Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
In its earliest days, the major function of radio was news.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Going on here, beautiful.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Let everybody go.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Why don't you put on a show and charge it mission?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Okay, so I would say something with music.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
I'm Tomedy, No, you're talker.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
He will be a show for everyone who loves music
and murder. Come on, Chuck, we gotta take show to
do showtime.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Are you ready? I'm ready to read job and ware
we go, Happy Wednesday. Thanks for locking in.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
It's Jackson here Big Rock Mornings, DC's Classic Rock Big
one hundred and we will have more tickets today to
give away for the Bears game this weekend. LaVar Arrington
will join us on the show coming up at eight
o'clock this morning. And I just saw the Matthew Sweet
news he suffered a stroke. I'm trying to figure out
if that happened on stage or if it happened he's

(01:08):
he was on tour and had I guess a big
stroke like he's in a rehabilitation center. I had to
cancel the rest of the tour, So sending positive vibes
his way. I love Matthew Sweet. I only know like
three songs, but I love him and girlfriend, I.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Think that's the only one I know.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
That might be the only one I can name off
the top of it. Oh, what's the other one?

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Got him?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
It's hearing the chorus in my head, but I can't remember.
I'm cheating, sick of myself.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
There we go. That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Matthew Sweet was a great guitar player. He always had
the coolest guitar riffs in his song. So we'll update
you on that if I see anymore Hanson. Right, yeah,
he was and then and I guess it was a
bad one because now they've got him.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
I think they.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I think he's from Nebraska, from Omaha, and they put
him in a rehabilitation center out there, and they said,
and he will now begin his quote long road to recovery.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh boy, all.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Right, it is six thirteen. We'll take care some business here.
We're back to a just few. It's DC's Classic Rock,
Big one hundred. DC's Classic Rock is Big one hundred.
There's a minute work. It was an article in the
Washington Post this morning. It's pretty funny. It's American Airlines
is testing out this new system that will basically shame
travelers who tried to board before their group has been

(02:38):
called see it all the time, and if you haven't
tried it, I don't believe you. I think everybody's tried
to sneak on before they're supposed to. You know, they
did what they do the boarding, and every airline's a
little bit different. But it's like now boarding group one,
now boarding group two. I've seed people they have like
an eight on their ticket, and it'll be like now

(02:59):
boarding group two, run up there and just nobody says anything. Right,
they get scanned. They just get on the plane. Not
a big deal. But some people will have you know,
we'll pay for that priority boarding, or maybe they have
the airline's credit card that gets them that priority boarding,
or whatever the.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Case may be.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
So now they've got a new system that will basically
flag when people attempt to board before their group has
been called. So an audible alert will sound when your
boarding pass gets scanned, and if it's not your correct
boarding group, the agent will tell you to step aside.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
They say the.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Purpose is to ensure customers receive all the benefits of
priority boarding and improve the boarding experience, but mostly just
to shame line jumpers.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I find the boarding numbers confusing really, yeah, always have.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, they give you a number and then I.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Understand the concept. But it's like trying to keep track
of it when you're there, like knowing what group is
up and which in elementary.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Dude, it's like now boarding group too.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You're not listening to what I'm saying. What I'm saying
is that when they all clutter together like it's it's
I find it hard to know which numbers up in which.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Well, but a lot of the airlines.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Not all of them, but a lot of them will
now put they you know, on the TV screen It'll
say now boarding, so it'll tell you like you can
look up at the screen it'll say two, three, four, five,
which would make it a lot easier. But yeah, and
a lot of these people I think will jump the
line and go well, I can just say I made
a mistake. I can just say I thought we were

(04:32):
doing group five when sexy group. One interesting fact, the
people that work at the airlines they call those people
gate lice. It's the ultimate insult. Airline employees call the
people that jump the line gate lice. So far, American

(04:53):
Airlines says they've been pretty pleased with the test. Travelers
seemed to like it. There was a guy in social
media that said, I saw this in action yesterday.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
It was great.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
You said, I saw about five people get punted out
of line for trying to board before the group was called.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's about time.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
I think bothered. What bothers me more is the people
that that like, if they could stand up while the
plane was landing, they would, The people that are in
such a rush. I get it if you're trying to
catch another flight, that makes sense, but you get the people.
It's just like, as soon as the plane lands, it's
taxing to the gate and everybody's like seatbelts off, pulling

(05:33):
their luggage out already, and trying to get to the
front of the line. It's like, dude, it's gonna be
another ten minutes. Get used to it. It's gonna pull
up there. It's gonna take forever for them to open
the door, and you're gonna have to wait your turn anyway.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
But you get you get the like in a super.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Does any airline have like priority exiting for those.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well, yeah, I'm based on your seating right, Like if
you want to exit early, you need to sit up front, right,
So when you buy your ticket and it gives you
the option to like purchase, and again depends on the airline.
It gives you the option to purchase your seat, you know,
like it'll we'll seat you wherever the hell we want.
But if you pay an extra twenty bucks, you can
pick your seat. And then it pulls up the chart

(06:13):
and even go all right, I want to be in
the first you know, five rows or I guess it
would be the rose following first class, so six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
which will get you off the plane really fast, aisle
seat and like roll row.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Five you're out of there. But when you're in row
thirty nine in a window seat, just sex to the bathroom.
Just sit down. You're not getting off any faster. Just
sit down.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It's gonna be a while. Take your turn. We'll see
how this works, man, We'll see how it works. But
it gets is it?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Southwest? Southwest?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Does the thing where you line up by the They
don't really have an order, do they line up? It
says on your ticket like you line up under the sign,
like they give you a number, and it's like you
line up under a Numbo, line up under number three,
under number four, based on what's on your ticket.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
And it all just ends up clamoring together.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Well, that's the thing. I think, that's what they're trying
to stop. I want to see somebody get shamed. I
want to see that guy that's like in row thirty
nine with a ten on his nice ticket try to
jump in with first class, whereas normally they just beep
him right through. All right, it is six twenty nine
and coming up just around the corner here we will

