Speaker 2: Welcome into part two of the podcast with Nick Right.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: I do think one more injury and the Bengals have

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: to draft another quarterback near the top, first, second, third round.

34
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: I think that's becoming a reality. This is why I

35
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: defended I said this today about Michael Pennix. Last year,

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: the Falcons had no good quarterbacks and couldn't win a

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: bad division. This year they'll have the two best quarterbacks,

38
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: and you're complaining about it, like sixty six quarters played.

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: We're getting to it.

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: We're getting to a point with Burrow that it's a

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: real discussion you've got to have at least a b backup. Now,

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: Brady didn't like it because he never got hurt with

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: Garoppolo and big Ben. Similarly, Hey, I'm still I can

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: still chug along. My injuries are fine. But I think

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Burrow is going to have to own this team needs

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: a backup and not a sixth rounder, maybe a third

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: rounder when we have other needs. So I think that's

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: a real discussion that Joe and the Bengals have to have.

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: For sure, you mentioned Pinnix, so I'm glad you mentioned

50
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: that because I want to talk about both those quarterbacks

51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: for a moment. I have not understood the tiny violins

52
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: for Kirk Cousins that have been out. Yeah you know,

53
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: do I here's the deal man, and this is gonna

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: sound shitty and I don't mean it too, but it's honest.

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is not good enough to get everything he wants.

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: That's the thing. If Kirk Cousins is good, he is

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: not good enough to get so do I. I want

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: to play in the worst division in football, no problem.

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: I want to play in a dome. We can do that.

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: I want to have another massive payday with one hundred

61
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: million guaranteed. Okay, we can do that too. I want

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: to have a lot of weapons. You know what we've

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: got that. I don't want to have any competition whatsoever. Sorry,

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Kurk can't give you that one, Like you don't like

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: the He is good enough to get a lot, but

66
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: not everything. And when you are something of of football mercenary,

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: if you will, you have taken the money and moved whatever.

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: And to his credit, there's a trade off and everything

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: in life. One of those things is you haven't built

70
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: up the equity within the organization for them to be like,

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: oh man, he's gonna hate this. They just met you,

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: like sorry, Like the there is and the person I

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: feel for in this is Pinnix that like the if

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: if if sports broadcasting worked the way the NFL does,

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: And I'm coming out of Syracuse and I'm considered one

76
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: of the three or four best in the world, and

77
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh man, there's this spot in this radio

78
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: station in Las Vegas that might pick me that has

79
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: openings all over the place. There's a radio station in

80
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: Denver that might pick me that is openings all over

81
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: the place. And then all of a sudden, I get

82
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: picked by a radio station in Atlanta, and they're like, buddy,

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: all our shows are filled up, but we think in

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: two years maybe you'll have one. Be like, you gotta

85
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: be kidding me. All these other places wanted me to

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: play like I'm by the way, I went to grad school,

87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: I'm old, Like you're talking about me, like I'm not

88
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: gonna get on the air till I'm twenty six. Like

89
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: this sucks, and so I everyone was like, oh man,

90
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: Kirk so disappointed. And I was sitting there thinking, like

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: I get that he gets the money or whatever, but

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: pinnis that differences me to being the eighth pick. The

93
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: thirteenth pick is not a ton of money. He was

94
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna be get first round guaranteed money no matter what,

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: and now he's got to sit so and again, maybe

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: it ends up being good for him, and he's in

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: a dome and he has the weapons. But if we're

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: gonna feel badly for either of these two quarterbacks, it's

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: not the guy who just left his team got one

100
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: hundred million bucks coming off in Achilles. It's not him

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: that I feel badly for it. Yeah, I mean, I

102
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: would say Kirk cousins. And there's people like this in

103
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: every industry has monetized his position to the highest possible levels.

104
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: Brady took pay cut, Tim Duncan took pay cuts in

105
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: the history of football. Kirk Cousins has monetized his talent

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: to the greatest level and deserves great respect for that.

107
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: But to your point, Kirk Brady, yeah, Tom Brady can

108
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: say Bruce Arians go upstairs. Yeah, Kirk Cousins isn't gonna

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: say that to a right. That's the thing is, you

110
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: don't if you the only people who get everything they

111
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: want in their work life are the absolute apex best

112
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: and if you are the if you are the very

113
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: best in your field, you can kind of write the contract.

