Speaker 1: fb HP dot com with Amy Wells. I'm Mike Keith

5
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: and we are together again finally at Ascension St. Thomas

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Sports Park. We have been apart, we have You've traveled.

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: I have traveled all over North America. Yeah, I've I've

8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: been on a lot of airplanes, took a couple of

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: days to enjoy some sunshine and then went to sunny

10
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: Phoenix to owners meetings. I've met all of the free

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: agent signees you did, with the exception of Sean Murphy Bunting,

12
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: I did not get a chance to meet him, unfortunately,

13
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: disappointing well, and he's maybe maybe the most interesting free

14
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: agent of all because he was a guy that Tampa

15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Bay had to let go of because Tom Brady. And

16
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is here, Sean Murphy Bunting,

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: a corner, a very good player, a former second round pick.

18
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: But because Tampa Bay signed Tom Brady knowing that at

19
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: some point he would leave, they are having to take

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: a massive salary cap hit this year and so they

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: had to let a lot of guys walk that I'm

22
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: sure they did not want to let walk. Sean Murphy

23
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Bunting is one of those guys, you know. He was

24
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: on a list of guys that both Ran Carthon and

25
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Mike Frabel talked about this free agent group that has

26
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: been brought in so far, and he was on a

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: list of people that Rand said reminded him of Mike

28
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Vrabel because someone who had some success where he was

29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: was getting a little bit of playing time, but wasn't

30
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the guy and then maybe gets this change of scenery

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: and has the opportunity to really do something special. There

32
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: were a couple guys that he put on that list,

33
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and it kind of seems like it's one of the

34
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: trends of this free agent group is guys who could

35
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: maybe just use a fresh start, Guys who have shown

36
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: a lot of potential, guys who have an incredibly high ceiling.

37
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: After I was already excited about this group, after talking

38
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: to Ran and Rabel about them a little bit, I'm

39
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: even more excited than I was before. Tray Von Westco

40
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: is a tight end that the Titans agreed to terms

41
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: with on Friday, and Corey Levin is going to be

42
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: back backup offensive lineman. Appeared in seventeen games last year,

43
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: started three, can play center or guard, is a very

44
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: reliable player. Maybe he gets a chance to win a

45
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: starting spot somewhere. We shall see. So he's back on

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: the roster now. But Westco is an interesting guy because

47
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: he is very much, on the surface, a blocking tight end.

48
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: He's nearly two hundred and seventy pounds. WHOA, Well, that's useful.

49
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, especially in this offense, you need blockers. You

50
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: need guys that can do that, that can help out

51
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line. That's a great thing for the Titans

52
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: to have, and hopefully he can really make an impact,

53
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: especially as you go through the season and things things

54
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: get a little dicey and guys are starting to get

55
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: a little injured and you're just trying to run the

56
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: ball down their throats, whoever they are the opponents throats.

57
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: I should say, you need all the blockers you can

58
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: get and this could be a great one. You had

59
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: a chance to go to the NFL owners meeting in Arizona.

60
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Give us a bit of a take on that in

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: terms of what jumped out to you. Owners meetings are

62
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: so fun Um, because it's a lot of just sitting

63
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: and observing because essentially great people watching, great people watching,

64
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: some of the best people watching. Just in America, you're

65
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: waiting for people to come in and out of meetings

66
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: all day. This is this is your job, your responsibility

67
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: because whatever you need to do your wedging in between

68
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: this meeting and that meeting. So you spend a lot

69
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: of time sitting in hallways and walkways watching really important

70
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: people just walk back and forth. It's a banana's experience. Um.

71
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Some of the things that really stuck out to me

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: were things from like media breakfasts and things like that.

73
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: So one day, what do they have at the media

74
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: breakfast at the owners meeting? You know, it was actually

75
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: really good this year. There were Um there's a lot

76
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: of fruit, a lot of yogurts and other like custardy items,

77
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: which I really appreciated. Yeah, but then you know, there's eggs,

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: there's bacon. Um, there's usually some sort I believe there

79
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: were pancakes. I didn't eat the pancakes, but they look delightful. Yeah.

80
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Uh no omelet bar No, but lots of little pastries

81
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: that you can grab. Um. I had a papaya Danish.

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: That was quite nice. You ever heard of that? Well, exactly.

83
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: Only the finest people in the land get papaya Danish, right?

