No? Oh, it's a very 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: very high end club. I I once. I have been 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 3: to the Breakers before. 46 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 5: It sounds like a pop group from the eighties. I 47 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 5: was invited. I was invited this is this is quite. 48 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 5: This is quite the party that I was invited to 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 5: years ago. He's smiling right now. I swear, I swear 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 5: to you this is true. This was in two thousand 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 5: and three or two thousand and four, around this time. 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 5: It was the holiday season. It was earlier in December. 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: I was at the Breakers because I got invited to 54 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: a gala, a party put on by former Today Show 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: host Matt Lawer. Yes, it was a Matt Lower foundation 56 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: because I was visiting a buddy who worked in radio. 57 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: His radio station was tied up with this foundation. I 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: was not dressed for it. I looked like I actually 59 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: was underdressed as a waiter. But the likes of Brian 60 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: Gumbel was there. I remember that. Other celebs Chris Tucker 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: was there. Yes, so I've been to the Breakers before 62 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: in West Palm Beach, Florida. Aim droppers, how about that. 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: That's Matt Lower been up chilling. I didn't see him 64 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: spotted by some paparazzi lately. 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 6: I think he's trying to rebuild his good name or 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 6: good luck for that, good luck for that. 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 5: I think the last thing we heard from Matt was 68 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 5: that the truth will come out. Man, it's been like 69 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 5: nine years. I haven't no way. So what do you 70 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 5: like best about this birthday batch? Do you like the 71 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 5: fact that John bon Jovi himself is going to perform that, 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: the dress code you have to wear, a touch of red, 73 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: a touch of red anywhere on your on your person, 74 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 5: or the Masters themed dinner menu. 75 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: What I love is how it's got a title sponsor. 76 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tiger Wood's Birthday brought to you by Bridgestone, 77 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: Like that would be like that, It's true, it does 78 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 2: have a title option. I don't like. I don't mind 79 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: dress code. What I don't like is, hey, nineteen twenties party. 80 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: I hate crap like that. Like that's just like just yeah, 81 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: I hate it. I cannot stand it so and especially 82 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: for a birthday when you're turning fifty. For Tiger and 83 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: Red and what red is meant. 84 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 7: For his Sunday Red, the Sunday Red, Yeacific Sunday Red. 85 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: Well and his company is now Sunday Red. Like I 86 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: understand the red portion of it. I have no problems 87 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: doing that because you can be creative and how you 88 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: want to. I thought it was interesting that it's John 89 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: bon Jovi and not like bon Jovi like you didn't 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: get Sam Bora. I know him and Sam bon Jovi 91 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: and Sam boro were not on the same page, but 92 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: he just wants John bon Jovi doesn't care who the 93 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: backing band is is. I thought that that was interesting, 94 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 2: but ultimately I think it's the title sponsor that just 95 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: has me. I mean, I've got a birthday in two weeks. 96 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: It is presented by no one, but it does make 97 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: me think of when you have a when you have 98 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 2: a December birthday or a January birthday, what you don't 99 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: realize is is when you live in a colder portion 100 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,239 Speaker 2: of the country, which Florida is not, you are very limited. 101 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: So growing up, I was always my town was about 102 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: nine thousand, ninety five hundred people. We had a bowling alley. 103 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: There were about seven bowling parties a year that you 104 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: would go to at any point between October and March, 105 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: because it really was the Yes, really, I honestly had 106 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 2: a flashback to birthday cakes, whether it be mine, whether 107 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: it be someone else's. You load the kids in the car, 108 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: maybe another parent, another group of kids. You go to 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: the bowling alley because it's eight degrees outside, and that's 110 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: how you would spend your day. So instead of having 111 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: John bon Jovi or everybody wearing red. When I was 112 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: a kid, we would grow up or growing up, we 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: would go to a bowling alley because it was indoors 114 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: and really one of the only activities that you could 115 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: actually do. 116 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, that sounds like my childhood too, Dan. My town 117 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 8: was small and same thing. Like, there was always like 118 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 8: instead of the bowling alley, it would probably be like 119 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 8: at this little pizza joint that was around the corner 120 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 8: from our house, and all the kids would just kind 121 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 8: of go there by default for their birthday, arcade games, 122 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 8: all that. 123 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, all that stuff was there. 