are we feeling here on Monday? How's everybody feeling fired up? Excited?
When getting you back a little bit right out the gate? Yeah?
(01:25):
I got him right out there. Yeah, that's supposed to
throw him up, isn't me? Here? Did the Miami Dolphins
make that game a lot harder than it had to
be last night? I just I mean, I mean, and
now a lot of people are pointing to electing to
go for it on fourth down when they're up six
(01:48):
and you can make it a two score game, and
I get all that, but it just felt like the
way they started, the way they were operating early, and
it just slowly got worse and worse from there. There
were a bunch of drop pix from two in his
first game back, and it just felt like they should
have drops from the offense as well, just to drop picks.
But go ahead. Yeah, No, it just felt like this
(02:10):
that game Miami could have been in total control of
yet for some reason, Kenny Pickett still had an opportunity
to win the game late on the road. Yeah, was
throwing the ball away. They were all throwing the ball away.
You think it was the rank you like, was it
the unexpected precipitation? Precipitation? I don't know. It's unexpected down here.
(02:30):
I mean, it's always a factor in the forecast to
some degree, But I'm not sure what the shocking up to. Again,
I've i've I struggle with the Steelers offense because there's
just there's not gonna be a change. It's not Trabsky,
it's not pick it. You know, you can pick out
different plays where there's a breakdown, whether it's the offensive line,
an issue with the receivers, or it's on the quarterback.
(02:53):
But you look at this offense compared to everything else
out there in the NFL, and it's a stark contrast.
It really is like the offenses that are that are
humming right now, they also have good scheme, good design.
You know, quarterbacks don't have to work so hard to
get a completion. It feels like that watching the Steelers.
(03:13):
It didn't feel like that watching the beginning of that game.
With the Dolphins. Like watching two us spit the ball
around being back in there behind center. That team just
has a different feel to them. I mean they feel
like that three and O team that we saw, you know,
but to begin the season before two got hurt um
and so looked they made it a lot harder in
the end that they needed to make it. But the
bottom line is they kind of dominated the game in
(03:36):
some ways at least early on, or made you feel
like if they really needed to, they could go down
and get points at will. I text message you guys like, oh,
it's great to see two back. It's so exciting when
tools in the game. Look at the way their offense
is opened up right now against Maya. Well my wounded,
my wounded Steelers. But it was okay. I was happy
(03:58):
about doing Then it was like wait, hold on, wait, wait,
where's it going? Where where's it going? Do you have
some good news for you? Okay, tell me, tell me.
Here was Dolphin's head coach Mike McDaniel talking you guys
like myoice, it was us. That's about a scoop of
an impression as we have on the that's right up
(04:19):
there next to Jonas Harry carry h No. I actually
think Lavars is better because it is right on point.
So here was Mike McDaniel after the game. It's not
an easy thing to do, you know, because we were
on a Thursday night game UM in Cincinnati. When he
last played those games, you don't have full speed practices.
So his last full speed practice was it was before
(04:41):
the Buffalo game. If he wasn't so prepared and put
himself UM in the position of playing quarterback when he
was out, he wouldn't have been able to have any
sort of success like that. So there, I didn't hear
anything he said because I was too busy sitting there
thinking to myself. He sounded like he sounds like a
(05:03):
student council president in middle school in high school, Like
he sounds like he's explaining the agenda for a student council.
Aren't today this this year? We want to make sure
that there's more than just milks at lunch. We don't
(05:24):
want to have chocolate milk. I don't know why everybody
gives us chocolate milk and carrots. I know it's supposed
to be calcium for your bones, but I just I
just feel like, why can't we have like SODA's. Oh sorry,
(05:50):
I didn't even hear what he said. Yeah, I mean, look,
he's an interesting guy. And when they asked, when they
were interviewing him to start the second half, he looks
so awkward. It just seemed like he was a little
bit uncomfortable, Like, yeah, I don't really know what to say. Really,
it's like I shouldn't even be here. I mean, I
(06:12):
like him. I think he's a breath of fresh air. Yeah,
I mean, and they won last night, but yeah, I
just I came away from that game thinking that it
was a lot more difficult than it needed to be.
And then when it comes to Kenny Pickett, I mean, look,
the numbers aren't great, it doesn't look all that hot.
But under no circumstances are we going to see any
(06:34):
sort of change you guys think with the coaching staff,
this is just gonna be what it's gonna be, and
it's gonna be a bad season in Pittsburgh. Can I
go back to the other side of the ball, really,
I mean to the other side of the field really quickly.
What were you guys thinking every time to a random
ball or took a hit, I mean, were you feeling
good for him? Did you take a deep breath? I
(06:56):
took a deep breath every time I didn't Good for him,
I don't know, I have no read I don't even
know why I'm watching. And I'm like, and then the
one guy, did you see the one defender pat him
on the back like he could have demolished him, and
instead of like hitting him, he like stopped, pulled up
(07:16):
and like patted him on his back, like okay, get
back to the huddle. And it was a defender that
did it. I don't I don't know. He's such a
likable guy. I just I just I'm just looking at this,
like every time he ran, like the one time he
put his shoulder down and he put his head down,
I was like, I don't know, that's a guy who's
a lot less worried about his own concussions and everybody else,
(07:38):
and and good for him, and I agree, But I
just wonder how many people around the world or was
watching the game. We're like, man, he's running, like, oh
don't like Oh like I just didn't want to see
it happened. Collinsworth even mentioned it. I mean, the fact
that I had the game on mute, I didn't been
(08:00):
here I'd say both both Chris Collinsworth and Mike Trico
kind of gave you that sense to I didn't feel
that way watching it because I was more curious, you know,
watching some of their scheme and what was going on.
But I just I I appreciate seeing him back in there.
To me, he's fun to watch within that offense. I
don't know that this year would look like it has
(08:21):
with him playing quarterback and the Dolphins. I think if
he stays healthy and this continues, you know, they're gonna
have to pay him, like they're gonna have to pick
up his option. They're gonna have to make a decision
on him long term because I think Mike McDaniels and
two are a tremendous fit with one another. I mean,
it's it is fun. It's not just to it, by
the way, either. It's just fun to watch them run
(08:42):
the football all the speed they have. I feel like
every single guy on their team, like you know, back
in the day, I remember when I was a young
kid used to go to the high state football camp
and like one of the prerequisites for being a quarterback
at Ohio State was like being six to like I
swear to God, that this list of things you had
to be packed up to be an act. It talked
about armstrongth talked about all like like football intelligence, and
(09:03):
then one of the one of the things was six
to at least six too. I was like, man, how
many dudes in here about ready to look at that
and be like, well, I'm out. I mean, it's like
not even a pre pre requisite. I feel like the
Miami Dolphins they look at their wide receivers and running backs.
It's like, well, if you can't run a four four
forty alright or a sub four four, you're out. Like
(09:26):
like all they do is they have these dudes come in.
They're like, all right, time them get that clock out there.
