We went to a caps game with them. We watched Nick Dow get into a fist fight right in front of our eyes. It's a really good time. I forgot about the doubter ham throwing. I'll never forget about that fight. That was right. That was nuts. Nick Jensen got laid out and just about killed. And so doubters buddies just said, he was on the ice and you can hear the somebody. Yeah. That was a good time. But go check them out kmlawyers.com. It is time for our Beltway Blitz, the NFL, the commanders on decking in the hole on a football day here on G and D. Let's start though with the latest on the diamond with the nationals. The long time voice of the nationals. In fact, since day one in the nation's capital, our guy Charlie slows Charlie Mackenzie Gore looked like an ace last night, one hit over six innings. He had the good stuff going. Yeah, that three starts in a row. So after making the adjustment of the arm slot, his command has been really good. His stuff has been good. It's shaming didn't get a better result, but six innings, one run, one hit, nine strikeouts in a walk. You'd almost take that every time out. What's the difference when it's going good for him versus when it's not, Charlie? Well, I mean, he was very efficient pitch count, you know, earlier in the year when he struggles, you know, walks were up. I think he lost confidence. He just couldn't figure it out. Now he's also throwing a change up more that's made a big difference just when you add that to his big fastball and his breaking ball. And really haters aren't figuring it out. He's been very effective. And, you know, I think, you know, you look at what Patrick Corbin's done pitching right before him. Same thing using a change up more and a slower curve ball. And that's the difference when you are not as predictable and you can command those pitches, you can have success. And both of them are doing that right now. CJ Abrams has really scuffled hitting a little over one 60 since early July when he became an all star. I don't think he's in as bad of a funk necessarily as he was at one point early in the year where he was just swinging at everything, but he's closer to that than doing the right things at the plate. What do you see him? Yeah, I mean, he just hasn't been able to figure it out and get on any kind of consistent role. We thought, you know, a week or so ago, we put a few hits together. We thought we might see him come out of it. He's struggling against left handed pitches, pitchers. And, you know, he's been indecisive. A lot of check swings, weak contact. And so he's not in there tonight. They're facing a, you know, kind of a soft tossing left hand or a belly falter. And so nothing new yet is going to get other start against the left handed pitcher and the bat ninth in the order. And, you know, not seems had a couple of good games to a game. Last game, he started, drove in his first run. And, you know, you don't lose anything defensively with him out there. Maybe you've been gained with the great range of terrific arm that he has. He's fun to watch. I've been pretty impressed. The numbers aren't unbelievable. It's a really short small sample here for for Triparo. But just like his presence at the play trial, it looks heterish to me. I like the passes that he takes and, you know, sort of spitting on some close things. They may have found something here with this guy in the lineup. I don't know if he's a first division, you know, middle of the order bat or something like that. But he seems to look the part here. What are your thoughts? Well, most likely a designated hitter, you know, if you are feeling your best defensive team and the National League power from the DH spot, they have 12 home runs combined for anyone who's been the DH this year. And, you know, it's by nature, the name of a designated hitter. You hope you get more power than that. And he swings big. He doesn't get cheated on swings. He had 19 home runs at AAA, Reed Owen, and four after he came over to Rochester, a couple now in the big league. So, you know, he's a potential power bat that they're looking at to see what you have. If you think you can be on your big league team for next year after acquiring him in the trade for Joe Flora from Arizona, a couple of doubles for James Wood. Going back to the win in the Marlin series. He's been so clutch with runners in scoring position. RBI pace at one point going into the week was well over 100 for him doing that on a bad team that doesn't score a lot. It's pretty stunning for a young guy. What have you made of his approach when he's got a chance to deliver runs? Well, he's just looking for a pitch you can drive. That was a big double in last night's game in a three run eighth inning that gave them the lead. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold it eventually lost the game in 10 innings. But you like what you saw. He doesn't try to do too much. Sometimes you're watching them. You think maybe go too patient and you wish he'd take more hacks. But, you know, he's trying to only swing at pitches that are strikes and not chasing for a very young player at 21 years old. You know, that's really incredible to watch. I like Jose Tenna. I think I really like him, Charlie. He's the kind of guy that feels, you know, can do a little something of everything. Not maybe thriving in any one way. He's not great defensively. He doesn't have a ton of power. But it's a little bit of a Swiss Army knife type action. I think he's got a place here. He's got a short swing and looking at the ball up the middle. So like what I've seen him here at the plate right now, he's over his last 13. But, you know, right now he's been in there every day against righties and lefties. So he's held his own third base is a relatively new position for him. So we've seen some struggles there on feeling some balls and definitely, you know, with some throws that he's bounced. When Joey Gallo's there, he helps save some throws. Anybody else playing over there, you really got to make a good throw. So, you know, that's where they've suffered a little bit. You know, we got spoiled when Lipscomb was there at third. He plays gold glove caliber defense. And unfortunately, he didn't hit enough to stay in the big league. So we'll see. I mean, everybody still thinks Brady House is the third base for the future. What they do with Jose Tano, who would mostly been a second baseman in his career in the minor league so far. So it remains to be seen where he will end up playing if he has a regular spot because, you know, Garcia seems to have tranched himself at second base. So where his position is, who knows, but you finding yourself with more depth in your organization. Tana can swing it for sure. House, by the way, 19 home runs, leads all of the nets, top prospects down in the minor leagues this year. Charlie, before we let you go, who's your NFL team? You watch any football in the fall? I watch a, you know, a bunch of different teams that grew up in New York. This is way before you guys. This is when your local team's home games were all blacked out. Didn't even matter if they sold out. That was before the NFL changed that role. So you only saw your home team a few games a year back when it was 14 games. You saw seven games if you didn't go to a game. So you ended up seeing a lot of NFC West games in New York, the late games, because those were the games you were getting. So I was watching the LA Rams when they had Roman Gabriel as their quarterback in the early to mid 70s. I actually became an LA Rams fan because of that. Oh, look at you would not have had that in the office pool. By the way, that makes no sense. I don't even know what the strategies are different, man. That is strange. Charlie, thank you. We appreciate you. You got it. Be good. Let's talk football and bring on our guy, Mike Jones. Covers the National Football League for the athletic. We'll keep the blitz moving. Mike, who do you got tonight? Chiefs hosting the Ravens as we kick this NFL season off? I've got the Chiefs, man. I think it's going to be another really close game, but I feel like the Chiefs are going to come out of here, you know, they're going to try to start their three P quest with authority to win. And, you know, obviously two really good teams. They've made changes in the off season to further strengthen them. But I think the Chiefs pull this one out again. Are people overlooking the Ravens? Because that division is so good and, you know, there's all this talk about burrow being back and like it's feels boring, but that's kind of what they are. They're boring. They're always really good. Are people looking past them a little bit? I don't think you're looking past them. Every time I ask people, okay, like, who is the threat to the Chiefs? Every team personnel guy or coach that I asked mentioned to the Ravens is one of those teams. But it might just take a little bit of time for them. They've got, you know, a new defense coordinator. They've got a few new pieces on the back end of their defense. Obviously, they've got Derek Henry, which should help eat some pressure on Lamar Jackson. They've got some changes on their offensive line. So, you know, I think that those changes will pay off for them, and they'll be more balanced and more well-rounded. Maybe he's a little pressure on Lamar. I think he could have a little bit of a better season passing as he's got another year in this offense. And their wide receivers, particularly Zay Flowers, has another year of experience under his belt. So I don't think they're being overlooked by anybody in the league. How about some Friday night lights in Brazil? How about the Packers and the Eagles? What do you think tomorrow? You know, I am keep going back and forth on that game. I think, though, that maybe we're going to see the Packers pull that one out. Obviously, the travel is a big factor for both of those teams, long flights and everything. But there's a little bit more continuity with the Packers. They're hoping to build off of that hot streak they finished the season on while the Eagles have a new offensive coordinator, new defense coordinator, you know, changes in their secondary. So again, you can never really totally pass judgment on what a team is. So about four games into the season, but it just might take a little bit for them to work out some tinks there. And so I'm going to go back. You alluded to this earlier, Mike, but who in your mind is the biggest threat to the Chiefs and the three feet in the AFC? In AFC, I think it's between the Ravens and the Bengals. I think both of those teams, obviously, look, if the Ravens had a stuck with their bread and butter, they might have won that AFC Championship game. They only attempted eight Russian plays. They turned the ball over. So they're built and they're built better this year to be able to go toe to