124 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's one of those spots and it was I 125 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 8: mean as a kid, you're like, man, this is the 126 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 8: best thing ever. And you get older and you're like, 127 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 8: wait a minute, I want to go to Italy and 128 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 8: I want my friends to come there. So when you 129 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 8: start having those type of I guess that kind of 130 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 8: pizza party disruptor, it's kind of hard to go back 131 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 8: and enjoy the pizza party. 132 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: As much I love the pizza party. We never had 133 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: laser tag at our pizza place. You have a pizza 134 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: We had a pizza hut. 135 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 7: Maybe that has more millennial. 136 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think so. I think that that. 137 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 7: Became more of a thing. But that pizza was always 138 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 7: like rubber. 139 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 6: It was always good, though could be good for a 140 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 6: kid who doesn't have a good palate. 141 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: The pizza hut, the pizza that we had as a kid, 142 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: to me was delicious. Oh yeah, magnificent walking in because 143 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: it would put you at a long table and then 144 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: all the gifts were at the end of the table. 145 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: There was nothing better than that. 146 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 9: That pan pizza when it came out of the oven 147 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 9: would scald the roof of your mouth. 148 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 7: But it was the best thing. Yes, it was worth it, 149 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 7: yeah right, totally worth it. 150 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 8: But you guys remember that, like actually going to the 151 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 8: pizza huts and sitting down and having like a nut. 152 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: That was so fun. 153 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 9: Though, Yes, my generation had what was it the what 154 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 9: was the reading thing? The reading club they had for 155 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 9: I I don't remember it at all, but like my elementary 156 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 9: had an element like a reading club. Book it book it, yes, 157 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 9: and if you read enough books you got a free 158 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 9: personal pizza and that was always a chance to go 159 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 9: out to the lunch beffet at pizza. 160 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: I thought, true story.

Now, on October fifteenth, nineteen eighty eight, I 200 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 5: turned sixteen, and I had a party, And that was 201 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: also the night that Kurt Gibson hit the most memorable 202 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 5: home run in World Series history for my team Wonderful. 203 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 5: I'll never not think of that moment associated with my birthday. 204 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 5: And there was a story that I'm going to tell 205 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 5: for the first time. So my mother, God bless her. 206 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 5: She was always thoughtful and trying to think of everything. 207 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 5: She put my Dodger's pennant above the TV. So there 208 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 5: was a bunch of us buddies watching TV Dodger's pennant 209 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 5: above the TV. It was just a great touch right 210 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 5: Dodger themed party. And every time something went right in 211 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 5: that ninth inning, whether it be Mike Davis drawing a 212 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 5: walk from Eckersley, the pennant would drop. It would just drop, 213 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 5: and we would put it back up. And then the 214 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 5: pennant drops right before Kurt Gibson's home run. 215 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 3: Again. 216 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 5: I know I'm triggering something with Sam, very superstitious, but 217 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 5: I will never forget the pennant, the birthday my mother 218 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 5: and all that stuff. It's a great memory. It's got 219 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 5: to be like one of the best days of your life. Yeah, 220 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 5: it's absolutely. 221 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 222 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 2: You always talk about like the birth of you know, child, 223 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: their marriage or whatever the case is, but that would 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: be up there, Chris. 225 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, I want to talk about the last birthday I 226 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 9: just had. So first off, my birthday is September twenty first, 227 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 9: so I have the earth, wind and Fire birthday, oh right, 228 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 9: So I always get to celebrate that. I always like 229 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 9: to pretend everyone posting the September videos on TikTok or Twitter, 230 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 9: it's all for me. 231 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 7: That's all because of me. Yeah, right there. But this 232 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 7: last one. 233 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 9: I took about a week away from work here and 234 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 9: one of the things I had always wanted to do 235 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 9: is there is an island off Los Angeles called Catalina Islands. 