It's 7 o'clock and this hour is brought to you by zero-res, smart, lasting, clean. Did you have something you want to share with the class? I just, yesterday, it was a squid wasn't here yesterday. You remember when you dropped it at 7 o'clock on the die. I did. I know I had to stop myself. You're like, "Hit it on the head!" And I was like, "Man, all I can hear is usher. That's all I can hear." And I was like, "Man, I can speak in a singing in your car when you're, you know, early 2000s." Like, that was the one in 10. And then I watched an interesting, I didn't get to play it all, but remember I said I liked a certain song by Cisco, and then you guys judged me, you know, I was in my younger years. I probably had no business singing that song, but the instrumental's behind it. There was a brilliant story that, no, there was like an orchestra on stuff, guys. Yeah. It was ahead of my time. It doesn't change the fact that you're not playing, you're not playing in the orchestra by the way. Look, I'm just saying, there's a great appreciation for the music. Yeah, the artists, the artists that it is, the artists that it is. The artists that it is. That went into that. I think it was a violin. Dude, you switched it in your quick. Yeah, how did you have that song of the play? I thought it was like, bam. I love it. Hips, hips, hips. I think this was one of the options for the 2000s, actually. I didn't go, this was an honorable mention. Isn't there? It was an honorable mention. What about like, all for one? Was that, that was two? Wasn't it? Are they early, early 90s? Was that 90s? That was 90s. Maybe. That was like, that had to have been like mid to late 90s. You're right. Mid to like 97. I was thinking early. I was singing the church choir with Jamie. From now from now. You did? Yeah. Wait, which song? Up together. Which version of all four? We talking about boys and men? Or like, uh, didn't like staying and Brian Adams do one? No, no, no, no. We're talking about the group. Yeah, she saw a song. Oh, yeah. A girl. I'll tell you about the song. I'll just say this much. But you're talking about the group. Yeah. I'm talking about the group. Yeah. I was making both lists. What are you saying in the choir 16 this morning? I was literally laughing. Like, laughing all out to myself going to this picture. I feel like you were-- Elbow out the window, you know? I feel like you was in some sort of crossroads. Like, part of you, I think, wanted to maybe be grunge. Like, emo kind of thing, but not fully emo. But just more in the grunge side. And then you also had your countryside, you know? Yeah. What do you say? No, full-ass countryside musically. I mean, just a small one. It's old school mainly. I mean, because I consider like groups like Blackberry Smoke and Whiskey Myers more of a-- Southern Rock. Southern Rock. No, I do like some Zack Bryan and stuff, which, by the way, after seeing the Hawk 2A girl on stage with Zack Bryan and Nashville. That's all that. Zack Bryan, I'm just going to tell you now. Like, I think it's at Saturday show. The nation needs to be up there day-to-day. I need to go sing a song with Zack Bryan. Wait, who was up there at stage with him? That Hawk 2A girl. Hawk 2A. You know what you're saying? Do you know what you're saying? Have I been under a rock? Oh, man, they even-- even Branding God-- She's all over the place. --is made through the horse. Hawk 2A girl. And she is so-- Let me go pull this up. Yeah, anyways. Yeah. Wait, I guess I have a show to do. OK, I'll hook it up later. Put my phone down. All right, Matthew Bergeron. Actually, we got to talk to him last year at training camp. Guard for the Atlanta Falcons. Really, and I shouldn't say kid, but really nice young adult who-- Young man. Right? Young man. I love it. It sounded like he's from South Louisiana. I had a little bit of that occasion, because he's got that French Canadian accent. Yeah, it's crazy. He sounded like a kid. Anyway, so we were looking at basically NFL all breakout team. And this is the offensive side of the ball. So this is from NFL.com. Bucky Brooks, I think, was the author. And he's on this list. Yeah. The number of people who jump off, and of course, we'll kind of break through it. But obviously, Bergeron is the one that Falcons fans are going to focus on. And I think it's logical to say that Bergeron has a kind of a breakout year. I think that's just the logical next step when you have a guy that started all 17 games as a rookie. Yeah. Yeah, but I agree. But Mike, unless-- Do you believe in pro football focus? Because I don't. I don't necessarily read what they say and say that they know what the blocking assignments are, what even the schemes. So unless I'm a guy-- and I-- and they even had Chris Lynchman as the highest rated guard, which I think he's a top 10 player guardwise. I don't know if he's top three. You and I had their conversation a lot last year. Yeah. What I would ask you is, how is the average fan going to watch games other than saying, I don't see Bergeron being exposed on replays from missing blocks, pointed out by the play-by-play guys. How are you going to know? How are we going to sit here and know? Yeah, I don't think this is something where I can sit here and quantify it to