Speaker 5: Hey, Christmas week, everybody.

9
00:00:36,216 --> 00:00:39,016
Speaker 1: You know that the Netflix games are interesting this week

10
00:00:39,135 --> 00:00:42,296
Speaker 1: because they're not that good anymore because the Chiefs are

11
00:00:42,296 --> 00:00:43,415
Speaker 1: out and.

12
00:00:43,495 --> 00:00:44,336
Speaker 5: The Cowboys are out.

13
00:00:44,535 --> 00:00:49,216
Speaker 6: Cowboys are out, Chiefs are out, the two biggest teams

14
00:00:49,656 --> 00:00:51,896
Speaker 6: as far as what's going to get the biggest number, which,

15
00:00:51,936 --> 00:00:54,575
Speaker 6: by the way, the biggest watch it, Yeah, because it's on.

16
00:00:55,696 --> 00:00:58,975
Speaker 1: But we watched the parade that ain't good Thanksgiving?

17
00:00:59,136 --> 00:00:59,696
Speaker 5: That's true.

18
00:01:00,056 --> 00:01:02,856
Speaker 1: But the biggest game ever I believe, of regular season

19
00:01:02,856 --> 00:01:04,776
Speaker 1: football was the Chiefs and Cowboys when they played earlier

20
00:01:04,816 --> 00:01:05,215
Speaker 1: this season?

21
00:01:05,496 --> 00:01:05,656
Speaker 7: Was it?

22
00:01:05,696 --> 00:01:05,976
Speaker 5: Really?

23
00:01:06,096 --> 00:01:06,536
Speaker 1: I believe?

24
00:01:06,576 --> 00:01:07,056
Speaker 5: So ever?

25
00:01:07,176 --> 00:01:09,536
Speaker 1: I think it was the highest regular season game of

26
00:01:09,576 --> 00:01:10,016
Speaker 1: all time.

27
00:01:10,496 --> 00:01:13,416
Speaker 5: Wow, that's crazy.

28
00:01:13,616 --> 00:01:15,336
Speaker 1: Yeah, you may look up the official because when there

29
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:16,816
Speaker 1: was like three channels, I don't know how that worked.

30
00:01:16,896 --> 00:01:18,536
Speaker 1: That should have been way more than that because Mash

31
00:01:18,576 --> 00:01:21,456
Speaker 1: got like a billion viewers, but that was only because

32
00:01:21,456 --> 00:01:22,215
Speaker 1: there were three channels.

33
00:01:22,216 --> 00:01:24,576
Speaker 5: Back, there's only three channels. What do you see?

34
00:01:24,656 --> 00:01:29,576
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. Fifty seven point two to three million. Wow, dude,

35
00:01:29,576 --> 00:01:35,376
Speaker 3: that's crazy, insane. What's the headline of that biggest of

36
00:01:35,376 --> 00:01:38,176
Speaker 3: all time? Yeah, the most viewed NFL regular season game

37
00:01:38,216 --> 00:01:41,656
Speaker 3: ever was Thanksgiving matchup between the Cowboys and the Chiefs.

38
00:01:41,736 --> 00:01:44,416
Speaker 1: You could have convinced me that it wasn't because again

39
00:01:44,456 --> 00:01:45,856
Speaker 1: in the old days when there were three or four

40
00:01:45,936 --> 00:01:48,856
Speaker 1: channels and they were just showing football on one of

41
00:01:48,896 --> 00:01:52,136
Speaker 1: the channels. But that's fifty seven million is a lot.

42
00:01:52,296 --> 00:01:56,736
Speaker 1: Fifty seven millions incredible. So the Christmas games, Kevin, would

43
00:01:56,736 --> 00:01:57,736
Speaker 1: you read me? The Christmas games?

44
00:01:57,816 --> 00:01:58,576

Speaker 3: You got Cowboys at Commanders What time? That's the twelve

00:02:08,615 --> 00:02:10,256
Speaker 3: people will definitely go and watch.

48
00:02:10,056 --> 00:02:12,895
Speaker 5: That Lions Vikings at three point thirty.

49
00:02:13,136 --> 00:02:16,536
Speaker 1: The Vikings, now these games matter has been playing a

50
00:02:16,536 --> 00:02:18,816
Speaker 1: little bit better, but they're eliminated, like they can't get

51
00:02:18,856 --> 00:02:19,576
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

52
00:02:19,856 --> 00:02:20,856
Speaker 5: That's true, it doesn't help.

53
00:02:20,976 --> 00:02:24,055
Speaker 3: And there's a night game on Prime that is the

54
00:02:24,096 --> 00:02:24,696
Speaker 3: Broncos and.

55
00:02:24,776 --> 00:02:30,896
Speaker 1: Chiefs lost its luster. Yeah, right, like all three of

56
00:02:30,896 --> 00:02:32,816
Speaker 1: those games on paper at the beginning of the season.

57
00:02:33,136 --> 00:02:35,656
Speaker 1: This is going to be a stacked Christmas.

58
00:02:35,176 --> 00:02:37,816
Speaker 2: Card, right, Oh for sure when they put these games together,

59
00:02:37,976 --> 00:02:39,096
Speaker 2: like oh we're crushing.

60
00:02:39,336 --> 00:02:43,696
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Christmas, the most memorable Christmas gifts given

61
00:02:43,816 --> 00:02:46,616
Speaker 1: by quarterbacks over the past few years, which, by the way,

62
00:02:46,816 --> 00:02:49,176
Speaker 1: when you were quarterbacking your teams, what did you do

63
00:02:50,136 --> 00:02:52,416
Speaker 1: for the guests? Yeah, would you get your line in anything?

64
00:02:53,016 --> 00:02:54,376

67
00:03:01,016 --> 00:03:02,696
Speaker 2: they'll give them a custom suit. So do you do

68
00:03:02,776 --> 00:03:04,336
Speaker 2: like a gift certificate? Like do you call and just

00:03:04,336 --> 00:03:08,256
Speaker 2: say here's X amount of dollars? Any gift cards for

71
00:03:11,376 --> 00:03:11,576
Speaker 5: Yes?

72
00:03:11,696 --> 00:03:13,736
Speaker 2: And Deep that is part of it. If you're on

73
00:03:13,816 --> 00:03:16,936
Speaker 2: the roster, you're getting the lineman something. So you're not

74
00:03:17,056 --> 00:03:20,016
Speaker 2: talking about your five starters, you're talking about.

75
00:03:19,976 --> 00:03:20,816
Speaker 5: Eight nine guys.

76
00:03:20,936 --> 00:03:21,856
Speaker 1: What about Deep Snapper?

77
00:03:22,576 --> 00:03:25,096
Speaker 2: No, that's not he doesn't work with me. He's the

78
00:03:25,176 --> 00:03:27,976
Speaker 2: he's with the punter. They're called specialist.

79
00:03:28,136 --> 00:03:28,335
Speaker 5: Yeah.

80
00:03:28,856 --> 00:03:29,656
Speaker 1: I like that gift though.

81
00:03:30,216 --> 00:03:31,336
Speaker 5: Yeah, the suit was a good one.

82
00:03:31,416 --> 00:03:34,496
Speaker 2: I mean when iPads first came out that's I'm dating myself,

83
00:03:34,536 --> 00:03:37,416
Speaker 2: but that was kind of cool. Gift got everybody and iPad.

84
00:03:38,936 --> 00:03:40,256
Speaker 2: There's a few others in between there.

85
00:03:40,296 --> 00:03:42,736
Speaker 1: But is the backup quarterback supposed to buy a gift

86
00:03:42,736 --> 00:03:43,256
Speaker 1: for everybody?

87
00:03:43,376 --> 00:03:45,536
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of like the starter's deal to get

88
00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:47,896
Speaker 2: maybe him something too. Oh you have to get the

89
00:03:47,936 --> 00:03:49,776
Speaker 2: back yeah, but you don't have to get on the

90
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,816
Speaker 2: to the same extent that you do the big boys

91
00:03:51,896 --> 00:03:52,896
Speaker 2: the offensive line.

92
00:03:53,936 --> 00:03:55,336
Speaker 5: So uh.

93
00:03:55,376 --> 00:03:58,016
Speaker 2: My first year of playing, though, was when Brady obviously

94
00:03:58,056 --> 00:04:00,576
Speaker 2: went down, and at the end of that season, I

95
00:04:00,656 --> 00:04:03,416
Speaker 2: was unaccustomed to being in that starting role, let alone

96
00:04:03,456 --> 00:04:06,176
Speaker 2: with the lead dog and Christmas gifts. I still haven't got

97
00:04:06,176 --> 00:04:08,456
Speaker 2: all my guys, my offensive lineman a gift, and it's

98
00:04:08,456 --> 00:04:11,016
Speaker 2: almost become an ongoing joke where every time I see him,

99
00:04:11,096 --> 00:04:14,736
Speaker 2: like Castle, where's our gift, it's just I still feel bad.

100
00:04:14,736 --> 00:04:16,696
Speaker 1: But I love you guys, Love you guys in the mail.

101
00:04:16,815 --> 00:04:17,416
Speaker 5: It's in the mail.

102
00:04:18,015 --> 00:04:20,936
Speaker 1: I was having a little pet little physical therapy on

103
00:04:20,936 --> 00:04:23,815
Speaker 1: my ankle foot at surgery, like eight weeks ago or so,

104
00:04:23,976 --> 00:04:27,415
Speaker 1: and maybe not that much, but it still hurts, and

105
00:04:27,775 --> 00:04:29,536
Speaker 1: I was a little concerned that I reinjured it, although

106
00:04:29,575 --> 00:04:32,135
Speaker 1: I've done nothing to re injure it. And basically they say,

107
00:04:32,575 --> 00:04:34,096
Speaker 1: you haven't used in it a couple of months, so

108
00:04:34,135 --> 00:04:35,616
Speaker 1: obviously it's going to hurt when you start to use

109
00:04:35,655 --> 00:04:38,176
Speaker 1: it again. So all that aside. I was at my

110
00:04:38,536 --> 00:04:42,855
Speaker 1: physical therapist's office and he says, hey, you do a

111
00:04:42,856 --> 00:04:46,695
Speaker 1: football podcast. I say, yeah, so what's called? I said,

112
00:04:46,976 --> 00:04:50,335
Speaker 1: lots to say? And he said, you work with Matt Castle.

113
00:04:50,655 --> 00:04:53,136
Speaker 1: I say yeah. He said, I don't know him, but

114
00:04:53,135 --> 00:04:55,256
Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends that know him. I'm

115
00:04:55,255 --> 00:05:00,015
Speaker 1: going to quote his question about you. He said, because

116
00:05:00,015 --> 00:05:01,895
Speaker 1: of what I've heard, is he the nicest guy ever?

117
00:05:02,176 --> 00:05:05,415
Speaker 1: And I say, yes, he is. Wow, that's exactly.

118
00:05:05,015 --> 00:05:07,936
Speaker 5: What I I know what to expect on that, right.

119
00:05:07,895 --> 00:05:11,815
Speaker 1: He said, is he the nicest guy ever? I said,

120
00:05:11,815 --> 00:05:15,696
Speaker 1: he's the greatest dude. All right, thank you, he said,

121
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,896
Speaker 1: never met him. But he's also worked with a lot

122
00:05:17,936 --> 00:05:19,935
Speaker 1: of pro athletes here in the area, and he mentioned

123
00:05:19,936 --> 00:05:21,896
Speaker 1: a few of them. They said, I just here, he's

124
00:05:21,936 --> 00:05:24,535
Speaker 1: the greatest and I'm like, brother, you have no idea.

