Speaker 3: Well, I'm a big Halloween guy.
Speaker 4: Oh, Like, Halloween is one of my personal favorite holidays. Right,
Speaker 4: It'll makes sense because it's actually not for kids anymore,
Speaker 4: Like nobody, like as a person that has kids, I
Speaker 4: don't take my kids trick or treating.
Speaker 3: I go buy them candy. They eat it.
Speaker 4: Like it's not like we used to do it in
Speaker 4: the nineties. All right, It's just totally not.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have to say I've gotten dressed up
Speaker 1: every year for like the last ten years.
Speaker 2: I've been fred Snow for the last five years.
Speaker 4: So this I enjoyed the holiday like it's genuinely one
Speaker 4: of those days where thirty days.
Speaker 3: Out, I'm preparing for it. Like I'm preparing for it.
Speaker 4: I have to get my I had to get my outfit,
Speaker 4: I had to get everything going, so I'm ready for
Speaker 4: the weekend.
Speaker 2: Not just to day. Yeah, for the weekend.
Speaker 1: Well, it felt like a holiday when we got the
Speaker 1: announcement that we're very close to having the commanders return
Speaker 1: to DC at the RFK stadium side.
Speaker 2: Now again it has to be approved by the DC
Speaker 2: City Council.
Speaker 3: So they got to approve the.
Speaker 2: Just part of it.
Speaker 1: But when we heard the announcement and you watch the
Speaker 1: press conference, we're gona talk to Bram Weinstein here in
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes and get his thoughts on it,
Speaker 1: because he was there and being the MC.
Speaker 2: If you will, what did you think?
Speaker 3: I loved it? I loved it.
Speaker 4: I wish I had I wish it was in my
Speaker 4: playing window that I got to go back to RK.
Speaker 3: But it just it's it works, it fits.
Speaker 2: It just feels right.
Speaker 4: It feels right because I was always one of them people.
Speaker 4: I'm like, we are the Washington football team. I stay
Speaker 4: in Virginia, I play in Maryland. I don't do anything
Speaker 4: in Washington side go out, all right, So for it
Speaker 4: to be back at the Melica and just just look
Speaker 4: at what the net stadium has done for the water
Speaker 4: huge it is that created his own.
Speaker 3: Little pocket over there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so when you put this stadium here, not only
Speaker 4: are you getting another waterfront, it's another business district. Like,
Speaker 4: So it works, it's supposed to be there, It's it's
Speaker 4: a natural fit. Right, I'm gonna say, Jinx, it's a
Speaker 4: natural fit. And you're talking about the super Bowl in
Speaker 4: the Nation's Capitol, talking about the Draft in the Nation's Capitol.
Speaker 3: You're talking about.
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift concert with Travis Kelsey there in the Nation's Capitol.
Speaker 4: Like it just works it, Make it happen, Make it
Speaker 4: happen DC.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's I think it's important to point out because,
Speaker 1: like as you said, if you didn't see Navy Yard
Speaker 1: before where it is now, you wouldn't recognize it, you know.
Speaker 2: Kelly Johnson, Right, yeah, So Kelly and I are Ty.
Speaker 2: We go back a long way. I mean, she covered
Speaker 2: the team for a long time, one of the best
Speaker 2: ever do it.
Speaker 1: So she came to visit last year and she lives
Speaker 1: out west now, and so we were Navy Yard and
Speaker 1: she was like.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: She's like, this is Navy Yard.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like yeah, She's like wow. And she was
Speaker 2: in the district for a long time because it.
Speaker 4: Looked like an odd spiel before it got over there.
Speaker 4: If you really want to know what it looked like,
Speaker 4: it was a odd spill over there, right, That's what
Speaker 4: it was. Now is vibrant now it's condos there where,
Speaker 4: it's restaurants everywhere, it's it's two stadiums not one. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you got about body feel is over also, so it
Speaker 4: just recreated a whole business district. And I think this
Speaker 4: was happening if they put the stadium back there.
Speaker 1: So let's get some perspective on this and bring in
Speaker 1: the voice the Commanders. Of course, at a Bram Weinstein,
Speaker 1: and he was there on Monday for the big announcement,
Speaker 1: So we got to talk about this and bring in
Speaker 1: the voice the Washington Commanders, Bram Weinstein. Bram, always good
Speaker 1: to see you, even during the off season, but this
Speaker 1: is especially exciting, not only because you're here, but also
Speaker 1: because now we are very close to the Commander's returning
Speaker 1: to d C. Still needs to be approved by the
Speaker 1: DC City Council. But before we go into some of
Speaker 1: the particulars, I know you have some very personal memories,
Speaker 1: some very vivid memories of your time there. Can you
Speaker 1: take us back just a little bit and kind of
Speaker 1: give us a little scene setter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was such a full circle thing, and I'm
Speaker 5: just so you know, privileged that they gave me a
Speaker 5: role in a moment like that. I mean, it's historic
Speaker 5: for the city, for the region, you know, obviously for
Speaker 5: the team as well. And I'm with you, like, nothing's
Speaker 5: done here, So hopefully this will this will get past.
Speaker 5: But we'll let the city council and the mayor and
Speaker 5: you know, the government officials do their work with the
Speaker 5: team and hopefully this becomes a reality and that we're
Speaker 5: we're calling games in five years at o RFK Stadium.
Speaker 5: But you know, I grew up here. I went to
Speaker 5: RFK as a kid. I fell in love with the team.
Speaker 5: You know, that place was part you know, football stadium,
Speaker 5: part church.
Speaker 6: Really.
Speaker 5: You know, I think for a lot of us it
Speaker 5: was a religious experience going to games there. And obviously
Speaker 5: it didn't hurt that the team was a dynasty, you know,
Speaker 5: throughout the eighties and nineties, and you know that was
Speaker 5: I've had a lot of really cool moments with the
Speaker 5: position that I have.
Speaker 6: I got to call a Hail Mary. Last year.
Speaker 5: You know, we got we had a twelve and five season,
Speaker 5: they went to the NFC Championship Game. All these things
Speaker 5: I'll never take for granted. It's been a magical year,
Speaker 5: but that that thing on Monday is going to stand
Speaker 5: out for me. For the rest of my life. I mean,
Speaker 5: it was a historic moment for the entire region and
Speaker 5: it was just it was incredible to be privileged to
Speaker 5: have any role in it at all.
