1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: The volume. What is going on everybody? How are we doing?

2
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone's doing well, getting ready for the weekend. Hopefully

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: you had a better day, better week than the Commanders

4
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: because they're star wide. Receiver wants more money. They said no.

5
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: Now he wants a trade and they said no. So

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: weird situation brewing in Washington. I will give my reaction.

7
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I actually recorded the podcast. Then I saw that story broke.

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll give my take on that, so that

9
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: we'll put that near the front of the podcast, and

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: then we'll talk some quarterbacks from somehow. The Madden rankings

11
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: have Mahomes fourth, the gambling odds on DraftKings have the

12
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs below the Ravens and the Bills pretty crazy. So

13
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: we'll dive into is it now or never for the

14
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Bills or the Ravens, and some thoughts on some of

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the younger quarterbacks, as well as Tom Brady telling Scottie

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Scheffler that his mind and his process and his overall

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on winning a wrong, as well as Fugazy Friday.

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: Have we lost the plot on what actual controversies are

19
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: in life? Because I think we might have the Sydney

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Sweeney thing, which I thought was gonna be a blip

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: just has not gone away, and I do want to

22
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: dive into do we even know what really real controversies

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: are anymore? Because I'm not sure we do. So I'll

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: probably save a mail bag for Sunday, which podcast for Monday,

25
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: for the weekend, and other than that. Yeah, you guys

Speaker 1: every angle possible. But you know, I gotta tell you

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: about my friends, my partners in the official ticketing gap

33
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Obviously, football is back in the air.

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: We got football games after football games. No. Granted, if

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: I were you, I wouldn't want to go to a

36
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: preseason game. I've been to a couple, always regretted him.

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes didn't have a choice I was working. But regular

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: season football is not that far away. Obviously. The NFL

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: starts in early September. College football starts a week before that.

40
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Any college football game you want to go to, any

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: NFL game you want to go do. I've been to

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: a ton of them. And you want to take a buddy,

43
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: you want to take a wife, you want to take

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: a dad, you want to get a present. Baseball is

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: your team making a run playoff. Baseball is the best. Obviously,

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: basketball will start in late October. We got concerts, comedy shows,

47
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: any event you want to do. We got you covered.

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: news from Jordan Schultz and Adam Schefter doubled down. I

57
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: got Brandon Ayuk liking the Instagram posts. Terry McLaurin has

58
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: officially requested a trade from the Washington Commanders, and we

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: have a bunch of different stuff going on around the

60
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: league right Trey Hendrickson's doing a hold in. Micah Parson

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: wants to get paid. We have contract situations now on

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: a yearly basis. And Adam Peters, who's with the forty

63
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: nine ers forever, who's the GM of Washington, has seen

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: him from Debo Deebo once requested to trade. Then he

65
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: showed up for OTAs for mandatory part training camp. I

66
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: can't even remember, but they worked out a contract and

67
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: obviously it didn't go that well, and now he's on

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. We've seen holdouts with Nick Bosa. Like

69
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Adam Peters has had a long experience when he was

70
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers of watching this situation happen.

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: But I also think this brings into light why all

72
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: these coaches and especially veteran players talk over and over

73
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: and over again about every year is of new year,

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: even with returning players, like guys get worse, guys get better,

75
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: Guys get injured, we get new players, we get coaches

76
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: come and go, you know, assistant coaches. Schemes can change.

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: You never know from year to year right how things

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: are going to play out. And Terry McLaurin has been

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: a part of this franchise when they were a joke

80
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: and obviously as a leader of this team and then

81
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: as they finally break out, he becomes the number one

82
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: target score at thirteen touchdowns and it's just an elite

83
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: player for them now. I also understand the complications, like

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm always understandable when management pushes back on older players,

85
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: guys with their third contract in the NFL with enormous money.

86
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: It makes teams uncomfortable. Seattle, I'm out on DK metcalf Right.

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: I know DK requests a trade. I promise you this,

88
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: if Seattle would have put a lot of money in

89
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: from in front of them, he would have signed it. Right.

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: So we have seen guys this offseason, Miles Garrett, TJ Watt,

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Max Crosby get enormous third contracts. I'd say all three

92
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: of those guys are somewhat outliars and played the second

93
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: most important position behind quarterback. I do think Adam Peters

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: when he traded for Deebo Samuel, which I like the

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: move I would have done it too, had to impact

96
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: Terry a little bit because this GM, this head coach,

97
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: they didn't draft you, right that the contract you're on

98
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: they had nothing to do with, even though you produced

99
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: for them, and I'm sure they like them. It just

100
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: shows you, like, hey, he'll bring in his guy immediately

101
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: when given the opportunity, and myself, like Deebo, are both

102
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: in contract years. We're fighting for more money. We want

103
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: to get paid more, and Terry coming off of good

104
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: year debo is not but goes, hey, if you like me,

105
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: now's the time. Why are we gonna play this thing out?

106
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: And if you're Washington, like, hey, we'd like to see

107
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years of this before we give you

108
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: thirty five million dollars a year. And while Adam wasn't

109
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: with the Niners last year, he just saw the forty

110
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: nine ers give Ayuk different situation. It was like Ke's

111
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: first contract extension, a contract that they immediately regretted. And

112
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: anytime that you're on this rookie contract, everyone's like, you

113
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: gotta load up, you gotta load up, and that is true,

114
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: but you got to feel comfortable about what you're loading

115
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: up for now, depending on I mean what I want

116
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: to give him one hundred million dollars guaranteed, I wouldn't

117
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: feel comfortable doing something like that. And when you have

118
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: a guy asking for thirty five plus million dollars, he's

119
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: not going to sign a two year contract. So it's

120
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: pretty easy to do the math. The guaranteed number is

121
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna be eighty five to ninety million dollars minimum

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: is what he's looking for. And clearly Washington right now

123
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: is uncomfortable doing that because if they weren't, I think

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: a contract would already be signed. But this is not

125
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: the NBA. When you demand a trade, you don't always go, Okay,

126
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: where do you want to go? As Chefter reported, the

127
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: Commanders have no desire and no intention of trading the player.

