1
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706
Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the

2
00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:24,866
Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's Up, everybody, Welcome to

3
00:00:24,946 --> 00:00:28,226
Speaker 1: the Season with Peter Schreger. I am Peter Schreger. I'm

4
00:00:28,306 --> 00:00:35,026
Speaker 1: joined by my dear sad I guess producer Aaron Wangkoff.

5
00:00:35,106 --> 00:00:37,106
Speaker 1: Ban I say sad, He's not always sad. He's actually

6
00:00:37,106 --> 00:00:39,186
Speaker 1: a light and it's a wonderful joy to work with.

7
00:00:39,306 --> 00:00:42,786
Speaker 1: But Aaron, the Bill's season, it was a miracle run.

8
00:00:42,826 --> 00:00:47,906
Speaker 1: You're a diehard Bills fan. We haven't chatted directly since

9
00:00:47,946 --> 00:00:50,466
Speaker 1: the loss. Your quick takeaways, then I'll take it from here.

10
00:00:51,066 --> 00:00:54,146
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's sad, as a is a great word for it.

11
00:00:55,506 --> 00:01:00,506
Speaker 2: You know, it's like we need the perfect season and

12
00:01:00,586 --> 00:01:04,746
Speaker 2: we always run into this wall. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

13
00:01:05,626 --> 00:01:08,186
Speaker 2: It sucks to sit there. And like this whole season,

14
00:01:09,186 --> 00:01:11,986
Speaker 2: Kansas City was not great. They seemed like they were

15
00:01:12,026 --> 00:01:13,946
Speaker 2: a little weak. It seemed like the magic had finally

16
00:01:14,026 --> 00:01:17,186
Speaker 2: run out. The receivers weren't working, Kelsey was slowing down,

17
00:01:17,946 --> 00:01:21,546
Speaker 2: and then we just couldn't stop him. You know, Diggs

18
00:01:21,866 --> 00:01:25,546
Speaker 2: didn't look like a wide receiver. Won the past six

19
00:01:25,666 --> 00:01:30,506
Speaker 2: seven weeks, eight weeks whatever. Bills fans I know are

20
00:01:31,066 --> 00:01:34,586
Speaker 2: are excited. There's a silver lining with like loving Shakir,

21
00:01:35,186 --> 00:01:41,946
Speaker 2: loving Dalton Kincaid, but yeah, it's tough. I mean, I

22
00:01:41,986 --> 00:01:44,146
Speaker 2: don't know. It seems like a fitting end for the

23
00:01:44,186 --> 00:01:45,946
Speaker 2: Bill season, but yeah, it sucks.

24
00:01:45,946 --> 00:01:48,546
Speaker 1: It's sad. I feel bad for you. And it's one

25
00:01:48,586 --> 00:01:51,346
Speaker 1: of those where it's like if not now when you

26
00:01:51,466 --> 00:01:56,226
Speaker 1: had you had the home field. Finally you had this

27
00:01:56,306 --> 00:01:58,906
Speaker 1: situation where you're coming into this thing and you're the

28
00:01:58,946 --> 00:02:03,106
Speaker 1: hot team. But then I look at it and it's like,

29
00:02:04,026 --> 00:02:08,666
Speaker 1: still had your chances. Yeah, yeah, still Josh was awesome.

30
00:02:09,586 --> 00:02:13,546
Speaker 1: But I just don't know, Like, here's the untold story

31
00:02:13,546 --> 00:02:15,826
Speaker 1: about this, and I think this is not you know,

32
00:02:15,826 --> 00:02:20,706
Speaker 1: everyone looks at numbers and stats and salary cap. Players

33
00:02:20,746 --> 00:02:24,426
Speaker 1: will play where they are paid most handsomely, and they

34
00:02:24,426 --> 00:02:28,266
Speaker 1: don't necessarily look at all the factors that go into

35
00:02:28,306 --> 00:02:31,666
Speaker 1: living in a place. But if it's apples to apples,

36
00:02:32,346 --> 00:02:34,746
Speaker 1: it's hard to get free agents to choose to play

37
00:02:34,746 --> 00:02:39,946
Speaker 1: in places like Green Bay and Buffalo and Detroit as

38
00:02:39,986 --> 00:02:46,826
Speaker 1: opposed to a Jacksonville, a Miami and Atlanta. Players want

39
00:02:46,826 --> 00:02:49,946
Speaker 1: to be in warm weather. Players want to be where

40
00:02:50,146 --> 00:02:53,986
Speaker 1: they can live year round, so you already have that

41
00:02:54,106 --> 00:02:56,866
Speaker 1: uphill battle. I think they went big on von Miller,

42
00:02:56,906 --> 00:03:00,706
Speaker 1: which has been the greatest signing. Yeah, he wasn't himself

43
00:03:00,706 --> 00:03:02,466
Speaker 1: this year. They're still on the hook for that. Gabe

44
00:03:02,546 --> 00:03:06,066
Speaker 1: Davis is a free agent. Aj Epenez is a free agent.

45
00:03:06,626 --> 00:03:10,186
Speaker 1: Micah Hide's a free agent. Like every year you're gonna have,

46
00:03:10,866 --> 00:03:13,306
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be these same guys coming back. So

47
00:03:13,386 --> 00:03:17,586
Speaker 1: I do think you can feel different this offseason as

48
00:03:17,586 --> 00:03:20,546
Speaker 1: you did other off seasons with the Bills, because it

49
00:03:20,666 --> 00:03:23,666
Speaker 1: does feel like this chapter is behind of closing and

50
00:03:23,706 --> 00:03:26,506
Speaker 1: now to get all up again about the Bills this offseason.

51
00:03:26,546 --> 00:03:29,986
Speaker 1: And Alan has been number one on the NFL one hundred.

52
00:03:30,066 --> 00:03:33,106
Speaker 1: He has had the Madden covers, he has had the

53
00:03:33,186 --> 00:03:36,426
Speaker 1: golf experiences with Rogers and Mahomes and Brady, He's been

54
00:03:36,426 --> 00:03:38,946
Speaker 1: in that conversation and it's like, all right, well we

55
00:03:39,026 --> 00:03:41,506
Speaker 1: lost in a division around again and it's like back

56
00:03:41,546 --> 00:03:44,066
Speaker 1: to the drawing board. It's tough. It's tough to at

57
00:03:44,186 --> 00:03:47,106
Speaker 1: least now fourty eight hours removed, but I would even

58
00:03:48,866 --> 00:03:51,626
Speaker 1: I hate being so this is so down to start

59
00:03:51,666 --> 00:03:54,466
Speaker 1: what should be an exciting championship weekend podcast with this

60
00:03:54,866 --> 00:04:00,706
Speaker 1: the Bills stuff. Dan Fouts is a Hall of Fame quarterback,

61
00:04:01,226 --> 00:04:04,386
Speaker 1: an all time legend, he never made a Super Bowl.

62
00:04:04,786 --> 00:04:08,626
Speaker 1: Warren Moon is an all time NFL quarterback who had

63
00:04:08,946 --> 00:04:12,466
Speaker 1: many playoff appearances, he just never made the playoffs in

64
00:04:12,546 --> 00:04:16,746
Speaker 1: every super Bowl. And Philip Rivers, of course, is probably

65
00:04:16,746 --> 00:04:19,226
Speaker 1: destined to go to the Hall of Fame and he

66
00:04:19,306 --> 00:04:23,186
Speaker 1: never went to the Super Bowl. Sometimes it just doesn't happen,

67
00:04:23,226 --> 00:04:27,386
Speaker 1: I know, you know, it takes a long career and

68
00:04:27,466 --> 00:04:29,266
Speaker 1: a lot of bucks and bruises before a lot of

69
00:04:29,306 --> 00:04:32,186
Speaker 1: these guys do get to hoist at Lombardi. And you know,

70
00:04:32,226 --> 00:04:33,986
Speaker 1: in the case of John Elway, he waited till he

71
00:04:34,026 --> 00:04:35,866
Speaker 1: was like thirty eight or thirty nine, but at least

72
00:04:35,866 --> 00:04:40,306
Speaker 1: he went to five. You know, I think it's tough.

73
00:04:40,226 --> 00:04:43,786
Speaker 2: To with the other three teams that lost this weekend,

74
00:04:44,266 --> 00:04:47,466
Speaker 2: the Packers and the Texans, they they're nothing but bright

75
00:04:47,546 --> 00:04:50,506
Speaker 2: road ahead of them, like they were working ahead of time.

76
00:04:51,066 --> 00:04:53,186
Speaker 2: The Bucks, this was supposed to be kind of a

77
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:56,266
Speaker 2: down year. They're getting their cap in order. We were

78
00:04:56,306 --> 00:05:00,186
Speaker 2: the team that we're going into this offseason. Some I

79
00:05:00,226 --> 00:05:03,386
Speaker 2: think it's like forty plus million over the cap. We

80
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:07,386
Speaker 2: were losing a bunch of creagents potentially, So it does.

81
00:05:07,626 --> 00:05:10,666
Speaker 2: It feels in the context of everyone else that lost

82
00:05:11,666 --> 00:05:14,906
Speaker 2: that you could still be really excited for next year

83
00:05:14,946 --> 00:05:18,346
Speaker 2: with them, and we'll be excited about the Bills next year.

84
00:05:18,346 --> 00:05:20,626
Speaker 1: I yes, I mean once football's back and you're you're

85
00:05:20,666 --> 00:05:23,746
Speaker 1: there watching training camp and Josh is smiling, and I'd

86
00:05:23,786 --> 00:05:28,106
Speaker 1: like to think so, but gosh, Tampa Bay. So I

87
00:05:28,146 --> 00:05:29,906
Speaker 1: want to take some time in the podcast to go

88
00:05:30,026 --> 00:05:35,146
Speaker 1: through this. Tampa Bay's down eight points. Baker Mayfield gets

89
00:05:35,186 --> 00:05:37,226
Speaker 1: the ball with a little bit more than a minute

90
00:05:37,266 --> 00:05:39,746
Speaker 1: left to go through. It's an interception to Derek Barnes

91
00:05:40,426 --> 00:05:43,986
Speaker 1: and the Lions have the ball and the Buccaneers have

92
00:05:44,066 --> 00:05:47,106
Speaker 1: one time out left. This is a crazy thing that

93
00:05:47,226 --> 00:05:51,146
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend that is not getting enough dialogue,

94
00:05:51,306 --> 00:05:53,946
Speaker 1: especially on the national shows and on the national scale.

95
00:05:53,946 --> 00:05:55,866
Speaker 1: But we're going to tackle it here because if you

96
00:05:55,906 --> 00:05:58,306
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, you live and breathe football, and

97
00:05:58,386 --> 00:06:01,906
Speaker 1: game management stuff comes up with every interview with every

98
00:06:01,986 --> 00:06:05,306
Speaker 1: coach or every GM or every president that we interview

99
00:06:05,826 --> 00:06:08,226
Speaker 1: game manager and it's such a key thing. And I'm

100
00:06:08,266 --> 00:06:11,626
Speaker 1: still scratching my head as we record this on Tuesday morning.

101
00:06:11,666 --> 00:06:14,346
Speaker 1: So it's a Sunday afternoon at this at the stage,

102
00:06:14,386 --> 00:06:17,946
Speaker 1: there's like forty five seconds remaining. The Buccaneers have a timeout.

103
00:06:17,946 --> 00:06:21,666
Speaker 1: It's third and twelve for the Lions, and everyone's ready

104
00:06:21,666 --> 00:06:23,306
Speaker 1: for them just to bleed the clock and take a

105
00:06:23,386 --> 00:06:27,586
Speaker 1: knee for whatever reason. With nineteen seconds on the play clock,

106
00:06:29,066 --> 00:06:33,306
Speaker 1: Frank Ragnow and Jared Goff hike the ball and take

107
00:06:33,346 --> 00:06:37,546
Speaker 1: a knee. And now there's a time out left. It's

108
00:06:37,666 --> 00:06:42,306
Speaker 1: fourth down and twelve, and everyone from the buccaneer's sideline

109
00:06:42,346 --> 00:06:45,306
Speaker 1: is flooding the field to shake hands, and Todd Bowles

110
00:06:45,346 --> 00:06:49,466
Speaker 1: is already at midfield shaking Dan Campbell's hand. With twenty

111
00:06:49,506 --> 00:06:53,386
Speaker 1: five seconds left, twenty four seconds left, twenty three, twenty two,

112
00:06:53,906 --> 00:06:56,466
Speaker 1: Todd Bulls is out there shaking hands, and no one's

113
00:06:56,506 --> 00:06:58,706
Speaker 1: calling time out, and everyone from the Bucks is shaking

114
00:06:58,746 --> 00:07:01,786
Speaker 1: the Lion's hands, and the clock just bleeds to zero.

115
00:07:01,906 --> 00:07:05,746
Speaker 1: Now in real time, I'm freaking the hell out on

116
00:07:05,786 --> 00:07:09,226
Speaker 1: my couch and I'm screaming called time out, And I

117
00:07:09,426 --> 00:07:14,946
Speaker 1: was so confused and beside myself. I just assumed NBC

118
00:07:15,106 --> 00:07:18,386
Speaker 1: had an all time production gaff and had that time

119
00:07:18,426 --> 00:07:22,586
Speaker 1: out on the screen on accident and made a mistake

120
00:07:22,786 --> 00:07:25,746
Speaker 1: because clearly there's no timeouts left. Todd Bowles would never do.

121
00:07:26,466 --> 00:07:31,146
Speaker 1: So the game ends, everyone flips over, Okay, time to

122
00:07:31,266 --> 00:07:36,386
Speaker 1: watch Chiefs Bills and I'm like, what was that? What

123
00:07:36,426 --> 00:07:38,266
Speaker 1: was that? I'm trying to find there's no real information.

124
00:07:38,666 --> 00:07:42,626
Speaker 1: Somebody asks Bulls about it. Bulls basically says it was

125
00:07:42,666 --> 00:07:46,066
Speaker 1: a it was a foregone conclusion. We were losing that

126
00:07:46,106 --> 00:07:47,906
Speaker 1: game and it was over, like we didn't want to

127
00:07:47,906 --> 00:07:50,706
Speaker 1: prolong it. I'm like, what, wait, you really had a

128
00:07:50,746 --> 00:07:53,226
Speaker 1: time out? Then they have a full night to sleep

129
00:07:53,266 --> 00:07:56,386
Speaker 1: on it. Todd Bowles has a media availability on Monday

130
00:07:56,426 --> 00:07:59,146
Speaker 1: morning and they asked him, why didn't you use that

131
00:07:59,186 --> 00:08:02,466
Speaker 1: final time out? And I can't imagine this is this

132
00:08:02,506 --> 00:08:06,626
Speaker 1: is the response that bull said in that he didn't

133
00:08:06,626 --> 00:08:09,626
Speaker 1: want to give Well, I just listen to this.

134
00:08:10,426 --> 00:08:13,466
Speaker 3: It's not a gentleman's agreement. They run field goal range.

135
00:08:13,946 --> 00:08:16,466
Speaker 3: We'd have had twelve seconds to calculate it. You after

136
00:08:16,546 --> 00:08:18,506
Speaker 3: using that time out to come back from it, then

137
00:08:18,546 --> 00:08:21,586
Speaker 3: we would have been down eleven points. It's kind of pointless.

138
00:08:21,586 --> 00:08:23,466
Speaker 3: You kind of know when the game was over and

139
00:08:24,186 --> 00:08:26,186
Speaker 3: the game was over, who.

140
00:08:26,146 --> 00:08:28,466
Speaker 1: Cares if they likely weren't going to win. You try everything.