toe. The Bengals are built to go toe to toe. They've got some improvements on defense as well. And you know, they got to get Lamar. I mean, Jamar Chase taken care of, but I think those are the two teams that the Chiefs have to be worried about the most. I just saw that Russell Wilson was dealing with a bit of a calf issue again today. Is there any risk that he wouldn't play against the Falcons on Sunday? Well, we got to see how much, you know, I don't know right now. We don't know exactly if it's just for caution because there's a little sore and they want them ready. I kind of wouldn't be surprised if this is something that's a little bit of a setback look. He's, you know, an aging quarterback. They would like to have him as their starter, but you never know. Some of those nagging injuries keep popping up for older guys and they're hard to recover from. And so we'll see. We might see Justin Fields up there. Where are you on the Rams this season? I think they'll be improved. I don't know as far as the durability of Matthew Stafford. He's had some injuries in recent years and we don't know what his health will be like. But if they can stay healthy, I think they're back in the picture. I'm not saying they're Super Bowl favorites or anything like that. But I think that they are kind of retooled a little bit on the fly and they should be better than what they were last year. They kind of got that ugly season out of the way. And then last year they took steps forward. I think they'll take some more steps forward this year. Are you a Jets believer or are they pretenders? They're pretenders. They're a circus. There's always something that's going wrong. They're you just feel like they're like a ticking time bomb. I'm not convinced that Aaron Rodgers will stay healthy this whole year. They did address they tried to address some weaknesses on the offensive line. They did it with aging guys. So we'll see if they can stay healthy. They don't have their top pass pressure that they acquired via trade because he wants more money. So you just feel like this thing it looks good. It sounds good. But it's just not really going to come through for them. Jonesy good catching up buddy. Enjoy the start of the season. All right. Thanks guys. See bud. Let's keep the blitz going. Football combo gets localized now with our guy Earl Forcy who I saw make the announcement earlier today that he is back for game days on one oh six seven the fan. So as you were making your way if you're going early the tailgate over to the Fed and Landover Maryland you will hear Earl Forcy early on Sundays nine a.m. to eleven a.m. burgundy and gold game day on one oh six seven the fan or I've told you this before your dulcid pipes bro that's football to me. That's a fall autumn Sunday getting me ready for the then red skins and Clinton Portis and LaVar Arrington. I'm fired up. Let's do this thing boy. That goes back huh. Thank you. I appreciate it. Look and I get a lot of good response from it. You know for someone who grew up here listening to Johnny Holiday do the old pregame one on WMAL and I go back to the you know the early 70 team. So a guy named Steve go Martin was doing the play by play back then. So it's kind of humbling because I've been doing this for a while. Look I was part of on the ground floor when the games move from MAL to TEM our early days on on Sports Talk 570 back then and then when we transition to WJFK it was part of it. So it's it's nice. I mean it's it's been a while. I appreciate all the support and you know that folks kind of embrace what I do which is you know talk football and love DC sports and specifically the commander. So yeah it's fun to be back and we'll we'll be at it again Sunday before you know it. Look this season I know there's no question. I'll get right to it. Eight different starting quarterbacks under the riverboat. So we're at what 35 starting quarterbacks now since 91 92 unbelievable. Do you know this eight starting quarterbacks in a row to start the season? That's a new NFL record. Good job Ron. Seven in a row. Indianapolis that streak for them ends this season. So it's going to be eight different starting quarterbacks for each season. You know going back to Kirk Cousins back in what was it 2017 and it's a list of you know some pretty average names. Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick who barely played. So just it's great to have it seems the answer to quarterback in DC will know for sure and I think not trying to put too much pressure on Jaden Daniels but let's go back to the the the other rookie 2012 RG three that coming out party in New Orleans for him. You kind of knew right away that that guy was special and you know he was until the knee injury was it was a fleeting moment there but had the big game. I'm not saying that he Jaden Daniels necessarily needs that but it would be nice if he hits a field throws for a couple of touchdowns they win a game you're like okay let's go and maybe that's going to happen this weekend. What's success look like to you this year? That's a great question. Does anybody really know success would be how about you know and we couldn't get past that this week. How about the week one without an off-the-field story huh let's let's okay we can try next year for that. Can we please can we please get rid of everything that had to do with the old regime please. I've been saying that for months and you still have problems