128
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: We plan on you being here, So these situations can

129
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: get weird. I saw Mike Silver. He interviewed Charvarius Ward,

130
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: who is now on the Colts, who two years ago

131
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: was an All Pro for the forty nine Ers. It's

132
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: had a great, great career, started on the Chiefs, signed

133
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: with the Niners, playing a bunch of big games, been

134
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: a high end player. Last year he had a tragedy

135
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: happened in in his life in the middle of the

136
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: season with a young daughter who passed away. Just awful situation.

137
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: But in this article he said, before that situation took

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: place in my mind, I couldn't even focus on football,

139
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: and I just I was out of it. I didn't

140
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: even want to play in the offseason, coming off an

141
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: All Pro season, like all the other guys on the team,

142
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: I wanted a new contract. I was going into my

143
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: final year. I wanted a contract extension. And the front

144
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: office looked at me and said, we're gonna pay all

145
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: these other guys. And then he said, guys started holding out.

146
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm at practice and they still get paid. I'm like,

147
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: what the fuck's going on here? I was just an

148
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: All Pro, I play at premium position, and you're not

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: gonna pay me, and that this was his point. Like

150
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I was pissed off, and I wasn't in a good

151
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: frame of mind. So anytime, I don't care who you are.

152
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: For most normal people that aren't talking anywhere near the numbers.

153
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: These guys are talking. In your job situation, when you

154
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: feel disrespected, especially if you work for a company or

155
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: work for someone or partners with someone and you've been

156
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: doing something for a long period of time. Terry's been

157
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: there for a while, you go, I haven't been just

158
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: a good soldier. I've been a productive member. I've been,

159
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons, one of the bright

160
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: spots for this dog shit place. And now that things

161
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: are going well, I'm thriving and you're like, yeah, we'll

162
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: figure you out later, Like it can get weird. And

163
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: I also understand where Adam Peters is coming from, like, hey,

164
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna be thirty years old or we're gonna give

165
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: you all this money, Like you're a good player, and

166
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: obviously you're productive and you have thirteen touchdowns last year,

167
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: But am I gonna pay you like you're jar Rice

168
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: or Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase because we know you're

169
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: not that. So you get in these weird situations and

170
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: this is why you gotta be careful. And I liked

171
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: what Adam did this offseason. Instead of using all the

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: cap space they had and sign typically random average guys

173
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: in free agency that you have to pay premiums for it,

174
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what, I'm gonna trade for veteran players,

175
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: not high picks, but mid round picks, for guys who

176
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: are under contract that make good money. Laramy Tunzel is available,

177
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: trade a third round pick for him, Deebo Samuel, who

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: I know is in the contract year. I'll trade like

179
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: a fifth or sixth round pick form and ideally we

180
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: get some good football out of those guys, right, and

181
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: then we can evaluate the end of the year, extend them,

182
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: move on from them. But like, I know what I'm

183
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: getting with the veteran guy. But sometimes when you do

184
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: that and you bring in their money and then there demands,

185
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: it kind of ruffled feathers inside the locker room because

186
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin looks at Deebo Samuel and goes, this year,

187
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: we're scheduled to essentially make the same amount. In what

188
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: world can I make the same amount as this guy?

189
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: I know he had success for that team a couple

190
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: of years ago, but not here. Not you know. I

191
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: saw this clip today on social media of Jerry Jones.

192
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: It must have been from Dion's like NFL network, a

193
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: Football Life probably, and Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones were

194
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: telling the story of you know, the cap had just

195
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: started in the mid nineties and Stephen Jones was like

196
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: their cap guy and Jerry didn't even ask him. It

197
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: signs Deon Sanders and at the time gives him like

198
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars signing bonus to sign with the Cowboys

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: after he had just won the Super Bowl with the Niners,

200
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: and basically the way they did it gave him thirteen

201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: million dollars up front and then they paid him like

202
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: the veteran minimum for the next couple of years, but

203
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: they gave him a ton of cash relative to the

204
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: NFL the time. And Stephen Jones was in this clip

205
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: going I looked at Jerry, I said, do you understand

206
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: how mad it's going to make all these accomplished guys

207
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 1: in our locker room. And Jerry said, don't worry. I'll

208
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: will handle it like it's on me to let Emma Smith,

209
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Troy Mean and Michael Irvin know why we did this.

210
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: And even if they were mad, Deon Sanders was in

211
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: the peak of his powers. Like when you trade or

212
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: signed Deon Sanders, everyone in the mid nineties goes, this

213
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: is one of the best players in football. This guy's

214
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: a chance to go down. It's one of the greatest

215
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: players ever. So even if you do bring in someone

216
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: to your locker room that you go, you know, this

217
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: guy's now the highest paid guy in our locker room.

218
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: We're a locker room full of guys that have had success,

219
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: but hey, this is one of the better players in

220
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: the league. Right if you go. If if Miles Garrett,

221
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: instead of signing with the Browns had been like, listen,

222
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna trade me, and Jimmy has will

223
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: be like, okay, we'll trade. You trade him to the Lions, right,

224
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: and they give him a huge contract that he just got.

225
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Obviously he would immediately become their highes paid per But

226
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: I think people in the locker room would go, yeah,

227
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: it's one of the best players in the league. You

228
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: trade for Miles Garrett, you trade for Max Crosby. It's

229
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: easy for people in the locker room to understand when

230
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: you trade for Laramie Tunzel, even if he's a really

231
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: good player. You go, this guy just the left tackle

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: for one of the worst offensive lines in the league,

233
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: and he's gonna want a ton of money. I know

234
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: you just traded for him to eventually sign him. You

235
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: trade for Debo who, Like, isn't the thing with this

236
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: guy had been he's like fat, notunt of shape, and

237
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: now we both make the same amount of money this

238
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: year on this team. Like, it's easy to get locker

239
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: room dynamics that we're dealing with human beings here did

240
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: all their information like sometimes information in what we do, right,

241
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: unless you know the right people, you don't know what

242
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: your colleague makes you don't know what other people make,

243
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: you know for your company. So if you found out

244
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: and someone that you thought you were five times more

245
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: productive than was making two times more money than you,

246
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: guess what would happen? You would be pissed off. What

247
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: would happen if they brought someone into the company that

248
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: you think you are one hundred percent better than, who

249
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: has no loyalty that to your company because he's never

250
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: been a part of it, and you find out he's

251
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: making the same money as you, you might be mad

252
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: as well. Like these are human reactions and human you know,

253
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: emotions that naturally come out. It's why it's on your boss,

254
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: It's why it's on people you know above you in

255
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: the company to handle those situations as best they can.

