JR SportBrief Hour 3

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. It is the JR Sport Brief show on CBS Sports Radio.

Coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody listening all over North America. You could be locked in on your local CBS Sports Radio affiliate, the fan, the zone, the game, the ticket, whatever the hell your station is called.

Thank you for listening. You can always tune in on the free Audacy app, A-U-D-A-C-Y. You can always lock in on Sirius XM channel 158. And then by the way, you got a smart speaker?

You can always ask it to play CBS Sports Radio. Always a good time folks. Here's the deal. Every single Wednesday night into Thursday morning, I bring you a new top six list. And momentarily it will be no different. We're going to take a look at some of the biggest upsets in sports history.

Some of the biggest underdogs in sports history. And so that top six list is coming to you momentarily. I'm being joined by super producer and host Dave Shepherd. If you missed the first two hours of the show, you missed a lot. We get started 10 PM Eastern time, 7 PM Pacific. And to open up the show, we talked about Major League Baseball. The regular season is going to get started on Thursday. We got an entire slate of games and we also have rule changes. So it'll be a lot of fun to see what happens with the pitch clock, if we see more stolen bases, how teams try to be creative now that the infield shift is over.

And then we talked about some other changes, some in the NFL. The fact that the NFL owners, some of them, want to flex games at the end of the year from Sunday to Thursday. So Amazon can get a good slate of games, even though there are a lot of players who don't want to play on Thursday, first of all.

And there are a lot of fans. Is it really fair to just move games on a two week notice from Sunday to Thursday? And so the NFL is going to revisit this in May. But one thing that is happening, the rule has been lifted. Teams could only play one Thursday night game.

Now they can play two and that is with or without the flex scheduling. And so we'll see how that decides to move forward and take shape. And so now let's get to the top six list.

It's real simple. We're a couple of days away from the Final Four in Houston. We're a few days away from Monday night where we will crown a national championship in Houston.

You don't have to wait too much longer. And throughout the course of this tournament, we've already seen some ridiculous upsets. I mean, three out of the four squads in March Madness in the Final Four right now have never been. Earlier on in the tournament, we saw Fairleigh Dickinson beat Purdue. It's one of the biggest upsets we've ever seen in the tournament. It's akin to another number one falling when we saw UMBC smack Virginia in 2018. First round defeats. And so with all of this new blood in the tournament, with all of these teams just coming out of nowhere to potentially win a title, can you imagine if FAU wins? I don't think that they will, but can you imagine it? Yeah, it'd be tough. It'd be one of the biggest underdog stories ever.

And so I am not going to waste any damn time. It's time for a new top six list. And we are going to take a look at some of the biggest underdogs that the sports world has ever seen. This is a combination of players and teams. So let's get started.

654321. It's time to get JR's latest top six list only on the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport brief show on CBS Sports Radio. And I'm bringing you a new top six list. Top six underdogs in sports. Who are some athletes?

Who are some teams that just got the job done when they weren't expected to? Let's not waste any time to start things off. Let's just go to Japan. Let's go to the year 1990. Let's go to people punching each other in the face.

Let's go to Boston. Let's go to Buster Douglas beating at the time, a 37 in Oh, Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson, or that I was getting busted up. I want you to take a listen to this the knockout courtesy of HBO. It appears that Tyson is virtually a one eyed fighter at this point. One eyed fighter rolling willingly just to try to get in the shot that will finish things down goes Tyson has been knocked out. And Mike Tyson long count Mike Tyson just rolling around on his hands and knees could not get up. Buster Douglas, he held the title for a good portion of the year. And then some man named Evander Holyfield was up to the real deal. He took it from him. And then Buster Douglas was like, I'm out until he did the boxer's thing and decided to return again and then retire again.

But Buster Douglas recently, he spoke to ESPN. And he talked about Mike Tyson and he's like, Yeah, I saw the guy enough. I had confidence. Yeah, I was a 42 to one underdog. I thought I was gonna beat him. I felt strongly I mean, I fought under six undercard with Mike. So I was aware of his potential. But I was I was there. So I got to look at him in a different way.

Not so much of what I seen the results of his ring provado. But it was just him as a person looking at him and saying a little differently to Yeah, I got that number six Buster Douglas. One of the biggest underdog stories in sports Buster number six. What's the next number? Number five, number five. Oh my goodness. We gotta go.

