1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. We were visiting my brother Ryan in two packs

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: and ten and you just put on like highlight Rio's

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: of Ray Lewis laying down the heart. Yeah. I just

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: started going to the bars and started hanging out with

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: the locals and I've been a fan ever since. Of

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: course that stays that were useless walk inside like Ruby.

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, in West Africa, I didn't really have any

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: grew about American football. So I'm surprised you said rugby

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: is less filed with the football or more rugby. They

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: can hit though the even Rugby think fine. Go all right, yeah,

11
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: welcome into the Lounge. This is the first ever. And

12
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: we don't get to say that a whole lot because

13
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: we tend to repeat ourselves. Um, but we have the

14
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: international episode of the Lounge. I am super excited about this.

15
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: As you can all see, we have a wide range

16
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: of people doing He even has already dancing. This is great. Uh.

17
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: We have people from around the world, Ravens fans around

18
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: the world. Uh, and we're gonna introduce you all to

19
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: them and ask them about what it's like being an

20
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: international Ravens fan. Uh. So thrilled to have you all on. Yeah,

21
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,919
Speaker 1: I think that's one. UH. I guess silver lining of

22
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: where we are right now in the world during covid

23
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: UH is that everyone has gotten very accustomed you to

24
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: doing different types of video conferencing and UH this is

25
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: sort of a way that people communicate, and it's it's

26
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: fun to organize something like this. I don't think we

27
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: would have had this idea UH in a normal year,

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: and it wasn't technically our idea. It was Martin's idea,

29
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: so we can't say credit for the idea, but I

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: don't know that we would have been able to make

31
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: this happen UH in normal years, So it's it's really

32
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: exciting to do this. The other thing I would say

33
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: too is since we started the podcast, I think, in

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: going back several years now, one of the things that's

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: always amazed me is that we've had such a loyal

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: international following, and more so than I can think of

37
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: with any other piece of content on our website, on

38
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: our app, on our social media. It just seems like

39
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: the podcast has been a way to connect with an

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: international audience and that's been awesome to see. So we're

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: really excited about today. But before we get into introducing

61
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: it was awesome. I wanted to spend more time there.

62
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm jealous of you. Yeah, so, um, I was the

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl was two one Ravens to givets uh

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: and then I think I started in two thousand and

65
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: two or three. We're starting to see Ravens every Sunday

66
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: and that's been the story since then. So I've been

67
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 1: to to the States, in to London to see Ravens,

68
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: but unfortunately not in in Baltimore yet. So we're looking

69
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: forward to go to m mc bank uh to fill

70
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. So but yeah, pretty much for eighteen years.

71
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: All right, awesome, Well, thank you Martin. Let's go to

72
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,640

00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: Martin um and following the Ravens since two thousand and one.

74
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,400

Speaker 1: the desert of Dubai. Been out here for for five

76
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: years now. Um so it makes makes watching the games challenging.

00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: But those Thursday games it's great. I can eat my

78
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: breakfast and watched the game before work. Depending on how

79
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: the result goes depends on if it's a good day

80
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,960

Speaker 1: for having me. From Toronto, Canada, so just outside of Toronto.

97
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Been a Ravens fan since twenty eleven or so. Uh,

98
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: kind of got into it, was looking to get into football.

99
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: Had a friend who lived in Baltimore and we just

100
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,559
Speaker 1: would shoot some text back and forth when the Ravens

101
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: were airing in Canada. Uh. And then it was really

102
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of that playoff run and the Billy kind of

103
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: sort of miss Kick, which kind of cemented the uh

104
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the fandom, and then moving forward from there. Obviously, the

105
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: next year got lucky with the Super Bowl and things

106
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: kind of took off from there. Nice. That's yeah, that's

107
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: kind of similar to me. I became a fan of

108
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: ninety nine was when I first started getting interested in

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: kind of they started to be kind of good. And

110
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: then two thousand I was like, all right, well now man,

111
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna be good. Came you came at the

112
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: same time to me. I started working for the team

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: in twenty eleven, and so that first that was my

114
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: first season uh the Laws in New England, and then

115
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: followed up the Super Bowl. I was like, this is great.

