Speaker 2: Look this whole toy we got from the Atlanta Falcons.

34
00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:36,748
Speaker 2: It's so lovely, this little Mario Kart looking things. So

35
00:01:36,788 --> 00:01:39,348
Speaker 2: the Falcons and the Cardinals have given us a gift,

36
00:01:39,348 --> 00:01:40,628
Speaker 2: and we're about to give you a gift in the

37
00:01:40,668 --> 00:01:41,548
Speaker 2: form of television.

38
00:01:41,708 --> 00:01:44,268
Speaker 3: We're gonna play a game called split Decision. I'm gonna

39
00:01:44,268 --> 00:01:44,508
Speaker 3: put my.

40
00:01:44,508 --> 00:01:47,788
Speaker 2: Little crops down here and we have, as we mentioned,

41
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:52,348
Speaker 2: laminated versions of these guys face on in their hands,

42
00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:54,268
Speaker 2: and then they have to make a decision about the

43
00:01:54,308 --> 00:01:57,388
Speaker 2: following topics. We're going to start late season. We're not

44
00:01:57,428 --> 00:02:00,188
Speaker 2: looking at Week one, We're looking at Week sixteen and seventeen.

45
00:02:00,468 --> 00:02:03,428
Speaker 2: These games will have major impacts on the postseason or

46
00:02:03,428 --> 00:02:06,628
Speaker 2: what we just watched on first one of these matchups,

47
00:02:06,628 --> 00:02:08,508
Speaker 2: you have to make a choice which will have the

48
00:02:08,508 --> 00:02:14,908
Speaker 2: greater impact, okay, larger playoff implication MANSI split decision when

49
00:02:14,908 --> 00:02:17,988
Speaker 2: you look at Week sixteen, the Phillduphi Eagles and the

50
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:21,148
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders playing each other Week sixteen, or the Packers

51
00:02:21,148 --> 00:02:23,748
Speaker 2: and the Bears, which will have a larger playoff implication.

52
00:02:24,188 --> 00:02:25,988
Speaker 5: Week sixteen is the key for me.

53
00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:28,628
Speaker 6: When I look at the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders,

54
00:02:28,628 --> 00:02:30,348
Speaker 6: they're one of the best, two of the best teams

55
00:02:30,348 --> 00:02:33,028
Speaker 6: in the NFC Division, So I'm going to already think

56
00:02:33,068 --> 00:02:34,668
Speaker 6: that they're going to be in a playoff, probably just

57
00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:38,388
Speaker 6: fighting for seeding. It is the Green Bay Packers and

58
00:02:38,468 --> 00:02:39,988
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bears that.

59
00:02:41,468 --> 00:02:43,628
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna put it right here. If the Green

60
00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:44,748
Speaker 5: Bay Packers.

61
00:02:44,348 --> 00:02:46,748
Speaker 6: And the Chicago Bears that I'm looking at, why because

62
00:02:46,788 --> 00:02:49,428
Speaker 6: if we think about the NFC North, right we think

63
00:02:49,468 --> 00:02:51,548
Speaker 6: about the division, that's it's kind.

64
00:02:51,348 --> 00:02:52,828
Speaker 5: Of all just like some gumbo.

65
00:02:52,868 --> 00:02:55,588
Speaker 6: It's all mixed up, everybody's in one space, and you

66
00:02:55,588 --> 00:02:57,628
Speaker 6: guys know, playing this game, when you're in a division

67
00:02:57,668 --> 00:03:00,388
Speaker 6: where all the teams are kind of the same, being

68
00:03:00,428 --> 00:03:02,668
Speaker 6: a division winner is crucial.

69
00:03:03,228 --> 00:03:06,308
Speaker 5: So I think that in weeks sixteen, these two teams.

70
00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:07,908
Speaker 6: Are going to be two Thank you, sister, are going

71
00:03:07,988 --> 00:03:10,068
Speaker 6: to be two teams that's gonna be fighting for that

72
00:03:10,108 --> 00:03:13,388
Speaker 6: playoff spot at NFC Nord Championship, probably in week sixteen.

73
00:03:14,228 --> 00:03:16,388
Speaker 3: Well, I have kids, so I can practice on.

74
00:03:18,788 --> 00:03:21,188
Speaker 7: Sticky right here, We're gonna do it. Marin time.

75
00:03:21,188 --> 00:03:23,708
Speaker 8: I will go and agree with you when it comes

76
00:03:23,788 --> 00:03:26,348
Speaker 8: down to what game it is important?

77
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:28,668
Speaker 7: Hold on, I fixed my teeth, by the way. What

78
00:03:28,788 --> 00:03:32,508
Speaker 7: game is? This is the game right here? Were you

79
00:03:32,588 --> 00:03:36,188
Speaker 7: talking about them? See look at that.

80
00:03:36,788 --> 00:03:43,988
Speaker 8: Anybody this we come down to it. I was drafted

81
00:03:43,988 --> 00:03:46,508
Speaker 8: by Green Bay, I understand it. But this game right here,

82
00:03:46,588 --> 00:03:50,148
Speaker 8: the rivalry game. There's always something against green Bay and

83
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,988
Speaker 8: the Bear. The Bear are always hoping to beat them,

84
00:03:53,028 --> 00:03:54,668
Speaker 8: but they will knock them out if they have a

85
00:03:54,708 --> 00:03:56,268
Speaker 8: continuer and they got to face each other.

86
00:03:56,668 --> 00:03:57,588
Speaker 7: I don't know. It's just me.

87
00:03:57,748 --> 00:04:01,028
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna favor for green Bay right Week sixteen.

88
00:04:01,268 --> 00:04:06,428
Speaker 1: Playoffs mean playoffs implications. I have to go with the Commanders.

89
00:04:06,468 --> 00:04:08,828
Speaker 1: I gotta go with the Eagles. And the reason why

90
00:04:09,348 --> 00:04:12,108
Speaker 1: is because these two teams are premier teams.

91
00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:13,148
Speaker 9: They are going to be.

92
00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:16,788
Speaker 4: The NFC is is going to be a little bit difficult.

93
00:04:16,868 --> 00:04:19,588
Speaker 1: Then most people want to give obvis to this year,

94
00:04:19,668 --> 00:04:22,828
Speaker 1: and I think one of these teams may have a flop.

95
00:04:23,148 --> 00:04:25,708
Speaker 1: I just am surprised which one is gonna be now

96
00:04:25,868 --> 00:04:29,588
Speaker 1: May twentieth. Again, if the Competition Committee, y'all have to

97
00:04:29,668 --> 00:04:30,148
Speaker 1: understand this.

98
00:04:30,268 --> 00:04:32,228
Speaker 4: If they get rid of the push touch, which.

99
00:04:32,068 --> 00:04:37,548
Speaker 1: Is ninety seven percent of their offense on the fourth down,

100
00:04:37,628 --> 00:04:41,108
Speaker 1: converting disappears, I don't know what kind of team we're

101
00:04:41,108 --> 00:04:41,708
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at.

102
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:42,628
Speaker 4: Yes, the greater offense.

103
00:04:42,628 --> 00:04:44,868
Speaker 1: They lost a lot of their defensive players, but look

104
00:04:44,908 --> 00:04:47,308
Speaker 1: for the commanders to take over as.

105
00:04:47,228 --> 00:04:51,228
Speaker 2: We reset on our split decision week seventeen. Just real quick,

106
00:04:51,268 --> 00:04:53,948
Speaker 2: you keep referencing the Toush push, but we haven't heard

107
00:04:54,028 --> 00:04:55,988
Speaker 2: how you would vote if you were in on that

108
00:04:56,108 --> 00:04:57,628
Speaker 2: Competition committee conversation.

109
00:04:57,788 --> 00:04:59,468
Speaker 10: Oh, if I was on the table, I'm getting rid

110
00:04:59,508 --> 00:04:59,748
Speaker 10: of it.

111
00:05:00,108 --> 00:05:01,268
Speaker 4: I'm definitely getting rid of it.

112
00:05:01,308 --> 00:05:02,668
Speaker 5: For many of different reasons.

113
00:05:03,348 --> 00:05:05,548
Speaker 4: One I'm by if I'm a running back, Yeah, give

114
00:05:05,588 --> 00:05:07,308
Speaker 4: the ball to the running back, let him be.

115
00:05:07,468 --> 00:05:09,788
Speaker 1: Do you know what save Pat Barkley would have done

116
00:05:09,828 --> 00:05:13,348
Speaker 1: this year had he just handed the ball off to him,

117
00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:16,148
Speaker 1: he would have both every record, every single look.

118
00:05:16,268 --> 00:05:18,708
Speaker 4: So get rid of the push to us because it's

119
00:05:18,708 --> 00:05:20,108
Speaker 4: not even fair for the defense of guys.

120
00:05:20,148 --> 00:05:23,308
Speaker 7: Y'all can't do it.

121
00:05:22,628 --> 00:05:25,348
Speaker 4: Stat guys and roll behind, So no, get rid of it.

122
00:05:25,548 --> 00:05:25,908
Speaker 7: That's man.

