00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: Thank go time joining me on today's program. This is

16
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: a fun one. You know, well, you don't know if

17
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: you're listening. I was about to say, you know, when

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: you do comedy festivals, But what a stupid thing to

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: say to people who aren't comedians. When you do comedy

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: festivals as a comedian, you get a chance to see

21
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: people you haven't seen in one hundred years, and it's

22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: it turns into this unique bond, Like that's how I

23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: feel on this show. It's Dan Soder. Yeah, every time

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I see you, I get so excited. Yeah, almost like

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: I want to wrap my arms around you and not

26
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: let you leave. So this I don't know how this

27
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: episode's gonna go, but it's nice to see you. Man.

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: It's gonna go the distance, and it's great seeing you

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: because it is comedy becomes adult summer camp, so your

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: friends you only see at summer camp. You know, comics

31
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: are on the road every weekend, but in different cities.

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: So when you are when you happen to be in

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: a city with another comic that you're friends with, that's incredible.

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: And then the second thing is comedy festivals, where you're like,

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: we have so much to talk about.

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: What's happening?

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, A lot of times you just picked back up

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 2: from when you saw each other last. So when you

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: reached out to me and you were like, hey, do

40
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: you want to come talk about the forty nine ers,

41
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: which A I always do and B you're like, dude,

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: come on my podcast, I was like, one hundred percent

43
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: I would love to do that. A meeting of two worlds.

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and our main goal here, like I will do

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: my best not to unravel this thing into a two

46
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: hour you know, mutual ted talk. Let's start. Let's start

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Niners here, because you are you're a die hard, lifelong

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Niners fan.

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, first piece of clothing I was put in was

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: a forty nine Ers onesie.

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: And it's just that's my question because you grew up

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: in Colorado.

53
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: Well, I was born in Hartford. My dad, my parents,

54
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: my dad specifically is from the Bay Area. My mom

55
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: is from Fresno. They met in San Francisco and were

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: married there and lived there for years. And then my

57
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: mom worked for ETNA and she got transferred to Hartford,

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Connecticut because that's where their home office is. That's where

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: I was born. And then my mom got her her

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: whole family is from originally from Colorado, and she's an

61
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: opportunity to go be transferred to Denver and she was like, oh, Dan,

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: I'll have cousins and stuff like that around. So we

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: moved to Denver when I was five, but I was

64
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: locked in as a forty nine Ers fan. There was

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: like I was born in eighty three, so I missed

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: the eighty one Super Bowl. But I you know, you're

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: born in the eighties to the forty nine ers, you're

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: a forty nine Er fan. There's just yeah, And then

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: it went through. You know, I was always a forty

70
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: nine Ers fan. But the thing that really makes it

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: set in stone is and you know this, and every

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: NFL team fan knows this, except maybe a young Patriots fan.

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: The lean years are what make you a diehard fan,

74
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: the least years where you know, after Eddie de Barbolo

75
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Junior had to sell the team to the York family,

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: his sister and her husband.

77
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: Pause right there, Let's take a moment and do something

78
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: that I never get to do with anyone. Let's and

79
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: I know there's some stuff at the end there that

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't need to like get it. But

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: like Eddie de Bartolo Junior is the pre eminent example

82
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: of good. Like the way that guy he introduced giving

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: players their own rooms, like all that, Like the way

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: he treated players.

85
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 2: I could argue greatest stoner in the history of the NFL.

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: He I yeah, he bought the team. He's from Youngstown, Ohio.

87
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Bought the team for a million dollars from his dad,

88
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: and then that was nineteen seventy eight. I believe he

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: bought the team nineteen seventy nine. He brings in Bill Walsh,

90
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: they draft Joe Montana. By nineteen eighty one, their Super

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: Bowl champions, and then they go on a run until

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: he honestly he sold the team, I believe in Like

93
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: I might be wrong about the actual year, but it

94
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: was around two three and the forty nine ers were

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: winning a division every year, almost every year, and almost

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: every year in the NFC Championship game. So it was

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: a question of you know, you go from Bill Walsh

98
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: to George Seffert, you stay good. But then you go

99
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: George Seffert to Mooch to Steve Mariucci and you stay good.

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: It's like, well, that's that's ownership. That's just keeping a culture.

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 2: And the thing that I love about Adea Bartolow Junior,

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: every single player, I think it's every single player from

103
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 2: his tenure as owner that's became a Hall of Famer,

104
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 2: has had him and duck them into the Hall of Fame.

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: That's nuts.

106
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: That's the crazy thing. And what a lot of people

107
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: don't know is, and I'm not saying it was his

108
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: personal Yoda, but when Robert Kraft was buying the Patriots.

109
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: He went to Di Bartolow and was like, like, so

110
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: this this way of treating players, like to Bartolo, the

111
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: whole thing, standing in the hallway, greeting the players after

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: the game, knowing their families, spending this different sort of time,

113
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: I think makes you want to play for him exactly.

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: And he just built this culture. But it's interesting that

115
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: you grew up like you were real little when they

116
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: were on that amazing run. So you probably have a

117
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: couple memories. Yeah, But then like there's that core moment

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: of sports fandom, you know, like thirteen to eighteen where

119
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: the world is different.

120
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: But again still fine. Forty nine Ers wonted. The last

121
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: time the forty nine Ers won in Super Bowl, I

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: was eleven. It was nineteen ninety four in Okay. Yeah,

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: it was the seventy fifth anniversary season. We beat the

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: Chargers in the Super Bowl, and then the next year

125
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: NFC Championship lose to the Cowboys in ninety five, and

126
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: then we go through the Green Bay Brett Farv the

127
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: early Brett fav years, which you guys saw them turn around.

