Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is time for another episode of Off
the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynching Taco Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here at one O one one w j r.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
R in Orlando. I Pat Lynch, Talkobob, What are you
staring at over there?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I was looking at my little notes on my special
phone that I have special phone. Yes, yes, And the
notes are for on and off the air. It's different
things to bring up during on the air and off
the air. You know, the listener is just talking to
Sean who just won on our show that was on
the air. God, that's so confusing. Anyway, on a regular
(00:33):
show where you're giving away prize at the end of
the show like we always do, kidnamed Sean, young guy
won it, and uh he does overnights at the bell
Taco Bell. Oh and newsmer, I said, Man said, I
bet you've seen some crazy shit. He goes, you don't
even know and he starts busting this story. I knew
(00:54):
we had to do our podcast, so I was trying
to go along with it. But uh, and quicken it
up a little bit, he said. He pulled up to
work on time, and did I say what city lives in?
He said, New Summer. No, damn, I don't want to
call him out anyway. So he was at work a
little early, you know, getting right before you go and
you know, getting ready for a shift. And he looks
(01:16):
down in this little like, you know, like a drainage ditch,
and he sees a lady down there.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Wow, hey, ma'am, can I help you?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Can help you? And all of a sudden, she you know,
made some weird comments. It was some crackhead. She put
a chicken box on top of her head and go.
And he's like, man, and he I guess it really
can't help her. And then he said, then she got
out and just started beating the ground, and he's like,
I'm out of here, dude. Dude, fast food and convenience.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Stores attract, that is where.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And I learned the convenience store one firsthand. You gotta
be on your toes, it is and that that's why
you notice now. And I'm being straight up here. Back
before we got fired, years ago, we would bust jokes
all the time about convenience store workers and stuff. And
(02:12):
you in particular, always got annoyed with the woman behind
the counter with the nails that were so long that
they couldn't even you know, ring something up. Yeah, and
then you know they're handling your your food and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But anyway, that was at a gas station.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It stays out in my head for life.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
My point being, I have a whole new, different perspective
on that particular gig working in a convenience store and
a lot of times you end up being the only
person on duty.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And I respect the hell out of people working in
that business.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And you see a lot of crazy stuff. I mean,
every day brings something. Rarely, rarely did I go through
a shift, which I did for a couple of years.
I did this when we got let go. It was
right when the market crashed. The job market was terrible,
the stock market crashed, and I needed to do something
(03:10):
a to get insurance from my family and keep us
under a roof, and I stumbled into a management trainee opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Was I planning on going back into retail. No?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Was I planning on going back into retail in a
convenience store which I had never worked in. Hell No,
But I did it. I went through it, and for
that I came out on the other side, not only
with a whole ton of stories to tell, but as
I get into a different perspective. So I definitely cut
some slack these days. But you can say the same
thing I think about fast food because that you got
(03:47):
all sorts of people all day and at all hours
coming through, and crazy stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You're doing the overnight in a fast food place. Yeah,
plus you're getting ineviated people in there all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I will admit, over those two years at the K,
I never did see anyone put a chicken box on
their their head, though I pregnant woman locked herself in
the bathroom doing cocaine. Yes, yeah, chicken box on the head?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
No? Yeah? The uh what's that phrase? What? And I
used to hate this phrase, but what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger. I think that's a perfect phrase for
what we went through losing our jobs.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And that sound like, oh, we had it so tough,
and we had this in that the other.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is not a hard job. It's not.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We never claimed this to be a hard job. But
you don't realize how good you do have it until
you don't have it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, and it's totally true. It's a hard job to
land back in because they make you sit out a
non compete and shit, remember they said, oh you can't
work for two hours? We had jobs lined up? Hey
two hours or two years? Sorry? On a total side note,
how's the lighting on the camera? How's the lighting look
(04:58):
pretty good? Okay? It's like to make sure.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Up on Facebook Lives, a lot of the regulars checking
in this morning. How y'all doing? Thanks for joining us
live here for this. If you're listening after the fact,
thanks for finding us. And if you're watching on the
YouTube channel, welcome. Yeah, we got a lot of stuff
that's been stockpiled here, so feel free to go back
and check that out when you have.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Time and before somebody texts in or dms. That's with it.
Why would you guys get fired? We're not allowed to
talk about that. We had to sign a non disclosure agreement,
but it will be talked about one day and you're
still playing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I do I think we have more than enough material
to collectively write a I don't want to say a
tell all, but maybe just a story about the last
Well it'll be thirty years next June.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, thirty years. That's crazy that we've dealt with each other.
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No, no, it is it's a relationship. And you know
any relationship has its ups, it has its downs, and
you know each other inside and out. And we've seen
some wild stuff and we've only scratched the surface as
to a lot of that stuff that we've talked about
because some of it we just can't talk about on
the air, but will one day.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But that's my that's my worry is if we put
out a book and we're not on the air, it's
really not the easiest thing to promote.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got the internet, man, Yeah, we've got the Internet
that no one can take that away from you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, and your daughter knows all the ins and outs
of you know, pushing it certain ways. Oh yeah, she's
she's she's helped us out tremendously. There. So my name.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, one day, one day, there'll be some some good
stuff in that that department coming your way that I'm
sure you'll you'll enjoy hearing about it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There you go. So I didn't tell you this, and
I figured I'd just tell you off the air on
the podcast My Life Got a New Car?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Wait, wait, hold, Remember we were having cars and your
car issues. You were complaining loudly and rightfully so about
a preponderance of things that happened one after another. They
were all of our cars racked up thousands and thousands
of dollars in repairs and or tire purchases, or a
conglomeration of the So wait, I thought you just spent
(07:11):
a bunch of money to.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Fix her car. Yeah, I did. And then subsequently, was
this the public's paint job car?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, we still have that.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You still have the public's four hundred dollars Saturday night
special paint job the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, my wife got a parking paint job in a
public's parking lot at dusk on a Saturday night. Yeah,
and paid the guy like what did I say, Like
like four hundred bucks, totally legit. And I had a
full on body He's rolling his eyes. I had a
full on body shop. That gave me a quote for
(07:44):
like seven ninety that these guys kick ass if you
ever looking for a body shop, by the way, But
and she did that on me. It just don't make
rest anyway. So you still have that car? What car
did she get rid of? That's that's gonna go to
my daughter, the white one, that public's paint parking lot
paint jobs special. One of the other cars traded in
(08:08):
on this and uh, we got a Mazda, a Masda,
yeah kind of Mazda. Well, remember I used to enduce
Mazda years ago, and it's uh, this is us a
sport Mazda north over here, a bunch of a bunch
of all the guys in there listen, by the way.