84
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Is what? You also get gear when you go to

85
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: the steel too, don't you do get some gear? Um?

86
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I came away with a good haul, including a tennis skirt,

87
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: which I've never really been a tennis skirt person. But

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: I think I've been talked into playing pickleball. On this trip.

89
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: Multiple people recommended to me that I take up pickleball. Why. Um,

90
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: because I'm not very athletic and you don't have to

91
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: run very far, and now you've got an outfit, and

92
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: now I have the outfit. So I really feel like

93
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: this this is my new calling. But like, if an

94
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: NFL owner tells you you'd be good at pickleball, what

95
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Say? No, Amy thought I could

96
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: be Adam strong. Yeah, she thought I could. We go

97
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: to pickleball. So I'm gonna try it. But you got

98
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: a tennis skirt. I've got a tennis skirt, I got

99
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: tennis shoes, I got all kinds of a little I mean,

100
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: you like, find it in your room, No, you go

101
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: and pick it up. You tell them your sizes and

102
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: they hand it to you like a bag. Yeah. I

103
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: got a nice little Duffel bag that I'm very excited

104
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: about it. It's a unique size. It's not too big,

105
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: not too small. Carry on the plane, Yeah I did.

106
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: I did carry it on the plane. Um, they take

107
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: care of you. It owners me. Well, I'm just wondering, yea,

108
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: because it sounds it's It's the most luxurious thing that

109
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I get to do. It's not like going to Senior Bowl.

110
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: It's not exactly Senior Bowl, although mobile is lovely, but

111
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: you get all the reass you want at the Senior Bowl. Yeah,

112
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean candies hard to come by it

113
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: owners meetings, but there was raspberry infused water every day.

114
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? And that was quite nice. That's nice. Yes,

115
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of people who are used to

116
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: a standard of living that I just don't know how

117
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: to open. So how many people totally this deal? They're

118
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: thirty two teams. There's thirty two teams, and then people

119
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: do most teams bring Well, it kind of depends because

120
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: there's a certain limit to how many representatives teams can

121
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: have in each meeting. Okay, so there's that to kind

122
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: of maneuver. You can only have so many people in

123
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the room for different meetings. However, there's a lot of

124
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: different meetings that touch on a lot of different departments.

125
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: So for the Tennessee Titans, a lot of our executive

126
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: team is there. Barke night Hill, the president of course,

127
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: is there, and then the ownership group is there and

128
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: their families, so there's always someone to talk to and

129
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: hang out with. You're never too far away from a

130
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titan when you're an owner's meetings. So I would

131
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: say the Titans probably had about fifteenish executives and staff,

132
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and then Amy Adams, Trunk, Kenneth Adams, Barclay Adams, their families.

133
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: So I would say each team was about like that,

134
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: maybe a couple fewer people, maybe ten, Probably between five

135
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: and six hundred people. Yeah, that's good map. How many

136
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: people does the league gif? Not a ton? I mean

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: they have their main executives. Of course, Roger Goodell is

138
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: there presenting UM and then to any of the pres

139
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: there are presentations UM we can go to. I could

140
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: have gone, I could have gone to UM. The the

141
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: commissioner does a big presentation to open the meetings. It's

142
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: kind of a state of the National Football League, talks

143
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: about a lot of different things are going on, newsworthy things. Um.

144
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people were at that. I was not.

145
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: I was prepping for my interviews the next day. UM.

146
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: And then there are some other presentations that happen throughout

147
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: the week. They'll bring in some guest speakers. One year,

148
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: Reese Witherspoon was there. I don't know who was there

149
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: this year, but yeah, they have guest speakers that they

150
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: bring in. They have different activities that they do. There's

151
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: always a community service event that a lot of people

152
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: participate in. So there are little activities and things, but

153
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: we spend ninety percent of our time waiting in walkways

154
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: to try and snag the person that we're trying to

155
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: talk to. What Rabel was great? I think Rabel thrives

156
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: in the sunshine. I think he likes the warm weather.

157
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that and ask, but I think he does.

158
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: He was great at the media breakfast that they do.

159
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: And it's early now. This media breakfast is at like

160
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: seven in the morning, and that's Mountain or Pacific this

161
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: time of year. Shoot, I don't know, because they do

162
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: not observe daylight. Saying no, they were two hours behind us,

163
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: so you tell me they're Pacific time basically right now? Okay?

