[SPEAKER_01]: And then following Mike, we have Salakata and our train of thoughts segment.

[SPEAKER_01]: I spent an afternoon recently at CBS's NFL Media Day, talked to a lot of the talent there, so I give you a recap of that, so make sure you [SPEAKER_01]: Check out the trainer thought segment with Sal.

[SPEAKER_01]: Look at it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Before we get to it, just some updates here on the pod.

[SPEAKER_01]: Great run of guess.

[SPEAKER_01]: We had Cody Rhodes is a bonus pod from the WWE earlier this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're a wrestling fan, check out Cody.

[SPEAKER_01]: He was outstanding.

[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of great feedback from [SPEAKER_01]: Non-Rustling fans about how much they enjoyed Cody.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that was good.

[SPEAKER_01]: So to make sure you listen to that one.

[SPEAKER_01]: Last week's pod featured two interviews, John O'Ran from Puck and Katie Nolan from Series XM.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's get to it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Michael, tune your followed by train of thoughts.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right here right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: On SI media with Jimmy Trana.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, join me now.

[SPEAKER_01]: He is part of TNT's college football coverage now, which we will have to get into.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's also half of Golik and Golik, which Golik is it?

[SPEAKER_01]: It is my Golik.

[SPEAKER_01]: Junior, my core.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing well.

[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate you having me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Always the great debate here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I came from a show where my name was technically first on the day as and so to make sure dad didn't get ticked off with me this time, we just tried to cloud it up as much as we can.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Golik and Golik is versatile enough where sometimes you can be first, sometimes he can be first.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like fulfilling the prophecy, like obviously everyone knows dad from Mike and Mike, and so we just spun it all the way to its logical conclusion now.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I do want to talk about that a little bit, but let's start with this big, big time here for you because you're going to be a full-time analyst now for TNT in the college football game, TNT has the big, twelve games this year.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think they should they only had the mountain west.

[SPEAKER_01]: How many games did you do last year for TNT?

[SPEAKER_00]: I did four last year for them in the mountain west.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and then this year, you got a full schedule as the analyst for the big, twelve on TNT.

[SPEAKER_01]: You'll work the first game August, thirty at Hawaii at Arizona.

[SPEAKER_01]: How are you feeling about a full-time schedule as a college football analyst this year?

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, truly could not be more thankful like humble to be a part of this.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I, I, [SPEAKER_00]: I was fortunate to get to play college football at something I've loved my entire life.

[SPEAKER_00]: And when I was at ESPN, I got to cover it there.

[SPEAKER_00]: I worked my way up to by the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: I left.

[SPEAKER_00]: I had been a full time analyst in the twenty twenty one season of the twenty twenty seasons there.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then I had done radio games for a litre field for two years.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then after that booth got shut down, I wasn't sure I was going to get this opportunity again.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, having been so fortunate early in my career, you don't want to say you took it for granted, but all of a sudden when you're at risk of losing something that means as much to this as to me as this does, to get this, you know, lifeline thrown my way and get an opportunity to continue to do this, let alone with someone who's as great a partner as the folks at TNTR.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a blessing and so to, you know, the opportunity last year in those four games, [SPEAKER_00]: The goal was to go into trying to do the best we could in those games and to put on a great show and to do right by those teams.

[SPEAKER_00]: And just like back when I was a player, like use the reps that you get to hopefully earn an opportunity for more reps.

[SPEAKER_00]: And thankfully, someone making the decisions decided that that was a good idea to bring me and JB back and now to get to work with Koywire and Ali LaForce and the rest of the crew in studio, it's just [SPEAKER_01]: truly a blessing like I cannot thank them enough for this opportunity and I look forward to the chance to go out there and prove them right I should have mentioned Michael be calling those big twelve TNT games with JB long and you know it is funny I [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to sit here and do sort of an act.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have to be completely honest.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had completely forgotten TNT had the big, twelve this year.

[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like I've had so much trouble over the last couple of years with the college football landscape.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's still like the big ten on CBS.

[SPEAKER_01]: I still haven't gotten used to that and the big ten's on NBC and the SEC now's at the ESPN and it's just such a [SPEAKER_01]: Hodgepodge.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it'll be interesting when people discover the big twelve on TNT, especially week one, Hawaii at ours, zone of there with you guys.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's exciting.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's your point, like the landscape of watching sports in general and television has changed so much in the last, I mean, half decade, let alone the last decade.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I think what we saw last year and the feedback that we got around the mountain west from, you know, I had officials coming up to his pre game talking about how much they appreciated.

[SPEAKER_00]: the care that everyone put into the broadcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a credit.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, all of the producers, directors, everyone that we worked with is the same folks that were helping make inside the NBA successful for so many years.

[SPEAKER_00]: And you saw very quickly why they've been so successful.

[SPEAKER_00]: The way that they approached this, the amount of thought and effort that everyone puts into their role on the team.

[SPEAKER_00]: And people around the conference noticed that very quickly.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that'll be the same case this year with the big twelve.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're just at consummate professionals.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's true too of getting to work with JB, which was so fun last year.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like it was hilarious the timing.

[SPEAKER_00]: I did not know JB until last year.

[SPEAKER_00]: I knew of him being out here in Los Angeles, but meet a times as a friend of mine as part of the Rams preseason broadcast booth and was going to training camp at LMU last year when the Rams were down there.

[SPEAKER_00]: And said, hey, do you want to come along and just do a hangout?

[SPEAKER_00]: I hadn't seen her and caught up with her in a while.

[SPEAKER_00]: And when we were going over, she's like, you got to beat my friend JB.

[SPEAKER_00]: He does a phenomenal job.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here is a great guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then we, you know, made the Notre Dame connection as well.

[SPEAKER_00]: Both of us alums there.

[SPEAKER_00]: JB was the first person I ran into out of practice.

[SPEAKER_00]: We talked.

[SPEAKER_00]: We had a great time that day.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then the next day found out that we were going to be partners together in that broadcast booth.

[SPEAKER_00]: So really wild timing on that and could not have, I mean, instant chemistry with the two of us in a way that made last year so much fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: It makes this year something we're really looking forward to.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you got the taste list.

[SPEAKER_01]: You with the four games.

[SPEAKER_01]: Did it like turn from a taste to an itch and you were like, I want a full time schedule.

[SPEAKER_01]: was that the goal going into this season was to get a full slate like you have this year with their team games this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's always been my goal.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love college football.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love the chance to tell these stories and to get to, you know, live and die with fans on Saturdays.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the most unique part about this job in sports media.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I love the TV stuff that I get to do with dad.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love the podcast and radio work that I've gotten to do, but there's just nothing like [SPEAKER_00]: being in the stadium for a game that you've got to read and react to be prepared for.

[SPEAKER_00]: I tell guys all the time that are finishing up playing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the closest you're going to get to preparing for a game like a player.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the goal was always to get back to doing a full slate and just try and put myself in the best position possible to do that and to go out and put good stuff on tape.