123
00:05:25,908 --> 00:05:28,628
Speaker 1: Don't played football like we always have played. Nah, yeah

124
00:05:28,668 --> 00:05:31,308
Speaker 1: they are, but I just don't like it. Okay, I

125
00:05:31,348 --> 00:05:31,748
Speaker 1: just don't like it.

126
00:05:31,788 --> 00:05:33,588
Speaker 2: For the right you have heard it was a good

127
00:05:33,668 --> 00:05:36,548
Speaker 2: pitch by a running back. Of course, apparently we call

128
00:05:36,628 --> 00:05:38,268
Speaker 2: something else if a running back is getting the ball

129
00:05:38,308 --> 00:05:40,628
Speaker 2: handed off and then they push them through. Everybody, collect

130
00:05:40,668 --> 00:05:43,028
Speaker 2: your faces and we're going to reset for Week seventeen.

131
00:05:43,308 --> 00:05:45,868
Speaker 2: It is a Christmas Day triple header. You got two

132
00:05:45,908 --> 00:05:48,948
Speaker 2: on Netflix and one on Prime Video out of these

133
00:05:49,068 --> 00:05:49,828
Speaker 2: three games.

134
00:05:49,868 --> 00:05:51,428
Speaker 3: Now, this makes it even harder.

135
00:05:51,948 --> 00:05:56,828
Speaker 2: Which matchup will have larger playoff implications? Again, as Rashad

136
00:05:56,948 --> 00:05:59,388
Speaker 2: just so eloquently said, the NFC East is going to

137
00:05:59,428 --> 00:06:02,508
Speaker 2: have questions. The NFC North is an absolutely brutal place

138
00:06:02,548 --> 00:06:05,668
Speaker 2: to live. In the AFC West, so something cooking Man's

139
00:06:05,868 --> 00:06:07,068
Speaker 2: bigger playoff implication.

140
00:06:07,268 --> 00:06:07,428
Speaker 7: I know.

141
00:06:07,388 --> 00:06:09,628
Speaker 5: I'm a sister Jamie, She's gonna like this one.

142
00:06:10,268 --> 00:06:12,508
Speaker 6: We kind of talked about the Commanders already, but being

143
00:06:12,548 --> 00:06:16,988
Speaker 6: in AFC West, this division right here, the AFC I

144
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:20,148
Speaker 6: think has the best quarterbacks in this division. And I

145
00:06:20,188 --> 00:06:23,308
Speaker 6: think that what the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton has

146
00:06:23,348 --> 00:06:23,988
Speaker 6: been able to.

147
00:06:23,988 --> 00:06:25,988
Speaker 5: Do over the past two years.

148
00:06:25,828 --> 00:06:28,988
Speaker 6: With bow Knicks with all of their free agent signings,

149
00:06:29,108 --> 00:06:32,308
Speaker 6: Drake Greenlaw, halling Off, Hufonga, adding them to Patrick Sartin

150
00:06:32,428 --> 00:06:33,428
Speaker 6: and that defensive front.

151
00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:34,748
Speaker 5: I have a feeling on.

152
00:06:34,748 --> 00:06:37,468
Speaker 6: Christmas Day this is gonna be a fight for the

153
00:06:37,548 --> 00:06:41,788
Speaker 6: AFC West Championship right here between these two teams. And

154
00:06:42,308 --> 00:06:44,828
Speaker 6: it's just one of those playoff implications that I can't

155
00:06:44,868 --> 00:06:45,508
Speaker 6: wait to see.

156
00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:48,068
Speaker 4: I know I'm a boat, but I don't know about that.

157
00:06:48,228 --> 00:06:49,468
Speaker 5: Christmas.

158
00:06:51,868 --> 00:06:52,388
Speaker 7: That's a fight.

159
00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:57,308
Speaker 8: But ac West right here, Okay, I hear you won't

160
00:06:57,308 --> 00:07:00,348
Speaker 8: put it on there, but won't go with Christmas that

161
00:07:00,428 --> 00:07:03,468
Speaker 8: you gotta go with the risk taker right here Withing Campbell.

162
00:07:03,468 --> 00:07:05,388
Speaker 8: We don't know what he's going to do. Are you

163
00:07:05,428 --> 00:07:09,468
Speaker 8: talking about exciting football? That's exciting football? And with Brian

164
00:07:09,508 --> 00:07:12,348
Speaker 8: Floorest and when he's doing with their defense, bringing in

165
00:07:12,428 --> 00:07:16,428
Speaker 8: free agents, stacking them up with a young quarterback, what's

166
00:07:16,468 --> 00:07:17,788
Speaker 8: going to happen? I think this is going to be

167
00:07:17,788 --> 00:07:20,548
Speaker 8: the biggest implication of what's going who's going to do?

168
00:07:20,588 --> 00:07:23,668
Speaker 7: What are they gonna risk it all? And knock them off.

169
00:07:23,628 --> 00:07:25,788
Speaker 8: Or this season gonna go a little to Finnicky and

170
00:07:25,828 --> 00:07:28,148
Speaker 8: they're going to overtake them. We don't know, but all

171
00:07:28,188 --> 00:07:30,548
Speaker 8: I know is one thing. This is an exciting game.

172
00:07:30,588 --> 00:07:32,548
Speaker 8: I know Jamie's gonna be trying to be at this day.

173
00:07:32,628 --> 00:07:34,268
Speaker 7: Man, tig what.

174
00:07:34,228 --> 00:07:36,268
Speaker 8: You're trying to do, But this is gonna be the

175
00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:37,548
Speaker 8: game to watch.

176
00:07:37,308 --> 00:07:41,908
Speaker 6: On what we're talking about playff implications kind without any coordinators.

177
00:07:41,948 --> 00:07:45,348
Speaker 6: You're thinking that the Detroit Lions without both coordinators are gonna.

178
00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:47,548
Speaker 5: Be in playoff implications.

179
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:56,068
Speaker 2: Coordinators this new Okay, Okay, okay, it's going to happen.

180
00:07:56,348 --> 00:07:57,788
Speaker 7: Sean, what you got Yeah.

181
00:07:57,668 --> 00:07:59,388
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to piggyback off you.

182
00:07:59,468 --> 00:07:59,668
Speaker 7: Matt.

183
00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:01,468
Speaker 4: I'm definitely coming over here.

184
00:08:01,908 --> 00:08:05,188
Speaker 1: I like Kansas City, I like Dever showing the implication

185
00:08:05,268 --> 00:08:08,468
Speaker 1: for the playoffs. Denver has been one of them lightning

186
00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:11,828
Speaker 1: fire teams right here. What bo Nix has been able

187
00:08:11,868 --> 00:08:15,468
Speaker 1: to do Sean Payton kind of do not be surprised

188
00:08:15,668 --> 00:08:18,948
Speaker 1: if he's kind of the Drew Brees of the NFL now,

189
00:08:19,068 --> 00:08:21,828
Speaker 1: especially with Peyton being able to teach him all of

190
00:08:21,828 --> 00:08:24,908
Speaker 1: the things. Their defense is stout and remember last year,

191
00:08:25,068 --> 00:08:27,188
Speaker 1: how do they win this game. How many times are

192
00:08:27,228 --> 00:08:30,068
Speaker 1: we seeing a game one on my block field goal?

193
00:08:30,508 --> 00:08:32,588
Speaker 1: This is going to be a battle, and I think

194
00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:35,068
Speaker 1: this division is very tough as well. I think right

195
00:08:35,108 --> 00:08:37,948
Speaker 1: here sets the market on who gets the wildcard.

196
00:08:37,988 --> 00:08:40,028
Speaker 2: From a flexibility standpoint, there must have been a reason

197
00:08:40,028 --> 00:08:42,188
Speaker 2: why you were not a kicker that looked to beaul.

198
00:08:43,268 --> 00:08:46,428
Speaker 6: It's the two kids.

199
00:08:47,628 --> 00:08:49,628
Speaker 2: I can't believe that you didn't take the low hanging

200
00:08:49,628 --> 00:08:52,068
Speaker 2: fruit that you just said such great things about the

201
00:08:52,188 --> 00:08:53,828
Speaker 2: nfcas and how it's going to be a battle and

202
00:08:53,868 --> 00:08:55,948
Speaker 2: a competition, and you're not going to know what is

203
00:08:55,988 --> 00:08:57,988
Speaker 2: it about these two logos that don't think that this

204
00:08:58,028 --> 00:08:59,548
Speaker 2: is going to have playoff implications?

205
00:08:59,628 --> 00:09:02,668
Speaker 1: He can it's just that more so between these two

206
00:09:02,748 --> 00:09:05,428
Speaker 1: but without a shadow of a doubt one hundred percent

207
00:09:05,468 --> 00:09:07,508
Speaker 1: of the time. When you got CD Lamb and you

208
00:09:07,628 --> 00:09:10,988
Speaker 1: got George Pickens over here, right and you have Dak Prescott,

209
00:09:10,988 --> 00:09:13,428
Speaker 1: you've got the whole cowboy regime. And now who do

210
00:09:13,508 --> 00:09:15,348
Speaker 1: you have over here with the commanders? You got Debo

211
00:09:15,468 --> 00:09:18,028
Speaker 1: coming over, you got my guy to a scary terry

212
00:09:18,148 --> 00:09:21,588
Speaker 1: dominating the field. This will have some implications too, but

213
00:09:21,628 --> 00:09:24,268
Speaker 1: more so here I think these two teams will be

214
00:09:24,308 --> 00:09:24,988
Speaker 1: a sure lock in.

