Episode Overview

This episode centers around a headline-grabbing "slip of the tongue" by sportscaster Michelle Beadle on her FanDuel podcast, where she accidentally mispronounced the word "Nuggets" while discussing the Denver NBA team. The hosts dive into the incident, the ensuing social media uproar, and broader conversations about cancel culture, the dangers of live broadcasting, and society's hypersensitivity to accidental verbal mistakes.

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Michelle Beadle Incident (01:31 - 03:02)

• Recap of the Incident: Brett Vesely recounts how Beadle, while discussing a Denver Nuggets game, stumbles over the word "Nuggets," accidentally inserting an "i," creating an unfortunate near-homophone of a racial slur.
  • "So she's doing this thing with a couple of former players...in the middle of this thing, they're breaking down a game with the Denver Nuggets...She speaks a little bit, stumbles over words...Nuggets comes out with an I in it." – Brett Vesely (01:46)
• Immediate reaction: The former players on her show “lose it” laughing, and Beadle tries to diffuse, saying, “Alright, don’t make a thing of that. It’s not even a word.” (02:26)

2. Broadcaster's Constant Fear of Slipping Up (03:02 - 05:23)

• Brett points out that broadcasters constantly worry about saying certain words by accident, especially those that can be misheard or misconstrued (e.g. "country").
  • "I think every human being who's got a microphone in front of their face has a fear of the words they can't say..." – Brett Vesely (03:03)
• The brain can play tricks, making what should be routine suddenly hazardous: "It's like your brain just, like, plays a little trick on me..." (03:55)

3. Context, Grace, and Social Media Outrage (05:23 - 08:23)

• The hosts discuss intention, arguing that harmless accidents are now treated as moral failures because "horrible thing known as social media gets hold of it and starts just going."

• Quotes the criticism: “It’s in her heart.” (Implying the mispronunciation evidences hidden bigotry), to which Brett responds:

  • "Give people a little grace!...That's not how a crazy, true, malicious racist is gonna get figured out." – Brett Vesely (06:52)

• They reflect on previous similar high-profile gaffes in broadcasting and the relentless pressure to self-censor.

4. Cancel Culture and "Offensive" Words in Sports (08:24 - 14:23)

• The group riffs on how certain words in sports (especially with Denver teams: "Nuggets," "Dinger" the Rockies mascot) are accidental traps today.
• Comparison to controversy over Native American mascots – arguing the outrage doesn't reflect reality when fans still wear the "offensive" merchandise.
  • "If it was that offensive, you'd just ban it from the stadium..." – Brett Vesely (07:34)
• They lampoon the "cancel mob" impulse to investigate, doxx, and ruin people for accidental language slips.

5. Live Broadcast Dangers and Personal Stories (14:23 - 17:15)

• Personal Golf Story: Brett shares a memory of accidentally saying a forbidden word during a live show, fearing instantaneous professional ruin because there was "no delay button" at the studio:
  • "I remember the first time... Like somebody poured hot water on me..." – Brett Vesely (10:47)
• Reflects on how apologies often do more harm than the original mistake, referencing the infamous Brennaman apology during a live MLB game.
  • "The apology will kill you faster than the actual [mistake]." – Brett Vesely (17:14)

6. The Limits of Broadcasting Persona vs. Private Self (17:16 - 18:41)

• They argue that TV/radio personalities are expected to be sanitized in public and “real” in private. The public is always shocked by proof their on-air persona is different from their real personality.
  • "You're not supposed to know any sportscaster's true personality... That's why we always act shocked." – Brett Vesely (17:23)
• The hosts discuss meeting broadcasters or commentators off-air and being surprised by their "normal" or even crude language.