a fan that's watching her on a Sunday of like, hey, this is what you need to look for if you're going to look for Bergeron. I will tell you what I think leads to a breakout star or a breakout candidate. I think it's comfortability when you're a rookie. I mean, I cannot-- I cannot say this enough. How impressive he was last year. Your head is absolutely spinning. Not only is he making the transition in the NFL, but he's moving from left tackle to guard, right? And he's doing all of this at a very, very high level. Now, was he an all-pro last year? No, there were times when, you know, he looked a little bit out of spots and swim moves would get him. And he buries head a little bit. But comfortability is what leads to that. And I think that when I look at this list and I look at the fact that they've changed off into coordinators, I think they're there. You could always look at that and wonder if there's going to be some fallback. But I think the fact that Zach Robinson runs a wide zone style of offense leads to a level of comfortability with him. I'm glad you mentioned Zach Robinson and that offense, because here's a little bit of what Bucky Brooks had to say about Matthew Bergeron and why he's on this list. He said the athletic interior blocker is poised to shine in a revamped offense under new coordinators Zach Robinson that makes the most of his talents as a people mover at the point of attack. So Bergeron's movement skills should lead to more space for, this should be music to your ears, for running back Bijon Robinson on runs while providing sufficient protection for Kirk Cousins to attack from the pocket. And then it goes on to say, as Robinson builds a game plan that enables the Falcons to showcase their skill players on the perimeter, the football world would come to better appreciate the work Bergeron does between the tackles in 2024. And I do think, yeah, yeah, that sounded really legendary. No, I do think that, and look, I'll go out and say, I think Bergeron is better suited for what he will be asked to do this year than possibly Chris Lindstrom is. Chris Lindstrom fit like a puzzle piece into what Arthur Smith needed at Right Guard. I mean, it was the most beautiful marriage you can think of. He was the, he was the Right Guard version of Jason Kelsey in a lot of ways where he was an absolute spider monkey that was going to climb the next level. After a rough first couple of weeks, I really thought that he settled back in in his past protection, kind of getting a jump on guys, not allowing them to bull rush because he gets up and in their chest really, really early. You know, kind of jumpsets him. Bergeron is a bigger body. I mean, I don't remember what he weighed. The calm miner coming in the last year was north to 320, I want to say. He's a big, big dude compared to Chris Lindstrom. I think when you look at Zach Robinson's offense and you kind of start to look at the, they are both wide zone style of offenses. But what Zach Robinson asked is a lot different than what Arthur Smith was asking. You are going to see every now and then, which we saw very rarely last year as asking these guards to pull, kick out blocks, maybe some a gap powers. There is also a lot of what you would call a duo run play, which means that there are straight double teams up front and the run back just going downhill and he's picking a gap. It's not even a zone. It's just like, hey, if there's a guy in the gap in between us, we're both going to double team him and try to push him all the way into the linebackers lap. Duo is a staple of what they were trying to do in LA last year. You did not see a gap run plays from the Atlanta Falcons last year. You didn't. Now, sometimes they would end up in the a gap due to cutback lanes and running back, kind of pushing the envelope, cutting back, cutting back, finding the a gap, but very, very rarely in this offense. And this is why you had your legendary John who Smith speed sweep on the two yard line very, very rarely in this offense last year. Did you see guys being moved north and south? And so when I look at Bergeron in the bigger body, which I'm going to go out on a limb and say he probably weighs at least 30 pounds more than Chris Lindstrom right now after seeing them in person, I think he fits very, very well. I think he fits very, very, very well into what Zach Robinson is going to try to do up front with this group. So we're going to talk about Bergeron. I can't help but bring up Jake. And I think that Jake has been a guy that for as much, you know, look, he's had his moments where he's not played well at times during seasons. And I don't think he had a particularly good season a couple of years ago, but how does it change his game? A, knowing who the guy who he's supposed to play next to and start with this year, because he has not really had a consistent guy next to him in quite a few years and B, if Bergeron takes that next step, how much better is Jake do to that? Because I think we forget to wait to many times how Garden Tackle are connected. Oh, so it's massive. What's funny is, and you and I saw Jake a couple of Mondays ago and I walk up to him and I go, "Dude, I don't know how you're doing it." I mean, it seems like it's been three decades