Speaker 1: They around the NFL podcast. There's a quiet storm brewing
Speaker 1: from the Chris Westling podcast studio. It's around the NFL.
Speaker 1: I am Dan Hansis. I have heroes along for the ride,
Speaker 1: Greg Rosehal and me are Sessler, but we are we
Speaker 1: are not alone.
Speaker 2: I cannot stand what you've done already.
Speaker 3: What we opened the show previously and you did not
Speaker 3: lace in that insulting intro of me, and then the
Speaker 3: second time around we do it.
Speaker 2: You announce my name that way. Whoa incorrect?
Speaker 1: I love the way whoa cessdog coming in hot and
Speaker 1: I love it to my right legend. Hey, everybody, it's
Speaker 1: Colleen Woolf.
Speaker 2: Yes, got.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Golleen, Thank you.
Speaker 4: This is kind of fun. Reminds me of high school
Speaker 4: catchy little three eleven vibe.
Speaker 1: Yeah you had you had a lot of different phases
Speaker 1: musically in your life.
Speaker 5: I have an eclectic mix of music that I really like.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I was actually just I went to the
Speaker 5: Beach Life Festival and her Mosa and they had the
Speaker 5: Dirty Heads there, which remind me a lot of three eleven.
Speaker 5: So I actually have been listening to a lot of
Speaker 5: three eleven lately randomly.
Speaker 6: So this kind of like fits right in.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised that in ages well enough for getting repeat
Speaker 4: listenings in the year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5: It's more of like a beach vibe, like a three
Speaker 5: eleven radio that brings in some other like reggae tones
Speaker 5: and stuff too.
Speaker 1: Am I the only one person that doesn't hear three
Speaker 1: eleven at all in that song? Really really hear it?
Speaker 1: I hear like a a pop punk type vibe, almost
Speaker 1: like a little maybe a little sky sneaking in there. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: good to see it.
Speaker 5: Well, Hey, god, I know Dan is sick, uh, and
Speaker 5: it's already unnerving me a bit that he's sitting next
Speaker 5: to me. Did not tell me that he had a
Speaker 5: fever yesterday.
Speaker 3: I'd say, yes, he may be sick, but he's brave,
Speaker 3: because it's brave to you know, you know, to you.
Speaker 3: I know you were cuddled up under a quilt at
Speaker 3: home with a fault tough Wednesday. Yeah, and but here
Speaker 3: you are, and so it's like that says a lot
Speaker 3: about you. But also you have exposed us to potential illness.
Speaker 5: So there's a good rebound though, Like, I'm surprised that
Speaker 5: you were as.
Speaker 1: Sick as you say it isn't it is a good rebound.
Speaker 1: I agree, I rebound. You say you were I I
Speaker 1: My wife was giving My wife was giving me a
Speaker 1: hard time this morning that I was perhaps taking the
Speaker 1: symptoms too seriously, which was a total trap because I
Speaker 1: know what she's trying to do. She's trying to I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: she the old insinuation that men handhandle getting a cold.
Speaker 2: Is how she put it, the little c how I put.
Speaker 1: It, and then like she she wants me to then
Speaker 1: say yeah, but women also complained about other things.
Speaker 2: Didn't do it, didn't take the cheese, didn't.
Speaker 3: Take that to your weekend maybe intellectual state, you know,
Speaker 3: physically and intellectually.
Speaker 2: She's trying to trap you, and you and you didn't
Speaker 2: go on that road.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I literally I didn't have the strength to
Speaker 1: do it, but I want.
Speaker 4: It was in like a phantom thread situation where she
Speaker 4: truly only loves you when.
Speaker 6: You're sickond exactly what she was doing.
Speaker 1: She does not love me when I'm sick, all right,
Speaker 1: today's show. Also the only thing I did do too
Speaker 1: to enrage her when she was getting for work is
Speaker 1: I put on I Am the Warrior by Patti I
Speaker 1: just put it on loop until she came in and said,
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 6: God bless Emily, honestly, Jesus Saint.
Speaker 1: All right, today's show. Here we go. It is May ninth.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting time in the calendar. Interesting in the
Speaker 1: fact that it's not a very interesting time on the calendar.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna have fun because we're gonna do a
Speaker 1: little bit of a news in a bit. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have a fun seg I feel like a high level
Speaker 1: a potential breakdown here in communication, Like, well, Connie, get
Speaker 1: why is.
Speaker 6: It on me?
Speaker 1: Why is it?
Speaker 6: I don't like this pattern of me being a problem.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm just saying, maybe.
Speaker 6: Greg gets it wrong, maybe Mark gets it wrong. Maybe
Speaker 6: you have a different than all of us.
Speaker 4: Dan to go first, to set them back, and then
Speaker 4: I'm going to follow it. And I want to just
Speaker 4: see how Mark's simmering nature to start the show, how
Speaker 4: that continue?
Speaker 2: That was you came in real hot. I don't like
Speaker 2: I don't like that the way that you which.
Speaker 1: One was it?
Speaker 4: I mean, I know why, it's because we we were
Speaker 4: on It builds slowly. It's like a boiler boiling pot
Speaker 4: of water. As we get further and further away from
Speaker 4: the original estimated time to start the show.
Speaker 5: A til hour before we actually start the program, so
Speaker 5: we do like a little mingling from that was.
Speaker 1: Our computers, like the show needs the simmer a little
Speaker 1: bit before the MIC's turn on, and you guys are
Speaker 1: all going to be the beneficiaries of a tremendous show.
Speaker 1: The schedule release, by the way, and I am so
Speaker 1: annoyed about hearing about when the schedule's coming out, as
Speaker 1: if it's the be all end all, but we still
Speaker 1: don't know the exact day, although we kind of do
Speaker 1: know the exact day, but it has been officially announced,
Speaker 1: so it's coming out next week as we understand it.
Speaker 1: So originally there was an idea that it might be
Speaker 1: around Now it's going to be next week and then
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it then. So there's your update on
Speaker 1: the release. All right, Let's get to the news. First,
Speaker 1: Humbling pads, stop.
Speaker 7: Sucking sackch lot kind of film history.
Speaker 1: Lot has tied Michael Strahan's single season record twenty two
Speaker 1: and a half sacks. Let me just start. Let me
Speaker 1: just start by saying thank you to the listeners of
Speaker 1: our show who are always so supportive of my bottomless
Speaker 1: well of pitybull. I have to say, you people make
Speaker 1: sure I see the things that need to be seen,
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you for that. With that said, what
Speaker 1: you heard right there was t J wat taking down
Speaker 1: not Lamar Jackson. That was Ty Huntley for sack number
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half in the twenty twenty one season.
Speaker 1: That tied, as you heard, what was that the bird? No,
Speaker 1: that was iron eagle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a type of bird. But yeah, what
Speaker 2: was the old when.
Speaker 1: It was Fouts and iron Eagle? What were they?
Speaker 2: The bird and the bird and the beard, bird and
Speaker 2: the beard.
Speaker 1: Anyway, that tied Michael Straighthand's NFL record that had been
Speaker 1: set twenty years earlier, a record mark. As you know,
Speaker 1: I've been very vocal and consistent in denigrating because Brett Favre,
Speaker 1: for those that don't know, slid at straight hands feet
Speaker 1: and a pre orchestrated flop job to give him the
Speaker 1: record that was previously held for nothing by Jet's great
Speaker 1: Mark Gesino. Anyway, get out the red string, because this
Speaker 1: story goes even deeper. Let's head to it. Let me
Speaker 1: see it. From Jaguar gait or nine on Twitter. Okay,
Speaker 1: while researching for this video, I may have uncovered something
Speaker 1: absolutely insane. I don't think Michael Strahan's sack record from
Speaker 1: two thousand and one is legitimate. He didn't have twenty
Speaker 1: two and a half sacks. It was a stat error.