141
00:08:28,506 --> 00:08:30,546
Speaker 1: That's why you do onside kicks. When you're down twenty one.

142
00:08:30,586 --> 00:08:32,706
Speaker 1: You do everything you possibly can to give your team

143
00:08:32,946 --> 00:08:36,266
Speaker 1: a fighting chance to win, and they opted not to.

144
00:08:36,386 --> 00:08:39,386
Speaker 1: I like Todd Bowles, this is not a Todd Bowles

145
00:08:39,426 --> 00:08:43,546
Speaker 1: specific qualm. There are so many people at fault here. One,

146
00:08:43,786 --> 00:08:46,666
Speaker 1: what are Frank Ragnow and Jared Golf doing? Why are

147
00:08:46,666 --> 00:08:48,986
Speaker 1: they hiking the ball with nineteen seconds instead of bleeding

148
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:52,426
Speaker 1: that clock all the way. Lastly, there are so many

149
00:08:52,466 --> 00:08:55,506
Speaker 1: people in that Tampa organization on the sidelines in the

150
00:08:55,546 --> 00:08:57,426
Speaker 1: box who can say to bulls, hey, you got a

151
00:08:57,466 --> 00:08:58,346
Speaker 1: time out, you gotta time out.

152
00:08:58,466 --> 00:08:58,706
Speaker 4: Use it.

153
00:08:59,346 --> 00:09:01,826
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my hand up here and say I

154
00:09:01,866 --> 00:09:04,746
Speaker 1: never coached. I've never been an offensive lineman who's been

155
00:09:04,746 --> 00:09:08,226
Speaker 1: having my knees chopped at fifty nine minutes of a game.

156
00:09:08,386 --> 00:09:11,386
Speaker 1: I've never been a defensive lineman who's had to have

157
00:09:11,426 --> 00:09:14,666
Speaker 1: the same thing happened to him. Maybe this is something

158
00:09:14,706 --> 00:09:17,266
Speaker 1: that's just a unwritten code, but like it's a one

159
00:09:17,306 --> 00:09:21,946
Speaker 1: score game, Aaron, I know that that the NFL page

160
00:09:21,946 --> 00:09:24,306
Speaker 1: turns that people move on. If I'm a Bucks fan

161
00:09:24,386 --> 00:09:27,426
Speaker 1: this morning, it is it is Tuesday morning. I am

162
00:09:27,506 --> 00:09:31,466
Speaker 1: still really really disappointed with how that thing ended, and

163
00:09:31,786 --> 00:09:34,906
Speaker 1: that my team played their asses off like Baker was awesome,

164
00:09:35,106 --> 00:09:37,746
Speaker 1: and those receivers stepped up and Kate Aughten had the

165
00:09:37,746 --> 00:09:39,986
Speaker 1: game of his life. And I don't know if they

166
00:09:40,026 --> 00:09:41,466
Speaker 1: win that game, I don't know if they tie that game,

167
00:09:41,466 --> 00:09:43,026
Speaker 1: it still to get a two pointer. It doesn't matter

168
00:09:43,746 --> 00:09:46,226
Speaker 1: the fact that we're shaking hands and conceding the game

169
00:09:46,466 --> 00:09:49,626
Speaker 1: at at that time. It really rubs me wrong and

170
00:09:49,746 --> 00:09:53,586
Speaker 1: upsets me, and I kind of am left cressfallen just

171
00:09:53,706 --> 00:09:55,586
Speaker 1: at that. Everyone in the NFL too, just kind of

172
00:09:55,586 --> 00:09:57,066
Speaker 1: being like, yeah, well, that's just what you do.

173
00:09:57,626 --> 00:10:01,666
Speaker 2: And it wasn't. This isn't Week eighteen, and Tampa's already

174
00:10:01,666 --> 00:10:03,746
Speaker 2: out of the playoffs, and it's just like, you know,

175
00:10:03,946 --> 00:10:06,306
Speaker 2: let's get our make sure our guys are healthy. They

176
00:10:06,426 --> 00:10:09,946
Speaker 2: he could have won and gone to the conference championships.

177
00:10:10,306 --> 00:10:15,626
Speaker 2: I mean, even whatever the chance, whatever the percentage chances are, Yeah,

178
00:10:15,906 --> 00:10:16,586
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.

179
00:10:17,546 --> 00:10:19,986
Speaker 1: Just I feel for those Tampa fans. Quick things before

180
00:10:20,026 --> 00:10:24,346
Speaker 1: we get to our guests. One Marquez Valdez Scantling. This

181
00:10:24,386 --> 00:10:26,026
Speaker 1: is a guy I loved when he was in Green Bay.

182
00:10:26,306 --> 00:10:28,426
Speaker 1: I loved saying his name He was a guy out

183
00:10:28,466 --> 00:10:30,666
Speaker 1: of South Florida who was always the big target threat,

184
00:10:31,226 --> 00:10:33,546
Speaker 1: the big play threat for the Green Bay Packers. He

185
00:10:33,586 --> 00:10:36,506
Speaker 1: did not have a good regular season this year. Now

186
00:10:36,546 --> 00:10:38,906
Speaker 1: he wanted to ring with the Chiefs. Last year great

187
00:10:39,066 --> 00:10:41,626
Speaker 1: had a great playoff game for them last year. This year,

188
00:10:41,666 --> 00:10:43,586
Speaker 1: did not have a good regular season. Was often the

189
00:10:43,626 --> 00:10:48,186
Speaker 1: punchline and the punching bag amongst football fans for the

190
00:10:48,266 --> 00:10:50,386
Speaker 1: Chiefs wide receivers room. You know, he dropped the pass

191
00:10:50,426 --> 00:10:54,746
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, and he had some other bad, egregious

192
00:10:54,826 --> 00:10:59,946
Speaker 1: drops this season. In the moment that mattered mvs. Marquez Valdez,

193
00:10:59,986 --> 00:11:04,546
Speaker 1: Scantling had two different thirty yard catches in Buffalo and

194
00:11:04,586 --> 00:11:07,226
Speaker 1: I could not be happier for that dude and for

195
00:11:07,306 --> 00:11:11,466
Speaker 1: that story. I love the redeeming guys. Who you know what,

196
00:11:11,706 --> 00:11:16,706
Speaker 1: would you trade a bad regular season for one epic postseason? Yes,

197
00:11:16,826 --> 00:11:19,946
Speaker 1: you always would. And I love that Andy supported him

198
00:11:19,946 --> 00:11:22,666
Speaker 1: and that Patrick went back to him. I use first

199
00:11:22,746 --> 00:11:25,186
Speaker 1: name basis on these guys because I feel like I've

200
00:11:25,186 --> 00:11:28,546
Speaker 1: been through the wreckage and through this entire season with them,

201
00:11:28,906 --> 00:11:31,106
Speaker 1: with all of the wide receiver room issues and how

202
00:11:31,186 --> 00:11:33,226
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice the rookie had to step up and be there.

203
00:11:33,306 --> 00:11:37,106
Speaker 1: Number One, Mark Quez Valdez scantling when Rice was covered

204
00:11:37,466 --> 00:11:40,826
Speaker 1: and Kelsey was covered twice in man to man situations,

205
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:43,826
Speaker 1: got open for big plays against the Bills, huge catches

206
00:11:43,866 --> 00:11:47,266
Speaker 1: for him. That's what champions are made of, which leads

207
00:11:47,266 --> 00:11:52,306
Speaker 1: to my other quote. Rudy tom Janovic used it, and

208
00:11:52,826 --> 00:11:55,466
Speaker 1: I love my MBA and Aaron. You know, I would

209
00:11:55,666 --> 00:11:59,786
Speaker 1: almost rather host an NBA show sometimes in NFL how

210
00:11:59,866 --> 00:12:02,066
Speaker 1: much I'm involved with it. And you know Bill Simmons

211
00:12:02,066 --> 00:12:04,266
Speaker 1: and I talked about the Orlando Magic to start off

212
00:12:04,986 --> 00:12:08,706
Speaker 1: Friday's podcast I did with him. Rudy tom Janovic won

213
00:12:08,946 --> 00:12:12,666
Speaker 1: title with the ninety four Rockets. They struggled out of

214
00:12:12,706 --> 00:12:14,466
Speaker 1: the gates in ninety five. They make a trade. They're

215
00:12:14,466 --> 00:12:17,466
Speaker 1: bringing Clyde Drexler. They're the sixth seed, they're the sixth

216
00:12:17,466 --> 00:12:19,666
Speaker 1: seed in the playoffs. They have to go in win

217
00:12:19,786 --> 00:12:23,466
Speaker 1: nine different road games on this playoffs run. They end

218
00:12:23,546 --> 00:12:26,946
Speaker 1: up defeating the Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals, and

219
00:12:27,186 --> 00:12:29,866
Speaker 1: in his press availability, he would be a lot more

220
00:12:29,866 --> 00:12:31,626
Speaker 1: emotional about it. But in the heat of the moment

221
00:12:31,666 --> 00:12:35,106
Speaker 1: when they hand them the Larry O'Brian Trophy, Rudy tom

222
00:12:35,186 --> 00:12:38,586
Speaker 1: Jonovich lists what his team did six seed, nine road victories,

223
00:12:38,586 --> 00:12:43,466
Speaker 1: the whole thing, and he says, don't ever, don't ever

224
00:12:44,146 --> 00:12:49,786
Speaker 1: underestimate the heart of a champion. That's what these Kansas

225
00:12:49,826 --> 00:12:53,026
Speaker 1: City Chiefs are. Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion.

226
00:12:53,146 --> 00:12:57,066
Speaker 1: All those guys stepped up. Kelsey was awesome. All the qualms,

227
00:12:57,106 --> 00:12:58,946
Speaker 1: all the worries, everything we had about the Chiefs going

228
00:12:58,986 --> 00:13:03,146
Speaker 1: into this game. They did their job. And those backups

229
00:13:03,146 --> 00:13:05,226
Speaker 1: who had to play and do big things on defense

230
00:13:05,306 --> 00:13:07,746
Speaker 1: did those big things on these And now they head

231
00:13:07,786 --> 00:13:12,146
Speaker 1: to Baltimore where they're underdogs yet again. And gosh, can

232
00:13:12,146 --> 00:13:15,226
Speaker 1: we just set the seat on this Baltimore's atmosphere, So

233
00:13:15,426 --> 00:13:18,266
Speaker 1: you've got an awesome home field M and T Bank,

234
00:13:18,306 --> 00:13:21,466
Speaker 1: which is hosting its first AFC Championship game ever. This

235
00:13:21,586 --> 00:13:25,226
Speaker 1: is the first AFC Championship game being played in the

236
00:13:25,226 --> 00:13:29,066
Speaker 1: city of Baltimore since nineteen seventy one. And Aaron, I

237
00:13:29,066 --> 00:13:32,026
Speaker 1: gotta call it like a I'm really conflicted here, all right.

238
00:13:32,746 --> 00:13:37,106
Speaker 1: My wife, Erica is from Baltimore, and she's not just

239
00:13:37,426 --> 00:13:40,746
Speaker 1: one of these, you know. I'm from Baltimore, and that's great.

240
00:13:41,386 --> 00:13:45,186
Speaker 1: Her father David, her mother Sarah, or her brother Brian

241
00:13:45,586 --> 00:13:51,546
Speaker 1: are die hard Baltimore sports fans. I'm talking season ticket

242
00:13:51,546 --> 00:13:55,906
Speaker 1: holders for the Baltimore Orioles, season ticket holders for the

243
00:13:55,946 --> 00:13:58,346
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, and well you I'd say, oh, that's nice,

244
00:13:58,386 --> 00:14:01,986
Speaker 1: that's no, these aren't. This isn't because they're ballers or anything.

245
00:14:01,986 --> 00:14:04,786
Speaker 1: This is because they put there. They put their funds

246
00:14:05,626 --> 00:14:09,426
Speaker 1: to those two teams and to Maryland sports. I'm talking

247
00:14:09,546 --> 00:14:13,586
Speaker 1: University of Maryland Terrapins too. Like they are hardcore. My

248
00:14:13,826 --> 00:14:18,706
Speaker 1: father in law has been to every Baltimore Super Bowl ever,

249
00:14:18,986 --> 00:14:22,866
Speaker 1: that includes Superbowl super Bowl three. He went to Colts

250
00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:26,066
Speaker 1: versus Jets and was there in person as a kid

251
00:14:26,106 --> 00:14:31,106
Speaker 1: watching Joe Namath beat beat Don Shula and the Colts

252
00:14:31,146 --> 00:14:32,986
Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl. And of course they've seen the

253
00:14:33,106 --> 00:14:35,826
Speaker 1: Ravens now win in two thousand in Tampa over the

254
00:14:35,826 --> 00:14:39,386
Speaker 1: Giants and twenty thirteen over the forty nine ers in

255
00:14:39,466 --> 00:14:43,066
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Of course they're going to be at the

256
00:14:43,106 --> 00:14:49,946
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. However, I have a streak going where

257
00:14:49,946 --> 00:14:52,866
Speaker 1: I have picked the correct Super Bowl champion the last

258
00:14:52,906 --> 00:14:56,786
Speaker 1: several seasons. I have a Super Bowl prediction that we

259
00:14:56,826 --> 00:14:59,346
Speaker 1: can timestamp, and you know what, let's play the clip.

260
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:03,186
Speaker 1: Let's give my Super Bowl prediction right here from right

261
00:15:03,226 --> 00:15:07,066
Speaker 1: before Week one in September. Who I picked my winners

262
00:15:07,066 --> 00:15:11,826
Speaker 1: from the NFC The San Francisco forty nine Ers. I

263
00:15:11,826 --> 00:15:14,066
Speaker 1: think they play a punishing brand of football that is

264
00:15:14,106 --> 00:15:17,506
Speaker 1: with Nick Bosa or without. I think their defense always

265
00:15:17,506 --> 00:15:20,066
Speaker 1: sets the standard. And as much as I love Demko Ryans,

266
00:15:20,066 --> 00:15:22,586
Speaker 1: I don't think they missed that much of a beat

267
00:15:23,066 --> 00:15:25,786
Speaker 1: without him. They keep ongoing. They've got young talent at

268
00:15:25,786 --> 00:15:28,066
Speaker 1: every position there and then on offense, Kyle Shanahan is

269
00:15:28,106 --> 00:15:30,306
Speaker 1: a mad genius. I think he finally has a quarterback

270
00:15:30,306 --> 00:15:33,186
Speaker 1: that can operate his offense that he believes he can

271
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,626
Speaker 1: put in trust and really get them over the hump.

272
00:15:35,746 --> 00:15:39,026
Speaker 1: He's a former mister Irrelevant and that is okay. I've

273
00:15:39,026 --> 00:15:41,506
Speaker 1: got McCaffrey as my MVP. I think Deebo has a

274
00:15:41,506 --> 00:15:43,466
Speaker 1: big year. I think Ayuk is a big year. I

275
00:15:43,506 --> 00:15:46,186
Speaker 1: think Trent Williams might going out on a swan song

276
00:15:46,226 --> 00:15:48,146
Speaker 1: here in his last couple of seasons, but I think

277
00:15:48,186 --> 00:15:50,546
Speaker 1: he's still the best tackle in the league. I am

278
00:15:50,586 --> 00:15:53,146
Speaker 1: going with the San Francisco forty nine Ers as my

279
00:15:53,306 --> 00:15:59,746
Speaker 1: team out of the NFC. As for the AFC really

280
00:15:59,906 --> 00:16:04,066
Speaker 1: really struggled with this. Yeah, I can't pick against the Chiefs.

