36
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: a five dollars delivery fee or something like that. It's

37
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: really not bad. I feel like all these deliveries and

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: there's like car services. They are creating a lot of jobs, absolutely,

39
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of like like secondary jobs for people. Yeah,

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: a lot of Like if I was in college right now,

41
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: I'd totally be driving Uber absolutely, like I was a

42
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: king of I mean, you played football in college, and

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I go to a small school, so I had part

44
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: of my school paid for it. So I had to

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: pay for a lot of my school and we didn't

46
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: have like month they don't give you monthly allowances in

47
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: Canadian college. Yeah you know, I mean like the scholarships here. Yeah.

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: So I was like constantly trying to find odd jobs

49
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: because I mean you also couldn't have a normal job

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: where you worked every night. You're at practice every night. Yeah,

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: so I was constantly looking for it. I would have

52
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: totally been an uber driver. No, it's a huge thing,

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: but i'd like terrible too. I've been a really bad

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: I think the thing it's hard. Well, I mean it's

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: a secondary job, true, but it's like is the it's

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: hard too because like secondary job, absolutely no benefits to

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: it at all besides money. But the greatest benefit is

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: that you get to work whenever you want. That's true,

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: like literally any second that you want. So I thought

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: it would be I think it'd be fun to do,

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: especially like in that time, Like it would have been

62
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: a fun job. But like I've done the Super Drivers

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: before too, Like if you like when you just pick

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: them up and like, then then someone wants to go

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: somewhere ridiculously far away and you're like, oh god, dang it,

66
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: Like can't they hear that? Well? Now, when Uber started,

67
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: they didn't even tell you where where you got in

68
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: and told me where to go and then but I

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: think even still like, well, yeah, I think they tell

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: them where you're gonna go. But if they decline too

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: many trips, then like they drop down in ranking. Oh,

72
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Like I want them to be able to see where

73
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm going because I think that's only fair because right now,

74
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: if I'm like going to Dinos it's a mile away,

75
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I want them to be like, Okay, I'm picking them

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: up and I know I'm only going two minutes. Yeah.

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Or if I'm like in La sometimes where the ball

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: game in Anaheim and we're gonna go forty five miles home,

79
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: I want that guy to know what are you getting into? Yeah? Also,

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: do you know that unit can see like your your

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: your Uber rating? Yeah, what's yours? It's a little bit

82
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: higher than years I think I don't know. Let's let

83
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: me take a look of mine. I'm opening mind right,

84
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: hold on, let's I takes I take about two to

85
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: three hundred ubers a year. All right, what's your Uber rating?

86
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: And so it takes a long time to go back up?

87
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: What is it? Four point Okay? What's your next number?

88
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: Eight hundred seven? Yeah, you take five ubers a year?

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: I'd take Uber quite a bit four point seven six,

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: four point eight two. Wow, Maybe you shouldn't. I don't

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: know what to do wrong. I think some of them

92
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: don't like it when I drink in their cars. Maybe

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be such a thing. There was even lower

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: and we're like, well, we're like the we get in,

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: we don't talk. We don't even talk to each other.

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why. It's because you're just too quiet, and like,

97
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: who's this awkward guy in the backseat? Like we literally

98
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: never do anything. Well, we take hundreds of ubers, we

99
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: just sit down and then we go there and then like,

100
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: how do you not give me a five? I don't know? Yeah,

101
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: well do you ever do you give Uber drivers five?

102
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Even when they don't deserve it. I've only ever given

103
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: two Uber drivers, not five. One guy I thought was

104
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: gonna kill us. All same here I've done. We were

105
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: we had to take like a five thirty flight out

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: of like Toledo or somewhere Service on the road, somewhere

107
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: performing and we had to take an early early flight,

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: like we had to get the airport like three thirty

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: or four. And this guy picked us up and I

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: looked in the river mirror and he was falling asleep. Oh.

111
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: So I was trying to talk to him. He was

112
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: in the middle lane of a three way freeway and

113
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: he was just swerving back and forth. Nope, No, we

114
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: were like trying to talk to him. Keim awake. I'm like,

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: that's like we had we contacted Uber because we're like,

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: that's like we feared. It was like it was like

117
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: twenty miles too, oh man. And he was just like,

118
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, doing the head nod, like you can tell

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: he just worked all night. Like, dude, you can't. I

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: had one. The one time I gave someone a negative

121
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: was I had taken an Uber to Seattle, went out

122
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: friends drink, and then was coming home and eggs went

123
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: to the same place, came back. This guy drove around

124
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: Seattle like I didn't know where Seattle was. So my