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not talking about Brett farv sak in
Speaker 1: week seventeen. Next tweet, and he goes on to show
Speaker 1: this play from Week eight against the Cowboys counted as
Speaker 1: a sack for Straighthan clinch Storner snaps the ball with
Speaker 1: the forty four yard line, he makes it to the
Speaker 1: forty three and a half yard line, He gains half
Speaker 1: a yard. You can even see it on the official,
Speaker 1: the official on the near side ahead of where the
Speaker 1: original line of scrimmage was. And yet despite the quarterback
Speaker 1: gaining yardage, they credited straighthand with the sack. Well that's
Speaker 1: a wait, And what week was that sack? That was?
Speaker 1: Week eight?
Speaker 2: Okay against the Cowboy. Can they go back and change that?
Speaker 1: No, but we can.
Speaker 2: We can just no longer recognize that.
Speaker 4: And I think, as you know an NFL podcast, at
Speaker 4: the league, we have some influence and we can be
Speaker 4: the change that we want to see in the world.
Speaker 6: Fare reality is completely shattered.
Speaker 2: Prince Yeah, Prince would said that. Yeah, So what are
Speaker 2: your thoughts on that one?
Speaker 3: Well, I think number one, let's talk about the fact
Speaker 3: that it's an incredible piece of you know, eleventh hour journalism,
Speaker 3: not even the eleventh hour the next day.
Speaker 2: I mean, this happened a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Apparently this is an unrelated project project that Jaguar Gator
Speaker 1: nine was working on, and you just stumbled upon a
Speaker 1: historic malfunction in the in the stat keeping of the
Speaker 1: National football.
Speaker 3: I'm impressed, and I think it's another example of not
Speaker 3: just your bravery Dan to be here today, but this
Speaker 3: is a case you've been on personally for a long time.
Speaker 3: And while you also not unlike others, pointed to the
Speaker 3: farv sac, you could sense that something else was a
Speaker 3: miss all along, and Jaguar Gator nine has helped you
Speaker 3: in that effort.
Speaker 6: That was your intuition talking to you, Dan, He's helped us,
Speaker 6: He's helped us all.
Speaker 2: Thank you your intuition or this guy men.
Speaker 1: Taking any credit for it. I'm saying Jaguar gate or
Speaker 1: nine deserves all of the credit. And you know who
Speaker 1: deserves none of the credit. Michael Strahan because I really
Speaker 1: I'm down to take two sacks away. If we are
Speaker 1: the we're the tastemakers here, let's knock them down to
Speaker 1: twenty and a half.
Speaker 5: Maybe we should investigate all of these records, honestly, Well, do.
Speaker 4: You take anything about every rushing play that's basically ever
Speaker 4: happened in the NFL? You know there's some it was
Speaker 4: that it's when it's three and a half yards? Do
Speaker 4: you give him four? Do you give him three?
Speaker 2: It's like, who's how how on top of things are
Speaker 2: we really on all this stuff? Do you get to
Speaker 2: Do you get credit for a sec if you get
Speaker 2: back to the line of scrimmage?
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think so, right, No, once it's at the
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, you don't get it. And that sounds
Speaker 4: like this case is one where.
Speaker 2: He's closer to gaining a full yard than half yard?
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be on Michael Strahan who's still alive and
Speaker 3: with us, and you know is the thinking individual to
Speaker 3: say accountability?
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't claim this record. Yes, that's the next step,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure someone will reach out.
Speaker 6: To well, how you guys reached out? Maybe that's the
Speaker 6: not yet.
Speaker 1: Well it is, it is. We were talking about this,
Speaker 1: what was the story How the NFL when it's slow,
Speaker 1: the news that does come up starts to snowball fast
Speaker 1: because there's nothing else to talk about. Someone's going to
Speaker 1: reach out to Strayhand very quickly on this and we'll
Speaker 1: see if he could be mad enough to acknowledge the truth.
Speaker 4: There also was remember back in the day, and this
Speaker 4: was a big storyline on this podcast, that Al Baker
Speaker 4: was actually the unofficial holder.
Speaker 1: We yeah, spent I think we had a Baker, we had.
Speaker 1: We spent a solid week on this.
Speaker 4: Al Baker in nineteen seventy eight had the unofficial record
Speaker 4: before they kept track of Sax and we wanted to
Speaker 4: recognize him.
Speaker 1: So this really is a passion project for you, Dane.
Speaker 1: No limits to the pettiness. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the rest of the news. Greg, explain to me how
Speaker 1: this works. So the Patriots are continuing to interview for
Speaker 1: executive vice president of player personnel. They have not had
Speaker 1: this team an official general manager since nineteen ninety that's silly.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick was the de facto GM while he was
Speaker 1: there forever. Same with barcels Elliott Wolfe this off season
Speaker 1: was the de facto enough with the de facto. Yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, can't down a little bit with de
Speaker 1: facto anyway. So this team is not looking for a GM,
Speaker 1: but they are looking for the EVP of player personnel.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that guy's not in place before
Speaker 1: the draft exactly, but who's it going to be and
Speaker 1: why is it happening in the middle of men.
Speaker 4: I think other people in the NFL that were asked
Speaker 4: to interview for this job believe it's going to be
Speaker 4: Elliott wolf and so they refuse the interview. Pro Football
Speaker 4: Tek's been writing all the different people that have Oh yes,
Speaker 4: this is our lead news I think, right, but it
Speaker 4: is ridiculous. It's just sort of a note that like
Speaker 4: they're probably going through a charad to then land on
Speaker 4: well and if not, then they just let Elliott wolf
Speaker 4: run the draft and made these important decisions. And it
Speaker 4: does does make you wonder exactly like what's going on here?
Speaker 4: Who's making these decisions? Like, let's be definitive, is this
Speaker 4: because of the Rooney rule?
Speaker 1: That could be that could be part of it that
Speaker 1: they have to why he's Connie Way to sniff it out,
Speaker 1: But I.
Speaker 5: Would think that the Rooney rule would have a rule
Speaker 5: within the rule that it would have to be done
Speaker 5: before the draft.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess this is the time of year that
Speaker 4: scouting departments and general managers do often change or whatever.
Speaker 4: But it does seem a little outrageous. And there's there's
Speaker 4: been talk of like, who's who's making all the decisions here?
Speaker 4: Just when I when I give a GM job too,
Speaker 4: Even when Peter Carroll was there, they didn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, you have a lead executive. Who was it
Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll?
Speaker 4: Gosh, I forget his name, Greer I believe is Bobby
Speaker 4: Greer was his name so like, and there was clashes
Speaker 4: between him and the coach and Pete Carrow, And so
Speaker 4: you gotta look, you gotta look.
Speaker 2: And wonder who's making the decisions.
Speaker 1: It's Farred asked that question Greg. In other news, after
Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs in two straight AFC title games, Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow had to sit out last year for most of
Speaker 1: it anyway, including the most important games of the year,
Speaker 1: because he suffered that terrible risk and I want to mess.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three was one injury after another at the
Speaker 1: game's most important positions, many of them right on island games.
Speaker 1: Who could forget Burrow bending over, doubling over in pain
Speaker 1: after trying to do a warm up throw on the sideline.
Speaker 1: Imagine as a Bengals fan the way you felt at
Speaker 1: that moment. Anyway, that Thursday night game it was. And
Speaker 1: now he's back, he's ready to return. He's ready to
Speaker 1: kind of get back to where he was, which is
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes's number one nemesis. Here's what he said at
Speaker 1: a Tuesday press conference when asked about the defending back
Speaker 1: to back champion Chiefs. They were great.
Speaker 8: Their defense was one of the best in the league.
Speaker 8: They have great players on that side of the ball.
