Speaker 3: Just drinking beer and making na baby. I'm hanging with
Speaker 3: the feelers.

Speaker 5: the one of Will Compton here for your favorite show
Speaker 5: involving a bus.

Speaker 2: We we are out in Chicago right now shooting a
Speaker 2: little late Sunday night.

Speaker 5: The Falcons are up against the Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 5: One minute left, Patrick Mahomes driving. Haven't seen what happens there.

Speaker 5: for a month now, dude, telling people to subscribe. At
Speaker 5: the beginning of the show, and it's repetitive, it's redundant,
Speaker 5: it's all the things that could cause the everyday viewer

Speaker 5: it works. We're noticing that new viewers when we just
Speaker 5: asked this question, just please do us a favor and

Speaker 5: It's a mouthful. It's a mouthful that we got us there. So, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's Sunday. I've been You guys have noticed. I've been
Speaker 5: out of town, doing some stuff in Arizona, doing some
Speaker 5: stuff in Vegas. Can't really break down the stuff in Arizona,
Speaker 5: but if you want to, I can definitely break down
Speaker 5: the stuff in Vegas.
Speaker 2: They could also watch the vlog we just dropped last Friday,
Speaker 2: and if they're doing some good numbers right now, is it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I have looked. I was just happy because to me,
Speaker 5: every time I go to Vegas, it's essentially like please God,
Speaker 5: boys watch this so I can keep.
Speaker 2: Going to base.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they continue to get right the minute those numbers
Speaker 5: start to drop the rest of the boys, but like,
Speaker 5: do you still need to go? And it's like, mentally, yes,
Speaker 5: I have. I actually I genuinely have an issue with
Speaker 5: playing cards now. I genuinely have that addictive personality and
Speaker 5: it's really just affected me in a big way. But yeah,
Speaker 5: the vlog, I thought Jackie JP. Everybody who put their
Speaker 5: fingers on that that editing process did an amazing job
Speaker 5: because it's a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 2: Going back to you were reading the Chevy Silverado ad
Speaker 2: and right before the show, we were talking about you
Speaker 2: being in the market for a big boy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you think about going So we had we
Speaker 5: we've we've had conversations about what trucks look best, and I, dude,
Speaker 5: I love your ZR two. I think it's so sick.
Speaker 5: Here's my problem. I have a like a weird thing.
Speaker 2: One we could get uniform uniform tru Yeah, I like us.
Speaker 5: That does fire me up a little bit. But like
Speaker 5: for me, it's like I want a truck, but with
Speaker 5: just a little Taylor twist to it. I wanted something
Speaker 5: that you know, lets me say it's mine and it's
Speaker 5: special to me. Yeah, I chose to do this. Now
Speaker 5: you can do that with the lift and of everything
Speaker 5: like that. But I see so many ZR twos out there,
Speaker 5: and the next week I so.
Speaker 2: You say so many, There's not so many.
Speaker 5: See a lot, dude. Like I said, Vegas, Arizona. I
Speaker 5: just feel like.
Speaker 2: People listen to the show. People listen to the show,
Speaker 2: talk about the.
Speaker 5: And they're like, I gotta give me some of that.
Speaker 5: And it is a beautiful vehicle. All those cameras and
Speaker 5: everything are incredible, But I just I see so many
Speaker 5: of them out there. And I've always been a guy
Speaker 5: that admired a diesel. I've always been a guy that
Speaker 5: saw a cowboy on the ranch get into his diesel
Speaker 5: truck with his dog in the back and suck to myself, Fuck,
Speaker 5: he's cool. I want to be cool too, So I
Speaker 5: think I believe in my heart the next truck I
Speaker 5: get is going to be a diesel truck with a
Speaker 5: twenty five hundred or a thirty five hundred. But then
Speaker 5: we got onto this conversation. Yeah, and essentially you'll find
Speaker 5: out that Will and I are probably saying the same things,
Speaker 5: just with different lenses of glasses on. But my thought
Speaker 5: process is when you see a twenty five hundred, you
Speaker 5: see a guy with a truck, you think there's a man,
Speaker 5: that's a guy, that's a dude. Yeah, you see a
Speaker 5: guy with a twenty five hundred, thirty five hundred diesel truck,
Speaker 5: you think all the things he thought about the guy
Speaker 5: with the truck, But just maybe like a little bit
Speaker 5: more like shit, maybe, hey, what's he up to?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 5: My guy's so handed?
Speaker 2: But the the concept of it is, it's like that
Speaker 2: man has a real blue collar job.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're sitting up in a diesel.
Speaker 2: Diesel, I think it's featured your body, your size and
Speaker 2: all that stuff. You're a man.
Speaker 5: I'm a man.
Speaker 2: But believe it's that's the perception I get when I
Speaker 2: see somebody ripping around in a diesel. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: they got.
Speaker 5: They get their hands, they work with their hands.
Speaker 2: What's saying it's like all hat no cattle, Like guys
Speaker 2: with diesels. I'm just assuming they're all cattle. Yeah, to
Speaker 2: go with the cattle. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. If
Speaker 2: you're ripping around in a diesel, I'm thinking you know.
Speaker 5: Me too well to know that I have no Yeah,
Speaker 5: there's cattle, no trousers, no cattle.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 5: The bad version is, I'm you're so you're calling me
Speaker 5: if we're in middle school, you call me a poser.
Speaker 5: I'm not taking as an insult, but that's what's happening
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: And now now I have to go into the mental
Speaker 5: struggle of waiting the pros and cons is will my
Speaker 5: best friend thinking of me as a poser affect my purchase?
Speaker 5: And honestly, it's fifty to fifty right now.
Speaker 2: It's really a.
Speaker 5: Coin flip or whether or not I changed.
Speaker 2: But maybe I just want you to get his ZR two,
Speaker 2: So I know we're just we got a duo going on.
Speaker 5: I know that would be and you have you have,
Speaker 5: in my opinion, the best one because there's a lot
Speaker 5: of different colors you can have. Yeah. And there was
Speaker 5: one vehicle creator, we won't say the vehicle careator he was,
Speaker 5: but he had a famous quote that said, you could
Speaker 5: have any color you want as long as it's black. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And that is a tried and true statement for you
Speaker 5: when it comes to vehicles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to get some tires on it, some differents, different.
Speaker 5: Wheel tires, and I like a little I like a
Speaker 5: inch quarter and a half inches like space of the tires.
Speaker 5: They kind of come out of the wheelbells a little bit,
Speaker 5: just a little. It gives that bulldog a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 5: just a little, like you can't be pushing this truck around. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm with you on that. Do you want to talk
Speaker 5: about the good or you want talk about the bad.
Speaker 5: What is it your choice subject, that's your choice, good
Speaker 5: or bad.
Speaker 2: Let's get the bad news the other way for Nebraska dog,
Speaker 2: I thought, you're gonna go Titans.
Speaker 5: We'll talk about them too, because that is that's the good,
Speaker 5: the bad, and the ugly. That's the ugly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I won't lie. I was very bothered after
Speaker 2: we lost. I took it like everybody else, the boys
Speaker 2: on the field, in the locker room, in the stadium,
Speaker 2: the fans everywhere all over the world. That was a
Speaker 2: tough loss for us. And it sucks because we had
Speaker 2: like ten penalties. Felt like we were a little self sabotaging.
Speaker 2: We're going on the game winning drive. The boy Dylan,
Speaker 2: who is a stud still he is a stud. He
Speaker 2: is the guy. But we have a tight end running
Speaker 2: open in the end zone. Going to the end zone.
Speaker 2: He just overthrows him a little bit.
Speaker 5: That hurt.
Speaker 2: Not near as bad as the missfield little wide left.
Speaker 2: We had about a thirty five yarder to go up
Speaker 2: three very late in the game. We didn't hit that.
Speaker 2: We didn't hit that touchdown. We had a fifty to
Speaker 2: fifty ball go up earlier in the game that turned
Speaker 2: into an interception in the end zone. Great ball, great
Speaker 2: going up to get it. The defender made a great play.
Speaker 2: He came down with an interception. So it's like thinking
Speaker 2: of those things. It sucks because we know we're the
Speaker 2: better ball club. However, we did not come we we
Speaker 2: don't shoot ourselves on the foot. We blow our foot
Speaker 2: off and overtime start with the penalty. Dylan's just getting
Speaker 2: eight up in the backfield like it was gobbled up, dude, yeah,
Speaker 2: gobbled gobbled no pause, no diddy, yeah, no diddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it was, uh, it sucked, man, Like I was.
Speaker 2: I had a little birthday dinner. They wheeled in the
Speaker 2: TV for us so we could watch the game. Everybody
Speaker 2: else is having a good time. I'm dialed into the
Speaker 2: football game. And we lost that game, and it was,
Speaker 2: uh yeah, it felt like any other loss I've taken
Speaker 2: on the football field because I feel like I'm just
Speaker 2: a part of this team. I feel like I'm a
Speaker 2: part of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But yeah, and as an outsider perspective, this loss, you
Speaker 5: guys have lost a lot of games in recent years, Like, so,
Speaker 5: you guys have gotten your ass beats so many Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, like I know I know, I know,
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's been so but it's not the same. It's
Speaker 5: not it's not dude. This is you had a tweet
Speaker 5: you put out either Saturday night or Sunday morning, like
Speaker 5: I think we needed that, and you're like, who, what
Speaker 5: the fuck am I saying? I'm so lost right now.
Speaker 2: That was close to midnight on Friday night, So still
Speaker 2: trying to process the lass.
Speaker 5: Yeah, truly, like you got yourself a good ball club now,
Speaker 5: a Matt Rule ball club plays good, hard nose poised football.
Speaker 5: To have ten penalties, he's unacceptable. And the think good
Speaker 5: thing is maybe your boys in the last couple of
Speaker 5: years wouldn't have noticed that it was unacceptable. These boys,
Speaker 5: the ones in this locker room, understand that, Hey, we're
Speaker 5: all disappointed, and we all know why we're disappointed because
Speaker 5: the expectation is the expectation and so you juiced this
Speaker 5: is exactly what Nebraska needed and unfortunately, guess what, you're
Speaker 5: not going undefeed it anymore. Boo whoo, who cares? How
Speaker 5: to deal with that? A couple of weeks ago? Here,
Speaker 5: what you do? You watch the film, you get after
Speaker 5: it and you play hard nose Nebraska football from here
Speaker 5: on out. And now here's where I think your win is.
Speaker 5: We talked about this on the plane. Ohio State has Oregon,
Speaker 5: then y'all, then Penn State. If you're going into that
Speaker 5: game seven and zero, that's not a sleeper. Hey, maybe
Speaker 5: we'll watch these boys out of the way to make
Speaker 5: can't coast through it. They're going to play an undefeated
Speaker 5: Oregon team.
Speaker 2: Well flying across the country. Organ's undefeated.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but I don't know if he'll be undefated
Speaker 5: because they have to play Michigan. I don't know when
Speaker 5: they play Michigan. They play on one loss Oregon team.
Speaker 5: Just to cover my basis, Oregon's good ball club. Then
Speaker 5: they play y'all and they're like, oh, they lost to Illinois.
Speaker 5: They lost. They were ten point favorites, they lost to them.
Speaker 5: That's a bad ball club.
Speaker 2: The Illinois is not a bad ball club.
Speaker 5: They don't know. People in the Big Ten do not
Speaker 5: respect Illinois.
Speaker 2: Then watch the show. They would know that Illinois is
Speaker 2: not a bad ball club. They're a tough ball club.
Speaker 2: They take on the personality of their head coach. They
Speaker 2: run the football well. They ran the football very successfully
Speaker 2: against US, which sucked. Sucked because we have a good defense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but Illinois is not a team to sleep on. You
Speaker 2: guys got to play Illinois. Yeah, that ain't just gonna be.
Speaker 2: That ain't just a fat w in the in the column,
Speaker 2: in the w W in the call.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Hear what you're saying. You got a we can talk about, Well,
Speaker 5: we'll talk about that said, we're talk about Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Right, you're right, I'm with you. Makeup of this team,
Speaker 2: this is one where everybody in that locker room, in
Speaker 2: those four walls, they are very disappointed. They know that
Speaker 2: it's not Nebraska football. That's not how they do things.
Speaker 2: They're going they're going to get back to work because
Speaker 2: there is no time to bleed out right now, no
Speaker 2: time your wounds quick. We gotta show up. We gotta
Speaker 2: show because we're going into Purdue this week. We gotta
Speaker 2: beat the rest. It is a bad week to be
Speaker 2: a boiler Maker.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well if Indiana, Indiana's again, is not another team to
Speaker 2: sleep on.
Speaker 5: They just they're always a team that puts up like
Speaker 5: fifty points.
Speaker 2: Again, right, and they have like you know, you think
Speaker 2: Indiana they have the brand that's not very but Jamie
Speaker 2: was a great football team. Last year, that staff goes
Speaker 2: to Indiana, they're mopping, They're mopping folks. They killed u C.
Speaker 2: L A, which UCLA played a tough game against LSU. Now,
Speaker 2: whether or not LSU is actually a good team is
Speaker 2: yet Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, But Indiana again, it is
Speaker 2: not a team to sleep on. I think obviously I'm
Speaker 2: looking at I can't wait to bounce back. I hope
Speaker 2: it's we win. Ohiose saying stuff like that, but we
Speaker 2: still gotta we gotta get better this.
Speaker 5: We gotta put you to put in a coffin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta put them in a fucking cough.
Speaker 5: You're saying the same thing that everybody who watches this
Speaker 5: show knows. The Big the Big Ten is the best conference.
Speaker 5: We have a conference, most put together conference.
Speaker 2: Now, just not the gloss over it, because we know
Speaker 2: we are homers for our conference. But the SEC at
Speaker 2: the top is tough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at the top, at the top.
Speaker 2: Georgia, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Yeah, Tennessee, Old Miss Tennessee beat
Speaker 2: the hell out of Oklahoma.
Speaker 5: Yeah, handle them, handle them. And I said to see
Speaker 5: you earlier. I think Tennessee, I think balls. Countries got
Speaker 5: a lot to be excited about right now. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 5: find out October nineteenth.
Speaker 2: Alabama, Alabama. I wonder who they have before then, yes, usually.
Speaker 1: Or nothing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'll just assume they don't play Georgia or
Speaker 5: Ole Miss. They might though before then. I think they
Speaker 5: do pull that up. All we'll just keep talking. All
Speaker 5: that to be said. I see Nebraska upsetting Ohio State
Speaker 5: in a few weeks, which makes me really excited. I
Speaker 5: think that I think that's a big one Ohio State deserves.
Speaker 5: They just paid for their their you know, they paid
Speaker 5: for their success, and that's not an admirable thing to have.
Speaker 5: You're you're right.
Speaker 2: They go to and Tennessee goes to Arkansas next week,
Speaker 2: and then they host Florida and then Alabama. So yeah,
Speaker 2: they should handle businesses, they.
Speaker 5: Should handle business. They got to.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: I know Florida's ship. I know that it's a bad
Speaker 5: ball club down there. I don't know exactly what town.
Speaker 2: It is, but.
Speaker 5: That's that's a trap game, you think, so for Tennessee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5: Mean college ball. Florida's ass, they everyone knows their ass
Speaker 5: were disrespect to the Gators. They're looking Yeah, and so
Speaker 5: it's kind of one of those things like Tennessee just
Speaker 5: better buck up for that one. Yeah, just do what
Speaker 5: they did at Chattanooga and be up fifty points at halftime.
Speaker 5: That's that's what we really want to do.
Speaker 1: Jo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got out of it. We feel good about Nebraska,
Speaker 5: we feel good about birthday party, and you sat there.
Speaker 2: But again, where we're in a position to where this
Speaker 2: type of team, this outfit that we have, we could
Speaker 2: easily been a spot, be in a spot later in
Speaker 2: the year to where we look back at this Illinois
Speaker 2: game and say that was the best thing that ever
Speaker 2: happened to us, right right, because I know you're right
Speaker 2: and high. Yeah, you know what, you're right high to
Speaker 2: where you're saying we're gonna beat We're gonna mop Oregon,
Speaker 2: We're gonna you know not, who else do you got?
Speaker 5: You don't know what's changing my narrative, how much my
Speaker 5: narrative change.
Speaker 2: It hasn't.
Speaker 5: It hasn't. I literally said, I said two weeks ago
Speaker 5: on the podcast, right after Texas, you're looking at a
Speaker 5: ten to one football team going against the hot state.
Speaker 5: Right now, everything I said plays USC comes in. They
Speaker 5: put org in now Orgy, we played football on Saturday
Speaker 5: and just pretended like the forward pass didn't exist. We played, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we we played how to win a game our defense,
Speaker 5: I mean guys with the run game and one and
Speaker 5: won the game. This Mullen Mullions Mullens kid. This kid
Speaker 5: started twenty games at linebacker for the University of Michigan,
Speaker 5: then popped on over to the offensive side of the
Speaker 5: ball and is now the featured back. I feel terrible
Speaker 5: for Donovan Edwards. I don't know, I don't know what's
Speaker 5: going on. I think he's an absolute stud. He's gonna
Speaker 5: be just fine. That being said, Mullens is the cat
Speaker 5: that's now toting the rock. Had that thing thirty times
Speaker 5: last game for one hundred and ffty nine yards. The
Speaker 5: kid is our offense right now. A couple that in
Speaker 5: with a little RPO with with Orgy. What we want Minnesota.
Speaker 5: We want to take that step. We want Orgy. I
Speaker 5: want to see Orgy in the air a little bit more.
Speaker 5: I want to see him showing some short to intermediate passes.
Speaker 5: You don't need to take top.
Speaker 2: Off, but this is where he's got to show some growth,
Speaker 2: right because you guys, number one, the defense smacked USC.
Speaker 5: In the mouth in the mouth.
Speaker 2: But talking real is you want to see Orgy make
Speaker 2: progress in the passing game, because even though you guys
Speaker 2: can win games running the ball and playing tough defense
Speaker 2: like you just did, when you go against the Organs
Speaker 2: of the world. Yeah, I mean, I'll go ahead, Illinois
Speaker 2: undefeated right now, but Oregon's Ohio States of the world,
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to Yeah, You're gonna have to be
Speaker 2: able to you it'd be insane not to believe that
Speaker 2: you're not going to be down by ten points at some.
Speaker 5: Point in the season, right And you have to have
Speaker 5: the ability to be multi dimensional to be able to
Speaker 5: push the ball down the field and score points. I
Speaker 5: completely understand that. I think everybody walked into that game
Speaker 5: with Michigan being four and a half point underdogs and
Speaker 5: expected a Texas Michigan game like USC oh for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I thought everyone felt that way, and I felt the
Speaker 5: haters feeling that way. Everyone was looking their chops. I
Speaker 5: know everybody in East Lansing was feeling so great Columbus Ohio.
Speaker 5: Everyone had that game turned on. I know everyone was ready.
Speaker 5: Not only was everyone was ready to put Michigan in
Speaker 5: the ground. They six feet under everyone.
Speaker 2: But also not it wasn't just the haterman, but also
Speaker 2: what you guys have shown up until the USC game
Speaker 2: was kind of like damn, Like, yeah, this is a
Speaker 2: massive fall right now what they're showing from what they're showing, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you win by ten points. It's like, damn, they might
Speaker 2: not have a squad this year because when Nick Marks
Speaker 2: was on, it's like, you know, we're going around and
Speaker 2: you're potentially thinking in your mind, this might be a
Speaker 2: five loss miss. They were right, and I know I
Speaker 2: know you, I know you weren't.
Speaker 5: To because his bitch ass opinions were terrible on the
Speaker 5: bus right like for him just but the the good
Speaker 5: thing about his old man as old man is out there,
Speaker 5: he was I want to believe what Taylor believes. I
Speaker 5: want that feeling. And it's like, brother, it's that easy.
Speaker 5: You just turn off logic in your head and you
Speaker 5: just move on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, turn off logic.
Speaker 5: That's what That's why I've learned being a fan of football.
Speaker 5: You can't You got to be able to find the
Speaker 5: will conference spin.
Speaker 2: You have to find the optimism right and right now
Speaker 2: in a world where everybody wants to feed into that
Speaker 2: hate and just be pessimistic about everything.
Speaker 5: Everything I've said about Michigan football post Tech is still
Speaker 5: in play. Nothing has changed, Nothing has changed. Ten and
Speaker 5: one football team. Believe. Jack McPherson between naps said that
Speaker 5: they're gonna have a hard time at Minnesota. That's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's a wild deal to me at the time, right
Speaker 5: it wasn't too much of a reach if you took
Speaker 5: a face value just Illinois plays Nebraska and Illinois beat Nebraska.
Speaker 5: You think Nebraska's in a lot of trouble. Face value
Speaker 5: right now, move on. Now you look at the bigger picture.
Speaker 5: Could be a Nebraska Michigan big than championship game, could be.
Speaker 2: It's far off, could be, you guys, you never know, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you never know.
Speaker 5: You guys upset Ohio State, Ohio State drops two of
Speaker 5: the three.
Speaker 2: Or cannot just cannot just escape by Indiana. Rutgers is
Speaker 2: also undefeated right now, Dave He's Rutgers is number two
Speaker 2: on Dave's Big Ten rankings.
Speaker 5: That's wild two or.
Speaker 2: Three, they're their top five.
Speaker 5: They've been around for a while, they've been around, they've
Speaker 5: been in the football.
Speaker 2: We all to say we can't just glaw over the
Speaker 2: Rutgers in Indiana game. Yeah, we just can't right now.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about Nebraska? Yeah, absolutely, you're saying we
Speaker 2: upset Ohio State. You're going, You're going like four weeks
Speaker 2: ahead right now.
Speaker 5: Yeah. You know, I'm a thirty thousand foot view fan
Speaker 5: of Nebraska, like I pretty honest. If I didn't know you,
Speaker 5: I would probably never think about the University of Nebraska
Speaker 5: once in my life. I know you, And now my
Speaker 5: algorithm's fucked up and it's only showing me Nebraska stuff.
Speaker 5: So Nebraska's constantly on my mind.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just look at it as a general fan,
Speaker 5: being like, that's the game you have to.
Speaker 2: Worry right, right, right right, because I looks bad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I still think of Indiana as lesser than I
Speaker 5: think of Rutgers is lesser than I think of Minnesota
Speaker 5: is lesser than And it's just I didn't have a
Speaker 5: whole lot of success in college football as far as
Speaker 5: the team sport goes. But we handled those teams right.
Speaker 5: They never played Rutgers first Big Ten game I ever
Speaker 5: played shootout against Indiana, win that game. Yeah, So that's
Speaker 5: all that's all I gotta say about that. Yeah, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's it's a war dude, you're The good thing is
Speaker 5: we're almost the half point of the cullege football war. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you're in a much better place this year than
Speaker 5: you were last year.
Speaker 2: The good thing is neither of our teams we are
Speaker 2: not even close to touching any panic button. You were guys,
Speaker 2: weren't after Texas. We are not after Illinois, right, a
Speaker 2: team that should be touching the panted button in my mind.
