1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: The volume What is going on everybody, John Middlecoff three

2
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: and our podcast. Hopefully you are doing well wherever you

3
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: may be. Joined some heat, join some sun, probably hot.

4
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost June. The days may go by

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: kind of slow, but the months, the year's time, it

6
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: feels like it's flying. So let's just let's try to enjoy,

7
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: enjoy life. And like Miles Garrett, who got an enormous

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: amount of money, I was told, we need you to

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: be a leader, He's like, guys, trade me. Took the

10
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: money and now he's in Japan hanging out with his girlfriend.

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: So we will discuss that. Caleb got to give a

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: young man some credit. I thought he did a really

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: good job the other day discussing his situation Daniel Anthony

14
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Richardson versus Daniel Jones. I feel like that decision has

15
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: already been made. I really do. And I think Anthony

16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Richardson's time in Indianapolis TikTok. We had a boat incident

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: with some drugs pink powder from Stefan Diggs and Cardi B. Well,

18
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Cardi B wasn't in the part with the drugs. Well,

19
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: she came in later with some dancing. But boats and

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: NFL players. Man, it made me think of some other

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: boat situations that I wanted to touch on. And then

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: of course we'll do a little mail bag as well

23
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: at John Middlecoff. At John Middlecoff is the Instagram fire

24
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: in those dms. So if you listen on Collins feed,

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribed to three and Out podcast and

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: obviously everything up on YouTube. Go check that out. We

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: have a YouTube channel which is rocking and rolling and

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: other than that, Let's talk a little football. But before

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: we do, you know, I gotta tell you about my friends,

30
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: my Pardners Partners and the official ticketing app of this podcast,

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Game time Listen. Do you want to go to an event?

32
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Do you want to go to a game? Do you

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: want to go to a concert?

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: That?

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: There is not a better ticketing app in America, not

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: even close, Because what do you want to search? You

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: want to search your team? You want to go to

38
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Yankee game? You want to go to Dodger game. You

39
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: want to go to a football game this fall? You

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: want to watch role Tide Alabama? Do you want to

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: go watch Texas play Ohio State? A lot of people

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: are angry about the timing of that game, But you

43
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: want to go to a concert. This is when the

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: concert season really gets going. And if you want to

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: do that, get out of the house, go enjoy yourself.

46
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: Do it with my friends. So take the guesswork out

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: of buying tickets with game time down on the game

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Time app, create an account and use the code John

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars off for first purchase terms of play Again,

Speaker 1: create an account jwait Chen twenty dollars off down on

51
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: the Game Time app Today last minute ticket's lowest prices guaranteed.

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people have used this phrase,

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: but we've all heard it over the years. When someone

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: tells you who they are, listen definitely in scouting, right,

55
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: It's kind of an old adage. A young man will

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: tell you through his actions, his maturity, how much he

57
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: cares when you're scouting him. So don't be surprised when

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: you knew everything and then you get him to the

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: NFL team and he's already proven who he was.

60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: Now.

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Some people change, some people mature. But Miles Garrett didn't

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: run away from his feelings about the Cleveland Browns this offseason.

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: He went to the Super Bowl on a mission. I

64
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: want a trade, get me out of here in the

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns because of their owner and his desire to

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: get to Shun Watson, put themselves into predicament worst contract

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: of all time. The guy now has multiple Achilles tares

68
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: over the last six months. Is a disaster, is an

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: anchor on the franchise. But they were given it out.

70
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: They have a thirty plus year old all time great

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: talent who wanted to leave, and they could have traded

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: him for Ahule. And then it turns out they could

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: fleece the Jags and get multiple first round picks based

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: on a trade back from two to five. So if

75
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: they had played it right, which I would imagine the

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: coach in the GM would have been willing to do,

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: they could be here flush with picks. But you know

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: what they did instead, the owner, like with Deshaun Watson,

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: because listen, money could make a lot of people shut up. Now, listen,

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: money changes a lot of our lives, right, especially for

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: more most people. It just cures our basic necessities. Pays

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: for room and board, pays for food, pays for transportation,

83
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: like it's pretty important to most of us. And then

84
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: you get really rich, a guy like Miles Garrett who's

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: made one hundred and twenty three million dollars at the

86
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: end of last season at thirty years old. It's an

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: astronomical amount of money, and given that he's still in

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: the prime of his career, whether it was the Browns

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: or someone else, he would have another one hundred and

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars one percent coming his way. And that

91
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: doesn't even count anything he does off the field. This

92
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: guy has a ton of cash. Money is not going

93
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: to change how you feel at all when you're that rich.

94
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 1: So when Jimmy Haslm's like, I'm not trading you, which

95
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: is his prerogative, but it made no sense, and I

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: remember thinking, like, why don't you just trade him right now?

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: He's giving you the out, because if you just imprompt

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: you traded him and he didn't want to leave, there

99
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: would be pushback because most fans would go this guy

100
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: is one of the more talented guys in the history

101
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: of this team and franchise and in the league. You

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: could argue he's the most talented or definitely top two

103
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: or three most talented guy in the prime of his

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: career in the league currently. But he said he wanted

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: out and they refused to do it, and Jimmy Haslam

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: gave him one hundred and twenty five million dollars to

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: shut him up. Miles Garrett told him, I don't want

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: to be there. So when I see the story that

109
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: he's in Japan with his girlfriend at the Anime Awards,

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: and there was a story after they paid him that

111
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: internally they wanted him to step up, he'd been showing

112
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: up late. They think he could be a much better leader.

113
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to play for your franchise, and just

114
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: because you gave him a lot of money is not

115
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: going to change that feeling internally for the guy, Caleb Williams.

116
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: The story that broke what would last? I don't know.

117
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: Fifteen days from Wickersham's book about Caleb and his dad's

118
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: feelings toward the Chicago Bears is not new. The story

119
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: kind of is. But those thoughts were from as we

120
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: Sit here, May twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, fifteen months ago.

