(00:23):
Anything, everybody, and welcome tothe Patriots Day version of No Linux.
My name is Scott Morgan, rodhornor City Madmouth. Pleased to be joined
by Jennifer Lee Cobb. Glad tohave ye on here, John Hard to
be here. All right. Well, want to let let everybody know right
now that first and foremost in honorof nine to eleven and those that lost
(00:44):
their lives, will observe a momentof silence. So here you go.
We'll be acting thirty seconds. Allright, Well, back in once again,
(01:27):
we want to send our deepest condolencesfor all the individuals family members that
had to deal with this unfortunate tragedythat occurred back then. I had the
opportunity to revisit that set a yearago and the way they've rebuilt it.
Plus I also had an opportunity afew years ago when I saw that they
were rebuilding. It was not asite that you really want to see.
(01:48):
But it just is a tragic reminderthat our society is far from perfect.
We need to work toward making surethese terrorists attacks don't occur. And I
also want to point out to jenthat we can't lose sight of the fact
that this incident. The fact thatthe Pentagon Washington, DC as well,
was that plane crash that the curtainPennsylvania. So you know, I know
(02:10):
the nine to eleven memorials one thing, but there's you know, you had
the Pentagon as well as that planecrash. Well, all right, Jen,
you know where were you actually onnine to eleven when all of us
took on And I was actually inBora Bora, and it said French owned
island. We were scheduled to comeback the next day. And they said,
(02:36):
sorry, but you cannot leave theisland. You're going to be hunkered
down here for the next couple ofdays. And I just said, excuse
me, bartender, can I haveanother margharita? I mean, I wasn't
going back to the United States,so I might as well order another drink.
Watch it all hold on BBC.But after a couple of days of
(02:58):
that, I I just wanted toget back to USA soil. And when
I got off the plane and gotwalked into Lax there was nobody in the
airport. It was lines of armysoldiers you know, with guns, you
know, rifles at at stance,all lined up against the wall. And
(03:23):
it was eerie quiet. It wassome it was the most it was disturbing
to actually experience, and it wasit was very frightening actually. So I
got back on the plane to goback to Saint Louis and I was just
(03:44):
so happy to finally sorry about that. I was just so happy to be
in my car and on my wayhome. Yeah, September nine, which
was a lot has happened since.Yeah, And you know, the media
(04:04):
only gives us enough information for whatthey want us to know. I just
don't want to know anymore because reallywhat it amounts to is it's a horrible
event anyway you look at it.Many families will forever be affected. And
(04:26):
I just pray every day that,you know, myself and my family and
friends were all safe, and weyou know, there's always even though it
was so tragic, there's always somethingthat you can take from that moment,
at least from my perspective as amother, to teach my children from that
(04:49):
historical moment. And you know,evil is evil, no matter what package
it's delivered in. And it's horriblethat there are people that are out there
that are that way. But theLord knows what he's doing and he's he's
got this, and I have greatfaith in him and carry that on to
(05:11):
what you know, I instill intomy children and my family. And but
anyway you look at it, it'sjust it's just a horrible, horrible event,
and my heart aches for the familiesand those that were involved and are
affected forever for that from that,right, Yeah, I'll say this.
(05:33):
I was in Florida at the time, and I ended up flying back on
September ninth, two days before thistook place. I was actually living in
Arizona Channel, Arizona at the time, and I go to my attorney's office
in nine to eleven. He said, do you hear what happens? And
oh, not really up traveling tosee you, and that's when I first
(05:56):
left. I'm not about the tragicevents ironically as we speak, and I
flew out on that particular day onthe ninth, which is Saturday, and
of course now on nine eleven occurredon Monday. So now here we are
dialing up to twenty twenty three,and we're talking about it with the irony
of the days what they are interms of what we're talking. So but
(06:18):
anyways, certainly couldn't start off theshow without being able to address us.
I do want to point out,thank you so much for that. Oh
my pleasure. It's my again.My heart's are to those everybody that lost
and having been to that site acouple of times, it's you know,

up there so everybody can see itall right. One hundred. We go
a few things want to talk abouttonight in gen and we will do exactly
(07:26):
that. Let's talk about opening season. I want I want your input on
that and explain to everybody what openingseason is all about. Oh, talk
about magic moments. I'm actually inColorado as we speak, Skid. I'm
going to the Red Rock Amphitheater,which is known for their acoustics. It's
the most beautiful, amazing theater concertvenue in the country. It's a place
(07:57):
that if you ever go to aconcert, this is the place that you
want to go and perform at.It's in sight and in the mountains.
It's kind of built in there.So my first experience tonight gonna watch Stephen
Stephen Miller like Abra, Okadabra,I want to reach out and grab you.
Remember that song Abra? You rememberthat song Don't just got come on?
(08:24):
I remember that song? The songtonight, I'll send it to you.
But yeah, I'm gonna see himin concert. I'm excited. But
the great thing is I was atthe Denver Bronco Raider game last night,
open season for them. I sawa more Raider hater t shirts ever seen
(08:45):
in my life. But Raiders pulledit off by one point, so good
for them. It was a reallygreat game. I feel so bad for
that kicker. He gave up theone extra point for the first touchdown Broncos,
so now we're already down six,six to seven, and then there
(09:07):
was a field goal he missed it. There's another three, so we've already
you know, gave away four pointsand we lost at the end of the
game by one. So not agood start for the Denver Broncos. Good
start for the Raiders. But youknow, the Denver Broncos never been to
(09:28):
the stadium's outdoor amazing beautiful. Theydid it right. There was lots of
fireworks. Fans were just on fire, very polite with the Raiders there,
you know, just good camaraderie.I'm not sure how happy they were exiting
the stadium, but for the mostpart, it was a really great experience.
