kicked off, get it updated. There you go, five six
six nine zeros.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
A text line.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Pat from Monument says his wife says he's got a
perfect face for radio.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
I'm told I have a perfect voice for newspapers.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
So that's good man, Keep those coming, those says. The
video for the Talking Heads song we're talking about earlier
is amazing. Home is where I want to be. Picked
me up, Take me home. I'm sixty eight years old,
almost sixty nine. Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
My best friend Bridget passed away three years ago. Sorry
about that. After being in memory care eight years for
early on set dementia.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
We met high school in nineteen seventy and we danced
always from the day we met.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
We loved the whole talking. He had his album with
this song. I played it our Celebration of life. Thanks
so much for playing at Family Music Generations. Yeah, I
love it. And I was telling Sun Zach and a
little bit Nick during the break. There's a cover of
this song.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
It's an orchestral arrangement a guy called Kishi Bashi. That's
Ki Shi b a Sahi. He was one of the
founding members of the band of Montreal.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And they do it.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
He does a string quartet basically remix and it'll if
you love the original version, it'll blow your mind. If
you love, you know, the orchestral sound, it'll blow your mind.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
As far as that.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Zach's out there looking it up to play a little
bit of that. But it got me thinking, what's your
all time favorite cover? I mean, obviously here in Denver
we love Pats of Tan covering oposing.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Receivers, but it goes to music. What's your all time
favorite cover?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
You know, I think most people probably gonna say, like
Hendricks do it All on the watch Tower.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's gotta be up there.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Dude, that's that one is amazing.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's gotta be one of the old timers and that there.
But but I mean, you know, just just asking and
five six six.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Nine zeros in text line, I want to hear what
you guys, give you some good covers of good songs.
I always like to hear a good cover, you know,
and and I think that, uh, there.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Are some out there that are interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
There was one I don't know if you remember the
TV show Battlestar Galactica.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
They did a version of All on the watch Tower.
It had like the sitar, the sort of metal sound
to it. Yeah, it was really used. I don't really
care for the vocalist in there. It sounded the kind
of emo, but like the music musically, I was like, okay,
this is different.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I dig this, this is different. Uh. So that was
a cover I like. I just mentioned that kid.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
That's probably that Kishi Bashi. So he is probably my
favorite cover of a song. Like the way that he
did that.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Well. I don't believe that you the listeners or Zach
is going.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
To expect this one from me, but I'll say this,
Uh did Dixie Chicks did a great cover of the
Stephen Nick song Landslide.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, that's fantastic. That's a fantastic Why didn't think I
would come up with that one? Did you? No? I didn't. People.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm sure there are people that would talk about Johnny
Cash doing hurt.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yes, you know, I think he'd a lot of people
that would, uh that would they would go with that one.
Oh man, I'm trying to think of what the what
are some of the best covers of all time? Man,
who Sold the World by Nirvana? That's got to be
up there. God, And there's so many. I'm just like,
I'm trying to think of trying to think of all that.

(03:33):
A lot of people, there's It amazes me how many
people don't know that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Nothing compares to you. The Shenad O'Connor is the cover
of a Prince song?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yes it was. Yeah, the Prince is the original version
of that.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
And so you know Aretha Aretha doing respects, that's otis
Redding's originally.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
That's right, very true.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
So there's there's Nirvana, Yeah, yeah, then I Sold the
World that's see.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is it the the one that they played kind of
live and that when they used to do the Yeah,
that's that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Cake did a cover of I Will Survive.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
That was interesting. You have to like Cakes in order
to like that song. I like Cake, like to eat
Cake the Bandcake. I like to take Cake back to
the store too. You do out of their Hands, Supicide
good enough. I don't know if it's I don't know
if it counts as a cover, but when the Fuji's.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Uh, like when they clipped killing me softly to put
it in uh the Roberta for that that was really
a remake. That was Renix. That was a cover, Yeah,
just kind of adding a couple of the you know,
the verbal clips.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
So that's that's one. That's one that I would think.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
What now, Darley Parton did Joe Lene?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
And recently, like earlier this year when Beyonce came out
with her kind of pseudo country albums, Everybody's going country now? Yes, exactly,
and uh, she did a cover of that.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
What Darley Pardon? Did you? Did you ever listen to
that one? Right?