121
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: That's from January, February March in twenty twenty four, were

122
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: basically in June twenty twenty five. I don't blame him

123
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: for having those thoughts, even if I don't agree with

124
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: all of them or think that some of them are

125
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: kind of laughable. You're allowed to think whatever you want

126
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: to think, and when you factor in family situations and

127
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: his dad, who by all accounts as a successful businessman,

128
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: had some strong beliefs. No one, including Bears fans, push

129
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: back against his thoughts that like this is a place

130
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: where quarterbacks go to die. Are we sure eber Flus

131
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: is good enough, they asked. We all knew that answer.

132
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: No he's not. He's objectively one of the worst coaches

133
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. It was like a more buttoned up

134
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Jim Tomsula. But Caleb Williams could have easily taken the

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: mic and listen. He didn't talk last week, his prerogative.

136
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Don't really blame him, young guy. A lot of emotions.

137
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Give me a week. Let me just take a deep breath.

138
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: And you know what he did. He handled it like

139
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: a ten year vet, because you know how I would

140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: have handled it. Like, listen, guys, I'm not going to

141
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: talk about things written in a book from fifteen months ago.

142
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited Ben's here. We have a loaded team. I

143
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: can't wait for this fall. I'm fired up to be

144
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: a Bear. That's the end of the story. Instead, he

145
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: went on like a three and a half minute kind

146
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of diatribe, acknowledging that none of that stuff was fake,

147
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: that that was real, not that any of us didn't

148
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: believe it, but he embraced it, and I thought, you

149
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: know what, it would have been easy one for him

150
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: just to avoid it. Ask Rory McElroy, where have you been, buddy?

151
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Nowhere to be seen? Won't acknowledge the press over something

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: kind of quote unquote controversial in golf. It's about a driver.

153
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,559
Speaker 1: So when you talk about a twenty one to twenty

154
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: two year old guy that has some you know, pretty

155
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: big headlines about some negativity about the franchise that he

156
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: plays for, coming from himself and his father, you know

157
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: is going to be a big deal. And he could

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: have just tried to avoid it. Instead, not only did

159
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: he take it head on, he acknowledged it was all true,

160
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: and not only does he not regret it like he's excited.

161
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: And if I was a Bears fan, there wasn't much

162
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: to be excited for in twenty twenty four. I think

163
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: we all acknowledge it was an embarrassment of a season

164
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: led by Eberflus, who was fired the day after Thanksgiving.

165
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Anytime you're fired after the day after Thanksgiving tells you

166
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: how bad things are going. But part of what makes

167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks or not how fast they are or how

168
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: great their arm is, it's how they handle shit. It's

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: their character, it's their focus, it's the intangible stuff. The

170
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: best two quarterbacks of my adult life, not even close.

171
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know who would be. The third guy

172
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: would be probably Rogers would be Manning and Brady Why

173
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: because of what they could handle off the field. And

174
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: that's a huge part of this crew of guys right now. Mahomes,

175
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Caleb clearly has

176
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: a lot of the physical attributes, but what separates guys

177
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: is the intangibles. And I was really impressed watching Caleb talk.

178
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago when the forty

179
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: nine ers signed Sam Darnold. I went, I think Trey

180
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Lance's career here in San Francisco is done. And you

181
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: couldn't say that because there was internet contingent of booger

182
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: eaders that thought Trey Lance was the next Lamar Jackson.

183
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: It turns out he's a borderline average third string quarterback,

184
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: but he was traded before Week one going into his

185
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: third year. But in that offseason they had told you,

186
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: we don't even think he's a backup. Now they didn't

187
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: say that, they talked we believe, we think there's still

188
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: something there. But one thing as you get older you

189
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: learn is words are kind of worthless. Judge people by

190
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: their actions, especially professional sports teams, because they will give

191
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: you the run around and the propaganda machine. These guys

192
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: are good at it. Coaches, players, general managers, most of

193
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: them now are pretty well versed in the ability of bullshit.

194
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: But I saw that Shane Steiken said that we are

195
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: gonna split the reps evenly throughout OTAs, give or take

196
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy snaps each for Daniel Jones and

197
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, and my first reaction went, I think Anthony

198
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Richardson's career in Indy has a very good chance of

199
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: ending because if I was a betting man sitting here

200
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: May twenty nine, twenty twenty five, I would bet on

201
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones beating him out. And I'm not pro Daniel Jones,

202
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: don't think he's good either, But I've seen this song

203
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: and dance before, and I would imagine after last year

204
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: everything they experienced with Anthony Richardson and that moment when

205
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: he quit on the team in the middle of a

206
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: game and clearly his teammates turned on him. I went,

207
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I think this is probably over. And then they gave

208
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, who I thought was like a three or

209
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: four million dollar player, fourteen million dollars to come compete,

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: aka start for them. So I would guess as we

211
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: sit here right now, that Daniel Jones won't only he

212
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: will win this starting job for the Colts come Week one,

213
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: that they won't keep Anthony Richson is the backup quarterback

214
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: because as we saw last year his value as a

215
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. It's this guy's a project. And I have

216
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: no problem with what Chris ballor did. He took a

217
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: swing for the fences. But I say this all the

218
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: time because I am pro you know, going for broke

219
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: high in the draft with guys like this, but sometimes

220
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: when you do that, you strike gold, you become a

221
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: multi millionaire. You get Patrick Mahomes, you know, you get

222
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, you get whoever a great player really high

223
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: in the draft, and those guys, you know, Jamar Chase

224
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a project, but Mahomes was. It was risky and

225
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: sometimes when you go for broke, you do go broke.

226
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: And that's what it feels like the Anthony Richson situation

227
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: is headed toward. There was a boat incident with Stefan Diggs, Cardi,

228
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: b and some I think, as the kids say it, thoughts, tots, influencers, strippers, hookers,

229
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of chicks on a boat

230
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: that included some drugs. Now, I'm not the moral police here.

231
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't care what you do for fun personally, not

232
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: a huge upper guy. I'm not a drug guy in general.

233
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like going to bed much more

234
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: of like a day hangout party guy, maybe some cocktails

235
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: by a pool, lake golf course than I am trying

236
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: to stay up all night. So can't totally relate to that,

237
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: but understand it lived long enough in this world to

238
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: know some people like that stuff. So I had also

239
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: not naive enough to think that there are people in

240
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, maybe guys that own the team, that don't

241
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: dabble in some booger sugar. I did not know what

242
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: a pink powder was when step On Digs handed it.