(09:50):
And honestly, Scott by sitting there, I got front row on the
thirty five yard line, so itwas right behind the Broncos ben, you
know, basically on the field,getting to see the the cheerleaders, which
was a lot of fun, ofcourse, but it really brought back a
lot of memories for me the daysI was on the field, and I
(10:13):
just kept thinking a lot about whatit's like for these players years from now
and they do decide to retire andhang up their helmets and retire, wall,
where is their identity moving forward?Like where do they go from here
if any if they even have aplan, Like what goes on when they
(10:39):
finally give up that lifestyle from dreamingof it since they were a peewee of
thirty three years old and now thesemen playing professionally making you know, money
for their career, and you justI'm just sitting there watch and thinking and
(11:01):
remembering how much fun it was forme as well as the players on game
day. You know, the funis of course on the field, but
the real fun happens in the lockerroom. You know, there's a lot
of camaraderie, goofing in jokes,laughing, lots of playground you know,
(11:24):
antics that are just you know,brings you back to childhood. And so
where their relevancy lies when they retireand become an alumni. Just made me
think about when I went through that, but also the days looking back,
(11:45):
Isaac Bruce Marshall, Fall, KurtWarner, Kurt has as a movie.
Isaac Bruce has this foundation. He'scoaching out in Florida now, he's Hall
of Famer. Marshall fall has starteda business doing very very successful. He's
out in Las Vegas, California,you know, moving in grouvino, wherever
(12:07):
they're at. But for the mostpart finding out, you know, what
their identity is now that they're notin uniform. And so I often wonder
if you could ask a lot ofthese players, at what point in their
career do they start transitioning into thatphase. You know, Rogers, he's
(12:33):
back on the field, coming backquarterbacking. You know, many times Brady
started talking about retirement. You know, I'm retiring them retiring He's got his
game day in place, and thencomes back and now he's back on the
team, you know, playing onthe field, and then you know there's
whisper behind the scenes, I'm goingto retire now. So it's like I
(12:56):
just often wonder when does that traintransition start to take to start to start
to take place in these players' minds. At what point in their career.
That's a great question. I hada couple of questions for a Number one,
(13:16):
he really struck a cord in acouple of good ways. First of
all, since Rams left Saint Louis, Okay, do you are you rooting
for the Denver Broncos now? Isthat the new team that you're following?
No? No, I just sohappened to be here for the concert.
Okay, So I the game,you know, and Broncos and Raiders are
playing. But while I was there, these thoughts were in my mind,
(13:41):
and I was just watching a lotof these players, you know, at
the pinnacle of their career, youknow, playing at such high athleticism.
Right what time and what point oftheir career do they start to really evaluating
the next phase of their life?Like when, what are what's their new
(14:05):
identity gonna be? Where are theygoing to take this? Are they going
to coach? Like look at DionSanders. Now we all know Dion first
year took the game against Nebraska.I got off the plane. I saw
more red in Colorado Nebraska Husker fansI've ever seen in my entire life.
(14:26):
Dion comes on board, signs withthe college, takes these young men and
says, hey, you're gonna doit my way. You're all gonna sign
Christian values. You're going to signa contract, You're gonna do it my
way, and you're gonna work theformula the way I see fit. I'm
(14:48):
not saying it's right or wrong.All I know is that he came off
of a good win, like yesterdayor the day before. So that's what
Dion is doing in his next phaseof life. Coming off the field.
He's retired. Now what is hegoing to do? He's now he's coaching
for Prato. You're giving me anidea. Now you know what happens when
(15:13):
you get my wheels turning? Whatdo you think happens when you get my
wheels turning? Outlets to answer it? I don't know. Go for it.
Be prepared for anything. So startmemorizing that phrase because I'm gonna quid
at some point down the road.And when you talk about the locker room,
anybody can relate to locker room.It's maybe because obviously I've a lot
(15:33):
of players in the locker room.I don't think the locker room access is
as good these days. Things havereally changed. But I know the camaraderie,
I know the game day routine.Even being a reporter, my game
day routine, I get there fouror five hours for the game preparing then
be there. I'm for me anNFL game is ten to twelve hours a
day, no less than that betweenyou yeah, well between prep ken and
(15:54):
then the actual game and then postgame. I mean, my goodness,
but that's what we And of coursethe cheerleaders. Well, you know,
once upon a time, many yearsago. I don't know if you knew
this, but I'll tell you now. Many years ago, the Detroit Lions
used to have high school cheerleaders overat the Pontiac Silver Home to give them
an opportunity, and they used torotate them and it was a thrill for
(16:14):
them. I don't know if youever knew that, but it was pretty
interesting idea. But they had donethat. It's good opportunity for the kids
at Lokal, I know, it'sa good community idea. So so it's
amazing. Same day to piggyback offwhat you said. So the players and
the cheerleaders, we are called timeon field is seven am. So the
guys are on the field or they'redoing their their warm up, they're going
(16:37):
through the playbook. The cheerleaders weregoing through our routines, our dance routines,
what we're gonna do on the field, our spacing, you know,
going throughout the choreography. So we'repracticing two hours before the game. So
that brings us to about nine ninethirty. Then we all go back to
the locker room. They get intotheir uniforms, We get into our uniforms,
(16:59):
han makeup. Now the fellas don'thave hair and makeup, and maybe
they do, no judgment on myhave If they don't want to have their
hair and makeup done, good forthem. But I just see them in
helmets, helmets in their uniform seeus with our hair and makeup. But
then we have lunch and then weare called on by eleven thirty eleven forty
for the tunnel. And so whenyou have a twelve o'clock twelve ten kickoff,
(17:27):
you know, if you think aboutit, it's a four and a
half hour game from finish. Yougo back, you shower, you get
into professional clothes, You walk outof stadium. The guys are in the
suits, the girls were in professionalattire, and you leave the stadium and
that's you know, somewhere around sixseven o'clock at night. So yeah,
(17:52):
twelve hours. It's a long day, no matter how you slacee it from
your end of mine. Either way, it's a long day, but you
know what, we do it becausewe enjoy doing it. And I'm being
the long time journalist that I've beendoing it for a long long time,
Jen, And ever he gets old. When you're really in your element,
I don't care what it is.You're in the element promoting Parkinson's cheerleaning and
me looking to find the best contentthat I can get. I probably am
(18:17):
my own worst enemy these days.I get so intense, but I don't
get what I'm looking for in agame. I get angry. And if
you're a pr guy that prevented mefrom doing it, then you don't want
to be on the wrong end ofmy wrath. I'm not going to get
into the air because anytime you havea good competitor or working your tail off,
nobody wants to feel like you leftanything on the table. And that's
just how it is, all right. One thing I really want to address
tonight, Jen, as a magazinearticle that was written about the Healthy Planet.