Well, let's just get out the way. It's the New York Giants beating the New England Patriots who were trying to go undefeated. This is the 2007 New York Giants. We gotta look at a helmet catch.

Okay. You probably remember New York Giants are behind. You got Eli Manning getting ready to get swung into the damn ground. They cannot bring Eli to the ground. Eli Manning is throwing the ball into the middle of the field.

Everybody is like, Oh my god, no. David Tyree jumps up into the air, snatches the damn ball, holds on to it with his helmet. And then the next thing you know, Plaxico Burress gets the game winning touchdown. The New York Giants won Super Bowl 42 against those invincible New England Patriots 17 to 14. The Patriots, unbeatable.

The Giants, just a lowly wildcard team. I want you to listen to head coach Tom Coughlin, Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, and Mr. Helmet catch himself, David Tyree. Talk about this play. This is from the New York Giants on YouTube. He fires the ball down the middle of the field, which normally you do not do that. No, not the middle of the field. From there it was like charity fire, you know, music going on in the background and you just locked in on that, on that ball.

And you know, for me, all I remember is, you know, going up the high point. It is caught by Tyree. Catches it, ball off his helmet, head. You couldn't tell what he did with it. And I'm just thinking to myself, are they saying he caught that?

I really didn't know anything about the helmet. I just remember getting my second hand back on that ball. All I know is I got it and I'm not letting this thing go.

It's a moment in time that's literally like frozen. I just call it a miraculous play that I'm the fortunate recipient of. When he caught the ball, game over. We knew we were going to win. Giants won 17 to 14. What is absolutely crazy, and this is the fun part about sports is before that play, when the Giants got back on offense, Michael Strahan was on the sidelines telling the offense, telling the team, we are going to win 17 to 14.

And that's exactly what happened. You know, there's a lot of Super Bowls and there's that one I will never, ever, ever, ever forget just because of how crazy the ending was. I got the New York Giants, 2007 New York Giants at number five. You want to talk about some of the biggest underdogs in sports, Giants five, what's next?

Number four. Oh, this man made his bones with and at the Super Bowl. One of the most amazing stories that you will or have ever heard in your damn life.

They made a movie out of it. There was some guy who was bagging groceries, who went to the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's an MVP, a Super Bowl winner with the multiple Super Bowls. His name is Kurt Warner. Tell me his story is not amazing. The guy comes out of college, has to go to, well, he gets into the NFL and then he's cut from the NFL and he has to go to NFL Europe. And then he comes back to the United States of America and he's in middle America and he's in the back of a grocery store at night. And then he's telling everybody, I'm going to play in the NFL.

Just give me a few months. I need the season to start. And then he's on a team. He finally gets to a team, not the Packers, but he finally makes it to the Rams. Trent Green is in front of him. Trent Green gets hurt. You thought Tom Brady's story was amazing.

Yes. Greatest, most successful ever. Kurt Warner wasn't expected to do squat. I ain't see Tom Brady back to the NFL. He's back there bagging groceries. Kurt Warner talked about his time at the damn grocery store.

People did not believe the success that he was going to have. This is what he told NFL films. Really early in the morning, we might throw the balls down the aisles or have some pickup football games and just mess around a little bit.

All the other people were stocking at nights and were hoping to become the manager of the grocery store. And here I am saying, well, you know, I'm just doing this for a few months until the NFL calls again. And you could see that they were kind of looking at each other like, come on. I mean, you know, how many people are ever going to go from stocking shelves to the NFL? Kurt Warner did it.

Kurt Warner did it. Trent Green went down. Hey, Curtis, your team now. You got Marshall Faulk. You got Tori Holt.

You got Isaac Bruce. The Rams went four and 12 before he got there. Trent Green goes down.

They go 13 and three. They are now the greatest show on turf. Kurt Warner in his first real action as an NFL player throws 4,300 yards, 41 touchdowns, and the Rams beat the Titans by like a yard in Super Bowl 34. The guy who was bagging groceries. This is Mike Torico talking to Kurt Warner on ABC after he won everything. Kurt Warner, one of the greatest underdog stories that the sports world has ever seen. I got Kurt Warner at number four.

Let's move on. Number three. At number three.

