1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Volume Podcast Network.

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: It's Thursday. That means it's time to enter the Thursday Thunderdome.

3
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: On today's show, our special guests will compete alongside my

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: co host, Professional Sports Better Simon Hunter, might be ff

5
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: my compadre in an epic test of wagers and wits

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: that's made this show the most celebrated sports betting trivia

7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: show in history and the marvel of the Western world. Simon,

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: I agree with everything that Matt Mitchell, producer Extraordinary scripted

9
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: for me to say there. I was away last week,

10
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: and I do feel the world tilted a little bit

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: off its access without us being able to do this together. Yeah,

12
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: I definitely enjoy it. I'm not gonna lie chat. I

13
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: felt like I was back to my old life before

14
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: I had to work for you, and I was just

15
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: some guy that I literally had an off season football

16
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: end and I would just get to do nothing. And

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: it was just as as much as I hate doing nothing,

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: it's also a little stressful this job. I gotta actually

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: show up somewhere on time and do stuff, where usually

20
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: I just start drinking I wake up in the off season,

21
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: I'll just start drinking, watch some soccer, maybe tennis, maybe

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: a little baseball. Now I have to be sober, and uh,

23
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: I feel bad last week. I mean on Tuesday, Chad,

24
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I didn't let you describe your holidday. I know how

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: much Chad loves talking about himself. Chad, how is your

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: trip to Cape Cod? Well, listen, let me tell you something,

27
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: sim And I'm glad you asked. And I don't want

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: to keep our guests waiting for too long because they

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: have Hall of Fame credentials quite literally. But I will

30
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: tell you mentioned in your off season, when you're not

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: working on your vacation, whatever it is, you'll get up,

32
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: You'll get drunk, you'll watch sports. I got up super early,

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: was away with my wife, our kids, my sister, her husband,

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: their kids, rented a big house in Cape Cod because

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm super rich now. And when we would

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: get up in the morning, I would make a Macha ti.

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I brought the match of powder with me. I brought

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: the Japanese whisk, I whisked it up, I poured it

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: into my green tea. Then my sister and I would

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: take a walk into town. We'd have an espresso. We

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: take a walk back. A couple of mornings, we took

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: long runs. A couple of mornings, we did like really

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: extra credit hardcore runs where we're sprinting. I felt like

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: I was living my best self on vacation. You're doing this.

45
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: You don't just do this at home? No, I did

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: it on vacation. I felt fantastic. What do you do

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: at home? You just lay around and watching Netflix? No,

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: I do the same thing, only then I go to work.

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Here about eight thirty, I was done with everything. You

50
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: truly are a man that cannot take a day off

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: ever stopped grinding. Simon, speaking of which, talk about grinding.

52
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Your first challenger is the most decorated specialist in NFL history.

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: He's one of just two kickers in the Pro Football

54
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and he connected over one hundred game

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: winning field goals in a career that spanned a full

56
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: twenty five years. A man known affectionately as the Great

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: Dane and the co host of the Great Dane Nation podcast.

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Our very first Hall of Fame contestant, Morten Anderson, thank

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: you for having me, guys. I was hanging on every

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: word about that Cape cot good. Can you just email

61
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: me the rest on that that would be great. It's

62
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: like you and Simon planned it. You came in hot,

63
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: ready to take you down. I will say this in

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: all seriousness. I've listened to the Great Dane Nation podcast.

65
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: I enjoy it, and you went when you have a

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: lot of high profile guests on there, and a couple

67
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: of times I've listened to you say this to Bill Murray.

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I've listened to you say this to Sean Payton. The

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: way you talk about feeling pressure to me is fascinating.

70
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: And before we get to our next guest, uh, can

71
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: you just explain a little bit, describe a little bit

72
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: about how you define pressure. Yes, so I don't particularly

73
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: use the word pressure. I think it's a has a

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: negative connotation. So I prefer to flip the script on

75
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: on the word and and think more proactively about it.

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: We all deal with perceived this tasteful situations differently. The

77
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: way I like to look at it and the way

78
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I like can teach it and communicate it is simply

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: that perceived pressure only happens when your skill set to

80
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: complete the task doesn't match the task. In other words,

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: this is not in my wheelhouse. Man, I can't do this.

