Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Calls with Dean Blandino, a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. All Right, what's up? Dean Blandino, Welcome
Speaker 1: to another episode of Good Calls. Next to me in
Speaker 1: the house, Travis Hansen, what's up? What's up? He have
Speaker 1: two two children? Travis, he had a he had a line.
Speaker 1: What was the line? Travis, babies are cool, but I'm
Speaker 1: like not having it anymore. What was it? I don't remember.
Speaker 1: I'm just tired. I can't remember, you know, I just
Speaker 1: I got to get that out there, you know, because
Speaker 1: you guys put me it's okay, Travis. You can say
Speaker 1: it's okay. Your wife's not gonna listening. Oh my god, No,
Speaker 1: I think she feels the same way. We don't want
Speaker 1: to hope. Basically, Travis, he's ecstatic over the moon that
Speaker 1: that he has a child, another baby, um, but he's
Speaker 1: over the sleepless nights. It's it's because for most people
Speaker 1: are at this point. And then, speaking of sleepless nights,
Speaker 1: Joe Madrid back from where where in the world is
Speaker 1: Joe Madrid been? Where I was in Vegas for the
Speaker 1: fights this weekend? Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: the fights. How was Vegas like, how I haven't been
Speaker 1: in in almost a year. How this is awesome? It's very,
Speaker 1: very very crowded this this weekend. This was a big
Speaker 1: This is a big fight week huge, so huge weekend.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine thinking about Vegas, what the most crowded
Speaker 1: weekends in Vegas have to be when there's a big
Speaker 1: I still think I think the UFC is probably surpassed
Speaker 1: boxing in terms of like more volume. But I still
Speaker 1: think a big boxing match out does UFC like pound
Speaker 1: for pound, the big boxing matches still like the go
Speaker 1: to event, I think, and I think this was like
Speaker 1: the fight of our generation at this point. Okay, well
Speaker 1: there hasn't been good. Like what I say, I'm just
Speaker 1: very it's very disappointing to me for for even that
Speaker 1: to be a consideration. Well, let's jump right into it. Tyson, Fury,
Speaker 1: Deontay Wilder too. To say that because this was my takeaway,
Speaker 1: to say that this is the fight of our generation
Speaker 1: is sad, because I honestly I was watching so they
Speaker 1: honored like past champions at the fight, and holy Field
Speaker 1: and Tyson obviously. Lennox Lewis Um commented the fight and
Speaker 1: whether it's Ali Foreman, Fraser holy Field, Larry Holmes. Honestly,
Speaker 1: in my mind and I want to sound like the
Speaker 1: krusty old guy, but they would. They would eat either
Speaker 1: one of these guys for breakfast for breakfast. Like Deontay Wilder.
Speaker 1: While he has he has ridiculous knockout power, he's not
Speaker 1: a great boxer. Like he's not technically. I don't know
Speaker 1: what was going on with him during the fight, but
Speaker 1: he was looked something was wrong. He took the big
Speaker 1: shot right behind the ear that knocked him down. I
Speaker 1: think that was at the third round um and he
Speaker 1: after that he looked it looked like one of those
Speaker 1: videos when you see the drunk guy that's getting beat
Speaker 1: up that keeps getting up and like and he but
Speaker 1: he can't stand straight. And he kept and Fury, who
Speaker 1: is a pretty good boxer technically and and boxed really
Speaker 1: well in the first fight, but that was not his
Speaker 1: approach in this fight. His approach was he put on
Speaker 1: massive weight. He went to two seventy three at the
Speaker 1: way in, and you know he's probably bigger by the
Speaker 1: time he stepped into the ring and just mauled him.
Speaker 1: That was the approach. He mauled him it was ugly.
Speaker 1: It was it was effective, but it was not a pretty,
Speaker 1: like aesthetically pleasing fight. Too big and kind of loppy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just did not have when I remember, I mean
Speaker 1: I remember like like even like holy Field Riddick Bow,
Speaker 1: like those fights or like the exchanges that were un
Speaker 1: you know for heavyweight fighters who are typically not like
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the more technical fighters are going to
Speaker 1: be at the lower weight classes. But if those guys,
Speaker 1: man Tyson was such a like technically sound and I
Speaker 1: just felt like watching and I'm going, this is the
Speaker 1: best we've got in the heavyweight division. This is the
Speaker 1: best we haven't I know. All props to Fury. He
Speaker 1: did what he did what he said he was gonna do.
Speaker 1: He mauled him, he went on the attack. He didn't
Speaker 1: he wasn't fighting defensively and uh and he just took
Speaker 1: it to him. I mean, it was just from I
Speaker 1: think personally, and it's it's it's amazing when you know,
Speaker 1: I talked to um good friends with Mark Rattner, who
Speaker 1: was the you know, Mark was the was the Nevada
Speaker 1: sty that athletic commissioner for a long time and did
Speaker 1: so many I mean so many big boxing matches in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Now he he works, you know, he's with
Speaker 1: the UFC in government and affairs and was was key
Speaker 1: in getting um, you know, the UFC and and m
Speaker 1: m A regulated in many states, particularly New York. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I remember talking to him about just the the
Speaker 1: inequity UM. I think Kenny bayless Is is one of
Speaker 1: the better referees, probably the best referee out there right now.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he made for the fight,
Speaker 1: but when you think about the purses of the two
Speaker 1: fighters and then the third person in the ring, like
Speaker 1: I guarantee you Kenny Bailies didn't make more than probably
Speaker 1: maybe fifty to seventy tho dollars for that fight. And
Speaker 1: he was working his ass off because he literally had
Speaker 1: to break them up because Fury was, like I said,
Speaker 1: mauling um Wilder, and he had to work his ass
Speaker 1: off to get them. And he actually took a point
Speaker 1: away um from Fury, not that it mattered, but he
Speaker 1: took a point away for holding, which I wish, you know,
Speaker 1: had Kenny bayliss, you know, and he was probably too
Speaker 1: young at the time to be the referee. If he
Speaker 1: had been the referee for haggler Leonard instead of Richard Steele,
Speaker 1: you know how Leonard holding instead of I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: worked up because I'm still upset about that decision. Richard
Speaker 1: Steele warned Leonard for holding like eighties three times in
Speaker 1: that fight, holding and hitting and never took a point away.
Speaker 1: And it was the most ridiculous scoring number one eighteen
Speaker 1: one E leven Joe Joe Garris scored the fight for Leonard,
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. But anyway, I digress Um worked his
Speaker 1: ass off really Fury just But the thing that I
Speaker 1: want to talk about is what the the entrances, Like
Speaker 1: I haven't seen two entrances like that in the same fight, Like,
Speaker 1: what were the odds that the fight was gonna last?
Speaker 1: Was gonna be shorter than the two inches? The two
Speaker 1: ring entrances it was I'm not exaggerate, I'm not exaggerated.