236 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 9: And yes, I know, you can play the Cattaloe Lina 237 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 9: wine mixer drops all you want. It's a fun little 238 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 9: island out there. My plan to go out there was 239 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 9: to see the bison. There is a bison herd that's 240 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 9: been out there since the nineteen twenties. They were put 241 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 9: out there for a Western movie that was shot on 242 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 9: the island and just left out there, and this bison 243 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 9: herd has been out there for over one hundred years 244 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 9: and now finally they're slowly dying off. I think most 245 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 9: of them are infertile by now. So I wanted to 246 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 9: go see the buffalo out on a trop out on 247 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 9: a Pacific island. It was the coolest thing, and I 248 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 9: got there. It rained the night before. I talked to 249 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 9: the woman as we were boarding up on this like 250 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 9: rigged up jeep to go out there, and it's like, yeah, 251 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 9: don't get your hopes up. The herd hasn't been seen 252 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 9: in three weeks. Not only heard from Yeah, not only 253 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 9: not only we got out in the turn and it's 254 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 9: the back of Catalina's very hilly and very kind of 255 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 9: bad landy. But out of the first turn, not only 256 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 9: did I see a bison. It was thirty feet away 257 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 9: from me, mulching on on on grass, and that was 258 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 9: one of three different bison individually I saw. And then 259 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 9: we saw the whole herd from the from there's like 260 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 9: a hill where they've got an airport out there, and 261 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 9: we saw the whole herd from up there as well. 262 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 9: So I saw all these majestic creatures. It was awesome. 263 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 9: It was breathtaking. And then I went back to Avalon 264 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 9: and I got drunk watching football that same day. 265 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: See, you could do that because you're in southern California. 266 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: You could also do that because it's September. Harry's got 267 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 2: a summer birthday, so you can do a lot of 268 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: stuff outside. 269 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 3: Jason's in the fall. Sam's not too. 270 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: Far after Jason, a couple of days after, but you 271 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: could do fall activities. I don't know what it was 272 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: like in Iowa, but there's still time to do outside stuff. 273 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: October in Iowa's is mixed bag. 274 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 6: It could be cold, it could be seventy degrees in 275 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 6: sunny with no leaves on the trees. But my mom 276 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 6: grew up on a farm in eastern Iowa, and in 277 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 6: the nineties when my grandfather retired as a farmer, they 278 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 6: bought the property from my grandparents, just like the five 279 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 6: acres where the house and the barns are. So I 280 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 6: would have a lot of friends out there and stuff. 281 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 6: And I think at least two or three times I 282 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 6: had a birthday out there, probably my twelfth birthday, I'd 283 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 6: say like nineteen. 284 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 7: Ninety eight ish. 285 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 6: I had maybe six six, five or six friends, maybe 286 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 6: select friends. I was about to say something else, I'm 287 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 6: just gonna avoid that. I had a very popular term. 288 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 6: My elite group of friend and my inner circle would 289 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: come out and we would do like paintball guns. 290 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 7: We would do pellet guns.

It wasn't an option 321 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 5: not to have a bouncy house at the at the 322 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 5: birthday party.

But yeah, I 329 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: think it's been commonplace around. 330 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 5: Has Brody had a bouncy house? 331 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 3: No, he is not, not yet. 332 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 9: This does remind me of my grandfather always told me 333 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 9: that he had to. He lived in Florida for a 334 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 9: time and one of his birthdays they had to do 335 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 9: it from a shelter because the hurricane was coming through. Oh, 336 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,359 Speaker 9: it was like had the cake, had the cake basically 337 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 9: in a save area away from all the windows boarding 338 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 9: up and everything. 339 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: Like Jason brings up the point too, of like of 340 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 2: is it is it a competition? 341 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 3: Is it just what the kid wants? You know? 342 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: I liked I liked bowling. I liked bowling. I think 343 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: it was fun. I think it was a fun time, 344 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: so I didn't mind going, and it was just it 345 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: works out that way, like let's get everybody together and 346 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 2: go bowling. Our our high school at the time had 347 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: an indoor pool, so you could do like a swimming 348 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: sort of thing. But there I know that there were 349 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: parties like where it would be like, hey, the town 350 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: wasa was like the big city bias, Like there was 351 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: an indoor pool at a hotel in Watsa. 