Transcript

Speaker 1

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2

An Kevin mckayhill with the LA Sorry, Las Vegas Metro PD Sheriff talking about the cyber truck explosion yesterday.

Speaker 3

Just a couple of quick things.

Speaker 2

The body they found in the truck they believe to be this Matthew Liveelsberger, but they have not confirmed it yet. He said there was a gunshot wound to the head, wow, but that the body itself was burned beyond recognition, so they have to do dental work before they can get this guy. They did find a military ID, credit cards and a passport that belonged to that guy, so circumstantially it looks like it is him, but they haven't gotten

official ID yet. So this is Kevin mcmayhill, Las Vegas metroped shaft to.

Speaker 4

Las Vegas from Colorado and Carlos will put up the map there for you. And we know that he rented the cyber truck in Denver on December twenty eighth. We tracked his movements through the Tesla charging stations to Monument, Colorado. On December thirtieth. On the thirty first of December, the truck was charged in Trinidad, Colorado, Las Vegas, New Mexico, and Albertquerque and Gallop, New Mexico. On January first, the

truck was charged in Holebrook, Flagstaff and Kingman, Arizona. We last tracked the truck in Kingman at zero five thirty three yesterday morning. The truck was first spotted in Las Vegas at seven twenty nine am yesterday and Carlos will pull up a picture of the truck pulling onto Fashion Show Drive here and that picture was observed at about seven thirty four am. We know that he pulled into the Trump Valet and I believe we have a video of that. You can see the cyber truck highlighted there.

Speaker 2

They're showing a video of the cyber truck, but based on surveillance cameras from outside the Trump condominiums.

Speaker 3

But he pulls through and doesn't stro extence the surveillance video.

Speaker 4

We were able to track him leaving there, and we know that he went to several different places along Las Vegas Boulevard and he spent some time in a parking lot of a business near Flamingo in Las Vegas Boulevard. We didn't have a video of the truck pulling back

onto Las Vegas Boulevard from the Sands. See that there goes that's north on the boulevard from Sands at eight thirty nine, where he then immediately heads to the Trump Hotel, pulls into the valet area, and as of course you all know, the explosion occurs within seventeen seconds of his

arrival at the valet. There are some additional investigative updates that are going to be provided to you by a couple of the other speakers here, the first of which will be our special Agent in charge of the FBI local Office, Spencer Evans.

Speaker 5

Spencer, good morning.

Speaker 6

My name is Spencer Evans.

Speaker 3

I'm the Special Agent in charge of.

Speaker 6

The FBI's Las Vegas Division. So the sheriff mentioned, we've been working through the night with our partners, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and other agencies to gather all the facts and determine a motive to what was initially reported to the FBI as a bombing incident, to which our special agent, bomb techs and others responded. Obviously, we're always concerned in these sorts of events, to ascertain what

the motive is. We understand that's everybody's at the forefront of everyone's thoughts, and so looking into exactly what the motivation is remains our number one priority. This is why the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force has been brought into play, the Joint Tearism Task Force. Most important part of that acronym is joint. It is done in concert with our partners, which are comprised of more than a dozen investigative agencies

here throughout the state of Nevada. We've been working hand in glove, side by side, tirelessly to determine is there any ongoing threat to the public, to identify the subject, to determine any potential connection to other events going on in the world, most notably in New Orleans, and then obviously to determine if there's anything else that we need to be tracking down at this time. Is the Sheriff's pointed out, we feel that the subject has been identified,

although not conclusively, waiting for DNA evidence on that front. However, we do feel like we have the subject identified and at this time there is no information about additional subjects that the FBI is tracking on. We are resources as I mentioned that have been deployed in support of this event include Special Agent bomb techs, our Evidence Response Team, which is processing crime scenes side by side with the

forensics folks from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Our investigators are intelligence analysts, and then outside of the FBI Las Vegas Field Office, we have investigative leads that are being conducted by FBI field offices both internationally and domestically as well as Always, when the FBI is involved with any sort of case like this, we ask for help for

