And uh and yeah, let's rock 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: and roll. Let's start with Aaron Rodgers and the uh 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: the building drama. As of recording this on Wednesday, just 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: got announced he's in the match with Michelson and Tom 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: Brady and Bryson D. Shambo. But those guys are all 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: tweeting about it. He's off in Hawaii. The viral videos 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: him with the dude in the movie Star Uh, Miles Teller. 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: I actually met him at the super Bowl a couple 25 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: of years ago. Nice guy. I think he's in the 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: Top Gun movie. They's supposed to come out soon. He's 27 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: been another movies. Good actor. Uh there with his fiancee 28 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: Teller's wife. You never know in the Hollywood circles. This 29 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: is the way rich people vacation. Sometimes different stuff happens. 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to pass any judgment. I don't know 31 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: what's going on. I have no issue with him skipping minicamp. 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Mini camps were not made for Aaron Rodgers, right. Mini 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: camps were not even Tom Brady's Like those guys, I 34 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: got no issue none. Now that doesn't mean they have 35 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: a they have a problem on their hands. Rogers is 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: not happy. He wants the general manager fired, he wants 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: Murphy fired, he wants the president and Jim gone. I 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: think that much is pretty well established now to me, 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: though it got real on Tuesday of O T A 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: S when Adam Schefter tweeted out that all five wide receivers, 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: Davante and the other four did not show up either. 42 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: Davante Adams, who I think is in the off season, 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: lives down the street from me in uh In Dublin 44 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: maybe or Danville, pleasant In plays a lot of golf 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: in the East Bay. He had a six hundred thousand 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: dollar workout bonus. So him showing up Davante like, I 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: don't care who you are, whether you make fourteen million 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: dollars a year or you make five dollars a year 49 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand dollars. Obviously, if you made five dollars 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: a year, six hundred thousand dollars to be a lot. 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: But I think some people be like, you know, he 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: makes fifteen six hundred dollars six h thous dollars a 53 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: lot of money, right six You can do a lot 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: of six hundred thousand dollars you invest in the right 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency turned that bad boy into about ten. So him 56 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: not showing up, he's like WHOA and the other four 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: guys to me, officially, the Green Bay Packers have a 58 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: disaster on their hands, and listen, I don't know. Brian 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: Gudikins never met the guy. I think he's done a 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: pretty solid job. I've said this over and over and 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: over again. He made an educated guess and he shorted 62 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: Roger's career like a stock. I don't even think it 63 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: was that crazy of an educated guess. Aaron their first 64 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: year there, when he was the GM and the floor 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: was the coach, looked a little off. He looked like 66 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: he was declining, even though they made the championship game 67 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: and he had a pretty good statistical year. Anyone that 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: washed Aaron Rodgers I know any Packer fan would agree. 69 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: It looked weird and they bet that it was gonna 70 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: trend the wrong way. And Aaron Rodgers turned into like 71 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: a game stop. I mean, he threw it right back 72 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: in their face and won the m v P. But 73 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: they made an educated decision. Actions have consequences, good and bad. Right, 74 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: If if Rogers had fallen off a cliff and Jordan's 75 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: love looked like a butting star, it would have been 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: You've been called a genius. We all make decisions and 77 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: everything we do depending on what job you have, some 78 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: decisions are different than others. Right, If you're just a 79 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: sales guy, how are you gonna pitt your client. If 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: you're the CEO, what businesses do you want to be in? 81 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: What do you what is your company gonna stand for? 82 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: If you're gonna ask someone to marry you, right, that's 83 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: a pretty big decision. If you make the wrong decision 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: and marry the wrong person, that has a lot of 85 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: consequences personal, financial, Like Gutikins made a decision. I supported 86 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 1: him when he drafted a quarterback, but a year later 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: it's a devastating decision. It is backfired. They have a 88 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: fucking serious problem now in the building. Because Jordan's love 89 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: to me, Rogers not showing up wouldn't become a real 90 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: issue until training camp. Right If he doesn't show up 91 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: a training camp, then it's like, okay, is he is? 92 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: He gonna miss games? Like it's it's an issue right now? 93 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Who cares? It is irrelevant, especially because your first round 94 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: quarterback from a year ago could get all the reps 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: last year with Corona, no off season, no preseason games. 