somebody in the NFL is very very very rich, very
very rich. Yeah. But this person, I feel like, is

(01:24):
on a level of wealth that not only very few
people can relate to, but also I don't think a
lot of people would be very happy about. And that
somebody is Roger Goodell. Because, according to Adam Schefter, Roger
Goodell is expected to receive a multi year contract extension
next week at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix. It'll

(01:44):
be Goodell's fourth extension. Financial terms of the deal are
unknown yet, but it's expected to be an incentive laden
deal and the most lucrative of any that any commissioner
in any sport has ever gotten. And when you look
this stuff up, the number very a little bit. But
he's already made Roger Goodell that is in the neighborhood

(02:05):
of five hundred million dollars so far half a bill
for Roger Goodell. Wow. Yeah. So the question becomes, has
he done a good enough job to warrant that amount
of money that he has gotten so far from the NFL?
And he's going to be sticking around for a little
bit longer. Well, I mean, he wouldn't be getting that

(02:29):
amount of money if he didn't you know, put up
the results. Yeah, So that's what you gotta know is
that it's such a lud lucrative business. Roger Goodell has
been one of those guys who has done a whole
lot in terms of creating new revenue, revenue streams, developing

(02:55):
the develop things, the development of you know, how business
is being done in the League. I mean from abroad
to whatever it is that's taking place with you know,
any and everything that you can use and figure out
to grow the bottom line. I mean, at one point,

(03:15):
I'm not sure what the numbers are now in terms
of what they're grossing, but I know it's been been
a few years now where that eight billion number was
the number that that the that the League was generating. Well,
a lot of that came from the stimulation of what
Roger Goodell brought to UM, brought to the office, you know,

(03:39):
after after Paul Taglibu stepped down. So to answer the question,
you have to say it's a resounding yes that he's
deserving of what his contract is. If they're paying him
half a billion dollars to maintain his position. Then you
could only imagine the owners are generating and what they're

(04:03):
making off of the decisions that Roger Goodell is making
in terms of how it's growing the sport or how
it's growing the revenue streams for the sports. So I
think that the Roger Goodell conversation's interesting because he's no
doubt made some mistakes, Like I think everybody can agree
to that, you know, him stepping in and wanting to

(04:25):
be judge jury and execution when it comes to player punishments,
Like you look back at some of the length of
punishments that players and suspensions that players received years ago,
and you go, well, I mean in comparison to like
when ray Rice only got suspended for two games and
they knew what was on that video bad Look and
everybody everybody saw the video and then the video disappeared

(04:48):
and all the other things that came along with it. Obviously,
we know the officiating stuff is an issue, like there
has been that everyone points to the concussion handling and
CTE and all of that and potential cover up if
you will. There has been some stuff that you look
at when it comes to Roger Goodell, that you can
question the job that he's done and why he would

(05:09):
have done the things that he did. Minority hiring has
been another one, like all sorts of the one thing
you can't question from a business standpoint, He's been fantastic
because the league figures out away every single year to
add some other element that takes it to another level.

(05:30):
Right when you think you've seen it all and there's
going to be they've they've hit their ceiling, they figure
out a way, whether it's we're going to implement gambling,
we're gonna do a new TV deal, We're going to
go to streaming, we're gonna he's always finding another avenue
to push the league from a business standpoint, And if
you're an owner, isn't that all you care about? Like

(05:50):
how can you make me the most money possible? And
from that from that advantage point to me, I don't
have a problem with the amount of money that he's
made understanding, but it's done to help grow the game.
His strategies. Yeah, I mean as far as like the
the mistakes and missteps, I mean, you're not who's going
to be perfect. You know, you're running a multi multi, multi,

(06:13):
multi billion dollar company, from the nonprofit, from the five
O one C three office. You're you're managing all of
these these tentacles. Who's not going to have missteps. I
mean the microscope on the league is so so focused
and so strong. Everyone looks, the media looks, everyone looks

