Speaker 1 (00:04):
Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
partnership with iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome, it's that Good Morning Football, everybody. We have brought
to you by Old Trapper, Beef Jerky, our favorite or
at least my favorite, meet in the bag. It's Tuesday,
October fourteenth. Jamie or at almans I sayo, Isaiah standback
here in Los Angeles. Kyle Brandt in New York. Kyle.
It's like a scepter to the face. Two Monday night
football games on last night. We had to watch them.
We had to like them. You had to keep your

(00:31):
eyelids peeled back. And now we got highlights for them. Man,
I'm feeling angry.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh yeah, I love it.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
And you know I love these little whining pockets of
whining about why do we need two Monday night games?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
You're really crying about too much football? Take you to April.
You'd be begging for anything you get. You take it.
You like it, especially two good games last night. We're
setting the tone right now, start the show.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper. Yeah,
that's right GMFB on a Tuesday. Everybody, Welcome in. Jamie, Mantai,
Kyle and Isaiah. Kyle holds an unusual amount of power
on the show. You know why, He's like the gateway
to a lot of fans from different pockets of the country.
We want to make sure we understand how they feel,
so oftentimes he shows us the back of the New

(01:28):
York Post. But today, Kyle, I just want to check
in on your group chat with your high school buddies
or like your cousins who are Bears fans. What's the
tone today, how are we feeling?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
You know what's interesting, Jamie. You know who's taken a
lot of heat this morning. Bears fans are mad at
Troy Aikman. They feel that he had an agenda or
something against Caleb. There's a lot of tweets about why
it was an Aikman more praising of Caleb.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I think Troy is the best in the business. He
had two good quarterbacks. That wasn't my takeaway from the game. Honestly,
if you're a Bears fan this morning, they won the game.
That's what you're focused on. Like, focus on Caleb winning
the game and lead the commentators alone. I hate that industry,
the whole industry of like commentators, commentators pick him apart.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Let's talk about the football.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
If you give a mouse a cookie, it's like you
guys can't just take your win. You got to come
after Troy too. No, he can say whatever you want
about Jamie knows right, and the mouth is drive cookie.
Give us the whole cookie, Kyle, the whole Highlights from
Bears Commanders.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
All right, cayleb Williams drafted number one overall last year.
You know that, you know Jaydon Daniels Batman drafted number
two overall.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Caleb played high school nearby, and last time they played
it came down to the last play.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
In the same uniforms, in the same stadium. Here comes
the highly belieguer Jake Moody, who just joined the team
about forty eight hours earlier. Bam, last one was blocked.
This one's center cut triple zero's Bears win, Ben Johnson
three in a row, win after the bye, we're lifting
up Jake Moody like he's Rudy Rudeger, carrying them off
the field. The Bears on the same site as infamy

(02:58):
a year ago. Win again on the last play of
the game, Like the Commanders did with their Hail Mary,
this with a twenty five to twenty four, highly entertaining
game with a few high profile mistakes by the Commanders
who fall the five hundred. Afterwards, let's hear from the
two quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
That felt great back in you know, hometown obviously, and
been able to come out with a win like that
is big for us, Big for us as a team, biggest,
you know, big for us as an offense, special team,
just just overall big for us. And you know that
that's a that's a hell of a team over there.
So being able to come out victorious in a dog
fight where you know, things weren't perfect, perfect weather, it

(03:34):
wasn't perfect, and being able to come out victorious is
big for us. So feel great.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
I'm not from this sid appearance. Blame it on the elements.
I mean, at the end of the day, I got
to focus. I get paid to go out there and
focus playing and play out and I had a lack
of focus right there and the cost us a.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Game twenty five, the final great couple of weeks for
the Bears. Commanders got to figure them out. A little
bit tough loss for them. Takeaways from a rain soaked
Monday night game in Washington, Mansie.