Because everyone looks blazing fast on this team. It's and
it's just it's fun to watch. Like I say, what
if you want about two one and like Daniels and
all that, but everyone's always flying around. I'm like, man,
this looks really fast on TV compared to everyone. They
were destroying the center of the field. They were killing
(09:48):
the same earlier and it was like, man, I mean
why not. And there was a couple like the ball
was right there, like I thought, you know, you could say,
it was a you know, good played by the defense,
But I thought Tyreek Hill had a couple of plays too.
He could have made her on that game down the middle.
But they started looking like ducks, like pickets. Balls started
looking ducky at the end of the game, like they
were like the rain, the rain, not so much the wind.
(10:12):
The wind, for sure down in South Florida place more
of a factor than people realized. Like that was the
one thing. Well, even just playing like preseason games there,
you're like, man, if it's if it's a little bit
of wind, it's always more than what you think. Like
buddies who come down in golf and they're like, what
sort of hood? I'm like, more than what you think,
because like you, you you get that ball up there
(10:34):
a little bit, it feels like gale force winds up there.
Jonas snows he looked down in South Carolina. He's been
through her. Yeah, yeah, listen, tropical storm. Try to driving
a tropical storm to go get something to eat and realize,
oh my car almost blew over. I'm gonna go ahead
and turn back around and get back. I swear to God,
like almost blew over, And I just turned back around
and drove back because I just underestimated it. Um Oh
(10:56):
think I think it was sonic because they had they
had a good dollar menu and I was broke drinks. Listen, Well,
I mean that's I mean, I'm supposed to be the
relatable guy here on this show, like yeah, you know,
I'm just trying the common man, you know, Yeah, yeah,
hashtag common man. I mean what I did? I did? Forget?
We did? We did have the story. LaVar has been
(11:17):
through some because you lived on the East Coast, you're
in d C. You've been through a hurricane. Yeah, have
to create a story. They were gone, Yeah, where did
they go? To? Coy Heaven? Heaven? And it smelled pretty
bad in there. Oh. I was like I was sitting
(11:41):
there talking to him like no, go oh, believe me.
They were they were my happy place. You know when
they're happy. They'd be moving around, you know, they were
all going belly up, man. And I mean I had
them since they were babies, Like I got them as
babies and they were like as long as like my arm.
They were big and they were going, they were going bully.
(12:02):
I can't believe you guys would take me to this
sad place. It wasn't enough that my Steelers lost, Like, yeah,
I want to take me to the sad place. I
feel like this is the same place that Jonas Kirst
with bass. Yeah, but just imagine like I had named
a lot of them, did get what were their names?
I had Larry Mow and Curly, I had uh, who else? Did?
(12:24):
I had? Uh? Captain Rogers um and they all had
like their unique little look you know there I could
tell who they were really. Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't forget, Like,
I don't know, I feel like I won't forget them.
It's been a long while, but you know, I had
him named that. At one point there was like they
started reproducing, like it was like it was a real
(12:47):
thing going on up in there. And then it got
damned hurricane. I'll tell you what, man, I don't even
remember the name of it. Which one was it Katrina? No?
That was it wasn't Katrina. What year you talk? I
don't remember it? Sold one fan U now right? Never never,
(13:07):
let's never knew Brady. I didn't see a Brady Brady.
What Kurt Russell movie do you think is on TV
one in the studio right now? It's not overboarded? Yes,
it is. Yeah, the underrated movies of all time, very underrated.
Yet I also don't know that Goldie Hand reveals anything
(13:28):
in that movie. She did, yeah, yes, she did. Did
She wasn't revealing, but she does have a mark key
part of the movie, or or a bite mark. Yeah, well,
let's find out. I wouldn't know. I'm sure it's very
(13:48):
old by now, whatever it was. By the way, Kurt
Russell prior a Thousand Oaks, California, yea thou Yeah, I
went to my elementary school to or actually I went
to Yeah, what's your favorite movie with Kurt Russell? Um? Oh,
used cars? Not even Backdraft? That? Yeah, man, he's got
(14:08):
so many good big, big Trouble, A Little China, got
so many good little trouble and big. Did you just
miss the chance to reference Backdraft? Shownas used cars? It's
gotta be used cars. I was raised on used cars.
It wasn't probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch it,
but my brother showed me used cars when I was
a kid, and it changed my life. One of the
funniest movies of all time. At just some of the
(14:32):
language and some of the dialogue in the movie. I
should not have been seeing as a child my older
cousins showed me Colors, and I was that Russell was
in color. No, no, it was pac Man. I was pinned, dude,
by the way. I was trying to explain our conversations
(14:54):
about twenty three and me on this show, like some
of are different inside jokes. I think liner to who,
But he just he did not get any of it. Well, sorry, man,
what's what? Specifically? What what sort of comment about twenty
three of me? Um? Just Romberto and LaVar's pant about
their assaults back. But he was asking about the sign
(15:24):
and I was like, well, there's this whole running joke
about this movie called Colors. Have you seen that? No?
I have not. I'm like, all right, well, it's gonna
make it a little more difficult to understand why this
is so funny. And I kept scanning the crowd. Didn't
see any of this week. So unfortunately, there we we
we missed our streak of Midwest cities. But I did
have someone. I did have someone come up Friday night. Um,
(15:47):
God blessed the guy. I was in Virginia Beach, but
he was in town. I forget what he's visiting for.
He was complaining about the fact that I don't know
if if he couldn't listen to us anymore what was
going on. But he was like, hey, big and listen
to the show. Like he interrupted our dinner just to
have this conversation. And so I was like, all right, great,
you know. But that's that's always the interesting one, is
(16:08):
like not thinking that that's what you're gonna get in
my hometown someone who's a listener but not from the
hometown and not anything to do with the TV stuff,
but but our radio stuff. Yeah, I get I'll get
it all the time. He was, Yeah, man, I get

(17:56):
I don't who steaks chicken whatever, I just want the
bone in it. Yeah, I'll eat I mean, I'll eat
bone in. But you know, if I had my choice,
I would rather a bone loss. Well that's because um,
Jonas doesn't use his hands to eat wings. That's exactly
what it is. Wow, Yeah, you're not You're not from
(18:18):
the East. Exactly what it is. You know, I've been
misrepresented a lot on this show. I will not stand
for that. I will not stand for that. That is
completely unfair and reckless. That was actually aggressive. That would
take that, take that back. That was just that was like,
that was just slander. Who the hell who they'll eats
(18:38):
wings with the bone in without their hands. No, no,
I said, why you like to eat? Yeah, you understand
all eat both. I just feel like boneless wings are
more consistent than bone in wings. But they're dry. I
just get them tossed on the sauce. I don't do tossing.
(19:02):
Some people get lost to the sauce. Some do. It's true.
I'll get lost in the tossing, get lost in the sauce. Alright,

all right for our friends listening on the game in Wisconsin.
(19:44):
All Right, they are friends and we appreciate their friendship.
We have some good news. According to Aaron Rodgers, he
was asked about whether or not he believes the Green
Bay Packers following a bad loss to Lavari Arrington's Washington
Commandos and Taylor Heineken, who tried to give the game
away early about it. According to Aaron Rodgers, the Green
(20:08):
Bay Packers still still in contention for making a playoff run.
