Speaker 2: You're listening to the Best of the Odd Couple.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson has ended his holdout. He will be back

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati with the Bengals this upcoming season, so that's

10
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: the big headline. But now, in the wake of his reporting,

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: he's met with the media couple of times, and his

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: comments about his decision to come back really raise some

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 3: eyebrows around here.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 4: Take it.

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: Listen to what he said.

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 5: What I'm not gonna do is as best as I can,

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 5: like avoid being a distraction. You know, I want to

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 5: help the guys, you know, the guys that have helped

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 5: me along the way Tomorrow, Davis, Cam Jordan, even Sam

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 5: Hubbard helped me a lot when I was here, So

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 5: to be that right now, I think is that's what's

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 5: most important. And this narrative will kind of iron itself

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 5: out as we continue to progress towards the season, and.

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Rob g he wandup called himself, which I didn't hear

25
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 1: in that sound bite.

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: He said later that the idea of holding out and

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: preventing younger players from learning from him is selfish.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Okay, And can I say this to Trey Hendrickson, You're crazy,

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: your ma sugar naw. All you football players is this on?

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Have been brain washed to think that you're doing something wrong.

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: Your CBA and your players union Kelvin has put them

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: in a spot. The only way that they can get

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: their fair value is to do what Hendrickson did, which

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: is to hold out. There is no other option. What

35
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: do you mean selfish? Selfish is teams that you play

36
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: well for them and they tell you, you know what, No,

37
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: you can come back, but you gotta take a cut

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: otherwise we're gonna release you. That's selfish because when you

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: played well, they didn't give you any more money or

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: do anything or let you out of your deal or

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: bump it up. No, come on, man, football players, I'll

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: never get it. How are you selfish? The system doesn't

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: work for you to be for it to be fair

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: to you. You have no recourse. You have nothing else

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: you can do other than sitting it out until they

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: come to their senses and take care of you. I

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: still don't understand this. They got terrible healthcare, terrible pension,

48
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: just terrible everything. The NFL is making money hand over fish.

49
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: You got a commission who makes fifty million dollars and

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: you think you're selfish, that's bread, being brainwashed to think

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: that you did something wrong. No, you're admirable. You're a

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: stand up guy to stand up and say I'm not

53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna just fall in line and take whatever you give me.

54
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: And I'm just happy to be here and humbled and

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: yeah whatever, let me let you throw some peanuts at

56
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: my feet and I'm good with it. Are you kidding me?

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I respect people who are willing to stand up and

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: do something and say I matter, my value matters. The

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: reason that the NFL has been able to get away

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: with what they've done to these players is because most

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: of them are cowards and aren't willing to stand up

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: to ownership, aren't willing to stand up to the union,

63
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: aren't willing to stand up to the people that are

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: the powers that be. That's why they're in such a

65
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: bad spot. Because most NFL players are a brainwashed and

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: be cowards with a capital C. And it's my boggling

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: when you think about how big and strong and feel

68
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: ass these guys are, but when it comes time to

69
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: making sure that they have the best contracting deal, they

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: bow out. I salute you, Trey Hendrickson, you are not

71
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: n ot selfish.

72
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 4: Well, I I was saluting him. The problem why I

73
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 4: got a chill on my salute is because he cowered

74
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: down and called himself being a bad guy and I'm

75
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 4: being a bad teammate.

76
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: No, you're not.

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: He talked about I want to get back. You know

78
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: why I want to get back, and went on show

79
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: leadership to the young guys. This is showing leadership to

80
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 4: the young guys. Standing up for yourself is absolutely a

81
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 4: way to do that. You can't be the NFL sack leader.

82
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 4: You can't be one of the best defensive players since

83
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: you got there. You're having thirteen plus sacks except once.

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 4: You can't be the guy that's sitting around here doing

85
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: all this. When you look at the defensive metrics with

86
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: him on the field, it's absolutely astronomical difference than when

87
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: he's off. So he knows his worth, he know what

88
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: he brings to the Bengals organization. Now, this is an

89
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: organization that we know has been historically cheap. This has

90
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: been an organization that doesn't pay anybody guarantee contracts outside

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: of a year for the most part, except quarterbacks.

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 6: So this is to me.

