00:00:36,266 --> 00:00:41,226
Speaker 1: Kickoff show on Sunday mornings at eleven am Eastern. But

7
00:00:41,506 --> 00:00:43,946
Speaker 1: my pride and enjoy right now this podcast, and we've

8
00:00:43,986 --> 00:00:48,266
Speaker 1: got a good guest today, Joe McHale's gonna tain us hilarious.

9
00:00:48,266 --> 00:00:51,186
Speaker 1: He's also on about sixteen different shows for Fox right now.

10
00:00:52,946 --> 00:00:55,866
Speaker 1: We're gonna get mchaelan in a moment. But before we

11
00:00:55,906 --> 00:01:01,546
Speaker 1: talk about his career, his thew I want to talk

12
00:01:01,586 --> 00:01:06,026
Speaker 1: about the Bears and what went down those twenty four

13
00:01:06,026 --> 00:01:10,266
Speaker 1: hours Thursday and Friday and break it down and then

14
00:01:10,346 --> 00:01:12,706
Speaker 1: kind of take it from there, all right, So they

15
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:17,146
Speaker 1: lose in historic fashion, crazy, you know, discombobulated play. And

16
00:01:17,186 --> 00:01:19,826
Speaker 1: then Mattibraflus was a press conference afterwards, and you could

17
00:01:19,826 --> 00:01:21,826
Speaker 1: tell he's still frazzled by the whole thing, and he's like,

18
00:01:22,106 --> 00:01:24,866
Speaker 1: I liked what we had. I liked it. So it's

19
00:01:24,906 --> 00:01:26,866
Speaker 1: like the third or fourth different press conference they lost

20
00:01:26,906 --> 00:01:28,666
Speaker 1: at the end where eber Flus has had some head

21
00:01:28,706 --> 00:01:32,066
Speaker 1: scratching stuff, and then we turned the TV off because

22
00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:35,346
Speaker 1: that Cowboys Giants game. I don't know. That's when you

23
00:01:35,386 --> 00:01:37,586
Speaker 1: eat and then you watch the Packers game at night

24
00:01:37,626 --> 00:01:40,786
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, what's gonna happen tomorrow in Chicago.

25
00:01:41,826 --> 00:01:44,266
Speaker 1: Here's my perspective on the whole thing. I'm hosting Good

26
00:01:44,266 --> 00:01:46,986
Speaker 1: Morning Football Friday morning, but I got an alert saying

27
00:01:47,466 --> 00:01:49,986
Speaker 1: iber Flus is talking to the media at nine am

28
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:53,586
Speaker 1: Central time. Good Morning Football is from eight to ten Eastern,

29
00:01:53,706 --> 00:01:57,146
Speaker 1: So as our show is ending, I knew there was

30
00:01:57,146 --> 00:02:00,946
Speaker 1: gonna be an eber Flus press conference. I said to

31
00:02:01,666 --> 00:02:04,786
Speaker 1: the producers, I said, guys, keep an eye on that.

32
00:02:05,786 --> 00:02:09,026
Speaker 1: If they have the press conference, it means he's kept

33
00:02:09,026 --> 00:02:10,626
Speaker 1: his job. They're not going to bring him out there

34
00:02:10,626 --> 00:02:12,426
Speaker 1: and trot him out there to do a media session

35
00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:15,106
Speaker 1: the next day after that loss and then fire him.

36
00:02:15,466 --> 00:02:17,706
Speaker 1: But if there's an alert at some point that that

37
00:02:17,826 --> 00:02:21,106
Speaker 1: media session has been moved has been pushed back, he's fired.

38
00:02:21,426 --> 00:02:25,266
Speaker 1: He's done. So I'm watching the clock like a hawk,

39
00:02:26,066 --> 00:02:28,626
Speaker 1: and I'm checking my emails and all my texts to

40
00:02:28,626 --> 00:02:33,146
Speaker 1: see if the Matt Eberflus Friday morning media session is

41
00:02:33,186 --> 00:02:35,666
Speaker 1: being moved. I have done this for a long time.

42
00:02:36,546 --> 00:02:39,306
Speaker 1: They do not trot the coach out there for a

43
00:02:39,346 --> 00:02:42,946
Speaker 1: press conference the day after a loss and then fire

44
00:02:43,026 --> 00:02:46,346
Speaker 1: him after. It doesn't happen. It's just not a coordinating thing.

45
00:02:47,786 --> 00:02:50,986
Speaker 1: Ten Am Eastern happens. Good Morning Football goes off the

46
00:02:51,026 --> 00:02:54,666
Speaker 1: air and there's Matt Eberflus on a zoom getting grilled

47
00:02:54,706 --> 00:02:57,666
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes by local reporters, taking the bullets and

48
00:02:57,706 --> 00:03:02,706
Speaker 1: talking about the game against San Francisco next week. Like, Wow,

49
00:03:03,586 --> 00:03:07,986
Speaker 1: the mccaskeys really really do not like firing people mid season.

50
00:03:08,226 --> 00:03:11,546
Speaker 1: And Ryan Poles, I don't know if it's a credit

51
00:03:11,546 --> 00:03:14,746
Speaker 1: to him or it's a loyalty to Iberflus or what,

52
00:03:14,946 --> 00:03:17,466
Speaker 1: but like, if ever there was a window the fans

53
00:03:17,506 --> 00:03:19,346
Speaker 1: would understand, you could have fired him, but they didn't,

54
00:03:19,386 --> 00:03:21,266
Speaker 1: and he'll coach another week and we'll see what the

55
00:03:21,266 --> 00:03:25,586
Speaker 1: story goes. Literally twenty minutes later, I get a text

56
00:03:25,786 --> 00:03:31,906
Speaker 1: from a source Iberflus fired. I'm like, what so the

57
00:03:31,906 --> 00:03:39,306
Speaker 1: Bears and it's McCaskey. It's Kevin Warren. Kevin Warren was

58
00:03:40,706 --> 00:03:44,106
Speaker 1: the big ten commissioner. Then he was the president of

59
00:03:44,146 --> 00:03:48,186
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and now he's the president of the Bears,

60
00:03:48,266 --> 00:03:50,826
Speaker 1: and the stadium is the big story with the Bears

61
00:03:50,866 --> 00:03:54,106
Speaker 1: and Kevin Warren, and that's gonna be his big, you know,

62
00:03:54,346 --> 00:03:58,786
Speaker 1: obvious talking and mission for the next few years. And

63
00:03:58,786 --> 00:04:01,586
Speaker 1: it's polls the GM. And the way I heard it

64
00:04:01,746 --> 00:04:06,826
Speaker 1: was that Iberflus's press conference was scheduled, but they had

65
00:04:06,866 --> 00:04:10,146
Speaker 1: at the same time a meeting scheduled with the owner

66
00:04:10,186 --> 00:04:13,266
Speaker 1: of the president, and the general manager to discuss the

67
00:04:13,266 --> 00:04:17,266
Speaker 1: future of the head coach. They had not decided or

68
00:04:17,306 --> 00:04:21,466
Speaker 1: determined the head coach's future or fate before that meeting.

69
00:04:21,506 --> 00:04:23,786
Speaker 1: But as they hammered it around and they talked about it,

70
00:04:23,826 --> 00:04:27,026
Speaker 1: they said, Okay, we're gonna fire him. My thing is,

71
00:04:27,146 --> 00:04:30,826
Speaker 1: can you not move that meeting with the owner, the

72
00:04:30,866 --> 00:04:35,786
Speaker 1: president and the GM two hours earlier given the circumstances.

73
00:04:35,826 --> 00:04:39,226
Speaker 1: I know, Thanksgiving is a special time, and I know

74
00:04:39,266 --> 00:04:43,866
Speaker 1: everyone flew back. I just felt that was unfair to

75
00:04:43,906 --> 00:04:48,546
Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus. So they fired Eberflus. And then on Monday morning,

76
00:04:49,186 --> 00:04:52,706
Speaker 1: Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles do a press conference and Warren,

77
00:04:52,746 --> 00:04:55,866
Speaker 1: who I didn't hear anyone saying that Poles's job was

78
00:04:55,866 --> 00:04:57,746
Speaker 1: in jeopardy. It's like, I just want to make it

79
00:04:57,746 --> 00:05:00,706
Speaker 1: clear that Ryan Poles, the GM's job is not in

80
00:05:00,786 --> 00:05:03,306
Speaker 1: jeopardy and he's our guy. And I'm like, this shirt

81
00:05:03,306 --> 00:05:05,426
Speaker 1: sounds like a vote confidence when no one's really asking.

82
00:05:05,506 --> 00:05:07,706
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anyone was wondering whether Ryan

83
00:05:07,746 --> 00:05:10,346
Speaker 1: Pouls is gonna keep his job. Ryan Poles drafted Caleb

84
00:05:10,386 --> 00:05:13,506
Speaker 1: and made that incredible trade to get not only that pick,

85
00:05:13,546 --> 00:05:18,026
Speaker 1: but DJ Moore. And it's the press conference on Monday

86
00:05:18,106 --> 00:05:25,506
Speaker 1: was head scratching. Also, fast forward to today and it's Thursday,

87
00:05:26,466 --> 00:05:31,746
Speaker 1: and at this job opening, you're gonna hear every name mentioned.

