Speaker 1 (00:00):
How are you good to be with you?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Fantastic man? He know he she cannot wait to get
a little tapping' yaki. That's what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hey, I said a few days ago in the air,
if I have my last meal on death Row, I'd say,
give me the whole appetizer menu from he know o Ishi.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's what I said. They make delicious sushi.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I like the one thing that they do where they
do it on the grill there the tipping' yaki, but
then they put it back inside the lobster tail man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's delicious as well.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
No, that's not on the appetizer menu. I need to
go further again. That sounds incredible. Well. And then a
week and a half ago or whenever this was announced,
I thought they said, and you're gonna be outside on
the patio, and I right, all right, good, we're looking
forward to going out there. And then it hit me
in what ninety nine hundred and one, I thought we
could not have ordered up if we ordered this day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know what, I'm happy the day turned out the
way it did. It's a cool breeze. I got my
hoodie on.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I know, Okayle made it a lot of people would say, really,
but we're in the shade.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's a little but.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hoody goes off tomorrow though, because it's gonna get a
little hot again.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, that's all right. I saw people at work with
long sleep. Once it gets a little rainy and cloudy,
we're so ready for fall. We jumped to the closet
stuff too quick.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Maybe exactly, that's exactly what happened. I was like, it's
a little rainy outside, I'm definitely going to the closet.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, hold on, you're up early early in the morning
for your morning show and be nine five and it's chili.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, it was cold and it was damp, and it
was still coming down a little bit. So at that
time you were right. I was dressed appropriately. But now
you look at the sun shining weather, it's fantastic. I
wish the dogs were playing here tomorrow, but they're on
the road in Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I love how coach Jens was saying, we're not
gonna let them get into the traps and the rabbit
holes on this trip right here, and I read I
think it was GV wire comment in there talking about
how the coach said, guys, when you think Hawaii what
do you think of he said, to the whole team,
and he said, when they all got done, he said,
not one of y'all said football.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
M And see, that's the thing that's the problem. That's
the trap.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And the one I will say about going to play
against Hawaii, that's a team that's focused, that's a team
that's dedicated. That's a team that's three and one. And anytime,
anytime you see that Hawaii football team, they're ready to
go ahead and knock you out. I talked to David
Carr a little bit earlier this week. The one thing
that he said was when I think of Hawaii, I
think about the fact that it was one of the
(02:20):
hardest hits I ever took in my college.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Football career from one of the wait what's your name?
The Rainbow Warriors.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Rainbow Warriors, I said, that's a that's you gotta win.
If you're gonna have that, yeah, man, you gotta win.
And they are this year three and one. The Dogs
are three and one. I think after that first week,
we're very excited that it's three and one. Open Mountain
West play coming up, and the game kickoff is gonna
be a little late around the old Valley nine pm.
(02:48):
But that's nothing East Coast football. That's you know, Monday
night football starts at a sou They're they're used to it,
you know, out here a little late though.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
But it's gonna be late. Let's be real.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
This game is gonna finish well after midnight. So you're
thinking to yourself, okay, Frisnoe State football starts at nine.
A lot of people are gonna be in different sort
of establishments. They're gonna be in some bars. There may
be a table mountain inside the Blue Old grill, But
I mean nine o'clock on a Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
They might be at home trying to stay away. Oh
you know, you canny, you're ready to go to sleep.
I'm I'm describing me for so those out there that
that might be a little late on a Saturday night
for you. I'm suggesting a Saturday afternoon two thirty three o'clock,
little nap, take a little nap to do your pregame,
prep to be ready to stay up.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
See you go with nap. I'm like, just get some
red bulling. You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well I start the day with that. That didn't last
too long. Hey, I'm you know they say, the more
and longer, you need more and more, just like a
drug addict. I think I'm at the point to stay
at that first rock star level that I I'd need
to drink nine of them now or something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
See one is all I need because I don't drink
a lot of red Bull. I don't drink a lot
of caffeine. In general. I don't drink too much coffee.
So one cup of coffee gets me through the day.
The red Bull would he replaced the nap and I'd
be ready to go.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hey, we're simulcass and first time we've ever done it
in the iHeart building this year. That's right with Power
Talk and Fox Sports thirteen forty which k can be
heard every afternoon at three o'clock there and he does
morning show of course on B ninety five. And I'm
out all fall along. We're gonna be out with Trouszlo
State Fridays before every football game again. That kickoff is
at nine and you and you and Kenny ready to
(04:26):
roll about seven, right.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So we're gonna start at seven. We're gonna start out
Table Mountain. It's gonna be a great time out there.
Get it to the Blue Oak grill. We're gonna be
doing the pregame show before they take over from the stadium,
and then we'll be there at halftime as well. I'm
not sure if we're gonna be doing the post post
game because that's gonna be kind of late, but we'll
figure that out.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
We may be back at the radio station, but if
we are in the casino, it could be two o'clock
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So you're prepared to start your work day on Saturday
and end it on Sunday. You just don't know how
late endto Sunday or early into Sunday. Exactly exactly. Hey,
describe the the ambiance when you and Kenny do that.
I have to apologize for never coming up and shitting
with you guys, but describe what that's like up there.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
First of all, it's fantastic wearing a table mountain the place.
It's packed inside the Blue Oak Grill, so you have
people at the bar, you have people playing little slot
machines in there. Of course there's some music playing. But
the one thing I love is that on all the
tables you have, I mean all the TVs, you get
so many football games. So when you walk in every
single TV is on a different football game. You can
(05:29):
even ask him to change it if you really want
to and say, hey, can you put this game on
this one. They'll do their best to accommodate. But it's
like a great place to go watch sports, enjoy. And
then you have the giant TV screen, the one that
may be the biggest TV screen in the valley, the
equivalent to like you're going to the movie theaters and
that's where we watch the dogs get down and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I bet you hear the crowd with the.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Roar and yeah, yeah, good times.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well interesting to see here. Fessnel State leads the all
time series against Hawaii to twenty five and there was
one tie. I guess back in the day that would
have been they stopping it double over time. I don't
know when the how they do all.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That, but here's the thing, it's always a trap when
you go to the Rock. They know it, we know
it not. I think the smart thing that they did
this year was they left on Thursday. There's been coaches
previously that will leave on Friday, but they left early
Thursday so that way they can get acclimated, do a
run through at nine o'clock at night, our time. So
(06:30):
that way the players get used to practicing and playing
at nine pm. So for example, tonight, they're not starting
any of their festivities until nine pm Pacific time. Now
they're not gonna go through a practice like a normal practice,
but they're gonna go through a little one or run
through a walk through. I guess is the best way
of putting it. Last night at nine PMR time, tonight
(06:51):
at nine PMR time, and then you all we put
that all together. That just gets your body ready and
to deal with that time zone, that change that you.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Deal with there. And the humidity. Yeah, I was just
saying before we went live here, I went you can
feel a little bit because of all the rain we
had come to here, but nothing like there. They're saying, no, no,
eighty percent forecast humidity there. And you've been down in Alabama.
I've been in Tennessee. We know about that humidity. Yeah,
I've never experienced the island humidities.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Have you ever been to awa Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
No, I've been to Awai. It's a great time. Went there,
me and my wife. We had a fantastic time of
the year.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Were you there? We went during the summertime.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Was a humidity kind of like that southern humidity feel.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Nothing's like that. No, you're right, there's not a comparison
to that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You get off the plane in Alabama, you get off
the plane in Georgia, you get off the plane in Tennessee,
and your clothes stick to you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Okay, So it's not that dress not that bad, or
maybe it was, but you just saw the beautiful beach
and it didn't even phase youa of the beauty there.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, you know what, you bring up a good point
because when I get off the plane in places like Georgia,
in Alabama, in Tennessee, I'm not like, oh man, this
is fantastic. I'm not waiting to get a ridge. I'm
not waiting to put a layer around my neck. So
maybe I'm just not in the frame of mind. The
first thing I say is, damn it's hot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yes, right, you're not. You know, it's the destination with
the humidity exactly. Yes, you can be out on the
beach and all right, you'd be out of humidity in
a subway in New York, exact same thing, and it's
triple hot.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You like this, two damn hot it is.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, they're gonna get him out there and let them
experience it at the exact same time, playing under the
exact same I guess they were going to a high
school or something. I read to go practice. Tommy excuse me,
Timmy Chang. You remember his name from the early two thousand.