164
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: But he was great, bright eyed and bushytailed, answered a

165
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: lot of questions for thirty minutes. It's not an hour anymore.

166
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: It's thirty minutes now. And I think he enjoyed that.

167
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: And there's coffee and breakfast, you know, and that's nice.

168
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: Was able to talk with him as people heard if

169
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: they listened to our last edition of the ANTP and

170
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: he was a delight. He was a treat. We all

171
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: had dinner together as a team and that was a

172
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: lot of fun together. Who did you sit next to,

173
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: m Josh Corey okay and Jim Wyatt. Oh well, Jim Wyatt, Yeah,

174
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Jim Wyatt, Ashley Farrell. Jim Wyatt makes all the trips.

175
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: He does make all the trip Jim Wyatt has been

176
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: a man across America this year and he spent something

177
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: crazy like fourteen days in Phoenix this year because he

178
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: went for the Super Bowl. Sure it was there, So

179
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: Jim's frequent flyer miles have got to be out of

180
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: this world. But I mean, Jim goes to everything and

181
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: he writes about every well, and that's the thing. You

182
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: appreciate so much from our end. Is not only do

183
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: we send him, but man, it's a payoff. He gets stuff.

184
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you go to Tennessee Titans dot com,

185
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: you're reading Jim Wyatt stuff and more Jim Wyatt stuff,

186
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: and I mean, I don't he must not play any golf. Well,

187
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: so here's an example. We scheduled some of our interviews

188
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: and things that we needed to do during the NFC

189
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: Coach's Breakfast because we're not in the NFC, which I

190
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: felt like a good time. But people we knew people

191
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: would be up. They'd be at the built More where

192
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: they had the meetings, so we figured that would be

193
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: a good time to get Yes, that's where we were.

194
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful, beautiful hotel. Um and so we scheduled

195
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff and we were like, hey, Jim,

196
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: do you want in on some of this. We're gonna

197
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: have so and so here if you want to be

198
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: a part of that. He's like, oh no, I'm going

199
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: to the Coach's Breakfast. Well why, Jim, Well, I figured

200
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: i'd see what's going on. I don't have anybody I'm

201
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: really talking to, but I thought I might feel bad

202
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: if I didn't go, so I'm just gonna go and

203
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: see what's up. I'll probably find something to write about.

204
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: That's the old school Tennessee. And Jim Whitt went with

205
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: no intention of doing anything and still ended up with

206
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of good stuff. That's Jim lat That's why

207
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: it just I was so proud of him, but not

208
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: proud enough to go myself, I mean, and that that's

209
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: why I'm just regular. Amy. Was this your first, real, um,

210
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: get to know you sort of thing with ran Carthon?

211
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: It was. This was my first, like independent, just me,

212
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: one on one interview with him, and it was delightful. Um,

213
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: he's just a cool dude, is and I really enjoyed

214
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: getting to talk to it even after the interview, just

215
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: kind of hanging around getting to know each other a

216
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: little bit better. Really a nice guy, really just a

217
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: cool person to be around. And I mean everybody at

218
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: those meetings stopped to talk to him. Everybody. He's that guy.

219
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: He's that guy. He knows everybody, he talks to everybody.

220
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: Everybody's like a friend of a friend somehow, Like he's

221
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: the guy in high school that you would think, on

222
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: the surface you would hate because he's friends with everybody,

223
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: and yet he's so cool you can't hate him. You

224
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: can't hate him, yea, because you admire how he's friends

225
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: with everybody. Yeah, because that's right. He's the bridge guy. Yep.

226
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: We all knew that guy in high school. Yep. You know.

227
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: I had a friend named Andy Sharon, who was that

228
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: guy who graduated with me. Everybody liked Andy Sharon. Yeah,

229
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: he's And at first I was like, what a jerk

230
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: talks to every and then I start talking to him

231
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he's the best guy ever. He's one

232
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: of my favorite people ever, you know. But that's it.

233
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: That's the quality Rand has. Yeah. He is so good

234
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: at just having a conversation with someone, making a connection,

235
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: and then he remembers what he talked about, right, and

236
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: that that's what makes those people so just out of

237
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: this world. To me, they have a conversation, they remember

238
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: that conversation and they can reference it at a later point.

239
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: That is a skill set. It is a skill It's incredible. Um.

