20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: it together. This has got to be the most irrelevant

21
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,120

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: who are listening. I think they all know. I think

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: they clearly they know. No, they don't know. Well, the

33
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: Ben and Moore Show was is Nashville's late night talk

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: show that we did every week for almost four years.

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: And um, then you want to talk about our current status. Sure? Well.

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: And and first, when we say late night talk show,

37
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: not on TV, not a podcast, this was a show,

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. And this was a

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: show that you would pay ten twelve dollars. We'd change

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: ticket prices. You would come out and you would you know,

41
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you'd get a beard, you get a drink, and you'd

42
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: see a show and we'd interview local celebrities and we

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, we had a house band and Marie and

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: I told jokes it was it was a lot of fun.

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: It was a nice, you know, community building thing. Um.

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: But we we did it, like you said, for you know,

47
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: we did eighty shows, I think, you know, interviewed over

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty guests. Mike you were a guest,

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt was a guest. The Tennessee Titans cheer Yours

50
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: Eddie George was a guest. Uh. We asked the team

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: if we could have a player. They said, no, it's fine,

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: but wow, yeah, and um, we we actually stopped doing

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: the show a little over a year ago now, and um,

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: we you know, it just kind of we we felt

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: like they did run its course. And we actually just

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: did a couple um reunion reunion shows and we're still

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: doing stuff together all the time, but uh, it's it's

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: dormant right now. Well, we will probably do two to

59
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: three shows a year. It seems like it will be

60
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: a fun way to do it. But uh, you know

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: it was it was a decision at least for me

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: to uh to not pursue entertainment full time. I think

63
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: that there was a path we had a great run

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: with the show, but I thought, I want more steady,

65
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: a more steady gig. Interesting. Yeah, and I don't want that, Yeah,

66
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: I want uh, I want just the waves, the waves

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: and just the big unknown. And you're more you're the

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: bigger Titans fan. That's right. Well, I'm the Nashville native

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: among the two of us. So that's and for you

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: is outside of Boston. Oh, I think they've got a

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: team in Boston. Yeah. Are you a fine fan of them?

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: The Boston team, the New England and the Boston Patriots. States. Um,

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: they used to be the Boston Patriots. I in truth,

74
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I probably was more when I was growing up. Okay,

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: but since I moved to Nashville, it's kind of out

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of sight. People like sports, people do like the sports.

77
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Like sports. But now you're an NBA guy, that's right.

00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: Wrestling isn't like it's not like professional wrestling. If nothing else.

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: You got kind of like smushed a lot. Like it's

91
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: not like you got hitting. That's how the wrestling match ends,

92
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: is you need to get smushed. You do get hit

93
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,359

96
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: hate wrestling. I don't know why I did it. I

97
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: did it because I couldn't. I wasn't sure if I

98
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: was going to get into the school, so I thought, well,

99
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: how can we pad the extracurriculars. I'll reach out to

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the wrestling coach and and I'll say, hey, you know,

101
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: look at me. I wrestle. And wait a minute, you

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: went ahead, Becky on this. That's what I was gonna say.

103
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: Like you were on the it's like you wanted to

104
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: row crew would have gone on Becky see Northern. Um.

105
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have paid, but I couldn't.

106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: So I had to be like, hey, i'll you know,

107
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I'll suffer for it's not Ashington. And I didn't lie.

108
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: I didn't lie. He did wrestle. I wrestled, and I said,

109
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: I'll wrestle, and I did it for a year, but

110
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: I would get pinned and it hurt, and I would

111
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: I said, you know, and I'm not going to do that.

112
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I did it for like a week my sophomore year,

113
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, we don't need to keep pretending here,

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: all right. I didn't come here to do this. That's enough.

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: But you were a Titans fan from the start, that's right.

116
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: I mean I was, you know, nine and ten the

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl year. Wow. So but but I have distinct

118
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: memories and uh in college, certainly kept up with the team,

119
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: but but really, uh rup my my fanaticism moving back

120
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: here in twenty and twelve, and you know those twenty twelve,

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: third and Forting those are kind of the rough years.

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: And so seeing them following them and going to the

123
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: games during those years and now seeing where they are now,

124
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty awesome. As you followed the process through

125
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and going to the AFC Championship game, the

126
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: excitement of the fans. How similar do you think it

127
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: was to the early days that you remember as a

128
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: kid in terms of people just sort of latching on. Yeah,

129
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think it was. I think it was

130
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: very similar. Again, you know, being a kid. It's a

131
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: little hard to say, but you know you started to

132
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: see a lot of jerseys walking around the streets. You know,

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: go to a coffee shop, you know, guys are wearing

134
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: jerseys in there, and they'll talk to each other, you know,

135
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: strangers saying, Oh, I can't wait for the game this weekend.

136
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: That's that's fun stuff. And you know, it's the kind

137
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: of thing we saw three years ago with you know,

138
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: the team just half mile away, with the Nashville Predators

139
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: when they went to the Stanley Cup and all of

140
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, everybody you know, was buying year and going

141
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: to games and looking up the rules to have to

142
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: play hockey. But but now we're yeah, yeah, iicings tricky,

143
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: but but it seems like there's a little bit of

144
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: that going on here with the Titans. I actually went

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: to the Titans shop in the stadium. I work down there,

146
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: and I was going on this trip with friends and

147
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to get all of them Titan socks. It

148
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: was like the day before the Kansas City game, so

149
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: I want to go to these Titan socks. And and

150
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: it was thirty minutes till the shop closed, and it

151
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: was full of people. I mean probably maybe maybe fifty

152
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: people in there in small shop, you know, get in gear.

153
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: So that's pretty awesome to see. It's pretty cool. Yeah,

154
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you got here in thirteen, right, I got

155
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: here in thirteen and so times were a little tough.

156
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: These were not the prime seasons my first couple of

157
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: years here. Seeing the way that this town has shifted

158
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: in the last two three years has been remarkable to watch.

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: To see people really finding players that they attached themselves to,

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: really seeing everybody loves John Robinson and Mike Vrabel, and

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: really seeing the city rally about around them, seeing them

162
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: rally around Amy Adams Strunk, our owner, seeing all the

163
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: national NFL things come to this city. It's been so

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: cool to see in I just wrapped up season seven here,

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: so I'm relatively new to the whole Titans family, and

166
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: still not that new well new enough. Yeah, I mean

167
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: within twenty years. I've been here for about a third

168
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: of them. That was quick math, nicely, very very good math. Yeah,

169
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: I see why I hired you. Yeah, clip that. Send

170
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: it to my mom. She could claim she's a cross

171
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: country room. Yeah, she's going to wrestle. I promised they can.