Speaker 4 (05:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
I have it in fact, And it's funny because I
don't even think that Dolly Parton's Joelene is my favorite
version of Joelene ray La Montaigne does.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's not Dolly Parton's song.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
It does a different but it's called Joelene, And I think,
to me, that's the better, the better Joelene song there.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
But no, I didn't. I have to listen to that.
I have to do that.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah would have to be in there, I think. Okay,
you know, in the old I'm just trying to go,
I'm trying to think of the old timers. Uh, Manford
Man blinded by the Light. That's a cover because Bruce
Springsteen did it originally, really.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, and his version of it. I don't care, like
I think their version is better. Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
So this is the thing that makes it crazy because
when you asked me the question about covers, there's so
many songs that you hear that you didn't even know
that the covers. Yeah, just like actors who acted movies
and you didn't know they were Canadian.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right, It's right. It's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, Brian said, is what about alien Ant Farm doing
Smooth Criminal?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, I remember that. I liked that one. That's a
good one. Okay.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
So I've had arguments with people about that particular one
on social media where there were conversations words exchange, where
I was told that was better than the original done
by Michael Jackson.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
They both stand alone, but I cannot call it better
than the original version with thank you. They both stand
on their own two legs.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yes, we got a lot of text coming in here
on this Stephen Ray Vaughan covering Hendrick's Little Wing, five
figure Death Punch covering Offsprings Gone Away, Miley.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Cyrus covered Zombie from the Cranberry's. Prince covered Jackie Wilson's Kiss.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
That one was different where Prince did it. Yeah, okay,
so tell me this when someone doesn't cover. I think
the beauty of doing a cover is that you put
your own spin on.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
It and you make it. You actually changed the song,
yea melody? Well Henrix did that doll on the Washington.
He took song, made it, I mean, but he made
it a different song.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yes, he totally recreated. To me, that's the ultimate. You know,
you take a song, yeah it's very popular, right, not
karaoke somebody else went wrong. When you take a popular.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Song and you make it and you cured me to eleven, right,
think eleven?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'm you because like to me, alien An Farms just
took Smooth Criminal and made it. I mean, it's a
rock song, but they're just singing smooth Criminal.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
They didn't make it different really, I mean it was
they highlighted the rock portions of it, you know, but
a lot of that stuff was Eddi van Halen's original
rock work on the on that album anyway, so you know.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
That wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
But but yeah, like Whitney Houston covered Dolly Parton, took
a great song and made it even greater. And then
one of the text people text was just pointed out
as a matter of fact, three eleven cover of the
Cures Love song. That's a good one, uh Clapton, I
shot the sheriff. It's yeah, that's another. That's another good one.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
See.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I didn't know that until a couple of years ago,
because growing up, I just thought that was a Barb
Marley's song.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Right.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And then when you go back and you listen and
you compare contrast those two tracks, and you can you
can see how significantly different those two tracks are. There's
another song I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think
Soft Shelled did a Tainted Loved Love right with I
love I love that song, right, how did you.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Not love Organ Monday? Yes, you know, there's there's been.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Quite a few I think covers over the years that, uh, yeah,
no doubt.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
It's my life. That's a great one.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Uh, there's there's quite a few out there that I
think that I think are great.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
To make it better.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
But somebody pointed out to the Whitney doing uh for
you know, doing Dolly parton song I Will Always Love
You whatever that's that's originally Dolly.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Whitney killed that song. She did, she made her own.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
She okay, by the way, she was probably the best
anthem to like can we talk about Yeah, he can't
sound well?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
And number two was Prince you know in Miami, I'm here,
I'm here for it.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
But when Whitney did I Will Always Love You, she
took it to a whole different level where she was
hitting octaves that you have to be a great singer
with great vocals to be able to.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
At tip that song. There's like two people that can
do that.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
It's like Mariah Carry and Whitney used to that's it,
that's it, and that's like maybe Christina can get up
there and get that high note.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
But that's about it. She don't.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
She doesn't hit it with the with the diaphragm like
Whitney and you know, and uh Mariah did.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Though. That's when you know your boss.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
When you take a very popular song and you flip
it and you make new listeners think that's your song.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
You well, a whole new generation grows up on that.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's that's the definitive version. You go back hit the original.
Mind blowing to me. I like seeing how far a
song has come too. I always thought you to listen
to the original verse like the Otis Redding version of respect,
and then turn around and listen to Aretha do it
and you're like.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
If you can blow him.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
If you were an artist and you were in a band,
would you like to have not had any success at all?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
No hits? Will be a one hit wonder?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Well, I think you want to be a one hit
what you'd rather be known for something than not known
for anything?