125
00:05:24,376 --> 00:05:26,735
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm going into your next physical therapy. I'm going

126
00:05:26,775 --> 00:05:29,856
Speaker 2: to fake out that injury. Oh yeah, oh, thank you

127
00:05:29,895 --> 00:05:33,616
Speaker 2: so much. Oh you cracked better than anybody. Job, man,

128
00:05:33,736 --> 00:05:36,376
Speaker 2: you crack better than anybody. Never had a massage like this.

129
00:05:37,215 --> 00:05:40,376
Speaker 1: I bet you got good massages though. Being a pro athlete.

130
00:05:40,736 --> 00:05:43,535
Speaker 2: You know, you normally find one person that works with

131
00:05:43,575 --> 00:05:45,655
Speaker 2: you and then they kind of start to understand your

132
00:05:45,736 --> 00:05:48,695
Speaker 2: dynamics of your body and you stick with them. And

133
00:05:48,815 --> 00:05:52,015
Speaker 2: so everywhere I went, you kind of get one person

134
00:05:52,296 --> 00:05:54,176
Speaker 2: to work on you, especially on like a Monday, after

135
00:05:54,215 --> 00:05:55,656
Speaker 2: you get the hell beat I of you on a Sunday,

136
00:05:55,655 --> 00:05:58,815
Speaker 2: it just helps get the inflammation out, muscle's going. So

137
00:05:59,376 --> 00:06:01,056
Speaker 2: I would do that. But you know what's crazy is

138
00:06:01,056 --> 00:06:04,335
Speaker 2: when you stop playing. I think I've had one, maybe

139
00:06:04,335 --> 00:06:06,856
Speaker 2: two massages since I stop playing, so that's been within

140
00:06:06,976 --> 00:06:08,335
Speaker 2: the like what five years.

141
00:06:09,255 --> 00:06:11,736
Speaker 5: I don't and I miss them. I honestly missed them.

142
00:06:11,856 --> 00:06:12,616
Speaker 5: I'm gonna the.

143
00:06:12,616 --> 00:06:15,096
Speaker 1: Massages will always be bodywork or would you ever get

144
00:06:15,096 --> 00:06:16,455
Speaker 1: a massage just for like relaxation.

145
00:06:16,616 --> 00:06:17,775
Speaker 5: Never relaxation either.

146
00:06:17,976 --> 00:06:22,215
Speaker 2: It was, but never the worst like deep tissue, grinded

147
00:06:22,255 --> 00:06:26,296
Speaker 2: out iteas it's not improving, yeah, kind of like bruising type.

148
00:06:26,895 --> 00:06:28,895
Speaker 2: And then the whole time and the so as when

149
00:06:28,936 --> 00:06:31,416
Speaker 2: they do that, oh god, yeah, So it wasn't really

150
00:06:31,416 --> 00:06:35,815
Speaker 2: an enjoyable like put on the like light massage music,

151
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:37,535
Speaker 2: and you just sit there and they kind of know.

152
00:06:37,815 --> 00:06:41,096
Speaker 2: It was like grinded out, get them, get the massage

153
00:06:41,096 --> 00:06:42,455
Speaker 2: and elbows, the whole deal.

154
00:06:42,976 --> 00:06:45,255
Speaker 1: So Christmas gifts, Joe Burrow gifted each one of his

155
00:06:45,296 --> 00:06:48,695
Speaker 1: linemen genuine unique samurai swords. This a couple of years ago.

156
00:06:48,695 --> 00:06:50,695
Speaker 1: You guys remember this. Some of the swords dated back

157
00:06:50,695 --> 00:06:52,775
Speaker 1: to the sixteenth century, so you're gonnabout fifteen hundred.

158
00:06:52,895 --> 00:06:56,575
Speaker 5: These are like real samurai swords. That's pretty unique.

159

Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty cool. Rock Purty. Now, there's been some revelation

160
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:08,056
Speaker 1: about this recently because at the time it was block

161
00:07:08,135 --> 00:07:10,896
Speaker 1: Brock Party got all his guys trucks, but he had

162
00:07:10,936 --> 00:07:13,016
Speaker 1: a sponsorship deal and it was part of the sponsorship.

163
00:07:13,296 --> 00:07:15,376
Speaker 1: Not that it's not awesome to get a free truck,

164
00:07:15,616 --> 00:07:18,576
Speaker 1: but people because Rock Party wasn't making any money then, right,

165
00:07:18,616 --> 00:07:20,975
Speaker 1: he's in a deal now where he could buy everyday trucks.

166
00:07:21,096 --> 00:07:23,136
Speaker 1: He wasn't in a deal then where he could buy

167
00:07:23,136 --> 00:07:23,816
Speaker 1: everybody trucks.

168
00:07:23,856 --> 00:07:25,016
Speaker 5: Are you throwing shade out?

169
00:07:25,136 --> 00:07:27,456
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Part of his deal was him

170
00:07:27,496 --> 00:07:31,776
Speaker 1: getting trucks rookie contract. He got his ten linemen either

171
00:07:31,816 --> 00:07:34,936
Speaker 1: a Toyota Tundra or a Sequoia in a rookie contract.

172
00:07:34,976 --> 00:07:37,215
Speaker 1: By the way, rookie contract, last pick in the draft,

173
00:07:37,496 --> 00:07:41,016
Speaker 1: you can't. That's it's a bad standard for other guys

174
00:07:41,016 --> 00:07:42,016
Speaker 1: in a rookie contract.

175
00:07:42,136 --> 00:07:43,855
Speaker 5: It does. But you know what league minimum is.

176
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:46,776
Speaker 2: Now, it's like, it's not going to afford that many trucks,

177
00:07:46,776 --> 00:07:49,336
Speaker 2: but it's still like seven hundred and fifty grand or something.

178
00:07:49,456 --> 00:07:51,296
Speaker 1: So just say it's eight hundred thousand. Yeah, but you're

179
00:07:51,336 --> 00:07:53,296
Speaker 1: going to hit that tax or you're gonna fifty percent

180
00:07:53,336 --> 00:07:56,016
Speaker 1: of its gone, right, So four hundred thousand, and let's

181
00:07:56,016 --> 00:08:01,016
Speaker 1: say each truck is forty grand. Ten trucks is four

182
00:08:01,296 --> 00:08:04,016
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, So all your money just went to

183
00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:04,615
Speaker 1: those ten trucks.

184
00:08:04,655 --> 00:08:05,336
Speaker 5: And that's what he did.

185
00:08:05,496 --> 00:08:09,655
Speaker 2: He was living on the street, did not stay facility.

186
00:08:09,736 --> 00:08:11,776
Speaker 2: This is what makes it unique. He gave it all

187
00:08:11,896 --> 00:08:15,016
Speaker 2: up for his lineman. He wanted to show the dedication. Okay,

188
00:08:15,176 --> 00:08:18,056
Speaker 2: just eating at the facility every day, faireness. It was

189
00:08:18,096 --> 00:08:21,975
Speaker 2: like Rudy and the Notre Dame movie when he'd sleep

190
00:08:21,976 --> 00:08:22,896
Speaker 2: in the janitors closet.

191
00:08:22,936 --> 00:08:24,016
Speaker 1: You mean the movie Rudy.

192
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:26,495
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like Rudy in the movie Rudy.

193
00:08:26,496 --> 00:08:28,016
Speaker 1: I was like in the movie, in the Notre Dame

194
00:08:28,016 --> 00:08:30,456
Speaker 1: movie Rudy and the Rudy Ruddy and Rudy.

195
00:08:30,616 --> 00:08:32,696
Speaker 2: Yes, that was I was like, is it, yeah, the

196
00:08:32,696 --> 00:08:34,896
Speaker 2: Notre Dame movie Rudy, Ruddy and Ruddy.

197
00:08:35,416 --> 00:08:37,816
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes left each of his linemen a gift package

198
00:08:37,856 --> 00:08:41,136
Speaker 1: last year with a Rolex. Oakley's, a Yetti cooler, Lukezy

199
00:08:41,216 --> 00:08:44,856
Speaker 1: boots and Recovery boots. All that says Rolex to me,

200
00:08:44,935 --> 00:08:47,336
Speaker 1: All that it's just a Rolex and others.

201
00:08:47,696 --> 00:08:50,576
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rolex, but it goes back to what you

202
00:08:50,655 --> 00:08:55,415
Speaker 2: just said about Brock. All those are sponsorship deals, maybe

203
00:08:55,415 --> 00:08:55,856
Speaker 2: other than the.

204
00:08:55,896 --> 00:09:00,056
Speaker 1: Rolex, but the Rolex is the main one. That's like, yeah,

Speaker 2: the front like this.

212
00:09:25,136 --> 00:09:27,496
Speaker 1: I don't like them putting their own logos on the gifts.

213
00:09:27,496 --> 00:09:29,736
Speaker 2: They're giving. Why did they put their own logo? Why

214
00:09:29,736 --> 00:09:32,776
Speaker 2: didn't they just do their like Lineman's number, and they.

00:09:34,456 --> 00:09:37,336
Speaker 1: I hater? No, No, no, not at all. There's no

217
00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:40,736
Speaker 1: need for that. Yeah, you're already personalized it. This is

218
00:09:40,736 --> 00:09:42,496
Speaker 1: something similar to what you did. Aaron Rodgers on the

219
00:09:42,576 --> 00:09:44,776
Speaker 1: Jets had a tailor come in measure the line for

220
00:09:44,816 --> 00:09:48,175
Speaker 1: custom tom Ford suits, complete with matching Colone and sunglasses.

221
00:09:48,535 --> 00:09:57,016
Speaker 5: Mine was big and tall, so no men's warehouse out.

222
00:09:58,456 --> 00:10:01,455
Speaker 5: That's pretty that's yeah, he's pretty cool too. That's why.

223
00:10:01,856 --> 00:10:03,655
Speaker 5: Oh you know, I know you've got a few hangings

224
00:10:03,655 --> 00:10:04,256
Speaker 5: in your closet.

225
00:10:04,976 --> 00:10:07,016
Speaker 1: Not I have a couple hanging in my closet.

226
00:10:07,136 --> 00:10:09,376

227
00:10:09,456 --> 00:10:09,776
Speaker 4: I do not.

228
00:10:10,976 --> 00:10:15,776
Speaker 1: I do no, not anymore. Those days have long gone

229
00:10:16,136 --> 00:10:17,776
Speaker 1: where I'm spending money like that on suits. I had

230
00:10:17,856 --> 00:10:20,856
Speaker 1: my phase, but now I'm good, buddy, you still got

231
00:10:20,896 --> 00:10:23,056
Speaker 1: some I still have to see that swag. But also

232
00:10:23,096 --> 00:10:26,415
Speaker 1: I used to get a ton of television money. Oh,

233
00:10:26,655 --> 00:10:27,976
Speaker 1: I was doing network television.

234
00:10:28,175 --> 00:10:28,616
Speaker 5: Yeah.