Speaker 1: It felt like a legit ten to twelve minutes each,
Speaker 1: like it was insane, like it was in it was forever.
Speaker 1: Was like Fury came in on a on a throne?
Speaker 1: Was that like him? Was that like an Apollo Creed?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it was. It was weird and
Speaker 1: the other while they're like, he does the mask thing,
Speaker 1: and then he had a rapper rap and it was
Speaker 1: an o to like February Black History Month, and it
Speaker 1: was an od to to Black history and and great, um,
Speaker 1: you know people in black history. But it was just
Speaker 1: so long, like it was, can we get a Travis?
Speaker 1: Can you like? How long was the entrances? Let me look,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the fury came in on like this throne.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah nice. It was insane. And then you know what,
Speaker 1: these entrances made me really miss pride. Mike Tyson. Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson a sweat, cut off sweater, black shorts, nothing fancy,
Speaker 1: just came in. It was just like that kind of
Speaker 1: cut off sweat sure and just came in. He didn't.
Speaker 1: He was ridiculous, he you know, and he was very
Speaker 1: like very low, like you know black. You know, the trunks,
Speaker 1: nothing with the trunks, black trunks, black shoes, gloves, nothing fancy.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, I wore a short sleeve hooded
Speaker 1: sweatshirt to the fight in honor of it was it
Speaker 1: was it was Hugo Boss, but it was kind of
Speaker 1: a similar similar yeah you know, of course you boss,
Speaker 1: similar concept there. And then so the fight ends, and
Speaker 1: I thought, and it was interesting case Travis, you know,
Speaker 1: watched the fight. And I love when Travis watches something.
Speaker 1: He is so excited when it's something that you don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna watch, but you want him to watch.
Speaker 1: He's like a little kid that did something like his
Speaker 1: trying that. Yeah, that's exactly what he was today. Joe.
Speaker 1: He was like, I watched the fight the first thing.
Speaker 1: I watched the fight last night, and I was like,
Speaker 1: and I'm like ignoring him. He's like, so I watched
Speaker 1: the fight. Come. I was like, do you want to
Speaker 1: talk about it, Travis? What do you want to talk about?
Speaker 1: And but he, you know, even Travis said, did you
Speaker 1: like the stoppage? And I was like, no, that the
Speaker 1: referee didn't stop the fight. The corner through in the
Speaker 1: towel And when you watch it initially like you're kind
Speaker 1: of confused because he's on the ropes and he's taking shots,
Speaker 1: but it didn't look like the referee was gonna step
Speaker 1: in right at that moment. But obviously he saw he
Speaker 1: saw wild there's um, you know, corner throw in the
Speaker 1: towel and that's you know, I give them credit because
Speaker 1: he was not going to win that fight, and he
Speaker 1: looked whatever was wrong with him, Um, he was gonna
Speaker 1: take he was gonna take an additional you know, punishment,
Speaker 1: and it was would have been just unnecessary. And I
Speaker 1: just don't think. I don't think the one punch knockout
Speaker 1: comeback was was in the cards. And uh, and I
Speaker 1: gave you know, I gave the corner credit Mark Breeland
Speaker 1: and and and that group um credit for for throwing
Speaker 1: in the towel. But then the fight ends, and can
Speaker 1: you joke? Can you get off your phone? It's very distracting.
Speaker 1: It's very just texting, like stop are you swiping right? Stop?
Speaker 1: Get off the phone, Travis focus, let's go all right,
Speaker 1: I've been very okay. I can't find how long the entrance,
Speaker 1: but I did find the salary or or what five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. There was a couple of funny moments in
Speaker 1: there when he was like trying, he was going to
Speaker 1: break he he is the he's the most important person
Speaker 1: at times in that in that ring. And twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and these guys are making how much? How
Speaker 1: many millions? I heard that? Um, it's insane. Here he
Speaker 1: donated his whole purse nine mill to who who homeless.
Speaker 1: That's pretty impressive. Good for him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's true. I just saw this is a guy that
Speaker 1: I mean, Fury is an interesting person. I mean he
Speaker 1: went you know, he he beat right, he beat Vladimir Klitchko,
Speaker 1: and then and then he went basically on a hiatus
Speaker 1: for three years substance abuse. He dealt with depression, and
Speaker 1: he's been very open about it about some people. He
Speaker 1: ballooned up. Yeah, it was just bad. And then obviously
Speaker 1: came back and uh, and it's a great story. But
Speaker 1: but then I mean he I I really liked the
Speaker 1: guy because then he wins and then he has a
Speaker 1: karaoke session and what was the American Pie by Don McClain,
Speaker 1: and and he like, I don't know the meaning the
Speaker 1: reason behind it, like I but but everybody was singing
Speaker 1: with him, like his fans. But I like when he
Speaker 1: went into the second verse, I was like, he's gonna
Speaker 1: sing the whole song, like he is, legit, gonna sing
Speaker 1: the whole song like this is insane um, But you
Speaker 1: know it was I'll give it you this one. It
Speaker 1: was for for the lack of of how you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was a great fight. It was
Speaker 1: was it wasn't. It was entertaining, like the entire thing
Speaker 1: was entertaining from the ring entrances to him. I thought
Speaker 1: Wilder was very gracious and defeat and uh and so
Speaker 1: you know, and it's gonna be interesting to see what
Speaker 1: happens because the there's a rematch clause. The loser thirty
Speaker 1: days to enact the rematch clause. And I think, to me,
Speaker 1: I don't think because I thought Fury won the first
Speaker 1: fight and and it ended up in the draw. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the drama of the knockdown in the last round, of
Speaker 1: Fury getting up. But I think the better fight right
Speaker 1: now is Joshua. I think that's the better fight to make.
Speaker 1: But obviously Wilder. If I'm Wilder, I want the rematch.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's money in in the I just
Speaker 1: don't think he has a shot. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: just shot either, because if you think about nineteen rounds,
Speaker 1: he maybe won four. I mean he made the first fight.
Speaker 1: In the first fight, a slimmer, slim down Fury outboxed him,
Speaker 1: and in this fight, the bigger Fury just malled him.