256
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: No different than Washington. It's on Adam, it's on Dan

257
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Quinn to try to handle these situations. But sometimes you know,

258
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: these guys are all rich, but money is about respect,

259
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: and when you feel disrespected, things can get weird. And

260
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: the moment they get weird, things can kind of unravel.

261
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: It's why year to year there is no It's like,

262
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: what the what the Patriots did for twenty years is incredible.

263
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: They's kept on winning what the what the Chiefs have

264
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: done these last five or six years is awesome. If

265
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles go back to back, that is such an

266
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: incredible accomplishment. Hell, if you just tell me, like, hey,

267
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: they're back in the NFC Championship game, Like that's really

268
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: really impressive. It's hard to do it year to year.

269
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: It's really really hard to sustain winning because it's Charvarius

270
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: Ward said in this article to Mike Silver. When you're

271
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: good and you start winning, everyone wants more money. Right.

272
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: It's like pat Riley talked about it. It's disease and

273
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: me disease and more. And then I remember John lanch Or,

274
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Warren sapp Or, there was a documentary done on the

275
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: on those Buccaneers teams, and it's like that year after

276
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl, a couple of contract holdouts,

277
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: a couple of dudes like names on restaurants. It's like, okay,

278
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: we're getting a little you know, can we keep the

279
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: focus the main thing, the main thing? And it's hard

280
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: because everyone's a business. Well yeah, it is a business

281
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: where you're dealing with human beings. They're young, making a

282
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,359
Speaker 1: ton of money and easily have huge egos and easily disrespected.

283
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: It's a tough business, you know, to handle this. I've

284
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: always given a lot of respect. It's like, well, anyone

285
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you know Joe Tory won with some of those Yankee teams.

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: Like it's hard to coach stars. You try to coach

287
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: Kobe Shack and Michael Jordan, god Speeds bet most of

288
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: you couldn't ask everyone that's tried to coach Lebron. He

289
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: won't fucking listen to anybody. So it's like, it's harder

290
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: to coach big egos, big stars than it is nobody's.

291
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: And typically the more you win in pro sports, especially football,

292
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: the bigger you know, your stardom becomes, the bigger your

293
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: name becomes, and the more money you want. So I

294
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say that Washington has a legitimate

295
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: problem on their hands. Pro golfers drive for show and

296
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: put for some dough. And the easiest way to make

297
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: you some dough betting on this week's tournament at Draftking

298
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Sportsbook from the opening round Championship Sunday, Draftking Sportsbook has

299
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you covered with live betting, player props and so much more.

300
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: If you've never bet on golfers before, it's easy you

301
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: can take them to win. You can take them to

302
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: top ten, you can take them top twenty. Some guys

303
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: this week I Hi. We're making the push toward the

304
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: FedEx playoffs. Ricky Fowler has been playing good golf, hammer

305
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: him to top twenty. Maxholm another guy who is trending

306
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,600

324
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: Well, the Madden ratings came out, and let me just

325
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: say I love John Madden. John Madden was a cow

326
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: Pauly alum where I went to school. John Madden lived

327
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: in northern California. John Madden was someone who was integral

328
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: and played a massive role in my life as growing

329
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: up a football fan. Him calling the Niners, Packers and

330
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: Cowboy games in the mid to late nineties is something

331
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: that I consumed, which obviously helped lead me to where

332
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: we're sitting today. My love of football began watching football

333
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: games with John Madden on the mic, and like most kids,

334
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I love playing the Madden video game, though I don't

335
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: play video games anymore. So reacting to the Madden list

336
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: of rankings, I'd be lying if I said I cared

337
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: that much. But I don't think you could list guys.

338
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: I got no problem giving people ninety nine s right,

339
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: great players high rankings, and if you're gonna do it

340
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: at quarterback, have no problem. If you go, you know,

341
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson are gonna get ninety Nines. But

342
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: if you do that, you have to give Patrick Mahomes

343
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: the same number you just middle. Coffy wasn't as good

344
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: every single game that has ever mattered. When he played

345
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: those two guys, his team wins, and he plays a

346
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: major role in that fact, Like that is an undeniable

347
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: spot where we're at. Yet those guys, somehow, Patrick Mahomes

348
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: is the fourth ranked guy on Madden. Which, listen, do

349
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs like live in this level of

350
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: anger and animosity at the disrespect others give them. I don't,

351
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: but I do think we've never seen it, definitely in

352
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: my life. A team that has accomplished more get their

353
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: star players, slash their organization, get less credit. Like when

354
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: I was a kid, once Michael established himself as the

355
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: big dog, the Bulls were favored every single year. If

356
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: the Bulls didn't win and Michael was playing. It was

357
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: stunning what Tom Brady and the Patriots became after those

358
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: first couple of years. You just thought they were always

359
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna It was shocking when they lost in the Super

360
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: Bowl or lost in the AFC Championship. I mean stunning.

361
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Yet somehow, and listen, I bought into it two years ago,

362
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: I bet on the Chiefs, or bet against the Chiefs

363
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: three straight weeks. They were an underdog against the Bills,

364
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: they were an underdog against the Ravens, and they were

365
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: underdog against the forty nine Ers. They won all the games.

