Speaker 1: When your old career gives you lemons throwing some ice,
mixing some vodka. We call it a podcast from the
Mac of All Trade Studio in Fairport and driven by
Victor Chrysler Dots. Geeve Ram, It's Billified, the Bill Moran Podcast.
Speaker 2: Way, hell and welcome. Thank you for getting your pot on.
Thanks for telling your friends and your co workers your
enemies all about the podcast. Well take it all, right, daddy,
We'll take it all.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hate this, You gotta listen to the whole
thing though, your enemies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait for it. Wait, wait for it. Wait, I
hate those fits.
Speaker 3: Wait for it four minutes later. Okay, I'm still waiting.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We'll be doing lots of fun things in the
in the next week or so, looking forward to Yeah,
I know, I got well, I don't.
Speaker 3: Got a big holiday, A couple of big holidays coming up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Presidents of Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day, Yes, President's Day, said Valentine to your favorite president?
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, President's Day.
Speaker 3: To read about presidents slately, okay, and what have you
learned quite a bit?
Speaker 2: Okay about what president? Here?
Speaker 3: Here's my favorite tidbit for this book. Bill o'reiley called
Confronting the Presidents. There's a lot of mistakes in this book.
And if I know the mistakes, then O'Reilly must have
just wrote it together in like fifteen minutes. But I'm
not a Bill Riley guy. But I saw the book.
It was cheap at BJ so I grabbed it. Okay,
I can learn about our presidents. Andrew Jackson had a parrot.
Apparently Andrew Jackson. We know that he was kind of
racist and swore a lot and this parent would pay.
Speaker 2: He was a frontiersman, yes he was.
Speaker 3: He was a self made guy.
Speaker 2: He literally had a At his inauguration, they were swinging
from the chandeliers, no lie, and pissing on the walls.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes it was yes. And so at his
funeral they had to escort the parrot out of the
funeral because the parrot kept swearing and just repeating stuff
that Jackson would say in the White House about everyone
and everything.
Speaker 2: They but fuck you.
Speaker 3: My thought was, who brings a parrot to a funeral?
Speaker 2: I don't know the presidential parrot.
Speaker 3: The first parrot want to be barred from the funeral
as the president lion state because he kept swearing that
was to be the most fascinating thing. The other thing
I kind of got was President Nixon was kind of misunderstood.
Speaker 2: Oh he was brilliant, he really was. Nixon was a
brilliant man. I'm not saying that he cheated. He cheated,
he did a disservice.
Speaker 3: Well, they can't prove that he knew. But the cover
up's always worse than fucking. But the cover up's always worse.
Speaker 2: But he was a brilliant man. He was like mensa.
Speaker 3: He was VP for like eight years, then ran against Kennedy,
barely lost while yo right. Then the mayor of Chicago
gets invited. He's the second guy invited to the Oval
after Jackie would JFK takes the oath of office. Oh,
I wonder how that happened. Then he runs again, he
wins in sixty eight, and then all of a sudden,
we know what happened after. And then Ford, because he
parted him, he loses the carter biting the slimmest of margins.
Then the country goes into a tail spin and here
comes Roddy. Roddy saves the day.
Speaker 2: Danny, you know that that kind of history. I always
think like, if you could learn that kind of history
as uh, it must me experience poor frame. I don't
know what. There's all kinds of tech things. Pardon me,
I'm getting messages. I sit here a mission control, I
got the cameras.
Speaker 3: The easier life gets, the harder it gets. Is that
what it is with tech?
Speaker 2: But what I was going to say is that a
lot of times I feel like if you could if
you could sprinkle, and you'd have to be careful, and
it would depend on the age of the student, but
if you could sprinkle in some some of the stuff,
because don't forget history. We hear. What I refer to
history now is the Instagram highlights. That's what we get,
and even some of the ugly, but we get the
Instagram highlights. Where where if you could realize these people
were human, right, and even though they may have done
something historically significant and magnanimous at the time, they were
still human beings, you know, I mean, you could talk
about like, for example, we're in Black History month, Martin
Luther King, right, Martin Luther King amazing his letter if
anybody's ever read it from from the jail in Birmingham.
I forget what the title of it was, but it's
it's a magnificent, well written letter. It talks about his
disgust in not more of the moderate white people who
would go, well, listen, I hear you, I hear it,
and I see it. I see it, but you gotta
wait your time, right, And it was the white church,
do you know what I'm saying? Yes, yes, But and
he pushed and and to talk about you know, people
and the differences and the and the real struggles and
and and attempting to do all this in a peaceful manner, right,
in a peaceful manner, and knowing that the odds are
really stacked against you and people don't want this, and
you did it. So that's what we hear. But then
there's also the darker. So the guy had many different women.
And sure, because he was in power, he was attractive.
He's a handsome guy. You know. Women found that attractive.
They wanted to be around him. He had charisma and
so there you go. But he was a bit of
a philanderer, right, wouldn't that be fun.
Speaker 3: To just civil rights leads?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just saying, like I know, and not not
to disgrace somebody that's not my baut but would you
remember that, and would it made me also help you
remember the good stuff as well, and would make the
school a little more exciting if you were a senior
and you goes all right, We've talked a lot about
Martin Luther King throughout your your career, but like, here's
something you may not know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's what. It's not on the reasons, but maybe
it should be.
Speaker 2: It's my point. Like I was saying to Danny, I who.
Speaker 3: Was in Martin Luther King Junior's hotel room when he
was assassinated.
Speaker 2: No what he knows? People people know. I was saying
to Danny because Danny said to me, how subbing going.
I I've been very open on the podcast that I
have been substitute teaching only because Jamison came. And it
was for two reasons really. One, he's eating me out
of house at home, and I needed to find something
that was going to be quick to get a little
more money, right and just even out the boat.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then the other is to sort of know what's
happening in the school to be able to help him
because he's a guy who hasn't really been in a
traditional classroom setting in about three years. So were those
two things were sort of motivating factors. And I said
to Danny and go, imagine walking in and I'm your
sub But I have to tell you like so I
they would have me every day if I chose, if
I choose that. So they at a secondary school. They
wanted me there as much as they can get me,
and they asked me if I would come in, and
then they sent me a text this morning going, hey,
our intermediate school, our fourth, fifth, sixth grade school is
really depleted. Just just go over there. Now. I've done
this once or twice before. So the problem is that
it's me and what I have is a phone that
probably has two hundred and seventy one unread text messages.
Speaker 3: Oh, I got a text from my phone about you today, saying,
bom Brandon. It's probably offline because I sent you a
text about what time we're gonna meet. I know you
got back to me, But in between between my message
and your message, I got a message from the messenger. No,
I'm not joking. I could show it, Bill Muran, maybe offline.
Speaker 2: Two hundred and ninety. I have two hundred ninety text messages.
I'm just letting you know. Yeah, I have tons of
mis calls. I know I'm terrible. This I'm not terrible.
I just try to look at it. Here's the thing
is terrible rolls across. I read it, I see it,
I store the knowledge, and I go on with my
desk shack.
Speaker 3: You know how you with three free throws. Billy Moran's
like that with text messages.
Speaker 2: Terrible. It's probably terrible shock with text message so terrible.
What they want the school is different these days. They've
got smartboards and they don't do the morning announcements over
the announcements anymore. It's actual video that they stream that
they tape like five minutes earlier.
Speaker 3: Oh my wife does those, she tapes them like the
night before. Okay, so attention students. Yes, So then you've
got you gotta stream it well. In order to do that,
you have to have a computer. And in order to
have the computer, you got to have well username and
a past word, which I was given and I never
use seven billion emails.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't even gotten into this.
Speaker 3: Missus Carter's retirement parties at two forty five. Make sure
you bring a dish. There will be cake and ice cream.
If you are allergic, there will also be a gluten
free cake. Fucking funny.
Speaker 2: So that's so funny, Carter, Like, I don't even know.
I gotta tell you something. I don't know people, I
don't know them. I say, Hi, I don't know. I
don't really really.
Speaker 3: Also, if you have your permission, slip the flu shot,
fan will be here from one to three.
Speaker 2: Got a pass, so I uh so I go to
the intermediate school, in the high in the secondary school,
I can just most of the kids are doing stuff.
A lot of times I'm all over the place. I've
been with kids that would be deemed special needs, and
I've been with AP kids, and I like them. All
the AP kids.
Speaker 3: Can't tell the difference.
Speaker 2: Yes, I get the AP kids are fantastic, and I
have like cool discussions with them. We talk music, we
talk current events stuff. No, but Woostock ninety nine has
come up a few times and I was there, so
it's cool to talk to them. Yeah, it's just interesting
and I am not shy, so you know, I kind
of come in. Well, I've done sixth grade before, and
there's classes sometimes are co taught, so somebody's homeroom will
go for English and solid studies to another classroom and
her classroom will come over for math and science. Well
I I substitute taught ones for the English and history lady. Okay,
no big deal. So this time I show up and
I'm going there's no the sub plans are in the
fold or online, and I go, yeah.
Speaker 3: I gotta go online. What's my password?
Speaker 2: Now I was getting a little bit of anxiety about
this because I go, I don't even know what I'm
going to do, because once I got the message, because
I know I'm gonna need this today and I knew
and I should have reset it. I should have done that.
I never did. So now I get there and I
get there like an hour early, which is okay. So
I go in and I talked to this other teacher
and she says to me, oh, I know who you are.
You were the one who subbed for me, and the
kids loved you. They thought you were great. Do they
call you mister mister? And I said, yes, carry on
my way?
Speaker 3: Did you road it out? Travel?