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Right? I mean I would think so.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
But I mean you in the world of a one
hit wonder if people are like, oh, you just had
one hit. I got one more hit than most people.
Check still cash. I asked Ryan Edwards that very question
because he was in a band. Obviously, he responded, yes, obviously,
he responded with, you know what, I would take that

(10:49):
one hit, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
And everybody appreciate if you and if everybody only appreciated
one song I ever did, then there you go.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Some kids asked the question, hey, what does your dad
do for a living? He was in a band and
these songs I know, yeah, And then it was like
that's just one song. Yeah, it's just did you day
have any of the songs? I mean, I mean like Ice,
Ice Baby, like Vanilla check still cash, Well, it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Really cash because.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yes, I mean was an he kind of sued for
for ripping off queen or whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
So how much money you actually made being you know that?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
And several one him Waterers got sued, The Verve got
sued for Bittersweet Symphony because part of that was in.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
A Stone song. Part of that that violin arrangement was
in a Stone song. It was a very negligible part.
It was kind of you know, but anyway, they lost
a ton of money on Bittersweet Sympthy for that.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
But there's yeah, it's it's as far as that goes.
I didn't mean to turn this into a music segment,
but it we'll make it one.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm with it, and I think that for me,
you know, if somebody can take.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Someone else's, someone else's lyrics and put that into it
into a whole new arrangement, that still blows your mind.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
You know, that's something that just that just absolutely fascinates me.
It's it's a little bit different, like who is it?

Speaker 2 (11:58):
They did the fast Car and it got well, she
did the original. Somebody did the country country version of Yeah,
somebody did a country version of it recently and brought
attention back to the original.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
And that to me that I love that.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Because the new version of it didn't do anything for me,
but the original VERSI like, the Tracy Chapman version of
that song is gut wrenching. Okay, well, then I'll do
this one in the vein of the music and one
hit Wonders, all right, we brow knicksby one hit wonder
I hope not.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I hope not. That's but that's the thing, like that's
wh when we talk about punch counter punch, and we
can get to this in the next segment. I want to.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
When when a quarterback gets through that first season and
then teams in the off season, they get tape on
the guy and they get a chance to look at him,
the say, okay, here's what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Now I'm gonna you know, And that's.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
The CounterPunch from from quarterbacks. After teams have gotten tape
and they know how to defend you. The quarterbacks that
rise above it, those are the ones.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
That become the goods and the greats versus the guys
that get lost as one season wonders along the way,
you know, and that that's sort of the thing. So
I'm hoping that he's not. I'm hoping that bon Nicks
isn't just you know, a guy who comes out and
you know, all of a sudden, you know, okay, this
is this is good and then teams figure it out.
I'm hoping that the last couple of games are an apparition,

