1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Welcome to the weirdest

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: weekend in sports for the entire calendar. You will not

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: have another weekend. I think that feels as strange as

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: this one. The super Bowl is right around the corner,

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: and you're just days away from being inundated with the

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: same guests hitting you on every single show as they

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: run across the country and pitch their products. You're days

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: away from being told the Super Bowl storylines over and

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: over and over again. And you want to move forward.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: You want to figure out how to move past it.

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to invest in college basketball. Maybe you're

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: ready to move forward to the next sport. But the

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl's right there. It's like a shadow hanging over you.

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, You're trying to figure out what

15
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: to make of a wild weekend. You're sitting there with

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: your friends. Tomorrow is the first day in a very

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: long time you've had to look at your buddies and say,

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: what do you want to do tomorrow? It's Sunday, and

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the answer isn't watch football. Welcome to Royal Rumble Weekend.

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: That's where we are. He's buck rising out. Jason fitz

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Bucketfit's on Fox Sports Radio. He rolls his eyes as

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: I say Royal Rumble Weekend. Buck Look, I mean it

23
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: started at two in the afternoon today because it's taking

24
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: place in Saudi Arabia. We can have a whole conversation

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: about that. Why I started. Yeah, you didn't know this.

26
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: The WWE decided that the right thing to do is

27
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: build a stadium in Saudi Arabia, and their second biggest

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: pay per view of the year, or at least one

29
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: of the top three depending on your rank them is

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: taking place right now in Saudi Arabia, and WWE fans

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: have been watching it since two in the afternoon because ah,

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: there's a time difference. This is where we are, this

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: is where I am. I'm spending my Saturday as a

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: grown as man watching Royal Rumble and just feeling my

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: feels from my childhood because I'm just desperate for something

36
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: that can make me feel the sports feels that I need.

37
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: Right now.

38
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm currently watching my basketball team trail by

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: six against UCLA right now, which makes me very unhappy

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: after the high of beating Purdue eight days removed from

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: winning a national championship. I'm telling you I'm having a

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: hard time, Fitsy, and it's not just because I had

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: a chest full of red door cigarettes for those of

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: you who are familiar with the bar in Nashville last night.

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: We are battling through adversity today. No, it's because the

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: come down of being and remember you are to refer

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: to me as national Champion Buck Rising moving forward since

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: my IDEAA within three weeks of me becoming a fan,

49
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: then won a title. Very well done by me. The

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: high of the greatest sporting event that I've ever attended

51
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: in my life. And I've been to a great many

52
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: sporting events as of you, and I'm sure that you

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: have done some cool ones in your day. I have

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: seen many cool things across the spectrum of sports. I've

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: seen a lot of important moments in sports history. I've

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: witnessed a lot of things that you know, people dream

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 2: about and get to watch on television from Afart. But

58
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 2: to be on the scene at Tom Brady's last game

59
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: as a New England Patriot when Logan Ryan's picking them

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: off in the wild card round to send the Titans

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: to the divisional round, whether it's the Derrick Henry rushing

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: ninety nine yards, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 2: call for Fox at the time against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: I've seen some pretty cool things, but today, fitsy. I

65
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: was packing my bag. I was packing a bag that

66
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: I took down to Miami for the National Championship a

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, and out of this bag as

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: I was packing, fell a little piece of red confetti

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: and I was just like, I don't know if I'm

70
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: ever going to experience joy in sports that I felt

71
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: watching Indiana in person win a national championship. Like, where

72
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 2: do you go as a fan once you've reached the mountaintop,

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: because it's probably never gonna be that good again, especially

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: with the rocket ship that is the Indiana football story, right.

75
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: I know, you turn on the television the next day

76
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: and immediately, whether it's Get Up or Good Morning Football

77
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: or any of these morning television shows, whether you're listening

78
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: to talk radio, people are just immediately onto Yeah, Indiana

79
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: won the title, and you know, the Giants are getting

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: ready to hire John Harbaugh or something like that, and

81
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: all of the joy that you just spent, if you're

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: somebody who's not a bandwagon fan like me, potentially years

83
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: or months building up to it's just gone because the

84
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: entire the entirety of the world, the sports world, moved

85
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: on because you did the thing. All Right, that's cute.

86
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: We'll see you next season. We'll wait for preseason rankings

87
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: and all those kinds of things. And I'm just sitting

88
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: there looking at this little piece of confetti and be like,

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: will I ever feel that kind of joy again as

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: a sports fan? As cool as it was to witness

91
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: my Alma mad Or win a title, one of the

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: most improbable titles in sports history, you could certainly argue,

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'll ever be that happy as

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: a sports fan again. Maybe that's just the pessimist in me.

95
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: No, I think there is something to witnessing your first

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: in this sort of situation, because if Indiana goes back

97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: to back, it won't feel the same. If Indiana wins

98
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: another title in three or four years, it won't feel

99
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: the same. The closest I have in that in a

100
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: proximity fan base is I was in the building when

101
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup and to see that

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: moment and know that I grew up as a kid

103
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas that never thought professional sports would make

104
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: it to Vegas. So to watch the city that you know,

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: I often see people ask where I'm from. I'm from

106
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Nashville and Vegas. I was born in Vegas. I spent

107
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: most of my adult life in Nashville, so I have

108
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: sort of two places that I will always call home.

109
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: But to watch the Golden Knights win that title, I

110
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: think what's funny is that so many hockey guys and

111
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: girls hockey fans got really angry with the Golden Knights

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: fan base, and it's one of those well, you haven't

113
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: been around long enough to deserve it. We have these

114
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: like qualifications we have to have on titles. You have

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: to have had a certain amount of suffering. So the

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: fact that the Golden Knights went to the Stanley Cup

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Final right away and then come back and win it

118
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: within five years of existence, I think some people were

119
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: appalled by that. I looked at it as it just

120
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: from my entire life as a little kid growing up

121
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: in Vegas before there were ever pro sports there. It

122
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: was a dream that nobody ever thought would really happen.

123
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Like when the Lakers would play the occasional game in Vegas,

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: it was, oh my god, could this be part of

125
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: the reality. So sitting at the parade for the Golden Knights,

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: watching that go through, like, I think I finally understood

127
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: why people go to parades, right, Like, there's this moment

128
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: for me where I don't get I think to your point,

129
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: you know, what you experienced with Indiana is such a

130
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: special thing because it's the massive turnaround. It's this one year,

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: incredible moment. If they now have sustained success, everyone after

132
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: this will feel different. And I can't speak to what

133
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: it's like to watch my beloved Raiders win a Super Bowl.

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Everybody knows my fandom, but the last time they won

135
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, I was roughly six years old, So

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, really, I don't really remember it. So the

137
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: last Super Bowl memory I have, and this raises an

138
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: interesting question here, the last Super Bowl memory I have

139
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: is waking up. I was living in Franklin, Tennessee at

140
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: the time. Waking up and I turn on the news

141
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: and I see the report that the Raider's starting center

142
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: has gone. Hey, well nobody can find him. He's gone.

143
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: He just went to Mexico. He was out, and I

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, it'll be fine. I go

145
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: to the liquor store where I had ordered to come

146
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: of kegs, and I bring the kegs back to the house.

147
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: I go to the Kroger and Franklin at the time,

148
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: and I get my Raiders' Super Bowl cake, only to

149
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: see that my Raider's Super Bowl cake was completely blue,

150
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: because again, this is twenties plus years ago, they couldn't

151
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: figure out how to food color it to black apparently,

152
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: so I had a blue Raiders cake and I'm like,

153
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: you know what, it's fine. And then I sit down

154
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: to watch the game and a bunch of my friends.

155
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a house party. It's a super Bowl, the

156
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Raiders are in it. Everybody knows what the Raiders mean

157
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: to me, my entire life. A bunch of my friends

158
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: show up wearing Tampa Bay Buccaneers shirts because they think

159
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna be funny. It's fine. I sit in my

160
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: favorite seat while everybody mocks me, and I watch the

161
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Raiders get their asses kicked forty eight to twenty one.

162
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: I remember the score. Don't have to remember the game.

163
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: I remember the score. By the end of the game,

164
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: I turn around. The house is empty because everybody's leaving

165
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: me in my space. Right They're just like ooh, I'm

166
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: going and get out of there. So I go to

167
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: the back ports to get my kegs and just you know,

168
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: drink my way into oblivion late on a Sunday night,

169
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: only to discover that my friends drank all my alcohol.

170
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh gone, every single bit of it gone. So I

171
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: think about that Super Bowl all the time. I really

172
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: don't know what's worse. And as we get into Super

173
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: Bowl Week and we're about to have the Seahawks take

174
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: on the Patriots, I very early in this process in

175
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: predicting a Seahawks slaughter in the Super Bowl. I think

176
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna run them. What lasts longer in your memory

177
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: losing a championship or winning one? Because I think of

178
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: the Golden Knights sometimes. I got a basement full of

179
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Golden Knights Stanley Cup Championship. I got a puck that's

180
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: filled with ice from the last game, Like I've got

181
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: everything you can imagine in my basement from that championship.

182
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: It meant something to me as a Vegas kid. But man,

183
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: I think about that Super Bowl way more often than

184
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: I think about that championship.