He was a quarterback then. Yes, he's a team tech
coach now. And please explain to me the offense that
(08:41):
they run. They said they do four four receivers. Man,
it's like running shoot. Remember running shoot at the old
Houston Oilers used to have back in the day, Houston Oilers. Then, hey,
would Jeffries those sorts of receivers. Warren Moon was the
quarterback at the time, and it would just be like, man,
we're out there, we're guns slinging, We're having a good time.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Four different receivers. Everybody's gonna get a share of the rock.
That's kind of the way that Hawaii plays. So tomorrow,
when you watch this football game, you gotta be watching
the matchup with our secondary and their receivers. How are
we gonna match up with our defensive secondary and the
fact that they have so many receivers on the field
that they're just gonna be going all over the place.
(09:23):
I want to say, last week at halftime, I looked
at the quarterback stats.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I think he had like two hundred yards already.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So all the other teams that they'll be playing aren't
doing this none in shootoutfense. So the defense for one
game is gonna have to kind of change to be prepared.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so you're gonna see maybe our nickelback get a
lot of action that they wouldn't normally get. So when
it comes to the difference making dog tomorrow, I may
pick someone like Simmey and Harris because he's gonna be
on the field for the majority of the time as
opposed to going in there only for third down.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
All right, well three and one right now, big, big weekend,
last weekend. Just everybody's so excited. This is the first opening.
Explain for people what these last games have been like
for some of the maybe non football people and what
going into Mountain West actually means.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So the last four games, the way you have to
look at is it's all about getting you ready for
the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is winning the Mountain
West Championship title and getting to that bowl game. You
win the mount West Championship title, there you are in
contention for so many other things. So when you went
to play against Kansas, or you have a game like
Georgia Southern or Southern at home, you just want to
(10:30):
get in there and just do everything that you possibly
can to work out every kink possible to be ready
for Hawaii this week. And I think finally, finally, when
you look at what EJ. Warner was able to do
last week, you have to think to yourself, it looks
like we're clicking. It looks like we're gonna win the
battle in the trenches. Our running backs are ready for this.
I think finally we can say after what we saw
(10:52):
week one that now we see the true identity of
this Fresno State football team. And those four games, the
ones I just mentioned, we're all about preparation for Hawaii tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So it is the term preseason that's not fair to use,
is it, But at oh Okay pre conference pre conference.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think that's probably the best way to go about it.
You call it pre conference because I mean, preseason is
something that they do in the NFL, and they know
it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You could go in oh and form win the Mountain West. Yes, exactly,
all right, But.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I mean obviously you don't get the respect right nationally.
They're like, oh, man, this is a cupcake team. Yeah,
then that must say the conference must be week If
you go Zho to four and then you go on
too Mountain West play, they're gonna look at our conference like, man,
that must be one of the weakest conferences out there
in the country. Hey, how was uh Party in the park?
(11:40):
Sunday Party in the park? Good time man, Party in
the Park, Boots in the Park. I will say this.
They do such a great job at Woodward Park with
this show. They get in, they get out, they clean up.
It's efficient. You drive past Woodward Park at eleven o'clock,
you wouldn't even know what concert.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Was there, and there's no news headlines, anything bad, nothing crazy.
Everybody just apply to everybody else way to go and
way to have a good time.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Pitt Bull did an amazing job. You have everyone that
performed unbelievable. So I can't wait for the next time
they do a Boots in the Park Party in the Park.
I suggest everybody go out there, have themselves a good time,
hang out with your family and friends.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well, if you want to hang out with family and friends.
September September twenty six at Hobbs Grove. We got your
Midland tickets Country Artists Midland if you come on out
here to he know Oehi at Campus Point. I was
out here and I thought, Oh, aren't these college dorms awesome?
I'm looking at him and I looking fifty five plus.
It's a mixture going on here.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It is.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's a fifty five and over community, and I thought
it was for calling. Yes, you're right, yes, So I thought,
let me go check on how much that is. I
can speed the young guy around the place.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right Oh, you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Know what I'm liking right now, I'm digging on the
fact that everybody's ordering their sushi, get their beers and hands.
I'm not mad at this. This is starting to turn
out to be a nice little event on the pack.
What kind of brew you got there, Jeffrey Modello, Okay Modello, Well,
there's a lot more where them came from. And we
got Midland tickets and Fresno State swag. If you come
(13:09):
out here and hit three in a row with corn
dog Hole, which that new game is sweeping, the sweeping
the valley is corn dog Hole. It's cornhole on Fresno
State Friday. So it's corn dog Hole gets your tickets
at Midland September twenty six and also if you can
only hit two in a row, we'll give you tickets
to Greek Fest. It's a Trevor Nation with Ck all
over the Place tour live from he oh e shee.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
There you go. Southern They played that the band.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, the band was amazing, wasn't it. You described to
me that when you saw them kind of messing around
and doing, you know, like warming up a little bit right.
But when you heard them all in Unison the first time,
you said it was like soul piercing sound.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Like it hit your soul as soon as you walked
down the ram and you hear that band from Southern play.
You couldn't hear the PA announcement, You couldn't hear any
fans cheering, You couldn't hear what was going.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
On on the emergency alert system.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All you could hear with those horns blaring. I was like,
this is unbelievable at the level they play at.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Did the tuba bass vibrate Yeah? And the drums I
tell you you felt it. And here's the thing. They
are quite acrobatic in Unison fast while playing music, and
I'm gonna say I saw some big old boys out
there dancing around like they were on stage and they
did not mess up at all.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
One hundred percent right. I was thinking the same exact thing.
I was like, there's no way they're gonna get out
there be that a child, Yeah, okay, and then still
pick up the instrument and play like they have lost
no breath.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I know, I know they did exactly that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So needless to say, it was one of the best
performances I've seen. And I'm not taking anything away from
our great Frisno State band. I think they always do
a fantas bastic job. Just two different type of bands.
And it was an honor to see the human Jukebox
at Frisno State last week.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
And you know what Southern's coach said at the end
of the game and their head back to the airport,
at least we got a good band. Guys, Hey, that's
exactly it. And you get meat what fifty six to seven? Yeah,
that's you got to say something like that, I would think.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But I mean, I think they're used to it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I think what happens is you have the HBCUs and
you know that they get some good athletes, not the
top tier athletes.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He had a white kicker. Yeah, are you sure?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
How does that change I've seen I didn't know athletes
at for years.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I had no idea. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So what a sock it was to me?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
When I saw him run out there, I was like, wait,
hold up, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's a historically black college, but everyone's accepted.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Okay, all right, Well there it is. That's quite a
quite a thought I had at that moment. I was like,
look at this guy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
He's a pioneer man. He's breaking barriers out there.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah. Uh, I mean I think there's what two or
three black kickers in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
There's a few.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You don't see many.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, I'm trying to think right now. I mean the
most famous one was the pun of Reggie Roby Pittsford,
he played for the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, Reggie Roby, Reggie Roby. Uh, let's see here. Uh, Johnny,
you want to come on up and see if you
can get three in a row at corn dog hole?

You can get tickets or Fresno State swag either, or
you can go look at that swag or the tickets.
You don't have to decide at this moment. We will
give you ten seconds nine eight seven, six five four.
You're good man. Hey, c K, I saw this article
Nebraska handed out second place rings to the wrestling team.
