun here, but you're still saying that the
officials may make some calls so they can be on TV. Yeah, Paul,
does the NFL.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Give him an off the record warning through his agent
or the team because he's a likable player, And it
wasn't at the podium, it wasn't after the game or
an official NFL interview capacity any chance.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
The NFL's Competition Committee states that on the league's Football
Operations website that criticism of officiating has always been considered
conduct detrimental to the league. Such conduct is often met
with a fine. All right, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Miles Garrett.

(20:22):
They've been fined for public criticism of officials in recent years.
The NFL did not immediately respond to a possible fine
for Pooka Nakua. Okay, yeah, I want to be on TV. Hey,
can I make my shirt a little tighter looking good? Yes, Todd,

(20:42):
I think to me.

Speaker 9 (20:43):
You wink at this one. But it does set a present.
As long as I say something in jest on a
podcast or something, I can kind of navigate my way
through getting a point across and not getting a fine.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Because and then Travis Kelcey on his podcast was talking
about Patrick Mahomes returning to the Chiefs.

Speaker 12 (21:01):
He's he's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to
this football thing, and he's going to make sure that
he comes back stronger than ever and hopefully the Chiefs
can get him back as as soon as possible. I
know right now is kind of right around that week
one or the beginning of the season next year. So
I know he's going to be doing everything he can
to get back back out on that field for the

(21:21):
Chiefs as soon as possible.

Speaker 8 (21:23):
Man.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
So the Chiefs, not we Chiefs, right. Maybe maybe I'm
reading between the lines there, but Todd says we with
the Bronco.

Speaker 9 (21:37):
I know that there's been reinvaded, and it sounds like
he is.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Play it again because it's it's the Chiefs.

Speaker 12 (21:44):
He's he's a fearless, fearless warrior when it comes to
this football thing, and he's going to make sure that
he comes back stronger than ever and hopefully the Chiefs
can get him back as as soon as possible. I
know right now it's kind of right around that week
one or the beginning of the season year, so I
know he's going to be doing everything he can to
get back there, back out on that field for the

(22:05):
Chiefs as soon as possible.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Man, where's the WII gotta be a we what?

Speaker 9 (22:12):
Yes, he doubled down saying Chiefs twice, no two opportunities
to say it is.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
And I think he's trying to wish this into reality,
Like you know, he's gonna be there. He's gonna be
there week one, and he's gonna give it everything's gone
and we're gonna then the Chiefs are gonna get him
back week one.

Speaker 8 (22:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
See, Yeah, he.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
Definitely strikes me as a power of positive thinking guy.
And where like you know, if I just say it
enough times and put it out there in the universe,
the universe is going to make it happen. That his
knee will be healthy for week one.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, it's a long road and you know we've we've
made improvements on certain surgeries, you know, Achille surgery. Even
the procedure that show had it wasn't labeled Tommy John.
But maybe that's where we're trending that you know, you
don't have to have a year off from pitching, but

(22:57):
with the knee and the a CL and an l CL.
And we had RG three on yesterday and he talked.
He said I would advise him and Micah Parsons to
not play next season because he didn't feel well after
he had his surgery the following year.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yes, it'll be interesting to see how The Dan Patrick
Show covers the Chiefs next season when if Travis and Patrick.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Evac, Yes, say that did the joke? Yea the dam
Patrick Show. Yeah, I wish you guys the best. Now
that was in two years. In two years, how you guys.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Are gonna be interesting to see how the dam Patrick
Show covers things.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yes, yes, Paul, you know RG three said that yesterday
about you know, if I were them, I would take
a year off. That's a thirty five year old retired
guy speaking, not a you know you don't.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
He's looking back on when he had his surgery.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah, Mahomes probably thinks to himself, I want to take
every year I can and skipping a year. Guys don't
think about skipping years in the moment.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Well, no, he's not going to skip a year. But
what RG three is saying is looking back, he didn't
feel good. He didn't feel comfortable with his knee until
the following season. So a year removed from having the surgery,
then he said he started to feel a little bit better.
All right. A couple of phone calls Zack and Knoxville.

