00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: what better time than on a Friday where you can

30

00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: as you can. Maybe could have started celebrating last night, right, However,

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: I wanted to be here today on Fox Sports Radio

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: alongside Manzi, Jason Stewart Iowa Sam and Isaac Rollencrov. Now

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: we aren't going anywhere, but we are so for the

35
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: last few weeks, and I think people know that they've

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: listened to the to the network. Doug Gottlieb was in

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: this time slot for eight years. Doug's also the head

38
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: coach of the Green Bay men's basketball team that just

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: just decided to not lose. They are on they won

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: last night at Cleveland State. They're near the top of

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: the Horizon League standings. Doug step the focusing on basketball

42
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: in late December, so we've kind of taken over the

43
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: rains here over the last couple of weeks. But word

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,160

00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,360

47
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: here on FSR of doing this iteration of the show

48
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: of getting us five days a week and hearing us.

49
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: But so I wanted to be in. I wanted to

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: be a part of that. Otherwise, normally I would I'd

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: probably still be Yeah, maybe I'd be out watering flowers

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: in the backyard, who knows, maybe having lunch with the fam,

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: celebrating the birthday. But because of this today and the

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: new page that Fox Sports Radio turns on Monday, I

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: didn't want to leave this out.

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: So I'm I'm here with you guys today.

57
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: Stop. Let's not get emotional. Don't put the iris surron. Yeah,

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: don't do.

59
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 5: Any of that reason to get emotional. We're gonna have fun.

60
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 5: We're gonna have fun.

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 4: We are gonna have fun, and you can still do

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: all the other things. You're just gonna do it a

63
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: little later.

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: And it's great to have great to have friends. Great

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: to have people that you work with that are that

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: are your friends. And that's what we've got here at

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. I mean, Curius is hanging out with

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: us as well. On this Friday. It's everybody's hanging out

69
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 2: and having a good time. And Sean McVay, he's got

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: friends as well. The rams head coach getting set for

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: a showed out with the Chicago Bears. Maybe getting some

72
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's insider info, Manci, but maybe just

73
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: getting some help on how to defend the Chicago Bears

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: from a friend of his that happens to be the

75
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt Lafleur. Here's

76
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Sean McVay talking about maybe any assistance he's getting from

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: his buddy in advance of what's happening on Sunday night.

78
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: Obviously your staff. He's pret three times, Yeah, what'd you guess?

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: Now?

80
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 5: You know what, we watched the tape.

81
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 7: We do our work, and you know, Matt is a

82
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 7: very close friend of mine.

83
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: Leaving that close friend to think that they don't share information,

84
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I think would be foolish, no matter no matter who

85
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: it is. And I point out to the fact that

86
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: in this coaching tree, and there are a lot of

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: coaching trees in the National Football League, but Robert sala

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: At it is now, but at one point was, you know,

89
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: with Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco. So there's a relationship

90
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: with McVeigh and Shanahan working together. Lafleur working with McVeigh

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: and so there's they're all everything is weaved together. There

92
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: was a point last year when Robert Sala was dismissed

93
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: as the Jets head coach. He ended up going to

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: a few Green Bay practices, helping out Matt Lafleur and

95
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: the Packers and seeing what he saw on defense. So

96
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: those those things aren't necessarily uncommon in the National Football League.

97
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: And Sean mcvay's answer, I think tells you all you

98
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: need to know. But then I was wondering, Manzi, all right,

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 2: if Sean McVay is getting all the horses lined up

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: or people are letting him get information, the SAME's got

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: to be happening for Ben Johnson in Chicago, right.

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 4: Ah, I don't know, Dan, Oh, Yeah.

103
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: You're right, absolutely right. I don't know if there is either.

104
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: And that's what I am wondering, not does Ben Johnson

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: have any friends? But are there people there that want

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: to help out Ben Johnson? Because there are people that

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: are apparently helping out Sean McVay, and I think this

108
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: is a bigger picture on who the Bears are. In

109
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: one year, Chicago has gone from and also ran that

110
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: made crazy, crazy mistakes and found unbelievably weird ways to

111
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: lose football games last year, so now being the second

112
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: seed in the NFC, being the NFC North champions, and

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson has gone viral for a lot of reasons,

114
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: whether it be ripping off of his shirt, the quick

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: handshakes that he's had with Matt Lafleur. You'll probably come

116
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: up with some others. But the Bears have had great

117
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: success this year, and I'm not sure how many people

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: like it. So I'm wondering does Ben Johnson even have

119
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: friends that will help him out to try to beat

120
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams.

121
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, because the tree that you described

122
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: with Sean McVay and Matt Lafleur, that tree runs deep,

123
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: and I feel like if the Packers were still in

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 3: it and preparing for.

125
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: Their own game, maybe maybe they're not.

126
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: He's not getting that much help right because he's working

127
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: on his own thing. But the fact that Matt Laflor's

128
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: got time right now, Scott time, what else is he doing? Also,

129
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: like you said, one of the videos that we'll probably

130
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 3: won't forget for a while is their final handshake that

131
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: just happened a week ago. I know there was another

132
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: handshake also where Matt Lafleur kind of was the one

133
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: that was quick with it, but this one, you know,

134
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson took it to the next level. Like I

135
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 3: when I saw that video, I was like, oh, I

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 3: would have I would have grabbed his hand when he

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 3: tried to walk away. But then you see that Matt

138
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: laflor did it first, It's like, okay, okay, obviously there

139
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: is some sort of tension here, which we love as

140
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: the outsider getting to watch this unravel, and so there's

141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: so much to it. But yeah, Mettlefloor has a time

142
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: to go talk to his buddy and Ben Johnson, who's

143
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: he gonna call?

