Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four, ready
to go, and we start out in Miami, Miami, Miami,
big game this weekend as the Dolphins take on the
Eagles and the lead up to that game. What is
your takeaway from Mike McDaniel's passionate defense of Tua Tunguebailawa. Also,
(00:21):
how do you assess Mike McCarthy's handling of Jerry Jones
and Jerry course always in front of a microphone, and
McCarthy was asked about what it's like to deal with
Jerry giving hot takes on everything, and the Rams coach,
waiting for the birth of his son, said he's not
gonna miss the Rams game this weekend with the Steelers.
What is Sean mcvay's message. We'll get to that and
(00:44):
more right now here. It is our number four. Have
a wonderful Thursday. Here we go swimming with the Finns. Well,
God come in the beginning of another hour of the

As we are hanging out coast, the coast, border, the border,
and you name it here hand in glove as we challenge, provoke,
(01:25):
and educate in the air everywhere. We are emanating live

this hour, coming from South Beach. The preamble Big game
this weekend. I don't know if you're paying attention. In
the week seven of the NFL kicks off with a game.
(02:06):
I'm sure Al Michaels right now is planning his after
after dinner meal there after game meal, I should say,
the dinner after the game there in the New Orleans
as they go to the Bayou. Jacksonville kicks things off
with the New Orleans Saints. But in the big matchup
this weekend Sunday Night football, the Miami football team versus
(02:29):
the Philadelphia football team. In the preamble for that particular matchup,
there it's a little bit of a drama situation here.
I wouldn't call it a def Con one, more like
a def Con three or four. But he caught our
attention and we've got some good audio, so I thought,
why don't we go for that? And if you didn't
(02:51):
hear what happened here Mike McDaniel, who's right up there
with Mike Tomlin in terms of dopey soundbites that we like,
like the dumb soundbites. We live for the dumb soundbites.
So he's the coach of the Dolphins. He looks like
he should be one of the ball boys for the Dolphins,
but he's the head coach of the Dolphins. He's a
good SoundBite. And he was asked if Tua Tongue of
(03:13):
Iloa was a system quarterback and that you just plug
and play any quarterback in the system of Mike McDaniel
and you would be successful because it's the playmakers, it's
the scheme. It's not anything that Tua Tongue of Iloa
is doing. So we're gonna play the question because that's
(03:34):
part of the story. And as Warner Wolf would say,
let's go to the audio tape, take a list.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
There are some folks who believe that many quarterbacks in
this scheme which you as the coach with Tyrek and Jalen,
maybe even many many quarterbacks would excel, would flourish near
the top of the passer raider leading MVP candidate. What
if any push back is their relatives to.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Win a hold on.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Podium over? My answer to that would be who the
f cares? Because it's it is a team. We're working together,
and I know one thing of coach stuff a long time.
I haven't seen people do what our guys do.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There you go, all right, so about to push the
podium over, and I haven't seen guys do what our
guys do. Let us discuss the question here. What is
your takeaway from what we just heard Mike McDaniel's defense
of to a tongue of b loo. So I've got
Larry King court gesture and artisan and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:45):
make a monsoon of fly Eagles Fly, which is what
will be booming out of the speakers there in Philadelphia
as the Dolphins and Eagles get together. So to kick
off here, Mike mcdanie, this was it was amusing His
answer was obviously predictable, Captain. Obviously, of course Mike McDaniel's
(05:09):
gonna stand by his quarterback. It would have been a
better sound by if McDaniels said, oh, yeah, two is
a The guy's a stiff. He's better at jiu jitsu
than he is at football. I could go down right
now to Key West. Right, I can leave Miami, get
on a boat, go down to Key West, and I
could find somebody who's hiding from the FBI and put
(05:31):
them at quarterback and you know, down where Ernest Hemingway
would hang out. I could put them in there and
plug and play. I'm good. Of course he's not gonna
say that. Now. The story here, don't bury the lead,
my man. The story here is not what the dolphin
coach said. The story here is I say this in
air quotes journalism. Okay, because plausibly, that was a reporter
(05:55):
that asked the question, what the hell was that? What
the hell was that? Seriously, you talk about a Mama Luke.
This is an epic fail. Now Larry King is rolling
over in his grave thinking about what just happened here
because the dolph I don't know who this was. The
dolphin media hack. He did not ask a question, there
(06:18):
was no question there. Instead, he went on a rambling filibuster,
a rambling filibuster. The best interviews, if you ever get
a chance to interview somebody as a professional, the best
interviews are done by people that ask very short questions,
very short questions. And I'll tell you why. The reason
(06:42):
why is because the shorter the question, the less time
the person you're interviewing has time to create a bull
crap answer to your question. If you put them on
the spot, they will mumble and stumble and bumble as
they try to come up with an answer. You ask
a question. This question was twenty three seconds and the
(07:02):
question would still be going on if the person asking
the question had not been cut off by the Dolphins
coach twenty three seconds to spit out the question. So
how would I have handled it? Well, here's how if
that was my agenda, asked that question.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Waiting on a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, my perspective is to talking about loa a system quarterback. Yes,
that's a yes no question. Then you, when he answers
yes or no, you say why or why not?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So you jab The first question is an easy one.
It's a yes, no question. But the next question, the
most lethal question, and all questions why or why not,
