Did it live up to 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: the hype? Bill's Mafia? Well, let's first got off by 18 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: saying they weren't necessarily the most welcoming group of people, 19 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. They didn't roll out the red 20 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: carpet for us um. However, you know, I didn't see 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: any tables being slammed. I didn't see anything crazy. I 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: didn't see the catch up guy with people porn catch 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: pinto ron. He didn't make an appearance, or at least 24 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: not that I saw. He probably probably got there. I 25 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: probably got there too early. But you know what, they 26 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: were rowdy. They were definitely rowdy. They were letting their 27 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: presence be known on the field, to the players, to 28 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: the Jets staff. So yeah, yeah, they had They lived 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: up to a little bit of the hype. I just 30 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: didn't get to see a lot of that. All right, Well, 31 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: next time and the next life or whenever, you to 32 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: go and be a part of Bill's mafia, maybe then 33 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: you'll get a more accurate assessment as opposed to working 34 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: for the Green and White. Yeah, maybe I'll go undercover 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: and maybe yeah, yeah, there you go. All right, So 36 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: the wings, we gotta check up on them. How are 37 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: the wings? How spicy were they? Why'd you go with? Alright, 38 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: good question. There were two different places you could go 39 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: to get wings. So we were told you to go 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: to Anchor Bar or this place. By we were referenced 41 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: to this place by our beloved e A. Eric Allen, 42 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: who is from Buffalo. Or Duff's. That's the one he 43 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: said he really liked. So me and a group of 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: people chose to go to Duff's. Now the thing about 45 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: that place. First of all, let me tell you all 46 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: the menu. They had an option to buy one thousand wings. 47 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: One thousand, literally, it was an option. It goes from 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: ten to a thousand. Many people need to be present 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: at a table to eat one a thousand wings, and 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: two is how much worse it was that it was 51 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty dollars for a thousand wings. I mean, 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: that's a pretty good price. It has a pretty good price. 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: That's less than a dollar a wing, you know. But 54 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: to me, I'm thinking that's probably more of a tailgate 55 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: presence you take it out to a bunch of people, 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, anything like a super Bowl party. Oh yeah, 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: super Bowl party, something like that. But so the spiciness, 58 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: this is another thing medium on their menu. It even 59 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: said it in the bottom as a caution. Is basically 60 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: compared to everybody else's extreme hot, yes extra not just 61 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: like not just normal hot extreme hout exactly, but a 62 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: normal buffalo is not like flavored. It's just normal buffalo. 63 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: It's normal buffalo. You can get different flavors, but if 64 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: you're going for the traditional and traditional medium, which is 65 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: extreme hot in other cities in a midor, no, no no, 66 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: I just said that was an option. See me, There's 67 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 1: no way I could have handled that. So I went 68 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: about three notches down, which would have been compared to 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, just normal, the normal hot flavor. And I'll 70 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: say the wings were pretty good. They lived up to 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: my expectations. However, they were not the best wings I've 72 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: ever had in my life. And I'm just gonna throw 73 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: this out there. I'm gonna throw in some shade here. 74 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: The guys I was sitting with right at least two 75 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: of them, only eight nine to ten winks. Okay, your 76 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: home girl over here chatted down on nine and a 77 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: half wings. So I'm just gonna throw that out there. 78 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Half nine and a half. You left the half alone. 79 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: Soldier out there, finish it. I'm sorry. Let's still counts. 80 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: That counts as a half more then all those other lamos. Okay, 81 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Olivia's coming in here. She's throwing 82 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: out shade, mad shade Oakland Raiders New York Jets week too. 83 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, Access and OS.

I gotta go traditional with the starbursts, although 98 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: I do like the tropical one, the little couple one. Anyways, 99 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,119 Speaker 1: So traditional starbursts or the fruit flavored mentos, Oh my god, 100 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: fruit fruit flavored mentos.

What would your 106 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: signature candy be on the sideline? Sour Patch Kids? Not 107 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: that watermelon stuff it's good, but sour Patch Kids for days. 108 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Sour Patch Kids.