366
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: And last year playing the Bills AFC Championship, what happens

367
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: they went again. And I looked at DraftKings earlier today

368
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: because I think I'm about dabbling a little actually, kind

369
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: of like I think the best odds on the board

370
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: would be splitting a bet somewhere in like Denver or

371
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers to win the AFC and Denver in the

372
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: Chargers potentially to win the division. Though that's just that's

373
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: just best odds. One thing that is not the best

374
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: odds is somehow the Chiefs, that have won the conference

375
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: five of the last six years, five of the last

376
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: six years, are not even the favorite to win the

377
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: conference again. A team that they've beat like four times

378
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, the Bills, another team in which I

379
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: was told this is one of the best teams we've

380
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: ever seen two years ago. Best defense, Chiefs beat them

381
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: on the road. The Ravens and the Bills. Right now,

382
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: obviously they're both heavy favorites to win their division. The Bills,

383
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean feel like the lock of all locks to

384
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: win their division, and it'd be a little stunning if

385
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens didn't win their division. But they're not just

386
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the favorites to win the conference, they're also the favorites

387
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: to win the super Bowl. They have better odds at

388
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: seven to one to win the Super Bowl than the

389
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champs, who essentially bring back everybody and

390
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: are completely loaded and don't have to play each other

391
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: because they're in the different conference. And the Chiefs, who

392
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: have slayed both these two teams over the course of

393
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: the last half decade, have worse odds than both of them.

394
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: It honestly is kind of crazy, the amount of disrespect

395
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: from a gambling standpoint, from a video game standpoint that

396
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, yeah, these guys are just better than

397
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They I remember, you know, on the peak

398
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: of Steph Curry's you know powers, you know, sometimes like

399
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: James Harden would win the MVP. It's like, does anyone

400
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: believe that James Harden's better Steph Curry? It's like, how

401
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Chris Paul is the best? Point? God, well, what does

402
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: that make Steph. You know you could if you had

403
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: a year where you put their rankings and one guy

404
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: was above the other, Like it's like James Harden's a

405
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: ninety eight in this video game, in Steph's a ninety five.

406
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: It's like, is there a human alive, especially working in

407
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: the league, that would take that guy over this guy.

408
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: It's like we all acknowledge, you know, mahomes one of

409
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: the greatest players we've ever seen, accomplish the most, wins

410
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the most, and just gets it done when it matters

411
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: the most all the time. Yet he it's like, yeah,

412
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: these other two guys, and listen, I think that Lamar

413
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Jackson and Josh Allen are two of the better players

414
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. They're guys that should walk straight into

415
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. But if they don't get it, Like,

416
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: if not now, then win now. I've been saying this

417
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: for a while. There's been one team over the course

418
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: the last six seven years that could truly be disappointed

419
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: if they didn't win the Super Bowl. That was the Chiefs,

420
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: And up until last year, I think there were a

421
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: couple of teams, the Eagles the Niners that could be

422
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: disappointed if they lost in the super Bowl, you know,

423
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: or if they didn't make the super Bowl. But it's like,

424
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Niners, you guys haven't won super Bowl

425
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: since the mid nineties. The Eagles, you won one super

426
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: Bowl in the history of your franchise in twenty seventeen.

427
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Getting the Super Bowl is a really, really big deal. Now,

428
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: if you get disappointed you lose in the first round,

429
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: I totally understand it. But is it truly super Bowl

430
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: or bust? Now you could argue this year with the

431
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Eagles bringing most people back, could be super Bowl or bust.

432
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: I would say anything less than a super Bowl appearance

433
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: for the Bills or the Ravens would have to be viewed,

434
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: assuming you know, all this stuff is assuming quarterback health.

435
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: A major major disappointment. They're the betting favorites. Fuck Madden's

436
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: given their quarterbacks ninety nine rankings, and it's like they

437
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: never won that game. The Bills have been in that

438
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: position several times. The Ravens were in that position last

439
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: year or two years ago. Then they fail every single time.

440
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: So it's like, listen, everyone is acknowledging these two teams,

441
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: These two guys in the peak of their powers, excellent

442
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: defensive coaches, excellent cultures in the franchises, but it feels

443
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: a little now or never, or you kind of start

444
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: to become like one of those teams. It's like, oh yeah,

445
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: just sexy regular season team, really good, but you can't

446
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: totally depend on when it matters the most. Speaking of

447
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks, think of what an advantage you know Caleb

448
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: is in the headlines constantly, right Ben Johnson. The training camp,

449
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: I'd say, JJ McCarthy's a little bit like this, Oh,

450
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: we know the coach, we know the defense, we know

451
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: the roster is really good. Like there are a lot

452
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: of question marks with the Bears, but Jayden Daniels and

453
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: bow Knicks are two guys that get to come into

454
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: this training camp where there is no turnover in terms

455
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: of their play caller, their head coach, their general manager,

456
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: their overall organization. It is the same exact cultural philosophy,

457
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: schematic ideas in plays that they were running last year.

458
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: So the advantage they have of just working on their leadership,

459
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: working on their growth, working on just getting better is

460
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: much easier when you already know the plays, When you

461
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: already know the plays you like, when you don't like

462
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: the things you need to work on, Caleb Williams is

463
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: coming into this drinking out of a fire hose, as

464
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: any new player is, or any young player is with

465
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: a new coach and new scheme. It's intense. So whenever

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: I read headlines like oh, just offense had a shitty day,

467
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, it's going to happen. This isn't easy,

468
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Like this is difficult. But he's had a pretty big

469
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: disadvantage relative to these other guys, and that's we're comparing,

470
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: Like part of Caleb is being compared to the class. Right.

471
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: Everyone thought Sean Payton was an idiot for taking bo Nicks.

472
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: I think the Bronks are gonna be pretty good. I

473
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: I they're gonna have one of the best defenses, if

474
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: not the best defense in the league. They had green

475
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Law and Hufunga, who you know. Green Law is one

476
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: of the more physical players in the NFL and who

477
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: had a couple years ago was an All Pro. So

478
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: it's like their defense was already elite. So he had

479
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: those two guys, assuming that just one of them's healthy,

480
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: let alone two of them big additions, and then offensively

481
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: they're just gonna be better. Their quarterback was pretty damn

482
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: good last year. For a rookie this year, he's gonna

483
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: be much more comfortable in this offense. The head coach

484
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: is an offensive coordinator, and they add this young running back,

485
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: which clearly the coach is really high on. I would

486
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: say the coach has some experience of dealing with pretty

487
00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: good running backs, So like it's gonna be pretty difficult,

488
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: Like Caleb's gonna have to play pretty well, Ben Jonson's,

489
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: Ben Johnsons gonna have to coach pretty well, and this

490
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: thing's gonna have to come together pretty quickly. This is

491
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the hard part about this modern day twenty twenty five NFL.

