65
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: go poorly. And I've been part of different businesses over

66
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: my life, in radio and early on some startup companies

67
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: with podcasts before I got linked up with Colin that

68
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: didn't go well, and talking to you know, my friends

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: in different businesses that have tried different things. From a

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: non entrepreneurial standpoint, try starting business.

71
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: And they fail. People point fingers.

72
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Now, most of these businesses are not very public, so

73
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: you never hear about them. But we have been seeing

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: in professional sports when shit hits the fan, everyone points

75
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the finger at someone else. I actually think it's kind

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: of a basic instinct for human beings. Think about when

77
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: you're a little kid, anyone with siblings, when you get

78
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: in trouble or with your friends, you never take responsibility.

79
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: You always blame someone else even if you did it,

80
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a natural reaction. Now, the older

81
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: you get and more professional, some people are clearly more

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: cutthroat than others. They would do the Joe Peshi meme

83
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: in Goodfellas. They'll take you out to survive. And I

84
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: also think survival for a lot of people in business

85
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: is almost more important than their actual job performance. They'll

86
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to survive. So the easiest thing

87
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: when things are not going well, which is inevitable, I

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: don't care what business you're in, is to say, it's

89
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: not my fault, it's someone else's fault. I would have

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: done this different. Wasn't my idea. That guy screwed it up.

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: That guy's the more on we replaced that person, we

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: change this that I had.

93
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: Nothing to do with.

94
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: We'll make it and then you can keep going down that,

95
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, taking that stance the rest of your career.

96
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: And a lot of people do it. And if you

97
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: get in with the right people right, if you're an

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: employee and the owner likes you, that the main CEO

99
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: likes you, it's easy to do that and survive. We've

100
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: all known people that do it. I saw it in

101
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: the radio industry when I worked in it for about

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: four years with a ton of guys. It wasn't about

103
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: how good they were at their job. And I'm not

104
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: even talking about hosts. I'm talking about people that worked

105
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: for the company. It was about surviving and keeping that job,

106
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: which I understand because the number one thing that humans

107
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the older you get. I was talking to someone about

108
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: this the other day because they thought they were getting screwed,

109
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: and I said, listen, I don't think this person's necessarily

110
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: trying to screw you. But first and foremost, they care

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: about themselves and they care about their family. And if

112
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: they view you as like, ah, you don't need the money,

113
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: you're rich, or you've made a lot of money, it's

114
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: easy to justify and ultimately, and listen, a lot of

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: people are like this, I have to do what I

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: have to do. And I think in sports, we've all

117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: seen this happen forever. When teams lose GMS, coaches, players,

118
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: but mainly GMS and coaches point the finger at other

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: people and try to get them fired, try to get

120
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: them removed and say it was their fault. In football,

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: it happens all the time. The GM points the finger

122
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: at the coach, and if not the head coach, the coordinators,

123
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: and that's why there's constant turnover.

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: At those positions.

125
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: But actually, when you have success is a time when

126
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people, especially you know, highly public figures,

127
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: struggle with that. And I remember when I first got

128
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: into kind of radio and out of the NFL and

129
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: started doing whatever the hell I do Now. I saw

130
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: with Jed York and Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh was bigger

131
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: than every player on the team, and that team had

132
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: star players everywhere, and he got the majority of the credit,

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: and Jed York and Trent Balkey did not like that. Now,

134
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Jed was young, and Trent who I like. I mean,

135
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: he's been cool to me in my dealings with him

136
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: over the years, but a lot of people think he's

137
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: kind of an ego crazy, you know, power hungry maniac,

138
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: and they didn't get the credit. Jim got it all,

139
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: and then they inevitably fired Jim Harbaugh. Now, the good

140
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: thing about some of these it happened with Jerry Jones obviously,

141
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Johnson, which I would say is one of

142
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: the more famous ones in NFL history, and it took

143
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: them twenty five years to get back together. And most

144
00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: of this is not usually over money, because you're dealing

145
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: with rich people.

146
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: Now.

147
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: The money when Jimmy and Jerry broke up was a

148
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: lot different than the modern day NFL. But when you

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: see these things happen, specifically Bill and Craft, it has

150
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: nothing to do with one penny, let alone millions of dollars.

151
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: Craft is a billionaire and Bill is worth a shitload.

152
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: It's all about ego.

153
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: And we noticed it on the roast because you're like, god,

154
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of weird at the end, and then

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman had drew Bledsoe on his podcast and brought

156
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: it up and he hammered it home. It's actually worse

157
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: than you think. Let's take a lessen etioned in that

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: room though it was, it was real cut, it was

159
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: very real.

160
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: It was real. I was so awkward.

161
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I was watching coach and I tried

162
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: to give coach a heads up.

163
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, I see Craft walk in, like he'll coach you.

164
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Know this locker room shit like five oh five oh

165
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: you know like.

166
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: He did.

167
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: Of course he didn't fucking see it, right, and he

168
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: came in and I was like, oh shit, this could

169
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: be some fireworks.

170
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 2: I just walked away. To me.

171
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: The craziest part about this, let's use the Gym and

172
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: Jed York example. When those guys had their falling out

173
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: and they mutually departed aka fired Jim. Jim was like

174
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: fifty years old. Jed was in his early thirties. Time

175
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: was on their side, and a couple of years ago

176
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: they had a reunion for like the twenty twelve team

177
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: that lost in the Super Bowl, and Jim came and

178
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: now everyone's friends.

179
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: Now.

180
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're BFFs. They're not sending each other

181
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: Christmas cards. Probably maybe they do, but it's like time happens.

182
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I remember being a kid and having some family issues,

183
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: not with my immediate family, but just uncles and aunts

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: and people not talking, and think, of God, this is

185
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: pretty chaotic. This is in my close couple friends didn't

186
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: really have that. And then the older you get, you

187
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: meet a bunch more people you realize, yeah, I wasn't alone.

188
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: Happens to a lot of people. Most people's family, I

189
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: think we could say, in some form or fashion, kind

190
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: of messed up.

191
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: There is no perfect.

192
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: Family, and it makes you realize, yeah, And over time

193
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: everyone gets back together, hopefully and you figure things out

194
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: and it might never be the same, but it's not

195
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: as acrimonious as it once was. Why Because over time

196
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: brings your perspective. You realize life short at what were

197
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: we actually arguing over? What were our actual issues? And

198
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: you put them aside. You know, Jerry, I would say

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: as probably, if not the biggest, one of the biggest

200
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: egos in the league, and Jimmy probably does two and

201
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: it took them twenty five years. But when they broke up,

202
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: both guys, I didn't write down their age, but I

203
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: would guess, you know, mid forties, late or late forties,

204
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: early fifties. So if they're gonna live till they're eighty

205
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: or eighty five, like they got some time and they

206
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: finally got back together, Check and Craft, who clearly despise

207
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: each other. Craft has hated him and told people publicly.

