35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: start you with a question I have been asked multiple

36
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: times this week. Was last Sunday's game where the Titans

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: fell to the Colts the most bizarre game you have

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: seen in Nissan Stadium. Your answer to that, Philip would.

39
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 5: Be, I mean, with no real time to think about it,

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 5: it's very high on the list. If I mean, it's

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 5: it's got to be top three, right.

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: I would think?

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: So?

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about you.

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: Maybe only surpassed by two thousand and six against the

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: New York Giants.

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter comeback, Yeah, twenty four points in the

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter.

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: That might be the only game that I would at

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: Nissan Stadium, at Nissan Stadium that I would put above it.

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: In sense of just wackiness.

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: Right.

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 6: The only other one I can think of is there

54
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 6: was a Ravens game that ended weird.

55
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Two thousand and one Monday Night Football. Yes, the quarterback sneak.

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Coach, you haven't seen them all in Nisian Stadium.

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: You've seen a lot of games around the league. How

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: strange was that? For everything that went on.

59
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: The most strange.

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 7: I saw things in that game I've never seen before.

61
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 8: With a two point conversion going the other way, Never

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 8: seen that, Never been involved in the six hundred plus

63
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 8: games I've been involved in my career, never seen that.

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 4: I think.

65
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: My answer is it's the strangest game I've seen at

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,279
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium.

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: For everything, for EBB and flow.

68
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: For I mean, Titans get off to a seventeen to

69
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: seven lead and then you know, it all sort of

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: falls apart. The punt block situation, the injury to Ryan

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Stonehouse that occurs later, the returned the a mudy hooker

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: return for an extra point. The strangest game we've ever called, though, easily,

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: is where we're headed next. We're going back to Miami

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: for the first time since September ninth, twenty eighteen. The

75
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: longest game in NFL history. It lasted seven hours and

76
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Now a few facts. Do any of you

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: remember the final score of the game.

78
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't know.

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: No, Mimi won twenty seven to twenty. I did not

80
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: remember that. The game kicked off at one o two

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: pm Eastern. The first delay due to lightning came with

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: one to eleven remaining in the first half, and that

83
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: delay lasted one hour fifty seven minutes. Halftime was then

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: reduced to three minutes and thirty seconds halftime halftime. Second

85
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: delay came with six forty seven remaining in the third

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: quarter and lasted two hours and two minutes, so we

87
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: had one minute short of four hours in delays. The

88
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: game ended at eight ten pm Eastern, and at seven

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: hours eight minutes, was the longest game in NFL history

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: from start to finish by one hour and fifty two minutes.

91
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: In twenty thirteen, the Bears in the Ravens played a

92
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: five five hour, sixteen minute game. But this game, I mean,

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: it's not even close. Seven hours and eight minutes. Rhett,

94
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: you are the staff meteorologist. You love the weather. Do

95
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: you remember going into that game that Sunday afternoon, that

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: opener in twenty eighteen in Miami. Were you concerned about

97
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: weather at all?

98
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 6: Minimally there was I think a twenty percent or less

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 6: chance of anything with inclement weather. And the thing I

100
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 6: remember as the lightning delays were happening looking at the radar,

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 6: it was first of all, you know, in hard rock

102
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: when they redid all of that, they have those awnings

103
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 6: up there, the tarps that hug the field up at the.

104
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: Top of it, so kind of like a gondola.

105
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you're so you know, your your line of

106
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 6: sight and view, which ain't great from the booth anyway,

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 6: but you couldn't see anything that looked like, you know, okay,

108
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 6: well that's you know, it was just just off of

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 6: you know, the coast. It was actually out in the

110
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: ocean kind of. And it was one of those things

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 6: where it was just inside the eight mile radius of

112
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 6: calling a lightning delay for thirty minutes and then you know,

113
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 6: obviously we learned it every subsequent strike was adding another

114
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 6: thirty minutes to that. But no, it was not one

115
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 6: of these things where it's boys, we got to be

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 6: ready because I don't know what's going to happen.

117
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: It wasn't that way with the forecast, and.

118
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: The weekend had started off pretty well for you guys.

119
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Hutton, who couldn't be here because he's had a wedding,

120
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: he informed me, you guys went deep sea fishing the

121
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: day before.

122
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: Is that true?

123
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: The evening before, the evening before, Yes, So you had

124
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: gone out that night and decided, didn't you catch a shark?

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 5: We run, No, I didn't know it was he had

126
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: one on the hook, tried. So we're we're fishing with balloons,

127
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: these big balloons that act as I guess, big bobbers

128
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: if you will, okay, So you throw it out and

129
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 5: when the large fish takes it down. The idea is

130
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: the balloon explodes, and.

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 7: That's the coolest part, is like a mortar hitting the water.

132
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: Can I say something? Sure?

133
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 7: But we had one on and they strapped you into

134
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 7: the barber chair and didn't.

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: It Yeah, didn't they They literally strapped it in the chair.

136
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: They do.

137
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, sure.

138
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: They didn't invite me. Well, they didn't tell me.

139
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I just found out about this when I talked to Jonathan.

140
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: He said, now you have to bring up the story

141
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: because I think there was some feeling of regret about

142
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: six thirty Eastern time on Sunday night that you guys said.

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, you're still more tired. We're still playing

144
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: football at six thirty eastern. We're like, oh good, what's

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: this going to end? I mean the second delay was

146
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: was longer than the first.

147
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: I know, But how when did you get in from

148
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: the fishing trip?

149
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think it was crazy late, just

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: just maybe after dark? Okay, yeah, yeah, we we but

151
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: most of the fishing was done after dark September, so

152
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 3: we had a little bit of daylight, so we probably

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: got back ten, ten thirty, maybe maybe eleven.

154
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, much like the premise of Gilligan's Island. It was

155
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 6: like a three or four hour two. You know what's

156
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 6: crazy is he did have a shark on the line

157
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 6: and the only reason we knew is when we pulled

158
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 6: the line up and the piece of the bait still

159
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 6: on the hook. I mean it was scary looking, look

160
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 6: like it had been in contact with a buzzsaw. Like okay,

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 6: clearly something. But yeah, we did catch some fish.