No coincidence here. The man I have at number three is five foot three inches tall. He's out of Baltimore, Maryland. It's Muggsy Bowes. I still have no idea how this man played basketball in the NBA at five foot three. Only a man out of Baltimore could play in the NBA at five foot three because only a man out of Baltimore wasn't going to take crap from nobody. Wasn't afraid of nobody. Muggsy Bowes was shot in the head, grazed off of his head when he was a kid.

This man saw life. He wasn't going to be afraid of a damn thing on an NBA court. He wasn't no guy out there on charity. Muggsy Bowes could play. Muggsy Bowes was going to steal the ball. He was going to go down court.

If you tried to post him up, he was going to knock it out. This he was not a liability. He played in the NBA for the better part of 14 years at five foot three and he was out there busting ass, initiating the offense, stealing the ball, going down court, setting up some of your favorite shooters and favorite players with the Charlotte Hornets. And then he played more with the Raptors. I remember him on the Raptors and he still had something to give. Steph Curry's daddy, Dell Curry loved him. Alonzo Mourning loved him. Another all time great shooter. Glen Rice loved him. Shout outs to the basketball time machine, put together a video, a compilation, bigging up Muggsy Bowes.

Listen to Dell Curry, Zo and Glen Rice, big up five foot three NBA player Muggsy Bowes. He wasn't worried about, you know, being the guy with the most points or being the star on the team or a guy in the paper. He just wanted to lead his team to make sure he got the assist to help you score as easily and as quickly as you could. I remember him basically taking me under his wing and just telling my young fella, all I want you to do is run. Don't let me beat you down the court. You know, and he was serious. He said, I'll find you just run. I owe a lot to Muggsy because Muggsy gave me an opportunity to go out there and get extra shots because if it wasn't for his pinpoint passes, probably would have been a little more of a struggle.

It's nuts. The average height of an NBA player today is six foot six. Muggsy Bowes in his time in the nineties, Muggsy Bowes was five foot three.

He shouldn't have been out playing basketball on the street without getting smacked around. You want to talk about underdogs? I got Muggsy Bowes at number three. Down from three. What's up? Number two.

At number two. Let's go from an individual and now let's get back to the team. It's March Madness, right? We're getting ready for the final four. If I got to think about an underdog, can you find me another one?

Well, you probably can't, but this one I think takes the cake. Let's go back to 1985. Let's look at the Georgetown Hoyas. They went 35 and two. They had five NBA players led by somebody.

I don't know what his name is. Maybe his name is Patrick Ewing. Villanova got Patrick Ewing in foul trouble.

They abused the fact that there was no clock. Villanova had an out of body experience. They shot 79% from the field. Every game in the tournament was close and that's why I got Villanova at number two here on the list knocking off Georgetown in 85 66 to 64. Probably the biggest upset in college basketball history.

You can think of some others. I can't too, but I got Villanova over Georgetown. I want you to listen to head coach, Raleigh Massimino, Ed Pickney. They spoke to CBS after the game. You might hear or remember some of these voices. Brent Musburger, Billy Packer with the interview. Take a listen.

Ed Pickney, you come in here as one of the senior spokesmen. Tell me how this was accomplished tonight. This team had beaten you twice. They were a heavy favorite against you. What did you do to win this game? We just believed in ourselves and a lot of hard work on everybody's part. Not only a team, but you know, the fans, they were all behind us. Everybody from Philadelphia.

Hello, New York City. Early in the game, early in the game, you went right at Pat Ewing. You in particular said we're going to come right through the big fella tonight.

You can't be intimidated, not in a game like this. It's the last game of the year of my career and I just have to play my hardest. Damn, I'm just having flashbacks of a couple of weeks ago, Patrick Ewing getting a boot. I feel bad bringing up Patrick Ewing losses.

Sorry. Anyway, it's the JR sport re-show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. We are going to take a break and when we come back, I'm going to give you number one.

Who or what is the biggest underdog that we have seen in sports? Number one on the other side is the JR sport re-show, CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR sport brief on CBS Sports Radio. Hey JR, how are you? You know, what I wanted to say was that I love your top six list.

Those things are awesome. I don't call into radio stations, but this is the second time you've made me call in because I just love your list so much. It's fun to listen to.

Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. Well that makes two of us. I don't, I don't call into sports talk radio stations either. I'm just, I'm just sitting around talking.

