Amanda Pete is fifty two today. Mana Pete uh saving Silverman. 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.039 That's really my maybe only reference for her. I don't know other things. 14 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.560 She was in a movie in the nineties where where she was topless and 15 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:06.480 it made it was it was like big viral news before things were viral. 16 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:08.079 It was like a big deal in it though. I think it had like 17 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.120 Matthew Perry in it or something. I oh, whole nine yards maybe that's 18 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.480 what it was. Eight heads in a Duffel bag. No, okay, 19 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.680 that's a movie. Might have been yards possibly. I believe she went to 20 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.599 like Harvard. She is ivy educated. Okay, I went to Harvard. 21 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.480 No, yeah, you went to the gift shop and got that start the 22 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:37.480 Harvard gift shop and bought a beans. You bought beans at Harvard Beans. 23 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.599 You went to Columbia University. Mike's roy sworn enemy, Mary J. Blige 24 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.799 is fifty three. She has my sworn enemy. Look, I love Mary 25 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.519 J. Blige. I was excited. I went to an NBA All Star 26 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.599 game party and it was Mary J. Blige is going to be there as 27 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.840 part of the reason. I went like, she sings one song. I'm 28 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.439 gonna love this. If I just see her, I'm like, that'd be 29 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.719 cool. And I got dressed up and I went there. It was snowing 30 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.400 ass and I drove through it all and I got to this party and then 31 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.039 I see the side door open and the grumpiest looking Mary J. Blige walked 32 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.120 in and sat right next to that door. For exactly ten minutes or whatever 33 00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:21.719 she was contractually obligated to do, didn't talk to one person, sunglasses on, 34 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.960 sat there miserably, and walked out that door. That sounds like one 35 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.560 of your former paid appearances at the ticket Let's go meet Mikey you at the 36 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.199 Moose Mobile store. Yeah, and I just in my car watching the two 37 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:39.199 minutes countdown until the top of the hour. Oh guys, Yeah, that's 38 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:45.479 all my fans when I walk into a Batteries plus So. Yeah. Since 39 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.759 that day, I'm anti Mary J. Blige And it's personal experiences that I 40 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.599 think we should determine how we feel about people. You just taught her her 41 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.439 on a bad moment. In ninety nine percent of the time, she's not 42 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.439 like that. Okay, well good. If I go to another party where 43 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.599 she's supposed to be there and mix and mingle with the good people of DFW 44 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.120 and she does that, then maybe it'll change my opinion. I'm sorry, 45 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.360 Okay, but you are a peri of larger context, and let's get the 46 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:20.159 full story before we make assumptions. You're going against that a little bit here, 47 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.800 No, I, but if I can apply a personal experience to interaction 48 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:29.280 with a celebrity. I mean, what are y'all's seeing her on stage listening 49 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:30.840 to her songs? That got all sounds nice. That's not the real person. 50 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.319 I saw the real Mary J. Blige. I played her in one 51 00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.439 on one, One Time West part of All Star Weekend. Yeah eleven. 52 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.080 Sorry, did she dunk on your little pumpkinhead? Yes? Robert ol keenes 53 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:50.400 sixty eight. Danny Yeah. People love him, think he's probably pretty damn 54 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.280 good. Jeff Cavanaugh probably not coming to work today. I don't know much 55 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.159 about him. I don't know anything about him. He do something we know 56 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.840 forever and the party never is O. That's good, gym. I like 57 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:08.479 that one. Corpus Christie Bay feeling good again, Gringo. Honeymoon dude is 58 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:15.039 a Texas legend. Okay, yes, I'll make you a playlist.