235
00:10:28,696 --> 00:10:30,776
Speaker 1: It was the greatest. Was when they were like, hey,

236
00:10:30,816 --> 00:10:32,536
Speaker 1: just dress yourself for these four things, and the would

237
00:10:32,535 --> 00:10:35,536
Speaker 1: put no budget on it, instead of going yeah, instead

238
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:37,175
Speaker 1: of going hey, we're gonna give you an allowance. The

239
00:10:37,216 --> 00:10:41,056
Speaker 1: allowance was always way significant per episode. Yeah, like I

240
00:10:41,055 --> 00:10:43,336
Speaker 1: can use you this American idol for example, that network

241
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:45,535
Speaker 1: money is crazy, and they'd be like, okay, you got

242
00:10:45,576 --> 00:10:48,215
Speaker 1: to do one episode. Here, here's three thousand dollars for

243
00:10:48,256 --> 00:10:50,176
Speaker 1: this one episode. So what I would do is I

244
00:10:50,216 --> 00:10:54,415
Speaker 1: would easily get all my clothes, probably two we'll call

245
00:10:54,456 --> 00:10:57,656
Speaker 1: them wardrobes outfits, two of them for like a thousand,

246
00:10:57,736 --> 00:10:59,776
Speaker 1: and save the two thousand, and then you'd have to

247
00:10:59,856 --> 00:11:01,696
Speaker 1: use it all or it would just go away. You

248
00:11:01,696 --> 00:11:03,575
Speaker 1: didn't get to keep the extra. So the next week

249
00:11:03,576 --> 00:11:06,496
Speaker 1: I'd have like six thousand dollars and then I would

250
00:11:06,535 --> 00:11:08,335
Speaker 1: get me just a crazy awesome suit.

251
00:11:09,016 --> 00:11:11,175
Speaker 5: That's brilliant, that's strategizing.

252
00:11:11,256 --> 00:11:14,176
Speaker 1: It's amazing that money, that that closed money was amazing.

253
00:11:14,216 --> 00:11:15,295
Speaker 5: Missed that close money.

254
00:11:15,456 --> 00:11:18,496
Speaker 2: I just wore cardigans all the time, now I know,

255
00:11:18,935 --> 00:11:22,696
Speaker 2: but but they're still well that got swagged to it.

256
00:11:22,736 --> 00:11:23,376
Speaker 5: Let's be honest.

257
00:11:23,376 --> 00:11:25,815
Speaker 1: But you don't even have to dress up to look

258
00:11:25,896 --> 00:11:28,416
Speaker 1: dressed up in a cardigan sweater, that's right, because people

259
00:11:28,496 --> 00:11:30,816
Speaker 1: just think you're put together. Yeah, no, I just got

260
00:11:30,816 --> 00:11:32,856
Speaker 1: a T shirt and cargan. It's just class that's what

261
00:11:32,896 --> 00:11:33,095
Speaker 1: it is.

262
00:11:33,136 --> 00:11:35,976
Speaker 2: It's a classy look like whatever you put on it

263
00:11:36,256 --> 00:11:38,016
Speaker 2: or under it. I guess I should say one time,

264
00:11:38,016 --> 00:11:39,296
Speaker 2: I want you to show up with no shirt on

265
00:11:39,376 --> 00:11:40,736
Speaker 2: under it just rock.

266
00:11:41,016 --> 00:11:41,896
Speaker 5: Never would I.

267
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:43,535
Speaker 1: But when I was on Dancing with the Stars one week,

268
00:11:43,535 --> 00:11:45,816
Speaker 1: I had to go dance with no shirt. Yeah, I

269
00:11:45,856 --> 00:11:48,136
Speaker 1: had was a jacket, a jacket with no shirt underneath it.

270
00:11:48,376 --> 00:11:50,536
Speaker 1: And I thought to myself, I cannot. They were like,

271
00:11:50,576 --> 00:11:52,216
Speaker 1: you have to do it. And they didn't make me,

272
00:11:52,256 --> 00:11:54,455
Speaker 1: make me, but they really rooted me on and they

273
00:11:54,496 --> 00:11:55,815
Speaker 1: sprayed in the crap out of me. I think, I

274
00:11:55,856 --> 00:11:56,256
Speaker 1: told this, but.

275
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,936
Speaker 5: How many apps do you do that week? That week?

276
00:11:59,456 --> 00:12:02,335
Speaker 2: Like some planks, crunches, like getting get it ready for Shade?

00:12:06,216 --> 00:12:08,456
Speaker 2: All I did was sit ups and push ups for.

00:12:10,456 --> 00:12:12,256
Speaker 1: And anytime I thought I was on a camera, like

Speaker 1: at the beginning to do an intro and they're like this,

316
00:13:48,136 --> 00:13:52,175
Speaker 4: I will tell the staff, no quad box, fantastic stobox Matt.

317
00:13:52,256 --> 00:13:54,935
Speaker 4: Matt needs to be able to see everything. Yeah, that's

318
00:13:54,976 --> 00:13:57,256
Speaker 4: the high class problem to have. By the way, true

319
00:13:57,655 --> 00:14:00,256
Speaker 4: if that's the worst, If that's the worst complaint, we'll

320
00:14:00,295 --> 00:14:01,016
Speaker 4: we'll live with that.

321
00:14:01,256 --> 00:14:02,496
Speaker 1: Scott. Have you met Matt before?

322
00:14:03,976 --> 00:14:04,336
Speaker 4: Oh?

323
00:14:04,376 --> 00:14:04,736
Speaker 3: I have?

324
00:14:05,496 --> 00:14:09,056
Speaker 4: I have. Matt might not remember was it.

325
00:14:09,096 --> 00:14:10,456
Speaker 5: Were we at a party or what.

326
00:14:12,376 --> 00:14:14,736
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. No, it wasn't that. I

327
00:14:15,175 --> 00:14:19,576
Speaker 4: met you during during your starting season for the New

328
00:14:19,576 --> 00:14:23,096
Speaker 4: England Patriots two thousand and eight, so before red Zone

329
00:14:23,136 --> 00:14:26,216
Speaker 4: started in two thousand and nine, I was a roving

330
00:14:26,296 --> 00:14:29,376
Speaker 4: reporter for the NFL, so I had covered you guys

331
00:14:29,656 --> 00:14:32,136
Speaker 4: the great two thousand and seven season. Of course, Brady

332
00:14:32,176 --> 00:14:34,896
Speaker 4: gets hurt in two thousand and eight, and I was

333
00:14:35,056 --> 00:14:42,416
Speaker 4: at the New England Buffalo Bills game late December. I

334
00:14:42,456 --> 00:14:43,136
Speaker 4: want to say.

335
00:14:42,976 --> 00:14:45,335
Speaker 5: Week that was the final week, Week sixteen.

336
00:14:46,136 --> 00:14:48,616
Speaker 4: It was week it was week seventeen seventeen, but the

337
00:14:48,656 --> 00:14:52,456
Speaker 4: sixteenth game, and do you remember what that game was like?

338
00:14:52,856 --> 00:14:57,816
Speaker 2: It was absolutely the worst conditions ever, the most miserable snowing.

339
00:14:58,096 --> 00:15:00,696
Speaker 5: The wins were what fifty five sixteen hour.

340
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:06,776
Speaker 4: The wind pushed the goalpost's sideway. In fact, I don't

341
00:15:06,776 --> 00:15:08,776
Speaker 4: know if you guys have capability to punch up an

342
00:15:08,816 --> 00:15:10,976
Speaker 4: image or anything, but if you could, if one of

343
00:15:10,976 --> 00:15:15,615
Speaker 4: your people google's Patriots bills two thousand and eight in Buffalo,

344
00:15:15,776 --> 00:15:19,616
Speaker 4: there are images of the goalposts going like this from

345
00:15:19,656 --> 00:15:25,216
Speaker 4: the wind that was that was swirling at then rich Stadium.

346
00:15:25,336 --> 00:15:29,176
Speaker 4: It was called and it was unbelievable. Before you guys,

347
00:15:29,216 --> 00:15:32,456
Speaker 4: so I'm doing pregame hits for NFL Network during the

348
00:15:32,456 --> 00:15:36,016
Speaker 4: pregame show, before you guys had even arrived at the stadium,

349
00:15:36,416 --> 00:15:39,176
Speaker 4: and they're setting up the stadium whatnot. And it was cold,

350
00:15:39,256 --> 00:15:41,416
Speaker 4: so they had the heating benches, you know, the big

351
00:15:41,536 --> 00:15:45,096
Speaker 4: white like heating benches, you know the blow them those

352
00:15:45,136 --> 00:15:48,856
Speaker 4: heating benches blew off of the sideline and were tumbling

353
00:15:48,936 --> 00:15:54,856
Speaker 4: down the as I'm doing my hit and so that

354
00:15:54,976 --> 00:15:56,776
Speaker 4: was the most one of the most incredible games I

355
00:15:56,816 --> 00:15:59,376
Speaker 4: had ever covered. And you guys were brilliant in the game.

356
00:15:59,656 --> 00:16:02,336
Speaker 4: Patriots won the game. You led them to a thirteen

357
00:16:02,376 --> 00:16:05,976
Speaker 4: to nothing win. Gotkowski somehow. I hit a couple of

358
00:16:05,976 --> 00:16:08,336
Speaker 4: field goals in that. I mean, if you look in

359
00:16:08,376 --> 00:16:10,576
Speaker 4: the game book, it said like thirty mile an hour

360
00:16:10,976 --> 00:16:14,335
Speaker 4: sustained wins, and the gusts were like fifty And there's

361
00:16:14,376 --> 00:16:16,256
Speaker 4: not a lot of people even listening that have stood

362
00:16:16,256 --> 00:16:19,095
Speaker 4: in fifty mile an hour wins. It was insane, but

363
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:22,136
Speaker 4: you guys won. But the reason I get a smile

364
00:16:22,176 --> 00:16:24,256
Speaker 4: on my face about it is I go to the

365
00:16:24,296 --> 00:16:27,896
Speaker 4: postgame locker room and so I'm interviewing all the individual players,

366
00:16:27,896 --> 00:16:30,416
Speaker 4: and I'm representing NFL Network, so I can usually get

367
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:33,056
Speaker 4: one on one interviews as opposed to going into a

368
00:16:33,056 --> 00:16:35,776
Speaker 4: big scrum with a bunch of microphones sticking in someone's face.

369
00:16:36,096 --> 00:16:38,856
Speaker 4: So Matt the winning quarterback, was kind enough to give

370
00:16:38,936 --> 00:16:42,536
Speaker 4: me a one on one interview. We had a great interview.

371
00:16:42,576 --> 00:16:44,096
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I'm rooting for this guy. I go,

372
00:16:44,176 --> 00:16:45,376
Speaker 4: I don't know what it's going to look like, you know,

373
00:16:45,416 --> 00:16:47,816
Speaker 4: when Brady comes back and whatnot. So I'm thinking, you know,

374
00:16:47,896 --> 00:16:50,376
Speaker 4: Matt Castle, Matt Castle, and I said, I'm going to

375
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:55,336
Speaker 4: get one more interview, and I go over to Mike Vrabel. Now,

376
00:16:55,856 --> 00:16:59,056
Speaker 4: I'm sure you've told Mike Vrabel stories on this podcast

377
00:16:59,536 --> 00:17:04,255
Speaker 4: several times. Mike does not suffer fools, right, And I

378
00:17:04,296 --> 00:17:07,576
Speaker 4: had just interviewed you you and I go to Rabel

379
00:17:07,736 --> 00:17:09,816
Speaker 4: and I go, hey, Matt, can I get you quick

380
00:17:09,856 --> 00:17:15,295
Speaker 4: for a quick interview. I called him Matt accidentally in

381
00:17:15,376 --> 00:17:18,775
Speaker 4: my head, oh my, and he literally goes to me.