Speaker 1: I think this is the blueprint. I don't know what,
Speaker 1: and Deonte came in. I thinks heavier than that. I
Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't don't know what Wilder. I
Speaker 1: don't know what Wilder could do differently to make up
Speaker 1: that that difference. Like I just think he I don't
Speaker 1: think he has Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think obviously, I would imagine he's gonna enact the
Speaker 1: rematch clause because there's big money to be made. Um,
Speaker 1: he loses that fight, then hopefully we get Joshua and
Speaker 1: Fury and then But I still think I'm so upset
Speaker 1: with myself for that. I put money on Wilder in
Speaker 1: Vegas and it wasn't a big favorite, but he was
Speaker 1: pretty I mean, not not huge, but I watched the
Speaker 1: whole fight one on the way and I was like,
Speaker 1: this dude's out classing him and I just got sold
Speaker 1: by every everybody was on him. Everybody was like, he's
Speaker 1: gonna knommize. We had that one that that That's the
Speaker 1: whole thing with Wilder is that you you know, could
Speaker 1: can you stay with him for twelve rounds and not
Speaker 1: get caught with that one shot? But it didn't even
Speaker 1: look like, I mean, he did he he landed one
Speaker 1: or two right hands, but he just it just didn't
Speaker 1: look like he had it last night. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's very robotic as a big right left hook, and
Speaker 1: if you could just dodge those two, yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: what's kind of thing. You know? He look at he
Speaker 1: looked at his wreck. I mean even in the fight
Speaker 1: against Louis ortiz Is last fight, he was losing that
Speaker 1: fight and he ended up knocking him out. But um,
Speaker 1: I just don't you know that's again, I just I
Speaker 1: just missed the heavyweights I didn't grow up with. Really,
Speaker 1: I was too young for Ali and Fraser, but I've
Speaker 1: obviously followed it and watched since then. But I mean
Speaker 1: Larry Holmes and and Ken Norton and Tyson and holy
Speaker 1: feel like, did you did you know that Tyson you
Speaker 1: set hypnotizes before the fights. I got that on Rogan today,
Speaker 1: like hypnotized by like what was his custom? Yeah, he'd
Speaker 1: hypnotize him like from when he was a kid. He'd
Speaker 1: hypnotized Tyson. Well that was the crazy to Tyson. And
Speaker 1: I watched the thirty thirty on you know, the forty
Speaker 1: two one buster doug Us and that was interesting because
Speaker 1: I mean that really the custom motto dying was the
Speaker 1: that was the turning point. Well, and that's what Rogan
Speaker 1: was saying, is that he couldn't hypnotize him anymore. But
Speaker 1: it's just like that was he was his father figure,
Speaker 1: he was everything. When he died, it was like Tyson.
Speaker 1: Then then there was other people around him. He didn't
Speaker 1: have that direction. And and then that Buster Douglas fight,
Speaker 1: Like you watched the thirty for thirty, God, I wish
Speaker 1: I wish you could have. I would have known what
Speaker 1: going into the fight, because I would have put all
Speaker 1: my money on Douglas, like knowing what was happening with
Speaker 1: Tyson going in and how Douglas was like his mom
Speaker 1: had just died, how focused he was, and how he
Speaker 1: was like he was so confident and you know, and
Speaker 1: Tyson was just like everything with Robin gives and everything
Speaker 1: just seemed to be crumbling around him. And uh, and
Speaker 1: it was funny Witless talking. They were talking to the oddsmakers.
Speaker 1: They and they started the fight. I think at one
Speaker 1: they couldn't get anybody to bet on Douglas, and it
Speaker 1: kept going up to finally at forty two to one,
Speaker 1: they started getting some some bets on Douglas and uh
Speaker 1: but it's insane, like it's crazy. You should listen to
Speaker 1: that Rogan the Fight Companion. Yesterday, Brian Collen was on
Speaker 1: there talking about watching fights at Slie House, and he
Speaker 1: was name dropping, I've watched fight, I've watched the fight.
Speaker 1: I have watched to fight at slice House, by the way,
Speaker 1: and I'm not invited to slide because I watched Rocky
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Oh here's another one. There is another one,
Speaker 1: the first one, and I definitely hadn't seen it before.
Speaker 1: Did you cry? I didn't cry, maybe about how bad
Speaker 1: the acting was, but overall, you're definitely not ever coming.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I am?
Speaker 1: I am? I So how Oscar winning movie? You know?
Speaker 1: I guess I was messing with you. I didn't say
Speaker 1: that yesterday when I told you about it. I've never
Speaker 1: seen him. He's about to come over. No, continue now,
Speaker 1: I did. I thought it was good but not great.
Speaker 1: I mean, what am I I know? Not good? Not?
Speaker 1: It was good? Not great? Yeah, I mean I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not chomping watch the next one? Three and four?
Speaker 1: And I don't know it's just but if Napoleon comes out,
Speaker 1: I'm first in line. You beat me? Na oh, do
Speaker 1: you know what, Travis, don't even don't stop. Don't even
Speaker 1: watch any more Rockies because I don't want you. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that I will. But I did tell you,
Speaker 1: like my I liked over the Top. His favorite stone
Speaker 1: is over the top. Rabbit was cool too, But I'm
Speaker 1: just not under that violence like that in boxing. It's
Speaker 1: not I'm just glad it wasn't. I didn't see Cobra.
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, on the top was ridiculous. Lincoln howg
Speaker 1: the fact that he had the arm work out in
Speaker 1: his truck that he could just pull down out on,
Speaker 1: so he was always ready. The guys a truck driver,
Speaker 1: he was. He was a single father, and but he
Speaker 1: made money by like hustling dudes in arm wrestling. Does
Speaker 1: the ESPN, the OO still do arm wrestling competitions. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put one of those. Yeah, there we go. Now
Speaker 1: we're talking Tesla, alright, right now we're gears. Let's let's
Speaker 1: switch gears. The other crazy thing that happened. And I
Speaker 1: really feel like this got overshadowed by the fight, because
Speaker 1: I think this is the quirkiest rule in all of sports.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a rules guy, but I believe,
Speaker 1: like there's some crazy rules out there. But this is
Speaker 1: the quirkiest rule in all of the sports. The emergency
Speaker 1: goalie in NHL in the hockey. Joe doesn't even know
Speaker 1: what it is. He's looking at me like he's crazy. Emergency. Wait,
Speaker 1: so Joe, here's the rule. Okay, each team, each hockey
Speaker 1: can carries two goalies. You have a starter and your backup.
Speaker 1: Right every arena, there's an immerged agency goalie. It's like
Speaker 1: the automatic quarterback. Okay, the emergency goalie is specific to
Speaker 1: that arena. If a team loses both of their goalies,
Speaker 1: then that emergency goalie goes in for either team, for
Speaker 1: either team, Yes, for either team. So I could be
Speaker 1: a king, but I have to go be the goal
Speaker 1: So this, wait, is what happened. Wait, it happened like
Speaker 1: it's happened before, but this has been I think this
Speaker 1: is the most I think this is the most important
Speaker 1: one for several reasons. Okay, So, so David Airs, he's
Speaker 1: the he's the emergency goalie in Toronto. Okay, he's the
Speaker 1: Zamboni driver and he's like there, he's a practice goalie
Speaker 1: for the Maple Leafs. He's forty two. At one point
Speaker 1: he played for the Marli which league, right, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I so I pulled up his his his career record
Speaker 1: for I saw wait wait wait for the Marley Okay.