with it just just clean house exterminate the place. I don't know what you have to do just just get rid of it. Anyway that would be nice that's not going to happen. What's success to any it would be you know feel good about the team. You know no none of these I don't think we're going to have any from the new people in place but none of these non football stories. You know what's a good story to start the year Sam Cosby and last year Countdown to kickoff you know it became a a Ron bashing final half of the season and I told my wife at one point because I do the show at home I said you know I kind of almost feel bad because I said this show and I look back I was like two hours I just basically bash Ron she's like you feel bad for I was like oh yeah you're right I forgot no I don't because it was from a football standpoint it was well deserved right he destroyed a lot what little was left of the team he left it in worst shape I mean much worse shape four years later than he found it and they stunk when he found it when he took over so and this regime obviously hated everybody that was existing they got rid of them everybody pretty much from the old regime as quick as they could but they love Sam how much do they love Sam Cosby he's a leftover he should be one of those guys it's Ron's mainly probably his only success story right couple of last year he said that yesterday in the press conference I go into Ron's office I'm gonna move you to guard okay it worked it unlocked something with that dude who's become kind of what you would hope and that Brandon Sheriff was and and really was until you know he left for Jacksonville he's Brandon Sheriff that wants to be here and you know he's you heard some of the presser I don't know how much you heard yesterday we'll play some Sunday morning but he's like you know this I don't feel like I've accomplished anything this to me and you know it caused me the paraphrase it makes me want to work harder in one year transitioning to guard he has become a top five guard in the NFL arguably a guy so that's a huge success story I'll give credit where credit's due and there's not much of it Ron you know they made that work and that's one of the draft picks I can't name a second one but that's one of them that they hit on and he's gonna be a foundational piece on this team and you know it's it's a good story to start the year and boy you need it with a young quarterback you've got a rookie at left tackle uh so you you better hope there's there's some stability there and probably Cosme is part of it and that's a good story to start the year and a good thing for him and the team that they recognized that even though he was a leftover that he's a big part of it and and again maybe that's one of the you know they talk about we want commanders they were talking about this Adam Peters and Dankwin maybe Cosme is one of those first steps hold over guys he is what they want in a commander and uh you know they they've got him locked up which is good 9 a.m. Sunday for all 4c there's a gleam you know there's a gleam there where else you wouldn't rather be them right here right now I know Danny's a gamer um I was a little late connecting today because I have recently and I mean in the last few days Danny discovered um mobile games on the iPad using a controller so I'm a big cod guy yeah I was just in I was just dropping in verdansk like the last hour or two on the iPad girl on the iPad you bluetooth the controller what do you use your right in the xbox what are you doing my my yeah no uh yeah honestly forget about the computer and the xbox and the ps5 now this is unbelievable no I mean what controller users yeah what do you use on the ps5 ps5 controller you know I could you could hook a ps5 control you know bluetooth controller to that and I was like well how about your ps5 controller he goes oh okay and he hooked it up you can change all the settings kind of like what I like different buttons like it is it is it's Bo Jackson and Tecmo Bowl is what it is wow I mean I'm dominating games and I shouldn't be and it's kind of a cheat code but I don't care yeah yeah you got a slight control you can't have the you know your y-axis the up goes up down goes down that's ridiculous that's hammertrucks it's it's it's an unbelievable game changer which I just found out about this week I may be a little late to the party but it's it's amazingly good and you know those games always are kind of they're not there's not a lot of stability sometimes there's a lot of getting kicked out none of it it's just beautiful it looks great it plays well and I'm american dudes all over the place it's wonderful I love it so Earl dust off that fat boy slim right here right now let's get this thing going dust off that Baltimore is a dirty ugly city whatever other sound clips you were playing and let's do this thing there's all four seed on our beltway blitz Grant and Danny with you on the fan the guy behind the documentary that followed Jaden Daniels around at LSU last year joins us at five speaking to Daniels let's talk about his rookie season next with Danny I'm grant this is the fan before we talk about the NILLSU documentary and Jaden Daniels as the star of the doc great access to him following him around all year I think we'll get good intel on the commander's new quarterback let's dive into Jaden Daniels rookie season what does Daniels have to do this year for you to feel