to my brother, He's like, take Seahawks, take the points.
I was like, texted Dennis. Dennis is like, because you
know he's a Seahawks.

Speaker 4 (02:38):

their defensive starters are out.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
He goes, I don't. I don't feel good about it.
I'm like, all right, So I was like, what, you
know what, I'm gonna go opposite. I'm gonna take forty
nine ers who were favored anyway, and I won that.
It was all the other parlay crap and garbage that
over end since crap like that to where I just
ended up in the hole instead.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I just bet the one bet.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
I'd have been fine, but no, So Zach will help
our not Zack, Zach, I think of Zach Sealey. Tim
Murray will help us out. At about seven to ten
this morning, Zach will be on the show on Tuesday
morning next week following the game to give us a recap.
All right, we got to take a break here, but
this morning we finish up the big word of the week.
At seven twenty, We're gonna give you some tickets for

(03:27):
Trans Siberian Orchestra. We have one last pair of tickets
for Brett Michaels and next week just heads up. I
think we're giving away tickets to the home game against Carolina.
We are, Yeah, and that's all week long, fantastic, All right.
It's DC's classic crock. It's big one hundred. DC's classic crock.
It's big one hundred. Oh that's It's really not a
big surprise, is it. DC was named the biggest rat

(03:49):
city in the country.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Number one baby, number one. Who's number two? New York
or Boston? Let's see, if I had to guess.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
Be New York.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I don't think it was either one of those. Let
me let me bring it back up.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I just saw that we were number one baby and
left it at Dad didn't care.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Who's number two? Who's for losers?

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Drive over the river?

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Live in Virginia. Rats can't swim. Actually, I don't know
if that's true or not. I bet they can't. Weren't
they swimming in Rambo? Was that rats when he went
to the cave and they were swimming all around him? Ah,
it doesn't mention number two, It doesn't know.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
This doesn't matter. GC's number one.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Number one baby.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Rats everywhere, Yes, sir, oh boy.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I used to see a lot of them in Boston
years ago. I would go over to my girlfriend's house.
She lived by Fenway, by the ballpark, and you take
the trash out at night, So you go out of
the building out the back door into an alley and
as soon as you open the door and go step
into the alley at night, just like a sea of
them scattering. God, they're nasty creatures here. They're really smart, though,

(04:57):
aren't they. They're really really smart animals.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I think so.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
I had a conversation with one.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
They do a lot of them that they do a
lot of, you know, research and testing on rats. I
always found the I will talk about that another time.
One of the most interesting studies on planet Earth was
done on rats and it was the whole like they
put them in the cage with drugs and then they
put them on the cage with drugs but with activities.

(05:25):
Have you ever heard about that. I'll look it up
because I want I want to get it right and
make sure I say the name of it. But it is,
it is fascinating. It was a study on drug abuse
and it's really really just like crazy and it's got
a lot of rats having sex, right, So, I mean,
I mean, that's that's a story.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
You buried the lead on that.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I know, well, because you shouldn't really lead with the lead.
You've got to build up, you gotta you gotta grab
my attention. No, you got to build up to it.
You gotta build up.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
You tell me about studies, and there's drugs and then
they put.

Speaker 5 (05:56):
Them just and right when you were about to write,
when you were about to know off, I said, and
rats having sex, and it came back to life, right. See,
that was the that was the goal coming up just
before seven o'clock.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Things I Know.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Adam Peters on the show later this morning eight o'clock hour.
Talked to him about eight thirty. Timbury from the Big Wager.
We'll be on the show at about seven to ten
this morning and we'll wrap up the big word of
the week and set somebody with trance, set somebody up
with Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets at about seven twenty this morning.
DC's Classic rockets big one hundred, DC's Classic Crocket's a

(06:29):
big one. There's chili peppers under the bridge. It's time
for things I know. We'll file those under things I know.
I found the info on that. Ratt PRC was the
name of the study. Rat Park it's a seriousest studies
into drug addiction conducted in the late seventies. A psychologist

(06:50):
out of Canada at the time of the studies research
exploring the self administration of morphine.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
And this study had been.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Done again, I think, all with a cocaine by someone else,
but basically it was self administration of morphine to animals.
So they put them in these solitary metal cages and
this is how they conducted experiments, and he hypothesized that
the conditions may be responsible for exasperating the self administration
of the drugs. Meaning they're in these solitary, empty rat cages.

(07:23):
But they would put two bottles of water, one of
them had morphine in it, one of them were regular water.
And they even sweetened the morphine water to try to
make it more you know, attractive. And so he looked
at this and said, ah, that's something I don't He
thinks the way they're caged might have something because they

(07:44):
all drank the morphine like crazy's odeed, you know. So
what he did is he built something called rat Park
and it was a large housing colony two hundred times
the floor area of the standard laboratory cage. Then he
filled it with balls and toys and wheels and tunnels,

(08:05):
space for mating, filled it with both sexes instead of
just putting the rat by itself in a cage. So
they had stuff that that food that things to play with.
They could you know, get it on anytime they wanted happy,
happy little rats.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
They would not drink the morphine, just go to the water.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
So did the first cage have both the water and
the morphine?