185
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's the correct answer. It's the losses, right,

186
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: It's it's especially getting to the final game, whether it

187
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: be the National Championship, whether it be the Super Bowl,

188
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: the NBA, the Game seven of the NBA Finals, or

189
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: you know, the the clinching game in the NBA Finals,

190
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, it is those losses because

191
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: if you are if you are a fan of it. Again,

192
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm experiencing this from a very very bandwagon perspective, but

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: even I, uh, with you know, the help of my

194
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: good friend Jason Fitz, was able to attend the Peach

195
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: Bowl and the National Championship for my alma mater, to

196
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: watch Indiana go through these things and to you know,

197
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: to invest whatever level of financial, emotional, uh, just your

198
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: your general time into a team as you get to

199
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: or try to follow along with those things. It's it's

200
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: it's one of those that, like you are living with

201
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: fear in every opportunity, right because, oh my god, what

202
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: if I just spent X amount of dollars to attend

203
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: a National Championship game and fly to Miami and get

204
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 2: a hotel and all these different things, and you know,

205
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 2: just to to care that much about something. What if

206
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: Carson Beck doesn't throw the interception, What if Miami wins

207
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: the game? What if what if I'm sitting there as

208
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: you know, instead of instead of red confetti that's falling

209
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: out of my bag, it's it's orange and green from Miami,

210
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: because oh my god, I have to relive that drama again.

211
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Like it's one of those things I assume and again

212
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: this is, this is it's a new experience for me.

213
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Gotta you know, getting to be a fan that way,

214
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: because you work in sports for a number of years.

215
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: It depending on who you are, I think it can

216
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: kind of wear you down in terms of the pure,

217
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: unadulterated joy of sports just being a hobby or or

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: an obsession that you don't have to be financially connected to,

219
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: right you hear people talk about this, and those are

220
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: first world problems for those of us who get to

221
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: sit around in our homes like FITZI and I Fitsy

222
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: in Connecticut and me and Nashville and the Great Crew

223
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: out in Los Angeles making sure that we get on

224
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: the air while I watch basketball and talk about sports

225
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: for a living. Like the first world problem to have

226
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: that wear you down. But like once you once you

227
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: get to experience that joy again or for the first

228
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: time or maybe in a lifetime, you know, it may

229
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: be the only opportunity to see your team get into

230
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: the title. It's it's almost like reality TV or a

231
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: series that you're watching religiously and you follow the stories

232
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: of these characters, and all of a sudden, you're invested

233
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 2: heavily in the Secret Life of Mormon Wives, and the

234
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: mom Talk scandal happens, and you're devastated about it, and

235
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: it just it sits with you for days and days

236
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: on end, and you're thinking and going through all these

237
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: different scenarios in your head of what if things have

238
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: been done differently, how could this storyline have changed to

239
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: where I'm not deeply impacted by it on a regular basis.

240
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 2: I just I think the losses and the heartbreak moments

241
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: always always stick with you a fan. It's like coaches

242
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: when they talk about the opportunity to compete. The losses

243
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: stick with them way more than the winds do, because

244
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: you just once you get the win, you get a

245
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: couple hours to celebrate, maybe crack a cold one. Then

246
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: you get back in the office and you start, you know,

247
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: figuring out how much money do I have to commit

248
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 2: in my nil funding to the wide receiver that I'm

249
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: chasing Tennessee and Alabama for or something like that. It's

250
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: just that's it is always the hurt. And I think

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: you could say that of any human experience, whether it

252
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: be sports or anything that you follow along for years

253
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: on end.

254
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: That way, you're a thousand percent right. He's Buck Rising.

255
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jason fitz I. I remember the band played the

256
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Fox pregame Super Bowl show for the MetLife Stadium Super

257
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: Bowl Broncos Seahawks. And after we played the pregame show,

258
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: because we had done the broadcast, the NFL escorted us.

259
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: I said, the most baller I've ever felt to the

260
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: NFL escorted us with this whole security entourage to our

261
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: seats to watch the Super Bowl eight rows off the field.

262
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting eight rows off the field to watch

263
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I got two Broncos fans sitting in

264
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: front of me and two Seahawks fans sitting behind me.

265
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: And what I will never forget about that game is

266
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: in the second half, in the beginning of the second half,

267
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: when it blew out and you just knew that this

268
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: thing was open over this Sawks fans behind me, they

269
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: were celebrating. They were a static Seahawks about to win

270
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. The Broncos fans in front of me.

271
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: The two were apoplectic. Dude was bawling uncontrollably, and I

272
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: literally heard him say, I spent twenty thousand dollars a

273
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: person to be here, and I think about that all

274
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: the time. Like, the only thing worse than watching your

275
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: team get absolutely decimated on TV is knowing you had

276
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: to take out loans to do it, and that is like,

277
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: that is just a different level of hurt. And I'm

278
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: not sure that we're not gonna see some of that

279
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,120

346
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,680

Speaker 1: to listen to us.

348
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: My whole thing is, I'm trying something different today on

349
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: the show. I'm standing while doing the show. I've had

350
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: the standing desk in my office for I don't know

351
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: five years at this point, and I am attempting to

352
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: have better energy. So me ducking down out of the

353
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: shot does not mean that I've walked off. Simply means

354
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: that I bent down to pick something up or you know,

355
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: just moving around a little bit. I'm trying to have

356
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: better energy. I'm trying to you. You bore me so

357
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: that I felt a little sleepy in my chair when

358
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: we were doing the show the last couple of weeks.

359
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: I also have a very comfortable office chair that I

360
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: just felt myself sinking into a little more. So I said,

361
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm going to deal with this bore

362
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 2: Jason Fitz, and the only way that I know how,

363
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to implement the standing desk. I'm going to

364
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: use all the tools at my disposal because I Jason Fitz,

00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: way that I can, despite your best efforts to put

Speaker 2: us to sleep.

369
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,400

Speaker 1: is not usually one of the In fact, it's fair.

371
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,439

00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: lump me in with this. Nope, we are not tag

416
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,720

417
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: us out. I'm just saying. Speaking speaking of which, Buck,

418
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: can I talk you into this? All right? Royal rumble today?

419
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: Can I talk you into this? I know you're not

420
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: a big wrestling guy. Here's the thing. I grew up

421
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: a big wrestling kid, and so I will be the

422
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: first to admit that I maybe don't follow it to

423
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: the same level. Now. I'm a casual every once in

424
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: a while, it's on. I look up and I'm like, oh,

425
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I will be honest today, as I watch

426
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: the Royal Rumble, I realize how many people are in

427
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: the roster of WWE that I flat out don't know

428
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: that's fair. But as a kid, I used to love this,

429
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: and I used to love it because the way it

430
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: is is like it starts with one guy in the ring, right,

431
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: and then every couple of minutes there's a timer, you

432
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: can see it on the screen, and every couple of

433
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: minutes the timer hits zero, and all of a sudden,

434
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: a new wrestler, you don't know who he's gonna be,

435
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: a new wrestler comes charging into the ring right, and

436
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're trying to eliminate each other.

437
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: The only way you're eliminated is if you are thrown

438
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: over the top rope and both of your feet hit

439
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: the ground. Not one foot, but two feet have to

440
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: hit the actual ground for you to be eliminated. You

441
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: have to be thrown over the top rope. And there

442
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: are thirty contestants, so over the course of it, they

443
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: just keep coming in and in and in, and you

444
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: try and eliminate some of these guys are in the

445
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: ring for as long as I think last year's record

446
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: holder was forty five minutes in the ring, staving off

447
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: the next competitor that comes in. Am I talking you

448
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: into at least feeling like this would would tickle your

449
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: tickle your no nose a little bit?

450
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: I'm in troil. I don't know about that. I'm intrigued

451
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: the bare minimum maybe maybe not full movement as far

452
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: as that goes. But I think that you started it.

453
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: That's my faulty. I'm sorry, rolled and fired tonight, that

454
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: is my fault. I've at least like you're.

455
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: Little excited, Yeah, you know, I mean, I'm I'm curious,

456
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: mostly because they're putting this damn thing in Saudi Arabia

457
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: and like it's not even to do with And you know,

458
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: I do not want to be dismissive of wrestling at all.

459
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: I have never, you know, never followed it really growing up.

460
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: A lot of people do. It's it's a cult of

461
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: its own. It's a hugely profitable business. Are my buddy

462
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: uh had me go? In fact, he's performing. Jelly Roll

463
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: is performing in WWE on a regular basis. I went

464
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: to see him in Munich in Paris. No, it's not

465
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: a flag, Mary, it's not a flag. It's part of

466
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: the story. It's a part of the story, damn it.

467
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 2: Otherwise I'm not sitting front row with John C's.

468
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 1: Last That's that's a flag. When when anybody name drops

469
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: or Mary just thinks we've stepped out of line in

470
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: general and need to be brought back to the center,

471
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 1: that's the that's the power that she wields.

472
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: It is an essential part of the story. That my

473
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: personal friend Jelly Roll was performing overseas and I flew

474
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: to see him so that I could also go and

475
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: sit front row at John Sena's last match in Paris

476
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: with him and Post Malone and enjoy it very much.

