He's getting set for the Rangers pregame, which is coming up here in just a couple of hours. You'll get an abbreviated get ride coming up at seven time now to go around the bases, brought you by Uber Eats. Here's Wollchuck. - It is the debut of Kamala Rocker. It is happening tonight in Seattle against the M's, and we're pumped about it. He's rocking at number 80. Now Jared Sandler is in the building, and I did see a tweet from Jared that he is the first player in Rangers history to wear number 80. And he's the first player since, what, 2019? A Minnesota twin, Ryan Eans? - Yeah, so there wasn't a player who had worn 80 in Major League Baseball until 2019. There have been a handful of guys since. The Rangers have had coaches who have worn 80. They've had guys in spring training wearing 80, but no one has ever, as a player, worn 80 in a Major League game. - I love it. I think the 80's gonna look great on him. I'm really, really excited for this tonight. - And score got me. - Me think so? - No, I mean-- - I don't think we track score got me with baseball, but there's gotta be some scores that have never happened before in baseball. We should do some scoring on me in MLB. - That'd be a good idea. - That'd be good idea. - But I don't know, like, what should we send? You think like is a realistic case tonight? Like five and a half, seven and a half? Like I think he can get eight case tonight. - That's not gonna be over. - Come on, Rocket. You know, should we make bets? Should we play show bets on this? - I already have to do this nitro gummy tomorrow. That's this time tomorrow I might be dead. - It could just be like whoever gets the closest is baseball guy of the day. We don't have to do like a playoff on it. - Okay, yeah, over and under on the punch outs. What's the line? - I mean, I don't know. Let's just give it a number. - What do you think is like a fair with like five and a half? - Well, I think you got a plan on him going no more than five innings. - Okay. - So you got a factor that in. I'm trying to see what Vegas has the line as. I'll let you know. But I would say-- - I'm gonna go four. - I would say five and a half is probably a good line. - Okay. 'Cause I mean, the dude throws heat. And I mean, I'm going over five and a half. I think he's gonna, and this is a line up that you can go ahead and strike out. I mean, this isn't a Mariners lineup that's really been amazing. - I'm gonna go the under on this one. Just because there are five innings. - Okay, Gavin, over under five and a half. - Over, over. - Oh, brisket sandwich bet. - Let's go. - Perfect. - Yep. - Brian, you're buying us all brisket sandwiches when he gets six Ks or more tomorrow. Now, I'm excited for this. This is gonna be awesome. - You have to go in there. - That's like a couple hundred dollar deal. - Well, don't worry, car early most of them. It's not a big deal. - I'm trying to see where I saw this earlier. I can't find it anymore. But that was a good call by Walchuck there. I believe this is the, I believe Camar Rocker now makes this. - Oh, maybe it was Dave Raymond who tweeted it out. - Dave? - Yeah, our guy Dave Raymond talking about Camar Rocker being the 316th starting pitcher in Ranger history, which is the most in the MLB since they arrived in Arlington in 1972. Making the 317th starting pitcher. - Like the Washington of quarterbacks. - Cleveland? - Cleveland, yeah, Cleveland. Something like that. - The line in Vegas is four and a half, but it's four and a half at minus 200. That's a ton of juice. It kind of suggests they don't feel great about five and a half, but you know, so you're, you're, you're probably looking at four and a half, five and a half is like a steady line. So I think that's fair and I think these bets play. They're, they're live, they're active. - They're live for active boys. - We're getting active. - We got my money. - We got my money. - We're getting active today coach. - Let's go. - Let's, I'm ready. 8, 7, 7, 8, 1, 1, 0, 5, 3, going over under five and a half days for tomorrow. - Let me make sure the bet. So the loser, how does this work? How's the brisket sandwiches? - Loser buys brisket sandwiches. - Okay. - So I, and I, the only one went under. - You're really the only one that went under. - I would have hated her. - So it, but if it goes under, I'm, you guys are buying me brisket sandwiches. - Yeah, you're getting a lot of brisket sandwiches if it goes under. - Okay, put it this way. - Yep. - You're going a lot. - We got, we got the, "Show Hay-O-Tawnee Chase for History." This is actually really fun. He's going for 50 and 50. He hit his 47th home where he sold his 48th base last night as the Dodgers were able to beat the Cubbies. He's got 16 games left to get to 50-50. I think he's getting it and I can't wait. This is pretty unprecedented. I think it's amazing. 