Speaker 1: hinting at this for a while, like John Turnas has been,
Speaker 1: you know, taking a bigger role in like their product
Speaker 1: announcements and stuff. So it's not a huge surprise to
Speaker 1: the insiders. But yeah, Tim's getting old. He's he's I mean,
Speaker 1: what ten xt this company since he took over, so
Speaker 1: he has made that company wealthy beyond their imaginations even

Speaker 1: Social Security And.
Speaker 2: To see what they gave him as a parting gift Android,
Speaker 2: that's the weirdest thing.
Speaker 3: That's nice of him. I thought it was.
Speaker 2: Thank you hex Elverson and.
Speaker 3: They gave him an orange.
Speaker 2: That would have been better. I wish I had thought
Speaker 2: of that one.
Speaker 3: They also gave him an Xbox take that man.
Speaker 2: Not bad.
Speaker 3: You know what's not bad. It's not the worst thing.
Speaker 3: It's okay to go. That's not bad.
Speaker 2: The top spot as far as states go, they wouldn't
Speaker 2: kill you. The top spot as far as states go,
Speaker 2: when it comes to the number of imposter scams, would
Speaker 2: take you all day to identify. The number one state
Speaker 2: for imposter scams is Delaware. Digital Banking review platforms broke.
Speaker 2: Why is that? Honestly, why is that? Do you have
Speaker 2: a reason why it makes?
Speaker 3: Just no taxes and such like.
Speaker 7: I feel like that Delaware is a sort of financial
Speaker 7: financial hold place.
Speaker 2: Oh, Delaware stronghold place. I'm in Delaware, I mean Delaware.
Speaker 2: Digital banking review platform broker Chooser compile the rankings by
Speaker 2: examining scam reports made to the Federal Trade Commission. Researchers
Speaker 2: say delawareans that's how it really is, said experienced the
Speaker 2: most imposter scams, with nine hundred and thirty reports per
Speaker 2: one million people and residents lost it combined two and
Speaker 2: a half million dollars. That's num very much. Delaware is
Speaker 2: followed by Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, and Florida. I thought it
Speaker 2: was gonna be way more than it. Still, stop trying
Speaker 2: to scam me, Stop scamming baby.
Speaker 6: Just I heard about a scam the other day of
Speaker 6: again targeting the elderly, where Rosie Hockey. The scammer is
Speaker 6: calling like a grandmother and saying and then following it
Speaker 6: up with using AI to mimic the grand like saying
Speaker 6: I have your granddaughter and mimicking her voice and saying,
Speaker 6: you know, we we have your granddaughter and here she is, grandma.
Speaker 2: Help me yeap. In fact, they're saying, now if you
Speaker 2: can to stop recording your own voicemail greeting like, hey,
Speaker 2: this is Chris. You you missed me, Please leave a message,
Speaker 2: because that's how they get the AI to copy your voice.
Speaker 4: Dang well, they're never gonna have clear audio to access
Speaker 4: our voice.
Speaker 3: No way, how would they ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, if you get a call from me asking
Speaker 2: to see your things, it's AI. It's not really me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dad, don't answer your phone when HOT calls any.
Speaker 2: Please just get on Fat and Sassy. That was me.
Speaker 3: That's my outgoing voicemail.
Speaker 2: Will you follow instructions?
Speaker 3: That's true, I'm fat and sassy.
Speaker 6: Please.
Speaker 2: In Fairfax County, Virginia, I finally arrested a man only
Speaker 2: known as m rosen Oh, accused of breaking into several
Speaker 2: homes while wearing nothing but shoes.
Speaker 3: What hang on here, mom.
Speaker 2: The man is accused of breaking into several homes in
Speaker 2: northern Virginia over the past several weeks. Drones were able
Speaker 2: to pinpoint where the man was after police spotted him
Speaker 2: walking down the street just after five am last week.
Speaker 2: Please have been staking out a home in Centerville hope
Speaker 2: of finding him. He was arrested in charge with multiple
Speaker 2: counts of burglary and indecent exposure.
Speaker 4: You know, I actually think it's an interesting strategy because
Speaker 4: if you saw a naked person walking down the street,
Speaker 4: my guess is they'd be harder to identify by face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you're just you're like, whoa, what is happening?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 4: Then they throw a police lineup, and then you're like,
Speaker 4: if you depants this person, I might have a chance.
Speaker 3: But otherwise I don't. I didn't get a good look
Speaker 3: at their face.
Speaker 2: A naked man walking down street. I would go, hey, Pa,
Speaker 2: you gotta be on A nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're going the wrong way, Pa, the studio's that way. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Please don't arise with the guys right now, please winner.
