26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: Who said golf majors are hard to win? Look at

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: Colin Morricala two years and two months ago, he's graduating

28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: from college. He shows up at his first PGA Championship

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: that was in twenty twenty and wins. Now there was

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: no crowd, there, no gallery, and it felt like it was,

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he won the PGA Championship. There have been

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot of I don't want to say random players,

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: journeyman players. If you're gonna win a major, the PGA

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: used to be that championship, that major. Then he shows

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: up at Royal George for the Open Championship in wins,

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: makes his debut at the PGA wins, and his debut

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: at the Open Championship and wins. He's twenty four years

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: of eight. He had to hold off Jordan's speed, Louis

39
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Uste's and John Ram pick up the win. In the

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: post Tiger era, Morekawa enters a group of talented young

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: golfers capable of winning any major. But you start to

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: think some of these guys Keepka, Deshambo, Dustin Johnson, these

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: are all big guys who hit a long way. Colin

44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: morcala is five nine, one sixty. The era of parody

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: has pros and cons. You don't have a unifying figure

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: like Tiger, but you get constant drama at the majors.

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: It's not remember it used to be would you take

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Tiger of the field, And a lot of times you

49
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: would take Tiger. But if Colin Morrikawa can do this

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: and his first two tries Open Championship in the PGA,

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe he is a golfer to beat in the coming years.

52
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: We keep waiting for is it Rory hadn't won a

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: major in what seven years? Jordan Speith played well, but

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: it's been a four year drought there justin Thomas, you're

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: waiting for him to break through. Ricky Fowler disappeared, came back,

56
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: had a good final round. Phil shot an eighty the

57
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: first day at the Open Championship, but he did win

58
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: a major. You know, golf trying to figure out, or

59
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: at least we're trying to figure out who is going

60
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: to emerge and is there going to be that singular figure.

61
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson had his run, Jordan Speith had his run.

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: It feels like John rom It feels like he's right

63
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: on the cusp. But it all it does is illuminate

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: what Tiger did. When you know, every single weekend, every

65
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: single major, it was that guy. And now he had

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: a ten year run and then about a nine year run,

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: so he could not have been better, It felt like

68
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: in a ten year run, and then he couldn't have

69
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: been worse than a nine year run. You know, you

70
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: just had two careers basically, But that ten year run,

71
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: to me is as great a performance as you've seen

72
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: or golf has ever seen. Because he wasn't winning, he

73
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: was dominating. You know, when you're when you win the

74
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: US Open by what fifteen shots at Pebble Beach like that,

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: that just doesn't happen. But Colin Moore cow it seems

76
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: like he is a lot older than what he is

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: at age twenty four, first male golfer to win two

78
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: majors in his debut appearance. He also won the PGA

79
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: in his first attempt as well. But here you have

80
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: two majors and you're not even twenty five. He joins

81
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: Bobby Jones, Jane Sarah's and Jack Nicholas Sevy By a

82
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: staris Tiger Woods, Rory and Jordan Speed winning multiple majors

83
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: before turning twenty five. It's pretty impressive. And he seems

84
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: like a really impressive young young man. And when we

85
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: had him on after the PGA, he just I felt

86
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: like he's an old soul. He really You didn't think

87
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: the moment was too big for him. You keep thinking

88
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be too big for him, but it wasn't.

89
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: He was spectacular. That was wonderful, wonderful to watch. I

90
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: would I was rooting for the weather and I got

91
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: shut out because there was no wind, no rain. You know,

92
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: I've been there in Ireland where it's going sideways, there's hail,

93
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: it's there was snow one time, it's cold. But that's

94
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: what you kind of that's what you root for, I

95
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: think as a fan, because that's what's unique, that's different.

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: They don't play on courses like that. You know. Most

97
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: of the times they're going to places that they know

98
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: they're going to have nice weather. You go to the

99
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: British Open right off the coast, you should get one

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: day in there. They shouldn't manufacture like the Truman Show

101
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: with Jim Carrey where they created uh you know, there's

102
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: turbulent weather there where he's out on a boat, you know,

103
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: trying to drive him. Now, they should have big, big

104
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: wind turbines there and blowing in gustin. Jim Cantory over

105
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: there from the Weather Channel didn't get it, But congrats

106
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: to Colin Moore Kala with picking up his second championship.

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: All right, let's see best worst the weekend. We'll give

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: you hours, but we'll get some more phone calls coming up.

109
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Floria will join us. We'll talk about Cowboys and the Steelers.

