Speaker 1 (00:01):

Commanders football, but we'll speaking of Commander's football. Dude, you
always heard me talk about their, specifically their Instagram page.
The latest hype video for the Ravens game is freaking

(01:06):
the best I've ever seen. It's to Star Wars. It
is absolutely amazing. Like I was just telling Adam Peters
last week that I was like, send your props, to
send my props to your social guys because they're really good,
and He's like, yeah, yeah, they do a great job.
And I watched that this morning and wow, I won't

(01:27):
even tell you.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Just go watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
It's on the Commander's Instagram feed and it's the hype video,
the trailer for the Ravens game coming up this weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
It is fantastic. It'll get you fired up.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
It is six point fifteen and we'll take care some
business here this morning. We've got Brett Michael's tickets to
give away. A little bit later we'll continue with the
Big Word of the week. That's going to be your
chance to win Trans Hiberian Orchestra tickets at the end
of this week tomorrow, and your next letter comes your
way at seven twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
DC's Classic Rock. It's a big one hundred.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
He sees Classic Rocket. It's big one hundred and everybody
wants to rule the world.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Good morning to you, so six twenty four.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Mike Clorio's coming up on the show just after seven
o'clock this morning. Talk about that game coming up this
weekend against Ravens. That's gonna be a battle, that will
be a test for sure. So we'll get to that,
and we have Brett Michael's tickets to give away and
another letter coming away for the Big Word of the
week at about seven twenty this morning. That's good for
tso tickets tomorrow morning? Man, why'd I open my email?

(02:34):
I should never do that this early. No, I open
and see all these emails like, oh, yuck. I just
don't even want I don't even want to go through them.
I don't want to read them. Hey, I saw the
most brilliant idea ever this morning. You know those Halloween
stores that open. We were talking about these.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
The other day.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Thanks, Yeah, they they're gonna they're gonna do a Spirit
Christmas store. Now I read this and thought, wow, why
didn't you guys think of this earlier? You know, Spirit
Halloween stores they pop up typically late summer, early fall,
and they'll you know, go into those abandoned bet Bath
and Beyond locations or Toys or US, or you'll see

(03:13):
them in an empty spot and a strip mall, kind of.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Like the Trump stores.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Just pop up and then they're gone a couple months later,
but they get a butt ton of business because it's Halloween.
Well this year they're saying maybe a new twist. They're
going to try it out with like ten locations, and
when Halloween is over, they're going to switch over to
the Spirit Christmas store.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
That's a brilliant idea.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
It is it'll feature holiday inflatables, decor, apparel, stocking stuffers,
photo ops with Santa. I mean it works, ten locations
will be in the Northeast and that'll be their test run,
and then if it works, they will expanded across the
country in the future.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
But that I don't know why they did not think
of this earlier.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
It's obvious, Like it seems like an obvious.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Thing, like immediately after Halloween.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
What a great idea because people will flood those stores
up until Christmas. So pretty good. I'm looking here to
see if they had any other ideas. I'm thinking, like,
is there stuff they can do the other times, like
the hell the Valentine's Vale, Yeah, or the Saint Patrick's
Day Store or the Easter Store. You never know, man,

(04:22):
But but let's face it, Halloween and Christmas, those are
the two biggies, and you'll make a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I think we'll see what happens, all right, We'll gotta
gotta take a break here.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Six twenty six DC's Class Crocket's Big one hundred. DC's
Class Crocket is Big one hundred and Green Day Good
Written Sid's six point thirty nine Good Morning to U
time once a get fourth things.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I know.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Animals can cross breed, but only if they are very
closely related. This is why you cannot have, you know,
half seal, half tiger. It doesn't work. They have to
have the same number of chromosome or just a slight difference.
Apparently we'll work too. For example, a horse has sixty

