Chef Darian Brian, 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: who cooks it up for several Bills players, joins us 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: and we ask our one burning question. Let's tee it 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: up at a Steve Taster who has spent all over 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: the fields kind of unique. He was kind of a 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: not even in the stratosphere of normalcy. Thank you for 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: choosing us here at one Bills like Chris Brown, Steve 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Taster with you as always and Steve and I couldn't 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: help but to take notice of some of the dumb 15 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: assery I believe was how Yahoo Sports phrased it on 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: the parts of fans, chiefly in the NBA, Steve and 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: just to run it down so everybody's up to speed. 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: A fan spit on Atlanta Hawks guard Trey Young, another 19 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: through popcorn on Russell Westbrook, and a third through a 20 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: water bottle in the direction of Kyrie Irving as he 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: exited the floor. Utah Jazz fans verbally abused John Morant's 22 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: family in the stands and in the NHL. Ethan Bar 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: of the Edmonton Oilers got racist remarks sent to him 24 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: on social media after his mistake in Game seven eliminated 25 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: them from the playoffs, Steve, what the hell has happened? 26 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't know's It seems as though it's almost like 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: people cutting loose two getting too loose after being cooped 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: up for too long with COVID. It's like they decided 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: that the old rules didn't matter anymore. And I think, 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: you know, you forget because so much of what we 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: do in our lives these days in America, and this 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: is kind of want to get philosophical, bros, just me, 33 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: so we so much of what we do is on screen, 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: kids on game on game station PlayStations and you know, 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: video games. Us for work, we're on our computers, on 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: our social media accounts, at home in our leisure time. 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: I think we forget sometimes that the people we see 38 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: on our screens and the people we see on television, 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: and that they're they're human beings, and that we are too, 40 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and that we we kind of dehumanize all of this stuff, 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: and we feel like it's you know, if you can 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: do something, say something to your TV screen or your 43 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: computer screen, you should be able to say it out here. 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: It's just not the case. I don't whether it's people 45 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: just maybe COVID hangover. We've got to come up with 46 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: a phrase that means cutting it too loose after being 47 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: cooped up with COVID. Yeah, And I don't want to. 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: I don't want to just give them a pass for that, 49 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: because it's some of this stuff is inexcusable. But I 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: think we forget sometimes and that you know, the most 51 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: important thing about these games that we see and the 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: things that we partake of in live sports and hockey 53 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: and football and basketball is played by human beings, and 54 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: people tend to treat them like they're not. Yeah, and 55 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: I would say, and believe me, I don't want to 56 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: sound like, get off my long, guy, but I think 57 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: there is one thing that has been lost here in general. 58 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: I think it even goes beyond the bad apples, and 59 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: I just think it's called common courtesy. I think that's 60 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: kind of something that's been lost in our society. Just 61 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: treating somebody with the same you know, the golden rule thing, 62 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, it's just it's common courtesy. 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: And I do agree. I think that it's very easy 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: for fans to forget that the supremely talented athletes that 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: entertain us they're human just like us. You know, you 66 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: hear coaches talk about it all the time when they 67 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: feel like a player of theirs has been wronged in 68 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: some way, whether it be publicly on social media or otherwise. 69 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: They put their pants on one leg at a time, 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: just like everybody else. And I know that sometimes the 71 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: coverage and the hype that surrounds some of these athletes 72 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: automatically puts them on a pedestal before anybody even has 73 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: a chance to decide what they are and what they aren't. 74 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: But at the same time, there is fan responsibility too, 75 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: and I know fans feel if they buy a ticket, 76 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: they have a right to do whatever the heck they want, 77 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: and that's wrong. They don't. Yes, you can boo, you 78 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: can heckle if you want, but at least have some 79 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: semblance of common courtesy when when you're out, I mean 80 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: you're in an arena, you are in a public setting. 