114
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: If you are that still super valuable. But there's seven

115
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: or eight people better than you, then you're gonna get

116
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: most of what you want, but not all of it.

117
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: And I just think that's normal. Like I it doesn't.

118
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: I didn't, And I'm an empathetic person. I can. I

119
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: can cry at the good enough tweet, you know, I

120
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Somebody put out a tweet the other day.

121
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: It was like my dad wrote me these letters every

122
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: morning before school growing up. I read it. I teared up.

123
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, like, I really think I'm

124
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: an empathetic person, but I didn't feel a moment where

125
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, poor Kirk Cousins. It's like, what because

126
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to because you deserve to not have

127
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: to compete, and you're not even really competing, Like it's

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: your job. You're really gonna have to screw up to

129
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: not have it be your job. I don't get it.

130
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: I just don't get it.

131
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: I have an interesting topic I'm gonna throw at you.

132
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: So I'm divorced and my ex wife and I have

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: a fine relationship. We don't talk much anymore, but it

134
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: was always very.

135
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: Cordial, respectful. Sure, so.

136
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: I totally get that it's a roast. I totally get it.

137
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: But I do hear the Giselle jokes and I think,

138
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: to myself, that's a little rough for me. Like I

139
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: thought about this.

140
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he signed up for it.

141
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought if somebody wanted to roast me, the

142
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: first thing I would think about is I got to

143
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 2: protect my kids, Right, That's the first thing I would say.

144
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: That's almost the first thing I think about always is

145
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: how is this going to land for my kids? And

146
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: when I listened to the jokes. I thought a lot

147
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: of it was hilarious, but I think I would have said, hey, don't.

148
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't want you going after.

149
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: My kids then, right, But that's but that's so here's

150
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: the thing that but it's a roast. So I don't

151
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: watch this is a I'm sure there's a word for it.

152
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: I I don't watch roasts because there's a level of

153
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: like that secondhand embarrassment thing is like something I really

154
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: don't deal with. Well, Like there are certain times like

155
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: that we were talking about Curb earlier. There would be

156
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: certain moments in Curb where like I literally like I

157
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: turn away, like I'm like, oh, I feel so even

158
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: though it's make believe and it's someone else, something internally

159
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: I feel uncomfortable with. So a roast where And it's

160
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: not that I don't watch roast because I'm offended by

161
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: the jokes. It's because there are certain things where I

162
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: feel so badly for the person involved that it makes

163
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: me feel uncomfortable. It's why I was shocked it existed.

164
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: It's I just was shot. Like I get why comedians

165
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: do it to comedians, and I get why fringe. I

166
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: don't want to be rude. I get why Pete Rose

167
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: would sign up for one, like yeah, you know what

168
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the spotlight it's a check, you

169
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I get those things. I

170
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: don't under like. I was shocked that Tom signed up

171
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: for it because it just feels like there's so many

172
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: landmines and so much like you were saying, I didn't,

173
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, there there are a lot of people

174
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: that seems like and I'm not really an expert to

175
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: talk about this because again, like I didn't. I've seen

176
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: some clips, so I didn't watch it because I just

177
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: don't enjoy that. But it seems like there were a

178
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: lot of people that were not there that feel like

179
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: that was not fun for me or my family, you

180
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: know what I mean, all of it, and so I don't.

181
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: I also was kind of shocks. I was like, did

182
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: Tom admit to the flightgate in this thing? Was that? Like,

183
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: like what, I didn't understand a lot of it? But

184
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: he listen, he I mean he the What didn't surprise

185
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: me from the coverage of it was that Belichick came

186
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: off great. What didn't surprise me is that people said,

187
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that he came off great

188
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: and did a great job. That that sound that checks

189
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: out to me.

190
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm not I'm not blaming anybody for the

191
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: Gazelle jokes. I just thought, ooh, that I would say

192
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 2: I would.

193
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

194
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: That was the one where I was like, eh, God,

195
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't.

196
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: And I'm like you.

197
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 2: I think Jeffrey Ross and Nicki Glazer are great at

198
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 2: what they do. I I can't believe you have secondhand embarrassment.

199
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: I suffer from the same thing. Like I don't like

200
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: to see people bullied or hugely embarrassed.

