1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan in

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: here with Garrett Downing, and we are fresh coming off

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the buye. We're going to talk about the last rejuvenated

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Oh of course, of course going to talk about what

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: transpired this weekend and the biggest kind of news entering

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: this week as the Ravens prepared to take on the

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: New York Giants in a critical Week fourteen game here

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: that they need to win get back on the winning streak.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: So Garrett, you know, obviously, well how much football did

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: you watch this weekend?

11
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: I did watch some football Sunday. I didn't settle in

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: all day and watch it, but I did watch some.

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: And it's nice, you know, to be able to watch

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: it a little bit. But Ravens didn't get a ton

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: of help that you would have loved. Got a little bit,

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: but not a ton. And when you're talking about the

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: playoff picture, and I do think just at a very

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: high level for the team, I think, and the Ravens

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: talked about it this week. The old adage like the

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: buy comes at the perfect time and you need this

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: bi all stuff. I think, I honestly feel like for

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 2: this team it was critically important.

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: Because they played a lot of tough games.

24
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: They played for a long time without a break, and

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: this team needed a break.

26
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: I just think they needed a break. I think physically

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: mentally it's good. And now on the back end of it,

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: you're going into the stretch. We're gonna have three games

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: over the course of eleven days in a four game

30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: stretch to close out the regular season before going into

31
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So you go into this playoff push, you're

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: playing a ton of games in a short amount of time.

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: You were already at a point where you needed the break.

34
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: I just felt like it was a good reset for

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: this team, and I felt that way when the team

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: came back out here on the practice field today that

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: they just felt like it was it was a good

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: kind of opportunity to get rejuvenated. So yep, I thought

39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: that was good. Now in terms of the playoff picture,

40
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: which were going to talk about, they didn't get too

41
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: much help this weekend. Browns played the Steelers. Steelers took

42
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: care of business against them. So the Steelers are still

43
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: leading the wayst them. You already gote he needed the

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: snow game, needed the snow game. But the Steelers are

45
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: still leading the way in the divisi right now, and

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: they've got a two game advantage over the Ravens.

47
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, game two games with four left, and so you know,

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of models out there that predict teams

49
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: playoff chances, chance of winning the Vision, all those things,

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: and basically the Ravens are kind of projected to have

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: a twenty five percent chance of winning the Vision. That

52
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: seems that feels a little bit low to me. And

53
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: certainly the Ravens of Steelers face off here at M

54
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: ANDT Banks Stadium next week.

55
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: That will be a.

56
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: Huge game that will massively change that percentage depending on

57
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: the winder there. So you know, you look ahead and

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, it's obviously the Giants, who you know,

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: are a team that has been struggling. Then you have

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers, then the Texans, who are another team that

61
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: are kind of there right now, the leaders in the

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: AFC South, but it has not been smooth sailing for

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: them by any means. And then you close the season

64
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: out against the Browns, Like right now, the Ravens have

65
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: played the tough toughest strength to strength the schedule in

66
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: the conference and it's not particularly close. They have played

67
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: a really tough schedule. They've beaten a lot of those

68
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: tough teams. They haven't won them all, but you know

69
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: they're they are battle tested for sure. Coming out of it.

70
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: It evens out a little bit more in this final

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: four game stretch. Conversely, the Steelers, of any team in

72
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: the playoff hunt, even at this point, have played by

73
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: far the lightest strength of schedule. This is when the

74
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: going gets tough for the Steelers down the stretch. They

75
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: start off against the Pittsburgh or I'm sorry, the Philadelphia

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: Eagles this week, then the Ravens obviously, and then the

77
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs close out against the Bengals. So, yeah,

78
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers have a two game lead, But like, is

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: it impossible to think that the Steelers could lose the

80
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: next three?

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 3: I don't think it's impossible.

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: The Eagles run that have the are the hottest team

83
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: in football and one of the best, then the Ravens

84
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: at our place, and then the Chiefs.

85
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: You have the best record in the in the league.

86
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so certainly not like the Steelers are a good team.

87
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: Is it likely they're going to lose all three?

88
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: No?

89
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: Is it possible? Absolutely as possible.

90
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: So if the Steelers were to drop the next three,

91
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens win the next three, the Ravens are in

92
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: first place.

93
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: It's as simple as that.

94
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that it's not inconceivable for them to

95
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: drop the next three. I would say it's unlikely just

96
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: given the fact that they they're ten and three right

97
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: now and they're a really good team. Now it ramps up,

98
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: and obviously the Ravens aren't going to win the division

99
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: unless they beat the Steelers at home. That's that's not

100
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: like that that has to happen in order for the

101
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: Ravens to win.

102
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: It goes beyond that, when you go down the tiebreakers

103
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: and all those things, the Ravens and the Steelers are

104
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: going to end up. If the Ravens beat the Steelers,

105
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: they both take care of business against the Browns and

106
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals respectively. They have the Saints vision record, conference

107
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: record I think will be the same they go down

108
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: to common opponents.

109
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: The Steelers would have beaten the Chiefs.

110
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: In this scenario, potentially Ravens lost the Chiefs and there's

111
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: other ones in there. But I think the Ravens have

112
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: to get ahead of them because they're not They're not

113
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: in great position with the Steelers on tiebreakers.

114
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Basically, the scenario that you're describing is the Ravens win

115
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: out and they win their final four games of the

116
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 2: regular season and then which obviously includes beating the Steelers.