48 stolen bases are by far the most Photani's career. He had never stolen more than 26 bases in a season prior to... - See, I, I think a lot of that has to do with obviously splitting time and pitching as well, probably I would assume. - Maybe so. - Getting to the new team. Probably more aggressive. - Yeah, maybe. - And manager. - Yeah, that could play a part. But remember I asked that question like, "Hi, is this so impressive?" And you're like, "Dude, he's fast." And then I started watching him and I'm like, "Oh, yeah." - But if he gets back into like the starting rotation next year, do we think like we don't see these numbers again? - Changed the dynamic and you see a lot of guys as they get older, stop running. And I know this is going to be a tough thing to process because I know the knock is that well baseball players stand around a lot. They're not, you know, the conditioning, the cardio isn't like hockey or basketball or football, but they'll all tell you that, you know, the more you try to steal bases, the more taxing it is on your body. And while they're not doing sprints for 48 minutes or whatever, standing around for two and a half hours and all the work that they do every single day, right? They don't have off days as much as other sports. It wears and so like even Marcus Simeon, for instance, you know, look at his stolen base attempts this year, like seven or eight attempts. And so as guys get older, they stop running as much. And I'd imagine when Otani gets back into pitching, he won't run nearly this much. - Got a good text from Tovosh. Actually, he's going over seven innings pitch tonight for Kamala Rocker. But yeah, that's not going to happen. I'll tell you that. - 469 says number 80. I can only think of Tony Hill. Who's the best 80 of all time? Like Martell has been at also or 80. Jerry Rice. Jerry Rice probably the best 80 of all time. I mean, I'd give him vote for win for bed. - Alvin Harper. - Oh, Alvin Harper was my guy, bro. - Good poll. But yeah, Jerry Rice probably is the goat of the eighties. - Who probably is. - Give me Andre Johnson. - I mean, when Jerry Rice left the Niners, a lot of people said he was the greatest football player ever. I think a lot of people still say that. Do you guys feel that way? - No. Jerry Rice. - Are you saying that? Did you say no? - Best football player ever, Jerry Rice. I'd probably say no as well. - Gavin? - I just have a hard time. I think quarterback's the most difficult thing to do by far. So whoever the top quarterback is would be my top player. - Rodus? - Whew. - Darren Woodson, right? - Darren Woodson's my favorite. Me and Tom Brady, I mean, I just think about him in the salary cap era and what he was able to do. And for as long as he did, I would, Barry Sanders was one of the best players I've ever seen in my life. And so it was Luke Keekly, by the way. - Is Jerry like unquestionably the best receiver? Can we have a conversation about that? - So I was gonna ask like, okay, is he one of the only positions where there's no conversation of who's the best? 'Cause I think there isn't. I think he is definitely the best receiver too for me as Randy Moss. - I have it the same. Randy and Jerry. - I think you could definitely say most accomplished receiver statistically, the top. There's a debate to be had. - Barry Fitzgerald was so good. - I mean, he was not super fast. He played in the perfect system to get him the ball on the run in space, you know? - With multiple teams. Like I remember with the Seattle Seahawks, the end of his career, he's still out there. - Oh, he's seen. - Going for over a hundred yards. - Yeah, dude. I mean, he was playing at a really impressive rate, even while late 30s, extremely old. - There was like that Monday night game. - Against the Cowboys, when like Julius Showns went off and they won. And here's freaking like 43 year old Jerry Rice, still with 10 catches, a hundred yards. I was insane. - With the braids, Jerry with the braids. - Wow. - Was he still doing this? Is this bizarre? What are you doing right now? This is insane. - Yeah, at 40 years old, he had 1200 yards. - And four braids, I'll see it. - Yeah, seven touchdowns, at 39 he had almost 1200 yards and nine touchdowns. I mean, it's just ridiculous. He had, I mean, 1500, 1000, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1200, 1500, 1500, 1500, 1800, 1800, 1200. That's all in a row. - That's incredible. I didn't know his nickname was Flash 80. - I didn't know that either. I don't think about him as like a Flash guy, you know? Like kind of cerebral, just technician. - Marty Cooper has in a way, you know, but not like, oh my gosh, speed demon. Like I think about Randy Moss, like dude, this dude's taking the top off the defense. You know, he's a straight line speed dude. - Who do you think has the most receptions all time in playoffs? - Travis Kelsey. - Yeah, Travis Kelsey. - Okay, yeah, you guys knew that good for you guys. - Thank you. - 165 receptions in playoff games. Jerry Rice had 151. - It's amazing. Julian Edelman had 118, by the way. - Best year's receiver of all time. - He certainly is. He might be the best Jewish football player. - Sid Luckman. - He said, I didn't get to see Sid play. - Sid Gilman, Sid Luckman, Sid Luckman, I think, yeah. - Shout-out to you, Edelman, we love you. Okay, I got some audio for you. - When championships play. - Blake Snell has a no-hitter with the Giants. Logan Webb goes on talking baseball with Chris Rose and they're asking, okay, like what would you guys do to celebrate that night? Oh, here was Logan Webb's response. - We hung out at the hotel. I think we had a day game the next day. So we, I think one of us had a kind of like a sweep to hang out and we hung out and Blake didn't even hang out. I think he was playing 2K or something. - So let me get this straight. He throws a no-hitter after he had never seen the ninth inning before in his career. You all are celebrating and he's playing video games? - Yeah, that's Blake. He beats through his