Earl in the update just mentioned the passing of Pat Fisher, the 84 year old, three time pro baller and a former all pro with Washington. He was a Redskins from 1968 to 1977. He was a beloved player. My mom's favorite player actually. Like I tell you, remember, he's number 37. My mom used to talk about him all the time. My mom was born late 50s. So she would have been, you know, in the teens, I guess, ish, maybe early 20s when he was doing some of his best work for Washington. And that's a fun, really happy memory for her is him laying the lumber. But I texted her or called her today and said, you know, I don't know if you heard this, but she said, oh, one of the hardest hitters, just like all heart, I think players that liked that team, that era fans are like, he's the player that would stand out or one of them that you just can't not love how he played. It's sort of typified what it meant, right? Just the, the, the, you know, maybe been undersized and maybe a step slower than some, but it's all guts and effort and hard hits. And that guy was a freight train downhill. My dad, he was one of my dad's favorite players too. My dad loved Sonny Jurgensen, um, right around that same air. My mom's lost. Yeah. I used to tell you my mom every time they'd be down like by 15 points when I was a kid or anytime in my life and three words would come up. She's like, Sonny could do it. Actually, I guess it's four words. Yeah. Sonny would do it. Sonny could do it. Sonny, Sonny, I'm like, Sonny's not walking through that door. They're going to lose. Sonny's up in the booth talking about it. He's talking with Frank and Sam. Mike Clary, I believe weighed in as well. Ryan's pops with a little Pat Fisher take. He did. And I texted him. I was like, Hey, like Pat Fisher passed away. I knew it was one of his favorite players. I do believe he owned the Vienna in also, which I owned it. I believe he owned it. I want to say my dad would know he did not comment on that earlier on, but I didn't consume a lot of chili balls. Check sources on that. I will. I will. But he did say this pound for pound, one of the hardest hitters. One note, I believe he was Ron McDowell's godfather as well. He was a great player. That's from Mike Clary. That was from Mike Clary. I didn't know he was Ron McDowell's godfather who made a couple of Pro Bowls in his own right. It was a champion here in DC. While we have Ryan Clary before he gets back to work, would you mind firing up a little music for me, Daris? That would, you know, get Ryan in the mood to explain some things to us. That's right. Big week on the Grant and Danny radio program and an awesome show today. Austin Echler killed it tomorrow. We got Will Montgomery with a detailed O line breakdown. I asked him to study the film on Bia dish and allegretti and how the guys are fairing up front. What he sees from Brandon Coleman. So good O line breakdown from Montgomery tomorrow at three, the former center here in DC and we'll have Steve Maryucci on the show at six o'clock. I am well, Mooch action. Mooch is one of my favorite guys in football. Love him. We've never had him on the show. I don't think maybe a radio row at some time. I think we did radio row one time. Yeah. I don't even know if I count that. It's like a car wash with him and like 30 other people interview him that day. You want to sit down and tell him about K jewelers. I'm like, no, the Super Bowl. But also let's talk about football. Yeah. So I hope you're on the show with us tomorrow. Is that kind of time in DC when the analysts, they're just, we're beating them away with a stick. Lewis Riddick begged us to come on today. Is it please? Steve Maryucci was like, guys, I know you want to have other people on, but why not me? Anyway, we need that music again. Sorry. I talked too long. Ryan. Have I told you guys that tomorrow we're going to have Steve Maryucci on the show? Come on. I'm kidding. Got one. Have a query. Hurricanes. How do they happen? This is actually a very fascinating answer with, as you know, I am the show meteorologist. After all, I've been the show meteorologist the last two years. So this will be an easy one to explain despite bits along the way. He is actually the show meteorologist. I am the show meteorologist. So this happens in the Atlantic, like basically per ocean, like in the Pacific Ocean, it's a typhoon. I don't really know why they're all kind of the same thing. A typhoon, a hurricane, a hurricane's for the Atlantic. And so that's why we are here in the United States and the Southeast region here. But it's based on why we're here because of hurricanes in the Atlantic. And that's why we're here in the Atlantic and we're talking about hurricanes. That's the reason we're here. That's the reason why we're here. But if not for hurricanes, to be clear, we would not be here. We would not be here without hurricanes. That is correct. So it is warmer water kind of down towards the Bermuda, the Bahamas area as well, kind of near that area as well, where it's warmer water that just kind of sits there and weather systems kind of churn up there easily. And the water just sits there. Yes, the water does hit there. It is the ocean. And so what happens is with