82
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: I've never done this. I haven't trained to do this,

83
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: I haven't earned the right to do this. And that's

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: when you you're going to feel some discomfort. My whole

85
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: notion about these situations that define us, these big moments

86
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: in big games, which I certainly had my share, and uh,

87
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, watching the Euro right now, watching penalty kicks

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: after extended time. I mean, you talk about somebody who

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: has to step up to that spot and deliver a

90
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: penalty kick. How are those guys being taught? What are

91
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: they thinking? Are they letting the game come to them?

92
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: Are they trying to force themselves on the game and

93
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: feeling all this heat on them? Clearly you can see

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: right away in their eyes who is not up for it,

95
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: who's not up to the task, and who actually rests

96
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: in themselves, who allow the situation to come in and

97
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: then let the preparation take over. And I think that's

98
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: my whole point with with the notion of this perceived pressure,

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: if that's kind of what I'm at with it. I

100
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: love the positivity, I love the framing. I love the

101
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: way you say it. You've exhibited it, you did exhibit

102
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: it in twenty five years of winning in the NFL

103
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: and a Hall of Fame career, Simon, this is how

104
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: we should be approaching betting during the NFL season. We're ready.

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I wish I had half of his confidence because everything

106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: you said, I was like, I'm that guy, Like even

107
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: when I win ten bets in a row, I'm just like, Okay,

108
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna go oh in ten the next time.

109
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: It's just always right around the corner, Simon. But Simon,

110
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: the difference between standing in front of a situation where

111
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna win a game with a field goal and

112
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: betting is that you're not driving the car. I'm driving

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: the car. You're not driving the car. You're depending on

114
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 1: outside forces, i e. Two teams to play the game,

115
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: and then you take a side, and then you wait

116
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: and hope. That's why we when we bet and wager,

117
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: we we are on pins and needles because we're not

118
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: driving the car. More and you have so much to learn,

119
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: my young Paddowan, to learn to say. I like Morton's

120
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: first answer better because then it uh forced Simon to think,

121
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, I have to be winning because I've

122
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: done this so often. The second answer kind of let

123
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: him off the huk. Yeah I did. I did, But

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: we'll see. Let's see. Let's see if Morton can redeve

125
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: himself throughout the game. Simon, your second challenger, is the

126
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: producer half of the Great Day Nation podcast on Vegas Insider,

127
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: a veteran of ESPN Radio, Fox Sports Radio, the Sports

128
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Hub in Boston. Also a Draft Kings contributor, and one

129
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: of the hardest working men in the audio game. Tom

130
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: Carol a k a. Tommy Freeze Pops, what's going on everybody? Hey, Morton,

131
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: thank you for all of that wisdom at the top

132
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Here, I've heard you heard that story

133
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: approximately forty three times now, so good to go here.

134
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: The way, you know what, if I listen to that

135
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: story every day and I put that up on my wall,

136
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: it still wouldn't be enough, because that is the way

137
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: to live. That is about living with positivity and optimism.

138
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: It's my credo at this point. You know, play like

139
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: a champion today. Instead of hitting that sign when I

140
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: get out of bed, I hit that entire story about pressure.

141
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: It's just true. Anybody who has done something often enough

142
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: and had to perform that task in a situation on

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: a daily basis, if they're doing it when there is

144
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: perceived opportunity that is greater than what they're normally is.

145
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: They should still be confident enough to do it. That's

146
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: just that's the way. Yeah, to take it one step further,

147
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's behavior that becomes discipline, that creates a

148
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: behavior with a decided result that you train so much

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: it becomes unconscious competence, It becomes dominant, so it kills

150
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: everything else. It kills all the negativity. He has a

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame bust behind him, and I have a refrigerator. Well, listen,

152
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: in this game, Simon Hunter has exhibited unconscious dominance the

153
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, So let's see if you two

154
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: can knock him off. Here's how the game is played.