Speaker 1: How huge will this be potentially for the city? We
Speaker 1: sort of have proof of concept, I feel like with
Speaker 1: National's part. No, it's a different franchise, but you're talking
Speaker 1: about the revitalization of an entire area in Washington, d C.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, in some places, you know,
Speaker 5: the stadiums could become anchors, and I think in our
Speaker 5: city it has in two different locations. You know, when
Speaker 5: a Poland moved the Wizards and the Capitals to downtown Washington,
Speaker 5: d C. It completely revitalized the Chinatown area of the district.
Speaker 5: And I know, you know, not to talk about, you know,
Speaker 5: Ted Leeltison what he wanted to try to do, you know,
Speaker 5: recently with a potential move, but I think part of
Speaker 5: that was he wanted to see the revitalization.
Speaker 6: Continue and it be an anchor.
Speaker 5: But for a very long period of time, it totally
Speaker 5: changed that part of the city. Nationals Park Outyfield has
Speaker 5: totally revitalized and anchored a part of the city where
Speaker 5: you know, I grew up here my entire life, Janks like,
Speaker 5: we didn't go to the Navy Yard like no one ever.
Speaker 5: There's never a reason to frequent it or be down there.
Speaker 5: And it's anchored that part of that city. It's become
Speaker 5: a hub where young people live. It's a growth, you know,
Speaker 5: part of the city. And I think the state think
Speaker 5: it happened here with the RFK stadium site. They've had
Speaker 5: two proof of concepts for it. Obviously, a large portion
Speaker 5: of this will be a stadium, but there are parts
Speaker 5: of this deal where a lot of pieces of this
Speaker 5: land need to be developed differently. I think for the
Speaker 5: investment to work for all sides, that it can't just
Speaker 5: be a stadium, and I think they're being cognizant about
Speaker 5: all of that, and so, you know, I believe this is,
Speaker 5: you know, the right thing obviously to say it here.
Speaker 5: It's the right thing for them, for everybody to do this,
Speaker 5: and I hope that it does go through. I think
Speaker 5: it's it's a perfect place for the stadium to be,
Speaker 5: you know, karmically historically, it's hallowed ground. It feels like home,
Speaker 5: So I think, I know, I think I speak for
Speaker 5: the region and if you just ask Commanders, fans, where
Speaker 5: do you want it to be?
Speaker 6: It is there, you know, so I think everything kind
Speaker 6: of checks off the boxes.
Speaker 5: And what will happen with the revitalization as far as
Speaker 5: how the city, you know, reacts to it, I don't know,
Speaker 5: but we do have two prime examples of sports stadiums
Speaker 5: in this town being anchors for economic activity and that
Speaker 5: economic growth.
Speaker 1: So you said, this is a full circle moment, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure what reinforced that was seeing all these franchise
Speaker 1: legends there at the same time, everyone on the same
Speaker 1: page saying this is where the study belongs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was really cool. I mean, you know, we
Speaker 5: had legends there. Rigo was there, Darryl Green was there,
Speaker 5: Doug Williams was there, Joe Gibbs was there. I thought
Speaker 5: it was really fitting that here's Joe Gibbs sitting next
Speaker 5: to Dan Quinn, you know, like almost like a true
Speaker 5: passing of the torch, like the glory days of this
Speaker 5: franchise in the stadium that was beloved by the region,
Speaker 5: and they're sitting next to each other. And the last
Speaker 5: time that Washington had a season like the one that
Speaker 5: they had a year ago is when Joe Gibbs was
Speaker 5: coaching them back in nineteen ninety one, so it felt
Speaker 5: very fitting to be part of that. I you know,
Speaker 5: you never know, like it's a press conference, so you
Speaker 5: don't know what the reaction is going to be, but
Speaker 5: like that was raucous in there. You could, like the
Speaker 5: genuine emotion of this announcement being made was really truly breathtaking.
Speaker 6: And again, I just you know, I was just.
Speaker 5: So happy and really you know, honored that they asked
Speaker 5: me to have a role in that, because for me,
Speaker 5: I'll just never forget that for the rest of my life.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: I love this franchise, I love the position I'm in
Speaker 5: with it. I'll never take it for granted. And that
Speaker 5: moment just to have any role or part of that,
Speaker 5: really it's truly, it's really really amazing.
Speaker 1: And potentially we're talking about, which is hard to believe
Speaker 1: I'm saying this, we're talking about maybe down the line
Speaker 1: even as Super Bowl being here in the district of Columbia,
Speaker 1: but yeah, have the infrastructure, we have the stadium for
Speaker 1: and that's something that I hadn't even thought about until recently,
Speaker 1: but that's a real possibility.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5: I mean, the stadium is it's going to have a
Speaker 5: roof on it, like clearly, you know, I know I
Speaker 5: saw some of the renderings, and you know, I was told,
Speaker 5: you know, these are not final renderings.
Speaker 6: This is just concept design.
Speaker 5: A couple of the elements to me, are like I think,
Speaker 5: are keepers, like a viewpoint from inside the stadium to
Speaker 5: the monuments or the capitol buildings. Seemed like an obvious
Speaker 5: thing to do putting a roof on it. I listen,
Speaker 5: I'm an old school I love the elements. You know,
Speaker 5: I love that too. But for this to work for
Speaker 5: everybody in the modern NFL and really in modern entertainment,
Speaker 5: this needs to be a facility that could be used
Speaker 5: three hundred and sixty five days a year and to
Speaker 5: have the type of events three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 5: days a year, they're going to have to put a
Speaker 5: roof on it. Otherwise you render a building like that unusable.
Speaker 5: For if the Tailor Swift Aerostour concert's going to come around,
Speaker 5: it's gonna be very difficult to hold it there in
Speaker 5: January or February. I think, you know, there's a lot
Speaker 5: of there's a lot of potential use cases here in
Speaker 5: major tours and entertainment and all sorts of things, and
Speaker 5: a roof is just going to be necessary unfortunately. You know,
Speaker 5: I love elements, but you know, from what I saw,
Speaker 5: you know, it looks like you know, I think it's
Speaker 5: everything you could ask for it. It's going to be
Speaker 5: a modern build whatever it ends up looking like. And
Speaker 5: I'm very excited to see what a final design would
Speaker 5: look like if this does actually go forward.