[SPEAKER_01]: it's funny I mentioned that the television landscape has changed so much and will continue to change as we saw that you know last week with all these deals with direct to consumer with his pen and box and all this other stuff that we you have seen everything changing I still don't even I still struggle with the conferences because we're not thinking okay so Mike's going to be doing big twelve I'm thinking okay Texas Oklahoma Kansas State Kansas and then it's Hawaii and Arizona [SPEAKER_01]: So I would think that's kind of cool though, like, that you get to do a Hawaii at Arizona.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's like an off-the-beaten path, but you've got the die-hards watching those, the die-hards in the degenerates or the ones watching those games.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's an interesting audience you gotta cater to there.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would say Hawaii football, the official school of the degenerates across this country, but a program that itself has been fascinating in the last number of years, but you're right, the big twelve football, the big cold conference imprint overall, conference that spans from out west with the Arizona schools that you've got.

[SPEAKER_00]: You taught that joined up to UCF and Cincinnati and all these teams in the eastern time zone.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's such an amazing depth and breadth.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was talking to someone the other day, just it feels like in a day and age where college football is changing so much.

[SPEAKER_00]: When you look at the depth of teams that you feel like really have a shot to win the big twelve this year, it feels like a throwback because it feels like it's anyone's conference up for grabs going into this season.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've got great quarterbacks, you know, you mentioned Arizona week one, Noah Fofita a name that maybe after last year, [SPEAKER_00]: people don't think about as readily, but go back to that twenty twenty three season with what him and Tettaro and McMillan were doing and it was incredible so as they, you know, as he continues to find his footing, this is a conference that like the rest of college football is really deep with interesting quarterback names and interesting stories overall in a way that makes it a ton of fun.

[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be, oh, I Arizona, I know like that's a game for some reason.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I just see those teams for some reason.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, I'm intrigued by that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be, I'll be watching that game for sure with a wager.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm seeing a wager's.

[SPEAKER_01]: Golik and Golik is a fandle show.

[SPEAKER_01]: You guys are on three to five Eastern.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it's interesting, I had Katie Nolan on the podcast last week, and she actually mentioned you during the show.

[SPEAKER_01]: And we got into this discussion where Katie sort of vented about, she's not a fan of the infiltration of like all the gambling stuff during telecasts.

[SPEAKER_01]: And she's specifically mentioned, she doesn't want to see it really getting into red zone as well, now that the SPN is there with red zone.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just curious, where's you work for Fandles?

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you have to, you can't sit here and say you're anti-gambling, but in terms of like doing the game, will you try to slip in any references to points, spreads, or overunders?

[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have, have you thought about that?

[SPEAKER_01]: You haven't thought about that.

[SPEAKER_01]: What's the philosophy there?

[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't thought about it too much, but I'm never opposed to it just because in my mind, it's always just been a different way to present information and tell people in a language that increasingly more people speak, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: I think all as sports betting has become increasingly available on mobile and things like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: more people speak the language of overunders, odds, points, spreads, things like that, that are just another way to tell the story.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I look at our job as in the booth is to tell the story of these two teams going into that particular day.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the way that Vegas views the points spread in the difference between those two teams is a part of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, they're win total for the season.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just another way to talk the same way you would if you had still, you know, I know the big twelve didn't do the pre-season coaches pull this year because of how things went a year ago, but it's another way to kind of tell that story.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so, [SPEAKER_00]: I understand like my big thing in the midst of all this is always how players are treated, like I saw Michael Porter Jr.

[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about that today, talked about some of the messages that he gets from betters that obviously what his brother went through there is a totally different story, but making sure we do a good job of continuing to protect the players from that and remind fans that hey, if you want to wage your responsibly on sports, that's your choice and you can go out there and do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that doesn't mean we get to all the sudden, just forget the humanity of people involved.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, sports gambling wasn't legal, but I remember being in college and having teammates get death threats.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like we were early social media when I was at Notre Dame and guys would make a mistake in a game that hey, it might not have cost someone a bet, but it cost them their team success on the field.

[SPEAKER_00]: And now all the sudden, you got to call campus security.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got to, you know, move differently around school.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's a reality I've seen up close.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not great for anybody.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so we've got to, you know, guard against the frequency of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: goes.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just curious with that experience.

[SPEAKER_01]: Was that so with those players getting the messages through social media?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: And this was in the early days of social media when it wasn't, I mean, now it's just so bad.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's crazy.

[SPEAKER_01]: So what, like, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that was, so even back then, that was still going on with the [SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And like back then, I always say like we were the day walkers.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I came up without social media, got it like my junior year college and we were in in the early stages where you started to get some of that access.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now this generation of players has grown up and like we all can just say like, oh, get off your phones, but this generation that's grown up with that, where the friends are, where they get their news and information, like [SPEAKER_00]: That's the information hub, and so it's not as simple as saying, just get off it, even if we'd all like to do that every once in a while, the disconnect.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so having that constant den of negative noise in your ears, that's corrosive for anybody, let alone young people were still trying to figure out their lives.

[SPEAKER_01]: I could see someone in the NFL.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think I just saw Josh Allen talking about how he doesn't do social media or at least doesn't do Twitter.

[SPEAKER_01]: But in college, that's a lot to ask.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's really how [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that age group to have that discipline.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, stay off your phone.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, don't use social media.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it sounds good to say that, but it doesn't seem realistic in any way.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you're from plus like those kids.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I sound like such an old man, but like they, I mean, they use their phones to live their lives, whether it's to order your dashers or to pay someone with Ben Bow.

[SPEAKER_01]: They watch everything on the phone.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like the phone is always going to be in their hand.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it just seems like I don't know where we're going with it, but it's it's all bad.

[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like [SPEAKER_00]: It is, but I think it's also an opportunity, especially college campuses.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I remember, we had team meetings where our coaching staff would bring in an outside group to talk to us about how to engage with social media the right way then.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that was in terms of what we posted reminding you that there are people reading watching listening to what you say.

[SPEAKER_00]: I did training camp with the New Orleans Saints when Sean Payton was the coach.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he always would step to meetings and say, [SPEAKER_00]: Every time you author a tweet, you're stepping to the podium and tapping the microphone in your own personal press conference.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so that was sort of what we were being coached on.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now you'd hope that it's the other way where it's coaching guys on how to have a healthy relationship with this, you know, with sports psychology being as prolific as it is, with players, you know, using therapy as a way to manage all of this, becoming something that's increasingly more talked about by high profile athletes.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that there are [SPEAKER_00]: things in place and systems around these big time college programs available professional players that can try and help them manage what is like you said a huge part of life right wrong or indifferent it's the reality and so figuring out how to deal with that handle that better.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's paramount on the people that are a part of all these leagues.

[SPEAKER_01]: But when you were in college at Notre Dame, and then in the NFL there with the Saints, and I think you with one other team was at the Rams.

[SPEAKER_01]: Steelers.

[SPEAKER_01]: Steelers.

[SPEAKER_01]: Steelers.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know it was yellow.

[SPEAKER_01]: Did you think back then?

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, if this doesn't work out.

[SPEAKER_01]: media is always an option based off watching your father and knowing what your father not and I don't meet it from a nepotism standpoint I just meant from you enjoyed that profession and it seemed like what we did you have it like as a fallback for you [SPEAKER_01]: back then.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and listen, I mean, the, the nepotism conversation is one I can't run from.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a part of life.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to even have it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's stupid.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we, I don't even want to have it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just wondering about what, what, how you thought about getting it.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you thought about media, even as a player.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I always tell people like my dad, yeah, played nine years in the NFL, but I was young when that happened.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have memories of my dad as a player.