Speaker 2: We're moving to NFL right now. But the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 2: end up.
Speaker 5: This episode to bring you sport Clips this football season.
Speaker 5: Don't walk around with helmet hair like a total rookie.
Speaker 5: You've been in the game long enough to know that
Speaker 5: how you wear your hair matters. And just because your
Speaker 5: team's mascot as a Wolverine, yes it is, doesn't mean
Speaker 5: you have to look like the one on top. Keep
Speaker 5: your head in the game and go to sport Clips.
Speaker 5: They're pro. Their pro stylist have mastered the x's and
Speaker 5: o's of men's hair, so you can get a tight
Speaker 5: fade while kicking back and watching some fade routes on TV.
Speaker 5: It's called a hail mary, not a hair mary. Okay,
Speaker 5: so it don't go just anywhere head over to the
Speaker 5: pros and men's hair. They'll have a perfectly crafted game
Speaker 5: plan to make you look your best, no halftime adjustments.
Speaker 5: Need to remember the difference between an okay haircut and
Speaker 5: a great cut is called sport clips. It's a game changer.
Speaker 5: Let's get back to this episode.
Speaker 2: I think before the year started, you know, there was
Speaker 2: a people counted out Tennessee, which now it seems like
Speaker 2: they're being proved right. Yeah, there's a lot of there's
Speaker 2: some optimism, some some underappreciated unseen optimism going on because
Speaker 2: of either bringing these receivers, you got Bill Callahan. The
Speaker 2: mistake I made was assuming that Bill Callahan was just
Speaker 2: gonna come in and fix the offensive line, knowing that
Speaker 2: it's still a very young offensive line and there's going
Speaker 2: to be growing pains. I do feel like the way
Speaker 2: that Will levis. I mean, there was like six sacks
Speaker 2: given up today. My man was knocked down about eight times.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, here's the I'm not scared about the
Speaker 5: offensive line right now. They had a really bad second half,
Speaker 5: a really bad second half.
Speaker 2: But paint the picture of why you're not scared with
Speaker 2: the offensive line.
Speaker 5: Because I think they're there. They've showed glimpses of hope.
Speaker 5: They have done a good job for the most part
Speaker 5: of the run game in the past game, this game,
Speaker 5: you can throw this one out the window. They had
Speaker 5: some you had some very glaring mistakes by multiple players
Speaker 5: in the offense line. The one that comes to my
Speaker 5: head is, I mean, uh, Nicholas Petite Ferreir. He got
Speaker 5: a guy in a wide nine technique, he turns his
Speaker 5: shoulders and his hips. The guy makes an inside move clean,
Speaker 5: not even touchsack like, and I think they've been caused
Speaker 5: a fumble which caused a turnover, those types of things.
Speaker 5: If I'm Bill Callahan, if I'm Nick like, I'm sure
Speaker 5: Nick right now is probably on suicide watch it in
Speaker 5: his house because everyone's been there before. I've been there before.
Speaker 5: Every single offensive linement who's had a bad game knows that. Like,
Speaker 5: you don't have stats. The only stats you have are
Speaker 5: the things that are bad. And he had a tough
Speaker 5: one today statistically. But the errors are so easily fixable.
Speaker 5: It's so easy to fix one or two things. Hey,
Speaker 5: don't panic, set, don't turn your head.
Speaker 2: And when you say you're talking about technique.
Speaker 5: Technique, I'm only talking about technique, because that's what the
Speaker 5: offensive line is. That it's a mental game, it's a
Speaker 5: physical game, and it's a technique game. You have to
Speaker 5: be able to be really good at all three of
Speaker 5: those to be successful. The easiest thing to fix is technique.
Speaker 5: And I just hope that these boys don't take all like,
Speaker 5: don't let their confidence get shut down.
Speaker 2: In the outside noise field because it's flooding.
Speaker 5: In their flooding. And but that's the thing that last
Speaker 5: few years. The coach that we always talk about but
Speaker 5: refuse to say his name in the beginning, Keith Carter, like,
Speaker 5: there's there was never a chance to gather confidence unless
Speaker 5: you already had that instilled in you from prior success
Speaker 5: or you're just built like that kind of cat. Now
Speaker 5: what they have now, Callahan, you saw them in the
Speaker 5: first couple of games firing on more cylinders than they
Speaker 5: have been in the past, doing a great job of
Speaker 5: changing sets up, changing punches up, passing off games and slides.
Speaker 5: I think this is a great game for Bill Callen
Speaker 5: at show how good of a coach he is by
Speaker 5: establishing the confidence back in those guys that had a
Speaker 5: tough game and then working on the technique on the
Speaker 5: football field, because this that I saw from Nick and
Speaker 5: j C and those guys is like, it's so fixable.
Speaker 5: It's so fixable. There's one that JC had that.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, how how do you feel like
Speaker 2: you've been watching j C a little bit? How do
Speaker 2: you feel like he's been so far?
Speaker 5: I think, Jace, we have to remember he's a rookie.
Speaker 5: The kid's an absolute unit of a human being. But
Speaker 5: he there's just little there's little things that are so
Speaker 5: fixable that he will learn over time. I think the kid,
Speaker 5: from what I could tell, his a good head on
Speaker 5: his shoulders. But he had one today where the guy
Speaker 5: ran the hoop on him, ran all the way around
Speaker 5: and got the sack. And what jac did was he
Speaker 5: got to the point of no return where he thought
Speaker 5: he did his job, and as the guy ran around,
Speaker 5: he kind of stopped in the play. And that's when
Speaker 5: Will Levis got out of his sack from pressure in
Speaker 5: the middle, came forward, and then that guy finished. Those
Speaker 5: are the little things you realize, Okay, this isn't this
Speaker 5: isn't college. You've got to finish a lot longer than
Speaker 5: you expect to and keep going to the echo of
Speaker 5: the whistle. All those things fixable. None of those things
Speaker 5: are panting Button City. The things I did not like
Speaker 5: from the Titans today, like sums up with Will and
Speaker 5: we're we're very pro Will Lewis on the show, Well,
Speaker 5: I I love I love Will. Everything I'm saying is
Speaker 5: truly out of a just a critical eye. He's got
Speaker 5: the yips right now. He's forcing too much stuff. He's
Speaker 5: at he's he's putting the pressure of himself. He wants
Speaker 5: to prove he's the man instead of just being Like
Speaker 5: last year we saw him thrust into a starting role
Speaker 5: because of an injury. You played nothing to lose, you
Speaker 5: played house money. It's like, Okay, you're a rookie. No
Speaker 5: one expects you to do well. You weren't the start
Speaker 5: in the beginning of the year. There's zero expectation on
Speaker 5: you. You go out and you have a game, you get
Speaker 5: you did against the Falcons, and uh when in his
Speaker 5: first start he does say he does such a great job.
Speaker 5: He moves around the pocket, he doesn't lower his shoulder,
Speaker 5: It's like, oh shit, we kind of got a guy.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: We spend the whole entire offseason where like the only
Speaker 5: people that are excited are the people within Nashville, Tennessee.
Speaker 5: The the small regional fan base is so stoked on
Speaker 5: Will Levis. Part of me feels he listened to the
Speaker 5: cheers a little too hard, he got at excited now,
Speaker 5: or just.
Speaker 2: It feels that expectation puts the pressure on himself, right.
Speaker 5: And that's what I mean by feeling the cheers a
Speaker 5: little bit, because when you have a piece of success
Speaker 5: in the NFL and we've all had it and you
Speaker 5: kind of like chew on it for a little bit, Yo,
Speaker 5: this feels fucking nice that people think I'm the fucking man.
Speaker 5: Everybody loves that feeling.
Speaker 2: Or you feel like and or also you feel like
Speaker 2: you have to do that much more.
Speaker 5: Right, And I think that comes when the season ends
Speaker 5: with Will last year. You enjoy that success, you enjoy
Speaker 5: that confidence you've had, But once you get to that
Speaker 5: June or July slot, that's when you start to be like,
Speaker 5: I've got to prove X, Y and Z to to
Speaker 5: just take the next step to show that, oh it
Speaker 5: wasn't a fluke, I am the man. Now You're putting
Speaker 5: way too much pressure on yourself when before we all
Speaker 5: know this, you just gotta stay here. You can't be
Speaker 5: doing this, can't be doing that. You just gotta stay
Speaker 5: right here, baby and keep that thing moving. And I
Speaker 5: just feel like he's pressing the issue way, way, way
Speaker 5: too much. And if Will just took a minute, took
Speaker 5: a deep breath, realize he has all the talent, all
Speaker 5: the characteristics he came to be a good quarterback, then
Speaker 5: he goes and does that. But the mental game is
Speaker 5: very difficult sometimes, especially when things are going your way.
Speaker 5: When you're ohing three. Now, somebody tweeted this to me
Speaker 5: today or tweeted it and then put on Instagram said, uh,
Speaker 5: bring back Frabel, And it's like, bro, that shit's got
Speaker 5: to stop right now that I'm so sick of people
Speaker 5: pulling the fire alarm. In the first moment of chaos.
Speaker 5: You go and one, he it is what it is.
Speaker 5: You Two, it's like, okay, well you played the job. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and then owen three happens and now everyone's like, should
Speaker 5: it cat verbel Now, I will say this, and this
Speaker 5: is not a shot at Callahan, but if you have
Speaker 5: Mike Rabel as the head coach right now, it's likely
Speaker 5: that the Titans are two and one only reason why
Speaker 5: I'm saying that is Mike Rabile established a culture and
Speaker 5: he got guys with lesser talent to win games late
Speaker 5: in the game and do the right things. That does
Speaker 5: not mean that Brian Callahan is a bad coach. I
Speaker 5: think Brian call as the right man to have in
Speaker 5: this position, especially the way football is going right now.
Speaker 5: Derek Henry was getting older, you could just rely on
Speaker 5: the run twenty four to seven. You knew that train
Speaker 5: was going to end. It's like it's like selling a
Speaker 5: stock right before the peak. You're getting out, you're cashing out.
Speaker 5: I totally understand that we have to give Brian Callahan
Speaker 5: opportunity to instill his culture and his mindset of what
Speaker 5: he wants. These are not things that are just going
Speaker 5: to happen immediately day of like they're just going to
Speaker 5: keep the mic Rabel attitude and then add on whatever
Speaker 5: Brian wants. That stuff. It's unrealistic, it's illogical, and it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: So if you're a Titans finger like bring back Vrabel
Speaker 5: right now, your record would probably be better of a Vabel.
Speaker 5: But we're talking about long term ROI and I think
Speaker 5: Brian Callahan is that guy. You just got to give
Speaker 5: it some opportunity for him doing Still, Hey, if it's
Speaker 5: a shitty year, here's the good news. Get a great
Speaker 5: draft pick. Now, you had a quarterback that I know
Speaker 5: people are thinking, oh, maybe not. You had a quarterback
Speaker 5: with all the attributes to be successful.
Speaker 2: You got with the year in the system.
Speaker 5: You got two top fifteen picks on the left side
Speaker 5: of your offensive line. You got Dylan Raidens, who's playing
Speaker 5: a hell of a lot better. You got a center
Speaker 5: who has paid fifty million dollars in his good ballplayer.
Speaker 5: You got NFP who's going growing more.
Speaker 2: You got a nasty defense.
Speaker 5: You got a nasty defense. You got receivers, you got
Speaker 5: two great running backs. Like you have the tools, but
Speaker 5: you can have all the ingredients to make a pie.
Speaker 5: But if you don't, if you don't have if you
Speaker 5: don't have the right tools to make the pie, then
Speaker 5: it's it's gonna be a shit pie. Right, So we
Speaker 5: just got to give that time this year. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know what to say. They got.
Speaker 2: One of the good news is they play the Dolphins
Speaker 2: next week and the Dolphins. Dolphins have not been looking good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have either a home game or do they go
Speaker 2: to Indy.
Speaker 5: I think they go by and then they go to Indy.
Speaker 2: Okay, so they have a bye week pretty early by.
Speaker 5: That kind of sucks.
Speaker 2: But however, recently, especially if you get back on track
Speaker 2: with Miami, it's a massive game because again they the
Speaker 2: South is still pretty wide open. I mean the Texans
Speaker 2: loss to day to the Vikings. Who Vikings, by the way,
Speaker 2: am Donald bro and he is operated a resurgence of life. Yes,
Speaker 2: they can run the ball well, they can throw the
Speaker 2: ball well. That defense on their floor is is playing well.
Speaker 2: So the South is wide open. You have to get
Speaker 2: back on track and win this game against Miami, lick
Speaker 2: your wounds with the bye week, revaluate, and then you
Speaker 2: play Indy, which Indy isn't you know they have their
Speaker 2: own issues as well.
Speaker 5: They have their own issues, no doubt. And like yeah,
Speaker 5: with with Houston losing today, AFC South is wide open.
Speaker 5: And who did to say like, hey, we're going to
Speaker 5: go and win the AFC South. Now, it's like, listen,
Speaker 5: just improve on the errors. Let's just win the game.
Speaker 5: Let's just win a game. Let's win a game. Let's
Speaker 5: just win a game, and let's let's let's keep it
Speaker 5: moving forward. So for all the people, all the test
Speaker 5: Titan fans out there that are watching the show and
Speaker 5: are pressing the panic button. Polightly go fuck yourself for
Speaker 5: right now. I mean that a respectfully way, trying to
Speaker 5: be funny, but like it's stop because it's way too
Speaker 5: early and it's okay.
Speaker 2: New player's new staff like sta. Still yeah, it's still very.
Speaker 5: Like you know what, let's say it's worst case scenario. Great,
Speaker 5: we have the first overall pick, like and now you
Speaker 5: have more fools. It's just seventeen. Yeah, worst case. Let's
Speaker 5: just say, let's say so it.
Speaker 2: Was number one. We do need to Unfortunately we're not
Speaker 2: on the bus and we can't hold Jack accountable. Jack
Speaker 2: did say he would kill himself if Malik Willis won
Speaker 2: his revenge game in the sun Stadium.
Speaker 5: Did you say Jack needs to kill himself.
Speaker 2: I think there needs to be some type of accountability,
Speaker 2: whether maybe hey, maybe a couple of weeks ago when
Speaker 2: the guy said he would eat dog shit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe Jack does something.
Speaker 2: I think he needs to do something for some good juju,
Speaker 2: because if not, you know, it could put some bad
Speaker 2: a bad omen on the Titans.
Speaker 5: Because I think Jack in a lot of ways has
Speaker 5: kind of become a front man for the Titans fan
Speaker 5: base given the platform he has on busting brought back
Speaker 5: the pain train, brought back the pain train, yeah, all
Speaker 5: those things. He just seems like he has the loudest
Speaker 5: voice of all Titans fans, and I think he does.
Speaker 5: He Yeah, some account.
Speaker 2: If you're gonna leave from the front, you gotta leave
Speaker 2: from the front.
Speaker 5: Right exactly. So maybe there needs to be a punishment involved.
Speaker 5: I won't go as far to say you need to
Speaker 5: kill yourself, Jack, but let's figure.
Speaker 2: So I texted him right after. I said, I'll say
Speaker 2: some really nice words for you at your funeral.
Speaker 5: Yeah, do your eulogy. Yeah, dude, I mean Jack's gotta
Speaker 5: pay the piper a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need something out of Jack.
Speaker 5: What else?
Speaker 2: What else is going on in the NFL world? We
Speaker 2: got uh Jets look good Jets. Look damn.
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is back. And that's another thing too, When
Speaker 5: people are like he's done, it's like, what are you
Speaker 5: talking about? He's yeah, it's just still god so dumb.
Speaker 5: It's so dumb.
Speaker 2: Their defense was playing well. Now granted it was the Patriots,
Speaker 2: but they have the pieces on defense.
Speaker 5: The first game that's gotta feel good. That's gotta feel
Speaker 5: real good.
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers with Breise Hall, uh, Garrett Wilson, even
Speaker 2: Mike Williams. He returned from Uh they got him in
Speaker 2: free agency. He came from the Chargers, friend of the show. Uh,
Speaker 2: he looked good. So another weapon to go with him, lizard.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Jets, the Jets could be picking it up.
Speaker 5: Just got just got a little something going that fires
Speaker 5: me up because like, I don't know when the world
Speaker 5: became so fifty to fifty on Aaron Rodgers of like
Speaker 5: not liking him and liking him.
Speaker 2: I well, you know probably all the the political stuff
Speaker 2: that Aaron gets out there on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but who doesn't agree?
Speaker 2: No, I'm with you. But you know how you know
Speaker 2: how fans are. They want you to play, they want
Speaker 2: you to love your football.
Speaker 5: And throw yeah. Yeah. But the thing too is that here,
Speaker 5: here's what I like about Aaron Rodgers from out off off,
Speaker 5: outside of football. He questions things and it's super cure.
Speaker 5: Who who made it wrong to be curious about things?
Speaker 5: And se just stinking stuff a face value? I wish
Speaker 5: I was more like that. People will just tell me.
Speaker 5: I'll see it on Instagram, be like, yep, fact, it
Speaker 5: could be one way or the other, and I'll just
Speaker 5: look at you and be like, Yep, that's exactly gonna
Speaker 5: be the identity that I choose to project from me
Speaker 5: for the rest of the week. Aaron chooses to question
Speaker 5: all these things, and he's a. He's an admirable candidate.
Speaker 5: In my mind, I think he's a. He's a he's
Speaker 5: a cool, well rounded cat. I'm messed with it.
Speaker 2: I'm very well.
Speaker 5: Those a tight spiral, yeah, he does. Those are tight. One.
Speaker 2: We interrupt this episode to bring you body Armor. That
Speaker 2: is body Armor sport water, the alkaline water that provides
Speaker 2: real hydration with electrolytes for taste. Everybody is always drinking
Speaker 2: it around the office out here in Chicago HQ. These
Speaker 2: sports drink the Zero Sugar and even the Flash IV
Speaker 2: After a long weekend, we can't get enough of body armor.
Speaker 2: The sport water, in my opinion, is the best water
Speaker 2: on the market. Your boy just hit a five K
Speaker 2: the other day and body Armor sport water was what
Speaker 2: kept your boy hydrated. Head on over to your local
Speaker 2: seven to eleven and get your body Armor sport water Today.
Speaker 2: Back to the episode today, did you really yeah, walked
Speaker 2: the last night and something we glossed over that we
Speaker 2: didn't spend really any time on, but the genius that
Speaker 2: coach Lafleur has in Grey Bay. I mean, Malik willis
Speaker 2: winning games with Malik And I'm not saying like Malik's
Speaker 2: a terrible quarterback by any means, but I think everybody
Speaker 2: would assume that when they lost s Jordan Love, that
Speaker 2: they were gonna pop off too in a row and
Speaker 2: be flying around like they are, especially taking care of
Speaker 2: the football like he is, and building an offensive plan
Speaker 2: that fits him and adapting to the players he has
Speaker 2: on the roster. I feel like Lafleur, you know, whether
Speaker 2: he gets a lot of credit credit, I think he
Speaker 2: doesn't get enough credit because going to and O since
Speaker 2: losing Jordan Love, I feel like it's not especially because
Speaker 2: they got Malik, like what three weeks ago.
Speaker 5: Three years ago from the Titians, the team they just beat, right,
Speaker 5: which is another thing that is fucking blasphemous. What does
Speaker 5: Malik Willis do Will He.
Speaker 2: Runs, He runs the ball.
Speaker 5: He's not a guy that is going to like he
Speaker 5: at least from the time I was there, he was
Speaker 5: not a guy that the dissected the coverages and understood
Speaker 5: where his hot routes were and stuff like that, and
Speaker 5: where his you know, line was sliding to and moving to.
Speaker 5: So you have the blueprint of a guy that's been
Speaker 5: in your building for entire camp to see, Oh, we
Speaker 5: should trade this guy. This is why we're gonna trade
Speaker 5: this guy, and then you let that guy beat you.
Speaker 5: The defensive game plan to me was nuts. Yeah, just crazy,
Speaker 5: Like how Milikal is gonna hurt you because he's gonna
Speaker 5: hurt it by extending plays and using his feet. The
Speaker 5: fact that they have rushers going around him, no coordinated rushes,
Speaker 5: not a whole lot of spies, not running a whole
Speaker 5: lot of games. Like, to me, that was just insane
Speaker 5: because if you made him one dimensions, say hey, we're
Speaker 5: going to keep his cat in the pocket and make
Speaker 5: him throw the ball, it would have been a whole
Speaker 5: lot better. But when you're allowing him to run and
Speaker 5: do all the things he has now he's had the
Speaker 5: opportunity to throw these intermediate throws and he had a
Speaker 5: nice touch.
Speaker 2: Yeah he looked really good today, Yeah, bro, really good.
Speaker 2: That Like again, Lafleur having the creativity with the screen
Speaker 2: game building play action, like putting Malik in in positions
Speaker 2: to win and him taking advantage of the opportunity. Because
Speaker 2: again it's like, okay, when you see them beat Indianapolis
Speaker 2: last week, it was Malik's first game, so there's really
Speaker 2: not a whole lot to operate off of. You don't
Speaker 2: know what kind of game plan you're gonna get. You
Speaker 2: can assume that it's gonna be Malik. You know, them
Speaker 2: running the ball there plus times with Josh Jacobs, But
Speaker 2: going into Tennessee, it's like, now you have a week
Speaker 2: of film to kind of prepare, Like, no way they're
Speaker 2: going to get away with doing stuff like this again.
Speaker 2: But again, like just speaking to that creativity from Lafloor,
Speaker 2: I just feel like flowers need to be said and
Speaker 2: given as much as we want to critique and pull
Speaker 2: apart all the.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we were based in National, right, I'm glad
Speaker 5: you're rgmed me back in because you started with giving
Speaker 5: Matt flowers and then I just critique the Titans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're like the but also like, yeah.
Speaker 5: Dude, I mean Matt he was OC for one year
Speaker 5: at the Titans and he was so great, and the
Speaker 5: Packers are like, we got to have this guy, and
Speaker 5: he's proven to be the dude over and over again
Speaker 5: strategically using It's.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, Aaron Rodgers, of course they're going to be successful.
Speaker 2: Jordan Love, damn, they got lucky again. They found another one.
Speaker 2: But then Jordan Love goes Jordan Love goes down, and
Speaker 2: you got a backup in Milik who just showed up
Speaker 2: with a backpack on.
Speaker 5: And you think, you think yourself, like exactly what you said.
Speaker 5: The Colts go and they think they're going to run
Speaker 5: the ball thirty times, and then Malik has a has
Speaker 5: a good game and they end up on the game,
Speaker 5: and that's like that usually happens once, and then they
Speaker 5: start to get figured out because there's a week of
Speaker 5: film and you start to understand get strengths and weaknesses,
Speaker 5: kind of like how I view the Panthers right now,
Speaker 5: Like they come and they get their wine. It's a
Speaker 5: lot of time with a quarterback change or interim head coach,
Speaker 5: Like you fire a coach in the interim head coach
Speaker 5: ins comes in. Usually that team, for whatever reason, just
Speaker 5: wins the next week. I have no idea why the
Speaker 5: locker room just rallies around the back for whatever reason,
Speaker 5: and it's like the Panthers are still dead, Like it's
Speaker 5: just the no shot, It's not happening. Ye A Dalton, dude,
Speaker 5: I'm stoked for him, right.
