Paniniamerica dot net. Dan Orlovski from the Mothership will stop
by and Kirk Cousins, the Falcons quarterback will join us
(01:27):
as well. By the way, Falcons have one of the
easier schedules. Now this is just based on win totals
from the previous years, but the Falcons once again have
one of the easiest schedules. They're in one of the
worst divisions, and that should cheer up Kirk Cousins as
he joins us a little bit later on. Also, the
(01:48):
Chargers have an easy schedule. I guess if you look
at they got the Raiders and the Broncos, they play
them twice in their division, but they do face the
AFC North. But then they also have gas against the
Titans and Patriots and Cardinals. So it's always it's interesting
that we do it and when we talk about the
strength of schedule, but the team from last year is
(02:09):
not going to be the team that you're facing this year.
The Steelers Steelers have a rough goal of it because
the Steelers in the AFC North, which will be the
toughest division, or at least going into the season. The
Steelers do not play an AFC North opponent until November seventeenth,
in a Week eleven matchup with the Ravens. Six of
(02:29):
the Steelers' final eight games are within the AFC North.
They have an away game against the Eagles that's Week fifteen,
and then they have a home game with the Chiefs
in week seventeen.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So you're looking at the AFC North, which is probably
the most competitive division top to bottom, and you throw
in we get out of the division and we got
the Eagles and the Chiefs. Wh Yes, Pauling.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Thinking I saw a lot of coverage this morning that
this is bad for the Steelers. Could this be good
for the Steelers that they play games that are less
consequential for them to win their division early, get their
new quarterback working, get their backup quarterback working, and the
back half of the season they're ready to play division games.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, Mike Tomlin might be spinning that message to his team.
I mean, you still have to play the opponents. It's
you know, you would like to have a game where
maybe it's not in doubt in the late and the
fourth quarter that you're able to have an easier win.
Although players will tell you they're no easy wins in
the NFL. But I mean every week you got to
(03:36):
you know, reload and then all we get out of
the AFC North, we got the Chiefs and the Eagles.
By the way, there's one team with no primetime games.
We'll have that for you coming up. One team no,
not ready for primetime. All right, see what's the poll
question today?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I love actually looking at the schedule too, there's a
lot of like grudge matches scheduled.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You have Week one Rams at Lions.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
That's always tasting. Yeah, yeah, I love that. Jared Goff,
Matthew Stafford, heck yeah. Week four Broncos at Jets, the
old Nathaniel Hackett Bowl, which is great. Sean Payton, a
lot of hard feelings there.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I love seeing that.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But you know the report is the Jets tried to
hire somebody to take over for what Nathaniel Hackett was
supposed to.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Do, right, right, but then they kind of spoke poorly
of the job that he did well, he did he
did he did. It was all true. But you don't
say that about my coaching this year.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
If Aaron Rodgers isn't there, Nathaniel Hackett's not there, just
you know when they're they're quietly trying to have a
palace coup to get rid of you and kind of
keep you in your job. But it's almost like it's
not really your job, but you do have a title there.
Week five, you got bills at Texans.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's fun. Stefan Diggs, hmm, it's always tasty. I love
playing your old team first year out.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I love that this was brought up yesterday, I believe,
or maybe the day before. Would the NFL look at
Taylor Swift's concert tour and do they schedule the game accordingly?
And I said, well, it's she'll be in Canada during
the NFL season. I said, look for a game in Toronto,
or when she's in Toronto, looked for a game in Buffalo.
(05:26):
So the Kansas City Chiefs in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Does that sync up with Tata being in concert in
Toronto the same time the Kansas City Chiefs go to Buffalo?
Or Am I just fabricating something here just to get
the Swifties?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know talking, yes, time.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
So that's how huge Taylor Swift has become, that they're
going to manipulate the NFL schedules to the comfort of Taylor.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't know, but if Kansas City plays Buffalo in
Toronto or in Buffalo and she's in Toronto, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Of course I have her tours Stco has all on
my screen at all times. I wish you could have
gone to me first and November fourteenth through November twenty third,
Taylor Swift is playing a series of concerts in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Okay. Do the Kansas City Chiefs play Buffalo in Buffalo?
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Checking?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And then all of a sudden, conspiracy theory manipulating the schedule, Tyler,
so Taylor can go watch the Kansas City Chiefs. Does
anybody have the Kansas City Chiefs schedule up?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of good games this year.
They have a lot of fun game. Yes, Todd.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
I see Chiefs at Bill's November seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Hello, Hello, that's not an accident.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That's not an accident tour that's going to be a song.
Are they still together November seven Yes, yes, I think
there are two. I think they're going to get married.
I think they might too.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I think does anybody want the under that they
don't get married?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Once again, keep in mind wedding face. Yes, I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
How serious are you willing to take a wedding cake
to the face that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey don't
get married?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Todd?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I will ask this question, what if they decide to
be partners like Oprah Stedman, does that count as marriage?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No? I need it to be.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Going down the aisle and exchanging value.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I need an engagement. I'm going to say they're not
going to be all right, I'll take.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The wedding cake to the face. All right, Now you
don't get to eat it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh, I'll still do Yeah, So wedding cake to the face?
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Celtics close out the Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell. I told
you I had a source who said that the injury
was more serious than originally thought and that he wasn't
going to play the rest of the series. And it
proved true that Donovan Mitchell wasn't able to plague. And
now the question is, with one year left on his deal,
is he going to want to go elsewhere because he
(07:58):
can say to the Cavaliers, Hey, I got one year left.
I'm not going to sign a contract extension. Do you
want to trade me? Or do you want to roll
the dice on me playing out my career here next year?
He doesn't have to be the bad guy. He can
leave it up to the Cabs to go all right,
he's not going to re sign here or he wants
to play the last year they if they were going
(08:20):
to sign him to an extension, they would have already
done that, it feels like. But Darius Garland is another
player who could be on the move. But Donovan Mitchell
is a top ten player. I think most people would agree.
I think you're reminded sometimes when you watch him because
he plays in Cleveland, and then you go, well, he
is really good and as valuable to his team as
some of these other stars are to their team. Now
(08:43):
you're going to have packages that are put together. Brian
Windhorst on The mother Ship talked about this, that they're
teams that are ready to already offer a package deal
to the Cavaliers, And yes, the Lakers are one of
those teams, but.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
They're not the only one.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Miami Heat that would be the place that I would
keep an eye on as well, but Miami's going to
do something in the offseason. The question is how big
The Brooklyn Nets reportedly would be a team interested in
Donovan Mitchell. Well, there's a lot of teams that would
be interested in him. The question is what's he going
to cost you? And can the Lakers give up their
(09:19):
three potential first round draft picks and something else, maybe
Austin Reeves and then you could get Donovan Mitchell. And
I haven't seen a trade proposal, at least a package
for Donovan Mitchell. I just know that Wendy was talking
about their teams that are going to be ready to
go if Cleveland's open for business with Donovan Mitchell. The
(09:41):
Mavericks win at the Thunder, they go up three games
to two. Luca had a wonderful night with a triple double.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
With the Celtics, I mean, it's a Celtic performance that
we come to expect. You just have a lot of
players doing a lot of things and we still go yep,
But can they win the title? It doesn't matter. I mean,
as long as everybody's healthy, then I want to see
what the Celtics do when they get to the NBA
Finals Eastern Conference Finals if they played the Knicks. Jason
(10:08):
Tatum had twenty five and they had a comfortable win
over the Cavaliers.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Cavaliers were out man.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Although I do love, you know, Jared Allen, it's an
All Star, Evan Mobley has a lot of potential there.
But I just don't know. They were my team a
year ago. Oklahoma City was my team this year. They
were my team the previous year of taking that next jump,
which they did, and OKC has done it this year.