208
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: It's been well reported on for a long long time.

209
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Can't stand him and like Bill's not.

210
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: The easiest guy to deal with.

211
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: Fired is one thing. Listen, teams struggle, guys get fired,

212
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to pro sports. But that documentary was an all

213
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: time FU to Bill, and Bill even use it in

214
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: the roast. Here's the problem. I don't see any making up.

215
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: Bill is seventy two, seventy three years old. Robert Kraft

216
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: is eighty two. One of these guys is going to

217
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: take this situation to the grave cause it ain't getting fixed.

218
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: It just is not.

219
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: And I think it makes you realize most things end

220
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: pretty poorly. Most great things kind of crash and burn

221
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: in the history of time, right, Jews is an analogy

222
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: all the time, well even roam Pell.

223
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: You see it with some.

224
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Of these companies, like is Apple going to stay on

225
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: top forever?

226
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: Probably not.

227
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: History of time would show you that's not usually the

228
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: way it works out. And you look at this situation,

229
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: they saw unprecedented success and ultimately their downfall wasn't the

230
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: last couple of years of losing, which sucked.

231
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: But it's football. You have some bad years, like.

232
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: Andy had a couple bad years in Philadelphia. Him and

233
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Larry are still good buddies. It was about Robert

234
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Kraft's refusal because ultimately we can argue to what blue

235
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: in the face Brady Belichick Belichick Brady, We know both

236
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: guys had a big role. However you want to put

237
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: it on the pipe chart sixty forty Brady, seventy thirty Brady.

238
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: Fifty to fifty. It was those two guys.

239
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Robert Craft, let's face, it didn't do a goddamn thing

240
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: and that bothered him, just like bother Jerry back in

241
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: the day, why he wanted to be the star and

242
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: let's face it, Robert Craft kind of likes being a star.

243
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: He kind of does.

244
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: He likes being a big deal. Look at who he's

245
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: running around with, Robert Craft. I never see him runn

246
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: around with other guys eighty years old. He likes running

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: around the cool guys. He likes trying to be a

248
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: real cool guy.

249
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: And it seemed like people.

250
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Have liked him over the years, but in this situation,

251
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: like I'm sorry, just give him.

252
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: His flowers and move on.

253
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: But that Craft family clearly right now hates him. And

254
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: I would say, based on Belichick's history, pretty petty guy.

255
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: Not one to just be.

256
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I messed up, screwed up, My bad, my bad.

257
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: He's eighty two years old.

258
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: If he lives three more years, that's an incredible life.

259
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: How many people you know lived till eighty five?

260
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 2: Short list?

261
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: My dad didn't sniff eighty five. So you just kind

262
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: of sad, but also pretty predictable. The Bulls we saw

263
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: that last dance, all those guys they hated the GM.

264
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: Michael doesn't ever do anything with the Bulls. Scotti and

265
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Michael hate each other. It's all over egos because it's

266
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: easy to point the finger at someone else when things

267
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: are shitty. What about when things go great? Who actually

268
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: gets the credit? And it's a downfall of all of

269
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: ours because we all like to raise our hand and

270
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: probably get more credit than we deserve. Netflix. I defended

271
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime a couple of years ago when they got

272
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football, and I even defended Peacock last year

273
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: when a lot of people push back. I understand not

274
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: everyone has unlimited money to buy all these things, but

275
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: the reality of the television industry is the cable box

276
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: is doa and it's never coming back. What we have

277
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: gotten used to over the last fifteen twenty years is

278
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: never going to be the same. So the world we

279
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: live in right now, we're at the early stages. Even

280
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: though Netflix has been around a while and Hulu and

281
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: some of these companies now it's not like they're one

282
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: year old, but their impact when it comes to the

283
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: way we consume things is.

284
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: At the very very beginning.

285
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: And Boomerosiasin said on his radio show that look for

286
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,359
Speaker 1: Netflix to get the Christmas Games, and most people.

287
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: Be like, oh, why don't you put it on CBS?

288
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: Put it on ABC.

289
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: You do understand that those channels how we view them,

290
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: right now, there's a chance in ten years they will

291
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: not be around. There's a chance in five years it's

292
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: not even possible to get the cable box. It will

293
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: not exist. It probably will, But if you don't think

294
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: there's a chance, then I don't know what world you're

295
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: living in.

296
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: Now.

297
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: I understand that, depending on where you live, having the

298
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: power of the Internet is in portant to streaming on

299
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: your television, and that impacts how you are as a viewer,

300
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: and that sucks. I can't relate.

301
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: Because I spent a lot of money.

302
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: I have the good Internet now, granted I need it

303
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: for my job. But Netflix is gonna get a Christmas game.

304
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: It clearly looks like and I actually think that Tom

305
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: brady roast is a good example. And I always use

306
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: me as a consumer. My mom watches Netflix every day.

307
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: She's in her mid seventies. When I lay down at

308
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: bed at night, like when we get in bed, after

309
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: you brush your teeth or whatever, you're just gonna watch

310
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: a television show. We never go to YouTube TV, which

311
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: is obviously not the cable box, but just where you

312
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: would watch television. The first place we go, and I

313
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: think the first place most people go is Netflix. I

314
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: have sympathy if you had to download and pay for

315
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: the Peacock app, because that's not something that everyone has

316
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: and is like consistantly and everyone's home. It's in mind

317
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: because she loves whether it's below Deck or summer House

318
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: to some of the Bravo shows. And I would imagine

319
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people my age, either their girlfriend or

320
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: wife uses Peacock heavily because of that catalog. I don't

321
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: really watch it beside for it usually has golf stuff

322
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: for like the US Open, so I've used it before,

323
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: but I don't think we can say that about Netflix.

324
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: And I actually think Tom Brady the Roast is a

325
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: good example. It'll be fascinating once the news finally leaks

326
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: of how many people have watched that show, if it

327
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: ever does. But I think a large contingent of people

328
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: just stumbled upon it, like in nineteen ninety eight when

329
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: I would just stumble upon, oh the Grammys are on,

330
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: or oh the Oscars are on, or oh this show

331
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: was on, which used to happen and doesn't really happen anymore.

332
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: But the one thing Netflix has, being by far the

333
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: biggest streaming service, is the power to control everything. Whenever

334
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: I see the top ten trending. Are they really the

335
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: top ten trending or those the ones they want to

336
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: put right there, the most popular ten movies going right now?