162
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: Phil was the only one that caught like anything of note.

163
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: I can't what would you call that?

164
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 7: It was a kingfish?

165
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: Kingfish?

166
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you guys have a little backstory to

167
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: this story of us staying on the air. Let's get

168
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: to the first break in the action, a minute eleven

169
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: to go in the first half. I remember being really

170
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: confused about what they were talking about, trying to get

171
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: the picture of what the discussion was with the officials

172
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: on the field. Do you remember who the referee was.

173
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: Was it Jerome Bojer?

174
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: Yes?

175
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: It was Jerome Bojer, Yes, So confusion was part of it.

176
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 7: Now retired, now retired.

177
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: So we were.

178
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: Confused about that. What do you remember thinking, Brad at

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: the moment you knew we were going to a lightning.

180
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 3: Delay, Well, first of all, you start kind of surveying

181
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: the situation because you're I just remember thinking in that moment,

182
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 3: I'm glad we have a plan, because that was the

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: thing that I thought really kept us from veering off

184
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: the rails too quickly. Was is that In the weeks

185
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: leading up to it, we kind of all talked and

186
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: sat down and like come up with something and said,

187
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: if the weather at any game at any location, because

188
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: anytime you're in the preseason, you're playing in August, you

189
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: know it's summertime, these blow up. You know, storms happened,

190
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: not that we were necessary, like prepared for something to

191
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: happen in Miami, but we had we had a plan,

192
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: and I just remember at the time thinking, Okay, I've

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: kind of glanced at this plan once, maybe twice, but

194
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: now we're actually gonna do this thing, so let's just start.

195
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: And you know, the biggest thing was is can we

196
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: just find out how long this is going to be?

197
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: I mean, do we have an idea? And the thing

198
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: about it was is we never really did. You know,

199
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: it's you know that once there's a strike, it's thirty minutes,

200
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: you know, automatically, but you know, once that process starts,

201
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 3: and to Ritt's point, the way that the stadium is constructed,

202
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: I mean there were times when you I don't even

203
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 3: think it was raining, you know, like you would look

204
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: and you're like it just kind of looks hazy out.

205
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: So it was hard to get your head around, you know,

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: just what this process was going to look like. Of course,

207
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: then my second thought was where's Rhett. He'll know because he,

208
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: you know, he's probably already pulled up a radar somewhere

209
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: and has a pretty good idea of you know, how

210
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: far this is. And at that point, you know, it's

211
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: everybody dig in and and you know, let's just uh's

212
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: follow the plan.

213
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: Who was talking with Stuart Spears with the team trying

214
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: to get information or talking with an official who whose

215
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: job was that?

216
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: Well?

217
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: Amy Wells was on the sidelines and she was the

218
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: conduit of most information.

219
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 2: Now.

220
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: I don't know if Brad was texting or talking with

221
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: other folks on via phone up in the booth, but

222
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: the main source was was Amy down on the field.

223
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: And we were getting a lot of information from the tunnel.

224
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: And God bless Amy's heart, you know, like she would

225
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: go in the tunnel and we would lose connectivity with

226
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: her from it, you know, because Miami is a terrible

227
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: you know, wireless frequency town, because there's so many TV

228
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: towers close by, so she would have to almost stand

229
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: in a certain place and like, you know, hold the

230
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: microphone at a certain angle before we could even hear. So, yeah,

231
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 3: she would come out of the tunne into a lightning

232
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 3: storm to offer us updates. I'm being told it's going

233
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: to be you know X, you know, at least thirty

234
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: more minutes.

235
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: You know, Well, let's tell the Amy part of the story. O, Yes,

236
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: because I think this is an important part of the story.

237
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: Amy is not here because she's on maternity leave. Family's great,

238
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: she's coming back first of the year. We're excited to

239
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: have her. We're disappointed she's not here today because Rhett

240
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: her part of the story is really fascinating. Amy is

241
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: now the sideline reporter, working her first regular season game

242
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: ever in the middle of all of this.

243
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 6: And when you think about what a wonderful job she

244
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 6: did considering what all happened, it really speaks to her talents.

245
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 6: Because Mike, I went back and looked at my notes,

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 6: because the sidelines are sponsored by Pinnacle Financial Partners.

247
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 4: Remember FDIC official bank of the Titan Is.

248
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: It Titans Banking dot Com? That's right.

249
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 6: Yes, she did twenty one sideline reports day. That's more

250
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 6: than in some spells and periods during a season.

251
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 4: We would go to her in three or four games. Sure, easy?

252
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: Oh easy? Yeah? And were you talking with her the

253
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: most film?

254
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 7: I think so.

255
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: She and I are in communication pretty much the whole game.

256
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 5: And when the first like Rrett said, the way it's configured,

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: you don't see a lot of the sky. I see

258
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 5: virtually none of it from where I'm at in the booth,

259
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 5: but the view the sightline of the sky is pretty limited.

260
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 5: So the first I remember the first rumble of thunder

261
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: and you think, I'm thinking, well, that was a little odd,

262
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 5: probably the PA And then the second one hid and

263
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 5: I think that's when Brad and I kind of we

264
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 5: looked at each other and about that same time, Amy's saying, hey, hey,

265
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 5: this is this is a thing that's happening. And within

266
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: you know, just a moment, they're clearing the field.

267
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 7: It happened that fast.

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: So and Nikita Amy too coach is because she works

269
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: for the team and at that point had been with

270
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: the team for five years. She has access that ninety

271
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: percent of sideline reporters don't have, so she's able to

272
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: tell us exactly what the team is doing during all

273
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: of this.

274
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I would say probably access that one hundred

275
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 8: percent don't have, because you know, implicit trust was important

276
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 8: during that time.

277
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: And Amy was right in the middle of it.

278
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 8: I mean, you talk about eye of the storm, she

279
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 8: went right in the middle of it, and she's down there,

280
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 8: and plus you know Brent Acres and his whole LOPS crew.

281
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 8: I mean, and Amy was she was dialed into everything.

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 8: And I'll reiterate what Brad said, I was a little

283
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 8: concerned because I'm not a real smart man, but I

284
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 8: knew if we were delayed because of lightning. And she's

285
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,359
Speaker 8: standing out there waving a microphone.