Speaker 8: And then obviously they got Patrick and Travis in their
Speaker 8: ow line and those playmakers, so you know, they're they're
Speaker 8: the gold standard. Right now, everybody's chasing them. Obviously they're
Speaker 8: back to back world champs. Somebody's got to knock them off.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's us. At the risk of repeating myself,
Speaker 1: I've said multiple times on the show, what a bummer
Speaker 1: it was when Burrow and the Bengals exited from the
Speaker 1: conversation last year, because they are such a great foil
Speaker 1: and challenger to the Chiefs, and you get the feeling
Speaker 1: that Burrow, who, by the way we're hearing, is really
Speaker 1: gone next level and training and as.
Speaker 5: He looks to oh, yeah, he's not skipping any meals,
Speaker 5: that's what no meals being skipped.
Speaker 1: This is called back. He's up, a little bit bulked up.
Speaker 1: All those old tropes are in play. But with Burrow,
Speaker 1: I kind of buy in because I think he's that
Speaker 1: type of killer.
Speaker 3: They are the team that they knocked off the Chiefs
Speaker 3: in the AFC title game. They've beaten them in each
Speaker 3: of them. They beat them in the regular season two
Speaker 3: years ago and three years ago. We're more than the
Speaker 3: b so I see them as the better challenger. But
Speaker 3: I'll say this last year like, you're in a division
Speaker 3: where you came in fourth, so there's three other teams
Speaker 3: you need to take care of first. And one of
Speaker 3: those teams went through about six quarterbacks and made the playoffs.
Speaker 3: The others was the Steelers who decided their starter shouldn't
Speaker 3: be the starter about eight minutes after the season ended.
Speaker 2: So I get it, but come on, says it, Well,
Speaker 2: it's a team this.
Speaker 3: Point to win in the Willows, and just a win
Speaker 3: gus to talk about someone's got to take over the Chiefs, Like,
Speaker 3: we get that, that's not news.
Speaker 5: It is interesting that within that same division you have
Speaker 5: Joe Burrow who's bulking up and he's saying that he's
Speaker 5: seen results and he's not. He's got his meal schedule
Speaker 5: on and everything else. And then Lamar Jackson, who is
Speaker 5: slimming down and doing the opposite.
Speaker 4: He leaning he said he's down at two o five,
Speaker 4: he like twenty pounds, like fifteen pounds. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 4: lot surprising.
Speaker 2: Uh was Burrow not on a diet plan before this offseason.
Speaker 4: I think he just maybe the rehabs adding some weight.
Speaker 4: That Bengals team last year wasn't going anywhere because the
Speaker 4: defense stunk.
Speaker 1: A's fir.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the It's not the only reason they
Speaker 4: made the super Bowl, but it's the main reason they
Speaker 4: made the super Bowl. They carried Joe Burrow in some ways,
Speaker 4: who had maybe his worst, you know, three game stretch
Speaker 4: of the year in the playoffs before the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: I also noticed he was getting creative. And I don't
Speaker 4: think Mark or any of us would like this, because
Speaker 4: I'll put myself into that. He suggested talking about the
Speaker 4: potential eighteen game schedule if that happens. He also wants
Speaker 4: like a second bye week in there at some point,
Speaker 4: So we're really pushing this, pushing.
Speaker 6: This schedule releases. I do.
Speaker 4: I like the second I like the second bye week
Speaker 4: better than the eighteenth game. Just add a second by
Speaker 4: for everyone. If you want to add a week, don't
Speaker 4: add a game. And that that does make the week,
Speaker 4: the season longer, and then you finish and you have
Speaker 4: a national holla.
Speaker 3: Well, we know that, we know that's happening, and I
Speaker 3: think it's where the season is going to stretch nearly
Speaker 3: into March at this point.
Speaker 1: That just that's life. That's how it's gonna work.
Speaker 6: And that would pick the one work out for the
Speaker 6: international games, though too, well.
Speaker 3: There will be nine of those. So I mean it's
Speaker 3: like I think, let's just let's start like push against it.
Speaker 1: It's just happening. Yeah, exactly. It's a slow creep. By
Speaker 1: the way, because I have a tradition with my bosom
Speaker 1: buddy Bob and our families we go to Big Bear
Speaker 1: that President's Day weekend, and.
Speaker 2: Five years ago it was two weeks clear of the
Speaker 2: Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: In the last couple of years, It's been now one
Speaker 1: week clear of the Super Bowl, and now whenever the
Speaker 1: next labor agreement or whatever it is, comes in, it
Speaker 1: will be that week and there will be no more
Speaker 1: trips Mark to Big Bear, no more memories.
Speaker 3: It will be see at the game. You will have
Speaker 3: different memories. They'll be very different.
Speaker 5: It really gives me extra anxiety with tax season two.
Speaker 5: Like the more the NFL season spans, the more like
Speaker 5: the deadline gets closer and time to figure things out.
Speaker 4: The season ends and it's just sax talk life stuff, transactions.
Speaker 4: Tyler Boyd is off the market. The wide receiver goes
Speaker 4: to the Titans. Okay, it's a nice little signing for Tennessee.
Speaker 4: On May night, Alan Robinson signs with the Giants. Who
Speaker 4: cares Andrew's pete the offensivelignment of the Raiders. By the way,
Speaker 4: while we're here, big Funk, how are you, Bud?
Speaker 1: What's up? How's it going? So let's hear it? Sorry, well,
Speaker 1: you know, funk is if the listeners have noted, I
Speaker 1: don't know if we've brought it up, but ATPs him
Speaker 1: and his wife are getting very close to the arrival
Speaker 1: of the baby. So now you have let's hear it, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you have Funk help us out every Thursday behind
Speaker 1: the glass very capably.
Speaker 6: I love this.
Speaker 1: He's doing great.
Speaker 2: Listen to that so Funk, I kind of forgot what
Speaker 2: I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's what I from brain Funk.
Speaker 2: I do like when you just clear your throat every
Speaker 2: five minutes or so?
Speaker 1: Can you? Can you pull up the Raybeards roster. Let's
Speaker 1: see who's lily had?
Speaker 6: Like a partition I could put up between me and Dan.
Speaker 2: You could be like, cut it up all you.
Speaker 1: Here's his own little boot. What are rapping at?
Speaker 2: Gary Cooper?
Speaker 1: The Graveyards roster which we put together as a group
Speaker 1: about a month ago. Now I want to say who's left.
Speaker 1: Let's see Bryan Tannehill and Blaine Gabbert at quarterback. Tyler
Speaker 1: Zeke is now signed by the Cowboys. Jack McKinnon still
Speaker 1: around wide receivers. Odell he is off the market, Boyd
Speaker 1: and he's now off the market. Michael Thomas still.
Speaker 2: Out there, one on one on the top, one on one.
Speaker 1: MVS available, tight ends, Logan Thomas, m Marcedes Lewis available.
Speaker 1: Skills like a quizz, big bone, Randy a kicker, eternally available.
Speaker 2: Sean Let's said, we did sixty seven.
Speaker 4: Andrews Pete's taking out, but yeah, most of them are
Speaker 4: are still stuff Gilmore still there a lot of cornerbacks.
Speaker 4: Zavian Howard's another one we mentioned the other day. Tyler
Speaker 4: Boyd is actually a meaningful signing. I feel like for
Speaker 4: this late in the mix, I think that's a good
Speaker 4: move because they're thin. DeAndre Hopkins okay, number one at
Speaker 4: this point of his year, I mean his career, but
Speaker 4: a got a good starter. Calvin Ridley's solid starter, a
Speaker 4: little inconsistent but made a lot of money for a reason,
Speaker 4: but it was a pretty big fall. I think the
Speaker 4: Treylon Burks is now probably number four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Burks has taking a seat to some degree.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's where he should be. Is maybe
Speaker 4: not a seat, but like you've thrown thirty snaps a game, you.
Speaker 2: Get him in the mix.
Speaker 6: I love that offensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: We talked about the floutest Signetti, Frank Signetti. We talked
Speaker 1: about the flouted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, medieval times, this is how floutess actually sound.