125
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: my Uber ride there costs like thirty eight dollars. My

126
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Uber ride home cost seventy four. So now in the

127
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: new ones they tell you right away, like one you

128
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: put in the location, they'll tell you what the cost

129
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: is going to be. Yeah. So this was before before,

130
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: and so I wrote to Uber and I was like, hey,

131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: don't you see a problem here? They're the exact same

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: pickup and destination. There wasn't a surge price. This guy

133
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: drove around in circles and I was like, I was like,

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: just because I was out partying, I mean like I yeah,

135
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: I was like, that was not cool. And did what

136
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: do they do? They were funded the whole try. Yeah,

137
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: they I've contacted a few times and they've been good.

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: They are smart though that they do not have a

139
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: telephone line. Oh they yeah, there is no way. Could

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: you imagine how many tumb phone calls they'd have to

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: deal with. The Only way you can do it is

142
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: if you take the time to write them an email,

143
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: and they were they responded pretty quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

144
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: do you have to take a lift? No? I used

145
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: to for a while. I only took lift because you

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: could tip on the app. Yeah, and also some like

147
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: political things that they were doing that was different than

148
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: the political things that Uber was doing. Yeah, anyway, don't

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: get into that, but that's why I started taking them,

150
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: and then Uber started making it they can tip on

151
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: their app too, yeah, because I feel bad, like sometimes

152
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't know cash, but I liked the tip. I

153
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: always we're purposefully like just having a bunch of like

154
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: five dollars bills around just we tip on our ubers

155
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: because we felt Yeah, I mean like we go uber x.

156
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: I think when you go Uber black car, like we'll

157
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: go for dinner something thing the Uber black Yeah, and

158
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: you know it's at least twice as extensive, but I

159
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: feel like you probably don't need to tip as much

160
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: with those people, yeah, because they're making it. Yeah, but

161
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: you know that's like they're like limo drivers and then

162
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: they're making like something like eighty percent or seventy five percent.

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: What what their favorite is pretty good. But the uber

164
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: x sometimes you get in you're like, this doesn't even

165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: seem right. Twenty two dollars to go from from here

166
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: to downtown YEA a long wage and it's like twelve dollars. Yeah,

167
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel right. Yeah, I like if they put

168
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: the tips in there, well, what do you think like

169
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: like cab drivers hate Uber drivers hate it. It's kind

170
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: to be the worst. It's just I mean, here's the

171
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: one thing I don't understand though. Now Uber and lived

172
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: have ben around for a long time, I still haven't

173
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: heard of yellow cab developing an app that you could

174
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: get picked up. You have to keep up at the time,

175
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: Like at this point you'd be like, Okay, well maybe

176
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: we just need to develop an air I'm gonna kill

177
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: for sands. But there's not a guy on a horse

178
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: and buggy on the corner and being like cab drivers,

179
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: dang you cab. I'm trying to make this horse and

180
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: buggy work, and you guys are screwing it like you

181
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: have to, you know, like yellow cabs or whatever. They

182
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: have to come up with something. Now, it's like that's

183
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: just how it works, you know. They came up with

184
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: something better. And I feel like every time I get

185
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: in the cab it smells like puke. Are you in? Yeah?

186
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: Cabs are gross man, And so I think this also

187
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: makes them be like, oh, we have to be clean

188
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: to compete. We have to like when was the last

189
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: time you took a cab in LA I always do

190
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: like when you get to the airport, right, you walk off.

191
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: Same here, walk off walking to a cab. And we

192
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: did it in Vegas. We took cabs everywhere. It's easy. Yeah,

193
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: it's because New York City they have ubers, but they're

194
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: like there's a separate air Yeah, you have to like

195
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: go to because the cabs they have, like I mean

196
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: they've been running things there for a long time. Yeah.

197
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: I mean New York City though too. It's like there's

198
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: cabs everywhere. Yeah. Yeah, you feel like when you're in Manhattan,

199
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: you never go that far anywaysues just sit there, so

200
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: do have a walk. Yeah, exactly. That was a long

201
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: talk about uber. Um Yeah you know I like Uber. Yeah. Well,

202
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: uh we had a game. Yeah, we did game on Sunday. Yep.

203
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: Big win, one in one, one in one. Yeah. I

204
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are are are are worried.

205
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: I feel yeah, I feel real sensible worried. Yeah, among

206
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: this community right now. It it is man. People are

207
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: just everyone is a Monday Sunday night, Monday morning quarterback,

208
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: and they know what to do. Climb back from the ledge.