155
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: You'll answer two kinds of questions. First, traditional trivia questions

156
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: about sports, sports, betting, and the world at large. Second,

157
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: completely subjective, totally ass and I and open ended questions

158
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: your prompts that I alone will judge. To accumulate points,

159
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: you must answer the trivia questions correctly and also convince

160
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: me that your responses to those open ended prompts are

161
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: better than the responses from your opponents. Let's begin Part

162
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: one den marks the spot. Let's see if we can

163
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: get all the puns we can. Our special guest, Morton Anderson,

164
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: is known as the Great Dane because he hails from

165
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Copenhagen and a long successful NFL career has made him

166
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: the most beloved Danish athlete in America. In honor of

167
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: Morton and the Action Networks new Danish ownership at Better Collective,

168
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: I'll ask each of you to Denmark related questions Morton, Morton.

169
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: As you know, Denmark is the ancestral homeland of team handball.

170
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: The Danes have won the last two handball world titles

171
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: and other reigning Olympic champions. Many consider the Olympics to

172
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: be the site of the greatest upset in handball history.

173
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: That's summer, the Croatian Olympic team shocked the world by

174
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: capturing the gold medal over this nation known to many

175
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Americans as the home of Vovo. Okay, what is Sweden?

176
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Very good? Very good? Morton. Also, you don't have to

177
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: put it in the in the form of the last

178
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: thing I can do is be ready to replace Alex Trebeck.

179
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: I am just not confident in Rogers. You know you

180
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: might see Aaron. That's right, Morton. When learning the Danish language,

181
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: many English speakers struggle with the fact that Danish contains

182
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: no word for this the most common English word when

183
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: asking for something politely. What is that word? Please? Very good?

184
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: So what do you if you want to? If you

185
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: say via Venley at even my in cafue, can I

186
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: have a coffee Veinley, then least with pleasure? With yeah,

187
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: But you're right, it's not in the Danish vernacular. It's

188
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: not common. But they are very polite people. They have

189
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: their moments. Yeah, they picked their spots. I think, all right, Tony.

190
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: Most metal heads know that Lars are At the drummer

191
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: and co founder of this world famous heavy metal band.

192
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: I was born in Denmark in nineteen sixty three. What

193
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: is the band? I might get some crap for not

194
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: knowing this, but I'm gonna guess Volby. Dude, Look that's

195
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Morten's favorite band. I know they're Danish. That was my guess.

196
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: Maybe I gotta take a laugh. It's fucking Metallica. What

197
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: is the matter? That was my next as like, come on, man,

198
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: that's coming out HoTT. You didn't think of it at all.

199
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: It's trivial pursuit. Your first answer is the right answer.

200
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Tommy Denmark has the oldest recognized national flag. The current

201
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: design has been used for over eight hundred years. However,

202
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: some scholars have called this into question and believe the

203
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: oldest flag distinction may belong to this nation, the northern

204
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: most country on the island of Great Britain, the northernmost country.

205
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna guess Scotland. You gotta right, Tommy, you

206
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: nailed it. Yes, thank God for Google Earth. Un Denmark's

207
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: greatest cultural contribution. Maybe these tiny, colorful, interlocking plastic bricks legs.

208
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: I know the Danes could claim legos. That's pretty cool.

209
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: You've never told me that more and I feel it's

210
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: kid Christiansen family from Belon. Lego Land is Belon Denmark.

211
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: If you ever visit, you have to go to Lego

212
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: Land as a kid. I went there. It is It's

213
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: only getting better, dude. They keep improving it now. They

214
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: have the rights to Harry Potter's the airport too, So

215
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: if you you have kids and you go to Europe,

216
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: you have to check it out. That's awesome. Simon, you've

217
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: been to Lego Land. Yeah, I don't want to go

218
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: into Lego because I have a problem, but like I

219
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: have Legos behind me up here. I used to be

220
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: really into legos as a kid. Cool. Well, this is fascinating. Okay,

221
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: email me the arrest Simon, exactly, Simon. When we're done,

222
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: let's talk more about my trip to kip Cat Simon.

223
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: It's a good thing in America. If a person remains

224
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: unmarried on their twenty five birthday, one of Denmark's most

225
00:13:55,040 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: unique traditions is to publicly cover them in this spice,

226
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: most commonly seen in oatmeal or apple pie cinnamon. Yes,

227
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: and by the way, what the fuck? Yeah? Why did

228
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: they do that? You know, when you get married. They

229
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: caught the toes soft the man's socks because so you

230
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: won't sleep in another woman's bed. That's symbolic. I don't know.

