6
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.640
night, and again we know Andrews
is number one in this town, but

7
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:51.880
they don't have a Neapolitan pizza.
So I want to part to note it's

a downtown that's trip number two for
you. Yeah to that spot, and

9
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:02.240
good god, it's delicious. If
you want any other style of pizza,

10
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.879
there's no better option than Andrews.
They absolutely nail it their five different styles

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.599
Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Philly, Philly. But if you want the

12

Neapolitan and you are downtown man again

00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.120
mind. We will knock it out
for Right now, it's seven o'clock and

29
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:30.080
it's time to talk a little bit
of sports good and now Sports at seven.

30
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.879
That's right, Sports at seven brought
to you. Well, let's just

31
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.159
get into the copy, shall we, guys. It's the holiday season I

32
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.360
don't want this to sound like a
live spot. It's the holiday season and

33
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.039
the busiest time of year for travel. How about this Christmas? You consider

34
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.520
a less conventional means of flying,
No more boring in flight films, subpar

35
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.759
meals or lack of leg groom.
That's right, it's time to fly Umbrella

36
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:02.919
Air. What's sounds more exciting than
flying to Grandma's house attached to a giant

37
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.879
umbrella that violently goes up and down
and who knows, you might not even

38
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.280
make it. Hell, you might
not even live. But it's fun.

39
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:19.840
Right, Umbrella Air from the makers
of Guy with Wings departing now from Flagpole

40
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.439
Hill at White Rock Lake. Thank
you Ambrella Air for tumbel board and just

41
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.680
kind of nod all the early attempts
at flight prior to the Right Brother's success.

42
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.840
Fantastic. I flew Guy with Wings
last holiday season. Yeah, it

43
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.560
didn't go well, you making about
four feet. I was guys stuck at

44
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.599
home for the holidays, you know, because I made bad travel plans.

45
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:49.800
Speaking of just as you said that, I'm flying tomorrow on what is the

46
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.199
busiest travel day of the year.
I don't know that seems like a thrashing

47
00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:03.439
the FW or love dub Bless your
Heart, thirty flight am Yeah, destination

48
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:12.400
sr Q Sarasota Bradenton International. But
the busiest Yeah, I don't know,

49
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.519
better get there. I'm not an
early bird at the airport. Usually I'm

50
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.879
not pretty low stress flyer. But
yeah, I keep you keep reading the

51
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.920
busiest day of the year. Are
you TSA PRE? No, you need

52
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.519
to do it. I'm so lazy. Mary. My sister in law just

53
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.079
sent me an invite to clear.
You know what clear is. I think

54
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:40.120
it's like a level up from TSA
PRE. Like it's international. And if

55
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.120
your airport has clear, you just
do nothing and you take the Bazuka right

56
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:50.040
on the plane. Yeah, you
can dress like first Blood, to dress

57
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.560
like John Rambo and just strut right
right through. You'd go. Yeah,

58
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.120
there's no metal detect or nothing.
No, you're dressed like am War saedant,

59
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.759
just popping on your commercial flight.
You have the chest thing with ammunition

60
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:14.800
andbaka just the baked potato grenades,
a banana clip and chest dressed like Anwar's

61
00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:23.959
sedants. Go ahead, you are
a calear. I believe your machine gun

62
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.319
will fit snugly in the overhead can
part. Yeah, they take the machine

63
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.920
gun and put it in a little
sample thing like yeah, and you're like,

64
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.519
I've done that. I bring it
all the time. I'll make it.

65
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:36.240
Is that an authentic German potato?
Masha, I'll take that for you.