Speaker 2: I played this song for them? Do do do do?
Do they call me mister mister? Yeah? Because they went mister.
Because I'm so terrible at this at this that I
don't introduce myself. The kids come in and I go, hey,
and I'll ask him like who had the longest coldest
weight at the school bus stop? So that's it. But
I never introduced myself, so they go. One of the
kids goes, mister mister, and I go, oh, like the
band from the eighties. That's good. That's how it stuck.
So when I came back in, they're like, oh, mister mister,
Well so now it's early. I gotta go figure all
this out. So I wind up trying to log in
and it says my stuff was torment for so long
that discontinued. I don't know. So now I gotta go
find the tech people. I got all this stuff, so
we get it going. And in between, when I as
I'm going down to try to figure this out, this
lovely woman a little bit older than me, stops me
and says, I can talk to you about what they
did in math yesterday. She goes, I just want you
to know where they are. This this group is a handful,
and I said, oh, I go, well, listen, I gotta
go figure this computer out, but I'll be back here
and when I am, you know, we can talk. And
she said great, So I go down get my stuff.
I come back up and the other teacher who is
next door, who i'd sup for before, she comes walking over.
And this other lady, I don't know where she came from.
She was like just kind of their telebeamed in and
she and this woman said, yeah, I'll show you some
of the things that the kids were doing. And this
one goes, I was just gonna help them sean where
we were with math, and the other lady basically threw
up her hands and just went great and walked away.
So I get in there, sell tell me all about
the math stuff and the concepts and this, and then
she looks at me. She gets very serious. She says
to me, this is this group is a handful. This
may be one of the worst sixth grade classes we've
ever had.
Speaker 3: I've been teaching so for twenty seven years.
Speaker 2: Well, it turns out that lady is a retired teacher.
But I didn't know this at the time, and she
had subbed with them the day before.
Speaker 3: And I talked through the Reagan years. Yes, they gave
her this was the worst. She said, also the fattest.
Speaker 2: The worst. So I said, oh, I go, I've had
these kids once before. I go, they were great. She goes, well,
it's because you're a man and you're tall. And I went, oh,
I didn't know that I had anything to do with it.
And she's like, oh yeah, she goes, they'll pay more attention.
So we talked and she's telling me, I mean, she's
given me the littaniness. The kid that sits here cannot
leave without having a written note from anybody. The kid
over here, if he farts, you write him up. If
the kid over here, if he sneezes sideways, you tell
on him. Like basically, I'm thinking the joke out of it,
but it was basically a warning as to, you know,
get ready because they're coming.
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're getting ready to do co work in
a prison.
Speaker 2: They were fine. However, at one point, I'm doing a
science get your stick ready, I'm doing a science thing
with these kids and we're talking and they had just
come back from lunch and recess. Do you think they're
a little elevated. Absolutely, they got a lot of energy. Yeah,
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: That's what I usually give you a gym after lunch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what it was recess, then lunch, then they're back.
So now they're back, and so I got the kids
and I start going around and then I'm like, do
you understand? And we're talking about why Australia has more
incidents of skin cancer than a country like Brazil, and
the reason is ozone layer. There's less ozone over Australia
than there is over that and UV rays get absorbed.
Speaker 3: That's what they get for England sending all the criminals there. Well,
they stole the ozone the other that's it. And so
so it's it just making me laugh. So I go
around on high five.
Speaker 2: Yes, and we're high five and all this one kid
jumps out of her chair and it slams against the wall,
and the wall is one of those folding walls that
used to have a gym class. All of a sudden,
the teacher from the other side comes running over and
she goes, it's everything okay, And I go on, I
too loud. She goes, no, she looks at up. She goes, oh,
they're engaged. She goes, well why, and this girl goes,
I got up too quick in my chair. So I
didn't even know what happened. I didn't even know what happened.
But I'm like, you go in with Go into anything.
Take it away from just this example. Yes, go into
anything with a crappy attitude. You're gonna have a crappy experience.
And it goes back to everything I always say about
your mind. And I just was determined to have fun
with these kids? Are some of them? Did I basically
have to almost sit next to one kid to get
him to do his work? Yes? Did I care? Absolutely not?
Did the kid I could make jokes? I mean the
kid and the kid I think he I don't know
if he was embarrassed not. This kid farted. I thought
the wallstern purple. It was unbelievable. And I sat right
in it for like three minutes helping him with a
math problem.
Speaker 3: You're like that guy, you like Scott Hetsk doing the weather.
Oh you got a warm front coming in through here.
Speaker 2: It was It's wild, But I go, is it? I
have a different theory that I will keep my mouth
shut about. But you know, I'm not with him every day,
so I get to be to come in and just
and have fun. And I don't I always figure it
this way. I'm not here to up end the apple car.
I'm not here to try to get a job. I'm
just here to have a little bit of fun. You know,
I've enjoyed this way more than I thought. I still
get to do the podcast, which I love more than
really anything doing, and it's it's all kind of works
seamlessly for me. And it's been nice because I've been
able to I got a lot of expenses being a
formerly union demn you know what I'm saying. So all right,
so but I went, wow, they're not this way. But
when you're coming in and you're expecting, I think school's hard,
and I think it's especially hard I've said to you
before for young boys. It's hard to sit that long. Like,
it's hard to sit and you've got to pay attention
to stuff. Dude, it's hard to do that now, and
it's boring. It's boring. You don't want to do it
when everything that you're you're stimulated by every video that
comes out and every TikTok and every everything, and now
you got to sit there and you got to pretend.
Like the ozone layer and the fact that Australia has
higher rates of skin cancer, who cares, you know what
I'm saying. And yet if you can reach them, that's
why I go back to your history thing. Wouldn't it
be fun to know that Andrew Jackson, you know they
were swinging from the shande laders and pissing on the walls.
That's true.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of teachers when they get out
of college, they the ones who want to teach. Okay,
not the ones who gotten teaching because they wanted summers
off and all the perks of being a teacher. And
I'll just put up with it. There's a lot of those.
There's also the teachers that really want to make a
difference and educate, and after about five or six years,
they get so jamed. I'm sure I think that I
think that they just get resigned to it. It's not
it's not at all. I've lived next to teachers. I'm
married to a teacher. I've always believed. I've always said this.
I go, You'll rarely see me ay wearing a jersey
with the professional athletes name on it. What we should
do is wear jerseys with teachers names on them, because
your teachers are gonna have more of an impact on
your life than you could ever imagine.
Speaker 2: But the other thing is to your point, I come in.
I don't have to get you ready for your test
on Friday. I don't have to make sure that you
understand this material. Don't you're like a prostitute? Yes, exactly
what I am? Right, I am exactly so it's just
but yes, that's hard. So now you've got that breathing
down your neck. Do you want the teacher know what's
going on in your own.
Speaker 3: Do you want the regent's experience?
Speaker 2: Well, i'd like the ap experience if you can give
me that. All right, Danny had some we haven't seen him.
Speaker 3: Said yes, sir, but like you asked me before the podcast,
Yes about you asked me about what you asked me about.
Speaker 2: I said, what would you do if if you walked
into your classroom and I was yourself, I.
Speaker 3: Would be I would stand at attention, I'd pay respect
because you look like someone who does it f around
because even though I don't I don't know you, Remember,
I don't know you, but I see like, oh, he's
tall and he looks pretty in good shape. You know what,
I'm not gonna f with this guy today?
Speaker 2: Well I did, but if the teacher like but if.
Speaker 3: The teacher is a female, we would always like screw
off and then she would lay the hammer down.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, we had a substitute teacher. Now I
got to tell you the substitute teacher. Sorry, this woman.
I don't know what she did. She was old when
I got there. When I say old, like, she had
a face that if you took a brown paper bag
and wrinkled it up and then made a muppet, you
could have made her. And I couldn't remember her name.
But she was delightful, and she traveled all over the world.
She wore big, big rings and like big stones that
she got from Bermuda and stuff, and she would tell
you these stories. But she was old, and she had
a stark white hair, and she was blind in one eye.
And I had a nickname, Cyclops.
Speaker 4: He's always hey, we got Cyclops today. So I would
always wait till something till I would try to get
on the blind side. I would try to get on
the blind side, and I would do something that would
either be aimed at her or something I knew would
like spark somebody else from across the room, and she would.
Speaker 3: Throw a pator. She had like a glass eye, No,
she had.
Speaker 2: To like a glass eye, but it was like all
squinted up. Yeah, and she would come into her her
fingers were all crooked. I mean she really looked like
and she dressed yes, and had lots of jewelry, and
would tell you about all these extravagant trips and travels
she went on and all that stuff. And so you know,
like if you didn't want to learn, you just asked
her where she went, she'd give you forty five minute
dissertation on uh, you know, the the the difference in
the animals between here in Australia or whatever it is.
But the duck bill platypus is the only mammal that
lays eggs. I remember telling us that, so you could
have that. I I was an awful student to uh
substitute teachers. Cyclopes Yeah, cyclopes, Wow, yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had we had some. We had all kinds
of different substitutes of Silver Creek. But then we had
this one named Missus Garner. And Missus Garner lived in
a location that all the buses had to go by
at least once a day, maybe twice a day. Right,
So she'd sit on our front porch with her husband,
who sat in a wheelchair and had one foot. Okay,
so you so you knew where missus Garner lived, and
missus Garner would try to buy the kid's love.
Speaker 2: Why she had a score, even the extra sock.
Speaker 3: She would offer prizes like if you if you got
written up less than one time, you get a mechanical pencil,
two to three times, you get a pencil, three to
five times, you get a special eraser. But she would
try to like reward us from behaving. It's like, where'd
she get all.