286
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: In the movie, when she.

287
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 8: Was doing she would appear out of the tunnel. I

288
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 8: mean she'd come out of the tunnel like a gopher,

289
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 8: and she'd come.

290
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Out of the tunnel.

291
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: She start waving this thing around and I remember looking

292
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 8: at you, going, is this a good idea?

293
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: But she was going to get the stories.

294
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 7: She was she was going to get the story, and

295
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 7: she was.

296
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 8: Going to get the information, and I was impressed.

297
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Well, the incredible part is that she had all the

298
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: stuff that was happening, not just from the official standpoint,

299
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: but she was providing a backstory during all of this.

300
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: And Brent Akers actually told us on an OTP recently

301
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the story about all the food. Let's take a listen

302
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: to the Titans vice president of operations for the team,

303
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Brent Akers, so you hear the whole story about what

304
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: they were trying to do with food during all of this.

305
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: I want to know what.

306
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Really happened when the Titans played the season opener at

307
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Miami and what turned out to be the longest game

308
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: in NFL is seven hours and eight minutes.

309
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: Yes, and you had the two long delays.

310
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: Is the story true that someone or someone's from the

311
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: ops staff went to the grocery store to get bread

312
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: and peanut butter?

313
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: True story? Okay, true story. We used to carry a

314
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: trunk with this.

315
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 7: Full of peanut butter and jelly, Okay, with.

316
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 9: All the bread and there typically, but when it happened,

317
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 9: and I want to say, Mike, it was the second

318
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 9: quarter started to we started making PP and j's, and

319
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 9: the guys were hungry, so they came in and then

320
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 9: they changed their sweat and socks, undershirts.

321
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: We started making them j's.

322
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 9: Even the general managers help you make. And then the

323
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 9: second break we started making more PP and J and

324
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 9: then we ran out of bananas, ran up oranges. Then

325
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 9: it would have more PB and js. And then our

326
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 9: post game food came, which was mister Barbara. So the

327
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 9: next thing you know, in the third quarter, we're eating

328
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 9: our post game food and then I get a call

329
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 9: that we're out of bread and out of B and j's,

330
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 9: So I go to the concessionaire and goes in a

331
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 9: friend of mine that works gomfans helped me.

332
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: Get two more builds of road.

333
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: Agree.

334
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 9: So at the end of the game, I was out

335
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 9: of peanut butter, We're out of barbecue, we were out

336
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 9: of E're sitting there and everybody's about the miser minus

337
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 9: you'd probably.

338
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: There as well.

339
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 9: And the quarterback's time. Marcus said, I really just want

340
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 9: to Pepperoni pizza. So Luke Marrow on our staff. I

341
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 9: gave him my credit card. He goes into the concourse,

342
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 9: he gets a pizza. So Marcus is eating pizza.

343
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 7: You know, maybe that was the fourth quarter.

344
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 9: Then okay, and then next thing, oh, players see it

345
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 9: and I call it one of pizza.

346
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go.

347
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 9: So next CNA, Luke's up there and he takes a

00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 9: cooler and he Phil is a cooler full of personal

349
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 9: pieces the players.

350
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: It dates me.

351
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 9: I bet Chris and I handed out seven thousand cups

352
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 9: a walk in su I've never seen an I've never

353
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 9: worked that hard for the.

354
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: Same I think we feel the same way.

355
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: But the story Brent told is the story that Amy

356
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: Wells was telling to our Titans radio audience. As we're

357
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: going through our rotations. Jonathan Hutton has a rotation. I

358
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: have a rotation. Coach Mack has a rotation, We're getting

359
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: weather people on the air, and we're just continuing to

360
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: roll through. Brad and Rhett, I want you to describe

361
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: why we felt like it was important for our radio

362
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: stations from a radio functionality on Sunday afternoon, of why

363
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: we felt like we needed to stay on the air.

364
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 4: Well.

365
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 7: At that point, I'd been.

366
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: Directing programming for the flagship for twelve years, ended up

367
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 3: doing it thirteen years. I've been in situations before, through

368
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: NASCAR races, baseball games, any number of sporting events where

369
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 3: they would go to a rain delay.

370
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 4: And what you realize is is that.

371
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: The ability to communicate down the line to someone in

372
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: different markets across you know, your network is difficult because

373
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: you know some people are are you know, it's a

374
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon. Some people are automated, there's a computer running

375
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: your game, and there's not a lot of way to

376
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: do you know that. And me personally, I've been in

377
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: enough situations where we'd kind of been hung out to

378
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 3: dry that I think when we all talked about our

379
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: weather plan, we even included that in the conversation. We

380
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: don't we don't want to be in a situation where

381
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: Titans radio kind of hangs, you know, our affiliates out

382
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: to dry. So from that standpoint and from a listener standpoint,

383
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: you know, I had people tell me after the fact,

384
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: you know, like they had gotten out of church and

385
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: they turn us on and they go home and they

386
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: three or four things, and they're like, all right, we're

387
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna go out to dinner, and they get in the

388
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: car and we're still on the radio. You know, But

389
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: it was in my mind, and I'm sure rhet could

390
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: speak to this too. You know, it was about information,

391
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: but from a from a radio perspective, from an affiliates perspective,

392
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: it was about making sure that you know, we kind

393
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: of lived up to our end of the obligat you know,

394
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: our obligation, which was cover what was happening in real time.

395
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 3: And and you know, so we we were just very

396
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 3: steadfast that if this is if they don't announce that

397
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: this is going to be a five six seven hour delay,

398
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 3: we're staying on and we're filling the time with content.

399
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, here's the thing, and that's the essence

400
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 6: of what radio broadcasting is. It's what radio was distributed

401
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 6: and made for, is to distribute mass amounts of information

402
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 6: to people. Now, this is not a life and death situation, obviously,

403
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 6: but it's communicating. And so anybody who was listening doing

404
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 6: whatever on Sunday after you got out of church, I'm

405
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 6: sure was compelled by what they are still playing.