117
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: The Steelers then lose two games in this scenario, so

118
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: they know. But I'm saying if they finished tied, then

119
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers would go two and two over the course

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: of these next four games, right right, right right, and

121
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: then the two teams are tied, then you're going down

122
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker route. And it depends who those losses come to.

123
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: Do they lose to the Eagles, do they lose to

124
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. There's like a variety of ways you can

125
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: look at these scenarios, but I think that it's it's

126
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: gonna be if the Ravens are gonna win the division.

127
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fun interesting because Ravens on Christmas Day

128
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: are gonna be sitting there putting on their Kansas City

129
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs gear, getting rid for the route for the Chiefs

130
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: to beat the Steelers before the Ravens end up playing

131
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: the Texans.

132
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: But it could be a great Christmas.

133
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that this would drop the next two

134
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: including to us yeah, and then we go on the

135
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: Christmas Day they're playing the Chiefs. Before we play, they

136
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: lose to the Chiefs, we beat the Texans.

137
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: Magical Christmas.

138
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: If it snows that they Baltimore, it'll be the greatest

139
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Christmas of all toss.

140
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: Santa would come down the chimney with a very nice gift.

141
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that'd be amazing.

142
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Right now, the Ravens, according to ESPN's projections, the most

143
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: likely when we're talking just seeds, right, So Ravens still

144
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: have like a ninety eight percent chance of making the playoffs.

145
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: They're in a really good position.

146
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: The Colts and the Dolphins are still kind of knocking

147
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: on the door.

148
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: They are two games back. Ravens are in.

149
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: Good position to make the playoffs. I feel pretty strong

150
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: about their chances there there. It's kind of more about

151
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: seeding this weekend. So the Chargers loss to the Chiefs

152
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: meant that the Ravens leapt ahead of them in the

153
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: in the seedings. As if this if the season were

154
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: to end today, right then the Ravens would be the

155
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: number five seed, which would mean starting playoffs on the

156
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: road against the Houston Texans, who I mentioned, you know,

157
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: they it's been a little bit.

158
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: Of a tougher stretch for them.

159
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: So that's the most likely scenario for the Ravens at

160
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: this point, according to ESPN's projection, a forty one point

161
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: five percent chance of being the five seed.

162
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: And I think, look, ideally, you win the division, you

163
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: get a home game, that's like where it starts. You

164
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: want to get there. And this sounds like a coach

165
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: speak talking here, but I just think rather than all

166
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: these things are fun to talk about the scenarios, I

167
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: think for the Ravens, they just need to this is

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: a stretch here where they may be favored in all

169
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: four of these games potentially, and like so they have

170
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: a chance here to right the ship and just get

171
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: hot going into the playoffs.

172
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: But even if you end up, if you end.

173
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: Up as the five seed and you have to go

174
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: on the road for the entire way, okay, so be it.

175
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: But you win four straight games and you ride high,

176
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: like that's what this stretches you feel exactly like do

177
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: you want to win the division? Of course, but if

178
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: you don't, you just want to be headed in the

179
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: right direction going into the postseason. And the Ravens have

180
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 2: a chance to do that. Regardless of where they ultimately

181
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: end up in the standings. They could end up, like

182
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: I said, they might end up as a five seed

183
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: and they drop some games, and they drop the game

184
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: to the Raiders that of course they're kicking themselves over.

185
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: You want to win that game. So maybe they don't

186
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: win the division, but you can still get hot and then,

187
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: as you always say, getting the dance, anything can happen.

188
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I think that's how John Harball is talking

189
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: to this team about this coming out of the by

190
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of a reframe. Season starts now, right this

191
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: is when we need to play our best football. It

192
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: really does feel like a reset around here, and it's like,

193
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what we're made of. Like we've

194
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: thought this whole time. You can throw out the record.

195
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: We thought we're one of the best teams in the league.

196
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: We've went into the season with Super Bowl aspirations, like

197
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: we think.

198
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: We're good enough to get there.

199
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Let's find out, like we're about to find out, and

200
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: we need to find play our best football right now.

201
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is this is a

202
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: really good team that can play really good football when

203
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: this offense is clicking. As we said, many times.

204
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: Really hard to stop.

205
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: This defense is getting better, Like, I think that there's

206
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: certainly good reason to believe that this team can get hot.

207
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think that in

208
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: some ways it feels like just going to the playoff

209
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: mentality right now. That's one of the benefits potentially of

210
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: having this late by exactly. And I felt that way

211
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: really based on two things. One was John Harball made

212
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: that quote, had that quote in his last press conference

213
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: going into the buy where he talked about the Bill

214
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: Parcells quote of the season starts after Thanksgiving, and that's

215
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: the free frame that you're talking about. And I go

216
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: back to Lamar Jackson's presser after the game against the

217
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: Eagles where he was hot and he was fired up,

218
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: and he's like, I just want to get back on

219
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: the field, like now I want to get we just

220
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: need to get this buy over with. And I think

221
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: that there is a real sense of urgency with this team.

222
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: And I also think a good part of it is

223
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: the Ravens are getting healthy too. The buye physically is

224
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: good for this team, and it seems like they're going

225
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: to get some pieces back potentially this week.

226
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, So Kyle van Noy. Kyle Annoy's back on

227
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: the field. That's big news. He missed the last game

228
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, and then Rashad Bateman left that Eagles game.

229
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: With a knee injury.