Speaker 2: These like the schools all.
Speaker 3: Like where'd you get the meat? Like if you're substitute teaching,
where do you get the money?
Speaker 2: Disability? I kept sewing her husband's disability.
Speaker 3: You know what cost us the.
Speaker 2: Only family on the planet. Though it was happy, happy
that the dryer ate a sock. The sock and the
dryer they were okay with that.
Speaker 3: This sock mounsters, What was he going to tell you
about substitutents.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I even was awful to teachers. I had one that
looked like Booger from the Avenge of the Nerds, and
I called him Booger too, So he used to get
so pissed at me, and I would never stop. I
would get up and I go, he goes, Miss Marian,
where are you going, booger. I'll be right back. I
gotta go to the bathroom real bad, and I would
say booger. And then I remember once my social studies teacher,
who I loved and was just like a little bit
wild as a teacher, he chased me through the hallway
with a giant wet paper towel. Right, and I don't
remember because I think I did something stupid in his class.
And I went running into the cafeteria, which was also
then a study hall. If you were a senior or
a junior, you could eat during study hall, so they
called it the Commons. So I go running into Commons
and this teacher McNeil is right behind me and he
fires this wet paper towel, I mean fires it and
I duck and it hits Booger and Booger was flipping out.
It was the greatest, It was the greatest, greatest moment.
I was a here God, it was one of those ones. Danny,
you go, where were the cameras? Yeah? Where were the cameras?
I want to know? We will take them home with
Dan's got thoughts. We haven't talked since the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3: Let it go like that? Elsa lady? Yeah? Is that
that movie with was it called Frosts?
Speaker 2: You sound like?
Speaker 3: Uh? Was a Disney movie with the two Frozen.
Speaker 2: You've seen it with your niece.
Speaker 3: I've heard about it.
Speaker 2: You've seen it with your niece.
Speaker 3: ID to buy it? Elsa toy for my niece once.
Speaker 2: Uh Danny, I will say that as Buffalo Bills fans,
I don't believe the Bills would have been able to
beat the Eagles. I think the Eagles were unstoppable. And
I think Jalen Hurts. You know a lot of people criticize, well,
they have been doing this. They bottled up Saquan and
there were more weapons, and I thought Jalen Hurts showed
how good he can.
Speaker 3: Be Howie Roseman and took him a while to do this,
and the Eagles could have lost him and they didn't.
Speaker 2: General manager.
Speaker 3: The general manager, right is the best personnel guy in football.
And you could make an argument. I don't want to,
I don't want to make a hyperbolic argument, but you
could make an argue that he's one of the best
talent evaluators ever because he's had to do it in
a salary cap era, and he's had to do it
with a quarterback who you know, while he's on a
I don't know if he's on a rookie deal, if
he signed an extension. But the point is that it's
very hard to win in today's NFL. Like the Patriots did,
rolls you and by the way with Kansas City's been
able to do too. That roster is incredible. We don't
One of my thoughts on this was a lot of
Bills fans and Bills reporters and Bill's radio guys are like,
I think the Bills would have done better. I don't
know if we would have won, but I think we
would have done better. And to be honest with you,
it doesn't matter because they couldn't beat Chiefs and she's
got their asses kicked, so it's irrelevant. We could dream it,
but we've every possible scenario that we've always dreamed of
ends up getting like shellac the year after when they
have to prove that scenario. So I don't think the
Bills win. I don't even think it matters at this point.
But I mean, that was a that was a bath.
They gave Kansas City a bath. And by the way,
I don't know if you saw Travis Kelcey show, it
like like trying to start stuff with the defensive linemen
of the Eagles who weren't by They're putting their hands
behind their backs, not saying a word like it's almost
like it's like it's almost like somebody came in and
coach them. Here's what they're gonna do, here's what they're
gonna say, don't respond, just get through.
Speaker 2: It felt like Kansas City wasn't as prepared. And the
only thing I would say is Patrick Mahomes. I mean, look,
one of the things I enjoyed about Patrick Mahomes was
he didn't stop competing, even when in what we could
say was garbage time he threw a unbelievable ball the
worthy to get into the end zone. I mean that
was an unbelievably placed ball, so you know, and just
showed the two of them. I love the fact that
they never stopped competing. They just they were, you know,
their competitors. They were gonna try no matter what the
game was. Out of hand.
Speaker 3: By that, I mean, you don't go to all those
Super Bowls and playing seventh straight AFC championship having that competitive.
Speaker 2: Sure, that's the thing. And I had seen a clip,
Uh maybe Greg sent it to you as well. I'm
pretty sure this is where I saw it, Greg Connors,
and it was it was Tom Brady talking about how
prepared he was to go against Kansas City when he
and Kansas City met in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I heard this Greg didn't send this to me,
but I heard this, Yes, he told Colin Cowhard, Yes,
Friday night before the Super Bowl. Man, I'm watching film.
Saturday morning, I'm watching He said.
Speaker 2: I knew the Weeks.
Speaker 3: I knew their defense better than they knew their defense exactly.
Speaker 2: And I and he said, that was my superpower. I
wasn't the most athletic guy, he goes, but I knew
every time I could see it, So I right, it
was cerebral, right. And he said he was the smartest
guy on the field. He goes, guys like me, Peyton Manning,
and Drew Brees. Those are the names he said that
he goes, that was our thing. He goes, Was I
the fastest? No, none of them were.
Speaker 3: None of those three guys were the fastest. Manning may
have been the tallest. None of them were super athletic.
Speaker 2: He basically said, I had to have an Internet speed
in my head. Yes, that's how quick. And then you
when you watch that game, I don't even know how
the refs can actually catch a penalty because it moves
so quickly.
Speaker 3: That That was the thing with Belichick coach teams is
that it had to be like the military, like in
the military. You can't think you have to just react.
They train you for every possible scenario and it's automatic.
It's a reaction. And that's what he did, and that's
what Belichick's teams did. It was like, you have to
be ready for every possible scenario.
Speaker 2: Mahomes, I would think, is of that ilk, I would think,
But they didn't seem to know what the hell was
coming out of defensive.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes said something interesting after the game, and I'm
going to get to this a little later with like
the legacy part, but he said, if we lose Andy
were screwed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. In other words, yeah, the coach.
Speaker 3: The champion on the team. We've always talked about there's
always one champion and whoever that champion. Like with the Eagles,
that champion is Howie Roseman. He put the team together.
It's not the head coach, Siriani, it's it's the general
manager in Kansas City, it's Andy Reid. If you take
Andy Reid out of the equation, now Mahomes has to
figure it out on his own or with somebody else.
That's gonna be hard to do. Andy Reid is that guy.
But Andy Reid, even over the years you can ask
guys like by Catalana, who are Eagles fans over there.
He's not fool proof, No coaches, no Belichick is at foolproof.
But Andy Reid was. Andy Reid would put it like,
basically sets the table. All Mahomes has to do is execute.
Tom Brady was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.
Whether Charlie Weis was calling the plays, or whether Josh
McDaniels was calling the plays, or Bill O'Brien was calling
the plays, or when he got when he got to
Tampa Bay, when it was Bruce Arians or whomever. Tom
Brady was the guy. He subscribed to that theory that
John Gruden does. The quarterback is the offensive coordinator. He
makes the decisions. And Patrick Mahomes like a hell of
an athlete and a great thrower. He's a heck of
a quarterback. But when it comes to the cerebral part,
he may be missing something because he didn't see anything
coming in this game. Nothing And by.
Speaker 2: The way, five times, yes, I think six.
Speaker 3: The defensive coordinator for that game was Vic Fangio, was like, yeah,
watch out for Fanjo. Mahomes was eight to no against
Fangio before that game eight no eight. No, it's not
just the scheme, it's the players. When he when Fangio
was in Denver, Mahomes would beat him routinely in Miami
last year in the playoffs, Fanjo was the defensive coordinator
in that ice cold game where two was like frozen.
Remember he looked at frozen fish. You know, they actually
played a decent game the Miami defense. He just didn't
have the players. Now he's got the players, and when
he's got the players, look out for the scheme. Okay,
and Mahomes had no answer. They had no second gear.
He had no second of Colin Kawer call it a
second pitch. He had no second act. The Bills even
developed a second act later on against the Chiefs in
that championship game. They needed a third one. They didn't
have it. Mahomes didn't have a second act in that game.
That's where the cerebral park comes. You can't just go
to your boy Kelsey, go just get open, I'll throw
it to you. You got to be able to out
think it Mahomes. I'm not saying Mahomes is dumb. He's
You can't be a dumb quarterback and go to seven
straight AFC Championship games and play in multiple five Super Bowls.
He's a sharp dude, but he's got to take his
game to that cerebral level because eventually he's not gonna
be able to throw those behind the back passes and
go sway pass. Now you have to like outthink your opponents.
Peyton Manning in his last game, in his last Super Bowl,
his arm was shot. Think about this. There was actually
a discussion going into that Super Bowl whether Manning or
Rock Osweiler should start the game because Manning's arm was
so shot. So what did Manning do? He relied on
his years of knowledge. Osweiler like played his way out
of the league, whereas Manning like won a Super Bowl.
Why because he goes, I don't have the arm anymore.
So I got to outsmart Sean mcderbot's defense, right.
Speaker 2: Right, right, So give me the day. I see what
do we have here? How many are there?
Speaker 3: Five points? All right, I've already six points. I addressed
one of them. Actually a couple of the bills being
better We'll never know, So it's not even worth discussing.
Like radio guys spent hours, you know, with the Bills.
