00:00:00.515 --> 00:00:03.899
Welcome back to Two Cs with a pod.
00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:10.165
Boom. You know, hey, it was good that the Two Cs were live together in person.
00:00:10.275 --> 00:00:13.397
There was a minor security event. No big deal.
00:00:13.837 --> 00:00:17.557
You know, we just have fans all over and sometimes in their excitement to see
00:00:17.557 --> 00:00:21.117
us, they do overstep just a little bit. It's funny when, right.
00:00:21.797 --> 00:00:24.137
And they don't see us together much. They don't see us together.
00:00:24.137 --> 00:00:28.447
Yeah, yeah, they don't. And so they kind of, yeah, they lose their minds.
00:00:28.447 --> 00:00:32.277
It gets a little out of control, but, you know, I really thought that we handled
00:00:32.277 --> 00:00:34.210
it with class and dignity. Yeah.
00:00:34.512 --> 00:00:36.577
You know, and we were generous, gracious.
00:00:37.217 --> 00:00:41.787
Exactly. And to that, you know, the real MVP here is my mom,
00:00:41.787 --> 00:00:43.357
you know, an eligibility.
00:00:43.357 --> 00:00:48.987
We had to sneak up the stairs, you know, because the fans were just out of control kind of in the.
00:00:48.987 --> 00:00:53.177
So we had to sneak up the back stairs. Yeah, that was very unfortunate.
00:00:53.177 --> 00:00:56.757
It was very unfortunate that she was subjected to that. And I think that was
00:00:56.757 --> 00:01:00.197
actually the thing that probably upset me the most was, you know,
00:01:00.197 --> 00:01:02.637
we're used to it, right? We're used to this.
00:01:03.271 --> 00:01:07.477
The wives are used to it. They understand. They don't take it personal.
00:01:07.477 --> 00:01:11.577
They're married into it. They knew. But the fact that these people wouldn't
00:01:11.577 --> 00:01:14.527
even let us get on an elevator—,
00:01:15.426 --> 00:01:20.357
You know, to help this woman, like it really was in poor taste and I really
00:01:20.357 --> 00:01:21.667
do think they need to do better.
00:01:22.677 --> 00:01:25.777
I don't want this to be an admonishment. We're grateful for it. We're grateful for it.
00:01:26.097 --> 00:01:29.847
We'd love, you know, listen, man, you know, I think I told the story about like
00:01:29.847 --> 00:01:33.907
my, my experience in Seattle, 99.9% of the people are great.
00:01:33.907 --> 00:01:36.549
You know, it's a 0.01, you know, all that stuff.
00:01:36.752 --> 00:01:41.307
Yeah. You know, man, and just candidly, you know, it's like that everywhere.
00:01:41.307 --> 00:01:45.357
Like, you know, 99.9%, you know, people are going to be respectful.
00:01:45.357 --> 00:01:48.207
Some people are just going to lose their mind when they see us and,
00:01:48.207 --> 00:01:55.057
you know, want to, but Hey, you know, we, we thought, Hey, we thought,
00:01:55.477 --> 00:01:58.347
you know, Hey, let's get out. Let's go see another international superstar.
00:01:58.643 --> 00:02:03.078
Um, you know, I mean, real respect, real, um, you know,
00:02:03.807 --> 00:02:08.817
American treasure, treasure or in america yeah so i mean i you know i mean i don't think,
00:02:09.657 --> 00:02:14.173
that you know i don't think that our celebrity should prevent us,
00:02:14.638 --> 00:02:19.682
no from being able to go out and enjoy a concert celebrate culture you know
00:02:20.077 --> 00:02:26.217
yeah yeah be a part of something like that and yeah yeah i loved it i thought it was tremendous.
00:02:27.297 --> 00:02:30.684
Yeah great brooks concert not that not what people were doing,
00:02:31.277 --> 00:02:34.955
in in the uh the concourse that part's not okay but,
00:02:35.546 --> 00:02:41.847
you know arthbrook's show what a show what a what a performance yeah and i think
00:02:41.847 --> 00:02:45.802
you know you and i do we do try to be respectful celebrities we got there early,
00:02:46.307 --> 00:02:49.817
you know thinking like let's get here early we'll get down to our seats so that
00:02:50.197 --> 00:02:54.257
hey look at these guys are coming in you know you know i'm you know how people
00:02:54.257 --> 00:02:58.277
do making a scene you know we weren't trying to do that and so we tried to get
00:02:58.277 --> 00:03:00.354
there early and you know i mean And,
00:03:01.073 --> 00:03:03.927
you know, I think the thing you were saying about Garth is, you know,
00:03:03.927 --> 00:03:09.237
just tremendous showman, like knows knows how to work the Kansas City into the
00:03:09.237 --> 00:03:11.191
songs, you know, let's change the words.
00:03:11.943 --> 00:03:19.103
There is no more professional, and again, there are many things to note of what
00:03:19.103 --> 00:03:21.806
he does, and all artists should take note, okay?
00:03:22.346 --> 00:03:27.303
And a huge, is making everyone seen, no matter, you know, you've got about a
00:03:27.303 --> 00:03:30.775
20-some thousand, you know, seat capacity crowd,
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.103
but you felt like somehow, you know, he either pointed at you,
00:03:35.103 --> 00:03:39.243
or he looked at you, or he, you know, you showed up on the video screen,
00:03:39.243 --> 00:03:40.705
or whatever it was, there's that.
00:03:41.163 --> 00:03:45.829
The other part is being okay with the crowd also being part of the show if not
00:03:45.951 --> 00:03:47.745
a huge if not the show right
00:03:48.186 --> 00:03:53.193
you know encouraging the sing-alongs using the videos you know promoting the
00:03:53.193 --> 00:03:57.466
signs bringing signs and then you know turning around and planning those requests like,
00:03:57.971 --> 00:04:01.118
and and yes and to your point as far as the,
00:04:01.715 --> 00:04:05.383
you know it's often i think what they call it in wrestling right the k-5 or just.
00:04:06.702 --> 00:04:13.343
Playing the role of an entertainer and someone who is, you know, versed in that.
00:04:13.823 --> 00:04:18.043
There is no human being that I can imagine is better than Garth. And.
00:04:20.043 --> 00:04:24.472
My only comparisons
Load full transcript
are to people like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan,
00:04:24.913 --> 00:04:28.564
people who, you know, their job is to do that. Yeah.
00:04:29.218 --> 00:04:32.736
Crowd in the palm of their hand. Now, I went both nights.
00:04:33.119 --> 00:04:39.730
You went Friday night. I went both nights. So I admittedly may get some details confused.
00:04:40.326 --> 00:04:44.617
On your night, did he do the thing where he's like, oh, so I only just have
00:04:44.617 --> 00:04:46.767
to look over here? And then you'll cheer.
00:04:47.507 --> 00:04:50.507
Okay, so that was Friday night. He didn't do that second night.
00:04:50.507 --> 00:04:55.047
He did not. He did not do that second night. That was really funny and really great.
00:04:55.387 --> 00:04:58.687
That's what I mean. So he's putting on a show. He's always giving people what
00:04:58.687 --> 00:05:02.545
they want, but to my point of making the crowd part of the show,
00:05:02.696 --> 00:05:08.707
right? And kind of, you know, again, encouraging, you know, yeah, crowd participation.
00:05:09.047 --> 00:05:16.828
And so just a blast in every way. And I mean, again, I can't stress enough the endurance of...
00:05:17.470 --> 00:05:24.098
The, you know, ability to sound like he did in 1996, the first time we saw him,
00:05:24.098 --> 00:05:31.498
you know, like I didn't find I found no let off or let, you know, from from 30 years ago.
00:05:31.498 --> 00:05:34.528
Right. I mean, you know, of course, you saw maybe a little more sweat.
00:05:34.528 --> 00:05:37.868
You saw him and I know you saw a little, yeah, a little, a little.
