beautiful people. It
0:02
is there is Thursday night football
0:04
tonight on prime Thursday, October
0:07
sixth two thousand twenty two.
0:09
This show stopped starts. Big
0:11
bang is back
0:14
for NFL Week five, which kicks
0:16
off this evening in mile high.
0:18
five thousand two hundred and eighty feet above
0:20
sea level. And that is the
0:23
site for the narrative building
0:25
Thursday night football matchup we have.
0:28
this evening. The Denver bronchos have been incredibly
0:30
boring. The Let's Ride era has
0:32
kind of been a snooze fest and
0:35
a stumble on pothole ride
0:37
through the finish line. Getting some wins. Yeah.
0:39
Nathaniel Hackett, figuring it out maybe.
0:42
Russell Wilson doing his thing. Cortland Sutton
0:44
may be getting a ball. Judy may be getting a ball. The
0:46
defense seems to be unbelievable. They're without
0:48
Randy, Gregory, how will that affect? But are the
0:50
bronchos a team that is gonna continue
0:52
to find ways
0:53
to win even though they
0:55
look like they suck. Fair
0:57
enough. And on a flip side, the team at his
1:00
look like they suck. but are
1:02
actually pretty good. Are they gonna find
1:04
their way and do their things tonight without
1:06
one of their MVP candidates of
1:08
a season ago? Jonathan Taylor at.
1:10
That means Nike Hines probably gonna get the rock
1:12
a little bit, Philip Lindsay, formally of the Denver
1:15
bronchos from Denver originally
1:17
has been called up to the act of roster. He'll
1:19
also be in the running back field
1:22
hopefully. Now we also have,
1:24
obviously, Michael Pittman, Jr. and Moe
1:26
Ali Cox who's a titan who's a guy
1:28
who played basketball in college, big body.
1:30
Oh, yeah. Huge. Big body, big athlete. Matt
1:32
Ryan seems to like throw the ball to him. And,
1:35
hopefully, we'll see another guy that Matt Ryan likes
1:37
to throw her to a big body. Yeah. He didn't. In
1:40
July, he was player.
1:43
We
1:43
don't know. I
1:44
think so. Yeah. Hopefully. I think he's a great player.
1:46
Every time I've seen the ball goes his way, good
1:48
things happen. Of course, touch down. Anytime I seen
1:50
him walk down on street, everybody's looking
1:52
like this. Uh-huh. He's a fucking big tall guy
1:54
who seems to score touchdowns and does his job
1:57
well, but he's rarely on the field. Well, this week,
1:59
Be the week that he's on the field becomes
2:01
a superstar joining us all day. Darius
2:03
j Butler and baby. And my wife
2:05
Moxadeva's here at Boston Conrad, Ty
2:08
Schmidt. One half of the hammer. God.
2:10
Calboy's tone digs is here. All the boys
2:12
in the back, foxy. Zito and Frank,
2:14
great work. We had a couple doors added to
2:16
the building. People were in here till six AM, I
2:18
guess. They know that was happening. Don't
2:20
necessarily love it, but their work was fantastic.
2:23
This place is really coming together, and I appreciate
2:25
you all so much for watching today. Obviously,
2:27
anytime you have an NFL game on the same day you're
2:29
doing a show, you're excited because you're getting a chit chat
2:31
about said game. Normally, on Thursday night,
2:34
football, We have coach Pagano come
2:36
in here and give us coach peas, Keith.
2:38
Sure. I love it. Not
2:40
today. What? What do you mean? Well,
2:43
unbunded. We're all buns because we're missing out
2:45
on it. because he has continued to be a very good
2:47
bumbler on these Thursday night football games.
2:49
Not that he's gumbler, but in his predictions, of
2:51
what he thinks is gonna happen. He's given
2:53
pretty good prognostications on how the games
2:55
are gonna go. With that being said, he's at a wedding.
2:57
So it's a good day. Okay. Congrats
2:59
to whoever's mean, or he loves love.
3:01
Maslow talk. Yeah. Nine?
3:03
Yeah. Or the whole thing? You name it. Push.
3:05
Yeah. That's
3:13
that's that's Hey. Anyways,
3:15
congrats.
3:17
to whoever
3:18
is getting married, the Chuck knows and Chuck
3:21
is going to. We appreciate that. We'll miss you this week.
3:23
We'll see you next week. Chuck AJH
3:25
will be here. But, Deepa, let's dive right into it
3:27
for this Thursday night match up because it is a big
3:29
deal. And, you know,
3:31
I'm from Indianapolis I
3:33
live in Indianapolis. I played for the coats.
3:35
So I talk about the coats. I think more than any other
3:37
team or show -- Yeah. -- probably ever. That has
3:39
ever had a national international,
3:42
but still regional feel -- Right. -- type
3:44
of show. Mhmm. But whenever we're talking about this
3:46
Indianapolis quote, they could beat the bronchos to This
3:48
is a team that could be the problem. They're one two and
3:50
one. They're not one and three. They're one two and one because
3:52
they tied the Texans. They lose to the Jacksonville
3:55
Jaguars twenty four zip, then
3:57
they lose to the Titan. So they have done
3:59
terribly against the AFC South, which is not
4:01
good news because if you're trying to make the playoffs
4:03
winning your division, it's normally a good place to start.
4:05
done now. Who knows? There's a lot of season left,
4:08
but the gold still can find success.
4:10
Tonight could be one of those games. With Appian
4:12
said, there's so many question marks around their fucking
4:14
team. Obviously, Shaquille Leonard is out
4:16
after breaking as those we believe in
4:18
also having a concussion on Sunday and his first
4:20
game back from a back surgery that was
4:22
actually to help his ankle -- Mhmm. -- what you got with
4:24
all year last year when he was almost a defensive
4:26
MVP. So many story lines, Ryan Kelly and Quentin
4:29
Nelson, still on the offensive line. Those
4:31
are two top hundred NFL players. haven't
4:33
played good offense to line play at all this
4:35
season for one reason or another. Jalani
4:37
Wood seems to be a weapon. We don't have lot of
4:39
those. he doesn't get a lot of plays. Moe Ali Cox
4:42
becomes a weapon, will they be able to figure out how to put them
4:44
together? It's like the coach's team -- Mhmm. --
4:46
literally has a chance to be great. It feels like,
4:48
which is why I continue to be excited
4:50
about them. So many question marks though.
4:52
Depot, what are you looking for in this cold
4:54
season tonight to get a win? And how do you think they'd beat
4:56
the Bronx? I mean, I'm looking for how how we
4:58
respond, you know, on a national stage of
5:00
that. Obviously, it gets a tough opponent. And that's a big
5:02
deal. The national stage can oh, you got a little explain
5:04
the mindset of I mean, because, you know, Sunday, a
5:06
lot of Sunday is a one o'clock block comes
5:08
on. Everybody's playing four o'clock.
5:10
But the prime time game, you know, your
5:12
peers, all your peers are gonna be watching
5:14
coaches, family, people that support you,
5:16
people that hate you, like everybody's watching, anybody
5:18
likes football, is watching football. So
5:20
you get up a little bit more --
5:22
Eightments can be made. Yeah. -- for a prime time
5:24
game. This is how pro bowlers are made by the way. Yeah. If
5:26
you look at, like, pro bowlers, all pros,
5:28
like, when When the stars
5:30
come out no. When the lights go on, the
5:32
stars come out. Right. I believe is how Dwight
5:34
Freini said it. It was one of the most lights.
5:36
different. It's a different game. It's a different feeling. More
5:39
cameras. If we're in a prime time game,
5:41
after that conversation with White Freeman, I know, oh,
5:43
okay. There's a hundred percent chance that White
5:45
Freeman is getting a sack right. And by the
5:47
way, he did. And that's where narratives and
5:49
prime times and everything. That is where it all
5:51
kinda comes together. And I I think that should be
5:53
noted though, like, these are big fucking
5:55
deals for Monday night football is still a big
5:57
fucking deal. Thursday night football and you put
5:59
it on prime, I
5:59
think this generation of players
6:01
probably more importantly. Yeah. We're we're on a streaming.
6:03
We're on a trailblaz and some new
6:05
businesses in there. Tonight's a big night. I
6:07
think we will see the best of everybody. It's
6:09
it's exciting night for for the
6:11
guys and it's opportunity too. Obviously, Jonathan
6:13
Taylor's out. She's kill the lenders out. Julian
6:15
Blackness out, I believe. So you got other players
6:17
that's gonna have an opportunity.
6:19
Take step up, man. But
6:21
it and for Frank too, because the
6:23
noise the noise is getting loud. You know, from the
6:25
outside of the building, it should be. It's from
6:27
here, it's from everywhere, from the outside of building,
6:29
sometimes that creeps into the building, but
6:31
they gotta make a statement from the top down. A lot of
6:33
pressure has been on Frank, been a head coach,
6:35
being the play caller, getting guys involved,
6:37
Jalani Woods, who has produced Nadim
6:39
Hines who everyone thinks
6:41
should produce -- Yeah. -- drug And they paid them. They
6:43
paid them. They paid them. They paid them.
6:45
So we saw him preseason working out the receivers,
6:48
working out running back. So he's a weapon that
6:50
you have to use. But like you mentioned
6:52
earlier, it all starts in the trenches. You you
6:54
hear it with AQ. You hear it with coaches
6:56
up here. you heard it with Nick Serietta yesterday.
6:58
The first thing you talked about when you got their job
7:00
was the guys that had ten years plus
7:02
in the trenches on the office of in defensive
7:04
line. So We gotta figure it out there.
7:07
Just because it doesn't matter how well you play
7:09
individually up front if the guys next
7:11
to you not on the same page, it's not gonna work. So it's
7:13
gonna start doing the trenches. and then
7:15
Matt or I obviously taken care of the ball and getting the
7:17
ball to the playmakers. Tom, what were you
7:19
saying? You said you said something into a microphone
7:21
about -- Mhmm. -- Frank Rekke was got a lot of
7:23
games left. he does. Well, the
7:25
game's left maybe. Corner.
7:27
Well, I'm just saying maybe everyone
7:29
says every season before the year that's
7:32
that on paper. This is a great team and
7:34
every year they come out and do this. Is that
7:36
is that our fault too, you think? There is?
7:38
What's that? You know,
7:39
it is kind of our fault that maybe it's getting a little
7:41
loud because a lot of people have higher expectations of the courts.
7:43
Is that because of us, you think? Because -- Yeah. --
7:45
on paper, you look at that team, then we wouldn't saw
7:47
them in real lives too. We won't saw them in real
7:49
life at training camp. Thanks.
7:51
Right. Mote the fucking line. I
7:53
mean, killed him. Matt Ryan was
7:55
slicing it. It's on our stream. Yeah. You go
7:57
back to our stream
7:58
from training camp. There's highlight after
8:00
highlight after highlight after highlight after highlight of the call. So
8:02
we shot that we talked after and we
8:04
go, oh, we did it. Ten's gonna
8:06
be good. We did it. No. That's the worst defense
8:08
of all time, though. Yeah. History is They
8:10
actually are the worst defense in the end
8:12
of we've seen it come in -- Yeah. We did. -- we've
8:14
seen it come in, but we thought maybe they wouldn't be
8:16
the worst defense in the history of
8:18
the NFL. We thought maybe they'd just be a
8:20
standard defense in the NFL, and that
8:22
must mean that the Kohl's offense is good. And with
8:24
Matt Ryan joining team as opposed
8:27
I'll walk
8:27
it into it. Not to it. It takes
8:29
time too, you know. Well, you're
8:31
running out of the quid. You know
8:33
how it is. It is it is the big boy league,
8:35
so there's no excuses, but to Harry Hines
8:37
talk about, you know, getting used to a different
8:39
quarterback every year, which is something,
8:41
but you got Matt Ryan who people
8:43
spoke globally about. Obviously, he's
8:45
play ball at a high level for a long
8:47
time. So it's not like we drafted the guy
8:49
in the fifth round. We're hoping for him to work out and
8:51
figure out a play football. So we got the
8:53
pieces, but it is it is
8:55
something that you have to get used. So
8:57
you see it going on in Denver, even with Russ,
8:59
you know, who's probably a hall
9:01
of famer. but they're figuring it out too.
9:03
So they it's not like they're they're at least we're not
9:05
coming into an absolute buzzsaw with
9:07
Denver. So we got an opportunity to
9:09
change the narrative. We always start slowing
9:11
Andy for some reason the last five, six years.
9:13
Why? Under Frank's tenure --
9:15
Mhmm. -- he started slow, but he usually would
9:17
kinda pick it up and figure it out. So hopefully, we it
9:20
again. To your point about Matt Ryan, when
9:22
we saw him in
9:23
training camp, I think that's when we thought, oh, it's
9:25
not what they thought. No. Because
9:27
a I mean, honestly, that brought beer's in
9:29
for us. Yeah. He he brought his beer's wide.
9:32
He was awesome. Yeah, man. When he came
9:34
into the studio, he was awesome. when
9:36
we saw him, a training camp he was awesome. Mhmm. When
9:38
he stopped and talked to us, a training camp he was
9:40
awesome. Great guy. None of it matters. Great
9:41
guy, the character, the
9:44
fucking not in city. None
9:46
of it. None of it. None of it. None
9:48
of it. None of it. Oh, no. It's not of an indicator.
9:51
It's not of an indicator.
9:53
Isn't it? five coming in dice,
9:55
what's coming next? Indicated
9:57
nine. Yeah. Nailing. You know that. Nailing on
9:59
the side.
9:59
Exactly. Indicate Somebody
10:02
brings me beer. Alright. I assume they're here,
10:04
dude. Yeah. Who you are with us? Is who you are
10:06
on the field? Bang. Boom. No. How
10:08
you do anything? It's like you're a very It's
10:10
what I'm saying. That's what you can meant. That's what
10:12
I said. Yeah. You can
10:15
and will say whatever is
10:17
to be said and could potentially be held
10:19
against you. Right. With that hat on.
10:21
Right? Bam. Just a quote machine over
10:23
there. This guy is fucking
10:25
Canvas. I love it. Anyways, we
10:27
didn't think
10:27
it was gonna take time with me now.
10:29
We honestly didn't because of how good he looked and
10:32
also because he rode
10:34
five. We assumed that was coming on the
10:36
other side with the beer brought to us and how much
10:38
everybody liked them and how everybody in the building was like,
10:40
hey, we got it. It feels like we're back Reggie
10:42
Wayne. Reggie Wayne who
10:44
I have a lot of respect for. Yep.
10:46
great wide receiver -- Yep. -- should
10:48
be in the
10:48
hall. Should
10:49
definitely
10:50
that boy send him into
10:51
the hall. Just look at his tape we'll
10:53
just take just look what happens. Yep. That's all you
10:55
gotta do. Watch the film. Reg du Wayne
10:57
should be in the hall of fame. And also,
10:59
he gave up a very good life to
11:01
go back to the portrait. Yeah. I I've
11:03
followed him along along on Instagram.
11:05
His hashtag he was using was
11:07
finally living. Yeah. Okay? So I don't know what
11:09
that means. But finally living is what he
11:11
was saying. and then you'd see pictures, big
11:13
cigars, some whiskey. He's riding bikes
11:15
like cars. Hundreds of miles in
11:17
Miami down there, beautiful
11:19
cars taking trips out. He has garage, I think,
11:21
that is just fucking awesome.
11:23
He's like, yeah, I'm a get back and I'm a coach. Then he
11:25
gets in the building. He sees Matt Ryan, he
11:27
goes, kind of makes me sick. He actually
11:29
said, how much Ryan is, like, paint manning, like,
11:31
pretty similar operations. Now Reggie wasn't in there
11:33
with Carson last year, so he didn't know anything about
11:35
how the building was operating with him in there. But
11:37
he said that, and then we see him do good.
11:39
And I'm like, here we gotta hate
11:41
him. Here we go. We're gonna be the
11:43
only team. We're gonna be the only show that is
11:45
letting people know. that there's a
11:47
team in the circle city, in the
11:49
middle of America, in Indianapolis, Indiana,
11:51
that seems to have been brought
11:53
back from the ashes of
11:55
when a once in a generation quarterback
11:57
with tires nine days before a
11:59
season starts when the entire
12:01
salary cap and roster was being built
12:03
around him basically. So that is
12:05
something that I think is worthy
12:07
of a conversation, which is why I think we're so
12:09
excited. But I watch them up close and
12:11
personal and a sweet and that's I am not gonna take
12:13
a lot of money for -- Yep. -- good seats.
12:15
Great seats. Great seats. You need to join something. Yeah. I
12:17
gotta pull up. Top tier. I mean, you
12:19
got, like, you
12:20
know, dad of the year awards to win. You all
12:22
got games, a bunch of TVs in it? Yeah. Yeah.
12:24
Alright. So perfect. Yeah. Well, we actually
12:26
had to do that because I'm
12:28
gonna pay the price set, I'm gonna pay to sit in
12:30
this place. I have to watch all the games as well.
12:32
So can we do some remodeling to
12:34
the thing? Right. Of course, I
12:36
assume we're paying for it, but Good chance.
12:38
Yeah. We worry about it. I get to watch them though.
12:40
It's a great view. Great seat. Great stadium.
12:42
Let's keep the window closed. No reason for
12:44
it. Actually, let's put a big jumbotron
12:46
there. Yeah. starve it. Make jumbotron there
12:48
would make the stadium look as if it's in twenty
12:50
twenty two. Yeah. Maybe even twenty fifteen. It
12:52
looked like if you get a big jumbotron,
12:54
it's stats up there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just
12:56
hey. Have one of these banners. Have
12:59
FanDuel or spit. Just have
13:01
FanDuel pay for it. I know that's a big
13:03
deal. How much money would be? Have
13:05
FanDuel pay for it. It'll be the FanDuel
13:07
jumbotron, and you have the biggest
13:09
nicest jumbotron and definitely in the
13:11
AFC South. Not in the holy because there ain't
13:13
nobody gonna be able to do it's cowboys did. Right. No.
13:15
Unless you rebuild a fucking stadium. Sure. That's
13:17
the only way you could do that's kind of the anchor of that
13:19
I don't know if the taxpayers wanna
13:21
do that again. You fucking bet I don't don't.
13:24
Time. Time.
13:27
Anyways, that fan will put that
13:29
up there. So there can be some stats run on the
13:31
outside of it because their TVs are too small to
13:33
put stats on it. Mhmm. k. So TV is too
13:35
certain. It's not even a jumbotra. the televisions that
13:37
they have in the corner -- Yeah. -- are
13:40
are not big enough to put things on
13:42
them. You know what I mean? So you need a bigger
13:44
jumbotron. I think put that thing right in front of that window.
13:46
Maybe you don't get rid of the window. And then you
13:48
can get FanDuel or any of these fucking
13:50
sportsbooks that'll pay you that amount of
13:52
money to have you have seventy five thousand
13:54
people that are in a state in
13:55
which it's legal to gamble right now. k?
13:57
So the only marketing that works in that stadium is
13:59
right
13:59
now market. Bud Light Mark Bud
14:02
Light Light Light. I forgot those existed
14:04
too. I didn't show that video. Give
14:06
me a fucking Bud Light. Hotdog
14:09
pizza, maybe a third to do that. but all the other
14:11
people that are marketing in that stadium, I
14:13
believe, and I might be too big of a stage. You're
14:15
wasting your fucking time. Once people get out of that game, they
14:17
don't remember any of it. I'm assuming you could
14:19
get a sports book to put a
14:20
jumbotron up there, to put stats up there. So you at least
14:22
know what's going on in your game and
14:24
that you're watching. And also around the
14:26
NFL a little bit, which certainly possible
14:28
with the new I
14:29
mean, we just put in a fucking jumbotron --
14:31
Oh yeah. -- in this place or whatever. Nonetheless,
14:34
you want that because when the field
14:36
is
14:36
boring. Yeah. You need something
14:38
to look at, I think. Right. And this team
14:40
has not shown any glimpses of the team that we
14:42
talked up in training camp or seen playing against the
14:45
lions on that day. Air has not
14:47
been easy for the Indianapolis courts.
14:49
On the offense or defense aside of the
14:51
ball, and it doesn't make any sense with the
14:53
Russia that they have But once again, tonight
14:55
could be the night, I guess, it all changed. I mean, it's a
14:57
little early to be saying, like, this is a
14:59
must win game, but you look at it and,
15:01
like, for both of these teams, it does
15:03
I mean, for the colds, like, you don't want
15:05
a a situation like last year
15:07
where you start so shitty and then you start
15:09
playing well and you kind of force yourself and like, if
15:11
we win our last six games of the season,
15:13
we'll get into the playoffs. Like, you wanna avoid
15:15
that. And then you'll get to the other side, like, the
15:17
Bronco's -- Yes. -- when we look at how the Chiefs
15:19
are playing, like, you you gotta be
15:21
able to fucking keep keep pace with
15:23
them. You can't really afford to
15:25
to let the Chiefs get like a three game leading the division
15:28
because they're liable to just run away with
15:30
it. So it's like it it's obviously
15:32
very early still, but with the way they've
15:34
both looked and the expectations
15:36
coming into the season, like, it is kind of
15:38