Speaker 6 (04:03):
What do you say, what a great game, A great game, entertaining,
entertaining game. I will say, in our first hour, Isaiah
talked about the Bears aren't there yet, and that is true.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
They're not there yet.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
However, Ben Johnson is starting to figure out Caleb Williams.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
He's starting to figure out his quarterback.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
You guys remember the first few weeks of the season
when you started seeing these long, developing routes. They're running
deep routes all day long, and Caleb Williams would have
to add lib. I mean, we remember watching against the
Minnesota Bikings. He's running around, scrambling, doing his whole thing.
Last night, Caleb Williams was getting the ball out of
his hand quick, he dropping back, ball, was coming out

(04:43):
on this very touchdown three steps ball us out to
DeAndre Swift touchdown in contrast to two point conversion.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
He's ad libbing. He's running around.

Speaker 6 (04:53):
So I'm thinking Ben Johnson is starting to figure his
quarterback out. Let's get the ball out of his hands quick.
Let's not give him the opportunity to add lib. Because
when eighteen gets the ball out quickly, good things happen.
When eighteen makes quick decisions, good things happen.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Don't give him to liberty.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
The run behind the line of scrimmage and try to
make something happen. Create these routes where that he can
get the ball out quick and I thought that it
was very impressive at that adjustments that I felt that
Ben Johnson made with his offensive attack, especially with this quarterback,
being able to structure things where it forces him to
not think and just play ball.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
So that's what I got from at Isaiah.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
That's interesting that you bring that up, because if you
go to the series before that pass the DeAndre Swift
out in the flat, he actually missed somebody in the
flat for a touchdown. So as you see the development,
you see the coaching actually setting in and actually being
absorbed by Caleb Williams and he's going out there and
making the corrections. Yeah, in the first hour, I did
state that I don't believe that the Chicago Bears are

(05:51):
representative of what Ben Johnson wants. Yet they're not there offensively,
they are not where they where he wants them to be,
nowhere near it. You talk about fifty eight percent completion
for Caleb Williams, you talk about the fact that they
only have one man that's really making plays for them
right now. DeAndre Swift last night was their leaguing rusher
and their leading receiver. It wasn't a great night, but
to Kyle's point, they won the ballgame, and that's all

(06:11):
that matters. And they've actually won the last three ball games.
They started out owing two and now they're three and
over the last three games, beating Dallas, beating the Raiders,
and now beating the Washington Commanders. And I like to
go out there and put this and put this out there.
Their next three opponents, their next three opponents on Saints,
the Ravens, and the beat go on.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
So three weeks from now they can be six and two.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
And if this is the worst offense that we are
going to see out of the Chicago Bears, with that defense,
what will they be six or three weeks from now?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Man, don't sleep on week ten. I'm already in an
emotional place about Bears versus Scotty. But look at that
sucker at the bottom of the screen. Guys, that's like
the GMFB Invitational. That's a great game. All right, let's
have some fun. Let's have some fun with this, guys.
So you know what's really interesting Bears win twenty five
to twenty four. Last week Bears won twenty five to
twenty four, same exact score.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I'm want to go.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'm gonna put you guys on the spot right now.
The Bears win consecutive games by one point with the
same final score.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
When is the last time a team did that?

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Just guess the year again, two weeks in a row,
win by one point with the same final score.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Shout out a year, each of you. You think the last
time a team in the NFL did that? Nineteen ninety one,
nineteen see that two you are.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Looking at the nineteen twenty six Frankfurt Yellow Jackets.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Got it here.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
They won back to back games seven to six in
nineteen twenty six. I want to shout out Courtney Cronin
from ESPN Courtney R.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Cronin on X incredible pull. And I have even better news, guys.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
We have videotape roll the Frankfurt Yellow Jackets. We have
the video r Yeah, all right, how do you even
tell who done what?