477
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: I enjoyed the wrestling experience from the front row. I

478
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 2: understand that I got a little bit of a one

479
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: percent or experience that way, sucking all of you.

480
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: I'll come. He's not wrong about that. I am at

481
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the very least jealous. As I spent much of the

482
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: afternoon looking at hotel rooms in Vegas for WrestleMania, I'm

483
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: thinking about just pulling the pulling a trigger on our

484
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: going out there and going out to WrestleMania. It's in Vegas.

485
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: It's that Elisia. Yes, it bucks In. We could do

486
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: the show from out there. Come on, do the show

487
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: on a Saturday from WrestleMania. We're making this thing happen.

488
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: We got to get everybody updated on actual sports that

489
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: are happening. Let's do that, Martin. You want to get

490
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,280

Speaker 2: NBA's anti drug policy.

494
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 6: George releasing a statement saying he took improper medication while

495
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 6: seeking treatment for mental health. New York Giants going to

496
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 6: Steve Tish's been named in the latest Epstein files drop,

497
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 6: his name appearing four hundred and forty times among the

498
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: released documents, having releasing a statement yesterday saying he and

499
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 6: Epstein had a brief association where they exchanged emails about

500
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 6: adult women in addition discuss movies, philanthropy, and investments, that

501
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 6: did not take him up on any of his invitations

502
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 6: and never went to his island. As we all know now,

503
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 6: he was a terrible person. That's someone that deeply regret

504
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 6: associating with and men's college basketball Arizona remains undefeated, beating

505

Speaker 6: to fifty eighth. Houston beat Cincinnati seventy six to fifty four.

509
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 6: Kansas right now, by ninety seconds left in the game,

510

Speaker 6: BYU's made more of a game coming back eighty two

511
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 6: to seventy six. Right now the margin with just under

512
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: ninety seconds left in the second half. As Byu shoots

513
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 6: a free throw, make that a five point margin. You

514
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 6: know they got aj Debanza and Darren Peterson going on

515
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 6: in this game. There's two people, two players probably going

516
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 6: to be top ten picks, our top five picks in

517
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 6: the NBA draft. Debancay has seventeen points on six for

518

00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 6: six for eight, three for five from three.

522
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Fellas.

523
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: Back to you subtle us by Martin there by the

524
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 2: way you know from the from the Steve Tish scandal

525
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: to college basketball scorp.

526
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: Scott, I mean that was there's I mean a hard list, right, Yeah,

527
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing. Look, and I want to be clear about

528
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: this because I've I've thought a lot about this in

529
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, simply because of the amount

530
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: of work we do covering sports. There is no easy

531
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: way to cover anything that we're finding out from the

532
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: Epstein files. And right now, I think what most of

533
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: us they're doing is waiting for a response from the league.

534
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: Not just from the NFL, but there are other owners

535
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: from other sports that are implicated. There are athletes, there

536
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: are former NASCAR drivers, There's all sorts of implications. I

537
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: think right now, all I can tell you and all

538
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: we would have to say on something like that, frankly

539
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: as a show, is that it looks like some very

540
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: wealthy people in a position of power associated with one

541
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: of the most awful human beings you can imagine, and

542
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: may have done terrible things. There's not a ten minute

543
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: topic on this. There's not a big conversation to be had.

544
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: I fully expect I've been I've worked the phones all

545
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: day to figure out I expect Roger Goodell at his

546
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: State of the Union will be asked about it on Monday.

547
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: I'd expect that he will duck the questions because he's

548
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: a former attorney that's going to make sure he ducks

549
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: those questions. I think our real conversations on these sorts

550
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: of matters will come when the league start to respond.

551
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: So I will say that about something that is just

552
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: not easy to talk about. Plus, to be honest, like

553
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: the tone of our show is not really one that

554
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: dives into the depths of that unnecessarily, So when there's

555
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: something to actually talk about and break down on it,

556
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: we will. But right now, Martin gave you everything you

557
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: need to know and did it particularly well. So I

558
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: appreciate you, Martin for doing the heavy lifting for us

559
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: on that.

560
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only thing that I would add to that

561
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 2: because you're right. I mean, we scur around for two

562
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 2: hours a week that Fox Sports Radio graciously allows us

563
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: to do, and oftentimes in sports there are serious subject

564
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: matter that come up, and you know, there is some

565
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: level of expectation to have an opinion or to you know,

566
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: to speak with definitive points on some of this stuff,

567
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: where right now you're just kind of letting the information

568
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 2: trickle out as much as you can, and then you know,

569
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: formulating any level of opinion that you might have about it.

570
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: And even then, it's not worth having a strong opinion

571
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 2: about this situation until more of this stuff becomes available

572
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: for people to kind of understand and see just how

573
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 2: far it spreads. The one thing that I will say,

574
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: should we get back into this at a later date

575
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: or more information comes out by the time we do

576
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: the next show, or we're talking about Rogergadell did or

577
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: did not say about it next week before the Super Bowl,

578
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: because you're damn right, he's going to be asked about

579
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: it and should be asked about it. It's it's one

580
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 2: of those things where I can already feel people getting

581
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 2: a little upset about it because it's something beyond the

582
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 2: nature of the upsetting situation around Jeffrey Epstein and Elaine

583
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: Maxwell and all these different things that it's one of

584
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: those things where sports and culture, society, if you want

585
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 2: to talk about it politically, they start to bleed together

586
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: and you're just looking around, as you know, talking heads

587
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 2: like us like it's not really a stick to sports

588
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 2: thing once it starts to get into the world of sports.

589
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 2: So I would just bear that in mind, should we

590
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: should it come up in any discussion moving forward on

591
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: any show.

592
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, Roger Goodell every year at the Super

593
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: Bowl does a massive State of the Union. Now, I

594
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: was lucky enough early in my career to be at

595
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: a couple of them, and at the time it was

596
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: a really cool experience just to sit in the room

597
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: and somebody walked around with real microphones and they were

598
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: able to sort of if you could get to the

599
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,479
Speaker 1: right person, you could get a question asked. That has

600
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: changed drastically in the last few years in their process

601
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: of who's allowed in the room and how constricting they

602
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: are on who gets access passes to these things. And

603
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: then there have been at least rumblings over the last

604
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: couple of years that many people have to pre submit

605
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: their questions to the league to decide if they're going

606
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: to be asked. Now, certainly that has.

607
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: A whole lawsuit situation around Jim Trotter about it.

608
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundredersent of who I was about to mention,

609
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: that hasn't stopped Jim Trotter and others from using the

610
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: opportunity when they've had the opportunity to speak loudly to

611
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell. But the fact of it is like when everybody,

612
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: everybody always comes in and says, well, you have to

613
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: hold their feet to the fire and get answers to

614
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: these things. I mean, Roger, I would be stunned if

615
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell says anything about this at his press conference

616
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: other than it's an ongoing legal matter. The league's been

617
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: made aware of it and we're going to investigate it.

618
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what else they can say, you know,

619
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: in the sense of they're going to limit their own liability.

620
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: They're going to want as much evidence and when you

621
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: have whatever, three million pages of documents that were released

622
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: didn't impact not just the NFL, but again there's accusations

623
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: to owners in the NBA and soccer like all over

624
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: the place. I think leagues are going to have to

625
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: be very calculated in their response because you don't get

626
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: in trouble for what you don't say. You get in

627
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: trouble for when you say the wrong things.

628
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: No, and it is one of those things because like

629
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: you know, I'm somebody who's in press conferences. I wouldn't

630
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: say every day, but like I'm an NFL beat reporter

631
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: that also happens to do talk radio. So I do

632
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: this for a living in some form or fashion where

633
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: you'll get a lot of feedback from fans on this

634
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 2: subject matter much less serious than this. But a question

635
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: that you feel compelled to ask is a member of

636
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: the independent media, certainly to a figure where you probably

637
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: are not going to get an answer with any kind

638
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 2: of clarity, or an answer that's not been heavily vetted

639
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: and heavily lawyered and all these different things, certainly around

640
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: a situation like this. So you'll get some feedback from

641
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: fans from time to time, and I'm not going to

642
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: do the you know, media pulpit wagging my finger at

643
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: fans being like, no, you don't understand how important our

644
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: jobs are. Right, But it's one of those things where

645
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: they're like, why even bother to ask the question. It's

646
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: stupid for you to waste the time. You're wasting our time,

647
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: you're wasting their time. You know you're not going to

648
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: get the answer that you want or that you're looking for,

649
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: or any kind of an answer of consequence other than

650
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: that heavily vetted lawyer's statement about a subject like this.

651
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that you still don't ask the question right, Like,

652
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: that's the thing on the off chance that one of

653
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: those figures actually give you in an honest moment, as

654
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: opposed to one of these moments that's doctored and cliched

655
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: and coach speaked to death. No, you still ask the question,

656
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: even if you know that you're going down a path

657
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: that is more likely than not futile. Every once in

658
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: a while, though, you get some legitimate clarity, whether that

659
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: person steps in it or not. Whilst giving clarity accidentally

660
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: is one of those things that you just kind of

661
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: you got to make sure that you're there for you

662
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: got to make sure that you're asking the question. So

663
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: it's a good job by the people who continue to

664
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: do that work despite the NFL making it a hell

665
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: of a lot harder for them to do that kind

666
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: of work, and.