a must win game for both teams. It's an important
15:40
game here. From two programs that are gonna try
15:42
to go on and run. The Bronco's team, let's
15:44
dive into them a little bit. Go ahead, Tom. You want
15:46
it to speak of the Bronco's? Well, the
15:48
doubt. Good
15:48
easy question here. You wanna know who has the fourth highest
15:50
pass rating in prime time with the twenty nine and
15:52
eleven record of all time too. All prime time games.
15:55
Matt Ryan, Mhmm. Others others
15:57
Oh, well said. Other side. Very
15:59
good. Fucking
15:59
Ross. Good. Prime time, Ross, baby.
16:02
He's good. Mark, because all the
16:04
brands. Go for the brand. We are talking about it. This is
16:06
how pro bowlers are made. Their super stars are
16:08
made. Every prime time game is when you gotta
16:10
show up. Good man. Right? What's that? Good
16:12
man brand. No MVP vote. What
16:14
is that? You have to be a
16:15
good man to wear it. So I don't know if anybody's
16:17
gonna
16:17
so is the no MVP
16:20
vote? potentially because
16:23
when we're not all watching Russ,
16:25
it's
16:25
not always Russ
16:27
and prime time game roster or
16:30
is it when he's in prime time is when he's telling
16:32
everybody, hey, we're not running the ball on the
16:34
goal. I gotta throw a touchdown pass here. Mhmm.
16:36
And he doesn't. Oh, so you think every other game, it's
16:38
potentially much more. Yeah. Easy. Nathaniel
16:40
Hackett's calling for primetime
16:42
rush games in non primetime
16:44
games. Yes. So that's why potentially
16:46
the bunkers have kind of Mhmm.
16:48
Anyhow, it just has to have two different versions.
16:50
Is that what potentially happened? Are we getting are
16:52
we getting catfished by time to time,
16:54
Ross? Is there any way is that I haven't watched the
16:56
I guess, this something I should do. Good question.
16:59
Should we watch the film from
17:01
Seattle? Well,
17:01
when he was on basic ass
17:04
games, he's had He's had two prime time games
17:06
already. First one, they tried to do the
17:08
non MVP Russ hand the ball off
17:10
two fumbles, so you know they're not gonna do that
17:12
again Seattle. And then against the niners and
17:14
grant to the niners defense sounds seems to
17:16
be unbelievable. They only scored
17:18
eleven or thirteen points or something like that.
17:20
But follow-up might
17:22
be the best defense in NFL history. sure.
17:24
Uh-huh. With the defense As a people are saying, how do you
17:26
feel about that with the niner's defense, potentially being the
17:28
best of all time? Oh, best of all. I
17:30
mean, shit. It's a lot of ball left. And if they keep
17:32
playing how they're playing it, they I mean, you saw
17:34
that rounds game, like, staff are half
17:36
time it looked like he couldn't even get to his fifth or
17:39
seventh step on his drop. And it
17:41
starts up front once again and Nick
17:43
Bosa, one of the best edge wretches in the game.
17:45
They went out and got war from
17:47
Marty Chiefs, who was kind of under
17:49
radar sign him, but he's he's helped him
17:51
tremendously defend him. And then
17:53
Jimmie Ward is actually coming back to that
17:55
defense. So damn. I mean, it's it's a
17:57
lot of Fred Warner, who's one of the
17:59
best stuff. Oh, he's
17:59
unbelievable. so good. So maybe that is
18:02
maybe we're getting a misread on the
18:04
Bronco. because they did have to play that team.
18:06
In Seattle, any grand it's different
18:08
with Seattle just because it wasn't Yeah.
18:11
Moshe. Yeah. season opener.
18:13
And even last week, like, the the Raiders
18:15
have not been good and and
18:17
they look terrible against the stats were
18:19
a little bit better, but if you watch that game, it's
18:21
like, yeah, this ain't it. So tonight,
18:23
we're in for a real battle. I think
18:25
so. Yeah. Now here's the thing. Nevarez
18:28
defense. like, I think their fifth in scoring, like,
18:30
in points per game allowed. They do have a little bit of a
18:32
weakness. I think they're twentieth against the run, but guess
18:34
what? The cults are twenty seventh and running the
18:36
ball. So are they gonna be able to take a bet? Isn't that
18:38
unbelievable with the money that's been invested in the
18:40
offense of the offense. JT? That's the problem.
18:43
No. But and with the MVP in
18:45
the back, him not. Will
18:47
maybe this be a boost? Like, will this be
18:49
a different style of running for this
18:51
offense line? Can't go can't
18:53
go worse? Well, there's five spots. Yeah. There's there's a match right
18:55
now saying go worse. That's why
18:57
the cold season's been
19:00
so weird. because, like, sure, like, the problems
19:02
with that Ryan Fine. But you expect
19:04
to run him back who, you know, it's not as if
19:06
he's a step slower. And you expect the old line
19:08
who still has their two best alignment to at
19:10
least perform. Like, I feel like a lot of it,
19:12
we can say, like, hey, what the hell Matt
19:14
Ryan's dropping the ball nine times a game and they
19:16
can't do shit, but it's Why
19:18
is the old line playing, like, how the old line
19:20
plays? Why is it Jonathan Taylor
19:22
running like Jonathan Taylor? What happened to his ankle? What did
19:24
his ankle get her? Do we I think I
19:26
saw a hit during the game. I
19:28
thought on the jumbotron where
19:30
somebody landed on his foot while he
19:32
was down. Mhmm. It, like, twisted his
19:34
foot, like, his foot clearly, like,
19:36
bounced off the, like, with the weight
19:38
on it. And III
19:41
remember thinking, like, that would hurt, like, hell. And
19:43
then I I got into a full conversation
19:45
with myself because I had a couple of bug lights
19:47
worldwide. About, like, how many times does that
19:49
happen in a game? Oh. Like,
19:51
so many and how does that not cause more
19:53
injuries? I think something
19:55
that happened to him happened to him on the
19:57
field, on the jumbotron, made me have that
19:59
full conversation because we're
19:59
talking about the turf. Mhmm. And we're talking about
20:02
everything, and that that being cement underneath there. You can put as
20:04
many rubber pellets as you want. But at the bottom
20:06
of that shit, it is cement as opposed to
20:08
any soil or dirt that could potentially
20:10
eat anything. not that any stadium would be
20:12
able to make a fully ground feeling
20:14
thing because you're gonna have to wheel that some of
20:16
the bitch grass anyways, but would
20:18
something like a massive human
20:20
landing on your ankle like that, you would think
20:22
grass would help in that situation. I
20:24
was just like, I was kinda like talking
20:26
to myself through it all.
20:28
wonder if that's when he got hurt or was he hurt before that? I do
20:31
wonder that. Because how often does that take play that
20:33
take place right off? I mean, more for
20:35
him than literally anybody on the field. Even on
20:37
passing plays, they're in detection, so they're
20:39
getting rolled up on or or, you know,
20:41
ran into. But, I mean, everybody's trying to
20:43
tackle this guy. Unless they run out about, which
20:46
Jonathan Taylor doesn't do that a lot. Like, that's
20:48
happening almost Some people are rallying to the
20:50
ball. Your bodies are just, like, got like,
20:52
blockers too. Yep. Your guys your own guys
20:54
are falling on you. So even with offense a lot,
20:56
like, I watch the game. and I'm always surprised that
20:58
office allowed it. Yeah. They only get hurt more because
21:00
they get rolled up on, like, with no just
21:02
blocking him. Yep. Somebody just comes behind
21:04
him. So tough
21:05
game. I believe that
21:08
that is something I never took like,
21:10
because I've
21:11
never in that situation.
21:13
You know what I mean? Never out
21:15
of there. Not supposed to be. The only
21:17
tackle football I've played
21:19
where it's been been involved with, like,
21:21
multiple people in a pile. He's
21:23
growing up in, like,
21:25
a backyard basically. That's the only football. Kill
21:27
man football. Any other time, I'm just in
21:29
a position. I am just in a position where there's
21:31
no there's zero
21:34
contact, really. Unless I'm doing it, there's not
21:36
really like a gram of people. So when
21:38
I saw that, I immediately thought, like,
21:40
that's something I never had the fucking experience. I'm
21:42
very thick. I think my body would just break. Mhmm.
21:44
I I think my would just twist
21:46
off. I don't even know if you could train for that.
21:48
Hey, you need to have your foot flat on the
21:50
ground. No. You're gonna go down. I don't
21:52
think so, dude. I don't think so.
21:54
I did I did that
21:56
moonsault through
21:58
Rotterdam at the
21:59
table. No. That's right.
22:01
mm I remember. I broke
22:02
my fucking toe hitting the goddamn ring. You remember
22:04
what you're doing? Yeah. But, like, that's I
22:06
think my lower half down there, not meant to do
22:08
a lot of. You know what I mean? I don't think I'm
22:11
built for probably what broke my ankle in that
22:13
fucking thing too. So hope Jonathan Taylor's
22:15
okay though. He's a mass part of our offense. Nine
22:17
Heinz, though. Very good.
22:19
This is he they paid him He's
22:22
he can catch well. Yep. He
22:24
returns the ball very well. He's
22:26
done a round off like twisty
22:29
thing. Yeah. In full pads after scoring
22:31
a touchdown. Insanely
22:34
athletic guy. Could have a
22:35
big, how you doing? Keep it moving night on
22:37
Thursday night, football tonight. think all kinda hoping
22:39
for that with A. J. Superbust. Yeah. We need to
22:41
get that guy involved. I have a theory.
22:43
Bad. The cold slow starts. Oh,
22:46
shoot. Frank, Frank Reich is
22:48
notorious for the massive comeback
22:50
in college with the Maryland Germans down
22:52
thirty one. Oh, at halftime, he comes
22:54
back beats mining Americans. He's
22:56
notorious for leading the Buffalo
22:58
Bills down thirty two
23:00
points. Come back. He's the comeback king.
23:02
Can't be the comeback king. If you're head all the time, you gotta
23:04
get down to start. You gotta slow start.
23:06
And then everyone can say, oh, look at
23:08
Frank. Look what Frank is next. Nick. He's come
23:10
back again. Nick, this is Genius. Mhmm. You
23:12
hear me now? Back again. Next level. kinda
23:14
really
23:14
piece and things together like that. Nick
23:16
is fantastic. He is the I
23:18
don't know if
23:18
it still holds up, but when I heard the stat,
23:20
which is within the last five years.
23:23
Yeah. He holds the largest comeback
23:25
in NFL history and in college history. Mhmm.
23:27
Frank Wright. I didn't know that. Both of them.
23:29
Yeah. So whenever I think I
23:31
think I think that they were at the time at least. Yeah. At the time when
23:33
I was told I believe they were the biggest. Now
23:35
it feels like there might
23:38
be like a thirty some point, forty
23:40
some point come back. Yeah. This season, it
23:42
feels like, with the process of all things going.
23:44
But I asked Frank about Josh
23:46
McDaniel's turning down the job.
23:48
at his opening press conference. This is my only question I got
23:50
to ask. And he said the backup quarterback
23:52
role has suited him well throughout his career.
23:54
Mhmm. So became, like, the big conversation piece.
23:57
that he's like the greatest backup of all time.
23:59
Now Joshua Dan was supposed to be the
24:02
guy. Frank becomes the guy. This suits
24:04
his story, that suits his
24:06
and it's something that he's been very successful at in
24:08
the past. So it's like, it kinda all got tied
24:10
together. Nick, I can't believe it's the first time
24:12
we're even having this conversation. That
24:15
sounds That sounds very true. What if that's just how he operates?
24:17
Yeah. It makes sense, especially Not at
24:19
the end with the oh, look how good, Nick.
24:21
Good, look how Good, dear. just
24:23
type thoughts on Well, the the real world Oh, yeah. The negative
24:25
at the end. Yeah. Yeah. I I think it was
24:27
a reality there. Like, you know, star
24:29
slow come back. Like, oh, gotta get motivated
24:31
by something. Then you're like, then they
24:33
all say, look at Frank. I don't
24:35
think that. I don't think that's part of it. That's what we'll
24:37
do. Let's say, oh, look, how Frank's turn
24:39
team around. Just coach of the year. Just coach of the year.
24:42
Do you know what we're saying whenever one to
24:44
one? That is what what we would say. Come back coach
24:46
of the year. The worry is Matt Ryan also
24:48
is part of the big come back in Super Bowl
24:50
history, but he was on the other
24:51
team, unfortunately. So
24:53
I don't know how that really blends together. We get
24:55
it together. Also, they don't they don't blend
24:58
it good. Exactly. Like vinegar and oil? Yes.
25:00
Gas and water. Congratulations.
25:02
The Patriots went in that support. I
25:04
I mean, never gonna see anything
25:06
like that again. And Matt Ryan,
25:08
thank you. Bless your heart. What's your
25:11
problem? I'm just
25:13
bummed that it's what? Twenty
25:15
twenty two, next year twenty twenty three.
25:17
I
25:17
mean, Jim Murphy's saying the cold's got seven years to fulfill the
25:19
promise to me, and the people who paid for that
25:21
goddamn stadium. Okay. Okay. And who are gonna
25:23
pay for that goddamn video board.
25:26
you are gonna pay with their fucking fan tool accounts because guess
25:28
what as much as I hate the quotes. I'm gonna take them
25:30
because I want them to win. But
25:32
here we are. Tomorrow, once
25:35
again, the cold stank
25:37
against air one, three, and
25:39
one. Are they gonna be able to do this
25:41
and come back? because Frank,
25:43
come back. Right? Is the guy or
25:45
maybe tomorrow
25:46
we wake up
25:47
in gym or say he's the head culture, the
25:50
Indianapolis coach. because that's what I
25:52
wanna see. I wanna see Jim on the sideline call him
25:54
place. His daughter, Carly, has been seeing that.
25:56
Boom. Yeah. With a headset, a QV
25:58
wrist. Yeah. wrist band.
25:59
No. Yeah. Yeah. So our Yep.
26:02
Practice? No. No. No. No. No. So Sunday
26:04
is my game. Listen. jog
26:06
with team on field through tunnel. Yeah. It
26:08
was awesome. She gave the pre like,
26:11
more muscle speech. It was awesome. You were fucking old,
26:13
and everybody sprinted out of tunneling. I think
26:15
it's the first I I think it first when I
26:17
saw it. k? I had your reaction, like,
26:19
what are we doing? What's going
26:21
on? I gotta see that for myself. But now --
26:23
That's gonna photo. -- rather than, you know
26:26
I've seen her practice fill, you know,
26:28
take, you know, notes and stuff.
26:30
should train game players. Let me tell you that. Let me tell you why
26:32
I appreciate this. Their stories
26:34
about Hasselbeck having to go in there
26:37
and like XOs, like
26:39
teaching Carly, like football. Their stories
26:41
of her going into, like, scouting meetings
26:44
and, like, pretty consistently
26:46
showing yes. Exact at first, I'm
26:48
like, okay. Never seen you here
26:50
before. Now you're like, this
26:52
isn't how it goes. But now
26:54
with her consistency and how it's
26:56
gone, like, I'm like
26:58
fucking really impressed that she's like,
27:00
okay, I am given
27:02
the incredible opportunity of being in a
27:04
football family here. Yeah. And I
27:06
don't I don't know if she didn't take advantage of it
27:08
her whole life or if She did. I don't know much
27:10
about Carly. III do not
27:12
know. But I appreciate the fact that at least
27:14
she's like, this whole
27:16
jogging out with the team with the wristband thing,
27:18
on twenty twenty two. Fucking hilarious. But
27:20
I think she genuinely wants to under get an
27:22
understanding a little bit of how like a
27:24
fucking game works. So
27:27
because she is the oldest. So I believe
27:29
it's probably I don't know how that
27:31
works because they're, like, royalty. I think so. As
27:33
I can ask to which I don't know if it's, like, royalty or
27:35
whatever it is, but, like, I appreciate that she's
27:37
trying to cram as much as
27:39
she possibly can about football because
27:41
I think she's a very I I
27:43
think she's a lawyer by trade. I think -- Mhmm. -- so she's
27:46
and she has to understand what the NFL is
27:48
business wise. Like, let's say she didn't even love
27:50
football, like, for But
27:52
now she's, like, in it and a part of it and her
27:54
family's in it and she's, like, recognizing majors, she's
27:56
also, like, oh, this is also the best
27:58
business. Yeah. This is also the best business in the
28:00
world. So, like, I think maybe she's trying,
28:02
which I because their first same thing as you.
28:04
My tweet actually says,
28:06
Carl Ers has got a wristband on.
28:08
Uh-huh. And a headset. Like, she has
28:10
a chance to actually Not the earpiece.
28:13
No. No. No. No. Not just
28:15
the earpiece. The whole thing.
28:17
Yeah. I fucking but now I like more I
28:19
see it. Like, her jacket, like, the consistency with her.
28:21
I'm like, oh, she's trying to fucking just like
28:23
cram football in his
28:25
mouth. And she also maybe just
28:27
recognized the opportunity. Okay. My dad is
28:29
about the shit can, Frank. Okay.
28:31
I could be the first female head coach
28:33
in the NFL. Why don't I get down here
28:35
in the sideline? I'll get look, take a peek at the
28:37
play sheet so I kinda can be
28:40
prepared if he does get, you know, his
28:42
head chopped off one
28:42
of these weeks here, and then I gotta fill
28:44
in on a short week. I need to
28:46
make sure that we don't miss beat. Have
28:48
a Frank, Greg? explaining to
28:50
her why he's doing what he what he's
28:53
doing
28:53
and stuff. And then she's like, yep.
28:56
Absolutely. Not doing that. He's the
28:58
opposite, bro. There's
29:00
a chance. I think she's doing that.
29:02
Hey, Carl. Let me know, Carly. The DDB
29:04
is here at your service.
29:07
this defers. I got you. Yeah. That's very,
29:09
very nice. You got them on the
29:11
sultoon side. She is I think
29:13
she's trying her best though. till I go all the way. I'm
29:15
not just here for I respect it. I think it's
29:17
good for cult fans for the future. Put in
29:19
Gilani. That's
29:20
That's that's it. Simple.
29:23
617 Yeah. fucking put them in the game. Right.
29:25
617I guess so III
29:27
have said numerous times right into a
29:30
microphone. he's from
29:31
Miami. He's not.
29:33
No. I have a
29:35
two. He's not. He
29:37
won Georgia, I believe. Okay.
29:40
then he went think, State, and then he transferred to one
29:42
of the Virginia schools. So, Virginia, tech of
29:44
Virginia, I do apologize. I think Virginia.
29:47
Virginia. Yeah. Think he was
29:49
a blocking tight ended
29:51
Oklahoma state. Then goes to Virginia and gets
29:52
the ball a little bit more. So it's like,
29:54
I feel like he's probably capable
29:57
of doing Boe.
29:59
Lot
29:59
to a
29:59
point. I mean, the guy six seven is in
30:02
the NFL. I'm guessing he can fucking
30:04
block some what he needs to. I said he could put
30:06
his body in half of thirty one catches an okay
30:08
state in three years and then forty four at
30:10
Virginia in his last year. Okay. So he can
30:12
catch. It's still going. And he
30:13
wants to work at three pumpkins. two touchdowns
30:15
in the NFL. to
30:17
that. And so in four targets, I think
30:19
he has. Maybe it takes like three to four
30:21
touchdowns, one forty yard reception when we
30:23
needed it. Is that good? Maybe That's
30:25
good. That's good. Right. He's sixty
30:27
seven. He might not be good. By the way, he might not
30:30
be good. We might not we might have just seen,
30:32
like, the luckiest day in his life that
30:34
he thought two times over the Kansas City
30:36
Chiefs potential Super Bowl champions at
30:38
the end of this thing. It made like big
30:40
time catches, contested catches,
30:42
and then was stone cold about it on the other side
30:44
of it. We might have just seen him be lucky,
30:46
but I would like to find out. You know, like, I would
30:48
like to find out if this guy is a guy because he's
30:51
got shit You can't teach it. Yeah. You can't teach six what six
30:53
what's up. You're not being in long polls,
30:55
like, you're always open. You know what I mean?
30:57
And then Matt Ryan, he has
30:59
that see. He has the Put the ball. He's like, he's a
31:01
bit come on. Yeah. And he only would get better if he's
31:03
getting red? Yes. Find that hole.
31:05
Right? Exactly. That's what
31:07
it goes back to you. behind that hole. Exactly. Find
31:09
the window. Yeah. That's right. Throw
31:11
that baller. Just come
31:13
right inside that hole rate. Uh-huh. That's right.
31:15
You know what I mean? Get it in there. Come
31:17
in there hard. Right inside that
31:20
hole. Boom. Right
31:21
to July. Yeah. That's very popular.
31:23
Yeah. Is that what you're talking about? For their
31:25
football. Right? Feed them their balls. Alright.
31:27
Let's get to We
31:29
got a guess. I believe he's I
31:32
completely
31:32
forgot about him. I apologize. We started getting into
31:34
a conversation. Zeta did tell me this a few minutes ago,
31:36
I apologize to this man because I believe
31:38
this dude had some business that had happened
31:40
in which we'd like to congratulate him
31:43
for. A big money man. NBA
31:45
insider. Mhmm.