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious of those two teams. You know, you have

111
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers who had an unbelievable year at least the

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: start of the year and then faded quickly. And then

113
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: you have the Cowboys that was just a mess. But

114
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: if you were going to look at who do you

115
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: think is going to have a better season, Cowboys or Steelers.

116
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys can't be worse. I was not sold on the Steelers.

117
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: I thought that was a very hollow record that they

118
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: had when they were undefeated. They did have a good defense,

119
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: but now you've added him running with Naja Harris. But

120
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: it comes down to Ben and I would not bet

121
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: on Ben in a situation like this. And then you

122
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: have Dak Prescott. How healthy is he going to be?

123
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott? The offensive line still comes down to the defense.

124
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: That's that's when I look at Dallas. I don't care

125
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: how many weapons you add. When you need to get

126
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: a stop, can you get one? And we've seen that

127
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. You can go up and down

128
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: the field and what's it come down to? The Niners

129
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: were going to win the Super Bowl, but there were

130
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: two really impressive defensive plays by Chris Jones of Kansas

131
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: City who won the Super Bowl. For the Buccaneers, their defense,

132
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: their pass rush, you have to have it at some

133
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: point in the season. And when you start to look

134
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: at Dallas, do they have that that player or players?

135
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: Do you have confidence in Mike McCarthy, I don't, but

136
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Dak I'm rooting for. I like him. He's been through

137
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot and now you've got to live up to

138
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: that paycheck because before well, that's a nice little story.

139
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: You know, you got him in with the third round

140
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he takes over and

141
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: he puts up a really good performance. All right, Okay,

142
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe he is a good quarterback. Maybe he's a

143
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: very good quarterback. Then he gets hurt. Now he comes back.

144
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Now you have the expectations, even added with what you're

145
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: being paid coming back from an injury, and you should

146
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: be the class of this division. Although I like Washington

147
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot, and I like Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I don't

148
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: want him to be in my starting quarterback. When you

149
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: win the division it's seven and nine. That's embarrassing for everybody.

150
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: Now you look at the Giants. Is Daniel Jones going

151
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: to take the next step? Sae Quon Barkley, what's his

152
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: role going to be? How healthy is he going to be?

153
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: When is he going to be healthy? The Eagles? What

154
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: are the Eagles doing? It feels like that's a rebuild

155
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: and you got Jalen Hurts, But can you get to

156
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson? And if you get to Shaun Watson that

157
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: ups the time frame here. The Steelers and the Browns

158
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: are going to be very good. You know, the Ravens

159
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: are usually pretty good. Cincinnati will be a little better,

160
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: but they're not going to be threatening. I mean, they

161
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: may steal a game from somebody here in the division,

162
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: but if you're the Steelers, this is it. This is

163
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the last last ride for Ben Roethlisberger. And I'm surprised

164
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: that they even got the gang together for one more

165
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: time unless they didn't see a quarterback they truly liked.

166
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: And I know they have Dwayne Haskins on the bench,

167
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,479
Speaker 1: they still you have guys who are basically backup quarterbacks,

168
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: backing up Ben Roethlisberger. But comes down to Ben ya

169
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: can he and he had good numbers last year, but

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: those were in the first ten or eleven game teams

171
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden didn't look good. Yeah,

172
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: you were mentioning the NFC East. I think the Giants

173
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: they're not that interesting, but their situation is interesting because

174
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: if the Giants don't do well, they'll probably not stick

175
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones because then he won't get that contract.

176
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: And also Sequon Barkley. If they're a rebuilding team or

177
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: a team with a rickey quarterback, they're not gonna give

178
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley a big second contract coming off an injury,

179
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: and with a ricky quarterback, you're starting over again. He

180
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: could be Jettison. Yeah, that's you know, we get into

181
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: that second contract for a running back, and if I

182
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: got a guy coming off a serious knee injury, first

183
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: of all, I don't want to do that. I don't

184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: want to have my running back into his second contract.

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: I want to use him as much as possible. So

186
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: whoever gets him after that, then they're getting a watered

187
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: down version of that at that position. But I think

188
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: the NFC East is interesting because I don't think Washington

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: is great. I think Dallas can be very good, and

190
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: you got the Giants, who I'm just not quite sure

191
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: if they can put all the pieces together. But Ryan

192
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick with Washington, that's he's a great story, he's a

193
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: great interview. I just don't think I think he can

194
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: win games and lose games for you. Yes, he's had

195
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: one of the more fascinating careers of the last I

196
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: don't even know how long, thirty years. Yeah, Yeah, this

197
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: is ninth team that he's starting for. Yeah, he's had

198
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: This will be his ninth team and he started at

199
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: least three games for each team. There's guys who jump

200
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: around and ride the pine. He's fifty nine to eighty

201
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: six as a starter, though he got a couple of

202
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: decent contracts yet there Yeah, I mean he's done okay.