Speaker 2: I can't believe the Raiders drop that one, man, I know,
Speaker 2: and they got handled too, which was surprising. They go
Speaker 2: across the country and get a massive win against the Ravens,
Speaker 2: big time underdogs. You think they're hosting Carolina. Carolina's now
Speaker 2: got to travel across the country and they just it
Speaker 2: seems like their organization is blowing up because they benched
Speaker 2: Bryce Young kind of out him. They go with Andy Dalton.
Speaker 2: Then they go in and drop one against the Panthers.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 2: You see Antonio Pierce after the game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a badass quote.
Speaker 2: Right bad. As the game went along, it seemed like
Speaker 2: guys started to make business decisions. We will make business
Speaker 2: decisions moving moving forward as well.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that sound the alarm. There should
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a panic button that you're
Speaker 2: saying something. That quote is a quote in week three
Speaker 2: of the NFL, you know what I mean? Usually you're thinking,
Speaker 2: usually you get something like that back half of the
Speaker 2: year if you're kind of out of it. We're gonna
Speaker 2: see who's really who really wants to play football, who
Speaker 2: really loves football? You know those speeches.
Speaker 5: If AP's about that business, someone's getting cut on Monday, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I better see per Adam Schefter someone getting cut from
Speaker 5: the Raiders. I better see that, right.
Speaker 2: And you know with AP too, like the way that
Speaker 2: kind of culture, that leadership is like, he wouldn't just
Speaker 2: say that unless they all kind of identify a player
Speaker 2: or two that they're that they're thinking about. They're like,
Speaker 2: we got to get this guy out.
Speaker 5: I wish I did a better double watching that game
Speaker 5: because I was. I was at the Titans game today. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like the first time in forever. But yeah, dude, it's
Speaker 5: You've gotta like the thought. It's just crazy to me
Speaker 5: that dudes do that make business decisions.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would love to know which, which player or two,
Speaker 2: however many whoever he's thinking about and watch that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Max would tell us, Yeah, Max would tell us who
Speaker 5: was it?
Speaker 2: Go check the all twenty two and then see a
Speaker 2: couple of these plays. Yeah, Because I mean if a
Speaker 2: coach is saying that now, again, I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's like this is bad news for the season or
Speaker 2: This is like they've identified. They're getting rid. They're getting
Speaker 2: rid of the poison in the locker room, and it
Speaker 2: will be beneficial. I'm sure it'll be beneficial.
Speaker 5: Sounds like he's gonna cut the grass and find the snakes, right,
Speaker 5: that's what he wants to do, because you can't be
Speaker 5: having that that that poison in the locker room. Bro,
Speaker 5: you can't be having dudes getting small groups talking ship. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's how losers work. Yeah, right, Alid with his quotes, Man,
Speaker 5: I'll give him that, Yeah, I will give him that
Speaker 5: stuff this. Yeah, dude, he just I hope that I
Speaker 5: want the Raiders to be successful so bad because I
Speaker 5: think that's such a great franchise and a dude like
Speaker 5: Max who's just a he'll.
Speaker 2: Just lays it on the line every Sunday, every Sunday,
Speaker 2: every day. And Bobby Splaine. I want to give some
Speaker 2: love to Bobby splay. Yeah he was playing with this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: dude plays with his hair on fire. Because I was
Speaker 2: watching their game. I was breaking down their game on
Speaker 2: the Old All twenty two last week. Then versus the
Speaker 2: Ravens and Old spleazy man. He plays like that, Yes,
Speaker 2: plays hard man plays put me on game.
Speaker 5: With this All twenty two, it's like watching the iPad.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, so NFL Plus pre no free shoutouts
Speaker 2: NFL Plus Premium, but you get on there. You can
Speaker 2: watch basically the coaches tape.
Speaker 1: You can watch the.
Speaker 2: Side angle, the back angle, and it's like watching film
Speaker 2: that I just started doing it last week and low
Speaker 2: key I'm kind of falling just falling in love with
Speaker 2: Really you just feel like you're back in the film
Speaker 2: and we're like actually breaking down situations. So do you have.
Speaker 5: On your phone?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh so you can just watch film, laptop whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can watch it.
Speaker 2: Like if I pull out my phone right now, we
Speaker 2: can watch the All twenty two.
Speaker 5: Did you see so talking about subscriptions and everything. Did
Speaker 5: you see the stat that came out about to watch
Speaker 5: every single NFL game this year, it's like your monthly
Speaker 5: bills like three hundred and nine dollars a month.
Speaker 2: No, they got me because the streams, the.
Speaker 5: Streams have finally got us the streaming era, because remember
Speaker 5: like it was like Netflix came out and it was
Speaker 5: like you get this, it's eight dollars a month and
Speaker 5: you get all these movies and they're like, well, we're
Speaker 5: gonna do it too, but we get these movies instead.
Speaker 2: And now it's like and you're thinking, okay for probably
Speaker 2: totally like thirty forty bucks, Like I'll just get these
Speaker 2: streaming services.
Speaker 5: Yeah, get rid of cable, Yeah, which we all did.
Speaker 5: I remember when you told me got rid of cable.
Speaker 5: I was thinking myself, yeah, but I don't want to
Speaker 5: watch cable. Literally, I think two weeks later I called.
Speaker 5: I was like, hey, shut it down, we're done here.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, now the door hitching the ass on
Speaker 5: the way.
Speaker 2: Now now they got us.
Speaker 5: Now we're fucking we gonna go to.
Speaker 2: Gotta have basically every streaming I know, because it's the platform,
Speaker 2: the Amazon, it's the peakcock because it feels like every
Speaker 2: platform some type of game. I know, even Netflix, GA
Speaker 2: got Thursday Night. This one's on Sunday, oh the holidays
Speaker 2: this year that it's gonna be on this platform Monday
Speaker 2: night football here.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, Hey, there's rumors out there about Netflix
Speaker 5: it might be doing that game. We'll do what Netflix
Speaker 5: has a game on Christmas? Did you say you might
Speaker 5: be doing that game? Yeah? What do you mean? Like
Speaker 5: there's like I'm on a short list right.
Speaker 2: Now of doing the game like color commentating, not color commenting.
Speaker 2: But Paul Sideline.
Speaker 5: Be got nice, right. I think it'd be kind of
Speaker 5: sick to do one game color commentating one game.
Speaker 2: I think he'd be great at it.
Speaker 5: I think so too. I mean, if Tom got three minute,
Speaker 5: three hundred mil like dot two, I'll do one game.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I like to check that out.
Speaker 2: You could call a game, especially if you're prepared. You're prepared,
Speaker 2: you can do yeah. Yeah, it's easy.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: You're like a dad. You're prepared. You can do anything
Speaker 5: you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just I know, my boy good.
Speaker 5: I mean, we did that little playoff thing.
Speaker 2: You had your ESPN debut, well not debut, you've been
Speaker 2: on it before, but you were at the desk.
Speaker 5: You first take. Yeah, the first take was the most
Speaker 5: intimidated thing, especially when you get on the monitor and
Speaker 5: you see the King himself, Stephen A.
Speaker 2: Smith right there. Yeah, and I just think, get up
Speaker 2: and first take.
Speaker 5: Ye there. Do we talk about that? No, because we've
Speaker 5: been a wave, bro. No, I saw you next week. No,
Speaker 5: we were what that was week one? Maybe we did, Yeah,
Speaker 5: we kind of maybe even talk about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we missed retired, you know, high.
Speaker 5: School I know, bro, that's got to be so sick.
Speaker 5: And the key of the city. Can I tell you something.
Speaker 5: I wish it was a key.
Speaker 2: It is no.
Speaker 5: I wish it was like an actual key and like
Speaker 5: a glass box, like one of those cool, like eighteen
Speaker 5: hundreds keys, like truly you know, but you.
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna do like even if you had just a
Speaker 2: true key. It's not like you're like I'm locking the
Speaker 2: door anywhere.
Speaker 5: I know. But I just kind of was hoping it
Speaker 5: would be a metal key, not your basic janitor key,
Speaker 5: but like an old school like yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 5: I think of British people like in London with the
Speaker 5: big gass keys, like that's what I was thinking of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's still dope.
Speaker 5: The symbolism of it all is sick.
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was crazy. Yeah, it was crazy,
Speaker 2: just because like I forget if I said this on
Speaker 2: last week's epso I don't think I did. But the
Speaker 2: place where we grew up, like bond Terre, Missouri. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and knowing that I did the ceremony on Friday night,
Speaker 2: I went to the RGFL, my community of football league
Speaker 2: that I grew up playing in on Saturday morning and Dave,
Speaker 2: the owner of that league. He was saying so a
Speaker 2: lot of nice things. I gave a little speech and
Speaker 2: everything like that, but just knowing to go back on
Speaker 2: that weekend and kind of have like a full circle moment,
Speaker 2: just knowing the place that we grow up. I was
Speaker 2: kind of telling the parents and the kids, like, we
Speaker 2: don't grow up close to an NFL team or a
Speaker 2: college team. We had the Rams that was over an
Speaker 2: hour away. You have the Miszoo Tigers, they're about three
Speaker 2: hours away out in Columbia. But you don't have direct
Speaker 2: access to athletes that you grow up watching on TV.
Speaker 2: Your inspiration comes from the guys you watch on TV
Speaker 2: and the varsity football team. Like I had a poster
Speaker 2: of Jeremy McDowell, who was our quarterback who went to
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety seven state championship. My parents won this poster,
Speaker 2: this frame poster at an auction. There's this photo where
Speaker 2: he's just he's in his paths and he's just holding
Speaker 2: the ball like his little individual photo.
Speaker 5: No shit.
Speaker 2: It hung up over my bed growing up.
Speaker 4: PJ.
Speaker 2: Jones was a linebacker. I wanted to play like because
Speaker 2: he had the records and everything else. But you grow
Speaker 2: up being inspired by the guys you watch on TV
Speaker 2: in the NFL obviously, and then the varsity football team,
Speaker 2: and to come all the way back your boys just
Speaker 2: turned thirty five, and to be speaking to the league
Speaker 2: that I grew up like playing on the same grass
Speaker 2: that they did, and getting the key to the city
Speaker 2: the jersey retired and all that stuff, and knowing that
Speaker 2: I am one of those guys that those kids look
Speaker 2: up to is a super cool thing that I definitely
Speaker 2: do not take for granted. And it was just a
Speaker 2: very cool, full circle moment for your boy, It really was.
Speaker 5: That's fucking awesome, dude.
Speaker 2: So if I went any longer here, little emotion could
Speaker 2: probably hit the little eyeballs, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can't have that, dude. There's nothing better than
Speaker 5: high school football, There's not. And for anybody to think differently, man, Like,
Speaker 5: I went to two different high schools and I cherished
Speaker 5: both of those, both of those high schools.
Speaker 2: You got to go back.
Speaker 5: You went back to the game this past day, and
Speaker 5: I actually want to ask you this question because a
Speaker 5: part of me like felt weird, Like even when I
Speaker 5: went to the Titans game today, I felt weird too.
Speaker 5: Because you think about like, you know, you watch TV
Speaker 5: and stuff like that, and you watch like high school
Speaker 5: football TV shows or whatever, and there's always like the
Speaker 5: guy who graduated five years ago still comes to all
Speaker 5: the games. Yeah, And even though like I'm thirty three
Speaker 5: years old and I have not been back in Arizona
Speaker 5: in so long, going out, I kind of felt like,
Speaker 5: you know, maybe someone was like, what are you doing? Yeah,
Speaker 5: And I shook it off because it was so cool
Speaker 5: to go on like the catch Shadows Falcons. They're three
Speaker 5: and zero right now and they're playing Boulder Creek, which
Speaker 5: was like a division above them, and they smacked the
Speaker 5: shit out of them. Actually, it was like they they
Speaker 5: were tied at fourteen when I got there, and they're
Speaker 5: up three scores by like halfway through the third. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And it's like it's cool, man, because you literally look
Speaker 5: at the field that they're playing on and you look
Speaker 5: at the stands, and even though things are the same,
Speaker 5: it's like I did like put my my journey started
Speaker 5: and the same place that these kids are starting right
Speaker 5: now that I'm literally twice twice of some of their ages,
Speaker 5: and it's just cool to like see them look over
Speaker 5: and tap somebody's shoulder and be like yeah, And that
Speaker 5: to me was like I was like, that is so
Speaker 5: it's just surreal. So like we we had this conversation.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I talked about it, but October eighteenth,
Speaker 5: I'm being put in the Catch Shitas Hall of Fame,
Speaker 5: first home first guy ever in Catch Shittas Hall Fame,
Speaker 5: by the way, first inductee, and I believe his name
Speaker 5: is Rob Gilmore. I need to double check his name
Speaker 5: on my phone. But he like reached out to me
Speaker 5: and told me I met him for the first time
Speaker 5: and they're doing like this parade on Friday morning, and
Speaker 5: he's like, hey, if you can get there, we'd love
Speaker 5: for you to be like, uh, oh, what's it cold?
Speaker 5: What's it called? What's the thing called? When you're like, uh,
Speaker 5: Homecoming King, No, it's like, uh, you're gonna get the
Speaker 5: Grand Marshall Grand Marshal of like their float or whatever. Yea,
Speaker 5: And he asked me to know. I'm thinking to myself, yeah,
Speaker 5: they'd be sick, but also probably is like these kids
Speaker 5: are gonna be looking like a thirty three year old
Speaker 5: waving like that's kind of dude. I know, I know,
Speaker 5: I know, I know, I know, like everything you're saying
Speaker 5: about to say, like trust me. I had to have
Speaker 5: that conversation with myself because for whatever reason, it's not ego.
Speaker 5: It's like a it's it's almost like you just hey,
Speaker 5: I just don't want to be too much the center
Speaker 5: of attention, even though you guys are technically celebrating me.
Speaker 2: It is weird because you go back to a familiar
Speaker 2: spot and while they like, while I'm watching the game,
Speaker 2: I see a lot of familiar faces, like guys people
Speaker 2: I went to school with, and they're coming up and like, hey,
Speaker 2: my son, he wants a photo with you, And there's
Speaker 2: a there's a there's a weird part because it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, you know those people that you went to
Speaker 2: school with, and they're you know, they're there, and I
Speaker 2: feel like it's just like an internal like insecurity thing
Speaker 2: of just feeling like it's you're too much of the
Speaker 2: center of attention around people that you you knew very well.
Speaker 5: At one point, you almost play the mind game of
Speaker 5: like what are they talking shit? Like are they being
Speaker 5: like look at them? Yeah, you know, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's really cool though, bro, Yeah, it's it's sick because again,
Speaker 2: if if I'm a kid bro like, I would be
Speaker 2: looking up to you just as well. Like I want
Speaker 2: to accomplish. I want to be the same person like
Speaker 2: he did it. I want to be another guy who
Speaker 2: did it. Not a lot of people get to do it.
Speaker 2: I want to do that. Like you're an inspiration, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, You're a motivation.
Speaker 5: No, it's crazy, it's a wild deal. And like you
Speaker 5: going back like he's you already got inducted the Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame. You've been there, done that.
Speaker 2: That's conceal.
Speaker 5: And but now you're like the Jersey retirement the key
Speaker 5: to all that. It's like you've essentially reached the pinnacle
Speaker 5: of success of every high schooler. Like that is unbelievable
Speaker 5: because everybody wants the gold jacket right everywhere and everyone three.
Speaker 2: Years we'll see where I'm all, you know, eligible for.
Speaker 5: The right right right. But and then everybody obviously college
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, all that stuff they want to remember
Speaker 5: with their college. But like high school, you do it.
Speaker 5: There's nothing better than high school.
Speaker 2: That's because high school it's like that's when it's at
Speaker 2: it's purest for right of football, of sports.
Speaker 5: Yeah. People the boys legit just playing ball, yeah, and
Speaker 5: shadows their fans, their stands were packed, just shut down.
Speaker 2: You guys got a high school that loves their high
Speaker 2: school for yeah.
Speaker 5: And it's just it was just really cool and I'm
Speaker 5: super grateful for it. I'm stoked for you. Like that
Speaker 5: was that. It's just like it's just dope. It's awesome,
Speaker 5: and I gotta I gotta shake off whatever that, you know.
Speaker 5: And I tell you what was weird, too, is all
Speaker 5: these little kids running around they're in high school. Cause
Speaker 5: you like I was with Nick Bennett, who were talking
Speaker 5: about earlier, and Nick he was to catch the shots
Speaker 5: with me too, and he's like, bro, you know what's crazy.
Speaker 5: He's like all these kids walking around, like how young
Speaker 5: they look. And it's like it's be crazy for you
Speaker 5: and me to think that we didn't look that young
Speaker 5: either when.
Speaker 2: We were that kid. You're like, man, some girl came
Speaker 2: slow back. When I played, it felt like it was
Speaker 2: just bullets flying everybody, bullets flying, and they do they
Speaker 2: look so much younger. It's like, there's we you felt
Speaker 2: like you were like a man as a senior.
Speaker 5: In right, Like I just even walking through the stands
Speaker 5: and like the kids student section. I just to myself,
Speaker 5: I was like, I shouldn't be in this area, like
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm gonna catch a case, like you know,
Speaker 5: just being too close, and it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 5: just it felt so weird, like oh, year old, bro,
Speaker 5: that's what you are. You're just you're just an old
Speaker 5: guy now and you come back and we live the
Speaker 5: glory days. What's funny too, is that catch shadows. I
Speaker 5: was ass I was actually terrible with football there that
Speaker 5: the first the first chef Jepar was my second. That's
Speaker 5: when I had like that crazy in same three months
Speaker 5: or whatever or three weeks and uh but yeah, I
Speaker 5: was like not even good shadows. I was never the
Speaker 5: best player on my football team.
Speaker 2: Right, you're on the D line, you're on the wrong
Speaker 2: side of line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously there was some some some issue.
Speaker 5: Shut out Chad to gren here for fucking everything up.
Speaker 5: But still, bro, it's just it's crazy to go and
Speaker 5: like see like you're talking to the parents and you're
Speaker 5: sitting in a place where you're like I used to
Speaker 5: talk to those kids, like I used to be hanging
Speaker 5: out with them. Now I'm at a place where I'm
Speaker 5: talking to the parents and I identify more with the
Speaker 5: parents obviously, and it's just crazy. Yeah, you know everybody
Speaker 5: wants to be McConaughey from days and confused. I couldn't
Speaker 5: do it. I couldn't do it man for me?
Speaker 1: What uh?
Speaker 5: How much time we've been rocking here?

Speaker 5: been shit. This year, this is the year it changes
Speaker 5: for us.
Speaker 2: It's our year.
Speaker 5: It's our year. And here's what I will. I know
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a great year. And let me tell
Speaker 5: you why. When we go to Oregon for organ O
Speaker 5: House State, we get there on Friday, We're gonna go
Speaker 5: to a haunted house in Oregon. We've got you say,

Speaker 5: I'm gonna give you the ground rules for Spootober. October
Speaker 5: is now Spootober like it's October.
Speaker 2: It's not negotiable.
Speaker 5: It's a spook you call it Spooktober. Every day you
Speaker 5: need to watch something spooky. Now, it could be a
Speaker 5: something as simple as a Disney Channel original movie. You
Speaker 5: could literally jump all the way up to the Exorcism
Speaker 5: or a demonic type shit everything in between. And you're
Speaker 5: probably thinking, like some of these movies like uh, not insidious,
Speaker 5: but like Shutter Island not considered a horror movie, but
Speaker 5: there's got some spook to it too. Leonardo Dicapri counts
Speaker 5: that counts. And you don't for the whole time, but
Speaker 5: maybe a little, a nice little snippet.
Speaker 2: And again, you can even hit your Charlie Brown's of
Speaker 2: the world. You don't have to just scare yourself.
Speaker 5: Yes, And if we were living back in the world
Speaker 5: for Arizona, it was thirty five and thirty seven Disney Channel, Nickelodeon.
Speaker 5: They have a nice themed cartoons going on at all
Speaker 5: times that are all Spootober, which is really nice. Another
Speaker 5: thing too, and this is this is more for you
Speaker 5: than it is for us. Take some time out of
Speaker 5: your week to enjoy something fall to let you. And
Speaker 5: it's not about this. Spootober is not about checking boxes.
Speaker 5: It's about making memories to look forward to for the
Speaker 5: next year. It's about going to a pumpkin patch and
Speaker 5: being like, I had a great time going with my
Speaker 5: girlfriend and wife kids to the pumpkin patch. I can't
Speaker 5: wait to do it again next year. I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: that pumpkin spice latte. I know I shouldn't. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of sugar in there. There's a lot of X,
Speaker 5: Y and Z. I'm on a diet, but you know what, dude,
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to this and I'm only gonna have
Speaker 5: it during space.
Speaker 2: Just once a week. You got to embrace the spook somehow.
Speaker 2: Once a week, whether like you're saying, go into a
Speaker 2: haunted house, going to a pumpkin patch, buying yourself a
Speaker 2: pumpkin spice latte, incredible, whatever it is. Indulge in something
Speaker 2: that embraces the festivities that are Spooketober.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're on Washington.
Speaker 2: And then also throw a little decoration. That's rule number four.
Speaker 2: Gotta have decoration, a little decoration. I gotta hold myself accountable.
Speaker 5: You need to go what you do last year.
Speaker 2: I had pumpkins last year. So if you just which
Speaker 2: is all you need. But as somebody who's gonna stand
Speaker 2: on the front lines with my boy, you're right, I
Speaker 2: have to hold myself accountable. I have to hold myself
Speaker 2: to a higher standard. But all that being said, rule
Speaker 2: number four, throw some decoration up somewhere in the house.
Speaker 5: So throw some decorations in the house, dude. That is
Speaker 5: and literally it's about just the start of the holiday season.
Speaker 5: It's the first kickoff because before you know what, boys
Speaker 5: and girls, you're gonna blink and San is gonna be
Speaker 5: at your house.
Speaker 2: Please do not skip over Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5: I know I said you're gonna blink. That's what getting
Speaker 5: you towards the end. Yeah, but Thanksgivings, fire, Thanksgiving, it's time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So dude, we need to figure out a shirt too
Speaker 2: for Spectober.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we've had some bangers though in the last
Speaker 2: few years.
Speaker 5: I think I packed one. I think I packed when
Speaker 5: we were coming out of Chicago. But yeah, dude, fun
Speaker 5: pod got nostalgic talk, some ball, got to get back
Speaker 5: into the the my conversation in my head of do

Speaker 1: they said.
Speaker 5: I'm honest.