It doesn't matter. They weren't there. Shut up, Move on,
all right, Number two. There's a lot of chatter, and
it's getting louder, But I don't think it's getting louder
at one Bill's drive that the Bills need to acquire
Miles Garrett. Look what the Eagles did with their defense. Well,
here's what the Eagles did. They traded Carson Wentz. And
everybody said they couldn't trade it because he was such
a cap casualty, and they traded him to Indianapolis because
they had a buyer. That buyer was Frank Reich. Frank
Reich and coach Wentz in Philadelphia, I could work with him.
So they gave up a lot. That a lot turned
into all those defensive players that ended up going and
winning this game. The Bills would have to do the opposite.
They'd have to give up two or three first rounders,
maybe a second rounder, and so, in other words, their
future first round picks basically admit that they can't draft players,
because that's what they're admitting by doing this, and then
give their future first rounders to the Browns, a team
within their conference, for a guy who's thirty years old
who may make a difference.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe maybe maybe yeah.
Speaker 3: So, and then then that's and then you have to
turn around your entire defense of philosophy, which is ben
but don't break now. You gotta remember, they took the
ball away more than any team in the NFL last
year or this past year. That's going to drift back
to the median And they also forced fewer punts on
the opposite end than you know, the sea. In other words,
if you were going up against the Bills defense, odds
are you were scoring touchdowns, kicking field goals, are turning
the ball over, you weren't punting that often, you'd have
to have a shift in your defensive philosophy. It's a
pipe dream to acquire Miles Garrett. If they don't do it,
it's not the worst thing in the world. I wouldn't
sweat it, but I wouldn't spend this much time on it.
I like, hey, what about Max Crosby again. But that's
at least me to my third points. The third point
we have we have made football way too big in
this country. Yes, because we have nothing.
Speaker 2: There's no other sports.
Speaker 5: Now everybody has the NFL is secretariat, and then college
football is like seventeen eighteen lengths behind in second place,
and then baseball and then the NBA College basketball.
Speaker 2: I think college bat. I think everybody's looking for the March.
March madness is the next big thing.
Speaker 3: But they're not invested.
Speaker 2: Well, they don't care. They not as invested because you
don't have the kids with the school right now. You
have Duke, which you know.
Speaker 3: We'll always have Duke.
Speaker 2: Well, but they have they have like this phenomenal player
forgetting the kids. Yeah, flag I think is uh, they
did get beat ones, but who knows what they could
do now. This kid's going to probably play for one year.
I think he's seventeen, but all the white guys are
going to love white and then he's eight. At eighteen,
he'll be in the NBA. Yeah, he'll be in the
NBA and probably do well. He seems to be an
unbelievable athlete. But you're right, the NFL has taken over
everything and they're trying to go more global. We had
games in Brazil, well, the game in Ireland, and maybe
the Bills and Steelers in Ireland.
Speaker 3: Possibly yeah, yeah, because the Rooney's and the connection there,
I mean that that could happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's your next point?
Speaker 3: Well, Mahomes' legacy.
Speaker 2: Okay, give me this because I'm interested.
Speaker 3: Patrick mahomes legacy take a ding yesterday. No it didn't.
Let me tell you why if he retired today. In
three years it was like, you know, mentioned Patrick Mahomes,
he kept playing, how many same championships he would have won?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: And every quarterback who wins since let's say he retired today. Man,
he's lucky. Patrick Mahomes is out of the league. See
yesterday he sucked. Tomorrow he's the greatest. Again, you don't
go to seven straight AFC championships and all of a sudden, well,
he's got to dig on his legacy because they want
three to three out of five Super Bowls and then
those two super Bowls. He got his ass kicked. Okay,
Joe Montana got his ass kicked in conference playoff games,
many of them we don't hear about them because they
weren't in the super Bowl. So Mahomes loses in the
super Bowl. Now, his legacy took a ding. Not to mention,
he's got plenty of time to catch Tom Brady. That's
the dumbest thing that came out of yesterday's discussion.
Speaker 2: It's unfortunate, I guess from a historical perspective, and I
think is a chiefs fan of those who are he
wanted to see the three peat never been done, right.
Speaker 3: I mean that, I mean as far as historic historic
or history is concerned.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And I kind of love that they got
blown out.
Speaker 3: I did too, I was. I was there for all
of it. Like I'm watching this entire game and tell
my wife, oh, I'm not. I'm not turning this off
until the final cud. I uh like if the Philly,
if if Philly had scored in triple digits, I still
would have continue to watch.
Speaker 2: The thing is, I wasn't so much for me that
you were beating Kansas City. It was just the fact
that I hadn't seen Kansas City get handled like that.
You know, you just didn't see it. I mean Patrick
Mahomes was under duress. He was basically running and scrabbling
for his life. They had him off his feet feet
he was sacked six times. It was bad.
Speaker 3: But I mean, like you, like, when was the last
time Kansas City. Was the last time Kansas City ever
played a game that poorly?
Speaker 2: Was? I can't remember it was?
Speaker 3: It was? It was the Buck Super Bowl against Brady.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was where Brady said, we knew, I
knew what was coming from their side, and uh then
we you know the defensively the Tampa Bay wasn't bad.
Speaker 3: Right, good players. Now here's the other thing we mentioned.
How he Roseman, the general manager of the Eagles, who
built this thing. Okay, they almost lost him. He was
the general manager when they hired Chip Kelly. Than chip
Kelly wanted total control. So Jeffrey Lori goes, I'll split
the difference. Let's kim what he wants. You stay in
the organization. You don't move. I'll pay you what you're
making now, but you don't leave. If he screws up,
I'll give you the keys back to the castle, and
you could build this team in your image.
Speaker 2: I want to.
Speaker 3: Interfere Kelly sucked well, he did okay for a while,
and then he ran out of gas. Brig howyd Rosman
back back in. He wins two Super Bowls. He beats
the Patriots, the previous dynasty, and then he beats the
current dynasty in the Chiefs. On the flip side, Brett
Veach is all of a sudden getting criticism for not
building a good Kansas City Chiefs team. Oh, he's a
great general manager. But I'm like, okay, was that your
opinion at six o'clock or was that your opinion at
ten o'clock?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: And by the way, if he sucks, and this came
out of Buffalo, if he sucks as a general manager,
he's not as good. He didn't build as good a team.
What does it say about you, your general manager? So
watch what you say because that's an indictment of Brandon
Bean as much as it is about Brett Veach.
Speaker 2: Fair.
Speaker 3: But these guys in Buffalo, they don't listen to the
boy's coming out of their mouth because I know every
word that comes out of my mouth. You don't, Yes,
I do, Billy. I speak truth here.
Speaker 2: Okay, give me the last point.
Speaker 3: Did I get all? We got the Fangio, we got
the Beeach, we got the Mahomes legacy, and I got
it all. Okay, I got it all, Billy.
Speaker 2: I'll ask you this.
Speaker 3: We have a football problem in this country. We do,
because that's like, what.
Speaker 2: Do we do? What do we do?
Speaker 3: But I remember the days you and I remember the
days of the nineties where when Duke was number one
in basketball before the season started, Christian Laterer was getting
on the cover of Sports Illustrated in November, which, by
the way, is the heart of football season. That's how
big college basketball used to be. And then Jordan would
get into in December. That's how big the NBA used
to be, and then the World Series would get on
the cover. Now it's just football, well s, I is
really irrelevant. The point is now it's all NFL, NFL, NFL. Hey,
how about the draft coming up? I mean, are you serious?
It's freaking funny. I mean, this is this is what
we I mean, that's dangerous. We gotta have something else
to like.
Speaker 2: Yes, and something will dependsulum always sweet.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love baseball, but man like today was
the first day of pictures and catchers from the Yankees.
I'm like, I'm not interested.
Speaker 2: So, Danny, I do have to ask you about the
halftime show.
Speaker 3: I didn't understand it, Okay, I didn't understand a single word.
I heard something about Drake getting owned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: What that's all about. Sure, I saw Samuel Jackson. It
what's yo Wallett? Yeah, you know, I was waiting for
him like one of those catchphrases.
Speaker 2: From It was a lot of symbolism in there, and
some definitely some shots at Drake.
Speaker 3: Drake, and the story was that, like I didn't realize
that he was accusing him of being a toucher.
Speaker 2: He's saying that he's a pedophile, he had sex with
it might be tyed Epstein Island and all this stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, So he has a song, Kendrick Lamar has a
song that won the most Grammys for any song in
the history of the Grammys. And it just did it
two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I think it's called not Like Us, and it's really
aimed at Drake, and in there it does say pedophile.
Oh wow, so Drake is suing. Okay, so during.
Speaker 3: That is defamation character, but it's not true. So I
hope it's not true.
