1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,440
Speaker 1: May.

2
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 2: How we doing this week?

3
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: What's going on? How you doing?

4
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: We're doing great. We are very much excited to have

5
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: a January week where we're preparing for a playoff game.

6
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, I wanted to ask you.

7
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: I asked Marcus Jones, your teammate co captain this earlier,

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: did you have a chance last night today to just

9
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: sit back, maybe just for a few minutes and kind

10
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: of reflect on the season, enjoy that the regular season's over,

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: you got fourteen wins, you are the number two seed,

12
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: or are you just too focused on moving ahead in

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: the Chargers.

14
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the after the locker room, it was a good

15
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: refleshing point to look back on the season and what

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: we've done. And I think it's now kind into the

17
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: week where it it's playoff time, so it's time to go.

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 3: So Drake, yesterday I saw in the second half a

19
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: lot of very meaningful passes were being thrown around the

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: yard yesterday helping some of your teammates reach incentives. And

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: it seemed to be Obviously there were a lot of

22
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 3: reasons to be joyful because you guys were winning and

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: capping off a remarkable season, but seemed like you guys

24
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: took a lot of joy you, especially in helping some

25
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 3: of your teammates reach those incentives yesterday afternoon.

26
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: How much did that matter to you.

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I think it's a cool part of the game that,

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, people that work hard and keep rewarded for

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: you know, kind of bonuses that they hit and it's

30
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: a it's a lot of money, and I think at

31
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's it's cool in their

32
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: position to kind of get things like that at the

33
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: end of the game where we got it kind of

34
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: handled and and can can focus on things like that

35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: and not absolutely like I said in my post game

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: press conference, really, the only time I felt we were

37
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: a little uh, you know, this team is selfish. I

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: allays try to get some of those guys some extra,

39
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, things that they deserve and work so hard.

40
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: For Drake, you've been very gracious and deferential whenever anybody

41
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: asked about how well you're playing m VP blah blah blah,

42
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: with all due respect, and I think you might agree

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: with this. Ramondre Stevenson might be the best player on

44
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: the offense over the last three weeks or so. How

45
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: good has he been and how important can he be?

46
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: As a weapon heading into the postseason.

47
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I said all year, we haven't lost confidence.

48
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: And and Remandre he brings it every week. He's all

49
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: three phases, running the ball, catching the football, pass, block,

50
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: and he's a he ged going, he's a he's a

51
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: great teammate. He's never you know, gets too high, too low.

52
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: He's always this you know, cool, calm and and uh

53
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a smile on his face, and

54
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: he's a He's been a great addition for us this season.

55
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I know's that's some you know kind of bounce back

56
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: earlier on in the year, and we never lost out

57
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: anime ficivily, civically, you know, myself and good McDaniels and

58
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: the guys in the offense really you know, trusted in

59
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: and coach Brabel, you know, the whole way.

60
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: You know, Drake, you got a lot to be proud

61
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: of this season.

62
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, the incredible turnaround from four and thirteen

63
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: last year to fourteen and three this year, being in

64
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: the MVP discussion, being so popular and having the top

65
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: selling jersey, having so many you know, new fans and

66
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 3: Patriots Nation trusting you, having faith that things are are

67
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: are turned around. So I'm just kind of curious, what

68
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: do you take the most pride in of all the

69
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: of all the excellent things that you've earned and that

70
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: have happened this year.

71
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the same thing I said last night. I think

72
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: for team wins, I think just you trying to be

73
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: the same eachin every week and not change in my

74
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: preparation or what I do and what I focus on.

75
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: And from there, just the ability to spread the ball

76
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: around offense is always a cool deal when everybody's making

77
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: plays and everybody's having their moments and having their games

78
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: and just cares about winning.

79
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: Drake May, quarterback New England Patriots, Here on a Patriots

80
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Monday on WEI afternoons. Drake, I'm wondering, because this is

81
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: your first full season as the starter, in your first

82
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: year with Josh McDaniels, how has your input in game

83
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: planning or play selection or some of the aspects of

84
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 2: the offense and the play calling. How has that evolved

85
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: over the course of the season. Do you have more

86
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: say now late in the year than maybe you did

87
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: early in the year.

88
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: I think it's just more trust between me and coach

89
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: of what plays I like, what plays I can get

90
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: out of and every bit to plays. And I think

91
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: just for coaches of us be on the same page

92
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: of when to you know, knowing the situation and when

93
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: to be aggressive and when to be just trying to

94
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: move the change to pick up the first first down.

95
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: So, after a full season with Josh McDaniels, now two

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: years in the league and all all these starts and

97
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: a lot of big wins this year, what would you

98
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 3: say which aspect of your game do you believe has

99
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: improved the most after your sophomore season in the NFL.

100
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I think just just playing a position. What think it

101
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: comes with leadership, you know, growing as you know on

102
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: the field of known situations. Just keep on You're trying to,

103
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: you know, learn as much footballs. I can't slok him

104
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: as much knowledge about what situation we're in, what situation,

105
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: uh your point of the game we're at, and just

106
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: trying to play the position at a high level. And

107
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: I think just trying to continue to do that and

108
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: grow in any aspect I can is something I'm to

109
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: keep on working towards and trying to find two things.