that's the question you get him at, right, that's the
one you hook him in. And that did not happen
here at all. It was embarrassed. Brevity is the key, right,
Brevity is the key. Read my book Interviewing for Idiots.
(07:59):
That'll be my book. There and man and we did
a football show, me and Looney before we did the
TV show. We did the football show for seven years
here on Fox Sports Radio and every Sunday we interviewed
two or three NFL players after games. And you talk
about impossible. This guy was just terrible the interwer We
(08:21):
knew they sucked. So we started playing around and we
would mess around, asking like, hey, you really bought your
a game, like the dumbest questions you could ask, and
we got we got the top answers. He's got to
dumb it down sometimes you gotta do it all right. Now, furthermore,
we head to Dallas. Why Mike McCarthy, the rotund leader
of Jerry's World. Mike McCarthy was asked in a radio
(08:44):
interview about Jerry Jones and how he dabbles in all
forms of mass media and is always commenting on the
state of the Cowboys. He Jerry does at least two
radio interviews every week. He also gives instant feedback to
the beat writers and the TV guys after Cowboy games.
(09:05):
And I saw the traveling circus there for the Cowboys
in person this week is at the game they played
the Chargers, and it is quite the show. You talk
about a dog and pony show. The Cowboys media contingent,
They man alive. They know what they're doing over there. Anyway.
So McCarthy was asked about that and how did he respond.
He said that every NFL gig is slightly different. Blah
(09:28):
blah blah blah blah blah blah, I said, frankly, that's
the way this organization runs. He said, the radio shows
and all that stuff, that's really just part of the
job description working in Dallas. Close quote. All right, So
how do you assess Mike McCarthy and his handling of
Jerry Jones. So Jerry Jones is a marketing maestro, and
(09:52):
the only answer, the only answer is I'm okay, I'm
okay working for Jerry Jones because Mike McCarthy, do you
think he's doing a really good job. I don't think
he's doing it really. I don't think he's a terrible coach.
I think he's an average coach. I don't think he's
anything spectacular there. And the Cowboys are He's not coaching
guys up. Let's put it that way. The Cowboys are
the same team they've been. They'll win a bunch of
(10:14):
regular season games. First time they play a legitimately good
team in the playoffs, they will be belly up. Uh.
And that's it and it's gonna go down. And Jerry knows.
The sports radio interviews and the interviews after the games
are great because you got to keep the chatter going.
You got to keep the chatter going. You got to
speak to your your voters, your constituents. And Mike McCarthy
(10:39):
gets paid a lot of money and he knows it.
He's anything out of sorts here, but it's it's not
the end of the world. And that's just the way
it is. Now. Parting shot, we head to La La Land.
Why are we going to La La Land? Because Sean
McVay said something that went viral. The RAM coach his
wife expecting a baby boy this month. Wonderful, great, Mazeltov. Anyway,
(11:05):
the kids still in the oven. Kid hasn't popped out
of the oven yet, and there's a chance that McVeigh
has to miss a game. And it had been widely
reported that McVeigh was going to miss a game. If
the kid arrives over the weekend, and the kid is
born on Sunday, that goes into labor, the mom goes
in labor. Obviously, the kid pops out of the oven
piping hot and McVeigh would be there. But speaking with
(11:27):
reporters this week, McVeigh, the Rams head coach, was confident
that he is not going to miss one of the
upcoming games here because of the birth of his son.
He said, quote, my wife's doing great. I think there
was a lot made about me missing a game. McVeigh barked,
I'm not gonna miss a game. My son knows better
(11:49):
than to come during a game. Close quote from Sean McVay.
So that's a nice quip, right, that's a nice quip.
But what is the Sean McVeigh message here? Well, the
message is pretty straightforward on this one. That is a
message Sean McVay is telling the Rams players. I'm gonna
be here you guys might not be here, you might
not show up, but I'm gonna be here, right. And
(12:12):
McVeigh is an artisan. He's working as an artisan. I'm
not talking about van go or Rembrand or Picasso. He
is a renaissance man, is what he is here. Mc
McVeigh is practicing the art of manifestation, is what he's doing.
(12:32):
He's an artistan practicing manifestation. He's trying to speak it
into reality using in many ways clock management. Now, the
perfect scenario is the kid stays in the oven long
enough and then you can set a date to have
the kid pop out, right, you can induce labor by
a certain see. That would be the best case scenario.
(12:53):
But ultimately, you know this is a part. If he
wants to miss a game, it's not the end of
the world. There'll be another game the following week. But
we'll see what happens with that. Anyway, that is the
story Rams and Steelers this weekend, and that that is
a blood match between me and Eddie. Unfortunately Eddie's gonna lose,
but that's fine, He'll deal with it. Ben, Yes, Iowa Sam,
(13:17):
interrupting your monologue. Yeah, that's very rude. I always same.
The rules are never interrupt the monologue. Most important part
is for the monologue.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, it's towards the end of the monologue, so hopefully
I didn't cut right into the meat of it.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Just killed. I mean, I was just getting to the vendo,
the big finish.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Well, I was gonna say, I propose that we call
Sean mcvay's unborn baby the mcvaby. How about that, called
the mcvaby. Anyone, anyone second? D at the mcvaby. Eddie's
got a thumbs up, Thank you, the mcveig.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Are we doing puns of fun? Are we bringing that back?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Don't encourage him, Adie fun with words? Wordplay your word
word guy vig mcvaby. I think it has a rule
ring to it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
That's all. You interrupted the show for that. The mcfaby.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (14:10):

