Starting point is 00:00:46 Presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries, that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.
Starting point is 00:01:06 I've done it. And now here's the marching man to nowhere, that face and the habitual liar. I would like some assistance here navigating this dolphins games to got that is going to be on Friday, that this Thanksgiving is an unusual one in football. I am used to the Detroit Lions being a total afterthought. They're always bad. Someone's going to trample them. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:01:36 They're game matters. It doesn't matter. No, part of my Thanksgiving has not been Detroit football. It's that Detroit's going to make the football bad. My Thanksgiving footballs, it's not just Thursday football. It's that Detroit's going to make the football bad. My Thanksgiving footballs, it's not just Thursday football, they need more rest. They shouldn't be out there at this point in the season. After three days of rest, the football can be pretty bad on Thanksgiving, at least in part because Detroit's always involved in it. Yeah, I am welcoming the refreshing change of pace and being able to see a good football team there. I mean, Packers Lions, for the Packers to see a good football team there. I mean,
Starting point is 00:02:06 Packers Lions for the Packers to be the bad football team in that equation. So quickly, this turn around of Dan Campbell's, it's pretty impressive because normally this betting window was reserved for open a Godbrain and Pedigroup can catch a touchdown. Now you got several players on the field. That's so much that Stevens rooting for that guy. Oh my God. There's a time on her tradition of betting $25 on Brandon Pettigrew to score a touchdown. I don't think that people really understand
Starting point is 00:02:36 and maybe they will be taught this on Thanksgiving before we get to also the dolphins who have been a laughing stock for 20 years. They've been a regional team. They've not been a national team. This for 20 years, they've been a regional team, they've not been a national team. This is the first time they've been a national team since like Ricky Williams was here. I think I've got that right.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It's been a long time. Trying to think if they were even a national team then. Maybe not. That was a good run that concluded with Juan said, leave them, but that was, I mean, they were in the conversation. Oh, they felt like this though. They were national when Nick said in came, they were in the conversation. You were like this though. They were national when Nick said in came.
Starting point is 00:03:05 They were considered like a top three, top four team in their own conference back then. You've got the dolphins debuting last night on hard knocks. They're national team this year because of offense, because they're good at offense, because they have Tyree Kill and because people have taken interest in to a. Being a national storyline primarily because your offense has not been a
Starting point is 00:03:27 thing since the early nineties so we'll get to the dolphins in a second but stugots asked me yesterday when we were uh... leaving for some reason then you're gonna watch that berry sanders documentary and i am not interested in the berry sanders documentary i have found berry sanders is played to be electric, his personality to not be. And that team ruined him and Calvin Johnson. They both quit.
Starting point is 00:03:54 That's how bad the Lions have been. It's not just that they haven't been eight, you know, eight and two since 1960s to God's. 1960s when people were going to baseball games in suits and fedoras 1960s in my lifetime. I have a four-year-old daughter. I am approaching my 40s. I have seen The Lions when one playoff game Don't really recall it but Eric Kramer. He was great with doing it. You know you should be a big game Yeah, there's a little bit before my recollection of that. Oh, Wayne Farns. Are the lines in the same boat as the dolphins as this is the best that's been in deckies?
Starting point is 00:04:29 No, the lines are the worst of this. Oh, no, no, but I'm saying right now, the way we feel about the lines is as good as we have in decades. Yes, for certain, yes. The lines are the jets. Those are the two, like for fan bases that have been tortured over the four years.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Not the jets, it's not like I wanna get in. have been tortured over the years. I want to get it. I know earlier. Earlier in the week, I let it slide because I mentioned the Browns and he's like, you want to do aFC championships with Kowsar? You did. You want to do aFC championships with Mark Sanchez. So the two. The dolphins could make the argument that in my lifetime, the jets have been better.
Starting point is 00:05:03 No, no, you cannot do No, I just have a bunch of finish-man. Vinnie Tessa Verdi, two more Sanchez, you've been within a game of the Super Bowl three times recently. Really four if you wanna count Richard Todd, AJ Dewy, Shuola put the sprinklers on, made the field wetty cheated.