Speaker 2: Rule of three?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well done?
Speaker 6: Do one that before?
Speaker 8: Though?
Speaker 2: Don't they can no he already did.
Speaker 9: The guy's a professional stand up comedian. He can who
Speaker 9: yeah says who came on? Uh pa, keep your privates
Speaker 9: to yourself A joke.
Speaker 2: I mean that would be something to say. I get
Speaker 2: you right, I mean what two?
Speaker 3: Three?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Good? One? Tony's got my back ware?
Speaker 1: Do you go?
Speaker 2: Bones?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Thanks, Bo? Not bad Paul.
Speaker 2: Or Bones Highland and wise Bones Higland not getting any play.
Speaker 2: I love Bones, no bull.
Speaker 3: He was terrible in game one, but he was legit
Speaker 3: last night.
Speaker 8: That was.
Speaker 2: Yester complained about Bones and not getting enough playing time.
Speaker 2: So I that's an old take. My apologies.
Speaker 3: Have played ten minutes last night, scored thirteen points. Instant offense.
Speaker 3: That's his role, instant offense. Yeah, he's good and joke.
Speaker 6: He's not a great defender, and so if he doesn't
Speaker 6: play big minutes, it's usually because they need more defense
Speaker 6: than offense.
Speaker 2: We should talk more sport. Let's got a breaking talk
Speaker 2: sports because there's lot's going on.
Speaker 4: Yeh, Jason Zucker after this too. Let's talk a Buffalo
Speaker 4: Sabers hockey for a second, because our guy Jason is
Speaker 4: in the postseason and he's on his way to practice.
Speaker 3: He's calling us in a second Power Trot Money.
Speaker 1: Show joined the Powerstrip Morning Show up at Grandview Lodge
Speaker 1: April thirtieth and May first, I miss out on your
Speaker 1: shot to win great prize including a custom at Cafeane
Speaker 1: and Grandview, Cold branded golf bag at Taylor Made Driver
Speaker 1: and more. Oh and we mentioned a two night Grandview
Speaker 1: stay with food, golf, any massage at their spot at
Speaker 1: all the details at Cafe dot com slash Grandview.
Speaker 2: Hey Zach, go stick around because you are a hockey fan.
Speaker 2: I've been told you like hockey, you like the sport
Speaker 2: of hockey. And we have a guest on right now
Speaker 2: who's a player in the sport of hockey professionally. Ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, Welcome back to the show, Jason Zucker.
Speaker 3: Jason holds up. Guys, Good morning, man, what are you there?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 8: I'm doing well? How about you, guys?
Speaker 3: Oh, you know the same. We're great, the same old stuff.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: Dude. The Buffalo Sabers are in the postseason. It's been
Speaker 3: a minute.
Speaker 4: But not only are you guys in the postseason, you're
Speaker 4: actually up one nothing on the Boston Bruins game that
Speaker 4: I gained two six thirty. Is the town just absolutely
Speaker 4: going nuts that you guys are finally a factor.
Speaker 8: Man, It's it's honestly been the craziest thing I've ever
Speaker 8: seen and been a part of. And I've been lucky
Speaker 8: enough to play for some unbelievable fan bases from Minnesota
Speaker 8: to Pittsburgh to Nashville, SUVNT caught up to Perish and
Speaker 8: that level. But overall, you know, seeing this now is
Speaker 8: for sure the craziest fan base I've ever seen. They've
Speaker 8: gone absolutely bananas. It's insanity everywhere in the city. But
Speaker 8: it's been really fun to see.
Speaker 5: Is what's the Bills Mafia version for the Buffalo Sabers.
Speaker 8: Man, there's guys that are in full gear rollerblading around town,
Speaker 8: like flasting their sticks on the ground, like fighting dummies
Speaker 8: in the you know, out front of the arena and
Speaker 8: the plaza there. Like it's been it's been another level
Speaker 8: of and I think part of it is obviously how
Speaker 8: long it's been since Buffalo has been in the playoffs
Speaker 8: and been able to have playoff hockey. And you know,
Speaker 8: I have been told a million times how great of
Speaker 8: a hockey town this is. But until you get to
Speaker 8: experience at you you obviously take it all with a
Speaker 8: grain of salt. But everything I was told is absolutely
Speaker 8: true and it's been fun. It's been fun to see.