352 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 6: He did bat birthdays like that, So you would go 353 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 6: to the indoor pool, stay over the Yeah. 354 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 7: You'd have cake. You did go to the pool. 355 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, some places were even just you could just use 356 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: the pool, like you didn't have to like you would 357 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: have to pay for it. Yeah, but because that would 358 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 2: be a way that they would get in, because like 359 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: that would be another option. 360 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 8: But isn't that funny though? As kids, these these nominal things, 361 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 8: these things that are kind of frowned upon. Now we're 362 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 8: the crown jewels of our time and our lives at 363 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 8: that time, and so you have those moments as kids, 364 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 8: and then you become adults and you become jaded by 365 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 8: all of that, and then you get to a point 366 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 8: where you get a little bit older and you start 367 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 8: to appreciate that's those smaller things again, Like that's the 368 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 8: bookend of our lives and how those things happen for us. 369 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 8: It's just so crazy, And I think that's kind of 370 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 8: like the metaphor for life, right, Like we have these 371 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 8: highs and lows, and we have these expectations of how 372 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 8: great things are supposed to be all the time. But 373 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 8: if you really scale back and go back to the 374 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 8: simpler times and the simple things, those are things we 375 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 8: appreciate the most. And so that's what I love about 376 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 8: this this segment and hearing everybody's story about the good 377 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 8: times they had in those moments. 378 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: I think I've told it. I know i've told this 379 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: story on the air. I don't know if i've told 380 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: it with you guys before. When I am one of 381 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 2: the few people that does make a big deal about 382 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: my own birthday, I think ninety eight percent of grown 383 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: adults don't make a big deal out of theirs, but 384 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: I do. 385 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 7: In the half birthday guy too, Yeah that's yeah, that's 386 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 7: kind of a joke. 387 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: It's gonna be running joke, but yeah, some people's July sixteenth, 388 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: the half birthday January sixteenth, is my birthday.

It's the it's a 479 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: it's a similar staff, but they're they're not the same. 480 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 2: I saw a stat that kind of got under my skin. 481 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 2: Carry that said, first round quarterbacks in the playoffs. Twelve 482 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 2: of the fourteen playoff teams how themselves a first round quarterbacks. 483 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 2: You know what that means, Get yourself a first round quarterback. 484 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: The problem with that is if you look at the NFL, 485 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: everybody has a first round quarterback except six teams. I 486 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: went through the NFL team by team. Here are your 487 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: non first round quarterbacks. Two in the playoffs Brock Party 488 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts Yep, Hurts a second round pick, Party 489 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: a seventh round pick. The other four Tyler Shook from 490 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 2: the Saints, Dak Prescott, Shardoor Sanders, and the Browns in 491 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: Gino Smith. So in twenty twenty five, like where we 492 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 2: are and you're looking at your quarterback, and heck, Kenny 493 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: Pickett was with the Browns for a little while. Those 494 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: were the six spots that don't have a first round 495 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: quarterback at one point or another. So the essence of 496 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 2: get yourself a franchise quarterback is everybody is trying, it's 497 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: just nobody is succeeding. But there's something else with the 498 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 2: quarterbacks that I think stood out to you, Jason Stewart 499 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 2: as well, when we're talking about quarterback play. 500 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 5: We can fact check this, but I had heard that 501 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 5: half of the quarterbacks in this field are not on 502 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 5: their second contract. In other words, was it seven of 503 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 5: the fourteen quarterbacks are still on the rookie deal? 504 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 3: Does that sound right? 505 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 2: That makes well, that would make more of a stat 506 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 2: because we feel like or something that is at least 507 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: real instead of the other one considering we feel like 508 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: there is such an urgency to get stuff done before 509 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 2: you have to pay the quarterback and then you have 510 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: to make decisions after that. But Bo Nix is on 511 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 2: a first year deal, Drake May's on a first year deal, CJ. 512 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 2: Stroud is on a first year deal, Caleb Williams is 513 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 2: on a first year deal. So that's five. Bryce Young's 514 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 2: on a first year deal, and well brock Perty just 515 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: got his, so's it's it's near half if it isn't, 516 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: and maybe it looked at it wrong and just counted wrong, 517 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 2: but it's six or seven, and so it's half of 518 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: that is that is all? That is more factual than 519 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: saying you need to draft yourself a first round quarterback. 