Another huge weekend of 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:37.839 sports and it was a big week of First Urban Meyer, No, 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:39.880 I'm just kidding, there's no joke. Urban Meyer and the 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.120 Jacksonville Jaguars got their first win. The Cincinnati Bearcats. Yes, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.600 the Cincinnati bear Cats are ranked number two in the 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.440 country for the first time in school history. You know, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.240 they're behind there behind my dogs number one, who beat 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.480 Kentucky now are the only undefeated team in the SEC. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.840 It was the first episode of the Newcason of Succession. 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.880 You're honest, do you watch Succession? I don't watch Succession? 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:05.840 And if you tell people that you don't, they just 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.600 get very angry. Have you noticed that when people they're 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.240 enthusiastic about a show and they have you seen it? 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.000 And you're like no, and they're like, what's wrong with you? 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.960 Oh my god, you haven't seen It's like, yeah, you know, 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.479 I have thirteen thousand hours of other shows to catch 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.600 up on. Yeah, it's hard. To live a life. Now, 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.399 there's so many I'm trying to find time to live. Yeah, 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.120 peer pressure to watch shows is a real thing. But 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.399 you were so busy this weekend. Anyway, your baby girl, Gig, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.720 she had her first birthday. How was it you were 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.440 texting our group text and I'm glad to know what 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:43.080 this first birthday? They were serving plenty of adult beverages. Yeah, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.640 I mean I live up the group text. Hopefully you 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.640 guys destroyed it. It was supposed to be destroyed on 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.800 a rival, because you know, I don't want to get 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.120 into an Urban Meyer situation. I was a little toasted. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.960 I can't be responsible for what I texted, but it 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.200 was fun. I needed to make sure I got very 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.000 drunk Olivia, just so when the check came for the 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.800 event I was. I didn't remember it. I wanted to 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.720 be fully blacked out for when I signed the check. Well, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.639 I think you got there. In fact, that's what I 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.160 should do for our end punishment, Picks is just have 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:18.560 you read out your text? They were pretty rich and yeah, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.880 that party was extravagant. It must be good, be g 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.760 G Pappas. Let me tell you when I come back 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.480 in another life, I want to be pappas. Yeah, it 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.040 was a combo baptism. I'm sorry. Christening, I was a 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.560 combo christening and first birthday. So we did them both 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.840 at the same time, so you know, I imagine it 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.080 would have been worse if I did a separate birthday 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.160 party and christening. So anyway, I'm gonna be bet and 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.400 big on somebody and trying to win this money back. 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.520 Peter Andrew, I can't wait to talk to you.

But sub Justin Bieber for 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.800 Jim Carey. Let's make this current. That's true. Shout out 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.040 to Justin Trudeau. I'm a Canadian now. Congratulations Sam Decker, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.600 he's a Toronto Raptor. So excited, so excited for the 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.240 NBA to begin to That's talk about a sport that's 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.160 on every night. You know, you never never have to 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.160 look around too hard for an NBA game, right, Yeah, 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.080 you can find a game. The only thing you can't 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.680 find this season is Kyrie Irving. He's tough to spot. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.920 He will be tough to speak of vaccine and athletes. 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.760 So do you see that Cam Newton has now gotten 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.960 vaccinated and is looking for a job. I didn't see that, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.280 but yeah, I mean, who's gonna pick Somebody's got to 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.880 pick him up. He's too valuable to have on the wire. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.240 Let's go. You know, I could think of one team 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.080 that could use him. Who it's a New York team. 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.080 I mean, look, we could take just play wide received 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.680 we need another player. At this point, we had we 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.680 had more injuries this weekend. It's getting very very I'm 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.120 not even sure if the Giants showed up to the 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:36.120 Jets game whoever they're playing next, and the Jets showed 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.920 up to the Giants game whoever they're playing next, I 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.640 don't even think the other team would notice that the 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.239 other it's not that team. That's how bad both teams 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.880 are right now. Oh that's pretty good, that's pretty good. Yeah. 