[SPEAKER_00]: I had memories of him as a broadcaster and personality wise.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was similar to my dad.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was always holding court and whatever locker room I was in going back to high school.

[SPEAKER_00]: I liked that element of conversation in and around the sport.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, from the time I was in high school, I knew this was something that I wanted to do whenever my playing days were done.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was fortunate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Notre Dame didn't have a communications program, but film and television was my major.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got to learn about it a lot there.

[SPEAKER_00]: We talk about burgeoning social media.

[SPEAKER_00]: YouTube was just starting to become a thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: The behind the scenes content capture for teams was just starting to become a thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so fighting Irish media now is this huge property, then was in its infancy and me and a teammate of mine brand and Newman got to do a lot of that team behind the scenes stuff got to do a lot of video content for the team that ended up being great early reps for this and so between that getting a tag along with my dad when you know him and Dave Barnett Bill Curry were calling college football games and I was a kid going see bowl games like all of those are early core memories where I was like this is awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why wouldn't I want to do this?

[SPEAKER_01]: It's my favorite time of the year.

[SPEAKER_01]: The NFL season is almost here in fantasy football is in full swing.

[SPEAKER_01]: This season Yahoo Fantasy is taking it up a notch and giving you a fantasy football experience like never before.

[SPEAKER_01]: This year I'm playing on Yahoo Fantasy and you should, too, whether you're a first timer or a veteran making your millionth league.

[SPEAKER_01]: What I love about Yahoo Fantasy is the easy to use interface, simple, straightforward, and very, very quick with the scoring all important things when you play fantasy football.

[SPEAKER_01]: Celebrate twenty-eight years of fantasy football greatness.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yahoo Fantasy is dropping twenty-eight big new features over twenty-eight days throughout August.

[SPEAKER_01]: To kick it off, they just drop Yahoo Fantasy, guillotine leagues, a killer new way to play fantasy football on Yahoo, where the lowest scoring team gets eliminated each week until there's one team left standing.

[SPEAKER_01]: With the season around the corner, now is the time to get your league together and give this new mode a try.

[SPEAKER_01]: Stay tuned for more killer announcements and start playing Yahoo Fantasy football now at YahooFantasy.com slash SI media that's YahooFantasy.com slash SI media.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just curious, because you said you were a film and television major.

[SPEAKER_01]: What was the curriculum or some of these assignments?

[SPEAKER_01]: What was that class like?

[SPEAKER_01]: Sounds fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is the full gamut from like, you know, you took film and television theory when you first start off.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the one to like weed everyone off.

[SPEAKER_00]: where you watch these movies and art films and have to learn about that stuff to, you know, I got to take classes over it.

[SPEAKER_00]: WndU is the stadium of the station right on Notre Dame's campus that used to be a Notre Dame property.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I got to go over there and take like writing for television classes and talk about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I took TV genres as a class [SPEAKER_00]: So it really ran the gamut across the board and was more of like a general film and television, but there were pockets where with, you know, professors of mine, you know, God rest your soul, the late Karen Highsler who was one of my, you know, most often taken the teacher I had most often was one that really kind of helped hone a lot of those skills that were later on go to help me out in this.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I was a journalism.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I wasn't a journalism.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was a broadcast major.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was in college.

[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, there were some classes you thought, wow, I can't believe this is an actual class.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, not the class itself, but like when you were doing like a lesson.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I would imagine filming TV.

[SPEAKER_01]: I remember there was one day where I don't, like, it was a discussion about like the most classic TV shows.

[SPEAKER_01]: every kid in the class was trying to say the Brady bunch and the professor who was like probably in his like fifties or sixties was not having it was a big fight in the course so that that always looks out to me when I think about my broadcast [SPEAKER_01]: major it in college.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, we, I remember we sat one class and broke down the entire open of like the opening credits montage of the show true blood that vampire show on each of you at the time and going like frame by frame looking for all these little subtle clues like it is amazing the stuff that qualified as school work.

[SPEAKER_00]: No doubt.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Thank God.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, give me the best and worst thing about working with your dad on a daily basis.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mean it's specific to you.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it could be specific to your dad, but just it's your dad.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like what is that like?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think that's the worst.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's the cool part is what you mentioned there is like broad scope.

[SPEAKER_00]: Those are the coolest notes that we've gotten our people that also work with a parent or work with this a child who kind of see a little bit of their relationship and what we do best part is just like [SPEAKER_00]: Both of us know where the other can can go and will go on pretty much every subject.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I always joke, you're not going to find many other co-hosts where one white the others ask at some point as a kid.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's just a level of like a knowledge the experience as it we've had together.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was there through all of my sports experiences.

[SPEAKER_00]: I watch, you know, from the cheap seed.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you can just go anywhere.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's not like I have to ever guard against something like we can [SPEAKER_00]: We have such a free reign to go there and it's so natural.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's what we did on the couch for so many years growing up.

[SPEAKER_00]: The worst part is well, and I guess I should say too for me like [SPEAKER_00]: The amount I've gotten to learn about preparation and the approach to this job and multiple facets.

[SPEAKER_00]: I get to call games with my dad early on on radio at ESPN, on TV for bull games, obviously doing radio early in my career with him.

[SPEAKER_00]: There was so much that when I reflected years later, once I actually kind of had a better understanding in my feet underneath of just how much he did to help me on air in terms of my growth.

[SPEAKER_00]: And when I learned watching him prepare to all that, seeing that up close invaluable.

[SPEAKER_00]: worst part is tech support.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like my dad's a sixty two year old man going on sixty three in a day and age or we're doing remote shows and having to deal with his various questions about technology.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have a renewed appreciation for my mom who has to do that every day as tech support for him for the rest of life.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have like a three four hour window during the day where I have to be IT for dad in addition to being as co-host.

[SPEAKER_01]: As you dad ever called you and told you the volume doesn't work in his TV and then you went there and he had volume up on the remote and then it worked because it was at zero.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I mean, the amount, the amount of time stuff like that, the password for Netflix on his iPad.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's, it's things that just, and again, he is, he is, and his words opted out of learning.

[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's done enough learning in his lifetime.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's on me and my mom to get him through a bunch of the new technology for the stage in his career.

[SPEAKER_01]: The passwords are a major problem, major problem, because it's, this site wants a capital letter, this site wants a character, this site, you need fourteen characters, and yeah, and I try to explain it to my dad.

[SPEAKER_01]: He just gets frustrated.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I feel you on that one.

[SPEAKER_01]: I feel you on that one.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you dad obviously part of this huge radio show with Mike and Mike on ESPN.

[SPEAKER_01]: The end there was I would, I would characterize it as ugly.

[SPEAKER_01]: I guess was that hard on you.

[SPEAKER_01]: Your dad was very open and interviews after that talking about sort of the demise of that show, which was surprising because it had done so well.

[SPEAKER_01]: As, as his son, I would imagine that was pretty rough watching your dad sort of [SPEAKER_01]: go through that.

[SPEAKER_01]: How did that?

[SPEAKER_01]: What was that like for you?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it was because you always want to see the best for him and see him happiest.

[SPEAKER_00]: And you could certainly tell it wasn't what he wanted at that point.