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: It's like you can wrap it out throw with some 97 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: of these wide receivers. Then the wide receivers didn't show up. 98 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: They can say whatever they want yesterday in Packer Land, 99 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: Lombardi Way, whatever the street is the building was I 100 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: mean they got a problem. I mean the alarm is 101 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: going off. And listen. The Packers are the most unique 102 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: organization in sports. They do not have an owner. One 103 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: thing we know. Just put yourself. If you own the Packers, 104 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: what would the first thing you would do? Assuming you 105 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: like Gudakins and you like Mark Murphy, you would get 106 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: them all in a room. Do you know what rich people, 107 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: rich powerful people usually do. They don't like screwing up 108 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: the golden goose, so they will do whatever it takes 109 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: to figure out a solution. Guess what they don't have 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: right now in the building. Anyone that can act as 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: an intermediate intermediary to go, Hey, Aaron, I'm gonna fly 112 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: you out. I'm gonna fly Gudakins out. Can we meet 113 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: in l A. Can we meet in Arizona? Where do 114 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: you want to meet? We will meet you there. This 115 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: is big business. Here's the other thing Gudakins might be. 116 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: I saw um Matt Naggy, not Matt Naggie, Jim Naggi, 117 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: who runs the Senior ball tweeting that like Gudakins a 118 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: high character guy. People really like him. And listen, I 119 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: have no personal interaction with him. But here's what I 120 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: do know. There is no preparation. I was watching la 121 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: floor talk yesterday, like, you don't teach you as an 122 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: assistant coach how to handle these situations. You can see 123 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: it on his face, like we got a problem. What 124 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? You know that nothing I 125 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: can do. He hates my bosses, the guys I work with. 126 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't have the power to fire them. I don't 127 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: even want to fire him. But what am I? How 128 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: am I supposed to fix the situation? It's like no 129 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: one's ever taught me this when I was a quarterback 130 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: coach or an offensive coordinator. What they don't teach you 131 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: as a general manager is or excuse me, as a 132 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: scout coming up, like you spend a lot of time 133 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: in dark rooms evaluating players. The job as a GM 134 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: is to play kate with agents. You need the agents. 135 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: They have all the players and I Back in the day, 136 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: there was like this adversarial relationship between gms and agents. 137 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: The best gms now are close with agents. Belichick like 138 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: he he has very good working relationships with agents. Very 139 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: The Steelers like you have operate like that. They are 140 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: part of the lifeblood They don't teach you how to 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: do that. They don't teach you, as a scout in 142 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: a dark room, how to deal with these situations. There 143 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: is the only way that you can be prepared for 144 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: this is if in your personality you kind of have 145 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: some of that in you. I've given Mike Mayock and 146 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: John Gruden a hard time the last couple of years 147 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: because their struggle in the draft. I don't think they 148 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: work agents well enough. That's part working the agents, working 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the media leading up to the draft, is understanding the 150 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: value of players, right, that's just part of the job. 151 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: Mike Mayock, I would imagine, doesn't like dealing with agents. 152 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily blame him, but he's a general manager, 153 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: like that's part of his gig. And Brian Gudikins, like 154 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: you can say, well, why did he have to talk 155 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: to Aaron rod Well, yeah he didn't. And now it's 156 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: backfired because you're like the almighty I'm in charge. Well 157 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: not really, because they don't fire players who are as 158 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: great as Aaron Rodgers. Now, because the Packers don't have 159 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: an owner, there's no one to fire Brian Gutikins. But 160 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: here's what we know, and if you're listening. If you're 161 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: a Packer fan or just an NFL fan, If Gudakins 162 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: was fired, if the President Murphy was fired, not a 163 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: fucking soul would notice tomorrow. If Aaron Rodgers is traded, 164 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: every single person notices in your team to way worse off. 165 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: And now is your locker room split because the wide 166 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: receivers you can say whatever they want. You know, they're 167 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: not doing this in solidarity for solidarity for Aaron bullshit, 168 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: Like it's pretty clear what's going on here. So the 169 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: wide receivers aren't showing up, meaning Jordan's love the reps 170 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: he's getting. Who's he throwing do some guy that's gonna 171 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: be an insurance salesman, another guy that's gonna work for 172 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: ubs in the fall. Because we already argue that the 173 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: Packers wide receivers aren't that great, so the guys that 174 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: actually are in the fifty three man roster aren't even there. 175 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: So you have and it's not like you can use 176 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: those roster spots to sign five more wide receivers. They 177 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: don't have any roster spots. Those guys are still taking 178 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: up five of the ninety man spots. You need other 179 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: positions to run a practice, So you have probably instead 180 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: of having ten wide receivers at practice, you have five 181 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers of practice. Three of them will never sniff 182 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. Two might be practice squad guys. That's who 183 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: George loves gets to like have his reps, which are 184 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: very important for him. Back to what I'm saying, there 185 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: is no owner to fix this issue, to just set 186 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: up a meeting, you know, mob style? Can we get 187 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: a sit down? If you've ever watched the Mob movie, 188 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: sometimes in sit downs, no one dies. You figure out problems, 189 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: you figure out you know, the percentages, who gets what right? 