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Team?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
They don't look exactly this in more ways than one.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
They're uniform and other parts of the colors.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Guys, they won seven to six two weeks in a row,
and it is not until now, some ninety nine years later,
that the Bears two weeks in row have won by
one point, by the same score.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
What does all of this mean.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
It means that the Bears are doing something that hasn't
been done in one hundred years, and I think they're
doing it by means of winning games that they would
never win.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
That game was over. I promise you.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
That Bears game last night was over against so many
other Bears teams, I'm hitting the table.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
It was over.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
The Commanders had the ball, even when they fumble and
give it up, the Bears throw a pick or they just.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Missed the kick.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I can only keep saying, I promise you that the
pre Ben Johnson Bears do not win that game.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
And you know.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Jamie, you're asking me a lot about one of my
friends saying, like, on the text chain, so many of
my friends going into this season.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I am text with so many Bears fans. They're so funny.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
They're like, you know, like, I just want something I
can just kind of be proud of.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
I'm not asking for the world.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Like can I just not hate the team?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Can I not be embarrassed? Like?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Can you just give me nine and eight and we
miss out on the wild card. It's like reasonable stuff.
They're already there. They're already there. They're already a.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
Team you can be proud of.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
This team runs, they take care of the ball, they're scrappy,
they play good in the fourth quarter. They're gonna lose
a bunch of games. I don't think they're about to
go on some ten game winning streak. They're gonna lose games,
but they matter, they're important, and they're a team you
can be proud of. And that to me is a
big ice cold beer an old style for mgley Field,
for the head coach, Ben Johnson, it's already changing.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well done, Kyle. It's a great pul watching that old footage.
It would have made sense if guys from highlights from
the nineteen twenties, if they had been interviewed after games,
to have left their leather helmets on, because it wasn't
really that much in a way of like the interaction
perhaps with the intrepid reporter that was there for the
coverage that day. Did you catch Jake Moody after the
game anybody he's getting interviewed by Lisa Salters. I don't

(10:00):
think it happens often. Let's just say where the player decides,
you know what, the game has been done for about
five and a half minutes. I'm gonna keep my helmet
on this entire time during this interview on national television.
I think we have the picture of him Jake Moody.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh well, that's fine.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
I want to see him with with with him getting
carried off. That's Jake Moody being celebrated.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Guys. He never took his helmet off.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's what he looked like in his interview with Lisa Salters.
That's what he looked like. Probably still this morning, he's
waking up in.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Bed with the helmet on. It was.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It was an incredible moment. Shout out to Lisa Salters
for continuing on the interview and be like, Jake, you
want to take your helmet off. I was chuckling the entire.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Time that this was happening. Where it is he hit
the showers.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
As well, Yeah, as he should unstrapped the chin strap. No,
it was still strapped on his face, locked in lost it.
Gotta stay ready anytime. It was really well done. All right,
gotta stay ready. We gotta highlight. We got a second game.
We gotta get to all right, Bill's found This was
the first game of the night Span ABC all over it.

(11:02):
Bill's a littleuncomfortable place for them to be. And last
Sunday Night Football they lose to a division rival. Now
they got to go to the Falcons, and Michael Fennick
Junior in real time is figuring this thing out. You
beat the Bills on Monday Night Football, You upset the
reigning NFL MVP. And that is a young, prolific star
of a running back that is absolutely coming into his own.
We love to rack for John Robinson beautiful, beautiful night

(11:24):
for the Falcons twenty four to fourteen year Final. Here
is the running back relating his night, his star evening
to one of a prolific shooter in the NBA.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
What you got for John?

Speaker 8 (11:37):
It's like a three point shooter, you know when you know,
I heard the analogy like with Steph Curry, Like when
he starts getting in the groove, you know, the basket
looks this big to him and it seems like he
can't miss. So with me, like with the old line,
you know, I feel like with them, they're they're all
three point shooters, Like they're all spot up shooters and
they're just creating space for me for Tie, you know,
to do what we do. So with me, like you know,

(11:59):
I just use the guy given talent with the vision
and stuff like that, and you know, opens up and
when I find those creases, like you know, you got
to take advantage of it, and you know, you got
to make those guys misstackles and you know, make them
not want to be there anymore. So that's what we
did tonight.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I like that parallel because Steph Curry's like that nice
cool athlete with a big old smile on his face, Manti,
and then he'll just kill you from long range. And
that's exactly what Rajan did last night for the Falcons.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Run. Yes, that's exactly what he did.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
Jam And somebody who should also have a big smile
into his face, as Terry Fonsono, the general manager for
the Atlanta Falcons, you're talking about somebody. For the past
two drafts has been on the controversial side of things.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Two years ago.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Drafting Michael Pennix after trading for Kirk Cousins, then this
past draft drafting Jalen Walker out of Georgia, then trading
next year's first round pick for James Pierce Junior. That
defense guys sack Josh Allen four times. The last interception
that was caused was because the d lineman got his
hand on the ball and there's a tip pass for
an interception.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
This defense right now is first and total.