66
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:41.560
Yeah, that'll fit in nicely.
Uh yeah, So I'm none of

67
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.560
those things. I'm a regular ass. But I need to. It's just

68
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:46.680
a matter of I think you have
to either go to the airport and do

69
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.560
it, or go to one of
their satellite locations and do the ts Are

70
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.399
you tsa pre It's probably run out
by now because I haven't flown in a

71
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.319
couple of years. Well, yeah, no, I'm not. I think

72
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.839
it involves a cavity search. Yeah, what's holding me up? I do

73
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.480
those a discount. Yeah, behind
the building on Tuesdays. So you're in

74
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.519
luck. Good? Yeah? Have
you ever? Okay, So when you

75
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.600
do the flying, I always miscalculate
it. Like every time it's like,

76
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.519
oh, busiest day of the year, you better get there like three hours

77
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:25.439
early. Man. I end up
rolling through security in ten seconds and then

78
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.279
I'm stuck out a terminal with nothing
to do for like two hours. Or

79
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.920
I'm like, you know what,
I'm sick of this. I'm sick of

80
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.560
good in the airport early every time
I do it, and then you time

81
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.759
it out to where, okay,
yeah, five minutes, pre check whatever,

82
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.639
get through the thing. And those
are the times where you're hurdling like

83
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:51.160
oj Simpson and it hurts commercial just
to freaking get on to the damn whatever

84
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.480
that thing is. You get in
line, the line sweat IV Yeah,

85
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.240
yeah, yeah, I'm gonna give
it plenty of time tomorrow, I suppose.

86
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.639
But and then you get in there
and you have time to kill and

87
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.399
it's in airport, so at seven
forty five am, you can have a

88
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:12.879
lasagna and a glass of wine.
It's not weird at all. Pretzels to

89
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.560
go. Oh, I get to
go to Annie An's, my favorite restaurant.

90
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.639
You love. You wanted the stadium
Bowl a few months back. Yeah,

91
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.639
remember that, you remember the stadium
Bowl. They're going to order me

92
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.759
the Stadium Bowl. You're going to
eat it on your way home. I

93
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.639
almost left here and went to the
Gallery and yes, to get the stadium

94
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.360
Bowl, which is a freaking NFL
stadium made out of pretzel bread. But

95
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.399
they look so cute. I think
they were the spectator. That's incredible.

96
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.319
Now I want one. Just talk
about it and it makes you want an

97
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.879
incredible soft pretzel. And then on
the field there's an array of dips.

98
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:58.720
Yeah, dips on the field,
little WEENI covered dogs in the end zone.

99
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.279
I'm hungry. Let's speaking of stadiums. Did anybody watch football last night?

100
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.079
I stayed up until the final whistle? Man, I wish that I

101
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.680
hadn't that I did. How the
how the f did Kansas City not win

102
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.600
that damn game? They were in
total ask command well until like the fourth

103
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.519
quarter, until halftime, until I
stopped playing football. Listen to their drives

104
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.839
in the second half, punt punt, fumble, punt, punt, turnover

105
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.200
on downs. And I think that's
three games in a row the Chiefs have

106
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.720
been shut out in the second half, like they actually have offensive problems despite

107
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:41.000
having the freaking goat their defense.
It's football for a reason. It looked

108
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.559
like they had the best defense in
the NFL through two quarters. Yeah in

109
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.200
that game. Yeah, and it
just disappeared. You know what they got

110
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:52.159
is the drop SI's on offense too, worse than the league right, twenty

111
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.000
six drops on the year, worst
in the league, five drops last night,

112
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.399
three drops on the final drive.
Imagine how Marquez vander Valdez Scantling feels

113
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.120
waking up this morning. That was
the path, the second to last pass

114
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.879
into the end zone. Am that
hit him in both hands? It's funny

115
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:16.120
they the second that that ball left
Mahomes hands and I looked to the left

116
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.919
of the screen and saw that dude
as open as he was. My first

117
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.039
thought was, holy crap, there's
like a minute and a half left.

118
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.919
Jalen Hurts is going to go down
and win this game. You know,

119
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.399
it's too much time left for him
to throw a bomb like that to the

120
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.960
end zone. And then I'll be
damned if he didn't catch it and not

121
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.159
catch it right in his effing hands. And then they had a chance after

122
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:43.879
Mahomes like intentionally grounded the ball,
and then it's like fourth and twenty five

123
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.240
on basically the final play from scrimmage
for Kansas City of the game, they

124
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.600
get an open ass receiver, I
mean not wide open. There were defenders

125
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:58.039
closing in, but the ball was
put right in dude's hands. Although he

126
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.879
zinged it. Yeah, it looked
like he did not expect the ball to

127
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.399
get there as quick as it did. And then that one just flies through

128
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.480
his hands. Yes, my homes
is so good, but it's they just

129
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.639
their receivers are not good. And
you have Kelsey who he trusts and everything,

130
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.240
but you just don't have good receivers. They're dropping it like crazy.