But you know, you're still watching this team. It's a
(10:37):
pretty easy route to get to the Eastern Conference Finals,
at least so far for this team, because it's littered
with teams that had injuries to their star players. Tatum
had ten rebounds nine assists in addition to his twenty
five points. Now here is something for you. This player
is the thirteenth player in NBA history with at least
(10:59):
six teen thousand points, at least ten thousand rebounds, at
least four thousand assists. So if I combine the regular
season in the postseason, that's the numbers for this player.
He's the thirteenth player Eleven of the other twelve are
already in the Hall of Fame and the other players
(11:20):
Lebron James, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Not the future Hall of Famer Al Horford, Al Horford.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Al Horford, Oh, bloop bloom.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Al Horford is going to go to the Hall of
Fame and see other players in the hall.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
No, because did he win two titles at Florida? This
is the basketball Hall of Fame. Al Horford is going
to be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
These numbers in the NBA and the fact that he
won two titles when he was in college. You factor
that in. He went to five All Star Games. Al
Horford is going to be a Hall of Famer. Congratulations Al,
how about a round of clause Hey, in his career
is not over yet?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yes, Paul. Is he the Frank Gore of the NBA?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Consistently nice seasons and all you sudden you put them
together like that. Dude's got thirteen thousand yards m never
the best at his position in the sport, never first team. Yeah,
I mean Al Horford. When you think Hall of Fame,
you don't think of his name.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
No you don't, you don't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But you need somebody to do the dirty work. Now,
Al's a pretty good defender as well. You know, glue Guy,
glue guy. He's going to be a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
He is.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm I'm going to have him in the express lane.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's going right to the Hall of Fame. He's not
in the Hall of very Good. I think I think
he now he's not going to be first ballot, but
I think.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Al Horford's going into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
They're far more lenient with basketball Hall of Fame, and
that's fine, But yeah, Al Horford. He had a big
night last night. Al Horford. He had ten rebounds.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
What did he gets?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
You?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Twelve at eight uh and an assist?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Al Horford had twenty two, fifteen and five. Paully, how
about that? What was that the entire series?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh, that was last night. Oklahoma Thunder, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You gotta help Shay Gilgis Alexander You you have to
help him because they need that second way. It's like
Anthony Edwards, these are two really good players, but they
need some help. You need the second weapon there, and
that's that's the problem with OKAC. They don't have that
second weapon. But Nuggets at the Timberwolves coming up tonight.
(13:50):
The Nuggets are a slight underdog in that game. But
with OKC, this is a game where and I know
this doesn't sound fair to Shay gilgis out Lexander, he
needs to be Brunson like, hey, you got thirty, you
got to get forty. Like that's what this game calls for,
That's what these moments call for. Hey you got your
(14:11):
that's what you average. You averaged thirty. You gotta get forty.
You have to win that game. And Luca played well,
and Luca even played some defense.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Layoff Lively, Mike, that's blocked by Holdred.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Take it out of there by Jodes, Alexander right, the left,
lost the.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Handle, got it back, looked up with the block side spectacularly.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So what a play by Dods.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's Jones now Follo by Williams with fifty point one
seconds to go Mavericks Radio Network, with Luca playing some
defense there this is where and it once again, it
doesn't sound fair to ask this, but I'm asking this.
You gotta do more than that, Anthony Edwards. You gotta,
(14:58):
you know, put up as many points is possible because
you don't know if Karl, Anthony Towns or anybody else
is going to fill in the gray area there. And
you know that the Nuggets are gonna have a couple
of players like Aaron Gordon has been awesome in this series.
So you got you know, the Joker and Jamal Murray,
you know Michael Porter Junior, the third can go off
(15:20):
as well. You must have that second score tonight. And okay,
see you have to have another score. But sometimes you
got to just take matters into your own hands. And
Jalen Jay Brunson has done that just about every stop
so far during the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And you have to do that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Go sometimes above and be on all right, see what's
poll question today?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
If the NBA MVP was decided today, Okay, dot dot
dot dot dot, you still have Nikola Jokic, Shake Gildas
Alexander Yeah. Uh, where does Aalen Brunson and Luka Doncic
fall in that list?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Brunson is second's second, yes to whom Joker? Yeah, Joker
is still the best player in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And uh, even though Brunson, Brunson's had to do more.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
For his team than Joker has had to do for
his team. But that's just because Denver is a better
starting five, which would imply value. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Have a hard time having Brunson over Joker the way
I did anybody over Michael Jordan because it feels like
Jordan was going to win a title and I still
feel that way with Denver at least getting to the
NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Do you do the like? Well, if we switched teams,
which team would still be good?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Thing?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Because you put the joker on the Knicks, I wonder
if they're still.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I'm not saying that they wouldn't be great, but they
would be different. They would be different. It's truefferent, they
would be different. Well, let me take a break.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
We'll settle on a pole question the only team not
ready for primetime. We'll look at some of the games
the schedule that came out last night. Dan Orlofsky will
join us, and also Kirk Cousins will stop by as well.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Take a break back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Went to dinner last night with my wife and my
youngest daughter. I'll come, it's my birthday.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh yeah, that's right, once a year, and I gave
them a window.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I said, we got ninety minutes door to door and
then I got to get back. I had a cigar
picked out. I had Matthew McConaughey's tequila. My daughter bought
me a bottle of tequila. I'm raising her right, she
bought me a bottle of tequila for my birthday. So
I had it all set up ready to go, and
(18:29):
I said, all right, we'll go to dinner and then
we'll play Happy Birthday and then have cake, and then
I'm going downstairs and leave me alone, and that's what
happened door to door less than ninety minutes. It was
around seventy minutes, and I applauded my wife and daughter
for hurrying up and eating, and got home, had a
(18:49):
great cigar Padrone anniversary, lovely cigar, had my tequila, then
sat there and watched Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yes, I love so much that you told your family
you got ninety minutes, because then I want to go
home and be by myself.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
That's my present.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
That's That's essentially what the subtext was like, Look, you
guys got ninety minutes door to door, because after that,
I want to go be by myself. Yes, yes, yes,
that's and you're welcome, yes, yes, yes, But you got.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
To appreciate them hitting the under seventy minutes like major
League base I was hurrying them up a little bit, right,
But that's like the pitch clock, and you're like, hey,
my daughter is going to order, you know, more food.
I go. I don't know. You know now I know
you pretty well.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
And one of the things you hate is public displays
of attention, believe or not. So I'm sure at the
restaurant they didn't do the they did no, I allow that. No,
the people work at the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
No, you wouldn't allow that. They had the happy Birthday song.
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It is terrible, but you know, I love the people
at the restaurant, just not birthday. Yes, but they played
the song, they brought out a cake, we did some
soake bombs, and then you know, and my wife kept saying,
don't look at your phone because I was looking to
see what time it was. And then I go, okay,
(20:15):
so I had it off to the side and I'd.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Just like touch it real quick, look down and be
like eight thirteen okay, right here we go, do the
math here, okay, yeah, happy birthday. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
And then I went home, had a nice cigar, some tequila,
and then you know, I walk upstairs and my wife goes, uh, okay,
was that good?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I go, yeah, it was great. It was awesome. She goes, Okay,
you wanted to be alone on your birthday? I said, not.
The whole day. I was with a lot of people.
But at the end of my day, huneh, I was
with a nation.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, that's a lot of people. And then I said,
I just needed like forty five minutes. Good you don't
have to deal with this till next year.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Did you reflect on anything? Or you just drinking? Is drinking?
Here you go, yes, marmon.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
I don't know what I've been told. I don't know
what I've been told. Someone here is getting old time.
It is Russian Inigan's all.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Right, everybody comes out of the kitchen. Yeah, the cook
is like who hates who hates that process? More? The
people doing it or the people it's about? Oh, I
think that people who have to do it, who work
at the restaurant. Yeah, that's way worse. Right, it's way worse.
