Speaker 6: Weer three already, it is here, we are here, we are.

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,799
Speaker 5: We were talking about the Cleveland Browns, a little bit

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,719
early mistake by the Lake, big mistake by the Lake.

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,400
With our question since they got back into the NFL,

31
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,519
remember they moved to Baltimore, but since they came back

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,280
as a franchise in nineteen ninety nine, Chris Palmer was

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200
the head coach for a couple of seasons. He was

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,680
in thirty two games, five and twenty seven. Then they

35
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,959
go and hire Butch Davis. In fifty nine games, he

36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,560
was twenty four and thirty five. Terry Robiski shout out

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,120
LSU In five games he was one four As the

38
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:11,439
interim coach, Romeo Cronell in sixty four games, he was

39
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:16,039
twenty four and forty. Eric Mangini in thirty two games,

40
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:19,479
he was ten and twenty two. Pat Shermer in thirty

41
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:23,400
two games, he was nine and twenty three. Rob Chudzinski

42
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:25,960
shout out to chud my guy. In sixteen games, he

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,919
was four and twelve. Though I don't remember this guy,

44
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,360
Mike's something I don't even trying to pronounce that last name.

45
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,879
Speaker 1: Thirty two games, he was ten and twenty two, so

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,479
it doesn't matter.

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,719
Speaker 5: Hugh Jackson forty games, Matthew In forty games as the

48
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:50,800
Browns head coach, Hugh Jackson was three thirty six and

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:56,000
one winning percentage of point zero eight eight, three thirty

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,680
six and one in forty games, three thirty six and one.

51
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: That ain't good. Ain't good at all.

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,439
Speaker 5: You had Greg Williams, he was the I believe interim

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,479
coach in eight games.

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,439
Speaker 1: Eight games, okay, okay? Greg?

55
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: Greg was five and three. Freddy Kitchens takes over. They

56
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,599
don't give the job to Greg Williams. Freddy Kitchens takes

57
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,360
over in sixteen games he was six and ten. Kevin

58
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,360
Stevanski in one hundred and one games, he was forty

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,719
five and fifty six.

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,759
Speaker 1: How is that possible?

61
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 7: I just looked on it. Then, they've had four winning

62
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:41,319
seasons since what do you say? Nineteen nine nine since

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,000
returning in nineteen ninety nine, four winning seasons two thousand

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,639
and two they were nine and seven, two thousand and seven,

65
00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:51,680
ten and six. Twenty twenty that was Baker Mayfield eleven

66
00:03:51,719 --> 00:03:54,919
and five and then twenty twenty three, eleven and six.

67
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the guy that I didn't, Mike Pettin.

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 6: Like, do you who is that I've heard of that

69
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:02,120
name of thing? Have you? Okay?

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,319
Speaker 1: Shout out to Mike Patin.

71
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,439
Speaker 5: He was ten and twenty two and never heard of

72
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,439
that fella that is?

73
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Are they the worst you've ever heard of a fella? Exactly?

74
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: Are they the worst franchise in professional sports?

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 7: I will I was talking to somebody. Maybe it was

76
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:22,639
all I was talking about this with, or a solid

77
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,480
debate on it, Like somebody said, maybe the Washington Wizards.

78
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: We're up there as well.

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, and their uniforms are ugly too.

80
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:34,079
Speaker 6: They don't even look good when they're doing it.

81
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:36,959
Speaker 1: In all.

82
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,879
Speaker 6: And that's why we call it everybody the mistake, by.

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,519
Speaker 5: The way, clean USA Sports. I want to find this out.

84
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:49,120
The Washington Wizards is bad, but like for some they

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,879
had some okay times when they were the Washington Bullets,

86
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:54,680
like way back in the day in the seventies. I

87
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,199
think they lost in the finals a couple of times.

88
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,000
All Right, So I've got the the most losing franchises

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,480
in every major sport in the United States.

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,519
Speaker 1: In the NFL, it's the Arizona Cardinals.

91
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 7: What since what it like probably should make it a

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,439
little bit more towards the modern area.

93
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I know, I'm scoing you all time.

94
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:18,959
Speaker 5: They are the oldest team in the NFL, founded in

95
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,720
eighteen ninety eight, the most total losses in NFL history,

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,040
one championship in nineteen forty seven, but zero Super Bowl titles.

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,399
Speaker 1: The Cardinals.

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,199
Speaker 5: Kadi's uncle played for them when they were the Saint

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Louis Cardinals, and they were bad then, they're bad now.

100
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,639
Speaker 1: They had some run with Kurt Warner.

101
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 5: The Minnesota Timberwolves are actually the worst all time winning

102
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:45,399
percentage in NBA history, only a handful of playoff series

103
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:53,079
wins ever, So Timberwolves. The Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball. Yeah,

104
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,319
that one kind of speaks for itself. Poor Paul Skiings

105
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,240
the Arizona Coyotes in the NHL. Is that's even still

106
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:05,720
a thing, So poor Arizona, Poor Phoenix. Yeah, bad sports,

107
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,439
I guess.

108
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's not like the Suns are good either.

109
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,879
Speaker 6: Well, Arizona gave it a couple of good quarterbacks, Hugh.

110
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Arizona's in.

111
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,639
Speaker 7: Like Arizona, So it's much better than Cleveland ever heard

112
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:25,360
of Jadan Daniels in the Phoenix. Yeah, I've heard what

113
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,959
Jadan Daniels. Yeah, what about him? It came from Arizona Sport.

114
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:30,519
He's from California.