144
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenny doesn't want to call him?

145
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 8: Who is he gonna help him?

146
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: With zero interception?

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: He are you gonna call? Hey? It's Ben? How do

148
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: you not pick off passes? Do give me?

149
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: How do you tell me? How do you not catch

150
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford's passes? Because our defense needs to know. That's

151
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: what you would ask, Cary, That's what you would ask.

152
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting because we would think that maybe

153
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: he would lean on Dan Campbell. But then again, this

154
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: is a team in the Detroit Lions and the Chicago

155
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: Bears that are now division rivals. Maybe we don't know

156
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: how much the relationship between the two was while they

157
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: were working together, even though Johnson stayed for a year

158
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: longer than we thought. But I remember the Lions beating

159
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: the Bears fifty two to twenty one in Week one

160
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: of this NFL season, and I also remember the Lions

161
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: winning nineteen to sixteen at the end of the year,

162
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: and which could have maybe changed the playoff picture. Ultimately,

163
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: it didn't, as the Bears ended up being the two

164
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: seed because the Eagles didn't win their game. However, the

165
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: point is is, I don't think that there are places

166
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: that Ben Johnson can can turn to. I think that

167
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is a bit of a lone wolf. I

168
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: think that Ben Johnson likes that. I think Ben Johnson

169
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: likes to be the smartest guy in the room. He

170
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: was extremely picky in terms of the places and the

171
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: opportunities that he could have gone, and I think there's

172
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: something there's something good about that. But in the last

173
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: day or so, Monci we were talking about how much

174
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: America seems to love the Buffalo Bills.

175
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: I think that the.

176
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: Other side of the coin may be for as good

177
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 2: as the Bears are right now, could the Bears be

178
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: the team that is the foil to everybody? Because I

179
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: don't know if people are going to be warming up

180
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: to Ben Johnson. I don't know if people are going

181
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: to be warming up to Caleb Williams in Chicago.

182
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 9: Yeah.

183
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: I think that's the big picture here too, because Caleb Williams,

184
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: since he came into the league, I feel like was

185
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: a contra virtual player from his college days. Now, whether

186
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: you like that he puts no polish on or not,

187
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: he is a controversial.

188
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: Player that people like to talk about.

189
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: And then you add Ben Johnson, who is also a

190
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: different type of rubbs. Maybe somebody the wrong way because

191
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 3: of I agree. I think he likes being the lone wolf.

192
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: I think he likes being the smartest man in the

193
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: room and maybe he wouldn't take any help even if

194
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: it was offered. But that may not help him in

195
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: this matchup when you're may be facing eighteen that is

196
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: getting more information on you than you would like. But

197
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: yesterday when I said I feel like people hate watch

198
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Josh Allen, you guys were like, you're crazy. Maybe people

199
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: are hate watching the Bears and Caleb Williams and Ben

200
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: Johnson that I feel like I think we could agree

201
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 3: on that one.

202
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how you can deny Caleb Williams's talent.

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: It's just been on full display for really the second

204
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: half of the season and then even what we saw

205
00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: against Green Bay and the comeback on Saturday Night. It's there. Like,

206
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: if you can't see it, that is a you problem.

207
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: Whether you like it or not is a different story.

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: But if you can't see it, that's on you. If

209
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: you don't like the way that Caleb Williams plays, then

210
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: so be it. If you don't like the painted fingernails,

211
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: that's fine. If you don't like the way that he

212
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: answers questions in the press, you didn't like him crying

213
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: at USC, those are all things that end up. I

214
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: think it shows how polarizing of a figure that Caleb

215
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: Williams is. But as yeah, I think the draft process

216
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: and leading up to that, yeah, it all comes into play.

217
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: But I think that there's something like with now Ben

218
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: Johnson as well of I'm not sure on how much.

219
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he named Matt Lafleur in his introductory press conference,

220
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: and I think it's great for the league. I actually

221
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: have I'd much rather have this I weeks back, I

222
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: talked about how much I love the Jimmy Johnson Buddy

223
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: Ryan rivalry that we don't even really remember. Football fans

224
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: don't even remember of these coaches going back and forth

225
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: and jawing, and this is his close we've gotten this

226
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: something like that. I mean, if Rex Ryan's not in

227
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: the league, but hey's Son stirring stuff up. I don't

228
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: know who is, but Ben Johnson sure seems to put

229
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: people on edge. And I'm wondering if that's maybe why

230
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: other people are also going out of their way for

231
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: Sean McVay and for the Rams to maybe knock off

232
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: Chicago on Sunday Night.

233
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: Now, I think you hit it.

234
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: I think most people maybe are rooting against Chicago because

235
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: of all the things that you were just listing, But

236
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: also Ben Johnson, in this one year, we've seen such

237
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: a because it's like, you have Kurt Signetti, who we've

238
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: been watching serious dude, who like also kind of.

239
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 4: Seems to want to be the lone wolf right, like he.