116
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: My first year we go to the nh Championship. My

117
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: second year we win the Were Bowl. I get used

118
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: to this. Yeah. The guy that Garrett replaced was there

119
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: for like six or seven years, Mike Duffy if any

120
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: of you were, you know, a long time fans here,

121
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: and he didn't get to sniff the Super Bowl. Garrett

122
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: comes in, takes his job and goes on, all right,

123
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: so let's go to Daniel. Yeah. So, um, I'm currently

124
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: it just went out of Vancouver in Canada. Um I

125
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: grew up there. I was born just outside of Toronto,

126
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: but moved chair and I was about five, Yeah, I

127
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: was probably about five or six. My brothers had football

128
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: on the TV and the Ravens were on and they

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: had the purpect jerseys and I was like, you know what,

130
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I like that purple jersey. So ever since then, all

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the video games and all the Maddens ones, I was

132
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: always the Ravens. And then seriously, probably about six seventy

133
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: years ago, it just became like die hard loyal and

134
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: this ever since then nice, very cool. All right bart

135
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: yep I am? Are you not from to Go West Africa?

136
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: And right now, um I am in Baltimore here. But

137
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm still learning the game because I know nothing about

138
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: football when I was intergal So, just like Carl, I

139
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: started following a little bit by the end of twenty eleven.

140
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: And then from then I couldn't even watch the whole game,

141
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: like I would just watch like the last five minutes

142
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: because it was too brittle. And I don't know, it

143
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: was still brittle for me. So I started that I

144
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: am able now to sit through a whole game. Maybe

145
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: two years now I'll be able to sit through this

146
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: whole game. Yeah, so I'm very proud to be a

147
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: Raven and looking forward to the new young ones that

00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Ryan started out in two thousand and four, he tells me,

157
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: and then that, Yeah, we were visiting my brother Ryan

158
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten and you just put on

159
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: like highlight riels of ray Lewis laying down the hearth,

160
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: I can't even home, and we started watching, uh the

161
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Ravens and got like really to it. I was like

162
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: in the university at the time in Kingston, um, and yeah,

163
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: I just started going to the bars and started hanging

164
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: out with the locals instead of all my peers, just

165
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: to watch football. And yeah, I've been a fan ever since.

166
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: And I think that brought my brother and I closer,

167
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: and my mom kind of saw our relationship strengthen because

168
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: of that, so she started watching. And it wasn't until

169
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty twelve season that I started. So some people would say, oh, yeah, yeah,

170
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: that's an easy year to become great and spent. It

171
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: was coincidental. Nice. We've been to four four games twice

172
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: in more, once in Miami and more recently the one

173
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Okay, nice, nice? Nice Were you were you

175
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm from Monteba, Mexico. Um it's in the north. It's

176
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: a big city here, and um, I always have a

177
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: really love for the game and I always like Ray

178
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: Louise and e Breeth and playing like a raven and

179
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: and everything like that. And uh, well it was like

180
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Natalie in the twenty twelve season, UM, I like, I

181
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: like really like rock climbing and the mountains and stuff

182
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: like that. So that weekend, Uh, it's a long weekend

183
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: in here in Mexico, So we went climbing the biggest

184
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: mountain in Mexico that it's Picota Depended and we were like,

185
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: uh that the specifically that Sunday. Uh. We we started

186
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: like fifteen seventeen hours of the of the hike. We

187
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: were at the like at the top of the mountain.

188
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: Then we came back and since we were lucky because

189
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: we ended up like at sex six seven in the

190
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, so just because the lights go off,

191
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: we could make it to the super Bowl. So that

192
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: was like, I just loved being a raven since then

193
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: because it's it was like perfect. It was one of

194
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: the biggest day of my life. So I really liked

195
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: that day. And like winning the super Bowl was like

196
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: the top of it. And besides, at the top of

197
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: the mountain, the only animal you see, it's a raven.

198
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, that's that's that's not that's awesome.

199
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: So I become raven since then. And now since my

200
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: baby boy was burned like two years ago, um, we

201
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: were looking for for stuff and baby yeerseys and stuff

202
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: like that. So um, when he was burned, it was

203
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: like the first weekend that Lamar played, So he started

204
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: like my baby boy playing and like since he was burned,

205
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: Lamar started with you Flacco and it was awesome. It's

206
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: it's you know awesome. The last year, big draws and everything.

