Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, will squat in your Airbnb.
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the NFL Podcast.
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Jansas. I'm coming to you from
Speaker 1: the city filled with breas in Bunker's Mark Sessler, Chris
Speaker 1: Wesley is a boys Hey an hump day to day,
Speaker 1: hat day that day West any pressure. Now that I'm
Speaker 1: wearing a hat and Mark's wearing a hack, Greg's wearing
Speaker 1: a hat that you perhaps should be wearing a hat,
Speaker 1: it's a little weird because it used to be. You
Speaker 1: know when when when this show first started, you go
Speaker 1: back six seven years, I was the one wearing a
Speaker 1: hat almost every show. In fact, I remember a few
Speaker 1: times when TV tried to get me to lose the hat,
Speaker 1: and I said, who are you that's helped me to
Speaker 1: lose my hat? Yeah, those were the first Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: by the way, our old producer who is now I
Speaker 1: believe the right hand man of Lebron James over at whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he's like the right hand man.
Speaker 1: It's not like all right, it's like two person meeting
Speaker 1: Lebron and t D. Let's decide the future of this company.
Speaker 1: I think it is. And we saw t D in
Speaker 1: January at the Super Bowl before the world ended, and
Speaker 1: he seemed to really be uh you know, he looked good,
Speaker 1: he was talking confident, He had a nice stage set
Speaker 1: up over at Radio Row. I think TD is making
Speaker 1: some good decisions in life. What does the name of
Speaker 1: that company works for? Uninterrupted? It is nice that you
Speaker 1: have men defences after your you know, your offensive imitation
Speaker 1: of his mom really caused some friction. That was problematic.
Speaker 1: That was great. I always had a really good relationship
Speaker 1: with TV, but that was the one time I i
Speaker 1: I ran a foul of him. Uh. He said, you could,
Speaker 1: you could do whatever you want, but don't don't talk
Speaker 1: about my mother. I think he said there, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't ail the impression. I mean that should know you
Speaker 1: did not. I think part of the issue was that
Speaker 1: you were about a mile and a half off from
Speaker 1: an accurate impression of TV. It was dead on, dead on,
Speaker 1: and he just didn't like it was felt too real
Speaker 1: to have her in the conversation. I think it made
Speaker 1: everyone uncomfortable. Well that's what I'm here for. Somebody's got
Speaker 1: a you know, spice things up, especially in these times. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if if we need to be giving
Speaker 1: you that title either, but in that specific case, you
Speaker 1: made people uncomfortable in uh the wrong way. It really
Speaker 1: spiced alright, alright, worlddres Van, keep talking. Hey listen, I'm
Speaker 1: just um, you know, I'm monitoring that Austin Hedges Francisco
Speaker 1: Mejia catcher battle there. I mean you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: platoon them both, I think a little bit. But um,
Speaker 1: I'm plugged in. Wow, you were ready for that because
Speaker 1: Mark like looked off screen at some No, I don't
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen again. I bought this hat as
Speaker 1: a celebration of s is um bachelor weekend when we
Speaker 1: went to a Padres Reds game. And you know, I
Speaker 1: have no loyalties to the Padres, but um to just
Speaker 1: I knew you would come at me and say, I
Speaker 1: have you know my baseball? My baseball narrative doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: I don't think about baseball compared to you, you guys, please,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also, Daniel Jeremiah's favorite team, So you
Speaker 1: guys have that in common. Oh yeah, we're we are linking.
Speaker 1: We're almost from your anniversary, right, we gotta be west
Speaker 1: that we was almost a year ago. We were all
Speaker 1: on Tybee Island together, right, it was five nine, we're
Speaker 1: about week away. It's a good thing you didn't get
Speaker 1: married on five nineteen twenty. That's true. That's true. I
Speaker 1: talked to some people who are getting married this summer
Speaker 1: and they're still going through with it, a lot of them,
Speaker 1: but their party has been reduced from two hundred to
Speaker 1: thirty mm. Probably ends up saving them, you know, in
Speaker 1: the excess of five ten twenty. So I think I
Speaker 1: look back on and sea is it a blessing not
Speaker 1: to mention the overly expensive honeymoon that you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of years out feels excessive? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it again, uh any differently, But do I
Speaker 1: remember a lot about my wedding day? Not a ton
Speaker 1: And then when you factor in what, you know, the
Speaker 1: guap that was dropped on it, it's like maybe something
Speaker 1: a little bit more stripped down and not a travel
Speaker 1: wedding and all that stuff. Maybe that would have been
Speaker 1: the way to go. I don't know, but that's just me.
Speaker 1: You're only one man trying to fight an entire wedding industry.
Speaker 1: I mean, you got no chance. That's true. Coming up
Speaker 1: on today's show. We are going to get you caught
Speaker 1: up on what's really turned into a very a slog
Speaker 1: on the new NFL news end of things. It's slowed down,
Speaker 1: and I think we all expected this to happen. Now
Speaker 1: that free agency is over, the draft is in the
Speaker 1: rear view, even the schedule release is gone, and um
Speaker 1: now it's a matter of trying to pass through, you know,
Speaker 1: players giving interviews to various UH news sites or calmness
Speaker 1: and virtual workout updates and things of that nature. Uniform rollouts.
Speaker 1: That's what we got for you today. Now we're gonna
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it the best we can. We're gonna entertain,
Speaker 1: but are we gonna Are you gonna hear anything news wise?
Speaker 1: What we're about to do that's gonna change the way
Speaker 1: you view the league or make you think differently about
Speaker 1: your team. Maybe maybe not. No promises, that's ourselves for
Speaker 1: today's show. No promises. Let's do some news. The one
Speaker 1: thing that I really trust about Tom Brady is uh,
Speaker 1: just who he is as a person. What is happening
Speaker 1: on this the episode of this podcast. What what was that?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I did not come up with that.
Speaker 1: It's nice is I think that was from Friday's show.
