He loves the work I do. No.

0

94.711 - 96.802 Curtis

Nope. Actually, that's not true.

0

96.882 - 99.024 Petro Siebel

That's not the case. Ryan was not a fan of yours.

0

99.044 - 103.249 Curtis

He was a fan of Art and Frame. True, true. He was a fan of me, but he was really a fan of Art and Frame.

0

103.589 - 103.99 Unknown

Okay.

104.01 - 112.378 Curtis

He couldn't stop talking about how good they were. And he said the Petro discount is fantastic. Well, there you go.

112.859 - 114.701 Petro Siebel

So how about that, Blair? Boom.

115.281 - 115.802 Blair Kerkhoff

115.822 - 117.744 Petro Siebel

Listen. It's real. It's real.

Chapter 3: How do college football rosters impact team performance?

131.201 - 133.224 Blair Kerkhoff

I'm familiar with the drop.

0

133.324 - 155.969 Petro Siebel

We'll play the drop and then we'll tell you what it's from. It's so fantastic. It's like one of the great moments in really humankind, if you will, when you consider what the man is so broken up. Really, I think the underrated part of that drop is the people up on the panel And their reaction to the guy like, yeah, man. Yeah. I feel you. I feel you, brother.

0

156.47 - 168.694 Petro Siebel

The fact that they're like, what the hell is the matter with you, man? Do you have it, Kyle? That's what they were thinking, probably. Do you have it? It's still real, man. Or it's still real to me.

0

168.714 - 169.856 Curtis

It's still real to me, damn it.

0

170.157 - 170.638 Petro Siebel

Yeah.

170.658 - 170.758

Yeah.

170.907 - 182.183 Petro Siebel

Lebo, stop talking to him when we're trying to do a show. You won. How many times do people have to kiss your ass? We're trying to press forward with some comedy here. High level comedy. True.

182.984 - 186.849 Unknown

It's still real to me, damn it.

186.989 - 205.398 Petro Siebel

You know what he was talking about? I don't. He was in like a high school gym sitting on bleachers and they had a panel of like three or four old professional wrestlers. And he was broken up and in tears. That wrestling is still real to him.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of NIL deals for college athletes?

211.81 - 233.143 Petro Siebel

Oh, yeah, man. There you go. You know, it's kind of like the skit they have when one of the last times that William Shatner hosted Saturday Night Live. Yeah. And they had him walk out there and they're all like, hey, can you tell us like in episode six, season two, when, you know, the Gwark was coming in and you didn't go to the tractor beam was he's like. What the hell is wrong with you, man?

0

233.384 - 252.981 Petro Siebel

Get a life. It was a show, all right? It was a fun little show. That's it. I mean, you, have you even moved out of your parents' house? Do you still live in their base? What are you doing with these ears on? What is this? Like, what is wrong with you? And, like, all of a sudden, a guy runs up and goes, and he goes, how much? Oh. That's right. Oh, really?

0

253.763 - 268.507 Petro Siebel

And then the guy goes, Mr. Shatner was doing an evil Captain Kirk from episode 27 of season three. And all the nerds are like, oh, okay, okay. One of the underrated bits.

0

268.688 - 272.334 Blair Kerkhoff

Oh, so good. When I saw that live. Oh, my gosh. It was hilarious.

0

272.354 - 276.801 Petro Siebel

The flip side of that. What the hell is wrong with you, man? Have you even moved out of your parents' basement?

276.848 - 296.366 Curtis

With his acting style. One of the flip sides of that was Family Guy did an episode where Stewie was meeting the next generation at something. Star Trek the next generation. And he got to hang out with them. And by the end of the day, he was tired of all of them because they were just so annoying. He was like, it was his dream.

Chapter 5: How does the NFL schedule reveal affect fan engagement?

296.566 - 318.73 Curtis

They were going through a McDonald's drive-thru. He's like, do they still like the McDLT? No, they don't have the McDLT anymore. I'd like the Shamrock Shake. They don't serve those anymore. Well, I'm saying they have the makings to make the McDLT. Shut up. It was in the drive-thru. They were just going, I'm just saying. Ah, yes. Good times.

0

318.991 - 333.349 Curtis

By the way, our friend, Ryan, he posted a reply to me with a picture he took. Got to meet the great KL Seabolt tonight. Wow. Great radio guy, even better person.

0

333.329 - 341.205 Petro Siebel

Holy cow, this is where we could use William Shatner. What the hell is wrong with you, man? You even moved out of your parents' basement, Ryan? Like, what are you doing?

0

341.306 - 342.087 Unknown

Get a life.

0

342.308 - 358.298 Petro Siebel

That is awfully nice. That is nice. All kidding aside, thank you very much, Ryan. That's all I got. And you know what? Loves the show. I would agree with you. I would agree with your assessment of Curtis on the great person part. Radio, eh. But great person, absolutely. Great person. There you go.