172
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: I ask a general question. Sure, are you guys employees?

173
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: You're you are employees of the Titans. We are, So

174
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: that's a very general question. Well that wasn't the question.

175
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: So the question. The follow up question was how, um, like,

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: do you do you need to ever censor yourselves in

177
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: terms of like giving your opinion on how you think

178
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: the team is doing. Like we're saying the team is

179
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: always doing great. Well, you know, we're like, or do

180
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: you have to say do you kind of have to

181
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: gloss over it? Like, oh, you know the twenty twelve,

182
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. I mean, that's the great thing about the pros.

183
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: When you're working for a professional sports team, I think

184
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: you can pretty much. I mean, i mean when you're

185
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: two and fourteen, you're two and fourteen. Yeah, there's no

186
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: skating around. Yeah. The thing that we struggle with a

187
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: little bit is that p people will assume because we're

188
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: privy to certain things, like Mike says, we're privy to practice.

189
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: We're privy too things that are happening in the building

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: and some things that aren't necessarily public knowledge, just in

191
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: regards to things that are happening internally. So sometimes we'll

192
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: give the guys it's really not as bad as it

193
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: looks like it is, and people will say, well, you're

194
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: a homer. Well you're paid by the organization. People think

195
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: we're lying a lot more than we really are, but

196
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: we're really it's just because we are privy to things

197
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: that other people don't have access to, and sometimes when

198
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: we explain them, it's like, well, you're all butterflies and rainbows,

199
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: and that's not necessarily the case. It's just the building

200
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: is not on fire in ways that sometimes people personally

201
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: on the outside that it is. Because I think that

202
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: when things are bad, there's a generalization about what's bad.

203
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: It's like, no, yes, this may be bad, but everything

204
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: is not bad. And in that case, you know, when

205
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: we were two and four, unfortunately our quarterback wasn't playing well. Yeah,

206
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: anything else was. I mean, the defense was playing pretty well,

207
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: and there were other things that were going on. So,

208
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean it can be hard in that way. I

209
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: think when you do college you have to sugarcoat. You

210
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: work for the school, well, you work for the school petition.

211
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: But also the athletes aren't paid. That's a good point.

212
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, well not at every school, but at some

213
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: of them said in order to get in, I'm willing

214
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: to wrestle whatever. So you know, and it's hard. Somebody's

215
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: twenty years old. They're out there giving it the best

216
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: they got and they don't catch the pass. It's an

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: incomplete pass. If the three million dollar wide receiver drops

218
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: a pass, the three he dropped a pass, right, I

219
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: think that's the difference. Does that answer your question? Does? And? Yeah?

220
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I saw like a Titans mail

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: bag with jam and and he's pretty direct. He was.

222
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: It was surprising how direct he was. And it was

223
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: in reference to the QB change. And he basically said like, hey,

224
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: Mario is not playing, And I was like, oh, is

225
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: he gonna lose his job? Yeah? I was worried about him.

226
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: You aquently answered that question, Thank you. You have another

227
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: I do. What do you think of Mike? What is

228
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: your You know? You said, he whoa whoa, whoa? Am

229
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: I allowed to answer this? Mike is technically my boss

230
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: on the sheet, But you know, Mike's fine, go on

231
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: keep It seems like Mike takes a lot of grief

232
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: on this. He is actually one of the most patient

233
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: human beings. Because Mike and I host a television show together,

234
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: a radio show, this podcast that I strong armed him into,

235
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: and then our offices are right next to each other. Oh,

236
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: and we travel together and I do sidelines on his

237
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: radio broadcast. No, it's it's ours, it is it is not,

238
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: it is not so so you've got to like him

239
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: otherwise you guys split up years ago. We do work

240
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: incredibly well together, I think, And um, Mike puts up

241
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: with a lot of my gooferry because he's within yelling

242
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: distance of me. There's also that, so anytime I have

243
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: amusing or an idea or a general thought, it gets

244
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: shouted across the hallway right into Mike Keith's ears, which

245
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: I think might not be his favorite thing. So he

246
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: is a very patient man. He's very good at his job,

247
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that he puts up with me. Can

248
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: I tell you what I think? Yes? Please? Oh, this

249
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: is an open forum. Yeah, I think Mike Keith is

250
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: pretty you know, if I if I am a Titans fanner,

251
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm becoming one, it's because of Mike Keith.

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a great play by play announcer. Thank you.

253
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: And I think Marie and I we genuinely but we

254
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: talk about you a lot, how you were so much

255
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: fun to listen to. But I also think, hey, maybe

256
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: kind of a little strange, you know, maybe he's unwell.

257
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I'm talking about. We were

258
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: listening Marie and I coming back from an alumni weekend,

259
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: driving back from Virginia a couple of years ago. We're

260
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: listening to the game him call the Patriots game last

261
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: year when we beat him. Yes, they took Tom Brady

262
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: out with seven minutes to go. I was I go.

263
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: And at one point, uh, the Titans are driving and

264
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: Mariota like does a bootleg or something, and Mike sees

265
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: an opening and he says, you know, Mario, you got it,

266
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: you got it, and Mariota takes it. He you know,

267
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: he scores, and Mike goes touchdown Titans and then he

268
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: just goes the Maestro sees what I saw, Green Green

269
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: grass and I and I thought it was so great.

270
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: But I thought, he's, you know, we're gonna he's We're

271
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to put him down. He's he's so bizarre.

272
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: It was such a range of emotion jump. So when

273
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: you but when you do your show, if you ever

274
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: watch it back, do you hear yourself say so sure? Sure,

275
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: and thinks, man, I wished I hadn't done that. For sure,

276
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: sure you do it. I say you shouldn't have done that.

277
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, oh, but I'm saying I do. I

278
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: hear certain things and I go, this is horrendous. Why

279
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: did I Why did I do the one that I recall?