00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:43.548
A little less gas in the tank. few more uh,
00:05:44.248 --> 00:05:48.788
few more few more letting the band play a little bit sure but,
00:05:49.408 --> 00:05:53.488
as a 64 year old man to to do to put on the show he does and and
00:05:53.908 --> 00:05:59.358
sometimes in some cities multiple nights or sorry multiple times um in one night
00:05:59.358 --> 00:06:01.768
i mean that's the really incredible thing about him again
00:06:02.188 --> 00:06:06.368
everyone regardless of if you listen i had plenty of friends and buddies they
00:06:06.368 --> 00:06:10.608
make fun you You know, oh, you went and, you know, we were talking in one text thread.
00:06:10.608 --> 00:06:14.581
My buddy's like 28 texts over some country pop, you know, and I'm like,
00:06:15.092 --> 00:06:17.828
I guess the only thing I would say to that is that, you know,
00:06:17.828 --> 00:06:23.428
again, it isn't, you know, it's not necessarily my, my, you know, cup of tea genre wise.
00:06:23.768 --> 00:06:27.158
I love a good country song, a good country artist, but to that,
00:06:27.158 --> 00:06:30.192
it is not what I typically seek out.
00:06:30.630 --> 00:06:35.618
But the only people that would talk trash on that person as a performer or as
00:06:35.618 --> 00:06:38.828
a musician have to be people who have never seen him. You know,
00:06:39.188 --> 00:06:40.557
who have never
seen what he does.
00:06:41.074 --> 00:06:49.048
So, going both nights, I, you know, again, got maybe get a, get confused. Did he do Bob Seger? No.
00:06:50.248 --> 00:06:55.658
Okay, so, no, he, okay, so he did. Did Bob Seger He did do some covers.
00:06:55.658 --> 00:06:59.590
I don't remember Seger. I remember, like, It was second night.
00:06:59.904 --> 00:07:03.937
Yeah. Yeah, he did, he did, he did Bob Seger the second night, but,
00:07:04.784 --> 00:07:07.424
What I, the reason why I was going with that is like, you know,
00:07:07.424 --> 00:07:11.193
something that just kind of jumped out to both of us is that we,
00:07:11.867 --> 00:07:16.087
again, you know, as, as we're trying to just be regular people,
00:07:16.366 --> 00:07:19.831
you know, we, we didn't take the, we didn't take the superstar parking.
00:07:20.499 --> 00:07:24.124
We said, listen, we want to be able to get out of this place where we don't,
00:07:24.124 --> 00:07:26.618
you know, so we're walking up, you know, enjoying each other's company.
00:07:27.529 --> 00:07:32.454
And you know we're just having a having a conversation and we're talking a little
00:07:32.454 --> 00:07:38.214
bit about you know it's one of those things where the we feel like he's missed
00:07:38.214 --> 00:07:41.458
an entire generation because of the uh the walmart,
00:07:42.414 --> 00:07:46.994
contract that he signed he signed that exclusive distribution with walmart and
00:07:46.994 --> 00:07:53.519
then approximately 17 seconds later the entire industry shifted to streaming right like,
00:07:54.274 --> 00:07:57.530
so you know if you want to listen to Garth Brooks you now have,
00:07:58.372 --> 00:08:00.415
you you gotta have a CD in your.
00:08:01.512 --> 00:08:06.792
And so you don't have the, you don't have the streaming. And if you do find
00:08:06.792 --> 00:08:11.602
somebody that's covering and streaming, like it covers Garth Brooks on the streaming
00:08:11.602 --> 00:08:13.478
service, it's not the same.
00:08:14.088 --> 00:08:18.682
Of course not. No, it's not. And it's annoying because you get fooled.
00:08:18.682 --> 00:08:23.262
You're like, oh, this is, you know, going to be a Garth track somehow on Apple Music.
00:08:23.262 --> 00:08:27.992
And then you don't see the little fine print that says almost Garth.
00:08:27.992 --> 00:08:32.562
Almost garth or you know covered by you know like a dark books tribute
00:08:32.902 --> 00:08:37.932
should not be allowed honestly in my opinion like very annoying and i now to
00:08:37.932 --> 00:08:43.252
that i i like we talked about i mean it is an industry that but but again i
00:08:43.252 --> 00:08:47.802
think where we both landed too was that it probably isn't any any
00:08:48.162 --> 00:08:52.039
concern to garth i mean this is a person oh no no,
00:08:52.874 --> 00:08:57.826
the money is secondary i can only say at this point surely yeah so i i think i,
00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:02.952
well i took my uh i took my kids i'm i'm so interested in their perspective
00:09:02.952 --> 00:09:04.057
i didn't need to hear this
00:09:04.464 --> 00:09:08.372
like they you know i'd kind of like peek down as you know karen and i are belting
00:09:08.372 --> 00:09:13.242
out the songs again you know knowing every lyric and you know so much my mom
00:09:13.242 --> 00:09:16.894
was watching me diana said and i'm sure you know like yeah it's a blast blast
00:09:17.167 --> 00:09:20.732
just following following garth and you know all that stuff like oh we're gonna
00:09:20.732 --> 00:09:23.058
hold this note i got you garth i'll hold the note too so.
00:09:24.742 --> 00:09:28.632
Dorky so much yeah we are now we're all holding it but you know i look down
00:09:28.632 --> 00:09:32.432
at the kids and they're just kind of like you know bobbing along they're having
00:09:32.432 --> 00:09:38.436
a good time but they're not they're not i know every lyric to this but no thing that,
00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:44.082
you know regardless of you know some of the genres that i listen to just pick
00:09:44.082 --> 00:09:47.168
on new country or pop country or you know whatever it is,
00:09:48.439 --> 00:09:53.493
The thing that I was remembering or, you know, that kind of Garth brings back
00:09:53.493 --> 00:09:57.106
is that the songs used to have a story.
00:09:57.524 --> 00:10:03.957
They used to be storytelling songs, right? Like every, like the Thunder Rolls. There's a story there.
00:10:04.893 --> 00:10:07.995
Beaches of Cheyenne. Friends of Low Places, Beaches of Cheyenne.
00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:13.857
Have you heard, Ben was telling me about, have you heard the conspiracy theory
00:10:14.217 --> 00:10:15.442
surrounding Garth Brooks?
00:10:16.113 --> 00:10:19.528
What a what a tremendous thing,
00:10:20.144 --> 00:10:25.362
i follow so twitter this is so shocker i i came across this on twitter okay,
00:10:25.862 --> 00:10:30.743
and it was this group of people okay that that are of course they were fish
00:10:30.743 --> 00:10:35.173
adjacent of course some of these people they were in this other kind of subgroup
00:10:35.173 --> 00:10:39.056
of humans and often they would just randomly tweet,
00:10:39.718 --> 00:10:41.657
garth where are the bodies.
00:10:42.475 --> 00:10:47.783
And I would just be like, I don't understand this. So I knew something about
00:10:47.783 --> 00:10:51.603
them. So I reached out and I'm like, tell me more about what you what are we
00:10:51.603 --> 00:10:55.042
talking about with these kind of random Garth Brooks tweets?
00:10:55.449 --> 00:11:00.893
And then it became then I dug more. And yes, the theory is, do you would you like to explain it?
00:11:01.433 --> 00:11:05.373
I want you. I'd love to hear your your explanation of it. I'm only probably
00:11:05.373 --> 00:11:10.722
surface deep. You've probably gone a little deeper, maybe. But but we'll see.
00:11:11.134 --> 00:11:15.707
So there is a conspiracy theory out there that Garth Brooks is a serial killer,
00:11:15.829 --> 00:11:21.573
okay, based, and if you just heard that and you're having a weird reaction,
00:11:21.573 --> 00:11:23.398
you should. I did too, okay?
00:11:23.689 --> 00:11:29.573
Now, I will tell you, just like all conspiracies, that someone has done some
00:11:29.573 --> 00:11:31.173
level of research behind it.
00:11:31.553 --> 00:11:35.770
And remember, I hate the concept that numbers don't lie.
00:11:36.112 --> 00:11:41.693
I hate the concept that we've learned that do your research is not usually,
00:11:41.693 --> 00:11:44.628
if you're doing it on the internet, all these other things, you can't go by it.
