Entrance Marianna Rivera. 98 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: If you were a baseball player in the two thousands 99 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 2: and you heard this song, the game's over. 100 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 3: You don't even need to take your at bat and 101 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: the game is over. Chris, my question to you when 102 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: you hear this, do you think of Virginia ten coming 103 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: out for a football game or Mariano Rivera coming out 104 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: of the bullpen? 105 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: Oh? 106 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: That is a that is a very tough one right there, 107 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: because I firmly do believe that the Virginia Tech football 108 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: interest is the best one in college football. You could 109 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: tell me others have more tradition, but in terms of 110 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: getting me most amped up for a football game, I 111 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: even say Virginia Tech's interests better than some NFL one. 112 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: So that is a tough one right there. But I 113 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: got to give it to Rivera. I mean, Hall of Famer. 114 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: There's no song that if you played baseball, especially in 115 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball in two thousands, you heard that song Fear, 116 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: instant fear, the game was over. Everybody could go home. 117 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: Dan your thoughts on Inner Sandman. 118 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 4: Eder Samad is a song when I used to do 119 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: morning radio and I would be driving in Chicago at 120 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 4: three in the morning with the windows down in that 121 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: song blasting all the way up, driving ninety miles an 122 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 4: hour was a really good way to wake up early morning. Hours. 123 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 4: So that's a good one. And by the way, you'll 124 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: big scorpion over it. But that's a I think a 125 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: Mariano Rivera. Whenever I see that the college football one 126 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: and they're all jumping up and down, I'm like, wow, 127 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 4: that is a massive feeling right there. 128 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: By the way, Happy sixty second birthday to Metallica drummer 129 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: Lars Ulrich.