(13:15):
not an apparition, an aberration, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
I hope that, and so we'll see.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
But I don't think so. I don't think he's a guy.
I think his game is is not really set up
for him to be a one hit wonder person. But
what is the one hit wonder and that's you know,
a fairly successful season, Like what do you what do you.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Classify that as what I have to figure that out.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Some more of these coming in here. The Atari's Boys
of Summer. I've heard that version. That's a good one.
Me mentioned it to Johnny Ky. You said, Atari like
the video game. There's a band called the Ataris. Yes,
the yeah, and they.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Did never heard of them before? Yeah, Boys of Summer
they did. They made Don Healley song. Yeah they did.
I'm sure people are driving aroun Im going like, hon
the hell? Nick know who Don Heiley is? Remember Henley is?
Come on man, okay, let's keep it real.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Then if we had the poll, how many African American
people new Don Hiley.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Got not only just knowing who he is? And Dan Fair?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
If the cultural divide there somebody Kansas dust and the
winds bro Kansas the dust in the wind. There's not
a cover. Dusting the wind is.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Not a cover. Carrie Living wrote that song.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Unless unless to that Texas credit.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, are they say Kansas wo hit? Wonder what
we will Ferrell did? Do you know the Kansas all?
Remember there's all on the west stow which one is? This?
Is this the Hendrix? Yeah? Okay, yeah, But as soon
as he's.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Like this is so far beyond, so far beyond what
even Dylan was capable of. You know, Dylan had his
own genius. I think there's a movie out about him
right now. In fact, what was it the guy from Dune?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yes, I don't know. In this song when you go
with that wow wow low, what instrument is that? I
know it's good it's a guitar, but I think it's
what is he using with his hand.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
He's either up on the he's up on the front,
or he's maybe a steel guy. I have to go
back and listen because I can't remember what all he's got,
you know, layered in there. But it's it's just electric
and he has to do with the amptety he's doing
to get that sound.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
That's the part of the song that just kind of
sends me in the space where I just kind of
drift off.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Into this world of man, this is awesome, this that
wow wow yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, oh man, I yeah, it's it's funny.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
We got to hit a break. But as we're talking
about music, I'll let you get to tell this.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
I din't regul long my dad, but for one of
a reason he was friends with all these musicians and
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
And a bunch of them came to his and since
he mentioned Dustin to win Kansas. Three of the members
of Kansas where at my dad's funeral. I was worried
they were gonna put fun ato dust in the wind.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
At one point in that Mark Farnder from Grand Frock Railroad,
you had, Yeah, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
We gotta hit break. We'll be back Broncos Country Night
as coming around for the music segment.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
In the last segment, guys, tomorrow night sixty eight pm,
you can watch broadcast Chargers for myself and Nick and
Mile Post zero McGregor Square. We got food, drink specials,
and autograph football to give away, all presented by Don
Julios Tomorrow night, sixty eight pm at Mile Post zero
in McGregor Square.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Hope.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
See, guys, there a lot of text messages coming in.
Everybody can't even read all these, so many, so many
different great covers. We have to put like a VCT
Covers playlist together or something for everybody so that everybody
can can enjoy what everybody pointed out on all these.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
We should do that so we can share music, right,
I mean, music is one of those universal themes that we'll.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Get the Ben Nick Ben a Nick's infinite playlist, and
we'll get that.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
We'll get that going. Maybe we'll even let the will
lead Zach throw song or two in there. I'm thinking,
I don't want I don't want to hear a little
YACHTI in there.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
All right, man, I've.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Never heard you sound older than you say.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
I've never felt then.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Having to say, I don't want to hear anymore of
your mumble rapping there, but for a real rapping there.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
We're putting raping.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
They're putting real rap in there.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
This mumble nonsense, the good rap from back in your day.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, both both of them there. Hold on now, I
don't disagree with the remis. I'm more just saying it
as a be very, be.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Very cautious of the toes you step on them, because
back in the day was entirely different.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I know, I'm aging.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Myself by even throwing the words back of the day
in there. But today's hip hop, and yes, in yester
year's hip hop, they don't compare.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Today's hip hop is like house music back in the
back when we were and that's what it is like.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
That was the damn say yeah I know, and it
all sounds to say, it's exact same sound.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
He's actually Cadence. All right, I'm gonna go.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I'm a careful, very very careful.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
All right, I'll stop three hundred Chargers game COVID up
tomorrow night.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yes, do anything to talk about big game, huge game
coming up, and it's it's gonna be tough, Broncos gonna
be without Riley Moss.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
You actually, McLoughlin. You you're up against the Chargers team.
It's back against the wall after losing a game. They
probably didn't think they were gonna lose to Tampa, and
boy did they lose it.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
They were winning at halftime and they just got run
out of the stadium in the second half. And I
mean literally because Bucky Irving and Rashan White were doing
all the run up. Here's the thing that was interesting
that I saw that the Bucks were doing, and hopefully
the Broncos can do on a short week that they
continue to stay on the attack. And even though with