(18:33):
Have you ever heard University of Nebraska?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why because they got second place? Why? Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Looking kind of second place rings?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Runner up rings.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm glad you okay, good, I'm glad you had the
same reaction that I just had. Thank you for that,
right there.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No second place rings in college.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
No, uh uh, especially wrestling too.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Come on, I understand if you're doing it for elementary school.
I get that. I still don't elementary.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Sorry, if you get it excited, you know, you want
them to continue to do it and hopefully go on
to high school. Motivate them to stay with the sport.
Maybe they look at that number two and that second
place ring and they go, you know what, We're gonna
be better next time. But to reward a Division one
wrestling team second place rings, I just don't see that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It makes no sense to me.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well, what do you think about every kid getting to
play in Little League because their parents pay the money
and they get to be guaranteed three innings?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm okay with that, because you know why Little league
is the training ground. You know, you're not supposed to
go in there and win the World Series. You are no, no, no, no,
you don't go in there and you don't win the
World Series. What you do is you have the best
team and then yes, maybe you can make it to
the championship of your league. But at the end of
the day, they have an all star team for a reason.
They take the best players off the team. Then they
(19:54):
put you in a more competitive, competitive environment. But as
long as it's regular season, let them kids playing.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
There's a lot to learn with that that line drive
to right field going over your head because you broke
in as supposed to breaking back out right, everybody gets
to learn out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The only way that you learn is by being on
the field.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So if you take away those kids opportunities to learn
in Little League, then that's where I kind of have
an issue with it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It shouldn't be that serious.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But what you're telling me right now is these kids
grown men, adults. Some of them can legally drink again
a second place trophy.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, up to dance like Bobby Brown and still not
sweat out today. I just this is like a picture
perfect ordered weather day. You can't sleep at night? Are
you tossing and turning?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You already knew who I was going with it.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That was Bobby nineteen eighty eight. I think and listen.
Ck I had so much fun. My dad said, your
dad had some funk.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We played c K's dad last week as you were
driving back home when you left after four o'clock. Right,
you got to hear it on them.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Gotta listen, man, that was the first time I ever
heard on the radio. That was fantastic. That was unbelievable.
Gave me chills.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Cek's dad was the funk meister of I guess seventy
five I'm in the Baltimart.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes, I think it was seventy five, seventy sixty that
was me.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
And now those horns were real. That's not keyboard horns
like today or no. Those That was a real symphony.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That was straight studio session musicianship right there.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Hey, it's a Trevor nation all over the place to
our live from. He know, Oehi right out here at
campus point by Fresno State. That is I guess the
one sixty eight in Shawls the best kind of corner area.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Right across from the Save Mart Center.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's another place to say, isn't it. We're simulcasting here
with Fox Sports thirteen forty. We'll be doing that every Friday,
Fresno State Fridays. The Bulldogs are getting ready now to
take on Hawaii the Rainbow Warriors. Both teams are three
and one tomorrow night. It's a later start nine clock
right here on Power Talk and towards thirteen forty and
all the other iHeart outlets, the iHeartRadio app as well.
(22:07):
C K and Kenny started off at seven pregame with
Paul coaching Cam at eight, and the kickoff at nine
o'clock here Fresno Time You just never know who you're
going to run into when you go out in the
public like this, and we just learned about something that
I think is something that we need to let Irena
Prado talk about. She's with the Fresnel County Veteran Service Office.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Irena, welcome, Thank you for having me this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
C K and I we run in this guy named Reginald.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I go what was he wanting?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And CEK goes, he's doing a veteran's hiring event and
I looked down. I said, oh close, Veterans Memorial justic
I went over and said hey to him and said,
we worked with Lorenzo Rios over there, and oh great,
and we were going to interview him, and we didn't
know where he went, and then weird on us. Suddenly.
IRENA's like, Hi, I'm here to do the interview. Reginald,
(22:58):
Explain what happened? Why were you sitting? Were you at
your office?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I was sitting down at my office desk. I was
doing my work. My supervisor calls me says, hey, drop
what you're doing, show up at Heino Ouishi's and take
an interview for us.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That was interesting because Reggie was like, hey, guys, I'm
gonna use the phone and I'll be right back, and
I'll go ahead and be ready for the interview.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We're like, all right, Reggie will see in a minute. Baw.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Next thing, you know, we look up and you're here,
and you're like, I'm here for the interview. We're like,
what interview? And then you had to explain it to
us a couple of times because this whole time, we're like,
Reggie just went to use the phone, and he said
he was gonna be right back.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Sure enough, we see Reggie waving at you saying you
got this.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He passed it on to me.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Hey, Irena, a Veterans strategic hiring event. Do you know
how many veterans A lot of them go into the
military service right out of high school, so at eighteen,
that's been their whole career, and then when they get
out or are no longer serving our age, it's all
they've ever known.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
The real world can be.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Kind of weird and kind of sh and especially those
that have come back from war over the last twenty
five years.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I would definitely agree. We at the Fresno County Veterans
Service Office, we like to try to make contacts and
network with a bunch of different organizations here in Fresno
County as well as throughout the valley in order for
us to be able to help our veterans try to
make that transition as well as try to start their
compensation and pension claims. That's exactly what our office does.
(24:28):
We also take part in a committee it's called the
Central California Veterans Employment Committee. Along with the King's County Office.
We work with Workforce Connections and EDD and a couple
of other really wonderful groups.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
We help them jump through hoops because a lot of
it can be overwhelming. Absolutely, I've been unemployed a few
times in my life. I know, just dealing with unemployment
office and you got to get up in today. It's
even harder to get a real human anything. It doesn't
matter what it is, right, you guys are I guess
real humans. I work with real people.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
We are, and we're actually a couple of minutes away
from here. That's why I was able to show up
so quickly. We're down at thirteen twenty East Shaw Avenue,
Sweet one oh five. We like to consider ourselves the
hub of all veteran things. If you stop there, absolutely,
we're right there in the space.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Say it again, thirteen.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Twenty East Shaw Avenue.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
One three two zero each Shaw. You got to say
it kind of military like one one three two zero.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Yeah, any veterans, if you have any questions right now,
Our tuition fee waiver is quite hot, especially because school
just started. Students that may qualify for this tuition fee waiver.
The parent has to be a veteran.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Wait wait, wait, wait, you're saying a student if their
parent is a veteran, there's help for them as well.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Interesting, there's a couple of stipulations. Of course. Of course,
if a student shows up with questions, they can come
in and ask us all the questions. We can clarify
anything that they need clarified, and we can help them
with that process. Our office offers a lot of different services.
The CCVEC is one of the things that we also,
you know, take very much so pride in so we
(26:12):
try to do it all. If we can't do it
in our office, we're gonna hand you off to somebody
that can help you. We're not just gonna say, hey,
not our problem. We like to make sure that we
do a soft handoff and say hey, this is so
and so they're going to help you from now on.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So here's what I like about this event, the Veterans
Strategic Hiring event that's taking place. Yes, it says employers
are invited to connect with a pool of disciplined, skill
and career ready veterans. I love the fact that you're
gonna give veterans the opportunity. But not only are you
giving them the opportunity because they can receive same day
job offers, but you have a dress rehearsal that you're
(26:48):
requiring them to participate in to make sure that when
they meet for the main hiring event that they're ready
for the opportunity to be successful.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Talk about that.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Yes, absolutely, so we do have a required dress rehearsal.
It is Tuesday, October fourteenth at nine am. Also, it'll
be located at the Central Valley Clovis Veterans Memorial District.
I'm sorry they're required to participate in that one because
that's the day where we help them. We go over
their resume, We help them create a resume if they
(27:19):
need it. We help them kind of do a mock
interview so they say that way they can get over
the nerves of it.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
You say, dressed different a dress like No, No, it's
a dress rehearsal. But you say, hey, dress differently than that.