Speaker 7: Oh well, oh you think Trickles is any any any
Speaker 7: lower than about the bunnies. I don't think they're listening
Speaker 7: to to podcasts from bas and Win.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, so let me just let me let me phrase this.
Speaker 1: You're cute.
Speaker 5: When I was at Michigan, there was like the puck
Speaker 5: bunny thing was so real, Like there was just a
Speaker 5: group of girls that were just all about the hockey boys.
Speaker 5: Was that for like that for y'all like coming up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it wasn't uh in junior where I played,
Speaker 1: it wasn't crazy. I think if you played for like
Speaker 1: the London nights and you're in you're living in London, Ontario,
Speaker 1: where Western University is. It would have been crazy Witt
Speaker 1: went to college. Well maybe it was a little different
Speaker 1: in college, but fuck man, in junior we had like
Speaker 1: curfew and shit, we weren't even allowed to go to
Speaker 1: bars like what and especially when I was playing in
Speaker 1: Saga in Michigan, drinking age was twenty one like I was.
Speaker 1: I was seventeen eighteen and then turned nineteen and then
Speaker 1: I was off to Owen Sound and Buddy, their Owen
Speaker 1: Sound is not where you go to meet women. I'll
Speaker 1: just put it that way.
Speaker 5: Owen Sound does not.
Speaker 4: There was obviously like football girls, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I feel like there's just like different types,
Speaker 5: like how I feel like football.
Speaker 7: Hockey games are better in port. Hockey's better in sport
Speaker 7: to witness and watch than football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if we're going to change the subjects to that,
Speaker 5: I agree, yeah.
Speaker 1: Agree, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Maybe these girls enjoy like the live actual hockey.
Speaker 5: Was more enjoyable to watch, and they'd be crushing it
Speaker 5: if the NFL said no, no, hockey is more more fun
Speaker 5: to watch in person. Football is better to watch. Football
Speaker 5: is built for TV.
Speaker 1: I can't. That's all me.
Speaker 4: I went to a couple of.
Speaker 1: It's brutal. Hey, they're brutal, brutal, there's so much better
Speaker 1: and that's why it is what it is.
Speaker 4: Okay, tell me this. There's five million timeouts.
Speaker 7: I get it all the TV dough there's very rarely
Speaker 7: in the NFL like good games.
Speaker 1: They're all blowouts.
Speaker 7: It feels like so at least on TV, you're just
Speaker 7: clicking around, you're watching other games. When you're at a
Speaker 7: game that there's five million timeouts and it's a blow out,
Speaker 7: it's like, this is not good, brutal.
Speaker 5: It's not a terrible take. It really isn't.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly it's all that matters. Well, that's why it
Speaker 1: makes so much money. Hockey does not transfer over on
Speaker 1: television nearly as well as it is in person. It's
Speaker 1: it's like, it's not.
Speaker 2: Even a reason for that.
Speaker 1: You think, well, they've tried to experiment with different camera
Speaker 1: angles and stuff, and I just it just doesn't work.
Speaker 1: You got to keep the original kind of pain at
Speaker 1: a certain level. And like in the NFL, you guys
Speaker 1: have those zip lines above so it's almost like you're
Speaker 1: in the huddle and then it zips out and then
Speaker 1: you're seeing it's crazy the technology and how they're able
Speaker 1: to do it. Hockey, they just they they haven't found
Speaker 1: a way. They've spent money, they've they've had universities do trials,
Speaker 1: and it's too it's because of the speed of the
Speaker 1: game and the constant movement. It's too much for the viewer.
Speaker 1: It almost like confuses them to the point where they're like,
Speaker 1: I got a fucking headache watching this. Like even with
Speaker 1: they started doing the behind the netcam on the power
Speaker 1: play and they would go and they would kind of
Speaker 1: just rotate it, and even people complained about that. I
Speaker 1: didn't mind that angle, but uh, it just uh it's
Speaker 1: I mean, hockey's gonna keep doing growing and being better
Speaker 1: in the States. I just think that it doesn't transfer
Speaker 1: over quite the bite that the NFL has.
Speaker 5: Has the NHL ever experimented with like a like a
Speaker 5: skycam where they have it like trail behind and then
Speaker 5: have maybe like two cameras on both sides so they
Speaker 5: can follow.
Speaker 7: There is something like that now where a camera rips
Speaker 7: along the above the glass, and I think I think
Speaker 7: it's it's it's pretty good actually, but the biggest thing
Speaker 7: would be NFL is so like that. The hits and
Speaker 7: how fast these guys are, it's incredible, and the cameras
Speaker 7: right down on the field.
Speaker 4: You see the replays that.
Speaker 7: They got the full spree speed replays where you hear
Speaker 7: the crashes hockey. Because of the boards on TV, you
Speaker 7: don't see how fast they're going. But that's why if
Speaker 7: people go sit front row, like my father in law
Speaker 7: got tickets now behind the Bruins net and he's like,
Speaker 7: I cannot believe the speed and the size of these guys,
Speaker 7: But on TV it doesn't show. So that's why in person,
Speaker 7: I mean, I think the boards aspect is the biggest
Speaker 7: thing you can't get right there, like those cameras on.
Speaker 1: The field in the NFL.
Speaker 7: But it's but hockey's in a great spot. But I
Speaker 7: was gonna say about football I saw today. I think
Speaker 7: Dante Barstol did a blog about the product being bad.
Speaker 7: But how the numbers are their their skyrocketing still the
Speaker 7: NFL and they worship It's crazy.
Speaker 5: It's become like a show. It's like the TV is
Speaker 5: like an event. Hockey is just here when you watch,
Speaker 5: but hockey on games like you don't really get a
Speaker 5: full understanding of how fast everyone's going. No, you just
Speaker 5: kind of see, like you said, the lens where it
Speaker 5: goes back and forth. Football. I feel like when you
Speaker 5: watch it on TV, it looks so much faster than
Speaker 5: when you view it in person. I was at the
Speaker 5: Titans game this past weekend and I was sitting up
Speaker 5: in this suite looking down, and it was like everyone's
Speaker 5: trying to just it didn't seem like crazy fast to me.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, and if you're sitting up high in an
Speaker 7: NHL arena, it's definitely similar to that where you can't
Speaker 7: tell like the physicality and the speed, but you're still
Speaker 7: seeing plays developed that you can't on TV watching hockey,
Speaker 7: and it's just.
Speaker 4: In person the best sport for me. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually prefer watching it, like as a former player.
Speaker 1: I like watching it from up top because I like
Speaker 1: seeing it all develop, Like I don't need to be
Speaker 1: on the glass from like a viewership perspective. I kind
Speaker 1: of like being up top. No, I love it.
Speaker 7: And will would you say if you sat up high
Speaker 7: in an NFL stadium where the coordinators are, would you
Speaker 7: see plays developed? Would you realize right away when a
Speaker 7: guy missed assignment or like do you know you know
Speaker 7: what I mean? In the game, Is it like hockey
Speaker 7: where you can see all how a breakaway happens?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you time, we're still pretty good. Like even
Speaker 2: if you're on the front ruck, I still feel like
Speaker 2: you're a good distance to wait where you're kind of
Speaker 2: seeing the entire formation.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I.
Speaker 5: Don't think like not like not a whole lot. I guess, well,
Speaker 5: I disagree with that. When we went and did the
Speaker 5: spring give an ASU, is so hard for me to
Speaker 5: tell who was who and what was going on. I
Speaker 5: couldn't see the far side of the field. But when
Speaker 5: I was up there at that game this weekend, you
Speaker 5: see the formations. You see her protection breaks down. That's fair.
Speaker 5: You see like people hitting gaps and stuff like that, Like, oh,
Speaker 5: you could see that all the running back missed the
Speaker 5: gap there, right, This guy.
Speaker 7: He happened really like right before it happens almost yeah,
Speaker 7: like up top you see it in hockey at least
Speaker 7: you see a pucket rimmed around. You see two guys
Speaker 7: take off, and you're like, dude, if this pucket's by
Speaker 7: this defense and it's pension, these guys are gone because
Speaker 7: you've already seen him from up top, go do you
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying kind of.
Speaker 5: Like what you're saying to me is but like being
Speaker 5: a casual fan of hockey, the development of place, to me,
Speaker 5: it looks like just five guys holding the zone the
Speaker 5: entire time, and you're like you're kind of just watching
Speaker 5: guys kind of together. You really see it in power play,
Speaker 5: like with the four how they kind of rotate, like
Speaker 5: I think that's fascinating. But when it's five on five,
Speaker 5: to me, it just seems like now they're duking out.
Speaker 5: The two defensemen are just kind of chilling back there
Speaker 5: kind of hey, don't let you get past the blue line.
Speaker 5: And that's really it. But you guys actually do guys
Speaker 5: actually have plays like Tochi yelling I run twister.
Speaker 7: There's face off plays, but there's like when you're on
Speaker 7: the ice, you're just like talking to your line mates
Speaker 7: and you're talking on the bench like go here next time,
Speaker 7: and you're all like it's like knowing what you're gonna
Speaker 7: do before you do it. There's not like plays I
Speaker 7: think you kind of like there's systems in a sense
Speaker 7: of like how you play in structure and how you
Speaker 7: pressure teams in the neutral zone.
Speaker 1: I would say it's evolved to where it's it's like
Speaker 1: it's very it's a lot more in depth now than
Speaker 1: it was like fifteen years ago, just because of the
Speaker 1: amount of video, the amount of coaches like talk talks
Speaker 1: about like their neutral neutral zone four check and little
Speaker 1: thing like that, like a power play zone entry where
Speaker 1: you might have a couple different options of how you like,
Speaker 1: like you go up ice get control. Yeah, so there, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's not as much as you think because it's such
Speaker 1: a reactionary sport, but in controlled settings, like for instance,
Speaker 1: a controlled breakout, like you said, off of a face off.
Speaker 1: So there's certain situations of the game you can control,
Speaker 1: and you gotta like practice the practice those in training camp,
Speaker 1: like you would run plays like.
Speaker 5: What's a control breakout? I mean, because I'm thinking to myself.
Speaker 7: Like, so so you stay defense is behind the net,
Speaker 7: and the center swings down and he either picks up
Speaker 7: the puck or he goes. The other team has kind
Speaker 7: of sat back. Once you get control behind the net,
Speaker 7: they're just gonna be like, all right, we have a
Speaker 7: set four check, right, you know how to combat what
Speaker 7: they're doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if like the center swings the defensive side
Speaker 1: of the coach like on the defensive team, he'll say,
Speaker 1: swing with that centerman. Some of them might say, like
Speaker 1: all of you five guys stand in the neutral zone
Speaker 1: and just kind of let them have it up there
Speaker 1: and then try to come up the ice. So it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's constantly evolving, and then like game to game, you're
Speaker 1: getting a video breakdown of their power play, their penalty
Speaker 1: kill and these types of situations what they might do
Speaker 1: off face off, face off plays, their control breakout, their
Speaker 1: zone entry on a power play. So you kind of
Speaker 1: get that five to eight minutes of video in the
Speaker 1: morning of the day of a game. But the thing
Speaker 1: that's hard about hockey is you're playing, you know, thirty
Speaker 1: one other teams, so you.
Speaker 4: Have to do different systems.
Speaker 1: So you have to have a team who kind of
Speaker 1: is easily able to adapt, like has hockey smarts and saying, okay,
Speaker 1: today we're not doing the same four check we were
Speaker 1: last night on the control breakout because maybe that centerman
Speaker 1: who swung for the offensive team went behind the neck,
Speaker 1: grabbed the puck and it's fucking caprice off where he
Speaker 1: can actually go end to end by himself. So it
Speaker 1: is just like coaching is so fucking important nowadays just
Speaker 1: because of how good the league's gotten and all these
Speaker 1: miny details that you have to teach your players and
Speaker 1: then keep them reminded of as it goes.
Speaker 7: In football, do you base team to team change your defense?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, depending on the system that the offense is running
Speaker 2: or defense.
Speaker 7: So would there be a game obviously it's different for
Speaker 7: offensive line as a defensive player, would there be a
Speaker 7: game you're playing a certain defense where you're not like
Speaker 7: in because it's that defense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't play that one, right, So you have
Speaker 2: like bigger personnel and lighter personnel, or its like you're
Speaker 2: in twenty one personnel which is two running backs and
Speaker 2: one tight end, or twelve personnel or thirteen personnel, like
Speaker 2: those are bigger body personnels to where they're running at
Speaker 2: least double tight end. So you play more of a
Speaker 2: base package too that have bigger bodies in their three
Speaker 2: four linebackers. There's a lot of teams now just playing
Speaker 2: with two linebackers. But then when it gets lighter in
Speaker 2: the box. So you see with the Chiefs when they
Speaker 2: spread it out, they're three wide, So thirteen personnel eleven
Speaker 2: or my fault, not thirteen eleven personnel, ten personnel.
Speaker 5: When they're breaking out with a lot more receiving more.
Speaker 2: Then you need more speed, more speed, so you swap
Speaker 2: out a back or with a nickel, you swap out
Speaker 2: a back or with a dime.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, like that's why I view football is
Speaker 5: like there's always a break, and it's like, all right,
Speaker 5: someone won a battle here, Now what are we gonna
Speaker 5: put on the field to best combat each right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: And everything situational.
Speaker 2: So like any given week, you're starting off and you're
Speaker 2: breaking down the running game like first and ten, their
Speaker 2: play action off the run game, their first and ten
Speaker 2: or second ten passes. Then as you get later in
Speaker 2: the week, you're breaking down third down, and not just
Speaker 2: third down, but third down from what do they do
Speaker 2: from at third and one? Does this team combine one
Speaker 2: to three? Will they call any play? Will they just
Speaker 2: have a couple go to plays in third and one?
Speaker 2: So it's third one, third and two to three, third
Speaker 2: and four to seven and third and eight plus Yeah,
Speaker 2: from all different situations.
Speaker 1: How much time are you consuming a video setting up
Speaker 1: for that next week?
Speaker 5: Way more than you on the field, Like hours and hours,
Speaker 5: Like you're if on Wednesday, if you go in the
Speaker 5: building your first meetings at seven am, you're watching film
Speaker 5: and either with your offense team or in your into
Speaker 5: like your individual line or linebackers, and then you go
Speaker 5: to practice and then.
Speaker 7: Watch video seven till eleven. I'm not falling asleep, no.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, yeah, you you deal with that all the time.
Speaker 5: But that's like, that's that's rookie ship, like you, that's professional. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the first time you you kind of start to doze off, Hey,
Speaker 5: stand up, if you're having a problem, have a coffee
Speaker 5: or whatever. That it's like that's the grind of the season.
Speaker 5: It's not necessarily the practices of the games. Like that
Speaker 5: does wear on you eventually, but like it's the constant
Speaker 5: every day and the redundancy of Like Wednesday is the
Speaker 5: first install, so you're doing, uh, your base packages, the
Speaker 5: meat and potatoes of what we're gonna do in this game.
Speaker 5: And then the next day you focus more on third
Speaker 5: down and everything in the red zone and yeah, red
Speaker 5: red zone. And then Friday you go through like your
Speaker 5: two minute calls, which is usually numbered one through ten,
Speaker 5: and one will tell you everything. Odd numbers are usually
Speaker 5: sliding to the right. Even numbers are signed to the left.
Speaker 5: Oh god, if you if you go down hundreds, No,
Speaker 5: it's but it's dude, it's so easy because there's probably
Speaker 5: twenty for real football players, twenty football players in football,
Speaker 5: and I'm I could be totally off with the number.
Speaker 5: But they're all like, yeah, I don't know, Yeah, there's
Speaker 5: total Yeah, but I'm saying, like, if you looked at
Speaker 5: like there's the different variations place runs and bass pass concepts,
Speaker 5: there's there's only a finite amount. So let's just say
Speaker 5: it's twenty. But on top of that, there's like fifty
Speaker 5: different wrinkles to each play. How you're going to motion,
Speaker 5: where guys line up, and then you're obviously playing the
Speaker 5: other side too, how do they play off its? Are
Speaker 5: they penetrators or are they two gappers? So now you're thinking
Speaker 5: how you're getting your combination blocks differently. These corners play
Speaker 5: press like we were talking earlier with blitzes, Like you're like, oh,
Speaker 5: if you're if you're a left tackle and you see
Speaker 5: a guy coming off the edge, what do you do.
Speaker 5: It's like, well, is it my assignment to get that
Speaker 5: guy or is it my assignment to take this guy
Speaker 5: I have on me, and if it is, I usually
Speaker 5: would take the team like all the stuff. When like
Speaker 5: we're as a team together, they would kind of give
Speaker 5: me their tendencies and game plans as a whole, and
Speaker 5: then on my own time when I get home, I
Speaker 5: would evaluate the individual player that most of my most
Speaker 5: of my matchup is that, which I'm sure Like if
Speaker 5: you're playing the Saints and you're like, god forbid, it's
Speaker 5: second down, you have to go out with Alvin Kamara, Right,
Speaker 5: you're watching every option round album.
Speaker 2: Yeah, from your guys standpoint, you're you're you're realizing, like,
Speaker 2: all right, do they play more of a two shell
Speaker 2: defense or are they a big heavy cover three defense
Speaker 2: this week? What do they do when you got them
Speaker 2: in a situation and we motion them out to empty?
Speaker 2: How do they adjust an empty? Does the linebacker like
Speaker 2: I prefer check, we're at to stay and get there's
Speaker 2: the line?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Does the linebacker stand the podcast?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 5: But like you when you guys are saying, when you
Speaker 5: guys are saying centers coming for check, stay in the
Speaker 5: gray zone and they come on up or whatever the zone?
Speaker 1: How many how many of your listeners.
Speaker 4: The zone forever, now forever?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 1: How many.
Speaker 5: Area turnovers?
Speaker 1: Right? How many of your listeners like appreciate you guys
Speaker 1: get the weeds on the football talk or do you
Speaker 1: think not a lot of them understand that the same question.
Speaker 4: That's the same thing two hours ago.
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally when we were.
Speaker 2: You were legit there when we asked was about to.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we start getting in the weeds and like we'll
Speaker 1: get one.
Speaker 4: Hockey people like, yeah, they're.
Speaker 1: Like, we don't give a fuck, tell us a kill story.
Speaker 1: I'm sure people they appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Football we kind of got in the weeds a little
Speaker 5: bit even in the intro. But let me ask you this,
Speaker 5: like playoffs, if you're playing a team possibly seven times,
Speaker 5: how redundant does that get?
Speaker 1: Not? Really?
Speaker 7: Because the playoffs are so like incredible to be a
Speaker 7: part of. You're so fired up for every game and
Speaker 7: excited to go over the game tape and if you win,
Speaker 7: let's keep this thing going. If you lose, like we
Speaker 7: can only lose three more times. So like, yeah, January,
Speaker 7: you're going through film, you're playing Jersey, You're watching their
Speaker 7: power play and their penalty kill and yeah, you got
Speaker 7: another game.
Speaker 4: It's game fifty six. But when you get to April
Speaker 4: and May and.
Speaker 7: June, hopefully you're so dialed in and excited and like
Speaker 7: cannot wait to get to.
Speaker 1: The every day. Do you ever think I don't like
Speaker 1: the redundancy between that time. There's too many games.
Speaker 4: Too many games, eighty two games before playoffs.
Speaker 1: If they put it down to seventy, I think it
Speaker 1: would be the perfect amount because you would get a
Speaker 1: little bit more rested between games, so they'll be fresher,
Speaker 1: the product will be better and every game will mean more,
Speaker 1: and I think a little bit less out of conference,
Speaker 1: like create that rivalry within the conference of like where
Speaker 1: you're clawing to get out rather than I just think
Speaker 1: eighty two is way too much. This is topic.
Speaker 4: I just have to say this quick. It's not really
Speaker 4: off topic, but.
Speaker 7: This is why I originally the Premier League soccer in England.
Speaker 7: I was originally like, what the fuck? There's no playoffs
Speaker 7: but the regular season champ is the champ and the
Speaker 7: bottom three teams get relegated. That would obviously never happen.
Speaker 7: It's actually sick how they do it. Every game matter,
Speaker 7: every game matter.
Speaker 5: So much of them right until what if one team
Speaker 5: is so far in the last five games of the season,
Speaker 5: they're like, we're the champs.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say too, Like, what's what's interesting with
Speaker 2: like the like the team sports that go deep in
Speaker 2: the playoffs and have like seven rounds, like all your
Speaker 2: guys is like the NBA, you think about it, they
Speaker 2: have a lot of games. The MLB has a lot
Speaker 2: of games in the regular seasons, obviously, playoff basketball, playoff baseball,
Speaker 2: playoff hockey, like it all seems to get really heightened
Speaker 2: around your sport then to whereas with football, I feel
Speaker 2: like since you only play seventeen games, like Monday night football,
Speaker 2: Thursday night matters everything, like expect every game matters.
Speaker 4: And I saw a stat that.
Speaker 7: I think one of the last forty four teams or
Speaker 7: something that started own two made the playoffs. So you
Speaker 7: get off to a slow start, right, I gotta ran,
Speaker 7: I got a current football player question for you.
Speaker 1: Can I go into that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: No, why is it? Did they let Derek Henry go
Speaker 7: from your Titans guys? A French football fan. I saw
Speaker 7: him the other day against Dallas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, went off.
Speaker 4: I'm like this guy Tennessee like didn't play him at
Speaker 4: the end of the year that much. And then didn't
Speaker 4: sign him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I love that question right.
Speaker 4: Now, you'll you'll ask your answer.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, yeah, Like here here's my my If I'm
Speaker 5: putting myself in the GM's brain of the TENNI, no,
Speaker 5: I don't, but this is this would be my assumption.
Speaker 5: There is only one back in the last twenty years
Speaker 5: that has outplayed their second contract in their first contract.
Speaker 4: That's Derrick Henry.
Speaker 5: So if you're thinking of your ROI from a backstandpoint
Speaker 5: some point end, the market's gone so low, so you're
Speaker 5: essentially my My thought is this, like Derrick Henry was
Speaker 5: the Titans, yep, and you know your ceiling was at
Speaker 5: one point, maybe a super Bowl when you had Aj Brown,
Speaker 5: Tannehill was firing all cylinders. You had guys like actually
Speaker 5: killing it. But like then AJ was gone. It was
Speaker 5: really more one dimensional. Derek, and you saw that your
Speaker 5: ceiling was first second round the playoffs, like how do
Speaker 5: you get how do you get over that hump? And
Speaker 5: their thought is is like, if we bring in more
Speaker 5: speed everywhere to we're not so predictable. We cut eyes
Speaker 5: with Derek because we know that eventually that decline is
Speaker 5: going to happen. It's just inevitable. We get rid of him,
Speaker 5: we we we get our best ROI out of it,
Speaker 5: and then we have like a team that can like
Speaker 5: throw it all over the yard not working right now?
Speaker 1: The risk? Why not just sign them for what do
Speaker 1: you get?
Speaker 5: Well, I think he got two years sixteen, so they couldn't.