Starting point is 00:05:19 We remember that game too soon. I don't remember the game. Wow. You don't year with 84. I think it's a it's a lion's. I was born in 80's. Then it's the Browns and your jets are right there in that miserable conversation. All right. Um, uh, uh, what a sad argument we're having. It was he wants to be a bigger loser. All of us are right now. No. I'm the
Starting point is 00:05:40 he wants that still gets wants to be the biggest loser. We're like, no, it's lions fans. They win it's like, no wants to be the biggest loser. We're like no it's lions fans They went and so guys like no I'm the biggest loser Dolphins like I can get in this game Mike's like brows. What about us, but I'm not doing it off of your lifetime I'm doing it off of my lifetime in my life time the dolphins have been good Yeah, I say us The dolphins have made one player quit Ricky Williams the Detroit Lions have made two of their best players quit Calvin Williams and Barry Sanders jobs in Megatron excuse me Calvin Johnson that is a fine yeah that the talk I'm watching the talk I am Detroit are you watching this I'm not it's by by Barry on Amazon Prime and I'm not watching it although i saw seven minutes of it last night and on mute and then stopped watching it
Starting point is 00:06:29 uh... it i gave it seven minutes which is really how does a documentary lose you in seven minutes did you do the thing with your hands or you clap i'm done with this like uh... yes like a black pun on interviews and they get the day loose you i mean i didn't go in with the most optimism, but then Barry Sanders, because he's not a great interview, wasn't there? So it's when Barry Sanders started talking? Yeah, I mean, that was...
Starting point is 00:06:49 That you gave up on a Barry Sanders interview. I thought you were gonna give me in the good, in the first seven minutes, I thought you were gonna give me some of the stuff I wanted to keep me here. Nope, you did it exactly the way I thought you were gonna do it. What is it? You added some smoke to the situation, you put some video on it,
Starting point is 00:07:04 but nope, it's not that interesting. I way I thought you were going to do it. Thank you. What is it? You added some smoke to the situation. You put some video on it, but nope, it's not that interesting. May I ask you what it is about the 90s lions that you were looking for too most about this documentary? Well, this part, thank you for asking. How they broke two players.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Nope. I've got another part. Perhaps, Chris Cote, even though you didn't live during this time either, your father, you remember, is famous for trading Dan Moreno, the greatest offensive time that most appeared like this one for the dolphin, for Scott Mitchell. After which, and I wish we could find this, he did a local television interview where they pixelated his face in front of the Miami-Herald building and altered his voice because he traded and he wrote a column trading Dan Marino because the Dolphin Dad's got
Starting point is 00:07:54 Mitchell. Is it the most famous column in the history of this market? Sports column probably. Yes. How about him? Yes. It's the last risky token. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:04 It's card him. But so now, what's happens to God's is that very same Scott Mitchell is being quoted in the Detroit news. I just watched Bye Bye, Barry on Amazon Prime. Again, this is someone that Greg Cody traded, Dan Marino, to make room for Scott Mitchell. I'm glad it's not a different one. That would be strange.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Quote, it was not a very pleasant experience. I was Barry Sanders' teammates for five years. I had a front row seat to some of the most amazing plays in NFL history. He will never have an equal as a pure runner in the NFL. I could argue that there were several running backs that were more complete, but I won't. What? Hmm. Barry was great. However, I am so tired of hearing how I was the reason that Barry Sanders never won a Super Bowl I'm so tired of hearing how I was not a good quarterback. My only response is you all that includes M&M and Jeff Daniels Yeah, all right, you just sold the hell out of this documentary.
Starting point is 00:09:07 No. I was scanning my brain, and I think my very first football memory ever was a lion's adjacent memory. The paralysis of Mike Utley, I think is my first like vivid football memory. Oh, that was in the first seven minutes of what I mean. Oh, man. Did you turn it off? Well, this is what happened. Well, Barry started talking. Oh, I actually, the nerve on his own documentary.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Roy, thank you for asking because perhaps it wasn't just being bored by Barry Sanders talking that got me out, perhaps given what just flashed in my mind, it was just my moral conflict with all of this. They showed one of the starting lineups in Barry Sanders' first game, and at that time, Mike Utley's name was on the screen and he was playing.
Starting point is 00:09:51 He could walk and now he's paralyzed. So maybe somewhere in there, I'm like, okay, now I'm gonna check out. It's like five-year-old me watching that and really confused as to what was happening. And now it's kind of become routine. For all of this or at least more routine. But that was like, it's stark.