190 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: That's that's a number one trait in or a scene 191 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: in a mob movie is a sit down, every single one. Well, 192 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: what do you think happens in businesses? And then you 193 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: sit downs all the time. Because we talked about this 194 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: earlier with the O t A s the compromise. You 195 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: need some compromise here. You need people to talk it out, 196 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: lay everything out on the table right now. And in 197 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: fairness of the Packers A Rogers, you're gonna go on. 198 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: Kenny Maine, I've never been a big believer, like, if 199 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna talk your ship, just talk your ship. Say 200 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: what you truly believe, if you're gunn up, if you 201 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: hate the gentlemanagers, put it on the table. He kind 202 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: of half asked it. And this gets back to what 203 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: I've said from the jump. Do you know what Aaron 204 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers does not want? And I don't necessarily blame him 205 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: because I think it's a natural human uh desire is 206 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: to be liked, right, we all want to be liked 207 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: in our neighborhood, in our profession, by our peers, by 208 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: our wife's family, whatever, we just it's a natural human 209 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: desire to be Like, Well, if you're a player, who 210 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: do you want to be liked by the most your 211 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: fan base? Who does Aaron Rodgers happen to play for 212 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: one of the biggest fan bases in the league, a 213 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: historic one. He doesn't want to burn bridges and go 214 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: out and look like an asshole. So he's trying to 215 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: orchestrate this move, whatever it is, whether it's to Denver 216 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders, who steals a little head scratching like his 217 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: team is really good, but it is what it is 218 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: is that's his truth. But he refuses to say really 219 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: what he thinks, So I think it's he's not going 220 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson where it's just pure like uh, you know, 221 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: cliche bs. He's actually speaking like a human being, but 222 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: he's kind of beating around the bush. Just say what 223 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: you say, Just say listen, I can't stand the general manager. 224 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: At least it would give some clarity like we get it. 225 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: But if you're not gonna say that, like I think 226 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: you're leaving all these fans kind of in limbo. And eventually, 227 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: the longer this drip drip drip goes, it's just gonna 228 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: get weird for him. It just is. And to me, 229 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: the only way he can really force their hand is 230 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: even if he doesn't show up for mandatory minicamp, who 231 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: cares to practice in the you know, early June. Is 232 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: he not gonna show up at training camp? Because if 233 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't, then the Packers I don't know what they 234 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: do me personally, like I'm sorry, Gudakins, You're gone because 235 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: like I said, they're in a soul. Not one fan, 236 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: not one season ticket holder, not one opposing coach would 237 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: notice Gudakin's not being there if Aaron Rodgers and center. 238 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: But every team in the league right now, especially every 239 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: team that has the Packers on their schedule is praying 240 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: to the heavens. Did they trade him and they get 241 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: Jordan's love. That's what every team in the league wants. 242 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: So if if Push comes to shop and am I 243 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: gonna trade Aaron Rodgers, I'm gonna fire Brian Gutikins. Hey, Brian, Uh, 244 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: it's been a real buddy, godspeed, good luck. You can 245 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: put us on your your list of recommendations. Have them 246 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: call us right, not Rogers, but you call us. I 247 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: don't even know who that us is, but that's where 248 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: it's going. Because these viral videos in Hawaii like Rogers 249 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: kind of weird cat. You know, he's different, He's a 250 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: little out there. This notion up to that I love. 251 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: It's like they just want what Tom Brady wants. And 252 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: when did Tom ever do this? Well? Tom did not 253 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: rate like this ever, he butted heads with Bill. We 254 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: always showed up. I guess he may be missed offseason 255 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: that one year, but he never asked, demanded a trade 256 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: or for an wanted to get fired. Maybe he demanded 257 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy to get traded once, but I don't necessarily blame 258 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: him on that one. There's a big difference. If if 259 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Aaron demanded Aaron Jordan loved to get fired, then the 260 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: GM to get fired. It's a little bizarre. Doesn't happen 261 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: that often, but just where you're at. If I was 262 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: a Packer fan, I'd be a little nervous with this 263 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: whole situation because their organizations old school. I don't I 264 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: don't predict or think that they're going to fire Gudigans. Murphy, 265 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: you know it's weird. He's like the boss, but like 266 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't own the team. Right, It's like, you