230
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: John Harball described it as knee swordis and he's on

231
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: the practice field here on Monday, So really good news

232
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: on both those that there's nothing major.

233
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: Looks like Vanoy's going to be back.

234
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: And then John Harball also said Michael Pierce was a

235
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: full practice participant as well as Travis Jones, so could

236
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: looks like they will likely get stronger in the trenches

237
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: on the defensive line. They have open roster spots, so

238
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: it's no trouble to bring Michael Pierce back off IR

239
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: onto the fifty three.

240
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: Pierce is currently on IR.

241
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Designated for a return, so he's in his practice window.

242
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: He's twenty one day practicinger right now.

243
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: But judging by the fact that he's a full participant

244
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: on Monday, that's a really good sign that he could

245
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: be ready to play this weekend against the Giants, which

246
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: will be nice to get him, you know, maybe he

247
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't play his usual snapshare, but get him kind of

248
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: ramped up a little bit. Before you go against the Steelers,

249
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: a run heavy team. You'd like to have Michael Pierce

250
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: up there and Travis Jones being a full participant.

251
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: He's been dealing with that angle injury for a while now.

252
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: And even Zach Orr said, you know, I think the

253
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: buye is going to be best for Travis Jones and

254
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: said that he could be a dominant player for the

255
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Ravens down the stretch with a fully healed ankle on.

256
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: The defensive line.

257
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: As I've said many times that this D line can

258
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: be really, really destructive, and getting those guys healthy is

259
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: a big part of that.

260
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: If you have your two to work, two workhorses in

261
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: the middle of the defensive line to eat up blockers

262
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: and recavoc in the backfield, that's what you want.

263
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: And so with the Eagles, the Eagles Z line, the

264
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: effect that that can have, the impact that they can make,

265
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens can be just as impactful with

266
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: their guys.

267
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it would be big to have Mike Pierce

268
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: back in the lineup. Another big storyline going into the

269
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: buy was justin Tucker obviously did not have a good

270
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: game against the Eagles and has been struggling this year.

271
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh did talk about him briefly during his press

272
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: conference on Monday and said, you know, I did talk

273
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: to him this week, and it feels like he's in

274
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: a good place.

275
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

276
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: So that's good. I think that everyone's with it. Whenever

277
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: a kicker struggles, you kind of go to the mental

278
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: side of things, especially a kicker who's been as successful

279
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: as Tucker throughout his career. But so Harbball saying he

280
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: feels like he's in a good place, I think speaks

281
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: to the mindset and the confidence that the Ravens still have.

282
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: And Justin Tucker, Yeah, just being out there practice for

283
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: the small portion that the me is out there, it

284
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: seems like Justin Tucker is the same Justin Tucker that

285
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: we've always seen. And so I think the reset for

286
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: him is a positive and you know, excited to see

287
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: him hit some game winners down the stretch here for sure.

288
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: And then another talking point of practice this week with

289
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson. He is suspended. So the Ravens announced at

290
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: the end of last week that Deanty Johnson was going

291
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: to be suspended for one game. That suspension basically starts now.

292
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: He was not on the practice field, so he suspended

293
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: this week. He's not going to play in the game

294
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: against the Giants, will not practice over the course of

295
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: this week. So it's a one week suspension.

296
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: Right And Rashad Bateman and Zay Flowers both talked to

297
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: reporters in the locker room, you know, said they'd welcome

298
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson back, and so that's gonna be John Harball,

299
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: I think put it said it, well, all that stuff

300
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: is kind of that's outside noise, that's the waite noise

301
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: around this team. Like right now, it's about football. It's

302
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: about playing your best football. And I think that that

303
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: suspension aside, they are very capable of doing that, right

304
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: And so it's kind of they're blocking that stuff out,

305
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: you know. And and obviously it's a big media story

306
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: anytime a player gets suspended in all those things, but

307
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: I think that this team is kind of taking that

308
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: playoff mentality laser focus, all right, let's play our best

309
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: football right now.

310
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: And I think that I'm with you. I just think

311
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: that that's that's sort of the message the focus coming

312
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: out of the Spy. It goes back to what I said,

313
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: I feel like the playoffs they're they're starting for this team,

314
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: and they're going into that mindset and these next four

315
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: weeks are going to determine where this team goes. And

316
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: I still think I have a lot of optimism around

317
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: the team. I feel like coming out of the by,

318
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: they're going to get things really pointed in the right direction.

319
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: I think that whenever you lose going into a bye week,

320
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: it's just like, we have a negativity to talk about

321
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: for two weeks, and that's what happens. Not to mention

322
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: the fact that the Eagles are maybe the best team

323
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: or one of the best four teams in football. You

324
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: just have you lost to them in a close game

325
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 2: going into the by, and so now everyone's like, oh,

326
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: this is the sky is fallowing, because that's what happens

327
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: when you lose game. And so Eagles, really good team,

328
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: lost a tough game there. But now the Ravens have

329
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: a chance to get back on the right track, and

330
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: I think they will.

331
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, looks like the Ravens will face Drew Locke from

332
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: the Giants. Brian day Ball, their head coach said that

333
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy. Drew Locke went on and

334
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: had an MRI today, but as long as he's healthy,

335
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: he's going to start against the Ravens at quarterback. The

336
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Ravens have faced him one other time when he was

337
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: a starter starter for the Denver Broncos and had a

338
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: pretty lopsided winning that the Ravens are gonna be favored

339
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: to beat the Giants. They're also banged up on their

340
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. They're gonna be favored to win that game.