88
00:05:32,106 --> 00:05:36,386
Speaker 1: And one of the names that keeps popping up is

89
00:05:36,466 --> 00:05:41,066
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's name. And let me just lay my cards

90
00:05:41,106 --> 00:05:45,746
Speaker 1: on the table. I don't think Kyle Shanahan's being fired

91
00:05:45,746 --> 00:05:48,186
Speaker 1: by the San Francisco forty nine ers. I don't. I

92
00:05:48,186 --> 00:05:50,106
Speaker 1: don't think John Lynch is being fired by the forty

93
00:05:50,186 --> 00:05:54,586
Speaker 1: nine ers. Mike Florio is a reporter for NBC Sports

94
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:58,706
Speaker 1: and Pro Football Talk. Mike Florio over the years has

95
00:05:58,706 --> 00:06:02,226
Speaker 1: broken a lot of Niners stories. Mike Florio is very

96
00:06:02,266 --> 00:06:04,986
Speaker 1: plugged in and he has done a bit of a

97
00:06:05,026 --> 00:06:06,906
Speaker 1: media tour, so I'm on eyes in him on I

98
00:06:06,946 --> 00:06:08,786
Speaker 1: think Dan Patrick I saw him on his own show,

99
00:06:08,866 --> 00:06:11,746
Speaker 1: being like, I'm not so sure Shanahan's coming back to

100
00:06:11,786 --> 00:06:17,906
Speaker 1: San Francisco after this disastrous year. This is the beauty

101
00:06:18,066 --> 00:06:23,426
Speaker 1: of coach hiring season. You can get names like Vrabel

102
00:06:23,586 --> 00:06:26,986
Speaker 1: attached to the Jets, you can get names like Shanahan

103
00:06:26,986 --> 00:06:29,066
Speaker 1: attached to the Bears, and I can't say no to

104
00:06:29,186 --> 00:06:34,186
Speaker 1: any of it because I have seen crazier happen. I

105
00:06:34,186 --> 00:06:37,786
Speaker 1: would like to think San Francisco isn't gonna just end

106
00:06:37,786 --> 00:06:39,666
Speaker 1: this entire thing, and the coach and GM, we're not

107
00:06:39,706 --> 00:06:42,026
Speaker 1: gonna flee, and that Shanahan's gonna want to come back

108
00:06:42,066 --> 00:06:43,906
Speaker 1: and say let's go for this thing again and let's

109
00:06:43,906 --> 00:06:47,466
Speaker 1: try to rebuild based on what a disastrous thing that is.

110
00:06:47,506 --> 00:06:50,746
Speaker 1: But like, I'm not out of hand, saying Shanahan to

111
00:06:50,826 --> 00:06:54,586
Speaker 1: the Bears is ridiculous. It's unlikely. I would imagine it's

112
00:06:54,586 --> 00:06:58,586
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But this is where we're at and

113
00:06:58,746 --> 00:07:01,906
Speaker 1: why the NFL is unlike any other profession. I mean,

114
00:07:02,026 --> 00:07:05,026
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan's name was mentioned for the Jets job, and

115
00:07:05,146 --> 00:07:07,346
Speaker 1: I couldn't pooh pooh it because I know that wood

116
00:07:07,346 --> 00:07:10,986
Speaker 1: he loved Rex and Wood he makes. The hiring Kyle

117
00:07:11,026 --> 00:07:13,706
Speaker 1: Shanahan to the Bear sounds absurd. Why would you leave

118
00:07:13,706 --> 00:07:16,266
Speaker 1: San Francisco for Chicago? But then you think about New

119
00:07:16,306 --> 00:07:19,786
Speaker 1: Beginnings and Caleb Williams and Wow, to take on that

120
00:07:19,826 --> 00:07:22,026
Speaker 1: franchise and bring that and that to prominence, Well, I

121
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:23,466
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe there's a way that he can get

122
00:07:23,466 --> 00:07:28,866
Speaker 1: out of San Francisco. I mentioned Marcus Freeman, and I

123
00:07:28,906 --> 00:07:32,146
Speaker 1: was the first with that on Sunday's Fox Show for Chicago,

124
00:07:32,306 --> 00:07:35,906
Speaker 1: and I will stand behind that. I got a lot

125
00:07:35,906 --> 00:07:38,626
Speaker 1: of feedback and also a lot of buzz around that report.

126
00:07:38,706 --> 00:07:41,226
Speaker 1: No one had reported it up until that point. He's

127
00:07:41,266 --> 00:07:44,506
Speaker 1: the head coach of Notre Dame. I think he might

128
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:47,026
Speaker 1: be a candidate as well, and I don't say that

129
00:07:47,106 --> 00:07:51,106
Speaker 1: without knowledge of the situation. So that job is interesting,

130
00:07:52,226 --> 00:07:54,906
Speaker 1: Jet's job really interesting. I don't know if anyone's reported

131
00:07:54,946 --> 00:07:58,186
Speaker 1: this besides me. I have no indication that Woody Johnson

132
00:07:58,266 --> 00:08:02,706
Speaker 1: is actually going to Europe for an ambassador role. From

133
00:08:02,786 --> 00:08:05,146
Speaker 1: all I gathered, that job was filled in the UK,

134
00:08:05,866 --> 00:08:09,026
Speaker 1: and I have no confirmation or indication that he's taken

135
00:08:09,066 --> 00:08:10,866
Speaker 1: another one. What he's got a kid in college, a

136
00:08:10,906 --> 00:08:13,826
Speaker 1: kid in high school. I'm not sure what he wants

137
00:08:13,826 --> 00:08:16,746
Speaker 1: to go away for four years and be a part

138
00:08:16,746 --> 00:08:19,506
Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. That was assumed that he would

139
00:08:19,546 --> 00:08:22,106
Speaker 1: go do that, but I don't have any indication of that.

140
00:08:23,706 --> 00:08:27,786
Speaker 1: Jet's job is open. Bear's job is open with an asterisk.

141
00:08:27,826 --> 00:08:29,946
Speaker 1: I do think there's a way that Thomas Brown, the

142
00:08:29,986 --> 00:08:33,786
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, well really the guy who was recently promoted

143
00:08:33,866 --> 00:08:36,306
Speaker 1: as the interim offense corner an internim head coach, could

144
00:08:36,386 --> 00:08:39,466
Speaker 1: possibly win games down the stretch, and he's beloved in

145
00:08:39,466 --> 00:08:41,426
Speaker 1: that building, and he's really well liked by the players,

146
00:08:41,426 --> 00:08:43,186
Speaker 1: Like there's a chance that he could still be a candidate.

147
00:08:43,386 --> 00:08:46,026
Speaker 1: I don't think Olbrik's a candidate in New York. And

148
00:08:46,066 --> 00:08:48,266
Speaker 1: then you have the Saints job. But there are gonna

149
00:08:48,266 --> 00:08:52,026
Speaker 1: be other openings. There will be other ones, and it's

150
00:08:52,026 --> 00:08:55,386
Speaker 1: gonna get really interesting to see which names pop up,

151
00:08:55,506 --> 00:08:58,186
Speaker 1: who's attached to where. And I said it on Bill

152
00:08:58,226 --> 00:09:01,786
Speaker 1: Simmons a couple of weeks ago, who everyone just assumes

153
00:09:01,826 --> 00:09:04,546
Speaker 1: Vrabel's getting a job and Belichick's getting a job. Belichick

154
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:07,506
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars sounds like it makes sense, like seod

155
00:09:07,586 --> 00:09:09,906
Speaker 1: Con just being like just I don't want to just

156
00:09:09,906 --> 00:09:13,226
Speaker 1: just go just do your thing, Vrabel, I don't. I

157
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:17,266
Speaker 1: don't have a team yet. I don't. I don't envision

158
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:19,186
Speaker 1: a world where Rabel's not going to be a head coach.

159
00:09:20,346 --> 00:09:22,586
Speaker 1: But there are so many hot coordinators too. So Ben

160
00:09:22,666 --> 00:09:26,106
Speaker 1: Johnson's out there, Joe Brady's having an amazing season. Uh

161
00:09:26,426 --> 00:09:28,426
Speaker 1: you go through the names. Cliff Kingsbury, what he's done

162
00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:32,066
Speaker 1: with Jayden Daniels has been outstanding, and then there's Jesse

163
00:09:32,186 --> 00:09:35,266
Speaker 1: Minter out in LA who has had an out incredible year.

164
00:09:35,546 --> 00:09:38,186
Speaker 1: And then an older guy, Todd Todd Munkin, who's been

165
00:09:38,186 --> 00:09:40,506
Speaker 1: in oc at Georgia and the Ravens and has rebuilt

166
00:09:40,506 --> 00:09:44,226
Speaker 1: both offenses and brought them to to great places. So

167
00:09:44,986 --> 00:09:47,386
Speaker 1: really fun time of the year for us as fans,

168
00:09:47,466 --> 00:09:50,066
Speaker 1: really devastating time of the year for the fired coaches

169
00:09:50,146 --> 00:09:53,706
Speaker 1: and for coaches on the hot seat. But uh, Bear's

170
00:09:53,746 --> 00:09:56,826
Speaker 1: got interesting and that job is very coveted, even with

171
00:09:57,266 --> 00:09:59,906
Speaker 1: a lack of success over the last few years. People

172
00:09:59,946 --> 00:10:02,706
Speaker 1: see that logo, people see that fan base, and they

173
00:10:02,706 --> 00:10:06,346
Speaker 1: look at a team that is actually really good on paper.

174
00:10:06,946 --> 00:10:10,146
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see how that all plays out

175
00:10:10,666 --> 00:10:14,666
Speaker 1: real quick. Great week of football up ahead, some really

176
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:18,466
Speaker 1: good games. I made a comment on Good Morning Football

177
00:10:18,466 --> 00:10:20,946
Speaker 1: and I wrote about it for my Fox column. I

178
00:10:21,026 --> 00:10:22,906
Speaker 1: believe this is the best Buffalo Bills team we have

179
00:10:22,986 --> 00:10:27,466
Speaker 1: ever seen. I say that with confidence. And the nineteen

180
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:30,946
Speaker 1: ninety team went thirteen and three, went eight, you know

181
00:10:32,106 --> 00:10:36,066
Speaker 1: at home, and then rattled through the playoffs before losing

182
00:10:36,066 --> 00:10:37,666
Speaker 1: to the Giants. On wide right, they won an AFC

183
00:10:37,706 --> 00:10:41,666
Speaker 1: championship game fifty one to three against the La Raiders

184
00:10:41,666 --> 00:10:45,266
Speaker 1: that year. I'm watching this Bills team. They get better

185
00:10:45,306 --> 00:10:48,546
Speaker 1: and better every week. They're getting healthier and healthier. And

186
00:10:48,906 --> 00:10:51,946
Speaker 1: last week's victory on Sunday night, I know the Niners

187
00:10:51,986 --> 00:10:54,666
Speaker 1: came in, you know, banged up, but like in a

188
00:10:54,746 --> 00:10:57,466
Speaker 1: previous year, I think the Bills they don't blow them

189
00:10:57,466 --> 00:10:59,226
Speaker 1: out thirty five to ten. I don't think they're doing

190
00:10:59,226 --> 00:11:02,506
Speaker 1: snow Angels. And I think allan Engagement included is like

191
00:11:02,546 --> 00:11:05,026
Speaker 1: as happy as he ever been. And Aaron wan Koff

192
00:11:05,106 --> 00:11:07,346
Speaker 1: and my producer, who is a diehard Bills fan, I'm

193
00:11:07,386 --> 00:11:10,186
Speaker 1: not jinxing you. I'm not putting the hoax on this team.