I was a stockbroker in New York and 126 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: I moved out west in the late eighties early nineties, 127 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: and I was a stockbroker who called into sports talk 128 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: radio shows at the time, and that was my passion 129 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: calling in as a caller and used to call a 130 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Jim Rome, well, I'm sure 131 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: you're familiar with and I won his first ever caller 132 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: contest to smack off and I won that contest, and 133 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: long story short, I jumped into radio right after that, 134 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: and I got syndicated, and I got hired by the 135 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: Raiders to be their pre and post game host and 136 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: television host and sideline reporter in the preseason. And now 137 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: it's my nine teen season with the Silver and Black, 138 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: one year on the radio and seventeenth year being syndicated 139 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. So it's been a nice ride 140 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: with my Long Island roots from massa Peeka, Long Islands, 141 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: Long Island. I went to Farmingdale High School. I'm from 142 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: Massa Peak. I went to Genesee O State University, up 143 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: State New York. And I grew up fifteen minutes from 144 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Hofstra and about twenty five minutes to thirty minutes from 145 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: the Old Shay Stadium where I caught I don't even remember. 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to date myself, but when I caught 147 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: my first Jet game back in the day. But you know, 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: I grew up with Giants and Yankee roots. But being 149 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: so close to say back in the day when I 150 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: cut my teeth going a Jet game, So I got 151 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: deep roots with the Jets and family members who are 152 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Jet fans too, So it's a good fit. Others there 153 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: are you an anomaly because not a lot of Long 154 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: Island folk are Giants Yankees. They're more Mets in Jet. Yeah. 155 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: I I congratulate my dad for making that decision, and 156 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: I want to be my dad. My dad made the 157 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: decision when I was a kid, and my dad was 158 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: born in Bayside, Queens and my dad is a big, 159 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: big Yankee fan, nick fan Giant fans, so we went 160 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: down that direction, but my sister married into a Jet family, 161 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of my friends I grew up with 162 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: and went to high school with, and now friends who 163 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: are working with the Jets. So I have always respected 164 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: the Jets as a top notch organization and it's a 165 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: great connection with the Raiders because on the Official Raiders 166 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: podcast this week, I mentioned the first game I think 167 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: it was in October of nineteen sixty and if you 168 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: look at the Raiders and their history in the a 169 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 1: f L with the Jets, then the Raiders play in 170 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl super Bowl to too and lose to 171 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: the Packers, and then the Jets come in and win 172 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl three. That was an iconic moment for not 173 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: only the a f L connected teams, but for the 174 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: 't true of the a f C that the Jets 175 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: were the team to break through because the Raiders wanted 176 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: to be that team and win that Super Bowl three 177 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: and really bring the credibility to the a f L 178 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: and the a f C that we still look back 179 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: on today as an historic moment surrounded by the Jets. Wow, 180 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: that that's incredible. First of all, your background and how 181 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: you have that connection, but I mean it's phenomenal story. 182 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: So thank you for providing us with first that we 183 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: want to first of all dive into. And I'm sure 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: you get this a lot, but with the Jets traveling 185 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: all the way out to Oakland this Sunday for the game, 186 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: we wanted to touch on the black Hole. Now we've 187 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: we've read a lot up a lot about it, We've 188 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: done some research, and you know, to our understanding, these 189 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: fans can be extremely ruthless. So talk a little bit 190 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: about where that started, the tradition and kind of the 191 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: environment they bring, not only to the players, but just 192 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: at the game itself. It's one of the most incredible 193 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: things to see if you're a football fan, especially a 194 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: road fan, to see the black Hole started with a 195 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: small group of guys when the Raiders left to go 196 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: to l A and then came back. A couple of 197 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: the die hard fans in Oakland put together this group 198 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: that has grown and grown and grown. It started with 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: two to three guys who said they wanted to black 200 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: out the game on Sundays. They wanted everybody to wear 201 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: black to the games. And the black Hole has now 202 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: become what we call football's notorious fan base. So they 203 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: sit in the south end zone. But they don't sit. 204 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: They stand during the game, and they could stand as 205 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: far as thirty to fifty rows back. And I was 206 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: the first member ever inducted into the black Hole Hall 207 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: of