26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: lot's been going on as football is around the corner.

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,880

00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,000

Speaker 4: it on a on a Thursday and week two of

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,720

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 4: are we are a fast approaching football season. And one

33
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: football fan is not happy with his current team. This

34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: also happened earlier this week. But it opens up a

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: bigger question. And this is where Moncey and I and

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 4: the crew want your inputs. All right, eight seven to seven,

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: Dan Byer on Fox. We're talking about bandwagons. That's what

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 4: we're talking about. One A list movie star said earlier

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 4: this week, in so many words, he is not a

43
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: bandwagon fan. But that wasn't his point. His point was

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: he's fed up with his current team. That star is

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: Denzel Washington. His team, the one with the star on

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 4: the helmet, the Dallas Cowboys.

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: I've been a Cowboy fan since the sixties. He's making

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: it hard for me not to be a fan because

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: I'm still a Cowboy fan. I'm still gonna have to

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 5: star on the side of the hat. But he ain't

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 5: thinking about us. He's thinking about his pocket. Okay, I mean,

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 5: Jerry John on the phone, Get him on the phone.

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: What does he say? You tell me, what does he say?

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: He says that he's getting rip my Cowboys.

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 6: We're the most successful brand in sports.

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 7: Know you mean in terms of what championship?

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: No, of course he can't say championship.

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 6: I don't talking about recognition, notoriety, dollars and cents and sports.

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 6: But in the end, the Yankee, you haven't been in

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 6: an NFC championship game or Super Bowl in thirty years.

61
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 6: Thirty years, okay, And for some reason, he's just stubborn. Man,

62
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 6: he just and then you got his son sitting there

63
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: talking about Michael Paus' is like, hey, he gotta want

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 6: to sign a contract.

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: What makes no sense. Guys, But you know this.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 5: There's box office and there's Oscars. Jerry been a while,

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: he ain't been to the show. You wouldn't know.

68
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 4: Oh geez, dead cell serious jabs. He also threw jabs

69
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: at all of us who haven't played sports in our lives,

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 4: in our talking heads. I don't know if we have

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: that audio, but we'll play it later if it is necessary.

72
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: I took a lot from that Manci. But like Covino

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: and Rich like to do, they like to read between

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: the lines. They like to find that get in there.

75
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: And I hope I could do the guy's justice because

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 4: there was something that Denzel Washington said that just had

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: me scratching my head. When he goes, I've been a

78
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 4: Cowboys fan since the nineteen sixties, and that sounds great.

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: Denzel is old enough to remember some of the nineteen sixties.

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: I'm not calling them all. I'm just saying the facts

81
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: are facts. However, what I started to question then, was

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: he really a fan of the Cowboys in the nineteen sixties.

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 4: Denzel is seventy years old. He was born in nineteen

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: fifty four. The Dallas Cowboys came into the NFL in

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty. I'm guessing at five or six years of age,

86
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: he doesn't remember when the Cowboys entered the NFL. So

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 4: when they enter the NFL, they aren't the Cowboys anyway.

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 4: They're just a new team in the NFL that's in Dallas.

89
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: But they start winning games in the mid sixties. They

90
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: play the Ice Bowl against the Packers in the late sixties.

91
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 4: This is when Denzel would be twelve or thirteen. I

92
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: think at a lot of point this is where we

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: get our fandom as kids, maybe even earlier. But then

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 4: there's also a point, Manzie, where you get to maybe eighteen,

95
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: nineteen and twenty, and the teams you liked as a

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: kid just aren't the teams you're gonna like as an adult.

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: You liked maybe one for the uniforms or you like

98
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 4: that player, but as you grow older, you kind of

99
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: settle into your fandom. We all have different ways of

100
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: doing so. The Cowboys heydays prior to their stint in

101
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: the nineteen nineties was the nineteen seventies. So is Denzel

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: Washington lying to us that he was actually a fan

103
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: of the Cowboys in the sixties, where there doesn't seem

104
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: any reason to be a fan. And if you've liked

105
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: the Cowboys for as long as he has has, are

106
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 4: you bandwagon? If you like them because they were winning

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 4: in the nineteen seventies. This is the dilemma. I think

108
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: that there are so many levels of fandom and trying

109
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: to figure out who your favorites are. Because Denzel was

110
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: born in New York, we see him at Laker games

111
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: and I just found out this week that he was

112
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 4: a Cowboys fan. I've seen him his Wikipedia picture I

113
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: think has them been a Yankees cap. So there's a

114
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: lot of top level teams there. But I want to

115
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 4: talk about bandwagon and his Denzel Washington possibly bandwagon because

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: he started liking the Cowboys when they were winning Super Bowl.