the warmer water comes very bad weather systems. Right. And there's a big step in somewhere. I thought he was killing it for a little while. All right. Now the ocean is just sitting still. The whole time feeling that water is moving a little bit, man. The ocean does move. There are some tides there. There's a current. There's a current. That doesn't have any effect on hurricanes. No effect on hurricanes. I can't I can't confirm that. But it's just the weather system. No, it's warmer water that then kind of just churn up these weather systems. They turn up the weather systems. And so the water heats to a certain temperature and it begins. No, so here's here's one thing that science or at least the meteorology school that I went to back in the day that they don't really want to tell you. They call that Falls Church High School home in the Jaguars. That's true. They don't tell you this part. Mm hmm. You ever heard of the saying God take the wheel? I think that I haven't actually. Well, God takes wheel in hurricanes, I think. Okay. And I think that is how these are turned up because I don't know how these hurricanes come out of nowhere to see your scientific explanation to be clear is God takes the wheel. God takes it over. It's not a typhoon. This is why we're here in the Atlantic. The water's there and then God takes the wheel. God takes the wheel. Those are your four steps for her. Those are my what is the Coriolis effect? I don't have to look back to my textbook at that point. Yeah, I don't know. It's where Oregon State plays, right? Yeah, that is. That is a great one. Seriously, explain that. Please fire up the music for us. There's if you don't mind. As a meteorologist, of your stature, you're well aware of. You and Doug Cameron go to the meteorology. Coriolis effect in the, you know, the effect that it would have on a hurricane. So go ahead and tell us about a Coriolis effect. A Coriolis effect is basically just with it's warm water that takes over in the Atlantic and then all of a sudden it just turns up a big hurricane. It turns it up. That itself is the effect. That itself is the effect. Now let me ask you this. What about the Gulf of Mexico? That's not the Atlantic. No, but it's connected with it. So it kind of coincides with the Atlantic there, wind speeds. Anything we need to know about wind speeds, we mentioned wind it all really. Oh, there's hurricane force winds. And so it gets to a point where it is a hurricane and that's where you'll see kind of more in the inner bands of a hurricane that it's kind of the worst part of it. So it's right outside the eye there. That is the part where you don't want to be in the eye or you don't want to be in the eye. Well, no, because if you do go through the eye, which the eye will inevitably go through Tampa, unfortunately, they will get the bulk of it because they're getting both sides of the hurricane there. So they're going to have two different levels of hurricane force winds, but in that eye, there's no rain and there's no wind there. It is calm. Wow. But the reason what makes this storm so special is that I believe there's only a four mile radius of this eye, which is very small compared to other major hurricanes. Interesting. That just come because of the waters there. The water is there. The water is resting and it's warm, warm water. I've swum in warm water on my vacation before in the summer. And you were, you were a precursor to her. And I was like, Oh my God, there's going to be a hurricane because it's like warm water. So the Coriolis effect is really the churn. Oh, sorry. Yeah. Around 75, 80 degrees, I believe. I mean, so why doesn't urine turn into a hurricane? Well, it's not a big enough body of water. It's got to be in an ocean. So if I had a big enough bath, eventually it would churn because the Coriolis is big enough. If it's big enough is the Atlantic ocean. Yeah. Good or the golf or the golf. Yeah. So it's just warm up water, warm up the water in a big old pool and you get it. It's a low pressure system. I believe is what it's ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. If you had any questions, you don't anymore solved. Next time all you teachers out there want to teach your students about hurricanes, he's available for guest lectures. Just find that. Oh yeah. They'll they'll ace that SOL test. They will be SOL. I do want to say while I swallow my smile for a second, we're thinking about our friends in Florida. Yes. That is a serious situation. We bring up hurricanes because they're in the news. They're everywhere the last two weeks, but it sounds like a really scary situation. This one, I mean, they're all scary. This is especially so apparently this is as nasty as they go. I saw a recad structure to a category five grew again today. So very, very scary. We'll think about folks that we know and those that we don't in the Tampa, Florida area, hopefully everyone down there just gets out of there. Yep. I don't understand. It's easy for me to say not having been in that situation, but I cannot relate to someone who doesn't evacuate if they have the means and ability to. I get that sometimes you're not able to and that's brutal, but there are plenty of people that