209
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: People don't jump. Don't jump. It's a little early. I

210
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: think it's here's a two part thing for me. One,

211
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: it's freaking hard to win in the NFL. Yeah, it's

212
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: freaking hard, you know what I mean, Like when you

213
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: look at the best thing I can compare it to

214
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: is look at say you go to Washington right now,

215
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: University of Washington. Well, they're gonna play five or six

216
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: games a year where they're just gonna win because they

217
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: play a team that's not even drawing from the same

218
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: pool of players as Ye. You know what I mean.

219
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: When you play UM Northeast Arkansas School for Engineering, you're

220
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: tech vocational school, I mean, you're gonna win by a

221
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: hundred And that's just the way it is that you

222
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: don't have that in the NFL. You know, we played

223
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: against a team on Sunday and they make their salary

224
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: cap is one hundred and whatever savings ours one hundred

225
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: and fifty million. Yeah, they all worked fifty sixty hours

226
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: last week. They all started playing football at seven, and

227
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: they've got fifty three guys who wanted to win just

228
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: as much. Yes, and and and are just and are

229
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: talented as well. So I think the one part, it's like,

230
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's just hard to win in the NFL

231
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: because every single week you're playing a good team, even

232
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: if if the fans don't see them as a good team,

233
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: they're good team. Yeah. The second part of that is

234
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a positive thing in a way

235
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: to say, like, we hold ourselves with such high standards,

236
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: fans hold us with such high standards that sometimes even

237
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: a win, you know, you can feel bad about a

238
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: game and you know, look back, like, wait, we won.

239
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's kind of like a like you know

240
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: where you know, seven and eight years ago, nine, ten

241
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: years ago, we just we lose that game. And yeah,

242
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: I think I think it was one of the first

243
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: things we talked about on the podcast when we kind

244
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: of first started of the change of the team and

245
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: the team before we started winning as much as those

246
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: close games, we lost almost all of them. And the

247
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: switch was and when the team got better is those

248
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: close games is when we started winning them. It wasn't

249
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: that we were blowing everyone out by thirty points. It

250
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: was that we didn't lose those close games that we

251
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: did in the past, and those wins added up. And

252
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: that's that's why I remember that switch happening five six

253
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: years ago where it was like those games we we

254
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: won them. We didn't lose them, Oh for sure. Yeah,

255
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: you know you would know. We're we're a deep team.

256
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: We play sixteen minutes. You know, you go right to

257
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: the end. You know, you keep it close and then

258
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, more often than not we pull away. Yeah, yeah,

259
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean a lot of it. It's just

260
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: gonna take time. I mean, don't people are losing it,

261
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: but don't don't worry. Well, was it any any difference

262
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: for you first time you played it in rain in

263
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: a while? No? No, I mean it's sometimes like it sucks.

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: That's about one game of year where it's like seventy

265
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: and sunny and Seattle. Yeah, you know, we get so

266
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: it just sucks to start off the first game like

267
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: fifty five when when when was blown on the field.

268
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes that over twenty miles an hour. People probably didn't

269
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: realize in the crowd. Yeah, it was the second quarter

270
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: of There was a while where it was like it

271
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: was raining, but it wasn't a Seattle miss. It was rain. Yeah, yeah,

272
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: it was raining, were like November type weather. But yeah,

273
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: we've had like an unbelievable summer here, Like that was

274
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: the first rain in real league crappy day in a while,

275
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: and it was just gross. Well Sunday in Nashville's eighty

276
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: nine and Sonny this Sunday nice, it's gonna be warm.

277
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: I love it. So do you? For for games? You know,

278
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: you always kind of see I don't know whatever, like

279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: locker room where guys are listening to head everyone kind

280
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: of does their thing to get in his zone. Do

281
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you do anything in particular like a game day listen

282
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: to music like I know you're always out there early, um,

283
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: but anything else that you do kind of game day

284
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: from leaving to yeah, I do. I do a lot

285
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: of things, a lot of like really little things. I

286
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of like people mistake that for like superstition,

287
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: so they're not super the absolute farthest thing from superstition.

288
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: I think football is the least superstitious sport compared to

289
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: like hockey or baseball. Hockey and baseball baseball players are

290
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: like ridiculously superstitious. Football you don't don't really see any

291
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: of that, did you? What about so? Okay, so is

292
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: it maybe not superstitious, but it is it routine. It's

293
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot of routine. So for for me, a lot

294
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: of teams because that's my comfort zone, was doing like

295
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: the same thing. And I know how to get right

296
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: for a game, and I just don't. I don't have

297
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: to guess. I know for three hours before game exactly

298
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: what I'll be doing. Yeah, And that's just one one.