406
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: They're still on the air, and think about this. It

407
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: was so long. That game was so long. The noon

408
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 4: kicks and the.

409
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 6: Three and three twenty five kicks, those games were all concluded.

410
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 6: They were done.

411
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 4: Before the Titans and the Dolphins got finished.

412
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: The Sunday night game started five minutes after we ended.

413
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 7: Well, and that's the thing.

414
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 5: It TV had long since gone to do other things.

415
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: They I think they were maybe giving occasional updates, but

416
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: as far as what was going on in the in

417
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 5: the stadium, we were the only way that people knew

418
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 5: how to find out what the status of our game was.

419
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 5: For the most part, the TV was out, I think

420
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 5: the even the other Miami's radio broadcast they had thrown

421
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: it back to the studio.

422
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 7: So you know, that's if you were listening on Serious

423
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 7: you weren't getting you know, much from there.

424
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 5: So what we were doing was the only conduit of

425
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 5: information to anybody who cared anything about this Titan Game,

426
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 5: coach Mack went and.

427
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: Hung out with the We're sitting there doing the broadcast,

428
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: and he brings in like Bob Greasy, Joe Rose, and

429
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: Bob Greasy, Jimmy Sefalo come in the booth.

430
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 8: They called me out in the hall because I'd stepped

431
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 8: out in the hall when we had had Now I'm

432
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 8: going to show that I know about broadcasting, that good

433
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 8: broadcast guru, the preparation that this group made before I

434
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 8: ever even thought about doing this. When Mike Keith asked

435
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 8: me to come back to do this and I agree to.

436
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 8: One of the things after all the niceties got over

437
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 8: with is he handed me a notebook with tabs and

438
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 8: everything in there. He said, look, here is our procedures

439
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 8: for various instances. Read this because you never know when

440
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 8: it'll come up. And one of them was weather delays.

441
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: And so I've had a few.

442
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 8: Notebooks in my coaching career and play books, and so

443
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 8: I started looking through it and I'll go, WHOA, this

444
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 8: is really detailed. It was detailed, and it was detailed.

445
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 7: To the point that there was so much evergreen content.

446
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 7: See I know that term nice, yeah.

447
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 8: Evergreen, but it was it was interviews that have been

448
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 8: done beforehand just for this reason, and it was it

449
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 8: was really amazing.

450
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 7: So some of that Evergreen was on.

451
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 8: So I stepped out in the hall and then Bob

452
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 8: Grease he grabbed me, and then Cephalo came up and

453
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 8: they said, what are you guys talking about?

454
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 7: And they say, still be there.

455
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 8: No, they said, Coach Max, seriously, what are you guys

456
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 8: talking about in there? And I went, hey, we got

457
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 8: a plan. I said, we got plenty to talk about it.

458
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 8: And he said, well, we're throwing it back to the station.

459
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 8: You know, we're throwing it back to the station, and

460
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 8: you know, we're getting ready to just go hang out now.

461
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: So I came back in. And when I did come

462
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: back in, now we had been doing it.

463
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 8: For a while and normally thisay second delay, Yeah, the

464
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 8: second delay.

465
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: They said, what are you guys doing?

466
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 8: So but I came back in and everybody's hungry because

467
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 8: they've been out fishing.

468
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,439

Speaker 2: But caught no dinner.

471
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,920

Speaker 8: you know, we don't have any food. I said, I'll

474
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 8: find some food.

475
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: So I go up to the sweets because I know

476
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 2: a few people in this league.

477
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 8: And I went up to the sweets and that you know,

478
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 8: where the coaches wives are hanging out and and some play.

479
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 8: And there was pizzas stacked up there for them. And

480
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 8: I went to somebody that I knew in there and said,

481
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 8: y'all eating all of these?

482
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 2: No, coach, Mike, you want?

483
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: You want?

484
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: You want some?

485
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 8: I some want all of them. So I brought about

486
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 8: four boxes of pizza back in and saved the day.

487
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 8: I brought about four boxes the pizza back in and

488
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 8: and and delivered it to the guys. And and here

489
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 8: we go, because we didn't get to eat at halftime. No,

490
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 8: it had passed dinner. And it's not like we eat

491
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 8: a lot in pregame anyway. No, Now, on the on

492
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 8: the plane going back, we're all famished, and they generally

493
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 8: have food for the team. Your Brent Aker's talk about

494
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 8: the delivered the post game food. So as we are

495
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 8: headed to the buses, they have postgame food that you

496
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 8: can get or you can wait and eat on the

497
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 8: plane or in some cases both. When we when we

498
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 8: were headed down after it was over, there was nothing

499
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 8: to eat and by the time we got on the plane,

500
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 8: it was ten o'clock Eastern time, and if that pizza

501
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 8: had not been there, I don't know what I.

502
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 2: Would have done. So thank you, coach. I never knew

503
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: where you got the pizza. I felt like you just

504
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 2: stole it.

505
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 4: I did, and would you.

506
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: Ask, which sort of makes me feel a little better

507
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: because I've always for years I felt like you just

508
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: ripped off that pizza.

509
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: Well, they asked it.

510
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 8: The person thought I wanted a slice of pizza. I said, no,

511
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 8: I want all of them.

512
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: The boxes you saved the day.

513
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 7: Well, it was just a small contribution, but.

514
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: Wow, Amy Wells was dying because they didn't. They did

515
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: not share anything with her. I think she finally stole

516
00:25:59,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: a bana.

517
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: Didn't Coach Vrabel have like a sandwich that he was

518
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: going to finish?

519
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 7: The best story she was.

520
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 5: One of my favorite stories that she tells from that

521
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 5: is somehow everybody was getting peb and J's and Coach

522
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 5: Rabel had a sub sub sandwich and it was just

523
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 5: sitting on a I think a road case of some sort.

524
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 5: He's his hair's on fire and doing eighteen different things,

525
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 5: so he's not eating the sandwich and she's staring at

526
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 5: the sandwich and she's probably the only one in the

527
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 5: entire organization that at this point hasn't.

528
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 7: Had access to food, to anything, to nothing.

529
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know.