194
00:11:10,826 --> 00:11:14,346
Speaker 1: I think in a year where everyone is talking about

195
00:11:14,466 --> 00:11:20,306
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Kevin O'Connell. You know, you go through Sean

196
00:11:20,386 --> 00:11:24,386
Speaker 1: Payton and I guess who's the other hot name from

197
00:11:24,546 --> 00:11:28,066
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell? Like, I think my Coach of the Year

198
00:11:28,106 --> 00:11:31,746
Speaker 1: might be Sean McDermott. Considering what they lost and what

199
00:11:31,826 --> 00:11:35,346
Speaker 1: they were expected to be missing with Diggs and Gabe

200
00:11:35,426 --> 00:11:39,706
Speaker 1: Davis and Hide and Poyer, I might if I had

201
00:11:39,706 --> 00:11:42,386
Speaker 1: to vote right now, I might go MVP Josh Allen.

202
00:11:42,906 --> 00:11:45,866
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year Sean McDermott. And for someone who

203
00:11:45,866 --> 00:11:47,706
Speaker 1: grew up as a Bills fan during those four Super

204
00:11:47,706 --> 00:11:49,186
Speaker 1: Bowl losses, I think this might be the best team

205
00:11:49,186 --> 00:11:49,706
Speaker 1: they've ever had.

206
00:11:50,106 --> 00:11:52,586
Speaker 2: Oh, they can't. They can't defend the run. Yeah, I'm

207
00:11:52,626 --> 00:11:53,626
Speaker 2: not getting too excited.

208
00:11:54,906 --> 00:11:55,746
Speaker 3: You watch it every week?

209
00:11:55,786 --> 00:11:56,266
Speaker 1: What do you think?

210
00:11:56,426 --> 00:11:56,746
Speaker 3: I mean?

211
00:11:57,826 --> 00:12:01,586
Speaker 2: You know, watching CMC in those first couple of runs,

212
00:12:01,586 --> 00:12:04,186
Speaker 2: he was incredible every single time. You know, we lost

213
00:12:04,186 --> 00:12:06,706
Speaker 2: to the Ravens. Dereck Henry ran all over us. They

214
00:12:06,706 --> 00:12:09,906
Speaker 2: will I also think a little bit. I am trying

215
00:12:09,946 --> 00:12:11,826
Speaker 2: not to get my hopes up too much. I just

216
00:12:12,146 --> 00:12:13,906
Speaker 2: was on the phone with my dad last night when

217
00:12:13,946 --> 00:12:16,066
Speaker 2: for a Walk called him. We were talking about the game.

218
00:12:16,146 --> 00:12:19,266
Speaker 2: He stayed up for the entire thing. He very rarely

219
00:12:19,266 --> 00:12:21,746
Speaker 2: stays up for the Sunday night game because it's so

220
00:12:21,866 --> 00:12:23,826
Speaker 2: late on the East Coast. He stayed up for the

221
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:26,626
Speaker 2: whole thing. He loved it, loved watching it. I'm just,

222
00:12:26,866 --> 00:12:29,866
Speaker 2: you know, playing in the in the snow is fun.

223
00:12:30,226 --> 00:12:32,666
Speaker 2: It's awesome to see them win. It's awesome to see

224
00:12:32,666 --> 00:12:35,986
Speaker 2: that Amari Cooper lateral and Josh you know everyone's oh,

225
00:12:36,066 --> 00:12:40,466
Speaker 2: the only quarterback to get a throwing and a receiving touchdown.

226
00:12:40,226 --> 00:12:41,226
Speaker 1: Since Brad Johnson.

227
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:46,426
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just they still have some problems depending.

228
00:12:46,746 --> 00:12:51,386
Speaker 1: Listeners are listening this week fourteens that we're at. Yeah,

229
00:12:51,546 --> 00:12:54,306
Speaker 1: is this week a classic trap letdown game.

230
00:12:57,186 --> 00:13:01,306
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that they will get up for

231
00:13:01,386 --> 00:13:03,666
Speaker 2: every game going out because I think they want to

232
00:13:03,666 --> 00:13:06,986
Speaker 2: catch Kansas City. I think if they could take that

233
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:11,226
Speaker 2: buy that will mean so much, and so I think

234
00:13:11,306 --> 00:13:13,266
Speaker 2: they want to win out, Like, I don't see any

235
00:13:13,346 --> 00:13:16,306
Speaker 2: reason why They've got to keep their eye on Detroit

236
00:13:16,346 --> 00:13:18,106
Speaker 2: coming up too. So maybe this is a little bit

237
00:13:18,106 --> 00:13:21,306
Speaker 2: of a trap, but I don't know. Yeah, I would

238
00:13:21,346 --> 00:13:21,986
Speaker 2: love for.

239
00:13:22,026 --> 00:13:22,626
Speaker 3: Them to.

240
00:13:24,546 --> 00:13:28,546
Speaker 2: Not stumble and get healthy. I mean, get Kean Coleman back,

241
00:13:28,626 --> 00:13:31,226
Speaker 2: get Kincaid back like Knox has been playing. Well, Mac

242
00:13:31,266 --> 00:13:34,786
Speaker 2: Collins out of nowhere is suddenly like barefoot. Yeah, I

243
00:13:34,786 --> 00:13:37,746
Speaker 2: mean yeah, lying down in the snow, shirtless or whatever.

244
00:13:37,746 --> 00:13:43,346
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's good. I was so determined at the

245
00:13:43,346 --> 00:13:46,466
Speaker 2: beginning of this year to be okay with them having

246
00:13:46,506 --> 00:13:48,466
Speaker 2: a rebuilding year and just and just.

247
00:13:48,426 --> 00:13:50,386
Speaker 1: They have two losses. They lost when they were all

248
00:13:50,386 --> 00:13:52,146
Speaker 1: banged up to the Ravens they got killed, and then

249
00:13:52,186 --> 00:13:54,746
Speaker 1: they lost the Texans second. And I think Josh Allen

250
00:13:54,746 --> 00:13:56,666
Speaker 1: went like nine to thirty at ACAD and if you

251
00:13:56,706 --> 00:13:58,506
Speaker 1: remember it was like Stephan Diggs and him had the

252
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:00,786
Speaker 1: side eye like that Funds like six years ago.

253
00:14:00,906 --> 00:14:02,786
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was when everyone was like, oh, Josh

254
00:14:02,866 --> 00:14:06,066
Speaker 2: Allen's turning back into who he was rookie year, and

255
00:14:06,106 --> 00:14:09,466
Speaker 2: since then it's been completely different.

256
00:14:10,306 --> 00:14:13,826
Speaker 1: Le me P. Can we play a clip from the

257
00:14:13,906 --> 00:14:18,146
Speaker 1: NBC broadcast. I want to hear the audio of a

258
00:14:18,266 --> 00:14:23,266
Speaker 1: report from Melissa Stark about Khalil Shakir talking about Josh Allen.

259
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:26,546
Speaker 4: Khalil Shakir is ready to run through a wall for

260
00:14:26,626 --> 00:14:27,226
Speaker 4: his quarterback.

261
00:14:27,226 --> 00:14:28,066
Speaker 3: And you think I'm kidding.

262
00:14:28,106 --> 00:14:30,266
Speaker 4: No, he told me that if Josh came to him

263
00:14:30,426 --> 00:14:32,986
Speaker 4: and said, grab your shield, and sword. We're going to

264
00:14:33,026 --> 00:14:36,386
Speaker 4: battle with no other details. He would fall in line

265
00:14:36,426 --> 00:14:39,346
Speaker 4: behind him, no questions asked. Khalil said, when your quarterback

266
00:14:39,586 --> 00:14:42,186
Speaker 4: is putting his body on the line every single play,

267
00:14:42,426 --> 00:14:45,026
Speaker 4: it makes you want to go above and beyond for him.

268
00:14:45,466 --> 00:14:47,066
Speaker 1: Josh, all right, So you.

269
00:14:48,706 --> 00:14:51,666
Speaker 4: Threw for a touchdown and received a touchdown on the

270
00:14:51,666 --> 00:14:52,226
Speaker 4: same play.

271
00:14:52,226 --> 00:14:53,306
Speaker 1: Can you walk us through that.

272
00:14:53,946 --> 00:14:55,746
Speaker 5: Yeah, I threw a bad balls. I was worried I

273
00:14:55,786 --> 00:14:57,626
Speaker 5: was going to get tipped up in the air pick,

274
00:14:57,706 --> 00:14:59,506
Speaker 5: so I was just kind of chasing it. I made

275
00:14:59,546 --> 00:15:01,586
Speaker 5: eye contact with Coope. He's a vet, saw me. I

276
00:15:01,586 --> 00:15:02,866
Speaker 5: put my hands out, he tossed it to me, and

277
00:15:02,866 --> 00:15:03,186
Speaker 5: they had to.

278
00:15:03,146 --> 00:15:03,666
Speaker 1: Make a play.

279
00:15:04,386 --> 00:15:05,906
Speaker 5: Is that how they score it? I get a passing

280
00:15:05,946 --> 00:15:08,226
Speaker 5: end receiving you do. That's pretty cool.

281
00:15:08,266 --> 00:15:10,626
Speaker 4: And Chris collins Worth is very excited because he started

282
00:15:10,666 --> 00:15:11,626
Speaker 4: you on this fantasy team.

283
00:15:11,626 --> 00:15:13,026
Speaker 5: I love that, so did I.

284
00:15:14,106 --> 00:15:16,426
Speaker 1: Oh, good to hear it. I love that kind of stuff.

285
00:15:16,466 --> 00:15:18,586
Speaker 1: It's so cheesy in a way, like I'm gonna take

286
00:15:18,626 --> 00:15:21,666
Speaker 1: my sword and my shield and go fight for this man.

287
00:15:21,906 --> 00:15:26,506
Speaker 1: But like, I don't think. Melissa like asked him that question, saying, hey, Khalil,

288
00:15:26,546 --> 00:15:28,026
Speaker 1: if you had a sword, and a shield. Would you

289
00:15:28,026 --> 00:15:31,226
Speaker 1: go fight that? He's bringing that up himself. So they're

290
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:35,586
Speaker 1: all playing Allan's obviously the man Diggs is not there.

291
00:15:35,626 --> 00:15:38,706
Speaker 1: That seems to be auditioned by subtraction personality and whatever

292
00:15:38,746 --> 00:15:42,946
Speaker 1: else wise. Uh, right now, if I had to vote,

293
00:15:43,506 --> 00:15:46,866
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen's my MVP and Sean mcdermot's my

294
00:15:46,866 --> 00:15:49,946
Speaker 1: coach of the year. All right, let's get to our guest.