Fame, and I'm very proud of that. And this 208 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: was a fan base that I used to stand in 209 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: that front row and hang over the edge and the 210 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: black Hole all the time. The language is in PG thirteen, 211 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: it's not rated G. But what the black Hole does 212 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: is they do everything they can to remain a rowdy 213 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: fan base, to use their language and their energy directed 214 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: at the opposition bench and the opposition players to try 215 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: to get in their head. It's not going It's not 216 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: like going to an Indianapolis Colt game or another game 217 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: where you have people sitting down behind the end zone, 218 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: sitting there looking at their phones. This is a notorious 219 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: fan base. You have to earn the right to get 220 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: your tickets down there. You have to be completely focused 221 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: on the game. The black Hole tailgate is one of 222 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: the best tailgates in all the professional sports. And these 223 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: fans mean business. They're there to have fun. They're a 224 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: family group. Some of them are doctors and lawyers and 225 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: cops and general contractors and truck drivers. But they show 226 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: up for Oakland Writer games and they mean business. And 227 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: when the Jets get introduced and they run out onto 228 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: the field, and if they go near the black Hole, 229 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: the black Hole will bark back right at them and 230 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: make sure they know they're in for a fight. Let 231 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: me ask you this, first of all, that's awesome to hear. 232 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: That's I didn't even know that much about it. If 233 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: I just know that the guerilla suits, yeah right, and 234 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: the death mass. If someone like Ethan and I were 235 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: to walk by in our jets, gere, would we just 236 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: completely get sucked up by the black Hole? That would 237 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: we regret it? No, you wouldn't regret it. But you 238 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: definitely hear from the black Hole. You definitely hear from 239 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: the crowd. You wouldn't Not only would you hear from 240 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: the black Hole, you would hear from the fans in 241 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: the North End zone. The fans behind the bench Raider 242 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: fans are not there in Oakland to make you comfortable. Uh, 243 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: They're not crazy. They're not gonna fight you there. You're 244 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: not gonna get see them go crazy and get arrested. 245 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: These are just fans who are very vocal and they're 246 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: gonna talk to you, and they're gonna tell you that 247 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: you're there to lose the game. So it's not as 248 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: intimidating as you would think, but it's an experience. I 249 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: brought opposing fans, including Jets fans, into the black Hole, 250 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: into the black Hole tailgate party, and you know, they'll 251 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: get a little ribbing here and there, and you know, 252 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: the trash talking will go back and forth, but you know, 253 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: the black Holes of group that I'm proud to know 254 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: these fans are really the best in all of sports. 255 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: The problem for them now and it's it's not a 256 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: problem because the Raiders aren't leaving Oakland for at least 257 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: three more seasons. But yeah, I always say this, the 258 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: black hole are the fans that are gonna be hurt 259 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: the most because these are the fans that fought hard 260 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: to keep the team in Oakland, are very passionate about 261 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: the team in Oakland, and their roots are in Oakland. 262 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: So as I tell people, this is not the time 263 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: to poke the Grizzly Bear, it's not the time to 264 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: poke the black hole. It's not the time to get 265 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: in the head of the Oakland Raider fan because they're 266 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: really focused on winning now. The goal of the Raiders 267 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: is to win a Super Bowl before they go to 268 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, and that starts right now against the Jets. 269 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: The Raiders are one and oh. They're looking to build 270 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: on this with the win against the Jets and the 271 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: home opener and get off to the races where last 272 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: year they won twelve games and they're looking to get 273 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: back to the postseason this year. I have one question 274 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: before who we move on from the black Hole? But 275 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: I gotta know it's not. You know, the Raiders success 276 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: is rather recent. Prior to that, when the Raiders were, 277 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, in a in a transitioning to build this 278 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: team that some people believe will represent the a f 279 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: C in the Super Bowl this year, was the black 280 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: Hole still rowdy? Yeah? I mean the black Hole again. 