Speaker 2: That can we not sleep on the sacks Man? You couldn't.
Speaker 1: You couldn't.
Speaker 2: They really work well together.
Speaker 4: Little you're making me wonder because Walker is in the
Speaker 4: decision making process. They have to choose an instrument for
Speaker 4: orchestra next year, oh, or do chorus, but he doesn't
Speaker 4: want to do that.
Speaker 2: Don't go, so don't go flute now, Sachs.
Speaker 4: I think flute. Though you guys are talking up the
Speaker 4: flute the food it's light. I'm thinking more what's the
Speaker 4: heaviest to carry to school?
Speaker 5: I always wanted to play the saxophone, and you can
Speaker 5: like jam out to the saxophone saxophone at a wedding.
Speaker 4: Have you ever actually played the saxophone as someone who
Speaker 4: played some ORNs back, I mean kind of it sucks.
Speaker 6: You were honking?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: You played some porns?
Speaker 4: Remember, like our school was similar that everyone had to
Speaker 4: play an instrument, right, And I tried the trumpet and
Speaker 4: the saxophone. Oh this was now this and I was like,
Speaker 4: this is terrible, and I switched. It's like hurts your lips,
Speaker 4: you know, it's hard.
Speaker 1: Trumpet.
Speaker 7: I did trumpet and trumpe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not fun.
Speaker 5: Really.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I played tuba. I did tuba.
Speaker 7: I played tuba the novelty of it, and then then
Speaker 7: it became me lugging a giant tube.
Speaker 2: This is what I'm talking.
Speaker 7: I was like, what a miss I don't even remember.
Speaker 7: I was like in middle school, I had this big thing.
Speaker 7: Our instruments were old.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's that we walked both the.
Speaker 3: So that's it's a big considering if you don't want
Speaker 3: to be lugging around the immense instrument that you were
Speaker 3: eventually leave in someone's car.
Speaker 1: And it's gone across like.
Speaker 4: A five year decision too, if you go do it
Speaker 4: all through middle school, maybe to high school.
Speaker 1: If you were born in and about nineteen eighty, the
Speaker 1: sacks by the late eighties was a very cool instrument
Speaker 1: because it was all over music on the radio and
Speaker 1: things of that nature. I'm still inter and I remember
Speaker 1: I remember everyone when it was like who could sign
Speaker 1: up for? Like Greg's talking about the band or whatever
Speaker 1: music classes. Everyone wanted to get on the sacks And
Speaker 1: I signed up too late, couldn't get sax lessons. But
Speaker 1: then it turned out to be more like a criminal
Speaker 1: punishment for all the kids that were able to sign
Speaker 1: up because it was so hard.
Speaker 2: Apparently I quit so fast that it was like torture.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, I'm just like an extended recess while they're
Speaker 1: like in their own private hell, learn how to play
Speaker 1: an impossible instrument. Awful.
Speaker 3: I went to school at a more realistic time where
Speaker 3: they realized, like eighty seven percent of these people probably
Speaker 3: have no music abilities. So I had the option to
Speaker 3: take music history with a teacher named Mama hod Fu. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Mama Hods would just play records and you sit in
Speaker 3: the back row and don't do what. You don't know
Speaker 3: what lickabusiness?
Speaker 2: What is your what is your theory? A more realistic time, well,
Speaker 2: it's like the entire class learns how to play an instrument,
Speaker 2: Like the vast.
Speaker 1: Majority of it all takes is one one kid that
Speaker 1: really has a natural gift for it, and there's only
Speaker 1: one way to find out. Mark you've got to give.
Speaker 1: I didn't though access to music because music programs are
Speaker 1: so important, h to.
Speaker 2: That's the education system.
Speaker 3: I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't have to believe
Speaker 3: in every child in terms of every skill or ability.
Speaker 2: Wow, realism.
Speaker 6: I played the piano and I'm glad you're not educated.
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way.
Speaker 2: With that attitude, music history is valuable to I learned
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 4: I can't blame that, but I do like the idea
Speaker 4: that everyone gets a shot if they want.
Speaker 2: Well, I can I in this conversation, Can I.
Speaker 1: Try a horn that now? You can?
Speaker 2: Don't be You got to be realistic, son, if they
Speaker 2: want to. But you've got a bunch of people sitting
Speaker 2: in like I do, do chorse, it's likely right.
Speaker 1: I am people.
Speaker 4: One thing I would say a life lesson from the
Speaker 4: saxophone trumpet time was I think I quit that stuff
Speaker 4: so fast, like never let your parents. You can't quit
Speaker 4: things if you feel it in your gut.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 4: I was to chorus weeks later, and I'm not a
Speaker 4: good singer, and but it was a lot more fun.
Speaker 4: You can hide to chorus.
Speaker 1: Mark.
Speaker 5: Imagine if you had a drum set that was just
Speaker 5: like put in front of you, how much would you have.
Speaker 6: Loved that as a kid.
Speaker 2: We've got some.
Speaker 4: Breaking news a trade on May nine? What and it's
Speaker 4: a it's a trade worthy of May nine. The Rams
Speaker 4: are sendering Super Bowl champion wide receiver on the field
Speaker 4: during the game winning drive to win.
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl, Ben's Qronik to the Texans.
Speaker 1: Oh to trade.
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm speechless.
Speaker 2: Pull them in the desert over here. So they they
Speaker 2: cut them, and then they didn't cut them.
Speaker 4: But they announced there was a report that they were
Speaker 4: cutting him, and the Texans apparently then called him and said,
Speaker 4: like we'll give you. Wow, what I've been guessing is
Speaker 4: like a seventh round conditional type of pick.
Speaker 1: But Ben Skornick, when when Odell got hurt in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he was he was like thrust into a
Speaker 1: major role at the end of that game. That what
Speaker 1: I was saying, that was well, he was there, but
Speaker 1: he was being targeted. I think he made one big
Speaker 1: catch but also had a couple drops in the game.
Speaker 3: He vantished last year because a puka, but he was
Speaker 3: an interesting like seventh round player.
Speaker 1: Therefore he played some seasons fall back.
Speaker 6: I believe last year was Yeah, Honnie good ug good
Speaker 6: on special teams.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and then we'll play
Speaker 1: a little guess who. All right, we are back. It
Speaker 1: is time now to have a little have a little fun.
Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Colleen? He so important?
Speaker 6: That's great?
Speaker 1: How is what's going on with the summer of Connie?
Speaker 1: I know, speaking of fun, what do you have planned
Speaker 1: this summer?
Speaker 6: You know what we are, We're in the early stages
Speaker 6: of things.
Speaker 5: The summer of Kanyie needs to unfold on its own,
Speaker 5: like it's a more of an organic in the moment
Speaker 5: type thing. So you kind of go wherever the world
Speaker 5: pulls you at any given time. So sometimes having no plan,
Speaker 5: but no tickets to grease this year, no tickets degrees.
Speaker 2: Yet this year not the play of the country.
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, So staying stateside for right now?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we all we kind of lived through you,
Speaker 1: so there's a little almost a little bit of pressure
Speaker 1: for you to give give us that experience.
Speaker 3: She if I recall she talked about hosting a party
Speaker 3: at her compound like like the hours after the draft ended.
Speaker 6: So that's that is true.
Speaker 5: And then also I feel like usually the kickoff happens
Speaker 5: around the time that we do a remote for the show.
Speaker 1: Right hold your breath on the on that day, all right,
Speaker 1: So the NFL schedule for that maybe not falling into
Speaker 1: place this year, all right, but well we will have
Speaker 1: a remote show. Cool, all right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Let's it's a it's a game called Guess Who. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about some people in the NFL world
Speaker 1: who you know. These are people that matter, put it
Speaker 1: that way and veryone. Grab your whiteboard and a marker.
