The Commanders are 28 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: having all the quarterbacks, that being Jaden Daniels, Drake May 29 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy in for kind of final interviews next week, 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: maybe making their final decision. A lot of people on 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: the internet that cover football thought that was weird. We'll 32 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: dive into why that's not weird at all. Scouting reports 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: on these quarterbacks. I saw an article on the Athletic 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: that had some things that jumped out to me from 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: unnamed scouts and unnamed executives. Josh Allen not the quarterback 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: the pass rusher signed a big deal and why I 37 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: think he's a pretty good example of you know, not 38 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: everyone pops.

I was thinking about it today. 75 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: I'm thirty nine years old and I've had one interview 76 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: in my entire life. Not that I've interviewed somebody, I'm 77 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: saying interviewed for a job. It happened to me one time. 78 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: Fresno State didn't even have to interview anything in radio 79 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: or obviously podcasts. Zero interviews. I interviewed for the Eagles, 80 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: and I flew back there and you boy got the 81 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: job that day. But that's the only interview I ever had. 82 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: So when it comes to what these players are going through, 83 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people listening, I've had a lot of 84 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: friends and know a lot of people that work in 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: more corporate structures, and when you interview for bigger jobs, 86 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: it's usually not a one time thing. When I interviewed 87 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: for the Eagles, now, granted you know big ego boost, 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: I got it that day. It was a twenty five 89 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars job. Now, there were several other people there 90 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: interviewing for the same position, but there were also other 91 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: people interviewing for higher level jobs, and it was a 92 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: multiple step process. Me got a couple recommendations, interviewed well, 93 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: met a couple people, smiled, they liked my personality. That's 94 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: not usual. That's not typical for big jobs. Entry level 95 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: jobs much easier to pivot if the guy fails. But 96 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: how many of you listening right now did have interviewed 97 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: for a big upgrade position with a company to leave 98 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: a company. If you are the person interviewing for high 99 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: priced jobs, whatever that may be, whether that's going from 100 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: eighty grand to one hundred and fifty grand, whether that's 101 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: a three hundred and four one thousand dollar job, whatever 102 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: it may be. Usually it's not just a one off scenario. 103 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: They usually interview you multiple times. There's initial meetings, there 104 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: may be a secondary meeting, and maybe there's a final 105 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: out to dinner meet with the board of directors or 106 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: whatever you may be doing. That's part of business when 107 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: you are investing a lot of money, and for most companies, 108 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: even multi million dollar companies, hiring someone making hundreds of 109 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars is a big, you know, big hire. Well, 110 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL, the biggest hire you can make, obviously 111 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: is a high draft pick, right because not only are 112 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: you investing a ton of like what we consider draft 113 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: capital at first, second, or third round pick, you're making 114 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: that pick in hopes to one day pay that guy 115 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars because of what they did 116 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: after the last CBA. Whoever gets drafted second will make 117 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: thirty five to forty million dollars guaranteed. But when I 118 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: make that pick, as Adam Peters, just like the Bears 119 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: when they inevitably take Caleb Williams, In my mind, I'm 120 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: already thinking about the second contract. You're not drafting them 121 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: thinking worst case scenario. Let's face it, you're thinking best 122 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: case scenario. It's why Caleb Williams gets compared to Patrick 123 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes and not random quarterbacks throughout the league. Right, we'll 124 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: get into some of the scattering reports. The Michael Vicks 125 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: and the Justin Herbert's are getting thrown around, not Daniel Jones. 126 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Well maybe, and we'll get into that. But my point 127 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: is that all the commanders are bringing these three guys in, 128 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: and I saw a lot of people that cover the 129 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: NFL as like, if you haven't figured it out by now, 130 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing. Of course, when you 131 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: bring a guy in or multiple people in for final interviews, 132 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: you are leaning some way. We're all human beings. You're 133 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna like one guy maybe more than the other. No 134 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: different when you see these coaching searches usually starts out, 135 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: let's just pick up number ten people. You interview ten guys, 136 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: and then you cut it down to your final three. Well, 137 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: guess what when they go to the final three interviews, 138 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: they probably are leaning a certain way going into it. 139 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: Now that can change the defining thing for all these 140 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: guys obviously is their ability to play the game, and 141 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: that has been defined over several years playing football. Drake 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: May multiple year starter, Jaden Daniels several year starter, and 143 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy multiple year starter. Tape speaks for itself, and 144 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: we all know as quarterbacks the intangible aspect of it 145 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: all is very, very important. Not many fucking losers excel 146 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, right. It's usually smart, hardworking, driven 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: human beings. And if you are going to be a 148 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: little immature and maybe not have the best work ethic, 149 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: you've got to have elite physical skills I e. Ben Roethlisberger. 150 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: But typically the guys that grind, the guys that work 151 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: the hardest, the guys who are the best leaders, are 152 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: the best players at that position. Consistently. There are some outliers. 153 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: Brett Favre's work ethic wasn't as great as some. He 154 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: also had the greatest arm of all time. The other 155 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in his generation, Steve Young, Troy Aikman checked all 156 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: the off the field right. Aaron Rodgers probably could get 157 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: away with some stuff. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning couldn't 158 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: because of his physical gifts. But I would imagine even 159 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers' work ethic didn't equal Peyton and Tom's, 160 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: it was still pretty damn good. So everyone going, I 161 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: can't believe they're bringing these guys in for like one 162 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: final round. You can't. I would take an educated guess 163 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: that they are leaning a certain way with this pick 164 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: and the player that they're gonna pick. But wouldn't you 165 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: want to get one final sit down with them all 166 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: to go? Are we really sure? Because let's face it, 167 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: when you make this selection, just like anyone that makes 168 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: a selection, no matter how excited you are. And these 169 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: videos in a couple weeks are gonna go viral. People 170 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: hugging people, chest bumping people, saying f yeah, hell yeah, 171 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: and huge high fives. It's awesome. It's one of the 172 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: coolest parts about Draft Night. Remember last year Dan Campbell 173 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: and his GM Brad Holmes, when they traded back and 174 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: they still got gives the running back. They went nuts 175 