341
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: But you gotta win it right there. There's no you

342
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: don't just you gotta get on the bus, get off

343
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: the bus, get on the field to play right.

344
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: They don't just give you the dubs.

345
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: And you know the Giants have been struggling, but hey,

346
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: this is a team with talented players and the Ravens

347
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: gotta go up there and they got to get a win.

348
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: And we we gotta go up there and eat some

349
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 3: pizza and we're gonna get that.

350
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: Is that your main focus on the week, and we're gonna.

351
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: Get a head start on that.

352
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: Today we brought in a couple pizza experts, okay to judge,

353
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: to bring us not only some pizza, but also judge

354
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: our reviews of the pizza.

355
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: We always listeners know that we like to do drafts

356
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: on the podcast, and we like food and we like foods.

357
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's really a perfect marriage here food drafts.

358
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: This is exactly what we want here. So we on

359
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,400

Speaker 2: of it. You want to see the foods, the visual experience.

364
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,080

365
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,800

Speaker 3: Here.

397
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: This is Senior vice president of Operations Simon Galan, and

398
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: then Flick Hospitalities chef Tyler Hines, and so chef Tyler.

399
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: He baked all the pizzas and he's also going to

400
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: be our pizza delivery guy.

401
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 3: So and what we're gonna do here is we're gonna

402
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 3: it's kind of like the one byte challenge, right, this

403
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 3: is this is Simon's idea. Really Okay, it's a combination

404
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 3: and it's not just you know, you're the ideas guy.

405
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: Yah, you know, before we before we jump into eating

406
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: the pizza, I do actually just want for the viewers

407
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: or listeners to know have an understanding Simon. Simon makes

408
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: things run behind the scenes here, right, So I don't

409
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: I want to give team effort a team effort. I know,

410
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: I know you've passed the spotlight, but you and your

411
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: team are incredibly important in making everything run here behind

412
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 2: the scenes. Can you just kind of explain quickly what

413
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: it is that Operations does, because I think there's a

414
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 2: lot of people that don't have a full understanding of

415
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: all that goes on to get the team to game

416
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: day and all that.

417
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: Well, it's a total team effort, you know, Operations is

418
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: you know, I always say it's really the team behind

419
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: the team. You know, we're here to support the organization

420
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: on and off the field, whether it's team services, whether

421
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 4: it's our building operations department, our fantastic grounds crew are

422
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: outstanding operations and team travel department, and food services. You know,

423
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 4: it's all working together to make sure that the players

424
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: and the coaches have everything they need for game day.

425
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: Well, the food is really near and near to our heart,

426
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: Oh for sure. I mean I think everybody in the

427
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: organization feels that way. You guys do a great job,

428
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: and we made the transition to Flick Hospitality this offseason,

429
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 2: and I would say probably the biggest talking point when

430
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: you guys arrived was the pizza oven. Yeah, well the

431
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 2: pizza oven, I mean that is that is that kind

432
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 2: of the pride and joy there in the cafeteria?

433
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's gorgeous. I mean it's from right down

434
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 5: the street too, right the company.

435
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, Mary former who's what about a couple.

436
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 5: Half hour Yeah, half hour away from here.

437
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 4: So it's great to be able to support local businesses

438
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 4: and you know, really bring something different that we haven't

439
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: had here before, which I think everybody loves.

440
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: And Chef Tyler just what's it like feeding a football team?

441
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 3: You know what goes into that? I mean, I know

442
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: I eat my fair share. But there's a lot of

443
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: other people also eating a lot of food around here.

444
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a lot of mouths

445
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 5: to feed, right. Definitely are in training camp, you know,

446
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 5: three meals a day, five six days a week depending

447
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: on the week. But uh but we love it. I mean,

448
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: the staff does an unbelievable job in there. I mean

449
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: we we push out probably two hundred to two hundred

450
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 5: fifty pounds of protein every single meal period. So uh so,

451
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 5: definitely keeping the guys fed in full and uh and

452
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 5: fueled for the game. So just trying to prepare them

453
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 5: for the week every week.

454
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: All right, what are some of the favorites? Like, what

455
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: are players favorite things that you make?

456
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 5: Well, there's the pizza, right, they definitely love the pizza.

457
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 5: Another favorite that we're actually doing tonight for dinner or

458
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: Korean short rips.

459
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 2: That's a big one.

460
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: That is a good one.

461
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,840

462
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 5: Day anything Mexican a big one there too.

463
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: So you limit that to tuesdays.

464
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 5: However the menu falls on that day. I just try

465
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 5: and mix and match it a little bit.

466
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, Simon, do you have who has final say

467
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: on the menu here, how does this work? Do you

Speaker 2: the process go of building out this menu?

470
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 4: Well, you know, chef works really closely with our head

471
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: of sports nutrition and Sarah Snyder, and they really work

472
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: in tandem to really create the menu. Sarah does a

473
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: fantastic job of fueling the athletes and making sure that

474
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 4: they have everything they need, and we really work in

475
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 4: her direction and make sure that the players, coaches and

476
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: staff of everything they need to be successful.

477
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

478
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: So one other cool thing about this trip, sorry to

479
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: cut you off, Garrett, is that we take the train

480
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: to New York and Simon and his crew kind of

481
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: all organized. That's very different from flying to all the

482
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: other cities obviously, well not all of them, but Philly.