(18:41):
Okay, and I'm going to prefacethis by saying, now, when
I read that article, it tookme at over an hour. It's ten
fifteen minute verse show was addressed everythingand that thing. But you know what,
nothing like the old verbal voice,nothing like the visual But that was
an excellent article that made me thinkme and I could ahead those people prep
(19:02):
have to do anything well. Itake it away, Jen a healthy plan.
It what a joy they they cameto me, they said, good
people doing good things. Jennifer Cobb, We would love to do an article
on your life and what brought youto where you are today. And if
that article can inspire someone out thereto do good, then you know my
(19:25):
mission accomplished. You know, I'vealways been uh someone that gives a lot
of themselves to charitable organizations. Latelyit's to my children, getting them to
a part of their life, aphase in their life where they're you know,
when they fly away from Mom,that they fly away where I look
(19:48):
and say, you know what Idid good. I did my parenting the
way I should And they're gonna makesomething of themselves in this world. And
and hopes to inspire someone else else. And you know, momentum is the
hell of a thing. And soyou know, carrying that momentum, that
legacy on to my children so theycan you know, remember their mom more
(20:11):
than a mother in the home,you know, caring for them and driving
them to and from their activities.And I want them to remember my legacy
beyond being their mother outside of thehome. Is what the article talks a
lot about, you know, thecharitable contributions that I did with the RAMS,
(20:33):
the NFL, and how many yearsI've contributed to that, which you
know, allowed me to start myown five oh one C three, which
is Team Gateway to a Cure,which focuses our efforts on the caregivers that
stay home with their loved ones andhow they have resources available to them that
(20:56):
they can go to to help supportthem and their efforts in the home,
and that's really really important. Andalso talks about the days I was on
the field with the RAMS and thethings that I personally accomplished, one being
the going out to Maui, Hawaii, became fittest woman in America. And
(21:18):
speaking about Maui, you know,my my heart breaks for those that in
the families and and and your friendsand loved ones that have been affected by
the fire. The fires that wentjust currently happened to the you know,
that beautiful island of Maui. It'sjust it's destroyed so much history that you
(21:45):
know had been part of that islandforever and it's all gone. So it
just goes to show you that,you know, you just enjoy every day,
every moment that you have given toyou, because it's not it's not
necessarily a day. The next dayis not, you know, guaranteed.
(22:07):
So I always thank the Lord fortoday and God Lord willing I'll have another
one tomorrow. But I was prettyhonored by the Healthy Planet and the article
that they wrote, but not necessarilymostly because of what my accomplishes, accomplishments
are that I acquired over the years, but what those accomplishments stood for and
(22:33):
in hopes to inspire others through thekind of person that I am and the
giving that I do and the lovethat's behind that, that that passion that
drives me every day. And soI was. I was honored and very
very humbled by it, very veryexcited when it came out, and I'm
(22:56):
thank you for your kind words.I'm glad you enjoyed reading it too.
I did. If I'd have hadthat thing wait ahead of time, there
wouldn't have been no pre prep itwould have been all done for me.
But I'm kidding with you now,Jennifer, I love prepping and it was
I like to get you know howmuch I enjoyed coming on with you.
Anyways, That's the truth. Imean. First of all, you inspire
(23:18):
me enough to want to produce theseshows as often as we can do.
Oh my goodness, you know Imean, But really, I mean what
you do is you talk about Parkinson'sdisease. This is something that I've told
you from the beginning, since wemet a couple of years ago, that
Parkinson's disease Jennifer hits me closer inmy heart and folks, if you hear
it every week, well I don'tcare, because it's a message we need
(23:40):
to accomplish together. Team Gateway toAccure is designed to provide updates here in
terms of progression and how to lickthis disease. Muhammad Ali Chris Roberts out
of LA. I don't know ifyou've ever heard of Chris Roberts used to
be the president for the Southern CaliforniaSports Broadcast Association. Recently died, but
he was like a broadcast brother andI can miss many mentioned many others.
(24:03):
But what you do, Jen,to me with your foundation inspires me to
want to do these shows every wayI can. The only thing I have
to deal with as a host andproducer of the show is trying to make
sure the message gets out there andthe most different ways that I can.
So whether and folks, I justwant to prepare it down the line here,
Jennifer and I are going to behaving more and more conversations outside of
(24:29):
ourselves. I'll bring on former playersat some point and individuals that are associated
with head injuries. I just wantto make sure that we began our time
on no limits of Jen and Ito set the table for what lies ahead,
to established what we're doing and thenbuilding on that. But you know,
Jennifer, the kind words I gaveyou or simply from my heart in
my mind, and I'm just verydelighted to have you on as often as
(24:49):
we can, and I'm confident we'regoing to build a show to what we
know our capabilities are. But notonly on the visual side through YouTube,
Jen, My goal here is tomake sure we build the audience side as
well. So when we talk aboutthe Spotify is ther Heart radios and the
rest of them not everybody can watchus gen they can, so I'll make
sure that we can, you know, make sure that this gets out there.