the public. Anyone with information related to this incident, we encourage you to please call one eight hundred call FBI, or you can submit a tip online at tips dot FBI dot gov. We've already received thousands of tips related to this incident. The challenge that we face moving forward is to separate those that are pertinent and relevant and those that can be verified for those from those that

have not. For example, one of the tips that we receive just today relates to information alluding to this subject's personal experiences related to his time and activity in the military. Again, that's unverified and uncorroborated, but one of many tips and leads that we will be following up in the days that come. If you have any additional information, again, encourage everyone one eight hundred call FBI or submitted online tips

dot FBI dot gov. We will tirelessly work to exhaust all investigative leads and conclusively determine what the nature of this particular incident was, what the motivation was, and to the extent possible, share all that information as we obtain it.

Speaker 7

Well.

Speaker 6

Now turn some time over to the Assistant Special Agent Charge from the ATF, Kenny Cooper.

Speaker 2

We're getting an update out of the Vegas law enforcement community about the bombing.

Speaker 5

My name's Kenny Cooper.

Speaker 3

I'm this cyber truck explosion outside the Trump.

Speaker 5

Ats San Francisco Field Division. ATF is bringing our expertise in post blasts investigations and our crime gun intelligence to specifically assist in this investigation. I will tell you that our special agent bomb techs are working with FBI and with Las Vegas Metro and sifting through that post blast debris to find components and investigative leads will derive from that evidence process. We're too early into that investigation process to give any determination as far as how this device

was initiated. I will say that we do know that the components primarily consist of fireworks, mortars, aerio shells, and are all consumer fireworks. Nothing commercial grade has been discovered at this point, and we've identified some fuel enhancers like the Coman fuel and VP Racing fuel, and some explosive targets that can be purchased at any sporting goods store. We've also, as you as a sheriff mentioned, we've identified

two semi automatic handguns recovered from the Tesla. We have successfully traced those firearms and I can tell you that Matthew Leyvesburg lawfully purchased both of these firearms on December thirtieth, twenty twenty four. We have agents following up those investigative leads. We know exactly where those firearms were purchased, and we will share any developments from those leads as they come in. Thank you.

Speaker 4

We also have the Clark County Fire Chief here, John Steinbeck, and he didn't have any additional updates, but if there's any questions in regards to what the fire fire fire Department did during this he's here to answer those questions as well. With that, things that are going around on

social media. We're going to continue to do that, but I'm also confident to tell the Las Vegas community and this great nation that we don't believe there's any further threat from this subject or anybody associated to him here in Las Vegas. With that, Denise, I saw you had your hand up if you could just identify yourself please.

Speaker 3

Question is whether or not this suspect say the question was that he.

Speaker 4

Had to subject have any ties to Las Vegas or had he ever been here before. I do believe we had had one instance a number of years ago where he stayed at a local hotel, but we're still trying to verify that information as well.

Speaker 3

Sir the David Charles Klis TV, there was.

Speaker 7

You have a gentleman in a cyber Trump Trump hotel. There's information that the NBI was in Colorado Springs last night, possibly at this gentleman's home. Any information about.

Speaker 4

Why, I think I'll let Spencer answer that question.

Speaker 6

So, as I mentioned, the motivation at this point is unknown. We are, as I mentioned earlier, following investigative leads both domestically and internationally as well, and so that includes search warrants and witness interviews, collecting forensic information and basically trying to.

Speaker 3

Compile the facts.

Speaker 6

And so there's investigative activity taking place literally around the globe trying to determine what the potential nexus is. But at this time, at this particular moment in time, as the sheriff aptly said, we have to focus on what we know and what we don't know. We know we have a bombing, absolutely, and it's a bombing that certainly

has factors that raise concerned. It's not lost on us that it's in front of, you know, of the Trump Building, that it's a TESTLA vehicle, But we don't have information at this point that definitively tells us or suggests it was because of this particular ideology or that you know, any of the reasoning behind it. That's the purpose of the investigation that we're conducting is to get to the bottom of exactly what happened, why and how, Sir.