since I suited up and he looked dead in the face, didn't he? And he said, "I feel good." I was like, "Good for you, dude." He said he feels really, really good at this point and he's moving well. But I think more so than Bergeron being lined up next to Jake and I go back to Zach Robinson and everything they were able to do offensively. Very rarely did you see the offensive tackles in LA absolutely left to be exposed on important downs. And I think that's a huge thing to take into effect. You saw chip blocks, you saw a lot of screens running back screens, speed screens, things of that nature. And when you had that implemented, which the Falcons had but weren't very efficient with last year, when you see things like that, it makes Jake Matthews feel more at home. Hey, I don't have to block, you know, Julius Peppers for lack of a better name right now on third down. I just don't, right? I'm going to be able to have a Puke Nakua, Charlie Warner, you know, style of body chip on the way out and not leave me exposed all the time. And then you had play action on the top of that, which Matthew Stafford was very good out of year ago. So it's very intriguing. You know who else is on this list that might affect the Falcons this season and it's a quarterback from the NFC South. And yeah, Bucky Brooks has Bryce Young on this list of younger guys that to possibly break out this year. And he said in disappointing rookie season, spurred a mass exodus from Young's bandwagon, all the change that they have. That's what he's talking about in Carolina. And he said, but I believe last year's number one overall pick can bounce back under new head coach Dave Canales. And he cited Canales's experience with Baker Mayfield down in Tampa. I know that Baker Mayfield sung his praises when I had their game just about the connection that they had down there and being able to kind of put Baker's career kind of back together. Yeah, I'm kind of curious to see if he has a Trevor Lawrence type season two as in, I'm not saying that Frank Wright was Urban Meyer. But that offense was a mess. It was a debacle. Bryce Young was set up to fell last year to me from the get-go. So I wonder if he can kind of get it together and start to slowly come, you know, put his career back together. Kind of like Trevor Lawrence did after that rookie year debacle with Urban Meyer. When we come back, let's stick with the NFL. We are going in the huddle. It doesn't matter what happened last year, which coach had that to say. Was it a playoff team? Perhaps we'll discuss next on the other side on the morning shift on Sports Radio 99 the game.

We are going in the huddle, but before we completely get there, let's go back to this list that we were talking about. Bucky Brooks for NFL.com put out an NFL all breakout team on offense. And we're talking about Bryce Young. And so he does have him as quarterback on this list. And again, he said a disappointing rookie season spurred by a mass exodus from Young's bandwagon, again, citing all the changes in turnover in Carolina. But he said, I believe last year's number one overall pick can bounce back under Newhead coach Dave Canales and the quarterback guru, who just helped Baker Mayfield. I mean, I hope he does. I was a huge, obviously, huge fan of Bryce Young when he was in college and watching him. And I immediately, when, you know, the marriage to him and Frank Reich, watching that kind of unfold and be a part of, oh, you know, this guy's dealt with these, watching what Frank Reich did with Matt Ryan and Indianapolis. I was like, dude, he fed this guy to the wolves and Matt Ryan didn't stand a chance. And for that reason, leading in the last year, I'm looking at kind of the marriage with him and Bryce Young and I'm going, this ain't going to be good. And obviously, you get a peek at them week one last year. And it was very clear what the game plan was in Bryce Young's ear was don't go lose the game. There was, it was unbelievable how many throws throughout the second half of week one last year, watching that in person where Bryce Young's like, well, it's not there. I'm just going to air melod out of bounds. And I can't tell you how deflating that can be for a young quarterback. And I'm not saying that's a bad, you don't want to force it. But if you're just telling the guy, hey, if it's not there, throw it out of bounds, then we're really not letting the guy play. And that's not what Bryce Young was good at. I am very, very curious to see what Dave Canals can do with him and kind of unleashing the, the gunslinger mentality that led to Bryce Young's Heisman Trophy at a certain point in college. So I don't know, I don't know what the end goal is over there in Carolina, but I think it's going to be a fun marriage. And look, he's not the only one on this list either. I'm looking at Peter Skoronski, Peter Skoronski, the first round picket guard, the top 10 picket guard up in Nashville last year, loved the marriage of him and Vable. But you're going to get Brian Callahan. And along with that, you get Bill Callahan, the legendary father of his that will be as part of that building as well. And then we'll coach off into line. So there's a number of players really up and down this list that I think you