520 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: You know what stood out to me is there's been 521 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 2: this theme for super Bowls, I really think since the 522 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: beginning of the Super Bowl era. And there have been 523 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 2: a few outliers, one a couple of years ago, one 524 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: maybe in the eighties and nineties. But NFL teams and 525 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: wide receivers don't and star wide receivers don't equal success. 526 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 2: When you look at this fourteen team field, I would 527 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 2: say that there are two teams that have elite play 528 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 2: from the wide receiver position from one of their wide receivers. 529 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 8: Puka Nikua, yes, the Rams, and. 530 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: And there are two that I put borderline that I 531 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 2: would give you the benefit of the but I don't 532 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: think it changes my argument. That's yep. Those were the 533 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: top two that I put elite wide receiver. The other 534 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: two I put aj Brown maybe and Nico Collins maybe maybe, 535 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: but like it wouldn't rise to the level. And when 536 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: you look back in time, what team relied heavily on 537 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 2: their wide receiver Like I would say the Rams and 538 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: Cooper Cup is an exception when he ends up winning 539 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP and for what he meant to the 540 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 2: Rams and Jerry Rice during his time with the with 541 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers. But if you look throughout super 542 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 2: Bowl history could be okay, all right, that's that's fair. 543 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 2: But throughout history, and specifically recently in the NFL, it's 544 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 2: become such a passing league, it's become such a quarterback league, 545 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: but it has not become a wide receiver league. And 546 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: one of the main themes this year, right is how 547 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 2: much the Rams use thirteen personnel. How much the Rams 548 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: used this three tight ends on the field, and the 549 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 2: NFL doesn't know what to do with it. And this 550 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: is a team by the way, that has Phu Gonna 551 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 2: cool and about to Adams other squad. So it's just 552 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: funny to me when we were sitting there pointing out quarterbacks, 553 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 2: No quarterbacks aren't the story. Like once again, it's I 554 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: think from the wide receivers and the lack of I 555 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: guess relevance or connection to team's success when you. 556 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 3: Have an elite wide receiver. 557 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, the receiver thing has been overblown for a long time, 558 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 8: and the reason for that being dan in the regular season, 559 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 8: defenses aren't throwing the sink at the offenses right in 560 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 8: certain games, like you'll give a guy a one on 561 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 8: one opportunity if he's a star receiver and you've got 562 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 8: a guy that can cover him and during the season, 563 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 8: so that guy could have a good game in the 564 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 8: regular season. When it comes to the playoffs, we're throwing 565 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 8: the kitchen sink at you. You're not gonna beat us 566 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 8: with what you do best. So if you are a 567 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 8: star receiver in your quarterback that you know goes to 568 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 8: that guy a lot and he has great numbers, usually 569 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,239 Speaker 8: we're gonna account for that and so we're gonna take 570 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 8: that away. So if you're paying all this all these 571 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 8: resources and putting all your eggs in this basket, that 572 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 8: he's gonna come out and do what he did in 573 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 8: the regular season is not going to happen. So that's 574 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 8: why football is the ultimate team sport. And if you're 575 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 8: overpaying for those type of positions where obviously the quarterback 576 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 8: does matter and you have to take care of that. 577 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 8: We've seen it, and I've seen it playing up close 578 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 8: right me playing against those Brady teams in New England. 579 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 8: They never had a star receiver. They brought in Randy Mallsson. 580 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 8: What happened, they didn't win the Super Bowl, And so 581 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 8: those things go hand in hand. 582 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 2: What I think is interesting to your point though, is 583 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: is you're saying, like, in the playoffs, we throw everything 584 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: at them. So you're not going to see a wide 585 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 2: receiver with twelve catches and one hundred and eighty yards 586 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: and three touchdowns in the playoffs. 