But also more importantly, or more broadly speaking, 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.960 we're in the sweet spot on the calendar anytime sporting calendar. 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.840 I'm talking about in the game of life. The game 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.280 of life. Well that's why I said thanks, Okay, I 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.080 shouldn't interrupt you because I know you never know what 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.640 turn you're gonna take or what straight away you're going 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.880 to open it up and haul ass down. So I'm 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:13.640 just gonna let you go. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.560 Did you if you're within the sound of our voices. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:18.840 Are you on your way out of work?

Because you stop off for a morning belt. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.680 You get to take a lot more days off. They 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.920 just give them to you off for the holidays, or 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.119 you can cash in on some of your vacation time 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.880 some of the time when you're at work, or if 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.960 you're young enough, still at school. A lot of the 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.959 classes are not going to be normal. It's going to 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.640 be party time, presents coming, presents, going.

In college football professional 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.040 football playoff spots could be decided based on the outcome 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.560 of games this coming Sunday. Now, the NBA is boring 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.639 as all hell as far as I'm concerned. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.280 Don't watch. That's not important to be checking that out 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:31.720 right now. 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.680 Yes, I'm a football calendar. We really got some good 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:35.280 things going. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:39.480 We definitely do. And it is a very consequential Week 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.320 twelve upcoming here. We'll dig in on that. You're off 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.760 with the Chargers play by play, so you can really 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.040 lean into your roots. You can watch the Chicago Bears. 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.520 There are many photos floating around of a young Matt 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.400 money Smith wearing a Walter Payton jersey. There there are 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.320 front of a Christmas tree on the south side. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.520 I had a Walter Payton jersey when I was a 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.800 little kid, and it was the the old one that 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.080 had the three quarter sleeves on it, you know, so 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.240 it wasn't really like an official jersey. It was like 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.120 the one you would buy at Sears Roebuck, you know, 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.000 that was the knockoff. And then I believe I had 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.240 a Jim McMahon jersey. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.119 I've seen you in the nine jersey as well. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:15.720 Yeah, those were the two that I had when I 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.880 was a little kid, and then I had the and 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.760 I think the I think the Jim McMahon jersey might 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.360 have come in the hutch play set if I ran 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.640 the helmet with the helmet, yeah, that may be how 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:26.520 I had the number nine. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.799 That's a fun game to play. Can you name every 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.680 team's representative from against say nineteen eighty two and nineteen 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.880 eighty four ish? What was who was the chosen figure? 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.880 The thirty two, the eighty eight for Lynn Swan if 0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.239 you were a Steelers guy with the Jack Lambert obviously 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:46.680 with Tony Thorpe set for the Cowboys. Speaking of the Cowboys, 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.719 I don't want to jump over what I was. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.880 You know what, Let me do this real quick, just real, 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.560 real quick, and then you can get right back to it. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.120 Your company, man, I want to mention you got a shill. Well, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.039 it's a big one because we're talking about the NFL, 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.680 and the NFL chose the Petros and Honey Show all 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.680 right for their grand prize, for their big grand prize 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.800 drawing that we're going to pull today. Every single day 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.400 this week, including today, we are going to give away 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.840 and gave away one hundred dollars NFL Shop gift card. 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.279 Now we've got four winners. We'll get one more today. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:16.960 We're going to do that in the four o'clock hour, 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.000 and then in the five o'clock hour, we are going 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.440 to pull that grand prize winner. That grand prize winner 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.159 is going to get a two night's day at Resorts World, 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.760 Las Vegas and a four pack to see Raiders Broncos 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:32.080 at Allegiant Stadium on December seventh. So Resorts World, if 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.640 you've ever been there, you know, victory lap starts in 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.520 the lap of luxury, premium rooms, bold flavors, and knights 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.440 that play to win. That's what Resorts World is football, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.200 and it's a reminder to watch Good Morning Football overtime 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.479 weekdays at four pm. I know you watch every single 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.839 day Fox eleven Plus with Kyle Brandt, Jamie Erdahl, and 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.360 Manti Tale. Manti joined us a little bit earlier this week. 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.520 That was a sensational conversation with Notre Dame in the 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:56.920 college play. 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.360 Let's not get sidetracked with that because I think that 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.640 consumes the next nine hours, whether we're whether we're on that. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.919 To your point, I said, Tony Dorset would be the 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.920 Cowboys rep And you said, speaking of the Cowboys. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.200 Well, I was going to say, not skipping over what 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.320 is a deeply important for the teams that are trying 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.880 to get into the best possible spot or just get 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.320 into the January NFL tournament upcoming here. I mean Bucks 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.080 and Rams is huge here. You know, both of those 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.200 teams probably are going to get in. I don't know 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:28.359 if the Bucks definitely do. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.240 If they drop this one, the Panthers really going to 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.640 win the South? What other team could possibly win the 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.119 NFC South than the Bucks? Like, not the Falcons. Well, people, 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.720 it's the Panthers. But they blew that game against the 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.360 Saints that really dealt them. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:41.080 You know. 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.000 That's that's why I look at the Bucks like, eh. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.719 Well, I say all the time, you know they people 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.400 always talk about life is short, life is also long. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.359 That also applies to a pro football season. Certainly you 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.440 feel like, oh, it's gone so fast, and sure it has, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.680 but also things happen that people don't fully notice. We 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.920 signed off somewhere around late September on the Bucks being 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.839 a contender for the Super Bowl. If you've been paying 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.600 attention to them, they ain't great. The Rams are really 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.560 coming to deepy. Oh yeah, that was a big conversation 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:11.760 a couple few weeks ago. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:13.360 It's Matthew Stafford in the Rams. 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.320 That was also the conversation on one around one Daniel Jones, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.720 who has the Chiefs this weekend important to Chargers fans 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.000 of course, and Broncos fans within the sound of our 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.200 voice too, because. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.960 Big win for the Bolts last night with the Texans 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:26.880 taking out the Bills. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.760 Absolutely if the Colts. If you look at it, it's 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.240 kind of eight nine teams trying to squeeze into those 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.280 seven spots available in the AFC. And I'll tell you 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.440 the Steelers better not lose to your bears. Are They're 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.920 in some real jeopardy of missing out. You can go 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.520 through a number of games, and perhaps we will over 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.680 the course of this, but I was going to mention 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.840 about America's alleged team. The Dallas Cowboys are part of 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:52.760 a trio of games that you may hold up as 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.240 the best Thanksgiving trio of games that we've seen in 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.520 the last couple of decades. 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.760 I mean this coming Thanksgi. We're not talking about Cowboys 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:00.880 ego on Sunday. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.679 I'm talking about No, I'm cat coming the first. 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:05.720 Day, we're jumping to the bird and you got a 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.400 ten am, you got a one pm, and now we 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.760 got the five pm for Thanksgiving Day. Yeah, you're talking 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:13.680 about the trio. 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.120 And you go, I mean, let whether the Chiefs win 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.840 or lose this Sunday they play in Big d and 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.360 if the Cowboys, and I kind of think they are 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.400 going to beat the Eagles given the way the Eagles 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.559 have been tracked, a messing, a little bit of messing 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.720 with fire, and I feel like Dallas. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.920 They really kind of solidified itself with the returning to 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.280 Kobe Dean, and it just feels like you can't run 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:36.000 on them anymore. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.320 I hear you. But on the other side of that, 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.320 on the other side of that, I don't want to 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.439 get sidetracked too far away from Los Angeles right out 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.079 of the gate here. But you do wonder looking at 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.359 the NFL, was Jerry Jones right to not sign Micah Parsons. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.840 Well, look, it's a one game sample and it was 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.440 against the Raiders, who are terrible. But Quinn Williams is 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.880 dominant himself. Announced reminded everyone that you remember when Quinn 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.960 Williams was the guy that everyone said was yeah, there's 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.480 Aaron Jones with then chest right behind Aaron Jones, there's 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.280 Chris Jones, and there's Aaron Donald. I'm sorry Aaron Donald. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.080 Right behind him is is Chris Jones, and this Quinn 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.440 Williams and Quinn might be better than like That was 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.079 an actual conversation. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.719 The effect for the first twenty years of this millennium 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.520 were do not sign any New England Patriots because if 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.080 you expect them to perform on the level that they 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.360 did in Foxborough, it's fools gold. It doesn't transfer. Chargers 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.480 learned that with JC Jackson, right, well, so many teams 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.160 did horrible. The opposite is true with the Jets. If 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:37.800 you got to like a guy, you liked them come 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.600 out of school. But the Jets drafted him like a 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:42.960 little get him because he's been he has the stake 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.880 of the Jets on him. You can't hold that against him. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:50.040 Right, So you got Chiefs Cowboys the afternoon one could well, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.360 if Joe Burrow's healthy and he's going to be playing, 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:54.560 that's the night one. Yeah, that's the night one is 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.120 Dangles Baltimore. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.840 That's deeply important for the Chargers and Steelers and Texan 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.160 in Broncos and everybody. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.520 You said you said eight or nine, it's eleven, like 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:09.400 that's this year. The AFC is now I'm not not 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.600 by my team. Right, So you've got four division winners 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:18.040 right right now as it stands, Colts, Patriots, Steelers, and Broncos. 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:19.960 Right, Colts lose, Let me just say this to you. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.560 Colts lose to the Chiefs, which obviously there their favorite 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.480 to lose that game. Beware the Jacksonville Jaguars the pleasure 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.160 of no, They're going to prove my point now. So 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:39.680 there's your four winners right now, here's your wild card Chargers, right, Bill's, Jags, Texans, Ravens, Chiefs. 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.520 That's eleven already, that's ten. We're now with ten teams 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.800 and i haven't even gotten to the there's one more 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:52.119 that I'm forgetting. Well, what's wild is is the inversion 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.560 of what you think are the best teams. You have 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.480 the Broncos and Patriots, who nobody thinks are the two 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:58.040 actual best. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.320 Tis ten. It's ten teams fighting for seven spots. Three 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.160 are going right now. The wildcard teams are the Chargers, Bills, 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.760 and Jags, meaning the Texans, Chiefs, and Ravens are currently 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.280 on the outside. Looking in well, and I suspect that 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.559 a lot of those teams are, or at least one 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.440 or two of those teams are going to overtake who's 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.360 in front of them in the standings right now, I 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.680 do think the Ravens are going to surpass the Steelers. 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.360 That doesn't give another Steelers out. Yeah, the Steelers are, 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.400 They'll be out, not in the playoffs. Look, if they 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.439 lose to the Bears, this would be a big one. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.960 It might swing some things. But they still have after 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:35.160 this one Buffalo at Detroit and two more with the Ravens. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.680 I mean they could, you know, not ideal. 0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.880 They're tracking towards nine to eight with the loss to 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.600 the Bears, or maybe even eight to nine, and that 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.040 might spell the end for Mike Tomlin, which would be something. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.400 In the meantime, speaking of those Steelers, I don't want 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.760 to get ugly. I just was celebrating where we are 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.360 on the calendar and all of that. But a couple 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.640 of Sunday nights ago, yeah, I. 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.360 Was absolutely wrecked by the Chargers. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.000 The Steelers did it was an embarrassment. Yeah I didn't. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.520 I didn't show up. I protected you on Claude Van 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.679 damashek Yeah, zero for nine on third class half fool. 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:09.839 You know that doesn't really understand the world. Rodgers scared 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:14.120 as as any man in his forties or an old 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.800 man is more aware of his mortality than a twenty 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.640 three year old. So of course, display Peyton and Brady 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.880 and anyone else of that age. When he sees a 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.280 sizeable guy running towards him very fast, his move is 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:28.840 to turtle or to get rid of the ball so 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.720 he doesn't take a smack. So that's Aaron Rodgers. And 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.440 now now he's a broken left wrist. How's he going 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.800 to defend himself. How's he's gonna throw the ball away? 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.600 So how he's gonna do it against the bear? So 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.320 back to that Sunday night game, the Chargers dominated. I 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.199 think if you are a Bolts fan, you probably a 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.440 car really Smith, I loved. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.200 It, touchdown Chargers one. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.880 Yeah, that was said that all the time, over and over, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.960 and Daniel Jeremi was like, I told you about Justin Herbert. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.600 I told you he was going to be the best 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.400 of them all and all that kind of crap. Whenever 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.760 he claims after the fact. Anyway, but I'm sure you 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.640 were having a wonderful time, as were the people who 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.440 weren't waiving terrible towels in the stadium that night. I 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.720 was glad I didn't go, you know, I I there 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.360 would have been a price was quite substantial. Yeah, that 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.720 would have been a terrible night. There was the Gills, 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.520 John and Koschek wanted to go. I said, I got 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:26.480 a hunch about this one. I don't think we should bother, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:27.320 and we didn't. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:29.640 That's that's a topic that I can continue to address 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.440 over and over again. Just the great dist service you 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:33.880 did to your son that. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.839 Yeah, I should have made him a Chargers fan. He'd 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:36.439 be much happier. 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.960 Should have madehi a Dodger fan. He's allowed to do 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:43.600 whatever a Laker fan, a Charger or Rams fan. You 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.559 know why because he was born in Los Angeles, he 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.000 was raised in Los Angeles. His pals at school are 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.360 all showing up and talking about the Laker game from 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.440 the night before and the Kings winning the Stanley Cup 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.400 back to back years. That's what they're all talking about. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.319 They're talking about Justin Herbert. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.200 He's been around to celebrate a couple of Cups won 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:05.200 by the Black and Gold. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.280 How many games did he see the Black and Gold 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:08.559 play the year they won the Cup. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.880 At least a couple Okay, they make their swing through 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:12.520 so cowo. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.960 You could have taken them to twenty Kings games. You 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.400 could have season tickets to the Kings and the It 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.440 could be enjoying, you know, like the. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.520 Real fans like Snoop Dog he loves it. Yeah, that's who. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.360 That would be, my contemporary, Just. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.240 An old man and his son and sharing the moments 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.440 that you and your dad shared because you were a 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.360 kid growing up in Pittsburgh going to see the Panthers, 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.360 going to see the Steelers, going You went to the games, 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:39.720 and those are the memories. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.040 We go to the games too. We didn't go to 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.600 this one, and we dodged a bullet. As it turned out, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.840 I was quite wise to steer him. I didn't know 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.400 that roots were meaningless. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.720 Tore they are meaningless. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:52.240 Yes, Kate, let me get this straight. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:52.840 Check. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.080 Your son is born in Los Angeles. Yes, raised in 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.560 Los Angeles, educated in Los Angeles, play. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.600 High school football in Los Angeles with a bunch of 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.320 football playing buddies. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.840 And you're forcing him to be a Pittsburgh fan. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.480 I won't be represented like that. That's that's ugly from 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.920 both of you. I know you put it. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:15.600 No, you put it on him, you put you had 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.520 him in Steelers ones eaes and you had him in 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:21.600 Pittsburgh Penguin sweaters when he was a little kid. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.320 Oh yeah, what what a disgrace to the colors of 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.760 the city. It is now. Listen, he's he's his own 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:30.360 free will. 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:34.400 It's not his free will to please his old man. 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.720 He wants a cheer for another pro football team. He 0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:39.160 just can't do it within my four on that bus. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.840 He wants the approval of his old man. Old man 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:42.960 to go look at my luck. 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.080 Come on, well, listen, he has a terrible town. He 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:47.680 owns one. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.640 I owned no reason for him to have one. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.600 Well guess what you know? 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.600 What him of those chains that bind him. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.520 I'm not going to do it and instead tend to 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:57.280 your own house. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:58.080 I do. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.240 I got it. But you know how excited I didn't 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.280 talk about your girls? 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:01.880 What do you mean? 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.320 My girls love baseball. They're big Dodger fans. You know 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.240 how excited they've been these last ten years. They celebrated. 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.560 And I was sitting on the couch watching Game seven 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.080 or Game six with my daughter. Game seven, I watched 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.160 in Nashville because were on the road with the Titans. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.920 But I'm watching watching the game with my daughter. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.960 She's all like the movie with Vigo Mortensen where he 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.760 was a bad guy who's like a gangster murderer Green Book. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.640 No not no, he was like a murder and then 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.080 he goes to some small town. Yeah, and then the 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.240 mobsters come to get him. He's like, I left that 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.880 life behind. That's Matt money Smith. He's he's ashamed of 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.400 his roots. He doesn't want anybody to know. He's Oh no, 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.520 I'm on the surfboard. 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.520 He's he's robbing out Chicago in nineteen ninety one, I 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.320 was seventeen years old. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:49.960 I've been here for thirty three years, thirty years out 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:53.000 in the ocean, like yes, like like he's layered Hamlet the. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:57.640 Second I run the South side of Chicago again until 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.440 nineteen ninety one? Would I hang on to that when 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.399 I've got the glorious Dodger Stadium and the boys in 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.280 blue for the boys in summer and daughters that love 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.119 going to the ballpark. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.480 In January of nineteen eighty six, was it a special day? 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:16.000 Was it a special year? In fact? With you and 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.240 your old man, my brothers. When the Chicago Bears whipped 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.119 all but the Dolphins. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.439 Barely remember it. I'm not kidding. I remember it, but 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.679 not like it with some sort not like I not 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.600 like I remember well. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:32.720 Ironic, iron they see. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.640 But that's the interesting thing about championships is you think 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.720 it's gonna be this seminal moment of your your sporting 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.800 you know, your sporting fandom, and it just, I don't know, 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:48.720 it just ends up kind of being like, aw, all right, 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.720 well that happened. Now what are we going to do? 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.919 You speak for yourself if that's how it resonates it. 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.680 I did go out and celebrate in the streets when 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.600 I was a Laker season ticket holder in two thousand, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.159 because I went to damn near every single regular season 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.960 game in almost every I think I went to every 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:10.720 single postseason game, including the historic one against Portland, the 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.640 coming back from seventeen down in the fourth, the Kobe shack, 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.480 and when they won the title that year, a pal 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:20.560 and I went into the streets and celebrate them. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.239 I loved that Lakers rally in the fourth quarter. I 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.920 remember it well. They stopped posting Rashid Wallace, who was 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.720 killing them the whole game and the Lakers overcame out 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.120 it hipp and melted down. I listen, I can live 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.920 in the moment and enjoy what's going on locally, I said, 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.240