own drum. He likes getting on there and talking to the kids that he beats and 2K and MLB the show. That's just him. It's not like it was the whole team hanging out in the room. There was like six or seven of us. It wasn't 25 guys hanging out. Yeah, I mean, I don't, nobody cared if he wasn't there or not. - That would've been a lot of you guys just hanging out. - He is obsessed with those video games. You know, he won that baseball video game tournament they had during COVID. - Oh my gosh, you're right. I was like, "Allo is in that one." - I think Joey Gallo was really good in that room. - Gallo beat him in the first game, but, but Snell obsessed with it came out in the final. But I love that. Like Blake Snell fresh off a no-hitter is just in his hotel room playing 2K and just, and that thing, little kids beating their ass. Like, what the hell is going on? But that's awesome. We had Francisco Lindor, my gosh. Maybe one of the best turnarounds in MLB, like Francisco Lindor had kind of faded off a little bit. All of a sudden, now he's back in the MVP conversation. Joey Otani's gonna get that. Lindor's not gonna get that, but it's amazing. The Mets now are back in the wild card. - You can make, there's a good argument to be made for Lindor. If you really lean into what the Mets would be without him, but yeah, he's not gonna get it. But he is, I think, back on a Hall of Fame type track. - Right, 'cause like this year. - He leaves Cleveland. It's like, oh my gosh, this dude's the next best shortstop in the game. He's incredible. And then things didn't really seem to be panning out for him. And it was okay, as this guy kind of lost a little bit. Now he's back. He ends up getting the home run to ruin the no-no from Francis last night in the Blue Jays. Mets get the win, but it's incredible. I know Basky was talking about, it was his son's favorite player, Francisco Lindor. Now he's looking back up and thinking, damn, this dude is quite the badass again. But the Blue Jays have had a bunch of no hitters broken up in the ninth. I did not know the history of this. It is pretty substantial. - Well, Francis is second one this year, right? - Second one, yeah, yeah, second one, yeah. - August 24th was the last one. Now we're in September 12th. I mean, this is two in the span of what, three weeks? - That good math? - You're doing the math, yeah. - I'm trying, I mean, I'm always gonna-- - Oh, you say, I need to ask for better-- - I need to ask for better. - He does the batting average matter here in this? And that's 268? - I mean, no, not as much. And then you look at just all the-- - He scored 102 runs. He's got 85 RBIs that these things are up to date. - But then elite defense, that's the thing that works. You know, it's playing pre-hit position. - That's who won four things. Michelle's the best receiver of all time. - Wow. - Might be the text of the day. - Well, I'm a field right there. - That's pretty good. - I'm gonna get rid of the field. - That is pretty damn good. James Paxton sets for a tire after the 2024 season. He's calling it quits after an 11 year career. - Big maple, guy knew it was something like that. - A hickory. - I knew it was something like Andrew Chavin's thing. - I knew it was something like maple hickory. I knew it was some type of-- - He's Canadian. - Okay, that's why. - Yeah, that wouldn't make sense. - I love maple syrup, dude. - I was trying to be a baseball guy the day I missed out on that one. - Dude, Big maple is one of the coolest nicknames ever. - It is a cool nickname. - That would have been like a perennial Cy Young candidate for about four or five years if he could stay healthy. - Always fanged up, right? - It was not really able. - Last thing, I've had this for a couple of weeks. So I just want to burn it. But there was an MLB fan that got knocked out. - That's weird. - We're about to burn one together. - We're burning one here. It's in the six o'clock hour. All hell is breaking loose. Let's do it boys. But yeah, so somebody hits a home run an MLB game. I think it was Trevor Larnack. And it ends up, you have a fan who's trying to catch it. They end up getting pegged right in the head. Like boom, bang. - Oh, I remember this dude. - A.O. - Yeah. - Knocks him out. - Yeah. - I mean, I've never actually seen that at a baseball game. Like I've seen the fever pitch movie. Of course, you're bearing more. - How 'bout you with the foul ball? - The LSU fan, remember he took one of the four head. - Yeah. - Big old not on his head. - That was a girl. - But no KO's. - I thought it was a guy. - This is like KO ball game. - Okay, there was a guy. - Yes, but then there was also a female LSU like media girl that got just, she had a lot of real estate though. So that was. - She has six head? - You can see that coming. - You can see that coming. - I'm just like, "Keshan, do you have a situation?" - No, no, no. This is just a lady, media member, a few years ago for LSU. She took one right there in the four head. Yeah. - Right out her name 'cause we like girls with big four heads around here. - We do. Yeah, we do. We say it respectfully. - There's round the bases brought to you by your breeds. - Thank you, old Chuck. An outstanding job once again. Captaining the ship. Our baseball expert. Long time Rangers pre and post game show host. That's Zach, old Chuck. - That's the guy today. - Okay. - That's me. - Sports Hodgepodge next though, chief. What