Speaker 2: How how's Florida treating you?

11
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: It's sunny and warn that's what all the reporters are

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: reporting back that it's freezing up there and we got

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: some nice sunshine. Probably got a pool later.

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: I must be rough locky, Yeah, rub it in, go

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: to the pool later.

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 4: Man, Man, not to make it.

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 3: Let's not.

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: We don't have to start with the sour note. But

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: we're going to we you know, we had a chance

20
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: to go there. Pablo Lopez, like what three four weeks ago,

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: seemed like such a good dude. He was so excited

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: about this season. Man, this is just heartbreaking that he's

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: gonna miss the whole year.

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough.

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 5: It's when we get that news, it's it's really hard

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 5: for the.

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: Team, you know, it's injuries. Is such a such a

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: harsh reality of this game, and everyone's dealt with it.

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: I think every this clubhouse is dealt with dealt with

30
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: them over the years, with with Buck and Royce and some.

31
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 5: Really impactful players that are missing time.

32
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: And we've seen the impact that has on and wins

33
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: and losson's. But at the end of the day, you

34
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta turn the page and continue to try

35
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: and play and win baseball games. And the good thing

36
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: for us is we've got a lot of young turning

37
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: pitchers that had the ability and now we're gonna have

38
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: to step up and really show that.

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 6: Hey, Ryan ben Lever, here, can I ask your really dorky,

40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 6: nerdy science ye question that maybe you can answer, maybe

41
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 6: not answer way. You know, when when the NFL players

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 6: have gotten through like the acl sort of trend and

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 6: now we've gotten to deal with like the Achilles trend,

44
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 6: and like there's all this like science and trying to

45
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 6: figure out, like how can we fix this and we

46
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 6: protect our bodies like the u c L in baseball

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 6: player's elbows.

48
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 7: Like what is it about? Is it just an overuse thing?

49
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 6: Like how are you guys able to protect yourselves so

50
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 6: you don't succumb to like the most common and really

51
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 6: detrimental injury that a baseball player can have.

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, I.

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: I'm not a doctor, but I believe it probably directly

54
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: correlates to just the velocity games and that everyone has

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: in this game. I'm not sure. I'm not sure your

56
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: arm is really built to handle that type of velocity

57
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: and that type of torque through the elbow. I'm not

58
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: sure if there's.

59
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 8: Much more that you can really do.

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: You know, Pablo is probably the epitome of of doing

61
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: everything he can to take care of his body and

62
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 3: get himself ready. So, you know, if it's happening to

63
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: guys like him, then in my head, it tells me

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 3: there's really not much you can do to prevent it.

65
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: It's more of just a taking time.

66
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 9: Mom, right, it's meat sauce. What is something you guys

67
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 9: do when you're not doing baseball? And then obviously going

68
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 9: to the pool, but what's something you guys do to

69
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 9: kind of bond for the season?

70
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: Grind that's ahead of you.

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we spend obviously, we spend a lot

72
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: of a lot of the day at the field and

73
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: then and then a lot of us live.

74
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: In similar areas similar locations.

75
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: We'll go, We'll go hang out with all of our families.

76
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: We'll get back to the pool. You know, we're go.

77
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: We'll go hang out with all a couple of different

78
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 3: families at the pool. You know, we'll have some some

79
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: group get together, you know, whether that's cooking dinner one night,

80
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: because most days you have pretty much the whole afternoon

81
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: to if you're not in the game, to you know,

82
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: do whatever you whatever you please, So there's a lot

83
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 3: of opportunity to it's usually spending family time. Usually it's

84
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: not just player and player. It's usually players in their families.

85
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 8: And which is fun is you get to meet.

86
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: People off the not meet people, but no people off

87
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: the field, which makes those bonds even closer.

88
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: What's the dumbest question you've been asked so far from

89
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: one of the reporters down there? And why was that

90
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: question asked by John Bonus?

91
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if I I haven't had a ton.

92
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 8: They were down here early, but we've been busy.

93
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: It hasn't had a ton of ton of you know,

94
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: stupid questions yet. I guess.

95
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: Like they're not if you have one, If you have one,

96
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: shoot sauce.

97
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: We have a dumb question. You gotta have something stupid.

98
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: I can think of something, think of something stupid. If

99
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: you could have one meal for the rest of your life,

100
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: what would it be?

101
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: One meal? Does it have to like support me or mine?

102
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: I mean no, I just want I could, I could.

103
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: I'll probably go one meal forever, probably probably just a

104
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: good steak and.

105
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 5: Mashed potatoes or steak and baked potatoes.

106
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 3: Something like that.

107
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: Can you imagine sauce if he had said an A

108
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 4: I E bowl?