231
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: What the hell. What does that have to do with

232
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: cinnamon Mortan, Well, it's just another tradition that's weird. I

233
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: don't know it has to do with Danish traditions. Well, listen,

234
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: the Danes are lovely people and they have lovely traditions.

235
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: And is a huge fan of cinnamon, and as a

236
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: health pot I tend to put cinnamon on my food

237
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: instead of salt because it gives it a little more

238
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: flavor and salt isn't always great for you, so I'm

239
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: all for these good health benefits too. Here's the prompt, fellows,

240
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: here's the prompt. We can all get behind the Danish

241
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: tradition of throwing cinnamon at twentysomething singles, but what about

242
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: a new tradition for gamblers. Whether we're talking about the Olympics,

243
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: the World Cup, or any other international competition, gamblers must

244
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: often choose is between patriotism and pragmatism. Do you bet

245
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: with your heart or your head? Your task is to

246
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: create a new tradition, a new public shaming spectacle for

247
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: your fellow country man caught placing a bet against your

248
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: home country and losing. Simon born in England, huge English

249
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: football fan, went bizonkers on the podcast on Tuesday when

250
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: England beat Germany with two goals while the podcast was

251
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: being recorded, Please respond, this is tough. I bet against

252
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles constantly. It's my job to not be, you know,

253
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: skewed one way or another. Like I try not to

254
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: be biased in my job, but when it comes to

255
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: your country, you must always be biased. I've never bet

256
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: against England in my whole life, even though they're gonna

257
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: lose to Ukraine. As an England fan, this is when

258
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: they lose. They beat Germany and then they're gonna lose

259
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. That's just what England does. So I'm not

260
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna bet against them, but it's a smart bet to

261
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: you bet against them. I feel like in England though,

262
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: if you get caught betting against your home country, man,

263
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: I feel like the worst punishment would be a year

264
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: ban from the pub. If you couldn't go to the

265
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: pub for a year, I think that would really really,

266
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: I think there is not much what worst punishment you

267
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: could do to someone in England, and that you're a

268
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: accurate as someone who lived in London for six months

269
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: every day midday was spent in the pub. They just

270
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was the most wonderful thing. It's shut down.

271
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: People took a nice, relaxing long publish lunch. This would

272
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: be tough. This would be tough, Tommy your next. So

273
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: I would go with my betting friends, the guys that

274
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: tell me the right things to do in the way

275
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: of wagering when betting on international competition, because I gotta

276
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: be honest when it comes to these international sports like

277
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Olympic sports or even soccer. I'm not a huge soccer guy,

278
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: so I don't know a whole lot. And when I'm betting,

279
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: I want to win, So I gotta go with the numbers.

280
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: I gotta go with the smart dudes that know more

281
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: than me about gambling. If someone's telling me, hey, you

282
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: know you gotta wager on Jamaica in this bob sledding

283
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: competition over the US, I'm gonna do it. Tommy. Let

284
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: me stop you right there. Okay, you're not answering the question.

285
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: The question is question is skating around dude, Tommy. It's

286
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: like his head is swimming in cinnamon right now. The

287
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 1: question was if someone caught you placing a bet against

288
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: the United States and you lose, what should the public

289
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: shaming spectacle be Benedictdonald put on stage in that person's hometown.

290
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: For me, it would be the Dunkin Donut Center in Providence,

291
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. That person would have to take a citizenship

292
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: test on stage in front of a loud, angry arena.

293
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: The test would be administered by that person's high school

294
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: Civics teacher, one question at a time, one minute to answer.

295
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: Question does not be repeated. You either get it or

296
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't. And if you don't get a ninety on

297
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: the test with this loud crowd yelling at you, you're

298
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: deported for one year. That is called the fucking rally

299
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: because after the first one I was ready to kick

300
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: your off the podcast, but you came on strong that

301
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: that was the definition of skill set meeting moment, and

302
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: you living up to the opportunity. Let's see if Martin

303
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: can beat you. Because I'm not a fan of soccer.