240
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: Doesn't want to join in on the fun, he wants

241
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: to separate himself. So it's like, but why is Kurt

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: Signetti so loved and welcomed and then you have this

243
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: other polarizing effect with a similar type of character.

244
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: Yes, so polarizing. It's tough to warm up to Ben Johnson.

245
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: It is because he he does give off the sense

246
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: of smartest guy in the room.

247
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 5: And when you get an A on your first test,

248
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 5: which is this.

249
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 2: Season with the Bears, immediately yeah, then you're like, okay,

250
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: all right, maybe yeah, it does. It makes people feel

251
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: very uncomfortable. Yeah, and it validates maybe some of the decisions. Again,

252
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: when he was in the coaching cycle. He was in

253
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: the coaching cycle multiple times with the Lions, and in

254
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: the most recent cycle where he didn't get the job,

255
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: there were eight vacancies. I remember the Seahawks were one

256
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: of the vacancies. They spoke with Ben Johnson, and after

257
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: they spoke with Ben Johnson, he was gonna meet with

258
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: the commanders and then he canceled that meeting and said

259
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: I'm staying I'm staying with Detroit for another season. So

260
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 2: there were eight jobs that were opened up in the

261
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: National Football League that he didn't want. That's a quarter

262
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: of the league. And I think that there are people

263
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: who probably said that's arrogance. You know that these jobs

264
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: are rare and you're sitting there saying, you know what,

265
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: these aren't good enough for me. And right now he

266
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 2: has the laugh, laugh, the last laugh over those people.

267
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: Because he picked the job that he wanted, it came open,

268
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: it came against friends within the division of the Detroit Lions,

269
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: and so maybe there's some bridges that were burned there.

270
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: He obviously burned bridges with Green Bay and that Packer

271
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: Bears rivalry. So yeah, so it all kind of makes sense.

272
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: But right now Ben Johnson's having the last laugh. I

273
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: think that people just want to shut Ben Johnson up,

274
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: and that's maybe why they're helping, trying to help. Not

275
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: that Scheun mcfay by the way, Sean mcfahn doesn't need help, right,

276
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: But if there are things that you see that maybe

277
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: would be able to end this, I think that they'd

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: be more than willing to help end the Bears run.

279
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy.

280
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: Also, like with Caleb Williams, I feel like he doesn't

281
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: get the support that a lot of young quarterbacks get.

282
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: Like it's like people wanted the Bears to maybe struggle

283
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: a little.

284
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 4: Bit more before having this success.

285
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like, I don't know, Ben Johnson.

286
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson knew what he was doing.

287
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: Yes, And this is the other thing about Caleb Williams,

288
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: and I don't want to talk about it's not all

289
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks in the draft, because it's not. It's yeah,

290
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: it's not, we're not including nine in this. But when

291
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: you have when you have Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels and

292
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: Drake May one two, three, look at how look at

293
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: how we've handled those quarterbacks. And the thing, the point

294
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: that I'm going to make is I think that there

295
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: was a rush to judgment on Jayden Daniels last year.

296
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Then now we had to slow down our a bit.

297
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: YEP.

298
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: I think that there are people who didn't watch Drake

299
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: May in the later part of last season and maybe

300
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: weren't ready to admit that Drake May was ready for this.

301
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 5: And now he's an MVP candidate, so that has changed.

302
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: Whereas Caleb Williams like he's always been there and it's

303
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 2: just a matter of if people are willing to actually accept.

304
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: And I think with May and Jayden Daniels, people are

305
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: changing their opinions for whatever reason. They're not changing it

306
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: about Caleb Williams.

307
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: You would never have guessed that they were drafted the

308
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: same class because of how they're treated and how we

309
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: look at them.

310
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I think May and Daniels get a little bit more. Look,

311
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: they get more lenient, absolutely, and people aren't willing to

312
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: do that with Kayleb Williams. So that makes me then

313
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: wonder as a whole if people don't, you know, aren't

314
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: aren't warming up to your quarterback, if they don't like

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: your head coach. Now, are the Bears going to be

316
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: that team? They probably welcome it. The city of Chicago

317
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: and the Bears fans are like, all right, bring it on,

318
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: We'll be the villains. Yeah, if you want. Because I

319
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: look in this the NFC, actually look at the AFC quickly,

320
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: Bills would be the ultimate story. I think that the

321
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: Texans would be a feel good story if they were

322
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: to make it to the Super Bowl Denver. Maybe not

323
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: in New England, definitely not. But in the in the NFC,

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: you have teams. The Rams have been to two Super

325
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: Bowls one to one. Recently, the forty nine ers have

326
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: been to Super Bowls. Seahawks. I don't think we're that

327
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: far removed from legion.

328
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: Of boom, you know, right, still fresh.

329
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the Bears would be the underdog story, but

330
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: we're not. I don't know if we're using that narrative

331
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: and talking about that.

332
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: Definitely not looking at them like that.

333
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: No, for sure, she's Moncey Milanios. I'm Dan Byer.

334
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio had the best sports talk lineup in

Speaker 2: This is why I like hanging out with Moncey. She

338
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: said something yesterday that piques an interest in me and

339
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart and others, and we get to talk about

340
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,000

341
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 4: Yes, on your birthday.