Speaker 1: Two years, and so if he he drops off in
Speaker 1: year one, it's like fuck. I think he deserves a
Speaker 1: swan song. I mean his last year, if he was
Speaker 1: played half the games.
Speaker 5: I would have loved it for I would have loved
Speaker 5: for Derek to stay. I just think I think everybody would.
Speaker 5: Nine years that I was on the Titans, it was,
Speaker 5: besides the first two years, essentially the same football team.
Speaker 5: Every year.
Speaker 1: We're gonna work Derek.
Speaker 5: Give it to Derek not but like we're we're a
Speaker 5: tough football team. Didn't make a whole lot of mistakes,
Speaker 5: and we try to get in third and manageables and
Speaker 5: get out of there. If we got behind the sticks,
Speaker 5: it would be over. And so we were just a
Speaker 5: team that would just grind you out for four quarters.
Speaker 1: I feel like football is the most cut throat of
Speaker 1: them all, and like the loyalty is next year. I
Speaker 1: feel like there's a little bit more or a lot
Speaker 1: more in hockey, and you can sign these eight year deals,
Speaker 1: which if you.
Speaker 2: Was going to say you get bought out, you fully
Speaker 2: guaranteed deal.
Speaker 1: You get bought out, you get two thirds of the
Speaker 1: deal if you're.
Speaker 5: Over the James James Neil hasn't been in the leaf
Speaker 5: for like half a decade now, he's still getting paid.
Speaker 1: Right, So they's wild. No, So what they do is,
Speaker 1: let's say he got bought out and he had three
Speaker 1: years left on his deal and he was making six
Speaker 1: million bucks, you would get two thirds of that, so
Speaker 1: four million over per per year, so three years twelve
Speaker 1: million over six years, so twice the length of how
Speaker 1: many years you had left. So they kind of space
Speaker 1: it out. So if he if you had three years left,
Speaker 1: he get paid for six years, but two thirds can't
Speaker 1: take care of the guy afterwards, spend it stupid and
Speaker 1: he gets bought out.
Speaker 7: Some guys get bought out signed with a new team
Speaker 7: because they're bought out, not because they're not end each
Speaker 7: ollers anymore.
Speaker 4: But it's just like hard cap, hard cap, we got
Speaker 4: to get rid of money. This guy's still solid.
Speaker 7: But like you said with Derek, Henry, like he's getting older,
Speaker 7: You get bought out, get thy signed with another team,
Speaker 7: end up making more than you would have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a double dip in the leak too, but
Speaker 5: it's a one year thing. Boy, got the double dip?
Speaker 5: What's that?
Speaker 2: I got a double dip?
Speaker 1: You did?
Speaker 5: You got a small dip, A small small yeah, hey,
Speaker 5: but a dip nonetheless. Yeah, but it will because my
Speaker 5: brain is not firing. Also, olds, how do you double dip?
Speaker 4: You just said it's allowed in the NFL for one.
Speaker 5: You can, but it's like a year by your base.
Speaker 2: No, every vested like veteran can double dip one time
Speaker 2: in their career. So when I am as a vested
Speaker 2: player and I'm on the day one opening roster, like
Speaker 2: if the ball kicks off and I'm on on that unit,
Speaker 2: like my year is now owed to me. Okay if
Speaker 2: they were to if they were to cut me, I
Speaker 2: would still get that salary that they owe me, and
Speaker 2: then I could still sign with somewhere else and then
Speaker 2: you also get the money on top of it.
Speaker 1: That's a blessing in disguise. Yeah. Yeah, I was going
Speaker 1: to ask as far as like that ruthlessness of the
Speaker 1: fact that they just snip guys. Has the Players Association
Speaker 1: and Football done a better job to claw back at
Speaker 1: more like guaranteed and how I guess less ruthless. It
Speaker 1: is from a guy who could play, you know, you
Speaker 1: know he could be gone the next day after an
Speaker 1: injury or something.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I'm to speak positively about the nflp A going.
Speaker 4: I mean you're not willing to.
Speaker 5: No, I just don't think they I don't think I
Speaker 5: think they could be way more effective than they actually are.
Speaker 1: Do you think that, knowing whatever that comes from the
Speaker 1: guys making sixty million a year though stepping up on
Speaker 1: behalf of those guys.
Speaker 5: I think your I think your problem is is the
Speaker 5: degrees of payment are insane. Like on a team, you
Speaker 5: have three to five guys that are broke off, like
Speaker 5: don't have to work again the rest of their lives.
Speaker 5: And then the rest of.
Speaker 4: It is like they're eating the classes.
Speaker 5: Like you have your upper class and then the middle
Speaker 5: class up.
Speaker 2: The middle classes.
Speaker 5: But basically, yeah, cut a very very large amount of
Speaker 5: the lower class. So when you get to the CBA
Speaker 5: negotiations to collective Bargaining Agreement and like renegotiating everything, it's it's
Speaker 5: the same way as you look at politics, like they
Speaker 5: throw out a couple of things like, oh, we're going
Speaker 5: to give a higher minimum to rookies or guys that are,
Speaker 5: you know, under your four years, and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 5: we got to jump at that because the majority of
Speaker 5: the league is like four years or younger. Because there's
Speaker 5: such a high turnover rate and the average of.
Speaker 4: The league is too. It's so big, dude, that.
Speaker 1: That turnover rate has hit the NHL because it's way
Speaker 1: it wasn't like that like ten years ago.
Speaker 5: Guys is a higher demand of athletes now like a
Speaker 5: higher supply of athletes. There's more. I just feel like
Speaker 5: with all the access we have to social media and
Speaker 5: the training and all that, even for when I was
Speaker 5: in high school, I see what these kids had. I
Speaker 5: was at my high school last week and it just
Speaker 5: seems like their facilities are nicer. They just have a right,
Speaker 5: they're put in a better position to be successful. So
Speaker 5: you just got kids peddling out that are like like
Speaker 5: the I guess the barrier of entry has kind of
Speaker 5: just done this a little bit more so they can
Speaker 5: cycle out that bottom you know ten yeah, way cheaper,
Speaker 5: which is what.
Speaker 1: The NFL is like you got to win.
Speaker 4: And like with the with the QB on his like rookie.
Speaker 7: Deal, like like it's five years you want before you
Speaker 7: got to pay him? If he's a stud, right, you
Speaker 7: gotta so it's you're looking for your cheapest options.
Speaker 2: It's like with the Bengals, they when they had Joe
Speaker 2: Burrow and they knew he's gonna be a star, it's
Speaker 2: like they're poor. They're trying to pour more money into
Speaker 2: the offensive line and get him weapons. With Jamar chasing
Speaker 2: those guys, Uh, they're just aund.
Speaker 1: Question about him, like handsome guy. Obviously he's got the
Speaker 1: world by the balls. He's star quarterback. Like I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to like my star quarterback kind
Speaker 1: of walking in with these fucking outfits every time like that,
Speaker 1: like I brought him, just be a little bit more
Speaker 1: all business.
Speaker 5: That's so hockey of you.
Speaker 1: What do you mean that's so hot hot? I thought
Speaker 1: you'd like the outfits.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got hit.
Speaker 5: The outfit he wore to night was kind of I
Speaker 5: didn't see.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: It's kind of like I get like Pink.
Speaker 1: I got I get switched up a little bit. But
Speaker 1: he's got like the frosted tips going. He looks like
Speaker 1: Kendall that he's like a thrown M and M you
Speaker 1: know Ken dollh phase where it's just like Buddy, like
Speaker 1: get off your fucking Instagram grid and get the fucking playbook. No,
Speaker 1: on my fucking mind.
Speaker 5: I think I think Joe is like one of the
Speaker 5: guys you don't got to worry about. Like jo just
Speaker 5: seems like a cat that's like dial like dial the fuck.
Speaker 1: They say.
Speaker 2: They say Joe b plays chess against himself and his locker.
Speaker 5: Like he's just a different cat.
Speaker 4: Okay, and you're like Austin Matthews shows the flare.
Speaker 1: No, I'm I think that I would be. I would.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that if I could have the ladder, like
Speaker 1: if I could have like Tom Brady walking in like
Speaker 1: a tailored suit, I'd rather it seems like that guy
Speaker 1: is just there for business rather than like worrying about
Speaker 1: this new like trendy outfit.
Speaker 4: This is coming from a guy wearing a robe, right,
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want me to be a fucking starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want me getting the fucking water bottles to
Speaker 1: win a championship like that's not me being a hypocrite either,
Speaker 1: Like I was the guy who dressed like a I'm
Speaker 1: saying I don't want eating the ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you get the old school vice.
Speaker 1: So I guess I was wrong in a sense of
Speaker 1: maybe in a certain case he's delegating his attention to
Speaker 1: like something that I would be like, eh, like, let's
Speaker 1: just win some fucking games here. But you're saying he's
Speaker 1: highly intelligent, highly committed, and I'm off base on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it into if he's got a third thing,
Speaker 2: which again I'm not in the locker room, but if
Speaker 2: he has good relationships with the guys, like ultimately you
Speaker 2: want them influence and you know, having influence on the
Speaker 2: locker room in a positive way. You know, you like,
Speaker 2: you want the locker room to feel good about the
Speaker 2: quarterback and you don't care what other people think, right right, Well,
Speaker 2: and if he checks all those boxes of intelligence said
Speaker 2: that you guys got jam where you're like, uh, because
Speaker 2: he's there's guys that can just they're just in that
Speaker 2: one percent of the one percent and they get the
Speaker 2: They have a little different they have a different swagger,
Speaker 2: they can kind of they can.
Speaker 5: Kind of do what they want. Yeah, but I feel
Speaker 5: like just being an outsider like kind of casually enjoying hockey.
Speaker 5: I feel like that's a very true hockey mindset that
Speaker 5: because they all like you guys have to wear suits,
Speaker 5: suit and tie all the time. You put a microphone
Speaker 5: in front of ninety nine hockey.
Speaker 1: Players, it feels like you guys are more.
Speaker 5: And even talking to Biz well got that, but like
Speaker 5: just talking to you guys, like anytime there's a compliment
Speaker 5: dished your away, you're passing it somewhere else, like you
Speaker 5: hockey players like don't look at me.
Speaker 2: Like, don't give him very much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I.
Speaker 5: Was a guy that showed a little flare, sup ban
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I feel like he was a flair guy.
Speaker 5: I didn't know. I don't know anything about his play,
Speaker 5: but it seemed like one of the things that kind
Speaker 5: of got him out of Nashville and like sent him
Speaker 5: somewhere else.
Speaker 7: But I mean he he was he was like a
Speaker 7: dynamic player. I mean he would have these end and rushes,
Speaker 7: especially the illness career of Montreal.
Speaker 4: All the crowd used to like love them. He'd get
Speaker 4: the puck and they'd all like start like a small
Speaker 4: chant and then he just looked wind it up.
Speaker 1: He was like a legend. But I also feel like
Speaker 1: it they actually let him be himself in Nashville. And
Speaker 1: it was more towards the end of his time in
Speaker 1: Montreal when Bergerban came.
Speaker 7: In Terran and him had some beefs that went like yeah,
Speaker 7: in between periods and some of those reality shows that
Speaker 7: might have followed the Canadians, he's you know, he's giving
Speaker 7: it to him a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it was more it was more as end
Speaker 1: time in Montreal, and I knew we were going to
Speaker 1: talk about the Predators at some point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because we were talking earlier and we actually we
Speaker 5: always do this between a pod. We're talking to somebody,
Speaker 5: it's like, hey, to save it, but I want to
Speaker 5: know your thought on the press this year, because everyone
Speaker 5: I talked to is like, yeah, the Pred's got a squad,
Speaker 5: a young squad, and they just got Buddy from the Lightning.
Speaker 4: They had a bunch of buddiesh from Lightning and Vegas.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they got studs everywhere and they kind of
Speaker 5: showed up last year in a big way towards the end, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Poil handed it off to Barry Trotz who
Speaker 1: was there as the head coach, and like I I
Speaker 1: would have assumed at one point it would have just
Speaker 1: been a complete rebuild based on where they were headed,
Speaker 1: but it's been a quick retool, like they ended up
Speaker 1: getting in the.
Speaker 7: Ryans at each position, which does change the fact that,
Speaker 7: like the full rebuild might not be necessary. Forward y,
Speaker 7: they got Forstburg, Yosi and Sorrows, great three stallions.
Speaker 1: To build to build off them absolutely, and then they
Speaker 1: go out and get Ryan O'Reilly, which I think that
Speaker 1: people might have thought he would have signed back in Toronto,
Speaker 1: but you know, Stanley Cup champion, but on the back
Speaker 1: nine of his career for sure. I go don't how
Speaker 1: much gas he has left in the tank. But making
Speaker 1: obviously a huge blast was getting Marshaso and stam Cooast
Speaker 1: were also older guys, so it kind of feels like
Speaker 1: a few of them have maybe even slighted, like Marchaso
Speaker 1: got hosed in in Vegas and then stamp Coast with
Speaker 1: the lightning. So they're getting these cagey old veterans and
Speaker 1: surrounding them with you know, they got a couple of
Speaker 1: good young players. Evangelista is a good player. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: they kind of did this retool as opposed to a rebuild,
Speaker 1: and with goaltending like that and with a solid lineup
Speaker 1: and good KG veterans that have been there and done that,
Speaker 1: I think that they're going to for sure make playoffs
Speaker 1: like and you never know, maybe they can go on
Speaker 1: a deep run like stam Coast proven champ being Marciso
Speaker 1: proven champion, Ryan O'Reilly, con smythe Stanley Cup winner, Yosi's
Speaker 1: All World and then Sarah's is an All World goalie.
Speaker 1: So I think it's really going to depend on some
Speaker 1: of these younger players that are are in limbo a
Speaker 1: little bit and how much they can help the team.
Speaker 1: And obviously Forsburg amongst those players I mentioned our Elastick.
Speaker 1: I think you had a fortys I know he's the man.
Speaker 4: He's a great dude, sick.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a big capast like super skilled star.
Speaker 1: And and shows up in hard times like you can
Speaker 1: play that hard playoff style game. So not really sure
Speaker 1: what to expect from the youth, but hopefully whatever they
Speaker 1: do have from prospects to youth pops quick, because like
Speaker 1: I said, all these guys that are their leaders are
Speaker 1: really on the back nine of their career.
Speaker 4: So let me let me say too.
Speaker 7: I think obviously BIZ talks a lot about the no
Speaker 7: state tax teams.
Speaker 1: They're one of them in the NHL.
Speaker 7: Everyone who asked me like favorite of being in a
Speaker 7: play in I kind of say Montreal.
Speaker 1: Like where should I go to a game? Nashville.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that stadium and the fact it's right on broad
Speaker 7: it's the best set up in the league. Like, if
Speaker 7: you want to see your team on the road, Yeah,
Speaker 7: Vegas is cool, go to Nashville.
Speaker 4: I love that city. They had the draft there in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, and I think busin and I.
Speaker 1: Said it should be here every year.
Speaker 7: It's just where the rink is, and how sick of
Speaker 7: a city Nashville is to visit. It's a hell of
Speaker 7: a spot now to like have players want to be there.
Speaker 1: If I was a Canadian, uh, well, I am a Canadian.
Speaker 1: But if I was telling a Canadian to head down
Speaker 1: the States to go get an American experience, I would
Speaker 1: probably say go to Nashville for a weekend and then
Speaker 1: go taking a game at Bridgestone as like a hockey
Speaker 1: cultural experience, because I believe that that's what they set
Speaker 1: up there. I know I fumblefucked out the start. But
Speaker 1: I think you guys there, yeah, likes more so than
Speaker 1: sending them to Vegas first, Like.
Speaker 5: The environment's crazy that I feel like for people from
Speaker 5: the South, where hockey is not influential at all, they
Speaker 5: completely understand the assignment of how to get into the game,
Speaker 5: be about it, have the chance, buy in, steal the
Speaker 5: red wings, octopus stay. Now we're making the catfish like right,
Speaker 5: just truly, it's it's like a culture flush.
Speaker 4: It's SEC football ish for hockey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but but you're we're saying the first best and
Speaker 5: Big Ten is the best conference.
Speaker 4: You knowllege football not for fans, But what do you mean?
Speaker 4: Like the SEC games like you've.
Speaker 5: Ever seen one hundred and fifteen thousand screens?
Speaker 4: I went to a Michigan game. I went to a
Speaker 4: Michigan game.
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
Speaker 7: And now the Big Ten, I guess is different. You
Speaker 7: added in USC and you added in somebody else in Oregon.
Speaker 7: So those two places, actually I don't know if USC's
Speaker 7: that's it.
Speaker 4: Sick of an atmosphere.
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm wrong, But then you got like Rutgers, you
Speaker 7: got like some teams where every SEC stadium.
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?
Speaker 5: Vanderbilt.
Speaker 4: You guys, are you guys are very biased?
Speaker 1: You're both Big Ten.
Speaker 4: It's we're talking, Oh.
Speaker 1: Me, Vanderbilt is college football bigger than ever? Yeah, you guys,
Speaker 1: it is, bro.
Speaker 4: Bigger in the South, it is.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Are you doing are you No?
Speaker 5: No, I'm really trying to think about it. Bro, think
Speaker 5: about this. You got Ohio, Michigan, Penn State, even throwing Nebraska, well,
Speaker 5: that's that Nebraska, Michigan State. Like you go to these
Speaker 5: schools in the Big Ten, and you start to realize,
Speaker 5: like people who live around the region fucking die for
Speaker 5: all of these teams, like they're about it. It's different, like.
Speaker 4: People are living in that Big Ten.
Speaker 5: It's a way of life. And then in the South,
Speaker 5: it's a religion.
Speaker 2: Religion that sounds kind of like both religion religion deep.
Speaker 4: Plan excellent, You landed that plane accidently, you got you?
Speaker 1: I thought it was a.
Speaker 5: Religion is like the same shit.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna trump my Joe Burrow, take
Speaker 1: and take the focus off me there, Really you really can,
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow.
Speaker 5: I will tell you if Joe Burrow was three and
Speaker 5: o right now, we would alway sitting here being like, guy, get.
Speaker 1: Him, because yeah, but he's not what is he owen
Speaker 1: or one and two?
Speaker 5: But listen, I think he's about one and two.
Speaker 7: He's he's down twenty eight thirteen three minutes stuff in
Speaker 7: the third and about six minutes the game. I bet
Speaker 7: the Bengals and bought it to minus six and a
Speaker 7: half which made it minus one thirty three and hammered him.
Speaker 1: So I believed in him.
Speaker 7: But right now they're gonna be They're gonna be one
Speaker 7: and two getting smoked by the command.
Speaker 5: You really, yeah, Jayden didn't du having new quarterbacks come
Speaker 5: in that are like can run like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just get dangerous.
Speaker 4: He's he's ten.
Speaker 5: Tyler Murray did his rookie year, Like it's just Cat said,
Speaker 5: they just deceptive on their legs on the ground.
Speaker 1: What do you make of all the whole Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: the Travis Kelf stuff, Like obviously it's probably talked about
Speaker 1: way too much and and too often. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it pisses off your your viewers when you guys
Speaker 1: talk about it, But like that kind of went nuclear,
Speaker 1: Like this guy is like gonna make like hundreds of
Speaker 1: millions when.
Speaker 5: Their podcast did.
Speaker 2: Like a hundred million dollar deal.
Speaker 4: I think New heightsed like paying her to like be
Speaker 4: at all these games.
Speaker 5: You know, who knows it can be some deep state stuff?
Speaker 1: Do you think? So?
Speaker 4: Oh whoa? But I know I don't truly believe that,
Speaker 4: but I love like, sorry.
Speaker 1: What's oh no, what's the like popularity from like a
Speaker 1: stats perspective, like viewership, Internet clicks?
Speaker 4: Crazy?
Speaker 5: The cap would have crazy this year based on revenues
Speaker 5: generated from twenty twenty three, and that had a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was a big ghatto.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 4: Guy, she's getting paid huh he thinks I'm not to
Speaker 4: even asking.
Speaker 2: Just because I think games, Yeah, but just because I
Speaker 2: think what her and Travis have is real. So if
Speaker 2: it's she's going to go to the game, she's not
Speaker 2: like trying.
Speaker 7: To because it was real and she's like the business
Speaker 7: woman it seems she is. She would she's at the game.
Speaker 7: It's popping that. It's the biggest news that she's at
Speaker 7: a game. You don't think she could be like I.
Speaker 4: Want to start getting paid for the CBS or NFL.
Speaker 2: Hell no, bro, she makes like billions of dollars.
Speaker 4: Rich people they always take aways to make a lot
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but what are they what is a big reach?
Speaker 2: But the what are you charging? Like if you if
Speaker 2: they're like all right, throwing numbers.
Speaker 1: But what do you think I want? I want?
Speaker 4: I want two million bucks every game I go to
Speaker 4: the NFL.
Speaker 1: If Swift is a like, hey, can we have your
Speaker 1: fans vote on who had the worst take by Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow or that one? I think we should have a
Speaker 1: vote who's going to walk the plank? Like you think
Speaker 1: this a bro that's being a bron And you took
Speaker 1: all the focus off me there.
Speaker 4: But I don't necessarily believe it.
Speaker 1: But then I wanted to argue it. But I want
Speaker 1: to see your bank statements.
Speaker 5: Do you need Taylor Swift at your game? Is that
Speaker 5: bad that you're paying too?
Speaker 1: Apparently you're telling me the cap went up because of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really went on around, but he goes up
Speaker 4: huge after.
Speaker 1: The players must like tell him thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: every time they line up across from him.
Speaker 5: Based on what he had sound happy right now, Travis
Speaker 5: under some hot water right now? He said, probably his
Speaker 5: first three games have been tough, like not Travis at all,
Speaker 5: And and there's a new m basically saying like oh
Speaker 5: we got to see where his priorities are at. Like,
Speaker 5: this is the first time I think it's the beginning
Speaker 5: of Travis's career that people are like, what's going on
Speaker 5: with him? Because he's always was the bench every time
Speaker 5: and shows up always trying to play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also wouldn't give a funck till game
Speaker 1: eight if I'm like the Kansas City Chiefs, because I know,
Speaker 1: just get ready to come on. Like we talked about
Speaker 1: the dog Days during the hockey season, game fifty six
Speaker 1: to you know, sixty two or whatever, like his dog days?
Speaker 4: What's that It's only six games?
Speaker 5: Hey, buddy, it's lately put it on the list for
Speaker 5: the fans to talk about.
Speaker 1: What take did? Yeah, I did both of mine outweigh wits.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember where I was the dog days.
Speaker 4: Dog The dog.
Speaker 1: Days for k C and and him are like games
Speaker 1: one through four. They're like, fuck, man, he's.
Speaker 5: Never had a losing season.
Speaker 7: He's never had a losing year. Have no Yeah, it
Speaker 7: seems like why could they not get another.
Speaker 1: What's the what's their record?
Speaker 5: He might have been to the playoffs and imagine the
Speaker 5: hot proove.