(24:16):
Good morning, Zach, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 13 (24:19):
Hey Pee, thanks for taking my call to talk about
the Joe Burrow situation. Whoo who bro, Just do your
rehab and shut your mouth. But I would say if
I was the Raiders or I know they won't do
it in division with the Steelers. If I'm those two teams,
I try to mortgage my future to get him. If
you were advising an NFL team, who would you advise

(24:42):
to go all in on Joe Burrow to get him
out of.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
There Minnesota five minutes? Because you know, at some point
justin Jefferson's gonna go what am I doing here? Hopefully
that's today? Yeah, Like, what am I doing?

Speaker 4 (24:56):
What?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did he have two catches for eleven yards his last game.
It's the best receiver in football, or at least one
of the top three. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
See, I'm just wondering what Zach was so upset about.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I don't know. Zach was like, habit, shut your mouth.
He did his rehab to get back to this point.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
All right, it's a chill out man. The hell you're
so Manimon, shut your mouth?

Speaker 8 (25:16):
Boooo.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yes, Marvin, Wait, they asked me a question. They're missing.
I don't want to be up here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
The Raiders historically of taking on they know how to
take on this disgruntled Randy Moss disgruntled goes out to
the Raiders. Didn't work out that well. Carson Palmer, his
career was going south, and he goes out to the Raiders.
The Raiders have the number two pick in the draft
right now.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, no, they Joe Burrow's not leaving anytime soon. They
unless he pulls a Carson Palmer and says, I just
don't want to play here anymore. He still wants to.
You know, when when you take time away from the
game and then you go, man, I love it. I
still want to do it. I get paid sixty million dollars.

(26:00):
I don't care how much money you have. You never
have enough money. Elon Musk he doesn't. He still takes paychecks.
It's on like Jeff Bezos doesn't go, I got wait,
I got enough money here, Joe Burrow, come on, I
don't really know that's something that should be celebrated. But yeah,
of having too much money, Yeah yeah, Paulie.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
When Carson Palmer worked his way out of Cincinnati, he
was thirty years old and just had a four and
twelve season.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, blop coincidence, man, Yeah, similarities. Yeah, but Joe got
everything you wanted. He got everybody signed, he got what
he wanted. It's just he got injured. And he gets
injured every year. And I think, you know, when you
play like that your last year in college. He has

(26:46):
sixty touchdown passes, he's throwing two NFL wide receivers, he's
smoking cigars after games during games. Yeah, he could have.
He could have gone to the line of scrimmage. He
could have said, hey, hold this a gar while I
throw another touchdown pass here, and then all of a
sudden you struggle and then all of a sudden the
reality sets in. But the window was open this year,

(27:12):
certainly in the AFC.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yes, what does he as Zach Taylor window? Oh, we
spent a lot of time talking about like other coaches
in their hot seat, Kevin Stefanski man. But yeah, my,
you know down in Miami, Mike mcam McDaniel, I don't
hear a lot of Zach Taylor's talk.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, yeah, I wonder if he survives this, I wonder.
But then they asked Joe Burrow, who do you who
do you want to play for? Why don't you help
us with the cam Ward said he wants to be
involved in the Titans coaching search. Yeah, clearly my question
of course, you know, was Caleb Williams involved in the

(27:54):
coaching search with the Bears? Of course he should have been. Right.
Let's see JD and Bozeman. Hi, JD, what's on your
mind today?

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Good morning, DP. Hey, just to talk a little about
the Knicks banner and maybe throw out some Fish facts
for you. A few years ago, Fish did a thirteen
night run over New Year's did not repeat a song.
It was called the Baker's Deadn't and if you were
lucky to be there, you got to donate.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
All right. Once again. The closest I've been to a
fish concert was a restaurant in the garden and guys
were going to a fish show. We were in a
steakhouse and they said, do you want to go? And
all four of them took out a hit of Mollie

(28:43):
and I said, I'm good. Guys. They go, Man, you're
going to miss out. I said, if you take that,
you might be missing out too a little bit. I
don't know if I don't know if I need to
be artificially manipulated to enjoy a show. You know what's
wrong with just watching the show? Like people drop acid?

(29:05):
You know if they went to Woodstock and like, yeah,
it isn't the reason you're going to watch the music
listen to music. Oh, I'm getting too old. I'm too old.
Let's see Jesse and Fort Lauderdale. Hi, Jess, what's on
your mind?