117
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 8: Absolutely, where has this information been for years?

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: You were born in New.

119
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 8: York in the sixties, you were a young kid, and

120
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 8: the Giants have been around New York. Giants have been

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 8: around a long time, right, yes, yeah, like he had

122
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 8: a longer even, right, Like he had a team to

123
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 8: follow and root for. But you now in twenty twenty five,

124
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 8: I want to mention that you've been a Cowboys fan

125
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 8: since the sixties.

126
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: All gay Themsel, Yeah, I just I didn't like that's cute.

127
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: I couldn't buy it.

128
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: There's things that you say, like some sports fans will

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: try to justify their fandom and give a reason why.

130
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: I don't think you necessarily always have to do so.

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 4: I have random teams, couple of random teams, teams that

132
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: mean the most to me. I've liked those teams most

133
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: of my life. And when I say most, it's because

134
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: at two and three, I didn't know who the Seattle

135
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: Seahawks were at that point. But when I was seven

136
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 4: and got to meet the Seahawks, meet Seahawks players in

137
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty four, changed my perspective. And when I people

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: ask me, like, you grew up in Wisconsin, you're a

139
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: how are you not a Packers fan? And I say,

140
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: I got to meet the team because their quarterback at

141
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: the time was from Wisconsin. Family friend knew my mom

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: a friend of the family and got us tickets to

143
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: the game in Milwaukee and we got to see the

144
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 4: Seahawks meet the Seahawks afterwards. From then on, it's all

145
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: it's been at the about the Seahawks. That's the furthest

146
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: thing from Vandwagon because the Seahawks weren't actually good, good,

147
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: good up until Mike Homgren took them over, and then

148
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: the Pete carroll eras when they took golf Manzie. So

149
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: there's a lot of different like ways about this, but

150
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: in my specific instance, as being a Seahawks fan for

151
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: so long, I look at people's fandoms all the time,

152
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: and so like when you're talking about Denzel, like, all right,

153
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: if you liked them when they were winning, is that

154
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: bandwagon even if they've been miserable for thirty years.

155
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 8: Yes, that was a bandwagon move. And I feel like

156
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 8: there's nothing wrong with that, but it is just puts

157
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 8: into perspective of when you became that fan.

158
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: I grew up.

159
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 8: Being a Clippers fan, Like I was not allowed to

160
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 8: root for anybody else besides the Clippers, right, and so

161
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 8: whenever somebody's like, oh yeah, I'm a Clippers fan, you know,

162
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 8: it's like, all right, what jersey do you have? Kawhi Leonard,

163
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 8: that's not you jumped on the bandwagon. That's not a

164
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 8: real Clipper fan. And we have a lot of those.

165
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 8: But it's like you weren't there when Elton brand was

166
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 8: there or or Quentin Richardson or you know, like that's

167
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 8: what I remember back in my day and nowadays, like

168
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 8: a team that's perfect is when you meet someone and

169
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 8: they're like, I'm a Chiefs fan. I'm like, yeah, okay,

170
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 8: since when five years ago? Yeah okay, Yeah. There's few

171
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 8: teams where it's like you definitely probably jumped on the bandwagon.

172
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 8: I have a friend, Jacob, who is from Missouri, from

173
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 8: Kansas City, and so when I found out he was

174
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 8: a chief because he lives here, I was like, and

175
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 8: he's like, no, I'm from there. I've been one my

176
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 8: whole life. Half of these people are bandwagoners. I jumped

177
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 8: on the Chiefs ever since we started winning. There's certain

178
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 8: teams that they have a Yes.

179
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 4: I understand that the Chiefs fandom can take off, and

180
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of young fans that are

181
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: Chiefs fans right now. Taylor Swift is probably bringing in

182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: a whole new audience of fans. There was a guy

183
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: that lived in an apartment complex that we lived in,

184
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 4: probably a decade or so ago, and he was a

185
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: Chiefs fan. Where had he had the license plate frameka.

186
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 4: So I'm like all right, and then I would see

187
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 4: him on certain Sundays he'd be in his Chiefs gear.

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: But I can't say that I personally knew or saw

189
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: a Chiefs fan and they were kind of good, yeah, right,

190
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: like it was Alex Smith good. This is before the

191
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: Mahomes takeoff, So there's that portion of it. You're much

192
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: more harder on Denzel than I am, because I do

193
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 4: think if you're still sticking with them through thirty years

194
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: of sorrow, that there's got to be some equity built

195
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: into that.