can be excited about if they're on your team. And, you know, for that reason, obviously I'll have my eyes on Bergeron and Hope and he succeeds in Zach Robinson's offense. Yeah, and you know, the whole bright shit. One quick note on the brush. Frank Wright is getting is going to get most of the blame because then today you're only going to remember Frank Wright was the coach. But let's not forget the debacle of the ownership group that they is is up there right now with. What's our blood? Tepper up there and how he had spies on the coaching staff and remember he he made Frank Wright take give up play calling at one point. And then Wright takes it back. I mean, it was just it's just some mess up there. Hopefully Dave Canalis is part of his agreement to coach that team for Bryce Young's sake. Yeah. Was Hey, keep your hand at the cookie jar. You run the ownership thing and you just need to stay him. I'll run the football part. All right. Stay out of it because, you know, by me for as a Falcon fan, I don't really care either way, but as a big David, but as a as a as a guy that like Bryce showing out in college and I heard a lot of good things about him for his sake. Well, I just pulled back up my notes from our conversation with Baker when I had the Panthers bucks last season and bakers that this about Dave Canalis, he said he's given me the freedom trusting our guys to be able to handle that as well. So I think that's a huge word there. Basically, and in the keys to the card, I know Baker obviously had more experience than Bryce did and at the NFL level coming into this, but still he had built that trust with Canalis fairly quickly. And so the word freedom is huge, especially when we're talking about a quarterback. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm kind of alluding to. You go and give him a lesson still a wide receiver court and basically say if it's not there, we're going to throw it away. And it's like, what did you what did you think it was going to look like last year? Would that be in the message throughout the first 15 weeks of the season? Let's go in the huddle. It's time to huddle up! Bring it in cold! Bring it in cold! The latest NFL news, rumors, reports and happening with in the huddle brought to you by the Good Feed Store premium arts supports. Learn more at Good Feed.com on The Morning Shift. Well, the Houston Texans, yeah, they surprised a lot of people last year. They had what the NFL offensive rookie of the year in... or not Bryce Young. Wow, CJ Stroud. I got to see at a game last year during this season. And Coach D'Amico Ryan's basically was saying it doesn't matter what happened last year. And if you remember, because everyone likes to talk about it because it surprised so many people, they did make it into the playoffs. But he doesn't care about that, right? It's all about going forward now. But that certainly is something that they can build off of. But again, it doesn't matter. I think all three of us sitting around this table can understand the fact that this is a "what have you done for me lately?" leak. Is it not? I mean, this is one of those things where D'Amico better understand that it's all about what you know. Ask guys like Doug Peterson. Ask guys like Nick Siriani, who was the bell of the ball middle of the season last year. And at the end of the year, you wonder if he was getting fired. And I'm talking about half a season that thing flipped on its head. So I think D'Amico Ryan understands that he's the consummate professional. Everybody in the world, it seems like is rooting for him. And so I think it's nice that he understands that. Yeah, he did talk with NFL Networks, Rhett Lewis at the Senior Bowl Hall of Fame ceremony. That happened over the weekend. And so he said the most exciting thing, what I love about the NFL is it doesn't matter what happened last year. And he said, you got to hit that reset button. You start back from ground zero. And I love that going back to our day one fundamentals installs and seeing guys truly grow and seeing how far we can get, you know, in this game. So yeah, it is hard to have stay hungry. And it's not just about, well, you know, people can say, well, you've won a playoff game. And I'm sorry, especially when you get it in the first year. Yeah. And people say, well, you've only won a playoff game. So how can how are you not hungry? But it's more about continuing to elevate your game? You know, he he was so good last year. And now he's got a veteran receiver too, who, let's be fair, doesn't want the ball, but demands the ball. And when he doesn't get it, he lets you know in the middle of games. And I'm not saying that Stefan Diggs isn't a team player, but I'm saying is he's got a reputation. Did it Minnesota? He did it in Buffalo. Now, that said, it might even make things easier to a certain extent for CJ Stroud. If Stefan Diggs is getting attention from defenders, and he's able to, you know, basically open things up for other guys like, you know, Nico and stuff. So that's the hard part for me is the staying hungry on a personal level to continue to do all the things you did in year one and elevate that in year two. And sorry, one quick thing just in getting to be around them at practice and having coach Ryan's come up to us and talk to us while practices going on. You don't get that experience too much when you're going around doing games every weekend where the coach is just like, whatever I want to talk to you about your family life and all this kind of stuff. But it is kind of different down there. There's a real emphasis on family. Maybe this is the right spot for Stefan Diggs. We'll see if he can thrive. Right, right coach for sure. Yeah. The NFL's top 10 offenses in 2024. 