Speaker 2: Why'd you got the aras Turin? I know analy likes that.
Speaker 1: But before we let you go, just I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: thought about it. It's a few years away, but time
Speaker 1: moves quickly. Have you thought about actually calling a game
Speaker 1: there at the RFK side here in what twenty thirty?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's going to be very emotional for everybody.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like you're going home. This has been
Speaker 5: a long, long, long winding road to go home.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: When I've talked to you know, all of the people
Speaker 5: who are watching this, and like they know the history
Speaker 5: of why why RFK became blight, It's because the federal
Speaker 5: government was under control.
Speaker 6: Of the land.
Speaker 5: This wasn't up to the DC City Council to choose
Speaker 5: what they wanted to do with this land. Tract, and
Speaker 5: it just had been held up in red tape for
Speaker 5: a very long time. So like when I tell people,
Speaker 5: you know, there's a reason why this happened like this,
Speaker 5: but there was a natural let's go back there feeling.
Speaker 5: I think amongst the fan base for a very long
Speaker 5: time that it was a really long, long, long winding
Speaker 5: road to get back to this point. It would be
Speaker 5: incredible to call a game there. And to your point
Speaker 5: about the super Bowl too, I have a hard time
Speaker 5: believing Washington's not getting a super Bowl if they do
Speaker 5: put a roof on a stadium. I mean, Roger Goodell didn't.
Speaker 5: He didn't say that would happen. He can't say that's
Speaker 5: going to happen. But this is a pet project for
Speaker 5: him too, and I think the way he put it
Speaker 5: was their application looks a lot different with a new
Speaker 5: stadium here. So I'm hoping we get the draft on
Speaker 5: the National Mall. I'm hoping we get a super Bowl here,
Speaker 5: and I hope we start to kind of, you know,
Speaker 5: take in some of the major prime calendar events and
Speaker 5: then who knows.
Speaker 6: I mean, with the team that they.
Speaker 5: Have, the quarterback, that they have, the culture that's being
Speaker 5: built and all the good vibes around the city, the
Speaker 5: region rallying. It's showing support by like wanting to bring
Speaker 5: them home and wanting to have a stadium. You can
Speaker 5: feel the support around the region. You know, I hope
Speaker 5: we're going to be winning big and maybe even winning
Speaker 5: bigger than they did a year ago in the very
Speaker 5: near future.
Speaker 2: It seems like the perfect time for it.
Speaker 1: It's all coming together. He's ran Weinstein voice and the commanders.
Speaker 1: We appreciated brand Thank you. See Jackson so Bram was
Speaker 1: there and you can just tell that he sort of
Speaker 1: mirrors the excitement they were all feeling with that potential returning.
Speaker 1: We're really close, so excited about it happening. And on
Speaker 1: top of all that, had a great draft. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were in Navy Yard, Yeah, cover the draft and there
Speaker 1: were a lot of different That was a good time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had a lot of great fans and at the time, Josh.
Speaker 2: Connery isn't where we thought the team was going to go.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you, the more you get to watch
Speaker 1: this guy, the more you listen to them, the more
Speaker 1: you realize exactly why AP made this pack.
Speaker 3: Well, it's reinforcement.
Speaker 4: Reinforce what first of all, it's protecting asset. JD five
Speaker 4: is the asset to protect, and why are you protecting
Speaker 4: his asset? You might want to solidify what I call
Speaker 4: the wild Boards, the new version of the wild Hawks.
Speaker 4: You want to make sure. And when I went through
Speaker 4: and looked at position by position, almost four out of
Speaker 4: the five positions are pro bowlers, right, Lad Thomson pro bowler,
Speaker 4: Tyler b ODI's pro bowler, Coleman moving to guard.
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a pro bowler.
Speaker 4: And you got to realize, Sam Cosmi said, already solidified
Speaker 4: himself as a pro bowler.
Speaker 3: So now you.
Speaker 4: Are protecting the asset and JD five back there, and
Speaker 4: then you look at all the things that the teams
Speaker 4: in the division did I do a card A sexy
Speaker 4: DEXI Trippado, that's New York. You know what we got
Speaker 4: in Jayden Carr, I mean Jayden Carter with the with
Speaker 4: the Eagles. Yeah, then you got to realize they call
Speaker 4: for reinforcements in Dallas that has had a very good draft.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna knock it. We had a very good draft.
Speaker 4: So when you look at what we did, we just
Speaker 4: kinter acted what they was doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, haven't We said with the Eagles that one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why they've been so good is that
Speaker 1: they win in the trenches. They're good on both lines
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, and so you cannot go wrong, especially when
Speaker 1: you have to face a team like that twice twice.
Speaker 4: And that's what we did. We went, we went, all right,
Speaker 4: this is the apple cart. We got you, no problem.
Speaker 4: That's what you want to do. You want to be sized.
Speaker 4: We can do size. And that's why I challenge everybody
Speaker 4: to go out here and watch their fielm of Connolly
Speaker 4: versus Abdua card Or while they was in college.
Speaker 3: Because he man handled, Yes he did.
Speaker 4: He man handled him and taught him a lesson and
Speaker 4: gave him blessings, all right, So you got to love that.
Speaker 4: So I thought it was very smart by the brain trust,
Speaker 4: very smart by Adam Peters to make sure you show
Speaker 4: up your offensive line.
Speaker 1: I forget what I was watching, but it was someone
Speaker 1: who was giving some insight on Connolly as a person.
Speaker 1: And he wants to know, which I love guys like this,
Speaker 1: so where he doesn't just want to know his position,
Speaker 1: he wants to know about the entire offense. He wants
Speaker 1: to soak everything in because like that, he's a football savant.