like he's the guy at the end of 17 games could be statistics numbers I don't think it should be but maybe that's how you're going to do it could be what he looks like could be just staying healthy what's your answer to that at the end of this season 17 games from now what's it going to take for you to feel like Washington has their answer in Jaden Daniels and not to still be skeptical not to still need to see more not to go into next season as a maker break let's figure this out in 2025 we'll open up the phones on this 806361067 MGM national harbor listener lines 806361067 so the simple word for me is health but there's a lot that goes into that and here's what that entails that's sliding in the secondary when you've made the big game you're making the play and you've got a chance for a first down or whatever you get down you get out of harm's way it means you don't hold on to the ball to do that hero play like Sam howl was doing early on last season where he got crunched the knock even in week number one you with the place dead you throw it away it means you stay out of trouble as much as possible the hits are going to come it's the NFL you're going to be hit as the quarterback of a football team whether you're good bad or indifferent the great ones get hit the bad ones get hit more you avoid the unnecessary ones if he shows the ability to do that i think that's going to go an awfully long way to sort of believe that a huge amount of anxiety i have about him and his frame and the proclivity to take too many hits unnecessarily to me if he's able to get through this year without taking those extra ones that don't necessarily knock you out every time right you can you can take some of those bad hits and bounce right back up and be fine until you're not that's a huge thing for me it's about that process of him staying healthy so that's on my list but it's not at the top of my list i'll move that one to number three and we'll get to that in a second number one for jayden daniel's to prove to me this season over the next 18 weeks and 17 games that he's the guy i need him to prove that he can move in the pocket i need him to process and get the ball out i need him to not make life harder on washington's offensive line and this goes to the pressure sack percentage things that we talked about quite a bit in ad nauseum before the draft i need him to show that he's not going to turn pressures into sacks and that's not going to be a bugaboo the reason that was such a talking point that it became annoying to people especially those that were big ganels backers prior to the draft was because anybody who looked at the numbers saw this was an alarming rate and there are examples very rarely but there are examples of guys who have left those problems behind them in college and improved but it's rare more often than not if you have that issue in college you end up having that issue in the n_f_l_ so that's the first thing i'm going to be monitoring very closely the second thing is another thing that i had is a question mark coming out of l_s_u_ is he throwing well in the middle of the field executing the n_f_l_ passing concepts on inbreakers that i think are pertinent we didn't see that in college we saw like ninety five percent of the stuff you need to be able to do it quarterback done at l_s_u_ and at a really high level a special elite upper echelon all-time hyzeman hall of fame in college type level but there are a few things we didn't like those in breaking things middle of the field majoring in those fit in the ball into small windows i'll be monitoring that this year when he gets the opportunities to do that and then the third thing is the decision-making in the open field as it pertains to taking hits opting out of the pleading moments not putting himself in any more risk than he'll already be in with his frame being as slender as anybody at his height in in history basically at the position to go on to have a strong career because you already know danny you're going to get folded up at times in the pockets the league man you're going to get landed on by some giant has anyone seen that dude at the university of florida by the way who's like four hundred and sixty three pounds you mean the two guys that are masquerading is once a mile that's the biggest dude i've ever seen yeah like that guy landing on you will ruin your afternoon imagine just jadon daniels on his side and that guy falling on him that that's petrifying now he's not in the league yet he's at florida luckily but there are big dudes gilbert brown like dude that are just waiting to fall on you and break your collarbone so the pockets scary enough i need the decisions that he makes outside of the pocket to be made correctly so those are gonna be my things i'm tracking and if he can find me some wins in those categories i'll know he's the dude because the rest of it he's already proven he can do and now it's about coaching bringing it out this was booger mcfarland covers college and pro football for ESPN on the show yesterday we did an outstanding interview with boog this is what he had to say about daniels as a rookie anytime you start a rookie quarterback they're going to be ups and downs i think of all the rookie quarterbacks i think he is in um not maybe not the best position but i think he'll play the best i think he's demeanor his poise uh his maturity uh you know he's he's got some decent weapons up there