Speaker 1: The key to this game is we take turns laying
Speaker 1: out descriptions of this figure without trying to give it
Speaker 1: away immediately. Wait until the end of the setup to
Speaker 1: make your guests write it down on the board, and
Speaker 1: then we'll see if you guys are able to guess
Speaker 1: it correctly. I will get us going.
Speaker 6: Mark and I are making eyes at each other like, well,
Speaker 6: I'm hoping.
Speaker 2: I did I did it, I did it the exercise.
Speaker 4: How are you feeling now that I've I thought we
Speaker 4: would be guessing after each one, but now I'm going
Speaker 4: to adjust.
Speaker 1: Okay, clue, we have multiple clues.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's a it's it's a building.
Speaker 1: Tiered teers.
Speaker 4: We're all, we're all great improv actors. Like now it's
Speaker 4: time to maybe kill the one that was too obvious
Speaker 4: at the very end that I had ready.
Speaker 1: All right, hit it, funk, let's get into it. I
Speaker 1: am an important figure in the landscape of pro football.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's literally anyone.
Speaker 1: The look the look.
Speaker 3: Greg just gonna take my white board out of You
Speaker 3: should have seen the withering look that Mark just gave you.
Speaker 1: Greg when you started talking at.
Speaker 2: When when a share buddy?
Speaker 1: Because we all have one?
Speaker 2: Why would we found one under the table?
Speaker 6: I need I need a marker, but I don't want
Speaker 6: you to touch it.
Speaker 1: All right, I, in case you missed it, am an
Speaker 1: important figure in the landscape of pro football. Okay, I'm hot,
Speaker 1: or maybe I'm not. Hm, it's actually hard to say.
Speaker 1: Don't let people see your answer. My NFL career to
Speaker 1: this point has not been a disappointment, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's rarely been thrilling. I am I'm not the bust
Speaker 1: or a direct hit. The heighs have been memorable, but
Speaker 1: not iconic. The low's mostly forgettable or explained away. I'm
Speaker 1: laying in the weeds right now, mostly forgotten. As other
Speaker 1: players in my position group have assumed the mantle of
Speaker 1: the next big thing, I still could be the next
Speaker 1: big thing. Society moves so fast, and we tend to
Speaker 1: make snap judgments on things that require more time to
Speaker 1: effectively understand. You know what's up with that. I'm not
Speaker 1: the type to run my mouth in the media or
Speaker 1: write a dopey personal letter on Derek Jeeter's website. This
Speaker 1: is me direct to the people. I'm filtered by anyone
Speaker 1: booth enough, I'm actually largely formless in terms of personality,
Speaker 1: which has some ways ascribed to kind of mystery to me. Still,
Speaker 1: I remain a figure of legitimate intrigue and immense promise.
Speaker 1: Who am I? All right, we're gonna go around. Feel
Speaker 1: very confident?
Speaker 2: All right, well let me go to you third then, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's start with Colleie.
Speaker 6: I almost want to hear the clues again, but I
Speaker 6: know that's not part.
Speaker 1: Of the listening experience, and those at home could play along. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the game has layers.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to say that it is a quarterback,
Speaker 5: and that's correct. The first quarterback I wrote, give us
Speaker 5: a ding, Sam Howell.
Speaker 1: But leading a segment with Sam Howe would be to
Speaker 1: go Zach Wilson. All right, we're gonna go now to Greg.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say no because he said this
Speaker 4: this person was not a bust uh So no, Zach Wilson.
Speaker 4: I wrote it down very early, and then as you
Speaker 4: got towards the end, I got I grew less confident.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going with Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Okay, Mark Sessler, what's going on with your Why
Speaker 1: did you show your board by the oh maybe not.
Speaker 3: I got a little less confident as you crept along
Speaker 3: there too. I wrote this about two sentences in, but
Speaker 3: I went Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: That is correct that Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: I got stuck on Kyler and great job, Mark. Can
Speaker 2: you I know you'd get it well.
Speaker 3: I also, you know, I listened to what you say
Speaker 3: on the show, and Trevor Lawrence has been a figure
Speaker 3: that you brought up in the terms that you described
Speaker 3: it there multiple times.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable the way you see it all pays off. It does,
Speaker 1: having that level of the job.
Speaker 4: But isn't it interesting that Kyler also a number one
Speaker 4: overall draftic until you got to the part where like
Speaker 4: you had no idea about his personality, which that I
Speaker 4: was like, people kind of do have an idea about Kyler.
Speaker 2: He's been sort of has written posts. Let's start with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, is what Trevor Lawrence was like. He's like statuesque,
Speaker 2: but it's hard to tell if he's like classes.
Speaker 1: He's kind of like a Disney prince. But like when
Speaker 1: you take that and you take it out of animation
Speaker 1: and make it a real person, it's like, is that
Speaker 1: he looks a little almost too like angular and cartoonish.
Speaker 2: This is the main reason.
Speaker 1: How about you, Colleen, what do you think is Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence in an attractive man? I mean he's fine, no
Speaker 1: takes okay.
Speaker 2: I mean he's like six six I in person, he
Speaker 2: struck by him.
Speaker 6: He's a good looking kid. I look at him like
Speaker 6: he's a kid though, so.
Speaker 2: Well he is a full blown adult.
Speaker 1: But I get it though, and and uh and now
Speaker 1: you know, just to kind of go over and I
Speaker 1: do think he is laying in the weeds because he
Speaker 1: does have in that division where everyone now has counted
Speaker 1: out the Jacks, he could be the difference maker there
Speaker 1: if if and I know you've made a point of it, Greg,
Speaker 1: like if you go back and rewatch, that was an
Speaker 1: absurd Jaguar season. Last year was a disappointing one. Obviously,
Speaker 1: coming off.
Speaker 4: The Eagles kind of let them off the hook of
Speaker 4: like unbelievable collapses because they're at they had they like
Speaker 4: reverse outshined them.
Speaker 1: And Lawrence obviously the end of the season injured and
Speaker 1: was banged up. But there were so many different moments
Speaker 1: where Trevor Lawrence almost had a huge play, a huge touchdown,
Speaker 1: the balls bobbled or was one foot down in the
Speaker 1: back of the end zone like that was a hallmark
Speaker 1: of their season. Incredibly frustrating. So you kind of you
Speaker 1: wipe the board and he's obviously you would think, comes
Speaker 1: back one hundred percent healthy. They do not. I think
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson said, we're now We're no longer like the hunted,
Speaker 1: where the hunters and all that.
Speaker 2: I think if you believe in Doug Peterson, Connie.
Speaker 1: And I know that you have reason to believe in
Speaker 1: Peterson's Super Bowl champion, there are some pretty good bolletin
Speaker 1: board material and ways to get that team that does
Speaker 1: have talent, a lot of talent actually to buy into
Speaker 1: the idea that nobody believes it us and that matters
Speaker 1: in sports.
Speaker 4: It was a disappointing year for him, highest sack percentage
Speaker 4: he's ever had, struggled to like connect down the field,
Speaker 4: and then they suddenly had Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Junior,
Speaker 4: who you know, there wasn't the plan. They wanted to
Speaker 4: keep Ridley and they got out bid. And those two
Speaker 4: guys are very similar to me, just like total burners.
Speaker 4: So it's sort of the opposite of last year where
Speaker 4: they weren't throwing the ball down the field. He felt
Speaker 4: a little too conservative, had a lot of interception. He
Speaker 4: wasn't bad, but this is a guy I kind of
Speaker 4: forgot this. But he hit a seventh in MVP voting
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty two. He actually got a few like
Speaker 4: third place votes there in MVP and else was the two.
Speaker 1: Quarterback of one of the great comebacks in playoff history
Speaker 1: in round one. He was fine, though, But you're right
Speaker 1: that the world moves on.
