Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's a Dan Patrick Show here Fox Sports Radio. He's
LeVar Arrington. I'm Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys.
We are going to take you all the way up
until noon Eastern time, nine am Pacific. You can find
this show on the iHeartRadio app and on hundreds of
affiliates all across the country. We appreciate you making us
a part of your Memorial Day, your Monday morning here
(00:26):
from Fox Sports Radio and LeVar. We opened up talking
about the NBA playoffs. We opened up talking about the
Minnesota Timberwolves. They've got a problem. They've got a guy who's,
you know, seven foot nine, and he's four to thirty
two from three. That's an issue. The Dallas Mavericks have
a three to zhos series lead. But I mean, the
(00:47):
one thing is at least there is still hope. There
is still hope for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They're down three
to ZHO, they're not down four to oh, so there
is still hope there. There's some people that also think
that there's hope in the NFL when it comes to
the New York Jets, and those people are people who
are believers in Aaron Rodgers. And Aaron Rodgers spoke with
(01:10):
Serious XM over the weekend, and he talked about just
the reality of why the Jets are on primetime as
much as they are, and just sort of what it's
looking like as far as the anticipation and the coverage
of the New York Jets this upcoming season. Let's hear
from Aaron Rodgers himself.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I love it. I mean, we are must watch TV
and that's pretty obvious. Everybody knows that, whether you love
me or hate me, people want to see me play,
They enjoy watching me play, and we are a team
to watch this year. Not surprising.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
How's that feel. Somebody's somebody who's a doubter of Aaron Rodgers.
All right, doubter. You can doubt the Timberwolves all you want.
You can't doubt Aaron Rodgers and the Jets this upcoming season.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
So once again, it's all based upon it being Aaron Rodgers.
Tell you, you don't go to Green Bay for Wisconsin
and for the cheese. You go there for Aaron rod
Damn right. So that's the same thing in the Big Apple.
You don't go to New York city, you know, number one,
number two media market in the world. To see the
New York Jets play, you go to see.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Aaron ra I got your statue of liberty right here.
It's Aaron Rodgers. That's who you're going to New York.
You go, Yeah, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
How you feel about it.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I mean, he's okay. First of all, he's right. I
mean people do what But I think people want to
watch it because I think there are some people they
don't like Rogers. He's not you know, he's very polarizing.
And as he said, you know, whether you like me
or not, people like it watching me play. That is true.
I think there's a lot of people who are waiting
(02:46):
for the impending doom, the disaster to go.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Because are you insinuating that I'm one of those people?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Listen, I'm not insinuating anything. This is a brand new
time slot. We could be whatever we want right now.
It's like, it's like this is a costume party. Who
can dress up as.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Much, set the stage forevery like because everyone out there listening,
who may not listen to our time slot. What Jonas
is doing right now is he is earning a ten dollars.
Fine about passively aggressively placing a topic of conversation that
I have had a very very strong opinion on and
(03:21):
and I'm not waning on on how I feel about.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
There's no change in place? So go ahead, you can
tell them.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I mean, LaVar is not a believer in Aaron Rodgers
in the New York Jets, and Brady Quinn and myself
are believers and Aaron Rodgers in the New York Jets.
I think they're going to be a playoff team, and LaVar.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Says wild card team, right, yeah, both think they're playoff.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Team, wildcard division, however you want it. I think they're
going to be a playoff team, LeVar said.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
And you think they're going to win the division?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think there's a chance I'll do it. Hey, Jerry,
thank you. Jerry relaxed, all right?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I mean, are you serious they might win the division?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm saying there's a possibility. Here's what I would say.
LeVar said, the Jets will be so bad next year
that they're going to be contracted from the league and
put in the UFL. Did you or did you not
say that? Would Sward? You said that?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah? I didn't go I didn't go that far.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You said, and I quote, if they were on a
neutral field against the Saint Louis BattleHawks, I take the
BattleHawks by a touchdown. Did you or did you not
say that about Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Oh? I did not say that, but but I did
say I do not feel confident that this is a
two digit, double digit win team.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Isn't it going to be a fun watch though?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I think either way, like you said, and I'm not
watching with the idea of looking for Aaron Rodgers's demise
or even the team's demise. I'm not invested in the
New York Jets that way. I don't. I don't have
any malice towards them or anything that would lead me
down a highest, you know, take on the team. I'm
(05:04):
just looking at it from the standpoint of what has
this team been able to do over the last decade.