you got? We got a little throwback Thursday story of the day featuring Jerry Jones and Demarcus Ware plus a stat of the day and a new campaign for guys like old Chuck next year in the day. Post season baseball is here and it is the absolute best time of the year. I'm Rod Bradford of baseballs and boring and we're gonna have you covered every step of the way with instant reactions from players and coaches and managers and fans and reporters and everybody else who is immersed in this awesomeness and all the craziness that comes with October baseball. So follow baseballs and boring in the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. (upbeat music) - Welcome back nation. Hope you're having a great day. It's a Kumar Rocker night here on the fan. 837 I think is the first pitch pregame's coming up at eight o'clock is we're all gonna watch. I'm cutting soccer practice early to make sure I get home. I have over five and a half strikeouts. - Hell yeah, we got brisket sandos on the line. - Brisket sandos on the line. - I'm an under. - Wow, can we know you're a bottom? - Can't believe that you. And you doubt the Ranger so much, Brian. I thought you liked these guys. - I just, I'm gonna be different on this. I'm gonna work with the sand, the sandos. - Okay, all right, all right. We'll appreciate you playing along there. We'll have sandos one way or another tomorrow along with a little Friday, what you drinking and what you thinking. Segments brought you by the Frankl's. Life's unpredictable accidents happen. If you're hurt in an accident due to somebody's negligence called to Frankl's for a free consultation, two, one, four, or eight, one, seven, three, three, three, 33, 33, go to franklferm.com. And now let's go to the chief for a sports hodgepodge. - Double bet payoff Friday tomorrow. - You have to remind us. - Nation. - Turn your mic off. - Don't shoot the messenger on this one. Brought us holding up the 9 million Scoville nitro gummy that I consumed a couple of years ago. - Could be the last broadcast ever due. - Yeah, this is as hazardous a payoff Friday as we've ever had and that nitro gummy is going to, it's gonna tear you up. Now, it's really just a mouth pain and a jowl, like right there in my jaws. It's really, really painful. And the thing about it that'll surprise you, brought us is just the sturdiness of that gummy bear. It's not as gummy of a bear as you would like. - What? - If you just choo choo, bam. There's like a-- - What are we doing? - It's a little bit hard. Like, so it takes, you can't just, my point is you can't just chew it really fast and swallow it. It takes a second to get that thing-- - I mean, plastic-- - Shued up. - No, it's gonna get my teeth and stuff. - You might get a little, yeah, you might get a little piece stuck in your back tooth there. And one of those molars or whatever. Sounds like he's describing a bit-o honey. You know, it's all awful, right? - Whoever invented that needs to be punky. - Pull your teeth out. And Walchuck, of course, has the pickled pig feet that he's looking for. - I gotta pick that up, right? - I don't know which one I would rather do. - If you can't. - Like, if I had to pick between these two-- - I'll pick it up. - I'll finish a little nitro, although I might, you know, be in a lot of pain. - 20 minutes of pain. I think I would have to be a coward if I tried a Walchuck's and I've almost bowed out of two different challenges. As a matter of fact, I've said the words on the air, "I can't do this." And then I have, I think the pigs feet might cripple me. - Okay, I think that Walchuck and I are kind of setting an example here of like going full on. Yeah, like if you, oh, I'm just gonna put something around my neck and do the show all day. That ain't-- - That was heavy. - That ain't happening anymore. You're not wearing those. - Those were truck nuts. - You want to get, okay, so it's nothing to get Cincinnati bow tied on the air. That's what you're saying? - Yeah. - Because that's pretty much what it feels like, all right? And you're talking to somebody, and you're talking to somebody who's done in the little nitro gummy, okay? - You know what I'm buying your hands, I'm scared. - I'm aiming to write a shoe there, Chief. I'm aiming to write it to you because-- - I don't think there's anybody who's been more in on the bet payoffs than me. I'm speedowing, I'm back waxing, hey, you name it, I've done it, I'm sacrificing myself for this show. This is no time for bona fides and resumes. It props to you guys. - No, whoa, whoa, whoa. - No, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Where'd you get that, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - This guy, this guy. - Where are we? - This guy, no, where'd you go about? - It's a cranger, I think. - What was this? What was happening? - You're over here, Roo, letting mayo oreos. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Oh, I made a big hammer. - The nitro gummy, that's big, ha, ha, ha. - Thank you. The rest of 'em, week. - The rest of 'em, week, yeah. - That was a bad show, that shows how we'll show some sports. - I just hope that you guys read. - I hope there's some poor scouting. - I was scouting as it pertains to bet payoffs. - I will say this, Dawson's hair, he's like a good right now. - Dawson's hair, that one holiday season looked pretty bad. When he did the look like I had, that was cool. - Yeah, never go as bad. - That was bad luck. - That was my best one. - That was a bad luck. I found the family, and with that look, I'm like, God, I think I felt bad for you a little bit. - That's wild. All right, let's get into the hodgepodge here. Got some football things to bring you, but I do wanna start with just a couple of basketball nuggets, the first of which Jason Tatum was on the Jimmy Fallon late night show, and predicted a rematch playing Dallas in the finals again. - There we go. - So, take that for what you do. - Never go as a smart man. - You're on confidence, the betting odds of the Mavs are really, really encouraging. Like, four to one? - Yeah, four to one, I think I said to you. That is low odds, but I think it's there. - You have the wings, the guards, and the bigs. There's not a better construct than basketball team top to bottom. - Yeah, health, and then the Clay Thompson situation there. Like, hopefully he hasn't just completely bottomed out and lost athleticism. I don't think that's the case, but it's certainly on the chart of things that are possible. Now, I also have this from Beeball Forever bringing us today's stat of the day. Only fans creators made more last year than every single NBA salary combined. So all the-- - A million, how many billions for that thing? - $6.6 billion worth of only fans money was made for content creators in 2023. The 2023 NBA combined payroll was $4.9 billion. - So that sells. - That's us. That was a little surprising to see. Guys like Brodus. - He's hard. - Hard. - He's just running up these numbers for the content creators. - I think that matches BlackRock's total revenue for the year, which is like the number one wealth manager, you know, in charge of all the 401Ks and stock market stuff. - Yeah, whoever created the only fans idea is a-- - Only fan? - It is a brilliant, brilliant man. - He has-- - I mean, the way things can scale in the digital world, you know, where all of a sudden, if your app goes viral around the world, a billion people could hypothetically use it if they just give you a penny each. - It's crazy. - You got 10 mil. - Well, everybody, it seems like the country is late to my hating on Kirk Herb Street's dog party, but they have arrived in huge, huge waves, and I might be actually making a bit of a turn on this one. - Let's go. - Now, the Kirk Herb Street dog Ben, the Golden Retriever, has been even more on television screens over the course of the start of this football season than last year. - Loving our archen. - And now people are joining in on the why is your dog so important? Why is he doing color analysis on football games and stuff? And so Al Michaels, who of course is in the booth with Kirk tonight for Prime's NFL matchup, you have Al being asked about the dog. And he says, "You know what, I'm not an animal person." But Kirk brought this dog last year, and all of a sudden I found myself in love with the dog. Golden Retriever, beautifully behaved. He says Kirk is able to bring him around and he doesn't even have him on a leash, finds the dog to be hysterical. And he says he's never had a pet in his life or a vegetable, but he'll have a pet before he has a vegetable. So-- - Okay, this is made up lines. Al Michaels is coming around. It's because of this dog. - I think you added that little last bit to the story. - I'm dead serious about this. - He did not say vegetables in the dog. - I swear he did. That's part of the reason why I brought it to the table 'cause I thought that was a great line by Al Michaels. A noted non-vegetable eating gentleman, pointing that out that he's also not a pet guy, but thanks to this Golden Retriever, he is maybe more open now than ever to having a pet still as close as ever as it pertains to taking a bite of a carrot. So I thought that was just a nice way to put it for him. And the thing we also learned about Kirk Herb Street's dog, Ben, is that this is kind of like a make a wish thing because he's dealing with some form of cancer and stuff. So that changes the outlook on where this dog gets to go and every kind of feeling like a Richard now, aren't you? - The dogs do what they should be. - But I am at least turning a leaf on this and kind of going, I don't hate on this dog deal as much as the world is right now. He's getting it from all angles. - The words I have cancer can open up a lot of doors, I feel like, for you. Not any doors that you want to be opening, but if you're there, you know, and in that Vana, Chief, I wanted to confide in you that I've been thinking about bringing my dog up here, not for cancer relief, but you know, it just makes me a little bit happier. I don't know why I'd be against my happiness. Good studio vibes up in here. - Yeah, he's a non-barking pug, which is a bonus. - Okay. - A pug. - You usually hold it for four hours or so. - Little, we should be okay. - All right. I do like those pug faces, they're pretty amazing. All right, here's a great story. Throwback Thursday's story of the day and it comes via OCU manura, pass rusher for the Giants. Part of that Super Bowl champion team that beat the undefeated Patriots. - Played at Troy, same mycologist, Marcus Ware. - Good buddies with Demarcus Ware. He has the same financial advisor, if you will, as Demarcus Ware listened to him tell the story about Demarcus Ware getting his highest paid defensive player in the sport contract from Jerry Jones in the Cowboys years ago and the conversation he