115
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was playing sports in Arizona. Yeah. So

116
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:37,160
is LSU's current quarterback Sam Levitt.

117
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 6: Yep, so I said a couple quarterbacks.

118
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:42,079
Speaker 1: Give me another Arizona State quarterback.

119
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 7: Jake Plumber, Yes, Jack and the Snake when I used

120
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:48,560
to play. So this is back in my high school.

121
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: The only knowledge of any professional athletes you have that

122
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,879
is from nineteen ninety four to nineteen ninety eight.

123
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's about right. Yeah, that's about my I was

124
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,240
hitting my streke right. As a sports fan, we used

125
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,319
to play U NCAA game Breaker on PlayStation two. He

126
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,720
was PlayStation one one or two back in early high school.

127
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,120
And you could play with I'd play with the ninety

128
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,800
six Arizona State team.

129
00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:17,639
Speaker 6: You could play like the historical teams.

130
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 7: That was probably the greatest football game ever created, College

132
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,240
game Breaker.

133
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I remember it.

134
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: Did you ever play?

135
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

136
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,439
Speaker 7: And we used to have little tournaments at a buddy's house.

137
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,639
Speaker 5: Also, your college from ninety four to ninety eight is

138
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:36,480
because of video games.

139
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:36,879
Speaker 6: A lot of it.

140
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Kinger junior baseball.

141
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 7: Well, there's only one real baseball player in that one,

142
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,720
Ken Griff Junior.

143
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:43,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, but everybody knew.

144
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,759
Speaker 5: Everybody knew Jay Univergar was Edgar, Otis Nixon was Otis Nixon,

145
00:07:49,879 --> 00:07:53,959
Ronan was Ryan Gant, Julio Franco was jul They used.

146
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 7: Their name, image and likeness. There should be a term

147
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:08,680
for that, and it should never anywo brown Suck?

148
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Would you ever be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns?

149
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:13,839
Speaker 6: God?

150
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:15,279
Speaker 1: I hate this for our guy, Todd Monkin.

151
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:19,079
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure he's getting paid. Well yeah, okay,

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,720
for sure, But I just gave you the list since

153
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:26,319
they came back. I mean even before even the guy

154
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:28,279
that we considered the greatest coach of all time, Bill

155
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:30,639
Belichick in eighty games, he was thirty six and forty.

156
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,759
Speaker 7: Oh god, he is not the greatest coach of all time.

157
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:34,039
He can't even make it the Hall of Fame.

158
00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 5: The last coach they've had with a winning record that

159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,600
was the full time head coach is Marty Schottenheimer nineteen

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,519
eighty four to nineteen eighty eight and seventy one games.

161
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:47,399
Speaker 1: He was forty four and twenty seven.

162
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 6: Oh was he a two time NFL Coach of the Year? Marty?

163
00:08:52,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: Uh like Stefanski probably actually can't wait to see this

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,320
the fan Ski versus Baker Beef.

165
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 5: NFL Coach of the Year when he was with the

166
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,759
Chargers in two thousand and four. Actually think he got

167
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,600
he got fired in O six. So yeah, when he

168
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:11,720
was with the Chargers in O four, he got ap

169
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,480
NFL Coach of the Year, but he didn't do it

170
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,759
with the Browns. No, he did not AFC Coach of

171
00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:22,879
the Year with the Browns. Okay, all right, so there

172
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,399
you go, Mariy Schottenheimer. Last time the Browns had a

173
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,240
winning and coach in the eighties. That's awful, Like, how

174
00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:32,679
are you a fan of the Cleveland Browns? And look,

175
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:35,480
I know the Pelicans are a bad franchise.

176
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: I get that.

177
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,039
Speaker 5: And the NBA is popular, it's not the NFL. NFL's

178
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,399
by far the most popular sport. So you're gonna have

179
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,440
more fans for NFL teams.

180
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: When you send your payment in for season tickets to

181
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,879
the Browns and you know you're gonna suck. That's gotta

182
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:56,399
be a kick between the legs.

183
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,639
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for sure. And that's why I you know,

184
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,679
it make when they have any glimmer of hope, it

185
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,080
makes it fantastic for them. But usually that glimmer of

186
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,480
pope turns into darkness pretty quick.

187
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 6: So I don't know darkness.

188
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 7: It's just what do we compare it to a couple

189
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,159
of weeks ago, like losing organizations like the Browns. Is

190
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,600
like that one building in town that's had about thirteen

191
00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:22,519
different restaurants and none of them work.

192
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: It's just a building that.

193
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:29,159
Speaker 5: Has the bank and saying I've got the plan. I

194
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,200
got to be the loan because I'll be the fourteenth

195
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:33,840
in the last six.

196
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,039
Speaker 1: Months, but I'm gonna make it.

197
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 7: And it's different people, it's different owners, it's different genres

198
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,679
of food. It's different. It's different. Some of them are popular.

199
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,120
Some of them can be cowsters that works everywhere like that.

200
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Things can be a chain, it can be a startup,

201
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,240
whatever it is. And the only common denominator is the location,

202
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:57,759
the foundation, the framework, the walls, that's the floor. It's

203
00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:00,960
the only common denominator. Everything else this is different, but

204
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,639
nothing we all know it. Everybody's got that place in

205
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,639
there wherever they grew up or in the place that

206
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,639
they live. Everybody knows what I'm talking about. Doesn't matter

207
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,919
what you do, it's just not gonna work. And a

208
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,000
lot of sports franchises, for whatever reason, feel like that.

209
00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 6: The Browns, the Jets, the Raiders.