483
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: We take a train, right, But what goes into that, Like,

484
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: take us a little bit behind the scenes about what

485
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: it's like putting an NFL team on a train.

486
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's definitely different than our normal standard plane flight.

487
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: Right.

488
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: Joan and Dan in the team travel department do a

489
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: fantastic job of making sure that everything runs seamless from

490
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: you know, parking at the train station and getting on

491
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: the train and getting off to get on the bus

492
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: to get to the hotel, to then doing it all

493
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 4: over again on game day, right, And it's trying to

494
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 4: really just keep no matter if it's planes, trains, buses,

495
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 4: it's trying to keep everything consistency and trying to make

496
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 4: sure that everybody is doing the things that they need

497
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: to do without having to worry about where we're going

498
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 4: and what we're doing.

499
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: And Join and Dan do a fantastic drop.

500
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: It's a lot of moving parts, right because you're traveling

501
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 4: with over two hundred people, but they make it so

502
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 4: seamless where that nobody ever really notices.

503
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

504
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: One thing I'll say about team travel that I've learned

505
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: very early on is you know, if the bus leaves

506
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: it one, the bus leaves at one. And so if

507
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: you listen, if you listen to you the podcast after games,

508
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 2: if we sound rush at all, because we're both on

509
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: the road, we want to make sure that we're not

510
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 2: spending the night in the city that we don't intend

511
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: to be spending the night because Simon will leave us, Simon,

512
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: you will leave us.

513
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: The time is the time, you know, guys.

514
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: You know it's like when we say hey, when I

515
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 4: send that a text out after the game saying, Hey,

516
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: we're leaving in one hour. We're leaving in one out,

517
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: So I won't say you'll see the buses behind you

518
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 4: if you're not if you're not there in an hour.

519
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: But I wouldn't try it either.

520
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: One time I was running down the plane was taken off.

521
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: I was running on the runway and I just look

522
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: in the window. I see Simon and he just goes, I'm.

523
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: Just kidding.

524
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: For you.

525
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 3: I might do it just because you're my guy. All right,

526
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: let's say some pizza. All right, So we're gonna bring

527
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: out five different pizzas. Chef Taler, can you tell us

528
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: all the pizzas?

529
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a Detroit style pizza.

530
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: Okay.

531
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 5: We have a deep dish from Chicago. We also have

532
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 5: a New Haven style pizza. I don't know if you've

533
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 5: got you guys have ever tried that? I think I

534
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: have a pizza is it super thin, super thing crossed? Yep?

535
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 5: Brooklyn style, and then we also have like a classic neopolodan.

536
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: All right, all right, what is the pizza that we

537
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: typically make here in the facility. Typically it's like, okay.

538
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 3: This week because of the jazzka.

539
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, we've we've done. Yeah, we have New York this

540
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 5: week actually.

541
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: Tomorrow to okay, all right, well hold on, do we

542
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 4: talk about the toppings?

543
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Oh, the toppings are all consistent, right, we had to

544
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: have the baseline, right, this just pepperoni?

545
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: Right?

546
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: All right?

547
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 3: Well, I'm lactus and tolerant. This is gonna end.

548
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: Really, what do you want to start it up?

549
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: To? You?

550
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 5: Guys? What do you think, Simon?

551
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 4: Do you want to try New York?

552
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 3: Since yeah, New York that way? Now, Now, in New

553
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: York slice is that you have to be able to

554
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 3: fold it kind of yeah, a little more.

555
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: Of a fold.

556
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: New York and the Neapolitan are very similar. The Neapolitan

557
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 5: is just a little more like rustic. You'll see like

558
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 5: a little more burn around the edges, not burn, I guess,

559
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 5: like crisp. But the New York kind of should hold

560
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: up to like eat them, eat them to go. You know,

561
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 5: when you're walking down the streets in New York.

562
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: See, now I think of a New York it's almost

563
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: like a like a like cold like and New Yorkers

564
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: are obviously very judgmental pizza. So like, when you're making

565
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: a New York style pizza, do you feel like the

566
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: steaks are really high.

567
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: Prussures on.

568
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: Man at the pizza oven. How hot does the pizza

569
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 2: oven get down there?

570
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: This one gets up to eight eight fifty if we

571
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: need it to. Most of these are cooked around six hundred.

572
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 2: Okay, so this cooked around six hundred.

573
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 5: How long? Yeah, five to seven minutes, depending on the

574
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: on the pizza. But yeah, this one probably about six minutes.

575
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: Okay. Geez man, Yeah that was it one slice? Myself

576
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 3: restrain is low. Yeah, I do need that lacta though.

577
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: I do like the cheese.

578
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: You know, it's not too much, it's just the right amount.

579
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a blend that we make in house. It's

580
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 5: a mozzarella, fontina and parmesan.

581
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: All together, right, the same, the same cheese on every

582
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: every pizza.

583
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, just consistency for this. But yeah, that's the only

584
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 5: one that's slightly different is the Detroit because you can't

585
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 5: make Detroit style pizza without Wisconsin cheddar cheese.

586
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 4: I think the pepperoni did help the overall quality.

587
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: Of the pizza.

588
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, I think the pepperoni was really really good.

589
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: So is it going to be different on the other The.

590
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 5: Same pepperoni on everyone except the deep dish ones.

591
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 3: But all right, all right, let's move on.

592
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 2: Let's go what do you want to go with next?

593
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: Detroit?