215
00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:29,388
Speaker 2: All right, that's it split decision. Christmas Day. We did

216
00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:32,668
Speaker 2: Week sixteen, Week seventeen, and now we're going to look

217
00:09:32,668 --> 00:09:34,788
Speaker 2: at the remainder of Week seventeen. Okay, we're going to

218
00:09:34,828 --> 00:09:37,148
Speaker 2: stay in this schedule. Everybody, collect your faces.

219
00:09:37,788 --> 00:09:39,268
Speaker 4: We owed you, got you.

220
00:09:39,628 --> 00:09:42,548
Speaker 2: I like everybody waits until I say collect you what's

221
00:09:42,588 --> 00:09:46,828
Speaker 2: on these two week seventeen matchups that aren't on Christmas Day?

222
00:09:46,868 --> 00:09:50,108
Speaker 2: This is just regular Week seventeen. We'll have larger playoff

223
00:09:50,108 --> 00:09:53,388
Speaker 2: in implications. Is it a rematch of the opening round

224
00:09:53,388 --> 00:09:55,468
Speaker 2: of the playoffs last season and the Texans and the

225
00:09:55,548 --> 00:09:58,108
Speaker 2: Chargers or are you looking at the Rams and the

226
00:09:58,148 --> 00:10:00,748
Speaker 2: Falcons and the fact that the coaches there are very

227
00:10:00,788 --> 00:10:01,908
Speaker 2: familiar with each other.

228
00:10:02,068 --> 00:10:05,508
Speaker 8: Lgu start, Well, this is a difficult one. I mean,

229
00:10:05,828 --> 00:10:08,228
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go with the rematch. You know, when you

230
00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:11,108
Speaker 8: go through with two teams that have a history together,

231
00:10:12,308 --> 00:10:15,668
Speaker 8: it depends, right, we can see what happens if the

232
00:10:15,748 --> 00:10:18,108
Speaker 8: Houston could bring it out, if that young quarterback could

233
00:10:18,108 --> 00:10:20,268
Speaker 8: do it. Can they sit there and say, hey man,

234
00:10:20,388 --> 00:10:23,388
Speaker 8: we beat them, You're done with the playoffs. Can Jim

235
00:10:23,628 --> 00:10:25,948
Speaker 8: come out there with Herbert and knocked them out? Of

236
00:10:26,068 --> 00:10:28,228
Speaker 8: Houston knocked them out of the playoffs, and it's having

237
00:10:28,228 --> 00:10:31,228
Speaker 8: a bigger implication I think. So it's a tricky thing.

238
00:10:31,268 --> 00:10:32,748
Speaker 8: You gotta go to the rival, you got to go

239
00:10:32,908 --> 00:10:34,668
Speaker 8: understand the history behind that.

240
00:10:36,148 --> 00:10:38,628
Speaker 1: I'm following over with my guy. I'm following over my guy.

241
00:10:38,668 --> 00:10:40,668
Speaker 1: Give me the Chargers, give me the tacks. I think

242
00:10:40,708 --> 00:10:43,188
Speaker 1: this is going to be a big game. Obviously, we

243
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:45,588
Speaker 1: saw with C. D. Stroud struggled a little bit with

244
00:10:45,628 --> 00:10:47,548
Speaker 1: a sophomore slam. I think he has a lot more

245
00:10:47,628 --> 00:10:50,348
Speaker 1: to prove. They have Nico Collins coming back and they.

246
00:10:50,268 --> 00:10:51,788
Speaker 4: Got which is very interesting.

247
00:10:51,788 --> 00:10:54,108
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen two wide receivers getting

248
00:10:54,188 --> 00:10:57,628
Speaker 1: drafted from Iowa State back to back second round, third

249
00:10:57,708 --> 00:10:59,708
Speaker 1: round wide receivers. That means it's gonna be a lot

250
00:10:59,708 --> 00:11:03,348
Speaker 1: of chemistry going on. And I love I love Justin Herbert,

251
00:11:03,348 --> 00:11:05,588
Speaker 1: his big arm over there. He's going to open up

252
00:11:05,628 --> 00:11:08,308
Speaker 1: a lot with har Ball. And also don't forget that

253
00:11:08,428 --> 00:11:11,308
Speaker 1: Naji Harris is the only running back that's rushed for

254
00:11:11,548 --> 00:11:15,748
Speaker 1: four straight consecutive thousand yards entering into the NFL, and

255
00:11:15,748 --> 00:11:17,628
Speaker 1: the only other running back one of the owner of

256
00:11:17,668 --> 00:11:19,548
Speaker 1: running backs to do that was LT I think he's

257
00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:22,788
Speaker 1: gonna be pay great homage to LT doing it again.

258
00:11:22,908 --> 00:11:26,188
Speaker 1: So give me this game and it depends on who wins.

259
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:28,228
Speaker 1: Is going to have an opportunity.

260
00:11:27,748 --> 00:11:28,068
Speaker 9: For the while.

261
00:11:28,388 --> 00:11:30,428
Speaker 2: He being a California boy, must be happy with that

262
00:11:30,588 --> 00:11:33,588
Speaker 2: plan for the Chargers. Super excited to see him back

263
00:11:33,628 --> 00:11:35,548
Speaker 2: in l Anyway's northern California.

264
00:11:35,548 --> 00:11:35,948
Speaker 3: I know that.

265
00:11:36,108 --> 00:11:38,628
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, guys, I'll give you a little lesson about

266
00:11:38,628 --> 00:11:41,388
Speaker 6: our show. Jim MBI Kyle Brant, he's one of the

267
00:11:41,388 --> 00:11:43,828
Speaker 6: family members here that one of the ogs, and he

268
00:11:43,868 --> 00:11:46,268
Speaker 6: doesn't like when we go three for three, we call

269
00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:48,188
Speaker 6: it when you go zig, I'm gonna go zag.

270
00:11:48,268 --> 00:11:49,508
Speaker 5: So this is a shout out to.

271
00:11:49,548 --> 00:11:52,148
Speaker 6: My boy KB, KB, you'd be very happy with me.

272
00:11:52,508 --> 00:11:55,108
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go when everybody zigs, I'm a zag. And

273
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:58,748
Speaker 6: the reason why is this, I honestly think that the

274
00:11:58,948 --> 00:12:03,228
Speaker 6: screw it everybody knows why Stan. I honestly think that

275
00:12:03,308 --> 00:12:06,068
Speaker 6: what the La Rams did this offseason and siting Davante

276
00:12:06,228 --> 00:12:10,508
Speaker 6: Adams week seventeen, they will be fighting for a number

277
00:12:10,548 --> 00:12:12,868
Speaker 6: one seed, not just in the NFC West, in the

278
00:12:13,068 --> 00:12:14,228
Speaker 6: NFC in general.

279
00:12:14,668 --> 00:12:16,428
Speaker 5: Having DeVante Adams.

280
00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:18,428
Speaker 6: Over there, it's a different than Cooper Cup.

281
00:12:18,468 --> 00:12:19,948
Speaker 7: Why beingsuse Cooper Cup and Pookin the.

282
00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:21,108
Speaker 5: Coop play at the same position.

283
00:12:21,388 --> 00:12:24,388
Speaker 6: What the Cincinnati Bengals have with t Higgins and Jamar

284
00:12:24,468 --> 00:12:27,948
Speaker 6: Chase is now what the La Rams have with Pooka

285
00:12:28,028 --> 00:12:29,628
Speaker 6: the Cool and Dvante Adams.

286
00:12:29,748 --> 00:12:31,188
Speaker 5: What are you going to do as a defense? Are

287
00:12:31,268 --> 00:12:33,548
Speaker 5: you going to send the safety over to the weak.

288
00:12:33,468 --> 00:12:37,108
Speaker 6: Side, the single seies realtiver side, but Davante Adams, all right, cool,

289
00:12:37,268 --> 00:12:38,828
Speaker 6: who's gonna be on Pooko the Cool?

290
00:12:38,828 --> 00:12:40,308
Speaker 4: Are you going to send the safety over there?

291
00:12:40,628 --> 00:12:40,948
Speaker 7: All right?

292
00:12:40,948 --> 00:12:43,748
Speaker 1: If both safeties are going with you've got Kyraen Williams

293
00:12:43,828 --> 00:12:46,108
Speaker 1: running the ball like you gotta.

294
00:12:45,868 --> 00:12:49,028
Speaker 5: Pick your poison with this team. And not to mention

295
00:12:49,148 --> 00:12:51,748
Speaker 5: Jared Versus the defensive Rookie Player of the Year.

296
00:12:52,028 --> 00:12:55,068
Speaker 6: So I think how Sean mcmahn the LA Rams are

297
00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:57,788
Speaker 6: set up heading into twenty twenty five, watch out for

298
00:12:57,828 --> 00:13:00,868
Speaker 6: the La Rams because in week seventeen they could not

299
00:13:00,948 --> 00:13:03,708
Speaker 6: only be playing for the NFC West Championship, but the

300
00:13:03,788 --> 00:13:05,028
Speaker 6: number one seed in the NFC.