81 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like Kevin Durant said, I wonder how 82 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: your mom would feel if she knew you were the 83 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: guy spitting on Trey Young, Like, yeah, that is mom 84 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: is mom? Like, what's mom doing if she sees you 85 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: doing that? Just bring it back to that, like your 86 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: mom didn't raise you that way. I'd like to think 87 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: in most cases a bad situation, people tend to And 88 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: we're in the toy department of life here, even in 89 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: one Bill's life. We're talking about a game that people play, 90 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: and it's a kid's game and played by men for keeps, 91 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: and it's important to them. It should be the most 92 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: important to the people who actually are partaking in it, 93 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: the guys, like the players you look at. If you're 94 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: taking it more important than that, you need to take 95 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: a step back. And I tend to agree with you 96 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: as far as the pandemic is concerned. And even Yeah 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Who Sports, which did a great rite up on this 98 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: recent rash of abhorrent fan behavior. You know, they kind 99 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: of likened it to shaken up a soda can with 100 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: the pandemic. Let's not let's not be naive about this. 101 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: There have always been the so called bad apples who 102 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: show up every once in a while and take things 103 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: too far. But it's like the pandemic happened. Now fans 104 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: are back, and it's like every everyone forgot where the 105 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: governor switch was on, the difference between trying to distract 106 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: a player or heck a player and just being a 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: flat out moron. So where do you think the disconnect was? Like, 108 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: how how much do you put on the pandemic and 109 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: everybody being cooped up and having cabin fever? How much 110 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: there's of a percentage of bad fan behavior do you 111 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: put on the pandemic? Yeah, there's a there's a lot 112 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: of layers to this. There's no simple answer. But you 113 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: take an NBA game. A lot of people haven't seen 114 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: an NBA game in a long time, and now some 115 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: people are seeing them and some people aren't. Some of 116 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: these stadiums are empty, some of them have fans in them. 117 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Same with football and the way it was during the 118 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: regular season. But there used to be there has been 119 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: such a normal feeling about going to a game where 120 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: you'd go in, you'd see some of the same people. 121 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: You know where certain you know, like in the garden 122 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: he's know where certain celebrities sit, and you know the 123 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: people around you at high Mark Stadium. People know the 124 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: people around him. You know, you've got season tickets, you've 125 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: had them, You've got them from your dad, and the 126 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: guy next to you got him from his dad. You've 127 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: been coming with his dad, and you've known these people 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: or some of them for decades. There's a little bit 129 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: of that's disjointed. Now everybody's sitting in a different place. 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: Everybody's sitting sequestered. They're sitting in this, you know, away 131 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: from people they know, when among people, they have no 132 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: idea who they are, and that's not as normal. That's 133 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: not normal, particularly in a market the size of Buffalo 134 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: and in some of these other markets where they're trying 135 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: to find people to come in and a lot of 136 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: people just don't want to yet. So you've got this 137 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: feeling of this isn't a once in a lifetime kind 138 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: of thing. This is a kind of a unique situation, 139 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: and because of that, people don't act the way they 140 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: normally would if they were with their friends or people 141 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: they were familiar with. Fortunately, all the leagues have done 142 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do in these situations, which is overpunished, 143 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: so no one even thinks about doing the kinds of 144 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: things we've witnessed again. But do you think Steve, that 145 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: this spills over to the NFL this fall when fans 146 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: are allowed back. We know how tailgating loaves up fans 147 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: for games as it is now after being away for 148 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: a year and finally getting back into the building, you 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: know how the emotion kind of reaches a fevered pitch 150 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: right before a kickoff. What's it going to look like 151 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: in those touch point areas where teams head up the 152 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: tunnel at halftime or come out at the start of 153 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: the game. I know the stands are a little bit 154 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: further back in football in general, but there are going 155 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: to be touch points and flash points where the opportunity 156 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: could exist for somebody to get stupid in a football game. 157 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: It's a little different, particularly here in Buffalo, in Green Bay, 158 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, in Cincinnati, there in Pittsburgh, the town so 159 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: I can just think of Tennessee, there's a big tailgate atmosphere, 160 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: and that would be as as much of a difference 161 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: for me, people getting back outside, getting among people having 162 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: a you know, too much to drink, a lot of 163 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: that stuff going on where and then you know other 164 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: fans coming in and having altercations. You can see it happening, 165 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: but once you get in the stadium, I would say 166 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: it all depends on how your team is playing. If 167 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: your team's winning, I think there's no no issues because 168 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: you're happy and all of that. When something happens is 169 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: a tight game and one of their team does something, 170 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: you know, the Kyrie Irving going out and stamping, stomping 171 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: on the on the on the Celtics Center court um logo, 172 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, not smart fans feel like that's their territory, 173 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: and some instead of just booing and yelling some yahoo 174 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: feels like he wants to get a physical with the guy. 175 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: That's crazy. But all that stuff comes down to, you 176 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: know what's going on at the moment, and there will 177 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: be some thing's happening tailgates in the game, in a 178 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: tight game or coming off the field where fans will 179 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: have that moment where they can make a decision where 180 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: that they can get away with something, and quite frankly, 181 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: you just can't in the atmosphere of a professional sports 182 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: arena these days. I mean it's not like we haven't 183 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: seen it from time to time here in Buffalo over 184 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: the years. I mean I still remember a Bears game 185 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: where people were throwing snowballs at Ditka coming off the 186 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: field when he was the head coach of the Bears. 