I like speaking to you though. Anyway, it is the JR sport brief show on CBS Sports Radio and I am delivering you a new top six list. And tonight we're taking a look at the top six underdogs in sports. Who are some of the players? Who are some of the teams that you could take a look at and just go, well damn, they weren't supposed to be here.

Let me give you a quick recap before I share with you number one. At number six, I gave you Buster Douglas 1990 knocking out some guy named Mike Tyson in Tokyo, Japan. At number five, I gave you the 2007 New York Giants beating the undefeated New England Patriots. The Giants were the wildcard team. The Patriots were trying to be the invincible team and due to ridiculous circumstances and Eli Manning putting on a cape and David Tyree becoming a superhero, the New York Giants beat those undefeated Patriots 17 to 14 to win the Super Bowl.

Just ridiculous ending there. You want to talk about underdogs? At number four, I gave you Kurt Warner went from bagging groceries to Super Bowl MVP to NFL MVPs, the greatest show on turf, one of the most exciting offenses that the NFL has ever seen. And I'll say it again, a Hall of Fame. It's a hell of a hell of a difference from the hell of a difference from the grocery store to the Hall of Fame.

And number three, you want to talk about an underdog? This man could probably walk under the table. It is five foot three Muggsy Bowes. You're not supposed to be in the NBA at five foot three.

This man was and did it successfully for the better part of almost 15 years. Muggsy Bowes made no sense. He was tough as nails. He could play offense. He could initiate offense. He could play defense despite his size.

Muggsy Bowes was a bad, bad man. And number two, I just share with you, we're thinking about the tournament, right? The final four. We got to go to Villanova upsetting Georgetown. Georgetown went 35 and two. They had five NBA players. They beat up on Patrick Ewing early and got him in foul trouble.

And they were able to hold on to win 66 to 64. Now this is a little flip of the coin here. I gave a little nod to this on social media earlier today, if you follow me at JR Sportbrief. I'm going to put two here at number two. You can easily put in North Carolina State knocking off Houston with one of my favorite players of all time, Akima Dream, the lodge you on and another man named Clyde Drexler. We know about the importance of that game, Jimmy V, Never Give Up.

We know about the dunk that end the game, Lorenzo Charles. You can go ahead and slap that in as a tie at number two. Those are your two college basketball upsets. And so having put them there at number two, that leaves us where, Shep?

Number one. We got to go to the Winter Olympics. We got to go back. I wasn't even alive to see this in person, but I've seen it and heard it over and over and over again. This is the United States of America beating Russia in the Winter Olympics.

In New York, this is the Miracle on Ice. The Soviet Union at the time, they won gold in five out of the last six Olympics. The United States of America had amateurs out there. They didn't have no pros.

The United States of America won four to three in the medal round, and then they beat Finland for the gold or the gold, I should say. I want you to listen to the final call. You might remember this voice. He's now calling them crappy football games on Thursday on Amazon.

It's Al Michaels. Here, listen, on ABC. I don't know how many times I've heard that in my life, that I've probably heard that more than anything else I was not alive to listen to. I got the US. I got the Miracle on Ice. I got that number one on my list when I want to talk about underdogs in sports. I guess this is like if the United States men's national team beat London or not London, but if they beat England, France, and then Brazil to win the damn World Cup.

Not happening. That's now the 1,234th time that I've heard that. It's the Miracle on Ice. Number one underdog story in sports. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. There are a lot of underdogs, teams, players that nobody gave a damn chance to, and they came out on top. I'm going to take some of your calls on the other side of the break. The other side of the break. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. How you doing, JR? I enjoy listening to you when I'm on the road driving back. You always make a lot of sense, and you're funny as hell.

You really have a lot of substance to you. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It's the JR Sport Brief show on CBS Sports Radio. March Madness is coming to a close, right? We got the final four games on Saturday. We got the national championship game on Monday, and so tonight with a new top six list, I wanted to share with you the top underdogs that we have seen in the world of sports.

If you missed it, the explanations, etc., go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. At number six, I gave you Buster Douglas over Mike Tyson. At number five, I gave you the 2007 New York Giants knocking off those New England Patriots. At number four, I gave you Kurt Warner going from bagging groceries to Super Bowl MVP.

At number three, I gave you 5'3 Muggsy Bowes. At number two, I gave you a tie. You had Villanova over Georgetown. I also had to put North Carolina State in there as well in 1983 beating the Houston Cougars.

