<v Speaker 2>and our radio affiliates around the country, iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio,

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and in some cities ESPN Radio. NFL preseason, the final

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 2>week starters are going to rest, and you have two

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>games on Thursday. You got games all weekend long. College

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>football starts this weekend. And we realized that there was

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>a Delaware States trying to get to Hawaii to play

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 2>a game. They missed their flight in New York and

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>their game is going to be Saturday night, but it

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>would be it would start at twelve eastern for Delaware State,

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>and so I would think Hawaii is already a big

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 2>favorite here. We were trying to get an update is

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.559
<v Speaker 2>Delaware State going to make it to Hawaii, and Paulie said,

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 2>right now, he's trying to get in touch with the

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Delaware State program.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have their hands full right now, but we're

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 3>expecting an email back any minute. We did find a

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 3>little bit about the line was twenty eight and a

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 3>half and then after the travel issues with Delaware State,

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.279
<v Speaker 3>it went up to thirty eight. Those people in Vegas,

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 3>they know what they're doing. What a poorly rested Delaware

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.399
<v Speaker 3>State team might not put up as much of a fight.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>That's so Vegas to say. Bonus coverage. The Hawaii Rainbow's name,

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 3>the team was always the Warriors, and then they changed

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 3>to the Rainbow Warriors. Back in the seventies. The reporters

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 3>noticed that there was a couple wins where there was

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>a rainbow that happened during the game, and they had

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>this running gag like there's a rainbow, we win, and

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 3>became the Rainbow Warriors in nineteen seventy four, they dropped

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 3>the rainbow part in two thousand didn't go over well,

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 3>and in twenty thirteen, Why rightly brought back Rainbow Warriors

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>as the sports team name.

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like the Bows better than they do. The Warriors.

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Gorgeous helmets, the Rainbow gorgeouses. Yes, very underrated. All right,

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So we got football coming up this weekend. It's what

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>zero week or Week zero as opposed to the first

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>week of college football. I was also wondering about this

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 2>now with the twelve team playoff and how you schedule

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>your games outside of your conference. If you're in the

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>SEC or you're in the Big Ten, are you going

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>to schedule somebody outside of your conference? Look at Oregon,

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Penn State, and Ole Miss, three programs that have a

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of talent on there, but playoff hopes. You know,

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 2>they would normally not happen because there were only four

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>teams in the playoffs. Three playoff hopefuls set to play

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 2>seven teams that are ranked in the preseason top twenty five.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Combined those three schools, and in prior years you could

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs, but it would be difficult if you

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>were adding these teams that were really good. Eight additional

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 2>teams now set to participate in the playoffs, so the

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>schedule doesn't have to be as tough as it was.

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>It's not as beneficial because you did need strength the schedule.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Now it's just hey, we can get in and be

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>one of these twelve teams. And I don't know if

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>this is going to change out a conference scheduling and

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe on its way out, but just for instance, here,

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State plays four teams ranked in the top twenty

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>five this year. This is preseason. Obviously, Georgia has five

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 2>in the top twenty five. Oregon has just two in

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the top twenty five, but they do have Ohio State

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>in Eugene, Texas four of twenty five. Notre Dame three

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty five. Penn State has two of the

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>top twenty five opponents, Ole Miss three. Alabama has five

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>of the top twenty five. Alabama plays Wisconsin this year.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>If you have five games against ranked opponents in the SEC,

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>what does that mean? You know what is to gain?

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're Alabama from here on out with a twelve

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>team playoff, if they're going to be playing teams outside

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>of their conference. You got Michigan and Texas second week

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>of the season, You're probably not going to have those

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>matchups down the line because of the twelve team playoff. Yeah,

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Pauli and the other part of that.

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to schedule a big, big opponent in

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 3>the first week, a second week of the season, it

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 3>might be that neutral site game Clemson at Georgia Saturday,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>August thirty first, they're playing that at Mercedes Benz Stateium Atlanta,

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 3>or you know, like the Cowboys Stadium they always host

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 3>a big game, or Innanapolis will host a game. So

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>those early season matchups Texas remember a couple years ago,

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Texas would play Ohio State, but they would do home

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 3>at home. Those will be more neutral sites because you

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 3>get more money, more payouts that way.

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, Texas played Alabama a couple of years ago. Opening

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 2>up this season, or at least one of the early seasons,

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>NBC and the NFL kicking off the season. Two big

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>matchups coming up Thursday, September fifth, it's the Ravens and

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs that'll be on NBC and Peacock. And then on

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Friday live from Brazil it's the Packers in the Eagles

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 2>that is on Peacock exclusively. Man, it got here quick,

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't it. And the fact that we're going to play

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>a game in Brazil to open up the second night

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>of the season, and then you're going to have Sunday

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Night with NBC as well, But it's a full slate

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 2>coming up, and it starts off with NBC and Peacock.

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>You have what forty days to go in the baseball season,

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>so you have Orioles, Guardians, Astros, Phillies, Brewers, and the Dodgers.