243
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of different people on the internet

244
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: kind of break it down to the little mixture of

245
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: a party cocktail for your nostrils. Now, I think sometimes

246
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: when you get on a boat as an NFL player,

247
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: things have not gone well historically, And on a serious note,

248
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot about you know how difficult it is,

249
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: and I've used Ben Johnson as an example because he

250
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: was an elite coordinator. I mean, he's the best coordinator

251
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: in the league the last couple of years. But when

252
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: something like this happened, if it did happen with the Lions,

253
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: it was on the general manager and Dan Campbell to

254
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: handle it. It's not his problem. When Jamison Williams had

255
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: an issue with a gun and pulled over with a brother,

256
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: that's Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes problem. It's not Ben

257
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Johnson's problem. So when this happens for Mike Vrabel, it's

258
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: like he's been head coach in the NFL for a

259
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: long time. There is no chance that he hasn't had

260
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: drug issues with players before. He knows how to handle it.

261
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: Whether he handles it correctly or not, time will tell.

262
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: You could argue why you even signed him in the

263
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: first place, but he has experience with this exact situation.

264
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: So I think when you look at this boat situation

265
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: for the Patriots, it's kind of funny, but also, like

266
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you get a player like this who's

267
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: dating Cardi B. If I told you right now that

268
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Cardi B was just dating some other entertainer, actor, rapper

269
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: or whatever and was on a boat with a ton

270
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: of other stripper looking chicks and a dude and they

271
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: were just partying all day, would you imagine drugs would

272
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: be involved. I think the answer would be yes. So really,

273
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: just because it's Digs and not someone that fits some

274
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: other line of work, it's pretty jarring to see if

275
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: you are Mike Rable and the Patriots brass and if

276
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: your digs in his age and it's like, bro, let's

277
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: keep our head on a swivel here for the cameras.

278
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: But we have some recent memory or some recent events,

279
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: obviously the Odell Beckham situation, because if you're on a

280
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: boat doing stupid shit in the middle of May or

281
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: late many who really cares one he has a torney

282
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: acl he couldn't even practice if he wanted to. He's

283
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: not even gonna be ready. Week one, Odell Beckham and

284
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: crew went to a boat I had forgotten the exact date.

285
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: It's like, did they have a bye week? I'm like, no,

286
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: that was Tony Romo when he went with Jason Witten

287
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: to cam Kun, which honestly isn't even that crazy. He's

288
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: definitely not the first and won't be the last player

289
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: to go hang out for a couple days as the

290
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: number one seed during the bye Weird. Look, I guess

291
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: if you're the starting quarterback who's never had much success

292
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you're dating someone really famous, as he

293
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: was Jessica Simpson, but Odo Beckham because the season used

294
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: to end right around New Year's because it wasn't seventeen games,

295
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: it was only sixteen, so either the thirty first, the first,

296
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: the thirtieth, right around there. So the New York Giants

297
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: flew down to Miami on Monday of a playoff week,

298
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: and they proceeded I'm pretty sure to get blown out,

299
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: like forty to ten. They got destroyed and he got

300
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: destroyed as well. But you can even argue, is that

301
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: that crazy? It's like these guys all five private I

302
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: don't know how long the private jet is from New

303
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: York to Miami, a couple hours, two three, three and

304
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: a half, two whatever, but that not that wild. One

305
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: event that gets lost in translation that has never talked

306
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: about anymore is the love Boat. And sometimes I just

307
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: miss pre social media events because I feel like they

308
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: were actually way crazier than anything that could happen now

309
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: because of a camera. Like if I was to defend

310
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs, you would have to be pretty naive to

311
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: think he's the only guy in the NFL in the

312
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: off season that is dabbling in some drugs, you know,

313
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: anti drugs here. But I'm also not dumb enough to

314
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: think that some people are having a good time with

315
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: some things they probably shouldn't be and that aren't the

316
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: healthiest thing for them and can result in problems. But

317
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: helt young people, especially with money, tends to be a

318
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: rich guy drug. That's what cocaine is. And the love

319
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: boat with the Minnesota Vikings in two thousand and five

320
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: is something we just do not talk about enough because

321
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: the franchise it was right post Randy Moss, Dante Culpepper

322
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: was very famous quarterback Fred Smoot pretty sure it was

323
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: one of the better corners in the league. Bryant McKinney

324
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: was a star left tackle, and they had just a

325
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: solid team and they chartered a boat with other people,

326
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: so it was a bunch of players, a bunch of hoes,

327
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and just some random people. And I had to google

328
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: the event because they got in big trouble and I

329
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: was like, what exactly happened on the love boat? And

330
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: then I read this article that said eye witnessed reports

331
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: starting offensive Lineman Bryant McKinney is charged with giving and

332
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: receiving He's a giver oral sex from an unidentified woman.

333
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: Fred Smoot, who is believed to have chartered the boat

334
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: with another player, was charged with using a sex toy

335
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: on not one, but two unclothed women. The witnesses say

336
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: all the acts happened in view of the other passengers.

337
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: These cats were just having a massive orgy pre I

338
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: mean two thousand and five. I'm not even sure that

339
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: we had cameras on cell phones. This thing was like

340
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: a vivid shoot in the Hollywood Hills, just out in

341
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: the lake in Minnesota. All these guys got in big trouble.

342
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: This also was during the season. So while the Stefan

343
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: Digs situation funny, I do think to go party on

344
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: a boat playoff game, then get your ass kicked and

345
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: have an orgy mid season on a boat actually is

346
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: a little bit crazier, So just wanted to put a

347
00:19:50,359 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: little context into boat gate. The NBA Finals are almost

348
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: here and every play could be the one that changes everything.

Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, a couple things. Fugazi Friday,

385
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. Don't have a great fugazi,

386
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: but this incident happened last night. You know when you're

387
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: when you're a guy and you get married, and for

388
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: those of you with kids, it's like when you're growing

389
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: up and your dad's like the protector. Like, if something

390
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: happens in the home, you know, have that shotgun ready.