280
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: And I think I brought this up to you last

281
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: time we spoke to is uh, you said, Derrick Henry

282
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: and Jostin Fowler in the backfield, that's almost five hundred

283
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds of man, which you know, for the listeners,

284
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: that just helps them see it, you know, I mean,

285
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: it really does them with justice to know. Okay, it's

286
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: almost like I'm there now, I'm seeing five kind of thee. Yeah,

287
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: there should be pounded used more often. You know, two

288
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: receivers out left three hundred and sixty pounds once you

289
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: guys know where that where the scales are on this

290
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: field where all the weight is allowed. Where is the

291
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: where the weight is allocated? So I guess the question was,

292
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: is that eccentricity carry over to the you know, to

293
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: the office. I mean, Mike doesn't just call out people's

294
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: weights arbitrarily. If that's what you're asking, I almost wish

295
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, that would be great. Yeah, hr nightmare.

296
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: But no, he's not. He's a little bit more reserved

297
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: equal amounts of emotion and excitement. He just rains it

298
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: in a little bit more like Monday through Saturday Sundays

299
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: where he gets to let loose. All right, So I

300
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: gotta ask you a question though. Twenty seventeen, you guys

301
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: come here to Saint Thomas Sports Park to do one

302
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: of your wacky comedy bits with our players. Was it

303
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: the most responded to of your videos that you've ever had?

304
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I think it was you were referring to the the

305
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: remote we did, which is like a you know, remote

306
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: star thing that late night talk shows do. Conan dozen

307
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: and and we went to a came to training camp.

308
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Training camp twenty seventeen, you asked Dennis Kelly if you'd

309
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: ever killed a man? Yeah, okay, well, which is a

310
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: valid question. I was glad. Someone asked, well, he's sweetheart,

311
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: he is like guy. Now he looks like how did

312
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: you get in here? That is a good question. Well,

313
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: I just thank you. Yeah, it took us a while,

314
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: but Jim helped with that because Jim came on our

315
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: show early on, probably a year probably two years before

316
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: you did, and so he may be lobbied for us.

317
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: But so somehow we got in. But when we got here,

318
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: no one knew why we were here. So so it

319
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't it wasn't the warmest welcome. You know, we got in,

320
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: but we weren't you know. Yeah, well, and nobody explained

321
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: what you were doing. But it didn't. It end up

322
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: being funnier because they didn't really. Yes, it ended up

323
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: being a great video and to answer question, it was

324
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: our most our most popular, I think. But you know

325
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: when when David Letterman goes to Taco Bell and asked

326
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: and asked people silly questions, they know that's David Letterman.

327
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: He's got a crew with him. He's going to be funny.

328
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: When we show up, they say, who the heck are

329
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: those guys? Why are they filming. Why do they want

330
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: to talk to me? Uh So that's an added challenge.

331
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: For instance, when we got there, I was really nervous

332
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: about the thing. I thought, you know, these guys, I'm

333
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: a big fan. I don't want to go up to,

334
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, somebody. I really were like Mark Mariode and say, oh,

335
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, do you like peanut butter and jolly saying,

336
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: which is just asking some stupid question I felt directed

337
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: at me. Yeah. Uh. And so we get there and

338
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: we're kind of filming some of the practice first B

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: role that we spliced from there, you know, and somebody

340
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: comes over and says, hey, you guys need to leave.

341
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: You're making John Robinson nervous, and I was like, oh

342
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: my god, this nightmare. We just we just got kicked out.

343
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: They think we're scouting for another team, you know. So

344
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: we leave, walk out of the bubble and kind of regroup. Well,

345
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: we literally got put our camera guy Eric was, you know,

346
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: taking like little field level artistic shots. We got in

347
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: time out by John Robinson. We got kicked out of

348
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 1: the bubble and then we literally for the next few

349
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: minutes we're just filming the birds outside the bubble because

350
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of birds, like you know, it's

351
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: like some Alfred Hitchcock film. And and that's all we

352
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: did for for forty minutes. Um, and then I guess

353
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: practice is over. We went back in. Jim took us

354
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: to the locker room and things went We're up from there. Um.

355
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: But the team made a mistake and security was a laxato.

356
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: It was very funny. You can find it on YouTube, right,

357
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: I need to Ben and Morrey show M O R

358
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: E Y And uh, we got a website, yeah, dot

359
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: com check it out. But the funny thing you brought

360
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: up to, Denis Kelly thing. The funny thing was about

361
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: this video that we did was we thought this is great,

362
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: Like we got our you know, we got in We're

363
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna go film this funny three to four minute man

364
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: on the Street, man on the practice field video, and

365
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: we're finally going to get the notoriety that we that

366
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: we are so entitled to. And uh and you know,

367
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: we're going up to guys like you know, and and

368
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: but part of that plan was, hey, the Titans are

369
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: going to share it, you know, like, well we'll work

370
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: with them, they'll retweet it or whatever. And uh and

371
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: and it didn't end up happening, and we were like,

372
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: I wonder, why, what did we do wrong? And then

373
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: you look back on it now and it's like we're

374
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: going up to Dennis Kelly being like, hey, did you

375
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: never kill anyone? Or what's every single question is inappropriate? Yeah,

376
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: and and so the funny thing about that is when

377
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: we when we later got the opportunity to do a

378
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: similar video with the Predators, we were like, we got it.

379
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: This time, we're going to we're gonna we're gonna be

380
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: on our best behavior, and we're going to submit the

381
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: questions to the Predators like pr team beforehand, you know,

382
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: because then they'll be inclined to share it. And I

383
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: remember them getting the questions and they're just they just

384
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: nixed so many of them. They're like, oh, you cannot

385
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: ask this Like this is we're allowed to ask them

386
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: where they're from? That's it. Yeah, And we were just asking.

387
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, who were the players who really got it

388
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: when you came here? Who are the Titans players who

389
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: really got to think? Some of them are who you'd expect.

390
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Taylor Lawan was one of the first guys.

391
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: He nearly gave you his address, nearly, Yeah, uh. And

392
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: and he kind of, you know, loosened us up because

393
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: he's game to talk about anything to anybody, it seems,

394
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: so he kind of listened to us up. But did

395
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: he get that it was a bit or was he

396
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: just being Taylor? Uh, We're not sure. Okay, that's good. Yeah,

397
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: I'll ever know. Uh and then um, you know, Jim

398
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: again was kind of pointing us to the talkative guys

399
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: in the in the locker room. Harry Douglas was another.

400
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: He was really funny, Yeah he was. And uh there

401
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: was another guy who was on special team, Eric Wims,

402
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: Eric Quiams. Ye, yes, he was great. So those of

403
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: some of the goings. Ben Jones was funny. I don't know, Ben,

404
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: am I forgetting some I mean Marcus Mariota just had

405
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: spent over laughing. Actually funny. To Marcus. I went up

406
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: to him real, uh, Maury read me the Riot Act.