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, nothing else to do?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, yeah, So it got into I think the purpose
of this initial study was just to show that housing
conditions could confound the results of whatever tests they were
trying to do. But really interesting when you start to
look like environmental factors and drug addiction and all these things,
and I think I think it went as far as

(08:50):
like they even put some in solitary cages. They drank
the morphine, they got hooked on the stuff, and then
they put them in rat park whereas everything was happy
and they quit. They were like, yeah, I don't need
that anymore. And he said there were actually signs of
withdrawal in the rats. You could see him like twitch
in and freaking out.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Itching.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
They did that in the seventies, but they would in
late seventies, but they would not go back when they
were happy. They would not go back to the morphine.
They would just drink the water. That crazy nuts. We
got onto the rats this morning because DC was voted
the number one rat city in the country.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
That no big surprise, really right.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
The YMCA initially threatened to sue the village people for
the song the YMCA, but they dropped the suit about
halfway through when they found their membership had exploded thanks
to the song.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
It made him a lot of money.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
And finally the Prime Minister of Sweden I don't know,
I've never heard about this was assassinated back in nineteen
eighty six and the case was not closed for thirty
four years.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
They don't know who did it. In twenty twenty, prosecutor settled.

Speaker 7 (10:01):
On a subject a suspect, and unfortunately he had died
back in two thousand, so they were like, yeah, that
guy that died back in two thousand, he did it.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
He was the guy. I don't think they really know,
all right. It is DC's classic Crockets Big one hundred. Zach.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Why do I keep saying Sax Shelby Zach Helby's On Tuesdays?
Commanders dot Com. I love you, Zach.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's the cookies. You got me hooked on your crack cookies,
and now I can think about as you see, if
you had a room with other stuff to do, I know.

Speaker 5 (10:29):

Speaker 1 (11:13):
They'll be like normal crocks, but smaller.

Crocket's Big one hundred. It's Tiny Dancer Shohn.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
It's that time of year, that time of year where
I do it every fall, where I have the big
debate with myself whether I should grow beard.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I mean, I always have a little something. But like
I like sometimes wool I go on like Grizzly Adams.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, like I won't mountain man at Yeah, like I.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Won't shave until till summer.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
And uh, I typically regret it like a It makes
you look like ten years older all the time, and
it's a pain in the ass, and.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
For a while it itches, and for some reason I
still want to do it again.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
I don't know, because it's fun.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I guess I'm trying to decide if I want to
do it. I can't decide this year.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
All right, you can catch him and I do because
he gives out pretty damn good advice.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Pregames right here on Big one hundred.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Before the games a show called The Big Wager. Joining
us on the show, mister Tim.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Murray, what's up man, This is a fi This is
a great week man. It's gonna be a Baltimore, Washington,
everything on the line.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
It was funny.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I was watching Sports Center the other day and I
was sitting at the sports book here in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, and I was talking to someone. I go, look
at that.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
When was the last time you saw someone doing a
live shot from Commander's practice facility?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
And it wasn't something negative?

Speaker 6 (12:57):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
I was like, all right, we're really good. And so
I can't wait, man, Saturday Sunday is going to be unbelievable. Yeah,
so what's the what's the spread on that now? So
it's high, it's high six and a half. Okay, still
still six and a half.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I have a I have a I have a little
nugget for you. Okay, your listeners will be excited about this. Right,
underdogs of six or more points this year in the
NFL are sixteen two and one against the spread. And
how about this eleven and eight straight up? Meaning Wow,

(13:32):
they've won eleven of the nineteen games underdogs of six
or more points.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, that's a that's eleven bets. I I lost like
laying the chalk.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I'm so aware. I'm so aware. Would you take the
six and a half, then I.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Would not you, Oh really, Okay, I think it's a
little kind of like Admiral Acbar.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I think it's a bit of a trap, So I
hope I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Look, I felt like I had a good read on
the Commanders week three, on the big wager.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
We were all fired up.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
We took the Bengals plus the seven and a half,
or took the Commanders at Cincinnati plus seven and a half,
got that home easy, and then since then I've been wondering,
all right, is this for real? And I didn't take
Cleveland last week, thankfully, but look, it's looked like the
real deal. Baltimore is also obviously the real deal.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
The question for me is this.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
The total is fifty one and a half. And now, personally,
I'm not a big total player. For those wondering, fifty
one and a half means are they going to be
over fifty one and a half points or under fifty
one and a half points? I look at Washington and
the way they played offensively, and I look at Baltimore
in the way that they've played offensively, and what are
these teams? Two teams done recently which has been playing

(14:55):
great offense?

