00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't think everybody got into it because it's such

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: a weird Friday. We had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day. I

00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: see people back to work. We're back to work, guys.

Speaker 4: Right?

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: You know, I thought this one might be a topic

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: for today. The worst boss in the world is the

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: one that makes you come back, like for Black Friday,

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: or like the day that is very clearly should just

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 3: be the five day weekend and makes you come back anyway.

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,440

00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: right now, thank you. We're hanging out with Isaac loohin Crown,

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: who's at the news desk. Jason Stewart is here. Hello Jason,

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Hello with it Buddy, Iowa Sam as well. No have

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: you heard about trainer games? Add this year Binge list

26
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: ten athletes go head to head for the chance to

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: win an iFIT trainer contract, where two hundred and fifty

28
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: thousand dollars trainer games on Prime Video. January eighth, watched

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: the trailer on trailergames dot com. He is erin Torres.

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Byer. We are all in for Covino and

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Rich Aaron was in yesterday, as was Iowa Sam. And

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: you guys were on during the NFL triple header and

33
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: the NBA quintupleheader on Christmas Day with the NBA and

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: NFL going head to head. Now it was a Thursday.

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: This wasn't out of the ordinary. Last year was a

36
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: blatant effort by the NFL to say say, you don't

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: think we can play football on a Wednesday, watch we're

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: going to and they did. This year. They expanded it

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: to three games. Because of the Thursday schedule, you were

40
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: allowed to do so. So the NFL on the streaming

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: app apps of Netflix and Amazon Prime went up against

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: the NBA, which was seen on ABC and ESPN throughout

43
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the entire day, so this had been a topic of

44
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: conversation not only here at Fox Sports Radio, but also

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: apparently on ESPN's Charles Barkley had this to say about

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the NFL's attempted takeover of Christmas.

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 2: The NFL got greed instarted and Christmas game. We used

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: to have this day to ourself. But you know, Roger

49
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: Goodell and them pigs at the NFL always wanted to

50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: hog every day of the week.

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Now they can't play.

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: No the NBA, dude. I saw those guys yesterday on

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: the ESPN talk about it, and they're right. Christmas is

54
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: an NBA day.

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: Christmas is an en you cringe. I see a little

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: facial from Aaron Torres that may not have been audible.

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: No, I listen. I think Christmas over the last couple

58
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: of years, I do think it had become an NFL day.

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: I'll be quick.

60
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: I remember a couple of years ago, I think it

61
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: was twenty twenty two, there was a It was basically

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: the second year that they were even Christmas fell on

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: a Saturday, Okay, And I remember the Packers when Aaron

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: Rodgers was still Super Bowl or a League MVP Aaron

65
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Rodgers were playing the Browns Baker Mayfield, and I remember

66
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: being like, oh, everyone on my timeline is talking Packers, Browns,

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: not anything NBA. So I don't know that it's an

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: NBA day, but I will say yesterday, I think the

69
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: combination of bad games being on Netflix and and I

70
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: have been a vocal critic of the NBA, some pretty

71
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 3: good NBA basketball headlined by the best team in the

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: NBA playing the one team that may have their number,

73
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: it did feel like the pendulum swung a little bit.

74
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: But I don't know that necessarily it means that it's

75
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: a definitive NBA day overall.

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Spurs and Thunder did it.

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the Warriors and Mavericks where

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis got injured again, or the Lakers no show

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: against the Houston Rockets. But I do know that the

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: presence of the streaming services was an issue or would

81
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: be an issue, especially when you're going to places that

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: may not traditionally have those streaming services. And when I'm

83
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: talking about honestly, our gramma and grandpa's house, going to

84
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: your aunt and uncle's house. So in those words, the

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: NBA may have won because if you did want to

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: watch sports, you could put that on TV, but you

87
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: may not have the access unless you were in Detroit

88
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: or Minnesota of seeing it on your local channel where

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: you had to have the streaming service. So I think ultimately,

90
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: in if I'm being honest, my watching yesterday, if I

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: broke it down, was eighty five percent NFL. Okay, fifteen

92
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: percent NBA. And it's difficult. You're you're in studio, so

93
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: I know you had the Netflix game up, you had

94
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the NBA games on TV. I'm curious about around the room.

95
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Jason Sam was at work as well. Did you what

96
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: did you consume on Christmas Day?