Speaker 2: So then you've got Samuel L. Jackson who's in there,
and he even says at one point, don't do it
because you know you're gonna get sued again. You know,
all this stuff. But it was very it was a
very symbolic thing. And I thought Laura, who was on yesterday,
she said I liked it a lot. She goes, I
just don't know that it was a halftime show, she
goes because it wasn't so much entertaining as it was
really if you look at it. I have to say,
the more I've thought about it, the more impressed I
am by Kendrick Lamar to take that opportunity. And it
was a protest, but it was a protest in the
sense of what we I think. We think it was
more about who's at the top of entertainment and what
are they lay letting in the gatekeepers of entertainment, right,
the gatekeepers of entertainment, And I think there's a lot
of things that went on. He had. It was, you know,
all black people, right, dancers and all, and at one
point they formed the American flag. And the thing that
I was taken from this is I looked at because
I too did not understand some of the lyrics when
he slowed down, and I had said even yesterday, I
have One of my favorite albums is his To Pimp
a Butterfly. It's a poetic album. It can get kind
of funny, little dirty, little everything, but it gave you
a look at a life I'm not familiar with. He's
a poetic guy. He may be a genius. I don't
know much about Kendrick Lamar, and I feel like that's
an overused term for people. But what he did was
really interesting in that setting. And I took it as
in the end and some of this was after digesting
it and then reading some things that this was really
I felt like a shot at the top of entertainment
to say. And I thought this for years. Man, I go,
some of the biggest influences on pop culture style speak,
our language, you know, bruh, All this stuff that kids
say came from black society, African Americans, black people, you know. Okay,
so all always and you can go back through. The
Rolling Stones are a band that played songs by Muddy
Waters who Muddy Water's got nothing, you know, I mean
eventually he did, but he can get what the Stones got.
No do did understand what I'm saying, Like they took it.
I got it, but they took it and maybe they
were more palpable, and even they were considered edgy but
to the masses, and that was sort of the stuff
because if you go and I haven't, or and I
know people go back and watch games over. If you
went back and watched the halftime show again, I think
Samuel L. Jackson goes, they're gonna tell you you're too ghetto.
You need to bring it more mainstream, you know, because
and that was his point was what happens in the
ghetto is what becomes popular style. And that's almost like
that the way I was taking it. Maybe I'm wrong again,
this is opinion. You can tell me I'm high as
a kite or stupid or whatever. But it almost as
though the ghetto is the is the the training ground.
Do you understand what I'm saying, like the test ground?
Like is this gonna work? And then somebody rises out
of that or somebody hears it and goes, damn, that's good.
We need to use that. Yeah, and we steal it.
And there's something.
Speaker 3: About all the phrases of the last ten years that
you'd never heard before. What the phrase you're out of pocket?
What I might have looked that up, Phrases like in
like a look.
Speaker 4: I once used out of pocket on purposely because I
was so pissed it.
Speaker 2: Figure you'd be out of pocket day?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like was it mean?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: But yeah?
Speaker 2: But how about the cool shit that we have in
pop culture? A lot of it. I'm not going to
say all of it, but a lot of it, because
I'm sure someone will go, well, that's this didn't I
don't know, but a lot of it came from black society,
black culture, biggest effluence, style, fashion, lyrics, music genres, jazz, blues, rap,
all of it, right, Okay, So his point with this
was Drake is also a shill for the people. He
the gatekeepers are only letting certain entertainment through. They just
want to appease you and be happy. I want to
make you think and I want to make you see it.
And I said yesterday, and I don't know if people
agree with this or not, but before I get to that,
I want to address the stephen A. Smith. I don't
know if you saw with steven A. Smith.
Speaker 3: No, I just saw that he liked it. But stephen A,
I mean I just saw this.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I don't know he could have
liked it. But at one point, as I'm watching with
my son, I go, is that no?
Speaker 3: Serena Williams yeah.
Speaker 2: And it went so quick he goes no, and then
he goes, yeah, she's crip walking. She did a crip walk.
It's a dance. Okay. Now, stephen A said on television
that he would consider divorcing if I'm married and my
wife is going to join trolling her ex. I don't
know that it's ever been confirmed, but there's a rumor
that in the two thousands or twenty tens, Serena Williams
and Drake dated. There was a lot of dissing of Drake. Right,
the song is really aimed at Drake. That's one more Grammys.
They made a Sony controller for a game. Sony if
you look through owns Drake's music or that's his label
or something. There's some connection. So there were there were
a lot of these things. I think there was another
thing that someone was telling me about that we go
The fact that he wore basically a Canadian tuxedo denim
on Denham was a shot at Jake Drake. Drake being Canadian, right,
he's from Toronto. Whether or not that's true, I don't know.
We could go super deep on things. Maybe it was true,
maybe it wasn't. Here's what I do know about Serena Williams.
Serena Williams in twenty twelve when she won Wimbledon, did
the crip walk and got in trouble okay, which is
all part of Lamar's point, She's from Compton. The crip
walk was developed in Compton. She did something that was
distinctly black culture in a very white event and got
shut down. And I think that's why he wanted her
there to do the crip walk to the song. And
I'm sure the either rumored or real tie to Drake
by her is probably adds fuel to the fire. I'm
not going to deny that, but I think it was
more about the crip walk and the control she won.
She did a crip walk. Who gets they were offended.
It became a big deal. And his point is, but
it's all from black culture. You'll shut it down here,
but now over here it's okay. You can't control things
like that, and that was sort of his thing. And
I said yesterday I feel like, in a way, although
I'm sure many people wouldn't agree with me, could you
make a comparison between Drake Excuse me, Kendrick Lamar this
performance saying our entertainment is controlled by people, and they're
shutting down certain things or stealing certain things and sort
of controlling it. It's the same as what President Trump
is coming and going. I'm getting rid of the corruption
I'm getting that's basically what he said. I'm going to
go in and drain the swamp. And we see all
kinds of things in the news now right of money
that they're seeing that they feel like was misappropriated, and
the millions of dollars and all that. Maybe he's gonna happen.
You us aid, do you understand and saying okay, all
that stuff. Could this be a similar thing where he's
going entertainment? Bullshit, Man, you can't control it like this.
You can't let certain things in or steal certain things
from us. Yeah, I think that was what I think
that like.
Speaker 3: And again, like I I barely paid attention to it.
I mean, I watched, I was into my phone when
this was Because it's not my style, I couldn't understand it.
But like I didn't like poo poo or anything. I
really didn't.
Speaker 2: I love what you just said.
Speaker 3: I had no opinion on it.
Speaker 2: It's not my style. I'm not going to form an
opinion yet. I have no opinion on it. I like,
I like one album of his. I'm not super familiar
with the guy. I don't even really know the song
that wont all these Grammys this year. I really don't,
so I would be a liar to say that, But
I was, I go, what's this guy doing? This is
a protest? I go, this is a protest, but it's
not a protest against American it's not a protest against
white people.
Speaker 3: It's a protest again bureaucracy control. Since you explained it
like that, that's how I saw that really kind of
reminds me that, let's put it this way. Since Shannon
Sharpe has done a podcast, club say, and he's brilliant.
I don't always agree with what he says.
Speaker 2: But man, and again, sometimes hard, I'm sorry, sometimes hard
to understand. When he gets himself worked up, his tongue
gets to slow him down. Wait, what do you say?
He's got some kind of speech impediment on top of
which is again I'm not picking.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, we don't understand.
Speaker 2: I'm just simply saying, sometimes he's hard to understand.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, though he started interviewing these marginalized
characters or people from Hollywood, like Cat Williams, like Monique.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cat Williams one I heard, I did not listen.
My son, the.
Speaker 3: Cat Williams one kind of like smashed the glass on
what's really going on in pulp pop culture. In other words,
it doesn't matter how talented you are. At some point,
if you want to be letting the club, you got
to do something. You got to sell out. And he says,
Kevin Hart is a guy who we've seen. When was
the last time you really watch Kevin Hart? Thought, Man,
he's really really funny sold out, not really like when
you and I work together and Tommy, we'd have comics
commit and what do comics do? They all talk about
other comics, right, and I all have like that. I'd
never heard the words Kevin and heart come out of
anybody's mouth all of a sudden in twenty nineteen, this
guy's everywhere. And the point is that, well, why is
he everywhere? Why is Lady Gaga everywhere? Why is this
person in this person in this person? But we're not
hearing about Kat Williams, We're not hearing about all these
other people because somehow they did something to get into
the club.
Speaker 2: Well, right, no, I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: And I think that's where Kendrick Lamar may be coming from.
Speaker 2: That is exactly it. You are so right, And what
I would say is, I'm not even sure that some
of these people knew they were playing the game, but
they did soften their act or they weren't as forgive me,
but the term would be as black or as ghetto, right,
which is some of the stuff that influences the very
things that most of us love. If it start, something's
happening right now in an urban center, urban's something that
we're not going to see for another couple of years.
But now, like all the speak and the saggy pat
all came out of prison, these things all eventually got
into the popular culture, but they all started on the
backs of black people, and that was sort of what
I think this was about. And I think what you
just said is right, because kat Williams would be termed
edgy black edgy, yes, so we gotta be careful with
that in America, you know, understand. And I'm not disagreeing
where Kevin may have softened himself a little bit, going
hey man, if you just all could be he's an agent,
just going Kevin, drop some of the language and do this,
and they're gonna put you in this movie. Well, how
could you not? And by the way, fame.
Speaker 3: It might even be beyond that. But I know what
you mean, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Fame is also addicting. So I'm not blaming Kevin Hart.
I can't say Kevin Hart necessarily sold out or didn't.
But I see that Kat was a little more true
to who Kat was. Kat wasn't willing to change and
who he was and Kevin was, you know, and I think,
but there's nothing wrong with that. It's just to his point.
One is well known in certain culture, and Kevin Hard
has known more than everyga.
Speaker 3: I want you to think about this, Okay, So ever
since Oprah became Oprah, we've always been looking not we,
but America talk show audiences. They're looking for the next Oprah, right,
So who was the next Oprah? Well, they tried to
make it Rosie O'Donnell, right, and then that blew up.
So then who they replaced her with? Ellen DeGeneres right,
Nolan running for twenty something years. She did, and then
now they're now it's trying to be Drew Barrymore or
Kelly Clarkson.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: But there's a little price you have to pay now
Ellen DeGeneres's set, I did. I didn't know. This is
a montage to Epstein Island, Oh dude, dude, doo doo
doo doo doo dud dude, look it up, look it up.