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: because they were as confident as humanly possible. But you 176 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: still don't know, right, You're only as confident as you 177 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: can be when the pick. But we've seen all the 178 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: time people be confident in the guy not turn out 179 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: to be really good. So you better be as confident, 180 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: and making a pick at quarterback is way more complicated, right, 181 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: because even if I miss on a wide receiver, well 182 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: maybe he's not our number one. Can the guy be 183 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: a number two? Even when I miss on defensive lineman. Yeah, 184 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: he may not be a star, but he still gets 185 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: to rotate in. If my quarterback sucks and this guy 186 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: isn't the one, let's face it, we're screwed. It's just 187 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: that simple. It's a major problem. And in a couple 188 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: of years he will not be on the team and 189 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: we'll be looking for another guy. Colin and I talk 190 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: about it all the time. The timeline of getting three 191 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: or four years at that position is done. You get 192 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: like two and a half max. Some guys get one 193 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: and a half. Trey Lance got four starts. They're like, 194 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: get out of here, you're not good enough. Zach Wilson, 195 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: they knew after a year two, but because they brought 196 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers, he got like, uh kind of an 197 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: extra year that they clearly regretted. Mac Jones got three. 198 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: Fields got three, and really they didn't. Mac Jones we 199 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,599 Speaker 1: knew early on in the season was not going to 200 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: be back. And Justin Field's the moment they were getting 201 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick around, I would say November 202 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: was done in the Chicago Bear. That's how fast it happens. 203 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: So I have no problem, just like any human being hiring, 204 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: if you're a small business and you're gonna hire someone 205 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: that's going to play an important role in your company, 206 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: a CFO, a CEO, a marketing manager, whatever, doing several 207 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: interviews with multiple people, and that's what the commanders are doing. 208 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: I would bring all these guys in. Now, I don't know, 209 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, we don't have all the details. Are they 210 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: all coming together? Is one coming Monday, one coming Tuesday, 211 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: one coming Wednesday, which I would imagine is probably what 212 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: ends up happening, because be a little awkward if they're 213 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: all like the steakhouse on a Tuesday night together. But 214 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: I think this is the right move and I don't 215 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: think this is weird at all. I wanted to dive 216 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: into some scouting reports in this article that I found 217 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: in the Athletic. Basically, shit, I didn't write down the 218 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: guy's name. My bad. I'm not trying to just aggregate 219 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: your stuff without giving you credit. But it's on the Athletic. 220 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: It's basically breaks down the top quarterbacks, and it gets 221 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of unnamed scouts, assistant coaches, GMS, scouting directors. 222 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: I love this type stuff. The media is like, put 223 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: your name on it. It's like, guys, they're not allowed 224 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: to put their name on it. That's not how it works. 225 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: But we yearn for this content. And let's start with 226 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels, who in this article was universally considered the 227 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: number two quarterback as in Fantasyland. You guys QB two, right, 228 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: Caleb's QB one. It's pointless to even talk about any 229 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: of his quotes. He's going number one. We don't even 230 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: need to waste any time. Like he's gonna be on. 231 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: The Bears will evaluate him as a player whenever the 232 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: game start. But I think all these other players, what's 233 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: fascinating is like, which one are you gonna choose? Part 234 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: of last year with Bryce and CJ was like, listen, 235 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers had a choice, right, and they chose the 236 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: wrong guy. The Dolphins once upon a time had the 237 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: choice Herbert or Tua. They took Tua, even though in 238 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: fairness to them at the time it wasn't as crazy 239 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: as his age. Dolphins fans were like middlecoff, What the 240 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: fuck are you talking about? TUA playoffs? Not a soul 241 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: in the league who would take two over Herbert. But 242 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,319 Speaker 1: this is not about those guys. This is about Jaden Daniels. 243 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: And one thing stood out to me in this little 244 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: blurb from a scout. Jaden probably made more progress than 245 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: any quarterback coming out in the last five or six years. 246 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: He can anticipate, make all the throws and is an 247 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: explosive athlete as a scrambler. He's not Lamar or Vic, 248 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: but his ability to process pre snap has improved as 249 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: a passer, which is hard to do in one year. 250 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: Here's what I found interesting. We know he started working 251 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: with virtual reality this season, he got those VR reps 252 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: and that's when he took off. I honestly, maybe I've 253 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: missed it. I didn't see this story. I remember years 254 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: ago when Stanford started doing it with their quarterbacks. How 255 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: you could take these mental reps right? Historically have always 256 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: been in a classroom watching film with your position coach, 257 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: your coordinator, your head coach, going over what you should do. 258 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: But I don't know about you. When I was in 259 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: school and they would do power points, it was harder 260 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: to focus. I never learned like that caw Poly. We 261 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: learned by doing some of you are can you know, 262 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: take that information and then take it back to the field. 263 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: I do think this middle ground of you're not actually 264 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: on the field, but this VR is just gonna be. 265 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: And I would imagine a lot of teams now you know, 266 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: participate with virtual reality in their operation. It's kind of genius. 267 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we all learned differently. Some guys can only 268 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: learn from the field. Some guys can learn in the 269 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: classroom and go to the field and need one rep 270 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: and they're good. And most people somewhere in the middle 271 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. I think that's how I am. 272 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: That's how you are, Like most people aren't one way 273 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: or the other. It's kind of hearing it over and over, 274 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: repping it out in whatever you're doing. Practice the ten 275 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: thousand hours. And he's a guy, little bit of a 276 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: late bloomer, got around really good players, a really good 277 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: coach and excelled. Now here's the thing, Lamar Jackson's the 278 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: best running quarterback I've ever seen in terms of explosion, 279 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: in terms of instincts, and in terms of not getting hits, 280 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: like he can avoid these hits. Michael Vick was probably 281 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: the most explosive runner we've ever seen, but he could 282 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: not avoid hits. He actually like yearned to hit people, 283 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: which is a problem when you're actually kind of small. 284 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Michael's not the biggest guy, and he'd get hurt a lot. 285 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: I think Jaden is just a really good athletic quarterback. 