Starting point is 00:10:09 That's crazy. That my first football memory is a player getting paralyzed. And again, Lions football that wasn't any good 30 years before that and wouldn't be any good 30 years after that. That's why I still got some surprise to hear you. Like I understand long-suffering Jets fan. But no, the Lions haven't been anywhere close to having a team that all of us look at and watch and say that could be in the nfc championship game that has not
Starting point is 00:10:32 happened in those uniforms or any detroit uniforms for as long as i've lived not with staffer and not and i mean they didn't make staffer quit but they tried they tried to make him quit what the the the tattered remains of Stafford, they're one of Super Bowl, as soon as he got out of Detroit. In retrospect, that is one of the more fascinating NFL trades. Good trade.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Yeah, I mean, the Lions won the trade. It's not every day that you see two starting quarterbacks traded for one another, but the plan was, all right, we're just doing this to make the salaries work and then they'll clearly move on from golf, but golf totally reshaping himself. it's the rare trade where one team won the Super Bowl but the other team won the trade that's amazing what he just did
Starting point is 00:11:11 you saw what just happened there right Chris Cody he is so prisoner of the moment that the way that Jack Jared golf played in the last game where you threw three interceptions but brought them back means that the Lions won that trade even though yes you remember correctly I think he may be forgot even though we just said it no I remember the Rams did win a Super Bowl. Yeah right. He's been with this golf take for about two years now he's not gonna let it go. I mean they have a quarter about the Lions do for the next 12 years. Stafford's gonna be done in three years. Golf is good man. It's cool to see. It's all busy.
Starting point is 00:11:45 It didn't just get goth from that deal. The total haul ended up being goth, Laporta, who's been a really nice pickup, better than Brandon Pettigrew, some sad. Don't bail him out on this. Jamar is saying strictly Jared Goth is why they won. You have Gibbs, you have Peshaw, like that big. Well, you've got a bonus God Bless football coming out here today
Starting point is 00:12:03 because Dug's has in fairness to Stugat. He has been since the beginning and I made fun of that trade like everybody made fun of that trade. Why are the lions taking the golf contract? That's clearly a McVeigh product. He's not going to be able to do it for Dan Campbell. Now he has been good for them.
Starting point is 00:12:21 They're also great at running the football and they're going to Sam P. the Packers who are bad at stopping the run. So they can just run the ball. But to see Gough be a surprise when he's leading them back to beat Chicago and I expect it, even though he's thrown three interceptions that I expect the Lions. You trust Jared Gough to come back in that game. I trust them to be good at offense. You also trust the Bears to blow that game. I trust the Lions to be good at offense and they're running the ball.
Starting point is 00:12:50 They have balance and this might be the best Lions team of my lifetime. I've seen the one. I've seen all the others and this one is better offensively than those and I can't believe I'm saying that about Jared Goff. It's a crazy notion to think when you project and I can't believe I'm saying that about Jared Gough. It's a crazy notion to think when you project and I know the Eagles just want a really
Starting point is 00:13:09 impressive game at Arrowhead, a game that the Lions also won might I remind you. It kind of looks like the Super Bowl is going to go through Detroit. It's very likely that they have home field advantage in a first round by there going to be a game within a game of the Super Bowl. Just before the postseason gets away. I've got to say it. I've got to say it to be viral. This is the best Detroit Lions team of my entire lifetime. The Dan La Battascia was to got to sponsor by Better Help.

A thousand people come out and we see the ship and container on their own stage and they're like rock stars. You and me both had tears in our eyes.
Starting point is 00:15:30 We're like mom and dad of sentiment and it's hard to get you to sentiment, man. That was a very emotional moment for us. To see those guys, I'm telling you guys, you were on stage, did and I were both crying. Are you guys aware of this? Crying. Like crocodile tears. We believe crocodile tears are fake.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Uh, crocodile tears are fake. I thought they meant big. This is the Dalai Batar show with this two cats. Look at you dressed as Meister Flintstone. That's right. Total. You know, there's a certain, there's a segment of the population
Starting point is 00:16:08 that you speak to that have no idea who that is. Summer calling him fried Flintstone. Just you Chris. You got a little gurgled laugh out of Joe Buck there. They are calling him to hold. They are calling me fried flinstone. That is correct. Joe Buck is at the height of the industry. If he's not the best at what he does,
Starting point is 00:16:33 he is one of the best. Now make a stand. Say, say, say, if I'm not, then say I'm not. If I am, then say I am. You are the best young person in the history. I'm 54. No, no, wait a minute. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, that's a fine. if i am then say you are the best young person in the history of fifty four no no wait a minute i'm i'm i'm i'm that's a five-year-old
Starting point is 00:16:49 yelling at me uh... you see the best of my point is that as a child prodigy no one has ever been better so he pt failed is what you're saying and he is not all right he is climbed in broadcasting no one has ever done no one has done more earlier than Joe Buck. Come on man, the resume is world series and super balls
Starting point is 00:17:13 and everything important that's ever been broadcast before the age of 35, correct? Yes, yeah. It's a long time ago. It's a long time ago. What have you done since? I mean, figured out life and balance and everything else that gets you to have minutes, right? Like that's exactly right.