131
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.159
But he threw that strike to Scandaling. That's it. I mean you he

132
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.759
did his job. And he's so
great because in post game he's like,

133
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:24.639
you know, we just got to
make plays. You know, He's like,

134
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.279
I gotta do better, and every
one of the world's like, ye

135
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.840
okay, we know. Just say
it. Just say they suck. Just

136
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.120
say you want Tyreek back more than
anything in the whole wide world. Well,

137
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.919
they could have done the Chiefs could
have done the Cowboys a big favor

138
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.120
with that win. But the Eagles
eke out another win. There was more

139
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.080
tush pushing. They're good, man. I mean, I don't know how

140
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.440
good the Eagles are, Like what
are they nine and one for the second

141
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.320
straight year? Like so really good. But I don't know if it's weird.

142
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.799
I just don't fear them as much
as mate last year. I don't

143
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.759
know what it is. I expect
the Cowboys to hang one on on.

144
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.519
They play here on the tenth of
December, a couple of weeks. But

145
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.279
that's a loss that the Cowboys needed
them to take on the road at Kansas

146
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.240
City and they did not. You
read our buddy Jake's article in d magazine

147
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.440
this week about the changes that the
Cowboys made after the or I guess during

148
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.159
the bye week and what that entailed. Apparently there was like a lot of

149
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:28.440
big get together meetings about the offense
with personnel, coaches and all of that

150
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.399
during the bye week and a lot
of opinions, uh, you know,

151
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.679
shared, a lot of ideas shared, and that's kind of what they came

152
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.279
out with. And they've been pretty
freaking perfect since. Was it the pre

153
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.679
snap motion that? Yeah, I
don't want to be such a mouth breather

154
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.279
and say that is the key,
but it does seem like it in a

155
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.240
modern NFL like on the move,
confuse the defense get those switches that will

156
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.519
buy you a half of a second, which is an eternity. Well,

157
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.919
yeah, and if any if nothing
else, it gives you an idea of

158
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.200
what the defense's plan is, the
way they react to your shifts. And

159
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.120
I wanted to do this segment last
week when I think he was thirty to

160
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:11.480
one. I don't know why it's
plummeted so much, but the whole Prescott

161
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.759
MVP thing, he's down a fifteen
to one, I believe, which I

162
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.320
still think is pretty damn good because
Jalen Hurts sort of established himself as the

163
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.360
MVP favorite after last night. He's
plus two to fifty. He's your favorite.

164
00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.600
Lamar Jackson second, mahomes is third, then Tua, and then Dak.

165
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.639
He sided with Brock Purdy at fifteen
to one. But I'm like,

166
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.840
even at fifteen to one, I
feel like there's a pretty good chance because

167
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.039
again, if the Cowboys hang a
win, god forbid, convincingly when they

168
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.399
play the Eagles in that game,
I think you can have a pretty good

169
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.519
argument because all the stats, all
the QBR and everything say that Dak is

170
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.200
the best quarterback in football this season, and when you factor in that,

171
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.960
he's where is this He spent an
entire football game and two full overtimes worth

172
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.360
of time sitting on the bench in
the fourth quarter of the season. That

173
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.159
cast because they've just smashed people that
they've won. They have these multiple a

174
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:07.559
lot with six twenty point wins,
so that's a lot of meat left on

175
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.720
the bone as far as stats.
Yeah that if you're really gonna dig him

176
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:16.000
for any overall stats, not quality
stats, any quantity stats. How much

177
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.240
has Cooper played? Did you just
set it for again, it's a tweet,

178
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.240
Dak press gotta spent an entire football
game and two full o t's and

179
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.399
so that's those are five minutes each, so four quarters. So has he

180
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.639
played four full quarters? I don't
know. It doesn't seem like that much,

181
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.360
but I know he played the last
two Yeah. Yeah, almost the

182
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.480
entire fourth in the last game,
and the entire fourth in the game before.