as you guys know led by terry mcclorn um but overall i think he's going to bring a different uh different dynamic to that team and from everything that i can hear the leadership how guys are already following him i truly think the commanders are going to be pretty good i think there's a reason for reason for optimism in dc so the only thing i disagree with in booger's statement right there is the the weapon reign and the you know the all the excellence in the passing game mccorn yes there's a lot of uncertainty elsewhere i think they're they're trying to take things off as plate right my smash mouth a little bit run a little bit you know going short and try to get some yards after the catch a little bit but i don't know how prolific it's going to be but the rest of it i agree with the the positive sentimentality let's go to let's go to tony and fair facts on grant and danny tony the question is what is jadon daniel's have to accomplish in this rookie season for you to feel like he is the guy at the end of the year man you uh stole my thunder i put number one the intelligence keep myself in the game moves the slides not taking unnecessary hits and number two is game and clock management i know that you know that's a negative term to a lot of quarterback you know game management game management but it's very important if he's got delay of games he's not getting up to the line and then the third i was pretty simple he's got to hit the receivers that are open that are he's supposed to make make the throws you're supposed to make those three baby steps to me are like the only thing i'm really going to be focusing on with jadon daniel i love the last one there tony that's a really good answer make your layups if the really good quarterbacks in this league yeah there's going to be those special moments the spectacular wow play but the really good ones at a very high clip they hit their layups they don't they knock down bunnies it's such a good miss because you can't the two the three the five the seven-yard throws you can't miss on the easy stuff the other stuff so hard it's so difficult when you get the gift of hey here's an open guy who can maybe get you a handful more after the catch you got to take advantage of that and especially as a young quarterback yeah my little six-year-olds earn a play basketball you know what he wants to do is run as far away as possible half court shot three-point shot i'm like make a couple labs first you'll be averaging 15 a game in your league in in a minute or two it's a good point jb alexandra you're on grant and danny how are you doing pretty good guys start at the NFL regular season today having a pretty good drive home that's right let's do this man football baby so for jane daniels i have a more simplified version of what i'm looking for mine is just i want to see a three-to-one turnover ratio where i don't care how he gets the ball in the end zone run it throw it whatever but i want to see at least three scores to one turnover that's me so that he knows how to take care of the ball thanks guys is that your game manager that's the rookie caretaker not put a lot on his play that's what made griffin's first season so special to me absolutely the rookie rushing record there but the the only five turnovers or only five interceptions few fumbles that's gonna happen when you're carrying the ball as much as that and doing all the ball handling with all the play fakes read option and those kind of looks so that sort of level is pretty incredible griff was four-to-one touchdown the pick ratio we've seen dak cj shroud among others have that type of statistical first season protecting the football we'll get to your calls eight hundred six three six one oh six seventy one to hop in on the m gm national harbor listener lines what is jadon daniels have to do in this seventeen game eighteen week season to prove he's the guy top of the hour we'll talk to the documentarian who put together the film on daniels and lsu with all the access he had for the nyl collective documentary that he did last year and we'll continue to make our season predictions as we get closer to kickoff it is a football day the nfl gets going tonight you're listening to the fan and he's going to be a great player in the game and he's going to be a great player in the game. When you look at jane daniels and his adversities that he's overcome just like uh jaylin herse overcame adversity from uh getting sat at alabama to going to oklahoma to going on and being accorded back he is you know jane came from arizona state and no one you know everybody thought it was a third day pick going into last season and then he ended up being the number overall two but number two overall thick well deserved uh because of what he was able to accomplish so i'm sure they got a game plan in place but coaches get paid a lot of money to to figure out what they have to do to make sure this quarterback successful it is a football day on the fan and we do have an nfl game tonight so i'll apologize in advance for some skits and bits here but something very pressing has happened bomb show might be too strong bomb shells not too but it's something so there's been behind the scenes some sticky wicked situation happening where apparently clearly you you joined me here for a moment to clear this up because you're on the producer chat but jeff who produces the bemich and finley show has been very angry because