109
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,279

116
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 6: been kicking around the last couple of days. If you

117
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 6: were to do the two man bob sled with any

118
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 6: one of your teammates, who would you choose and.

119
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 7: Would you be on top or bottom?

120
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,480

Speaker 7: Yeah, not the bobs of the two men.

125
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 8: That seem the lose seems a lot more fun than that.

126
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tougher question. When you got to lose,

127
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 7: two men lose, you choose?

128
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: I had to pick one of my teammates, and would

129
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: I be topper bottom?

130
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: We you know, we actually had this conversation going around

131
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 5: the locker room as well.

132
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: You did the locker room of course. Yeah, when you

133
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: see two dudes laying on top of each other, you

134
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: kind of have that conversation. You got to go for mass, right, you.

135
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 5: Know who's gonna Who's gonna way to fleas them up?

136
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: I don't but Bailey over might be a little too long.

137
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: His feet might hit the I don't know if it

138
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: makes floods long enough. I'm trying to think of who's

139
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: the heaviest on and on the club. Let's thinks. I mean,

140
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: let's just go with Walder probably would be a pretty

141
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 3: good partner. It's a pretty good Uh. He's a big boy.

142
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna I'm gonna clean the fists on the

143
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 3: topper bottom part. It there just this is on the radio.

144
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: You know how much of the Winter Olympics did you watch?

145
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 4: A lot?

146
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: A good amount. You know, I kind of liked that

147
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 3: every four years you get to watch this super obscure

148
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: sports that you're not going to watch again until four

149
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: years later. Right.

150
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: It's the beauty of it, right, It's like curling.

151
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: I get captivated by curling, but I only have to

152
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: care once every four years.

153
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 4: It's super fun.

154
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: Do you think those guys train curling like year round

155
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: or is it like, hey, let's just six months before

156
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: the Olympics would start practicing again.

157
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna assume it's year round. Yeah.

158
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: That's a good question though, And I'm a you know,

159
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm much more of a baseball guy than these guys are.

160
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: So I'll get back to real questions if you don't mind,

161
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: what do you What did you do with your offseason?

162
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: Did you have any fun at all? Or was it

163
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: all getting ready for baseball?

164
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah? For me, like I live at the beach in

165
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: North Carolina and it's a slow, slow town, small town

166
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: fields and for me, the off season is just so

167
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 3: much about like kind of spending as much time being

168
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: to dad as I can. You know, in season, it's

169
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: it's all baseball, you know, it's the reality of this

170
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: this job, as baseball comes before everything else. You know.

171
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: I can't make sacrifices on the baseball side for my family.

172
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: So when I get time in the off season to

173
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: spend as much time with them as I can, you know,

174
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: I take full advantage of that, and and yeah, I'm

175
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: STI getting ready for baseball. I still leave most most

176
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: days to go do something when it's workout or or

177
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: do baseball or do pilates or whatever whatever that day is.

178
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: But but every chance I get, it's just spend spending

179
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: time with the kids.

180
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: You on you dealing with any injuries in the off

181
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: season or not.

182
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: No, I feel great. You know, my body feels phenomenal.

183
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: There's there's nothing nagat me right now. You know, There's

184
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: there's moments in spring training. I think every player goes

185
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: through them where like your body starts feeling bad and

186
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: you work through it. Your body's just kind of really

187
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,559
Speaker 3: starting to try and get used to doing this again

188
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: every single day, you know. And the off season you

189
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: can train as much as you want, but come to

190
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: spring training and doing it every single day is just

191
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: just a little different.

192
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 8: So for now, we're feeling good.

193
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 3: Let's hope we keep it that way, and hopefully we're

194
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: feeling good come March twenty six.

195
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 9: Random question, What's where is the most painful place you've

196
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 9: taken a foul tip?

197
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: Probably, I mean when I get hitting the legs, it's

198
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: usually it hurts, But it's almost like a you know,

199
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: like a stingpong when you play stingpong as a kid,

200
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: like when you get like that stinging feel.

201
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 8: That's more what it feels like when you.

202
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 3: Get in the leg, when you get hit in the

203
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: hand like that that bare hand. I mean, I broke

204
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 3: my thumb I've had. I'd probably get two or three

205
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: X rays a year on my hand when I get hit.

206
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 3: That's probably the worst one.

207
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: That's nuts to me.

208
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: By the way.

209
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: The I used to do that all the time as

210
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: a kid with with my friends, where you'd get in

211
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: one room with a ping pong paddle and try to

212
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: hit each other and it's, you know, had that sting

213
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: I've never heard the phrase sting pong until now.

214
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 4: Why did we not call it that? That's so obvious

215
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: you've never heard that.