Speaker 6 (13:02):
Yards allowed first and passing yards allowed as the most
sacks for Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Since twenty seventeen.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
To somebody, So somebody that should be smiling really big
guys is Tarry foonsin on to a shoutout to Terry.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
Yeah, shout out to the defense man. Those guys are
taking care of business. Talking about the investments that they've made.
They invested four draft picks this year on defense, two
of which.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Are in the first round.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Are to go ahead and handle the defensive line for
a quarterback pressure situation that they have been pretty much
absent over recent years. And because of that, they went
ahead and held this entire Buffalo Bills offense to less
than three hundred yards. The returning AVP mister Josh Allen
only had one hundred and fifty seven yards pass it.
These guys were only twenty two percent conversion on third down.
This defense and Jeff Oldbricks shout out to you and

(13:44):
what you're doing with this unit, and shout out to
the upper management for giving you the resources.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
The jeff Olbricks shout out is absolutely appropriate. Is a
great night for him. And we have two weeks to
talk about the Bills.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
How their offense looks bad after starting the month scoring
thirty points every single week. This is the first month
of the season and now it's two losses in a
row and they look shaky.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
We have two weeks for that.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Can you give me the video that the people want,
the people demand, Take me to the roof cam and
here we go as it was intended to be seen.
You know, all these these Christopher Nolan fans are like, you.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Gotta see the movie on Imax. You got to see
it on the big well.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
You have to see this Jon run from the roof cam.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
It is why that roof cam is there.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
It is eighty one yards of cinema.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
And the Atlanta Falcons. I'm happy for you. I'm impressed
by you.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
And when you got that kind of punching power, you
can knock out anybody if you did the Bills like that,
Keep your eye on the Atlanta Falcons and keep your
eye on the eye of the sky because it is beautiful.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
It is.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
That's kind of like the you know how code Play
has that one thing that everybody gets caught on. Yeah,
Alanta Falcons had is the team that utilizes this angle.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Is the only team in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
It's like code Play using that only view at their concerts.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's kind of cool when they expose the personal lives
of their fans.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Man.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Yeah, and then they also expose how great Jean Robinson is.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
On you like that.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
But it's a romantic kiss cam and that's how the
Falcons are feeling. Exactly kiss the Yeah, exactly twenty four
to fourteen, your final great games from Monday Night Football.
It delivers again.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
You know, I have someone in here who I'm a
genuine huge fan of fourteen years.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
On Blue Blood's, our next guest is leaving New York.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
He's shipping up to Boston appropriately his newest show, Boston
Blue on CBS. We're gonna play a clip and then
I'm just gonna gush about this.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Dude. Go ahead, if anything changes.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
I'll call you right away.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Done.

Speaker 10 (15:48):
Oh your lab connected. The two we found in the
alley to scratches on Andrea Decker's desk no identify a
full fingerprints.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
But they did track the logo to a local hardware store.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Lab confirmed kerosene in turpentime.

Speaker 10 (16:01):
Like I said, now that's a lead on the fire case.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Looks like you're nowhere on the murder.

Speaker 10 (16:07):
I'm sorry you call that police work, detective. You confirm
two chemicals that any clown could purchase at any superstore
in the United States and throw it in our face
like it's evidence.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
You want to say that again.

Speaker 10 (16:20):
I just said it to you and you didn't do
a damn thing about it.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
That was Boston Blue. This is Donnie Wahlburg, my guy.
What's up, baby? How are you doing?