667
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: The amount of time y'all that literally is put into

668
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: prepping those questions. I think it's interesting to me because

669
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: when I first got to ESPN, one of the things

670
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: that really stunned me their book is that they we

671
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: took a class like they had a seminar, multi day

672
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: seminar at the time. They no longer have it, but

673
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: they had it when I first got there, I was

674
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: one of the last people to get to take it,

675
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: and it was a training method on best interview practices,

676
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: So you were taught to you not ask yes or

677
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: no questions, to form your questions in a way that

678
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: forces them to answer. To not ask what they call

679
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: double barreled questions, so don't ask two questions at once.

680
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: People avoid the answer they don't want. Like, we went

681
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: through all of these different trainings to try and figure

682
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: out the best way to craft our questions. And I

683
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: thought a lot about that because when I was at

684
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: the college football National Championship Game a couple of years ago,

685
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: I watched at the time, Harball was everybody wanted to

686
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: talk to Harball and there were so many questions around

687
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: everything that had happened in Michigan. Donich came to the

688
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: front of the and there were probably thirty of us

689
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: within five feet of Harball, and I had spent all

690
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: morning working on three different questions that I really wanted

691
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: to be able to fire off at Harball. Should I

692
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: get the opportunity. Heather walked up and we all knew

693
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: that she was like, somebody was going to have to

694
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: ask the tough question first. With all the cheating scandals

695
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 1: and everything that was going on, and Heather volunteered, and

696
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: I have never seen somebody ask such a I don't

697
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: remember the exact of her question, but she asked it

698
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: in such a way that forced an answer. It was stunning,

699
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: and she did it effortlessly, and I watched Harbaugh dance it,

700
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, in that moment, my questions are

701
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: pointless because if he just danced around somebody that brilliant,

702
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: that has constructed the perfect question, then he is so

703
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: trained and so ready for this. None of us are

704
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: going to get anything out of him. And by god,

705
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: we all tried for half an hour to get him

706
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: to answer something and got nothing out of him the

707
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: entire time.

708
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: Another proud Indiana University alum, Heather Dnich, out there.

709
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: Love Heather. Heather is absolutely the best, no doubt about it.

710
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Finn again. You heard some

711
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: of the breaking news in the NBA. We've got a

712
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: little bit of scandal. We've got a suspension for Paul George.

713
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: We are gonna figure out what exactly that means. Plus

714
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna figure out if I turned Buck into

715
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: a WWE fan we'll figure it out after the break.

716
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: Fucking fits on Fox Sports Radio. He's Buck Rising. I'm

717
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Jason Fitz. It's bucking fits on Fox Sports Radio. Buck's

718
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: a hairy dude, so you know that. You know, he

719
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: sits in there and sometimes and thinks you ever wiped

720
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: with a piece of dry toilet paper and wondered, is

721
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: this as good as it gets? It is not switched

722
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: to life changing wet extra large flushable dude wipes, especially

723
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: if you're hairy as he is, because wetter just cleans better.

724
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: My god, Wetter just cleans better. Buck available at Amazon

725
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: and a major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean pants down.

726
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: I just love saying pants down as I look at

727
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: Buck on FaceTime and he knows that he can't say

728
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: anything back because you.

729
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: Know, I just didn't cap that. That's the closest thing

730
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 2: the enemacy you've had in a while. And I don't

731
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: know whether I should be flattered or very want to

732
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: see it.

733
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh that is fair. I had that comment. I walked

734
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: right into that. Every step of the way. He's bucket sizing.

735
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 2: You couldn't handle it. Keep it moving, all right, all that,

736
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: keep it moving?

737
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: That is also, I couldn't, wouldn't, won't either way. Either way,

738
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: it's just a little bit gross for all of us. Oh,

739
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: here's what we know. We did get some NBA news

740
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: today that I think has seventy six Ers fans either

741
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: reeling or laughing. I can't figure it out. Paul George

742
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: has been banned for twenty five games for taking and

743
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: this is important improper medication. So, in a statement to

744
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: Sham's George said quote, over the past few years, I've

745
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course

746
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: of recently seeking treatment for an issue on my own,

747
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: I made the mistake of taking an improper medication. I

748
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the

749
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: Sixers organization, my teammates, and the Philly fans for my

750
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: poor decision making. During this process, I'm focused on using

751
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: this time to make sure that my mind and body

752
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: are in the best condition to help the team when

753
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 1: I returned. The suspension begins Saturday night. It'll be eligible

754
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 1: return March twenty fifth, at home against the Chicago Bulls.

755
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: The apology is well stated by Paul George. The amount

756
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: of detail he gives us here makes it very clear

757
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: on what he was intending to do. And I realize that,

758
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: especially when we talk about mental health, everybody gets very

759
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: cautious on clapping back to it. Here's my only thing

760
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: that I always say with these things, bucket. You know

761
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: that's covering an NFL team. For anyone that doesn't know,

762
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: every single team in every single major sport has a

763
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: guy that you can take whatever you're thinking of putting

764
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: in your body. And I mean I'm talking about protein.

765
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you want to take the new clear

766
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: protein you found at Target, you can take it to

767
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 1: this guy first, and that guy does one thing, test

768
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: it and make sure that that product is fine. So

769
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: whatever you ever chose, and I'm talking supplements, if your

770
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: doctor prescribes something, all of these things, anything you're putting

771
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: in your body, you can take to the team and

772
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: the team will test it. And if the team tests it,

773
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 1: then you are fully clear. Even if for some reason

774
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: you failed with that prospect, the team takes the blame.

775
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: So to me, the hard part about this is that

776
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: not that Paul George took something he's claiming I guess

777
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: that was to help him, you know, with his mental health.

778
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: That's fine. You need something for your mental health. Take

779
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: something to take care of your mentals. But it takes

780
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: a day to just walk into your team and be like, hey,

781
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: before I start taking these, can you guys just run

782
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: this through the computer, test it and make sure I'm

783
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: not violating any agreements. I have sympathy for the statement

784
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: the way that Paul George has stated it, But to me, Buck,

785
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: this is so simple when it comes to the fact

786
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: that he chose not to get it tested well.

787
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: And that's the thing, right to your point, I mean,

788
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 2: even if the team doesn't have somebody in house, because

789
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 2: I actually covered a situation like this, to your point

790
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 2: of working working in the NFL with Taylor Lawan, the

791
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 2: Titans left tackle a couple of years ago. He was

792
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: a three time pro bowler at the time, got popped

793
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: for a PD suspension, ended up having to miss I

794
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 2: think it was four games if I remember correctly, the

795
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 2: NFL's fine and suspension scheduling situation, and it was one

796
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: of those things where and I don't you know, I

797
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: don't want to speak offhand, and Taylor talks about this

798
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: on his own podcast, obviously busting with the boys that

799
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 2: they do out of Nashville. Here, I can't remember how

800
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,359
Speaker 2: many different supplements he was taking. But basically his argument was, well,

801
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 2: when they the the supplements that were taking, a lot

802
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 2: of them are prepared on the same kind of like surface. Essentially,

803
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: there may be some some things that get a little mixed.

804
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: There may be a trace of this in a little

805
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: bit of that where these supplements I know to be

806
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: cleared by the NFL, but all of a sudden they're

807
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 2: getting popped for something that I wasn't taking. And listen,

808
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 2: I imagine a situation where a lot of people who

809
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 2: take supplements may not know the extent of what's in

810
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: them or how many different things come across that same path. Right.

811
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: It's like those little warning labels on some food like

812
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: this place or this item was prepared in a place

813
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: where there's peanut. If you have peenut analogies or something

814
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 2: like that, just be aware. Maybe the actual item doesn't

815
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: have any peanuts in it, but it's prepared in a

816
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: place that you know may have traces and come across

817
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: and it may give you an allergic reaction or something

818
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: to that effect. But it's just one of those things

819
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: like you're being careless, right if you don't go to

820
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: the full extent of all the different resources that you

821
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: have available, because now you're going to cost yourself some

822
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 2: significant money. Now the Sixers will get that back in

823
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: terms of a luxury tax credit. I think it'll end

824
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: up costing him a little north of eleven million dollars

825
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: if I read the reporting on this correctly. It's also

826
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 2: going to impact the Sixers and what they do with

827
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. Honestly, with twenty five games as a

828
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 2: part of this band, it's a huge thing. So to

829
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 2: your point, you don't want to you don't want to

830
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 2: shame or or you know, attack or criticize a person

831
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: who's doing something for the sake of mental health, because

832
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 2: of course those things are incredibly important and everybody should

833
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: be taking every precaution and every measure that to ensure

834
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 2: that they have the best state of mind humanly possible.

835
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: But also just be cognizant of you're a professional athlete.

836
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: People are going to drug test you and you know,

837
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: all manner of different things on a regular basis, and

838
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 2: if you didn't just take the you know, the twenty

839
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: minutes that it probably takes to reach out and be like, hey,

840
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to take this. Is it Okay, Can

841
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: you guys have somebody you know test this for me

842
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: to make sure that it's okay. Can we clear this

843
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: through the league, all these different things so that you

844
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 2: can take whatever it is that you need. It's it's

845
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 2: a very very small step that can cost you huge

846
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 2: amounts of money in the case of Paul George.