203
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: And there are times when it usually is a game

204
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: that you go, oh, they're not gonna win, and then

205
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: they win and Ryan Fitzpatrick throws for you know, three

206
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: hundred yards, four touchdowns. A couple of phone calls in here,

207
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: then we'll take a break. Let's see John and Dayton.

Speaker 1: on Friday, and the worst was the Reds losing three

213
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: in a row to the Brewers. Wait, your wife wanted

214

Speaker 1: to go see the Reds on her birthday. Yeah, well

215
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: it was a surprise thing. I guess it was kind

216
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: of for me too, but you know, she had a

217

224

Speaker 1: like where where are we going? You're gonna find out

225

226
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: I promised you diamonds. It was a baseball diamond. Yeah. See,

227
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: there was years ago I had gotten a like this

228
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: is an ex girlfriend. She had just made an offhanded

229
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: comment about how she really wanted this like drill, like walt,

230
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: you know whatever drill. So for Christmas, I got her

231
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: that drill, thinking it would be like cute or like

232
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: funny or something, and she opened it up and it

233
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: was like this just stank face, like what is this?

234
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: Like what? And I'm like, no, remember you said? And

235
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: I thought it would go over as like being really

236
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: cute or something. She was just like okay, thanks, yeah,

237
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: a drill. I fought my wife, who wasn't my wife

238
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: at the time, a blender for Christmas, and but she

239
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: for drinks and fun. She had said, you know what,

240
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: we're definitely gonna need a blender, okay, And I thought, okay,

241
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: you need a blender, I got you something like, it's

242
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: not a gift. If it's something you need, then it's

243
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: not a gift. And I got her a blender, and

244
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: I'd say it comes up just about every Christmas. What

245
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: is it? My kids will go, what did what? Did

246
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: you get her a blender? Yes, tod, I've gotten my

247
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: wife what I thought were creative, thoughtful, romantic gifts and

248
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: she wanted no part of that. We went out for

249
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: like a Mother's Day brunch and I got her this

250
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: frame thing, but said, at first there was us, and

251
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: I had the date of our wedding date, and then

252
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: came and I had did you do a limerick? It

253
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a limerick. There was something that was just it

254
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: was something that someone had come up with. I found

255
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: it online and it was a nice framed piece of

256
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: I would consider a piece of art. And finally, all

257
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: these years later, we finally found a place to hang

258
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: it up because I kept whining about it. And it said,

259
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: first there was us without anniversary date. Then came Jordan,

260
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: our son with the date of his birth, and then

261
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: our daughter in the neighbor the date of her birth,

262
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: and she just looked at like what are we going

263
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: to do with that? And she had in the clocket

264
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: for a very long time till I finally, you know,

265
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: she was like, can I get some Mets tickets? That

266
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: I got this because she's a teacher, drill. It sounded

267
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: like a thoughtful gift. That's what I thought. I got

268
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: this thing because she said teacher. There's all these verses

269
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: about how important teachers are to future generations. And again

270
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: that's that's not my thing. You know, picture frames of

271
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: you know why it's great to be a teacher. No,

272
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: that sounds like something our students should have gotten her.

273
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: That's in the basement, hanging in a corner that no

274
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: one could possibly see the unless you at a certain angle.

275
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: I think you would never face the really able to

276
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: read it. You know. A lot of thought went into

277
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: a time. Very weak, Yeah, very very tried. Yeah. All right,

278

Speaker 1: into an authorized dealership. Today, we'll check in with Mike

313
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: Florio and Loan from Pro Football Talk Live. We'll get

314
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: a couple more phone calls Winthrop in North Carolina. Best

315
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend. Good morning, Dan, It's good

316
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: to see everybody. Yeah. The best of the weekend for me.

317
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: One of them is Jordan's speech getting his mental game

318
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: back together. Apparently somewhat in a major The kid is

319
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: and nothing physically wrong with him over the years, but

320
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: just I don't know, had some mental problems and I

321
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: really like him. The second death is the Yankees having

322
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: to play small ball and winning ninety one over Boston

323
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: last night. There major stars are all injured, so they

324
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: actually had to steal hit and run, yeah, hit to

325
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: the gap, things like that, and then the uh, the

326
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: icing on a cake on that was in the seventh

327
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: Boston Walking in three runs. That's very unusual in my experience.

328
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: So I just one other thing I wanted to say.

329
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: Fritzie's wearing saying your lane shirt and Dan, I love

330
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: you with all due respect. Add the Ramones to the

331
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: list of saying your lane and asked Seaton, why thank you?