382
00:17:18,856 --> 00:17:24,096
Speaker 4: He looks, he goes Matt, Matt like like I was

383
00:17:24,136 --> 00:17:28,815
Speaker 4: a complete imbecile. You didn't know doing that, and walked

384
00:17:28,856 --> 00:17:31,575
Speaker 4: away from me. And all the other reporters heard it

385
00:17:31,616 --> 00:17:36,696
Speaker 4: and saw it, and I just went it was so small.

386
00:17:36,856 --> 00:17:39,336
Speaker 4: It was my fault. But because you had played well

387
00:17:39,416 --> 00:17:42,376
Speaker 4: in those ridiculous circumstances and won the game and gave

388
00:17:42,376 --> 00:17:44,096
Speaker 4: me a one on one interview, I had Matt on

389
00:17:44,176 --> 00:17:46,696
Speaker 4: my brain. And I still have never talked of Rabel

390
00:17:46,696 --> 00:17:48,936
Speaker 4: about it since. I want to apologize to him, but.

391
00:17:49,056 --> 00:17:51,295
Speaker 5: Oh, don't apologize. Don't apologize.

392
00:17:51,376 --> 00:17:53,856
Speaker 4: He doesn't, he doesn't remember, but he you know what,

393
00:17:54,176 --> 00:17:55,736
Speaker 4: you got to be on your p's and q's when

394
00:17:55,776 --> 00:18:01,136
Speaker 4: you're around Mike, not Matt Vrab, Matt Rabel, I'm his

395
00:18:01,296 --> 00:18:02,096
Speaker 4: long lost sun.

396
00:18:02,656 --> 00:18:03,936
Speaker 5: Speaking of that, you just said that.

397
00:18:04,016 --> 00:18:08,056
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're you're doing interviews, that type of situation.

398
00:18:08,176 --> 00:18:10,536
Speaker 2: You go up and you call Mike Matt when you're

399
00:18:10,776 --> 00:18:13,775
Speaker 2: on the red zone. How many names are running through

400
00:18:13,816 --> 00:18:15,775
Speaker 2: your head? And how hard is that to be able

401
00:18:15,816 --> 00:18:19,096
Speaker 2: to translate that into on air and not mess a

402
00:18:19,176 --> 00:18:19,616
Speaker 2: name up.

403
00:18:20,816 --> 00:18:24,255
Speaker 4: It is difficult, and I am certainly not perfect, but

404
00:18:25,536 --> 00:18:28,856
Speaker 4: to mix a sports metaphor, I want my free throw

405
00:18:28,936 --> 00:18:33,136
Speaker 4: percentage to be high nineties. You know, I probably say

406
00:18:33,296 --> 00:18:39,416
Speaker 4: on an average Red Zone episode, I mean I probably

407
00:18:39,455 --> 00:18:43,495
Speaker 4: say a couple hundred names, maybe one hundred, two hundred,

408
00:18:43,776 --> 00:18:47,255
Speaker 4: probably a couple hundred names. And there's only seventeen hundred

409
00:18:47,296 --> 00:18:50,096
Speaker 4: players in the NFL at any given time, and I'm

410
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:53,896
Speaker 4: probably saying two hundred names, and especially late in the

411
00:18:53,936 --> 00:18:57,696
Speaker 4: season as we're speaking now, where injuries have taken their

412
00:18:57,735 --> 00:19:00,096
Speaker 4: toll and you've got practice squad guys getting up there

413
00:19:00,136 --> 00:19:04,216
Speaker 4: and somebody picks off a quarterback and I'm like, who

414
00:19:04,376 --> 00:19:06,855
Speaker 4: is twenty three? I don't know who twenty three is.

415
00:19:07,296 --> 00:19:09,336
Speaker 4: And I've got a researcher and a spot or Tim

416
00:19:09,376 --> 00:19:12,216
Speaker 4: Galanyon's Brian la Revie, my right hand men. They're awesome.

417
00:19:12,455 --> 00:19:15,776
Speaker 4: They will fire up a roster real quick to get

418
00:19:15,816 --> 00:19:18,255
Speaker 4: me the name and a pronunciation if I need it.

419
00:19:18,616 --> 00:19:20,455
Speaker 4: But guys, we have done it, and we're in the

420
00:19:20,455 --> 00:19:23,936
Speaker 4: season right now. We've done that where let's say number

421
00:19:23,936 --> 00:19:26,535
Speaker 4: twenty three for whatever team picks off a guy, I'm like,

422
00:19:26,576 --> 00:19:29,575
Speaker 4: who's twenty three? And then they're coming to me and

423
00:19:29,616 --> 00:19:31,936
Speaker 4: they look at me and there's no twenty three on

424
00:19:32,016 --> 00:19:34,096
Speaker 4: the official website.

425
00:19:33,455 --> 00:19:34,936
Speaker 5: Of the team.

426
00:19:35,056 --> 00:19:37,176
Speaker 4: They literally just called the guy up or they got

427
00:19:37,256 --> 00:19:39,896
Speaker 4: him off the street or whatever, slap the jersey on him,

428
00:19:39,936 --> 00:19:42,335
Speaker 4: and he's in the game and makes a play, and

429
00:19:42,376 --> 00:19:44,455
Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't know who that is. So a

430
00:19:44,455 --> 00:19:46,856
Speaker 4: lot of times I'll just say great job by the defense.

431
00:19:46,896 --> 00:19:48,856
Speaker 4: There they turn him over, and now the ball goes

432
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:52,376
Speaker 4: back over to the other quarterback. Whatever. But it's difficult,

433
00:19:52,416 --> 00:19:57,215
Speaker 4: and of course social media is unforgiving if and when

434
00:19:58,056 --> 00:19:59,096
Speaker 4: I mess up a name.

435
00:19:59,856 --> 00:20:02,376
Speaker 1: After you left Syracuse, did you ever do the local news?

436
00:20:02,416 --> 00:20:03,815
Speaker 1: Did were you ever your own guy? Had to set

437
00:20:03,856 --> 00:20:05,816
Speaker 1: up your own camera? Do that? What can you talk

438
00:20:05,856 --> 00:20:06,896
Speaker 1: about that first job?

439
00:20:08,215 --> 00:20:11,535
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a great story. So I'm old. I'm an

440
00:20:11,536 --> 00:20:15,176
Speaker 4: old man. You're old timer here. I'm fifty four and

441
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:19,575
Speaker 4: so my first year out of Syracuse working as the

442
00:20:19,936 --> 00:20:27,295
Speaker 4: weekend sports anchor for WPBN Traverse City, Michigan, which so

443
00:20:27,376 --> 00:20:30,855
Speaker 4: they ranked the television markets one to like, there's like

444
00:20:30,856 --> 00:20:33,295
Speaker 4: two hundred TV markets in the country, a little bit

445
00:20:33,296 --> 00:20:35,255
Speaker 4: more than two hundred, and they rank them one to

446
00:20:35,296 --> 00:20:40,136
Speaker 4: two hundred based on population. This was market one twenty one. Okay,

447
00:20:40,215 --> 00:20:45,056
Speaker 4: anything beyond one hundred is tiny. Okay. My annual salary

448
00:20:45,856 --> 00:20:48,455
Speaker 4: at that place, and the one year that I was there,

449
00:20:49,016 --> 00:20:52,336
Speaker 4: you want to guess, take again, nineteen ninety three, ninety

450
00:20:52,336 --> 00:20:53,296
Speaker 4: three into ninety.

451
00:20:53,096 --> 00:20:56,696
Speaker 8: Four, ninety three local news. Okay, local news. I was local,

452
00:20:57,256 --> 00:20:59,535
Speaker 8: So i'm market. Three days during the week I was

453
00:20:59,536 --> 00:21:02,616
Speaker 8: a sports reporter. On the weekends, I would anchor from

454
00:21:02,616 --> 00:21:03,455
Speaker 8: the anchor.

455
00:21:03,136 --> 00:21:04,176
Speaker 4: Desk the sports report.

456
00:21:04,215 --> 00:21:10,136
Speaker 1: Thirty nine thousand, thirty nine Matt twenty thousand, try.

457
00:21:10,215 --> 00:21:15,455
Speaker 4: Fifteen thousand dollars. Wow, was my salary in nineteen ninety three,

458
00:21:16,336 --> 00:21:19,015
Speaker 4: and like it was, it was, but I would have

459
00:21:19,056 --> 00:21:22,936
Speaker 4: done it for fourteen thousand. I remember reading in USA today,

460
00:21:23,016 --> 00:21:26,216
Speaker 4: back when newspaper physical newspapers were a thing. Remember how

461
00:21:26,215 --> 00:21:28,336
Speaker 4: they used to have a graph in the front page

462
00:21:28,336 --> 00:21:29,775
Speaker 4: of USA Today they always had a kind of an

463
00:21:29,816 --> 00:21:34,775
Speaker 4: interesting like like pie chartie thing, little pie charted graph

464
00:21:34,816 --> 00:21:36,976
Speaker 4: at the bottom that they just saw people were. This

465
00:21:37,016 --> 00:21:39,855
Speaker 4: one was percentage of people in the United States that

466
00:21:39,975 --> 00:21:44,376
Speaker 4: lived below the poverty line, and the poverty line was

467
00:21:44,495 --> 00:21:48,216
Speaker 4: like thirteen five or something. And I'm like, I'm on

468
00:21:48,256 --> 00:21:51,696
Speaker 4: television making fifteen thousand dollars. If i'd have made a

469
00:21:51,696 --> 00:21:54,616
Speaker 4: grand less, I would have been below the poverty line.

470
00:21:54,616 --> 00:21:56,856
Speaker 4: And people think you're a big hot shot TV guy,

471
00:21:56,936 --> 00:21:59,136
Speaker 4: So yeah, I was. Oh dude, I was a one

472
00:21:59,215 --> 00:22:02,256
Speaker 4: man band, literally setting up my own tripod. And this

473
00:22:02,296 --> 00:22:04,455
Speaker 4: is not back in the days where everybody had a

474
00:22:04,495 --> 00:22:08,776
Speaker 4: TV studio in their hand. Here, you know, camera was bulky,

475
00:22:09,536 --> 00:22:12,975
Speaker 4: and you'd have people walking by at a high school

476
00:22:12,975 --> 00:22:16,536
Speaker 4: game or something like where's your camera guy, And I'm like, oh, yeah,

477
00:22:17,056 --> 00:22:19,295
Speaker 4: you know you're looking at him, or oh he's in

478
00:22:19,336 --> 00:22:21,416
Speaker 4: the he's in the production truck right now. I'm sure

479
00:22:21,416 --> 00:22:23,416
Speaker 4: he'll be back here in a second. So yeah, I

480
00:22:23,696 --> 00:22:26,656
Speaker 4: paid my dues, like like most people who have gone

481
00:22:26,696 --> 00:22:27,696
Speaker 4: through any industry.

482
00:22:28,056 --> 00:22:29,095
Speaker 5: Yeah, you definitely paid her.

483
00:22:29,176 --> 00:22:31,496
Speaker 2: Just when did you feel like you had your big

484
00:22:31,576 --> 00:22:35,056
Speaker 2: break and got to a place where you're like, I've

485
00:22:35,136 --> 00:22:37,216
Speaker 2: I've kind of set myself up here.

486
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:38,296
Speaker 5: I can make a career out of this.