342
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: On my birthday, Thank you, Thank you very much. I

00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: Jason. Great, great great job.

346
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: Gesture great great job in the stereo Iowa Sam is here,

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart, Isaac Lowincron A quick happy birthday, A quick

348
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: birthday story before I tell you about the pressurized cooker

349
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: that is the NFL playoffs or Moncey does I'll never

350
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: forget here at Fox Sports Radio. Do you have Monzi,

351
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: do you like to be the first to give the

352
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: happy birthday wishes. Do you feel when somebody else says it,

353
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: like in a room full of people, that if you

354
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: follow up yours maybe isn't as as a welcome. It's

355
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: a little water down because he followed somebody else. We

356
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: had a guy that worked here and I don't mind

357
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: naming his name because he's a good guy.

358
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 5: I believe he's still in the business.

359
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: Sam actually may know, but Gavin Kinsell, Gavin, you know,

360
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: producing podcasts. Gavin a great guy. People would get Sam's

361
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: last name in Gavin's last name mixed up.

362
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, phonetically, they kind of like Kinsel and Kinsell day,

363
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 10: so we say the law off is of Kinsle and Kinsel.

364
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: So Gavin was here and he was producing in the

365
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: down the hall in the old set, which if you're listening,

366
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: you don't know what I'm talking about. That's just more

367
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: for the people here. But there was that law of

368
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: diminishing returns where there were four or five people. One

369
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: person knew it was my birthday, so they said happy birthday.

370
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: I think John Ramos probably said Dan, have a great

371
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: birthday or something like that, and then there was a

372
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: different host like, oh, it's your birthday, Happy birthday. Then

373
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: in turn maybe says happy birthday. Gavin refused. Gavin was

374
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: sitting there on the computer. There were five people in there.

375
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: Four of them wished me happy birthday, and Gavin refused

376
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 2: to jump on the bandwagon. And I thought about I'm like, okay,

377
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: is this rude? And then and then I came, I'm like,

378
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: you know what that's like? Respect? Because Gavin knows being

379
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: fifth it's just gonna be completely watered down. He didn't

380
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: want to be bandwagon, so he just decided to not

381
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: say anything at all. And I will never forget that.

382
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: It actually makes me laugh to this day that he

383
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: he stood on business. He was not going to be

384
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: the fifth or fourth. If he was gonna be first, fine,

385
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: but he wasn't gonna He wasn't gonna jump on any

386
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: birthday bandwagon.

387
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: Did he tell you the next day happy belated birthday?

388
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: No?

389
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but I did think I asked

390
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: a good Gavin. Remember that one day when everybody was

391
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: wishing me happy birthday, you just sat silent. I go

392
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: was that on purpose? He was like yeah, yeah, he goes.

393
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: Everybody was saying it, and so he just didn't want

394
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: to get in on. He wasn't bad way goed, and

395
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, I appreciate that respect.

396
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 5: Yes you have respect. It turned in from a question

397
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 5: to respect that Oh but great time.

398
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: So I appreciate everybody uh here having some fun on

399
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: the birthday. We are hanging out on Fox Sports Radio.

400
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: Steve Gotts and Company Live debuts coming up on Monday,

401
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: three o'clock Eastern time, noon Pacific. I'm sure Stuve Gotts

402
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: will be talking about the weekend it was. Will he

403
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: be talking about the player who's under the most pressure

404
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: in the playoffs month?

405
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 11: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold Dan,

406
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 11: hold on second, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold

407
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 11: on a second. The reason why I'm interrupting Dan with

408
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 11: a drop of Dan could be confusing to listeners, but

409
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 11: I'm about hold on. We're gonna go ahead and hijack

410
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 11: the rest of the show. Dan, take that run down

411
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 11: in front of you and rip it up. I wanted

412
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 11: to do something for the very reason that Dan was

413
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 11: about to lay out. Stu Gots joins us on Monday.

414
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 11: We're excited. Nobody's going anywhere. We're not saying goodbye to anybody.

415
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 11: But it is Dan's birthday, and as he has laid out.

416
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 11: It's also the last day of this incarnation whatever. This

417
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 11: is the end. It's the end of something. And in

418
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 11: this business filled with bitter jerks who don't appreciate anything,

419
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 11: it's so rare that we could pay appreciation to one

420
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 11: individual and I don't want to lose that today because

421
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 11: this might be the last time. In fact, I kind

422
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 11: of want to open up the lines. You know how

423
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 11: stadiums around sports have fan appreciation Day. This is Dan

432
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 11: hoping to start with the inner crew here. Between the

433
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 11: four of us, we have different stories with Dan Byer.

434
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 11: It's really kind of neat. In fact, I want to

435
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 11: start with the one sitting next to you. Listeners might

436
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 11: not know this, but Dan is responsible for Moncey Bolognos

437
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 11: on this network. The stardom that she has achieved could

438
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 11: all go back to Dan Byer hiring her as a

439
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 11: news anchor, and her ascension began there. Moncey Bolognos, simple question,

440
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 11: what do you appreciate most about Dan Barr?

441
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 4: Well, I'm already tearing up over here, and again we're

442
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 4: not going anywhere. I just yeah, but up over here.

443
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 3: Do not put on iris because I'm already crying over here.

444
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: Really I am.