This was Rogers yesterday writing the ship and getting the
playoffs in that fields right now, goddamn right at us,
I'm not worried about this squad. In fact, this might
be the best thing for us this week. You know,
nobody's gonna give us a chance going to Buffalo and
(20:30):
Sunday Night football, the chance they get exposed. Shoot, it
might be the best thing for us. All right. So
it's not. And I'm gonna just go ahead and check
off the box. It's it's not. That's a note for me. Yeah,
So I'll be going to Hollywood. I mean, but what
(20:50):
he dropped a g D on us. He dropped a
g D at Aaron Rodgers, so that's why we had
to dump it. Well, yeah that wasn't me not. Yeah,
you know you gotta be ca Yeah, you gotta be
careful with the g ds depending on who's out there. Yeah,
you gotta say caught Catholic, but you know a U
(21:12):
T or you know c O T COT. Yeah, there's that. Um.
Now for those of you that are wondering why is
Roger so confident, Well it's because they're only ten and
a half point underdogs for next Sunday Night's game at Buffalo, which,
by the way, the first time in Aaron Rodgers career
they've he's ever been a double digit underdog. But based
on what we saw yesterday, is there reason to believe
(21:35):
that the Green Bay Packers are going to bounce back
and rid themselves of another poor performance on the road.
Who's confident? I'm not me. I think you look at
the way they've played so far this year. There's no rhythm,
no flowing offense. Um, they don't run the football consistently.
The passing game is just I mean, they're searching. I mean, honestly,
(21:59):
I feel like it's about Halloween, right you guys ever
took bobbing for apples? Yes, you remember that? Like I said,
know how disgusting that is now that I look back
on it really disgusting. More about the bathtub, right, It's
like you're putting your face in after somebody else, after
somebody else, then they might have put their mouth on
the apple that you ended up bobbing and getting. Like
(22:20):
It's like I was watching that on TV the other day.
I was telling my kids I did that. They were like, Dad,
I was like, yeah, you're right in the in the
cod era. Probably I was thinking more just about the
fact that, like you don't even know if that bathtub
was like washed before. Yeah, so you might have been
getting like yeah, hardy apples, booty apples, other places apples
(22:46):
could have got some apples with some Oh no, what
anyway is ruined. The whole point of it is you've
got you You're you're just you're just praying for something,
(23:08):
you know, you're hoping to get something out of. I
feel like that's every offensive series for the Packers there,
bob for apples. It's like, can we just get someone
to be consistent, to be able to make a play
so we get some points come away with something. It
really does feel like that. It's painful to watch. Man.
I used to be under the water. I'd be like, oh,
I'm bubbling for apples. Aaron Rodgers brothers so happy that relax. Well,
(23:40):
I mean, at least at the end, I got what
I wanted. I don't know that Aaron Rodgers is gonna
get what he wants out of his coton darn uh
you right, we are like, I don't. I don't think
they got people in the perfect place that he thinks
he thinks people are in. Uh. That one. We've talked
about this before. The David bak tr A situation is odd.
(24:01):
We're going on, coming up on two years since he
tore his knee up right after he signed that contract extension,
and it's still an issue. He was scratched late on
Saturday night. And then Zach Tom who's his backup you know,
had had a quote that basically said, you know, just
looking at it the way he looks in practice, sometimes
you know you just gotta be ready. And and to me,
(24:24):
that's pretty damning. And we've we've said it before when
he tried to come back for the playoff game or
for the late game last year Week seventeen, he played
a handful of snaps and then wasn't available for the
playoff game and then miss more time at the start
of this year. It just feels like they're a mess
and and there there's similar comps to Tampa Bay. Tampa
Bay feels the same. But if but I look at
(24:46):
Tampa Bay and I go, they've got pieces, they've got
I'm more confident in Tampa Bay than I am Green
Bay turning turned this around. Although the NFC is wide open.
I just the Packers feel problems because a vision is awful. Yeah,
so that's why you feel that way. Yeah, it's not
it's not great in Green Bays. But you got Minnesota. Yeah,
(25:08):
Minnesota two gimes ahead. I mean, that's you gotta go
for a wild card. I don't think they're gonna catch Minnesota.
But I don't know that there I I don't know
that they're gonna be in the number two spots. I
mean Detroit, Detroit is yeah, yeah, they will be in
the number two spots. And yeah, yeah yeah, but it
(25:30):
still isn't the same as Tampa Bay. But Tampa Bay,
like that's that's a that's a disturbing situation, man like,
because it's turning into what what you would have thought
it could have turned into when Tom Brady went there,
and then he brings in all these guys like I'm
gonna bring in Gronk that turns up the dial on
(25:51):
on Mate for television. Then you bring in a b
and you're you're bringing in all these guys. You'd have thought, man,
there is a so opera brewing in Tampa Bay. But
you know what, give credit where credit is due. Bruce
kept that thing together. The question is going to be
(26:11):
for me, which is a great segue from my point,
what is la fleur? Like We're having this conversation and
it's all based upon what Aaron Rodgers is saying, But
really what's gonna have to happen is is that these coaches.
I think, I don't know what it you que or
somebody said it. I don't know who said it, but
like you know, they're gonna have to coach. You gott
(26:33):
a coach in Green Bay this year. You gotta you
gotta get some stuff done as a coaching staff if
this team is to win, because you don't have some
of the luxuries that you've had in years past, mainly
a number one receiver, and that's what you know, everybody
was banking on the fact that you get a young
(26:55):
guy in the draft, you got some widely veterans that
they can stay healthy and if the young guy can
can kind of progress quickly enough that Aaron Rodgers is
the guy that I can do it and they can
get over that hump and do what they need to do. Heck,
I had them in the Super Bowl, had them as
my pick, and look at my two picks, the Green
(27:15):
Bay Packers in the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore Ravens is like
scraping and scrounging to get victories and and Green Bay
can't even win. I mean, I don't know, man, it's
gonna come down to me. It's gonna come down to
the floor. Like if I was the floor, I would
I would kind of sack up and and honestly be like, listen, hey,
(27:36):
look ay right, we're gonna limit your your media availability
right now and focus in on getting ourselves on the
right track. You know, that would be me. I think
there's there's two things that play though, because there's a
common dominator between the Bucks and the Packers and that's
neither Rogers and Brady are really a part of the
(27:57):
off season and and I know, people, what does that matter.
They've done in the past and all that. Well, Rogers
didn't walk into the season with Davante Adams, who he
could at least rely on any time he wanted to.
I mean, that's a that's a big difference. And for
Tom Brady has obviously been a lot of stuff going
on the offseasons. He's maybe done it to a degree
in the past, but now you've got a season two
(28:19):
where that that head coaches and there Bruce Arians and
I don't know if you know he's a part of
game planning if he's not, you know, obviously he's not
on the sidelines talking with Byron Leftwitch on the headset
talking about different play calling. But I mean, it seems
like there's a drastic disconnect with all the quarterbacks and
the rest of their team. And it's it's not always
everyone else, like everyone wants to talk about like, oh,
(28:42):
who do the Bucks and Packers need to do to
come in? Well, the quarterbacks just need to play better.