210
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,879
Speaker 7: It just feels that that's the feeling you get, no

211
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:27,120
matter what happens, no matter who they bring in, no

212
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:29,399
matter who's in charge, it just ain't gonna work. And

213
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,519
until you prove us wrong, we're just gonna keep saying

214
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:33,159
I told you so.

215
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 5: It's like the spot that Mellow Mushroom once was in

216
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:39,879
Baton Rouge.

217
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:41,639
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of things.

218
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:41,919
Speaker 6: Yep.

219
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 7: No, there's a place any different things. There's that place

220
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,559
on Perkins. It was at McAllister's at one point, oh

221
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,320
Man the park.

222
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that thing has been tacos.

223
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:57,759
Speaker 7: It's been seafood it is, but you're right, rock Paper

224
00:11:57,799 --> 00:11:59,840
Tacos one.

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 6: We all know that spot.

226
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a seafood places very popular down in

227
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,240
this area, like in Gulf Shores.

228
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: I can't think of the name of it right now,

229
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:07,759
but it was that.

230
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,279
Speaker 6: Yep.

231
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,759
Speaker 1: The old CC's Coffee by the o G.

232
00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: Walk Ons, by our friends over at Pro Dreams, right

233
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:16,200
down the end.

234
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Cap Coffee Shop by a University.

235
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 5: Of seventy five different things since then, we all get it.

236
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're the Cleveland Browns.

237
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 7: The Cleveland Brown Building is a Cleveland Brown I mean, rip,

238
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:32,159
good for the honor you keep getting tenants.

239
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, rip for Mellow Mushroom. What was very good Wednesday Nights.

240
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,679
It's been seventeen different things.

241
00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 7: It's actually the highest grossing Melo mushroom in the whole country,

242
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:41,000
was it?

243
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 6: I didn't realize that it was a chain.

244
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. At some point it probably was not

245
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:47,799
the highest grossing.

246
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,799
Speaker 5: Right, But I mean, like, what happened because when we

247
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:53,679
were in college Wednesday Nights popping to Mellow Mushroom.

248
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 6: Popping open mic night, Yeah, a lot happened.

249
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,159
Speaker 1: But I guess that's true.

250
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 5: I guess our other favorite establishment in college has shut

251
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,279
down and had to come back since so.

252
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 6: Oh, you know what we were going to talk about.

253
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 7: Let's stay in the AFC nor North and a new

254
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,159
job has been filled with the Pittsburgh Steelers, my former

255
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,320
coach for the Green Bay Packers and also former coach

256
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,080
of the Dallas Cowboys. After another year or two off,

257
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,480
I can't remember if he's been out for two. No,

258
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:25,080
it's just one year, he takes the job with the

259
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,720
Pittsburgh Steelers, and let me tell you, if you hadn't like,

260
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:31,159
the press conference that he had was fantastic, Like he

261
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:33,519
almost he couldn't even get through the first sentence without

262
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,039
almost crying. So this guy is a Pittsburgh guy. We

263
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,159
used to kind of like make fun of old Pittsburgh Mike.

264
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,639
You know, he's always would talk about Pittsburgh, like in

265
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,879
his in his talks and the speeches to us in

266
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:47,720
Green Bay, Wisconsin, right, and he was at Pittsburgh through

267
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,919
and through. Like if y'all think, like people from Texas

268
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
are like proud to be from Texas and they always

269
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,080
say it Pittsburgh. People from Pittsburgh are like that times

270
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,240
ten like baden to let you know that you that

271
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,000
they're when they're like the first time you meet him,

272
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,320
they'll let you know five times that they're from Pittsburgh

273
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,480
and they're Pittsburgh tough. So Mike McCarthy grew up a

274
00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:10,120
Pittsburgh Steelers fan. His family lives there. He worked at

275
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:12,360
a little dive bar when he was growing up, and

276
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,320
all that everything that he used to always preached us

277
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,399
was about Pittsburgh. And so he gets the job. So

278
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:21,279
congratulations of Mike McCarthy. I hope it works out. You

279
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,039
never know, following like a legend like that. Mike Toma

280
00:14:24,039 --> 00:14:26,679
has been there for nineteen years, and he followed Bill

281
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,799
Cower before that, like you're following.

282
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,759
Speaker 1: Three coaches in the last like ye forever right exactly.

283
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 6: It's like quarterback for the Packers.

284
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,879
Speaker 1: They've had like three quarterbacks for like forty years or whatever,

285
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,799
same situation longer.

286
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 7: And so it's, uh, he takes out, so I wish

287
00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:46,679
him the best. He's really good at at coaching quarterbacks,

288
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:49,720
coaching offenses. He took I thought he took Dak Prescott

289
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,440
to a good level.

290
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 6: His offense is great.

291
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:53,679
Speaker 7: Of course, coach Aaron Rodgers for a long time, so

292
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960
it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out.

293
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,039
But he was asked about it, and he said, why

294
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:01,440
wouldn't you want Aaron Rogers to be your quarterback?

295
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 6: I get it.

296
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 7: A lot of people don't feel the same way, but

297
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:06,919
certainly there is a history relationship there. So it'll be

298
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,399
interesting to see what that if Aaron Rodgers wants to

299
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,000
continue playing football. But if he does, you gotta imagine

300
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,519
that that is a connection that's going to come back together.

301
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:21,399
It would be really cool for me from my seat,

302
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,600
just having a relationship with both those guys and being

303
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:26,759
with them for six years, it would be really cool

304
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,720
for me to see them, you know, one last ride.