(07:28):
get to things I know.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Plus, we have tickets later.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
This morning to give away from the home game at
Northwest Stadium against the Bears, and LeVar Arrington joins us
on the show at eight a m.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
This morning. It is DC's Classic Rock, Big one hundred.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
DC's Classic Rock is Big one hundred, Summer sixty nine.
Brian Adams, It's six forty and good morning. Do you
tied for things?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I know?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
If Puerto Rico were added as the fifty first state,
it would be thirtieth in population.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Out of twenty one other states. If Washington, d C.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Were added as a fifty second state, it would be
fiftieth in population.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Only ahead of Vermont and Wyoming. Where's everybody at It's
kind of a small area in DC.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, number ten miles across small area.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Young rabbits, pandas, and many other animals instinctively eat their
mother's feces because it contains bacteria that helps them properly
digest vegetation. I did not know that until today pandas
do that. Huh. We can go to the zoo.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Now watch pandas eat their mom's pooh. Did they send
two males, two females or one of each.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
I don't know. I saw the plane land, and I
haven't seen or I.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Saw the truck since I saw the trucks, truck, the
trucks on I think it was govern Air Dallas.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I saw them, I didn't. I saw the plane that.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Was a when they got here, but I have not
heard if it was, if it was a male and
a female, or if they were going to try to
make them more, if it was two males or two females.
Hawaiian pizza just a really just a sin against humanity.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
It is delicious.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Ham and pineapple, two things that do not belong on.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Pizza, absolutely belong on pizza.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Invented in Hawaii, which clearly not known for making pizza,
and it was invented by a guy named Sam Pan
in Ontario, Canada in nineteen sixty two. Icious when that
that doesn't make any sense, they claim it was invented
in Hawaii. But then they say, old Sam Panov.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Say that it wasn't invented Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
It was not Okay, it was not invented. Oh my god,
that makes it even worse.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
It's from a flipping canook, a Greek kananok good, so good.
It was a Greek kanook knew about pizza everything. You're
so alone on this which sucks. It must just suck
to be on that island.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh I'm alone, just suck to.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Be on that island all alone. You're just like so good,
and people are going like.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Tom Hanks and castaway you are?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You are?

Speaker 4 (10:17):
You keep patting yourself on the back, though, Tell everybody
how good it is.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
So good.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Geico came up with its gecko mascot in nineteen ninety
nine when there was a Screen Actors Guild strike that
kept them from using live actors. So I think it's hilarious.
I had heard that before, and you know they still
use it. It was really a genius idea, but they
did it out of necessity because they.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Couldn't use an actor.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
And finally Vito is a Latin word that means I forbid.
When you're vito or something, it's Latin for I forbid.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
It is DC's Classic Rock. It's National Crime Day. We'll
talk about that ConA. The fantastic invention that is the
croc has made a full on comeback and everybody their
mother's wearing them again. Now they're wearing them with heels.
I healed crocs. It's the thing flying off the shelves.
All right, we'll take care some business here. Back to

(11:19):
it just a few six forty three DC's Classic Rock.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
It's Big one.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Hundred WBIGFM, 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 (11:34):
And good morning to you.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
LeVar Arrington's going to join us on the show about
eight o'clock this morning. A little bit later, we're gonna
have some tickets to give away for the home game
against the Bears Northwest Stadium this weekend. And just how
much trouble can you get in for stealing political long signs.
We'll talk about that coming up here in just a few.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
It is DC's Classic Rock.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Big one hundred's Class Crock, it's a big one hundred Africa,
it's Toto boy.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
It depends on the state. But in Missouri, stealing a
yard sign, political yard sign, it's a misdemeanor can carry
twenty five hundred dollars fine, jail time or both. If
you add those up and get like fifty.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Counts of that.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Might be you've been busy.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
You might be in some trouble. It looks like this
took place in Ohio.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Go figure Springfield, Missouri, where they're eating the dogs and
the cats. There is a make an America Great Again
disciple who decided to steal a trunkful of Harris Walt's
signs off people's front lawns.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I just had my sign stolen off my lawn. I
won't tell you what it was.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
It might have been a trump Is King, it might
have been a it might have been a kamala Is queen.
I'm not gonna tell you what I had, but I
can tell you somebody stole it.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I did. It's gone.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
You don't have it anymore.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I don't have it anymore. It's probably in somebody's trunk.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
The Trump fanatic was tracked down because somebody apparently predicted
this was gonna be a problem and put an Apple
air tag on their sign.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
And it was stolen.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
They called the police, They tracked it, pulled the guy over,
opened his trunk.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh, he had a lot of them in there.

Speaker 4 (13:35):
The cop said it was kind of like finding a
dead body jokingly, and he said it was amazing how
many Harris Walt signs were stuffed inside this guy's trunk.
The thief became defensive, and I guess there's a woman
with him who scooped up all the signs out of

(13:56):
the trunk and tossed them on the ground and said, fine,
here you go Liberals. And the person whose sign was
stolen was also there and said, look, it's not cool.
You can't you can't steal signs, you know. And they
argued over whether it was a big deal or not.