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: I don't understand why people don't understand this. And this

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 4: goes for you listening. This goes for Trey Henderson, this

95
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: goes for Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington. You have to be

96
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: in the business of you. I am in the business

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: of Kelvin. I'm going to work hard, I'm going to

98
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: play it, be a teammate. I'm gonna do absolutely what

99
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: I believe it's gonna be best for us, for you,

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: for me, the odd couple, but iHeart Media is in

101
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 4: business for iHeart and they're gonna do what's best for them.

102
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 6: Kelvin has to do it's best for me.

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 4: Trey Henderson has to do its best for him in

104
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: the league, especially where you can do all that you can,

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: like he has, but be making fifteen million dollars. But

106
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: all the comparable guys who are doing exactly what you're doing, TJ. Watt,

107
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: Miles Miles Garrett are making three times what you're making

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: just about so advocating for yourself is admirable. Advocating for

109
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: yourself is good business. Advocating for yourself is exactly what

110
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: you're supposed to be doing. But somehow, powerful people rob

111
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: have always tricked the younger, the little man, and they're

112
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 4: thinking it's everybody's fault but us.

113
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: So you get players who feel bad, Oh, I don't

114
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 6: want to.

115
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: I don't want to me take a haircut, Let me

116
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 4: do it for the team. And I don't want to.

117
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to be the guy that takes all

118
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: the money. Ownership takes all the money. They charge people

119
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: twenty five dollars for a beer, thank you, They charge

120
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 4: you one hundred dollars apart in a place where there's

121
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: no other wor place to park, but at your ballpark

122
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: or your stadium or your arena. And then you even

123
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 4: look at powerful politicians, they trick you, pay your taxes,

124
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 4: do all this. Meanwhile, they've paid seven hundred and fifty dollars,

125
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: but they're billionaires and millionaires and I mean literally seven

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars in taxes. So somewhere along the line,

127
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: ownership always tricks the little man. You give your blood,

128
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: sweat and tears for seven years to a team. Six

129
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: years to a team you say, hey, I want to

130
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: go somewhere else just wasn't working out. They didn't treat

131
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 4: me right, they didn't do all they could. You're the

132
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 4: bad guy. So I don't know how people fall for

133
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 4: the okie dokee every time. Trey Henderson absolutely deserves to

134
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: get this money. He absolutely deserves to hold out if

135
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: that's what he chooses to do, and he should not

136
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: feel bad about it. In fact, he should be. This

137
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 4: is how we do it. This is how we build

138
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: unity as a league and as a players association by

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 4: doing what's best for us. And I don't get why

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 4: he now it's bad leadership. No, bad leadership is how

141
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: the Bengals have run their business.

142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Or bad leadership is what Tom Brady did taking a

143
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: hometown discount and then making all the owners go, well,

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: you see what tom Brady did. He took less. Patrick

145
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: mahomes woind up taking less too. No, tom Brady did

146
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: an injustice to the rest of the membership. You don't

147
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: take less that creates other people having to do that

148
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: because he's one of the people that people look up to.

149
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, at his point of doing it justifiable. I

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 6: get it.

151
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: He wants to keep winning. The problem is to what

152
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: you said, They're gonna use that against him. They're gonna

153
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: say that against a big body, Right, That's what I'm

154
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: saying them, is what I say against them. They're gonna

155
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 4: say the best in the business is doing this. Surely

156
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,880

00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: you can. Yeah, Trey Anderson, I love that he was

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,000

Speaker 8: or wherever you get your podcasts.

191
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Rob g, this game is so meaningless that Trey Lance

192
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: is playing. I'm just saying, wow, I mean, let's just

193
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: call it what we want.

194
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 6: Do You ain't like black quarterbacks, but dang.

195
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: I'm just saying what.

196
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 6: That's right?

197
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: Trey Lance, the former top three overall pick in the

198
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: NFL Draft twenty twenty one. We'll be getting the start

199
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 3: tonight in the Hall of Fame game because just.

200
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: Not a brain trust should have been fired years ago,

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: but they got lucky with the mister irrelevant. That's what

202
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: it's still.

203
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 3: Around because Chargers QB one Justin Herbert will not dress.