295
00:15:51,826 --> 00:15:53,866
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to do this because I think he's

296
00:15:53,946 --> 00:15:56,746
Speaker 1: hilarious and he's also a smart, knowledgeable fan and also

297
00:15:56,746 --> 00:15:59,586
Speaker 1: played college football at a high level. Joel McHale is

298
00:15:59,666 --> 00:16:10,946
Speaker 1: up next. Our guest is one of my favorite people

299
00:16:11,226 --> 00:16:13,706
Speaker 1: in the world to watch, to text with, to hear

300
00:16:13,786 --> 00:16:17,826
Speaker 1: him on podcasts, and then also to see him talk football,

301
00:16:17,946 --> 00:16:20,986
Speaker 1: which he does quite often on our show Good Morning Football.

302
00:16:20,986 --> 00:16:25,826
Speaker 1: And he's great with no further ado, the Seattle Seahawks

303
00:16:25,826 --> 00:16:28,466
Speaker 1: fan in my life, mister Joel McHale, what's up, dude?

304
00:16:29,226 --> 00:16:35,026
Speaker 3: Go Hawks, Go Hawks, Go Hawks. Event Hold on, I'll

Speaker 3: let me. What do you I'll complete it here.

306
00:16:38,666 --> 00:16:41,826
Speaker 1: We're looking, we're looking for memorabilia. What do we have here?

307
00:16:41,986 --> 00:16:49,106
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, helmet grow helmet?

308
00:16:49,466 --> 00:16:51,906
Speaker 1: Tell me the story of acquiring this helmet. Whose helmet

309
00:16:51,946 --> 00:16:54,186
Speaker 1: is it? How'd you get that? And who gifted do this?

310
00:16:56,066 --> 00:16:59,186
Speaker 3: I was doing a bit for the Seahawks and I

311
00:16:59,186 --> 00:17:02,386
Speaker 3: can't remember what the bit was. And then I was

312
00:17:02,386 --> 00:17:05,026
Speaker 3: wearing the helmet and then they said, then I said,

313
00:17:05,146 --> 00:17:06,066
Speaker 3: can I have the helmet?

314
00:17:06,186 --> 00:17:06,386
Speaker 6: Now?

315
00:17:06,506 --> 00:17:09,786
Speaker 3: Went really expensive and I was like, I know, and

316
00:17:09,826 --> 00:17:11,946
Speaker 3: then they went, all right, just take the helmet, and

317
00:17:11,986 --> 00:17:15,506
Speaker 3: then uh, and so I just carried around the house

318
00:17:15,866 --> 00:17:19,026
Speaker 3: like you know, after a game, and my kids are like,

319

322
00:17:29,626 --> 00:17:33,666
Speaker 3: football helmet out of context kind of makes you look insane.

323
00:17:34,226 --> 00:17:37,546
Speaker 1: It does. I'm gonna quickly, as a Seahawks fan, rapid

324
00:17:37,546 --> 00:17:39,346
Speaker 1: fire some Seahawks questions for you. Then we're gonna get

330
00:17:53,986 --> 00:17:54,986

00:17:57,346 --> 00:18:00,346
Speaker 3: I was at the game, and uh, my wife and

333
00:18:00,386 --> 00:18:03,946
Speaker 3: I went and it was I was it was so

334
00:18:04,746 --> 00:18:09,266
Speaker 3: great and I think I've never taken heroin. Where's this going?

335
00:18:09,626 --> 00:18:13,186
Speaker 3: Where is this going? Peter? I was like, Oh, this

336
00:18:13,346 --> 00:18:17,986
Speaker 3: is what it must feel like. I'm so euphoric. I'm

337
00:18:18,146 --> 00:18:23,386
Speaker 3: so happy, and I cried. We were sitting next to

338
00:18:23,506 --> 00:18:28,426
Speaker 3: Will Arnett, who, as you know, a famous hockey fan. Yep,

339
00:18:28,546 --> 00:18:31,546
Speaker 3: uh and so and he had he was promoting the

340
00:18:31,626 --> 00:18:34,706
Speaker 3: Lego Batman movie. So it was this weird group of

341
00:18:34,746 --> 00:18:38,026
Speaker 3: people and uh, and he was making fun of me

342
00:18:38,106 --> 00:18:43,186
Speaker 3: the whole time. He was like, Joela, looks pretty good, buddy.

343
00:18:43,426 --> 00:18:43,546
Speaker 2: Uh.

344
00:18:44,026 --> 00:18:46,066
Speaker 3: And I was like, we didn't get called for icing

345
00:18:46,146 --> 00:18:49,746
Speaker 3: one and yeah. So I was there. Where were you?

346
00:18:50,506 --> 00:18:52,146
Speaker 1: I was there too. I was on the field. I

347
00:18:52,146 --> 00:18:54,706
Speaker 1: was working for Fox Super Bowl. I did all the

348
00:18:54,706 --> 00:18:58,506
Speaker 1: postgame interviews. And that's the one was interesting because there

349
00:18:58,586 --> 00:19:01,906
Speaker 1: was so much build up and then like within two plays,

350
00:19:01,906 --> 00:19:04,786
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning spite us, you know, hikes the ball over

351
00:19:05,346 --> 00:19:06,986
Speaker 1: the center, hikes it over his head and you're like, oh,

352
00:19:07,186 --> 00:19:10,346
Speaker 1: and then it just the Broncos never had a chance.

353
00:19:11,026 --> 00:19:13,626
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then Percy Harvin, who had been hurt all.

354
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:16,746
Speaker 1: Year, opens the second half right after Bruno.

355
00:19:16,466 --> 00:19:20,186
Speaker 3: Mars do you what do you when that? Because I

356
00:19:20,266 --> 00:19:22,546
Speaker 3: made a joke of a prediction. They were like, what

357
00:19:22,586 --> 00:19:24,106
Speaker 3: do you think the final score is going to be?

358
00:19:24,146 --> 00:19:29,666
Speaker 3: And I said two to four, just because usually I'm like,

359
00:19:30,186 --> 00:19:35,626
Speaker 3: usually i'd be like Broncos thirteen, Seahawks two hundred and six,

360
00:19:35,986 --> 00:19:39,226
Speaker 3: and but I said two to four. And then the

361
00:19:39,266 --> 00:19:41,306
Speaker 3: first play was the safety.

362
00:19:42,426 --> 00:19:43,906
Speaker 1: Two. Yeah.

363
00:19:43,906 --> 00:19:46,946
Speaker 3: I was like, it's happening and I can't believe it.

364
00:19:47,066 --> 00:19:50,466
Speaker 3: And what do you like? Obviously I know all sorts

365
00:19:50,466 --> 00:19:54,346
Speaker 3: of people that bet money on football legally or legally

366
00:19:54,386 --> 00:19:58,626
Speaker 3: now depending upon what state. But what do you think? What?

367
00:19:58,626 --> 00:20:02,626
Speaker 3: What do you think the odds were for the first play?

368
00:20:02,946 --> 00:20:06,986
Speaker 3: Like somebody had a bet? Like just like what would

369
00:20:07,026 --> 00:20:09,546
Speaker 3: be the Like, okay, if you put down ten bucks

370
00:20:09,706 --> 00:20:12,506
Speaker 3: and the first play is a safety?

371
00:20:12,626 --> 00:20:15,386
Speaker 1: Aaron, Aaron, We got to producer Aaron here, Aaron, why

372
00:20:15,386 --> 00:20:18,226
Speaker 1: don't you google last year's Super Bowl first scoring play

373
00:20:18,386 --> 00:20:20,266
Speaker 1: safety and tell me what the odds are. I would

374
00:20:20,266 --> 00:20:21,746
Speaker 1: say it's probably one thousand to one.

375
00:20:22,546 --> 00:20:26,026
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, like yeah.

376
00:20:25,546 --> 00:20:27,586
Speaker 1: Figure that. I'll tell you my story with that. I

377
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:29,946
Speaker 1: was assigned to the Seahawks all week. Fox Sports one

378
00:20:30,026 --> 00:20:32,786
Speaker 1: had just launched cable network for our dear friends at Fox.

379
00:20:32,986 --> 00:20:36,346
Speaker 1: We Love Hello, Lachlan and the crew, and I was

380
00:20:36,386 --> 00:20:37,026
Speaker 1: working for them.

381
00:20:37,706 --> 00:20:41,066
Speaker 3: Look, Animal Control on FI was on Fox, I Get

382
00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:44,306
Speaker 3: It Kitchen on Fox.

383
00:20:44,306 --> 00:20:47,186
Speaker 1: Fox, and I was assigned to that team. And that

384
00:20:47,306 --> 00:20:49,626
Speaker 1: was the year that like Marshawn would and talk to

385
00:20:49,706 --> 00:20:51,906
Speaker 1: the media and Michael Robinson was doing all the talking

386
00:20:51,946 --> 00:20:54,106
Speaker 1: for him, and I was with them at the hotel.

387
00:20:54,106 --> 00:20:55,426
Speaker 1: And I could say the hotel now at the time

388
00:20:55,426 --> 00:20:57,266
Speaker 1: it was like top secret location, but it was like

389
00:20:57,546 --> 00:21:01,746
Speaker 1: the w in Jersey City. Oh I'm sorry, it was

390
00:21:01,826 --> 00:21:06,066
Speaker 1: the Weston in Jersey City. And like around that team

391
00:21:06,506 --> 00:21:09,346
Speaker 1: after they beat Crabtree and the Niners, they were the

392
00:21:09,386 --> 00:21:13,266
Speaker 1: most confident, borderline cocky group of guys, like at no

393
00:21:13,426 --> 00:21:15,946
Speaker 1: point did they even think they would lose. That Later

394
00:21:15,986 --> 00:21:18,026
Speaker 1: we'd find out there was a fight during the week

395
00:21:18,506 --> 00:21:21,266
Speaker 1: involving Golden Tate and and Percy Harvin. I don't even

396
00:21:21,306 --> 00:21:24,186
Speaker 1: remember the story, but there was something. It doesn't matter.

397
00:21:24,946 --> 00:21:26,906
Speaker 1: They kicked the crap out of Peyton Manning and the

398
00:21:26,946 --> 00:21:27,746
Speaker 1: Broncos that day.