It is what a three 61 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.399 time pro bowler, two time Super Bowl champion, current radio sideline reporter for 62 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.720 the Packers radio broadcast, former Packers fullback slash running back, honestly offensive weapon. 63 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:44.199 It is John Coon whoa Hello John? You guys? Wow? What 64 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.120 an instant right there. I don't know why I deserve that, but okay, 65 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.560 thank you, No you didn't. I was just dressing it up. 66 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:54.959 Man. We like to welcome our visitors. How are you feeling? How 67 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.399 cold is it up in Green Bay today? Well, you know what, 68 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:02.519 we've actually had one of those warmest starts to winter that I can really remember. 69 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.560 We haven't had one what I consider a cold game at lambeau Field all 70 00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.199 season long. But as January dropped in, we got about six inches of 71 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.279 snow, then another three inches of snow, and now I'm here in a 72 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.319 big snowstorm coming in Friday night before we're supposed to take off on Saturday to 73 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.600 head down to Dallas. So winter is coming finally. What are you gonna 74 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.839 do on Saturday here in the big city of Dallas. I'll probably try and 75 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.600 get some of your guys a fancy barbecue. Right, Whenever you go on 76 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.879 the road to some of these away teams, you want to dine on whatever 77 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.040 is their local delicacy, and you guys have the best barbecue. So suggestions 78 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.240 where should I go? Oh my god, we're going to offend our friends 79 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.319 here because there's too many good spots. Okay, first, of all, 80 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.360 I would tell you, uh, where you're staying, Jue, what city 81 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:57.000 your area you're staying in would would help? Yeah, we are in Las 82 00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.959 Colinas. Okay, okay, if you wanted to zip over to Fort Worth, 83 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:08.480 I would recommend him barbecue. If you up by Arlington, Hertato Barbecue 84 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.079 would be an option. Oh yeah, there's too many. I'm gonna leave 85 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.959 people out. You guys think. What do you guys think about the ranch 86 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.040 and Lost Calenus? Is that a good place? The ranch? A ranch 87 00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.360 at Lost Calenus? That yeah, right, I don't know that one. 88 00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.399 Is that where the Byron Nelson used to be played? The golf course? 89 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.879 No, that's cool. That is to where it used to be. Okay, 90 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.360 yeah, I don't really know right now. That's where old Texas Stadium 91 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.480 used to be. Kind of over there in that area a little bit too, 92 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.279 uh but yeah, I don't know. Sorry, what uh barbecue for 93 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.519 you? Yeah? I know really, we're not we're buying anything, but 94 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.160 I will say this, it's more than barbecue down here. Now. Sure, 95 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.560 come down and eat some barbecue, and you probably only have one night, 96 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:55.839 but we have some incredible Asian delicacies. It's a great food city. 97 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.959 It's a great food city, so expand your horizons. Well, you don't 98 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.639 just have to do barbecue, you John. Okay, Okay, I'll take 99 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.920 your word for it, but I'm doing barbecue. Some of our listeners texted 100 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.879 it and said you should check out Dicky. So well, you know, 101 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.079 we'll go ahead and we'll get your number and text you some some good options 102 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.839 which we think think I sound good. Okay. So you played obviously from 103 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.839 seven to fifteen with the Packers. You know Mike McCarthy really well. I 104 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:24.199 would assume you still keep in touch or know him to this day a little 105 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.360 bit. I imagine you probably don't bother him much during the season. Huh. 106 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.360 What is your relationship like with coach McCarthy. Well, it's exactly what 107 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.120 you would expect a father figure and a coach that you want a Super Bowl 108 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:41.279 with, to be right. And I stayed living in Green Bay. I 109 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.600 was one of the crazies that actually liked it here and decided to stay here 110 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.600 after I was done playing football. And in fact, I have a cabin 111 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:53.000 up north that's literally three houses away from coach Mike, so I see him 112 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.839 throughout the summer when he comes up here during his time off after the all 113 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.560 season programming before training camp starts. And I can tell you one thing about 114 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.439 coach Mike, he is he is one heck of a human being above anything 115 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.319 else, and he cares about each one of his players. He cares about 116 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.959 winning, and he cares about them after they're done playing too, which makes 117 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.560 it a really special relationship. So you're by the barn, the famous McCarthy 118 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.439 barn. Is that where that's located. That's that's that's in town in Green 119 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.439 Bay. We also have some places up north in Door County. It's about 120 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.600 an hour and a half north of Green Bay, right on the water. 