Speaker 1 (14:56):
I think the over would be the way I would
look in this game.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Yeah, I might have to agree with you on that one,
because the Commanders just keep scoring, yes, which is which
is really fun. What else are you looking at this week?
Anything worth talking about?

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Sure, I mean, I I think Cincinnati on on Sunday
Night football probably is gonna be something that I get
to the window. Yet again, Uh, Cincinnati No. One and
four taking on the Giants. Devastating loss last week for
the Bengals missing a field goal in overtime against uh
the Baltimore Ravens. So I think I can find myself

(15:31):
getting to the window there. Uh, that would probably be
the one, Yeah, that I that I look at the most.
There would be Cincinnati as a three and a half
point favorite against the Giants, and then.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
I'm sure I'll find some dogs that will get me
to the window, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
But h right now looking at it, you know, Cleveland
catching nine and a half at Philadelphia, I just I
can't do it with that with that offense right now?

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Also, do you do you?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Uh you bet on the the fired coach bump as
the Jets fire Robert Salah And now there are two
and a half way home underdog to the Buffalo bills
on Monday night.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
And Aaron Rodgers is clearly in charge now.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
So oh you know, he told us, he told the
world that, you know, I was outrageous to think that
he was the one making that decision.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
Okay, all right, yeah, okay, buddy, Yeah, I'm not buying that,
not even for a second. Right, Hey, did you know
you can play I'm just I'm telling everybody I know
today that you can play Madden on your phone now, really.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:36):
I downloaded the Madden twenty four app and I have
the I'm playing a season started last night, and I
have the Commanders off to a stellar one and six
start promising. No, they go, It's just Madden on my
phone and I'm old, so I'm blind. I need readers
to play it. At the time, I'm like Sequint and

(16:57):
looking at it. At least you got one win. Yeah,
well I got one win. I did get one win, yes,
and it was against the Cowboys, so I'll take it.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
All that matters. Yeah, all right, Tim, Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
Man.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
We We look forward to uh laying some some some
money down this weekend and seeing if your picks come
come to fruition.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Cannot wait for Sunday man, it's gonna be awesome seeing
these two teams go ahead to head.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Tim Murray from the Big Wager Catch Him pregame right
here on DC's Classic Rock Big one hundred.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
DC's Classic Rock, Yes, Big one hundred sweets out of
Mind Guns Roses.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I could this day get any better? It's Friday. It's Friday.
Commanders are playing the Ravens this weekend.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's huge.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
And we just found out that our staff meeting is
canceled next week. These are these are exciting times we
are living in.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
And we learned that DC is the number one rat
and facet city in the country.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Number one, Baby, exciting, exciting time. I'm telling you, I
just I had no idea. I just read this article.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Do you remember the movie The Replacement with Keanu Reeves. Yeah,
apparently he played.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
The position of quarterbacks so well acting in that movie
that in two thousand, the Baltimore Ravens invited him to
try out. Really, they said he had this natural athleticism.
They invited him to try out at quarterback.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Did he play? Did he play in college?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I don't know, but didn't he play another?

Speaker 4 (18:38):
He was a football star in Point Break?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, it was Johnny something he went by Johnny Football.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
Is what he call him or something, right, I can't remember.
It was another great movie point break. I gotta go
back and watch that one.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Do you know Anthony Keats from the Red Hawses in
that movie?

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Yeah, yeah, split second he's yeah getting the fight on
the beach by the.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Showeryte of time. Pretty good.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
But I just was blown away by that. And uh
Kanu declined. He said he wanted to focus on acting.
You know, Kiano catches a lot of grief for being
a bad actor.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
But I like the guy.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
I do, but he does like I think he's pretty good,
Like it's just his style. People you know, Bill and
Ted didn't help him out. Bill and Ted didn't help
him out.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
And even am.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
Know his wife.

Speaker 5 (19:39):
But I like the guy and he's a really good human,
like a really good human. There are countless examples of
him just doing good in the world and not being
you know, just some popas a hole that makes a
lot of money.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, he's uh. I like him. I had no idea.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
Imagine Johnny Utah, that was it. Imagine if they'd to
if he'd actually tried out. He actually tried out and
made the team and Keanu Raves went from acting, went
from Bill and Ted to be in a quarterback for
the Ravens have an insane It is time to give

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Brian Adams have a correction to make.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Yesterday I said it was the Commanders who had made
that hype video, the Ravens hype video for the game
against It wasn't It was like a fan account, and
I was thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Driving home this Sam'm like, wow, how did they get away?

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Because somebody had put it to start Wars talking about
jedis in the dark Side and made reference to, you know,
the Ravens being the dark Side, and I was like,
I wonder how they got around the copyright stuff to
do that, or how long they'll keep that up because
you know, And then so I went back to look
at it and realized, oh, it wasn't. It was a
fan site. Either way, it was incredible. It's mind blowingly good.