(05:07):
four chromosomes and a donkey has sixty two, but they
are members of the same family, so to speak, so
they can have offspring mules. Do you know that's where
a mule comes from horse and a donkey.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
So what could I mate with?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh, and mules have sixty three chromosomes. You should not mate, really,
you should steer clear. That is the slight possibility to reproduce,
and that is frightening.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
A wait, no, world's not ready for that.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
No matter how scrambled a Rubik's cube is, there's always
a way to solve it within twenty moves. I did
not know that. That's interesting, always within twenty moves.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I've always been blown away by the people that can
solve those things. In second, it's just like I think
it took me like three weeks when I had one.
When I was younger.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
I've never solved one like I've never had the patience.
I've just sit down and learn how.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
To never been able to do all all the sides
I've I learned how to do one side.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
I could do one side, I could.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Turn like one side all yellow. I was like, all right,
that's it. I'm good.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
I can do that.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
I'm good. I don't need to do any more than that.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Cocomo, but Beach Boys is about a fictional place. There
is no island off the Florida Keys or in the
Caribbean with that name.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
There should be. I'd go to a place called Cocomo
if it really existed.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
And finally, Denver was originally awarded the nineteen seventy six
Winter Olympics, but in nineteen seventy two the people of
Colorado overwhelmingly voted not to spend the tax dollars on
the games, and so the seventy six Winter Olympics ended
up in Austria instead. That was dumb, Denver. You know

(06:58):
what's business the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Brings to your town? Do you want to talk about growth?

Speaker 6 (07:02):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Look at Salt Lake City pre Olympics and then post Olympics.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah, it was pre when all the roads were crapping.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean they they terrible place. Rebuilt that entire city.
It's fantastic. All right, It is six forty two. We'll
take care of some quick business here. Coming up in
the seven o'clock hour, we'll chat with Mike Florio from
Pro Footballtalk dot Com. Always a pleasure to speak with him,
and we'll talk some commanders and bounce around the league
a little bit. And that's all coming up on DC's

(07:32):
Classic Rockets a Big one hundred.

Speaker 8 (07:35):
Wb I g FM, Washington and iHeartRadio Station, Live from
the Nation's Capital. This is Big Rock Mornings with Jackson
on Big one hundred DC's Classic Rock.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, saying good morning to you at six fifty six.
Coming up in just a few minutes from now, we'll
chat with Mike Florio from Pro Footballtalk dot Com. Get
his take on that upcoming game against Ravens just up
the road here in Baltimore. Plus, so we'll bounce around
the league. That's what Mike Floria just around the corner
on DC's Classic.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Rocket's a Big one hundred.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
DC's Classic Crocket's Big one hundred. Good morning to you, Tom,
once again to checking with Mike Florio from Pro Football
talk dot com fantastic website for all all things NFL.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
You should definitely check it out. Mike.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Brought to you today by Gramophone Gaithersburg. Built your football
game day experience at home with Gramophone Gaithersburg.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
See it, hear it, Live it. Good morning, Mike, how
are you?

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Good man?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Before I even ask you about the the keys to
the game for the Commanders on Sunday just up the
road here in Baltimore, talk to me about Jaden Daniels,
as LeVar Arrington says to me. He says, we're gonna
find out soon if we have a Chrysler three hundred
or a Bentley.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
They look alike, but we're not sure.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I'm not quite sure which one we have yet. How's
he look to you? That's great?

Speaker 9 (09:00):
And I don't know what LeVar bases that on, but
I'll tell you with every quarterback, once you see him
get started, there's a serious bump that arises five six
games into the career where there's enough tape out there
for defenses to see what he does well, what he

(09:21):
doesn't do well.

Speaker 10 (09:22):
How can we confuse him? How can we take away
what he likes to do? How can we force him
into things?

Speaker 6 (09:26):
He doesn't like to do.

Speaker 10 (09:27):
The more film you have, the better equipped you are to.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Try to just mess him up.

Speaker 10 (09:35):
And that's where we find out whether it's Bentley or
Chrysler three hundred. When they have all the information they
need to really kind of crack the code on what
he does, they still can't stop him. With that, then
you know that the guy's special.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
So we're going to find that out soon. And I
talked to him after the game.

Speaker 10 (09:56):
Against the Browns because when you watch him run, it
looks like he still has a higher gear And I
asked man, he said, he does.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
Yeah, so you know, he could run a little faster.
He can probably do a little bit more. He's probably
holding some stuff back.

Speaker 10 (10:06):
He had that great throat to the Army brown He
told me that that he basically on the play before
he was over by the sideline and he told Cliff
kings Very, the offensive coordinator, Hey.

Speaker 6 (10:17):
We need to take advantage of.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
You know, this one on one coverage they're giving us
on the outside.

Speaker 6 (10:21):
So he understands what's going on. They listen to him.