399
00:21:28,226 --> 00:21:30,986
Speaker 3: It was and I've been on that Monday night football

400
00:21:31,506 --> 00:21:34,346
Speaker 3: broadcast between that, which is such a good broadcast. He

00:21:34,586 --> 00:21:37,066
Speaker 3: his brother and then I brought it up, and I

402
00:21:37,146 --> 00:21:39,746
Speaker 3: was like, oh shit, I mean, there were such good

403
00:21:39,746 --> 00:21:43,026
Speaker 3: sports and I can't I realize, Oh, this is obviously

404
00:21:43,026 --> 00:21:44,866
Speaker 3: like I'm taunting them a little bit. I'm like, I'm

405
00:21:44,866 --> 00:21:47,986
Speaker 3: just some fan and I'm like, you were in the game,

00:21:50,306 --> 00:21:52,746
Speaker 1: Like legacy stuff like yeah, yeah.

00:21:52,746 --> 00:21:55,146
Speaker 3: Like oh you were in like you were in this beat.

409
00:21:55,226 --> 00:21:56,506
Speaker 3: Like if it were me, it would be like you

410
00:21:56,546 --> 00:21:58,546
Speaker 3: got in this big, huge movie and you kind of

411
00:21:58,866 --> 00:22:01,106
Speaker 3: it didn't really you know, it didn't happen, you know,

412
00:22:01,266 --> 00:22:03,426
Speaker 3: and I would I'd be like, oh, I'm not that

Speaker 3: he was hurt and any because he's such a in

414
00:22:06,706 --> 00:22:08,706
Speaker 3: such a cool guy. But I'm like, what, why am

415
00:22:08,746 --> 00:22:14,106
Speaker 3: I being a dick? Yeah? Yeah, he's the light. And

416
00:22:14,346 --> 00:22:16,466
Speaker 3: I was there speaking all right.

417
00:22:16,506 --> 00:22:19,106
Speaker 1: So twelve months later, we're in Arizona. Katy Perry's tearing

418
00:22:19,146 --> 00:22:22,426
Speaker 1: it up at halftime. Uh was the was the Canadian

419
00:22:22,466 --> 00:22:25,226
Speaker 1: Football League wide receiver Chris Matthews has the game of

420
00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:28,226
Speaker 1: his life and he's tearing it up and and curse

421
00:22:28,306 --> 00:22:31,626
Speaker 1: has the butt catch? Where were you for that whole less?

422
00:22:31,906 --> 00:22:35,786
Speaker 3: I was there again with my wife Sarah, standing next

423
00:22:35,786 --> 00:22:39,946
Speaker 3: to Meredith Vieira and matt Lower I love it and

424
00:22:39,946 --> 00:22:46,466
Speaker 3: and triple h and uh McMahon's daughter. Uh. Yeah. It

425
00:22:46,586 --> 00:22:52,386
Speaker 3: was a very again, like an interesting group and it

426
00:22:52,466 --> 00:22:57,706
Speaker 3: was obviously the Patriots. And Meredith Vieira is a huge Patriots.

427
00:22:57,146 --> 00:23:00,106
Speaker 1: Fan, is she Okay? I didn't know that, yeah.

428
00:22:59,866 --> 00:23:05,346
Speaker 3: And it was we we I as confident as I

429
00:23:05,426 --> 00:23:08,506
Speaker 3: was the year the year before. I was like, oh

430
00:23:08,506 --> 00:23:10,546
Speaker 3: my gosh, we're gonna win this year. After that catch,

431
00:23:11,026 --> 00:23:14,626
Speaker 3: I was like, we're gonna win. And then it was

432
00:23:14,786 --> 00:23:19,546
Speaker 3: like somebody had tied our shoelaces together. And it was

433
00:23:21,066 --> 00:23:24,826
Speaker 3: like my son, who's sixteen now, like whenever we see highlights,

434
00:23:24,826 --> 00:23:26,786
Speaker 3: if those come on, he just takes off.

435
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:29,626
Speaker 1: Was he old enough to like appreciate it, because that's

436
00:23:29,666 --> 00:23:31,586
Speaker 1: now we're going back ten years now, Like was he

437
00:23:31,626 --> 00:23:33,586
Speaker 1: old enough to like be a fan at that point?

438
00:23:33,866 --> 00:23:37,506
Speaker 3: So he was six and I think it was enough.

439
00:23:38,986 --> 00:23:43,426
Speaker 3: So he had so been indoctrinated by his parents, like

440
00:23:43,506 --> 00:23:51,386
Speaker 3: we were some sort of fundamentalist Mormon cult and I yes, So,

441
00:23:51,826 --> 00:23:55,826
Speaker 3: I mean you can imagine walking you were probably there,

442
00:23:55,826 --> 00:23:59,106
Speaker 3: he's there and walking out with the with you know,

443
00:23:59,186 --> 00:24:03,946
Speaker 3: walking out with the crowd. I like just stunned, just absolutely,

444
00:24:04,626 --> 00:24:08,306
Speaker 3: I'll never forget as half be as I was. There's

445
00:24:08,466 --> 00:24:12,466
Speaker 3: just the stunnedness as the year before it was. It

446
00:24:12,546 --> 00:24:13,106
Speaker 3: was not good.

447
00:24:13,586 --> 00:24:15,866
Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a great what if? Because

448
00:24:15,906 --> 00:24:18,346
Speaker 1: obviously that game is a horrible loss for the Seahawks

449
00:24:18,386 --> 00:24:20,106
Speaker 1: and their fans and they haven't been back to Super

450
00:24:20,146 --> 00:24:24,106
Speaker 1: Bowl since, and whatever if they had won two straight

451
00:24:25,266 --> 00:24:27,306
Speaker 1: and then you go into the next year and your

452
00:24:27,346 --> 00:24:28,906
Speaker 1: rolling looking to be the first team ever to go

453
00:24:28,946 --> 00:24:32,386
Speaker 1: win three straight. You don't. Then obviously from that all

454
00:24:32,426 --> 00:24:34,746
Speaker 1: the stuff with Russ and the defense and Pete and

455
00:24:34,786 --> 00:24:37,186
Speaker 1: it all comes undone. But like, it's one of the

456
00:24:37,226 --> 00:24:39,186
Speaker 1: great what is It's not just one game to me,

457
00:24:39,426 --> 00:24:42,466
Speaker 1: that one that's not just like, uh all right, it's

458
00:24:42,506 --> 00:24:45,266
Speaker 1: it's Nick Foles does a Philly special like this one

459
00:24:45,826 --> 00:24:47,546
Speaker 1: that could have been the team of the generation, and

460
00:24:47,546 --> 00:24:48,826
Speaker 1: that could have been the team of the decade. And

461
00:24:48,866 --> 00:24:51,626
Speaker 1: that kind of just was one super Bowl and then

462
00:24:51,706 --> 00:24:53,226
Speaker 1: I lost from the Super Bowl. That's what it was.

463
00:24:53,866 --> 00:24:56,506
Speaker 3: We went, Yes, to get there twice, as you know,

464
00:24:57,066 --> 00:25:00,626
Speaker 3: to get there at all, and then to get there

465
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:04,466
Speaker 3: twice in two years, Yes, all those things, and it

466
00:25:04,546 --> 00:25:08,186
Speaker 3: felt like Nicholas Cage in The weather Man or whatever

467
00:25:08,226 --> 00:25:15,266
Speaker 3: that movie is where he imagines this other life and mean, yeah,

468
00:25:15,306 --> 00:25:19,066
Speaker 3: so yeah, no I go back and so all yeah.

469
00:25:19,106 --> 00:25:21,906
Speaker 3: I mean even like I talked to Gronk because he

470
00:25:22,066 --> 00:25:26,146
Speaker 3: was on Animal Control, a very nice man, as we've already,

471
00:25:27,026 --> 00:25:30,386
Speaker 3: and he was like, oh, I broke your heart, didn't.

472
00:25:30,186 --> 00:25:34,626
Speaker 6: I like, like like I had broken up with someone

473
00:25:34,866 --> 00:25:36,546
Speaker 6: and there or they had broken up with me and

474
00:25:36,546 --> 00:25:38,986
Speaker 6: they were like, oh I I see it was like

475
00:25:39,066 --> 00:25:41,466
Speaker 6: it was was not I wasn't as into the relationship

476
00:25:41,466 --> 00:25:42,026
Speaker 6: as you were.

477
00:25:42,546 --> 00:25:44,786
Speaker 3: And I understand how hard that is for you now,

478
00:25:44,906 --> 00:25:45,706
Speaker 3: And isn't.

479
00:25:45,546 --> 00:25:47,746
Speaker 1: It Isn't it chilling when you talk to the players

480
00:25:47,786 --> 00:25:50,266
Speaker 1: like it's a fan and they're like like they're so

481
00:25:50,426 --> 00:25:52,386
Speaker 1: not affected by it, and it's just like, oh, yeah, no,

482
00:25:52,426 --> 00:25:53,946
Speaker 1: that was a part of my career, but like you're like, no,

483
00:25:54,106 --> 00:25:56,026
Speaker 1: this is like the best day of my life. And

484
00:25:56,066 --> 00:25:58,026
Speaker 1: they're like yeah it was, yeah, that's cool, and we

485
00:25:58,066 --> 00:25:59,186
Speaker 1: want a super Bowl. That's good.

486
00:25:59,786 --> 00:26:02,106
Speaker 3: And you know he told me when we were shooting

487
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:05,426
Speaker 3: Animal Control, he goes, yeah, I was like because he

488
00:26:05,506 --> 00:26:07,506
Speaker 3: we were talking about the past play and everyone's looked

489
00:26:07,626 --> 00:26:10,666
Speaker 3: to believe they called that, you know, he said in

490
00:26:10,786 --> 00:26:14,426
Speaker 3: the huddle or said like on the sideline, he said Belichick,

491
00:26:14,466 --> 00:26:17,506
Speaker 3: And this is why Belichick was brilliant. Belichick said, they

492
00:26:17,586 --> 00:26:21,146
Speaker 3: might run something like this, they might try this, and

493
00:26:21,306 --> 00:26:23,066
Speaker 3: so it was in the back of the player's brain

494
00:26:23,146 --> 00:26:25,466
Speaker 3: so like they might throw a pass here, and then

495
00:26:25,746 --> 00:26:29,026
Speaker 3: it happened, and they were like, that's his sort of

496
00:26:29,466 --> 00:26:34,346
Speaker 3: his his amazing ability to predict, you know, like what

497
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:39,106
Speaker 3: could happen? So anyway, it was what it was. It

498
00:26:39,186 --> 00:26:44,106
Speaker 3: was yeah, bad, bad, bad times. But the fact that

499
00:26:44,146 --> 00:26:47,426
Speaker 3: I can even talk about it is really this counseling

500
00:26:47,466 --> 00:26:48,746
Speaker 3: session has gone, well.