Yes time.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I know you've been called pooh for sneaking out of parties?
Did you ever do that to your actual family where
things were running a little too long? And I'll be
right back, Or you go to the bathroom and they
do not see.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well I said this to somebody who's Irish. I said,
you know, because I left a party, I didn't say
goodbye because goodbye's take forever. And then I said, well,
you can't be surprised at and Irish goodbye if you're Irish.
And he said that's a great point, and I said, look,
you know it takes fifteen minutes to say goodbye, I'll
(22:04):
see you again.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
But you can't bail on a night out with your family. None.
When you go home, they're going to be back there today.
How about we take two cars? I know that's good
producing though, Yeah, god, I know.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And my wife goes, why, I go, Well, in case
you guys want to stay, She goes, we're going out
for you.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I go, why don't we take two cars? All right?
That is amazing?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Alrighty, happy birth. You got ninety minutes, yes, door to door.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Ninety minutes. Patrick family is on the clock, all right.
Schedule release last night.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, now, I did watch a little bit of it
because I am curious how they packaged the schedule together
from the standpoint of who are you playing or actually
when you're playing and where you're playing that team, and
how many conference games do you have in a row?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
How do you end your season?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is there a really tough slated games for somebody that
might be surprising? And you know, I still came away
with m City Chiefs. They're gonna win the Super Bowl.
Like it was just weird. You're watching all of this,
all of this like the kans City Chiefs are Scotty Scheffler.
It's just like they're not going away. By the way,
(23:26):
the PGA Championship getting underway in Valhalla, lovely golf course
in Louisville, Kentucky, and Rory's won there before.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, is Scotty getting to the point where it's Scotty
versus the field? Is he encroaching on tiger Land? Because
it feels like he's in his own little world here.
I don't think we want to acknowledge that world. But
if you look at his numbers here in the last
two years, they are tiger like and this year is crazy.
(24:00):
Has Scotty kind of dipped his toe into the deep
end of Scotty versus the field and it feels that way? Yeah, yeah,
I would say certainly this week it's a fair to ask.
I mean, nobody's hotter, not even close.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, you know, same thing at the Masters it was
Scotty sure versus the field.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, pauling, and he really doesn't have off weekends where
it's like top ten, top ten, miss the cut, miss
the cut. It's always he's always in it. I saw
I think I think it was Brandal Shambilie and the guys.
Yesterday Golf Channel, they said, who's the favorite. He goes, well,
we could take Scheffler off and we'll talk about the
other favorites.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Like he's off the board now almost in a good way.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And then you got Tiger. You know, we want to
see him, and you want to see him over the weekend.
But I just don't know. I think he can swing
a golf club. I just don't think he can walk.
And that's the toughest part of all of this. Now,
if he was on the senior tour, he could take
a golf court, but don't allow you. We'll keep an
eye on that. I don't know how Tiger's doing, Paul.
(25:03):
If you can keep an eye on the leader boards there,
we'll give the audience an update throughout the program. All Right,
NFL teams with the most and least national games, and
you can still have an interesting team that may not
turn out to be a good like the Bears to
me are really interesting and I think they're a playoff
caliber team this year, but that doesn't mean they're going
(25:23):
to be a nine win team, ten win team. I mean,
they could be really interesting and win eight games, but
they're highly marketable and that's what the NFL wants. The
NFL will look at and speaking to people who do
this for a living with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Mike North, who joined us a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He's one of the schedule makers with Howard Katz, and
they want a one liner Sean Payton going back to
New Orleans with the Broncos. That's it. The Harball Brothers
that's another one. All you want is that one liner
Jaden versus Caleb one liner, because that's what you're selling.
(26:03):
And what happens is you'll get the networks. The networks
will fill out a wish list, they'll say these are
the games that we want, and then you submit those.
Now there's certain conferences. Certain you know, there's an alignment
with certain networks, with AFC, NFC certainly. You know the Cowboys,
(26:24):
how many times they're on. Everybody's looking for who do
we want? When do we want them? When can we
get them? And then you're competing with other networks, and
now you're throwing in Netflix is in here, and Amazon's
in the mix, and Peacocks and overseas.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Really really becoming fragmented and trying to get these marquee games.
So do you want to go with the NFL teams
with the most or do we want to start with
the least?
Speaker 4 (26:49):
We always start negative here, Dan, who wants to guess?
There's one team in the NFL that plays no national
TV games, which is hard to do some of yours.
There's you know, there's always you get out national game.
One team has none national games, West.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Against none national games. I think it's obvious. I'll go last, Todd.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
I'm going to say my Genver Broncos because of their
pathetic offense the last couple of years. They're very difficult
to watch, even if bo Knicks gets in there.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, but still have Sean Payton going to New Orleans.
That might be a primetime matchup.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Also too good of a fan base.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
M Yeah, a Seaton. The one team not nationally televised
the Titans.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Close.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, Marvin, to me, it's obvious.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Okay, the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Bloop, bloop, bloop.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
That's what I think. The Carolina Panthers not on TV
this year. Hey, there are four teams that have only
one primetime game.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Might be good for their owner not to be on
national TV unless he's throwing drinks in people. Uh, Carol
will be the lone NFL team to have zero primetime games.
They do play a standalone game against the Giants in Germany.
Sale O to nine thirty am Eastern Time.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Primetime in Munich, though, that's true.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, so they went two and fifteen last season. Uh
so they they're describing them as the early stages of
a rebuild. It sounds like a wow, I'm sorry, what
do you have early stages of a rebuild? Oh, I'm
so sorry. I have a prescription for that. I have
(28:38):
an ointment for that. Who else do you have in there?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Okay? These are the teams that have only one National
TV game? All right?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The Colts, the Patriots. Patriots haven't had one in twenty
three years. The Cardinals, the Drake Matriots. Yes, okay, slap
on the face. The Cardinals. They were cool a couple
of years ago. He was on a car and the
Tennessee Titan seaton. O.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Alright, alright, alright.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Okay, which team? There's three teams that have six National
TV games?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
There are three teams with six Who do you think
they are?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Just yell them out cowboys of course, Chiefs, Joe Chiefs. No,
that's the biggest surprise of the whole list, Aaron Rodgers,
Jets and Rogers Jets is correct. There's one more team
with six national.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Team forty correct.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The Chiefs, Bills, Packers, Lions, Bengals, Eagles, Dolphins, Rams, and
Ravens have five national games. Here's a question, Dan, after
last season and what you saw with the Chiefs coverage
and doing, how do you not put them at the
top of the list with national TV?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Could there be fatigue Chiefs fatigue? NFL doesn't do that,
they cause fatigue.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
But the fact that Kansas City is going to play
in Buffalo at the same time Taylor Swift has a
concert in Toronto.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I think that's just a big coincidence. I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I would think that Canton, But I don't know is
Kansas City? Are they ratings gold? I don't know how
well they they rate now. They're a team that I
want to watch, but like the Cowboys always rate well,
Steelers do Packers. The Jets have the maximum of lotman
(30:36):
of six primetime games. I hope they stack them early
because who knows who's going to be healthy at the
end of the season for the Jets. Yeah, that's a
little bit surprising there. Feel bad for Carolina.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
H can take him like a Tuesday night game, nothing
going on. Put them against like k State, Kansas State
or something, and.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, let them face like Dion's Colorado Buffaloes or something
like the max schedule, good weekend.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Yes, they go on this big run and now then
network's off the flex the Panthers and later in this city,
who gets the last left?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I think they're willing to, uh take that chance. Yeah,
I don't. I don't know if the NFL home office
is like, what if Carolina goes on a run in
embarrassing for us, we got to flex there.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I know we're gonna flex Carolina in. I don't think
that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
M Okay, I'm right with that. I'm still looking at
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You don't play anybody in your division and then that's
all you play until you pop out and play the
Eagles and you pop out and play the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's brutal. That is absolutely brutal.