281
00:16:05,186 --> 00:16:07,546
Speaker 1: I don't care if Chris Jones is I don't care

282
00:16:07,586 --> 00:16:10,186
Speaker 1: if Tyreek Hill's not there. I don't care if any

283
00:16:10,186 --> 00:16:12,626
Speaker 1: of those guys aren't there. I can't pick against the Chiefs.

284
00:16:12,626 --> 00:16:15,706
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have been the standard and last year was

285
00:16:15,746 --> 00:16:18,346
Speaker 1: a great lesson. I stuck with them. I pick them.

286
00:16:18,386 --> 00:16:20,106
Speaker 1: The wins Super Bowl despite losing Tyreek Hill. I think

287
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:21,266
Speaker 1: I might have been in an island on that and

288
00:16:21,306 --> 00:16:24,226
Speaker 1: that sounds wild considering how much success they have. I

289
00:16:24,306 --> 00:16:27,546
Speaker 1: will not pick against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey until

290
00:16:27,626 --> 00:16:29,666
Speaker 1: I am forced to. And I am not forced to

291
00:16:29,666 --> 00:16:31,346
Speaker 1: pick against them. They are still at the peak of

292
00:16:31,386 --> 00:16:33,226
Speaker 1: their game. I had a chance to spend time with

293
00:16:33,266 --> 00:16:36,546
Speaker 1: them this offseason at that big Slick Charity Classic, and

294
00:16:36,586 --> 00:16:38,666
Speaker 1: I was hanging with them, and I swear to god,

295
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:40,226
Speaker 1: I left that thing being like, those guys are great.

296
00:16:40,266 --> 00:16:42,346
Speaker 1: And then I talked to us some people around the league,

297
00:16:42,386 --> 00:16:43,586
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know. They seem like to

298
00:16:43,586 --> 00:16:44,786
Speaker 1: be having a little too good of a time this

299
00:16:44,866 --> 00:16:47,546
Speaker 1: offseason with the golf and this, and they are concerts

300
00:16:47,586 --> 00:16:49,386
Speaker 1: and it's like Mahomes and Kelsey are everywhere in the

301
00:16:49,426 --> 00:16:52,306
Speaker 1: podcast and you want to start turning away and then

302
00:16:52,306 --> 00:16:54,546
Speaker 1: you're like, holy crap, they're just so good. I am

303
00:16:54,586 --> 00:16:57,186
Speaker 1: going with the Chiefs. I don't know how they get there.

304
00:16:57,186 --> 00:16:58,586
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's through a one seed and

305
00:16:58,626 --> 00:17:00,906
Speaker 1: they they host all these games at Arrowhead. I don't

306
00:17:00,906 --> 00:17:02,226
Speaker 1: know if they've got to go on the road. But

307
00:17:02,746 --> 00:17:06,426
Speaker 1: like I said, if it's one of those deals, eyes

308
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:08,626
Speaker 1: will not deceive me. And if there's a fourth quarter

309
00:17:08,706 --> 00:17:10,186
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes needs to get it done in a

310
00:17:10,186 --> 00:17:12,106
Speaker 1: big spot, he has gotten it done every single time,

311
00:17:12,386 --> 00:17:14,346
Speaker 1: I'm going with Kansas City. Now, this was a Super

312
00:17:14,346 --> 00:17:16,586
Speaker 1: Bowl a few years back in Miami. We go from

313
00:17:16,586 --> 00:17:18,626
Speaker 1: one party city to the next. We go to Vegas.

314
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:24,666
Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers versus Chiefs, the Super Bowl champions for

315
00:17:24,786 --> 00:17:28,186
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on CBS. Drum roll,

316
00:17:28,226 --> 00:17:34,146
Speaker 1: please aeron. The Kansas City Chiefs will be your first

317
00:17:34,186 --> 00:17:36,506
Speaker 1: back to back Super Bowl champion winners since the New

318
00:17:36,506 --> 00:17:38,506
Speaker 1: England Patriots did it in two thousand and three and

319
00:17:38,586 --> 00:17:41,146
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. I am going with the Chiefs.

320
00:17:42,026 --> 00:17:44,746
Speaker 1: I love what they are all about. I love that

321
00:17:44,786 --> 00:17:47,146
Speaker 1: people are doubting them, and I love the fact that

322
00:17:47,226 --> 00:17:51,746
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Kelsey are ready to go. And so then

323
00:17:51,826 --> 00:17:55,506
Speaker 1: last week I go on Bill Simmons' podcast and I'm

324
00:17:55,746 --> 00:17:58,946
Speaker 1: coming in there full of gust, though, and that thing

325
00:17:59,066 --> 00:18:02,266
Speaker 1: is a monster. It's got millions of listeners in them.

326
00:18:02,706 --> 00:18:05,746
Speaker 1: Bill's are underdogs, and I say, pick the Chiefs out right, Bill,

327
00:18:06,546 --> 00:18:09,426
Speaker 1: the Chiefs out Right. And then I go on Good

328
00:18:09,426 --> 00:18:12,706
Speaker 1: Morning Football on Friday and I give this amazing the

329
00:18:13,026 --> 00:18:16,786
Speaker 1: emotional soliloquy slash monologue about how the city of Kansas

330
00:18:16,826 --> 00:18:19,506
Speaker 1: City has adopted me in so many ways and has

331
00:18:19,546 --> 00:18:21,586
Speaker 1: brought me in and has made me feel like one

332
00:18:21,586 --> 00:18:23,506
Speaker 1: of them. And I do the charity event big Slick

333
00:18:23,546 --> 00:18:25,986
Speaker 1: with them, and gosh, I'm not from Kansas City, but

334
00:18:26,666 --> 00:18:29,586
Speaker 1: this Chief's ride has been incredible. And I'm gonna dance

335
00:18:30,266 --> 00:18:34,106
Speaker 1: with the guys who took me to the dance, and

336
00:18:34,106 --> 00:18:36,466
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ride with the Chiefs all the way through

337
00:18:36,506 --> 00:18:38,906
Speaker 1: and through, no matter who the opponent is. And they

338
00:18:38,946 --> 00:18:41,546
Speaker 1: win and I get no personal joy out of that.

339
00:18:41,666 --> 00:18:45,066
Speaker 1: I think it's cool when I pixe right, but I

340
00:18:45,106 --> 00:18:48,106
Speaker 1: really believe it. I really believe that they are still champions.

341
00:18:48,106 --> 00:18:50,346
Speaker 1: And until you beat the champion. I can't pick against

342
00:18:50,346 --> 00:18:56,266
Speaker 1: the champion, So now it comes to a head Chiefs personally,

343
00:18:57,066 --> 00:18:58,906
Speaker 1: I have a lot of a lot of ties to

344
00:18:58,946 --> 00:19:01,386
Speaker 1: that team. Right now, my chips are on the table.

345
00:19:01,666 --> 00:19:04,026
Speaker 1: I have put my name on it. I believe that

346
00:19:04,026 --> 00:19:06,426
Speaker 1: they are gonna be the Super Bowl champions this year.

347
00:19:06,506 --> 00:19:08,186
Speaker 1: I still believe in them. My Homes has been great

348
00:19:08,226 --> 00:19:10,146
Speaker 1: for my career because I was early and on him

349
00:19:10,186 --> 00:19:12,386
Speaker 1: and he's been super nice to me. And long before

350
00:19:12,466 --> 00:19:15,546
Speaker 1: Kelsey was with Taylor Swift or long before Kelsey was

351
00:19:15,546 --> 00:19:19,266
Speaker 1: this international superstar, Kelsey was a guy that I would

352
00:19:19,266 --> 00:19:21,626
Speaker 1: talk too often. And I really like what Kelsey's up to,

353
00:19:21,666 --> 00:19:24,826
Speaker 1: and of course Andy Reid is so special. I believe

354
00:19:24,866 --> 00:19:29,306
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will win on Sunday. However, I'm going to

355
00:19:29,346 --> 00:19:32,626
Speaker 1: this game as a fan. NFL Network's not sending me,

356
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:36,186
Speaker 1: Fox isn't sending me. I am going with my wife

357
00:19:36,426 --> 00:19:38,946
Speaker 1: and my son, and we are going to sit with

358
00:19:38,986 --> 00:19:42,186
Speaker 1: my father in law, my mother in law, and my

359
00:19:42,266 --> 00:19:44,946
Speaker 1: brother in law, who are probably gonna be wearing Jonathan

360
00:19:44,986 --> 00:19:51,026
Speaker 1: Ogden jerseys and Chris McCallister jerseys. And you name it.

361
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:55,426
Speaker 1: The hideous old Ravens logo with that gross yellow like

362
00:19:55,786 --> 00:19:58,266
Speaker 1: they still rock that stuff. They rock the Camo pants,

363
00:19:58,266 --> 00:20:03,026
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I've got to make a pick

364
00:20:03,066 --> 00:20:05,186
Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football, like publicly, and then I've got

365
00:20:05,226 --> 00:20:07,426
Speaker 1: to walk into that building as like a trader of

366
00:20:07,466 --> 00:20:10,146
Speaker 1: some sort and sit amongst the fans. So I am

367
00:20:10,346 --> 00:20:13,426
Speaker 1: telling you right now, Aaron, I feel really torn personally,

368
00:20:13,546 --> 00:20:15,946
Speaker 1: but also like I got to live with that. Hey

369
00:20:16,746 --> 00:20:20,906
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs win, like the looking at an empty

370
00:20:21,186 --> 00:20:24,226
Speaker 1: stadium and my son crying tears because he's a Ravens fan,

371
00:20:24,586 --> 00:20:27,186
Speaker 1: just like his mom and just like his grandfather, and

372
00:20:27,186 --> 00:20:29,546
Speaker 1: then b if the Ravens win, like I might get

373
00:20:29,946 --> 00:20:31,706
Speaker 1: thrown at me there because they look at me as

374
00:20:31,746 --> 00:20:33,666
Speaker 1: like some sort of Chiefs fan because I'm on television

375
00:20:33,706 --> 00:20:35,346
Speaker 1: talking about the Chiefs how they're gonna beat the Ravens.

376
00:20:35,626 --> 00:20:39,506
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, well, I love whenever I look into the

377
00:20:39,546 --> 00:20:42,866
Speaker 2: stands and I see groups of people there together and

378
00:20:42,906 --> 00:20:45,546
Speaker 2: they're in mixed jersey. So someone is there rooting for

379
00:20:45,586 --> 00:20:47,466
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and someone's there rooting for the Ravens, and

380
00:20:47,466 --> 00:20:49,986
Speaker 2: they're next to each other, they're talking to like throughout

381
00:20:50,026 --> 00:20:50,386
Speaker 2: the game.

382
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:51,306
Speaker 1: That's beautiful.

383
00:20:51,306 --> 00:20:53,786
Speaker 2: I love, like you know, I hate whenever it's some

384
00:20:53,906 --> 00:20:56,426
Speaker 2: story about like fans got into a fight, we're throwing

385
00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:58,626
Speaker 2: drinks at each other. But if they're like you know,

386
00:20:59,026 --> 00:21:03,026
Speaker 2: they're as friends and family, that's great. I think you'll

387
00:21:03,026 --> 00:21:04,866
Speaker 2: have a little bit of buffer because you'll be around

388
00:21:04,906 --> 00:21:10,226
Speaker 2: a lot of Ravens. God, man, I don't know. I mean,

389
00:21:10,226 --> 00:21:13,746
Speaker 2: this is the first time they're going to the conference championship.

390
00:21:13,746 --> 00:21:15,346
Speaker 2: That's not going to be in Kansas City.

391
00:21:17,146 --> 00:21:20,466
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing I'm not gonna wear yeah, oh Chief stuff. No,

392
00:21:20,506 --> 00:21:22,026
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wear Chief stuff ayway, but I'm not gonna

393
00:21:22,066 --> 00:21:24,346
Speaker 1: wear any NFL I think stuff. I'll see if I

394
00:21:24,346 --> 00:21:25,426
Speaker 1: could just blend in.

395
00:21:25,546 --> 00:21:28,186
Speaker 2: Just getting Oriels jersey and wearing.

396
00:21:29,706 --> 00:21:33,266
Speaker 1: Win, I'll be elated, Like my family's gonna be excited.

397
00:21:33,346 --> 00:21:37,426
Speaker 1: Lamar is an amazing story. This is very very specific

398
00:21:37,426 --> 00:21:40,666
Speaker 1: to me when you've got family that loves the Ravens.

399
00:21:40,746 --> 00:21:44,906
Speaker 1: But I've kind of put my eggs in the Chiefs basket.

400
00:21:45,146 --> 00:21:48,026
Speaker 1: Who do I think will truly win? I honestly think

401
00:21:48,106 --> 00:21:51,266
Speaker 1: the Chiefs win like twenty three twenty and it's one

402
00:21:51,306 --> 00:21:54,906
Speaker 1: of these awesome games and I cannot wait. I'll be

403
00:21:54,946 --> 00:21:58,546
Speaker 1: there taking the train down Sunday morning, and of course

404
00:21:58,666 --> 00:22:01,066
Speaker 1: I will be on Good Morning Football Monday morning, so

405
00:22:01,106 --> 00:22:05,386
Speaker 1: I'll take the train back late Sunday night. Here's here's

406
00:22:05,426 --> 00:22:09,026
Speaker 1: a quick battery before we get into our guests of

407
00:22:09,186 --> 00:22:13,146
Speaker 1: what I think. I think we're gonna get Taylor Swift right,

408
00:22:13,226 --> 00:22:16,226
Speaker 1: So I'm writing Taylor Swift's name down. I would imagine

409
00:22:16,266 --> 00:22:18,906
Speaker 1: I haven't spoken to him. I would imagine our podcast

410
00:22:18,906 --> 00:22:20,826
Speaker 1: buddy Paul Rudd is in the house because that's a

411
00:22:20,866 --> 00:22:24,306
Speaker 1: train rider, a drive away. I think you're gonna get

412
00:22:24,346 --> 00:22:27,826
Speaker 1: Jason Kelcey with Taylor Swift writing that down. I think

413
00:22:27,906 --> 00:22:30,546
Speaker 1: Josh Charles. You know Josh Charles's work, great actor, but

414
00:22:30,586 --> 00:22:32,546

416
00:22:35,506 --> 00:22:39,146

421
00:22:54,586 --> 00:22:58,346

00:25:18,466 --> 00:25:23,546
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so Greek American who has the pulse of

462
00:25:23,586 --> 00:25:27,026
Speaker 1: the Ravens fan base and has now found a whole

463
00:25:27,106 --> 00:25:29,746
Speaker 1: new thing, like whole new market and whole new fan

464
00:25:29,786 --> 00:25:33,346
Speaker 1: base with a character he does at the games known

465
00:25:33,346 --> 00:25:35,786
Speaker 1: as Ronnie Stavi. Where do you want to start? This

466
00:25:35,866 --> 00:25:38,586
Speaker 1: is an incredible run that the Ravens are on, and

467
00:25:38,626 --> 00:25:41,426
Speaker 1: you are part and sold this thing. From the fan perspective,

468
00:25:41,546 --> 00:25:42,546
Speaker 1: it's crazy, dude.

469
00:25:42,626 --> 00:25:43,906
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks for having me on. By the way, I'm

470
00:25:43,946 --> 00:25:46,466
Speaker 4: a fan as well. I love your stuff and it's

471
00:25:46,506 --> 00:25:50,026
Speaker 4: crazy to be on an actual like the Ravens. Should

472
00:25:50,066 --> 00:25:52,586
Speaker 4: I start doing a character? I grew up in Baltimore.