33:33
the podcast. Listen, I look like a jackass
33:35

any thought into this weekend. He's gonna have to
33:39
do something. Shams, you look amazing. know,
33:42
at some point though, that pocket square will actually be sewed in and it'll be
33:44
the same design as your under thing.
33:47
Just, you know, I I happen to pawn
33:49
a tailor and was -- Mhmm. --
33:51
I guess that's the easy thing. Nonetheless, let's
33:53
move on. The NBA's back home. We'll start
33:55
next week. Hey. We got the NBA's
33:57
back home. It's back home to work. Where are
33:59
you right now?
33:59
NBA is back. there there's there's a lot going I'm
34:02
in Vegas right now. I went to the Lakers'
34:04
son's game last night, saw saw LeBron,
34:06
saw the Russell Westbrook, saw the saw the Lakers
34:08
take on. the sun,
34:10
and then I'm gonna go see Victor Webb
34:12
and Yama and Scoot
34:14
Henderson play today. Though those are the
34:16
two projected one and two
34:18
overall picks. in in the in the twenty
34:20
twenty three NBA drive, Bigger Buena Minyama. 7374
34:22
guy, we've never seen anyone his
34:26
size. do what he's doing, Pat. I don't know how much you've seen him battle royale.
34:28
But but this kid, he's eighteen years
34:30
old. He can handle the ball. He
34:32
can shoot. And one thing that
34:34
I've noticed, and I've talked to scouts about the
34:36
executives about this, you know, we see Chegg
34:38
Homegrown. We see Christophe's Prozingis.
34:40
You know, they
34:42
they have unique games. They were called unicorns.
34:44
But this kid Victor Wim and Yama get
34:46
so much elevation on his jump shots
34:48
when he shoots from three.
34:50
Like, he's legitimately jump shooting like he's A66
34:52
wing. It's something that we haven't
34:54
seen. LeBron spoke about it last
34:56
night where
34:58
there have been people called unicorns before. This guy might be an
35:00
alien because we haven't seen anyone quite
35:02
like him. He's eighteen. Let's see
35:04
what he develops over the next year.
35:06
Is this what the NBA is gonna become? It seems like every year to
35:08
your point, there's this guy that's
35:11
taller, seems to
35:13
have a better shot than everybody and
35:15
has handles better than everybody as well. Is this what
35:17
the NBA's becoming? And what do you attribute that to? Is
35:19
that just the growth of the game at
35:21
the younger generation? more interest from
35:24
social? What do you think it is?
35:26
International? What do you think it is? Why is
35:28
this happening now? Because it's great for the sport.
35:30
Right? We're gonna go to a game. and it's potentially
35:32
be six ten and above everybody. And
35:34
they're just gonna be shooting and doing everything that
35:36
they're doing right now just had a higher altitude.
35:40
Right? Yeah. I I
35:41
mean, I think I would attribute to whoever's coming before. Right? You look
35:43
at Kevin Durant. He's probably the the standard bearer
35:45
when you think about guys
35:48
that are seven feet tall that can literally do everything on the floor
35:50
from shoot three's to
35:52
ballhand, literally every part of the game they
35:54
can connect
35:56
on where in past years, I mean, maybe, you know, Ralph Samson,
35:58
you had a guy at around seven feet tall
36:00
that can handle the ball in the eighties. Right.
36:02
But they weren't getting the the
36:04
the leash. They they they really weren't getting the latitude
36:06
to do whatever they wanted to do at that point
36:08
like Kevin Durant and a lot of these guys are
36:11
now So I I think it's really a a sign of the times.
36:13
You have Steph Curry, he changed the game. When you
36:15
when you think about bringing it out
36:17
to thirty five, forty feet
36:19
from from three point range. So I think it's it's a sign of
36:21
the time and also sign of
36:24
examples for Victor Lamuyama. Like, he has a
36:26
template to follow when he look at
36:28
Kevin Durant. I thought if I got lucky enough, you know, to one day
36:30
have a son or something like
36:32
that. And I just told, hey, need a
36:34
hundred
36:34
threes. every single Yep.
36:36
Yep. And he's six foot six foot
36:38
one, the NBA was potential, you know, because,
36:40
hey, we found a spot, we found a roll, gonna
36:42
have to have handles, gonna have to be
36:45
locked down. on defense side. But we're gonna need
36:47
good three and we're gonna need good d. k? We're
36:49
gonna need three and d out of here. And I thought but
36:51
now it's just gonna be seven footers
36:53
doing Now it's just gonna be -- Sure. -- it's gonna be 74I mean,
36:55
I mean, four steps I will say this I will say
36:57
this path. Dude Henderson, the guy
36:59
that Victor Romeo's going up
37:01
against him. He's 6162 -- Okay.
37:03
-- athletic is health. So I don't know if your
37:05
son's gonna be as as athletic as
37:08
competitors. But, like, you you can you can
37:10
find those dynamic guards, you know,
37:12
like -- Right. -- the West broke. You
37:14
know, Derek Rose. Don't even know who's
37:16
this guy can be impactful
37:18
as well. I don't even know if this kid exists yet. Sure.
37:20
Write him off already. I'm just putting in I'm
37:22
just putting up in the air, you know. I'm just I'm a
37:24
lot of know
37:26
what is his job. Yeah. I'm a let him know all his news
37:28
is going through the watch. No, you
37:30
didn't deserve that. I mean, you should have my kid that
37:32
doesn't exist until
37:34
it does. But nonetheless
37:36
-- Smoke bat speed is gonna be an athlete. Smoke
37:38
is gonna be a dog. Smoke is gonna
37:40
be a dog. But nonetheless, It sounds like
37:42
it's great for the game, great for the sport. The NBA's ratings, I assume, will be
37:44
higher than or other been except for on Christmas
37:47
day where the NFL decided to kinda
37:49
ruin everything with the the
37:51
season getting started here. The
37:53
big storylines right now are the
37:55
Golden State teams fighting each other and Draymond
37:57
and Jordan Paul hate each other. Boston
38:00
is without their coach. Is there any more news
38:02
coming on? What are the big storylines going into the
38:04
season that don't involve actual
38:06
basketball, you think? Yeah. I
38:08
mean, let's
38:08
talk about the Jordan pull drum on a green
38:10
situation. That happened last you know, we
38:12
I report on it last night when
38:14
Yesterday at Prime Show. I made a show. on green, Jordan
38:16
Poll, talking trash, all practice. There
38:18
was some pushing and chumming that
38:22
went on. and it
38:24
just escalated. And Jeremy argued from
38:26
what I'm told, he whatever you
38:28
wanna call it a punch, you wanna call it a
38:30
forceful strike, he he got at Jordan Pointe
38:32
and Jordan Pointe. Well, it was it was an impact hit.
38:34
No. The lawyers had to stop practice
38:36
right there and then they had to bring everyone back
38:38
to locker
38:40
room for everyone to gather, you know, emotions. Jeremy Longgreen was
38:42
very, very vocal from what I'm told after the fact.
38:44
There was there was a lot of of emotion
38:47
in that warriors facility The
38:50
expectation right now, Pat, is that DreamLounger
38:52
will be disciplined by the team whether
38:55
that's a fine you know, maybe
38:57
a suspension. The one thing to look at,
39:00
Pat, bring night for the lake for the
39:02
warriors is against the Lakers at
39:04
home October eighteenth. I don't think
39:06
either Drayvon Green or the Warriors wants
39:08
him to miss that game. If
39:10
he is suspended for multiple games, he would
39:12
he he might be in jeopardy of missing ring
39:14
night But I I think right is
39:16
trying to figure out what the discipline will
39:18
be, and and I would expect that type
39:20
of word would come down at some point
39:23
the Internet told me that Draymond didn't wanna play against
39:25
LeBron because of how close they've gotten and become
39:27
business partners on October eighteenth. Happened to hear that
39:29
you don't think that is the case. follow-up
39:32
forcible strike. So it
39:35
was a punch, a good effort. It
39:37
was a punch. It it it it it was
39:39
a punch. and and pahrante landed in his in his in
39:41
his in his in his face upper body
39:43
area is what I was -- Wow.
39:45
-- finishing shoulders. throat
39:47
punch. That's a pretty big window. From from from
39:49
what I hear, Jordan Pool is fine, so he
39:51
might be made of metal. I don't know. But Did
39:53
he punch him right in the rib cage or,
39:56
like, you think, face? pool punch
39:58
back? No. It it was it was a question. It
40:00
was above it it was neck and
40:02
above. Okay. What I'm saying?
40:04
throat punch. on the road. But but
40:06
Jordan pool, thankfully, is all good. Pat, I mean, you know, you you
40:08
you plays, you know, in the NFL, like,
40:11
this type of stuff happens. Right? Even in the
40:14
NBA, like, the skirmishes
40:16
in in practice, they happen. It's
40:18
when you cross the line and put hands
40:20
on someone in terms of punch,
40:22
I guess, a slap. I mean, maybe German Green
40:24
would have gotten away with a slap, but you
40:26
punch a teammate. It it
40:29
rises. to to another lever. Yeah. I think it's gonna be tough to
40:31
get back from the slap. The punch still interesting
40:33
too because he's known as, like, the
40:35
the vocal
40:36
leader team. Right? Not very interesting.
40:38
He's the juice guy. He's the juice guy.
40:40
He's everything. And now Paul is a very
40:42
important player after the playoff run. Right? I'd
40:44
assume at this point, Is that gonna fuck up the team?
40:46
Or are we gonna get bygones, be bygones, and this
40:48
how it normally works in the NBA?
40:50
So so
40:51
my sense is it it'll
40:53
eventually be, you know, bygone to
40:55
be bygone. Right? Well, like, this will be
40:57
water under the bridge in due time. Driven on
40:59
greenhead, this isn't the first time he showed in the motion.
41:02
Right? Like, there were, you know, less than a deck over yeah.
41:04
Less than a decade ago. He got into a Steve
41:06
Kerr in the locker room. There have been
41:08
plenty of back and forth with them. Yeah. We
41:10
all know
41:12
about the about the Greymont Green, Kevin Durant incident in twenty eighteen.
41:14
So I I think with
41:16
Greymont Green, you know that there are moments
41:18
where his
41:20
emotions can overtake a particular situation. And I
41:22
think he from what I'm told, he
41:24
took some some apologetic measures
41:28
last night as well. Like, he knows from what I'm told that he
41:30
stepped out of bounds. He should not have done this across
41:32
the line. And so he's gonna
41:35
apologize, I'm sure. and and probably already has a Jordan pool, and the everyone
41:37
will try to move
41:38
on. They did win a championship. So I'm gonna give
41:40
Jim Algreen, and the Warriors of the better
41:43
of the Dow. that's how they figure it out. Yeah. Good luck,
41:45
boys. Yeah. Good luck, guys. Good luck, guys.
41:47
Good. Good apology, spray there. Yeah. What's your source?
41:49
I didn't know I was coming III
41:51
didn't know I might be covering rest
41:53
like, you know, on a on a on a one day trip.
41:55
Jordan Bullsellers, a no sell. Did you yeah. Let's
41:57
talk about it. Was it a was there a knockdown?
42:00
Was it a knockdown from what you heard? Or was
42:02
it just pretty much that Jordan will take
42:04
that meeting right in the fucking
42:06
jaw? I I didn't
42:07
get details on on where it
42:09
went as far as the Jordan pulled
42:11
activity. But I didn't get those details, but I know as soon as they
42:13
had it delivered. Yeah. Teammates
42:16
separated those two. Like, it was almost
42:18
immediately with those two guys that could be
42:20
separated. So a
42:21
a pretty clean bunch of them. Yeah. If teammates were separating before
42:23
-- Mhmm. -- you might get a, like, a missed -- Around
42:25
-- and somebody said
42:26
it was escalating too, so they were probably on high
42:30
alert. And so soon
42:31
is it? Wait a minute. I think
42:33
I gotta add, like, these two guys go
42:35
at it all the time. So
42:37
it's like, I'm sure, you know, from what I gather, teammates
42:39
were even surprised when Draymond, you know, put put that
42:42
fist out and and
42:44
actually connected don't think
42:46
anyone saw that comment because these two guys do get
42:48
into it. So pool also shit talker. Big
42:50
time shit
42:50
talker emotional guy. Yeah? I think
42:52
he's a guy that's very
42:53
confident. I think German Green is a guy that's very, very
42:55
confident as you know. I mean, the warriors are built with
42:57
a lot of competent players in
43:00
Jordan pool. there's a reason why he went
43:02
from a late first draft pick, didn't play that much as first, you know, sometimes sec
43:04
you know, second season. And now he's bossing
43:06
into into a borderline dogs.
43:10
star, you know, star rotation. might be smelling self a
43:12
little bit, but I guess I didn't see money for you.
43:14
Oh, so my head to a.
43:17
I
43:17
also saw George Paul was, like, make five jumpers in
43:19
a row, and then everyone that he
43:22
missed. George Paul, like, kept getting, like, getting on
43:24
him in his day while. Where did you saw that on the
43:26
Internet? Yeah. Yeah. That's where you saw Mhmm. a
43:28
Internet. It was a report
43:30
on the Internet. Have a
43:30
bunch of readouts. Is that what you call
43:34
tweets? Just tweets or memes, I report on
43:36
you. Confirming your question
43:38
for Sean's, and we gotta let Sean's go.
43:40
We appreciate Shawns. Yeah.
43:42
Sean's, Pat alluded to it, but why does it
43:44
seem like everyone on the Internet who
43:46
has either played in the NBA or in
43:48
the NBA? knows what
43:50
MAU Doki did and how has it
43:52
not gotten out yet because as a Celtics
43:54
fan, I'm very concerned and
43:56
it seems like they're never going back to the
43:58
finals now.
43:59
though So I'm gonna break it down, you
44:01
know, what what happened? I'll give you the timeline.
44:03
Here we go. So this relationship, what
44:05
I'm told, started during
44:08
the playoffs. and it went into -- Oh, no. --
44:10
July and at summer league, the
44:12
Celtics found out in July. And
44:14
from what I'm told them, once the Celtics
44:16
found out, what they were told at
44:18
the time that everything
44:20
was good between the two sides that,
44:22
you you know, it was a consensual
44:24
relationship and
44:26
they obviously move forward with their off season. You know? Like, this wasn't
44:28
a topic that ever anyone within
44:30
the Celtics was I think worried about.
44:34
It wasn't until a few weeks ago when
44:36
the FEMA employee informed
44:39
the organization that she
44:41
had unwanted comments made to
44:43
her by EMEA Udoka at
44:46
some point earlier before this
44:50
relationship, his intimate improper relationship started.
44:52
And that's when the organization had to do
44:54
another really random investigation
44:58
and interviews and that's when they
45:00
come down with the one year suspension.
45:02
So anytime you think about workplace
45:04
misconduct, like, they're gonna
45:06
companies larger corporations like themselves, they're they're gonna take that seriously. So
45:08
that's really the extent of it.
45:10
Now what else beyond
45:13
that as far as people's
45:16
personal backgrounds and what their
45:18
situations might be with their,
45:20
you you know, with with their, you know,
45:22
marital status and things like that. That's nothing
45:24
that I'm gonna touch But
45:26
as as far as where where
45:28
where this situation stands, I made you
45:30
know because away from the team, I
45:33
think, listen, this isn't a relationship that should have
45:35
ever occurred, and the Celtics acted in
45:37
the way they acted. It it isn't I
45:39
I don't think
45:40
there's anything more than just unwanted
45:43
comments, unwanted you know, whatever you wanna call it language
45:45
toward the the female employee.
45:47
Okay. Thank you for laying that entire
45:50
I mean, I got a timeline here. I wrote down
45:52
playoffs, July, moved
45:54
on, then it says, female
45:56
employee said she had
45:58
unwanted comments said to
46:00
her before the
46:02
relationship happened before the playoffs. This
46:04
happened, and then they investigated it
46:06
after finding out in July. about
46:09
the whole thing they've moved on. All parties moved on. Then
46:11
she said that she had unwanted comments said to her
46:13
before the relationship even started.
46:15
Is that right? Yes.
46:18
Now now, Pat, I'm not
46:20
here to, you know, I'm not I'm not here
46:23
to sit, you know, to analyze
46:26
that. that those were the facts of
46:28
the investigation -- Got it. -- they they gave A11
46:31
year suspension. So
46:32
I understand, hey, listen, and
46:34
programs and organizations Well, you can't. You can't. Pat, you
46:36
can't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like you're
46:38
saying that. Organizations are allowed to have
46:41
their guidelines and protocols and
46:43
rules and assessments, especially when
46:46
something is in there, and then it
46:48
involves somebody of very high power
46:50
or whatever from what I'm hearing
46:52
about there. And I understand that, you know,
46:54
like, you know, you guys set a standard.
46:56
And the standard is standard, and you can't set
46:58
precedent no matter who it is and all that type
47:00
of stuff. But from the way was
47:02
talking about it, I honestly thought it was gonna
47:04
be much different than what you just said
47:06
there. Like, the way everybody who was, like, like
47:08
Steven and he came out and he was, like,
47:11
more stuff is coming and they can
47:14
they they do whatever they feel need
47:16
to do. And he was, okay, Matt Barnes,
47:18
I think, came out and said something. Those
47:20
are two people I have a lot respect, a lot respect I a lot of respect for
47:22
those guys, especially when it comes to NBA conversation because I
47:24
don't know shit about fucked over there unless I
47:27
talk to you. So is
47:29
there more that's potentially gonna come out? Or is
47:32
that everything right there that took place? Or do we not
47:34
know either of
47:36
those things? I mean,
47:38
this was the extent of of of
47:41
this investigative process. I've seen, you
47:43
know, I've seen all the various things on
47:45
the Internet probably you have as far as, you
47:47
know, blowing this up. Like, I've I've seen everything. But, I mean,
47:49
to to to clear things up, there
47:51
there wasn't an investigation into
47:53
multiple women women in the
47:56
workplace. There was investigation into
47:58
one intimate, improper relationship
48:00
that the Celtics had.
48:02
That was one female, one investigative process. It wasn't like
48:04
this was a situation where you may you don't go.
48:06
You know, at at least as far
48:08
as the investigation
48:10
is concerned, there were
48:12
multiple different, you know,
48:14
female staffers involved in this investigation.
48:16
There was one. So what more
48:18
it could be? Maybe they know more than
48:20
I do. No way. That's all your
48:21
face you said. That's right. You know, your mouth
48:23
said something, but your face said something
48:25
down. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
48:28
Yeah. It was. It was until
48:30
the body language. You got screen it
48:32
out. Yeah. That's what I just said. Yeah.
48:35
Our Yo, Pat. Pat, are we gonna talk about LeBron's
48:37
Vegas team? Like, what do you think about that? Yeah. You're
48:39
there right now, I guess. Are you in Vegas or where
48:42
are you? Jesus.
48:43
I I am in Vegas. I'm gonna go to the
48:45
Julie Gignite game with to see That's
48:48
that's what you said. I didn't know those star.
48:50
Yeah. I is is that where LeBron
48:52
played last night? Is that where he was? And then
48:54
he gives the press conference, and he says that. I'm
48:56
so eager, son. Yeah. Go ahead. and and he
48:59
spoke about, yeah, about owning a team. So, I mean,
49:01
listen, I think there's a lot of
49:03
momentum toward LeBron James eventually owning
49:05
a team, Vegas being specifically
49:07
the one he wants to own. But, Pat, here's one
49:10
interesting thing that I found out in the last, you
49:12
know, how many ever hours, twelve hours
49:14
since LeBron did made
49:16
those comments. if and when this does happen,
49:18
he would be or he would want to
49:20
be the majority
49:22
owner. So I think there's
49:24
been a lot of talk and a lot of analysis
49:26
probably going on, like, would the project
49:28
just be backed by a bunch of partners and just be
49:30
a name? he would wanna
49:32
be majority owner. So that means
49:34
putting the the brunt of the of the
49:36
financial money into this call. He was already I
49:38
think Ford is announcing the
49:40
billionaire. So that's the goal for LeBron James being a majority owner, not
49:42
just a silent partner, not just a name,
49:44
not just someone that, you know, a bunch of
49:46
backers can put behind
49:48
because he's LeBron James. He would wanna be
49:50
the majority stakeholder. Okay. That's a great
49:52
piece of information. We appreciate you,
49:54
Sean, Sherania, the
49:56
stadium and the athletic. The the