337
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: Are those actually the most watched movies right now? Or

338
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: is that what they want to promote and their power

339
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: to promote this and that Brady thing. It really stood

340
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: out like they could easily get in bed with Monday

341
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: night or Sunday Night football when everyone's sitting down turning

342
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: on Netflix, Boom, Sunday Night Football on, everyone's sitting down

343
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: turning on Boom. Monday Night Football is on. And Amazon

344
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: Prime was kind of the first mover when it came

345
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: to getting involved from a streaming platform with the NFL

346
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: and Thursday night football. Let's face it, I'm not saying

347
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: like the broadcast, I wish it was a little better,

348
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: but just talking about the product, how easy it is

349
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: to consume for me at least and I think most people,

350
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: because last year at average thirteen million people is a

351
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: great example. Well, guess what is way more popular as

352
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: a streaming service than Amazon Prime. Netflix? And like Amazon

353
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: who is flush with unlimited money.

354
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: Netflix.

355
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: So when you look at this next television deal, I

356
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: think these partners are in major trouble. NBC is bleeding

357
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: money right now, and if they spend all this on

358
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the NBA, which rumors are they might, they will have

359
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: no choice but to be aggressive for the NFL, just

360
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: like all these networks, they need them. But how can

361
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: you compete against Netflix? If Apple wanted it, you can't

362
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: compete against them. There is no competition. It's like putting

363
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: a Walmart next to your little mom and pop shop.

364
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: Business is usually done within twelve months. They have absolutely

365
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: no shot and Netflix is proven with that. To me,

366
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady roast that like live events can really work.

367
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Now the logistics of would they have to get their

368
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: their own you know broadcasters. Could they just do a

369
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: partnership with Fox or CBS and just use one of

370
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: their crews, which I think they gladly would, or maybe

371
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: they will just get into the business on their own

372
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: and buy some trucks and kind of get it dip

373
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: their toe. They really can do whatever they want. And

374
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: I've been saying this forever that the Jerry Jones generation

375
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: of Jerry Jones, robber Craft, the older owners, the Rooneyes,

376
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: h just the Maras are going to be very very

377
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: loyal to CBS, to NBC to ABC. Their children simply

378
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: will not, And honestly, it doesn't even make sense for

379
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: the older generation though. They can look at the traditional

380
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: broadcast partners as the ones who's made them billions, the

381
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: ones who essentially bought their yachts, But younger generations aren't

382
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: loyal when it comes to business.

383
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: I saw with my.

384
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: Parents they would use the same people to do the

385
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: same things, no matter what it's like, Mom, you're gonna

386
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: redo the kitchen. This guy's like screwed up three kitchens. Well,

387
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: we've known this guy for twenty five years. He's a good, close, personal.

388
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Friend of your dad. We're gonna use him.

389
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: That's not really how me or my friends are wired,

390
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: just cause I know you. If your work's not good,

391
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: if your price is too hig, I'll go with someone else.

392
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: And you look at the age of some of these

393
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: up and coming kids. They're not twenty years old, but

394
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: they're not seventy. And these companies are going to be

395
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: able to throw astronomical amounts of money out there. And

396
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: I just think that the next go around, the way

397
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: we're consuming these these NFL games in twenty thirty will

398
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: not look anywhere near like we're doing it now, and

399
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: they've dipped their tote enough to start, and they're only

400
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: getting more and more aggressive. Amazon Prime Thursday Night YouTube

401
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: TV gets the package. Buckle up because I'm actually excited.

402
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I actually think it's easier. Okay, Fugazi Friday will bank

403
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: some out. It's funny the some of you get, some

404
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: people push back, some people get angry. It's like, God, everyone,

405
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: this is just it's fun.

406
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: It's not that big a deal.

407
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: You know. First, Fugazi Friday, hope this makes the pod.

408
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: If you did have hair, because the one thing consistently

409
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: with Fugazi Friday, everybody forwards.

410
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: Me tipping memes, tipping reels.

411
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: The tipping thing is I think one thing we all

412
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: relate to. If you did have hair, would you tip

413
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: your barber ten bucks if it already costs twenty five

414
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: to cut your hair. I'm asking because I usually tip

415
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: my guy ten after I pay twenty five, and he's

416
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: been cutting hair for over five years now, so I

417
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: figured it's just a better service. But since watching your

418
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: rants on the tipping culture, I've been questioning it. Your thoughts, well,

419
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: I haven't had hair since twenty.

420
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: Eleven, so we're going on a while I've been bald.

421
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: And sometimes, you know, as you age, the longer you

422
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: get away from something, you start thinking like, what was

423
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: that like? Definitely, whether it's looking back on memories from

424
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: college or someone you dated, or you know, a trip

425
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: you went on, you have the good parts of the memory,

426
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: but there's a lot missing. Maybe that's just me. Maybe

427
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: my brain's just kind of doesn't have the capacity of.

428
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: Some of you guys.

429
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: I can't even remember what it was like sitting in.

430
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: A chair and getting my haircut. Now.

431
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: I remember being a kid and my dad taking me

432
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: to the Wrestler Brothers. It was these two guys and

433
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: Davis that had you know, it was the equivalent of

434
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: like a sports bar, but it was a barber shop.

435
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: It was cool back then. You know, haircut costs, and

436
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: I think my dad would just give the guy a

437
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: twenty and would just, you know, classic, just give me

438
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: a buzz cut every time pisses me off. Thinking about

439
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: all I wanted was long hair and you never would

440
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: let me grow it out. But uh, and then you know, obviously,

441
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: then I get older, I don't even have hair. I

442
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: think it's more than fair.

443
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 2: And this is the whole thing with.

444
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: Tippingal The only fugazis with tipping is when you're like, God,

445
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: this service was terrible. Part of giving someone extra money

446
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: is like, God, you earn that. And I think with

447
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: a haircut, and again it's hard for me to speak

448
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: because I shaved my head in a shower, is that. Yeah,

449
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: I think one hundred percent you should tip the guy.

450
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: Hell, if you.

451
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Really like the guy, I'd get him like a you know,

452
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars gift card at the end of the year,

453
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: especially if you go all the time. I'd say twenty

454
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: five dollars haircut in twenty twenty four seems like a

455
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: pretty good deal, not really in the mix of the

456
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: price points for the service, but especially if you liked

457
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: the guy we got. I got a lot of DMS

458
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: on the fugazis of weddings and the prices, So here's one.

459
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Just watch Fugazi Friday. I think big weddings are a fugazi.

460
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: My wife and I got married in twenty one and

461
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: COVID gave us an out from having a big, expensive wedding.