Speaker 7: In my argument of not knowing the NFL but saying
Speaker 7: you're so dumb to draft these high quarterbacks and playing
Speaker 7: first year.
Speaker 4: I don't get it. Let them watch and learn and
Speaker 4: practice and take a year in and then have them start.
Speaker 4: Mahomes did it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rady arguments Aaron Rodgers are giving against the Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers did it?
Speaker 1: What CJ.
Speaker 4: Shrouds argument? But for every seems like there's fifty.
Speaker 5: But there's there's multiple guys that. Josh Allen's another guy
Speaker 5: that was thrust it in there. Joe Burrow is another
Speaker 5: guy got thrust in.
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was the first overall superstar.
Speaker 2: Manning. He threw He's got the league record for interceptions.
Speaker 4: That I thought that was broken.
Speaker 1: No, we had a couple. Oh that was cool.
Speaker 7: Huh Yeah that walk in Tennessee uniforms with yeah concert,
Speaker 7: no helmet on.
Speaker 1: He's a silly guy, you guys him.
Speaker 5: Yeah. It was probably the best episode we've ever had.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 5: It was just like a legend because you get like
Speaker 5: a white well I'm sure you guys got your but
Speaker 5: like you get one of them on and like just
Speaker 5: stoked to have him. But then he's telling stories, were like,
Speaker 5: I wish we had three more hours. That's a dream yeah,
Speaker 5: because it was like there were legit, legitimate laughs. And
Speaker 5: even when you tell a joke and he kind of giggles,
Speaker 5: you're like, yeah, yeah, he's like he's feeding into the
Speaker 5: conversation kind of like this is where like no one's
Speaker 5: really controlling it, we're all just talking. He was kind
Speaker 5: of about that. It was just great.
Speaker 4: And how about its doing doing what we do?
Speaker 7: Like when you get an interview where the guy is
Speaker 7: just says, put a quarter in him and let him
Speaker 7: go the best, and it's like you're not. You don't
Speaker 7: feel like I'm working right now. And then you add
Speaker 7: it to being like a legend. Yeah, this is this
Speaker 7: is the best job in the world.
Speaker 5: The worst dude. Then sitting with somebody and you have
Speaker 5: your little sheet just in case things aren't going well,
Speaker 5: and by minute I got no more bullets I got
Speaker 5: because But the good thing is, I'm sure you guys
Speaker 5: do It is like when Will and I have a
Speaker 5: little issue, we'll just start bouncing off each other and
Speaker 5: kind of find something and then we'll just sauce it
Speaker 5: over and see you pull your chair, just block him out.
Speaker 4: This is at times we'll just start like fucking around.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ye who's got the smelliest parts on the team,
Speaker 1: Like just if you're gonna get the smelliest parts, like legit,
Speaker 1: like stupid ship at them if they're gonna give me nothing,
Speaker 1: like if you don't want if you're gonna give me
Speaker 1: two word answers like don't just don't come on right
Speaker 1: even if.
Speaker 2: You are a big name.
Speaker 5: Do you guys have more issues with active players?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I feel like I feel like we've gotten
Speaker 1: better at it. And you also just you make them shorter,
Speaker 1: like if you get fifteen minutes out of them. The
Speaker 1: YouTube generation and the current fans do want to hear
Speaker 1: from these players. So yeah, even some, but sometimes you
Speaker 1: get these like some gems like we had this arbor
Speaker 1: Jackie on and he was an hour and Montreal fans
Speaker 1: are crazy. He plays for the Habs and that was
Speaker 1: one of our most listened to in a long time.
Speaker 1: So but there's nothing better than when you get this
Speaker 1: like old veteran who doesn't give a fuck and he
Speaker 1: is just letting it fly. We had Eddie Shack. This
Speaker 1: guy was an old school league passed away. Mind you,
Speaker 1: We had to delete like seven to the interview because
Speaker 1: this guy was as old school as they came, but
Speaker 1: he didn't like, he didn't give a shit, and he
Speaker 1: was telling us these insane stories about when when hockey
Speaker 1: was in black and white. So it was like getting
Speaker 1: those throwbacks and getting those guys slinging it. There's nothing better.
Speaker 2: And when it's coming out of their mouth too, you
Speaker 2: just know you're like, oh man, this dude, he's letting
Speaker 2: it rip.
Speaker 1: And and you know the fans are listening on their
Speaker 1: stereo and they're like, this.
Speaker 2: Is what we want and they love it. Bro the
Speaker 2: authenticity from guys.
Speaker 5: When you get done, you just look look at each
Speaker 5: other and you're like, what that was a fall. You know,
Speaker 5: every week your probably comes at the same time, but
Speaker 5: this week especially, you're like, I cannot wait. You're checking
Speaker 5: it every hour.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you got that personal enjoyment from it, and
Speaker 1: you're you're but you're more excited for the fans to
Speaker 1: hear it, because like you were able to extract this
Speaker 1: and deliver it to them, and it's just like it
Speaker 1: makes doing what we do Like that to me is
Speaker 1: like the that's the pop people tell.
Speaker 7: You guys like, oh, I listen to you guys like
Speaker 7: throughout the week every day and it's unreal, Like I'm
Speaker 7: at work and the time flies by, and it's like
Speaker 7: that's the best compliment. He's like, you just like so
Speaker 7: many hours I enjoy listening to you guys. Just shoot
Speaker 7: the shape it just like I'm in traffic. It doesn't
Speaker 7: even feel like I'm sitting in at that long like
Speaker 7: because it's a good part.
Speaker 4: And you're like, that's the best compliment you could get.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just take it away from people's regular everyday life, yes,
Speaker 5: where they're able to be like, oh fuck from I
Speaker 5: just got to work. Let me throw on the boys
Speaker 5: real quick for a little bit. I'm gonna rip this,
Speaker 5: you know, and then two hours just buying You're like,
Speaker 5: god damn.
Speaker 7: You listen to certain podcasts and I'm like the same way.
Speaker 7: It's like a nice you can just chill listen. You're
Speaker 7: looking forward to it, Yeah, you fos.
Speaker 5: Especially when you go on the run too, and you're
Speaker 5: like like I always put like a Rogan one in,
Speaker 5: but like he had Tom Segar on recently and like
Speaker 5: getting a know Tom and all that, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of like a big hour drive ahead of me.
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, I'm gonna put this on right now
Speaker 5: that hour went by like that, Yeah, and I was like, Jesus, what.
Speaker 1: We get to do.
Speaker 2: And when you get to meet those guys, it's like
Speaker 2: you you want to say the same stuff to them
Speaker 2: because you want them to know they're like, yo, you
Speaker 2: impact me, right, And so when those people say to you,
Speaker 2: you realize the impact you're doing them because you feel
Speaker 2: it with the people that we listen to.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know because every UFC fight I ever go to,
Speaker 5: like the big ones, Rogan's there, right, and I want
Speaker 5: to every time just kind of like go be like
Speaker 5: I know we met before, bro, but like still the
Speaker 5: man and like like a creaky way, but just be
Speaker 5: like the same thing that people say to you. Were
Speaker 5: just explaining what is like, Yeah, like bro, you I
Speaker 5: know you have the biggest podcast in the entire world,
Speaker 5: but I'm one of them. I'm one of the people
Speaker 5: that listen to the show. And I just want you
Speaker 5: to know that's cool as fuck and then dip out
Speaker 5: of there.
Speaker 1: But you never do well. You guys had on uh
Speaker 1: fuck what's his name? Politician guy? He was r RFK.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, like we kind of avoid
Speaker 1: the politics talk. Did you guys talk about politics when
Speaker 1: he was on and like, what do your what do
Speaker 1: your viewers think? Like does it? Does it create tension?
Speaker 1: Like do you get negative comments for getting political? And like,
Speaker 1: hey you stick the score?
Speaker 2: I mean you, I feel like you when you're in
Speaker 2: that world, You're gonna get comments no matter what. But
Speaker 2: it was one of those things like Taylor and I
Speaker 2: talked about like hey do we want to have a politician? YadA,
Speaker 2: YadA YadA. But then we got back to the question
Speaker 2: that we have with everybody else we have on It's
Speaker 2: like how do we bring the locker room to life
Speaker 2: like with this person. So even though we might have
Speaker 2: had a couple like questions about politics, like we're trying
Speaker 2: to talk to him and get out story is the
Speaker 2: same way you guys do, the same way we do
Speaker 2: with players, the same way with anybody that comes on
Speaker 2: the bus, And ultimately you want them to feel good
Speaker 2: enough to where they're coming off authentically, like you were
Speaker 2: talking about when you find somebody that just storytells and
Speaker 2: it's just like putting a quarter in them because ultimately
Speaker 2: the people are watching and listening to it, like they're
Speaker 2: going to love seeing that side of that person and.
Speaker 4: They might learn something RFK interview.
Speaker 1: I watched it.
Speaker 7: Like, the one thing about that guy that's cool is
Speaker 7: like he is so into the health of the United
Speaker 7: States and the kids, So who the fuck is not
Speaker 7: going to be down with here and his way good point,
Speaker 7: Like at least my wife's she's like, he talks a
Speaker 7: lot the food that we eat and how much shit.
Speaker 1: Is in the food that.
Speaker 7: And how kids are just beating and I ate like
Speaker 7: shit like sugary CEO. But like he's it's probably to
Speaker 7: me one of the most important things, like why is
Speaker 7: our nation so fat? We've gone off a deep end here,
Speaker 7: But you brought that interview up, and that's what about him.
Speaker 7: If you can't enjoy listening to at least his ideas
Speaker 7: of a good thing, then who cares if you hate it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, The cool thing about K is like I like,
Speaker 5: I have friends that are on both sides of the fence,
Speaker 5: and every time I brought up RFK, everyone's like, yeah
Speaker 5: like them, Like no one ever has like a really
Speaker 5: super divisive thought. There's some people were on the left
Speaker 5: actually that are like, oh, he's a fucking cook, like
Speaker 5: he you know, the brain worms all this stuff. But
Speaker 5: every guy on the right, I've talked to I've been like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm RFK.
Speaker 1: Is the man's crazy.
Speaker 4: His voice like probably affects him from ever becoming.
Speaker 5: And getting ready for this thing, getting ready for his podcast.
Speaker 5: I went and looked back at old interviews and he
Speaker 5: had a regular voice.
Speaker 1: Fu he had like this, Uh, I know what's messed up.
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe he had a deep voice.
Speaker 5: No, he had he had a regular voice. And then
Speaker 5: there was some sort of like disease that I like,
Speaker 5: he had, like some sort of automue disease and I'm
Speaker 5: butchering it that attacked his vocal cords. And so it
Speaker 5: sounds like he's struggling to talk all the time, but
Speaker 5: really he's just he feels fine. He feels like us
Speaker 5: talking right now. It's just how it comes. It's coming out,
Speaker 5: which is crazy.
Speaker 1: So did you ask him about like how he even
Speaker 1: got into it and the politics and all that, Like
Speaker 1: obviously his father wise, so he kind.
Speaker 4: Of just fell in mind the first ten minutes was
Speaker 4: father wasn't JFK though, do you know that?
Speaker 1: Or was it his uncle? Yeah? And so his father
Speaker 1: and his uncle were assassinated. Oh, his father. To keep
Speaker 1: in mind, guys on Canadian.
Speaker 7: I don't know Abraham Lincoln was assassinated episode No clue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5: Is that bad?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, I don't know who like China's history Okay, good, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I don't know the Canadian history or nothing like that. Hey,
Speaker 5: Biz was telling me that all the Canadians that watch
Speaker 5: US BIZ loves Trudeau.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: He was saying how much he's talking Kevin O'Leary to
Speaker 1: a certain degree. Like most of what he said. I
Speaker 1: think it was on the Full sent podcast. He had
Speaker 1: a very good breakdown of like why he has this.
Speaker 1: He said he's successful in the sense he's been in
Speaker 1: power for nine years and that's a long time. And
Speaker 1: I don't think like as a person he's maybe malicious.
Speaker 1: I just think he has zero clue what he's doing.
Speaker 5: And it's just like, yeah, it's every Canadian I like
Speaker 5: I because I go to Clone all the time and
Speaker 5: every Canadian I've met, I've not met one person that
Speaker 5: likes Trudeau.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I haven't really met any either in Canada.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, it's kind of is all the trucks are
Speaker 5: the Proud Boys. Literally, it's so funny. And I've told
Speaker 5: this I don't know what exact same what they're the
Speaker 5: exact same. You guys just have stabbings, we have shootings.
Speaker 5: That's basically the only difference between Canada America because Canadians
Speaker 5: Canadians look. Canadians look at me and they're like, you
Speaker 5: guys as politics are crazy. But then I drived on
Speaker 5: the street and there's like big, you know, Chevy trucks
Speaker 5: and there's like fuck Trudeau with a bunch of stickers and.
Speaker 1: Stuff like that. It's the same.
Speaker 4: People Verse thirty five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you guys are one hundred miles within one
Speaker 5: hundred miles of the border, like you guys are just
Speaker 5: are Upper Upper States.
Speaker 1: I also wouldn't get that intense about it. It's more
Speaker 1: of like I think that there's time for change and
Speaker 1: if people want to elect them and keep them in,
Speaker 1: it's like all right, well fuck. I mean, I'm spending
Speaker 1: most of my time in the in the US anyway,
Speaker 1: but all my family and friends are Canadians, so it's like, ah,
Speaker 1: they don't seem to want him there either. So that's
Speaker 1: just kind of people like I never I never invest
Speaker 1: that much energy into it because like, realistically, not much
Speaker 1: is going to change about our lives depending on.
Speaker 4: What That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 7: And for me, like I've followed it all and I
Speaker 7: have certain opinions, but I'm like, maybe it's a bad
Speaker 7: way of looking at it because my life could have changed.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 7: The argument would be like you should care about other
Speaker 7: people's but I do. But I do too, But I
Speaker 7: be honest, it's like it is it. It doesn't change
Speaker 7: my life?
Speaker 1: Really? What's going on that much?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I just I argue with people all the time, like
Speaker 4: I don't know, I enjoy.
Speaker 5: The rabbit holes. I really enjoy like getting on, getting
Speaker 5: on tighter, like hitting a search bar, typing one of
Speaker 5: the other end and just kind of scrolling comments and sing.
Speaker 4: But do you even know what people just down even
Speaker 4: know what's like legit and real?
Speaker 5: Oh and that's that's the thing that blows my mind.
Speaker 5: I go back to the Rogan and Sigura head they
Speaker 5: were talking about like what's real and what's not. I
Speaker 5: think if I google something controversial right now, I don't
Speaker 5: and I would read it. I don't know if that's
Speaker 5: the truth or Okay, yeah I needed so to me,
Speaker 5: it's like if how am I going to find out
Speaker 5: the actual answer. I models will just like kind of
Speaker 5: sit back, play with the chaos in my head. It
Speaker 5: was a fun little game. But that that rf K
Speaker 5: one was so much fun when he was telling stories
Speaker 5: about his uncle and his dad and like growing up
Speaker 5: and the Redskins would come over to their house.
Speaker 1: And football players.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, like the football players. Like the football players
Speaker 5: would come over.
Speaker 2: And we were like nootball player.
Speaker 1: I was people listening saying thanks for clarifying, and the
Speaker 1: rest are like that guy's.
Speaker 5: Bullets. We got to switch it on somebody else.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I'm I'm not very intelligent. I never went
Speaker 1: to college other than Davenport University. That was like an
Speaker 1: a portable and I took two classes and I slept
Speaker 1: the entire time like you would do during film in
Speaker 1: the NFL, no doubt, especially your boy.
Speaker 5: He was telling we're just crazy, and it was so
Speaker 5: much fun to listen to because he's telling things that
Speaker 5: we've all learned about at some capacity. Americans have learned
Speaker 5: about it some capacity like.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no no, no.
Speaker 5: Historical people are probably watch.
Speaker 1: Would direct It's like some of our listeners might go over.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the RFK podcast is great, Like they talk about
Speaker 5: his dad's assassination, his dad and them going over to Poland.
Speaker 5: It was it was an awesome time. Go check it out.
Speaker 5: That was a nice poll.
Speaker 1: Bring me back in there, dude, that would have been
Speaker 1: one story that would have been like a best of
Speaker 1: Then direct more traffic. Anyway, we can move on.
Speaker 2: I got a question for you guys, like what's up
Speaker 2: with the world, Like it seems like you guys get
Speaker 2: into it with with GMS. I saw the recent one
Speaker 2: that feels like you guys have been toes with an
Speaker 2: organization or two.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we we have been, And I guess it's like
Speaker 7: kind of weird because Biz and I got real no
Speaker 7: desire to be like causing a ruckus in organization.
Speaker 1: We seem to do it.
Speaker 4: We seen.
Speaker 7: But last year with the Columbus head coach, he ended
Speaker 7: up getting fired based on like a report and something
Speaker 7: BIZ had heard and snowballed when research was done into
Speaker 7: something where a coach was fired right before the season.
Speaker 7: And then this year I talked about the Boston Bruins
Speaker 7: star goalie Jeremy swam and young maybe twenty five, I
Speaker 7: don't know exactly his age, but just became like a
Speaker 7: star in the league. He the last few years, been
Speaker 7: playing with a great goalie who won the Vesta on
Speaker 7: Boston had a two man tandem. Well, they traded the
Speaker 7: other guy like Linas Almark and now it's swaming. But
Speaker 7: they traded him when he was unsigned. They traded all
Speaker 7: Mark and Swiming didn't have a deal. So now it's
Speaker 7: gone on all summer. Now training camp started and he's
Speaker 7: not there and he's not signed. He's holding out.
Speaker 4: I went on and was told the offer of the
Speaker 4: Bruins gave him, which was an enormous slap.
Speaker 1: In the face.
Speaker 4: He's looking for around eight years times.
Speaker 7: I bet he'd take eight point two five eight and
Speaker 7: they offered him four years at six point two two million,
Speaker 7: So he's looking for sixty four Say they offered him
Speaker 7: what is that twenty six?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I went on and gave that, and then I also
Speaker 7: mentioned that I'd been told that the Bruins hadn't been
Speaker 7: returning like his agent's calls and we're responding to a
Speaker 7: possible like reoffer or or an offer given back by
Speaker 7: the agent and the player, and that he hadn't heard
Speaker 7: back from Don Sweeney the GM and randomly in the
Speaker 7: middle of his preseason the day before training camp press conference,
Speaker 7: he was asked about swinging.
Speaker 4: He's not signed. He kept getting asked, kept getting asked.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm not going to talk about rumors, but
Speaker 4: one rumor that was bullshit was the Spitting Up on
Speaker 4: Yourself podcast.
Speaker 1: I loved it. Yeah, and then I heard that we
Speaker 1: got him.
Speaker 4: He goes, I know, yeah, so boom.
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, well, now we're in the middle
Speaker 7: of this, but it's kind of hilarious that a GM's
Speaker 7: talking about our podcast naming it a different name.
Speaker 1: But we're in the mix.
Speaker 4: But it's weird.
Speaker 7: So he ends up saying yeah, and you know, my
Speaker 7: son loves Paul Bisonett and he's a very entertaining guy.
Speaker 7: And he goes into like, but they're doing it for.
Speaker 4: Kind of clicks. Is basically I'm paraphrasing what he said.
Speaker 1: That's what they do.
Speaker 7: They don't know what for facts. They shouldn't present it
Speaker 7: as facts. BIZ didn't even say it.
Speaker 1: I said it.
Speaker 4: So then it's like, all right, well, we're in the
Speaker 4: mid we're in the middle level.
Speaker 7: We got to address it now, right and I I
Speaker 7: we did the episode drops is this dropping Tuesday morning?
Speaker 7: Mars drops its live right now, and we addressed this,
Speaker 7: and you know, so go check.
Speaker 1: It out, check out.
Speaker 5: Watch watched this, check check out.
Speaker 4: Go check it out.
Speaker 7: And yeah, and Biz had a conversation with him and
Speaker 7: and there's evidence, there's evidence that he you know, he's
Speaker 7: not a fan of mine.
Speaker 4: So it kind of is what it is. But we
Speaker 4: are in the mix.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a long answer, long after that's how we
Speaker 1: got in the mix. And yeah, just kind of like
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, we had two current gms
Speaker 7: on the same episode that's live right now. So it's like,
Speaker 7: if we got two gms that are friendly enough and
Speaker 7: good enough to us to come on, well, one GM
Speaker 7: really doesn't like me. I mean, we're still doing pretty
Speaker 7: well in Minnesota. Doug Ars from Billy Garran coming on
Speaker 7: and talking to us about their teams right now, when
Speaker 7: when you're when you're talking, when you go out and
Speaker 7: talk about the player and like they offered him X,
Speaker 7: Y and Z.
Speaker 2: Are you getting that from the players camping? And if so,
Speaker 2: like and you.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't say who you're getting it from anyways, got you.
Speaker 2: Gotch almost almost Therefore.
Speaker 4: Ryan Adam Adam Scheffie, he ain't giving up sources.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 5: Ad minute you say your sources, you'll never get another source.
Speaker 7: Right, You imagine any fucking sources Adam Schefter has. Yeah,
Speaker 7: he's got to have every breaking Elliott Friedman similar to that.
Speaker 7: In the NHL, they they're breaking the biggest news. They
Speaker 7: got mad sources and they're not Do you ever get
Speaker 7: given in any of them?
Speaker 2: Do you ever get worried about like players wanting to
Speaker 2: come back to Like that player was like, hey, why
Speaker 2: would you be saying that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I wouldn't say something.
Speaker 7: I don't think me saying what I heard I don't
Speaker 7: know Jeremy Swaman, but me saying the offer the Bruins
Speaker 7: gave him, I know that that would never hurt him.
Speaker 7: I'm helping him in a sense of like everyone's like,
Speaker 7: that's the fucking offer they gave me. Yeah, if I
Speaker 7: was like, if I was like, if I didn't know
Speaker 7: the guy, well, I guess I would say this. But
Speaker 7: if I'm like, I heard this team offered him ten
Speaker 7: million years, you're not taking it, so he'd.
Speaker 1: Be looked bad. I don't know if i'd share that.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: a problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess if I didn't know him, I wouldn't, but.
Speaker 1: I would be honest about saying, yeah, if you think
Speaker 1: you're fucking worth more than then I guess try and
Speaker 1: get it. But I think he's being a little greedy
Speaker 1: in this sense. Yeah, that's true if that was the case.
Speaker 1: But uh, but also one part of the story too,
Speaker 1: it's I think he was just frustrated. He completely fumbled
Speaker 1: the situation when I which I think he's done, and
Speaker 1: then to go radio silent for three weeks in the summer,
Speaker 1: which he denies. We should say, yeah, which he's denying.
Speaker 1: That's just that's what that that that's what the same
Speaker 1: source thinks. We never denied the numbers, so obviously the
Speaker 1: source is legit. Why would he lie about the time
Speaker 1: that they they didn't talk. There was radio silence for
Speaker 1: three fucking weeks. You still haven't signed your star goalie.