Look it up. Look it up. Look it up. Look
it up, Look it up, Look it up. My point
is is that why would anybody give Ellen a talk show? Well,
why would anybody give Kelly Clarkson a talk show? Why
would anybody? My point is that at some point you
gotta play bar their rules if you want to get ahead.
That's my point. All right, all right, now it's gonna
sound conspiratorial. You see the.
Speaker 2: Pictures, dandy, dandy, I would be. I'm highly suspicious. I
have not looked at this at all about the Epstein
Island homage on the set of Allen. Allen is a
very funny stand up. She was very very funny stand up.
She came out as gay right standing in her truth,
as people said the nineties, yes, and shut down, lost
the sitcom and everything, and told everybody it was okay
to come out, comes out, and then gone comes back,
gets this show and did really well, really really well.
Whatever went on, I have no idea. I've heard a
lot of speculation. Know some people who were connected to
that show. I've heard stories of her being a little
tougher behind the scenes. But there's a lot of pressure.
There's a tremendous amount of pressure when you're doing a
daily talk show, whether it be late night or that.
There just is so should that ship run downhill? No,
and it didn't with guys like Jay lenn would seem
not to. But that that's all I can tell you.
I don't know much more than that. Kelly Clarkson, I
don't know that these people.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that. I'm saying that there's a possibility
that when you.
Speaker 2: Play the game.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, that's that's my point. I mean, when you
think of Kelly clark.
Speaker 2: About radio, did we not in a way I have
to dance a little bit?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, I refuse to do it.
Speaker 2: But I mean I fought back on things you did.
Speaker 3: You could, Yes, you had the cashet.
Speaker 2: I didn't, But I don't whether or no.
Speaker 3: The point is, though, is that, yeah, there's certain things
that you have to.
Speaker 2: Play along with you do okay, But there were times
they would come in radio and go, you've got to
have this client on and you've got to give them
twenty minutes to talk about.
Speaker 3: They used to bring the Sabers president on to talk
with us for like an hour, and our audience couldn't
give a flying you know what about Ted Black, right,
but we had to do it.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we made him and.
Speaker 3: We tried we try making it entertaining, right.
Speaker 2: But my point is that's doing a little bit of
the dance.
Speaker 3: You do it, yeah, but like these guys are like, yeah,
sign me up for this dance. That's my point.
Speaker 2: That money in front of me, and I might sign
up for that dance too, dude.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of tip.
Speaker 2: Patient.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying we're not weak enough to do it.
Speaker 2: And even my grandmother who would always go I know
she's one of those, but I really I find her
just so funny that Allen to qualify it. Yeah, my
grandmother had to qualify everything. You had to qualify everything,
all right.
Speaker 3: Well, No, I like this discussion because I think there's
a lot of this. I think. I think I think
pop culture is dictated.
Speaker 2: By well, I think we're starting a bureaucracy. It really is.
I'm well, here's the example.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I don't want to keep going on and
labored the point. But Beyonce won all these Grammys. She
went Grammy for Best Country Album, And the story was
that the Grammy Awards are all all the votes are
pretty much like you vote for my people, I'll vote
for yours. It's all bought, it's all paid for it
everything else. But at the end of the end, then
she got all shocked that she won the award like
she and believe it. But the reality is it's all rigged.
You talking about the Kansas City Chiefs and the refs,
that's nothing compared to what goes on in Hollywood. The
thing is those why do we care? They care, That's
why they care. It's all part of it. It's all
part of one big bureaucracy. Someone is holding the puppet strings.
Speaker 2: Okay, but but here was my thing that I was
starting to say. I wonder America spoke with their votes.
I wonder if things are changing. People don't want to
be controlled. They don't want the boogeyman in the sky
telling them what to do. They don't want the big
brother type. And I'm using just examples that maybe this
is what it is. But we want to know what's happening,
We want the exactly. The word transparency is used a lot,
and I think that's it, and I think it's not
just with our politics. I think it's with our entertainment.
I think it's with our education. I think it's everything
I think they want. I think people, we as a society,
want more transparency, and I think that's much what this
last election was about. Oh yeah, I really do. I
feel like that that was the thing. Whether you agree disagree,
whether you're voted for President Trump or not, my point
is at this point, he is the leader, and let's
just see what happens. Let's just all I've said is this.
And I know that people will probably cringe me for
saying this. Uh, it seems like there's a certain percentage
of less crazy with Trump this time. I haven't seen
him calling people names necessarily, although after the super Bowl
he did go Trump so make me I'm wrong. He
just went on about, you know, Taylor Swift, one of
the worst startists did the world I got there. There
were so many He's gonna do that yet. But there
hasn't been the name calling as much. There hasn't been.
Speaker 3: I called Joe Biden, you were at the super Bowl.
I was in a super Bowl. Yeah I was. I
had a tremendous too, tremendous Barkley's father was the box.
I'm a fighter too. I fight for the American people.
Speaker 2: We'll take a moment something that if your health plan

six ' two comp. Connors and Ferris your worker's comp attorneys. Well, Danny,
if you had a job offer and two job offers
company A company, B company X y Z, company ABC,
I don't and it came down to who had the
better package. Would this be intriguing to you in a
surprising workplace trend, my friend? New research from zip health
suggests that taking time off for intimacy dubbed sex days
could enhance employee product productivity, mental health, and overall job satisfaction.
They did this survey of eight hundred employees and two
hundred managers and found that fifty percent of those who
took a dedicated sex day reported a noticeable boost in
work performance. Advocates argue that embracing sexual wellness in the
workplace could reduce stress, burnt out, and absenteeism. I will say,
ye have to show proof. Well, right here, there's a
lot of things at this. Younger employees, especially those in tech, healthcare,
and finance, are leading the charge, with some willing to
sacrifice traditional perks like free meals, paid time off, or
remote work in exchange for company sanctioned sex days. Notably,
twenty percent of employees would even consider switching jobs. That's
my point if another employer offered this benefit. Meanwhile, the
lack of such policies has led some to sneak in
workplace rendezvous, with fourteen percent admitting to having sex while
on the clock or on the job. Currently, only three
percent of companies offer sex days, but fifteen percent of
employers are open to the idea. As workplace wellness programs evolved,
could sex days become a mainstream benefit. Here's my question.
Should companies embrace sex days? Isn't isn't that a personal day?
Aren't you allowed like a personal day? Here's here's my.
Speaker 3: An addition to vacation time, yeah yees time. I mean yeah,
So I took a sex day and decided to godlago gambled,
I went golfing sex day.
Speaker 2: No, I was planning to have I was planning. I
was planning my sex day, but my wife and I
got into a heated argument and I just spent the
day of the lago. That would be that. That's how
that goes. But should I I as part of their
wellness initiatives? Should companies do this? Or is this a
step too far? Here's the thing that I would say.
If I have to check off on my why I'm
taking the day, or you don't have to submit and
it has to be approved if you work for a company,
they got to approve it. So unless you're really sick,
you need can call them that morning. But if you're
looking for like a personal day, you got to have
it approved so people know it's on the calendar. You
thin get people to cover for you all this ship.
If you had to put in for a sex day
and then I mean if I found out and that
we work together and you took a sex day, man,
I am finding dollars. I'm putting them in different positions, going, hey,
you do this, age, you try this, Hey, why did
you take a whole day when it only took three seconds.
Speaker 3: You and Tommy would have had a field segment.
Speaker 2: Yes, But the point is, like I I think that
personal days cover I think this is all a great idea.
I'm not denying it at all. They the benefits of
sex on your mental health and your overall health. I
have been known for years. Yeah, they've talked about it.
Speaker 3: Couples talk more when they're having a relationship.
Speaker 2: Yes, they do. Yes, right in the sec trying to
strip down and get naked and have an argument, Yeah,
you usually you soften.
Speaker 3: Is this about the tops? How I raise the dishes? Boom?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know what I'm saying, Like you can you
there's something a little more humbling about it. You feel
like you always ringing the dishes, more vulnerable. But I don't.
I don't I go a sex day. If you have
to check the box for sex day and everybody knows
what the day is about, you know I'd be going, oh, buddy,
did you see uh hot Heather took the day off?
You know that's all it happened.
Speaker 3: Hey, how was your day? How was your three day?
Three way?
Speaker 2: You can't do it?
Speaker 3: Have somebody CoA cited, Yes, I had sex with my
Another thing.
Speaker 2: We're living in a time where you can't even do
that right. You could call her or you call her
hot Heather you're in trouble, or.
Speaker 3: To say, I mean, does HR have the right to
investigate your sex life?
Speaker 2: Well exactly, That's why I'm saying I don't.
Speaker 3: You don't you like when we worked at utter cut
Laurie Hoover. Okay, So if you check this box right here,
if you have the sex chank okay, and I have
to have to approve it.
Speaker 2: Well, god, I would have.
Speaker 3: Bill Moran, I heard you were having sex last night.
Speaker 2: Sex. You heard it all the way over where you live.
Huh man, I really gotta know that. But I mean,
I can't imagine most people as much as we say,
like we.
Speaker 3: People are cool.
Speaker 2: No they're not. No, they're not. They're uncomfortable. Most people
don't want that part of their lives discussed. They're uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: Should it be exactly so, it's a private thing.
Speaker 2: If you want to add personal days and let people
do what they want, yeah, I think taking a personal
day for any number of reasons, especially reconnecting which may
lead to sex with your significant other, that's a great thing.
Or if you're going to a hooker for the day,
I don't need to know. I don't need to know.