(14:17):
But in the state of Missouri, Missouri law get you
twenty five hundred dollars fine, maybe jail time. And when
you got a trunk full of them, if they say
that's forty two counts, you might find yourself in a
bit of trouble.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
See if he were in Florida, though he would have
he would have the solid case of those aren't mine. Yeah,
I've never seen those before in my life. Don't know
how they got there.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, well, what do you mean that?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
The drugs? That the residue of cocaine in your nose,
not mine. Never seen it before, don't know how that
got there. Well, we found this this bag of heroin
up your butt. I don't know how it got there.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Strange. These people are crazy when they're they just caught
red handed and they're like, no, mine wasn't me. Yeah.
So here we go. Man, It's it's political season. It's
heating up.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
I think we're like thirteen days out now, the twelve
thirteen days out now, and next Tuesday it's gonna start
to get a little wacky. So, I mean it's already starting.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
To get whacked. It's gonna get even whack here next
next week or so. So get used to it, all right.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
It is seven thirteen DC's Classic Rockets, Big one hundred,
DC's Classic Rockets Big one hundred. Today is National croc Day,
October twenty third, every year. Some folks love them, some
folks hate them, but it is a National Crocks Day.
Crocks were originally designed as a boating shoe I didn't

(15:45):
know that.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
I could see them as a boating shoe.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
It was called the Beach and it was designed in
two thousand and two, and they sold it well at
the perfect event, the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. The shoes
were such a hit they sold two hundred pair that day,
and over the course of time, three hundred million, wow,
three hundred million pairs of Crocks have been sold. At

(16:08):
any given time, somebody's wearing a pair of Crocs. They
started out under different management with the main idea of
producing a foam clog, and then they bought the company
Foam Creations in order to secure the right to make
their foam based residents called cross Light. And apparently at

(16:29):
the time a lot of podiatrists were touting foam is
helping feet because of the way your foot will nestle inside.
And since then, Crocs have clearly taken on a life
of their own. They're sold in over ninety countries worldwide,
come in several different colors. Matter of fact, pretty much
any color in the rainbow, you can buy a pair

(16:51):
of Crocs.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
He can give cameo crocks.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
But first Crocs sold in two thousand and two, two
thousand and seven George W. Bush war repair with socks.
I might add later the Obamas were spotted wearing crocs.
Two thousand and eight, they made a golf shoe. It's
called the Ace. That was when they acquired a company

(17:16):
called Bite Footwear. And then it was twenty eighteen when
the high heeled versions came out and those.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Sold out immediately.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
I would have loved to been in that meeting, that
conference room when somebody threw up a poster board of
a crock with a heel on it, because anybody with
any common sense would have looked at it and went, oh, God, no, no,
that's never going to work.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Boy, were they wrong.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
As a boating shoe. They make sense.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
They flew off the shelves.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Now they make a clog with a heel, and then
they actually make a crock with a real heel, like
a two three inch heel.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
It is just amazing. But yeah, they you know, they
they were huge, and then they kind of they kind
of fell off the map for a little while, and
then they made a massive comeback and now they're everywhere.
Like I said, my son's got like god, ten different colors.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
The shoe that was too dumb for idiocracy, That it
was stupid to me.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
They said they were looking for a futuristic shoe and
somebody brought it to the producer and said, well, what
about the ease and he said that stupid nobody would
ever wear those, not even in the future. Again, boy
were they wrong. They just kind of defy all the odds.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Man.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
It's just like, never in a million years would you
think that the croc would be huge? And the one
that seriously blows me away. And if you ever get
a second, if you've never seen one, just google high
heeled crock and.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
You'll go, no, no, that'll never fly. Oh did it ever?
Did it ever?

Speaker 4 (18:54):
And they're just ridiculous looking. Well imagine a crock, right,
just kind of shaped into a high heel shape with
a with a big plastic three inch heel on the back.
And that's what they look like. And it's insane. You
can't keep them on the shelves.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Unreal.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I don't mind the cloggy looking one. Have you seen
the the I think they call it the Siren. That
might have been the first one they put out. So
it's a it's a crock, but it's got like a
clog heel, like a just a square thing. And then
they came out with the actual classic clog with a
hi high heel.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, like a stiletto. Unreal. And even when I look
up like a pull up videos looking at this, like
promotional video of somebody wearing a pair, and I just go, yeah,
those are butt ass ugly. People love them. People love them. Hey, man,
I have a pair. I might have two actually yeah,

(20:00):
oh yeah, man, you can get them in any color.
I'm gonna get lavender next. Yeah, you think of that, maybe, uh, pink,
I'd wear pink pair of cracks. I'm gonna start wearing
my crocs to work.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
I'm one of those people that's like, you know, yes,
I have them. Not my kid wears them like every day,
he wears them at school. I have them, but I
only wear them around the house because I'm like, these
are stupid. I'm gonna come out of that shell and
just start wearing them. I'm gonna wear them tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'm gonna wear them to work with pajava pants. I
don't care, please do I might?

Speaker 3 (20:32):
I do that on Saturdays?

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, well that's what I mean, on a Saturday.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
I do that on the weekend, yeah, absolutely, But I've
never thought about actually wearing them outside of the house.
It is maybe maybe to go check the mail. It
is seven twenty seven DC's Classic Rock. It is Big
one hundred. Let's give you a letter for the big
word of the week.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
The big word of the week on Big one hundred.
Today's letter is the letter C is in crocs.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
The letter C.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
All right, if you've been collecting the letters. At the
end of the week, it will spell a word. So
another letter coming your way about this time tomorrow, then
again Friday, and we have tso tickets to give away
this week. Trans Siberian Orchestra tickets were shown the twenty
third of December with the big word of the week.
It is DC's Class Crock, Big one hundred. DC's Class Crock.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's Big one hundred. Hey, well, chat with Lvar Aarons
had come up. It's about eight o'clock this morning.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
You just take on that Manders win over Carolina, and
of course the Bears game coming up this weekend.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
By the way, we have tickets to give away for
that game.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Hey, great news this morning, the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd
Austin said North Korea has deployed troops to Russia.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Oh boy, were their troops already there, and this is
like more troops that they're sending in.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
They've been sending them. It looks like they still don't
know why. They suspect maybe that they might get involved
in the Ukraine situation. I guess President Zelenski and Ukraine
has repeatedly warned that North Korean troops are joining the