And when you look at the characters that they've had
on this team, they've had, They've had guys on their roster.
This hasn't been a team depleted of talent during the
(05:26):
course of I mean it's been more than a decade. Really,
there is nothing that says to me based off of
the correlation of everything that has transpired with this franchise
that they're going in the right direction. And furthermore, I
don't get that from Robert Sala. When has Robert Salah
(05:46):
as the head coach of this team given you any
reason to think that they're going to be anything but
what they've been since he's taken over. No hate, no shade,
but that's just reality. Like, if we're looking at it
from from the reality of what Robert Sala has done
as the head coach, there there's no reason to think
that they're heading in the direction of being a super
(06:09):
Bowl contender or even a divisional champ.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
You don't want to haler for Sala. Come on, I
just think in his to his point, you know, yeah,
we must watch TV. Where must be TV. I'm fascinated
to see how it works, because you do have you've
sort of You've got this quarterback who is like, like
we talked about, very polarizing, and he's trying to steer
(06:34):
the ship of a boat that cannot help but crash like.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Literally or might already be crashed.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It could be, and that there could be going anywhere
Like hey, yeah, you know, the back ends kind of
you know, drifting lower and lower into the ocean, like, yeah,
it could be that, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
You realize we're in a sand bar right now. I
know there's water. I know we're looking at water around
the boat, but we're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The other part of this that I that I think
is interesting because you know, Rogers talked about, you know,
how Robert Sala has been more involved with the offense,
but he also talked about in this next clip, he
talked about Nathaniel Hackett and just having his trust in
Nathaniel Hackett, the offensive coordinator. There Again, this was Rogers
(07:22):
with Sirius XM.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, you should trust me and I trust Nathaniel, So
to me, that's the end of the story. There's been
a lot of you know, a lot of BF it's
been said out there. You know, there's a lot of
things that have gone on the last couple of years
that he's dealt with. I think he's handled very professionally,
and at the end of the day, I think you've
(07:44):
got to trust him and I his working relationship and
the conversation that we have. Keith Carter, you know, has
done a really nice job at offensive line for us,
and then Obviously, our quarterback rom is really really solid
at Todd Downing, So the staff is what it needs
to be. We got to.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Believe in in Nathaniel. There's been some things that we've
improved on, been some things that were out of his control.
At the end of the day, him and I as
partnerships is one that's been football in the past, and
it's going to be fruitful again.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I don't know if there's anybody in the NFL that's
had a worse couple of off seasons than Nathaniel Hackett,
because Sean Payton basically swiped him last year and talked
about the awful coaching and all that, which got everybody
fired up in New York and they wanted and Rogers
wanted to defend him and spoke publicly about it. And
(08:39):
then this offseason, I think it was Connor Hughes of
S and Y who reported and we talked about this
on our show that the Jets were trying and actively
looking for an offensive assistant or somebody to basically come
in and basically take over the offense. So two off
seasons in a row, your ability to do the job
has publicly been quite and the way it looks now
(09:02):
is the only reason that he's in the role is
because Aaron Rodgers is there. And I'm not saying like
like Nathaniel Hackett knows a hell of a lot more
about offensive football than I do, but it does feel
like maybe somebody's sort of being thrown out there is like,
all right, well this is really hampering us. But you know,
we'll go with him because he's Rogers guy, and maybe
(09:25):
this could be sort of what does them in, or
at least the discussion for doing them in. And I
look at it and I go, if I'm Nathaniel Hackett
and I've got Robert slaz sitting in our meetings. Now
I've got the stuff that happened last offseason, the stuff
that happened this offseason. He's got to be a little
rattled at this point. Nah, you don't think.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm gonna tell you what it does for Nathaniel Hackett
in this moment. It gives him plausible deniability. And I
used that earlier in the show with Justin Jefferson. Now
Nathaniel Hackett gets an opportunity to use that plausible deniability
against Robert Salah, you're meddling, You're involved you're putting your
(10:08):
input on it, you're touching on it. It's not mine.
How can we get the results that I know I'm
capable of getting If I'm not able to operate and
do things the way that I do them, you're interrupting
my process. That's just saying if it were to go wrong, right, Jonas, like,
(10:28):
you don't want to put yourself in a situation where
you can't find another job after this one goes wrong.