That's a portion of it too. But I also feel
like if you if you look at the Packer season
so far, right, I mean outside of this most this
most recent loss, Like outside of looking at you losing
to the Washington co and Os, they've lost all teams
(29:02):
that have good records at this point, the five and
two Jets, the six and one Giants, the five and
one Vikings, Right, I mean, if you're just looking at records,
I think you look at and you go, well, look,
they're they're just a game under five. And with the
exception of this most recent loss on the road, which
is the first of a three game stretch on the road,
(29:23):
you know, they they've really lost the teams that are
are maybe good football teams. But maybe that's part of
it is do you really feel like the Jets are
a good football team? Do you really feel like the
Giants and this is gonna be sustainable to keep them
six and one? Like the Vikings, I think a divisional
game to open this season, you're kind of not sure
what to think now looking back on you're going, all right,
the Vikings look for real. But but I think that
(29:44):
plays a little bit into probably the perception of this
Packers team is not only like what they're you know,
how they look on the field, but like who they've
won and lost to, and what our perception of as
of those teams as well. Yeah, because Carolina Panthers ain't
been winning at all, know, and that team is just bad, bad,
(30:05):
So that makes you look at them and go all right,
like where where is where all the bucks? Right now?
Is that just like a jump because they got maybe
a couple of bad eggs out of there? I mean,
it's just it was christophercaffrey holding this team back. I
don't think anyone's actually serious when they say that or
asked that. Yeah, I mean, I thought you were gonna
(30:25):
keep going with a different point there, But I think
I think we all started thinking about the same exact
thing at the moment that you let me what's going
It was good. It was good to take just a good,
healthy pause to kind of reminisce about maybe there's like
a something in his personal life. You don't think there's
a care a lot of fan base that's more upset
(30:46):
about losing Olivia Colpo than Christian McCaffrey. You are a
dead law and most likely a teammates at at the
post game barbecues, you know, the catered events that that
the players went't got food as with the families, you
know they're gonna pour one out, yeah, every everyday. You guys,
remember the time when Christian used to come in here
with this Carol, We're gonna just put put this plate
(31:08):
down right here, would have played a food on it
in memory of you know, I used to sit one
one table away. We're going to put a plate right
there where the seat was. You guys remember when we
used to have those you know, dinners together and no
one could stand up once Christian Olivia got here. Yeah, yeah,
you wanted to greet him. But you know, if you
just have to just say hi, Hi, Hi, that's one
(31:31):
one way good to see you guys. One way to
sit at the beach. Just doing some research here, all right.

were in their throwback jerseys, obviously honoring the fiftieth anniversary.
Those are sweets and sounds badass. Some boys came on
(34:02):
to fill with them gold jackets on Boy the walkers,
and yeah he did happen. What happened that he did
have a cane? Oh my gosh, Christ still run you over.
Don't let that can fool you. Good god, now he
probably would well. Along with the greats being there, you
(34:24):
guys fans were treated to some nineteen seventy two prices
at the concession stands. You can get a soda for
seventy five cents, popcorn for dollars seventy five, and hot
dogs for two dollars. Kidding good at heart rock Yeah,
I mean I'll give out free drinks anyway. I mean,
think about all, don't they if you're gambling? Yeah, yeah,
I saw men. You know. That's what showing us. That's
(34:46):
actually one of showing us is a little tricks. And
he goes like a sin yeah story all the time.
Oh yeah, let me, I'll help you guys out with this,
all right. So you find a slot machine, you know
the penny slots, and you walk up to the slot machine,
you sit down, you make sure that the waitress sees you,
and you pull out like a wad of cash. Usually
(35:07):
what I do is it will be a twenty dollar
bill and a bunch of ones wrapped inside of it.
But I've got a start want of cash. Some people
put paper in there. Um yeah, but I'm I have
more class than that. And so you pull out. And
so you pull out, do you throw the twenty in?
You quickly put the water cash back in so she
doesn't realize they're all singles. And then when the waitress
(35:28):
comes around and you're playing the penny slots, you just say,
oh yeah, I'll take a couple of beers, and you
order two beers and you can sit there and play
on that twenty dollar bill on a penny slot if
you're doing one line of piece for easy forty five minutes,
and you can rifle through beers and tip her a
buck each time. Next thing, you know, he's happy. Yes, yeah,
it's great. Yeah, yeah, they don't And I don't think
(35:51):
you can order more than one in the time. By
the way, well you guys can. Again, you know you're
not you're not familiar with that whole scene. I am.
I'm not the king of crunshat hashtag relatable hard hat
lunch pail guy. Second, why have we fine for that? You? Okay?
(36:13):
Do you think that the Dolphins increase the prices of
booze knowing they were going to take it, you know,
and the they're gonna take it, take it in the
shorts on on these prices like dollar seventy five popcorn
or whatever it is. Do you think they just raised
the prices elsewhere? You give people wins and they come, wait,
(36:33):
hold on, thank you, Oh you're not wrong, exactly, thank
thank you. I'm just gonna stop talking. Probably probably one. Alright.
What else we got? All right? Yeah, the World Series?
We got a good time to be Phillies fan. We
got the Eagles that are undefeated, and the Phillies took
(36:55):
care of the Padres. They're gonna be taking on the
Astros who swept the Yankees. By the way, did you
see they like they knew, all right, if this game ends,
we're gonna have a problem here in Philadelphia. So they
brought out like the paint rollers and started greasing up
the poles. I mean, look, you cannot stop them if
(37:16):
they want to climb up a pole. Okay, by the way,
you're gonna climb that pole. But they are going to
climb that pole. Yeah, they are like the pole assassin. Yeah,
I just think that I believe it. Um Kyle Schwarber
when he hits home runs that bald bies just bombs,
just bombs. And also I was talking to Burdo about this.
(37:38):
I think we talked about it. Why does it look
so much prettier when a left handed bat hits a
home run than a right handed bat a tennis wing man,
There's something about it, like everything, just like a pole
shot from a left handed batter always looks better than
a right handed bat. Bryce harber Man, that moment was
one of the coolest things about sauce Us, like give
(38:01):
and give. Joe Davis was a part of that call,
Like it was perfect, Like that was something made out
of a movie but happened in real life. Did you
guys see the shot they had from right over Harbor's
shoulder where he literally when he when he hits it,
he leaves the frame and it just focuses on the
crowd as the ball goes there. Dude, that gave me chills.
I was like, that's one of the coolest little shots
(38:22):
and like images of that, And that's a guy who's
been buried by a lot of people. He took a
big contract and they said, oh, he just took the
money and he ran and and now he's in a
World Series's so good for him, man, good for him.
I mean he you know, he left. He come on,
they were actually a better rand organization, though they wanted
(38:44):

are we feeling here on Monday? How's everybody feeling fired up? Excited?
