So when I was thinking about this segment. Yeah, that went way better than I thought. Yeah, it could like that was really interesting. I mean that was good. That was really interesting stuff. I'm glad you're happy because don't ask so surprise.

0:16.0

Oh, yeah, that's right. That was Ahmed Fried trying to sell that my points or answers were good last week. No, no, no, no. I was great.

0:28.0

Genuinely great sell job. That's why they let you host the freak this. I mean, that's what they do. Congrats on another good show. Thank you. You look so handsome as usual up on the Koopala. What's what's different between the Kentucky Derby and the freak this anything that like stands after you about the difference of being there.

0:45.0

How they run the horse race anything crazy that you were people fewer people were like 50 to 60,000 at least right in Louisville. I think in Baltimore there were 10,000 people there. Yeah, the Koopala is farther back from the track. And so you don't get as good a view of which horse wins got you. So that's a little inside.

1:02.0

So you were like like were you literally like looking at the monitor. I was I was watching off off TV. Right. And everyone goes. I don't feel bad for you because you still got to be there. But it's a little farther back. Right.

1:13.0

But yeah, I introduced the I've met two governors now in two weeks. Andy Bashir, Commonwealth of Kentucky, Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland. I'm moving up. I'm moving up. You are moving up. Who is the better song before the race?

1:26.0

Oh, like the Bugles. Yeah, I think can't Steve buttle maybe. I'm glad you gave an answer. I thought you might come out with the company line of your talk about it. It's funny. You bring that up because on Friday. They had the Black Eyed Susan, which is the Phillies. The three-year-old Phillies run. The Bugles were out there. I don't want to put them on blast. But they were only supposed to run through the song one time and they had two bugalists. One of them started to do the song again. So you got a couple extra notes from one of the Bugles on Friday.

1:55.0

What? How does that happen? I don't know. I shouldn't have called them out like that. But it's like, yeah, the hell of a tune again. Hopefully they learned from it. Yeah, exactly. But I felt bad for it. But no, it's it is. You know, I'm not I did what didn't follow horse racing before I got into it. It's a cool sport. It really is a cool sport. It's a lot of people that care a whole lot about about these horses. And it's just there's so many great stories with it. So it was it was cool to be there. Yeah, cool. We got good sports week and everything's going on. We got MDM.

2:25.0

Okay, playoffs, baseball is going. Oh, and by the way, I mean America is open again. America is definitely all like I drove. You could feel it. I drove to Baltimore. Yeah, I thought it would be just as long as flying. I was wrong because the traffic was so bad. And I was like stuck for an hour on the George Washington bridge. Oh, well, what's what's wait. All right. Time out. Time out. We have a tourist that just entered the Northeast. We have a tourist that entered the Northeast. Yeah. Blue 45. Blue for a check.

2:55.0

Check, check, check. Black 88. We're audible. And you don't go over the George fucking Washington bridge. And the cross-bronced expressway. Yeah, you did that on a Sunday evening. Yeah. Oh my gosh. What do I do? You are a rookie. What should I have done? Zach Wilson. Okay. Next time Zach Wilson. Don't go there. I looked out my window and there was Zach to go. What are we doing? You always rule of thumb. If you're going to that area of this. And this is for anybody out there. But just to explain this. Just in this

3:25.0

tri-state area. Yes. The cross-bronced expressway is the worst five mile stretch of highway you will find in America. Okay. It's of course the Bronx. It's densely populated. Yeah. Our highways up here in the Northeast are 80 years outdated. We have three year three lane highways and we have 90 million people. Right. And one little area. And it's a bad area. So you always avoid it, especially traffic areas. Yeah. So next time you're doing a trip like that, hit me up and I'll tell you how to carve through

3:55.0

the town to get back up here the right way to go. Tap a Z. Do I go more? You could have gotten tap a Z or you get off the, you go over the GW bridge. But you don't, as soon as you get over it, you get off like you're going to Manhattan. Yeah. And you crawl your wet, you go up the island instead. I should have done that. Right. Yeah. And you could work your way up that way. So there we go. And now speaking of it, just hit my head. What is your snap count? Have you ever worked on the NFL snap count? What do you mean? You know, what would you, what would be your number color, number color set hut?

4:25.0

We would go in high school. We'd go go just go. We'd go go. There was no hut. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I got you. So I would go. We would just go on go. Right. All right. So if you had to use number color, what would it be? I'm going to read the quarterback of the Detroit Lions, right? It's your first like rookie mini can. All right. And then go, you can pick any color any number. They won't even say that. See you. They're going to tell you what colors are live. They're going to go. Don't use these colors because that means we're audible into a runner, audible into a pass. So what's going to be it? Red, red, red.

4:55.0

Red's my favorite color. We'll see. Red's not always allowed because a lot of times that means it's an audible to a pass. All right. Okay. Good. I read four. Red four. That sounds. Sounds like rap for like a car or something. Red four. Red four. All right. So let me hear it now. So and I want to say that sounds so bad. I don't read four read four. I like, did you give yourself a Southern twang there when you just on quarterback two? You went out of the side of your mouth. Yeah. All right.

5:25.0

So number color, number color. Yeah. And then set hut. Set heart has to be all kind of one word. Set hut. Yeah. Okay. Red four. Blue 32. Red four. Blue 32. Say huh. All right. Just stick with one now. Blue 32. Blue 32. Blue 32. Red four. Red four. Say huh. That is hilarious. I wish. If you're not watching, please do watch because the fact that Ahmed went to Texas all the sudden. If you can't want to be out. I want to be out. I want to be out.

5:55.0

Red four. Red four is just like you. Just like, oh, yeah. I got to work on that. I'm going to work on that. Hey. That's a real thing. I can remember these. They always hike it though before they get done saying set hut. That's why you try to make that set hut. Yeah. If you're ever watching NFL films, right? And you hear the mic. Yep. You can tell that the office is snapping the ball really unsat. Yeah. Yeah. They're snapping it on set. That's really it's to give them that jump, right? So the center is really waiting for that. And that's why set hut is one word.

6:25.0

So when the center and the offensive line kind of hear set,

6:28.4

they know, oh, it's coming right now.

6:30.4

Right, and you have to do.

6:31.5