97
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: I have the duo thing. Okay, so I have my

98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: laptop as a kind of up near my TV for

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: anything streaming, and then I had the ESPN on the

100
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: TV and they were both. They were just both wallpaper

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: yesterday as I was doing Christmas stuff, namely a jigsaw puzzle,

102
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: and we could spend a segment on jigsaw puzzles if

103
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: you want. That's very exciting.

104
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: I love them.

105
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 4: But I will say this, can I can I talk

106
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: to what Barkley saying? Yeah, because in twenty sixteen remember

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban, This was what it reminded me of said

108
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: of this of the NFL, that pigs get fat, get slaughtered.

109
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: So it kind of made me think of that. And

110
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: I also think it is BS that they took Christmas.

111
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: I think it's BS that they monopolized the first round

112
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: of the college football Playoff. You think that these schedules

113
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 4: have been out a long time in the NFL is

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: knowingly stepping on these things. It's like when the Walmart

115
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 4: moves into the neighborhood of all the mom and pop shops.

116
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: It's like you are taking dollars away from those people

117
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: that have kind of been there. And I fully agree

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: with the sentiment here by Barklay.

119
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that the NFL has taken over, but

120
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: for the NBA to feel like that they are the victims.

121
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: I bring up Major League Baseball. If there was a

122
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: time when the NFL would not schedule opposite Game one

123
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: of the World Series, and Game one of the World

124
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Series would be on a Sunday night, in the NFL

125
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: is like, all right, we're not going to have a

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: Sunday night football game. It's like thirty years ago or

127
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: so ago. Then the NBA or the NFL is like, okay, well,

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: I think we can maybe win the ratings war. Let's

129
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: just schedule a game anyway. And now Major League Baseball

130
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: is having their series end on like Fridays or start

131
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: on Fridays, trying to do everything they can to avoid

132
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: what the NFL schedule is. I understand that the NBA

133
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: is frustrated with it, but when you play three games

134
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: on a Thursday on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas falls on

135
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: a Thursday, I fully expect the NFL to take advantage

136
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: of it. And if Netflix wants to pay MUCHO bucks

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: to them, the NBA would have done the same if

138
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: their product was just as good.

139
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick. And I know we want to get

140
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: to Isaac for some thoughts, so I agree. So I

141
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: actually am more on your side of it's good business.

142
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: It makes sense. I thought Jay Stu said something very

143
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: interesting though of it was all background wallpaper for Christmas stuff.

144
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: And I do think this is maybe the only day

145
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: of the year because I think there's something too like

146
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving has had football forever. It's baked into the cake

147
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: of everyone's gonna sit in the one room watching the

148
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: Lions while Grandma makes the Turkey on Thanksgiving. Then we're

149
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: all gonna eat during the Cowboys game, and then we'll

150
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 3: go back for seconds during the late game whatever. I

151
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 3: do feel like Christmas is a little bit different of

152
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: maybe the one day of the year where it's just like,

153
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: I just think Christmas is such a different holiday. A

154
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: lot of people are going to multiple places. Grandma's house

155
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: on this side, Grandma's house on the other side. You're

156
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: opening gifts, You're maybe making a gift as far as

157
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: you know, constructing a toy or whatever.

158
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: I just I'm not saying the NFL shouldn't play, but

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: it's the one day a year that it feels like

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 3: a little bit of overkill where it's just like, okay,

162
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: like I know my fantasy league's on the line, I

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 3: know this, and I just can't pay attention. There's too

164
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: much else going on. As you do you find that

165
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: at all or was that not an issue at all

166
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: for you yesterday?

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't issue to me because I the NFL won.

168
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: In my household, they I turned on the end of

169
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: Thunder and Spurs because I also think that fit nicely.

170
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: I think maybe in the transition between maybe it was

171
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: between the y and then the Lions vikings hadn't started yet,

172
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: so it turned over to see that. But at no

173
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: point was I going back and forth because while it

174
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: wasn't wallpaper, it was just going to stay on the

175
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: NFL game for me. And how I feel that people

176
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: view this is it's not that if they didn't have

177
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: football on that the NBA would be on. That's the

178
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: part where I would go back to Charles and say,

179
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: there are households that just wouldn't have the TV on

180
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: period unless football was on. So it's not like there's

181
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: a plane black and white or this. Many people watched

182
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: football instead of basketball. I think that the NFL had

183
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: viewers who would only watch the NFL and if it

184
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: wasn't on, then for Christmas wouldn't even put the NBA on.