Speaker 1: Was that from our network show you went on You
Speaker 1: went on a podcast, Mark, and someone tweeted it out
Speaker 1: and you went in this whole serious monologue about how
Speaker 1: you trust Tom Brady as a person and how he
Speaker 1: handles the off season, and uh, I saw it. I
Speaker 1: saw it. So I am going to spend the rest
Speaker 1: of my day finding out auxiliary shows that Erica has
Speaker 1: appeared on the One thing that I really trust about
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is uh, just okay, I am going to
Speaker 1: I am now on a mission and it is going
Speaker 1: to be a dangerous one for all involved. You retweeted
Speaker 1: it like it's on. I have no problem with the
Speaker 1: fact that it existed, but you know, to pull quote
Speaker 1: me in that manner tom Brady handles the off season
Speaker 1: is just something to admire. I would I would like
Speaker 1: to have someone do like an analytical deep dive on
Speaker 1: Mark's podcast appearances elsewhere, because he might he might be
Speaker 1: a totally different person and analyst. I feel like a
Speaker 1: different podcast than he is here. Well, I think that
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's completely I'm a lesser person when
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, eternally attached to four other people
Speaker 1: and every single thing I do. The one thing that
Speaker 1: I really trust about Tom Brady, that will be fine
Speaker 1: if just you know I I honestly, you are simply
Speaker 1: adding to the arsenal at this point. He's like when
Speaker 1: he's on other podcasts, he's like you remember George Will
Speaker 1: used to talk about that. He's like, he's like that,
Speaker 1: He's like a wise old man. You know, all right,
Speaker 1: I've added Greg to the time. I'm gonna go find
Speaker 1: stuff that Greg is doune elsewhere, and it is going
Speaker 1: it's going to be an absolute um you know a
Speaker 1: quotation massacre. You're all going to feel the heat. Cats. Yes,
Speaker 1: will there be cats involved or different shades of blue? No,
Speaker 1: I don't trust cats. You know that that was your
Speaker 1: last bit of revenge a little bit more than cats.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. The NFL has extended its virtual
Speaker 1: offseason program through at least May nine. Originally it had
Speaker 1: been set to run through May, so now another two
Speaker 1: weeks have been added. This is not an unexpected situation.
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know that the initial hopes back
Speaker 1: in March is that a couple of months of discipline
Speaker 1: would lead to things getting maybe start to getting on track.
Speaker 1: And in fact, here in California, they just extended the
Speaker 1: stay at home order to shelter in place through the
Speaker 1: end of July, so it essentially wipes out our summer. Um.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna just happen everywhere in league. Even as
Speaker 1: as things open up across the across the country, is
Speaker 1: thinks slowly begin to open up in the NFL is
Speaker 1: just not gonna be as fast. Uh. Teams will continue
Speaker 1: to hold zoom meetings with players. Workouts obviously won't be
Speaker 1: done together, but he's out on their own. This can
Speaker 1: have major effects on how football ends up being played
Speaker 1: in September, if football has played at all. Well, as
Speaker 1: you alluded to, some states are opening up, some states aren't.
Speaker 1: And Mike Tomlin, Steelers coach, came out pretty strongly and
Speaker 1: a statement that basically this goes against not just the
Speaker 1: NFL but football in general the way it operates. Everybody
Speaker 1: must be on equal footing or you don't have a
Speaker 1: fair sport. And this buys them two weeks to work with,
Speaker 1: but eventually they're gonna have to confront this situation. Well.
Speaker 1: One one part of the statement that the NFL released
Speaker 1: that was clear was the workout programs are concluding by
Speaker 1: June the latest. Regardless whether it's virtual or you can
Speaker 1: get back into the building, it's it's over by then.
Speaker 1: And this, you know, I'm not saying it's a surprising move,
Speaker 1: but they did kind of quietly announced that they were
Speaker 1: hopeful to maybe start phasing in some facilities reopening on
Speaker 1: May fifteenth. It was just, you know, just a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago that they thought, okay, maybe some injured players,
Speaker 1: some medical personnel would be like a small percentage of
Speaker 1: people start coming in. And so that's already been pushed back,
Speaker 1: and that might be the first phase. And who knows
Speaker 1: that might be allowed here in California. I mean, even
Speaker 1: though you know it's not going to go back to
Speaker 1: just everything is back to normal, I think that's going
Speaker 1: to be the case everywhere through the summer. There are
Speaker 1: some phase reopening even here beaches for instance, uh you know,
Speaker 1: are reopening their some some businesses and so maybe they'll
Speaker 1: be able to figure things out. Maybe NFL Network will
Speaker 1: reopen at some point. We have no idea though. The
Speaker 1: one group of people that I would think about and
Speaker 1: all this is, you know, it's it's nice to have
Speaker 1: players back at some point. But they're a vast chunk
Speaker 1: of NFL coaches and building personnel that are over there
Speaker 1: in that age range, the older rage range where Corona
Speaker 1: is um excessively dangerous for them. Like I'm not hearing
Speaker 1: much about that, but are you clumping all these people
Speaker 1: back that typically would not if they had another job,
Speaker 1: would not veer out. And I'm talking in the cities
Speaker 1: and Law Angeles and New York and stuff. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: leave their homes to face any sort of a danger.
Speaker 1: But um, if they're an NFL employee, they have to
Speaker 1: go back into the fray. I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the NFL is saying to do that,
Speaker 1: but it's the next factor. Joe Judge, the Giants coach, said,
Speaker 1: I think said it made an interesting point on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: asking like, well, these players are all over the country.
Speaker 1: It's not like, hey, we can just go drive over
Speaker 1: to the facility. Some some players can, but they're all
Speaker 1: over the country. And he said, you know, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: ask my sons to get on a plane right now,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to ask my players to And
Speaker 1: then you know that that's a that's a first time
Speaker 1: head coach. And in related news, we touched on the
Speaker 1: NFL schedule release on Monday show, but I just wanted
Speaker 1: to add here that Roger Goodell said, uh, least there's
Speaker 1: schedule is going to be flexible. And one of those, um,
Speaker 1: one bit of flexibility is that they are building in
Speaker 1: week two. Opponents all have the same bye week, so
Speaker 1: that will give in case, I guess the beginning or
Speaker 1: what was scheduled to be at beginning of the season,
Speaker 1: if that ever got wiped away, those two teams can
Speaker 1: be you can figure out where to build in a matchup,
Speaker 1: um later in the season. This is all stuff again,
Speaker 1: it's it's all up in the air right now, and
Speaker 1: the NFL is just trying to do the best they can,
Speaker 1: just like everybody else. I think, what one one thing,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it helps, it hurts, but it's
Speaker 1: just gonna really instruct the NFL. And our experience with
Speaker 1: this is that the other sports in theory are gonna
Speaker 1: go first or have a chance to, whether it's baseball
Speaker 1: or basketball trying to come back in some form this season.