216
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 8: No, never, that was what we called it.

217
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 4: I played it all all the time. We never had

218
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 4: a name for it.

219
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 2: We're just like, hey, should we try to hit each

220
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 2: other with ping pong balls? Stingpong is free king brilliant.

221
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, what a wasted opportunity, What a great.

222
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: Point, And whoever wins the point gets to hammer that

223
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: ping pong ball. Man.

224
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: Wow, boys just such idiots. I don't know the same

225
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 6: thing grown up.

226
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: It hurts right because we raised were raised off of pain.

227
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 7: I guess.

228
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 6: But like you know, you get a group of boys

229
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 6: that are bored, it's like, let's hit each other with stuff.

230
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: Correct.

231
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'll tell you And that's how you become

232
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 8: That's how.

233
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: You start doing double blue. You know.

234
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: I have to say, it feels to me like Derek

235
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Shelton is one of those guys who would be playing

236
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: that game with us as well. He just seems like

237
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: one of the guys. Am I right about that?

238
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a guys guy. You know, he's he brings

239

Speaker 3: You know, he's he's and I think this is a

246
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: really good thing for a manager. You know, he he'd

247
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,720

Speaker 8: The end of the day, that goes a really long

254
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 8: way in.

Speaker 3: And having someone that's gonna tell you straight up but

262
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: then also keep you accountable and then have a conversation

263

Speaker 3: about your family. You know that it just all plays

264
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,679

267
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 12: that tries out all these different baseball bats. Do you

268
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 12: have a favorite baseball of your career?

269
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: Not? Really? They've changed so much now since I've been

270
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 3: out of school. You know that they they're making them

271
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 3: and all these highlight, highlighter colors. You know, when I

272
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: was playing, it was black and red and blue maybe,

273
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: but now they're in pinks and yellows, and I don't know.

274
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: I when I was really little, we still used the

275
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: beasts for bats.

276
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 5: And those were really fun because those you could hit a.

277
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: Ball one hundred and twelve off soft tops.

278
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 7: God, that's great.

279
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: Did you ever try the orange stealth?

280
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: I did? I did? I know. I've actually thought this

281
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: year for players weekend to have to have someone paint

282
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 3: bats just like the old like super juiced bats. I

283
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: was just waking to look like the metals.

284
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I was just reading that Joey Joe Ryan actually was

285
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: playing catch this weekend. Actually yesterday, I believe he was

286
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: playing catch. So good to see him making his way

287
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: back out on the field. I'm sure this weekend kind

288
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: of freaks out a little.

289
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: Bit, right, Yeah, you never it's never good when he

290
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: comes off. But he said from the get he didn't

291
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: think it was anything serious. Yes, I mean, like I said,

292
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: spring training is pretty brutal. You know, you you practice

293
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: a bunch in the off season, but you just can't

294
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: prepare yourself for the grind when you get here. So

295
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: things pop up, things are nagging, you know. I assume

296
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: he I don't know what he'll do about the WBC now,

297
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 3: but all that matters is he is. He's going to

298
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: be ready for hoping to Ryan.

00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: me look at the odds. Hold on, I think Michigan

474
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: was the favorite, but it might be what's got to

475
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: be the does the number ones overallieskies?

476
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: Hang on? No one of us gone too soon. This

477
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: is taking forever. That doesn't matter.

478
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 9: The combine though, Ben Leeber starts today with the defensive

479
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 9: linemen and linebackers.

480
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: Will run all their drills. The underwear Olympics has something

481
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: like to call it Ben Yeah.

482
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, well according to Tommy, you know, they'd make a

483
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 6: lot more money if the guys are just naked.

484
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. Correct. It's still at that stadium.

485
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, well going back a few years, wasn't it. Chris

486
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 6: Jones I believe ran the forty basically shorts. Yeah yeah,

487
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 6: his Wiener film.

488
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: You got to make sure you have shortsh her you know,

489
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 4: ready to work.

490
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah that worked for you. Yeah yeah, maybe not.

491
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 6: The standard issued is working for everybody. It works for

492
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 6: a guy like me, but not for a guy like

493
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 6: Chris Jones.

494
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 9: A few names to watch ben or Caleb Banks, the

495
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 9: defensive tackle from Florida, Caden McDonald, the defensive tackle from

496
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 9: the Ohio State, and Peter Woods from Clemson.

497
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Peter Woods to me right now, sounds

498
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 6: like he could be at eighteen and would make a

499
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: lot of sense at eighteen. So if if of those

500
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 6: three guys that, if you're watching on NFL network, really

501
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 6: pay attention to what he's doing, can.