(22:20):
You watched it, right, so good. We'll say a long
it stays up because I remember the kid that couldn't
get a passport because his name was Luke Skywalker.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
So they do.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
They wouldn't give him a passport. They're like, that's sorry,
this copyright, we can't. He eventually did get his passport.
But and I think someone should check on Dennis today.
I think he's out because he's mourning because the commanders
released Sam Hartman. And we know what a man crush

(22:53):
that Dennis had on Sam Hartman. It's a big one,
and I'm worried about him. I actually let me see
if he responded. I texted him.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I was just checking on you. Are you okay? Sure,
he's very sad, very sad. Look, I get it.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Sam Martin's a good looking dude, but Dennis really had
a thing for him. He did like a kind of
kind of weird, a little uncomfortable, yeah, a little all right.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Got in to song.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
As we're making corrections, I got an email from a
listener named Jackson. Great name, by the way, has anyone
ever told you that you have a fantastic name, Jackson?

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Is that copyrighted?

Speaker 8 (23:36):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
I should do that Skyline Drive is open. We were
talking about this yesterday or maybe the day before. Blue
Ridge is closed due to storm damage and roads being
wiped out, and Blue Ridge Parkway is an extension of
Skyline Drive. I was saying that I wanted to disappear
at Jiahatsu into the Shnandoahs and crashed at the mountains

(23:58):
are closed. That's exactly what I said. That's it that way,
But that's that's what you implied. Sorry, you can't go there.
They're closed. No, there was damage to the roads.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Yeah, so it's closed, so you can't access.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Well you can. I just told you.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
He said that Skyline is open. Blue Roots is closed
due to storm damage. I wonder if it's like landslides
from all rain. I bet it was roads being wiped out,
because I said that they were.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
They were closed indefinitely.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, which means could take quite a bit.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
I wonder how bad it is to dig around see
if I can find see if anybody got any pictures
of it, see how bad it is. There's that picture
that the dog's wearing crocs again, I keeps popping up.
It's the stupidest thing ever. I am still going to
buy my dog's cross, of course, I look at it.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life.

(24:51):
Beginning October twenty eighth, Crocks is going to sell crocks
for dogs, and I'm like, God, that's stupid. And then
I make a note to myself buy dogs crocs, which
I'm gonna do, and they're gonna chew them off within
like thirty seconds. They won't wear them.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
They'll do that walk around thing you know where they
ship his foot to try to get it off.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Yeah, something unnatural is on them.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
If they can put them on long enough for me
to just get a picture, that's all I need.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Good social media, that's all I care about, right right,
Look at my dog in crocs. That'll get a lot
of likes. And speaking of you know, them doing the
shape thing. Have you ever done the think this was
terrible When my cat was alive, but he was a dick.
He deserves it.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Cat, he was a cat.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
He was a jerk.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
My cat was the biggest jerk on planet Earth. I
shouldn't say that my cat was good to me. He
was good at the family, but he was not good
to strangers.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
He was an a hole.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
And uh he lived for you know, good twelve thirteen years.
But if you were it was floating around on the
internet for a while, and so my son and I
had to try it. You take the clear, really sticky tape.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Have you ever seen this? Yes, right, and you put
you put them a couple pieces of sticky side.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Up on the floor, right, and you put your cat's
paws on him, and then just back away and film it.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well see, oh my god, it's funny. They freak out.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
They're like, ah, tried to shake the tape off and
they can't get it off.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I did that, but not not just for S and g's.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
I did it because I had this couch. I bought
a couch. It was a leather couch. It was so
nice and this was my early days of having a
well no, but I brought the couch home. I put
the couch in and like my couch, and then I
hear the cat scratching his claws on it. I put
the tape on the couch to train her not to

(26:53):
walk on the great thing was like those early days
when she would jump up on the couch and the
tape would be there the panic.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, yeah, I still have that video somewhere. Meet them
to my cat. I'll see if I can dig it up.
It's so funny, so funny.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Uh, hey, anybody see the northern lights last night? I
did not. I was asleep. Well I shouldn't say that.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
I did wake up in the middle of the night
and I rolled over, half confused, and saw lights in
the sky and thought to myself, Uh, it must be lightning.
I thought it was raining. And I looked a little more,
just kind of squinted out my window.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
I was like, it was not.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
It doesn't look like it's right Back to sleep.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
So I should have I should have got up and
busted on the camera or something. But I was gonna say,
your wife got some pictures, didn't she She took a
lot of pictures. I'm seeing them all over socials this morning.
Yeah that's great. That's where. Let me say that one again.
Oh but in the corner there, it almost looked like
the monument was in the corner. Isn't that cool?