don't 267 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: fucking own this team. It's not your name on those paychecks, buddy, 268 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: You're just as replaceable as the next guy, right, Aaron Rodgers, 269 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: deep down nose that of the power brokers, right, Murphy Gudikins, 270 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: even the head coach. Now granted he got the head 271 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: coaches back that he loves, the coaching staff and Aaron, 272 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: those three are infinitely more replaceable than Aaron Rodgers. And 273 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: he knows it, and he's not wrong. He's right because 274 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 1: anyone listening to this, if you had to choose, you 275 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: would take Rodgers over all three of those guys combined 276 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: without hesitation, and deep down those individuals know it's true. 277 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: So I the situation that once the wide receivers come, 278 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, don't show up. I don't really know what 279 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: the endgame is here, but I just know the Packers 280 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: have a massive, massive problem on their hands.

Okay, let's just Middlecoff mail bag. 285 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bang out a bunch of questions. We're pretty 286 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: deep at John Middlecoff is the Instagram handle and UM 287 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: and you guys know the drill. Let's start with GEO. 288 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: Gotta f F question for uh for the boomers out there, 289 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: that's fantasy football. Dynasty League started off season with Barkley 290 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: and Gore's running backs. During off season, I traded away Claypool, Gallup, 291 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, and Derek Carr from mixing Swift and Dobbins. 292 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: Am I a terrible GM? Yeah? I still have Jefferson, Digs, Ridley, 293 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: Robert Woods, and d Johnson's wide receivers. You're in good shape. 294 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think cars pretty consistent. Keenan, Allen, Claypool 295 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: could just keep booming. Risky move. I wouldn't have done it, 296 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: but you know, fantasy football whatever. Love the pod, huge 297 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: Rams fan and wanted to hear your honest opinion on 298 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: how far you see them going Matt Stafford's first year 299 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: with the team. Do you think they gave up too 300 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: much for a guy, in my opinion, has been a 301 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: good quarterback his entire career rather than great. It's definitely 302 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: an upgrade from golf though. Do you see Stafford possibly 303 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: guiding the Rams to that coveted Super Bowl title the 304 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: Rams are looking for? Well, Jared was starting quarterback on 305 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl team. Uh, that team was probably deeper 306 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: than this year's team. But this year team is really good. 307 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is a dramatic upgrade over Jared Goff. You know, 308 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: I think one of his biggest proponents has been Aaron 309 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: Rodgers over the years. Because when you play for Detroit, like, 310 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: we just don't watch many Lions games unless you're a 311 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: die hard Lions fan that they're playing at ten a m. 312 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Every week. Their team sucks. Uh, They're not a team 313 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: that plays on a lot of primetime games. We we 314 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: just don't see him that often. But my buddies in 315 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: the league, I mean, I have obviously no naggy with 316 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: the Bears, but I have a couple of scouting buddies 317 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: there too. They they love Matt Stafford. So Matt Stafford's 318 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: upside with Sean McVeigh, who is clearly a dynamic young 319 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: elite coach. Like Sean McVeigh is a dominant little coach. 320 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. They have won four straight years. 321 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: In the one year they didn't make the playoffs, they 322 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: went nine and seven. I love that. What do you 323 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: do when you're off here? Do you go three wins? 324 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: Like the one year the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs. 325 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: Since Andy's been in Kansas City, they went nine and seven, 326 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: Belichick's worst year in twenty years, seven and nine. Do 327 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: you win two or three games? Because elite coaches don't 328 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: have two or three games in the bag when ship 329 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: hits the fans Sean Payton for those years like seven, 330 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: eight and eight, when their defense was historically poor, that's 331 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: what elite coaches do. You get him a guy like 332 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. Their offense is gonna be really good. To me, 333 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: I questioned their defense, right, they lose Brandon Staleley to 334 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers. They're just very top heavy. They lose Johnson 335 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: the safety to the Browns. Uh, They've just lost you know, 336 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Littleton a couple of years ago. It's just kind of 337 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: a war of attrition. Now they got two elite players, 338 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Donald one of the greatest players ever, Ramsey, best corner 339 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: in the league. But if one of those guys like 340 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: has a major injury, you're in trouble. I think they 341 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: are probably I'd probably have them as the favorite to 342 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: win the NFC west Hi John loved the pot. Just 343 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: curious how you legally do your sports gambling living in California. 344 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: Do you use a VPN or is there an app 345 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: that allows that I'm unaware of. Well, I personally gamble 346 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: on my bookie. That's where I gamble, and you can gamble. 347 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: It's international, So I I do my gambling from California. 348 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: These arbitrary rules that uh, we live at a big time. 349 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: I have my cousin is building this Uh this like 350 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: commercial building in the Central Valley and Forever casinos in California, 351 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: you had to be on Indian reservations. They have the 352 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: market corner. They have a monopoly. The only people that 353 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: can legally gamble in California are the are the Indian reservations. 