286 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: But that's where it gets back to the concerns of 287 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: the weight. But if you don't have concerns on anticipatory throws, 288 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: layering throws, processing information, like if the commanders feel good 289 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: about that, like this guy's gonna go number two, overall 290 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: some more stuff. Jaden his quarterback too. He can start 291 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: immediately better learn to protect himself, or he'll be in 292 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: the cold tub often. That's the thing, that's the Michael 293 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: Vick thing. If you can't avoid the hits or seek 294 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: the hits out, you are done in this league. I 295 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: don't care if you're Cam Newton. Cam Newton was out 296 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: of the league in his early thirties. Sometimes you see 297 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: these highlights of Cam Newton early on in Carolina or 298 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: at Auburn, you're like, is this the greatest athlete factoring 299 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: in the size I've ever seen it the position, But 300 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: just taking a pounding, Taking a pounding, taking a pounding 301 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: fucking wears on you. I don't care if like the 302 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: you know me and Joe Greens and the John Lynches 303 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: and those type players are out of the league. It's 304 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: still a vicious game and these guys are running faster 305 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: than ever, So that to me is a huge concern. 306 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: Even if you feel good about the processing and stuff, 307 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: can you teach that now? I've always believed that you 308 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: kind of are who you are as an instinctive player 309 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: at whatever you do. It's hard to completely change and 310 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: take that out. You're either fearless, or you kind of 311 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: hesitate and or you're just naturally avoiding. Frank Gore is 312 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: a running back, was elite and he played for fifty 313 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: years because he never, you know, went out of his 314 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: way for contact. He avoided it and that helped the 315 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: longevity of his career. When you're banging, banging, banging banging, 316 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: it's just brutal. Listen, I grew up, you know, I 317 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: didn't grow up on a ranch, but I was going 318 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: to the ranch a lot as a kid. Wear and 319 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: tear ranch miles on trucks is a lot different than 320 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: me driving my Tahoe around town. So the wear and 321 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: tear of getting blasted all the time as a quarterback 322 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: or running back is a reason so many running backs 323 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. So the reason Cam Newton fall 324 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: off a cliff. So I think you got to try it, 325 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: and there's no way to know. You just have to 326 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: get a feel for the guy. If you think he 327 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: can change a little bit, if it was him trying 328 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: to prove something, if we can, well that's just kind 329 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: of how he is when he's instinctively playing. To me, 330 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: that's probably the biggest concern, and that's where the weight 331 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: comes in people like him. I mean that's pretty clear. 332 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: And listen, I remember just throwing on the YouTube on 333 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: Malik Neighbors. I'm like, how good is this guy? And 334 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: it's hard not to just be wowed. With Jayden Daniels 335 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: last but not least, he could end up being the 336 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: best one, very good athlete, arm talent. I think he 337 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: sees it and can process big drop off after him 338 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: and Caleb. Here's where I think it gets interesting with 339 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: Drake may Is everything is a projection and for what 340 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: Herbert kind of has become, I don't think he was 341 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: viewed that coming out. He is way better than anyone 342 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: thought he would be. Where Josh Allen, there were people 343 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: if you were betting on Josh Allen, he thought he 344 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: would be a star. You were getting at you know. 345 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: Is basically like walking into home plate you're down a 346 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: run or two and you have to hit a home 347 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: run to extend the game. You're either going to strike 348 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: out or hit a home run. There was no middle 349 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: ground with him. Now. Josh Allen is much more talented 350 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: in my opinion than Drake May, but he is in 351 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: the mold of like you're either gonna hit one off 352 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: the wall here, maybe it won't be a home run, 353 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: but you're either getting a double or triple or this 354 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be a disaster, and those are the riskiest picks. 355 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: But part of life is risking it. Like if you 356 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: stay in the slow lane your entire life, you're gonna 357 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: get fucking lapped. You're like, oh, the mortgage racer too high. 358 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: I can't afford this, Well you sure, cause if you can't, 359 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: maybe you'll rent your whole life. You know, obviously, if 360 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: you don't have the money, don't have the money. But 361 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: how often you hear I wish, you know, I should 362 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: have bought then I should. There's always I guy, I 363 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: wish I would have done this, Then I should have 364 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: invested in that stock. Then I've met a million of 365 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: those guys and they're telling the same story forever, and 366 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: it never changes now in the NFL, Like sometimes in 367 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: real life, if you don't invest in something whatever, you 368 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: get more opportunities. You might only get one in the NFL. 369 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: So if you're Adam Peters and you take this and 370 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: it backfires, it could be a disaster. It could cost 371 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: you your one shot as a GM, especially if it's 372 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: really ugly. And if you take Drake May over Jayden 373 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: Daniels and then Jayden becomes a star, that's a problem. 374 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: It is, and he knows that, like that's part of 375 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: the business. But here's a very interesting quote on Drake 376 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: May because we only talk about the ceiling. I say 377 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: this all the time with comps. It's always like, oh, 378 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: this this wide receiver. He reminds me a lot of 379 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. I see Keenan Allen. You know, I see 380 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: some Mike Evans. We're never like, you know, this dude 381 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: reminds me of like the fourth wide receiver on the 382 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Remember that rotational guy for the New York 383 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: Giants two years ago. He was like kind of moved 384 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: to the slots sometimes he had thirty catches. That's who 385 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: he kind of if you say that in the draft rooms, 386 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: like what so you're always compared him. He's got a 387 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: little Davante with a little Tyreek speed. It's always like, 388 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, he's got a little Herbert meets a little 389 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. You would never be like, you know, he's 390 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: got like Cleveland Baker mixed in with a little Vegas 391 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, and he'd be like, h don't feel as good. 392 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: That's why you always hear like with Jayden Lamar's vics, 393 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you don't hear all the scrubs 394 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: that couldn't play. I know a lot of people that 395 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: look at the ceiling, but you've got to look how 396 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: low the floor is. A guy like Drake May has 397 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot of room to grow. He's young, he hasn't 398 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: played nearly as much football only two years of starting. 399 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: May reminds me a lot of Herbert May Is Herbert Light. 