487
00:22:39,576 --> 00:22:46,855
Speaker 4: It's all. That's a good question. I've never really felt like, Okay,

488
00:22:46,936 --> 00:22:50,255
Speaker 4: I'm at the destination, honestly. Honestly, I don't mean to

489
00:22:50,256 --> 00:22:55,576
Speaker 4: give you a cliche answer, but there were tent polls

490
00:22:55,616 --> 00:22:58,696
Speaker 4: in my life as I went through from from when

491
00:22:58,696 --> 00:23:01,495
Speaker 4: I transitioned from being a weekend sports anchor at like

492
00:23:01,576 --> 00:23:06,056
Speaker 4: a local ABC, NBC, CBS station to when I went

493
00:23:06,136 --> 00:23:09,295
Speaker 4: to an all sports network. My first gig at an

494
00:23:09,296 --> 00:23:12,735
Speaker 4: all sports network was what was called Comcast Sports Net

495
00:23:13,336 --> 00:23:15,936
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia, which was the original one. Now they call

496
00:23:16,016 --> 00:23:20,776
Speaker 4: him NBC Sports, you know, NBC Sports Washington, NBC Sports

497
00:23:20,816 --> 00:23:24,535
Speaker 4: Bay Area, whatever. So this was Philadelphia, and that was

498
00:23:24,576 --> 00:23:27,936
Speaker 4: a big deal because going to all Sports, it was

499
00:23:27,975 --> 00:23:29,535
Speaker 4: like I was going to be the lead story on

500
00:23:29,576 --> 00:23:31,735
Speaker 4: the show. Not not me, but I was going to

501
00:23:31,776 --> 00:23:34,496
Speaker 4: handle the lead story as opposed to being the weekend

502
00:23:34,495 --> 00:23:37,136
Speaker 4: sports guy where they give you three minutes to do

503
00:23:37,296 --> 00:23:39,975
Speaker 4: a whole weekend worth of sports highlights. And then all

504
00:23:39,975 --> 00:23:43,376
Speaker 4: of a sudden, I worked in Tampa at the ABC

505
00:23:43,495 --> 00:23:46,536
Speaker 4: affiliate and I remember a time where I had three

506
00:23:46,576 --> 00:23:48,495
Speaker 4: minutes and you got to pack all of this stuff

507
00:23:48,495 --> 00:23:51,215
Speaker 4: into three minutes. And then five minutes before I go

508
00:23:51,256 --> 00:23:53,816
Speaker 4: on the air, the news director comes in and says,

509
00:23:54,056 --> 00:23:57,536
Speaker 4: there's a water spout in the Gulf of Mexico. Right now,

510
00:23:57,816 --> 00:24:01,015
Speaker 4: weather needs four minutes. You're down to two minutes, like

511
00:24:01,256 --> 00:24:04,416
Speaker 4: right before. And I like my whole everything I had done.

512
00:24:04,735 --> 00:24:09,095
Speaker 4: So transitioning to all sports where that was it. It

513
00:24:09,136 --> 00:24:11,616
Speaker 4: wasn't news, it wasn't weather involved, it wasn't anything else

514
00:24:11,656 --> 00:24:13,816
Speaker 4: like that, that was a big deal. And then moving

515
00:24:13,856 --> 00:24:17,216
Speaker 4: to the NFL, like becoming an employee of the NFL,

516
00:24:17,536 --> 00:24:21,856
Speaker 4: which was now, gosh, twenty seasons ago, that was a big,

517
00:24:21,975 --> 00:24:23,856
Speaker 4: a big deal because you felt like you were at

518
00:24:23,896 --> 00:24:27,215
Speaker 4: the mothership and it gave you some gravitas to be

519
00:24:27,256 --> 00:24:30,295
Speaker 4: able to get one on one interviews with Matt Cassel

520
00:24:30,416 --> 00:24:32,736
Speaker 4: and the starting quarterbacks of the NFL.

521
00:24:32,896 --> 00:24:35,536
Speaker 1: And Matt Radwell, but now I was in Red Zone

522
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:37,455
Speaker 1: and Matt Ray.

523
00:24:39,136 --> 00:24:40,936
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to interview him again at some point

524
00:24:40,936 --> 00:24:43,975
Speaker 4: in my life, and oh man, yeah, but uh but

525
00:24:44,056 --> 00:24:47,376
Speaker 4: now hosting Red Zone for seventeen years, I feel very

526
00:24:49,016 --> 00:24:51,615
Speaker 4: good and I don't want to say settled because I'm

527
00:24:51,616 --> 00:24:53,975
Speaker 4: always trying to get better. Like anyone, I want to

528
00:24:54,176 --> 00:24:57,376
Speaker 4: I want to perform with excellence, and you're only as

529
00:24:57,376 --> 00:25:01,416
Speaker 4: good as your last show. But I feel I feel

530
00:25:01,455 --> 00:25:04,856
Speaker 4: like I'm on firm ground in this industry, and I'm

531
00:25:05,016 --> 00:25:06,696
Speaker 4: I'm very very thankful, very blessed.

532
00:25:06,975 --> 00:25:10,736
Speaker 1: Obviously you played ball, but was your outlook you were

533
00:25:10,735 --> 00:25:13,015
Speaker 1: going to cover just football, because I imagine you have

534
00:25:13,056 --> 00:25:15,136
Speaker 1: to have a Swiss army knife of skills, especially as

535
00:25:15,176 --> 00:25:17,016
Speaker 1: you're just a sports guy. Did you did you hope

536
00:25:17,056 --> 00:25:18,736
Speaker 1: it went in then just football? Or was it all over?

537
00:25:19,656 --> 00:25:21,775
Speaker 4: Boy? You must have read my bio or something like that,

538
00:25:21,856 --> 00:25:25,176
Speaker 4: because that's one hundred percent where I was. I would

539
00:25:25,256 --> 00:25:29,096
Speaker 4: do any sport, and I covered being in like local affiliates.

540
00:25:29,136 --> 00:25:35,416
Speaker 4: I covered eighth grade girls softball, I covered, I covered you.

541
00:25:36,056 --> 00:25:41,336
Speaker 4: I covered the fishing tournaments. The National Trout Festival is

542
00:25:41,735 --> 00:25:45,495
Speaker 4: in northern Michigan and I and I covered I interviewed

543
00:25:45,536 --> 00:25:49,256
Speaker 4: Miss Trout as a matter of beauty, paget around this

544
00:25:49,256 --> 00:25:52,376
Speaker 4: this thing. So I've covered everything there is, but football

545
00:25:52,495 --> 00:25:55,535
Speaker 4: was always number one for me. I grew up in

546
00:25:55,735 --> 00:25:59,055
Speaker 4: I grew up in Michigan, and UH grew up rooting

547
00:25:59,136 --> 00:26:03,775
Speaker 4: for the Michigan Wolverines and the Detroit Lions, and having

548
00:26:04,336 --> 00:26:07,136
Speaker 4: you know, Saturdays and Sundays with my dad, kind of

549
00:26:07,495 --> 00:26:12,015
Speaker 4: our emotions pivot around did our team winner lose? And

550
00:26:12,016 --> 00:26:15,096
Speaker 4: then went on to play football throughout you know, throughout college.

551
00:26:15,136 --> 00:26:18,015
Speaker 4: So football was always number one. And of course the

552
00:26:18,136 --> 00:26:21,056
Speaker 4: NFL is the highest iteration of that, and so that

553
00:26:21,096 --> 00:26:23,735
Speaker 4: this is this is where I've always wanted to be.

554
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:27,576
Speaker 2: Your energy is magnetic, and I want to know how

555
00:26:27,576 --> 00:26:31,176
Speaker 2: do you take care of yourself? Like, like, honestly, you

556
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:33,455
Speaker 2: bring it each and every Sunday, But even talking to

557
00:26:33,455 --> 00:26:36,136
Speaker 2: you on the podcast, I'm just like, dude, tell me

558
00:26:36,176 --> 00:26:36,896
Speaker 2: what you're eating.

559
00:26:37,256 --> 00:26:38,296
Speaker 5: Are you a coffee guy?

560
00:26:38,336 --> 00:26:38,616
Speaker 1: What?

561
00:26:38,616 --> 00:26:38,896
Speaker 5: What?

562
00:26:38,896 --> 00:26:39,096
Speaker 4: What?

563
00:26:39,096 --> 00:26:41,936
Speaker 5: What makes you tick? And bring bring that type of energy.

564
00:26:42,776 --> 00:26:45,416
Speaker 4: Believe it or not, this is this is natural. I think.

565
00:26:45,576 --> 00:26:48,735
Speaker 4: I think my late father, Dick Hanson, he he had

566
00:26:49,096 --> 00:26:52,576
Speaker 4: he had the juice back in his day. And and uh,

567
00:26:52,696 --> 00:26:54,856
Speaker 4: I don't need anything to get going in the morning.

568
00:26:54,936 --> 00:26:56,856
Speaker 4: I take a shower and I am ready to go.

569
00:26:57,376 --> 00:27:00,976
Speaker 4: If I don't, I don't have a lot of caffeine.

570
00:27:00,975 --> 00:27:02,936
Speaker 4: I've had one cup of coffee in my life and

571
00:27:02,936 --> 00:27:05,656
Speaker 4: that was on a dare and I hated it, so

572
00:27:06,376 --> 00:27:12,416
Speaker 4: no caffeine. Literally, it's not to sound philosophical, but let's

573
00:27:12,455 --> 00:27:16,816
Speaker 4: go philosophical for a second. We all have chosen our

574
00:27:16,936 --> 00:27:21,096
Speaker 4: path in life, to the to the to the options

575
00:27:21,136 --> 00:27:24,576
Speaker 4: that we've had presented to us, right, And if I

576
00:27:24,816 --> 00:27:28,095
Speaker 4: was a school teacher or a doctor, or a lawyer

577
00:27:28,336 --> 00:27:32,416
Speaker 4: or a janitor, I would hope I would have enthusiasm

578
00:27:32,536 --> 00:27:35,255
Speaker 4: in my life the way that I have it. Working

579
00:27:35,296 --> 00:27:38,816
Speaker 4: in the toy department, right, working in sports, working in football.

580
00:27:39,776 --> 00:27:43,576
Speaker 4: We only get so many heartbeats on this planet, and

581
00:27:44,176 --> 00:27:46,416
Speaker 4: how are you going to spend them? And I try

582
00:27:46,455 --> 00:27:50,656
Speaker 4: to have enthusiasm and passion for not only my life,

583
00:27:50,696 --> 00:27:52,455
Speaker 4: but for other people. You guys asked me to be

584
00:27:52,495 --> 00:27:53,936
Speaker 4: on this podcast. I'm going to give you the best

585
00:27:53,975 --> 00:27:57,616
Speaker 4: that I have. People have an infinite number of choices.

586
00:27:57,856 --> 00:28:01,136
Speaker 4: I'm referring over to my media wall over here at

587
00:28:01,136 --> 00:28:02,896
Speaker 4: my place in Los Angeles. I don't know if that's

588
00:28:02,896 --> 00:28:06,296
Speaker 4: going to show up here on my on my media

589
00:28:06,376 --> 00:28:09,055
Speaker 4: wall over there. When people turn on their TV on

590
00:28:09,176 --> 00:28:13,136
Speaker 4: Sunday and you consider streaming options, infinite number of choices.

591
00:28:13,455 --> 00:28:15,936
Speaker 4: If they come to NFL Red Zone, if they stop

592
00:28:15,975 --> 00:28:18,536
Speaker 4: on me and our team, I'm gonna give them everything

593
00:28:18,576 --> 00:28:22,735
Speaker 4: I got and that's really where the passion comes from.