462
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: We rented a huge house with a pool in a

463
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: in Cape Coral and had our immediate family and close

464
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: friends come down probably thirty five people total cost us

465
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: maybe seventy five hundred dollars, and everyone said it was

466
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: the best wedding they've ever been to. I think weddings

467
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: are just very.

468
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 2: Very personal, you know.

469
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: So I understand people complaining on Friday weddings because you

470
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: got to take time off work and especially if you're

471
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: in it to get to the rehearsal dinner. But I

472
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: defended that given the cost of it, and let's face it,

473
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: I had someone who's having these conversations.

474
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: There are much different.

475
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Wants and needs, usually of the men and the woman.

476
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: So I understand it. And depending on your family situation,

477
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: I saw someone else reach out as like, yeah, these

478
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I trust me. I've been to a couple

479
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 1: of stores these rings, So it's not even just the wedding,

480
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: it's the cost of a ring. They are not cheap either,

481
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: so you factor in all these costs. That's how I

482
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: would do it the way that you just described it.

483
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: But I understand if she wants a great wedding and

484
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: her family has the money for it.

485
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

486
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: I think the costs of everything, I just understand all

487
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: the sides. When it comes to this fugazi Friday, the

488
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: Lakers firing Darvin Ham Like, it's not the front office's

489
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: fault for not giving him braun an ad more help

490
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: to beat the best team in the NBA, I think anytime.

491
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: And this is my favorite part about the NBA. The

492
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: Suns a couple hours ago just fired Frank Vogel. Is

493
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: when a coach is hired and these talking show the

494
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: talk shows that talk about the NBA act like it

495
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, Like, think about this. The Bucks have

496
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: fired multiple coaches in like twelve months. That's a Jannis

497
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: Antta kumpo. Whenever a Lebron coach gets fired, that is

498
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Now sometimes it's right, maybe the guy's not

499
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: any good. But Kevin Durant just and Devin Booker just

500
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: got Frank Vogel fired. That's the way the NBA works,

501
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: which is what I like about the NFL. If you

502
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: get fired as a coach in the NFL, your relationships

503
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: with players good and bad, it's it's kind of irrelevant.

504
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: If you win on Sunday, you will keep your job.

505
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: If you lose, you will not. If your offense or defense,

506
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: if you're a coordinator, is not good, you're done. Whether

507
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: guys like you or they don't like you. It's very

508
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: very you know, black and white. We're in the NBA.

509
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: It's like, eh, both those situations with the Lakers and

510
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: the Suns, they weren't even into the locker room as

511
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: they lost their series, and Shams came out with articles

512
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: about both, about the deterioration of the relationship, about the schemes,

513
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: about the rotations. It's like, this is I mean, and

514
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these guys are Phil Jackson in his prime,

515
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: but holy shit, like no one is winning with the

516
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant situation at this point in time. He just

517
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: wants to show up, score some points, go home, get high.

518
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: Lebron and Anthony Davis.

519
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: The team the third best player or fourth best players,

520
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Russell. But this is what happens. We talked about

521
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: early pointing the finger. Polink Ain't Polinko always point the finger.

522
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: The guy's running through coaches like Matt he could say, well,

523
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: it's my job to keep up the relationship with Lebron.

524
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: It's just so fake because the players, the star players

525
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: who get the coach fired, they never admit to it.

526
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: They never admit to it. Where it's like, what are

527
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: we fucking talk?

528
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 2: We know you got him fired, we know you did.

529
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: I would respect him.

530
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: It's like, listen, I didn't think he was any good,

531
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: he didn't know what he was doing. I didn't respect him.

532
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: At the end, he had to go at them. We've

533
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: all thought that about our bosses. Most human beings don't

534
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: have the juice to fire their boss. We all of

535
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: us have worked for incompetent people. Darvin Ham had them

536
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference finals last year. Frank Vogel's proven

537
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: to be pretty good. So you get with most of

538
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: these star players, the moment they want you gone, You're gone.

539
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: It's just that simple. It has nothing to me to

540
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: do with the front office. The moment Kevin Duran or

541
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Devin Booker goes to the owner says I want this

542
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: guy gone, he's gone. I got a Fugazi Friday for

543
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: you paying for Spotify Premium and using to listen to

544
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: music and podcasts ad free. Then turn around and the

545
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: podcast start with six minutes of ads. Well, here's the thing,

546
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: how can Spotify if I read ads in my podcast,

547
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: in my content? They can't cut it out. Those ads

548
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: for us in the podcast.

549
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: Business pay a lot, so there.

550
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: It's not even a hack. It's just the business. They

551
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: control ads that they put in. So if I put

552
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: this podcast on Spotify, you, I'm sure will hear ads

553
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: that aren't my voice, and if you pay for the premium,

554
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: Spotify will take that out. But if I read an ad,

555
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: they can't remove that. So it's we've learned ways to

556
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: get away around that. So I feel you luckily, and

557
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I've said this, I'm not a cheap guy,

558
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: but I don't pay for any ad free on any

559
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: of those. I'll just be like at the gym, listen

560
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: to Pandora, and all of a sudden I'll get an

561
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: AD for some you know, barbecue joint in Fresno. Because

562
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: back in the day when I signed up for Pandora

563
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: in like twenty ten, i lived in Fresno. So still

564
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: to this.

565
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: Day, fifteen fourteen years later, I still.

566
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: Get Fresno ads, you know, between sets, between like you know,

567
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: it depends how three or four songs. Sometimes if you

568
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: skip too much, they'll show you an AD. Not I'm

569
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: not paying for ad free. I'm loving the Fugazi Fridays.

570
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: I have one that I've been meaning throughout for a

571
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: while and finally remembered to share comments sections. Honestly, what

572
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: are we doing? You read these, whether it's Twitter or Facebook, YouTube,

573
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: et cetera, it's always either I like this or some

574
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: something negative like your content sucks, which is even funny

575
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: because that means that person is actually tuning in to

576
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: something they don't like. Sometimes you have the crowd that

577
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: chimes in I totally agree, and then proceeds to restate

578
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: the same point as the podcaster, like they're trying to

579
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: make it about them. Very rarely does anyone actually chime

580
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: in with a new perspective, and even then I just

581
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: don't understand the mindset it takes to shout these things

582
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: into the Internet void for a few strangers and likely bots.

583
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm crazy. My thing with YouTube is I love

584
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: listening to live music. So if you just type in

585
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: whatever you want to hear, and I like typing in

586
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: whoever the artist is acoustic, right if I'm in the mood.