305
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: So you can tell him and a lot to him.

306
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: And we were talking with Scott Tolzi the other day

307
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:34,799
and he's like, yeah, I mean even when we go

308
00:15:34,799 --> 00:15:39,120
play in Pittsburgh, like Mike enjoyed Pittsburgh and for sure

309
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,519
like all the spots in Pittsburgh and where he grew up.

310
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,480
And you're right, it is one of those cities in

311
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,720
the country that if you're from there, you're incredibly proud

312
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,679
of it and you make sure that you represent it

313
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:50,279
whenever you can. And so that is a life long

314
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,399
and dream. I mean, his parents has press conference, Like

315
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,000
you know what I'm saying, It meant a lot.

316
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:56,759
Speaker 7: I told you not to send them in the front

317
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,320
row because he was starting to cry, like his first

318
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,720
line up.

319
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:03,720

354
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:06,000
down here. How's the weather up there over there wherever

355
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,400
you're at in bad Rouge?

356
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,839
Speaker 8: It's pretty chilly, but it's better than what it has been,

357
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,279
for sure. That's going out.

358
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: We got any cold weather comfort foods going on?

359
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 8: Jeff, Yeah, I've been eating a lot of soup at

360
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,599
the house of the few days, that's for sure. I

361
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,160
made some gumbo for my I made some red being

362
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,839
gumbo for my daughter's graduation. My daughter graduated college or university.

363
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, congratulations, Yeah, thank you.

364
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:35,799
Speaker 8: I'll make sure and pass it on to hers. I'm very,

365
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,000
very proud of her, and but we had some we

366
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,319
had I made a ton of red being gumbo for

367
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,640
her graduation party and had some leftover. So we've been

368
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,640
thawing some of that out and eating it, and you

369
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,039
know it's the when you free something, it still continues

370
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,960
to meld just mildly, right. And so I don't know,

371
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,119
we've been I've probably had this conversation three or four

372
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,279
times since last week about importance of melting its soup

373
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,680
and letting it said, and man, there's something special about

374
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,200
how a soup forms you from the inside.

375
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Sheep is chili a soup?

376
00:19:09,319 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 8: Absolutely?

377
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 6: Okay? All right?

378
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know it's a fall like the stew family,

379
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,960
like where is it fall? But we're going soup?

380
00:19:17,839 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 8: Yeah? Well, I mean to me, I think the stew

381
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:22,279
is almost a soup, you know what I mean. It's

382
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,240
just kind of like thicker cut soup, bigger chunks. To me,

383
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,640
I think the differentiator what differentiates it is the size

384
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,480
of the stuff that's in it. To me, you know,

385
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,160
like a stew is bigger chunks, and a soup you

386
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,799
should be able to sit a little bit of everything

387
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,200
on your spoon. So in my mind, that's what differentiates it.

388
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 7: So when you make a chili, are you going like

389
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:46,480
a ground beef situation or like a cube or a chop?

390
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

391
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 8: You know, if I'm if I'm making my best chili

392
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,839
that I have. It's gonna be a you know, like

393
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,480
a small cube, you know, something that's like a half

394
00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:00,319
inch to quarter inch and it's needy, right, But if

395
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,160
I'm just trying to throw it togret together because the

396
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,400
kids are chomping on my heels and I'm gonna.

397
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a let's say, I got a hashtag

398
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,759
munchies here. Now I didn't even know, I don't even

399
00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:15,400
know if this was possible. But have you ever made

400
00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:16,680
cheese from scratch?

401
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I have?

402
00:20:18,279 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, so you yeah, you use the rent it, which

403
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,279
is an enzyme that comes from a cow's stomach. And no,

404
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,519
that's that's for fresh cheese. It's not. I don't know

405
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,279
if it's for all cheese, but yeah, I have a

406
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:30,920
few times.

407
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: And I actually.

408
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 8: Sent him to a cheese making class that he came

409
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:39,000
back and we you know, farted around with it. And

410
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,720
making cheese is a really interesting deal.

411
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,519
Speaker 1: Like what type of cheese can you can you make

412
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:45,880
from scratch? Well?

413
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 8: You know, like buffalo, like fresh buff buffalo mozzarella, you know,

414
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,480
like you soak that in the rend it just overnight

415
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:53,319
and and you can have a you can have it

416
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,680
pretty quickly or oh gosh, what's the cheese with the

417
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:04,839
soft metal. Uh, I'm brain farting here. I'm getting old. Yeah,

418
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,319
but yeah, fresh cheeses are the easiest and best in Buffalo.

419
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,839
Mosrell is the one that comes to find.

420
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,559
Speaker 7: But yeah, I guess if you're making mozarella, you can

421
00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:18,000
do like you can make like barata, you can make

422
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,640
like cheese.

423
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:21,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, cheese.

424
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:25,079
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, that's that's what I was trying to spit out.

425
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:27,240
And I don't know if you guys have ever had

426
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:28,440
cheese curves before.

427
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: But you make those through way. He paid for a package,

428
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,319
if you know.

429
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,799
Speaker 7: He's yeah, yeah, it's not a good cheese curd unless

430
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:35,759
it squeaks when you eat it.

431
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 8: Squeaky cheese, that's right.

432
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, wait, that's the thing. I guess, got a squeaks,

433
00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:41,119
have a squeaky cheese.

434
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, yeah, that's right. When you when you chew on,

435
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,039
it's supposed to squeak. And up North and Canada, in

436
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,279
Canadia they have potine, right, and so yeah, that's the

437
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,680
ultimate Canadian dish. So you know, cheese is a big,

438
00:21:54,839 --> 00:21:56,119
big part of everybody's culture.