281 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: The black Hole just wants to win games. And I'm 282 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: gonna speak not just for the black Hole, I'll speak 283 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: for the entire Raider nation. You know, from the fans 284 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: who sit in the upper deck to the fans who 285 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: can't make it to the games, to the fans who 286 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: travel and live. You know, the Raiders are a global 287 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: fan base. They have fans all over the world and 288 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: everybody is completely focused now on a Super Bowl. This 289 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: is a franchise that has won three Super Bowls and 290 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: if you look at Super Bowl eleven, fifteen, and eighteen, 291 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: and now we're going into fifty two, it's been a 292 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: long time since the Raiders want a Super Bowl. The 293 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: Davis family cares about winning Super Bowls. That's their goal 294 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: every year. And now now it's a fun time because 295 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: the Raiders have struggled for well over a decade and 296 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders are trying now to be one of the 297 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: elite teams in football. And it started with the hiring 298 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: of Reggie McK enzi as the general manager of the 299 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: team and Jack del Rio as the new head coach, 300 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: and drafting Kellyl mac I think the best defensive player 301 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: in all of football, are about to become that and 302 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: obviously Derek Carr, the franchise quarterback who just signed a 303 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: long term deal. The Raiders are now built to start 304 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: a run, hopefully to be dominant for years to come. 305 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's move on here to uh via 306 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: the Al Davis Eternal Flame. Now, I don't know a 307 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: lot about this. I don't know if Olivia does either, 308 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: So just what what is the genesis of that, what 309 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: is the eternal flame and what happens, Well, the greatness 310 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: of the Raiders lies in its future. And Al Davis 311 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: has so many great quotes as you know, just win baby, 312 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: commitment to excellence. So when Mr Davis passed away, his 313 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: son Mark Davis and the Raider organization wanted to have 314 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: a way to pay tribute to him on game day. 315 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: So what happens is they have a flame in the 316 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: open end of one of the end zones in the 317 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: second deck, and they have a dignitary like the flame 318 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: before every home game. It could be you know, in 319 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: the preseason last week or the last preseason game it 320 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: was Marshawn Lynch's mom. It could be a former player, 321 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: Tim Brown, Marcus Allen when he Marcus Allen came back 322 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: and lit the torch. I'll never forget that, Ted Hendricks, 323 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: George Jakinson, all the legends, Jim plunk at, Tom Flora. 324 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 1: So the Raiders have so many Hall of Fame or 325 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: so many great players that for every home game they 326 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: pick someone to come and light that torch right before 327 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: the game begins. So as the game begins and you 328 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: hear the rock music and you hear a c d C. 329 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: And you hear you know the song the Autumn Wind 330 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: right as that end boom. They liked the torch of 331 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Al Davis's Eternal Flame, and that really gets the crowd going. 332 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: Excuse me, that really gets the crowd going. The crowd 333 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: really gets excited and electric because it's a connection from 334 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: Al Davis to the Raider fans today, and Raider fans 335 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: really appreciate that. So so the fans truly, uh, they 336 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: appreciate that, and they actually take part in that. It's 337 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: part of the ritual's part of the game. So it's 338 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: something that you actually see a reaction out of the 339 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: fans as well. Absolutely, it's a big part of the 340 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: tradition of the Raiders. It's a new tradition. It's something 341 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: that just happened a few years ago after Al Davis 342 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: passed away. But I thought it was a great tribute 343 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: and a great way for the Raiders to move forward 344 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: with the memory of Al Davis, who's still a huge 345 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: part of the Raider organization. I mean, the Raider organization 346 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: is based on the teachings of Al Davis and the 347 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: vision of Al Davis to build the franchise that would 348 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: be a great franchise for decades to come. And you 349 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: know that's part of what's going to happen in the 350 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: future when the team relocates and as the team remains 351 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: in Oakland, that the vision of Al Davis and the 352 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: memory of Al Davis is front and center. Fans don't 353 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: want to forget that. So you've talked about how you've 354 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: been covering the Raiders now for well over fifteen years. 355 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: You've been doing this with the radio. Take us through 356 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: to some of the greatest Jets in Raiders moments that 357 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: you can remember covering, maybe something that was special to 358 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: you or special to the fans. Well, it's a good question. 