332
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: All right? Thank you? Thank you with her thank you. Yeah,

333
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember you being anti Ramones. I don't remember that.

334
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: Is that what he's saying. I'm guessing. Are you saying

335
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: that you weren't a Ramones guy, I'm not a Ramones fan,

336
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: but that you didn't ding them? No, I mean I

337
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: probably did by saying I'm not a Ramones fan, but

338
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: you know, Blitz Craig Bop is just not my and

339
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: I know that they had they were influential with other

340
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: band you know, Bono has talked about the Ramones. I

341
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: know they were influential. You know, I'm I don't trump

342
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 1: up the clash the way I'm supposed to. They were

343
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: very influential, But I don't know just saying I didn't

344
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: the Ramones didn't do anything for me. Yeah, They're always

345
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: one of those bands like what's that saying about. You know,

346
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: one hundred people saw them, but they all started a

347
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: band kind of thing. You know. It's like, yeah, yeah,

348
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: I just not a Ramones fan. I don't feel like

349
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: you need to stay in your lane on that. I

350
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: think you're okay. I mean, I was told to stay

351
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: in my lane on Green Day, and I went to

352
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I went

353
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: to the Green Day exhibit just so I could familiarize myself.

354
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: That's the kind of reporting that I do. That's the

355
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: journalist that I am. Let's bring in Mike Florial, Pro

356
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: Football Talk Live co host, so you don't have to

357
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: deal with any of this stuff. Mike, do you I

358
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: like it though, I like listening to it. I like it.

359
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: I like Green Day. I can only imagine the things

360
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: that are available to maybe sample at the Green Day

361
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame well

362
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: in Ohio. I don't know. It was a nice exhibit.

363
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: I took pictures just to let people know that I

364
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: did go to try to learn a little bit more

365
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: about Green Day. That's all. That's what we do in

366
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: this business. Mike, Like, you got to get out, you

367
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: got to go meet people, go to camp, talk to coaches, gms.

368
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what we have to do this.

369
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm just getting that in memo twenty years later. I

370
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: stay in my cave as much as I can. I

371
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: think people prefer it that way. All Right, you got

372
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and the Steelers. They get to start practice

373
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. More interesting team to you between those two? Well,

374
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: I'd say the Cowboys because they always are. It's close

375
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: though this year with the Steelers, I don't know what

376
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: their mindset is. I don't know why they brought Ben

377
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger back. I don't know why he came back. It

378
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like they're going to be as successful as

379
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: last year. That AFC is so hop heavy with Super

380
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: Bowl contenders. It's going to be a tough year for

381
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: the best teams in the AFC. For the Cowboys, their

382
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: path through the Division championship is wide open. They could

383
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: win it easily. They're favored to win it, although I

384
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: don't think they should be. I think it should be Washington.

385
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: But with the Dak Prescott injury, which by all appearances

386
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: is healed, Ezekiel Elliot can he get back to being

387
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: the guy he was a couple of years ago. Can

388
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: they do anything defensively? And it's the Cowboys and they're

389
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: on hard knocks. I mean, so the Cowboys are always

390
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: going to be a team. Even when it feels like

391
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: that that star is a little tarnished, they still are

392
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: a team that everyone wants to pay attention to. Why

393
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: did the Steelers bring Ben back? I think what happened

394
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: and Simpson I talked about this on PFT Live. I

395
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: think they had enough time after their loss to the

396
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Browns in the playoffs and to process the way things

397
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: fell apart after the Steelers started eleven and oh to

398
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: convince themselves that we don't have to rebuild, we just

399
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: have to reload. If we fix this and this and

400
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: this and this, you get into kind of an echo

401
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: chain with your front office and your coaching staff. And

402
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: they convinced themselves they can make a run at the

403
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl and win it, and we're gonna do it.

404
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring him back and we're gonna have that

405
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: one more year. And I think part of it too

406
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: was they didn't know what else they were going to

407
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: do if they didn't bring back Ben Roethlisberger. They didn't

408
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: draft high enough to get a first round talent that

409
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: could be the next franchise quarterback, like they did in

410
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and four when they had the eleventh pick.