530
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: He's freezing and wet and she you know, because that

531
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: was one of the problems in the locker room is

532
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: they come in and they're all wet because it did

533
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: rain at the end of the first half, and so

534
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: they're all sweaty and wet and they can get out

535
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: of stuff, and the air condition was blowing like crazy,

536
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: so they could get out of all the wet stuff.

537
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: She can't, and so she's dying and she's hungry. And listen,

538
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: she's incredibly grumpy when she's hungry.

539
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: When we no, I'll say it, I mean she is.

540
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: When we first interviewed her for her job, we went

541
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: to a Chinese place to have lunch and she was

542
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: sitting there chatting and she was impressing us.

543
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: With, you know, her knowledge and everything, and we just

544
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,239
Speaker 2: kind of liked her.

545
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: And then she won me because during the course of

546
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: the end of the conversation she looked at one I

547
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: think it was all guys that were with her. I

548
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: can't remember who all the group was, but she looked

549
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: at one of the guys and she goes, you're gonna

550
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: finish that.

551
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: She took the rest of his cume pal chicken and

552
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: put it away. I like her.

553
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: That's but so this is the person who's who's wet

554
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: and has had no food, and.

555
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 7: And it's three feet from a saying what she can't touch.

556
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 2: She can't touch because it's Mike Rabel's first Yeah, that's right.

557
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: Today, having been with him for ninety nine games, she

558
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: would have taken the same absolutely, no chance.

559
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 7: But she was tempted. But she was tempted, absolutely, And

560
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 7: that's such.

561
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: A great picture.

562
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 6: And the other thing I remember about this so at

563
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 6: some point we're on the air long enough, Brad looks

564
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 6: at me and.

565
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: Goes, we need new batteries for her stuff.

566
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 6: That's right, And I'm like, you're exactly right, because the

567
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: belt pack, which is you know, part of the frequency stuff,

568
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 6: and the wireless handheld Mike. I'm like, I gotta go down,

569
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 6: and so I go down. I find her, We get

570
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 6: her batteries, and I get a glimpse of what she's

571
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 6: reporting on, what all is going on. It's crazy. So

572
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 6: we talk about people that love weather. Of course, Brett

573
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 6: Kern is the weather guy, and he and Ryan suck

574
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 6: Up and a couple other guys were hovered around a

575
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 6: tablet looking at the radar, and of course I'm asking, hey,

576
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 6: what's the latest?

577
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 4: What do you see?

578
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 6: And they're just hanging out outside the locker room looking

579
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 6: at the weather situation. And we get our batteries replaced

580
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 6: and I get back upstairs. The other thing I'm thinking too,

581
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 6: is you're right. We had evergreen long form interviews that

582
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: we ran, and bless him, Larry Stone, the godfather of

583
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 6: Titans Radio, knew how long we were on the air

584
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: and sent us electronically some archival files that he had.

585
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hadn't worked for us in five We hadn't

586
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: worked with us in five years. Still a friend, but

587
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: hasn't worked with us, And had some great stuff.

588
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 4: Like the interview that he did with mister Adams.

589
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 6: For the anniversary of the AFL, and you know, all

590
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 6: these things, and that those kinds of things got us

591
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 6: through because we needed ten minute breaks to reset everybody.

592
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: We had a feature that we had put together in

593
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: the weeks leading up that were about weather oddities. You

594
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: know that we were like, if we ever get into

595
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 3: a weather delay it it would kind of be cool

596
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 3: to talk about.

597
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 7: What was the hottest game the coldest keeping.

598
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: So we had like this ten minute feature that was

599
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: put together that was good content, that was you know,

600
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: entertaining and informative, but to your point, it gave you

601
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: a chance to just like take your headset off for

602
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: three or four minutes and collect your thoughts or make

603
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: a restroom run or anything.

604
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: That you needed to do.

605
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: Because again, the first one was an hour fifty in the.

606
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 2: Second hour fifty seven, the second one was two two,

607
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: so we.

608
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: Had we had windows where we had, you know, to

609
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 3: get things done. I just remember being we didn't stay

610
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: on the air as like a dare like you know

611
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 3: when we when we went into it, you know, like

612
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: we weren't just like, let's just see if we can.

613
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: Do this right.

614
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: It was it was. It was the plan.

615
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: It was the plan.

616
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: And and I remember, and I had forgotten about it,

617
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 3: but we we heard the first rumble of thunder and

618
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: we're like that that felt awful close. And then we

619
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: heard the second rumble of thunder and it's real and

620
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: it's real, and then you see everybody scat and get

621
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 3: off the field and you know, it's funny. You asked

622
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: me what I remember. The next thing I remember is

623
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 3: three different, four different people pulling three ring binders out

624
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: of a bag, opening it up and going, click, here's

625
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: the weather plan.

626
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 4: Because we had it.

627
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 7: I mean, we still we can still do.

628
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: I brought it. It is.

629
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's laminated. Now it's fancy Field did this.

630
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: Thank you.

631
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: But everybody, I mean to a man, everybody in the

632
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: group pulls, pulls the folder out, clicks the three ring binder,

633
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 3: pulls it and starts running, running the play and.

634
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: Go to break, we reset, we come back.

635
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: Because the thing about Radio two is that we know

636
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: this is not nineteen forty five. You're not listening to

637
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: FDR's fireside chat with the radio on and waiting for

638
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: programs come. You're in and out of the car and

639
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're waiting to pick up a kid

640
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: at ball practice or whatever that is. And so we're

641
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: trying every fifteen minutes to we said it. So you

642
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: don't think, oh, this is a replay, right, because we're

643
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: knowing you've driven to Kroger, you're listening to this, you're

644
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: thinking this is kind of nuts. You go into Kroger,

645
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: you do your shopping. When you get back in the

646
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: car thirty forty five minutes, you need to be reset again.

647
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: And so we you know, we're doing things behind the scenes,

648
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what we're going to do, but

649
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: we're also trying to keep people.

650
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: And we do that on the broadcast. I mean, we know.

651
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean one of the challenges that we had when

652
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: we got here was church because people we thought initially

653
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: we would be a three zero five kickoff city. We

654
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: thought we were going to be in that bunch. That's

655
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: the way we had talked to the league about it,

656
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: because there were so many people that said, initially, well,

657
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: we can't get to a game at noon because we

658
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: get out.