128
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: When Holmgren, again a former forty nine Er guy, goes

129
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: Coast yep and turns the West Coast offense with Brett Farvre.

130
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: So then I hate the Packers from ninety six to

131
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: ninety nine, but we get the we get the taroll

132
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: Owens catch, we get like you know, there's still moments.

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: The last great moment I remember of the forty nine

134
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Ers being like the old like when they were running

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: on fumes of gas, which a lot of people don't remember.

136
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: This was in the playoffs. The forty nine Ers came

137
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: back with Jeff Garcia against the New York Giants. We

138
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: were down like seventeen.

139
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Is this the taroll Owens crying moment?

140
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: No, that was the Packers. That was that was That

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: was the Packers. Yeah, okay, that was a wild card

142
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: game against the Packers in ninety eight. That was still

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: Steve Young. But later turn of the century, Oh, I

144
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: think it's two. The forty might be one. Two. The

145
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers beat the Giants on this massive comeback

146
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: win in the playoffs, and then that was it. We

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: lost to somebody, and then it was like, I think

148
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: we lost to the Rams. Were the greatest show on turf.

149
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: And then it got real dark, and then it got

150
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 2: real bad. It got I got it got.

151
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Real, but not for that long all of a sudden.

152
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: That I disagree. I disagree. Your eight years is a

153
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 2: long time.

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: Stop, dude, I will not do this with you. Well,

155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: I will not do this with you.

156
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: Here's the analogy I always make growing up a forty

157
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: nine Ers fan in the eighties and nineties foot NFL wise,

158
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: I grew up riches and then we found out my

159
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: dad had been a part of a Ponzi scheme, and

160
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: we lost everything for eight years. I mean we lost everything,

161
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: We lost the house, we had to go live with family.

162
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: And then you get this like business idea that your

163
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: dad invests in that gets you money again, and you

164
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: got horriball and you've got three seasons of going. You

165
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: go to a super Bowl, you go to three NFC

166
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Championship games, and you're like, we're back on top, baby,

167
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: and then you find out that was a Ponzi scheme,

168
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: and then you lose it for three more years and

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: you're like, what's going on? And then Kyle Shanahan was like,

170
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna put your family, you know, And

171
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: then now we're back in the mix where you're kind

172
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: of like you don't trust the wealth but it's nice

173
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: to be back.

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, it must be really hard to have

175
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: been rich a bunch of different times. Right, thirty years.

176
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: And I realized I'm talking to a Vikings fan after

177
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: you guys went ow and four in the Super Bowl

178
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: in the seventies and eighties and they haven't been back since.

179
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: If the forty nine Ers win a Super Bowl this year,

180
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: it will be one of those things where I'm like,

181
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: I am I can rest. Yeah, I would cheer for

182
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: the Vikings. I'll tell you the four teams I would

183
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: cheer for, which surprisingly they just beat us. I would

184
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: cheer for the Browns. Sure, I would cheer for the Vikings.

185
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Sure I would cheer for the Lions. And then, of course,

186
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna cheer for him regardless of the Miami Dolphins,

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: because of Mike McDaniel.

188
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I can't budge off of how I'm feeling watching you

189
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: describe your hardship, and it's interesting. But you're right, But

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: it's like to watch one of the things. When I

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: was thinking about this episode, I wanted to I had

192
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: written down. I was like, I should ask him how

193
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: great it feels to have Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch.

194
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: But just then listening to you say that, I want

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: to set your apartment on fire. So but it is,

196
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: it is wild you there's those rare moments. I felt it.

197
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: In ninety eight, Oh my.

198
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: God, your guys's team was the best team in the NFL.

199
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: And you know I told you about growing up in Colorado.

200
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: My uncle, my dad's half brother, had Bronco season tickets

201
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: and he had no one to go with. And I'm

202
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 2: a massive NFL fan, so I would go to these

203
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: Bronco games and it kind of got me a little

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: bit for a while to be like, oh, I like

205
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: the Broncos. It's fun watching John Elway. And then when

206
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: Mike Shanahan came over from the Niners he was ro

207
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: coordinator and left after that Super Bowl and came to

208
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: the Broncos, I had more of an ind of like, okay,

209
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: go Broncos. But I was at the nineteen ninety eight

210
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: AFC Championship game my uncle, and I'll tell you right now,

211
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: when you guys lost to the Falcons, there was a

212
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: and I mean this in anyone that was at Mile

213
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: High Stadium will tell you this. There was a collective

214
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: sigh of like, okay, if the if the Broncos win today,

215
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: they'll win the Super Bowl. Like there was that like, oh,

216
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: if everyone knew in Mile High Stadium that the Vikings

217
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: were the best team in the NFL. The nineteen ninety

218
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: eight Vikings were the best team that year.

219
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: And I feel like right now your your team is

220
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: living in one of those moments I don't want to

221
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: put I don't know where your superstitions lie. I don't

222
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: want to put a lot.

223
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: I mean recently, it's yeah, it's been so hard. Last

224
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: season's NFC Championship game was so heartbreaking that you're like,

225
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 2: I don't even know if superstitions are real anymore. Now

226
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: it's just like I'm like a war torn guy where

227
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: I'm just like, yeah, bring it whatever brother is.

228
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: And I can't. I can't believe I'm gonna give this

229
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: to you, but I believe it in my heart it

230
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: will be. If you guys do win the Super Bowl

231
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: this year, that journey not for all of them. I'm

232
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: investing in you, my friend, who I care about. Sure

233
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: that that personal journey of eleven years old when we

234
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: won our last one and then getting too experience because

235
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: I think every sports fan I know, oh, it's not possible.

236
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: The world isn't magic. I think every die hard sports

237
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: fan should get to experience their team winning a title

238
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: when they're in their youth and a title when they're

239
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: an adult. That would be sports world perfection to experience that.