240
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was awesome to be able to get

241
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: to spend some time with him, ask him a bunch

242
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: of Titans questions and just kind of get his pulse

243
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: on how things are going and what he's got going on,

244
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: but also just to kind of hang out in the

245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: halls and just get to know him a little better.

246
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I get to go to Tennessee's pro day. Yeah, he knocks.

247
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: It was great. It was I think that's the first

248
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: pro day I had been to since COVID WHOA. I

249
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: was thinking about that because we used to do two

250
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: or three. Yeah, we used to hit the circuit pretty

251
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: hard now and then we had to stop. Yeah, and

252
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: then we just didn't got Did we go anywhere? Last year? Cincinnati?

253
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: I went to right Cincinnati's product to do the story

254
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: about Luke Fickle and Mike Vrabel that ended up being

255
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: so good. Yes, Yeah, I did really well with it. Yeah.

256
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: Did you know that no matter where you go on

257
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's campus, you were walking directly uphill. There's no downhill.

258
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing. It's like the hills that your

259
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: grandfather lived on that was uphill both ways. That's their

260
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: whole campus. It was crazy. I don't know how people

261
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: live there. I mean, it's a beautiful campus in a

262
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: great school, in a great program, so not as beautiful

263
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: as Tennessee's camp. Dolly, your thighs must be burning. Well,

264
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: you walk up at Tennessee, you walk up the hill,

265
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: the hill, singular hill, the hill. It's the famous on

266
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: a hallowed hill in Tennessee. Is part of how the

267
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: alma mater goes by the way, but the hill is

268
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: what That's what they show when they showed the big

269
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: cutaways and they show airs hall, that's the hill. And

270
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: so everybody has tremendous calves when you're a freshman and

271
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: a sophomore because you take your freshman and sophomore classes

272
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: largely on the hill. You unless you're a math major,

273
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: like a geology major, you don't go up there much

274
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: after your first two years. This is making like my

275
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: calves burn. Dude. You talk about a workout, Dude, I

276
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: went to a school on flat lands. Well, of course, yeah,

277
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: hills in Missouri. But it's beautiful day at Tennessee and

278
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: their indoor complex is nice and all thirty two teams

279
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: were there. Wow, for the first time in years, they

280
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: think at Tennessee that they will have more players drafted

281
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: this year than they've had in any year since two

282
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: thousand and six. I would believe that. I mean, that's stunning.

283
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: I would believe that, though think of all the success

284
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: they had. Think of the players that have been contributing

285
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: over the last few years, that wouldn't surprise me at all. Yeah,

286
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: and they hadn't been very good, you know, for a

287
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: few years before that, and so and and there's a

288
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: direct correlation. It's like George's gonna have fourteen players drafted.

289
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: It's like, no, kid, Yeah, really, Alabama has fifteen every year.

290
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Really good teams have a good Yeah, that's that's how

291
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: this work. Yeah, I made it on my Tennessee friends

292
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: would say, why don't you guys draft you know, some

293
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: balls for the tides, Like, well, have you seen you know,

294
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: not playing so good? Yeah, put up a little you know.

295
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Some of the analysis doesn't really take a lot of days.

296
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Oh it really, it is just some of it is

297
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: hard and we have to go to coach Mack. Some

298
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: of it not so much. Now. I mean between Hendon Hooker,

299
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Cedric Tillman, Jalen Hyatt, Darnell Wright, Byron Young, Jeremy Banks,

300
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean they are they are pretty good. And then

301
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: they've got some other guys. The guy that really stuck

302
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: out to me was Jerome Carvin, who's from Cordova, Tennessee,

303
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: and he's an offensive London played in more games than

304
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: any player in Tennessee history, really sixty games because he

305
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: got five full years of playing because of COVID, so

306
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: he didn't get a sixth year because he didn't need one.

307
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: But he played. He played as a true freshman, and

308
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: he plays both guards. He plays center. A lot of

309
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: people think he may be a center in the NFL.

310
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a draftable player, but he's

311
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: gonna end up in a camp. And they've got Princeton Fant,

312
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: who's from Laverne, Tennessee, tight end, h back, kind of guy,

313
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: interesting player. I mean, they're you know, but it was

314
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: fun to watch ball yea and to watch Ray Bowl

315
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: out there. Of course he had to get out there

316
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: at one point and get Darnell Right straight in a drill.

317
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: He there was something he wanted Darnell Right to do,

318
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: and it was impressive because Darnell Wright did it exactly

319
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: the way Mike wanted it. Did he put the pads on?