00:11:45.041 --> 00:11:52.133
But someone has put together enough dots to basically come up with this theory
00:11:52.133 --> 00:11:56.893
that if you follow Garth Brooks tours around when he goes to different cities, OK.
00:11:57.596 --> 00:12:04.173
That there is some sort of uptick in unknown murders and unsolved murders in that time.
00:12:04.173 --> 00:12:09.730
And there's enough in their theory and in their world, there is enough coincidence,
00:12:10.393 --> 00:12:15.695
in that, that they are pretty convinced that yes, Garth Brooks is a murderer.
00:12:16.096 --> 00:12:19.683
Is this what you're speaking on? Yeah, so I think there's a,
00:12:19.683 --> 00:12:21.634
the other thing that I would say is it's.
00:12:22.642 --> 00:12:27.341
You know, as we learned when he introduced the band and the crew and all that,
00:12:27.341 --> 00:12:32.110
these people have been with him for a long time, a very long time.
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:37.371
So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably not Garth Brooks
00:12:37.371 --> 00:12:42.159
that's a killer. It's probably, it's probably some dude driving the truck or, you know, these guys.
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.701
Always the drummer. No, the drummer. No, it wasn't a drummer because remember
00:12:45.701 --> 00:12:49.941
that was the dude that they brought from Nashville. The drummer was one of the
00:12:49.941 --> 00:12:51.931
studio players, so it couldn't be him.
00:12:52.411 --> 00:12:56.731
He didn't always travel with Garth, so great point Yeah, that's a good point of end.
00:12:58.311 --> 00:13:02.551
Well, you know, so, I mean, when you're When you're having When you're sitting
00:13:02.551 --> 00:13:07.271
next to a detective On night two You know, you really start to listen to some
00:13:07.271 --> 00:13:09.847
of these songs A little different, you know Like,
00:13:10.415 --> 00:13:13.869
you start to listen to the beaches of Cheyenne And you're like, hmm, he doesn't,
00:13:15.026 --> 00:13:21.506
And then he plays two piña coladas, and it's like, I buried her in the sand?
00:13:21.506 --> 00:13:23.999
He's giving you clues, Matt.
00:13:24.266 --> 00:13:29.967
He's giving you clues as to where all of these women's bodies have been buried.
00:13:30.524 --> 00:13:33.656
I'm going to try to bring you back from the edge here, okay?
00:13:33.656 --> 00:13:38.566
You're speaking like these random Twitter friends that I made.
00:13:38.566 --> 00:13:42.423
And trust me, these are not the people you want to start agreeing with, Andy.
00:13:43.026 --> 00:13:48.906
I can't tell you enough. So I understand. Listen, as I dug deeper, I saw the moments.
00:13:49.206 --> 00:13:55.146
I didn't really tie as much lyrics, Matt. The lyrics are the clues, man.
00:13:56.686 --> 00:14:02.916
Now, now I want. So I so let's I will I will try to exonerate Garth on that end.
00:14:02.916 --> 00:14:06.586
OK. And this is actually interesting information. OK. And Garth shares some
00:14:06.586 --> 00:14:11.853
of this. He shares, you know, you don't hear some of it. Sometimes you do hear some. OK.
00:14:12.294 --> 00:14:16.556
Very, very few. And I'm curious, actually, what the number would be of Garth
00:14:16.556 --> 00:14:18.096
Brooks songs are written by Garth.
00:14:18.096 --> 00:14:24.126
OK, these are songs that are written by songwriters. Many of them are like Garth's
00:14:24.506 --> 00:14:27.961
songwriters. OK, for example, like That Summer.
00:14:28.071 --> 00:14:32.376
OK, it's written by a guy by the name of Pat Algar. An incredible songwriter.
00:14:32.376 --> 00:14:36.446
That was one Ben and I talked about because we may have a statutory situation
00:14:36.446 --> 00:14:38.086
on our hands. We don't know how old that kid is.
00:14:38.266 --> 00:14:46.206
Now, there are such incredible cringy lyrics in probably all of the 90s.
00:14:46.206 --> 00:14:50.576
If we were to go back and look at late 80s, early 90s music and look at the
00:14:50.576 --> 00:14:55.326
lyrics, it would be a litany of cringy, gross, weird stuff.
00:14:55.326 --> 00:15:02.193
But I would say in Gar's case, there are several moments that if you listen a little closer, okay,
00:15:02.905 --> 00:15:06.509
Let's think about Baton Rouge. Okay. Yeah.
00:15:06.909 --> 00:15:10.591
We're such a strange combination of a woman and a child, right?
00:15:10.885 --> 00:15:16.129
That type of lyric. Now, again, remember, Garth did not write that lyric.
00:15:16.909 --> 00:15:19.688
But he is saying them out loud.
00:15:19.915 --> 00:15:24.013
Also, you know why he was stopping every hundred miles?
00:15:24.712 --> 00:15:28.659
He dismembered her. Dude, he cut her off, man. I know, and he was dropping her
00:15:28.659 --> 00:15:29.489
body and all kinds of things.
00:15:29.549 --> 00:15:32.804
They're dropping the body a hundred miles apart. That's why he stopped.
00:15:33.404 --> 00:15:36.519
I want to make sure that for our listeners we give a little trigger warning
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:42.409
it no it's okay we're not none of this is real okay please understand that no one,
00:15:43.009 --> 00:15:47.569
garth i think to your point you know in all seriousness i'm not garth it's one
00:15:47.569 --> 00:15:50.921
of the we all know it's not garth it's one of the crew members,
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.889
could it be his wife we haven't
discussed that enough you know maybe it is because
00:15:55.889 --> 00:16:00.032
you really haven't heard her much recently you did see him playing with his,
00:16:00.585 --> 00:16:03.424
wedding ring a bunch. Did you notice that? Yeah, I did.
00:16:04.149 --> 00:16:08.629
Which I remember always a psychological type thing. Like Freud would always,
00:16:08.629 --> 00:16:11.059
anytime you're playing with your wedding ring to me it's like,
00:16:11.059 --> 00:16:14.149
you know, if you were in front of a therapist, you know, that would be something
00:16:14.149 --> 00:16:16.699
they would notice, you know, and kind of question on them like,
00:16:16.699 --> 00:16:17.484
what's going on over there?
00:16:18.018 --> 00:16:24.519
Yeah, I think really what Garth was showing there is that he is just like every
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.730
other married man and just the.
00:16:28.484 --> 00:16:29.804
Hey, congratulations on the
00:16:29.804 --> 00:16:33.554
vows and your left finger being uncomfortable for the rest of your life.
00:16:34.234 --> 00:16:38.814
So fair. The ring never fits. I don't wear mine because it falls off at work
00:16:38.814 --> 00:16:40.454
and I will lose it. It never fits right.
00:16:41.154 --> 00:16:46.224
I wear the silicone jobber. Because the gold one and even the silicone job.
00:16:46.224 --> 00:16:50.680
I don't play with the silicone one as much as I did with the gold one.
00:16:52.021 --> 00:16:58.054
It's just, yeah. But we need toys. So anyway, it was great. Both nights were great.
00:16:59.754 --> 00:17:02.664
30 years, I think that's a great thing to think about, too.
00:17:02.664 --> 00:17:05.164
This is something I've been sharing with friends and I, you know,
00:17:05.164 --> 00:17:07.794
or, you know, people work or people have to tell that story to,
00:17:07.794 --> 00:17:11.374
you know, I think the fact that and honestly, it's rare nowadays,
00:17:11.374 --> 00:17:14.127
you know, the fact that we we all went to,
00:17:14.661 --> 00:17:18.725
you know, that his concert 30 years ago, you know, you know,
00:17:19.831 --> 00:17:21.884
you know, it's embellishing the story a little bit.
00:17:21.884 --> 00:17:24.364
We went to different nights, you know, and different, you know,
00:17:24.364 --> 00:17:30.014
but to that, we all then went together again, you know, 30 years later,
00:17:30.014 --> 00:17:31.554
you know, which I think is cool.