But I went with the uh, or she went, I
(08:30):
should say, with the c X thirty and uh, because
if you remember when I endorsed Mazda, I drove one
for a long time. And when my wife said, we
were looking at different car dealers, and when she said,
I think I'm leaning towards a Mazda, I said, okay,
but you liked your Hyundai. That could be an easy
she said, I just I did a lot of research
(08:51):
and I'm buying it. So I'm going with the Masa.
I said, good, I drove one for several years. Great car, great,
you know, like safety features and all that. But then
you might think, how did how did we? How were
we able to buy a car? Because I've spent so
much on the other cars, and truly I have. I
mean that's why I so.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I tossed her a little bit. She put in a
certain amount and then my mother in law stroked her
check for twenty five k. Yeah, yeah, how about you
bought it out right? Yeah, that's a that's gonna be
a good feeling. Well especially the damn the thing is is,
you know, the public's parking lot paint job. One, you
(09:37):
have to pay the twenty five k back. No, listen,
the public's parking lot paint job. That car I had
just paid off two weeks ago was my last payment.
When we when we're gonna have to get a new car,
and I'm like, I just can't win for losing. I
made it all this way without our car payment because
I told you about it. I was like, yeah, no
car payment. But so yeah, my you know, family stuff.
(10:02):
But my mother in law, uh got her a car
because she gave my brother in law a car without
going too deep enough. Good for you guys, Yeah, like
I said, it's a good problem. Now, I said, what
are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
And now that they redid the.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Road, redid the road? Yeah road, I keep telling you
how they retard my roadles or something not a proper
word for it. But no, okay, you asked, so.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So with the new I hope you all are hanging
on every word like I am here with their.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
New road and the new car.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
At least the new car is driving on a new
road instead of a shitty.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Old road that might have a little pothole in here
or there.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Now she's great now as long as she doesn't drive
out of your neighborhood. Now, just do laps around the
newly paved neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh remember I told you before that they only half
my neighborhood is winter part half is Maitland. The winter
park side retard their road, and so half our neighborhood was.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Black top and the other half was just the you know, asphalt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So you were slumming it on the asphalt sadly. Yeah,
And actually I have a neighbor rag on me and say,
see that we have a brand new road. How is
yours doing? I'm like over on the other side of
the asphalt exactly. It was like the railroad tracks like
and said whatever, you winter park snobs. And then turns
(11:33):
out these guys did it, and it's unincorporated, seminole Maitland.
They redid the road and we're gonna have a traffic line.
The winter park.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Side doesn't how that taste?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Can't wait to see that lady again.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Little victory for Taco Bob this week in the Off
the Air podcast, Congratulations on all fronts there.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And mad props to unincorporated Seminole County.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
How quick they did. I've never seen anybody get a
road up, and I'm talking they went an inch and
a half two inches deep to get all that out
graded and laid on a new road in twenty four
hours or less.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You know, I know a bunch of those guys listened too,
because they I live in unincorporated Seminal County as well.
In a few years ago, they were fixing the water
the culverts in the neighborhood. There were some that just
well they weren't leveled correctly. They were a culvert and
they were backed up. So they came in they were
(12:31):
fixing all that stuff, and I got to bs and
when they were doing the one out in front of
our house, and you sound familiar.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Batlych Yeah, They're like yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's like and the dude's are like, yeah, we're listening
every day, So you know, definitely shout out to a
Seminal County that all right there you go, all right, dude,
I know we brought this up earlier today, but this
whole red zone shit has got me pissed off.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm sorry, I am I'm not happy.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Football season starts tonight in the pros first game, Cowboys
and the Eagles, and you got tomorrow night, a Friday
night game from Brazil, which is your Chiefs playing the Chargers,
and then Sunday we get into the brunt of week
one and.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
After you have your Saturday football yeah from college.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Best goddamn time of the year, best hangover you'll ever
have too. But anyway, you know, those of us who
are hardcore NFL fans, a lot of us, you can't
get enough, so you take advantage. It cost a pretty
penny to get, you know, NFL Sunday ticket. If you
want to layer on the red zone channel, that costs
even more. But you know, to me, I did the
(13:43):
math of paying for that versus paying for actual tickets
and going to a game, and the math really works out.
If you and a guest are going to a game,
you're gonna pay more go into one game than you
would for an entire season of what I just described.
That said, you're still paying for it. You're paying for
something you expect to get. And with red zone in particular,
(14:06):
you don't have to justify seven hours of commercial free
football start now, the famous words from longtime Red Zone
host Scott Hansen that has now been modified to seven
hours of football start now, and they cover the early
and late window whip around coverage, all the games going
on in the NFL on Sunday afternoons.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, when you are justifying your having the NFL pack
or the Sunday ticket and Red Zone and all that,
just think about just going to a bar with your
buddies two times that pays for your red zone.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, so you have to You got to justify it
unless you have gobs of money and it's just not
a concern. You have to do the justification in your
head at least, and pretty I had it done in
my head too, so I can always justify to the
wife if she ever asked about But she doesn't because
she totally understands.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Hey, that's your one thing you love is sports. It
is so anyway with the red zone, though for me,
I don't know if I'm going to get it now.