320
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: He did not? He did not. But Jason Hotailing was there,

321
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line coach Ryan Crowe, the outside linebacker coach

322
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Tim Kelly, the offensive coordinator Pat O'Hara the former quarterback

323
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: coach who's a passing game analyst, a lot of the scouts,

324
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of the scouting people, John Salgi from

325
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: the scouting office who's a Tennessee graduate. Obviously, Ryan Cowden,

326
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: who's vice president player personnel. Because the rest of the

327
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: bunch was at Florida, and there are a lot of

328
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: guys to Florida didn't have a great year, but there

329
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: are a lot of guys to see it Florida who

330
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: I think are mid round to you know, maybe some

331
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: undrafteds as well. And I think, to me, you're scouting

332
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: those guys more than you are the first round pigs. Yeah, yeah,

333
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: I think so. I think you go out there and

334
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: you're trying to see because they give everybody the opportunity

335
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: to do work. It's not just a day that the

336
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: guys you've heard about at the combine or whatever are working.

337
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: It's a day for everybody to work. So I think

338
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right that they're able to scout a lot

339
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: of different people. What do you think about all this

340
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: conversation about these quarterbacks intentionally hitting the ceilings in their

341
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: indoor Now have you seen all of this buzz because

342
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: Richardson did it because Levis did it and Young did it, right, yeah, yep,

343
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: and mac Jones is saying he did it. I don't

344
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: remember that, but like I mean, I guess it's to

345
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: show arm strength. I can't tell if it's that or

346
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: if it's one of those weird like just to say

347
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: you could do party trick things kind is. Yeah, but

348
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean hitting the seal that's really you know who

349
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: threw a Tennessee which was kind of interesting. Dresser Win.

350
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: Through Dresser Win, who is from Dresden, Tennessee football, he

351
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: was a mister football class A played for Derek Ryan

352
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: there won a state championship. Was also a great basketball player.

353
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Through for three hundred plus yards against Tennessee for UT

354
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Martin this year. And because Hendon Hooker couldn't throw with

355
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: the knee, dresser Win got a chance to throw, and

356
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: I thought, man, that is that is so good. It's

357
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: a big, good looking kid. Yeah yeah, he's a bit.

358
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a really striking kid. I think he's

359
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: six three and um. But the greatest name I did

360
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: his state championship game when Dresden won the state championship.

361
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: I got to do really yeah, well that's fun. That

362
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: was fun. I had a couple like that have had

363
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: a chance to do their state championship games at at

364
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: different points, and so that was fun to see. But

365
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: it was great out being out amongst that again, and

366
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: to see the and Tennessee had their coaches clinic going

367
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: on too, so a lot of high school coaches around

368
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: and they're in spring practice. So there's a lot of

369
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: buzz about that right now. And the campus is absolutely gorgeous.

370
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's springtime. This used to be the start

371
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: of spring quarter right now. This would have been the

372
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: first week of spring quarter and you go into June.

373
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: My first two years were on quarters. Interesting and so

374
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: it was great US quarters. Why was that great? Nine

375
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: weeks you get a break, Yeah, oh you do. You

376
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: had fall quarter, winter quarter, spring quarter, summer quarter, and

377
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: then there were a couple of mini terms in there too.

378
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: But the quarters and a lot of the West Coast

379
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: schools are still on quarters summer on trimesters, which is

380
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: also yes, similar, Yeah, But what was so great about

381
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: this is whereas you have to go for fifteen or

382
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: sixteen weeks in a semester, you don't have to go

383
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: nine or ten weeks in a quarter. So if you

384
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: hated a class, which I often did. Then you knew

385
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: you could stick it out. That was going to be

386
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: my question. You get a new set of classes after

387
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: nine weeks? Absolutely, how are you qualified to do anything

388
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: after nine weeks? Oh? I was very quiet. I could

389
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: tell you about anything after nine weeks two months of

390
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: a class moving on. And then we switched in the

391
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: middle to semesters, and I did not do as well

392
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: with semesters because you're used to the quarters. Yeah, that

393
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: sounds great. It was not yet. Quarters was great. Yeah,

394
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: I mean that was not an option that was provided

395
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: to me at Missouri, at Battle Old missoo, Nope. You

396
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: were in it for the long haul, and if it's

397
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: not going well, you just better suck it up and

398
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: keep it moving that drop deadline, yeah, or just I mean,

399
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: just don't fail Econ again. For the love of God.