Speaker 1: You know, NASCAR is returning this week. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: without without fans, like there's you know, the Premier League
Speaker 1: in in the UK, is you know, talking about maybe
Speaker 1: they're gonna get back together, like those are all gonna
Speaker 1: be taking steps and whether that happens or not, but
Speaker 1: like the whether that goes well are not like the
Speaker 1: lessons they learned. Like that's all probably going to be
Speaker 1: ahead of the NFL and they're gonna end up taking
Speaker 1: their cues. You've got to think essentially from what happens
Speaker 1: in every other sport. Well, the NFL is also monitoring.
Speaker 1: I believe it was soccer in Germany that's attempting to
Speaker 1: get back on the field because it's a closer sport
Speaker 1: in terms of how much contact and physicality you'd have.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's nice they can open up. Not Nascar,
Speaker 1: but you're buddled inside an automobile. But football is a
Speaker 1: completely different um. And you know, Dr Fauci mentioned this
Speaker 1: in his interview with Peter King that the the ability
Speaker 1: to transfer coronavirus from one person to the next um
Speaker 1: in football is a different situation than any other sport. Really,
Speaker 1: I there's a there's a lot to adjust to. Greatest
Speaker 1: NASCAR NASCAR driver of all time, Mark Sessler. Petty there
Speaker 1: you go, love Kyle Petty, act. Richard Petty, Richard Petty,
Speaker 1: the atist NASCAR driver in history. Give me one j Johnson.
Speaker 1: All right, it's Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Jr. Johnson. Tom Woff
Speaker 1: wrote a big article about him in the sixties. Okay,
Speaker 1: well there wasn't podcast numbers in the South. They're going
Speaker 1: through the floor right now. Jimmy Johnson is a current
Speaker 1: driver who's tied for the most championships ever. I think
Speaker 1: Dale Earnhart might be tied with him. Let's give the
Speaker 1: number three. That's the answer, number three, Dale, Jeff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody brings up Dale Nard or the eliminator was That
Speaker 1: was essentially Greg's answer, wasn't it? When I worked for
Speaker 1: the Post Office, Mark Martin was in my fantasy NASCAR driver. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a Fontana four hundred Auto Race Speedway
Speaker 1: four hundred season ticket holder two straight years. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm signed up. I'm back there next year. Put that
Speaker 1: on your Twitter bio. And I was just testing you.
Speaker 1: He wasn't the terminator, he was the intimidator. Number three.
Speaker 1: Fair learned hard? All right, moving, Ricky. How about your
Speaker 1: favorite NASCAR driver ever? Jeff Gordon duh so you're attracted
Speaker 1: to Jeff Gordon based on your inflection there? Okay, he
Speaker 1: way into Jeff Gordon physically. We learned that today in
Speaker 1: the news. Moving on Sammy Watkins. Who's that goof for
Speaker 1: the guy that was the GM in Buffalo? Uh? The
Speaker 1: last thing he did really was trade up to get
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins Watkins? Uh? Was Whaley Doug Welly? Right? Didn't work?
Speaker 1: It wasn't that Whales moved Yeah, yeah, I mean come
Speaker 1: on now. He he went all in on Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: and it was kind of build at the time, as
Speaker 1: you know, well, he's last stand. This guy's got to
Speaker 1: be a star. Sammy Watkins was never a star with
Speaker 1: the Bills, and he We learned more about him in
Speaker 1: a feature written by Frank Schwab of Yahoo's Sports Tyler
Speaker 1: Tyler Tyler Dunn. All Right, everybody calmed down. Give it
Speaker 1: to the aggregator. You gotta go to this source, Frank
Speaker 1: scha big spot for Frank schis like Frank's moment, known
Speaker 1: him a long time, good for good guy. I happen
Speaker 1: to enjoy Frank's aggregate right up quite a bit. Tyler
Speaker 1: Dunn of Bleacher Report, you know he he really got
Speaker 1: the quotes you want. He got the juice on Sammy Watkins.
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins was drinking too much of that juice, Greg
Speaker 1: Rosenthal during his time up in Western New York, and
Speaker 1: he says that contributed to his downfall there and his
Speaker 1: issues staying on the field and being the star that
Speaker 1: the Bills and Doug Whaley needed him to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said he was in a really dark place in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: that he went out and he got in his words, wasted,
Speaker 1: wasted every night, and that um, well there's an italic, right,
Speaker 1: So he was saying wasted, wasted and saying that italic,
Speaker 1: saying that that contributed to his injuries and his immaturity.
Speaker 1: And there there's a lot in this article that is
Speaker 1: fascinating he you know, you're trying to hope he's over
Speaker 1: the you know, his mental hurdles that he's gone through.
Speaker 1: But then there's other stuff in this where he's very
Speaker 1: much back and forth. That the thing to me that
Speaker 1: struck me most about how it could impact, you know,
Speaker 1: moving forward, is he said very clearly he's not coming
Speaker 1: back to the Chiefs to be like the fourth Banna.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't get if he says if he doesn't
Speaker 1: get his thousand yards and ten touchdowns and a hundred catches,
Speaker 1: I think he threw out um, then there's gonna I
Speaker 1: forget what the words were, but there was gonna be
Speaker 1: hell to pay, essentially, which would and before he signed
Speaker 1: the extension though right like I I don't know reading
Speaker 1: this thing, I came away with it with incredible sympathy
Speaker 1: for Sammy Watkins, to be honest. I mean, he talked
Speaker 1: about when he was in that dark place in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: that there was some legal stuff happening with his you know,
Speaker 1: circle of friends that sent um almost everyone he knew
Speaker 1: to prison. He had four family members die and you know,
Speaker 1: in the drinking and addiction was hurting his body, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know the one I don't know. I mean it's
Speaker 1: like he you have to be accountable for your role,
Speaker 1: but I mean he was fighting through some stuff that
Speaker 1: is incomprehensible to me. Well, my two takeaways from this
Speaker 1: were one, there's no such thing as a can't miss prospect,
Speaker 1: and he's exhibit a there. I mean, in a draft
Speaker 1: with Odell Beckham, with Allen Robinson, with Mike Evans, he
Speaker 1: was the consensus top receiver, one of the best wide
Speaker 1: receiver drafts in history. No one mocked the Bills for
Speaker 1: for trading up for him because he was that highly
Speaker 1: thought of who knew he was gonna have a drinking
Speaker 1: problem and be out. I mean, you would think that
Speaker 1: they did their home and they still didn't know all this.