473
00:25:53,666 --> 00:25:56,746
Speaker 4: I remember when we got the team. I remember, you know,

474
00:25:56,786 --> 00:25:59,986
Speaker 4: I was a football fan before the Ravens existed, Like

475
00:26:00,026 --> 00:26:02,186
Speaker 4: I remember, you know, rooting.

476
00:26:01,946 --> 00:26:04,146
Speaker 5: For uh, just watching the play.

477
00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:08,026
Speaker 4: I was really a Viking fan because okay, Randy Moss

478
00:26:08,106 --> 00:26:09,626
Speaker 4: was so good when I was I was, like, you know,

479
00:26:09,746 --> 00:26:11,746
Speaker 4: like I was young, I was like eight or I

480
00:26:11,746 --> 00:26:14,066
Speaker 4: don't exactly remember what it was, and he was so good.

481
00:26:14,386 --> 00:26:17,026
Speaker 4: So I made that the purple transition came real nice.

482
00:26:17,306 --> 00:26:20,066
Speaker 4: I remember, like I remember, like like that, I go

483
00:26:20,186 --> 00:26:22,226
Speaker 4: back to before the team existed. I go back to

484
00:26:22,786 --> 00:26:26,826
Speaker 4: being mad watching football and Thanksgiving at our family friend's

485
00:26:26,826 --> 00:26:29,226
Speaker 4: house because I come from a very Greek family. Where

486
00:26:29,626 --> 00:26:33,106
Speaker 4: my parents do not understand football. It's all about soccer.

487
00:26:33,186 --> 00:26:35,826
Speaker 4: We played soccer, well, I played high school football, and

488
00:26:35,826 --> 00:26:37,706
Speaker 4: my mom would come to my games and she would

489
00:26:37,706 --> 00:26:40,266
Speaker 4: like hear at all the wrong times, you know, like

490
00:26:40,346 --> 00:26:42,986
Speaker 4: I was in nose tackle. But I also kicked off

491
00:26:43,026 --> 00:26:47,826
Speaker 4: because I played soccer, and so she would just cheer

492
00:26:47,826 --> 00:26:49,506
Speaker 4: at the kickoffs, thinking I scored.

493
00:26:49,266 --> 00:26:51,066
Speaker 5: A goal, you know what I mean, Like that's what

494
00:26:51,106 --> 00:26:51,866
Speaker 5: she understood.

495
00:26:51,946 --> 00:26:54,746
Speaker 4: So there was no football happening in my immediate family,

496
00:26:54,786 --> 00:26:57,426
Speaker 4: but we had family friends we'd go to on Thanksgiving

497
00:26:57,426 --> 00:27:01,226
Speaker 4: and that was my like introduction those Thanksgiving games, and

498
00:27:01,426 --> 00:27:03,186
Speaker 4: I remember being mad. I was like, well, why don't

499
00:27:03,226 --> 00:27:06,146
Speaker 4: we have a team, And it was like pretty quickly

500
00:27:06,186 --> 00:27:08,226
Speaker 4: after that, I was you know, I was there. I

501
00:27:08,266 --> 00:27:11,706
Speaker 4: remember you go into a pun pass and kick contest.

502
00:27:11,746 --> 00:27:14,626
Speaker 4: We had Testaverdi out there, We had Stover out there.

503
00:27:15,026 --> 00:27:17,466
Speaker 4: I like I I have been a fan of Ravens

504
00:27:17,546 --> 00:27:21,226
Speaker 4: since it has come to Baltimore, and so I just

505
00:27:21,666 --> 00:27:24,546
Speaker 4: started messing around one day where I was just like

506
00:27:25,306 --> 00:27:27,866
Speaker 4: we've had and Lamar got me back in right like

507
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:31,226
Speaker 4: I was kinda I love the flat goron obviously that

508
00:27:31,306 --> 00:27:31,786
Speaker 4: was the best.

509
00:27:31,826 --> 00:27:34,266
Speaker 5: But it was like we had a weird little lull there,

510
00:27:34,506 --> 00:27:35,106
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

511
00:27:35,106 --> 00:27:37,226
Speaker 4: And it was like and I was also starting to

512
00:27:37,266 --> 00:27:40,226
Speaker 4: actually be an adult with responsibilities.

513
00:27:40,466 --> 00:27:44,106
Speaker 5: You couldn't yeah, yeah, yeah.

514
00:27:44,146 --> 00:27:46,386
Speaker 4: I could just get you know, with my friends and

515
00:27:46,506 --> 00:27:49,786
Speaker 4: just watch games and just gamble, you know, with a bookie,

516
00:27:49,826 --> 00:27:52,146
Speaker 4: and just that was my whole life. I was like, oh,

517
00:27:52,186 --> 00:27:54,826
Speaker 4: I should I started to travel for stand up and weirdly,

518
00:27:55,186 --> 00:27:57,586
Speaker 4: Sundays are travel days, you know. And I was like

519
00:27:57,946 --> 00:28:01,746
Speaker 4: and also, you know, uh, just I was just kind

520
00:28:01,746 --> 00:28:03,986
Speaker 4: of losing my you know, I was just kind of lose.

521
00:28:04,066 --> 00:28:05,266
Speaker 5: I was like, that was cool.

522
00:28:05,306 --> 00:28:07,706
Speaker 4: I was a die hard as a fan as a kid,

523
00:28:08,066 --> 00:28:09,066
Speaker 4: and the teams were great.

524
00:28:09,066 --> 00:28:10,146
Speaker 5: I enjoyed some great stuff.

525
00:28:10,186 --> 00:28:11,986
Speaker 4: But I was like, maybe it's time for me to

526
00:28:12,066 --> 00:28:14,226
Speaker 4: kind of like become a much more casual fan.

527
00:28:14,746 --> 00:28:16,986
Speaker 5: And I remember Draft day Lamar.

528
00:28:17,146 --> 00:28:20,146
Speaker 4: I was like, wait, this guy's not gonna fall There's

529
00:28:20,186 --> 00:28:21,666
Speaker 4: no way we're getting I.

530
00:28:21,586 --> 00:28:24,106
Speaker 5: Was literally headed on in the background as I'm.

531
00:28:23,986 --> 00:28:27,506
Speaker 4: Just you know, doing chores or something, and he keeps falling,

532
00:28:27,506 --> 00:28:29,826
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh great. I remember being like, great,

533
00:28:29,866 --> 00:28:32,866
Speaker 4: the Patriots are gonna ever this guy and and and

534
00:28:32,906 --> 00:28:35,266
Speaker 4: they're gonna you know, they're gonna go right from Brady

535
00:28:35,346 --> 00:28:37,746
Speaker 4: the like I always thought, I never bought into, you know,

536
00:28:37,786 --> 00:28:40,266
Speaker 4: the whole the he's not gonna be good. I thought

537
00:28:40,306 --> 00:28:42,306
Speaker 4: the guy was awesome. And when we drafted Lamar, I

538
00:28:42,346 --> 00:28:47,026
Speaker 4: was like, I'm this is fifteen years I'm in, Like,

539
00:28:47,146 --> 00:28:51,386
Speaker 4: it's not the moment I knew. Yeah, I was like, so,

540
00:28:51,386 --> 00:28:54,866
Speaker 4: so I just re became a Diard fan and I

541
00:28:54,946 --> 00:28:57,666
Speaker 4: just started doing these dumb videos when we had a couple,

542
00:28:57,746 --> 00:29:02,106
Speaker 4: you know, a couple because starting from that the MVP run,

543
00:29:02,226 --> 00:29:05,146
Speaker 4: it was such a magical year, like watching Lamar really

544
00:29:05,146 --> 00:29:08,546
Speaker 4: become as himself that first time and then losing to

545
00:29:08,586 --> 00:29:11,986
Speaker 4: the Titans was so brutal that, you know, that first

546
00:29:12,026 --> 00:29:14,706
Speaker 4: playoff run that they had, and so that it kind

547
00:29:14,706 --> 00:29:17,466
Speaker 4: of but from then until now, we've had a lot

548
00:29:17,466 --> 00:29:20,466
Speaker 4: of these weird seasons that you can tell there's talent

549
00:29:20,546 --> 00:29:23,066
Speaker 4: on the team, and we had the whole contract dispute,

550
00:29:23,106 --> 00:29:24,466
Speaker 4: we had the whole everything, and so it was like

551
00:29:24,826 --> 00:29:27,826
Speaker 4: I was doing a lot of just I was frustrated

552
00:29:27,826 --> 00:29:30,506
Speaker 4: as a fan, and so I just channeled all that

553
00:29:31,026 --> 00:29:34,946
Speaker 4: into like a Baltimore Towney character named Ronnie from you know,

554
00:29:34,986 --> 00:29:37,426
Speaker 4: I don't want to get into too much specifics of

555
00:29:37,506 --> 00:29:41,226
Speaker 4: the OFT's.

556
00:29:39,546 --> 00:29:42,546
Speaker 1: Let's paint, let's paint where Ronnie's from and what Ronnie's

557
00:29:42,586 --> 00:29:44,786
Speaker 1: life is, because I think it is fair. Yes, so

558
00:29:44,946 --> 00:29:47,306
Speaker 1: you could say there are different types of Ravens fans

559
00:29:47,306 --> 00:29:49,746
Speaker 1: and they come from all wars of life and all

560
00:29:49,786 --> 00:29:53,426
Speaker 1: different Yes, yes, that's all different cultural backgrounds. But Ronnie's

561
00:29:53,466 --> 00:29:57,226
Speaker 1: a very Ronnie's a very specific one that I have

562
00:29:57,426 --> 00:30:00,386
Speaker 1: met and we get tweets from and they have their

563
00:30:00,426 --> 00:30:03,106
Speaker 1: thoughts on whether it's Jimmy seafood or their place that's

564
00:30:03,146 --> 00:30:05,506
Speaker 1: in their suburb, like it got.

565
00:30:07,066 --> 00:30:07,706
Speaker 5: Crab cakes.

566
00:30:07,906 --> 00:30:11,506
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, No, Ronnie is like I grew up in Greektown,

567
00:30:11,506 --> 00:30:15,346
Speaker 4: which is southeast Baltimore, and it kind of borders. There's

568
00:30:15,426 --> 00:30:19,386
Speaker 4: like a suburb technically a suburb that is worse somehow

569
00:30:19,426 --> 00:30:22,586
Speaker 4: than Baltimore City. Like it's like people, it's like it's

570
00:30:22,666 --> 00:30:26,386
Speaker 4: like just become it was I say, I say in

571
00:30:26,386 --> 00:30:29,386
Speaker 4: my act, it's like it was like white flight happened

572
00:30:29,546 --> 00:30:32,306
Speaker 4: and they instead of it's like people that were like, oh,

573
00:30:32,346 --> 00:30:34,866
Speaker 4: we have to get away from these urban centers, too

574
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:37,146
Speaker 4: many black people moving in and then they just pick

575
00:30:37,386 --> 00:30:41,146
Speaker 4: made a city than the city they fled. And that's

576
00:30:41,266 --> 00:30:44,226
Speaker 4: and Ronnie is descended from that where it's like just

577
00:30:44,306 --> 00:30:46,866
Speaker 4: these kind of like dumb ass It's just like a

578
00:30:46,946 --> 00:30:50,666
Speaker 4: dumb ass that had you know, that just lived his

579
00:30:50,786 --> 00:30:54,866
Speaker 4: family left Baltimore a couple generations ago. They live in

580
00:30:54,906 --> 00:30:59,666
Speaker 4: a trash suburb. They're just like, you know, uh, like.

581
00:31:00,026 --> 00:31:02,906
Speaker 5: Small time criminals. You know, my weed deal.

582
00:31:02,946 --> 00:31:04,986
Speaker 4: The guy I bought weed from was like, you know

583
00:31:05,066 --> 00:31:07,066
Speaker 4: growing up, was a Ronnie style guy.

584
00:31:07,386 --> 00:31:07,586
Speaker 5: You know.

585
00:31:07,626 --> 00:31:10,346
Speaker 4: They're just like, you know, just white, just a nice

586
00:31:10,786 --> 00:31:14,426
Speaker 4: are nice type of white trash that everybody has their

587
00:31:14,466 --> 00:31:18,226
Speaker 4: own special kind of towny and we have like vintage

588
00:31:18,426 --> 00:31:20,666
Speaker 4: and it is like what's nice about it? It's a

589
00:31:20,706 --> 00:31:22,906
Speaker 4: cousin of the minute. All the mid Atlantic trash is

590
00:31:22,986 --> 00:31:23,666
Speaker 4: kind of connected.

591
00:31:24,026 --> 00:31:25,706
Speaker 5: So it's like Pittsburgh.

592
00:31:25,786 --> 00:31:28,226
Speaker 4: Even the Pittsburgh kind of yinser accent is sort of

593
00:31:28,546 --> 00:31:33,106
Speaker 4: that's an offshoot Philly definitely has. That's definitely Philly is

594
00:31:33,106 --> 00:31:35,186
Speaker 4: probably the closest Delco.

595
00:31:35,626 --> 00:31:38,986
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Delco that the very hard Oh's. You know.

596
00:31:39,346 --> 00:31:41,146
Speaker 4: I do a bit about it on my first YouTube

597
00:31:41,186 --> 00:31:44,786
Speaker 4: special on my first special on YouTube, where I just

598
00:31:44,826 --> 00:31:47,266
Speaker 4: kind of like, you know, they're just guys that have

599
00:31:47,426 --> 00:31:49,986
Speaker 4: way too much confidence for no reason. Have never achieved

600
00:31:50,026 --> 00:31:54,266
Speaker 4: anything in life. Uh don't, don't realize they're being racist,

601
00:31:54,386 --> 00:31:56,906
Speaker 4: but like, you know, like that, the character was always

602
00:31:57,026 --> 00:32:00,426
Speaker 4: the Ronnie loves and listen, I love Joe Flacco, but

603
00:32:00,506 --> 00:32:02,826
Speaker 4: Ronnie like loves Joe Flacco in a way that's like

604
00:32:03,106 --> 00:32:06,106
Speaker 4: he thinks modern. He thinks the Ravens last season when

605
00:32:06,186 --> 00:32:09,386
Speaker 4: Lamar was injured should have offered uh, you know, the

606
00:32:09,466 --> 00:32:10,946
Speaker 4: I believe he was on the Jets. He should have

607
00:32:11,026 --> 00:32:14,706
Speaker 4: offered the Jets Lamar in two first for flats for

608
00:32:14,746 --> 00:32:15,706
Speaker 4: the current day Flaco.

609
00:32:15,866 --> 00:32:21,226
Speaker 1: And it works so perfect because the last name, it's

610
00:32:21,306 --> 00:32:23,426
Speaker 1: just it's perfect for the aga.

611
00:32:24,066 --> 00:32:26,506
Speaker 4: Oh it's beautiful. I mean that was meant to be.

612
00:32:26,666 --> 00:32:30,066
Speaker 4: And shout out to Joe. He is that run. I mean,

613
00:32:30,186 --> 00:32:32,426
Speaker 4: I love you know, when we drafted Joe, I remember

614
00:32:32,466 --> 00:32:36,426
Speaker 4: that too, because you know, Baltimore was a quarterback wilderness.