Speaker 4: So what changed this season, Jason, Because I know, like
Speaker 4: a month into the season, Buffalo's record was garbage. I
Speaker 4: know a lot of Wild fans were hoping that Buffalo
Speaker 4: was going to keep failing because they wanted Tage Thompson
Speaker 4: to somehow be miraculously available in a trade. Right, that
Speaker 4: was the dream scenarios. How can we get our hands
Speaker 4: on Tage? But basically, since that point, like right maybe
Speaker 4: late November, early December, you guys have been one of
Speaker 4: the best teams in the NHL. So what changed from
Speaker 4: the first month of the season to the rest of it?
Speaker 8: You know, I think that switch is kind of hard
Speaker 8: to figure out, obviously, and I think it was a
Speaker 8: big coincidental with with the general manager change, but because
Speaker 8: realistically nothing really changed, you know, with with the team
Speaker 8: and with the players and all of that. But I
Speaker 8: do think there's ah anytime somebody gets fired in the organization,
Speaker 8: it obviously is a reflection of the players and how
Speaker 8: you're playing and obviously not doing your job or he
Speaker 8: would still have his job. So there's a there's a
Speaker 8: sense of responsibility from the player side, and I think
Speaker 8: it kind of lit a fire under everyone's ass a
Speaker 8: little bit and just kind of wanted to, you know,
Speaker 8: change it all. And I give a ton of credit
Speaker 8: to all of our all of our younger guys and
Speaker 8: core guys that have been here a while, the Tas
Speaker 8: Thompson's and Dolan's and Tucks and and them of the world,
Speaker 8: because you know, they've been the ones trying to you know,
Speaker 8: keep it on the rails and put it in the
Speaker 8: right position for for a while. And obviously it's been tough,
Speaker 8: but being able to do it this year and then
Speaker 8: sustain it for a long period of time has been,
Speaker 8: you know, been a good change for us.
Speaker 3: What was that four goal comeback like on Sunday?
Speaker 8: I mean it was insane. Boston played an unreal game.
Speaker 8: I mean we were out shooting him, but it just
Speaker 8: felt like, you know, they they just they got a
Speaker 8: couple of goals. The first one seemed to be a
Speaker 8: bit of a lucky bounce, and you know, going down
Speaker 8: to not that early, you know, I think that was
Speaker 8: in the early in the third. You know, we just
Speaker 8: wanted to stay on them. They really sit back and
Speaker 8: in a trap and and just have four or five
Speaker 8: guys back in the new zone the whole game. So
Speaker 8: for us, it was just about trying to stay on
Speaker 8: them and and pressure him enough that we can get
Speaker 8: around swaymen and get a couple of goals. And you know, Tomer,
Speaker 8: his hands are ridiculous, he's touch an unreal player. Obviously
Speaker 8: made a couple of great plays to get us back
Speaker 8: into it and then being able to take the lead.
Speaker 8: I think the you know, the ceiling came off the
Speaker 8: arena for a bit. It was it was pretty special.
Speaker 8: It was fun to be a part of.
Speaker 6: Hey, Jason, what's it like to play for Lindy Roff
Speaker 6: as someone who is so established and when the trend
Speaker 6: in professional sports seems to be going for coaches who
Speaker 6: are younger and younger, and here is a guy.
Speaker 4: Who is.
Speaker 6: Seasoned but also a legend in the game. What is
Speaker 6: Lindy like as a coach and also just as a
Speaker 6: guy off the ice?
Speaker 8: You know, he's as far as the coaching goes there,
Speaker 8: it's good and the bad that he's been around as
Speaker 8: long as he has. It's great because he's been through
Speaker 8: absolutely everything, right, He's been through every playoffs, here he
Speaker 8: can possibly be through. You know, he's had unbelievable seasons
Speaker 8: where they won the President's Trophy and had some that
Speaker 8: they're a lottery pick team and it's good to have
Speaker 8: that experience, fund a bench in the locker room and
Speaker 8: all those things. The negative to that is that you
Speaker 8: can't get away with anything because he's Sean absolutely everything
Speaker 8: as well, so he knows all the tricks of the
Speaker 8: trade from all the players side, you know, being pre
Speaker 8: Madonna's and everything else. But it's good for our group.
Speaker 8: It's good to keep everyone at check. It's good to
Speaker 8: uh have somebody like that too, you know, to lead
Speaker 8: us and for us to follow and kind of have
Speaker 8: everything dialed in all the time. So it's been great
Speaker 8: in off ice. He's an he's an unbelievable guy. He's uh,
Speaker 8: he's absolutely hilarious, loves joking around, likes to keep the
Speaker 8: mood light and uh, you know, he's been a great
Speaker 8: help for us.