501
00:26:49,146 --> 00:26:51,226
Speaker 1: Yeah, and have you do you have a relationship with

502
00:26:51,226 --> 00:26:54,026
Speaker 1: Marshawn or with Russ or with Shirm, Like, do you

503
00:26:54,026 --> 00:26:55,506
Speaker 1: have a relationship with those guys from that era?

504
00:26:56,186 --> 00:26:59,746
Speaker 3: I text with Russ once in a while, and I

505
00:26:59,786 --> 00:27:02,986
Speaker 3: am and everyone's look to believe that good. I'm I

506
00:27:03,146 --> 00:27:04,706
Speaker 3: truly am thrilled for him.

507
00:27:05,106 --> 00:27:07,706
Speaker 1: Everyone has to be. There's no way his career could

508
00:27:07,746 --> 00:27:09,466
Speaker 1: end the way it did in Denver. That's not cool.

509
00:27:10,266 --> 00:27:15,346
Speaker 3: No, And he and his like he's the night like

510
00:27:15,426 --> 00:27:19,066
Speaker 3: that dude went to the Seattle Children's Hospital every single

511
00:27:19,146 --> 00:27:24,626
Speaker 3: piece and was just so and uh, I don't I've

512
00:27:24,626 --> 00:27:27,626
Speaker 3: done a couple of things with Sherman. I'm going on

513
00:27:27,826 --> 00:27:32,866
Speaker 3: Marjahn's podcast next week, I believe. And uh, there was

514
00:27:32,866 --> 00:27:35,946
Speaker 3: nothing funnier than when he wasn't answering questions and then

515
00:27:35,946 --> 00:27:38,506
Speaker 3: he realized he had to say something or he'd get fine,

516
00:27:38,986 --> 00:27:42,146
Speaker 3: and he would just go uh huh. And then there

517
00:27:42,146 --> 00:27:45,186
Speaker 3: would be posters in Seattle of him like looking off

518
00:27:45,186 --> 00:27:50,106
Speaker 3: into the distance and it just said yep, and they

519
00:27:50,146 --> 00:27:54,306
Speaker 3: were so funny. Oh yeah he was, and he was

520
00:27:54,386 --> 00:27:57,786
Speaker 3: really And you can tell when players are cool to kids,

521
00:27:57,826 --> 00:28:00,226
Speaker 3: you can like there, they were always being with my kids.

522
00:28:00,226 --> 00:28:02,506
Speaker 3: So that it went along with.

523
00:28:11,786 --> 00:28:13,986
Speaker 1: Let's go back to your childhood. Obviously grew up in

524
00:28:14,066 --> 00:28:20,706
Speaker 1: Washington State and you were in theater as a high school. Yeah, okay,

525
00:28:20,746 --> 00:28:22,506
Speaker 1: so go on tell me and then you.

526
00:28:22,666 --> 00:28:26,426
Speaker 3: I was, I was such a bad student, and uh,

527
00:28:26,466 --> 00:28:29,626
Speaker 3: the only thing I was good at was chasing a ball.

528
00:28:30,466 --> 00:28:32,706
Speaker 3: And like, so I was like a golden retriever of

529
00:28:32,746 --> 00:28:36,386
Speaker 3: a human being because of my ADHD and my dyslexia.

530
00:28:36,466 --> 00:28:39,386
Speaker 3: So I was just like ball and I would run

531
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:41,946
Speaker 3: after ball. So I played tons of sports and then

532
00:28:43,266 --> 00:28:45,626
Speaker 3: I did a couple of plays and I was like, oh,

533
00:28:45,746 --> 00:28:48,426
Speaker 3: this is really fun if I can just kind of

534
00:28:48,786 --> 00:28:51,146
Speaker 3: because I just thought sports and theater they were kind

535
00:28:51,186 --> 00:28:53,666
Speaker 3: of these like people didn't take them.

536

594
00:31:38,666 --> 00:31:41,346
Speaker 3: but we lived for two years in New Jersey, and uh,

595
00:31:41,826 --> 00:31:44,346

Speaker 3: was a Disney Uh, the theatrical adaptation of the ride

597
00:31:50,346 --> 00:31:54,786

598
00:31:55,386 --> 00:31:58,866
Speaker 3: how early it began was we we did It was

599
00:31:58,866 --> 00:32:01,906
Speaker 3: like a play in a book. And then they were like,

600
00:32:02,386 --> 00:32:06,586
Speaker 3: you're gonna be wearing later hosen. Yeah yeah. And I

601

603
00:32:14,186 --> 00:32:16,786
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's it's it's been canceled twenty years ago.

604
00:32:18,186 --> 00:32:20,706
Speaker 1: My question is is that like an original or is

605
00:32:20,706 --> 00:32:23,266
Speaker 1: that something that other high schools were probably doing or

606

Speaker 3: was like, they're on regular cable, why can't we do that?

773
00:41:51,386 --> 00:41:53,746
Speaker 3: And yeah, they were like, we just can't and uh

774
00:41:53,786 --> 00:41:55,546
Speaker 3: and then we then they made fun They let us

775
00:41:55,546 --> 00:41:58,226
Speaker 3: make fun of the Kardashians who had just started on E.

776
00:41:58,346 --> 00:42:01,426
Speaker 3: And it was this tiny little show on E and

777
00:42:01,826 --> 00:42:06,586
Speaker 3: it obviously it worked out and uh and so it

778
00:42:06,666 --> 00:42:10,666
Speaker 3: was this wonderful open frontier of and nobody watched the

779
00:42:10,706 --> 00:42:15,386
Speaker 3: show for a year and Ted Harbert, who was the president,

780
00:42:15,666 --> 00:42:17,506
Speaker 3: liked the show, so he kept it on. So we

781
00:42:17,706 --> 00:42:21,386
Speaker 3: just crowned and it was I was so lucky because

782
00:42:21,426 --> 00:42:25,866
Speaker 3: I got used to say the reading teleprompter and doing

783
00:42:25,946 --> 00:42:27,786
Speaker 3: what I know, they're just kind of telling jokes. I

784
00:42:27,826 --> 00:42:32,026
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, we'll try this one and yeah, boy.

785
00:42:32,346 --> 00:42:34,546
Speaker 3: And that was five years in or four years in.

786
00:42:34,626 --> 00:42:38,066
Speaker 1: And so Annie Roberts, who's the executive you give credit to,

787
00:42:38,266 --> 00:42:43,386
Speaker 1: she watched your tapes from the scene comedy or the commercials.

788
00:42:43,786 --> 00:42:46,546
Speaker 3: She saw me on commercials. I know, yeah, I didn't

789
00:42:46,586 --> 00:42:50,906
Speaker 3: have any I don't have any tape, but nobody cared.

790
00:42:51,226 --> 00:42:54,666
Speaker 1: But I would imagine the job like everyone in the groundlings,

791
00:42:54,706 --> 00:42:56,866
Speaker 1: everyone in Second City. I'm sure everyone was trying out

792
00:42:56,906 --> 00:42:57,146
Speaker 1: for this.

793
00:42:58,706 --> 00:43:02,226
Speaker 3: I know the two. I know who it was narrowed

794
00:43:02,266 --> 00:43:05,066
Speaker 3: down to, and one of them was a friend of

795
00:43:05,066 --> 00:43:08,746
Speaker 3: mine named Matt Corboy, who is who is super funny,

796
00:43:09,066 --> 00:43:12,146
Speaker 3: and I to this day I'm like, why didn't he

797
00:43:12,186 --> 00:43:12,506
Speaker 3: get it?

798
00:43:12,546 --> 00:43:14,026
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's.

799
00:43:13,786 --> 00:43:18,626
Speaker 3: Great, and and so we yes, I think that there

800
00:43:18,706 --> 00:43:21,786
Speaker 3: was a very long there was a he was it

801
00:43:21,786 --> 00:43:23,586
Speaker 3: took like six months to get the job. And that

802
00:43:23,746 --> 00:43:26,106
Speaker 3: wasn't because they were seeing the world. It was just

803
00:43:26,146 --> 00:43:30,626
Speaker 3: because he didn't. They were kind of, you know, very nonchalant.

804
00:43:30,706 --> 00:43:32,466
Speaker 3: And then when they put us on and saw how

805
00:43:32,546 --> 00:43:35,266
Speaker 3: cheap it was. At first, They're like, ten, there was

806
00:43:35,306 --> 00:43:39,666
Speaker 3: a time kids, when programming the actual day really mattered.

807
00:43:39,666 --> 00:43:42,386
Speaker 3: In ten o'clock on a Friday night was a desert.

808
00:43:42,666 --> 00:43:43,786
Speaker 3: It was a dead zone.

809
00:43:45,466 --> 00:43:48,146
Speaker 1: On ABC with you downs.

810
00:43:47,506 --> 00:43:50,506
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were like, hey, you beat a rerun

811
00:43:50,506 --> 00:43:53,706
Speaker 3: of Sex in the City, and I'd be like, thank you,

812
00:43:54,506 --> 00:43:58,066
Speaker 3: thank you so much and uh. And then it slowly

813
00:43:58,546 --> 00:44:02,746
Speaker 3: started started working. And that was twelve years of my life.

814
00:44:03,026 --> 00:44:05,386
Speaker 1: Twelve years. And I've been doing Good Morning Football for

815
00:44:05,466 --> 00:44:09,986
Speaker 1: nine years and I like it's yesterday over those twelve years.

816
00:44:10,306 --> 00:44:13,586
Speaker 3: Obviously that and that's why Good Morning Football. So, I mean,

817
00:44:13,586 --> 00:44:16,346
Speaker 3: you got, you know, the combination of you guys and

818
00:44:16,386 --> 00:44:18,826
Speaker 3: the comedy, the fact that you guys put so much

819
00:44:18,906 --> 00:44:24,546
Speaker 3: humor into it, and it's so important because boy is

820
00:44:24,586 --> 00:44:28,506
Speaker 3: something there. People can rattle off all the facts and

821
00:44:28,546 --> 00:44:32,066
Speaker 3: everything that happened, but you can't intelligently make fun of

822
00:44:32,106 --> 00:44:37,226
Speaker 3: it and be be funny. It's who cares.