Speaker 8

Typically to a PBCY of Los Angeles, you mentioned a number of similarities between this case and New Orleans. How far are the investigating cross if you guys go to try to rule out that they are connect knowing that you already.

Speaker 9

Have a couple of things that seem to connect them together.

Speaker 4

So the question is is how are we working to rule in or rule out any connections to the New Orleans event. And the answer to that is, every tip and lead that comes in, every piece of evidence that comes in, we don't discount it. We work it through. You know, it's an interesting thing during these kinds of investigations that if these turn out to be simplely similarities, very strange similarities to have, and so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point.

There's lots more for us to do in this investigation. We haven't even gotten into the phones or the computers, which are usually very very instructive and informative to us as we investigate. And we've got a lot more work to do to trace him, to see the stores that he went to, to rule out anybody else, lots of lots of investigative work to do, and we're just trying to give you an update on what we know now that is factual.

Speaker 5

We believe.

Speaker 4

The question is was the gunshot self inflicted and we do believe it was, since he was the only person in the vehicle and it occurred immediately prior to the vehicle blown up. Back there, sir, with the evidence you've seen.

Speaker 9

So far, are you comfortable without calling this a suicide vision?

Speaker 4

The question is, off, I comfortable calling it a suicide mission. I'm comfortable calling it a suicide with the bombing that occurred immediately thereafter, I'm.

Speaker 3

Not giving it any other labels.

Speaker 9

And with the family who's spoken so far that they shared getting prior red flags.

Speaker 4

The question is, did we have any of the family members share any particular red flags? Again, I'll go back to what I know is circulating on social media, but none of that has been verified at this point.

Speaker 9

All the found inside a cyber truck where they all purchase in Colorado.

Speaker 4

The question is did we were all the components found inside of the cyber truck purchased in Colorado?

Speaker 10

And I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 4

That's part of why we're doing the extensive part of the investigation.

Speaker 8

Associated press, Can you talk a little bit about the security measures you have in place at the hotel now?

Speaker 4

So, as you all know, we had just successfully completed a New Year's Eve event where hundreds of thousands of people come to Las Vegas. I've extended our posture just like it is for a New Year's Eve event where I have thousands of police officers that are working day in and day out. Obviously dozens and dozens of people that are working on this investigation as well. We'll continue to look at what that security posture looks like, but I'm confident in the safety of our community as we

move forward, go ahead. In the middle.

Speaker 8

There criminal record.

Speaker 4

Also, you know, the question was is there any criminal record? None that I'm aware of that has not been brought to my attention that he had a criminal record, And I said that the cyber truck was rented on December twenty eighth in Denver, Colorado?

Speaker 7

Are here?

Speaker 3

Hi?

Speaker 4

That the question is that we know if he checked into the Resorts World the day before this, I'm not aware of that information certain.

Speaker 3

There and how long you The question is.

Speaker 4

Generally about the security posture, and that's that's entirely our entire community, not only uh Fremont Street and the Strip, but surrounding neighborhoods as well, just to make sure that we have the community fill in that level of safety that they need to fill after an event such as this.

Speaker 2

All right, you've been listening to share Kevin mcmayhill from Metro Las Vegas Police Department about the cyber truck explosion yesterday outside the Trump Condominiums. The most significant in terms of the information is that they have found Matthew Livelsberger's military ID, credit cards, and passport inside the cyber truck, but at this point are not confirming that, in fact, that was him. They said they're going to await DNA

because of the condition of the body. You can understand that he died apparently now died before the explosion, but was burned beyond recognition because they said that he had a gunshot wound to his head.

Speaker 1

They've got a lot of footage of this truck, but I didn't see any footage of anything indicating a gunshot wound to the head coming from inside the vehicle. And he said that there's no reason to believe that somebody else shot him because it happened right before the explosion and there was nobody else in the vehicle. I don't know how you could rule that out unless there was footage of that moment, and there might be. There might be, and they may not show it.