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>You look at the odds and it really comes down

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 2>to it's the Dodgers. They got the Yankees, the Astros

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>in there. Of teams that can win at all, those

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 2>are the favorites. Braves have suffered so many injuries, but

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>forty days to go, and those are the teams that

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>are in the first place, and you're going to get,

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, this stretch drive and who's going to stay healthy.

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I think the MVPs are pretty much settled. Otani and

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Judge. Does that sound about right? I don't think

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>we've wavered on that. I think the only interest maybe, well,

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>how many home runs does Aaron Judge get to and

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>as show, hey Otani get to maybe maybe fifty to fifty?

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>All right? We tease this long enough first hour poll

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>question Manliest State in America, because I of course am

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>in one of those Manley states Maine. This week Seaton.

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>The manliest state in America is.

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 4>Well.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 5>Of these six options that we've provided, uh one, it's

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 5>getting closer as time goes by. One has been in

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 5>the lead since and has no out let go. The other,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 5>as of this moment, has received zero votes.

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, your options are we took Alaska out of the

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 2>equation here, right, they're emeritus, They're they're the manlea state. Right,

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 2>They're the.

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Wildest, They're the manliest. Your options are Arizona, Maine, Montana,

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 5>North Dakota, Wyoming, Texas.

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>One. Wait, why did you put it Arizona in there?

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 6>Because Arizona I feel like just based on the number

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 6>of old people go to retire. Okay, well, they're doing

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 6>a lot better than one of these other states that

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 6>is on there. Okay, Arizona right now is I'll say this,

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 6>Arizona is almost tied with Texas for manley estate.

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Once again.

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 5>One state has has taken the lead and never given

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 5>it up. The other one, as of right now, has

0:07:52.800 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 5>zero votes. Arizona, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Texas, Wyoming. I'm

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 5>gonna say North Dakota is the manly estate. North Dakota

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 5>right now is winning. Uh they've got a solid hold on.

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 5>It's getting closer, though, they're only leading by three percentage points.

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 7>Right now.

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>The state that has received exactly zero votes is Maine.

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh are you to blame?

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 8>That's it.

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a recency buy in at the shot. Wait, I

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>came up to Maine and now it's not mainly anymore.

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>We're huge in Maine.

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 7>You know what.

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Because it's mainly is what it is. It's not manly,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 2>we're mainly. I am shocked. I am shocked. Wow, they're

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna export you. Yes, I'm gonna have to turn in

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:55.720

<v Speaker 2>joked we went out for a wedding. We thought that

<v Speaker 2>one of our kids could get picked up by one

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of these mosquitos. They were They were so there there

<v Speaker 5>pretty strong, strong percentage as well. Right now, the races

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 5>between North Dakota and Mountana for manly estate.

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna throw the BS flag on that

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think because I got to make if

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't here, Maine would probably be leading. Apparently. Well,

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.239
<v Speaker 2>you're you're taking it very personally.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if it's a statement on you and

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 5>your manliness or lack thereof.

0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.640
<v Speaker 2>That's you know what. I'm going to credit the audience

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>for having a sense of humor. Yeah, that's pretty good.

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>That's its content.

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Paul, I wonder if Maine is suffering suffering some

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.480
<v Speaker 3>spillover because people around the country.

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>In tougher states. I think the Northeast is soft.

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 3>You know Connecticut and you know Massachusetts, Connecticut is yes, yes,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>but Maine would seceed from the Northeast if they could.

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 3>They would be their own country.

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>If they could. They're they're pretty tough up there. Yes,

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean we're right up there. Well, maybe being up

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 2>close to Canada, say, way hurt Maine. Yeah, five days,

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.320
<v Speaker 2>it can be wicked cold up here.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, I don't know that Rhode Island is helping

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 5>our cause either. As no imple of a state, You're like, well,

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 5>yeah they are, I guess. But as I knew what happened,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 5>Texas has immediately jumped into the lead right now because

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:17.959
<v Speaker 5>I knew that they would not stomach this whatsoever?

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.800

<v Speaker 9>you got to pay attention to this one. You gotta

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 9>have some piece of equipment lawnmower, track their vehicle and

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 9>have to sit on your front lawn. It doesn't have

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.600

<v Speaker 3>Gotta admit I did find one thing for you, Dan,

0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>a main tradition. It's Alan's coffee flavored brandy, number one

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 3>selling spirit in the Great State of Maine.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:58.920

<v Speaker 2>going to put my boat in there. The equipment. Yeah,

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.000

<v Speaker 2>like to say, I need that. Maybe, uh work boots.

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.320

<v Speaker 2>us coming up here in a moment. A couple of

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 2>phone calls Dan in South Bend. Hey Dan, what's on

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 2>your mind today? Hey Dan?

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 11>Thanks for taking my call. I was gonna see if

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 11>anybody would take me up on a pie of the

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 11>safe bet. I think the Giants are gonna win eight games?

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So anybody want a piece of Dan in South

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Bend that the Giants will win at least eight games? Todd,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess I should, because I said the Giants would

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>be the worst team in football, so it would make

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 2>sense for me to accept that bet.