Speaker 7: And do you uh, I mean, are you aware how
Speaker 7: much the Sabers are becoming not just I know it's
Speaker 7: you're big and Buffalo, but becoming the Nationals. Like the
Speaker 7: story of the NHL playoffs and the national amount of
Speaker 7: attention that you are receiving. I mean, can you and
Speaker 7: the team feel that which is kind of gathering around
Speaker 7: you right now?
Speaker 8: You know, it's always hard to measure it on more
Speaker 8: of a national level, but from you know, the local
Speaker 8: side has been so enormous that, uh, it's kind of
Speaker 8: consumed us in that sense, and uh, you know again,
Speaker 8: it's it's just been crazy to see it. You know,
Speaker 8: we obviously see some of the national stuff, but you know,
Speaker 8: obviously right now we're we're really trying not to follow
Speaker 8: any of it, to just keep our head down and
Speaker 8: look at look one game ahead and kind of move
Speaker 8: on from there. But overall, it's it has been fun,
Speaker 8: you know for me, obviously I've only been here, you know,
Speaker 8: two years now, but this like seeing this fan base
Speaker 8: rallied this much behind the team and be able to
Speaker 8: enjoy every bit of it. I'm so happy for the
Speaker 8: city and and the fans of the Sabers. It's just been, uh,
Speaker 8: it's been a long time coming for him, and obviously
Speaker 8: they've been through a ton and and now been able
Speaker 8: to be on this side of it. They're they're pretty excited,
Speaker 8: all right, I'll.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Zach. Oh, sorry, Corey go ahead.
Speaker 1: Uh No, there's a lot that is made about, you know,
Speaker 1: emotional victories and how you can go from a come
Speaker 1: from behind win and then you got to get right
Speaker 1: back at it for another game. How do you guys,
Speaker 1: you know, get back settled in, get back and focused
Speaker 1: and keep that whole nice advantage going against the Bruins tonight.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I think for us, we you know, we watched
Speaker 8: a ton of video yesterday because you know, we won
Speaker 8: that game, but we don't feel we played our best game.
Speaker 8: You know, we still had some things to work on
Speaker 8: and and get better, especially knowing that we're you know,
Speaker 8: you're playing the same team over and over. So it
Speaker 8: was good for us to kind of get in yesterday,
Speaker 8: get reset mentally and watch watch the video, realize what
Speaker 8: we did well and what we what we didn't, and uh,
Speaker 8: you know, be ready to get back after tonight.
Speaker 3: All right here, it is a worthless question of the day.
Speaker 4: I when I used to play Wayne Gretzky hockey and
Speaker 4: Nintendo sixty four great game. That was when the Sabers
Speaker 4: had that loos like bad ass, like red, black and
Speaker 4: white jerseys, and now of course they like the blue
Speaker 4: and yellow and white but I think you guys mix
Speaker 4: in the old school ones. Which ones do you prefer?
Speaker 4: Because those man, those old red, black and white ones
Speaker 4: were sick.
Speaker 8: Yea, yeah we we Unfortunately for playoffs, I think you
Speaker 8: have to kick one that you're gonna wear for the
Speaker 8: entirety of the playoffs, and they decided to go with
Speaker 8: with our blue and gold. But the black and red
Speaker 8: goa Ahead is my favorite personally. I think it's unbelievable,
Speaker 8: you know it. For me, it's on the same realm,
Speaker 8: uh in the same realm. Sorry of the Kachina Arizona Coyotes,
Speaker 8: Jersey those are those are two favorites that I personally
Speaker 8: played with and had, But I'm on your side.
Speaker 3: The red and black is another level super cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason Hockey. Question for you living in Buffalo there,
Speaker 2: how great is it to have a casino right beside
Speaker 2: the arena?
Speaker 3: A brother, I knew something was common about.
Speaker 8: There's no chance you haven't been to this casino seventy
Speaker 8: five times. It's actually a great you know there, there's
Speaker 8: a couple of I've been I've been to this one
Speaker 8: a couple of times throughout the last coal years.
Speaker 3: But I think the fans love it.
Speaker 8: Every time I'm driving to the game, I drive right
Speaker 8: past it. I actually was just driving next to it
Speaker 8: thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 3: And it's jam full every single game day.
Speaker 8: So it's obviously a hit.
Speaker 3: Everyone loves it.
Speaker 8: You should come back and check it out.
Speaker 2: I love that little city, man, And I say, I know,
Speaker 2: it's not a little city. You get my point. It
Speaker 2: feels like when you're downtown, it's not a giant city.