Speaker 1: And the second takeaway is it's really hard to go
Speaker 1: through life alone. He sequestered himself. He didn't have a mentor,
Speaker 1: he didn't have a teacher, and then even still today,
Speaker 1: the way he's teaching himself. I admire him for for
Speaker 1: trying to learn, but you have to have a base
Speaker 1: of science if you're going to look into all this stuff.
Speaker 1: And he admits he had no base. He didn't pay
Speaker 1: attention in class, he didn't do anything. And now he's
Speaker 1: decided to learn seven for six months on YouTube. And
Speaker 1: he believes all kinds of stuff, most of it outlandish.
Speaker 1: Some of it's pretty sensible, but most of it outlandish.
Speaker 1: What did you think about the like dark energy stuff
Speaker 1: in the different world. That's the part that him believing
Speaker 1: he was an alien and stuff like. I feel like
Speaker 1: Mark is the guy wanted to do well. I mean
Speaker 1: here's the thing though, I mean I think if you
Speaker 1: I agree with West that he imported a lot of
Speaker 1: information from shaky sources, and it's very like a lot
Speaker 1: of his views don't even seem to drive up together.
Speaker 1: But um, I mean it also went through and Tyler
Speaker 1: Dunn does these articles well, and he's done a bunch
Speaker 1: of them, but it went through the Twitter mill where
Speaker 1: he was just being picked apart I think by a
Speaker 1: lot of people that didn't even read the piece. And
Speaker 1: I yes, his views are out there, but um, if
Speaker 1: we're at the point where someone who believes in alien
Speaker 1: life is a is a lunatic on Twitter, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I just have a problem. But there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff like I I I'm not
Speaker 1: I wouldn't vouch for all of it, but there were
Speaker 1: I think he just is dealing with aspects of things
Speaker 1: where he's not gotten the full um helping of knowledge
Speaker 1: on some of it, or gone down that road. He's
Speaker 1: a young guy who it's weird. Mike Tyson went through
Speaker 1: a phase like this. I remember reading about it in
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated and he started spitting out quotes that I
Speaker 1: honestly thought, like, is this actually Mike Tyson speaking like
Speaker 1: the stuff coming out of his mouth was like he
Speaker 1: had when he went to jail. He started reading amazing
Speaker 1: amounts of stuff and was figuring things out. It's someone
Speaker 1: who hadn't had the benefit of the same education that
Speaker 1: you know someone else comes out of with the scientific
Speaker 1: you point, I mean walkings like to your point, isolated
Speaker 1: to a degree that bad things are going to happen.
Speaker 1: And I I don't know if he can control the
Speaker 1: mind of an opponent in the action of an opponent,
Speaker 1: as he says he did when he had a hundred
Speaker 1: yards and the opener last year, why not do it
Speaker 1: every week? It's no one saying everything he said. My
Speaker 1: feeling about what was what give me a little more
Speaker 1: context on this comment that heads are gonna roll or
Speaker 1: whatever if I don't get my he said, he's had
Speaker 1: many years to do that. Now. He went back and
Speaker 1: forth a lot, and I think, look, he's a searcher,
Speaker 1: and I think he's you know, he's up and down.
Speaker 1: It seems like mentally throughout last season, he admitted. But
Speaker 1: what he said was before he even resigned, that if
Speaker 1: I do resign, if I don't get you know, my
Speaker 1: thousand yards in twelve touchdowns in a hundred targets, then
Speaker 1: it's gonna be World War three and not you know
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Cool. I mean, it just seems
Speaker 1: like everybody's a huge fan of this guy. But where's
Speaker 1: the countabile when he got the whole building fired? And
Speaker 1: uh and when he's those comments like that, and the
Speaker 1: guy who's been a historical underachiever, he's emotional. But you
Speaker 1: know who is a huge fan and I really respected
Speaker 1: even more, not that I needed to, was Andy Reid
Speaker 1: in this piece. Andy Reid knew how to connect with him.
Speaker 1: And Andy Reid means a lot to him in his life,
Speaker 1: and like he seems to be a huge fan of
Speaker 1: Sandy Watkins and Patrick Mahomes seems to be a huge fan.
Speaker 1: But you do, you do get worried that if things
Speaker 1: don't go well, And he talked about that there's other
Speaker 1: members of the Chiefs that he believes has dark matter
Speaker 1: and dark energy that you know that that is something
Speaker 1: that I'm sure concerns Andy Reid too, that he wants
Speaker 1: to make sure that that stays above board, right. And
Speaker 1: when we're saying everyone loves him, I I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to come out as some sort of pro everything Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins said, But the darkness and the addiction that he
Speaker 1: dealt with, you know that's not simply out of his
Speaker 1: own actions. I mean that's thrust on some people. And
Speaker 1: you know that that's not a new story in the
Speaker 1: NFL either. I mean Brett Farve dealt with that for
Speaker 1: a long time and it nearly destroyed his career and
Speaker 1: got out of it. So my hope is just that
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and this isn't the final thing that we
Speaker 1: remember about him. It should be said that he made
Speaker 1: one of the biggest plays of Super Bowl fifty four,
Speaker 1: Um juke or just blew past Richard Sherman and made
Speaker 1: that huge catch down the sideline one late in the
Speaker 1: game and went five on six targets. So it's he's
Speaker 1: had one of the more and he's still a young guy.
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty seven or twenty eight now. Um,
Speaker 1: he has flashed throughout his career, has never put it
Speaker 1: all together. And I think with professional sports and are
Speaker 1: watching this Jordan documentary that to be a star and
Speaker 1: to be successful in some ways, the mental side is
Speaker 1: just as important as the physical. And maybe there are
Speaker 1: aspects of his personality that have held him back from
Speaker 1: ever achieving his full physical capability. I think he would
Speaker 1: he would agree with that. It is really interesting how
Speaker 1: he's played his best in the biggest games. He also
Speaker 1: the game winning catch in the a f C Championship
Speaker 1: this year against the Titans, the play that really put
Speaker 1: the Titans away. He also dominated against the Patriots and
Speaker 1: that comeback and you know, was one of the most
Speaker 1: valuable Chiefs in that game, went over a hundred plus yards.