400 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: Take everything Herbert does and make it less. They'll be 401 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 1: compared because of the size but there's no comparison. I 402 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: like may but when I see the amount of work 403 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: it will take to have him reach his potential, we'll 404 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: be fired first. I have no problem taking big swings. 405 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: I really don't with these, you know, when you're high 406 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: in the draft. But the risk is astronomical because the 407 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: pace of the pressure has never been higher. The amount 408 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: that we all talk about this, the league talks about this, 409 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: and ultimately how fast the owner will want to pivot. 410 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: What I'm paying one of these quarterbacks, it doesn't hinder 411 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: me from moving on. It doesn't stop me from cutting them, 412 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: trading them, getting rid of them for nothing. We have 413 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: seen it over and over. Now, all these quarterbacks that failed, 414 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: we're on other teams very very fast in recent memory, 415 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: very very fast. I mean Baker Mayfield's on US fourteen. 416 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's on US fourteen. Think about that. All those 417 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: guys from the Zack Wilson draft. Other teams, they're begging 418 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: someone to give them a seventh round pick for Zack 419 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: Wilson right now, begging. No one will do it because 420 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: no one wants them for seven eight million dollars as 421 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: their backup quarterback. They're gonna have to eat some money, 422 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: ultimately unload them. And when you talk about potential, which 423 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: is what you have to do in a draft, it's 424 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: one thing with a position player, it's another thing with quarterback. 425 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: And even if you have Marcus Mariota, Jacobe Burssett or 426 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: whatever on your roster, if you're not good early on, 427 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: there is not a fucking soul that watches your team 428 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: that is gonna want to watch that guy play, and 429 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: they will scream and scream and scream, and you can 430 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: say all you want, we don't listen to the outside noise. 431 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: We're insulated. Your owner does. He listens to sports talk 432 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: radio podcast and watched the shows every single day because 433 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: if I owned a team, I would too, and so 434 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: would you. So the coaches may not, even though a 435 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: lot of them do. The gms definitely do a little 436 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: bit more, But the owner is the only one that matters. 437 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: And when his fans are screaming, I can't watch this 438 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: ninth year retread backup quarterback anymore. Throw the young guy in, 439 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: which is the right move. But when you get these 440 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: huge projects, it can derail you immediately, it really can. 441 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: Listen the masters is going on right now. Some of 442 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: the guys crushing it right now in golf, I was 443 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: talking to a buddy who played at Oregon who now 444 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: works Robbie, who works for Adidas, and we were talking 445 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: about how good Max Hooma was in college. When Max 446 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: Hooma left college, he was the national champion. He's currently 447 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: as I turned the TV off, he was four under 448 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,880 Speaker 1: actually just bogied. Maybe he's three hundred. Max Hooma sucked 449 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: as a pro, was holding on for dear life. He 450 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: didn't pop till his late twenties, early thirties. He got 451 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: eaten alive. Now, golf's a little different than football, but 452 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: we're seeing it happen in football, guys who aren't quite 453 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: ready at that position get destroyed. Where when I was 454 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: a kid in like the nineties, you got several years, 455 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: you got time to learn sit hell, even Carson Palmer 456 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: got a year. It's why what happened to Patrick Mahomes. 457 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: We will not see that anymore. That just is not 458 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: happening because nobody wants to watch it. And now with 459 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: the money the owner, let's just play the kid. Though. 460 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: You get a huge project like Drake May and it's 461 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: clearly like pretty big project. Better be ready to go 462 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: here's what I say about Justin Herbert, who I liked 463 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: a lot. Now, I never thought he would be this good. 464 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: He's like a four year starter in college at Oregon 465 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: who was competing in Rose Bulls. Herbert was a starting 466 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: quarterback for a team that literally won the Rose Bull 467 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: I mean he'd been in a lot of big games 468 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 1: at a really I would say, high profile school. So 469 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: comparing him to Drake May, I just putting those guys 470 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: in the same sentence. I don't love that. Here's the 471 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: thing with JJ McCarthy and the same thing with May. 472 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: I don't love McCarthy. He's a winner, he has all 473 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: the intangibles, but I wouldn't say I like his arm 474 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: and I think the athlete is a little overrated. He 475 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: reminds me of Daniel Jones. You know what's funny is 476 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,959 Speaker 1: when I looked at the numbers for and I've been 477 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: saying this for a while now of JJ McCarthy, his 478 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: numbers kind of reminded me of Alex Smith. Now, he's 479 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 1: a little shorter. I think he's got a little bit 480 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: better armed than but I think he's in a similar mold. Well, 481 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong the Alex Smith, the chief guy. The 482 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: last year with the Niners guy and before he got 483 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: injured in Washington. Guy guy was a good player. You 484 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: could make the playoffs with that guy. But he was 485 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: the best case version of that guy. The comp for 486 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones coming out of school was Alex Smith. That 487 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: was his comp and what happened to Daniel Jones he 488 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: simply wasn't good enough. Now in defense of him, Alex 489 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: Smith finally got Jim Harbaugh and Andy Reid, which is 490 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,199 Speaker 1: clearly better than any situation he's been in, even with 491 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: Brian Abele. So to maximize a guy like Alex you 492 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: need everything great around him, especially on defense, and a 493 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: great head coach. So to me, JJ McCarthy has had 494 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: that in college. He's been the version what Alex was 495 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and with the forty nine ers they 496 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: had an elite defense, have like seventy five guys they're 497 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: gonna get drafted on the defensive side alone, and had 498 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: six offensive linemen. Go to the combine NFL running back 499 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: and just an NFL head coach. So I'm not anti 500 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. I think he's a fascinating prospect, but I 501 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: think when you compare him and you think about drafting 502 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: him really high a lot like Drake may You're just 503 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: thinking of the best case scenario. And unlike Drake, who 504 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: has more physical skills, his floor is just not as high. 505 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: And when it doesn't go well for Daniel Jones, that 506 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: type player Alex Smith earlier in his career, it doesn't 507 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: get any uglier. That's as ugly as it gets. So 508 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: I think this JJ McCarthy situation is gonna be fascinating. 509 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: Now goes to Minnesota like the situation, a lot more 510 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: offensive weapons, good head coach, Floor is a good defensive coach. 511 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: But if he goes to the Patriots, I'm out last, 512 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: but not least on Pennix. Here's an assistant coach. Pennix 513 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: is better now than may Or McCarthy for NFL football. 