Just as a hey, f.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You guys, the update if you hadn't heard, in which
we talked about a few weeks ago, ESPN is acquiring
NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. The Red Zone is
a special in season only channel that is only active
on Sunday afternoons between one and eight o'clock on Sundays
during the one o'clock and four o'clock games, and they
(15:31):
do whip around live coverage. You don't miss any touchdowns
or scoring, and it's commercial free. And it was I
should say the best, And I told you, I said,
as soon as the news broke that ESPN is acquiring
this and going to be running this even though the
NFL still technically is going to be operating it. Commercials
(15:51):
are coming, and I thought it would be next season
because this deal hasn't been approved much less closed yet.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It has to pass.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know, so you know, regulatory standards and get approval,
and it ultimately probably will. So I thought, oh, so
nothing will change for this season, and then we find
out yesterday yep.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was watching Pat McAfee and the way that the
as you called it, sugar coate of that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
ESPN kind of sugarcoated, and you know, tiptoed into dropping
the bomb.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I put it for the record, and you already most
people already I love Pat McAfee and his show. I
think what he does is very he's good at what
he does. He's an entertainer. But when I saw and
he's just doing his job because he works for ESPN
as well, when he's like, hey, and we're gonna get
to go behind the scenes with what's his name, Scott Hanson, who,
(16:43):
by the way, yes, is the brother of the How
to Catch Predator Hanson. I did a little research on that.
But anyway, when I watched him go on and then
watched this thing, I said, oh my god, I think
they're getting ready to drop the bomb on us, that
there's gonna be commercials and boom, sure, shit, there it is.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Come on, so now the question and hey, I call
McAfee out a little bit here too. Usually he's the
one who.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Calls it the way it is. He couldn't it's his company.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
But he still goes against them and some stuff. That's
what I'm pointing out. If he had the balls for that,
he has balls, he will not take that away from
But if you really had balls and didn't give an
f like that's how he comes across. He should have said, look,
this is BS. They should have just left that be
it's something that people pay extra for with the and
(17:37):
that's what that's what pisses me off because I know
some folks are gonna go well with Sunday ticket. You
get commercials during allers. You know that going in. It's
it's just the feeds from the out of market games
and you get the whole deal. It's the game and
the commercials that go with it. You know that going in,
and you're okay with it. But the red zone, which
most folks you have this system. If you have that combination,
(18:00):
you're watching whatever game you're focused on. The second they
go to commercial boom, you're over the red zone, so
you don't have to watch any commercials.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Now back to McAfee where you said he should have
called him out because that's normally what he does. I'd
pretty much guarantee that they had a meeting beforehand. They
had to and said, hey, you're not going to shit
on this deal. We need you to be a company
man and help with this. They may I don't know
if they paid him a little extra to get him
(18:26):
not to question it, because you're right. When I saw that,
I thought, this is not like McAfee. Just I understand, Hey,
it's all about selling the product, and he was being
asked to help, probably, but I figured he'd call it
out to you. Now you keep in mind, I mean,
think about our jobs, though. Would you if the company's
(18:47):
asking you to do something, what do we say, clown
clown suits? Yeah, will do anything. We'll put on clown suits. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, we want you to put on clownsuits.
We clown suited.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
But this is I think this is something different if
it wasn't for the fact that this was sold and
has been sold for god knows how many years at
this point as a premium paid subscription product, with the
expectation you're going to get NonStop whip around coverage with
no commercials. I'd be all right with it if it
was sold to something else upfront, and I knew that
going in. But now of a sudden, it's the bait
(19:20):
and switch deal here, right after you've already subscribed to
it for the season.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Well, I hadn't subscribed yet, And maybe that's what they
were going for, is the people that haven't subscribed yet. Hey,
they're telling me ahead of time that there's going to
be commercial So now we're being told a lot of
folks are going, well, how many commercials are they gonna
screw around with? We're now told we found.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
This out earlier to thirty second full on cutaway from
the coverage for full screen and audio commercials to thirty
second per hour for that, and then they're gonna frame
out like they do during NASCAR and golf and stuff
like that, and run even more commercials in the other
quarter hours. So you're gonna have commercials going all hour long,
(20:00):
every hour for.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Seven hours of commercial field football. Okay, Now, for the record,
we don't know that that is locked in, and that's
what they're doing is two minutes pull away to thirty
second to thirty second pull We don't know that as fact.
That's what we are hearing that pretty good source. I
just want to be on the record, it's not fact.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ten seconds is too much, I know if and you
know I'm not gonna sugarcoat this.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm not either. I told you I might not even
get red zone.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I know it just it just I'm sorry, this really,
this one just really I'm at shop fee level pissed
off and.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
This are you at drop fee? Huh? Past shop fee
is drop fee? Where you drop them again? Drop them? No?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Of course not, because this is where they've got us.
I know, guys like me and me and you. Football
is a drug. It is a drug. It is an addiction.
And you put up with an awful lot of ship
and hoops to dump jump through to find and watch
the game of your choice, and you can't get.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Enough and ship. I was told by my wife, hey,
you need you and I need to spend more time together,
like you need to tighten it up or we're gonna
have to do some talking. And part of that was
last year football the whole time going over to the
dude's out, you know, buddy's house, drinking, you know that.
That that's see, that's that's where we diverged. You're still
(21:27):
doing it. I'm at home. I'm at home. My home
is My home is uh five houses from my buddy,
Club Drews.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Which Club Drews is wall to wall party time. And
your wife's not there.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, she's not. She comes over, but she doesn't like
it over there. Right, That's that's what that's where it diverges. Yeah,
I've heard from her too, so, but with red zone
on my side, the one of the reasons why I
have to get it is fantasy football. You just you
want to get that's it's beautiful for fantasy football. Did
(22:07):
you know the backstory since we have it, since it's
the podcast, we can go a little longer. Did you
know the backstory on red Zone and how that came about,
how Sunday Ticket or red zone red Zone? No, what
they gave. The cool thing that McAfee and them did
as it was being sugarcoat that they're going to f
(22:28):
us with charging for red Zone is they did a
tour of the actual red Zone studio, the.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Production where they're coordinating all the cut from this to
that to.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That and what goes on and how he does it.
And he's got his two guys up here who are
the stat guys. So that was cool to see the
behind the scenes props for that. And then but then
the guy went on to say how he did it.
Hansen said, he just happened to be. He was, like,
you know, a commentator or whatever. He was on radio
row or media row this game and he's watching let's
(23:02):
say Penn State. I don't even remember who the game was,
but he's watching a game and at the field of
media row and they're they're talking. But at the same time,
he has a laptop open and his phone and he's
checking other games like all of us do, right, Yeah,
And he said to one of the commentators, they said,
(23:24):
holy shit, you see that play and he's like, yeah,
but the Titans just put you know, seven on the
board and there's one. And he goes, oh, now, Tennessee discord.