00:17:31.554 --> 00:17:35.224
And that includes Chris, you know, in that crowd as well, who was also at,
00:17:35.224 --> 00:17:39.154
you know, the 30 years ago Gar shows. So, yeah, I think that that's kind of
00:17:39.154 --> 00:17:43.502
the neatest part of it. I just had those moments, you know, those thoughts so many times, you know.
00:17:44.123 --> 00:17:49.272
I just kept trying to over the course of two nights, like the people that would hold up songs.
00:17:49.649 --> 00:17:58.711
So like for our night he did all the request the the sign requests at the encore right,
00:17:59.938 --> 00:18:03.644
it sounds right it sounds like they all that well the band all left the stage
00:18:03.644 --> 00:18:09.234
and then he was up his guitar and him the second night he stopped mid-show and
00:18:09.234 --> 00:18:11.894
took a request Oh, he saw something.
00:18:12.274 --> 00:18:15.020
Yeah. So, he saw something. Seeger? Huh?
00:18:16.419 --> 00:18:21.016
Was this a Seeger? No, no, it wasn't Seeger. No, Seeger was a planned thing.
00:18:21.272 --> 00:18:26.264
And that was kind of the cool thing about going two nights. I would say 80 to
00:18:26.264 --> 00:18:27.815
85% of the show is the same.
00:18:29.255 --> 00:18:32.948
And then you got that 15% that's like, oh, that's different. Wait, did he do?
00:18:33.308 --> 00:18:37.353
Cause he did not do, uh, Friends in Little Places wasn't part of the encore.
00:18:38.183 --> 00:18:42.068
And he did not come back for the guitar. The guitar was laying on the center
00:18:42.068 --> 00:18:43.971
of the stage. And I was just like, watch the guitar.
00:18:44.267 --> 00:18:47.028
Oh, the guitar is still there. And it's like, oh, the lights are on.
00:18:47.028 --> 00:18:49.957
I guess, I guess we're leaving. Time for us to go now. Oh, God.
00:18:51.388 --> 00:18:55.468
So he only, he only did, I'm going to, before we move on, cause we're,
00:18:55.468 --> 00:18:57.228
we're a little low on, on time tonight.
00:18:58.171 --> 00:19:05.148
We took last week off So we felt that We needed to get back But yeah, it was It was.
00:19:07.008 --> 00:19:11.204
He only did one encore.
00:19:11.477 --> 00:19:16.202
So I want you to tell our listeners your thoughts on the encore.
00:19:17.303 --> 00:19:21.833
On his encore? No, just the encore in general. Hate encores.
00:19:21.833 --> 00:19:28.693
Listen, we have to end this ridiculous tradition. And so in my world,
00:19:28.693 --> 00:19:32.653
okay, the first thing I told you walking in, I said, Andy, this concert smells
00:19:32.653 --> 00:19:36.573
a little different than most concerts. I just could throw that out there.
00:19:37.003 --> 00:19:42.413
The second thing, in my world, in my concerts, you know, they insist on doing
00:19:42.413 --> 00:19:45.643
encores, okay? And it's kind of part of the lore, you know, what are they going
00:19:45.643 --> 00:19:48.211
to play on the encore and all of that, okay? And that's fine, okay?
00:19:49.183 --> 00:19:54.073
But some traditions are old, they're outdated, and they should be ended, okay?
00:19:54.073 --> 00:19:56.893
And I think all of us realize we know what's going to happen,
00:19:56.893 --> 00:20:01.342
Andy. No matter if we cheer loud, no matter if we cheer at none,
00:20:01.934 --> 00:20:06.103
maybe if we boo, I guess they might not come out. They might not come out.
00:20:06.103 --> 00:20:08.163
Or if people just decide, hey, you know what, we're at.
00:20:08.543 --> 00:20:11.503
We're going to leave. Exactly. If people just bail. But what we do know,
00:20:11.503 -->
00:20:14.043
but I'm not sure of that. I'd actually like to test that out.
00:20:14.043 --> 00:20:16.843
I'd like to test that out on a fish show, honestly. I would love for all of
00:20:16.843 --> 00:20:20.620
us to just get together and say, what happens if we just all boo during the encore part?
00:20:20.841 --> 00:20:25.415
Instead of cheering mindlessly like a bunch of morons, like we always do.
00:20:25.769 --> 00:20:28.963
And, you know, let's see what happens if we do something different.
00:20:28.963 --> 00:20:33.304
And I would just argue that it's wasted time, Andy. Listen, I'm a deficiency guy now.
00:20:34.003 --> 00:20:37.925
Listen, as I get older, weirdly enough, I have less patience with wasted time,
00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:40.463
okay? And so I don't understand.
00:20:41.263 --> 00:20:44.613
That's 10, 15, 5 minutes. I don't care how long it is that you could have been
00:20:44.613 --> 00:20:46.833
playing a freaking song that I paid for.
00:20:47.443 --> 00:20:52.833
Do you feel like, let me ask you this. I mean, in fairness, let me put you a
00:20:52.833 --> 00:20:56.012
little devil's advocate. Okay, so we've already...
00:20:56.645 --> 00:21:00.092
Now, Garth is not a wardrobe guy. Not a wardrobe guy, right?
00:21:00.092 --> 00:21:03.181
Oh, thank God. No wardrobe changes for Garth. Yes.
00:21:03.762 --> 00:21:07.762
He probably needed one. Funnily enough, he is a guy that probably actually needed,
00:21:08.301 --> 00:21:10.171
one. Most artists don't that do.
00:21:10.456 --> 00:21:16.312
He was, it was black shirt. So he was navy blue shirt our night and then black
00:21:16.312 --> 00:21:19.154
shirt the next night. And yeah, you can see.
00:21:19.498 --> 00:21:24.282
But my question is, you know, I mean, we're both middle-aged.
00:21:24.282 --> 00:21:26.319
I think that's fair to say of us.
00:21:26.985 --> 00:21:28.540
Garth is 64.
00:21:29.683 --> 00:21:31.929
Is it possible that that man just need to go pee pee?
00:21:33.220 --> 00:21:39.848
I mean, he'd just been, he'd been playing, he'd been running around for an hour and 45. Is it possible?
00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:46.766
That he had to go potty. Listen, there are many things... Or go kill someone.
00:21:47.265 --> 00:21:50.980
Could he murder... Again, let's look at the news. That's probably when he does
00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:53.041
the murder. It's during...
00:21:53.674 --> 00:22:00.000
Because, hey, there's people around, right? Oh, no, I was at the Garth show. Garth was there.
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:08.722
He's got witnesses. He's got 20,000 alibis. But there's a few minutes,
00:22:10.774 --> 00:22:13.660
where... And he's still good at it now. I mean, he's been doing it for 30 years,
00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:17.240
so he's still good at it now. He only needs about 10 minutes to get it done.
00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:22.070
He's already got his, you know, he's down. I will say that I felt that night
00:22:22.070 --> 00:22:26.650
two's encore, like it felt like he went
down the stairs.
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:32.488
Just kept her moving, walked right on back up the other side.
00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:38.000
Again, I prefer that at least. That makes me feel much better.
00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.260
Don't make me sit here and wait and clap at you because, again,
00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:44.398
Andy, times are hard, buddy.
00:22:44.619 --> 00:22:47.700
Listen, Garth, I think, works on price controlling his tickets,
00:22:47.700 --> 00:22:50.430
but that does not mean that Garth tickets are cheap, okay? Now,
00:22:50.430 --> 00:22:54.179
I feel like I got my money's worth. Trust me, I'm not complaining about the money.
00:22:54.552 --> 00:22:58.550
I would just, again, say that any artist that I'm seeing, as much time as you
00:22:58.550 --> 00:23:03.520
can spend on the stage and not walking back off and off and doing something
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:04.773
that we know is performative.
00:23:05.030 --> 00:23:08.130
Again, if you are, I mean, I don't like the wardrobe changes.