Starting point is 00:17:30 You conquered the vanity business, you conquered the stupidity and now you have exactly the job you want built to your specifications. It's actually really funny. You say that because I was thinking yesterday because people keep asking me, do you miss baseball? And it has nothing to do with baseball. It's about getting to a point where, and I'm the luckiest guy in the world, and I admit that, but it's getting to the point where you don't feel the need to be on every broadcast and do everything, and you can step aside and watch other people do it and not freak out about it or get sad. So, you know, whatever it is, whatever was extracted from my life, I mean, I miss certain
Starting point is 00:18:11 aspects of it, but I enjoy what I get to do the way I get to do it. Fifteen million a year also helps, Joe. Yeah, no, that's not bad. That's really, really a good part of it. But Joe, I have to want a yacht right now. And that, yeah, it's on another yacht. It's on the submarine. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Joe, you are the best I've ever seen, okay? I am telling you, I used to go. Thanks for taking a stand. I mean, I mean, I'm a man. And Mike and I were saying yesterday, we don't want to go to the manning cast because Buck and eight minutes, Joe, Joe buck knows how subjective this is. The five best people, the five best people at this, we can have a real good argument
Starting point is 00:18:52 about. He's one of them. No, you're, it's the most subjective thing in the world. And it's what drove Troy Crazy at the beginning of our time together because he was used to a scoreboard. And he was used to something telling him that that game or that day, he was better than the other side and there's no scoreboard and it's absolutely random, who likes and who hates, who the old hate word, but yeah, it's as subjective as anything gets.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Joe, I want to talk to you about Monday Night's game because I have been watching you for a long time, okay? A long time. And suddenly on Monday night, you became an offensive line expert. You would, you and Aikman, I mean, it was weird. And not just offensive line. If I have to narrow it down, a center. You were, I mean, highlight packages of Jason Kelsey. You guys were blown away by the fact that he pulls and he blocks. That's what he does for a living.
Starting point is 00:19:47 And I'm sitting there thinking to myself, how about poor Creed Humphrey, the chief center? How about all the other centers sitting at home saying, hey, when buck calls my game, he never points out me pulling and blocking. Totally fair criticism. Totally. It's, it's, I plead guilty to that. I watched the documentary. I bought the hype.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm in love with the Kelsey brothers, both collectively and individually. Yeah, I'm bad. I mean, a lot of people don't know this, but I was a hefty offensive and defensive tackle on my high school football team. Number 77, I can provide pictures and maybe one highlight
Starting point is 00:20:25 from a tackle I made at Lutheran North. Is it any not on the yacht? You can't, right? No, you don't have. I don't have it readily available right now because most of my golden frame pictures are are back in my polatial estate, but yeah, that so always I like John Madden watch from the line out Troy being the quarterback watches from the quarterback Out toward the defense which obviously he was Involved with the center. So I mean it's only natural that we eventually in our 22nd year evolve into people who talk about Center and guard play will you have the Vikings and bears coming up this monday i want the same kind of treatment for viking center garrot breadberry okay
Starting point is 00:21:13 it's gonna happen uh... we will have at least two cameras uh... isolated on garrot breadberry you need to you need to point out that there's been a bias here that's been called out by stugots who's always there to correct faulty journalism that you guys have been compromised by fame you're celebrating that this great this this kelsi this jason lumberjack kelsi who's thirty six years old it is fairly amazing that someone that size moves that way but there are forty of those in the NFL yeah no you're, no, I couldn't agree with you more, but there aren't 40 who have had their own documentaries, there aren't 40 who've got three little girls
Starting point is 00:21:51 that are adorable and one of which Wyatt, I have a boy named Wyatt, was showing her center movement on video. There aren't many, there aren't any whose brother's dating Taylor Swift. Okay, that's the one. That's one that's the one of them probably have kids yes yeah that's true chris kody's true theorizing here that you do that ackman doesn't
Starting point is 00:22:14 like throwing the broadcast over to the manning calisers chris kody thinks that troy ackman and doesn't want any viewers lost and is and is bothered by the manning's and is competing specifically with Peyton. Moving on. At any point during the halftime interview, were you like, why is Peyton yelling at me? I mean, I feel like, and obviously this comes with every disclaimer. Actually, Peyton and I can show you on my phone, which is here on the yacht, within a yacht with me.