204
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: Chargers QB two. Tyler Heineke is being held out as

205
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: just an emergency quarterback, so that means Trey Lance will

206
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: be getting the bulk of the snaps tonight. And guys,

207
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: a couple hours ago, I put this tweet out, not

208
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: thinking much of it until Martin Weiss retweets it and

209
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: friend of the show Daniel Kelly retweets it. Apparently I

210
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: was onto something. I put out this tweet and let

211
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: you let me know what you guys think. I say,

212
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: nobody brings it up because he went number three is

213
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 3: a number one, but Trey Lance has to be the

214
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: front runner for the biggest bust in NFL history. Two

215
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: teams didn't even need to really see him play to

216
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: decide he couldn't play. That's unheard of for a first

217
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 3: round pick. And here's what I mean, guys, Trey Lance

218
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 3: will be entering his fifth NFL season. He's only started

219
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: five games in his NFL career, this despite being taken

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: third overall by the forty nine ers, and famously, as

221
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: you guys mentioned, got unsurped my mister irrelevant himself brock

222
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,359
Speaker 3: Party in San Francisco got traded to the Dallas Cowboys

223
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 3: for a fourth round pick and a bag of peanuts.

224
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: And you would think, hey, Dak Prescott got hurt last year.

225
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm sure we saw plenty of Trey Lance in Dallas. No,

226
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 3: they said, hey, Cooper Rush is the guy we want

227
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: to see, not the guy we paid a fourth round

228
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: pick to get. So I don't think that it's even

229
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: a question. I believe Trey Lance is easily the biggest

230
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: bus in NFL history.

231
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Calvin he is, So, I don't think he's

232
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: the biggest buss.

233
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you why. And I thought long and

234
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 4: hard about this. I looked at off scenarios. Here's why

235
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: he's the biggest bust. Now he's the quietest bust, and

236
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: that is the biggest one. But the reason why he's

237
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: so bad that nobody even gives him a chance to play,

238
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: and you start digging at some of the other guys,

239
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: rob they at least got seasons or another season, two,

240
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: three seasons or sixteen eighteen twenty five starts. He don't

241
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 4: even get to start. And he was a third pick

242
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: and they moved all the way up to get him.

243
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: And part of the Bus part of it is mister

244
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: irrelevant took your spot. That's that's you, the guy on

245
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: the block. And a nerdy little dude comes and takes

246
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: your girl. That can't happen, right, the little lame, nerdy

247
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 4: dude in some nineteen eighties rom com stole your girl,

248
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 4: duck ducky from what is that sweet sixteen or sixteen

249
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: candles steals your girl.

250
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 6: That can't happen. Trey Lancer is so bad.

251
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: He's so bad we actually forget about him because you

252
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: remember JaMarcus Russell, You remember a Q.

253
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 6: Smith, You for.

254
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: Sure remember Ryan Leaf. We bring these other guys up

255
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: when we talk about bus. Trey Lance is so bad

256
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 4: we actually don't forget about him. He's like the football

257
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 4: version of Anthony Bennett. You don't even remember Anthony Bennett.

258
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 4: You talk about OLAA Candy or maybe Ben Simmons when

259
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 4: you talk about bus Mark Hall faults, Anthony Bennet was

260
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: so bad you forgot him. And that's what Trey Lance is.

261
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: We don't even remember him. So I disappointing how he

262
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: doesn't even get a chance to play.

263
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 6: Teams don't even want him.

264
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: And I think that's why for me, because when I

265
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: really look at it, other guys at least got fifteen

266
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: twenty five starts a few seasons. Usually you get your chances.

267
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: You might just suck, but you get your chances. He's

268
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: walking up with the clipboard and they saying, nah, bro

269
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: we good. And that's to me why he is he

270
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 4: has to be. He doesn't even get a shot. Rob

271
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: everybody else got a shot.

272
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. Here's my problem. Trey Lance to

273
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: me was a was questionable at best. Okay, he played

274
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: one college season only through the ball. What he had

275
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty seven attempts, so he wasn't even

276
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: really you know what I mean, Like they thought they

277
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: were geniuses and they saw something because you remember, the

278
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: talk was he hadn't played enough. There wasn't enough tape

279
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: on him right, so for him to be drafted for

280
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: them to move up and draft him third that's on them.

281
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: I don't what's his body of work that you thought, seriously, Kelvin,

282
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: he was gonna be something special. He didn't do anything

283
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: in college. There was a this was a question mark

284
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: from Jump Street. That's why he can't be the biggest bust.