240
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Now, you gotta understand. When I moved to Denver, there

241
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: was a lot going on my family. My dad ended

242
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: up moving back to San Francisco. My mom raised me

243
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: in Denver. When I was ten years old, I made

244
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: the choice to become a Denver Nuggets fan. I was like,

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: you know what. The Golden State Warriors were our team

246
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: I did. They traded away Tim Hardaway. I didn't like that.

247
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: I didn't run. I didn't like run. Tmcbing broken up,

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: so I was like, you know what, I love the

249
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: new They just switched the logo of the Nuggets to

250
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: the Mountain. Yes, we had Matumbo, we had Lafonzo Ellis.

251
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: There was like a lot of people and I was like,

252
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to choose the Denver Nuggets because I don't

253
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: have any other Denver teams. I didn't like the Rockies.

254
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: They're in the same division as the San Francisco Giants,

255
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: So I was like, I'm love the Nuggets one of

256
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: the most painful decisions I've made, because then I watched

257
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: the Nuggets be mid and terrible for so many years,

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: and then I watched the Warriors explode. And you have

259
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: to understand my dad's family. My grandmother specifically stayed a

260
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: Warriors fan. Everyone loved the Dubs. You would be in

261
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 2: the Bay Area and everyone's like, oh, the Warriors, They're unbelievable.

262
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: They're never gonna lose, and they would always kind of

263
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: beat up on the Nuggets, and I was like, damn,

264
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: But the Nuggets winning the championship this year felt so

265
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: surreal because you were like, I never thought it was

266
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: gonna happen. That being said, I do believe if the

267
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: forty nine ers won the Super Bowl, I would become

268
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: very emotional. I think I think that would I I

269
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: was happy when the Nuggets won. I do believe when

270
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 2: you have your team, like your team, you can have

271
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: several teams in a city you like, but you always

272
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 2: have one that you're like, it's your favorite child. Yeah,

273
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: and you're like, this is this means the world to me.

274
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: Twenty nineteen to get into Mike McDaniel, I was very

275
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: lucky when Kyle Shanahan took when Kyle Shanahan took the

276
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: head coaching job after losing to the Patriots in the

277
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with the Atlanta Falcons. When the forty nine

278
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: Ers named John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan head coach GM,

279
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: I was like, great. Then I get the text from McDaniel.

280
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm a forty nine er. I was like, this is unbelievable.

281
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins, is a I

282
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: would say, childhood friend, lifelong friend. You described it how

283
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: you want.

284
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,920

Speaker 2: then I'm gonna go back and you're like, oh, that's awesome,

363
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: And there's what he's done for me is I don't know.

364
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: I knew. I knew I was an athletic by the

365
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 2: time I hit high school. But what I did realize

366
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: with Mike was like I view football sometimes through the

367
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 2: lens of like what what he's explained to me. It

368
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: gets interesting in different ways. It's not just like the

369
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: collective like let's go team, everybody's everybody's great and everybody

370
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: on that side's bad. You just kind of realize all

371
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: the intrapersonal relationships and like who's been affected by who

372
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: and and how like, you know, he did a fun

373
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: thing for the forty nine ers. I don't know if

374
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm speaking out of school on this, but I love

375
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 2: that he did this. One season with the forty nine ers.

376
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: He told me he would take a play from the

377
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: team they were playing the next week, and he would

378
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 2: run it once in a game so that when they

379
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: were watching film, they'd be like, is that our play?

380
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: He would just do that to mess with them, just

381
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: strictly to mess with them. He'd be like, we're gonna

382
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: run it once and then you know that was it,

383
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: and that's it's so funny. That's him being so funny

384
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 2: through like his you know what he does, but he is.

385
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: People ask all the time, They're like, is that really

386
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: who he is? I'm like, dude, that is him and

387
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: those press conferences and him on the sidelines when he's

388
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: miked up, that's one hundred percent Mike.

389
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: I have Ben Leeber played for the Chargers and the

390
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: Vikings made a very large mistake by befriending me. We've

391
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: gotten very close and so the same thing where you

392
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: just learn more about the behind the scenes aspects and

393
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: the on the field stuff where you're like, oh, like

394
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: you go, don't check it down. He's like, what are

395
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: you talking about? You're an idiot. That's not how football works.

396
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: So you learn all this different stuff.

397
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 2: I remember the first conversation having that with Mike. My

398
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: friend Chad Harder and I go to all the games.

399
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: Chad and I grew up with Mike friends in high school,

400
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 2: and Chad and I were living together in Tucson. This

401
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: is after I graduated from U of A. I was

402
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: still doing stand up. He was punting at the University

403
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: of Northern Colorado and it came down to Tucson to

404
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: stay in shape for audition, for auditions. For it.

405
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: Let's go with aud audition.

406
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: He had a football audition. That's such a lame showbiz terms.

407
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: But hey, damn, will you come help me with my lines?

408
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: I need to dude. He kicked the punt one time.

409
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: You know how punters can make it go over or

410
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: they can make it drop. So I didn't know they

411
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 2: could do that. And I was helping him with one

412
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: of his auditions, but he punted the ball and we

413
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: were just at like this high school football field in Tucson,

414
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: and I'm like I put a cigarette down to catch it,

415
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: and h dude, the ball. The ball went up and

416
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: then came down right on my face. I mean, just

417
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: zero down. And we're like, well, that's it for the day.

418
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: We're not going to run lines anymore. You just busted

419
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: my face.