Speaker 4: That was the part where I thought you were talking
Speaker 4: about Kyler, because I was like, Kyler is sneaky, only
Speaker 4: one year older than Michael Pennox, like, and he's still
Speaker 4: a very talented player, and the world's really moved on
Speaker 4: from him.
Speaker 2: But Lawrence made more sense.
Speaker 1: I mean they were.
Speaker 3: I thought there were like trade whispers around Kyler Murray,
Speaker 3: like Trevor Lawrence is years away of unproductive play to
Speaker 3: be called a bust. I think, if anything, he's Oh
Speaker 3: he's good, big bounce back candidate.
Speaker 6: I need to write down the clues. Yeah, oh, I
Speaker 6: can reference them.
Speaker 4: As they bill all right, Now, this is like quarterback
Speaker 4: ranking season, and I've seen some pop up and I
Speaker 4: still see him creeping into the top ten, which surprised me.
Speaker 2: I would not. Did you roll that other market off
Speaker 2: the table?
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: It was unintentional, but it rolled off the glass table.
Speaker 1: Who wants to go? Who wants to go next? Colleen?
Speaker 6: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 5: I'm an NFL bad boy from Mississippi, Greg Rosevein that
Speaker 5: just enjoyed my first Pro Bowl season. I set franchise
Speaker 5: records my rookie year and melted hearts across this beautiful country.
Speaker 5: I have hair like a god, and my grandfather wanted
Speaker 5: me to be named Beowulf, after an old English poem
Speaker 5: about a hero from Sweden who travels to Denmark and
Speaker 5: kills man eating monsters and later in life, confronts and
Speaker 5: kills a fire breathing dragon, but dies in the effort.
Speaker 1: I remember that one from ninth grade.
Speaker 5: My current team was always my one seed, and unlike
Speaker 5: less Sneed, I certainly know how to change a tire.
Speaker 5: Oh after spending an off season on an old prison bus.
Speaker 5: I often find myself in a competition, but I'm still
Speaker 5: number one in your wife's heart. I like rock and roll,
Speaker 5: throwing dimes, catching up on my Hunter Thompson collection.
Speaker 6: Jockstraps and lava lamps.
Speaker 5: Keep me going strong into my sixth NFL season on
Speaker 5: my fourth team.
Speaker 6: I can go one more little bit here.
Speaker 2: But I like that none of us will get it
Speaker 2: at this point. But okay, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Sixth the NFL season, four teams. M hm, the ladies
Speaker 1: love him? Okay, is from Mississippi. I'm happy.
Speaker 2: Number one wife's heart.
Speaker 1: That one is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's do you want to give us the last
Speaker 2: n sure?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: What I gonna write mine now?
Speaker 5: And just see I like denim and patches, aviators and bandanas.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm totally lost. I actually still don't really know.
Speaker 1: But I have a guest. Do you want to wait?
Speaker 2: I uh, how many teams did you say for?
Speaker 1: Oh? I think I know it is. That's still the
Speaker 1: number one in your wife's heart is a weird one
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 6: But all right, let's see who am I?
Speaker 1: We all are thrown up. I got Gardner Minshew Greg
Speaker 1: has Gardner Minshew Schler.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought it was a defensive player. You had
Speaker 3: me stumped intil I thought it was for some reason?
Speaker 6: Is that I am good jockstrap king? I am uncle Rea?
Speaker 6: I am Gardner Minshew, I don't do.
Speaker 2: Do you think that the typical wife longs for Gardner Minshoe?
Speaker 5: I think only because it's probably because I have a
Speaker 5: text chain with some people that you probably you all
Speaker 5: know who.
Speaker 1: On the ground reporting that's really that's what we Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess he's conventionally attracted.
Speaker 2: I never I never put that together.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, she's sometimes personality though, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1: I need to find out who's saying this. And also
Speaker 1: the way he carries himself with a lot of confidence,
Speaker 1: like I can understand.
Speaker 2: That personality, and the overall minsh resk and the great.
Speaker 1: Relationship with his dad like that kind of stuff is like,
Speaker 1: oh he's sweet too. Yeah, that was good. That was good.
Speaker 1: That was great. Kelly, you're on fire.
Speaker 6: Excellent.
Speaker 2: All right, Greg, you are up next.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Played the music I wish I got money.
Speaker 1: I don't need your bed mark. It was music.
Speaker 4: I was featured on the Netflix series qb QB one
Speaker 4: Beyond the Lights.
Speaker 1: UB one Yellow Lights.
Speaker 4: I changed my nickname in college because it was problematic.
Speaker 4: Oh no, Dixie, the owner of the team that drafted me,
Speaker 4: once called me a superhero.
Speaker 2: I've started seventeen games at my position since high school.
Speaker 4: In my first three starts, I had four rushing touchdowns,
Speaker 4: setting an NFL record.
Speaker 2: I don't want to give you the next one. I'll
Speaker 2: give it away.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm stuffed. I don't know who you guys are. Okay,
Speaker 1: how you doing? Mark?
Speaker 2: The seventeen starts threw me way up.
Speaker 6: Course since high school?
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you one more then, which is I
Speaker 4: was a top five pick in the NFL draft.
Speaker 1: Oh, top five picks, seventeen high school.
Speaker 2: Starts, seventhin games at his position, since.
Speaker 1: I seventeen games at his position.
Speaker 2: Interly, maybe I made it too hard.
Speaker 1: I like it. You weren't going to give us the
Speaker 1: last one.
Speaker 2: He's only played so he's not a quarterback, but he
Speaker 2: was on the quarterback He was on the Netflix series
Speaker 2: show I don't know. I missed that one. QB one
Speaker 2: beyond the Lights is like a deep Greg cut. He
Speaker 2: changed his nickname in college. This is because it was
Speaker 2: problematic for me.
Speaker 1: That was can you give us the nickname?
Speaker 2: Maybe that was as a h Maybe I shouldn't even
Speaker 2: answered yet.
Speaker 3: Looking back, seventeen total starts or seventeen starts at the position,
Speaker 3: he was seventeen games at his position?
Speaker 7: Okay, and.
Speaker 6: Did he play different positions? What is this Ale's questions question?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Truth or dare I said what I said? That's
Speaker 1: not truth? All right?
Speaker 4: Go ahead, all right, let's look around the room. Marcus
Speaker 4: crost Out, Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 3: I thought, no, it's not Edelin, but I thought it
Speaker 3: was maybe Mariota until the seventeen starts off the wasn't
Speaker 3: he on the other quarterback?
Speaker 1: I'm totally as you was. You got me?
Speaker 6: Were they successful in the NFL?
Speaker 4: I wish at his position seems to really have thrown you.
Speaker 4: He didn't actually change positions?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Did you write anything?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 6: I just wrote down the hints thinking it would help.
Speaker 2: All Right, I will get Should I give you the nickname?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: At least, but the nickname was ar fifteen? Oh, I
Speaker 4: mean it is Alan Robinson, it is Anthony Richard.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, we talked about.
Speaker 4: Spencer Radler was on that show too, and it hurt
Speaker 4: his I was like, also on that show. Get darted
Speaker 4: for that, Anthony Richards?
Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, fifty uh seventeen. That's all there. Greg, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. Let's do a job by you, Greg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I should have had that. The superhero thing, that's what
Speaker 1: ers said there right, Ers said that damn it. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a break and we'll go around one more
Speaker 1: stumped us. All right, we're back. Mark, you're up. Okay,
Speaker 1: have your bored?
Speaker 2: Yes, here is my hero of my count good hold
Speaker 2: on here bored and Penn you're Mark?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 6: Drums please drums.
Speaker 1: It's petsif on the head that the signs the movie.
Speaker 3: I'm a controversial figure lodged in the American Football Conference.
Speaker 3: I'm so controversial that some like to act as if
Speaker 3: I'm not even part of the league to make themselves
Speaker 3: feel better about their worldview, which says more about them
Speaker 3: than me.
Speaker 1: WHOA.