445
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,239
Speaker 3: Dan, As Jason said, I owe you a lot, and

446
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: I know you know that. But something that I truly

447
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: love about you, and I appreciate you getting me here,

448
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: I really do. But something that I love about you,

449
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: Dan is that you expect everyone to bring their A

450
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: plus game every single day.

451
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 4: You're not.

452
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 3: You're if you want to be good in average, it's fine,

453
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: but you don't want that in people, and you bring

454
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: that out in all of us.

455
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: And I love that because.

456
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: I know, like it's hard to always ask the most

457
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 3: of people, but you bring the most of yourself, and

458
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 3: so you bring it. You ask all of us to

459
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: bring the best, and I don't know if many people

460
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: do that. And that's what I love about you that

461
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: I know, like you want everyone to bring their a

462
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: game every single day. It doesn't matter what data is.

463
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: Bring your a game, because you're gonna bring yours.

464
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: So thank you, thank you you, and and I mean,

465
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: Manzi is done.

466
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: It's done. All the work.

467
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: I was just lucky enough to have her resume come across, uh,

468
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: come across my desk, and the rest is history. The

469
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: very kind words you do. You deserve all of the

470
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: credit is pretty incredible for that.

471
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 11: Hold On, Dan, hold on, this is pretty incredible. I

472
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 11: don't have it.

473
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 5: Hold On.

474
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 11: We have a full bank of calls there. They're lined

475
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 11: up to speak to you. I thought that we can

476
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 11: kind of go around the room to create a primer

477
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 11: to buy time for all these calls. In fact, I'm

478
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 11: looking at the extension of the calls. There are another

479
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 11: couple of hundred thousand people trying to get in. We

480
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 11: let me have room for six of them. But the

481
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 11: first one we're going to go to South Pasadena. This

482
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 11: is incredible South Pasadena. Our practice much must not have

483
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 11: started yet. The person I think that might know Dan

484
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 11: the best and the longest former technical producer at Fox

485
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 11: Sports Radio. He's a radio legend. Everyone knows him.

486
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 6: Uh.

487
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 11: John Ramos joins us via the phone from South Pastadana, John,

488
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 11: what do you appreciate most about Dan?

489
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 12: Byer Well, first of all, I want to say happy

490
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 12: birthdays to God.

491
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: A long time.

492
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 12: Oh I'm sorry, Happy birthday Dan, Dan. Dan knows exactly

493
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 12: how I feel about him. The one thing I appreciate

494
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 12: the most about Dan, and I think wants to he

495
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 12: touched a little bit on that is a fact like

496
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 12: Dan really wants to promote everybody. So when we were

497
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 12: doing the show together for many years, Dan always tried

498
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 12: to find a way to promote me, to say, how

499
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 12: can we get John involved in the show? How can

500
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 12: we do this? So the John Ramo Show started because

501
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 12: of Dan, all the different kind of bitch that we

502
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 12: would do with all of Dan wanting to get everybody involved,

503
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 12: wanting other people to be part of the show. And

504
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 12: that part I really appreciate about Dan the most is

505
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 12: his willingness to put the spotlight on other people. Besides

506
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 12: it's himself, but he deserves a lot of the spot

507
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 12: at himself too. And by the way, go Seattle, I

508
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 12: hope they beat the heck out of those forty nine ers.

509
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

510
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: It's great to hear John's voice and John, is you

511
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: know John is not doing his thing at South Pass

512
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: High longtime at Fox Sports Radio. I still keep in

513
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: touch with John. We still talk on a on a

514
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 2: regular basis in terms of life. So it's great to

515
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: have John as a friend. And I appreciate the very,

516
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: very kind words. And the John Ramos Show is still

517
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: it's just on hiatus. It's not over. Yeah, it's it's

518
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: not over. It's just on a hiatus at this point.

519
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 11: Thank you John. Again, we got so many calls to

520
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 11: get to you. Thank you very much. Yeah, THANKI And

521
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 11: I was hoping you got through on the one eight

522
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 11: hundred Love Dan and doesn't eight seven seven ninety nine

523
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 11: on Fox Now this next person has again, He's been

524
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 11: in the business forever and he and Dan have another

525
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 11: special relationship. I don't know when Isaac Longe Krown joined

526
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 11: Fox Sports Radio. I don't know if Dan had anything

527
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 11: to do with it, but I took Low and Krawn

528
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 11: at the news desk. What do you appreciate most about

529
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 11: Dan Barr?

530
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 13: First of all, I noticed that Jason and Monsey were

531
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 13: kind of getting a little emotional there. If I'm if

532
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 13: I'm not, if I'm not beautiful beautiful, and so is

533
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 13: Jason's but I just wanted to, uh, to put this

534
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 13: advisory out there.

535
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 10: Are you crying?

536
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, So that was directed at Jason and Monsey. So

537
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 13: I'm a dude, and uh, you know how dudes are

538
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 13: with emotions. So I'm literally going to lower my head

539
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 13: so I don't make eye contact with Dan here. But

540
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 13: you know, the true measure of a person and a

541
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 13: friend is how they are when times are bad. And

542
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 13: you know, when I first met Dan, I was a

543
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 13: free wheeling bachelor and I believe he was two. And

544
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 13: now we're both married with kids. And the thing about

545
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 13: sports and radio is it's a twenty four to seventh thing.