587 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: If you do, then you're you're a bad defense. Okay, yeah, 588 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 3: yeh yeah. 589 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: But we're also talking about this is all leading up to, 590 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: leading up to the playoffs. So even in those instances 591 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: where you're saying that maybe you're not throwing the kitchen sink, yeah, 592 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: and you're getting those opportunities, they're not translating to necessary 593 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 2: to victories necessarily or or to wins along the way. 594 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: When you talk about like the top wide receivers in 595 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: the National Football League or those that we think that are, 596 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: you know, the top of their game, I mean, we're 597 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: talking about the Jamar Chases and the Justin Jeffersons and 598 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: and those guys, and they're not in the playoffs this year, 599 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: and and honestly, you know, Justin Jefferson is in it 600 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: last year. But I think that you would see the 601 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: same sort of movement because jays Aan wasn't in their 602 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: last year and Jason wasn't the level of receiver that 603 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 2: he was this season. But I think that there's there's 604 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: just again a lot disconnect with wide receivers. Jason Stewart. 605 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, so the Pokinakua to Carrie's point here, Pokin Nakua 606 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 5: and JSN are both on the rookie deal, so they 607 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 5: are high level receivers but fairly cheap, right yea. And 608 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 5: while Dan was talking, I I I looked up the 609 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 5: top paid receivers in the NFL. It's just filled with 610 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 5: guys that aren't in the playoff playoffs. Yeah, I mean, 611 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 5: I can't believe the t Higg is a top ten 612 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 5: paid receiver and he's on the same day with Jamar Chase, 613 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 5: Ceedee Lamb, dk Metcalf only a Monroe Saint Brown is 614 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 5: a guy that is both on the list of most 615 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 5: paid and like most productive receiver in fantasy and he's 616 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: not in the playoffs yep. 617 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: And I think for a while on that list, on 618 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: the T Higgins is there the Dolphins for a while, 619 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 2: we're paying Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Hill yep, top ten 620 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: money and look at how far that got them. The 621 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: Cowboys are going to have to make a decision with 622 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: George Pickens yep, right on what you're gonna do with him. 623 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 2: So now so if Dallas does that, I think the 624 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: numbers that we show don't necessarily show playoff success. 625 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, so like. 626 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 2: There's yeah, there's a lot, a lot has changed in 627 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: the NFL and it has become quarterback heavy, but some 628 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 2: stuff has not changed, and it's the importance of the 629 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 2: wide receivers or maybe just lack thereof from that position. 630 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 2: From So when I see the when I see the teams, 631 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: I don't look at the quarterbacks. When there's twenty six 632 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: first st round quarterbacks starting in the in the NFL, 633 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: those numbers are are somewhat parallel to what the postseason is. 634 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: It's what we see from the wide receiver position. Even 635 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: like looking at the running backs, you look at the 636 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: running back value, I think there's more running back value 637 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: than we realize in this in this postseason because we 638 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: think it's an extinct position. And I know, say Kwon 639 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: Barkley didn't have a great year, but Christian McCaffrey did. 640 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: They're there, they're they're playing against each other. The Packers 641 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: have been riding the back of Josh Jacobs when he's 642 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: been healthy. I think the Bears success this year has 643 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 2: been the two headed monster of Swift and Manongai and 644 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 2: how they've turned things around. So even just the running 645 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 2: back in James Cook, right, James Cook ends up leading 646 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: the NFL and rushing and all we talk about the 647 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 2: Bills is Josh Allen And that's the thing, and that's 648 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: why Dan it's such an ultimate team sport man. And 649 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 2: when you when you think about divas and you think 650 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 2: about people demanding certain numbers, obviously that's when they're that's 651 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 2: within their right. And obviously, especially coming off off your 652 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 2: first off your rookie contract, those guys are trying to 653 00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 2: get paid. 654 00:31:58,960 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: And that's what it is. 655 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 8: But I think it the onus falls on the teams 656 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 8: and organizations and saying this is our this is our 657 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 8: philosophy to win, not our philosophy to overpay and I 658 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 8: think you know, just because relationships are formed and you 659 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 8: have an affinity for you know, certain players and they 660 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 8: are good players.