Speaker 3: When I'm not on the football field, I am involved
Speaker 3: with my music, and when I enjoy lunch, I like
Speaker 3: to have a glass of milk with freshly baked bread.
Speaker 1: Who the wouldn't bread is operating.
Speaker 3: I have an unusual name that small minded types make
Speaker 3: fun of because it's somewhat androgynous, and in fact used
Speaker 3: liberally by groups of young girls. I have a family
Speaker 3: line that dates back to the early sixteenth century. When
Speaker 3: I was a child, a relative gave me this write
Speaker 3: up about my lineage, which reads, we are typically hairy
Speaker 3: chested and live in houses and farms with people. We
Speaker 3: undertake a range of domestic and agricultural chores on the
Speaker 3: understanding that we get free board and lodging. Some people
Speaker 3: complain that I dominate the football field in a way
Speaker 3: that makes it tough to focus on the actual game.
Speaker 3: There's one more clue I can use it. Miles Garrett
Speaker 3: steps all over me, but he believes in me.
Speaker 2: What controversial figure? Oh okay, I guess you kind of
Speaker 2: gave it.
Speaker 1: I would bet that Greg hasn't.
Speaker 6: A name that girls use.
Speaker 2: Now thinking back to all the clues, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I'll guess first of the weeks,
Speaker 1: I really don't know. First I thought it was like
Speaker 1: DeShawn but no, and then Mason Rudolph, But he was
Speaker 1: batting the helmet with a helmet by Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: Right, Taylor, Heineke, No, I mean you had it, Dan,
Speaker 2: It is Mason Rude I believe.
Speaker 1: No, not no, I don't.
Speaker 6: I don't have I wrote Watson.
Speaker 2: It is never never discount utter confidence in you had
Speaker 2: it here it is it's Brownie the Elf.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, that's all right.
Speaker 2: That was the Brownies girls controversial figures. I like that mark.
Speaker 6: It was like a trendy thing on TikTok, like girls
Speaker 6: were calling guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, would any of us ever guess that?
Speaker 3: Because there is if you think about it, like a
Speaker 3: lot one of the people they had, they done poles
Speaker 3: for people. A lot of brown skins don't like that
Speaker 3: Midfield giant elf and it does on television depending on
Speaker 3: how the Browns are dressed.
Speaker 2: They get a little lost in the weeds visually.
Speaker 1: But he believes in me.
Speaker 4: No, I wish I I think he led us in
Speaker 4: a beautiful direction. The lineage was hilarious that that was
Speaker 4: good for some reason. Then I was like, all right,
Speaker 4: it must be Mason, rude, bread and milk.
Speaker 2: That's the true thing about them, according to what's a.
Speaker 1: All right, who's up here?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: I can't tap that?
Speaker 6: Okay, big funk, Here we go. I'm both the what
Speaker 6: oh god, jeez, you're so needy. Okay, here we go again.
Speaker 6: I'm going to kill you.
Speaker 5: I'm going to slap you, all right, go ahead, you're good, Okay.
Speaker 5: I'm both the villain and the hero, the sinner and same.
Speaker 5: I will dictate your future, whether you like it or not.
Speaker 5: I'm tied to not one but all. I'm everywhere and nowhere,
Speaker 5: and once I have bestow the fruits of my labor,
Speaker 5: they will be etched in stone for the rest of time.
Speaker 6: Whoa, Now it's it's my turn, my time. I'm the darling.
Speaker 6: I call the shots, I do the interviews, I get
Speaker 6: the shine.
Speaker 1: It's about me, okay.
Speaker 6: I operate in the shadows with a deep network of intelligence.
Speaker 5: I have the answers. You only have questions. But soon
Speaker 5: my information will be revealed. I will again retreat to
Speaker 5: my bunker of silence. A seemingly endless array of combinations
Speaker 5: is my wheelhouse only. Cynthia Freelan likes algorithms more than me.
Speaker 5: And if you tell my secrets before I'm ready to share,
Speaker 5: the wrath of the almighty.
Speaker 6: Will take you swiftly and the rapture will begin. Who
Speaker 6: am I?
Speaker 8: Wow?
Speaker 1: That was well written. Thank you. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman.
Speaker 2: No, No, I went NFL schedule makers.
Speaker 6: Okay, is that that's close enough? Who did you have?
Speaker 1: I went with the Raiser.
Speaker 6: I am Mike north Pp of Broadcast plan.
Speaker 4: How I'm gonna file uh an official complaint and.
Speaker 2: Tell me that none of it, like any of.
Speaker 1: That was everything that out now that I'm listening now
Speaker 1: going through my head. Yes, everything does connect technically except me.
Speaker 3: Hell, Racer doesn't disappear into the shadows, so I feel
Speaker 3: he's constantly with us times.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's fun. That's a fun one. That was Mike Norris.
Speaker 6: I love Mike nor so much.
Speaker 1: Going to get a text like, yeah.
Speaker 4: What I believe, but yeah, people in that office listen
Speaker 4: to this show, Well shut up. I imagined many times
Speaker 4: that they were basically right around the corner when I
Speaker 4: had a desk at the NFL offices in business development,
Speaker 4: and then saw them over the years, and I believe
Speaker 4: they are fans of around the NFL.
Speaker 1: All right, we have one more, okay, and it will
Speaker 1: be from Greg Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: My career.
Speaker 4: Started, much like Mark Sessler, by writing a letter to
Speaker 4: a famous NFL figure.
Speaker 2: This NFL figure was Ron Wolfe.
Speaker 1: Letter all right.
Speaker 4: A recent video counted the number of times I said
Speaker 4: the word buddy during the NFL draft. I said it
Speaker 4: twenty two times.
Speaker 6: Buddy.
Speaker 2: I currently have a.
Speaker 4: Lot of dip on my chip, including the making of
Speaker 4: a social video right before the draft, arguably mocking our
Speaker 4: team's fans that were up in arms over a silly story.
Speaker 2: A lot of dip, A lot of it's as.
Speaker 1: I helped to acquire.
Speaker 4: Every member of my franchise's only title except for four.
Speaker 4: One of those four players was Brandon Mebane. Should I
Speaker 4: leave it there? I have a yes, Okay, I think
Speaker 4: you've got it. The last one is probably gonna.
Speaker 1: Give it away. That actually is not what gave it away.
Speaker 1: But I don't even know if I'm right.
Speaker 2: Okay, my last two just for the hell of it.
Speaker 2: Mark does have it right?
Speaker 4: Is that I'm famous for a shirtless picture, Yes, and
Speaker 4: that I oh quietly pushed out the man this offseason
Speaker 4: most associated with my success.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I had it wrong.
Speaker 2: Actually, I thought.
Speaker 3: Maybe that Elliott Wolfe wrote Ron Wolfe a letter at first,
Speaker 3: but I crossed that out. I thought Chris Ballard was
Speaker 3: spicy during the draft. Trent Balki had that thing happened
Speaker 3: to him.
Speaker 2: That John Schneider, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Night, Oh that's good, that's real good.
Speaker 1: A lot of dip on the chip, I've noticed.
Speaker 4: I thought it was the silly Seahawks story though, so
Speaker 4: everyone was upset that the new coach took down pictures
Speaker 4: in the hallway. This is like a this is an
Speaker 4: off season trope, by the way, that new coaches do this,
Speaker 4: and then the fans get upset. Supposedly they had taken
Speaker 4: down a lot of the pictures in certain parts of
Speaker 4: the hallways of the Seahawks. So then Schneider and Mike
Speaker 4: McDonald taped multiple social clips, like in front of various
Speaker 4: pictures saying how they were excited for the draft.
Speaker 2: That was a fun move.
Speaker 1: I liked it.
Speaker 6: Dip on my chip is real great.
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just noticing, like we're noticing with Chris
Speaker 4: Ballard certain things, there's a there's a difference this Schneider.