587
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: If I hear a song at the gym and I

588
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: get back, it's like boom Bomb acoustic or boom Boom live,

589
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: and all the comments will be like, let's just use

590
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: an example, like let's just say I throw on like Metallica,

591
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: Metallica Acoustic. Turn the page from like nineteen ninety nine

592
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: or you know an old video. All the comments if

593
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: you just search newest will be like remember when music

594
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: was great?

595
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: You just don't hear music liked.

596
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: All these losers now playing music would die to sound

597
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: everything in a weird way is like complimentary but a shot.

598
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it was just a good song, Like

599
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: it's fine.

600
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: Music today music always?

601
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what's funny is I remember driving around

602
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: with my dad a lot when I was a kid.

603
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: He was a farmer, so I used to take me

604
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: to the fields and stuff, bonding whatever, drive around, and

605
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: he listened to music from the sixties and the seventies

606
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: when he was young and growing up. And for the

607
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: most part, especially when I was really young, I was like,

608
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: this music sucks.

609
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: And then the older you get, you're like.

610
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: God, I like that music and you can easily listen

611
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: to it. And he thought the same about mine.

612
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: He's like, what the fuck are you listening to?

613
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: It'd be like a you know, doggy style from Snoop Dogg,

614
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 1: like throw on track three, dad, you know, and he

615
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: just didn't like it. But as you get older, you

616
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of like what your parents listen to, you like

617
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: what you grew up listening to, and then the new

618
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: music now. I like, I was thinking about this today

619
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: in the shower.

620
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 2: Do new bands exist? Like?

621
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: Do new bands like Nirvana, Pearl, Jam, Metallica and obviously

622
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: go back well before them?

623
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 2: Whoever?

624
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: Bands from the eighties? Then it just felt like the seventies, Ozzie.

625
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: You name it, They're just bands. Do bands exists?

626
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: Like rappers still exists? A country music stars still exists?

627
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: I also thought do R and B singers still exist?

628
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, one O two five in

629
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: Sacramento was the big like I would say hip hop channel,

630
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: but for every rap song there were multiple R and

631
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: B songs played.

632
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: R and B was huge in the nineties.

633
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: Does that genre exist anymore? I mean they were some

634
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in music. Boys the Men easily

635
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest groups of my life.

636
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: Any genre.

637
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: When when Eddie de Bartolow when the forty nine ers

638
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: shut down Candlestick in what was the last year he

639
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: was playing there, twenty thirteen is the It was the

640
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: game where Navarro Bowman picked off Matt Ryan the pick

641
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: of the stick.

642
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 2: It was sweet.

643
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: I was on the field. It was badass. I was

644
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: standing right next to Chris Berman. It's one of the

645
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: coolest moments in my sport life. I remember looking up

646
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: the place going nuts. They had a huge like after

647
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: everyone stayed, they had a stage. Eddie de Bartelow's favorite band,

648
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: I guess was Boys to the Men and they played a

649
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: bunch of songs. I think the bass guy is like,

650
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he got sick or you're not

651
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: even in the group anymore. But it was only three

652
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: of them. But it hit me the other day like

653
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. But I'm telling you, if you're my

654
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: age or older, go listen to a song from like

655
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: the seventies, eighties, nineties, whatever, and just look at all

656
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: the comments. It basically is just shitting on music today.

657
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: And I've never understood, Like I've always liked music, Like

658
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,959
Speaker 1: what kind of music you listened to? I'm like, whatever's good,

659
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: Like I listened to more often than not certain things.

660
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: But if something is good, I'm gonna like it. But

661
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: yet it feels like, at least on the internet, everyone

662
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: just talking shit. And let's face it, pep are kind

663
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: of angry. Most people aren't happy. Hell I'm sometimes I

664
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: wake up today, as a good example, just woke up.

665
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't that happy, didn't feel like smiling, just felt

666
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: like not having a bad day. But I wasn't gonna

667
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: have a great day, not from a production standpoint, but

668
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: just from uh, I'm not gonna be in a good mood.

669
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: I just kind of want to be in a bad mood.

670
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: If I was the equivalent of that, my comments would

671
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: be negative. And I think majority of people that comment

672
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: are just in a bad frame of mind. So I'm

673
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: with you now that that's why I don't even spend

674
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: that much time on Twitter anymore, because it's been it's

675
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: been the same now for like a decade. It's just

676
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of I've always said it's the radicals country

677
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: club because there's no entry free, no entry fee. So

678
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: anyone who's angry and obsessed with whatever spends time there

679
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and just fucking talk shit. It's all useless and pointless.

680
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: It's just irrelevant at the end of the day too,

681
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: So I just I don't spend.

682
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 2: Very much time in there anymore.

683
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: I spend way more time on YouTube. But you can

684
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: it's easier to avoid the comments there because the point

685
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: of the app is the video, but when you go

686
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: through the comments, like, it's kind of the same thing. Now,

687
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: sometimes you get a powerful thing like hey, this song

688
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: really helped me get through a tough time Like that,

689
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: that's powerful. I think you get some of that too,

690
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I just think comments in general,

691
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, tend to be pretty negative. Fugazi Friday watching

692
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: First Take this morning, and one of the topics was

693
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: the WNBA committing fifty million dollars for charter flights, so

694
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: meaning the NBA is helping out. Lol. It's hilarious to

695
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: me with some of these topics for professional women's sports,

696
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: like why can't we just be honest like we do

697
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: in men's sports. I'm not saying these girls or gals

698
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: aren't professionals or good athletes, but let's be real about it.

699
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: The best way to actually help women's sports succeed is

700
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: to move the WNBA and soccer teams to smaller cities.

701
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: We don't have any professional team, and I would bet

702
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: that they would be much more successful and popular because

703
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: people actually go to the games. I thought one of

704
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: the dumbest things I've ever seen in my entire life

705
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: was the reaction to Caitlin Clark's contract. Like, you guys know,

706
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: this league's never turned to profit. Ethan Strauss has been

707
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: writing about it forever. That the reason that you see

708
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: the ads because if me and you own a company

709
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: and we buy fifty million dollars worth of advertising for

710
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: the NBA, it's built into the contract that the WNBA

711
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: gets it two but the money is going to the NBA,

712
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: who is subsidized in the WNBA. Now for the first time,

713
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: for the first time, there is someone that I would

714
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: say universally people are interested in the college women's basketball

715
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: has had great players for decades, I mean superstar players, right,

716
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: they were very famous in the sporting world. I think

717
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark has passed that. Now you get that level

718
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: of hype or you got to live up to it.

719
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: And if you do, I think she could help the

720
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: WNBA out a lot, at least for her team and

721
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: whenever she's playing.

722
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna pay attention, but.

723
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: You couldn't pay me, like the majority people I know

724
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: to watch one of those games that doesn't have her Yet,

725
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: all these women associated with the WNBA, we're all like

726
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: taking shots at her, Like, are are you guys morons?