201
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: I would rather I know this sounds absurd. I so

202
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: I take the subway every day, and you from when

203
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: I pick up my daughter from school, I take subway

204
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: home and the subway platform you go downstairs, busy platform.

205
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: As insane as this sounds, I would rather slip and

206
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: fall on the subway stairs then have the person in

207
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: front of me slip and fall on the subway stairs,

208
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: because like when I like, I don't really care, like

209
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't like I'm I'm not embarrassed easily for myself,

210
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: like that's okay, like people saw me fall, I don't care.

211
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: But for some reason the thing of like, oh, that

212
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: person now thinks I was looking at him, they are embarrassed.

213
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: I really really it makes me feel super uncomfortable, the

214
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: second hand embarrassment thing, and so it's just yeah, so

215
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: I just don't enjoy I appreciate that.

216
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 3: Now.

217
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, this is an unbelievable anecdote

218
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: that I'm about to give you. So Jamal Charles, who's

219
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: gonna end up being one of the greatest running backs

220
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: ever to not make the Hall of Fame. So you

221
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: got totally screwed by the Chiefs while he was there.

222
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: It's just an all time player. He's from Port Arthur,

223
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: Texas and was my favorite player when I was covering

224
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the early twenty tens, and I was

225
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: really associated with him because basically every time the Chiefs lost,

226
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't know about you guys. I

227
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: would have given the ball to Jamal Drells. More Brody

228
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Froyle is the quarterback handed off to the guy who's

229
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: getting seven yards of carry, you idiots. So when I

230
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: was in Houston and after Kansas City, Jamal was being

231
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: inducted to the Port Arthur Sports Hall of Fame, and

232
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: they said, hey, Nick, will you host it? Will you

233
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: be the host of the event, like, yeah, of course,

234
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: and be honest, this is great. And the guy put

235
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: it on He's like, it's a roast. I'm like, it's

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: a roast. They're like, yes, it's a roast. But again,

237
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm even though I said I don't watch them, this

238
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: is I'm like, okay, there's no comedians here, but Andy

239
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: Reid is there. Earl Thomas from Texas is there, so

240
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: his teammates are there whatever it is, and they're like, yes,

241
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: it's a roast. Like okay, so I'll you know, right,

242
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: eight minutes of jokes is unbelievable. I don't think I've

243
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: ever told the story publicly. There's a video somewhere. So

244
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: I get up there and I am I think telling

245
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: great jokes, Like one of them was God damn man,

246
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: don't you I'm telling you this. Do not isolate this

247
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: and put this on social media, I said. I turned

248
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid and I said something about how I'm

249
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: not going to tell the exact joke, but how his

250
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: clock management style reminded me of my sex life in college.

251
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: There was something. There was a joke there. You people

252
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: can figure it out. It was a good joke. He

253
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't like it. I said, something about Earl Thomas and

254
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: the Legion of Boom whatever it is, and nobody's really

255
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: laughing that much, but these are good jokes. And then

256
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: every other person that came up there did not get

257
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: the memo this was a roast. They got the memo

258
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: that this was a toast, and no one told me

259
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: jokes and everyone just talked about it, right Jamal Carls.

260
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: So I just looked like the biggest asshole in the world.

261
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: I started the thing. I'm just I'm just killing everybody.

262
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Then everyone's like, here's how Jamal's changed my life. No jokes.

263
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, you've gotta be kidding me. You have gotta

264
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: be kidding me. And the guy who did it, the

265
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: guy who set it up, I'm like, I didn't get

266
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: like misread the email. I was like, no, man, He's like,

267
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like I told everyone it was a roast,

268
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: but whatever, they didn't go with it. So I just

269
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: looked like the worst guy ever. Like Andy I think

270
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: was legitimately Matt because Andy's and Andy and I are

271
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: really cool now. But Andy, when I then introduced him

272
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: after the joke, he came over and maybe it's just

273
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: how he shakes hands, and he is a big guy,

274
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: but it was not like a firm handshake. It was like,

275
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hurt your hand with this handshake, you smart

276
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: ass kid making fun of my clock management. So maybe

277
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: that's why I don't like roasts, because one of the

278
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: most embarrassing nights of my life was me thinking I

279
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: was at a roast and it was actually a toast

280
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: and I just looked like a bad guy.

