now it's time for this.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yesterday on Fox NFL Sunday, they sent Terry Bradshaw home.
He showed up to work sick at the age of
seventy seven. Now here's what happened.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
It's before noon in most of the country, so I
guess we call ourselves the Morning the Show. You may
notice there's highway long Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw's not with us.
He came to work sick this morning, so he decided
to go home. Not feeling well, decided to go home.
We sent him home. That's more the truth. All right,
let's talk football right now.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Okay, okay, So there's a bit of a something.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
We have to go back in time because I think
Michael Strahan absolutely.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Hates Terry Bradshaw. Get in line.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So we're going to go back to about a month ago.
Terry Bradshaw is going on something about Washington and then
he's got a note about texting Andy Reid, and then
he stops and full dementia kicks in and he might
be drunk. And at the very end, Michael Strahan goes,
how did you get to work today? So I think
(02:15):
Michael Strahan's very tired of it. So this is from
a month ago, just to show you where Terry Bradshaw's
broadcast cast broadcasting careers right now.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Well, here's the thing about Washington. This is scary everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
So well, Daniels goes out.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
But Marcus Mariota, the pretty dog gone good football player,
even though he's a backup to Daniel former number one pick.
They get a Lauren mclauren back. Today, they get Deebo
Samuel's back.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
They're playing better. But the thing that I would worry
about more.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
So in Washington is the other day I text Andy
Reid and I got a text back and I thought
it was Sandy Reid, but it's some guy selling pigs.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
But I sounded good.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
I should have told you all that, so y'all would
have thought I actually talked to Andy Reid, but I
didn't really know. I wish you could say people because
they're like the point. The point is that they have
continuity with the point.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, the point.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
We're all like, where the heck is he going? Right now?
I have no idea what's going on? The prompter says,
Grog's not with us at the dust this week. Make
it to the studio. How did you make it to
the studio?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Man?
Speaker 6 (03:21):
God, how old is he? Seventy six? Seventy seven?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Is Jimmy still on that shirt that he was tired?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Tired?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, okay, time to hang it up. It's tough when
you have a legend, but he's clearly not. I mean,
I'd argue he wouldn't ever that good in the first one.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
This but college basketball here, this is our FS one's
Alvaro Figurerires. He's talking about a player who's very long.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
They call him Elulpo.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
That is Spanish for octopus.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
He may only have two arms, but the way he
plays defense, Yeah, they think he's got eight fenacles.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Were all over the place on all except the same point. Tentacles. Yep, yep,
pretty easy. One think he's got eight tentacles. We're all
over the place. Tests are all over the place.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's tough when that happens to somebody. It is and
they're everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
You know, Can I talk about the Me and Green
for a second number twenty two in the nation, ranked
in the top twenty five for the first time since
nineteen fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Christina, where were you when you learned that North Texas
was number twenty two? Right now?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I was sitting on the couch going through Twitter and
I saw the tweet that said that are you happy?
I was very happy. That's really cool.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
So with this notoriety, apparently John Gruden works for Barstool
Now and John Gruden, what you can do to get
a little pub You can really just do, pale little Plugola.
Just send him a box of your gear and he'll
start talking about your team. Okay, the problem is, and
I've edited this down, we can start and stop it
a whatever.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
The problem is.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
It gets increasingly weirder as it goes on. So get
ready to step into the Jay John Gruden vortex. By
the way, it's his son Jake, who's filming.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
In North Texas the Mean Green. You ever heard of
this dam? Yeah, they're eight and one. They used to
be called the North Texas State Eagles back in the day,
and they had a big defensive lineman named Joe. His
last name was Joe Green, and the color of the
uniforms had green in them, and they kept watching North
Texas say, and they.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
Said, man, that guy's meat. So what they do?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
They changed your name to the Mean Green like me
and Joe Green. I swear to god they did that.
They're green and white from Denton, Texas.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
That it's the Mean Green Eagle.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Okay, so pretty nice, pretty basic for giving you the
basic details of what the school's about. Yeah, but apparently
he's gotten on the Wikipedia page of North Texas or
Denton and they've given him here's some things to hit.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
And he just keeps going. He's just holding up shirts
and hoodies, hats.
Speaker 1 (06:00):

across it. It's hard to look away. There's something about
the unboxing process. You're like, what's in that box?

you do an imitation of him, just say what he
really says.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So I want to I want to circle back to
Bradshaw the way you started this, because it reminds me
of Friday, Like we we have settled into this point
now with our show to where if any of us
are sick, we just avoid each other because we do
the show in a small room. And it used to
be I think back in the day, people would look
admirably about man. He played sick, he played hurt, he
came to work sick and look at what a trooper.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, I think all that's changed now. Man, he got
everybody sick.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yeah, Like, dude, you're not.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Bradshaw's not doing anyone any favors by showing up deathly ill,
only risking getting the entire show sick. And we have
a listener who's a good friend of ours, great guy,
and he came out to our remote at Pluckers, and
he looked terrible. He was like jaundiced and yellow. He
looked bad. And I was like, hey, how you doing.
(10:40):
He's like, no, I'm not good. I just haven't been
able to stop throwing up.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
And he was.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Giving me a hug. He was shaking my head to behind.
I'm like, dude, and he goes it's not contagious. I go,
how do you know? He goes, I just know.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I'm like, so he tried to hug me when we
were leaving.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And I had to put my elbow in his chest
to hold him up. I'm like, I love you, but
I don't want to get sick. Right, what you're saying right,
And it's just but God bless him, he's a great guy.
I'm just saying, man, we just stay away from each
other when we're sick. Now we we definitely sequester. Yeah,
well that's gonna do it for today's show.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
My god. I'm looking forward to more Gruden in the future.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'll never forget the time that Kat looked at sick
Kid dead in the eye and he said to him.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Was end the today?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