(19:18):
Bucky Irving in that first quarter against the Charges defense,
it just seemed as though their run game for Tampa
couldn't find any space. But Tampa, they didn't abandon the
run game. They found creative ways to kind of keep
their running backs involved, because I mean, you can't play
any game and be one dimensional. You just can't, especially

(19:40):
at this stage of the game where the Broncos find
themselves at nine to five with the potential to get
to that all important fifth seed, because you want to
get out of that sixty eight, because that sixties puts
you on the road in Buffalo against Josh how seven
sy puts you.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
On The sixties puts you on the road in Pittsburgh,
which I think every Broncos fan wants.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I think the NFL, I think everybody wants that match up.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
I think Russ Wilson and Sean Payton want that match
up because if there's two dudes that hate each other
more than those two guys do in the NFL, I'm
not aware of them.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well, hate it's such a strong word. And get apropos
for those two and such.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
As show loath, loath, you know, disdain for for an
individuals strong stronger than disdain, so longer than that, something
stronger than just stay.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
God, you know, just thing ain't getting the job done here.
I need that.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I need the Ajax version of hatred here. Wow, there's
the gel we need the powder we're talking about. We
need the old school powder for the scrubbing. Here is
the bitterness that deep? Do you think I think it is?
Is it more on one side than the other? Well, yes,

(20:50):
I think it's more on Russ's side because on Sean's side,
he's got his guy and it's sort of working with Bo.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
He wasn't working with BO. I think it be going
back the other way too, because Russ is out there.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Russ is out there at Busburg outperforming was Sean Payton?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
What he did is Sean Payton last year.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Even with that being said, I would like to think
that there's still a little residual maybe on Sean Payton's side,
because well Sean tried to say I rebuilt his career
and all this kind of stuff. Meanwhile, Arthur Smith is
having even better success with Russ Wilson out there, which
would only make the match up. I'm just saying even
better even taste here, Yeah, animosity.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Nope, In fairness to both, I think both are better off.
But at the same time, I think there's some animosity there. Man,
sign me up for that. That that's what the postseason
is about. Oh yeah, it's about heroes and villains.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
If Russ Wilson Sean Payton out the playoffs, boy, oh no,
the hand now if that weren't happened, is hypothetically speaking
first of all, is actually yours have a meltdown? Of course,
even the first person we have to call man, I'll
be happy then be that he will tear so much
hair out that his hair short look like mine. We

(22:04):
would have to do stage of intervention for Zach hey exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Maybe we would have to call him like every quarter
to make sure that he's okay.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Hey, did you see George Picketts last week against a
good defense?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm not worried. That's what That's what happens without his
best players. Hand to guess, one of the best defense
in the league.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
I mean George Pickets has been carrying him on a
lot of those depots, but.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Uh Pickets.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Defense, Yeah, that was definitely be one of those individuals
we would have to check on if Rocket would.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yes, we gotta get no, really, you gotta check on
me if they win that game. Well, I was talking
about Pittsburgh. If the Bronx was when that came out.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
A room for you and your ego in the booth
practice yes, I can't get his head through the door.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
I call it sick after.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Zach we walking in the studio with his chest popping
before Yeah, rocking V Night T shirts. May be walking
with that loose, loose walk, like the first time you're
with somebody like a peacock strutting. You might wear pants.
It might be optional that day. I don't know, yes,
But the thing about that that that that is what