Speaker 1: It's not just me, like I want to know what
Speaker 1: this guy's doing, what this guy's doing, what this guy's doing,
Speaker 1: And when you have a guy like that who lives
Speaker 1: and eats and sleeps football, that's just gonna help you.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 4: When I heard that about him, it almost made me
Speaker 4: so happy that I stopped thinking about the fact that
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter rent number two, and now Shun Springs is
Speaker 4: not the highest drafted cornerback of all time. He won't
Speaker 4: answer my phone. I've been calling him.
Speaker 2: He knows what's coming.
Speaker 3: Yes, he's been three d throwed it. He don't want
Speaker 3: to talk about it.
Speaker 4: But to hear that this kid is a savant like that,
Speaker 4: because I was like that, I want to know what
Speaker 4: everybody doing because now I can really figure out my
Speaker 4: game playing inside of your defensive call if I know
Speaker 4: what everybody doing and where everybody should be. So this
Speaker 4: telling me he has a higher level, and that what
Speaker 4: makes him a commander. Pick that's what it means to
Speaker 4: be a commander.
Speaker 2: I saw something just sort of related but not really.
Speaker 1: It was an whatever you with Tom Brady was a
Speaker 1: couple months ago and he was talking about studying the game,
Speaker 1: and he was saying that when he would go to
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, how all the work for a
Speaker 1: quarterback is done before you throw the ball.
Speaker 2: And he was saying something.
Speaker 1: Like, I'll look at that safety and because he moved
Speaker 1: his arm this way, I know he's about to go
Speaker 1: here and this is the coverage, and I thought.
Speaker 2: That is while to do that much study. No, we
Speaker 2: are trying to hold it as long as possible.
Speaker 4: I know, I know people remember this, they remember paying
Speaker 4: many one thing they used to do at the coast,
Speaker 4: get out the huddle fast. Yeah, he wants to he
Speaker 4: wants to bleed the clock and we are trying to
Speaker 4: hold these coverages.
Speaker 3: We're not trying to do it. And he'll just go
Speaker 3: through the cadence.
Speaker 4: Oh maha, omaha, whatever, blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: He's trying to get us to show just a tad bit.
Speaker 4: If those safeties rock and roll and that scrong safety
Speaker 4: moves down, he automatziced though we're in a single high coverage.
Speaker 4: If they try to hold the shell long enough to
Speaker 4: hold that cover two. Now, he's like, but we could
Speaker 4: be in cover four. We could be in cover six.
Speaker 4: So it's this constant battle and that's why we have
Speaker 4: to have a captain like London Fletcher. This is going
Speaker 4: to go head to head with that quarterback on changing coverage.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So the one thing Tom.
Speaker 4: Is Verius was always good about is I'm going to
Speaker 4: undress you so I know where to go before I
Speaker 4: say hike.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you draft a young guy who wants to
Speaker 1: know nuance like that, man, that's huge because those little
Speaker 1: understandings sometimes give you the edge.
Speaker 3: It gives you the edge. It's simple.
Speaker 4: Like me as a cornerback, my view of the game
Speaker 4: is lateral. It's not vertal vertical, so I'm looking through
Speaker 4: the tackle to the quarterback. The one thing I used
Speaker 4: to always get my past keys from is the tackle
Speaker 4: light on his fingers, because if he's heavy on his fingers,
Speaker 4: they mean he's finna go forward the run block. If
Speaker 4: he's light on his fingers, they mean he's gonna go
Speaker 4: back to pass block. So now I knew, all right,
Speaker 4: it's a pass play. So I now I already know
Speaker 4: I ain't finna play the run. I'm finna play the past.
Speaker 4: And I got my key from the tackle.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 2: I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I also love and there was some talk that
Speaker 1: maybe the Commanders might trade back, but they didn't want
Speaker 1: to because they saw the value of the Skuy I
Speaker 1: know what the Old Miss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this guy's a player.
Speaker 4: He might be the best second round draft pick since
Speaker 4: Fred Smooth. Very similar, very similar Bodybill. He has great
Speaker 4: ball skills. He's loan he is and that's what you want. Like,
Speaker 4: that's what you want. And I like guys that been
Speaker 4: through a little something.
Speaker 3: This guy played himself up.
Speaker 4: He started as a raging cagun shout out the old
Speaker 4: b Mitch ballhead. He started as a raising cage and
Speaker 4: played his way to Alabama. I transferred from Alabama to
Speaker 4: Old Miss. So that means this ride he had went smooth.
Speaker 4: It was bumpy.
Speaker 2: I heard it.
Speaker 4: Everybody that we draft earned it. That's what I like
Speaker 4: about the guys that we draft. They would None of
Speaker 4: them really came out as five star ath least they
Speaker 4: became five star after, but they didn't come out like that.
Speaker 3: And I enjoy guys.
Speaker 4: They have to go through some some up and downs
Speaker 4: before they get to where they want to be at
Speaker 4: the SEC.
Speaker 1: In past breakups last season then around four kind of
Speaker 1: a local guy in Jalen Lane. You talk about a
Speaker 1: guy who's earned his way to where he is. Yes,
Speaker 1: he is a speechter's gonna work well in the slot,
Speaker 1: but he had to earn his spot too.
Speaker 3: And he's stick.
Speaker 4: He has a bill to him, all right, and he's
Speaker 4: fearless when it comes to punt return. And he's what
Speaker 4: we call to take the top off the defense guy.
Speaker 4: He's the guy that's going to go vertical and he's
Speaker 4: gonna go vertical the rest of his life. Like that
Speaker 4: just the way it is. And to find this guy
Speaker 4: in your backyard, you understand what he brings to the table.
Speaker 4: And when I look at Terry and I look at
Speaker 4: Debo and I look at McCaffrey, this guy is different.
Speaker 2: Like he has a gear, great compliment.
Speaker 4: Great compliment, And that's what you want when you want
Speaker 4: to get a mixture of a room. Like I don't
Speaker 4: want to have fire receivers and all these guys do
Speaker 4: the same thing.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, I want diversity in his room.
Speaker 4: He brings diversity, and he brings another gear to your
Speaker 4: return game. And people don't underst Me and Santana talk
Speaker 4: all the time. Stanna say when his best special team
Speaker 4: coaches always told him, get me two first downs when
Speaker 4: you return. That means can you get me twenty yards?