Starting point is 00:22:50 He and I were texting last night. He sent me the PC did on Peyton's places with talking about Madden, which was phenomenal. But I'd like to think that if the roles were reversed, I'm not so sure that Peyton and Eli would be like, Hey, we're doing all we can to keep this Jets game interesting. But you should see what's going on over there.
Starting point is 00:23:13 And I mean, that's just counter to your own competitiveness. But it's obviously nothing personal. And I love the fact that we're all under the same roof and we all get one rating it pushed together and all good. But yeah, it's, you know, that's, it's kind of a weird phenomenon, but all good. No, but and that rating is the biggest that Monday night football has had in 27 years that the game that you just did is the biggest in the history of the network and it was the biggest football game across all of the networks. And in talking about this in the post game show yesterday with Mike Ryan,
Starting point is 00:23:49 I had always longed my entire life for alternate broadcasts that took things a little less seriously, did things a little less familiarly. You do the thing that broadcasts well the most professionally, but I've found myself longing for sillier, longing for more entertainment, and that number and that game shows Mike Ryan was making the argument on behalf of, no, this broadcast team matters on those games, it makes them feel bigger. Yeah, maybe. I mean, that's for other people to determine, I'm not going to be the one to say it, but I think
Starting point is 00:24:22 the process starts before that when the schedule comes out. you know, when the schedule came out and the NFL had a couple of golden tickets to hand out. One of them was Aaron Rogers first game as a jet, which we got and it lasted 14 seconds. And the other one was the rematch of this incredible Super Bowl with two great teams and stars all over the place. And we were lucky enough to get that one. And we're smart enough to know that that stuff gets spread around every year. But to get that, I think, was really big for the network. So on that level, I think there's some interest there on the part of the NFL to funnel things our way. But beyond that, as you said, it's the most objective thing in the world and I don't
Starting point is 00:25:12 get into all that stuff. This is the first year with the Monday Night Football Flex game. You're eligible now from here on out to swap any of the Monday Night games on the schedule. Please don't do that with the Titans Dolphins game as we have a show event around that. But there's been a real reluctance to flex out of games due to large part with the New York teams being on prime time schedules because the anticipation was that they'd have good seasons,
Starting point is 00:25:35 but they ended up not having good seasons and no one wants to lose that market. So my question to you is, do you actually think we'll see a game flex? Joe Burrow just got hurt. Bengals, Jaguars, lot less interesting.'ll see a game flex? Joe Burrow just got hurt. Bengals and Jaguars, a lot less interesting. Will we see the flex? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I don't think we will. I'm, you know, Steve Ackles, our producer, and I would talk about it all the time. We would be in the list on the list of people who would be notified the last to know, but I think the schedule's strong. And I, you know, there's always going to be one team that's not what everybody thought it was going to be in the case of
Starting point is 00:26:09 New York. Both for different reasons have disappointed this season, but I think it's still New York. And in the case of a game we have in a couple of weeks, it's New York and Green Bay. That's a hard one to tap out of. You could make the case Kansas City, New England, but it's still Kansas City, and it's still Bill Belichick. I don't see, as I sit here, and nobody's asking me other than just tossing it around like we are, I don't see it happening. So, not in 2023. I've got a couple more questions here. I could talk to him a lot longer. He's super interesting. And in his book and elsewhere has been super vulnerable about the kind of growth that he has made later in his life.