[SPEAKER_00]: And my dad's a guy that's usually as go with the flow as anybody.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think, and treats people the right way, I think that was the most gratifying part, because the weird combination of that is [SPEAKER_00]: The end of Mike and Mike coincided with my dad starting goal like a window and that was when we got to start working together.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so here's this, you know, end of something that had been, you know, so singularly great in the world of national morning sports talk and will likely never be replicated again.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the other side of that is the opportunity for us to start working together.

[SPEAKER_00]: on a daily basis and it started with an hour and it morphed into more than that.

[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, I think for dad, the thing that always stuck out to me was no matter what was going on around him, the way that he treated people in the process and like that was reflected when we did his last show on ESPN radio with goalic and win go years later like coming off the pandemic.

[SPEAKER_00]: And just seeing the outpouring from fans who had grown up watching him and our colleagues who had gone on to start them and who had gotten their start and been touched in some way, whether it was working on Mike and Mike or working with dad on something else and the things that they had to say about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: To me that was my just biggest takeaway from it is there's gonna be a million things you can't control about all of this it's very much like sports in that way and no one knows that better than my dad who is you know a former tenth round draft pickaway to fight for everything he got the NFL but it's all you can control is what you bring in terms of preparation every day and how you treat your teammates in the process and you know seeing the way that no matter what happened with the rest of that noise wise [SPEAKER_00]: He continued to go about doing that to me was one of the strongest examples of what I try and emulate now as a broadcaster.

[SPEAKER_00]: No matter what the job is, no matter what the venue is, no matter what the medium is.

[SPEAKER_01]: You talked about doing Golic and Wingo with your dad.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now you have the fandle show with your dad.

[SPEAKER_01]: What is changed in terms of how you do a show from that show to this show?

[SPEAKER_01]: What's different?

[SPEAKER_01]: Is it because of the way content is consumed?

[SPEAKER_01]: Or do you have to pound certain topics this time?

[SPEAKER_01]: It was, you know, now it's fandle before is he spins so it's a different.

[SPEAKER_01]: But in terms of the content of the show, same thing, just talk sports or have you had to adjust?

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, no, I would say it still feels pretty similar.

[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, for for Norby Williams and everyone who's in charge over at fan dual sports net, like, they kind of told us they wanted us to do our show.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there's some different elements.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's on TV, you know, our production staff.

[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of them came over from Sports Center at ESPN, you know, Kevin Sanchez, who's our lead producer.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I [SPEAKER_00]: They're elements of that that are more television than the radio background.

[SPEAKER_00]: We came up and even if it was simultaneous and you know by the end of Mike and Mike maybe more TV than it was radio in a lot of ways, but I think honestly the biggest difference is just I feel like I'm I'm in a different role number one like on that show with dad and tray tray was the host that was driving the ship dad was the analyst and I was that third chair.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I was the third voice you would hear I kind of took the opportunity to poke and prod them a little bit I was young they had been up early and were older [SPEAKER_00]: I kind of, you know, got them a little bit rattle as we started to go in the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now for me, it's trying to find a way as someone who is in that more host role with dad being the analyst is trying to find a way to drive the ship in that way, but also play some of that analyst role to kind of live with both hats on, which is a fun challenge every day at something I really enjoy expanding that skill set of [SPEAKER_00]: figuring out how to be a better host and to do a lot of these things better, you know, we work off a shot sheet now.

[SPEAKER_00]: I never did that when we were doing radio and so learning how to do that's been a ton of fun is now this migrates more into TV, but as far as the nuts and bolts and what we do sports the content that ends up doing well, the stuff you taught [SPEAKER_00]: about nationally, which is something I always learned from dad, you know, the approach of tree topping big subjects across all sports versus the deep dive that can come on a podcast or local TV and radio is just so different.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think in a lot of those ways, it stayed pretty similar to what we've done all along.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm curious because I feel like [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to just observe this stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like social media is played a significant role in sort of your success in landing jobs and getting jobs and gaining followers.

[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like a, you know, same thing for me on a smaller basis.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now social media has become so horrific.

[SPEAKER_01]: and just so awful on so many levels.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like I was lucky that I was in on it before it got to this point, but do you find it to challenge now to still use social media to help your career because it's gotten so bad?

[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to just focus on your job where the social media still play a big role for you in what you do.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think my patterns are still really ingrained on those sites.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's different now.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's more of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I post on blue sky and threads in addition to Twitter.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to be more active on Instagram and things like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's gotten considerably less social just because between the box, the nastiness of the comment section, the things that the algorithms on different sites reward.

[SPEAKER_00]: you're less interactive like I met so many of my friends in sports media on social you would I always told people that was the cadence you would see someone's work on Twitter get to know him on there and then meet him at the Super Bowl of the national championship game and then become friends in real life and there's still some of that that happens but I found it's a lot more output now like I tell people all the time especially you know now when I'm able to talk to which is wild the thing like I always see myself as the younger person and now [SPEAKER_00]: there's a whole generation of people in sports media and journalists coming up like it's a great place to have your resume still all our bosses look there like the media at large is still getting a lot of stuff from social and so clips of our show that go out there you know stuff I do in games all that it's it's another place to put that that's a living breathing representation of the work that you're doing on a number of platforms at this point which is also something that's become a lot more common and so I'm less engaged and that part of that stinks like [SPEAKER_00]: It's fun to talk to strangers and talk to friends and talk to people there.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that happens a lot less often now.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I know specifically with you, you do a lot of food stuff, which I think is like a perfect thing for social media.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it used to be, you could do something on food and have some fun with it and people would really enjoy it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But even now, you do something on food and someone tells you you're an asshole.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's, it's really depressing to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I, I, I, I, I saw like you were doing stuff with the Reese's Oreo thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm a big racist guy, but I'm not an Oreo guy.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't know like, do I, do I try it?

[SPEAKER_01]: Do I, you know, dive in?

[SPEAKER_01]: What would you, what would you recommend?

[SPEAKER_00]: I think you'd enjoy the experience because I would say I went into it.

[SPEAKER_00]: with, you know, cautious optimism is too big brands coming together.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no groups that do the funky.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I love the snacks where it's like trying weird stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like they did the sour patch Oreos a while back, Reese's has all these different varieties of their snacks.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a high bar to clear.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the, the tried and true Reese's peanut butter cup that they put the Oreo cookie inside.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was, you know, white chocolate, milk chocolate, and had the cookie crumbles in it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that was the best of the bunch.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so if you're a Reese's guy, [SPEAKER_00]: It's based like a Reese's peanut butter crop with a little bit of cookie crunch at the bottom that I thought was a ton of fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you'll enjoy that one.

[SPEAKER_00]: The minis are good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Oreo cookie with the Reese's filling could have been a double stuff and that would have taken it to the next level, but it was good.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's worth your time.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not nearly as adventurous as you.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I sort of also, I have this philosophy which probably goes against everything you believe, which is like the Reese's peanut butter cup is perfect.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's pure perfection.

[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing needs to be done.

[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing needs to be added.

[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing don't mess with perfection.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I know people want as much stuff thrown at the kitchen sink as possible and add as much stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm the opposite.