Speaker 2: I really like that. I've never been there in the
Speaker 2: summer time. I shouldn't go ahead and qualify that I've
Speaker 2: only been there during football season, but that area downtown
Speaker 2: was like all the Italian restaurants and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I love that place.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been awesome. They you know, it's got everything
Speaker 8: you need, you know. I like having a smaller city personally,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 3: I love where we live. It's a great area.
Speaker 8: You know. All of it's been been awesome and they
Speaker 8: treat us extremely well, so I can't complain it's been great.
Speaker 2: It's been great hearing your voice.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: We missed you here and we're rooting for you. And uh,
Speaker 2: obviously if you I'm not gonna Jason, but if you
Speaker 2: have a certain trophy, we would love to see it
Speaker 2: at some point. How's that I didn't. I didn't jink,
Speaker 2: So is that not Jason?
Speaker 3: That's good?
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, good, good.
Speaker 8: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. Guys. Good do good
Speaker 8: to chat with you, and I hope you guys are
Speaker 8: all doing well.
Speaker 3: Thank you, brother Jason, Thank you guys. Real the Buffalo
Speaker 3: Sabers it's what's the name of that casino? He doesn't know.
Speaker 2: I really don't remember.
Speaker 3: You know, it's great. Is Jason just like you said,
Speaker 3: just drove past it. And my guess is he waived
Speaker 3: just like you did.
Speaker 2: Having a great day there. You know, some people aren't
Speaker 2: having their best day.
Speaker 4: And obviously when you drive by, like all casinos, he
Speaker 4: could just peek in and see if they were having fun.
Speaker 3: And that's all you ever care about.
Speaker 2: That's all I do. Obviously.
Speaker 6: It's called the Seneca Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino.
Speaker 2: It's so imagine you know where the Science Museum Museum
Speaker 2: is by in Saint Paul's sure, imagine that's where a
Speaker 2: casino was compared to where XL or Green.
Speaker 3: I'm going to imagine that all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's across the parking lot.
Speaker 3: You've heard, And then how far is Falls View? Because
Speaker 3: that's is that on the Canada side.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've not been to that one. I've
Speaker 2: only been to Seneca Alleghany and in this one here.
Speaker 3: So how far is Niagara Falls from where Jason is
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 2: Half hour?
Speaker 3: I mean it might be worth the drive to drive
Speaker 3: over the border and wave to some Canadians of Rivadi America. Yep,
Speaker 3: off to Canada.
Speaker 2: I like that guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the best.
Speaker 2: That would be so cool if they want to Yeah.
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup, Sauce. Yeah, and oh.
Speaker 3: The Minnesota Wild make the Stanley Cup Finals, that would
Speaker 3: be great.
Speaker 4: So do the Buffalo Sabers. Yeah that Buffalo and Wild.
Speaker 4: Don't make him do this finals, don't make him do it.
Speaker 3: Are you cheering for the Wild?
Speaker 2: Don't make him do that?
Speaker 4: Or are you cheering for our friend Jason Zucker to
Speaker 4: win a Stanley Cup trophy?
Speaker 3: I me don't think hands would be cheering for the
Speaker 3: Minnesota Wild to win. You want Jason to lose? No,
Speaker 3: I didn't say that. Let's somebody text me to say
Speaker 3: that Sauce wants the Savers to get swept in the
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup finals. But if that were the case, I
Speaker 3: would probably go to a game.
Speaker 2: We would have to go to Buffalo too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'd have to go to Buffalo to the ex
Speaker 5: Salverson and I to what casino Seneca, let's chick out there. Yeah,
Speaker 5: did they have my machine?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I would assume they have my machines and the tim.
Speaker 4: Now would you want this to be a four game
Speaker 4: sweep or would you like Buffalo to win three or four?
Speaker 3: You know, not four?
Speaker 4: I guess I would like it to go seven seven
Speaker 4: and Jason score what a hat trick in every game?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Even the Wild wins? Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well said, so you want him to score something
Speaker 4: like twenty one goals but to lose in seven games?
Speaker 3: Yeah? So historically good performance, but Wild to get the trophy.
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like too much ask or here's another theory.
Speaker 5: I would love the Buffalo Sabers to play the Vegas
Speaker 5: Schoolden Knights.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what the Wild there?
Speaker 3: So you can go watch him play in Vegas? Correct?
Speaker 3: Because I know a guy?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 5: I could you know, say Rivederty to Minnesota, go to
Speaker 5: Las Vegas, Vegas, cover the game, cover the game. We
Speaker 5: could all go. How could go wave at Casino's going
Speaker 5: to slot file.