187 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: You know, back when he was coaching that team, people 188 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: are chucking snowballs and iceballs at him. We've seen that before. 189 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: We've also seen other foreign objects on the field before that. 190 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: We'll go nameless at this time, but it happens from 191 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: time to time. I just wonder if the pandemic effect, 192 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: which seems to at least in some small part, be 193 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: playing a role in what we've seen recently in the NBA. Chiefly, 194 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: I wonder if that still exists by the time we 195 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: get to the fall. It'll certainly be interesting to keep 196 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: an eye on going forward, because we know NFL fans 197 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: are going to be over the moon to finally be 198 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: back in stadiums on Sundays. Good discussion there, Time now 199 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: for the Numbers game where we quiz Steve on a 200 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: numerical trend or historical fact fact and watch him rack 201 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: his brain. Steve, since we're talking about fans, which turning 202 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: to NFL stadiums and what their behavior might look like, 203 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: I thought this week's Numbers games should deal with the 204 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: stadiums that will have the most people to worry about. So, Steve, 205 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: I need you to try to name five of the 206 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: ten largest NFL stadiums in terms of seating capacity in 207 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: the league seating capacity? Are you ready? I am ready? 208 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: All right, give me some. I will say Dallas AT 209 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: and T Stadium is number four on the list. Eighty 210 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: thousand is listed for football, but it can expand to 211 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, but it's number four on the Listerally, yeah, 212 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: there are three stadiums with more than eighty thousand capacity 213 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Wow, I didn't know that. And and one. 214 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: I will say this one surprised me. And then after 215 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: thinking about it, it made sense. But I would have 216 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: never guessed it. All right, Dallas is number four. I'm 217 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: gonna say. Wow. Kansas City. Kansas City is on the list, 218 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: number six after their renovation.

I'm only asking for half of Buffalo. 221 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Buffalo did not make the list, Steve, just outside the 222 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: top ten. You know they're down to seventy one, and 223 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: change down to seventy one and change? All right? Then, 224 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: how about MetLife. Medlife is number one on the list. 225 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: I feel like Richard Dawson the number one answer Medlife 226 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: Stadium eighty two and a half. I did not know that. 227 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: Eighty two and a half seating capacity. Yeah, it's cavernous. 228 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: Raymond James. Raymond James is not on the list, not 229 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: in the top ten. You need two more, Steve Oh 230 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: of New Orleans.

That surprised me. 241 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: I thought it would be larger, especially in a market 242 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: like La is not that big. I do think they 243 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: have expansion seating as well, but Arizona does. So what's Arizona, 244 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: Arizona not not in the top ten. Wow? Yeah, so 245 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: most of the well, actually most of these are not 246 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: some of the larger markets in the NFL that are left. 247 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: Number eight Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte seventy five thousand, 248 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: five hundred twenty three Mile High, the new Mile High 249 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: seventy six thousand, one twenty five, number seven on the list, 250 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: Number three on the list. Steve Lambo at eighty one 251 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: four forty one. Really, the new renovation provided an expansion. 252 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: If you remember they put that second level on eighty 253 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: one four forty one. It's a it's an intimate stadium, 254 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: I will say that because they went up vertical and 255 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: they just put the seats tilted, the seats to almost 256 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: like you can fall out on the stage. But now 257 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: at least people don't have to will their season tickets 258 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: to uh, you know, they're they're waiting spot. There are 259 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: people in Green Bay who will their spot on the 260 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: waiting list for season tickets to their grand kids. Yeah, 261 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: that is less of a problem now with the expansion 262 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: of the seats. And then Number two FedEx Field in 263 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: Washington eighty two thousand, so that is your top ten, 264 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: top eleven technically with Luman Stadium and so Far Stadium, 265 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: that's the one. That's the one. I was like, wow, Lambo. 266 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: I didn't know they went good for them. I don't 267 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,119 Speaker 1: know whether they went that high with the seating capacity, 268 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: but they did all right, good numbers gained there.