When getting you back a little bit right out the gate? Yeah?
(01:25):
I got him right out there. Yeah, that's supposed to
throw him up, isn't me? Here? Did the Miami Dolphins
make that game a lot harder than it had to
be last night? I just I mean, I mean, and
now a lot of people are pointing to electing to
go for it on fourth down when they're up six
(01:48):
and you can make it a two score game, and
I get all that, but it just felt like the
way they started, the way they were operating early, and
it just slowly got worse and worse from there. There
were a bunch of drop pix from two in his
first game back, and it just felt like they should
have drops from the offense as well, just to drop picks.
But go ahead. Yeah, No, it just felt like this
(02:10):
that game Miami could have been in total control of
yet for some reason, Kenny Pickett still had an opportunity
to win the game late on the road. Yeah, was
throwing the ball away. They were all throwing the ball away.
You think it was the rank you like, was it
the unexpected precipitation? Precipitation? I don't know. It's unexpected down here.
(02:30):
I mean, it's always a factor in the forecast to
some degree, But I'm not sure what the shocking up to. Again,
I've i've I struggle with the Steelers offense because there's
just there's not gonna be a change. It's not Trabsky,
it's not pick it. You know, you can pick out
different plays where there's a breakdown, whether it's the offensive line,
an issue with the receivers, or it's on the quarterback.
(02:53):
But you look at this offense compared to everything else
out there in the NFL, and it's a stark contrast.
It really is like the offenses that are that are
humming right now, they also have good scheme, good design.
You know, quarterbacks don't have to work so hard to
get a completion. It feels like that watching the Steelers.
(03:13):
It didn't feel like that watching the beginning of that game.
With the Dolphins. Like watching two us spit the ball
around being back in there behind center. That team just
has a different feel to them. I mean they feel
like that three and O team that we saw, you know,
but to begin the season before two got hurt um
and so looked they made it a lot harder in
the end that they needed to make it. But the
bottom line is they kind of dominated the game in
(03:36):
some ways at least early on, or made you feel
like if they really needed to, they could go down
and get points at will. I text message you guys like, oh,
it's great to see two back. It's so exciting when
tools in the game. Look at the way their offense
is opened up right now against Maya. Well my wounded,
my wounded Steelers. But it was okay. I was happy
(03:58):
about doing Then it was like wait, hold on, wait, wait,
where's it going? Where where's it going? Do you have
some good news for you? Okay, tell me, tell me.
Here was Dolphin's head coach Mike McDaniel talking you guys
like myoice, it was us. That's about a scoop of
an impression as we have on the that's right up
(04:19):
there next to Jonas Harry carry h No. I actually
think Lavars is better because it is right on point.
So here was Mike McDaniel after the game. It's not
an easy thing to do, you know, because we were
on a Thursday night game UM in Cincinnati. When he
last played those games, you don't have full speed practices.
So his last full speed practice was it was before
(04:41):
the Buffalo game. If he wasn't so prepared and put
himself UM in the position of playing quarterback when he
was out, he wouldn't have been able to have any
sort of success like that. So there, I didn't hear
anything he said because I was too busy sitting there
thinking to myself. He sounded like he sounds like a
(05:03):
student council president in middle school in high school, Like
he sounds like he's explaining the agenda for a student council.
Aren't today this this year? We want to make sure
that there's more than just milks at lunch. We don't
(05:24):
want to have chocolate milk. I don't know why everybody
gives us chocolate milk and carrots. I know it's supposed
to be calcium for your bones, but I just I
just feel like, why can't we have like SODA's. Oh sorry,
(05:50):
I didn't even hear what he said. Yeah, I mean, look,
he's an interesting guy. And when they asked, when they
were interviewing him to start the second half, he looks
so awkward. It just seemed like he was a little
bit uncomfortable, Like, yeah, I don't really know what to say. Really,
it's like I shouldn't even be here. I mean, I
(06:12):
like him. I think he's a breath of fresh air. Yeah,
I mean, and they won last night, but yeah, I
just I came away from that game thinking that it
was a lot more difficult than it needed to be.
And then when it comes to Kenny Pickett, I mean, look,
the numbers aren't great, it doesn't look all that hot.
But under no circumstances are we going to see any
(06:34):
sort of change you guys think with the coaching staff,
this is just gonna be what it's gonna be, and
it's gonna be a bad season in Pittsburgh. Can I
go back to the other side of the ball, really,
I mean to the other side of the field really quickly.
What were you guys thinking every time to a random
ball or took a hit, I mean, were you feeling
good for him? Did you take a deep breath? I
(06:56):
took a deep breath every time I didn't Good for him,
I don't know, I have no read I don't even
know why I'm watching. And I'm like, and then the
one guy, did you see the one defender pat him
on the back like he could have demolished him, and
instead of like hitting him, he like stopped, pulled up
(07:16):
and like patted him on his back, like okay, get
back to the huddle. And it was a defender that
did it. I don't I don't know. He's such a
likable guy. I just I just I'm just looking at this,
like every time he ran, like the one time he
put his shoulder down and he put his head down,
I was like, I don't know, that's a guy who's
a lot less worried about his own concussions and everybody else,
(07:38):
and and good for him, and I agree, But I
just wonder how many people around the world or was
watching the game. We're like, man, he's running, like, oh
don't like Oh like I just didn't want to see
it happened. Collinsworth even mentioned it. I mean, the fact
that I had the game on mute, I didn't been
(08:00):
here I'd say both both Chris Collinsworth and Mike Trico
kind of gave you that sense to I didn't feel
that way watching it because I was more curious, you know,
watching some of their scheme and what was going on.
But I just I I appreciate seeing him back in there.
To me, he's fun to watch within that offense. I
don't know that this year would look like it has
(08:21):
with him playing quarterback and the Dolphins. I think if
he stays healthy and this continues, you know, they're gonna
have to pay him, like they're gonna have to pick
up his option. They're gonna have to make a decision
on him long term because I think Mike McDaniels and
two are a tremendous fit with one another. I mean,
it's it is fun. It's not just to it, by
the way, either. It's just fun to watch them run
(08:42):
the football all the speed they have. I feel like
every single guy on their team, like you know, back
in the day, I remember when I was a young
kid used to go to the high state football camp
and like one of the prerequisites for being a quarterback
at Ohio State was like being six to like I
swear to God, that this list of things you had
to be packed up to be an act. It talked
about armstrongth talked about all like like football intelligence, and
(09:03):
then one of the one of the things was six
to at least six too. I was like, man, how
many dudes in here about ready to look at that
and be like, well, I'm out. I mean, it's like
not even a pre pre requisite. I feel like the
Miami Dolphins they look at their wide receivers and running backs.
It's like, well, if you can't run a four four
forty alright or a sub four four, you're out. Like
(09:26):
like all they do is they have these dudes come in.
They're like, all right, time them get that clock out there.