281
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: That is an all time story.

282
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: You can include that, I know. I said, don't put

283
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: it on social media. You can do whatever you want.

284
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Just maybe try to about the sex life in college thing.

285
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: I have an image to uphold, but go ahead. But yeah,

286
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: that is a real story. That's a true story.

287
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: So we'll end on this. So Austin Rivers came out

288
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: and said I could pick thirty NBA players and play

289
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: in the NFL. JJ Watt fired back, and I said,

290
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: today there are sports, and the NBA is included in this. Tennis, golf, baseball, basketball.

291
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: There is a skill level that erodes very quickly if

292
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: you don't stay on it. If you don't hit a

293
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: baseball for two months, you're cooked. You're cooked. Basketball. When

294
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: I was playing high school basketball into college every day.

295
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: If I took a week off, my ball handling wasn't

296
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: quite as good. And NFL is the one sport where

297
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: you don't have to play college and you can be

298
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame Antonio Gates. It's not a repetitive sport.

299
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: Is in some instances mechanics for quarterback, yes, you're kicking, yes,

300
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: But a lot of it is strength, brutality, physicality and

301
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 2: raw at more than, yes, more than any other sport football,

302
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: which is why so many of us play high school

303
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: football and so many people participate. You can be big,

304
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: you don't have to be fast. You can be a guard.

305
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: You can only be able to kick, you can be

306
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 2: a punter. Right Like, there's a bunch of different stuff

307
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: that said, I don't think basketball players have any idea

308
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: how much getting tackled hurts. So if you ever go

309
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: to the sideline of an NFL game and watch Christian

310
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: McCaffrey get hit, you cannot believe he can get up.

311
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: You cannot believe he's not severely injured. It is a

312
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 2: car wreck on every tackle, So you should watch. I mean, well,

313
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 2: you obviously know these guys. How Elong's can kids you

314
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: know Chris and Jake long. You know, so they have

315
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: a podcast green Light and by the way, you own

316
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: a podcast business or an audio business, you like.

317
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think they are great. I think Chris

318
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: is Chris did. He tweeted, he said, emergency rant coming

319
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: on Austin Rivers and Colin. When I tell you this

320
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: is some of my favorite ten minutes of media in

321
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: the last month. You have to listen to it because

322
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: his entire take is that not that guys couldn't do it,

323
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: but like because they're not good enough at football, but

324
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm gonna not do it justice. He's like, Okay,

325
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: Austin Rivers, you think you guys can come play football. Well,

326
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: here's the deal. You got fifty three guys on the team.

327
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: There's three massage therapists. Oh your body hurts, well, the

328
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: massuse available at four o'clock. Why don't you get a

329
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: lift in and shut up? Like you're used to that

330
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: in the NBA. He's like, Oh, in the NBA, your coaches,

331
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: how do they talk to you? My coaches mf me

332
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: and then tell me to go lay in a queen

333
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: size Bettt training camp with another guy in my room.

334
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: He's like, he does a whole thing. He's like, what's

335
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: your flight's like? Because for forty of us, we're in

336
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: the coach seats on a plane. When's the last time

337
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: you His whole take was not you wouldn't be good enough,

338
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: but that our lives are just different. Our coaches coach us,

339
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Our practices are hard. He was like, what happens in

340
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: the NBA when somebody gets hurt? Do they cancel shoot around?

341
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: Because in the NFL they move the drill, they just move.

342
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: They're like guys getting carted off. It is a great rant.

343
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: With that said, I came up with eight guys. I

344
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: want to know. I didn't know you're going to talk

345
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: about this. I came up with eight guys and their position.

346
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: I guess it's seven guys, all right. So Anthony Edwards

347
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: could play running backer safety, I am certain of it.

348
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: I am certain Anthony Edwards could do it. Young Lebron

349
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: would be the greatest tight end in NFL history. I know,

350
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: I know it's true. Westbrook could play in the NFL.

351
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the position. Maybe ad drusher, maybe safety.

352
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 1: Josh Hart I think can be a wide receiver just

353
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: based on his rebounding this playoffs, Chris Long said, he

354
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna trust him on this because I never

355
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: would have thought of it, but he played the position.