(06:38):
to have something to discuss that is controversial because they're
on top. I mean, nothing is really comparable to what
the NFL is doing in terms of what they're able
to generate. So of course there's going to be things
that are looked at and say, Okay that he could
have did this better, that could have been handled different

(07:00):
and leave that could have been handled better. But you're
not going to have one person that takes a job
of that caliber and and they're not going to fall
under the eye of scrutiny and not fall under the
court of public opinion. In terms of how things are
handled and how things are managed. That's just that's that's

(07:20):
part of that's to be honest, Jonas, that's partially why
you make that type of money as well. Yeah, it's
to be able to take the darts, to be able
to take the arrows and the bullets that come your way.
I mean, he's had to take a lot of those
by the way, where he's had to stand up there
and get pounded with questions that owners don't want to answer.
There you go. He's had to be the you know,

(07:40):
the windshield for a lot of a lot of things
that the NFL's you know try to you know, figure
out a way around and have to answer for. And
it's not a lot of owners who do it. It's
Roger Goodell who standing up there taking all the bullets.
That's correct, um. But what is interesting about this though,
because I was thinking, so all the money that he's

(08:01):
made and all this stuff that has come in and
people talk about, you know, the job that he's done.
I still and even though we're a couple of years
away from it, the fact that we had a full
season during the COVID year with no games missed, We
had playoffs, we had a Super Bowl. They figured out

(08:24):
ways to put games on Tuesdays Wednesdays. And it's not
just Roger Goodell, it's all the people that worked with
him and around him. The fact that we were able
to still have an entire season and the playoffs and
the Super Bowl. Fans are no fans and they were
able to navigate through all of that. I still can't

(08:45):
figure out how they did it, because you saw a
lot of other leagues that were folding. The NFL started
on time and finished on time. There was like no
the NBA went to a bubble. You had college football
do this abbreviated schedule. Some conferences didn't want to play
and some did want to play. They add games canceled.
The NFL figured out a way to play an entire season,

(09:06):
which to me is still shocking. Through the entire all
of COVID that we actually were able to watch games
and see games played every single week. And I think
that also is another credit to Roger Goodell and the
people there at the NFL who put it all together.
It was a pretty daunting task, I mean, crazy man,
and with everything that you had to create protocols wise

(09:28):
to be able to do it. You know, one thing
that I'll say is when you give a person the
credit to being able to run things at a high level,
you ultimately have to look at the team that that
that they've assembled. You know, the NFL league offices has
some of the best, brightest minds working through and navigating

(09:52):
through you know, matters such as these that that need
to be you know handled and the prop er way,
because that could have gone horribly horribly wrong. You know,
it could have gone like somebody could have died. I mean,
look at the way people reacted when when we had

(10:13):
the health scare with the bills, row with Hamlin and
you know, could you imagine if someone had contracted or
can't you know, came came up with COVID and passed away. Yeah,
you know, it didn't happen. And also for people that
are out there saying, well, knowing what we know now,
you know, the likelihood of that happening was, Well, the

(10:34):
problem is we didn't know all that back then, Like
in real time, nobody really understood what the hell was happening.
You had theories, you had people thrown out some their
thoughts on things, but nobody really had an idea. So,
you know, the wild thing about it is it's still
that's it's still out there, Like that's still it's still

(10:54):
a part of it. Like it's it's almost like we
got to the point which is that that's what we
do as as humanity, but it's it's like COVID is
still out there. People are still Like I get the
reminder every day when I see people wearing masks, because
so now it's going back to it's weird to see

(11:17):
people with mask on. Like it's going back to that,
it's not now it's weird to see somebody without a
mask on. It's now weird to see somebody with a
mask on. And and it's but it's a reminder that people,
you know that that COVID is still out there. You
can still contract COVID, you could still have the same

(11:38):
results take place from COVID now that you could have
you know, resulted in having back then. So that is
what it is. But I'm just saying in a time,
in a moment where it was so volatile, the conversation
of it, the impact that it had on our world,