are told like, Hey, this is going to be bad. You got to leave and they go Oh, no, I'm going to be fine. And I'm not casting aspersions as much as I'm saying. I have a very different personality where I am afraid and I have a little thing called anxiety. And when someone tells me to do something, I do it as soon as possible. I don't know, like, where are you on that? Because it's your home. You don't want to leave. You don't want to be inconvenienced. There's a chance that maybe everything's just going to be okay. There's a, there's a skepticism sometimes. It's like, yeah, it's not going to be as bad as they say. I think that happens a lot. I know that would happen to, you know, not that my grandparents were, they were down there some years ago, never, it seems luckily for hurricane, but they would always good. It's we've, I'm at this time, I'm like, I'm like 79, I'm 80 years old. I've been, they've been telling me this is doomsday every day on the news for however many years, right? Everything is the end. This, can apples kill you? Are peaches trying to steal your soul? Like, they've been doing, they've dealt with nothing but these alarmist stories forever. So they don't believe anything. I'm not saying I agree. I'm just saying, I think that's the pathology in some cases. We will get back to the calls on the commanders and the Ravens before we say goodbye. We've also still got to tell you who's getting sent home and who's getting immunity in commander's survivor. But let's spin you around the NFL. Week five is in the books as of Monday night football last night. Give you some things that we think we think Danielle start. I think the Vikings are for real. They had a Sam Darnell dud. They had an offensive regression in the second half and they still found a way to win. They are excellent defensively. They are good on special teams. They beat the Jets 23 to 17 to get to five and oh, they've trailed for less than three minutes of football through five games. They play, I believe three teams the rest of the way that have 500 records at this point. Minnesota is not going away. They are going to be a playoff team. Think I think I think it's happening. The regression for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can't just not score ever on offense and have a winning record. I know their defense is great and it still is. Their defense is awesome. It's probably in my opinion, the best defense in the NFL. They do everything, but that offense stinks and it's going to come back and haunt you. They've lost too straight because of it thing. I think I think Caleb Williams has figured it out a little bit. The Bears offense is looking up week by week. He's getting better week by week. It is best game. You see him at all. Yes, I did. Yeah. 20 of 29, 304 to touchdowns. Very, very sharp outing for the rookie quarterback. Think I think I think if you were going to get some of the best teams in the NFL, you might be missing your chance. Looking at teams like Kansas City, teams like Houston who haven't played their best football just yet and are combined nine and one with things starting to roll downhill, right? That avalanche is going to start going boulders and the whole thing is going to fall. They look really, really, really, really, really, really okay with great records with their best football yet to come. Thing I think I think I think I think I have a new favorite quarterback to watch in the NFL. CJ Stroud. I think CJ Stroud is my guy. I'm not saying he's better than my homes or burrow or Allen or whatever, but I love CJ Stroud. I saw him do an interview with Pat McAfee today. He is just so likable. Everything he's done since he got to Houston has been professional and kind of by the book. He seems like just a genuinely good human being. He's a great player. He's my kind of guy living in the pocket, making big boy throws. I am a CJ Stroud mark. He might be my favorite quarterback. Or members. Wonderlook score wasn't that great. So do you think they'll ever be any good? Well, it was S two testing. What was the bad? I think was the issue. Yeah. So I guess he can't play. So don't worry about it. Don't even bother watching them. I don't quite get green Bay as a thing. I think I think they're good. They're three and two. They survived not having Jordan love. They played Minnesota really competitively last week. That one really close. They've only won by more than one score once against a really bad Tennessee team. I kind of don't understand them just yet. They're three and two. They're going to keep getting better, but I don't know that they're good yet, but I feel like they're good. Did that make any sense? I know that it probably didn't, but I don't quite understand them thing. I think I think it is weird to me how some coach quarterback interactions are taking differently than others. Bo Nix and Sean Payton were basically separated for screaming at each other on the sideline. And it turned into this. Look at this father and son that love each other so much story. Bo Nix. He's so such a leader, such a veteran already yelling at his coach. Like, can you imagine if there were just other guys around the league where if that's Justin Fields and Tomlin