502
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 9: You imagine the PA call with Peter a touchdown called

503
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 9: Peter Woods. Well, it's a defensive tackle, so I mean

504
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 9: it's not zero, though I suppose it could happen.

505
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 2: What was the one the punters sack? Yeah, sack by Woods,

506
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 2: Woods would sack. It was Johnny Hecker and he's ad

507
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 2: Johnny Pecker. Yeah, gotta be careful, Yeah, do you have

508
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 2: a Hecker?

509
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 14: And now Johnny Hecker's in the game to punt. Now,

510
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 14: gotta be careful with Johnny Pecker. John all right, three two,

511
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 14: you gotta be three to two. You gotta be careful

512
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 14: with Johnny Hecker because he likes to pass. Gotta be

513
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 14: careful with Johnny Packord.

514
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 9: He's not wrong, No, Hey, Man Michigan is your favorite

515
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 9: of plus three eighty, followed by Duke Arizona and Houston.

516
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: Oh wow. So yeah, well welcome aboard. Yeah, I'm in

517
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 4: for sure. I can't wait for that.

518
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: We got lots of audio from yesterday's PA show with

519
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: with Ko and Brazenski, which I'm excited to play because

520
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: I think there's one big thing that Bresenski said that

521
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: it's being underplayed.

522
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: I know I heard you say that earlier when you

523
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 6: got started the show, and I was like, what, what

524
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 6: would it be? Because I feel like I heard at

525
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 6: least read every quote, So I'm very intrigued.

526
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 4: Radio sees what was it about Alan Roach?

527
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 10: No?

528
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 4: Okay, is it that chair?

529
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: Like?

530
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going to be interesting because after this week

531
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 9: at the Combine, in the very few interviews that Koc

532
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 9: and Rob did, they one of them could have easily

533
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 9: just said he's our quarterback, and none of them did. No,

534
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 9: that's not the best sign. That means they're they're probably

535
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 9: up to something, and one of these names that we

536
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 9: keep hearing, including Aaron Rodgers, might be the quarterback because

537
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 9: one of them easily could have just said, yeah, he's

538
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 9: our guy. We're not he's gonna We're gonna give him

539
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 9: the best shot he has. He's working this offseason with

540
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 9: a new quarterback coach in California. He's our guy. None

541
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 9: of them did that.

542
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, they definitely have had opportunities to say that.

543
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: Now.

544
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 6: It's not like they said anything negative about him. No,

545
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 6: they said they still love him, they still feel like

546
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 6: they believe in him. It's just what did KOs say,

547
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 6: I like and so you know, they just feel like

548
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 6: he's not quite ready yet and he needs a little

549
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: bit more time. So my number one guy is Derek,

550
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 6: but that that all just depends on if if he

551
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: if he, you know, truly is healthy from that shoulder surgery,

552
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 6: if he I think mentally feels like in the right space,

553
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 6: and then you know what, what we'd have to give

554
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 6: up for him, and significantly less than trying to trade

555
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 6: for for mac Jones because he still has the Saints

556
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 6: still have the rights to him, So it's not like

557
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 6: he's just a free agent and it's like, Hey, I

558
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 6: want to come out of retirement and I'm just going

559
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 6: to be available as a free agent. Like Kirk Cousins.

560
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 6: There's a little bit of compensation that we'd have to

561
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 6: give up. But again, because Tyler Shook is the starting

562
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 6: quarterback in New Orleans, there's no reason to hang on

563
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 6: to him for a high ransom, So they'll give him

564
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 6: up for something.

565
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 7: It just depends on what it is.

566
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: Is it possible that them not handing him the job,

567
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: not saying he's our guy is because they've found out

568
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: over two years with him, but that's not the best

569
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: approach with JJ.

570
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 6: Well, it's very possible, I mean, question the psychological game

571
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 6: that is played with a lot of players. Is it's real,

572
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 6: and you know that could be the way that they are,

573
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 6: you know, following through with what they're saying internally, is like, well,

574
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 6: we have to talk like this publicly as well for

575
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: him to get the true message.

576
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 7: Even if deep deep, deep, deep deep.

577
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 6: Down inside they feel like he's going to win the

578
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 6: starting job and they want him to win the starting job.

579
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 6: It's it's quite the ruse, and I'm all for it. Yeah,

580
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I think I think he use psychological warfare

581
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 6: whenever you can, you know, as long as obviously it's

582
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 6: not too negatively detrimental to the mental health of the athlete.

583
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 6: Finding what they call buttons to push is part of

584
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: being a.

585
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: Coach, perhaps a complacency is not a good spot for him.

586
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 9: Correct, Yeah, is somebody like Derek Carr. I mean, I

587
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 9: think I'm answering my own question by asking it. But

588
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 9: he is not somebody who would just be named the starter.