(11:58):
not just our country, but on our entire world. Um,
this was a global pandemic. And and so you're talking
about you're talking about going and still finding a measure
of normal, a measure of hope, And in the NFL

(12:20):
was able to deliver, and and they they delivered in
in a way where I mean, look, I didn't really
I thought it was kind of weird watching the games
with no fans in the stands, and then you wonder,
you know, how how are you going to get back
to normal? How are you going to get back to
full capacity? Those were all conversations that needed to be

(12:41):
broached as well. And and you know what, they did it.
They did it. And you do have to give credit
to Roger Goodell being at the helm of the NFL
and how everything was handled, because if it had gone wrong,
you know whose head is on the chopping block. Roger
good Guy, same guy has got to take the bullets

(13:03):
for the owners. Was gonna have to take all those
bullets if something when terribly wrong. By the way, um,
just to follow up, Harry Jones would have been right
there to kick that dirt on him, just to follow
up on the Damar Hamlin stuff. He is a minus
one fifty on DraftKings to win Comeback Player of the Year.
So if anybody wants to also jump into that, into

(13:25):
that world, in that realm, the gambling world, how about
that guy nearly died A guy guy basically died on
the field in the middle of Monday night football, and
just a few months later there are odds on him
winning Comeback Player of the Years Like you can bet
money on a guy who died on the field, Like

(13:46):
that is that is how sometimes crazy things are that
we talk about. That that's actually like a real thing,
like you could actually I well, it depends depends on
you know what sort of lawyer gets in his ear
and says, hold on, hold on, you make way more

(14:06):
if you don't go back. Hey, you know, you know
you were kind of explain to you, why explain to
you the options and the reasons why. And and I
have one hundred percent believe that those conversations are going on,
and the NFL understands that there's a possibility this could
this could get a little bit a little bit messy

(14:27):
in that front, like just feels like, yeah, it feels
like that it only takes one to open up Pandora's
box on some of this stuff, and you know that
it could be, you know, it would be something could be.

from somebody who happens to be in very close proximity,

(15:09):
maybe a little bit of a dig at somebody who's
in close proximity to them, from one coach to another.
We'll get into that for you right here on Fox
Sports Radio. Be sure to catch live editions of Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LaVar
Arrington and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern, three
am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, Fox Sports Radio,
LaVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you here. Coming up later
on this hour, a little over twenty minutes from now,
we're gonna have another edition of would You Rather? It
is a Tuesday tradition here on FSR, So we'll get
into that for you here on Fox Sports Radio again
a little over twenty minutes from now from the tire
Rack dot Com studios. So Nick Sabin decided he was

(15:56):
going to go ahead and make an announcement. He's got
a freshman defensive back named Tony Mitchell who was arrested
last week and arrest in Florida that resulted in drug
and weapon charges. And so, Nick Saban, you made the
announcement of what the punishment was going to be and
also made sure to point out, you know that there

(16:17):
was no wrong place, wrong time, which is something that
the Alabama had basketball coach NATO's said in regard to
freshman Brandon Miller's involvement in a fatal shooting in Tuscaloosa
in January. Let's take a listen to Nick Saban. Tony
Mitchell has been suspended from the team on all team

(16:37):
activities until we gather more information about the situation and
what his legal circumstances. And you know, I mean, guys,
everybody's got an opportunity to make choices and decisions. There's
no such thing and being at the wrong place at
the wrong time. You got a re responsible for who
you're with, who you're around, and what you do, who

(16:57):
you associate yourself with, and the situations that you put
yourself in. So um, it is what it is. But
there is you know, cause and effect when you make
you know, choices and decisions that I'll put you in
bad situations. So was he alluding to maybe what happened
with the basketball team and the coach saying wrong place,

(17:19):
wrong time, and and that's why saving brought that stuff up,
you know, maybe maybe given a little bit of a
bad look to the university that Brandon Miller was still
out there playing and is still out there playing while
Alabamas making a run towards a national championship. Did you
did you take that from the comments there from saying
I mean, why wouldn't you? Yeah, it's uh, why wouldn't you?