And we all know that if you're in the coaching profession,
chances are very high, very likely that you will be
looking for another job at some point in time if
you're going to continue to be a coach. So to me,
(10:51):
knowing that you have a head coach, which by the way,
the head coach is the head coach, he's allowed to
delegate however he wants to delegate. He's allowed to insert
himself however he wants to insert himself, No Diddy, and
what's going on within the building and with what's going
(11:11):
on within the meeting rooms and what have you. So
that's his right, and for what it's worth, I think
Robert Salah is out of runway. So the only way
this thing works out for everybody involved. Is if this
team has the type of success that that would lend
(11:36):
lend to the argument and the discussion point that this
is a team that is going in the right direction
and you have cause to keep everybody in play in
place that are in place, then that includes Nathaniel Hackett,
I would assume, because that would mean that Aaron Rodgers
is having success, which would mean that the trickle down
effect is is that you want to keep everybody happy
(11:59):
with what's going on, and I think Nathaniel Hackett on
the staff with Aaron Rodgers keeps both of them happy.
More specifically Aaron Rodgers. Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Joel Elliott, our technical producer, currently wearing a Bad Boy
Records T shirt.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah, bad Boy LA checked this out. What is that like?
Tell us what.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
That's like when you know you got a coach that
is like, you know everybody on the team know he
looking because that's funny you said he may be out
of runway, so kind of the players know when the
coaches like up out of there right?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And you turn the music on, y'all say, turning.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Music, Well, that's what they call lame.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You can't tell us a damn thing, coach, You're out of.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Here while you're all your way out, How you gonna
tell me about the dog getting mad? Spot dad? Man?
You know there have been and you know, I had
plenty of coaches, so I had plenty good examples of
one way or the other. You know, when I was
in Washington, we knew, we knew by game three, We
(13:14):
knew by game three that North Turner's ass was on.
It was grass.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Did he get fired mid season or mid season? No?
So three games in you're like.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well there was another one hang on work out for him.
And I was young, I was a rook so I
didn't even understand what all that meant. Like, I had
never had a coach fired, so I didn't go into
it knowing that that was the scenario. But it certainly
turned out to me. You know, Vet Vets knew, you know,
had game three, you know what, like Game three, we
(13:48):
knew he was it was bad. You know.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
My favorite part about that is is that there was
a Washington fan who was living and dying with every
game and had nothing but hope and optimism, and yet
inside the law locker room, by week three, they're like, oh,
it's over look, we're not even in October.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yet I remember when I remember when Coach Spurrier when
he went on the like it's over, he came in.
I don't remember what week it was. I don't. I
do not recall all the details, like I don't like
my first year. I kind of remember quite well. I
remember the Marty Year kind of well. But I remember
(14:26):
Spurrier came into the room. You know, everybody settled down,
sell out. We lost the game. Nobody's fault, nobody's fault.
We're all professionals here. We lost. Okay, that's it. You know,
we lost. Snowbody's fault. Snowbody's fault. We was looking around
(14:49):
like nobody's fault. Like that might have been the most serious,
passive aggressive approach to basically said yeah, we're all screwed. Basically,
we're all looking around like like Coach was like they
rolled out and got him along neck. You know what
I mean, I'm gonna go hit these greens. Look, we
(15:09):
go out to practice, we go out through the practice,
we go outside. It's cold as hell. It was. It
was unexpected cold on the football field, and it was
like kind of like like not raining hard, but it
was like there was there was pre sip there was.
There was moisture coming down and it was cold. It
(15:30):
was cold like like sprinkles. And he's sitting there on
the practice field like coach didn't checked out, Man, he didn't. Coach,
he didn't checked out. Like we're looking at him like
we cold as hell too, everybody cold as hell. We're
going through the warm ups. We get out of warm ups,
we're in. We're in the first part of practice. I
want to say, indeed period And coach blew his whistles, like,
(15:55):
all right, let's take it on end.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Let's take it on that.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
Cold out here.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
We're not going to practice his cold.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
We're not doing no.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I did it rod here Man.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
We was in a game week we went and sat
it done. We will go tried that indoor soccer facility.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Do you think if I were to list off the
losses that you had that year with coach Spurry or
his second year Steve Spurrier in Washington, LeVar, do you
think you could remember which game it was where he
just said, well, that's it, nobody's fault.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
I can't remember, though, I can't remember. We ended up
being what five and eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, five and eleven.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You started out, I remember back in three undefeated, and
we went undefeated in preseason.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You also that year you beat the Jets in week one,
you won in a Week two, you lost in overtime
to the Giants in Week three overtime, and then you
beat the Patriots in week four?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Did we really? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
And then you went on a heater and lost four straight?