514 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 1: He can read defenses, throw accurately, is quick, and has 515 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: strong enough arm. He's more of a sure thing to 516 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: play in the NFL. But I'm not sure where he 517 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: goes from here because he doesn't have the same upside. 518 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: It's a great line. It's not about where you are today. 519 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: If you had to, if you were playing NFL football 520 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: next week and it was a winner get in game 521 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: for the Commanders, they would be better off with Michael 522 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: Pennix than any of the other guys. But like we 523 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: talked about, you're drafting, not even for this rookie contract. 524 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: You're drafting ultimately to try to give him two hundred 525 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: and fifty three hundred million dollars in four or five years. 526 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: And that's the thing that concerns teams with Michael Pennix. 527 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: He's older, the injury history, no one can argue. When 528 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: you watch him play beside Caleb. He throws the ball 529 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: and he's more accurate, and his deep ball is better 530 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: than everybody. I mean, it's just speaks for itself, but 531 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: there are other factors in here. And here's a scout. 532 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: I think bo Nis is much better in Pennix. I 533 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: disagree there. Pennick is serviceable and a different player when 534 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: he's playing on schedule, but he's not a good foot 535 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: at athlete. I worry about him when he gets traffick 536 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: in his face. The fascinating thing to me with Pennix 537 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: is if he goes to the right spot, good offensive line, 538 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: good coach. I think it can be good. But the 539 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: one thing that you saw in that Michigan game, which 540 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: people could go in middle coff. You once put him 541 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: number two in the draft. You've pivoted. No one's arguing 542 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: that he's not a really good player, but his speed 543 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,719 Speaker 1: at his pro day. He never really did that and 544 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: played like that right now? Can he? We saw CJ. 545 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: Stroud much better playmaker in the pros than we saw 546 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: in college. We knew he was great in the pocket. 547 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: I know Pennix is great in the pocket elite. Michael 548 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: Penis is an NFL caliber pocket passer. But you get 549 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: hit a lot in the NFL, I don't care who 550 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 1: you are. And when Michael Pennicks played NFL level teams 551 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: Oregon Michigan, both times, I thought he wasn't gonna finish 552 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: the game, and that concerns me. I like the player 553 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot, but I think it is fair to be concerned. 554 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: And it's pretty clear like he's not going ahead of 555 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: those three guys. But I think he has the chance 556 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: to have the most fascinating career. I would be stunned 557 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: if he had a long career, but I could see 558 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: if he gets in the right situation, having a fantastic 559 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: couple of years because he's kind of ready made, very 560 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: old school. It doesn't happen as much anymore. He's quarterbacks 561 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: man fascinating times, really quick. I wanted to touch on 562 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, not the quarterback, but the pass rusher, and 563 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good example of and I'm 564 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: guilty of this that it's one thing when you draft 565 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: a guy that doesn't have the traits we had mayok 566 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: on and they drafted Cleveland Ferrell, who's going to play 567 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a decade. He's a really solid 568 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: NFL defensive lineman. The Niners really missed him last year 569 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: when he got injured. That was a big blow for 570 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: their defensive line. They didn't have him down the street 571 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: because I think he hurt his knee. Really good run defender. 572 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: Same thing with Solomon Thomas. Solomon Thomas is going to have. 573 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: Both those guys are going to have long, profitable NFL careers. 574 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: They just should never have been picked high because they 575 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: didn't have the traits to justify it. Not that they 576 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been really good second or third round pick, 577 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: but you take a guy in the top ten, traits 578 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: do matter because let's face it, I'm not trying to 579 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: hit a stand up single. I'm not trying to hit 580 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: a stand up double. Those picks do not exist. You're 581 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: either trying to hit home run you're willing to strike out. 582 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: And Josh Allen is a guy who's almost six foot five, 583 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: he's got thirty three inch arms, he's really explosive, and 584 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: early on in his career it just was kind of 585 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: up and down. And I would say that before last 586 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: year it felt like he was kind of coming on. 587 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: He had seven sacks three years ago, seven sacks two 588 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: years ago, and last year he looked like an elite 589 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: player seventeen and a half sacks and is what you 590 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: wanted to look like. But it did not happen overnight. 591 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: And I think this is just good advice for most people. 592 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: Like I used to be very, very impatient when I 593 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: was younger. I mean I still I'm not a very 594 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: patient person. But my path was no one else's path 595 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: but my own. And we all know people who especially professionally, 596 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: have immediate success right that financially maybe are doing a 597 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: lot better than us at a certain point in time 598 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: in our career, and it's hard to not let that 599 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: impact you. But you gotta stay laser focused on yourself. 600 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: And I think anyone with talent, I'm a huge believer 601 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: in the cream always rises, but not all cream rises 602 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: at the same rate. And not every guy is Tiger Woods, right, 603 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: not every guy is Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes. And 604 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: it's just like, holy shit, some guys take a little. 605 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: While DeVante Adams was a laughingstock his first year and 606 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: a half in Green Bay, by the end of his 607 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: fourth year is clear like this guy's gonna be one 608 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: of the better players in the NFL. Some guys take time. 609 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: And when you invest in someone, the quarterback position is 610 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: different than all these other positions. Like as a position 611 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: player drafted high, you're gonna be on the team more 612 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: than likely for your first four years. And if you're 613 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: on a bad team, which he's been on, you're gonna 614 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: go through some coaches, You're gonna go through some defensive coordinators, 615 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: and all you can hope for one you can only 616 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: control what you can control, how hard you work. I 617 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: read some of his quotes. He's clearly seems like a 618 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: pretty high level guy. You know, just how seriously you 619 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: take everything, and then you need some things to go 620 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: well for you that are out of your control. Who 621 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: your coordinator is, where your defense is, and when you 622 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: get in the right situation, then it's on you to 623 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: take care of the opportunity. We all get different opportunities 624 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: at different point in time in our life. Sometimes we're 625 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: ready for him, sometimes we're not. And when you're not, 626 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 1: there's not much you can do right but try your best. 627 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: But when you do get posed with an opportunity, poison 628 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: with an opportunity, and you are prepared, you got you 629 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: gotta take advantage of it. And Josh Allen clearly did 630 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: after his fourth Yeary it's seventeen and a half sacks 631 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: and you just signed one hundred and fifty million dollar 632 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: contract with eighty plus million dollars guaranteed. And if he's good, 633 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: I'll see most of it. That's the thing with these 634 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: good players. When you see the quote unquote fake money, 635 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 1: guaranteed money, it gives you wiggle room if it doesn't 636 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: go well. But good players that just play well, like 637 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, he just saw all his money all the time, right, 638 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 1: Davante Adams just go around the league, like Travis Kelcey, 639 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: like whatever contract they sign guaranteed not guaranteed, the normal 640 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: number you see, they just consistently see those numbers. So 641 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: you keep balling, you keep having fourteen to fifteen to 642 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: sixteen sacks. You will see every penny of this number. 