But he was a big 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.840 time boxer for many, many years back in the day. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:25.160 Oh. 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.720 Not only was he a legendary boxer, but you're right, 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.959 his business acumen was on point. He got a grill, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.480 and as the story goes, hul Cogan, what did he get, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.920 like a blender or something like that that sucked. 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.479 Yeah, the famous story Hulk Hogan. They supposedly contacted hul Cogan. First, 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.800 there's a couple of different versions of the story. One 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.880 of them was they called hull Cogan, he didn't answer 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.800 his phone because he was picking up his kids or 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.280 something like that. And then there's another version where they said, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.320 all right, you can either do the grill or you 0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.960 can do like a meatball maker, and he he chose 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.280 the meatball maker, the whole Comania meatball maker which never which. 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:05.840 Never made it. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.880 And then they called George Foreman up, and Foreman's like, yeah, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.800 but Foreman had done a lot of commercials, like he 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.919 was a as you mentioned, he was a big time 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:13.519 sales guy. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.200 He was in a lot of different crap back. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.679 Yeah, he was a great hitch Man. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.480 Yeah, he did a lot of like McDonald's, and he 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.320 used to point at the camera. Yeah, he had that 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.280 infectious smile too. And did he name all his kids 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.720 George and what. 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.959 He sure did? Yeah, George one through fourteen. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.000 Yeah he had. He had a lot of kids. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.079 I'm not sure how many, but yeah, they were all numbered. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.079 There were a lot. 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.920 No it was I don't think it was fourteen. But 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.720 he definitely enjoyed himself. And then he ended up making 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.880 because of that George Foreman grill. He ended up making 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.960 hundreds of millions of dollars. I think I remember the 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:53.680 story in the late nineties he wrote over the use 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:57.480 of his name, and at the time, I think it 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.480 was like one hundred and thirty something million dollars that 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.119 George Foreman got. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.480 In fact, you do a little type here this sake. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.840 No no no, no, no, no, no, no no no. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.919 I actually somewhere in the garage, I have a deluxe 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.040 George Foreman grill. 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.840 Oh not just the basic bitch. 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.960 You've you've gone above and beyond, all right, so it 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.280 says here, Yeah, Foreman got one hundred and thirty seven 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:32.120 million dollars in nineteen ninety nine, he got. So let's 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.840 do some malar math on that. Let's see, so I'll 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:40.840 basically hold on sic. So if inflation since nineteen ninety nine, uh, 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.920 it's gone up ninety one percent essentially, so uh it 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.960 was one hundred and thirty seven it's like or two 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.720 point six million in today's dollars. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:53.240 He got. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.040 Now, is that is that Foreman grill you have still 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.600 in the box, Danny? Or is that is that game used? 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:01.560 It's still in the box, but it's light used. When 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.720 I lived alone, I made a lot of turkey burgers 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.040 with it. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.880 Okay, that was your go to back in the day. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.560 I burned out the original and I remember finding that 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:16.200 bigger George Foreman grill the top like pivots pivot Hey, 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.719 those were great because remember they drained the grease out 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.880 into the grease catcher. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.720 Yeah. And the guy that actually invented him. I was 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:23.800 reading a story about it. 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.600 Last night when we found out that George Foreman had died. 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.000 And the guy that actually came up with it was 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.400 this guy named Michael Baum. 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.120 I believe was his name A b O. 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.120 E Hm, I'm not trying to pronounce that, but he 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:38.880 was the creator of it and he was just like 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.800 a gadget guy. But he didn't get any kind of 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.360 money out of it compared to what George Foreman got 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.680 out of it. But he this guy would just futs 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.119 around with like lawnmowers and snowmobiles and all that stuff, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.600 and he's the guy that actually created the product, and 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.520 then George. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.919 Foreman ended up taking it to the new level. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.200 The other thing that I learned about that Danny, which 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.200 is great, is this is a testimonial now that we've 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.040 lost George Foreman. Though it's a testimonial to the power 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:10.960 of the infomercial because according to what I was reading, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.840 the Foreman Grill when it came out was not really selling. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.840 It wasn't all that popular when they first debuted back 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:23.600 in the day. And what had happened was Foreman popped 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.000 up on QVC. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.440 I think that's still around. It was a. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:32.440 Shopping QVC still there. You could make like five payments 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:33.360 for an item. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.159 Yeah, exactly, So early on people were on buying the 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.240 Foreman Grill. And then Foreman made his first appearance on 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:46.280 television on the Shopping that We're QBC and just did 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.160 the pitch and all that, and he's. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.919 So perfect for that with his smile, and all the 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.479 old ladies watching around the country. 