391
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: We are protecting this home. Someone breaks in, hit him

392
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: with a fucking Louisville slugger to the dome. You're protecting

393
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: your family. You just kind of hopefully that never happens,

394
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: but if it does, you just gotta be ready. So

395
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: whether you're like Chuck Lydell or McGregor, or you're just

396
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: some random little dude, it's like you just gotta do

397
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: what you gotta do for protection. But then there are

398
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: just other things that come along where you're like, listen,

399
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm not Steve Irwin. What do I do? Just Like

400
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, a bird got into our

401
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: house and this bird is freaking out. It's hitting windows,

402
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: it's cracking, Maria's freaking out, the dog's doing three sixties.

403
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: It's like, I have no clue. You're trying to help

404
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: the bird with a broom. You're afraid the bird's gonna

405
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: come after you. I just don't know what to do

406
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: in these situations. There is no handbook on how to

407
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: handle this. And then last night it's probably like I

408
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: don't know. Eleven thirty, twelve o'clock, I'm out like a light.

409
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: I have already popped a couple of melowtonins deep sleep.

410
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I heard a scream from the

411
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: from the bathroom, and I was like, is there a

412
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: mountain lion in our house? What just happened? And so

413
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: I come, She's like, there's a scorpion. We live in Arizona, right,

414
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: I got bobcats, I got pigs, I got coyotes. You

415
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: just ideally no mountain lions, but they're not far away.

416
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: You got animals and creatures. I've never seen a scorpion

417
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: since I've lived in Arizona. So I go, I'm expecting

418
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: to see a big ass one. I mean, just like,

419
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, like a Trantola level scorpion. Get there. Things small,

420
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: it's like an inch and a half, but it's moving.

421
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: It's like saquon in the open field. I'm like, can

422
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 1: you you know, like a mosquito or a bug? You

423
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: just squash like I don't feel comfortable squashing with my hand.

424
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: What if it stings me? And the little ones? Again,

425
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly dialed in with all my venomous creatures,

426
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: but I know, like little ones, can they control their

427
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: venom it actually could be worse. I'm like, I don't

428
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: want to get stung by this thing. But it's moving

429
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: and shaking, so you like run to the other room.

430
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: You get like the swifter so you can use the

431
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: end to cry to poke it, yet it's moving. She's

432
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: freaking out. And then you finally kill a scorpion. But

433
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: you realize these things that come along in life that

434
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: you're just taught, like the guy can handle it, and

435
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: you're like, what am I supposed How am I supposed

436
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: to get this fucking three birds that have flown into

437
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: my home out of this place? Like do you call someone?

438
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: It's one thing like you get rattlesnakes. My neighbor got

439
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: a rattlesnake in the backyard. You can like call the

440
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, kind of the hoa people. They'll send

441
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: someone right over and take it out, like pretty basic protocol.

442
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: And then there are things like you're just on a

443
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: bike ride and all of a sudden you take a

444
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: turn and a bobcast right in front of you. You're like,

445
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: is this thing gonna bite my leg? Is it actually

446
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: scared of me? I don't know, and you just kind

447
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: of like got to figure it out on your own.

448
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: Uh.

449
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: But before we get out of here, I do want

Speaker 1: have different guys. Miles Garrett's in Japan, you got Digs

462
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: out on a boat with you know, a little who

463
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: knows what you got Some of the veteran guys stand.

464
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: But the majority of players for every team are together.

465
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: There is a very laid back time of year. You're

466
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: doing a lot of mental exercises in the classroom, in

467
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: the meeting room, walk throughs, and depending on how long

468
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: and how hot it is, you're probably on the field

469
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: truly practicing for like an hour and a half, maybe

470
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: an hour and forty five minutes, and on some days

471
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: it might be closer in an hour. The key to

472
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: this time of year is bonding and getting to know

473
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: each other. You have every single year in the NFL,

474
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: on average, it's like twenty eight to thirty five percent turnover,

475
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: so you have a lot of new players. Clearly, you

476
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: have rookies, you have undrafted free agents, you have free

477
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: agent signings. You have guys that maybe were not around

478
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: last year because of major injuries sustained in the off

479
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: season or in training camp. So you're trying to integrate

480
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: all these people a lot of programs if they're out

481
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: of entirely. New staff have new coaches. It's on the

482
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: coaching staff, specifically the head coach and the GM to

483
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: just figure out ways to bond and get to know

484
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: each other. Cause in a couple of weeks you'll break

485
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: for summer. You'll be gone for forty days then all

486
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you'll just report to training camp and

487
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: about fifteen hours a day you will grind on football,

488
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: and the better you get to know people. It's why

489
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: you know historically this time of year, if you know

490
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: you live in a place and you have an NHL

491
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: team that's making and run in the playoff, buy a

492
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: suite and as many guys that want to go go

493
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: hang out, drink beers. Position coaches have guys to their house,

494
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: have a barbecue and just get to know each other,

495
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: hang out with each other, because I do think it's

496
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: a tried and true formula. When you know respect and

497
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: honestly like the other person you're working with, you are

498
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: willing to work harder. And that's no different in football

499
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: or any of the businesses we're in. And I think

500
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: it's harder now than ever, especially with all these rookies

501
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: and young guys in the NFL that have been bouncing

502
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: around college programs all over the place, so their relationships

503
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: with others are different historically than the older guys in

504
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: the league. That most guys that have been the league

505
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: five plus years when they went to Texas, when they

506
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: went to Alabama, when they went to Washington, when they

507
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: went to Florida State. Whether it went well or not,

508
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: early on, they stayed because that's what happened in the

509
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: history of college football. Now, see ya, you're not paying

510
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: me enough, I'm out. And that creates a different type atmosphere.

511
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: And I think in the NFL, the atmosphere of like, ideally,

512
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on this team for a while. Now

513
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to pay you for it, but and

514
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: extend your contract one day. But we want you here

515
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: for a while, and we need to get to know you,

516
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: and we need to spend time together. And this is

517
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: a great time when not much is going on, where

518
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: you can have people over to your house, set up

519
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: a barbecue, set up events where everyone gets to hang out,

520
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: maybe some booze involved, and just get to know each other.