301
00:13:05,388 --> 00:13:06,708
Speaker 4: Can I tell you, I mean he sold me.

302
00:13:13,628 --> 00:13:17,788
Speaker 3: Stick just live over there. So you're not saying.

303
00:13:17,548 --> 00:13:21,428
Speaker 2: It's necessarily this matchup, It's what this implication has the

304
00:13:21,548 --> 00:13:25,108
Speaker 2: greater NFC, and you're saying that despite the reigning Super

305
00:13:25,148 --> 00:13:28,468
Speaker 2: Bowl champions playing in a challenging division in the Philadelphia Eagles,

306
00:13:28,748 --> 00:13:31,668
Speaker 2: you are flirting with the Rams being your number one

307
00:13:31,748 --> 00:13:32,948
Speaker 2: overall NFC seed.

308
00:13:33,108 --> 00:13:36,828
Speaker 6: Jamie, Okay, so I'm defense LG's defense.

309
00:13:36,788 --> 00:13:37,588
Speaker 5: Shot his offense.

310
00:13:37,988 --> 00:13:43,108
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is such a challenge when I can't put

311
00:13:43,148 --> 00:13:44,708
Speaker 6: both safeties everywhere.

312
00:13:44,908 --> 00:13:45,108
Speaker 9: Right.

313
00:13:45,148 --> 00:13:46,948
Speaker 5: So it's why.

314
00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:49,548
Speaker 6: The Cincinnati Bengals had so much success with Joe Burrow

315
00:13:49,628 --> 00:13:53,188
Speaker 6: Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase led the league in passing yards, receptions, touchdown,

316
00:13:53,268 --> 00:13:56,148
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow led in passing yards. Why because as a

317
00:13:56,148 --> 00:13:58,548
Speaker 6: as a quarterback, when I look out there, when I

318
00:13:58,588 --> 00:14:01,828
Speaker 6: have somebody like DeVante Adams that single all I got

319
00:14:01,948 --> 00:14:03,828
Speaker 6: to look is you got the safety over there?

320
00:14:04,148 --> 00:14:05,308
Speaker 5: No cool, one on one.

321
00:14:05,348 --> 00:14:08,708
Speaker 6: I'm gonna Devantia Adams every single time, So you're gonna

322
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:10,348
Speaker 6: have to put a safety over there. There's only two

323
00:14:10,428 --> 00:14:11,788
Speaker 6: safeties on the field, guys, I don't know if you

324
00:14:11,828 --> 00:14:15,668
Speaker 6: know football, there's only two. They only get eleven players. Now,

325
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:17,468
Speaker 6: what are you gonna do? Are you gonna put them

326
00:14:17,468 --> 00:14:19,108
Speaker 6: over pooking the cool? Are you going to keep them

327
00:14:19,148 --> 00:14:20,508
Speaker 6: in the bucks to guard against the run. You been

328
00:14:20,588 --> 00:14:22,828
Speaker 6: keeping them in the guard against the run. Pooking is

329
00:14:22,828 --> 00:14:23,428
Speaker 6: gonna torture you.

330
00:14:24,028 --> 00:14:24,668
Speaker 5: And it's just.

331
00:14:24,668 --> 00:14:26,828
Speaker 6: Gonna be one of those things where Sean McVay is

332
00:14:26,828 --> 00:14:29,388
Speaker 6: gonna be over to being cooking and Matt Stafford is

333
00:14:29,388 --> 00:14:31,668
Speaker 6: probably gonna have one of the better years in his

334
00:14:32,028 --> 00:14:32,748
Speaker 6: NFL career.

335
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:36,348
Speaker 5: So again, this isn't just a playoff implication.

336
00:14:36,388 --> 00:14:39,828
Speaker 6: This is number one seed in the NFC l A Rams,

337
00:14:39,828 --> 00:14:41,908
Speaker 6: Sean McVay and the whole cast up.

338
00:14:41,948 --> 00:14:45,028
Speaker 1: Guys over there, I'm with you, I'm with you, behind

339
00:14:45,028 --> 00:14:48,308
Speaker 1: you one hundred bro me. Remember this is the only

340
00:14:48,428 --> 00:14:52,628
Speaker 1: team that gave the Eagles, yes havoc, yes, the whole

341
00:14:52,748 --> 00:14:55,348
Speaker 1: entire playoff run. I mean they dominated the Super Bowl.

342
00:14:55,868 --> 00:14:59,388
Speaker 1: This is the team that the Eagles are afraid of

343
00:14:59,428 --> 00:15:02,548
Speaker 1: the most by Fred Brother.

344
00:15:02,588 --> 00:15:03,268
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm over.

345
00:15:04,388 --> 00:15:06,268
Speaker 3: We will have to come to LA this season.

346
00:15:06,268 --> 00:15:08,588
Speaker 2: But they got to play the Chargers halfway through on

347
00:15:08,668 --> 00:15:11,508
Speaker 2: Monday Night football. To your point, you were like doing

348
00:15:11,508 --> 00:15:13,028
Speaker 2: the McVeigh walking on the sideline.

349
00:15:13,308 --> 00:15:15,348
Speaker 3: You just imagined into his headset. He's like, this is

350
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:16,988
Speaker 3: a cheat code. I have found a cheat code.

351
00:15:16,988 --> 00:15:20,268
Speaker 2: I can't believe the fact that he also retains Stafford,

352
00:15:20,308 --> 00:15:22,068
Speaker 2: like he must have shared with Stafford that there was

353
00:15:22,108 --> 00:15:24,948
Speaker 2: some semblance of a plan to get somebody like Davante

354
00:15:25,068 --> 00:15:27,788
Speaker 2: Adams to make sure like keep us here, keep us going.

355
00:15:27,828 --> 00:15:30,668
Speaker 2: We are that close to being atop the NFC once again.

356
00:15:31,268 --> 00:15:33,708
Speaker 2: Oh man, what a cell man, Tai You sure this

357
00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:43,148
Speaker 2: is kind of lonely? I know, right, So there's a

358
00:15:43,188 --> 00:15:44,868
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of energew over that I like

359
00:15:44,948 --> 00:15:49,588
Speaker 2: it all right, Mike Garatfolo, welcome inside. We're talking games

360
00:15:49,628 --> 00:15:52,428
Speaker 2: with playoff implications late in the season. Let's talk about

361
00:15:52,628 --> 00:15:54,548
Speaker 2: names of quarterbacks that we don't even know if they're

362
00:15:54,548 --> 00:15:56,028
Speaker 2: going to be on a team that's fighting for the playoffs.

363
00:15:56,028 --> 00:15:58,908
Speaker 2: The Steelers are always in. But where is Aaron Rodgers

364
00:15:58,988 --> 00:16:01,228
Speaker 2: going to be? What's going on with Rogers.

365
00:16:00,868 --> 00:16:04,028
Speaker 11: These days, Jamie, We're still waiting on Aaron Rodgers to

366
00:16:04,108 --> 00:16:06,668
Speaker 11: make it decision to whether he wants to join the Steelers.

367
00:16:06,668 --> 00:16:10,948
Speaker 11: Cam Hayward preaching patients on his podcast recently. Earlier in

368
00:16:10,948 --> 00:16:12,628
Speaker 11: the offseason, he was saying, look, either you want to

369
00:16:12,628 --> 00:16:15,668
Speaker 11: be a Steeler or you don't, in reference to Aaron Rodgers. Well,

370
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,668
Speaker 11: we're still playing the waiting game. Now that the schedule

371
00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:20,268
Speaker 11: has been released, you talked about the late season primetime

372
00:16:20,308 --> 00:16:23,668
Speaker 11: games as the NFL tries to figure out whether Rogers

373
00:16:23,788 --> 00:16:25,868
Speaker 11: is going to be the Steelers quarterback Mike North being

374
00:16:25,908 --> 00:16:30,108
Speaker 11: quoted by CBS last night the NFL VP saying, if

375
00:16:30,108 --> 00:16:32,468
Speaker 11: we knew for sure, we would have these Steelers Week

376
00:16:32,548 --> 00:16:35,668
Speaker 11: one game against the Jets, with the quarterbacks facing their

377
00:16:35,708 --> 00:16:37,508
Speaker 11: former teams, we would have had that in prime time.

378
00:16:37,548 --> 00:16:39,428
Speaker 11: We've got it slated for one PM. So we're going

379
00:16:39,508 --> 00:16:42,828
Speaker 11: to see what happens with Rogers as these Steelers continue

380
00:16:42,828 --> 00:16:44,748
Speaker 11: to play the waiting game. Only one guy really knows

381
00:16:44,788 --> 00:16:46,388
Speaker 11: for sure, and it's Aaron Rodgers, and I don't know

382
00:16:46,388 --> 00:16:48,108
Speaker 11: that he knows for sure at this point. He's talked

383
00:16:48,108 --> 00:16:50,908
Speaker 11: about even retirement being something he'd he's thought about in

384
00:16:50,948 --> 00:16:54,468
Speaker 11: recent months. Elsewhere in the AFC, North Derrick Henry getting

385
00:16:54,508 --> 00:16:55,988
Speaker 11: a contract extension.