Speaker 2

I could from the image that most everybody sees the moment it explodes, it's from up at an angle behind the truck. So if there was a flash inside the truck, the actual gunshot that this guy took his own life right before the truck detonated, it would be hard to see at least from that angle. But that is they said they found a couple of guns, at least two semi automatic guns with ammunition, along with all kinds of fireworks.

They have all, I mean the image that they have posted Vegas PD has posted of the investigation of the truck itself. It's in some warehouse somewhere and they've been able to basically cut the top off of this thing and go through, just centimeter by centimeter all of the stuff that was found in the bed of the truck, the fireworks, the different camp fuels. There was one can of racing fuel that was even involved.

Speaker 1

This was a guy who served in the Green Berets, of course, highly trained special forces worked a counter terrorism abroad train partners. He had served in the Army since two thousand and six, rising through the ranks long career of overseas assignments, deploying twice to Afghanistans, serving in Ukraine, Georgia, Congo. He was awarded two Bronze Store Stars, including one with a Valor device for Courage under Fire Combat Infantry Badge

Army Commendation Medal with Valor. He was on approved leave when this happened.

Speaker 2

Yeah, he grew up at Ohio. He was on leave from his duty in Germany. His wife had said she hadn't heard from him for several days. He and his wife apparently bought a home in Colorado Springs together several years ago twenty fifteen, but that they said that they have several addresses that are linked to him throughout the city of Colorado, including townhouses that were rated overnight.

Speaker 1

There have been some online sleuths that have dug up her Facebook account her clear hatred for Donald Trump. That has not that that has been verified. Yeah, that one has anything to do with this.

Speaker 2

But one of the questions to the FBI was, here's an Elon Musk product in the cyber truck in front of a Trump product in the condominiums. Yeah, was there a connection? And they basically say it's way too early. They don't have any evidence one way or the other.

Speaker 1

But it seems like quite the coincidence, doesn't it.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 2

Well, and the other coincidences that people are talking about is the coincidences that occur. It's the same day of this attack in New Orleans a few hours later. The guy had the every opportunity to hear about it, you know, to hear about the other attack. That he rented an electric truck through the same app, you know, through this Touro app couple of days before the attack itself, and then made his way from Colorado through to to Las Vegas for the attack on early yesterday morning.

Speaker 3

So anyway, that's the latest.

Speaker 2

Again, they have not confirmed the identity, but they said they've got all these pieces of evidence that point to this Matthew Libbelsberger as the perpetrator in this attack. So if there's anything new, obviously we will we'll bring it to you. In the meantime, let's do a very now. It's a super truncated swamp watch.

Speaker 3

Swamp is horrible. It's a government work man. We're gonna make this like a reality TV show, A bad bos. Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.

Speaker 6

Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.

Speaker 3

I have a watch of Malwarkee, he said, the swamp. I said, oh, that's so.

Speaker 2

Keep You know the thing, Well, the biggest deal in Washington, d C. Tomorrow they're going to swear in a new Congress. Yay, everybody loves that. But that gives them the opportunity to vote in a new Speaker of the House.

Speaker 3

Yay, everybody loves that as well.

Speaker 2

In this case, the current Speaker, Mike Johnson, is not going to have an easy time. And I don't know if this is just the future of Speakers of the House going forward after we saw what happened with Kevin McCarthy. But Johnson has been endorsed by the President elect to keep that post. He's still racing to win over a bunch of holdouts from the Republican Party, and they said that this could be another day's long floor fight to figure out who is or remains the Speaker of the House.

Speaker 1

Donald Trump has restated his backing of Mike Johnson. How much will that play a role in this trending towards Mike Johnson.

Speaker 2

It definitely gives him a hand up, But guys like Thomas The only known Republican defector in this vote is Thomas Massey. He has stated publicly he will not vote for Mike Johnson for speaker because of the numbers going into the new Congress. If everyone shows up, and it's the first day of school, so I assume everybody would. If everyone shows up, he can only lose two votes and retain his speakership. And he's got one already publicly

saying that he wouldn't vote for him. So pins and needles tomorrow, everybody, Pins and needles.