And he's calling all these other games while these people
are doing that, and it hit him he could do that.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So the red zone, and that's exactly what he does.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He's got all the games when they go to the
red zone, they are on their feature.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Got to give him props to I want you to
think about this. I don't know how he does, even
if you're a totally vested football fan, one man looking
at the camera for at least seven hours, sometimes longer
in those games that run over, and just going NonStop
from game to game to game to game to game
(24:13):
and in real time to do that, as you said,
he's got his stack guys there probably feeding him stuff
in the ear. Yes, but stuff happens fast and unexpectedly,
and you've got to be able to, you know, turn
on a dime there and to keep that up for
seven plus hours every Sunday as a one man show
without really anybody to sound board off of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
That's incredible and not. The guy has the energy of everything.
He's total energetical. Maybe he is happy to have some
commercials coming back. That's just what I was going to
tell you, because they automatically went to what I would,
which is no bathroom break, no rong. I want to
stop you there. Did they talk about this? What did
they talk about this? Dude?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I suspect I just want to guess at this. I
want to guess at this. When you watch Red Zone,
traditionally watch Red Zone, Hanson will be on there kind
of guiding you through everything, and they'll cut to a
game and sometimes they'll just leave it on the game
there for you know, whatever play is happening, and then
come back to him in the studio. I'll direct you
to where you're going next and whatever. As the day
wear is on, you get into stretches where it's just
(25:14):
bouncing from game to game without him interjecting, and I'm going,
he's got to.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Be in the bathroom. Nope, He's had to have had
to drop a deuce at some point during those seven hours.
He's so scheduled and that's just how he's wired. He said.
He gets there at five in the morning, eats his
breakfast on the little podium that you see at the
very beginning, eats his breakfast there, starts looking through stats
and this and that and the other, and probably goes
(25:39):
to the bathroom right before. But they even brought the
camera back behind the thing and they're like those tube
that looks like a pe tube to me. And he goes, guys,
I don't go to the bathroom during the show. Wow,
because I promise you. I don't know how that's possible.
Because he's got to drink water to keep the voice going.
He doesn't go, well, I mean, at least now, yes,
(26:01):
with the commercials, he'll have one solid minute. If if
they're both what we think, which is two thirty second spots,
then he'll he'll have time to run. I just squeeze
off a piss that quick. Oh, I squeeze off ship
that click. But I too Oh, I know, I know,
you all know, we all know, but uh yeah. It
(26:22):
was really it was cool to find that the backstory
because he never thought about it. Did you like, how
did this guy come about with this? So? Who did
he pitch it to.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I guess, I guess he pitched it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Maybe ESPN the NFL is the one who on the
NFL whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You know, he signed his deal. I think it was
back in May.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Maybe. Yeah, he just got a new four year.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Deal Without him.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
They they couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You know they did. There used to be two red
zone channels. Point that out if you had back in
the day when it Direct TV was the only place
you could get Sunday Ticket, they had their Red Zone
with that. Andrew Siciliano was the host. It was a
completely separate production. A lot of people liked him, but uh,
and I had I've had ticket for years and all
(27:07):
the way back to the Direct TV days, so I
used to watch the direct TV produced one. So when
that went away and I went over to YouTube and
Hansen was new to me. Oh he just take a
second to get used to this guy's style. I don't
know if I liked this or not. By the end
of the first show, I was like, this guy's got
it dialed in. Oh my god, he's got it dialed in.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
He props to him and his energy, Like I said,
that energy level is through the roof. That's how he's
able to pull that off, Pat and that's how he
can focus on not going to the bathroom. I guess.
And somebody said, Taco, you're gonna make it question Mark.
I don't know what they're talking about. But good morning
to everybody there, Kevin Joe. Most wonderful time of the
(27:47):
year from fellow football baby.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
All right, with that, let's get ready for some football
season kicking off tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Some times that game.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Tonight, I believe it's eight o'clock. That sucks, Dick, Come on, man,
give it to We're hungry. It's the first game of
the season. I don't care about West Coast. Give it
to us at seven for morning guys, come on and
morning gals. I'm really not selling this too well. There
is no businessman Bob in this broach. Is there? No shoot?
(28:18):
Thank you? And again if McAfee gets gets w into
this through somebody, remember we're both fans, but you're you built.
You built a friggin empire. All the dudes on your
show are funny. At shit, you're funny, and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But call it for what it is, man, and that
you know the people like us and fans everywhere or
who've been used to red zone.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
What it is.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Are pissed off. And I know change is hard, I
know all that crap, But I'm just telling you what
sets us apart is the element that you are paying
extra for this with the expectation of what we've been
getting all along. Now now now it's a different deal.
It's a different deal. Now, let's see if they raise
the price next year. On top of all this, how
(28:58):
much is it actually ten bucks a month? Which is
that's not gonna kill you, but it's still money you're
spending that you otherwise want enough.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh killed me when I couldn't cancel it for almost
two years. Remember I was, I was paying reds and
I showed Paddick, said come over here and try to
cancel it, and we couldn't cancel it. So I was
getting the sports package. I was killing Billiard's channel. Yeah,
women's whatever, what this is pre katelem Clark, I'm out
watching some women's basketball or.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right again, thank you for checking out the Off
the Air podcast. And at this point, as football season starts,
whatever team you root for, I wish the best for you.
I just read a piece this morning. The Miami Dolphins
are ranked the twenty ninth worst team in the league
and it was only thirty two teams and.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
He told me this, I honestly was not surprised. And
the Jags are twenty eight. Oh who's the lucky twenty
or thirty two?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Uh uh uh Saints, Saints, Saints. Then it was the
Browns and the Dolphins, of the Giants and the Jags.
So anyway, my thought, best of luck to your team,
may they overperform.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
For expectations, And can you say best of luck to
my fantasy team.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I can't lose again this year, dude, we'll do this again.