196
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 8: I guess I just don't believe that he's been dealing

197
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 8: with sorrow for thirty years. I feel like he was

198
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 8: a fan and then stopped being a fan, and now

199
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 8: he's back on being a fan and wants to talk

200
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 8: about how crappy his team is. But I feel like

201
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 8: there was a year's right, like you weren't even thinking

202
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 8: about the Cowboys, right, you know? That's not like you said.

203
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 8: We would have seen pictures on social media or something.

204
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 8: This this is the first time we've heard of this.

205
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 4: Isaac lohncrodez Here, Chris Purfett, Jason Stewart, all hanging out again,

206
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: your phone calls eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.

207
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: Where do you weigh in? And is Denzel Washington a

208
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: Bandwagon fan? If he started to like the Cowboys when

209
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 4: they were winning. I just don't believe his story. I

210
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: think it's easy to say I was a fan of

211
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 4: the sixties. There would be no reason for him to

212
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: be a fan at that point. They were just new

213
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 4: to the league. It just that doesn't make sense unless

214
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 4: there was a reason. I think he became a fan

215
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 4: of the seventies, which helps his argument if he says

216
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: that he's a fan from the sixties. Jason Stewart bandwagon

217
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: is the topic. Yeah, no, no, that's that's that was

218
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 4: where I was going to go. So I always equate

219
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 4: like the invent of television, or at least how when

220
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: TVs were like mass consumed with the nineteen sixty presidential debate,

221
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: remember the Nixon Kennedy thing all that. So TVs weren't

222
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: really around in a mass consumption way in the sixties,

223
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 4: so the only way to follow your team was like

224
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: to go down and watch them down the street, or

225
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: follow them in the local paper. Like, I just don't

226
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: think you got a lot of people that. I don't

227
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: think you had a lot of Dan Byer's in the

228
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: sixties and before that were diehard fans of teams and

229
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: other cities far away, So it just doesn't jive with me.

230
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 9: I don't believe that. In the seventies is when they

231
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 9: started becoming the America's team, right, that was an easy

232
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 9: bandwagon to jump with us.

233
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was, yeah, And that's why I think

234
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: that he became a fan.

235
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Isaac Glowcross a great anecdote and a true anecdote about

236
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: this topic of conversation. In nineteen eighty eight, Wayne Gretzky,

237
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: the most dominant player in hockey history, was traded from

238
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: the Edmonton Oilers at the peak of his career, forced

239
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: down the cups in five years, to the then lowly

240
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: La Kings, and it took hockey Hollywood. It resulted in

241
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: a whole new era of popularity for the NHL. But

242
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: despite that, there was a sizeable group of Kings fans

243
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: who were loyal to the team for many years that,

244
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 3: believe it or not, actively resented them acquiring Wayne Gretzky

245
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 3: and resented the new fans coming in who they considered

246
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: as bandwagon. I'm talking about a small, hearty breed of

247
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: fans who have been loyal to a team that was

248
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: kind of at the bottom of the standings for many,

249
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 3: many years. It's shocking for me to even say that

250
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: that's true, But it was true. They resented the trade,

251
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: and they resented all these new fans that were showing

252
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: up and spoiling their you know, little experience.

253
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: It's people who don't want their favorite bands to become popular.

254
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: A that's such a real thing.

255
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 8: Yes, that is such a real thing because.

256
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: They love the music so much and maybe it's so

257
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: personal to them.

258
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 9: True story. I went to a Metallica concert in nineteen

259
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 9: ninety one, ninety one at the Forum and as Enter

260
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 9: Sandman was played as to start the concert, two Hessian

261
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 9: guys in front of me that were smoking pot looked

262
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 9: at each other and said, this is the song. This

263
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 9: is when it all changed. In other words, they were

264
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 9: fans of the album's previous they were the real fans.

265
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 9: But Enter Sandman gave us all of this.

266
00:13:55,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: No, absolutely, like there's there's no doubt. I know people

267
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 4: the same thing of that Black album was. Yeah, that

268
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: was the line in the sand for them. Tony's in

269
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: Vegas wanting to talk about bandwagons.

270
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: Tony. Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

271
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 7: Oh, how y'all doing great?

272
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: Tony? How are you good?

273
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 10: Good? I want to tell y'all y'all a one thousand

274
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 10: percent wrong. I can tell you guys are not Denzel

275
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 10: fans because everybody who are Denzel fans like myself. No,

276
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 10: he's from Mount Vernon, New York, and he's synonymous with

277
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 10: the Knicks and the Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. It's

278
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 10: just that because of the movies, especially the movie he

279
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 10: played in, uh with When with Bray Allen, he's connected

280
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 10: to basketball. Now, if you're talking about him being a.

281
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 11: Lakers fan, because he lives in.

282
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 10: LA and got houses in LA. He's more of a

283
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 10: Bandwagon fan fan to the Lakers, but not to the Cowboys.