Uh and lost yeah one after a new coach stars
and I believe it seven of their of their next
day they lost, did Washington? You beat the Giants in
week fourteen? And then after that you got shut out
by the Cowboys twenty seven and nothing. You were at
the Bears and lost twenty seven to twenty four.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
That was that was the cold. I remember that one.
That was the colch Tower game.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
And then and then Philadelphia narrowly escaped you guys thirty
one seven. I was the final in that game, so
nearly rarely. But you know what, Steve Spurrier, he's no fault.
He's awesome.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I love no boy's fault. We're all pros.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
And oh man, he loved the golf too, Huh, yes
he did.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I'm gonna get me some long neck go go hit,
go hit some balls.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I'll tell you when he did. When I was in
South Carolina doing radio, that was our favorite thing to
do with Steve Spurrier because at some point somebody would
get astray, like it'd just be real sneaky like this.
There was this guy, Eric Walford, who was I think
the offensive line coach who he hired and then ended
up taking the head coaching job at Youngstown State, and like,
(18:08):
listen for pure, I don't know, Youngstown State's a good program.
Sure like the Penguins, Like that's a good program. I
think Bo Polini was there, and so he's the offensive
line coach, and I think he gets the head coaching
job at Youngstown State. And so Spurrier is doing this
press conference kind of announcing the decision, and he's like, yeah,
you know, we're happy for Eric. You know, did did
great things here. You know, that's why I brought him on.
(18:31):
You know, very was really confident in his abilities and
definitely happy anytime a coach of mine can can advance
to the next level and get get his own opportunity.
So we appreciate everything he did for us, and we're
happy and excited for his future. But sure did think
you'd be here more than one year got to tell you.
It's like, wait, what are you happier? You're not happy?
And then just went about his day, went and did
(18:53):
his coaches show during the week. Half the time might
have been half in the bag while he was doing
the coaches show, and then played golf. And I believe
if he was a member of Augusta National, like literally
loved golf, loved football too. But anybody that I talked
to says, he's a great guy. Coach is a og man,
that he was really really fun straight og Yeah, and
(19:14):
they it.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Is horrible what they did to that man, you know
what I mean. Like I told our guys, I said,
the one thing y'all going and regret is not being
better professionals while we had him, because they ruined that
that dude. Let us stay at home. We had so
many we had so many cool things going on with
coach Spurrier man just one of the coolest dudes. And
(19:36):
all you had to do was your job. That was it.
We just didn't have enough professionals on that team, like
it was a bunch of posers, and and it led to,
you know, some horrible results. And then they let him
go and then they bring in you know after I
don't even want to go there, but anyway, it's just,
you know, we needed more pros. We needed more pros.
Speaker 2 (19:58):

Coming up here? A Memorial Day edition of would You Rather?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Here?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Coming up in a little over fifteen minutes from now
here on FSR. SO, we got a couple of news
and notes from around the NFL. One of which is,
so the NFL has been moving around. Uh, they've been
going to different places. They're going to be going to Brazil,
which you know, some players are really really excited about,
(22:40):
and we talked about this on our show. We anticipate
one or two players not making the return flight home
and they're going to stick around a little while. Yeah,
you know, forget the season, forget my career.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Tell me to wife the kids. I love them, man,
I ain't never coming back.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Yeah, let me tell you something. You know, my game
check that goes a long way out here. And they're
gonna go ahead and stick around to Sa Paulo when
the Eagles and the Packers are playing there in Brazil.