Yeah, so it really 329 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: stemmed from your root in wanting to make people happy 330 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: by giving them something good to eat, and you kind 331 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: of thrive on how it makes your food makes people 332 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: feel correct, Yeah, exactly, because you know, as we all know, 333 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: you are what you eat, you know what I mean? So, yeah, 334 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: whatever you eat, you know you performed that way. It's 335 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: that when I go for the players and make sure 336 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: I give them the best quality because I know their 337 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: body's what made their moody, right, you know. I mean 338 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: it's so I gotta keep the medical and strong. So 339 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: with that in mind, how did you kind of get 340 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: connected with the bills? And then who would you say 341 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: is the most specific? Who gives you the longest list 342 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: of how the food has to be, what can be 343 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: in it, what can't be in it, how it can 344 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 1: be prepared? Who gives you that long list? Chef? You 345 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: guys wouldn't get me each right here, man, Come on, now, 346 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: they don't listen. They won't listen to they're on, they're 347 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: out on the practice, they're working there. We're here in 348 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: their off times. So no, but I mean the truth, 349 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: The truth is, chef. We know that professional players are 350 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: very specific because, as you said, you know, their bodies 351 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: are are their meal ticket. They need to be in 352 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: top physical conditions. So I imagine that their requests are 353 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: going to be a lot more lengthy than maybe the 354 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: average family that says, oh, we'd love it to have 355 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: you over for to cook us dinner. Yeah, so um. 356 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: Van Davis was my very first guy when it wasn't 357 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: the bills. You walk in a restaurant that was working hand. 358 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: So I was surprised to see a black man in 359 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: the restaurant because he then Brigi don't see much blackballs 360 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: walking around. So I walked over to him. I'm like, no, welcome, 361 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: and I understand I didn't know who he was they 362 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: I didn't follow football that much. I saw him the 363 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: next day, I'm like, oh, you're back. He's everything. Was 364 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: amazing man who was in charge. I'm like, I'm the 365 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: executive chef here. He's like, he'll be my personal chef. 366 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: I'm like, who's this guy asking me to be his 367 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: personal chef? They didn't that he played for the Bills 368 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: and all this stuff I cook Forman. When he left, 369 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: he flim into Miami to do his events and stuff. 370 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: So I mean, all these players from there, then they 371 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: fly into River daily to do their event. And that's 372 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: pretty much always started. And how the players start seeing it, 373 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, who's this guy?

So how 386 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: do you have to like buy extra food. When you 387 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: do an event for football players, particularly a twenty fifth 388 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: you know, a twenty fifth birthday party for Josh and 389 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: all these guys that show up, what kind of you know, 390 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: what kind of menu do they like? And what do 391 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: you know you have to do for a group of 392 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: professional football players.

And because I know even when I 429 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: when I played, some of the guys really had to 430 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: watch what they ate, and other guys didn't care at all. 431 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: How do you balance that mix if you've got all 432 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: those guys sitting at the same table. I'm glad you 433 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: bring it up because sometimes they look to me for 434 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: guidance for that nutrition and stuff. I'm like, I'm a chef, 435 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: I'm not that nutrition is which blows my mind that somebody, 436 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: as guys, they're doing at that guidance someone who would 437 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: have telling them all the heat and what the heat. 438 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: And it's like, this is what they do, you know, 439 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you should have someone to guide you to 440 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: say this is what you eat to keep you going. 441 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: You eat some sea masks to keep you strong, you know, 442 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: all these stuff.