121 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.600 You know, Coach Mike, he likes to be on the water. He's 122 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.919 got that big old boat that he takes around and likes to show off. 123 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.440 Doesn't drive it a whole lot as a driver for that, but he likes 124 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.840 to get out there and show off a little bit on the water. So 125 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.480 when you go to the because Green Bay is obviously you know, smaller town, 126 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.600 when you go to like the grocery store and things like that, do 127 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.360 you get noticed John, Well, yeah, it's a small town. I 128 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.840 will say this about the fans in Green Bay. And I played in Pittsburgh 129 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.720 and New Orleans also two other really good fan bases. But the fans in 130 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.279 green are interesting because they take such great pride in not having an owner and 131 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.600 the fact that this football team is a part of the NFL since nineteen nineteen, 132 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.919 that they almost feel like they are a part of the team, not 133 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.519 just in the sense of the word as a fan and kind of a feeling. 134 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.720 They believe the players are their kids. They believe the players are their 135 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.480 brothers and sisters. So they just kind of wave tid, they nod to 136 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.919 you. They don't talk to you a whole lot, they don't bother you 137 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.320 a whole lot, but they just want you to know that, hey, 138 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.559 they appreciate you and good luck this week. And it's a really cool it's 139 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.120 a really cool bond between the fans and Green Bay and the players. So 140 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.480 this offense right now with the Packers, I mean, they're playing pretty well. 141 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.480 Obviously they had been like the best opponents. They're playing really well. 142 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.840 Jordan Love's kind of been really awesome the last half of the season, maybe 143 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.240 one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL the last half of the season. 144 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.320 The Packers have a fighting chance here on Sunday, because I mean, I 145 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.600 think they are the underdog by a lot. We're kind of talking about maybe 146 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.919 I said, a little bit of maybe overconfidence by some of the fans here, 147 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.559 maybe the people we run around with here in town. The Packers have 148 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:09.840 much of a chance on Sunday to you, yeah, I would say the 149 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.919 Cowboys fans have reason to have some confidence going into this football game, because 150 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.440 when you look at a game like this, you start looking at your your 151 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.759 recipe or your script to success. How do you get to a victory? 152 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.399 And for the Green Bay Packers, there's several things that have to, you 153 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.879 know, fall into line. For Dallas Cowboys, they could play a sloppy 154 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.080 quarter or maybe even a sloppy half and still figure out how to win this 155 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.480 football game depending on how that goes. And you know, for the Packers, 156 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.840 they're facing a top five offense, a top five defense, and this 157 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.240 Packers team, who has been up and down offensively, has hit its stride 158 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.799 as of late. But they're gonna have to score some points. Looking that, 159 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.440 on the other side of the football, you got Dak Prescott, a 160 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.000 number one scoring offense, and the whole NFL. So I say that to 161 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.840 say this Cowboys defense has been so good, but they've they've turned the ball 162 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.799 their own opponents. I think that is going to play a big part in 163 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.120 this football game, because a lot of their success defensively has to do with 164 00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.159 the turnovers that they have. The green bit Packers are one of the best 165 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.679 teams in the NFL of taking care of the football. If they can play 166 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.080 to that, if they can play to their style of football, they can 167 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.200 keep this thing close. Score some points. You've got to be a fishing 168 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.600 in the red zone and then keep it close at the end and anything. 169 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.200 It could be a coin flip at the end. If it doesn't go that 170 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.320 way, if the Cowboys turn the ball over, if the Cowboys score two 171 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.639 touchdowns on their first two drives, and this thing turns into you know, 172 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.840 Packers have to throw the football and not just be able to run with Aaron 173 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.759 Jones, this thing could get out of control. Being as close as you 174 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.960 are to coach McCarthy and I'm sure you've kept your eye on the Cowboys this 175 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:48.159 season and his trajectory. How do you feel about his evolution as a play 176 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.600 caller throughout the season and do you feel like it is decidedly different now? 177 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.600 Than it was in the beginning. Yeah, I do, I really do. 178 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.720 And I got to say this when coach Michael green Bay, he was 179 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.639 constantly evolving, always trying to tinker and tweak the offense as he was calling 180 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.559 it, or if Tom Clemens was calling it, or if Edgar Bennett was 181 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.360 calling it, didn't matter. He was always trying to tweak it and evolve 182 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.519 it. And quite frankly, that's you know what ended up turning into a 183 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.759 disaster in seventeen and eighteen in green Bay. The evolution of the offense was 184 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:26.120 not good. It evolved into a bad spot and it didn't resonate with the 185 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.639 players. But I see down in Dallas more of a rejuvenated MIC. He's 186 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.679 mixing up personnel groups, he's using shifts emotions very well. He's keeping defenses 187 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.240 in a spot where they have to communicate constantly pre snaps that all the checks 188 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.799 and balances are done post snap for the defense and that makes it very difficult 189 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.039 on him. So I like what he has done, and Dak Prescott has 190 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.840 been exceptional throughout the course of the season. I think he's deserve it of 191 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:58.519 at least an MVP vote, if not making it competitive with Lamar Jackson. 