he's alleging that somebody stole food of his out of the refrigerator yes so this was right after the bemich and finley show jeff was very angry because kind of running around after the show was wondering where his seafood salad was and now by his seafood salad i'm assuming this is part of the gigantic spread the biggest spread i've ever seen in the history of spreads that the junkies got this morning to kick off the nfl season so jeff took a pile of food and put it away for himself in the fridge to take home exactly yeah it was a side seafood salad that jeff then put it in the fridge and was expecting to take on to his mom actually and so so yeah and then around two oh two ck our boss sends an email out being like hey like if there's food in the fridge and he sent this out to the entire office if there's food in the fridge you should not be taking that and if you if you took the seafood salad then you should then return it to the refrigerator and then right after that jeff texar producers group chat and goes i also have tom our engineer looking at the cameras for me so whoever it was will get some words tomorrow or friday which is jeff's actually upset jeff is legit mad just super quick respectfully i believe the engineer working here at the radio station the cluster radio stations might have more important things to do than look over security footage for uh left over seafood salad from the junkies food drop from this morning and i would like to offer that but if i know jeff not according to him jeff's gonna want him to work on whatever this big controversy is so we're all wondering what happened with the pasta salad or whatever the hell it is the seafood salad and i will say there are some new techs into the group chat i mean it is tough it is really tough it's just really upset about it jeff is really upset it is so here's what's amazing these guys are trying to crack the case in the studio and in walks chris russell who's now joining us check him out on the one oh six seven the fan youtube camera i'm gonna spin it to you reenie as you're there is under the eyes of saran and we find out russell ate his seafood salad out of the refrigerator no it untrue i grabbed the tub of seafood salad which did not have his name on it in the fridge that was from a catered food drop from jumbo up crab cake company in mass is good product great product they brought us food remember when you stole all my crab cakes two weeks ago no yes it's not you stole all my crab cakes it's anyway wait a minute a restaurant brought in crab cakes for his show in our show is what he's referencing no it was from my show i'm sure and then they brought crab cakes over and gave them to us in the eights and who had took all of them and acted like there were none left and then eventually brought them back like 20 minutes later can we get to the point yeah there was a table with their food there was it right right hang on a second i did not eat it there was a tub of the seafood salad with the labeling for the restaurant jumbo lump crab cake okay no name on it no no tag no paper no nothing hey this is jeff's this is jeff's mama's you know whatever junkies do not eat nothing so i grabbed it i forgot i forgot that i brought in lunch i grabbed it i was gonna happen for lunch it was a catered food drop to the station not to jeff walker there is a table there are multiple tables here where the common area is it was delivered at like 8 30 in the morning you're not gonna leave seafood salad out until two in the afternoon danny i can't wrap my head around the logic that once it makes it into the fridge he's gonna pull it back out there is no law no rule that says if it's in the fridge as opposed to want to counter it's not fair game yes because there's it was not privately wrapped it was not put in a ziplock bag or aluminum foil or in a lunch bag or anything else it was not privately wrapped or or identified in any way shape or form if somebody doesn't want something to eat or eat and you label it you say this is great pulsons want on soup container danny there's never any common food there's never any shared food there's never as long as i work what do you call a food drop that is common shared in the refrigerator what it doesn't matter it doesn't matter respectfully matters a lot food is put in the refrigerator all the time from food drops that they're gonna eat no from food drops never yes strong it's in it's in the kitchen area it's out it's in that little common area of the little tiny table it's out if it's out fair game if it's out fair game if it's away you have to take a second order effect to go into somewhere remove it and then serve yourself should nippy should nippy labeled if it is put in the refrigerator which it has to be because it's got mayonnaise and shrimp and whatever you don't want that stuff sitting out for six hours totally no shouldn't it be put in the refrigerator jeff walker i work here he's got to go find a sharpie or some sort of label and some convenience him was working he probably assumed like i would have like danny would have and everyone else that works here as soon as it goes into the refrigerator it's off limit there is no law no rule no set of bylaws that says in the refrigerator versus out of the refrigerator i mean it's common part what does it look like if you if if we go to a restaurant for lunch and we and i put my leftovers in there are you just gonna go rip