Speaker 4: Can you get me twenty yards on return? This is
Speaker 4: a guy that can make that happen.
Speaker 1: I know we say this every year, but you really
Speaker 1: can we do You can't. You can't overstate how important
Speaker 1: it is for some of these young guys to also
Speaker 1: be able to contribute on specialties.
Speaker 3: And he is definitely one of the first of all
Speaker 3: young guys.
Speaker 4: Special team is how you're gonna get on the field,
Speaker 4: Like if you can make your mark, if you want
Speaker 4: to know when you're gonna start at your first starting
Speaker 4: job is special team. Now, if you happen to get
Speaker 4: into rotation on offensive defense, so be it. If you
Speaker 4: got the skill set the store from day one, so
Speaker 4: be it. But you're still gonna play special team. That's
Speaker 4: the biggest rule of raking in to high draft.
Speaker 3: The guys.
Speaker 4: You're still gonna play special team. Like they gonna tell
Speaker 4: you choose too, all right. They gonna tell you choose
Speaker 4: two special teams when you get here. That's part of it.
Speaker 4: And the faster you embrace it, the better you're gonna
Speaker 4: be at it.
Speaker 1: Round six, came Adrano, fastest linebacker the combine.
Speaker 4: Listen to me his athletic prow which jumps off if
Speaker 4: you watch this dude for him. He has a play
Speaker 4: where he's blitzing from the left. On the run blitz,
Speaker 4: they throw a quick screen to the right. This guy
Speaker 4: flashed across the screen. I don't know if he's gonna
Speaker 4: play safety. I don't know if we're gonna play linebacker.
Speaker 2: He's built like a strong safe.
Speaker 3: That's what type of athlete he is.
Speaker 4: Like you're talking about his steal the last two draft
Speaker 4: picks that we had, and usually people throw flyers in
Speaker 4: the sixth and seven.
Speaker 3: Let's just see what you got.
Speaker 4: Like I thought we were gonna get the Tusch push
Speaker 4: stopper from Florida four hundred and twenty pounds, but he's trying.
Speaker 2: To lose weight up and say he's gonna have to
Speaker 2: do something.
Speaker 4: But to get these guys with this athletic profile, like
Speaker 4: this guy could be a legit starter for you, and
Speaker 4: you fire him in the sixth round like this, that's different.
Speaker 4: Like that's telling me they want every blade of grass,
Speaker 4: they want every pick to count, right, Ma, Drmo, it's
Speaker 4: one of them picks. When I seen him get picked
Speaker 4: out was like, Wow, I couldn't believe he last to
Speaker 4: the sixth round, Like I just couldn't. Maybe people want
Speaker 4: him to be a tad bit more physical. I think
Speaker 4: that has to do with.
Speaker 3: Your team as a whole.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you want to talk about bang for your buck,
Speaker 4: you want to talk about winning the draft in the
Speaker 4: sixth and seventh round, this is how you get it done.
Speaker 2: He's also a team captain and that's something we've seen
Speaker 2: that this team has really emphasized in the draft and
Speaker 2: other areas, which is we want leaders.
Speaker 4: We want leaders of men, We want men that know.
Speaker 4: We want accountability.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If I could say one word that they brought into
Speaker 4: this building, it's accountability and they want it from each
Speaker 4: and every player, not some. And they're showing you that
Speaker 4: you're only as good as the fifty third person on
Speaker 4: the roster. But we want our fifty third person on
Speaker 4: the roster to be starting caliber and that's what we want.
Speaker 1: Finally, the seventh round, your Corey krossky Merritt out of
Speaker 1: Arizona only played one game last year because of eligibility issues.
Speaker 1: But if you go by a couple of seasons. He
Speaker 1: plays bigger than he is. Yes, and he's a great compliment.
Speaker 1: We keep talking about that because it's one cut and
Speaker 1: go for this.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, he gonna get downhill and he's faster than
Speaker 4: you think. And the tread on those tires afresh how
Speaker 4: you get you know, how you get fresh set at
Speaker 4: four tires and he like, you know what, I might
Speaker 4: drive to Alaska today, you know, because I got the
Speaker 4: tread on him. Like with this guy didn't play last year.
Speaker 4: Think about this, jinx. He played one game last year.
Speaker 4: Then he goes and plays in the All Star Game
Speaker 4: and gets the MVP.
Speaker 3: Yeah, meaning I ain't get.
Speaker 4: The rips y'all had, right, I just showed up ringing
Speaker 4: the ball and got MVP. The guy is ready to
Speaker 4: play like that what I said. We got steals in
Speaker 4: the six in the SIMP. He wasn't even on my
Speaker 4: board because I forgot he was there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then at the Shrine game, Yeah.
Speaker 4: I say he was not on my board because I forgot.
Speaker 4: The guy was not there because he didn't play. And
Speaker 4: to get a guy like this, sky's the limits.
Speaker 1: And of course there's gonna be all sorts of undrafted
Speaker 1: free agency mini camp invites and one goes to Gabe Taylor,
Speaker 1: which is regardless of how that works out, your stuff
Speaker 1: to earn your place on the team.
Speaker 2: It's a nice story too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is just so in the right thing, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: And let's see what Gabe can bring to the table.
Speaker 4: Because I talked to Gabe all the time, and Gabe,
Speaker 4: he had one destination on his mind, and this was here.
Speaker 4: He wanted to come here. He wanted to play in
Speaker 4: his brother's shoes. He wanted to have his brother old locker.
Speaker 4: He wanted to pick up where the old man left off,
Speaker 4: like he understood the mission. And for him to be
Speaker 4: to live that dream, no matter how short, how long
Speaker 4: it is for them to make that dream come true,
Speaker 4: says everything to me. Where we are at as a franchise,
Speaker 4: like when it's ran right from the top the bottom,
Speaker 4: ain't no worries right now. So to bring him in
Speaker 4: and to give him a chance to make this team,
Speaker 4: to give him a chance to make this roster is everything.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Pete Taylor, who I talked to Pete
Speaker 4: all the time, enjoy the fact that.
Speaker 2: Washington's family for the Taylor family.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's for Jackie Baby's family and.
Speaker 3: This is what we want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fans understand that.