492
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: It's not like, hey, give them a couple of years,

493
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: they'll figure it out. Because if these guys have really

494
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: good years and their teams are really good again, right,

495
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: we know how good Washington was. If the Broncos take

496
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: a step and like are much more of a real threat.

497
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: Even if the Bears like make progress and look like

498
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: they're heading in the right direction and they win like

499
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: eight games, it'll be viewed like these other guys are

500
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: in a different universe than him. So I think, you know,

501
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: sometimes in football for young players having cohesion and listen,

502
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't blame the bears for firing everybody I would

503
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: have done to hiring Ben Johnson's a no brainer, but

504
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: that transition. Ben's got to learn on the job. Ben's

505
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: never been the head coach. Slash also called the place

506
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: and had to deal with like as guys get in trouble,

507
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: as guys get as guys get injured, as guys feelings

508
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: get hurt because they get benched, Like that's all the

509
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: stuff you have to deal with. I was watching the

510
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: Lions do as it's called like the den or something.

511
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: It's on on their YouTube page. It's really really well done.

512
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: And I was just watching how they put their staff

513
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: together and some of the guys they hired. I mean,

514
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: they hired North Dakota's longtime offensive coordinator, They brought in

515
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: David Shaw, they bring in Johnny Morton, who's been with

516
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: Cruden and Sean Payton forever and really highly thought of,

517
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: and just some of the guys that they've brought into

518
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: their coaching staff. It's all about Dan Campbell, like he's

519
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: the guy setting the tone, interviewing these guys running the culture,

520
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: and he just listen, are the Lions possibly going to

521
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: take a little step back? Potentially? Yeah, maybe, They're not

522
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: a fifteen win team, and maybe they're eleven win team, right,

523
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty confident with him leading the charge. I

524
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: call him the third Harbob brother. That they're gonna win,

525
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: that they're going to have a good season. And you

526
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: feel that way about John Harbaugh, Jim Horribad. It's like,

527
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: why are people buying into the Raiders because, like Pete

528
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: Carroll knows what he's doing. What Pete say, like last week,

529
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: they're like, what have your what are your expectations this year?

530
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: He's like to win. It's like, I've been winning ten

531
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: plus games for twenty years. I think I showed up

532
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: here to lose. I don't know if you realize I've

533
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: been making a lot of them. I don't need the money.

534
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm not here to get some extra paychecks. I'm here

535
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: to win. And obviously all coaches want to win, but

536
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: I think some guys have to figure out how to

537
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: win before and I think that's a huge, you know question, Mark,

538
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: I think with the Bears, and I would say for

539
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: the other young quarterbacks. I'd say the same thing with

540
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix, who I'm a big fan of. But that's

541
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: an organization that has just not been winning. We have

542
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: no clue if they're head coach, if their coordinators know

543
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: how to win, right, So learning and figuring that out

544
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: is a really, really big deal, no matter how much

545
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: talent you have, no matter how many good players you draft. Right,

546
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: this is two things really matter in football. Besides like

547
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: the physical characteristic and the scheme and all that stuff,

548
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: chemistry matters. Chemistry really matters, and cohesion and playing together

549
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: for a while matters. This is not one of those

550
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: it's white college football, you know. It has become more

551
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: interesting in the sense of how many transfer guys they have.

552
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Like one big advantage for Ohio State last year is

553
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 1: most of theirs guys returned right now. They added Caleb Downs,

554
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: they added Will Howard, they added a couple pieces. Jeremiah

555
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: Smith was a true freshman, but the core of their

556
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: team were returning players. Two years ago, when Harbaugh Michigan

557
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: won the national championship, what did they hang their hat

558
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: on the same core group of guys, Like the twenty

559
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: one of the twenty two starters had played together for

560
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: years years. It's kind of like that in football. What's

561
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: a huge advantage of the Chiefs have had all their

562
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: guys played together, and sometimes building that level of cohesion,

563
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: especially with a new coach on the job, can be

564
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: really really challenging, Like, well, what about Drake May and

565
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniel's. Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a work

566
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: in progress. Josh's offense won's when he's left the umbrella

567
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: of Brady and Bill has not been good, you know,

568
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: And he's got Drake May. They don't have that many pieces.

569
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: But where I feel good, it's like their head coach

570
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. And this is a coach and

571
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: quarterback league. So yeah, I don't feel that great just

572
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: because he's an unknown on Drake May. But I'm a

573
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: big believer in the head coach. And when you're a

574
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: big believer in the head coach. We learned this last

575
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: year with the Chargers. Everyone's like, all the team's not

576
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: good enough. They got rid of Mike Williams, they got

577
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: rid of Keenan Allen. Who's he gonna throw to? I

578
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: don't know. They got fucking Jim Harbaugh. And when you

579
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: have that guy, you'll figure it out. Like I don't

580
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: know if the Raiders team is good enough. Slash their

581
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: division is so good and honestly, their record, you know,

582
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: they only could win a couple more games, Like if

583
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: they go seven to ten this year wouldn't shock me,

584
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: but it would be like, oh, they'd be a respectable team.

585
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: You better buckle your chin strap every time you play

586
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: because whoever they're rolling out like, they're gonna know what

587
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're gonna know what's expected. Is their talent

588
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough? I don't know, but you better

589
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: get ready. And that's I think when you look at

590
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: this league, like you know, Ben Johnson, it's just I

591
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: know he's a good play caller, but he never had

592
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: to deal with this stuff because Dan Campbell handled it

593
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: all like Raheem Morris like obviously a good guy. Sean

594
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: McVay loves him, the media loves him. Does he know

595
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: what he's doing? Does he have any clue what he's

596
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: doing as a head coach, because we've seen great Vic

597
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: Fangil is an elite defensive coordinator, a head coach is

598
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: like completely over his head. So I'm just I'm fascinated

599
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: with that aspect of kind of that class. And as

600
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: we know, we always assume like all these guys are

601
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna hit. Historically, if if there are four quarterbacks drafted

602
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: in the first round, we know two of them are

603
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna suck, right, and if one of them becomes like

604
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: an all pro, that's a hit, and the other guys

605
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: multi year, multi contract guy, that's a win. Well, there

606
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: were six guys drafting the top fifteen, and you know,

607
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: if we assume Jayden Daniels and bow Knicks are going nowhere,

608
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: some of these other guys are going to be flops.