Speaker 3: I would go. If the Buffalo Sabers were playing, I
Speaker 3: would go. I'd find a way to go for sure.
Speaker 2: Cool for him because he grew up in Vegas.
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, that'd be great for him.
Speaker 6: Plus long flights Vegas to Buffalo if you were going
Speaker 6: to go to both. But but you would do that,
Speaker 6: you would make that sacrifice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I'd go and see them when they played
Speaker 3: in Vegas.
Speaker 2: You're hello man, and then not not Buffalo.
Speaker 4: What if you had to pay for tickets, like Jason
Speaker 4: doesn't get you tickets, you have to pay for him.
Speaker 3: Why get a press pass?
Speaker 4: No, not available, You're not You're not a member of
Speaker 4: the Vegas Golden Knights media or the Buffalo Sabers media.
Speaker 4: Those seats are just for those for those games. They're
Speaker 4: not going to accept random wild members to sit there
Speaker 4: and watch.
Speaker 5: They know you can't read it right, they can tell
Speaker 5: why would do what you would do? I'd occasionally look
Speaker 5: up at the game from whatever slot machine I'm playing.
Speaker 2: Now, you're talking Buffalo Mars. How bad do you want
Speaker 2: to go?
Speaker 9: Right now?
Speaker 6: I am free the rest of the day.
Speaker 2: I think we both got the runs we got to go.

Speaker 2: in Low Cash Cowboys tour bus and Dirk's disappeared and

Speaker 2: to tour buses and poop.

Speaker 8: I love you.
Speaker 2: You're in the Mike Mustla Memorial studio over there by
Speaker 2: the way. You guys know that we have actually call
Speaker 2: it that now cool because we miss him every day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he paid for the sponsorship. Yeah, is that why.
Speaker 2: Tolve pecks to be able to pay homuch.
Speaker 3: We have to paint with like a must fath head
Speaker 3: behind me? Is gonna say?
Speaker 1: Is that why it looks like a garage?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 4: You're right, it.
Speaker 2: Really does know that you say that Dallas zach Is
Speaker 2: hall Airson. Okay, it's a different version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a different version.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a grassy knoll right now.
Speaker 6: Oh, he's hilarious.
Speaker 3: It's time for on the Power Trip presented by.
Speaker 2: I looked through the Justin Jefferson audio, and I didn't
Speaker 2: catch anything that was quite as inflammatory as everybody was
Speaker 2: talking about history regarding having things to say about Justin
Speaker 2: about J. J. McCarthy, Did you guys hear anything?
Speaker 3: It was on ESPN dot com as well.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's basically like, you know, he has to step
Speaker 4: up now because Kyler's in the room.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Here's one of the is that not just obvious?
Speaker 2: Agreed? Agreed? Here's one of the things J. J. Jefferson
Speaker 2: said about JJ McCarthy.
Speaker 13: Sparking up that room a little bit and kind of
Speaker 13: seeing who's going to be that competitor, who's going to
Speaker 13: be that person that is the last man.
Speaker 3: Standing at this situation. It's pretty exciting for me.
Speaker 13: I love those type of battles, that type of competition,
Speaker 13: because you see that in your quarterback. You know, he
Speaker 13: had a whole competition battle to training camp leading into
Speaker 13: the season and you know have everybody on his back
Speaker 13: and rooting for him and excited for him to you know,
Speaker 13: go through the season.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not a competition, right, No, No, it's not.
Speaker 2: I will say yeah, I will say this. We all
Speaker 2: know if he comes in and is obviously better, he'll
Speaker 2: be the starting quarterback. I just don't think anybody expects
Speaker 2: that to be happening. But at any position, if you
Speaker 2: come in after an offseason and you are nineteen feet
Speaker 2: tall and running a four to one forty, you're probably
Speaker 2: going to be the starter. But that said, I get
Speaker 2: your point. Kyler's your starter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kyler's gonna have to fail before j J gets
Speaker 3: a shot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we will see probably if Thursday after or
Speaker 5: Thursday night, if they take the Oregon tight end Kenyon
Speaker 5: Sadik with their eighteenth overall pick, that is another factor
Speaker 5: into Kyler being the starter, because Kyler is very good
Speaker 5: with tight ends. He's very good in that offense. And yeah,
Speaker 5: I just hold on.
Speaker 8: Time.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I don't know why I keep losing my voice.
Speaker 2: Because God's trying to shut you up.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Come on, come on a minute, it's harsh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's pretty good Scott's plan.
Speaker 2: Don't you question the Lord.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 6: Maybe you should have a drink of your poppy.