(17:42):
Why wouldn't you protect what you've built? Like the worst thing?
You know. One of the things that I can honestly
say from experience is when somebody helps to build legacy,
but they're a part of hurting it, that that as
HiT's differently man like Jerry Saddusky was a major part

(18:04):
of building helping build the legacy at Penn State, and
when all that stuff happened, he was single handedly a
person that tore down the legacy of what Penn State
represented and it was replaced with infamy and amongst other
ways of describing, you know, our institution and the people

(18:29):
who are associated with it. And and so when you
hear those type of comments that that coach Saban made,
you know, it's the worst thing when you see your
reputation destroyed or or altered or you know, just not

(18:51):
not a favorable look and you had nothing to do
with it. You had nothing to do with how this
handled the situation with with these players and their involvement
or lack thereof. Like, there's so many people out it's
so interesting when I did I did a post on

(19:12):
the pat Now with Brandon Miller, and everybody's like, Oh,
they've been doing it all season, or oh, it's it's
an MMA thing, or oh they're just kids being kids
and this that and no other and died like so
on and so forth, And it's always something else until
it's the something that hits hardest, like something comes out

(19:35):
later on or nothing really even needed to come out.
If I'm the coach or I'm somebody on that staff,
I'm aware of what these dudes are doing in pregame,
especially Hey Jonas in a time where you're dealing with
the investigations that are taking place and someone lost their life,

(19:56):
why would you even I would have been in that
lock room, like no pat downs. That would be the
time you would think that you'd want to be as
buttoned up as possible. It's buttoned up as you can be,
and to sit there and your response to be so
nonchalant and it's just business as usual. If I'm Nick Saban,
I'm somewhere and I'm screaming, you know, into a pillow,

(20:21):
or I'm I'm looking into my bathroom mirror or something
like that, and I'm like, he's gonna aff it up.
This dude's gonna have it all up, because all it
takes is somebody, one person, to mess it all up.
And then and then the all the momentum that this
man has built during all these years at Alabama is gone.

(20:42):
Because it also, I think people are you can't really
separate the two because this isn't a somebody lost their lives,
a mom lost her life, so you can't really separate. Well,
that was the basketball program where the football program bro
It happened in Tuscaloosa, and both both are located in Tuscaloosa,
And I would venture to guess that with all the

(21:04):
Sandowsky stuff in Penn State, they labeled our entire school,
entire everything yes, and we were all we were all guilty,
and that we were all guilty. That's yeah, that's that,
and that's the point I'm making right Like, that's that's
why I drew the comparison of Penn State, literally alumni,

(21:27):
current players, current current students, current faculty, current anything, Penn State,
where all child abusers were all child rapists. We're all
child this, that and the other, all of us, and
that's everybody's punchline. When they felt uncomfortable or or you
wanted to be funny or you wanted to have a
good comeback, Oh you went to Penn State. Oh you

(21:49):
was touching them kids too, huh. Like that became a
narrative that was connected to all of us. And then
if you defended the program or the school, like then
you're offending what took place. Like I remember Frank o'harris
got buried like people were crushing him because he came
out and was defending the program. I remember there were

(22:09):
there were other players, you know, Spice Adams spoke out
publicly because of it. I think, um, if I'm not mistaken,
who was here, But there were several other like former
players who came out and was Matt Millen I think,
I think came out as well to it and was
speaking on the subject. And if you just spoke about
it and said we're not all like that, you immediately

(22:32):
got labeled as one of them crazy. I was the
most vocal in the media the entire time. I probably
got and got crushed, right. I mean, it wasn't easy.
It wasn't the easiest time. It was a very very dark,
it was a very hard time. And and to me again,
when when you think about the things that you have