Speaker 10 (10:25):
He's got good ideas, he's got great skills, and it's
been it's been fun to watch and yeah, here comes
the biggest test that they're going to see all year long,
arguably going into Baltimore to take on a great Ravens team.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Right, and the Ravens correct me if I'm wrong, But
obviously really good against the run, but have not been
that fantastic against the passing game.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yeah, look, they've got defensive issues.

Speaker 10 (10:49):
They brought in Danps as an advisor to Zach r
who's the first.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Year defensive coordinator.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
One thing we see about the Ravens defense under John Hartball,
the head coach forever there they get better as the
year goes on, which means they identify their issues and
they fixed them.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
They gave up a lot of points.

Speaker 10 (11:08):
To the Bengals, would have lost that game if the
snap and the hold go better in over time, when
a fifty three yard field goal from Van McPherson would.

Speaker 6 (11:17):
Have caused the Ravens to lose.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
So the defense is the problem, and you know it
could be a shootout because they've got an offense that
can move the ball and score points.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
To pick your poison situation, whether they whether they run
the ball, whether they have a run taken away, and.

Speaker 10 (11:34):
They passed the ball like they did three hundred and
forty eight yards from Lamar Jackson last week.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
So the defense has been the issue.

Speaker 10 (11:41):
The offense is great, they're trying to make that defense better,
and the Commanders don't look like the team where you
want to try to get better defensively right right?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
And is speaking of defense, like the Commanders have come
around there to the combination of Frankieluvu and Bobby Wagner.
They combined for like thirteen tackles four sacks. I think
it was the third time that Lulu recorded multiple sacks
in a game. A defense starting to come along, would
you agree.

Speaker 10 (12:07):
Oh, yeah, absolutely, But there's a difference between Deshaun Watson
right now and Lamar Jackson right now, and that's that's
going to be the biggest test. What can that defense
do to try to slow down and I think confuse
the Ravens offense.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
We'll probably at the point where your best.

Speaker 10 (12:27):
Chance against the Ravens is to make them think you're
loaded up against the run. But what you're disguising is
a defense that's that's designed to cover the pass, and
you dupe them into thinking, you know, maybe audible to
a pass. There's something there that really isn't so it
becomes part of a part of the mind game of

(12:48):
studying the film, looking for ways to make them think
that that what you're letting them do isn't what you're
letting them do.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So let me ask you, as a football guy, do
you think they can pull it off in Baltimore?

Speaker 6 (13:01):
I think they can.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
Look, the Ravens have a bad habit of having a
lead in.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
The fourth quarter and blowing it.

Speaker 10 (13:08):
They did it against the Raiders back in Week two.
There was a great game last year, but the last
time we saw Deshaun Watson play at a high level,
the Browns came back and.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Want to shootout in Baltimore late.

Speaker 10 (13:22):
So, yeah, they can do it. It's not going to
be easy, and you know, this is the kind of
signature win. And I'm scrolling through the schedule. We're talking
about it because I said earlier this may be the
toughest game they face all year, and I don't think
that's inaccurate because I think right now the Ravens are
a better team both sides of the ball, particularly the offense,

(13:45):
than any of the teams that are still left, even
the other teams in the division that they haven't played yet.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
The Eagles and the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, So let's seat up ninety five a bit here,
and you know, socials and everywhere else all abuzz about
blaming Aaron Rodgers for the firing of the head coach
for the Jets.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Well, I'm big on circumstantial evidence in situations like this
because people are never going to tell us the truth, right.
And what we know is Robert Salah convened a meeting
of his coaching staff on Tuesday, and he informed them
that Saniel Hacket, the offensive coordinator and close friend of Aaron.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
Rodgers, was going to be demoted.

Speaker 10 (14:26):
Todd Downing was going to take over to play calling,
and I think it was demoted to the point where
I don't know what Hackett was going to even have
left to do. So the bottom line is, not long
after that sala gets fired. You look at that and
you understand how much power and influence Aaron Rodgers has.
And I reject his effort to say he doesn't have

(14:47):
as much power as he does when he gave that
thirty five million or thereabouts back in twenty twenty three
in salary when they were trying to figure out how
his contract was going to fit under the cap, and
how they're going to afford him and whatnot, after they'd
already traded for him and he had all the she
didn't have to give that back. When you give that back,
that's just not a gift. There's a backside to it.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
Which is, Hey, you're going to listen to me, You're
going to do what I want you to do. I'll
hold this over you if I have to.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
I'm in charge here, and part of the beauty of
being in charge is not having to tell people I'm
in charge.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
You just know it.