I believe that head wrights and says, if mcbaby comes
out at halftime, does coach McVeigh make a run for it.
He'll make a run for the border, is what he'll
be doing, the border of the stadium. Have a police
escort to get him out of there. I do love
the police escort these teams have when they go to
the games. It's like, really need to give them a
police escort. I saw the when I said the Cowboys,
(17:19):
I was walking into the Cowboys showed up. There were
four buses. There were like eight motorcycle cops that were
giving them the escort.

go to the phones and we'll say hello. Oh, this
is like a mini series as we talked to this
guy yesterday, very polarizing caller, the newest member of the
Houston Texans fan club. We say hello to Rob in Maine,
(17:57):
Hello Rob, Welcome morning guys.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
I was outside feeding my chickens and I got the
radio with me, and I hear some blasts of me.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
So I want to call and defend myself a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now you upset a lot of people, rob that they
they're angry with you. You the Patriots have what are
the twenty six and thirties since Brady left? And now
you're done?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I want to explain myself.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
So Brady left and I stayed. All right, All these
people around.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Here started getting bucks jerseys, rooting for the damn Buccaneers
with the Brady's buck jerseys, walking around the grocery store
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I stayed for the.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Pet all right, we get Cam Newton.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I stayed all right, fat forward a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Now, are you looking for like a metal here?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I'm just saying, I listened to all these damn games, all.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Right, I got the radio.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I still get my damn hope stuff, all right, all right,
and we get the ball back to twenty three left.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Then it's a holding a drop, deep ball, delay game,
safety game open. Yeah, and it's still not worse than
last year's Raiders game.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You know again, the Texans thing blows me away that
you would.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Take the I'm gonna get to that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Give me.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Everybody in Bill's cochentree has sucked.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
They left you know, Romeo Cornell, Charlie Wie, Eric Mangini,
Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Joe Judge. You know, the early Super.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Bowl was a team that he inherited.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Granted he runs a good defense.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I'm not saying you don't run a good defense.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Coaches a great defensive coach makes a mean peanut butter
and jelly sandwich. Also Belichick, Well, it.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Helps when you know the other teams walk through too,
and you know what plays are coming.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
See now you're crossing the line here. Now you're really
your scoring patriot ex patriot, You're you know, you're next pat.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
It was all Brady man.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I wouldn't have thought this when he first left, but
it was.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But but you know, we you know, usually in the
sporting world, you pick a team and you make that
decision when you're a kid, and you stick with it,
and you know, sometimes the team's good, sometimes the team's bad.
When they're bad, you rip them. When they're good, you celebrate,
and that's life.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
When Bill's gone, I'll come back.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, So this is temporary. So you're upset with it,
and Demico Ryans get you all hot and bothered.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well, no, but along the way.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
I got a root for somebody.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And you know, the Texans, the Texans.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
And they got no rivals that I know about.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
They never Yeah, Britt, they have no fans, that's true.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Yeah, sure they look exciting. They got no fans, you know,
and like, all.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Right, well there you Texas. But well, okay, then I'll
root for them. I got you. All right, we'll get back.
How many chickens do you have? Ro What do you
got going on there with the chickens?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I got twelve chickens.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Twelve chickens.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Yeah, one's the roofs there, so eleven laying hands in
one roos.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You name your chickens, No you don't. Because we had Abigail,
the chicken from Michigan was picking with Poppy picking the chicken.
But Poppy ruined the bit.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Chicken.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
You know what we could do is hold on, what
do we did? Chicken versus chicken? And we had a
we had a Michigan chicken versus a main chicken. And
who could pick more winners like that? Let's go yeah,
all right, we'll think about it. All right, get back
to your farming, all right, go away? All right, there's
(21:29):
that rob. Let's go to the Dickster, Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dick, hell.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Crew.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
If I was any better, I'd be a Watson, but
not Deshaun Watson because he can't get back out in
the field.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No, but we can use that seconds quarterback Sunday.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
He'll be fine. Well. Yeah, as long as your defense
shuts out the Colts, you'll be in good shape there.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, are the wise. I've been going to
this fifth store, the Miami Valley thrift Store.
Speaker 1 (22:02):

the hit. Yeah, Dick and Dayton has hit the thrift
store jackpot. Congratulations, Ben.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Can you imagine Dick and Dayton and helmet Man meeting up.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They're made. I mean, they are kindred souls, even though
they live in different parts of the country. You would
love helmet Man. You don't know who that you don't
know who that is, Dick, but helmet Man is kind
of like you. He's a very similar you know, you
have the way he approaches things, and uh, yeah, you
guys would get along great.

I was just thinking too. In about another week, I
uh walked to one of my friends at Cleveland. Yeah,
I got a fetl and the Cavaliers are going to
win that division this year. I say they win maybe
fifty games. But they got Mitchell and I can't think

We get to we get them down here on Fox Sports.
Sure you know whoever miss did to play by play?
He was lived about twenty two miles from where my
family was from the legend Jerry, Remember Joe Tate, I've.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, I've heard his name, Joe Tate. I feel
like I've I feel like we've been down this road before.
We've gone down memory lane with Joe Tate, to the
to the line, to the lane.

He was one of my favorites. He worked at I
forget what he's He does the Browns pregame show with
Titus Jeff Phelps.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh all right, of course.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You know, I can remember I would talking to them
when the Browns won. I remember, and I was in college.
I think it was when Bernie coz art the San
Francisco played them on a Monday night and Bernie Cozar
beat them. I think it was thirteen to three, and
I remember listening to my favorite.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
You know he was.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
He was a legend. He died too soon. Nev Chandler, Yeah,
Dev Chandler.