185
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: So whether the NFL was there or not wouldn't affect

186
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: those people who ended up watching the NBA because those

187
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: people weren't gonna watch any of the five games.

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: Let me let me ask you this though, but do

189
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: you think there is a sports fan that just wants

190
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: to have a game on? So let me give you an example.

191
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: Christmas eve Day, it was I was off. I know

192
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: you guys were busting your butt here in the studio,

193
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: but it was like tangible of there's only one game

194
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: on and it doesn't come on until eight pm Eastern.

195
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: It was the Hawaii Bowl. Where do you think there

196
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: is like I know there are certain people that just

197
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't have anything on. I do think there is like

198
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: the very casual sports fan that's just like, if there's

199
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: a game on, I will have it on in the

200
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: background because I know that like for me pre pre

201
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: NFL kind of trying to take over Thanks or Chris

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: miss Day, it would be like, Okay, well, I don't

203
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: really have a lot of windows in my life this

204
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 3: time of year where I can just watch an NBA

205
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: game and know I've been hearing about Cooper Flag or

206
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: I've been hearing about Wemby or whatever. And I do

207
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: think there are a fair amount of people that maybe

208
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: they want to be sitting there with like a notepad

209
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: in hand, like okay, in the third quarter, Wemby did this.

210
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: I do think I would push back a little bit.

211
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: I think there's a bigger audience than you think that

212
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 3: would have the NBA on if there was absolute zero NFL.

213
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Have you considered this audience the audience of married men

214
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: who would sacrifice the Christmas viewing to save their favor,

215
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: say for this Saturday.

216
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 3: Well and really quick to that point. I think that's

217
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: part of the Christmas issue for the NFL is. I

218
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of people that are, like I

219
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: push a lot of boundaries being a sports fan. I

220
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: get every Sunday, I get Thanksgiving Day, New Year's IM

221
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: probably gonna be on the couch at college football. Christmas

222
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: is the one that I got to sacrifice. And again,

223
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: you know, we'll see what the numbers are for the NFL,

224
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 3: and I'm sure they're gonna be great. But I do

225
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: think there is a I do think that is a

226
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: percentage of people that I don't know that the NFL

227
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: accounts for. You know, I think the NFL has become

228
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: such appointment viewing that I don't know if the NFL

229
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: fully understands that, like, Christmas Day is kind of a

230
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 3: line that a lot of guys, a lot of girls,

231
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: a lot of whoever, they just don't want to cross,

232
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 3: you know.

233
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Lea Ktla yule Log won over the first hour of

234
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: calvs Nicks in my house on Christmas Day because I

235
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: said cowboys and Commanders are starting at ten. We had

236
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: just opened gifts an hour earlier. So the family's up,

237
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: my son's playing with his new toys. Do I want to,

238
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, a bang? Jalen Brownson. I know Mike Green

239
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: wasn't doing the next Cavaliers game, but it felt at

240
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: that time for where we were on the West coast,

241
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: that'll just throw a you look at that burning on

242
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: the TV with some nice Christmas.

243
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: Carols, And I will say this, I don't know if

244
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: it makes me a bad radio host, but was on

245
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: air for four hours here got home and I was

246
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: the opposite, but the same, but the opposite just time wise.

247
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: Of yeah, I could have put on that Chiefs Broncos game,

248
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: but we could also watch home alone, or we could

249
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: also watch ELK, or we could all. And it's like,

250
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: at what point is my wife allowed to be a

251
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: wife and not have to sacrifice everything for my career

252
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: and my job of sports. And so it was the

253
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: same thing, just on an opposite time.

254
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: Did yulog getting any opportunity? You know what the julog is?

255
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: So it's a picture of a fireplace, That's what it is.

256
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: I figured that's just the fireplace. And then it's Christmas music. Yeah, However,

257
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: what it does put you in the Christmas spirit. It does,

258
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: And if you don't have a fireplace in your home,

259
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it signifies the fire. So it's very festive with the music.

260
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: Jason Stewart, you're familiar with the Yule.

261
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: Had not know. I've lived in this town what fifty years.

262
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: I didn't know about this. I don't know when they

263
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: started it. I just had to google it. And then

264
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: they simulcast our sister station one h three point five

265
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 4: the coast and their Christmas music.

266
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: Yah. Yes, And my wife told me she goes when

267
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: the local radio station goes to break, KTLA will just

268
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: cover it up with their own Christmas music. Isaac, did

269
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: you ever watch the eulog on KTLA and locally? Oh?