356
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: He was like, I've been watching the playoffs. I could

357
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: make Jalen Brown a pass rusher. I'm like, okay, I

358
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: believe you. He was like, he was like, he has

359
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: great bend. He seems a little mean. He's like, I

360
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: could do it. And then and this is gonna sound mean,

361
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: and I am not being mean. I am simply saying

362
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: he would have to put on weight, which I think

363
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: he can, and then all of a sudden it would

364
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: be a benefit. He has great feet, great athleticism. I

365
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: think Zion could potentially be an an awesome lineman. He's

366
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: six ' six, he obviously, you know what I mean,

367
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: can carry it big, like Jason Peters was a tight

368
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: end that went to it. So I do think where

369
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: I think Austin Rivers had a current of accuracy is

370
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: there are certainly more NBA guys that the There are

371
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: probably five NBA guys that could be good NFL players,

372
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: like good, like, hey, give me a year to train

373
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: be a good NFL player. And I don't know that

374
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: there's any NFL guys that could be really good NBA

375
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: players because, like you said, your skill has atrophied. And

376
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: if you're not over six ' six, it's all about skill,

377
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: it's you know what I mean like And there's nobody

378
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: that's six ten in the NFL to begin with.

379
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: So I think the list you made would be shorter.

380
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: But to give you an example, I think because football

381
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: players are so thick, we forget how big they are.

382
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: Go look at the video of Micah Parsons without his

383
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: shirt on this week. He makes Aunt Edwards look like me.

384
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: He is so big. I'll give you an example. There's

385
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: an old photo of Michael Jordan standing next to Barry Bonds.

386
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: He looks like a straw. Is that remember Michael playing baseball?

387
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: He looked like he was effaciated.

388
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Now that's that. That part's fair, That part's fair work.

389
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, these NFL guys they regularly leg press five hundred

390
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: and fifty pounds. That is when you watch Micah Parsons

391
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: without a shirt on. My take is and there are

392
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: times he is in engulfed by Trent Williams, just engulfed.

393
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: So that parts So people do we all have a

394
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,479
Speaker 1: like our brain doesn't process how big NFL guys are

395
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: and how tall NBA guys are. Our brain doesn't accept it, like, yeah,

396
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean you see around the office occasionally, I assume

397
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: my son because he works the lot. You've seen him there.

398
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: He is almost always the biggest guy in the room.

399
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's six three and a half, you know,

400
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: probably two hundred pounds, maybe one ninety and in a

401
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: room of regular people, he's an imposing cuts, an imposing figure.

402
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: He is the exact same height and about ten pounds

403
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: lighter than Steph Curry. And Steph Curry in the NBA

404
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: looks like a little guy, and it's like, no, actually,

405
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: Steph Curry's the size of a bouncer at a decent nightclub.

406
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what I mean, like the and

407
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: so we everybody forgets how tall NBA guys actually are.

408
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: That the guys in the when you're watching the basketball

409
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: game and a guy looks like he's average height, he's

410
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: six seven, and if you worked with someone who was

411
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: six seven, you would gawk at them. And you're right

412
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: about how just the raw strength of the average NFL player,

413
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: that part is unco questioned, unquiet, which.

414
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: And just the end of the long Brothers pointed out

415
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: the physical and mental toughness to just get tackled by

416
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: the strongest people in the country over and over and.

417
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Over, he said. He said he was just talking about

418
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: guys who because who would just get folded He said

419
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: he was naming NBA guys. He's like, you get folded

420
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: up by like one of those camping tables, like, oh

421
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: you're seven feet tall, well to your four feet tall

422
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: now because you just got told in half. It's a

423
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: great rant. It is shout out to him. Man. I

424
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: know you and I are two people, two of the

425
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: ten people in the world who appreciate a great rant

426
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: as much as anybody. And this was a great rant

427
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: by Chris Long. I highly enjoyed it. I do think

428
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: there are a few though. I think there are a

429
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: few guys who could do it. I think I do

430
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: think Anthony Amberts could play safety, because I don't think

431
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: safeties are the size of Micah Parsons just flying around

432
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: like a missile. I think you could do He's twenty

433
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: two years old. I think you can play safety. The

434
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs just drafted to get in the first round. It's

435
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty pounds that guy do won't see

436
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards coming over the middle just doesn't.

437
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: I'll give you Lebron, We'll stop right, okay, Nick Wright,

438
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,800