439
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 6: I think poutine man so good.

440
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jacob doesn't know anything about he's West Coast guy. Yeah,

441
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,400
nothing nothing. Chef Michael Johnson is our guests here trying

442
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
to get your munchy questions. Decide to buy you forward,

443
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,240
Chad chef. Right now.

444
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 5: If somebody's starting the new year, New Year, knew me

445
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:23,359
right and every year, that's kind of you know, when

446
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,160
the dyeing starts. It's when the getting back on track. Like,

447
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,160
what would be maybe the easiest tip for them to

448
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,480
try to stay on schedule to not just dive back

449
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,920
into the fast food or the fatty foods. If you

450
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,759
were trying to like create a plan that was easy

451
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:42,880
to kind of follow inconvenient for them, what would be

452
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,359
your advice?

453
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 8: Be reasonable about it, you know what I mean. A

454
00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:50,720
lot of people delve way too deep into a diet

455
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,160
and there's there's the recovery that comes from that, and

456
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,440
I think you have to be realistic about it and

457
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:00,279
set realistic goals. You know, like if you go and

458
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,680
move remove all the sugar and all the fats and

459
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,440
all the unhealthy stuff from your life, all at the

460
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:08,200
same time, your your family is not going to life.

461
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,599
So truth be known. I did a spiritual fast and

462
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,400
I usually I do it between November between Thanksgiving and

463
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Christmas and you know, like I did exactly that and

464
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,119
removed all these unhealthy things, and you know, like I

465
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,039
got super fussy, and after about ten days I recovered

466
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:30,640
from it, and you know, was was good. But uh,

467
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,880
truth be known, and I'm over sharing here. After I

468
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,160
did my fast, you know, there was there's a there's

469
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,359
a return to it. And once you come off the fast,

470
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,160
like you have this or or a diet for that matter,

471
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
there's this likelihood that you're going to return heavily to

472
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,119
your old ways of eating, which I did and I

473
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:50,720
found out the hard way that I'm actually a Type

474
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:54,319
two diabetic and so wow, uh, you know, like there

475
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,759
is a there is a danger to it, you know,

476
00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:58,480
and a real you know, like you have to be

477
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:01,559
careful what you're doing when you're eating, and so you know,

478
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,000
growing old is a part of life and I found

479
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:09,720
that helpful hard way. But you know it also you know,

480
00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:12,000
there is a healthy way to eat and you know,

481
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:14,480
lots of fiber in your diet. I think, you know,

482
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:18,279
you have to be realistic about it and set goals

483
00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:20,960
that are attainable without putting yourself in danger. And if

484
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,880
you're going to go on to a heavy diet, you

485
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,000
need to consulted to your doctor, you know, to make

486
00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:28,400
sure that everything is in and check. You know, as

487
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,480
a younger person you probably won't have as much bounce back.

488
00:24:31,559 --> 00:24:33,440
But the older, the older you get and the older

489
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,759
your body gets, you know, more likely it is that

490
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:40,200
you know something could come of it. So I think

491
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:42,559
that you know, set set attainable goals.

492
00:24:43,599 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 7: It's always good to do some sort of like I've

493
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,119
always found it, like the most challenging like self discipline

494
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:51,240
things to do is a diet. I think most people

495
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:52,839
find that out. I think a lot of New Year's

496
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,799
diets are set and get broken pretty quick. But that's

497
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:57,119
like one of the best things you use for this,

498
00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:00,279
Like it's a little disciplined challenge for yourself as you yeah,

499
00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:02,079
as you get older, whatever age you are, you can

500
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:05,319
eating is something that everybody loves to do, certainly, so

501
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,559
it's hard to get hard to cut that.

502
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,799
Speaker 8: Out, I think, you know, like cutting soda out, you know,

503
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,720
like even sugary foods. You know, like take it one

504
00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:15,039
step at a time and eliminate the things that you

505
00:25:15,079 --> 00:25:16,759
are most important to you to get out of your

506
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:19,240
life and to me, I think that sugary foods obviously,

507
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,160
but you know, you know, saturated fats, there's caffeine. There's

508
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,039
all kinds of stuff that we could take out of

509
00:25:26,079 --> 00:25:29,559
our diet that could make us healthier. You know, you

510
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,000
just have to be realistic about it.

511
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,519
Speaker 7: I got a really good question here a hashtag monchies.

512
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:36,480
Is chef ever going to release a cookbook?

513
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:40,839
Speaker 8: You know, I've been asked that a thousand times, and I,

514
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,480
you know, like I love to write, and I think

515
00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:46,480
that before my life is over, I probably will. I

516
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:49,839
have some other things that I want to accomplish, you know,

517
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,119
I think they're more impactful for me and for a community,

518
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,880
you know, like I think it's quicker. Cookbooks seem to

519
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,000
kind of be like an uh, you know, a thing

520
00:25:59,039 --> 00:26:03,000
of the past almost, and so I like sharing information

521
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,720
for sure, But taking time to write the book is

522
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,359
that it's consuming, right, and so there's some other things

523
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,519
I think that I would like to accomplish. It kind

524
00:26:13,519 --> 00:26:16,640
of meet the same goals of sharing, sharing food and recipes,

525
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,039
but are are more realistic with time management.

526
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,559
Speaker 1: And this is his cookbook. He tells the people everything.

527
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:25,319
Speaker 6: All right exactly, that's right. Yeah, yeah, And I think.