[SPEAKER_01]: Just give me the beautiful simplicity.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and so you're actually like the audience that I most want to reach with this because you're right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like the standard tie for a lot of the OG stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's been long lasting for a reason.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so my whole goal in doing this is I've figured out like we talk all the time like, you know, what's your goal on radio versus your goal in the booth when you're trying to talk to an audience versus podcast versus a live stream.

[SPEAKER_00]: My goal with these is to be able to tell people, if you're going into the gas station and you got choices, you're getting ready to load up for a road trip.

[SPEAKER_00]: should you take the chance and reaching for this as opposed to the tried and true Reese's peanut butter cup that's treated you good your entire life and so I want to get out and help people if they aren't as adventurous feel a little more comfortable taking that risk with something different the next time they're near the checkout counter getting tempted by all the stuff up there got you [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the check it gets overwhelming now at the checkout counter.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's like ten different kinds of reasons peanut butter cups.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, wait, can I just get the original please?

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know, let me throw this food question out.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're in L.A.

[SPEAKER_01]: You said, yeah, do they have crumble cookie out there?

[SPEAKER_00]: They do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they do.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do they have chip city out there?

[SPEAKER_00]: I have not seen Chip City.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I've seen from one.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I've seen in so many out here, but no chip city.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: I had, I had, um, WWE champion Cody Rhodes on the pot earlier this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: He was a big crumble cookie guy, and I had to take that chip city is better.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought you'd be a perfect guy to weigh in, but I think Chip City might only be East Coast right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am Googling it as we speak.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's so funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a kid.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, all right.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not seeing chip city in Los Angeles.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing San Diego.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if I get down to San Diego.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, nope.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was wrong on that one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Chip city is in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.

[SPEAKER_00]: So next time on that, Connecticut, visiting some old friends, I will get back to you on that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is there a big team on the east coast now the might be with everything that changed I mean who knows maybe you'll get here for a game and you can get a chip city [SPEAKER_00]: I'll get close to nothing.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm rooting for a game at Cincinnati at some point to get out there by Grader's ice cream family.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't had them, that's the one you need to try.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Grader's ice cream.

[SPEAKER_01]: And that's incency.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: It wouldn't surprise me if there was a big, twelve game somewhere on the East Coast, given the I have a buddy of mine as a huge cost for both.

[SPEAKER_01]: And we always joke that like Oregon Rockers is now a big, big, ten game every year.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, what do I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm walking around down this, that was my running joke when I lived in Manhattan Beach for a while when I would walk around down by the beach and see UCLA and USC hats on my goat.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're in big ten country now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's interesting to think about.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: But it all works out because TNT has the big twelve package this year.

[SPEAKER_01]: A big twelve package I should say.

[SPEAKER_01]: And Mike Gole Jr will be calling the games with JB long full time week one August thirty of Hawaii at Arizona.

[SPEAKER_01]: So make sure you check that out.

[SPEAKER_01]: Appreciate you coming on Mike and joining the season and if you get a chip city, let me know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for having me and we'll definitely be on the lookout for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Appreciate it.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, be well.

[SPEAKER_01]: Take care.

[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, joining me now as he does every week for our training thought segment from WFAN or radio in New York.

[SPEAKER_01]: SNY TV in New York.

[SPEAKER_01]: My buddy Salacata Sal.

[SPEAKER_01]: How you doing here is we hit the dog days of August.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to football season.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think like everybody else, but enjoying the summer.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: I got a big taste of football, we're taping on Wednesday afternoon, pods out every Thursday for those of you who don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: On Tuesday, CBS every year, CBS has a media day where basically it's people who cover the sports media landscape, you know, Marshan, Neil Best, Austin Carp.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, don't want to leave anyone out.

[SPEAKER_01]: But Alex Sherman, myself, they, they host this day where all of their NFL talent is there.

[SPEAKER_01]: Most of it, you know, people have scheduling conflicts and we get to chat with them and CBS makes these announcements.

[SPEAKER_01]: So as they're on Tuesday, and it was, they announced that for week, it's going to be the fiftyth anniversary of the NFL today.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and, um, [SPEAKER_01]: So to celebrate week three, the NFL today will do a throwback edition of the NFL today with the old graphics and the old theme music and Brett Musberg will be in studio.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I put that note on Twitter.

[SPEAKER_01]: I could not believe the reaction.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was people were over the moon about that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you look this idea.

[SPEAKER_02]: You were championing this idea weeks ago.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I need brain every week, but I'll take the I'll take him in week three.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and I hope CBS lets him do his thing, but that should be, you know, for pre game shows, which, which you can make the argument are pretty stale and they're all the same.

[SPEAKER_01]: This should stand out and if there's one you're going to tune into week three CBS.

[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, would be one you want to check out.

[SPEAKER_01]: And Brent was at this event via Zoom and had tremendous energy.

[SPEAKER_01]: Look great.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it'll be great.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Is he the only throwback that they're bringing back?

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he's the only living one I think because, you know, of course, his past, Jimmy, the Greek his past, fellas, George's past.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, he's the only one who can come back.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it'll be good.

[SPEAKER_01]: And they also announced that and I like this move a lot.

[SPEAKER_01]: This was something else I wanted to see because it happened.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think he did it two or three weeks last season.

[SPEAKER_01]: When you're watching a CBS game, now for those of you who watch red zone, you probably don't care about this salina and not red zone people.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we're into this.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you're watching a CBS game and they go to a game break to tell you what's happening in another game, they used to go to the studio and it used to either be James Brown or Bill Coward, Nate Burlison, who would be the highlight.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's going to be Adam Shine, who is really perfect for that role with the excitement, the pipes.

[SPEAKER_01]: So [SPEAKER_01]: I think that'll be a very fun new part of CBS's NFL coverage.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm looking forward to that.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's every week.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sean's got that every week.

[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_02]: Gotta text him congrats.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's a huge deal.

[SPEAKER_02]: There probably, would you think that that's grooming him to eventually replace JB?

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'd go that far.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think that everyone sort of thinks Nate Burlison will be the one who does that.

[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a perfect role for shine.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's got the perfect, could you like, you know, think about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're watching, you know, let's say you're watching a shitty jet game, which is often the case.

[SPEAKER_01]: And whoever's doing that check game, let's say it's cattle on and he says, Oh, for game break, let's go to, you know, Adam shine in the CBS studio and he's showing you a Joe borrow some of the art past to Jamar Chase shines perfect for that to like convey that excitement and and [SPEAKER_01]: set the scene in the moment.

[SPEAKER_01]: So happy for shine.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that'll be fun part of the cover.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's still doing the top's pre game show, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, the top show is going to be no more because they're this year.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's over because what CBS is doing now is they're going to create [SPEAKER_01]: a new pregame show that starts at ten a.m.

[SPEAKER_01]: called the NFL today plus right that's going to be on power mount and the CBS YouTube channel okay because it's all about digital and getting you know that I wrote this actually in my common Wednesday like these networks are in an interesting place [SPEAKER_01]: They need to cater to sort of the people who are our age, like we love this Brent Musberg or thing, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: But someone who's like, twenty-five in under, couldn't care less.

[SPEAKER_01]: We love that.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then you have the people who are twenty-five in under.

[SPEAKER_01]: have who don't watch TV and don't know what television is and watch everything on an iPad or a phone.