Speaker 9 (16:30):
Finally finally here with him. I'm very happy about it.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
We tried to make this happen and I'm the one
pushing it and set the table for decades.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
You've been a guy that I've loved. I'm talking about movies,
the TV.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Show, The Burgers, like I go way back with New Kids, man,
like for real, like I was doing all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I was life man.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
Busy, yeah, busy, but blessed.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
You know.

Speaker 10 (16:51):
It's just taking everything in stride and staying grateful for
like all the things you mentioned and more, you know,
my family, my kids, just you know, trying to put
my focus, attention, love and gratitude into doing the things
that I've always wanted to do.

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Right Like we're on a football show right now.

Speaker 10 (17:11):
This was something I always wanted to do and we
did it and not be happy. It's like you got
to get up early and talk to God. I'm like,
that's a problem because and you know.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
What we do.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
We immediately look to the top of the AFC East
leader board.

Speaker 10 (17:23):
Dude, my first place, New England Patriots. Baby, the Bills lose.
I'm national television last night.

Speaker 9 (17:29):
Unreal.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
The Pats are cooking. What is the state of your
emotions right now? For the pictures?

Speaker 9 (17:34):
Happy? Really for mister Craft.

Speaker 10 (17:36):
I went to opening game this year and had the
pleasure of sitting with mister Craft and Jonathan and you know,
I know there are high hopes and I know there's
also realistic you know thoughts there. They're like, we're kind
of going young. You know, they got rid of a
lot of the veterans right before the season. Jabrill Peppers,
who I love, like guys like that were just kind
of sent out and I was like, oh wow, maybe

(17:57):
it's more of a rebuild than we think. But the
young guys are clicking and the everything's kind of working,
and you know, and to see like to see this
team coming around. I dropped mister crafton I'm not name dropping.
He's just one of the nicest guys in the world.
He's just one of the nicest people I've ever met.
And you know, to be able to drop him a
note and hear the joy in his response that is

(18:19):
starting to come together, it's really exciting.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Do you you've been after this, your pat'span, your entire
family for decades.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Do you have like a real specific era or even
a year that like you were like, God, that was
my favorite man.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
Well, fortunately we get like a twenty year era with
Todd and coach Belichick. So it's hard to pick. I
would say my favorite super Bowl. Look, if you're if
you have a heart, your favorite has to be.

Speaker 9 (18:42):
The first one.

Speaker 10 (18:44):
Yeah, after nine to eleven and with all that happened,
you have to love that one.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
But for me, the most important was against Seattle.

Speaker 10 (18:51):
I don't like to pick, you know, Willie McGinn as, Teddy,
Bruce Key, those are my guys, Troy Brown, I love
those guys ty Law and still underrated. All those guys,
they're all Hall of famers in my opinion. But this
game was everything. You know, we had to break through
for that fourth Super Bowl. You know, Troy Aikman's a

(19:12):
very underrated quarterback because he didn't get the fourth one.
You know, Michael Irvin the playmaker underrated. Edmitt Smith is
Emitt Smith is underrated for never got the fourth. Four
takes it to a different place. And somehow that Patriots
dynasty wasn't complete till they got the fourth. And then
you see, once they got the fourth, and along came
five and six.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
And it had been almost ten years since they had
one one. They had this long drought and you got
to be thinking, oh my god, they're gonna give it
to Marshawn.

Speaker 8 (19:39):
We're screwed.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
We're gonna lose another one. And then Malcolm.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
Butler's like, this lightning strike.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think that's a great answer.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
I just didn't know what was gonna happen. You know,
I'm watching and I thought we had the game locked up.
I'm like, all right, they're not getting four. And I
did have confidence because we had Revis, we had Brown
are back there, we had a good group, and I
was like, we're gonna be okay, We're gonna stop these guys.
And yes, when that crazy catch happened, every New Englan
family was like, come on, that's what used to happen

(20:07):
to Bostonians before the Patriots came along.

Speaker 9 (20:09):
You know, Bill.

Speaker 10 (20:10):
Buckner, the rest of Bill Buckner, you know, all those
things would happen to us, Bucky Dent, it always.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
Happened to us.

Speaker 10 (20:16):
And we kind of thought we exercised all those demons
and suddenly here we are with another crazy catch in
the Super Bowl.