284
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 10: And if you heard his story, he said he was

285
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 10: a Cowboys fan because of his father, and that's why

286
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,359
Speaker 10: he said sixties not sixties.

287
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: Hold on, Tony, Tony, we lost Tony. I had to

288
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: ask him.

289
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: So he said he's been a fan since his the

290
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: sixties or what was the difference?

291
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, the sixties, not sixty. No, we said that

292
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 8: the sixties, not his age.

293
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 4: Here this is and I listen. I got this from

294
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: Denzel's Wikipedia page. Whether it was was true he had

295
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: looked at Texas Tech or thought about going to Texas

296
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: Tech at one point because the high school that he

297
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 4: was in was also called the Red Raiders. Now that

298
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 4: is something that I think any kid can understand. I

299
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: was enamored with the University of Georgia for a time

300
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: when I was a kid because they had the same

301
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: exact helmet that the Packers had, but it was a

302
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 4: different color. Like it was such a it was it's

303
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: such a mind bleep for a kid that's eight years

304
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: old that, like, you know, you just didn't you didn't understand, like,

305
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: how could that, you know, how could that happen? The

306
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: quote from Wikipedia says, I grew up in the boys

307
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: club in Mountain, Vernon and we were the Red Raiders.

308
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 4: So when I was in high school, I wanted to

309
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: go to Texas Tech and Lubbock because they were called

310
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 4: the Red Raiders in their uniforms look like ours. That

311
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: to me is more of a reason and why you

312
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 4: would be a Texas Tech fan than you would be

313
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: a Cowboys fan. Now I'm not a Denzel fan, but

314
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 4: I'll say this to Tony's point that may work against him,

315
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: even though he says we're wrong. What a nice life

316
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 4: to be a Yankees, Cowboys and Knicks fan. In the

317
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: nineteen seventies.

318
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: The nineteen seventies were the last time the Knicks are

319
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: actually good and weren't the darn and winning a championship,

320
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: So like those are all convenient to that point. I

321
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 2: actually thought he was a Lakers fan, but I'm not

322
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: the I don't know everything about Denzel, but this is

323
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: part of the argument. And I don't necessarily think he

324
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: he's bandwagon for the Cowboys because he's stuck with them

325
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: for thirty years. I just think he got on the

326
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: train when the going was good and just never has

327
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: gotten off totally.

328
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 8: And I agree with you, and I mean, Tony made

329
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 8: a point where it's like he the bandwagon of the

330
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 8: Lakers is also still a thing. We're just mentioning the

331
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 8: Cowboys right now. But yeah, he's in LA, so you

332
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 8: could say he's now a Laker bandwagoner. But I it

333
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 8: just like you said, how convenient, how convenient for your fandom.

334
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 4: There are people of my age whose favorite teams are

335
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers, the No Offense, Rich Davis, the Braves,

336
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: all these teams at the time that were winning championships

337
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 4: when you're you know, thirteen years old, or winning teams

338
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 4: at that time, and they all just I'm a I'm

339
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: a Braves, Niners, Bulls fan. Like, oh wow, childhood must

340
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 4: have stunk. You have no idea, You have no idea

341
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 4: what it was like to going to school every Monday

342
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 4: in late November after Ohio State lost to Michigan. Like,

343
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: and my friends weren't Michigan fans. They don't care, they

344
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: just weren't. They laughed at me because the Buck guys

345
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: lost another big game. And that happened over and over.

346
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: Roger in Vegas talking bad Wagons. Roger, Welcome to Fox

347
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 4: Sports Radio.

348
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 12: Hey, hello to everyone, and I want to talk about Denzel.

349
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 12: I'm not a Cowboys fan, but if you go back

350
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 12: to the era when Tom Landry was the coach, they

351
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 12: were in the NFC Championship game like seventeen out of

352
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 12: twenty one years, and I know that created a tremendous

353
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 12: amount of Cowboys fan So that was just my you know,

354
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 12: thought on uh, what you said, he's a badger. There

355
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 12: was a ton of people. And again go back to

356
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 12: Wintar and that's the era that Denzel, like myself would

357
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 12: have been a younger, you know, EASi Lee and Florid Stamp.

358
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 12: You see him in the championship game all the time

359
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 12: and having winning records for twenty plus years. Yeah, they

360
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 12: do a lot of So that's my take on that.

361
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 12: I just wanted to share that with Roger.

362
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 4: I appreciate it because there's the Cowboys and Denzel weren't

363
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: the reason that I thought of this, because I mentioned

364
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 4: this Tomasi earlier this week, and like when we get

365
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: together for Covino and Rich, we have to talk about this.