594
00:28:22,816 --> 00:28:24,496
Speaker 4: And the last thing I would say on it is this,

595
00:28:25,616 --> 00:28:30,136
Speaker 4: when when you don't have talent, you better have enthusiasm.

596
00:28:30,656 --> 00:28:32,376
Speaker 4: And that's the way I live my life as a

597
00:28:32,376 --> 00:28:36,455
Speaker 4: football player as a scrub walk on at Syracuse, and

598
00:28:36,816 --> 00:28:39,576
Speaker 4: that's the way I try and live my professional life

599
00:28:39,616 --> 00:28:40,416
Speaker 4: as a broadcaster.

600
00:28:40,896 --> 00:28:43,696
Speaker 1: I know you lived in Tampa and worked with the

601
00:28:43,736 --> 00:28:46,736
Speaker 1: Bucks at least alongside them, and I've been lucky enough

602
00:28:46,776 --> 00:28:49,136
Speaker 1: to spend a little bit of time with coach Dongeee

603
00:28:49,176 --> 00:28:52,376
Speaker 1: and I love being around him. How did you feel

604
00:28:52,416 --> 00:28:54,576
Speaker 1: working alongside coach Dungee? And do you have a good

605
00:28:54,616 --> 00:28:56,496
Speaker 1: Dungee story?

606
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:58,016
Speaker 5: Ooh?

607
00:28:58,256 --> 00:29:03,376
Speaker 4: My single favorite person to deal with in sports is

608
00:29:03,416 --> 00:29:07,176
Speaker 4: Tony Dungee. And Tony, for people who know him, see

609
00:29:07,216 --> 00:29:09,536
Speaker 4: him on broadcast or they've seen him interview, he's not

610
00:29:09,696 --> 00:29:14,416
Speaker 4: the most like like ambulan, you know, like all the

611
00:29:14,536 --> 00:29:16,616
Speaker 4: energy that I'm given right now, that's not Tony is

612
00:29:16,696 --> 00:29:20,696
Speaker 4: very understated. Everybody knows that about Tony and whatnot and like,

613
00:29:21,216 --> 00:29:24,656
Speaker 4: but I love coach. I love him. Maybe my favorite

614
00:29:24,656 --> 00:29:28,016
Speaker 4: story was this, I happened to be a Christian and

615
00:29:28,216 --> 00:29:32,095
Speaker 4: Coach Dungee's vocal about his Christian faith. And when I

616
00:29:32,296 --> 00:29:35,896
Speaker 4: was getting the job in Tampa, he was in his

617
00:29:36,496 --> 00:29:39,296
Speaker 4: he was going into his second year as head coach

618
00:29:39,296 --> 00:29:41,696
Speaker 4: of the Buccketeers, so he was building this thing, right,

619
00:29:41,856 --> 00:29:45,815
Speaker 4: sap John Lynch. You know, Gilfer was the quarterback at

620
00:29:45,856 --> 00:29:48,776
Speaker 4: the time. War done, Michael Stott, Derek Brooks, you can

621
00:29:48,936 --> 00:29:51,976
Speaker 4: re Rende Barber came along, You could go through the list.

622
00:29:52,896 --> 00:29:56,136
Speaker 4: But I was considering taking this job in Tampa, and

623
00:29:56,176 --> 00:29:58,456
Speaker 4: I said, well, I think I know what my professional

624
00:29:58,496 --> 00:30:02,136
Speaker 4: life would be like. The social life would probably be good. Right,

625
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:04,616
Speaker 4: It's the Sunshine State and all that. I'm like, I

626
00:30:04,656 --> 00:30:06,736
Speaker 4: wonder how it is like spiritually down there, Like what

627
00:30:06,736 --> 00:30:09,376
Speaker 4: are the churches like down What is it? So I said,

628
00:30:10,696 --> 00:30:14,056
Speaker 4: I know they're head coach Tony Dungee's involved in a

629
00:30:14,136 --> 00:30:16,696
Speaker 4: lot of Christian charities and things like that. I wonder

630
00:30:16,936 --> 00:30:20,336
Speaker 4: if I could ask him. So I literally cold called

631
00:30:20,896 --> 00:30:26,496
Speaker 4: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers headquarters and and like literally to

632
00:30:26,536 --> 00:30:29,536
Speaker 4: the number that I could find. This is even pre Internet,

633
00:30:29,576 --> 00:30:34,576
Speaker 4: I suppose, like the number that I found and secretary

634
00:30:34,616 --> 00:30:37,656
Speaker 4: passed me, patched me through to another secretary, and I said,

635
00:30:37,696 --> 00:30:39,416
Speaker 4: is there any Yes, I could talk to coach Dungee

636
00:30:39,616 --> 00:30:42,336
Speaker 4: and he didn't know me from anyone else to sports

637
00:30:42,376 --> 00:30:45,976
Speaker 4: report or whatever. Two minutes later, he picks up the phone. Wow,

638
00:30:46,056 --> 00:30:48,696
Speaker 4: and he's like, hey, this is coach Dungee. Now, I mean,

639
00:30:48,776 --> 00:30:53,016
Speaker 4: who what head coach in the NFL would or could

640
00:30:53,216 --> 00:30:56,656
Speaker 4: ever do that? And he spent I don't know ten

641
00:30:56,736 --> 00:30:58,976
Speaker 4: ten to fifteen minutes on the phone, which felt like

642
00:30:59,016 --> 00:31:01,575
Speaker 4: an eternity for me, and I said, hey, coach, you know,

643
00:31:01,896 --> 00:31:04,256
Speaker 4: you know I'm getting offered to this job down at

644
00:31:04,256 --> 00:31:06,936
Speaker 4: the ABC station and Tampa, but I want to know

645
00:31:06,976 --> 00:31:08,616
Speaker 4: what it's like spiritually down there, Like where do you

00:31:14,856 --> 00:31:20,136
Speaker 4: him for all of his years until nineteen ninety nine,

649
00:31:20,496 --> 00:31:24,376
Speaker 4: and then I left Tampa. He left shortly thereafter. Of

650
00:31:24,376 --> 00:31:26,936
Speaker 4: course Gruden came in, but I followed him. I covered

651
00:31:27,016 --> 00:31:29,776
Speaker 4: him with the with the Colts and bump into him

652
00:31:29,776 --> 00:31:34,016
Speaker 4: now and his work on NBC. I love Coach Dungee.

653
00:31:34,136 --> 00:31:37,496
Speaker 4: I have since that moment, always will and I try

654
00:31:37,536 --> 00:31:40,656
Speaker 4: and emulate that in my life when someone I don't

655
00:31:40,656 --> 00:31:44,816
Speaker 4: know asks for some of my time a college student

656
00:31:44,976 --> 00:31:47,416
Speaker 4: or something like that. Even as busy as I am,

657
00:31:47,536 --> 00:31:51,376
Speaker 4: I'm trying. I try to give them some uh some

658
00:31:51,576 --> 00:31:54,376
Speaker 4: love and attention the way Dungee did to me back

659
00:31:54,576 --> 00:31:56,336
Speaker 4: when I was cold calling him.

660
00:31:56,656 --> 00:31:57,296
Speaker 5: That's amazing.

661
00:31:57,856 --> 00:32:15,416
Speaker 7: Uh, that's an awesome that's a great story.

662
00:32:16,456 --> 00:32:19,575
Speaker 2: Take us back seventeen years and the first conversation that

663
00:32:19,656 --> 00:32:22,896
Speaker 2: you were approached with for the Red Zone and how

664
00:32:22,976 --> 00:32:23,575
Speaker 2: was it pitched?

665
00:32:23,576 --> 00:32:24,936
Speaker 5: What went through your mind?

666
00:32:26,376 --> 00:32:29,976
Speaker 4: Yeah, So, as I said, I was a roving reporter.

667
00:32:30,336 --> 00:32:33,896
Speaker 4: They would send me to practices, games do remote reports.

668
00:32:34,376 --> 00:32:38,096
Speaker 4: But I always told the bosses at NFL Network, I said, guys,

669
00:32:38,216 --> 00:32:41,496
Speaker 4: I think from my skill set, I feel better on

670
00:32:41,576 --> 00:32:44,575
Speaker 4: the anchor desk than I do in the field. I

671
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,976
Speaker 4: like to keep all the knives in the drawer sharp.

672
00:32:47,616 --> 00:32:50,736
Speaker 4: And I tried to do be excellent in whatever format

673
00:32:50,816 --> 00:32:52,815
Speaker 4: I'm in. But I said, I would love to host

674
00:32:52,936 --> 00:32:55,616
Speaker 4: something for you, to be the face and the voice

675
00:32:55,616 --> 00:32:59,256
Speaker 4: of something. So the summer of two thousand and nine,

676
00:32:59,576 --> 00:33:04,616
Speaker 4: I had heard that we were starting this channel, the

677
00:33:04,656 --> 00:33:08,896
Speaker 4: Red Zone NFL Red Zone. There had already existed on

678
00:33:09,056 --> 00:33:13,296
Speaker 4: DirectTV the Red Zone channel, which confuses a lot of

679
00:33:13,376 --> 00:33:17,216
Speaker 4: users viewers that there used to be two red zones,

680
00:33:17,816 --> 00:33:20,456
Speaker 4: but they were basically going to kind of copy that

681
00:33:20,576 --> 00:33:24,616
Speaker 4: format and have it themselves in house for the NFL.

682
00:33:25,176 --> 00:33:27,536
Speaker 4: So I pulled up the talent coordinator at that time

683
00:33:27,576 --> 00:33:29,256
Speaker 4: and I was like, wait a minute, Wait a minute.

684
00:33:30,296 --> 00:33:33,776
Speaker 4: This channel is going to be every touchdown from every game,

685
00:33:34,456 --> 00:33:37,736
Speaker 4: seven hours straight through, give you the ten thousand foot

686
00:33:37,856 --> 00:33:41,376
Speaker 4: view of the NFL. We can take you to whatever stadium, wherever, whenever,

687
00:33:42,016 --> 00:33:44,576
Speaker 4: and there's going to be no commercials. And they were

688
00:33:44,616 --> 00:33:47,776
Speaker 4: like yep. And I said, who you got to host

689
00:33:47,816 --> 00:33:51,016
Speaker 4: this thing? And they said, well, we're looking at a

690
00:33:51,056 --> 00:33:54,056
Speaker 4: few people. I said, is my name on the list?

691
00:33:54,736 --> 00:33:58,056
Speaker 4: They said, yeah, your name is on the list. I said,

692
00:33:58,136 --> 00:34:03,296
Speaker 4: I want this. So they had auditions for the short

693
00:34:03,336 --> 00:34:07,095
Speaker 4: list of names that they had and for your audience,

694
00:34:07,136 --> 00:34:12,935
Speaker 4: who might not know. A television audition usually lasts ten

695
00:34:12,976 --> 00:34:16,855
Speaker 4: to fifteen minutes. Right They put you up on set,

696
00:34:17,096 --> 00:34:19,576
Speaker 4: they put a microphone on you, they give you an earpiece,

697
00:34:19,616 --> 00:34:21,696
Speaker 4: and they just want to see how you look, how

698
00:34:21,736 --> 00:34:25,016
Speaker 4: you sound. If it's a co hosted show, they'll bring

699
00:34:25,016 --> 00:34:27,496
Speaker 4: a co anchor, so see if you can execute some

700
00:34:27,576 --> 00:34:30,976
Speaker 4: cross talk and whatnot. But it's fifteen minutes right, and

701
00:34:31,216 --> 00:34:36,816
Speaker 4: it's kind of a formality. But because stamina, enthusiasm, knowledge

702
00:34:36,856 --> 00:34:42,416
Speaker 4: of the game are all priorities for red Zone and stamina,

703
00:34:42,456 --> 00:34:45,576
Speaker 4: maybe being number one is a seven hour then commercial

704
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:52,216
Speaker 4: free channel. They the audition was five hours long.