Speaker 9 (31:44):
Yes, Mark, the Jets have six primetime games in the
first eleven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Okay, Yeah, let's get them out of the way. Yes,
still eligion.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You know if the Jets played this game at home
against the Niners on a Monday night. I wonder if
the Jets crowd if Aaron Rodgers gets to his fifth play,
is there a standing ovation because his fourth play he
got injured last year. Now, this game's in San Francisco
that that won't happen. But if it was at home,
(32:14):
I could see the Jets fans all rising and yeah,
he made it to the fifth play of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yes, Todd, but Rogers appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Does Is that a fun snarky or you gotta be
kidding me. You guys are supposed to behind me. I
just went through whatever that surgery was that he had.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, he leads the league in snark too. I think
I would think he would have a sense of humor
on that.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I do.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All right, let me take a break. Got phone calls.
Did we settle on the poll question? See, I was up.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I was going to put up the h NBA MVP.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
We're also still okay, well why not, let's just see
I'm curious to see where Luca where Jalen Brunson Uh
falls in there and Luka doncic.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Okay, Paully Uh reminded us of how to pronounce Luca
Donic and Niccola Jokic, Nicola Nicola, Joki Jokic.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
J is silence. So the C is a c H. Yeah,
because I've heard it.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Luka don I've actually had this post it note sitting
right here. Yeah, and it says n I hyphen k
u H hyphen l u H and then y O
hyphen k I t c H Nikola Jokic. Because every
time I see his name, I essentially vomit all.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Over the place. I'm like, I don't know how say,
but if it's Jokic, can we call him the yoker.
We've discussed this before.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It's like Thibodeaux and Thibbs or Tibbs and Thibodeau. Yeah,
the nickname has to match the pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Well, Novak Djokovic, man, he's the joker, right, he should
be the yoker? Well, no, because it's he's joking Novak
Djokovic or is it Novak Jokovic. It's Djokovic, So he's
he's but he's wrong, he's oh he is. He's mispronouncing
his name for years. I like when somebody's americanized. Yeah,
(34:04):
sometimes you'll get somebody.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Said ya, you know You've been mispronouncing my name all
this time, and like, okay, yes, Tom, should the Nuggets.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Sell a egg sandwich that would be called the yolks
over the concession?
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Stan?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Wow, is it time for a breaker? Should have gone
to break?
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
About thirty seconds? Eggs, yolks and that's pronounce. Just take
a break? Play the day up next.
Speaker 1 (34:25):

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Yeah, we're just putting up there.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
If the NBA MVP were decided today dot dot dots Okay, Luka, Doncic,
Jalen Brunts and Shay Gildas Alexander and Nikola Jokic, you
still have the joker number one, but you were pretty
strong about Jalen Brunson being two.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yes right, yes, yeah, yes yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Nicola Jokic is still running away with yes yes yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
We discussed before then that leagues love to add awards
if you did playoffs MVP, and it's a separate award
from league MVP. If you can add an award, you
could add a de bait. Why wouldn't you do that
if you're.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The m because you have a finals MVP, so you're
gonna have a an MVP vote before you get to
the finals.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
D Yeah, which means like if the Knicks don't advance,
Jalen Brunston would still get credit for his efforts or
another player.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Leagues love adding new trophies. Yeah, but what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Like you were really valuable until you weren't valuable and
your team didn't win in or go to the NBA Final.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
That's a little wordy on the thing. I kind of yeah,
try to script it, okay, I'll talk to the commissioner,
get his thoughts. Everyone gets a trophy.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Man.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
You look at week one and you got Thursday and
Friday and Sunday and Monday. Yeah, that onslaught.
Speaker 11 (36:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Every year we keep wondering is it too much? Can
they expand too much? Can they go to another country?
Can they go too many countries? Now you got Brazil,
you got Germany in there, you got London in there.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
They're going to keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
They're going to keep doing this because it used to
be or at least we thought, I certainly thought that
we would have a team that would be headquartered in London,
and we thought Jacksonville would do that maybe as a
leverage play. But there's no traction on that anymore. Now
you're going to get these teams that are going to
say to the commissioner, we'll take that game. We want
(37:31):
Brazil to be our country. We want them to be
Eagles fans, or Kansas City. We want Germany, we want
them to be our fit and that's what's going to happen.
Doug in North Carolina leads us off. Hi, Doug, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Well, Dan, I have a hot take, but it's a
sincere hot take. It's not me looking for attention. I
think it's time for professional golf to find a new
fourth major. The PGA Championship has become I think, totally irrelevant,
and it's a shame because I used to love it.
When we had it in August, there was this aura
about it that the pressure was on. If you didn't
win in August, you had a long winner ahead of you,
(38:09):
and it was the one major where you didn't mind
if a journeyman pulled through. Like if a journeyman wins
at a gust that feels like a waste of masters.
But if Patrick Duffner wins the PGA Championship like he
did ten years ago, America fell in love with him,
and I think they either need to replace it or
revamp it because it's no longer the last chance of glory.
(38:29):
It has no identity and it seems irrelevant to me.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Right. I think it's Jason Duffner, not Patrick Duffner, but
brother yeah, long lost brother.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, I think the Players Championship, you know, could be
your major because it feels it sounds like, you know,
part of the problem with the PGA, the PGA Championship,
it just doesn't sound like the other majors you got
the Masters, the Open Championship, the US Open Championship, the
PGA Championship. That sounds like it could be professional golfers,
(39:05):
you know, the pro the teaching pros are out there playing.
The Players Championship sounds a little bit more regal.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Yes, so we tried this before renaming the PGA Championship.
Is it fair to say Jack Nicholas is the greatest
golfer of all time? Yeah, it's almost a fact, right, Yeah,
what if you call it the Nicholas It's a fun name.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Everyone will remember it, and the Nicholas Open, and it's
named after the greatest of all time, and it's got
a name to it. He opens it up while he's
still with us, and you know, you have some tones
of the Golden Bear and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
PG Championship, like you said, it's just a generic name.
There's no downside.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, tud it does seem weird.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
It's just taking the letters of the PGA Tour and
putting championship after It sounds like someone mill did it
and they had to rush to come up with something
in a meeting somewhere.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, Jack did win the PGA a few times, you know,
so they do. They still count as winning a major.
Will and Iowa, Hi, Will? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (40:09):
Thanks for calling?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I was?
Speaker 11 (40:11):
I guess I should say five nine, Dad bought. I
have two questions for you. Number one, your wife? Was
she always like that?
Speaker 6 (40:25):
Like?
Speaker 11 (40:25):
Was she always so chill and cool like that? Did
you kind of mold her into that?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I didn't change her? I just you know, it's it's
give and take. Like you may do things that are
out of character your personality, and it's the other way around.
So after thirty six years, it's give and take and
be like, all right, what do you want to do?
We can go to dinner, but I'd like to come
back and smoke a cigar by myself.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Probably the fastest way to get a wife that's not
chill is to try and mold her into what you
want her to be. Yeah, I wouldn't use That's exactly
the way that it works. I don't I wouldn't use
that expression. I love you, honey, I want to mold
you into It was started.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
With some good basics there, but then I really got
her into something great and I go this outline bit,
that's not it.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
You don't.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
You don't mold them Our two on the way Kirk
Cousins is going to stop by. Also dan Orlovsky from
the Mothership. Hope you'll join us as well, Hour two

Paniniamerica dot net. Dan Orlovski from the Mothership will stop
by and Kirk Cousins, the Falcons quarterback will join us
(01:27):
as well. By the way, Falcons have one of the
easier schedules. Now this is just based on win totals
from the previous years, but the Falcons once again have
one of the easiest schedules. They're in one of the
worst divisions, and that should cheer up Kirk Cousins as
he joins us a little bit later on. Also, the
(01:48):
Chargers have an easy schedule. I guess if you look
at they got the Raiders and the Broncos, they play
them twice in their division, but they do face the
AFC North. But then they also have gas against the
Titans and Patriots and Cardinals. So it's always it's interesting
that we do it and when we talk about the
strength of schedule, but the team from last year is
(02:09):
not going to be the team that you're facing this year.