270
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: Here we go watching it right now, thank you very soon.

271
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Yes.

272
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: When Jay Stu said they simulcast, I was like, please

273
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: tell me they don't just play a log sound on

274
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: the radio. So now I know it's.

275
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: The although I'll be honest, I did not know that

276
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 5: it was televised on TV until right now. I knew

277
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: all about the ulog, but I didn't know that station's

278
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: actually televised.

279
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: Honestly, maybe like six hours of eulog Iowa Sam.

280
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: I only knew about the eulog or the burning fire

281
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: in the fireplace, Like you can watch five straight hours

282
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: of a fire burning in a fireplace on YouTube.

283
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just have it.

284
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 6: Like if you have like a projector a big screen

285
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 6: or some kind of monitor, you can just put that

286
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 6: on there and it it is.

287
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: It's everything but the warmth. It makes it feel like

288
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: there's a fire or even without the heat, the sound

289
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: and the visual yes, yeah, and the and the smell

290
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: of it. But that that can be an option. I

291
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: know we veered away from NBA and NFL, but it

292
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: goes to the point of the options that that you

293
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: would go to from the NBA. That's I just think.

294
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: I I understand someone from the NBA being mad about this, sure,

295
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: but the and and this was the standout day for

296
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: the NBA. You're not going to be mad that there

297
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: may be an NFL game conflicting with NBA Cup Action.

298
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: In fact, I think the NBA Cup Action avoids the

299
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: NFL as much as they can. I think it's on

300
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: Tuesdays and Fridays, So I I understand where he's coming from.

301
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I just think it's a it's a lost and to

302
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: think that you would completely dominate, And that's what it's

303
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: all about. It's not an NBA thing. It's more of

304
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: an ESPN and ratings thing than anything else. That's what

305
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: it comes down to. So that's why I just have

306
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: very little sympathy and empathy for the NBA.

307
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: So I think two things are true. I agree with you,

308
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: I actually don't have sympathy for the NBA. I think

309
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: the fact that you actively put on a TV channel

310
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: with a log burning means that maybe Christmas Day is

311
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: not the land grab for sports fans that we thought of.

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've I didn't like it. We grew up.

313
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: There was the Blue Gray game that I think was

314
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: played on Christmas Day, if Isaac can confirm that there

315
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: was that game, and there was, really I don't remember

316
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: much else. I didn't think the NBA had had five

317
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: games that day.

318
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: I seem to remember the Aloha Bowl for some reason.

319
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that would have been about it. But I grew

320
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: up in a time where it wasn't sports programming even

321
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: being an option. It was like almost like a day

322
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: of break from it. When I've told this story before,

323
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: but when I came out to Los Angeles. I didn't

324
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: realize on how much the Laker games actually meant to

325
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: people here on Christmas Day and how much of a

326
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: tradition it was, so I understand. So it's probably the

327
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: same thing in New York because the Knicks seemed to

328
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: play a lot of the early games, whether it be

329
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: the Knicks or the Sixers, or even the Knicks and

330
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Sixers playing each other, like those sort of teams and

331
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: those sort of brands made a home on Christmas Day.

332
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: So that would be the Lions Cowboys equivalent of Thanksgiving Day.

333
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: I just think as an overall win for the network,

334
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: it's not going to be where the Cowboys and Lions

335
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: are setting broadcasting records on Thanksgiving. I don't think that

336
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: that's going to be the case for the NBA. Maybe

337
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: it was maybe Christmas Day was their highest rated day

338
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: of the year, and so they're frustrated that they don't

339
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: get that opportunity.

340
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 3: To put a bow on that point about not much

341
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: going on Christmas Day. I saw our buddy Todd Furman yesterday.

342
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: I basically say, and this cut is kind of more

343
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: to your point. He said, the NBA never getting Christmas

344
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: Day back, And I'm paraphrasing Todd's tweet, but he basically said,

345
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 3: maybe the NBA should just consider Christmas Eve. And I

346
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: was like, to your point, can we get one day

347
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: where again, like it was nice to have the Bowl

348
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 3: game on in the background while because you know us

349
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: here on the East Coast, every or West Coast, everybody's

350
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: getting ready to go out to do whatever on Christmas Eve.

351
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 3: I don't need five NBA games on Christmas Eve. Just

352
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 3: let us let's live.