Speaker 1: So what's gonna happen? Is this gonna get drawn out
Speaker 1: to December? First? That could happen, and it's crazy, which
Speaker 1: would be crazy because if at that point he doesn't sign,
Speaker 1: he has to sit out the full season. Is that
Speaker 1: is there a situation like that in the NFL? Where
Speaker 1: if your deal's not done by a certain.
Speaker 4: Game earlier, I asked him this earlier.
Speaker 5: No, I have no clue.
Speaker 1: There's only been.
Speaker 5: A few situations where guys have set out the entire year.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's like a cutoff where you have
Speaker 5: to like sit out.
Speaker 1: Who was the biggest player to ever be like, no,
Speaker 1: not enough, I'm not playing this year.
Speaker 4: I mean there was, and he didn't play the whole year.
Speaker 5: He was the only person I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: For short money was.
Speaker 5: Bro He was the man for real, like he was Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's such a unique style of player too. He just
Speaker 5: like sat behind his line and kind of just looked
Speaker 5: around a little bit then read it and and it's
Speaker 5: like a weird way to play. But Trent Williams, That's
Speaker 5: what I was gonna say. Trent Williams is the only player,
Speaker 5: off the top of my head that took a year
Speaker 5: off and came back and you're like, yeah, he's still
Speaker 5: him still. The year didn't accept me to.
Speaker 1: Get what he was looking for.
Speaker 2: No, I mean I'm saying that year he lost his salary.
Speaker 2: But because he hated how the how Washington kind of
Speaker 2: bought some.
Speaker 7: Of his San Francisco now, Yeah, offensive lineman.
Speaker 5: I think to me, t Trent Williams is the greatest
Speaker 5: offensive lineman in the history of the game. He's the
Speaker 5: number one player ever he's in He's a guy in.
Speaker 1: The NFL position.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's the man, dude. And it's like the
Speaker 5: same guy you're talking about who sat out a year. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's one of the best. He I think he's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's on like the Mount Rushmore of offense. Wow, he's got.
Speaker 1: To be another guy who's probably on the Mount Rushmore,
Speaker 1: if not the best? Was that Aaron Donald?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Was he the best pass rusher of all time?
Speaker 2: He's argument yeah, he's argue believe the best defensive player
Speaker 2: of all time?
Speaker 1: Really, who is the other?
Speaker 2: Guylor Orange Taylorggie White?
Speaker 5: Reggie White was a monster?
Speaker 1: Bro him. What made Aaron Donald so effective? He was
Speaker 1: just this like massive human that bounced.
Speaker 2: How great he was in the short amount of time
Speaker 2: that he played, Like he doesn't have how many years
Speaker 2: did he.
Speaker 1: Act the time or he played one more year than me?
Speaker 5: But I'm saying somebody like.
Speaker 2: That, like he could have played He could have played
Speaker 2: at least fifteen.
Speaker 5: And showed no signs of stopping no signs. That's what
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Like Megatron for the Lions, he just was
Speaker 5: like the way he phrased it is is like I've
Speaker 5: achieved everything I could possibly achieve in this game. Like
Speaker 5: I've given everything, Like right move on, bro. From the
Speaker 5: minute he stepped in the field, he was a Pro
Speaker 5: Bowl All Pro guy. From the minute rookie year he
Speaker 5: was he was the thirteenth overall pick. My year was
Speaker 5: Defensive Rookie of the Year, and then went on nine
Speaker 5: straight Pro Bowls after that and I think six All Pros. Yeah,
Speaker 5: three Defense Player of the Years. I might be a
Speaker 5: lumpy too, dog, I'm telling you, like for ten years
Speaker 5: and it was like he played three techniques for the
Speaker 5: most part. So that's on the guards, so tackle guards center.
Speaker 2: I know, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't want to just trying to explain it, like
Speaker 5: and I would when we would play the Rams, whether
Speaker 5: they're in Saint Louis or in LA you just look
Speaker 5: at the guards throughout the week and you're like your
Speaker 5: few tour motherfuckers. And then and then this motherfucker starts
Speaker 5: playing on the edge. Every once in a while, I'm thinking,
Speaker 5: damn it did burn no he never got me, but
Speaker 5: but he would. It's very different like there's with rushers.
Speaker 5: It's very unique for a guy to be played, to
Speaker 5: be able to play multiple spots. Guy like t J Watt,
Speaker 5: he's on the right tackles. He's one of the most
Speaker 5: effective all time rushers of all time. His brother JJ
Speaker 5: could go tackle, guard, center, guard, tackle, and that is
Speaker 5: so hard to game plan because he essentially goes down
Speaker 5: the line and to begin in the game, figure out
Speaker 5: who's got the fucking takes him out the whole day.
Speaker 5: Oh no, so you get like my rookie I got
Speaker 5: tested by JJ and luckily I had some success, and
Speaker 5: I was like, he kind of stayed away after that.
Speaker 5: I was like, thank god, because the dude was a
Speaker 5: fucking stud and he would just go find one guy.
Speaker 1: And then after the first quarter, where's where's what in
Speaker 1: that conversation, top twenty all time?
Speaker 5: Oh, he's top twenty for sure. Defensive lineman of all time.
Speaker 7: Yeah, barstool told me, sorry to interrupt, but quickly you'd
Speaker 7: appreciate this that Christian McCaffrey might retire sooner than people.
Speaker 5: Think, why, oh man, we need him.
Speaker 2: I would look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a straight up rumor.
Speaker 4: But I was like what, and he's like, yeah, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised. I got a source at barstool, So.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Barstool's got crazy sources they've gotten. That's like
Speaker 5: the most insane place to grab a source.
Speaker 4: No crazier than the Taylor Swift getting paid by the NFL.
Speaker 5: Take Hey, honestly, I was ready to give that legs.
Speaker 1: I was ready to get that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think I think that's a fun conspiracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's a great white help. I guess
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if I would be surprised.
Speaker 2: I know he's battling within Achilles right now.
Speaker 1: He's just in Germany to talk to a specialist. He's
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries, right, No, not really, or
Speaker 1: maybe it was another country one year.
Speaker 2: He's been hurt a couple of times when he was
Speaker 2: at Caroline.
Speaker 5: I think he had like a resurgence of health when
Speaker 5: he went to fort nine ers.
Speaker 1: And you know who I love from that Panthers team
Speaker 1: was that linebacker. The white guy.
Speaker 5: Would stand up right now, he'd be hard as a rock.
Speaker 2: That's I think he's he didn't get to play as
Speaker 2: long as he wanted to.
Speaker 1: Or everybody else writing to Yeah.
Speaker 2: He ended up retiring, Yeah from concussions, and Bro, he
Speaker 2: legitimately could have been like the best linebacker of all time.
Speaker 2: I mean, ray Lewis has an insane resume, but Luke
Speaker 2: was somebody who.
Speaker 1: Was his brain though right the play before.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and he was nails.
Speaker 1: Though he was nails to Bro, he would Now I'm
Speaker 1: going to talk foreign love us ship.
Speaker 2: But I remember a Dallas game and it was on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 2: I believe, and Bro, they're playing Tampa two. And when
Speaker 2: you're a Tampa two middle linebacker, you're the middle runner.
Speaker 2: So you're you're taking it all the way down the pipe.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, okay, cover, so your collisions are going to
Speaker 1: be hard.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, So my cover two, I'm pass first.
Speaker 2: I'm a pass first linebacker, and I'm running down the
Speaker 2: middle of the field to have the highest route.
Speaker 1: Of space.
Speaker 5: Off the snap.
Speaker 2: They had trips to one side, so three receivers. He
Speaker 2: runs up the middle. The three guy, the one he's
Speaker 2: closest to, runs down the pipe, so he is supposed
Speaker 2: to run with him, but he starts off deep enough
Speaker 2: to where he knows the quarterback's eyes. He's gonna check
Speaker 2: it and then go to different color because he already
Speaker 2: sees that he sees as Tampa two.
Speaker 5: Keiley's already on top. I'm gonna go to my next read.
Speaker 2: He baits this deep dagger from the outside receiver, he
Speaker 2: leaves the middle of the field and just I mean
Speaker 2: not guesses, but uh, he knew, Yeah, he knew it
Speaker 2: was coming. He knew that he baited the middle of
Speaker 2: the field, and he took off and picks the dig
Speaker 2: route and takes it back for six. And then we're yeah, bro.
Speaker 2: And then as like if you're if you're playing cover
Speaker 2: four and you got to carry, it's.
Speaker 1: Like ed re type stuff too.
Speaker 5: Right, and here's safety right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I think I think he broke down to
Speaker 1: play exactly like you just talked about in a baiting sense,
Speaker 1: because you watched so much tape that he knew that if.
Speaker 2: He situationally, third down whatever, he knew that that play
Speaker 2: was coming. And then like if you're in cover four
Speaker 2: and you got to carry a receiver, so you're kind
Speaker 2: of like you're kind of running to where when the
Speaker 2: balls up, you're more so like looking at their eyes
Speaker 2: and playing their hands.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Because yeah, you got your back to the QB. You
Speaker 2: got your back to the quarterback. You're kind of underneath
Speaker 2: because again in cover four, you're more below the three receiver.
Speaker 2: But he was so good that a guy like me,
Speaker 2: you're trying to read the eyes and play through the
Speaker 2: hands because you're probably not gonna be able to turn
Speaker 2: around and make a play when you're behind a receiver.
Speaker 2: He was good enough to where he turns and picks
Speaker 2: the ball off.
Speaker 4: Instead of just trying to knock it down from him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a series, a series after that pick six
Speaker 2: that I just explained, no ship, yeah, bro back series.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a legend.
Speaker 4: Did he make plenty of money?
Speaker 1: Hopefully million? He's making a million, but they think about
Speaker 1: Luke was spending it either, Yeah, he's probably driving a Volvo.
Speaker 1: Yeah he did.
Speaker 5: He did have a lot of concussions, but he was
Speaker 5: so physical in the beginning part of his career, and
Speaker 5: then once he started to have more head stuff, you
Speaker 5: could see him playing with his hands way more equally
Speaker 5: as effective equally, yeah, to be and be more effective
Speaker 5: with less it.
Speaker 2: Was and he had like the record of tackles there.
Speaker 1: So once again, I still don't know a ton about football.
Speaker 1: There was this old school running back. I think he
Speaker 1: was a white guy too, for the Tampa Bay. I'll
Speaker 1: be scrolling through instace sometimes and There'll be like a
Speaker 1: highlight clip of him. I could every time. I'll sit
Speaker 1: there and watch it, like kneeling people.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was fucked like was he like?
Speaker 1: Was he on the juice and ship? Like?
Speaker 2: What was wrong with who knows? You talk about his
Speaker 2: playing days, he just seemed like it seemed like they
Speaker 2: had late nights, woke up early for workouts, like he
Speaker 2: was part of an old school generation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's a classic cat that looks at everybody
Speaker 5: playing now go man, this generation is so soft.
Speaker 2: We had him on the pod saying that He's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you guys generation soft.
Speaker 5: You're right.
Speaker 1: Sorry about the question, mister Alstide. I agree. I got
Speaker 1: a host. Boys, what do I do? Go ahead, and
Speaker 1: then when you when you come back, I'll go hose
Speaker 1: unless you guys want to end this thing, like what
Speaker 1: do you? Where were you? Guys?
Speaker 5: We're at an hour right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sure that's that good enough.
Speaker 2: Since we have you both.
Speaker 1: On, want to just sign off? I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: end it. No, hang on, just go just let he'll
Speaker 1: go peoplerong. Okay, sure, I think too.
Speaker 2: We've had each of you on individually, but having you
Speaker 2: both on collectively, like you guys had us on and
Speaker 2: you know, taught to the audience about our story, Like
Speaker 2: I would like to ask how you guys kind of
Speaker 2: got everything rolling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I met with like his perspective.
Speaker 5: Because he was still playing right or you were playing? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: so from the podcast, should we should pin that till
Speaker 5: we gets back so they can bounce off each other though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'll tell you my side is well. He
Speaker 1: got drafted by the Penguins fifth overall, a year or
Speaker 1: two after I was drafted fourth round, so we ended
Speaker 1: up in the same organization. He played a lot more
Speaker 1: in the NHL, but the first year that had cracked
Speaker 1: the lineup, I got to play. You know, uh. I
Speaker 1: was there for twenty six games, so got to hang
Speaker 1: out with him and like never really connected with him
Speaker 1: that much in training camp, but he just this fucking
Speaker 1: silly bastard from Boston, and through that short period of
Speaker 1: time we connected, he ended up getting traded off. I
Speaker 1: played with his good friend keith yandall we kind of
Speaker 1: kept in touch and then somehow ended up on a
Speaker 1: PTO together, like a player tryout in Saint Louis towards
Speaker 1: the back half of our career, when I never played
Speaker 1: another NHL game after that that prior season. So we
Speaker 1: were there on the PTO and we were just going
Speaker 1: to every meal together and hanging out and going out
Speaker 1: to the bar and having some beers, and we talked
Speaker 1: about this concept of creating a show together where you'd
Speaker 1: show up to the arena with your hockey bag, you'd
Speaker 1: crack it open in the hockey locker room and you'd
Speaker 1: have a six pack. You'd never eventually put your gear on,
Speaker 1: you just sit there and tell stories and you'd have
Speaker 1: different guests on it. We thought the idea of like
Speaker 1: a YouTube show. So fast forward. I was still playing
Speaker 1: for another three years he retired, and he tweeted out like, hey,
Speaker 1: how about starting a podcast with a couple guys, one
Speaker 1: of me being on it. And I messaged him, I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hang them up yet, and I can't
Speaker 1: start a podcast because I know how I am and
Speaker 1: I'll let it fly and I'll be fucking getting snipped
Speaker 1: before I know it. And he started one with with
Speaker 1: rear Admiral and then Grenelly hopped on board, and by
Speaker 1: the time I retired and then did a film project
Speaker 1: and got one year of media under my belt and
Speaker 1: had been a guest on their show spitting Chicklets, he
Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, Like I talked to Greanell, I
Speaker 1: talked to ra and we think that because you've been
Speaker 1: on in such a popular guest, you should come on
Speaker 1: full time. And it was the original idea, like you
Speaker 1: were one of the original guys, and so I'm like, yeah, like,
Speaker 1: And by the time I finished that first season and
Speaker 1: had that under my belt of doing radio color commentary
Speaker 1: for the Coyotes, I agreed to it, and the rest
Speaker 1: is history. I'd already had a Twitter base of a
Speaker 1: million people. So I also thought because I was comfortable
Speaker 1: on the mic and I already had an audience, it
Speaker 1: kind of just helped it grow that much more significantly
Speaker 1: right off the hop, where all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: people who were following me on Twitter like, oh, this
Speaker 1: guy's got a mic in his hands now all the
Speaker 1: time and he's letting it fly about anything. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: go listen to that. So I think at the time
Speaker 1: they were averaging probably what like thirty to fIF fifty
Speaker 1: thousand listeners per I have no idea. Yeah, and it was,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it just we gained momentum.
Speaker 1: And then after getting maybe one hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 1: listeners on average, we were able to get our former
Speaker 1: teammate in Pittsburgh, Crosby in Halifax, and then we got
Speaker 1: Nathan McKinnon on that same trip. So we had these
Speaker 1: big milestone moments along with creating more vertical brands like
Speaker 1: the Sandbagger, and it's just evolved over the last I
Speaker 1: think it's been six and or seven years, at least
Speaker 1: seven since I retired. So it's been magical and it's
Speaker 1: been unreal, and it's been a fun ride, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: like we get to stay around the game and have
Speaker 1: a purpose when we wake up every day, like we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, like bringing these awesome interviews and getting
Speaker 1: to talk to these awesome guys and bringing the fans
Speaker 1: a more exclusive inside look, like feeding what they want.
Speaker 1: So that was my rendition of how it all went down,
Speaker 1: And I don't know what you'd have to say about it, Whitty,
Speaker 1: now that you're the back.
Speaker 7: I told this story on the first time I came
Speaker 7: on the bus. It's pretty much exactly the same thing.
Speaker 7: And it's like timings everything. Every time I meet somebody
Speaker 7: that asked about the pod, it's like timings everything in life.
Speaker 7: You gotta get lucky podcasts. As this thing began, I
Speaker 7: didn't even know what a podcast was.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 7: They were so early. Did you try to start it now?
Speaker 7: It's just not you know, it's not the same, Like
Speaker 7: we were lucky. We were not gonna say we were first,
Speaker 7: but we were early on So timings everything. He retires,
Speaker 7: he doesn't get into in it right away, and like
Speaker 7: who knows, Like then I started with Ra right maybe
Speaker 7: he wouldn't have been in it had he already been retired,
Speaker 7: So like boom, then you got Ra involved in it.
Speaker 7: Then the way we met Grnelly, our audio broke. Me
Speaker 7: and Ra one of the episodes, sat this close to
Speaker 7: each other, shared a microphone and the audio ended up breaking.
Speaker 4: Or that might have been a different story. Either way,
Speaker 4: Ra got an email that night.
Speaker 1: No, he'd gotten it a few weeks prior and ignored it.
Speaker 1: And then and then whatever the receiver system already had
Speaker 1: it was janky. It was Ra and like you know,
Speaker 1: he just had it at his house like this was
Speaker 1: MO and pop style, right, and when when it broke,
Speaker 1: they the episode was obviously wasted. They've been talking into
Speaker 1: a mic for fifty minutes and nothing was being recorded.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm sure Witt was thrilled. But that's when
Speaker 1: Ora was like, oh, that kid reached out and then boom,
Speaker 1: like Garnell got the opportunity. Nice and he's the and
Speaker 1: and Grenell's evolved and learned so much and it's just
Speaker 1: been an incredible experience. And like Witt said, very much
Speaker 1: a timing thing because podcasts weren't that popular. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying we were the first hockey podcast, but
Speaker 1: we were the first one that I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of people had heard of, just because of the
Speaker 1: reach that we had, and and also chemistry was important
Speaker 1: and fucked me, you know, being in Saint Louis hanging
Speaker 1: out with you, I think that we kind of understood
Speaker 1: that we were very much alike. Yeah, and I I
Speaker 1: played with Keith Yandel, who played a thousand, over a
Speaker 1: thousand games. He's the iron Man, another funny bastard from Boston.
Speaker 1: We're going to get him more involved on our podcast
Speaker 1: this year, and I think he's.
Speaker 7: One of my closest friends from home. Yeah, that then
Speaker 7: played with this and they became buddies. So I also
Speaker 7: he had been such good friends with Keith and I
Speaker 7: had met him first, and then we get in Saint Louis.
Speaker 7: I'm like, we just like we're true good friends and
Speaker 7: so it's like this makes it a lot easier. We
Speaker 7: also have honest conversations with each other too, Like you guys,
Speaker 7: I'm sure it's like that's being like good friends, like
Speaker 7: you got to be honest about everything, and we have
Speaker 7: been for the show and for like us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also like moving forward, it's it would
Speaker 1: we talked about the building vertical, like like we've done
Speaker 1: We've done game notes where Kobe Armstrong and Merles two
Speaker 1: of our buddies who we also used to play with
Speaker 1: in the Pittsburgh system. Like Army was already doing media
Speaker 1: and television. Merles kind of got into it from the
Speaker 1: gambling side. But it's awesome and and brings a whole
Speaker 1: different opinion and flare to So they have their own
Speaker 1: like sister podcasts, and they're going to keep evolving, like
Speaker 1: i Yan's is gonna get more involved with us where
Speaker 1: maybe when Kevin Hayes his best friend another player retires,
Speaker 1: they kind of come on board and we kind of
Speaker 1: want to make We kind of want to make it
Speaker 1: where we're all just snapping it around and get to
Speaker 1: travel around together and we just have this awesome whack
Speaker 1: pack where we're kind of back on a team. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not just me with r A and Grenelle, where
Speaker 1: there might be stories or relationships or experiences that Kobe
Speaker 1: Armstrong merles Yans have that are going to be different
Speaker 1: than us, and we want the hockey fans and fans
Speaker 1: of any sport to to embrace all of it. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I would like to see it
Speaker 1: continue to branch out and grow. But for the most part,
Speaker 1: everything we got going on right now, I couldn't be
Speaker 1: more thrilled about. That was a long That was a
Speaker 1: very long winded answer about what we go on.
Speaker 5: It was interesting to get pictured like, damn, it's kind
Speaker 5: of dope what they're doing. Yeah, right, we see there's
Speaker 5: obviously a lot of.
Speaker 1: Similarities between you two and Will and I would you
Speaker 1: guys ever bring on other nflers like to like as
Speaker 1: a like a part of the West.
Speaker 2: With the Landing Walker. There's a locker room with this
Speaker 2: our gambling show. Okay, so bus on spots, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean we've definitely talked about stuff like that before,
Speaker 2: like scaling out the business and get out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that to me is like, you know, I was
Speaker 1: in a dark place when I when I my last
Speaker 1: year in the NHL. After I left that PTO, I
Speaker 1: didn't have a deal. I couldn't even get an American
Speaker 1: Hockey League deal, and I was like literally depressed on
Speaker 1: the couch to the point where like my muscles were sore,
Speaker 1: and I'd never been like that before. So to kind
Speaker 1: of get somebody in the LA organization to extend an
Speaker 1: olive branch and for me to go on and win
Speaker 1: a call their cup, I just kind of feel like
Speaker 1: I would want to keep doing that to my buddies
Speaker 1: and and and give them that opportunity to where they
Speaker 1: can do it and have something after hockey too. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cool. I think it's going to keep
Speaker 1: happening for us, and I really look forward to it.
Speaker 1: And like I said, I'm very grateful for everything we have.
Speaker 5: Would you ever want to coach?
Speaker 1: It sounds so it's funny you say that I was
Speaker 1: going to ask in this interview both of you, who
Speaker 1: do you think would make the better coach. I think
Speaker 1: that there's a possibility down the road that I would
Speaker 1: I would love to, But it's also like you got
Speaker 1: to start out at a lower level and by then
Speaker 1: at forty five fifty do I really want to ride
Speaker 1: the bus to all these games? Like I think after
Speaker 1: this is all said and done, I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: probably want to go chill. But you never know, I
Speaker 1: think that maybe would you win. I mean you are
Speaker 1: with your son.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my son's first year might like six turning seven.
Speaker 7: It's fun also at that age though it's tough, like
Speaker 7: you know, six and seven year olds. Eight year olds
Speaker 7: are not great listeners. But I would love someday like
Speaker 7: you get to like fifteen, sixteen and you see like legit,
Speaker 7: like passion for the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, high school like.
Speaker 7: This This is like a not a pipe dream, but
Speaker 7: such a long way from ever happening, but I could
Speaker 7: see myself liking it.
Speaker 4: NHL AHL pro no chance these coaches.
Speaker 1: You don't think you could be a D coach at
Speaker 1: BU or would you want to? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's something that would be really really cool to do.
Speaker 1: It would be really really I think that you could,
Speaker 1: but like.