Don't come dress like you? Do you get that involved
with them?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yes, absolutely, And if a veteran does not have a
an interview attire, shirt or slacks, we provide those things
for them. Real we are setting them up for as
much success as possible. We're doing everything we can to
be there to support our veterans and to help them
find the necessary connections that they need, especially when it
(27:56):
comes to work.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I mean, you can't tell it driving down street, but
you might know it a little bit more than anybody here.
How many of the homeless that we see, I mean,
how many you get a lot of homeless veterans you
get calls on?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Absolutely too many, far too many.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
So they're just not taking advantage of the tools that
are there for them.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Right once they come into our office, we're able to
connect them to the places and people that they are.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I would think that would take a lot more tender,
a lot more involvement, doesn't it than just your average veteran.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That's correct, But we treat every veteran with respect and
the same courtesies. No veteran is any different, whether you
serve time during war or whether you barely made it
out of boot camp. We're still going to take care
of you. You are still a veteran, and come and
see us. K.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Do you ever think about it in high school, anytime
after serving that that ever cross your mind?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I didn't want to die. I didn't want to die. Yeah.
I went in at the county fair. I guess, out
of our group of guys, that's the only guy to
give Sergeant Lord my number, which meant the home phone
back then, and he kept calling. My dad said, well,
if you signed up, go down there and talk to him.
So I went down to talk to Sergeant Lord and
he said, and I just came up with him. I said,
maybe MPs don't have to go around the world and
(29:08):
get blown up. Yes, sir, I'd like to be an MP.
So he's all typing it in nineteen eighty two computer
and gee prince down. He goes, m how tall is
your father? I go five eleven. He's like, how tall
is your younger brother? I go out as tall as
my dad. He goes, well, you'll grow son, you'll be
five nine one day. You had to be five nine
to be an MP. But and I said, Sergeant Lord,
I have my heart set on that. Thank you, sir.
(29:29):
When I get five nine, I'll come back here and
talk to Uncle Sam. And he he kept he called
the house, trying to talk me into something else, and
I kept saying, no, MP was my.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
So that's what you stuck to.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yes, yes, it kind of fell in my lap.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Right, how tall are you.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
With these boots? On five seven, five to five and three?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Lord said, we are making sure you never have to
go to the military. The Lord said, you know what,
You're not gonna go with my son.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, you know what?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
You know why at ten years old when my dad,
before he went back to seminary and became a preacher,
he was in radio and on Saturday, I go in
and demagnetize all those carts.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Shah, you know what you're talking.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
About that stunted my growth. It's the demagnetizing of those
carts during those ten eleven twelve year old growth years.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's what happened. All right, He'll be five with.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
His son, Sergeant Lord to come calling for you there? Uh,
Irena Prado thank you for talking with us and laughing
with us here. Did you ever did you ever serve
or did you ever know?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Actually, my brother is currently serving. He's a couple of
years away from retiring. What branch is he He is

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, well, thank you, thank you for what you do.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
You bet you, Irena. It's Trevor c k on Sports
Fox Sports thirteen forty. It is our Simuo cast the
Trevor Nation all over the place to her live from
He know oe, she he Knowyhi is a placed made I.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Just found out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's I was laughing at you saying he looks like
a Montreal Canadian.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, well it kind of the hat did all right,
Expo's hat. Don't you love those old Montreal Expo hats.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
They were the best.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
And I like when they would have on those powder
blue uniforms, right, white cleats and tim rains.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
There's something about the old school vibe and the old
school way that things were done, especially in sports, that
make you say that was the good days. Like when
you think about the old Padres uniforms, you think about
the old Milwaukee Bucks. You those monochromatic looks. Those are awesome.
What is set aside your loyalty? What is the best
NFL football uniform in all time?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Can you go out of side loyalty setting aside loyalty?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
If I have to pick one, and it's difficult because
I'm a packer backer, but if I have to pick one,
it would be the new England Patriots uniform.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
The old ones are the old one with the Patriots
with the Patriot with the football. Yeah, that was my favorite.
I'm gonna say. Out on the field, it's tough between
the Cowboys and Dolphins. Something about those two uniforms.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Just have the Dolphins even the old.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Dolphin looks Okay, I can see that they'd get kind
of weird lately.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But haven't the Cowboys worn the same uniform? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
so then how are you?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's just so if you don't get out of here,
all right, Baseball, what's your favorite baseball uniform or all?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You know what, If I have to pick one baseball
uniform of all time, I'm gonna have to go with
This is a tough one. I mean, I'm a Mets fan,
but I will I'll go with the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Okay, the Cubs they changed it periodically. Yeah, I gotta
say maybe a Red sow. I'm a Boston I'm such
a simplistic I love their grades with just a cool
Boston across the front.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Do you see how we went back to New England? Yeah,
everything cycles back to New England sports. I guess so there. Basketball,
I can't really think of many.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I just loved that.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, that was it, And it's something how they didn't
have when I was watching that, like as a kid
and teenager, the Lakers and Celtics. There wasn't air conditioning
in there wasn't. That's something that had in the in
the Boston Garden before.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's crazy to think about, Like they wear them old
Chuck Taylor's Yeah, we know ac On.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know their feet was sweating.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just think at the announcers and everybody, the cheerleads with those.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Tube socks on.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
That went all the way up with the Uh you
think the seventies and eighties basketball shorts? Do you think
everything cycles? You know that right from from.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Coming back not going back? Those shorts are not coming
back period in the story.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
All right, I hope not. No, it looks weird to
see old Kurt Rambis and Cooper Jamal Wilkes, they had
all those I wonder what team started. Did you remember
who got the credit for starting to belonger?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You know what, I don't know. I remember the Fab Five.
I remember their style, their swag. They brought the baggy shorts.
I remember them. I don't know who I would give
credit to in the NBA. Maybe I would say Alan
Iverson for changing the whole look, but I mean I
had to do some research on that.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But for sure the Fab Five.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
All right, we got mister politics and mister sports here
last week we heard e r A. I thought equal
writs amendment you start earn run average average. I gotta
ask you, mister sports. I've heard some of this. What
is all this stuff about the tush push that I'm
hearing about with the Eagles, And I heard Kelsey talking
about it as well.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, first of all, I don't understand what the issue is.