So I asked it once your goal, wait, 445 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: they do. So you want to bulk up, you want 446 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,239 Speaker 1: to lose weight, you wanna entertain. So some guys are 447 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: let school, like straight pasta and stuff like that because 448 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: that's what they want.

I know that 465 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: might sound sacrilegious to a chef, but is that something 466 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: that you will at least try to help him out with? Yees? 467 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: So I try to cook everywhere the day so some 468 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: of these guys eat too.

That's where 492 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: I used to go all these guys meal. That's what 493 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: I said Diggs wanted. And you know it's own almost 494 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: every night Maney players, so those guys can eat. Yeah, 495 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: right right now. I do have to ask your chef 496 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: because I've been fortunate enough to travel to some of 497 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: the islands in the Caribbean, including your your island of Jamaica, 498 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: and I am particularly fond of the conk gritters. Now, 499 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: how hard is it to get good conk here in 500 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo for you to kind of make dishes like that? 501 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Is it hard to get or relatively easy? You know, 502 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem getting conk, So Mommi Clark's 503 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: from clark Sport and seafood always got conk. And to say, 504 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: sometime I go to the Broadway Market Broadway seafood always 505 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: got con too, So okay, good up for me. For example, 506 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: I have a smaller party of two people, the one 507 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: confritters instead by our entire fi poon container. They break 508 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: it up for me. It's a year ago. Here's two 509 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 1: pounds to make it comforters. So what is the what 510 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: everyone I can ship it in? Are I can get 511 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: it from anywhere? All right? What is most what's the 512 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: most difficult thing for you to procure? What's the hardest 513 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: protein for you to get your hands on? Um, artist protein? 514 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think there's anything that I really 515 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: can't get. Look at that he can cover. He covers 516 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: all the bases. Man, Yeah, I'm thinking, you know, I 517 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: pretty much get it all, man, I pretty much get 518 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: it all nice. Like if I want like carribbean lobster, No, 519 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: I can't really get that, you know, because Derbian lobsters 520 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: different from lobsters here. You know, they don't have a clause. 521 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: They have like too long thing going out, but they're 522 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: not claws, you know. I think I keep looking for 523 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 1: carrying lobster. I don't have that, so I think they 524 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: I think they call that. Is that the rock? Is 525 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: that what they call rock lobster around here? Yeah? Yeah? Uh, Chef, 526 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: Where do you kind of see yourself maybe in a 527 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: couple of years, I know there. I know you've had 528 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: some aspirations to kind of have your own home base 529 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: where you can have people come in instead of you 530 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: go to them, because that would make your operation a 531 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: lot easier. It's hard to take your pots and pans 532 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: on the road, man, It's probably to do it in 533 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: a home base. Right. Is that kind of the the 534 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: end game here in a year or two? Yeah, let 535 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: me tell you about that. Bringing pot and panja for it. 536 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: It's rough, man. And that's what I do. Was a 537 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: private chef, like for example, YouTube booked me for a party. 538 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: I'll come to your house with everything, pot pants, salt, pepper, everything, 539 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,239 Speaker 1: because I learned my mistake, you know what I mean, 540 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: I learned from my mistake, like go to people's own man. 541 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: The probably got some salt, No no salt, Probably got 542 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: some pepper, No no pepper. So I start bringing my 543 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: own stuff. But then I'm like you gets tiring, man, 544 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: just bringing the stuff every night to people's home. That's 545 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: why I add this new spot down the street. That's 546 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be my own base and the play 547 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: in society. So I'll be doing cooking classes there, cooking shows, 548 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: dinner parties. I got a big long island with a 549 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: stove in the middle of maybe cooking and entertaining because 550 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: I love entertaining. I mean, the players are excited about 551 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: that place too, because Joshua's be like, man, we need 552 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: that every Sunday night after the games. I'm like, say 553 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: no more, man, Um, so you're never gonna ever have 554 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: been there with strangers. It's us, you and your crew. 555 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: So they do for the nights. You have me all nights. Yeah, 556 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: So when when do you think that might be up 557 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: and running? Do you have a timetable yet or is 558 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: that still in the works. You know, it's supposed to 559 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: be in this month, but man got pushed back to 560 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: that in November January. No, because the cost of lumber 561 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: is like insane, right, Yeah, so I'm kind of holding 562 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: back right now to see yet if anything get better 563 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: at standboles on you know, so you best, that's right, 564 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: So you and not other players.