Speaker 10 (15:19):
If he was going to be upset by this, if
he was going to be twisted up, if this was
something that he could not endure, there's no way that
Woody Johnson would have fired Robert Sala. So he could
have I believe saved Robert Sala and he chose not to.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
Right right, Here's a random question.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Do you think Belichick ever pops back into the mix
this season.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
For the Jets or anyone?

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, I guess anyone. The Jets is the first thing
that came to mind, but really anyone.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
Well, he hates the Jets.

Speaker 10 (15:49):
He was the coach of the Jets for like a
day back in two thousand, before he wrote on a
cocktail map, Napkin I resigned as ah the nyj and
I don't think that he would go there just because
he had concerns and presumably still does about Woody Johnson,
and Woody Johnson's been.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
The one constance with the Jets for twenty five years.

Speaker 10 (16:09):
Yeah, when you have, as you know in Washington, when
you have this function at the top of the organization,
it trickles down and infects the rest of the team.
And when you change owners, there's a chance you're going
to change the vibe.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
I think that that. Well, I know Belichick wants to
come back.

Speaker 10 (16:26):
Every once in a while you'll see a report Belichick
wants to coach next year.

Speaker 6 (16:29):
Well, of course he wants to coach next year.

Speaker 10 (16:31):
You know, I don't think he's going to fall in
love with being on fifty different media platforms.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
He wants to coach. It comes down to this two things.

Speaker 10 (16:39):
Is there a fan base that is going to clamor
for him, and is there an owner that is going
to be comfortable with either throwing him the keys or
bringing him in in a job where he's just a coach.
But understanding there's a risk that he basically tries to
take over, because if you're the seventy three year old
coach and you report to a GM who's forty, you
can make that guy's life miserable if you want. And

(17:02):
will you trust Belichick to defer to the authority that's
above him when he ran the football operation four years
in New England?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
All right here, final question for you, you have any
updates on DeVante Adams or any speculation as to where
he might end up.

Speaker 10 (17:21):
Well, the Raiders want what they want and you can't
get everything you want second round pick, but you want.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
To get this done because you don't want to pay
him nine hundred and eighty three thousand dollars a week.

Speaker 10 (17:34):
I think the Jets are still in the mix, although
he still don't know why because you've got Garrett.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams that you don't really
have the need there.

Speaker 10 (17:43):
And I don't know that he makes the kind of difference.
You know, you wanted to go to a place where
he turns a real contender into a super Bowl team,
not a non contender, and do a contender and.

Speaker 6 (17:54):
I don't even know if he's good enough to do that.

Speaker 10 (17:57):
I think that that the Bills should be interesting because
they don't have a number one receiver, and I don't
know that they're willing to kind of admit implicitly, you know,
maybe we shouldn't have traded Stefon Diggs because they've been
saying we don't need a number one receiver. So you
go back on.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Your justification for trading Digs.

Speaker 10 (18:15):
If you trade four DeVante Adams, the Steelers are still
out there. I don't know that he makes a huge
difference in that offense because they've got issues with the
offensive line and at the quarterback position. Actually think Russell
Wilson's going to be back this week. They haven't said
it yet, but I have a feeling that's where it's going.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
So I look at it this way.

Speaker 10 (18:37):
There's four more games until the trade deadline, and all
it takes is one injury to one receiver from a
team that we're all even thinking about, and all of
a sudden, there's desperation. And Jason Campbell, who was a
draft pick of Washington years ago when he was with
the Raiders in twenty eleven, he broke a collarbone two

(18:57):
days before the trade deadline and all of a sudden
Carson Palmer who was sitting at home and wanted out
of Cincinnati, and Mike Brown's attitude was, you could just rot.
He breaks the collar bone and they trade him to
the Raiders and they get a big package form in
a boom. It happens like that.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
So that injury that can happen at any.

Speaker 10 (19:16):
Time could change everything with Davante Appas, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Very true, very true.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Mike Flurial, always a pleasure, man. I appreciate you taking
the time and we will chat next week.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
All right, beg you all right, buddy.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Big Rock Mornings with Jackson on Big one hundred.