521
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: And I think that's incumbent on all the good teams

522
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: to do stuff like that. That's it for this week's

Speaker 1: Let's do a little thing we like to call the mailbag.

539
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: We did a big, big mail bag yesterday, still got

540
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 1: a million questions, so I appreciate everyone that interacts with this.

541
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: We will start with Harris just my Instagram. You guys

542
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: know the drill. Let's say you're a GM. Would you

543
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: rather be in a position where the talent on the

544
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: team is great and the quarterback is not up to

545
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: the standards of winning a championship like Dallas, Pittsburgh or Miami.

546
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Would you rather be in a position where the quarterback

547
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: is great but the talent itself is some par For example,

548
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: like the Chargers. Some could say the Bears. I think

549
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: you could throw the Bengals in there as well. I

550
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: would say you would. It's like the NBA version. Would

551
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: you rather just have the star and then figure it

552
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: out or would you have rather have like a really

553
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: deep team but no star. I think you always choose

554
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: the star. Would I rather have Burrow or Herbert? Yeah?

555
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: Over the Cowboys. I wouldn't compare the Cowboys to the Steelers.

556
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they won twelve games three straight years and

557
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Dak just kind of shit the bed. I mean, they

558
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: did win one playoff game of the three, but like

559
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: he's Deck, he's still a top twelve ish quarterback. And

560
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: Steelers don't have anybody I mean that doesn't exist. They

561
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: do not have it. We think Aaron Rodgers. I just

562
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: assume that. But the Dolphins to me are the worst

563
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: spot because clearly their guy is like more than functional.

564
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: You can just win with him, but he gets injured

565
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: and he's not good enough to beat anyone actually good.

566
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: So I would definitely choose the Chargers. Definitely choose the Bengals.

567
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Chargers. They get Jim Harbaugh.

568
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: Last year, they win eleven. This year it feels like

569
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna win double digit b back in the playoffs.

570
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: So I think you would always choose the quarterback first

571
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: because you could have a really good team and just

572
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: like struggle to find a quarterback. Do you think the

573
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: BS holding on Bradbury in Super Bowl fifty seven is

574
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: the difference being the Chiefs dynasty instead of the Eagles.

575
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: As a diehard Birds fan, that still bothers me. Well,

576
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: they've won, they won three of five and now you've won.

577
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: So they would only have two and you would have two.

578
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: It would have been a pretty big moment. I mean,

579
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: Howie would have had three Super Bowls, Sirianni would have

580
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: had two. Jalen Hurts would have had two. Been a

581
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: pretty big sliding doors moment in the NFL. I typically

582
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: hate tiki tac calls in general. I do believe that

583
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: past interference is the one that, like, I mean, most

584
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: of these plays. I mean obviously the famous one in

585
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: the Saints Rams game where the dude got taken out,

586
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: but I yeah, I don't know. I'd have to re

587
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: see the play. I mean, you'd know better than me.

588
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: That feels like ten years ago, something you said sparked

589
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: a question. With the media rights evolving and the shift

590
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: towards streaming, supposed Amazon offers the Big Ten half a

591
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: billion for broadcasting rights and outbids a traditional partner like Fox.

592
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: What is to stop Fox from going directly to a

593
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: powerhouse program like Michigan or Ohio State and saying if

594
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: you go independent, will pay you eighty million each. Instead

595
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: of schools forming super conferences, could we see more teams

596
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: following a model like Notre Dame. Well, Notre Dame clearly,

597
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean part of their pushback why they wouldn't join

598
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten is they're making so much money off

599
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: NBC and they're a great partner because they're games rate

600
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: on NBC, whether they're playing Navy Army or NIU or

601
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: whether they're playing A and M or SC like they

602
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: do big, big numbers for NBC. I think one of

603
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: the worst mistakes I saw, You know, Fox gets excellent

604
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Big Ten game mainly because they just if Michigan's good

605
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: or Ohio State's good, they just show all their games

606
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: and then when Penn State plays Michigan, when Penn State

607
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: plays Ohio State, so they just they just ride those

608
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: two brands where I saw the the CBS that the

609
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: game at You know, for me, it was always twelve

610
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: thirty kickoff. But if you live on the eastern seaboard,

611
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: three point thirty that Alabama LSU, Florida, Georgia the SEC game. Well,

612
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: ESPN stole the SEC from them. And now some of

613
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: the games is like Purdue USC. I think it was

614
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: like Ohio State, San Jose State. I mean some of

615
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: the games is like this is what you guys are showing.

616
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: I saw someone tweet like, this is why Gary Danielson's quitting.

617
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: I do think the thing with college football is you

618
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: bring up a good point. Michigan Ohio State are really

619
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: like NFL teams. If Michigan is good, Ohio State has

620
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: been continuously good. They do huge, huge television numbers, I

621
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: mean massive. A Michigan Penn State game will do a

622
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: bigger number than any of the in fair. Oklahoma City

623
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: is a tiny market, but I saw that the Oklahoma

624
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 1: City Minnesota series was not highly rated, which makes sense.

625
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: I mean if it was Lakers Mavericks or Lakers Warriors,

626
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean to triple the number. But Ohio State is

627
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: just a really really valuable property. I do think they're

628
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: locked in for a while, and Fox is a pretty

629
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 1: good partner for the Big Ten. It's been very lucrative.