Starting point is 00:26:53 When you talk about the competition and all the competition, you came up through the vanity business. You had success very early. Broadcasters are competitive. Everybody wants to climb over each other. You've climbed to the top. It seems like the need for competition is something that you have left behind in a way that is healing for you. Yeah, it's a great question and I think it's probably why I have a therapist on call and use that therapist when going through divorce and everything else in 2011 and dealing with my daughters who were just phenomenal during that process and it didn't have to be that way, but I think you grow and you leave some of that childish stuff behind. I mean, what Al Michaels does, Jim Nance does, Mike Tarekko does,
Starting point is 00:27:37 has absolutely nothing to do with me. What Kevin Burkhart does has nothing to do with me doing my old job, or Joe Davis doing my old job or Joe Davis doing my old job. I root for those guys and I mean, Al is the best face timer of all the time. Nobody face times. My kids don't face them. The Kardashians do not face time as much as Al Michael. I couldn't hear that. It's a drop. We play it whenever someone named drops. We call him a look at me Louie because I FaceTime for Al Michaels. Yeah, that's a pretty good one. Wow. Look at him. Look at the circles. The big man runs in. What do you mean? I can't hear you. For Al Michaels. That's it.
Starting point is 00:28:17 For one. I can't hear. I can't hear again. Again. We lose the sound that's unfortunate damn Johnson he also has he just ripped the shit can you say bad words on that you just ripped the shit out of me and did the oh what we lost audio you're onto us but I'm old cheap trick right the other thing I wanted to ask you about I want to give you a second to think about it because I don't want to catch you off guard but the Carissa Thompson thing that happened, I found myself advocating arguing on behalf of truth matters, the truth matters.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I'm not wanting anyone severely punished. I'm not chasing someone with a pitchfork. I'm not gathering with fellow sideline reporters to hunt someone down and make sure they lose their job. But you also can't make shit up. Like it's, I'm not arguing anything controversial when I say you probably shouldn't do that in that job. So what was your take on it?
Starting point is 00:29:13 I mean, who disagrees with that? No, I would assume. A lot of people are disagreeing with the idea. What's the big deal? What's the crime? Come on, and they go down there for us. Now, I think if you had Curissa on here, I think we just talked Karissa on here,
Starting point is 00:29:25 I think we just talked about growing up and we talked about learning and this was a reference to something that happened earlier in her career. And like you said, I think everybody's just in such a rush to go, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, you said something and now we're gonna go back and they get the group gathered. And I understand that I am married to Michelle Bisoner, who is,
Starting point is 00:29:51 as hard a working person as I know, certainly harder than her husband and our family and is risen from Broncos cheerleader to in stadium entertainer like with at the abs games and the nuggets games to ESPN to, NFL Network prior to that, I know how hard that side of the fence works and I understand why people would be upset. But I'm not the person in the crowd going, oh, you should lose this, lose that. You shouldn't, I think everybody grows. And I think we all, I've done it many times. You go on a show like this. You go on a show that exists at other places.
Starting point is 00:30:36 And you wanna entertain and you wanna be funny and you wanna be your reverent and you wanna, and then it gets picked up. And then it's a little bit out of context and then you're paying for it for X number of days, weeks, or maybe with your job. I need your help here though. Can you do it for me while I'm dressed as Fred. Can you do the thing that we can clip unfairly out of context? Yes, you told us about the pot brownies. You've told it you've given up all of your vulnerabilities you I have I think They're nothing left. I don't know that that I have anything that I want to go all back in
Starting point is 00:31:15 1998 I was but I'm not even to say it You're gonna clip come on But I'm dressed it, but I'm dressed as Fred Flintstone But I'm dressed it, but I'm dressed as Fred Flintstone. No, I mean, no one will take it seriously. No, all I will be hoping and getting smarter and all that. And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm not putting anything on tape, even kidding, because it'll be a headline that I scroll through
Starting point is 00:31:37 in the New York Post app that says, Joe Buck admits that, no, I'm not doing it. Okay. Please stop yelling it. I'm dressed as it. Okay, please stop yelling it. I'm dressed as Fred Fence. Don't get me, I'm sweating, I'm so mad. Joe, his name is Garrett Bradbury, Viking Center. Okay, I want a couple of highlights, Monday night.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I want to see you do. It's gonna happen. Okay, good. I've gotta let you go, because he's got to get into other things, but at some point I want to talk to you because I know you have thoughts on this on when that angry crowd gathers, because it feels a lot of times to me like people
Starting point is 00:32:09 push back on that angry crowd more than they do on the crime that created the angry crowd because of how uncomfortable and unruly the angry crowd gets. But not now. But not now. Not this time. Yeah, I mean, we've all been there. I've been there. I've faced the angry crowd.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Hell, throughout October, every crowd I faced was angry. So that's a different time in my life. So I don't have to worry about the angry crowd. That's amazing to watch that football loves you and baseball fans are so baseball fans that they would dissect and criticize every single thing about you. Well, they don't want to hear the team that just did a home run against their team on
Starting point is 00:32:48 national TV have the announcer. Oh, nobody wants to hear that. They want to hear their hometown. And that's a go. And a fly ball into right. And that's going to go. And now our team is losing. A lazy fly ball. And it is what they want. It's good seeing go and now our team is losing. A lazy fly ball.