407
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: He was like, please these people in my heroes and

408
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: I was like whatever, and I went up towards yandas

409
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: like what we have to lose? So I go up

410
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: to Marcus and I was like hey, you know, and

411
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: I gave like the quick introduction and I was like, hey,

412
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: you know we're shooting, we're doing a thing, and we're

413
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: shooting a comedy video, and like the second the word

414
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: comedy left my mouth, he was like, no, thank you.

415
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: And and I actually really respect that because he was

416
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: just like, I'm not getting myself, you know, no way,

417
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm not getting caught up in this crap. Yeah, and

418
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: so I kind of respect that. He was straight up,

419
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: straight up and of course just said get away from me.

420
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: And you know, as many words, I would say, Harry

421
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Douglas was really pretty entertaining that day. That's the only

422
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: time I've hung out with Titans players shooting there. I

423
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: would put Harry Douglas on that list right now. My

424
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: funniest Titan is Darren Bates. I think that Darren Bates

425
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: is just the most hilarious human being. I did an

426
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: interview with him earlier this year, and you know, we're

427
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: talking about different things and he's answering these questions real

428
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: well and he's doing a good job as loose and

429
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: I said something like, so, uh, country music, are you

430
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: into country music? Is that a thing? And he goes, well,

431
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I listen to everything because he's

432
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the guy who man's the he's the DJ of the

433
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: locker Room. He man's the music controls issue. Yeah, it

434
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: has gotten a little contentious at times, mainly between him

435
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and people who are trying to do their jobs but

436
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: can't think because it's a nightclub. I said, country music

437
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: good bad. He says, oh, country music's okay. He goes,

438
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: but what people don't know is I'm a huge Taylor

439
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,239
Speaker 1: Swift fan. And he said it with this face like

440
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: he knew that it was going to hit me, but

441
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: like couldn't break character. And I was like, I'm sorry,

442
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: you're what And he goes, I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan.

443
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: And I threw down my notes and I said, well,

444
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: this is the interview now, Like we have to explore

445
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: this deeply. And he's got this whole thing about he's

446
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: making t shirts, he's sitting in the front row at

447
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: or concerts. He like follows her pretty like he knows

448
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: what Taylor Swift is doing just in her life via

449
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: social media and all that. It was just beyond because

450
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: he's the same guy that like tries to fight people

451
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: pretty regularly and like is a pretty intense, crazy Special

452
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Teams player who's known for just being so hardcore. Oh

453
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: but he listens to Taylor Swift on his drive home,

454
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: like sure, why why not? Yeah? So was this for real?

455
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: This was for real? For real? He was dead serious.

456
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 1: He showed me pictures on his cell phone of him

457
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: at concerts wearing his like little Taylor Swift t shirts

458
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: that he has specially made. Like, wow, he's a swifty.

459
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: He's a swifty? Is a Dorey Jackson in the conversation.

460
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: He seems like a funny guy. Guy. He is a

461
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: funny guy. He's funny. Who else is? I mean, Rabel

462
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: seems a little bit rabow. Is really funny, yeah, but

463
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: perhaps a little intimidating. It's scary. That's part of the charm, totally.

464
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: The trouble with Rabel being funny is you're never a

465
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure if you should laugh or if you

466
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: should give it back. Oh yeah, because he's so big,

467
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: you're just afraid he's just gonna grab you and you know,

468
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: sort of snatch you at some point. But he's very right, yes,

469
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: culture culture, but he's not. I mean, Rabel's really a

470
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: good guy. He doesn't really want you to know that.

471
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: I don't think. No, he doesn't break character very right,

472
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: that's better put and so his face never changes. He'll

473
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: say things that are hilarious, and you have this moment

474
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: where you're like, this man is not laughing or smiling.

475
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: That was really funny. Do I respond? And he says

476
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: things to guys at practice that are really funny. Yeah,

477
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: really funny. I mean really And what he was saying,

478
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: what he was saying to Tom Brady out here when

479
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: the Titans were practicing against the Patriots, hilarious, the two

480
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: of them talking to one another. Teammates. Oh, and I

481
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: mean you couldn't repeat it. I don't think right, no, no, no,

482
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: But it was fantastic And and that was that was classic, Ybel.

483
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: John Robinson is very funny. John Robinson is funny with

484
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: you specifically. I mean he's a funny man all the

485
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: way around, but he you and John Robinson have a

486
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: special bond that I find so funny. Why do you

487
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: say that, Well, because he does a segment on our

488
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: TV show once a week. He does what does he

489
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: call the ot the beat? Beat? He calls it the beat.

490
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 1: First he asked what's going on on the beat. He

491
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: likes to dog the podcast by referring to it as

492
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: the Beat. Yeah, so he makes fun of it. He's

493
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: always got something to keep you on your toes. And

494
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate it because it's consistently something different. You appreciate

495
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: it because it's not you also true, Yeah, but I

496
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: like the variety at which he comes after you. I

497
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: think it's very I could see, uh, Mike Rabel if

498
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: he sticks around here listening up more and more. He

499
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: has he has, but he's does a lot of pressure

500
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: on a new coach. He probably feels like the whole

501
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: world's on top of it. Well, see Ben is sitting

502
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: in the Mike Varbel chair right now. That powerful. That

503
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: is where Mike, I'm feeling like, I'm so happy. Parts

504
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: of my body are are still there. Now, that's it

505
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: that they haven't been do you guys know? I'm sorry

506
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: that was it? Okay, I shouldn't have referred to that.

507
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: I have a question for you. Okay, go ahead. You

508
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: came on our show and you talked about the how

509
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: the NFL you know, the parody was I believe the

510
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: word you use, I did, and what the season ending

511
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: the way it did? You have to feel like momentum

512
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: is on yourself. I mean, there's a the standard has

513
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: been raised and there's a feeling next year that the

514
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: team should do well. But what if I mean, and

515
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: and maybe they continue to run, but what if it

516
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: just goes back to the way things were, Because the

517
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: NFL is a competitive place. If we're eight and eight

518
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: next year, the end of the season was great, people

519
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: feel optimistic. And then when I was thinking that, I

520
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: just thought about when Mike Keith talked about how you

521
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: know there's so much parody in the NFL where you

522
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: promised nothing. I mean, it's not like you go win

523
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 1: your bowl game and so next year you're going to

524
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: go to a better bowl because you return everybody. The

525
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 1: bottom line with this is you've got to take what

526
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: you did and build on it from the standpoint that

527
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: you see yourself as one of those teams that goes

528
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: into the next echelon. And I think that's what we

529
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: finally showed, is to go into New England and win,

530
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: and to go into Baltimore and win, we can beat people.