So your final letter coming about to about this time
tomorrow morning, up before nine o'clock this morning, we'll have
some tickets to give away for Brett Michaels. And then

(20:11):
tomorrow on the show, Don't forget Tim Murray from The
Big Wager and general manager Adam Peters will be on
the show to talk about this week's well, this week's game,
and last week's game.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
We chat with him every Friday.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Right here on DC's Class Crockets Big one hundred, DC's
Class Crockets Big one hundred. I don't think Total gets
enough props for working Kilimanjaro and Serengetti into the lyrics
of a song that could not have been easy, and
you can hear that line and you're like, wow, he

(20:47):
see's over the Sarah and Gettee. Hey, crocs are bad
for your feet. That's that's what pediatrist are saying now,
the feet doctors they're saying they're seeing a lot of
you know, crocks have made the big comeback and all
the kids are wearing them and it is seriously one

(21:07):
of the you know, human kind's most boggling mysteries for sure,
the popularity of crocs. And they're warning kids now not
to wear them all day because they're destroying feet. They say,
It's nothing really earth shattering here. It's like if you
wore flip flops all day or awkward fitting shoes all day.

(21:30):
Some pedietrist who treats kids and teens says he's seen
way more issues than he used to, and they're coming
from wearing crocs all day every day. He said, structural
issues like heel and arch pain and hammer toes, which
is interesting because you have to grip the shoe to
keep them on, so your toes are overworking and then

(21:51):
people end up with hammer toes.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
You ever worn crocs?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, yeah, they still wear them. Yeah. I like them.
I to I'm not gonna I like them. They're butt
ass ugly and I love them. I love them, I
really do. He says he's also seen a lot of blisters.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
He says, fine for casual wear once in a while,
but wearing crocs all day will take a toll on
your feet and ankles and even the rest of your
body if you do it every day. My kids got
like he's got them in all colors.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
He's probably got four pair of crocks.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
He's got white ones, he's got black ones, he's got
blue ones, he's got red ones.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
All different colors.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Does he wear them to school?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Every day. Yeah, I don't have to tell him they're
going to jack up his feet. He wears them all
the time. Which is funny because Crocs were you know,
they blew up and were huge, and then I want
to say, they almost went bankrupt, like they almost went under,
and then they made this massive comeback and now they're
huge again, and I don't get it, but I still

(22:56):
remember when they first blew up.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
It was really like, what are those?

Speaker 1 (23:00):
And it was the movie Idiocricy, Yeah, Idiocracy the I
always found that story really funny that the costume designer
for that show, you know, because it's based in the future,
had gone to the producers and said, here, I have
an idea for these future looking shoes. There's this new

(23:21):
company called Crocs. Here's what they look like. They look
pretty futuristic and they had not blown up yet, right,
And the producer said, no, they were the ugliest ass
things they'd ever seen, and no one, not even in
the future, would wear those. You were Wrongocrature, you were wrong. Yeah,

(23:43):
crocs blow up, man, Yeah they're not. They're not incredibly comfortable,
Like I have a pair of have you ever heard
of UFAs.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, those are the best. Those are the absolute best.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Like, if you're looking for like slide on, slip on
something that's comfortable, that's like walking on a frigging cloth.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
Well, like those those shoes that they issue in prisons.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
A little slippers moccasins is so comfortable.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
The crocs, yeah, I'll slip them on going in and
out of the house and stuff. I don't wear them
all the time. But it's not like they're crazy comfortable either,
you know, they're awkward kind of all right. It is
seven forty four, DC's Classic Crockets, Big one hundred.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
DC's Class Crockets, Big one hundred. He goes a little
black Dog from led Zeppelin. I like it. Nothing like
led Zeppelin gets you movement in the morning.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
It is, well, I guess closer than nine o'clock, we'll
have the Brett Michaels tickets to give away. We'll do
that with what have we learned on the show today,
just before we kick into the big commercial three hours.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Dennis and Today. That's what I was just trying to
figure out. Dennis is in today, he is, He's out tomorrow.
I think he's out tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
He's out tomorrow, and he's not on Fridays anyway.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I think he's out of the office tomorrow too. Yes,
so we have a sports on TAPA. Dennis come up
here just around the corner. We'll chat with him about
the upcoming game. Boy, this weekend is going to be
a big test, looking forward to it against the Ravens,
head up the road to Baltimore, and we will chat
about that game with Adam Peters tomorrow morning as well.
He joins this every Friday morning right here on Big
one hundred, and we will have Tim Murray.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Hang on, hang on, Hey what update? Update update?