847
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. Like Jeff Black is my

848
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: trainer in Nashville, and he has me taking a bunch

849
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: of supplements. He sends me all the.

850
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 2: Way, no fine, no fine for the trainer. Drop what happened, Jeff.

851
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm giving him free pop. He's changed my life. That's

852
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: not that's not a name job. But but hey, look,

853
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I don't read the reports, but I'm

854
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: not an athlete. If you're an athlete, you can lose

855
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: all your money. You protect yourself. More bucking fits coming

856
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: up next Fox Sports Radio. You're listening to Fox Sports

857
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: Radio Radio. The Super is a week and a day away,

858
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: and I'm still trying to figure out how everybody feels

859
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: about this one, because sometimes it feels like the matchups

860
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: a year ago. I was hearing, Oh my god, I'm

861
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: tired of the Chiefs. I feel like we had fatigue

862
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: so much, and this year in the playoffs what we

863
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: got was unprecedented. This year in the playoffs, we've ended

864
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: up with the least likely super Bowl in at least

865
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: the last fifty years according to Vegas odds for these

866
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: two teams. So the question is, why does it feel

867
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: like everybody's still sort of blase on the entire thing.

868
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: He's Buck Rising, I'm Jason fitz bucking Fits on Fox

869
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Maybe it's because it's the Patriots and the

870
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: Patriots are back and they weren't gone that long. Maybe

871
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: it's because it's the Seahawks and people don't love West

872
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: Coast football. I don't know, Buck, but do you from

873
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: where you're sitting, do you feel the same level of

874
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: build up this year that we felt, for example, for

875
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs Eagles, Because maybe to your point that you've made,

876
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: and I think you're actually spot on on, like you

877
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: talked earlier about how we rarely spend time celebrating thectories,

878
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: but we spend so much time feeling the losses. We

879
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: love as a society covering sports to focus on the negative.

880
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: So when a team wins, more often than not, it's

881
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: what did that team do to lose. It's very rarely. Ooh,

882
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: do we just need to credit this team? So maybe

883
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: we spent most of last year figuring out if the

884
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: Eagles were broken and if this was the end of

885
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and maybe the Chiefs weren't good enough. We

886
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: had enough negative storylines. It just feels like this year

887
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: right now, with the most improbable Super Bowl we've seen

888
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: in the last fifty years, it doesn't feel like there's

889
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: this snowball of momentum of everybody can't wait to get

890
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: to the game a week and a day away.

891
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I'm probably the wrong person to ask this

892
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 2: question for one simple reason because, as the audience may

893
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 2: or may not know, fitzis in Connecticut, our wonderful producing

894
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 2: our production staff is in Los Angeles, and I'm in Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee,

895
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 2: where the Titans exist and where the Tennessee Titans have

896
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 2: been an unholy suffering these last few years, correlating in

897
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: part to the firing of Mike Rabel. In this particular situation,

898
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: the interest in the Super Bowl is massive from a

899
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: local standpoint, and I do a local talk show here

900
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 2: in Nashville, on top of the work that FITZI and

901
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: I do for Fox Sports and I cover the Tennessee

902
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: Titans on a daily basis. The Robert solid press conference

903
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: he was hired by the Titans. For people that don't

904
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: know he's introduced this week is several other coaches were

905
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: introduced this week. And there's still two jobs, by the way,

906
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: that are out there waving in the wind, your beloved

907
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Raiders, still waiting around to hire somebody. Fitzi,

908
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: the interest in the Super Bowl is huge because it

909
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 2: would be every Mike Rabel win is a Tennessee Titans loss,

910
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: and really an ownership loss. The controlling owner, Amy Adams struck.

911
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: And there was a little bit of good pr this week,

912
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: and I know Jets fans have plenty of strong opinions.

913
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, who's normally on this show with as a

914
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 2: diehard Jets fan, he was expressing his lack of appreciation

915
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: for the sala era as a New York Jets coach

916
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 2: and making some jokes to that effect about what my

917
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 2: experience was going to be like covering this man. But

918
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: the Rabel thing looms large right This press conference that

919
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: the Titans just had for Robert Salah will fade, and

920
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 2: if Mike Rabel goes out there and wins the Super

921
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: Bowl in his first year as the head coach of

922
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots, two years and a couple of

923
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks removed from being fired by the

924
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans, who are just god forsaken without him. In

925
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, they've won six games since

926
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 2: he was fired. He has won as many games since

927
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 2: December twenty first. That was the fact that was floating

928
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 2: around after the Patriots advanced from the AFC Championship to

929
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl under Mike Rable. So here in Nashville,

930
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: maybe nowhere else, there is a lot of interest in

931
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 2: this particular Super Bowl, a lot of people rooting both

932
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: for and against Mike Vrabel in this particular Super Bowl

933
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: for Titans fans who want to be vindicated and me like, no,

934
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: he wasn't that great at the end of his tenure.

935
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: Here Patriots fans will see blah blah blah blah blah,

936
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: and the ones who are pissed at their organization for

937
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: firing a guy who does have above average abilities as

938
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 2: a coach and in fact has a bit of a

939
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 2: superpower as a coach that at a lot of coaches

940
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: don't have. He just outdid Sean Payton in the AFC

941
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: Championship game using that superpower as far as in game

942
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: management between him and John Striker, who's his right hand

943
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: man up in a booth for these things. So from

944
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: my standpoint, I'm fascinated by this game. But I also

945
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: have a very very specific slant, and the city of Nashville,

946
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: where I live, has a very very specific slant on

947
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 2: this particular Super Bowl.

948
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, and look, I'm sitting in the thick in New England,

949
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: and I thought that, sitting in the thick of Patriots country,

950
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 1: that I would feel this great sort of surge around

951
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: me of the ever obnoxious Patriots fans. And I do

952
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: mean that, ever of NOx And let me let me

953
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: We're on in Hartford at the local radio station here,

954
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 1: the local Fox A Phillyate. I love, I love everything here,

955
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: but Patriots fans, we can all admit. Like the minute

956
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: I sit at a bar and I hear Patriots fans say, oh,

957
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: We're finally good again, I want to throw up a

958
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: little bit. And to be clear, I want to be

959
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: thrown up, and I want to throw up on that

960
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: fan like you have a I mean, yeah, no, one

961
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Like, let me say this loud and proud.

962
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: Two things that I can I can admit very honestly

963
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: as a grown ass man. Number One, it was a fumble.

964
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as to talk. Number Two like,

965
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: y'all have no room to talk about suffering. Oh, Patriots fans,

966
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: but I still haven't even here felt that that level

967
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: of hype that you feel, Like, honestly, I'm not that

968
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: close to Philly at all where I live regionally in Connecticut,

969
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: but boy, you felt like you could hear Philadelphia fans

970
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: halfway across the country last year getting ready for the

971
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You could feel just the swell of Eagles

972
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: fans coming in and saying, no, we're getting this. Chiefs

973
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: fans kid did every year. And they still talk their talk.

974
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: They're still out here. Yep, yep, yep, yep in the

975
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: whole time. What you have right now is the Seahawks

976
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: fan base that I think is relatively quiet. I honestly

977
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 1: the twelve are amazing. But when you think about what

978
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: it's like on any given day on Twitter, if I

979
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: were to go out today and just tweet out Sam

980
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: Donald sucks and shouldn't be a starting quarterback. By the way,

981
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: that is not my take. But if I were to

982
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: tweet that out, how much how much I hate tweet

983
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: when I get in return for that a little bit,

984
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 1: a little bit. But if I were to go out

985
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: and tweet the very same thing about a year ago

986
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: right now, if I'd have tweeted out Jalen hurts as

987
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: a clown and doesn't belong as a starting quarterback, oh

988
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: my god, I would have been ripped, like the same thing.

989
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes is overrated, not even top five. I'd have been ripped.

990
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: If I go out now and I'm like, Patriots are

991
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: getting lucky. Oh, there's a group of Patriots fans that

992
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: come back and see and if I come out and

993
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: say Sam Donald sucks, a handful of Seahawks fans that

994
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: will say, we'll prove it to you the Super Bowl.

995
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,720
Speaker 1: I just don't think that there's the same level of combativeness,

996
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: which I think, you know, speaks to the way that

997
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: we cover sports now. If there is not a contentious angle,

998
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: then it feels like it's not as anticipated.

999
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think Patriots fans for the most part,

1000
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: are honestly just happy to be here. Right, like, just

1001
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: happy to be back in their estimation in a game

1002
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 2: which they have dominated for you know, the better part

1003
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 2: of two decades prior to this, and Tom Brady moving

1004
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: on to Tampa Bay and then ultimately ending his football

1005
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 2: career there.

1006
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: The wait, let me double down on this for a second.

1007
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: They're happy to be back. Do you think that if

1008
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: their core Patriots fans just expect to win this game?