528
00:26:25,319 --> 00:26:27,279
Speaker 7: Chef You're like talking to you and just hearing your

529
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,640
stories and how you feel about food and the body

530
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:33,079
and just like the spiritual and the mental part of everything,

531
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,839
because eating is a spiritual thing certainly, especially if you've

532
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:36,759
had good food.

533
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, like I enjoy.

534
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 7: Hearing just not even just like the recipe part, but

535
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,599
just sharing the story about hey, like just what how

536
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,559
you feel about food and your journey with foods. But

537
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:49,160
it's pretty fantastic. That's why our listeners and certainly we'd

538
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,359
like to hear from you every single week.

539
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 8: Well, I appreciate that, and you know, like that's kind

540
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,640
of the way I want to share things. You know,

541
00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:56,359
to me, it is spiritual, and I think it is

542
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,160
to a lot of people, and you know it's uh

543
00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:01,799
to you inside. You know, when you shared it, it

544
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,799
feels good. And you know, like the way I cook,

545
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,000
when I cook for the people that I cooked for,

546
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,319
you know, it is something that you shared from inside.

547
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,160
And you know, I think that's why it's special that

548
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:13,240
Louisiana to get together. And we were haul counting this

549
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,559
past weekend and over in Delcolm and and you know,

550
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,799
what was started off as six people ended up being

551
00:27:19,839 --> 00:27:23,079
like thirty people, and you know, crawfish and everything else

552
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,359
and you know, it's beautiful to get people around food

553
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,119
and to share stories and to listen and just enjoy life.

554
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:30,839
Speaker 1: Chef.

555
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,799
Speaker 5: Last one before we let you go go to king Cake?

556
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:36,839
How do we feel about king cake? Someone was asking

557
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,599
if you make your own? But I know baking is

558
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,720
not your favorite thing to do in the kitchen, So

559
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,839
do you make a king cake or do you have a.

560
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,599
Speaker 1: Favorite spot that you always pick one up?

561
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 8: Now you know this? This year, so I've been kind

562
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:53,720
of pushing towards sourdough breads because they're easier digestible. And

563
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:58,319
I have started doing business with a company called Saint

564
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Brudo Breads and they make sourdough Kingkake, and.

565
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,039
Speaker 6: I think pretty damn okay.

566
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, And it's it's kind of non traditional, right, like

567
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:09,400
it's it's not one of your big brand names. But

568
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:12,119
I love the fact that it's sourdough and a digest

569
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,519
here and for me, it kind of meets me in

570
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,319
the middle for what I'm trying to accomplish with my

571
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,759
athletes and you know, what we're trying to do with

572
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,880
the best of you know, the Carnival or or or

573
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,519
Marty Graul or whatever. And so yeah, I don't know

574
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:26,680
that's the one for me this year.

575
00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:28,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was the name of that one? Again?

576
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 8: Bruno?

577
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: All right, I am writing that.

578
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 6: Jeff, do you have a Do you have a sour

579
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:35,319
dough like mother?

580
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:41,519
Speaker 8: He keeps I don't. It's quite uh, you know, energetic

581
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:46,880
to put into it, So I trust other people. Yeah.

582
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:49,119
Having said that, you know, I think that if I asked,

583
00:28:49,559 --> 00:28:52,000
I have plenty of friends that had sourdough starters, that

584
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:54,319
it's actually easier if you take one of theirs and

585
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,759
can create. You know, instead of trying to start your

586
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,240
phone from scratch, if you could convince somebody to give

587
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,400
you a little piece of thing mother, uh, the starter,

588
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,839
the sourdough mother, then you know it actually helps foster

589
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:10,319
the growth of the of the bacteria.

590
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 7: So you know, just uhs Jacob, so confused.

591
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: Mother the hell is a mother?

592
00:29:20,279 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 6: This guy?

593
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 8: The mother is the starter, you know, like it, you know, like,

594
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,599
if you know what you're doing with the sour dough,

595
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,279
you can have a sour dough starter what you call

596
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,799
what you call starter. Once it gets up and living

597
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,440
and creates, you know, it's called a mother. It's it's

598
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:39,400
like uh uh you know this living creature. So to speak,

599
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,599
you like, it's full of all this uh bacteria that

600
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960
live in there. And so when you have once your

601
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000
starter has has grown to the place that it's living

602
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:50,960
in your wherever you keep it, it's uh, it's called

603
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,279
a mother.

604
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,279
Speaker 1: Flinn. How the hell did you know about this?

605
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 6: Come smart?

606
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,839
Speaker 1: No, I know that's not it.

607
00:29:56,039 --> 00:29:56,279
Speaker 3: M h.

608
00:29:57,359 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

609
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 7: Just we used to have like starters to when I

610
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,079
was growing up on a couple of different breads, and

611
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,920
I don't know it's I thought it was pretty common knowledge.

612
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,319
Speaker 5: Job, well, I had money, I asked if we had

613
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:11,160
a mother Kane had money, Chef, Chef. We appreciate you

614
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:13,359
every single week. Enjoy the rest of your week. We'll

615
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,200
catch up again soon.

616
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,279
Speaker 8: You guys.

617
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:20,319
Speaker 5: Take care you as well I did, but grow up

618
00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:23,079
a little bit, lad, turn you up here. You know

619
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,200
what the hell they're talking about.

620
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: I'd actually never heard of a sourdough mother before. Yeah,

621
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,240
next time you talk about that. I've always.

622
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,559
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to get into sourdough baking and like

623
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,440
making the bread myself or whatever.