304
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: I liked cinnamon, so let's color the cinnamon red. Throw

305
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: people in the canal right in New Haven, which is

306
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Newhound in Copenhagen. So as the private so wet, etcetera.

307
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Let's let's apply some electro whatever you call those connectors

308
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: to to each uh, each vegetable, and then let's uh,

309
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: you know, he has to kind of wear that for

310
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. If subject matter ever ever goes goes

311
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: there again, you know, I'll be sitting at a pup

312
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: and I'll administer the battery operated shocked to to the

313
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: privates of subject matter that screwed up and went against

314
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: the country of his birth. For God's sake, It's unfathomable.

315
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: It cannot happen. I don't know's I don't know what

316
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: to say here. That is some six ship, angry, deep

317
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: seated bad ship. But I'll tell you what. You can't

318
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: go against the country. I do like it. Here's here's

319
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: the thing. So they've been publicly shamed, They've they've been

320
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: thrown into the canal. They're coming out there dawst in cinnamon. Yeah,

321
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: like a big Danish flag. That, by the way, that

322
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: kind of would have been enough for the answer, But

323
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: then you took it next level and like the next

324
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: part isn't even public shaming. That's just sort of pure

325
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: evil intent to inflict pain and distress, the addedly air

326
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: of emotional and physical distress. I'm giving you the point.

327
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: You came on strong, you kicked the game winning field

328
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: goal at just the right time. Here we go. Part

329
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: of the pulps are closed. I can't believe it. S

330
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Part two two to two thousand seven. In our continued

331
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: journey of pandering to our guest Morten Anderson, we now

332
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: highlight his almost inconceivable athletic accomplishment of playing NFL football,

333
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: starting after the nine eight two draft and ending after

334
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: the two thousand seven season, and incredible twenty five years later,

335
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: but twenty five is just a number. Let's dive into

336
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: just how much changed between nineteen eighty two and two

337
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: thousand seven. Simon Europe. First heading into Morton's rookie season

338
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: in nine eight two, this a f C team moved

339
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: to another city within the same state, but by the

340
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: time he retired in two thousand seven, they returned to

341
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: their original home. Today they play in a new city

342
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: in a bordering state. Oh my god, there's just way

343
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: too my twist and turns, that's so easy. The Tennessee Titans.

344
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: It's the Raiders, ah A Raiders, Oakland Raiders, Vegas Raiders.

345
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: Let's go Simon. You can't be an expert on a pod, dude.

346
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: If you don't know that before you listen, don't get

347
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: too big for your bridges. You're up next, alright. Shortly

348
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: after you were drafted by the Saints, the team traded

349
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: their beloved quarterback Archie Manning. Five years later, shortly after

350
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: you made your last field goal for the Atlanta Falcons,

351
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: this quarterback would win his first of two Super Bowl

352
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: m v ps uh Peyton Many Eli Manning, Dude, I

353
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: got crossed. Yikes, okay, don't I'm not worthy of g

354
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: d N man find a new host. Oh wow, Tommy,

355
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: workers broke ground on the construction of a stadium eventually

356
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: named the r C A Dome. It was built in

357
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the hopes of landing and an NFL franchise for the city,

358
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: and it worked. A team relocated there before construction was

359
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: even completed. They'd win just one Super Bowl for the city,

360
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: and two years later, shortly after Morten Anderson's final game,

361
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: the r C A Dome was demolished. Where was the

362
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: r c Adom? What's city? Indianapolis, Indiana? Morton Anderson's first

363
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: home in North America and David's high school baby. That

364
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: would have been a nice tid bit to throw in

365
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: there by the way. See, that's that's the producing research.

366
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: That's that research. But we're all different. As an im

367
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: I know exactly where that is India got Part two.

368
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: Here's the prompt. Morton Anderson's career span twenty five years

369
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: and a lot changed from his rookie year to his

370
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: retirement today. I want you to look ahead to the

371
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: two thousand NFL season. Your job is to paint a

372
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: picture of what you believe the NFL will become. Then

373
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 1: sell me on the league's single most surprising change. Okay,

374
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: so I think the league a couple of things you're

375
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna see here. We're gonna be about a decade into

376
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: two international expansion teams. We'll see a team in London.