705
00:34:52,336 --> 00:34:53,136
Speaker 5: Oh oh my god.

706
00:34:53,216 --> 00:34:55,976
Speaker 4: And this was like, this was like June of two

707
00:34:56,056 --> 00:34:58,416
Speaker 4: thousand and nine, right before we came out, so it's

708
00:34:58,456 --> 00:35:01,656
Speaker 4: the middle of the summer. There's no there are no

709
00:35:01,736 --> 00:35:03,736
Speaker 4: games going on or anything. So what they did is

710
00:35:03,736 --> 00:35:06,256
Speaker 4: they put me into a studio in Los Angeles at

711
00:35:06,336 --> 00:35:11,736
Speaker 4: NFL Media headquarters, and they took a random week from

712
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:15,616
Speaker 4: the season before whatever, week seven of two thousand and eight,

713
00:35:16,496 --> 00:35:19,496
Speaker 4: and this was they actually had videotapes, and they took

714
00:35:19,856 --> 00:35:24,016
Speaker 4: eight videotapes of eight different games, queued them all up

715
00:35:24,096 --> 00:35:30,456
Speaker 4: to the kickoff, pressed play simultaneously, and said talk wow.

716
00:35:31,336 --> 00:35:34,576
Speaker 4: And we rolled through. And I had a producer that

717
00:35:34,696 --> 00:35:37,536
Speaker 4: was in my year trying to like because they had

718
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:41,576
Speaker 4: to audition an entire television staff, right, a producer, a director,

719
00:35:41,656 --> 00:35:46,576
Speaker 4: technical director, audio graphics, everything, And I'm going through it

720
00:35:46,616 --> 00:35:49,616
Speaker 4: as best I can. You have no computers though, because

721
00:35:49,656 --> 00:35:52,176
Speaker 4: there's not like live box scores that you can follow

722
00:35:52,176 --> 00:35:55,096
Speaker 4: along to say oh, okay, Randy Moss has one hundred

723
00:35:55,136 --> 00:35:57,815
Speaker 4: yards receiving now at the half or something like that. Right,

724
00:35:57,976 --> 00:35:59,736
Speaker 4: So you're doing it. You're flying by the seat of

725
00:35:59,776 --> 00:36:03,816
Speaker 4: your pants. I was wearing a suit. I remember I sweated.

726
00:36:04,176 --> 00:36:07,416
Speaker 4: I'm not a big sweater, but I sweated right through

727
00:36:07,816 --> 00:36:11,016
Speaker 4: this suit. I mean flop sweat. And I'm thinking, in

728
00:36:11,096 --> 00:36:15,936
Speaker 4: my head, just keep going, be enthusiastic, make the transitions,

729
00:36:16,176 --> 00:36:17,816
Speaker 4: you know, nail as many things as you can. And

730
00:36:17,816 --> 00:36:22,456
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I'm either winning this job or I am

731
00:36:22,816 --> 00:36:26,776
Speaker 4: ruining my career right here. There's like almost no, almost

732
00:36:26,776 --> 00:36:29,656
Speaker 4: no in between. So the audition, we went through a

733
00:36:29,656 --> 00:36:31,936
Speaker 4: whole set of games three hours. Then they put in

734
00:36:31,976 --> 00:36:35,376
Speaker 4: another like four games and took us to like halftime

735
00:36:35,416 --> 00:36:38,696
Speaker 4: of those games. It was a five hour audition. Finished up.

736
00:36:39,696 --> 00:36:42,016
Speaker 4: I didn't have a real good vibe about it, one

737
00:36:42,056 --> 00:36:44,976
Speaker 4: way or another. I knew I did my best. But

738
00:36:46,136 --> 00:36:50,216
Speaker 4: about two weeks later, the executive producer of NFL Network

739
00:36:50,296 --> 00:36:54,136
Speaker 4: gives me a call and I said, I said, hey, Eric,

740
00:36:54,176 --> 00:36:56,136
Speaker 4: how you doing. He's like, oh, good, Scott good, He goes.

741
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:58,056
Speaker 4: I just want to let you know we want to

742
00:36:58,176 --> 00:36:59,976
Speaker 4: name you the host of NFL Red.

743
00:36:59,896 --> 00:37:00,656
Speaker 5: Zone let's go.

744
00:37:00,736 --> 00:37:03,776
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, man, that is awesome. I said, so,

745
00:37:03,776 --> 00:37:06,296
Speaker 4: so you watched the five hour audits right that you

746
00:37:06,376 --> 00:37:09,456
Speaker 4: recorded it for him and whatnot? He goes, Scott, I

747
00:37:09,536 --> 00:37:12,216
Speaker 4: watched the first fifteen minutes of it, and I knew

748
00:37:12,216 --> 00:37:15,296
Speaker 4: you were my guy. You bring that energy, that passion,

749
00:37:15,496 --> 00:37:17,936
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh, Eric, that is great. That's awesome.

750
00:37:17,936 --> 00:37:20,096
Speaker 4: And in my brain I'm thinking, then, why in the

751
00:37:21,896 --> 00:37:26,656
Speaker 4: five hours ruin a perfectly good suit and stress like

752
00:37:26,736 --> 00:37:29,776
Speaker 4: I never have? But all's well, that ends well, and

753
00:37:30,016 --> 00:37:31,936
Speaker 4: here we are seventeen seasons later.

754
00:37:32,136 --> 00:37:35,096
Speaker 1: That's a great story. Two final questions for you, Scott,

755
00:37:35,136 --> 00:37:37,296
Speaker 1: I'll go first. Living in Nashville, I have a lot

756
00:37:37,336 --> 00:37:40,736
Speaker 1: of friends that are artist singers or lead singers of bands,

757
00:37:41,016 --> 00:37:44,136
Speaker 1: and so their whole week is revolving around really the

758
00:37:44,176 --> 00:37:46,096
Speaker 1: two shows that they're going to do on a Friday

759
00:37:46,096 --> 00:37:48,656
Speaker 1: and Saturday night, and so a lot of people will think, Wow,

760
00:37:48,776 --> 00:37:51,736
Speaker 1: they're super famous. They probably party all night the night

761
00:37:51,776 --> 00:37:53,616
Speaker 1: before a show or the night after a show before

762
00:37:53,656 --> 00:37:55,936
Speaker 1: another show, and they're actually going to bed at eight,

763
00:37:56,336 --> 00:37:59,256
Speaker 1: like they're having to. Their instrument is so delicate that

764
00:37:59,296 --> 00:38:01,456
Speaker 1: they're having to treat it as such. And I wonder

765
00:38:01,496 --> 00:38:03,296
Speaker 1: if you a bit live with that as well, where

766
00:38:03,456 --> 00:38:05,776
Speaker 1: you're famous Scott Hands and everybody loves you. Got high energy,

767
00:38:05,776 --> 00:38:07,616
Speaker 1: but also you got to shut it down so you

768
00:38:07,656 --> 00:38:08,656
Speaker 1: can have it right.

769
00:38:11,376 --> 00:38:16,296
Speaker 4: So on. Obviously we're on on Sunday, on a Saturday,

770
00:38:16,376 --> 00:38:20,456
Speaker 4: on a football Saturday. Prior to Red Zone, I might

771
00:38:20,576 --> 00:38:23,496
Speaker 4: see I'm a bachelor, I live alone, no kids, So

772
00:38:23,656 --> 00:38:27,256
Speaker 4: I'm just here and I'm researching. I'm grinding on every

773
00:38:27,496 --> 00:38:32,696
Speaker 4: fat stat storyline, injury updates, quotes that came out during

774
00:38:32,736 --> 00:38:36,696
Speaker 4: the week to prepare for all eleven, twelve, thirteen games

775
00:38:36,696 --> 00:38:40,216
Speaker 4: that I have on Red Zone. The only live human

776
00:38:40,256 --> 00:38:44,976
Speaker 4: beings that I see on a football Saturday are the

777
00:38:45,056 --> 00:38:50,496
Speaker 4: door dash or postmason, every guy who brings me my food.

778
00:38:50,296 --> 00:38:52,736
Speaker 4: And and for those who are watching not listening to

779
00:38:52,776 --> 00:38:55,176
Speaker 4: the podcast, I showed you the media wall. I put

780
00:38:55,256 --> 00:39:00,056
Speaker 4: up the best five five college games on my media wall,

781
00:39:00,296 --> 00:39:02,376
Speaker 4: and that's way behind me. Those are like sixty inch

782
00:39:02,456 --> 00:39:05,335
Speaker 4: TVs over there. But I put on the best five

783
00:39:05,456 --> 00:39:08,256
Speaker 4: college games. I sit on my computer right over here,

784
00:39:08,776 --> 00:39:11,416
Speaker 4: look through all my notes on the pros, watch the

785
00:39:11,456 --> 00:39:14,536
Speaker 4: next generation of college coming up, and it's a it's

786
00:39:14,536 --> 00:39:17,176
Speaker 4: a beautiful football weekend for me. But no, I can't

787
00:39:17,216 --> 00:39:20,176
Speaker 4: even tell you the last time I went out. I

788
00:39:20,256 --> 00:39:22,976
Speaker 4: went out and did something on a Saturday. One of

789
00:39:23,056 --> 00:39:28,216
Speaker 4: my best friends moved his wedding to a Thursday so

790
00:39:28,296 --> 00:39:30,376
Speaker 4: I could be best man at his wedding because they want.

791
00:39:32,296 --> 00:39:33,336
Speaker 5: True story. That's good.

792
00:39:33,456 --> 00:39:37,856
Speaker 4: Darren Kucherira shout out, Darrenais shut out.

793
00:39:38,616 --> 00:39:41,256
Speaker 2: My last one would be you know you said that

794
00:39:41,736 --> 00:39:45,536
Speaker 2: you never feel completely settled. Is there a sporting event

795
00:39:45,616 --> 00:39:48,576
Speaker 2: that you at some point would want to cover or

796
00:39:48,656 --> 00:39:50,736
Speaker 2: an avenue in which you'd want to go with your

797
00:39:50,736 --> 00:39:53,656
Speaker 2: career that is just on your bucket list?

798
00:39:55,016 --> 00:39:57,896
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've Matt, I've done a lot of things. I've

799
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:00,816
Speaker 4: been very blessed I have been. I have covered obviously

800
00:40:00,976 --> 00:40:05,176
Speaker 4: multiple multiple Super Bowls, something like seventeen Super Bowls. I've

801
00:40:05,176 --> 00:40:08,296
Speaker 4: been the College football National Championship. I've been to multiple

802
00:40:08,336 --> 00:40:18,496
Speaker 4: final fours in college basketball, NBA finals, NHL Finals. About

803
00:40:18,776 --> 00:40:21,856
Speaker 4: about the only stuff I've never covered, I've done the Olympics.

804
00:40:21,896 --> 00:40:25,216
Speaker 4: Now you may have heard that gold Zone has begun

805
00:40:25,816 --> 00:40:28,776
Speaker 4: for the Olympics, which is red zone for the Olympics.