(22:11):
war on Russia's behalf, telling no NATO summit last week
that ten thousand soldiers and technical personnel were being prepared
in the South. Korean spy agency said they witnessed fifteen
hundred soldiers, including special forces, deployed to Russia for training.
Oh fantastic, isn't that great?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
The average person has a regret or two or three
or four. There's a new survey.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
It says only one in ten Americans, well, just about
eleven percent of Americans say they don't have a single regret.
Just surprising.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
One in three boomers have a regret that now spans
three decades, and they say the average millennial their biggest
regret happened on average about eleven years ago, which means
he's in what sixth grade?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I know.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
The I see what you did there? How do they figure.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
I guess they were like, all right, they've surveyed a
bunch of millennials and said do you have regret? Yes,
when did it happen? On average, it was about eleven
years ago. And they say that most Americans are more
likely kick this around food for thought, more likely to
regret things you don't do than things that you have done.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I can see that.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah, and well I'm supposed to.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Good news is close to seventy percent of people say
their decision making has gotten better as they've gotten older.
That's true, since making those those bad decisions, those regrets.
I find that interesting to you. Hear that a lot.
You're more likely too. I saw this thing.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
It was in a documentary and they were talking to
people in like on hospice and people in like nursing homes,
asking them about regrets. And that was the biggie. That
was the big takeaway. It was like, it wasn't people
regretted doing things or certain decisions they made. It was

(24:22):
always that they regretted what they had not done, things
they wanted to do that they did not do. And
you know their big takeaway is life is short, man.
You want to buy those crocks buy those crocs. Eh,
I want to take that trip, take that trip.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Do you have any regrets?

Speaker 1 (24:45):
Well, don't we all?

Speaker 4 (24:46):
What do you mean, like like life regrets, like based
on decisions? You brought it up like, well, I'm asking
based on decisions or regrets about things or haven't done.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I would say, on the have.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Not done yet, I would like to think there's still
plenty of time to do those things, so I don't
regret those things yet.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
How's that escalating? Russia so big?

Speaker 1 (25:11):
It's hard because that's a great question because typically, typically
has been my experience that even the really crappy things
that happen in life, whether it was a bad decision
by you or whether it was just bad luck, typically

(25:33):
you come out actually better on the other side of it.
I can't recall well up until now, in this very
situation here, sitting this current conversation, sitting in this studio.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
In Washington, d C. Of all places. No, Seriously, I
feel like if you look back and and I'd like
to think I'm not alone on this. When you look
and you look at like all the twists and turns
and all the things that happen in life, right, even
the really crappy things ninety nine point nine percent of

(26:09):
the time you.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Go, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Now, that had to
happen if that didn't.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Happen, the butterfly effect. And I'm always afraid of like
like tampering with that because like the worst things, like
the worst moments of my life turn into something eventually
led to the best exactly.

Speaker 4 (26:25):
And so I like to think, even sitting here in
this studio with you in Washington, DC.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
That there is a reason.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's got to be the gods have to be planning.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
I mean, there has to be something on the other side, right, No,
But I I believe that when I look back and
look at even the worst things that like, oh my god,
you go, well, yeah, but that led to this, which
is better.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Right, Yes, So.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
In short, I would say no, no, no regrets. However,
I tried to remain cognizant of the fact that if
you wait too long, you might have regrets about things
you didn't do, you know, which I think that's the bigger.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Fear, to be honest with you, the not doing it,
not doing stuff. Yeah, you always put stuff off, right,
I'll do that. I'll do that.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
I think of I thought of this morning, Matthew Sweet.
How old is Matthew Sweet? Can you google that real quick?
He's not that old.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
I always confuse him with the guy from Striper.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Mat Matthew Sweet was the alternative ARTISTEAD of the nineties.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Michael Sweet was the guy from Striper.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
He's saying a girlfriend sick, myself, a couple others that
were hit sixty. Okay, so he's sixty years old. He's
out on tour. He's out on tour with Hansen. They're
doing this world tour.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Dude just had a massive stroke at one of the
shows and is now in rehabilitation, like to where they
say it's going to be years long the recovery.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
It was not a small stroke. It was a big stroke.
And think about that and go Matthew Sweet at sixty
years old, out on the road, touring doing what he loves.
I guarantee you he had a laundry list of things
he had planned to do in the next twenty years, right,
laundry list of things he wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You know, I'm finally gonna do this as soon as
this tour is over. And power, I don't know where
sucks sucks?

Speaker 3 (28:23):
All right?

Speaker 4 (28:24):
Well, now that I am thoroughly depressed as we all are.
And no, you should take away the positive note from
that conversation.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
I think that whole conversation started with North Korea's in Russia.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, well that's not good. That's not good. That can
only lead to that can only lead to bad things.
I send Matthew sweet positive vibes. But the takeaway you
should have here is it even the bad stuff leads
to something better, and to make sure to get out
and do the things you want to do because it
doesn't last forever.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
How's that we go? That's a good rape well and
on a positive note there, and you're all gonna die eventually.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Happy Wednesday, we will.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
On a brighter note, we'll chat with LeVar Arrington about
the Commanders. That's a bright spot. The Commanders have got
a winning season going. It is DC's Class crock, Big
one hundred, DC's Class Crocket, It's big one hundred. And
about that time once again joining us on the line Redskins.
Great LeVar Arrington, how are you this morning, sir?

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Doing very well?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (29:29):
How you doing? I am?

Speaker 4 (29:31):
I am fantastic coming off a big win. Yeah, we
hear jadon daniels Is week to week. But I'll tell
you what. Mariota stepped up, didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
He He did step in, and he did step up.
I will say the only concern I had was that
is that was a team where you could get away
with Mariota stepping up, you know, And so it's kind
of like you got to take it at face value.
They got the win, and it was a convincing win.
It was a big win. It was an impressive win,
and that's that should send out an is that a

(30:01):
good team should win in the manner of which they want.
So it's almost like we're now transitioning into a place
where we actually can say they're a good team. But
now the question becomes how good can they be without
a healthy Jake Daniels, And that's always going to be

(30:21):
that's always going to be the key point here right now.
You've got a few key injuries, you don't have Big
John in there, you lose a heart and soul, a
leader that you have. It's just to me, looking at
where the team is at right now, this is a very,
very pivotal point of the season for them because you're

(30:42):
now getting into the meat of the season where you're
going to see teams either start to trend up or
trend down and out, and this team is showing a
positive trajectory. But again, the one thing that can can
change a teams for is obviously injuries to key players,

(31:03):
and Jay Daniels that's as key a injury as you'll have.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
I cringed on that forty six yard run at the
end of it when it looked like he got folded
up like a pretzel. He popped right back up and
it looked like he was going to be okay. But
then you could see him grimace over the next couple
couple of players, and you're like, uh oh, Now, you
played for many years and obviously I think anybody's played
the game has had a rib injury. How how long
does that typically take to come back from? If it's
not serious?