624
00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 4: But it all seems way.

625
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: Too complicated, Like I don't know what a starter is.

626
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 4: I don't know why I need a starter. I don't

627
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,319
know why I need to feed the starter.

628
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:47,839
Speaker 5: Like it's funny that makes mate sourdough bread is actually

629
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:48,759
really white bread.

630
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:49,039
Speaker 7: Of you.

631
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:52,799
Speaker 4: Fair enought the whole foods and picks them up.

632
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I feel like people Robertson's and Rouses or whatever,

633
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,000
the sour dough bread you make it up.

634
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 7: You're not in your thirties yet that I think once

635
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,839
you get to that point, I think at that point

636
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,440
you're gonna get in the more of the sourdough game.

637
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 4: So you see, I'm already kind of into it. Is

638
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,839
just so confusing to me that I like.

639
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 5: I want to, but it's way to when I pull

640
00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:12,640
up to Rouses and grab a sourdough loaf.

641
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,039
Speaker 1: Well, you're in.

642
00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:14,799
Speaker 7: Like the half marathon. Well I feel like that. Like

643
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,160
that follows by the live laugh love sign.

644
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever be live laugh love. Nothing

645
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:23,279
about me says live laugh love.

646
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:25,559
Speaker 6: That's good.

647
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:28,319
Speaker 7: I saw the post the other day that said, you know,

648
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:30,160
you could tell somebody used to be a party animal

649
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:31,960
they run half marathons.

650
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,519
Speaker 6: So I don't know is that true? Okay?

651
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: High school me was bad, Okay, so maybe so.

652
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,359
Speaker 6: It checks out a little bit.

653
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:46,759
Speaker 5: Everybody's got it. Yeah, all right, sourdough mother got it.

654
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,759
More O TV when we come back here live from Mobile, Alabama.

00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,360
because he doesn't know how to make sourdough bread.

711
00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 6: It was pretty comical response.

712
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,079
Speaker 1: Really, I mean it feels like something like you gotta

713
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,920
be kind of bougie. No, dude's blue collar?

714
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,039
Speaker 8: Is it?

715
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 7: That's gritty. That's a mason jar of just some bacteria. Foreman,

716
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:59,599
it's called the mother. It feels real whitebread. Sorry, sorry, chat?

717

Speaker 1: Ever heard of that? We had? Uh?

718
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 6: Well, you learned something new every day.

719
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:06,199
Speaker 5: God Elanja, I don't know what y'all have. We had

720
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,079
wonder bread growing up where I grew up. It's like

721
00:35:10,199 --> 00:35:12,800
Miss Well, we'd get the H TB the Hill Country

722
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,280
one or Miss Baird's or something like.

723
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: That, maybe his Blue Bunny brand.

724
00:35:20,559 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 8: That was.

725
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 5: When you get upgraded, you get the peter Pan peanut

726
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,239
butter that I'm sure it's not peanut butter.

727
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:27,079
Speaker 6: Oh there's peanuts in it.

728
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 5: You think, Yeah, you get to have the county market.

729
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,000
Shout out to the county market, all right. It didn't

730
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,800
make sourdough though.

731
00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: Sorry.

732
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,119
Speaker 7: I think sourdough has became popular in San Francisco.

733
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 6: I believe.

734
00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:49,079
Speaker 5: Can y'all tell the meth gator story? We did a

735
00:35:49,159 --> 00:35:52,000
full episode two hours on meth gators one time.

736
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,199
Speaker 1: I think it was. I think it was a Florida

737
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,360
man that.

738
00:35:57,639 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 5: Somehow, some way in miss play misplaced on his myth

739
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,360
and gators got into said math and it was creating

740
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,360
a meth gator.

741
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: Yes, hyper aggressive gators, yes, hyper aggressive.

742
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,639
Speaker 7: I pictured it kind of like a rabbit animal with

743
00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:19,039
like rabies, right, yeah, that's what rabbit means, but an

744
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,719
animal with rabies going crazy looking for I mean, if

745
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,320
you'all ever seen they made the movie, I don't know

746
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,800
if it's bath based on the meth Gators. I think

747
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,039
it was actually based on kind of like a true story.

748
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:33,800
Not a true story of course, like this story, but

749
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,519
the plotline. But Cocaina Bears. Do you remember that that

750
00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:40,679
movie coming up? Mm hm, it was fantastic.

751
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 6: What was it called.

752
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: Cocaine Bears?

753
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 7: Yes, Cocaine Bears. Okay, yes, yeah. I try to church

754
00:36:47,519 --> 00:36:52,400
it up with Cocaina not really knowing the rules around

755
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,519
here a radio game. I mean, cocaine is not a

756
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:58,320
bad word. I don't know, bad habit not a bad word.

757
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 6: Do drugs?

758
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: I tell you, I can't have money. Yeah, if you

759
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,800

760
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,440

761
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 7: What is that?

762
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:11,679
Speaker 1: I don't know.

763
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,119
Speaker 7: All right, I've never been in a place that wanted

764
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:18,400
to be that was like such a big poser mobile

765
00:37:18,559 --> 00:37:22,360

766
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,440

768
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,239

respect to the game, the Louisiana game, the Marti Gras game,

772
00:37:39,079 --> 00:37:40,400
but they claimed the first one.

773
00:37:40,639 --> 00:37:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Like I always say, it's

774
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,280
not who did it first, who does it best? And

775
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,480

I love coming to Mobile once a year for four days.

777
00:37:54,039 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 5: But when people say, Marty Graul, you don't you don't

778
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,079
think Mobile Alabama think.