615
00:32:36,426 --> 00:32:39,066
Speaker 4: I mean we went from like we we went with Dilpher,

616
00:32:39,426 --> 00:32:41,826
Speaker 4: we had Tony Banks, we went we you know, we

617
00:32:41,906 --> 00:32:45,266
Speaker 4: went with Dilfer and then I remember everyone saying like

618
00:32:46,106 --> 00:32:49,026
Speaker 4: Burdback's gonna be the savior, you know, like I remember

619
00:32:49,026 --> 00:32:52,026
Speaker 4: that that was our big free agents splash. He sucked

620
00:32:52,066 --> 00:32:53,986
Speaker 4: as soon as we got him. He completely went in

621
00:32:54,026 --> 00:32:57,466
Speaker 4: the tank. And then and then there's Bowler where we're like, oh,

622
00:32:57,666 --> 00:32:59,586
Speaker 4: this guy. And it was always like this thing of

623
00:33:00,226 --> 00:33:05,466
Speaker 4: you know, Brian Billick was because again offensive genius, and

624
00:33:05,506 --> 00:33:07,786
Speaker 4: it's like, okay, he had a defensive team. Now he

625
00:33:07,866 --> 00:33:11,066
Speaker 4: drafts his guy, he's gonna put his system in. And

626
00:33:11,106 --> 00:33:14,146
Speaker 4: it was Kyle Bowler, which no, you know, Kyle Boler

627
00:33:14,186 --> 00:33:17,066
Speaker 4: got a second contract somehow, salute to him. He figured

628
00:33:17,066 --> 00:33:20,026
Speaker 4: it out. He was dogs, you know, he was not good.

629
00:33:20,186 --> 00:33:23,146
Speaker 4: We had Chris Redman as a starting quarterback. Like it

630
00:33:23,226 --> 00:33:26,746
Speaker 4: was like we just went through it. And then when

631
00:33:26,826 --> 00:33:29,946
Speaker 4: Joe gets drafted, it's like, all right, this guy looks good.

632
00:33:30,306 --> 00:33:33,866
Speaker 4: And it's like but he he's from Delaware. It's like

633
00:33:33,946 --> 00:33:35,706
Speaker 4: we got to get It's like it's like it's like

634
00:33:35,826 --> 00:33:37,866
Speaker 4: he's just that's where we go to the bea. He's

635
00:33:37,866 --> 00:33:40,106
Speaker 4: like he's he went to Rahobi's Beach University.

636
00:33:40,306 --> 00:33:42,426
Speaker 5: What is this? And then and then you.

637
00:33:42,386 --> 00:33:47,146
Speaker 4: See that secret yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, University

638
00:33:47,186 --> 00:33:49,906
Speaker 4: of Secrets. But then I saw I saw one of

639
00:33:49,946 --> 00:33:52,386
Speaker 4: those beautiful spirals, and I was like, I'm all in.

640
00:33:52,626 --> 00:33:53,586
Speaker 5: He was perfect.

641
00:33:53,826 --> 00:33:56,906
Speaker 4: We were so good for so long with him and

642
00:33:56,906 --> 00:33:59,346
Speaker 4: and I love I definitely, I definitely know that I

643
00:33:59,466 --> 00:34:00,746
Speaker 4: just want to be on the record.

644
00:34:00,786 --> 00:34:03,106
Speaker 5: No disrespected Joe, one of my favorite players.

645
00:34:03,146 --> 00:34:05,986
Speaker 4: But those guys really, you know, they latch onto him

646
00:34:06,186 --> 00:34:08,546
Speaker 4: Ron these favorite players are all you know, Todd Heap,

647
00:34:09,026 --> 00:34:14,026
Speaker 4: Tony Sarrah Goosa. There's a pattern. There's a pattern, you know.

648
00:34:16,386 --> 00:34:19,666
Speaker 4: But I saw I'm doing these dumb videos when just

649
00:34:19,706 --> 00:34:22,266
Speaker 4: to like just to get some steam out, just to like,

650
00:34:22,386 --> 00:34:25,546
Speaker 4: you know, make fun of these guys, but also there

651
00:34:25,626 --> 00:34:27,586
Speaker 4: it's a it's a safe space for me to get

652
00:34:27,626 --> 00:34:30,546
Speaker 4: all my dumbest fan takes out, you know what I mean,

653
00:34:30,586 --> 00:34:32,346
Speaker 4: Like there's a part of me that you know, just

654
00:34:32,426 --> 00:34:35,266
Speaker 4: believes all a little bit of it, and.

655
00:34:35,746 --> 00:34:38,626
Speaker 5: They just kind of kept I was just doing them

656
00:34:38,626 --> 00:34:38,986
Speaker 5: for fun.

657
00:34:39,026 --> 00:34:41,186
Speaker 4: And you know, it's not like my audience, my stand

658
00:34:41,226 --> 00:34:43,266
Speaker 4: up audience is like a big sports not a big

659
00:34:43,266 --> 00:34:45,666
Speaker 4: sports fan. But you know, like I did the bat

660
00:34:45,746 --> 00:34:47,706
Speaker 4: if anything. If I had any fans, it was like

661
00:34:47,746 --> 00:34:50,706
Speaker 4: basketball fans. Because I used to work for MSG, me

662
00:34:50,706 --> 00:34:53,346
Speaker 4: and my Sam Moreau, we did a we did a

663
00:34:53,386 --> 00:34:54,906
Speaker 4: show for the MSG network.

664
00:34:54,946 --> 00:34:55,986
Speaker 5: I was a writer for it.

665
00:34:56,666 --> 00:34:59,146
Speaker 4: Then me and Sam did our own basketball podcast for

666
00:34:59,266 --> 00:35:01,826
Speaker 4: years and I was just a really big hoops junkie.

667
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:04,146
Speaker 4: But these videos were really just for me. It's not

668
00:35:04,226 --> 00:35:07,106
Speaker 4: even like my fan base like them. Some people were

669
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:08,186
Speaker 4: mad that I was doing.

670
00:35:08,866 --> 00:35:12,626
Speaker 1: Your podcast is all life advice stuff and like yeah great,

671
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:15,346
Speaker 1: and then you have this whole other character, Ronnie, that

672
00:35:15,386 --> 00:35:17,186
Speaker 1: I think is like as a whole of their life

673
00:35:17,186 --> 00:35:19,226
Speaker 1: with a whole other different fan base, and.

674
00:35:19,146 --> 00:35:20,906
Speaker 5: It was really just for me. Like that's the thing.

675
00:35:20,946 --> 00:35:25,226
Speaker 4: It's like there was no strategy of like like in hindsight,

676
00:35:25,266 --> 00:35:27,746
Speaker 4: it was if you're going to be cynical, you're like, well,

677
00:35:27,746 --> 00:35:30,866
Speaker 4: football is the most the most popular sport, you need

678
00:35:30,906 --> 00:35:33,586
Speaker 4: to It's like it's almost like somebody in a boardroom

679
00:35:33,706 --> 00:35:36,026
Speaker 4: was like, hey, you really got to hit this quadrant,

680
00:35:36,106 --> 00:35:41,426
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. But that was that was

681
00:35:41,466 --> 00:35:44,546
Speaker 4: not it at all. I just I just loved I

682
00:35:44,666 --> 00:35:46,386
Speaker 4: was doing it really for me in a way where

683
00:35:46,386 --> 00:35:48,666
Speaker 4: it's like I could have even not posted these videos

684
00:35:48,706 --> 00:35:51,026
Speaker 4: and just done it as Catharsis.

685
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:52,226
Speaker 5: And then I started.

686
00:35:51,946 --> 00:35:55,026
Speaker 4: Putting them out and uh, you know, they were doing

687
00:35:55,066 --> 00:35:58,066
Speaker 4: pretty well. And I think when I was promoting my special,

688
00:35:58,466 --> 00:36:01,626
Speaker 4: I went on every platform possible my first special, and

689
00:36:01,786 --> 00:36:03,986
Speaker 4: so part of that was the you know, the Barstool Guys,

690
00:36:04,146 --> 00:36:06,666
Speaker 4: The Cat and uh pft, I went on one on

691
00:36:06,706 --> 00:36:08,666
Speaker 4: their show. But I love that show, and I think

692
00:36:08,706 --> 00:36:11,746
Speaker 4: that was kind of I did the character there because it's.

693
00:36:11,626 --> 00:36:13,146
Speaker 5: Like you got to do it, you know, that's just

694
00:36:13,146 --> 00:36:15,066
Speaker 5: fun to do. They get it. And I think that's

695
00:36:15,106 --> 00:36:16,466
Speaker 5: when it kind of picked up a little bit.

696
00:36:16,546 --> 00:36:20,666
Speaker 4: And then it just coincided with this magical Raging season

697
00:36:21,306 --> 00:36:23,466
Speaker 4: where it was like, you know, it's been a it's

698
00:36:23,466 --> 00:36:25,386
Speaker 4: been a crazy lucky year for me, and I think

699
00:36:25,386 --> 00:36:27,266
Speaker 4: it all kind of like, and I don't want to

700
00:36:28,066 --> 00:36:31,266
Speaker 4: nobody clip this if it goes bad, but my my

701
00:36:31,346 --> 00:36:33,306
Speaker 4: thirty fifth birthday is February eleventh.

702
00:36:33,346 --> 00:36:37,266
Speaker 5: I'm just saying. I'm just saying it feels.

703
00:36:37,066 --> 00:36:39,746
Speaker 4: You know, it's starting to sitting, just starting to swirl,

704
00:36:40,146 --> 00:36:41,306
Speaker 4: starting to feel really good.

705
00:36:42,186 --> 00:36:44,946
Speaker 5: And look, Lamar's I'm sorry, I'm hopped up. I just

706
00:36:44,986 --> 00:36:48,026
Speaker 5: woke up. I'm pumped to just be talking Ravens when

707
00:36:48,026 --> 00:36:49,466
Speaker 5: we're so good in.

708
00:36:49,546 --> 00:36:52,586
Speaker 1: Late January talking Ravens late January.

709
00:36:52,146 --> 00:36:56,546
Speaker 4: We're Lamar and Lamar approved every every hating pieces wrong

710
00:36:57,106 --> 00:36:59,586
Speaker 4: that I mean that second half. Me and my brother,

711
00:36:59,666 --> 00:37:03,746
Speaker 4: I take my I take my brother Nick to these games.

712
00:37:03,906 --> 00:37:04,986
Speaker 5: Trainer he's a trainer.

713
00:37:05,066 --> 00:37:07,746
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think he wants that

714
00:37:07,786 --> 00:37:10,226
Speaker 4: publicized right now. I think he wants to maybe to

715
00:37:10,226 --> 00:37:11,826
Speaker 4: get me in the gym a couple of months before

716
00:37:11,866 --> 00:37:15,306
Speaker 4: he starts taking ownership of it. But yeah, we did

717
00:37:15,426 --> 00:37:18,146
Speaker 4: a training series and I've only gotten fatter since then.

718
00:37:18,186 --> 00:37:19,506
Speaker 5: I don't know how it's helping.

719
00:37:19,226 --> 00:37:22,786
Speaker 4: His business, but I'm there with my brother, and that

720
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:26,666
Speaker 4: first half was It's an amazing experience. You know, the

721
00:37:26,746 --> 00:37:31,506
Speaker 4: Ravens let me somehow these dumb videos. The Ravens were like, yeah,

722
00:37:31,586 --> 00:37:33,746
Speaker 4: come do I couldn't curse on the official ones, but

723
00:37:33,786 --> 00:37:35,186
Speaker 4: it's like they still let me do.

724
00:37:35,386 --> 00:37:37,706
Speaker 5: I still, you know, I get to write these things.

725
00:37:37,706 --> 00:37:39,746
Speaker 4: I get to still be a criminal that the Ravens

726
00:37:39,786 --> 00:37:43,586
Speaker 4: led into their thing, and so they gave us great seats.

727
00:37:44,146 --> 00:37:47,506
Speaker 4: We're sitting there watching the whole game, and that first

728
00:37:47,546 --> 00:37:51,426
Speaker 4: half was like that kickback was like, damn, this.

729
00:37:51,346 --> 00:37:53,426
Speaker 5: Is how a worst team beats a good team.

730
00:37:53,746 --> 00:37:56,266
Speaker 4: They hanged around and it was every and at first

731
00:37:56,346 --> 00:37:59,386
Speaker 4: I felt a little bit about what everybody was criticizing

732
00:37:59,466 --> 00:38:01,506
Speaker 4: Lamar for where it was like this season, I think

733
00:38:01,546 --> 00:38:04,066
Speaker 4: what really separated him was he just proved the thing

734
00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:07,346
Speaker 4: I think everybody who believed in him thought, which is like, no,

735
00:38:07,426 --> 00:38:10,626
Speaker 4: this that he can pass as well as he can run.

736
00:38:10,666 --> 00:38:13,906
Speaker 4: That's what makes him super elite. And I think in

737
00:38:13,946 --> 00:38:16,426
Speaker 4: the first half maybe you could argue he went a

738
00:38:16,466 --> 00:38:20,066
Speaker 4: little too like, you know, abandoned his reads and just

739
00:38:20,146 --> 00:38:22,786
Speaker 4: ran whenever, whenever things were getting a little dicey. And

740
00:38:22,826 --> 00:38:24,826
Speaker 4: then that second and I'm sitting there with my brother

741
00:38:24,866 --> 00:38:27,386
Speaker 4: and I'm like, dude, the vibes are a little right now.

742
00:38:27,426 --> 00:38:29,426
Speaker 4: That's where I said going to the second half, but

743
00:38:29,626 --> 00:38:32,026
Speaker 4: I didn't. I was like, we're not panicking yet. Here's

744
00:38:32,026 --> 00:38:34,346
Speaker 4: what needs happened. He's got to come out, we get

745
00:38:34,386 --> 00:38:37,586
Speaker 4: the ball, step on their throats, prove who he is.

746
00:38:37,906 --> 00:38:40,186
Speaker 4: And you say, like your best case scenario, you say

747
00:38:40,226 --> 00:38:42,586
Speaker 4: it out loud, and you think it's not gonna go

748
00:38:42,626 --> 00:38:42,946
Speaker 4: that good.

749
00:38:42,986 --> 00:38:45,186
Speaker 5: But at least it went even better.

750
00:38:45,426 --> 00:38:47,946
Speaker 4: Now, it went even better than I possibly could have expected.

751
00:38:47,946 --> 00:38:50,626
Speaker 4: And I was like, that's it, that's the guy. It

752
00:38:50,746 --> 00:38:53,786
Speaker 4: all snacked into focus. And I think that first half

753
00:38:53,866 --> 00:38:56,706
Speaker 4: was good because I also think it's kind of us

754
00:38:56,786 --> 00:38:59,746
Speaker 4: exercising a little bit of our total. You know, we

755
00:38:59,746 --> 00:39:01,626
Speaker 4: had a couple of weird We had a couple of

756
00:39:01,666 --> 00:39:04,586
Speaker 4: weird losses too. I mean, this team could have had

757
00:39:04,786 --> 00:39:05,426
Speaker 4: like one.

758
00:39:05,426 --> 00:39:12,506
Speaker 5: Loss if you really Steelers. This Brown's game was weird.

759
00:39:12,546 --> 00:39:14,666
Speaker 4: This the first Steelers, like, you know whatever, the last

760
00:39:14,666 --> 00:39:15,946
Speaker 4: Seelers game we don't have anything to play for, it

761
00:39:16,066 --> 00:39:18,346
Speaker 4: was raining, who gives it? But that first Steelers game

762
00:39:18,346 --> 00:39:21,266
Speaker 4: we should have won for sure, And so it just

763
00:39:21,306 --> 00:39:24,666
Speaker 4: felt good. It felt like we're really it's good to

764
00:39:24,746 --> 00:39:27,226
Speaker 4: muck up a little bit. Sometimes coming out of the

765
00:39:27,266 --> 00:39:29,586
Speaker 4: by it could be weird. Teams can feel flat, and

766
00:39:29,626 --> 00:39:31,946
Speaker 4: it really felt like we did that. And I am

767
00:39:33,186 --> 00:39:36,266
Speaker 4: pummed to be playing the Chiefs. I'm pumped to like

768
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:38,826
Speaker 4: to get Lamar, Like Lamar Vus Mahomes is what you want.