So they've gone around internationally. There's also the potential they
could be going a couple other places. Henry Hodgson, the
GM of the NFL's UK office, told The Irish Star
(23:17):
that Paris and Dublin are two cities the NFL is
looking to bring potential games in the future. If you're
a player, I mean, I know it's not maybe ideal
right in the middle of the season. Kind of a
cool little field trip. No, like getting to go to
some of these places like Brazil's before the season, so
that's a little bit different. But if they're throwing like
(23:38):
a Paris game, a Dublin game, like I'm surprised Dublin
hasn't hosted a game yet. Obviously Dan Patrick and our
show was there, you know, for the Notre Dame game
against Navy back in August. And look the Aviva Stadium
that that game was played at, seats fifty one thousand people.
NFL fans travel and if you put the right teams together.
(23:59):
I think the last time the NFL was in Ireland,
it was a preseason game of ninety seven. It was
the Bears and the Steelers. Lofar. You grew up a
Steeler fan. Steeler fans are going to travel to Dublin, Like,
if this happens, they're going to make it out there.
I'm surprised Dublin isn't on the list. But as a player,
these gs like to me, these games would be fun,
like this would be a surprise.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
They're not trying to go to like Italy for like
Steelers type games. You know, Italians a lot of Pazzano.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Russell Wilson justin Field's great point, I mean great point.
I see, you know a.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Lot of the quarterback about the fan base. Yeah, you're
talking about the fan base traveling? Is it you want?
You wanted to move the gold Post.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
A lot of a lot of a lot of Italian Steelers.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I do believe. I mean, if you look at both
of those young men, they could have Italian mixed in
there their twenty three and me. Yeah, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I have no idea. I'm just saying, like I'm thinking,
Tommy DeVito, Okay, I'm thinking, you know, maybe maybe the
Giants would make some sense. And by the way, Steelers Polka.
Hold on, all right, so you're claiming you're claiming Italian,
but isn't Polka. Isn't that check?
Speaker 4 (25:10):
We looked this up, right, But I'm just telling you,
if you look up Pittsburgh you'll find, I mean, there's Polish,
there's a Polish population, large Polish population, but there's also
a very large, super large Italian population. Super large I'm
talking about, yeah, super large. I'm just having that conversation
(25:33):
the other day, maybe yesterday.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Polka originated in the Czech I mean at the time Bohemia.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But yeah, check reul, here we go there it goes
so you figured it out.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I don't even know what that has to do with
I don't know. Somebody let me know. That's Italian. That
is not check.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Wait are we good?
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Sor right? They jump for something behind there. But the
point is the NFL is going to be doing these
international games and more and more places one in on
the NFL, and they want to take this game global
because the game continues to grow and grow and grow.
Here's the other thing I got to ask you, okay,
because if I was a player, this would piss me off,
Like I bet a little I'd have a little bit
of a red ass about this. I'm so sick and tired.
(26:29):
And this happens in the preseason. But there was some
stories that came out last week, like later in the
week Thursday Friday, about quarterbacks, specifically rookie quarterbacks struggling in OTAs.
Like there was a story about Caleb Williams had a
rough day of practice, and so you know some of
the veterans like Kevin Byer, yeah, like rally around him.
(26:50):
And you'll hear other stuff like you know, who was
the quarterback, Who's who's now the backup with the Giants?
Drew Lock. Drew Lock apparently had a rough day in practice,
and the New York Daily News had ahead time that's
a headline that said Daniel Jones after that practice is
clearly the best quarterback on the roster. It's like, well, dude,
how much how much would you pay him? Like I
(27:12):
would hope he's the best quarterback on the roster if
he gave him that type of money and you chose
him over Saquon Barkley when it came to getting a
deal done. But like, dude, these are OTAs and a
lot of these guys are rookies, like Drew Lock's not.
But Caleb Williams is like, ether, shouldn't a rookie be struggling?
And if he's not struggling and he's lighting your defense up,
(27:32):
isn't that a problem for the defense on that team?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Defenses are generally ahead at this point in time during
the during the year, because it's I don't know, I
don't know why. That might be the translation of it
as to why, but defenses generally are further ahead. Maybe
because it's less they have to to know, Maybe it's
(27:57):
less they have to execute and do, but it's not
it's not it shouldn't come as a surprise, even if
you've had a quarterback that's been in in the seat
for for quite some time for them to come out
and not be as sharp. And maybe that's what it is.
(28:20):
Maybe it's just the timing of everything trying. A lot
of offenses is rhythmic. A lot of offense is based
on timing and familiarity, and and these guys are just
now getting in the saddle. Even if I've had you
as my receiver for for years, you're still just getting
back into what the rhythm, finding the rhythm of what
(28:42):
what you guys have between each other, the rhythm of
the play calling with with the offensive coordinator and the coaches.