386
00:16:55,588 --> 00:16:57,468
Speaker 10: Two years, thirty million dollars.

387
00:16:57,748 --> 00:17:00,388
Speaker 11: He's got fully guaranteed money now through the twenty twenty

388
00:17:00,428 --> 00:17:00,988
Speaker 11: six season.

389
00:17:01,028 --> 00:17:02,228
Speaker 10: He was entering the.

390
00:17:02,188 --> 00:17:04,148
Speaker 11: Final year of a two year deal to be signed

391
00:17:04,188 --> 00:17:07,388
Speaker 11: last year, was scheduled to make only seven million dollars

392
00:17:07,828 --> 00:17:10,148
Speaker 11: this upcoming season. Well, now that's up toward fourteen to

393
00:17:10,228 --> 00:17:11,108
Speaker 11: fifteen over the.

394
00:17:11,068 --> 00:17:13,188
Speaker 10: Next two seasons, so he.

395
00:17:13,188 --> 00:17:18,028
Speaker 11: Is in the upper echelon of running back pay scale.

396
00:17:18,028 --> 00:17:20,148
Speaker 11: It's kind of hard to compare these deals because Saquon

397
00:17:20,188 --> 00:17:22,588
Speaker 11: Barkley got an extension early in the deal that he

398
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,108
Speaker 11: signed with the Eagles. His new average is in the

399
00:17:25,228 --> 00:17:27,868
Speaker 11: twenty million dollars per year range.

400
00:17:27,908 --> 00:17:29,308
Speaker 10: Henry here at fifteen million.

401
00:17:29,388 --> 00:17:31,508
Speaker 11: So some of these other running backs who we're going

402
00:17:31,588 --> 00:17:34,188
Speaker 11: to get deals coming up, James Cook, Kyron Williams saying

403
00:17:34,188 --> 00:17:36,188
Speaker 11: we want to get up to where these guys are

404
00:17:36,268 --> 00:17:38,108
Speaker 11: right now. Don't quite know if that's going to happen,

405
00:17:38,148 --> 00:17:40,588
Speaker 11: because we're talking about Barkley and Henry, two guys that

406
00:17:40,708 --> 00:17:44,708
Speaker 11: threatened the rushing record last year and certainly have offenses

407
00:17:44,748 --> 00:17:49,108
Speaker 11: that are built around them, even in Henry's case, into

408
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:49,588
Speaker 11: his thirties.

409
00:17:49,628 --> 00:17:51,708
Speaker 10: So the Ravens showing confidence.

410
00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:52,628
Speaker 11: That he is going to continue to be that guy

411
00:17:52,628 --> 00:17:55,548
Speaker 11: at least for the next two seasons, despite being past

412
00:17:55,628 --> 00:17:58,388
Speaker 11: that magic age of thirty or usually you see running

413
00:17:58,428 --> 00:17:59,228
Speaker 11: backs decline.

414
00:17:59,228 --> 00:18:00,588
Speaker 10: Not so much with Derek Henry.

415
00:18:00,628 --> 00:18:02,068
Speaker 11: You want to know why, Jamie, because he works out

416
00:18:02,108 --> 00:18:03,868
Speaker 11: really hard, he's got change, he's got bands, he's.

417
00:18:03,748 --> 00:18:05,068
Speaker 10: Doing pushups, all that stuff.

418
00:18:05,348 --> 00:18:07,148
Speaker 2: Mike Key, when I was a kid, My dad had

419
00:18:07,188 --> 00:18:10,508
Speaker 2: this poster of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson standing back

420
00:18:10,548 --> 00:18:13,268
Speaker 2: to back and the basketball was on fire between the

421
00:18:13,268 --> 00:18:15,548
Speaker 2: two of them, and they just said, ball is life.

422
00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:17,108
Speaker 2: And that's how I feel like we should make a

423
00:18:17,148 --> 00:18:19,588
Speaker 2: poster of Saquan and Derek Henry standing back to back

424
00:18:19,588 --> 00:18:22,308
Speaker 2: with a football and file is the running backs are back.

425
00:18:22,388 --> 00:18:24,908
Speaker 2: Like it's just those two and it's just money on

426
00:18:24,988 --> 00:18:26,988
Speaker 2: the ground beneath them, and it's just like such a

427
00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:29,348
Speaker 2: thrilling storyline for that position in those two names.

428
00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:30,388
Speaker 3: Thanks Mike g you.

429
00:18:30,348 --> 00:18:33,388
Speaker 10: Got to bring those. I love those posters. We brothers

430
00:18:33,428 --> 00:18:34,068
Speaker 10: something brothers.

431
00:18:34,148 --> 00:18:36,148
Speaker 3: It was a great poster, Thank you very much. I'm

432
00:18:36,148 --> 00:18:36,628
Speaker 3: gonna find it.

433
00:18:36,668 --> 00:18:37,988
Speaker 2: My parents live with me now, so I'm sure we

434
00:18:38,028 --> 00:18:44,228
Speaker 2: still have it. We're back on GMFP and that's the

435
00:18:44,308 --> 00:18:47,748
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five Arizona Cardinals schedule.

436
00:18:48,148 --> 00:18:48,548
Speaker 10: All right.

437
00:18:48,668 --> 00:18:51,348
Speaker 2: That's a very comfortable week eight bye, and frankly, I

438
00:18:51,428 --> 00:18:53,468
Speaker 2: feel like I'm a player. All the players care about

439
00:18:53,588 --> 00:18:56,148
Speaker 2: is when my rest is coming, and it comes right

440
00:18:56,188 --> 00:18:58,988
Speaker 2: after they got to play the Green Bay Packers. Now

441
00:18:59,028 --> 00:19:02,188
Speaker 2: that's just the written word, if you will, of how

442
00:19:02,188 --> 00:19:04,628
Speaker 2: to look at the Arizona Cardinals schedule. We're gonna dive

443
00:19:04,708 --> 00:19:08,748
Speaker 2: deeper into how the Cardinals released their schedule for next season.

444
00:19:09,068 --> 00:19:10,988
Speaker 2: And you might think that I look like I'm about

445
00:19:10,988 --> 00:19:11,868
Speaker 2: to go to a concert.

446
00:19:12,228 --> 00:19:14,268

Speaker 13: don't really use no profanity in none of my music anymore.

527
00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:46,028

00:23:00,668 --> 00:23:02,388
Speaker 13: up with me like a new nickname at all my

538
00:23:02,508 --> 00:23:05,348
Speaker 13: teams that I go to. Obviously, Uh, when I got

539
00:23:05,388 --> 00:23:08,428
Speaker 13: to the Cardinals, Uh, the first thing that came to

540
00:23:08,508 --> 00:23:11,468
Speaker 13: mind when I seen the Cardinals logo was like the

541
00:23:11,588 --> 00:23:15,948
Speaker 13: rocket ship symbol and and and it was kind of like.

542
00:23:17,948 --> 00:23:19,868

543
00:23:20,028 --> 00:23:22,748

546
00:23:26,828 --> 00:23:29,628
Speaker 13: call my start calling myself rocket ship because I felt

547
00:23:29,668 --> 00:23:31,108
Speaker 13: like it was like time.

548
00:23:30,988 --> 00:23:32,908
Speaker 9: For me to take off, like as far as like

00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:36,508
Speaker 9: It was.

551
00:23:36,628 --> 00:23:38,308
Speaker 13: It was something that I came up with and and

552
00:23:38,908 --> 00:23:41,068
Speaker 13: all my all my boys was bashing me about it

553
00:23:41,148 --> 00:23:43,588
Speaker 13: at first, but but not the whole world called me

554
00:23:43,668 --> 00:23:44,828
Speaker 13: that a year later.

555
00:23:44,748 --> 00:23:45,548
Speaker 3: So it's cool.

556
00:23:46,628 --> 00:23:48,428
Speaker 7: I didn't get that rocket ship when we were teammates

557
00:23:48,468 --> 00:23:49,108
Speaker 7: in New England, but.

558
00:23:49,268 --> 00:23:51,788
Speaker 9: I was the god that I was. I was.

559
00:23:52,028 --> 00:23:54,028
Speaker 13: I was number three in New England, I was number

560
00:23:54,068 --> 00:23:55,668
Speaker 13: thirty in New England, so I was, I was all

561
00:23:55,748 --> 00:23:56,308
Speaker 13: over the place.

562
00:23:56,588 --> 00:23:58,308
Speaker 7: But hey man, I'm gonna give you a flower man.

563
00:23:58,428 --> 00:24:01,068
Speaker 8: Going in years since becoming the starter of the Cardinals,

564
00:24:01,308 --> 00:24:03,788
Speaker 8: that's something really hard to do. It showed that the

565
00:24:03,908 --> 00:24:06,468
Speaker 8: work that you put in, But what really impresses me

566
00:24:06,948 --> 00:24:08,668
Speaker 8: is the work you do off the field.

567
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:09,988
Speaker 7: Can you go into that a little bit?

568
00:24:11,028 --> 00:24:11,668
Speaker 9: No, for sure?