49:58
conversation immediately goes to
49:59
is he gonna
50:00
be Jackie Moon? If he owns
50:03
the team, in the Vegas team's coming soon, and
50:05
he's still playing. Is he also coaching
50:07
that team and general manager of that team? Is
50:09
it the Las Vegas, the bronze, and
50:12
are we? about to enter the
50:14
greatest arrow in sports ish. Yeah. Is that
50:16
about to happen? I mean I
50:17
mean, listen, there's no president
50:20
for a owner also serving
50:22
as a coach or a player or
50:24
anything like that. No. Like, let's as far as a
50:26
personnel decision, you know, you have like,
50:28
the Braun team is gonna be a majority owner
50:30
of of the Las Vegas NBA team. I mean, I'm sure he's
50:32
gonna be very, very, very, very involved
50:34
in terms of day to day, you know,
50:37
high level personnel soon. But as far as
50:40
coaching, I don't I don't think I see that in in
50:42
LeBron James future. But he will
50:44
be playing. Hey. Listen.
50:47
Michael Jordan did it with the with the
50:49
wizard, but he had to let go of his over the membership.
50:51
So That's the thing, Pat. Why? That that's
50:53
a trade off. I don't I don't I don't know if the brand names go buy a
50:55
team for billions of that. What's that? What's that? What's that?
50:57
What's that? What's that? rally's
51:00
where? rally coach owner, president?
51:02
Imagine Ronnie on his team though. Keep
51:05
it in house. I saw somebody
51:07
that would be
51:07
something Boardroom
51:10
posted that he has,
51:12
like, a eight point three million
51:16
NIL projection or something like that -- Oh, yeah. --
51:18
she he's face claims. well. And then arch
51:20
mannings, the number two, like, three point eight
51:22
million dollar valuations from
51:24
the boardroom. And then there's The youngest
51:26
Braun went and visited duke, so I'm pretty sure he's going there.
51:28
So that's pretty sweet. So that's probably not happening. He
51:30
just hit a growth spurt or something. Right?
51:33
Yeah. He's huge. The
51:35
young the youngest James he
51:37
just hit a gross part. He's I think he's
51:39
taller now. I think it is, like, seven.
51:41
Yeah. Right. Yeah. Watching that family grow up. Watching that
51:43
family grow up, it's really cool how they interact each
51:45
other, by the way, can't be easy with the spotlight that has been put
51:47
on that family since the parents were
51:49
both teenagers. So fucking very impressive
51:52
what they've been able to accomplish. but the youngest one
51:54
out of the game, but he might be the
51:56
dope. He might be the guy. He's I
51:58
mean, he can dump you know, the first couple of videos
51:59
that started coming out of it. Whoa. What
52:02
the fuck? Here we go about it. Here we go. Are they change
52:04
the won and done rule for those kids?
52:06
There's a lot of momentum
52:08
toward
52:08
that. Yes. I mean, I think
52:12
that's me. PA, the league wants to get done. So we'll
52:14
see the collective bargaining agreement. They're
52:16
still ironing that out over the next two months, what the
52:18
new collective bargaining agreement will look like. But
52:20
there is A lot of momentum, there's
52:22
a lot of expectation that that would be the case.
52:24
So, Bronnie would not, you know, you
52:26
know, unfortunately,
52:28
there was a lot of talk when I reported that that Ronnie, you know, a
52:30
lot of people speculate that Ronnie would be impacted. He would not be because this would
52:33
go into effect for the twenty twenty
52:36
four NBA soon as a twenty twenty
52:38
four major. Might even be layered than
52:40
that. Maybe Bryce has a
52:42
chance. Brian and John or brother has a
52:44
chance to be a part of that rule
52:46
change, but Bronnie
52:46
will not be infected. Okay. So
52:48
Bryce Bronnie and LeBron playing on
52:50
the Las Vegas LeBrons. It'll be tough.
52:54
That's right. Good luck coming to play with James's. You're playing in our fucking
52:56
backyard, dude. Can't do can't wait
52:58
to watch it. Sean's, we appreciate the hell Darius,
53:00
you have a question for Sean's? Yeah. I got one more. I gotta
53:03
ask you about I go out to Brooklyn, man. What's the
53:05
vibe like in Brooklyn, KD, Kyrie? Am
53:08
I a smart man or
53:09
I'm an idiot, betting on the Brooklyn maker run
53:11
this year? Let me know. I
53:13
mean,
53:13
III think that
53:16
everything so far that I've heard is is positive. A
53:18
lot will beg to me,
53:20
D'Bio, on how Ben Simmons
53:22
looks like Okay. He
53:24
he looked apart the other night. I think,
53:26
you know, he's gotta show,
53:28
you know, that he's there, that he's one
53:30
hundred percent there as far as what
53:32
he was. you know, prior to the to to what happened, you
53:34
know, in the playoffs and and what happened before
53:36
we take that
53:38
season. But there are high
53:40
expectations. By all accounts, he's one hundred percent
53:42
healthy. He looked he looked
53:44
pretty smooth fluid the other night when
53:46
when he played his preseason. debut, they play again
53:48
tonight. So I'm curious, his health, how
53:50
he comes along, will be very, very important.
53:52
Because to me, Kevin Kevin Durant, Calabrio,
53:54
we know what they're gonna bring
53:56
the table. There's no vaccine mandate this year for Calabrio
53:58
ring to deal with. So he's gonna be available
54:00
full time. Okay. But Ben
54:02
Simmons will be a big, big key
54:04
for the next I saw
54:06
some some
54:06
masks out in public.
54:08
Oh, yeah. A
54:09
few times in India. Right? Yeah. I
54:11
have as
54:12
well. Also at these game day things, I'm like,
54:14
what? They know something. I don't know.
54:16
I I need to know what they know. I'm present. You
54:18
said sixty minutes. None nonetheless, Sean, that
54:20
isn't free to discuss. We appreciate the hell
54:22
actually, it kinda was last year. Yes. Remember, you were
54:24
talking to city council in New York about the vaccination status and protocols?
54:27
Remember And then and then we were talking about
54:29
it. I mean, I I wanna say that we, you know,
54:31
we we did the hell of
54:34
a outbreak. you know, the last two years out, I gotta say something. didn't do
54:36
shit, Shamsi. That was you, pal. We
54:38
appreciate the hell out of you, ladies and gentlemen,
54:40
Shamsurani. Yeah.
54:43
He's called its football national champion,
54:46
a Super Boat champion, a RADA Cup champion,
54:48
COVID survivor multi time.
54:50
Yeah. Whoa. incredibly
54:51
handsome. You'll see these blue eyes in a second, ladies
54:53
and gentlemen, AJ Hong. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay.
54:56
Yay. Those things Oh,
54:58
gosh. Shit. So
55:00
I
55:00
never noticed how blue it's -- Yeah. --
55:02
anything crazy dude, like the Nike.
55:04
I accidentally made eye contact with
55:07
the first time I seen them -- Yeah. -- almost turned
55:09
to stone. He also has a blue light that faces him
55:11
to make them look more blue. Yeah. Oh, you got
55:13
his contacts in? There's contacts there or he went out to
55:15
people? usually change them up. I'm surprised you don't notice, like, some days
55:17
my eyes are brown, some black, some blue.
55:19
You never know what my real
55:21
color is. Well, we love when you
55:23
keep us guessing. Yeah. you. Yeah. Hey, great to see
55:26
you, man. How are you doing? Obviously, huge
55:28
night tonight with Colton
55:30
and Bronco's. We talked in the first
55:32
hour a little bit about how this is a narrative
55:34
building game for both of these
55:36
teams. The Bronco's, I believe,
55:38
their
55:38
fan base thought they've been a little bit underwhelmed
55:40
in a let's ride era with Russell Wilson
55:42
and Nathaniel Hackett, especially with the
55:45
wealthiest owner in the NFL. spending two hundred and
55:47
sixty million dollars to keep this guy around without ever seeing him play football. For
55:49
our team, they've looked kind of stumbling out the gates.
55:51
They did have to play the niners, so
55:53
that's a difficult team against for anybody,
55:55
but there's been other poor showings as well. Will the defense be able to win
55:57
them a game is what everybody's thinking against
55:59
the Indianapolis courts
56:02
who were sputtering towards oh, fuck what happened
56:04
season. Last weekend, they looked bad
56:06
against the titans for a majority of the game.
56:09
the game before that, it looked like they were gonna lose the Chiefs. They
56:11
get a massive win against the Chiefs. So nobody
56:13
saw coming because the game before that. They lost twenty
56:15
four nothing to the fucking
56:18
jaguars. So the cold steam have a lot of things that they can prove tonight, if they can
56:20
win this game on prime time. Like,
56:22
hey, maybe this is a year. Maybe there's another week
56:24
of hope Maybe the team can't
56:26
put it
56:26
together with Jonathan Taylor out and Shaq Leonard out,
56:28
two of your
56:28
best players. And on the Bronx does, we don't
56:31
stick. We actually are good. The money was well spent.
56:33
It just took us some time to
56:35
figure it out. was a conversation in the first hour
56:37
AJ. Is that how you feel and
56:39
you have anything to add on
56:41
to that? There's a lot to
56:42
digest there. I gotta I need think
56:44
it through a little bit, but what what's on the top of my mind was connected before you
56:47
went to break, and you would tell asking to
56:49
you, but are they are
56:49
these guys are they peneturable? Or
56:51
are they gonna be able to
56:53
penetrate these guys, like, that's what you're asking.
56:56
Correct? Yeah. Yeah. I wanna know if you want to thank
56:58
you. I'm I'm banking on the Cole's d line
57:00
and their ability to penetrate
57:02
The Bronco is offensive line at least enough to make it game. Okay. So
57:04
you think defense game penetration on
57:07
Denver's offense? Mhmm. Dean, penetrate
57:09
Hopefully, Denver does
57:12
no up those big gaping holes -- Mhmm. -- because then it'll be a long night for Indianapolis.
57:14
That's right. And that's football.
57:16
There's seat. Yes. There's nobody else
57:18
in this room that can make that sense.
57:22
I can do ten different dudes that Vonage do
57:24
three or four. What?
57:26
A lot of penetration cheese.
57:29
What are we doing? Okay, guys. Get your
57:32
head out of wood. No.
57:34
No. problem. It's so nice.
57:36
Come on. Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
57:38
Children. Yeah. I can
57:40
impersonate with his mouth
57:42
in vocal cords, like
57:44
ten different dudes. Mhmm. Connor
57:46
can be four or five different guys.
57:48
with his mouth, there's a lot of talent with voices around here,
57:51
tons of talent. There's only one
57:53
mouth that can make that sound to you here,
57:55
and that's why he makes
57:58
it. because he knows it's a good one. It's a good one. It fits
57:59
in. It was gonna be a fantasy football team
58:02
man. You remember it? Oh, yeah. He's gonna try to make
58:04
us have say that every single time
58:06
we say his demon. We couldn't figure it out where
58:08
nobody else can say it. See that you have a real talent
58:10
back there, sir. Team
58:12
Fresh meat. Boom. Nice.
58:14
That's his actual team name with the Kiss
58:16
Emojis. Not gonna be able to say it though. No. I
58:18
can't. Always
58:18
offensive for Bogdan. Martin, good. Yeah.
58:20
You gotta have it tomorrow. Fetchingly good. Dumpy,
58:22
actually. That might be Phil. Dumpy is not good.
58:26
Oh, shocker. Yeah.
58:28
Their team -- Absolutely fucking stinks. -- worst team I've ever seen
58:31
in Fantasy football my entire life. Really?
58:33
By far, long season.
58:36
What happened?
58:36
have They dropped the
58:37
nine year high. the second round.
58:39
And nine year pays off. We dropped the eight k.
58:41
We had tomorrow. Yeah. He's on our
58:44
first peaks. Yep. And then
58:46
Hines. You can check around 4266I
58:48
believe you already cut bait with nine Hines. Right?
58:50
You guys traded? Yeah. He's about to play now. They
58:52
don't have names. Oh, yeah. He's playing for fresh meat,
58:55
I believe. Got him.
58:57
Got Patterson. Are we doing any trades?
58:59
Are people trade major? I
59:01
know you tried trade, literally I sure
59:03
tried to. advantage me. Yeah. I didn't take advantage of
59:06
Tony,
59:06
but I did trade and get Graham Ganno
59:08
back. because he now
59:10
his rightful home. He's been a huge hit
59:12
for our lock. My team's owned two cents
59:14
trading grandkids. It's a terrible trade. Yeah.
59:16
There's still locker rooms completely disheveled. Mhmm.
59:18
My team, Graham Gunner, rocks, is now two
59:21
and o since getting Graham Gunner. Is that
59:23
the x factor? The x factor
59:25
is goodner. Yeah. he had long
59:28
balls. Yeah. And he's got to see on his chest. No.
59:30
The boys love him in there. I had a kid in
59:32
six hours later, Connor sent me a trade request
59:34
and I didn't even know where I was at, but I've
59:36
accidentally hit accept. and fucking What was it? for the Bellatrix. I
59:38
gave him I gave him God.
59:40
God. I was thinking I could win on Irene Hill
59:42
and Justin Jefferson for, like,
59:44
Mohammed's new
59:46
so Tony's just spinning some yarn over there. I gave him
59:48
the Bronco's defense, which there he's
59:50
talking about. Unbelievable. And I got Zach
59:52
Kurtz, and he was even playing Zach
59:55
records at the time. So it was a fair trade.
59:57
But, I mean, yeah, I've been in the lab
59:59
trying to,
59:59
you know, make some trades. I have been known
1:00:02
to be a mad scientist. when it comes to
1:00:04
Fantasy Football. Zooming. Like Tom and said about
1:00:06
Von Miller. Bing. Right? Like Billy Bean
1:00:08
chewing on paper when he's trying to make trays
1:00:10
there, buddy. Okay. So in first place --
1:00:12
Team gump. -- out of baby gump. Where'd you go?
1:00:14
Gummy. We're the only winners.
1:00:16
Company's undefeated. He's like a Philadelphia Eagles
1:00:18
team gump up there in Canada. They know
1:00:20
their fantasy Hey, Jay. How about that Canadian
1:00:22
pharmacy? I took on
1:00:24
gump last week, I believe. He ended up
1:00:26
just barely edging
1:00:28
me out. Oh, okay. So they he has been in games. I haven't been able to follow though
1:00:30
closely enough how these games have gone. I don't know
1:00:32
if the team's through and through. I do know that
1:00:34
CFO I don't really know. tell you the truth. I know we're
1:00:36
playing him Yeah. He barely
1:00:38
beat off my cock
1:00:40
hurts. Barely. He was
1:00:42
agitated. Yeah. Was it really close? It was
1:00:44
a closed game. There we battle.
1:00:46
You guys are down in our science place.
1:00:48
My team with Phil is in second place.
1:00:50
I had a baby Phil. Good morning, Phil.
1:00:52
Coastal elites, Bruce Brown, and third, not too bad there, Bruce. Now,
1:00:55
Bruce is the commissioner league, so there might be some
1:00:57
fuckery there. Sure. Yeah. He always seems to get the
1:00:59
first waiver. I don't know. how
1:01:01
that works. Yeah. That's weird. In the fourth place,
1:01:04
fresh meat, that was
1:01:06
four or five. But I think there was AAA
1:01:10
letter Yeah.
1:01:11
No. Max. Yeah. Max it out
1:01:13
with all the emojis, so he couldn't get all
1:01:15
the extra kisses in. Although it has said,
1:01:17
it's not wrote. The
1:01:20
clobbering cabboli. That's your
1:01:21
team, Nick. Yeah. That's
1:01:23
me. Kai? That is my team. Yep.
1:01:25
With his face, actually. Yeah. You you can see
1:01:27
me. My team logo is actually Chipotle's
1:01:29
face on there. Yeah. Actually, we're
1:01:32
walking boot. Wow.
1:01:34
Easy AJ.
1:01:34
Actually, that's
1:01:35
when the season kinda turned around is
1:01:38
when, you
1:01:40
know, Caboli found himself in the hospital. Again, my boys knew that
1:01:42
we gotta fucking we gotta put on for
1:01:44
our namesake. from Yeah. And they have.
1:01:48
and they have two weeks.
1:01:50
So I that's, you know, scored a hundred and sixty five
1:01:52
points this last week. in in his
1:01:54
highest highest point total by
1:01:56
any team. What's so
1:01:57
funny? What I do. Coboli
1:01:59
is on my funeral. Okay. Oxy Coboli
1:02:02
is battling. Wow. We you
1:02:05
want to dodge your mister Trey? Literally, reach out to him. I'm
1:02:07
like, hey, how's football are we doing? And we didn't know
1:02:09
because he hasn't tweeted in weeks. Mhmm. That's the
1:02:11
universe saying, like, hey, guess what? Our
1:02:14
namesake is
1:02:14
down on his luck right now. Boys
1:02:16
need to go
1:02:16
out there before him. Okay. for
1:02:18
him. And T. J. Hawkins last week,
1:02:21
he fucking took that message to heart. Fighting
1:02:23
Otters, who are the fighting Otters,
1:02:25
who are the six players, not too bad, too, and
1:02:27
too a lot of people tied here, I guess.
1:02:29
You're gonna to and all tie. Right? Yeah. I think it's
1:02:31
points after that. Oh, yeah.
1:02:33
Point. Point total is
1:02:35
the tie breaker. Yeah.
1:02:37
We Team Graham,
1:02:40
you know, rocks, the pitch smart steers. Is
1:02:42
that you, digs the pitch smart steers? No. That's
1:02:44
that's a scumbags stolen valor fox.
1:02:47
Whoa. That's me. Foxy.
1:02:49
What's that all about? Well, two and
1:02:51
o with Graham, you know, own
1:02:53
two with Adam's. Oh, absolutely. Stakes now just like the real
1:02:55
Pittsburgh. Grab this case. Oh, the team grabbed, you
1:02:58
know, rocks is is
1:03:00
climbing up the the charts
1:03:02
here. Right? That's right. Starred out owing to
1:03:04
really down on Norlock didn't really have
1:03:06
that leader in the walk room. We trade
1:03:08
Adam the only for Graham Cannell. all of a sudden
1:03:10
everybody's following, you know, number nine up there
1:03:12
in New York. Scoring.
1:03:14
Scoring points. Back to back
1:03:17
huge weeks. I do have the undefeated
1:03:19
team gumps, though, this weekend. So we need you
1:03:21
we'll see how it goes today. We need you to get a win
1:03:23
there. It goes down. We missed you
1:03:25
gump, but also Neither one in
1:03:26
that l call. Yeah. He's got a lot of Denver
1:03:29
guys going for him tonight. So Mike
1:03:31
Hockerts here. We talked about
1:03:34
that, imagine They might defense had a negative score. I think
1:03:36
Alaska. Yeah. They have the Bucks defense. They give up
1:03:38
forty one points. What do you say? So how do you get like,
1:03:40
how do you get points
1:03:42
a defect. So you're a my you lose points. Yeah. Yeah. It
1:03:44
was it was a rough one. But how do we get
1:03:47
points different Sachs inter sessions? Interceptions. Bumble
1:03:49
Good stuff. So
1:03:52
not giving point. Tye, don't you won't need to add a two
1:03:54
yard. Well, three and a half. I assume three and a
1:03:56
half is a -- No. -- yard. Oh,
1:03:58
yeah. He don't
1:04:00
know. You start talking about a
1:04:02
yard. A fantasy football. We need to
1:04:04
relax here. Real life football. Let's get them
1:04:06
off. We'll hear you about yards giving up.
1:04:09
everyone's gonna give up five thousand yards. We start
1:04:11
doing this fast football. Yeah. k. Maybe
1:04:13
that's why your team stinks. How about three
1:04:14
and out we get five points
1:04:17
or something? Five points. you don't know how
1:04:19
this works out. There you go. It's huge. You know, huge a three and out
1:04:21
is it's fucking massive bump. Absolutely. But that's
1:04:23
you also hate to get
1:04:25
the specialties points. you get a three
1:04:27
and out and then you get a punch and turn touched on. Boom. You got six points right
1:04:29
there. I'm just saying there should be a little bit more
1:04:31
reality in this fantasy if people really
1:04:33
wanna get there in
1:04:35
a rock song. Sure. Yeah. I agree. Hey. Look, I got the cold
1:04:38
defense. And no one's more pissed than me because they
1:04:40
are not playing well. So What's
1:04:42
that? Jonathan Taylor first overall,
1:04:45
your MVP guy stinks game going field. No. No. There's
1:04:47
no goddamn accountability it feels like,
1:04:49
but what is your problem there?
1:04:52
Look, we're talking about these quarterbacks,
1:04:54
you know, having a little trouble, adapting the
1:04:56
new teams, Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. The
1:04:58
whole line in the running back aren't adapting
1:05:02
the shit. fucking hand him the ball and run through the hole, but there aren't any
1:05:04
goddamn holes. It sucks. The city
1:05:06
sucks when the cold suck. Alright.
1:05:08
I'm sick
1:05:10
of it. My pacers get started somewhere. They fucking suck even
1:05:12
more. No. Yeah. No.
1:05:14
The pacers are not good. The guy hit the
1:05:16
envelope. No. They
1:05:18
are terrible. The guy hit the
1:05:20
animal exactly. I think they don't have a
1:05:22
guy. No. No. He just
1:05:24
started playing here. I think the
1:05:26
eleven's things too. No. They're eleven. They're good. And no one
1:05:28
gives a fuck about them anyways. No. They do.
1:05:30
They don't know how you say that. wanted, like,
1:05:32
three A fever. Yeah. Who the hell was
1:05:34
that? There're
1:05:36
seasons of Yeah. The VJ. Fever had six first round
1:05:38
picks. Oh, yeah. Oh, the eleven, you don't know
1:05:40
the fea you know who the fever are.
1:05:42
Yeah. Everybody does. But the eleven,
1:05:44