Speaker 1: So it's crazy he's even though he's kind of been
Speaker 1: a disappointment for the Rams and the Chiefs, he had
Speaker 1: some big moments in big games. I think he's also
Speaker 1: one of the few players um on NFL dot Com
Speaker 1: to have to making the leap articles written about him,
Speaker 1: so you know that's something he can alright, So Lamar
Speaker 1: Miller about that. Lamar Miller is the only three timer
Speaker 1: I think he I think he got it every year.
Speaker 1: By the way, Sammy Watkins is still twenty six years old.
Speaker 1: Did he come into the league when he was nine? Yes,
Speaker 1: he well, yeah, he was the youngest guy of all those.
Speaker 1: I think he was a young twenty, which is it
Speaker 1: shows you how you could start struggling. He's also I mean,
Speaker 1: one of his powers is he's able to change his
Speaker 1: physical age Dan according to the article, So I think
Speaker 1: that I'm not sure he's I think he was older previously.
Speaker 1: Is he Benjamin Button ng the NFL? Right now, I
Speaker 1: don't have more information. He believes. You know, we've all
Speaker 1: this is that we've all lived. I'm going to Frank
Speaker 1: Schwab to find out more. We've all lived, you know,
Speaker 1: multiple lives, and that he is. He is like the
Speaker 1: dead version of him. He might be his son in
Speaker 1: his own body. He's the future and past. He can
Speaker 1: do anything except to have a consistent one thousand yards
Speaker 1: season at any point and keep Doug Waley employed. Well,
Speaker 1: Doug Waley, that is not Doug Whaley's only issue. Well
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, please, I think the only man Mark you
Speaker 1: respect more than Sammy Watkins is Tom Brady. Now, I
Speaker 1: I knew the minute that I like stood up for
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins that I'd get killed on this wrong. It's like,
Speaker 1: I'm not killing Dan is not killing you. He was.
Speaker 1: He was playing a rightful um you know, other side here.
Speaker 1: So Greg saw that I was giving the contrarianside, not
Speaker 1: cont but it was it was a voice of that
Speaker 1: to be balanced. I agree we are a little balance
Speaker 1: if you and if you read Frank Schwab's aggregate piece,
Speaker 1: he added some of that balance as well. That's what
Speaker 1: Shaw does, man, I mean, that's how Frank. He's been
Speaker 1: in the game for a long time. Colorado Springs, he's
Speaker 1: been in the game. He's not the stump. The Schwab
Speaker 1: guy though, different different guy. Okay uh and other news
Speaker 1: who they are looking to get things going. We mentioned
Speaker 1: Joe Judge, he's the rookie head coach over there, and
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett was hired as offensive coordinator. It was an
Speaker 1: interesting pairing. Here is what Judge had to say to
Speaker 1: Pat Patricia Traina of Sports Illustrated. I think, schematically, the
Speaker 1: easiest way to describe our offense to the outside world
Speaker 1: right now is, you know, it's going to be similarly
Speaker 1: based on what Jason has done in Dallas. There's going
Speaker 1: to be some similarities, but it's got to cat two
Speaker 1: players we have on our roster. He said that, actually
Speaker 1: on a zoom call with reporters west, is that good
Speaker 1: or bad for the Giants? In if I was a
Speaker 1: fan of concerned me a little bit that what is
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett's offense, It was Scott Lenahan's offense for a while,
Speaker 1: it was Kellen Moore's when they were finally good last year.
Speaker 1: What was Jason Garretts when's the last time he ran
Speaker 1: his own offense? And if he was, if he was,
Speaker 1: you know, a joint venture with Lenahan, it would concern
Speaker 1: me that they were so unimaginative and everything had to
Speaker 1: run through the running back. I think it was conservative.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you look at the early years
Speaker 1: in Dallas when he kind of made his name that
Speaker 1: that was Garrett's offense, and yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: very conservative. And it just brought to mind to me
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, the second year quarterback who I think showed
Speaker 1: a lot of good and a lot of bad. And
Speaker 1: they're not going to have this offseason and that doesn't
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be excited about that. As as a Giants fan,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd be worried about Daniel. You know, you
Speaker 1: want Daniel to take a big step up, but here
Speaker 1: he is having to learn a brand new offense that
Speaker 1: you know, may or name may not be too aggressive.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it crazy to think that the Giants
Speaker 1: certainly looked like this kind of a team in this
Speaker 1: in a Dallas like offensive see Kwon Barkley. But in general,
Speaker 1: a lot of teams if if there is no training
Speaker 1: camp the way that we would expect um that the
Speaker 1: run heavy nature of the first two months of the
Speaker 1: season could be way off the charts compared two years past.
Speaker 1: As you're trying to get passing games even in sync.
Speaker 1: If you don't have the chance to do that, we'll
Speaker 1: be watching football. Yeah. I think if I was a
Speaker 1: Giants fan, I would be kind of okay with the
Speaker 1: idea of se Kwon Barkley back being the lead dog
Speaker 1: in this offense. He is one of the few guys
Speaker 1: He's on a very short list of running backs where
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I know the league goes in a
Speaker 1: different direction now, but let this man lead us and
Speaker 1: see where it takes us. But yeah, that all makes
Speaker 1: sense to me. I agree with you, guys, especially with
Speaker 1: a new coaching staff in place and a rookie quarterback who,
Speaker 1: while as Greg said, flashed um a lot of mistakes,
Speaker 1: obviously needs more reps and more time to develop as
Speaker 1: a pro quarterback. I mean, he's not bringing Tyronn Smith
Speaker 1: and Travis Frederick and Zack Martin and the Cowboys offensive
Speaker 1: line with him. That that's what I'd be worried about.
Speaker 1: But to be fair to Garrett, he's gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot more time to work on the offense because he's
Speaker 1: not the head coach anymore. So let's see if he
Speaker 1: grows and developed. That's fair. And of course the Giants
Speaker 1: did use their first pick, fourth overall on a franchise
Speaker 1: left tackle. Hopefully his name Andrew Thomas. Andrew Thomas, Thank you.
Speaker 1: Greg nailed it that piece on our site after he
Speaker 1: was drafted, and I wanted to call him Andrew something else. Yes,
Speaker 1: you were plugged in writing those dot com articles. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised another gray Beard is off the board. His name
Speaker 1: is Prince Amukamara. We actually talked about this last week
Speaker 1: when we checked in on the old top one oh
Speaker 1: one rankings and talked about how there were several guys
Speaker 1: out there in the second area that could help teams.