659
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: Of church at noon. Yeah, well so we still respect that.

660
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: So if you listen to us now at about twelve

661
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: fifteen or twelve twenty, you're going to hear the score

662
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: a lot because we know people are just getting to

663
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: their cars out of church, right, And that's cool. I mean,

664
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: so you take care of the whole audience any way

665
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: that you can. Now, what's interesting is that churches now

666
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 1: do different services at different times, so you know, all

667
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: of those things factored in that kind of thought process.

668
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Factored into that day, just knowing that people are, you know,

669
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: kind of doing different things.

670
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,239
Speaker 7: And then it became they're going to church on Sunday night.

671
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they went to church right right, they were done

672
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: with church, they had the pot luck and they were

673
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock they came out there.

674
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: This is still going on.

675
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 6: I have a question for everyone here about what was

676
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 6: a moment or something you remember an odd ball thing

677
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 6: for me in this case of like, this is really.

678
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 4: A long this is a thing. This is a long day.

679
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 6: And the thing that hit me was I remember you

680
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 6: and Mac and I don't know it was the first delay,

681
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 6: second delay, all that kind of blenz together, but you

682
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 6: were looking at the Ring of Honor and discussing the name.

683
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: Boy Larry Little was you know, he's a great guard.

684
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: And I remember sitting to myself going, boy, this is

685
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: something man, they are this is.

686
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 2: But I thought it was a great idea.

687
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, hey, Phil, Phil, fill the time, feel the time.

688
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 4: But I'm like, god, this is this, this is something else.

689
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 4: This is really going to be a long day.

690
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 8: Well, Mike Keith, in one of those evergreen moments he's

691
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 8: talking about, we collected he said, hey, coach, Mike, we

692
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 8: come back on the air, We're going to go through

693
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 8: this ring of honor. He said, you've been in the

694
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 8: league long enough. You can give me a little thumbnail

695
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 8: on all these guys. And he said, just give me

696
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 8: a little thumbnail sketch and we will and I said, okay.

697
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 8: And so we started in on that, and I'm you know,

698
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 8: as we we start going through it, I'm going I

699
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 8: don't know how he thought of that, but that was

700
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 8: really pretty clever to do that. I mean, I remember

701
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 8: that because I'm sitting there. And the other thing that

702
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 8: he said was, look, as we go through this, and

703
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 8: I know we haven't prepared this, he said, play like

704
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 8: you're interested.

705
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 4: I remember that.

706
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 7: Well.

707
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 4: We talked about Nick Monican.

708
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: I said, Mike, I can do it. It was but

709
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 2: just the preparation part of it. It was unusual.

710
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 4: You know.

711
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 8: I was involved in the Fog Bowl, Yes, the playoff games,

712
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,439
Speaker 8: Eagles playoff game, which was at that time the most

713
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 8: unusual and it's still one of the ones, on top

714
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 8: of the on top of this one. But the game

715
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 8: wasn't delayed because of that. This was a whole different animal.

716
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 8: We were riding the whole different animal.

717
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: All right, so I need to remind Titans fans it's

718
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: always game on with Duncan, So grab a coffee and

719
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: kick off the action. Whether that's drinking a cup of

720
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: coffee on your way to the game or grabbing one

721
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: to go before listening at home, Duncan is always there

722
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: to he help you get your game on.

723
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: Just like the pros.

724
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: We need to be at our best come game time,

725
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: which is why Duncan is the most important part of

726
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: your game day ritual because it's always the best call

727
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 1: for football America runs on Duncan. All right, So I

728
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 1: want to throw out some other interesting facts about the game.

729
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 1: See if you have comments on them. Okay, Dion Lewis

730
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: first game as a Titan sixteen carries seventy five yards.

731
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: He caught five passes for thirty five yards. Derrick Henry

732
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: ten rushes for twenty six yards, but he had a

733
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: sixty two yard touchdown called back on a holding call

734
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: by Delaney Walker. That was very questionable call. Yeah, and

735
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: each team scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter.

736
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 4: Well, that's right.

737
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 2: Each team had a kickoff return for a touchdown.

738
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 6: Jae Cane Grant one hundred and two yards, Darius Jennings

739
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 6: seventy four years.

740
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 2: Darius Jennings, that's right. It was longer than that, I think,

741
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 2: but yes.

742
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota threw two interceptions after a hint from William

743
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: big Play Hayes caused numbness in his arm. He was

744
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: replaced by Blaine Gabbert, who also threw an interception. Rashad

745
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: Jones for Miami had two of the interceptions. On one

746
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: of his returns, Adrian Branch blindsided Taytor Lawan and knocked

747
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: him out. He would miss the game. The next week

748
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: against Houston, a huge fight broke out. There were penalties

749
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: thrown after the fact, but no penalty on the hit.

750
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Delandy Walker was lost for the year as he suffered

751
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: a broken ankle while being tackled by TJ. McDonald. He

752
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: would miss the rest of the season. Ryan Tannehill was

753
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: playing his first game at over six hundred days after

754
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: suffering an ACL injury during the twenty seventeen preseason. He

755
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: threw for two hundred thirty yards with two touchdowns and

756
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: two interceptions. Six months later, March fifteenth, twenty nineteen, Tannehill

757
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: was obtained by the Titans with a sixth round pick

758
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 1: in exchange for a twenty nineteen seventh round pick and

759
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty fourth round pick.

760
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: Pretty good trade for the Titans.

761
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: The twoenty nineteen sixth round pick that the Titans obtained

762
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: ended up being.

763
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: Anyone, Anyone David Long Junior. David Long Junior, who now

764
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: plays for the Miami Dolphins. How weird is that.

765
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 4: A right?

766
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: Well?

767
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 7: The circle in the National Football is this big.

768
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: Dereck Henry is the only Titans starter who remains from

769
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: that game.

770
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 4: Wow. Wow.

771
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: Linebacker Jerome Baker and cornerback Xavian Howard are the only

772
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Dolphins starters remaining from that game five years ago.

773
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, just five years ago.

774
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy.