7. Michelle Beadle's Future and Cancel Culture Advice (18:41 - 20:34)

• The group insists Beadle shouldn't apologize, suggesting that apologies just pour fuel on the cancellation fire.
• They discuss the perils of name-based accidents, referencing the infamous Price is Right contestant Nicole "Slapnicker."
  • "If she apologizes, she's done. And I mean, absolutely not." – Brett Vesely (20:34)

8. Broader Cultural Climate: Michael Strahan and National Anthem Outrage (22:49 - 24:49)

• The conversation rounds out with another recent controversy: Michael Strahan criticized online for not putting his hand over his heart during the anthem.
• Brett expresses exasperation at such nitpicking, arguing people used to simply have opinions without demanding public shaming or consequences.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the nature of on-air mistakes:
  "Your whole career flashes before your eyes..." – Brett Vesely (08:01)
• On the "power words" nobody lets slip accidentally:
  "The two bombs are the C word and...the granddaddy, the N-bomb, the big boy." – Brett Vesely (05:07)
• On why mistakes happen:
  "It's because your brain says, do not say the other thing." – Brett Vesely (04:19)
• Social media outrage:
  "Social media gets hold of it and starts just going... She uses it every day in her normal life. You don't just slip up and say that." – Brett Vesely (03:03)
• On apology culture:
  "The apology will kill you faster than the actual [slip]." – Brett Vesely (17:14)
• Summary on context and intent:
  "Malicious intent has to be included in that. So Michelle Beadle didn't do anything wrong and she should absolutely not get in trouble at all." – Brett Vesely (19:36)
• On the oversensitivity of today's audience:
  "If we're worried about somebody accidentally slipping up and stumbling over letters and words, none of us will survive." – Brett Vesely (18:41)
• Joking about Denver teams and 'verbal landmines':
  "That's potential time bomb. The landmine of words." – Brett Vesely (14:08)

Tone & Style

The conversation is irreverent, sarcastic, and sometimes crude, but always aiming to poke holes in popular overreactions, especially those stoked by social media. The hosts blend personal anecdotes, gallows humor, and frank reflections on the hypocrisy and performance of public outrage in contemporary American life.

---

Summary Takeaway:
The crew steadfastly rejects calls for Beadle's cancellation, framing her slip as a typical risk of live broadcasting rather than meaningful evidence of bigotry. They urge both the public and employers to consider context, intent, and our own fallibility, warning that cancel culture's reflexive outrage serves no one in the end.

[Brett Vesely]

This is the big red radio, and it's basically. Welcome to the Brett Vesely Hour. Because this is gonna get weird real fast because all the news stories yesterday and this morning that I was kind of keeping my eye on are, uh. Oh, what's Brett gonna do with this?

[Brady]

What?

[Brett Vesely]

Did you see what happened to Michelle Beadle? No, the SP. She does a show for our good friends at FanDuel. Right.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

And it's like a podcast. So she's doing this thing with a couple of former players and stuff, and they're just. I can't even play it.

[Podcast Host]

Why not?

[Brett Vesely]

Well, Brett, I can't play it. First off, I can't play it. Second, I'm debating whether or not she's gonna get fired. I know she shouldn't, but she's probably gonna get fired. So in the middle of this thing, they're breaking down a game with the Denver Nuggets.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

She speaks a little bit, stumbles over words.

[Podcast Host]

It happens.

[Brett Vesely]

Nuggets comes out with an I in it. Yes, that's right, Brett. Oops. Brett. I actually literally watched him work the Alphabet for a second.

[Brady]

Went to the tiles.

[Brett Vesely]

That's how you spell nuggets. N, U, G, G, I, T, S. No, no, no. You move the I over to another spot. So it's. Yeah, so stop. Now you figured it out.

[Brady]

I know.

[Brett Vesely]

This is why I think I woke up in a good mood. So she says this, and the two black guys on the podcast lose it. One of them. And she goes, all right, don't make a thing of that. It's not even a word. And that's exactly what I would have said. All right, that's not a word. I slipped up. And the dude on the show, like, head down, just starts pounding his hand in the thing. He's like, ah, you're gonna get. You're in trouble now. And he knew it. But he's playing.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

He's having a playful, fun moment with it. Then that horrible thing known as social media gets hold of it and starts just going. She uses it every day in her normal life. You don't just slip up and say that. You know how many times, Brady? I think every human being who's got a microphone in front of their face has a fear of the words they can't say, which is why the word country is always a struggle for everybody. And it almost seems like your brain goes, watch this. And it makes you stutter. Country.