Speaker 7 (25:18):
Uh, just got a text from Dennis that says, hey,
I texted Jackson.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
But since that dumb dumb looks.

Speaker 7 (25:25):
At his phone, I don't look at my phone the air,
I want to make sure you knew that I won't
be in for sports today.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
So yeah, there we go.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
So he's not for sports sports today.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Didn't he say Friday. Didn't he say he was going
to be out Friday.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, hold on, I'm gonna pull it up here because
he's the dumb dumb and uh, he's like I texted you.
It's like, yeah, well I'm on the air. I'm not
looking at my phone. Ah, let's see. Uh, yes, he
sent it. He's sent an email that says he's out Friday.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Right, that's what I saw.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah. Here it is Dennis out of office Friday.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Friday.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Today is Thursday, Yes, Thursday. His dumb ass is just
being lazy, is what it is. You probably got a
late start this morning. Probably I meant to tell you.
Oh yeah, all right, Well, Dennis, I wanted to talk
about the football game this weekend. And now that you're
not here today, and now that you're not here tomorrow,
I'm gonna call you and wake you up tonight so
we can talk about football.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
That's what where was I?

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Adam Peters will be on the show tomorrow. Tim Murray
will be on the show tomorrow. Get you Wager straight
for the weekend. You can also always catch him and
I do I tune in for like last minute advice.
You can catch him on the Big Wage or pregames
right here on Big one hundred, and he'll give you
his picks for the week, all right, and they're usually
pretty good. I have to be honest, he's pretty good.

(26:45):
If I lose money, it's usually on me. When I
win money, it's usually because I did something Tim told
me to do, so he's.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Worth listening to.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
All Right, we gotta take care some business here. But
we've got the Brett Michael's tickets before nine o'clock. No
dnnis today, so we'll figure out something to fill there.
It won't take much. It's not that hard to replace.
We'll be back in the flash. It's DC's Classic crack
a Big one hundred, DC's Classic Crockett's Big one hundred
Goo Goo Dolls.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Did I mention Dennis is being lazy today?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
No, Actually I think it's the I think it's the
boss's fault. I think it's a boss.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
But he says he's stuck in traffic.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I think they were carpooling and the boss was running
late this morning, I mean Dennis late, So we can
blame the boss.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
But the way he implied it was that we should
know this, Like that's what That's what I got from
the from the text.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
He always does that I touched you just four minutes ago,
just a case you didn't get it, you'd be like
thirty seconds ago, like, hey, we're about to kick into
Florida man here and uh, speaking of Florida, man, Wow,
I noticed you followed that account too.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
What is it Tampa Certified? Yes, it was.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
It was a great account to follow leading up to
the hurricane because it was just a colle election of
people making videos about preparing for the hurricanes.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
So it was really really an awesome feed for a
couple of.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Days there, and I'm sure it'll be pretty good today
if they have any Wi Fi power.

Speaker 7 (28:12):
Well, it's great to see the people who live in
high rises in Tampa that are staying put, yeah, are
getting footage of it.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Yeah, because they're like, you know, there's some people like
twelve floors up and they'll go out on their balcony
and you can see the floodings. You know, one hundred
miles an hour winds. That's nasty, man, it's nasty. So
godspeed to all those folks that tried to ride that
out down there in Tampa. And again, if you want
to get like real time on the streets updates on Instagram,

(28:40):
the account is Tampa Certified at Tampa Certified and a
collection of I mean everything from weathermen to just your
average Joe's and you know, the big story that was developing.
This should be our Florida man story. This morning was
what's his butt? The guy that's Lieutenant dan is what? Oh, yeah,