589
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 6: I mean, given the fact that he took a year off,

590
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: it would it would fall in line with the sort

591
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 6: of what Hawk is talking about, where no, this is

592
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 6: going to be a true competition, wink wink. You know,

593
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 6: so I do think that he would have to compete

594
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 6: because they would have to see mentally, you know, taking

595
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 6: a year off, is he processing all the speed and

596
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 6: all that other stuff properly? Is he you know, is

597
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 6: he looking at a B flow defense and ots and

598
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 6: mini camp and is just like completely swamped and starting

599
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 6: from just ground zero, Then then that's a problem. Then

600
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 6: I think it's it's a real competition. But if he

601
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 6: comes in and he has that still that veteran presence

602
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 6: and that leadership and that veteran experience, then I think

603
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 6: it's basically his job for at least one year, and

604
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 6: then you just let JJ just kind of sit and

605
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 6: watch and see how a pro, a true pro does it.

606
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,719
Speaker 6: And if he's as even close to being successful as

607
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 6: Sam Darnold, then then maybe you've got some bigger questions

608
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 6: to answer after next season. But you know, I I

609
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 6: definitely i'd put him in that category. More of have

610
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 6: to compete. But if it is a guy like Kirk Cousins,

611
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 6: if it is a guy like Aaron Rodgers, if it

612
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 6: is a guy like you have to trade a bunch

613
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 6: of assets for Mac Jones, Unfortunately, I think that is

614
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 6: one of those like this is our starter JJ.

615
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 7: Just basically push as much as you can.

616
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: Ye Is it possible that we are forgetting one name

617
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: and overlooking one name that was already on our roster,

618
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: or at least was last year.

619
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you guys. I

620
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 6: was happy with Wentz. Yeah, I was happy with Wentz

621
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 6: for the most part.

622
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: I think.

623
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 6: I think there's some mobility issues, you know, certainly I

624
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 6: want to give him the benefit of the doubt. You know,

625
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 6: he came in and basically got thrown into the fire.

626
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 6: And what we've understood about this this offense is now

627
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 6: we've seen this offense get pared down and get simplified.

628
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 6: But I think when it wants to run at full speed,

629
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 6: it is a complicated offense to pick up, especially when

630
00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 6: you've got receivers that play every position. So it wasn't

631
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 6: fair to him that that sample size that we saw

632
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 6: from him last year was completely fair and accurate.

633
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 7: I mean, look, we're.

634
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 6: Looking to give JJ years to develop in this offense,

635
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 6: so we got to do at least something similar and

636
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 6: same to these veteran quarterbacks.

637
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 7: So I think it's definitely an option.

638
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 6: I think that they will probably see if he can

639
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 6: he wants to come back, and what kind of deal

640
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: that looks like. But I don't know if I would

641
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 6: see him as the best viable starter for US right now.

642
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: I really detest basketball. Okay, just lay that out there,

643
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: number two. So I realize that right now I don't

644
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: have much else to care about when it comes to

645
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: sports besides hockey and now the Olympic Server. Sure, so

646
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: I probably looked way too deep into yesterday's two interviews,

647
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: but when.

648
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 15: I heard this, to me, that is a veteran quarterback

649
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 15: that has done a lot of things at a high

650
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 15: level throughout his career and ultimately was impactful for US.

651
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 15: Wish we could have had Carson available and healthy all

652
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 15: season long, but he absolutely is a guy that you

653
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 15: know made our quarterback room better even with his late arrival,

654
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 15: and definitely somebody that we're thinking about.

655
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: He mentioned him yesterday and my immediate thought, going Sherlock

656
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: Holmes on the bed, I can't help it, man, was

657
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: did KO walk up to Piango, Hey, did me a favor?

658
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 1: Ask me about Carson Wentz Hm.

659
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: I don't think. I don't think he operates like that.

660
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 9: Okay, the way he said it right there sounds like

661
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 9: he wanted him to play all seasons.

662
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: And the thing is he didn't have training camp with us. Yeah,

663
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: so he couldn't have been more green to this system.

664
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: And if he's healthy, maybe he is a guy that's

665
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: more of an option than we think he is.

666
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

667
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 7: No, I mean he could be.

668
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: You know, it's like one of those things like maybe

669
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: the best thing in your life is the one that's

670
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: right in your face and it's like the closest thing

671
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: to you, but we constantly overlook it.

672
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 10: I know.

673
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 6: It's we're always thinking the grass is green. So we're

674
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 6: looking at like, oh, look at these other veterans that

675
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 6: we could have, And you know, I know we've talked

676
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 6: about Kyler Murray and I've told you how I feel about.

677
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 7: That whole situation.