110
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: Your buddy Will Campbell got back out there yesterday and

111
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: then post game he had some really interesting comments. He said,

112
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 2: there's no coach he'd rather play for than than coach Frable,

113
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: and he's having as much fun with this team as

114
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: he had since high school. And he was told that

115
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: the NFL wasn't fun, that it was a business. Do

116
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: you sort of agree with those sentiments? Is there no

117
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: coach you'd rather play for? And are you having as

118
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: much fun as maybe you've ever had?

119
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 1: It's been a blast. It's been a blasted coach Rabel

120
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: and uh, just the way he cares about us, but

121
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: at the same time as a the respect of all

122
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room and and how already

123
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: coaches us and how already coaches the players that are

124
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, mean the most of the team. And I

125
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: think that's one of the cool things about him. I

126
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: feel like he makes he insureds that we all, you know,

127
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: mean the most of the team, and everybody's got a

128
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: civic role and a big role and uh showing up

129
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: on some days and winning games. And I think that's

130
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: one of the best things. He always says it takes everybody,

131
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: and I think I think it's that's came true this

132
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: year and it's been huge for us.

133
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: Speaking of Will Campbell, your guy, Big Country. How did

134
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: it feel to have your buddy back out there, protecting

135
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: your blind side and involved in the game plan, knocking

136
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: a little rust off, getting ready for the playoffs.

137
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great having Big Willy back out there. I

138
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: told him you are on a gou out there in

139
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: the huddle and good to have you back, Big Willie.

140
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: Let's go go down score and we had, you know,

141
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: three handoffs and we were in the end. Zon himself,

142
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool.

143
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: I saw you a couple times yesterday and end those

144
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: runs going head first instead of sliding. Was that circumstantial?

145
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: Was that intentional? Because I'm actually somebody who thinks that

146
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: can be safer And Greg Olsen brought that up on

147
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: the broadcast that the former tight end said that that's

148
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: what he would teach. He thinks it's safer when quarterbacks

149
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 2: go head first because they control where their head goes.

150
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: Just wondering was that intentionally yesterday? Have you thought about that?

151
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, we're super protected, and I

152
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is the ball is is farther

153
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: down the field, and when I slide, you know, fee first,

154
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: that's my trying to get pick up first downs. Trying

155
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: to slide head first.

156
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 3: So now that you guys wrap up the regular season,

157
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,200

Speaker 1: No, I think you know what you know, the next

179
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: game has always been the biggest game, and I think

180
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: you know it's a it's definitely heightened, you know, anticipation

181
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: and pressure, but it's what you prepare and practice for

182
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: and and all these things that you know they always

183
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: say is your preparation and believe in your teammates, and uh,

184
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: just following our day that we've had this year, is

185
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: we'll make it feel confident and ready to go.

186
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

187
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: It sort of looked like it may be the Chargers

188
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: the way things were likely to have played out, uh

189
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: in Week eighteen. So you guys probably have had a

190
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: gut feeling for a little while now that you may

191
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 3: be matching up with them, and that's what's happened in

192
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: Sunday night. Have you had a chance to get to

193
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: work on him yet, And what do you think overall

194
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: of the Los Angeles Chargers and what kind of challenge

195
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: they're going to present?

196
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember we played him last year, same Deefen

197
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: coordinated a lot of the same players where they're physical,

198
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: they're good up front, they're good in the back end,

199
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: they play a lot of his own and we'll have

200
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: our hands full with a good opponent coming in here

201
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: with a you know, a good great quarterback and a

202
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: good offense as well.

203
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: You mentioned the quarterback. We've done a lot of the

204
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: Drake May Josh Allen comparisons, but Justin Herbert's another guy

205
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: you've been compared to quite a bit. Do you do

206
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: you like his game? Do you see that comparison? What

207
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on Justin Herbert?

208
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm a huge fan of Justin and what he does,

209
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, a year and a year out and have

210
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: been in big fan since watching him, you know, back

211
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: at Oregon. So you know, he spends the football at

212
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: a very high level. He can move and make plays

213
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: and one of the best things about him I think

214
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: is his personality and just wanted to win and how

215
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: he you know, how I see you know, videos and

216
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: stuff about him, you know, bottom with his teammates and

217
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, the big fan of his

218
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: game and look forward to you know, mentioning up with them.

219
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: Are there any sort of past Patriots or friends people

220
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: in the league that you would consider checking in with about,

221
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, how the game is so different in the playoffs,

222
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: or just picking the brain up for a little advice

223
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: just to try to gain every competitive advantage you can

224
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 3: heading into Sunday night.

225
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a players on our team that's

226
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: played in high playoffs scenarios. Coach mcgais obviously played in

227
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: a lot of these games and coaching a lot of them,

228
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and coached Rabel. I mean, what better than coach Rabel

229
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: playing at a high level and our head coach was

230
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: right there in the building.

231
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: How are you feeling at this point in the season,

232
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: both physically and mentally? Has this felt like a long year?