49ers Chiefs headline this prediction here on NFL.com. So you want me to read the rest of the list? It has the 49ers at one tied for a second, the Ravens, the Dolphins at four, the Cowboys, five, the Lions, six, the Bills, seven, the Eagles, eight, the Rams, nine, the Saints, and 10, the Cleveland Rams. Nine and 10. What did I miss? Well, not in 10. I'm fine with 10. Well, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm not. You know, you know, you know why I'm not. First off, I'm not fine with 10 because did they have a top 10 offense when Deshawn Watson went down? Because I don't necessarily think they did. They finished the year on a strong note for a team that was using a four string quarter. Yes, that's what I would say. I agree. But Deshawn Watson in particular has shown me nothing. That's fair. Nothing. That's fair. Since he's came back. Now, nine, I mean, what the hell is that? What what what and what world of the Saints at nine right now? Did Sean Payton and Drew Brees come back? Yeah, what are we talking about? Is this is this rookie or second year Alvin Kamara? No, I don't I don't I don't know what that is. Most everybody else. I really don't have a problem with the Ravens. Uh, no, no problem. The Cowboys are at four. I hope CD Lam shows up for training camp. By the way, this is Gennaro Felicis list that he accumulated on NFL.com. Now I got questions together. See of questions. Well, did he throw a couple of teams on the wall and they just stuck? They didn't just slide down it because that they're that's like your questions are nine and 10. Yeah, I'm good with 10. I nine to me is just like that's completely random for the Saints to be there at nine. Um, I don't I'm not necessarily gonna say I totally agree with that. Just from the standpoint of you had it you had Joe Flacco come in last year and now you're inserting a and I mean, yes, Sean Watson has had experience with some of the guys on that roster before, but you're now inserting a totally different quarterback in from Flacco and you're the top three defense in the league that helped elevate that offense and we have seen defenses elevate offenses before. So interesting. Well, you guys can send your requests or you could tweet at him, Bo. You can angry tweet if you feel inclined. No, I'm not angry. I mean, I'm not angry. I just got a lot to say. You just got a lot to say. Okay. In a short week to do it. When we come back, we will get to that U.S. Men's National team game last night. It was not pretty. And we've also got a mic. It's top five Tuesday. And I'm just telling y'all both top five songs. He was singing in his car when he turned 16 in honor of his birthday last week. And I got to tell you, I was laughing out loud putting this list together this morning. We'll hit that on the other side. That's going on on top five Tuesday on Mike up. It's the morning shift on sports radio, 92 on the game. When was this day day? Why can't I was this was when was this song? When did it come out? I got double check the year, but it wasn't. Yeah, this is probably 2002 or three. P.D. Pablo. Yeah. This has got to be at time frame. That was probably still after I got my license then. I'm just thinking about what could have been on that list that I got. I would have got my license in '03. Maybe I'll do my own list next. Forgot about Drake. Forgot about Drake was 2000. Yeah, it was on the list last week. It was an honorable mention. That was definitely a song of me and this we had a finished goalkeeper and and soccer. We had roll up to this song at practice. Oh, before we get to Mike, USA soccer, the United States Men's national team is now eliminated from Copa America after a one to nothing defeat at the hands of don't you guys come. This is how they say it. Uruguay. So that's not what you said a minute ago. Yeah. Uruguay. What did they say before? I got to get this down before the election. What did I say? Uruguay. What did I say? Uruguay. No, a minute ago you said it's Uruguay and I was like, that's going to be tough. Well, you want to say Uruguay, but that's not what you're supposed to say. It's going to be tough. And I sound a real country and I'm dealing. Yeah. So yeah, I remember that when you're making fun of me in Paul and County. You know what? Because you tripped me up looking at you made me want to go into a country home sort of dialect. Just your just your presence. Look, I know that you're going to you might cringe when I say this, but I'm not sure how much longer the US men's soccer team can continue down the path with the leadership in place. That's talking about per halter the coach. Yeah, it's every main website, sports website that you can find this morning. And I'm talking about the athletic ESPN, CBS, sports, whatever you