299
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: When I was younger and now too. You get you

300
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: get nervous for game you're playing the NFL, it's nerve racking. Yeah,

301
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: And once you kind of get into that routine, you

302
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: kind of stopped thinking about anything. You're you're in your

303
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: routine and that that really helped guys with nerves. That's

304
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: what always helped me with nerves and at the same

305
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: time just helps you get ready for the game. Yeah,

306
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense, is it? What? What is

307
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: the locker room like after you kind of I don't know.

308
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: Is it quiet? Is it? Is it? It goes in phases?

309
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Does okay? Yeah? Kind of like as it gets close

310
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: to the game, you know, we started playing like the

311
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: certain music and like I list to my own music,

312
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: but the guys have like a certain playlist almost name

313
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: is it the same songs every week? They kind of

314
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: lead right up, bring up like before before the team prayer,

315
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: and then they have a song right after the team prayer,

316
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: and then we have music right when we come in

317
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: after a win. We have music at halftime, and they

318
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: just keep it consistent and it's it's all. It's usually fun.

319
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: Do you do you notice? I think I can't remember.

320
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: We talked about this weird We talked these episodes is

321
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: starting to play, talked about it run, but I am

322
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: not a big fan of bittersweet Symphony being the intro. Yeah,

323
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: that's that's I guess that's Paul Allen's pick. And they

324
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: only play it for about thirty seconds, don't they And

325
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: it goes on, but it's still that so I don't know,

326
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Like to me, yeah, we did. Now, I remember we

327
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: have talked about this, but I just like, I feel

328
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: like it needs to be more where they play it

329
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: right before we come out. Yeah, it's going to like

330
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: another video intro. Yeah, and they go here's when I

331
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: really I swear I didn't notice. I'm so like in

332
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: the zone at that point and I'm right on the

333
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: field kicking when they do it like introductions. I didn't

334
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: even notice we played it until someone pointed out to

335
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: me like two or three years ago. Yeah, I was like,

336
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, we do play that. I mean, it

337
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: seems like a weird choice, and I don't think about

338
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: it until every Like so I was at the game too,

339
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: so I don't think about it until every time it

340
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: comes on. I'm like, ah, why is it that song?

341
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Here's what I heard was so cool because we play

342
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: it so consistently at the same time, right before they

343
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: walk on the field, and I think it's Paul Allen's choice.

344
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: But I was talking to a player and I won't

345
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: say who it was. I was playing talking to a

346
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: player on the team, and I was like, man, that

347
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: freaking song. He's like, are you kidding me? He's like,

348
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: we were walking on the tunnel and the second we

349
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: heard that damn song, we're like, the game's over. Really yeah,

350
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: He's like, we just It's like it's like one of

351
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: those things I'd repent. It like takes you back to

352
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: that place getting he kicked by the Seahawks again, you

353
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Walking. He's we were walking on

354
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: the tunnel and we just heard that song again and

355
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: it was kind of like we're gonna lose. Wow. I

356
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: was like, well, that's really cool. Yeah, I guess now

357
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: that's when I started to really like it. I never

358
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: never thought of it that way, and now, it's been

359
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: going on for so long that if you change it

360
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: would be a big deal. But I just in my mind,

361
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: I just want something just more. Ah get you amped

362
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: up at that point. The crowd's going so crazy though.

363
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: That's true. So I've grown to like it, but I

364
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: did think it was a unique choice. The person I

365
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: saw a stat the other day. The last time we

366
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: lost the home opener was my very first game with

367
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Was it really two thousand and nine? Was

368
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: that my first year? Two doesn't eight? We lost home

Speaker 1: opener again? Him down frown in overtime. All right, wow,

370
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,360

00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: that the Tacoma Comedy Club posted an ad and it

422
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: was a picture of you in your unif form ye,

423
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: and then it said underneath and said come see John

424
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: Ryan do his podcast at the Tacoma Comedy Club. Andrew

425
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: Rivers will also be performing. And I was like, oh,

426
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: that's real cool. The name Greg didn't even make it

427
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: into the description once. Maybe next time, buddy. Apparently I

428
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: know where I rank. The funny thing is I texted

429
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Andrew and I was like, oh well, I was like, real,

430
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: get a whole lot of respect over here. Didn't even

431
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: get my name in it. So he told he told

432
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: the guy, and so I don't know if you saw it,

433
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: but two days later he posted one. It was a

434
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: picture of me, said real estate King Greg, and I

435
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: was like, oh, dude, that is not what I wanted