[SPEAKER_01]: And these networks are in a tough spot because they got a catered to both of those audiences.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, not a ton of people were watching the CBS Sports Network on cable on Sunday mornings from eight to eleven or whatever it was.

[SPEAKER_01]: So now the play is to get younger, go digital, and put a pregame show on Paramount [SPEAKER_01]: And YouTube, make the best.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now who's on that?

[SPEAKER_02]: Is that the scene casts his tops?

[SPEAKER_01]: They have not announced the cast.

[SPEAKER_01]: I tried to get that information yesterday, but it was not, they did not give out that information.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it was good.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I bucked to Jim Nans for a while.

[SPEAKER_01]: He made an interesting point to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: For CB, no, I said the gym, you know, I think CB S is in such great shape because they get my homes borrow an Allen all the time.

[SPEAKER_01]: But he said their season really a lot of it could depend on Aaron Rogers and the Steelers because the Steelers are good.

[SPEAKER_01]: They've got the Steelers play Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, late in the season.

[SPEAKER_01]: So Nancy thought was, if the Steelers are good, you're gonna see a lot of Steelers on CBS late in the season again, in good windows.

[SPEAKER_01]: So, so the Steelers are big for CBS there.

[SPEAKER_02]: The NFL is just so ethin big that we could sit here and get excited and talk about possible broadcast teams and matchup, so they're gonna air in week, sixteen instead of like it's absurd, how fast and anymore it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and speaking of which, the big change in terms of broadcast teams for Fox and CBS, and only Fox changed anything, and the one big change for CBS is JJ Wat is going to do the games with I and Eagle.

[SPEAKER_01]: Charles Davis, next year will become CBS's lead college football analyst.

[SPEAKER_01]: So this year it's Iron and JJ white with Evan Washburn on the sidelines.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're going to, you know, I talked to them for a little bit on Tuesday.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think Iron and JJ will be very good.

[SPEAKER_01]: They got good banter.

[SPEAKER_01]: Iron is everyone knows is historically funny.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they were making some jokes about how [SPEAKER_01]: Evan Washburn's hair is so great and I and JJ, you know, maybe don't look so similar could have some fun on camera with that.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think there'll be a good crew.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking forward to I and with JJ.

[SPEAKER_02]: The the one thing about I and and this is now no longer opinion.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is proven.

[SPEAKER_02]: He can work with anybody and make it the best broadcast possible.

[SPEAKER_02]: He is he's the best like I think he's the best in the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: I understand the answers in front of him for now and I understand how that works, but to me, there's nobody better than I and Eagle.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking very forward to here and I and JJ what do the games and Evan Washburn's hair in person is just immaculate.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's even better in person.

[SPEAKER_02]: You was think he was impressive in person.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've never met him.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was my first time ever really talking to him.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was a very nice guy and we had a good conversation and trying to think if there was anyone else.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, notable, but yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, though, you know, all the CBS people were there, but those are the big notes sort of Maddie ice.

[SPEAKER_02]: Did you bump elbows with Maddie ice?

[SPEAKER_01]: He was there.

[SPEAKER_01]: I did not speak to him.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't, you know, it's a big room and, you know, you bouncing around from person to person.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I did not get a chance.

[SPEAKER_01]: But Matt Ryan was working the room for sure.

[SPEAKER_01]: I should have told him the desk.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's Ryan Burleton, Howard, and JB, just a four of them.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's it, huh?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because JJ did it last year part time and now they're not replacing him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he leaves to go to the booth.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I had a great talk with Jason McCordy who does the games or cattle on because Jason McCordy just recently over the last couple of months for the first time ever watched the sopranos.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I said to him, like, I just think it's, could you imagine never seeing that show and just getting to watch it now for the first time?

[SPEAKER_01]: And so McCordy loved it.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we chatted about the sopranos, of course, had to do that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that's sort of the, you know, it's a shame Fox doesn't, you know, Fox is in LA.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we don't get an opportunity.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can't see them also like, you know, giving Tom Brady to everyone, letting everyone chat with Tom.

[SPEAKER_01]: But, um, yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that was that.

[SPEAKER_01]: What else did I want to get to?

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you'll appreciate this.

[SPEAKER_01]: So last night late.

[SPEAKER_01]: It must have been about like ten o'clock on Tuesday night.

[SPEAKER_01]: I get a text.

[SPEAKER_01]: Chase fraud detection.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell us like oh like and I just had like a fraud thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's only bullshit.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be gonna get sucked into that.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, here it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're ready.

[SPEAKER_01]: You're gonna love this.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is the text, nine fifty six PM on Tuesday.

[SPEAKER_01]: Chase fraud.

[SPEAKER_01]: We declined four hundred and eighty dollars on the card ending in blah, blah, blah.

[SPEAKER_01]: at Google YouTube Prime.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was the payment for Sunday ticket.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's how absurd the price is for some day ticket.

[SPEAKER_01]: The price of four hundred eighty dollars for some day ticket is so insane.

[SPEAKER_01]: Chase declined it for me.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was thinking about this because if he keeps seeing the commercials now, I don't know what, like, I don't know what's going on.

[SPEAKER_02]: Am I getting it renewed automatically?

[SPEAKER_02]: I have not gotten it.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was automatically.

[SPEAKER_02]: It does.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then, now remember, I have YouTube TV.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: But your price is way lower.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I got to keep checking on the bill.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't even know.

[SPEAKER_02]: These things all done digitally now.

[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I could just get the bills mail to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess would be, well, I shouldn't say because I don't know, but you pay monthly for YouTube TV.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I would imagine it would just be on one of your bills.

[SPEAKER_01]: What are you planning for YouTube TV?

[SPEAKER_02]: I got to check that out whatever it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: What do you pay a month from?

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm honestly not sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it started out as sixty nine ninety nine.

[SPEAKER_02]: It might have gone up.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's all over the place because I pay for that service, but then I also have, you know, Apple TV and the Disney.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I'm not sure which ones I got through which.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's all over the place.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't stand it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It drives me nuts.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I got it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know what you pay for YouTube TV for the whole for the Sunday ticket you mean.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_02]: For you like monthly cable bill, like, well, I'm pretty sure it's it's seventy bucks.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I got that through Verizon for the first like three years or so.

[SPEAKER_01]: And correct me from wrong.

[SPEAKER_01]: That does not include the SNL work in SNY, correct.

[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.

[SPEAKER_02]: That is correct.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's a problem.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, you have to do the separate streaming thing.

[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see Dolan's thing the other day?

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.

[SPEAKER_02]: He talked it well now I hope that this is real.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean you got for bid you see something could be a I will fuck knows what the way we get to news nowadays.

[SPEAKER_01]: Let's tell them the truth.

[SPEAKER_01]: Sal is all pissed off because right before we started recording he admitted to me he got fake by the he got faked out by the fake Odell Beckham Jr.

[SPEAKER_01]: Retirement things.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I saw it in my timeline.

[SPEAKER_02]: God forbid.

[SPEAKER_02]: I like it's Odo Beckham Junior retiring.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's not some groundbreaking earth shattering news.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, whatever.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's not with the team anyway.

[SPEAKER_02]: We're supposed to even start in a couple weeks.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I just assumed he retired.

[SPEAKER_02]: I saw chapter tweeted and that was that.