Speaker 1: So he allowed fifty eight goals. He had a seven
Speaker 1: seven seven safe percentage, which is not good. And he
Speaker 1: had an eight record. Okay, records. So you know, like
Speaker 1: most most goal is you've you've got to be in
Speaker 1: like eight or above, Like even eight is not great.
Speaker 1: So so he the Marys, which is Toronto's h A
Speaker 1: h L team. So he's the third emergency goalie to
Speaker 1: play in the modern era. But what what's what's important
Speaker 1: is that So he goes in the game for the Hurricanes,
Speaker 1: the other team. Okay, he gives up. He gives up
Speaker 1: two goals on the first two shots. All right, then wait,
Speaker 1: so then they go into He comes in in the
Speaker 1: second period. He plays twenty eight minutes and forty one seconds,
Speaker 1: which is by far the longest emergency goalie has ever played,
Speaker 1: gives up two goals on the first shots, goes into
Speaker 1: the third period and shuts them out in the third
Speaker 1: period and they win in the game. They're like both
Speaker 1: these teams are like fighting for playoffs. And so he's
Speaker 1: he's basically a Toronto Maple Leafs employee and he's in
Speaker 1: he's in the Hurricanes locker room getting like crazy cheer.
Speaker 1: The it's in Toronto fans forty two years old. It's
Speaker 1: it's the craziest thing. Like I don't think people really,
Speaker 1: I'm just it's like, so, so now what I want
Speaker 1: to do is, let's try to figure out the equivalent
Speaker 1: in other sports, like in the n a F and
Speaker 1: the NFL, what would be the equivalent. It's like it's
Speaker 1: like the it's like, say the kicker, right, like the kicker,
Speaker 1: the emergency kicker, who is like he's like he's thrown around.
Speaker 1: He works. Yeah, he's like a concessions guy. But he's
Speaker 1: the emergency kicker and he's here like he's in l
Speaker 1: a and he's the emergency kicker for both teams to
Speaker 1: pay treats. Kicker gets there, all their kickers get injured
Speaker 1: and he has to kick the game winning field goal
Speaker 1: against against the Rams and and that's gonna mean the
Speaker 1: playoff playoffs spot like yeah, like it's so crazy that
Speaker 1: the NHL doesn't have like a team can carry. The
Speaker 1: NFL used to have a third quarterback rule, whereas if
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks went down, you had a third quarterback. It
Speaker 1: was an additional roster. It was an additional UM player
Speaker 1: on the on the um, you know, you have a
Speaker 1: forty forty player roster that could that were active. This
Speaker 1: was a forty six player um. But there were rules
Speaker 1: like if the third quarterback went into the game in
Speaker 1: the first three quarters, the other two couldn't go back
Speaker 1: until the fourth. So it kind of allowed for you know,
Speaker 1: didn't allow for manipulation, but it but it prevented, you know,
Speaker 1: a team being screwed having two of their quarterbacks hurt.
Speaker 1: But each team had one. It wasn't the guy that
Speaker 1: lived that was in the stadium. That was just efft
Speaker 1: to that stadium. So I have so the most important question,
Speaker 1: who drove the Zamboni third quarter, third period? I think
Speaker 1: I was because he had That's like a dream come
Speaker 1: true for that didn't imagine like he's in he's in
Speaker 1: the locker room and they're like David, where's Dave? Like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, Dave went in the game, like he's played,
Speaker 1: but who's gonna dude, wait, get those pads off. We
Speaker 1: need somebody. Somebody's got to drive and has been drinking.
Speaker 1: There was the one guy, like the one guy that
Speaker 1: always dreamt the dream of the Zambonie. This was his
Speaker 1: moment he like jumped in or is it like a
Speaker 1: like Layers. There's now the concession guy, the guy that
Speaker 1: sells popcorn. I don't know, but that's it's everybody. What's
Speaker 1: that medium between the two teams, Like, hey, yeah, so
Speaker 1: we got this guy Dave. You know, he played for
Speaker 1: the Marley's at one point, like his career got derailed
Speaker 1: because he had like he didn't yeah, he had a
Speaker 1: he had a kidney transplant. Like this guy, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: They have to do a documentary something. I hope they
Speaker 1: miss something because it's in and he'd be the most
Speaker 1: hated man in Toronto at that point. It's so good,
Speaker 1: Like it's so good that this rule exists. It's so
Speaker 1: good that this happened. That is I just think it's
Speaker 1: it's awesome, like it's it's just awesome. But anyway, let's
Speaker 1: let's take a break. We come back, well, let's go
Speaker 1: back to football. Let's do a little XFL Week three
Speaker 1: recap and then we'll talk NFL rule C, B A,
Speaker 1: what's going on in the off season? Next on Good Calls.
Speaker 1: All right, we're back XFL week three. I've I feel good.
Speaker 1: I feel like Week three we've got a pretty good
Speaker 1: I idea of where everybody is like where from from
Speaker 1: a team perspective, I thought the games were the games
Speaker 1: are really good. UM games Saturday, we're we're closer. Um
Speaker 1: Sunday not as close, but some surprises. I think I
Speaker 1: think you look at Houston three and now, um, had
Speaker 1: a had a really a good game with Tampa went
Speaker 1: down what I think the final was, Um, they kind
Speaker 1: of went back and forth. Tampa finally scored some points.
Speaker 1: They have been moving the ball really well, but hadn't
Speaker 1: been putting it in the end zone. Um, then you had,
Speaker 1: Uh the St. Louis looks good. St Louis, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think they they played New York on Sunday. That
Speaker 1: was If I'm if I'm if I'm putting together a
Speaker 1: professional sports league. There's a cop pup of markets, a
Speaker 1: couple of cities that I'm putting teams in, and St.
Speaker 1: Louis's one. They were star for football. They have been
Speaker 1: staring from football. I think they had thirty thousand at
Speaker 1: the game, um at the Dome, and and what a
Speaker 1: great environment. Some of the fans there was some pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Like one of the things I saw. I don't know
Speaker 1: if these guys made them or what, but they were
Speaker 1: because they're the battle Hawks. So they had wings and
Speaker 1: they had like strings and the wings that you pull
Speaker 1: in the wings flap and they were like like the
Speaker 1: battle Hawk. It was really cool. The other thing is
Speaker 1: I think what there were a lot of fans there
Speaker 1: that were just like, didn't really pay that much attention
Speaker 1: to the type of bird that they were being because
Speaker 1: I think they just went with it's a big It
Speaker 1: was just so there was eagles, there was other types
Speaker 1: of cardinals. There's other types of birds, but they weren't
Speaker 1: all hawks. But it's fine. The first home game. And
Speaker 1: how about the little girl. She she said she tried
Speaker 1: for cookies and so she got a football. So good play.