546
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 13: And as long as Dan and I have known each other,

547
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 13: there have been so many times when real life has

548
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 13: gotten in the way of what we do, which is

549
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 13: the toy department of life around here. And so countless

550
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 13: times over the years, I've had to call Dan literally

551
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 13: at all hours of the day, late at night, two

552
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 13: o'clock in the morning, four o'clock in the morning, five

553
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 13: o'clock in the morning and say, yeah, so and so

554
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 13: is sick. So and so is in the hospital. I

555
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 13: can't I can't come in today. I'm sick. Something's going

556
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 13: on with my family. I mean literally late at night,

557
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 13: early in the morning, and I dread having to do

558
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 13: that because I feel so like guilty and whatever. And

559
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 13: each time Dan has just made me feel so much better.

560
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 13: And he's just been so cool and kind at a

561
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 13: time when you know, four o'clock in the morning, eleven

562
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 13: o'clock at night on a Saturday night, and you know,

563
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 13: for people who don't know, Dan is the guy who's

564
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 13: responsible for keeping ninety three different plates in the air

565
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 13: with all the people here and all the various other

566
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 13: things we have to do, like I have outside things,

567
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 13: Monsy has outside things. I hope I'm not rambling too much,

568
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 13: but it just I know, it just has meant so

569
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 13: much to me over the years. I mean, Dan is

570
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 13: just a wonderful friend and a wonderful colleague on a

571
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 13: day to day basis, and when things are going well,

572
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 13: but things are not going well and at your lowest,

573
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 13: He's a guy who I so appreciate his dignity and

574
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 13: his basic human kindness. Uh, And I will never never

575
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 13: take that for granted, and me and my family appreciate

576
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 13: that so much. And now I'll never be able to

577
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 13: make eye contact with him again.

578
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot, Jason, thank you, thank you.

579
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 11: I just want to remind the listeners here, we're not

580
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 11: saying goodbye to anybody. We're not saying goodbye. It might

581
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 11: sound like he's not done saying goodbye, but in fact,

582
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 11: I think professionally, I think the best of Dan's years

583
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 11: are yet to come. I think he's only going to

584
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 11: do something bigger and better as we go on in

585
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 11: the years. We're not saying goodbye at all. So another

586
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 11: phone line, I can't believe, just a full bank of calls,

587
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 11: millions of listeners trying to get in telling us what

588
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 11: they appreciate most about Dan Byer. We're going to go

589
00:29:54,040 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 11: to Los Angeles where a Carrie Rhodes all pro so

590
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 11: he gone on uh one eight seven nine in one

591
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 11: on Fox. He just called in, Carrie, what do you

592
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 11: appreciate most about Dan Byer?

593
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 6: No, I'm joking.

594
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 5: I'm joking. What's up?

595
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: Carrie's gonna tell us what Pixie got right last night?

596
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: That's why he's calling in.

597
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 12: Happy birthday, Danny.

598
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Carrie.

599
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 7: Hey, man, I really appreciate you.

600
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 6: Man.

601
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 7: I know, Isaac went with a real deep soliloquy.

602
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 11: I'm gonna say you.

603
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: No, I just appreciate you.

604
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 7: Man. I really care about people that care about what

605
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 7: they do. That's the ultimate praise I think I can

606
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 7: give anyone. It's like when you care about what you do,

607
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 7: when you care about being that person all the time

608
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 7: and showing up for everybody, not just yourself. I see

609
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 7: you sometimes coming in and I can tell sometimes it's

610
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 7: a lot, but you won't show it or you won't

611
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 7: say it outwardly.

612
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 6: But I see you, I feel you.

613
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 7: You're a great partner to work with on Sundays.

614
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 6: And yeah, man, that's it. No picks today, just praise.

615
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: And we got work to do on Sunday.

616
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: Carry you know. I love working with you. Thanks so

617
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 2: much for taking the time. We'll do it five o'clock

618
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: Eastern time on Sunday. Monty will be where Isaac is

619
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: sitting as well. Uh yeah, And that's the great thing

620
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: is And I know there's there's probably more to get

621
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: to and I appreciate the words so much, Isaac Monty.

622
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you'll have to wait.

623
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: It's is that why Verizon was here to open the

624
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: phone bank earlier this week or the issues? I really

625
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 2: appreciate it, but I am fortunate enough to work with

626
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: a lot of different people, and all of our roads

627
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 2: end up crossing. So that's what's roads. You know, no

628
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: pun intended, right, but but uh, you know, I really,

629
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: I really do appreciate the kind words. I I know

630
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: it was my birthday obviously today and told you I

631
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: wanted to come in and do this and have this opportunity.

632
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: But this is this is very overwhelming in a way.

633
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: I've been embarrassing to be.

634
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, we knew you would, we knew you would

635
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 11: fight it. That's why we had to do it this way.

636
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 11: Now that this next person needs no introduction, but he'll

637
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 11: tell you that he's worked on the show for eleven years,

638
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 11: but he really actually started working full time in this

639
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 11: shift with Dan Byer. I think like maybe two years ago,

640
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 11: maybe a year and a half ago, whatever it was.

641
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 11: You hear him every day on the show. He works

642
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 11: closely with Dan. He's a technical producer. Djure Iowa, Sam, Iowa, Sam.

643
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 11: What do you appreciate most about Dan Byer?