1:05:46
song. I'm about
1:05:48
to go all in on the goddamn Indian
1:05:50
power or whatever the hell it is. The
1:05:52
hockey team man. Fueled. Fueled.
1:05:55
They're all. actually getting a new arena. They're actually getting a new
1:05:57
arena, Bill. It's gonna be sweet. Right now, baby. Let's go
1:05:59
back. It's paying for that. Me probably.
1:06:01
It's actually Yeah.
1:06:04
The goddamn city. Oh. Oh, you're
1:06:06
happy. First spell. Yep.
1:06:08
First spell. touchy
1:06:10
grass seed. way to
1:06:11
save it. Big wave. That is the
1:06:13
same table from the other studio, though. So that thing
1:06:15
has been spilled on plenty of times. Truly can
1:06:18
torch it too. You might wanna. blocked
1:06:20
that shit. You want me to get that figured.
1:06:22
Alright. Let's talk about some stories. That was terrible.
1:06:24
So fancy football stories. I think
1:06:27
Mike Hockers and ninth
1:06:29
Hawkins and tenth, Paulie Walnut's
1:06:31
ponders and eleventh. Yeah. Stuff. On the lions,
1:06:33

1:06:35
MS points against. That's what that's
1:06:37
gonna happen. Yeah. He fucking go for it. And
1:06:39

I wanna say this. Bill

is a fucking hardworking good dude. Yeah.
1:08:41
He's dumb. The things you guys say
1:08:43
about him are rude. Okay? With
1:08:45
that being said, it does see seem
1:08:47
as if he does feed into it at at any chance in Boston. But
1:08:49
he certainly does not do himself any favors.
1:08:51
I've been meaning to ask you.
1:08:54
Love Bill. Bill has been an
1:08:56
adult he was four years old. He has. Sometimes

1:09:00
there. Clay

More, like, Drew Mac in time. You know, a Clay More Nine.
1:09:05
Yeah. Like, it blows up. Like Bill Kill