775
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 4: A lot happens.

776
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: Adam Gase was the Dolphins coach. He was fired at

777
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: the end of that season, which was his third. He

778
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: was immediately hired by the New York Jets, where he

779
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: coached for two years. Gays has not coached since, and

780
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: he's still just forty.

781
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: Five years old.

782
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 7: National Football League.

783
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: All right, here's my favorite. The Titans strong safety in

784
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: that game was Kenny Vaccaro. His sister Keita is now

785
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: married to the Cheetah Tyreek Hill.

786
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 4: Only on.

787
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: That's the fact you didn't need to know, but I

788
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: just couldn't leave it out because I do. Coach back

789
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: would give you a good reaction to talk about details.

790
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: We talked about his whole details. That is Mike Keith.

791
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: So Mike Rabel's first game, he goes back to Miami

792
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,959
Speaker 1: now for Monday Night football in his one hundredth game.

793
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:01,879
Speaker 1: Talk if you would, from just a coaching perspective, has

794
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: any head coach in the National Football League ever had

795
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: a stranger first game and then a stranger situation leading

796
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: into Week two to play Houston, who is the AFC

797
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: South Champion. Then Mike Vrabel went through in that very

798
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: short period of time.

799
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 7: No.

800
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 8: No, And I say that because I haven't experienced every game.

801
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 8: I've experienced a lot of them, and I know the

802
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 8: history of this league. But living that, you were thinking, Wow,

803
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 8: and you know, I'd just been a head coach, and

804
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 8: I'm going, how is he managing all of the things

805
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 8: that you have to manage, not only physically, but just

806
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 8: the atmosphere that you've got to be able to stop,

807
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 8: start and recreate after all of this.

808
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 4: No, the answer is no to that.

809
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: RTT Brian, what's your overriding memory of this experience twenty eighteen,

810
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: in my me the NFL's longest game.

811
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 6: First of all, relief that it was over. I'd be

812
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 6: lying if I said otherwise. I hope we don't revisit

813
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 6: anything that long again, but I do. I do think

814
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 6: frequently about that and going into Week two at home

815
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 6: against the Houston Texans, and how they basically had to

816
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 6: start all over with the playbook because you had no

817
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 6: left tackle, you had no right tackle, you had no

818
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 6: star tight end, you had no starting quarterback. You know,

819
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 6: you had a trick play on special teams to get

820
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 6: your first score. You know, Kevin Byer to Dane crookshank

821
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 6: for sixty six yards. It's just wild to think and

822
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 6: just think it seems like yesterday, but it seems like

823
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 6: a long time ago. So you know, when you was

824
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 6: thinking this is Mike Rabel's one hundredth game as head

825
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 6: coach of the Titans, it's like, boy, that went really fast, Brad.

826
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,919
Speaker 7: In some ways, I still feel like I'm there.

827
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I just remember being so happy that it

828
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: was finally over, being mentally fried just from all of

829
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: the I mean, there was so much going on behind

830
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 3: the scenes that typically wouldn't happen on a typical you know,

831
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: game day. But also I also kind of just remembered

832
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 3: once we realized it was the longest game in NFL history,

833
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: like this strange sense of pride that like we were

834
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 3: a part of something that.

835
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: Was pretty cool. You know.

836
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: That, That to me was kind of the biggest takeaway

837
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 3: that Like when we left, you know, it was like, hey,

838
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 3: we did what we said we were going to do.

839
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 3: You know, we we we stayed on, We we delivered content,

840
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 3: we delivered you know, entertainment information, and you know, the

841
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: game did. The only thing that would have made that

842
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: better is that the game result been different and the

843
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: Titans had won that day. But you know, I tell

844
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: people a lot of times, you know, we we don't

845
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 3: have really any any kind of say so or control

846
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: about what happens on the field. We can do kind

847
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 3: of do the radio thing, and I felt like we

848
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: kind of did.

849
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: Our part that day.

850
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 9: Well.

851
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 5: I think one thing we certainly want to mention is

852
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 5: uh as Jonathan Hutton was who's not able to be

853
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 5: with us today, but he quarterback a lot of those

854
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 5: segments through that UH and just did a masterful job

855
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 5: as he always does, and did.

856
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 7: Guiding through many of those parts.

857
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 5: But you know, as long as we've all done this now,

858
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 5: it's just I could, speaking personally, it's hard for me

859
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 5: to retain all of the things over twenty five years.

860
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 5: So at this point you you try to retain moments,

861
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 5: and this was certainly I think in the top top five,

862
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 5: maybe top three moments that we've experiences in Titans Radio.

863
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 5: And like Brad said, when you're in it's you're you know,

864
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 5: you're okay, how long is this going to go? This

865
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 5: is we you know, you're you're, you're exhausted. And then

866
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 5: when it's over, there is that, certainly that sense of

867
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 5: pride of of what you did. And then you start realizing, well,

868
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: nobody's ever done this, this is this is the longest

869
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 5: that anyone's ever done it.

870
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 7: And we just did that and we lived to tail

871
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 7: the tale.

872
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons we wanted to go out

873
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: and do the games in twenty twenty during during.

874
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: COVID, and we owe it to the fans.

875
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:31,399
Speaker 1: I think you I hope people got the experience with us, right,

876
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: and I hope and that's what Amy did so well.

877
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you said that about Jonathan because he

878
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: did such a big job. But I hope, I mean,

879
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: I would love to meet the person who listened for

880
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: all seven hours and eight minutes.

881
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 4: I think.

882
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: I think there was some morbid curiosity after a while,

883
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: It's like, Yeah, are they really going to finish this

884
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: thing talking about the game and the broadcast?

885
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: Are they going to finish this thing?

886
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 4: Which was longer than this evident and eight minutes?

887
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: When because we did the hour pre game and we

888
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: did the full post game, didn't we I mean we

889
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: were on air of that.

890
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 3: Day essentially for nine hours, which you know.

891
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 7: But yeah, did the full foss. We've got breaks to play.

892
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: Too, you hope to bring that's right, which we we

893
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 1: played all of the breaks. The most sponsors got their

894
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: money's worth it. Yeah, yeah, they got some, But we're

895
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: still playing breaks.