769
00:39:38,866 --> 00:39:40,706
Speaker 4: You want him to go out there and prove it

770
00:39:40,866 --> 00:39:43,186
Speaker 4: because I've you know, I've always thought he's just good.

771
00:39:43,626 --> 00:39:45,866
Speaker 4: I really truly believe that. I mean, Mahomes is the man,

772
00:39:45,906 --> 00:39:48,666
Speaker 4: of course, and he's he's got the Super Bowls. But

773
00:39:49,146 --> 00:39:52,586
Speaker 4: when Lamar puts it together, and let's not forget this

774
00:39:52,666 --> 00:39:54,626
Speaker 4: is you know, Lamar was kind of thrust into a

775
00:39:54,626 --> 00:39:58,986
Speaker 4: weird situation, whereas like Mahomes got to kind of slowly

776
00:39:59,066 --> 00:40:02,146
Speaker 4: come along, had a better had better weapons right away.

777
00:40:02,466 --> 00:40:04,386
Speaker 5: You know what I mean. I mean Lamar, who was

778
00:40:04,426 --> 00:40:05,826
Speaker 5: Lamar throwing to until this year?

779
00:40:06,466 --> 00:40:07,826
Speaker 1: You're crazy? It is different.

780
00:40:07,906 --> 00:40:11,546
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's like so it's I feel like Lamar

781
00:40:11,666 --> 00:40:13,506
Speaker 5: is finally at a plaace.

782
00:40:13,066 --> 00:40:17,026
Speaker 4: Where he has the team that matches his talent, and

783
00:40:17,106 --> 00:40:20,706
Speaker 4: I'm happy. And it's almost like, you know, the cowards

784
00:40:20,706 --> 00:40:24,146
Speaker 4: way is not having to face you know, the guy

785
00:40:24,186 --> 00:40:26,946
Speaker 4: who's his generations, you know, top.

786
00:40:27,026 --> 00:40:29,226
Speaker 5: But I don't want the cowards away. Let's go earn it.

787
00:40:29,506 --> 00:40:31,906
Speaker 4: Let's let's go beat these mothers and then go to

788
00:40:31,986 --> 00:40:35,626
Speaker 4: the super Bowl and you know, whoever, whether it's I

789
00:40:35,626 --> 00:40:38,906
Speaker 4: think both those teams hopefully, like you know, I'm not

790
00:40:38,946 --> 00:40:41,586
Speaker 4: even in if it's not us, it's someone else category

791
00:40:41,626 --> 00:40:42,986
Speaker 4: because I can't even think that way.

792
00:40:43,026 --> 00:40:46,066
Speaker 5: But like, good for the lines if they're there, the Niners.

793
00:40:46,106 --> 00:40:48,906
Speaker 4: You know, those are both good teams that are are

794
00:40:49,066 --> 00:40:50,866
Speaker 4: very worthy super Bowl opponents.

795
00:40:50,866 --> 00:40:54,306
Speaker 1: So you guys, you guys bet both of them.

796
00:40:54,386 --> 00:40:57,586
Speaker 5: Yeah, both those teams up, which you know that's a

797
00:40:57,626 --> 00:40:58,026
Speaker 5: good sign.

798
00:40:58,106 --> 00:41:00,506
Speaker 4: It's not it's not the you know, you never, especially

799
00:41:00,706 --> 00:41:03,266
Speaker 4: a guy like Shanahan, you never want to like it's

800
00:41:03,306 --> 00:41:07,266
Speaker 4: almost like exactly give them too week and you know

801
00:41:07,306 --> 00:41:09,986
Speaker 4: he finally won his first game trailing in the fourth quarter.

802
00:41:10,426 --> 00:41:11,706
Speaker 4: So you know, you don't want you don't want to

803
00:41:11,706 --> 00:41:12,266
Speaker 4: get him hot.

804
00:41:12,346 --> 00:41:16,226
Speaker 1: But I listened to to you talk football. It's like,

805
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:19,626
Speaker 1: you know you're I listened to Dan soder talk about

806
00:41:19,626 --> 00:41:22,746
Speaker 1: either his boy McDaniel with the Dolphins or his Niners,

807
00:41:23,266 --> 00:41:25,906
Speaker 1: and it's like, you guys, know know your stuff. Who

822
00:41:59,626 --> 00:42:01,706
Speaker 4: lucky to have the Patriots be so good for so long.

Speaker 4: Dam is definitely more of a you know, Sam is

Speaker 5: But hoops he knows everything about.

829
00:42:21,746 --> 00:42:24,266

Speaker 5: I mean, you have.

837
00:42:39,226 --> 00:42:40,946

00:42:40,946 --> 00:42:43,586
Speaker 4: of comics and obviously Shane Gillis, I mean, Jane is

839
00:42:43,626 --> 00:42:45,266
Speaker 4: a huge play Shane.

840
00:42:45,506 --> 00:42:47,186
Speaker 1: Shane was talking to it. He was he was being

841
00:42:47,226 --> 00:42:49,226
Speaker 1: interviewed by like I think the ovonn last week and

842
00:42:49,266 --> 00:42:51,266
Speaker 1: he's talking about how Gabe Davis of the Bills one

843
00:42:51,266 --> 00:42:53,426
Speaker 1: of his best friends. I'm like, what is this crossover?

Speaker 4: little videos Shane has seen like he does, Shane's chordatorographed

848
00:43:09,226 --> 00:43:11,426
Speaker 4: touchdown celebrate. I'm trying to get to that. I'm trying

849
00:43:11,466 --> 00:43:15,386
Speaker 4: to get to that level of touchdown celebrations. But you know,

850
00:43:15,546 --> 00:43:18,866
Speaker 4: but yeah, Shane is a huge football fan for sure.

851
00:43:18,866 --> 00:43:20,666
Speaker 4: But yeah, man, I mean there's a lot of you know,

852
00:43:21,506 --> 00:43:23,346
Speaker 4: a lot of these guys, A lot of people love it.

853
00:43:23,706 --> 00:43:25,226
Speaker 5: You know, it matters a lot to people.

854
00:43:25,266 --> 00:43:27,266
Speaker 4: And then you know a lot of sports, a lot

855
00:43:27,306 --> 00:43:30,026
Speaker 4: of comics or fans of other sports too. Basketball fighting

856
00:43:30,066 --> 00:43:33,426
Speaker 4: is huge obviously. But yeah, those are I mean, those

857
00:43:33,426 --> 00:43:36,106
Speaker 4: are especially my circle. Those are the guys Soda for sure,

858
00:43:36,146 --> 00:43:38,586
Speaker 4: Soda and Shane, I would say, for sure.

859
00:43:38,346 --> 00:43:40,666
Speaker 1: When you really blew up from my eyes from like

860
00:43:40,706 --> 00:43:43,866
Speaker 1: a national standpoint or got more mainstream was when you

861
00:43:43,946 --> 00:43:46,946
Speaker 1: had the YouTube special. I think it was post pandemic,

862
00:43:47,026 --> 00:43:49,386
Speaker 1: and it was like when that hits and all of

863
00:43:49,386 --> 00:43:51,266
Speaker 1: a sudden you're looking at it and there's twenty million

864
00:43:51,346 --> 00:43:54,026
Speaker 1: views on YouTube, like your life changes overnight.

865
00:43:54,106 --> 00:43:59,826
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, it was really weird because you think, you think,

866
00:44:00,186 --> 00:44:02,946
Speaker 4: like you start doing comedy and you're like, I'll get

867
00:44:02,986 --> 00:44:05,546
Speaker 4: on HBO or I'll get on Comedy Central. Or I'll

868
00:44:05,546 --> 00:44:08,706
Speaker 4: get on TV and that's when people will know who

869
00:44:08,946 --> 00:44:11,106
Speaker 4: you know, that's when like, that's where I'll get a

870
00:44:11,146 --> 00:44:13,786
Speaker 4: little notoriety and maybe people know who I am. And

871
00:44:13,906 --> 00:44:16,706
Speaker 4: really what happened to me was just posting on the

872
00:44:16,746 --> 00:44:20,106
Speaker 4: internet what like it was like. And to be honest

873
00:44:20,106 --> 00:44:22,986
Speaker 4: with you, it was like it was like before the special.

874
00:44:23,506 --> 00:44:25,986
Speaker 4: It was my weird little strategy to post crowd work

875
00:44:26,026 --> 00:44:29,186
Speaker 4: clips that I never thought would be the successful.

876
00:44:31,826 --> 00:44:32,826
Speaker 1: Crowd which is.

877
00:44:32,746 --> 00:44:33,706
Speaker 5: Of course, sorry.

878
00:44:33,546 --> 00:44:35,866
Speaker 1: Controversial right now with a lot of these comedians who

879
00:44:35,906 --> 00:44:36,986
Speaker 1: strictly do crowd.

880
00:44:36,826 --> 00:44:39,026
Speaker 5: Work, right, and I get that too.

881
00:44:39,066 --> 00:44:42,026
Speaker 4: I mean, so basically, crowd work is, you know, there's

882
00:44:42,426 --> 00:44:44,866
Speaker 4: stand up comedy and crowd work is like any moment

883
00:44:44,946 --> 00:44:47,026
Speaker 4: that's kind of off the cuff, you're talking.

884
00:44:46,706 --> 00:44:47,266
Speaker 5: To the crowd.

885
00:44:47,826 --> 00:44:52,066
Speaker 4: Traditionally, it's like you know your acts, the jokes you

886
00:44:52,146 --> 00:44:54,426
Speaker 4: write there prepared and there's a little bit of there's

887
00:44:54,466 --> 00:44:57,866
Speaker 4: a little bit of you know, improvisation or if something

888
00:44:57,866 --> 00:45:01,666
Speaker 4: happens in the room, you address it and I think

889
00:45:01,786 --> 00:45:02,386
Speaker 4: for the moment.

890
00:45:02,746 --> 00:45:03,306
Speaker 5: And there were.

891
00:45:03,186 --> 00:45:07,066
Speaker 4: Always some comics who their thing was all crowd work,

892
00:45:07,106 --> 00:45:09,666
Speaker 4: all talking to the crowd, all improvising, and they were

893
00:45:09,706 --> 00:45:11,706
Speaker 4: really good at it, and they kind of like really

894
00:45:11,746 --> 00:45:13,426
Speaker 4: worked on it as as skill, and I think for

895
00:45:13,546 --> 00:45:15,866
Speaker 4: most of us, you would do a little of it.

896
00:45:15,946 --> 00:45:17,306
Speaker 5: Like the way I approached it was.

897
00:45:17,266 --> 00:45:20,226
Speaker 4: Like I didn't want people to think I was a

898
00:45:21,426 --> 00:45:23,266
Speaker 4: kind of robot. Then I was just going to get

899
00:45:23,266 --> 00:45:25,426
Speaker 4: out there and do my jokes. I always saw crowd

900
00:45:25,466 --> 00:45:27,906
Speaker 4: work as a way to engage the crowd a little bit,

901
00:45:27,946 --> 00:45:30,626
Speaker 4: talk to them for the first five minutes or so,

902
00:45:31,146 --> 00:45:33,306
Speaker 4: maybe make some jokes, really form some because that's what's

903
00:45:33,306 --> 00:45:36,346
Speaker 4: special about stand up is every show is its own thing.

904
00:45:36,386 --> 00:45:40,546
Speaker 4: Every show is different and every audience. I mean, you'll

905
00:45:40,586 --> 00:45:43,026
Speaker 4: never even if you do the same exact jokes, you'll

906
00:45:43,066 --> 00:45:45,546
Speaker 4: never have that group of people in the same room

907
00:45:45,786 --> 00:45:48,746
Speaker 4: under the same conditions ever again. And I really enjoy

908
00:45:48,826 --> 00:45:51,106
Speaker 4: that because every show is a little different, the energy

909
00:45:51,186 --> 00:45:53,346
Speaker 4: is a little different, and so I always wanted to

910
00:45:53,426 --> 00:45:56,346
Speaker 4: kind of ingratiate myself by not just going right into

911
00:45:56,346 --> 00:45:58,346
Speaker 4: my material but kind of talking to people. But that

912
00:45:58,466 --> 00:46:01,986
Speaker 4: was always, you know, I would do it for five

913
00:46:02,026 --> 00:46:05,386
Speaker 4: minutes out of an hour, and when I was and

914
00:46:05,426 --> 00:46:09,226
Speaker 4: I had to self producer special because nobody was interested

915
00:46:09,306 --> 00:46:09,986
Speaker 4: in my hour.

916
00:46:10,186 --> 00:46:11,946
Speaker 1: Did you try shopping it like you were on the

917
00:46:12,066 --> 00:46:14,106
Speaker 1: four for years. I mean, know, you opened for Robert

918
00:46:14,186 --> 00:46:16,106
Speaker 1: Kelly for years, and like you go and you have

919
00:46:16,146 --> 00:46:19,546
Speaker 1: these meetings with like Comedy Central and HBO and Netflix

920
00:46:19,586 --> 00:46:21,466
Speaker 1: and TB and whatever else, and they're just like, no,

921
00:46:21,506 --> 00:46:22,146
Speaker 1: we're not interesting.

922
00:46:22,426 --> 00:46:23,346
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.

923
00:46:23,346 --> 00:46:25,506
Speaker 4: I mean I think a lot of that was the pandemic.

924
00:46:25,546 --> 00:46:27,946
Speaker 4: I think, you know, some of these places were kind

925
00:46:27,986 --> 00:46:30,906
Speaker 4: of rethinking their strategies. A lot of them were kind

926
00:46:30,906 --> 00:46:34,706
Speaker 4: of cash strap, and I think I just didn't have enough.

927
00:46:34,826 --> 00:46:36,186
Speaker 5: People didn't know me as a stand.

928
00:46:36,066 --> 00:46:39,866
Speaker 4: Up comic thing give me as a podcaster, and I

929
00:46:40,226 --> 00:46:42,426
Speaker 4: don't think I had enough clout to really make it happen.

930
00:46:42,706 --> 00:46:44,866
Speaker 4: So I tried a couple of places were sort of interested,

931
00:46:44,946 --> 00:46:48,186
Speaker 4: but I didn't want to wait around, and I just

932
00:46:48,306 --> 00:46:50,146
Speaker 4: decided I'm gonna shoot it myself.

933
00:46:50,146 --> 00:46:52,106
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put you know, a bunch of money into it.

934
00:46:53,106 --> 00:46:55,346
Speaker 4: But I had no I had a small YouTube following,

935
00:46:55,386 --> 00:46:56,866
Speaker 4: but I didn't have a big one. So I figured

936
00:46:57,266 --> 00:47:00,306
Speaker 4: I'll post old jokes and get people to like because

937
00:47:00,426 --> 00:47:02,466
Speaker 4: people had been, you know, on TikTok, people had been

938
00:47:03,586 --> 00:47:06,666
Speaker 4: engaging with comedy that way. This is like twenty twenty one,

939
00:47:06,786 --> 00:47:09,906
Speaker 4: I think, when so I had seen it, and Sam,

940
00:47:10,026 --> 00:47:13,066
Speaker 4: like my buddy Sam, had been doing really well other comics,

941
00:47:13,186 --> 00:47:15,586
Speaker 4: Mark Norman had been doing really well doing short form stuff.

942
00:47:15,746 --> 00:47:17,986
Speaker 4: And I remember thinking like, ah, that's dumb, that's a

943
00:47:18,026 --> 00:47:20,066
Speaker 4: waste of time. I was, and these guys are in

944
00:47:20,146 --> 00:47:22,226
Speaker 4: theaters off the strength of that, and so I'm like,

945
00:47:22,266 --> 00:47:24,066
Speaker 4: all right, Well, I got to figure something out.