Speaker 1: Oh very nice. Uh so, Prince of Mukamara is a
Speaker 1: member of the Raiders, the former first round picks at
Speaker 1: time at the Bears. He is now a member of
Speaker 1: the Radar Raiders. And that seems like a nice landing spot.
Speaker 1: They needed some experience in the second area at cornerback.
Speaker 1: They went for Byron Jones and didn't get him. Uh,
Speaker 1: they went for Eli Apple and had to um reneg
Speaker 1: on the contract. And now the third choice is Prince
Speaker 1: of Mukamara. But they have so many rookies and second
Speaker 1: year guys. I thought it was a great pick up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They have Damon Arnette their first round pick. They have,
Speaker 1: you know, an interesting safety group. But Jonathan Abram, you know,
Speaker 1: the hard knocks star who got hurt, who's who's now back,
Speaker 1: the Marcus Joiner who's kind of safety you know, Nickel
Speaker 1: Corner and Damarius Randall, former former Brown. They are the team.
Speaker 1: I'm doing a projected Starters series, by the way, check
Speaker 1: that out NFL dot com. Last Projected Starters a f
Speaker 1: C West comes out on Thursday. But they are the
Speaker 1: team I think more than any in the a f C.
Speaker 1: Where I kind of was like, you know what, this
Speaker 1: team makes sense. Mayas done a good job. It's a
Speaker 1: little better than I you know, I like it more
Speaker 1: than I expected. I kind of see them as one
Speaker 1: of those six or seven seed type of playoff teams.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, they they crumbled down the
Speaker 1: stretch at the very end last year. But they were
Speaker 1: in position to potentially be a wild card last year
Speaker 1: with a with a roster full of holes, and I
Speaker 1: mean getting Abram back to me, I think he he
Speaker 1: could have been like a defensive Rookie of the Year candidate.
Speaker 1: I think they missed him so much last season. Look
Speaker 1: good on paper, Mayox doing his job. We'll see what happens. Also,
Speaker 1: another UM cornerback that people like a lot that hadn't signed,
Speaker 1: Logan Ryan. The New York Daily News said that the
Speaker 1: Jets were gonna sign him. The Dolphins are also in play,
Speaker 1: according to NFL Network. That's a question. I guess, I
Speaker 1: don't know where you put him. Maybe they invent a
Speaker 1: new position for Logan Ryan. But we'll see where he lands. Uh.
Speaker 1: In other news, I mean, here's the thing about Dale Earnhardt,
Speaker 1: the man. He went out tragic in a tragic way,
Speaker 1: but he went out doing what he loved, going around
Speaker 1: the going around that the circular, the big oval, as
Speaker 1: I call it, the left turn circuit. I mean, is
Speaker 1: it would be like if Jim Brown or Tom Brady
Speaker 1: like died playing football. I mean, I know it's not
Speaker 1: the same thing that I'll take it up a notch
Speaker 1: and we're not making light of this. It's like if
Speaker 1: one of an all time iconic player died in the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. It was like NASCAR's biggest race. Well and
Speaker 1: like the last lap. I remember talking to a guy
Speaker 1: played softball against back in what was it ninety seven
Speaker 1: when this happen, and um, two thoe was it? Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I thought it was in the nineties. I remember this
Speaker 1: guy said, Um, you know I was. I was all
Speaker 1: broke up when my mom died. But it was nothing
Speaker 1: compared to this. My memory is wrong too. I thought
Speaker 1: it was in the summer. I want to hear more
Speaker 1: about this guy. That's how big Dale Hard. I mean,
Speaker 1: NASCAR was at its peak then. That was as high
Speaker 1: as two thousand one. It was the Dayton of five hundred.
Speaker 1: I doubted it ever got more popular than it did then.
Speaker 1: NASCAR was peaking and everybody was an Earnhart fan. I
Speaker 1: think that freaked out a lot of casual fans. I
Speaker 1: would imagine they did change a lot of safety rules
Speaker 1: to tow after that. And at the Cozy Are our
Speaker 1: favorite neighborhood bar near the office that we used to
Speaker 1: work at before that, ended forever um. There was a
Speaker 1: giant number three intimidator poster on the wall. So the
Speaker 1: man even finds himself in an area like Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: seems like they might be into NASCAR to some degree
Speaker 1: or elements of the cozy um probably down with that.
Speaker 1: I'm and Greg, Wow, it's really my it's really my
Speaker 1: son Walker. But but his favorite guy, uh, what is
Speaker 1: his name? Alex Bowman. He's part of the Dayler and
Speaker 1: Heart Racing team. So they're still they're still going strong,
Speaker 1: not number three. That's cool, man. We're still gonna get
Speaker 1: a tech. We're gonna we're gonna get a text from
Speaker 1: Dan after this show. Uh, I think generally complaining about
Speaker 1: the show. I can I can feel it. I don't
Speaker 1: know talk. We're gonna get tweets from NASCAR fans though,
Speaker 1: according to official sales figures, the Navy Blue version of
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb's number, it's currently the fourteenth best selling jersey
Speaker 1: in the league. It's higher than any rookie that doesn't
Speaker 1: play quarterback, and it's better than any quarterback, any non
Speaker 1: current quarterback not named Gronk about that? Wow? Wow, that's cowboys,
Speaker 1: you know, always done in prime time but it's also
Speaker 1: it's as, is there a more iconic, you know number
Speaker 1: that's at least a non quarterback number for any position
Speaker 1: in any team than eight with with the Cowboys Urban
Speaker 1: Dez Drew Pearson. Who am I forgetting a lot of
Speaker 1: people think Pearson should have been the last guy to
Speaker 1: wear number eighty eight and the DEAs became a star, right,
Speaker 1: you retired eighty eight for some of the what from
Speaker 1: what these guys did, But um, it's that's not an
Speaker 1: option with Dallas, I think Greg is right. I can't
Speaker 1: think of another non QB. Well, you know what they get,
Speaker 1: they end up getting more pop because we wouldn't be
Speaker 1: talking about like they keep passing it. I remember Irvin
Speaker 1: saying that more it's like they talk. He's like they
Speaker 1: talked about I'm not gonna do a nervand impression. They
Speaker 1: talk about me more basically because they you know, because
Speaker 1: because Daz is wearing it, because they're always talking about
Speaker 1: the legacy. This would have been way more interesting if
Speaker 1: you if you did an Irvan give us. I'll be
Speaker 1: afraid it's too close to TD's mom, so I'm not
Speaker 1: going to She was Jamaican, Like if you wear a
Speaker 1: number eighty eight, and you're a wide receiver on the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: If you punch your ticket to the hall, very good, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you better be good? All right? Take that. So I
Speaker 1: just googled it. I wouldn't have remembered this off the
Speaker 1: top of my head. The only problem is, you know,
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful. They gave it to Antonio Brian
Speaker 1: for two years. I don't even remember him Cowboys. So
Speaker 1: so they can't all be winners, No, they can't. There's
Speaker 1: one other rookie to appear in the top twenty, Jerry Judy.