609
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: Some of these other guys are not gonna work. So

610
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: I I don't know better buckle up anyone. When if

611
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: you're married, depending on how long you know, like when

612
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: you first start dating your wife, that honeymoon face. Obviously

613
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: for some of you single guys there's been in different relationships.

614
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: There's nothing like that. That early time when you're dating someone,

615
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: Like if you go on to date them for a year,

616
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: two years or whatever, that first couple months is pretty special.

617
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: Right you're having sex with someone new, you just everything's happy.

618
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: That the expectations of just being around someone new, you

619
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: don't the judgment on different things are just you're just

620
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: so much more open minded to everything. And obviously the

621
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: sex helps, but it's just it's just a great time,

622
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: and that honeymoon phase is for most people the easiest

623
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: time in their relationship. And then eventually, if you date

624
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: someone long enough, you know you're gonna hit some rocky times.

625
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a big disagreement, you're gonna have a

626
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: bad fight, maybe you have a reaction. The more and

627
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: more you start hanging out with people's family and people

628
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: start wanting you to do things that you don't want

629
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: to do, and you kind of you go through a

630
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: period where it's like, Okay, is this really gonna happen?

631
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: Are we really in this for the long haul? Or

632
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: are we gonna go our separate ways right now? So

633
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: that honeymoon phase, whenever it does come to an end,

634
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: it comes to a screeching holt. It doesn't mean that

635
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: some of those good things don't continue ideally the rest

636
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: of your life if you stay with the person. But

637
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: life becomes real, right, it doesn't just become fantasy. And

638
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: I think sometimes in training camp. I'm watching McAfee yesterday

639
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: at Steelers camp, and you talk about the honeymoon phase.

640
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: You got Mike Tomlin smiling ear to ear talking about Rogers.

641
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: You look at Rogers, you know, for this quote unquote

642
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: guy that's polarizing. He looks at the place is chanting

643
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: for him. He's smiling, he's having a blast. You got TJ. Watt,

644
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: new contract, ear to ear smile, you got new dbs,

645
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: you got the GM's, Like, God, am I underestimating the Steelers?

646
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: And then I started thinking, you gotta be careful. Even

647
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: Rogers mentioned this. Everyone's zero and zero right now. No

648
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: one's lost a game. Everyone for the most part, as

649
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: long as you don't have any major injuries, is pretty

650
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: happy during this period of time, right everyone's in a

651
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: pretty good mood. I do feel when I watched the

652
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Steelers felt like they were in extra good good mood.

653
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: But they're gonna be defined. Like obviously they got some

654
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: big name guys, and they got talent on the team,

655
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: and they got a roster who unlike some of those

656
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: things we just talked about with the Bears, like they've won,

657
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: they know how to win. Now, do they know how

658
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: to win big enough games? Obviously they haven't been doing

659
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: that lately, but they've won a lot of games for

660
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: a reason. They're a well run operation. They're gonna be

661
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: tested after something weird happens, whether it's a major injury

662
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: in the season, whether it's a two game losing streak,

663
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: and their relationship, especially Mike and Aaron and Arthur Smith

664
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: and the cohesion of the group Jalen Ramsey, how that

665
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: comes together. And honestly, like the relationship, you can guess,

666
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: you can assume it's gonna go well, but you never

667
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: know till you're in it. And here's the other thing.

668
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes in a relationship, when you hit hard times, when

669
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: you hit a bad fight, sometimes you realize like, actually

670
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: don't really like this person that much. I don't really

671
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: want to figure out how to work through this. And

672
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: there are other times where you're like, I will do

673
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: anything possible to make sure this works out. I'll look

674
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: in the mirror, I'll be introspective, I'll fix these problems.

675
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: We saw the Jets because they had the same honeymoon

676
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 1: typeface with Aaron Rodgers and then they hit hard times

677
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: and everyone just kind of tapped out and it was

678
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: a disaster. Because no different than relationship. Teams are the

679
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: same way. Some people look at each other and they're like,

680
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: I will fight for you, right, I will fight for

681
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: the man next to me, I will fight for my coaches.

682
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: I will run through a wall for these guys, even

683
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: though we just went one in three in the month

684
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: of October and now we started four and zero. Now

685
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: we are, you know, five and three and lost three

686
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: of our last four games. We are trending in, but

687
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're gonna dig our way out of this.

688
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: And we see teams all the time go one way

689
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: or the other, and one thing that they are gonna

690
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: battle is in terms of chemistry as a group. These

691
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: guys haven't been together for that long. And one thing

692
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 1: I did see there and I do agree with, there

693
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: is a power in going away for training camp. There

694
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: is just a natural bonding of having to spend a

695
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: lot of time together, which you don't necessarily do. And

696
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: I understand why these teams, like when I was with

697
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles, Andy Reid loved going away. He went to Lei,

698
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: he went to Kansas City. They go away as well. Well.

699
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: The Steelers have been going to Latrobe. I think since

700
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: the sixties. Some of these teams still go away. The

701
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers do not, the Raiders do not. The

702
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: Eagles no longer do so. Obviously, it's much easier from

703
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: an infrastructure standpoint, with your meeting rooms and everything to do.

704
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: But the chemistry, unless you already have it built in,

705
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: could be difficult to build because it's seven o'clock when

706
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe a meeting ends, like hey, we've got tomorrow off,

707
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: everyone can just go home. You might just want to

708
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: go home and go to your bet. Well, if you're

709
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: at training camp together, it's like, well, let's do something.

710
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: We're all here together, what else are we gonna do that?

711
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: That is a big advantage for the Steelers, and I

712
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: do wonder, even the last couple of years, when their

713
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: talent hasn't been quite as high as some of these

714
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: other teams, if that does benefit them, just their short

715
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: microwaved chemistry session during the three weeks at Latrobe. It

716
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: cannot be a negative. I have a theory and most

717
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: of you probably saw the Scottie Scheffler video seven weeks

718
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 1: ago that went viral about how golf essentially does not

719
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: define his life and sometimes he asked himself like, what's

720
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: the point of this all? And I think I talked

721
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: about it last week, and you know, basically, if it

722
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: ever impacted his family life, he would just quit. And

723
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I think does a newsletter I might need

724
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: to subscribe to that was almost offended and essentially said, like,

725
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: why do your family and your profession need to be

726
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: mutually exclusive? Like aren't they intertwined in a cliffed out

727
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: version of what he said is essentially like part of

728
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: my work ethic and my desire and drive to be

729
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: great at football and try to win, was showing my

730
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: children as an example of what it's like to work hard.