[Podcast Host]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Every broadcaster I've ever talked to in my life. In fact, it happened to Major Garrett that his name. Major Garrett was.

[Brady]

Major Garrett, the guy you had on the podcast?

[Brett Vesely]

Cbs. For some reason, I just think of the West Virginia quarterback that I. Is. That. That was. Wasn't that major.

[Brady]

Either way, that was a major.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Major Harris.

[Brady]

Harris.

[Brett Vesely]

Major Garrett is the CBS guy. So I talked to him, and I'm like, what? Words are the ones that get it? And he. And this was off the podcast, just chatting on the thing, and he goes, oh, country. I swear I stutter it every time. Like, my brain just, like, plays a little trick on me, and I'm like, that's mine. That's the one that gets me a lot.

[Brady]

I always think. I mean, do you think it's because it's county and country?

[Brett Vesely]

No, I know why. It's because your brain says, do not say the other thing. You're already saying it. You just have to add the re part.

[Podcast Host]

I use that word a lot, me. So that I always get worried about, you know?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. I say country a lot. Without the. The. Without half of it. Without trying. Without trying. Right. So it's in my head to say, don't say that one. And That's a thing. I don't use the S word a lot, so it doesn't slip out. And I don't. You know. But it doesn't mean that. It's just in your head to say, this is a fire in word. I've got. We got about six of them. I think the S word is safe. Like, if you slip and say that like that's a button, nobody's gonna lose their mind. It doesn't turn into it hearing your mom say it.

[Brady]

Okay.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, it's like, a little bit, like, off, but you're. Yeah, it's like, nah, it's not a bad one. The two bombs are the C word and that then. And then the granddaddy, which is the end bomb, the big boy. But if you are talking, the bundle.

[Brady]

Of sticks is up there, too.

[Brett Vesely]

Okay, so the homo F word. I'll tell you this. I told you that when I went to that theater thing, and I'm talking to my neighbors, and I said I didn't want to be a. I was going to say S face, but I said, for whatever reason, stumbled over my. My. I was drinking. So I stumbled over my words while I was talking to Michael, and I said s, homo F word, which isn't even a thing, right? It's just new to me. And then I just patted him on the shoulder, and I'm like, da. And then just when I said I meant to say S, and then I, instead of saying face, said just the F word. And I'm like, I don't know what I'm saying. And he started laughing. I'm like, all right. You know, I met S face anyway. And we're talking about just, you know, trying to ask someone for money, for charity. You turn into a real face sometimes. But I said the homo F word, and he looked at me, and I'm like, yeah, I just, you know, whatever. And I've told him, like, I. I've thrown the bomb around a lot. I say it. I think it's a funny word, but I don't do it. Like, it's all context. She just stumbled over her words, right? Yeah, she. And I'm not a Michelle Beatle super fan. It's not like I'm trying to save lives here, but I looked at the comments on. On the Internet. They're. They're calling for her head. She's got to go. All she does is use that word. You don't just slip up and say that kind of stuff. And she was.

[Brady]

It's in her heart.

[Brett Vesely]

The dude sitting Next. Exactly. That's basically what they were saying. If you don't say that unless you mean it, it's like, yes, give people a little grace. Had she just turned and said, what do you think of that? Then you got something. But the dude on the set with her was in his. Now, if he comes out and says, look, it threw me off. But I don't think she was trying to say, like. And you know what? Maybe she says it constantly around the house. Maybe she's been just a nut racist for however long she's been that. That's not how you. You're gonna discover it. That's not how a crazy, true, malicious racist is gonna get figured out.

[Podcast Host]

Again, those guys were laughing about it, right?

[Brett Vesely]

I mean, they're dying over there.

[Brady]

It's.