(29:00):
the disabled guy who's he's.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Got like a I don't know, I don't know much
about boats. What is it?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
A thirty foot sail boat maybe, and he had it,
you know, just rope to a dock in Tampa and
he's like, I'm gonna write it out in his boat
and he had to thin covered in a tarp. They
would check in on him and go, dude, you gotta leave,
You're gonna die, and.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
He would just poke his head out.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I'm fine, I'm good, And so they call him.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I think he uses crutches.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I don't know if he's missing a leg because I've
never seen his hole, but he got the nickname Lieutenant Danah.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
And there's like several different people that are talking to
him and.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So somebody went out there last night and got video
of him, like right in the middle of the store
and they're like, Lieutenant dan.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
Like he's alive. It's just been this crazy story and
so I have to check this morning to see if
there's any updates that dude.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Stayed in his sailboat rope to a dock through a
cat for hurricane. That's just stupidity, that's just and he
refused to go to a shelter. The police came and
tried to dig him to take him to a shelter.
Here's our Florida Man story, though, although that could.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Have been answered. Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Managed South Florida has been arrested facing fellow he charges.
He's accused of impersonating a well known pizza parlor in
a year's long scheme to defraud them. Jose Alvarez, fifty
five years old accused of posing as a delivery man
for Romans Pizzeria in Miami. He would deliver undercooked or

(30:45):
raw pizzas to tourists staying in hotels. In addition to
delivering bad pizzas, he posted fake flyers around around town
advertising Roma's pizzeria to tourists in hotel rooms.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Please say this went on for several years. What a racket?

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Resulted in complaints to the Better Business Bureau, negative reviews,
and upset customers for the legitimate business because they thought
it was this Roman's pizza. They was delivering them crap right.
He's facing aggravated battery charges as well, after he allegedly
fled from hotel staff and hit a staff member with

(31:27):
his vehicle while trying to get away when they were
trying to pop him for delivering fake pizza. The guy
who owns the shop has owned it for forty years,
and he said they he's never had a complaint from customers.
And then all of a sudden, these customers were complaining
saying they were delivered really bad, undercooked pizza.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
So was he making the pizza himself?

Speaker 3 (31:50):
I don't know what he was doing. It sounds like it, yeah,
it sounds like it.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Why use an actual business?

Speaker 5 (31:55):
Why not just make business?

Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, I don't know, makes it look legit.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
And then if you google, like you know, for reviews
on Roman's pizzeria, it's probably.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Like a five star place.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
You're just set up your own website.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
And he just he just put up fake flyers everywhere
and said he was delivering their pizza and he wasn't.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
It was like a lot of work.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
It went on for years. Man, he must have been
doing all right.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
He must have been doing alright with it, some of
the crappy pizza.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
So he got busted, all right.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's eight twenty nine DC's Classic Rock Big One, DC's
Classic Rocket it's a big one hundred. Well, we have
an update. Lieutenant Dan survived the hurricane on a sailboat.
He made it. He's alive. I find that hard to believe.
For sure he was gonna die.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
You saw an update, Yeah, it said that as of
this morning, he is alive.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
And well, wow, wow, that is that is crazy. Hey,
thanks for bearing with me this morning. I went to
bed last night. I was playing You know what I
discovered is there's a there's a Madden Football app for
your phone. I had no idea you could plain I've
seen that. Yeah, I had no idea you could play
Madden on your phone. And I wish I would have
never discovered it, because that's what I was doing last night.

(33:09):
But I woke up at like, I don't know, midnight,
twelve thirty kuldnebeck sleep.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I've been up since midnight and I came to work
this morning just dying. I drank a pot of coffee
and if I can just get through a couple more.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
Hours, what's your normal wake up?

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Just going to be good?

Speaker 9 (33:29):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Like three fifteen ish somewhere in there, three fifteen am ish,
It depends. Sometimes it's a little earlier. Sometimes it's a
little later. That's how I feel.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
I do earlier than that, But I go to bed earlier,
I think than you.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
If I'm good, If I wake up after midnight anytime before,
I'm screwed.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I don't really have a bedtime, so to speak. That
just depends on when I'm tired. Yeah, that probably would help.
But although I find when I and anybody that gets
up super early could probably relate. I find that when
I go to bed too early, that's when I wake
up too early. Yeah, I go, oh, look, I'll get
a full eight. No you won't, dumb ass. You're gonna
wake up in five hours, and that's gonna be it.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
There's a window.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
So that's kind of what happened to me.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
I must have gone out a little too early last
night and woke up at like twelve.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
God I was.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
It's so frustrating when you can't get back to sleep
and you like, I.

Speaker 7 (34:20):
Still have hours Sunday nights. I haven't slept on a
Sunday night in three months.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Sucked. I got up
and scrolled on my phone.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Jeez, but I got all the I got all updated
on all the Tampa hurricane videos this morning about one
in the morning. That was great checking in on Lieutenant
Dan to see if you made it all right. It
