Now 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:42.040 he's rapping. He's even making his boxing debut against another 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.839 NFL great, Adrian Peterson. So we'll talk to him all 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.559 about that. We'll talk about him playing with the Steelers 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.800 and what he meant by saying he wished he had 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.840 a time machine to go back to eighteen. Okay, so 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.120 last week my new co host was welcomed with rave reviews. 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.320 Y'all love him. I love him. We had a lot 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.760 of fun kicking things off. Jerry Ferrara, how are you doing, 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:09.320 my friend. I'm just glad you guys had me back. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.840 I wasn't so sure. You never know. After you record 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.000 a pod, you're like, I think I think we I 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.520 think we did well. You know, I think it was good. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.120 So no, now I feel like every week two that 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.600 goes by, we're getting closer to the football. And then 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:25.040 obviously we got the hoops countdown, so I'm locked in, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.560 ready to go. Well, even if you totally stunk, I 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.080 think your contract would still keep you around for a year. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:36.160 So good thing you did. Yeah, exactly, good good thing right? Yeah, yeah, 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.720 we don't do ten days around here year contract. No, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.200 We're with each other all football season, all year. This 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.840 is gonna be so much fun. One of the things 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.600 I promised you last week because we kicked things off, 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.160 is that I would start Entourage from the very beginning. Obviously, 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.680 you played Turtle. That still is what a lot of 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.920 people call you. What you know, When I tell people 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.320 you're the co host, they say, oh, I loved her Turtle. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.240 I love Entourage. But I made it through four episodes 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:10.240 and I'm really really loving this show. I'm laughing out loud. 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.639 So yeah, and don't I'm twenty three years old. I'm 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.000 probably a lot closer to two pounds back then. Yeah, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.800 walk me through your weight loss journey, because it doesn't 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.080 even look like you. That was just, you know, I 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.560 just I was always like a kind of chubby kid. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.400 But and also that's how they wanted me on the show, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.560 Turtle and definitely fit, you know, to be a little schlubby, 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.440 a little a little overweight, and then you know, you 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.160 end up working so much craft service is really good. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.440 I started enjoying dinner and stuff like that. Yeah, I 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.680 kind of ballooned up to like two oh five, And 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.320 it wasn't until I turned like thirty years old where 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.680 I'm like, you know, I gotta get this together. This 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.840 is really starting to go down the path of something 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:53.680 that's gonna be hard to correct as I get older. 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.520 And I just like it was very simple. I just 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.960 like started lightly working out and eating a little bit 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.679 better and just little by little over tight. Didn't lose 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.480 like thirty forty pounds and two months like you hear 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.400 some of those stories, but uh yeah, they were not 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.520 happy when I you'll see later on like I come 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.720 back like in between like year six and seven, which 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.600 is only in the show, supposed to be like a 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:18.200 month later, and I'm like sixty pounds and Doug Allen 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.520 couldn't write all the kind of fat jokes that they 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.880 used to hit me with in early in season one. 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.920 So yeah, that that's kind of my fitness journey. So 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.560 what I'm learning about your character is, I mean, you're 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.919 just you take such a brunt of all the jokes 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:36.840 and then obviously the the dog Honold and the attack 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.440 like did you did you have a stunt devil in 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.200 that scene? No, that was me And I'm definitely in 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.920 a lot of I'm wearing like all Rangers goalie equipment, 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.440 so you see, even like the sports was pretty prevalent 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.120 in that first episode. I have a Yankee jersey on 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.280 at one point a Yankee hat and in a Ranger jersey. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.640 So if you actually look at the dog attack closely, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.720 that dog was so sweet, was like licking my face 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.200 and like they couldn't actually get him to violently like 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.200 pull me by the crotch. So they had a really 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.320 kind of edit around that because there's a sweet dog 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.880 who didn't wanna, didn't even want to pretend to hurt me, 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.840 so okay, okay, well and it was just like an 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:19.000 actor dog like how does that work? And shows Yeah, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.960 we I think we've had two over the years that 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.400 played Arnold. The one that was there the longest was 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.680 like Rocky, his real name was Rocky. I mean even 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.359 the later episode, so there's a switch. Well I notice 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.560 it's a different dog. You won't notice. But it was 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:35.039 funny because they actually had a little puppy also as well, 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.839 that they were sort of grooming to replace Rocky. Imagine 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.560 that it's kind of like some quarterback situations we've seen 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.240 in the NFL, where like, hey, we're drafting this young kid. 