420
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: When I was working at ESPN and we were like

421
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: I desperately wanted the Vikings to just built a new facility,

422
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: and I was just like I just need to just

423
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: get me in the building, just get me. I can't

424
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: remember what I pitched some dumb shit, Like hey, what

425
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: if I did? They were like, we get it, we

426
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: love you, just go do it. And so one of

427
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: the things I did is it is basically letting me

428
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: loose in the facility. Was they put me in pads

429
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: and I was going to catch a punt, dude. I

430
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: from that moment on, I was like whatever, somebody could

431
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: not even catch the ball, and like it's it's a

432
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: very difficult task. It is a terrifying task. I don't terrify.

433
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: But I remember McDaniel called us. He was in Houston

434
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 2: with Kubiak okay, and we were like asking him who

435
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 2: are they going to draft? It was like Vince Young,

436
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: Mattliner at Jay Cutler, it was that draft, Reggie Bush.

437
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: It was like unbelievable. And we were like there were

438
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: the number one pick. We're like, who are you guys

439
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: gonna take? Who are you gonna take? This was day

440
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: of the draft. The draft is already in. Apparently they

441
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: had already like they knew they had already contacted him.

442
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: But McDaniel was like Mario Williams and we were like who.

443
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: He's like Mario Williams from NCI State and we're like,

444
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: who is that guy? Why would you do that? We

445
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 2: were like calling him out, being like that's stupid. You

446
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: should draft Bush, you should draft Vince Young or whatever. Yeah, well,

447
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: it was just the way his mind was. He was like, well,

448
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: Kubiak explained it to us, when you're playing Peyton Manning

449
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: twice a year, you need someone that's going to get

450
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: in his face and disrupt him from destroying your team.

451
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 2: And you're like, okay, So now when people make draft decisions,

452
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, they clearly know something. They're clear they're

453
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: not just doing it to be like this will piss

454
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 2: the fan base off. They're like drafting for a reason.

455
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: But I remember him telling us that that was like

456
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: the first moment of us learning from him of like, oh, okay,

457
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: you like, you guys know way more than we did.

458
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: And he was like, you just want to keep it

459
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: to that. And that's always how it's been where it's like,

460
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: that's not my business. But man, I love I love

461
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: hearing him talk about it, and whenever I see him,

462
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 2: you know, during the season or offseason, it's always interesting

463
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: to hear him talk his business.

464
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: And I think you're I think you deserve a fair

465
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: amount of credit for the amount of chill with which

466
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: you've handled yourself because I've seen pictures and I would

467
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: have known if somebody, like if something had gone awry,

468
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and like, let me tell you this. My best friend

469
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: from childhood runs a restaurant inside a hotel that you've

470
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: never heard of, and whenever I go there, I act

471
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: unruly like I He's like this, sigh, you can't come

472
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: to my job. He's like, you can't just walk in

473
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the kitchen. The fact that you have maintained your composure

474
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: on the field, like I've seen you on the field

475
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: of the sideline of Dolphins games before the game and

476
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: you have it together, and I believe you deserve a

477
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: lot of credit for that.

478
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just I'm it genuinely is one of

479
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: those things where no matter what happens, it's it's still

480
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: surreal to this day. And the best part is he's

481
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: just warming up. Like the best part is he's.

482
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: Just like, that's what I was gonna get at is

483
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: and we'll get back to let's get back to Niners

484
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: I got but we also have to talk about I

485
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: believe you were at the Broncos game, weren't you.

486
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was at seventy I was at seventy

487
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 2: to twenty.

488
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna discuss that, and that's a part of

489
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: this question here. Like it's hard to even put it

490
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: into words, but he's this culmination of everything that's been

491
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: happening in the league, like the the modern offenses and

492
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: the way with which these young head coaches are changing

493
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: the game. It's like he came around and I'm trying

494
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: to explain, like you explain it in a in a

495
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: stand up way. Right, you have a bunch of people

496
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: doing a certain thing, and all of a sudden, one

497
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: guy You're like, oh, none of us could do it.

498
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: It's he's the like, yeah, it's Jimmy Parto's crowd work, right, Yeah,

499
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: it's He's He's just doing this thing that I think

500
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: five years from now, ten years from now, you're gonna

501
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: be like, this dude changed the entire league. Like he's

502
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: running plays his old boss is running the next week,

503
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: he's like pulling schemes out and then the best coaches

504
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: in the league are like, what's up, Okay, we'll do that.

505
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: He actually showed me that. He actually showed me that.

506
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: I went down to the to the Dolphins Broncos game.

507
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: Katie and I went down there a little early because

508
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 2: Katie was doing Levatard and then we were gonna hang out.

509
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: But we got in Thursday and McDaniel's you know, wife,

510
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 2: Katie was She was like, well, why don't you guys

511
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: come over and watch the game? It was forty nine

512
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: Ers Giants, and so I wore my Niner stuff over there,

513
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: and it was it was like, you know, McDaniel was like, oh,

514
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: cool shirt, and you're like, yeah, I still love him.

515
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: I was like, I know you, but you left. Katie

516
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: even said that, she goes, he's the one that left.

517
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: You should you shouldn't feel bad. But what was interesting

518
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: was like seeing kind of him watch his old team

519
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 2: and assess certain things that maybe that me or you

520
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 2: would never pick up on on a team. But what

521
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 2: I really realized was is that, like he's a culmination

522
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: of your You absolutely nailed it where the NFL is going.

523
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of credit has to go

524
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: not only to Kyle Shanahan, but to Mike Shanahan. Yes,

525
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: I think Mike Shanahan coached in a way where he

526
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: let his assistance, He let his coordinators have their own personality,

527
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 2: be themselves. They didn't have to be this like exact

528
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: replica of what a coach should be. And I think

529
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 2: that paid off of because when you look back to

530
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: those those Washington coaches, that Washington coaching.

531
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: Still that that staff is dominating the league.

532
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: It's insane. You got Kyle, you have Mike, you have

533
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 2: Matt lafleur, you have.