644
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 10: Hello, everybody. I have known Dan the whole time. I've

645
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 10: worked here since May of twenty sixteen. And I'll tell

646
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 10: you this, Dan Byer is the picture perfect mullet and

647
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 10: let me explain. Okay, what is a mullet. A mullet

648
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 10: is business in the front, party in the back. Dan,

649
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 10: when he shows up, the preparedness is at one hundred.

650
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 10: The details on the stories are at one hundred. Okay,

651
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 10: Dan is ready to go. He's he is a really

652
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 10: really solid sportscaster and sport and anchor and sports broadcaster

653
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 10: and takes originator. He is ready, he is detail oriented.

654
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 10: He is prepared, but then the party is in the

655
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 10: back of the mullet. Okay, Dan is always going to

656
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 10: come prepared with the details, but there's always going to

657
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 10: be fun times during the show. He really is a

658
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 10: reincarnated game show host turned into a sports broadcaster. There's

659
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 10: always going to be moments of levity. He is still

660
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 10: the pun king of Wisconsin. He is he is ready

661
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 10: to do game shows on the show and have a

662
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 10: good time. So it's a mix of business in the front,

663
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 10: party in the back. You know you're going to get

664
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 10: the whole mix with Dan Byer. That's why he is

665
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 10: the perfect mullet of sports talk radio. All Right, that's

666
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 10: a really great way to put it.

667
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 11: That is by far, that is by far, the most

668
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 11: pointed concise thing Sam has ever said.

669
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 8: I wrote down a few notes on my ShredIt on time.

670
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 11: He didn't waste any words. I would just say, just

671
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 11: just a broadcast note for Sam's that moving forward.

672
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 8: Whatever you just I've been trying moving four months.

673
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 11: I've been trying and everything.

674
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 5: Thank you, Sam.

675
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 10: I want to wait. Can I say one more thing?

676
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 10: One more thing about dance?

677
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 5: I was samming it up. That's okay, and so yeah

678
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 5: doing it.

679
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: Oh, old habits are hard to break. It's a new year.

680
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 2: We have a Midwest connection. That's why we.

681
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 10: So yeah dance Wisconsin. I'm from Iowa. Thing about Dan, though,

682
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 10: is he's a great gift giver. But if you don't,

683
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 10: if you don't give him a gift with the same

684
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 10: thought put into it, the thoughtfulness, he'll he'll notice it.

685
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 11: He'll he'll let me know.

686
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 10: Because the one time I gave a bunch of these

687
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 10: Cedar Rapids Colonels a minor league baseball team, I gave

688
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 10: a bunch of his hats out to everybody in my

689
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 10: inner circle. But I didn't have enough to buy everybody

690
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 10: fitted hats. But I bought Dan a snap hat, and

691
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 10: that I.

692
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: Wasn't I wasn't good enough to get a fitted hat.

693
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 2: Dan was in the adjustable hat, was in the slightly

694
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: outer circle of hosts I was working with, and those

695
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: hats were still like thirty five forty bucks. Well the

696
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 2: fitted ones were the adjust No, well, the the fitted

697
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: ones were even more.

698
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 5: But but I wasn't good enough for those. You weren't.

699
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 8: Dan was at that point. Now he's in the fitted

700
00:34:58,920 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 8: hat ketting.

701
00:34:59,520 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 5: Oh.

702
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 10: I think maybe at some point I just need to

703
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 10: get Dan a fitted hat from the Cedarrabits colonels. But

704
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 10: you know, and Dan was like, oh I see, I say,

705
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 10: we're in the outer circle.

Speaker 9: to be able to work with the guy for more

875
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,799

877
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 9: not duplicitous he is djb Oh.

878
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 2: I appreciate that we should get like a patch, like

879
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 2: twenty year patch. I know, like it's like me and Lingard,

880
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: you know, like we've worked twenty years together.

881
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 5: We just wear it around the hole because.

882
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 9: Then we'd probably have to get one for Vito, and

883
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:18,920

888
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 11: I think Dan is funny, but he also knows funny

889
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 11: and he knows what funny content is, and he does impressions,

890
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,560

928
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: you know, put them in? And I think he said, yeah,

929
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 2: well she had the Sam Donald thing from yesterday that

930
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: we wanted to talk about. I'm like, okay, and so

931
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 2: I never thought and now like I knew why she didn't.

932
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 3: We didn't.

933
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 5: We didn't have any topics for the second hour.

934
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 11: You'll be spending the rest of the day piecing together

935
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 11: suspicious things that all of us were doing. Right, is that?

936
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: Why is this why you were driving fifty five and

937
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: the one oh one yesterday? I randomly got behind her

938
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: in traffic, but there was no traffic. She has personalized plates.

939
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: I won't say what they are, but so I knew

940
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: it was her and I had to go that way

941
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 2: because that's kind of towards where my father in law lived.

942
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 2: So randomly, I'm behind Mancy on the one to one

943
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: freeway in LA. She's don't worry Manzi's mom. She's doing

944
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: the speed limit or under like she was in the

945
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: far right lane going slow. I'm hanking my horn waving,

946
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: Like what randomness? She had no clue.

947
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 5: I was behind her.

948
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 4: No until you called me, and I was like what

949
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 4: he's like, do you hear me? Howking at you?