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.640 He's not gonna play. It's still your job, but eventually 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.800 he will take your job and you will be sent 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.320 it to retirement. So we had Rocky for a good 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.640 amount of time and then Rocky stepped away from the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.159 camera and then I'm not remembering because there's only like 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.880 one year that we had the new pup, but yeah, 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.680 he filled in. But yeah, the dog just like stormed 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.200 off set before when you didn't want to work. Yeah, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.080 it's it's it's a it's definitely changing the dynamic of 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.800 a scene when you're working with kids or animals. Eva's 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.159 so then also, like the episode I just watched is 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.200 when you're all going to go on a big group 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:19.440 date because he has a date with Ari's assistant, and 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.800 then everyone is trying to find dates and you get 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.239 the one from the fan mail of the naked girl 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.920 who comes and is obsessed with Finns. But the whole 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.800 thing about your character is like you cannot get a 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.760 girl to save your life because they just they want 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.360 to see Vince's room. You, I think, give a piece 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.359 of his clothing to one girl you have sleepover. I 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.640 mean that your character. I feels so bad for your character. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:44.920 Well yeah, and I do even remember, like, god, how 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.920 am I gonna let this make this line work? Where 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.000 I'm basically like, yeah, I should her where Vince s 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.000 eats breakfast. Then that was it, Like some of them 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.400 was like, you know again, this is two thousand four 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.320 different times. But you'll see. I think there there is 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.880 a come upance that will you continue to watch, you know, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.480 of all those characters, I do think and maybe because 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.640 I was the youngest and sort of like the little brother, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.520 I was the latest to evolve throughout the show. But 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.599 when I do, I think a lot of the fans 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.039 back in the day really appreciated Turtles Journey. And now 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.160 I'm in New York with my kids were back in Brooklyn. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.240 My kids are not Brooklyn kids, which makes me very 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.040 upset because they probably know Ohio. But you know, the 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:26.920 show was really popular in New York in l A. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.680 So there is a lot of people coming up like, 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.120 oh my god, Turtle take a picture. And my three 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.520 year old is like mesmerized, like why are all these 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.320 people coming up to you? So in bed we woke 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.080 up one morning he looks at Me's like, Dad, Dad, 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.599 are you a turtle? That's like you said that with 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.080 the most honest, earnest like why did or you were tortoise? 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.240 Why do people call you turtle? And I'm like, you know, 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.040 well we'll get to that down the road. So there 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.279 that'll that'll come up over the years. You know, we'll 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.839 find out. You'll find out when you're probably in your teens. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.600 Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean this show is pretty racy. 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.920 When will you let them watch it? That's the funny thing, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.960 right what let Like you know, it was a lot 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.520 easier when there was no internet to be just like 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:09.800 you're not watching this and you hide the VCR tape 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.800 or the DVD. Nowadays, like he's gonna have a phone. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.680 You want your kids to have phone for safety reasons, 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.840 so you know he's gonna And I haven't really fully 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.000 thought that through of what happens when the kids stumbles 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.560 upon your work from twenty five years ago by the 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.520 time he has a phone, So I really don't know 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.120 how I'm going to handle that. They're saying in Cleveland 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.240 or just in the Midwest in general, like you don't 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.360 get shouted out as much as you do on the coast. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.880 It definitely comes up. But there's just so you know, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.440 if it's just a numbers game, there's so much, so 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.800 many more people out and about. Even this morning at 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.400 the park, you know, there's hundreds, if not like a 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.680 thousand people coming in and out. So your chances of 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.240 getting spotted or a lot greater. Yeah, so yeah, he 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.240 asked me a lot of people. Yeah, and you know, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.440 we were New York guys on the show, Like I said, 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.320 l a and New York like the Midwest, the middle 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:00.640 of the country. You love the show too, but the 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:05.680 coasts definitely early on loved loved Entourage. Okay, so I 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.080 haven't told you this, and again I'm just now catching 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.360 up and I'm loving it like every spare second I 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.680 have as I'm giving my baby a bottle anything we 