(25:11):
I'm going to use a really interestinganalogy that only you could get a
kickout. I want our reach andhave something in common with Canada, you
know what that is. But Iwanted to go far and wide. Sure,
I knew sell Good was going tocome on at come on, well,
you know, I mean for thosethat know me, say, how
(25:33):
much caffeine did you have? Notenough? I'm trying to wane off of
it, but enough to get methrough these shows. Those that have a
whole lot of fun. Yeah,it's just point out coming up after the
limits. Yeah. So what's traininjury TBI is is not talked enough about,
you know, And it's not justplayers football players that experience it.
(25:56):
One biggest sports out there that experiencethe most of TBIs is cheerleading, I
matching the NFL, the professional dancingcheerleading. I'm talking stunt cheerleading. That
kind of cheerleading when they're throwing thegirls up and tossing them and there's so
(26:18):
many falls, and you know,they really should practice with helmets, you
know, head protection. But that'sthe number one sport out there as of
right now that experiences the most tbiesout of all the sports out there,
and football has changed, No,Jen, I think what we're going to
(26:41):
do with that? Yeah, football, Chen, when I want to do
with that topic? This is agood one. Why don't we We can
talk about it for a second now, but I want to elaborate on that
more next week, if that's okaywith you, Yeah, yeah, for
sure we'll turn that into a topic, because you know what, this is
the one thing until you brother,I've never even dawned on me. And
if we could get five or tenminutes on this thing, then I'm convinced
(27:03):
that we could be able to letparents and individuals know that. You know,
there's a lot more to it thanthe barbaric sports such as the boxing's
of hockey in the NFL or footballin general that are susceptible to Parkinson's the
great point I should point out,folks, after No Limits, Fire Up
Wisconsin follows us, but Jeremy ballWreck and Kendiabling, so they'll be going
(27:25):
out there and Fire Up Wisconsin returnswith a rotating individual every week and it
will follow the early Monday show.It's just so happens that Jennifer and I
get to do it first, allright, so and set it up.
But now, Jo, you dobring up a good point, and I
think what we're going to do forall intense purposes, we're gonna spend more
time on that one. So we'lljust prepare that as one of the things.
(27:48):
I want to let everybody know thatthe plan is to talk about it
next Monday night. If you're onboard of that, absolutely, I love
that. Yeah, I just thinkthat now. Well, I appreciate you
being flexible about certain things, becauseagain, our goal is not only entertain
but to educate as well. AndI'm a very big stickler and a perfectionist
on that. And you know,as if you thought the Canadian analogy was
(28:11):
interesting, you know, I treatlife one way Morris had nine lives.
I got to make the most ofthe one that I have. So I
get you with two of them.Oh g are the good one, Scott.
I hit Jennifer with two of themto night. You say nothing yet,
Jen, Let me tell you wehave a few shows, but there
(28:33):
are plenty more to come from.So great show tonight. Any closing thoughts
about what you want to do toupdate your Parkinson's foundations and what you've done.
That's when our standard procedures here aboutwhat you've done since the last time
we came on. Yeah, sogo to www dot team, gateway to
a cure dot org and you canget more information about caregiver support, educating
(28:56):
the caregivers, learning more about whathospice truly is. It's my dad was
on hospice for four years. Youdon't have to be on your deathbed to
you know, get the benefits ofhospice services. Yeah, and it's just
it's educating yourself more on what resourcesand programs are out there financially and emotionally
(29:19):
physically to support the caregiver in thehome. So that's really important. And
next Monday, we'll talk a lotabout TBI traumatic brain injuries. We'll talk
a lot about concussions, that sortof thing, but also how nutrition can
play in an inspiring role in combatingthe injury of TBIs. It's really impowerful.
(29:44):
Yeah, you know, I likewhat you said, folks. So
there you've got got concussions, TBI. What you say is traumatic brain injuries,
right, And what was the otherone you wanted to talk about?
Christian plays a huge impact on thedegeneration of the brain, injuries, concussions,
neurological disorders. Very good. Wellthere you go to folks out.
(30:08):
Now you have a preview for whatwe're going to do next week's edition of
No Limits. So great show,Jennifer. Hope you enjoy our concert tonight
and looking forward to doing this withyou next next Monday. Yeah, we
got there. We're ahead of Mondaynight football, so let make sure you
learn a lot about what occurs onthe field. Again, I emphasize this
(30:30):
a lot. Okay, what Jenniferand I are doing, we are partnering
up on this is we want tomake sure we do everything in our power,
right Jen to make sure we getawareness to find a cure for Parkinson's
disease. All we can do isjust work our tail out to do that.
And as I alluded to it atthe top of the show, again,
we want to make sure that ourdeepest condolences are so all those individuals
(30:55):
and eleven that lost their lives.Our hearts are always with you and if
you ever have an opportunity to goto New York City and be able to
look at that site, it issomething that will go out there and really
hit you personally. But I thinkit's something everybody should do. I was
been there a couple of times,and I actually saw the Twin Towers many
years ago when I cover the Lionsand the Giants actually on a Monday night
(31:18):
football, or it was actually thereSunday night football, but I had a
cab driver take me around and itwas unbelievable. But nothing more evidence and
when I went out there again before, so again our deepest condolences to them.
But I'm glad that Jennifer and Ihad a chance to talk about nine
to eleven and a whole lot more. So I want to mention one last
time in case you didn't hear it, and see you know No Limits is

Anything, everybody, and welcome tothe Patriots Day version of No Linux.