531
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: We're not just beating all five and eleven, six and

532
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: ten teams to barely sneak into the playoffs. Nothing's promised,

533
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: and that's the hard part of all of this is

534
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo will be back and Jacksonville will be back in Houston,

535
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: will be back in Indianapolis, will be back. Everybody keeps shooting.

536
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: We all have the same amount of money, We're all

537
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: drawing from the same player pool. We're all striving to catch,

538
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, in our conference the Chiefs. You know, That's

539
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. I mean, it's it's the

540
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: hardest thing in the world, the NFL. Winning in the NFL,

541
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: to me is the hardest thing in sports because in

542
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: baseball you have halves and half knots. In the NBA

543
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: you have hals and have knots. It seems like in

544
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: every sport, in this game, there is not a have

545
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: or have not. You can have a team that's having

546
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: a bad year, but you rarely have what is a

547
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: horrible team, right, I mean we've seen a couple over

548
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: the years. Well, but any given Sunday, anybody can eat anybody.

549
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: And I mean it's one hundred percent true. I mean

550
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: it's what It's what people thought of us going into Baltimore,

551
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: no chance, right, Well, it's crazy, right, we walked into

552
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: that stadium that night thinking, if we do our thing,

553
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: we beat these guys. Yep, where do you put that night?

554
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: That victory? You know, among your Titans memories? Is that

555
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: top three in moments in the Baltimore victory? Yeah, oh

556
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: for me, it's I'm top two. If not she used

557
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: to work then, Yeah, really I saw that I started.

558
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: I started my little, my little NFL career with the Ravens,

559
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: So going in there, beating them, being the winning team,

560
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: walking out of that stadium, like, and it's for the

561
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: playoffs and no one thought we could do it. Like

562
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: everything about that moment was unbelievable. Yeah. We had a

563
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: good buddy of ours is a big Ravens fan, and

564
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: he went to the game and spent all this money

565
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: for it. I mean the ticket prices were insane. Wow.

566
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: And I and he's just such a friendly guy, but

567
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: I had to after the game, I had to text

568
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: him something, you know, but he beat me to the

569
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: punch and said the Titans were so good tonight, well

570
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: deserved win, so that I couldn't talk any smack back,

571
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: lovely gesture. Yeah. The thing that I liked so much

572
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: about this postseason run as a not as big a

573
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: fan as Morey, but like a whatever, it was just

574
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: like how the it was palpable. I mean you could

575
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: feel that that they were on the run. And you

576
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: know the thing about you're asking me as a you know,

577
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: if I'm a Patriots fan, I remember the two thousand

578
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: one season when there were just so many parallels with

579
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: the two thousand and one season with the Pats. Brady

580
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: goes in replaces Bledsoe, and I remember watching that Tuck

581
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: game against the Raiders and just being like wow, like

582
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: they're they're maybe gonna go do it, and then they

583
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: go on go beat the greatest show on turf, the

584
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: uh you know, the Rams and there that's the feeling

585
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: I got when you were watching that Baltimore game, when

586
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: you were watching the New England. That just that momentum,

587
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: that feeling, and you could tell the whole city was

588
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: behind it. That was awesome. You know. You were talking

589
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: about the fans excitements this year verse maybe the ninety

590
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: nine season, and I think we won't won't truly know

591
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: the measure of how great this season was until the

592
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: first the home opener next year. Yeah, and seeing how

593
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: how many people are there. I mean, the momentum that

594
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: has been generated throughout the entire season, I mean, starting

595
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: with the draft in Nashville and all the excitement that

596
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: that was and showing that this is a football city

597
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: and that we know how to host a party. Yeah,

598
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: and then having a season that was kind of rocky,

599
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: but then gave us all the credibility and legitimacy that

600
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: we can do this and this is a real, like

601
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: viable product that we are giving to you. And then

602
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: so springboarding off of that. I am very hopeful that

603
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: people will, I am too, jump on the bandwagon because

604
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: they're there. I mean, they were there in nineteen ninety

605
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: nine where we voted like best best fans of the NFL.

606
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: So those people exist. You know, NFL's very popular in America.

607
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: They're going to come out of the woodworks that you know,

608
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: we don't have to feel like with the Predators. You know,

609
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: when they went to the Stanley Cup, a lot of

610
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: those fans were these people who have moved to Nashville

611
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: in the past five or ten years, which is great,

612
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: they by all means should root for this team. But

613
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: the Titans fans, you know, they've got some old people

614
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: who've been there for here for four or five decades

615
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: that are on their side. Do you have another question?

616
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: I like that you came prepared is really nice. When

631
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: Chris Kirkpatrick so appreciated that I didn't appreciate it. He

632
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: was so glad to just talk to another dude. Yeah,

633
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,960

Speaker 1: She is still she is still very bitter about this.

639
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: We should like such a waste of an opportunity. He

640
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: was sitting there talking about football. He's having a great time.

641
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: He's like, this is normal, this is wonderful, instead of

642
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: someone crying. But I will go ahead, I'm not gonna

643
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: like touch him or do itthing weird. Well, even you

644
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: just kind of mentioning that you're mentioning it's in your mind. Yeah,

645
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: that's a problem I have. I wouldn't have touched him.

646
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a weird thing to say. Kind of yea, yeah,

647
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: end up touching them. I'm nature, So I don't think

648
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: that was the first thing. When our guests came into

649
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: the green room, we immediately informed them we're not going

650
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: to touch you. First thing. Remember Mike, it's so great

651
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: to have you here. First thing, have something to drake,

652
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: and we're not We're not going to We always start

653
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: with a bow, you know, formal. I like it. What

654
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: was your question? Well it was it was a football question,

655
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I have non football or

656
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: football non football questions as well. Whatever you want to

657
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: talk about brewing section at the end, Yeah, I guess

658
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: I have what's brewing questions which I can get what's brewing? Shot? Well?

659
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: Can I all right? Can I ask? The other just

660
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: football question was about Arthur Smith? Yes, um, is his?

661
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is like a taboo subject,

662
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: but like is is his job safe? Is he going

663
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: to be the OC next year? Like? Are you kidding?