Speaker 2 (31:27):
I think it just again it is whatever is how
serious in nature it is. But I mean, I don't know,
I didn't get like the details of it. Is it
was it a bruise? Was it like? Was it I
don't know what the you know, what the actual injury was.
So I'm not I'm not one hundred percent sure what

(31:48):
to stay in terms of how long it'll be. But
I would assume knowing that you can't like can't put
a cast on a rib or anything like that, right,
it's probably going to take just the time for it
to heal up in terms of what like a bruise
or something would be because it's I didn't hear anything
if it would have been fractured or anything like that.
You know, you you would hear about that, like if

(32:10):
it's ribbed or if something was wrong with his ribs
that way. But so I would say it's probably like
like they said, week the week, maybe two to three weeks,
I would say, before before he's able to to really
get back on the field of gates what it is
he has going on. If it's the type of rib
injury that you know, I would be aware of that
that would take place, right.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
You know, everybody was no doctor.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I know, I'm no doctor. I'm I'm no I'm no trainer,
So I don't know the serious and nature of what
he has going on with his ribs. That's why I
say one of the biggest factors here is I know
Marioda did a great job filling in, but make no
mistake about it, the momentum of this team has been
created and generated by a lot of this, the success

(32:55):
and excitement that's been created by Jason Daniels being in there.
I don't know how sustainable it is for for Marcus
Mariota to be the catalyst for this offense. I give
it one, maybe two weeks. He buys you time, but
they you know, obviously the best case scenario is that

(33:16):
Jaydon can hill up in the next week or two
and and get back out there maybe within two to
three or four weeks that, you know, hope, hoping at
the most. You say he needs four weeks to get
back to.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Counter that, I'll say, yeah, you know, LeVar, though they
said that about Nick Foles back in the day too, Yeah,
a Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
I think these are very different, and Nick Foles is
and not saying taken anything from Marcus Mariota. Maybe if
I took a deeper dome, maybe there are some similarities
and some comparables to it, but I certainly do not
hope that there are too many comparables to it. I
would like to see Jon Daniels come back.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
And oh yeah, yeah, we would all like to see
Jayden come back and playing. Yeah, you know that was
that that game This weekend is you know, was it
was one a lot of people are looking forward to. So,
you know, maybe there's a chance he gets to come
back and face off against Caleb Williams. We hope, So
if not, I think the priority is let's just make
sure he's better before we put him back out on
the field. Hey, as we bounce around the league, if

(34:21):
we head over to the Jets, I think everybody thought
the addition of DeVante Adams was maybe gonna light a
fire under their ass, and that didn't seem to be
the case. Aaron Rodgers is just not looking like Aaron
Rodgers lately.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
You know, I just think it's interesting. He came out
and said, you know, they don't what did they need
to do in order to kind of accomplish what Aaron
Rodgers says he still feels and believes that they can accomplished.
He said, stop listening to us and like listening to
the media. I just think that, you know, minimizing the
amount of focus on other things like the creativity of

(35:00):
how to address the questions that are going to come
your way. I mean it's almost like Aaron Rodgers has
become like Jerry Jones of the New York Jets. You know,
it's like a weekly presser that you kind of try to,
you know, figure out, you know, is he going to
have an emotional reaction to it? Is it where is
he taking us today with how he feels? And one

(35:22):
has the opportunity to impact games while the other one doesn't.
And it's interesting because as an owner, you'd say, all right, well,
maybe you should stay away from getting into the media
too much in terms of what you're talking about, and
then as a player, you want to try to like
balance out, you know, how you're interacting and what you're

(35:43):
talking about and the things you're doing and how you're
handling things as applies to the media. So it's like
kind of like, you know, both both are our situations
where they should be very very mindful of how they're
presenting themselves. And I think that that's become more of
the storyline than even you know, Aaron Rodgers played right,

(36:05):
and so I just feel like before the season gets
too far away from Aaron Rodgers and his team, Aaron
Rodgers just really needs to focus in on playing football
because everything else that he's done, he might be realizing
now the Green Bay market is not the great, is
not the new York market right like that, that media
market is way way, way more into it and on it.

(36:29):
And listen, Green Bay is a great market because they
love their football. But you know, let's make make making
no mistake about it, that's the number one, number two
media market in the world he's in right now. And
so now everything is screutinized, like don't you find yourself
looking at Aaron Rodgers, like his body, mannerisms and his
facial expression. I'm more interested in seeing how he looks

(36:51):
after a play than I am on the play itself,
you know. And it's all because of what has been
created with this media blitz that's been surrounding him. And
let's be clear, he's the reason why. He's the reason
for this media blitz and all that stuff. He's the
reason why he's got to say, we got to stop
listening to you guys. You're creating the narratives that are

(37:15):
being ran with by the media. In the first place,
you minimize what you're doing within the media and just
maybe the noise minimize or maybe the shift and focus
you know, has changed, and this team can possibly have
a fair opportunity to just getting back to playing football.
But right now, it's the Aaron Rodgers circus, and I

(37:38):
feel like it's the catalyst as so why this New
York Jefts team is struggling so much.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
I have nothing but respect for Aaron Rodgers' career, and
I just hate to see I don't want to see
him go out like this. I want to see him
going out playing well and being Aaron Rodgers. And it's
just like you said, it's kind of become a circus
for sure. Let me ask you, I was really surprised
that the forty nine ers were favored going in that
game against Kansas City. That blew me away. I said