[Brett Vesely]

Come on. I watched this again. I go back to what we're really offended about with the. When the Cleveland Guardians were in the world or in the playoffs, and they're like, it's just too offensive to say the other name. We won't even say it. We won't say the old Indians thing. We're not doing that. And then they pan the crowd, and not a soul in that stadium isn't wearing an Indian shirt. They all have the old gear, Chief Wahoo on their hat. And I'm like, well, if it was that offensive, you'd just ban it from the stadium. The Steelers played the Commanders this weekend. Outside, they showed the tailgate. Nobody bought a new commander's tent. They all have the old ones with the old logo and all that. And I'm like, well, if it's that offensive, the cameraman should just. Or they should digitally blur it out like Japanese dicks.

[Brady]

Why don't they have someone, you know, scan the audience and then they can get. Identify that person by the tent and then find out their profile and where they work and get them fired.

[Podcast Host]

Cancel them.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah, right? It's. So anyway, so she's. She's in hot water.

[Podcast Host]

That's ridiculous.

[Brett Vesely]

For. Not. For. Not. For just. And Nuggets. I mean, you're a hiccup away from making a disastrous word out of that. Actually, literally. You're literally just a. I mean, think of poor Brady, how he's gotten through life with a microphone in front of him. Thank God we're not a show in Denver battling words every day. You'd have said, what a warrior, that. A billion times. Nuggets. That would have thrown you off the air 16 times. The. The second they drafted Jokic and you started paying attention to that. Team. I went to the game list. I mean, Nuggets. Jeez. You know, and everybody would have to give you a break saying, brady's not racist. And that's not freak. That's not how you country. That's not how you catch him. Yeah. And she even said. She said, you know. Or she didn't say, but somebody said, you'd goof like that. You make that goof. And it's like, whoops, I just missed. Like, I stumbled over my words and made a word that doesn't exist. That sounded like a terrible thing. And she goes, oh, your whole career flashes before your eyes. I remember the first time, back in the old days, our old boss, Chuck Artigue, wouldn't spend money on a delay button. And I don't know how much that costs. $300. Yeah, but he's got to have an engineer to put it in. And engineers are expensive. And we didn't have one of those either. So I remember the first time I. I went. This still lives with me. Like, somebody poured hot water on me. Brady and I went golfing once. And I started to discover that day that I hated when Brady said, that ain't gonna hurt you. That. That bothered me. And I didn't realize how much because I was having a weird day on the course for. It's like, jesus, I'm hitting it and it's bouncing behind trees or. And so I hit one, and it was not a great shot, but it ended up in a spot, and it wasn't where I wanted to go. And I just heard for like, the eighth time, which is just like, basically somebody going, boy, you suck. That ain't gonna hurt ya. I'm like, ugh. It's not what I wanted to do. So then Brady stands up on the tee box, and I'm hitting the ball. Well, it's just ending up in weird spots. And he smashes a crap drive. I never forget this. At the Biltmore, I think it was the fourth or fifth hole. You smash this crap drive to the left. It hits a whole wad of oleanders, and you just see. Like, there's a magic angel in it. Just like. Like Danny Glover just grabs it as a ghost and throws it back into the fairway. It just bounced out of the a bush with no branches and beelines to the right. And he goes, that don't hurt. And I'm like, that's it. I'm never. And I just remember telling the story the next day on the air and saying. And then this guy. And I Said it, like, as clear as a bell. And like, oh, I'm done.

[Brady]

And that's when we were raw dogging.

[Brett Vesely]

We were raw. We were. We were std. Chancing it. No delay. And I'm like, well, that'll. That'll be it. And for the rest of the day, I just sat and thought, oh, when's the call come? Because you worry that it's like some sort of. You don't know how it works. And then you realize, oh, that one's not so bad. She goofed. But will she get fired? Boy, the. The Twitter world says absolutely, and they're dying for her to. To go away forever and ever and ever.

[Podcast Host]

I remember we had the delay machine in there for a couple years before it was even hooked up. It was in the rack.