731
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: And I do agree as someone who's not a parent yet.

732
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: But obviously you saw my dad growing up, and you

733
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: know my other close friend's parents who some of these

734
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: guys were really really successful. You know, as a parent,

735
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: I think your number one job, beside like early on

736
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: keeping them alive, breathing and eating, is as they age,

737
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, follow your lead, be a good example for

738
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: them on how to treat people, on what it's like

739
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: to work hard, on what it's like to you know,

740
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: deal with your mother or their mother in a proper

741
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: fashion and a manner. But I do somewhat agree with

742
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: Brady as they shouldn't be mutually exclusive. But I have

743
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: a theory and I looked this up in Tom Brady's

744
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: first ten years in the NFL, and obviously Tom came

745
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: in in two thousand So through the two thousands he

746
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: had made seventy five million dollars by he'd won an MVP,

747
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: he'd been to I think four Super Bowls, he'd won

748
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: three of them. He had been he was just an

749
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: absolute rock start. And don't get me wrong, seventy five

750
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: million in twenty ten, that's a ton of money. Like

751
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady was rich then, but the level of

752
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: money that these guys earn now, basketball, football, baseball, golf

753
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: is in a different stratosphere. For example, Scottish Scheffler, it's

754
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: basically the end of July, so the last nineteen months,

755
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: so the seven this year, the two last year, I

756
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: would guess, give or take, and honestly, in the next

757
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: month it could be one hundred and twenty million dollars.

758
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: He plays golf for a living and made one hundred

759
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars on the course. To put that

760
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: into context, Tiger Woods, over the course of his en

761
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: course career, made one hundred and twenty million dollars. So

762
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: my point is, and I've always said this, I admire

763
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: people like Tom, like Tiger, like all these individuals that

764
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: basically till their body gives out on him. Peyton was

765
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: the same way. The money. They are completely unphased by it,

766
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: and I do believe that Scottie is unphased by But

767
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: when you make that much money that fast, because Scotty

768
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: Scheffer really became a good PGA tour player like three

769
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: years ago, and then two years later, boom, he's made

770
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars on the course, not even factory.

771
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that would just change your life in the

772
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: way you view things a little bit. I don't. I

773
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, and I see it with

774
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: these I was listening to someone the other day discussing

775
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: the NBA. You know, before, especially when I was a kid,

776
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: these guys were making good money. Like if you were

777
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: a good NBA player, you made five, six, seven million dollars,

778
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: but you could basically double that by working with corporations,

779
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: being on commercials, Like most NBA stars when I was

780
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 1: a kid were prominent members of commercials, and obviously, from

781
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: a shoe standpoint, weren't just shoe salesmen. They literally went

782
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: to places and push shoes right because it was a

783
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: way for them to make a ton of money. Well,

784
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: now you get guys like let's use Devin Booker for example,

785
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: who I think is a good player. I don't know,

786
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: was just on a team that was god awful? Is

787
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: going to be making over seventy million dollars a year

788
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: playing basketball? What in what line of work outside of basketball?

789
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: Could someone pay him enough money to go? Yeah, I'm

790
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: not interested. I do shoe company too. Like he doesn't

791
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: need to do anything. So there is a level of

792
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: once you get to a certain position and a certain

793
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: level of wealth, which now these guys make more money

794
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 1: than like guys in the top ten twenty companies in America.

795
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, how many W two employees make fifty sixty

796
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: seventy eighty million dollars a year? Got news for you?

797
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 1: The list is small people that do not own the entity,

798
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: like what Roger Goodell? The money he makes is kind

799
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: of unique, right Obviously he's I guess, the leader kind of.

800
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: I mean the owners kind of are. But he works

801
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: for the owners that have this several I don't know

802
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: how we'd value the NFL but worth billions upon billions

803
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: upon billions of dollars on a yearly basis. But he

804
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: doesn't own anything, like he owns a team, doesn't own

805
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 1: the league, doesn't own the media, right, he owns nothing.

806
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: He's just an employee, and I think sometimes when you

807
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: get to that, it's like, shit, I don't need any

808
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: what's all this for. I don't. I have no worries

809
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 1: in the world. So I do understand where Scott's coming from.

810
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: I understand where Tom's coming from. And this is what

811
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 1: whenever I get asked about players when you're scouting a player,

812
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: and GMS reiterate this all the time. Every person's their

813
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: own just like me and my brother were very different.

814
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure anyone listening to this that has siblings, they're

815
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: very different. Anyone that has multiple kids, like their personalities

816
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: are much different. If you get too multiple dogs in

817
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: your house, usually one dog and the other dog, they

818
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: act way different. So part of life is everyone thinks

819
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: a little bit differently, and that helps, I would say,

820
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: make up an interesting or the ability for these guys

821
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: to be interest because they're not all the same. Okay,

822
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: let's end on this, foo Kayzy Friday. I try more

823
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: now than ever to just spend less time on the

824
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: Internet scrolling and getting angry, because I would say, a

825
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: decade ago, five years ago, you just spend so much

826
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: time getting worked up about like what is the point,

827
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: Why am I mad over some person's take on something

828
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: that I honestly I would never meet this person. If

829
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: I did meet this person, I would never spend a

830
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: second with this person. I hate this person's opinion that

831
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: ten before social media, you wouldn't even know that person existed.

832
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: And nowadays people just argue back and forth in the

833
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: comments and nothing is accomplished. Right, you go to YouTube,

834
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: you go to like the athletic an any article, people

835
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: just be arguing in the comments, like what is the

836
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: point of any of this? I do think the word

837
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: controversy used to like hold some weight, right, Like it's

838
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: controversial should we go to war? Should we raise taxes? Right?