had on the phone with his financial advisor that he also shared with Demarcus Ware. - Me and Demarcus also have the same financial advice and Chris Cole, I called Chris Cole and Chris picks up the phone and there's like music in the background. I'm like, Chris doesn't part. - Yeah, you like. - What is this? - I'm like, you're at a party. He's like, yeah, I'm at a party with Demarcus. Jerry Jones just made Demarcus Ware the highest paid defensive player in the league and after that, he threw him a party. (laughing) - He's so pretty. - For taking his money. - At this time, I'm going through a contract this week. (laughing) He made this guy the highest paid player in football and threw him a party. - And throw him a party. - And throw him a party. - Here you go. - He says a negative word about Jerry Jones. You and I are going to have a problem. Who does that? - That's pretty amazing. And I don't know if Jerry's still doing that. I don't know if he's made a habit of that over the years or if this was just a one off, we know that smile and incredible personality of Demarcus Ware could make you do things that maybe you never thought you would. But Jerry's like, hey, here's kind of a fun place to go. - Here's the biggest contract in football history for a defensive player and you are also, we're going to throw you a big time party because of it. - It's a party party. - That's awesome it is. - And OC's going, dude, I'm trying to get a contract from the Maras with the Giants here. And I'm seeing Demarcus Ware not only getting the record setting deal, but also having a party thrown for him by the people that are giving him that contract, pretty incredible. - I mean, I can count on, I think one hand, the number of players that have been through here in my time covering the Cowboys that didn't like Jerry, you know? - Right. - Even some of the crazy things that he said, the positions that he's taken and maybe T.O. - Yeah. - I wonder if T.O. - That ended poorly. - Yeah, I wonder if that was one. And I was just thinking of guys that might have, you know, maybe now that he's in the Hall of Fame and everything's okay. Maybe he's softened that a little bit, but I wonder on the way out if he has any good thoughts for Jerry. - Well, you know, Jay Radcliffe didn't think the most of Jerry by the time that he left. - Sure. - I mean, Jerry had so much respect for D-Wear when D-Wear left and ultimately went to the Broncos. I remember Jerry saying we didn't even want to give him a contract to offer because it would be disrespectful to what he's done for the organization. Like what we have to give at this point, it was another one of those cap consolidating type of years. They just, they didn't even want to put something on paper that would have been, you know, disrespectful to their guy. I was just happy he was able to go get a Super Bowl. - I saw from Nate Tyson. We talked about earlier Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tyler Murray in that weird situation. - Yeah. - Week one, the rookie wide out, only getting two targets his way. One was dropped and the one that he caught went for four yards and that was it. He had weird tracking numbers as it pertains to his speed. Like extremely low, under 17 miles per hour was his max speed for the day, which is really, really nice. - Did he do a story like last draft season? Like there are some people that think Marvin Harrison isn't going to be that good. - Was it speed? Was speed the thing? - Speed, he didn't look super fast on tape. I mean, he was a guy that just, he was around. It was kind of like we were just talking about earlier, like with the Jerry Rice thing. Like he's around technician. He's very smooth, he's a long strider. There were times where effort, you know, with him, it seemed like maybe he was a little checked out, but no, he was pretty much unanimous can't miss wide receiver prospect. - Yeah, and stuff-- - I had to open it up and put neighbors ahead of him. - Right, because of how great, I mean, it's just-- - Just because his neighbors was incredible. - I knew more about neighbors than I did Harrison, but you know, you're trying not to put Harrison to hell with a football player. I was watching, you know, chief, you were talking about maybe the lack of speed or the effort. Kind of was looking at the tape just a little bit of, you know, a couple hours ago, and it's like, yeah, it was kind of like, he was flying off the ball like he thought he would. - For Marvin Harrison Jr. - Yeah, over the weekend, yeah. - Yeah, it was just kind of like-- - He didn't run the 40s, right? He ran it in Ohio State, which is a fast track, and he didn't run at the combine. So he might have been trying to hide the speed. - Maybe that was a concern I thought of. - Yeah, and the speed might have been the concern, yes. - Yeah, well, Nate Tice of Yahoo is trying to, you know, make these Cardinals fans calm down a little bit 'cause he says the Bill's defensive game plan was basically to try and take Harrison out of the game. They clouded his side. - They clouded his side, yeah, 40% of the time. - Sure did, sure did. - So which is actually the third highest in the NFL for week one. So he had the corner underneath and the safety over top so that you can really try and limit how much he can hurt you. So who knows where this goes from here. And the Kyler comments about saying it's not my job to get him the ball was pretty