727
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: She is your opportunity to be a rocket ship, to

728
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: make way more money, to bring way more people into

729
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: the sport. Again, I hate comparing her to this, but

730
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: I remember when Tiger Woods got on the scene. All

731
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: the old stiff you know guys on tour, we're all

732
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: talking shit about him. It's like, do you realize if

733
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: he's good, his importance to your bank account it will

734
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: grow dramatically. Everyone's like, I can't believe Caitlin Clark's making

735
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: seventy five grand. Well the industry she works and makes

736
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: no money, Like, what do you think is going on

737
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: the investment The banker at twenty five makes one hundred

738
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: and fifty grand, Well, yeah, he works for Chase Bank.

739
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: They're printing cash. And this is why does Tatum make

740
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: fifty million? Because the NBA makes whatever, five billion dollars.

741
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: Never understood people screaming.

742
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: About salaries or equality of pay in terms of sports.

743
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: Like it's pretty black and white.

744
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: It's all based on revenue, how most industries are. I

745
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: can't speak to everyone, but I'm with you. I mean,

746
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Caitlin Clark to succeed, not because I

747
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: care about the WNBA, because I think she's an interesting story,

748
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: and if she is awesome and a superstar, I'll pay attention,

749
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: just like I'm sure many people listening. It doesn't mean

750
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch every one of her dribbles, but the

751
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: more and more they've never had me, and I may

752
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: die hard. I've literally dedicated my life talking about and

753
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: working in sports and they've never had me. And now

754
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: they finally get me, and people go on television and

755
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: like start pushing back against her, like, God, you guys

756
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: are such morons. You guys, if any of you guys

757
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: ran a business, all of you would be out of it.

758
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: You guys would go bankrupt.

759
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: And it just shows you like they've been you know,

760
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the NBA give David Stern credit for creating this and

761
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: Adam Solber for promoting it, but you need star power

762
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: and she is that. So the charter flights like that

763
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: was another story. It's like, yeah, they don't have charter flights?

764
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: What business that doesn't make any money? Charters flights, Elizabeth

765
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: Thanos SBF even though he actually sneaking making money, he

766
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: was just also siphoning money.

767
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 2: That's a whole another story. But yeah, I don't get hell.

768
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to fly private too. Don't make enough to

769
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: do that, so I'll get on Southwest for one hundred

770
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: fifty bucks. Okay, middle Cooff mailbag at John Middlecoff at

00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: good looking bro. I don't even think this is a question,

777
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: and I would say on the aggregate, Michael Jordan is

778
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: obviously bigger than Tiger Woods.

779
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 2: It just didn't.

780
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: I think Michael Jordan, at least in my life, is

781
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: easily the biggest athlete ever you could argue in the

782
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: history of time. But Michael Jordan inherited a bird magic

783
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: NBA that was starting to gain a lot of traction,

784
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: had a lot of momentum.

785
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: The sport was not not making.

786
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, trajectory up. So to me, while Michael was

787
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: enormous in his impact as you factory in like shoes

788
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: and stuff, but like I said the other day on Tiger,

789
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: his impact on business casual changed society. Someone sent me

790
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: a DM the other day that was like, that was

791
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: dead on that. That is the look. It's the Khaki

792
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: polo look. So to me, when you factor in the sport,

793
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: Tiger didn't move the needle. He was the needle. He

794
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: literally changed golf. Michael didn't change basketball, he just elevated

795
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: it very, very highly. But because Tiger took over something

796
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: that was much lower, it's to me it just has

797
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: to be him. And we've seen versions of Michael since.

798
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Kobe was a massive, massive star. Obviously, Lebron

799
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: and Steph.

800
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: Were never sniffing Tiger again, not even close. What sucks

801
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: because we're better off with stars, and it's one of

802
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: the reasons, you know, golf is hurting. It's one of

803
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: these reasons these other sports they just get such famous

804
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: stars so fast. You know, football creates them quickly, and

805
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: the NBA creates them quickly too. The NBA, though, sometimes

806
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: tries to tell you someone's better than they are, but

807
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 1: eventually the cream rises. Question for the back, the Falcons

808
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: draft Pennis and claim their plan is for Cousins to

809
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: be good and Penis to start in four or five years.

810
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: So Plan A was to keep Pennix from going to

811
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: a team where he could play right away. Plan B

812
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: was the bench Cousins and light one hundred million dollars

813
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: on fire. This sounds like what you would do if

814
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: you hated Cousins, Pennis and the Falcons and wanted to

815
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: make them suffer. I'm having Michael Lombardi on the podcast

816
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: and he's been talking about.

817
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 2: This for a while.

818
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: The whole point of a front office, Like all these

819
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: scouts right now, the draft just ended, they will start

820
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: like diving in headfirst to the prospects this fall, right now,

821
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: writing reports, getting initial information right now, banging out especially

822
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: on the top guys, right the top, several round guys.

823
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: It's not like you're banging out undrafted free agents. But

824
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: if you have the West Coast, you would go and

825
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: start watching the big schools, like who does sc have,

826
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: Who does Oregon have, Oregon State have, anybody? Obviously Washington, Utah?

827
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: You would start gathering and what and you've watched them

828
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: a little bit, but like studying them right now, so

829
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: the process and then you start funneling names to your GM.

830
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: Literally during OTAs you're like, hey, check out this guy,

831
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: so he in the off season can start watching those

832
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: guys to have Penix just crop up on you. It

833
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: was just felt like they were flying by the seat

834
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: of their pants. Here's what I will say. A lot

835
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: of reports pen or not panics, but cousins is mad.

836
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:05,879
Speaker 2: You don't get to.

837
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 1: Be mad when you take the most money, when you

838
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: become a mercenary. Eventually the team doesn't care about you

839
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: like you think they should, because they go, that's what

840
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: the money's for. You don't get to dictate all the terms.

841
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: We gave you forty five million dollars a year. Tough shit,

842
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: suck it up. He's like, well, Minnesota was just transparent

843
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: with me. They said they were gonna draft a quarterback.

844
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: You guys never said shit yet we don't know you

845
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: that that's what the money's for.

846
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 2: And I do believe that.

847
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Like, I don't think Atlanta should worry about cousins, like

848
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: being mad at them, but it does impact their locker room.

849
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:41,919
Speaker 2: So it's it's tough.

850
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of a double edged sword, like, suck it up.

851
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 2: Bro, you're thirty.

852
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: Five, thirty six years old, You've made three hundred million dollars,

853
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: we're about to pay you forty five a year. Play well,

854
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: but also like you're pretty dependent on his mental capacity

855
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 1: or mental headspace.