377
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: We'll see a team in Mexico City. Arch Manning is

378
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: going to be on year twenty of his future Hall

379
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: of Fame career, and a sixty eight year old Tom

380
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: Brady will be defending Super Bowl champion for the Bucks

381
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: because I don't think that guy is ever leaving Florida,

382
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: and honestly, the Detroit Lions will probably still have not

383
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: appeared in a Super Bowl. So once we get all

384
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: of that out of the way, I think the biggest

385
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: single change, and I think you're gonna see this sooner

386
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: rather than later, is age restrictions as it relates to

387
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: the NFL draft. I think as young athletes in America

388
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: continue to get more and more power, you're gonna see

389
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: a push for this three year limit thing to go away.

390
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: You saw guys like Jadeveon Clowney who were ready to

391
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: play in the NFL his senior year of high school.

392
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: That guy missed out on three years of earning potential.

393
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: And you look at the injuries he's dealt with over

394
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: the last few years. He could have been making millions

395
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: of dollars for three years before he started making millions

396
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: of dollars. Marcus Lattimore has a debilitating knee injury his

397
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: junior year and never plays a snap abound felt football.

398
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: That guy could have been making millions, So I think

399
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: that goes away at some point. I'm not saying you're

400
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: gonna see a pipeline of high school guys to the

401
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: NFL like we saw in the NBA for a while,

402
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be dudes like Clowney that get a

403
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: shot at a young age because they should. I don't

404
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: mind it. It's interesting, Morton, your answer, please, A couple

405
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: of changes that are gonna happen. I think you're gonna

406
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: have a four point sixty yard field goals, So if

407
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: a field goal over six yards will be four points,

408
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have more of a running clock. Let's face it,

409
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: the games are too long, so the clock will run

410
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: inside two minutes and eats half, the clock will stop

411
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: as normal. You will also be forced to do a

412
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: trick play inside of two minutes and eats half, So

413
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: whether it's a reverse, a halfback pass. You must do

414
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: a trick play, and no more than three running plays

415
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: inside of two minutes, and also within the two minutes

416
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: of each half. There's no offensive defensive pass interference. I'm

417
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: tired of this pillow fighting. I don't know which one

418
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: of those we would say is the league's most surprising change,

419
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: but I think all of those are so wonderfully creative

420
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: and inside and brilliant. Simon, you have a mountain to climb.

421
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: Tommy's out. It's either Morton or you at this point. Chad,

422
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: you're such a kiss. Ask more and that was awful idea.

423
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: The first one about cutting down the games, Dude, I

424
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: have no most of us have no lives. I want

425
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: five hour football games, let alone three hour football games.

426
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: Give me more. I want more. I don't want anything shorter.

427
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: I like the other ideas, though the past interferience ons

428
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: pretty wild. Um, I can't beat that time he kind

429
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: of took everything. I think you threw about fifty ideas.

430
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: Time he kind of fidget holded me because my big

431
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: thing was I'm with him. European League that they like

432
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: a team in Mexico, Canada. These things make sense to

433
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: keep going international with football so to me, that's gonna

434
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: be one of the biggest changes. Definitely will be international.

435
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: My second thing I think to be different league is

436
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: we kind of saw the Wildcat with a QB kind

437
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: of change things up was a running back with a quarterback.

438
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see a change of not a

439
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Q QB system, but a wide receiver that can also

440
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: be like a quarterback, like Randall l or Hines Ward.

441
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: These guys that could pass the ball and be wide receiver.

442
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: I could see more of that in the future of

443
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: just different looks and offenses. We can have two guys

444
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: in the field that can pass the ball. Yeah. I

445
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: didn't want Morton to win this round. His answer was outstanding. Simon,

446
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: here's what our life goal should be. And then what's

447
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: that town that your family is from in England, Northern England, Birmingham, Burnley.

448
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: We should try to be the owners of the NFL

449
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: franchise in Burnley. That probably costs about fifty dollars Americans,

450
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: So we can do that tomorrow. If you like, Burnley

451
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: is not not a nice place, why don't we just

452
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: give him some crypto They love it. Let's do it,

453
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: all right, Morton Anderson, you won that round. I think answer.