A course of booflat course. All right, well, Dick, thank you, buddy,
and good luck at the thrift stores. Thank you. All right?
All right, there you go. Attention advertisers, Dick and Dayton's
out there. So if you want to advertise a thrift store,
Dick would love to go to your thrift.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
What would a Dig and Dayton call be without a
Nev Chandler and Joe Tate reference.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
With that call, though, was a reproduction of a previous call.
I swear we had that same exact conversation that was
a rerun three or four years ago about Joe Tate.
And now we added on some other stuff with the
Browns broadcasters, but that was a rebroadcast that was it
was almost an exact light likeness, right man? That is
(25:44):
that is wild? All right? Anyway, man's alleged man's allegend,
Dick and Dayton.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
While we talk about mental health, I hope to describe.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
It, give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer.
Speaker 8 (26:22):
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get
your podcasts.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
We're gonna get to this earlier. We didn't get to it,
but I will do it now and then we'll get
right back to Eddie with Puck the World. So there's
a tabloid report apparently the Chargers quarterback, if you believe
the tabloids, Justin Herbert is dating Taylor Bescatti of the
NFL Network.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Now that's been out there for a while.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, but here's the thing. Does that mean he's going
to play for the Ravens? Like the Ravens will trade
Lamar Jackson to the Chargers because her uncle owns the Ravens.
So he's when the Chargers in race, even's play like
He's like, that's got to be a tough situation. And
she's older than him too, right, she's seven years older
(27:07):
than him something like that. That's the second time this
has popped up recently. Jalen Brown of the Celtics is
dating woman who's older than him too.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I done wrong with it. But it's usually the cliche
of professional athletes is how young can you go?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You know?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Ask that guy for the rais there I mean, he
broke the mold on that one.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Yeah, I had that work out for him.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Well has he been. I don't knows anything going on
with that wander Frank.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I know he ain't playing baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
He's still getting paid.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
I would doubt it.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
He's on the exemp list. Anyway, enough of that, let's
get back Marcus. Jordan likes him older. Oh yeah, definitely,
like some closer.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Dad's really excited about that too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's proof no matter how much money
you have, and no matter how successful you are in life,
your kids can still embarrass you. Anyway, let's get you
caught up a hockey and right over there there Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Garcia, Well, apologies, we did not have Puck the World
last week because that darn COVID when the season opened up.
So we're now eight days into the NHL season. Lit'll
taste of what we've seen so far. The number one
overall pick in the draft, supposed to be the next
big thing, Connor Bodard of the Chicago Blackhawks. So far,
so good.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Four games, has got a goals. You don't sound impressed
to me.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
He's looked pretty good. I mean, look, there was a
ton of hype surrounding this this guy, he's gonna score,
you know, seventy goals this year in all this nonsense.
But he looks looks he's pretty good. He's probably for
a terrible team, but he's worth. He's worth to look
for you if you're want to see the next big
thing in hockey. Connor Badard of.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The Chicago Black how many Kings games are you good to?
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I got COVID. I didn't go to any of yea
hopefully on Uh yeah, I know. I don't want to
affect everybody in the press blocks. They really like that.
Uh supposedly I'll be going on Saturday the Boston Bruins.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I'm boycotting because they got rid of a kettle corn
right and then.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Done well last time. We'll see it's a new season.
I will report backs. They have pretzels up there now,
so you love the pretzels, you know, maybe I will
go Uh huh, that's that's bet. Boycott was a lot
of football. Long lasting Vegas Golden Knights who defending Stanley
Cup champs know Stanley Cup hangover so far hot out
(29:19):
of the gates, four and oh. To start the season,
they and the Cover Avalanche the only remaining undefeated teams.
The color was at three and oh. There are two
winless teams so far on the season, the Santase Sharks
and last year's Darlings, the Seattle Kracking off to an
three and one start so far. Toronto Maple Leaves star
Austin Matthews back to back hat tricks to open up
the season. Fifth player in NHL history to score back
(29:41):
to back three goal games in the first two games
this season. Alexander Roveitchka did it in twenty seventeen and
twenty eighteen, and then before that you had to go
back to nineteen seventeen, nineteen eighteen Cide Denny he, Joe
Malone and Reg Noble. So then a while for that
interesting there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I used to work for no Broadcast in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Well, that is really really interesting. Thank you for inserting that.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
And John Lynch, the GM of the forty nine ers,
father was the big boss at that radio.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Staar, I've heard that. Yeah. Winnipeg Jets signed forward Mark
Scheiffley and goalie Connor Halibut to identical seven year extensions.
Both will make eight point five million per season. Buffalo
Sabers side defenseman Rasmus Dollieen and Owen Power to extensions.
Dollie gets eight years eleven million per year. When that
kicks in next year, he'll be tied for the highest
paid defenseman in the NHL as far as average annual value.
(30:31):
Power gets a seven year deal with eight point three
five million power Owen Power.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It's a good name, yeah, not a good power. There
must be a porn stars that could be his porn name. Well, wow,
interesting that that's what I was saying.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
The carral Avalanche side defenseman Devin Tames seven years seven
point two million per year. New Jersey Devil's signed head
coach Lindy rough Do a multi year extension. He ranks
first among active coaches in victories eight hundred and thirty
five and only only six NHL coaches with at least
eight hundred career victories.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Whence Toward's coming back, Eddie, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (31:05):
He hasn't gone anywhere? He's coaching the.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Philadelphia Why the Winnings? What I mean? While I need,
I need to be coaching a good team.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
That's not gonna happen anytimes. So dare you LA good
for them? LA Kings give their head coach Tom McCall
in a one year extension Montreal Canadians for with Kirby
doc already done for the.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Year, a c L and m c L only one
Kirby Pucket's the only.
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Kirby renovations underway at the Toyota Center in Houston, the
NBA's rockets. It will include the installation of ice making equipment.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
They are gonna have coyotes there that will.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
Ensure that the building can be NHL ready if they
get a relocated or expansion NHL.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
For now, will if Houston gets a hockey team, will
they use like metal sticks the cheat?
Speaker 6 (31:49):
Uh, we'll see, We'll have to find out. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Uh the AA they can put like a tracking device.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
In the puck or something, well they already have that
actually then.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But they can use like a remote control a joystick
and direct the puck into the net.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
That sounds realistic, yeah you. NHL decided last season to
stop teams from wearing specialty jerseys during warm remember the
Pride d Some players didn't want to wear them for
a religious vision whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I mentioned this in a monologue. This is such a
great story.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
So apparently that now is including Pride tape. That is
the rainbow colored tape.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That some players would put on their sticks, banning rainbow
stripe gum, that fruit striped gum they're banning.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
I didn't have free tattoo in it or something that.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
You don't need to add on. I'm sorry you're adding.
Speaker 6 (32:38):
We got this story from our friend Big Lou. He's
on the Umber two number, former NFL linebacker. I think
he's a former En Maybe he's still playing. Miles Jack,
remember him, Miles Jack from.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Jackson.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Him and his mom are now majority owners of the
Allen Americans, the minor league hockey team in the e HL.
They had the first black.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Majority oh Man.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Hockey owner now uh And finally, the Toronto Maple Leaves
announced they will not be using the song Pursuit of
Happiness by Kid Cuddy as their goal song. Let's geta's
gonna listen to what this song sounds like? Here? Oh wow,
(33:29):
So they were playing that when they scored a goal,
like the celebration goal song. Yeah, Now that song really
sucks so awful. I don't know why Boomer, I don't
know why anybody want to play that, but anyway, apparently
there were complaints about that song because their references to
driving drunk uh in that song, and so they complained
(33:51):
about it, and so they decided I will not have.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
That now now no one will. No one's gonna drive
drunk because of that.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
My kid, Cuddy, that's just terrible drunk driving?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Is how how ended? Because the Montreal Canadians of Stoff
all right, what an awful song that is?
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Had you puck the world replot?

Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four, ready
to go, and we start out in Miami, Miami, Miami,
big game this weekend as the Dolphins take on the
Eagles and the lead up to that game. What is
your takeaway from Mike McDaniel's passionate defense of Tua Tunguebailawa. Also,
(00:21):
how do you assess Mike McCarthy's handling of Jerry Jones
and Jerry course always in front of a microphone, and
McCarthy was asked about what it's like to deal with
Jerry giving hot takes on everything, and the Rams coach,
waiting for the birth of his son, said he's not
gonna miss the Rams game this weekend with the Steelers.
What is Sean mcvay's message. We'll get to that and
(00:44):
more right now here. It is our number four. Have
a wonderful Thursday. Here we go swimming with the Finns. Well,
God come in the beginning of another hour of the

this hour, coming from South Beach. The preamble Big game
this weekend. I don't know if you're paying attention. In
the week seven of the NFL kicks off with a game.
(02:06):
I'm sure Al Michaels right now is planning his after
after dinner meal there after game meal, I should say,
the dinner after the game there in the New Orleans
as they go to the Bayou. Jacksonville kicks things off
with the New Orleans Saints. But in the big matchup
this weekend Sunday Night football, the Miami football team versus
(02:29):
the Philadelphia football team. In the preamble for that particular matchup,
there it's a little bit of a drama situation here.
I wouldn't call it a def Con one, more like
a def Con three or four. But he caught our
attention and we've got some good audio, so I thought,
why don't we go for that? And if you didn't
(02:51):
hear what happened here Mike McDaniel, who's right up there
with Mike Tomlin in terms of dopey soundbites that we like,
like the dumb soundbites. We live for the dumb soundbites.
So he's the coach of the Dolphins. He looks like
he should be one of the ball boys for the Dolphins,
but he's the head coach of the Dolphins. He's a
good SoundBite. And he was asked if Tua Tongue of
(03:13):
Iloa was a system quarterback and that you just plug
and play any quarterback in the system of Mike McDaniel
and you would be successful because it's the playmakers, it's
the scheme. It's not anything that Tua Tongue of Iloa
is doing. So we're gonna play the question because that's
(03:34):
part of the story. And as Warner Wolf would say,
let's go to the audio tape, take a list.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
There are some folks who believe that many quarterbacks in
this scheme which you as the coach with Tyrek and Jalen,
maybe even many many quarterbacks would excel, would flourish near
the top of the passer raider leading MVP candidate. What
if any push back is their relatives to.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Win a hold on.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Podium over? My answer to that would be who the
f cares? Because it's it is a team. We're working together,
and I know one thing of coach stuff a long time.
I haven't seen people do what our guys do.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There you go, all right, so about to push the
podium over, and I haven't seen guys do what our
guys do. Let us discuss the question here. What is
your takeaway from what we just heard Mike McDaniel's defense
of to a tongue of b loo. So I've got
Larry King court gesture and artisan and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
(04:45):
make a monsoon of fly Eagles Fly, which is what
will be booming out of the speakers there in Philadelphia
as the Dolphins and Eagles get together. So to kick
off here, Mike mcdanie, this was it was amusing His
answer was obviously predictable, Captain. Obviously, of course Mike McDaniel's
(05:09):
gonna stand by his quarterback. It would have been a
better sound by if McDaniels said, oh, yeah, two is
a The guy's a stiff. He's better at jiu jitsu
than he is at football. I could go down right
now to Key West. Right, I can leave Miami, get
on a boat, go down to Key West, and I
could find somebody who's hiding from the FBI and put
(05:31):
them at quarterback and you know, down where Ernest Hemingway
would hang out. I could put them in there and
plug and play. I'm good. Of course he's not gonna
say that. Now. The story here, don't bury the lead,
my man. The story here is not what the dolphin
coach said. The story here is I say this in
air quotes journalism. Okay, because plausibly, that was a reporter
(05:55):
that asked the question, what the hell was that? What
the hell was that? Seriously, you talk about a Mama Luke.
This is an epic fail. Now Larry King is rolling
over in his grave thinking about what just happened here
because the dolph I don't know who this was. The
dolphin media hack. He did not ask a question, there
(06:18):
was no question there. Instead, he went on a rambling filibuster,
a rambling filibuster. The best interviews, if you ever get
a chance to interview somebody as a professional, the best
interviews are done by people that ask very short questions,
very short questions. And I'll tell you why. The reason
(06:42):
why is because the shorter the question, the less time
the person you're interviewing has time to create a bull
crap answer to your question. If you put them on
the spot, they will mumble and stumble and bumble as
they try to come up with an answer. You ask
a question. This question was twenty three seconds and the
(07:02):
question would still be going on if the person asking
the question had not been cut off by the Dolphins
coach twenty three seconds to spit out the question. So
how would I have handled it? Well, here's how if
that was my agenda, asked that question.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Waiting on a whole lot.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, my perspective is to talking about loa a system quarterback. Yes,
that's a yes no question. Then you, when he answers
yes or no, you say why or why not?
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
So you jab The first question is an easy one.
It's a yes, no question. But the next question, the
most lethal question, and all questions why or why not,
that's the question you get him at, right, that's the
one you hook him in. And that did not happen