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:10.120
<v Speaker 8>All right?

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Dan? That one pretty?

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 4>Can I give you?

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 9>Gather it?

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 11>A little tit bit about Joe Shane. Okay, one of

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 11>his best friends is Brad Stevens. They graduated together from DEPA.

0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 11>So it's a pretty good graduating class that DePaul Depa

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 11>from Southern Indiana.

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't know what that has to do with

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>possible success for the Giants there, but you got them

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 2>winning at least eight games. Pie to the face Dave

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 2>in California, Good morning, Dave. What's on your mind today?

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.600
<v Speaker 12>Going there? I just heard you mentioned earlier on the

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 12>show that you felt that Aaron Judge Show he would

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 12>be in two league MVPs if show had not gone

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:56.800
<v Speaker 12>to the National League and he was having the same

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 12>season as he's having. Now, did you vote for GMV

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 12>Pupil the American Let Show, hay or Aeron Judge?

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think you got a factor in team Day.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's a really interesting question. I think

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the fact Otani has surprised me. He has been this

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 2>good coming off surgery and I know, not pitching. But

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 2>if he goes if he's forty forty, it would really

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>depend on how successful his team is. Aaron Judge and

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Judge tough to come up with an encore performance

0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.159
<v Speaker 2>considering what he did last year. But once again, it

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.119
<v Speaker 2>goes back to team's success should factor in when it

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>comes to MVP, and that might tip the scales towards

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Judge if show Hay was still with the Angels.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>A pole question has to do with the Manley estate,

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.800
<v Speaker 2>and I am very disappointed in this audience because they

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 2>have designated Maine as the least manly estate, probably because

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 2>I am doing my show from Maine today. Jim and

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Idaho joints is Hi, Jim, what's on your mind? Dan?

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:01.880
<v Speaker 7>Boys?

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 4>How the hell are you?

0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:04.400
<v Speaker 9>Hey?

0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Great? Jim?

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:10.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm really offended that Idaho did not make the

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:11.399
<v Speaker 4>whole question today.

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:11.880
<v Speaker 8>Here's why.

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Let me give you a real world example of roughing

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:19.880
<v Speaker 4>it up her by other day, my fiber optic went out,

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 4>couldn't get the internet, couldn't connect to my Peloton bike.

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 4>So that's that's not roughing it. I don't know what

0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm a good guy.

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Prayers all right, thank you, Jim? Yeah, thaunts and prayers.

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Somebody check on Jim and Idaho make sure he's okay.

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Adam in West Virginia, Hi, Adam, what's on your mind?

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 13>Dan, speaking of the mainly of state, al could seton

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:49.000
<v Speaker 13>who's been to WU not put West Virginia in there.

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 13>I mean, well, I don't drink anybody. We had the

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.840
<v Speaker 13>best white water in the country. We have the Mountaineer.

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 13>I mean, isn't there that? And Texas is soft dand

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 13>they shouldn't be in the poll because I mean, anybody

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 13>that gets defended by you know, horns Down, that's weak.

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 2>That's okay, all right, Adam, thank you. I like this

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>kind of mud slinging here between the states, and I

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 2>agree if horns Down bothers you, how manly can you

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 2>be in your state of Texas? Do you want me

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.199
<v Speaker 2>to disqualify Texas just based on horns Down? We can

0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 2>pull them all right down. We won't even have them

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 2>on the list anymore.

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:27.680
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Montana, by the way, has jumped into the lead. We

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.560
<v Speaker 5>have Montana, followed by North Dakota. Texas is in third,

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 5>though they'll be removed shortly.

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Main don't you have all those Hollywood types who've moved

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to Montana. They're they're they're soft. They're not going to

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.359
<v Speaker 2>go up there and rough it. How he long you know,

0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.400
<v Speaker 2>lives in Montana. Yes, yes, I shouldn't say that he's

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 2>not man. I was going to say that kind of

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.639
<v Speaker 2>helps Montana's longs there. Yeah, yeah, you're right, let me

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 2>take that out.

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Howie's head should be the Montana state fly. He's

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 3>got that big jawline.

0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:01.960
<v Speaker 2>He's so tough.

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I would say that that TV show Yellowstone really hoped

0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:08.560
<v Speaker 3>helped Montana's toughness. Like we knew about ranchers and you know,

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 3>ranching and stuff like that, but when a bad rancher

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 3>on Yellowstone got out the line, they just.

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Dispose of them, if you know what I mean. That's tough.

0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a TV show. Poll I know people thought it

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 2>was real. It's not real documentary. It's not a documentary.

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:29.480
<v Speaker 2>It is an unauthorized biography of Aaron Rodgers. Ian O'Connor, sportswriter,

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>New York Times best selling author, And the new book

0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>is Out of the Darkness, The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers.

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Why Aaron Rodgers, Well, it starts with Vince Lombardi.