1009
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. No. I mean to your point

1010
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: about fan entitlement, maybe there ain't no more entitled fan

1011
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 2: base than the New England Patriots. And you know what,

1012
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: justifiably so, the rest of the NFL consuming public is

1013
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 2: incredibly jealous of your success, and most fans, if not

1014
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: the if not by consensus, hate you for it. I

1015
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: mean much so that I know the Belichick news is

1016
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 2: a bit old now, but like there are good explanations

1017
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: as to why Belichick isn't getting into the Hall of Fame,

1018
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 2: there are more people who are not offering their opinions

1019
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: on why they didn't vote for Bill Belichick to get

1020
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame as a first ballot kind

1021
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 2: of guy, despite his just un not debatable status as

1022
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 2: the most accomplished coach in the history of the National

1023
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: Football League. There are plenty of people who are at

1024
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: least saying one thing publicly and probably did another when

1025
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 2: it came to their ballot because they're still pissed about

1026
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 2: Spygate or something like that. Right that exists. So I

1027
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,959
Speaker 2: do think Patriots fans expect to win this game because

1028
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 2: they've been told it every turn that they're not gonna

1029
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 2: win games against meaningful teams, and they've beaten the Chargers

1030
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 2: and the Texans and the Broncos to get to this point,

1031
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: who are actually quality football teams as opposed to their

1032
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: regular season schedule, which was of course the easiest by

1033
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: win percentage of opponents. People in the Pacific northwester are

1034
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: not going to be super combative like there are Seahawks fans.

1035
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: They are, of course passionate. You see that. I've done

1036
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 2: a couple of games in Seattle at this point when

1037
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: the Titans make the rear trip out there, and it's

1038
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: an awesome environment, The place is incredibly passionate about the Seahawks.

1039
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 2: The Seahawks are an incredibly successful franchise that way, and

1040
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: they probably are also, like Patriots fans, just kind of

1041
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: happy to be here because I don't think anybody expected them,

1042
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: much less Seahawks fans to sign Sam Darnold and then

1043
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 2: that be the thing that put them over the top

1044
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 2: in some former fashion to getting to a super Bowl. Now,

1045
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,520
Speaker 2: I mean, the loudest representation of Seahawks fandom is where

1046
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 2: it's our friend meet to Kimes on ESPN, who's got

1047
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, the last super Bowl victory for Seattle tattooed

1048
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: on her body at this point, Like, and she is

1049
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 2: the representative of many of them and their passion and that,

1050
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: but like, there's not that many. There's not that many

1051
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: front facing representation for Seahawks fandom that way. Like cowboys

1052
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: former cowboys are all over your televisions all the time

1053
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: on every network, Right, That's just what it is. And

1054
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 2: that's fine, no slight to them, but you just have

1055
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: you have two fan bases on opposite sides of the

1056
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: country that don't have I mean, they have the animosity

1057
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 2: of the Malcolm Butler, you know, Pete Carroll should have

1058
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: run the ball with Marshawn Lynch situation. But even then,

1059
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,920
Speaker 2: like all the pieces and parts from those two teams

1060
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: are vastly different, and there is not that same visceral

1061
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 2: connection no matter how many times in the lead up

1062
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl we see the highlights of Brady

1063
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: and Butler and Russell and Marshaw and Pete and Bill

1064
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 2: and all these different things. It's a completely different football world,

1065
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,959
Speaker 2: even though the brands of the teams are the same.

1066
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: If you need a completely different world, you need to

1067
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: switch your wipe. Have you ever wiped with a piece

1068
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: of dry toilet paper and wondered, is this as good

1069
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: as it gets? It isn't switched to life changing wet

1070
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: extra large flushable dudewipes because wetter just cleans better. Available

1071
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: to Amazon and major retailers nationwide. Dude wipes best clean

1072
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: pants down all right. From teams in the Super Bowl

1073
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: to as Buck just mentioned, we've seen a bunch of

1074
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: new hires. But there's one team in particular that today

1075
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 1: made a higher that I think could raise a ton

1076
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 1: of question marks at their offensive coordinator position. We'll tell

1084
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: with you on Fox Sports Radio. By the way, amc Plainville,

1085
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: get your damn ice machines working months months, not that's

1086
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 1: not the last week. Don't tell me it's the storms.

1087
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: Don't tell me about from months for months. Go in there,

1088
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: you get the soda, and then here's what happens like

1089
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: cause I like to go to the movies late at night, right,

1090
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: and so inevitably what happens like late at night I

1091
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: go to like the seven pm movie. There's still most

1092
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: nights to ten pm movie. But what happens is all

1093
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: the kids working behind the counter, what they really want

1094
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: to do is shut down early. So during that movie

1095
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: they start shutting down every one of the machines. And

1096
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: the machines never generate enough ice. So when you come

1097
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: out midway through the movie and you're like, oh, we'll

1098
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 1: get some more soda right now, you just put some

1099
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: ice in, get more diet coke, Like if you're meat,

1100
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: you know they got the diet rupier there, so I

1101
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: get the diet vanilla roopier on the coke freestyle feel losting, right,

1102
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: I love every ounce of it. There's never any damn ice,

1103
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: and then inevitably I have to then DM AMC and

1104
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you guys, don't have ice in the

1105
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: soda machines again, and they're like, sorry, we'll give you

1106
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: some reward points. And I'm like, just every time, and

1107
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: just put ice in the machines. Good god, you still

1108
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: have ten PM movies. I'm coming out at nine pm.

1109
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: You got no ice in the coke machine?

1110
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 2: Come on, Mary Brie. Have you all seen the I

1111
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 2: think the commercials are for progressive don't where you start

1113
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 2: trying to keep you from becoming your parents. You sending

1114
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:53,840

Speaker 2: at you know, your cable provider or something like that,

1116
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,359
Speaker 2: when your service goes down. That's the oldest you've ever

1117
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 2: been in mind time.

00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: give me points. I haven't paid for a soda at

Speaker 1: AMC in like a year because they give you a

1123
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: ton of points. And every time I'm like, okay, well,

1124
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: I'll just add the reward points. Like as we sit

Speaker 2: I'm I'm not a coupon clipper either, what he's basically

1133
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: described as a digital.

1134
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: Coupon in corporation. You're telling me you don't got no ice?

1135
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, especially like oh went over the summer. Over

1136
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: the summer, I stood there, I waited, I got my

1137
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: my soda. I spent the whatever eight dollars on the

1138
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: large soda, right and I'm walking back on my large

1139
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 1: soda and I go to get the ice and none

1140
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: of the machines work. And I go back to the counter.

1141
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, there's no ice there, and she's like,

1142
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: oh yeah, the machines can't really keep up with the heat,

1143
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: so we haven't had ice all day. I'm like there's

1144
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: a grocery store across the street. Crazy, if you have

1145
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: no ice, send somebody across the damn street buy some ice,

1146
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: like or when I go to order the soda, tell me, hey,

1147
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 1: before you pay for this, just heads up, we don't

1148
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: have any ice in the ice machine. If you choose

1149
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: not to tell me, and you choose not to send

1150
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: an employee right across the street to get dice, I'm

1151
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna choose to get my ten bucks back for that soda.

1152
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 1: There's no two ways. That does not make me an

1153
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: old man.

1154
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 3: No.

1155
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 2: In fact, all it does is strengthen my case for

1156
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 2: that rejoint on why I don't go to movie theaters.

1157
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: You are going to movie theaters with warm soda, you know,

1158
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 2: disgruntled employees, disingenuous or dishonest corporations who are not telling

1159
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 2: you that the ice machine is not working. On top

1160
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: of paying ten dollars for a soda at That is

1161
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: the greatest crime that you could have possibly committed in

1162
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: the middle of this explanation, the fact that you are

1163
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 2: going out of your way to sit in one of

1164
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 2: these sticky ass movie theaters and drink a soda that

1165
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 2: cost you ten dollars whilst it's being warm.

1166
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm paying. I'm paying ten bucks in my soda.

00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: morning right here on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart app.

1202
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: We've had some hirings. We do not yet have a

1203
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 1: head coach hiring. I fully expect that we are going

1204
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: to find out by this time tomorrow that Clint Kubiak

1205
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: has agreed to become the next coach of the Las

1206
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. I believe that that will be the way

1207
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 1: that this thing goes down. It should be noted for

1208
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: anyone not aware of the way the policies and procedures work.

1209
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 1: Because he is still coaching on a team that is

1210
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: active in their season. He cannot sign a deal. He

1211
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: can only come to a verbal agreement, so he can

1212
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: spend the next week coming to verbal agreements with his staff.

1213
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: He can do all of these things, but the Raiders

1214
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: cannot actually sign Clint Kubiak to be their head coach

1215
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: until after the Super Bowl. I fully expect that he

1216
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: is going to We're going to get the leak from

1217
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 1: Chefty by this time tomorrow that Kubiak will be the

1218
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: next head coach of the Raiders, and then we'll see

1219
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: what domino falls for the Cardinals. From there, we'll see

1220
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: where that plays out. But the Ravens made a higher today,

1221
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: right on. Yeah.

1222
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 2: Professional broadcaster Jason Fitz does the idea of Clint Kubiak

1223
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: being your next head coach excite?

1224
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: You?