here at all. It was embarrassed. Brevity is the key, right,
Brevity is the key. Read my book Interviewing for Idiots.
(07:59):
That'll be my book. There and man and we did
a football show, me and Looney before we did the
TV show. We did the football show for seven years
here on Fox Sports Radio and every Sunday we interviewed
two or three NFL players after games. And you talk
about impossible. This guy was just terrible the interwer We
(08:21):
knew they sucked. So we started playing around and we
would mess around, asking like, hey, you really bought your
a game, like the dumbest questions you could ask, and
we got we got the top answers. He's got to
dumb it down sometimes you gotta do it all right. Now, furthermore,
we head to Dallas. Why Mike McCarthy, the rotund leader
of Jerry's World. Mike McCarthy was asked in a radio
(08:44):
interview about Jerry Jones and how he dabbles in all
forms of mass media and is always commenting on the
state of the Cowboys. He Jerry does at least two
radio interviews every week. He also gives instant feedback to
the beat writers and the TV guys after Cowboy games.
(09:05):
And I saw the traveling circus there for the Cowboys
in person this week is at the game they played
the Chargers, and it is quite the show. You talk
about a dog and pony show. The Cowboys media contingent,
They man alive. They know what they're doing over there. Anyway.
So McCarthy was asked about that and how did he respond.
He said that every NFL gig is slightly different. Blah
(09:28):
blah blah blah blah blah blah, I said, frankly, that's
the way this organization runs. He said, the radio shows
and all that stuff, that's really just part of the
job description working in Dallas. Close quote. All right, So
how do you assess Mike McCarthy and his handling of
Jerry Jones. So Jerry Jones is a marketing maestro, and
(09:52):
the only answer, the only answer is I'm okay, I'm
okay working for Jerry Jones because Mike McCarthy, do you
think he's doing a really good job. I don't think
he's doing it really. I don't think he's a terrible coach.
I think he's an average coach. I don't think he's
anything spectacular there. And the Cowboys are He's not coaching
guys up. Let's put it that way. The Cowboys are
the same team they've been. They'll win a bunch of
(10:14):
regular season games. First time they play a legitimately good
team in the playoffs, they will be belly up. Uh.
And that's it and it's gonna go down. And Jerry knows.
The sports radio interviews and the interviews after the games
are great because you got to keep the chatter going.
You got to keep the chatter going. You got to
speak to your your voters, your constituents. And Mike McCarthy
(10:39):
gets paid a lot of money and he knows it.
He's anything out of sorts here, but it's it's not
the end of the world. And that's just the way
it is. Now. Parting shot, we head to La La Land.
Why are we going to La La Land? Because Sean
McVay said something that went viral. The RAM coach his
wife expecting a baby boy this month. Wonderful, great, Mazeltov. Anyway,
(11:05):
the kids still in the oven. Kid hasn't popped out
of the oven yet, and there's a chance that McVeigh
has to miss a game. And it had been widely
reported that McVeigh was going to miss a game. If
the kid arrives over the weekend, and the kid is
born on Sunday, that goes into labor, the mom goes
in labor. Obviously, the kid pops out of the oven
piping hot and McVeigh would be there. But speaking with
(11:27):
reporters this week, McVeigh, the Rams head coach, was confident
that he is not going to miss one of the
upcoming games here because of the birth of his son.
He said, quote, my wife's doing great. I think there
was a lot made about me missing a game. McVeigh barked,
I'm not gonna miss a game. My son knows better
(11:49):
than to come during a game. Close quote from Sean McVay.
So that's a nice quip, right, that's a nice quip.
But what is the Sean McVeigh message here? Well, the
message is pretty straightforward on this one. That is a
message Sean McVay is telling the Rams players. I'm gonna
be here you guys might not be here, you might
not show up, but I'm gonna be here, right. And
(12:12):
McVeigh is an artisan. He's working as an artisan. I'm
not talking about van go or Rembrand or Picasso. He
is a renaissance man, is what he is here. Mc
McVeigh is practicing the art of manifestation, is what he's doing.
(12:32):
He's an artistan practicing manifestation. He's trying to speak it
into reality using in many ways clock management. Now, the
perfect scenario is the kid stays in the oven long
enough and then you can set a date to have
the kid pop out, right, you can induce labor by
a certain see. That would be the best case scenario.
(12:53):
But ultimately, you know this is a part. If he
wants to miss a game, it's not the end of
the world. There'll be another game the following week. But
we'll see what happens with that. Anyway, that is the
story Rams and Steelers this weekend, and that that is
a blood match between me and Eddie. Unfortunately Eddie's gonna lose,
but that's fine, He'll deal with it. Ben, Yes, Iowa Sam,
(13:17):
interrupting your monologue. Yeah, that's very rude. I always same.
The rules are never interrupt the monologue. Most important part
is for the monologue.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, it's towards the end of the monologue, so hopefully
I didn't cut right into the meat of it.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Just killed. I mean, I was just getting to the vendo,
the big finish.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Well, I was gonna say, I propose that we call
Sean mcvay's unborn baby the mcvaby. How about that, called
the mcvaby. Anyone, anyone second? D at the mcvaby. Eddie's
got a thumbs up, Thank you, the mcveig.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Are we doing puns of fun? Are we bringing that back?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Don't encourage him, Adie fun with words? Wordplay your word
word guy vig mcvaby. I think it has a rule
ring to it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
That's all. You interrupted the show for that. The mcfaby.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Congratulations.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
You gotta see the mcfaby.