(38:03):
to myself, well, no way. Kansas City always finds a
way to win. And of course they did.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
They found a way to win.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, And I tell you what, man, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
They needed to find a way. I think they just
kind of handily won that game.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
They may do it again. They I mean, they look
like the best.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Time I picked them, the beat I picked on the
Beef Detroit. I think the NFC is a weak division. Yeah,
I think that there's there's the opportunities for some teams
to establish themselves like our commanders. Uh. But all in all,
I think it's a week a week division in comparison
to the AFC division, And we just discussed that on

(38:41):
the show this morning. You know, in terms of if
you look at elite quarterbacks quarterback play, you know you
got you got Patrick Mahomes, you got Josh Allen, you
have come on here, there's like two, two, three more
Lamar Jackson. You know, you could possibly at some point
possibly possibly maybe o Russell Wilson in there if he

(39:01):
has a couple more good, good weeks. Sure, I think
I feel like there's one more quarterback that I'm missing
in the a f C that's like an elite quarterback.
But when you think about elite quarterback play on the
NFC side of the division, and can they stand up
to an AFC opponent in the Super Bowl? What quarterbacks
in in the NFC? Are we giving elite status to me? Like? Yeah,

(39:29):
So let's let's not get carried away. I think he's
off to a great start and I think that he's
showing to be a fine addition to the National Football League.
But I'm being a fan, LaVar, I'm being a fan.
I wit you there, But just and and listen. With
that being said, they are a team that can contend

(39:51):
for the NFC right like now, now, it doesn't seem
so far fetched to think that the Washington Commanders could
actually le contend and compete for a divisional crown. I
don't think the NFC is very strong as a whole
in its entirety. You know, I would love to be
able to say Dayling Hurts is an elite quarterback, and

(40:15):
he has shown to be an elite quarterback, He's not
playing at an elite level right now. And you look
around Dak Prescott is not playing as an elite quarterback
right now, like who else? Jared Goff is maybe the
only one you can throw in the category of possibly
saying that he's playing at an elite level. But is
he an elite quarterback? You know, maybe that's up for debate.

(40:38):
I don't know. But then you look around the rest
of the league, the rest of the NFC. Who is
an elite quarterback in the NFC? And I don't know that.
I don't know that we could definitively say somebody is
in that category right now.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
So we forgot Daniel Jones. I mean, yeah, throw him in.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well he's elite, all right, but it's elite in a
different category.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
There you go. Hey, LeVar, thank you so much for
taking the time.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
It is always a pleasure to speak with you and
look forward to talking to you again next week.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
All right, all right, sounds good. Congrats to the great
Darryl Green on his career and on the retiring of
his jersey.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Absolutely yeah, well deserved. All right, man, have a great day.
All right, sounds good. DC's plus Crockead's Big one hundred.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
You ever go into your hidden folders on social media
accounts like Instagram or Facebook, you know, the ones you
don't see unless you go looking for him?

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Man, I got some great messages here. This is from
Lena Hi Jackson. I'm looking for a new content partner.
You're cute? Are you interested? She's half naked of course.
This one's from This one's from Dawn. You're cute message
me here, so my boyfriend doesn't see. But then the

(41:54):
next one, you're cute message me. Here's some my boyfriend
doesn't see. Next one, you're cute message to me here,
so my boyfriend doesn't see. I don't think this is legit.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
You ever respond to any of those I have?

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah? You know, more like nice? Try f off they
don't respond back.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
I like, I try to start conversations, especially the ones
that come in text form.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
I always try to start conversations, but they don't go
that far.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
This one.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Hey, sorry for texting from a fake account, but I
kind of like you. You seriously have to make the
first move on my main account or this isn't going anywhere.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
That's from Selena.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
Oh yeah, any think of that that. Those are my favorite,
and lately I've been getting They've been popping up on
Instagram in the feed left and right, these foreign accounts
that that say. We've joked about these before because it
was like the third person on your list is missing you,
or the second person on your list is this or that? Well,

(42:57):
now they're all these foreign accounts are popping up and
it'll be like trust us, second person, go marry you soon.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
What that sounds legit?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
It's like, are they just are the accounts just trying
to get followers to make money somehow?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
I don't understand what they're.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Doing, Like those are showing up in your feed?

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, trust me, second person missing you?

Speaker 3 (43:23):
See, I don't get those.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
You don't get those. They've been popping up like left
and right.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Get the text more than I get anything on social media.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
And now I'm scrolling through to see if I can
find one, and of course they don't pop up when
I'm looking.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
But they're just the grammar is so poor. You're like,
what what does that say? What does that say? It
is time once again for Florida Man, Florida man, these
classic rockets, big one hundred. Didn't this just happen here? Recently?

Speaker 4 (43:55):
Is a story about a guy that stole an ambulance. Yes,
that was there was It was in Virginia.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
It was last year. Because it was we followed it
until they found the ambulance.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Guy was like, yeah, oh, he escaped a hospital or
something and or an er and ran outside and locally
ran outside and jumped in the ambulance and drove off
and it took him like days to find the dude.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
I think. So that's familiar Florida.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Yeah, we did, for sure.

Speaker 4 (44:20):
There was a Florida man that led deputies on a
chase that ended at their front door.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Looks like a similar similar situation.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Paramedics were assisting a man who was experiencing quote an
altered mental state and possibly under the influence of drugs.
At some point during that encounter, the patient, identified as
Stanley Williams, thirty five years old, jumped in the front
of the ambulance and took off.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
A chase ensued.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
The ambulance hit a curb, blew a tire, and guess
where it crashed.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Right on the front line of the Sheriff's office. Looking
at a picture, it almost ran into the Sheriff's office,
it looks like it felt just a few feet short.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Police say, it's not every day a pursuit ends at
our front door, but just goes to show you we never.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Know what we'll encounter from one moment to the next.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
He was immediately taken into custody without incident, and then
taken to a hospital to be checked out.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
That's a bad day when you steal an ambulance and
you crash it on the front lawn of the police station.