My name is Scott Morgan, rodhornor City Madmouth. Pleased to be joined
by Jennifer Lee Cobb. Glad tohave ye on here, John Hard to
be here. All right. Well, want to let let everybody know right
now that first and foremost in honorof nine to eleven and those that lost
(00:44):
their lives, will observe a momentof silence. So here you go.
We'll be acting thirty seconds. Allright, Well, back in once again,
(01:27):
we want to send our deepest condolencesfor all the individuals family members that
had to deal with this unfortunate tragedythat occurred back then. I had the
opportunity to revisit that set a yearago and the way they've rebuilt it.
Plus I also had an opportunity afew years ago when I saw that they
were rebuilding. It was not asite that you really want to see.
(01:48):
But it just is a tragic reminderthat our society is far from perfect.
We need to work toward making surethese terrorists attacks don't occur. And I
also want to point out to jenthat we can't lose sight of the fact
that this incident. The fact thatthe Pentagon Washington, DC as well,
was that plane crash that the curtainPennsylvania. So you know, I know
(02:10):
the nine to eleven memorials one thing, but there's you know, you had
the Pentagon as well as that planecrash. Well, all right, Jen,
you know where were you actually onnine to eleven when all of us
took on And I was actually inBora Bora, and it said French owned
island. We were scheduled to comeback the next day. And they said,
(02:36):
sorry, but you cannot leave theisland. You're going to be hunkered
down here for the next couple ofdays. And I just said, excuse
me, bartender, can I haveanother margharita? I mean, I wasn't
going back to the United States,so I might as well order another drink.
Watch it all hold on BBC.But after a couple of days of
(02:58):
that, I I just wanted toget back to USA soil. And when
I got off the plane and gotwalked into Lax there was nobody in the
airport. It was lines of armysoldiers you know, with guns, you
know, rifles at at stance,all lined up against the wall. And
(03:23):
it was eerie quiet. It wassome it was the most it was disturbing
to actually experience, and it wasit was very frightening actually. So I
got back on the plane to goback to Saint Louis and I was just
(03:44):
so happy to finally sorry about that. I was just so happy to be
in my car and on my wayhome. Yeah, September nine, which
was a lot has happened since.Yeah, And you know, the media
(04:04):
only gives us enough information for whatthey want us to know. I just
don't want to know anymore because reallywhat it amounts to is it's a horrible
event anyway you look at it.Many families will forever be affected. And
(04:26):
I just pray every day that,you know, myself and my family and
friends were all safe, and weyou know, there's always even though it
was so tragic, there's always somethingthat you can take from that moment,
at least from my perspective as amother, to teach my children from that
(04:49):
historical moment. And you know,evil is evil, no matter what package
it's delivered in. And it's horriblethat there are people that are out there
that are that way. But theLord knows what he's doing and he's he's
got this, and I have greatfaith in him and carry that on to
(05:11):
what you know, I instill intomy children and my family. And but
anyway you look at it, it'sjust it's just a horrible, horrible event,
and my heart aches for the familiesand those that were involved and are
affected forever for that from that,right, Yeah, I'll say this.
(05:33):
I was in Florida at the time, and I ended up flying back on
September ninth, two days before thistook place. I was actually living in
Arizona Channel, Arizona at the time, and I go to my attorney's office
in nine to eleven. He said, do you hear what happens? And
oh, not really up traveling tosee you, and that's when I first
(05:56):
left. I'm not about the tragicevents ironically as we speak, and I
flew out on that particular day onthe ninth, which is Saturday, and
of course now on nine eleven occurredon Monday. So now here we are
dialing up to twenty twenty three,and we're talking about it with the irony
of the days what they are interms of what we're talking. So but
(06:18):
anyways, certainly couldn't start off theshow without being able to address us.
I do want to point out,thank you so much for that. Oh
my pleasure. It's my again.My heart's are to those everybody that lost
and having been to that site acouple of times, it's you know,

a few things want to talk abouttonight in gen and we will do exactly
(07:26):
that. Let's talk about opening season. I want I want your input on
that and explain to everybody what openingseason is all about. Oh, talk
about magic moments. I'm actually inColorado as we speak, Skid. I'm
going to the Red Rock Amphitheater,which is known for their acoustics. It's
the most beautiful, amazing theater concertvenue in the country. It's a place
(07:57):
that if you ever go to aconcert, this is the place that you
want to go and perform at.It's in sight and in the mountains.
It's kind of built in there.So my first experience tonight gonna watch Stephen
Stephen Miller like Abra, Okadabra,I want to reach out and grab you.
Remember that song Abra? You rememberthat song Don't just got come on?
(08:24):
I remember that song? The songtonight, I'll send it to you.
But yeah, I'm gonna see himin concert. I'm excited. But
the great thing is I was atthe Denver Bronco Raider game last night,
open season for them. I sawa more Raider hater t shirts ever seen
(08:45):
in my life. But Raiders pulledit off by one point, so good
for them. It was a reallygreat game. I feel so bad for
that kicker. He gave up theone extra point for the first touchdown Broncos,
so now we're already down six,six to seven, and then there
(09:07):
was a field goal he missed it. There's another three, so we've already
you know, gave away four pointsand we lost at the end of the
game by one. So not agood start for the Denver Broncos. Good
start for the Raiders. But youknow, the Denver Broncos never been to
(09:28):
the stadium's outdoor amazing beautiful. Theydid it right. There was lots of
fireworks. Fans were just on fire, very polite with the Raiders there,
you know, just good camaraderie.I'm not sure how happy they were exiting
the stadium, but for the mostpart, it was a really great experience.