Starting point is 00:33:05 And it is what they want. It's good seeing you, Joe. It always is. Thank you for making the time. All right, guys. See you. Thank you, Joe. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Don Lebertard. Chris Cody does an impression. Just be careful. Dangerous game here. This is a dangerous game. I don't want to play this game. No, it was saying, man, I could do such a great game. No, I don't want to play this game. He's like, man could do such a great. Oh, I don't want to play this game
Starting point is 00:33:26 He's like man. I just do like him. This is who we're gonna trust me. Let's let a mean do it I think I think I think you could do it Chris because you did a great Charles Barkley your one for one there Did no one just hear the segment we just did with the mean we cannot be taking judgment is not the House from the local drunk on whether or not you Judgment is not the best house from the local drunk on whether or not you Should do the impersonation of a black man stumbling over his words like you don't see the bad Moody moody moody moody And careful man, we got it like we cannot do this. It's too close to the line. This is where the line is something legitimately funny
Starting point is 00:34:06 Can't be funny because we're scared our ginger's gonna do something racist by accident. Carry the hell on, Dan Rachel, Dan the line is where we feel alive though This is the Dan lebatar show with the stugats Stugat it's steaming in here and not just because I've got this blousey flinstones thing on my grion is a perfectionist who at times can Korean in the red on unreasonable when things go wrong and he is heated at our audio problems that have derailed David Samsung and now Joe Buck and our general inability. He's yelling at a system. There's some sort of system he was screaming at at his computer because it was very frustrating, but things are now under control. Soon someone will use a jackhammer
Starting point is 00:34:54 outside our doors or a fire alarm will go off, but for right now we've got perfect audio conditions. And so in the perfect audio conditions Mike tries to trust the computer as we try to get this week's useless sound. How's it going on? I'm not here to talk to the fan base. I'm here to talk to my players, the locker room. I know that we give ourselves a chance to win every single week with the game plans that we have. I wouldn't look at it as a failure. I look at it more as a series of unfortunate events. These guys are a special group of guys, you know, and we had energy. These guys are coming
Starting point is 00:35:35 off. They played four nights ago, four days ago in a tough game, a disappointing loss, a fourth quarter loss. They didn't listen to any of what you all wrote, you know. They didn't pay attention to you. You know, they listen and to us, not to you. That's the guy who I went to the knee with, you know, we've been bread and butter, you know, but in jellies, whatever you want to call him. They finish each other's sentences. The only thing I'm really bombed about, I won't be able to play Fortnite, so it's the kind of thing I'm bombed about. I won't be able to play video games. We'll learn from this. We'll do so while absorbing the L because that's what you're doing this thing and we'll be back. I think this game and it's it's the testament of my who, like who is gonna not blink and who's gonna just keep
Starting point is 00:36:12 going. Just really proud of our group just in terms of I feel like they are growing, they're continuing to battle, I feel like we're getting better. Man I was proud of the guys, the coaches, nobody got got throusled you know we knew if we could just get the ball back in our court we did a stop score you know we could get some momentum back but man that's what I was proud of. They did set the tone. Press your win up our heart rate leveled out. What we're gonna do is we're gonna evaluate everything we do and we'll continue to do that. Yeah we did some silly things but it was good obviously to come out with a win.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Man, Steph Curry, don't ever stop shooting. I'm gonna keep, I'm gonna keep running around. They know I'm gonna keep firing it. That's just who I am. I'm gonna fire it to the guys who's open. First of all, I think it's belief. Second of all, I think it's execution. And third of all, it's having a mentality that,
Starting point is 00:36:59 you know, we're gonna win the game. Everyone has a part in wins, and everyone has a part in losses. I think that we, this team, does a great job of understanding that and has the right mindset. I think they're on the same page, I just, maybe off a tech. I never disappointed with the loss, but I'm not discouraged about where the seasons had it after this game. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't, I mean, there was a lot of ugly moments in it. When you win games like we won games, you have to give us a ton of character.