950
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 3: And I was like right now, like when I was

951
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 3: on the phone with my mom, and so you know,

952
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: I was concentrated why she was telling me, and I

953
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 3: was going home so that I was all the way

954
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 3: to the right.

955
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 4: I exited right after you. So yeah, my bad bad.

956
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: There was a song prior to Manzi being born called

957
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 2: I Can't Drive fifty five by Sammy Hagar, and that

958
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 2: was correct because she was going fifty two yesterday. There

959
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 2: was cars flying past her, just cruising along. You do

960
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: not have to worry about Manzy having a lead foot.

961
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 4: I was all the way on the right. I was exiting, okay,

962
00:47:55,560 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 4: I was talking to my mom. I was keeping it safe. Okay.

963
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 5: Know this song is great. I love this song as

964
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 5: a kid.

965
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 4: By the way, I know talking in Spanish, driving all that, you.

966
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 11: Know, hold on, hold on, okay. So I want to

967
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 11: remind the listeners of what we're doing today. It's Stan's

968
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 11: birthday and we're not saying goodbye to anybody. We're not

969
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 11: saying goodbye. I think Dan's best days are ahead of

970
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 11: him on this network. You're gonna hear us all moving forward.

971
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 11: No one's saying goodbye, but I thought it would be

972
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 11: a great day to appreciate Damn Byer. This is the

973
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 11: end of an era that what we have been doing,

974
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 11: what you have been listening to in this time slot

975
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 11: is changing on Monday, and we are very excited about

976
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 11: welcoming Stu Got's in. But I did want to say

977
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 11: goodbye to this kind of entity. The I think the

978
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 11: only way we can do, and that's to say what

979
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 11: we appreciates about Dann Bayer. Now, I guess it's my turn.

980
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 6: It is.

981
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 11: I don't know if you guys notice this. It's my turn.

982
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 11: So I've been in the business for I've been in

983
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 11: the business longer than anybody in this room, and there

984
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 11: just are certain people that I gravitate to at work,

985
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 11: and it's people that carry themselves professionally and seriously like

986
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 11: Dan Byer does. He's the kind of guy that like

987
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 11: he just gets it on and off the air right.

988
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 11: He's a very generous broadcaster in a field of bitter

989
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 11: jerks who don't want to be generous. Most people are

990
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 11: looking for fame, They're looking to get to the next thing,

991
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 11: Dan Byer wants to improve you while you're on the air.

992
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 11: I personally know that I've grown as a broadcaster just

993
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 11: listening to Dan and Dan putting me in great spots

994
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 11: on the air. That's what he does. So for those

995
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 11: who don't quite know Dan's resume, he is the manager

996
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 11: of the news anchors at Fox Ports, so he has

997
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 11: that hat. So he does all the hiring, all the scheduling.

998
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 11: When people call him sick late, he often fills in

999
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 11: and during hours when someone twenty years in doesn't really

1000
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 11: need to do that. So he's that guy. And then

1001
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 11: he's the host for all the shows that need a

1002
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 11: guest host, and he is going to sit in with

1003
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 11: anybody and he's gonna make it work in this generous

1004
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 11: way that I describe. He is the most versatile broadcaster

1005
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 11: I have ever been around. And also also every time

1006
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 11: Doug Gottlieb wasn't on the air each of the last

1007
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 11: four and a half years I've been here, Dan's been hit.

1008
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 11: So he was like the the I guess the guest

1009
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 11: host azure for this time slot. All of our listeners

1010
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 11: are very familiar, but from a professional standpoint, it really

1011
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 11: doesn't get any better. You know, we do really fun things,

1012
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 11: like when you talk to people off air and you're like,

1013
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 11: I work in sports radio. Oh, I'm a huge sports fan.

1014
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 11: That must be so fun. It can be fun, and

1015
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 11: it is fun, but it takes a hell of a

1016
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 11: lot of work to get to that fun. And Dan

1017
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 11: is always willing to put in that work. And I've

1018
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 11: always appreciated about you, Dan, and just personally from a

1019
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 11: friendship standpoint, that generosity and that's an unselfishness and consideration

1020
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 11: also blends into your personal life. As your wife had

1021
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 11: described earlier this hour, you have made me a better friend.

1022
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 11: In other words, I've learned how to be a friend

1023
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 11: being your friend. I've never had a guy friend put

1024
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 11: thought into gifts, but it makes me rethink and recalibrate

1025
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 11: how I associate with friends. So with all that said, Dan,

1026
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 11: I appreciate you, and I hope you had a good day,

1027
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 11: happy birthday, and I'll let the two of you sign off.

1028
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much, Jason, very very kind words.

1029
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: I respect so much of what you do, even before

1030
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 2: you even came to Fox Sports Radio, before we knew

1031
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: each other and worked with each other, and yeah, we've

1032
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: been side by side for the last four and a

1033
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 2: half years we were side by side in Buffalo. I

1034
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 2: think that tells us how our friendship has grown. And

1035
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 2: so it's been a pleasure of working with you and

1036
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 2: look forward to continue to work with you and in

1037
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 2: the future here on Fox Sports Radio. So this was amazing, guys.

1038
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 2: I never expected we had yearine review and the whole deal.

1039
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:53,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the Manning castkl Tucker. I truly

Speaker 2: about you, guys, So thank you so much. And that

1043
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:10,080