want to call it, every single one, the headline read, it's time for the United States men national team to move on from Greg Berhalter. And it is. This is as ugly as it gets when you look at the opportunity they had in front of them hosting a tournament where they were favored and what should have been a shoe in group to make it to the quarter finals at least. And yet you there were so many missteps and everything that happened for the last couple of matches for them that I don't know how you kind of stick with that man. Yeah, and I think there's a lot of there's talent and there's their talent that are that are that's young talent and to not sustain energy. I'm still this is most talented roster and then national team history. Well, it probably is. I mean, maybe, you know, not all is is lost for this team, right? I mean, you said the talent's there. It just hasn't really panned out. Day day, are you good for me? Well, if it hasn't panned out, you look towards you look when you have talented rosters and they underachieve the first question always goes towards leadership and Berhalter has been there five or six years now and nothing has been accomplished, essentially. And looks like we're ready for that sound now. So let's listen to Berhalter. Whether or not is the team doomed? In my opinion, it's not something you say, okay, you know, this this program's doomed. It's not that it's not the case at all. It's it was a poor performance. We didn't get the results that we expected and we need to get better. Let me let me ask you all this to anybody that was watching really closely last night was kind of all over the socials. You needed the result panomol against Bolivia to stay a lot tighter than it ended up being. Yeah, right. Did you guys see the video right before your guys scores on the set piece where Berhalter's looking out and he's saying it's one to one. Basically, the game has been tied to other games or paying attention to has been tied. In that moment, you guys tell me, do you want to know anything about the other game that's going on? Because I do not. I personally am like, dude, let's control, we control. I don't want to know anything about what's going on between Panama and Bolivia at this point. Let me worry about Uruguay right here in front of me and see if we can beat this team first. I think to me, you have to know the make up of the entirety and the most important players on your roster when you do something like that. Because I'm different. I want to know. It affects. I like having that feeling that my back is against the wall kind of thing. I don't know why it's always been something I feel like I've done better at. But you have to be very careful when you do those things and you have to know the makeup of the team. I'm not sure if that is something that he did there or if that's just who he is. So it's hard for me to answer that. But this team clearly didn't respond. So maybe the game is over. Maybe tell me the result. But in the middle of the game, who cares? Who cares what the current score is in the 60th minute or whatever it is? You know what I mean? Well, I think it maybe sent pushes urgency. But if you don't have urgency in that game already, knowing what you had to do coming in there and essentially get a win to move, then there's a lot more issues with this team than just Barhalter. Yeah. All right, well, speaking of having issues, let's go ahead and hit this mic toe. It's time to rant. It's time to rage. It's time for mic up on the morning shift. Top five Tuesday, top five songs that Squid Billy was probably singing at the top of his lungs as he got his driver's license and drove that first car around town. What were you driving up there in Dallas, Georgia? First car. Well, my first car that was actually mine was a 91-50 Mustang. Okay. What color? It was black. Foxy ones. Yeah, Fox body. But when I first got my license, I was driving a combination between a 93 GT-50, which was my mom's, and then a 66 Mustang, which was supposed to be my sisters, but she never really drove it. So I drove it, but I got the 91 later on in the year after I got my driver's license. So yeah, I drove my stings around then. All right, well, look, we're going to have to start this list and get through it quick. And here's what I'll say about this first one, four-day day gets to it. I don't know if he was singing the stop of his lungs, but I guarantee you he had a crush on this one. Number five. Okay, so you're a rocket scientist. Squid Billy and his boxy Mustang was available. Now when you fight this for the ladies, please, could you pull up with your arm hanging out the window? No, but I would watch this video with my mouth open. All right, we got to go kind of quick here, running behind on time. This one right here, I know that you're going to you're going to absolutely deny this next song. All right, and that's fine. But I think the people that know you and the people that know you well, and at least know your music tastes, are going to lean into the fact that you were definitely probably singing number four. Number four. No, I didn't, I didn't, I think this is a, this is like a parody of what I was listening to. No, but this video came on TRL like constantly. So I knew the