(09:50):
And honestly, Scott by sitting there, I got front row on the
thirty five yard line, so itwas right behind the Broncos ben, you
know, basically on the field,getting to see the the cheerleaders, which
was a lot of fun, ofcourse, but it really brought back a
lot of memories for me the daysI was on the field, and I
(10:13):
just kept thinking a lot about whatit's like for these players years from now
and they do decide to retire andhang up their helmets and retire, wall,
where is their identity moving forward?Like where do they go from here
if any if they even have aplan, Like what goes on when they
(10:39):
finally give up that lifestyle from dreamingof it since they were a peewee of
thirty three years old and now thesemen playing professionally making you know, money
for their career, and you justI'm just sitting there watch and thinking and
(11:01):
remembering how much fun it was forme as well as the players on game
day. You know, the funis of course on the field, but
the real fun happens in the lockerroom. You know, there's a lot
of camaraderie, goofing in jokes,laughing, lots of playground you know,
(11:24):
antics that are just you know,brings you back to childhood. And so
where their relevancy lies when they retireand become an alumni. Just made me
think about when I went through that, but also the days looking back,
(11:45):
Isaac Bruce Marshall, Fall, KurtWarner, Kurt has as a movie.
Isaac Bruce has this foundation. He'scoaching out in Florida now, he's Hall
of Famer. Marshall fall has starteda business doing very very successful. He's
out in Las Vegas, California,you know, moving in grouvino, wherever
(12:07):
they're at. But for the mostpart finding out, you know, what
their identity is now that they're notin uniform. And so I often wonder
if you could ask a lot ofthese players, at what point in their
career do they start transitioning into thatphase. You know, Rogers, he's
(12:33):
back on the field, coming backquarterbacking. You know, many times Brady
started talking about retirement. You know, I'm retiring them retiring He's got his
game day in place, and thencomes back and now he's back on the
team, you know, playing onthe field, and then you know there's
whisper behind the scenes, I'm goingto retire now. So it's like I
(12:56):
just often wonder when does that traintransition start to take to start to start
to take place in these players' minds. At what point in their career.
That's a great question. I hada couple of questions for a Number one,
(13:16):
he really struck a cord in acouple of good ways. First of
all, since Rams left Saint Louis, Okay, do you are you rooting
for the Denver Broncos now? Isthat the new team that you're following?
No? No, I just sohappened to be here for the concert.
Okay, So I the game,you know, and Broncos and Raiders are
playing. But while I was there, these thoughts were in my mind,
(13:41):
and I was just watching a lotof these players, you know, at
the pinnacle of their career, youknow, playing at such high athleticism.
Right what time and what point oftheir career do they start to really evaluating
the next phase of their life?Like when, what are what's their new
(14:05):
identity gonna be? Where are theygoing to take this? Are they going
to coach? Like look at DionSanders. Now we all know Dion first
year took the game against Nebraska.I got off the plane. I saw
more red in Colorado Nebraska Husker fansI've ever seen in my entire life.
(14:26):
Dion comes on board, signs withthe college, takes these young men and
says, hey, you're gonna doit my way. You're all gonna sign
Christian values. You're going to signa contract, You're gonna do it my
way, and you're gonna work theformula the way I see fit. I'm
(14:48):
not saying it's right or wrong.All I know is that he came off
of a good win, like yesterdayor the day before. So that's what
Dion is doing in his next phaseof life. Coming off the field.
He's retired. Now what is hegoing to do? He's now he's coaching
for Prato. You're giving me anidea. Now you know what happens when
(15:13):
you get my wheels turning? Whatdo you think happens when you get my
wheels turning? Outlets to answer it? I don't know. Go for it.
Be prepared for anything. So startmemorizing that phrase because I'm gonna quid
at some point down the road.And when you talk about the locker room,
anybody can relate to locker room.It's maybe because obviously I've a lot
(15:33):
of players in the locker room.I don't think the locker room access is
as good these days. Things havereally changed. But I know the camaraderie,
I know the game day routine.Even being a reporter, my game
day routine, I get there fouror five hours for the game preparing then
be there. I'm for me anNFL game is ten to twelve hours a
day, no less than that betweenyou yeah, well between prep ken and
(15:54):
then the actual game and then postgame. I mean, my goodness,
but that's what we And of coursethe cheerleaders. Well, you know,
once upon a time, many yearsago. I don't know if you knew
this, but I'll tell you now. Many years ago, the Detroit Lions
used to have high school cheerleaders overat the Pontiac Silver Home to give them
an opportunity, and they used torotate them and it was a thrill for
(16:14):
them. I don't know if youever knew that, but it was pretty
interesting idea. But they had donethat. It's good opportunity for the kids
at Lokal, I know, it'sa good community idea. So so it's
amazing. Same day to piggyback offwhat you said. So the players and
the cheerleaders, we are called timeon field is seven am. So the
guys are on the field or they'redoing their their warm up, they're going
(16:37):
through the playbook. The cheerleaders weregoing through our routines, our dance routines,
what we're gonna do on the field, our spacing, you know,
going throughout the choreography. So we'repracticing two hours before the game. So
that brings us to about nine ninethirty. Then we all go back to
the locker room. They get intotheir uniforms, We get into our uniforms,
(16:59):
han makeup. Now the fellas don'thave hair and makeup, and maybe
they do, no judgment on myhave If they don't want to have their
hair and makeup done, good forthem. But I just see them in
helmets, helmets in their uniform seeus with our hair and makeup. But
then we have lunch and then weare called on by eleven thirty eleven forty
for the tunnel. And so whenyou have a twelve o'clock twelve ten kickoff,
(17:27):
you know, if you think aboutit, it's a four and a
half hour game from finish. Yougo back, you shower, you get
into professional clothes, You walk outof stadium. The guys are in the
suits, the girls were in professionalattire, and you leave the stadium and
that's you know, somewhere around sixseven o'clock at night. So yeah,
(17:52):
twelve hours. It's a long day, no matter how you slacee it from
your end of mine. Either way, it's a long day, but you
know what, we do it becausewe enjoy doing it. And I'm being
the long time journalist that I've beendoing it for a long long time,
Jen, And ever he gets old. When you're really in your element,
I don't care what it is.You're in the element promoting Parkinson's cheerleaning and
me looking to find the best contentthat I can get. I probably am
(18:17):
my own worst enemy these days.I get so intense, but I don't
get what I'm looking for in agame. I get angry. And if
you're a pr guy that prevented mefrom doing it, then you don't want
to be on the wrong end ofmy wrath. I'm not going to get
into the air because anytime you havea good competitor or working your tail off,
nobody wants to feel like you leftanything on the table. And that's
just how it is, all right. One thing I really want to address
tonight, Jen, as a magazinearticle that was written about the Healthy Planet.