Speaker 3: I saw him yesterday.
Speaker 2: He did, did you see.
Speaker 3: I just saw him. No, I did not see anybody
Speaker 3: else than Stein. I think the other.
Speaker 5: This offense has got to run a little bit different
Speaker 5: with Kyler, and you're not going to go into training
Speaker 5: camp with a battle at quarterback when the offense with
Speaker 5: JJ is different than the offense.
Speaker 3: You're gonna run with Kyler.
Speaker 5: They're just they just don't want to say it because
Speaker 5: they don't want to crush McCarthy's spirit.
Speaker 2: And there's no need to say it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is no need to say we're fine. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Another story in the NFL that actually, I think in
Speaker 4: a lot of ways will eventually end up catching up
Speaker 4: to the Minnesota Vikings. Did you see the money that
Speaker 4: Brandon Aubrey got from the Cowboys? Yeahis they gave their kicker,
Speaker 4: Brandon Aubrey, a four year deal seven million a year
Speaker 4: with twenty million guaranteed. So he's the highest paid kicker
Speaker 4: in NFL history. He's thirty one years old, most sixty
Speaker 4: plus yard field goals in NFL history. And I'm bringing
Speaker 4: this up is Will Reichert is one of the best
Speaker 4: kickers in the NFL. And he's considerably younger, right, because
Speaker 4: Aubrey's thirty one, what's Will twenty four ish? A couple
Speaker 4: years in So if he played all four years, he's
Speaker 4: somewhere in the twenty four year old range. Right, he's
Speaker 4: twenty five, twenty five, So he's younger and he's elite,
Speaker 4: and he's just a couple of years away from saying, Hey,
Speaker 4: I want him yuhnny seven million a year.
Speaker 3: We're up to now for the best kickers. Yeah, good
Speaker 3: for that. Now again, you might be saying, how is
Speaker 3: this team going to pay seven million.
Speaker 4: Dollars for a kicker? Well, it's as simple as this
Speaker 4: John bonus be tixed.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 2: Well, that's quick.
Speaker 4: Speaking of that, Rob Berzinski was on this station yesterday, right,
Speaker 4: the press conference was run during Common Show. I tuned
Speaker 4: in to see if Rosie was checking in from Italy.
Speaker 3: He didn't, Oh.
Speaker 4: He's in Italy. Well he was in Rome, but or
Speaker 4: even there ge roam off to Tuscany. H So Roberzinski
Speaker 4: did his.
Speaker 3: You know, his pre raft press conference, as all GMS do.
Speaker 4: This is not against Rob because I said the same
Speaker 4: thing with Quazy, said the same thing with Spielman. There
Speaker 4: is nothing in sports more worthless than a pre draft
Speaker 4: press conference. They say, absolutely nothing. What a waste of time.
Speaker 4: Why do reporters even go and show up?
Speaker 2: Because it's better than dead air. I don't know that
Speaker 2: it's programming. I mean, let's be honest, that's it. We
Speaker 2: all need something to talk about.
Speaker 4: Rob seems super nice, but it's just like you just said,
Speaker 4: did justin really say anything CONTROVERSI for the answers know,
Speaker 4: if somebody at the end of Rob's press conference said,
Speaker 4: did we learn anything that we didn't know thirty minutes ago?
Speaker 3: The answer is one zero new information zero, which is fine.
Speaker 4: That such is to provide misinformation, right, So you're not
Speaker 4: getting the truth from any of them, right, which is
Speaker 4: it's the game.
Speaker 5: Grenard was going to be traded. He gave the answer
Speaker 5: every GM Gibbs, we expect him on this team, right,
Speaker 5: what do you think about him? We think he's great.
Speaker 5: I think he's a great player. We expect him on
Speaker 5: this team.
Speaker 4: Now, if you just said I hate that, man, I
Speaker 4: wish you had gone two years ago, I'd say, oh
Speaker 4: my god, Wow, best pre draft press conference of all time.
Speaker 9: Rob Rob's fire and ball, he said, for everybody but
Speaker 9: the pilot, exactly.
Speaker 4: No, that's if Rob like took three questions and then
Speaker 4: did a keg stand yea, I'd say, Wow, there's a
Speaker 4: new era at TCO.
Speaker 3: But no, he was just very standard. Let's play some ball,
Speaker 3: Let's put a little ball here.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: You know he wasn't the starter. I didn't need him.
Speaker 4: The most interesting pre draft press conference was the fact
Speaker 4: that Vrabel didn't show up to his well said.
Speaker 3: Wonder why, I wonder why? Yeah, I just got to
Speaker 3: learn how to swim.
