<v Speaker 2>go ahead, No, I would like to hear your questions.

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna like shift gears to sports. But if

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>you had something else, you can you can hit that.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no matter what you said, I was gonna say,

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what I want to say. You can go

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>to gears, you go to sports all you want to Uh,

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>it's your Your week has been very disheartening. Yeah, especially

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>as an outsider looking in. Uh, I definitely want to

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>give a huge uh shout out to a legend in

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>our profession and Greg Papa and just reading about what

0:01:53.160 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>he's going through was simultaneously like heartwarming and heartbreaking. Uh So,

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts and my desire to talk is kind of

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>limited to Greg Papa, who, more than anything, really just

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>deserves the Bay Areas unflinching and unyielding support. If you're

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a sports fan out here and you've ever heard his

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>voice in a moment, if you've ever been around him,

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>if you ever benefited from him, if you ever just

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to get a dose of his swag,

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>then we should all be companies and fans alike in

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>support of Greg Papa. So that's all I really want

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>to say today. How about that?

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Nope, I appreciate that, man, and I appreciate your reaching

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 5>out to me. And yeah, would you say that our

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 5>swag is comparable though me and my father's I would.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I would say, I say, every time I see you,

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I get the same sense of you know, you could

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>have been flying any era that I get from your father.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Like sometimes I call you Greg because I think y'all

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the same person. That's how. But the swag is similar, right,

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're clearly your daddy's son, right, like the

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.119
<v Speaker 1>French coach you wear, the trench coach you wear, the cologne,

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that meat that gets around the corner before you do.

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, the uh and and the

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>charming voice. Yeah, yeah, you know. I mean, you're playing

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>in your pop swag. I'm just putting on you. I'm

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>just imagining this world where you are like your father

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and swag. So I'm trying to paint the picture for

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the audience of what Derek looks like with a black

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 1>trench coat on, and you know, and.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.280

<v Speaker 1>the Raider Stadium, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, that

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.320

<v Speaker 1>I would wear what I'm saying, yeah, and what well,

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.920

<v Speaker 3>An overcoat? Yeah, an overcoat, that's good.

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you called a trench coat when

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 5>he when he has like a scarf underneath it.

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:20.360

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the swaggiest thing that's ever been transferred from Greg Papa

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to Derek Papa. And I'm gonna put this out there.

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Marcus even knows this. Greg has

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 2>said on the air that Derek was conceived on the

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>day that Dave Stewart threw a no header. I was like,

<v Speaker 2>I was telling stories yesterday. I remember meeting Greg when

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I was when I was working at Boulevard Restaurant. I

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 2>was telling everybody he left me tickets to a Raider game,

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and I thought, there's no way, these are actually here.

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, I'm a bart over there and

0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 2>he left me tickets two days later.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Didn't even know me.

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I was like a host in a restaurant that he

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 2>was at. But do you remember your first interaction with

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 2>pop up or the first time that you really got

0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>to know him a little bit, either at the coliseum

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 2>or beyond.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely at the coliseum, here's how I knew all I

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>needed to know right off the back. Yeah, like I

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously I knew who he was. I didn't know he

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>knew who I was. But he said it as he

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>walked up to me and he gave me adapt and

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it was so smooth, you know how, you know how

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it don't you know, like Derek, you might know

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Sometimes you botch that. You know, I'm

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>just saying it can be very awkward. Man, It was

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>so smooth and cool. I was like, man, this is

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>exactly who I thought he was. It was just like

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a small gesture, but he was like Obama out there.

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't It.

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't a simple handshake neither. It was like a three

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.400
<v Speaker 1>parter with the have. I was like, oh, this is

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.640
<v Speaker 1>my guy right now.

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 3>That's what we would call Derek. Let me tell her,

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 3>that's what we would call giving some skin. Yeah you

0:06:59.600 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.440

<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's what I thought.

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm not like I have him, but there's been times

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 5>where people have been impressed.

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I've taught some people off guard.