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.000 I think Cam Newton will find a home. Players get 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.159 hurt all the time, and I think he'll find a 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.760 good role as a backup. But yeah, former MVP. It's 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.919 just interesting the COVID vaccine decisions made around sports, also 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.159 in the media, Like I I have a friend, longtime 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.760 ESPN reporter, and she has chosen not to get vaccinated 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.320 and ESPN has let her go. So it's just it's 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.760 such a byeline to so many headlines this season, right, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.120 I mean, it's it's very interesting. Last season was all 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.599 what games are canceled. Now it's what players are choosing 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.159 not to get vaccinated. So as we get closer to 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.840 the midway point of NFL season, Boy, a lot of 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.520 teams made statements this past weekend. Perhaps none bigger than 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.440 the Baltimore Ravens. You picked this one, honest. Last week, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.919 you picked this They rolled the Chargers thirty four to six, 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.000 and then the Cardinals. They are still unbeaten. They beat 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.480 the Browns. That was a great game. Without their head coach. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.960 They left their head coach in Arizona with COVID. They 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.200 still got it done. That was a great one. We're 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.919 going to talk to former NFL general manager and three 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.919 time Super Bowl winning executive Michael Lombardi about all the 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.479 big NFL headlines. I can't wait to pick his brain. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.600 I've never met him, have you, No, No, I can't 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.000 wait too. Uh. He's got so much great takes. He's 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.600 such an entertaining guy. And I mean, you'd be hard 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:09.520 pressed to find somebody with as much extensive NFL experience. 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.000 The guys have been around the game for so long. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.480 Just to go back to your point about the Ravens, 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.719 you know what, I really listened. I listened. I listened. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.120 I listened to your unleashed I think it was a 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.400 couple of weeks ago, and you sold me you're unleashed 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:29.560 about Lamar Jackson was so passionate. They've become my favorite team. Now, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.719 I mean I have to say, I have to have 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.159 I have a void to fill because it's almost like 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.159 giants aren't playing football. So I mean, I'm glad I 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.560 picked them, and now they're also in my heart. I mean, 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:46.000 they are playing incredible football. And Lamar Jackson is looks 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.320 like he worked on his game. I mean he's passing, 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.640 he's sitting in the pocket, he's running when he has to. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.440 Their defense looks great. They're gonna win it all. I 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.320 know every week I say somebody different is gonna win 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.479 it all. But I'll tell you what. The Ravens are 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:01.039 gonna win it all. Okay, gonna tell our social media 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.440 team to clip that right there, and we're gonna hold 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.080 you to it. I agree. They are really fun to watch, 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.400 But why did they make a statement this weekend beating 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.000 the Chargers. Everyone was so high on the Chargers, myself included, 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.680 so that caused a little separation in the a f C. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.640 And the a f C is so strong this year, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.320 so that that was really fun. You know who didn't 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.200 have as good of a weekend as the Ravens and 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.640 Lamar Jackson? You because you got sick? Yeah, can you hear? 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.240 How can jestin. I am good, Laurence know you because 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.520 you're now broke after this christening. We both we both lost, Yeah, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.480 we both lost our healths mental health. Well. Also he 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.080 lost is at Thick the Kid and that's thick with 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.680 two c's, which is my favorite kind of thick. Thick 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.480 the Kid. He had a tough time with some parlays 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.680 this week, so bad that he won Bad Beat of 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:57.640 the Week. Bad Beat of the Week. He bet on 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.920 six games, five of those hit. Gotta hate it when 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.960 just one loses. He lost money on the Chargers, speaking 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.600 of that game, a lot of people did and the Browns. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.320 So tough luck, Mr Thick, but bet MGM is going 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.160 to reward you with a hundred dollar credit so you 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.800 can try your luck again asap. Okay, it's now our 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.280 favorite segment of the show. It's time for us to 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.679 go off on one topic we feel really passionate about 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:29.400 this week. Jannice, let's unleash. It's time we just talked 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.199 about big statement wins in the NFL this week in Jannice, 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.319 I know you wanted to unleash on someone who made 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.880 a huge statement this week, and I love this one. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:42.000 Take it away, my friend yes, oh h d. I 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.760 gotta tell you, you know what, it's just fun to watch. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.720 I have love for sports journalists because you're my co 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.480 host and I love you to death. But it's just 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:58.160 fun to see when players show up storylines, especially when 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:04.400 it's the goat our a in Rogers Week one, every journalist, 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.679 everybody was saying, oh my god, he doesn't want to 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.000 be there. Does he want to play? He looks halfharded. 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.040 Blah blah blah blah. Say it again. Guilty, yes, guilty, 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:20.000 has charged. I'm looking right at you, girl. But you know, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.040 he went into Chicago. He went into Chicago and he 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.760 had a little message. As you know, it's been all 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.760 over every sports network, all over the internet. He had 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.920 a little message for the fans of Chicago. He wants 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.680 them to know that he still owns them. He didn't 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:40.800 say it once. He didn't say it twice, Dare He 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.760 didn't say it trice. He said it about a hundred times. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.280 He was jacked up, he was excited. Does that look 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.160 like the disposition of a player who's phoned it in? 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.160 Does the Packers record right now look like a record 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.199 of the former m v P phoning it him? He 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.040 is absolutely kill on it, And I just want to 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.079 remind a few people of what they said. Frank Iowa said, 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.679 Aaron Rodgers played like a guy. This was after week one. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.920 Aaron Rodgers played like a guy that wasn't engaged. How 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.320 about that jump pass he threw for an interception. That's 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.360 something a rookie does. What how dare you disrespect to 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.880 go Kevin Blackstone. It almost looked like it was planned 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:25.280 to rub his thumb in the eyes of the fans. Huh, Emily, yes, 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.360 what yeah? I mean people started they started resorting to 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:33.560 conspiracy theories after one game. After one game, how about 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.880 it was a bad game and it was a bad 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.040 off season. It wasn't bad offseason. I know he did 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.720 have that disposition. I know there was the talk that 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.280 he wants out. I know he was upset about the 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.080 players around him, But he's still Aaron Rodgers. You don't 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:51.320 become the m v P by phoning it in or 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.640 not being competitive and playing with what you got. This 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.640 is a good one. Tony Kornheiser, I love this one. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.880 I have wondered all through train an in camp. See 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.480 he's thinking he's the genius here, and I'm wondering now 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.280 if his heart with this is with his team in 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.880 Green Bay, or if he's just counting the days until 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.000 he can leave, I don't I don't know if he does. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.079 I know he doesn't like the coach. I know it 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.040 doesn't like the general manager. And what's worse, I wonder 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.120 if this bleeds over to the rest of the team 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.120 and they wonder about Aaron Rodgers. Well, I tell you what, 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.360 after that touchdown celebration with his teammates, it doesn't look 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.120 like they're wondering about anything except if they're gonna win 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.960 a super Bowl. Because my man, Aaron Rodgers is jacked 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.640 up and he's throwing ropes, he's throwing dimes. I'm a 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.200 Green Bay Packers fan. Now, they're gonna win it all? Olivia, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.000 did I say they're gonna win it all? Yes, you 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.760 have now been on the record saying they too, will 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.160 win it all. So I wanted to tell you what 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.080 win it a halt me? But I know that's a 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.400 fun rivalry. What is he now, twenty one and five 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.680 or twenty two and five against the Bears and he's 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.440 having fun out there, and he's got the quote of 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.400 the season that you made. Now your profile sent how 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.200 can you not be romantic about football, which is now 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.280 I think in your Instagram bio, it is in my 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.120 Instagram bio. I feel like that just kind of sums 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.600 me up. So it was just fun to see him 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.760 show up reporters. So please, reporters, take it easy with 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:20.440 the histrionics, report the numbers, easy on the dramatic storyline. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.920 Saved that for the Real Housewives or for something a 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.679 little bit more legitimate like the Mahomes family. Well, you've 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.720 led me right into mine kind of because you know, 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.360 I wanted to unleash on Jackson Mahomes doing a TikTok 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.920 dance in the roped off area honoring the late Sean 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.120 Taylor at the Chiefs game in Washington this past weekend. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.600 And what an embarrassment overall he has been. He poured 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.640 water on a Ravens fan earlier this season. But I 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.760 just didn't think I could harp on that family two 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.560 weeks in a row. That seemed not right. Although it 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.559 is making national headlines, and although that is a huge 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.560 distraction right now, Patrick Mahomes, he's so clean cut, he's 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.880 got no issues. He's got issues on the field right now, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:05.920 but everyone can forgive him for that. He's a long 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.160 time investment his family man, and I know so many 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.680 rumors here in Kansas City that are horrible about his family. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.840 And I'm just the disrespect, the entitlement. I've just had it. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:19.080 And this isn't even what I'm unleashing on. This is 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.240 just my segway. But I just think someone needs to 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.000 take away Jackson mahomes sideline access and change his TikTok password. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.440 Maybe they can change it to something he'll never guess, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:34.480 like humility, class a respect. I got jokes to Janice, 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.520 I got choked. Okay, this is what I really want 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.840 to un leash on. Ole Miss traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.320 this weekend to play the Balls. That means that Revel's 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.240 head coach Lane Kiffin returned to his old stomping grounds 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.360 and you a long story short, Balls fans are still 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.840 mad at him because he jilted them with a very 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:57.400 unceremonious one minute press conference going to USC that was 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.840 twelve years ago. Well, he got obviously walking out pregame 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.320 that was to be expected, but later in the game, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.560 Tennessee fans were mad at a controversial spot on a 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.720 fourth down play and all hell broke loose. They started 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.800 throwing objects onto the field, which again we've seen before 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.679 in sports. But listen to what they threw. Water bottles, screws, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.000 half eaten apple, who brings an apple to a football game? 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:28.440 Vape pipes, and even a half empty mustard bottle, which 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.160 that just makes me mad. Some poor concession stand worker 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.000 was organizing their hot dog and the relish and they're 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.440 catch up and everything like a where the mustard go? 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.080 Come on? Well, Lane remained calm, even kept a golf 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.960 ball that was thrown at him as a memento. He 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.680 could probably sell that on eBay for a lot of 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.080 money right now. And on his way into the tunnel, 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.920 he takes off his visor and he throws it into 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:53.720 the stands, which is hilarious. Lane Lane Kiffin himself is hilarious. 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.880 He has a way of rilling people up. Anyways. But 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.760 this Tennessee fan base has gotten a bad rap for 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:04.400 you years, and boy did this get people angry. On Twitter. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.520 I saw so many national sports writers who are so 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.000 well respected tweeting about how bad the fan base look 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.880 this night. And I saw some local radio hosts in 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.200 Knoxville say you are never welcome on our show again. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:21.200 I mean this is now going past the fans into 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.080 the media who you love and man, it was it 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.200 was some good entertainment. But this fan base when they 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.080 almost hired Greg Ciano a couple of years ago, they 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.520 protested like crazy. When Lane left, they lit mattresses on 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.000 fire in the middle of the street. I mean points 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:42.320 for creativity though, between lit mattresses and mustard bottles on 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.160 a football field. I mean, this fan base is creative. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.080 They are angry and they and you know I'm a 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.120 Georgia fan, So this has nothing to do with that. 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:54.200 This isn't an sec rivalry thing. I just I mean 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.640 I think Jackson Mahomes and these Tennessee football fans could 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.000 have themselves the time because neither one knows how to behave. 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:04.480 That's from the same cloth. Yeah, water bottles, vape pipe screws, 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.080 half eating apple and a half eaten mustard bottle and 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.480 a mattress set on fire. It sounds like what you'd 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.760 find after you went camping in a bear ate all 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.320 your stuff and you woke up in the morning and 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.200 that was what was left. Half eating apple and half 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.720 of a mustard bottle. Oh my god, I love unleashing 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.880 with you. It's so fun. We have all these crazy 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.320 things that happened throughout the week and weekend, and it's 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.800 just fun to pick our favorites. So I love that segment. Okay, 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.160 it's time to bringing our guest. He is the author 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:36.080 of Gridyon Genius. He's a longtime NFL coach, exact an analyst, 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.560 one of the brightest football minds in the business. And 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.760 that is according to Bill Belichick himself. He's a three 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.800 time Super Bowl winner. For him, born to Run isn't 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.920 just a Springsteen anthem, It's an offensive strategy. Michael Lombardi 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:59.040 is here. Okay, we're gonna talk about the NFL season 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.280 in just a bit. But you've gotten to work with 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.480 some of the most iconic names in NFL history. Al Davis, 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.600 Bill Walsh, Bill Belichick. You got to learn from them 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.520 and teach them too, I imagine in ways and put 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.760 in a fantastic book. By the way, but we need 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:18.359 to talk about Al Davis's legendary eating schedule because this 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.800 was fascinating. I know eleven French fires are involved a 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.640 bunch of diet PEPSI walk us through his eating schedule. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.600 Oh gosh, yeah, that that that's always an interesting one. 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.359 So you know, Mr Davis was never an early riser, 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.520 so he was at ten thirty, you know, he probably 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:39.840 would have some kind of fruit and diet pepsi. And 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:44.960 then around the one o'clock it would either be a 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:49.280 tuna fish sandwich with extra mayonnaise, maybe McDonald's french fries, 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.760 could have a cheese burger from McDonald's always could go 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.400 with Kentucky fried chicken with coleslaw on the side, extra mayonnaise. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:01.399 And then at three o'clock always is always three. Between 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:04.359 three and three thirty he would have German chocolate cake 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.600 from any bakery anywhere. It could even be stale actually, 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.359 and a diapepsi. And then he would go work out 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.239 at five thirty six, and then at dinner time at 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.320 a thirty it would be some kind of prime red 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:22.719 English cut, eleven French fries, shrimp cocktail Caesar style, a 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.879 lot of Mannies going in that body. So it was 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.560 a unique diet, there's no doubt. But it was consistent, 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.119 it was always consistent. It didn't get changed too often. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.679 But you know, he liked fast food for some reason, 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.360 and he had his favorite He had his favorite restaurants. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.320 When he lived in Los Angeles, he loved Matteos, which 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.399 was over off of Wiltshire Boulevard, kind of in the 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.840 you know, by U. C. L A. Area. So but yeah, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.760 he would any like Chinese food. I mean it was 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:54.959 it all the pennedd was. But always always with a diapepsies. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.320 That's a great question. I don't think any of us 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.399 know the answer to that. We really but I've been 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.520 at a table with him where the waitress was trying 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.560 to be really nice and brought way more French fries 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.600 than they all got sent back. So you can't explain that. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.120 It sounds a lot like Bill Bill Clinton's diet. Clinton 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:13.639 isn't he a vegan now? He is now? But I 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.159 mean what got him there? I mean, that's that's the 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.920 diet that sounds like I got him there? Now. I 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.240 remember reading the book Primary Colors, and he was a 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.159 doughnut guy and a barbecue guy. You know, I was 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.159 a fast food guy. Loved mayonnaise for some reason. I 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:30.240 just loved it, and you know, love diet PEPSI never coffee, 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:32.960 and now would he go to comb I love hot dogs, 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.639 just muster down the middle, you know, he would have 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.760 the you know, he would have certain diets there, and 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:39.959 then he would eat at Shula Steakhouse at the Combine 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.440 every single night. Michael, let me give you a little 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.560 tip because I love mayonnaise too, and often I would 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.480 go to a place and they wouldn't put as much 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.000 mayonnaise as I wanted on there. So I figured out 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.960 the perfect way to let them know I meant business. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.040 You have to tell them offend me with the mayonnaise. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:02.679 Did you ever dip your shrimp cocktail and mayonnaise? I have, 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.280 I've dipped it. I've dipped everything in manonnaise. I love mayonnaise. 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.480 I put mayonnaise on everything. You know, when he had Caesar, 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.000 it was always with extra mannaise. Tuna fish was always 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.640 with extra and manaise. I've never heard don't offend. That's 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.600 a great line. I might have to try that one. 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.199 I eat mayonnaise, but I'm not in love with it 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.920 like he was. Got I think any little bit of 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:26.040 mayonnaise is a bit offensive. That's kind of growth. You 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.919 can see that. That's the first question you asked me. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.480 I usually don't get asked out. Davis his diet too much. 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.800 I was so curious. I had to ask. I saw 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.960 that on Twitter and I was just so stupefied. I 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.600 had to ask you. But from that list of names 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.719 that I listed of just legendary people around the NFL, 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.600 is there one characteristic or attribute that you do feel 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.119 like they all had. Yeah. I think they all have 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:55.480 an incredible, incredible passion to focus on the task at half. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.800 You know, we are living a multidimensional world today where 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.720 we're supposed to do three or five things at the 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.520 same time, and we've got all this, and I think 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.679 that they all did one thing really really well. They 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.679 did a lot of things, but when they focused on 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.840 the one thing that they were working on, it was 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.280 always really well done. They didn't they didn't give half 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.760 attention to anything, Michael. I don't know if you watched 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.919 the Pittsburgh game this last weekend, did you see that 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:26.120 t J. Watt play where he seemingly punched and did 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.480 like an uppercut and the refs completely ignored. I thought 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.159 they should have thrown him out of the game. I 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.520 really didn't. It should have got injected from the game 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.120 for punching. Yeah, I mean what happened there, I mean, 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.359 was that because of his star power that they ignored it. 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:40.119 What what was he trying to do? Was that? Was 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:41.359 he trying to hit him or was he trying to 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:43.720