643 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 1: And I think it's cool because we get obsessed and listen, 644 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm guilty of it as much as anybody like. I 645 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: like guys that immediately come to play. It's easy to 646 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: go God, Puka Nakua shattering records. Well, my mom can 647 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: see that. Can you see? Like a guy like hey man, 648 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't give up on this player. I think there's 649 00:34:53,160 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: something there. And Josh Allen finally popped. Okay, Fugazi Friday, 650 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: let's hit on a couple. Here's the thing. Two things 651 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: before we dive into some of your dms about Fugazi Friday. 652 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: Orenthal Simpson, also known as the Juice or OJ, died 653 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: today and before we dive into the Fugazi that was 654 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: his trial in ninety five. There were things when I 655 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: was a kid and anyone older than me, and I 656 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: think this lasted probably till like ten fifteen years ago. 657 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot that we share in 658 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: as a community anymore. We're in the nineties. Like there 659 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: were moments and events that it felt like everyone shared it. 660 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: And I think a large reason was I didn't have cable. 661 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: Probably till like ninety eight ninety nine, I had three channels, 662 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: I guess four CHANNELSA NBC, Fox, and ABC, and at 663 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: night the nightly news would be on. I remember when 664 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 1: what was the uh not the Iraq War, but General 665 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Schwarzkough War. I just remember the TV being on, like 666 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 1: the whole country. We're all watching the same stuff now. 667 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: The one thing I think that kind of resonates with 668 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: most people or presidential elections still, but that's so batshit crazy. 669 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: That's it's not like it felt like it used to be. 670 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: But there used to be certain things that like everyone 671 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 1: shared it, and certain controversies as well. And I think 672 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,760 Speaker 1: OJ is just an all timer everyone was paying attention. 673 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: I just don't think that really happens anymore. I would 674 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: say the most it happens too is now the super 675 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: Bowl and a presidential election, and I don't even know 676 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: if that has lasting power once Donnie's gone, so like, 677 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: if it's just two random lifetime politicians, I don't think 678 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: it will be the same. But the OJ thing, I 679 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: remember listening to it in class, the Verdict, I was 680 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: in fifth grade. I don't think there's anything like that 681 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: that would happen now, and I would imagine I'm not alone. 682 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: Like everyone's classrooms, everyone's parents, every fucking person was paying 683 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: attention to what was going on with OJ. Now obviously 684 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: Superstar running back became famous in Hollywood, was a very 685 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: famous person, and his murder, the murder he committed, was 686 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: really famous. I do think he represents the fugazi. I've 687 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 1: never never been arrested, got a couple of tickets, probably 688 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 1: close when I was in college, you know, drunk in public. 689 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 1: Actually that was in high school. But uh, that's a 690 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,880 Speaker 1: long time ago now. But I've never spent any time 691 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: in a courtroom. But I followed enough court cases with 692 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: famous people to know one thing, and one thing only. 693 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: The biggest fugazi in the criminal justice system is like 694 00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: justice was served. The only thing that matters in the courtroom. 695 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: Do you have money or do you not have money? 696 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: Because if you have money and you have the best lawyers, 697 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,719 Speaker 1: you were going up against the district attorney, state employee. 698 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: They got no fucking chance. I don't have what the 699 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: district attorney whoever he was going up against at the time, 700 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:21,319 Speaker 1: was making, but what his crew Cochrane, Kardashian, his Crewel 701 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: lawyers was making. It ain't a fair fight. If I 702 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,400 Speaker 1: show up to your golf course and we're going to 703 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: play a two on two match, I'm like, bring the 704 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: best player at your club, and I show up with 705 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: Scotti Scheffler, I don't care how good the player you 706 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: show up with, I'm going to kick your ass. And 707 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: clearly OJ gutted those two like a fish and got 708 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: off just because. I mean, now, there were other probably variables, 709 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: but his lawyers were elite, and we see this all 710 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: the time. I'll give you one. Get Ready, SBF, I 711 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 1: think was just sentenced like twenty years in prison for 712 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: the crypto scandal. The kind of he wasn't Ponzi wrong thing. 713 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: He's like buying I don't know exactly know how you 714 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,640 Speaker 1: describe it, but he was doing a legal activity. He 715 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: was Robin Peter to pay Paul, but actually he was 716 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: having successful business. It wasn't quite Burnie made off. But 717 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: you finance people know that he cheated the system, he 718 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: broke the law. Get Ready for him to be pardon 719 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: this fall. I would expect that. Actually, if Joe Biden loses, 720 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 1: I would expect him to pardon SBF on the way out. 721 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: Why you say, because of money. He donated a shitload 722 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: of money to politicians. Like all this stuff, it's all 723 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: gets back to money. That's why I like I see 724 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: all these people getting really emotional online. Like guys it 725 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: spend the same way forever. Like if I got in 726 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 1: trouble right now for something, I probably would be up 727 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: against the wall in a courtroom. I don't have unlimited 728 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: funds to hire the best lawyer. Now, maybe I could 729 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 1: publicize it through the podcast, make it big enough, or 730 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: some guy would do it for a cheaper fee to 731 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: like hype himself up. But if you got money, you 732 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: got a chance. That's why these big corporations they think 733 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: it's a pain in the ass to go to corp. 734 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: They're not really worried about it. They got big old 735 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 1: budgets to dominate in that world. OJ killed people. He 736 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: ended up going back to jail because he was fucking 737 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:25,280 Speaker 1: off his rocker. But OJ did seventy six the Otani interpreter, 738 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: This has got to be listen. When I talked to 739 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: Colin about this a couple weeks ago, that super rich 740 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 1: people they get robbed all the time. It's been happening 741 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: since the history of time because money's all relative, right. 