(22:54):
to go through um and and what you experience, and
how people speak on you and speak about you, it's
the wildest thing because, if anything, we're the total antithesis
of what we're being accused of, you know, me, myself
personally personally, all those other guys, all the other people

(23:18):
that are associated with our school. It's the total antithesis.
My whole life is dedicated to helping kids. I don't
I don't do anything crazy, you know, and and violate
anybody or anything like that. But yet that's what I
was made to be. So and and bringing the point,
tying the point back around too, how Nick Saban discussed

(23:41):
and how he sounded tone wise and what he's saying,
you've got. The amount of success that school has been
able to enjoy has been because of Nick Saban building
that football program to what it became and what it
is now. Everybody else is able to benefit from it.
But if you if you ruin that reputation, like think about, like,

(24:06):
there's going to be some kids that wanted to go
to Alabama that I don't want to go anymore. I'll
give you a great example. Here's another personal example. I
was going to Miami. I wanted to go to Miami
and play for to you, Marlon Barnes gets murdered in
his his his room, I want to say apartment room

(24:28):
or whatever it is. He gets murdered in his room.
Change my mind, like, I'm not going. I'm not going
there because I don't want That's an element that I
don't like. I don't want to. I don't want to
be in college worrying about if somebody's going to come
into my room and beat me to death. Literally. So

(24:51):
I changed my mind and I started like weighing out,
like I had three three different options. I had Miami,
I had Penn State, I had Florida State. Those were
my three schools that I I was looking at very heavily,
and Miami fell off that list at number one. They
fell off the list because of what took place. Now
everybody at Miami and Coral Gables. I've been to Coral

(25:13):
Gables a ton of times since since college. It's a
beautiful place, a lot of old money, a lot of
a lot of really really affluent people. I didn't know that.
I thought. I thought that the University of Miami was
like in Liberty City. So I'm thinking I'm going into
a war zone if I would go to Miami. It's
a perception. It was a misperception guided by a narrative

(25:37):
that came from what took place with Marlin Barnes. So
while it wasn't a player that passed away and lost
their life in what took place in Tuscaloosa, nonetheless an
innocent bystandard in Tuscaaloosa, Alabama lost their life in a
shooting that involved players on the team. You cannot take

(25:59):
that lightly. That cannot be taken lightly. That can't be just,
you know, you just brush it under the rug or
you just just breeze over it. You can't do that.
And so when you're talking about protecting that reputation. That's
that's something that you know, I'm sure Nick Saban is

(26:20):
going to be very very committed to and very adamant
about doing because I can guarantee you nobody's looking at
that basketball coach like he holds the the you know,
the tradition and the legacy and the value of of
of Alabama like Nick Saban does. So he'll be he'll
come and go, you know, he'll he'll be here now

(26:41):
and gone tomorrow, and he'll be then ruined the reputation
of the entire school. And also when you think about
Saban last year, Saban, you know, kind of put his
foot in his mouth a little bit when he called
out Jimbo Fisher and all the and all that. And
he had a lot of people but like Nick Saban
said that publicly, and one of the pushbacks was, oh yeah, well,

(27:04):
like you haven't done some things. Jimbo Fisher, you know,
hinted around. I know a lot of stuff about Nick Saban.
So I find it hard to believe that Saban would
come out a year later and say this about what's
happening with his football program without knowing people here. People
interpret people. This was clearly him letting everybody know we're

(27:27):
different from them. Whatever you think goes on here at Alabama,
that let it. You know, we want to be clear
that we're not this. He didn't come out specifically and
say that, but he wanted to be clear there's a
separation between the two of us and how we do things,
even because I think he realizes to your point, some
people like there could be a recruit who's thinking about

(27:48):
going to Tuscaloosa and all of a sudden, their parents
says to him, you're not going there. Like if if
that's how this stuff is handled, you're not going there.
I mean, like, we want to send our kid to
Tuscaloosa to go to college. Yeah, you want to go
there and play Division one at a top notch program.
But I wouldn't be surprised if Nick Saban didn't have
to have discussions with recruits since January and their family