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.680 They say the aha moment was they actually used the 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.320 grill on the TV show and the hosts were mosing 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.120 with each other and then Foreman just grabbed. At one 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.719 point he picked up the burger and ate it. I 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.600 rotate nuts right out. Yeah, as it was, We've been 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.320 made and that apparently lit up the phone lines and 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.640 people could not get enough of them ever since then. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:20.400 So there's actually an indoor outdoor electric grill by Foreman. 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.920 Oh yeah, there's there's all nonstick grill griddle and it's 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.679 on a stand. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.640 Oh is that right? Okay, that's like the next generation. 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.200 That's a next yeah exactly. Yeah, that's cool though. I 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.560 want one of those from my patio. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:31.800 Now. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.360 You remember the original name was the Lean Mean Fat 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.720 Reducing Grilling Machine. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.600 Uh yeah, it was came in that white box I remember. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.839 Yeah, the George Foreman Lean Mean, Lean Mean Fat Reduced 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.320 seeing Grilling Machine, and they just shortened it to the 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.320 George Foreman Grill. It's estimated not here, it's dead. He 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.960 made over five hundred million dollars off that grill. Oh 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:57.760 my gosh, five hundred million and hal Cogan maybe sold 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.359 like seven meatball makers, but does you know, maybe a 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:01.119 blender or something. 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.520 But five hundred million off that grill? God, how about that? Wow? 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.599 Wow? That crazy? Yeah. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.720 And you know, George, I don't know what did him 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.480 in George at age seventy six. But how about the 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:17.360 fact Don King is still kicking at ninety three and 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.160 we lost George here at seventy six. But Don King 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.280 still out there doing his thing and these as far 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.200 as I know, he's in decent. Hell, he lived in 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:32.040 Florida and all that. But yeah, George Foreman, rest in peace. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.240 One of the great characters back when boxing matted right. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.360 Just was a big deal. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.160 And he was in some massive five We're mostly talking 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.480 about the Grill because you know, it's the grill, but 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:48.600 there were some amazing moments there. And he fought Joe 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.280 Frazier in the Fight of the Century in nineteen seventy one, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.840 and it was also he was the guy who fought 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.160 Muhammad Ali. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.480 And you know, a. 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.560 Bunch of these guys back in the day, so two 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.960 of the most iconic boxing events of all time. Joe 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.040 Frazier in the Fight of the Century and then Muhammad 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.400 Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle. Has there been 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.720 a better name for a fight than the Rumble in 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.880 the Jungle? That has got to be top top five, 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.520 top three, top two all time boxing. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:19.800 Yeah. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:23.280 Yeah, And this was years before Tom Brady and some 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:28.200 older players, other older players who were still starring on 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.560 the field. I remember my grandmother pointing at him out 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.560 all the time, saying, see, just because you're old, doesn't 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.199 mean your life's over. He was kind of known as 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.000 the old guy that could still do it. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.200 Yeah. I remember when he came back. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.960 I was just starting my bloviating career and people were like, oh, 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:46.920 he mean, he's been out of boxing for too long 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.520 form and he's not gonna be able to come back. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.680 He sat out like ten years and then came back 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:56.240 and became the heavyweight championship. A toss up question. Toss 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.720 up question, Danny g better fight name the Rumble in 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.280 the or the Thrilla in Manila, But that those gotta 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.199 be the top two, right, have to be the top. 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.440 Ah Thrilla in Manila. Just I could see the poster 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.080 in my mind. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:11.120 I know. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.120 But Rumble in the Jungle, you know, it's like the 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:14.800 Jim Rome Show from nineteen ninety. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:16.280 That one sounds racist. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:17.400 Racist. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.959 Back then, you could get away with that. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.880 Back when was that nineteen seventy four or whatever that 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.080 fight was back in the day. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.960 Man rip Man definitely a huge, huge legend there. 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:29.840 Yeah. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.439 I did chat with mister Foreman a few times my 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.880 back in my younger days when I'd go to Vegas 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.280 for fights or whatever, back when boxing was still big, 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.480 and they'd fly everyone in and it was like a 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.080 big spectacle and they'd bring it back all the boxing 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.559 legend would be a wandering around and all that, and 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.760 so I do. I did run into Forman a few 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.600 times back in the day, and very nice man. Not 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.880 quite the same impact on me as Don King, though, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.240 And I've told the Don King story many times. The 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.080 boxing promoter, well I remember that story. Yeah, he just 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.199 butted my biscuits. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:01.360 Man. 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.280 I thought I was the greatest thing in the world 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.000 and he just couldn't say enough things about me. And 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:07.800 then he walked over to the next booth and said 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:12.800 the same exact thing about the other gas. So it's like, okay, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.840 on this fifth hour podcast we have well, we just 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.040 did the whole tribute to the grill Master, George Former. 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.600 We got the Merry Go Round, the Catered Affair, pulls 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.480 cats and kittens, and we'll see what else we have 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.440 time for, but we'll start with the Merry Go Round. 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.360 And did not have the live radio show overnight into 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.679 Saturday morning here because it's a day of rest other 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.920 than this podcast, So we missed out.