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:01):
Yeah, well, hey, look if you miss those. I don't
know if they're back again tonight or not.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
I do know this, I do know what it is
around tonight and tomorrow. I think through the thirteenth Comet
see twenty twenty three A three.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
It's got a lot of numbers.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
That's a sexy name.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It will I know, right, let's let's give it a name.
I think it's something at lass. It does have a name.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
It's like, I don't know how to say that.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It will make it the closest approach to Earth is
that tonight? That's tonight, No tonight and tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Night, closest approach to Earth and will become the brightest
comet in thirteen years, has the potential to outshine all
the stars in the sky in the next coming days here,
and it hasn't passed Earth this close.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
In eighty thousand years. It was the Stone Age the
last time this comment came close to Earth. That's kind
of fascinating.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
And you know why it's coming back because the government's
controlling it.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Well that's I mean, dude, you're not paying attention. Huh.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
You want a script a voting in Florida, bring back
a comment, just yeah, just just create hurricanes and bring
back comments. What they're doing in northern lights and things
like that. Oh, Marjorie, I can't, I can't even. Oh Lord,
have mercy, Oh Lord. We live in a world where

(30:43):
the president had to come out and say, look, if
you buy into this stuff, God bless you.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I got nothing against you. You're crazy.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
But we live in a world where the president had
to come out and say we are not controlling the weather.
We're not purposely sending hurricanes to certain states to affect
the vote, or to mind lithium in North Carolina or
whatever that one was that was floating.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Around like that had to be done. There had to
be a statement, a statement. I don't believe them.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
This is the world we live in. It is absolutely
insane Facebook.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
That's what Facebook said. Oh wow, Facebook said that they
were con tell us why. That's why.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
I just make sure my algorithm is stuff like this,
the Comet, the Northern Lights, camping pictures, cats with tape
on their hats, with tape on their feet, hunting videos,
you know, hiking stuff. I don't want all that garbage
in my feed because it really it's a crazy world

(31:44):
right now. It's a crazy world, and there's an election
coming up that's kind of get even crazy.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
To bring in the comet.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Could be maybe.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
I would put money money on the fact there will
be some sort of conspiracy absolutely surrounding this comment. No
doubt there will, I know I mean, we'll jump on
X this weekend and just search Comet conspiracy and it'll
be everywhere.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Wondering if I could do it right now he probably can.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
It's just insane, just insane, all.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
Right, Adam Peters, he's going to join us on the show,
General Manager, You're Washington Commanders.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's something that's real. The Commander's being four and one.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
That's for real, kids, And it's gonna be a great
game this weekend up to Road and Baltimore taking on
the Ravens, and we will chat with at him about
that coming up just around the corner. On DC's Classic Rock,
We're not controlling the weather.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
It's a big one.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
DC's Classic Rock. It's big, one hundred jone jet.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I love rock and roll. Jackson here, good morning to you.
Lieutenant Dan made it.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Good, old Lieutenant Dan, that guy we've been talking about
that decided to day on his sailboat, Doctor's sailboat, small
one too, a big boat and ride out the hurricane.
And he kind of became a viral sensation there. And
he's fine. He's fine, man, He he made it. He's great.

(33:20):
Although I wonder what it was like spending the night
on that boat and a hurricane, and that hurricane that
had to be frightening, had to be frightening, right, it
is time for Florida man.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
Florida man Jordan Anderson, twenty nine year old Florida resident,
was arrested Sunday after police allegedly found him shooting hoops.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
In an Orlando area park. Right, thinking, what's the run
with that? He's working on his basketball skills, he's completely naked.
That yeah, something about there's two things you will always
find in Florida. They're either naked or they're assaulting someone

(34:07):
with food. That's wild naked, wild naked. Yes, he was arrested,
and he said this method of training would help him
become a better basketball player.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (34:24):
He was working on his basketball skills and deals he
needed to play naked to enhance those skills.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's from the police report investigated.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
The investigators said they did ask him to put his
clothes back on, and he did, didn't resist, but then
they charged him with indecent exposure of sexual organs. How
they raked the law in Florida. Not just indecent exposure,
it's a misdemeanor. They transported him to a local jail
set his bond at five hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
So what is it to bond out? What is it
like ten percent of whatever your bond is? Is that
how that works?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (35:04):
So if it was like five hundred bucks, you can
get out of jail for fifteen dollars.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Yeah, right, might have been worth it, right, Huh? You
said I played basketball nude? Might have been worth it.
Although something like that, man, things that people don't think about.
If there had been like children around or something, you
can catch some serious charges because now you're not. Now
it's not just in decent exposure. Now, Yeah, it's like, well,

(35:30):
sounds like he came out of it fairly unscathed. It's
fifty bucks in a misdemeanor. You got to play hoops
in the nude?

Speaker 4 (35:37):
I take it.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I'll take it. Eight twenty five.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
Adam Peters, General Manager, if you're Washington Commanders, coming up
on the program. Next on DC's Classic Rockets Big one hundred,
DC's Classic Rockets, Big one hundred and Happy Friday, eight
thirty and Adam Peters joins us on the show Powered
Today by Fog Nigma, Command the Cloud and dominate cybersecurity
operations with Fog Make Money.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Adam congratulations again.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
What's up, Jackson? How you doing? Man? Pretty good?

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Thank you pretty good?