It's like a five dinner I had to buy.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Stop drafting Jackson dart is your quarterback? Quit? Good god man,
All right, it is time for another episode of Off
the Air, the weekly podcast from the Lynching Taco Show.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here at one O one one w j r.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
R in Orlando. I Pat Lynch, Talkobob, What are you
staring at over there?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I was looking at my little notes on my special
phone that I have special phone. Yes, yes, And the
notes are for on and off the air. It's different
things to bring up during on the air and off
the air. You know, the listener is just talking to
Sean who just won on our show that was on
the air. God, that's so confusing. Anyway, on a regular
(00:33):
show where you're giving away prize at the end of
the show like we always do, kidnamed Sean, young guy
won it, and uh he does overnights at the bell
Taco Bell. Oh and newsmer, I said, Man said, I
bet you've seen some crazy shit. He goes, you don't
even know and he starts busting this story. I knew
(00:54):
we had to do our podcast, so I was trying
to go along with it. But uh, and quicken it
up a little bit, he said. He pulled up to
work on time, and did I say what city lives in?
He said, New Summer. No, damn, I don't want to
call him out anyway. So he was at work a
little early, you know, getting right before you go and
you know, getting ready for a shift. And he looks
(01:16):
down in this little like, you know, like a drainage ditch,
and he sees a lady down there.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Wow, hey, ma'am, can I help you?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Can help you? And all of a sudden, she you know,
made some weird comments. It was some crackhead. She put
a chicken box on top of her head and go.
And he's like, man, and he I guess it really
can't help her. And then he said, then she got
out and just started beating the ground, and he's like,
I'm out of here, dude. Dude, fast food and convenience.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Stores attract, that is where.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
And I learned the convenience store one firsthand. You gotta
be on your toes, it is and that that's why
you notice now. And I'm being straight up here. Back
before we got fired, years ago, we would bust jokes
all the time about convenience store workers and stuff. And
(02:12):
you in particular, always got annoyed with the woman behind
the counter with the nails that were so long that
they couldn't even you know, ring something up. Yeah, and
then you know they're handling your your food and stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But anyway, that was at a gas station.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It stays out in my head for life.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
My point being, I have a whole new, different perspective
on that particular gig working in a convenience store and
a lot of times you end up being the only
person on duty.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And I respect the hell out of people working in
that business.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
And you see a lot of crazy stuff. I mean,
every day brings something. Rarely, rarely did I go through
a shift, which I did for a couple of years.
I did this when we got let go. It was
right when the market crashed. The job market was terrible,
the stock market crashed, and I needed to do something
(03:10):
a to get insurance from my family and keep us
under a roof, and I stumbled into a management trainee opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Was I planning on going back into retail. No?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Was I planning on going back into retail in a
convenience store which I had never worked in. Hell No,
But I did it. I went through it, and for
that I came out on the other side, not only
with a whole ton of stories to tell, but as
I get into a different perspective. So I definitely cut
some slack these days. But you can say the same
thing I think about fast food because that you got
(03:47):
all sorts of people all day and at all hours
coming through, and crazy stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You're doing the overnight in a fast food place. Yeah,
plus you're getting ineviated people in there all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I will admit, over those two years at the K,
I never did see anyone put a chicken box on
their their head, though I pregnant woman locked herself in
the bathroom doing cocaine. Yes, yeah, chicken box on the head?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
No? Yeah? The uh what's that phrase? What? And I
used to hate this phrase, but what doesn't kill you
makes you stronger. I think that's a perfect phrase for
what we went through losing our jobs.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
And that sound like, oh, we had it so tough,
and we had this in that the other.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is not a hard job. It's not.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We never claimed this to be a hard job. But
you don't realize how good you do have it until
you don't have it.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, and it's totally true. It's a hard job to
land back in because they make you sit out a
non compete and shit, remember they said, oh you can't
work for two hours? We had jobs lined up? Hey
two hours or two years? Sorry? On a total side note,
how's the lighting on the camera? How's the lighting look
(04:58):
pretty good? Okay? It's like to make sure.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Up on Facebook Lives, a lot of the regulars checking
in this morning. How y'all doing? Thanks for joining us
live here for this. If you're listening after the fact,
thanks for finding us. And if you're watching on the
YouTube channel, welcome. Yeah, we got a lot of stuff
that's been stockpiled here, so feel free to go back
and check that out when you have.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Time and before somebody texts in or dms. That's with it.
Why would you guys get fired? We're not allowed to
talk about that. We had to sign a non disclosure agreement,
but it will be talked about one day and you're
still playing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I do I think we have more than enough material
to collectively write a I don't want to say a
tell all, but maybe just a story about the last
Well it'll be thirty years next June.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, thirty years. That's crazy that we've dealt with each other.
What do you mean by that?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
No, no, it is it's a relationship. And you know
any relationship has its ups, it has its downs, and
you know each other inside and out. And we've seen
some wild stuff and we've only scratched the surface as
to a lot of that stuff that we've talked about
because some of it we just can't talk about on
the air, but will one day.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But that's my that's my worry is if we put
out a book and we're not on the air, it's
really not the easiest thing to promote.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
You got the internet, man, Yeah, we've got the Internet
that no one can take that away from you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, and your daughter knows all the ins and outs
of you know, pushing it certain ways. Oh yeah, she's
she's she's helped us out tremendously. There. So my name.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yeah, one day, one day, there'll be some some good
stuff in that that department coming your way that I'm
sure you'll you'll enjoy hearing about it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
There you go. So I didn't tell you this, and
I figured I'd just tell you off the air on
the podcast My Life Got a New Car?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Wait, wait, hold, Remember we were having cars and your
car issues. You were complaining loudly and rightfully so about
a preponderance of things that happened one after another. They
were all of our cars racked up thousands and thousands
of dollars in repairs and or tire purchases, or a
conglomeration of the So wait, I thought you just spent
(07:11):
a bunch of money to.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Fix her car. Yeah, I did. And then subsequently, was
this the public's paint job car?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, we still have that.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
You still have the public's four hundred dollars Saturday night
special paint job the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, my wife got a parking paint job in a
public's parking lot at dusk on a Saturday night. Yeah,
and paid the guy like what did I say, Like
like four hundred bucks, totally legit. And I had a
full on body He's rolling his eyes. I had a
full on body shop. That gave me a quote for
(07:44):
like seven ninety that these guys kick ass if you
ever looking for a body shop, by the way, But
and she did that on me. It just don't make
rest anyway. So you still have that car? What car
did she get rid of? That's that's gonna go to
my daughter, the white one, that public's paint parking lot
paint jobs special. One of the other cars traded in
(08:08):
on this and uh, we got a Mazda, a Masda,
yeah kind of Mazda. Well, remember I used to enduce
Mazda years ago, and it's uh, this is us a
sport Mazda north over here, a bunch of a bunch
of all the guys in there listen, by the way.