funny and we'll see how that manifests itself. But Nate Tice giving Cardinals fans reason for hope here. Hey, the Bills were trying to take him out of the game. And, you know, for guys that are in year two, three, four, five, six, more established quarterbacks might say, hey, I don't care if you're doubled. We're still just going to get you the ball. But this was his first game. So the speed stuff is weird though. - Just coming off the ball. It's almost like he, yeah, usually these guys have a burst and he's just such a tall, long guy. It just didn't look like, you know, I'm like, is he really running here? You know, you mentioned it. I was like, okay, I can see what's going on here. - Okay, a little surprise for you guys. But right now in the midst of a sports hodgepodge, we pivot to this. - Yes, we are. Two paranoia. Do you have it? A guy to my left might. There is a. - What does that mean? - There is a new term. - Two paranoia. - That's right. The health department is starting a new campaign. Queensland Health has started a new campaign, which is of course, it's okay to poo at work. - No. - Apparently this is a bit of an epidemic and there have been some health related issues that have been involved with people with poo paranoia as it pertains to the workplace. And that can be uncomfortable. I've worked in places where it was extremely uncomfortable. I've had to overcome that a little bit. But apparently it is called Parco Presis is the actual term for what Walchuck suffers from, which is the public toing, especially at work. There's a little bit more intimacy involved depending on the location of the bathroom, how many of the opposite sex members work in your office to where like, oh my gosh, you just tore it up. Is it just a one bathroom for all? I've worked at a place where I had like over half the staff was women and all we had was a one stall, one toilet bathroom. And so-- - You had to share with the ladies in the office? - Oh yeah, no, absolutely not, why? - It was bad. - You gotta be flexible, you get there. - My last job before I got into radio was like that. I worked in a cult center of like 20 people. And it was, you know-- - That's when you were Jim McCormick. - Just one restroom. - Jim McCormick. - This was the coolest Jim McCormick. I was working in the mortgage industry at the time. I'd moved on from the fishing and hunting guys. But there was this girl that we worked with that would come back from the restroom and say, oh my gosh, that is so nasty. Who is pooing in here? You know? She's like, we only have one restroom. You gotta do that before after work. And I was like, you know what? She's actually got a pretty good point here. - She has a jam-- - Just don't pooey work. Oh, I go here all the time now. I just use the limits. - Right, you gotta wait 'til later in the afternoon. - No, I'll go, while we're prepping for the show. I don't care. - Okay. - You know she's still here, right? She leaves at three. - Yeah, that's wild. - I haven't seen her in God knows how long. - Okay. - That's buck wild. She's seen you in 2024. - So what are you gonna say? I wanna use the women's bathroom, damn it. - As long as you can keep your shoes. - It is cleaner, man. - It's so much better. Nobody uses it. - It's so much cleaner. Gosh, it's cleaner. - Yeah, hiding of the shoes. 'Cause that's how you-- That's how you get ID'd quickly. Oh, I know who's under there. - I know the shoes are when you got like people that wanna look through the crack. - Who's in it? Who's in it? - I just lose it right now. - I lose it right now. - I didn't throw it. - I'm making shoes while you're on it. - No, come on, I see ya. - The bathroom grenades were always a fun one. You wet up the paper towels, lob them into the stall, or you know, your buddy's in there, whatever. - Yeah, I saw that. I didn't go to school. - Some people have it to where they're so paranoid that they will actually bring like a backup pair of poo shoes. - There we go. - Okay. - You know, you're pulling a fast one on them. - Yeah. - Yeah, when I first started working here, I did that. - Really? - Yeah, some flats, bro. - Yeah. - Real talk. - Yeah, I like that. - I really did. - I didn't notice people. - I don't know these people. - I don't know these people. - I don't know, y'all. - Don't judge me. You don't know my situation. - I'd rather work with people that had poo paranoia than people that were like super like non concerned about that. You know? - Yeah. - A little too confident as it pertains to it. We got some of those guys up here. - Especially the guys with the massive like blowback functionality. I don't know how they just paint the inside of that bowl. - Oh yeah. - But if I'm doing that, there's no way I'm going anywhere than my own house. - Yeah. - Right. - Well, when I worked at the apartment complex that had this nightmare bathroom situation, my apartment was like five minutes down the road. I would, when I first started working there, I would drive home. Hey, I'd left something. I gotta go, let me go do that. After about a year working there, I was like, forget this dude. I'm just gonna own it. - I'll tell you what Monty Kiffen used to, he didn't care. He'd go into like the scouts bathroom and you would, you could hear it. (laughing) It was a turn to go, hit the back here. Every single time, everybody'd all go, "Well, Monty's using the men's room." (laughing) - Oh man. - Oh man. - Oh my