or, I don't know, some other situation like Antonio Pearson and Gardner Minshew or something. It's just funny to me how we take some of these. I thought Bo Nix played really well for Denver, by the way, 19 of 27, 206 and a pair of scores this past week. But if you didn't see it, he had this exchange with Peyton on the sideline where they're getting after each other. And it was taken as this fun thing. And I'm like, that's kind of weird how that works. I think I think I think the Chargers and Broncos are going to be playing meaningful football games. We didn't think that maybe a few weeks ago. The Chargers are two and two. They said they're buying nothing special there. They lost a game to Pittsburgh when Justin Herbert left with injury. They lost by a score to Kansas City where how to lead in that game were pretty competitive. They couldn't really move the football and score that well, but Denver is now three and two. Don't look now, but I think they're going to be playing meaningful football games thing. I think I think he'll never get credit for it because everyone hates his guts. Daniel Jones is playing pretty well right now. Did not have Malik neighbors this past weekend through for two 57 and two touchdowns, lit it up with Darius sleigh through the air. Think about that. His receivers that were catching passes in this game were Darius Slaton, E Gray, whoever that is. I think it's a running back out of the backfield. I'm trying to think of who else called balls. Wanda Robinson definitely did Tyrone Tracy. They didn't have their running back. They didn't have their number one wide receiver. They scored 29 points in a win and Jones didn't turn the ball over. He's playing pretty well last month thing. I think I think San Francisco every once in a while, most of the time it's basically 12 and five, 13 and four really, really good, right? Every once in a while, they have that injury riddle. Nothing seems to be right. They can't get going six and 10 kind of a season and we give them benefit of the doubt because they've earned it. Again, when they're healthy and right, they go to the conference championship. If not the Super Bowl, they've been to two in the last five years for conference title games, at least in the last five years as well. This starting to feel a little bit like one of those six and 10 kind of teams where they just can't get going for some reason. And the longer it feels like it's just a weird aberration, it becomes more of a trend. Things. Those are some things we think we think around the NFL. We think the commanders have a gargantuan game against the Ravens coming up on Sunday in Baltimore. We're getting your first thoughts. G is in Arlington. What's up? G. How are you? Hey, what's going on? I apologize for the noise in the background. I think it's 24/17 commanders. I think the fast rest is going to get out to Lamar. And I just want to say that not only are the players just far and be well to the good coaching. We have a dynamite in front office now. We have a winning team again. Thanks. Appreciate you. He went all the way to the score. Forget first feel. Here's what I do know. There should be a ton of confidence right now in the ownership group because they have done a good job to this point in the front office because they have done a good job at this to this point in the quarterback who has been outstanding to this point and almost every phase of the operation other than maybe the defensive side of the ball and even that's improving my delicious coaching staffs are pretty damn impressive to me too. Yeah. That's all the faces you can be good in. They're good in gives you gives you a chance every week. Funny how that works, right? Weird how you're four and one. Yeah. It's also funny how four straight wins makes you feel too sometimes. Yeah. Now these are different because these are dominant blowout wins. Let's go to Mike and Clinton on Grant and Danny. What's up? What's up? What's up? You know, Mike and Clinton. Hey, look, we going up Baltimore this weekend and we going the school ain't even gonna be as close as you all think. Everybody talking about on the junkies be mentioned Finley. How we gonna stop Baltimore? How Baltimore gonna stop us? It's a storm. That's former here. I sell out our Jersey selling out. What you call that? 155 on score. We the best in the league. See, people don't even know what storm is coming around the area. You can fill it and they don't even know the storm name. But I'm gonna tell you the storm name. The storm name is Hurricane Leroy. Leroy is here. Why Leroy? Who's Leroy? Who is Leroy? Leroy. This the storm is about to take over the NFL. I'm gonna call back because I can fill it. Leroy name you never heard. Leroy that name you got to fill. Leroy is coming with passion. Leroy is coming to take over this town. And when we go up there and when and he the women is, I think we do better on quarterback that don't pick us out the pocket. Right but why Leroy? I want to go back to Leroy. Leroy? Okay. Leroy is my great granddad that I never met. And I can fill it. He can fill me. He gonna come over the team. I am trying to tell you. Okay. Come over the team and we're gonna come back to this. I'm gonna call y'all back. That's my first time getting there. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you. But you don't want to go like Hurricane Jayden or Hurricane. No, it's Hurricane Leroy. Leroy. The name Leroy is a bad man. And nobody see it's coming. The freight train coming. And nobody will stop it. Everybody think it will be close. But I'm gonna tell you the score. We won two weeks ago by twenty eight. One this week by twenty one. This one may be worse. Wow. Just coming because of the storm. The storm Leroy. Leroy. Leroy. How do you spell it? And we don't L E R O O O Y. Several o's. So there's only one E. That doesn't spell it's almost like the French style. So it's not easy. You got to have the one E because you want to say Roy. Okay, so do it again. Sorry. Leroy. But it's only one E. But it's one E. I'm having a tough time with this. There's always in the way. Leroy. Leroy. Leroy hit that stadium. Everybody think it'll be close. It's not gonna be close. It's not going to be close. Leroy. Leroy. Yeah. You're doing it. We come. Yeah, we come. Let me in the past. A mobile quarterback messes up. But some reason right now. I'm gonna give you one more chance though. Let's spell it differently. How do you want to spell it? Lee Roy. We can put the double E in there to make it a lower league. But you got ahead of Roy. Okay. So the Roy is the emphasis. So why don't we do this? L two little E's and then capital R O Y Roy like Lee Roy. Okay. So Leroy is coming. And when they hit that stadium up on Baltimore, that button was a pathway. Are we going up that thing and represent? It's always not going to be a close game. But everybody thinks I got 28 to 30 point one. Wow. 30 point win. You imagined to go to Baltimore and just Leroy the hell out of them. I mean, if they Leroy the Ravens by 30 points, we need to just make sure Lee Roy and everybody. The shirts should say Leroy with a one E on it. They Leroyed the Cardinals on the road. They Leroyed the Browns at home. They used to get Leroyed all the time. I remember going to you remember the game at where Laurent Landry was John with the Sean Jackson before kickoff course. He got Leroy Jenkins. And then on the first play he got Leroyed for an 88 yard touchdown in the crib. And then they Leroyed him for four straight quarters. Washington used to Albert Handsard with Leroyed right on the ground. Now we're the only Leroy's. Let's go to Jay and South Riding. Hello, Jay. Hey, Jay. What's going on, fellas? Hey, buddy. Hey, listen. So the Leroy, the Leroy hurricane, Leroy. It's the last dragon. That was his name when the brother got the golden juice and he became Bruce Lee. And his name was Leroy. That was the last dragon. That is hurricane Leroy. If you know, you know, if you don't, you don't, you don't. And that's okay. But do you know, I got the movie, the last dragon that is an old school, mid 80s movie when things were different. Yeah, but I'm I remember the reference that the guy at the end. Yeah, he turned it. I don't even know how to go from there. I'm so bewildered by this whole Leroy. I have been kind of confused for several minutes, but Jay is my guy. I like that you connected the dots for us as best as you could. It is time to figure out who's getting booted off the island. Who's getting immunity right now? Commanders survivor. Let's see first, who's getting immunity? Brian Robinson had immunity going into this week. So he can't get it again after two rushing touchdowns. Daris, who do we have? I believe this gentleman says at the end of his chance, Rick Flair, give me two claps. Frankie Louvoo gets immunity this week. Congratulations to our, hopefully you'll probably get a defense player of the week at this point. Got a chance to have some big old numbers in this category and a forced fumble recovery. It's give me two claps and a Rick Flair. Oh, there we go. I botched it. I'm sorry. Because the two claps and then you go, like Rick Flair used to. There we go. I'll never botched that again. I promise. Don't you worry about a thing. Ryan Clary. So is getting sent home. Who's getting lee right here? Sorry. That threw me off there. Zach Earths will be the one booted off the island. Oh no, he is gone. People have gotten tired of the getting exactly what's there. No yards after the catch, putting a couple balls on the carpet. They weren't happy. A few balls should have been caught this past week that we're not replay assistance. Couldn't save him on commander's survival. Yeah, big, big thanks to all of you for listening today. It's been a great show. Lewis Riddick was fantastic podcast that Austin nuclear was tremendous podcast that John Carlson was terrific podcast that tomorrow's show should be really good. We'll get a deep breakdown on the O line from Will Montgomery at three. We've got Steve Mary, who cheated talk, Jaden Daniels, commanders, NFL Ravens match up at six o'clock. Should be a really good Wednesday program. We're going to have a whole lot of fun. Everything's fun, by the way, when the team is four and one and good, like it's just, it's fun to come to work, dude. I could get used to this for Daris and Ryan Grant and Danny saying so long and also Leroy. Thank you for coming.