If you went for massage and then gotta you know,
they finished you off at the whatever, that's fine. Come back,
you're a little more productive, got a little, you know,
little pep.
Speaker 3: In your step, all right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The boss is like okay with who? Or you know,
like you called to check out somebody on their sex
day and the wife answers like, oh he had what
he checked on what? And then he comes home and.
Speaker 2: What if it's like a big fat.
Speaker 3: Employee, I'm picturing a few the weeks.
Speaker 2: Okay, me too, but like, could you pick I remember
finding out about somebody having sex This is years ago,
but I remember, uh I was. There were these twin
brothers and they they I guess they tag team done.
Somebody heard yes, and they came running into the studio,
one of them and goes, man, I gotta tell you,
and then started talking about how bad the smell was
and how they're waving their brother off. And I didn't
need to know that. I didn't need to know that.
But under you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: There's so many in.
Speaker 2: Under HR I think I could I had. I had
hostile work in tress, hostile work environment. I couldn't even
look at anybody around. I was like you people discuss me.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, or how about like you find out the
wife it's pregnant. Now Bill used his sex day productivity,
his wife is now expected. This is what I'm talking about.
This is why we put these days in place. There
are some companies that actually don't have a day's off policy.
In other words, as long as you do your job,
they don't care how many days you take off. And
a lot of companies in tech were finding out that
was becoming a problem because they weren't as productive. In
other companies in the same space were passing them by, Yes,
when they had these things called rules.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'll say I'll say this. I don't know.
I will say I'm going to speak for the broader
spectrum of human beings. I believe that the broader spectrum
of human beings, and there are those who are a
little more uh together, can't handle that. They need structure.
When you let things get loose, you start to get
you know, a little loose, right, and when you add
a little structure. I have always thought places like Google
or any of these tech places, right, and they.
Speaker 3: Have you know, daycare centers, try cleaning, uh perks and things.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 3: They don't want you to leave.
Speaker 2: Okay, they don't want you to leave. But how about
the places that have like beautiful cafeterias. And there were
people that were coming in on their days off just
to hang out because it was so great. But they
have like arcades, pool rooms, all this stuff. And I go,
I come from the old school world. I gotta yell
at a lot like at home, not a lot, but
they were there was a heavy hand. I too construction.
I work construction for mostly high school stuff. I was
mostly clean up. But Mike talking about swinging a hammer.
Although I did and I can, I would say like
that structure was good. But if I owned the place
and I walk by and you're playing pool, and I go, hey, fellas,
let's go on now, we're just taking a break. We're,
you know, kind of giving our a brain. All right, good,
good good. If I come by forty five minutes later
you're still playing pool, I'm gonna lose my shit. Do
you understand? And that's not right. That's not right. It's
not right.
Speaker 3: It's not I remember when you and I were together.
There were two program directors one morning who had a
strategy meeting they did in one of their offices and
they're playing Othello or Stratego or one of these games.
They're playing a board game in one of them's office. No,
it was something, and the boss walked. The Big Boss
walks by, Hey, what do you guys doing. We're strategizing.
They just got done smoking weed in the car. This
is like nine am. Because because the story got around,
the boss made sure everybody heard the story that two
program directors were playing a board game at nine o'clock
in the morning on a Tuesday in the office. One
of them did not because of that, but because it's
something he said, he admitted in a in a in
a in a meeting with the morning show, the other
boss asked him, he goes, when you listen to Kimberly
and Beck, what are your thoughts when I listened to
A A month later he was gone. This was actually
a month after they were playing this game in the
board room, so I mean or in the office, So
I mean, who.
Speaker 2: Were these people?
Speaker 3: If well, one of them has come on our podcast,
one of them has. Yeah, he didn't get fired. He
was our boss for a while.
Speaker 2: We dig a oh oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 3: The other guy bald earrings, Okay, he got fired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got back.
Speaker 3: What I think he is now, but he's not in
the same capacity. He was running a radio station. Now
he's just doing commercials. I'm not knocking to this is
what happened.
Speaker 2: These are facts. Okay, this is what happened.
Speaker 3: But it's like I could see how it looks silly
when you when you're doing something that you shouldn't be
doing on company time. At the same time, remember when
the Bills had Rex Ryan as their head coach and
they put in a pool table and it's gonna be
cool that's what happened. They sucked mcturbo ox and okay,
get her to the pool table. Get rid of this.
We're a football team, and all of a sudden production
went up. And also help that they drafted Josh Allen.
You became a good quarterback.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not, but I do think like human beings
need a little more more structure stuff. When you I
just think that I'm speaking most of my experience. You
can only speak, like from myself. You can only speak
from yourself. Anybody else can only speak from themselves. I
would say that for me, I need that. I was
in floundering for a while. I will tell you that
even you know, when we talked about my substitute ad structure, right,
my day is not. It actually has helped me here, right,
It's helped me here to see things.
Speaker 3: Because you know how to manufacture your time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's an important piece to living. Right,
You got to be able to to do stuff. But
I think taking a day to knock boots, call it
a personal day, don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't do that.
Speaker 2: I mean because when you know, fat, when or if.
Speaker 3: You could incentivize people to earn extra days, all.
Speaker 2: Right, But when fat Fran takes the day off every
time sex sex five no fat Fran, check the sex fox.
I mean she told everybody, I take it a day
baby me. I'm gonna get something in that and again
tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3: I need three of them. But how many of those
do you get? That's the other thing too. I mean,
there's a company's gonna look like Katrina.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a Tsuonamic coming.
Speaker 3: I think you need to allow you have to have structure,
but the same type creative structure. In other words, allow
your employees to be adults, but the same time give
them the freedom and so in other words, there's a
company I used to work for in between radio jobs.
There's a debt collection agency called Concert. They're in Fairport.
Speaker 2: Call I'm sorry, right, I'm sorry that I'm calling you.
I could use the sex day after dealing with you asked.
Speaker 3: They had great they had great perks though, great benefits, incredible,
but they let you create your own schedule if you
want to. So if you you had worked forty hours,
no matter what, but you could work from like eight
to seven three days a week, or eight to eight
twelve twelve twelve, and then a four and then you're done.
You know what I'm saying. You could do that if
you want to. They allowed you the creativity to do that.
Like a lot of people are saying, why don't we
just have four ten hour work days a week and
then three days on the weekend, whether you come in on,
whether it's you work Tuesday through through Friday, or you
work Monday through Thursday, and that will increase productivity as
long as you were able to put in the hours.
When you start cutting out that extra eight hours, now
you become like Europe. And Europe's behind America in everything.
Speaker 2: Well okay, yeah, but they're happier and healthier.
Speaker 3: Yeahs. But I would say this, I think it's called
Europe for help, but they call us.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, I called Europe for help
with fashion.
Speaker 3: Food. It's Ketrick Lamar jeans. They good for me.
Speaker 2: Seven jeans.
Speaker 3: I think everybody's wearing them.
Speaker 2: Here's I will. I will say this. I think you
have to know yourself. I think you have to know
what makes you tick. I know for me that I
probably not firmly diagnosed, but probably got some add right.
So yeah, so I like but I love being able
to work in this, and then work in this, and
work in this, and I can go, you know, teaching
in between. When I've got downtime, I can jump on
a computer and I can write a quick thing, and
I could put down a joke. And that's how my
life has always been. But I also like working. I
like that. I like to always be working. When I'm not,
I really like I suffer. And so I know me,
I like to work. And you know, the term twenty
four to seven is a ridiculous statement, but I work
a lot and I love it because it's my passion.
Speaker 3: So it doesn't feel like you're a net guy, no
extra time guy. Yeah, I guess, but I just it's
just I love it.
Speaker 2: Right, I'll leave here, I'll put this podcast together tonight
and it'll be uploaded. I do that. I'll cut up
some videos. I'll get up tomorrow more around between five
thirty and six and start all over. And and I
do really really like it. So you have to know yourself, right,
And if you're a person that would rather have in
the three day weekends and you know that time is
really important to you to be with your fans, great,
but know yourself, Yes, you gotta know yourself and what
may be yourself. It's hard. It's hard because you know
everything is a trade off. I've missed a lot of
things because I work so much, but I like it.
You know, did I need to work that much? Probably
not right, probably not looking back, But I loved it.
So what you know, no harm, no foul the way
I look at it. Yeah, you know, when I leave,
I guess everybody will have regrets. But I got.
Speaker 3: To feel I've asked myself. I got to like it.
If you could do it over again, would you I go,
I don't know. I don't know what I would do
if I could do it over. That's my whole point, though, because.
Speaker 2: A journey does it. Don't you want to learn? We
want the contrast. We want to mix it up fucking around.
You have that sex day, not sex day, have a
day to do whatever you go to.
Speaker 3: Listen, if you want me home on these days, you're
gonna have to fit fill the sex box so I
could turn it into hr all.
Speaker 2: Right for the day, we'll take them home with Danny. Yes,

Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a dumb thing, like it's burned down.
I wouldn't leave the package there because clearly I don't
know when they're coming back. So I don't know. Amazon
needs to come up with some policy. But if you're
the Amazon driver and you're timed, I believe on your
runs and all this stuff and how efficient are we
and blah blah, you don't get a low score like
I don't know what the fuck to do with this
this step.
Speaker 3: You take a picture of it delivered, and then they
get the text message, How was your service? How would
you rate your service?
Speaker 2: And yet I get Manny Moore's point because it seems heartless,
almost right in a way.
Speaker 3: Building.