(18:41):
Okay, and I'm going to prefacethis by saying, now, when
I read that article, it tookme at over an hour. It's ten
fifteen minute verse show was addressed everythingand that thing. But you know what,
nothing like the old verbal voice,nothing like the visual But that was
an excellent article that made me thinkme and I could ahead those people prep
(19:02):
have to do anything well. Itake it away, Jen a healthy plan.
It what a joy they they cameto me, they said, good
people doing good things. Jennifer Cobb, We would love to do an article
on your life and what brought youto where you are today. And if
that article can inspire someone out thereto do good, then you know my
(19:25):
mission accomplished. You know, I'vealways been uh someone that gives a lot
of themselves to charitable organizations. Latelyit's to my children, getting them to
a part of their life, aphase in their life where they're you know,
when they fly away from Mom,that they fly away where I look
(19:48):
and say, you know what Idid good. I did my parenting the
way I should And they're gonna makesomething of themselves in this world. And
and hopes to inspire someone else else. And you know, momentum is the
hell of a thing. And soyou know, carrying that momentum, that
legacy on to my children so theycan you know, remember their mom more
(20:11):
than a mother in the home,you know, caring for them and driving
them to and from their activities.And I want them to remember my legacy
beyond being their mother outside of thehome. Is what the article talks a
lot about, you know, thecharitable contributions that I did with the RAMS,
(20:33):
the NFL, and how many yearsI've contributed to that, which you
know, allowed me to start myown five oh one C three, which
is Team Gateway to a Cure,which focuses our efforts on the caregivers that
stay home with their loved ones andhow they have resources available to them that
(20:56):
they can go to to help supportthem and their efforts in the home,
and that's really really important. Andalso talks about the days I was on
the field with the RAMS and thethings that I personally accomplished, one being
the going out to Maui, Hawaii, became fittest woman in America. And
(21:18):
speaking about Maui, you know,my my heart breaks for those that in
the families and and and your friendsand loved ones that have been affected by
the fire. The fires that wentjust currently happened to the you know,
that beautiful island of Maui. It'sjust it's destroyed so much history that you
(21:45):
know had been part of that islandforever and it's all gone. So it
just goes to show you that,you know, you just enjoy every day,
every moment that you have given toyou, because it's not it's not
necessarily a day. The next dayis not, you know, guaranteed.
(22:07):
So I always thank the Lord fortoday and God Lord willing I'll have another
one tomorrow. But I was prettyhonored by the Healthy Planet and the article
that they wrote, but not necessarilymostly because of what my accomplishes, accomplishments
are that I acquired over the years, but what those accomplishments stood for and
(22:33):
in hopes to inspire others through thekind of person that I am and the
giving that I do and the lovethat's behind that, that that passion that
drives me every day. And soI was. I was honored and very
very humbled by it, very veryexcited when it came out, and I'm
(22:56):
thank you for your kind words.I'm glad you enjoyed reading it too.
I did. If I'd have hadthat thing wait ahead of time, there
wouldn't have been no pre prep itwould have been all done for me.
But I'm kidding with you now,Jennifer, I love prepping and it was
I like to get you know howmuch I enjoyed coming on with you.
Anyways, That's the truth. Imean. First of all, you inspire
(23:18):
me enough to want to produce theseshows as often as we can do.
Oh my goodness, you know Imean, But really, I mean what
you do is you talk about Parkinson'sdisease. This is something that I've told
you from the beginning, since wemet a couple of years ago, that
Parkinson's disease Jennifer hits me closer inmy heart and folks, if you hear
it every week, well I don'tcare, because it's a message we need
(23:40):
to accomplish together. Team Gateway toAccure is designed to provide updates here in
terms of progression and how to lickthis disease. Muhammad Ali Chris Roberts out
of LA. I don't know ifyou've ever heard of Chris Roberts used to
be the president for the Southern CaliforniaSports Broadcast Association. Recently died, but
he was like a broadcast brother andI can miss many mentioned many others.
(24:03):
But what you do, Jen,to me with your foundation inspires me to
want to do these shows every wayI can. The only thing I have
to deal with as a host andproducer of the show is trying to make
sure the message gets out there andthe most different ways that I can.
So whether and folks, I justwant to prepare it down the line here,
Jennifer and I are going to behaving more and more conversations outside of
(24:29):
ourselves. I'll bring on former playersat some point and individuals that are associated
with head injuries. I just wantto make sure that we began our time
on no limits of Jen and Ito set the table for what lies ahead,
to established what we're doing and thenbuilding on that. But you know,
Jennifer, the kind words I gaveyou or simply from my heart in
my mind, and I'm just verydelighted to have you on as often as
(24:49):
we can, and I'm confident we'regoing to build a show to what we
know our capabilities are. But notonly on the visual side through YouTube,
Jen, My goal here is tomake sure we build the audience side as
well. So when we talk aboutthe Spotify is ther Heart radios and the
rest of them not everybody can watchus gen they can, so I'll make
sure that we can, you know, make sure that this gets out there.