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 14>Vincelambardi coached my high school. Is the only head coaching

0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:46.840
<v Speaker 14>job you ever had before the Green Bay Packers. And

0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.000
<v Speaker 14>he lived eight houses away from me in Anglood, New Jersey.

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 14>And so I was always fascinated by the Packer mistake

0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 14>and thought I had that Packers book.

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 8>Inside of me, so I guess this is the one.

0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 14>But Aaron from a distance, I always found him to

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 14>be compelling, mysterious, intriguing.

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:04.520
<v Speaker 8>He got traded into my backyard.

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 14>I was working on a Lebron James bio and I

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 14>pivoted away from it to Aaron because I think he's

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.200
<v Speaker 14>a fascinating character, and I thought the marriage of him

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 14>and this Charlie Brown franchise in New York would make

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:19.639
<v Speaker 14>for a great story. So far hasn't been so great.

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 14>We'll see how it plays out this year. But that's

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 14>why I took the project on.

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:29.000
<v Speaker 2>How do you avoid preconceived opinions notions of Aaron Rodgers.

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 14>It's not easy, but I was determined to go into

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 14>this open minded, and I think some of his friends

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:37.600
<v Speaker 14>early on. I ended up talking to two hundred and

0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:40.240
<v Speaker 14>fifty people, As Aaron said, I reached out to five

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 14>hundred and half called me back, that's about right, and

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:45.399
<v Speaker 14>a lot of his friends, I think, early on, in

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 14>close associates were concerned that I had an agenda that

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.080
<v Speaker 14>Frankly and one of his friends told me this that

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:54.320
<v Speaker 14>you're a media guy from New York, probably liberal, looking

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.359
<v Speaker 14>to destroy Aaron in this book and that couldn't be

0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 14>further from the truth. I had absolutely no agenda, what's

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:02.440
<v Speaker 14>so ever, and I wanted to be open minded about

0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 14>the vaccine, his stance on that and everything else, including

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 14>the conspiracy theories, and so I think I warmed down

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 14>over time, and that's the reason that he agreed to

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 14>sit down with me at his home in Malibu.

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Unauthorized versus authorized. How different would this book be if

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>it was authorized?

0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 14>Well, when it's authorized, Dan, obviously it's that subject's truth

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 14>as opposed to the truth or the pure truth. And

0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 14>I think that unauthorized A lot of people readers think

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 14>it's a dirty word, like it suggests a trash book.

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.080
<v Speaker 14>It's really a badge of honor. I think it's closer

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.440
<v Speaker 14>to a pure form of journalism, and the ideal is

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 14>unauthorized biography with the subject's cooperation. With Aaron, I didn't

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.919
<v Speaker 14>get full cooperation. That would have required fifteen to twenty hours.

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 14>I got two hours with him at the end of

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 14>the process to check all of my facts, and he did.

0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 14>He was very candid and thoughtful and engaging at his

0:22:59.160 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 14>home on the Pacific. It was a great backyard setting

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:04.520
<v Speaker 14>for those two hours. But he made the book better,

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 14>and I very much appreciate that.

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to figure this out because is he leading

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 2>us to believe that he wants to be left alone

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 2>do his own thing, but then still enjoys the spotlight.

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 14>I think he wants to be talked about. I think

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:24.199
<v Speaker 14>he always has, and I think he leans into it now.

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 14>Back in August of twenty one, those four words, yeah,

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 14>I've been immunized. That turned him into a villain. Before then,

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 14>he was considered one of the more socially aware athletes

0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 14>and sports. He was celebrated by the same journalists who

0:23:36.640 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 14>then turned on him after the truth came out about

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 14>his unvaccinated status.

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 8>And I think after that he decided to really.

0:23:44.119 --> 0:23:47.320
<v Speaker 14>Dig in and if the media wanted to go to

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 14>war with him, he would be a willing participant in

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 14>that war. But I think at the end of the day,

0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:54.760
<v Speaker 14>he likes creating news cycles. He can do it just

0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 14>rolling out of bed. I've rarely seen an athlete who

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:02.080
<v Speaker 14>could command the the way he can. It's amazing that

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 14>here we have a Kansas City and Patrick Mahomes going

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:08.359
<v Speaker 14>for a three peat and Aaron Rodgers who hasn't been

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:10.400
<v Speaker 14>to the Super Bowl in a long time is still

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 14>by far the most talked about person in the league,

0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 14>and that's really a major reason why I decided to.

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 8>Do this book.

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Does he care what the public things thinks?

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:22.359
<v Speaker 8>He's humans, so he cares.

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:26.800
<v Speaker 14>He does, and he's admitted to me, at least in

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 14>one answer, that it does hurt when he gets criticized.

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.640
<v Speaker 8>But he's a fearless public speaker.

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 14>I do, on a certain level give him a lot

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 14>of credit for that, because I'm not and I think

0:24:36.359 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 14>most people aren't, and he's willing to sometimes unfortunately defend

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 14>indefensible positions on things. But yeah, I think the criticism

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 14>has hurt him, and I think he was hurt after

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.480
<v Speaker 14>those four words. Yeah, I've been immunized when he felt

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 14>that he had some media allies who weren't there for him.