366
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: I've thought about this about two specific teams, and one

367
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: of them is in the NFL, but the one that

368
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: I thought about at the most is the Chicago Bulls

369
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 4: more because of my age and I have said, I

370
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 4: have respect a lot of respect for Bulls fans that

371
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: are still Bulls fans today because it hasn't been good.

372
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 4: Aside from a little Derek Rose run in there, it's

373
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: been awful. Ref So if you're still a Bulls fan

374
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 4: and sharing for the Bulls today, congratulations, round of applause

375
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 4: to you. Even though in the nineteen nineties you had

376
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: your way with everyone, at least you stuck with them

377
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: and did not veer off. But ultimately it feels like

378
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: there were so many Bulls fans. I was one of

379
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: the few people that didn't like Michael Jordan. I wanted

380
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: the Bulls to lose. I wanted the Sonics to beat them.

381
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 4: I wanted the Suns to be fan Yes I did not.

382
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 4: I was not a Jordan fan. But at some point

383
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 4: you just kind of are like, all right, you know,

384
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 4: it is what it is. They're gonna win again. But

385
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 4: that those fans that were always Bulls fans are you today?

386
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 4: And I think that there's a test to that. The

387
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: other one, to Roger's point of the success of the Cowboys.

388
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 4: I've thought that about the Steelers. How many Steelers fans

389
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: do we know that are our age? And it's because

390
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 4: not your age, Manzi, you're younger. But the Steelers were

391
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: winning those Super Bowls in the nineteen seventies, so you

392
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 4: obviously liked them. And now they have such a huge

393
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: fan base now like are you are you still a fan?

394
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Are you bandwagon?

395
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: The Steelers have had success, so they've kept their fans

396
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: I guess well fed. But if you're a Bulls fan,

397
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 4: and even in this case, if you're Denzel and you're

398
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: sticking by the Cowboys, I actually don't think that your

399
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: bandwagon because you've been with him, that long. I think

400
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: that that his argument is trying to fit his reason

401
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: and trying to show how long he's been a fan,

402
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 4: But it just begs the question of if you started

403
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: when they were winning, do you think that they're bandwagon

404
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 4: if they haven't won in a while?

405
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 8: Well, I think right, if you were a bandwagoner at

406
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 8: one point doesn't mean you still are like the Bulls.

407
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 8: Like if you jumped on that bandwagon during Michael Jordan's

408
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 8: prime and you're still there, then I'm going to say

409
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 8: you're no longer a bandwagoner, but that's how your fandom started,

410
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 8: because there is a way where you were that, but

411
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 8: now you stuck by it for whatever reason. Yeah, Bulls

412
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 8: have had a rough, rough couple of years without much success.

413
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: It's been a while for it, yes, and even just.

414
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 8: Even just like making the playoffs and having like a

415
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 8: fun run, they don't even have.

416
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: That, correct.

417
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: You know, you've got Billy Donovan on a contract extension

418
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: now is what you've got.

419
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 8: That's literally and then a bunch of question marks around

420
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 8: the rest of the team.

421
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 4: She's Moncey Bolanios. I'm Dan Byer in for Cavino and

00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: Dissension in the ranks here on Bandwagon Talk on Fox

427
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: Sports Radio, some people don't like what they hear. She's

428
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 4: Moncey belanho. So I'm Dan Byer wondering if Denzel Washington

429
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 4: is a bandwagon fan because he likely started liking the

430
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: Cowboys when they were winning when he was really young.

431
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: To right Man one in thirty years, he says he's

432
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: still a Cowboys fan. Monty says, yes, I say no,

433
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 4: but it all stemmed from looking back. And if you're

434
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: a Bulls fan today, you probably liked them when they

435
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: were winning all those championships. So are you considered bandwagon

436
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 4: when you liked them when they were winning all those times?

437
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 4: It's kind of all this question has evolved as we

438
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: aren't for the guys who were in for Dan Patrick earlier. Today,

439
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 4: Today's show is brought to you by That's Right.

440

Speaker 8: the way tied buying should be.

445
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 4: I don't think a certain fan base that we're going

446
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 4: to talk about is insecure about people being bandwagon. I

447
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: think that they just they need they need numbers, and

448
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 4: they have pride in their misery. Let's go to the

449
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 4: great state of South Dakota. Mike is in South Dakota.

450
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: Welcome to Caveno and Rich Mike.

451
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 11: Thanks for having me on.

452
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: What do you got.

453
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 7: Well?

454
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 14: I was born in sixty five, and I remember the

455
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 14: first Super Bowl the Vikings played in sixty nine, and

456
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 14: it's been heartbreak ever since.