183
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.799
So maybe a little bit more cumulative
stats for Dak if he's playing,

184
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.519
meaning full time in the fourth quarter, much less playing at all, if

185
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.200
you care about such things. One
play from last night that I want to

186
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.960
talk about. I don't know if
you saw it. You see the Jalen

187
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:58.240
Carter interception attempt? Was it glued? Okay? I didn't see it live

188
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.840
either, I saw it on on
the tweet. But I love when people

189
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.159
try things that have never been tried
before, like the umbrella plane. Yeah,

190
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.240
like a umbrella flight. So I
think it was the It was right

191
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:15.960
at halftime, right before the end
of the second quarter, right and Jalen

192
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.600
Carter is the defensive lineman for the
Eagles and he's lined up right over the

193
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.320
center for the Chiefs and it was
obvious spike the ball scenario, you know,

194
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.559
like the Chiefs are rushing to the
ball and Patrick's like, oh,

195
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.519
I was spiking spiking in you know, when they take it and spike it

196
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440
straight down. Jalen Carter lines up
right head to head over the center,

197
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.039
and the second the ball is snapped, Jalen Carter dives through the center's legs

198
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:46.240
with his palms upward and he was
like an inch away. I maybe even

199
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.120
hit his hands, I don't know, and mahme spikes the ball straight down

200
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.919
and I don't know if it hit
his hands, but he creates like a

201
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.879
volleyball hamburger save or whatever they do, what do they call that when they

202
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.120
just slad your hand out, palms
up trying to get the ball to bounce

203
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:07.639
straight upward or land in his hand
somehow. And it kind of it looked

204
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.000
like it could work, and if
you try that fifty times, it will

205
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.440
work, whether or not it bounces
up and then goes straight into into his

206
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.720
hands or maybe bounces I don't know, up and over his head or you

207
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:22.759
just catch it or just snag it
instantly on the spike. I don't think

208
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.200
that's gonna happen, but it's something
I've never seen try it. He just

209
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.120
gracefully slid between the center's legs and
tried to create a little platform. Did

210
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.320
the ball ever touch his hand.
It's hard to tell because they usually spike

211
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.480
those balls hard. Yeah, it's
hard to tell if if it actually hit

212
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.200
his hands. I'll try to bring
it up for you because it's actually hilarious.

213
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:48.559
I guess if you're if you're on
defense, you think a pretty good

214
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.200
tell that you're trying to do that
would be if your nose tackle puts on

215
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.720
receivers gloves. Yeah, the stickies. I know. I've brought this up

216
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.919
to you before. Have you ever, Steve, Have you ever like put

217
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.039
on those damn receivers gloves and caught
a football? Absolutely not, dude.

218
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:11.200
It's incredible, how amazing they are
grip for days, It's insane. Like

219
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:17.519
back in the day, you know, Fred Bulitnikoff was notorious for stick em

220
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:21.000
with something that became outlawed later.
You know, I think by the end

221
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.440
of the seventies, I don't think
you get or the eighties, you could

222
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.639
even use it anymore. But I
mean that guy would just coat his hands

223
00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:32.840
with this. It was like honey, yeah, and balls would just like

224
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.519
like velcrow to this dude's hands.
Yeah, he's a good receiver, nonetheless,

225
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.440
But they outlawed that stuff, and
that's kind of when the advent of

226
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.440
like receivers gloves. I got a
pair and probably like ten years ago.

227
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.639
You know, you all get crap, free crap at a radio station.

228
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.480
It'll go to a break or any
random break room at a radio station.

229
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.080
There's a box of stuff and it
was some stuff from the NFL, and

230
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.759
there were receivers gloves, and I
like snagged a pair and went home with

231
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.600
my oldest and let's go try these
out, man, and dude, it's

232
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.720
crazy. Yeah, you can just
like grab a ball out of the air

233
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.160
with one hand and it just goes. Yeah, Like if you have any

234
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.440
kind of football acumen at all,
you're they up your game. Man.