Because everyone looks blazing fast on this team. It's and
it's just it's fun to watch. Like I say, what
if you want about two one and like Daniels and
all that, but everyone's always flying around. I'm like, man,
this looks really fast on TV compared to everyone. They
were destroying the center of the field. They were killing
(09:48):
the same earlier and it was like, man, I mean
why not. And there was a couple like the ball
was right there, like I thought, you know, you could say,
it was a you know, good played by the defense,
But I thought Tyreek Hill had a couple of plays too.
He could have made her on that game down the middle.
But they started looking like ducks, like pickets. Balls started
looking ducky at the end of the game, like they
were like the rain, the rain, not so much the wind.
(10:12):
The wind, for sure down in South Florida place more
of a factor than people realized. Like that was the
one thing. Well, even just playing like preseason games there,
you're like, man, if it's if it's a little bit
of wind, it's always more than what you think. Like
buddies who come down in golf and they're like, what
sort of hood? I'm like, more than what you think,
because like you, you you get that ball up there
(10:34):
a little bit, it feels like gale force winds up there.
Jonas snows he looked down in South Carolina. He's been
through her. Yeah, yeah, listen, tropical storm. Try to driving
a tropical storm to go get something to eat and realize,
oh my car almost blew over. I'm gonna go ahead
and turn back around and get back. I swear to God,
like almost blew over, And I just turned back around
and drove back because I just underestimated it. Um Oh
(10:56):
think I think it was sonic because they had they
had a good dollar menu and I was broke drinks. Listen, Well,
I mean that's I mean, I'm supposed to be the
relatable guy here on this show, like yeah, you know,
I'm just trying the common man, you know, Yeah, yeah,
hashtag common man. I mean what I did? I did? Forget?
We did? We did have the story. LaVar has been
(11:17):
through some because you lived on the East Coast, you're
in d C. You've been through a hurricane. Yeah, have
to create a story. They were gone, Yeah, where did
they go? To? Coy Heaven? Heaven? And it smelled pretty
bad in there. Oh. I was like I was sitting
(11:41):
there talking to him like no, go oh, believe me.
They were they were my happy place. You know when
they're happy. They'd be moving around, you know, they were
all going belly up, man. And I mean I had
them since they were babies, Like I got them as
babies and they were like as long as like my arm.
They were big and they were going, they were going bully.
(12:02):
I can't believe you guys would take me to this
sad place. It wasn't enough that my Steelers lost, Like, yeah,
I want to take me to the sad place. I
feel like this is the same place that Jonas Kirst
with bass. Yeah, but just imagine like I had named
a lot of them, did get what were their names?
I had Larry Mow and Curly, I had uh, who else? Did?
(12:24):
I had? Uh? Captain Rogers um and they all had
like their unique little look you know there I could
tell who they were really. Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't forget, Like,
I don't know, I feel like I won't forget them.
It's been a long while, but you know, I had
him named that. At one point there was like they
started reproducing, like it was like it was a real
(12:47):
thing going on up in there. And then it got
damned hurricane. I'll tell you what, man, I don't even
remember the name of it. Which one was it Katrina? No?
That was it wasn't Katrina. What year you talk? I
don't remember it? Sold one fan U now right? Never never,
(13:07):
let's never knew Brady. I didn't see a Brady Brady.
What Kurt Russell movie do you think is on TV
one in the studio right now? It's not overboarded? Yes,
it is. Yeah, the underrated movies of all time, very underrated.
Yet I also don't know that Goldie Hand reveals anything
(13:28):
in that movie. She did, yeah, yes, she did. Did
She wasn't revealing, but she does have a mark key
part of the movie, or or a bite mark. Yeah, well,
let's find out. I wouldn't know. I'm sure it's very
(13:48):
old by now, whatever it was. By the way, Kurt
Russell prior a Thousand Oaks, California, yea thou Yeah, I
went to my elementary school to or actually I went
to Yeah, what's your favorite movie with Kurt Russell? Um? Oh,
used cars? Not even Backdraft? That? Yeah, man, he's got
(14:08):
so many good big, big Trouble, A Little China, got
so many good little trouble and big. Did you just
miss the chance to reference Backdraft? Shownas used cars? It's
gotta be used cars. I was raised on used cars.
It wasn't probably shouldn't have been allowed to watch it,
but my brother showed me used cars when I was
a kid, and it changed my life. One of the
funniest movies of all time. At just some of the
(14:32):
language and some of the dialogue in the movie. I
should not have been seeing as a child my older
cousins showed me Colors, and I was that Russell was
in color. No, no, it was pac Man. I was pinned, dude,
by the way. I was trying to explain our conversations
(14:54):
about twenty three and me on this show, like some
of are different inside jokes. I think liner to who,
But he just he did not get any of it. Well, sorry, man,
what's what? Specifically? What what sort of comment about twenty
three of me? Um? Just Romberto and LaVar's pant about
their assaults back. But he was asking about the sign
(15:24):
and I was like, well, there's this whole running joke
about this movie called Colors. Have you seen that? No?
I have not. I'm like, all right, well, it's gonna
make it a little more difficult to understand why this
is so funny. And I kept scanning the crowd. Didn't
see any of this week. So unfortunately, there we we
we missed our streak of Midwest cities. But I did
have someone. I did have someone come up Friday night. Um,
(15:47):
God blessed the guy. I was in Virginia Beach, but
he was in town. I forget what he's visiting for.
He was complaining about the fact that I don't know
if if he couldn't listen to us anymore what was
going on. But he was like, hey, big and listen
to the show. Like he interrupted our dinner just to
have this conversation. And so I was like, all right, great,

weekdays at six am Eastern three am Pacific on Fox

your favorite? I don't know, it's kind of weird. Yeah,
it is you bone less or or or bone in bone? Yeah,
(17:56):
I don't who steaks chicken whatever, I just want the
bone in it. Yeah, I'll eat I mean, I'll eat
bone in. But you know, if I had my choice,
I would rather a bone loss. Well that's because um,
Jonas doesn't use his hands to eat wings. That's exactly
what it is. Wow, Yeah, you're not You're not from
(18:18):
the East. Exactly what it is. You know, I've been
misrepresented a lot on this show. I will not stand
for that. I will not stand for that. That is
completely unfair and reckless. That was actually aggressive. That would
take that, take that back. That was just that was like,
that was just slander. Who the hell who they'll eats
(18:38):
wings with the bone in without their hands. No, no,
I said, why you like to eat? Yeah, you understand
all eat both. I just feel like boneless wings are
more consistent than bone in wings. But they're dry. I
just get them tossed on the sauce. I don't do tossing.
(19:02):
Some people get lost to the sauce. Some do. It's true.
I'll get lost in the tossing, get lost in the sauce. Alright,
it is, And a cup of Joe here on Fox

all right for our friends listening on the game in Wisconsin.
(19:44):
All Right, they are friends and we appreciate their friendship.
We have some good news. According to Aaron Rodgers, he
was asked about whether or not he believes the Green
Bay Packers following a bad loss to Lavari Arrington's Washington
Commandos and Taylor Heineken, who tried to give the game
away early about it. According to Aaron Rodgers, the Green
(20:08):
Bay Packers still still in contention for making a playoff run.