569
00:24:11,748 --> 00:24:15,948
Speaker 13: Yeah, just coming here last year or my first year

570
00:24:16,028 --> 00:24:18,268
Speaker 13: of being a cardinal, and you know, I knew I

571
00:24:18,308 --> 00:24:21,308
Speaker 13: had an opportunity to be a starter. So I told myself,

572
00:24:21,388 --> 00:24:23,268
Speaker 13: you know, even if I wasn't gonna start or not.

573
00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:25,108
Speaker 13: It was just a fair start, you know, for me

574
00:24:25,188 --> 00:24:26,828
Speaker 13: to be in Arizona. You know, I kind of just

575
00:24:26,908 --> 00:24:29,188
Speaker 13: laid out what I wanted to accomplish, you know, off

576
00:24:29,228 --> 00:24:31,308
Speaker 13: the field as far as in the community, and I

577
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,148
Speaker 13: feel like I hear all of that, you know. It

578
00:24:33,348 --> 00:24:35,868
Speaker 13: just giving back any way I can doing Turkey Drive,

579
00:24:36,028 --> 00:24:39,588
Speaker 13: doing four a month, doing something for the moms, like

580
00:24:39,628 --> 00:24:42,628
Speaker 13: a breakfast, a brunch. I think I did in Christmas,

581
00:24:42,668 --> 00:24:45,628
Speaker 13: shopping for the kids at Target, you know, and then

582
00:24:45,668 --> 00:24:48,068
Speaker 13: I just did my fourth annual charity basketball game a

583
00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:50,988
Speaker 13: few days ago. So just being able to give back

584
00:24:51,028 --> 00:24:54,108
Speaker 13: in the community, I feel like it is important and

585
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:55,828
Speaker 13: it's near and dear to my heart definitely.

586
00:24:55,948 --> 00:24:58,068
Speaker 9: So that's something that I'm going to continue to do.

587
00:24:58,348 --> 00:24:58,468
Speaker 7: Well.

588
00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:00,668
Speaker 2: That's how you build fans, That's how you build followers.

589
00:25:00,748 --> 00:25:02,588
Speaker 2: So it's a great thing that you're doing, Mac, and

590
00:25:02,628 --> 00:25:05,028
Speaker 2: we really appreciate it. We know Cardinals fan do as well.

591
00:25:05,268 --> 00:25:07,708
Speaker 2: Cardinals fans were honed in last night, not only on

592
00:25:08,148 --> 00:25:10,468
Speaker 2: the track that was dropped, but also what it implied,

593
00:25:10,548 --> 00:25:12,988
Speaker 2: which is the schedule, who those teams are that you

594
00:25:13,068 --> 00:25:16,188
Speaker 2: will play over an eighteen week season, seventeen opponents as

595
00:25:16,228 --> 00:25:18,148
Speaker 2: you said, what is the one game that.

596
00:25:18,228 --> 00:25:19,068
Speaker 3: Caught your eye?

00:25:19,188 --> 00:25:20,748
Speaker 2: Is a guy that's going to line up in that

598
00:25:20,908 --> 00:25:22,428

Speaker 13: Obviously all the division games, but most importantly the first one.

606
00:25:41,148 --> 00:25:44,228
Speaker 13: Obviously we get a chance to go at it for

607
00:25:44,468 --> 00:25:47,588
Speaker 13: my for the for the first game of the season.

608
00:25:47,748 --> 00:25:50,348
Speaker 13: You know, it's just always exciting to play that first one.

609
00:25:50,428 --> 00:25:53,308
Speaker 13: So it's my first time playing in New Orleans, actually,

610
00:25:53,428 --> 00:25:55,588
Speaker 13: so I'm super excited to play in the Dome.

611
00:25:56,348 --> 00:25:58,708
Speaker 8: Hey, I understand that they don't like it is a

612
00:25:58,828 --> 00:26:00,508
Speaker 8: unique life mind t I I can tell you about that.

613
00:26:00,988 --> 00:26:03,108
Speaker 8: But I feel like when people are talking about the

614
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:06,268
Speaker 8: NFC West Cardinals, they get overlooked a little bit. Can

615
00:26:06,308 --> 00:26:08,068
Speaker 8: you tell why we shouldn't sleep on them this year?

616
00:26:09,308 --> 00:26:09,468
Speaker 7: Yeah?

617
00:26:09,508 --> 00:26:10,988
Speaker 13: I mean I feel like I feel like it's a

618
00:26:11,028 --> 00:26:13,468
Speaker 13: lot of talent in the NFC West. Man you got

619
00:26:14,068 --> 00:26:17,788
Speaker 13: you got obviously Sam barn Over there in Seattle, you

620
00:26:17,908 --> 00:26:20,588
Speaker 13: got forty nine ers, you got the Rams who just

621
00:26:20,628 --> 00:26:24,028
Speaker 13: added Davonte Adams. I feel like, you know, we've got

622
00:26:24,068 --> 00:26:26,548
Speaker 13: we got some ballers over there, and you know, as

623
00:26:26,588 --> 00:26:29,028
Speaker 13: far as far as us the Cardinals, we made a

624
00:26:29,108 --> 00:26:30,708
Speaker 13: lot of additions on the defensive side.

625
00:26:30,788 --> 00:26:32,588
Speaker 9: You know, we got our offense back.

626
00:26:33,188 --> 00:26:35,748
Speaker 13: So I feel like it's it's some ball going on definitely,

627
00:26:35,828 --> 00:26:37,628
Speaker 13: and uh, you know, we're just gonna try our best

628
00:26:37,628 --> 00:26:39,228
Speaker 13: to be one of those teams the top.

629
00:26:39,988 --> 00:26:42,708
Speaker 2: I bet you will in the NFC West, you will compete.

630
00:26:42,868 --> 00:26:45,108
Speaker 2: And listen, can we make a deal a couple of

631
00:26:45,148 --> 00:26:47,868
Speaker 2: years from now, when you are more known as rocket

00:26:47,908 --> 00:26:50,348

633
00:26:50,388 --> 00:26:51,548
Speaker 2: don't know if all of us are going to be

634
00:26:51,548 --> 00:26:53,868
Speaker 2: sitting at this table, but when you're performing, perhaps at

635
00:26:53,908 --> 00:26:56,548
Speaker 2: Sofi Stadium, can we just show up with these and

636
00:26:56,668 --> 00:26:59,228
Speaker 2: when we get let in or can we make sure

637
00:26:59,268 --> 00:27:00,788

655
00:27:39,628 --> 00:27:42,228
Speaker 2: we learned so much about him, including the fact that

656
00:27:42,348 --> 00:27:44,028
Speaker 2: his nickname as a wee boy.

657
00:27:44,428 --> 00:27:47,828

Speaker 3: We're fine.

664
00:28:01,948 --> 00:28:04,148
Speaker 2: We're a little peeved with you that you're not sitting

665
00:28:04,188 --> 00:28:06,428
Speaker 2: here at the table, but we understand that you had

666
00:28:06,508 --> 00:28:08,268
Speaker 2: to return to your actual job and you don't just

667
00:28:08,348 --> 00:28:10,068
Speaker 2: get to chop it up here with us on GMF

668
00:28:10,348 --> 00:28:11,068
Speaker 2: for a couple hours.

669
00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:11,748
Speaker 3: Derwin.

670
00:28:12,108 --> 00:28:15,028
Speaker 2: This week announced by the NFL the twenty twenty five

671
00:28:15,148 --> 00:28:18,028
Speaker 2: International Games. One of those games will be a Chargers

672
00:28:18,148 --> 00:28:21,068
Speaker 2: Chiefs in San Paulo, Brazil. How are we feeling about

673
00:28:21,148 --> 00:28:23,708
Speaker 2: kicking off the season overseas for the NFL.

674
00:28:24,868 --> 00:28:25,948
Speaker 9: I'm super excited.

675
00:28:26,828 --> 00:28:28,748
Speaker 14: I know the guys in the locker room, decided a

676
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:32,108
Speaker 14: division game, division opponent to be able to play it

677
00:28:32,348 --> 00:28:34,308
Speaker 14: outside that stadium, it's gonna be amazing.

678
00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:36,588
Speaker 2: We're going to speak with the production editors to make

679
00:28:36,628 --> 00:28:39,268
Speaker 2: sure you get on that poster treatment and we can

680
00:28:39,348 --> 00:28:41,428
Speaker 2: I don't know, Lad Maconkie, he's younger than you. You

681
00:28:41,748 --> 00:28:43,948
Speaker 2: can move him aside. Put Derwin on there. Look at

682
00:28:43,988 --> 00:28:45,588
Speaker 2: I have this grid in front of me. There's a

683
00:28:45,628 --> 00:28:47,788
Speaker 2: lot of games, a lot of options. You have to

684
00:28:47,868 --> 00:28:50,708
Speaker 2: pick another game that you have circled on your schedule, Derwin.

685
00:28:50,868 --> 00:28:53,748
Speaker 2: We're making great TV here together. What's another game that

686
00:28:53,828 --> 00:28:56,268
Speaker 2: you have to look forward to the season with the Chargers.