Speaker 16 (35:59):
Mind Hey, dan thanks for having me on. Again you
got to check on your Band Green day as, Well
i'm sure at some.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
Point BUT i.

Speaker 16 (36:08):
Had a selfish ask for, you and also just a
question as. Well BUT i was going through my parents'
basement the other day AND i found an old souvenir of.
Mine it's a small football FROM espn Wide world Of
sports down there In Disney, world and it's got a
bunch of Old Sports center like anchor sayings on, there
AND i Believe Don flago is on there as. Well
SO i was hoping to selfishly ask IF i could
get that sent in and sign from. You but then

(36:30):
the follow up question would BE i was always, curious,
like how'd you guys come up with all those, catchphrases
BECAUSE i, mean the old days are awesome on the
Old Sports, center AND i just think they're hilarious. TOO
i always catch.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Myself you can stay on the, Hold tyler will give
you information you want to send it, In i'll sign
that for. YOU i think a lot of it was
just born out of boredom that we were doing, highlights
so many highlights every single, night and most of the
time when you saw the, highlight that would be the
first time THAT i saw the, highlight and you were

(37:01):
trying to buy some. Time so when you're watching the
highlight and you haven't seen it before and you got
information in front of, you sometimes if you gave a
you can't stop, him you can only hope to contain.
Him was my way of buying a little bit of
time to then IF i had to let the highlight
catch up to me or vice. Versa so there was

(37:23):
some artistry around, that but also having fun because you,
know the whiff came from just playing whiffleball with my
brother in the. Backyard when i'd strike him, Out i'd
go the. Whiff you can't stop, him you can only
hope to contain. Him was usually about a guy who
wasn't a great, player but he had a great, moment
Like Benny Di stefano might have been the first guy

(37:44):
THAT i used. THAT i think he was with The
astros and he may have hit a. Triple, well it
takes a little time to get to third, base just
ask me in high. School BUT i would, say you
can't stop, him you can only hope to contain, him
and it was BECAUSE i was trying to buy some
time there In fuego was really that Was Marv albert

(38:07):
and that was when The rockets were playing in the,
playoffs maybe the, finals And marv kept saying. That somebody
Saying cassol is on, fire but he kept saying, it
and then a cameraman, said you, know The spanish version
is el. Fuego during commercial, BREAK i came back out

(38:27):
and all of a, SUDDEN i said el. Fuego spanish
teacher From pennsylvania wrote in a couple of days later,
SAID i think you mean to say n fuego on,
fire not the. Fire and those are just you, know
some of the catchphrases that we had gone was playing.
Stratomatic when you roll the, dice it'd be, like h you,

(38:49):
know one ten, gone and you, know when you're playing
against somebody rolling the, dice you have a baseball card
in front of. You And Gary miller came up with.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
That, Yeah AND i don't think you guys could have
realized it being In bristol in the mid, nineties of
how those caught on with younger guys being like twenty
four year years. Old In, chicago a guy would go
up to a girl and then the girl would just
walk away and we would go in the lift and
that's came From Sports center Or Gone, gone and it
caught onto like the bar.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Scene Madden, dayton and then it got out of hand
and then we started making fun of us doing catchphrases
and tried to do the silliest. Ones, Hey, matt what's
on your?

Speaker 15 (39:30):
Mind Hey, DAN i a long time caller or a longtime,
listener third time, caller BUT I i wanted to piggyback
on the coaching In cincinnati BECAUSE i think it has
a lot to do With Joe burrow's lack of success.
Recently and my opinion Is Zach taylor should. Go and
my real question is is who do you think would

(39:51):
be the best coach to take him over the? Position
and would we go with somebody tenured or you, know
somebody we know or find somebody.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
NEW i HAVE i have no idea on a coaching search, There.
MATT i would have no, idea you, know as far
as candidates, GO i have no. Idea but you, know
The bengals Kept Marvin lewis for a long long. Time,
yeah too. Long james In New. Mexico, Hi, James.

Speaker 14 (40:21):
Hey, dope thanks for taking. Call yeah to that, point