The Steelers Steelers have a rough goal of it because
the Steelers in the AFC North, which will be the
toughest division, or at least going into the season. The
Steelers do not play an AFC North opponent until November seventeenth,
in a Week eleven matchup with the Ravens. Six of
(02:29):
the Steelers' final eight games are within the AFC North.
They have an away game against the Eagles that's Week fifteen,
and then they have a home game with the Chiefs
in week seventeen.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So you're looking at the AFC North, which is probably
the most competitive division top to bottom, and you throw
in we get out of the division and we got
the Eagles and the Chiefs. Wh Yes, Pauling.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Thinking I saw a lot of coverage this morning that
this is bad for the Steelers. Could this be good
for the Steelers that they play games that are less
consequential for them to win their division early, get their
new quarterback working, get their backup quarterback working, and the
back half of the season they're ready to play division games.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, Mike Tomlin might be spinning that message to his team.
I mean, you still have to play the opponents. It's
you know, you would like to have a game where
maybe it's not in doubt in the late and the
fourth quarter that you're able to have an easier win.
Although players will tell you they're no easy wins in
the NFL. But I mean every week you got to
(03:36):
you know, reload and then all we get out of
the AFC North, we got the Chiefs and the Eagles.
By the way, there's one team with no primetime games.
We'll have that for you coming up. One team no,
not ready for primetime. All right, see what's the poll
question today?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (03:55):
I love actually looking at the schedule too, there's a
lot of like grudge matches scheduled.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You have Week one Rams at Lions.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
That's always tasting. Yeah, yeah, I love that. Jared Goff,
Matthew Stafford, heck yeah. Week four Broncos at Jets, the
old Nathaniel Hackett Bowl, which is great. Sean Payton, a
lot of hard feelings there.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I love seeing that.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
But you know the report is the Jets tried to
hire somebody to take over for what Nathaniel Hackett was
supposed to.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Do, right, right, but then they kind of spoke poorly
of the job that he did well, he did he
did he did. It was all true. But you don't
say that about my coaching this year.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
If Aaron Rodgers isn't there, Nathaniel Hackett's not there, just
you know when they're they're quietly trying to have a
palace coup to get rid of you and kind of
keep you in your job. But it's almost like it's
not really your job, but you do have a title there.
Week five, you got bills at Texans.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
That's fun. Stefan Diggs, hmm, it's always tasty. I love
playing your old team first year out.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I love that this was brought up yesterday, I believe,
or maybe the day before. Would the NFL look at
Taylor Swift's concert tour and do they schedule the game accordingly?
And I said, well, it's she'll be in Canada during
the NFL season. I said, look for a game in Toronto,
or when she's in Toronto, looked for a game in Buffalo.
(05:26):
So the Kansas City Chiefs in Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Does that sync up with Tata being in concert in
Toronto the same time the Kansas City Chiefs go to Buffalo?
Or Am I just fabricating something here just to get
the Swifties?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know talking, yes, time.
Speaker 7 (05:45):
So that's how huge Taylor Swift has become, that they're
going to manipulate the NFL schedules to the comfort of Taylor.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't know, but if Kansas City plays Buffalo in
Toronto or in Buffalo and she's in Toronto, yes, Paulie.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Of course I have her tours Stco has all on
my screen at all times. I wish you could have
gone to me first and November fourteenth through November twenty third,
Taylor Swift is playing a series of concerts in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Okay. Do the Kansas City Chiefs play Buffalo in Buffalo?
Speaker 7 (06:11):
Checking?
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And then all of a sudden, conspiracy theory manipulating the schedule, Tyler,
so Taylor can go watch the Kansas City Chiefs. Does
anybody have the Kansas City Chiefs schedule up?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of good games this year.
They have a lot of fun game. Yes, Todd.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
I see Chiefs at Bill's November seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Hello, Hello, that's not an accident.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That's not an accident tour that's going to be a song.
Are they still together November seven Yes, yes, I think
there are two. I think they're going to get married.
I think they might too.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I think does anybody want the under that they
don't get married?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Once again, keep in mind wedding face. Yes, I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
How serious are you willing to take a wedding cake
to the face that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey don't
get married?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Todd?
Speaker 7 (07:17):
I will ask this question, what if they decide to
be partners like Oprah Stedman, does that count as marriage?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
No? I need it to be.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Going down the aisle and exchanging value.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I need an engagement. I'm going to say they're not
going to be all right, I'll take.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The wedding cake to the face. All right, Now you
don't get to eat it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Oh, I'll still do Yeah, So wedding cake to the face?
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Celtics close out the Cavaliers and Donovan Mitchell. I told
you I had a source who said that the injury
was more serious than originally thought and that he wasn't
going to play the rest of the series. And it
proved true that Donovan Mitchell wasn't able to plague. And
now the question is, with one year left on his deal,
is he going to want to go elsewhere because he
(07:58):
can say to the Cavaliers, Hey, I got one year left.
I'm not going to sign a contract extension. Do you
want to trade me? Or do you want to roll
the dice on me playing out my career here next year?
He doesn't have to be the bad guy. He can
leave it up to the Cabs to go all right,
he's not going to re sign here or he wants
to play the last year they if they were going
(08:20):
to sign him to an extension, they would have already
done that, it feels like. But Darius Garland is another
player who could be on the move. But Donovan Mitchell
is a top ten player. I think most people would agree.
I think you're reminded sometimes when you watch him because
he plays in Cleveland, and then you go, well, he
is really good and as valuable to his team as
some of these other stars are to their team. Now
(08:43):
you're going to have packages that are put together. Brian
Windhorst on The mother Ship talked about this, that they're
teams that are ready to already offer a package deal
to the Cavaliers, And yes, the Lakers are one of
those teams, but.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
They're not the only one.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Miami Heat that would be the place that I would
keep an eye on as well, but Miami's going to
do something in the offseason. The question is how big
The Brooklyn Nets reportedly would be a team interested in
Donovan Mitchell. Well, there's a lot of teams that would
be interested in him. The question is what's he going
to cost you? And can the Lakers give up their
(09:19):
three potential first round draft picks and something else, maybe
Austin Reeves and then you could get Donovan Mitchell. And
I haven't seen a trade proposal, at least a package
for Donovan Mitchell. I just know that Wendy was talking
about their teams that are going to be ready to
go if Cleveland's open for business with Donovan Mitchell. The
(09:41):
Mavericks win at the Thunder, they go up three games
to two. Luca had a wonderful night with a triple double.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
With the Celtics, I mean, it's a Celtic performance that
we come to expect. You just have a lot of
players doing a lot of things and we still go yep,
But can they win the title? It doesn't matter. I mean,
as long as everybody's healthy, then I want to see
what the Celtics do when they get to the NBA
Finals Eastern Conference Finals if they played the Knicks. Jason
(10:08):
Tatum had twenty five and they had a comfortable win
over the Cavaliers.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Cavaliers were out man.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Although I do love, you know, Jared Allen, it's an
All Star, Evan Mobley has a lot of potential there.
But I just don't know. They were my team a
year ago. Oklahoma City was my team this year. They
were my team the previous year of taking that next jump,
which they did, and OKC has done it this year.