words, I was like, ah, can this song stop playing? All right, and then listen, when do you get serious with the list? Okay, maybe right here. All right, so you're driving that boxy Mustang up around in Dallas, Georgia. But when you had to head into town, and you wanted the people to know what you were listening to and what you were feeling when I was going down business six, number three was probably number three. Yeah, we definitely had that. So good. So, so good right now. I'm just, I'm just a picture. Well, I'm, I need to come with a spiky hair gel. My buddy had your hair. Well, me, I'm, me, my best friend, I have been with driver and all the time. And we both were switching here to that single, single cab, 1500 white Chevrolet, we had the windows down. That's normally when we get it, what, what? Well, Tiff, I'm glad you brought up the spiky hair with maybe the blonde tips, because that has a lot to do with number two. Number two. Did you even try? Yeah, why don't you have this on mind? Like I asked you why. Because it's two different warriors, two different years. This is a 1999 song. He's not bumping back. No, he only, he only saw him. He definitely did. No, the only Backstreet's voice song I ever bumped was uh, Backstreet's Back. Yeah. All right. Bomp, bomp, bomp. All right. Well, also speaking of frosted tips and a little bit of spiky hair, you might deny this one as well, but this one is sitting at number one on my list for sure. Number one. [MUSIC] I don't think he, I believe him. Okay. Okay. Had the people. Had you had. You're trying to hold an image up right now. No, I believe him. You, you miss on my, you missed not horribly on my list, but you did miss. Tiff, I can't believe you're buying this. This man was singing Backstreet Boys in his boxy most likely. I don't know why, you think his bravado would not allow for it? What are we talking about? No, bravado, I don't know if, that's my point. That's my point. That's my point. This man was not singing Backstreet Boys. He was singing at the top of his lungs. What do you think, Bo? You trying to get him to pull up something else? Well, we had some songs I told him, that told him that, uh, that I would think, but hey, an older sister. I mean, come on. Like, it's, this was sad. Had you had this song as one of yours? Now we're talking. Is that in 1999? 1999. It's back that thing up. We're also back that. He's going on a tour. I thought I saw, I, I let me go. Hold on. Let me pull this up. This man said Kuvi? No, no, no, wait, am I? I missed that. Now that, this song, he's trying to upholing him. This song is definitely on top five songs that Squid Bill was bumping to in 1999 when he got that driver's. Yeah. Yeah. Juvenile announced a, um, is this, are these credible sources? Let's see. Yeah. Announces a back that, you know what up 25th anniversary. Oh, I love it. See, um, also, you know, you could have had like, I'm just confused on how you don't, looking at me, caught in a county. You don't have, I see through you. You don't have this song on there. Maybe. I did it for the Nookie, man. All right. We're going to break. How did you not have this? Tell me to go back with the wake up call. Maybe you want to call out Mike for Bose. List four, four, seven, two, six, oh, nine, two, nine. Stay with us here on the morning shift on sports radio night tonight at game. [inaudible] When was this day day? Why can't I was, this was when was this song? When did it come out? Oh, I got double check the year, but it was. This is thousands. Yeah, this is probably 2002 or three. Petey Pablo. Yeah. This has got to be that timeframe. That was probably still after I got my license then. I'm just thinking about what could have been on that list that I got. I would have got my license in '03. Maybe I'll do my own list next. Forget about Drake. Forget about Dre was 2000. Yeah, I was on the list last week. It was an honorable mention. That was definitely a song of me and, uh, this, uh, we had a, um, finished goalkeeper and, and soccer, we had roll up to this song at practice. Oh, before we get some, like, uh, USA, uh, soccer, the United States men's national team is now eliminated from Copa America after a one to nothing defeat at the hands of don't you guys come. This is how they say it. Uruguay. So that's not what you said a minute ago. Yeah. Uruguay. What did I say before? I got to get this down before the election. You're going to say what did I say? You're going. No, it's a minute ago. You said it's Uruguay. And I was like, uh, that's going to be tough. When you want to say Uruguay, but that's not what you're supposed to say. You're, and I sound a real country and I do. Yeah. So, um, yeah, remember that when you're making fun of me and Paul and County. Uh, you know what? Because you tripped me up. Looking at you made me want to go into a country, um, sort of dialect. Just your, just your presence. Look, I know that you're going to, you might cringe when I say this, but I'm not sure how much longer the U S men's soccer team can continue down the path with the leadership in place. That's talking about per halter, the coach. Yeah. It's every main website, sports website that you can find this morning. And I'm talking about the athletic ESPN, CBS