1:09:15
bombs in here. I thought you were gonna claim more, kick him
1:09:17
in the face. No.
1:09:19
I would actually Yeah. Today,
1:09:21
it's in the area. Oh,
1:09:23
one. Not But three clamor Oh, okay. Actually, it'd
1:09:27
be quite calculated. Maybe
1:09:29
get Andrew. Bill would eat that. And then Bill would choke you out, I think. But, anyways, yeah,
1:09:31
he's my own office back here, and
1:09:35
ESPN sent their satellite suburban. You
1:09:37
know, the
1:09:38
the satellite truck, the -- Yeah. -- it became a van and then it became
1:09:44
a Sprinter. And
1:09:44
then now they have satellite suburbans, which is great. But
1:09:46
nobody can sit inside of this suburb and with all the stuff in
1:09:48
it. So they had to bring all their
1:09:50
stuff basically in the bill's office. So there
1:09:52
is stuff in
1:09:54
Bill's office back there, but he still got good was clean rib skeletons.
1:09:56
I still got a
1:09:59
lot of there for I
1:10:02
guess that documentary it's not a documentary. I'm learning as I go here. But that series like,
1:10:05
the fourth
1:10:08
or fifth most watched time
1:10:10
in one week drop period in Netflix officially. Wow. Square game was
1:10:13
a big
1:10:16
one exotic Joe's You've created tires. QB
1:10:18
Halloween. Why do you think people love shit like that? Watch that last night, by the way, digs Bing
1:10:22
or QB Halloween?
1:10:24
dead series. Yeah. I was like, yeah. It was my kids
1:10:26
were it's like a Halloween movie. We we put up some decorations outside someone to do it. He'd be Halloween. You
1:10:29
know what? Not the
1:10:31
worst thing I've Thank you. We all agree.
1:10:34
We all agree. Tony doesn't. That's why he said it. But I think the reason
1:10:36
why people enjoy
1:10:38
it is because, like, You
1:10:41
know, it's
1:10:42
it's hard to fathom that that human exists. You know, like that just person's walking amongst
1:10:45
you. It's
1:10:48
like you we put people up on a pedestal because
1:10:50
they're doing things that we don't think we can do, and it's like, holy shit. This is some sort
1:10:52
of super human. And
1:10:54
when it's on the complete inside.
1:10:56
I think people are the same, like, in the hammer almost
1:10:58
by it. Mhmm. And I
1:10:59
think that's why everybody wants
1:11:00
to watch it. Just and I think
1:11:02
it's a good reminder, like, hey. people
1:11:05
like this exist. There's people there's motherfuckers out there that we're not gonna be able to fix. Like, as you're watching
1:11:07
this series who knows what's real
1:11:10
and what is it now
1:11:13
point, have you watched out the entirety of ADIJ
1:11:15
or no? Not all of it, but I know a story. I know he was drilling into people's foreheads creating zombies
1:11:17
and eating bodies
1:11:20
and everything. and driving them and
1:11:22
everything. Yeah. And he had bodies inside the walls of his house or whatever. But he was, you
1:11:24
know, opening up towards the end there of his
1:11:26
thing allegedly. I think
1:11:27
all of it's from his actual
1:11:31
transcript conversation. So I think it is what he's
1:11:33
saying. And, like, the things he's
1:11:35
saying is, like, have
1:11:37
you ever met somebody who's just,
1:11:39
like, And like,
1:11:40
his dad's trying to figure out
1:11:41
where it went wrong. His mom's trying to figure it
1:11:43
out, and he's like, I just this
1:11:45
is just how I am. Yeah. It's
1:11:47
just who I am. It's a
1:11:49
goddamn a human to just be created like that. Like, that is a good reminder. I think -- Yes. --
1:11:51
for all of us to kinda so I think that's why people watch
1:11:53
it. I think it's that type of thing
1:11:55
where it's like, can't
1:11:58
be real. But
1:11:59
also, you can see the argument in kinda
1:12:02
glamorizing this type of
1:12:03
thing too. because at the end,
1:12:05
he got, like, fans and shit people right
1:12:07
until making his life different given money. It's
1:12:09
like They always do, man. We can't
1:12:11
we listen. This cannot be
1:12:13
something that we think this is heal.
1:12:16
this is the worst heel of all time. This
1:12:18
is bad people. Can't have people fantasizing about the
1:12:20
whole thing. But when you watch it, it's hard
1:12:22
not to keep watch. It's a wild thing. It's
1:12:24
a wild thing as humans kinda go. Yeah. It's
1:12:26
scary. I mean, that's chilling. Like you said, especially, like, you know, when you start having kids and stuff, it's not even
1:12:28
matter. Like, you could do everything
1:12:30
right and your kid's still just
1:12:35
Like, that's just the way they
1:12:36
are. I think is I think there's certainly
1:12:38
some fuckups from the parents, but -- Sure. --
1:12:40
from what I've heard, like,
1:12:42
every parent fucks up, though. You know? Yeah. There's a
1:12:45
lot of horrendous parents out there and their kid doesn't turn into Jeffrey Dahm. So,
1:12:47
yeah, you never that's a scary about it. You never
1:12:49
really know. Hey, that's a motivator. They're right
1:12:51
if you have a kid. Mhmm.
1:12:53
Don't create a dormer. Yeah. And even I said that last week. Yeah. There it is. Yeah. because
1:12:55
other guys, I know we're watching. I hit you guys seat that. I
1:12:57
was like, man, I was watching some of it, and
1:13:00
I just I
1:13:02
think
1:13:02
I texted you guys. Yeah. It's an actual standard.
1:13:04
It's like when you raise a
1:13:07
domino, please. Fuck it. Alright.
1:13:08
there's
1:13:09
gotta be signs early on, though. Yeah. They kill animals. Yeah.
1:13:11
That's a piece of people. people. people like that. Yeah. Yeah. Some you say
1:13:13
a lot too. Say some nice people
1:13:15
beat that, you know, the
1:13:19
last important tools. You bully them on focus, but that's that
1:13:21
sometimes -- Yep. -- flips their switch
1:13:23
to Forever. Yeah. Oh,
1:13:25
hell yeah. Forever. Like,
1:13:27
sometimes people can't can't come back from hating everybody because of
1:13:29
how they get treated. Which isn't, hey, listen, that's not I don't think that's
1:13:31
a normal thing. I don't think that's a lot of
1:13:33
people, but I think there are people out there that
1:13:36
are like we should acknowledge
1:13:38
that those people exist. So maybe, you know, like, just, hey, how are you doing? You know? And then,
1:13:41
alright. Fucking weird
1:13:44
on that. Well, you know, you're gonna have
1:13:46
to be rude to the people, though. You know? It'll have to be rude to them. Just keep it inside. Just keep it moving.
1:13:49
You know?
1:13:52
Larry Hall. another series we just watched too.
1:13:54
Like, you'd learn about his childhood and the sequence of events, but also there is still that part
1:13:56
that felt like he
1:13:58
was kinda always
1:13:59
liked that Joanne Gaisy? Yep.
1:14:02
Yeah. They don't look at me. Thank you. No. The question is, when did they cross
1:14:03
the line? And
1:14:07
and actually, like, start killing people.
1:14:09
And then they just keep going, it seems like. Get older? God. I'm hoping with
1:14:11
the way modern world is
1:14:15
where,
1:14:15
like, everything is
1:14:18
documented. Yeah. Basically, you think, I
1:14:21
guess, there's still unsolved murders and stuff. There's
1:14:23
one here in
1:14:23
Indiana
1:14:25
that's insane. Me and Jim Murphy, I think
1:14:27
put up, like, fifty grand each for any tips.
1:14:29
Two girls were just murdered out in the middle
1:14:31
of a walkway in the middle of the woods in
1:14:33
a small town here in Indiana. Haven't found the person.
1:14:35
have a kind of a camera on him, but really see him. So I guess there's still
1:14:38
a chance that these people exist. And
1:14:41
they always say the stats like, hey, there's this money serial
1:14:43
killers walking around or whatever. I'm like,
1:14:46
I feel like everything right now
1:14:48
is
1:14:48
is captured based Yeah. But I
1:14:50
guess there's a lot of the place that isn't, and that's just
1:14:52
maybe a night. I guess there's places in the
1:14:54
woods and shit like that where things can happen. We
1:14:56
don't get it. But feel like we'd be on
1:14:58
to these motherfuckers earlier. Don't you think? I think it's a lot tougher to get away with anything now with all
1:15:00
the ring cams, the security cams they
1:15:02
can find, they can track back thirty
1:15:07
streets and see where your car was coming. Like, yeah. Hey. People to get
1:15:09
away with it. I don't know how you do. Well,
1:15:11
and also back in the day, they used to
1:15:13
track cell phones. And obviously, we have somebody
1:15:15
we know, but So if you watch a
1:15:17
date line, and it would just be able to put a triangle, like, they were
1:15:19
within this twenty
1:15:23
mile area here. if we had to get, yeah, we
1:15:25
got a ping here and then -- Mhmm. -- at one thirty p AM, we got a ping on this one so they
1:15:27
would have had to have
1:15:31
been in this area. Now it's like everything like, a located by the
1:15:33
way. There it is. We'll carve
1:15:35
it in. Alright.
1:15:38
Where's the Yeah. Yeah. A glove. You wanna
1:15:40
learn a lot. Watch criminal minds
1:15:42
there and auction. Fucking sixteen seasons
1:15:44
of fucking filled with serial
1:15:47
killer knowledge. Oh, yeah. even because
1:15:48
See, I don't wanna watch it that much.
1:15:50
I think I I think that's a dabbel situation. I think that's a dabbel. Okay. I get the
1:15:55
toxicity in my life. me get
1:15:56
back to watching you. Funny stuff. Football
1:15:58
and race. Did you watch a
1:15:59
loan on
1:16:02
Netflix? That's good? Mine, Hunter. Yeah. I tried to. That was the first
1:16:04
episode of the guy. Yep. Pardon me? I was,
1:16:06
alright. It seems to be a little bit
1:16:09
too serious. I gotta get into the right
1:16:11
right mind frame for that. But think worth a watch just because you're
1:16:14
like, oh, this is fascinating. Has
1:16:16
existed. Let's go
1:16:18
through some stuff, Von Miller.
1:16:20
Chitchatted about Kenny Pickett in his statements on
1:16:22
Von Miller's twitch stream last night. Von Miller, front
1:16:24
of the program, went
1:16:26
off beyond program going forward.
1:16:29
So what that What happened?
1:16:31
What Are weekly, that. What
1:16:32
whatever a theory about it i'm a week lose
1:16:34
muscle happened?
1:16:36
hi Is
1:16:37
everybody so negative? What's the reason why? It's because he can't be blunt. He
1:16:39
would be negative. Volumes are blunt. Yeah. It seems like
1:16:42
he loves. His powers would
1:16:44
be. Which powers
1:16:46
of powers? No. The bills try luck.
1:16:51
Bill loves
1:16:52
us. He
1:16:53
does have it. He does do his own show too.
1:16:55
Right? Yes. That's the thing. What's his own show? Never heard of
1:16:57
it. We do report. It's a
1:16:59
vancast. The vancast It's
1:17:02
a good podcast. Oh, it's on Bleacher Report?
1:17:04
Yes. Is
1:17:04
it? Anyways, nonetheless. They
1:17:07
well, I think he's
1:17:08
doing once a week before. power is
1:17:10
at b or Oh, listen. I did, but I
1:17:12
appreciate what you just said. But for whatever reason, they think
1:17:14
that is the right move for the business.
1:17:17
They hate us. Potentially. Well, I hate them. They could take shots
1:17:19
using hard to do it. Can't let yeah. Tell them, man, I don't wanna be
1:17:22
in gridiron hikes anymore.
1:17:25
know what? Fuck. Don't tell them. I'm honored. I was in grid iron
1:17:27
nights, to be honest with you. Like, like, no big deal. That's how
1:17:29
they feel their business smack him in the mouth. Yeah.
1:17:31
We gotta talk to
1:17:35
Lefco? No. Listen, he's
1:17:36
busy. He's back on NBA TNT,
1:17:38
killing it. Tuesday nights, he
1:17:42
does kill it. The
1:17:44
We move
1:17:44
on. That's what they thought that that was right for
1:17:47
business group for them. Vaughn Cass on Bleacher Report is his show. And I
1:17:49
think it was something that
1:17:51
he was maybe focusing Who
1:17:53
knows too much time? Maybe it wasn't Vaughn, I guess. But nonetheless, we appreciate the hell out
1:17:55
of Vaughn Miller. And got a chance to learn a little bit
1:17:57
more about his brain, how much he
1:18:00
respects football, and
1:18:02
everything like that in our conversations. Also, there's
1:18:05
chicken form -- Yeah. -- but
1:18:07
it's closed on everything
1:18:08
he's got going on. And he's
1:18:10
an after stunning. Supergrass. All that stuff.
1:18:12
And how he feels about, you know, some
1:18:14
chipblocks and everything. Yeah. It was great conversation. We
1:18:16
appreciate the hell out of luck. we know
1:18:18
he's a we do miss you. Miss
1:18:20
you've gone. We'll listen to the podcast. I'm going to
1:18:22
report so we can get our weekly dose
1:18:25
of
1:18:25
Von Miller's big old brain.
1:18:27
That's
1:18:28
right. I can't do it. Yeah. No. No. No.
1:18:30
No. You guys
1:18:31
can't do it. If he switches
1:18:33
these switches from
1:18:35
Bleacher Report maybe. No. No. No. No. Not until that.
1:18:37
It's ain't one of this. Anyways, he got
1:18:39
a chance to open up
1:18:41
a little bit about Kenny Pickett and what
1:18:43
Kenny Pickett said was basically, you know, something
1:18:45
about an honor dog in that whole thing.
1:18:47
In Von Miller live on his twitch,
1:18:49
twitch dot tv forward slash von Miller,
1:18:52
I believe. he got a little bit of
1:18:54
a promo and I enjoy listening von Miller talk about, not only the game, but the mentality
1:18:56
behind it. Here's
1:18:59
from von Miller's Twitch just
1:19:01
last evening about Kenny Pickett in his first start for the Pittsburgh Steelers
1:19:03
this weekend against Von Miller and Buffalo Bills defense. Everyone thinks
1:19:05
one hundred dogs, but
1:19:08
we
1:19:08
don't Who
1:19:10
thinks you are under the old bird? Like,
1:19:12
jeez. Kenny? I watch him
1:19:14
on twitch. Yeah. And somebody
1:19:16
said What? Stop it,
1:19:18
Kenny. Stop it, Kenny. Don't
1:19:24
don't try to get
1:19:26
crazy on us, man. We're just come in and play the game. Don't.
1:19:34
hey, why is he looking at the spread? Now what he
1:19:36
looks at the spread of a game? Like, if I'm
1:19:38
what he's looking at None of that. Like,
1:19:40
we we just getting ready to play the Steelersboro. Like,
1:19:42
So they always talk Don't try to get fake mad
1:19:44
at at at You know, don't
1:19:47
try to get crazy with
1:19:49
us, man. Nobody thinks your own dogs.
1:19:52
Can he, like, no. No. This is
1:19:54
no. This
1:19:55
you you're trying to no.
1:19:57
Don't do it. No.
1:19:59
Don't do it. Stop it,
1:20:02
man. Bye.
1:20:02
I I think the thing about
1:20:04
it is he wanted to make sure can you pick a
1:20:06
new hey. We have respect for you.
1:20:09
Okay? Mhmm. It's just because everybody else is saying, don't fucking listen. This ain't
1:20:11
coming from us at all, which I appreciate. I do like
1:20:14
the fact though that like Dick
1:20:16
said in the middle of
1:20:18
that, Tom one certainly uses
1:20:21
the spread. You guys are
1:20:23
fourteen point underdogs, largest point spread
1:20:25
for his Steelers team in, like, twenty years or something like that. He
1:20:27
says the merger. Right? Yes. He says the merger of the league.
1:20:29
So Tom was definitely letting
1:20:31
him know that. Vaughn Miller's like,
1:20:33
well, just listen, sportsbooks can say what they want. Everybody else say, they didn't come from us. I think that's what he was saying. Is that what you got
1:20:35
out of that age? Yeah. And I think a lot of their
1:20:37
games that the Bills go into, they're gonna be the
1:20:40
favorite,
1:20:40
like, not
1:20:43
looking at the spread. They don't care. Like, they really don't. I think for the
1:20:45
most part, maybe it's different now. I don't teams
1:20:47
don't really players,
1:20:48
coaches, maybe if it's a
1:20:50
gigantic spread, could use as motivation
1:20:53
But normally, I don't think week to week
1:20:55
players care that much. So I'm I'm intrigued on how it turns over because it wasn't about at
1:21:00
all in in
1:21:00
any of the conversations I
1:21:03
had. Now there was other potential, you know, situation where money was
1:21:05
being wagered on
1:21:08
things. Sure.
1:21:08
day. Not
1:21:11
involving sport. No. Emoving
1:21:14
skill.
1:21:14
k. Mhmm. Oh,
1:21:16
yeah. That's
1:21:17
the Yeah. Cornell is a sport, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Dan Deere.
1:21:19
He was almost professional,
1:21:22
but
1:21:23
there was just just a
1:21:25
graphic. But nonetheless, nobody wants to be the Pete Rose of football. Okay? And
1:21:27
it's not even something that even enters into the world.
1:21:29
Fantasy football does because
1:21:32
people say, hey, you are
1:21:34
a room on Fantasy Team. Some guys, I think even play Fantasy Football, but that shit wasn't talked about whenever I was having
1:21:39
conversations around the locker and deep, but you
1:21:41
could see how that could be motivation, though, as the world continues to evolve in a sports book world, do you think?
1:21:43
Or is that just something that whenever it's
1:21:46
the biggest in the history of the
1:21:48
team, And it's
1:21:50
gonna be something that's gonna get brought up by Mike Tom. Yeah.
1:21:52
Maybe as a as a one off, like in this situation. But
1:21:54
like you guys said, that was something we never talked about because
1:21:56
we know of that shit matters. So I can
1:21:59
Add recorders. None of that shit matters when you go out there and play play the game and stillers. Like, you
1:22:01
never take the stillers lightly,
1:22:03
but Mike Tomlin coached okay,
1:22:07
who's trying out there and playing for him? I remember, you know,
1:22:09
I grew up around a lot of Italians
1:22:11
and as we got
1:22:13
order, there were some Italian friends that were
1:22:16
doing, you know, some sports gambling before
1:22:18
it was legalized here in the United
1:22:20
States in a certain amount of states. And
1:22:22
I was always so fascinated whenever I would
1:22:24
talk to him about it because I was, at that time,
1:22:26
college kicker and punner. k? So kicking definitely matters. Punning
1:22:30
an actual
1:22:31
football does matter even though the the people
1:22:33
that are betting probably don't know that. And I'm like, I
1:22:35
have no idea how the fuck
1:22:37
I'm gonna do this weekend. You know? Like,
1:22:39
I have I I seemed at the ballpark. is
1:22:40
coaches don't know. I just don't know what team's
1:22:42
gonna be out there. So I think that also adds
1:22:44
into the thought to what
1:22:46
De Bott was saying like. It's hard to
1:22:48
take sports gambling serious whenever you have no fucking idea
1:22:51
how you're gonna perform. Now, I'm sure there's
1:22:53
guys that are just like,
1:22:55
yeah, I'm gonna have two hundred yards, ten
1:22:57
catches, four touchdowns every single day, and I like that type of optimism.
1:22:59
But if that person wants to get real, it's like, oh,
1:23:01
this week, I might be not as many targets, I might
1:23:03
not do that. It's
1:23:06
a whole I think that's an interesting part
1:23:08
of retiring from the NFL and
1:23:10
then wanting to still, you know,
1:23:13
kind of feel involved in the NFL
1:23:15
and then starting to bet on the NFL, bring in that competitive
1:23:17
juice. And now it's like almost perfect
1:23:19
for retired guys. But whenever you're in
1:23:21
it, it's never really brought up. That's
1:23:23
why the Ridley thing. was so surprising. So
1:23:25
I think it was surprising to a lot of us because it's like when and now
1:23:27
granted, I don't know what the modern locker rooms
1:23:29
like because we're not in there
1:23:31
since it's been you know,
1:23:33
legalized in states or whatever, but that shit was never talked about, I think. Everybody's worried to
1:23:35
get fucking canceled on this from their entire career. Yeah.
1:23:38
That was just that was the thing too. They
1:23:40
were in,
1:23:43
you know, the guys that would talk about, you know, sports betting and
1:23:45
things that went on behind the scenes. And
1:23:47
then that was, like, those are
1:23:49
more inflated bet on games
1:23:51
and it were. takes their voices and shit.
1:23:53
You know what I mean? So these last five years, I've been out going on five years
1:23:55
now. I'm sure
1:23:58
it's changed a lot. with all the sports books, all the I think you got your
1:24:01
cardinals have a sports book in the stadium. Yeah. Yeah.
1:24:03
I think it's Randall. Yeah.
1:24:06
So Yeah. There is much more in their day to
1:24:08
day life now. So Mhmm. And probably
1:24:10
probably talk about them more now. You're
1:24:13
going five years retired? Congratulations to your insurance,
1:24:16
Mario. Yeah, man. One more year. Thank
1:24:18
you, Nippu. Thank you for the five
1:24:20
years. That should
1:24:22
be lifetime. One of these insurance is to
1:24:24
just step up and become the lifetime insurance partner of the
1:24:26
NFL As a smart An easy marketing ploy.
1:24:29
It's a massive piece of conversation between the NFLPA and retired players because
1:24:31
retired players tell the NFLPA to go fuck themselves because
1:24:33
it seems like they don't take care
1:24:35
of retired players. and
1:24:38
every player in the league doesn't fully understand that you're gonna be a
1:24:41
retired player someday. Mhmm. So everything that's happening for
1:24:43
retired players that you're voting on right now
1:24:45
is who you are gonna be some
1:24:47
day one hundred percent of are gonna be that.
1:24:49
So there's, like, kind of, a joust game going on between active NFL.
1:24:51
Like, yeah, we're here. We're doing this. Let's worry about
1:24:54
us. And then also, like, Oh,
1:24:56
us, though, also gonna be this group of guys. Who I'm very lucky and
1:24:58
very fortunate to be where I'm at in my life, but a lot of guys don't
1:25:00
necessarily have that
1:25:03
type of thing happen. That's why documentaries take
1:25:05
place where eighty percent of guys are broke and eighty percent of this, they don't
1:25:07
have health insurance. It's like, at some point, there
1:25:10
has to be some answer. And I actually pitched this at a what
1:25:12
does that call? Where do I sit in
1:25:14
a circle? Sound it? No. It's
1:25:17
actual circle, like,
1:25:20
around powwow. roundtable trip? No. It wasn't a fire it
1:25:22
was, like,
1:25:22
a town hall. Yes. It's called something. It was
1:25:24
one Where are you with? Like AGG
1:25:26
twenty something. The commission was in there. conference.
1:25:30
The commission Was it when he came to visit you
1:25:32
guys? No. Was it the draft? Is that the draft
1:25:34
when I was making the draft conference? Like
1:25:37
an Illuminati meeting. what you're talking about. That's what it
1:25:39
sounds like. That's what you're trying to make it sound
1:25:41
like. No. It it's a it's a Was
1:25:43
a bomber there too? Size watch
1:25:45
I'll sleep on bury y'all. There was
1:25:47
no president, sir. There was no masters. There's no fuckery.
1:25:50
k. It was just a discussion. Sounds like good time,
1:25:52
bro. Well,
1:25:54
it actually got pretty intense in there.
1:25:56
Was Steve Jobs there? Steve Jobs there. It was only
1:25:58
NFL associated with people. one only. ways
1:25:59
of then. Well,
1:26:02
he was not there at all at that time. But
1:26:04
I this Bill Gates. I
1:26:05
don't think he would have been in this
1:26:07
one. Anyways, Bill Gates
1:26:09
was not there. Service Pro. Service. Service. I thought Zeno
1:26:11
did research on what the name of the meeting was that he turns
1:26:13
out he was just talking about pool party
1:26:16
share. Steve
1:26:19
Palmer. he was not there. He's there. Yeah. Nonetheless, we can see you
1:26:21
you guys can keep, you know, thinking of
1:26:23
people. I'm assuming they're not gonna be
1:26:25
there. But maybe in my recollection of
1:26:27
the day, papa, might be
1:26:29
there. Schneider was not there or whatever. Demoris Smith. He was not there either. This was just
1:26:32
that's why
1:26:33
it was
1:26:36
interesting though. It was like NFL
1:26:38
talking to NFL alumni and NFL legends that were doing the draft picks. Troy
1:26:40
Vincent was in there,
1:26:42
Roger Goodell was in there,
1:26:46
I forget who Wilson then there was, like, twenty
1:26:48
guys kinda sitting in a it
1:26:50
was supposed to be, like, a casual discussion,
1:26:52
I think, is how it was supposed be
1:26:54
like a roundtable discussion almost like, hey, let's just talk.
1:26:57
And at picking where I sat was
1:26:59
I was by
1:27:00
far the youngest person in there
1:27:03
and shouldn't have been there. Now I would
1:27:05
go on to do the draft thing that night after reggie
1:27:07
Wayne burries the titans I go do that. So that day was a wild day for sure.
1:27:09
But they were talking about a
1:27:11
lot of different issues retired
1:27:14
players and Gerdau and how they can do things differently. And, you know, it was like, I wanna hear. I wanna hear
1:27:16
stuff. Taking notes,
1:27:19
there's actual notes happening. he
1:27:22
had a top button, unbuttoned --
1:27:24
Oh, casual. -- casual. I think
1:27:26
one point, leg cross -- Wow.
1:27:28
-- sitting back like that.
1:27:30
Like, I since I wasn't really felt comfortable to speak.
1:27:32
Just doing a lot of listening and
1:27:35
watching and just like, oh,
1:27:37
how's this thing going? slater's dad
1:27:40
was in there, Jackie Slater. Jackie Slater was in there.
1:27:42
He was I think he had been in a
1:27:44
couple of years before. because
1:27:46
he was very comfortable. Like in the things he was saying, I was like, okay, sounds like somebody is experiencing something I
1:27:48
might experience ten, fifteen years from
1:27:50
now or friends of mine might experience
1:27:55
and he seems to have taken in. Roger seemed to be
1:27:57
very responding to it. Troy did
1:27:59
some
1:27:59
speaking too,
1:28:02
very positive. And then there was, like, an altercation that took place about
1:28:04
insurance. Like, it got, like, there was, like, a
1:28:06
lot of people that were, like, chiming in
1:28:08
on that one. It felt, like, that meeting was
1:28:10
coming to an end. At the time, we all kind of
1:28:12
felt that it was coming to an end. One person brought up this subject of
1:28:14
insurance, and then, like, three, four, you know, became, like, And
1:28:19
I was like, oh, alright, like a team. If and felt like, oh, here we go. Like, alright.
1:28:21
Now, this is what we came for almost. It
1:28:23
feels like and
1:28:26
Raju Patel had an incredible answer. answered it, said figure but the
1:28:28
NFLPA is the one that's kind
1:28:31
of taken over the insurance benefits
1:28:35
and everything like that. Like, they're the ones taking care of the
1:28:37
benefits and what the raise money for and
1:28:39
five years insurance for
1:28:41
invested players and everything and the NFL is a part of the matching
1:28:43
of the 401 k's. But the NFLPA, I think, has
1:28:45
always been the ones that have been fighting for the
1:28:47
insurance and for everything like that. So as
1:28:50
that was all going on and the NFLPA has got a lot in their hands, I mean, I would not wanna do that job.
1:28:52
I would never do
1:28:54
that job. So it's
1:28:57
It's hard for me to completely judge it because I haven't
1:28:59
been in there, but outside looking in, they probably fucked up some things. And I spoke up for first time ever at the
1:29:01
end of it, like at the very
1:29:03
end of it. I
1:29:06
said don't we think that one of these insurance companies that sponsors the league, which there is plenty. see
1:29:08
their commercials all
1:29:11
the goddamn time. If
1:29:14
I see mister mayhem, who I'm a big fan of? Yeah. I'm a big fan of mayhem. Like, I think he hilarious. I think are good concepts.
1:29:19
Isn't there some a insurance company
1:29:21
that we could easily, like, bundle a deal with the NFL to also take care of retired players insurance
1:29:23
for, like, life whatever. Now
1:29:27
I know that's gonna be a big deal, but can't
1:29:29
we somehow work that type of deal? Or in the next deal, the next CBA, can't you put it something? I
1:29:31
feel like this is an easy
1:29:33
marketing fix or whatever. And
1:29:36
I got the reaction was
1:29:38
fantastic. It was Oh, yeah. Maybe yeah. It's a good
1:29:40
point. We'll write that down,
1:29:42
and then maybe it was Yeah.
1:29:45
So now, like, five now that I would took a couple years later, I would like to revisit that. Like,
1:29:47
I think that
1:29:52
is think they're saying there's too many old
1:29:54
like, if they try like, there's too many old players that they instantly have to get lifetime insurance, like,
1:29:56
all those old guys and
1:29:58
then everyone that continues to,
1:29:59
you know, you're
1:30:02
vested and then all of a sudden you're retired or you're out of
1:30:04
the league. Yeah. We're like fifteen, twenty years, you
1:30:06
know, like like or five years I'm
1:30:09
with you. Five years, guys' bodies are still kinda
1:30:11
keeping up. Yeah. Then, you know, half it's almost like it's it
1:30:13
was almost done, like, as a strategy. Like, they
1:30:15
have the stats. Like, after
1:30:17
five years, It's real it's almost like that that's
1:30:19
kinda how it feels, I think, as a by the
1:30:21
way, I don't this is not for me. I'm just
1:30:23
talking about for all my friends, basically.
1:30:25
that I'm kinda watch go through this, there has to be some insurance that has so much
1:30:27
fucking money in the insurance business. There has to be
1:30:30
some sort of bundle ten year
1:30:34
fifteen here just a little bit more, but we're
1:30:36
talking about former NFL players and everybody says
1:30:38
they're spoiled anyway. So I just think that is
1:30:40
something that could take place in the NFL. Well, in
1:30:43
the same way they have sportsbooks. So, right? Like,
1:30:45
they have multiple sportsbooks that sponsor the league. Can't
1:30:47
they have multiple, like, insurance? They
1:30:49
do. They do.
1:30:52
They do. Oh, yeah. I think a flow
1:30:54
So can they basically state state farm? Could they do time periods with each
1:30:56
different insurance? Ten years.
1:30:58
Ten years. Ten years. Yeah.
1:31:02
it's a thirty year total. And then you can get
1:31:04
commercials from the guys who are in that
1:31:06
bracket -- Mhmm. -- for sure. That's easy content
1:31:08
to be made too, and it's all like, goodwill.
1:31:10
Right? Isn't it age? I think this is goodwill taken
1:31:12
care of old stars? I mean, it sounds like
1:31:14
a pretty good plan. I just you know,
1:31:16
they're all about money. So if they can find a
1:31:18
way to do it and still make their money. They'll do companies too. The
1:31:20
greediest of the greedy corporate fat cast.
1:31:22
True. True. True. They don't want a
1:31:25
bunch of broken
1:31:25
down NFL guys with tons of
1:31:28
issues too. when I assume Well, that's the
1:31:30
problem, though. It's sometimes it's hard for guys to find insurance because, like, the insure some insurance won't take them when it's the
1:31:32
only insurance that they can
1:31:34
really qualify. It's like a very
1:31:37
pick and choose. You need to have it, but
1:31:39
also pick and choose. And I'm not into an entire insurance discussion, but I'm about the retired guys. What I have
1:31:41
seen happen, I don't know the
1:31:43
full conversation enough don't
1:31:47
know how many people. But if you get vested guys, I mean, there's
1:31:49
there's a number of those guys. And even the
1:31:51
the benefits, like, the line of duty
1:31:54
and the disability stuff, like, they make
1:31:56
it so difficult for players to get
1:31:58
that type of stuff to the point where you have to I I know friends who have had
1:31:59
eight, nine surgeries.
1:32:02
They've been on IR
1:32:04
mode times and they still gotta
1:32:06
go hire a lawyer and get the benefits and then, you know, pay the
1:32:07
lawyer thirty, forty grand after he get it. And it's
1:32:09
like, well, if this if if
1:32:12
you played seven
1:32:14
five years in NFL, you should sign a paper,
1:32:16
hand it in, and then that should start the
1:32:19
process. because if you play five years,
1:32:21
you play ten years, you play however long
1:32:23
you've dealt with significant injuries. You know what I
1:32:25
mean? So And also you gotta get through,
1:32:27
like, multiple doctors right here. It's like
1:32:29
an it's it's almost one
1:32:31
of those process like, you win you win rewards
1:32:33
if you It is. It is. It is. It is. It
1:32:35
is. Now granted do it.
1:32:38
Right? Like, hey. Do it. but
1:32:40
also there's a reason that a lot of different companies
1:32:42
use that style of thing because normally a lot of people
1:32:44
do not have the stamina to go through
1:32:46
all of the bullshit to do it.
1:32:50
should. People should. Listen. Fuck it and
1:32:52
do it. But that's not even talking about just standard
1:32:54
insurance. That's all the other stuff. It should come
1:32:56
alongside of it all. Well, and I assume when
1:32:58
you guys retired like if they don't have the NFL insurance anymore, the premiums
1:33:00
are so high four points. Yeah. And the
1:33:02
NFL that it's like, well, fuck. I
1:33:04
mean, you know, if you're not getting
1:33:07
an NFL salary anymore, like, might
1:33:09
be a lot harder to justify, you know, paying those insane premiums because you
1:33:11
did play in the league. Let's assume
1:33:16
Yeah.
1:33:16
Maybe stay informed. Yeah. Good.
1:33:18
Hey. Progressive. Yeah. Farm all stays worldwide.
1:33:23
All of on your State Farm had a
1:33:25
great run on the show. What's that, pal? State Farm had a good run here, didn't they?
1:33:27
Dude, I actually right before
1:33:30
I said that sentence, I
1:33:32
saw the little toolbox -- Yeah. --
1:33:34
that they gave it right to my like, in my head, I was like, what was that company? And then I
1:33:36
looked and I saw
1:33:37
the fucking State Farm amongst
1:33:39
people in us. They
1:33:43
did not enjoy our read. No. One show made
1:33:45
one, two shows? Two. One. No. No. It
1:33:47
was two. One, decided
1:33:49
that it was over. Right. We'll read this one for him. Yep.
1:33:51
Okay. And in the middle of it,
1:33:54
it announced. This
1:33:55
would last It
1:33:57
wasn't really safe farm either. It was like the fucking
1:33:59
group. It's the ad agencies. Yeah. Which
1:34:01
is another full conversation we could
1:34:03
have. Yeah. Not I'd be pissed
1:34:05
if I was stayed farmed then. What's that?
1:34:07
You said the ad agency had an
1:34:09
issue with the REEDs. Right? Or what whatever was
1:34:11
going with the bugle boys?
1:34:13
Yeah. State Farm, though, doesn't no, dude. This is another
1:34:15
whole digital if we're gonna if we're
1:34:18
gonna dive into this conversation, I mean,
1:34:20
middle of an
1:34:22
incredible Thursday One fifty six Eastern Standard. I'm
1:34:24
not here. I'm not here. I'm not here. I
1:34:26
think it was a good conversation to happen because
1:34:28
a lot of people are trying to get in
1:34:30
here. It's
1:34:31
like you had the businesses that you are selling for
1:34:32
rarely know, not not rarely. I mean, you can
1:34:34
get to a point where you know them.
1:34:36
But they have no idea. They're just
1:34:38
looking for results from an adding if
1:34:40
the ad agency doesn't get the results, then they'll go to a different
1:34:42
ad agency. And the ad agency over here is gonna do same things, the things the same
1:34:45
exact way as this, and there's
1:34:47
gonna pass companies around, basically. and
1:34:50
they're the ones that are in charge of how many
1:34:52
reads you get, what how much the how
1:34:54
much you're getting paid for. And in charge is
1:34:56
an interesting thing, but they're the ones negotiating, you
1:34:58
know, They're the ones deciding whether or not it's good or not good.
1:35:01
They're right in the read. They're pretty
1:35:03
much in control of your
1:35:05
part of your show. Right? Because they are
1:35:07
buying for time in your show. Now, there's been
1:35:09
a lot of people in the past that
1:35:11
have made their reads a lot
1:35:13
better because they're speaking to an audience that
1:35:16
they created. It's not a
1:35:18
network that has audience already.
1:35:20
The people that are reading these
1:35:22
commercials are actually the people that built the fucking
1:35:24
audience that is there. So,
1:35:26
you know, some places are smart
1:35:28
and say, hey, make a thing
1:35:30
your own. Some places can't do that because they're
1:35:32
the smartest people on earth, because
1:35:34
they read a book fifteen years
1:35:37
ago in marketing and advertising that
1:35:40
makes it a read this. So that's why
1:35:42
some of those bigger companies have yet to
1:35:45
really dive into the digital space because
1:35:47
the ad agencies kind of also behind
1:35:49
the times, and it doesn't necessarily work
1:35:51
as well, if that
1:35:54
makes sense. It does
1:35:54
make sense. A lot of power these adage agencies
1:35:57
have though. Like, if they all
1:35:59
these monster corporations trust them, you
1:36:01
gotta trust that they this
1:36:03
adage agency knows, like, they know exactly where they're
1:36:05
they're going to to market what your product is. That's a thing though. If you're
1:36:07
an ad agency and
1:36:10
you're gonna have bring on a sponsor to a show. You would think you've watched
1:36:12
a few hours
1:36:13
of that show. Right? You know what what they
1:36:15
What it is? No. Wait. They just
1:36:17
see the number. They see the
1:36:20
number of whatever they
1:36:22
think, whatever, somehow, however they find out. Very rarely, is there any research actually
1:36:24
done? Now, I'm
1:36:27
I'm gonna say never. because
1:36:29
I
1:36:29
think there is probably good people in the ad agencies. There's gonna be some young interns and say, like,
1:36:31
hey, let me let me help you with this. If you're doing for this
1:36:33
show, someone's like a fan of whatever show they
1:36:35
may be going Exactly.
1:36:38
I think some are good. I think there's some
1:36:40
places that are probably good. With that being
1:36:42
said, majority are not. Majority are very
1:36:45
terrible. But yeah, I think there
1:36:47
is some research done by in some companies.
1:36:49
But if you're getting into the digital space, dealing with the
1:36:51
ad agencies is a necessity at the beginning of your career
1:36:53
because you're going to have to have it, you're going to
1:36:55
have to do it, or you're
1:36:58
with a company that's dealing with it. very whenever Barstole
1:37:00
folks. Like, watching how that
1:37:02
whole thing pans out. Like, Barstow
1:37:07
Way's an academy on a University of the Internet,
1:37:09
which is what the plan was all along. It
1:37:11
ended a little shorter than I think
1:37:13
we all thought it was gonna go. And
1:37:15
congrats the bus and with the boy another two years. I got
1:37:17
out of my love for the
1:37:20
folks over
1:37:22
there. Now granted we do things differently than they do, both
1:37:24
on air and off air, but getting to
1:37:26
learn from them is a very, very
1:37:28
good thing. But those
1:37:31
ad agencies are real I mean, they can
1:37:33
be a real kick in the dick. because you start thinking that you're performing
1:37:35
for these people. You're not. These people stink. These
1:37:39
people stink. Now always put over the business that
1:37:41
you're is investing in your show. I think
1:37:43
you should put them over more than
1:37:45
they pay you for. You should
1:37:47
be very thankful for them giving you
1:37:49
an opportunity. You should always make them look as good as possible because they're investing in you. You should
1:37:51
try their product. You should know the product. You
1:37:53
should it makes you just better with
1:37:56
all that. but
1:37:58
also with that being said, adding
1:37:59
agencies that don't let people do things
1:38:02
in their own voice are essentially trying
1:38:05
to buy radio ads Right. And
1:38:07
those
1:38:07
don't work. No. In podcast. It's
1:38:09
just not something that works in digital ever.
1:38:11
No. They don't understand that if you just
1:38:13
let people do their own thing and they come up
1:38:15
with it organically, then they're gonna put the product
1:38:18
over way more than they would have if
1:38:20
you're just reading some cookie cutter bullshit,
1:38:22
thirty second spot where it's like, hey, we let's
1:38:24
just get through this and then we'll move on. But
1:38:26
to be clear at the beginning, you can't act like that.
1:38:28
No. You gotta be who you can afford to be.
1:38:30
Right. gotta be who you can afford to be there. You gotta play the game.
1:38:32
You gotta play the game a little bit. Sometimes
1:38:34
you gotta, you know, that's my c k's
1:38:37
been so awesome. Mhmm.
1:38:39
Ticket Studge, the
1:38:40