(23:28):
the playoffs is about and what I miss is because
you want to root for the underdog, but you want
to see those battles where it's historic and for it
line because it goes it's for me is deeper than
Jess Russell and Sean Payton because in my time with

(23:50):
the Denver Broncos, we were always competing for the Super.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Bowl Playoff birth against Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, and there's there's initial history that in your there's
the t Bow to Jamarious game, Yes, there's there.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
You couldn't script.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
A better opening round matchup than that you were write
in the movie script. You couldn't script it better than
Russ And that situation happened last year and then they
come back around this year and that's the first round
of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Even making it the AFC Championship game or something. Oh wow,
could you wait? Could you imagine I'm just saying if
that was I'm just saying, Zag would lose his freaking mind.
Could you imagine? It's like the ANC champers said, those
some teams face it off. M that'd be amazy. Hey,
get a little revenge for five six one of those.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I think I already got the revenge that Damarius t
Bow was the revenge?

Speaker 1 (24:40):
What was it.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Really though, Hey, don't try and get even get ahead. Yes, dude,
Pittsburgh was already booking travel. No, they did not think
Tim Tebow was gonna beat him. I don't think that
they'll Pittsburgh a major blow.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
It plused him into stomach. It's slatting across the face. Yeah,
but it didn't put them on the canvas.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
Five six sixt to the text line, Hey guys, Stacy
from Utah, I schedule Thursday off work so I will
be able to be home and watch the game.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Go Broncos. Well, good Lacy.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Stacy will send you a shout out from al Post zero.
Will be down there, McGregor square. But but good for
you for being able to be off work and watching this,
and you hear your boss and collar and a gentleman
yes from the four.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
One three.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
If Russ knocks the Broncos out, I could see Sean
Payton praising their amazing defense afterward and nothing more.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
That's right, Hey, you know he's right.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
You know the four, you know the fall and three
is right on this because you know it's exactly what
would happen.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
If Pittsburgh nothing.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
It didn't matter Pittsburgh hung forty on the Broncos.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Sean Paige would come out and would find a way
to only credit TJ. Watt because he can't. He wouldn't
be able to say that, Okay, Russ had a great game.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
He can't say Russ Russ could throw for five hund
zero and five touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
He'd probably talk about the wide receiver and.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
The coach and Sean Payton would sit there talking about, man,
Pittsburgh's got a great special teams.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Look at those extra points they knocked in.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Look what Arthur Smid did far as officer coordinated scheming.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
That I received his open, Yeah, scheming of open.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
The offensive line blocked incredible level running backs.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Were brought to the Racers.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Dude, that that would be everybody by name that was
so uncomfortable, that would.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Be so comfortable. But I mean love Haten and he's
our coach.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Champayte is that level of petty. But the dude that
was talking about tricking people in in the draft of J. J. McCarthy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he did say that.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
I mean he was and I don't know he said.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
It with a chess out yeah, like he said like
he was laughing about it in the presser right after
they got bo m Chapagon.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
You know, love Rayden. He used that level of petty.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
And for all the things I don't like about Sean Payton,
that's the one thing I took love.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Love that, love that level of petty.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Could you imagine what that postgame interview would sound like
with Dave Logan right after that, Oh my.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
God, I'm I'm praying. I'm praying. I'm praying.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
We're putting a religious shrine in the corner. I'm praying
for this matchup to happen. I'll build the shrine, okay.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And he might be the same person turning it down
with an AX.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
Stupid, I swear, Oh my god, I've had way too
It's forward, But I mean Coulton Chickens before we hatch
with this Chargers game.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Man Chargers missing JK. Dobbins, their offenses has looked stagnant
without it. In fact, the last three games they played,
they've scored exactly seventeen points.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Three straight weeks. They haven't been able to run the
ball with Gus Edwards.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
They don't use Vidal and he's not a very good
pass protector, and they're trying to.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Rely on Justin Herbert throwing the ball. But they only
have one viable receiver in lab McConkey.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
He's out. That's it. Smart and merit tied end my
coolest name ever.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Well Stone Smart. Over the past two weeks, he has
kind of showed up. Yeah, I'm not saying that he
is like Mark Andrews and Travis Kelsey, but at the
same time, don't slip because he was able to slip
out on a couple of routes against Tampa Bay in