354 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: They don't get taxed either. It's a pretty good, pretty 355 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: good gig. But eventually it's gonna be up, and they're 356 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: they're building an Indian casino off the reservation, just like 357 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: right next to Fresno. And eventually, right now, the Indians 358 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: are paying California a lot of money. So we don't 359 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: pass gambling, uh to be legal, but it's coming, will 360 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: be the last state just because you know, the the 361 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: Indian casinos in California make a shipload of money, but 362 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: you know the ball is gonna roll and then they're 363 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: just they should embrace it. Like as someone told me, 364 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: like don't get the tribes don't create these casinos. Biggas 365 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: doess like MGM the win like those companies. The corporations 366 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: fund these ones out here. So I don't know why 367 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: I'm getting off on this tangent always pisces me off. 368 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: I just let's just make it legal, every stakes making 369 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: it legal. Why don't we embrace it. Arizona's got a 370 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 1: bunch of Indian casinos too. They made gambling legal, sports 371 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: gambling the cards. I mean, I like playing black jack 372 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: as much the next guy, but just make sports gambling 373 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: legal This shouldn't be that complicated. The problem is gonna 374 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: be once California does it, the tax rates are probably 375 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: gonna be out of control. So my bookie a roundabout 376 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: way of saying it's it's a topic I'm passionate about. 377 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I just want casinos in the state of California. Is 378 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: that that much to ask for? Really? Now? I also, yeah, 379 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: just long question here, sending in a question to mail back. 380 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about the direction of the NFL. I 381 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: worry the focus on offense and making quarterbacks the single 382 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: most important player will hurt the league in the long run. 383 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: I know quarterback has always held the most important position 384 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: on the field. However, the rule changed will lead the 385 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: end of parody and teams. I can easily see the 386 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: league following the NBA blueprint and being player focused instead 387 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: of team focused. What do you think Another problem I 388 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: see is the middle of the road quarterbacks look like superstars. 389 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: We can relate this to central bank business. I made 390 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: your nikon when the FED applies easy money policies, think 391 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: low interest rates, bonding, mortgage backed securities purchase can lead 392 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: to zombie companies. A zombie company is when a business 393 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: that should have failed in the free market survives because 394 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: they're held up by FED policies. This is a misallocation 395 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: of resources and hurts the economy. I believe the new 396 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: rules will have I'm just laughing because it's a pretty 397 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: good analogy. And example, Jared Goff in the Rams God 398 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: looks like a superstar quarterback. It's way over priced. This 399 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: hurts the team. They miscalculate the funds. I get what 400 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: you're saying. I actually was bored the other day and 401 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: I watched the Enron documentary on Amazon Prime. Fascinating really 402 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: just Kenneth low Or and it lay this other dude 403 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: name low Uh, Jeffrey Skillings. I mean some of these 404 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: names that I had forgot of watching that documentary, it 405 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: got like Enron was crazy. Of course, you know what 406 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: state got played by them? Us out West California, the 407 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: rolling blackouts lad to Arnold Schwarzenegger being the governor. Just 408 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: an incredible trip down memory lane. It's the thing that 409 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: like madeoff used to pull off, even Enron it and 410 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: Enron did it when the you know in THO one 411 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: this stuff to pull off made off Enron with technology, 412 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: now it'd be fucking impossible, absolutely impossible. It'd be like, well, 413 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: what do your books say? It's like, give me your 414 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: balance sheet. They would never be able to pull this 415 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: stuff off now. So as much as technology can drive 416 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: us all crazy, it's like Bernie Madeoff could not function 417 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: in today's climate because you would get exposed to be like, well, 418 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: let me see the stock, let me see the books, right, 419 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: It's like, well at it in my my my binder. 420 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Let me get my pen pencil out. No, it's just 421 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: give me your give me the pass code. Let me 422 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: see what you're doing. Right. The stuff you could pull 423 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: off back in the day was pretty incredible. You know, 424 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. I mean, the Patriots kicked 425 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: everyone's asked for twenty years. In the NFL dominated Peyton Manning, 426 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers been the best quarterbacks for twenty years. 427 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: The thing with football, if you have a great defense, 428 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: if you have other good players, you have great coaching. 