Speaker 9 (20:22):
It's like, but you know, I don't blame Pete Carroll.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Interesting, you don't blame him for having rush throw in
that play?

Speaker 10 (20:30):
Why because you figure, you know, if it goes incomplete.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
See, I don't blame Pete Carroll.

Speaker 10 (20:36):
I credit Bill Belichick because they practiced that play and
they didn't cheat, They didn't do illegal videotaping.

Speaker 9 (20:44):
They did what they were supposed to do.

Speaker 10 (20:45):
They scouted, They knew what the Seahawks run at the
goal line, and they were prepared and you saw there's
practice video out there when Malcolm couldn't get around the screen.
And give Belichick credit. I don't like the people discrediting Belichick.
I know North Carolina's bad.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Never mind, this is a good old days. There's a
lot of good old days for you.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
So many new things going on, but so many years
blue Book, so many years, fourteen years. It's you know,
it's kind of analogous to sports, where you kind of
said goodbye to the certain era.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Of the Patriots. What was it like to say goodbye
to that?

Speaker 10 (21:19):
It was very emotional, I have to say, more so
than I thought. When you're in this industry, you kind
of assume things can turn on a dime, right Your
show can go away at any even moment, and I
always thought Blue Bloods would. From the moment I decided
to do it, I said, this is going to last
a long time, and you know, no one believed me,

(21:39):
and I didn't have any secret answer as to why.

Speaker 9 (21:42):
I just felt right.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
But when it ended, it was hard because it's not
just the show we're saying goodbye to. It's not just
the characters in the cast. There are hundreds of crew members.
Like I wanted to see some of our crew members retire,
and I thought I would write it's like when you
start getting into your ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. It's like, Oh,
we're just gonna I'm gonna watch all these people who
I've fallen in love with. I've watched their children grow

(22:04):
up before my eyes, and I thought I'd be with
them for the next decade. And it stopped, and uh,
you know, it was very, very emotional for for a
lot of those reasons.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I feel it.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
I can see it even in your face when you're
talking about I think it was emotional for fans too,
because there's people who watched that a few week for years.
But we move on, and I feel like the Drake
May in this situation is appropriately Boston Blue.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
We're in a new eras have something new to watch?
Tell us more about it?

Speaker 9 (22:33):
Well, we hope it's the new era. We don't want to.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
It's fine.

Speaker 9 (22:37):
We want to be in.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
There talking about Drake or the show.

Speaker 10 (22:39):
No, there was a little lull in between Drake May
and the break was a new quest. Was I would
have personally stuck with Cam Newton a little longer?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Cat?

Speaker 10 (22:47):
I think Cam could have could have turned things around
in New England.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
We have you got takes.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
I love your takes.

Speaker 10 (22:51):
I love Cam's underrated, But okay, let's move on.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
Boston Blue Look.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
When this opportunity came, of course, Boston was the hook
for me right to get me on board. But it
took a minute because I love Blue Blood and I
wanted to make sure if we go forward into this
new world with Danny, that it's doing it with a
creating a new world, creating a new show, a new
cast of characters, and making Danny.

Speaker 9 (23:15):
A fish out of water.

Speaker 10 (23:16):
It to be a lot of fun for me to
do as a playing a New Yorker now in Boston.
All these New Yorkers taught me how to hate Boston
for the last decade and a half on the Blue
bloods Now, I could take those lessons and.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
I'll do you hate Boston? What is nothing? Number one?

Speaker 10 (23:28):
Oh, we go to a Red Sox game, second episode
where the Red Sox great and it's but Danny is
a Mets fan.

Speaker 9 (23:35):
I wouldn't let him be a Yankees. I couldn't go
to that far.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
I have a limit how far in the contract. In
the contract, I.

Speaker 9 (23:42):
Was like, lit Mets, Yes, Yankee, I can swallow Mets.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
I get it. We have so many other things to
hit quickly. Your wife, Jenny, people not home. Jenny McCarthy
also a huge fan.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I've been for years and just love energetic and crazy
and creative and just fun.