946
00:47:24,146 --> 00:47:25,706
Speaker 5: And so I posted.

947
00:47:25,546 --> 00:47:28,146
Speaker 4: Old jokes because I was also a purist, right, I

948
00:47:28,186 --> 00:47:31,906
Speaker 4: was like, crowd works, bullsh it's it's all about the jokes.

949
00:47:31,906 --> 00:47:33,506
Speaker 4: And then I posted all the old jokes. I didn't

950
00:47:33,506 --> 00:47:35,426
Speaker 4: want to do it anymore, and that they were gone

951
00:47:35,426 --> 00:47:38,866
Speaker 4: in like six days. And then I was like, all right,

952
00:47:39,546 --> 00:47:42,306
Speaker 4: I guess let's see. And I had been preparing. I'd

953
00:47:42,346 --> 00:47:43,746
Speaker 4: been trying to get a crowd work. I'd been trying

954
00:47:43,746 --> 00:47:46,786
Speaker 4: to get a comedy ES Central half hour for about

955
00:47:46,786 --> 00:47:48,866
Speaker 4: a year, and I think maybe that would have happened

956
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:52,906
Speaker 4: if the pandemic didn't happen. So I had recorded every

957
00:47:52,946 --> 00:47:54,986
Speaker 4: set I did for a for a year. I was

958
00:47:55,026 --> 00:47:57,226
Speaker 4: on my I was on my ed red you know,

959
00:47:57,346 --> 00:48:00,106
Speaker 4: play what you know, watching the game tape back.

960
00:48:00,226 --> 00:48:05,946
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this joke.

961
00:48:05,986 --> 00:48:07,826
Speaker 4: We got to get it down in two minutes. It's

962
00:48:07,906 --> 00:48:11,746
Speaker 4: running long, you know, And so I would I was

963
00:48:11,786 --> 00:48:13,146
Speaker 4: a nerd, and then I would watch a lot of

964
00:48:13,146 --> 00:48:15,346
Speaker 4: my old film, a lot of my old shows to

965
00:48:15,426 --> 00:48:18,226
Speaker 4: kind of squeak jokes. And so I just cut up

966
00:48:18,306 --> 00:48:20,706
Speaker 4: all those random moments of crowd work that I told

967
00:48:20,706 --> 00:48:23,386
Speaker 4: you before I never thought would amount anything. I was

968
00:48:23,506 --> 00:48:26,066
Speaker 4: just doing to ingratiate myself to the crowd. And I

969
00:48:26,106 --> 00:48:29,066
Speaker 4: was like, we'll see if anything happens here, and just

970
00:48:29,146 --> 00:48:31,466
Speaker 4: they started doing so well.

971
00:48:31,546 --> 00:48:32,306
Speaker 5: I was shocked.

972
00:48:32,546 --> 00:48:34,586
Speaker 4: And I had about a year's worth of those clips

973
00:48:34,826 --> 00:48:36,546
Speaker 4: and I just posted them to try and get people

974
00:48:36,586 --> 00:48:40,626
Speaker 4: to follow me on YouTube, and it really worked. And yeah, dude,

975
00:48:40,626 --> 00:48:42,786
Speaker 4: from that moment on, it was like it was like

976
00:48:42,986 --> 00:48:45,026
Speaker 4: there was no big moment. There was no big like

977
00:48:45,506 --> 00:48:47,986
Speaker 4: my life has changed moment. There was like one day

978
00:48:48,426 --> 00:48:50,346
Speaker 4: it was actually in Vegas. I was shooting a short

979
00:48:50,346 --> 00:48:54,266
Speaker 4: film and a bunch of you know, Vega is such

980
00:48:54,306 --> 00:48:58,666
Speaker 4: a populated area walking down walking back to Fremont Street. Yeah,

981
00:48:58,706 --> 00:49:00,506
Speaker 4: and I was getting that and I was like, what

Speaker 4: of because it has has a bodily fluid in the

987
00:49:15,386 --> 00:49:17,866

988
00:49:17,866 --> 00:49:20,466
Speaker 4: me like get my start and start touring. But it

989
00:49:20,506 --> 00:49:23,346
Speaker 4: was it was like very online, very niche, and so

990
00:49:23,466 --> 00:49:25,146
Speaker 4: I'm not just out in Vegas and it's just like

991
00:49:25,946 --> 00:49:29,186
Speaker 4: all age groups, all different types of people, and it

992
00:49:29,226 --> 00:49:30,986

993
00:49:31,026 --> 00:49:34,386
Speaker 4: on here? What happened? And it was justgy people watch YouTube.

994
00:49:34,426 --> 00:49:36,986
Speaker 4: It turns out who knows and who knew? And it

995
00:49:37,066 --> 00:49:40,466
Speaker 4: really completely changed my career and I'm so thankful for it.

996
00:49:40,506 --> 00:49:43,426

Speaker 5: I know.

1081
00:53:00,266 --> 00:53:02,866
Speaker 4: I know it is really funny to get the because

1082
00:53:02,906 --> 00:53:06,706
Speaker 4: the Ravens are so cool and because like they let

1083
00:53:06,706 --> 00:53:08,346
Speaker 4: me do you know, I do some on their channel

1084
00:53:08,666 --> 00:53:11,106
Speaker 4: and obviously I have to I can't be it because

1085
00:53:11,106 --> 00:53:17,026
Speaker 4: the character is ignorant, uh, sexually explicit race tolerance, you know,

1086
00:53:17,746 --> 00:53:20,346
Speaker 4: you know it's like and so obviously I can't do

1087
00:53:20,466 --> 00:53:22,706
Speaker 4: that stuff. But there is a there is still a

1088
00:53:22,866 --> 00:53:25,386
Speaker 4: like a humor to them where it's like, yeah, you

1089
00:53:25,386 --> 00:53:27,506
Speaker 4: can do a joke, you can do a version of

1090
00:53:27,506 --> 00:53:29,866
Speaker 4: this that doesn't have to be dirty. But to their credit,

1091
00:53:29,906 --> 00:53:31,906
Speaker 4: they're not the stuff. I still do the character on

1092
00:53:31,946 --> 00:53:35,066
Speaker 4: my own and you could, you know, you could work

1093
00:53:35,146 --> 00:53:38,186
Speaker 4: with a with a brand or like an organization. It's like, hey,

1094
00:53:38,266 --> 00:53:40,826
Speaker 4: while you're doing this stuff for us, can you on

1095
00:53:40,906 --> 00:53:44,026
Speaker 4: your own stuff? Can you like not be is dirty?

1096
00:53:44,146 --> 00:53:46,666
Speaker 4: And to their credit there let me do whatever I will.

1097
00:53:46,666 --> 00:53:49,386
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, do whatever you want, like that's your thing.

1098
00:53:49,706 --> 00:53:52,266
Speaker 4: I just can't do it from like like that. The

1099
00:53:52,306 --> 00:53:54,746
Speaker 4: only the only thing they ever asked are like, hey,

1100
00:53:54,826 --> 00:53:57,266
Speaker 4: don't do it when we give you field access, because

1101
00:53:57,306 --> 00:54:00,786
Speaker 4: then it looks like we're basically signing all do this.

1102
00:54:01,146 --> 00:54:04,026
Speaker 4: Do this from a public place where it was clear

1103
00:54:04,186 --> 00:54:06,426
Speaker 4: you're doing it of your own volition. We're not gonna

1104
00:54:06,466 --> 00:54:09,066
Speaker 4: step on your freedom of speech. But you know, so

1105
00:54:09,146 --> 00:54:10,946
Speaker 4: they're they're the coolest people in the world to work

1106
00:54:10,946 --> 00:54:13,906

Speaker 4: to be able to do this. I mean, it is

1108

1184

1187
00:57:52,786 --> 00:57:55,706
Speaker 4: saw it in the how many how many false starts?

1188
00:57:56,346 --> 00:57:58,026
Speaker 4: And I've seen Patrick Mahomes talking about how he has

1189
00:57:58,026 --> 00:57:59,506
Speaker 4: to use a silent account. It's one of the few

1190
00:57:59,506 --> 00:58:02,066
Speaker 4: places we're not going to make it easy on them.

1191
00:58:02,146 --> 00:58:04,346
Speaker 4: I want to be a part of that. I you know,

1192
00:58:04,546 --> 00:58:06,306
Speaker 4: they gave the opportunity, they invited.

1193
00:58:05,946 --> 00:58:07,786
Speaker 5: Me, So what am I gonna say no to that?

1194
00:58:07,826 --> 00:58:08,666
Speaker 1: I'll make it.

1195
00:58:08,706 --> 00:58:10,866
Speaker 4: I mean to be honest with you, I was real

1196
00:58:10,906 --> 00:58:15,546
Speaker 4: close from cancering those Dallas shows. I canceled on them

1197
00:58:15,626 --> 00:58:17,906
Speaker 4: last time, so this is the makeup and and to

1198
00:58:17,946 --> 00:58:21,266
Speaker 4: be clear, I canceled last time because I didn't I

1199
00:58:21,306 --> 00:58:23,066
Speaker 4: shot my special the night before and I was like,

1200
00:58:23,386 --> 00:58:24,986
Speaker 4: I want to go to Dallas and do I want

1201
00:58:24,986 --> 00:58:27,866
Speaker 4: to have a barbecue and take the next day. So

1202
00:58:28,106 --> 00:58:31,546
Speaker 4: I cancel on them to just get up with my friends.

1203
00:58:31,866 --> 00:58:35,426
Speaker 4: So I can't really again, I'm canceling for a football game.

1204
00:58:35,466 --> 00:58:37,466
Speaker 5: This time is like real disrespect.

1205
00:58:37,466 --> 00:58:39,666
Speaker 4: And Dallas has been throwing enough and they will continue

1206
00:58:39,706 --> 00:58:41,186
Speaker 4: to be to be going through enough.

1207
00:58:41,426 --> 00:58:43,266
Speaker 5: They still got McCarthy over there there.

1208
00:58:43,466 --> 00:58:44,426
Speaker 1: They'll figure it out.

1209
00:58:44,546 --> 00:58:46,986
Speaker 4: They're not they're not winning, so they you know, they

1210
00:58:47,026 --> 00:58:50,706
Speaker 4: at least need a uh couple pick me up that way.

1211
00:58:51,666 --> 00:58:54,746
Speaker 1: The other thing is this Chiefs team comes with a

1212
00:58:54,786 --> 00:58:58,866
Speaker 1: certain celebrity factor to them, with Taylor and Jason Kelsey

1213
00:58:58,906 --> 00:59:04,706
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. Well received in Baltimore, taunted. How

1214
00:59:04,706 --> 00:59:05,146
Speaker 1: does that go?

1215
00:59:06,706 --> 00:59:10,346
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's interesting. I don't think they will be

1216
00:59:10,426 --> 00:59:13,026
Speaker 4: well received. I mean, they are so famous where it's like,

1217
00:59:13,466 --> 00:59:14,506
Speaker 4: you know, and you don't want to be. It's the

1218
00:59:14,546 --> 00:59:17,506
Speaker 4: other thing, it's like, ultimately it's still like it's Taylor's rip.

1219
00:59:17,666 --> 00:59:21,866
Speaker 4: She's a you know, superstar, you know, billionaire pop star.

1220
00:59:21,946 --> 00:59:25,106
Speaker 4: But ultimately it's like it's a player's girlfriend and it's

1221
00:59:25,186 --> 00:59:29,226
Speaker 4: kind of a move to be loved ones, you know

1222
00:59:29,266 --> 00:59:31,546
Speaker 4: what I mean, you don't want to like like you know,

1223
00:59:31,826 --> 00:59:35,186
Speaker 4: and even the fact that she you know, it is cool.

1224
00:59:35,946 --> 00:59:38,466
Speaker 5: But at the same time, it's like, uh, you know,

1225
00:59:38,546 --> 00:59:40,266
Speaker 5: I don't know that everybody will be as enlightened as

1226
00:59:40,306 --> 00:59:40,586
Speaker 5: I am.

1227
00:59:40,626 --> 00:59:42,746
Speaker 4: Peter, I've gotta be honest with you, buddy, I don't

1228
00:59:42,746 --> 00:59:45,106
Speaker 4: know that everybody will feel that way. Like Jay and

1229
00:59:45,346 --> 00:59:49,146
Speaker 4: I love them. I do, unfortunately love the Kelsey. I

1230
00:59:49,266 --> 00:59:51,866
Speaker 4: like what they're doing, so it does. And Jason, so

1231
00:59:52,186 --> 00:59:58,066
Speaker 4: like that's like Jason if Travis Travis, you know, pretty

1232
00:59:58,066 --> 01:00:00,866
Speaker 4: boy tight end. Travis is in the stands and his

1233
01:00:00,986 --> 01:00:04,106
Speaker 4: brother's on the field. But you have the cool salt

1234
01:00:04,146 --> 01:00:06,386
Speaker 4: of the earth dad, you know what, Like he's he's

1235
01:00:06,666 --> 01:00:09,186
Speaker 4: he looked cool in Buffalo. At the same time, it's like,

1236
01:00:10,226 --> 01:00:12,226
Speaker 4: at the same time, if he's coming out in those stands,

1237
01:00:12,426 --> 01:00:14,266
Speaker 4: I don't think it'll be as friendly.

1238
01:00:13,946 --> 01:00:15,626
Speaker 5: As it was in Buffalo. You know.

1239
01:00:15,786 --> 01:00:18,186
Speaker 4: It's like because you think the thing you understand with

1240
01:00:18,186 --> 01:00:22,626
Speaker 4: with guys like Baltimore Natives, they think they can fight

1241
01:00:22,826 --> 01:00:27,906
Speaker 4: Jason Kelsey. They're wrong, they're obviously gon'll get their split,

1242
01:00:28,266 --> 01:00:30,906
Speaker 4: but they think they can take him. There's a guy

1243
01:00:30,946 --> 01:00:33,786
Speaker 4: who like got kicked off his high school football team

1244
01:00:34,106 --> 01:00:37,826
Speaker 4: for stealing catalytic converters in the parking lot, who thinks

1245
01:00:38,026 --> 01:00:39,746
Speaker 4: he would have gone all pro.

1246
01:00:39,586 --> 01:00:40,506
Speaker 5: If it wasn't for that.

1247
01:00:40,826 --> 01:00:44,106
Speaker 4: And he he has gout, he hasn't lifted a weight

1248
01:00:44,186 --> 01:00:47,386
Speaker 4: in ten years, and in his mind, he would fold

1249
01:00:47,506 --> 01:00:50,906
Speaker 4: Jason kelcey up. So that's the thing to be worried about.

1250
01:00:51,066 --> 01:00:54,706
Speaker 4: Is like the unearned Baltimore confidence, you know, when you

1251
01:00:54,746 --> 01:00:58,666
Speaker 4: have somebody showing you up like that. But it sucks

1252
01:00:58,746 --> 01:01:02,066
Speaker 4: to you know, I don't like being I don't like

1253
01:01:02,226 --> 01:01:04,546
Speaker 4: having to be aimed against.

1254
01:01:04,626 --> 01:01:05,466
Speaker 5: I don't like that being.

1255
01:01:05,506 --> 01:01:08,466
Speaker 4: My fan enemy is Jason Kelsey because he's got he's

1256
01:01:08,666 --> 01:01:09,066
Speaker 4: that's a.

1257
01:01:09,026 --> 01:01:11,586
Speaker 5: Powerful brother, you older brother energy.