429 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: Coaching matters. You know. In the NBA, let's face it, 430 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: coaching is not that important. If you give me Lebron, 431 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: you give me just start. Steph Curry, you give me, 432 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: I mean Steph Curry made Mark Jackson looked good. James 433 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: Hardens dominates with anybody in baseball, managers make like seven 434 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: grand Gabe Kapler, I didn't think makes a million dollars. 435 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: He's irrelevant, absolutely irrelevant. The days of managers in baseball 436 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: making five six million dollars is over dead. Football coaches matter. 437 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: Coaches can overcome cale. Shannon made the Super Bowl with 438 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo as his quarterback. Sean McVeigh made it with 439 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. Sean McVeigh won all those games with Jared Goff. 440 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: Think about that. So the one thing that coaches are 441 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: superstars too. Now, coaches salaries are gonna keep going up 442 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: with a great part of that doesn't impact the salary cap. 443 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. I wouldn't worry about that 444 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: because even an average guy like you can win with 445 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. The Rams one, right, the Rams were successful, 446 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings with Kirk Cousins, they've been very good on offense. Right, 447 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: So I'm probably gonna start my own sports podcast, but 448 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I have no idea where to start. Do you have 449 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: any suggestions? My recommendation would be a couple of things 450 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: I would uh. I mean, I used pretty basic stuff. 451 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: I used garage band, I use this zoom this recorder 452 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: that plugs into my computer that plugs into like a 453 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: mike that you would see on television. So it's a 454 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: good auxiliary mike, and I use an Apple computer. I 455 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: mean it's pretty straightforward. It's not very complicated, and I 456 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: just just just start it and see how it goes. Hey, John, 457 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: relatively new fan of the pod and love what you're doing. 458 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. I have a coward type 459 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: analogy I've been sitting on and wanted to run it 460 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: by you. A football legend makes ways coming to a 461 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: historically bad franchise in Florida, hoping to take the culture 462 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: he's built in years past and bring it to a 463 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: new team. Doing so is no small task, and to 464 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: help make the transition easier, he brings on a retired 465 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: football legend to help spread the culture gospel in the 466 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: locker room. The retired players passed his prime, but the 467 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: most of the need media acknowledges bringing him isn't what 468 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: he adds on the field, but rather the intangibles off 469 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: of it. Now, who do I just describe? Was Brady 470 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: bringing Gronk to the Bucks or is that Urban bringing 471 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: Tebow to the Jacks? Because the narrative fits both situations 472 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: and is only one year removed from each other. I 473 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: gotta pump the brakes on this analogy. Comparing Gronkowski to 474 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow is is insane. Rob Gronkowski is one of 475 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: the greatest players in the history of the league. He 476 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: is a champion several times over and was before he 477 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: ever showed up with Tampa Bay. He was an elite 478 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: let me repeat, elite player for the New England Patriots, 479 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: an absolute gamer an overall. I mean you could argue 480 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: pound for pound when he was healthy, he was the 481 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: most dominant tight end we've ever seen. So it's like 482 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 1: Tebow never really pissed a drop in the league. He 483 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: won the one year at quarterback for Denver. I don't 484 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: know how he did it, but his statue were terrible. 485 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: He's never played tight end in his life. Culture Rob 486 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: Gronkowski walks in with pelts on the wall, so when 487 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: he talks, people listen. Why would Trevor Lawrence listen to 488 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow? Was Tim Tebow? So I see what you're saying, 489 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: but I don't think that works because I don't think 490 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: Bruce arians accomplished way more Tom Brady. It just urban 491 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: my it's never coached in the NFL. You know, paying 492 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: guys to come to Florida in Ohio state is a 493 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: lot different than paying guys a premium in the pros. 494 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: So I good effort. I'll give you a day for effort. 495 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: Lifelong Eagles fan, And I'm wondering when you think the 496 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: rebuild entitled contention will start again. We're way over the 497 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: cap and losing Zach Ertz Well, Zach is still on 498 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: the team. Free Agents starts like Julio Jones want to 499 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 1: go to winning organizations. Not only can we not get 500 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: free agents and stars, but we have a first time 501 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: head coach and everyone is concerned about Yeah. I mean, 502 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: I you're a couple of years away. I mean you're 503 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: not You're not gonna be a championship contender with Jalen Hurts. 504 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how he might not like me saying that, 505 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: but I just I'm not a Jealan Hurts guy. Now, 506 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: I think how he has equipped. They got three first 507 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: rounders next year, right, trade Wentz, you got that first rounder. 508 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: You make the trade back with the Miami Dolphins, you 509 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: got that first rounder, and you got your own first round. 510 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: So if the Shaun Watson situation never plays itself out. 511 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Maybe they could sniff around Aaron Rodgers. They have options. 