1225
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 2: Are you You've you've seem resign you just sighed heavily

1226
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 2: into the microphone, as if you've just seen the Raiders,

1227
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 2: you know, give up another sack of Gino Smith or

1228
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 2: throwing an interception like what's wrong with you?

1229
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: Seventeen head coaches if you include interims since the year

1230
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 1: two thousand, Well, seventeen head coaches since if you include

1231
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: interim So to me, who hell knows? And I've said

1232
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: this to you on your local show, I will remind

1233
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: everybody go back and look. I did this while I

1234
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,200
Speaker 1: was at ESBN. I looked at the ESPN dot com

1235
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: rankings of the head coaching hires every year for a

1236
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: five year period up until the point that I left

1237
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: the company, and every one of those rankings was so wrong,

1238
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: so wrong. So here's what I know. I know that

1239
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak is a really talented offensive play caller. I

1240
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: have zero doubt that Clint Kubiak can come in and

1241
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 1: run a great offense. He's putting on a masterclass with

1242
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: Brady calling these games. He gets to talk to Brady

1243
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: on this. I think that there's a real sense of

1244
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: what all of that means. I have heard from multiple

1245
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: people at this point that he doesn't have a huge

1246
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: presence of a personality, and I think you can hear

1247
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: that from a lot of the media when you hear

1248
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: people say, well, he's not the biggest personality in the

1249
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: room more when he interviews it, it doesn't necessarily pop

1250
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: the same way. I don't think that that's a negative necessarily,

1251
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: but I do wonder if there is some hesitation on

1252
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: whether or not he's got that vibrant factor that we expect.

1253
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: But that being said, there's nothing more awkward than duo

1254
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: and it worked out just fine with Liam Cohen. So like,

1255
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that you have to be a rock star,

1256
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: but I do think that I've heard from enough people

1257
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: that he's a little bit quiet as a dude that

1258
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: I wonder how that works in every locker room. So

1259
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, buck that's the answers. I just don't know.

1260
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I was having a conversation about this with

1261
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 2: Dave McGinnis, who used to be the coach of Cardinals.

1262
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 2: He's the Titans radio analyst here in Nashville where I live,

1263
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 2: and the idea that I had heard one we were

1264
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: just coming off of Robert Solaz press conference on Thursday,

1265
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: and I was talking to Mac about this On Friday,

1266
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 2: I have heard several interviews of players talking about and

1267
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 2: talked to former players current players about like what do

1268
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 2: you want in a head coach? And Fitzy almost to

1269
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 2: a man, I feel like the response that I get

1270
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: back is is, well, even if you're an offensive player,

1271
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 2: you want a guy with a defensive mentality. Now what

1272
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: does that mean? Because Ben Johnson is somebody who clearly

1273
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: has an attacking, aggressive personality as an offensive minded head coach,

1274
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: but he is I think a little bit outside the

1275
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 2: norm for an offensive coordinator, former offensive coordinator now offensive

1276
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: play calling head coaching in terms of the way that

1277
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: he carries himself. Right. I mean, we just saw this

1278
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: cycle where all of these defensive background guys are getting hired,

1279
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: and that's more often the kind of coach that you

1280
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 2: find on that side of the ball. Not to say

1281
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: that Ben Johnson's the only aggressive, attacking mentality offensive coordinator

1282
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 2: out there. I'm sure all of them are going out

1283
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: there trying to score points on every drive and when

1284
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 2: they don't, they're pissed. But I look at Mike McDaniel,

1285
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 2: I look at Brian Callahan, who I just covered here

1286
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: in Tennessee, who got fired as a know a lot

1287
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 2: more of the offensive guys, offensive coordinators turned head coaches

1288
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 2: are a little more laid back. You don't see a

1289
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 2: lot of Shanahan attitude guys like that coming. And we

1290
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: all know that Kyle's got a little bit of you

1291
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 2: know stuff to him as far as the way that

1292
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: he approaches at McVeigh is obviously another one of these.

1293
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 2: It's not like they don't exist. You can cite multiple examples,

1294
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 2: so maybe they're not as hard to find as I

1295
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: feel like it's become. But I just think there's more

1296
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 2: of a trend with those dudes on the offensive side

1297
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: of the ball that that doesn't necessarily translate as an

1298
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: NFL head coach, especially if you want that attacking, aggressive

1299
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 2: mentality to bleed through to every level of your organization,

1300
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 2: to trickle down how you message, how you approach things.

1301
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's it's an interesting, an interesting kind of

1302
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 2: case study in the Raiders. I mean, he'll be the

1303
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 2: only one with an offensive play calling background other than McCarthy,

1304
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: right this cycle to get hired. Is that right?

1305
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: And that is right? And it'll be it'll be interesting

1306
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 1: to see because the Raiders are going to have to

1307
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: offer unprecedented length security and money for it. When you've

1308
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: had as many coaches as they've had, they are going

1309
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 1: to have to overpay. And I don't think it's an

1310
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,959
Speaker 1: accident that the Cardinals and the Raiders are both still

1311
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: interested in Clint Kubiak. You mentioned Ben Johnson. It should

1312
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 1: be noted Clint Kubiak and Ben Johnson shared the same agent,

1313
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: so certainly knows how to get his guy top dollar

1314
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: and certainly knows how to get his guy somewhere. So

1315
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: multiple reports that they've had very long meetings with the

1316
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Raiders and with Clint Kubiak. We'll see. I would expect

1317
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: something to come together in the next day. I'll get

1318
01:02:34,760 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: you caught up on the Ravens hired today. But first,

1319
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: Martin wis, why don't get us caught up on the scoreboard?

1320
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: What's going on right now? Brother?

1321
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 6: New York Giants co owner Steve Tish has been named

1322
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 6: in the latest Epstein files, his name appearing four hundred

1323
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 6: and forty times among the release documents. Just release a

1324
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 6: statement Friday saying he and Epstein had a brief association

1325
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 6: where we exchange emails about adult women. In addition, we

1326
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 6: discussed movies, philanthropy, and in best I did not take

1327
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 6: him up on any of his invitations or and never

1328
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 6: went to his island.

1329
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: As we all know now, he.

1330
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 6: Was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.

1331
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 6: Paul George has been suspended without pay for twenty five

1332
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 6: games for violing the viol eight team the NBA's anti

1333
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 6: drug policy. George released a statements saying he took improper

1334
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 6: medication while seeking treatment for mental health. Former Broncos defensive

1335
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 6: pass game coordinator Jim Leonards been hired by the Bills

1336
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 6: as their new defensive coordinator. The Hornets beat the Spurs

1337
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 6: one eleven to one oh six. Brandon Miller had twenty

1338
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 6: six points. Elsewhere in the NBA, the Hawks have a

1339
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 6: thirty four to twenty eight lead over the Pacers. Andrew

1340
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 6: Nemhart with fifteen points early Jalen Johnson with ten. In

1341
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 6: men's college basketball, we saw Arizona defeat stay undefeated, beating

1342
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 6: Arizona State eighty seven to seventy four. UCF upset Texas

1343
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 6: Tech eighty eight to eighty, Louisville over SMU, Duke over

1344

01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,040

1348
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 6: He was quiet for most of the first haf only

1349
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 6: had like seven points, but fellas back.

1350

Speaker 1: posted right after we get off the air. The Baltimore

1359
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Ravens made a higher and it just has me wondering

1360
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: what the better solution is sometimes, Buck, because certainly we

1361
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: saw the Bills make a change. Now. I think what

1362
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: the Bills told us this week is that Sean McDermott

1363
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: was the problem. Right like everybody else in the organization

1364
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: got promoted, Sean McDermott gets fired. It feels like they

1365
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: listened to Josh Allen In this process, Joe Brady, former

1366
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: offensive court now becomes the head coach, so much of

1367
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: that organization is staying in place. Their GM gets promoted

1368
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: to president of football Operations. The big change is essentially saying, hey,

1369
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, you're the reason we need a new voice.

1370
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 1: We're getting you out of here. You've seen the exact

1371
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: opposite in Baltimore. They hire offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. That

1372
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: may be a name not many of you know from

1373
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. He's twenty nine years old. He's literally the

1374
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: same age as Lamar. So for all of the what

1375
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: are the Ravens going to do with the head coaching

1376
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: position to replace the stability of Harball? And I thought

1377
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: they might go totally in a different direction. They go

1378
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: with Jesse Minter, who was in the building before. They

1379
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: bring in a defensive minded head coach, which seems weird

1380
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: because you know, part of this is you've got an

1381
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: MVP caliber quarterback every year? What are you doing to

1382
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 1: make the best of him? And the first thing that

1383
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: we see from that defensive minded head coaches he brings

1384
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 1: in a twenty nine year old Deckland Doyle that doesn't

1385
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: really have any strong ties to Lamar. So it just

1386
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: it feels really weird to look at this and try

1387
01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: and figure out, like, I'm not sure the right of

1388
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: roaches to make sure that Josh Allen has full say

1389
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: and everything. I'm also not sure that I read the

1390
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: tea leaves in the Ravens in a way that makes

1391
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. It's almost like they're sitting here saying,

1392
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna do what's good for us. Whether that works

1393
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,919
Speaker 1: for our massive salary cap pit quarterback or not. We'll

1394
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: see how that works. Buck. It just feels like a

1395
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 1: different strategy to me than most teams give when they

1396
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: have a two time could have been three time MVP

1397
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 1: on their roster.

