He was in person, great interview, little different

because it was a lot of inside the NFL, how a front office works. We also held his feet to the fire on a couple of his takes against Baker Mayfield. So shout out Baker. We got your back still. We have football back officially, little Olympics talk, USA basketballs back, the tire fast of the week and we're gonna go back to basics with our Mount Rushmore so we did a couple outside the box now we're coming back down down the fairway here with Mount Rushmore of pizza toppings we're gonna do all of that in a second we're brought to you by our friends at Cores Light do you ever feel like summer just flies by there's a lot of talk that August of summer.

Send us those blue mountains. It is the weekend. It is Friday, August 6th and football is officially back. We got football, baby. We were recording this earlier in the day. It's 12, 10 in the afternoon. Yes. But I can tell you what happened at the Hall of Fame game tonight already. Ben Rothless burger was there. Yes. He was on the sidelines. Sunflower seeds. Sunflower, uh, no, uh, gum gum. To actually note, jerky, uh, gum, how about, how about, uh, it would be like, kung-pow chicken flavored gum. Yeah. Why did you spend kung-pow chicken? You might have had just a PF smoothie just a mixture of all the appetizers blended into one creamy drink. But been was on side lines He looked some people think that he looked good tonight. Yes. I so when people Shit on the first preseason games in the Hall of Fame game They don't realize what this does for us tonight is all about Just getting your eyes used to the colors on the screen a ball moving back and forth the helmets the score, all that stuff. It doesn't, we know the game stinks. I think the overrunner was like 32 and a half tonight. We know that it's the hover. The Hallfayme game has changed where it used to be, you'd get maybe like a series of the starters. Now we get nothing. We get like all backups all the time and I get it, I understand it. It's about just getting yourself in the motion, feeling like it's a practice swing. It's not even a practice swing. It's looking at the pitcher, timing the pitcher mentally from the dugout. The practice swings are like week three of the of the preseason. This is going to be important tonight for a couple of reasons. One, we get Gucci De Nucci back on the field on the team. It's actually better.

I like the fact that we've got

Ben D'Nucci playing quarterback tonight

because it feels like he's a starting quarterback

in a weird way because we did see him start a prime time game last year. So it's like, oh yeah, this means more, this hall of fame here, I recognize that guy. so we've got good to do she and then we've also got

uh... whatever new

curve balls that fox is going to throw at us with the score bugs

and like to different graphics on screen this is our first time seeing

the box tonight i think it's So got whatever new curve balls that Fox is gonna throw at us with the score bugs and like the different graphics on screen.

This is our first time seeing that I think it's I think it's I'm gonna say gets you back to Joe. Joe Buck. Yeah. Okay. And Tom and Aldi. Yeah. Number one. I love it. Love it. Is the goose going to be on the sideline? No, bring them back to the eight men are in and jordan tomaholton

it's fucking disgusting we have to we have to be begging fox to put toadie sir goose

a back in a small

and a small hat a small hat big coat just wearing whatever he still has in his closet from when he was a When he had his cameo on the soprano looking like a bear get him back there But it is gonna be interesting to see like what weird like flag graphics. I have yeah, yeah player intros get mad about that It's really it's just stuff to get mad about in the new broadcasts and you know what? It's also stuff where once the actual regular games start happening and people start complaining and weak one about the new things, be like, dude, I was mad about this a month ago. Yup. Listen, you're casual. You miss one very important thing that's happening tonight. This is time traveling night because the Cowboys are on hard knocks. Hard knocks starts on Tuesday, which we will obviously be reviewing right after every show, or after the hard knock show. So we get to watch things happen in the game and be like, I bet that's going to be on hard knocks. Usually the first preseason game, you get one guy who's like the 85th guy on the roster who