630
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean for everybody involved. The Big Ten's making a

631
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: ton of money. Fox is doing huge ratings. But I

632
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: would say, big picture, everything's on the table. I don't

633
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: pretend to be like some genius when it comes to

634
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: never say never. If Fox got asked out in your

635
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: hypothetical world, I think you would be naive to think

636
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't if they were desperate to try to

637
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: do something like that and go after Ohio State. I

638
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: even think the number would be bigger. I would imagine

639
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: if you asked, like the Murdoch family and the people

640
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: running the business of Fox, Ohio State is probably worth

641
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars like that, they would have no

642
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: problem just doing a direct deal giving them two hundred

643
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Maybe that number is crazy, definitely

644
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: well over one hundred. You said eighty. I think it

645
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: dwarfs that number minimum double it. I love the pod,

646
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: Give me a wig. The question comes from a Seahawks

647
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: fan living in enemy territory. I live in northern California,

648
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: Heart of forty nine or Nation I'm curious to know

649
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: your overall opinion on the Seahawks moving on from Pete

650
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: and hiring a younger Mike McDonald and by not choosing

651
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: to follow the rest of the league by hiring a

652
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: young offensive guru and instead sticking to their roots hiring

653
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: a defensive guru. I have mixed feelings myself, intend to

654
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: lean heavier on an offensive coach, but again as a

655
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan, after seeing arguably one of the best, if

656
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: not the best defense in the NFL during our Super

657
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: Bowl run, what they did did did to quote unquote

658
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: the best offense in the game. Thing he's talking to

659
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Denver and just knowing in the division we have Sean McVay,

660
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: is the right move? You are like, you're if you're

661
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: drafting one overall and you need a quarterback and there

662
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: are no quarterbacks in the draft, what are you supposed

663
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: to do? Right? The Titans, would they have rather had

664
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams or Jaden Daniels than cam Ward? Sure, but

665
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: cam Ward was in the draft that they were in

666
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: and those two guys were not. Would they rather have

667
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck? My point is is that

668
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: you if you fire your coach. The candidates are the candidates, right,

669
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Like would John Schneider rather higher Kyle Shanahan or Sean

670
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: McVay than Mike McDonald. Of course he would because there's

671
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: way less risk. It's like, why already know those guys

672
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: can be head coaches and they coach offense, which is

673
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: the most important thing to do. But those guys are available,

674
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell, Lafloor, all these guys had jobs, and Ben

675
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: Johnson last year wouldn't leave. So Mike McDonald, if he

676
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: had been an offensive coordinator what he did in Baltimore,

677
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: he would have been discussed like Ben Johnson was this year,

678
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: and he was. But it's just a little different because

679
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: of the defensive guy. So I think listen anytime that

680
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: you can get he was called boy genius in Baltimore.

681
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy is really really impressed. Whenever I

682
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: watched Mike McDonald talk, he actually conducts himself in front

683
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: of a microphone closer to an offensive personality. He's not

684
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: like screaming f bombs. He's at your typical defensive coach.

685
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: So I like the higher I think he's pretty high

686
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: level guy. I thought he did a good job last year.

687
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing is, you know, eventually, if

688
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: they draft a quarterback and I'm sure they're gonna try

689
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: over the next couple of years, or if Sam Darnold

690
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: they invest a decent amount of money in him. You know, Mike,

691
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: like Pete, can coach personality, can coach like offensive philosophy

692
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: and big picture stuff, but like on a daily basis,

693
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to footwork, when it comes to decision making,

694
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to the execution of the offense, he's

695
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: not really gonna have anything to do with that. And

696
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: that's the overall pushback of Like at the end of

697
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: the day, when you give brock Purty a lot of

698
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: money or Matt Stafford a lot of money, or Jordan

699
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Love a lot of money, your head coach is with

700
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: that guy every single day, So sink or swim, he's

701
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: right next to him in the pool. Or Mike, like

702
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: his baby really is Witherspoon and the defense, in the

703
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 1: pass rush and the coverage and the tackling, that's what

704
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: he does well, that's his expertise. So in a perfect world,

705
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: if I get them both Ben Johnson and Mike McDonald,

706
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: I think most people, including yourself, would just take Ben Johnson,

707
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: but they didn't really have that option. And I think

708
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: when you look at the coaches that were hired last year,

709
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: I think Mike was a no brainer higher for them,

710
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 1: and a really really good one. Love the show writing

711
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: In a non football question. I have lived in the

712
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: Upper Midwest my entire life. When I tell people I'm

713
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: from Minnesota, they always ask what's the weather, especially if

714
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: they are from the south or western part of the country.

715
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: I assume they think it's freezing most of the time,

716
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: but it's really not. Meanwhile, I just looked at the

717
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: temperature in Scottsdale, Arizona, and it's already ninety seven degrees

718
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: at one o'clock in the afternoon in late May. That

719
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: sounds awful to me, especially since it's going to be

720
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: even hotter in July and August that, my friend, it

721
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: will be in the winter. Where I live, I can

722
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: always put on an extra layer or two and be

723
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: fine to go outside. But you can only take off

724
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: so many clothes when it's one hundred and ten degrees.

725
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: How are you not stuck inside during those unbearable summer months?

726
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: And why is the weather in Arizona considered to be

727
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: better than the weather in Minnesota. I think if you

728
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: just pulled, most people, whether you're from Minnesota, whether you're

729
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: from New Mexico, Florida, Philly, whatever, most human beings do

730
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: not like the cold. And having lived here, you know,

731
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: I lived in Philly for a couple of years, which

732
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: was by far the coldest place I'd ever lived for

733
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: a long period of time. But living in Arizona, we

734
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of Midwest transplants, so I get to

735
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: meet and through golf, I meet a ton of Bears fans.

736
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: I've met a ton of Vikings fans, chiefs, fans like that.

737
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: That's stretch of the country. They come here, and I

738
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: would say to a man, and when you say put

739
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: on an extra layer one hundred and ten degrees hot,

740
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: no one would argue that. And honestly, we had stretches

741
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: last year when it was one hundred and fifteen degrees.

742
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: Where I grew up in Sacramento, California. I grew up

743
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: in Davis, but it's separated by causeway. It got one

744
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 1: hundred and five to one hundred and eight degrees. I

745
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: lived in Fresno, it was one hundred and ten degrees.

746
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: Like it gets really hot in places in California. Even

747
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: when I lived in Walnut Creek, which is a suburb

748
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: of the Bay Area, it definitely got high nineties. Maybe

749
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and one oh one like it. That's hot's hot?

750
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Cold sucks. I would take the hot now. One p

751
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 1: fifteen is pretty unbearable, and like you said, you spend

752
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: a lot of time inside. Guess what they have air conditioning?