233
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you've played, you know, seventeen football games. Now

234
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: you've taken a bunch of hits. I'm sure you're working

235
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 2: really hard, stressed out at times prepping. How are you

236
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: feeling mentally and physically as you head to the playoffs.

237
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: I'm feeling great. You know. I think it goes by

238
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: so fast. And think where we were at, you know,

239
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: a year and ago this time I was packing up

240
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: my stuff. So what a time to be playing quarterbacks

241
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: for the Newland Patriots and look forward to get a

242
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: chance to play a home playoff game. That's that's pretty

243
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: special and take advantage of every opportunity I get until

244
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: they for granted what the opportunity we have and what

245
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: a time for may or may not.

246
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: May or may not. It's time for a weekly peak

247
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: may not inside the Likes, Loves, Mind and Style the

248
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: New England's quarterback or may not may not on w

249
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: e E I afternoons. All right, Drake, you had some

250
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: interesting comments about college bowl games last week and this

251
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: week the transfer portal is open, so that had me thinking, nil,

252
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: money and the transfer portal are good for college football.

253
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: May or may not?

254
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: I lost a little bit.

255
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: N I l money and the transfer portal are good

256
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: for college football. May or may not.

257
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think the transfer portal is uh. I

258
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: think it's it is great for cost of ball for

259
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: so many kids that get the opportunity to go play

260
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: somewhere else or get a bigger opportunity. I think there

261
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: should be a limit on when the portal can be

262
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: used and cannot I think they just added a new

263
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: one way. It's totally sure, but I think transport is

264
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: a good deal. I think college athletes getting paid for

265
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: how much you know, revenue, the bringing of the school

266
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: is good for the good for the kids, and good

267
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: for the players. I think it's needed to create some

268
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: type of you know, cap or something. So all these

269
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: teams that are you know, have a fair you know,

270
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: even chance or whether it's tiered or have or for

271
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: competing and for championships. But I think it's a pretty

272
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: cool deal with cost of Paul's getting too and it

273
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: really prepping these guys for the league that we're in. Now.

274
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, we flipped a page on the calendar. It is

275
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: a new year, twenty twenty six. Uh, so we wanted

276
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 3: to know may or may not wishing happy new year

277
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 3: to people after the first four days of the new year.

278
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we can really the whole month of January.

279
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: I think it's a happy new year, I think, and

280
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, after that, I think it maybe

281
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: February starts seating a little a little well you would read,

282
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: but I think anytime you see somebody for the first time,

283
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: and in January, I think it's a it's safe, it's safe.

284
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: All right.

285
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: Along those same lines, a lot of people are cutting

286
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: back on a certain thing and it's a very polarizing topic.

287
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: Dry January, may or may not.

288
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, I'm following the New Year's resolution. I

289
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: don't know about dry January. I haven't drever asy much

290
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: as that I've heard a couple of times. But I

291
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: think the year's resolutions I like. I like those and

292
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: seeing how long and whether it's a year or how

293
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: long you can go.

294
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: All right, So continuing on the New year theme, keeping

295
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: your Christmas decorations up into mid or late January, may

296
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: or may not.

297
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be up to me. I think my wife is.

298
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: I think she's taking them down probably as we so

299
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: she's doing that, and I think I think it's pretty

300
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: as long as it's snow on the ground. That kind

301
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: of reminds me of the Christmas season, and it was

302
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: sowing around here for a while. So maybe maybe the

303
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Tbruary and February March would be a little too long,

304
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: I think absolutely.

305
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: Okay. So watching the game yesterday, we're starting to see

306
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: more and more Drake May commercials. There's a financial one

307
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: where you're pulling ginger snaps out of the oven and

308
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: various things. So filming commercials may or may not.

309
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: I think may. I think anytime that you can, you

310
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: try to do something out of your ordinary, out of

311
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: the comfort zone. You know, I don't think I'm a

312
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: great actor, and I got a sudden drawl so people

313
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,680

Speaker 1: for it.

316
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: So how many takes are there for some of these

317
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: ads we see? Are they quick? Or you get it

318
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: done in one take? Or is this take a while?

319
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was pretty good. I got a pretty good

320
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: memory and they usually like my my charm that I

321
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480

328
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: Matt Damon, the Wallberg's Ben Affleck. So the idea of

329
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: taking your talents to Hollywood for TV or movie cameos

330
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,280

336
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,480

337
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:40,880

Speaker 2: So this week, uh time now for the Quarterback Question

343
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: of the Week. The Quarterback Question of the Week is

344
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: brought to you by Northeast Men's Health, the experts in

345
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: treating men's sexual help with six New England offices or

346
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 2: at Northeast Men'shealth dot com. This week's question comes from

347
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: Ted and Taunton. He says he and his family think

348
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: you are the NFL MVP, but if he asked you

349
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 2: to state your case for the award, what would you say?

350
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: Your case is to be the NFL MVP.

351
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,200

Speaker 1: that a lot of people, you know, would have bet

354
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,080

Speaker 1: get lots of it's involved as what I'm trying to do.

358
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,520

00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,600