534
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: Our guy, Kevin O'Connell.

535
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell McVeigh. There's like guys where you're just like, oh, well,

536
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: that clearly all that's like when you know, and this

537
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: is this will link back to comedy, when you see

538
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 2: a group. We always talk about the Boston group that

539
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: came up to New York in the nineties. That was

540
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 2: Bill Bird, Dane Cook, Patrise O'Neill, Bobby Kelly, Al del

541
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: Benny and all those guys, and you're like, oh, well,

542
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: that made sense because they come in these like groups.

543
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 2: And I think it happens in groups, and I think

544
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: people have been talking about it for years now, especially

545
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: with McVeagh and Shanahan and the success they've had, and

546
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: then Lafleur in the success he was having in Green Bay.

547
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: And it was interesting because I was kind of sitting

548
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: back being like McDaniel's coming. You can give of all

549
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: the credit you want, but I know, the second McDaniel

550
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: gets a shot, he's coming. That guy has been ready

551
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 2: for this, that guy has helped out so much, and

552
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, which I obviously loved, but it just

553
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: was a matter of time. It was a matter of

554
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 2: time before he got his chance. And to see him

555
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: last year do well and kind of turn around to

556
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 2: and make Miami, you know, a threat in the AFC East.

557
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: And then when I got to go down there in

558
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: the off season when I was at the Daniel Beach

559
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: improv and they were in training camp and I went.

560
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 2: I got to see him before practice and talk to

561
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: him after practice, and I asked him. I was just like,

562
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: how you feeling. He's like, I'm comfortable, And I was like,

563
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: that's going to mean that's going to mean so much

564
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: because McDaniel, you know, like a good comic, McDaniel knows

565
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: where do, what he needs to improve and how to

566
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: improve it. And I think when they went and got

567
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio, a former forty nine er decordinator, former Bronco

568
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: head coach, to kind of control the defense, I think

569
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: it has kind of made McDaniel go into sicico mode

570
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 2: where he's like, now I can run all these crazy

571
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: plays and I can put all these people in and

572
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: you know he's also Italian. The thing that's overlooked about

573
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: McDaniel that no one talks about is how insane of

574
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: a talent evaluator he is. Because now everyone's talking about

575
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: a chain and you're like, yeah, he's been doing that

576
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: for years. He did it in Washington, he did it

577
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, he did it in San Francisco, and now

578
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: he's doing it in Miami where he knows kind of

579
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: what he needs out of a play or Raheem Moster

580
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: killing It is one of my favorite things because after

581
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game in twenty nineteen at McDaniel, I

582
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: went which I got to go do and got to

583
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: go on the field with him after they beat the Packers.

584
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. We were at his house and I

585
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 2: was asking him about Raheem Moster because I saw him

586
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: have a moment with Mostert down on the field, and

587
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: I was like, what did you tell him? And he

588
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 2: was like, I just told him. I always knew this

589
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: is who he was. I always knew this is what

590
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: he was capable of, and I just wanted to give

591
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: him credit for how hard he worked knowing that he

592
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: knew that and saw it out, because there was just

593
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: this really emotional moment and you were like, that is insane.

594
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: But then McDaniel tells me, He's like, I've wanted Mostert

595
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: since he was an undrafted free agent and when I

596
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: was in Atlanta. He's like, I've been trying to get

597
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: Mostert on my squad since the Falcons, and then now

598
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: he here, he is in Miami, and you know, you kind.

599
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: Of have got eleven touchdowns.

600
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got Moster, you got a chan and

601
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: Jeff Wilson Junior, another guy that McDaniel saw in San Francisco.

602
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: If McDaniel and I aren't friends, there'd probably be a

603
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: part of me that's a little upset because when he

604
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 2: left San Francisco, he knew who to take. Yeah, he

605
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: knew who to bring with him to build up this team,

606
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: and it was like so cool to see it. I'm

607
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: so proud of the guy, and I'm very excited for

608
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: the Sunday night football game against the Eagles because after

609
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: they broke brock Perty's elbow, I've just wanted revenge on

610
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: the Eagles by any means.

611
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: Necessary, even if it comes via your friend coaching the Dolphins.

612
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, sometimes you got to have a friend beat

613
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: up your bully.

614
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: If you can't, you got to get it where you

615
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: can get it.

616
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: And you know what, December third is a while away,

617
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: but I'm excited for December third, Niners at Eagles.

618
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: I think he's the king of maximizing what's available. Like

619
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: it's like he looks at what's available to him, the resources.

620
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: It's like all that crazy shit he did with Trent

621
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Williams pulling Trent Williams out, and people don't realize that

622
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: was him. That was him. And so watching what he's

623
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: doing down there with the guys he has, it's just

624
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: it's just incredible.

625
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: I'll give you the example of the playoff game last

626
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: year Dolphins at Bills. He had Skyler Thompson and we

627
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: stayed Chad and I stayed at the hotel connected to him,

628
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: you know, And he came in and messed with us

629
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: before he went to the stadium, and I was like,

630
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: how you feeling, and he goes, I'm gonna be honest.

631
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 2: The first half of the week, I was like a

632
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: little filled with anxiety and panic because I have my

633
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: third string quarterback against arguably the best team in the AFC,

634
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: and then it just clicked, Oh man, this is fun,

635
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: this is fun. And then they go down seventeen, they

636
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: come back, they almost beat the Bills in Buffalo with

637
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: a third string quarterback, and it was like watching him

638
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: and his attitude has helped me with comedy, just be like,

639
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: oh yeah. Sometimes you got to realize, like this is

640
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: all fun. We're all playing with house money, and sometimes

641
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: you forget that if you have a job you love,

642
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: sometimes you get so down and out about tiny things

643
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: that you forget the big picture and you're like, oh,

644
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: this is great, this is unbelievable.