594
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 5: So the theory behind these guys is, uh, the Detroit

595
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 5: style pizza pans they say actually made in drip pans

596
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: from oil with cars back in the day in Detroit, right,

597
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 5: And that's how they came up with the idea to

598
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: make these pizzas and drip pands. So that's why Detroit

599
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 5: style pans are made.

600
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: That seems healthy. Yeah, yeah, just a little oil on it. Look,

601
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 3: this is amazing. I attempted to take the one with

602
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: a lot of cheese on it.

603
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna.

604
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: You're not that guy.

605
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 5: The corner ones are the best ones.

606
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: It's like it's like a breadstick. Yeah, but with like

607
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: the stuff on top.

608
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: What what is the cheese mixture on top?

609
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: So same cheese mixture And just I was we're caught

610
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 5: on top too.

611
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you see the big Yeah, this is

612
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: what happens to the garlic nuts and the I'm gonna

613
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: bring them back?

614
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 5: That is a constant question. We're going to bring them back.

615
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 5: We just have to wait for our numbers to change up.

616
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, because you guys do make a lot of

617
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 2: different things into pizza oven.

618
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: The garlic yeah, yeah, the first time the garlic mats

619
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: ever came out, our our boss Michelle, she had she

620
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: had us go back. She was like, everybody's going back

621
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: for seconds of gard It was like a mandatory thing,

622
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: and she was not wrong.

623
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 5: It's so funny. It's like the simplest thing that we

624
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 5: make to and everybody's like, oh, this is the best

625
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 5: thing ever. You know, hey, we have to bring it back.

626
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 2: So I I I went in, I won't say with

627
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: low expectations for Detroy, but didn't really know like what

628
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 2: to expect. And this has impressed me more than I

629
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: even expected it too. Yeah, I just think it's I

630
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: think it's it's excellent.

631
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 5: There's a really sneaky good style pizza place around.

632
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 2: Her too, Okay, And I mean I think I think

633
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: that the only issue with it is if I eat

634
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 2: too much of that, like I will be asleep for

635
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: the rest of this podcast. But it is pretty dopey.

636
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: It is very there's not much sauce. It's normal sauce.

637
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can see that.

638
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, so we have New Haven style pizza next.

639
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: Okay, big change up big change.

640
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: Change up, especially from the Detroit.

641
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: But it does, That's what I'm saying.

642
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: But but like so it's just New York. Yeah, I

643
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: was gonna say, I would give just probably guess New

644
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 2: York and looking at it, it's just thinner cross, thinner cross.

645
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 5: It's very consistent around. There's no like big crust on

646
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 5: the end. It should be like crispier across the board. Yeah,

647
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 5: all right, these are actually served smaller, a little bit

648
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 5: smaller typically, but just had to had to go all

649
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 5: out for you.

650
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: This, this is a little little less flap than the

651
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: New York. Right, you wouldn't fold this, see you would

652
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: have folded you could be could.

653
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: But it's a pinch. I would say, it's not a fold.

654
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 3: It's a pinch.

655
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

656
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not gonna say it's the best part,

657
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: but it's right up.

658
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: It's an important piece. Cross. You're you're skipping a really yeah,

659
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: miss have you ever done a stuff crust or now?

660
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 5: Oh?

661
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, stuff? Oh for sure.

662
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: No, I don't need it backwards like some people do.

663
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: That's just a little, i mean a little too out

664
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: there for We saw, yeah, we saw how.

665
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: Many kids do that, but we saw how you devoured

666
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: the Detroit style, which is basically all cross because it's

667
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: so thick. Yes, that's my I think it's got the

668
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 2: scales of tilted all day.

669
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: You don't get this body without carbs.

670
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 5: Body by carbs.

671
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: Love it carvesier well, I mean a good one for

672
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: carbs and is probably a deep dish, right.

673
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 5: Cars.

674
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: You know.

675
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: I am a little impressed with the new Haven.

676
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 3: You're what you're impressed new Haven?

677
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know that I've had I had had

678
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: new Haven. Maybe I had, I just didn't notice it.

679
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: I feel like it's a little bit more easier, like

680
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: you know in the cafeteria. You know, you want to nibble,

681
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 4: but it doesn't before you grab something else. That's kind

682
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: of like a walk around type of pizza.

683
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: Wow, oh my, so we have the deep dish here.

684
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm excited about this. Okay, so obviously no pepperoni on

685
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: this one. Wait a second, So there is deep dish.

686
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 5: You do a very thin layer of sauce, sorry, very

687
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: thin layer of cheese, very thin layers. All of your

688
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 5: toppings underneath that, cheese on top of that, and then

689
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: sauce on top of that.

690
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: I did not know that do you make is this

691
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: in the pizza oven too.

692
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so sorry, go ahead, how do you? How

693
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: do you prepare it?

694
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: Obviously it's a different pan.

695
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 5: Different pans, So the Detroit and the Deep Dish are

696
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 5: both in pans, and the rest of them just go

697
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 5: right in the pizza oven on the stone. But this

698
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: takes a lot longer. This took probably about twenty five

699
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: minutes at about four hundred degrees instead.

700
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: So okay, So Simon previously worked for the Chicago Bear,

701
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: so he's the expert on this Chicago Deep Dish.

702
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 3: Here are you? Does this bias you at all? You're

703
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 3: the judge. Do you remain unbiased? That's of course, okay.

704
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: He's a true journalist, big jay journalist right in.