454
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: Had I had one more change, I think would be fantastic.

455
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 1: If I may, I know I've wanted the round. It's

456
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: just a bonus, a little land yapp little extra, as

457
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: we like to say in Lucian do it leather helmets.

458
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Take the helmets off. Everybody's pitching about concussions and all

459
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: this stuff. We don't have the same issue in rugby

460
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: water polo shocker that the kicker is the one asking

461
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: for leather helmets. Here's the score. Tommy has to, Morten

462
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: has four, Simon has two. Part three Just kicking it.

463
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: On this show, we talk a lot about the NFL,

464
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: but we devote an awful lot of our time on

465
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and other offensive positions. Will occasionally talk about defenses

466
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: and even coaches. We rarely engage in any hot talk

467
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: about the often overlooked positions of kickers and punters. But

468
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: now that is true except for when we talk about

469
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: the Bears kicking troubles. But now that NFL kicking legend

470
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Morton Anderson is here, it's as good as time as

471
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: any to test you're kicking i Q. Here we go, Tommy,

472
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: You're up first. A changing of the guard took place

473
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: back in two thousand four when the NFL banned any

474
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: player from sporting the distinctive one bar face mask, but

475
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: this did not apply to punter Scott Player, who was

476
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: the last player to rock the single bar mask. Scott

477
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: Player enjoyed a long career after his college days with

478
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: the Florida State Seminoles. His last college QB was this

479
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy winner would go on to a successful career

480
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: and was the starting point guard for the New York

481
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Knicks in the NBA Finals. UH blanket on the first

482
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: Name Award, Charlie Ward, we will give you the credit, Simon.

483
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: The record for the longest field goal in NFL history

484
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 1: is sixty four yards, which was set by Matt Prator

485
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: in December of two thousand thirteen. Despite being outdoors in

486
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: eighteen degree weather, Prator's kick sailed through the uprights to

487
00:29:53,800 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: the delight of fans gathered in this stadium mile high

488
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: and now for the all time art mild high is correct. Morton.

489
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: A dropkick field goal attempt is one of the rarest

490
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: sites in football. No NFL team even attempted one for

491
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: eighty five years until a dropkick extra point was attempted

492
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: and made by this beloved scrambling quarterback. I mean dog,

493
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: I know, dog Flutie. I taught him to drop kick

494
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: for God's sakes. No, I didn't come on, but he

495
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: he told me way before he did that that he

496
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: was going to do it. He didn't tell me when,

497
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: but he said he was gonna do it if he

498
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: got a chance to do it in the game. Very

499
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: nicely done. Part three prompt, If you can make one

500
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: change to NFL kicking rules to make the league more fun,

501
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: what would it be? And Morton, you cannot say four

502
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: points for field over sixty yards? Tommy, you are up first. Well, Chad,

503
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. Morton's answer to the

504
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: second prompt kind of mixed in with my answer for

505
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: this third prompt. I think that we should do a

506
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: tiered system for points based on where the kick comes from.

507
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: So twenty yards are less, I think should be worth one,

508
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: between twenty one and forty five should be worth three,

509
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: forty six and sixty should be worth four, and sixty

510
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: plus should be worth six, because I mean, if you

511
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: make a sixty plus yard field goal, I think that's

512
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: just as hard as scoring a touchdown. How about this

513
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: what if you miss anything inside thirty yards, a point

514
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: is taken away from I thought about that. I didn't

515
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: want to get too crazy, but I thought about it.

516
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: So that's not a part of my official answer. But

517
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: I like it. I do like a tiered kicking uh

518
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: scoring rule. That's a really good idea, Morton, can you topic?

519
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: I want the onside kickback. It's a it's a six

520
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: percent proposition right now. It used to be almost a proposition.

521
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: They took it away. They said you can't have a

522
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: running start, you can't overload to the side. I created

523
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: this high it's called the Anderson where the ball bounces

524
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: really high. It goes twelve yards right on the numbers.

525
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: We used to overload, we'd blow up that front line.

526
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: We did that in the preseason game. I think we

527
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: got our kicks back. So I'm bringing the onside kickback.

528
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm overloading, I'm running start. Let's create some excitement. I

529
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: don't like it. It's not original enough. But here's the challenge.