645
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: It's it's absolutely because you I find that all the time.

646
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: We're like, oh my god, the flight or the show,

647
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: like whatever it is, dog or dog.

648
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: Shit in Rochester, that's where I'm going this weekend, and

649
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, no one's gonna show up. And then you

650
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: go You're like, oh, this this is the best job.

651
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: In the world. I get to go, I get to

652
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: go have fun.

653
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: I get to go be a silly boy for five

654
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: shows and pay rent. Like that's fine, I'm fine with.

655
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: That this weekend. Here's here's the problem this. I warned

656
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: everybody there was a reason I put a warning on

657
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: the front of this show is because I knew what

658
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: we were capable of. So let's talk. Let's talk Niners Vikings.

659
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

660
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about your current team,

661
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: but the one moment I have to ask you about, Yeah,

662
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: because in those dark years, you know, in the Abyss,

663
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: when you were right. I think it was right before.

664
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people I know Huntsberger

665
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: and other people are like, they talk about the Singletary

666
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: years as though they were years they spent a lot

667
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: on a mountain.

668
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: Can't win with them, can't win with them? I love it, dude, Singletary.

669
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 2: Singletary does not get enough credit for his talent evaluation.

670
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, for building the roster that Harbaugh ran.

671
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: With him and Mike Nolan mm hmm. Not my future

672
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: father in law, but the former head coach of the

673
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: forty nine ers went out and got pieces that Harball

674
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: was able to come in and kind of with Vic Fangio,

675
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: put in a pile and go like Oh Navarro, Bowman,

676
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: Patrick Willis, Dante Whitner, all these guys that could go.

677
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: Justin Smith getting him from the Bengals, drafting a young

678
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 2: Alden Smith, getting all these guys that you were like,

679
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 2: oh my god, oh my god, we're winning. Like it

680
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: wasn't like like Kyle Shanahan, it was zero to eight.

681
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: First season, you put in Jimmy G. He rips five. Okay,

682
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: Jimmy G's the real deal. Let's give him a huge contract,

683
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,719
Speaker 2: and that kind of built that was able to carry them.

684
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 2: Moment with Harbaugh, it was literally he came in and

685
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: we started winning and no one expected it. Yeah, all

686
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Frank Gore is running well with under

687
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: Greg Roman's offense and Alex Smith is a game manager

688
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: and he's doing really well, but this defense is just

689
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: killing people and just shutting people down. That was like,

690
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: oh my god, we're oh my god, oh my god,

691
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 2: we're back. Week one. The first game Harbaugh one was

692
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks, who had just kind of had us

693
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: for like since since the divisions had been realigned. It

694
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: was just like the Seahawks had had our number. And

695
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: then you just come in and you beat Pete Carroll

696
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: for the first and you're like, all right, let's go.

697
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: And it was just that kind of thing. It must

698
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: have felt the same way you guys did when you

699
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: got Farv.

700
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: And so now let's bring all worlds together. Yeah, because

701
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: right before you guys went on that run and built

702
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: we had it is what we felt like because we

703
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: had Adrian Peterson. We had we had gotten Steve Hutchison,

704
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: probably the most underrated sign in maybe the last three

705
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: forty years in the NFL. We put a Hall of

706
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: Famer at left guard. You have this unbelievable defense that

707
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: doesn't allow anyone to get a hundred years.

708
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 2: By the way, you guys took him from Seattle.

709
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, we helped you out of the.

710
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 2: Reason Sean Alexander fell off.

711
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, and so and then you stacked Farv

712
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: on top of it. But everybody kind of forgets that.

713
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: The first couple games of the far season we won,

714
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: we were playing okay, but it just didn't look right.

715
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: And no matter how many people want to deny it,

716
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: there were people that were like, is this the right decision?

717
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: And then you came to Minnesota.

718
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: I got I remember that game and it was a

719
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 2: it was a fight, and it was like, okay, we're

720
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: in it. I remember it because it was before Sunday ticket.

721
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: I was at a bar and I was still drinking

722
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: and Farve hit your tight end in the back of

723
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 2: the end zone.

724
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a tight end. It was it was

725
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: Greg greg Lewis. No, it was a guy that we'd

726
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: we had signed I think that week Greg Lewis. It

727
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: was far Greg Lewis, and it was it was You're right,

728
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: it was back of the end zone. It was toe touch.

729
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: I remember being in the bar being like, that wasn't

730
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: a catch. I remember screaming that at the TV, being like,

731
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 2: that's not No.

732
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: One thought it was a catch. No, Like we all

733
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: got excited, but we're like, well, here comes the replay

734
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: to ruin it.

735
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I remember that run and then I

736
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 2: think you guys were the favorite against the Saints, right.

737
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: Don't want to do it. I'd like to move on.

738
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the happiness that was

739
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: that moment.

740
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: It was one of the greatest MC Championship games of

741
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: all time. I'm sorry, it just was. It was like

742
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: no dog in the fight. I watched that game at

743
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: a bar with Joe List and Nate Bargetzi and we

744
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 2: sat there watching it and Nate this is how it

745
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: always worked back in the day, when we were all

746
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: out drinking. I would sit in the middle, and inevitably

747
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 2: Nate would find a point and Joe would find a

748
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: point and they would argue about it and I would

749
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: have to sit there like a referee and break it up.

750
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: But I remember, I think it was I think it

751
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 2: was Nate that was like, this is the greatest NYC

752
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: Championship game of all time. And then it just started

753
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: a conversation where you know.