411
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: So I think that part of it was hubris, and

412
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: part of it is we don't know what plan B

413
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: would be, so let's stick with Ben Roethlisberg. Yeah, and

414
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: I know they brought in Haskins my guests, just to

415
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: see if there is potential there. But Mason Rudolph is

416
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: not threatening anybody. I don't know if they didn't see

417
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the draft that they could get or

418
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: was worth going to get. I don't know if it

419
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: was something as simplistic as that, and then you just thought,

420
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: all right, well we can fall back on Ben. And

421
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Ben did have pretty good numbers those first what eleven

422
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: games or so, but and their receivers I think they

423
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: had they dropped more balls than any other receivers. So

424
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: now you've added a running back. I don't know what

425
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: their style is going to be, but it'll be tough

426
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: sledding in that division. One thing Jerome Bettis told Ed

427
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: Bouchett of The Athletic last year was the running game

428
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: is something that begins in training camp. You have to

429
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: have a commitment up front. It's a different style of blocking,

430
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: and you have to have a mindset that you were

431
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: gonna you were gonna mash people who are across from

432
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: you and open up those holes. And they have huge

433
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: turnover on the offensive line. That's the big unknown with

434
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers this year, all the turnover on the offensive line.

435
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: Will the new players be as good or better than

436
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: the guys they're replacing And and we'll see. And Dan,

437
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this or talked about it,

438
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: but there was an item recently on a tell that

439
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger has when he's in shotgun formation, where when

440
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: it's a pass, he's got his left heel off the ground.

441
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: When it's a run, he's flat footed. Defenses see that.

442
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: They know about that. And if you know before the

443
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 1: snap whether it's a runner or pass, that's eighty five

444
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: percent of the battle. If they can iron that out.

445
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: When you consider how good their offense was even with

446
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: that tell, if they can get rid of that, they

447
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: could be a lot better potentially on offense. If you

448
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: just take off the table, Hey, defense, we're running or

449
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: we're passing. That could make a huge difference. Wait, how

450
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: does the tell get told? Somebody studied the film and

451
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: noticed it. Somebody in the studied the film and saw

452
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: that the heels off the ground when he passes and

453
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: he's flat footed when he runs. And I don't know

454
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: how long that's been the case, but it's a pretty

455
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: basic yes, no pass run thing. And if defensive players

456
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: are seeing it before the snap, that that that would

457
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: explain why they ran the ball so poorly last year,

458
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: if every time they ran the ball somebody up front

459
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: could see that Ben was standing flatfooted and that many

460
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: was going to hand it off out a shotgun. I

461
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: remember Rodney Harrison telling me that he would watch Tony

462
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: Gonzalez lineup and he said, if he lined up up

463
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: and it maybe it was a foot a foot out,

464
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: he knew it was a pass play, and if he

465
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: lined up a little closer to the tackle, it was

466
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: going to be a run. Like just something so small,

467
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: but that's all you're looking for, Like, what is your tell?

468
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: We're talking to Mike Florio Pro Football Talk Live co

469
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: host with Chris Simms, Monday through Friday. You can watch

470
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: that on Peacock. I'm fascinated with the Rams and Chargers

471
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: because I don't want to set my expectations up too

472
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: high for the Chargers, as I always do, and the

473
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: Rams I find really fascinating here. Which one are you

474
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: more interested in seeing this season? Well, I'm watched in

475
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think the Chargers have a great deal

476
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: of talent. They hit a home run in hiring Brandon

477
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: Staley to be the head coach. I think he's going

478
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: to be a great coach. The challenge for the Chargers

479
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: is to avoid injuries. And yeah, you mentioned Rodney Harrison.

480
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: I've been sitting next to him for the last decade

481
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: and he's got this uncanny ability watching nine games at

482
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: one to spot the potentially serious knee injury and he'll

483
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: slap me and he'll say, watch this replay and you know,

484
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: on ninety five out of one hundred times, the guy

485
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: just jumps up and he's good to go. Teams out

486
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: there know how to properly get their guys flexible and

487
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: everything about the training side of it to get guys

488
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: to a point where they can go out and play

489
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: and not suffer serious injury. I think some teams are

490
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: better than others. And one of the problems with the

491
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: Charters when you just look at the recent history of

492
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: injury injury, injury injury. I hope they've taken a broader

493
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: look at their processes and try to figure out what

494
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: they can do to limit the injuries, because that's what

495
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: knocks them off. Every single year. They get key guys

496
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: injured and it falls apart. For the Rams. Hey, they

497
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: got to the final eight with Jared Goff at quarterback

498
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: and now they have Matthew Stafford and whether they can

499
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: get back there. I mean, this is gonna be the

500
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: great litmus test for the struggles of Matthew Stafford's career.