them out because they look tasty no because that's not a station food drop but if you open the fridge on a normal day and you just see food in there like it's not a station food drop but that's the distinguishing factor by the way ck sent out an email to everyone about not stealing people's food yeah and he's now on the hotline listening oh it's great that's awesome Chris i knew you were aware though i knew you were an alien i didn't know you were also a monster this is unbelievable that you would do this no this is ridiculous ck he's claiming that it's the same it's a food drop it's the same damn thing it's a food drop on the table outside the studio you can't keep this out for six hours the leftovers of a food drop go to the kitchen to want to table there this was neither one of those things you can't keep it out for six hours ck it wasn't chris it doesn't matter whether you can keep it out for six hours not it wasn't yours you took it should have been labeled do not eat this is jeff's this is whatever you think you got a little endorsement deal or whatever you're the crab picking and you're not chumbo love cakes dot com ck i think that's what's so amazing is if you've worked in radio for one hour but before you learn what you can and can't say yeah how to tease to break chris the first thing you learn is how food drops work and when the food comes there's a table it's a protocol it's all for grabs when to to your point occasionally it's been out on the table for a while it gets moved into the other table in the kitchen where anyone in the whole building can grab it i've never in my life have you you've worked in radio for almost 30 years have you ever heard of a common area of food in the refrigerator it's never ever ever been done no one has ever done what chris did and been walked around like he did the right thing it's unbelievable i put it back i did of course i did the right thing as soon as i was made aware i put it back i put it back in the refrigerator where was it it was in the refrigerator and then it was with me for five minutes and then i saw the the the note and everybody laughing like a bunch of stupid hyenas he he he he he he in the history of radio there's a rule i bet you if you open up the odyssey dc playbook they ain't nothing about refrigerator versus counter in there but until there is i don't want any blame talking about uh-huh all the cbt play book are you talking about what whatever rule book guidelines whatever debar from a few good men people eat lunch every day and there's no rule about it in the marines like we figure it out that's it's being a human being i love it we are the crazy people right i figured it out i was apparently wrong apparently apparently apparently and i put it back how how like so you how literally how long before i took even a spoon how long did you have i put a little pepper in it that said you added pepper yeah i thought i thought i thought i thought it was for everybody i'm sorry what so you thought it was for everyone yes still added pepper yes to the whole thing i put a package of pepper on the top of the seafood salad and then all of a sudden i saw the email oh my god oh my god i thought i was right i thought well it was a common food drop there was nobody's name on the damn product nobody's name let me all of a sudden the refrigerators become like like the like king cut and like we're goal mining for food wait a minute let me be clear you got it out of the fridge you weren't gonna eat the whole thing but you you said oh this is for everyone i was gonna eat the whole thing you damn you damn well better have your name on your lunch and and then tomorrow chris we're all meeting it that's why that's why you put your giant salad in you better have your name on it tomorrow that big beverage is mine clowns are missing the point and i see all the phone line Russell is right team Russell team Russell i see all of you people i appreciate all of you people you guys are the wrong ones because it was a common food drop there is a difference between me bringing in me bringing a salad in that is clearly brought in from home that is clearly not for everyone versus jublin crab cake company bringing in a buffet spread for the junkies who ate everything and then jeff crying and whining about food that he didn't pay for that was taken and going to the damn boss what is in he do what he's supposed to do to a podcast or something instead of going crying and why to the boss you have other stuff to do ck chris your salad could feed a ruby tuesday so you better have your name on it tomorrow would you bring that in okay okay ck we got to go or our program manager is going to be upset he doesn't get annoyed okay he likes who's your program i watched it it's brand manager i'm sorry senior brand manager of development and innovation yeah all things audicy reenee you're on the hot seat and we i'm normally team Russell i can't help you today there's a lot of Russell is right team Russell's on there i'm just telling you a lot of i think you should take those calls when food's in the refrigerator and you didn't put it there you can't eat it and you can't season it for everyone else i'm going to that's the best part i didn't see it i seasoned it for me for me i made the documentary on lsu nil who followed jadon daniels around last year a lot of access to the quarterback we're all looking to to save the commanders joins us next on the fan