678
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 6: But like we're always casting our gaze away and you know,

679
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 6: maybe when we boil it down, it's like, no, we

680
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 6: we just can focus on the guys that we kind

681
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 6: of already have in the building or potentially bring back

682
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 6: into the building, and maybe he's the guy. I still

683
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 6: think that in that scenario, we're still looking at a

684
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 6: decent backup number three to really compete as well.

685
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: They take a flyer in the draft?

686
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 7: Yeah no, maybe yeah, why not?

687
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: Why not? I mean, what do you got to know?

688
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 4: I think that somebody there are a lot.

689
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 6: Of gms out there that always say, like you always

690
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 6: take a quarterback every every draft, you know, whether it's

691
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 6: the you know, sixth seventh round quarterback, just just take

692
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 6: him because you just never know.

693

Speaker 1: You ready.

745
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 4: Gone else?

746
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 3: Oh?

747
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: I thought the undersold thing was the Carson wentz angle.

748
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: You got something else completely? Oh, he's got something else

749
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: completely completely. I was saving it for this moment, one

750
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 2: shining moment, great song.

751
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: So put on my Sherlock Holmes hat, the pipe in

752
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: my mouth, stuffed the cucumber in my pants, geez, and

753
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: went back to inspecting yesterday's interview, specifically the one with

754
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: pape Ursage and our vice president of football operations, Robbers

755
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: and Ski. And they asked him his thoughts on building

756
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: the team. And I thought to myself that what he

757
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: just said, that's the reason quasy is no longer a

758
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: part of our process. Listen to his answer. Pete says, Rob,

759
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: what is your thought process on building the team?

760
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 10: And Rob says, you have to build through the draft,

761
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 10: so be draft develop, retain your core supplement a free agency,

762
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 10: but you also have to find players that are Minnesota

763
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 10: Vikings fits.

764
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 11: From an intangible standpoint, I think those are the key tenants.

765
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 11: And then from there you have to have guardrails in

766
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 11: place to make good decisions and to stack good decisions

767
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 11: and not try to force something that's not there. You know,

768
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 11: you see that happen a lot because there's this desperation

769
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 11: to fill holes and needs and make things happen. Well,

770
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 11: if it's not there, you can't do that. You just

771
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 11: have to If you stack good decisions, then ultimately you

772
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 11: will have built a team because we're not picking players

773
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 11: right where we're building a team.

774
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: I believe there is so much to unpack.

775
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, ye, thank you for your honesty, thank you.

776
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: Good job, cucumbers work.

777
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's interesting because there's like there's a little

778
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 6: bit of just sort of well, that's kind of an

779
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 6: obvious answer, but it's I think I think it's just

780
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 6: the way that he says it and how quickly it's like, no,

781
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 6: this is how we're supposed to do it, Like, let's

782
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 6: we need to make It's almost like, no, we need

783
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 6: to make a correction, like this is this is how

784
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 6: you approach the draft, and this is how we're going

785
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 6: to do it.

786
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: In the first part of it's honestly stating the obvious. Right,

787
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: in every sports league, you have to build through the draft.

788
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: So that's why even though Quasy hit a handful of

789
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 2: home runs and free agency, all of us were frustrated

790
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: with his drafting because it was just not sustainable. You

791
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: can't do that for five or ten years where you're

792
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 2: just not getting young, cheap talent. We were overpaying veteran

793
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: players that were coming off of injuries or hoping they

794
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 2: were coming off of injuries. That you can you can

795
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 2: have lightning in a bottle, right, you can strike once,

796
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 2: but that's just not sustainable. Everybody knows that. And I

797
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 2: did love how blunt Rob just said, yeah, like, no,

798
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: you got to build through the draft.

799
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 4: That's number one.

800
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 2: It's obvious. But he's right, and that one hundred percent

801
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 2: that's why Quaysy's gone.

802
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 6: Couldn't draft Yeah, yeah, go ah, oh, I was gonna

803
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 6: say it, and even even I mean, all of it

804
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 6: is important, right, I mean, you got to find the

805
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 6: right players in the draft that fit the Vikings culture,

806
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 6: the current Vikings culture and all that stuff, but so

807
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 6: much of these players and coaches marrying together is the

808
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 6: development part.

809
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 7: Is you know, you can find a Kyle.

810
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 6: Hamilton and let's see, I'm not saying that he wasn't

811
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 6: great from the first day that he got to the Ravens,

812
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 6: but like you watch his development throughout the last couple

813
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 6: of years, and it's like that's the most important piece.