So I think there are a few factors that play
a part in why guys may struggle on offense. But
as certainly in OTA's nothing to be alarmed about. It's
not like, oh, this guy's a bus like you know which,
(29:04):
people love doing that, but that's that's not the right time.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
It's just weird that that it becomes a story. It's like,
first of all, he's a rookie, he's got a brand
new offensive coordinator, he's got new weapons around him, Like
he's got like like why like that to me, isn't
this where you're supposed to go through those growing pains.
It's like preseason, Like we hear these stories about preseason practices, like, oh,
so and so struggled in a preseason, Dude, like, this
(29:29):
is practice.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
You're gonna struggle. We're talking about practice. Listen, you're gonna
you're gonna struggle one hundred percent. You're gonna you're gonna
struggle once you get into real games, because there's no way,
not even in preseason, there's no way to simulate game speed.
And then it's it's the same for you know, the playoffs.
(29:52):
There's no way of simulating how much faster and how
much more intense the game is in a playoff game.
So so you're going to get your learning on the job.
If you're a rookie, if you're a first time starter,
whatever it may be, you're going to get your real
reps and you're going to find out a lot about
(30:14):
yourself when they're real game reps. And that's the only
way you find out, that's the only way you start
to improve. You work for your timing, you work on
being you know, on the same page, everybody being on
the same page, having understanding both on offensive defense and
even special teams. But you don't really get to know
(30:36):
what type of team you truly are until you're in
the trenches of a real game.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
That's what we do, you know. Like for people that
don't know, I mean, we did a show before this,
a practice show, and we listen, we had some struggles
like right before this and the second yeah, I mean
I did, I did. I struggled by.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
But you tightened up yeah, and then together and then.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The real show started and we started lighting it up.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
Here and you start working to light it up with me,
because I'd just be lighting it up anyway. Hell yeah,
what I mean that smells really bad.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Good job, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
It is, it is.

Speaker 7 (33:16):
Yes, Yes, that's right. I Unfortunately I have to give

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Oh, you're not giving out the dot com to the

Speaker 2 (33:28):
No, Today's a Memorial Day edition? Would you rather?
Speaker 3 (33:35):
So?
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Of course we're gonna you know, we're gonna start with
what most people do on Memorial Day. Of course, honor
remember our our troops, but we all we often uh,
man the grill. Would you rather man the grill or
play with the kids at the barbecue?
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Man the gril?
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, Man the grill.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Like I mean, I like my my son, but like
I don't want to play with anybody else's kids. I'm good,
I'm sorry. There's just too much. It just becomes.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
I enjoy the grill, so I'm not. It's it's not
even I enjoy kids too. But one thing that I've learned,
I don't I don't want to be disciplining other people's kids.
I don't want to have anything to do with that.
So I like the grill anyway. So I'll be on
the grill.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Now that grill.
Speaker 7 (34:27):
Would you rather have charcoal or propane?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Charcoal? But propane is so much easier, man, just turn
I like the flames.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
I'd rather go charcoal. Put a little bit of a
little bit of wood on there, get a little bit
of wood smell to it, you know, some flavored some
some flavored smelling wood cherry, you know, black cherry, preferably.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Agreed, But also say there's some places where you were
you are not allowed to have black cherry. Well, no,
that that too, But there's some places you know that too,
you're not allowed to have charcoal. Like they it's got
(35:14):
to be a little bit more contained with the propane.
So interesting kind of sucks, but is what it is.
Speaker 7 (35:19):
Well, speaking of which would you rather? Would you rather
have that grill at the beach or in the park park?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
It doesn't matter. I mean a beach is fine. Beach
is fine, all right.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
The park it's a little more clean, like.