353
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: The NFL last year had the Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, and

354
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: Texans play on Saturday before Christmas so they could have

355
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: a week transitioning to play on Wednesday. Like that's the

356
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: lengths that they went to, is to take those four

357
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: teams because you needed those teams. You couldn't have a

358
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: team play on Sunday play again on Wednesday. Team had

359
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: to play on Saturday, and you only had two windows.

360
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: So they scheduled it so those two teams would play

361
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: on Saturday and then they'd mix them up and then

362
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: you'd have another two matchups with those teams on Wednesday.

363
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: That's how they made it work last year with Christmas.

364
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: Jason Stewart so.

365
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: Given an education about the Yule log and I'm still

366
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: embarrassed that I've never heard of this. Sam had a

367
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: great line. He says it's like a fireplace in her

368
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 4: house without the heat. I mean, and I was, I

369
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: had a Christmas without the heat? Did you guys also

370
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: miss seeing Eric Spoulstra on the sideline?

371
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

372
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: No, where's Tyler Hero when you need it?

373
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: Man? They're at the Hawks tonight, by the way, all right,

374
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: at the Hawks right at the isn't there like at

375
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: the Hop? Isn't there a song like that in the

376
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: nineteen fifties? Huh? Something like that? I asked Isaac long

377
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Grond There at.

378
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 4: The hok the Christmas party? Hop?

379
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: There we go? Perfect.

380
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm still reeling from that amazing joke because that

381
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 6: was really well crafted.

382
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: No heat.

383
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 3: What was your joke earlier about the clown show at

384
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: the oh?

385
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 6: You said Dan was saying that he's sticking to red

386
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 6: nose on because it's a clown show.

387
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: That was That was pretty good stuff for that Lions fan.

388
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 6: It was the Lions fan and I said, Dan was like, yeah,

389
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 6: he's sticking to his guns, and I'm like, yeah, those

390
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 6: guns are like.

391
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: Un balloon animal guns. It's not good. The second time.

392
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: This is a clown show that those do not those

393
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: leftovers do not reheat.

394
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 4: Well don't they do? The guns that did that have

395
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 4: that thing that come out and says boom or pal.

396
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what he is. Yeah.

Speaker 1: needs Sesame and Sesame needs you a little bit. On

405
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: this Netflix presentation yesterday, I know you had you didn't

406
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: have this sound on. Did you see the interviews that

407
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: were being done during the Cowboys Commander's game and the

408
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Lions Vikings game?

409
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: So I really didn't, But I know there's zoom interviews,

410
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: and I've watched enough Manning casts to know how zoom

411
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: interview you generally go.

412
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: As the Netflix broadcast came on and Jason Stewart, I

413
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: don't know if you were paying attention during the Clinton

414
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: Portis interview, but they go bring Clinton Portis in and

415
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: h Jacory Krosky Merrit Bill ends up ripping off a

416
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: seventy two yard touchdown run. So it's like, hey, welcome

417
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: in Clinton, portis Clinton. When you take a look at

418
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: this commander's team in the running game, I mean makes

419
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: you want to get And then as Bill's running down

420
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: the field for the grid. We should have done this

421
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: just but it's completely awkward to have this interview land

422
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: in the middle of a game because you may be

423
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: susceptible to a seventy two yard touchdown run and then

424
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: you have to become overly apologetic to the guest that

425
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: you're about to take a commercial break just after bringing

426
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: them out. Did you see this yesterday, Jason.

427
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: I didn't see that exact moment, but I could speak

428
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: to it in general. Okay, there are many things about

429
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: this that I hate. From the producer standpoint, I understand

430
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: how it came to be. They did this meeting the

431
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 4: powers that be at Netflix, all the producers like, hey,

432
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 4: Manning cast does this thing where they bring in like

433
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: former players from the teams. It's really cool, Like, no,

434
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: it's not. I don't know any viewers who like it.

435
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: On the Manning cast because it's always got a weird

436
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: connection where there's a delay, and then inevitably you ask

437
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: the guests that you're beholden to ask questions to you

438
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: ask a guest and he's given this long answer. He's

439
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: not paying attention to the game, and then something like

440
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 4: what you just said happens. It's like, it's so awkward

441
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: for the viewer. I don't know how this passed all

442
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: the editorial process to happen yesterday.