235
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.480
There's a reason why those dudes use
those. I don't. I can't even

236
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.480
think of a receiver that doesn't wear
them. Boy, is there a receiver

237
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.720
that doesn't wear Why would you love? Why would Yeah, it's foolish not

238
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.799
to because right that shiny tight material
like that obj catch, Like those catches

239
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.160
don't happen, not without those gloves, without no way magical gloves. And

240
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.000
I don't want to minimize one handed
catches, but yes they're not. If

241
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.960
you try those gloves on and caught
a football, you would understand that it's

242
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.319
not as impossible as it is.
They kind of make it look with as

243
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:47.200
magic gloves. Here watch this,
So look at Jalen Carter. So the

244
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:51.920
dive, oh dude in his hands. It hit his hands and just kind

245
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.799
of popped straight up. That's smart, isn't that kind of it hit him

246
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.680
right in his hands and just couldn't
He was laying on his chest so he

247
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.720
couldn't kilt his head up. Was
that? I wonder if he was the

248
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.480
only one on the team that knew
that was gonna happen, because it seems

249
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:08.400
like you would have told your friends
it's like, hey, go around,

250
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:11.559
I'm gonna tip this thing up in
the air, right, like keep a

251
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:14.599
heads up. But it did bounce
straight up, and yeah it did because

252
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:15.960
he couldn't look up. But if
he could, he might have caught it

253
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.759
because it kind of just went right
to the right of him. Is that

254
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:23.799
genius? Yeah? Do do more
wild stuff? I like it? Come

255
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.799
up with Yeah, okay, hear
me out, Jalen plan for tonight.

256
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.960
I'm gonna play this cut of audio
here, give me the ding dong.

257
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.680
I don't even know how good the
audio is, but I think it's kind

258
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:40.559
of just awesome that I hadn't thought
about this that we have. Is this

259
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.599
sports audio? Yeah, okay,
okay, someone do something because I have

260
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:51.359
trouble. You're listening to Sports at
seven. On the downbeat, Mikey is

261
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.519
frantically trying to plug in his cord
to play some very valuable audio that we're

262
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.599
going to hear just in mere moments. It's two minutes. I don't even

263
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:02.920
know if all that's great, but
I think it's kind of awesome that the

264
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.079
stars in the American Airline Center announced
yesterday Dirk's getting a buddy. Dirk's getting

265
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:11.119
a buddy out front Lonely Dirk.
They only let him have one basketball instead

266
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:18.000
of the three he was promised in
his statue that Mike Madonna is going to

267
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.480
get a statue in front of the
American Airline Center. Now those two statues

268
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.279
can share the mozzarella sticks. From
Alamo Draft exactly right. Finally, use

269
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:32.440
the buddy system when ordering mozzarella sticks. Here's Mikey mo and the great Darryl

270
00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:34.279
Razor. Ray, you haven't done
one of these in a while, so

271
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.079
here we go. Look, you've
had so many honors bestowed on you,

272
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.039
Hockey Hall of Fame, US Hockey
Hall of Fame, you have a rink

273
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:47.759
named after your back home in Lavonia, so having a statue, where does

274
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.000
that raid in there? I don't
know. I thought we were done with

275
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.240
these things, and poor Gallardi's had
to foot the bill for all these things.

276
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.200
So I feel bad for Tom,
but he's been phenomenal. But this

277
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.519
is just kind of the grand finale
of that all. And being out there

278
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.279
with Dirk obviously a great friend and
guy that we've done a lot of the

279
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:08.000
great things here in this town together, and being able to watch a lot

280
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.200
of great basketball and great hockey.
But yeah, it's just the icing.

281
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:18.599
And I think so Dirk has the
patented fade away one leg shot going,

282
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.240
Are you gonna have some say in
what yours looks like? I actually did

283
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.920
so, Dan Stukele and I and
Brad and we all kind of came up

284
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.440
with a photo. You'll know what
it is, so people will know it.