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 14>He thought he would get some support and some of

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.719
<v Speaker 14>those allies would rush to his side, and that did

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:04.360
<v Speaker 14>not happen. So Yeah, he bleeds too, and I think

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 14>that he tries to do a good job of not

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:07.880
<v Speaker 14>showing that, but it's there.

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 7>He is.

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Ian O'Connor. The book is Out of the Darkness, The

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Mystery of Aaron Rodgers. Any similarities with other people you've

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 2>profiled with coach k Bill Belichick, Derek Cheeter, Arnold Palmer,

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Jack Nicholas.

0:25:21.600 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 8>Good question, Dan.

0:25:22.480 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 14>I think the one similarity is, and that's why I

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 14>was surprised he admitted to me he made a mistake

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:32.480
<v Speaker 14>with his COVID stance back in twenty twenty one, is

0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:36.639
<v Speaker 14>that they don't admit mistakes, these greats coaches and athletes.

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 8>They don't admit weakness and faults and errors, and they

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 8>never say I'm sorry.

0:25:43.119 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 14>And I've come to believe the reason is because they

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 14>fear that weakness will follow them into the competitive arena

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 14>and compromise their chances of winning and winning at a

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 14>big time level and becoming an all time great. And

0:25:56.600 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 14>I think, really, when Aaron admitted to me he made

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 14>a mistake and wishes he had a mulligan on his

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 14>not his stance because he's still anti vaccine, but just

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 14>the way he did it and didn't tell his truth

0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:10.760
<v Speaker 14>at the time, which was he was allergic to an

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:14.000
<v Speaker 14>ingredient a Pfizer and Maderna and concerned about Johnson and

0:26:14.040 --> 0:26:14.959
<v Speaker 14>Johnson's side effects.

0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:17.400
<v Speaker 8>Said why didn't you just say that? And he says, yeah,

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 8>I should have said it. It was a mistake.

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:23.320
<v Speaker 14>But when you admit fault guys like Aaron Rodgers, coach,

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.400
<v Speaker 14>k Derrek, Cheeter, Belichick, when's the last time you heard

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:28.480
<v Speaker 14>any of them say I'm sorry about anything? And I

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 14>really think it comes down to they think it will

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 14>hurt them in competition, and that's why they don't do it.

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:39.080
<v Speaker 2>If you gave Rogers a due over a mulligan of

0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:42.760
<v Speaker 2>going to the Jets or the Jets bringing Aaron Rodgers in,

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:47.200
<v Speaker 2>does anybody have a different opinion on that either side.

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.280
<v Speaker 8>No, I think Aaron would still do it. I think

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:52.440
<v Speaker 8>the Jets would still do it.

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 14>Of course after this season, if they have a losing

0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.360
<v Speaker 14>season or he's hurt again, I think the answer would

0:26:57.359 --> 0:27:00.600
<v Speaker 14>be different. But Aaron was no longer wanted Green Bay.

0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:04.119
<v Speaker 14>He knew that effectively that was a firing. Even though

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 14>he pushed for the trade. He saw this great opportunity

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 14>Dan in New York to if he wins a ring

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 14>for a franchise in the big city that has not

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 14>been to the Super Bowl since January sixty nine, that's

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 14>going to feel like three rings and it's going to

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:20.480
<v Speaker 14>be Messia in ninety four for the Rangers on steroids

0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.320
<v Speaker 14>and I think looking at Brady with seven rings and

0:27:23.520 --> 0:27:26.439
<v Speaker 14>Aaron with one, he can't close that gap. But if

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 14>he wins the big one for the Jets, it's going

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 14>to feel like he really did close that gap.

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 8>And I think he saw that as a great opportunity,

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:35.479
<v Speaker 8>and I agree with him.

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I wonder about his career how he've views it because

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 2>he's often referred to as the most talented quarterback or

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.719
<v Speaker 2>maybe the one or two most talented quarterbacks to ever

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.560
<v Speaker 2>played the game, but he has won Super Bowl. Has

0:27:49.640 --> 0:27:52.879
<v Speaker 2>it been a disappointment to him in what he's accomplished,

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 2>even though he's been League MVP quite a few times,

0:27:57.560 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think the.

0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.119
<v Speaker 14>League MVPs helps a little bit, and he did win

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 14>more of those than Tom Brady, but he that's not

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.800
<v Speaker 14>what people count. They count the rings and he's down

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 14>six to the guy he will always be compared against,

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 14>and that hurts. But he didn't have Belichick, arguably the

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 14>greatest coach of all time. He didn't have Josh McDaniels,

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:19.600
<v Speaker 14>the best offensive coordinator in the league, and he didn't

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 14>have that Patriot Way support system.

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 8>There are people who believe.