00:23:08.355 --> 00:23:12.490
You know when we saw Beyonce I mean that's at the concert baby now that's part
00:23:12.490 --> 00:23:16.330
of Beyonce's thing right it's like wow what she's gonna wear and it's some wild
00:23:16.330 --> 00:23:17.969
crazy thing right I get that
00:23:18.329 --> 00:23:22.840
okay but when these wardrobe changes were happening it was like no like what
00:23:22.840 --> 00:23:24.888
is going on baby now they tried to entertain you
00:23:25.282 --> 00:23:27.320
but it was just too many and too much so
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:31.330
but to that at least that has a purpose that's not performative does that make
00:23:31.330 --> 00:23:35.290
sense that's not like literally just we know you're coming back dummies you
00:23:35.290 --> 00:23:38.450
just you know what I mean so like that's they don't change To that point,
00:23:38.450 --> 00:23:39.689
Garth ain't down there changing.
00:23:40.113 --> 00:23:42.660
Garth ain't down there. If he is peeing, Andy, then that's fine.
00:23:42.660 --> 00:23:44.734
Then take that two minutes. Now, I would argue...
00:23:45.753 --> 00:23:50.310
That's what I mean about like, yes, if you tell me that a band or a band,
00:23:50.629 --> 00:23:54.582
it plays so long, works so hard. So here's where I go with it, Andy.
00:23:55.778 --> 00:24:01.589
I love a set break. Okay. In the jam band world, they play two sets.
00:24:01.745 --> 00:24:06.053
Now, I love the set break. Keep the set break. Okay. It's like in a play.
00:24:06.215 --> 00:24:09.652
Right. What do they do when you go see a play? There's an intermission.
00:24:10.343 --> 00:24:13.924
I love an intermission. Love that. Right? Go potty.
00:24:14.336 --> 00:24:17.984
The band gets to go potty. The band gets to relax and take a breather.
00:24:18.284 --> 00:24:22.376
I know it's coming. You know what I'm not going to sit and do at my seat during the intermission?
00:24:22.516 --> 00:24:27.864
Clap like a mindless idiot because I
know the band is coming back out or the
00:24:27.864 --> 00:24:29.633
play is going to happen here in a little bit.
00:24:29.871 --> 00:24:35.384
So I wander. I potty. I get a drink. I go to merch tents. You know, I like that.
00:24:35.704 --> 00:24:43.541
Again, just don't make me, again, I feel very, again, I don't like to feel like
00:24:43.930 --> 00:24:48.174
I'm being manipulated, if that makes sense.
00:24:48.655 --> 00:24:51.424
Yeah, you know, I can see where you're at on the, yeah, I mean,
00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:54.419
that makes sense. Because we all know that they're coming back out.
00:24:54.924 --> 00:24:59.554
Just so, this is the other part. Sometimes don't come back out then.
00:24:59.554 --> 00:25:02.204
That would also be as annoying as that might be.
00:25:02.476 --> 00:25:06.144
At least then you would get it, right? Like a fish show, I've always said that.
00:25:06.144 --> 00:25:10.164
I'm like, they have literally played an encore. They played over 2,000 shows
00:25:10.164 --> 00:25:12.461
in their career. They have played an encore every time.
00:25:12.972 --> 00:25:16.944
I would love for them just once. It'd be the funniest thing possible and see
00:25:16.944 --> 00:25:18.884
how long everybody stayed, right? Don't turn off.
00:25:19.524 --> 00:25:23.574
Yeah, you are like, it would be the funny. They have a possibility.
00:25:23.574 --> 00:25:26.544
There's that meme of like, they could do the funniest thing here.
00:25:26.823 --> 00:25:30.310
That's exactly the funniest thing fish could do is not come back out.
00:25:30.699 --> 00:25:34.948
Do you know where the saying, Elvis has left the building.
00:25:35.053 --> 00:25:37.604
Do you know where that originated? Because people were like...
00:25:37.704 --> 00:25:42.669
They were like, they're waiting for the encore. The other encore.
00:25:42.837 --> 00:25:44.264
And so they would have to come over.
00:25:46.959 --> 00:25:53.344
Hey, just letting you know, those of you that are still sitting here clapping. Cheering. Going crazy.
00:25:55.231 --> 00:25:59.244
No matter how loud you keep yelling, no matter how much the man ain't hearing
00:25:59.244 --> 00:26:01.065
it, he's out in the interstate.
00:26:01.624 --> 00:26:03.787
Elvis has left. he's gone yeah,
00:26:04.893 --> 00:26:08.356
He's not coming back out. I love that. I love that. So literally,
00:26:08.652 --> 00:26:10.788
it's perfect. Played the last song.
00:26:11.621 --> 00:26:15.053
Make an announcement that you've left the building and that is the show,
00:26:15.053 --> 00:26:17.993
baby. And I'm okay with that. And there is, the only thing I will say to that,
00:26:17.993 --> 00:26:22.157
Andy, the reason I say this is that there are bands that have started to do this.
00:26:22.627 --> 00:26:27.993
There are younger bands who see this tradition as dumb and have started to just
00:26:27.993 --> 00:26:30.743
play through. So if there's a cutoff, because you have a curfew,
00:26:30.743 --> 00:26:33.973
there's a reason a concert ends when it ends. It's not like Garth Brooks gets
00:26:33.973 --> 00:26:36.121
to play as long as he wants. He says that.
00:26:36.429 --> 00:26:37.513
Again, work in the crowd. I'm
00:26:37.513 --> 00:26:40.373
going to play all night. We're going to play all night. No, you're not.
00:26:40.793 --> 00:26:45.683
You're going to be there at the hard curfew at 1045. And you know why,
00:26:45.683 --> 00:26:47.586
right? Because they pay a fine.
00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:54.373
If you're playing late, it is a tremendous fine to the artist if you play late.
00:26:54.373 --> 00:26:59.153
Okay, so there are, and I've seen it listed, there's soft curfews and then there's hard curfews.
00:26:59.733 --> 00:27:03.637
Most arenas nowadays, venues have hard curfews.
00:27:03.875 --> 00:27:08.903
So again, it goes back to that. You can't play all night. That is not a thing.
00:27:08.903 --> 00:27:10.185
And no matter how much you cheer.
00:27:10.709 --> 00:27:14.963
So the venue is the reason why the venue has the hard curfew is because they
00:27:14.963 --> 00:27:21.203
have people that they have to pay to security, state security,
00:27:21.203 --> 00:27:23.533
cleanup, consent, you know, all that stuff.
00:27:23.533 --> 00:27:27.973
They've got they've got hard costs. So if Garth genuinely as he told us he was
00:27:27.973 --> 00:27:31.963
going to do, because if he said, if you keep cheering like this,
00:27:31.963 --> 00:27:34.762
Kansas City, it's going to be a late night.
00:27:35.076 --> 00:27:39.737
And by late, we mean exactly 1015. Not one minute.
00:27:39.842 --> 00:27:44.113
Not a minute because it's going to cost me thousands hundreds of thousands of
00:27:44.113 --> 00:27:49.463
dollars right so yeah and i'm for it right because again remember those people
00:27:49.463 --> 00:27:50.713
are working they don't want to work yeah,
00:27:51.173 --> 00:27:54.083
i don't know how much uh i don't know how much chief stuff you want to get into
00:27:54.083 --> 00:27:56.204
we only got maybe 10 minutes left but,
00:27:56.738 --> 00:28:00.143
i wanted to i mentioned this to you but i feel like the listeners need to know
00:28:00.143 --> 00:28:04.563
so i've got a client that they do some stuff out at morton amphitheater so they
00:28:04.563 --> 00:28:06.881
get a lot of tickets out there and he was like,
00:28:07.741 --> 00:28:09.348
we went to a Led Zeppelin show.
00:28:10.405 --> 00:28:15.489
And it started at, I think it started at six o'clock, maybe even five 30.
00:28:15.489 --> 00:28:18.880
He's like, it was over by eight o'clock.
00:28:19.635 --> 00:28:23.139
He's like, you want to talk about knowing your audience? That's what I mean.
00:28:23.229 --> 00:28:28.029
I'm telling you, people are starting to, and I've literally said that the other
00:28:28.029 --> 00:28:32.079
day. I went and saw a local artist that I really like here, a buddy of mine.
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:36.972
I would consider him now, you know, and he got
done at like eight o'clock and I was not mad.