823
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:39,466
Speaker 1: It also helps that Kyle and I can rattle off

824
00:44:39,546 --> 00:44:42,986
Speaker 1: Mother love Bone references just like we do Eric Dickerson references.

825
00:44:43,026 --> 00:44:46,066
Speaker 1: We go on culture. It's like you go sports and

826
00:44:46,106 --> 00:44:46,506
Speaker 1: you're a.

827
00:44:46,506 --> 00:44:48,506
Speaker 3: Lot better than me and you know, mother love.

828
00:44:48,386 --> 00:44:52,306
Speaker 1: Bone, that's the attle. Let's go all right. So then

829
00:44:52,706 --> 00:44:55,146
Speaker 1: the Soup obviously is this huge hit and then you're

830
00:44:55,186 --> 00:44:59,066
Speaker 1: on one of the biggest comedies of the era in community.

831
00:44:59,066 --> 00:44:59,826
Speaker 1: How does that happen?

832
00:45:00,706 --> 00:45:03,706
Speaker 3: Well that it wasn't the biggest comedy.

833
00:45:03,746 --> 00:45:08,506
Speaker 1: Oh here though, and then now considered like it became.

834
00:45:08,986 --> 00:45:12,466
Speaker 3: Yeah, we ate. We were like cheese and or or

835
00:45:12,506 --> 00:45:16,306
Speaker 3: a festering wound. We just kept growing and bothering people

836
00:45:16,306 --> 00:45:18,946
Speaker 3: to the point where they're like, we cannot not pay attention.

837
00:45:19,706 --> 00:45:22,226
Speaker 3: At the time Glee, we came at the same year

838
00:45:22,266 --> 00:45:25,426
Speaker 3: as Glee, and they broke the record for Emmy nominations

839
00:45:25,626 --> 00:45:27,906
Speaker 3: and they had a big sign and they were also

840
00:45:27,906 --> 00:45:30,786
Speaker 3: a paramount and the big sign that said like sixteen

841
00:45:30,826 --> 00:45:37,346
Speaker 3: Emmy nominations in our said community zero Emmy nominations and yes,

842
00:45:37,466 --> 00:45:40,906
Speaker 3: so that we were. I got on that show because

843
00:45:41,306 --> 00:45:44,506
Speaker 3: I was on E and it was owned by Comcast,

844
00:45:44,746 --> 00:45:47,266
Speaker 3: and I read the script and asked if I was like,

845
00:45:47,306 --> 00:45:50,626
Speaker 3: I want if I can get in this audition and

846
00:45:50,746 --> 00:45:54,306
Speaker 3: Dan Harmon's girlfriend at the time, who was a Soup fan,

847
00:45:54,826 --> 00:45:56,826
Speaker 3: and she was like, oh, you got to see that guy,

848
00:45:57,186 --> 00:46:02,906
Speaker 3: and uh so I once again got extremely lucky for

849
00:46:02,946 --> 00:46:05,986
Speaker 3: getting that the chance to audition for it, and then

850
00:46:06,146 --> 00:46:10,266
Speaker 3: you know, and then Donald Glover's career really tanked after that.

851
00:46:10,266 --> 00:46:12,106
Speaker 1: That was it. That was the height, that was.

852
00:46:12,346 --> 00:46:16,786
Speaker 3: That was it was so it uh it Yeah. No,

853
00:46:16,906 --> 00:46:19,026
Speaker 3: at the time, we were going to be canceled every

854
00:46:19,106 --> 00:46:23,266
Speaker 3: single season we were on isn't and then we were

855
00:46:22,866 --> 00:46:26,226
Speaker 3: Then we were picked up by Yahoo Screen, which was

856
00:46:26,306 --> 00:46:30,466
Speaker 3: a very short lived streaming service, literally a two year

857
00:46:30,506 --> 00:46:33,426
Speaker 3: long streaming service. And then when they went down, they

858
00:46:33,466 --> 00:46:37,586
Speaker 3: blamed us, which I can take. It's like I can

859
00:46:37,866 --> 00:46:41,866
Speaker 3: take credit for taking down a streaming service. So I'm

860
00:46:41,866 --> 00:46:44,026
Speaker 3: just thank you, thank you.

861
00:46:44,826 --> 00:46:48,106
Speaker 1: Our producer, Aaron wang Kaufman, who you've been so kind

862
00:46:48,146 --> 00:46:51,106
Speaker 1: to since you joined the podcast, is a die hard

863
00:46:51,146 --> 00:46:54,066
Speaker 1: Community fan and wanted to pepper you with one question.

864
00:46:54,746 --> 00:46:57,666
Speaker 2: Go for it, yes, Aaron, so Joel, I actually changed

865
00:46:57,666 --> 00:47:00,186
Speaker 2: my question. I have three scripts in front of me.

866
00:47:00,426 --> 00:47:02,746
Speaker 2: I have It's a Small World, I have The Lady

867
00:47:02,746 --> 00:47:04,586
Speaker 2: from the Sea, and I have Community. I'm going to

868
00:47:04,626 --> 00:47:07,186
Speaker 2: read you a line and you tell me which project

869
00:47:07,226 --> 00:47:09,626
Speaker 2: that was from. All right, okay, here we go. This

870
00:47:09,706 --> 00:47:13,066
Speaker 2: is yeah, this is a quiz for you. Character one.

871
00:47:13,186 --> 00:47:15,706
Speaker 2: I was flying home to Neverland, and I was listening

872
00:47:15,786 --> 00:47:17,666
Speaker 2: out for all the music that I always love to

873
00:47:17,706 --> 00:47:20,106
Speaker 2: hear when I'm flying home, but I couldn't hear anything.

874
00:47:20,346 --> 00:47:23,186
Speaker 2: Pinocchio's house was nearby, so I stopped off to see

875
00:47:23,186 --> 00:47:26,186
Speaker 2: if he knew what was going on. Is that it's

876
00:47:26,226 --> 00:47:30,266
Speaker 2: a small world? Is that lady by the sea from

877
00:47:30,306 --> 00:47:31,546
Speaker 2: the sea, or is that community?

878
00:47:31,986 --> 00:47:36,146
Speaker 3: I don't think Ibsen did a lot of lying. It

879
00:47:36,226 --> 00:47:40,306
Speaker 3: was just a lot of like, uh, there's a lot.

880
00:47:40,346 --> 00:47:44,386
Speaker 3: There was a lot that would have been the last

881
00:47:44,426 --> 00:47:47,626
Speaker 3: thought of the grandma who was dying in a chair

882
00:47:48,306 --> 00:47:52,506
Speaker 3: for the entire play. Uh. So, obviously it's either community

883
00:47:52,906 --> 00:47:57,306
Speaker 3: or it's a small world. And I'm just gonna say

884
00:47:57,306 --> 00:47:58,706
Speaker 3: it's community.

885
00:47:58,786 --> 00:48:02,386
Speaker 2: Because that's from the very famous Disney spoof episode that

886
00:48:02,426 --> 00:48:05,186
Speaker 2: you guys did. No, that's that's the world.

887
00:48:06,626 --> 00:48:09,226
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I wouldn't put it past our

888
00:48:09,266 --> 00:48:11,906
Speaker 3: playmation episode that if Abed had said that.

889
00:48:12,226 --> 00:48:14,826
Speaker 2: Do you uh? If you had obviously you guys had

890
00:48:14,866 --> 00:48:17,586
Speaker 2: so many great genre spoofs. If you guys were doing

891
00:48:17,626 --> 00:48:20,506
Speaker 2: like a draft day spoof, who within the study group

892
00:48:20,586 --> 00:48:22,266
Speaker 2: is going to be the GM, who's going to be

893
00:48:22,306 --> 00:48:26,706
Speaker 2: the coach, who's going to be you know, the president

894
00:48:26,826 --> 00:48:30,226
Speaker 2: of the team. Who's going to be going.

895
00:48:30,506 --> 00:48:32,826
Speaker 3: I would have to go back between two thousand and

896
00:48:32,946 --> 00:48:39,706
Speaker 3: nine and twenty fifteen. But right now, that's a good question. Well,

897
00:48:39,706 --> 00:48:42,666
Speaker 3: we'd have to have Peter and Kyle Long of course.

898
00:48:44,386 --> 00:48:47,746
Speaker 2: They teaching a class at Green or.

899
00:48:47,866 --> 00:48:51,706
Speaker 3: They were like murderers loose in the school for some reason. Yeah,

900
00:48:53,906 --> 00:48:58,386
Speaker 3: And then I, jeez, I think we would try to well,

901
00:48:58,386 --> 00:48:59,986
Speaker 3: it's a good I think we try to get like,

902
00:49:01,426 --> 00:49:04,386
Speaker 3: I don't know, like Roger Federer to come in with

903
00:49:04,506 --> 00:49:08,466
Speaker 3: a thick Swiss accent and and uh and he would

904
00:49:08,546 --> 00:49:13,266
Speaker 3: I don't know, he would probably be our Tom Brady boy.

905
00:49:14,186 --> 00:49:17,506
Speaker 3: And then oh boy, and you will yet Flavor Flay.

906
00:49:17,706 --> 00:49:20,066
Speaker 3: You know, we referenced flavor.

907
00:49:20,786 --> 00:49:24,946
Speaker 1: That's it, all right, community aside. Obviously, I've had this

908
00:49:24,986 --> 00:49:27,226
Speaker 1: amazing career. And then I'm at the Super Bowl a

909
00:49:27,306 --> 00:49:29,266
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and I'm in this random group

910
00:49:29,546 --> 00:49:32,546
Speaker 1: with Paul Rudd and his kid and Baby Face and

911
00:49:32,586 --> 00:49:34,946
Speaker 1: his kid, and we're at Pizzeria Bianco. And then I

912
00:49:34,986 --> 00:49:37,906
Speaker 1: see the biggest smile I could ever imagine, and it's

913
00:49:38,026 --> 00:49:41,186
Speaker 1: Joel McHale with Gordon Ramsay walking through the door. Now

914
00:49:41,226 --> 00:49:43,666
Speaker 1: you're part of the Fox Family and you're on these shows.

915
00:49:43,946 --> 00:49:47,266
Speaker 1: You got two shows. Now take us through how you

916
00:49:47,386 --> 00:49:50,026
Speaker 1: got embedded into the Fox world and then how awesome

917

Speaker 1: these two programs are?