0:28:22.320 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 14>That Aaron would have won three, four, five, maybe six

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.600
<v Speaker 14>rings with the Patriots in the same situation, Brady was

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 14>in special teams and defense and coaching were factors in

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.159
<v Speaker 14>some of those bitter playoff defeats. If you look at

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 14>particularly the period Dan from twenty thirteen through sixteen, those

0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 14>four seasons of lost postseason opportunities, Aaron made big, sometimes magical,

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 14>sudden death plays in each of those seasons, and there's

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 14>nothing but failure in the box scores. So I do

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:55.080
<v Speaker 14>think his eleven to ten postseason record can be a

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:57.880
<v Speaker 14>little misleading. But at the end of the day, he's

0:28:57.960 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 14>barely over five hundred in the playoffs and he can't

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 14>really run.

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:01.840
<v Speaker 8>Away from that.

0:29:03.520 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 2>You let me go back to you saying that he

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 2>got fired by the Packers. Did he get himself fired?

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Like it's one thing that you know the franchise is

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 2>going to turn on you, but it felt like they

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:17.160
<v Speaker 2>were at a point of no return that they had

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 2>to do that.

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 8>Well he ended up.

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 14>It was a very similar situation to Brett farre ironically enough,

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 14>and Aaron was on the good side of that one

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 14>and now on the bad side of the franchise wanting

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 14>to turn it over to Jordan Love. And I think

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 14>that they always had later in his career the upside

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 14>and the downside of employing Aaron Rodgers, but the downside

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 14>got greater in that you had him. He wanted more personnel, say,

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 14>and influencing decisions, and that's not really the pack away.

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 14>I think they gave him a little bit more late

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 14>in his career, but not enough. And then suddenly he's

0:29:51.360 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 14>not making the playoffs. That last year he looked like

0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 14>a diminished player misses the playoffs. So we're not getting

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 14>the upside when Aaron's healthy where we're getting in the

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 14>play basically every year.

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 8>So they wanted to move on.

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:06.960
<v Speaker 14>He knew that, and again with the Jets, it was

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 14>a great opportunity, Hey, go to the big city. I'm

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 14>coming from the smallest market in the NFL. Let me

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 14>go to the biggest and try to pull off something

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 14>that would be pretty iconic. And so it was both

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 14>parties knew they had to have this divorce. But deep

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:26.000
<v Speaker 14>down he's hurt by that, and people close to him

0:30:26.040 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 14>told me that. And so ideally, if he could reach

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 14>the Super Bowl, I think the team he would want

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 14>to face and beat is the Green Bay Packers for

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 14>obvious reasons.

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 2>What was the one question that you wanted an answer to.

0:30:40.080 --> 0:30:43.480
<v Speaker 14>Family estrangement, and he did address some of that on

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:46.960
<v Speaker 14>the record, and I appreciated that because he didn't know

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.600
<v Speaker 14>me an answer to that question. But it's gone on

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 14>now for nearly ten years, and it's a complicated issue.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 14>There's not one defined moment, dan or issue that separated

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 14>this family. But I was happy that he agreed to

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 14>address that and also addressed that he his father told

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 14>me that they had a hug last year at Lake

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 14>Tahoe at the celebrity golf tournament, and Aaron came over

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.720
<v Speaker 14>in the middle of his Saturday round, saw his father

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 14>in the crowd and gave him a hug and said

0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 14>I love you, and Ed Rodgers was crying, and it.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 8>Was an emotional moment.

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 14>It only lasted about thirty seconds, but it meant something

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 14>to both men. Aaron wanted to be his father. His

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 14>father was his idol when he was growing up. And

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.240
<v Speaker 14>so Aaron told me for the book, and this is

0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 14>the first time he's ever said this publicly. He wants

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 14>to have a relationship with a family member, this being

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 14>his father, and so hopefully that happens. And I think

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 14>the road to family reconciliation will run through Ed Rodgers,

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 14>and let's hope it happens sooner rather than later.

0:31:46.920 --> 0:31:49.720
<v Speaker 2>If you had to predict what is Aaron Rodgers doing

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>after he's done playing, I think.

0:31:51.840 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 8>He'll be one of the best analysts in a network booth.

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 14>Ever, and I know he says he doesn't really have

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 14>interest in that, but when he's talking football, there's nobody

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 14>like him. I think he's even better at it, or

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:05.720
<v Speaker 14>would be than Brady and Peyton Manning.

0:32:06.400 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 8>He's a computer.

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:11.120
<v Speaker 14>When he's talking football, it's mesmerizing and I think he

0:32:11.160 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 14>would be unbelievable at it. And I don't see another

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.200
<v Speaker 14>path for him. I don't think politics is the answer.

0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 14>I think he'll stay in football and that seems to

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 14>be the natural second career for him.

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Good to talk to you, Ian, Good luck with the book.

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Hey, damn my pleasure.

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 8>Thank you.

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Ian O'Connor. Out of the Darkness with Aaron Rodgers, and

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot in there now. He did say, could

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you see him being an analyst? And I didn't think

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 2>of that, But then he would be a good analyst.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know. Is it something that would excite him.

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that it's like Peyton Manning wanted more

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>than just being an analyst. Tom Brady I thought would

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 2>want more than just being an analyst. But he is

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 2>getting paid an exorbitant amount of money. I get that.