512 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: Having three first round picks is never a bad thing, 513 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: so if you do have a quarterback crisis, which potentially 514 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: they might have, you can pivot off it when you 515 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: have three first round picks. I discovered your show just 516 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: recently and enjoyed a lot. Greetings from Lithuania. Greetings, it 517 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: is uncharted territory for my Browns having a quarterback age, 518 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: head coach, and core group of players in the same 519 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: building for two seasons in a row. Is it possible 520 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: to tell how much this continuity may increase the chances 521 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: of O. B J and Baker finally getting on the 522 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: same page on the field. Well, I think, oh b 523 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: J needs to be healthy. He's coming off a torn knee, 524 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: so what's his health status? UM. I think the offense 525 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: is very conducive to a guy like Odell Beckham should 526 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: fit it. In this offense, you have tight ends, you 527 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: have a great running game. The way this offense works, 528 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: the zone scheme, the Shanahan just the kind of that 529 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: what Savanski runs. If you can run the ball wide, 530 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: receivers get wide open, and a guy like Odell Beckham, 531 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: like listen, Like Odell Beckham is a little more hype 532 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: now than a good player, Like his hype exceeds his production. 533 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: Who he actually is as a player, really good talent. 534 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: But let's he ain't Keenan Allen, He ain't Davonte Adams, 535 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: he ain't Julio Jones like eventually you gotta produce. But 536 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: his height because of the one handed catch in New York, 537 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: is really strong. I like Odell Beckham, but I think 538 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: we talked about him like he's a top five wide receiver. 539 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: He hasn't bet a top five wide receiver in like 540 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: five years. So I the great part is for you. 541 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter if Odell Beckham gives you like 542 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: sixty catches, it's all gravy because you already you were 543 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: good last year without him. I saw the Julio Jones thing. 544 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: I saw a Florio just wrote. I haven't read the 545 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: article that the NFL is mad. You think the NFL 546 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: cares about Shannon Sharpe calling about Julio Jones. Give me 547 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: a break. You don't think Julio Jones knew he was 548 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: being called now the Falcons, like the Falcons are mad. 549 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 1: The Falcons. You keep fucking leaking that you're gonna trade him. 550 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: I love it when teams get mad or just any 551 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: he men in life, like when they don't get to 552 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: control it anymore. Like, no, you're just obsessed with control. 553 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: You're obsessed with you get to dictate the terms. Well, 554 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: Julio took it into his own hand and Channon Sharp 555 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: and they played you guys, and he said, I'm out 556 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: of here. He took it into his hands. He was 557 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: tired of you guys constantly talking and leaking with with no. 558 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, obviously you're not gonna put your name on it, 559 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: but it's clearly coming from the team. How are you 560 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: gonna trade him? And Julio is like, I'm out. I 561 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: like it, but you'd be naive. We we would be 562 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: insane in two thousand twenty one to believe that Channon 563 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: Sharp cold cold Julio Jones. Is it possible? Sure? I 564 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: would be floored if you said, John, you have to 565 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: bet five thousand dollars did Julio know or did he 566 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: not know? Without hesitation, I'm putting five thousand dollars on 567 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: Julio knew for the mail bag, for your time with 568 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles, which player are you most proud of discovering scouting? 569 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: And on the flip side, are there any players that 570 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: pounded the table on and they regret passing on? You know. 571 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: The crazy thing is like I just did the college 572 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 1: scouting for one year, and I guess I was pounding 573 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: the table for them not to take Matt Barkley, and 574 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: they ended up taking Matt Barkley. Now I was kind 575 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: of proven wrong because he ended up having a decade 576 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 1: long career, but I would not. I mean, he actually 577 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: blew by me. The guy I'm most proud of is 578 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Andrewson Dajo. We ended up not signing him, but he 579 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: was a guy. I went to Lewis Riddick, who was 580 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: my immediate boss at the time, like you gotta look 581 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: at this guy. You gotta look at this guy. He 582 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: was playing in this random league and I was like 583 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: basically my first year. I mean technically I wasn't even 584 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: full time. You know, they pays no health benefits. I 585 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: mean I worked twenty hours a day. You work full 586 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: time hours more than that. But and I just remember 587 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: Andrewson Day, who guy could play one thing. You know, 588 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: I don't miss scouting at all, but I was pretty good. 589 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: I knew what I was doing. You know, I could 590 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: most guys I said, they can play, they can play. 591 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: And Andrewson dajo and then when he went on to 592 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: he he's still playing in the league. I know. Whenever 593 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: Andrewson Dale makes a play, I text Lewis Riddick. A 594 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: couple other guys were in the room too. They never forget, 595 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was on SUNDAYO. The reality 596 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: is of quote