501
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: Was it him? Was it the Lions? We're gonna find

502
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: out this year. The obligatory Aaron Rodgers update. Mike, Well, look,

503
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be there, and I think

504
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: he's not going to say anything because next Monday, Mark Murphy,

505
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: the CEO of the Packers, gets to meet with fans

506
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: slash shareholders at the annual meeting and they haven't had

507
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: a chance to voice their displeasure with the past several months,

508
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do it, and Murphy's gonna bear the

509
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: brunt of it. And I think Rogers is keeping his

510
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 1: mouth shut right now in part because he doesn't want

511
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: to make it any easier. Next Monday, when Mark Murphy

512
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: has to address the shareholders, who understandably are upset because

513
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: they're caught in the middle of this. That's the one

514
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: thing I don't like about. If the players are caught

515
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of it, the fans are caught in

516
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: the middle of it. I think Aaron Rodgers is going

517
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: to show up, and frankly, I think when he does

518
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: show up, that could be when the Packers, starting with Murphy,

519
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: begin to soften on this idea of potentially trading him,

520
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 1: because I think if we injected sodium pentethal into the

521
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: veins of Mark Murphy, he would admit that he'd rather

522
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers not show up. But what is the goal

523
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: here of Aaron Rodgers. Oh, he wants to play somewhere else.

524
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he wants to stick it to the Packers.

525
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: He's upset with the fact that he spent years believing

526
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: he was untouchable, and in one moment, without a heads up,

527
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: without the courtesy of a phone call or a text

528
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: message or anything, he found out he's not untouchable because

529
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: they traded up to draft a quarterback who ostensibly will

530
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: replace him and At one point, I think it was

531
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: when he was talking to Kenny Maine he made the

532
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: comment that his season last year threw a wrench into

533
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: the plan. He believes that they wanted to go from

534
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: Jordan Love to Aaron Rodgers after one season of Jordan's

535
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Love on the bench, and I think he's trying to

536
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: force that now. And I really do think his best

537
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: chance of getting traded this year is to show up

538
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and hope that the people at the top of the

539
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: organization say, let's just get rid of this distraction because

540
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: it's going to be a mess of a season. A

541
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: NonStop question, is it his last year? Let's just be

542
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: done with it now and move forward. Wait, so before

543
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: this season you think he'll be traded as opposed to

544
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: after the season. Well, I know, I think his best

545
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,479
Speaker 1: chance of getting traded before the season is to show up.

546
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: I think holding out is not the way to get traded.

547
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: I think he's got a better chance of getting traded

548
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: if he shows up. And it's this constant circus of

549
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: is this his last year? Have they promised to trade him?

550
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: He's asked about it all the time. He makes his

551
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: little snide, pass aggressive comments, so they have to scour

552
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: everything he says, to see who he's taken a shot at.

553
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they've gotten to the point where

554
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: they've had enough of that and they're just ready to

555
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: move forward, and showing up, I think is the ticket

556
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: to them deciding to move on. But Mike, if the

557
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: Packers knew this, then why not do it at draft?

558
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: At the draft, you have a lot of teams that

559
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: come into play, more options here. I don't understand you're

560
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna limit the market for Aaron Rodgers. Well, look, I

561
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: agree with you completely, and I think they do get

562
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: more for him. If they wait until after the season,

563
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have eight, nine, ten teams that are deciding

564
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: to move on from their current quarterbacks. And that makes sense.

565
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: But I'm just talking about the day in and day

566
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: out reality of Aaron Rodgers back and Aaron Rodgers in

567
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: Green Bay, and Aaron Rodgers taking verbal shots at Brian goodacous,

568
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: Mark Murphy, whoever. He can't help himself. At some point

569
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna break. You can see it. The wheels spin

570
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: in his head. He tries to resist. At some point

571
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna say something. And as Sims and I have

572
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: said on PFT, live. If you're Mark Murphy or Brian goodacous,

573
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere near the practice field without a helmet

574
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: on and two cups because you're gonna get the walking

575
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: Boss treatment. Was the walking Boss the one that that

576
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds through the football and Adam Sandler did the

577
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: same thing, right into the you know, right into the

578
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: sensitive area. If you're Goodacouster Murphy steer clear of Aaron

579
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers with a football issue. Why doesn't Rodgers just say

580
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: trade me? I think he enjoys whether it's yeah, but

581
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get Mike, I mean, like, if his

582
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: end game is to get traded, then why didn't you

583
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: jump on this two months ago? Dan? I've been saying

584
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: that since the moment he activated this story the first

585
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: day of the draft, and he's going to be looking

586
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: at the Rams and going, I should be the starting

587
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Rams, yes, right? And or the forty

588
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: nine Ers, yeah. Or the forty nine is the team

589
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: that he wanted to go to as the first pick

590
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: in the two thousand and five draft. He wanted to

591
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: go to the forty nine Ers. And and that's really

592
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: what started this. It was my friend Paul Allen of

593
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: kfa N reporting that the forty nine Ers made a

594
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: run at Aaron Rodgers that all hit the day of

595
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: the draft, and Dan, look, I think that it was

596
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: all calculated and strategic, and this was his payback because

597
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the Packers turned his life upside down Draft Day twenty twenty,

598
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: Draft Day twenty twenty one, He's going to turn their

599
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: life upside down. I think it was all planned and

600
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: it worked to a perfection because it look look at

601
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about for the last three and

602
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: a half months. Deshaun wants in any chi he shows

603
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: up next week. Can he show up next week? Oh?