754
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: We never feel that way here because of the pain

755
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,959
Speaker 1: associated with it, But if you're able to step away

756
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: from it and you go all these turnovers, all this

757
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: crazy back and forth, they drive, they drive down. I've

758
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: said this on the show before. When Farv through that

759
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: that pass to Sidney Rice on the last drive and

760
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: he took it off the field, I made you're not

761
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: gonna understand this with your lineage. But I had this

762
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: moment where I literally in my head, I didn't verbalize it.

763
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: I was like, we're going to the super Bowl, yeah,

764
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: and and then to get to twelve minute.

765
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: I just I'm gonna tell you right now. I had

766
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 2: that same exact feeling when my beautiful fiance got me

767
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: tickets to the twenty nineteen Super Bowl forty nine Ers

768
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: Chiefs Oh we were up by ten. I really was, like,

769
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: I think McDaniel's about to win a super Bowl. By

770
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 2: the way, just for future reference, I will never in

771
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: my life say McDaniel's gonna win a Super Bowl until

772
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: there is zero on the clock and they are lifting

773
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: him up because twice now sigh, twice Falcons versus the

774
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 2: Patriots in the first half. At the halftime, I go, cool,

775
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: McDaniel's gonna get a ring. Patriots came back, Chiefs Niners.

776
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm not saying. So You're never hearing that out of

777
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 2: me until it happens, and until I know the game

778
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: is over and the confetti is until he is in

779
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: a shower of confetti, will I that's the next time

780
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: I will say that.

781
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: That's welcome to the psyche of a Vikings fan. Oh

782
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: my god, that is That is how we live all

783
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: the time and forever.

784
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: I mean, especially with ninety eight and then yeah, the

785
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 2: nine NFC Championship game.

786
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't, I don't. We can talk about well,

787
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: we'll just keep moving. Let's talk about we were at

788
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: Montreal together.

789
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty eleven.

790
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about if we're at Montreal together. And I

791
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: I like you said to me, like someday I'm gonna

792
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: be the voice of the NFL Network's top one hundred

793
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: players that have been like, hey, guys, you know Dan

794
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: is insane.

795
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's out of my mind.

796
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: That's insane.

797
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. I owed all to former NFL Films

798
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 2: producer Paul Manusky. I probably butchered his last name, but

799
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: I just know him as Paul he is. He no

800
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: longer works in NFL films, which is a crime. It

801
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 2: truly is a crime, because he was one of the

802
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: best producers I've ever worked with on anything. And he

803
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: was a fan of the Bonfire on Sirius XM, which

804
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: is still Monday through Thursday five to seven pm with

805
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 2: Big Jafferson and Robert Kelly. I'll still plug the show.

806
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: Serious Serious XM Faction Talk one oh three. He was like, hey, Man,

807
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 2: would you have any interest in doing some like voiceover

808
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 2: for NFL films? And I was like, that's all I've

809
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: ever wanted to do. I would love to do that.

810
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 2: Besides comedy, all I've ever wanted to do was those

811
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: recap videos where you're like and the forty nine ers

812
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 2: knew that that they would be different from the rest,

813
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 2: and he said, listen, we're doing NF Top one hundred

814
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: for NFL Films. It's gonna be on NFL network, which

815
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: you want to do it? And I was like, yeah, dude,

816
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 2: that sounds so good. He's like, well, we got Wendell

817
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: Pierce from the Wire doing like the longer stuff, but

818
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: we need someone that's like intermitted, like in between those.

819
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 2: We need you. And I was like, sign me up.

820
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 2: And I've been doing it for seven seasons now. Yeah.

821
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 2: What's crazy is now I find out the list and

822
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 2: I tell McDaniel how many dolphins got on it. Now

823
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm going to tell you who's on it

824
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: and where they're at so you can tell them because

825
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 2: so they'll know before. But my friend Chad Hard, who

826
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 2: I brought up, was sitting at home watching it. This

827
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: is like twenty and sixteen, twenty seventeen, and there's a

828
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: clip where I talk about the Davonte Freeman and this

829
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: is when he was with the Falcons, and I go like,

830
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 2: number thirty two's Davonte Freeman, whose ability to get away

831
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: from the and then it cuts to McDaniel coaching up

832
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: Davonta Freeman on the Falcons and Chad sent me and mcdanie,

833
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: you know the clip and he's like, it goes from

834
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: SODA's voice over to you coaching. He was like, I

838
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the moment where you're like, that's insane

00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: time and the suck at ESPN.

849
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: I always thought I was a hard worker, and I

850
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: remember the first day at ESPN, I did the night show.

851
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: She did the morning show, and I walked in from

852
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: essentially my shift, and she was sitting like show long

853
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: put out. Her show had gone out hours ago. She

854
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: was sitting on the floor of a mutual friend, the

855
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 1: incredible Steve Bray band.

856
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love Steve Brayband and shout out Ashley Brayband

857
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: and Ashley.

858
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Both of them were Ashley, both of them incredibly skilled

859
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: at ESPN.

860
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: Ashley was ended up being Katie's producer on Always Late

861
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: and Steve is now with the WWE.

862
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: Which is, yeah, that's a big win for you. And

863
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: so the I remember she was sitting on the floor

864
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: like just ripping ideas, and I, you know, it was

865
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: like when you walk into a green room and you

866
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: see like and I always knew she was talented and

867
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: I was a fan of hers, and I was excited

868
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: to meet her. But you know when you walk into

869
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: a green room and you're like, oh, is Chappelle in

870
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: there just working on his bits before the show, and

871
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: you're like, god, damn it. You're like, I am gonna

872
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: have to work, dude. She's so good.

873
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 2: I opened for Ali Wong at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas,

874
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: And this is right after Baby Cobra came out, and

875
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 2: I've known ally for a while and I opened for

876
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: Ali and she rips it like absolutely destroys. And then

877
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 2: after the show, I'm like, oh, you want to hang out?