359 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: I mean, if you again, if we look back at 360 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: the history of this rivalry, it has to go back 361 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: to what it meant for both of these teams to 362 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: compete in the late sixties and into the seventies. I 363 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: still believe the greatest era of football in general is 364 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: the seventies where the Jets were thriving and the Waiters 365 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: were thriving. And I've talked to players Jack Tatum when 366 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: he was alive, George Jakinson, who is Phil Villipiano, Jim Otto, 367 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: Fred Blittnikoff, Cliff branch and they talk about those great 368 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: games and what those games meant between the Raiders and 369 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: the Jets. They were some of the more physical games 370 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: ever played. Trying to guard Don Hudson, trying to stop 371 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: Joe Namath, trying to get through the Jets offensive line, 372 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: running backs like Emison Boozer, and how balance the Jets 373 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: were on offense and defense. You know, I grew up 374 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: during the Richard Todd era and where the Raiders in 375 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: the eighties and the Jets in the eighties and then 376 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: into the nineties with Boomer ossiasin and you look at 377 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: the Jet teams that went to back to back a 378 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: f C Championship games with Mark Sanchez, and the Raiders 379 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: and the Jets have been competing as rivals. The one 380 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: big point I wanted to make today is that these 381 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: two teams arrivals. We typically think of rivals as teams 382 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: in the division. The Jets look at Buffalo, Miami and 383 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: obviously New England. Well, a lot of teams look at 384 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: the Raiders as their rival. If you ask the Denver 385 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: Broncos who's their biggest rival, it's the Raiders. If you 386 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: ask the Chargers who their biggest rival is it's the Raiders. 387 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: If you ask Kansas City, you get the same answer. 388 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: But the Raiders also have deep rivalries with the Jets 389 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers and now the Baltimore Ravens of 390 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: the a f C. So the Raider fans get this 391 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: all the time. There's always a rivalry game, there's always 392 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: a big game that matters, and it just seems to 393 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: me that over the last ten years, the Jets and 394 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: the Raiders have been playing often. We've seen the Jets 395 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: of the Raiders match up in Oakland, where you know, 396 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: the Jets have been out to Oakland, I know more 397 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: than the Raiders have been out to play in New 398 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: Jersey the last couple of years. But this means a lot. 399 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the all time series starts October nineteen sixty 400 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: and if you go back to these teams playing, they 401 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: played in two thousand, eleven, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. In 402 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: the last four games, these teams have split two two. 403 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 1: So Jack del Rio this week knows how important this 404 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: game is for the Raiders. The Raiders are a heavy 405 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: double digit favorite in this game in their home opener, 406 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: but I can promise you on the official Jets podcast, 407 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: no one in the Raider organization are going to take 408 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: the Jets lightly because they know how proud the organization is. 409 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: And and hey, guys, don't forget this could be the 410 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: last ever Jet game in Oakland because they're not on 411 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: the schedule there the next two years before Vegas. Think 412 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: of what the Jets should be motivated for. This coaching 413 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: staff and players might never ever play a game again 414 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: in the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum. That should be motivation 415 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: enough for the Jets to want to win this game. JT. 416 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: I got a little nugget for you that I don't 417 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: know if you know what. I came across this the 418 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: other day that since two thousand two, since the realignment, 419 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: the Jets have played the Raiders ten times, which is 420 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: the most for the Jets other than any divisional opponent. 421 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: So you talk about Jets and Raiders playing each other 422 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: a lot, they played the Jets' play the Raiders more 423 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: than anyone in the past fifteen years outside of the 424 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: a f C East. It just seems it seems like 425 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: that's how it gets set up. And again, if we 426 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: look at these games and I have the records in 427 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: front of me, I mean, this is a great all 428 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: time season. In the regular season, the Raiders leadev and two, 429 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: but in the postseason, the history of these two teams 430 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: are tied at too, so it goes back from nineteen 431 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: sixty and they'll play again on Sunday in what is 432 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders home opener after the last time Raider fans 433 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: saw this team, the Raiders dealt with heartache because Derek 434 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: Carr broke his ankle on Christmas Eve and the Raiders 435 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: still went to the playoffs without their quarterback. And it 436 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: was really a difficult season last year because the Raiders 437 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: had such high expectations but the season ended, which still 438 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs in front of them. And you want to 439 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 1: talk about a fan base that lost all their wind, 440 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: all their breath because the Raiders were expected to go 441 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: far last year. So now they're more focused than ever 442 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: to get back to where they were last year, but 443 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: this time to be healthy and try to win. Before 444 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: before we let you go here, you touched on it 445 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: is that this is the home opener for the Raiders. 