[Brett Vesely]

Yep.

[Podcast Host]

But it didn't work.

[Brett Vesely]

Didn't work. And you had to be careful. So it's good training. So your brain definitely says, don't do this, don't do that. You've got these words that'll mess with you, and occasionally your brain goes, but flirt with it, and it turns you into a person who stutters over the wrong spot or whatever. And then Denver Nuggets is a risk. It's a risky one. But then when the dude. So how offensive is it if the dude on the show knew she didn't mean that. Times?

[AM PM Commercial Voice 1]

Look, I'm standing out front of a.m. p.m. Right now and, well, you're sweet and all, but I found something more fulfilling. Even kind of cheesy. But I like it. Sure, you met some of my dietary needs, but they've just got it all. So farewell, oatmeal. So long, you strange soggy.

[AM PM Commercial Voice 2]

Break up with bland breakfast and taste AM PM's bacon, egg and cheese biscuit made with K tree eggs, smoked bacon, and melty cheese on a buttery biscuit. AM PM Too much. Good stuff. Homburg's morning sickness.

[Brett Vesely]

But the world's like, made made up their mind that Michelle Beatles run around the house like a Klansman and she's racist and everybody said it. She's done, she's fired. And I can't believe everybody on that set's laughing and she didn't apologize immediately. Hopefully Michelle Beetle does not apologize right away. And how come this keeps happening in Denver? You've got Dinger on one side, you've got the Nuggets. I mean, if we're going to be super sensitive to words, we can't have one letter differences between. That's like having, you know, a team called the Facs. You got a double bang there. The Facks team. If that's a. Oof. What do you say? He's a Gib. Welcome to facts Basketball.

[Brady]

I was thinking, even if they. Okay, you know what? Just in case, just shorten it. Just go with nugs.

[Brett Vesely]

Nope, you would. I'm not calling that game. That is the only time a team name's offended me. Indians, Redskins, whatever. Nuggets not calling their games. That thing is. That's potential time bomb. The landmine of words.

[Podcast Host]

I'm not going to Colorado.

[Brett Vesely]

Between. Stay out of there.

[AM PM Commercial Voice 2]

Get that?

[Brett Vesely]

Yep.

[Podcast Host]

Between Dinger and the Nuggets.

[Brett Vesely]

They said. Broomhead just said. Do you remember the Carrie Lake flop where she didn't say box cutter, she added an end to it. And I do remember seeing that clip. Oh, I got to find. There's nothing you can do about it. There's. Broomhead knows. I'm sure there's a time when he's like, oops, ah, send C bomb. And then he moves on. Nothing you can do about it. Excuse me. Just in case. But look, you can't get everybody. And then, you know, in fairness, that's.

[Brady]

What blew me away the first time. It was in Cincinnati and I was hanging out with Tom. And at the time, his dad was doing the baseball game with Joe Nuxol and name drop number three, a guy, Bob Trumpy comes in.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, yeah.

[Brady]

Who did some game. And they go to a break. And I've never heard so much cussing between the.

[Brett Vesely]

Between the two of you have to get out of your system.

[Brady]

And then all of a sudden they go live and it's like they don't.

[Brett Vesely]

Miss a beat when the red light's on. You know me, you know him. You're not much of a customer.

[Brady]

That was the first time. I actually, you know, I was in college at the time.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

And you're going up the booth and you see these guys and all of a sudden afterwards, hey, did you hear about that?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. I mean, we've had meetings where they sit and they say, you know, off the air for a couple years ago, do you want to put cameras in the studio for what you guys do between the breaks? And I'm like, what kind of do you think I am? You think I can between the breaks, not say, and over and over and I got Brett in there. It's going to be. You're just gon. It's just going to sound like a dead patient in a hospital room with that boop all the way across. That's all we do. That's more flatline. It's all you're going to hear.

[Brady]

Ruins in between. It ruins the energy show.