Speaker 1: I heard. I heard McMahon went on NPR and they
Speaker 1: asked him about Kaepernick coming to the league, and he
Speaker 1: kind of skirted the question, did you hear about that?
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. Now I just know, well, I
Speaker 1: know that. I just know that the contract from what
Speaker 1: I've heard, and it was the same with the the
Speaker 1: a F and last year in the spring, that the
Speaker 1: the contract, what what he's asking for financially is just
Speaker 1: not something that these leagues are either can or willing
Speaker 1: to pay. That's what he said. He basically said he
Speaker 1: can't afford it. And then yeah, NPR guy gave him
Speaker 1: a little bit of heat about, oh, you can't afford
Speaker 1: to pay the best players, blah blah blah. Well, it's
Speaker 1: just I think there's I think it's different. I think
Speaker 1: you have you have a scale of of of salaries
Speaker 1: that you're paying players, and I know, look, hey they're
Speaker 1: doing you know, when teams win, they get an extra
Speaker 1: hundred grand to split, um, so that's that they're not skimping. Um.
Speaker 1: I just think I don't think if I'm Colin Kaepernick,
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same thing. I'm to ask for an
Speaker 1: exorbitant amount of money because it doesn't If I it
Speaker 1: doesn't if I go to the XFL and and and suck,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not good. That that's not gonna be
Speaker 1: Someone has to be something. Yeah, it would have to
Speaker 1: be something. You know, I'm not gonna do it for
Speaker 1: for chump change. So but I just think the play
Speaker 1: is getting better. On the officiating side, I think the
Speaker 1: officials are getting more comfortable and uh and I think
Speaker 1: we're starting to see, like, you know, which teams are
Speaker 1: really Obviously Houston's undefeated, UM St. Louis looked really good
Speaker 1: and and you know they're they're two in one, you know,
Speaker 1: like Dallas is hitting their stratas and Jones played well.
Speaker 1: Um l a Is surprised me. We were all talking
Speaker 1: about d C. They were two and oh they were
Speaker 1: really impressive in their first two games and l A
Speaker 1: really just put it on and on Sunday, you know,
Speaker 1: the first week, Yeah, exactly. And and so the quarterback
Speaker 1: play can can continue to improve. I think we're gonna see,
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're gonna see even better football.
Speaker 1: I like where the officials are. You know, they're just
Speaker 1: again just getting you know, cohesiveness as a crew. There's
Speaker 1: been some really cool you know, you get that look
Speaker 1: into the replay booth and you can hear and listen
Speaker 1: what's going on. We had some really good examples of that,
Speaker 1: especially in that in that uh that l A UM
Speaker 1: d C games. So you know, I'm excited about you know,
Speaker 1: where where it is and and and where it can go,
Speaker 1: you know, going forward there. Uh. You know, as we
Speaker 1: talk about the we had our first kickoff return for
Speaker 1: touchdown and again play it's a great It was like
Speaker 1: it was like a reverse backward pass and uh. And
Speaker 1: you know, I think the kick return over XFL kickoffs
Speaker 1: are getting returned when you compare that to the NFL.
Speaker 1: UM the NFL last year, the touchback rate is is
Speaker 1: you know, almost sixties six, you know, you know, probably higher.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, as we talk about the
Speaker 1: NFL and rules and things like that, they're going into
Speaker 1: the NFL is going into their rules making UM process.
Speaker 1: And so what's happening in Indianapolis this week is leading
Speaker 1: up to the combine. The Competition Committee will meet UM.
Speaker 1: Their their meeting. They start Sunday, they go through Tuesday
Speaker 1: or Wednesday, and they're gonna start to talk about potential
Speaker 1: rules changes. And one of the things you know they'll
Speaker 1: look at is, you know, the kickoff and do we
Speaker 1: need to make any changes to the kickoff. They'll have
Speaker 1: they'll have their their their health and safety group, their
Speaker 1: medical staffs come in present the data on injuries and
Speaker 1: all injuries had neck injuries, concussions, lower lower extremity, everything,
Speaker 1: and the committee will will go through that look for trends,
Speaker 1: um things that maybe you know, are we seeing injuries
Speaker 1: in certain areas where we can we can correct it
Speaker 1: with a rule change. And so that's that's taking place
Speaker 1: over the next couple of days, um and uh, and
Speaker 1: then that will lead to the league meeting, which takes
Speaker 1: place and towards the end of March. Um. Really the
Speaker 1: other thing that's happening is the c b A, and
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of discussion about the c b A.
Speaker 1: I think this is a you know, critical um the deal.
Speaker 1: The deal, it runs through the seasons, so it's it's
Speaker 1: not necessarily that they have to get a deal done,
Speaker 1: but I think they want to get a deal done.
Speaker 1: And I think from an ownership perspective, the the incentive
Speaker 1: is get the deal done with the players. And that's
Speaker 1: and that's Uh, Joe, are you looking it up on
Speaker 1: your phone so that you can get more information? Course,
Speaker 1: so I think the incentive, the incentive is really you know,
Speaker 1: if you have the CBA in place, then you know,
Speaker 1: part of that is a seventeen game schedule. UM. Part
Speaker 1: of that would be another UM postseason games, so adding
Speaker 1: two teams to the postseason, so you have another wild
Speaker 1: card game, and that gives the NFL more inventory to
Speaker 1: go to the networks when they renegotiate these deals. More
Speaker 1: inventor is gonna mean what more more money? And so
Speaker 1: I think there there is incentive to get the deal done.
Speaker 1: I think the players feel. And it was interesting because
Speaker 1: the executive so so the union's Executive Council, which is
Speaker 1: which is made up of eleven members, eleven players, they
Speaker 1: negotiated with the league, with with the league UM Management Council,
Speaker 1: they negotiated this deal, this c b A. The the
Speaker 1: owners came into New York UM last week and they
Speaker 1: voted to UM ratify this agreement. The Executive Committee for
Speaker 1: the players Union then voted six five not to recommend it.