[SPEAKER_02]: And as I was explaining this on the radio live, my producer goes, uh, that was a fake thing.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, [SPEAKER_01]: Well, it wasn't chef to number one.

[SPEAKER_01]: And number two, my next question was going to be, did you do this on WFAN?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: On WFAN.

[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_01]: You have everything, my decision system needs to, I feel like needs to be maybe adjusted.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the one with the, um, the stadium that was one out there that there was going to baseball field, the dreams are going to build a replica polo grounds and have games like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think you remember that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that one, my producer texted me that and then I saw it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, OK, so that's his fault.

[SPEAKER_02]: This one.

[SPEAKER_01]: But you, but you can't get mad at your producer for getting duped when you get duped.

[SPEAKER_02]: That was his celebration today.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was just glad that we got to.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he thinks him off the camera.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he didn't care about the show.

[SPEAKER_02]: The information.

[SPEAKER_02]: He just cared that I got something wrong and not in.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I had something.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to remember it, but there was something last week that happened where I had it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I copied the link.

[SPEAKER_01]: I went to my group chat.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was ready fired off.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, let me double check this.

[SPEAKER_01]: And that wasn't, you know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if it's like a death or something big.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Dell Beckham Jr.

[SPEAKER_02]: retiring.

[SPEAKER_02]: Who gives a shit?

[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, what was the point of that?

[SPEAKER_02]: What was getting into?

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, James Dolan.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm pretty sure was James Dolan.

[SPEAKER_02]: Let's was AI was talking about how they would like to ideally have one.

[SPEAKER_02]: place to go with all New York sports teams, which got them sports right now has everybody, but I think the meds, which is just separate with SNY.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, right.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I get where he's coming from, if that statement is true, but I can't see the meds in Yankees and then like the, the, well, I mean, it's really just the meds in Yankees.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's nobody cares about the meds and nobody cares about the devils.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is what the mix range is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Because the jets and giants wouldn't be part of it, obviously.

[SPEAKER_02]: But would it be nice to have if you're into streaming?

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: One spot however much this is to get every New York spotlight for me and love that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right, but I think the only way that that ever happens is the Yankees and the Mets have to play nice with each other.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which I don't, I mean, I guess that's what Donald was alluding to, so we'll see.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like that, the NHL and NBA teams that they'll do it because, you know, they're not.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they already do.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think literally all, I'm pretty sure all of them are under the Gotham sports.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I have cables, so I don't need Gotham sports, cable for life.

[SPEAKER_01]: Plus the Mets and Yankees have way bigger fish to fry right now than their app.

[SPEAKER_01]: They've both got major problems.

[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of all the screws, you don't watch UFC, do you?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's the big thing now is if you are a UFC fan, it was a rare win for the sports fan because the paper of you think, I can't believe people were paying eighty dollars for these paper views on for UFC.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, but that's going away now.

[SPEAKER_02]: So now now all they have to do is pay the paramount plus correct correct.

[SPEAKER_02]: What if you had cable you still need paramount plus.

[SPEAKER_01]: Correct, I think they'll be I don't follow UFC, so I didn't pay to I think there'll be some fights on CBS Okay, but the paper views I guess are gonna be on Paramount plus so was this similar to ESPN WWE?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it sounds like it like we don't have to pay pay per view anymore if you have the ESPN or you know to pay pay per view if you have peacock right now It's it really was it started with peacock when the paper view for WWE went away [SPEAKER_02]: Why do you have to pay for a separate thing, but now if you have.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you had to pay for peacock right now you can fuse but it so like is is survivor series or WrestleMania going to be on ESPN.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you have linear cable.

[SPEAKER_01]: The WWE ESPN thing was very, very convoluted and like all the cable systems are affected differently.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I haven't written or spoke about it because I don't even know what's going on.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I could have sworn I read something that if you have like cable and linear ESPN, or you have you that WrestleMania will be like, for instance, I have rising files.

[SPEAKER_01]: ESPN is channel five, seven day.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think WrestleMania is going to be on channel five, seven day.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, but then I saw like, but not on Comcast or not on X finit like it's it's a mess.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I didn't even want to get into it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But the the UFC thing is interesting because they're giving up.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they got all this money from CBS billion dollars here, whatever it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: And now they're giving up.

[SPEAKER_02]: the paper views which from what I read I guess I like so many people like hundreds of thousands of people would watch illegal streams anyway so they weren't getting the money for the paper views okay but if you do you have paramount plus I actually do right now because we're into watching dexter which is like so paramount plus is like show time I didn't know that until we said right right so yes we do subscribe right now paramount plus [SPEAKER_01]: I could tell you this, that price will be going up in a major way.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I could tell you this, once Dexter finishes, we are out.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you are a canceler.

[SPEAKER_02]: You're good about canceling.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying like you get to messy, which in my OCD brain, like I'll cancel and then in three months of my gosh, shit, I need to watch something on peacock and then I go do it again and then then I have to cancel.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, so I'm a cancel or rebuy our cancel, rebuy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of people are not on top of it and that's how.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, these streaming companies make so much money.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm on top of it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what else?

[SPEAKER_01]: I hesitate to get into this because it's just such an unknown, but so many people have asked me over the past week about all this Howard Stern stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I just want to say this quickly to get it out there because I don't want to do it on Twitter because whenever I tweet about Howard on Twitter, I always just get all these relations about the show sucks now.

[SPEAKER_01]: He changed see this.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's this.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's in the Hampton's and all this nonsense, which I don't care about.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, [SPEAKER_01]: This does a story came out that he showed us canceled, which one made no sense because it's contracts not up till the end of the year.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it came from the sun, which is not a real reputable source and every person picked this up.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like going back to your Odo back in thing, it's really people don't understand what a bad time this is if you're trying to get like legitimate news.

[SPEAKER_01]: So.

[SPEAKER_01]: The aggregates had a field day with a report that came from the sun.

[SPEAKER_01]: The only reason I'm bringing this up is because if you are a Howard listener or if you listen to Series XM, they now are running promos during Howard show.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's repeat.

[SPEAKER_01]: He's off till September.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, basically a dread like saying like, it has the show been canceled.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is this by by Bowie?

[SPEAKER_01]: What about all these reports?

[SPEAKER_01]: Two minutes of September second.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that has to make me think that [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think series with canceled a show and then run those promos.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not canceled no way.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I think there's a difference between having it being canceled and what the new contract event is going to look like.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I saw your tweet and like I don't subscribe currently to series.

[SPEAKER_02]: I want to make sure I'm listening.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now, I know I'll probably get it anyway if I don't listen a lot, but I'm going to read now than ever to stern.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then you cancel it with Paramount.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right exactly right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now the one monkey wrench in all this I will say is that his long time agent on buckwalk died last year.

[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So if he is negotiating a new contract with Syria, he probably has some new representation or I don't know maybe it's the same company.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's not that big of a deal, but that is something to keep in mind.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just I'm seeing a tweet here and I'm going to buy booey.

[SPEAKER_01]: But so good.

[SPEAKER_01]: I see a media that says John Sterling had this to say on WFA and today is that your show?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we had him on who tweeted that the post.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we made some news there.

[SPEAKER_01]: You got it.

[SPEAKER_01]: What did pop pinstripe have to say today?

[SPEAKER_01]: I miss pas so much.