443
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: What was also great about the Clinton Portis interview, and

444
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: by the way, I think they went to stars on

445
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: each of the teams, because what was I didn't see

446
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: who the Cowboys player was. I didn't know who they

447
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: brought in for the Cowboys, but I know for the

448
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: Vikings they did Chris Carter and he was in front

449
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: of this beautiful Christmas tree and the commanders. I mentioned

450
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Clinton Portis. The zoom camera was from his computer, so

451
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: all you saw was the awning and the blue sky

452
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: in the background. So it's not like he's sitting there

453
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: on a setup interview. It's truly through the computer. And

454
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: so the zoom angle, like you see so many people

455
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: would be of the ceiling, but in this instance, it's

456
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: of a blue sky and you can just tell that

457
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: he's sitting out on his patio, which to me lessens

458
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: the professionalism of it. And so the access is completely

459
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: negated by making this moment so small that like at

460
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: least and it's not disrespectful to Clinton Portis, it's just

461
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: they said, hey, can you connect, get a good connection

462
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: and make sure we can see you Chris Carter's set up.

463
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: I could still see Chris Carter's ceiling, even though with

464
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree in the background, like it just it

465
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: lessens the product and it lessens the importance when you

466
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: don't have a great background setting. It's like seeing a

467
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: ceiling fan going on in the background. EMMITTT. Smith was

468
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: the was the one. Barry Sanders was the one who

469
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: did the They did the Lions one, and I don't

470
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: think they had a video camera for him. I think

471
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: he did a phoner wow, which honestly is the most

472
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: Barry Sanders thing. Right, Hey, Chris Carter's got this great,

473
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: beautiful Christmas tree. Clinton Portis is somewhere where it's nice

474
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: and warm and enjoying the sun, and Barry Sanders does

475
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: a phoner over the phone.

476
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 4: Again, I could tell you exactly what happened if that

477
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 4: was the case. I didn't even see the Barry Sanders one,

478
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 4: but I guarantee it was. They gave Barry this these

479
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,719
Speaker 4: instructions to get up from his home, and he pulled

480
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 4: like a typical sixty year old man, is like I

481
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 4: don't know what I'm doing here, and then I let's

482
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 4: just do the phoner and somebody's signed off on it.

483
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: Because we're paying Barry Sanders, we got to put him

484
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 4: on over the phone. But like I blame COVID, We

485
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 4: could blame COVID for a lot of things that are

486
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: much more serious than this. But during COVID, we all

487
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 4: had to do things from home. All the shows and

488
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: including cable news had to put all their correspondents and

489
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 4: reporters on via zoom call, and it became an accepted thing.

490
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 4: Even though it was really bad TV and the quality

491
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 4: was awful and you had to deal with connection issues,

492
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 4: we just forgave it because it was COVID. We're five years,

493
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 4: six years removed here, don't we don't need to do

494
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: zoom calls during games? This is not acceptable broadcast standard.

495
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I agree wellheartedly.

496
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: I think I've told this story on air. But I remember,

497
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 3: so I worked at my first job at Fox was

498
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: at FS one for the launch of the network. This

499
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: was now like ten years ago, and I remember, like,

500
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 3: what was gonna make FS one different? Was like, we're

501
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: gonna be edgy, and our guys and you know whatever

502
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: didn't have to wear ties with their suits. It would

503
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 3: be like you know, or it wouldn't even have to

504
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: wear a suit, like a nice sweater and a nice

505
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 3: this and a nice that. And like two weeks in

506
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: the head boss was like, no, we're going suits, we're

507
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 3: professional or whatever. And so I bring it up because

508
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,959
Speaker 3: the standard of which we allow on TV now is

509
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: mind boggling to me. Exactly what you said, like hotel

510
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: rooms with unmade beds in the background. Like it's the

511
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 3: sound quality, you know, some people have a professional mic

512
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: that you and some people you hear the echo because

513
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 3: it's the computer sounds. So I'm not surprised by the way.

514
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: To circle back to the beginning of this, It's why

515
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: I've never understood the appeal of the Manning cast. Like

516
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, it's cool that you got Tom Brady,

517
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: but like there's a time and a place to talk

518
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: to two thousand and four AFC Championship game, and I

519
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 3: don't know that it's during Cowboys Eagles when I want

520
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: to focus on Cowboys Eagles, let alone all the production issues.

521
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 3: So like I remember when the Many cast started, Everyone's like, oh,

522
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 3: it's a revelation. I'm like, it's kind of weird. Like

523
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: I just I want to watch the game that I'm

524
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: supposed to be watching right now.

525
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: So I I really appreciate and I like what Peyton

526
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: delivers like I do. Eli's I is not as polished

527
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: is Peyton, And I think it's shows in the Manning cast. Honestly,

528
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I didn't. I haven't watched the Manning cast this year.