But you know, you're still watching this team. It's a
(10:37):
pretty easy route to get to the Eastern Conference Finals,
at least so far for this team, because it's littered
with teams that had injuries to their star players. Tatum
had ten rebounds nine assists in addition to his twenty
five points. Now here is something for you. This player
is the thirteenth player in NBA history with at least
(10:59):
six teen thousand points, at least ten thousand rebounds, at
least four thousand assists. So if I combine the regular
season in the postseason, that's the numbers for this player.
He's the thirteenth player Eleven of the other twelve are
already in the Hall of Fame and the other players
(11:20):
Lebron James, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Not the future Hall of Famer Al Horford, Al Horford.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Al Horford, Oh, bloop bloom.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Al Horford is going to go to the Hall of
Fame and see other players in the hall.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
No, because did he win two titles at Florida? This
is the basketball Hall of Fame. Al Horford is going
to be a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Is I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
These numbers in the NBA and the fact that he
won two titles when he was in college. You factor
that in. He went to five All Star Games. Al
Horford is going to be a Hall of Famer. Congratulations Al,
how about a round of clause Hey, in his career
is not over yet?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yes, Paul. Is he the Frank Gore of the NBA?
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Consistently nice seasons and all you sudden you put them
together like that. Dude's got thirteen thousand yards m never
the best at his position in the sport, never first team. Yeah,
I mean Al Horford. When you think Hall of Fame,
you don't think of his name.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
No you don't, you don't.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
But you need somebody to do the dirty work. Now,
Al's a pretty good defender as well. You know, glue Guy,
glue guy. He's going to be a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
He is.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I'm I'm going to have him in the express lane.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
He's going right to the Hall of Fame. He's not
in the Hall of very Good. I think I think
he now he's not going to be first ballot, but
I think.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Al Horford's going into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
They're far more lenient with basketball Hall of Fame, and
that's fine, But yeah, Al Horford. He had a big
night last night. Al Horford. He had ten rebounds.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
What did he gets?
Speaker 6 (13:08):
You?
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Twelve at eight uh and an assist?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Al Horford had twenty two, fifteen and five. Paully, how
about that? What was that the entire series?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
No?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Oh, that was last night. Oklahoma Thunder, come on, let's go.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You gotta help Shay Gilgis Alexander You you have to
help him because they need that second way. It's like
Anthony Edwards, these are two really good players, but they
need some help. You need the second weapon there, and
that's that's the problem with OKAC. They don't have that
second weapon. But Nuggets at the Timberwolves coming up tonight.
(13:50):
The Nuggets are a slight underdog in that game. But
with OKC, this is a game where and I know
this doesn't sound fair to Shay gilgis out Lexander, he
needs to be Brunson like, hey, you got thirty, you
got to get forty. Like that's what this game calls for,
That's what these moments call for. Hey you got your
(14:11):
that's what you average. You averaged thirty. You gotta get forty.
You have to win that game. And Luca played well,
and Luca even played some defense.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Layoff Lively, Mike, that's blocked by Holdred.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Take it out of there by Jodes, Alexander right, the left,
lost the.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Handle, got it back, looked up with the block side spectacularly.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So what a play by Dods.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It's Jones now Follo by Williams with fifty point one
seconds to go Mavericks Radio Network, with Luca playing some
defense there this is where and it once again, it
doesn't sound fair to ask this, but I'm asking this.
You gotta do more than that, Anthony Edwards. You gotta,
(14:58):
you know, put up as many points is possible because
you don't know if Karl, Anthony Towns or anybody else
is going to fill in the gray area there. And
you know that the Nuggets are gonna have a couple
of players like Aaron Gordon has been awesome in this series.
So you got you know, the Joker and Jamal Murray,
you know Michael Porter Junior, the third can go off
(15:20):
as well. You must have that second score tonight. And okay,
see you have to have another score. But sometimes you
got to just take matters into your own hands. And
Jalen Jay Brunson has done that just about every stop
so far during the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
And you have to do that.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Go sometimes above and be on all right, see what's
poll question today?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
If the NBA MVP was decided today, Okay, dot dot
dot dot dot, you still have Nikola Jokic, Shake Gildas
Alexander Yeah. Uh, where does Aalen Brunson and Luka Doncic
fall in that list?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
Now?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Brunson is second's second, yes to whom Joker? Yeah, Joker
is still the best player in the world.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
And uh, even though Brunson, Brunson's had to do more.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
For his team than Joker has had to do for
his team. But that's just because Denver is a better
starting five, which would imply value. Yes, yes, I.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Have a hard time having Brunson over Joker the way
I did anybody over Michael Jordan because it feels like
Jordan was going to win a title and I still
feel that way with Denver at least getting to the
NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Do you do the like? Well, if we switched teams,
which team would still be good?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Thing?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Because you put the joker on the Knicks, I wonder
if they're still.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Well.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I'm not saying that they wouldn't be great, but they
would be different. They would be different. It's truefferent, they
would be different. Well, let me take a break.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
We'll settle on a pole question the only team not
ready for primetime. We'll look at some of the games
the schedule that came out last night. Dan Orlofsky will
join us, and also Kirk Cousins will stop by as well.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Take a break back after this.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Went to dinner last night with my wife and my
youngest daughter. I'll come, it's my birthday.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh yeah, that's right, once a year, and I gave
them a window.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I said, we got ninety minutes door to door and
then I got to get back. I had a cigar
picked out. I had Matthew McConaughey's tequila. My daughter bought
me a bottle of tequila. I'm raising her right, she
bought me a bottle of tequila for my birthday. So
I had it all set up ready to go, and
(18:29):
I said, all right, we'll go to dinner and then
we'll play Happy Birthday and then have cake, and then
I'm going downstairs and leave me alone, and that's what
happened door to door less than ninety minutes. It was
around seventy minutes, and I applauded my wife and daughter
for hurrying up and eating, and got home, had a
(18:49):
great cigar Padrone anniversary, lovely cigar, had my tequila, then
sat there and watched Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yes, I love so much that you told your family
you got ninety minutes, because then I want to go
home and be by myself.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
That's my present.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
That's That's essentially what the subtext was like, Look, you
guys got ninety minutes door to door, because after that,
I want to go be by myself. Yes, yes, yes,
that's and you're welcome, yes, yes, yes, But you got.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
To appreciate them hitting the under seventy minutes like major
League base I was hurrying them up a little bit, right,
But that's like the pitch clock, and you're like, hey,
my daughter is going to order, you know, more food.
I go. I don't know. You know now I know
you pretty well.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
And one of the things you hate is public displays
of attention, believe or not. So I'm sure at the
restaurant they didn't do the they did no, I allow that. No,
the people work at the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
No, you wouldn't allow that. They had the happy Birthday song.
It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It is terrible, but you know, I love the people
at the restaurant, just not birthday. Yes, but they played
the song, they brought out a cake, we did some
soake bombs, and then you know, and my wife kept saying,
don't look at your phone because I was looking to
see what time it was. And then I go, okay,
(20:15):
so I had it off to the side and I'd.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Just like touch it real quick, look down and be
like eight thirteen okay, right here we go, do the
math here, okay, yeah, happy birthday. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
And then I went home, had a nice cigar, some tequila,
and then you know, I walk upstairs and my wife goes, uh, okay,
was that good?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I go, yeah, it was great. It was awesome. She goes, Okay,
you wanted to be alone on your birthday? I said, not.
The whole day. I was with a lot of people.
But at the end of my day, huneh, I was
with a nation.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
I mean, that's a lot of people. And then I said,
I just needed like forty five minutes. Good you don't
have to deal with this till next year.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Did you reflect on anything? Or you just drinking? Is drinking?
Here you go, yes, marmon.
Speaker 9 (21:04):
I don't know what I've been told. I don't know
what I've been told. Someone here is getting old time.