I'm sorry, I couldn't choose one over the other. And at number one, I gave you the Miracle on Ice. I gave you the U.S. Hockey beating the Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics. U.S. Hockey with amateurs had no business going out there and beating the Russians. And they did. That's why I have them at number one.

That's just completely out of this world. Obviously, so many more underdogs, teams, and athletes in the world of sports. Let's go ahead and get to the phone lines. Please give me one. One. Not your list.

One athlete or one team. 855-212-4CBS. Paul is here from Rhode Island. You're on CBS Sports Radio. Thank you, Jerry. Let me give it to you straight. Thank you, Peter.

Thank you, Shep. A while back, there was a team with the lowest payroll in baseball and another Muggsy. His name was Kirby Puckett. That guy won a World Series. Well, everybody else had the big purse, the Yankees.

Everybody had big, big contracts. And Kelly was the manager. And let me tell you, that was pretty awesome. Even though I am a Red Sox and San Diego guy, but that was awesome to see back in the day. I'm sure I really got him, the Kirby Puckett, as you remember. Well, thank you, Paul.

I certainly do. I got a lot of family out in Twin Cities. And everybody's dog and pet was named Kirby, especially my family.

We had a dog named Kirby. 855-212-4CBS. 855-212-4CBS. Josh is here from Tucson, Arizona. You're on CBS Sports Radio. What's up, Josh? Who's the underdog? Hey, Jerry.

Thanks for taking my call. I would say it's 2000 Olympic gold medalist Rulon Gardner from the United States. He was wrestling someone that was going for him. Someone that was going for his fourth Olympic wrestling gold medal would have been the first one of all time. Alexander Karelian from Russia.

He had not lost a match in 13 years. And this farm boy from Afton, Wyoming beat him. Yeah.

I remember that. Where's Rulon Gardner now? What's he been doing? Well, actually he's trying to one up himself. He's he's trying to make the 2024 Olympic team. No, he's 21 years old.

No, he's not. What does he got to be? How old is he? How old is he? He got to be in his 40s. He's 51. He's 51. He's trying to make the team again. Yes.

So what has he been doing besides being, I don't know, a little see, here I am. I'm saying that he can't do it. He that's it's a young man's game. It is. Well, I mean, he after the Olympics, he actually almost died in the snowmobile in accident.

Actually, but in between all of us, he actually wrestled in the 2004 Olympics after he had gotten in this accident, had a couple of toes amputated because he had frostbite. Yeah. I remember that story. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, look, whatever, whatever keeps the motor going and God bless him if he can do it. I, I just, uh, I'm here for the story.

If he can, if he can make it happen. Hey, thank you, Josh. I haven't spoken about, or even heard the name Rulon Gardner in years. Thank you so much. No problem. Thank you.

Appreciate you. Let's go from Tucson and Arizona. Let's go to Ohio and talk to Todd. He's calling from Cleveland.

You're on CBS sports radio. JR Butler. When Butler went to distance in NCAA tournament and every round the announcers were talking about, I guess this is where it is for Butler and Butler still went to distance.

I think that's as far as team underdogs, that's the best one I could come up with without a doubt. Even after listening to you, I'm like, nah, man, Butler. That, that was the launching pad for, for Brad Stevens and in his career, I actually remember, and this is how long ago it was back in 2011, Butler was still hot. I remember being at the final four in 2011 and I was just, I was actually, I think I was talking to, yeah, I was talking to, was that Houston or Dallas?

I think I was talking to Charles Barkley and I was talking to Kenny and I actually spoke to some of the Butler alums and this was back in, in 2011, man. So yeah, Butler, the Bulldogs, they, they went on one hell of a stretch. If I have to think about the 2011, yep, they lost. That was the year they lost to, to Yukon.

I was there and I was actually at the game, man. It was, they've gone on a stretch. Butler hasn't been to the tournament, I don't think in the past four or five years, but nah, you can't take away what they did when Brad Stevens was there. Yeah, that was, that was impressive, especially, like I said, every game, folks were like, this is where it ends for Butler and Butler kept rolling. I was a teenager and my dad had tickets to the Villanova Georgetown finals. So I saw that in person and nobody around me, nobody was sitting around us, thought that Villanova couldn't beat them because they handled them in the Big East tournament.

Twice, yep, in the tournament and beat them before then too. Yeah. All right, man.