I mean you and if 580 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: depending on the size of the party, I guess I 581 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: do have a sush chef to help. Like private events, 582 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: but when I do a players is just me, you know, 583 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: My man Dwayne and I got a server, Austin and Mike. 584 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: Those guys help me know when I do like private parties, 585 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: but when I do players, stuff is just me.

For the Bills. Defensive coordinator Leslie Fraser 641 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: revealed that they've got close to a half dozen players 642 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: in the mix for the nickel corner slash linebacker hybrid role. 643 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: They've got two safeties, Tomar Hamlin, sarand Neil, three corners 644 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson, Cam Lewis, Rashad Wild Goose. The question is 645 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: will this position be manned by a single player in 646 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one? Provided these healthy all season long? We're 647 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: assuming picture perfect health for said player. Is the position 648 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: manned by one guy the whole year? Well, in a 649 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: perfect world, yes, okay, I don't think they want to 650 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: rotate guys. They want to have eleven guys they can 651 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: play in any situation, which means they can choose their 652 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,959 Speaker 1: matchup rather than the offense choosing theirs. So I would say, 653 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: for six seventeen games, eighteen weeks, well, we're assuming the 654 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: unrealistic world of perfect health, I'll say yes, but I'm 655 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: sure that they're gonna be games like if you know, 656 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: if you go into these games where they may have 657 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: a matchup that they want like better, they'll switch guys out. 658 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: But I would say, yeah, in that situation, I would 659 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: say probably would be. I think that's their goal and 660 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: they're they've got enough guys to choose from. One of 661 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: those guys will rise up. I tend to think it's 662 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: gonna be mix and match with some of those weekly 663 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: matchups that you referred to, Like you know they're playing 664 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: New England, you know they're gonna go two tights. I 665 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 1: think they may go with a heavier guy as opposed 666 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,800 Speaker 1: to maybe tarn Johnson. They might go with a bigger 667 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: player like Saran Neil, maybe Tomorrow Hamlin if he's you know, 668 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: coming on strong and training camp and showing he's up 669 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 1: to speed on stuff. So I think they may mix 670 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: and match. Not a lot, but I think in a 671 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,319 Speaker 1: given game week they're gonna say, hey, these guys are 672 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: going two tights the whole game, let's get a bigger 673 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: guy on the field. As our quote unquote nickel guy. Um, yeah, 674 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: to me, there's a difference between putting a guy in 675 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: there for the entire game and then switching while you're 676 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 1: in game. Yeah. Um, if you're gonna switch guys in game, 677 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: I think that's that's what you're talking about maybe doing 678 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: with a bunch of guys. But in a game where 679 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: you've got a guy that matches up well, I think 680 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: they'll find a guy then that'll be their guys. I 681 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: think week one, you know you're you're playing a for 682 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: a wide team like Tampa, it's probably Tarn Johnson or 683 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: a corner. And then when you're playing New England, who's 684 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: gonna go two tights, you're probably there's a good chance 685 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 1: you're probably rotating a bigger guy in there. So I 686 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: think that's that's how it'll go. You have any early favorites, 687 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: you're you're riding Taron Johnson for Tarn Johnson's the guy 688 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: you gotta unseat. Um, so yeah, this is a this 689 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: is you get what you earn, and Tarn Johnson has 690 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: earned the starting shot. Somebody's got to outperform him, and 691 00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: that's it's gonna be hard to do. And I think 692 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: the reason why is because Tarn Johnson is clearly a 693 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: player that this defensive staff trusts. You got all these 694 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: other guys in the mix, even Siran Neil who's been 695 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: here for a minute. I think they still have to 696 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: earn the trust with all the responsibilities that are involved 697 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 1: with that position in the scope of this defense. That'll 698 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: do it for this edition of One Bill's Life.