285
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: And then you have JaMarcus Russell, of course, who was

286
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: the overall number one pick, and that was just a

287
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: disaster you from day one. But I still think that

288
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: it's this guy who is the biggest bust in NFL history.

289
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: Don't talk to me, all right, knock it.

290
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: Up, Ryan Leave, Don't talk to me like that. Dude

291
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: was like was bonkers. He was terrible and he acted

292
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: like a baby, you know. He was like he was

293
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: unhinged because he was terrible and people were asking questions.

294
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: He was a guy right second overall pick, and he

295
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: was like this guy where people thought, but you had

296
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback of the future, like this is the thing

297
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: that's different is that people were like, oh my god,

298
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: Ryan Leif started only eighteen games four and fourteen. He

299
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the new hotness. He was supposed

300
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: to be something special. That's not what Trey Lance was

301
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Nobody that's why. That's why the forty

302
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: nine ers people get off Scott free. It is because

303
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: he really, if you're honest about it, and I get it,

304
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: to be drafted as third and they moved up. And

305
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: here's the other part. He didn't play enough for us

306
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: to say that he can't play. He got hurt in

307
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: his first year. What did he play, rob g Three games?

308
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: Remember he played like three games. One was in the rain,

309
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: he got hurt and then that was it. They really

310
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: didn't give him a chance. Like that's why I can't

311
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: believe that he could be considered the greatest bust of

312
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: all time. He just did not get a chance to

313
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: play enough. Whereas I look at Ryan Leaf, the Ryan.

314
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: Leaf has clearly because of all the craziness and the

315
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 4: spiral and the personal life spiral dow. Obviously he's gonna

316
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: seem to be in a better place now. If anybody

317
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: you know you've seen him speaking was onhand, which he yeah,

318
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: and his life went down as well. Some of these guys,

319
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: when you look dive deep into it, JaMarcus Russell being another,

320
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 4: I mean coming in twenty at two ninety, coming in

321
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 4: a camp at two ninety is crazy as a quarterback

322
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: getting a DVD that has nothing on it and then

323
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 4: they ask you, hey, did you watch the tape? Yeah,

324
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: I got I watched the tape. Man, I was you know,

325
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: I I saw all the highlights. Oh that dude, that's embarrassing.

326
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: But so I'm not mad at those. But the one

327
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: thing I'm saying about Trey Lance is usually in NBA

328
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 4: NFL it would be something when you're a third pick,

329
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: we're gonna run, We're gonna exhaust all options with you.

330
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: But playing college, though, can you at least acknowledge that

331
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: he you.

332
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 4: Know, he was it Peyton Manning esque or you know

333
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: some guy coming out Andrew Lock coming out of college.

334
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: But I'm saying to Zach Wilson, wasn't that guy coming

335
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 4: out like that? But Zack Wilson gets, you know, got

336
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 4: a couple of years, he got chances better like he had, No,

337
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: he had a better year. But I'm saying there have

338
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: been other guys who come from smaller schools. You've Ben Roethlisberger,

339
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: Joe Flacko, and we can go down the list of

340
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: guys who come Josh Allen who come from smaller people.

341
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: Was stunned when the forty nine has moved up to

342
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: take him. I mean, I just like what I'm saying

343
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: because they're trying to be geniuses.

344
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 6: If I that's why I'm saying.

345
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: You know, owners love to prove themselves right, and you

346
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 4: had to be so bad that they went all the

347
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 4: way up, gave up a bunch to get you, get you,

348
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 4: and then go, no, we're good and credit them because

349
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 4: you and I have talked about how many times if

350
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 4: you make a mistake, you got to own it.

351
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,719
Speaker 6: You got to move on. Joe, what's the quote from

352
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 6: Joe Dumars.

353
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: That's right. It ain't about being right, it's about getting

354
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: it right.

355
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers, because it now here we are.

356
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 4: We're just a what a month or so ago. Brock

357
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: Perty just got a big check, so they got their guy.

358
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 4: So credit then for that, because a lot of teams

359
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,239
Speaker 4: do what I'm saying. They hold on.

360
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: They hold on, and I'll tell you that.

361
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 6: Just to just to keep just to prove a point. No, no, no, no,

362
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 6: we got it right. Trust me. Give him some time. No no, no,

363
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: we got to right. Let him get healthy. No no, no,

364
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 6: we got to right.