742 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: If you have one hundred thousand dollars in your bank 743 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: account and eight hundred dollars is missing, you might not notice. 744 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: Or there's a weird purchase for eight hundred dollars. If 745 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 1: you have one hundred million in your bank account and 746 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,760 Speaker 1: someone takes out a couple million, you might not notice. 747 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: But what Otani's interpreter was doing, he lost over one 748 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million dollars. Now he won one hundred 749 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 1: and forty million dollars, but there was a forty plus 750 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,439 Speaker 1: million dollar l he was in the red. I don't 751 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: believe for a second that Otani wasn't help funding his gambling. 752 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: Do I know if he better or not. I got 753 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: no clue. Dude doesn't even speak English, so I've never 754 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,240 Speaker 1: even heard the guy talk beside ended this interpreter and listen. 755 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 1: I don't care, Like I'm not one of those people that, 756 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: like Otani, has to pay as a consumer. I just 757 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: want to watch Atonic clea baseball. I don't give a shit. 758 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: I honestly that they're gambling in California. It drives me nuts. 759 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: I used to do a lot of business there podcast wise, 760 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 1: and we got to the point where we couldn't do 761 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: gambling stuff because the thing these gambling companies went from 762 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: the dfs to gambling stuff. We work with one now 763 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: and they just don't want to waste their time there 764 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: because there's no in insights. You got to go through 765 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: an illegal bookie, which they went through, and like, listen, 766 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: this guy is the all time fall guy. But Major 767 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 1: League Baseball and Otanic can push all they want. Knew nothing. 768 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: It's just at those numbers, even with as rich as 769 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: Otani is, bullshit, there's not a soul that believes that. 770 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: There is not a soul with the working brain. Here's 771 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,840 Speaker 1: the other thing. Back in the day, before I ever 772 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: knew this gambling was legal state by state. I guess 773 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: federally legal that states are allowed to make it legal, 774 00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: and then states like California and Texas for whatever reason 775 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: just I don't know living in the fucking stone ages, 776 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: but you had to go through a bookie. I've gone 777 00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: through some bookies a lot, like when I was a 778 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: kid meeting weed dealers in the back of Burger King 779 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: or McDonald's. Now, I didn't have nearly as much money 780 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 1: as I do now, but I had a pretty hard limit. 781 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: Once I hit four figures, I would have to pay him. 782 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: He wouldn't let me make it past one thousand dollars. 783 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: And listen, everyone's different. If you're Phil Mickelson, that number 784 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 1: is probably five hundred thousand dollars. But to get to 785 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: the point when you are forty million dollars in debt, 786 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: it would never get to that point. The biggest bookie 787 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: in the world would only do that if he had 788 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: this guy's blessing be the only way possible. And when 789 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: they first came out with the story, Otani said, I 790 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: paid back his debts, which again I have no problem 791 00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 1: with human beings help other human beings all the time, 792 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: with debts, with down payments, with business loans like Welcome 793 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: to the World. It doesn't bother me at all. Even 794 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: if it's quote unquote illegal, because it's a leegal bookie, 795 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. I could not care any less. 796 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: But if the numbers into which I saw tweeted out today, 797 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: if you don't think Otani's involved, I just think naives 798 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,720 Speaker 1: the wrong way to put it. You're just I can't 799 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 1: even We couldn't even have a conversation because this is 800 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: not possible. It really isn't and he's gonna take the 801 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: fall and his family and his family's family and their 802 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: kids will all be taken care of forever. But this 803 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: is an all time as Chris Carter said, fall guy moment. Okay, 804 00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: a couple other Fugazi Fridays here. This came up a 805 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 1: couple times some of you guys slid into my DMS 806 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: about the work life balance, and before I read this, 807 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,319 Speaker 1: I thought about this over last week. Obviously, if if 808 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: your goals and aspirations are to have a lot of money, 809 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 1: like if that's something that means a lot to you, 810 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: there are gonna be limitations on work life balance. And 811 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,640 Speaker 1: if you're a younger person trying to earn your stripes 812 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 1: at a company, working for someone wherever, you're gonna have 813 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 1: to go above and beyond. Your work life balance in 814 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: your youth will not be as much now. If you 815 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: own a company, obviously there are certain roles CEO, commissioners, 816 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 1: whatever I mean, high high level roles. Your work life 817 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,479 Speaker 1: balance is gonna be shitty at times. If you don't 818 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: desire a lot of money or are cool with the 819 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 1: job you're in, Yeah, do whatever you want. My overall 820 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: take is work life balance is such an individual thing, 821 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: like what you desire out of your life is not 822 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 1: what I desire, just like it's not what Bill desires 823 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 1: or James desires, or Kelly desires or Megan desire. We 824 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 1: all have different desires beside basic ones like want our 825 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,719 Speaker 1: kids to be healthy, want to be safe, we want 826 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,400 Speaker 1: to have food. I mean that there's some basic human 827 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: needs and necessities and things that we're all kind of 828 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 1: universally agreed upon, like want our kids to be educated, 829 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: want our kids be down the right path. But other 830 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,959 Speaker 1: than that, like what you like doing with your own time, 831 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: when you like vacationing, how much you like working, Do 832 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: you like working on the weekends? Do you like you 833 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,800 Speaker 1: mail it income Thursday. That's all on an individual basis, 834 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 1: and I have no problem. Lazy people exist, just like 835 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: crazy workers exist. If you work a nine to five 836 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,439 Speaker 1: and you're older and you don't really care, I don't 837 00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,239 Speaker 1: blame you. I don't Gary Ve, who can be a 838 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: little cheesy sometimes, has always said something that is so right. 