Speaker 1: So they negotiated it and then voted six five not
Speaker 1: to recommend it. So when they went to the players reps,
Speaker 1: the players reps were like confused because like, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: you negotiated it. Now you're voting six five y right,
Speaker 1: And so every team has a players rap. Thirty two
Speaker 1: teams started two players reps and they're saying why. So
Speaker 1: the meeting was about, you know, why are they what
Speaker 1: are they against? Why are they? You know? And and
Speaker 1: it basically comes down to this seventeen game season, and
Speaker 1: that's extra wear and tear on the players. And they
Speaker 1: want you know, they want more. UM, they want more
Speaker 1: coming back from that from the owners in order to
Speaker 1: do that. So what happens now, UM, they can still
Speaker 1: even without a recommendation from the Executive Council or from
Speaker 1: the players reps, they can vote and and if they
Speaker 1: get if if they get a fifty plus one saying
Speaker 1: we're gonna ratify it, then it's it's ratified. And and
Speaker 1: it's not just if there's if there's two thousand and
Speaker 1: a hundred players, not all two thousand a hundred half
Speaker 1: to vote. So if they get votes, then two one
Speaker 1: have to vote in US. So it'll be interesting to
Speaker 1: see how it plays out. They're gonna meet in Indianapolis, UM,
Speaker 1: the players union and and the management Council for the
Speaker 1: league and UH, and we'll see, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: I know it was not a a unanimous vote by
Speaker 1: the owners, so they don't, you know, they they don't
Speaker 1: necessarily there's some owners they don't feel like it's a
Speaker 1: deal that they would want to go for. But again
Speaker 1: that could be just posturing as well, because if it's unanimous,
Speaker 1: then that's a message to the players to say, oh wait,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, they're unanimous, what they think that they're
Speaker 1: getting a great deal, Maybe we need to take a
Speaker 1: step back. So we'll see, we'll see how it all goes.
Speaker 1: But the combine in India is interesting because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on. Obviously, you have the players
Speaker 1: coming in, You're gonna have all the workouts, you have
Speaker 1: all these meetings, um, you have n c A meetings.
Speaker 1: It's it's just an interesting time and uh and so
Speaker 1: we'll see, we're we're gonna learn a lot about you know,
Speaker 1: rules change his potential um both n c A and
Speaker 1: NFL and uh and we'll see what happens with the
Speaker 1: C B A. But I think it it I think
Speaker 1: it's important for everyone involved that if they can get
Speaker 1: this deal done, then unique agotiate that you you're you're,
Speaker 1: you have a stronger position to negotiate with the networks.
Speaker 1: And everybody's gonna benefit from that, right because if the
Speaker 1: if the players are going to get you know of
Speaker 1: the revenue, and that's gonna go up to right that
Speaker 1: percentage of a bigger number is obviously going to benefit them.
Speaker 1: I will I will say I will say this that
Speaker 1: the league's the league year starts March eighteen, so the
Speaker 1: owners they want to get this done, you know, before then,
Speaker 1: because then they can say, Okay, we will operate under
Speaker 1: the new collective bargaining agreement starting March eighteenth. That would
Speaker 1: not include a seventeen game season. So even if they
Speaker 1: get the deal done, we won't see a seventeen game
Speaker 1: season until the earliest one. But they would add the
Speaker 1: extra playoff game in each conference. So um, it's interesting
Speaker 1: to see how that how that all plays out. Now
Speaker 1: as a fan, as you're you're thinking about this, do
Speaker 1: you ever, like, at what point, you know, because we
Speaker 1: did have a lockout back in two thousand eleven, Yet
Speaker 1: at what point is a fan do you like start
Speaker 1: to worry about that? Like are you worry about that?
Speaker 1: Is that even a thought right now? Like we we
Speaker 1: may not have football at something. I think this discussion
Speaker 1: is like the first time I've actually thought about it,
Speaker 1: like thinking at any point it could happen, like it
Speaker 1: hasn't even crossed my mind. But now thinking about it's like,
Speaker 1: there's no way, like there's there's no way they're gonna
Speaker 1: do a lot a lockout or or work stoppage. I
Speaker 1: can't can't imagine that would happen. But what do I know?
Speaker 1: I agree? I think that as a fan, you just
Speaker 1: kind of followed general media, and as it becomes more
Speaker 1: prevalent in Sports Center and no Fox or wherever, then
Speaker 1: then you start to worry about it. But now I
Speaker 1: haven't even heard of anything about it yet. Yea, if
Speaker 1: there if any way they waited through this season without
Speaker 1: getting a deal in place, then that's when you started.
Speaker 1: What I did here is that to us said he
Speaker 1: wants to be a cowboy? Yeah, I mean it was
Speaker 1: just do you think that that changes like any anything
Speaker 1: in the draft perception? No, absolutely not. I think just
Speaker 1: the context that that's just clickbait too. They say like
Speaker 1: he if I'm look, if I'm a how nineteen year
Speaker 1: old kid? And they say, well, well, you know who
Speaker 1: would you love to play for? And I would say, oh,
Speaker 1: I grew up a Giants fan. How cool would that
Speaker 1: be to play obviously, but I'm gonna go to any
Speaker 1: team that drive him and I'm gonna you know, obviously
Speaker 1: he's it's you know, it would be great to sit
Speaker 1: behind dec and and uh, you know, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But that's not you know what I'd say that Lady
Speaker 1: Surfer Ski Jerry McGuire. So, but yeah, they screwed Jerry
Speaker 1: McGuire over big cush his dad. His dad was like
Speaker 1: a strong ash he said, and that was I've actually
Speaker 1: that made me. That made me so upset. That scene
Speaker 1: when he first of all, they Jerry McGuire has that
Speaker 1: moment he writes the mission statement. Have you seen Jerry
Speaker 1: McGuire looking at he's not saying anything because he has Okay,
Speaker 1: and you're in the field at some level. I don't
Speaker 1: watch fake stuff. Man, It's not fake. It's real. It's
Speaker 1: a movie. It's fake. It's based on anyway. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I haven't seen j Jerry McGuire works for this big
Speaker 1: agency and he has this moment where he learned like
Speaker 1: his one of his his one of his clients is
Speaker 1: a hockey player. Right. He gets he gets concussed. He's
Speaker 1: in the hospital and Jerry McGuire is like, you know,
Speaker 1: talking to him, and he talks to the kid and
Speaker 1: it's like his eighth concussion, and Jerry McGuire is like,
Speaker 1: your dad's a tank. He can't you know, He's gonna
Speaker 1: be fine, and the kids like, you know, basically like
Speaker 1: screw you. You know, this is my family. And he
Speaker 1: has this moment like, oh my god, what have I been?
Speaker 1: I've been a part of this, And so he writes
Speaker 1: this mission statement and they basically fire him. Um Jay Moore,
Speaker 1: who was his like protege like fires him. And he's
Speaker 1: a real dick in the movie. And he loses all
Speaker 1: his clients except for one, who's Cuba Gooding, who plays
Speaker 1: what's his name in the movie. He's a receiver for
Speaker 1: the Partners. This his last good movie he was in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well he won the Academy Award. Ray was it Ray?
Speaker 1: It's not Ray? What the hell? What was his name?
Speaker 1: You guys keep thinking about? So he played Remember, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Quanta is what he wanted. But what was his name?
Speaker 1: His name was Ray? It was not The brother's name
Speaker 1: was Ray? It was not Ray. I guarantee you Cuba
Speaker 1: Gooding's name was not Ray in that movie. I'll bet
Speaker 1: you whatever you want. What was his name? We're getting there?