Speaker 1

Would you like your jeopardy question?

Speaker 2

I haven't done this for so long ancient Greeks for four hundred dollars, not like my wife just walked around asking you random trivia question.

Speaker 1

Scholar Richard I. Jenko believes this poet made irreversible mistakes in writing the Odyssey?

Speaker 3

Who was Homer?

Speaker 1

Yes?

Speaker 3

I thought that was going to be some sort of a trick or I misunderstood it.

Speaker 1

You always do this, You second guess yourself. And the new year, I'd like you to stop second guessing yourself.

Speaker 3

I just got to go with my gut. Yeah, believe in yourself.

Speaker 1

Yes, well, what a true eat. We get to talk to Mark Saltzman.

Speaker 3

The machines are getting smarter.

Speaker 11

This is tech Talk, brought to you by Sky net Mark Saltzman.

Speaker 1

Happy New Year too.

Speaker 10

Heay, and to you, it's been a few weeks.

Speaker 1

I think it's been a long time.

Speaker 3

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you have a cold.

Speaker 11

Nah, I just got nasal issues. I gotta I got a book of something with my E M T. Your throat person didn't. Yeah, I had something a year ago.

Speaker 10

I had, like I.

Speaker 3

Don't want to thing.

Speaker 11

I don't want to bore or annoy your listeners with talk health ailments. We're too young to talk about our health conditions. But yeah, no, it's all good. I feel great. I'm just chronically congested, and so I need to up my game. I don't know, maybe a deviated septum surgery or something. I don't know that very something something.

Speaker 10

But yeah, yeah, right when you think rhinoplasty. Yeah, it's all good.

Speaker 1

Okay. So do you make New Year's resolutions?

Speaker 10

Yeah?

Speaker 11

I mean for this year, I think I just want to sleep a little more. I think that's my New Year's nothing too exciting. I think just if I can get into if I can slip into bed about an hour earlier, that I would probably feel like one hundred bucks better A hundred bucks that's good.

Speaker 6

Uh.

Speaker 11

No, I feel like you know. That's that's it for me. Other than that you could drop a few lbs. That's a that's one that I say every year and I don't do it.

Speaker 10

But yeah, so I wrote a piece.

Speaker 11

I know where you're going with this, and I know I Shannon thinks Gary's New Year's resolution should be to stop second guessing himself.

Speaker 10

If that's it, If that's it, that's that's it.

Speaker 11

That's what you were saying in your last segment, Then you're good, Gary, You're You're good. But all kidning Aside wrote a piece for National Post, which is a national Canadian publication on the free apps that can help help you reach your New Year's resolution goals. And they do very of course from person to person, but hey, it's a new year, a fresh start.

Speaker 10

So I've got a few that I think.

Speaker 11

I like to share with your listeners to see if it can help them, or maybe they've already tried it and they've got some feedback.

Speaker 10

They can always hit me up on social media afterwards.

Speaker 11

The first one would be to yeah, again, drop some weight if that is something that you've been wanting to do. One of my favorite apps in this area is called my Fitness Pal. It is free to start, and it's essentially a calorie counter. So you set a goal, like I want to lose five pounds in one month, and then it'll tell you how many calories that you're able to ingest per day in order to meet your goal.

Speaker 10

So let's say it's two thousand calories per day.

Speaker 11

So you log your information with the free version of the app, or if you want to pay a couple of bucks, you can snap like scan the barcode of popular food items and it'll automatically log those calories for you. And then when you exercise, you're allowed to have more food too, obviously, So it's just a motivating kind of app. It helps you see what's going in your body and what you're putting out, and it also things like recipes and all that, so it's really great my Fitness Pal.

It is free to start, and then there's that optional I think it's eighty bucks a year to.

Speaker 10

Unlock all of the features. And on a related.