Speaker 9 (23:57):
I'll go girl, Chicago girl, like.

Speaker 3 (23:59):
Me, how is Jenny? What's going on? Because yes? Sorry?
In another like, how's Jenny?

Speaker 10 (24:05):
She's great, She's just started season I don't know five
hundred of the mass singer talk about a long run
on a show, and there she is. She's a converted
Boston sports fan. I got her on board, man, she
was we kind of made a deal if I moved
to Illinois, she moves her allegiances to Boston. So really, yeah,

(24:25):
she's all in with the Patriots, the Red Sox, got
Celtics and the Bruins.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
And there's a fascinating thing. Tell me, did you meet
Jenny in this building? We're all right now because upstairs
from here is Watch What Happens Live with Danny Cohen.
You did, this is where it all happened, This is
where what was the story?

Speaker 9 (24:42):
How did you meet?

Speaker 10 (24:42):
We were both guests on Andy Show, and I made
a point.

Speaker 9 (24:46):
I was like, do not flirt with her. She probably
gets hit on all the time.

Speaker 10 (24:50):
I could go there, and and so we were like,
you know, we were being very cordial and we inevitably
flirted anyway, but I didn't have any intention of asking
her out or anything.

Speaker 9 (24:59):
After the show, Andy kept saying.

Speaker 10 (25:01):
You gotta ask her out, You got to ask her out,
and I was like, oh, man, not ask her around.

Speaker 9 (25:05):
He was like, trust me, she's a good girl. You
got to ask her out.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
And I didn't.

Speaker 10 (25:08):
But cut to a few months later she now had
her own talk show and asked me to be a guest.
I was like, hmm, maybe maybe she's asking me because
there was chemistry. I don't know, maybe, And when I
did her show it was over.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
We pretty much. She gave me her phone number.

Speaker 10 (25:25):
After the show, which I was like, uh, and I called.

Speaker 9 (25:29):
I gave it a few weeks. I let it marinate.
Did hard She liked it?

Speaker 3 (25:33):
She did?

Speaker 9 (25:33):
She did.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
I didn't phone number.

Speaker 10 (25:35):
I didn't realize until there was a promo for her,
like two episodes later after I was on the show
and she had a psychic on and she says to
the psychic, am I going to fall in love this year?
And the psychic said, oh yeah, And she said is
his name.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
Donnie Wahlberg and happening here?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (25:51):
I had never called her and I called her that night.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
For sure, of course she didn't.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
I have to ask before you go, new Kids, what's
the state of the nation. I go way back with them.
I think it's so cool that you guys still do
this and still do it so hardcore.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
What's one of New Kids?

Speaker 10 (26:04):
We are starting the second wave of our Vegas residency
in two weeks November first, and at the Park MGM
Adobe Live.

Speaker 9 (26:13):
It's phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
You know.

Speaker 10 (26:14):
I went to see Usher Gosh two years ago and
in the same theater, and you know, he was so
gracious and sat down and told me about Vegas and
what it's like to do it, and we started exploring it.

Speaker 9 (26:26):
And here we are.

Speaker 10 (26:26):
This is the biggest, craziest, awesomest new kid show.

Speaker 9 (26:30):
It's great. Yeah, it's It's phenomenal. It's a Vegas show.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
What's the selist like?

Speaker 11 (26:34):
Huge?

Speaker 10 (26:35):
You know, because in Vegas they're like, do ninety minutes
so we can get everyone to spill into the casino
and spend their money. We're like, oh no, no, no, no,
our fans coming from around the world.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
We're doing at least two hours.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
So it's it's I think thirty songs in two hours.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
There is all.

Speaker 10 (26:49):
I mean, we're flying in the sky, we're in the
audience where we arrive in a subway carments that's really incredible.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
But what are you guys open with?

Speaker 10 (26:56):
Is Hanging Tough is a song produced by Timbaland from
our two thousand and eight reunion album called Twisted Twisted.

Speaker 9 (27:02):
That's the open ricks. Yeah, it's a really great song,
and we do all the classics. It's nostalgia.