457
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: You were four years old. When you remember that, Mike,

458
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: I do?

459
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 4: I do, Mike, There's no way like your first memories

460
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 4: when you're five at best. I remember I remember watching

461
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: in front of the TV, watching Len Dawson and those

462
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 4: Chiefs run past the Vikings.

463
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,920

00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 14: Since Yeah, I don't believe it or not. I was

473
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 14: six years old and in the Super Bowl, you know,

474
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 14: if i'd sat down from the TV with my mom.

475
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 14: And so for the next few years I only really

476
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 14: watched got us that even know about the Vikings in Chiefs.

477
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 7: And then when the.

478
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 14: Purple People leaders became real big, I've I've been hooked

479
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 14: ever since. And so when I hear about thirty years

480
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 14: to a championship and the poor Bulls and all this,

481
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 14: I'm telling you we got it rough.

482
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, Vikings fans, I feel like Mike and Dan need

483
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 8: to meet somewhere.

484
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we both have you on.

485
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: Mike and Dan, Do you guys like want to get

486
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: together at some point and watch like a Vikings game?

487
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: Hey, Mike and Dan? Can I make them feel even worse?

488
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: Here is a touchdown from Super Bowl four. You want

489
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 3: me to play the real quick Chiefs and the Viking.

490
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: We still have our eight track awesome we do.

491
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 3: The announcer Joe Buck's father, Jack Buck.

492
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 6: Quick snap and the quick pass of Taylor he got

493
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: away from McBee.

494
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 5: He's him five the fifth tee here.

495
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: And of course he remembers that because he was four

496
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 3: years old.

497
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 4: Well, imagine the people who cheered for the Chiefs that

498
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 4: won that game that now are considered bandwagon because Patrick

499
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 4: Mahomes and the Chiefs are so good. Mike and Dan,

500
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: we feel for you as Vikings fans. We know there

501
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: are many like you. You're not like David and Colorado.

502
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: David and Colorado disagrees with the bandwagon statement. Does he

503
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 4: disagree with Manzi or does he disagree with me? David

504
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 4: walked home to Fox Sports Radio.

505
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 11: Well, thank you very much. So I've got two things.

506
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 11: Number One, if you were a Michael Jordan fan back

507
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 11: when he was playing for North Carolina Tar Hills, and

508
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 11: of course your dad is from North Carolina and you

509
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 11: followed Michael Jordan's from North Carolina up to the professional league,

510
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 11: are you a bandwagon fan just because you are a

511
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 11: Michael Jordans fan the first and foremost, that's the point.

512
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 11: But I do have another question, but I'll let you

513
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 11: answer that one.

514
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 8: No, No, you're not a man.

515
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 4: That's lore we're talking about with bands. Yeah, when bands

516
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 4: are small and they become big. It's why when Isaac

517
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: was talking about the Kings, like there's resentment towards all

518
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 4: these new fans, but you wouldn't be considered a Bandwagon

519
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: fan because you liked him way before.

520
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 11: No, and see, so I'm not going to go the

521
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 11: second point, but I'm going to answer.

522
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 7: That right there.

523
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 11: I've got a favorite band there from Athnes, Georgia. They

524
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 11: are not on the top forty. They have not made

525
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 11: the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

526
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 11: and they are are freaking exceptional fan based or fan

527
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 11: based band, and of course they I'm glad they're not

528
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 11: in top forty.

529
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, so you can bigger.

530
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 11: Than alf then you can tell me.

531
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 7: But I do have another one.

532
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 15: So my dad was.

533
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 11: A he live in their first twenty five.

534
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: Sorry if yeah, yeah, Dave, we got to cut you

535
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 4: loose because we got other people that want to want

536
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 4: to chime in on this, so we're gonna let you

537
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: start the weekend early. And I love Dave's passion. I

538
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: think he may have been a Michael Jordan fan. Chris

539
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 4: is in Detroit. This isn't for fet our technical producer

540
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 4: are different? Chris, Who's got it wrong? Chris?

541
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fox Sports Radio.

542
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 7: Hello there, Hello yo, Chris, Hi. This is Moncy and Dan.

543
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 7: You guys do a wonderful job. Then you made a

544
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 7: wonderful I with Monty. First of all, I think you're

545
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 7: you're wrong. With Denzille. I think you remembers I'm in

546
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 7: the same age as Dnzel and actually remember back in

547
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 7: the sixties. I just want to say, hey, Tea may

548
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: have stared the huge members, but from the seventies, as

549
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 7: you guys suggested earlier, he may just remember the years,

550
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 7: you know, from those old quarterbacks and those old linemen.

551
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: And that's all.