664
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is he's not gonna run away? Is he? Oh?

665
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. We scored over four hundred points. Do

666
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: you mean is he gonna get scooped up? Correct? Oh? Yeah,

667
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: I think so. No, I think much different questions I

668
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: was confused to. Yeah. No, I think most of those

669
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: jobs have been filled, Like potential places that he could go.

670
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is a committed to the Tennessee Titans as

671
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: they come. I mean he's been with this team through

672
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: a variety of different head coaches. Four Yeah, So I

673
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: think that there was some question. I mean there's always

674
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: concern when a team is successful and they're afraid they're

675
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: going to lose their guy. But a lot of those

676
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: spots have been filled. And so just from a logistics standpoint,

677
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: I don't know where else he would go. And I

678
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: think that the Titans want to keep him fold and

679
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: I think he likes living in Nashville, and certainly he

680
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: has family and his wife's family, and he has family

681
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: in Memphis, and yeah, I mean, I think this is

682
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: a great location for him. I think that the fear

683
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: about Arthur is at some point fear from the Titan standpoint,

684
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: like Matt Lafleur. Somebody's gonna want him to be their

685
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: head coach, right, because Arthur is a really super coach.

686
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: And you know, here's a great story about Arthur is

687
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: we knew for years that he was Fred Smith's son, right,

688
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: and nobody else did Nobody else knew Nobody the media

689
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: because Arthur was so low key about everything. They had

690
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: just never sort of delved into Arthur. So Fred Smith,

691
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: the founder a se EEO of fed X, is his dad,

692
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: And so we wondered, you know, does Arthur want to

693
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: be a coordinator, does he want to be a head coach?

694
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Does he want to deal with all of that? Because

695
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: he was so low key and so self effacing, he

696
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: had never said anything about anything. He's like the nicest

697
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: guy you will ever want to meet. And he doesn't

698
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: have to be doing this. No, no, no, especially you

699
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: know early on in the season when we were to

700
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: and four and he's probably getting a lot of grief

701
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: or perfect getting a lot of grief from people online

702
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: at least, and you're kind of like, man, you don't

703
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: have to put up with this, right, you should quit.

704
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: But he wanted it, so props to him. He's a

705
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: hard work he does. It does seem like, Sorry, if

706
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: if we are good next year, he will be on

707
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: a hot list maybe too. Well if we go win

708
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, then you know, we'll we'll live with that.

709
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: We'll live with that. Yeah, best of luck too, sir.

710
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: That's executive first, heyby Wells, are you ready to lead

00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: let off a lot of are you through with questions?

714
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Or is there anything else you'd like to He's he's

715
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: going to move on to just statements. Now, statements. Now

716
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: make a statement, Ben, make a statement. I don't like wrestling.

717
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. Now, Okay, yeah, I

718
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: would neither if I were you say I gonna leave

719
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: you wrestled at one fifty seven or whatever. Yeah, Well,

720
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: the other guy was one fifty seven too. Yeah, but

721
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: I would have thought he would have wrestled at a

722
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: much smaller weight. And now it's funny people were saying

723
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: earlier that more you were saying, you and I here,

724
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: you and I remind each other of I was saying,

725
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: you look alike. How much do you weigh? How much

726
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: do I more than one fifty seven? Give us a weight? Uh?

727
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: One seventy one seventy okay, but would you be wanting

728
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: to cut weight to wrestle? And he's okay anyway, That's

729
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: not what I wanted to talk about. But you don't

730
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: want to stay on that topic. What's brewing is the

731
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: we can just talk about whatever. But whatever you want

732
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: to talk about, all right, I got something I want

733
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: to talk about. Great. Uh, the players when they when

734
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: they're walking onto the plane. You see on the Titans

735
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: social media, the outfits that they're wearing. My question is

736
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: do they and you know you see like you know,

737
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: like Derrick Henry and like the white mink coach, you know,

738
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: some guy and like a prince you know, like purple

739
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: rain suits. So my question is do they own those

740
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: outfits or is this like a rent to suit situation?

741
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of guys own these outfits. It

742
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: is my understanding anyway. Now I haven't asked each guy individually,

743
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys will go into it with

744
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: a custom wardrobe kind of in mind. So they'll have

745
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: people who are creating these ensembles for them. Roger Saffold

746
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: was he had a whole suit designed that was like

747
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: sequined and it was blue, and so he did one

748
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: suit and that was crazy. But yeah, guys will have

749
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: specific people that they work for make these custom suits

750
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: for them. What's that person called a fashion I do

751
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: have a fashion stylist, style stylist. What's the person called

752
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: when you get your hair cut? Is that styles? That's

753
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: a hair stylist at the barber if you're a dude. Okay,

754
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: So they actually they own those, I mean, because seriously,

755
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: you see that and you're like, well, you can't wear

756
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: this in any other The Derrick Henry thing was that

757
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 1: at New England or Baltimore? That was Baltimore. Ope, that

758
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 1: was Baltimore. Okay, So the comment was made, first of all,

759
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: that was unbelievable how he looked in that in that

760
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: sort of look. I mean, but somebody on the plane

761
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: made the comment they said, you know, that's a great thing.

762
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: But I would have gotten something on that within thirty seconds,

763
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: and I thought that would be me too. He's a

764
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: clean guy. I mean, he's an incredibly clean guy to

765
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 1: be able to wear something like that. I asked him

766
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: about it at the Pro Bowl. Which of his that

767
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: when he said he was jolly? That was when he

768
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: said he was He referred to himself as jolly, a

769
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: jolly fellow, which that was a strange. Yeah, sure, sure

770
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: you are, buddy. You're a lot figger than me, so

771
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want to be. But I

772
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: asked him of his three playoff outfits, because he had

773
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: the purple one going into New England City. No, the

774
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: blue mink coat was going into Kansas City, and the

775
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: white one was going to Baltimore. I still say, guys

776
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: don't have outfits. They have outfits. We've all called them out.