687
00:28:57,668 --> 00:28:59,948
Speaker 14: I'd say that a Chiefs game first, and then a

688
00:29:00,028 --> 00:29:03,828
Speaker 14: rated right after that. I mean three divisional games. I mean,

689
00:29:03,908 --> 00:29:06,908
Speaker 14: y'all know the the Visiting Gang almost counts plus too,

690
00:29:07,028 --> 00:29:10,028
Speaker 14: So I mean that's a super important start toime season

691
00:29:10,068 --> 00:29:10,428
Speaker 14: for sure.

692
00:29:11,348 --> 00:29:13,348
Speaker 5: All right, DJ, you already know what it is.

693
00:29:13,468 --> 00:29:13,668
Speaker 9: Brother.

694
00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:16,188
Speaker 6: The last time he was on this show, we had

695
00:29:16,228 --> 00:29:18,308
Speaker 6: the Spiko meter thing over there, and you almost put

696
00:29:18,348 --> 00:29:20,828
Speaker 6: a hole in that little pad over there. But then,

697
00:29:20,948 --> 00:29:23,348
Speaker 6: l certain conversations you talk about there are a few

698
00:29:23,468 --> 00:29:26,108
Speaker 6: holes in the team that you hope that that the

699
00:29:26,268 --> 00:29:28,588
Speaker 6: upstairs would fill those holes in the off season.

700
00:29:28,668 --> 00:29:29,428
Speaker 9: How do you see that?

701
00:29:29,508 --> 00:29:30,628
Speaker 5: Do you think they feel them?

702
00:29:30,868 --> 00:29:34,228
Speaker 6: Are you excited about the certain additions to to the

703
00:29:34,348 --> 00:29:35,268
Speaker 6: LA Chargers so far?

704
00:29:36,348 --> 00:29:38,148
Speaker 9: I'm very excited what the upstairs did.

705
00:29:38,348 --> 00:29:39,868
Speaker 14: I feel like we added a lot of depth in

706
00:29:39,948 --> 00:29:44,268
Speaker 14: a lot of positions, from running back to defensive line

707
00:29:44,348 --> 00:29:47,628
Speaker 14: to corner back, O line. I feel like everywhere we

708
00:29:47,708 --> 00:29:50,428
Speaker 14: added pieces. It may not be the big name of everybody, know,

709
00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,428
Speaker 14: but everybody put in the right word like, we'll like

710
00:29:53,468 --> 00:29:54,188
Speaker 14: what we see.

711
00:29:54,588 --> 00:29:57,308
Speaker 1: All right, So, DJ, the off seasons obviously the time

712
00:29:57,428 --> 00:29:59,148
Speaker 1: to sit back, reflect, spend.

713
00:29:58,908 --> 00:30:00,708
Speaker 4: Time with loved ones, do what you enjoy.

714
00:30:00,948 --> 00:30:03,948
Speaker 1: And you are dominant force on the Chargers defensive side

715
00:30:03,988 --> 00:30:04,268
Speaker 1: of the foot.

716
00:30:04,548 --> 00:30:05,188
Speaker 7: We all know that.

717
00:30:05,588 --> 00:30:07,228
Speaker 4: But tell us a little bit about.

718
00:30:06,988 --> 00:30:09,668
Speaker 1: The off season how you are trying to improve your

719
00:30:09,748 --> 00:30:10,828
Speaker 1: game just a notch.

720
00:30:12,508 --> 00:30:14,948
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm trying to prove spend the time with my family,

721
00:30:15,028 --> 00:30:16,988
Speaker 14: you know, outside the game, making sure I'm still being

722
00:30:17,028 --> 00:30:17,388
Speaker 14: a dad.

723
00:30:17,588 --> 00:30:19,948
Speaker 9: You know. I got a beautiful daughter seven months that

724
00:30:19,988 --> 00:30:20,508
Speaker 9: I just had.

725
00:30:20,868 --> 00:30:23,068
Speaker 14: Also have a son that's about four years old, So

726
00:30:23,508 --> 00:30:25,388
Speaker 14: trying to be a dad outside of football.

727
00:30:25,428 --> 00:30:28,108
Speaker 9: But the ways I'm also improving My game is, you know,

728
00:30:28,228 --> 00:30:28,908
Speaker 9: being that leader.

729
00:30:29,068 --> 00:30:30,908
Speaker 14: You know, I'm in year eight now, just being that

730
00:30:31,028 --> 00:30:33,468
Speaker 14: leader that is veteran president in the locker room that

731
00:30:33,868 --> 00:30:34,868
Speaker 14: everyone can count.

732
00:30:34,748 --> 00:30:37,468
Speaker 9: On and just working hard every day man, working like

733
00:30:37,508 --> 00:30:38,108

734
00:30:39,308 --> 00:30:41,908
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you're right, that's the year to come in.

735
00:30:42,388 --> 00:30:44,668
Speaker 8: It's a blessing to get there. Let's let's just say

736
00:30:44,708 --> 00:30:48,388
Speaker 8: that and congratulations. But entering your second season was Jim

737
00:30:48,468 --> 00:30:50,948
Speaker 8: Harball at the head of coach and Jessein Meeder and

738
00:30:51,068 --> 00:30:56,108
Speaker 8: as the defensive coordinator and returning power player yourself like

739
00:30:56,668 --> 00:31:00,788
Speaker 8: and the turning players yourself. I'm sorry, Tony Jefferson stills,

740
00:31:00,868 --> 00:31:03,668
Speaker 8: what are you expecting out of this defense coming this year?

741
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:06,268
Speaker 8: We know we don't understand until the past. Come on,

742
00:31:06,388 --> 00:31:07,428
Speaker 8: but what do you see so far?

743
00:31:08,988 --> 00:31:11,188
Speaker 14: At first last year going into this time, it was new,

744
00:31:11,348 --> 00:31:14,068
Speaker 14: you know, because coach Horball was new, Coach Minchell was new.

745
00:31:14,508 --> 00:31:17,068
Speaker 14: But this time around, it just it feels right. Every

746
00:31:17,108 --> 00:31:19,428
Speaker 14: day we take to take the field, take the building,

747
00:31:19,428 --> 00:31:22,228
Speaker 14: and I just have all the confidence in the world.

748
00:31:23,508 --> 00:31:26,228
Speaker 14: And coach Mentor and coach Harpball, they did a great

749
00:31:26,348 --> 00:31:28,988
Speaker 14: job building the culture and his own guys like being

750
00:31:29,068 --> 00:31:32,108
Speaker 14: Matt to you know, keep getting the message across and

751
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:34,148
Speaker 14: I feel like we're doing a great job and this

752
00:31:34,228 --> 00:31:36,108
Speaker 14: guy's the limit. With this team, we got a lot

753
00:31:36,148 --> 00:31:39,908
Speaker 14: of smart young coaches and they are amazing.

754
00:31:41,388 --> 00:31:41,748
Speaker 3: Derwin.

755
00:31:41,828 --> 00:31:44,988
Speaker 2: Last year, your season ended with this wild card loss

756
00:31:45,108 --> 00:31:48,828
Speaker 2: to the Houston Texans thirty two to twelve in early January.

757
00:31:48,948 --> 00:31:51,828
Speaker 2: I'm sure it was a challenge and incredibly infuriating.

758
00:31:51,908 --> 00:31:54,108
Speaker 3: You know you have to play the Texans again this season.

759
00:31:54,548 --> 00:31:58,028
Speaker 2: Do you allow yourself to feel perhaps the rage or

760
00:31:58,108 --> 00:32:00,948
Speaker 2: emotion that comes from a loss like that and carry

761
00:32:00,988 --> 00:32:02,828
Speaker 2: it and motivate you the next season, or are you

762
00:32:02,988 --> 00:32:04,228
Speaker 2: a fresh slate kind of guy.

763
00:32:06,468 --> 00:32:07,828
Speaker 14: I keep it in the back of my mind, but

764
00:32:07,828 --> 00:32:10,228
Speaker 14: I don't like to make it dictate my emotions of

765
00:32:10,308 --> 00:32:12,068
Speaker 14: my energy because I feel like when you try to

766
00:32:12,548 --> 00:32:14,428
Speaker 14: move it with anger you want to get back at

767
00:32:14,468 --> 00:32:16,548
Speaker 14: this team, you don't really execute on what you need

768
00:32:16,588 --> 00:32:18,788
Speaker 14: to execute them. So I just feel like I attack it.

769
00:32:18,868 --> 00:32:21,948
Speaker 14: I remember it, but I just I just all played

770
00:32:21,948 --> 00:32:23,108
Speaker 14: it all the games the same money.

771
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:25,108
Speaker 5: You play a lot of games, you played a lot

772
00:32:25,148 --> 00:32:25,428
Speaker 5: of years.

773
00:32:25,468 --> 00:32:27,828
Speaker 6: You got a lot of accolades, brother, and you had

774
00:32:27,868 --> 00:32:30,748
Speaker 6: another probo pro bo selection last year. But on top

775
00:32:30,828 --> 00:32:34,188
Speaker 6: of that, you're named the MVP for your team. Tell

776
00:32:34,228 --> 00:32:36,588
Speaker 6: me how does that feel being the MVP? Because we know,

777
00:32:36,668 --> 00:32:39,908
Speaker 6: as defensive guys, we're not really looked at as MVP.