839 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,800 Speaker 1: When you own a company, you can't expect the people 840 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: working for you to have the same skin in the game, work, 841 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 1: ethic and desire for that entity as yourself. You'd be 842 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,120 Speaker 1: a more on if you did so. I have no 843 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: problem anyone doing whatever they want to do, But there 844 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: are also repercussions, like certain jobs, if you don't work 845 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: hard enough and you're not producing. I have a lot 846 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: of friends in sales. There's a lot of pressure. It 847 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they don't get to scool around. Part of 848 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: their job is entertaining and playing golf and taking people 849 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: to events and games and concerts. You better close deals 850 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 1: because if you don't, they will get rid of you. 851 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: It's and many people listening to this. No, and it's 852 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,960 Speaker 1: not about like FaceTime or how many hours, like just 853 00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: close the deals. And I've always been a big believer 854 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,880 Speaker 1: in that either get it done or you don't. I 855 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 1: it's just and that's maybe how I was raised pretty 856 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,960 Speaker 1: old school dad, like just produce. I don't really care 857 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,959 Speaker 1: about all your bullshit. So this is a rebuttal wife. 858 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: And I work in local government with nine to eighty schedules. 859 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: Not quite sure what that means. Maybe nine months, I 860 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: don't know. We have every Friday off, we have every 861 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: other Friday off and do nine hour days Monday through Thursday. 862 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 1: We work fifties six percent of the year. When you 863 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: factor in vacations and holidays, it'd be I have no 864 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: clue what any of it. It's crazy. You've already broken 865 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 1: that down. I guess you get it from the government. 866 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: We also own a one point five million dollar house 867 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 1: and slow have two kids, pensions, so work life balance 868 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: can't succeed. Again, that succeeds for you might not succeed 869 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,239 Speaker 1: for me or the person listening. It might succeed for them. 870 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: They might want that and they don't have that. So 871 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: I think we're all different. But I do think the 872 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: one consistent and I think high achievers, and I equate 873 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 1: that I think with money, which fair not. I mean, 874 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 1: it's just kind of the way we do it in society. 875 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: There's not many guys not working that much. Now, maybe 876 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: you get to a certain point where the business runs itself, 877 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 1: but it's usually a lot of time revolving around whatever 878 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: you're doing. I heard you previously talking about having a 879 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: serious XM for your vehicle. I used to have it 880 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,440 Speaker 1: as well for a free trial run, and after that 881 00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: they wanted twenty for dollar dollars a month. Serious XM 882 00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 1: has been on such a decline with the use of 883 00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: smartphones in cars and availability of auditory media. If you 884 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: want to save money, tell them you want to cancel, 885 00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: and they will lower your bill all the way down 886 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: to eight dollars a month. Not to mention Serious has 887 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: laid off almost five percent of their workforce two months ago. 888 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: They're hurting big time. Part of the reason. I actually 889 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: think mine's like twenty nine to ninety nine, which is absurd. 890 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I have a twenty twelve Tahoe. I 891 00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,879 Speaker 1: want to get a new car, but what I want 892 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,520 Speaker 1: is like two hundred grand. Maybe not that much, but 893 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean a new Tahoe now is like one hundred grand. 894 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 1: And it's like, do I want a car payment right now? 895 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,880 Speaker 1: My cars? I don't have a penny for my car 896 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: and it runs fine. And the other thing is I 897 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: would if my job revolved around getting a new car. 898 00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 1: I drive like two places to the gym and of 899 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: the golf course podcast or my desk is at my house. 900 00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: I actually don't drive very much. But my point is 901 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: Jaho doesn't connect to the Internet or Bluetooth, so I 902 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: can't connect my phone, which my girlfriend thinks I'm fucking nuts. 903 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: She she hates it. Right because most people, many people 904 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 1: listening to this probably are Bluetooth with their phone. I 905 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: feel like I'm living in the Stone Age. But I don't, 906 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: so I need something besides just like listening to my 907 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 1: phone on the center console. So I just have DXM. 908 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: Maybe I just need to get a new car. But 909 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,200 Speaker 1: cars I want are just I don't know. I guess 910 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: that's just the price of life. Now you want this car, 911 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,680 Speaker 1: it's ninety seven thousand dollars. I remember when like a 912 00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,880 Speaker 1: suburban was like fifty. But again, I'm not acting like 913 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 1: that's the price. That's just it is what it is. 914 00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,399 Speaker 1: Maybe she's just get a Tesla. Born and raised in Texas, 915 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: been a fan for all the DFW teams for twenty 916 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 1: plus years. That being said, when I was a kid, 917 00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: you flipped on Fox Sports Southwest and got all the 918 00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: local sports games. I love streaming and I'm glad we 919 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,120 Speaker 1: are here but going. But Bally has bought the rights 920 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,479 Speaker 1: to all the Rangers, Stars and Mavericks. Now in order 921 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 1: to watch them, you have to have either Ferbo or 922 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,760 Speaker 1: Direct TV. Why can't I just pay to add teams 923 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 1: I want to watch on YouTube TV. I feel like 924 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 1: this is a huge fugazi and fucking me over again. 925 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,480 Speaker 1: I like streaming and will gladly pay monthly to be 926 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: able to pick and choose whenever I get to watch. Also, 927 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 1: Bochie's the Man agreed, Go Rangers. Yeah, man, we are 928 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:37,160 Speaker 1: in a transitional time as someone that defends streaming. Someone 929 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 1: tweeted at me this morning like it's bs. The Masters 930 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,320 Speaker 1: is not on TV till three o'clock Eastern. Like, guys, 931 00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: this is never changing. Augusta doesn't need any money and 932 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: they don't. They will not put it on broadcast TV 933 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: until like they want to do it. But there is 934 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 1: the Masters app and ESPN Plus. Is it perfect? No, 935 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:03,400 Speaker 1: but it exist. I do think and listen. I don't 936 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,279 Speaker 1: living in Arizona. Like when I lived in the Bay Area, 937 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 1: I watched all the teams I want to watch. The 938 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: Giants games are on, the Warriors games are on, and 939 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: I could also watch the Kings games here. I haven't 940 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,960 Speaker 1: watched one Diamondback game, and I wouldn't watch Kevin Durant 941 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: and the Sons if you paid me. But I understand 942 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,719 Speaker 1: if you live in your home market and want to 943 00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:26,839 Speaker 1: watch those teams. And because of the changing media landscape, 944 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,759 Speaker 1: everything that happened with Bali's and these local networks it's 945 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: a disaster that sucks. That would piss me off too. 946 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: I think times are better now in terms of our options, 947 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,439 Speaker 1: but I don't disagree. Ten years ago, if you lived 948 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,640 Speaker 1: in Philly, if you lived in Texas, if you lived 949 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,800 Speaker 1: in northern California, if you lived in la if you 950 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,520 Speaker 1: lived in wherever, Georgia, if you want to watch your 951 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: baseball team, your basketball team, your hockey team, you knew 952 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: exactly where to find it every game was on. That's 953 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 1: not the case anymore, And I do feel for you. 954 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's like any some one necessarily trying 955 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: to screw you, though. I do think it's just this 956 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: transitional period of time that it's gonna have to work 957 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:16,359 Speaker 1: itself out.