777
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: These were for sure out You have an outfit more

778
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: I do not. I do not have an out You

779
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: guys should see me, listeners, beware. Yeah, we'll take a

780
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: look sharp. Yeah you look good. Yeah. No, we are

781
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: wearing clothes. Yeah, these are clothes, shirt and pants. They

782
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 1: wear clothes. They don't wear out. They on the outfits

783
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: that's you know, you just you see it week after

784
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: week and you're like, there's no way that they're taking

785
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: this home. Well, but I mean think about it like

786
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: dresses for the females at the award shows, Like who

787
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: in the world is that gonna fit? Like Roger Staff

788
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: puts on a outfit Roger right, But what I'm saying

789
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: is like, he's not gonna take it back and then

790
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna sluff it on some other what offensive lineman

791
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: like stand down the road's gonna come and pick it up,

792
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: and he's gonna buy it and wear it like they

793
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: these guys have very specific measurements, like they're not built

794
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: like regular dudes. Yeah, specific, So I think you've got

795
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: to at least like get it tailored and then just

796
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: keep it. At that point, what's brewing with you? So

797
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: I was perusing the internet today and I saw a

798
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: piece that the NFL had put together, like NFL Network

799
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: called NFL twenty twenty and they released it in twenty thirteen,

800
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: and it was hosted by Russell Wilson and they were

801
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: talking about what the NFL will look like in the

802
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty, and it was like very futuristic. Yeah, well,

803
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: and it was produced in twenty thirteen, so this is

804
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: seven years ago, and it's still super futuristic. And everybody's

805
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: wearing helmets that kind of look like they're in the

806
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: X Games somehow, and they're talking about all these different components.

807
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: I took notes on some of the things that they

808
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 1: were talking about, like we'll have an eighteen game schedule,

809
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: and there will be no kickoffs, and everybody will have

810
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 1: the green dot on their helmet, they'll be able to

811
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: hear the booth and interact, and we'll have four teams

812
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: in Europe. All of these things, And so it got

813
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: me thinking, what did you expect to see in the

814
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: National Football League in the year twenty twenty that does

815
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: exist or doesn't exist. I can even go first if

816
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: you want. I expected that there would be some sort

817
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: of a chip or some sort of a something in

818
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: a football by the year twenty twenty that would help

819
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: us get oriented on the field better than just mark

820
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, and some change. I've said that all

821
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: along is so refs aren't just arbitrarily spotting. We've we've

822
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: sent people to the moon, you know, We've had people

823
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: walk on the moon, we can fire, we haven't been

824
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: in a while. Well, it's true, we can fire a

825
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: weapon from thousands of miles away that can hit within

826
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: yards of the target, and we can't and we still have,

827
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, with the change over there. I mean, we

828
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: can't do any better than that. The first two things

829
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: you named are more important, probably well I know, but

830
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about just general technology that there

831
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a way to spot to football without using change.

832
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Having the two guys come running out with the change.

833
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: I have thought, and there's probably no way to do this.

834
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: But the yellow line first down you see on TV, Yeah,

835
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: I thought maybe they're going to get that on the

836
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: field somehow, like a hologram. It's amazing how many people

837
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: think that's on the field. I mean, like if top

838
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: golf exists, we can use some of this technology and

839
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: put it in. But to an extent, an NFL game

840
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: can get a little bit too mechanized for me. You know,

841
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: when you're watching, you still like Rick and Smitty bringing

842
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: out the chain, Well, like you watch somebody times to

843
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: see if he caught it. It's like, you know, let's eyeball,

844
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: this was was that a catch? Yes? Or no? Yeah?

845
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: Let's move. No, it's it's catching a ball. But but

846
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good What else did you think

847
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: would would happened? Well, just some of the things that

848
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: they had in this um little store. Was it they

849
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: went lasers on the top of the goal post. I

850
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: say that show all the way up. That was a

851
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: big one. They. Yeah, they would thought that there would

852
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: be technology so that you could erase people in like

853
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: if you're trying to see if a guy stayed inside

854
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: the lines and there's a guy like laying in front

855
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: of the camera, angle that we could digitally remove him

856
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: and then see where his foot is. These are things

857
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: they were saying, in seven years we would be able

858
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: to accomplish these tasks. Russell Wilson failed. And Russell Wilson

859
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: was hosting it with his little short hair. Yeah, he

860
00:45:53,960 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: was such a young I think that was pre Sierra idealist. Yeah.

861
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: Why did they when the when the kickers uh this

862
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: year when they kick a field goal and they're like, hey,

863
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: this would have been good from you know, like sixty

864
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: eight yards. Why did they get rid of that? I

865
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,439
Speaker 1: mean it was sporadic. They they had it sometimes on

866
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: uh during games, and they didn't have it others. Do

867
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: you guys know what I'm talking about? Okay, well, who cares?

868
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: You know what I think? Uh? You know what I

869
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: wish they would get rid of is I can't What

870
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: I don't like about the NFL is the just the whole,

871
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: like gladiatorial, like the music, the horn, the dun dun

872
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: dun duh and the horn music. Oh, I hate it.

873
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: I can't get Oh, it gets me going, I will.

874
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: You don't like the Fox music, I don't like any

875
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: of it. In two? What I don't like that robot?

876
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: All right? But I was talking about this kind of

877
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: battle atmosphere, the battle atmosphere, and it's just big men

878
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 1: eating red and meat and r and I just don't

879
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: I guess what I would like is the call. You know.

880
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: I like college with the band and and I like that.

881
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna you're not going to do that,

882
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: but I just don't want the I just don't want

883
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: the horns anymore. Well, the Ravens had a marching band.

884
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: I forgot this. Yeah, they have a band, and so

885
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: they march out in pregame and they start doing some

886
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: like Queen Medley, and I was like, you know what

887
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: doesn't translate well to a tuba like anything that queen

888
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 1: has ever written. Um, but I appreciated that they tried,

889
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: and we're trying to like pump up the groove. But

890
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Whereas if they

891
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: had just like played some queen and like somebody did

892
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: a short skit of some sort, like a short skit,

893
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: that would I mean, I think that would have landed

894
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: a little bit better and I would have been more

895
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: fired up. And this like big guy with the tub

896
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: three ns, three ravens. I'm surprised, twenty surprised we weren't

897
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: seeing this could be more like a vaudeville routine. That

898
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: would be just something nice. It didn't land. The marching

899
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 1: band didn't land. There for me, well, a lot of

900
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: things they did that night didn't didn't land. That's actually true,

901
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: all right, So do we let Maury do his what's brewing?