Speaker 10 (27:07):
I think we have confetti like six times, is that right?
You know when you go to the New Kids, it's like,
we're going to feel good. We're going to sort of
live into that inner innocent part of us that we
have to put away to have jobs and kids and
divorces and lose our loved ones as we get older.
It's like it's a return to innocence.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
I think.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
You know what, when you go to a twenty twenty
five Patriots game, you go to good and they're going
to win. And when you watch Boston Blue this Friday
night at ten pm, nine pm Central on CBS and
streaming on Paramount Plush, you watch it to feel good.

York City, and I'm going to take calls right now.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Williams is winning. It's all a win. There's no like,
how do you let Drake may fall?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
I think the Commanders and the Bears maybe still make
good choices, but Drake may does look good.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
How about it?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
A repeat caller, we've already it's like a real radio
show with the same callers call with the same calls.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
But let's try something different.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Let's go to the great state of Texas where my
man Shane wants to talk about the Buffalo Bill.

Speaker 3 (29:34):

Speaker 3 (30:33):

Speaker 7 (30:43):
Debut along with you?

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Shane.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I think you're you're heading a good direction. I couldn't
exactly hear what you said, but you're a good kid.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
You got takes. I love your fighter for Halloween.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I don't want you to get you in trouble in Pe,
and I'm glad that you called.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Man, go get back to class, do whatever you gotta do.
What did that kid just say?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I thought he said so umping, but I'm not totally
sure what he said, and I didn't want him get
it wrong because he is I have a kid his
age as well.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Let's go to Josh in Georgia.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
I'm still trying to figure out what Shane said and
if it's gonna get me in trouble or him, Josh
and Georgia.

Speaker 13 (31:19):
Go all right, Kyle, they said no, don't say hey,
so no time for pleasantries. I'm gonna get right to it.
I totally agree with cam steadboo. I agree that he's
an angry run champion, but he's about to run into
a Broncos defense that's got thirty six through six weeks,
and he's gonna be having a Welcome to the NFL
party him and Jackson Dort getting slammed into the ground
by my good friend Nick Benito that I've never met.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
Josh.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I like your attitude, man, I like that You're like, well,
they told me not to say hey, so I'm gonna
send ten seconds explaining how They told me not to
say hey, so I can be economical with my call.
And then you had like ten seconds of just heat
that Nick Benito is gonna slam Cam scataboo and Jackson
darts to the ground.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
You know what, I like the cut of your gyp man.
That was good.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Why don't we do Tim in Florida on line seven.
Let's get a Cowboys call here?

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Why not? It's the last one.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Then we got to go, Tim, unleash the bag here,
give me something good.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Tim and Florida go all right.

Speaker 14 (32:15):
We gotta call this segment angry Ranch. You know why, Kyle,
Because I'm angry guard and I'm gonna ran about the
Cowboys defense. We gotta lock Jerry in his office, nail
the door shut, go out and get a defense and
compliment the offense and win some damn games. And you
know why, Kyle, because they make me cring. That's right,

(32:35):
I said it. They make me cringe. They should make
you cringe too.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Tim's playing on my emotions. He knows.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
I hate the word cringe. I think it's one of
the worst words on the Internet right now because it
just keeps everybody limiting what they're thinking.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
And so judgmental.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
But when you're looking at a team that is what
are they two, three and one and six and five
and fourteen and eighty seven? I don't even know what
their record is the locker combination. I like that Tim's
solution was nail Jerry into the office and then just go,
quote unquote get a defense.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Tim, You're my guy. I like that you call. I
like that you use the C word. Cringe this time.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
And somebody please check on Shane and make sure he's
going to get tater Tott's and chocolate milk. It's almost lunchtime.
That's GMFB radio.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I have to go.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
I think Shane was my favorite caller because he was
ten years old and I got the feeling that this
call is going to lead him into detention and I
kind of rock with that wearable back.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Next time, GMFB Radio, we are out of here. Guys.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
You can start calling now if you want to get
in here. Shane from Texas, you are the winner. You
get the Presidential Fitness Certificate and you get to win

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