1:38:55
good
1:38:55
by us. Yeah. That's good. Review. And he does that with
1:38:57
everybody, you know, because he was a younger
1:38:59
ad agent, basically. And he had to figure
1:39:01
it out if he was his basketball, not
1:39:03
having a promo for a baby

1:40:52
Friday, you and I were hanging out. just
1:40:54
talking
1:40:54
about the show and different things. You saw me kind of looking over at the in my iPad, watching the live streaming out
1:40:59
of Louisville, and Chay is gonna make
1:41:01
his first start as a sophomore that A. J. gets in, it's saying, except playing LaSalle, and he's
1:41:04

1:41:09
over to Lawrence to see you, meetings,
1:41:11
taper show, over Cincinnati, watch Chase, then back to
1:41:13
Lawrence, and then up
1:41:15
to East Lansing after
1:41:18
game day. Hi. Here we go. Wow. Yeah.
1:41:20
It was cool to see you be
1:41:22
dead there. Obviously, with Jake on the road,
1:41:24
we know Jake here. He was a intern
1:41:27
for us. He started out real bad. Real bad. I mean, one of
1:41:29
the worst, you know, in terms of the history
1:41:31
of interning of all time. Mhmm. Took
1:41:33
seventeen days off at one point.
1:41:35
But the last two months he
1:41:37
was working with us in the middle of his college summer. He
1:41:39
was awesome. Yeah. Mhmm. One of the hardest lessons I've ever seen. No. No. Not
1:41:42
that awesome. Actually, incredible. Actually,
1:41:44
incredible. worked
1:41:46
his ass off, learned quickly. He's been on the
1:41:49
road working alongside of you. I love seeing
1:41:51
that. I also love getting a chance to
1:41:53
watch you, be a dad, watch your kid
1:41:55
play because we're just chitchatting to learn about each
1:41:57
other in the game and everything like that as we're taking on this season.
1:41:59
And I'm very lucky to do it with Kirk weekly alongside
1:42:01
him on on Game Day.
1:42:03
He's a legend. but
1:42:06
he didn't watch and his kid play first half the team. What St. X is the name of the school that on?
1:42:09
Yeah. Yep. First
1:42:12
half. Okay? His
1:42:14
kid's a backup quarterback. Mhmm. His
1:42:17
team. Thanks. Saying it. k? And
1:42:19
they said, high school kids shouldn't
1:42:21
be saying that. whatever they were doing, they
1:42:23
were not playing well. And Kirk was being super
1:42:25
positive, born for the guy, but everyone's about
1:42:27
a mid conversation. I'd see him just
1:42:29
like stared his iPad, trying to get lost,
1:42:31
and then come back. I'm like, what's happening in the game? He's like, our boys are gonna beat a little bit. I I
1:42:33
don't think we got it first down yet or whatever. I'm like,
1:42:36
your your
1:42:38
kids are back quarter back. And he's like, yeah. He got to play a little bit last week or whatever.
1:42:40
I'm like, put the fucking kid in the game. He got a
1:42:42
hamstring put the kid in the game. He was like, you
1:42:44
were very much like, no. No.
1:42:46
No. No. No. That's like, listen. my
1:42:48
kid's got to earn it. Like, he's getting to learn a lot
1:42:50
about Blue collar Kirk care. And I think it's all in his book too, like, this is a
1:42:52
fucking good dude. But when your kid got a chance
1:42:55
to go in the game, watch and
1:42:58
you hey. He started. We're talking pacing around
1:43:00
the hotel. Oh, yeah. We're talking, like, it was
1:43:02
a it's a big fucking I'm pumped for
1:43:04
you, man. I'm excited for you, I'm excited for your
1:43:07
kid. Your travel schedule sounds terrible. It's been awesome getting to know you.
1:43:09
Now let's talk about it, though. Tonight, there's a
1:43:11
night football in Denver, thin
1:43:13
air, you're gonna be alright there. Are you doing any training for
1:43:15
the for the altitude at all, Kirk? And how
1:43:18
about Brian. I'm I'm trying, man. Plus,
1:43:20
I'm I'm pulling a head cold here. So
1:43:22
I may I may -- No. -- know
1:43:24
my best didn't survive. -- carcass.
1:43:26
We can't have that right now. Oh, no. No.
1:43:29
I know. So
1:43:32
I'm gonna I'm
1:43:32
gonna get you know, hopefully, there'll be elevator to get me up
1:43:34
to the press box and not stairs, but I'm I'm fired up to watch this game. You know, what's great about
1:43:37
this game is, you know, the
1:43:39
last few weeks we've
1:43:40
had high
1:43:42
profile players, high profile games. I'm gonna
1:43:44
be looking at this game in August and thinking, you
1:43:46
know, you
1:43:47
go through the whole scheduling here, and I'm like,
1:43:49
man, I'm
1:43:49
looking forward to Endy, you know, going
1:43:51
on the we got Ryan, got and teams be humming by then. And
1:43:53
now
1:43:53
here we are, you know.
1:43:56
And both teams
1:43:59
are still
1:43:59
trying to figure things out. It's it's almost like
1:44:02
they're looking in in a mirror at one another
1:44:04
because you have
1:44:06
these high profile quarterbacks both offensive lines are struggling.
1:44:08
The continuity just isn't there.
1:44:10
I think both quarterbacks are
1:44:13
still learning their receivers. So
1:44:15
We're used to them just executing flawlessly. And now they're they're kinda
1:44:17
unsure and they're they're holding
1:44:19
the ball a little bit.
1:44:22
The coats are or or, you know, I know you guys follow them. They're
1:44:24
they're trying to find a running game and
1:44:26
how
1:44:26
JT's not playing. Well, so I
1:44:29
don't know, man. There there
1:44:31
there's a lot I'm excited to see
1:44:33
who finds their rhythm tonight. There there's a lot on the line for both these teams even though it's early in the
1:44:36
year. We think
1:44:38
so to a guy,
1:44:40
AJ. Kurt, what do
1:44:41
you expect to see from Denver's offense? We know Russ, it's kinda been,
1:44:43
like, bit of a weird year so far up and down. I would
1:44:45
imagine this would be a great, like,
1:44:47
coming out party for Russ and
1:44:50
the head coach Hackett to to kinda put it all together for four quarters. You know, he he Hackett with yesterday.
1:44:52
He brought
1:44:53
something up this
1:44:56
really interesting talked
1:44:58
about when he initially went over to Green Bay to work with with Aaron. You know, there there was of honeymoon
1:45:00
period where they were
1:45:03
just trying to find their
1:45:06
rhythm with with what they were doing with
1:45:08
the floor and and Aaron and when Hackett brought
1:45:10
in, everybody had a little bit of a
1:45:12
different thing and it took them some time
1:45:15
actually in the next years where they really started to take off and
1:45:17
kind of find their system. And now here they are
1:45:19
with Ross who's been doing
1:45:21
this thing in Seattle all these years. hacking is bringing in
1:45:23
what they've been doing in Green Bay. So they're
1:45:26
still trying to find the system.
1:45:28
So AJ, you can
1:45:30
appreciate this.
1:45:31
Not only is is
1:45:32
is, you know, your quarterback trying to find that rhythm with
1:45:35
the receivers. But Russ is usually he's got DK that he
1:45:37
can always get win in doubt and just
1:45:39
throw it to DK. Yeah. and
1:45:42
they don't have that now. You got receivers
1:45:44
he doesn't quite know in a system
1:45:46
that he's not quite comfortable with. And
1:45:48
so I I think it's a work
1:45:50
in progress right now, and and I think we'll find out if they can get it going.
1:45:52
I don't think it's just a coming out party
1:45:54
right now. This is a this is an
1:45:57
offense. It's just gonna have
1:45:59
to
1:45:59
get first downs run the
1:46:01
football. Their dead last in the league in Red Zone.
1:46:04
And so Gus Bradley is
1:46:06
gonna say, we're gonna
1:46:07
keep everybody back None
1:46:10
of those beautiful Russell Wilson
1:46:12
bombs, those moon shots, make them
1:46:15
drive the ball, and then
1:46:17
x acute the red zone, which they've not been
1:46:19
able to do all year. So I don't know, man. I I don't know if this is a nightmare. It's gonna be coming out
1:46:20
party at all.
1:46:23
So the under. Sounds like
1:46:26
Yeah. Actually, love it. And then you just said, right now, you just told us that that's the play. We should
1:46:28
think about that
1:46:31
as we go forward. Interestingly,
1:46:33
think about the concept, though, of yesterday we had Michael Lombardi
1:46:35
on who everybody knows in football
1:46:37
because he's been around for
1:46:40
so long. And
1:46:42
he said Ross is a short order cook.
1:46:44
Yeah. Yeah. He said he said let him cook. It's
1:46:46
a short order cook or whatever. That could potentially
1:46:48
be because he's not as
1:46:50
comfortable in this offense as he was. When you're cooking in the Seattle offense, whatever it was, if he had cut
1:46:53
some familiarity
1:46:56
with it, he knows when he can go
1:46:58
off script, where he where he can go, who's gonna be where? So the more he can get comfortable with where
1:47:01
he's at, probably
1:47:04
the better is how Denver's thinking and that's why it's gonna
1:47:06
be a little bit of time before it gets better, but there's no hope lost. Right? In Denver, they
1:47:08
feel like they are gonna be able to figure it
1:47:10
out and get going yet. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
1:47:14
for sure. I think they think that it's gonna work
1:47:16
itself out, but it's they're just in the process and
1:47:18
it's not they're not working it out in camp. They're
1:47:20
working it out we've got, you know, right right
1:47:22
in front of everybody. So, you know, if you go back though and look at over the history of
1:47:26
some of these quarterback, and
1:47:28
when they make this transition. The difference with Stafford and what
1:47:30
he did at, you know, Brady or what these guys have done is they they
1:47:34
were the only change. was goes into with
1:47:37
the Rams. They already have their system.
1:47:39
It's already been established. He needs
1:47:41
to come in and
1:47:44
kinda turnkey. Here, you're you're breaking in, you got
1:47:46
a new owner, you got a new head coach, new play caller, new system.
1:47:48
Russ is coming in learning all
1:47:50
these new pieces and a new system
1:47:53
So it it takes time to find that continuity in the
1:47:55
rhythm. Once they do, I think they're very, very
1:47:58
excited about the future. and
1:48:02
and the potential of what this offense can do
1:48:04
this year. They get a win on tonight.
1:48:06
Yeah. That could kind of springboard them
1:48:08
in defining some rhythm and getting some confidence.
1:48:11
because right now, It's like they're they're just kinda stuck their office coordinators says, we're
1:48:13
kinda stuck in mud. Just trying to get
1:48:15
this thing going. But once
1:48:18
it gets going, it's It'll be a thing of beauty. I saw that with Andrew
1:48:20
Luck. We drafted Andrew Luck. He wasn't
1:48:22
there for the first few OTAs.
1:48:26
He was sent the playbook on an iPad because he had
1:48:27
to graduate as an architectural engineer
1:48:30
or something. An architectural engineer
1:48:32
probably early, probably at the top
1:48:34
of his class. If I had to
1:48:36
guess, had to graduate. So he missed, like, the
1:48:38
first four weeks of OTAs or whatever with on field stuff. So backup quarterbacks are running
1:48:40
it. He's first day there.
1:48:42
Everybody's still learning the offense. His
1:48:45
first day there, he makes a check to something
1:48:47
in a walk through. And nobody on the team had a clue what the fuck he said. Everybody just
1:48:49
turned around. BA had to
1:48:52
stop it. And
1:48:54
he's like, we haven't got there yet. Like, we haven't
1:48:56
got there yet in practice or whatever. So everybody
1:48:58
immediately was like, oh, Andrew Luck is a super
1:49:01
as advertised. No. And also this is gonna be a process
1:49:03
because rookie quarterback to normally lean on an older guy that's
1:49:06
been in the system.
1:49:08
hey, whenever this happens, what have we done in the
1:49:10
past? Now it's nobody fucking knows. Now and now it's like -- Right. -- everybody's learning together. That is a big point that I
1:49:13
don't think we have talked about much like
1:49:15
Only we say is they
1:49:18
are boring the fucking watch. Yeah. And it's for good reasons.
1:49:20
None of them have a clue what the fuck they're doing.
1:49:22
Think about think about this like the smallest thing
1:49:25
as the cadence. Russ, I guess, prides himself. college football,
1:49:27
we don't have this whole cadence thing. AJ knows
1:49:29
in the NFL, you guys know, these
1:49:32
quarterbacks, advanced
1:49:34
quarterbacks. it is a big part of their game. That's
1:49:36
called And his own
1:49:38
offensive line his own
1:49:40
offensive line isn't comfortable with
1:49:42
his cadence. They have more penalties than anybody in the NFL. And a
1:49:44
lot of it has to do with false starts, holding
1:49:46
calls, his own line when they're like, III
1:49:50
and they're just like, whoop. you know, they they don't have the rhythm yet
1:49:52
down to what he's doing. So
1:49:54
a little thing like that a little
1:49:56
thing like that tells you how they're
1:49:58
still kind of a
1:49:59
working press progress
1:50:01
right now. The colds are as well, and they
1:50:03
got a lot of continuity, allegedly, except for one position. They got their own problems. Darius is question for
1:50:08
cur curbsky. It was so clear. You went out
1:50:10
of an absolutely crushing. My question for you is, what's the biggest difference or
1:50:13
between college and
1:50:16
college games? and called me NFL games. And what's been your
1:50:18
favorite moment thus far in this early part of season with a thirty nine football?
1:50:20
Mike, frankly. Hey, man. I
1:50:22
I really appreciate that. And and
1:50:26
love watching you break down the studio stuff.
1:50:28
You know, III love learning all that
1:50:30
stuff that you you have an opportunity to do.
1:50:32
And by the way, I I know you know
1:50:34
Surtan, But
1:50:34
I I know there's always a debate about who
1:50:36
the top corner of the game is, and
1:50:38
everybody has their their guy, man,
1:50:41
this guy is as good as I think there is
1:50:43
right now in the league. And
1:50:46
he's a big guy. He's
1:50:48
instinctive. Has great eyes. I can't wait
1:50:50
to watch him tonight. match up. We call we saw what he could do last week
1:50:52
against Adams. But, you know, the to
1:50:54
me, the grind for me, calling
1:50:57
a game is calling a game, but the
1:50:59
prep. You know, I am a I'm a just
1:51:01
a I'm not I
1:51:03
said earlier to somebody today. I'm not truly
1:51:05
acumen. I didn't win three Super Bowls. I
1:51:07
don't wanna Haysman. Even in college, I
1:51:09
always look to myself as I gotta prove myself kind of guy. I gotta grind and
1:51:12
study and be prepared, be the most prepared guy.
1:51:14
And that's kind of the brand that I created
1:51:16
in college.
1:51:19
And so when I go into NFL, it's kind of
1:51:21
the same approach. I I wanted,
1:51:23
like, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and
1:51:25
Wednesday, and even right
1:51:27
now, Thursday afternoon, it is just everything I
1:51:29
got into my preparation. And so when I do that, I
1:51:32
found that the game is the
1:51:34
game. You know, you're just kind
1:51:36
of breaking the game down.
1:51:38
But without that prep, I don't know what I would do. And I've just been so appreciative that the
1:51:40
coordinators, the players, all
1:51:43
these guys have been so
1:51:46
good in my meetings and and just open
1:51:48
it up and talk to me about what's real. And
1:51:50
that really helps me to be able to be
1:51:52
comfortable. And then it's just about developing chemistry with
1:51:54
Al and I, like, just like what we're doing with Pat on Game Day and you guys doing your show. Developing chemistry
1:51:57
is such a big part of
1:51:59
what you do on
1:52:00
on
1:52:03
any show. And so that that's the part that I've been really focused
1:52:06
on is just stand out, you know, giving out
1:52:08
his room and being
1:52:11
respectful of that and then
1:52:12
just talking football, you know, and
1:52:14
enjoying the hell out of it. Al hatred? Yeah. What? Al
1:52:17
hatred. Is that
1:52:19
what happens? No. No. He loves you.
1:52:21
No. How I'm saying everybody loves you though, Kirk. That's what you need to know.
1:52:23
Mhmm. I'm very lucky to get to work
1:52:25
alongside you, and you're great. because whenever I'm
1:52:28
in there, And
1:52:30
obviously college football has been your world for, like, twenty
1:52:32
years. You have been in the face of it literally
1:52:34
from when the video game was happening to a no
1:52:36
video game to a video game coming back. you have
1:52:38
been the face of this whole thing. So it's always a
1:52:41
nice comforting feeling. Then when I say
1:52:43
something, then I got, alright, curves next. I
1:52:45
hear it in my ear, curves and all. I'm
1:52:47
like, okay. Here we go. Thank god. Alright. Kirk's
1:52:49
coming in here after me, and you're gonna pull me out of the deep end wherever I
1:52:51
went. Or if I said something, you're gonna be
1:52:55
like, yeah, Cavosier smoke, definitely good guy. They're getting Chris Rodriguez back as well,
1:52:57
which I had no idea about. Obviously,
1:52:59
in the moment, I'm learning as you're
1:53:01
talking, and I'm like, thank God.
1:53:03
Kirby is here. And
1:53:05
I think Al and you are probably the two people that everybody says that about. You know? Like,
1:53:07
thank God Al, Michael's is here.
1:53:10
Thank God, Herb Street's
1:53:12
here. I
1:53:14
think as soon as we saw that YouTube were gonna be
1:53:16
paired, it was like, oh, here here's the fucking best
1:53:18
booth in the NFL probably in a year or so. So we're
1:53:20
all excited for you and we're happy that you're enjoying the
1:53:22
hell out of and he does prep like a madman. He's notes that
1:53:24
I saw his motherfucker in. Jeez. I had never
1:53:27
seen I walked in. He just had
1:53:29
it was just cards on cards on
1:53:31
cards. I'm like, Did you write all
1:53:32
that? That's all actual handwriting. Well, you
1:53:35
know what's funny is is, you know, you
1:53:37
write all these, like like, you heard my
1:53:39
board right now for this game. them
1:53:42
about the call. Yeah. That's just one game. That's one game. Yeah. And you just you write this stuff down and then up
1:53:45
you don't even really
1:53:47
look at it.
1:53:48
it's
1:53:51
it's like, I don't know, it's weird. It's like if you were studying for a final in
1:53:53
college and you not that I ever did that, but
1:53:56
you studied,
1:53:56
like, a hundred percent of
1:53:58
it, and then you maybe need
1:54:00
ten percent of it for the actual test itself. That's kinda
1:54:02
like what it's like to do, whether it's game day, it's three hour studio show, or
1:54:04
call it a Saturday night game. We're
1:54:06
doing these Thursday night gives you you
1:54:10
over prepare and then you use, you know, just a a very small amount of of the the
1:54:12
research that you do. But if
1:54:14
that's what it takes to get you
1:54:19
comfortable to go on air, then that's what you gotta do.
1:54:21
Hey. You you're doing a great Oh,
1:54:23
yeah. Doing great. You're
1:54:25
doing a great guy, agent. Well, you're you're doing
1:54:27
great on game day, man. We're getting a
1:54:29
No. We we You had joined it?
1:54:32
Dude, I said the wrong
1:54:32
school was playing the wrong school last week. You saved
1:54:35
me on that one. He said, I
1:54:37
mean, Mississippi State. I just did the Whoopik SUI thing. I was like, oh,
1:54:39
they played them last week. My brain did a real thing.
1:54:41
You know, you mean Mississippi. I'm like,
1:54:43
yeah. They won my Uh-huh.
1:54:46
Uh-huh. They they going to win. My team came wrong. Knew what was gonna happen to the outcome. Said the guy's name wrong five
1:54:49
times already. Probably
1:54:52
the reason you know,
1:54:54
why I'm happy to go to Kansas so I can apologize that I have a coach for saying his name wrong, which I'm still not a percent
1:54:56
sure which one is a leader or a lie. I
1:54:58
don't know. I think a lie lie mode. Nonetheless,
1:55:03
There's little things like that where I'm just completely lost on set. I think your fans
1:55:05
realize it, but I'm having a fucking blast. I'm
1:55:07
having an absolute
1:55:10
mess. Dude, I think our fans love that you that's
1:55:12
not an easy thing to do in any studio
1:55:14
show that's been going on, you know, for
1:55:17
so long. And then to just come in. And I I feel
1:55:19
like it's been just a seamless transition
1:55:22
for you. I love doing it.
1:55:24
Yeah. No.
1:55:26
Honestly, man. And and I I think and I've told you this before.
1:55:28
I think people saw you jump off of a
1:55:30
boat and thought, oh, he's a funny guy and
1:55:32
all that, which obviously you
1:55:35
you're very entertaining, but I think people
1:55:37
were saying that you know about the game, you know, as
1:55:39
much as you're like, I don't know anything about college football. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you do. You
1:55:41
know, that that that's a
1:55:44
cool act. but
1:55:46
you obviously know a lot about the game. And I think
1:55:48
that's that's the thing that I think people have been blown
1:55:50
away by is how you you're
1:55:52
breaking it down, man. You're and you're you're
1:55:54
a great teammate. And I think when you do studio
1:55:56
television and you do your show, it's
1:55:59
about being a
1:55:59
great teammate, you know. No no
1:56:02
different than playing football. you know, and and I think when you have great
1:56:04
teammates, it's easy to make a good studio show. Well, I'm
1:56:06
lucky to be on your team, pal. And the reason
1:56:09
why I'm smarter is because I get to chat with people
1:56:11
like, this dude's from Ohio every fucking
1:56:12
day. Hey, Jay. What do you have for
1:56:14
Kirk, Paul? Kirk, it's going over here. It
1:56:16
does kind
1:56:18
words. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. Sure. Yes. Very nice. You guys, the show is
1:56:20
great. I think everyone enjoys it, and Pat brings a
1:56:22
bunch of juice to the the stage. And I
1:56:25
think, Kirk, obviously, you do an
1:56:27
unbelievable job with your The knowledge you
1:56:29
have of college football in the NFL is a joke, but speaking to teammates, if
1:56:31
I obviously, you've been great, have a great
1:56:34
rapport with all of play
1:56:36
by play people you've worked with. And, like, not for you or
1:56:38
for somebody else,
1:56:38
how would it be trying to call a game? Like, you
1:56:40
got a code of communicator and a
1:56:43
play by a play person? if those
1:56:45
two people hate each other and genuinely did not get along. Hey, that is every entire
1:56:47
thing I would imagine. A and J, that has happened before, hasn't it? It
1:56:49
happens a lot, I think. It happens a
1:56:51
lot more than we know, from
1:56:54
watching on TV, a lot of times we can't tell. Yeah.
1:56:58
yeah
1:56:59
Well, I might
1:57:02
You don't need to call anybody out. You need to call anybody out, but I think that's same name. Yeah. Who's who's calling
1:57:05
you guys guys
1:57:08
today? Hey. No. Say, who who
1:57:10
have you heard which booths hate each other? Have you heard the Bustle back in the damn No. Okay. No. I
1:57:12
don't know I don't know anything
1:57:14
about that at all, but III
1:57:19
do know that that chemistry
1:57:20
is such a part of
1:57:22
it. My experience has been
1:57:25
Mike Turico. Right.
1:57:27
I worked with Brent
1:57:28
Mussberger. Why?
1:57:31
I
1:57:32
worked with
1:57:35
Chris Fowler. Why? Yeah.
1:57:38
And now I'm working with now Michaels. I mean, those are the four
1:57:41
guys that I
1:57:44
worked with. And so
1:57:45
I've been really, really, really fortunate. But, yeah, man, it it it's
1:57:47
a great question, AJ. I guess it's no different than if
1:57:50
you play on a
1:57:52
team. and you got a line back for
1:57:54
next to you who you don't get along with, but you guys have the same goal at the end of the day to
1:57:56
get a three and out, you
1:57:58
know, get them off
1:57:59
the field. It's all about ball.
1:58:02
It's all about whatever it takes to win. And then after the game, you're probably not gonna talk to that person or hang out
1:58:07
with them.
1:58:08
But for those sixty minutes you're balling.
1:58:10
And I I think that's probably the same, you know, in in what we do.
1:58:12
I don't have a ton
1:58:14
of experience with that, but I
1:58:17
do know that when it's clicking, like, when guys and you guy you can tell Pat on Friday
1:58:20
for meetings,
1:58:24
I mean, it's it's like romper room.
1:58:26
I mean, we're hanging out. We're laughing. We're self deprecating. Everyone's ripping
1:58:30
on each other. And
1:58:32
I think when you have that,
1:58:34
like, you guys clearly have, then I think it it it transfers onto
1:58:36
then i dig it it it transfers onto
1:58:39
on air. And then then I think that makes
1:58:40
the best TV. That's good. We all hate
1:58:42
each other. Right. You know what I mean?
1:58:44
But that those production meetings
1:58:46
have been awesome to sit in on.
1:58:49
First of all, I know what's gonna happen in the
1:58:51
show. That's good news. Mhmm. because back in the day last call, it's getting big experience. I had no idea what was coming down. But
1:58:53
you got a run down last week, which
1:58:55
was a huge step for
1:58:59
you. The actual piece of paper that tells you what's coming
1:59:01
up next. Yeah. It's good to know what's coming up
1:59:03
next. Yeah. It's awesome. I do.
1:59:05
There's there's first couple of
1:59:07
weeks there where we're running a
1:59:09
feature, some sort of commercial, and everybody is kind of getting in their places doing
1:59:12
their thing. And
1:59:15
I'm like, what What is next? What are
1:59:17
we doing, Kirk? What what's going on here next? What are we getting here next?
1:59:19
Have we how about
1:59:22
the features, by the way?
1:59:24
Gosh. Jen Latta, this this last one. I was going
1:59:26
to I was and then Jean man, Jean, have
1:59:29
me two weeks ago
1:59:31
to Michigan tied in. I
1:59:32
was crying. Yeah. Fuck that. The features are what
1:59:34
may I mean, it's just such a mixed bag on Game
1:59:36
Band. I don't know who's sitting around
1:59:39
watching the whole show, but you
1:59:42
know, of course, you talk football and you break it down. But, man, the features and try to
1:59:44
have some fun along the
1:59:46
way. I I think it's that's
1:59:50
that's probably what makes game day, game day,
1:59:52
but those features are powerful and so good. The
1:59:54
team is awesome over there. They've been very cool
1:59:56
to me and I've been very appreciative. Can't wait
1:59:58
to get to Lawrence Kansas. question about
1:59:59
different time zones
2:00:02
every week. Do you stay
2:00:05
on eastern time zone and also, what did you get to dinner on Jeff Bezos as tabs? Did you just get
2:00:08
the inexpensive
2:00:12
thing? No. No. I I
2:00:14
said it's a kids table that night. I I just I I
2:00:16
always been invited to
2:00:19
to the big people's table.
2:00:22
No. III typically I definitely
2:00:23
stay on East Coast time that helps me. And yeah,
2:00:29
you're right. These different time zones, especially when you're when you're
2:00:31
flying in for three or four hours and you're out, you know, it
2:00:33
obviously helps you just to kind of
2:00:35
try to stay consistent. But
2:00:38
no, man. I I wish I was more of
2:00:41
a go out to dinner guy I used to be.
2:00:43
I just I have zero
2:00:45
time right now with with doing these these three games, you know, the
2:00:47
game and game day and everything else. I once we
2:00:50
went to dinner a couple
2:00:52
times Yeah.
2:00:54
With Pat, but it's just it's
2:00:56
just those those are the when AJ played, I
2:00:58
think those are the days when
2:00:59
I'd be able to go out and have
2:01:01
a little bit of fun. Well,
2:01:03
now you're, you
2:01:04
know, an international superstar.
2:01:06
Yeah. Correct. fucking now?
2:01:09
No. Not. Yeah. No. you're
2:01:11
not just from Ohio. You're not just to know how fuck it. No.
2:01:13
No. No. Now you are the face
2:01:15
of the program that
2:01:17
brought the most sign ups in a one day
2:01:20
history of Amazon's fucking history.
2:01:22
Hey, man. Hey. Hey. Can I