Speaker 11

Note, if exercise is something you've been wanting to do but you can't afford a gym, or you'd rather do it from home where you travel a lot, you want something easy to do in hotels. Eight Fit Workouts is a good app. It's just a number eight Fit. It's got over five hundred workouts ranging in time from fifteen to thirty five minutes. But you don't need to have

any equipment. You don't even need dumbbells. It uses your body, whether you're doing strength training or cardio, running on the spot, that kind of thing, push ups, it depends on your comfort level and what you want to work on or the part of the body that you want to work on, but.

Speaker 10

Really easy workouts to follow along.

Speaker 11

And it's also a meal planner, so it'll also give you recipes and break down the nutritional value of each recipe that you can make in fifteen.

Speaker 3

Minutes or twenty minutes.

Speaker 11

So a good one called eight Fit, the Number eight fi T workouts, So those are a couple I think if you're trying to watch your waistline and maybe you know, be more heart to healthy in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2

A lot of these, and I know you're talking about Matt My Fitness is one of those. I've actually used that one before to keep track of runs and progress and that sort of thing, and they come a lot of them have different levels. So the free version is nowhere near as robust as the paid version.

Speaker 10

Yeah, as you can imagine. That's yeah.

Speaker 11

So these are apps that we call freemium, so they're free to start, but if you want the premium experience, you do have to pay, Yeah, Matt. My Fitness is the same company as my Fitness Pal. It used to actually be owned by under Armor and they sold it last year.

Speaker 10

But that's a good one.

Speaker 11

What is free though, if you want to have some fun while you're exercising. Another app called Zombies Run is a lot of fun. As the name suggests, you're hearing this kind of scary story in your earbuds and it's tied to this, you know, post apocalyptic world where zombies are are chasing you and it motivates you to move. But it's a little bit more fun than that. You're collecting supplies and excuse me. So it's fun and that's called Zombies Run, and it.

Speaker 1

Is trail, but you're on a run.

Speaker 10

Yeah, right, part.

Speaker 11

Of that game that's good for quitting smoking. This one is free, not freemium. It's called Quit so that's kW it and it's based on decades of research. The company says they've created a dashboard where you can see your progress, both the money that you're saving as you're kicking the habit, as well as how many months or years you're adding onto your life by quitting smoking. So you're able to save money and gain some life back. You can see

it all in this calendar. And it's gamified as well, similar to that Zombies Run game in the sense that you can earn XP or experience points that you can redeem within the app. There's a daily check in to see how you're feeling. You can tap what mood you're in in the Quit app, and if you're feeling really crusty you got some really bad cravings that day, it'll recommend some alternatives to smoking, you know, like gum or two minute breathing exercise, something to get your mind off

of it. And yeah, it's really a great app called quit that is completely free. There's no paid element, and if we have time for one more. Money management I think is a big one as well, especially after the year we just had a lot of us get a little over our head, you know, with the higher cost of living and all that. So one of my favorite apps is called y nab, which is you need a budget and it's.

Speaker 3

Free to start.

Speaker 11

You can get thirty four days for free, and then after that it's one hundred and nine bucks a year. But the company says on average, y NAB users save six hundred dollars their first two months.

Speaker 10

So you're allowing it to.

Speaker 11

Securely link to your bank account and your credit cards, and it's bank level encryption two hundred fifty six bit you know encryption, so it's supposed to be bulletproof. And the idea is that it's helping you manage what's coming in like your salary and maybe investments, and what's going out your expenses and entertainment or whatever you're spending it on, and.

Speaker 3

Puts it into buckets.

Speaker 11

You can see, like these color coded charts and graphs what you're spending your money. You'll see like restaurants, and you'll be like, wow, I've spent that much on restaurants in.

Speaker 10

The year, you know.

Speaker 11

So it helps you make decisions. It'll help you make goal reach goals, like you could say, I want to raise three thousand dollars by May for a trip, so it'll tell you how much you should save per week. It'll even take that money out of the account if you want to segregate it. There's a loan calculator again, spending reports and charts, so it's either one O nine a year after that thirty four days for why and ab you need a budget or fifteen bucks a month if you don't want to commit to it.