552
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 4: Yes, I know I may have been nitpicking, but it

553
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 4: was more of just the fact of I've thought about

554
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: this with the Bulls, and I've thought about this with

555
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 4: the Steelers, and now Denzel is saying it and trying

556
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 4: to prove that he's a Cowboys fan. Sure people don't

557
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 4: believe me when I say I've been a Seahawks fan

558
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 4: since the nineteen eighties. Yeah, no, they'rely nineteen eighties, Like

559
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 4: there's no dreams. I can tell you the bo Jackson

560
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 4: Knight I was in fifth grade. It was awful, like

561
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 4: going to school that next Tuesday in mister Presl's fifth

562
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 4: grade class at Lincoln School. It's stunk because the Seahawks

563
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: are usually awesome on Monday Night football. Then Bo Jackson

564
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 4: ran all over them. It was the only Monday night

565
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 4: game that I could stay up past halftime. My mam

566
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: waill let me watch the Seahawks play. And they were

567
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: actually were pretty good on Monday nights when they would play,

568
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 4: except that night it was awful. Nineteen eighty seven stunk.

569
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 8: If you guys can see a dance face right now,

570
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 8: it's like he's living through it still right.

571
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: Yes, Look, I guarantee they showed the bo Jackson highlight

572
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 4: at least once on one of the TVs we've had

573
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: on during the show, and it happened thirty five years ago.

574
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: So Mark's in Florida. Mark, Welcome to bad Wagon Talk.

575
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 6: I believe.

576
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 16: Thank you so much for taking my call. I believe Denzel.

577
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 15: I was.

578
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 16: I was born in fifty eight. Nineteen fifty eight, I

579
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 16: was about seven years old, and so nineteen sixty five

580
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 16: is I was.

581
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 15: Born in Texas.

582
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 16: When I was seven years old, I became a Cowboys fan.

583
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 16: I became aware.

584
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 14: Of the NFL. Blah blah blah.

585
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 12: I just I believe Dunzel.

586
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 16: Maybe he you were born in Texas.

587
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Mark.

588
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: That's the point, though, is like you have a reason

589
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: to like the Cowboys because they're your area team or

590
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 4: your state team. The Cowboys weren't the Cowboys until the

591
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 4: nineteen seventies. There's no reason for Denzel when he's thirteen

592
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: years old in nineteen sixty at Olives and fall in

593
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: love with the Cowboys because TV was not what it

594
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 4: was today. So I have no doubt that he's been

595
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 4: a TV fan that long. I just think that some

596
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: of the details are a little sketchy. I appreciate Mark,

597
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: and I think Mark, you're Scott Free, You're absolutely good.

598
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 4: We're gonna wrap this up with Bill in Pennsylvania. Then

599
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: we got Isaac with the latest of what's happening today. Bill,

600
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: you got an appropriate name.

601
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I think I do.

602
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 15: I am a diar Red since fan. I'm sorry, Commander's

603
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 15: fan against you should have to say now. I went

604
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 15: to my first game as seventy two with my grandfather

605
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 15: and my dad and my brother, and I was also

606
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 15: in Dallas, Texas in September when it was brutally hot

607
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 15: and watched Brunel throw those bombs to Santana.

608
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: Most sure you stuck.

609
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 15: I loved listen. I have I have friends that are

610
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 15: big Cowboys fans. I love, love the rivalry, and you know,

611
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 15: I mean we you know, we keep it friendly. Yeah,

612
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 15: but you know, I mean I've been the Skins. I

613
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 15: had season tickets for two twenty years after.

614
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 10: Adam since the fourth.

615
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 4: Sure, no, and no one is questioning Bill's fandom when

616
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 4: you've liked the team for that long. The Commanders then

617
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 4: for the eighties and nineties, won three Super Bowls during

618
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: that span, went to another one in the nineteen seventies.

619
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 4: But it wasn't it wasn't a full like dominance of

620
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: football run. So I can I could see why a

621
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 4: Commander's fan, you know, to this day wouldn't necessarily be

622
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 4: considered band wagon.

623
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 8: Well, not every team can be considered a team that

624
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 8: you can be a band wagon fantis. Not every team

625
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 8: has that, you know what, You're right, Yeah, the Wizards.

626
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 8: Wizards don't have bandwagon fans in the NBA. Like if

627
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 8: you were a fan of Michael, you were just a

628
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 8: fan of Michael, but you didn't stay watching the Wizards.

629
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the funny thing is is Jason not

630
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 4: to throw you under the bus. But the reason we

631
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 4: thought his name was appropriate because it said Bill's fan

632
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: and his name was Bill.

633
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: So I thought, awesome, this is exactly what you were talking.