And I'm a big Jameis Winston fan. Do 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:55.280 I think Jameis Winston's good? 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:55.400 No? 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:57.080 Do I like Jameis Winston. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.920 Yeah, he's thirty one, he's He's what I've said you 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.600 want to have. If you're a team like the Giants, 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.920 you want at least fun bad. You don't want bad bad, 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.240 you want fun bad. He's f b He's fun bad. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:11.600 Jameis won. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:13.840 He doesn't want a guy that's going to tease you 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:15.720 all the way to the start of the fourth quarter 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.679 before he throws two back breaking interceptions. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.200 Yeah, he'll throw his two pick sixes at some moment 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.920 and break your heart, but they'll be games. Jameis Wins 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.839 is a one man band. He'll have some games where 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.600 he throws five touchdown passes. He'll have some games where 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:30.760 he throws five interceptions. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:31.480 Now, it doesn't. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.280 Guarantee just because he's signed with the Giants obviously does 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.640 not guarantee that they're not gonna go out. And that's 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.320 some other other quarterback. And the big story from yesterday 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:47.760 was Aaron Rogers actually visiting western Pennsylvania, breaking the silence. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.280 Rogers leaving the beaches of Malibu to go hang out 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.000 at the confluence there in Pittsburgh. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:57.480 Yeah, supposedly he had thumbed his nose at Pittsburgh, but 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.360 then the Vikings told him not interesting, and suddenly he's 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.680 on a plane over to Pittsburgh. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.920 Yeah, so he met with some of the big shots 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.480 in Pittsburgh. The I read it was a six hour situation. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.840 What do they talk about for six hours? They have 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.160 lunch for that lunch is about thirty five mine? 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.959 Right, when you did like a radio interview in your 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:19.520 early years, Yeah. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.600 Well could that go one hour? Two hours at the most? 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:23.240 Yeah? 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.840 Normally what would happen is you'd meet with the program director, 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.960 they'd walk you around the station, to show you the station, 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.160 and then you'd meet with them for whatever and that 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.000 was it. Or maybe you'd go to lunch with them 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.679 and then you wouldn't even see the station and that's that, 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.000 you know. Ben I had one program director. He brought 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.959 me to his house after the lunch because he had 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.360 to pick something up. And then he was like in 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.439 there forever and he came back out at his front 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.400 door and he said, come on in for a little bit. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.520 His wife was in there, and maybe early twenties, he 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:53.880 was a young program director. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.080 They were in there smoking weed. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.000 Smoke weedy day, just chilling man, just having a good time. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.920 And I was like, man, this, uh, this interview is 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:03.360 going to go. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:09.080 Long app after he is done. But yeah, there was a. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.120 That would have been Kooper Op's dream job. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.120 God, he'd be like the assistant PD if he worked there. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.960 But I remember the Uh. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.160 There was one station I worked at my early days 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:27.320 before Fox Sports Radio, and in the afternoon, the program 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:32.960 director interviewed a guy who was on television in LA 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.240 for a job while the host was on the air 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.440 down the hall, like interviewed his replacement to take his 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.640 job while he was in the building. 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.040 That was very ouch. 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:48.640 He would have gotten away with it, but somebody spotted 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.600 the guy who he was interviewing and put you know, 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.240 two and two together and realized what are we doing here? 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.160 So yeah, Rogers, I mean that would have been a 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:58.000 great monologue. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:59.600 I mean, we'll see. He hasn't signed yet, so we'll 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:00.400 see if he's signs. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.079 You got to think he wants to play that it 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.280 makes a lot of sense. Played season number twenty one 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.680 in Pittsburgh and they say that. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:10.600 Yeah deal. 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:12.960 I was going to say, just to back up to 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.479 the Giants. You're right, they're going to draft a young quarterback. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.440 So whether or not that young quarterback is ready to 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.680 play or not, Jamis is a really good commodity to 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.760 have as your backup. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.360 If that's how it's going to roll. 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.720 Yeah, I like Jamis will be great and the New 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.520 York media will embrace him and he'll be wonderful for 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:33.480 the tabloids. 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.440 And oh yeah, you saw him at the super Bowl 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.320 with that microphone. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.840 And another win for Sequon Barkley. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.040 Remember Barkley at the Super Bowl at that opening night, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.680 which used to be Media Day before it was bastardized 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:49.880 by the NFL. They Barkley asked or James Winston asked 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.240 Barkley where he should go, and Barkley said, yeah, or 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.760 so he was a Southsayer even before winning the Super Bowl. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.880 And I you mentioned the Viking's not interested in Aaron Rodgers. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.960 Did you see they had discussions with Ryan Tannehill. I 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:07.960 thought he was tired. I didn't even realize. 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.200 Oh, I thought that that was an old post from 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.080 Jordan Schultz from three years ago. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.720 Yeah, what is that, Ryan Tannehill? I mean, you go 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.440 down to the cemetery and dig his ass up. My god, 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:23.640 Ryan tanne are you kidding me? Ryan Tannehill is the guy. 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:27.240 What are you doing? I mean, it's very bizarre. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.360 It's like, well, George, the Vikings are like, well, JJ 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:31.320 McCarthy's a guy. 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.360 But then yeah, well that's why they don't want an 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.200 enigma like Rogers sucking all the air out of that 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.360 stadium there in Minnesota. They'd rather have, like, you know, 0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.680 somebody steady and maybe reliable. That's not Santa Hill, but 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.200 somebody just like a steady Joe Flacco type backup for 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:50.160 a young McCarthy. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.280 Hey, well, Joe Flacco's available if you want. 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.520 And there was a rumor one of our listeners in 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:59.560 Minnesota emailed me a story from some Viking website fan 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:07.360 website I've never heard of that claimed, oh the Chargers justin. 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.760 Herbert Supply the deal was done according to two sources. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.240 Yeah, I don't know about that one. Methinks probably not. 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.119 Methinks unlikely. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:18.440 The deal was if. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.280 As somebody who like anonymously emailed into that Vikings show. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.440 Oh well, those are always good clickbait. Hey, you know, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.680 every once in a while, they're right, right, every once 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.240 in a while, the right. There was a guy the 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.280 other day this week who was on a flight to 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:36.600 Boston and said, Hey, Stefan Diggs is on my flight. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.880 He's going to New England to meet with the Patriots. 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.240 And the Internet was like, oh, yeah, you're full of crap, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.120 what a loser, you're trying to get cloud. And then 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.400 like two hours later it was yeah, Stefan Diggs is 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.440 going to meet with the Patriots. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.160 You know. So I really do get that. 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.120 Stuff right every now and again, but I would be 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.960 be surprised. However, we know Jim Harbaugh, a Michigan man, 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.800 loved loved him some JJ McCarthy, and it's not outrageous 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:08.280 to think that the Harbor after spending a year coaching 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.439 Justin Herbert might think this guy is like more of 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.720 a surfer than a quarterback, and that maybe I should 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.200 go get my guy who I know and J J. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:16.719 McCarthy. 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.840 It would be fun. Do I think it's going to happen. No, 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.200 but it's fun to think about. Those kinds of things 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.240 are kind of cool to toss about. But turning the 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:25.879 page on that, I didn't want to mention. You know, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.600 this is the Saturday Pod Life of Malar, Life of 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:33.240 Danny g. So we had a small shindig last weekend, 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:38.000 small shindig family, family, no friends, just family and a 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.000 good little get together at Malor Mansion. Good to see 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.240 people hadn't seen in some times. Some people hadn't seen 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.680 in many many months. And uh and it was a 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:51.000 catered affair and what catering company did? We use craft 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.880 services the same as the movie studio, though we use 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.879 the Malar craft services. The menu cheese, steak, and the 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.760 I was a lie cook. I was a line cook 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.359 that it made the food for a lot of people, 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.639 and I had my I was enjoying it because I 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.280 didn't have to socialize because I was on the griddle 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.240 so I just worked the griddle and uh, and the 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.080 people did come out try to talk to me. I 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.280 think they wanted bigger portions of food. That's why they 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.159 came out to talk to me. 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.680 And what are you? What are you making? What's going on? 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.560 But that I felt a little bit like this guy 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.640 named blind Willy. Remember blind Willie called from Florida. 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.600 Oh, I do remember Brian blind Willy. He used to 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.160 call Klay Travis's show too. 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.640 Yeah. I don't know what happened to blind Willy. 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.440 But I want to say, unfortunately, he's probably not with us. 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:38.360 You think blind Willy's checked out whom. 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.920 Yeah, he was older back when he used to call. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.280 That was right before COVID, So yeah, I don't know 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:45.760 what happened. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:47.720 But he I think he worked at like an Applebee's 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:48.520 or something like that. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.440 It was some restaurant and he was We always thought 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.919 it was funny because he's a cook and he couldn't see, 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:56.760 you know, he was liked he was legally blind, and 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.160 he he would make food for people. But I felt 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:04.000 like blind Willy. It was a busy, busy night, mission accomplished. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.399 Everyone seemed to eat, drink and be merry. So we 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:06.720 did that. 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.520 I picture you looking like that cook on You can't 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:10.800