Speaker 1

I love that they're trying to get you to save your money by charging right r right dollars.

Speaker 10

Well, you know, I hear it.

Speaker 11

But you know these these free apps you're paying in some way, like if you're not really paying money, you should question why is that app for free? Like that quit app? It sounds very altruistic. But you know there's ads and I'm sure you know you have to see what's happening with your data. You want to read what what are they doing with your data? And so nothing is truly free. But yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 3

It's a bit ironic.

Speaker 1

Good life lisson right there, Mark Saltzman, Is it ever really fair? There?

Speaker 9

You go?

Speaker 3

Always something well awesome to hear from you. Have a great new year.

Speaker 9

And to you.

Speaker 11

Hey, look, next week we're going to chat from the Consumer Electronic Show in Vegas. So well I'll give you a report on all the future tech.

Speaker 3

I'll be kicking the tires. Good. Thanks guys, looking forward to you.

Speaker 2

Make sure you follow Mark on x m ARC Underscore Saltsman Mark Saltzman you get more information about these apps and all the other great stuff that he writes about.

Speaker 1

So what do you think about Saquon Barkley. He is one hundred and one shy of Eric Dickerson's single season rushing record. They've got one game left, that means nothing. They initially came out post game after he got that close past the two thousand mark, which I believe only eight other backs in NFL history have done. So that's a feat in itself. But that Eric Dickerson record that has been around for five hundred years, that would have been really nice, although it would be an asterisk record

because there were fewer games that Eric played than Saquon plays. Yeah, but still, Sirianni came out last week and said, well, I'm going to talk to him about it, and I'd love to see him get the record, but I'm gonna see what he thinks. And so it was like kind of understood after that game that he would go for it, at least start to go for it in this pointless game of Week eighteen or what have you. And then it came out yesterday that he will not be playing.

They're not going to play him. So I wonder if that came from above, Sirianni, you know, ownership or something, or the GM, because between Saquon and Siriani, it sounded like they were gonna go for it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, And I wonder how much even if the GM does say that, don't you have a conversation with the player. Yeah, you'd have this a big deal, but we would really prefer you not.

Speaker 1

And there's not a nicer guy than Saquon Barklay who wants it for the team, like wants to be as successful as possible in the playoffs. But still that's hard to come that close to such an unattainable goal.

Speaker 2

And this is also the weekend because it's the last weekend of the regular season, and as we were talking about, a lot of these games mean nothing that there are playoff implications, but it's basically just seeding at this point, where they're going to end up and who they're going to play in the playoffs.

Speaker 3

Some of these are.

Speaker 1

For the Lions and the freaking Vikings.

Speaker 2

Well, but some of them are as meaningless as some of those preseason games. That's why you're going to see Jimmy Garoppolo start for the Rams and things like that. You're going to see these players that second string players that would otherwise not get a lot of snaps, end up playing the whole game because the game itself doesn't matter. Okay, So we have been asking for suggestions for.

Speaker 3

Walk up songs.

Speaker 2

For me at Fantasy Baseball camp, and some of them are great. Some of them we kind of ran into a couple of issues. Number One, well, I'm about the same age as all the guys are going to be play so we're all growing up in the northern California, most of us San Francisco Bay area, so the music selection is limited, and I wanted to be out on the outer edges of that so that it's recognizable. It's not just an inside joke that I'm the only one who's going to get. But I don't want it to be,

you know whatever. I don't want it to be Enter Sandman by Metallica because it feels like everybody is going to do Enter Sandman by Metallica. So we were taking suggestions about what should be a good walk up song.

Speaker 12

I gotta do the booty song while you're walking up Booty Booty booty.

Speaker 1

Hymn Booty booty booty booty booty booty booty booty booty booty booty.

Speaker 2

Booty booty Yeah y boo okay, which is funny, but I think sends kind of the wrong message.

Speaker 8

Gary.

Speaker 10

If you don't use booty booty Booty.