Speaker 4: It's kind of like he's been almost like a vibe
Speaker 4: like he's been in this middle management position. Not that
Speaker 4: he has been, but as if the boss that he's
Speaker 4: always been waiting to leave is gone and now he's
Speaker 4: running the show a lot.
Speaker 1: I know that.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's happening in our newsroom at times.
Speaker 1: Sure, I'm pretty I don't want to say I'm pretty sure,
Speaker 1: but who knows. But I think less Need is a
Speaker 1: dip guy, by the way, So that's where.
Speaker 4: I was I was thinking, Yeah, I was thinking more
Speaker 4: like the phrase, you know, got a dip on your chip.
Speaker 1: You're like Dick Clark over here, world teenager, you have
Speaker 1: too much dip on your chip means that being lost
Speaker 1: and something can affect other parts of your life.
Speaker 6: I've never heard this phrase before.
Speaker 2: Phrase uses hurt to encourage you, but not to rule you.
Speaker 2: What the I think it's I think of it also
Speaker 2: sometimes to TikTok.
Speaker 4: For instance, like Baker may Field would strike me as
Speaker 4: a person that's sometimes even on the field, that a
Speaker 4: little too much dip for his chip. He almost trying
Speaker 4: to trying to be a little too much extra. And
Speaker 4: maybe it's yeah, it's gonna come back to might see.
Speaker 6: I'm a heavy dipper, so I don't know, like it's tough.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of there's an old
Speaker 1: Texan saying that I know from my family now that
Speaker 1: too much sugar for a dime? Huh. I like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know I did what it means, but too
Speaker 1: much sugar for a dime is like it's not worth it,
Speaker 1: It's not worth the trouble.
Speaker 3: The other one, the other phrase can only be post
Speaker 3: chips and salt. And I was trying to think, how
Speaker 3: long have chips and salts have been around, does anyone know?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Fifty four years show should have ended
Speaker 1: about five minutes time. Chips and Dip nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: that's when it started.
Speaker 4: And yeah, he came up through that Ron Wolf Packers
Speaker 4: front office back in the day, John Schneider.
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 6: All right, that is it Elliott Wolf writing Ron Wolf le.
Speaker 2: I thought I might have been how that relationship again.
Speaker 1: But it's just well, I think if you gain much earlier.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and we'll close up.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice, Colleen. We are wrapping things up.
Speaker 1: By the way, Big soccer weekend coming up. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: Slynn Patel, my buddy owner impossibly of West Brom Big
Speaker 1: big home and home with South Hampton, actually reached out
Speaker 1: to joining Gonzales. You're familiar with work, yes to kind
Speaker 1: of explain to me what's at stake this weekend for
Speaker 1: West Brom, the team, the footy team of around the NFL. Anyway,
Speaker 1: West Brom plays South Hampton at a home and home.
Speaker 1: Winner of that on aggregate advances to play winner of
Speaker 1: Norwich City and Leeds. Winner of that is promoted to
Speaker 1: the Premium League Premiere excuse Jesus Christ, that is the
Speaker 1: Premium League. It's not totally wrong.
Speaker 6: And it's Premier League Premier Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Premier the Premium Premier League.
Speaker 4: And John never too late for a rebrand for them. Yeah,
Speaker 4: South Southampton and Leeds got relegated from Premier last season,
Speaker 4: so this is huge.
Speaker 1: In fact, Shelyn had told me if they do jump
Speaker 1: up to the Premier League, there might be a private
Speaker 1: jet involved and a trip to celebrate for you, no,
Speaker 1: like for the group.
Speaker 5: Does that happen during the summer of Connie. Yeah, this
Speaker 5: is why I keep my schedule open.
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and check the wording to
Speaker 1: see if it like involves Mark for instance. But I
Speaker 1: think it was like a collective. He was just like, yeah, Greg,
Speaker 1: you know Colleen, all the guys. You please clarify. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I do. Now, speaking of Big Funk, Big Funk
Speaker 1: is actually kind of our source. He really knows you know,
Speaker 1: you're a big fan of that. The European the Premium League.
Speaker 1: I love.
Speaker 7: I love Premier League, so below so believe below the
Speaker 7: Premier League, it's called the EFL Championship English Football leagu Championship.
Speaker 7: Below that you have Leagues two and one, and then
Speaker 7: below that is like the national side. It's a pyramid
Speaker 7: pretty much the way it constructs. That's why sometimes online
Speaker 7: you'll see you know, ninth tier side whatever played against
Speaker 7: League two side whoever, such and such. So it's a
Speaker 7: big it's a big deal because when you get that
Speaker 7: mona should.
Speaker 1: Be so much better with your theme song underneath it,
Speaker 1: by everything. All right, I feel all right, start over, okay, sure,
Speaker 1: So it's an inverted pyramid, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 6: So the top of the top is the Premier League,
Speaker 6: regular pyramid pyramids in big.
Speaker 1: It's a year.
Speaker 2: All the leagues, okay, go ahead, Oh all right.
Speaker 7: So the way it works is you want to get
Speaker 7: promoted up because if you get promoted up, you get
Speaker 7: TV money, you know, you get sponsorship money. That's why
Speaker 7: private jets, you get private jets. And the opposite happens
Speaker 7: when you get relegated. So if you get bumped down,
Speaker 7: bumped down a league, you lose players, you lose out
Speaker 7: on lots of revenue, and sometimes that can leave teams
Speaker 7: in financial ruin. So it's a really big deal with
Speaker 7: these guys get promoted because just because you make it
Speaker 7: one year doesn't guarantee you'll make it the next year. Right,
Speaker 7: last year Coventry made it with Luton, Luton got promoted.
Speaker 7: Coventry ended up eighth this year, and so you can
Speaker 7: you can like you can make it really close and
Speaker 7: then be stuck in that league for a decade, for decades.
Speaker 1: So it's the last time that West Brom has been
Speaker 1: in the Premier League.
Speaker 7: I think it's been a little under ten years. I
Speaker 7: don't remember exactly. For instance, second place side if which
Speaker 7: which finished below Lester they're automatically promoted. Is the first
Speaker 7: time in twenty years they've been promoted. So and I
Speaker 7: think they're called the boys for the tractors, but they're
Speaker 7: getting promoted up.
Speaker 1: So it's a big deal. So all right, that's a
Speaker 1: great Rundown, Thank you very much. You bet you. I
Speaker 1: think it's a yeah, West bromp up West Brom. There
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 2: And I mean, your friend is.
Speaker 4: Coming over your house at six fifteen in the morning
Speaker 4: or something to watch this.
Speaker 1: I'm down if anybody wanted to come over to watch it,
Speaker 1: I would not turn the door.
Speaker 3: Your friend is about those doors very very sounds wealthy
Speaker 3: to begin with, the whole contingent.
Speaker 6: I mean, or even with you, you're basically Dan. How
Speaker 6: does it feel I'm.
Speaker 1: The friend of a rich person that doesn't really help you? Actually,
Speaker 1: what does.
Speaker 2: If he sends his jet?
Speaker 1: That's true? What if you were in need?
Speaker 6: Nice experience, nice little PJ action.
Speaker 1: What do you mean like come to him with my
Speaker 1: hand out? That's not my style? Well it's not. I
Speaker 1: don't come in my hand out. If you were in
Speaker 1: your need, would he could help help you? But you would?
Speaker 6: You would fly on the private jet?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a little bit, you would do absolutely. Yes.
Speaker 2: What if they gave me a list of you know,
Speaker 2: seven people can go on the jet?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, that would be Dan's dream to pick
Speaker 6: this up.
Speaker 2: I'd definitely hold interviews.
Speaker 6: It would become a full reality.
Speaker 1: Show, right, it would be.
Speaker 2: It would take care of a lot of summer programming
Speaker 2: for the podcast.
Speaker 1: Be good, All right, thank you everybody for listening. Go baggies,