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.280 are watching on the kid loves Entrage too, by the way, 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.440 he's watching the TV. It's funny now because back a 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.800 couple of years ago, I had an Entrage cast member 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:26.600 slide in my d MS. Okay, well you know it's 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.480 not me right, let's just clear the air right there. Me, 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:33.080 we have never really met until we've okay, great, oh 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.200 oh boy. All right, I'm buckling up here, and I 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.960 don't want to play this game because no one like 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.960 you don't need out people, you don't need to like, 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.200 you know, I'm not gonna say all the hey, all 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.360 the people. Boy, am I tuting my horn? Like who's 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.840 sliding my d M? Is not like that? But in general, 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.240 you know, I don't want to play that game. But 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.120 this one is now very funny as I'm watching the 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.360 show because I'm like, you know, I didn't really know 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.080 who he was at the time. I had to ask 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.440 my sister, Okay, I want you to take a guess 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.280 who oh boy. Um. Well, here's how I'm gonna narrow 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.320 this down. I'm gonna cross Kevin Dillon off the list 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.720 because I don't know if Kevin Dillon knows how to 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.640 slide into a d M technologically speaking, you know, that's 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.240 the one thing I've always admired about Kevin Dialon. I 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.440 think he just got like an iPhone, like not that 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.520 long ago. He's just not like he doesn't want to 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.240 be on the phone. He wants to interact with people, 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.360 so I'm crossing him off. Okay, I Connolly two was 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.600 very late to social media, if I had to guess, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.959 because I think he was the earliest on social media. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:32.840 Maybe and I'm gonna guess Adrian, that would be my guests. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.800 I don't feel great about it, but that's my guess. No, 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.000 then I would have known who that was. I mean, yeah, 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.000 and I probably would have responded to he's a good 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.920 looking dude. No, I'll give you one more guess with Piven? 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.719 Sure why not? Yeah? Okay, did that surprise? He was? 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:55.320 He that kind of guy? You know, I really don't know, 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.800 but you didn't know. Piven at that point was in 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.760 a lot of a lot of movies long before he 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.360 probably had the most, the longest resume before Entourage either 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.360 him while it was close right over my head, Well, 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.079 I would see I would have lost that bed. I'm 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.959 already damn already minus money on the pod. I'm oh 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.000 for one, So I hope I could pick it back 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.800 up on this episode. Oh yeah. I sent it to 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.160 my sister and I was like, who's this guy? Because 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.360 you know it was verified and who is this? And 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.560 she told me, Yeah, Anyways, I had to tell you that, 0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.760 but no, uh, hey, he's great on the show. To 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.760 my god, is he a funny character? Yeah? Three years? 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.080 Oh yeah, no, he's so good. Well yeah, so every 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.520 week I'm going to tell you where I'm at in 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.480 the show, and yeah, totally loving it. Okay, you promised 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.520 me this week that you would find me some Houston 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.880 Texans wins because last week we broke down the a 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.200 f C and you thought that there would be some 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.640 surprises in the Texans schedule. So that was your homework assignment, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.120 find me some Texans wins? Did you find any? What 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.679 you got? So, guys, listen, I know I ran my 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.160 mouth a lot last week that the Texans. I didn't 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.600 even say the Texans are gonna just win more than 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.679 four and a half game. I said they're gonna upset 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.400 a good team, maybe more than once during the year. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.800 They sort of did it last year. I went through 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.440 the schedule. Remember this now we're still we're barely even 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:20.000 through preseason. So this is not final answer time. This 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.319 is my early early picks. I went through it. You know, 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.760 Bears Week three doesn't really qualify. I really don't know 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:28.640 what the Bears are gonna do. And we'll talk more 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.080 about the NFC eas We're gonna dive into the NFC later. 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.280 They did already beat the Titans last year. I had 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.959 that circle week. But here it is. I truly, truly 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.520 like the Thursday night game. It's week nine. I do 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.640 think the Eagles are going to be a good team. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.640 It's in Houston. I think that is going to be 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.439 one of those sleepy it's Thursday night. Those are always 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.400 a little weird. I think they might stumble into a loss. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.720 That's my number one. I do have a number two, 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.719 and I'm already gonna pick on the NFC East Week fourteen, 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.640 the battle for Texas Exans cowboys. That sounds like a cowboy. 