Speaker 6

Booty booty as your walk up song, you're a loser.

Speaker 3

And sow's your dog? Oh happy to you?

Speaker 9

Guys?

Speaker 3

What does the dog have to do with it?

Speaker 1

It's the more I think about it, the more it's pretty funny. Yeah. I mean, initially I thought if you played the booty song, you'd be inviting strange men to look at your booty like you thought that your booty should be looked at, like it should get attention. Okay, But the more I think about it, the more that's absurd and it's just funny, Like, who's not gonna chuckle when they hear that? Every time? And then you could do this.

Speaker 3

Well, I could do I could shake it well, shaky shake. Do you think that's gonna earn me points with my teammates?

Speaker 1

Maybe depends on if they have a sense of humor or not. That's the other thing.

Speaker 5

Your walk up song has to be Centerfield by John Foger.

Speaker 1

Two on the Nose.

Speaker 2

It's two on the nose and they're going to be playing that in between an it sure, right, So that's not what.

Speaker 1

We're not doing stadium rock.

Speaker 3

No, we're not doing stadium rock.

Speaker 12

Yeah.

Speaker 9

As a team building thing, Gary should use a warrant cherry Pie as his uh walk up.

Speaker 1

That is a little that's I don't if that would be funny, and like the booty song is obviously funny. That sounds like it is your walk up song to the stargarden.

Speaker 2

Right, which that's a different fantasy camp and we'll do that later in the year probably.

Speaker 6

Hey, Gary, I think you should use Crazy Train again.

Speaker 1

It's one of those that's two objects to you're gonna hear it probably, you know, it's like using that the song with the drums, the song with the you know, the drums that everyone knows how to play, every dude, I can feel it, right.

Speaker 3

That's definitely not gonna be every different.

Speaker 12

Don't have a walk up song, you know, like Babe Ruth and those guys didn't.

Speaker 3

They just went up and showed them who's boss.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you're going to have to distract people from you not being Babe Ruth. You're gonna need your own walk up song. I mean, if you were a Babe Ruth show, screw the walk up song. But here's something that's not going to shock you what you're not Babe Ruth.

Speaker 10

Wow, I got your I got your walk up song. All right, Gary, it's gonna be certified freak seven days a week.

Speaker 3

We blank blank blank. That is funny.

Speaker 1

That's good.

Speaker 2

Although they say on the form that you're supposed to fill out, yeah, understand that this is potentially a family thing, which it's not. I mean there's not a lot of family. There's no one in the stands. But I don't know who else is.

Speaker 3

Going to be there and who would be offended by that.

Speaker 1

Can you have people show up for you?

Speaker 3

Well it depends on yes.

Speaker 2

Well yeah no, because my wife is gone, you may just show up into the stadium.

Speaker 3

Yeah, there's no the gates open, you don't have to pay my.

Speaker 1

Gosh field trip. But there was nobody else hearing it.

Speaker 2

But to that end, a couple of years ago, they actually had to shut down one of the games mid game because homeless Guy was being tackled by the Scottsfield Police Department out in right Field.

Speaker 1

Okay, so it's in Scottsdale. Yes, that's a quick drive drive.

Speaker 3

Yeah, five or six.

Speaker 1

I have those days off too, So maybe we all go as a group.

Speaker 12

That would be funny. More of these suggestions. We could make signs a little later in the show. We could chanting you. That'd be like the movie Major League.

Speaker 2

And by the way, somebody suggested wild Thing Now, which was Rob Loos. Not sorry, Martin Sheen. Not Martin Sheen, Sorry, Charlie Sheen. I'll get through it. I'll get through it, turning into my grandmother Charlie Sheen's entrance song. But he was a picture. It's different, It's very different.

Speaker 1

Jacob says, we have cognitive declient.

Speaker 3

We don't.

Speaker 2

It's we're just it's we're out of practice. We're rusty, Jacob, you haven't been able to do this. They locked us out for a week and a half. Gary and Shannon will continue right after this.