Starting point is 00:37:22 And you know what kind of name? I guess character development mode. With the games we've played and how we've won. Proving myself every drive, every play, that I can be the guy for this team, you know. And I have to earn it every single week. You go one game at a time, you have to. I'm learning how hard the NFL is and how hard it is to win.
Starting point is 00:37:38 It's a lot easier to play bad and win than it is to play bad and lose. One man's misfortune in this business is another man's opportunity. We say that. I actually went down there. I said it. One man's misfortune in this business is another man's opportunity. We say that. I actually went down there. I said, it's just getting better in this. Like this is the moment, this is what you want to be in right now.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I have full confidence, like I've told you, and like I've told you from the beginning, I have full confidence in our way of playing. Full confidence in myself is the play collar and the way that we teach and the way that we scheme, full confidence in that. We got to bring this group together and do it consistently, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:07 And that's where it's at. So you can stop asking that question, okay? I'm going to be calling the defenses, okay? So we're clear. So you don't have to ask that again. So we're clear is always said with menace. Correct? Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Put it on the poll, please, Juju Atletaar Show. Is so we're clear always said with menis correct yes put it on the pole please juju at levitard show is so we're clear always said with menis man I love my Tom what I really do he's always learning and he's always going to be back and I believe always learning never blinking they should put it on t-shirts Roy is that what you were blinking around gaining his opponent that I absorb that L you got absorb the L you can't just lose You got to absorb that L. What you doing this business, Dan? Tom Wilson's three things were pretty useless. Yes, one of them was like the others.
Starting point is 00:38:51 He ran out of gas. He very clearly only had two things. I already said 30 things. So, I'm already here. I can't call time out. The third thing sounds like belief. It's like you got to think you're going to win. OK. How did he possibly court a famous pop star?
Starting point is 00:39:10 Like what was that flirtatious period like what did he say? It was probably his era where he was doing like the central things was like mr. On no, that was part of when he was already with you a lemon more central. She's like Yes That was part of when he was already with you. Miss you are leaving him more sensual. She's like, ooh. Yes. You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's...
Starting point is 00:39:29 You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's...
Starting point is 00:39:37 You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... You think that's... or romantic. What I hear in the useless sound, Dan Campbell talks from his balls. Like he talks
Starting point is 00:39:47 and what you expect. And Andy Reed, his voice, it sounds like gravel or charcoal at the bottom of a barbecue pit. Like his voice sounds like football. The chiefs are filled with people that, they don't even care what they say. When I hear my homes his voice and Andy reads voice, it's funny. You're in, yeah. They. You recognize them by their voices and then a visual comes to you. And in Dan Campbell's case, it's very Detroit. God, how happy are those people with that coach? I think the only fans that are happier with their coach
Starting point is 00:40:17 are Philadelphia fans with that meathead Sireoni. He's great. Show this video of him running off of the field in Kansas City after the chief somehow are the worst second half team offensively at all of football. Hey, there it is. He said it for under the tunnel. He said it outside. Also do it in the Super Bowl. Yes, correct. Let's see that again though. I want you to see how he gets his knees into
Starting point is 00:40:49 shouting at the bottom. Oh, you're f***ing cool. Change man. What was that? Yeah, it's just him yelling for the cameras. They can't hear him. He's a meathead. Almost like a mini squat. He did. He's like, yes, he's a meathead.
Starting point is 00:41:03 It's like getting punched in the stomach. You gotta kind of recoil as what it was. A little recoil. But him and Campbell, both of them, meathead mountain, football fans love those guys. A guy who shouts after he's beaten Kansas City on the road at the bottom of the floor where drunk chiefs fans can't hear him because there's a lot of concrete between him and them, but he throws his knees into it. Hey, I'm here for the game, and war, team match. See ya! Did you guys watch Hard Knocks last night? We gotta get to that building.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I forgot about it. The dolphins have a Dan Campbell on their staff that hands out cakes. All right, we gotta get to that. We gotta get to that. Takes. I gotta tell you though, I don't want this to go unnoticed in this video. a Dan Campbell on their staff that hands out cakes. All right, we got to get to the cakes. I got to tell you though, I don't want this to go unnoticed in this video. You realize, Sireon is playing to the cameras when we realize that he doesn't know who he's
Starting point is 00:41:55 talking to. We don't know. And so he says, chiefs fans in the event that you did not know who I was talking to. And in the event that you did not know who I was talking to.