634
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 4: And then he goes, I'm a fan of the Commanders,

635
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 4: and I thought, oh, but I do think that the

636
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 4: Bills without Winning are becoming a lot more popular now

637
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: and people may jump on their bandwagon.

638
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 8: Bill's mafia is growing, whether it's because of Josh Allen

639
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 8: or Hailey Steinfeld or other reasons.

640
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 4: Jason, did you know that he was a Commander's fan

641
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: and it was Bill's fan in the in the bank.

642
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 9: It's almost like you, You guys have a call screener

643
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 9: today that has like half one function in here. Call

644
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 9: screening to me is like uh dan trying to dunk

645
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 9: a basketball.

646
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 4: Which I almost could when I was in high school.

647
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 4: Those are a long, long, long time ago, but I digress.

648
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 4: Isaac Lohankron is here with the latest. I could dunk

649
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: a tennis ball that was very easy.

650
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 8: But I was like, you can actually touch the rim,

651
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 8: like jump and touch the rim.

652
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: I could get this on the road, okay.

653
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 4: Vince Carter, Vince Carter, it was a long time ago,

654
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: long time ago.

677
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 4: this run that no one had ever expected. All Right,

678
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 4: the Atlanta Braves used to be a laughing stock, and

679
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: then they have all these young players and next thing

680
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 4: you know, they're first in the NL West. They go

681
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: to the World Series, lose in a heartbreaking fashion to

682
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 4: the Minnesota Twins. I was fourteen at the time. That

683
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: is like prime bandwagon era, prime jumping on the bandwagon era.

684
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 4: I have an authentic Atlanta Braves Dave Justice Jersey nice

685
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: because I like the Braves at that time. The story

686
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 4: that I just am going to say is I think

687
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: so many people did to try to justify them being

688
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 4: a fan, which is why I think, like Denzel is

689
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 4: saying what he's saying, I feel, if you feel confident

690
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 4: enough of your fandom, you shouldn't have to try to

691
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: complete a case for it. But I would always say,

692
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 4: and I think Chris knows, and Jason knows, and Isaac knows,

693
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: and Mancy you may know, but I would always say, Hey,

694
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 4: I always used to watch them on TBS. They were

695
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 4: always on TBS. So I've always been a Braves fan.

696
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 4: Like that was your like out, like you really follow

697
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 4: them when you didn't, but that was your way of

698
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 4: trying to justify, justify the reason why now in nineteen

699
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 4: ninety one, you've become an Atlanta Braves fan when they

700
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 4: went all the way to the World Series. It's just

701
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 4: when the year before they won sixty five games like that, Jason,

702
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 4: you heard that one before like I watched them on

703
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 4: TBS all the time, Superstation.

704
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 9: I want to say I've seen it recently, And then

705
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 9: I was thinking, the reason why we have seen it

706
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 9: recently is because after Ryan Samberg had passed, that was

707
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 9: a common refrain on Twitter. I grew up watching WGN

708
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 9: baseball in the eighties and and watching TBS with the Braves,

709
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 9: so it was a thing in our childhood. That doesn't

710
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 9: mean all of us became fans of the team, No,

711
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 9: that just gave it right. It gave us a way

712
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 9: to watch Major League Baseball every day, and that that

713
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 9: was the way of the for the fans to say like, hey, look, look,

714
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 9: oh what have you been a Brace fan?

715
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 15: Oh?

716
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: Only since I've watched them all the time on TVs,

717
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 4: then you really couldn't argue. But I feel that so

718
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 4: many fans were lying when they were saying that. Absolutely

719
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: Lakers fans, they seem to win always. But still there's

720
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 4: a bandwagon for them. Lakers are gonna put a statue

721
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 4: of pat Riley out in front of her.

722
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 8: Can we make it good? Can we just at least

723
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 8: make a good statue? They're all so not and we

724
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 8: spend not We people spend hundreds of thousands of hours

725
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 8: on them.

726
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 13: At least make it good.

727
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 8: They're running out of space.

728
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that pat Riley doesn't deserve a statue.

729
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 4: I just feel that there are so many statues somebody

730
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 4: that are outside of Crypto and formerly Staples. So at

731
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 4: what point do you draw a line. Kareem's got one,

732
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: Kobe's got two, Kobe's got three, Magic Scott one, Shack's

733
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 4: got one, Jerry West, Eligend Baylor, Wayne Gretzky, Luke Robatai,

734
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 4: Oscar de la Hoya, Like it's just gonna be all

735
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 4: statues at some point.

736
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 8: Phil Jackson next, he probably should Next.

737
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: Monzi's going to be next up on Sunday, So am I,

738
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 4: we'll talk to you then Friday