It's a legal football play.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Describe when it happens.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I mean, you'll see it when you watch the Philadelphia
Eagles play. They're famous for the tush push. They've done the.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Tush pushing, the super Bowl, you name it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And all I'm saying is, if you can't stop it,
you can't defend it, don't complain about it. Figure out
a way to stop it. You basically get behind the
quarterback and you use his tush and you push, You
push with every ounce of fiber in your being as
the running back and the full back behind him, and
you push that tush.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You push that tush to it can't be pushed no more.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Why don't they get in the I formation, three of
them and just all of them pushing. So are the
Eagles The only ones that are trying to pull this.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Are the only ones that do it a fight.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I'm sure other people trying to practice well because they
don't know how to do it. Someone someone actually taught
Philadelphia how to do it, and they're not sharing the secrets.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
With anyone, all right. I had to ask you that
I wasn't quite sure what it was. It's the tremornation
all over the place to her twenty twenty five on
the Valley's Power Talk
How are you good to be with you?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Fantastic man? He know he she cannot wait to get
a little tapping' yaki. That's what I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Hey, I said a few days ago in the air,
if I have my last meal on death Row, I'd say,
give me the whole appetizer menu from he know o Ishi.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's what I said. They make delicious sushi.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
I like the one thing that they do where they
do it on the grill there the tipping' yaki, but
then they put it back inside the lobster tail man.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
That's delicious as well.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
No, that's not on the appetizer menu. I need to
go further again. That sounds incredible. Well. And then a
week and a half ago or whenever this was announced,
I thought they said, and you're gonna be outside on
the patio, and I right, all right, good, we're looking
forward to going out there. And then it hit me
in what ninety nine hundred and one, I thought we
could not have ordered up if we ordered this day.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know what, I'm happy the day turned out the
way it did. It's a cool breeze. I got my
hoodie on.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I know, Okayle made it a lot of people would say, really,
but we're in the shade.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
It's a little but.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hoody goes off tomorrow though, because it's gonna get a
little hot again.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, that's all right. I saw people at work with
long sleep. Once it gets a little rainy and cloudy,
we're so ready for fall. We jumped to the closet
stuff too quick.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Maybe exactly, that's exactly what happened. I was like, it's
a little rainy outside, I'm definitely going to the closet.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, hold on, you're up early early in the morning
for your morning show and be nine five and it's chili.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
No, it was cold and it was damp, and it
was still coming down a little bit. So at that
time you were right. I was dressed appropriately. But now
you look at the sun shining weather, it's fantastic. I
wish the dogs were playing here tomorrow, but they're on
the road in Hawaii.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I love how coach Jens was saying, we're not
gonna let them get into the traps and the rabbit
holes on this trip right here, and I read I
think it was GV wire comment in there talking about
how the coach said, guys, when you think Hawaii what
do you think of he said, to the whole team,
and he said, when they all got done, he said,
not one of y'all said football.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
M And see, that's the thing that's the problem. That's
the trap.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
And the one I will say about going to play
against Hawaii, that's a team that's focused, that's a team
that's dedicated. That's a team that's three and one. And anytime,
anytime you see that Hawaii football team, they're ready to
go ahead and knock you out. I talked to David
Carr a little bit earlier this week. The one thing
that he said was when I think of Hawaii, I
think about the fact that it was one of the
(02:20):
hardest hits I ever took in my college.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Football career from one of the wait what's your name?
The Rainbow Warriors.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Rainbow Warriors, I said, that's a that's you gotta win.
If you're gonna have that, yeah, man, you gotta win.
And they are this year three and one. The Dogs
are three and one. I think after that first week,
we're very excited that it's three and one. Open Mountain
West play coming up, and the game kickoff is gonna
be a little late around the old Valley nine pm.
(02:48):
But that's nothing East Coast football. That's you know, Monday
night football starts at a sou They're they're used to it,
you know, out here a little late though.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
But it's gonna be late. Let's be real.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
This game is gonna finish well after midnight. So you're
thinking to yourself, okay, Frisnoe State football starts at nine.
A lot of people are gonna be in different sort
of establishments. They're gonna be in some bars. There may
be a table mountain inside the Blue Old grill, But
I mean nine o'clock on a Saturday night.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
They might be at home trying to stay away. Oh
you know, you canny, you're ready to go to sleep.
I'm I'm describing me for so those out there that
that might be a little late on a Saturday night
for you. I'm suggesting a Saturday afternoon two thirty three o'clock,
little nap, take a little nap to do your pregame,
prep to be ready to stay up.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
See you go with nap. I'm like, just get some
red bulling. You're good to go.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Well I start the day with that. That didn't last
too long. Hey, I'm you know they say, the more
and longer, you need more and more, just like a
drug addict. I think I'm at the point to stay
at that first rock star level that I I'd need
to drink nine of them now or something.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
See one is all I need because I don't drink
a lot of red Bull. I don't drink a lot
of caffeine. In general. I don't drink too much coffee.
So one cup of coffee gets me through the day.
The red Bull would he replaced the nap and I'd
be ready to go.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Hey, we're simulcass and first time we've ever done it
in the iHeart building this year. That's right with Power
Talk and Fox Sports thirteen forty which k can be
heard every afternoon at three o'clock there and he does
morning show of course on B ninety five. And I'm
out all fall along. We're gonna be out with Trouszlo
State Fridays before every football game again. That kickoff is
at nine and you and you and Kenny ready to
(04:26):
roll about seven, right.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So we're gonna start at seven. We're gonna start out
Table Mountain. It's gonna be a great time out there.
Get it to the Blue Oak grill. We're gonna be
doing the pregame show before they take over from the stadium,
and then we'll be there at halftime as well. I'm
not sure if we're gonna be doing the post post
game because that's gonna be kind of late, but we'll
figure that out.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
We may be back at the radio station, but if
we are in the casino, it could be two o'clock
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So you're prepared to start your work day on Saturday
and end it on Sunday. You just don't know how
late endto Sunday or early into Sunday. Exactly exactly. Hey,
describe the the ambiance when you and Kenny do that.
I have to apologize for never coming up and shitting
with you guys, but describe what that's like up there.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
First of all, it's fantastic wearing a table mountain the place.
It's packed inside the Blue Oak Grill, so you have
people at the bar, you have people playing little slot
machines in there. Of course there's some music playing. But
the one thing I love is that on all the
tables you have, I mean all the TVs, you get
so many football games. So when you walk in every
single TV is on a different football game. You can
(05:29):
even ask him to change it if you really want
to and say, hey, can you put this game on
this one. They'll do their best to accommodate. But it's
like a great place to go watch sports, enjoy. And
then you have the giant TV screen, the one that
may be the biggest TV screen in the valley, the
equivalent to like you're going to the movie theaters and
that's where we watch the dogs get down and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I bet you hear the crowd with the.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Roar and yeah, yeah, good times.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well interesting to see here. Fessnel State leads the all
time series against Hawaii to twenty five and there was
one tie. I guess back in the day that would
have been they stopping it double over time. I don't
know when the how they do all.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
That, but here's the thing, it's always a trap when
you go to the Rock. They know it, we know
it not. I think the smart thing that they did
this year was they left on Thursday. There's been coaches
previously that will leave on Friday, but they left early
Thursday so that way they can get acclimated, do a
run through at nine o'clock at night, our time. So
(06:30):
that way the players get used to practicing and playing
at nine pm. So for example, tonight, they're not starting
any of their festivities until nine pm Pacific time. Now
they're not gonna go through a practice like a normal practice,
but they're gonna go through a little one or run
through a walk through. I guess is the best way
of putting it. Last night at nine PMR time, tonight
(06:51):
at nine PMR time, and then you all we put
that all together. That just gets your body ready and
to deal with that time zone, that change that you.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Deal with there. And the humidity. Yeah, I was just
saying before we went live here, I went you can
feel a little bit because of all the rain we
had come to here, but nothing like there. They're saying, no, no,
eighty percent forecast humidity there. And you've been down in Alabama.
I've been in Tennessee. We know about that humidity. Yeah,
I've never experienced the island humidities.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Have you ever been to awa Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
No, I've been to Awai. It's a great time. Went there,
me and my wife. We had a fantastic time of
the year.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Were you there? We went during the summertime.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Was a humidity kind of like that southern humidity feel.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Nothing's like that. No, you're right, there's not a comparison
to that.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You get off the plane in Alabama, you get off
the plane in Georgia, you get off the plane in Tennessee,
and your clothes stick to you.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Okay, So it's not that dress not that bad, or
maybe it was, but you just saw the beautiful beach
and it didn't even phase youa of the beauty there.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well, you know what, you bring up a good point
because when I get off the plane in places like Georgia,
in Alabama, in Tennessee, I'm not like, oh man, this
is fantastic. I'm not waiting to get a ridge. I'm
not waiting to put a layer around my neck. So
maybe I'm just not in the frame of mind. The
first thing I say is, damn it's hot.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yes, right, you're not. You know, it's the destination with
the humidity exactly. Yes, you can be out on the
beach and all right, you'd be out of humidity in
a subway in New York, exact same thing, and it's
triple hot.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You like this, two damn hot it is.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Well, they're gonna get him out there and let them
experience it at the exact same time, playing under the
exact same I guess they were going to a high
school or something. I read to go practice. Tommy excuse me,
Timmy Chang. You remember his name from the early two thousand.