(25:11):
I'm going to use a really interestinganalogy that only you could get a
kickout. I want our reach andhave something in common with Canada, you
know what that is. But Iwanted to go far and wide. Sure,
I knew sell Good was going tocome on at come on, well,
you know, I mean for thosethat know me, say, how
(25:33):
much caffeine did you have? Notenough? I'm trying to wane off of
it, but enough to get methrough these shows. Those that have a
whole lot of fun. Yeah,it's just point out coming up after the
limits. Yeah. So what's traininjury TBI is is not talked enough about,
you know, And it's not justplayers football players that experience it.
(25:56):
One biggest sports out there that experiencethe most of TBIs is cheerleading, I
matching the NFL, the professional dancingcheerleading. I'm talking stunt cheerleading. That
kind of cheerleading when they're throwing thegirls up and tossing them and there's so
(26:18):
many falls, and you know,they really should practice with helmets, you
know, head protection. But that'sthe number one sport out there as of
right now that experiences the most tbiesout of all the sports out there,
and football has changed, No,Jen, I think what we're going to
(26:41):
do with that? Yeah, football, Chen, when I want to do
with that topic? This is agood one. Why don't we We can
talk about it for a second now, but I want to elaborate on that
more next week, if that's okaywith you, Yeah, yeah, for
sure we'll turn that into a topic, because you know what, this is
the one thing until you brother,I've never even dawned on me. And
if we could get five or tenminutes on this thing, then I'm convinced
(27:03):
that we could be able to letparents and individuals know that. You know,
there's a lot more to it thanthe barbaric sports such as the boxing's
of hockey in the NFL or footballin general that are susceptible to Parkinson's the
great point I should point out,folks, after No Limits, Fire Up
Wisconsin follows us, but Jeremy ballWreck and Kendiabling, so they'll be going
(27:25):
out there and Fire Up Wisconsin returnswith a rotating individual every week and it
will follow the early Monday show.It's just so happens that Jennifer and I
get to do it first, allright, so and set it up.
But now, Jo, you dobring up a good point, and I
think what we're going to do forall intense purposes, we're gonna spend more
time on that one. So we'lljust prepare that as one of the things.
(27:48):
I want to let everybody know thatthe plan is to talk about it
next Monday night. If you're onboard of that, absolutely, I love
that. Yeah, I just thinkthat now. Well, I appreciate you
being flexible about certain things, becauseagain, our goal is not only entertain
but to educate as well. AndI'm a very big stickler and a perfectionist
on that. And you know,as if you thought the Canadian analogy was
(28:11):
interesting, you know, I treatlife one way Morris had nine lives.
I got to make the most ofthe one that I have. So I
get you with two of them.Oh g are the good one, Scott.
I hit Jennifer with two of themto night. You say nothing yet,
Jen, Let me tell you wehave a few shows, but there
(28:33):
are plenty more to come from.So great show tonight. Any closing thoughts
about what you want to do toupdate your Parkinson's foundations and what you've done.
That's when our standard procedures here aboutwhat you've done since the last time
we came on. Yeah, sogo to www dot team, gateway to
a cure dot org and you canget more information about caregiver support, educating
(28:56):
the caregivers, learning more about whathospice truly is. It's my dad was
on hospice for four years. Youdon't have to be on your deathbed to
you know, get the benefits ofhospice services. Yeah, and it's just
it's educating yourself more on what resourcesand programs are out there financially and emotionally
(29:19):
physically to support the caregiver in thehome. So that's really important. And
next Monday, we'll talk a lotabout TBI traumatic brain injuries. We'll talk
a lot about concussions, that sortof thing, but also how nutrition can
play in an inspiring role in combatingthe injury of TBIs. It's really impowerful.
(29:44):
Yeah, you know, I likewhat you said, folks. So
there you've got got concussions, TBI. What you say is traumatic brain injuries,
right, And what was the otherone you wanted to talk about?
Christian plays a huge impact on thedegeneration of the brain, injuries, concussions,
neurological disorders. Very good. Wellthere you go to folks out.
(30:08):
Now you have a preview for whatwe're going to do next week's edition of
No Limits. So great show,Jennifer. Hope you enjoy our concert tonight
and looking forward to doing this withyou next next Monday. Yeah, we
got there. We're ahead of Mondaynight football, so let make sure you
learn a lot about what occurs onthe field. Again, I emphasize this
(30:30):
a lot. Okay, what Jenniferand I are doing, we are partnering
up on this is we want tomake sure we do everything in our power,
right Jen to make sure we getawareness to find a cure for Parkinson's
disease. All we can do isjust work our tail out to do that.
And as I alluded to it atthe top of the show, again,
we want to make sure that ourdeepest condolences are so all those individuals
(30:55):
and eleven that lost their lives.Our hearts are always with you and if
you ever have an opportunity to goto New York City and be able to
look at that site, it issomething that will go out there and really
hit you personally. But I thinkit's something everybody should do. I was
been there a couple of times,and I actually saw the Twin Towers many
years ago when I cover the Lionsand the Giants actually on a Monday night
(31:18):
football, or it was actually thereSunday night football, but I had a
cab driver take me around and itwas unbelievable. But nothing more evidence and
when I went out there again before, so again our deepest condolences to them.
But I'm glad that Jennifer and Ihad a chance to talk about nine
to eleven and a whole lot more. So I want to mention one last
time in case you didn't hear it, and see you know No Limits is