[Brett Vesely]

Oh, my God. And sit and worry about that. No. Then the fact that then we both. We all get into our moments where we're not talking at all. And then people think they hate each other. It's like now we're just. I'm looking at something. He's looking at. We're moving something along. We got a little system here. We don't have to sit and chitter chat all day like a bunch of broads at Postina. Anyway, so Michelle Beetle might be in trouble if she gets fired for this. The hope, my hope for this is she doesn't apologize. Is she married to Joe Buck? I think she is. I think Beatle's Buck's wife. I'm pretty sure that's right. But either way, I hope she doesn't. I hope we live in a world now where that's like, I don't. Look, I'm not a racist. And you can sit back and say, have I. The one thing I always hate is during the apology, I would never use, like when Brennaman said, that's a word I don't use. It's like, come on, stop. Everybody has. Everybody's done it. The apology will kill you faster than the actual.

[Brady]

He's right on the air.

[Brett Vesely]

Right? But he's not. But he tried to say me and Jesus walk handy.

[Brady]

Like I've never said it before other than that time. That was the first time.

[Brett Vesely]

Painted himself as a self righteous. And then he decided right then and there, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to make this crack. That was an obvious like, okay, you use the word and you got nailed on it. On a broadcast, if Michelle Beadle wanders around her house and she sounds like Dave Chappelle. So what? You don't know if she's a good. You know, you don't know. And there's a ton of phony broadcasters out there that say a whole bunch of horrible stuff. And then when they're on the air, they're perfect. In fact, that's their job. You're not supposed to Know any sportscasters? True personality and what. And that's the reason I always say don't meet your heroes, especially in that world, is because it's weird. It's like hearing a teacher cuss. I met Jim Nance once and he started. He swore it wasn't even, like, bad. He just said a swear word. I'm like, because he's not supposed to. In my brain, he's the TV guy that, like, it comes out of him. There should be some. What's he doing? It's weird. And you get over that the older you get and the more you kind of. But it is a strange things. Broadcasters are supposed to give you their. Their TV personality and off the air, you're not supposed to know. And that's why we always act shocked, like, what happened? Why is Mark Grace. So Mark Grace is a fun dude.

[Brady]

Yeah. Now more than ever, too. When they're off the mic, they can't, like, I can't do it now. I can't vent.

[Brett Vesely]

I don't know who you are.

[Brady]

Upset at a person.

[Podcast Host]

I don't blame them.

[Brett Vesely]

I can't any of this. Yeah. So, I mean, they shortened the name Knickerbockers in New York and just said, go get them, kids. It's like, first one was hard enough. Now you're just making it. So I've gotta. So if we're. If we're. If we're worried about somebody accidentally slipping up and stumbling over letters and words, none of us will survive. And put yourself under the same scrutiny. Have you ever been talking and then stumbled over words and it sounded like you said something horrible like, ah, Jesus, you know what I meant. You know what I meant. And you always say, you. You know, I didn't. You know what I meant. Oh, you know, malicious intent has to be included in that. So Michelle Beetle didn't do anything wrong and she should absolutely not get in trouble at all.

[Brady]

When Andrew Dice Clay back in the day made a career out of just shocking.

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah.

[Brady]

That kind of character. No, he didn't. But he was doing everything else and he would drive it that way. That was part of the humor. Oh, you think that's bad?

[Brett Vesely]

Yeah. Well, I don't know.

[Brady]

I mean, in his mind, he's saying people are like, that's shark.

[Brett Vesely]

Grandmotherly impression I've ever seen of Andrew Dice. You guys. I wish you could have seen the incredible body motion of that one. That was pretty solid. But yeah, no, I mean, he was. Dice was just at a time when it was kind of a cool Thing to break up Murphy, take it to another level. But I don't think those guys ever did it to shock you. The reason Andrew Dice Clay's career stopped being good is because he came out gangbusters at first, and then his next couple sets were like, oh, now you're just trying to do this.

[Podcast Host]

We kind of ran out of material.

[Brett Vesely]

That's what I'm saying. It was all like, quick burn. Yeah, now you're just trying to.