He was a quarterback then. Yes, he's a team tech
coach now. And please explain to me the offense that
(08:41):
they run. They said they do four four receivers. Man,
it's like running shoot. Remember running shoot at the old
Houston Oilers used to have back in the day, Houston Oilers. Then, hey,
would Jeffries those sorts of receivers. Warren Moon was the
quarterback at the time, and it would just be like, man,
we're out there, we're guns slinging, We're having a good time.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Four different receivers. Everybody's gonna get a share of the rock.
That's kind of the way that Hawaii plays. So tomorrow,
when you watch this football game, you gotta be watching
the matchup with our secondary and their receivers. How are
we gonna match up with our defensive secondary and the
fact that they have so many receivers on the field
that they're just gonna be going all over the place.
(09:23):
I want to say, last week at halftime, I looked
at the quarterback stats.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I think he had like two hundred yards already.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So all the other teams that they'll be playing aren't
doing this none in shootoutfense. So the defense for one
game is gonna have to kind of change to be prepared.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so you're gonna see maybe our nickelback get a
lot of action that they wouldn't normally get. So when
it comes to the difference making dog tomorrow, I may
pick someone like Simmey and Harris because he's gonna be
on the field for the majority of the time as
opposed to going in there only for third down.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
All right, well three and one right now, big, big weekend,
last weekend. Just everybody's so excited. This is the first opening.
Explain for people what these last games have been like
for some of the maybe non football people and what
going into Mountain West actually means.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So the last four games, the way you have to
look at is it's all about getting you ready for
the ultimate goal. The ultimate goal is winning the Mountain
West Championship title and getting to that bowl game. You
win the mount West Championship title, there you are in
contention for so many other things. So when you went
to play against Kansas, or you have a game like
Georgia Southern or Southern at home, you just want to
(10:30):
get in there and just do everything that you possibly
can to work out every kink possible to be ready
for Hawaii this week. And I think finally, finally, when
you look at what EJ. Warner was able to do
last week, you have to think to yourself, it looks
like we're clicking. It looks like we're gonna win the
battle in the trenches. Our running backs are ready for this.
I think finally we can say after what we saw
(10:52):
week one that now we see the true identity of
this Fresno State football team. And those four games, the
ones I just mentioned, we're all about preparation for Hawaii tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So it is the term preseason that's not fair to use,
is it, But at oh Okay pre conference pre conference.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I think that's probably the best way to go about it.
You call it pre conference because I mean, preseason is
something that they do in the NFL, and they know
it doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You could go in oh and form win the Mountain West. Yes, exactly,
all right, But.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I mean obviously you don't get the respect right nationally.
They're like, oh, man, this is a cupcake team. Yeah,
then that must say the conference must be week If
you go Zho to four and then you go on
too Mountain West play, they're gonna look at our conference like, man,
that must be one of the weakest conferences out there
in the country. Hey, how was uh Party in the park?
(11:40):
Sunday Party in the park? Good time man, Party in
the Park, Boots in the Park. I will say this.
They do such a great job at Woodward Park with
this show. They get in, they get out, they clean up.
It's efficient. You drive past Woodward Park at eleven o'clock,
you wouldn't even know what concert.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Was there, and there's no news headlines, anything bad, nothing crazy.
Everybody just apply to everybody else way to go and
way to have a good time.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Pitt Bull did an amazing job. You have everyone that
performed unbelievable. So I can't wait for the next time
they do a Boots in the Park Party in the Park.
I suggest everybody go out there, have themselves a good time,
hang out with your family and friends.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well, if you want to hang out with family and friends.
September September twenty six at Hobbs Grove. We got your
Midland tickets Country Artists Midland if you come on out
here to he know Oehi at Campus Point. I was
out here and I thought, Oh, aren't these college dorms awesome?
I'm looking at him and I looking fifty five plus.
It's a mixture going on here.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It is.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
It's a fifty five and over community, and I thought
it was for calling. Yes, you're right, yes, So I thought,
let me go check on how much that is. I
can speed the young guy around the place.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Right Oh, you.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Know what I'm liking right now, I'm digging on the
fact that everybody's ordering their sushi, get their beers and hands.
I'm not mad at this. This is starting to turn
out to be a nice little event on the pack.
What kind of brew you got there, Jeffrey Modello, Okay Modello, Well,
there's a lot more where them came from. And we
got Midland tickets and Fresno State swag. If you come
(13:09):
out here and hit three in a row with corn
dog Hole, which that new game is sweeping, the sweeping
the valley is corn dog Hole. It's cornhole on Fresno
State Friday. So it's corn dog Hole gets your tickets
at Midland September twenty six and also if you can
only hit two in a row, we'll give you tickets
to Greek Fest. It's a Trevor Nation with Ck all
over the Place tour live from he oh e shee.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
There you go. Southern They played that the band.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, the band was amazing, wasn't it. You described to
me that when you saw them kind of messing around
and doing, you know, like warming up a little bit right.
But when you heard them all in Unison the first time,
you said it was like soul piercing sound.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Like it hit your soul as soon as you walked
down the ram and you hear that band from Southern play.
You couldn't hear the PA announcement, You couldn't hear any
fans cheering, You couldn't hear what was going.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
On on the emergency alert system.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
All you could hear with those horns blaring. I was like,
this is unbelievable at the level they play at.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Did the tuba bass vibrate Yeah? And the drums I
tell you you felt it. And here's the thing. They
are quite acrobatic in Unison fast while playing music, and
I'm gonna say I saw some big old boys out
there dancing around like they were on stage and they
did not mess up at all.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
One hundred percent right. I was thinking the same exact thing.
I was like, there's no way they're gonna get out
there be that a child, Yeah, okay, and then still
pick up the instrument and play like they have lost
no breath.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I know, I know they did exactly that.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So needless to say, it was one of the best
performances I've seen. And I'm not taking anything away from
our great Frisno State band. I think they always do
a fantas bastic job. Just two different type of bands.
And it was an honor to see the human Jukebox
at Frisno State last week.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
And you know what Southern's coach said at the end
of the game and their head back to the airport,
at least we got a good band. Guys, Hey, that's
exactly it. And you get meat what fifty six to seven? Yeah,
that's you got to say something like that, I would think.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
But I mean, I think they're used to it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I think what happens is you have the HBCUs and
you know that they get some good athletes, not the
top tier athletes.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
He had a white kicker. Yeah, are you sure?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
How does that change I've seen I didn't know athletes
at for years.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I had no idea. I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So what a sock it was to me?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
When I saw him run out there, I was like, wait,
hold up, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's a historically black college, but everyone's accepted.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Okay, all right, Well there it is. That's quite a
quite a thought I had at that moment. I was like,
look at this guy.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
He's a pioneer man. He's breaking barriers out there.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah. Uh, I mean I think there's what two or
three black kickers in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
There's a few.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You don't see many.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, I'm trying to think right now. I mean the
most famous one was the pun of Reggie Roby Pittsford,
he played for the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, Reggie Roby, Reggie Roby. Uh, let's see here. Uh, Johnny,
you want to come on up and see if you
can get three in a row at corn dog hole?
Right here? Uh? Johnny drove up from from l A.
See his brother Jeffrey. Uh, there's the right there. You
see those beanbags? You see that corn dog hole right
there from white where you are. Let's do three in

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Are we gonna give him like a warm up toss? Yeah,
go ahead, we'll give you a warm got to get
a warm up toss. You gotta get him a warm
up to feel four it. Okay, there you go. That's
your warm up toss. Now, good warm up?

Two in a row.
Speaker 2 (16:54):

a warm up. Here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Oh wait, okay, function that's going in. That's going in.
Faulty equipment, that counts as one. That's fine with me.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh, food orders off, almost almost hitting the sushi. Now, yeah,
the food through for here we go. Right, here we go.