359.019 - 365.57 Curtis

Blair, how are you? Less great because I had to call that to attention. Less great because I had to brag about myself.

Chapter 6: What challenges do teams face with roster management?

365.59 - 384.784 Petro Siebel

Usually what he would do is he'd copy it, and then he'd text it to Kyle, and they'd be like, hey, can you act like you just saw this? Send that to the program thread. Yeah. Oh, look. I wouldn't do it. Yeah. And while you're at it, can you just kind of leak it to Chad, too? Make sure Boger sees it.

0

385.523 - 397.585 Curtis

By the way, he did it right in front of the person who hired me to do the job. And I'm like, Sarah, this isn't a setup. Wow. She was right next to him. I was like, I didn't have him do this. Yeah.

0

397.845 - 404.077 Petro Siebel

But, you know, you saw it, right? But you did see this, correct? So I'm thinking rate increase.

0

404.097 - 405.339 Blair Kerkhoff

I mean, you? I don't know.

0

405.359 - 406.942 Petro Siebel

Me? You? What? Huh?

406.962 - 407.042

Huh?

407.596 - 411.763 Petro Siebel

That's what I'm saying here. Just saying. Yes. Blair, how are you, buddy?

411.803 - 418.936 Blair Kerkhoff

Doing great. Yeah. Nothing to complain about? Nothing. Nothing. Big night tonight. The big schedule reveal.

Chapter 7: How does Blair Kerkhoff analyze player performance at the Combine?

418.956 - 419.076 Blair Kerkhoff

Yeah.

0

419.096 - 423.905 Petro Siebel

Do you get excited about the schedule reveal? Not really.

0
0

423.965 - 429.614 Petro Siebel

Fantastic. I think it's nice because you can make some plans.

0

429.975 - 454.889 Blair Kerkhoff

Well, yes, you can make some plans. We can book a little travel for some of the away games. What I look forward to, actually, we know who the opponents are. What we don't know are the three preseason opponents. It's two at home and one on the road this year, right? Because they have eight regular season home games, so they'll have two home preseason games.

454.909 - 457.954 Petro Siebel

Oh, boy, that just totally makes up for it. It does.

457.934 - 476.837 Blair Kerkhoff

No, it doesn't. But you don't know the opponents there. Yeah. But, yeah, you know who the Chiefs are playing in 2037, much less, you know, 2026. It's because of the formula. But, yeah, and some of it leaks out, although I think there's been a little less of that this year. Right.

476.817 - 491.341 Petro Siebel

Well, what I'm being told is ESPN's got its hands on it now because it's an NFL. NFL and ESPN have joined, and ESPN doesn't want as much out there. The NFL didn't really care what got out there, but now ESPN's been like, now we're trying to get ratings here.

491.562 - 502.42 Blair Kerkhoff

Well, I would think that the streaming services would just say, I don't care about that, and we'll release what we want to release. Netflix has games, and Amazon Prime, and –

Chapter 8: What predictions does Blair Kerkhoff make for upcoming seasons?

565.828 - 581.985 Blair Kerkhoff

You've got to find places for all these road games. And if they're playing at the Raiders in Week 4, I think that's one that's been out, right? Chiefs at Raiders Week 4. So Week 18 has to be either at Denver or at L.A.,

0

582.235 - 607.72 Blair Kerkhoff

uh la chargers and i don't think we have they said that they absolutely are going to it's been that way for several years now where you end the season with a division game okay um so it'll be one of those two and i don't think i've seen either one of those games leaked out at la or at chargers at broncos yet my my my assumption would be it would be the chargers don't you think that that would be the one that they'd be looking for

0

609.708 - 611.631 Petro Siebel

You said Raiders or Chargers for Week 18?

0

611.992 - 619.545 Blair Kerkhoff

It can't be Raiders because they're going to be at Raiders on Week 4. So it would have to be at Broncos, at Chargers, Week 18.

0

619.565 - 621.909 Petro Siebel

Well, the Broncos, we've got both Broncos games on here.

622.19 - 624.434 Blair Kerkhoff

Where's the at Broncos?

624.474 - 641.964 Petro Siebel

The at Broncos is Week 8. Well, if this is accurate, again, and we don't have anything confirmed. It's still... But the popular theory is that that's week eight. So it would be Denver or Raiders. That's interesting. I still think that they could wrap with a home game. It'd be tough.

642.004 - 655.847 Curtis

It would be tough. My thought was it would be the Chargers because they go home, home, road, home. But if they're right that that's week six, if it's going to be a home game, it's either the Cardinals or the Jets or the Raiders.

657.329 - 660.275 Petro Siebel

Yeah, but I tend to think it's going to be road-road to end.