This was Rogers yesterday writing the ship and getting the
playoffs in that fields right now, goddamn right at us,
I'm not worried about this squad. In fact, this might
be the best thing for us this week. You know,
nobody's gonna give us a chance going to Buffalo and
(20:30):
Sunday Night football, the chance they get exposed. Shoot, it
might be the best thing for us. All right. So
it's not. And I'm gonna just go ahead and check
off the box. It's it's not. That's a note for me. Yeah,
So I'll be going to Hollywood. I mean, but what
(20:50):
he dropped a g D on us. He dropped a
g D at Aaron Rodgers, so that's why we had
to dump it. Well, yeah that wasn't me not. Yeah,
you know you gotta be ca Yeah, you gotta be
careful with the g ds depending on who's out there. Yeah,
you gotta say caught Catholic, but you know a U
(21:12):
T or you know c O T COT. Yeah, there's that. Um.
Now for those of you that are wondering why is
Roger so confident, Well it's because they're only ten and
a half point underdogs for next Sunday Night's game at Buffalo, which,
by the way, the first time in Aaron Rodgers career
they've he's ever been a double digit underdog. But based
on what we saw yesterday, is there reason to believe
(21:35):
that the Green Bay Packers are going to bounce back
and rid themselves of another poor performance on the road.
Who's confident? I'm not me. I think you look at
the way they've played so far this year. There's no rhythm,
no flowing offense. Um, they don't run the football consistently.
The passing game is just I mean, they're searching. I mean, honestly,
(21:59):
I feel like it's about Halloween, right you guys ever
took bobbing for apples? Yes, you remember that? Like I said,
know how disgusting that is now that I look back
on it really disgusting. More about the bathtub, right, It's
like you're putting your face in after somebody else, after
somebody else, then they might have put their mouth on
the apple that you ended up bobbing and getting. Like
(22:20):
It's like I was watching that on TV the other day.
I was telling my kids I did that. They were like, Dad,
I was like, yeah, you're right in the in the
cod era. Probably I was thinking more just about the
fact that, like you don't even know if that bathtub
was like washed before. Yeah, so you might have been
getting like yeah, hardy apples, booty apples, other places apples
(22:46):
could have got some apples with some Oh no, what
anyway is ruined. The whole point of it is you've
got you You're you're just you're just praying for something,
(23:08):
you know, you're hoping to get something out of. I
feel like that's every offensive series for the Packers there,
bob for apples. It's like, can we just get someone
to be consistent, to be able to make a play
so we get some points come away with something. It
really does feel like that. It's painful to watch. Man.
I used to be under the water. I'd be like, oh,
I'm bubbling for apples. Aaron Rodgers brothers so happy that relax. Well,
(23:40):
I mean, at least at the end, I got what
I wanted. I don't know that Aaron Rodgers is gonna
get what he wants out of his coton darn uh
you right, we are like, I don't. I don't think
they got people in the perfect place that he thinks
he thinks people are in. Uh. That one. We've talked
about this before. The David bak tr A situation is odd.
(24:01):
We're going on, coming up on two years since he
tore his knee up right after he signed that contract extension,
and it's still an issue. He was scratched late on
Saturday night. And then Zach Tom who's his backup you know,
had had a quote that basically said, you know, just
looking at it the way he looks in practice, sometimes
you know you just gotta be ready. And and to me,
(24:24):
that's pretty damning. And we've we've said it before when
he tried to come back for the playoff game or
for the late game last year Week seventeen, he played
a handful of snaps and then wasn't available for the
playoff game and then miss more time at the start
of this year. It just feels like they're a mess
and and there there's similar comps to Tampa Bay. Tampa
Bay feels the same. But if but I look at
(24:46):
Tampa Bay and I go, they've got pieces, they've got
I'm more confident in Tampa Bay than I am Green
Bay turning turned this around. Although the NFC is wide open.
I just the Packers feel problems because a vision is awful. Yeah,
so that's why you feel that way. Yeah, it's not
it's not great in Green Bays. But you got Minnesota. Yeah,
(25:08):
Minnesota two gimes ahead. I mean, that's you gotta go
for a wild card. I don't think they're gonna catch Minnesota.
But I don't know that there I I don't know
that they're gonna be in the number two spots. I
mean Detroit, Detroit is yeah, yeah, they will be in
the number two spots. And yeah, yeah yeah, but it
(25:30):
still isn't the same as Tampa Bay. But Tampa Bay,
like that's that's a that's a disturbing situation, man like,
because it's turning into what what you would have thought
it could have turned into when Tom Brady went there,
and then he brings in all these guys like I'm
gonna bring in Gronk that turns up the dial on
(25:51):
on Mate for television. Then you bring in a b
and you're you're bringing in all these guys. You'd have thought, man,
there is a so opera brewing in Tampa Bay. But
you know what, give credit where credit is due. Bruce
kept that thing together. The question is going to be
(26:11):
for me, which is a great segue from my point,
what is la fleur? Like We're having this conversation and
it's all based upon what Aaron Rodgers is saying, But
really what's gonna have to happen is is that these coaches.
I think, I don't know what it you que or
somebody said it. I don't know who said it, but
like you know, they're gonna have to coach. You gott
(26:33):
a coach in Green Bay this year. You gotta you
gotta get some stuff done as a coaching staff if
this team is to win, because you don't have some
of the luxuries that you've had in years past, mainly
a number one receiver, and that's what you know, everybody
was banking on the fact that you get a young
(26:55):
guy in the draft, you got some widely veterans that
they can stay healthy and if the young guy can
can kind of progress quickly enough that Aaron Rodgers is
the guy that I can do it and they can
get over that hump and do what they need to do. Heck,
I had them in the Super Bowl, had them as
my pick, and look at my two picks, the Green
(27:15):
Bay Packers in the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore Ravens is like
scraping and scrounging to get victories and and Green Bay
can't even win. I mean, I don't know, man, it's
gonna come down to me. It's gonna come down to
the floor. Like if I was the floor, I would
I would kind of sack up and and honestly be like, listen, hey,
(27:36):
look ay right, we're gonna limit your your media availability
right now and focus in on getting ourselves on the
right track. You know, that would be me. I think
there's there's two things that play though, because there's a
common dominator between the Bucks and the Packers and that's
neither Rogers and Brady are really a part of the
(27:57):
off season and and I know, people, what does that matter.
They've done in the past and all that. Well, Rogers
didn't walk into the season with Davante Adams, who he
could at least rely on any time he wanted to.
I mean, that's a that's a big difference. And for
Tom Brady has obviously been a lot of stuff going
on the offseasons. He's maybe done it to a degree
in the past, but now you've got a season two
(28:19):
where that that head coaches and there Bruce Arians and
I don't know if you know he's a part of
game planning if he's not, you know, obviously he's not
on the sidelines talking with Byron Leftwitch on the headset
talking about different play calling. But I mean, it seems
like there's a drastic disconnect with all the quarterbacks and
the rest of their team. And it's it's not always
everyone else, like everyone wants to talk about like, oh,
(28:42):
who do the Bucks and Packers need to do to
come in? Well, the quarterbacks just need to play better.