Speaker 1: I know you understand that, and certainly the people the
Speaker 1: top understand that as well.
Speaker 2: Ye, so voicemails. Now, Anna is here. If you're wondering,
Speaker 2: we're not keeping her off camera.
Speaker 8: I'm here.
Speaker 2: She's here, She's ready to go.

Speaker 1: two six seven one nine.
Speaker 6: Anna.
Speaker 3: What do we have?
Speaker 8: All right, Well, we have one voicemail we'll get to
Speaker 8: for this little Voice Bowl segment. But I was going
Speaker 8: to say, if you guys have any specific well words,
Speaker 8: if you have any specific players, you guys want us
Speaker 8: to do a deep dive in throughout this Ota rookie
Speaker 8: mini camp period, like let us know, leave us a voicemail,
Speaker 8: drop it in the comments. That way, we can work
Speaker 8: on bringing Beat reporters from their schools in. We we
Speaker 8: want to talk about these guys, So be sure to
Speaker 8: request who you want to hear about because we want
Speaker 8: to talk about them on the show. Let me bring
Speaker 8: in the first call.
Speaker 7: Yeah, my name is Craig The Newport News. Danielle was
Speaker 7: born in nineteen sixty before. I was a rich scan
Speaker 7: out of the womb because my mom graduated with Chris
Speaker 7: Hamburg Hamptonized School, And I'm just people to death of
Speaker 7: that Washington's doing right now? Does anyone but me believe
Speaker 7: that we're gonna be contenders for the next decade? Thank you?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we here to stay. This is not fake.
Speaker 4: This was not a flash in the pan. Listen to me,
Speaker 4: and listen to me.
Speaker 3: Softly.
Speaker 4: Here, as a guy that played a decade in the league,
Speaker 4: I realized something.
Speaker 3: I have been on a part of great.
Speaker 4: Teams in great rosters, and we were missing one key piece,
Speaker 4: and that was the quarterback. And we always ended up
Speaker 4: eight and eight, nine and seven, just barely getting there.
Speaker 4: When you have a quarterback, not only do you have
Speaker 4: a chance, you got a chance every time.
Speaker 3: You walk out there.
Speaker 4: Was it any game last year, Jinx that we walked
Speaker 4: on a field that you like, we ain't got no chance.
Speaker 9: No, no like cause we got that guy. Because we
Speaker 9: got that guy. Like, because we got that guy, we
Speaker 9: got a chance. Every time a game starts, we're in it, right,
Speaker 9: That's just what it is. So no, this is this
Speaker 9: is decade plus long, all right, Quarterbacks play a long time.
Speaker 9: I don't want to see him put on no other jersey,
Speaker 9: all right at the end of the day, Yes, we're
Speaker 9: in the I'm sorry. I want to apologize to the
Speaker 9: fan base about the dark years I participated in.
Speaker 2: Now I understand that your fun.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, I call it.
Speaker 2: Now you're fun.
Speaker 3: It was the dark Age, the Black Plague.

Speaker 2: almost caught the player.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I apologize, but we are out of those times. Yes,
Speaker 4: we have found the vaccine. We are good, all right.
Speaker 4: So what I want to do is I want all
Speaker 4: the fans to know, because you know, doing my radio
Speaker 4: show after games, I caught myself talking to fans that
Speaker 4: I don't know if they was in just such disbelief
Speaker 4: that they couldn't believe this is who we are now.
Speaker 4: They were just so used to losing that they couldn't
Speaker 4: realize in grasp, but this is the new reality.
Speaker 3: This is our new reality.
Speaker 4: Year in and year out, we are coming, all right.
Speaker 4: We're coming for you and all the rest of the
Speaker 4: thirty one teams out there. We are coming, all right.
Speaker 1: And you know what, we earned it and we deserve
Speaker 1: it because we went through those times. That makes you
Speaker 1: appreciate the good times even more.
Speaker 4: Because it's like we've been waiting for this for long,
Speaker 4: because it's a decade of fans that's never seen us,
Speaker 4: and they don't know any better.
Speaker 2: They don't know any better. They like they don't they
Speaker 2: have never seen.

Speaker 2: No, I usually burn.
Speaker 1: I can get ten after a while. You got to
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time before I finally get ten.
Speaker 4: I totally understand that as I look at these undrafted
Speaker 4: free agents. Now, I can't say I know a lot
Speaker 4: about all of them, but I know a little bit
Speaker 4: about some of them. Let me tell you a funny
Speaker 4: thing that happened. I called the city open in d C.
Speaker 4: Every the first year that I did it.
Speaker 3: They put the names list in front of me. You know, tennis,
Speaker 3: it's very international.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, those names are very difficult jinks.
Speaker 3: And they made me call out all of them.
Speaker 2: Did you practice them?
Speaker 4: All you heard was the people laughing in the crowd.
Speaker 4: And after that they were like, smoot, you gotta come back.
Speaker 4: I was like why, because I want to mad laughing,
Speaker 4: because I'm literate, because I couldn't say most of these names.
Speaker 4: But it's like I thought football names were hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, tennis could be the hardest names in sports.
Speaker 1: Maybe hockey maybe, but tennis gets really in the weeds
Speaker 1: of like European countries.
Speaker 4: Every country had somebody there and these names are not easy,
Speaker 4: and I butchered them.
Speaker 3: Listen, Jinx, I believe you. I butchered them with a
Speaker 3: Southern accent.
Speaker 4: The only things that saved to me was the accent
Speaker 4: because I could mumble through something. Oh yeah, but I'm
Speaker 4: talking about last names with thirteen letters.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the tennis crowd loved that.
Speaker 3: They loved it. Bring him back.
Speaker 1: So when you look at the draft and the guys
Speaker 1: were drafted rounds one through seven, and you look at
Speaker 1: draft grades, I mean pretty much across the board, Like
Speaker 1: the lowest we saw was B, the highest was A.
Speaker 1: And what I thought was funny is when I'd read
Speaker 1: a B or something you'd read, well, it wasn't a
Speaker 1: big class, but you know, what are you gonna do
Speaker 1: about that? Yeah, But across the board, even the experts,
Speaker 1: however much you want to put stock into that set,
Speaker 1: this was about as solid and as strong as a get.