778
00:32:40,268 --> 00:32:42,388
Speaker 6: As the MVP side of the ball, it's usually goes

779
00:32:42,428 --> 00:32:45,068
Speaker 6: to a quarterback or somebody on the offense. How does

780
00:32:45,108 --> 00:32:48,108
Speaker 6: that feel knowing that your peers and the coaches see

781
00:32:48,148 --> 00:32:49,708
Speaker 6: you as the MVP of your team.

782
00:32:50,988 --> 00:32:53,748
Speaker 9: I take it with honor. You know, I don't take

783
00:32:53,748 --> 00:32:54,348
Speaker 9: it for granted.

784
00:32:55,028 --> 00:32:57,348
Speaker 14: Every day I try to do my best to set

785
00:32:57,428 --> 00:33:00,228
Speaker 14: foot the best for the set the example for the

786
00:33:00,308 --> 00:33:02,068
Speaker 14: younger guys, and not just the young guys, for the

787
00:33:02,148 --> 00:33:03,228
Speaker 14: older guys and the coaches.

788
00:33:03,268 --> 00:33:05,988
Speaker 9: That's here to do my part every day. You know.

789
00:33:06,308 --> 00:33:07,668
Speaker 9: I know I'm a talented player.

790
00:33:07,508 --> 00:33:09,828
Speaker 14: But being able to still work hard and try to

791
00:33:09,868 --> 00:33:12,868
Speaker 14: outwork everybody, I feel like it's always my goal every day.

792
00:33:13,508 --> 00:33:15,348
Speaker 1: Now, you do a lot with your time, and you've

793
00:33:15,388 --> 00:33:18,708
Speaker 1: also put on a presidential suit because most recently you

794
00:33:18,828 --> 00:33:21,948
Speaker 1: delivered your first commencement speak to the graduates of the

795
00:33:22,028 --> 00:33:26,108
Speaker 1: University of Bridgepoint in Connecticut. Now you credited your amazing coach,

796
00:33:26,188 --> 00:33:29,388
Speaker 1: Jim Halball for calming down your nerves. Now I've delivered

797
00:33:29,388 --> 00:33:32,148
Speaker 1: the commencement speech myself, so I understand the nerves. So

798
00:33:32,348 --> 00:33:35,788
Speaker 1: tell us what did he tell you to comedy nerves

799
00:33:35,828 --> 00:33:38,068
Speaker 1: and what was your overall message to the class of

800
00:33:38,108 --> 00:33:39,068
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

801
00:33:40,108 --> 00:33:41,268
Speaker 9: Uh, yeah, that was thank you.

802
00:33:41,548 --> 00:33:43,108
Speaker 14: First of all, thank you to the University of the

803
00:33:43,148 --> 00:33:47,708
Speaker 14: Bridgeport for an incredible honor. But like public speaking, always

804
00:33:47,748 --> 00:33:50,548
Speaker 14: been a guy that, you know, I'm confident, but getting

805
00:33:50,548 --> 00:33:52,628
Speaker 14: in front of people, you know, I always get a

806
00:33:52,708 --> 00:33:55,828
Speaker 14: little tied over worth. But just with coach Hoball coming

807
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,748
Speaker 14: this last season, we did some of the call wise

808
00:33:57,828 --> 00:34:01,268
Speaker 14: Words and it's one person selected from the organization that

809
00:34:01,348 --> 00:34:04,028
Speaker 14: could be a player, coach, training staff or whatever, and

810
00:34:04,068 --> 00:34:05,588
Speaker 14: you got get up in front of the front of

811
00:34:05,628 --> 00:34:08,068
Speaker 14: the team right as I practice day before the game,

812
00:34:08,188 --> 00:34:10,828
Speaker 14: and you basically just give a message wise words.

813
00:34:10,868 --> 00:34:12,628
Speaker 9: And the more I did that, of course he called

814
00:34:12,668 --> 00:34:13,588
Speaker 9: on Man Herbert a lot.

815
00:34:13,668 --> 00:34:15,908
Speaker 14: But the more I did that, the more times I

816
00:34:15,988 --> 00:34:18,708
Speaker 14: spoke to the team, and it just gave me more confidence.

817
00:34:18,788 --> 00:34:20,628
Speaker 14: And once I got up there in front of the

818
00:34:21,068 --> 00:34:24,188
Speaker 14: non hundred graduates, I felt like I felt smooth. And

819
00:34:24,268 --> 00:34:26,908
Speaker 14: the message I really gave them is, you know, everybody's

820
00:34:26,948 --> 00:34:29,028
Speaker 14: not going to go through a football injury. But you know,

821
00:34:29,108 --> 00:34:31,348
Speaker 14: everybody's going to be parents, everybody's going to go through

822
00:34:31,828 --> 00:34:36,388
Speaker 14: adverse life, and no matter what, don't let nobody put limitation.

823
00:34:36,068 --> 00:34:38,748
Speaker 9: For your life. That's mess as I already gave them

824
00:34:38,948 --> 00:34:39,508
Speaker 9: to keep going.

825
00:34:40,148 --> 00:34:42,508
Speaker 2: Those are wide wise words, as you said, and you

826
00:34:42,628 --> 00:34:45,308
Speaker 2: learned that from Harbor. The difference I feel though between

827
00:34:45,388 --> 00:34:47,908
Speaker 2: you and Jim Harbaugh is like sometimes when Harbaugh speaks,

828
00:34:47,948 --> 00:34:50,068
Speaker 2: you're a little like, I think I'm following you. I

829
00:34:50,148 --> 00:34:52,268
Speaker 2: think I'm on this pathway, but we're not really sure

830
00:34:52,308 --> 00:34:55,028
Speaker 2: what direction we're going in. You're a little bit more straightforward.

831
00:34:55,268 --> 00:34:58,068
Speaker 2: How did you approach making sure that your message was

832
00:34:58,268 --> 00:35:02,268
Speaker 2: clear and u and in your preparation because Harbaugh he

833
00:35:02,348 --> 00:35:05,308
Speaker 2: can get a little strange and off with his message.

834
00:35:06,308 --> 00:35:10,148
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, no could, but basically just trying to do

835
00:35:10,468 --> 00:35:12,228
Speaker 14: I didn't want to take up too much of that time.

836
00:35:12,268 --> 00:35:14,228
Speaker 14: I know when you are graduate, I know you're just

837
00:35:14,268 --> 00:35:16,468
Speaker 14: trying to get your diploma, walk across the stage, spend

838
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:19,788
Speaker 14: the time with your family, get to the after festivities.

839
00:35:19,828 --> 00:35:21,548
Speaker 14: So I didn't want to take too much of that time.

840
00:35:21,628 --> 00:35:24,028
Speaker 14: But I did want to just express, you know, some

841
00:35:24,228 --> 00:35:25,828
Speaker 14: things that I've been through in my life. You know

842
00:35:25,948 --> 00:35:28,708
Speaker 14: that kind of helped me and a couple I shook

843
00:35:28,708 --> 00:35:31,148
Speaker 14: every one time after and a couple of students came

844
00:35:31,268 --> 00:35:33,308
Speaker 14: up to me and thanked me for what I had

845
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:33,868
Speaker 14: to say to him.

846
00:35:33,908 --> 00:35:34,668
Speaker 9: So that was amazing.

847
00:35:34,948 --> 00:35:37,268
Speaker 14: You know, I got to reach about fifteen to twenty people.

848
00:35:37,348 --> 00:35:40,468
Speaker 14: That was really my goal, man, just trying to reach somebody.

849
00:35:41,668 --> 00:35:43,468
Speaker 8: Hey, no, I got I'm a little jealous here when

850
00:35:43,468 --> 00:35:45,828
Speaker 8: I'm writing off this question because like, I grew up

851
00:35:45,868 --> 00:35:48,148
Speaker 8: watching this guy and I wish I could have done

852
00:35:48,188 --> 00:35:50,228
Speaker 8: this with you. But last year you're a mess crossbal

853
00:35:50,268 --> 00:35:54,308
Speaker 8: spotty training in the orthogon was Chuck Liddell, Like Chuck Lindell.

854
00:35:54,748 --> 00:35:56,908
Speaker 8: That's one of those things that's like, that's amazing to do.

855
00:35:57,188 --> 00:35:59,068
Speaker 8: What if that training helped What helps you out with

856
00:35:59,148 --> 00:35:59,548
Speaker 8: your game?

Speaker 14: Just physicality, being able, you know, get off lost, being

00:36:05,908 --> 00:36:08,148
Speaker 14: able to get guys on the ground, being able to

859
00:36:08,228 --> 00:36:09,348
Speaker 14: just feel my best.

Speaker 9: You know, I'm not overtraining.

861
00:36:10,748 --> 00:36:13,428
Speaker 14: I feel like it's the right and sometimes guys can overtrain,

862
00:36:13,508 --> 00:36:15,788
Speaker 14: but I feel like with those guys, they got the

863
00:36:15,868 --> 00:36:18,508
Speaker 14: best interest in me, not them, but they connected with

864
00:36:18,588 --> 00:36:20,868
Speaker 14: my team and it's going good.