Speaker 4: Not right now while I'm also doing this, but like someday.
Speaker 7: But yeah, that's that's something that's something that that that's sick.
Speaker 7: But that's like those are good coaches making a ton
Speaker 7: of money.
Speaker 1: They've done it their whole life. Like that's hard.
Speaker 7: High school you could more help out, maybe like because
Speaker 7: I played in the NHL, But that's also like all
Speaker 7: of a sudden, you go to a high school coach
Speaker 7: your son's trying out. You're like, hey, I'll help out
Speaker 7: coaches like buddy, take.
Speaker 1: A fucking you know. So I don't know, like do
Speaker 1: it for your kids.
Speaker 7: It's more like when they're a little older before they
Speaker 7: get into like high school hockey or something, would be cool.
Speaker 7: I actually said recently, like sometimes it's hard. They mentioned
Speaker 7: how young they are, but I'm like, I don't know
Speaker 7: if I want to do this, but you're like, you
Speaker 7: know what, I don't know anything about anything besides hockey,
Speaker 7: Like it was it was my life.
Speaker 4: It was, so I'm giving back to the game.
Speaker 7: If I got a bunch of young kids, and even
Speaker 7: one of them at the end of the season at
Speaker 7: eight years old, loves not just as a better player,
Speaker 7: but loves hockey like I'm giving back to the game
Speaker 7: and coach in the NHL. Coach in the NHL. You
Speaker 7: are watching video like you were describing all day long
Speaker 7: and the travel and it's it's.
Speaker 1: Not for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just constantly breaking stuff down. To answer your question, Biz,
Speaker 5: I think Will would be and not not just a
Speaker 5: good I think he'd be an elite coach.
Speaker 1: Wow your positions or.
Speaker 5: Like I think Will, Yeah, I think Will when it
Speaker 5: comes to the coaching category, I'm talking about real success.
Speaker 1: Where where he's managing all of the other coaches too.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, head coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So if you look at Will's career and I'll gass
Speaker 5: the boil up for a minute, don't get like neck
Speaker 5: up guy. Like the reason why Will made it so
Speaker 5: long in the league is it was because of what
Speaker 5: he was able to process in his brain. And he's
Speaker 5: taken all that and he does a great He's like
Speaker 5: a he does a very good job painting a picture
Speaker 5: for you. Even in telling stories or any type of situations.
Speaker 5: I know he can do that from a player standpoint,
Speaker 5: telling players where they need to have their eye coverages
Speaker 5: and stuff like that and really doesn't get like like
Speaker 5: he love like you, like you ever played were Wolf? No,
Speaker 5: you ever played their game Mafia. It's a card game
Speaker 5: where you're like, essentially there's two bad guys and the
Speaker 5: rest of us are trying to figure out who the
Speaker 5: bad guys are. It's like it's a game of strategy.
Speaker 5: Kid loves strategy, loves the game of risk, like understands
Speaker 5: like the chess pieces that have to be made likable
Speaker 5: cat easily easily could be.
Speaker 1: A would you do it? I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't want to play even battleship board game the
Speaker 4: way he's described.
Speaker 2: Player, we have some fun nice playing, Rick, I.
Speaker 1: Got a sure is that n h L.
Speaker 7: You've seen a lot of examples or maybe more examples
Speaker 7: of of of the grinder, of the guy who worked
Speaker 7: his dick off to get there and was maybe a
Speaker 7: fourth or a third line player. I'm not dogging you anyways,
Speaker 7: but those are the guys where it's like a superstar
Speaker 7: like Lukeley, not this is an example, but like maybe
Speaker 7: the game was so easy to him, it's harder to coach.
Speaker 7: Where's a lot of like third line nhlders that were
Speaker 7: smart and like not just superstars with their skill, they
Speaker 7: make the best coaches.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they understand.
Speaker 7: It's where you were, like you grinded right, like and
Speaker 7: you like had to know so much about the game
Speaker 7: to be successful, Like he's.
Speaker 2: Saying, yeah, no, that's a that's an interesting perspective.
Speaker 4: I could see you being a legendary high school football coaching.
Speaker 2: Coach on high school football. Listening to you talking about
Speaker 2: giving back to the game and stuff like coaching high
Speaker 2: school football would be so fun.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 2: Even the Little League the way he was just explaining
Speaker 2: the Little League kind of juiced me up.
Speaker 7: It's not even getting better, Like, yeah, if the kids
Speaker 7: way better in March and it's supposed September sick, but
Speaker 7: if he in March is like I'm love hockey, right,
Speaker 7: That's where you're like, dude.
Speaker 2: This is when you said that, it was like they
Speaker 2: love the game more, like they want to watch and
Speaker 2: consume it more because we look like that would fire
Speaker 2: you up. Yeah no, no, like that. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I would in college or if I've talked with
Speaker 2: Taylor about it, were.
Speaker 5: Talking, because oh, go ahead, will just say I ask
Speaker 5: the question.
Speaker 2: I would love to because it's at the highest level.
Speaker 2: And I do love like the strategy. I love like formulating,
Speaker 2: like learning defense, hearing from the coaches kind of teach it,
Speaker 2: see understanding what the weaknesses are, what do you want
Speaker 2: to show on offense? Like I love that stuff. I
Speaker 2: just don't know time commitment wise, if I necessarily, you know,
Speaker 2: should and need to do it. That's the thing because
Speaker 2: those guys you got to be all in and not that.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of them have great families, but the
Speaker 2: family life to me just doesn't.
Speaker 4: NFL.
Speaker 7: NFL is not to hear about head coaches and you
Speaker 7: hear about like they don't see their families.
Speaker 5: And we even as players like you, you have hardly
Speaker 5: any time of the season and their hours.
Speaker 2: Are way yeah, there are than ours.
Speaker 5: Like for me, there is zero, Like I have zero
Speaker 5: aspiration to be anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And part of that is probably like I have
Speaker 4: a lot of money, and.
Speaker 1: It's like.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm sure I don't know what I don't you
Speaker 5: know what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just have too many fucking o's in my bank account,
Speaker 1: and I'm tilky, there's not a Chicken Dick's chance I'm coaching.
Speaker 5: I just can't. I just can't see it. Man, to me,
Speaker 5: it's like if you're able, Yeah, there's probably a piece
Speaker 5: of that. I get infatuated with the idea of so
Speaker 5: many other other avenues of life to live to where like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I've done football, I wonder what else I could be
Speaker 5: really good at it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm like. That's why. That's why, like
Speaker 1: you ask about coaching, it would be it would be
Speaker 1: another challenge and I would like to. But there's also
Speaker 1: a lot of other things in this world that I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna want to try to go do when
Speaker 1: I'm like when I'm forty five to fifty and then retire.
Speaker 1: I might, but then you might get bored of that
Speaker 1: too and then come back to what you know, But like,
Speaker 1: what are some other things that you would like to explore?
Speaker 1: Like I would like to get one of those those
Speaker 1: earth roamers and like go drive just through South America
Speaker 1: and like go hiking and go like like a year
Speaker 1: trip where you just kind of dial out and get
Speaker 1: the fuck away. Once we would retire from being on
Speaker 1: like this every day on fucking Twitter, all the full
Speaker 1: and all the business, and then like would you want
Speaker 1: to eventually just kind of like check out for like
Speaker 1: a year's time where you're like fuck off phone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and especial like that, No, no desire.
Speaker 4: I I think I checked out of the phone and stuff.
Speaker 4: But I would never want to just.
Speaker 1: Like travel for a year, Yeah for a year.
Speaker 4: I like being home, like I love going on a couple.
Speaker 1: Well, you would be you'd just be living out of
Speaker 1: an r V.
Speaker 4: It's so basically I don't want to live in your earth.
Speaker 1: Would you ever do something like that?
Speaker 5: I probably would.
Speaker 1: It's weird, seem like more of a while. Man.
Speaker 5: It's weird because we were in Montana this year. We
Speaker 5: were doing me Either. It's like it's a hunting podcast me.
Speaker 5: Will and JP sat and had a conversation about like
Speaker 5: we're in this we're in Bozeman, but like this kind
Speaker 5: of local spot in Bozeman, and everything's slower, everything's moving
Speaker 5: way slower, pain And we're having this conversation like, hey,
Speaker 5: wouldn't it be sick to essentially tell yourself it's okay
Speaker 5: to slow down? And Will was having like aspirations that
Speaker 5: JP was, and I was like, no, like I want
Speaker 5: to keep fucking going, like like I I couldn't see
Speaker 5: myself doing it. And then this summer I went to
Speaker 5: Canada with my wife and it was the first time
Speaker 5: in my adult life that I sat back and I
Speaker 5: was like, this is fucking nice. This is nice, Like
Speaker 5: this is actually I don't got I don't have to
Speaker 5: do anything. I'm hanging out and taking my kids to
Speaker 5: do x Y and Z. I talked about my seven
Speaker 5: year old how I walked in her room when she's
Speaker 5: like getting stuff, and you just kind of realized, like
Speaker 5: they're just getting older and it's happening because I do
Speaker 5: have I there's a piece of me that would love
Speaker 5: to go into the entertainment aspect to see if I
Speaker 5: could act.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love doing I love doing.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, alute, I can do it. You know, actually
Speaker 5: want to. I want to hit Shorty because it's like
Speaker 5: my one of my favorite shows.
Speaker 1: You want to get a cameo on there?
Speaker 5: I would, yeah, absolutely, But all that to be said,
Speaker 5: like after that trip in Canada, I was like, you
Speaker 5: know what I want to do is I want to
Speaker 5: be able to, like when we hang it up, like
Speaker 5: just be like the ultimate dad and get my pilots license,
Speaker 5: get a small little plane, rip the family, able to
Speaker 5: rip around, just go rip around and kind of do whatever. Like,
Speaker 5: if I can mentally get to that state, I think
Speaker 5: that's the best. That is a way of growth. That
Speaker 5: is you want to we can all go. We've all
Speaker 5: put ourselves in a position to go achieve any goal
Speaker 5: we want because we've you know, we have the financial
Speaker 5: freedom and now we get to do this and this
Speaker 5: opens more and more doors. But the ability to say
Speaker 5: no and being.
Speaker 1: Like that is what I'm trying to learn. Yeah, that's where.
Speaker 5: Mentally is Like, I really enjoyed that time. I really
Speaker 5: had a great time with my family. I thought that
Speaker 5: was so awesome. I was like, how do I expand
Speaker 5: on that more and kind of like just fully immerse
Speaker 5: myself in that you feel yourself always chasing something whatever,
Speaker 5: whatever thing.
Speaker 4: I don't have that feeling. You're good.
Speaker 1: It's really good about balance.
Speaker 4: At all, and I think sometimes would be helpful to
Speaker 4: have it more.
Speaker 5: Oh we lost the camera, so well.
Speaker 2: Oh that's okay, So yeah, get the twist the question.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well the twisted question. But I want to I
Speaker 5: want to talk for a second cause I've never watched it.
Speaker 5: Yeah about that, guys, So yeah, Shorzy Ari obviously was
Speaker 5: in the last two seasons. Have you guys been reached
Speaker 5: out to it all about being on that show.
Speaker 1: No, So I actually got asked to do Letter Kenny
Speaker 1: early days. Yeah, and I got the role of like
Speaker 1: basically I was just like ripping lines and I was
Speaker 1: a maniac and so basically myself a method actor. Uh,
Speaker 1: at least at that time.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then the Coyotes. It was my first year and
Speaker 1: I hadn't even been on the podcast yet, and I
Speaker 1: put it across my my boss's desk and he said, no,
Speaker 1: you can't. Like the team would basically fire me and
Speaker 1: then I'd be out of a job. So, uh, that
Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity. And then they kind of just
Speaker 1: never really came back up because they had to spin
Speaker 1: off show. But fortunately for a guy Terry Ryan, who
Speaker 1: we have on the podcast all time, he's ten hitchcock.
Speaker 5: Oh for real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that Jared Keisho kind of learned
Speaker 1: the legend of Terry Ryan through our podcast. I may
Speaker 1: be mistaken, that's at least what Terry Ryan says. So
Speaker 1: there have been people from our podcast, including Ora, who
Speaker 1: have touched the show. I would be honored to be asked.
Speaker 1: I don't know what my character or what I would
Speaker 1: do on it. But yeah, I would, I would love
Speaker 1: to do that. And what's good too. We did that
Speaker 1: McDavid commercial for body Armor and you were fucking ten
Speaker 1: out of ten and you're really good at ad libbing.
Speaker 7: No, we did a Pink Whitney commercial that played like
Speaker 7: during the NHL playoffs I'm talking time three times a
Speaker 7: game for four months and people.
Speaker 1: Were like, yeah, get these guys off my fucking.
Speaker 4: I remember it was it was it was probably Buddy
Speaker 4: that was the line.
Speaker 2: That was the line game, but that was the line.
Speaker 1: But three or four times every single game all playoffs,
Speaker 1: people wanted me dead. People wanted me dead.
Speaker 5: There's a huge there's a huge miss for you not
Speaker 5: well then not reaching out to you about shores. He's
Speaker 5: like being a legitimate part of that cast. No, but
Speaker 5: my whole thing was washed up, like washed up hockey players. Yeah,
Speaker 5: just let's bring a bunch of vets, savvy vets in
Speaker 5: and have him play.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I I just it just didn't work out
Speaker 1: for timing.
Speaker 5: I don't think it was football players, hockey players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know where. Yeah, it just didn't work out.
Speaker 1: But they've done such a good job, like Jeri Kiso
Speaker 1: is a legend and like he lives up I think
Speaker 1: north of Montreal, with his with his wife. I think
Speaker 1: he's got a kid or two. And he just writes
Speaker 1: these scripts and he has his own team and he
Speaker 1: executes it. Like there's so much time and energy that
Speaker 1: goes into that ship. And and I think that they
Speaker 1: just signed a deal where they're going to be doing
Speaker 1: at least two or three more seasons after this one
Speaker 1: they're currently filming. So he's a he's a g his uh,
Speaker 1: his talent, his creativity is Oh yeah, it all spun
Speaker 1: off act star. I think the world the jerkys are
Speaker 1: Have you met him, No, but I just from him
Speaker 1: and his craft. Oh he would love it. He would
Speaker 1: love you. I bet you he would give you a
Speaker 1: part in the show.
Speaker 5: I want to earn it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 2: the new game Time picks. What time is it? Let's
Speaker 2: see that again?
Speaker 1: What time is that?
Speaker 5: For some dumb but oh also, what is the vibe
Speaker 5: in Canada looking at hockey players in America?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Like now?
Speaker 7: Now, it was starting, but in like the seventies, there
Speaker 7: was not much and then all of a sudden, this
Speaker 7: generation of players in the NFL came in. Yeah, not
Speaker 7: even then though, like that in nineteen eighty that it's
Speaker 7: because the NHL was mostly Canadian stars, you know.
Speaker 4: And you say, hockey just built and.
Speaker 1: Welded and built and the growth of it in the
Speaker 1: United States, where all of a sudden, like Dallas, when
Speaker 1: did Dallas get there? Around like ninety seven, ninety eight, right,
Speaker 1: maybe ninety five, So all of a sudden, now that
Speaker 1: they have a youth program, they have former players that
Speaker 1: loved no state tax, made all this money down there,
Speaker 1: and they get to live in a nice place in
Speaker 1: the States. Well they're helping coach now. So it's just
Speaker 1: like there's just so many more American kids playing and
Speaker 1: who have access to the game and access to even
Speaker 1: unreal Canadians who ended up selling settling down the States.
Speaker 1: So I would say that going into the next Olympics,
Speaker 1: it's a coin toss, like it could be US or
Speaker 1: Canada who wins. We have McDavid, we have McKinnon, we
Speaker 1: have cal mccarr, but the state still has guys like
Speaker 1: Matthews and Jack Hughes.
Speaker 7: So yeah, they probably have like highest end talent. They
Speaker 7: got the guys, three or four of them. Then we
Speaker 7: have maybe one person right there, two people. But then
Speaker 7: when you go after that the depth, we're right there.
Speaker 1: That's right there.
Speaker 7: They have McDavid and they have McKinnon, and they have
Speaker 7: Crosby you know, Crosby's older, but McDavid and McKinnon. We
Speaker 7: have Matthews, but they got two of them. Yeah, so
Speaker 7: it's it's amazing though, and now it's it's it's going
Speaker 7: to be six in Italy. We're gonna try to go
Speaker 7: and cover it. First Best on Best tournament in the
Speaker 7: Olympics since twenty fourteen. So all of these stars for
Speaker 7: the past ten years have never played in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Crosby, it's coming back. Have never have never played
Speaker 1: together on team Canada Best on Best and they'll have
Speaker 1: the opportunity at the Four Nations which is this year.
Speaker 1: It's almost like a like a precursor to reintroduce Best
Speaker 1: on Best. There's only four teams, which sucks. But the Olympics,
Speaker 1: especially if they get Russia back in the men they
Speaker 1: need Russia. I don't give me. I don't care if
Speaker 1: they're cheating, I don't care if they're shoving needles up
Speaker 1: there are put them in the Olympics. You just need them.
Speaker 7: You win the Best on Best Olympic gold medal. And
Speaker 7: like Russia's best team isn't in there. It's a little
Speaker 7: bit of an asterisk.
Speaker 5: Where's Russia ranking.
Speaker 4: They're always a top four, top four, Yeah, top five.
Speaker 5: So just give me the top five, re quick. So
Speaker 5: it's Canada, America, Sweden, Finland, Russia. Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia.
Speaker 1: And then you does the top five. Funck off is
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Oh?
Speaker 4: I thought you were saying the US was fifth.
Speaker 1: No, no, not in that order. Those are the five. No,
Speaker 1: absolutely not.
Speaker 7: But Czech Republic's very good, Slovaki is getting better, Austria
Speaker 7: has some players, Germany's getting better players. There's Norway has
Speaker 7: ak Denmark has a couple of players. So it's growing.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 7: It's never gonna be in South America. It's never be
Speaker 7: in Africa. It's never gonna be like soccer. I mean
Speaker 7: football is kind of similar. You're actually mostly North America, right,
Speaker 7: We're pretty much we're Hockey is a global game, but
Speaker 7: there are some areas that will just never happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wonder why the money is not bigger in hockey.
Speaker 5: It's because it is.
Speaker 1: More global TV.
Speaker 4: Because TV it's not it's.
Speaker 1: Not transferable exactly the NFL, but it's going up. It's
Speaker 1: going you have more people, it's going all over the world.
Speaker 1: Watch putting a game on it post to Amazon's gonna
Speaker 1: end up picking up full time. I'd imagine like we
Speaker 1: have sports also sports that in Canada we have TSN
Speaker 1: and can TNT, ESPN, and who knows, maybe there's eventually
Speaker 1: another American network that does it's it's uh Gary Bettman,
Speaker 1: and the NHL is doing it a better job of it,
Speaker 1: giving it exposure. So I think revenues are going to
Speaker 1: continue to soar, and I think the league is in
Speaker 1: the best place it's ever been, and you're going to
Speaker 1: see growth everywhere, I think exponentially in the United States
Speaker 1: in the next ten to fifteen years. And I think
Speaker 1: that there's a strong chance that they they end up
Speaker 1: taking over as the top hockey nation, although it might
Speaker 1: not be the most popular sport in the country. Canadians
Speaker 1: might sculd me for saying that, but it comes down
Speaker 1: to population resources. The university programs are getting better, they're
Speaker 1: i think opening up. Anyway, I'm getting a long winded
Speaker 1: with it. US is in good shape. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good pot. That was a great pub question. We
Speaker 1: have to pay the bill, pay the bill.
Speaker 5: Pay the bills. Twisted T. This is a twisted question.
Speaker 5: Twisted T is refreshing, hard ice Team made with real
Speaker 5: brew tea and five percent I call full of flavor
Speaker 5: and very refreshing. Twisted tea goes down smooth. There is
Speaker 5: no carbonation, what makes it easy to drink all day along.
Speaker 5: Twisted tea feels fun and celebrates extreme fandom on game day.
Speaker 5: It's a perfect alcohol slashed beverage for game day, whether
Speaker 5: your tail getting in a parking lot, watching at a bar,
Speaker 5: or watching with friends at home. Twisted Tea is there
Speaker 5: to turn up your game day. Keep it twisted. Grab
Speaker 5: a refreshing twisted tea today. This twisted question comes from
Speaker 5: Mitch Carsley. We had a nice little video for us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a nice little video to stick down
Speaker 2: and twisted tea.
Speaker 5: Obviously, if you're watching on YouTube you'll be able to
Speaker 5: and we we've all had a long day.
Speaker 8: Well what's up, boys, it's Mitch. I'm here with your
Speaker 8: twisted question. We got three this week for you. Kind
Speaker 8: of pick your choosing, but we wanted we wanted to
Speaker 8: keep this segment going and me stereotypically having the bad questions,
Speaker 8: I gotta deliver. So first question, what sport is more physical?
Speaker 8: Hockey or football? We got spin and chickle guys. We
Speaker 8: got you guys, kind of pick your which one's more physical?
Speaker 8: The second one? Who would you rather fight on ice?
Speaker 8: Mike Tyson who can who can skate? Or a mountain
Speaker 8: lion that has never been on ice before but you
Speaker 8: know they're scrappy. Final question, and I think this might
Speaker 8: be the best one. Are there more eyes or are
Speaker 8: there more legs in the world? And this includes animals?
Speaker 8: Which one do you think there are more of?
Speaker 1: Those? Are your twisted questions for this week.
Speaker 2: First question is what do you think is more physical?
Speaker 1: Way? More physical?
Speaker 5: Hockeyer?
Speaker 2: Football?
Speaker 1: Football a two games, more of a grind in a sense,
Speaker 1: but yes, football.
Speaker 5: I think we're all in consensus. There next one Mike
Speaker 5: Tyson or Mike Tyson that can skate or fight at
Speaker 5: cougar that has never.
Speaker 1: Been a nice one.
Speaker 4: I would like to I choose the cougar.
Speaker 7: Sounds crazy, but I hopefully he keeps slipping on ice,
Speaker 7: like if you tight turn, maybe at some point he
Speaker 7: wears you down. But if Tyson can fly and catch you,
Speaker 7: he's gonna kill you.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess you could just kind of keep skating
Speaker 1: away from the it's a mountain lion, Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: I'll just keep fucking juking it. It will tire of
Speaker 1: it out and eventually kind of quick and.
Speaker 5: You can start using them skates his weapons to eventually.
Speaker 1: True, that's true.
Speaker 5: I take the Mountain Lion as well. And then what
Speaker 5: was the third question?
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 5: Yeah, animals.
Speaker 4: I know I was thinking eyes to because they have
Speaker 4: legs and eyes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think yeah, because flies got shiploads of eyes.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 1: We we have to pick guy.
Speaker 5: Consensus all around, boys. I hope you enjoy great episode. Everyone, guys,
Speaker 5: please check out spit Chickens podcast. They fight gems every