856
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 2: For your team.

857
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: It gets back to why would you want to put

858
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: him in a weird mental space? It just feels like

859
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 1: poor team building. It really does set it all along.

860
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 1: If you could have a redo, right, a mulligan, as

861
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: we like to call it on the golf course, the

862
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons would assign Christian Wilkins and like a Gardner

863
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: Minshew and the Raiders would assigned Kirk.

864
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,959
Speaker 2: Cousins and everyone would be happy.

865
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: We'd be like Gather Raiders, Davante, Bowers, Crosby might got

866
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: a little something. Instead, Raiders have bent you and the

867
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: Cardinal or the Falcons have Cousins and panics. After the draft,

868
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: every analyst, media figure and most podcasters speak highly of

869
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: so many picks and say that so many guys are

870
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: great fits and will work out. We know that this

871
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 1: is historically just not true, but it is always the

872
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: same post draft formula. I refuse to believe that former

873
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: scouts just think it's all going to go smooth. If

874
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: you had to pick a couple guys from the first

875
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: round where you say, Nope, this guy won't be getting

876
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: a second deal with this team, whether due to fit, coach, player, etc.

877
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: Who would those guys be. I know it's a bit

878
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: of a faux pas to drop specific names and just

879
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: say they won't work, but I'd love to hear your

880
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: honest take why. I think it's easy to be positive

881
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 1: in the first round because you go, all these guys

882
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: draft in the first round were good in college, I

883
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: mean really good, right, Michael Panics, Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels,

884
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: Malik Neighbors, Roma doon z La to Byron Murphy, Like

885
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: all the players were fucking sweet on Saturday. Some are

886
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: a little better than others, but let's face it, if

887
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: you just look at the list, all of them all conference,

888
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: all American dominating for playoff teams or conference champion teams,

889
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,240
Speaker 1: Like none of these guys, it's easy to go like, God,

890
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: the Bronco signed mcglinche, right, he's like did you watch

891
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,240
Speaker 1: his tape last year? But you can't really say that

892
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: you could do. Nate Wiggins is a little small, but

893
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: you watched him at Clemson. He was kicking ass and

894
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: taking names. So I think that's where it's fair to go, like,

895
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: these guys are all really good players. A big reason

896
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: guys don't work out is because of like fit or

897
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: a coach or organization. So it's you got to pick

898
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks you'd go like Historically, running quarterbacks can be

899
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: pretty hit or miss. I like Adam Peters and the organization.

900
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: But you'd say you're depending on Cliff Kingsbury. That's who

901
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: you're depending on. That's pretty risky. I could see that

902
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: one going sideways one year. Wonder Drake may needs a

903
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: lot of work. We need to break down the fundamentals

904
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: and get his feet and upper body in sync.

905
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 2: Well.

906
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 1: Belichick, Bill O'Brien and Josh McDaniels will do well. Actually

907
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: it's Drod Mao and Alex Van Pelt. I can see

908
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 1: that one going sideways pretty fast. Right the Pennock situation,

909
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: it could just what if Cousins just plays three? You know, like,

910
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Where are you at? What if

911
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: he just doesn't play now? I would be stunned if

912
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't play earlier than later.

913
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: I would say the.

914
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: Receivers, Malik Neighbors, He's a speed wide receiver going to

915
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,879
Speaker 1: a team that no quarterback and their starting quarterback coming

916
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 1: off in acl I think we all agree isn't very

917
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: good and not exactly Mahomes and Josh Allen throwing bombs

918
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: that could be a disaster. Lat too, who is a stud.

919
00:50:56,040 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, he's gonna dominate. Two years ago, Penix

920
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: had injuries that no one ever said you'd never play again.

921
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: He just had to rehab and get back on the field.

922
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: A doctor literally looked at him and said, you need

923
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: to retire because your neck is that messed up. Not

924
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: like your ab or a quad or something that's degenerative,

925
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: your neck. He plays defensive line where you literally hit

926
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: your neck on an offensive lineman or running back or

927
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: tackling whoever, every single play, not even just in the games,

928
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,320
Speaker 1: in every practice, your neck.

929
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: Is in a collision.

930
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: Loll I like to pick. I like the Colts, but

931
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: that's a little scary.

932
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean, that's really kind of scary. And then all

933
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: these corners.

934
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles corner was pretty legit, but the other guys,

935
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, kool Aid had a down year. What's his

936
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: name that the Lions took uh Terry on Armstead, who

937
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: I think said that it was a coin flip between

938
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: I think in the Lions takem maybe speaking of a

939
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: turn brain's not exactly working, but it was a coin

940
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: flip the Raiders taking him at thirteen and the rape.

941
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce came out and said, that's bs. We're always

942
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 1: going with Bowers. I think a lot of teams when

943
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: they talk to a guy, they're just being nice, like, listen,

944
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,240
Speaker 1: we liked you a lot. It was a coin flip.

945
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, I liked you a lot of just

946
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: not really in the mood for a relationship. You're just

947
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 1: trying to be nice to the other person. But I

948
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of top fifteen guys cannot work out you.

949
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, uh, Marvin Harrison, what if just Kyler keeps

950
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: getting hurt? What if Kyler got hurt again? He's been

951
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: hurt multiple times in his career. What's Larry Fitzgerald, who's

952
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: one of the greatest players ever at that position, Larry

953
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald in his prime, all time great, had countless years.

954
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,959
Speaker 2: We're just playing with nobody's So.

955
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 1: I've kind of been talked out of the Joe all

956
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: to everyone I know feels good about him, ability to

957
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 1: bend at six ' nine or six ' eight. And

958
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: if Harbball likes you, I just if Harbball likes you

959
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: as an offensive lineman, I believe you so hopefully that

960
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: was enough guys.

961
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 2: To crush right there.

962
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 1: And again it's I say it all the time. I'm

963
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: actually much more comfortable crushing coaches in front office people

964
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: than I am players because I respect it's way harder now.

965
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: It's hard to be a coach. You know, just in

966
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: time that you spend a lot of time in the office.

967
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: But just because you spend a lot of time doing

968
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: something doesn't mean you're any good. If you play in

969
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. Definitely, if you get draft in the first round,

970
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: that is an incredible accomplishment that your friends like I

971
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: can get to become an offensive coordinator because my friend

972
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: becomes the head coach, or I can become a defensive

973
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: line coach in the NFL because a guy I've known

974
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: forever becomes the defensive coordinator, doesn't mean I'm actually any good.

975
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 1: You can't luck into being the eighth pick or the

976
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: twelfth pick, or the thirtieth pick or the fiftieth pick.