400
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: That's it. That's what was said in my house. So

401
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: this week visits start back the top thirty visits teams

402
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: are sort of back into that. Those go through April

403
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: the nineteenth. Yes, we're now less than four weeks away

404
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: from the draft. In Kansas City. Can you believe it?

405
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: What do you you know? Kansas City? What do you

406
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: think that's gonna look like down in that area where

407
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: they're hosting it. You know, I've been trying to because

408
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: that's generally pretty close to where we stay. It is,

409
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: so I've kind of been trying to visualize it in

410
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: my brain. And the only thing that I can kind

411
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: of equate it too, because they have said that it

412
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: is going to be at the Union Station area, which

413
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: is right across the street from where the Titans typically stay. Oh,

414
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: Ashley Farrell has pulled up a little Okay, okay, so

415
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: this is kind of what I thought. So the only

416
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: thing that I had to kind of compare this too,

417
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: because the draft has such a large footprint. Oh, this

418
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: looks quite nice. The draft has such a large footprint.

419
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: It takes up a tremendous amount of space, and we

420
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: saw that when it was in Nashville in twenty nineteen.

421
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: The amount of just square footage and real estate required

422
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: for all of the different aspects of the draft is remarkable, right,

423
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: And so in Kansas City, I was thinking they don't

424
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: have that much land. But then I remembered during his

425
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: presidential campaign, President or former President Obama did a speech

426
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: around that same area. Candidate Obama was there in two

427
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: zero zero eight. Yeah, and it was it was it

428
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: was so massive, and this was the weekend before the

429
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: election and it was freezing. Yeah, and we were playing there,

430
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: and so he was I didn't know that. Yeah, I

431
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: didn't know that. I didn't know there was a Titans

432
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: component were the story. That's crazy. So we couldn't go

433
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: out that night really for anything, because you couldn't get

434
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: a cab or your stuff. You were pretty much Fortunately

435
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: we could walk to different places, but it was like

436
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: nothing I'd ever seen. So that's where this is going

437
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: to be. So it's going to be in that same space.

438
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: And so I knew that they could handle a large

439
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: amount of people and like a large stage setup in that.

440
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: But looking at these pictures, it looks like it's going

441
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: to be pretty cool and there's going to be a

442
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of room to roam. There's a water feature. I mean,

443
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: Kansas City is known for its fountains, so you have

444
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: to incorporate a fountain. Anything to do with Western Auto,

445
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know they've got all the Western Autos that

446
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: used to be the headquarters. Maybe it still is the

447
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: headquarters of Western Audo. Hallmark is down there. Hallmark is

448
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: there I mean there's a lot of good stuff there.

449
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: I mean when we were there, when I skating, it

450
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: was let me stop for a second. OT people, many

451
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: of you have asked, should I go? Should I go

452
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: to Kansas City? The answer is yes, yeah, go to

453
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 1: a draft to go. But this draft will be a

454
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: good one. They will do a good job because they

455
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: are the world champions. I mean they are, and they

456
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: are enthusiastic about football, and they are enthusiastic about their team,

457
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: and they'll put on a nice draft. It won't be

458
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen in Nashville, it sure won't, but they'll do

459
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: a nice job. If I was recommending one outside of Nashville,

460
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: this is the one you would recommend. Yeah, I think

461
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: so if you're gonna go as a fan. I'm totally serious.

462
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: I think so if I'm gonna go as a fan,

463
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: because I do think it's set up in a way

464
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: much like Nashville was that you can walk to so

465
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: much and they're good places to eat. Yes, you know,

466
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: it'll be nice. Would I tell the OT people to

467
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: go if I didn't believe they should go, No, you would.

468
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: I would go to this draft if I didn't have

469
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: to work, and by the way we're doing the entire

470
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: first round and the entire second and third round on

471
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Titan's radio, wall to wall. I think that Kansas City

472
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: will be fine. I think the weather is an interesting component. Well,

473
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: that's true because it could be i mean really poor

474
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: and it or it could be cold. In Missouri, it

475
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: will be raining, snowing, tornadoing or amazing. Yeah, and those

476
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: are pretty much your options. And it could be real

477
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: hot and it could be real hot weather. Late April

478
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: is a weird time in Missouri, so brace yourself for that.