(28:19):
his own coverage and make some big catches.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
So this is a Chargers team with their back against.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
The wall and they know that this game will change
everything for them.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
They win this game.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It puts so much pressure on the Denver Broncos because
now the Chargers go up because now they have two
wins over the Denver Broncos. Now it becomes pandigmo for
Seanpagne and the Broncos. This is why the Broncos got
to go in handle.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Their business business.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
If you don't, you got a week and a half
to think about a Chargers team that is on fire
offensively and I don't know that we're winning a shutout.
We need the defense at full strength to win that one.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
And then back.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Against the wall with Kansas City and week that they
may be doing us a charity by not playing to
Hawaiian players. We have to see, but you can't count
on that. By the way, I was Stone Smart for
those of you who don't know so. Smart was a quarterback.
He had seventeen total catches his entire five year college career.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
He was a quarterback who threw for twenty seven hundred
yards thirty one touchdowns to three picks in his best
season in twenty eighteen. He's a quarterback who converted the
tight end his last season.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
At Old Dominion. That's the hell of the name Stone Smart.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
It sounded like it's a name for like a Michigan linebacker,
right because Yeah. Remember one time, seven years ago, I
think who was it?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
They had two linebackers.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
One they won. Last name was Steel and one last
name was Ireland. I can remember the first name, but
but I do. I do didn't like that. I don't
think it was Iron, But there was something like that.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I know what you talked about. It was something like that.
I had to go back. Yeah, Stone's man smart. That
does sound like a like a that's like a guy
who's got the neck roll, the linebacker with the neck roll.
You know I'm talking about it. You remember, I know
Zach doesn't remember. Just like vander ash you may remember this.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Remember back in the day, like when I was a kid,
the Pages had a quarterback, Steve Grogan.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Only quarterback with a neck roll. Yeah, the quarterback. Yeah,
Krogan had a neck roll. Oh man, I haven't thought
about Steve Grogan in a minute. That was that was
I remember saying that as a kid. It was like,
what what's going on with his neck?

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Huh? Why did he have to.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yes, it looks like it looked like he had like
one of those in flight pillows, Like that's how thick
it was, and went around the thickest he had like
an Andy Reid mustache and a and a neck roll
that looked like I mean, I'm serious, it would all
way around.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
It looked like it was like a neck brace. Looked
like a Harry Carry neck brace. That's that throwback, right,
there's that that throw back. I mean, are sure you're
familiar with that?

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Parcels is if you have two quarterbacks, you don't have
a quarterback.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I want to have a new one. If your quarterback
has a neck row, you don't have a quarterback. Broken
was not to light it up.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Dude, dude, you got you gotta go back and watch
him of the film. I'm not saying that to you.
He was like the best quarterback ever. But still he's
a quarterback. I've there throwing it with the neck ro
He let the league in touchdowns in nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
He had twenty eight touchdowns in nineteen seventy nine. That
was like a quarterback looking like Brian Bosworth. Right, it
was like I've been dropping back. It was like a
thirty years.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
There was like a three years there, like seventy eight,
seventy nine and eighty where he was he was it.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
He led the league in like game winning.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Drives one year and then touchdowns one year, yards per
a tempt one year, like he was.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
There was a three to.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Five year span where Steve Grogan was it he's at.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
So you missed out on a lot, right.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I know that this is kind of nostalgia for Ben
and I and the listeners, but but you were you
were technically born in the Rowan era. I'm telling you,
you were born in the Rowan era.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
We'll get him, we'll get him up to speed during
the break, Broncos Country and I. We'll be back after
this