977
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 2: You have to do that on your own.

978
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: And even if you play in the NFL and struggle, like.

979
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: How many humans you know that play in the NFL,

980
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 2: it's not easy.

981
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of respect even for guys

982
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: that don't live up to the hype or fail. Now

983
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: if you fail like JaMarcus because you're drinking the purple

984
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: syrup whatever whatever they called that, what was that drink?

985
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: The purple drink, and you're just or Johnny Manziel, you're

986
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: bragging about doing blow and hanging out in Vegas the

987
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: night before games because you just you know, took off.

988
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:26,319
Speaker 1: Like I don't respect that.

989
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: But if you're.

990
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,760
Speaker 1: Legitimately trying and you're just not good enough, it's hard.

991
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: But I have I have.

992
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for anyone that gets

993
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: that plays in the NFL, that gets drafted in the NFL,

994
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: that holds on, who struggles like a fringe player like that.

995
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: Shit's hard, really hard, and it's cutthroat, like they'll get

996
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: rid of you at the moment's notice.

997
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 2: I've been part of it.

998
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: I've been in these meetings like you're just you're kind

999
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: of viewed.

1000
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: As a widget. It's like you're not good enough.

1001
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: Upgrade the cut this guy with the practice squad bringing

1002
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: this guy kickers hurt.

1003
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 2: Oh, we need an after extra roster spot.

1004
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: Get rid of that guy. I listen to you every

1005
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: podcast and respect your insight. I'm a Raider fan, But

1006
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: I love Anthony Richardson. I don't like the narrative that

1007
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: he's injury prone. The Colts have a history of not

1008
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: protecting their quarterbacks, and I feel like if ERSA signed Taylor,

1009
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: Richardson would not have had to carry the load in

1010
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: the oh I think you mean, oh, sorry, you didn't

1011
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: put a comma here. If they wouldn't assigned tailor, if

1012
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: they would have signed Taylor, Richardson wouldn't have to carry

1013
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: the load in the run game and he could have

1014
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: had a good run at Rookie of the year. He

1015
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: was running and passing because the franchise didn't protect him

1016
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 1: and sabotaged his rookie season. What do you like about

1017
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: that or what do you think about that take?

1018
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 2: I don't know his one.

1019
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: His shoulder injury was one of the least violent tackles

1020
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: of his short career. It was pretty innocuous tackle that

1021
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: gets made basically every other play in the NFL, and

1022
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: it ruined a season. He had a play which he's

1023
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: always going to have because he's got a little Cam

1024
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: Newton to him with his size and power in the

1025
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: end zone where he I think either dove in or

1026
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: got hit late, and I think he got a concussion

1027
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 1: that he is just going to be part of some

1028
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 1: big collisions. I do think it's part of his play

1029
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 1: style because I think his comp is a little more

1030
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,439
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and when you are Cam Newton, like I'd

1031
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 1: run too. He's bigger and stronger than everyone else. But Cam,

1032
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: at least early on in his career, could withstand this,

1033
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: and he didn't. As much. We can talk about all

1034
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: we want the pussification of football. These they're not as

1035
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: big and you can't hit the quarterback, but these linebackers

1036
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: and safeties are all running like four fives, four fours,

1037
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: moving at rapid speed. They're not as big as guys

1038
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: in the nineties because it's more smaller in a space game,

1039
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,919
Speaker 1: but they're definitely running faster. So if you're getting hit,

1040
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: you're just gonna take a punishment until he proves that

1041
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: he can sustain. And that's that's the the worry with

1042
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: any running quarterback, because there are gonna be hits that

1043
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna take as a running quarterback that Jared Goff

1044
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: just never will take. It doesn't mean Jared Goff can't

1045
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 1: get hurt, but there is a part of his pie

1046
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: chart as a player, right, Like he can only get

1047
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: hurt really in the pocket, because that's that's the only

1048
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: place he is.

1049
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees the running quarterback.

1050
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: Really, the whole field is up for grabs because you're

1051
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna scramble a lot outside of the pocket to throw. Well,

1052
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: like what if you're scrambling to throw and it's Roquan

1053
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: Smith out there, his ability to trigger on that and

1054
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: get to you in the blink of an eye or

1055
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: Fred Warner and then when there is open space, you

1056
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: take off like you don't get to the sideline fast enough.

1057
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's out there, Buckle up kid. So I think

1058
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: there's elements of a running quarterback. Some guys don't get injured.

1059
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: But if you think about a lot of unning quarterbacks,

1060
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: like I saw with Michael Vick, he's kind of ran

1061
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: around and got injured. Lamar is great at kind of

1062
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: avoiding it. Cam the pounding overtime, it's the worry with

1063
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It's like the pounding over time, is it

1064
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: going to catch up to him in his younger years.

1065
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: It's football.

1066
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:15,320
Speaker 2: You get hurt.

1067
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: Burrow gets hurt in the pocket. I guess this calf

1068
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: injury last training camp. He was scrambling around, but that

1069
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: could have been a dehydration thing. But I guess my

1070
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: overall point is you can't put a label on him

1071
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: right injury prone not injury prone. But I do think

1072
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: it's fair to say because I don't.

1073
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,959
Speaker 2: Think Jonathan Taylor would have impacted that much.

1074
00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: I really don't, because they're gonna use his legs, maybe

1075
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: a little less now that they're a little nervous. But

1076
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: I think until he proves that he can just play

1077
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: two months straight, it's gonna be a question once you

1078
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: become like, can this guy handle it?

1079
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 2: It's just fair.

1080
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: That's the way people in the league talk, you know,

1081
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: It's not like a narrative that only people in the

1082
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: outside talking about it. Like I think if you just

1083
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: pulled people in the NFL, people like him a lot.

1084
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he blew away people during the draft process,

1085
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: like as a guy character wise, and a lot of

1086
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: people I know loved his physical like people were all.

1087
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 2: In on him.

1088
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: And I just think that guys like that make you

1089
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: nervous when they.

1090
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 2: Get hurt early on.

1091
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: He could have eight straight years where he never gets

1092
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: injured again. But if he gets injured again, like that

1093
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: narrative which he created, not him, but just the situation.

1094
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 2: Will only grow.

1095
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 1: I think the Colts, I think they're gonna be good.

1096
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: I think them and the Texans got like both of

1097
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: them could be eleven.

1098
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 2: To twelve win teams.

1099
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: Whoever doesn't win the division still could be a hell

1100
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 1: of a team, like the Niners and Rams this year,

1101
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: or the Packers and Lions. I think those two teams

1102
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: got a chance to kick some ass. Appreciate everyone listening,

1103
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. Talk to everyone soon. The volume