479
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: I think if you are not tolerant to Chiefs fans,

480
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: this is not the one for you because they will

481
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: be everywhere and they're not the worst that I mean,

482
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: how many times can you hear Jeff, Well, that's not

483
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: the worst thing I've ever heard. It's a lot. Well,

484
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: but you're from Missouri, Yeah, it's it's a lot. It's

485
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: not that bad compared to like Eagles fans. Oh, I

486
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: don't care about Eagles fans. Oh yeah, I mean fly eagles,

487
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: fly dudever you need. They spelled each other. I think

488
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: maybe there's a place in my heart for people who

489
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: spelled each other because like Missoo just we spell the

490
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: word back and forth. So maybe maybe I just spellers

491
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: of the world. Maybe I have an affinity for spelling,

492
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: but no, I mean it will be everywhere you go.

493
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: Jefs Jeeves Championship. Yeah, and I mean be excited. But

494
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: like good gravy, it's gonna be a lot and they've

495
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: just had a lot of stuff going on. They're very

496
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: excited about themselves, and I mean that's all good, but

497
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: just I mean, if you go, you're gonna need a

498
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: lot of boulevard beer. Liked beer. That's what you want.

499
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: If you go for no other reason, go to celebrate

500
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans eleventh pick, and drink all the boulevard

501
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: beer you can get your hands on, because it's hard

502
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: to find outside of Kansas City as long as you're

503
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: over twenty one. Yeah, I mean yeah Jeeves, Okay, thank you,

504
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: keep it moving. Appreciate yo. Yeah, good congrats you did

505
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: it well. They did it the World Championship. I mean,

506
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: if you're the World champions, you can basically do whatever

507
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: you is. This time the first time the defending World

508
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: champions have hosted the draft in their city, not counting

509
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: New York because the draft was it was in New

510
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: York forever, but since they started moving it. Yes, by

511
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the way, are we doing a Super Bowl in New

512
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: York again? Did we hear that? Did they talk about

513
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty potentially being in New York? Um? Not

514
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: that I heard that, doesn't mean they didn't announce it

515
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: and I missed it. But I didn't hear one. Because

516
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: you're going through all your gear, your free gear that

517
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: you got while you were there. Hey, that is a

518
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: tremendous perk and I'm very appreciative. I mean it is.

519
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: It's like when we played in the Super Bowl, we

520
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: would come home to the hotel every night and there

521
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: would be a gift on our bed. Isn't that nice?

522
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: It was the greatest, What a feeling it was. So

523
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: I want to do that again so badly. Yeah, I

524
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: want a gift. Mike. I would like you to know

525
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people asked where you were? Where owners

526
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: did they really? Yeah? Your presence was missed. Well, I've

527
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: never been, so how would my presence be? I mean well,

528
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean people wished you were there, maybe more than

529
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: me wished I was there. Yeah, they where's Mike? They said,

530
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: why isn't Mike Keith here? We were hoping to see Mike. Well,

531
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: I know, but you got me. I'm sorry. Did you

532
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,239
Speaker 1: feel less than No? I just kind of told him,

533
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: we don't let you come to the nice thing and

534
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: got your free stuff and waking dragged your massive bag

535
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: of swag and departed. Yeah. I got a nice like

536
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: leather backpack. Oh gosh, she's rubbing it in, didn't she. Well,

537
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna scuff, all right, so what we

538
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: have to start? He's gonna scuff. I'm so sorry. I

Speaker 1: other a hug. That'd be great. With your leather bag,

542
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, bring it to your house. No, Roger Goodell

543
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: doesn't talk to me. He has talked to you before. Yeah,

544
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: he told me he was sorry that I was working

545
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: so hard, and then left and just kept walking and

546
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: just kevin moving didn't didn't help you transport anything. I

547
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: was pulling a giant carton of equipment through the mud.

548
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: He walked by, and he goes, huh, that looks hard,

549
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: and kept right on walking. Nobody offered to help me.

550
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: I was covered head to toe and mud. It was

551
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, and now you've got a leather backpack. And

552
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: now I have a leather backpack that I hope he

553
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: paid for. I don't think he did. Maybe they made

554
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: it out of that chair downstairs and they said, let's

555
00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: commemorate this owner speeding by turning Commissioner Goodell's chair into

556
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: several backpacks. Yeah, that's great. I mean I would cherish

557
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: that backpack. All right. So when we get back to