365
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 4: He was so bad they said, we're willing to move

366
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: on and get mister irrelevant here now to the tune

367
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 4: of him getting a big, huge, massive contract. But Ryan Lee,

368
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 4: obviously I'll never be mad at that because the parallels

369
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 4: to him are tied to Peyton Manning too, Like it

370
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 4: wasn't just he was the guy and he failed. The

371
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: guy before you the one and two punch, if you will,

372
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: was Peyton Manning and that and that worked out. A

373
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 4: sneaky name in here is a kill Smith if you

374
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: remember him, Achille Smith with the Bengals.

375
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: Uh.

376
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: He was a third overall pick back in ninety nine

377
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 4: and he ended up being terrible. And the biggest thing

378
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: is the Bengals really were the biggest losers in this

379
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: because Mike Dicka was willing to give them nine picks

380
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: because he wanted to get Ricky will him so bad.

381
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: He was gonna give them nine picks if they if

382
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 4: he would just for that one swat, And they chose

383
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: not to do it because they thought Achille Smith was

384
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: gonna be the guy. So that's a massive one because

385
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: what could have been And had you gotten all those picks,

386
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: you know, and you could have changed the franchise for

387
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: a decade.

388
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: But Didko made a lot of mistakes? Oh, my god,

389
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: but that but he's lucky at the that the Bengals

390
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: didn't take it.

391
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a chilly Smith with the Bengals as a

392
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 4: sleeper one.

393
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: But he got hurt early too, didn't he. I remember

394
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: him getting.

395
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 6: He got her. I believe it was his second year.

396
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: But it was a running back from the Bengals on

397
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: his first snap from was it running back who got hurt?

398
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: Like the first snap from center was almost like the

399
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Johnny Carter? Yeah, right, Like could Johnny Carton?

400
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Like if it was John Carter from Penn State. Yeah,

401
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: he was like to be It was like his first snap.

402
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was supposed to be that. I mean, he

403
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: was that guy in college. But then yeah he Yeah,

404
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: he didn't work out in the league. That's the crass wire.

405
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: Listen that, Troy. That's why Trey Henderson get your money

406
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 4: when you came, man, you never know what's gonna happen

407
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: in this league in his game.

416
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 3: we talk about something happened outside of the world of sports.

417
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 3: This week's topic comes to us from Southern Connecticut State University.

418
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 3: We got a big deal going on. Everybody golf, Clap

419
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: it up. They're gonna name the just Downfield press Box

420
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: after the one the only MLB bro himself, Rob Parker

421
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: Park Saturday, October fourth, two pm. They're gonna rename it

422
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: the Rob Parker press Box. First, Rob, your thoughts on

423
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: this grand honor?

424
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Definitely, Rob g U humble. And when this all came down,

425
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: the first thing I thought about was me and my

426
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: mom because we took the greyhound bus Kelvin up to

427
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: Southern Connecticut for like the journalism orientation and whatnot. And

428
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: you're on that bus and you don't know, you don't

429
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. You know, my mom wanted

430
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: me to take computer science, not because she didn't believe

431
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: in me, because she was doing what most parents. Kelvin right.

432
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: The logical thing back in the eighties early eighties, computers

433
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: are going to be big. You know, they weren't a

434
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: lot of black sports writers and whatnot, so that she

435
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: was saying what was logical at that point to her.

436
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: But once I made it clear that this is the

437
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: career path I wanted, she was all the way in.

438
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: And I remember taking that bus ride and thinking, you know,

439
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: is this going to turn into a career? Am I

440
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: going to have enough money to finish paying for college?

441
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: You know, all these question marks? And then here we

442
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: are and in October, this building that I used to

443
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: cover my first game and college is now going to

444
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: have my name on it outside and inside with a plaque.

445
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: And I think it serves as an example of what

446
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: you could do when you follow your dreams and your passion.

447
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: And the other thing that is just hard to come

448
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: to terms with is the idea that it's forever, you

449
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that something's going to be there

450
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: and people many years from now, either a students at

451
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Southern Connecticut State University of new Haven or kids who

452
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: live in New Haven could look up and see that

453
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: and go Rob Parker and maybe google it and figure

454
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: out who is that. So I'm humble by it, I'm honored,

455
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: and you know I've always. I'm thrilled. I've been a

456
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: part of Southern Connecticut for a long time and I'm

457
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: not a Johnny come lately. I started a scholarship back

458
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four years out of college, so I've

459
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: been involved in this university for a long time.