902
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: Let's brewing with you? You know, we could talk about

903
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: Derreck Henry that might let's talk about off the charts enough. Well,

904
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: first of all, it's very nice to have trust in,

905
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: you know, your general manager. I think we all kind

906
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: of trust the John Robinson knows what he's doing and

907
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: I think a lot of teams don't feel that way

908
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: about the good point. So very excited to see what

909
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: happens this offseason, not worried. But one thing, you got

910
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 1: a factor in paying Derrick Henry. I know, running backs,

911
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: there's all us talk about what to do. But if

912
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 1: he's kind of this legend and becoming perhaps the face

913
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: of the franchise, if not already, and that I think

914
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: has got to count for something. I mean, if he's

915
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: bringing fans out, if that's the number one selling jersey

916
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: right now, even if you know Eddie George's last couple

917
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: of years wasn't doing much, you know, I mean, he

918
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have to get sixteen hundred yards every season, but

919
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: if he can be kind of our ball carrier for

920
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: a while, that's that's to me worth whatever do you

921
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: think that good contract negotiation there? Just name it name

922
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: and number, Derek. I mean, would you say he's one

923
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: of the five most popular Titans of all time? I

924
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: think I think he's perhaps breached in there. He's approached,

925
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: don't you think? Yeah? I do. And I think the

926
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: Alabama thing helps a little too, because we've got a

927
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: lot of lifers. You get some someship I think the

928
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: whole SEC thing is I mean, anytime we can have

929
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: an SEC guy, I mean Javine Curse from Florida, A J.

930
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: Brown from you know, from Old miss Rashaan Evans from Alabama,

931
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons from Mississippi State, I mean Alfred Haynesworth from Tennessee.

932
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know that's it never hurts, right. And

933
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 1: what's so crazy is that you would think that this

934
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: is Derek's first year on the team. The way people

935
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:49,959
Speaker 1: are talking about him, whether the national media, fans talking

936
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: about him, He's been on the team for four years, right.

937
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's crazy that he is into the

938
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: conversation of top five favorite players of all time and

939
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: wasn't for his first two years. Fair, Yeah, which was

940
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: hard to watch, you know. I think I was one

941
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: of the many fans yelling at the TV's third and

942
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: two and Derrick Henry's on on the field, you know

943
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: we've got I mean, DeMarco Murray was great, but I

944
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: think we were I was ready to see the horse.

945
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 1: And it's fun too that, you know, come third quarter,

946
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, like he's really no pun intended hitting a stride. Yeah,

947
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: And that's that's fun for a viewer, and also it

948
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: keeps people engaged throughout the entire game. It does you

949
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: never know when he's gonna strike fire. It's kind thing

950
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 1: to watch, all right. So can I do my What's Brooks? Yes? Please,

951
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back just a little bit, but I

952
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: want to step out and I want to talk about

953
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: bieber Fever? Can I do that? Bieber Fever? Bieber Fever?

954
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: You know Justin Bieber is coming to Nissan Stadium on

955
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: July the eleventh? Did you realize I did not know

956
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 1: that announcing it announce consider this your announcement by play

957
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: announcing it was announced quite a while ago, announcing I

958
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: would love to coming out Canadian. They surprise you that

959
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: on my playlist, I have a Justin Bieber song that

960
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,720
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me even kind of yea. Now it's actually

961
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: DJ Snake's song with Justin Bieber, which is love. Yes, okay,

962
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: but no, I like I think the guys that I

963
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: think the guys are real talent and I'm thrilled that

964
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: he's coming to Nashville July the eleventh. And the thing

965
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: that jumps out to me is that an act of

966
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber's magnitude thirty years ago could not have come

967
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: to Nashville. Yeah, Morial backed me up on this, even

968
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: though he's much younger than I am. We low we're

969
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: Music City, USA, right. We never got the biggest shows

970
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: in Music City because we didn't have an arena and

971
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: we didn't have a stadium. And I'm now we get

972
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: every every great show because of Bridge Down Arena and

973
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:57,919
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium. And I'm so thankful that Phil Bretteson and

974
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: the leadership local state, everybody who joined in, everybody who

975
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: voted for the referendum did this because not only do

976
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: pro hockey fans and pro football fans benefit from the facilities,

977
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: but everybody benefits because we get shows like this now.

978
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know where I'm going to be on

979
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 1: July the eleventh. I don't know if I will have

980
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: bieber fever and that I will be there. I'm getting

981
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: the sense that you're gonna be there, sit this one out.

982
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: If DJ snakes there, I may be in. But anyway,

983
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: the bottom line is, I'm so thankful that these guys

984
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: had the foresight to do this because it's been fantastic

985
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 1: for this community and it was a huge step. It

986
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: wasn't just about the NFL and the NHL. It was

987
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: about what those facilities could do that we didn't have

988
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,959
Speaker 1: for our overall infrastructure. It's a great decision that really

989
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: helped change the face of Nashville. I totally agree. So

990
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,880
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber helped change the face of Nashville. Not really,

991
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: but you get what I'm saying. Well, you know, and

992
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: maybe we need to wrap up here, but what I

993
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: love about Nissan and Bridgestone is that they are right

994
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 1: in the middle of town, right, I mean, if you

995
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: were visiting here from another big city. I mean, like,

996
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Patriots play an hour outside of

997
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: Boston forever. Yeah, the Giants play in New Jersey. But

998
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: people coming out of the Prez game or a concert

999
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: spill onto Broadway and then you look across the river

1000
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,479
Speaker 1: and there's this epic stadium right there. I mean, that's

1001
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome. I hope that they keep it. And Amy,

1002
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: though we don't uh though more and I did not

1003
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 1: know you before this, We're we're now big fans of yours.

1004

1005
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: like you. Well, thank you. Is there a serious question

1006
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: is there is there anyone on part like, is there

1007
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: as far as play by play announcers go, anyone not

1008
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: even close? Did Mike, No one of your caliber. Oh

1009
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: they're plenty. I mean I've listened to the Pats guy

1010
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: Scott Zolak, and it's like, well he does he does

1011
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: color comments. They're played by play guy. Bob Soshi is fantastic.

1012
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: He's like the best, one of the best. Okay, So

1013
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: there are other ones. Yes, they're trust me, there are

1014
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: other ones in the Titans could get one in a hurry.

1015
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: And I remember that each and every day. Yeah, it's

1016
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: true he's playing scared, but it's every day motivates them,

1017
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: the fear motivate twenty two years of fear. Yes, twenty

1018
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: two years of culture fear, culture fear. Yeah, that's right.

1019
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: He actually I pay them to do it. It's a

1020
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 1: yeah wow yeah wow. Like Aunt Becky, where we started