Speaker 1: So the Broncos fans up there, they're always a passionate
Speaker 1: fan base and always filling up that big stadium. They're excited.
Speaker 1: Who's number one? I used to write this article? I
Speaker 1: remember was number one two atops the list, his number one,
Speaker 1: his number one on the sales chart, and his white
Speaker 1: jersey is in second place. So to a fever down
Speaker 1: there in South Florida. It's just rookies are all? Does
Speaker 1: it include like Tom Brady, all the different color combos
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's ranked
Speaker 1: third through sixth. He has to he has to be
Speaker 1: the Jordan's of Jersey movement all time in the NFL
Speaker 1: at this point, because he's been around forever. All those
Speaker 1: Pats fans wore out there first and second Brady jerseys
Speaker 1: and got another one probably uh, and a uniform changes.
Speaker 1: And now he goes to Tampa and everybody's buying all
Speaker 1: these you know, Pewter and white ones. Let's fly. Well,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta buy it now before you know,
Speaker 1: before he's benched for who's their backup right now? Blaine Gabbertt,
Speaker 1: Blaine Gabbertt. You know we've seen that happen before. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see where else. Gronkowski, Rob Gronkowski. His Tampa jerseys
Speaker 1: are both Jersey seventh and ninth and West Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: the black number nine sitting in eighth place. Cincinnati's going
Speaker 1: crazy the West side. They are catching that Bengals favor.
Speaker 1: How about your family, how about you getting realigned with
Speaker 1: your family in a big spot. Well, my family is
Speaker 1: aligned as non Bengals fans. Got everyone there. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of them that like the Bengals aren't there. I
Speaker 1: would love to go to a Westling family union and
Speaker 1: actually have conversations with each of the Westling brothers to
Speaker 1: see where they come down in this. I think there's
Speaker 1: some Bengals fans in that mix. I don't think you
Speaker 1: can find much support. I think maybe in the years
Speaker 1: when they do well, you'll catch a couple of them
Speaker 1: hoping they win. But I don't think most years are
Speaker 1: gonna find much support. What is this trend of like
Speaker 1: Tom Brady Pewter is number four and Tom Brady is
Speaker 1: number five, that this is a new I'm not into that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just just adm adam up together popular
Speaker 1: that people are buying the different versions. What's what's wrong
Speaker 1: with that? They never used that, we've never used to
Speaker 1: know the different version didn't break it out to such
Speaker 1: an extent. Right should be combined and he should be
Speaker 1: listed as number one potentially if if that's how they
Speaker 1: must be, how they used to do it with like
Speaker 1: home in a Way and and all this stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, are we talking RAMS uniforms? I did that
Speaker 1: get squashed or not? I mean this would be the
Speaker 1: time if anybody's pumped up about the Rams uniforms, go ahead,
Speaker 1: fire away. I would say this. I like them better
Speaker 1: than a lot of people seem to on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: mean they got pretty savaged. Um. The numbers look a
Speaker 1: little weird to me, but I can warm up to
Speaker 1: them more than I than their previous ones. To be honest,
Speaker 1: I got a little sick of the old rams. I
Speaker 1: think I saw a lot or at least some very
Speaker 1: positive ones too. It seemed like it was like all
Speaker 1: or nothing, which is I know what the uniform take
Speaker 1: business has become. It's either just like okay, fire, you know,
Speaker 1: and like every like this is great, or it's like
Speaker 1: I wouldn't wear this if, like, you know, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: give this to a homeless person. This is you know,
Speaker 1: this is trash like it's all it's. It's never just
Speaker 1: like oh yeah, these pretty good uniforms. I totally agree.
Speaker 1: And that's I think what burnt me out on this stuff.
Speaker 1: I used to care about this stuff, and then I
Speaker 1: guess I worked for the company too long and wrote
Speaker 1: too many articles and now that's all I It just
Speaker 1: annoys me because there's no such take as oh these
Speaker 1: are pretty good. I like these. I didn't like that
Speaker 1: as much. It's either these are super fire or it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: CFL uniform anybody. Greg opened his Greg opened his argument
Speaker 1: about the Rams, saying that along with the negative comments,
Speaker 1: there were positive comments. Yeah, I'm saying there were some
Speaker 1: really aggressive like yes, these are incredible, but yeah, it's
Speaker 1: never just likes go on Twitter and say these uniforms
Speaker 1: are all right, it's gonna pay attention to right sign
Speaker 1: for Twitter Twitter. Twitter needs to be furloughed. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I need to furlough right now. I put
Speaker 1: that thing on break for a month. Please. I like
Speaker 1: your bone uniform. The helmet was cool. Beyond that, I
Speaker 1: can't really criticize what I don't understand. Yeah, the gradient
Speaker 1: stuff on the numbers, I have no idea what's going
Speaker 1: on there. Like a lot of the stuff I just
Speaker 1: don't even understand. It is a legit big RAMS fan.
Speaker 1: And you know, the one thing with her is she's
Speaker 1: she's just confused. Like the logo is confused, you know,
Speaker 1: is confusing to her. She's like, isn't that a Charger's like?
Speaker 1: And I and I just think, like, when you're creating
Speaker 1: some confusion the logo, that one logo is just a
Speaker 1: little confusing. I think that's the killer. The uniforms are nice.