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Man.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
Hey, listen, I'm following your lead. The whole world knows
about what you're lucky underwear now and and I'm a
big believer. And if I'm gonna do something, I'm not
gonna half ask it. I'm going all in right, So
before the game last Sunday, I put on my lucky pair.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
I'm keeping them on all season. They're staying on all.

Speaker 6 (36:32):
I never seen it in the studio.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
No, no, no, I'll hit them with some for breeze
or something at least once a day. They'll be fine.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
But that always works here.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I think it's gonna work. Wow.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
Another big win. That is fantastic in a big game
this weekend for sure. How are you feeling about the
team headed up to Baltimore?

Speaker 6 (36:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (36:55):
That that was a great win, home win in front
of our fan. It was an awesome atmosphere. Really, people
came out, they were loud, They helped us out a
lot third down and got a few timeouts to lay
a game penalties, those types of things.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
False starts. So really really excited to be back home
for that game.

Speaker 9 (37:14):
And now we've got a big challenge in front of
us in Baltimore, so we're looking forward to it.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
So on that note, how does the I've always wondered this,
how does the team travel to a game that's so
close that Baltimore's just up the road to Does a
team still travel together or do players just show up
at the stadium for that game or how does that work?

Speaker 9 (37:31):
That's a great question because I didn't know the answer
to that either. And you know, it's not like we
are taking buses.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
It's not like the school.

Speaker 9 (37:39):
Buses that we took in high school where you couldn't
talk and we just sat there and you know, focus
on the game. But you're going to be amazed by
this because I was. We were taking these things. Brian
Porter in football ops here, he's one of the best
in the bids, and he found these buses called nap
Away buses and you only fit like eighteen people on

(38:00):
these things, and it's like it's like a luxury bus.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
It turns into a bed and the guys can lay down.
I mean, they got Wi Fi.

Speaker 9 (38:09):
It's like, you know, flying first class in one of
those like pod seats, except for it's a bus. So
the players are in all those we're sitting in just
regular chairs, but the good guys that matter are.

Speaker 6 (38:19):
Sitting in those things and they're awesome. So I'm pumped
to see.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Wow, that's cool. Well it'll be an awesome forty five
minute drive.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
Yeah, right, I think it's a little longer. This belt
Wain that everybody talks about. I try to stay off
of this thing, but it's uh when.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
You get on, and I know why.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah, you don't ever want to get on the Beltway.
It is the vein of my existence. Man, It's awful.
So on that note too, I mean we're talking about
you know, nice buses and transporting the team and style.
There's a lot of buzz around the new atmosphere in
the building and how player friendly everything is now. And

(38:57):
this we're hearing this from like players, whether they're micd
up for a game or whether they're talking about this
in interviews, and they're just really praising the team on
how well they are treated now. And is this kind
of like part of the master plan moving forward to
just make Washington a place where players truly want to
come and play.

Speaker 6 (39:17):
Yeah, I think one it's the right thing to do.

Speaker 9 (39:21):
I think everybody should see that but when you have
an ownership.

Speaker 6 (39:25):
Group with Josh leading the way and wanting to be.

Speaker 9 (39:27):
A first class organization, and then d Q and I
were really aligned in that vision too, is making this
place where it's player first and doing everything.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
They can to help them win, you know.

Speaker 9 (39:38):
So whatever that is, whether it's these buses, whether it's nutrition,
whether you know, down the line, and Josh has given
us the resources to do that, and by no means
they'll be perfect, and we're always trying to get better.
But that's the idea and that's just how I think
organizations should be run. And luckily for us we have
an ownership group and Josh that feels the same way.

(39:59):
So we're gonna keep trying to do those things and
get better and make uh, you know, as good as
possible for our players.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
I tell you, when I played football in like high school,
it was a treat when we got stuff at McDonald's
and get a happy meal after a game.

Speaker 9 (40:15):
You never take the gosh the fun wild bust from
from Boston to New York.

Speaker 6 (40:21):
Oh yeah, stop it, Roy Rogers.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
Yes, yes, but I don't know it's so funny you
bring that up because I know from like Philly to
New York.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
It's like five dollars or something to it's you can
jump on.

Speaker 9 (40:36):
It's unbelievable, the greatest dealing our Yeah, awesome.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
I was talking about like how happy the players are,
and you can really I love when they mike the
players up, and the big thing you're hearing from these
guys on the sideline when they're miked up is like
how much fun they're having. They keep saying that, oh
my god, this is so much fun. Wow, we haven't
had this much fun and forever. This is so much fun.
And I was thinking about McLaurin and is there a
happier man on Earth right now? I mean, he looks

(41:03):
fantastic out there. He always does. He's playing really well.
He's gone through a guy, he's gone through countless quarterbacks,
has dealt with a lot of adversity different incarnations of
the team, and it looks like his loyalty to this
team is really really paying off. I mean, he's finally
got his quarterback. They're starting to connect, and he's such
a stand up guy to begin with. It is just great. Obviously,

(41:25):
it's great to see all the players happy. But when
I see McLaurin smile I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
Yeah, this is it, this is it.