814
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 6: Is like not only do you find the guy that

815
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 6: fits he can play right away, but then you have

816
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 6: to develop him throughout. That's such a huge thing because

817
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 6: these guys are so young and there's still so much

818
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 6: to learn coming from the college game that it really

819
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 6: all is important. And you know, it's not just about

820
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 6: getting the guy here and evaluating and all that stuff

821
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 6: for the last four months. It's it's also like, what

822
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 6: are you going to do with the guy when he

823
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 6: gets here? And I also love the fact that he

824
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 6: said and and I don't know if this is just

825
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 6: with all drafts, but certainly I think with this draft

826
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 6: and sauce. You you understand this as much as anybody

827
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 6: that where we sit right now at eighteen, it might

828
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 6: just come down to best available players, that's it.

829
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 7: So if you have a need at cornerback, maybe the.

830
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 6: Old thought process is, well, we have to fill it

831
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 6: with the cornerback because that's the need. And it's like, well,

832
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 6: we don't need to get the fourth best cornerback in

833
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 6: the draft when we have the number one running back,

834
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 6: defensive tackle, tight end, you know, maybe number two receiver,

835
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 6: you know.

836
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 9: So it's like, let's just get the best player available.

837
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 9: That should be the philosophy going forward for that eighteenth

838
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 9: overall pick.

839
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: And they didn't do that.

840
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 9: They would just force needs in like the first draft,

841
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 9: they needed a safety, so they took the second best one,

842
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 9: who turned out he's not even in the league anymore.

843
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 9: And then they traded with the Packers. They needed a

844
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 9: corner so they took Andrew Booth. I don't think he's

845
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 9: in the league anymore. So when you force needs, the

846
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 9: two best picks the Viking have ever made in their

847
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 9: history were in ninety eight when they took Randy Moss.

848
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 9: They had two superstar wide receivers. In O seven, they

849
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 9: had Chester Taylor coming off maybe the best year of

850
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 9: his career, and they took Adrian Peterson and both of

851
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 9: those picks almost almost. It's the Vikings got us to

852
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 9: a super Bowl. You always that was Denny Green's philosophy.

853
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 9: Always take best player available, always, and it's and it's

854
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 9: helped out.

855
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 4: I mean, you look at like the Seahawks, that's basically

856
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 4: what they've done. Just take the best guy whoever they have,

857
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what position, take him. You can good football players.

858
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 6: You can find the spot for m Yeah, and that

859
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 6: should actually you know, as I was throwing out the

860
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 6: list of positions that we feel like we need, then

861
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 6: you throw in an edge guy. Yes, you know, and

862
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 6: if you feel like the best player on the board

863
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 6: at eighteen is an edge guy, but you feel like that,

864
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 6: we're sitting pretty good at edge.

865
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

866
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 6: But now we're building assets, correct, you know, Now we're

867
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 6: building like, well, could one of these guys move a

868
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 6: different position? Could we just bolster our defensive front distant total,

869
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 6: not just looking at edges or just a defensive tackles

870
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 6: and silos? Can they play multiple positions? Do we trade

871
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 6: a guy all of a sudden? Now, do we trade

872
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 6: a guy on the second or third day of the

873
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 6: draft and get another guy.

874
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 3: You know.

875
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 7: So that is the reason why I think you do

876
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 7: go with best player available.

877
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 4: And they're in a.

878
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 9: Situation where, you know, when you don't draft well, and

879
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 9: then you try and sign all these free agents, the

880
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 9: top four free agents they signed last year, Hardgrave, Jonathan Allen,

881
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 9: Will Fries, and Ryan Kelly. Three out of the four

882
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 9: of them will probably not be on the team this year.

883
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 9: That's that's terrible. That's why then you maybe start to

884
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 9: reach for draft picks and players, but you can't. You

885
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 9: got to take the best player available at pick eighteen.

886
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's why with that sound bite Brazinski was talking,

887
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 6: you supplement with free agency. Yes, you don't go with

888
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 6: the ethos that you build through free agency because of

889
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 6: things that just like that happens, like where three of

890
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 6: our four free agents may not be I mean, I

891
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 6: would probably put it more like it two. But what

892
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 6: half of your guys from last year are not even

893
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 6: gonna be on the team. Yeah, Like that's a failure

894
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 6: right there in last year's free agency.

895
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: I mean, because you had to fill holes because the

896
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: draft didn't work.

897
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: The draft didn't work, and now that.

898
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 9: The hot rumor coming out of the combine was they're

899
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 9: going to try and trade Hardgrave, but you would probably

900
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 9: have to attach pain some of that money down. Yeah,

901
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 9: Like the Niners already are with him. I think he's

902
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 9: still part of his pay is still on their books.