705
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: This might be the fork and knife one we go fork,

706
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 5: no fork, we just go. I doesn't bring any forks,

707
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 5: So I apologize, all right.

708
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: So I will admit that the last time we played

709
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: in Chicago late night, ordered ordered it some pizza. Everybody

710
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: else wanted to go to some other place for dinner

711
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: that night, Like my little travel party crew I was

712
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: hanging with that night, and I'm like, we gotta get

713
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Deep Dish pizza while we're here. They were like nah,

714
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: we don't feel like blah blah bla blah. So I

715
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: get back to my hotel room late that night, I'm like,

716
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting Deep Dish pizza while in Chicago, Like that

717
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: is happening. I'm not hungry at all, but I order

718
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: it delivery to the room, bring it up. They didn't

719
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: include plates.

720
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm just in the hotel room.

721
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to eat this pizza all in bed, sauce

722
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: on sauce all over the duvet.

723
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: A mess. I mean, what color was it was? It

724
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: was it like a white sauce. No, No, the sheets,

725
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: the sheets, white sheets, That's where you saw that hotel

726
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 3: I The next morning I go, I'm like wiping it all.

727
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to clean it all up. Next morning go

728
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: down to joone right and uh, I'm like, I gotta

729
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: come clean. These duvets are will never be the same.

730
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: Let me know what the bill is, like, I know

731
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: this is getting charged room.

732
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: She's like, don't worry about it.

733
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: We got you so that your staff, I mean professionals,

734
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: that's what they said.

735
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: But then they just payroll deducted you. I hope you

736
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 2: didn't notice. What do you think of the Deep Dish

737
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: so I'll be honest, My style is not My preferred

738
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 2: style is not deep dish. It's just it's just a

739
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 2: little bit too much. It's daunting, where like I think

740
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 2: it's it's it's good, but it's not my preferred style

741
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: of pizza. Like and even the like the Detroit is thick,

742
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: and that is I guess daunting as well, because it's

743
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: a big thick piece. But it's it feels a little

744
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 2: bit more consumable than deep dish.

745
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: To me, I get, I gotta get a little a

746
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: b testing here, go back and you Haven, you're gonna.

747
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Need a couple more slices because you already ate your whole.

748
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 3: Detroit. It's like lighter, it feels heavier.

749
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 5: They say that, like this is like the Lasagna of pizzas.

750
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, as is a Chicago expert. Were you a fan

751
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 2: of deep dish in Chicago? Oh for sure, Okay, for sure.

752
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 4: But there's so many options, you know, I don't know.

753
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 4: I guess when I'm looking at all these pizzas, right, like,

754
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: look at New Haven, we're looking at New York Style,

755
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 4: We're looking at Chicago and Detroit. The Detroit one just

756
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 4: seems a little too much dough like it just seems

757
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: like a lot of bread.

758
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: It feels different.

759
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 4: It does feel different, and it's different than any of

760
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: the others. I'm not going to say what I'm leaning towards,

761
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: but but I will say that, uh, Detroit, So I

762
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: just kind of I don't know, it just doesn't I'm

763
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: not a big fan.

764
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: I guess, okay, I guess I can stow that away.

765
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: That we're doing this.

766
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: We're doing our power ranking, right, make and I will

767
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: both do our power rankings. And we'll let Simon be

768
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: the judge here.

769
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 3: But he's slipping his hand.

770
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: He is to be now, we're just now.

771
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 3: But I'm not just trying to don't just appeal to

772
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: the judge.

773
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: It's okay to peal to the judge.

774
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 2: Or maybe maybe or maybe he's trying to throw you off.

775
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 2: And we already talked about this.

776
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: You just off the same, all right? All right? What

777
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 3: do we have left? All right?

778
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 5: Last one is the Neapolitan.

779
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 3: Neapolitan alright, let's do it.

780
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 4: This one.

781
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 5: The only difference between the rest of them has fresh

782
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 5: mozzarella pearls on it. So most Neapolitan pizzas just fresh

783
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 5: mozzarella is the only cheese. And then basil tomato. It's

784
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 5: very classic style pizza.

785
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: So okay, And this looks like the crust is a

786
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: little bit thicker than the New York, so it's kind

787
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: of like an incremental New Haven is like the smallest,

788
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 2: then the New York and then the Neapolitan there and

789
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: then obviously the deep dish of the Detroit. Are different styles,

790
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: but just from a thickness standpoint.

791
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: Ye yeah, cross, all right, all right, I like the pearls.

792
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: Like some people in the office are like, oh, the

793
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: pizza is amazing, but I can't have pizza.

794
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: Every day like that is why not a bad move?

795
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 3: You're not one of those, not one of those people.

796
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: And we have the flatbreads. We do a lot of

797
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: different things. That's the thing you should tell listeners too.

798
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: It's not just the pizza of It's not just for pizza.

799
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, califlower cross pizzas obviously, but I mean in the past,

800
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 5: we've done like rocks of lamb through the pizza oven.

801
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: We've we have a plan coming up hopefully to do

802
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 5: some uh some half lobsters running through the pizza oven

803
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 5: with some garlic butter on top, all that good stuff.

804
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 5: So salmon, Yeah, we do a lot of different stuff

805
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: in there. We do, yeah, cedar, plank salmon. So got

806
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 5: that nice smoke in there.

807
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: It's really nice. Mm hmm.

808
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to send me an email on that

809
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: lobster when that's coming, so I don't miss that.

810
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. All right, this is great.