Speaker 1: Oh my are you? How old are you? Can you
Speaker 1: not find something on the internet. So so it's that's
Speaker 1: the only client he keeps. And Rod Tidwell is not
Speaker 1: like a superstar, but he's like, who would be the
Speaker 1: NFL Rod Tidwell. He's like, he's like the guy that
Speaker 1: he gets like he gets like a thousand yards and
Speaker 1: gets yeah, he gets like a thousand yards every year.
Speaker 1: He gets like, you know, eight touchdowns every year. But
Speaker 1: he's never you never, you never hear about him like
Speaker 1: as like a top fantasy pick. He's just like solid.
Speaker 1: But when you look at his statue, you go, oh, man,
Speaker 1: Rod ted wells four years in a row of a
Speaker 1: thousand yards and you're like who And then you write,
Speaker 1: You're like Rod did Well for next year's fantasy. Don't
Speaker 1: tell anybody. And and so he keeps Rod ti Well.
Speaker 1: But his his his major prospect is the number one
Speaker 1: draft pick quarterback and his name Cush Cushman, and he
Speaker 1: he's got cush. He goes to New York and Cush
Speaker 1: his dad screws him over and signs with the more
Speaker 1: the asshole j Moore because they Jay Moore tells him
Speaker 1: that that Jerry McGuire lost his mind and flipped out
Speaker 1: and seen the part are you getting there My words
Speaker 1: is strong as oak part. Well, Jerry calls the hotel

Speaker 1: just sniff if he's there, and he's like, he's like,
Speaker 1: all right, you're with the big boys now. And he's
Speaker 1: basically telling them that, you know, telling Jerry McGuire that
Speaker 1: you're getting screwed. And Jerry hangs up the phone and
Speaker 1: like knows that. He takes a pad and he goes
Speaker 1: up to Cushies dad. He's like, you know what, let's
Speaker 1: let's just put something in writing that that you're with

Speaker 1: Cush goes with Jay Moore, and Jerry McGuire stays with
Speaker 1: Rod Tidwell. Rod Tidwell has this amazing game on Monday
Speaker 1: Night Football against the Cowboys, and he signs a big

Speaker 1: like if he's like there was the pictures of him
Speaker 1: older and that's the whole movie and now you don't
Speaker 1: have to watch it. That's Jerry McGuire. Alright. On that note,
Speaker 1: let's take a break. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk in the cube. We're gonna talk to the difference
Speaker 1: between the waka and the waka. Next on good Calls. Alright,
Speaker 1: we're back on good Calls now that we got Jerry
Speaker 1: McGuire straight. Joe's phones put away, Joe's phones put away.
Speaker 1: Travis is is shoutout boxing because he watched Rocky and
Speaker 1: he so he loves the movie so much so in
Speaker 1: the queue, this weekend, we're we're there for XFL Week
Speaker 1: three and we're watching the Houston game and Houston's quarterback
Speaker 1: is is so far is the early favorite for um
Speaker 1: M v P. You know he played, he was with
Speaker 1: the Colts um for a little bit and he's playing. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: If this guy was three inches taller, he'd be in it,
Speaker 1: as Joe would be an NFL tight end? Thank you? So?
Speaker 1: How short is he? Hopefully gets eleven? But he's he
Speaker 1: was on the screen, okay, in his last name is
Speaker 1: w A l k e R p J w A
Speaker 1: l k e R. And he is on the screen.
Speaker 1: How do you pronounce that? Joe? Okay? He is on
Speaker 1: the screen, and and Travis is sitting there and he's going,
Speaker 1: oh waka, he's he goes, oh waka. He's he played
Speaker 1: at Wyoming and his brother pitched for the Cardinals. And
Speaker 1: I go and I go, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Have you've been paying attention like you been watching the
Speaker 1: last three week? PJ. Walker is not like he's he's
Speaker 1: not his brother doesn't play for the Cardinals. Like he
Speaker 1: was almost as mad as when I said I was acting,
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like walka does not, like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And he's like, no, I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about Walker, I'm talking about Waka. The he
Speaker 1: said w A c h A and so my long
Speaker 1: Island accent, I'm like, Waka is the quarterback PJ. So
Speaker 1: we were like, literally like we were speaking two different languages.
Speaker 1: Is the look he gave me. He was so mad,
Speaker 1: He's like, what are you even talking about? I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about then. But then then he comes out
Speaker 1: with this thing like I don't even know. I still
Speaker 1: don't know what you were talking about, so I need
Speaker 1: you to explain it to me. He starts talking about
Speaker 1: some ship that they used to do in Wyoming where
Speaker 1: they were spinning nickels up at McDonald's. It's it's stupid
Speaker 1: adolescent stuff. So we were talking about mcmillions, like Bondo
Speaker 1: and and Scott, we're talking about mcmillions and how to
Speaker 1: so everyone's back but yeah, exactly, yeah everyone but you, sorry, Bud.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so we're talking about McDonald's and how we
Speaker 1: walked to the local McDonald's when we were in junior
Speaker 1: high and whatever, and I was like, yeah, we used
Speaker 1: to do all kinds of stupid stuff when when we
Speaker 1: were kids and and I was like, yeah, did you
Speaker 1: guys ever do the nickel trick with the plastics salt
Speaker 1: and pepper shakers? And they're like what. I'm like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you spin a nickel on the table and you slam
Speaker 1: the salt shaker on top of it, and then you
Speaker 1: slide it to the middle of the table and then
Speaker 1: there's no as to do, no no salt there. But
Speaker 1: the next person who picks it up, all the salt
Speaker 1: falls out the bottom. Yeah, like that it break, it
Speaker 1: breaks the bottom. Yeah, it breaks the bottom. We used
Speaker 1: to do the same thing, but with um the parmesan
Speaker 1: and pepper you know the standard parm and pepper shakers
Speaker 1: at pizza partoms. So if you unscrew them, put a
Speaker 1: napkin on the top, flip it over, slide the napkin out,
Speaker 1: and then you take the top and just set it
Speaker 1: on top. It looks identical to if it was. So
Speaker 1: we used go to Chunky Cheese and do them all
Speaker 1: and every time so we go pick up the pepper
Speaker 1: apartment follower over the place. But that's more like I
Speaker 1: get that one. But the slamming the nickel on the
Speaker 1: salt in McDonald's like because it breaks the bottom, break
Speaker 1: the bottom, so then yeah, when you lift it up,
Speaker 1: all the salt just falls out the button. It costs
Speaker 1: you a nickel to see. We got to do it
Speaker 1: for free? Can you do it? I don't, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: still don't. All right, we're gonna let's don't do those.
Speaker 1: They don't do those plastic salt and pepper shakers anymore.