(28:11):
is about, Hey, what's going on over there? Is that
how things are done in Tuscaloosa. I one percent think
that's happened over the past couple of months for Saban.
I mean, there's going to be family. You're my daughter
is getting heavily recruited for volleyball. She's going to be
a senior next year. I am freaking out, Jonas, just

(28:32):
freaking out like that. She was just a baby. I
was just holding her as a baby. And now she's
going to be a senior next year, and she's going
to go off to school somewhere. And I have to
trust that the environment that my daughter is going in
into is not one where I'm going to get a
call at some point in time while I'm doing this

(28:53):
radio show, while i'm i'm I'm mowing my lawn, while
i'm I'm taking a nap, whatever it may be. I
don't want to get that call, Jonas. I don't want
to receive a call where someone said that, you know,
my daughter has been involved with a shooting or something
took place. And this is the main strip. These are

(29:16):
college athletes. Like what if one of these boys is
trying to talk to my daughter? What if one of
them is dating my daughter? What like? What if? Like
it's all these what ifs that come about when things
like this happened, and if it's not addressed the right way,
you're damned for sure. Right that parents are going to
sit there and think twice about if they're going to

(29:38):
allow that child that was their baby that's now at
the point of adulthood, just turn them over to being
in an environment where something like that could happen. You
feel that way. In a safe environment, they go to
a safe place, you still feel the same exact way.
Let alone, if they go somewhere where you know something

(29:59):
that's taken place and it's been reported all in the
news and it's something that has been kind of like,
you know, sensationalized in a way like you don't want
to be a part of that night. Who wants to
be a part of that? Yeah, it's seems pretty obvious
what Stapan was trying to Absolutely absolutely Two Pros and
a Cup of Joe here on FSR SO coming up

(30:20):

let's make history. I know, would you rather your random topics,
sports or otherwise? All right, lead the lap. What do
we got, guys? A lot of movement in NFL free agency,
a lot of movement with the wide receivers. I want

(32:08):
to just throw out a few of the mini Would
you rather have Adam Feelin on the Panthers, Brandon Cooks
on the Cowboys or Juju Smith Schuster on the Patriots?
Cooks on the Cowboy, Yeah, I'll say Brandon Cooks on
the Cowboys. I mean Adam Feeling. I just wonder, what,
you know, what's his productivity going to be like? There?

(32:30):
Like he's had some great years, but it feels like hell,
it's been a problem. And also there was probably a
lot of opportunities considering Justin Jefferson was going to get
most of the coverage. I just I don't know that
he's going to see the same production there. And then
Juju Smith Schuster with New England. I mean, we don't
we don't know what the hell's going on with Mac Jones.
He was in a quarterback battle last year with some

(32:52):
guy named Bailey Zappo or like some guy named after
a lighter was competing and competing for the quarterback job
with mac Joe last year? So what else? Age? I mean?
You also could have thrown Zappy By the way, you
also could have thrown out Jacobe Myles with the Raiders
and Hard with the Jets. By the way, is Zappo

(33:12):
is the name of a lighter right, Zippo whatever? Close enough?
That's the name of a shoe shoe dot com? Is
it really? I didn't know? Okay, lighter shoe? What else
we got? Guys? Would you rather hang out throwing down
some McDonald's with Chado Chosinko or eaten some skittles with
Marshawn Lynch McDonald's. Oh, I mean that's a tough one

(33:40):
because it's all about the experience and the fine. I
think Marshawn Lynch would be fun to hang out neat
skittles with, but so with chat to eat McDonald's. I'm
I'm gonna go with Marshawn because you went with McDonald's,
not because it would be better, but because these two
were very close though they're close. And also like, I
just I don't need as much can and the like,

(34:01):
you know, I just for whatever reason just doesn't sit
right anymore. And Skittles. You bite into like a hard
Skittles and I feel like it's going to break my teeth.
Here you go. I'm just saying like I don't Skittles
used to be awesome back in the day. And I
don't know if if the difference. But do you separate
the colors and eat them or do you eat them