arts there the cheaters as they won last night. Matt
the Warrior Raider, a's fan, says, I think mcbaby would
(16:34):
be a fantastic new sandwich for McDonald's mcbaby. What would
be on the mcbaby? What would be on that? You're
very careful, how you I don't yeh want to touch this?
If they could bring back Jeffrey Dahmer, he might have
some suggestions what the baby would be would be? Yeah, yeah,
(16:56):
I believe that head wrights and says, if mcbaby comes
out at halftime, does coach McVeigh make a run for it.
He'll make a run for the border, is what he'll
be doing, the border of the stadium. Have a police
escort to get him out of there. I do love
the police escort these teams have when they go to
the games. It's like, really need to give them a
police escort. I saw the when I said the Cowboys,
(17:19):
I was walking into the Cowboys showed up. There were
four buses. There were like eight motorcycle cops that were
giving them the escort.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
A bigger procession than when the president comes to town.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Maybe vice president. I don't know about President. Big big,
pretty big, A little much the pretty big. Anyway, let's
go to the phones and we'll say hello. Oh, this
is like a mini series as we talked to this
guy yesterday, very polarizing caller, the newest member of the
Houston Texans fan club. We say hello to Rob in Maine,
(17:57):
Hello Rob, Welcome morning guys.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
I was outside feeding my chickens and I got the
radio with me, and I hear some blasts of me.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
So I want to call and defend myself a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Now you upset a lot of people, rob that they
they're angry with you. You the Patriots have what are
the twenty six and thirties since Brady left? And now
you're done?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I want to explain myself.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
So Brady left and I stayed. All right, All these
people around.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Here started getting bucks jerseys, rooting for the damn Buccaneers
with the Brady's buck jerseys, walking around the grocery store
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I stayed for the.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Pet all right, we get Cam Newton.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
I stayed all right, fat forward a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Now, are you looking for like a metal here?
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I'm just saying, I listened to all these damn games, all.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Right, I got the radio.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I still get my damn hope stuff, all right, all right,
and we get the ball back to twenty three left.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Then it's a holding a drop, deep ball, delay game,
safety game open. Yeah, and it's still not worse than
last year's Raiders game.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You know again, the Texans thing blows me away that
you would.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Take the I'm gonna get to that.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm gonna get to that.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Give me.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Everybody in Bill's cochentree has sucked.
Speaker 7 (19:20):
They left you know, Romeo Cornell, Charlie Wie, Eric Mangini,
Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Joe Judge. You know, the early Super.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Bowl was a team that he inherited.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Granted he runs a good defense.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I'm not saying you don't run a good defense.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Coaches a great defensive coach makes a mean peanut butter
and jelly sandwich. Also Belichick, Well, it.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Helps when you know the other teams walk through too,
and you know what plays are coming.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
See now you're crossing the line here. Now you're really
your scoring patriot ex patriot, You're you know, you're next pat.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
It was all Brady man.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I wouldn't have thought this when he first left, but
it was.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
But but you know, we you know, usually in the
sporting world, you pick a team and you make that
decision when you're a kid, and you stick with it,
and you know, sometimes the team's good, sometimes the team's bad.
When they're bad, you rip them. When they're good, you celebrate,
and that's life.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
When Bill's gone, I'll come back.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Okay, So this is temporary. So you're upset with it,
and Demico Ryans get you all hot and bothered.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Well, no, but along the way.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
I got a root for somebody.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And you know, the Texans, the Texans.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
And they got no rivals that I know about.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
They never Yeah, Britt, they have no fans, that's true.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Yeah, sure they look exciting. They got no fans, you know,
and like, all.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Right, well there you Texas. But well, okay, then I'll
root for them. I got you. All right, we'll get back.
How many chickens do you have? Ro What do you
got going on there with the chickens?
Speaker 7 (20:48):
I got twelve chickens.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Twelve chickens.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
Yeah, one's the roofs there, so eleven laying hands in
one roos.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You name your chickens, No you don't. Because we had Abigail,
the chicken from Michigan was picking with Poppy picking the chicken.
But Poppy ruined the bit.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Chicken.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
You know what we could do is hold on, what
do we did? Chicken versus chicken? And we had a
we had a Michigan chicken versus a main chicken. And
who could pick more winners like that? Let's go yeah,
all right, we'll think about it. All right, get back
to your farming, all right, go away? All right, there's
(21:29):
that rob. Let's go to the Dickster, Dick in Dayton. Hello, Dick, hell.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Crew.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
If I was any better, I'd be a Watson, but
not Deshaun Watson because he can't get back out in
the field.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No, but we can use that seconds quarterback Sunday.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
He'll be fine. Well. Yeah, as long as your defense
shuts out the Colts, you'll be in good shape there.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, are the wise. I've been going to
this fifth store, the Miami Valley thrift Store.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
Can you imagine Dick and Dayton and helmet Man meeting up.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They're made. I mean, they are kindred souls, even though
they live in different parts of the country. You would
love helmet Man. You don't know who that you don't
know who that is, Dick, but helmet Man is kind
of like you. He's a very similar you know, you
have the way he approaches things, and uh, yeah, you
guys would get along great.

I was just thinking too. In about another week, I
uh walked to one of my friends at Cleveland. Yeah,
I got a fetl and the Cavaliers are going to
win that division this year. I say they win maybe
fifty games. But they got Mitchell and I can't think

We get to we get them down here on Fox Sports.
Sure you know whoever miss did to play by play?
He was lived about twenty two miles from where my
family was from the legend Jerry, Remember Joe Tate, I've.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You know, I've heard his name, Joe Tate. I feel
like I've I feel like we've been down this road before.
We've gone down memory lane with Joe Tate, to the
to the line, to the lane.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Yeah. And he always said he ran have a good
night everybody.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Nobody else does that a lot of people say have

that one.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. First, you know, you know who's who's.

Doing the Browns game on radio? We had Ceciliano last week. Yeah,
Chris Rose did the week before. Who's filling it? Are

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Oh? I think the guy he was on the Cavaliers TV.
He was one of my favorites. He worked at I
forget what he's He does the Browns pregame show with
Titus Jeff Phelps.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh all right, of course.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
You know, I can remember I would talking to them
when the Browns won. I remember, and I was in college.
I think it was when Bernie coz art the San
Francisco played them on a Monday night and Bernie Cozar
beat them. I think it was thirteen to three, and
I remember listening to my favorite.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
You know he was.
Speaker 4 (24:55):