boards, whatever you want to call it, every single one, the headline read, it's time for the United States men national team to move on from Greg Berhalter. And it is. This is as ugly as it gets. When you look at the opportunity they had in front of them hosting a tournament where they were favored and what should have been a shoe in group to make it to the quarterfinals, at least. Uh, and yet you, there was so many missteps and everything that happened for the last couple of matches for them that I don't know how, uh, you kind of stick with that man. Yeah. And I think there's a lot of, there's talent and there's, there are talent that are, that are, that's young talent and, and to not sustain energy. There's almost all this is the most talented roster in men national team history. Well, it probably is. I mean, maybe, you know, not all is, is lost for this team, right? I mean, you said the talent's there. It just hasn't really panned out. Uh, data, are you good for me? Well, if it hasn't panned out, you look towards, you look, when you have talented rosters and they underachieve, the first question always goes towards leadership. And Burr halter's been there five or six years now. And, uh, nothing has been accomplished, essentially. And looks like we're ready for that sound now. So let's listen to burl halter. Uh, whether or not it is the team doomed. In my opinion, it's not something you say, okay, you know, this, this program's doomed. It's not that it's not the case at all. It's, it was a poor performance. We didn't get the results that we expected and we need to get better. Let me, let me ask you all this too. Anybody that was watching really closely last night was kind of all over the socials. You needed the result, Panama against Bolivia to stay a lot tighter than it ended up being, right? Did you guys see the video right before your guys scores on the set piece where Burr halter's looking out and he's saying it's one to one. Basically, the game has been tied. The other game or paying attention to has been tied in that moment. You guys tell me, do you want to know anything about the other game that's going on? Because I do not. I personally am like, dude, let's control. We control. I don't want to know anything about what's going on between Panama and Bolivia at this point. Let me worry about your way right here in front of me and see if we can beat this team first. I think to me, you have to know the makeup of the entirety and the most important players on your roster when you do something like that. Because I'm different. I want to know. I like having that feeling that my back is against the wall kind of thing. I don't know why it's always been something I feel like I've done better at. But you have to be very careful when you do those things and you have to know the makeup of the team. I'm not sure if that is something that he did there or if that's just who he is. So it's hard for me to answer that. But this team clearly didn't respond. So maybe what the game is over. Okay. Tell me maybe tell me the result. But in the middle of the game, who cares? Who cares what the current score is in the 60th minute or whatever it is. You know what I mean? That's maybe sent pushes urgency. But if you don't have urgency in that game already, knowing what you had to do coming in there and essentially get a win that move, then there's a lot more issues with this team than just Barhalter. Yeah. All right. Well, speaking of having issues, let's go ahead and hit this mic. It's time to rant. It's time to rage. It's time for miked up on the morning shift.

This one right here, I know that you're going to you're going to absolutely deny this next song. All right. And that's fine. But I think the people that know you and the people that know you well, and at least know your music tastes, are going to lean into the fact that you were definitely probably singing number four. Number four. [Music] You missed on both of them. No, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I think this is a, this is like a parody of what I was listening to. No, no, but this video came on TRL like constantly. So I knew the words I was like, ah, can this song stop playing? All right, and then listen. When do you get serious with the list? Okay, maybe right here. All right, so you're driving that boxy Mustang up around in Dallas, Georgia. But when you had to head into town and you wanted the people to know what you were listening to and what you were feeling when I was going to have business sex. Number three was probably number three. Yeah, we definitely had that point. Oh my god, so good. So, so good right now. I'm just, I'm just picturing Bo, what the, how'd it go? My buddy had your hair. Well, me and, me and my best friend Evan were driving around all the time and we both were switching here to that single, single cab, 1500 white Chevrolet. We had the windows down.

You, you miss on my, you missed not horribly on my list, but you did miss him. I can't believe you're buying this. This man was singing Backstreet boys in his boxy most likely. I don't know why you think his bravado would not allow for it? What are we talking about? No, bravado and bio. I don't know. I don't know. That's my point. That's my point.