446 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: Now that combined with the expectations for the team this year, 447 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: combined with the Oakland native Marshawn Lynch's first regular season 448 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: game as a member of the Silver and Black. If 449 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: if you could choose a couple of words or try 450 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: to explain what energy will be like from the fan 451 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: base on this Sunday, how would you describe it? Great question? 452 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: This would be the last place on God's Green Earth 453 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: where I would like to play an opponent's home opener. 454 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: If you could pick anywhere in the NFL with thirty 455 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: one teams where the Jets could be playing on the 456 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: road and be the road team and a home opener, 457 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be in Oakland on Sunday. Because 458 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned Marshawn Lynch, the fact that the Raiders won, 459 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: the fact that the Raiders, since they last played a 460 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: home regular season game, has formally announced their relocation to 461 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: Las Vegas in three years. If you combine all that 462 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: and put it into a big pot of chili, black hole, 463 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: stew team in the parking lot for four or five hours, 464 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: pour a lot of Cardona and surveiss into that too, 465 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you the Raider Nation is gonna be jacked up. 466 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: And you know, I know that you guys do a 467 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: great job with your social media and your webs side 468 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: in your podcast, but some of the sights and sounds 469 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: of this Sunday in Oakland will be memorable. And if 470 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: the Jets show up and play a great game and 471 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: this is a competitive game late, this will be a 472 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: memorable game just because what you said. Marshawn Lynch playing 473 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: in his first game as a real Raider, in a 474 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: real game in Oakland and his hometown, You're gonna see 475 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: as many Marshawn Lynch jerseys as you would see Tom 476 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: Brady jerseys in New England. This is a big moment 477 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: in the Raidar organization as they look to go to 478 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: and Oh before they play at Washington on Sunday Night 479 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: Football a week from Sunday. Do you uh, do you 480 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: have any advice for Olivia? Olivia is gonna be at 481 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the game. I'll be traveling out there to Oakland. I'm 482 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: holding it down in the in the Tri state area. 483 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: But what would your advice be to Olivia? When give 484 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: me some ads so I don't get eaten alive by 485 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: the black hole. But you know, I am actually really 486 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: excited to see this atmosphere. But yeah, what what would 487 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: your words of wisdom be to me? My advice would 488 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: be to find JT. The brick on the Raiders sidelines. 489 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: I will give you a tour of the field. I'll 490 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: point out and get you close to the black hole. 491 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about all the great moments in Raider 492 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: history where Ken Stabler dived into the end zone to 493 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: take the Raiders to the Super Bowl, where Tim Brown 494 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: and Cliff Branch and Jerry Rice made their big catches. 495 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about the history of that venue and 496 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: just take it all in because even though there won't 497 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: be thousands upon thousands of Jet fans there, they'll be 498 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: Jet fans. There are Jet fans that you know how 499 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: huge the New York fan bases are and how New 500 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: York fans travel. They will be Jet fans who are 501 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: there from Los Angeles, from San Diego, from northern California, 502 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: from the Pacific Northwest. Jet fans who know and they 503 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: get it that this could be the last Jet game ever. 504 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: In Oakland, You're gonna see some green and right there, 505 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,479 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be drowned out by more of the 506 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: voices of the Silver and Black. You're gonna love it. 507 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: This is a bucket list trip for you to say that, Hey, 508 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: I saw a Raider game in Oakland with the team 509 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: I cover and You'll be telling people about this for decades. 510 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: That's awesome that I will definitely find my way to 511 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: the brick come Sunday.

So before we get to 534 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: your excitement about the game, I want to know, is 535 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: there something that you have on your bucket list that's 536 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: maybe not Footfall related, that you're like, that's something I 537 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: want to do. I was just thinking about it because 538 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: he said it. I'm excited to see that kind of 539 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: a fan base, just like I was with Bill's Mafia. 540 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully I'll be able to see the black Hole a 541 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: little bit more in depth.

Yeah, 544 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: oh for sure, if I were you out, that'd be, 545 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: like he said, the first thing you gotta do, because 546 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: he seems to be the mayor in the coliseum over there, 547 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,479 Speaker 1: at least one of them, because I'm sure there are 548 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: many people that have worked there many years. So that's 549 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: all we got was a Wednesday huddle on not Wednesday, 550 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: and we're sorry about that.