But I went with the uh, or she went, I
(08:30):
should say, with the c X thirty and uh, because
if you remember when I endorsed Mazda, I drove one
for a long time. And when my wife said, we
were looking at different car dealers, and when she said,
I think I'm leaning towards a Mazda, I said, okay,
but you liked your Hyundai. That could be an easy
she said, I just I did a lot of research
(08:51):
and I'm buying it. So I'm going with the Masa.
I said, good, I drove one for several years. Great car, great,
you know, like safety features and all that. But then
you might think, how did how did we? How were
we able to buy a car? Because I've spent so
much on the other cars, and truly I have. I
mean that's why I so.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I tossed her a little bit. She put in a
certain amount and then my mother in law stroked her
check for twenty five k. Yeah, yeah, how about you
bought it out right? Yeah, that's a that's gonna be
a good feeling. Well especially the damn the thing is is,
you know, the public's parking lot paint job. One, you
(09:37):
have to pay the twenty five k back. No, listen,
the public's parking lot paint job. That car I had
just paid off two weeks ago was my last payment.
When we when we're gonna have to get a new car,
and I'm like, I just can't win for losing. I
made it all this way without our car payment because
I told you about it. I was like, yeah, no
car payment. But so yeah, my you know, family stuff.
(10:02):
But my mother in law, uh got her a car
because she gave my brother in law a car without
going too deep enough. Good for you guys, Yeah, like
I said, it's a good problem. Now, I said, what
are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
And now that they redid the.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Road, redid the road? Yeah road, I keep telling you
how they retard my roadles or something not a proper
word for it. But no, okay, you asked, so.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So with the new I hope you all are hanging
on every word like I am here with their.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
New road and the new car.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
At least the new car is driving on a new
road instead of a shitty.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Old road that might have a little pothole in here
or there.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Now she's great now as long as she doesn't drive
out of your neighborhood. Now, just do laps around the
newly paved neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Oh remember I told you before that they only half
my neighborhood is winter part half is Maitland. The winter
park side retard their road, and so half our neighborhood was.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Black top and the other half was just the you know, asphalt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So you were slumming it on the asphalt sadly. Yeah,
And actually I have a neighbor rag on me and say,
see that we have a brand new road. How is
yours doing? I'm like over on the other side of
the asphalt exactly. It was like the railroad tracks like
and said whatever, you winter park snobs. And then turns
(11:33):
out these guys did it, and it's unincorporated, seminole Maitland.
They redid the road and we're gonna have a traffic line.
The winter park.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Side doesn't how that taste?
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Can't wait to see that lady again.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Little victory for Taco Bob this week in the Off
the Air podcast, Congratulations on all fronts there.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And mad props to unincorporated Seminole County.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
How quick they did. I've never seen anybody get a
road up, and I'm talking they went an inch and
a half two inches deep to get all that out
graded and laid on a new road in twenty four
hours or less.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
You know, I know a bunch of those guys listened too,
because they I live in unincorporated Seminal County as well.
In a few years ago, they were fixing the water
the culverts in the neighborhood. There were some that just
well they weren't leveled correctly. They were a culvert and
they were backed up. So they came in they were
(12:31):
fixing all that stuff, and I got to bs and
when they were doing the one out in front of
our house, and you sound familiar.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Batlych Yeah, They're like yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's like and the dude's are like, yeah, we're listening
every day, So you know, definitely shout out to a
Seminal County that all right there you go, all right, dude,
I know we brought this up earlier today, but this
whole red zone shit has got me pissed off.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I'm sorry, I am I'm not happy.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Football season starts tonight in the pros first game, Cowboys
and the Eagles, and you got tomorrow night, a Friday
night game from Brazil, which is your Chiefs playing the Chargers,
and then Sunday we get into the brunt of week
one and.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
After you have your Saturday football yeah from college.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Best goddamn time of the year, best hangover you'll ever
have too. But anyway, you know, those of us who
are hardcore NFL fans, a lot of us, you can't
get enough, so you take advantage. It cost a pretty
penny to get, you know, NFL Sunday ticket. If you
want to layer on the red zone channel, that costs
even more. But you know, to me, I did the
(13:43):
math of paying for that versus paying for actual tickets
and going to a game, and the math really works out.
If you and a guest are going to a game,
you're gonna pay more go into one game than you
would for an entire season of what I just described.
That said, you're still paying for it. You're paying for
something you expect to get. And with red zone in particular,
(14:06):
you don't have to justify seven hours of commercial free
football start now, the famous words from longtime Red Zone
host Scott Hansen that has now been modified to seven
hours of football start now, and they cover the early
and late window whip around coverage, all the games going
on in the NFL on Sunday afternoons.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, when you are justifying your having the NFL pack
or the Sunday ticket and Red Zone and all that,
just think about just going to a bar with your
buddies two times that pays for your red zone.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah, so you have to You got to justify it
unless you have gobs of money and it's just not
a concern. You have to do the justification in your
head at least, and pretty I had it done in
my head too, so I can always justify to the
wife if she ever asked about But she doesn't because
she totally understands.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Hey, that's your one thing you love is sports. It
is so anyway with the red zone, though for me,
I don't know if I'm going to get it now.