Speaker 3 (45:39):
Things aren't going your way, and then are taken back
to the hospital. Eight twenty nine. It is DC's Classic Rock.

Speaker 4 (45:46):
Dennis coming up with Sports on Tap just around the corner,
Mike Florio Jones just on the show tomorrow and just
before nine o'clock this morning, We're gonna have tickets to
give away for the home game against the Bear stick
around DC's Classic Rocket's Big.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
One hundred, DC's Classic Crocket is.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Well, we got an election coming up. We have a
trading deadline on November fifth, Buddy.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Well, there's a couple of things, big things. That's what
I was going to get to. A couple of big
things coming up. We have an election, Yeah, and then
we have the trade dead more importantly, the trade deadline
and the trade deadline. Here's what caught my interest this morning. Yeah,
I saw Jamie Davis, number number one draft choice gone
was released.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
Yeah. Release. My first thought was it was a little
bump because I like Jamion Davis.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
But yeah, he you know, he moved from linebacker to
defensive end.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
And I remember thinking the other day, Wow, you really
haven't seen much of Jamon Davis, have you. I don't
know why that popped him out. He scratched last week. Yeah, yeah,
popped in my head, like, well, I have not seen
his name. And then I saw he was released. I'm like,
who they're making room for? Who they make in room for?
Rights are turning as a GM on Friday. I believe
you have a special relationship with Adam Peters he did

(46:54):
tell me last week he's going to take my job.
I think he sounded good on the area. Said, I'm
gonna come take the chances of maybe he does this
show for an hour and you go be the gym.
Is there any chance that in an hour you could
run that franchise into the ground? But with your lack
of expertise.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
With an hour, I'd have us we'd be a super
Bowl contender. I could do his job for an hour.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
They're already a super Bowl contender. You don't you don't
need to wreck that. It's super Bowl victory. He could
have everybody be degenerate gamblers over there inside the building.

Speaker 4 (47:23):
Give me one hour with Peter's job, and I will
either aid destroy that team or b it will be
the best team to ever play.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
I'd love to see your whiteboard. Who'd like to bring in?
I'm bringing them all in. I'm bringing well, you got
some salary cat to play with?

Speaker 4 (47:38):
I got a lot of salary cap I'm bringing a
ton of players. And now when I'm done with my
day there, he's gonna have to send them all home.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
That wasn't real. You'll probably be sent home to Yeah
all right, hey, but yeah, they're they're cleaning house on
ever being a coach and a GM there. Yeah, really,
last one left is a manual for I was just
going to say Forbes, and then I thought the number
one draft choices. I don't know anybody that's left. McLaurin
was before Rivera. Yeah, yeah Forbes. Yeah, who, by the way,

(48:11):
got a pick last week. No, you're good for the kid. Yeah. Listen,
you and I have talked about this for years. There
are two things that as fans we don't get, but
we hear about it. We talk about like we know
but we don't. One of them is scheme and fit
and does a player who has a skill set does
he fit into that?

Speaker 2 (48:28):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Right? And the other thing that we don't know about
because we just don't know, is is that player with
those skill sets getting the proper coaching that he needs
to succeed at the NFL. And you're seeing a night
and day difference, probably with Emmanuel Forbes, from last year
to this year. And you see it all the time.

Speaker 4 (48:46):
You see a player who did not drive in one
city goes to another and becomes a superstar.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Yeah, can just be that simple? Yeah, I'll give you
another example. You can see Jackson. It's very clear he
doesn't fit in here, a big one hundred, right, nothing works. Right.
But if he goes to Philly or maybe I don't know, Albuquerque,
perfect fit maybe yeah, well maybe you're right about that
court people have taste. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

(49:12):
But I hope the kid succeeds because example, yeah, okay,
clearly some idiot thought Austin Eckler was that the tank
was empty. Not even close. Yeah, not even close. Look
at how will. I will tell you though, and you
know this as well as anybody, because of a big
sports venue or sometimes just a change of scenery does

(49:33):
well for the organization and the player. Now, Eckler got
into it with a Chargers on salary the last couple
of years he was there. Yeah, so he got contentious.
And listen, when you're a player and you only have
so much, especially as a running back, they should have
paid him, and they should have, but they chose not
to know what they didn't and it's it's our game.
I'm glad they did you And I said when we
got him, as long as he's healthy, that guy is

(49:54):
going to be able to bring it. Stud. He's great
and so combine him with b Robin. You just have this.
I'll tell you one thing I've noticed about b rob
this year, and I've talked to you about this during
the Games, is that you know, between what happened to
be Rob a couple of years ago, with the awful
shooting that happened with him, Yeah, and now that he
is healthy and watching him at Alabama too, how he
ran and how he's running now, the one thing that

(50:16):
he's doing beside being completely healthy is that he is
stepping in the ground hard and cutting. And he hadn't
been doing that last year. Because remember, he's a guy
that runs inside the tackles and he's hard to bring down.
But if you had the element of your speed and
being able to plant your foot and cut like he
is this year, he's almost unstoppable.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
And you can see it now. It's that piece of
lead in his leg. It's like it's like he's like
a bionic man. Well, it's like when Spider Man got
a bit. But you know, it's like it probably made
him superhuman. It wasn't it was it was his leg right, So.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
You know, I don't know if it was his leg
or his abdomen.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
I'm sorry that I cannot remember, but it was awful
that it happened. But I think that he between being
really healthy this year, getting coaching this year. He is
a monster, well he is, but he's running differently. He's
running with authority. Yeah he's but he watched him. He's
cutting better. He's one of my favorite players. He reminds
me a lot of Shawn Alexander, former Seahawks who should