1398
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing, right, because I saw some

1399
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 2: people having this conversation again. You know, I don't mean

1400
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 2: to bring every conversation we have today locally, but there's

1401
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 2: a lot of ties. Cam Ward here in Tennessee had

1402
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 2: expressed some level of interest and not some level of interest.

1403
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 2: He said he wanted to talk to every candidate that

1404
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: the Titans were going to bring in. They scheduled nineteen

1405
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 2: different interviews. Cam Ward was not going to talk to

1406
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 2: nineteen different people throughout the course the process, but Cam

1407
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: was very you know, public about what he wanted. And

1408
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 2: then Josh Allen obviously was heavily involved in the coaching

1409
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 2: search as you mentioned, and I saw a lot of

1410
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: commentary online being like, well, everybody's excited or rightfully saying

1411
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen has the right to be involved in

1412
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,919
Speaker 2: a coaching search and Cam or does it. Well, Josh

1413
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Allen has a significantly better resume than Cam Moore does.

1414
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 2: He's got more pelts on the wall for lack of

1415
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 2: a better term, and should as he gets ready to

1416
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 2: turn thirty and enter this pivotal stage of his career

1417
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 2: where the clock is ticking much faster once you hit

1418
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 2: that number as a professional quarterback than ever before. And

1419
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 2: Bill's fans and clearly their organization, and most importantly that

1420
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that the owner's a dope

1421
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 2: because that feels a bit personal, but displaying the behavior

1422
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: of a dope is probably the better way to categorize

1423
01:07:38,920 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 2: it in a way that doesn't feel like a personal

1424
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 2: attack on the guy Terry Pagoula, who just gives one

1425
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 2: of the most disastrous press conferences any of us have

1426
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 2: ever seen. As we talked about last week, I don't

1427
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 2: think I love the way that Steve Bashatti handled this

1428
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 2: at his press conference after they let go of Harbaugh.

1429
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,479
Speaker 2: And I'm sure people maybe you have maybe you haven't

1430
01:07:57,560 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 2: seen this talked about or seen clips from the press

1431
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 2: corp conference. He was asked specifically about Lamar's interest in

1432
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 2: being involved and his Bashadi's position as owner of the

1433
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 2: Ravens was I want his opinion, he has an opinion.

1434
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 2: I want all of our players' opinions. He does not

1435
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 2: have any say over who we ultimately hire. He is

1436
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,439
Speaker 2: more than entitled to his opinion. It's my team essentially,

1437
01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: And I'm paraphrasing here a little bit now, And maybe

1438
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 2: people felt maybe dis rubbed some people the wrong way

1439
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: from Steve Bushatti, but I like the perspective of feedback

1440
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 2: is welcome. But ultimately it's my decision because it's my organization,

1441
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 2: and that responsibility should and will fall on me. And

1442
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 2: that's exactly the way that they've gone about this, because

1443
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't. Players have as much power as

1444
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 2: they've ever had in the modern day NFL, but there

1445
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 2: is a balance that needs to be carefully orchestrated. If

1446
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 2: you're an NFL organization, and in particular owner, where you

1447
01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 2: can have these positions and these opinions that are that

1448
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: the players have whilst still separating church and state for

1449
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 2: lack of a better term, on okay, thank you for

1450
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: your feedback. We will certainly take this into account. And

1451
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 2: most importantly, you have to mean it right. They can't

1452
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 2: just be words. You have to have that level of

1453
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 2: trust from the players in you that you're actually hearing

1454
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: what they have to say, in factoring in some of

1455
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 2: this into your decision making, and if it ultimately ends

1456
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 2: going up one way or that the other, it's still

1457
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 2: the owner's decision to make and should be. You have

1458
01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 2: to have that org chart clearly enough to where players

1459
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 2: don't get too far ahead of themselves in terms of

1460
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 2: what that looks like. And all of a sudden you've

1461
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 2: got an Aaron Rodgers jet situation where he's taking off

1462
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of mandatory minicamp because he doesn't want

1463
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 2: to reschedule his Egypt trip. And then Robert Salah looks,

1464
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 2: you know, completely respect with all due respect and apt

1465
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 2: at the podium being like, you know, what do you

1466
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 2: want me to do here? Like he's Aaron Rodgers, He's not.

1467
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 2: He's telling me he's not coming, and he's telling me why,

1468
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 2: and now I'm gonna go hold Sauce Gardener a countable

1469
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 2: and his technique as poor, and Sauce is going to

1470
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 2: look at me and like, bleepe you, what are you

1471
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 2: going to tell me? You just let the quarterback go

1472
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:07,360
Speaker 2: to Egypt on mandatory mediicamp.

1473
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's the hard part is it makes

1474
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 1: so much sense to say we want our superstar players

1475
01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: to be involved in the decision making. I totally get that.

1476
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: The question you have to ask yourself sometimes is what

1477
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: happens then? Like what's next? Like what's the inevitability. Let's

1478
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: say in this situation, you decide you want to let

1479
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: Lamar have a voice, so Lamar comes into everything, and

1480
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: then let's just say that, you know, Lamar doesn't necessarily

1481
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: like the same guy that you do. Now what have

1482
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:37,919
Speaker 1: you done? Have you fractured your relationship with the quarterback

1483
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: even more because you turned around and said, hey, man,

1484
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 1: I want you to have a voice. Like that's great

1485
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: to say you want to have a voice, until you

1486
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: don't agree with that voice. So you know, that's where

1487
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 1: it gets a little bit contentious to me. So the

1488
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: concept of I want my quarterback in the room. I

1489
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: want my quarterback to feel this higher. I want to

1490
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: listen to my quarterback. That all makes tremendous sense until

1491
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you reach this situation where you don't agree with your

1492
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: quarter back on who gives you the best chance moving forward.

1493
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: And now by hiring the person that your quarterback didn't

1494
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: want instead of the person they did want, you may

1495
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: have made it tougher to keep your quarterback happy, which

1496
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens would need to consider. Frankly, given the fact

1497
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: that they are in a tenuous situation right on contractually

1498
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: with Lamar. Remember that his contract is guaranteed. He's got

1499
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,600
Speaker 1: a lot of money out there. They would like to

1500
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: sign him to an extension that spread some of this

1501
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: money out. They would like to find a way to

1502
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: move that cash around. They would like to get it

1503
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: locked into a more traditional NFL contract with money in

1504
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: the back end and signing bonuses, all these things. They

1505
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 1: want to do that, but to do that they need

1506
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: Lamar's blessing. So I don't know if you can like

1507
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: it's sort of a damned if you do and damned

1508
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: if you don't. If you invite him in the room,

1509
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: but you don't pick the person that he thinks you

1510
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: should pick. Now you've made it tougher to get him

1511
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: to sign the deals you want him to sign. If

1512
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: you don't make him feel like he had a voice

1513
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: in it, you could make it tougher for him to

1514
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: sign the deal that you need to sign. That's why

1515
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: it gets really complicated. But to your point, at some

1516
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: point or organizations can only worry about themselves. And that's

1517
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: just such a hard part of all of this because

1518
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: we feel like quarterback is everything. But as you have

1519
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: pointed out on this show since we've been working together

1520
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: last year, the best team beat the best quarterback. And

1521
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: your focus always has to be can I build the

1522
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: best team with the best quarterback possible around it? But

1523
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: you cannot become so beholden to your quarterback that you

1524
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: stop doing business the way you need to do as

1525
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: an NFL franchise. It's a weird spot to be in,

1526
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: not one I'm envious of at all. All Right, coming

1527
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:36,160

01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:06,640
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, probably the Manny and Petty, because just for

1561
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 2: no other reason then I enjoy the manicure pedicure experience.

1562
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 2: I want the little calf massage you get when you

1563
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 2: get the pedicure. I could live with pink nails for

1564
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 2: a good Manny Petty. I'm with that.

1565
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I so this is a segrament because you and I

1566
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 1: agree on our level of petticures. I mean, it's elite

1567
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: and it's one of the top things you can ever do. Gentlemen,

1568
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: treat yourself. Go out and get yourself a petticure, but

1569
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: also prepare a little bit if you haven't done that,

1570
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,240
Speaker 1: like don't gross about with your feet, like fic your

1571
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 1: feed up first. But I'm all in on this. I've

1572
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: actually never had a manicure, and no particular reason why.

1573
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 1: I've just never had a manicure. So maybe I add that, like, look,

1574
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'd rather have people

1575
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: look at the pink nails and think, oh, he's eccentric,

1576
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: then look like Chris Kirkpatrick at this point with the

1577
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,600
Speaker 1: pink hair, and I would say no offense to Chris Kirkpatrick.

1578
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, so you know, I'd rather have the pink

1579
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: fingernails and toenails. And I'm all in on that. Plus,

1580
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: now that there's Google Translate on everybody's phone, I cannot

1581
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: wait to just set it on my lap where people

1582
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: can see that it's open, so that the people that

1583
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: are giving me the pedicures know that whatever they're saying