Speaker 2: Learn to swim.
Speaker 3: Thanks for the swim. Learn to swim man, right mark,
Speaker 3: draft two days away.
Speaker 5: Do you guys think and not that this matters? It's
Speaker 5: a sports question. Hawk knows, Martie might care, Bony might
Speaker 5: care because it might help his wife's team. Do you
Speaker 5: guys I think they'll trade Jonathan Garnard because I think
Speaker 5: they will.
Speaker 3: I think could be traded during the draft.
Speaker 2: I hate to steal bumps take, but I couldn't agree
Speaker 2: more with what he said. I can't imagine we're going
Speaker 2: to get a player in the draft as good as
Speaker 2: Jonathan Gernard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I.
Speaker 4: I think they don't want I think he wants a
Speaker 4: huge pay raise. Fist, it doesn't matter. Give it to
Speaker 4: him now, but Dallas whenever you're needing to probably start
Speaker 4: next season, I don't know. I think he's traded.
Speaker 5: The Eagles love to make moves, man, and that's a
Speaker 5: guy they need, and they they are willing to wheel
Speaker 5: all the draft picks.
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 4: We at the point that do you think the Vikings
Speaker 4: are going all in on like a six game window
Speaker 4: for Dallas Turner.
Speaker 3: Don't you think we need insurance that that wasn't flukish? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, Like everybody acts like Dallas
Speaker 4: Turner's a guaranteed superstar and he well, wow, I'm so
Speaker 4: glad we were patient. I'm like, he had a really
Speaker 4: good run, but the bar was so low, so low,
Speaker 4: and now it's everybody is just assuming that he's just
Speaker 4: got it. It's like, how about we make sure that
Speaker 4: he's got it and that wasn't just like a good
Speaker 4: month and a half and Grenard is awesome.
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.
Speaker 7: He's always had that pedigree. He's always had pretty high
Speaker 7: expectations tied do and then he showed those expectations. So
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's that's why people believe in him.
Speaker 7: They've been waiting for it for two years.
Speaker 2: Sonar dog.
Speaker 12: Dog, you got to pay the man, You got to
Speaker 12: pay the nard dog. You got to beat up ooping
Speaker 12: Martin's again. We did this yesterday with Libro, but let's
Speaker 12: do this with you. Scale of one to ten. How
Speaker 12: impressive was Levi Drake Rodriguez on Friday?
Speaker 3: What a cool dude?
Speaker 6: Ten?
Speaker 3: Yeah, ten, yep?
Speaker 6: Great radio.
Speaker 4: How do we get that kind of energy and positivity
Speaker 4: here at iHeart? Like, would Levi Drake Rodriguez be willing
Speaker 4: to work in the promotions department or sales or one
Speaker 4: of the corner offices, work for free?
Speaker 6: I mean, seems like he's got a job right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's got he's got the positivity that this
Speaker 4: building needs. And think about it, like, right now, if
Speaker 4: we have a problem when we text Chad, it takes
Speaker 4: him two point six hours to get down here. Who
Speaker 4: Levi Drake Rodriguez would be the drop foot? But what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, Like, but the time he gets down here,
Speaker 4: the show's over. LEVI would be here in a heartbeat
Speaker 4: with bells on and so happy to help us.
Speaker 3: Like, what do you guys need? I got you. Yeah,
Speaker 3: guy's got positivity, man, he's got energy, well said everybody
Speaker 3: down there's everybody down there is either a morale drain
Speaker 3: or a drop foot, you know.
Speaker 5: So everybody's either Abbot or Common pretty much. Oh no,
Speaker 5: Common calls himself over by the way.
Speaker 4: That was That was my That was my favorite part
Speaker 4: of the press conference was so Rob talked about how
Speaker 4: excited he is because he just loves working with people,
Speaker 4: and right, it's the communication and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: He's just a people person and Common the press conference
Speaker 4: gets over in Common's like, I don't think anybody here
Speaker 4: likes working with anybody here. He was just talking about
Speaker 4: all of us are just difficult to work with, and
Speaker 4: everybody hates everybody, and nobody likes to, you know, collab rain,
Speaker 4: and everybody's a morale drain, and everybody hates each other
Speaker 4: and everybody back talks, and I'm like, yeah, it must
Speaker 4: be nice working with guys like robber Zinski, you know, props.
Speaker 3: Seems to like people.
Speaker 2: It seems to have worked pretty well for Cafe n though.
Speaker 3: Yours might be.

Speaker 6: a wrong turn at the wrong you dislike nobody in here.