Speaker 1: Everybody says nobody cares about the Chargers, but justin Herbert's
Speaker 1: powder blue number ten is twelfth overall. Well, you're everyone
Speaker 1: who had a River's jersey can't really he's not able
Speaker 1: to wear that the same way. And quick get the
Speaker 1: new quarterbacks number. M hm, the number one overall, they
Speaker 1: had a bigger fan base. Those jerseys are sweet and
Speaker 1: uh also in the top fifteen, and this again mark
Speaker 1: speaks to the amount of respect this man is engendered
Speaker 1: through the years. A woman's version of Brady tom Brady's
Speaker 1: jersey is also in the top fifteen. One thing that
Speaker 1: I was trusted on Tom Brady is just who he
Speaker 1: is as a person, all right, Well, and I am
Speaker 1: I think number one that is accurate. I don't like
Speaker 1: the way it's been um treated on this show at all. Ricky,
Speaker 1: would you wear a Tom Brady Bucks jersey? No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1: I want to like support him, but nah, because of
Speaker 1: the pert kind of person he is. Eric Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: his just dedication to the craft, especially in the off season,
Speaker 1: is just something that we all really can respect. It's paramount.
Speaker 1: So why don't why don't you get a Jared Stidham number,
Speaker 1: you know, forty seven or whatever it is, because because
Speaker 1: I'm not because I'm not gonna get it. And then
Speaker 1: if he's not going to be the quarterback, especially what West. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but shows some faith in the great genius Belichick that
Speaker 1: he knows all and he's been, you know, playing everybody
Speaker 1: the rope adope the whole time. This kid can play.
Speaker 1: Get the jersey. That's how you show off your you know,
Speaker 1: Patriot fan bonafides. No, I'm gonna wait a little bit
Speaker 1: and then Cam Newton will still be on the market
Speaker 1: and then Belichick is gonna whittle him down to like
Speaker 1: play for free, and then that's what's gonna happen. Ricky's
Speaker 1: got a figure on the pulse of the Patriots. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's got it. Speaking of Cam Newton, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Cam uh next week's show and what's going on
Speaker 1: with the former m v P. Also, I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna begin our new series, and I think people are
Speaker 1: gonna like this. We're gonna start now with all this
Speaker 1: downtime and and no actual workouts, and the things are
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty slow. So he said, why don't we
Speaker 1: uh take a closer look at different teams across the
Speaker 1: league and kind of dedicate part or most of a
Speaker 1: show to one team and we'll I know what everyone thinks, Oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna talk about the Jets and the
Speaker 1: Browns and the Patriots and West's Broncos. But that is
Speaker 1: not how this is gonna go. This is going to
Speaker 1: be completely done at random. I Ricky, Ricky jump in
Speaker 1: a second. Are one of our favorite Shadowy League figures,
Speaker 1: Mark Brady. He's got to have a budget, money spilling
Speaker 1: out of his ears right now, right, I imagine during
Speaker 1: these times. But connect with him and if you could
Speaker 1: find out. I wanted to actually get a physical wheel
Speaker 1: that we could spin with all thirty two teams on
Speaker 1: it and then wherever that whatever it lands, So we'll
Speaker 1: spin it every Monday at the end of the show.
Speaker 1: This is what I was thinking. Spin it every Monday
Speaker 1: at the end of the show, and then wherever it lands.
Speaker 1: We then have two days to plan for a show
Speaker 1: involved that team. On Wednesday, we reach out to beat
Speaker 1: guys we like. We do our own internal research for
Speaker 1: each team, and then we hit it hard. But it
Speaker 1: would be good to have a physical prop to be
Speaker 1: able to do the selection process. Yeah, Dan, I think
Speaker 1: you should put on a mask and go to Staples
Speaker 1: and get some No, you're the producer. Listen, I'm talent, Ricky,
Speaker 1: I'm talent. You need to go. You gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: hit the pavement and you gotta you gotta thumb it
Speaker 1: over to the home depot or wherever you gotta go,
Speaker 1: and uh, get us set up with a wheel. Aria
Speaker 1: Manson's twenty eight year old female and coronavirus pandemic. To
Speaker 1: get cardboard at Staples feels like an hr matter to me,
Speaker 1: you could order h Oddly enough, not the first time
Speaker 1: we've needed a wheel for an episode, so this is
Speaker 1: justified spending. Oh that's right. The Wheel of Destiny will
Speaker 1: return at some point, but this is very different. This
Speaker 1: so Erica, I'm very serious about this though, Like sometimes
Speaker 1: we're dismissive when I bring you in on these things,
Speaker 1: when I'm asking you to do some production work behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, because I know it does impact your day
Speaker 1: of petting your dog and sitting on the couch. But
Speaker 1: I do I need your help here. But yeah, is
Speaker 1: that what you think my day entails? Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: totally off, am I I mean, yeah, I really do
Speaker 1: have I do And West isn't a great person to
Speaker 1: ask because he has a very pregnant woman with him.
Speaker 1: I really do have I'm curious about people going through
Speaker 1: this pandemic that don't have children. Is it really quiet?
Speaker 1: Is it is? It is? It is boredom the biggest
Speaker 1: issue you have, because I can't even imagine a world
Speaker 1: where it's quiet in this house ever. Yeah, no, do it.
Speaker 1: A lot of reading, doing a lot of cocktail, big books, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: big books. Been reading big books. Um, I sit by
Speaker 1: my pool while I edit. You know, things are things
Speaker 1: are tough. You have a pool. Yeah, it's like if
Speaker 1: the entire apartment complex has it and or what No,
Speaker 1: just my apartment has a pool. Well there aren't. I mean,
Speaker 1: so I'm saying, are other people like in the pool? No,
Speaker 1: you don't really have a pool. No, I have a pool. Um,
Speaker 1: it's like a Melrose place. That's what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: you're not a reference that you don't understand. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you're hanging So are other people like hanging by the pool? No,
Speaker 1: no one ever is by that. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: we just people are scared. But well, because you're there
Speaker 1: and so they don't want it. You can't have anyone
Speaker 1: too close to you if you're there. Plus you have
Speaker 1: all this apparently of all this equipment all around you,
Speaker 1: and they fear to be electrocuted. Right, Yeah, I'm editing
Speaker 1: on a floaty like bikini on Like, come on in, boys,
Speaker 1: the water is great. I mean, the cast system is alive.
Speaker 1: When it comes to coronavirus, I mean I there is
Speaker 1: so much toxic noise in my house, um that I'm
Speaker 1: ready just to like get into a some sort of
Speaker 1: self started accident, just to ride in a quiet ambulance
Speaker 1: somewhere for like an hour. Take me to a hospital,
Speaker 1: like you know, three hours away. You don't want to
Speaker 1: go to a hospital though, well, but then ambulance me
Speaker 1: to a field. My home has been all right, that's
Speaker 1: problematic too, but okay, just like an open fields by yourself. Yes,