192 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.120 So yeah, I like every thing that Mikey's done with that offense down there. 193 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.200 But I got to tell you, guys, I'm not surprised this is 194 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.360 a John Kuhn former Packers or Are you a fullbacker or running back? I 195 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.080 mean, look, they used you at running back sometimes. What do you 196 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.440 prefer to go buy offensive weapon? What are you? Man? I'm gonna 197 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.480 call it running back on that one. That's that's the title I'll take right 198 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.279 there. Thank you. I appreciate it. Former pack of count looky, 199 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.360 Yeah, former Backers running back John Kuhn also does the sideline. He's just 200 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:35.559 radio open and green Baby also does sidelines for the Packers radio broadcast. So 201 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.919 like when you had played the Super Bowl here, that was ice storm weekend 202 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.879 here in DFW, And when you played in the game, do you remember 203 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.960 much about that week and how crazy it was weather wise because we weren't really 204 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.120 ready to handle that type of weather down here in DFW. What do you 205 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:56.519 remember about that week? I remember telling every Texan that I came in contact 206 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.679 with that sand is not the same thing as salt. They don't work the 207 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.000 same on the roads. So when you put sand on top of ice, 208 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.080 it just stays slippery, it doesn't grab at all. Yeah, we were 209 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.279 really looking forward to a warm weather Super Bowl figure and that we were coming 210 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.840 from Green Bay. But the snow put us right into our place. And 211 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.440 I'll tell you guys this. We were supposed to practice at SMU Stadium, 212 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.440 what you guys know is an outside stadium. We cannot do that that week 213 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.840 because they didn't have the ability to because it was kind of ice, but 214 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.879 it was kind of snow and it was a little bit of a mush and 215 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.039 with that turf field, they weren't really able to make the field safe for 216 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.879 us to practice on. So we had to practice at a high school. 217 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.960 And I can't remember which high school was, but we I was fascinated by 218 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.440 the fact that we practiced at a high school indoor practice facility. I'm gonna 219 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.279 say that again because it wis continent that has unheard of an indoor practice facility 220 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.679 for high school. And it was fascinating. It was fun because a lot 221 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.480 of us got that throwback field of what it used to be like to be 222 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.639 in high school and when you play football in high school, and the smells 223 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:01.480 of the high school locker room and the smells of the high school practice facility. 224 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.879 It was fun. It was kind of bringing us back to our childhoods 225 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.600 before we went into the biggest game of our lives. Are you, as 226 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.720 I'm asking you, because he's in the headlines a lot, are you in 227 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.919 touch with your old quarterback Aaron Rodgers much? Oh? Yeah. I talked 228 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.200 to him still from time to time, and I let him know when he 229 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.600 gets the world, you know, freaking out about the things that he says, 230 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.320 and you know he likes to have fun with that type of stuff. 231 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:31.039 And hey, here's the deal with Aaron Rodgers man. Unfortunate situation with the 232 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.559 Achilles this year. I was really looking forward to seeing what he could do 233 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.200 with the New York Jets with that roster and in that market did not come 234 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.480 to be. And I'm just wondering, right, he turns forty years old 235 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.120 next year, how long is he going to continue to do this? Because 236 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.200 you'd like to see him at least be able to finish the season before he 237 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.080 calls it a career. Let me ask you a question about Aaron real quick. 238 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.360 And I don't want to linger on this. Part of me believe he 239 00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.519 wants to believe because I think he's kind of a smart ass. That part 240 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.679 of him is just trolling the world with some of his stuff. I was 241 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:10.879 curious, you obviously know him better than most how what percentage of that is 242 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.039 real deep belief conviction and how much of it is just, you know, 243 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.720 I'm just going to throw a can of gas on it and just watch people 244 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.519 react. I would say it's a good bit of both, and I would 245 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:27.559 say there's also a good bit of sarcasm. There's a good bit of inside 246 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:34.360 innuendos jokes that only his closest friends truly understand, which you would say doesn't 247 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.960 make for good theater, doesn't make for good television. But to him, 248 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:44.080 that's what's funny. That's that's how he likes to roll. And he's always 249 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:48.759 been one to be distrustful of the media in some sense. He doesn't feel 250 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:55.000 like they drive the correct narrative that they should drive, so to that extent, 251 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.840 he doesn't care if he throws them off the scent of what he really 252 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.840 believes in, how he really feels based on all of the things that he 253 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.799 says. But boy, I'll tell you it's polarizing. Appear in Green Bay. 254 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:08.920 It's it's definitely polarizing and that the fan base is one or the other. 