839
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: Or something. Let's use a sports analogy like Barry Bonds

840
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: and those guys using steroids, Tom Brady should he get

841
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: suspended for deflating the balls? Belichick using cameras to steal

842
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: signals on the field against the Jets in two thousand

843
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: and seven. Now, there would be people, depending on what

844
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: side you were on, who you were associated with, you

845
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: would have an opinion on the controversy. But I think

846
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: we'd all agree, like there were things that were clearly controversies.

847
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: Now with social media, that an ad. You know what's

848
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: funny is I think sometimes these controversies in a weird

849
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: way are such like in a niche lane, yet they

850
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: become so mainstream because people that still hold these jobs,

851
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: like I'm the producer of good Morning America or I'm

852
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: the producer of some show or whatever. Where do I

853
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: get my information? Now? It's not the La Times. I'm

854
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: not surfing the San Francisco Chronicle. I'm on Instagram, Twitter.

855
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: That's where I'm getting my information. And in fairness, like

856
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: I get a lot of podcast topics from social media.

857
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm not against gathering information on social media, but I

858
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: think sometimes Sidney Sweeney, who ironically my wife, who's a

859
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: thirty three year old woman who you know, is on

860
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,359
Speaker 1: social media, sees things I brought it up, like, hey,

861
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,279
Speaker 1: that American Eagle ad Sydney sweem me. She's said, what

862
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: are you talking about? She had no clue what I

863
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: was talking about. And I think three or four days ago,

864
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: if you just went to this and brought this up,

865
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: like have you seen the controversy of the American Eagle

866
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: Sydney sweeneyad, people would have looked at you like you

867
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: had three heads one They wouldn't even have known what

868
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 1: the ad was. And two if you tried to explain

869
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: it to them, they probably just would have walked away,

870
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: like what the bleep are you talking about, you whack job.

871
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: I think nowadays that you could do anything and someone

872
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: and in this situation, some like fat smelly, ugly white

873
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: chick could just post how offended they were by a

874
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: commercial and in theory, no one should see that post,

875
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: and no one with common sense or a brain, if

876
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: they did see the post, would spend more than two

877
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: seconds on the post, let alone thinking there is like

878
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: validity behind the post. But nowadays, if something happens and

879
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 1: you post the extreme opposite view and you throw in,

880
00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, some buzzwords like racism, assists Sydney Sweeney, all

881
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden people repost you on the opposite side,

882
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: and then you create a controversy out of thin air.

883
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: Something that did not exist now exists, and then all

884
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: these producers of these shows that need to fill different

885
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: airtime start going, we got something here, and then a

886
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: controversy is created literally from nothing. And I am not

887
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: anti technology, social media, the iPhone, just in general, because

888
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: I think most of this stuff kind of starts and

889
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: ends there, right, doesn't end there, but really starts in

890
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: catapults from there. But I have made my career over

891
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: the last decade because of that thing. I owe a lot.

892
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 1: I owe the house I'm sitting in here right now

893
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: because of technology and because of that iPhone. I do

894
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: think it has led to situations like this, which you

895
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: try not to pay that much attention to, like this

896
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: is stupid, It's gonna go away, And then you feel

897
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: like three, four or five days later, not only is

898
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: this not going away, every single human is talking about this,

899
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: and it's like, how did we get here. It's like

900
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert he was fired right, and it became a

901
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: huge controversy. It's like, I can't believe did the government

902
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: force CBS to fire him? And then it comes out

903
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: he had been losing forty to fifty million dollars a year.

904
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: He had a staff of two hundred people. And this

905
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: is an industry that's like, well, hey, it's just a

906
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: weird year, right, They'll be fine, Like this year they'll

907
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: probably you know, turn a profit. It's like, no, they

908
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,720
Speaker 1: have lost over half their advertisers in the last eight years.

909
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: Their average viewer age is close to seventy. They are fucked.

910
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: If this was a stock, you would short to live

911
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: and shit out of that show if you could, and

912
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: if you could have, you would have just made a

913
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: ton of money. Yet it becomes controversial because people are like,

914
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, this happen. No, this is capitalism and

915
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: business and this show is a dog. I mean, this

916
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: show in any other line of work, in a podcast,

917
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: if I was in a similar situation, even if the

918
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: numbers were different. Right, we're not talking fifty million. Let's

919
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: say I'm losing a couple million dollars if you fired me,

920
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: that there is zero controversy there is. You are bad

921
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: for my business. That is what that is. And these

922
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: things now, because people can go on these rants, even

923
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: if you just have one hundred followers, Then someone with

924
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 1: a big following picks it up, who's anti what you're saying,

925
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: amplifies it, and then it just becomes in the ring

926
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: of people arguing back and forth, and nothing actually happens

927
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: beside the fact that anyone with the brain goes that

928
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: is fucking moronic. What are we talking about? And I

929
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: just think we've crossed the line where anyone can just

930
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: stand up be like, why are we talking about this,

931
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: like why is this happening? And it feels like it

932
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Now is something out of nowhere

933
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,879
Speaker 1: that no one or at least ninety nine point nine

934
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: percent of anyone you or I would meet or know,

935
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: would even think twice about. And then it just becomes something.

936
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 1: And then it not only becomes something, it just grows

937
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: and grows and grows. It's like you had fertilizer to it,

938
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: you add some gasoline to it, you like the match,

939
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like, this is the

940
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 1: biggest story now in America? How is this possible? And

941
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: I listen, this is I guess. So my fugazi is like,

942
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: I just don't know what happened to Like normal controversies,

943
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 1: they were just like we all could agree on, like

944
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: that's pretty crazy. That's pretty nuts, right, Like O. J.

945
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: Simpson getting off like did he killer? Like that was

946
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: like everyone had an open that was a legit story.

947
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: The Sydney sweeneyad is not a legit story yet in

948
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: a weird way, because of the process and the creation

949
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: of social media, it's become one. Like do you think

950
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: you could meet any human being if this story had

951
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: never happened right, and the ad just existed. Who Ever

952
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: would have mentioned it? Besides, like Ash, she's fucking hot, man,

953
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 1: she looks good in those genes. No, I don't believe so.

954
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: I believe that to my core, to my soul. But

955
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: that's not the world we live in anymore. The volume