878
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: And she just goes and listens to the show and

879
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: tries to add tags to the bits because she was

880
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 2: doing a second show and I was like, yeah, I don't.

881
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 2: I don't work hard. I don't work hard at all.

882
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: And you know what's funny is Katie's That is absolutely

883
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: Katie's personality. She is one of the hardest workers I know,

884
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 2: Like she is like a She's got like the mindset

885
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: of a hunting dog where you're like, give her a

886

906
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: There's been moments where she says stuff where I go like,

907
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 2: you know, that's like a full bit, right, and she's like, oh.

908
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,960

911
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,479
Speaker 1: start filming and it was one of those things where

912
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: everyone every response she had and everything she said, I

913
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: was like, should I be a comic? Is that what

914
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: I should do with my life? Yeah, I'd probably be

915
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 1: a teacher from now on. She was so funny.

916
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: Oh she's hilarious, and it's it's like one of the

917
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: greatest things is finding someone like her to be in

918
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 2: love with. That I'm just like, oh, you're the you.

920
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the best. This just rules, this

921
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: is and also you'll enjoy this because you know her

922
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: one final McDaniel story. I knew he was leaving the

923
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: Niners right through him and his wife. I kind of

924
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: knew that they were going to explore him being a

925
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: head coach. And he was in the kitchen and Katie goes,

926
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 2: I go, I think McDaniel's leaving the Niners, and she goes, oh,

927
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: that's so awesome. Just don't end up in the AFC

928
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: East because she's a Pats fan. And I was like, yeah, yeah.

929
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 2: And then he got hired by the Dolphins and Katie goes,

930
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 2: no Dolphins stuff, no Dolphin stuff in this house, and

931
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 2: I was like, all right. And so i've over the

932
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: past two seasons, I've able to begin in three items

933
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 2: of merch. I have a T shirt, a sweatshirt, and

934
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: I just ordered a new sweatshirt because it's really cool.

935
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 2: But at the we were talking about the Broncos Dolphins game.

936
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: That felt so good to watch because I remember when

937
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: McDaniel knew he was going to leave the forty nine ers,

938
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 2: the Broncos wanted nothing to do with him, no interview,

939
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 2: and he was a ball boy there. He was like,

940
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 2: it made the most sense for h him to go

941
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 2: back and turn that organization around, and they didn't. And

942
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 2: then he hung seventy seventy and then he took a knee.

943
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: He still showed grace even though he had the knife

944
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 2: at their throat and he removed it. I love it.

945
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: I love it. I told my clup line after the game,

946
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 2: I wrote, Broncos, that's gonna be the best breakfast they've

947
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: ever had in their lives. Then they put the gun

948
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 2: to the to the liquor store guy said, I was like,

949
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,919
Speaker 2: that's gonna be the best breakfast. You just save them,

950
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 2: you know, advanced Joseph, that's gonna be the best breakfast

951
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: of his life. But yeah, it's insane. It's like, but

952
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 2: forty nine ers Vikings, I know we got to go.

953
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 2: I love Kirk Cousins. I love him. I know how

954
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: good he is because of how much McDaniel and shanahan

955
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: have talked about him and his time in Washington and

956
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 2: how much they enjoyed coaching him, and how great he is.

957
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: Like there's always that rumor that Cousins that shanahan or

958
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 2: McDaniel are gonna go for cousins. I think that's a

959
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 2: sign that you got a keeper right there, when you're like, oh,

960
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: this guy stays even killed. Even with your record right now,

961
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 2: I don't you guys are still a threat. You're still

962
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 2: a threat. I think there's a lot of parts of

963
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: the Vikings team that's like have been building over years,

964
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 2: and I think similar to the Lions, I think the

965
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 2: Vikings are kind of that upnext mentality. I think the

966
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 2: Bears are in disarray. I think the Packers are. They

967
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 2: have to do that reset like they did after.

968
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: Cut them down, cut him down, and.

969
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: It's like that Monday night football game is gonna It's

970
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting to see how the forty nine ers

971
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 2: respond after losing to the Browns and how comfortable the

972
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: Vikings are just in general, playing a very good team,

973
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: playing a very solid team.

974
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be It's always some fans want, you know,

975
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: stack w's that's the point. Get the best, get the

976
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: best you know place you can in the postseason, then

977
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: see what happens. But I always love the moments when

978
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: you get to see where your current version of your

979
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: team team stacks up against the best team or one

980
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: of the best teams in the league. It's one of

981
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: those moments. So I think it's gonna be really fun.

982
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: And I think this is like, this is the part

983
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: of having a good team that should make you nervous,

984
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: but it's also kind of a cool thing where you're like, yeah, man,

985
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: they're coming for it every Vikings an Vikings are going

986
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 2: to show up and really try to take the Niners

987
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 2: out because the Niners, I mean, I saw what it

988
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: did for the Browns. They've had a whole week of like,

989
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 2: we beat the Niners, and you're like, so it meant

990
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 2: it means a lot for teams to beat the forty

991
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 2: nine ers right now. So I'm just hoping that doesn't.

992
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: Happen last thing we do. I know you're gonna hate it.

993
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: I need a score prediction.

994
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 2: I love you, and I want you to know that

995
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: before I say this, I love you.

996
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

997
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be thirty one fourteen forty nine ers.

998
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I also love you, and I did think

999
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense would show up a little better than

1000
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking, because I thought it would be Niners fourteen,

1001
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: Vikings one hundred and thirty eight. Dan, It's nice to

1002
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: have you, buddy, I'm saying.

1003
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: It will be close. It will be close till the

1004
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: third quarter, and then the forty nine ers will find

1005
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: a way to pull away. That's that's what I think totally.

1006
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't care about that at all. It's my show.