Just as a hey, f.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
You guys, the update if you hadn't heard, in which
we talked about a few weeks ago, ESPN is acquiring
NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. The Red Zone is
a special in season only channel that is only active
on Sunday afternoons between one and eight o'clock on Sundays
during the one o'clock and four o'clock games, and they
(15:31):
do whip around live coverage. You don't miss any touchdowns
or scoring, and it's commercial free. And it was I
should say the best, And I told you, I said,
as soon as the news broke that ESPN is acquiring
this and going to be running this even though the
NFL still technically is going to be operating it. Commercials
(15:51):
are coming, and I thought it would be next season
because this deal hasn't been approved much less closed yet.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It has to pass.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You know, so you know, regulatory standards and get approval,
and it ultimately probably will. So I thought, oh, so
nothing will change for this season, and then we find
out yesterday yep.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was watching Pat McAfee and the way that the
as you called it, sugar coate of that.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
ESPN kind of sugarcoated, and you know, tiptoed into dropping
the bomb.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I put it for the record, and you already most
people already I love Pat McAfee and his show. I
think what he does is very he's good at what
he does. He's an entertainer. But when I saw and
he's just doing his job because he works for ESPN
as well, when he's like, hey, and we're gonna get
to go behind the scenes with what's his name, Scott Hanson, who,
(16:43):
by the way, yes, is the brother of the How
to Catch Predator Hanson. I did a little research on that.
But anyway, when I watched him go on and then
watched this thing, I said, oh my god, I think
they're getting ready to drop the bomb on us, that
there's gonna be commercials and boom, sure, shit, there it is.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Come on, so now the question and hey, I call
McAfee out a little bit here too. Usually he's the
one who.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Calls it the way it is. He couldn't it's his company.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
But he still goes against them and some stuff. That's
what I'm pointing out. If he had the balls for that,
he has balls, he will not take that away from
But if you really had balls and didn't give an
f like that's how he comes across. He should have said, look,
this is BS. They should have just left that be
it's something that people pay extra for with the and
(17:37):
that's what that's what pisses me off because I know
some folks are gonna go well with Sunday ticket. You
get commercials during allers. You know that going in. It's
it's just the feeds from the out of market games
and you get the whole deal. It's the game and
the commercials that go with it. You know that going in,
and you're okay with it. But the red zone, which
most folks you have this system. If you have that combination,
(18:00):
you're watching whatever game you're focused on. The second they
go to commercial boom, you're over the red zone, so
you don't have to watch any commercials.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Now back to McAfee where you said he should have
called him out because that's normally what he does. I'd
pretty much guarantee that they had a meeting beforehand. They
had to and said, hey, you're not going to shit
on this deal. We need you to be a company
man and help with this. They may I don't know
if they paid him a little extra to get him
(18:26):
not to question it, because you're right. When I saw that,
I thought, this is not like McAfee. Just I understand, Hey,
it's all about selling the product, and he was being
asked to help, probably, but I figured he'd call it
out to you. Now you keep in mind, I mean,
think about our jobs, though. Would you if the company's
(18:47):
asking you to do something, what do we say, clown
clown suits? Yeah, will do anything. We'll put on clown suits. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, we want you to put on clownsuits.
We clown suited.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
But this is I think this is something different if
it wasn't for the fact that this was sold and
has been sold for god knows how many years at
this point as a premium paid subscription product, with the
expectation you're going to get NonStop whip around coverage with
no commercials. I'd be all right with it if it
was sold to something else upfront, and I knew that
going in. But now of a sudden, it's the bait
(19:20):
and switch deal here, right after you've already subscribed to
it for the season.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Well, I hadn't subscribed yet, And maybe that's what they
were going for, is the people that haven't subscribed yet. Hey,
they're telling me ahead of time that there's going to
be commercial So now we're being told a lot of
folks are going, well, how many commercials are they gonna
screw around with? We're now told we found.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
This out earlier to thirty second full on cutaway from
the coverage for full screen and audio commercials to thirty
second per hour for that, and then they're gonna frame
out like they do during NASCAR and golf and stuff
like that, and run even more commercials in the other
quarter hours. So you're gonna have commercials going all hour long,
(20:00):
every hour for.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Seven hours of commercial field football. Okay, Now, for the record,
we don't know that that is locked in, and that's
what they're doing is two minutes pull away to thirty
second to thirty second pull We don't know that as fact.
That's what we are hearing that pretty good source. I
just want to be on the record, it's not fact.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Ten seconds is too much, I know if and you
know I'm not gonna sugarcoat this.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm not either. I told you I might not even
get red zone.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I know it just it just I'm sorry, this really,
this one just really I'm at shop fee level pissed
off and.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
This are you at drop fee? Huh? Past shop fee
is drop fee? Where you drop them again? Drop them? No?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Of course not, because this is where they've got us.
I know, guys like me and me and you. Football
is a drug. It is a drug. It is an addiction.
And you put up with an awful lot of ship
and hoops to dump jump through to find and watch
the game of your choice, and you can't get.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Enough and ship. I was told by my wife, hey,
you need you and I need to spend more time together,
like you need to tighten it up or we're gonna
have to do some talking. And part of that was
last year football the whole time going over to the
dude's out, you know, buddy's house, drinking, you know that.
That that's see, that's that's where we diverged. You're still
(21:27):
doing it. I'm at home. I'm at home. My home
is My home is uh five houses from my buddy,
Club Drews.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Which Club Drews is wall to wall party time. And
your wife's not there.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, she's not. She comes over, but she doesn't like
it over there. Right, That's that's what that's where it diverges. Yeah,
I've heard from her too, so, but with red zone
on my side, the one of the reasons why I
have to get it is fantasy football. You just you
want to get that's it's beautiful for fantasy football. Did
(22:07):
you know the backstory since we have it, since it's
the podcast, we can go a little longer. Did you
know the backstory on red Zone and how that came about,
how Sunday Ticket or red zone red Zone? No, what
they gave. The cool thing that McAfee and them did
as it was being sugarcoat that they're going to f
(22:28):
us with charging for red Zone is they did a
tour of the actual red Zone studio, the.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Production where they're coordinating all the cut from this to
that to.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That and what goes on and how he does it.
And he's got his two guys up here who are
the stat guys. So that was cool to see the
behind the scenes props for that. And then but then
the guy went on to say how he did it.
Hansen said, he just happened to be. He was, like,
you know, a commentator or whatever. He was on radio
row or media row this game and he's watching let's
(23:02):
say Penn State. I don't even remember who the game was,
but he's watching a game and at the field of
media row and they're they're talking. But at the same time,
he has a laptop open and his phone and he's
checking other games like all of us do, right, Yeah,
And he said to one of the commentators, they said,
(23:24):
holy shit, you see that play and he's like, yeah,
but the Titans just put you know, seven on the
board and there's one. And he goes, oh, now, Tennessee discord.