Speaker 4 (35:35):
A little more that's you're you're like your you take
beach life for granted.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
No, I just I just think there is I just
think beaches have changed around here, you.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Know, like that's that means you might catch on fire,
you know, if the oil might pop up on you,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Water that and and also the fact that it used
to be you know, you would walk past a sleeping
sir for in between raves.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
And now you wave a whole bunch of hobo.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, now you get a step over sleeping bags to
get to where you go.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
The biggest problem I have with the beach is that
you lug all that stuff out there sober.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
And at the end of the night, were you tips
oh yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Hey, you know what. But that's that's that's what a
lot of people do. They leave it.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
There, Joel, Just yeah, leave it there, just I mean, like,
get the cheap stuff and just leave it there because
you know, even if you don't leave it there, somebody
who's gonna end up taking it anyways, especially out here
like that's that's just the way it works. But I'll
take my chances at the park. You know, I need
a little bit of grass. You know, I need some trees,
I need some shade, all right. I don't need my
pasty ass getting fried up while I'm trying to turn
(36:44):
over a hot dog because some little brat doesn't want
to go swimming anymore and he's tired of making sand castles.
See there's somebody don't want the kids.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Damn curmudget, Damn what else? Guys?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Would you rather hot dog, slash, brought or Burger?
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Oh? I like I like brots. I like bros.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
I've heard what I would I would I know, I
know you like brots, Hammers, hammers. I would say I'll
go brought. Oh man, that's tough. I'll probably go broad
hot dog. But I mean tomorrow could be burger. I
(37:27):
could be on a on a Burger kick. And here's
the I would also say this, Am I a weirdo?
That if I go to a game and I get
a hot dog, I don't put anything on it for
some reason, just the bun and the hot dog are
enough for me. I don't need mustard, I don't need onions.
I don't need ketchup. If you put ketchup on your dogs,
I don't need any of that. If I just go playing,
(37:48):
take it out of the foil wrapper and just eat
it as is.
Speaker 7 (37:51):
Dude, I had an La street dog this weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Yeah, it was awesome. That's it.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Some street dogs be fired. I could come out of
the joint all there'd be like twelve different stations of
people cooking them. Is that what you're talking Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:04):
Absolutely, man, it's coming out of the Rose Bowl. I
was sitting on the Rose Bowl this this Saturday.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
You were right on the street front me. Yeah, I
told you to come check me, man, But I know, yeah,
real friends, Oh you are your friends.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
So you were literally in the vicinity of the invite
and you still said no to LeVar with separate separate days. Okay,
separate days.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
But yeah, you ever get another one?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (38:27):
Wow, no Diddy, no Diddy, no more invite to the
to the cookout, my bad.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Alright, he's got his own.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Yeah, yeah, I was at I was at the Rose
Bulls sitting on sitting on the twenty five yard line.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Sitting at the top.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
So when you guys waste, So when you guys come
out and you smell the Hollywood hot Dogs, the La
Street dogs, you know what smells good is the onions, right,
I mean yeah. So here's a little trick for people
out there, if you're barbecuing today, here's a little trick.
When you turn your grill on gas, charcoal, whatever it is,
(39:05):
cut a white onion or a sweet onion in half
and wait till it gets hot and you rub the
grill with it. So you season the grill with an onion,
a freshly cut onion, and it smells so damn good.
It smells just like one of those l A Street
dog carts. Is the only thing that works on Use
the onion on your on your grill.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
It works on these.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
Joe, Yeah, damn, she gave me a hot pepper to
the roll.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
What else we go now that I think of it too.
Speaker 7 (39:44):
At that event, I bought a Alison Chain's record. Really yeah,
because we're listening to Allison Chains right now. Yes, ibout
dirt is it dirt? What is the name of that
h I think so? Yeah, Dirt Love.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Alson Chains nothing always upbeat, upbeat pop of lyrics to
those Alice and Chains guys man always always positive? Uh
what else?
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Guys? Uh?
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Memorial Day?
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Would you rather go to a Blue Angels air show
or baseball game?
Speaker 4 (40:13):
Have you ever seen a Blue Angels show?
Speaker 7 (40:15):
I haven't, but I just went to the IMAX Blue
Angels movie.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
So I used to live in Annapolis for a really
long time and they do it for the graduation. I'm
pretty sure it's the graduation every year. You see them
every year? I see the show every year. Can you
I would definitely want to see a Blue Angels over
a movie. You see a movie baseball baseball over a
baseball game? Can you?
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Can you gamble on the Blue Angels if they're going
to like?
Speaker 4 (40:42):
What?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Because I know you can gamble on baseball. So that's
why I choose baseball.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
And you tripped out? I'm sorry, tripped out.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I got kids of feed Bye.