Thank you so much. Todd calling up from Cleveland, 855-212-4CBS. When we talk about underdogs, what team or what athlete would you say? Let's go to Ohio and let's talk to Dan. You're on CBS Sports Radio.

Yeah, just to make it brief, I'm losing my voice. I was just thinking about the Jets in 69. I think they were getting like 16, 16 and a half points against the Colts. Yeah, that guy, the quarterback with the bad knees who wore lingerie, right? Joe Namath. Yeah, that man did it. He said that they were going to do it and they did it.

Yeah, I think they were getting like 16 or 16 and a half points, but I'm going to go. I'm losing my voice. Oh no, we want you to keep that. Thank you, Dan. Appreciate you. I feel better.

Oh my God. I wish I could send a recolor through the phone. Hey, Shep, we should figure out where he lives and then I can Uber Eats him some, can I Uber?

Yeah, I can do that. Like I can Uber Eats cough drops because you can just send it from like somebody will buy it from the supermarket or CVS or something, right? You know why he was coughing, right? Uh oh. Was he losing his voice or was he participating in the... Oh no, because it's reminiscent of Butler still choking in the 2011 NCAA Men's Finals when they scored 41 points. One of the biggest disasters I've ever seen in a championship game.

I mean, how they're being considered an underdog is beyond me. What? They were awful.

They were awful. No, no, no, no, no. That man had a sore throat. I understand that. That man had a sore throat and you were somehow able to tie in a correlation between his sore throat and a choke job? Well, I was sitting on the Butler joke for a little, for a minute there. And I just, I don't think like, like people want to make Brad Stevens out to be like boy wonder. Like he's an overrated coach. Like there's a reason why a first year head coach, Ime Udonka got to the finals in his first year and Stevens in five years, couldn't get there once. So, I mean, is he the greatest underdog story? No.

In Gordon Haywood last time I checked and Shelvin Mack, those guys can play. That's just my two cents. Yeah, that is, well, we were talking, I was more concerned with the gentleman coughing.

I know, but that's why he was coughing because the Butler's choke job. I clearly, you don't love the joke, but. No, I think the joke was, I gotta be honest. Terrible.

The joke was terrible. Oh, fair enough. Thank you, Charles. I'm worried about this guy somewhere. He's coughing his lungs out and you telling us about Butler.

Oh, he'll be fine. How about Butler? Look, man, ain't nobody, Butler, nobody expects anything out of Butler.

I'm not as, I'm not talking about individual seasons and years. Butler's are one of the teams that just say, Hey, yeah, whatever. They, here they go. Okay.

So they haven't been here for four or five years and they'll come back for a year or two, maybe three, and then they'll disappear for nothing. Like nobody's thinking anything about Butler. But besides that, I'm worried about the man choking. Okay. You gotta be a little warmer and kind of chef. Come on. Let me be the jerk here. All right. I apologize, Jared. I, I'm a pretty nice guy, but sometimes I'm always going to make a joke here and there.

So, you know, can't blame me. Right. Kind of spice it up a little bit.

That's fine. I just, I just want that man to have a halls. Right. But in all, in all seriousness, like Jared, you know, this, like, I love, I love our callers.

I love them. So I, and I say anything in jest, I say anything lightheartedly. I don't mean for one second for anyone to have any harm, especially from calling the show. I didn't say you wanted the guy to have harm. I just said that I'm trying to send him halls and recolor.

You talking about Butler. Hey, when you have a sore throat, what do you do? I clear it or I have water next to me. A sore throat? Like you are losing your voice.

Like it is going, what would you do? Are you clearing it? Ain't gonna make it come back.

I would have like green tea, something of that nature. Okay. Yeah. I've been here. I think I missed my whole damn birthday on CBS. How do we miss it? You missed your birthday? No, not my, not my birthday.

I'm talking about on CBS. Your three year anniversary. No, it's a three. You're the one who makes me here. You make me here longer than I have been. You have been here for more than three years. I'm positive. Yeah. Now three, three years and a couple of days. Three years more than full time. And you've been at the fan.

I want to say for six or seven. Oh, whoa, whoa. Slow down. Okay. It's 2018.

The first time I did the fan in New York city. Okay. So you're on your sixth year. So I'm kind of right there. Well, yeah. 2018. That's two years plus three. That's five years, man.