00:28:37.216 --> 00:28:41.429
I i was kind of looked at deanna i'm like this is fabulous and she's like well
00:28:41.429 --> 00:28:46.199
it seems early i'm like nope it's perfect like i'm i'm good baby i'm you know
00:28:46.199 --> 00:28:50.148
so yes once you're on you know you look around and you go hey you know this is,
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.429
this is the this is the early this is the matinee crowd you know these these
00:28:54.429 --> 00:28:58.239
are the this is you know if you're if you're a def leppard if you're a led zeppelin
00:28:58.239 --> 00:29:02.899
if you're a you know a rock band that is you know 60 year olds and 70 year olds
00:29:02.899 --> 00:29:04.093
are coming to your show there.
00:29:04.736 --> 00:29:07.479
They ain't trying to be there. They don't, they actually, you're going to sit
00:29:07.479 --> 00:29:12.349
there and say, I'm going to be here all night. They'll be like, oh no. Well, we won't.
00:29:13.349 --> 00:29:15.439
You know, I'm going to have to let the dog out. I'm going to have to let the
00:29:15.439 --> 00:29:19.449
dog out here. Boo, boo. End on time. End.
00:29:22.049 --> 00:29:26.529
On time. Fabulous. Well, Garth was a great time, man. We need to do more stuff like that.
00:29:26.849 --> 00:29:32.650
What do you, what do you have to say about the, the Chiefs game this, this past weekend?
00:29:33.302 --> 00:29:37.449
And, uh, you know, kind of a blech, one of those ones that really looked like,
00:29:37.449 --> 00:29:40.947
oh my gosh, this is how you let a, a bad team stick around with,
00:29:41.377 --> 00:29:45.652
you know, some, some fumbles and let them have an eight minute drive. But...
00:29:46.716 --> 00:29:51.124
It, you know, kind of turned into a relatively comfortable dub.
00:29:51.124 --> 00:29:53.934
You know, the news story this week is that,
00:29:55.314 --> 00:29:59.144
the kicker continues to— people are questioning his accuracy,
00:29:59.144 --> 00:30:01.340
and I'm just not sure if that's actually,
00:30:02.327 --> 00:30:11.734
correct because I saw a 56-yard field goal and a 51-yard field goal that were identical. So, I mean,
00:30:14.011 --> 00:30:18.964
I'm telling you, man, they were identical. If you're calling him inconsistent, you're wrong.
00:30:18.964 --> 00:30:24.484
Right. He's actually consistently missing, and they are exactly the same and
00:30:24.484 --> 00:30:27.704
in the exact same place, which, again, I don't know if that's better or worse.
00:30:27.704 --> 00:30:32.224
I would argue it's probably better because you would think you could calibrate
00:30:32.224 --> 00:30:34.914
from that, right, just like a golf swing, just like anything else.
00:30:34.914 --> 00:30:38.392
I mean, when I'm hitting a golf ball, I face this way to try to hit it this way.
00:30:38.642 --> 00:30:41.294
You know what I mean? Yeah. Right.
00:30:43.114 --> 00:30:47.894
Did you hear Tobe this week talking about it? saying that he would
rather have
00:30:47.894 --> 00:30:52.144
missed left because left means it's physical.
00:30:52.748 --> 00:30:55.180
Missing right means that it's mental.
00:30:55.825 --> 00:30:59.504
And what he was saying by that is if he was missing left, it's that he's,
00:30:59.504 --> 00:31:02.785
you know, on your golf shot analogy, he's getting through it too quick.
00:31:03.806 --> 00:31:07.051
But when he's missing right, he's not finishing the kick.
00:31:07.648 --> 00:31:12.907
So if you think about a golf shot that slices, most of the reason why the golf
00:31:13.069 --> 00:31:15.931
shot slices is that you don't finish your swing.
00:31:16.540 --> 00:31:19.710
They hit the ball and kind of stop the club, so the club face actually doesn't
00:31:20.122 --> 00:31:26.078
ever really get closed. And so that's what Tobe was saying this week.
00:31:27.032 --> 00:31:31.028
I would compare Tobe and Butker to Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston.
00:31:31.028 --> 00:31:36.348
This is a couple that needs to kind of, they're both to blame,
00:31:36.348 --> 00:31:40.658
and they both need to leave each other and break up because it would be better for both of them.
00:31:41.758 --> 00:31:45.933
Well, they decided that Butker wasn't the special teams issue,
00:31:46.049 --> 00:31:48.075
that it was really Nico Remigio.
00:31:48.237 --> 00:31:52.823
So now that Nico's no longer on the team, I expect that Butker's going to be
00:31:53.107 --> 00:31:56.369
just fine. I think we've identified what the issue is.
00:31:56.706 --> 00:32:01.848
Yes. And then again, and I would say, and I think it is tricky because I am
00:32:01.848 --> 00:32:05.988
no, the idea that I'm sitting up here as some sort of butker apologist,
00:32:05.988 --> 00:32:09.470
I want to be careful and I want to qualify that I am not. Okay.
00:32:10.161 --> 00:32:15.448
But this is the natural situation with the success that we've had,
00:32:15.448 --> 00:32:18.020
Andy. Right. And you saw it with the royals.
00:32:18.618 --> 00:32:22.658
You see it, you know, with dynasties. And so that's the blessing,
00:32:22.658 --> 00:32:24.214
but then also the curse. Right.
00:32:24.574 --> 00:32:27.355
Is that, you know, so Chris Jones' contract,
00:32:28.191 --> 00:32:32.434
I would argue mirrors exactly Alex Gordon's contract, right?
00:32:32.846 --> 00:32:38.957
That, you know, you're paying that for what they did in the past and because
00:32:38.957 --> 00:32:45.667
what they did in the past was so freaking awesome and you end up paying a tax at the end of that.
00:32:46.527 --> 00:32:53.507
You pay the premium because they earned it, but the back end of those contracts are hard.
00:32:53.774 --> 00:32:59.007
Yes and they'll and and to that when they fail and when they start to struggle
00:32:59.007 --> 00:33:01.192
you give them more chances than others,
00:33:01.787 --> 00:33:07.567
based on their prior success and i it's hard to argue with that now again like
00:33:07.567 --> 00:33:11.847
i'm a business is a business baby you gotta if they said tomorrow they had dropped
00:33:11.847 --> 00:33:13.567
him and moved on i'm not i'm
00:33:13.907 --> 00:33:17.947
i don't blame them and it's fine but i also see why they're doing what they're
00:33:17.947 --> 00:33:20.899
doing i guess the thing with butker is,
00:33:21.398 --> 00:33:27.302
the odd thing with him is like if you put any number other than a five in front of the,
00:33:27.917 --> 00:33:30.587
it's almost like he used 60 even a six,
00:33:31.227 --> 00:33:36.578
it's almost like the 69 yarder he hit in preseason was it's like thanos ring
00:33:36.718 --> 00:33:42.244
like he took it took everything out of him to hit that and then it was like,
00:33:42.952 --> 00:33:46.842
You know what it is? Okay. I hate to say it this way too, but you know,
00:33:47.282 --> 00:33:51.432
think about what kind of happens at the end of sometimes people's dogs,
00:33:51.432 --> 00:33:52.602
lives, things like that.
00:33:52.602 --> 00:33:55.602
Right. They have that like burst of energy, right? They have that,
00:33:55.602 --> 00:33:58.682
like all of a sudden they're like better for a second, you know?
00:33:58.682 --> 00:34:02.002
And you're like, wow, it's good to change and it's turning on.
00:34:02.002 --> 00:34:05.962
And then the next day they're gone. You know what I mean? And so I just put
00:34:05.962 --> 00:34:07.732
it in that terms because that is.
00:34:08.482 --> 00:34:14.612
But it is a bit like that That 69 yarder was the last jolt Of the last bit of
00:34:14.612 --> 00:34:18.622
just energy out of him That's it That was it,
00:34:19.302 --> 00:34:25.287
You slowly are kind of fading off from that Yes So I think.