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought that that would be ownership stuff. I know

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 2>he's involved with the Raiders. Same thing with Peyton. I

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>just feels like, you guys, I mean, Paul, do you

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 2>think Aaron Rodgers analyst is something that would satisfy someone

0:33:12.760 --> 0:33:15.960
<v Speaker 2>like that who's so curious? And it almost feels like

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>I got to dumb myself down to talk football America.

0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 3>I've always found that Aaron Rodgers is a bit of

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:24.640
<v Speaker 3>a no at all, and that's not necessarily an insult.

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually complimenting his football knowledge. When you talk football,

0:33:27.920 --> 0:33:30.239
<v Speaker 3>he gets really into it. I think he needs an

0:33:30.240 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 3>outlet for that. I think he's one of those guys

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:34.520
<v Speaker 3>who will do the games and then you won't see

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 3>him for seven months. I don't I can't see him

0:33:36.360 --> 0:33:39.479
<v Speaker 3>as a year round type media person, but a guy

0:33:39.520 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 3>who's going to do games and you won't.

0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 2>He'll be gone, all right, We'll take a break when

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.080
<v Speaker 2>we come back. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel. When

0:33:48.240 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 2>he shows up it's time to leave. We're going to

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>have him tell you the manliest state weather wise, and

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 2>also if we were going to be a rapper in

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the state of Maine, what would our rap All of

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that coming up, and then Noah Lyles, the gold medal winner,

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 2>will join us top of the hour. We're back after this.

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.959
<v Speaker 2>I was just walking around here in the main cave

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:24.239
<v Speaker 2>and I went and got my axe. That seat and

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 2>bought me when I first decided that I was going

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:29.880
<v Speaker 2>to build something in Maine, I went out and got

0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>an axe thanks to Seaton. So, uh, there's a protective no,

0:34:34.280 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 2>no protective covering there, Paully. That's what you do. You

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 2>have a protective covering there and then that goes right

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 2>there and then if you're walking around, if you happen

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.840

<v Speaker 2>Speaking of tough, Jim Cantorea the Weather Channel. He travels

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:51.359
<v Speaker 2>all over and usually going to places that aren't very

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:53.839

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 2>The manliest state Okay, yeah, like horseh's weather, Like you've

0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:10.919
<v Speaker 2>got to be a man to live here. What would

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:12.239
<v Speaker 2>be your top dude?

0:36:12.320 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 7>Honestly, the worst.

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 15>The worst weather is Chicago, you know, dealing with the

0:36:19.800 --> 0:36:22.920
<v Speaker 15>wind off the lake because I was out doing live

0:36:22.960 --> 0:36:26.360
<v Speaker 15>shots one time. And you know, I didn't even notice

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 15>until I walked back into the truck. I'm like, guys,

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.200
<v Speaker 15>look at my no I'm looking in this little mirror.

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:32.560
<v Speaker 7>Look at my nose. It's white.

0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 15>I got frostbite on my nose. I didn't even realize

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.799
<v Speaker 15>that my cheeks were starting to turn white. So yeah,

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 15>Chicago's got to be Uh, that's gotta get that's got

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:42.760
<v Speaker 15>to get the wind in Okay.

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:46.440
<v Speaker 2>What about rural areas, Oh.

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:48.279
<v Speaker 15>My god, the outer banks in North Carolina. I mean,

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 15>they want to they want to hang me. They hate

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:52.680
<v Speaker 15>it when I come out there to cover hurricane because

0:36:52.680 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 15>I am.

0:36:53.200 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's not your fault here. You didn't ran the hurricane,

0:36:57.520 --> 0:36:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Dan tell them that.

0:36:59.320 --> 0:36:59.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay.

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:01.920
<v Speaker 15>By the way, when you when you were wheeling that

0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 15>axe earlier, I thought if they were going to do

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.279
<v Speaker 15>a remake for Fargo, I think you got it.

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.879
<v Speaker 7>I think you're a shoe in just sewing out.

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, speaking of Fargo, where like the coldest temperatures where

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:17.720
<v Speaker 2>you just got it? Because I'm in Maine and obviously

0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:25.120
<v Speaker 2>you know I'm manly, but uh, I.

0:37:25.160 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 15>Mean it's really the Northeast. There's just something about that

0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 15>biting cold after a storm. I mean one time we

0:37:30.000 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 15>were in Massachusetts in March for a thirty five degree

0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:37.960
<v Speaker 15>snowstorm and it was just like such a wet, gloppy

0:37:38.080 --> 0:37:40.840
<v Speaker 15>snow and it went inside all of my clothing. It

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:43.480
<v Speaker 15>was just like, I am like hypothermic right now, I

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 15>am absolutely I have to stop doing shots, so I'm

0:37:46.040 --> 0:37:46.759
<v Speaker 15>gonna freeze it out.

0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 2>So that was that was right, you get Well, Dakota's

0:37:50.160 --> 0:37:50.879
<v Speaker 2>got to be up there.