And he's calling all these other games while these people
are doing that, and it hit him he could do that.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So the red zone, and that's exactly what he does.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He's got all the games when they go to the
red zone, they are on their feature.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Got to give him props to I want you to
think about this. I don't know how he does, even
if you're a totally vested football fan, one man looking
at the camera for at least seven hours, sometimes longer
in those games that run over, and just going NonStop
from game to game to game to game to game
(24:13):
and in real time to do that, as you said,
he's got his stack guys there probably feeding him stuff
in the ear. Yes, but stuff happens fast and unexpectedly,
and you've got to be able to, you know, turn
on a dime there and to keep that up for
seven plus hours every Sunday as a one man show
without really anybody to sound board off of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
That's incredible and not. The guy has the energy of everything.
He's total energetical. Maybe he is happy to have some
commercials coming back. That's just what I was going to
tell you, because they automatically went to what I would,
which is no bathroom break, no rong. I want to
stop you there. Did they talk about this? What did
they talk about this? Dude?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I suspect I just want to guess at this. I
want to guess at this. When you watch Red Zone,
traditionally watch Red Zone, Hanson will be on there kind
of guiding you through everything, and they'll cut to a
game and sometimes they'll just leave it on the game
there for you know, whatever play is happening, and then
come back to him in the studio. I'll direct you
to where you're going next and whatever. As the day
wear is on, you get into stretches where it's just
(25:14):
bouncing from game to game without him interjecting, and I'm going,
he's got to.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Be in the bathroom. Nope, He's had to have had
to drop a deuce at some point during those seven hours.
He's so scheduled and that's just how he's wired. He said.
He gets there at five in the morning, eats his
breakfast on the little podium that you see at the
very beginning, eats his breakfast there, starts looking through stats
and this and that and the other, and probably goes
(25:39):
to the bathroom right before. But they even brought the
camera back behind the thing and they're like those tube
that looks like a pe tube to me. And he goes, guys,
I don't go to the bathroom during the show. Wow,
because I promise you. I don't know how that's possible.
Because he's got to drink water to keep the voice going.
He doesn't go, well, I mean, at least now, yes,
(26:01):
with the commercials, he'll have one solid minute. If if
they're both what we think, which is two thirty second spots,
then he'll he'll have time to run. I just squeeze
off a piss that quick. Oh, I squeeze off ship
that click. But I too Oh, I know, I know,
you all know, we all know, but uh yeah. It
(26:22):
was really it was cool to find that the backstory
because he never thought about it. Did you like, how
did this guy come about with this? So? Who did
he pitch it to.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I guess, I guess he pitched it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Maybe ESPN the NFL is the one who on the
NFL whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
You know, he signed his deal. I think it was
back in May.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Maybe. Yeah, he just got a new four year.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Deal Without him.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
They they couldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You know they did. There used to be two red
zone channels. Point that out if you had back in
the day when it Direct TV was the only place
you could get Sunday Ticket, they had their Red Zone
with that. Andrew Siciliano was the host. It was a
completely separate production. A lot of people liked him, but uh,
and I had I've had ticket for years and all
(27:07):
the way back to the Direct TV days, so I
used to watch the direct TV produced one. So when
that went away and I went over to YouTube and
Hansen was new to me. Oh he just take a
second to get used to this guy's style. I don't
know if I liked this or not. By the end
of the first show, I was like, this guy's got
it dialed in. Oh my god, he's got it dialed in.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
He props to him and his energy, Like I said,
that energy level is through the roof. That's how he's
able to pull that off, Pat and that's how he
can focus on not going to the bathroom. I guess.
And somebody said, Taco, you're gonna make it question Mark.
I don't know what they're talking about. But good morning
to everybody there, Kevin Joe. Most wonderful time of the
(27:47):
year from fellow football baby.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
All right, with that, let's get ready for some football
season kicking off tonight.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Some times that game.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Tonight, I believe it's eight o'clock. That sucks, Dick, Come on, man,
give it to We're hungry. It's the first game of
the season. I don't care about West Coast. Give it
to us at seven for morning guys, come on and
morning gals. I'm really not selling this too well. There
is no businessman Bob in this broach. Is there? No shoot?
(28:18):
Thank you? And again if McAfee gets gets w into
this through somebody, remember we're both fans, but you're you built.
You built a friggin empire. All the dudes on your
show are funny. At shit, you're funny, and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
But call it for what it is, man, and that
you know the people like us and fans everywhere or
who've been used to red zone.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
What it is.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Are pissed off. And I know change is hard, I
know all that crap, But I'm just telling you what
sets us apart is the element that you are paying
extra for this with the expectation of what we've been
getting all along. Now now now it's a different deal.
It's a different deal. Now, let's see if they raise
the price next year. On top of all this, how
(28:58):
much is it actually ten bucks a month? Which is
that's not gonna kill you, but it's still money you're
spending that you otherwise want enough.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Oh killed me when I couldn't cancel it for almost
two years. Remember I was, I was paying reds and
I showed Paddick, said come over here and try to
cancel it, and we couldn't cancel it. So I was
getting the sports package. I was killing Billiard's channel. Yeah,
women's whatever, what this is pre katelem Clark, I'm out
watching some women's basketball or.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
All right again, thank you for checking out the Off
the Air podcast. And at this point, as football season starts,
whatever team you root for, I wish the best for you.
I just read a piece this morning. The Miami Dolphins
are ranked the twenty ninth worst team in the league
and it was only thirty two teams and.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
He told me this, I honestly was not surprised. And
the Jags are twenty eight. Oh who's the lucky twenty
or thirty two?
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Uh uh uh Saints, Saints, Saints. Then it was the
Browns and the Dolphins, of the Giants and the Jags.
So anyway, my thought, best of luck to your team,
may they overperform.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
For expectations, And can you say best of luck to
my fantasy team.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I can't lose again this year, dude, we'll do this again.
It's like a five dinner I had to buy.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Stop drafting Jackson dart is your quarterback? Quit? Good god man,