00:34:26.182 --> 00:34:30.952
I mean listen If he doesn't get right this week This is a very interesting week
00:34:30.952 --> 00:34:35.341
for him Specifically and personally Oh yeah, homecomers Personally,
00:34:35.643 --> 00:34:36.966
I don't care if we don't see him.
00:34:38.062 --> 00:34:42.082
To me, if they trot him out six times to kick 33-yarders, great.
00:34:42.422 --> 00:34:44.922
That means you put up six touchdowns.
00:34:45.302 --> 00:34:48.182
He needs to make all those, though, Andy. People are talking about,
00:34:48.602 --> 00:34:52.006
and he has, but he has. I know, so far.
00:34:52.128 --> 00:34:54.892
But the funny thing is, is people are talking about, well, we need Butker to
00:34:54.892 --> 00:34:57.480
make these 58-yarders. How about this?
00:34:58.282 --> 00:35:04.442
Go with me here. Let's just score touchdowns. Or you stall out at the 20.
00:35:04.442 --> 00:35:07.347
You stall out at the 23, and you're kicking 40-yarders. Like,
00:35:07.666 --> 00:35:13.172
it wasn't too long ago that a 50-yard field goal was rare. You know,
00:35:13.172 --> 00:35:16.972
like, now it's like, oh, my God. You know, it's like, yeah, he's missing 50.
00:35:16.972 --> 00:35:17.813
Like, what's wrong with him?
00:35:18.631 --> 00:35:23.013
But, you know, first of all, it's
a homecoming. So there's no way they were going to cut him.
00:35:23.667 --> 00:35:26.982
Not right before. Guarantee he's a captain this week because that's how Andy
00:35:26.982 --> 00:35:29.495
is, man. Guy goes, plays near his hometown. He's a captain.
00:35:29.826 --> 00:35:32.682
Butker will be a captain. Well, he's getting inducted into some Hall of Fame
00:35:32.682 --> 00:35:36.012
or something, too. He was in – they put him in the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame.
00:35:36.012 --> 00:35:39.468
So Georgia Tech's in Atlanta, he grew up in Decatur, a suburb.
00:35:40.513 --> 00:35:47.723
The fact of the matter is, if you're in Atlanta, this is the pristine condition for a kicker.
00:35:48.103 --> 00:35:50.480
We have no, we have turf.
00:35:51.084 --> 00:35:55.793
Exactly. Okay. We have an indoor. There is no, there is no, hey,
00:35:55.793 --> 00:35:57.770
you know, there's a slight five mile an hour.
00:35:59.243 --> 00:36:02.923
They already did the whole like protection and he kicked around the protection
00:36:02.923 --> 00:36:06.983
thing. Remember that excuse of like, it would have got blocked if he kicked
00:36:06.983 --> 00:36:08.457
it down the middle. Did you hear that shit?
00:36:08.962 --> 00:36:12.233
That was a real thing. Yeah. that was a real thing that they said out loud was
00:36:12.233 --> 00:36:16.317
that part of why he went right on one of the kicks that he kicked was that he
00:36:16.532 --> 00:36:21.971
somehow which this is nonsense he saw that they were getting penetration up the middle,
00:36:22.505 --> 00:36:26.623
and realized that he had to kick around the penetration in the middle and it
00:36:26.623 --> 00:36:28.133
was a protection problem and
00:36:28.133 --> 00:36:31.909
that's why he made the choice this is what i mean again this is this is
00:36:32.263 --> 00:36:36.083
this is what i mean about bobby and whitney and how like you sometimes you just
00:36:36.083 --> 00:36:40.843
need you need you're you're compensating for the other person you're what do
00:36:40.843 --> 00:36:42.343
they call it you know for an you're uh,
00:36:42.889 --> 00:36:48.493
enabling enabling this person you're making excuses for this person that everyone
00:36:48.493 --> 00:36:52.994
around you is saying what are you talking about man so that's what i mean like well and
00:36:53.274 --> 00:36:57.693
you know a lot of times too like he had he had missing issues a few years ago
00:36:57.693 --> 00:36:59.379
i don't i don't know if you remember that.
00:37:00.163 --> 00:37:05.703
What it came down to is it wasn't him it was the mechanic between the It was
00:37:05.703 --> 00:37:10.246
the operation between the snapper The kicker and the holder And it was something with the snap,
00:37:10.971 --> 00:37:18.998
That was often when he has been struggling, then they have pretty quickly chalked it up to an injury.
00:37:18.998 --> 00:37:23.818
And I'm not saying that that's wrong or right, but that has often been the case
00:37:23.818 --> 00:37:26.938
too, you know, and they haven't even come close to saying that.
00:37:26.938 --> 00:37:31.788
So anyway, man, we are running up against time, but I want to talk to you about
00:37:31.788 --> 00:37:34.580
the trade. They got Josh downs.
00:37:36.275 --> 00:37:42.538
Yeah. So, you know, hopefully that he's got, I believe you, you in the text
00:37:42.538 --> 00:37:47.519
to myself and kelly said that josh downs has a great ass would you like to you,
00:37:48.498 --> 00:37:53.224
you did say that and i'd like you to expand on why that man has a great ass
00:37:53.497 --> 00:37:59.018
so i want to be careful on this remembering that the world works in acronyms now okay so,
00:37:59.638 --> 00:38:04.788
that i i can imagine that this man has truly an incredible i i i have not yet
00:38:04.788 --> 00:38:06.998
to physically really focus on that part of,
00:38:07.778 --> 00:38:14.523
body i bet that is but this this though is actually average separation score,
00:38:15.034 --> 00:38:18.818
oh so when you said so that's what you meant that he gets,
00:38:19.759 --> 00:38:24.218
okay a ss acronym average separation and,
00:38:24.908 --> 00:38:29.698
he is apparently again now remember this is the type of stats that you come
00:38:29.698 --> 00:38:34.358
up with with again when you're trying to kind of justify yeah this feels like
00:38:34.358 --> 00:38:36.628
you know kind of squeezing things But to that.
00:38:37.859 --> 00:38:40.538
I don't think it is unimportant.
00:38:40.538 --> 00:38:43.738
It is a data point. It's not the data point. It's a data point,
00:38:43.738 --> 00:38:44.860
right? Let's call it that.
00:38:45.291 --> 00:38:47.058
He is third. Third?
00:38:47.715 --> 00:38:51.462
Third in half. He's got the third best ass in the entire league.
00:38:51.898 --> 00:38:53.616
Apparently, Garrett Wilson won.
00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:58.078
Okay. Zay Flowers, too, which I heard a comparison today of that. Yeah.
00:38:58.538 --> 00:39:00.998
I thought, okay. And Josh Downs, okay. No.
00:39:02.102 --> 00:39:07.345
Yeah, incredible. Now, to that, that then, let me give you some other numbers.
00:39:08.479 --> 00:39:13.259
Where do you think Xavier Worthy ranks? Well, I've already seen the— Oh,
00:39:13.259 --> 00:39:15.359
you're not going to be fair. This is not going to be fair.
00:39:15.999 --> 00:39:20.479
I'll tell the friend out there. He is 64th. Rasheed Rice is 84th.
00:39:20.479 --> 00:39:25.334
Oh, well, how many wide receivers are there that have been given the ask score?
00:39:25.717 --> 00:39:29.896
I can't imagine much more than 100 people have been created on the map. It is 85.
00:39:30.516 --> 00:39:36.339
It is 85? Really? Okay, so he is last or tied for last is where he gets to that
00:39:36.339 --> 00:39:39.619
point. So the piece is this, okay?
00:39:39.820 --> 00:39:44.329
I think, and again, let's start going through the quarterbacks my man has had, right?
00:39:44.329 --> 00:39:49.269
I mean, we're talking literally
Gardner Minshew was throwing to this man for
00:39:49.269 --> 00:39:53.396
a while, okay? So we want to understand that. Now, I think the Pat bump,
00:39:53.989 --> 00:39:57.692
we want to be careful there too. We haven't necessarily always seen that.
00:39:58.122 --> 00:40:02.279
But I can't imagine that if he truly does have the S score here,
00:40:02.279 --> 00:40:04.931
the S, let me rephrase that.