I'm on Johnny Bucket.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, he even called him, he said Bucket, He said, Bucket. Hey,
we'll have to let Jeffery. You want to you want
to show your brother up, show him how to do it. Man,
Let Jeffrey get in there one time.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Come on, Jeffrey, I think, uh, I think we might
have a winter inter chicken dinner.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Here.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Let's see, all right, Jeffrey, here we go, Jeffrey, corn
dog hole, throw one ball. Let's see if you go
one out of three? One off there, one attitude, and
let's go.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Here we go, third one.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
There you go, yeah, winter winter Winter.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
There you go. Get your tickets right there. Congratulations, Jeffery.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You can get tickets or Fresno State swag either, or
you can go look at that swag or the tickets.
You don't have to decide at this moment. We will
give you ten seconds nine eight seven, six five four.
You're good man. Hey, c K, I saw this article
Nebraska handed out second place rings to the wrestling team.
(18:33):
Have you ever heard University of Nebraska?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why because they got second place? Why? Super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Looking kind of second place rings?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Runner up rings.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I'm glad you okay, good, I'm glad you had the
same reaction that I just had. Thank you for that,
right there.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No second place rings in college.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
No, uh uh, especially wrestling too.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Come on, I understand if you're doing it for elementary school.
I get that. I still don't elementary.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Sorry, if you get it excited, you know, you want
them to continue to do it and hopefully go on
to high school. Motivate them to stay with the sport.
Maybe they look at that number two and that second
place ring and they go, you know what, We're gonna
be better next time. But to reward a Division one
wrestling team second place rings, I just don't see that.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It makes no sense to me.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well, what do you think about every kid getting to
play in Little League because their parents pay the money
and they get to be guaranteed three innings?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I'm okay with that, because you know why Little league
is the training ground. You know, you're not supposed to
go in there and win the World Series. You are no, no, no, no,
you don't go in there and you don't win the
World Series. What you do is you have the best
team and then yes, maybe you can make it to
the championship of your league. But at the end of
the day, they have an all star team for a reason.
They take the best players off the team. Then they
(19:54):
put you in a more competitive, competitive environment. But as
long as it's regular season, let them kids playing.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
There's a lot to learn with that that line drive
to right field going over your head because you broke
in as supposed to breaking back out right, everybody gets
to learn out.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
The only way that you learn is by being on
the field.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So if you take away those kids opportunities to learn
in Little League, then that's where I kind of have
an issue with it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It shouldn't be that serious.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
But what you're telling me right now is these kids
grown men, adults. Some of them can legally drink again
a second place trophy.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, up to dance like Bobby Brown and still not
sweat out today. I just this is like a picture
perfect ordered weather day. You can't sleep at night? Are
you tossing and turning?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You already knew who I was going with it.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That was Bobby nineteen eighty eight. I think and listen.
Ck I had so much fun. My dad said, your
dad had some funk.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We played c K's dad last week as you were
driving back home when you left after four o'clock. Right,
you got to hear it on them.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Gotta listen, man, that was the first time I ever
heard on the radio. That was fantastic. That was unbelievable.
Gave me chills.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Cek's dad was the funk meister of I guess seventy
five I'm in the Baltimart.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yes, I think it was seventy five, seventy sixty that
was me.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
And now those horns were real. That's not keyboard horns
like today or no. Those That was a real symphony.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That was straight studio session musicianship right there.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Hey, it's a Trevor nation all over the place to
our live from. He know, Oehi right out here at
campus point by Fresno State. That is I guess the
one sixty eight in Shawls the best kind of corner area.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Right across from the Save Mart Center.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That's another place to say, isn't it. We're simulcasting here
with Fox Sports thirteen forty. We'll be doing that every Friday,
Fresno State Fridays. The Bulldogs are getting ready now to
take on Hawaii the Rainbow Warriors. Both teams are three
and one tomorrow night. It's a later start nine clock
right here on Power Talk and towards thirteen forty and
all the other iHeart outlets, the iHeartRadio app as well.
(22:07):
C K and Kenny started off at seven pregame with
Paul coaching Cam at eight, and the kickoff at nine
o'clock here Fresno Time You just never know who you're
going to run into when you go out in the
public like this, and we just learned about something that
I think is something that we need to let Irena
Prado talk about. She's with the Fresnel County Veteran Service Office.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Irena, welcome, Thank you for having me this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
C K and I we run in this guy named Reginald.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
I go what was he wanting?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And CEK goes, he's doing a veteran's hiring event and
I looked down. I said, oh close, Veterans Memorial justic
I went over and said hey to him and said,
we worked with Lorenzo Rios over there, and oh great,
and we were going to interview him, and we didn't
know where he went, and then weird on us. Suddenly.
IRENA's like, Hi, I'm here to do the interview. Reginald,
(22:58):
Explain what happened? Why were you sitting? Were you at
your office?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I was sitting down at my office desk. I was
doing my work. My supervisor calls me says, hey, drop
what you're doing, show up at Heino Ouishi's and take
an interview for us.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That was interesting because Reggie was like, hey, guys, I'm
gonna use the phone and I'll be right back, and
I'll go ahead and be ready for the interview.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
We're like, all right, Reggie will see in a minute. Baw.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Next thing, you know, we look up and you're here,
and you're like, I'm here for the interview. We're like,
what interview? And then you had to explain it to
us a couple of times because this whole time, we're like,
Reggie just went to use the phone, and he said
he was gonna be right back.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Sure enough, we see Reggie waving at you saying you
got this.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
He passed it on to me.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Hey, Irena, a Veterans strategic hiring event. Do you know
how many veterans A lot of them go into the
military service right out of high school, so at eighteen,
that's been their whole career, and then when they get
out or are no longer serving our age, it's all
they've ever known.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
The real world can be.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Kind of weird and kind of sh and especially those
that have come back from war over the last twenty
five years.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I would definitely agree. We at the Fresno County Veterans
Service Office, we like to try to make contacts and
network with a bunch of different organizations here in Fresno
County as well as throughout the valley in order for
us to be able to help our veterans try to
make that transition as well as try to start their
compensation and pension claims. That's exactly what our office does.
(24:28):
We also take part in a committee it's called the
Central California Veterans Employment Committee. Along with the King's County Office.
We work with Workforce Connections and EDD and a couple
of other really wonderful groups.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
We help them jump through hoops because a lot of
it can be overwhelming. Absolutely, I've been unemployed a few
times in my life. I know, just dealing with unemployment
office and you got to get up in today. It's
even harder to get a real human anything. It doesn't
matter what it is, right, you guys are I guess
real humans. I work with real people.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
We are, and we're actually a couple of minutes away
from here. That's why I was able to show up
so quickly. We're down at thirteen twenty East Shaw Avenue,
Sweet one oh five. We like to consider ourselves the
hub of all veteran things. If you stop there, absolutely,
we're right there in the space.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Say it again, thirteen.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Twenty East Shaw Avenue.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
One three two zero each Shaw. You got to say
it kind of military like one one three two zero.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Yeah, any veterans, if you have any questions right now,
Our tuition fee waiver is quite hot, especially because school
just started. Students that may qualify for this tuition fee waiver.
The parent has to be a veteran.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Wait wait, wait, wait, you're saying a student if their
parent is a veteran, there's help for them as well.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Interesting, there's a couple of stipulations. Of course. Of course,
if a student shows up with questions, they can come
in and ask us all the questions. We can clarify
anything that they need clarified, and we can help them
with that process. Our office offers a lot of different services.
The CCVEC is one of the things that we also,
you know, take very much so pride in so we
(26:12):
try to do it all. If we can't do it
in our office, we're gonna hand you off to somebody
that can help you. We're not just gonna say, hey,
not our problem. We like to make sure that we
do a soft handoff and say hey, this is so
and so they're going to help you from now on.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
So here's what I like about this event, the Veterans
Strategic Hiring event that's taking place. Yes, it says employers
are invited to connect with a pool of disciplined, skill
and career ready veterans. I love the fact that you're
gonna give veterans the opportunity. But not only are you
giving them the opportunity because they can receive same day
job offers, but you have a dress rehearsal that you're
(26:48):
requiring them to participate in to make sure that when
they meet for the main hiring event that they're ready
for the opportunity to be successful.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Talk about that.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Yes, absolutely, so we do have a required dress rehearsal.