1258
01:01:11,626 --> 01:01:13,626
Speaker 4: You know, he's away he's also look, let's be honest,

1259
01:01:13,746 --> 01:01:14,866
Speaker 4: he's away from the kids.

1260
01:01:14,866 --> 01:01:18,306
Speaker 5: He's away from Yeah, he's not that team that fell apart,

1261
01:01:18,706 --> 01:01:19,506
Speaker 5: team that fell apart.

1262
01:01:19,546 --> 01:01:23,106
Speaker 4: Towards the end, he's probably just getting fucked up enjoying

1263
01:01:23,146 --> 01:01:26,146
Speaker 4: seeing his brother, Like you understand, and who knows what

1264
01:01:26,146 --> 01:01:28,626
Speaker 4: what celebrities will be in that box. They had a

1265
01:01:28,706 --> 01:01:31,546
Speaker 4: they had a hilarious lineup last time. But I don't

1266
01:01:31,546 --> 01:01:33,506
Speaker 4: know everybody's making the trip. I mean, they man the

1267
01:01:33,546 --> 01:01:34,306
Speaker 4: trip to Buffalo.

1268
01:01:34,666 --> 01:01:36,186
Speaker 5: I don't know. If I make the trip to Baltimore,

1269
01:01:36,186 --> 01:01:36,986
Speaker 5: that'll be interesting.

1270

1273
01:01:45,426 --> 01:01:48,026
Speaker 1: finding any any other? I mean, Michael McCreary would be

1274
01:01:48,026 --> 01:01:48,706
Speaker 1: pretty bad.

1275
01:01:48,506 --> 01:01:52,026
Speaker 5: As I thought. McCreary. I love McCrary. I am.

1276

1343
01:04:56,386 --> 01:04:59,666
Speaker 1: Aaron stop vi baby, the Pride of Baltimore. What'd you

1344
01:04:59,706 --> 01:05:00,346
Speaker 1: think you know?

1345
01:05:00,386 --> 01:05:04,266
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about like Baltimore and Lamar having to be

1346
01:05:04,426 --> 01:05:06,626
Speaker 2: on top of his game and like see pressure and

1347
01:05:06,666 --> 01:05:10,626
Speaker 2: scramble if the pressure's coming in. That was me keeping

1348
01:05:10,666 --> 01:05:13,106
Speaker 2: track of every single time he cursed on air that

1349
01:05:13,186 --> 01:05:14,866
Speaker 2: I need to make sure we bleep out.

1350
01:05:14,906 --> 01:05:16,186
Speaker 1: That was He was great.

1351
01:05:16,266 --> 01:05:18,906
Speaker 2: I mean, he's I've seen his videos from when he

1352
01:05:18,906 --> 01:05:21,746
Speaker 2: would record him in his car doing raven stuff like

1353
01:05:22,466 --> 01:05:26,626
Speaker 2: it's so great. I love him, and I also didn't

1354
01:05:26,666 --> 01:05:31,226
Speaker 2: know I've I needed the like celeb fan fight between

1355
01:05:31,346 --> 01:05:33,506
Speaker 2: Jason Kelsey and Stave and that's awesome.

1356
01:05:33,906 --> 01:05:35,946
Speaker 1: I bet you Kelsey knows who stab is. He's that

1357
01:05:36,066 --> 01:05:38,186
Speaker 1: popular online, Like I bet you, like it's not the

1358
01:05:38,226 --> 01:05:41,186
Speaker 1: first time he's seen him and if he especially lives online,

1359
01:05:41,186 --> 01:05:43,426
Speaker 1: which I think the Kelsey's do with their podcasts and

1360
01:05:43,466 --> 01:05:45,986
Speaker 1: with their YouTube content, like I feel like they've probably

1361
01:05:46,266 --> 01:05:48,986
Speaker 1: seen some of his work. But I actually, you know,

1362
01:05:49,386 --> 01:05:51,346
Speaker 1: I hit it a little bit. Like I listened to

1363
01:05:51,386 --> 01:05:53,666
Speaker 1: a lot of these comedy podcasts and he's one of

1364
01:05:53,746 --> 01:05:55,706
Speaker 1: them because when I'm not doing football, just like the

1365
01:05:55,786 --> 01:05:58,106
Speaker 1: zone out and laugh and like I think he's really funny,

1366
01:05:58,106 --> 01:06:00,066
Speaker 1: and I meant it when I'm saying how smart he is.

1367
01:06:01,266 --> 01:06:03,026
Speaker 1: They talk ball, and like I want to be like

1368
01:06:03,066 --> 01:06:05,866
Speaker 1: a guest on their pod sometimes like it's there's it's

1369
01:06:06,106 --> 01:06:08,826
Speaker 1: they follow the game and it's him and it's Dan

1370
01:06:08,906 --> 01:06:11,586
Speaker 1: Soder and Sam Maurile and like I appreciate that. And

1371
01:06:11,866 --> 01:06:13,626
Speaker 1: as much as the Taylor Swift stuff has brought in

1372
01:06:13,706 --> 01:06:17,306
Speaker 1: an audience for the NFL, Like there's also this comedy

1373
01:06:17,306 --> 01:06:20,426
Speaker 1: world where I mentioned it, Shane Gillis is best friends

1374
01:06:20,426 --> 01:06:23,226
Speaker 1: with Dave Davis, and I saw Cole Beasley was on

1375
01:06:23,306 --> 01:06:26,826
Speaker 1: THEO Vaughn's podcast. Like the comedy world in the NFL

1376
01:06:26,866 --> 01:06:29,146
Speaker 1: has always had a connection and we'll see it in

1377
01:06:29,266 --> 01:06:31,106
Speaker 1: NFL Honors with Keith and Michael Key and all that.

1378
01:06:31,146 --> 01:06:33,706
Speaker 1: But like there's also like this podcasting world where those

1379
01:06:33,706 --> 01:06:35,706
Speaker 1: guys love ball too, and I just think it's great.

1380
01:06:36,786 --> 01:06:40,306
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I always love obviously when there's someone

1381
01:06:40,346 --> 01:06:43,426
Speaker 2: like you who knows football and has connections to the

1382
01:06:43,426 --> 01:06:47,626
Speaker 2: inside and like can can speak to football in a

1383
01:06:47,666 --> 01:06:50,426
Speaker 2: way that I am on a unable to, Like you

1384
01:06:50,586 --> 01:06:54,386
Speaker 2: have like this historical knowledge and these connections, and that's

1385
01:06:54,506 --> 01:06:57,266
Speaker 2: so important and a valuable listen. And then there's this

1386
01:06:57,306 --> 01:06:59,346
Speaker 2: totally other way of listening to football where it's like,

1387
01:06:59,386 --> 01:07:02,506
Speaker 2: here are two guys who are just like joking around

1388
01:07:02,666 --> 01:07:05,826
Speaker 2: and maybe like they watched the game together like with

1389
01:07:05,906 --> 01:07:09,666
Speaker 2: a couple, and they were you know, like they had

1390
01:07:09,666 --> 01:07:12,386
Speaker 2: been riding dirt bikes earlier in the day or whatever,

1391
01:07:12,426 --> 01:07:16,106
Speaker 2: like a totally different view of the game than what

1392
01:07:16,146 --> 01:07:18,986
Speaker 2: you've got, which is an amazing thing to have both

1393
01:07:19,026 --> 01:07:19,666
Speaker 2: of those sides.

1394
01:07:19,746 --> 01:07:22,906
Speaker 1: I love it. The Ronnie character, he nailed it, who

1395
01:07:23,226 --> 01:07:25,626
Speaker 1: who he died? Like, I don't have a face for

1396
01:07:25,666 --> 01:07:28,066
Speaker 1: that character. Don't like you, you don't need to know

1397
01:07:28,146 --> 01:07:30,386
Speaker 1: what that means, just like you watch it. The accent

1398
01:07:30,506 --> 01:07:33,106
Speaker 1: is so funny and the way Stobby looks it works

1399
01:07:33,106 --> 01:07:35,666
Speaker 1: so perfect. So I'm happy for his success. I mean

1400
01:07:36,146 --> 01:07:38,426
Speaker 1: he's being humbled. This guy's a megastar. And you might

1401
01:07:38,426 --> 01:07:40,026
Speaker 1: be like, well, I don't really know his name. I'm

1402
01:07:40,066 --> 01:07:42,586
Speaker 1: not familiar. Is that is? That is he as big

1403
01:07:42,626 --> 01:07:45,666
Speaker 1: as Dave Chappelle or Joe Coy or Chris Rock In

1404
01:07:45,746 --> 01:07:50,986
Speaker 1: today's comedy world, podcasting is where money's made, Touring is

1405
01:07:51,026 --> 01:07:54,346
Speaker 1: where money is made, and YouTube is where money is made.

1406
01:07:54,426 --> 01:07:57,346
Speaker 1: And I assure you, like he's not stressing that he

1407
01:07:57,346 --> 01:07:59,506
Speaker 1: doesn't have a Comedy Central half hour or that he's

1408
01:07:59,546 --> 01:08:00,986
Speaker 1: on Jimmy Fallon One Night.

1409
01:08:02,466 --> 01:08:06,226
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like he said, his newest special Thatt Raskell

1410
01:08:06,266 --> 01:08:10,906
Speaker 2: on Netflix. Now everyone's Netflix homepage is different, but it's

1411
01:08:10,946 --> 01:08:12,746
Speaker 2: like right there on my owning splash.

1412
01:08:12,826 --> 01:08:13,066
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:08:13,066 --> 01:08:15,826
Speaker 1: So yeah, check out check out live from the whatever

1414
01:08:15,866 --> 01:08:18,426
Speaker 1: it was called Live. How many you I want to

1415
01:08:18,466 --> 01:08:20,506
Speaker 1: know how many? I said twenty million. I don't think

1416
01:08:21,426 --> 01:08:22,586
Speaker 1: I don't think that's far off.

1417
01:08:22,786 --> 01:08:28,186
Speaker 2: What's it got Live at the Lodge Room has six

1418
01:08:28,226 --> 01:08:29,066
Speaker 2: point three million?

1419
01:08:29,386 --> 01:08:31,986
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was a little generous. Still, six point

1420
01:08:31,986 --> 01:08:34,186
Speaker 1: three million people have clicked and watched a full hour

1421
01:08:34,226 --> 01:08:36,946
Speaker 1: of comedy that's pretty good. Quick notes before we wrap

1422
01:08:37,026 --> 01:08:41,266
Speaker 1: this thing. I got the note last night from a

1423
01:08:41,426 --> 01:08:46,866
Speaker 1: source and it's just getting public now. Fifty million Americans

1424
01:08:47,106 --> 01:08:52,346
Speaker 1: was the average number of that Bills versus Chiefs game.

1425
01:08:52,466 --> 01:08:56,706
Speaker 1: Eyeballs wise, in a world where word cutting has hilled,

1426
01:08:57,426 --> 01:09:01,146
Speaker 1: you know, television in a lot of ways, fifty million

1427
01:09:01,906 --> 01:09:04,346
Speaker 1: people and at one point in between nine to fifteen

1428
01:09:04,386 --> 01:09:08,106
Speaker 1: and nine thirty, fifty five million people were watching as

1429
01:09:08,106 --> 01:09:12,066
Speaker 1: a collective whole. The NFL's king. The NFL is king,

1430
01:09:12,146 --> 01:09:14,106
Speaker 1: and we'll have two great games this weekend. I don't

1431
01:09:14,146 --> 01:09:17,626
Speaker 1: know if it'll hit Bill's Chiefs, but Lions Niners sure

1432
01:09:17,666 --> 01:09:19,746
Speaker 1: brings a big audience to Fox. That game kicks off

1433
01:09:19,746 --> 01:09:21,426
Speaker 1: at six thirty, and of course the early game, which

1434
01:09:21,426 --> 01:09:25,666
Speaker 1: I will be at, Chiefs versus Ravens. Aaron awesome, Pod

1435
01:09:25,826 --> 01:09:27,306
Speaker 1: loved it. We didn't even hit any of the coaching

1436
01:09:27,346 --> 01:09:29,066
Speaker 1: stuff that's going on right now. I have tons of

1437
01:09:29,066 --> 01:09:31,506
Speaker 1: insight on that. I guess we'll wait till next week

1438
01:09:31,506 --> 01:09:33,826
Speaker 1: to hit it. I do want to do the season

1439
01:09:33,866 --> 01:09:36,786
Speaker 1: with Peter Schragger delivering results presented by Uber Eats. It's

1440
01:09:36,906 --> 01:09:39,346
Speaker 1: time for delivering results presented by Uber Eats. I'm gonna

1441
01:09:39,346 --> 01:09:43,226
Speaker 1: give love to Dre Greenlaw, the linebacker for the San

1442
01:09:43,226 --> 01:09:46,426
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers, who in the biggest game had

1443
01:09:46,506 --> 01:09:50,106
Speaker 1: eight tackles and two huge interceptions. Now Greg Olsen and

1444
01:09:50,146 --> 01:09:52,786
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhart were screaming their heads off to get down,

1445
01:09:52,826 --> 01:09:55,386
Speaker 1: to get down, to get down. Well, he thought he

1446
01:09:55,426 --> 01:09:56,986
Speaker 1: was going to run that one back at the end.

1447
01:09:57,386 --> 01:09:59,986
Speaker 1: I so appreciate guys who stepped up in the biggest

1448
01:10:00,026 --> 01:10:02,746
Speaker 1: moments and in that game for the forty nine Ers,

1449
01:10:02,746 --> 01:10:06,386
Speaker 1: their two best players might have arguably been Juwan Jenning

1450
01:10:06,626 --> 01:10:09,146
Speaker 1: and Drake Greenlaw, who do not get much love, but

1451
01:10:09,186 --> 01:10:12,386
Speaker 1: have been there all season long for them. Dre Greenlaw,

1452
01:10:12,426 --> 01:10:15,026
Speaker 1: of course a long time member of that team, and

1453
01:10:15,106 --> 01:10:18,506
Speaker 1: he saved his best for last, which I so appreciate.

1454
01:10:19,386 --> 01:10:21,866
Speaker 1: So as we say that, I say this, it was

1455
01:10:21,906 --> 01:10:24,426
Speaker 1: delivering results presented by Uber Eats, where you can get

1456
01:10:24,466 --> 01:10:28,906
Speaker 1: almost almost anything. It's the official on demand delivery partner

1457
01:10:29,026 --> 01:10:32,186
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Order. Now, guys who are on a

1458
01:10:32,186 --> 01:10:34,746
Speaker 1: hot streak here, I'm picking every game right. My picks,

1459
01:10:35,266 --> 01:10:37,226
Speaker 1: as I've already said, are going to be forty nine

1460
01:10:37,346 --> 01:10:39,546
Speaker 1: Ers and the Chiefs. That's who I think is going

1461
01:10:39,546 --> 01:10:41,986
Speaker 1: to the Super Bolt. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm

1462
01:10:41,986 --> 01:10:43,826
Speaker 1: not too proud to come on the next day and

1463
01:10:43,866 --> 01:10:45,346
Speaker 1: say I had it wrong. The truth of the matter

1464
01:10:45,426 --> 01:10:47,626
Speaker 1: is I predicted it in September and I'm going with

1465
01:10:47,666 --> 01:10:51,706
Speaker 1: it now. Niners versus Chiefs. That's how it's laid out

1466
01:10:51,706 --> 01:10:54,426
Speaker 1: in my head. We'll see how it goes. For Aaron

1467
01:10:54,466 --> 01:10:57,866
Speaker 1: Wan Kauffman, Jason English. For all the folks on the

1468