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.880
<v Speaker 1>All fa Pops has never bundled it like he do

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:21.840

<v Speaker 4>Fair enough, fair enough.

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.360

<v Speaker 2>many rounds, in many many fastest Pop is a student

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of the game without question.

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.720

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, switching gears real quick.

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Marcus, what was your reaction to Kevin duran and Klay

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Thompson here?

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 3>He told you what he wanted to talk about, But

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>I can't.

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 4>I can't bring this up briefly.

0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Sure you could bring it up. Sure, absolutely, you can

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>bring it up. Finishing questions.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 5>Okay, what'd you think of Klay Thompson and Kevin Durants

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 5>exchange on social media this past week?

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I actually thought it was impressive. How Like,

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>for all these years, Greg Papa was a raider guy

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and tradition to like call in forty nine ers games

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>like and he came up with a call and it

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>was awkward. He's missed the Raider, So for him to

0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>make this transition, to me, it was all about expertise, right.

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It was like, you all know, I cover a bunch

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of sports, right like, so that's as somebody who does it.

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>It is incredibly difficult. But for him to just ingratiate

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>himself in Niner culture the way he did, to turn

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>those calls and make them as you know, impactful as

0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>all those years were the Raiders where he was like

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the facto GM anyway, right like that to me is

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the most precious, impressive things you'll see in

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 1>our profession. And it certainly helps that the Raiders were

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas right like they're gone or not having

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>presence anymore. But after seeing that and listening to that,

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>I just I just never imagined that day, Like twenty

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>years ago. You're not thinking Greg Papa is going to

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>be the voice of the forty nine ers one day.

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>It just sounds weird, right.

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 3>It's just it doesn't feel weird anymore now. Dude.

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in the East, you know, just like

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you manifest that seems so weird kind of work different

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.839
<v Speaker 2>for you. But I wasn't a Raider fan, But I

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a little weird at first. Now I

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 2>don't even really think about it. I really don't.

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I get what you want wanna answer to day Marcus,

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 5>So I'll ask you.

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll ask you this question.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll ask you this question.

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 5>No no, no no no no no.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 5>So years ago, your guy Tim Kawakami asked my dad

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 5>about this whole rumor that he was going to be

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 5>the general manager of the Raiders, had Al Davis stuck around,

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 5>So obviously things didn't happen.

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 4>What if well if if, I'll say it alive obviously yeah.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So it was like on his call, right, He's like, yeah, yeah,

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm out right.

0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>He's like, no, I don't think. I think I'm gonnax

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 3>it on my own.

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm gonna check out. I'll check it out. Yeah okay.

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 5>So, like, what do you think the Bay Area's reaction

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 5>would have been if Greg Poppa, after years of being

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.520
<v Speaker 5>a play by play guy, was introduced as general manager

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.520
<v Speaker 5>of president of football Operations for the Raiders.

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>What's your I think I actually think it would have

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>been like more fitting than you see kind of these

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>things now right, uh, Like like remember when Bob Myers

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>was an agent and to being a germannager, we were like,

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know this is gonna work. Like it felt

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>weird that I mean, you know, because obviously we didn't

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>really know Bob Myris at that point, so it's like,

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>what can this agent do with no experience. I think

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>that would have been Greg pop Up becoming the general manager,

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>like he already felt like the team for a lot

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of us who just grew up with the voice like

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.439
<v Speaker 1>his command for the team, like like that's how we

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>would learn about football. It was it was Greg pop

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>on Raiders, it was Jim Barne that don't work, like

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>you learned about the team and not just what was

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>happening with the game. So I think it would have

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been a little bit more seamless than I imagine, Like

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>it would be like if you know, Adam Goldman just

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>became like Mike Dunley's number two, he'd be like, what

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>are you doing? Right? Like what happened? So I think

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 1>it would have been actually fine. I think people would

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>have been shocked. But what was the Raiders suscept anyway?

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Who were they going to get another retread that wasn't

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna do a good job, like yeah, like you you

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>probably could, You probably would have got more supportives, like, hey, trying,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>We're trying everything at this.

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:08.480