That's a portion of it too. But I also feel
like if you if you look at the Packer season
so far, right, I mean outside of this most this
most recent loss, Like outside of looking at you losing
to the Washington co and Os, they've lost all teams
(29:02):
that have good records at this point, the five and
two Jets, the six and one Giants, the five and
one Vikings, Right, I mean, if you're just looking at records,
I think you look at and you go, well, look,
they're they're just a game under five. And with the
exception of this most recent loss on the road, which
is the first of a three game stretch on the road,
(29:23):
you know, they they've really lost the teams that are
are maybe good football teams. But maybe that's part of
it is do you really feel like the Jets are
a good football team? Do you really feel like the
Giants and this is gonna be sustainable to keep them
six and one? Like the Vikings, I think a divisional
game to open this season, you're kind of not sure
what to think now looking back on you're going, all right,
the Vikings look for real. But but I think that
(29:44):
plays a little bit into probably the perception of this
Packers team is not only like what they're you know,
how they look on the field, but like who they've
won and lost to, and what our perception of as
of those teams as well. Yeah, because Carolina Panthers ain't
been winning at all, know, and that team is just bad, bad,
(30:05):
So that makes you look at them and go all right,
like where where is where all the bucks? Right now?
Is that just like a jump because they got maybe
a couple of bad eggs out of there? I mean,
it's just it was christophercaffrey holding this team back. I
don't think anyone's actually serious when they say that or
asked that. Yeah, I mean, I thought you were gonna
(30:25):
keep going with a different point there, But I think
I think we all started thinking about the same exact
thing at the moment that you let me what's going
It was good. It was good to take just a good,
healthy pause to kind of reminisce about maybe there's like
a something in his personal life. You don't think there's
a care a lot of fan base that's more upset
(30:46):
about losing Olivia Colpo than Christian McCaffrey. You are a
dead law and most likely a teammates at at the
post game barbecues, you know, the catered events that that
the players went't got food as with the families, you
know they're gonna pour one out, yeah, every everyday. You guys,
remember the time when Christian used to come in here
with this Carol, We're gonna just put put this plate
(31:08):
down right here, would have played a food on it
in memory of you know, I used to sit one
one table away. We're going to put a plate right
there where the seat was. You guys remember when we
used to have those you know, dinners together and no
one could stand up once Christian Olivia got here. Yeah, yeah,
you wanted to greet him. But you know, if you
just have to just say hi, Hi, Hi, that's one
(31:31):
one way good to see you guys. One way to
sit at the beach. Just doing some research here, all right.
It is two pros and a cup of joe here

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do lap Lap guys,
in case you missed the game last night, the Dolphins
were in their throwback jerseys, obviously honoring the fiftieth anniversary.
Those are sweets and sounds badass. Some boys came on
(34:02):
to fill with them gold jackets on Boy the walkers,
and yeah he did happen. What happened that he did
have a cane? Oh my gosh, Christ still run you over.
Don't let that can fool you. Good god, now he
probably would well. Along with the greats being there, you
(34:24):
guys fans were treated to some nineteen seventy two prices
at the concession stands. You can get a soda for
seventy five cents, popcorn for dollars seventy five, and hot
dogs for two dollars. Kidding good at heart rock Yeah,
I mean I'll give out free drinks anyway. I mean,
think about all, don't they if you're gambling? Yeah, yeah,
I saw men. You know. That's what showing us. That's
(34:46):
actually one of showing us is a little tricks. And
he goes like a sin yeah story all the time.
Oh yeah, let me, I'll help you guys out with this,
all right. So you find a slot machine, you know
the penny slots, and you walk up to the slot machine,
you sit down, you make sure that the waitress sees you,
and you pull out like a wad of cash. Usually
(35:07):
what I do is it will be a twenty dollar
bill and a bunch of ones wrapped inside of it.
But I've got a start want of cash. Some people
put paper in there. Um yeah, but I'm I have
more class than that. And so you pull out. And
so you pull out, do you throw the twenty in?
You quickly put the water cash back in so she
doesn't realize they're all singles. And then when the waitress
(35:28):
comes around and you're playing the penny slots, you just say,
oh yeah, I'll take a couple of beers, and you
order two beers and you can sit there and play
on that twenty dollar bill on a penny slot if
you're doing one line of piece for easy forty five minutes,
and you can rifle through beers and tip her a
buck each time. Next thing, you know, he's happy. Yes, yeah,
it's great. Yeah, yeah, they don't And I don't think
(35:51):
you can order more than one in the time. By
the way, well you guys can. Again, you know you're
not you're not familiar with that whole scene. I am.
I'm not the king of crunshat hashtag relatable hard hat
lunch pail guy. Second, why have we fine for that? You? Okay?
(36:13):
Do you think that the Dolphins increase the prices of
booze knowing they were going to take it, you know,
and the they're gonna take it, take it in the
shorts on on these prices like dollar seventy five popcorn
or whatever it is. Do you think they just raised
the prices elsewhere? You give people wins and they come, wait,
(36:33):
hold on, thank you, Oh you're not wrong, exactly, thank
thank you. I'm just gonna stop talking. Probably probably one. Alright.
What else we got? All right? Yeah, the World Series?
We got a good time to be Phillies fan. We
got the Eagles that are undefeated, and the Phillies took
(36:55):
care of the Padres. They're gonna be taking on the
Astros who swept the Yankees. By the way, did you
see they like they knew, all right, if this game ends,
we're gonna have a problem here in Philadelphia. So they
brought out like the paint rollers and started greasing up
the poles. I mean, look, you cannot stop them if
(37:16):
they want to climb up a pole. Okay, by the way,
you're gonna climb that pole. But they are going to
climb that pole. Yeah, they are like the pole assassin. Yeah,
I just think that I believe it. Um Kyle Schwarber
when he hits home runs that bald bies just bombs,
just bombs. And also I was talking to Burdo about this.
(37:38):
I think we talked about it. Why does it look
so much prettier when a left handed bat hits a
home run than a right handed bat a tennis wing man,
There's something about it, like everything, just like a pole
shot from a left handed batter always looks better than
a right handed bat. Bryce harber Man, that moment was
one of the coolest things about sauce Us, like give
(38:01):
and give. Joe Davis was a part of that call,
Like it was perfect, Like that was something made out
of a movie but happened in real life. Did you
guys see the shot they had from right over Harbor's
shoulder where he literally when he when he hits it,
he leaves the frame and it just focuses on the
crowd as the ball goes there. Dude, that gave me chills.
I was like, that's one of the coolest little shots
(38:22):
and like images of that, And that's a guy who's
been buried by a lot of people. He took a
big contract and they said, oh, he just took the
money and he ran and and now he's in a
World Series's so good for him, man, good for him.
I mean he you know, he left. He come on,
they were actually a better rand organization, though they wanted
(38:44):