806
00:40:28,776 --> 00:40:31,176
Speaker 4: That's a lot of fun. I'll be doing the Milan

807
00:40:31,336 --> 00:40:36,816
Speaker 4: Courtina Winter games coming up here in February, a World

808
00:40:36,896 --> 00:40:43,976
Speaker 4: Heavyweight Championship, Fight Boxing or UFC. Even that, there is

809
00:40:44,096 --> 00:40:47,656
Speaker 4: buzz like like nothing else. I would like to do that,

810
00:40:48,136 --> 00:40:51,256
Speaker 4: cover that and be ringside and maybe even call it.

811
00:40:51,336 --> 00:40:55,216
Speaker 4: If you know, it's not my entirely my world. I've

812
00:40:55,216 --> 00:41:00,296
Speaker 4: done some boxing before. That would be something. Or well,

813
00:41:00,336 --> 00:41:02,336
Speaker 4: the World Cup is coming to the United States. I've

814
00:41:02,336 --> 00:41:04,576
Speaker 4: never been to a World Cup match, but a World

815
00:41:04,656 --> 00:41:08,376
Speaker 4: Cup final depending on what countries make it to the final.

816
00:41:08,416 --> 00:41:13,016
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's otherworldly. And I love the juice man.

817
00:41:13,056 --> 00:41:16,496
Speaker 4: You could tell that. I love the action. You could

818
00:41:16,496 --> 00:41:18,336
Speaker 4: tell me in the in the in the in the

819
00:41:18,336 --> 00:41:21,536
Speaker 4: International Tiddley Wings competition, and if you can tell me

820
00:41:21,816 --> 00:41:24,696
Speaker 4: why it's dramatic, I will I will be all in.

821
00:41:24,896 --> 00:41:28,816
Speaker 4: I've been to the Grand Sumo tournament in Japan. I

822
00:41:29,056 --> 00:41:31,696
Speaker 4: was happy to be in Japan. When the tournament was

823
00:41:31,736 --> 00:41:33,656
Speaker 4: going on, I talked to the concierge at the hotel,

824
00:41:33,696 --> 00:41:35,816
Speaker 4: I said, can you give me a ticket to the ground.

825
00:41:35,856 --> 00:41:38,456
Speaker 4: I want to see it. I didn't understand anything that

826
00:41:38,536 --> 00:41:40,856
Speaker 4: was going on, but I was like, I was right there.

827
00:41:40,896 --> 00:41:43,136
Speaker 4: You take off your shoes, you sit, you sit in

828
00:41:43,816 --> 00:41:47,216
Speaker 4: uh like cross legged in In they don't have like

829
00:41:47,256 --> 00:41:50,736
Speaker 4: regular seats in the ancient arena that they held it in.

830
00:41:50,976 --> 00:41:53,896
Speaker 4: You go to the concession stand, everything is in Japanese

831
00:41:53,976 --> 00:41:57,576
Speaker 4: and there's like the head of a fish, like a

832
00:41:57,576 --> 00:42:00,256
Speaker 4: fish instead of a picture of a hot dog and popcorn,

833
00:42:00,496 --> 00:42:02,696
Speaker 4: and you're like, yeah, I don't want that, I'll do

834
00:42:02,816 --> 00:42:06,496
Speaker 4: one of those. So there is almost any major sporting

835
00:42:06,536 --> 00:42:10,016
Speaker 4: event in the world that people find interesting. I could

836
00:42:10,016 --> 00:42:11,176
Speaker 4: probably find interesting.

837
00:42:11,736 --> 00:42:14,176
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate the time. I think again, you and

838
00:42:14,216 --> 00:42:16,576
Speaker 1: I have what I would call a parasocial relationship, I think,

839
00:42:16,896 --> 00:42:19,336
Speaker 1: where I know the relationship but you do not. So

840
00:42:19,696 --> 00:42:24,616
Speaker 1: I just really appreciate fair enough we're there, really appreciate

841
00:42:24,656 --> 00:42:28,296
Speaker 1: the effort and the enthusiasm and listen, I think, Matt

842
00:42:28,336 --> 00:42:31,496
Speaker 1: and I love how you do it and the way

843
00:42:31,536 --> 00:42:33,336
Speaker 1: you do it, and you have such a positive attitude.

844
00:42:33,536 --> 00:42:35,856
Speaker 1: You're an inspiration to mister Hanson. So thank you very

845
00:42:35,936 --> 00:42:38,336
Speaker 1: much for your time, and have a great weekend and

846
00:42:38,416 --> 00:42:39,976
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll see u sometime soon.

847
00:42:40,136 --> 00:42:41,456
Speaker 5: I'll see you on Sunday, Scott.

848
00:42:42,016 --> 00:42:45,456
Speaker 4: All right, see Scott, you see it's Sunday boys.

849
00:42:45,616 --> 00:43:02,776
Speaker 1: That was awesome, Thank you, Scott. It's time for the

850
00:43:02,816 --> 00:43:06,816
Speaker 1: week in preview presented by DraftKings. From first touchdown score

851
00:43:06,856 --> 00:43:09,696
Speaker 1: to anytime touchdown props or the thrill of live in

852
00:43:09,776 --> 00:43:13,296
Speaker 1: game betting, every snap is loaded with opportunity. Okay, let's

853
00:43:13,296 --> 00:43:17,176
Speaker 1: look at a few matchups from week seventeen coming up.

854
00:43:17,656 --> 00:43:20,896
Speaker 1: Why don't we start with the Buccaneers at Dolphins. The

855
00:43:20,896 --> 00:43:23,016
Speaker 1: Bucks got to win this game to stay in so

856
00:43:23,296 --> 00:43:26,416
Speaker 1: that next week's game is a do or die as

857
00:43:26,416 --> 00:43:28,736
Speaker 1: they are trying to win the NFC South against the

858
00:43:28,776 --> 00:43:31,696
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. So I'm putting this on the list because

859
00:43:31,736 --> 00:43:34,096
Speaker 1: if the Bucks can win this game, then we're looking

860
00:43:34,136 --> 00:43:37,536
Speaker 1: at that final four seed in the NFC going to

861
00:43:37,536 --> 00:43:40,576
Speaker 1: the winner. But I am going with the Buccaneers. They

862
00:43:40,576 --> 00:43:42,815
Speaker 1: need to win it. I don't know if Todd Bowles

863
00:43:42,896 --> 00:43:45,856
Speaker 1: is a good coach. I'm leaning on no Todd Bowles

864
00:43:45,856 --> 00:43:47,536
Speaker 1: a heck of the first half of the season coach.

865
00:43:47,936 --> 00:43:50,896
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Bucks. And the last I

866
00:43:51,016 --> 00:43:55,656
Speaker 1: checked it was Bucks minus five. I'm taking the Bucks

867
00:43:55,696 --> 00:43:59,936
Speaker 1: minus five. Eagles at Bills. We're looking at man a

868
00:44:00,056 --> 00:44:04,816
Speaker 1: really late in season matchup between the AFC and the

869
00:44:04,936 --> 00:44:08,376
Speaker 1: NFC where the Bills need Josh Allen to pretty much

870
00:44:08,616 --> 00:44:11,056
Speaker 1: do it all and the Eagles are just trying to

871
00:44:11,096 --> 00:44:14,576
Speaker 1: find themselves pretty much. Both teams already in the playoffs.

872
00:44:15,216 --> 00:44:18,776
Speaker 1: It is in Buffalo. I'm going with the Bills winning

873
00:44:18,776 --> 00:44:20,616
Speaker 1: that one and the Bears in the forty nine Ers.

874
00:44:20,776 --> 00:44:22,256
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers need to win. Bears need to win

875
00:44:22,336 --> 00:44:23,736
Speaker 1: for them both to have a shot at that number

876
00:44:23,776 --> 00:44:27,176
Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC. Seahawks still hold complete control

877
00:44:27,296 --> 00:44:29,856
Speaker 1: of that number one seed, but both these teams need

878
00:44:29,896 --> 00:44:31,456
Speaker 1: to win to have a shot at the number one seed.

879
00:44:31,656 --> 00:44:33,656
Speaker 1: I'm going with the forty nine Ers over the Bears.

880
00:44:34,336 --> 00:44:37,176
Speaker 1: That was the Week in Preview presented by DraftKings. When

Speaker 2: We're gonna be here. We're gonna be here for Christmas,

901
00:45:27,816 --> 00:45:31,856
Speaker 2: and then I think we might be leaving and going

902
00:45:31,896 --> 00:45:33,176
Speaker 2: up to Montana for a little bit.

903
00:45:33,256 --> 00:45:36,016
Speaker 1: Oh from cold to colder California.

904
00:45:36,416 --> 00:45:39,976
Speaker 2: No, we did that for Thanksgiving, so this time go around,

905
00:45:40,016 --> 00:45:41,856
Speaker 2: we're gonna get real cold. It's probably gonna be like

906
00:45:42,016 --> 00:45:44,696
Speaker 2: negatives up there where you're not even gonna leave the house.

907
00:45:45,096 --> 00:45:47,335
Speaker 5: But there's gonna be a little skiing, a little fun,

908
00:45:47,376 --> 00:45:48,776
Speaker 5: you know, just.

909
00:45:48,296 --> 00:45:51,696
Speaker 2: Just fun winter stuff. I've never been skiing, oh did.

910
00:45:51,816 --> 00:45:54,296
Speaker 2: I went for the first time just a few years ago.

911
00:45:55,376 --> 00:45:57,656
Speaker 2: And I did a little snowboarding when I was younger,

912
00:45:58,576 --> 00:46:01,216
Speaker 2: but nothing. I'm a novice at best.

913
00:46:01,736 --> 00:46:02,856
Speaker 5: So I go out to this hill.

914
00:46:03,216 --> 00:46:06,336
Speaker 2: The kids are getting it's their first, so they get

915
00:46:06,336 --> 00:46:07,936
Speaker 2: a lesson. I come out on like, honey, I'm going

916
00:46:07,976 --> 00:46:10,656
Speaker 2: to be snowboarding. She's like, you're a lozard. Look at you.

917
00:46:10,816 --> 00:46:12,936
Speaker 2: I mean you're on a snowboard. Every person there is

918
00:46:12,976 --> 00:46:15,656
Speaker 2: on skis. So I was like, fine, I'll try skiing.

919
00:46:15,696 --> 00:46:18,416
Speaker 2: So I go get this little lesson. Skiing is the

920
00:46:18,456 --> 00:46:22,096
Speaker 2: greatest thing ever fun. Oh there's nothing like going down

921
00:46:22,136 --> 00:46:24,016
Speaker 2: a mountain with the wind in your hair and little

922
00:46:24,056 --> 00:46:27,856
Speaker 2: snowflakes hitting you and you can control the skis. You've

923
00:46:27,856 --> 00:46:30,656
Speaker 2: got these poles, there's no issues with balance.

924
00:46:31,056 --> 00:46:31,616
Speaker 5: Amazing.

925
00:46:31,856 --> 00:46:33,976
Speaker 1: Did you not ski while you were playing because you

926
00:46:33,976 --> 00:46:34,376
Speaker 1: were playing?

927
00:46:34,416 --> 00:46:36,416
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I thought if I did anything, I'd have

928
00:46:36,416 --> 00:46:37,376
Speaker 2: to give him all the money back.

929
00:46:37,456 --> 00:46:38,136
Speaker 5: That would be awful.

930
00:46:38,176 --> 00:46:39,576
Speaker 2: And it was kind of in your contract if you