All right, there you go. Attention advertisers, Dick and Dayton's
out there. So if you want to advertise a thrift store,
Dick would love to go to your thrift.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
What would a Dig and Dayton call be without a
Nev Chandler and Joe Tate reference.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
With that call, though, was a reproduction of a previous call.
I swear we had that same exact conversation that was
a rerun three or four years ago about Joe Tate.
And now we added on some other stuff with the
Browns broadcasters, but that was a rebroadcast that was it
was almost an exact light likeness, right man? That is
(25:44):
that is wild? All right? Anyway, man's alleged man's allegend,
Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 8 (25:58):
And you may know me for the world of football
or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you
don't know is for my entire life, I have lived
in something I refer to as the gray depression anxiety.
So now I'm coming out with a new podcast, Unbreakable,

Speaker 1 (26:28):
We're gonna get to this earlier. We didn't get to it,
but I will do it now and then we'll get
right back to Eddie with Puck the World. So there's
a tabloid report apparently the Chargers quarterback, if you believe
the tabloids, Justin Herbert is dating Taylor Bescatti of the
NFL Network.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Now that's been out there for a while.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, but here's the thing. Does that mean he's going
to play for the Ravens? Like the Ravens will trade
Lamar Jackson to the Chargers because her uncle owns the Ravens.
So he's when the Chargers in race, even's play like
He's like, that's got to be a tough situation. And
she's older than him too, right, she's seven years older
(27:07):
than him something like that. That's the second time this
has popped up recently. Jalen Brown of the Celtics is
dating woman who's older than him too.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
I done wrong with it. But it's usually the cliche
of professional athletes is how young can you go?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You know?
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Ask that guy for the rais there I mean, he
broke the mold on that one.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Yeah, I had that work out for him.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Well has he been. I don't knows anything going on
with that wander Frank.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
I know he ain't playing baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
He's still getting paid.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
I would doubt it.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
He's on the exemp list. Anyway, enough of that, let's
get back Marcus. Jordan likes him older. Oh yeah, definitely,
like some closer.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Dad's really excited about that too.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. That's proof no matter how much money
you have, and no matter how successful you are in life,
your kids can still embarrass you. Anyway, let's get you
caught up a hockey and right over there there Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Garcia, Well, apologies, we did not have Puck the World
last week because that darn COVID when the season opened up.
So we're now eight days into the NHL season. Lit'll
taste of what we've seen so far. The number one
overall pick in the draft, supposed to be the next
big thing, Connor Bodard of the Chicago Blackhawks. So far,
so good.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Four games, has got a goals. You don't sound impressed
to me.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
He's looked pretty good. I mean, look, there was a
ton of hype surrounding this this guy, he's gonna score,
you know, seventy goals this year in all this nonsense.
But he looks looks he's pretty good. He's probably for
a terrible team, but he's worth. He's worth to look
for you if you're want to see the next big
thing in hockey. Connor Badard of.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
The Chicago Black how many Kings games are you good to?
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I got COVID. I didn't go to any of yea
hopefully on Uh yeah, I know. I don't want to
affect everybody in the press blocks. They really like that.
Uh supposedly I'll be going on Saturday the Boston Bruins.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I'm boycotting because they got rid of a kettle corn
right and then.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
Done well last time. We'll see it's a new season.
I will report backs. They have pretzels up there now,
so you love the pretzels, you know, maybe I will
go Uh huh, that's that's bet. Boycott was a lot
of football. Long lasting Vegas Golden Knights who defending Stanley
Cup champs know Stanley Cup hangover so far hot out
(29:19):
of the gates, four and oh. To start the season,
they and the Cover Avalanche the only remaining undefeated teams.
The color was at three and oh. There are two
winless teams so far on the season, the Santase Sharks
and last year's Darlings, the Seattle Kracking off to an
three and one start so far. Toronto Maple Leaves star
Austin Matthews back to back hat tricks to open up
the season. Fifth player in NHL history to score back
(29:41):
to back three goal games in the first two games
this season. Alexander Roveitchka did it in twenty seventeen and
twenty eighteen, and then before that you had to go
back to nineteen seventeen, nineteen eighteen Cide Denny he, Joe
Malone and Reg Noble. So then a while for that
interesting there.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I used to work for no Broadcast in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (30:01):
Well, that is really really interesting. Thank you for inserting that.

Sabers side defenseman Rasmus Dollieen and Owen Power to extensions.
Dollie gets eight years eleven million per year. When that
kicks in next year, he'll be tied for the highest
paid defenseman in the NHL as far as average annual value.
(30:31):
Power gets a seven year deal with eight point three
five million power Owen Power.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It's a good name, yeah, not a good power. There
must be a porn stars that could be his porn name. Well, wow,
interesting that that's what I was saying.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
The carral Avalanche side defenseman Devin Tames seven years seven
point two million per year. New Jersey Devil's signed head
coach Lindy rough Do a multi year extension. He ranks
first among active coaches in victories eight hundred and thirty
five and only only six NHL coaches with at least
eight hundred career victories.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Whence Toward's coming back, Eddie, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (31:05):
He hasn't gone anywhere? He's coaching the.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Philadelphia Why the Winnings? What I mean? While I need,
I need to be coaching a good team.
Speaker 6 (31:13):

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Uh, we'll see, We'll have to find out. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Uh the AA they can put like a tracking device.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
In the puck or something, well they already have that
actually then.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
But they can use like a remote control a joystick
and direct the puck into the net.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
That sounds realistic, yeah you. NHL decided last season to
stop teams from wearing specialty jerseys during warm remember the
Pride d Some players didn't want to wear them for
a religious vision whatever.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I mentioned this in a monologue. This is such a
great story.

So apparently that now is including Pride tape. That is
the rainbow colored tape.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
That some players would put on their sticks, banning rainbow
stripe gum, that fruit striped gum they're banning.

Happiness by Kid Cuddy as their goal song. Let's geta's
gonna listen to what this song sounds like? Here? Oh wow,

So they were playing that when they scored a goal,
like the celebration goal song. Yeah, Now that song really
sucks so awful. I don't know why Boomer, I don't
know why anybody want to play that, but anyway, apparently
there were complaints about that song because their references to
driving drunk uh in that song, and so they complained
(33:51):
about it, and so they decided I will not have.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
That now now no one will. No one's gonna drive
drunk because of that.