604
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: He can, because no one has said from the league

605
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: whether or not he's going to be on paid leave.

606
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: And I've been saying for weeks now that the league

607
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: has had a chance to conduct its preliminary investigation into

608
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: these twenty two civil lawsuits and decide yes or no,

609
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: up or down. Deshaun Watson gets put on the commissioner

610
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: examp list in twenty twenty one, and I think the

611
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: right thing to do, in the fair thing to do,

612
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: is for the league to tell the Texans Watson and

613
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: anyone else out there who may want to trade for him,

614
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: what his status is and not play this guessing game,

615
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: and you'll find out when we put him on the

616
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: Commissioner example list. That's what the league typically does. They

617
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: won't tell you in advance because if he's not going

618
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: to be put on the Commissioner example list, I think

619
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: the chances of him traded, even with depending lawsuits, increases dramatically.

620
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Whether it's the Eagles, the Dolphins of the Broncos, I

621
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: think one of those three teams make a run at

622
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: him if the league says we're not putting him on

623
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: the commissioner examp list. Is the NFL investigating the Buccaneers

624
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 1: for the Tom Brady injury or hiding the injury never

625
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: putting him on the injured list. And a guy played

626
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: the full season with a torn MCL that required surgery

627
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: promptly after the Super Bowl, and he never showed up

628
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: on the injury report once with a knee problem, and

629
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: about asked the league as evidence has come out after

630
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: the fact about the severity of the knee injury, do

631
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: you have a comment on this? Did they violate the

632
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: injury report? And the league has consistently said no comment.

633
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: And Dan, I think based on dealing with the league

634
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. If there was no violation,

635
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: they would say so. No comment to me implies that

636
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers did something here they shouldn't have done. They

637
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: knew about the knee. Even if Tom Brady had his

638
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: own separate setup where he got all of his treatment

639
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: from Alex Guerrero and company, and the trainers for the

640
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Buccaneers never knew about the knee. There's no way the

641
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 1: coaching staff didn't know that. You know, he's trying to

642
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: protect his left knee. Don't expect me to roll out.

643
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: Don't expect me to do this. I'm doing three step,

644
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: five step drop, and I'm getting rid of the football

645
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible because my knees got one hit.

646
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: And take that one hit and there goes the ACL

647
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: again and we're done. And that's why they hit it.

648
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: That's the problem with transparency for gambling purposes and the

649
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: strategy of keeping your your injured guys healthy. You don't

650
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: want to paint a target on the injured body part.

651
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: That's why the Buccaneers never disclosed it. Okay, but what

652
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: information the gamblers, you know, with total transparency, they want

653
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: to know this stuff now, are they is the league

654
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: obligated to give gamblers this much information. Here's the problem, Dan,

655
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: As I try to do some my microphone has a

656
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: torn mclar If there is not full transparency, then that

657
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: means there is inside information to be had, which creates

658
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: an incentive for the gamblers to try to find it,

659
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: which means certain people who have the inside information are

660
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: going to be worked on to share the inside information.

661
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: And this is the kind of thing that can spiral

662
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: out of control for the NFL. I've had it compared

663
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: to inside information with publicly traded companies, non material or

664
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: non material, private information that becomes known to certain people

665
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: who go buy and sell stocks with that information. You

666
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: don't want there to be inside information that creates a

667
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: potential for corruption, that creates a potential for all sorts

668
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: of infiltration by gambling interests. And the league needs to

669
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: be concerned about it because the wrong scandal at the

670
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: wrong time means Congress gets involved, maybe creates an agency

671
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: to oversee all professional sports, because gambling is legalized sea

672
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: to shining Sea, and at some point there's going to

673
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: be an ambitious prosecutor that has jurisdiction over one of

674
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: these teams that maybe has people there who have done

675
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: things they shouldn't have done. Next thing, you know, a

676
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: grand jury is convened. Next thing you know, people get indicted.

677
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: I think the league needs to work hard to avoid

678
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,240
Speaker 1: that kind of outcome. That's why this Brady thing is important.