God. - Old men restroom habits is just a whole other topic. - We gotta run. - Doesn't usually take you guys a long time. I'm sorry, 'cause you can't do it at work. You don't have the time, I'm doing radio. - Quick. - Commercial breaks are five minutes in the moles. I can't get one done in five minutes, bro. - Yeah. - Come on over to the five percent life, bro. I got some extras in my backpack. - 30 minutes. - That's like a lot of water slides out when I gotta sit there and relax. (laughing) - Let's smoke my vape. - We gotta have a run, nation. When we're returned, we'll have a little cross talk with the fan after dark, Fred's in the house. So is somebody else in C-A. C-A in the house, Fred and C-A, next to the nation. Thank you, Lucius, G-Bag Nation. We are now set to hand off the broadcast baton to the fan after dark in tonight's configuration, Fred and C-A, and gentlemen, good evening. How the heck are ya? - Hey. - Five hundred meters, man. One hour, blink and you miss it. - Oh, look at this. - But I gotta beef with you guys. 'Cause I only heard a couple of you guys say this. - You really think that the Chan and Sharp thing was an accident? - Yes. - I'm saying yes. - Really? All three? - Yeah. - Four. - You guys are three of the smartest guys I know. - No one does. - You guys really don't think. - No, don't do that. - That was on purpose. - I generally don't. - No. - I don't think you would want to have the outside world listening in on that. - If you've been called gay, you might. - But I don't think- - What you have like a better showing? - He was slow stroking. - He was the whole nonsense floating there. - That's the beauty. - That's the beauty of it. - You want it to be crazy in there. Like, oh my God, Jenna just turned it out. - Look, it's so that you don't have to overthink it. I mean look, hey, he's had the internet question his sexuality before. - Yeah, they said he was zesty. - Zesty, right? What better way to kill the zesty rumors than with one of the most unzesty sex tapes? It's just a bunch of sounds. - But do you possibly cost your empire? - What? Really? From some sex sounds? - You just don't know. - You never know. - In other words, you don't know the reaction. - It's picked my curiosity to answer your question, Fred. - Fred, why do you walk in here being a logic? (laughing) - Because you're a man, that's why. - I just didn't question his sexuality. But I guess if it was that, if he really thought that so many people did. - Yeah, you just pop up with a girl. You would just be caught out of date with a girl. - It's a lot easier to quell him when you hear girl sounds. - Just go ahead and make a audio fix tape for the Instagram live. That way, nobody call me gay no more. (laughing) - There's that. - It's so good. - Looshes had to laugh at it. - That's so good. - How do you have a sex tape where you're behind the door? You just happened, I mean, what, what? One of his minions just happened to be running around. Oh, I hear it. Let's see if everybody else wants to hear it too. No. - The phone wasn't moving either. - So you've never accidentally done anything with your phone while it's in your pocket or you took your clothes off and accidentally hit a button? - If I, look, if I'm gonna do that, no. I think we're all aware of our facilities and everything else that maybe-- - I black out, to be honest with you. (laughing) - What's coming up on this show tonight, though, gentlemen? I mean, it's an hour, right? So, I mean, we got Jared on for a segment. We're gonna do a little cross talk. We're gonna do a little Thursday night football talk. And of course-- - Cowboy. - You know, I mean, unrocker. We'll talk a little rocker. - Yeah, yeah. - Rocker than, you know. Who doesn't like phenomenal feet? Besides Rex Ryan. - Yeah, that's right. - Yeah. - So speaking of phenomenal feet, I try to get these guys fired about trading for a different running back. I think the Cowboys have everything, but no running back. - No good running back. - Gotta get a feature back. - I'm gonna get a feature back. - Go get the star hour. - Yeah. - I think you do need another playmaker with some speed 'cause if there's one gripe I do have and CA and I talked about this last night is outside of CD Lamb, I don't know. God forbid if one of these, you know, the Lions, the 49ers, the Eagles decide, you know what? Let's make somebody else beat us. Who is that guy? And I'm just nervous that right now with that Cowboys team, I mean, if we're putting it all on Brandon Cooks, I think it's Jake for example. - Ferguson's in there too. We'll see how this bone burrows heels. - Yeah. - So as I'm saying, I think you need a running back. I think you do need to go get you another receiver. - Two years ago, Niners offense, middle of the road. Get McCaffrey, number one efficient game changer. - And you know what? I don't disagree with you on that. - Here we go. - I got a bone to pick with you tomorrow. - Okay, I can't wait. Let's go. - Right? - To 220, you're gonna be picking over a pig bone, pig feet bone. - You know what I'm gonna save for Monday then. - Okay. (laughing) - Cannot wait tomorrow. - Take off, pickled pig's feet for Wolchuck at 220. Brought us with a little nitro gummy at 520. Thanks to Lucius Alexander and the Pimp Cup over their master control. Thanks to Wolchuck and shea Follow and Brought us and I'm Gavin Dawson. 'Til tomorrow at two, you're going home with the nation.