Iowa Sam, 676 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: a technical producer with The Ones and Twos. Executive producer 677 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 2: is Jason Stewart. Jason pointing out Carry, It's taken a 678 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 2: while for Travis Kelcey to maybe make up his mind. 679 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 2: It's probably been on his mind a while on what's next, 680 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 2: but still no decision from the Chiefs tod end Jason. 681 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 5: So they asked him after the game on Sunday that 682 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 5: was in the news cycle. Then they asked Andy Reid 683 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 5: about it on Monday that was in the cycle. So yesterday, 684 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 5: of course, he had to go on his podcast and 685 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 5: he said this about it. 686 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 4: If my body can heal up and rest up and 687 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 4: I can feel confident that I can go out there 688 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 4: and give it another eighteen twenty twenty one week run, 689 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 4: I think I would do it in a heartbeat. I 690 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 4: think right now it's just finding that answer and seeing 691 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 4: how the body feels after this game and kind of win. 692 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 4: It all settles. 693 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,479 Speaker 5: Down now, Kerry. The conversation in this talk space seems 694 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 5: to be like one sided. It's like Travis Kelcey's got 695 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 5: eight figures waiting for him on TV if he leaves, Like, 696 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 5: why would you come back to a Chiefs team that's 697 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,879 Speaker 5: without its quarterback and looks like it's run is over? 698 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 5: Like why would you come back? 699 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 700 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 5: And you are uniquely qualified to answer this question. I 701 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 5: want to know if Travis Kelcey were to come to 702 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 5: you and be like Carrie, like, I don't care about 703 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 5: the money thing. Those opportunities are going to be here. 704 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 5: But like mentally, chemically, physically, what is in store for 705 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 5: me if I were to retire? What happens to football 706 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 5: players when they give it up? When you give it up, 707 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 5: the identity is gone. 708 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 8: So you've been touted as this special person, this special 709 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 8: kid for a long time. You've achieved all these accolades, 710 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 8: You've gotten all these pats on the back for your 711 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 8: whole life, and once that window closes of that, that 712 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 8: next phase is the hardest phase you're ever going to 713 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 8: go through in your life. I was somebody that knew 714 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 8: what I wanted to do after and I did not 715 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 8: want to overstay my welcome in the NFL at all. 716 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,439 Speaker 8: And I could have come back and played a couple 717 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 8: more years. I made the decision not to. And when 718 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 8: I sat on the couch and I turned on the 719 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 8: TV and try to watch a game the first year 720 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 8: I was done, all I did was look at the 721 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 8: guys and say I should be playing because they are terrible. 722 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 8: Like I started to look at the guys and say, no, 723 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 8: I could I could definitely do that. And so that 724 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 8: first year was there was depression. It was a real thing, 725 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 8: and I had things that were already lined up. And 726 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 8: so once that identity is gone and you're just considered 727 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 8: Travis kelce Carrie Rose, the former football player and you're 728 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 8: trying to shake that, it was al wad be the 729 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 8: hardest times you're going to go through as a as 730 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 8: a human, especially having success so early on in your 731 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 8: in your life as a football player. 732 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: Does as do they get to reality because most people 733 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 2: who watch the Jets or Cardinals are in a depression right. 734 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 3: Like when you're watching, Yes, you're watching watch that. Maybe 735 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 3: I shouldn't have made a joke. There was just shot 736 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 3: on a plan. 737 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 2: The thing that I think about Travis Kelcey, which I 738 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 2: commend you for or is it sure feels like Travis 739 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 2: Kelcey is trying to find the perfect time to retire 740 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,239 Speaker 2: and I don't think that there is. And so there's 741 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 2: something left to prove after the Super Bowl that you lost, 742 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 2: or there's something to prove after a season where Mahomes 743 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 2: got hurt and maybe you weren't utilized as much, or 744 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 2: you didn't make the playoffs, if you really wanted to 745 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 2: find the perfect time. It was probably two years ago 746 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 2: after you went back to back that probably would have 747 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 2: been the perfect time if you want to put a 748 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: bow on your football career. I also think there's this 749 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: happy medium, like the Chiefs are going to have to 750 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 2: know at some point what Travis Kelce's intentions are, but 751 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 2: it's not going to be seventy two hours after the 752 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 2: final game of the season. It's gonna come at some 753 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 2: point between now and obviously they need to know by 754 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: early March, but who knows. This may be a Super 755 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 2: Bowl off week sort of announcement, So then you hit 756 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 2: radio row and make those announcements. But to Carry's port, 757 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 2: I think the feeling that Travis Kelce has now from 758 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 2: July and August and September, it's going to be a 759 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 2: different feeling. And so no matter what, you may end 760 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: up regretting whatever this is and you have to. 761 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 8: Make yeah, and the regret is real, but not for me. 762 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,759 Speaker 8: Like I said, there there is a there is a 763 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 8: safe space to land, but there's gonna be some hard 764 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 8: times in you. 765 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 2: He is Kerry Rhodes, I'm Dan Bayer, Jason Stewart, Christ 766 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 2: Prophet and Iowa Sam hanging out with a with us 767 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio.