903
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 9: Good for him, Yeah, yeah, yeah, good for his Out

904
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 9: of those two, sorry, Ben, which two do you think

905
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 9: will be gone? Well, I think it'll be It'll be

906
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 9: Hardgrave and it'll be Ryan Kelly. Yeah, yeah, I can

907
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 9: see Jonathan Allen coming back. Yeah, because I think if

908
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 9: they cut him they only save and only but I

909
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 9: think they only save like three millions, so it's almost

910
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 9: worth just keeping him on the team.

911
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

912
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 6: See Hardgrave, we would save eleven million, we'd save eleven million.

913
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do that in a second.

914
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 9: What about the other and I'm sorry, I mean to

915
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 9: take over your bit, but what about the bit about TJ.

916
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 9: Howkinson And people are saying they might just redo his deal.

917
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 6: Well, he's I think twenty one against the cap. You

918
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 6: would save eight point eight if you if you cut him,

919
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 6: I mean it's possible. Again, when you restructure, you're basically

920
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 6: just kicking financial responsibility down the road. I think it's

921
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 6: probably makes a little bit more sense given the fact

922
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 6: that he's maybe not the most dynamic tight end that

923
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 6: we thought he was going to be, especially coming off

924
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 6: the injury. I feel like it's one of those things

925
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 6: is to like just keep it clean, just just let

926
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 6: him go, let him test free agency.

927
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 7: You just kind of you start fresh at that position.

928
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 7: It's kind of my my approach.

929
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 2: Well said, they're doing it again on ESPN. Oh coreyt,

930
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is my new yep, yep, this

931
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 2: is my new trigger. This is your new T shirt

932
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: WWE and so not just ww IT.

933
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 7: I get it.

934
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: They have the whatever the partnership they're promoting it, but

935
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: they discuss it like it's a sporting event that can

936
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: be predicted correct in the when you're actually watching the show,

937
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 2: that's exactly what the host should be doing, right.

938
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 4: That's it's the bit. They have to lean all the

939
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 4: way in on the bit and pretend like it's real.

940
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 4: That's the bit. We all get it.

941
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 2: We've all known that that bits great, that's half the fun.

942
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 2: But when Mike Greenberg's saying things like, so, what does

943
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: so and so have to do to win on Saturday?

944
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 4: Are we kidding?

945
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: That's that is ridiculous. And I gotta tell you, if

946
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: they had us do that on this show, I would

947
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: raise hell.

948
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.

949
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: They're making him pretend. You gotta believe he hates it.

950
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, this guy, Joe Tessa Tour used to do

951
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 9: Monday Night Football, and.

952
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 2: Again, if he does, if he does WWE when he's

953
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: actually doing the broadcast, be all in, be the heel,

954
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: do the bit. But if somebody's waking up and go, man,

955
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: I wonder if the Spurs won last night, did Wenby

956
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: win again?

957
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 4: And they're going, what does Cody Roads need to do

958
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: with the elimination Chamber to win? I don't know read

959
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 4: the script? Well played? Oh god cares I am?

960
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 3: Man?

961
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: I know they're going online because you put a lot

962
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: of money blah blah blah blah. I do think that's

963
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: a very weird move, very weird. It's it's very different.

964
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 2: Than having Cody Road done going hey man, elimination Chamber

965
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: on Saturday. It's gonna be awesome promoting it. Sure you

966
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 2: have a partnership debating it and analyzing it like what's

967
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: gonna happen?

968
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 4: Oh boy, I think that's a weird move. Yeah, that's

969
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 4: rock bottom free ESPN and it's daily and it is

970
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 4: almost dangerous.

971
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: And maybe I'm being silly, but I think it makes

972
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: you look clownish. Yeah, I think it makes it look

973
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 1: like you take your real job less seriously.

974
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, honestly, in the the next Batman movie that

975
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 2: comes out in like a year and a half, what

976
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: do you think Batman has to do to make sure

977
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 2: that the Joker doesn't rise up and flip Gotham on the.

978
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 9: Head cat that Yeah, I think he's got a RKO someone.

979
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 3: Are you sure?

980
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: Like, how devastating would it be to the Wayne like

981
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 2: legacy if he takes a couple of l's against the Joker?

982
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 4: It'd be tough, be tough to see. But I think L. A.

983
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 4: Knight's gonna show up, his musical start playing, and he'll

984
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 4: run out.

985
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 2: Do you think Robert Pattinson has the ability to pull

986
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: this off or not? I mean, I hope should he

987
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: just read the script and see if he's gonna win?

988
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 4: Yeah? Correct?

989
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 3: Weird? Weird.

990
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: The promotions promotions were day almost daily every day.

991
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 9: It's they act like it's real life, like who's gonna

992
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,760
Speaker 9: win in Game of Thrones?

993
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,440