It is Russian Inigan's all.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Right, everybody comes out of the kitchen. Yeah, the cook
is like who hates who hates that process? More? The
people doing it or the people it's about? Oh, I
think that people who have to do it, who work
at the restaurant. Yeah, that's way worse. Right, it's way worse.
Yes time.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I know you've been called pooh for sneaking out of parties?
Did you ever do that to your actual family where
things were running a little too long? And I'll be
right back, Or you go to the bathroom and they
do not see.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well I said this to somebody who's Irish. I said,
you know, because I left a party, I didn't say
goodbye because goodbye's take forever. And then I said, well,
you can't be surprised at and Irish goodbye if you're Irish.
And he said that's a great point, and I said, look,
you know it takes fifteen minutes to say goodbye, I'll
(22:04):
see you again.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
But you can't bail on a night out with your family. None.
When you go home, they're going to be back there today.
How about we take two cars? I know that's good
producing though, Yeah, god, I know.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
And my wife goes, why, I go, Well, in case
you guys want to stay, She goes, we're going out
for you.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I go, why don't we take two cars? All right?
That is amazing?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Alrighty, happy birth. You got ninety minutes, yes, door to door.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Ninety minutes. Patrick family is on the clock, all right.
Schedule release last night.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, now, I did watch a little bit of it
because I am curious how they packaged the schedule together
from the standpoint of who are you playing or actually
when you're playing and where you're playing that team, and
how many conference games do you have in a row?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
How do you end your season?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Is there a really tough slated games for somebody that
might be surprising? And you know, I still came away
with m City Chiefs. They're gonna win the Super Bowl.
Like it was just weird. You're watching all of this,
all of this like the kans City Chiefs are Scotty Scheffler.
It's just like they're not going away. By the way,
(23:26):
the PGA Championship getting underway in Valhalla, lovely golf course
in Louisville, Kentucky, and Rory's won there before.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
But Scotty Scheffler.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, is Scotty getting to the point where it's Scotty
versus the field? Is he encroaching on tiger Land? Because
it feels like he's in his own little world here.
I don't think we want to acknowledge that world. But
if you look at his numbers here in the last
two years, they are tiger like and this year is crazy.
(24:00):
Has Scotty kind of dipped his toe into the deep
end of Scotty versus the field and it feels that way? Yeah, yeah,
I would say certainly this week it's a fair to ask.
I mean, nobody's hotter, not even close.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Yeah, you know, same thing at the Masters it was
Scotty sure versus the field.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, pauling, and he really doesn't have off weekends where
it's like top ten, top ten, miss the cut, miss
the cut. It's always he's always in it. I saw
I think I think it was Brandal Shambilie and the guys.
Yesterday Golf Channel, they said, who's the favorite. He goes, well,
we could take Scheffler off and we'll talk about the
other favorites.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Like he's off the board now almost in a good way.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And then you got Tiger. You know, we want to
see him, and you want to see him over the weekend.
But I just don't know. I think he can swing
a golf club. I just don't think he can walk.
And that's the toughest part of all of this. Now,
if he was on the senior tour, he could take
a golf court, but don't allow you. We'll keep an
eye on that. I don't know how Tiger's doing, Paul.
(25:03):
If you can keep an eye on the leader boards there,
we'll give the audience an update throughout the program. All Right,
NFL teams with the most and least national games, and
you can still have an interesting team that may not
turn out to be a good like the Bears to
me are really interesting and I think they're a playoff
caliber team this year, but that doesn't mean they're going
(25:23):
to be a nine win team, ten win team. I mean,
they could be really interesting and win eight games, but
they're highly marketable and that's what the NFL wants. The
NFL will look at and speaking to people who do
this for a living with the NFL.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Mike North, who joined us a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He's one of the schedule makers with Howard Katz, and
they want a one liner Sean Payton going back to
New Orleans with the Broncos. That's it. The Harball Brothers
that's another one. All you want is that one liner
Jaden versus Caleb one liner, because that's what you're selling.
(26:03):
And what happens is you'll get the networks. The networks
will fill out a wish list, they'll say these are
the games that we want, and then you submit those.
Now there's certain conferences. Certain you know, there's an alignment
with certain networks, with AFC, NFC certainly. You know the Cowboys,
(26:24):
how many times they're on. Everybody's looking for who do
we want? When do we want them? When can we
get them? And then you're competing with other networks, and
now you're throwing in Netflix is in here, and Amazon's
in the mix, and Peacocks and overseas.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Really really becoming fragmented and trying to get these marquee games.
So do you want to go with the NFL teams
with the most or do we want to start with
the least?
Speaker 4 (26:49):
We always start negative here, Dan, who wants to guess?
There's one team in the NFL that plays no national
TV games, which is hard to do some of yours.
There's you know, there's always you get out national game.
One team has none national games, West.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Against none national games. I think it's obvious. I'll go last, Todd.
Speaker 7 (27:11):
I'm going to say my Genver Broncos because of their
pathetic offense the last couple of years. They're very difficult
to watch, even if bo Knicks gets in there.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, but still have Sean Payton going to New Orleans.
That might be a primetime matchup.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Also too good of a fan base.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
M Yeah, a Seaton. The one team not nationally televised
the Titans.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Close.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Okay, Marvin, to me, it's obvious.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Okay, the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Bloop, bloop, bloop.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
That's what I think. The Carolina Panthers not on TV
this year. Hey, there are four teams that have only
one primetime game.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Might be good for their owner not to be on
national TV unless he's throwing drinks in people. Uh, Carol
will be the lone NFL team to have zero primetime games.
They do play a standalone game against the Giants in Germany.
Sale O to nine thirty am Eastern Time.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Primetime in Munich, though, that's true.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, so they went two and fifteen last season. Uh
so they they're describing them as the early stages of
a rebuild. It sounds like a wow, I'm sorry, what
do you have early stages of a rebuild? Oh, I'm
so sorry. I have a prescription for that. I have
(28:38):
an ointment for that. Who else do you have in there?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Okay? These are the teams that have only one National
TV game? All right?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The Colts, the Patriots. Patriots haven't had one in twenty
three years. The Cardinals, the Drake Matriots. Yes, okay, slap
on the face. The Cardinals. They were cool a couple
of years ago. He was on a car and the
Tennessee Titan seaton. O.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Alright, alright, alright.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Okay, which team? There's three teams that have six National
TV games?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
There are three teams with six Who do you think
they are?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Just yell them out cowboys of course, Chiefs, Joe Chiefs. No,
that's the biggest surprise of the whole list, Aaron Rodgers,
Jets and Rogers Jets is correct. There's one more team
with six national.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Team forty correct.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
The Chiefs, Bills, Packers, Lions, Bengals, Eagles, Dolphins, Rams, and
Ravens have five national games. Here's a question, Dan, after
last season and what you saw with the Chiefs coverage
and doing, how do you not put them at the
top of the list with national TV?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Could there be fatigue Chiefs fatigue? NFL doesn't do that,
they cause fatigue.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
But the fact that Kansas City is going to play
in Buffalo at the same time Taylor Swift has a
concert in Toronto.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
I think that's just a big coincidence. I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I would think that Canton, But I don't know is
Kansas City? Are they ratings gold? I don't know how
well they they rate now. They're a team that I
want to watch, but like the Cowboys always rate well,
Steelers do Packers. The Jets have the maximum of lotman
(30:36):
of six primetime games. I hope they stack them early
because who knows who's going to be healthy at the
end of the season for the Jets. Yeah, that's a
little bit surprising there. Feel bad for Carolina.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
H can take him like a Tuesday night game, nothing
going on. Put them against like k State, Kansas State
or something, and.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, let them face like Dion's Colorado Buffaloes or something
like the max schedule, good weekend.