(51:16):
be in the Hall of Fame because he's got He
had so many touchdowns in a short amount of time.
They're both Alabama and they both had the same body
size and type how they run. But watch some Sean
Alexander film and it looks like him. It looks like
b Rob. And wait, I'm happy for b Rob because
he was a high draft choice and they expect a

(51:38):
lot of him and he's bringing it this year. Just
wait till we have b Rob and Saquon Barkley and
we have Terry McLaurin. And on the other side of
the field, we got a J. Brown.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
These moves make when I when I get in there
for now, I love this.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Bring some Eagles in. Somebody died in baseball. Fernando Valenzuela
and only sixty three. Don't know the cause yet. By
the way, I grew up with Valenzuela playing in and
his first year Rookie of the Year and MVP. And
he had that unusual throwing style. He's left hander, how
he looked up in the air and took his time

(52:19):
delivering to the plate. I was watching on TikTok this
morning one of his no hitters. He was just one
of the most classic pitchers in all of baseball. They
did not that I have seen yet, but you yeah,
sixty three, but he was a Dodger legend. But because
he was so different and with his Latino background, he

(52:39):
was just of course ingratiated in Los Angeles. But he
was just such a great I loved watching him pitch. No.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
Yeah, I mean when you sent me that text this morning,
I was like, oh crap. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
And right before the World Series two on Friday starting,
which is real sad. Do you think they'll do some
sort of like they'll do they'll do a memorial for him,
and they might put his name ors number on something.
But go back and look at Fernando tapes, folks. He
just a completely unusual pitching style. But one of the best.
Especially when he came into major League baseball, he dominated.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
You know who just popped him, Randy A big toe Johnsons.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Yeah, played with the Mariners and the Diamondbacks. I remember, yeah,
when he hit the seagull, When he hit.

Speaker 4 (53:21):
The seagull that just when we were talking baseball, that
Jess popped into my head.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
By the way, that guy threw over one hundred miles
an hour doing he was six ' ten. You know
what he's doing. He's doing, uh well. I saw him
do a couple of commercials. He goes on Dan Patrick's
show a lot. Yeah, but he's doing podcast and he's
really he was really a quiet guy when he played.
Is such a big man. I think he's kind of shy.
He's really come out of his shell to be a
very interesting can. I guess he's a musician too. I'll

(53:47):
send you some stuff.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
But it's really cool. He's gone onto a bunch of
different things and having a lot of fun and really
enjoying life. But when Randy Johnson was on Imagine Somebody
six ' ten it's probably I don't know, two hundred
and forty pounds. Oh yeah, clearly he started with the
expos Seattle got him for a song and then he
just dominated with the Mariners. They cut him loose for
some bizarre reason. When he was hurt. He went Arizona

(54:09):
and I think he won a World Series with that. Yeah, yeah,
but imagine he was six ' ten and about two
forty throwing one hundred miles an hour at you. There's
a there's a thing beside hitting the bird. And by
the way, that was during a game where he actually
hit a bird on his pitch. It was insane, it
was it was crazy feathers. Yeah, I be able to
say the bird died. But he was in an All

(54:31):
Star game and he threw purposely over somebody's head at
one hundred miles an hour and every ad bad. But
he had a big laugh about it, and he did
it purposely. Nobody got hurt. I'll send that to you,
But it just shows how intimidating this dude was when
he played. I didn't realize he was. And he was
a left hander too. Imagine a left hander throwing one
hundred miles an hour. Who's six ten at you? But listen,

(54:52):
Fernando was one of the best. Go look back at filming.
That guy he was at a sad loss at only
sixty three. So a couple more notes Capitol One in
Philly last night, Sorry about your flyers. For one, they
play again tonight. It's a home and home yep. So
they are going at it tonight and Caps Hockey. They're
off to a good start, by the way, which is
very encouraging.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
Video this morning to the locker room before the game
for the Caps game.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
What did you see? It was just him getting fired
up before the game.

Speaker 4 (55:19):
Is always one of those things where like by the
end of it, you want to run through a brick wall, you.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Get and seven point thirty tonight at Cap One if
you want to head to the game tonight. But they're
off to night start. Last year it was a really
rough start, yep. And I thought the team was a
little bit too old, and they have shedded some of
their old players. And of course tj Oshi is on
long term disability. That's not the proper wording. But he
is not in uniform. He's not on the roster right now.
It's the back. I don't know if he'll ever return.

(55:45):
I'd love for him, but you and I saw him
get banged up pretty bad. Last year's I don't know
if tj Oshi returns to this team. I hope he does,
but I just don't know.

Speaker 4 (55:52):
Tomorrow, no, probably Friday, we'll get an update on Jadon Daniels.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Well, listen, they practiced today, so Quinn will talk to
the media either before after and we will find out.
But I know you and LeVar Arrington talked about it.
I mean, I want to. We don't know the severity
of the rib in. Obviously we want to. But his
mom said he's okay. Yeah, that's all that matters. We
want him rest. And if mom says he's okay, he's okay.
But I say he plays, I hope he does. I
say he plays against the Bears. I hope he does.

(56:17):
I don't think he's going to turn down playing against
Caleb for a lot of different obvious reasons. Four twenty
five kick on Sunday right here on Big one hundred.
Remind me before you go. I'm gonna send you a
video later of somebody did it was the GM of
the Giants, Okay, And it's a video floating around right now,
and he's got his kids in the office with him.

(56:37):
Is this from Hard Knocks or I don't know if
it was from hard Is it from this year? It was?

Speaker 4 (56:41):
It's pre draft, okay, and it is from this year
because it was pre draft. And he's asking his son,
who's laying on the couch just throwing a ball up
in the air. And his son looks to be like,
you know, thirteen fourteen years old, who should I get?
And his son keeps saying, Jade Daniels, Jade Daniels. He goes, well,
he's not gonna be available. Who's your next ras He's like,
Jade Daniels. His son goes, you only get one shot
at this job. You should probably try to win.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
That is fantastic. I got to send it to you.
Usually are the worst people on the planet. Right, That
was fantastic, Right, he was right.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