Speaker 2: I just think it's one of those things that.
Speaker 4: It's so subjective. It's like an Oxymoor run. And the
Speaker 4: way that you don't know when til you know, we
Speaker 4: won't notice for five years.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: So just because it looks.
Speaker 4: Good on paper right now, that's just like, all right,
Speaker 4: he's gonna lie that.
Speaker 3: Everybody tells themselves.
Speaker 4: Whoever we drafted in the first round is going to
Speaker 4: be good. No, sixty five percent of first round is
Speaker 4: going to fail.
Speaker 3: Like, so nothing in the draft is guaranteed.
Speaker 4: You want to talk about a crapshoot in the lottery,
Speaker 4: that's what the draft is. Just because you was good
Speaker 4: in college, don't make you a good pros.
Speaker 3: It's faster. You got to think a lot more.
Speaker 4: Is three degrees of mistakes like it's it's so much.
Speaker 4: So if good is great, they want to give us.
Speaker 4: That just means they feel like we pick the right category.
Speaker 4: You people, all right, So I give them debt props,
Speaker 4: but I won't give them any props when it comes
Speaker 4: to giving us a grade, because you can't grade us
Speaker 4: for three years at.
Speaker 2: Least right hit the least well.
Speaker 1: And also isn't the average NFL career like three two years,
Speaker 1: two to three years, two years if you make it
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That's why I don't care what you
Speaker 1: didn't need, if you had any sort of long career,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were in the league.
Speaker 4: NFL stands for not for long, not for long, like
Speaker 4: temp job, all right, the best thing Dale Green ever
Speaker 4: told me, Welcome to your dream temp job. Now, Like
Speaker 4: what you're like, Yeah, it's temporary, like you've been here
Speaker 4: for two decades.
Speaker 3: You're in treating saying like nothing is temporary about you.
Speaker 3: But he was like, do you know how many people
Speaker 3: I've seen come and go?
Speaker 2: Probably forgotten like chance with people.
Speaker 3: Just thousands of people come and go.
Speaker 4: So if you got that dream, you hold on to
Speaker 4: that dream. But the numbers are working against us. You
Speaker 4: got five hundred people hungry, younger than you, cheaper than you,
Speaker 4: coming out every year, all right, every year it recycles
Speaker 4: itself and it washed yourselfs out. So for you to
Speaker 4: survive for year out the year out the year, you
Speaker 4: got to bring something to the table that either this
Speaker 4: youngster can't or the guys that's on your level. kN
Speaker 4: got to play with a consistency. So with the draft grades,
Speaker 4: I'm always kind of iffy on that because I'm like,
Speaker 4: let time show me, let time show me who they are.
Speaker 1: I think I said this a few pods ago, but
Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite like sneaky good clips.
Speaker 2: And it was was it from last season two seasons ago.
Speaker 1: And it was a couple of young guys on the
Speaker 1: bear sideline and they were just talking and they were
Speaker 1: miked up and one guy looks still it goes, everyone
Speaker 1: here is good, and the other guy's like, yeah, everyone's good,
Speaker 1: you know, because it was like they were both like
Speaker 1: wide eyed kids saying, everyone on this field, you may
Speaker 1: not know everyone.
Speaker 2: Everyone here is good.
Speaker 4: The worst dude on this field, it's better than ninety
Speaker 4: nine percent of the population. Everybody, the jenitor is good,
Speaker 4: the water guy's good. Everybody is the upper excellent of
Speaker 4: what they do. And that's why to me and I
Speaker 4: do this with my kids, I don't want the first
Speaker 4: time for them to see high level.
Speaker 3: Competition is to be in college.
Speaker 4: O the pros see it now, Learn what your peace
Speaker 4: years are doing now. I was always taught if you
Speaker 4: send down playing a video game, I always think about
Speaker 4: what your competition doing right now.
Speaker 3: Because they work, that's right, they work. So I scared my.
Speaker 4: Kids with that and they be like, yeah, I'm playing
Speaker 4: the video game. I'm like, what about tep for Johnson?
Speaker 4: What is he doing right now?
Speaker 6: For doing it?
Speaker 4: That's what I tell him, Like, yeah, I always tell
Speaker 4: check this out. Refrigerator work, the micro wade work. Why
Speaker 4: you ain't working? That what I asked, why you ain't working?
Speaker 2: And also stop prank calling these kids.
Speaker 1: They have waited for the moment discuss and it didn't
Speaker 1: just happen to It happened to It happened to Josh Connolly,
Speaker 1: Josh Connerly, I should say, having a titler Warren, happened
Speaker 1: to Abdul Carter, it happened to guys across the board.
Speaker 1: Where don't ruin a moment that these kids have worked
Speaker 1: for their entire lives and imagine getting a call like
Speaker 1: that and then not getting drafted.
Speaker 4: First of all, this jealousy at its highest. You're only
Speaker 4: doing this because ain't nobody calling your phone. You're only
Speaker 4: doing this because you ain't got this epic. You want
Speaker 4: to ruin somebody's day and call them with a prank.
Speaker 4: That is the most disgusting.
Speaker 3: Thing I have man.
Speaker 4: These kids has dreamed of this since they was five
Speaker 4: years old, and the first thing gonna come to their
Speaker 4: mind is this jerk called me right and said I
Speaker 4: was drafted by a team that ain't drafted me. I
Speaker 4: won't forget this, even though I'm finna get this call soon. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 4: why would you.
Speaker 2: Even want to forget fining money?
Speaker 3: Forget all of that.
Speaker 4: They're just a disgusting human being exactly like now. And
Speaker 4: I understand we all idiots in our twenties. We all
Speaker 4: idiots in college, all right. We looking to laugh, we
Speaker 4: looking to gag each other, were looking to do whatever
Speaker 4: we can just.
Speaker 3: To have fun. This is not fun.
Speaker 4: This is this is beyond disgusting. So at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, I never get it. Man, it's I
Speaker 4: don't see why people want to ruin somebody else's day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they've earned it. They put on the time
Speaker 2: you have them. Yeah, yeah, say something else to do. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's time to listen to another voicemail.