It is Tuesday, October fourteenth at nine am. Also, it'll
be located at the Central Valley Clovis Veterans Memorial District.
I'm sorry they're required to participate in that one because
that's the day where we help them. We go over
their resume, We help them create a resume if they
(27:19):
need it. We help them kind of do a mock
interview so they say that way they can get over
the nerves of it.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
You say, dressed different a dress like No, No, it's
a dress rehearsal. But you say, hey, dress differently than that.
Don't come dress like you? Do you get that involved
with them?
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yes, absolutely, And if a veteran does not have a
an interview attire, shirt or slacks, we provide those things
for them. Real we are setting them up for as
much success as possible. We're doing everything we can to
be there to support our veterans and to help them
find the necessary connections that they need, especially when it
(27:56):
comes to work.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
I mean, you can't tell it driving down street, but
you might know it a little bit more than anybody here.
How many of the homeless that we see, I mean,
how many you get a lot of homeless veterans you
get calls on?
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Absolutely too many, far too many.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
So they're just not taking advantage of the tools that
are there for them.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Right once they come into our office, we're able to
connect them to the places and people that they are.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I would think that would take a lot more tender,
a lot more involvement, doesn't it than just your average veteran.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That's correct, But we treat every veteran with respect and
the same courtesies. No veteran is any different, whether you
serve time during war or whether you barely made it
out of boot camp. We're still going to take care
of you. You are still a veteran, and come and
see us. K.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Do you ever think about it in high school, anytime
after serving that that ever cross your mind?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Hmm.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I didn't want to die. I didn't want to die. Yeah.
I went in at the county fair. I guess, out
of our group of guys, that's the only guy to
give Sergeant Lord my number, which meant the home phone
back then, and he kept calling. My dad said, well,
if you signed up, go down there and talk to him.
So I went down to talk to Sergeant Lord and
he said, and I just came up with him. I said,
maybe MPs don't have to go around the world and
(29:08):
get blown up. Yes, sir, I'd like to be an MP.
So he's all typing it in nineteen eighty two computer
and gee prince down. He goes, m how tall is
your father? I go five eleven. He's like, how tall
is your younger brother? I go out as tall as
my dad. He goes, well, you'll grow son, you'll be
five nine one day. You had to be five nine
to be an MP. But and I said, Sergeant Lord,
I have my heart set on that. Thank you, sir.
(29:29):
When I get five nine, I'll come back here and
talk to Uncle Sam. And he he kept he called
the house, trying to talk me into something else, and
I kept saying, no, MP was my.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
So that's what you stuck to.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Yes, yes, it kind of fell in my lap.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Right, how tall are you.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
With these boots? On five seven, five to five and three?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Lord said, we are making sure you never have to
go to the military. The Lord said, you know what,
You're not gonna go with my son.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, you know what?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
You know why at ten years old when my dad,
before he went back to seminary and became a preacher,
he was in radio and on Saturday, I go in
and demagnetize all those carts.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Shah, you know what you're talking.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
About that stunted my growth. It's the demagnetizing of those
carts during those ten eleven twelve year old growth years.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
That's what happened. All right, He'll be five with.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
His son, Sergeant Lord to come calling for you there? Uh,

Speaker 3 (32:18):
You bet you, Irena. It's Trevor c k on Sports
Fox Sports thirteen forty. It is our Simuo cast the
Trevor Nation all over the place to her live from
He know oe, she he Knowyhi is a placed made I.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Just found out.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
It's I was laughing at you saying he looks like
a Montreal Canadian.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, well it kind of the hat did all right,
Expo's hat. Don't you love those old Montreal Expo hats.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
They were the best.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
And I like when they would have on those powder
blue uniforms, right, white cleats and tim rains.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
There's something about the old school vibe and the old
school way that things were done, especially in sports, that
make you say that was the good days. Like when
you think about the old Padres uniforms, you think about
the old Milwaukee Bucks. You those monochromatic looks. Those are awesome.
What is set aside your loyalty? What is the best
NFL football uniform in all time?
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Can you go out of side loyalty setting aside loyalty?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
If I have to pick one, and it's difficult because
I'm a packer backer, but if I have to pick one,
it would be the new England Patriots uniform.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
The old ones are the old one with the Patriots
with the Patriot with the football. Yeah, that was my favorite.
I'm gonna say. Out on the field, it's tough between
the Cowboys and Dolphins. Something about those two uniforms.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Just have the Dolphins even the old.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Dolphin looks Okay, I can see that they'd get kind
of weird lately.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
But haven't the Cowboys worn the same uniform? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
so then how are you?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
It's just so if you don't get out of here,
all right, Baseball, what's your favorite baseball uniform or all?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
You know what, If I have to pick one baseball
uniform of all time, I'm gonna have to go with
This is a tough one. I mean, I'm a Mets fan,
but I will I'll go with the Cubs.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Okay, the Cubs they changed it periodically. Yeah, I gotta
say maybe a Red sow. I'm a Boston I'm such
a simplistic I love their grades with just a cool
Boston across the front.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Do you see how we went back to New England? Yeah,
everything cycles back to New England sports. I guess so there. Basketball,
I can't really think of many.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I just loved that.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, that was it, And it's something how they didn't
have when I was watching that, like as a kid
and teenager, the Lakers and Celtics. There wasn't air conditioning
in there wasn't. That's something that had in the in
the Boston Garden before.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's crazy to think about, Like they wear them old
Chuck Taylor's Yeah, we know ac On.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
You know their feet was sweating.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Just think at the announcers and everybody, the cheerleads with those.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Tube socks on.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
That went all the way up with the Uh you
think the seventies and eighties basketball shorts? Do you think
everything cycles? You know that right from from.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Coming back not going back? Those shorts are not coming
back period in the story.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
All right, I hope not. No, it looks weird to
see old Kurt Rambis and Cooper Jamal Wilkes, they had
all those I wonder what team started. Did you remember
who got the credit for starting to belonger?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
You know what, I don't know. I remember the Fab Five.
I remember their style, their swag. They brought the baggy shorts.
I remember them. I don't know who I would give
credit to in the NBA. Maybe I would say Alan
Iverson for changing the whole look, but I mean I
had to do some research on that.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
But for sure the Fab Five.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
All right, we got mister politics and mister sports here
last week we heard e r A. I thought equal
writs amendment you start earn run average average. I gotta
ask you, mister sports. I've heard some of this. What
is all this stuff about the tush push that I'm
hearing about with the Eagles, And I heard Kelsey talking
about it as well.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Yeah, first of all, I don't understand what the issue is.
It's a legal football play.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Describe when it happens.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
I mean, you'll see it when you watch the Philadelphia
Eagles play. They're famous for the tush push. They've done the.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Tush pushing, the super Bowl, you name it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
And all I'm saying is, if you can't stop it,
you can't defend it, don't complain about it. Figure out
a way to stop it. You basically get behind the
quarterback and you use his tush and you push, You
push with every ounce of fiber in your being as
the running back and the full back behind him, and
you push that tush.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
You push that tush to it can't be pushed no more.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Why don't they get in the I formation, three of
them and just all of them pushing. So are the
Eagles The only ones that are trying to pull this.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Are the only ones that do it a fight.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I'm sure other people trying to practice well because they
don't know how to do it. Someone someone actually taught
Philadelphia how to do it, and they're not sharing the secrets.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
With anyone, all right. I had to ask you that
I wasn't quite sure what it was. It's the tremornation
all over the place to her twenty twenty five on