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.600 Let me trip over my own two feet, stumble against 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.280 the Texans, loot and bring the NFC East back to 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.280 craziness because we're supposed to run away with it. And 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.360 now we just lost the Texans in Week fourteen, So 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.880 the doors open for the Commanders to sneak in at 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.480 eight and eight and nine. We'll get to all this. 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.679 By the way, I'm coming in hot on the NFC East. Okay, 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.400 I'm loving this. I'm loving this, and I have a 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.560 lot of concerns about the Cowboys too. I can't wait 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.440 to to circle back to the great state of Texas. 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.120 But that's what we're gonna do. After we talk to 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.520 Mr Bell, we are going to break down the NFC 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.240 and I think we both have a little bit more 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.520 skin in the game. That's both of our teams, the 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.520 Packers and Giants, who play each other this year in 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.760 London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. And I haven't said this 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.760 on the show yet, but I'm moving to London in 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.240 like a week, so I'm gonna go to that game. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.680 I'm really excited. Maybe I can do some live reporting 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.440 for Unleashed there, but that game, Jerry, are we gonna 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.600 be on good terms that week? It really all depends, 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.120 because that's what we four or five said. Yeah, it's 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.120 October nine. Yeah, if the Giants are like one in four, 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:06.640 if they get out of the gate like they've gotten 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:08.960 out of the gate the last couple of years, like, yeah, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.160 I'm gonna want to win, but I might not be 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.520 as obsessed. But if we get out of the gate 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.880 and or even close to five hundred hanging around, that's 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.839 the fun part about your team being in the NFC East. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.400 You are truly never out of it, even at since 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.200 you're still sniffing around the division, so that it will 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.400 be cool. But I will say the Giants play good 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.600 in London historically, they have a lot of London games 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.520 under their belt. They play well in London. Well. Yeah, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.520 So as I was watching the Packers preseason, you know, 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.600 there was a lot of talk Everyone's upset Jordan's Love 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.760 through three picks. I think two of them were as 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.680 the receiver's faults, but I don't know. It's uh. I 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.520 told the story on Twitter Live the other day for 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.600 bed MGM. We did a win total preview for the 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.400 whole NFL and when we got to the Packers, I 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.320 mentioned I was at a wedding this summer and that 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.440 I was talking with Jordan's Love for a minute and 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.920 did it really eyes it was him? And then my 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.840 husband came up and I was like, oh, that guy 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.320 was really nice, and he said live, that was Jordan Love, 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:11.160 that was how cub me two. So it's a great guy. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.320 Great guys. So I'm I'm only cheering for the best 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.640 for Room, but a little bit concerned about the health 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:19.960 of Aaron Rodgers, the future of Aaron Rodgers, because we 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.880 just we don't know what we're doing. You know, we're 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.720 beat up on the offensive line with David Baktiari still recovering, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.120 and then our receivers. We're not sure who's gonna fill 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.520 in for Davante Adams. So I certainly have question marks 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.080 for the Packers. Yeah, I don't know when we do 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.800 our NFC PREVI. I don't know if you're gonna like 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.560 some of the things I'm I'm gonna say about your squad, 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.280 but I'm sure you're gonna absolutely destroy my squad. So 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.640 I'm ready for I'm totally ready. I'm defensive. I'm a 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.760 defensive minded player today. I love it. Hey, you know 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.880 what I'm ready for? What's that? I'm ready for you 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.840 to take over the reins any topic you want to 0:14:55.840 --> 0:15:01.840 talk about. It is time for you to unlead. Unleached friend, 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:10.000 It's time. Yeah, I'm nervous about this one because I 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.160 know no one's gonna people are gonna this is gonna 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.960 be a big eye roll for a lot of you listening. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.080 I know it. And this is gonna be on social media. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.280 I'm sure the lovely people at bet mgm A're gonna 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.440 clip this put it out there. So but I want 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.280 to prove to you that I'm going to speak my 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.040 mind and not be afraid to take strong stances. I 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.760 even discussed it at dinner last night. This is not 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.840 my original idea, and some people have mentioned this before, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.880 but this is a everyone has that one friend. You 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.680 have a few drinks, you just talk sports, and the 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.960 conversation goes all over the place. This is his thing 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.640 that I am now fully on board with it. You ready, 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.240 I'm gonna give it to you in one line and 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:51.120 then we'll talk it out. Super Bowl Saturday. Oh super now? 