255 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.799 There's never an in between. With Aaron Rodgers, it was the same. 256 00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.920 It's the same story. He's repeating itself though, because it was like 257 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.079 that when far of into the Vikings, they hated him for like a year 258 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.759 and it's like two three years and they rehabbed it and we're all good now. 259 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.440 And I it's kind of like just to even Jordan Love's stats were identical 260 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.200 to Aaron Rodgers through like thirteen games, Like the amount of passing yards is 261 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.240 the same number. Like, it's just it's just weird how his history is 262 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.559 repeating itself. I don't know, just nothing. Yeah, I really think 263 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.519 there's somebody that Green Bay should pull aside and say, we dedicate you to 264 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.039 Jordan Love, and we want to make sure that you teach him that in 265 00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:56.119 fifteen to seventeen years there's going to be another transition with another quarterback and he's 266 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:57.799 going to be cool with it, because we don't need this type of circus 267 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.440 every time a Halo of fame quarterback leads their guys. That's been fascinating and 268 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.640 the fan base here in kareaem Bay has literally watched this play itself out what 269 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.160 looks like to be the start of a third time in a row. Who's 270 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.519 going to win the Super Bowl? John? I'm calling Ravens forty nine ers 271 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.559 and rematches the game that we saw just a couple of weeks ago. And 272 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:26.240 I'll tell you it's hard to go against the Ravens right now, even with 273 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.640 the injuries that they have, especially Mark Andrews, because their defense is so 274 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.480 dominant. Their defense dominated what I thought was the best offense in the NFL, 275 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:40.000 which was forty nine ers, and came back the next week and dominated 276 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.880 the second best offense and I thought was in the NFL into Miami Dolphins, 277 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.400 dominated both of them. I don't know how you can pick anybody but the 278 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.960 Ravens. What's your favorite animal? Oh? We're getting wild here, aren't 279 00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:56.599 we An English bulldog? You got one of those? I did? Yeah, 280 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.519 I had two of them. What's your favorite them? All to pray 281 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:08.759 upon? To pray upon? I guess, I guess beef beef steak Is 282 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.440 that what you're talking about? You give him some good steak and beef. 283 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.839 It all comes full circle back to barbecue. Done it? John? All 284 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.839 Right? So we've got I got a spot for you. It's on Irving 285 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.839 Boulevard and it's right by where you're staying. And we all know this place. 286 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.000 We I don't know if any of you guys have eaten there, but 287 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:32.680 it's called slow Bone. Oh yes, slow Bone is top notch. Yes, 288 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.400 slow Bone, and it's on Irving Boulevard.

Fantastic, Thank you guys, yes sir, And 291 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:47.839 now you guys made it worth my while there. Absolutely well. Enjoy your 292 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:52.079 time here in DFW and safe travels and all that good stuff. And we'll 293 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.039 talk to you down the road.

Alumni of Shippensburg 297 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:18.319 College, Pennsylvania kid originally right yeah, Pennsylvania kid for sports stud and went 298 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:23.240 to Shippensburg and then undrafted and then into a twelve year NFL career with two 299 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.960 Super bowls. I love undrafted man. He won the Super Bowl with Fire 300 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:32.000 Van with a rod Is that correct? No, just Rogers, he won 301 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.119 with Breeze And no, he won with the Steelers in his rookie year. 302 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.400 No, I think he went with Drew Brees the year the Saints one. 303 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.880 Yeah, no, no, you're right he won his rookie year. That 304 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:49.319 would have been Super Bowl when the Steelers beat the Seahawks yep, two thousand 305 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.440 and six. Oh yeah, I remember that one because I was a senior 306 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:59.200 in high school. Holy cow, wow, when they do yell kun at 307 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.720 your TV whenever, I was always highly uncomfortable by that too. Well, 308 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.599 the crowd would yell yeah, it's like it's already a bunch of white people. 309 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.160 I mean, it's his name, it's not they're not they're champing. 310 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.079 Oh yeah, yeah. I felt like there was probably a few, just 311 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.920 a small enough percentage of fans there who were liking it too much. You 312 00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:25.079 know, go ahead, just back then, the white full back is one 313 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:30.240 of the uh crowd favorites always, yeah, especially back then when they get 314 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.440 the ball a decent amount like he did third one. Yes, yes, 315 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.920 he's gonna get it, and he does just truck a guy. Yeah, 316 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.039 you know, badass fall apart in his Super Bowl year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 317 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.920 For the season he went had two rushing attempts for eighteen yards and one 318 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.720 reception for fifteen yards. Oh yeah, made the difference. MacArthur used him 319 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.960 a lot in Green Bay and kind of odd rolls like you'd hand it to 320 00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.559 him every once in a while and throw it to him a little bit. 321 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:03.920 I mean seeing the amount of touches that he had. Yeah, he had 322 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.440 a pretty decent amount of touchdowns for his career. Well. He also said 323 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.319 that Cowboys fans should be confident about this game, and I would agree. 324 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:17.960 So there is that we have a super wildcard pump session in thirty minutes. 325 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.440 And also if you've got crazy dating app stories, nine o'clock will be the 326 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:23.400 time for you two one four or eight one seven seven eight seven one nine 327 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.240 seven one.