Speaker 1: So plastic yeahah, like I don't think that's like you're
Speaker 1: talking about, like the gray and black ones. I'll get
Speaker 1: one of those smart and final. Yeah, the cube. If
Speaker 1: you guys ever invite me over, well, they don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't do it. They don't use those plastic ones. No,
Speaker 1: it was the ones that was at the table. They
Speaker 1: don't have those things at the table anymore because back
Speaker 1: in the day, you know, people were trusted. Now people
Speaker 1: just steal. They would just steal it. They would just
Speaker 1: steal that. Um okay, all right, that makes more sense now.
Speaker 1: I thank you for you put it. When you you
Speaker 1: put it in language that I understand what the next
Speaker 1: person you said, parmesan and and pizza. That was now
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, half Italian, we're still you know,
Speaker 1: we're still Next time Travis just put it in some context,
Speaker 1: like if it if it involves something in chicken parm
Speaker 1: or something along those lines. One of my favorite lines
Speaker 1: from Rocky was, yeah, if he's not a good fighter,
Speaker 1: you know he's a good cook, the Italian stallion, because
Speaker 1: all Italians cook, Right, that's your best line. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's so when you are really you're showing us who
Speaker 1: you are. So I was in Bristol Farms, um, I
Speaker 1: was telling Travis. I was in Bristol Farms during the weekend.
Speaker 1: It's a great store. But no, it's just it's just
Speaker 1: I like walking around. I just shop at Arms. I
Speaker 1: go to Vons too. And so I was walking to
Speaker 1: Bristol Farms and I was this very attractive woman was
Speaker 1: coming down the aisle and I was going the opposite way,
Speaker 1: and we were passing each other and she just said
Speaker 1: she just said hi, and and I was so taken
Speaker 1: it back she said hi and I and I said
Speaker 1: good and I kept going and I'm like walking away,
Speaker 1: like what the I was like, that's still got it.
Speaker 1: I was like, what, Like so now like normally you'd
Speaker 1: you'd want to run back into it, right, Well, no,
Speaker 1: Now I'm like trying to like avoid pay. That's the guy.
Speaker 1: Oh he's special. That's the guy that said because I like,
Speaker 1: you ever get on an elevator and somebody like says
Speaker 1: hi to you and you're not expecting it, and you
Speaker 1: you get stuck between how you want? Like who, like
Speaker 1: you don't know what? That every show opened for me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like yeah, Joe Travis. It was just like I didn't know,
Speaker 1: Like it didn't even have to be an attractive person.
Speaker 1: It could have been anybody just said hi to me,
Speaker 1: and I just I just zoned in, like I was
Speaker 1: zoomed in and I was like, Okay, we're gonna go.
Speaker 1: We're in the cheese aisle and then we're gonna go
Speaker 1: and I and I just was like I was anticipating
Speaker 1: how are you, I guess, and I was answering how
Speaker 1: are you? And it was just a you know, high wait.
Speaker 1: So attractive women just say open you up all the time.
Speaker 1: They just say words. My whole point was that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen like people A people don't just say hello to me,
Speaker 1: And not that I want them to say hello to me.
Speaker 1: Growing up in New York, it's like you're weird, did
Speaker 1: you say? But it just was I was just taken
Speaker 1: aback and I said, good to all the time, go
Speaker 1: to Wyoming, especially in elevators. Favorite, No, My favorite was
Speaker 1: was when I was last year. I was in the
Speaker 1: UM National Championship Alabama Clemson, and I was in the
Speaker 1: hotel that was up in San Francisco and I was
Speaker 1: in the hotel. There's a bunch of Alabama people at
Speaker 1: the hotel and I got in the elevator. The guy
Speaker 1: just looks at me. It goes roll time and that
Speaker 1: was it? Like perfect, he said, And I was like,
Speaker 1: what you know? So it's yeah, not that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: to me every day. But um, the other thing that
Speaker 1: you missed was Scott. So Scott works with us in
Speaker 1: the and I and I want to bring him on
Speaker 1: the podcast. I think I want to. I want to
Speaker 1: do a guest appearance by Scott. We were. I asked
Speaker 1: him a question because I honestly don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: follow politics. I don't not that look. I've I've vote,
Speaker 1: but I'm not like big into politics. Obviously the election
Speaker 1: coming up, there's been a lot of political stuff coming
Speaker 1: up and issues. But I asked Scott, I said, is
Speaker 1: it do you have to as part of a political ad,
Speaker 1: do you have to say, Like there was a Bloomberg
Speaker 1: add and said I'm Mike Bloomberg and I approve of
Speaker 1: this of this message. And I was like, do you
Speaker 1: have to do that? Like? Is that a law? Is
Speaker 1: that a rule? And Scott explained that what why why
Speaker 1: they do that is because there's these what do they
Speaker 1: call superpacks that that like so supporters. So if I
Speaker 1: support Bloomberg, I can run an AD for Mike Bloomberg
Speaker 1: without his permission, and I can say whatever the hell
Speaker 1: I want. And so by saying I'm Mike Bloomberg and
Speaker 1: I support this ad, I only those ads are attributed
Speaker 1: to me and everybody else I can just say, hey,
Speaker 1: that's not me. Those are supporters, but I don't really
Speaker 1: agree with what they're saying. And Scott was on a role.
Speaker 1: So he starts talking about and he's starts doing ads
Speaker 1: as if I was running for for office, and he's like,
Speaker 1: he Dean Blandino wants to bring you gotta you can't.
Speaker 1: In the middle of it was so he's like, He's like,
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino wants to bring criminals into your neighborhood. And
Speaker 1: then and then he's like, but actually what you did
Speaker 1: was you you started a program rehabilitating people coming out
Speaker 1: of jail to start them learning about trades and giving
Speaker 1: them jobs in your neighborhood. But the ad is Dean
Speaker 1: Blandino wants criminals to live in your neighborhood. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that makes sense because the other guys
Speaker 1: could now, yeah, average you approved, I approve of this message,
Speaker 1: and and so he was just like then he just
Speaker 1: started doing like a whole bunch of them, and we
Speaker 1: probably can't say, no, we can't, but it was it
Speaker 1: was hilarious, and like, so gonna have We're gonna have
Speaker 1: him come on and talk about politics, um, the right,
Speaker 1: the other thing I want. So my my four year
Speaker 1: old Cal he's turning five and two weeks he me
Speaker 1: and him were hanging out, um during the week, and
Speaker 1: he just goes, He's like, she's on, so I don't
Speaker 1: want her to say it. But he's like, you know, Alexa,
Speaker 1: and and he's like he's talking to Alexa. See she's listening.
Speaker 1: You know, now I gotta cut that. I don't have
Speaker 1: to cut that. It's just her talking. We're not playing
Speaker 1: anything coming Alexa. Stop. So okay, let's let's call it Amanda.

Speaker 1: It's like, all, just imagine any behavior of a two
Speaker 1: year old as an adult and like going into a restaurant,

Speaker 1: think it would be cool if adults ran indoors as
Speaker 1: much as like kids do, like like me too, like