779
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,679
Speaker 7: Mobile is Well, it's been a cool little downtown area.

780
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,960
It has been cold, so it's kind of like not

781
00:38:05,079 --> 00:38:06,920
like you kinda want to go walk around a whole lot.

782
00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 6: But it has been nice.

783
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 7: It's been my first like extended stay in Mobile before

784
00:38:11,519 --> 00:38:13,079
I came to a convention one time a couple of

785
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:16,599
years ago for the National Guard. But it's been very good.

786
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:20,840
The Senior Ball has been fantastic. It's our last show. Hey,

787
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,719
you're going to be gone a little bit next week. Huh,

788
00:38:23,159 --> 00:38:25,559
just like the whole week. Oh man, I'll tell you what.

789
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,559
I just got to get to the finish line. I

790
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,639
have to get to Okay, So we're here. It is Thursday,

791
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,119
January twenty ninth. I am off tomorrow because my god,

792
00:38:36,199 --> 00:38:38,360
I need to see my family. I'm going to see

793
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,320
them tomorrow and I'm going to see them on Saturday

794
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,639
and then I fly out on the first of February

795
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,880
to go to San Francisco. I'm going to be there

796
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:54,000
doing multiple shows, probably three shows a day, the second, third, fourth, fifth,

797
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:58,119
and sixth, and then I fly back late that night.

798
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 5: I think it's a red eye, and I get to

799
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,079
Baton Rouge super late. I'll be off to seventh and eighth,

800
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:06,159
and then that's the finish line. Just got to get

801
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,519
to February the ninth. I just got to get to

802
00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:10,119
February the ninth, and then we do a week of

803
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:13,760
shows and then we both are taking vacation for the

804
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,119
week that the kids are out for Mardi Gras. So

805
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,360
I have gone, you know, multiple rounds of the playoff.

806
00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:25,440
I did the National Championship, we do this here, what's

807
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,960
that last? I don't even know what event we're at

808
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,119
here at the Senior Bowl. Then we'll go to Super Bowl,

809
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,280
and then I'm off until the Draft in April. But

810
00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:36,800
it's not like like I don't mind the work. I

811
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,599
do two shows every single day. It's not the work,

812
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:39,920
it's the being away from.

813
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, being away from family stuff for sure. So almost

814
00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:44,760
to the finish line, Bud, I.

815
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: Can see it will be I can see it now.

816
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,079
Speaker 8: You know.

817
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: Super Bowl Radio is the most intense thing I do

818
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:54,159
all year. It's three hours every day solo. Oh and

819
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,920
it's it's a pop up channel on Serious XM, so

820
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,440
it's my own channel for a week.

821
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't think give you an old patna I should.

822
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:01,280
I don't know.

823
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 5: They like it because it's it's Guess Tavy, So I'm

824
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,440
not gonna act I can buy myself. I'm probably buy

825
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,360
myself other than three hours an hour of it per day.

826
00:40:08,519 --> 00:40:12,719
And there's no there's no laundress cause to throw anything

827
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,039
off of ye. But look, it is what it is,

828
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,079
is my third year doing and I love it's great energy.

829
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:19,400
So we'll see and be great. You're gonna do like

830
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,159
there's a little time time change.

831
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 7: You're gonna be two hours behind us, certainly, so you'll

832
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,880
have to wake up early even if you want to

833
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,440
join us in that third hour. But be it'll be

834
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:32,599
myself Laundra Tayte the tripod rolling all week next week

835
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:34,639
from Baton Rouge and you'll join the show as much

836
00:40:34,679 --> 00:40:37,360
as you can. Be great to get insight, first hand

837
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,159
experience from the radio row. They're super I know it's

838
00:40:40,159 --> 00:40:42,639
a popping place to be it's a place to be. Yeah,

839
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,679
and is that actually in San Francisco?

840
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 5: I think the radio row is going to be in

841
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,679
San Francisco. The game is in Santa Clara. But I

842
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,360
don't go to the game. I have no desire to

843
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,039
go to the game. I am going to be on

844
00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:56,239
the first bird smoking Friday when I finish up.

845
00:40:57,199 --> 00:40:59,519
Speaker 6: Good for you, buddy, Wow, it'd be fun though. We

846
00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:00,320
fantas us.

847
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: That shows that though five am.

848
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 7: That's the reason that the that's whole show. We just

849
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,639
couldn't Yeah, we just couldn't figure out the whole of

850
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,400
the time change. So probably be a lot of the

851
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,400
same next year because it will be LA next year,

852
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:15,880
Is that right?

853
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,199
Speaker 1: Yeah?

854
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 5: I hope we find a way to change the clock though,

855
00:41:18,679 --> 00:41:21,599
because LA is going to be a great time. LA

856
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:23,559
does a good job hosting. I'm to be honest with you.

857
00:41:23,639 --> 00:41:26,079
San Francisco is not my favorite spot for any big game.

858
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:29,280
It's just everything spread out on the convention Center is

859
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,199
not nearly the same size as the other ones. Uh,

860
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,079
So LA will be a better time Las Vegas for

861
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:39,440
college LA for the Super Bowl.

862
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 6: So well.

863
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 5: Chargers Packers, bucket, bucket for sure happening all right, we'll

864
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,159
take our last break of the show. Put a bow

roll off dumpster, three different sizes to choose from. But

can catch beads in my front yard. We can eat

885
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,599
and drink a couple of cold pops. But I don't

886
00:42:43,639 --> 00:42:46,840

887
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,440

better based on the last round.