Speaker 8: D Yeah, let's cube enough a voicemail. And if you
Speaker 8: guys didn't hear yourself this week, keep calling. We want
Speaker 8: to hear from you. And yeah, hold on, let me
Speaker 8: let me pull this up.
Speaker 10: Okay, she's got it, hey, friend, ain't jinks this is
Speaker 10: Tracy again. I was just calling because y'all were talking
Speaker 10: about Colorado retiring jersey numbers, and you know y'all saying
Speaker 10: what y'all were saying about is special this that the
Speaker 10: third and I got to thinking about the commanders. Now,
Speaker 10: we just retired GARYL. Green's jersey. The only two three
Speaker 10: official jerseys that we have retired is Jergison's Green and Boss.
Speaker 10: But we don't have monks number being in circulation, Gary, uh,
Speaker 10: Joe Bison's number being in circulation, along with other players
Speaker 10: numbers really not being in circulation. And my thing is,
Speaker 10: then if we're if we're not going to use those numbers,
Speaker 10: then why not retire them? And if we're not going
Speaker 10: to retire them, then why don't we put them back
Speaker 10: in rotation. That's just a question that I had. Thanks brother, Thank.
Speaker 4: You well thinking about it. You know, they haven't put
Speaker 4: that two seven in rotation.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, just to think about it,
Speaker 4: you know, not to glorify.
Speaker 3: Myself putting it out there, putting it out there, you know,
Speaker 3: me and me and Brad you know bread World too, yep.
Speaker 3: Let to sell them, you know.
Speaker 4: So it hasn't been in rotation, and I respect, I
Speaker 4: respect the team's wishes.
Speaker 3: So the thing about it is is just doing what
Speaker 3: the team wants, you know.
Speaker 4: So I understand where he's coming from on putting these
Speaker 4: numbers back into rotation, But I don't think the fan
Speaker 4: base wants to see anybody wear Arkmunk's.
Speaker 1: Number, right, And I also would say that I think
Speaker 1: the difference is is that haven't we seen that things
Speaker 1: are done differently now.
Speaker 2: With the Josh Harrish group. Haven't we seen that this
Speaker 2: is a different time where things can change. That's the
Speaker 2: one thing.
Speaker 1: We're seeing a lot of changes, all positive. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just been win after win after win. So I
Speaker 1: think I can't speak for anyone here about it and say,
Speaker 1: with all the changes we've seen, it wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if down the line we saw some of that shot.
Speaker 2: But he go to thing too, you just can't keep
Speaker 2: retiring numbers, like.
Speaker 4: There needs to be a standard, like think about it,
Speaker 4: like he go the tricky part about retiring numbers. If
Speaker 4: you retire all the great player numbers, the young player's
Speaker 4: got no numbers to wear, right, And he goes to
Speaker 4: scared thing about not retiring the number. And I'm just
Speaker 4: using this for example, that's all. I'm just using it
Speaker 4: for example. Let's say we didn't retire twenty eight, okay,
Speaker 4: and we drafted a kid.

Speaker 8: Well, don't make too many promises.
Speaker 2: We might have a big turn first drink on me.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you guys be sure to join.
Speaker 3: I didn't say it was alcohol.
Speaker 8: I've gotten enough. I've gotten jinks. Take on this, and
Speaker 8: I got brands take on this. Yeah, my friends and
Speaker 8: I bought a grill for our house. It's been really
Speaker 8: really fun.
Speaker 3: First of all, what category it is? Craft means what?
Speaker 8: I couldn't tell you. It's just a girl. And we
Speaker 8: started cooking hot dogs on the grill. Okay, but we're
Speaker 8: limited on our grilling capabilities, so probably every time we've grilled,
Speaker 8: we've grilled ourselves hot dogs. Also because hot dogs are good.
Speaker 8: But my moms to me instead, I think it's time
Speaker 8: to move up from hot dogs.
Speaker 3: She's right.
Speaker 6: What.
Speaker 3: First of all, let me tell.
Speaker 8: You, I'm twenty four years old.
Speaker 4: I've been saying, let me tell you someth about you youngsters.
Speaker 4: All right, our generation, we used to go in the
Speaker 4: kitchen when Grandma and Mama was in there.
Speaker 3: We used to go to the grill when they was
Speaker 3: out there, just to learn something.
Speaker 4: All Right, this new generation with all these air friars
Speaker 4: and all this other stuff, they don't know the genuine
Speaker 4: grilling techniques. If y'all have four people staying in the
Speaker 4: house and nobody knows how to grill chicken, ribs, chops.
Speaker 3: Anything, corn, anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine if we pull it up and we saw
Speaker 4: four twenty four year olds around a grill with nothing
Speaker 4: but hot dogs on them.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like a sympleton. I'd be like,
Speaker 2: those hot dogs are good. You can make a hot
Speaker 2: dog a lot different.
Speaker 4: I'm'd be like, this is the epitome of America. But
Speaker 4: this is where we're at right now. And you know
Speaker 4: what scares me. I'll be like, you know what, as
Speaker 4: I drive past these four people standing in this grill
Speaker 4: while they cook hot dogs. The thing that has scared me,
Speaker 4: jinks is I'd be like, in forty years, one of
Speaker 4: them could be president.
Speaker 8: Okay, I would I don't think the people cooking hot dogs,
Speaker 8: four people cooking hot.
Speaker 2: Dogs, one girl.
Speaker 1: I remember when it was just turning hot dogs on
Speaker 1: the grill.
Speaker 3: No you have y'all have to challenge yourselves on their grill.
Speaker 8: Okay, Well, if you have any suggestions, drop them in
Speaker 8: the comments.
Speaker 2: Yes, do chicken leave us a boys mail. I just
Speaker 2: put chili on top and be like, this is a
Speaker 2: totally different meal.
Speaker 8: Now exactly upgrades, minor upgrades.
Speaker 2: But how they don't even get the chocos?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Can I ask y'all this, Do you let the choco's
Speaker 4: gray before y'all put the hot dogs on there?
Speaker 8: Well, it's a it's a it's a grill with the gas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm through with you. What I'm through with you.
Speaker 4: I'm from city. We don't agreele with gas. We don't

Speaker 1: he welded a smoker that he made himself.