679
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: Whoever knows the truth about injuries has the power to

680
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: misuse that information and create problems for the league. Thank you, Mike,

681

Speaker 1: all right. I do love in the Alley Oop though,

726
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: when all the still frames of it and you see

727
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: like Adell going nut, I know, and then there's like, yeah,

728
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: little Wayne is somewhere in there. Adele reportedly dating Lebron

731
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: would be a big pickup. I would. I would love

732
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: to go see a Dell. Yeah, although I think she

733
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: has stage fright or anxiety. I don't know. Like there's

734
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: certain artists. Carly Simon tough business to be in. Yes,

735
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: it is and you get suffered from stage. Right, Well,

736
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: she could just record music. I know you make your

737
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: money when you tour, but yeah, that that is a problem.

738
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: If Hey, here's the good news, she's an unbelievable singer.

739
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: Here's the bad news. She doesn't like performing in front

740
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: of an audience. Michael Phelps being afraid of the water. Yeah,

741
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: best and worst point I want to go. Best is

742
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: USA men's basketball beating Spain last night eighty three seventy six.

743
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm not really anti Spain. I'm just anti Chris Mannix.

744
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: Mannix when the oh my god, he vanished stop last

745
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: night they had to lead in the first half and

746
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: Rubio had I think two points. He was texting you

747
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: and I incessantly. He was taking pictures of Rubio on

748
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: the floor, Rubio at a press conference and sending it

749
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: to me. My wife's like, who's texting you? I think first,

750
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: and then Mannix goes, I'll call in and get full

751
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: details on this go on Monday went nah, I'm good.

752
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: The other I got on if this is the best

753
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: or worst. But if you were checking Twitter this morning

754
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: and there was a headline USA gymnast has COVID, it's

755
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: not Simone Biles, but was actually in the headline. They

756
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: didn't say who it was, they said who it's not. Yeah,

757
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: it's an alternate, Yeah, who tested positive. How long is

758
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: that flight? Does everybody leave from New York to go

759
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: to Tokyo? I think fourteen hours? Fourteen straight? I think so.

760
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: And the longest flight commercial flight in the world is

761
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it's Los Angeles to SINGAPOREUS almost eighteen hours direct.

762
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: What's the longest one you've ever been on. Well, I

763
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: went from Connecticut to Sydney, Australia, so I think it

764
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 1: took me twenty two hours to get from Hartford, Connecticut

765
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: to Sydney. I didn't know what month it was when

766
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: I got off the plane, and I you know, back

767
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,959
Speaker 1: then you didn't really you didn't have that you could watch.

768
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: It didn't like you you know, you had to the

769
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: old school way. We had to read a book. But

770
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: you know there's no movie. There'd be one movie there

771
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: and that depending on where you were seated, you know,

772
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: you might not even you know, you'd have an obscured

773
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: view of something there. Yes, that's the worst too, when

774
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: you know you're getting on a long flight and you

775
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: download like three movies or something and then you get

776
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: on the plane, you sit and you go to watch

777
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: them and you find out you didn't actually download them all.

778
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: You just sort of did and then feared. I'm like, oh,

779
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm here for another six hours, damn it. Why didn't

780
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: I check this? Yeah? It was. I was doing a

781
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: story on Sean Bradley when he was on his Mormon

782
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: mission and he was in Sydney and he was going

783
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: door to door and I went over there and did

784
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: a story on him. And it was December and it

785
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: was so hot in Sydney, unbelievable, the hottest son I've

786
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: ever been in because they don't have any ozone layer

787
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: there and like it was scorching. I think got bad.

788
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: It was was for Sean Bradley. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. See,

789
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: if you have a crazy long flight like that, do

790
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: you prefer to just go direct or have a couple

791
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: of layovers? Well, it helped to stretch your legs because

792
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: I went from Hartford to Chicago, Chicago to La La,

793
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: then to Sydney. But on the way back, as I'm

794
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: leaving Sydney, I'm on the wing. My seat is right

795
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, on the window, and I'm right there by

796
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: the wing and all of a sudden, I just see

797
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: this black plume of smoke. Go Now, I'm with a

798
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: woman who's never been on a plane before, and she

799
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: is holding onto my hand at one point, and and

800
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: she goes, what was that? I said, We're gonna have

801
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: to turn around? Why, I said, we just blew an engine. Wait,

802
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: are we crashing? I go, no, no, no, they got

803
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: they got three other ones were good. Like I was worried.

804
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: She was going to panic. And then the pilot comes

805
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: on and said, of you're on the left side of

806
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: the plane. You notice the black cloud of smoke that

807
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,040