529
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: When I've watched the Monday night broadcast, I've watched Bucking

530
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: Aikman so with probably for some of those reasons on

531
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: on why Iowa Sam.

532
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 6: Well, Eli's not as polished as as as Peyton is

533
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 6: because the the commercial that they do ratio is all imbalanced,

534
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 6: Like Eli needs to do five times more commercials and

535
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 6: he'll catch up with Peyton.

536
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Peyton's really good at it. Of course,

537
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm who is it? This said?

538
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 6: I'm sick of seeing Peyton. Manning was one of his

539
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 6: own guests. I was h it was on the Manning Cast.

540
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 6: He's like, you're in too many commercials. Sure, Eli is

541
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 6: starting to pick up.

542
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 7: I know.

543
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: They are constantly, They're the universal around us all the time. Yeah,

544
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: the the zoom aspect of it is it's just taken over.

545
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: And then then I have Eli asking question, So Bill

546
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: Hayter's here. Bill says you uh, and you can just

547
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: tell like it's awkward. You got your start here on

548
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 1: Saturday Live. You uh you you auditioned in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

549
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: What was that all about? Like, that's like the sort

550
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: of question. And so it just completely goes off the rails,

551
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: like scripted and entertaining.

552
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 4: Peyton's good at it, and Eli, I think is like

553
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: is a great clumsy compliment to Peyton's analysis. I think

554
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: he does offer insight. They're very insightful, and I could

555
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: I literally would probably still be watching the Manning Cast

556
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: if it was just the two of them reacting to

557
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: the game. There is a it's a it's a different

558
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: kind of an analysis, and it's unpolished and everything else,

559
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 4: but I think there is something literally them bringing in

560
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 4: these guests over zoom ruined it for me and I

561
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: stopped watching as well. I don't remember watching one this year.

562
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: There's also a delay. Yeah, all mentioned, but go ahead, Sam.

563
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 6: Another quick thing, if Aaron brought up unmade beds in

564
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: the background of like hotel zooms. If we're going to

565
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 6: talk about one of the all time worst things that

566
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 6: happened in the backdrop of some kind of interview, let's

567
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 6: go outside of sports, the political realm. It was Sarah Palin,

568
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 6: former mayor of Wisilla, Alaska, and this was when she

569
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 6: was running with John McCain. She's being interviewed I think

570
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 6: on her property or somewhere in Alaska, and in the

571
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: background was like some guy with a dead turkey, like

572
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 6: grinding it up in some machine. And she's just like, Oh,

573
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 6: I'm going along with this interview. And there's like this

574
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 6: like weird sort of like farming thing going on in

575
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 6: the background. You're like, oh, that's weird. I just remember

576
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 6: that happening. I don't, okay, d I remember John Wall

577
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 6: playing cards during an ESPN interview. He was playing cards.

578
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 6: He had his phone up and I think he had

579
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 6: a hand during his interview. It's just completely disrespectful. That's ESPN.

580
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: Well, then that goes to the Clinton Clinton porter's point,

581
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: and I don't know Clinton portis. I'm sure he's a

582
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: good guy, but like he's clearly not even watching the game.

583
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: Because he's outside.

584
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the likelihood that he's well, I guess that's fair.

585
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: People have TVs outside more often. But it's like probably

586
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: not fully engaged, which is no.

587
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: And his interview, by the way, was fine, you know,

588
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: like it was, but it just it didn't look great.

589
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: The Chris Carter interview again, like it's a camera and

590
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: it's pointed out, like he saw the top of the

591
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: Christmas tree with But it's not like they sent the

592
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: TV crew over or were able to farm out. Hey,

593
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: can you show up to Chris Carter's house. We'll pay

594
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: you guys a couple thousand dollars. He's going to do

595
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 1: an interview, set the whole thing up, and connect it

596
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: like there was none of that. It's just connected via

597
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: zoom or in Barry Sanders case, call his landline because

598
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: that's where he did the interview from. This show is

00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 8: it is twenty to nothing Northwestern.

621
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: He was all cats today as Northwestern won the game

622
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: above Sports Bowl thirty four to seven over Central Michigan.

623
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: Is our Tiraq Play of the day. We got the

624
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: Rate Bowl going on right now. Lobos and Gophers from

625
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Phoenix Field. Looks beautiful by the way they play. Chase Field,

626
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: home of the Diamondbacks field looks magnificent in uh In, Arizona.