896
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah we like breaks. We're all four breaks.

897
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: But you know, you just want to bring people into

898
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: what the experience was, and I think I hope that's

899
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: what we did. I'm also proud that this is the

900
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: first time we've ever really talked about this, Yeah, because

901
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: to us, that's the job. Yeah, And that's what I'm

902
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: proudest about of you guys and of everybody we work with.

903
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 4: Is.

904
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: I didn't nobody expected a metal or I mean we

905
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: did do T shirts. We got a T shirt. Yeah,

906
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: we all we all have T shirts. But I mean, this,

907
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 2: this is the job. That's what you do. You know,

908
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: you show up and you you broadcast the game.

909
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 8: Right, Well, let me just say this, okay, and again,

910
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 8: I'm the newest member of this group and I've got

911
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 8: some but my life experiences in the National Football League.

912
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 8: I mean, when you're when you're part of a coaching staff,

913
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 8: I mean, you've got to be on point and everybody

914
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 8: else around you you have to trust. And you know,

915
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 8: after this, you know had gone on and I was

916
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 8: new to the radio game, I went, Wow, these dudes

917
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 8: really know what they're doing. They really know what they're doing.

918
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 8: And this is a cool team to be a part of.

919
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 8: Because he Brad said it very well, We've got no

920
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 8: control now what you know, what goes on.

921
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 7: I used to have a lot of control what went

922
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 7: on the field.

923
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 8: I've got none now. But the pride that that you started,

924
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 8: Larry Stone started, you started, and you guys have been

925
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 8: part of of what Titans Radio is. It's a pretty

926
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 8: cool thing to be a part of. And I felt

927
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,959
Speaker 8: that leaving there too. I went whoa, and just knowing

928
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 8: that nobody else would have done it because there was

929
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 8: another group.

930
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 2: That had a chance to and they didn't. So that's

931
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 2: maybe they were smart that.

932
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: Maybe they're doing the official Dolphins podcast laughing it up.

933
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: They had pizza, they had And the other thing too

934
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: that Jonathan reminded me of is.

935
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 2: We took the gear out. We went through j Lo's

936
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: dance and there were literally people dancing. Yeah, it was

937
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: it's a club.

938
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 4: There is a club club section.

939
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 3: I'd like to think Bob Greasey is doing a podcast

940
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: today talking about how he got to take a nap.

941
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 4: During the.

942
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 7: That's what I remember.

943
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 5: During the second delay, when we're really in it, I

944
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 5: had stepped out of the door from maybe they have

945
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 5: gone to the restroom. I don't know, if I stepped

946
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 5: out in the hall for a moment. And it's a

947
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 5: really tight area right there, and they're they're right next

948
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 5: to us, and and you see Bob greasy and which

949
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 5: is kind of surreal, and so I'm greasy, and he's

950
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 5: at the coffee machine and he's just he's he's Bob's

951
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 5: not happy. Bob's a little upset that this thing is

952
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 5: still going, and so then you realize, well, this is

953
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 5: you know, that's when that's when it kind of hit

954
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 5: me that, well that I know they're not on the

955
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 5: air anymore. They're they're coming back for updates. But we're

956
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 5: still in it, and we're we're we're fully committed.

957
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: We're all in it.

958
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 4: They're not.

959
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 7: Bob's still not happy.

960
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: But he was on the perfect seventy two Dolphins.

961
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 9: He was.

962
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 7: That was That was the moment that it was just

963
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 7: kind of a wow.

964
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 4: Sure.

965
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 6: I think that is one of the things that makes

966
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 6: Titans Radio something that fans want to listen to is

967
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 6: that everybody sitting in these chairs and the people we

968
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 6: mentioned in Amy Wells and Jonathan Hutton and anybody who's

969
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 6: been on this broadcast, we all have the same goal

970
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,160

Speaker 4: We want to deliver what and and because we all

Speaker 4: have the.

973
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 6: Same goal, there's five people here and two people not

974
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 6: here on this podcast that it's our family.

975
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we we all we just go dig in together.

976
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: Shouldn't we say something by Jordan Tinkle too?

977
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 7: Yes, Yeah, he was.

978
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 2: He was.

979
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 7: He was our scoreboard writer back.

980
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 4: In the day.

981
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean he was at the studio for the whole thing.

982
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 2: He wasn't in Miami with us, but he's another one.

983
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 7: That that entire group.

984
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they were just as you know, kind of

985
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 3: handcuffed to the whole situation.

986
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: You know, as we were so for they were wishing

987
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 2: they worked on the Dolphins broadcast.

988
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 5: Well, he's writing updates here in the game that they're

989
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 5: supposed to last two minutes, and he's got you know,

990
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 5: there's a lot of content and but and so now

991
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 5: we're we're deep into this and he's still writing updates

992
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 5: with a lot less content and they need them to

993
00:49:58,920 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 5: be five minutes.

994
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, so yeah, he was he's a pro. Well, and

995
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 7: you just said it.

996
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: And I think that going back to what Ritt said,

997
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 3: I think there's two reasons that it worked. I think

998
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 3: that I think everybody in our group kind of likes

999
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 3: to kind of go under the mantra just be a pro, right,

1000
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: And that's if somebody says that guy is a pro,

1001
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: that's really one of the highest honors you can get,

1002
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 3: you know, in my mind, and I think a lot

1003
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:21,879
Speaker 3: of people's mind.

1004
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 4: The thing.

1005
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 3: The other thing that I think benefited us is if

1006
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 3: this this group really likes each other, like being around

1007
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 3: each other. So if you stuck in a room and

1008
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: said just just have a bunch of conversations in field time,

1009
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 3: I don't know about you.

1010
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't invited to go fishing.

1011
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 4: I was.

1012
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: About somebody didn't.

1013
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 4: Get I'm in my room eating a grilled cheese sandwich.

1014
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 4: So I don't you want to go fishing.

1015
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 2: No, we can make that happen. We have been known

1016
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 2: to have a good time and like the other together.

1017
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 6: The other person we should mention is is David Drobney

1018
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 6: and his staff at nash Severe Weather. Yes, what's still