Speaker 2: What are you supposed to do? What are you supposed
to do? I don't know, because you know what I'm saying,
unless you left a phoning address, and who knows? You
may have what you have ordered? Something like the fire.
Most of the fire burned down something two weeks ago. Yeah,
usually Amazon, I get it the next day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty What are we talking about? Perks of
being a prime member?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Maybe they're not prime members. Maybe
it took that long. Yeah, maybe they weren't anything something.
I have no idea.
Speaker 3: Let me just go That is funny though, made me
laugh because they.
Speaker 2: Do well what I mean, I don't mean to the
victims or what, Yes, exactly right. I got some kind
of degreaser d d asher. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, It'spa over Lake, Michigan.
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. That's a great idea. The New
York Jets j E ts AFC East rival of the
one Buffalo Bills. I need to go back. We'll just
do this quick little football thing. Are expected to part
ways with Aaron Rodgers. I did not realize that the
team went twelve and twenty two with Rogers. Now, I
don't forget. Most of the first season he didn't play,
but then he had a six and twelve record as
a starter there, so he won fifty percent of the games.
Speaker 3: He gets credit for beating the Bills.
Speaker 2: On field struggles deside. So. Rogers makes regular appearances on
the Pat McAfee show, and he's outspoken. Some of his
points have become contentious at times. Some within the organization
believe he contributed to the firing of head coach Robert Salah,
while his media presence an unconventional off seat and habits
like I washed it retreats only deep into the riff.
Now what go ahead?
Speaker 3: Laugh? I watched the New York Post headline tossed sella
that's not true.
Speaker 2: I love that's beautiful?
Speaker 3: Like, why does it something? Think of that? Yeah, toss
Sealah Rogers out.
Speaker 2: The Jets allegedly gave Rogers an ultimatum stay as QB,
but give up the.
Speaker 3: Media spotlight or move on, meaning no appearances on Pat McAfee. Yeah,
maybe that's true.
Speaker 2: Do you believe that I think his off field persona
hurt the Jets.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I kind of can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he had a mouthpiece. He was basically given
the Jets bad pr.
Speaker 2: More than his on field stuff.
Speaker 3: I mean, like you're Rogers, it's a package deal. It's everything.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: But I'll be honest with you, I don't know if
this came from Woody above, because Woody's like tight with
what Johnson? What is the Johnson and Johnson guy? Right,
that's where he made his money? Well, who had a vaccine?
Johnson and Johnson? What didn't Rogers take a vaccine? I'm
sure maybe that had something to do with it, But
the fact that Rogers would know, I'm not giving that up.
It's just Rogers just being stubborn. If that is the case,
I just think that's just it could be true. Diana
Roussini's reporting it.
Speaker 2: It probably is true.
Speaker 3: She's been pretty on with the Jets so far. But
I mean, I gotta tell you, like I think Aaron Glenn,
I think the main reason Rogers is out is because
do you remember when Shan Gaily was hired as the
Bills head coach. The first move he made is says
we're not keeping to He's got to go. He's not
gonna make our team in any better. We're in a
rebuild situation. I'm getting another shot at being an NFL
head coach. I can't have a guy who's bigger than
the team here. Aaron Glenn is a guy who doesn't
mess around yab and Detroit. He built that defense when
they had what how many guys on injured reserve this
year and still it managed to like, you know, get
them to like the divisional round of the playoffs. He's
a guy. He's coming in. This is his first head
coaching job. And by the way, when you're in an NFL,
when you're a defensive minded head coach, you don't get
two shots like most coaches armes off at. You get one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and that may change again in the NFL,
but usually that's true. Right.
Speaker 3: He's a no nonsense guy, and he's dealing with an
owner who's kind of a who's a mixed bag. Yeah,
he can't have any distractions. Aaron Rodgers is only gonna
go so far. You might as well just start over. Yeah, see, Aaron,
go get what you could get. I can't have you here.
And maybe like that was a way of getting Rogers
to gently say yeah, I'm on my way out or whatever.
But ultimately it's got to be up to the team.
I think it was up to Aaron Glenn. I think
what he wanted him out. This might be true, but
I think that part's irrelevant. Wherever Rogers goes, people are
gonna have to deal with Aaron Rodgers, the package, which
is going on McAfee, which is shooting his mouth off,
which is being the guy that he thought he was
ten years ago.
Speaker 2: I thought Aaron Rodgers and I thought the ayahuasca thing
was interesting. I like the docuseries that was done.
Speaker 3: Still haven't seen it. You have to watch it.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's terrible. I'd love to hear your
thoughts on it.
Speaker 3: I hope bed before I watch a documentary, I hope.
Speaker 2: There are one hundred an eighty degrees opposite of mine.
I really do, because I watched this and went, okay,
all right. But that being said, let's go to the
guy that won the MVP this year, an award that
Rogers had three times. I was stunned, Yeah, stunned then
he won it? Yeah, okay, or stunned then he won it.
Because usually like, oh, I got a whole take on
the MVP thing. We get to that some other time.
Speaker 3: But like, usually the guy who wins for a quarterback
first team ball Pro is the guy wh gets the
MVP Award. And it's felt like the writers like all
split the award five different ways.
Speaker 2: Right, well, okay they did. I think it was twenty
seven votes for Josh, twenty three. Yeah for Lamar.
Speaker 3: I wasn't even there at the award he was, so
it's like they kind of tipped off. Okay, here's the
guys who are gonna win an awarode.
Speaker 2: But Josh gave an unbelievable speech. Yes, I thought. I
thought that was so poised. He didn't get emotional, and
he had an emotional moment talking about his parents, both
who had tears streaming down their face. And you just
saw what I thought was a very genuine guy who
at the end said, you know, be good, do good God,
God bless bills. And that was it. And but it
was that's short. It was a great speech. And you go,
and that's my quarterback is something that we make fun of.
That's our that's our quarterback.
Speaker 3: That's my quarterback. Like I didn't even watch the awards ceremony,
and then the next day and the next day I'm
getting text from Peter at like five am. Josh One,
josh One, I'm like what you did because I'll mean
like because usually the pattern is not the case. And
so I was proud of him. I was happy for him.
But now he's a target. Now he's an MVP, So
now he's got to fall up. Yeah, but okay, fine, whatever,
we'll deal with that.
Speaker 2: Then if we're gonna compare what we just said about Rogers,
yes to Josh Allen, Yes, we got a good deal here. Yeah,
what a guy. What And by the way, expectation do
family support the love the balance? He's got a high
pod all American dude. Jackson says to me, my son Jackson,
who uh not always in the sports and stuff, goes, uh, yeah,
and he's married to an Avenger. Well, she's not an
Avenger yet, but I guess she plays a certain role
that maybe get into the Avengers or something. Jameson just
came in from basketball practice. Do you know what I'm
talking about? She's an actor in one of the movies. Yeah,
what's the matter. What happened? Got her practice? All right?
They're always when he went down on the court. Yeah,
that's what happened.
Speaker 3: Ye happens, all right, suck it up, buttercup, I was joking,
all right, now, Alan Allen's if you could, I mean,
this was the utmost sincerity. If you could build an
athlete in a lab, it would be Josh Allen. Yeah,
from his temperament to his athleticism, to the way he
deals with people, to the way he just carries himself.
And I and I mean, and here's the thing, here's
the You gotta be careful when you put athletes on
a pedestal because we've been let down collectively so many times.
People thought Tiger Woods was that guy. He was the
exact opposite. People thought Michael Jordan was that guy. He
was the exact opposite. There's so many people. But he
was a douchebag. Yeah really, I mean, dude like bad
at the end of the day, though, you hope that,
like like Rick Riley wants to wrote a column about Shack,
he goes, thank you Shack for never being a douchebag.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He was just a big, lovable.
Speaker 3: Guy, right, always doing the right thing. And I hope
that that. And it's very hard to walk that line,
and so far he's walked that he's the perfect quarterback
for Buffaloes, a team in a franchise in a city
that needs somebody like Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: I mean, you couldn't.
Speaker 3: Make it in the story about how what a long
shot he was to be who he is. It's just
you couldn't ask for a better story other than one
more thing, just won a super Bowl.
Speaker 2: But I mean that that's you know, yes, and I
think that's coming. Yeah, I think that.
Speaker 3: I think so too. I think so too. But man,
that was so cool and what he's And then this
grick guy from the mail room who's getting not or.
Speaker 2: He's getting I haven't seen. I gotta go look for
that stuff because I know he mentioned him. Yeah, but
I saw something because.
Speaker 3: Seven got a Buffalo like did a special one slick
Rick good and he was crying. And now now he's
become this like internet celebrity because he's slick Rick, all right,
you know, from the mail room, from the mail room.
But he seem like one of those guys that be
like a side character on a sitcom. Hey, slick Rick's
got your mail.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 3: That was so it was really cool and I'm happy
for Josh and I hope that I hope that this
can you know, continues. I mean, he's just he's so
deserving of it. And let's and even Lamar Jackson said,
and of course he would say this, that Alan deserved it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well he did. I think he did.
Speaker 3: I believe he did too.
Speaker 2: All Right, well, we'll close it on that note.
Speaker 6: Danny tomorrow already, Well, tomorrow will do some of the
three one five stuff we didn't get to in the
next episode, and we'll talk to the King of three
one five.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'll hope that he can come on.
Speaker 3: Well, he's got a big he's got a big weekend
coming up, and the babe is back. Have they ever
done a Hallbrck movie about Daytona?
Speaker 2: Not yet. I think we're about to write one for
Dann Marilla I, Bill Moran, We'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Dad.
Speaker 6: In about the United State, seems they were looking borrow
kind of night with Tennessee