0:37:52.040 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 7>What's that?

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>North Dakota's got to be up North Dakota's got to

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:56.040
<v Speaker 2>be up north. You know what.

0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 15>For the record, that's the only place I have not

0:37:58.440 --> 0:38:02.479
<v Speaker 15>been for the Weather Channel to do coverage. I've done

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:05.279
<v Speaker 15>every other stake, every other stake except North Dakota. So

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 15>I gotta get that before I before I leave this. Okay,

0:38:09.719 --> 0:38:16.880
<v Speaker 15>well you have Montana, ye, Minnesota, Wyoming did a you

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:21.800
<v Speaker 15>know thing. It's a Yellowstone Minnesota. Minneapolis always cover snowstorms

0:38:21.840 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 15>up there.

0:38:23.719 --> 0:38:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, let's go around the room. If who thinks

0:38:27.239 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Jim Cantore has ever been struck by lightning? Polly, I'll

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 2>go to you. I know cantorya the Weather Channel.

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I know he wants to would be great for the brand,

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.200
<v Speaker 3>especially live TV I don't think he has.

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Todd, has Cantori been struck by lightning? I think

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:49.040
<v Speaker 2>he's been mildly electrocuted by lightning. Yes, what do you think?

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:49.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say no?

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:50.320
<v Speaker 13>I think.

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, Jim, hold on? Are you gonna say no? Marvin, No,

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say no. Jim your answer.

0:39:03.719 --> 0:39:06.359
<v Speaker 7>If I have, I don't know it, honest to God.

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.880
<v Speaker 15>I mean, I've been in thunder snow six different times

0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 15>with many different episodes of it, and that is something

0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:18.040
<v Speaker 15>you actually can get struck during. Speaking of Maine, the

0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:22.560
<v Speaker 15>only fatality that we have on record, Dan is a

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:24.759
<v Speaker 15>young man in Maine. He was out sledding and he

0:39:24.880 --> 0:39:28.040
<v Speaker 15>got thundersnow in the middle of a winter storm. So

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:30.399
<v Speaker 15>you can't actually get struck by it. But I don't

0:39:30.440 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 15>think that it's happened to me to the best of

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 15>my knowledge.

0:39:36.160 --> 0:39:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Delta's Delaware State is traveling to Hawaii and they're talking

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:40.520
<v Speaker 2>about maybe.

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:46.239
<v Speaker 7>They're trying to problems right, is.

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.759
<v Speaker 2>There a hurricane on the way, typhoons or what kind

0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.839
<v Speaker 2>of storm is headed towards Hawaii? Have you checked your

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:56.840
<v Speaker 2>live local late breaking doler Doppler super Dooppler radar.

0:39:57.920 --> 0:39:59.040
<v Speaker 7>Dan you know, I don't spend a lot of the

0:39:59.040 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 7>time on the Pacific stuff, but I'll do this for you. Okay,

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 7>now we do.

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:04.719
<v Speaker 15>We've been on this for the last days. First of all,

0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.040
<v Speaker 15>there's the area right there that we're looking at.

0:40:08.480 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 7>Okay, that's it. Here's Gilma behind that, and see another

0:40:13.239 --> 0:40:16.160
<v Speaker 7>invest behind that. Okay. So here's what it looks like

0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:18.280
<v Speaker 7>from a satellite perspective.

0:40:18.680 --> 0:40:22.720
<v Speaker 15>So there's Hawaii, you see it. Yeah, this this area

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:25.759
<v Speaker 15>that we're watching, there's actually two systems here that are

0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.239
<v Speaker 15>going to come together, and this is what they could

0:40:28.360 --> 0:40:31.800
<v Speaker 15>look like as they come towards whise. This is what

0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:34.719
<v Speaker 15>they call a GFS model. Hopefully this is pointed right

0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:37.360
<v Speaker 15>at it. So here's what it looks. Let's get together

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:40.840
<v Speaker 15>maybe tomorrow, and then it's working its way to the

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 15>west and then boom, here we are twelve Sundays. That

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:47.200
<v Speaker 15>Sunday morning. Let's just go back six hours. So this

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:51.360
<v Speaker 15>is about game time. It's pretty far away. Some Awahuo's

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 15>right there. That's where the game is going to be

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:55.960
<v Speaker 15>played and where I have the plus mark. So it's

0:40:56.000 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 15>pretty far away.

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:57.439
<v Speaker 7>There'll be some wind.

0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:00.960
<v Speaker 15>I think there'll be some wind here, But right now,

0:41:01.360 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 15>you know, the thing's got to come together, and it's

0:41:03.680 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 15>got to develop, and if it doesn't develop, it's not

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 15>going to be much at all. Listen, here's the deal.

0:41:09.480 --> 0:41:11.600
<v Speaker 15>Whether's the great equalizer They need to play this game.

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Jim. Jim Cantori meteorologists. Weather Channel will follow

0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 2>him up with who you would expect, Noel Lyles, the

0:41:24.120 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 2>fastest man in the world.