[Brady]

Character then.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, it was. But yeah, and the character would have worked had he had more material. You get to that second, third album and you're like, oh, all your great jokes in this character were on one. And now you're scrambling to try to find that it's like a good album from a band. Like, you guys came out of the Gates incredible. And your second album is just trying to recapture it. And it's gross. We don't like it. So, yeah, it's. I. Hopefully she doesn't get trouble, but if she apologizes, she's done. And I mean, absolutely not. There was that girl from the Price is Right. I won't even play her real last name. No, you should remember the license of the day here on the Price is Right. Nicole Slapn. Nick her. That's horrible. Like, but that's her name. And so the poor announcer had to work around that. It's like, no, that's her name. You gotta scream that into a microphone and run the rip. I would have not said it. I would have said Nicole, sir, come on down. Is that me? Did you say slap? Stop. Your Price is Right goes off the air after 70,000 years. Because Nicole slap thing. I'm not saying it.

[Brady]

What's your name, bro?

[Brett Vesely]

It's her name, bro. Is not enough for me. Gotta say it, bro. It's name. No, I don't have to say it. I hope you get married soon and lose that horrible name. How did your parents let you do that your entire lives? Not happening. Did you go to school with that name, too? First day of school. Horrible. Anyway. And then of course, the granddaddy of all things that weren't real. No, no.

[Brady]

Play that.

[Brett Vesely]

But not the apologized.

[Podcast Host]

Heard some horrible language that doesn't belong anywhere on our broadcasts as far as I'm concerned.

[Brett Vesely]

You know, I never thought of this, but that dude screaming dinger and getting caught live on the broadcast, trying to get the attention of the Rockies mascot, probably. He probably thought, I didn't do anything wrong. And you didn't hear the crowd go, ooh, yeah, it does sound. When the guy comes on and apologizes. Oh, my God. That. He was just saying something terrible.

[Brady]

Name stayed right?

[Brett Vesely]

Somebody had. Yeah, somebody had to go down those stairs. Go. All right, come with me, sir. Why? I heard you. We heard you screaming. I'm like, what did I do wrong? Oh, my God, he's a whore. Doesn't even think he did anything wrong. Everybody come with me. Like, I just did it for my kids. You screamed that word for your chilt, you son of a bitch. And then he later had to reveal. I said dinger. Like, real loud. Like, oh, I can see where the confusion lands here. Never mind. The other one that's in trouble right now is Michael Strahan, because he, on Sunday, during some sort of tribute to the troops, stood with his hands in front of him, not over his heart, during the national anthem and stuff, and people went crazy.

[Brady]

I know. I couldn't understand.

[Brett Vesely]

Like, you have to put your hand on your heart or you don't love the country. And then he had to put a. Then he had to put a post out and say, my dad was a military man. I have nothing but respect for the military. I just chose to stand at attention, basically, and not put my hand over my heart. I didn't. And they were like, nope, if you don't love the country, get out. Remember? And before social media, remember, when you'd see something, you're just like, oh, Michael Strahan. I wish he had his hand over his heart. But he doesn't. You didn't automatically assume the person's a communist or a traitor to the country or whatever just for standing there, not doing it the way you would. I don't think it was disrespectful in any way, shape or form.

[Brady]

No, I didn't know. I just thought it was. That was kind of required for the pledge. I didn't know that was the thing that you did on the.

[Brett Vesely]

Well, national anthem is the thing where. And I'm fine with you putting your hand over your heart, but if you are just standing up and respecting it and quietly listening is what I would. And stare at the flag and sing along if you know the words. If you can't sing, mouth it, please. Because I've heard you people behind me at Suns games that think you're singing the national anthem. I don't know what you guys are doing. Those aren't the words. And you have no idea what. You're so tone deaf. I don't want to hear that. That makes me an anti American to hear that. But, yeah, I don't always stand. Sometimes I've got a Coke and nachos in my hand. Then I have to stop wherever I am and wait for the anthem to be over.