[SPEAKER_02]: So we were talking about the historic home one calls because Alonzo broke the old time that's franchise record.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that made me think of, you know, who's on the call?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like how he rose wasn't on the call because it was a third inning.

[SPEAKER_02]: which he shares with Keith Rad, who did a great job.

[SPEAKER_02]: It made me think to two thousand three, the Aaron Boone famous walkoff homer, where Charlie Steiner was on the call.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then John did the Vel Yankees win with Charlie jumping in with him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I was able to get together.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I was like, oh, there's no way John liked that.

[SPEAKER_02]: So why don't we get him on and talk about it?

[SPEAKER_02]: And he talked about that a little bit.

[SPEAKER_02]: We asked him about Dave and Susan, which he basically gave, you know, no answer.

[SPEAKER_02]: So he doesn't listen because he doesn't want to have an opinion on it.

[SPEAKER_01]: that we know what that means.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, does, how do you sound?

[SPEAKER_01]: How did he sound?

[SPEAKER_01]: He's sound great, man.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's, he's, he's, he's, he's hilarious.

[SPEAKER_02]: Dr.

Lee, I made sure I told the producer is dead.

[SPEAKER_02]: Do not text him.

[SPEAKER_02]: You pick up the phone and call, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, John doesn't like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was at that game, so I don't, you know, so I've heard the call obviously after the fact, but [SPEAKER_01]: I was so close to leaving that game.

[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't even funny.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was so old.

[SPEAKER_01]: I turned to my buddy Rich.

[SPEAKER_01]: I said, if the Red Sox score one more run, I'm leaving because I'm not going to watch them celebrate on this field.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what, you know what Stirling said?

[SPEAKER_02]: That was interesting because I alluded to it before saying, like, if you're Aaron Boone and you hit that big home run and it's a Charlie Steiner call, like, you kind of get robbed from a Yankee perspective, not having John do it.

[SPEAKER_02]: John said that Boone went to him afterward and asked him to rerecord it with him doing a call.

[SPEAKER_01]: that the analytics department told you to do.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you get off a booty.

[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, please.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've had enough.

[SPEAKER_01]: My guy, booty.

[SPEAKER_01]: I've had enough.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, clear, a managerial change will not change anything, but I've had enough.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: But see, back then, John would split the, he split the innings with Michael Kayney split the innings with Steiner.

[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't until Susan came, I think, the year after Steiner, and that's when John did the whole the entire game.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't Charlie Steiner's fault that he had the call.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was the one.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, but just like it sucks that such a huge moment was called by Steiner.

[SPEAKER_02]: And the awkward part to me was when Steiner jumped back in to do the Yankees when thing with John.

[SPEAKER_02]: John said that he had to do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Did it?

[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, never bothered me.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's interesting.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, less thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: So when I went to the CBS thing on Tuesday, I get in a cab.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in the back seat.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I see that driver has now, first of all, driving with your legs crossed is ridiculous, but he had like his left leg.

[SPEAKER_01]: He was driving with his left leg under his right leg.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: and had no socks, no shoes was barefoot.

[SPEAKER_03]: Ew.

[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, I don't think I can tip a full amount for this.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like, what did you do?

[SPEAKER_01]: The cab ride was like, it was like, eighteen dollars.

[SPEAKER_01]: Normally I would always tip five.

[SPEAKER_01]: I gave him four singles.

[SPEAKER_01]: I deducted a dollar for the bare feet.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think you might or am I justified?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I think you were too generous almost there.

[SPEAKER_01]: I could never give no tip.

[SPEAKER_01]: I could just never do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm with you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, you have to give some kind of tip, or at least they always feel obligated to give a tip.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, man.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just try them barefoot with other people in the car like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it wasn't exactly happy he was driving with his legs crossed.

[SPEAKER_01]: That just seemed dangerous to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, why wouldn't you say something?

[SPEAKER_01]: What should I now tell you tell me let's put you want to you want to do this.

[SPEAKER_02]: Let's play that what you're saying like I'm not saying it I would have said something either, but why not why should we be afraid to be like excuse me sir?

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's safe to drive with your feet high up like that like it's one thing that I have any socks or shoes on but can you at least untangle your feet your legs right and then instead of driving me straight through to my destination he will go on a circle around the city and the eighteen dollar care bride would be thirty eight dollars [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm trying to get through my day with as little aggravation as possible.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't need that confrontation.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was a very short camera.

[SPEAKER_01]: The only reason I took the cab was because it was like ninety three degrees.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't want to like end up with the back sweat and all that stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: If it was, if I wasn't going to like the CBS event or if it wasn't ninety three degrees, I would have walked.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I couldn't walk yesterday because of the heat.

[SPEAKER_02]: What time in the day was this?

[SPEAKER_01]: Two o'clock.

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the thing is two hours in the cab, but like one thirty.

[SPEAKER_02]: See, you should have told me about this, that you were in the city, because you know, my friend Mitch, who called, he was a caller, and then he helped me with the Christmas tree in front of her.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was, he was in the city yesterday.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I could have had him, you know, take you around if you need a ride.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'd rather be with the stinky feet.

[SPEAKER_01]: Why?

[SPEAKER_02]: I got to do that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need someone.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know giving me a ride somewhere.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do you want me to talk about this exactly with a cabin room or is?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no.

[SPEAKER_01]: But this is a listen.

[SPEAKER_01]: It would be like me saying to it would be like a listener on this podcast giving me a ride somewhere.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what's wrong with that?

[SPEAKER_01]: inappropriate, you know, the only thing I ask of people is to just listen to the podcast, download it every week and listen.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't need you driving me around.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's not, that's not what we hear for.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't ask for it, but if it's all for it, I'll take it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Any new stories with nine one one or animals before we wrap this up?

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, we, well, we did see a beaver.

[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't home.

[SPEAKER_02]: There was apparently a beaver in the backyard.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, we'll give you a heart of the bear.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you were home, would you have called nine one one?

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, no, thankfully, the beaver made his way onto the neighbor's lawn.

[SPEAKER_02]: He somehow got underneath the fence, the space and the fence, and went to the day, so that's the neighbor's problem.

[SPEAKER_02]: But we do talk about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Naval Hall would you have texted the neighbor, hey, just be careful.

[SPEAKER_01]: This would be very near backyard.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I would have encouraged the beaver to go to the neighbor's house and then said nothing about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, so we got a week skunk.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Skakes and it's snake, skunk.

[SPEAKER_01]: So far.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think the listeners are disappointed there was no nine one one call this week.

[SPEAKER_02]: I meant my wife did it.

[SPEAKER_02]: She took the video.

[SPEAKER_01]: But she don't call nine one one.

[SPEAKER_02]: No.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's tough for me.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yeah, I noticed it.

[SPEAKER_02]: She said she saw it from the kitchen as she was washing dishes or whatever and then ran outside to shoot.

[SPEAKER_02]: I wish she shot a better video.

[SPEAKER_02]: I would have posted it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going on that backyard.

[SPEAKER_01]: We will see you next week.

[SPEAKER_01]: We are inching closer towards football.

[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to miss a week of train of thoughts here coming up?

[SPEAKER_02]: We've got to talk about this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can do next Tuesday.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you're around.

[SPEAKER_02]: We'll figure that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