(34:21):
all at one time? I do. I gotta separate the colors.
Got to be separated. I want. I want the lemon
with the lemon, the orange with the orange, because it
just feels like there's too many contrasting flavors in there.
It's gonna gross. Not me, Yeah, oh no, not me?
What else? Are you going morbid on this one? Would
you work? Would you rather be buried alive or eating alive? Christly,

(34:46):
I would rather neither of those? Yeah, Lee really yeah,
it's a classic. Would you rather? First of all, buried
alive is one of my biggest fears, falling to my
death and being buried alive like those those are like
horrible fears, being eating alive. It's it's ironic. I was

(35:07):
just watching on my social media. I was watching a
hippo get attacked by lions and they were literally eating
the hippo while it was alive. Damn how many lions
got that hippo? I mean it was like two or
three that we're jumping on. I was gonna say, one
on one that line has stayed a chance with a hippo,
not at all. But it was well these lines was

(35:32):
taking him out and he was still alive. I just
wouldn't want to feel something chewing me up, in killing
me basically, and I got to feel that while I'm
going to my death, like that's I don't want to
do either one of those. Man, That's that's all. That's
worse than more bid. I'd rather I'd rather be eating alive,

(35:52):
just because at least I could get a couple of
shots in, you know, if I'm still like you're like
Quinn on Jaws when he's getting eaten by the show
arc Like, if I'm him, I'm putting a thumb in
that thing's eyes, like like something on the way out.
I gotta I gotta get some lick in on the
way out. If you're buried alive. What was that key
for Sutherland movie where he was buried alive and he

(36:12):
used a lighter. He put his lighter on and he
realized he was in a in a coffin underground somewhere.
There was some key for Southern No. It was like
a movie. I forget what it was. Was Lost maybe, No,
not Lost Boys. Maybe it was The Vanishing And it
wasn't Flatliners either. That was a kind of a weird movie.

(36:33):
But yeah, just being buried alive is just an awful God,
what an awful way to go just I didn't want
to think about it. What are you doing it? Morning time?
Why do we gonna get send people with such dark
thoughts into their work? That was pretty dark. I would
personally rather buried alive. I feel like you have a chance.

(36:55):
I don't know, you're fighting. Chance is a good thing,
a good thing to be on top of the food chain.
I'll move it a law. Um, would you rather go
to a movie alone or have dinner alone? Dinner? Are
there drinks at dinner? You can drink as much as
you want. Are there drinks at the movie? Yeah? Of
course I bring drinks to the movie. Of course you do.

(37:15):
You don't, you don't pay for him? You bring back?
Of course they have bars, and that's a great, great
new feature. I'll go movie dinner, just feel like it's
a little bit more weird. Yeah, although when I was younger,
I used to look at like guys that went to
movies by themselves. I'm look at this loser going to
the movie and then and now and now I want

(37:36):
to and now and now It's like, now that's gonna
be me. Yeah, that's all you want to do now? Yeah? Yeah,
you're you're a creeper. You go to the movies about yourself? Yeah,
let me tell you want yourself. You're a gee. You
go to dinner about yourself, like losing. Across from my
brother's bar, there's a movie theater and I can't tell
you how many times you go into the bar. You'd

(37:58):
throwback a couple of throw bombs. Oh yeah, walk into
the theater by yourself. Get some popil, Yeah, some of
that liverlube. You know you licked a little little bit,
and then you walk in there and you're after it.
Check out from the world. Man, nobody can get to you. Yeah.
What else would you rather? Um? Would you always? She

(38:18):
always does find you? Hey lime? Oh my god, no moment.
Would you rather be a dog or a cat? Oh?
All the way? Um god, probably a cat. Actually, I
probably rather be a cat, even though I like dogs
way better. Yeah, makes sense. They leave you to hell

(38:41):
alone when you're a cat. Fox Sports Radio has the