918
00:49:51,466 --> 00:49:54,786
Speaker 3: Oh? Well that you know again, I cannot believe my

919
00:49:56,066 --> 00:49:59,746
Speaker 3: when they came to me with Crime Scene Kitchen because

920
00:49:59,786 --> 00:50:03,786

00:51:27,186 --> 00:51:30,186

947
00:51:31,626 --> 00:51:33,626
Speaker 1: This is like the smoothest cat I've ever seen. And

948
00:51:33,626 --> 00:51:34,906

949
00:51:34,906 --> 00:51:36,506

Speaker 3: and Chaer was in the box next to us. Cool

956
00:51:53,746 --> 00:51:56,426
Speaker 3: and he was way more impressed with Gordon Ramsey.

00:51:56,906 --> 00:51:59,986
Speaker 1: All right, So so they they have a Fox Super

958
00:52:00,026 --> 00:52:02,226
Speaker 1: Bowl this year. I assume I'm not going to make

959
00:52:02,226 --> 00:52:04,066
Speaker 1: any assumptions, but I hope you're there. I hope.

960
00:52:05,226 --> 00:52:07,706
Speaker 3: I think I've already started the campaign. I was like,

961
00:52:07,786 --> 00:52:11,266
Speaker 3: maybe I can't hide in the wheel well of the Hagen.

962
00:52:11,346 --> 00:52:15,066
Speaker 1: We'll be Hagen. We'll do that, but they I'll take

963
00:52:15,066 --> 00:52:17,186
Speaker 1: you back. A couple of months ago, probably before the season,

964
00:52:17,186 --> 00:52:18,986
Speaker 1: I saw a jelly Roll for like the fifth time

965
00:52:19,026 --> 00:52:21,026
Speaker 1: in concert. I love this guy. And I go on

966
00:52:21,066 --> 00:52:24,586
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, NFL Network show and I'm like, jelly

967
00:52:24,666 --> 00:52:27,746
Speaker 1: Roll should do halftime. Everyone loves jelly Roll jelly rolls.

968
00:52:27,786 --> 00:52:30,186
Speaker 1: And I got a text from someone that knows these things.

969
00:52:30,266 --> 00:52:31,946
Speaker 1: It's like, it's not gonna be jelly rolling, Like General

970
00:52:31,986 --> 00:52:34,146
Speaker 1: pres shouldn't do halftime. Like that's just not really, Like

971
00:52:34,186 --> 00:52:37,466
Speaker 1: it's not the best thing. I think you should host

972
00:52:37,586 --> 00:52:40,506
Speaker 1: NFL Honors on Fox this year, and it's been Keegan

973
00:52:40,546 --> 00:52:43,786
Speaker 1: Michael Key in recent years, it's been Steve Harvey before that,

974
00:52:44,266 --> 00:52:47,706
Speaker 1: it's on Fox. Joel Am, I am, I am, I

975
00:52:47,746 --> 00:52:48,866
Speaker 1: barking up the wrong tree here.

976
00:52:48,866 --> 00:52:55,306
Speaker 3: Can I make terrible news for you? It's Kendrick Lamar.

977
00:52:58,746 --> 00:53:00,426
Speaker 3: I'm available. I'm happy to do.

978
00:53:01,466 --> 00:53:03,626
Speaker 1: I want this. I feel like you'd be so funny.

979
00:53:03,906 --> 00:53:05,906
Speaker 1: I would work on your writing team. We would take

980
00:53:05,906 --> 00:53:08,666
Speaker 1: the piss every I mean, no one's made a joke

981
00:53:08,666 --> 00:53:11,066
Speaker 1: about Belichick dating a twenty four year old until we

982
00:53:11,226 --> 00:53:12,506
Speaker 1: do it on NFL Honors.

983
00:53:12,946 --> 00:53:14,626
Speaker 3: How is that off limits?

984
00:53:14,626 --> 00:53:17,866
Speaker 1: Like taboo or something? It's real, guys. He's out there,

985
00:53:18,186 --> 00:53:21,866
Speaker 1: he's posing as a fisherman holding a woman as a mermaid,

986
00:53:21,906 --> 00:53:23,226
Speaker 1: and we're not allowed to joke about it.

987
00:53:23,706 --> 00:53:29,626
Speaker 3: How he's not Is he work? Is he he's not employed? Right?

988
00:53:29,746 --> 00:53:30,386
Speaker 3: Is he employed?

989
00:53:30,746 --> 00:53:33,786
Speaker 1: He works for every media company and he's on NFL

990
00:53:33,866 --> 00:53:36,306
Speaker 1: Films and NFL Network. So I guess maybe we're not

991
00:53:36,306 --> 00:53:38,706
Speaker 1: supposed to it's a it's a fun story. I think

992
00:53:38,746 --> 00:53:39,386
Speaker 1: he would laugh.

993
00:53:40,306 --> 00:53:44,746
Speaker 3: And I'm you know, he seems to be happy. I mean, sure,

994
00:53:44,786 --> 00:53:48,586
Speaker 3: it's crazy, but uh, if you had said this ten

995
00:53:48,666 --> 00:53:50,626
Speaker 3: years ago, we'd be like, he's going to be dating

996
00:53:50,626 --> 00:53:54,706
Speaker 3: a woman who is uh currently in grade school?

997
00:53:55,106 --> 00:53:57,426
Speaker 1: Yeah, we would say that's that's that's a story to

998
00:53:57,426 --> 00:53:57,906
Speaker 1: talk about.

999
00:53:58,426 --> 00:54:01,146
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I mean that's my push. He was

1000
00:54:01,226 --> 00:54:02,946
Speaker 3: always very sexy on the sideline.

1001
00:54:03,066 --> 00:54:05,266
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. All right, So I will talk to my sources

1002
00:54:05,306 --> 00:54:07,946
Speaker 1: at the NFL you tube, I'm your sources at Fox

1003
00:54:08,386 --> 00:54:10,746
Speaker 1: I'm in. I would like you hosting that. I'm not kidding.

1004
00:54:11,826 --> 00:54:14,306
Speaker 3: Who's there? The Kelly Clarkson hosted and she killed She

1005
00:54:14,386 --> 00:54:14,706
Speaker 3: was great.

1006
00:54:14,746 --> 00:54:16,346
Speaker 1: She was great. That was a really good one. That

1007
00:54:16,466 --> 00:54:18,586
Speaker 1: was good. That was in La. I want to say

1008
00:54:18,666 --> 00:54:19,426
Speaker 1: that was where that was?

1009
00:54:20,266 --> 00:54:22,506
Speaker 3: That was in Arizona, Arizona.

1010
00:54:23,186 --> 00:54:25,586
Speaker 1: It was Arizona. You're right, Phoenix.

1011
00:54:25,906 --> 00:54:28,026
Speaker 3: I think Jim Brown I think that was his last appearance,

1012
00:54:28,066 --> 00:54:30,266
Speaker 3: and I think Kyle Kyle had a run up down

1013
00:54:30,266 --> 00:54:33,306
Speaker 3: the aisles streaming.

1014
00:54:33,786 --> 00:54:36,146
Speaker 1: We laughed about that in the green room, you me

1015
00:54:36,186 --> 00:54:38,226
Speaker 1: and Kyle afterwards, and I think Jim Brown passed like

1016
00:54:38,426 --> 00:54:39,746
Speaker 1: a couple of years later, and I was like, it

1017
00:54:39,786 --> 00:54:41,586
Speaker 1: might have been the last time we saw Jim Brown.

1018
00:54:41,666 --> 00:54:43,626
Speaker 1: Was you yelling angry runs in his face? That might

1019
00:54:43,666 --> 00:54:44,106
Speaker 1: have done it?

1020
00:54:44,626 --> 00:54:47,106
Speaker 3: Oh? How killed it? That was good?

1021
00:54:47,546 --> 00:54:47,946
Speaker 1: That's good.

1055
00:56:32,146 --> 00:56:34,426
Speaker 1: Seahawks have a big one against the Cardinals this weekend.

1056
00:56:34,466 --> 00:56:36,746
Speaker 1: But let's talk about last week real quick, because it's

1057
00:56:36,786 --> 00:56:39,786
Speaker 1: the season with Peter Shaker's delivering results presented by our

1058
00:56:39,826 --> 00:56:42,746
Speaker 1: sponsors at Uber Eats, and we give out an award

1059
00:56:42,826 --> 00:56:46,666
Speaker 1: presented to the player or the team that delivered in

1060
00:56:46,706 --> 00:56:49,466
Speaker 1: the biggest of moments, and I'm giving it to Russell

1061
00:56:49,626 --> 00:56:53,666
Speaker 1: Wilson who had four hundred and fourteen passing yards and

1062
00:56:53,746 --> 00:56:56,586
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and a shootout with Joe Burrow last week.

1063
00:56:56,906 --> 00:56:58,666
Speaker 1: And just as we were ready to jump off the

1064
00:56:58,706 --> 00:57:01,506
Speaker 1: Steelers bandwagon when they lost to the Browns in the snow,

1065
00:57:02,186 --> 00:57:04,906
Speaker 1: they come back the following week and they put up

1066
00:57:04,946 --> 00:57:07,226
Speaker 1: forty four points and they should. They do have the

1067
00:57:07,266 --> 00:57:10,826
Speaker 1: offensive firepower to compete in the AFC with the Heavies,

1068
00:57:11,106 --> 00:57:15,106
Speaker 1: the Bills, and the Chiefs. Russell Wilson, his best game

1069
00:57:15,146 --> 00:57:17,786
Speaker 1: as a Steeler, put up huge yards, the first time

1070
00:57:17,826 --> 00:57:19,986
Speaker 1: a Steelers quarterback has thrown from more than four hundred

1071
00:57:20,026 --> 00:57:23,066
Speaker 1: yards in three touchdowns since Big bended it in twenty eighteen.

1072
00:57:23,586 --> 00:57:26,266
Speaker 1: And now Russ has another big game against those same

1073
00:57:26,306 --> 00:57:29,266
Speaker 1: Browns that beat them in Cleveland about two weeks ago.

1074
00:57:29,906 --> 00:57:32,386
Speaker 1: That's gonna be Sunday, and I am excited to see

1075
00:57:32,426 --> 00:57:35,626
Speaker 1: how that goes down. That was delivering results presented by

1076
00:57:35,706 --> 00:57:37,746
Speaker 1: Uber Eats, where you can get the best deals on