753
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: I do think when it's zero degrees or again, I've

754
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: never lived in the Midwest really. I stayed in Kansas

755
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: City for a little bit, but I left in early December.

756
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Chicago, where you are in Minnesota, the

757
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: Dakota's place that are freezing Michigan. I would think if

758
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: we just polled most people, cold sucks, you can do.

759
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: I can play golf in one twelve. You ain't doing

760
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: dick in minus ten degrees. It's say to drive when

761
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: it's hot. Is it safe to drive in a sleet storm?

762
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: So I could just speak for myself. I hate the cold,

763
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: and maybe you hate the heat. And some people just

764
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: are more comfortable in their environment. And I'm very comfortable,

765
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: as comfortable as you can be. Like you said, one

766
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen degrees, maybe don't go outside right, And

767
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: you know it's why the smaller percentage of people around

768
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,359
Speaker 1: here that are rich, they just leave. It's like, where

769
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: are you going leaving for the summer. It's like you

770
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: have forty eight years old? Did you have a job?

771
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 1: But you hear that a lot depending on what career

772
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: youre running with. And then some of us, you're just

773
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: stuck here and you can try to play golf, maybe

774
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: go to the gym. I don't know. You just do

775
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: normal stuff. But school's never been canceled because it's one

776
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve degrees. When I talk to people that

777
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: are from your area, like they cancel stuff when it's

778
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 1: too cold too. I don't know, step outside your house

779
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: because it's never too hot to actually step outside. You're

780
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: just gonna be warm. And here's the other thing I

781
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: would say about where I live. And I've never lived

782
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: in the South, but I know we have people that

783
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: listen to the show from wherever. Florida, Texas, obviously, Mississippi, Alabama,

784
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: South Carolina. It's not humid here now. When it's really hot,

785
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: it feels thick, but it's not. There is no humidity,

786
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: like even when I was in New Orleans for the

787
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You're in early February. You could feel it

788
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: outside like the air was thick. It's not like that here.

789
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: So I'm not defending. If you don't like heat, you

790
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: don't like heat. I hate cold. I despise the cold.

791
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I get cold anything under sixty degrees. So

792
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: I just think that you get you also, you get

793
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: used to your surroundings. You know. I've grown up the

794
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: majority of my life in warmer weather, clients with climates.

795
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: That's why I always like speak to these quarterbacks. It's

796
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: much easier. Shit. I'll never forget when I got hired

797
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: with the Eagle, I owned one suit. I owned one suit.

798
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: My dad had bought it for me, I think when

799
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: I graduated college, and I never even needed it when

800
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: I went to get a job at Frozene State. But

801
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: I remember coming back and he took me this place

802
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: at Sacramento. I'd never been to a tailor really, and

803
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: you got me just like an Italian suit. You know. Again,

804
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: it was probably I don't know, five hundred bucks, which

805
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,399
Speaker 1: again was extremely nice and it was cool. I owned

806
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: this suit, but I don't think I ever wore it

807
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: until I got hired in Philadelphia, and I remember maybe

808
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: bought it for me. When I got the Eagles job.

809
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: I forget, but I remember. You wear a suit on game.

810
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: It's cool, you're like official, you're in the front office.

811
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm working for the Eagles. You wear a suit. Problem is,

812
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, in training camp or a preseason game, it's

813
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbearably hot, so you're just soaked. Now,

814
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: I guess you could you didn't have to wear suit.

815
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: You just wear a button up shirt. But as the

816
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,959
Speaker 1: season goes on, you put on a suit. I remember

817
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: showing up to our first first cold game. I just

818
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: wore the suit and everyone else had like that extra

819
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: long ass thick coat. I'm like what, I was outside

820
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: for maybe five minutes and I couldn't feel my body.

821
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: And this is just walking from the car to the

822
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: field and standing there for five minutes. And I had

823
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: to go over to the heater and stood by the heater,

824
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: which you gotta be careful you get you stay there

825
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: too long, it'll like it'll burn a hole in your

826
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: in your pants. But it's just we're all wired differently.

827
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: Some of us like what we like, right, I think

828
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: it's no different, Like we all got different taste buds.

829
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: We all got different, you know, sexual preferences, we all like.

830
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: Our climate's a little different though most people in my

831
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: life I think prefer warmer overcolder. Quick question, do you

832
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: see Kyle getting the two thousands? Andy Reid treatment always

833
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: a bridesmaid on crazy talented team until he moves onto

834
00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: a really solidified to really solidify his craft, Andy to

835
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Maybe Kyle to the question. I hate to

836
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: admit that being Aniner fan, but it is what it is.

837
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 1: I think both guys are pretty similar that you know,

838
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo had some moments and party's been good, but

839
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: you would never say those guys are as good as

840
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: the top quarterbacks. Now, Andy a Donovan who was a

841
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: pretty consistent pro bowler and a really talented player. But

842
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: no one ever thought Donovan was like as good as

843
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: Peyton or Brady or I'm trying to think who would

844
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: have been playing in it early to that, like farv

845
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't on the level like you would

846
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 1: take those other quarterbacks over him. And then he got

847
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: Alex and Michael Vick, who had you know, these guys

848
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: were talented guys, and obviously Michael was really good the

849
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,760
Speaker 1: one year. But Patrick Mahomes like one of the greatest

850
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time, and they just go to the

851
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl every single year. Right, But before that, like,

852
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: he went to the Super Bowl once and he lost

853
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: to Tom Brady, which really isn't that weird, right, Kyle

854
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: has gone to the Super Bowl twice with Purdy and

855
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: with Jimmy and he lost to Patrick Mahomes. When you

856
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: say that out loud, it's not even that weird. Like

857
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: Andy Reid in two thousand and whatever four or five

858
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: lost to Belichick and Brady, not really that bad of

859
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: a loss. Kyle Shanna has gone in Super Bowl and

860
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: lost to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Howie Sirianni and

861
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts lost to him too. It happens. So I think,

862
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: if Purdy is going to be above average and a

863
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: good player, but never like a superstar, your margin ferrer

864
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: is really small. The Chiefs margin ferrer is a little higher,

865
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: no different than even like the Ravens and the Bills

866
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: just to be in the playoffs every year. Their margin

867
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: ferrer's higher because their quarterbacks are superstars. And to me

868
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: a lot if Purdy can become a consistent pro bowler.