Speaker 7 (31:08):
Yes, they go on this big run and now then
network's off the flex the Panthers and later in this city,
who gets the last left?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
I think they're willing to, uh take that chance. Yeah,
I don't. I don't know if the NFL home office
is like, what if Carolina goes on a run in
embarrassing for us, we got to flex there.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I know we're gonna flex Carolina in. I don't think
that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
M Okay, I'm right with that. I'm still looking at
the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You don't play anybody in your division and then that's
all you play until you pop out and play the
Eagles and you pop out and play the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That's brutal. That is absolutely brutal.
Speaker 9 (31:44):
Yes, Mark, the Jets have six primetime games in the
first eleven weeks of the season.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Okay, Yeah, let's get them out of the way. Yes,
still eligion.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
You know if the Jets played this game at home
against the Niners on a Monday night. I wonder if
the Jets crowd if Aaron Rodgers gets to his fifth play,
is there a standing ovation because his fourth play he
got injured last year. Now, this game's in San Francisco
that that won't happen. But if it was at home,
(32:14):
I could see the Jets fans all rising and yeah,
he made it to the fifth play of the season.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
Yes, Todd, but Rogers appreciate that.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
Does Is that a fun snarky or you gotta be
kidding me. You guys are supposed to behind me. I
just went through whatever that surgery was that he had.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, he leads the league in snark too. I think
I would think he would have a sense of humor
on that.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I do.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
All right, let me take a break. Got phone calls.
Did we settle on the poll question? See, I was up.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I was going to put up the h NBA MVP.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
We're also still okay, well why not, let's just see
I'm curious to see where Luca where Jalen Brunson Uh
falls in there and Luka doncic.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Okay, Paully Uh reminded us of how to pronounce Luca
Donic and Niccola Jokic, Nicola Nicola, Joki Jokic.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
J is silence. So the C is a c H. Yeah,
because I've heard it.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Luka don I've actually had this post it note sitting
right here. Yeah, and it says n I hyphen k
u H hyphen l u H and then y O
hyphen k I t c H Nikola Jokic. Because every
time I see his name, I essentially vomit all.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Over the place. I'm like, I don't know how say,
but if it's Jokic, can we call him the yoker.
We've discussed this before.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
It's like Thibodeaux and Thibbs or Tibbs and Thibodeau. Yeah,
the nickname has to match the pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Well, Novak Djokovic, man, he's the joker, right, he should
be the yoker? Well, no, because it's he's joking Novak
Djokovic or is it Novak Jokovic. It's Djokovic, So he's
he's but he's wrong, he's oh he is. He's mispronouncing
his name for years. I like when somebody's americanized. Yeah,
(34:04):
sometimes you'll get somebody.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Said ya, you know You've been mispronouncing my name all
this time, and like, okay, yes, Tom, should the Nuggets.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Sell a egg sandwich that would be called the yolks
over the concession?
Speaker 6 (34:15):
Stan?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Wow, is it time for a breaker? Should have gone
to break?
Speaker 6 (34:19):

Speaker 5 (35:32):
If the NBA MVP were decided today dot dot dots Okay, Luka, Doncic,
Jalen Brunts and Shay Gildas Alexander and Nikola Jokic, you
still have the joker number one, but you were pretty
strong about Jalen Brunson being two.
Speaker 3 (35:50):
Yes right, yes, yeah, yes yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
Nicola Jokic is still running away with yes yes yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
We discussed before then that leagues love to add awards
if you did playoffs MVP, and it's a separate award
from league MVP. If you can add an award, you
could add a de bait. Why wouldn't you do that
if you're.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The m because you have a finals MVP, so you're
gonna have a an MVP vote before you get to
the finals.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
D Yeah, which means like if the Knicks don't advance,
Jalen Brunston would still get credit for his efforts or
another player.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Leagues love adding new trophies. Yeah, but what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Like you were really valuable until you weren't valuable and
your team didn't win in or go to the NBA Final.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
That's a little wordy on the thing. I kind of yeah,
try to script it, okay, I'll talk to the commissioner,
get his thoughts. Everyone gets a trophy.
Speaker 6 (36:44):
Man.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
You look at week one and you got Thursday and
Friday and Sunday and Monday. Yeah, that onslaught.
Speaker 11 (36:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Every year we keep wondering is it too much? Can
they expand too much? Can they go to another country?
Can they go too many countries? Now you got Brazil,
you got Germany in there, you got London in there.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
They're going to keep doing this.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
They're going to keep doing this because it used to
be or at least we thought, I certainly thought that
we would have a team that would be headquartered in London,
and we thought Jacksonville would do that maybe as a
leverage play. But there's no traction on that anymore. Now
you're going to get these teams that are going to
say to the commissioner, we'll take that game. We want
(37:31):
Brazil to be our country. We want them to be
Eagles fans, or Kansas City. We want Germany, we want
them to be our fit and that's what's going to happen.
Doug in North Carolina leads us off. Hi, Doug, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (37:46):
Well, Dan, I have a hot take, but it's a
sincere hot take. It's not me looking for attention. I
think it's time for professional golf to find a new
fourth major. The PGA Championship has become I think, totally irrelevant,
and it's a shame because I used to love it.
When we had it in August, there was this aura
about it that the pressure was on. If you didn't
win in August, you had a long winner ahead of you,
(38:09):
and it was the one major where you didn't mind
if a journeyman pulled through. Like if a journeyman wins
at a gust that feels like a waste of masters.
But if Patrick Duffner wins the PGA Championship like he
did ten years ago, America fell in love with him,
and I think they either need to replace it or
revamp it because it's no longer the last chance of glory.
(38:29):
It has no identity and it seems irrelevant to me.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Right. I think it's Jason Duffner, not Patrick Duffner, but
brother yeah, long lost brother.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, I think the Players Championship, you know, could be
your major because it feels it sounds like, you know,
part of the problem with the PGA, the PGA Championship,
it just doesn't sound like the other majors you got
the Masters, the Open Championship, the US Open Championship, the
PGA Championship. That sounds like it could be professional golfers,
(39:05):
you know, the pro the teaching pros are out there playing.
The Players Championship sounds a little bit more regal.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
Yes, so we tried this before renaming the PGA Championship.
Is it fair to say Jack Nicholas is the greatest
golfer of all time? Yeah, it's almost a fact, right, Yeah,
what if you call it the Nicholas It's a fun name.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Everyone will remember it, and the Nicholas Open, and it's
named after the greatest of all time, and it's got
a name to it. He opens it up while he's
still with us, and you know, you have some tones
of the Golden Bear and all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
PG Championship, like you said, it's just a generic name.
There's no downside.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, tud it does seem weird.
Speaker 7 (39:48):
It's just taking the letters of the PGA Tour and
putting championship after It sounds like someone mill did it
and they had to rush to come up with something
in a meeting somewhere.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, Jack did win the PGA a few times, you know,
so they do. They still count as winning a major.
Will and Iowa, Hi, Will? What's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Dan?
Speaker 11 (40:09):
Thanks for calling?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
I was?
Speaker 11 (40:11):
I guess I should say five nine, Dad bought. I
have two questions for you. Number one, your wife? Was
she always like that?
Speaker 6 (40:25):
Like?
Speaker 11 (40:25):
Was she always so chill and cool like that? Did
you kind of mold her into that?
Speaker 2 (40:32):
I didn't change her? I just you know, it's it's
give and take. Like you may do things that are
out of character your personality, and it's the other way around.
So after thirty six years, it's give and take and
be like, all right, what do you want to do?
We can go to dinner, but I'd like to come
back and smoke a cigar by myself.
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:55):
Probably the fastest way to get a wife that's not
chill is to try and mold her into what you
want her to be. Yeah, I wouldn't use That's exactly
the way that it works. I don't I wouldn't use
that expression. I love you, honey, I want to mold
you into It was started.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
With some good basics there, but then I really got
her into something great and I go this outline bit,
that's not it.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