unquote discovering guys that that doesn't really 597 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: exist anymore. You know. I guess maybe a late round 598 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: pick you could kind of put your neck for, but 599 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, it's like recruiting the 600 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: diamonds in the rough don't exist anymore with the Internet. Uh. 601 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: My second question, since you're in the podcasting world, do 602 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: you know anyone looking for an audio engineer producer for 603 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: their pod. I'm looking for new clients. I don't, but 604 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: keep hustling. People often ask like, you know, uh, whenever 605 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: we get like a new advertiser or whatever, like, hey, 606 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: can I get that contact? Well, yeah, you know how 607 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: we got the cold call business, getting the trenches, pull 608 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: up your fucking bootstraps or making calls stir dmon. I'm 609 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: not saying that to you, but just what I would 610 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: do is I would go through podcasts on Apple iTunes 611 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 1: and I would look at every podcast with over like 612 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: five reviews, maybe even start at toft in the if 613 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: you're if sports whatever category, and find the guy's names, 614 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: find them on social media, and shoot him dams. So 615 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: if you want in on people's podcast because I bet 616 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: most people produce their own podcasts, writing on like the 617 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Cowards of the World and the you know, pardon my takes, 618 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: but just the average guy probably produces their own content. 619 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: Find podcast that clearly have a little bit of a 620 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: following that makes some money. Someone told me that podcasts 621 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: or excuse me, one percent of podcasts make of the revenue, 622 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: because I would imagine most people there's a million podcasts. 623 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: Well yeah, most podcasts don't make anything. What I tell 624 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: people all the time, like this ain't a passion project 625 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: for me. That's how that's how I feed my onboard children, 626 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: Like this is this is real life and I'm lucky, 627 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: you know, I'm able to make good cash doing podcasts. 628 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: But I would recommend looking that way, finding people that 629 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: generate money and try to get in with them. Now, 630 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: It takes time, you know, it just takes effort, but 631 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 1: it just you gotta be if you can sell right 632 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: and you're you're clearly in the business. Seems like of yourself. 633 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: I am too, get nothing. There's nothing easier in the 634 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: world to do than sell yourself. It has to be 635 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: the easiest thing in the world to do is to 636 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: sell yourself. I've been doing it now for a decade, 637 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: really longer than that. Most people kind of do right. 638 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: Sell yourself on a date, sell yourself on an interview, 639 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: sell yourself if you run a company, sell yourself if 640 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: you're a sales guy, like it starts with you. I'm 641 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: not being critical or anything. I I appreciate your ruscle 642 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: who have The current NFL players would make the best 643 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: future GM in the NFL. I think Tom Brady would 644 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: be pretty elite. Uh underrated. Part about Tom Brady, you 645 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: notice when he instagram's always instagrams about his teammates, always 646 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: instagrams about the offensive line. I think he's he gets it. 647 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, he knows where his bread is buttered. Uh. 648 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, Richard Sherman has talked about it. I actually 649 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: think remember Richard Sherman telling me about uh Emmanuel Moseley. 650 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: He's like, this guy can really play, and then he 651 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: ended up. Now he's a forty nine er starter. I 652 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: think he's got a pretty good feel. You know, he's 653 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: been around obviously the Niners for these last three years 654 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: in Seattle forever. I think if Richard wants to go 655 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: into it, he's gonna either be a GM or he's 656 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, a top color analyst on television. 657 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: But you know color analysts like obviously you can make 658 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: Tom Tony Romo money, but there is something pretty special 659 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: about like John Lynch. You know, it's way cooler to 660 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: be a GM, way more work, way more work. Probably 661 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: more money too. I mean, John Lynch gets paid a lot, 662 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: but it's a bigger deal being the general manager of 663 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: the Sanford Sco forty Niners than it is to be 664 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: the number two guy in Fox. Right, So if you 665 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: can be the GM of team whoever, I would do that? 666 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: So I would say, I would say Tom Brady, who 667 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: will never do it. I think Richard Herman might is 668 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: Tim Tebow signing Urban's way to distract media from a 669 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: heavily focusing on Trevor Lawrence in training camp. It will 670 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: ease the adjustment to NFL life thoughts not a terrible idea. 671 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's a business move. I think shot Khan, 672 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: I think urban Meyer loves them. I don't think we 673 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: need to overthink it. I think they're strictly doing it 674 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: for to sell jerseys, and you know, Tibo just wants 675 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: a shot. I really think it's that simple. Okay, that'll 676 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: do it. Have a great Memorial Day weekend, God speed, 677 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: enjoy your life, keep selling yourself, keep hustling. Have a 678 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: great weekend so you