811
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 2: This is really good. All right, I need to write

812
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 2: down my list here.

813
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: Very good, No, Chef Tyler, you've outdone yourself. Well let's

814
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: just start there. These are all amazing. Okay, I have mine, Garrett,

815
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: you have your your list.

816
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 3: Yes, I do have power ranking for New York Giants.

817
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: We do rock paper cis.

818
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Well this, No, we don't rock paper scisors. Just so

819
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: you guys. We often do drafts on and I'm on

820
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 2: a cold streak when it comes to the drafts on Lamb.

821
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: She's beating me on like five straight. But it all

822
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: comes down to that loose rock paper scissors. So this

823
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: is a bit more of an even playing field because

824
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: we are dealing with the same stuff. We just have

825
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 2: to rank them. So here's my rankings. I will go

826
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 2: worst to best worst.

827
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: I want I want the big reveal. You're right, you're right,

828
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: you're right.

829
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, New Haven, Oh, Chicago, New York. Second

830
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 2: was Detroit, and number one was Neapolitan.

831
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 3: Wow, I really liked I really liked.

832
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: The mozarella pearls. I really like the mozrella pearls on

833
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: the uh Neapolitan, And it's a similar I like the

834
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: there's like the crust is a little a little bit

835
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: more cheer than the New Haven, which the crust on

836
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 2: the New Haven was just a little bit more like. Uh, yeah,

837
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: then I prefer And so I like the Neapolitan and

838
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: the Detroit. I love it's unique. Like I don't think

839
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: I could go Detroit like as as the every day

840
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: as as my everyday driver there, but I think that,

841
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: like as a nice change up, Detroit was excellent.

842
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: Okay, are we saying this is every day like if

843
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: we're picking y day? Okay, all right, make sure I

844
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,280
Speaker 1: have the rules right, all right, I'm going last Chicago, Okay,

845
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: Then I'm going.

846
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 3: Nepolitan. Oh okay, so big gap, big gap there, major shakeup.

847
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Then I'm going Are you deciding on the fly here?

848
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: Do you know? I feel like that I'm going New York. Okay,

849
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: then I'm going New York. I'm going New Haven. Number

850
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: two actually no flip, New Haven, then New York top.

851
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: We're going Detroit.

852
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: So we both we I mean we're obviously we were

853
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: both high in Detroit. Yeah, Simon, not number one.

854
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't like it.

855
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: Detroit is the bottom.

856
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: To the bottom too.

857
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: Much right there.

858
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 3: I might need another just to make sure I have

859
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 3: it right.

860
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 4: The pizza has to be where you can hold in

861
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 4: your hand, nothing comes off, you can walk with it.

862
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: So you're going New York. He's going New Haven?

863
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 5: All right?

864
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: All right, right, Simon, Simon, give us yours, give us yours.

865
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go from I'm gonna go

866
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: from work. So I'm gonna go Neapolitan, Yes, New Haven two.

867
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: New York.

868
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 4: Chicago Style four and then Detroit five.

869
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 3: Wow, Simon, formerly, my guy, gal, you know what.

870
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 4: It just the Neapolitan I thought was just the right temperature, right.

871
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: I thought the texture was really good. You know. It

872
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 4: still had the traditional crust that I think we all

873
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 4: are accustomed to. Uh, but still you can hold in

874
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 4: your hand. Yeah, still move around.

875
00:37:59,080 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not.

876
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 2: And the again the mozzarella, like the fresh monzrella on there,

877
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: really kind of sets it over the edge.

878
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 4: I thought it was great, and I thought new Haven

879
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 4: could be potentially up there because the no crust sometimes

880
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 4: tempts me.

881
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: All right, but everybody, what was your number?

882
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: You don't have to give us a full five, but

883
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: what's your number one?

884
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 5: My top two are definitely New Haven and Detroit. Detroit's

885
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 5: probably number one. New Haven, like right out of the oven,

886
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 5: that's probably the best.

887
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: The most crust in the least crust for you are

888
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: the top two. That's interesting.

889
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 5: I like the crunch factor though, the crunch factor you

890
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 5: get on both, you know, so like the outside of

891
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 5: the Detroit you get a lot of good crunch on

892
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 5: even though it's a little bratdy.

893
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know.

894
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 5: Right out of the oven new Haven style is probably

895
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: my favorite kind of pizza. But it's got to be

896
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 5: right out of the oven. I mean, it crunches, it's fantastic.

897
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 2: So well, I'm glad that you're with us on the

898
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 2: Detroit Stalles Simon is the he's the objector on the

899
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: Detroit style, but I'm glad that us were aligned in that.

900
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 2: Chef Tyler, so I like that all right?

901
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: With all these left hovers, you know, I.

902

909
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: for joining us and for bringing pizza. I feel like

910
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: I should win this by default because.

911
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: I am half Italian, so you get automatically.

912
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: Automatically.

913
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: My mother is full blooded Italian Marsilly, the named Marsilly.

914
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: There's no more Italian name Marsilly, So I feel like

915
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm a pizza.

916
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: Expert, okay, just by nature.

917
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: Well, Simon agree with me on my ranking, so we're

918
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: gonna stick with that. But we both did have Detroit style,

919
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: which is like you're talking up like the Italian side

920
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 2: of things. That's like the least authentic Italian pizza of

921
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: all of them.

922
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: But he said it's kind of like a Fakasha crust

923
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: for Kasha.

924
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: That's fair, very Italian.

925
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,080