460
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 6: Shout out to Rice, no big shots, congrats, love to

461
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 6: see it. Said it before.

462
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 4: Man, that's you know, it's great to get flowers when

463
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 4: you can not that when people are dead or going

464
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 4: through it.

465

Speaker 6: Man, that's tough, Bro, I'll say that.

485
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 4: Okay, there's so many, but one one more recent that's

486
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 4: kind of a thing is and I think Rob will

487
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 4: be able to relate to this. We've talked about it

488
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 4: being able to bounce back when you were down and

489
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: you know, I was at the other place and you know,

490
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: moved on from me, and you're like, all right, what

491
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna do?

492
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 6: How are we gonna bounce back? And I was able

493
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 6: to bounce.

494
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: Back better, stronger in all facets, you know, in all

495
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: facets that you can think of, and in the situation

496
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 4: I'm in now. So to me, it was getting that

497
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 4: first real bump in the roll where you're like, dang,

498
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 4: I was just coming up, just making a name, just

499
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: finally making a couple of dollars, and you got, you know,

500
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 4: kicked to the curb, if you will, and and able

501
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: to bounce back and out, you know, a handful of

502
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: years later and being in a much better position. That

503
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 4: for me personally was was great, A cool, funny one,

504
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: I'll say real quick, having somebody you look up to

505
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 4: that you think great and they find out they're a

506
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 4: fan of yours. Subconsciously, I always wanted to do something

507
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 4: like our Citio Hall and having him be already man,

508
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: I watch you every day man, you know, and telling

509
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 4: you you kind of got it.

510
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 6: Somebody you were like that inspired you that that was awesome.

511
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: Man.

512
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to everybody really quickly. Martin Weiss.

513
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 9: When Goot Shapiro kept asking me what I was doing

514
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 9: on Saturday Night, and I said, Scott, this is getting weird.

515
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 9: And then he said, no, you know what, I want

516
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 9: to give you a show Saturday night. Because he kept

517
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 9: asking me and I was like, Yo, I'm doing you know,

518
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 9: I'm kind of busy, you know, Saturday Night had plans

519
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 9: and not to cancel the plan.

520
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: So after a while I was like, Yo, are you

521
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna ask me what I'm doing this Saturday on a Monday?

522
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 6: And he's like, actually, what are you doing?

523
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: Like for the rest Saturday life obstensibly.

524
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 6: And he was like, you know, I don't want to

525
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: give you a show.

526
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: Here you go there you go, rob Ge, Alex, let's

527
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: go to Alex Alex.

528
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is really my comics people,

529
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna claim it anyways. Okay, So when we first

530
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: launched the Odd Couple six years ago, now, one of

531
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: our internal goals was, hey, we got to pass Doug

532
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: Gottlieb one of the downloads. Yes, we said we got

533
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 3: six months to pass it. I think we docked it

534
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 3: out like in two and a half. And because unlike

535
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: other shows I produced, I do have some input on

536
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 3: this one. There's my fingerprints if you look at the

537
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: rundown are on it. So I felt like that was

538
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 3: my own personal confiment, like, hey, we had big goals

539
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: and I don't need to we get him. We got

540
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: them really.

541
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: Quickly, no doubt about it, Rob G. You know that

542
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: that is definitely the case, Alex quickly.

543
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 10: So my two, I guess, the sports one is working

544
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 10: on one of the biggest national sports shows, The Herd

545
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 10: Colin Cowherd, and I don't even like sports, so that's

546
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 10: pretty cool. Oh that's dope. And then the other one,

547
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 10: real quick is anime. I literally had two years with

548
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 10: my friend went nowhere. We started, got three hundred thousand followers,

549
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 10: was hosting anime conventions, and it just shows, like like

550
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 10: you said, Rom, if you commit to something, it'll commit

551
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 10: to you.

552
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: And for me, you know, there's two. I mean, obviously

553
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: this is the biggest, as I said to you before,

554
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: because it's forever. And the other one was, of course

555
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: being the first black sports columnist at the Detroit Free

556
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: Press because the paper was one hundred and sixty one

557
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: years old when they hired me. That's crazy, amazing,