Speaker 6 (41:31):
Yeah, he said that he is.

Speaker 9 (41:33):
He's the consummate pro and coming in here from day one,
he's bought right in and he's he's just an eight
in him to be a great worker, a great teammate,
just a great person. The man Terry McLaurin is better
than the player, if you can believe that and just
be it's special to be a part of a team
with what the guys like to add on there and

(41:53):
his leadership in the wide receiver room and throughout the
team has been great and just can't say enough good
thing about I'm really really happy and yeah, pumped that
that he's here and that he's doing so well and
I'm not surprised by it at all.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, and it's great to see.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
I had a chance to chat with him during training camp,
and it's great to see all the stuff he does
for the community. And he doesn't do it for show,
Like you wouldn't even know the things he's doing unless
you dug into it. Like he's just really that much
of a stand up guy, like just does a lot
for the community, just a just a great play.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
We're lucky to have him. Man that's for.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Sure, you really are, you know, that's who he is exactly.

Speaker 5 (42:31):
So with the trade deadline sneaking up on us and
cap space to play with, and I was thinking about
this too with you know, the team has found a groove.
It's like a brotherhood out there, right and and everybody's clicking,
everybody's getting along, everybody's having fun.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
And you never know when an injury might come out
of nowhere. And yet you have a need that you
didn't know you were going to have.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
Do you ever fear and I guess I'm asking you,
do you do your job ATAM do you ever fear
when you're out there looking at guys that you might
want to add to the team that it might be
you know the whole saying about you know, one bad apple,
you know what I mean? So like, do you ever
really go into depth to make sure that that person

(43:14):
is the right fit for the commanders, the right fit
for this team.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Yeah. Absolutely, that's a huge part of it.

Speaker 9 (43:21):
And really not just at the trade deadline or any
anytime like that, but anytime you're bringing somebody into your building,
you do. You know, That's why our college scouts are
out on the road, you know, away from their families
all fall, and you know, nine months out of the
year scouring the country for players. It's not just to
watch tape, it's to find out who these people are

(43:41):
inside and out as humans. And so, you know, DQ
has done an incredible job bringing this team together and
it's a testament to him and then the people in
that room who are stand up people, and you want
to keep bringing those.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
Types of people who love ball. They are good people
that play for you each other team first, and so
you're always doing research on that.

Speaker 9 (44:04):
Anytime you bring in person in and you call, you know,
a team, the other teams, you'll call their their front office,
you call their coaches, you call their teammates, to see
what type of person that that that guy is not
just the ballplayer, but the man. And so that that's
a huge part of what we're doing. And you know,
there's been opportunities to bring people in at different times
and we'll pass on that it's not the right type

(44:25):
of person.

Speaker 5 (44:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's awesome because it is really
nice to see how how how these guys have come together.
I'm watching the defense playing, I'm watching guys like Louvou
out there and Bobby Wagner, and it's like, obviously, you
guys brought in some great players. That was was step one, uh,
and now they're clicking uh step two. But I look
at that defense.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
Now and the way it's coming together, and I go, yep,
that's that's a Dan Quinn defense. That's what's happening here.

Speaker 5 (44:51):
Would you agree with that that he's just got a
special knack for creating great defense.

Speaker 6 (44:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (44:57):
I think Q and the whole staff and when we
got in here, they gave us a great vision for
what they want this defense to look like. And so
that makes our jobs easier as personnel people to bring
those people in like a Frankie Lou or Bobby Wagner.

Speaker 6 (45:13):
And really, you know, I'd even say this is a
Joe Witt defense. You know, Joe Witt is calling the plays.

Speaker 9 (45:18):
He's doing a great job, and he's worked with d
Q for a long time and they have a great
synergy there. But Joe's doing an excellent job of putting
his own twists on it, and you can see it
coming together a week after week and getting guys like
Bobby who DQ coached, and then Frankie who you know,
when we came in. He was one of the first
guys we watched in free agency, and it didn't take

(45:41):
long for us to put down the remote and say that, yeah,
that's a commander right there.

Speaker 6 (45:44):
So really fortunate to get those guys in.

Speaker 9 (45:47):
And Joe's doing a great job just adjusting and getting
better each week.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
So I can't give enough credit to Joe Witt.

Speaker 5 (45:53):
Yeah, I'll tell you what, Joe Witt isn't awesome. Like
I had a chance to chat with him before the season.
That guy inspiring. He gets you fired up. I spent
ten minutes with him on the phone, and I wanted
to run through a brick wall by the time I
was done.

Speaker 6 (46:10):
You and me both I love I love watching his interviews. Man,
he gets you pumped up. You're ready to go? Yeah,
like a Wednesday afternoon, do you want to go play? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (46:18):
Yeah, He's He's great man. He was a great addition.
So do you have any like favorite stadiums that you
you like to play out? Like, are you looking at
any games on the on the schedule where you go, oh,
I can't wait for that game. Not necessarily the team,
but like you like that city or you really like
that stadium? Any places you really like to go for
away games.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
Away games.