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.640 Really exactly? That's the face everyone kind of makes. It's like, oh, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.200 not the best idea. It's Super Bowl Sunday. Lord knows, 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:00.000 the NFL does not need help marketing the Super Bowl 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:03.120 to us. Why move it if it's such a successful thing. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.680 Just think about if you actually went to the Super Bowl, right, 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.200 and it's on a Saturday, and then you have that 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.200 whole entire next day, or even if you have to 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.600 be up at work five am on Monday, that's kind 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.400 of a bummer. But if it's on Saturday, you get 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.520 all day to recover. Sunday. You could even actually still 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.160 have a Sunday Funday after the Super Bowl. No one 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.640 really owns Saturday night like college football obviously does. They'll 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.880 be done by the Super Bowl UFC does. Hopefully you 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.480 guys can get off that same weekend super Bowl Saturday. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.200 It will be great for the city that the Super 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.680 bowls in because people won't you know, Sunday. We gotta 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.280 get out here. I got worked. Next day, they might 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.480 linger around, you know, Indianapolis for a couple of hours 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.760 more than they actually would. This is an old head 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.560 take because the bottom line is, I don't want to 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.760 be up till one o'clock in the morning on the 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.000 East Coast watch I struggle with it on Thursday and 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.320 Monday night games. The super Bowl obviously you have to 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.480 watch it. Why not super Bowl Sunday? Why not? What 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.440 gain is it to have it on the Sunday other 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.920 than historically that's what it's always just been. What other 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.600 gain is there on Sunday one game? Coming from a 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:16.320 TV network perspective, I'm sure there's a reason. I'm sure 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.920 there's some kind of programming issue. I'm sure there's a 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.040 reason it's on Sunday, and I'll look into that next week. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.240 I'll tell you if I find anything. As someone who 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.800 most years of my life goes to the super Bowl. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.159 I will tell you it's great having a full weekend 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.719 in the host city leading up to the game with 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.399 all the hubbub, you know. It's like my dad calls 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.440 the super Bowl on radio, and we always do a 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.919 big Saturday night dinner. Like my mom books it whenever 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.320 the city is announced of who's hosting the super Bowl. 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:51.199 She finds the best steak house and and books it 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:53.800 and we bring like beads and colors and like we 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.840 do it big, and Saturday before the super Bowl in 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.600 the host city is popping, like if it is an indie, 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.240 if it is you know, in l A last year, 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.280 it was popping, like it's it's just what you do. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.159 It's just a part of it. And you know what, Jerry, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:11.240 why ruin a good thing? I think, see a good thing. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.680 I'm gonna push back a little bit here. I hear 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.359 what you're saying. I totally get it. The night before, 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.400 there's all the hype, there's all the excitement. You slide 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.080 that to Friday. I think you have the same effect. 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.280 Now it's a lot easier. I feel like for people 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.040 to either leave like you're gonna be there. Probably if 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.000 you're either covering it, working it, or just going. You're 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.399 probably gonna get there like Wednesday or Thursday, right, So 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:39.440 it really doesn't shorten your stay, if anything, it just 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.520 extends it. Now, those parties on Saturday night, why not 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:44.960 have post game parties? Why can't it be the next 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.760 day and you actually get to talk about the game 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.840 with your friends that you just watch at a pool 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.240 somewhere or what I mean, if it's in a warm 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:57.800 city or at a casino or whatever, at some other party. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.320 Why can't you have the day after party? Why not? 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.960 I will tell you the super Bowl crowd is so corporate, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.800 like disappointing lee corporate. In fact, every super Bowl I've 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.680 been to is a quieter NFL game than a home 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.880 game anywhere else, a Week four home game anywhere else. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.240 And maybe that's just people have to be at work 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.479 at eight am on Monday morning, and they're kind of like, well, 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:24.919 how much do we really want to get wild here? 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.120 It's Sunday night. If it was on Saturday, maybe people 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.840 would let their hair down a little more, knowing, hey, 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.960 we can recover Sunday flights not till four pm. Will 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.880 be in bed at eight o'clock Sunday night, wake up 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.200 fresh as a daisy for work on Monday. This is 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.280 a horrible take. It's an old head take. I get it, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.919 but I believe this in my heart. And the minute 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.520 Vince Carter retired, making it so that I was older 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.560 than every single NBA player active, I became an old head. 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:53.520 That was the minute. That's the only time I ever 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.919 felt like I'm really getting old in my life. And 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.280