2:01:37
go back there. Whoa. Like, they're building
2:01:39
something they're building shop, but guess
2:01:42
what happened? You go to a place
2:01:44
like you build something, and then he's
2:01:46
gonna get the fuck out of there and see if you can. He's gonna go to Nebraska. He's gonna go to you
2:01:51
unless he's hardcore. Hey. He made no love life.
2:01:53
I'm still not sold out Barclays free, but I love you, pal. But let's hey.
2:01:56

2:02:08
row, but Kirk, love you very much. Yeah. I
2:02:10
wish you would've played quarterback for me. I know you're in Ohio guy. Yo. You can't give you

Oh, that's
2:02:23
hilarious, man. That
2:02:26
is too good. That's dead on. Thank
2:02:28
you. It's unbelievable, dude. Did you hear a
2:02:30
message with Siri on? He worked. He was
2:02:32
right next to Siri on thought he was side by
2:02:35
side with Siri on it. I thought I was watching a movie.
2:02:37
It was real life. That's that's incredible. You you
2:02:39
I mean, how many hours did
2:02:41
you did you practice that? I mean, it must have just
2:02:43
been your thing back back when he was a
2:02:45
coach. Yeah. I mean, it's kinda one of
2:02:48
those things where you just you
2:02:50
realize you can do it and guy just slip in and slip. But I've been doing it for
2:02:52
a long time. How long how long?
2:02:54
sense, like, sixth grade, probably. So that's
2:02:57
at this point, you know, around, like, fifteen -- Oh, one of yours. --
2:02:59
this guy's put ten thousand hours in his little
2:03:02
Yeah. Yeah. No. That's how you mentioned this
2:03:04
guy's done it. You're putting in
2:03:06
ten thousand miles every single week.
2:03:09
We appreciate you so much. We know you're
2:03:11
very busy. How do you see no. You don't do predictions. Not a lot. Not all I do predictions. But
2:03:16
We we
2:03:17
no. We can't wait to watch it. We can't wait to watch it. under. Yep. Yeah.
2:03:19
Yeah. I think so. Yeah. I think so. Ladies
2:03:23
and gentlemen, Kirk. Marco
2:03:26
Boseley has been
2:03:27
seen on the Internet
2:03:29
since he announced an
2:03:31
infection in his foot. He
2:03:34
has tweeted For the first time in weeks, Mark
2:03:36
Caboli says, he had emergency
2:03:38
foot surgery on twenty seventh,
2:03:41
which resulted in a
2:03:43
pretty nasty leg infection was in the
2:03:45
hospital for five days and still battling the infection.
2:03:47
Once I kicked this infection, parenthesis, it's
2:03:51
a bear parenthesis. I'll be back covering the
2:03:53
Steelers at the athletic. Hopefully, I'll be back soon. We
2:03:55
hope so too, Mark. Mister Mark. You're welcome,
2:03:57
Mark. Hell, yeah. You're
2:03:59
welcome, Mark. all our positive
2:04:02
t's and p's. I do wonder why that gift was chosen. I do wonder why the gift was chosen. I think he's confused
2:04:04
by it all.
2:04:07
It's football season. Let's go
2:04:09
ahead and get Mark Caboli back. That's great news. A. J. Hoc here. Connor, incredible read about the SuperBoost
2:04:11
-- Mhmm. -- Thai, incredible Lou Holzius,
2:04:14
a moment to go tone. Great
2:04:16
work. dairy's
2:04:18
butler on the road for an if I'll match up.
2:04:20
We have no coach piece, keys today. And we covered it in
2:04:22
the first hour, but some people are new to or back
2:04:24
to the show or turning on the show for the first
2:04:26
time in a long time. for coach p's keys. We were also bummed out about
2:04:28
it. Coach p has a wedding he had to
2:04:30
attend. Mhmm. So it is good news for
2:04:32
somebody. Yeah. Love love love
2:04:34
love love love love love. of
2:04:37
the Galvago is probably gonna be at that wedding. So
2:04:39
much probably. so much Galvago A. J. in that wedding, probably, if you had to
2:04:42
guess, how much Galvago?
2:04:44
I
2:04:44
mean, a ton because
2:04:46
me and Khan would love that place. Goddamn right. We love Gobble
2:04:48
goddamn right
2:04:49
the gotta go and
2:04:51
Italian people. Hell yeah.
2:04:53
And and mustangs. Oh, mustangs, baby. Goddamn mustangs. He's
2:04:55
on a wedding
2:04:55
and plumb. But if he was at a wedding and
2:04:58
plumb, there'd be a lot of gobble there. Coach going
2:05:00
up. is
2:05:03
at a wedding. We do not know how much God will go was
2:05:05
there, but we do know he is at a wedding. We'll
2:05:07
miss him this week. We'll see
2:05:09
him next week. It is a fucking bummer, though. because he's
2:05:11
been pretty accurate with how the games are gonna go. Yeah. With that being said,
2:05:13
we can only turn to one man in this situation
2:05:15
and that is the guy who's been hot
2:05:18
for the first four weeks of the NFL
2:05:20
season. to kick off week five
2:05:22
of the NFL season tonight. Cole said Bronco, we asked AJHH to put together
2:05:24
a bet for us
2:05:26
to super boost on FanDuel
2:05:29
which people can also no sweat bet
2:05:31
and no sweat parlay alongside of us if they'd like, but we have a super boost. It's
2:05:34
a big 1AJ
2:05:37
You stepped in a batter's box, you brought out a hog of a bat, and you swung that thing
2:05:39
as hard as fucking could.
2:05:43
Plus two thousand Super
2:05:46
boost. AJ, will you please walk us through
2:05:48
why and how we're gonna hit this thing? Well, what
2:05:51
Bruce helped me out with this, so we got
2:05:53
the line bump to ten and a half. Correct?
2:05:55
for the cold. Yes. So colds at plus ten and a half. There
2:05:57
it is. Colds plus ten and a half. Jalani
2:05:59
was in one touchdown. Our
2:06:01
nine me our
2:06:04
nine himhines. forty plus rush yards. Go ahead, AJ. Yeah. I mean, that
2:06:06
to me, to get plus
2:06:06
two thousand odds, you know, when I put these together, I want I want
2:06:09
the reward to
2:06:11
be big. So to get plus two thousand, that's higher than
2:06:13
I thought I would get, and I think it's very doable. How come coats plus ten and a half
2:06:16
AJ? Because,
2:06:18
I
2:06:18
mean, I don't think it's gonna be a crazy high scoring game. You heard Kirk talk
2:06:20
about that a little bit. And I feel like the
2:06:22
Coats have a chance to win this game. Let
2:06:24
alone get it within ten and a half.
2:06:26
Let's go -- Wow. -- walker. you
2:06:29
think July Woods gonna get in the end zone? I think we've been yelling real loud about it. You would think
2:06:31
the Colts would have to do something. that why you're
2:06:34
saying July Woods were
2:06:36
early? Okay. the
2:06:38
score in the first quarter because then the rest
2:06:40
is just gonna take care of itself. That's what I'm hoping for tonight.
2:06:42
And the Naim Hines forty plus rusharge Jonathan Taylor is
2:06:46
out with an ankle, which might have ended up in a pile up. We're
2:06:48
not a hundred percent sure when it took place.
2:06:50
He missed his first practice since his
2:06:53
entire football career started, even going back to high school on Wednesday of
2:06:56
last week. Now he's out after
2:06:58
playing not great this past weekend
2:07:00
against the
2:07:02
Tennessee Titans. Niam Hines is the backup running back alongside
2:07:04
Philip Lindsay, who is from Denver
2:07:06
played for the bronchos. Niam
2:07:10
Hines is incredibly explosive. Yeah. This is one play potentially.
2:07:12
Right? But I think he's not scared to
2:07:14
kinda -- Mhmm. -- lower. -- playing
2:07:17
in bang if he has to as well.
2:07:19
that's what you're talking about. This all taking care of itself over the four quarters of
2:07:21
it all. Absolutely. I feel like the colds are
2:07:23
gonna
2:07:23
have to try to
2:07:25
attempt to run the ball throughout the night. Like, consistently stay with it. So
2:07:27
nineteen Hines will will benefit from that. And I think forty
2:07:30
yards is
2:07:30
is a thing that he could hit before halftime.
2:07:32
Alternate spread, ten and a
2:07:34
half looks very nice. Oh, half
2:07:37
to par the parlay that alongside a couple other things to get the
2:07:39
odds. Jalani Woods, I think he was still, like, plus seven fifty to
2:07:41
score a touch on. He's plus seven
2:07:43
hundred last week. He
2:07:46
was, like, plus seven fifty or plus six hundred, then
2:07:48
the plus seven fifty, I forget where he
2:07:50
moved, but he's high. His odds are
2:07:53
very long. And I if you watch that
2:07:55
cold scene, they need somebody that can make a play. Yeah. Mo Riley talks. The other side that makes a
2:07:57
lot of plays. I fucking love Mo
2:07:59
Riley talks.
2:07:59
Let's keep feeding
2:08:03
Mo'Reilly Cox. But also, if you get two
2:08:05
tied
2:08:05
ends that can do the same. I mean,
2:08:07
that's open Let's get a
2:08:08
little creative here. Yeah. Let's get a
2:08:10
little especially with the run team. So you're gonna block tied ins. I believe they're
2:08:12
gonna block. Say you. Connor's favorite
2:08:14
team had a
2:08:15
lot of success with two tied
2:08:17
ins. What seems? Who are the tight ends? I believe he's from the Patriots.
2:08:19
Connor's a big Patriots fan. He's from New England Who
2:08:20
were the two tight ends you're talking
2:08:22
about? That was grok. And then who was
2:08:24
you're talking about
2:08:25
other
2:08:27
one. You know, it Hernandez. Yeah. Aaron Hernandez. Thanks
2:08:30
for holding
2:08:30
him. Also, Marty b.
2:08:33
He's done him multiple
2:08:34
times. Crown kept Marty. Oh,
2:08:37
yeah. Good thing to have. Now, Gronk would miss some games at that point. Right? Wouldn't there be some time that
2:08:39
he would miss some games, they would be
2:08:42
able to continue to
2:08:44
do the tight end position.
2:08:46
But when Gronk was in, because you're talking about greatest tight end of all time -- Yeah. -- Gronk,
2:08:48
despite and about i'm not drunk
2:08:51
I think. Right? I'm sure you could
2:08:53
say that. Yeah. Right now. There's certainly an argument to be made for it by somebody
2:08:55
at some point and it's happening in a lot of different
2:08:57
cases probably because he was able to
2:08:59
change the game. on the
2:09:01
ground and in the air and was with the
2:09:03
best quarterback of time through all of his basically, all of Bowl ring. So
2:09:08
it's something his best weapon, his biggest weapon, and the
2:09:10
biggest moments he was the one making to catch us. But Travis Kelsey is trying to put together the same argument.
2:09:12
So -- Yeah. -- there's a couple of people in Tonya,
2:09:14
Gates from back in the day in Gonzales. I understand
2:09:18
staying there's big names, but the Thailand position has
2:09:20
evolved mightily. And Trump has always been a
2:09:22
very important piece to all of his
2:09:25
success. He's in the modern hundred. Anyways, when
2:09:27
you got two of those fucking guys. Yes. And then you don't have you don't
2:09:29
have a lot of weapons on your team. Like, this is
2:09:31
good news, I think, for
2:09:33
the Jilani Woods touchdown. Plus seven fifty
2:09:35
good value. You put it in a parlay.
2:09:37
You can really cook some things. Now we'd be
2:09:39
banking on Frank Reich knowing that he
2:09:41
can port them both in its same time. Yeah. I think he can. He's
2:09:43
a smart man. Don't you think AJ? Absolutely. And
2:09:46
we talk about match ups.
2:09:47
You wanna create match ups that are
2:09:49
favorable for
2:09:50
you, and these both these tight
2:09:52
ends. are
2:09:53
big bodied dudes that you run up the seam, you throw a high ball that only
2:09:55
they can get, especially in the red zone, they become even more
2:09:59
valuable. So hope they start using two titans a little
2:10:02
more. And you'd think like, oh, okay. Maybe they got a good safety, you know. That's covering titans,
2:10:04
but Justin Simmons is on the
2:10:06
IR still. I believe so. It's
2:10:09
like, hey, maybe they have a guy that can cover 167 guy, but they don't got
2:10:11
to. And the corners are good, so might as
2:10:14
well
2:10:14
throw inside. Bigger.
2:10:17
Pittman. Good. Yeah. Pittman won't be able to eat some space too. He he
2:10:19
might be able to benefit from this particular thing more than anybody else
2:10:21
on the field because all odds are
2:10:23
on number eleven, normally. whenever
2:10:26
he's on. I think the codes do have a path to
2:10:28
win in this game. I do believe we have a
2:10:30
strong chance of hitting your plus two
2:10:33
thousand SuperBoost. And I believe the feel good
2:10:35
Friday tomorrow is gonna be a little extra. Oh,
2:10:37
yeah. Plus after you hit a plus two thousand? Boom.
2:10:39
Yep. Come on, Ajay. I
2:10:41
mean, I'll tell you what, I didn't think it
2:10:43
was gonna be plus two thousand. It's got thousand to be twelve hundred or something.
2:10:46
When I saw two thousand, I absolutely locked that thing in, Bruce. Yeah. Love
2:10:48
it. Hell,
2:10:51
yeah. Yeah. Week night. Whoo. Our
2:10:54
Thursday night, same game
2:10:56
parlays.
2:10:58
have been something that you would
2:11:00
make a fucking feature film on. Right.
2:11:03
Right. call you. Mhmm.
2:11:05
The unfortunate events that have occurred -- Mhmm. --
2:11:08
under the spotlight of thousands
2:11:10
and thousands of people rotting
2:11:12
alongside of us. tonight's the
2:11:14
night where we hit a plus two
2:11:16
thousand and it all comes back around. That's
2:11:18
right. Plus two thousand is a massive bet.
2:11:21
That is a huge that is long
2:11:23
odds. The reason why we're getting so much money on return is because sports book, who some
2:11:25
people think, are time travelers.
2:11:28
Mhmm. Yep. feel
2:11:31
like you got no fucking shot of this hitting. We're
2:11:33
willing to pay you fucking twenty to one on
2:11:35
this thing. Go ahead. We're willing to
2:11:37
do that right now on this.
2:11:39
No problem at all. Tonight, we
2:11:41
hit. Yeah. Tonight, nice
2:11:43
night.
2:11:43
Like shreds, we
2:11:45
shrugs we
2:11:48
ride.
2:11:48
Thanks. Let's go
2:11:49
A. J. Hock. Come on, Giovanni. Let's go. Like, who who
2:11:51
out like who? Oh, you say it
2:11:54
like who? Like Shregs? Yeah.
2:11:56
So
2:11:56
like who are shreds yeah
2:11:58
so Listen. 105
2:11:59
these
2:11:59
things. Where's he riding? Oh, he has one, you're
2:12:02
saying? Yeah. So in the last hour, I did
2:12:04
this thing to the camera when I was
2:12:06
talking to Darius, and you said, can you
2:12:08
see what you said immediately bond. If I do recall, I'd I'd
2:12:10
have to run it back, but I think that is what you said. It was. And I said, let's ride.
2:12:12
You know, we're on the bunkers at the start
2:12:14
of the old discussions. Well, everybody relax. Right?
2:12:18
Let's ride into ten winners here. Right. That's what I
2:12:20
was saying. Like, let's ride any good times.
2:12:23
I guess, as
2:12:23
soon as we want to
2:12:24
break, Todd told me the Shrek's did the
2:12:27
same exact thing. Two camera this morning. I'll go more in football.
2:12:29
So I believe me and Shranks. Yeah. Two other pounders
2:12:31
are five. They've got the
2:12:33
let's ride about Buckle's friend, Denver, Marcus. Who's the other
2:12:35
three? Good question. A lot. We'll find
2:12:38
out tomorrow they win. Kid
2:12:40
rock, for sure.
2:12:42
sure Denver,
2:12:43
I don't know No. Future. Oh, no.
2:12:45
Alright. Let's do our picks now for this thing we
2:12:47
tied last week. We tied last
2:12:50
week. You are two o and
2:12:52
two. I am
2:12:54
o two and two on the season. Had a
2:12:56
similar start as the Indianapolis Coats last year and this year in the
2:12:58
picking of the games, but AJ is doing the SuperBoost.
2:13:03
So who gives a fuck? AJ, let's stay hot. Kohl's plus three and
2:13:05
a half. Bronco's minus three and a
2:13:07
half. Over under forty two and
2:13:10
a half points, all signs point
2:13:12
to a defense defensive juggernaut struggle this
2:13:14
evening as two teams are trying to find an identity on the
2:13:16
offensive side. What do
2:13:19
you think happens here evening on
2:13:21
prime, kicking off week five, AJ. So I know I have
2:13:23
the cold set plus ten and
2:13:24
a half on the alternate
2:13:26
spread for the far away, but
2:13:29
I'm gonna take bronchos here minus three and a
2:13:31
k. You probably that the special think it's
2:13:32
gonna be
2:13:34
in between four points, to
2:13:38
nine points or ten points or whatever. That's a pretty big big boost in the odds if you wanna
2:13:40
ride alongside AJ with
2:13:43
a double bet there. Give
2:13:46
me the cults plus three and a half. Let's go. It's
2:13:48
a great number.
2:13:49
Great. I think that's a good
2:13:51
bet. Honestly, like I said, the cults
2:13:53
can win this game. And we like the under. Right? You'd like
2:13:55
the under, I like the under? Yeah. I I don't
2:13:57
usually
2:13:57
like under's, but III had to.
2:13:59
I
2:13:59
would pick under here for sure. Yeah. So
2:14:02
we won't make that pick for because we're both kinda we're
2:14:04
both in the same situation. Like, games
2:14:06
are much better watching, not hoping for
2:14:09
the Oscar. But if I had to make if
2:14:11
you were gonna go over, you felt strong about
2:14:13
the over, I would have in return said, well,
2:14:15
I feel good about the under then. But since
2:14:17
neither of us have taken that stand, I don't think we should make an
2:14:19
official pick, Asia. Okay. Bronco is doing one to thirteen
2:14:22
points, I believe,
2:14:23
is also plus one forty
2:14:27
five if you do like that. If you think it's gonna be within a
2:14:29
two score game, basically. Fun fact, these are the
2:14:31
thirty second and thirtieth
2:14:34
ranked scoring offenses. So that's good
2:14:35
news for the under better lovers, which the man who
2:14:38
just stated what he just stated is
2:14:40
certainly one of those, maybe
2:14:42
the leader of the pack. leader of the pack, but now that everyone loves it, I kind
2:14:44
of fucking hate it. No.
2:14:46
No. No. You, AJ Kirk,
2:14:50
seventy percent of America. Fuck. Ninety
2:14:52
percent of the money. Why is this always
2:14:54
gonna happen? AJ, we get a walk. Hey.
2:14:56
Last week, I believe, was a
2:14:58
winning week for the public though. so
2:15:00
maybe we're keeping that alive. There we go. Here we go. There we go.
2:15:02
I'm worried about them. It doesn't work. Doesn't matter. It's about us. You know that. AJ,
2:15:05
will you please
2:15:08
lift up your left hand and put your pointer finger
2:15:10
up right above your shoulder, like, yes, to the corner, though?
2:15:12
That company right up there? Nope. No.
2:15:14
No. No.
2:15:14
No. No. No. You had it.
2:15:18
Yep. Better.
2:15:19
That no. No. A little
2:15:21
bit
2:15:21
that way. A little bit this way. By the
2:15:23
way. By the way. Stop
2:15:25
and then just right up there.
2:15:27
Yep. That way a little bit down down that way.
2:15:29
There. This way. Not where he's
2:15:32
at.
2:15:32
Nope.
2:15:36
No. No. No. Wait. What was that
2:15:38
point at the famous time? No. Fan do a
2:15:40
thing. Well, at the beginning, I don't have
2:15:42
a fan doing my screen. At the beginning,
2:15:44
you certainly
2:15:46
a forefront over now. What a moment.
2:15:49
Anyways, we're trying to beat the fuck out
2:15:51