530
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: You have an actual on site kick named after you,

531
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: and so it's hard not to give you a lot

532
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: of credit for that. Even though I feel like Tommy's

533
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: answer is a little bit better, right, now, which means, Simon,

534
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: if you don't come up with a great answer, I'm

535
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: gonna have a really hard decision to make more In

536
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: just he just blew us all out, saying he's got

537
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: his own onside kick named after him. That right kind

538
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: of a flex. That was definitely a flex. I love it.

539
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: It's almost like putting your Hall of Fame bust behind

540
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: you in your pid replicate the original of in Canton

541
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 1: at last. I digress, Sorry, I thought of something right

542
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: up your alley chat the double doink. We should start

543
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: rewarding kickers that hit post and that like enough over

544
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: Divan wins. That is, why don't we just put the

545
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: goal post one bar and then you gotta hit the

546
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: upright to get Of course, the Bears fan wants double

547
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: doinks rewarding with points because Parky that's that's what he

548
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: aimed for. Simon knows his audience and in this case,

549
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: in this case serious pandering going on. You saw the

550
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: Bears thing right behind them. This was one fixed. It

551
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: was a no brainer. Here is the score as we

552
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: go into the grand finale, or as I like to

553
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: call it, the Anderson Tommy, you have three points. Morton

554
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: you have five points. Simon, you have four points. The

555
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: topic is infamous Olympians. Before we get to the question,

556
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,720
Speaker 1: please close your eyes and now hold up your fingers

557
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: with your wager amount. You can wager up to the

558
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: total amount of points you have right now or less.

559
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: So Tommy three, Morton five, Simon four. All right, here

560
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: we go. One of the most famous kicks in NFL

561
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: history came on November eight On that day, the Saints,

562
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: Tom Dempsey made the longest field goal in NFL history

563
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: with a sixty three yard game winner against the Lions,

564
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: a record that would stand for forty three years. Just

565
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: four days after that famous kick, on November twelfth, seventy

566
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: one of the most infamous athletes in American history was

567
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: born two thousand miles away in Portland, Oregon. This two

568
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: time US champion and two time Olympian entered the American

569
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: spotlight in the early nineteen nineties, But in January of

570
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: this athletes potential involvement in the brutal assault of a

571
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: rival created a worldwide scandal that made the covers of

572
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated, Newsweek, and Time magazine. Please name this athlete,

573
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: who remains the most well known Olympic bronze medalist in

574
00:35:42,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: American history. Such a question. That was a tortured winding tour.

575
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: Let's see, Morton, you're answering first, you wagered one point,

576
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: you have five points. What is the answer? I have

577
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: no clue. I'll guess the Vanda hold the field. I

578
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: don't know. Tanya Harding, Nancy Carry. I can't believe I

579
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: got that. That was a shy answer. Why why? That's right?

580
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: All right? You are down to four? Morton Anderson, Tommy,

581
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: you wagered three and you currently have three. What is

582
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: your answer? Said to Matt, and I'm gonna stick with it. Harding,

583
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Kanya Harding is the right answer? You have now have six? Simon,

584
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: you risked for you had four? The king of the

585
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: all in? What is your answer? I'm embarrassed? I literally

586
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: just what's it called? Tania? Or movie? Yeah? I just

587
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: watched it on an airplane and I couldn't remember her name.

588
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: All I knew was that she was a figure skater.

589
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: That's all I texted Matt. I said figure skater. So

590
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 1: I lost hey, And in my defense, I lost interest

591
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: halfway through the question and didn't listened to the second half. Well, listen,

592
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: if you want to plan under pressure. You've got to

593
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: learn to concentrate more. Tommy, I'm only one point two

594
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: seconds and when my stuff is open, Morn's my kind

595
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: of guy. I mean that ship. That question was a minute.

596
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: Well guess what. Guess what your producer who in the

597
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: beginning got the first question wrong and didn't even know

598
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: how to answer the first prompt and by the end

599
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: of the game become kid Let champion. That's why I

600
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: got him. He's the best. Different man, built different built differently, differently.

601
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: That's what I meant to say. Beautiful. Congratulations Tommy, Congratulations