627
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: That always do well in putting the end zones. Beautiful

628
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: maroon and gold with the Gophers the Lobos wearing a

629
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: bit of a throwback more of the Land of Enchantment

630
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: colors with the turquoise and red. So it's a really

631
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: good look for the for the Rate Bowl. I thought

632
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: it was the Guaranteed Rate Bowl at one point, but

633
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: now it's just the Rate Bowl. Voice not m M.

634
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, speaking of bowl games at baseball stadiums,

635
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 3: you cun in the Fenway bull tomorrow eighty percent of

636
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 3: their roster after Jim Moore left another cop. We'll save

637
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: that for hour five of today's show. What happened to

638
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: the wasabi portion of the Fenway Bowl? Like, where's the

639
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: spicy wasabi part?

640
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: Is that still a part of it? Idea? I don't

641
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: know what is it.

642
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 6: I know it's wasabi is with sushi, but like that

643
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 6: was a sponsor, but that wasn't what they do.

644
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: But this used to be the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, yes remember,

645
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: and now it was just Rate.

646
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 6: Bowl, right it was it wasn't also the White Sox

647
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 6: Stadium Guaranteed Rate Field, and now it's just Rate Field.

648
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: I think it's just a corporate change. It is the

649
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Wasabi Fenway all.

650
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: That's a man who knows some non playoff bowl games.

651
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of non playoffs, the Lions are not going to

652
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: the postseason. And it was two years ago when the

653
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: Lions had a double digit lead in the second half

654
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: in San Francisco of the NFC Championship Game that looked

655
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: like the inevitable and that the long drought was finally over,

656
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: that the Lions were on their way to the Super Bowl,

657
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: only to watch them not convert on a fourth down,

658
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: have the Niners start their comeback and the Lions go home.

659
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: And it was after that game that Dan Campbell said

660
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: this you got this far.

661
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 7: I don't know if a lot of people picked you

662
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 7: to come to the NFC title game, but disappointing end.

663
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 7: But what do you learn from this experience. I'm sure

664
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 7: you hope to get back here, you expect to get

665
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: back here, but what do you learn from this experience

666
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 7: of making it this far to this game.

667
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 9: Well, I think one of the things you always tell

668
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 9: everybody who's never been here, and particularly the young players,

669
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 9: is you don't know which play is going to make

670
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 9: the difference which one. You say that every game, but

671
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 9: when you get in there with a heavyweight like Sam

672
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 9: fran Man, but it is the difference, and sometimes you

673
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 9: can only say so much. You gotta live it. Unfortunately,

674
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 9: you got to get your heart ripped out, which we did,

675
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 9: and it's a lesson learning. Look, I told those guys

676
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 9: this may have been only shot. Do I think that? No,

677
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 9: do I believe that. However, I know how hard it

678
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 9: is to get here, and it.

679
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: Sure feels like today that that window of opportunity for

680
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions is now closed.

681
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, A couple of things. One, I was on

682
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: air that game. I think I was filling in with

683
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: Mark Willard on a Sunday. I was also on air

684
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 3: during the meltdown against the Commanders last year in the

685
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: divisional rounds. So nothing's guaranteed, you know. I will give

686
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 3: credit to my radio partner, Jason Martin Fox Sports Radio

687
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 3: Saturday nights. He always says that he doesn't believe there's

688
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: such thing as a Super Bowl window you got or

689
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: any window NBA title college football, like when you got

690
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: the squad, you gotta get it done because there's no guarantees.

691
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 3: Fast forward twenty four months, and I don't think any

692
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: of us thought that the Lions would be eliminated from

693
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs this early or period.

694
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: It was last year they were the number one overall

695
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: seed and then ran into the Commanders in the divisional

696
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: playoffs and now not going to the postseason. They need

697
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: to get healthier along the offensive line, but their defense

698
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: just hasn't been good enough the last couple of years,

699
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: whether it be for personnel, whether it be for injuries.

700
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: That has got to get better, and you just wonder

701
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: on how long can someone like Jared Goff continue to

702
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: do this. So there's a lot a lot to fix

703
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: with Detroit, who's now on the outside looking in. He's

704
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Eron Torres, I'm Dan Byer. Jason Stewart's here as his

705
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: Isaac glowin cron and Iowa Sam America's favorite game will

706
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: be played for the last time in twenty twenty five.

707
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: It's next on CNR