285
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:32.440
Wow, it's like a tease all
of a sudden from you. It's

286
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:34.720
a patent one, so you'll know. Okay, can you give us a

287
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:41.599
hint as to the era of Mike
Madonna in Dallas? That was God,

288
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.839
I'm thinking early two thousand is late
ninety nine, late nineties, the good

289
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.079
era, the hellsy on days around
here. So when you look at your

290
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:56.200
life right now and you're chasing five
children around up in Minnesota, what are

291
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.319
they gonna think of this? I
don't think they still believe that I never

292
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.559
played. So you know, they're
like, you know, watching videos and

293
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:06.640
you know, starting to starting to
sink in here and there, especially Minnesota

294
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.680
people coming up and you know,
my daughter's says, god, you got

295
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.000
a lot of friends. Yeah.
I'm like, well, you know,

296
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.559
I met a lot of few people
out along the way. But yeah,

297
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:17.759
they're still they're still kind of trying
to figure it out. But yeah,

298
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.079
they'll they'll all be here for this. So this they're they're excited. You've

299
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.880
appreciated fashion and art through your years
in that I'm wondering, is there a

300
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.440
statue out there that that you really
like or you have appreciated. There's so

301
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.559
many. You could just pick the
arena in Los Angeles, so there's about

302
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.519
fifty around that one. I think
a little more exclusive here at PNC Plaza,

303
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.960
yeah, a little bit, and
all the ones in Little Caesars Arena

304
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:44.720
in Detroit with those great guys,
in Chicago Stadium with Hall and Makida and

305
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.359
those guys, and and Jordan.
But I was at the Artist's Studio in

306
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.880
Chicago and right there was Barry Sanders, so big. I was a big

307
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.119
Barry Sanders fan, obviously growing up, still still starving for the Lions to

308
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.640
win a division. But he was
a big, big fan of Barry.

309
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.440
But yeah, it's amazing piece,
and you know he's it's just it looks

310
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.079
phenomenal. Well, you're the foundation
of everything that's gone on around here,

311
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:12.079
so it's very fitting you're going to
be drilled into the foundation outside this arena.

312
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.599
Congratulations, man, It's it's an
honor fitting you for sure. Thanks,

313
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:21.640
Raser appreciated it. Keep back.
That's awesome. I'm really happy for

314
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.759
him because when you think of one
person to represent a franchise, it's obviously

315
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.000
Dirk for the MAVs, no matter
I think no matter what happens with number

316
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.279
seventy seven. I think it's Phil
be dark no matter what, because he

317
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:41.720
brought the first championship here Madonno,
brought the first championship to the Stars first

318
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.599
and only. Yeah. Yeah,
And you wonder what the statue is going

319
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.920
to reflect, which image it's going
to reflect. It's got to be him

320
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:57.440
on a breakaway with the sweater just
flapping in the wind beyond the mall.

321
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.759
It. Yeah, I think that's
it, because I'm is there a single

322
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:11.680
iconic image of him from their Stanley
Cup year. He's got one hands up

323
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.599
there, hands up after a goal. But I think you're right, we

324
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.119
need we need breakaway right, sweater
and mullet in motion, I think.

325
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.599
But that's pretty bad ass man.
And he's sort of, I mean,

326
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.920
furthest thing from forgotten, but like
when you compare it to Dirk, who's

327
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.400
such a staple of the community and
all this, And Mike Berdono did kind

328
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.440
of leave like shortly after, and
I mean he played so he played for

329
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:37.799
Detroit right after he played here,
and then he got to what Scottsdale as

330
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.799
quick as he could and made a
tea time and fine, and that's fine.

331
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.880
But it's not like the I don't
know, the staple of DFW that

332
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.839
Dirk has has become on a lot
of levels. But well, and also

333
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.599
you keep in mind like that that
stars Stanley Cup was like nineteen ninety nine,

334
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.480
yep, ninety nine, and then
the MAVs didn't win their first until

335
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.960
twenty eleven, so there's, yeah, he's kind of Dirk is at least

336
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:07.599
a little more present of mind for
maybe younger sports fans in the Metroplex than

337
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.759
Madonna. So it might be people
that are showing up to the arena in

338
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.440
a couple of years agoing who's that
guy. I wonder if they'll put it

339
00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:18.079
right across from Dirk's, kind of
at the foot of the plaza. I

340
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.680
think that's the plan, right,
I don't know. I don't know that

341
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.680
would be the natural spot anyway,
Mike Madonna will join Dirk Novisky and shrined

342
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.720
forever with a statue in front of
the American Airline Center. Pretty pretty cool,

343
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.519
as Guntald, But Steve, what
do you got? Argentina elects the

344
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.519
new president and plumbers prepare for the
day after Thanksgiving