Speaker 9 (46:37):
Well, you got to talk about Northwest Stadium first, and
you were creating there. Shout out to Jeff Bentley at
Northwest for for helping us out there.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
That place is it's going to be a great home
field advantage for us.

Speaker 9 (46:50):
But you know, I think you know, there's lots of
cool places to play this This league is incredible, and
there's new stadiums going up, you know every year, it
seems like.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
But you always love to play those rivalry games in
the NFC. This is a historic division and it's a
tough division.

Speaker 9 (47:07):
To playing those guys and playing them on the road,
that's always fun.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Man. Those are the games you look forward to.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Yeah, yeah, and I get excited, you know, looking down
the road and going not too far off in the
distant future, you know the commander is going to have
one of these like state of the art stadiums, one
of those destination stadiums. Really really something to look forward
to as part of this whole process. So excited about that. Also,

(47:34):
I always say kudos on Northwest because that's a cool
sounding name, and there are some stadiums out there you
go Northwest, But yeah, when they said Northwest Stadium. I
was like, oh, yeah, that just sounds cool, Just sounds cool.

Speaker 6 (47:49):
Yeah, I like that one. I like it a lot
better than what we had. Yeah. Pumped to get back there.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
So final question for you, because I was thinking about
this last night. There's a lot of jobs in football.
There's a lot of jobs, and obviously, if you love
the game, you could have done any of these jobs.
What led you to want to be a GM.

Speaker 9 (48:10):
Yeah, that's a great question. I you know, first, you know,
you're trying to be a player, and it took me
a while to figure out that I wasn't good enough.

Speaker 4 (48:19):
It's probably too long.

Speaker 6 (48:21):
I played the last person to know that one.

Speaker 9 (48:23):
But but after that, you know, I just knew I
wanted to be in football.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
And I love this game and I love what it
what it brings. It brings so many.

Speaker 9 (48:31):
People from different places and just backgrounds together and you're
all in the locker room and you and you become
friends and close with people you never.

Speaker 6 (48:40):
Thought you would. So, uh, it's it's really it's just.

Speaker 9 (48:43):
An ultimate united that's this sport. And so I wanted
to stay in it and I just kind of hung
around at U c l A and and just hung
around in the football office and started watching tape with
some of the guys and really enjoyed doing that. So
watching players, and actually, it's a cool story. One of
the first people I watched was this grainy video of
this kid in Louisiana on a VHS tape and you

(49:07):
couldn't see him because you couldn't even see the numbers
that you know, the whole VHS tape barely see the details.
These kids these days with their high definition but and
and this kid kept just smoking people over and over again.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
You had to rewind it to find them on the tape.
And it was Chris Horton was his name.

Speaker 9 (49:25):
And coincidentally, he's a special teams coordinator by the Baltimore
Ravens now but he played here at the Commanders back
then it was the Redskins, and he was an awesome
kid and he that tape alone really kind of drew
me to being an evaluator and enjoying doing that. So
it's funny you asked that, because there's a lot of
ties to this team and then this game in particular,

(49:46):
that it led.

Speaker 6 (49:47):
Me to do that.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah, that's and that's so cool that all these years later.

Speaker 5 (49:51):
You know, to think that you watched him on VHS
tape and then all these years later you're traveling to
the stadium to play them.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
That's so cool.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
I lied.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
I have one last question if because I love asking
players this questions, because this question because I always get
such great answers, like I asked Jaden, what would you
be doing if you weren't playing football? And he was
like basketball, which explains that basketball he carries everywhere. Jamie
Davis told me he would have been a NASCAR driver.
Jonathan Allen said he would have been in the military.

(50:19):
If you weren't doing the football thing, if you weren't
the GM of a football team and you had to
pick to another career, what do you think you'd be doing.

Speaker 9 (50:28):
Oh man, that's a that's a crazy question. I don't
think about that too much. Listening to those guys, I
probably said, want to be a baseball player. That's all
go to just sit around the dugout fit seas and
tell jokes and get up and bad every once in
a while and make a lot of money.

Speaker 6 (50:43):
So that's the ideal.

Speaker 9 (50:44):
But I'd probably you know, you know, coaching gym class
or something like that if.

Speaker 6 (50:48):
I didn't make it as a baseball player or a
whistle pants up real high.

Speaker 5 (50:51):
There you go, man, I love it and baseball. You're right, man,
they make a lot of money. Get up and beat
every now and then, and you can play till you're
like eighty.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Yeah. Yeah, you have to be in shape. Hang out.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
You see those old videos like baseball players after a game,
like smoking cigarettes, drinking beer in the locker room.

Speaker 6 (51:09):
Like, oh man, what a life man, I tell you.