869
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: Then they're going to be really good and it's just

870
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: going to come down to an individual game playing at

871
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: a high level. But if he's up and down, it

872
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: could be all over the place and could get weird.

873
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: Last fall, I created an Instagram account for myself and

874
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: to interact with the Mailbag anyway. Tried interacting several times,

875
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: but only got on the scene status once. Basically wanted

876
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: to make sure you don't think it's spam account. Since

877
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: they're no posts and I only follow one person, maybe

878
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: I just suck at the timing. In fairness to anyone

879
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: that's tried this and hasn't been answered that this is

880
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: not a buttoned up process in the sense of like

881
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: Instagram can be all over the place. Stuff gets deleted,

882
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: stuff gets misplaced. It's not like an Excel spreadsheet where

883
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 1: everything is like evenly organized, and it's very very straightforward.

884
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: It's I like doing this because I think it's an

885
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: organic way. You guys follow me on Instagram. It's just

886
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: an easy way to interact. But it'd probably be easier

887
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: if we had an email account to mess with everything.

888
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to change at this point in time. Anyway,

889
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: I do have a Fugazi Friday for you. Amazon streaming services,

890
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: we pay them a monthly fee, but yet every good

891
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: movie in their catalog costs three ninety nine to rent.

892
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: If I have to pay to rent the movie or

893
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: a show I want to watch, what on earth is

894
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: the monthly fee for? Clearly Amazon has the movie or

895
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: show in their catalog, but now I have to pay

896
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: extra to see it. I think it's a total scam.

897
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Obviously Amazon isn't going anywhere, and I'm gonna stop using it,

898
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna stop using it, but it still

899
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: annoys me. I can't speak to the business model. Uh.

900
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: I do wonder if a movie that they charge you, like,

901
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: let's say I want to watch good Fellas, let's just say,

902
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: or Dumb and Dumber, or just some hit movie from

903
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: my childhood. And sometimes when I look and all the

904
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: streaming services, if it's not on Netflix or any of

905
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: the free services, it'll be on place like Amazon, and

906
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: they'll charge me. And I do wonder in that situation

907
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: they have to pay whoever has the rights to them.

908
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily un nermal. It could be wrong. I

909
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: don't work in this industry. I'm not quite sure all

910
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: the logistics of it. But I would guess there's some

911
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: element of that because no one complains. Let's just say

912
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: Mission Impossible or whatever the hit movie is is out.

913
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: We know in a couple months that is gonna be

914
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: available on Amazon Prime to rent. I don't know about you,

915
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: but like when I rent a movie, I typically do

916
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: it through Amazon Prime, not like in your scenario, but

917
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: just in the scenario that I want to watch Mission

918
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: Impossible in a month. I've done that with probably twenty

919
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: movies in the last year. Rented a movie, but I

920
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: don't feel as bad because it's like the equivalent of

921
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: going to the DVD store or the movie store back

922
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: in the day, because I know it's relatively new. I do.

923
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: I've always wondered when they're charging me for a movie

924
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: it's like twenty twenty five, thirty forty years old. Is

925
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: there some sort of like they have to pay someone

926
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: and they don't want to eat those costs Because you

927
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: would say, typically Amazon historically has been good at like

928
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: eating a bunch of costs for us. But I don't know.

929
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't view it as much as a fugazi because

930
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: I think there's some business element of the deal. I

931
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: don't think they're just pocketing that three ninety nine. I

932
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,479
Speaker 1: think there's a cost on them. Would be my would

933
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 1: be my educated guess of just a consumer. I did

934
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 1: probably in the last month. I don't want to say

935
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 1: talk shit. I just I thought Tom Hardy I didn't

936
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: quite get it. I have watched Mobland. I do think

937
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I've kind of enjoyed the show, and

938
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. I mean, he's he's an enjoyable character.

939
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like I don't know, in previous movies or

940
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: shows something about him, but I've I've really really liked him.

941
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: I actually think he is he makes the move the

942
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: show because Pierce Brosnan. I don't want to say he's

943
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: over the hill, but he's kind of got some like

944
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: it feels like a guy that's been a five time

945
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: All Star, that's forty years old, that's playing for a

946
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, some awful team. It's like, God, this is

947
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: sad to see. That's how his vibes are kind of

948
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: given me. There are a lot of other good characters

949
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: in the show does have its cheesy moments and unrealistic moments,

950
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: which sometimes if I go into an action movie or

951
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: a show I'm cool with. I can live with. Like

952
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: I've said all the time, I don't really do like

953
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: dungeons and dragons. That's why I didn't do what was

954
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: the hit show with the dragons. It wasn't really for me,

955
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: not because Game of Thrones, not because I watched it,

956
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 1: because I knew it was big culturally and I wanted

957
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: to kind of I got a little fomo. But those

958
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: type things don't do much for me. Now. I think

959
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: this stuff is more realistic, even though I know that

960
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: it's probably not quite happening like this. But you give

961
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: me Tom Hardy, who stole a show. He's really good,

962
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: so I take it back. All star performance by my

963
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: man and Pierce Brosnan, you know once. You know, for

964
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 1: us guys that grew up on Nintendo sixty four and

965
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: the James Bond video game GoldenEye, which I would say

966
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 1: non sports would be it'd have to be on the

967
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: top ten list of video games of all time. I'd

968
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: have to do some serious thinking on that one. But

969
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,600
Speaker 1: I think non like Arcade game, but like a it's

970
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: definitely one of the best. It might be the best

971
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: Nintendo sixty four that or like Mario Kart and Pierce

972
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 1: Brosnan was Jebbelo seven, James Bond. He was good in it.

973
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: This version of them, I don't know. So some guys

974
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: age well as actors and some guys don't as well,

975
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 1: and it may be part of it. He's trying to

976
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: cheazen it up. But I thought, it's like, I don't know,

977
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: not really buying it.

978
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: The volume