00:40:05.268 --> 00:40:09.959
If he really does have this average separation score, I would argue that's been
00:40:09.959 --> 00:40:10.951
what we've been missing.
00:40:11.235 --> 00:40:14.161
And that's what really Pat needs, right? That's that's.
00:40:14.911 --> 00:40:19.800
I think there's some trust issues that he has at times, and what he needs to
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:22.440
see is an open receiver to pull the trigger.
00:40:22.974 --> 00:40:28.953
And unfortunately for Rasheed Rice and for Xavier Worthy, they never look open.
00:40:30.021 --> 00:40:35.710
Now, we still throw it at them, and they still sometimes make catches, but these are, I think,
00:40:36.732 --> 00:40:41.350
these are chances that Pat really doesn't want to take, where he would much
00:40:41.350 --> 00:40:46.340
rather throw to a Travis Kelsey, who has five yards of separation because,
00:40:46.340 --> 00:40:48.160
you know, that's what he is.
00:40:48.537 --> 00:40:51.710
Or maybe a Josh Downs who will also give us that.
00:40:52.403 --> 00:40:55.280
I also compared him to, and what I hope, I don't think it's a downer.
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:59.110
I hope he's better than this a little bit, but I think an example of him is
00:40:59.110 --> 00:41:01.280
like a prime Albert Wilson, right?
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:05.990
You know, a guy who can, you know, is not going to be your number one X,
00:41:06.750 --> 00:41:08.588
blow your mind away with his stats.
00:41:09.116 --> 00:41:11.860
But when we need a critical third down and it's third and six,
00:41:11.860 --> 00:41:14.938
He's open and he catches the ball. You know? Well...
00:41:16.045 --> 00:41:17.762
I'm hoping that, you know, listen,
00:41:18.422 --> 00:41:22.542
I hope that he is everything that we're thinking that he would need to be.
00:41:23.002 --> 00:41:25.659
And I know that the trade deadline is passed.
00:41:26.571 --> 00:41:32.092
You know, as a parent, I feel the only reasonable thing that really needs to
00:41:32.092 --> 00:41:34.738
take place at this point is that the Cowboys.
00:41:35.459 --> 00:41:38.952
I mean, look, they're not going anywhere, right? Let's be smart here,
00:41:38.952 --> 00:41:41.809
Jerry. Let's listen. They're not going anywhere.
00:41:41.925 --> 00:41:44.334
I hope Jerry is listening. No, they're not. They're not going anywhere. Their season's done.
00:41:44.543 --> 00:41:47.442
Like the Giants are going to win that trash division and then they're going
00:41:47.442 --> 00:41:52.692
to smoke by a good team in January. But he should just listen.
00:41:52.692 --> 00:41:56.998
These parents are trying to go to these games, right? Like they want to see their sons play.
00:41:57.809 --> 00:42:01.083
Wouldn't it be easier if Caleb was just on the Chiefs?
00:42:02.170 --> 00:42:08.422
Wait, I complete. So you texted that and I really had a hard time getting there.
00:42:08.422 --> 00:42:12.201
And now, finally, Caleb Downs is Josh Downs, his brother.
00:42:12.404 --> 00:42:17.344
Yes. So they, the parents, for the cowboy, yeah. A rookie.
00:42:18.242 --> 00:42:25.013
So like, I mean, Josh has seniority, right? So the parents, you know, the younger sibling.
00:42:26.151 --> 00:42:31.666
Should be on the older sibling's team. Correct. So that the parents...
00:42:32.272 --> 00:42:35.016
Do you know how difficult it would be to...
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:40.122
Well, the Kelseys had to do that, right, for so long. And you'd see them literally
00:42:40.122 --> 00:42:43.832
see two games in one day. It was too hard. It was too hard. I don't feel like
00:42:43.832 --> 00:42:45.216
the Downs family needs to do that.
00:42:45.652 --> 00:42:48.067
Yeah. I feel like Caleb should come here. What do we know about Jerry?
00:42:48.619 --> 00:42:50.707
Jerry's one of those guys. Jerry don't care about money.
00:42:52.183 --> 00:42:55.845
Jerry just wants to help a brother out. So let's just... Send Caleb up here.
00:42:58.046 --> 00:43:01.197
Hey, you know who we don't need anymore? We just talked about Nico Remigio.
00:43:01.528 --> 00:43:04.512
Let's just have a matter of Nico for Caleb. We'll send Nico down there.
00:43:04.890 --> 00:43:08.274
Yeah, and hey, solve some problem for them, sure.
00:43:08.674 --> 00:43:13.271
Caleb here. What number is Caleb where it doesn't matter? We'll make sure he's got it here.
00:43:13.811 --> 00:43:17.832
Yeah, we'll give him Bunker's number. It's probably seven. Yeah, Caleb's number seven.
00:43:19.485 --> 00:43:21.832
That's how you really, that's when Harrison will know, like,
00:43:21.832 --> 00:43:25.552
okay, it's a weight. Hold on. Hey, why is that guy wearing it?
00:43:26.752 --> 00:43:30.677
Why's that guy wearing seven and i gotta go talk to andy right yeah that's
00:43:31.117 --> 00:43:35.892
you know it ain't good then but again i think to wrap all that up again i don't
00:43:35.892 --> 00:43:41.992
want us to necessarily put our practice squad kicker in so i i weirdly you're
00:43:41.992 --> 00:43:45.628
not you're not gonna call the practice squad kicker by his name are you you'll just always refer,
00:43:46.232 --> 00:43:51.542
let me and we're we're over time i just have one last question for you do you
00:43:51.542 --> 00:43:56.913
think that there is a like i haven't heard anybody say this the practice squad kicker yeah,
00:43:57.604 --> 00:44:01.612
do you think there's a possibility that they signed the practice squad kicker
00:44:01.612 --> 00:44:04.300
to maybe help butker get right.
00:44:06.388 --> 00:44:10.713
I could only assume, listen, what do we know? We know that pressure,
00:44:10.928 --> 00:44:15.528
some folks need pressure. Some folks need to feel like.
00:44:15.548 --> 00:44:21.191
It's kind of like, I guess I look at it as, like Joe Flacco is not going to be pushing Joe Burrow.
00:44:21.655 --> 00:44:23.722
No. Any time, but.
00:44:24.923 --> 00:44:28.228
No. Could we get him in the back? Joe Flacco is a tremendous resource for Joe
00:44:28.228 --> 00:44:32.842
Burrow. Yes. And so my question is.
00:44:33.886 --> 00:44:38.568
I see it a little bit differently. I see it as your question being more of as
00:44:38.568 --> 00:44:41.688
a motivation as opposed to. So, yes, if Justin Tucker is coming up.
00:44:41.848 --> 00:44:48.468
So, I'm wondering as more of a, hey, help us get Harrison right. It could be that.
00:44:49.025 --> 00:44:52.878
Either or. I don't mind it except for the other parts. And I think you could
00:44:52.878 --> 00:44:57.908
do the same thing with a myriad. Again, it's a little small white kicker,
00:44:57.908 --> 00:45:01.720
guys. Yeah, but if it's motivation, you go get it.
00:45:01.912 --> 00:45:05.610
I mean, look, they found Butker on the Carolina Panthers.
00:45:06.288 --> 00:45:10.728
Practice squad. So if it is a, hey, we're going to go get somebody off the whoever's
00:45:10.728 --> 00:45:13.220
practice squad. Justin Tucker has a name.
00:45:14.028 --> 00:45:18.658
He has a name. He has a reputation. He put all the other Mr.
00:45:18.658 --> 00:45:25.398
Nasty Man 2 stuff aside. The guy was the best kicker in NFL history for the
00:45:25.398 --> 00:45:27.385
longest time. He probably won't.
00:45:28.117 --> 00:45:34.248
He probably won't. Although Vinatieri made it in, but Vinatieri also wasn't
00:45:34.628 --> 00:45:38.578
disgraced by off-field activities. I forgot about that part.
00:45:38.788 --> 00:45:44.857
Anyway, for another day. For another day. All right, buddy. We'll catch you next week.
00:45:45.333 --> 00:45:47.417
This is good time. See you soon. Later.