207
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: It's like, I love being a Raven. That's awesome. My

208
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: second daughter was born on the first night of the

209
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: draft last year, when Hollywood Brown was drafted. My baby

210
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: was born that morning, so we should have definitely given

211
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: her the middle name I like. I like to mention

212
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: that I'm actually in my uh Fantasy Champion with Lamar

213
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: and Mark Andrews and five years I was not even

214
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. It's really really close league and it's

215
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a twelve team. So I drafted Lamar in the seventh

216
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: round last year and everyone was like, oh, you're drafting

217
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: with your heart, Lamar. Here's nothing in his dries and everywhere.

218
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: It was like just throwing me because of that. Then

219
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: at the ten round, UM I drafted Mark Andrews and

220
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: in the final game in the in the like the

221
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: really final, it was like when the Ravens were playing

222
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: the team on Browns and well, I just threw too

223
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: touchdown passes to Mark Andrews and that was like seal

224
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: off the final game, and it was awesome. Uh yeah,

225
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: that sounds like like my team I had. I had

226
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: the same combination. I was like, yes, we're winning this

227
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: game and I'm winning the championship. Yes, yeah, but you

228
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: never That's the thing, though, make you never win the championship.

229
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: You always get close. This year you got six different

230
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: you go six different leagues, and then you're always like, well,

231
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues, I've got I won the championship.

232
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know that really counts. I want to

233
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: say hi to all my friends in the in my

00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: seven FM, who started covering the Ravens last year, and

238
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,760

00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: harder working than us. Go ahead, Himena Bryant. He's right

244
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,880

00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: Uh because not not just for that because looking at

254
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: the screen of the Steeler fans and the stadiums. It

255
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: was more exciting looking at them just walking off the stadium.

256
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: But um, and that was actually my first jersey two

257
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,160

Speaker 1: you know. C. J. Mosley was my my um that,

259
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,800

Speaker 1: So my my, my son was born in two thousand fifteen,

264
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,040

269
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: So it was twelve and my my son was just

270
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: months old, and I was just like holding him and

271
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: watching the Super Bowl, and I was just like she

272
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: was in the kitchen. I'm like, Ravens she was holding

273
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: because he was sleeping, so I was trying to hold it,

274
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: but I was just shaking inside. My love for the

275
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: Ravens became because I just always wanted to, like a

276
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: soccer fan, always wanted to be a opposite on all

277
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: my friends, all my rescuing fans friends, and I just

278
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: wanted to be the opposite and became a Ravens fan.

279
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: But that true love became in two thousand and eighteen

280
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: when I was going to do the calls and being

281
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: to play by play and as he made I was saying,

282
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: it was a good year, but this year it was

283
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: the luckiest year. Having him in a Gustavo in the booth.

284
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, these guys are very lucky, you know, my

285
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: lucky my lucky charm team, you know. So it was

286
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: almost a perfect season. You know, it was the first

287
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: sixth season, and um, having Lamar and the team, it

288
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: just became something very special and and I know people

289
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: were like oh man, you know Lamar is gonna get her.

290
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: You she these guys are just haters, you know, because

291
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: I know they wished to have Lamar and their team.

292
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: So yeah, this this year was amazing. Um, I'll let

293
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: him in a compliment that. But we're very excited, and

294
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: not just because you know, I'm part of the Ravens,

295
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: but I think it's the best franchise in the whole world.

296
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Nice a second, I agree with you on that. Yeah,

297
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: or he might not jump in there. Yeah, we'll let

298
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: him man to go first. He might so. Um, you know,

299
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,159

300
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: live right here in Silver Spring, As So like when

301
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens came to town, it was like, wait a minute,

302

Speaker 1: what's this is a new team, And you know, it

303
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: was a bumpy road when it first started. Um. The

304
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: first time I went to a Ravens game was November one,

305
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: was against Jacksonville jack It was a blowout and I

306
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,600

Speaker 1: stadium is nice, sustains nice, Let's see what happen. So

308
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: when they went on that run with the Super Bowl,

309
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: I think, like everybody did, like this mass transition whoever

310
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: lived in Maryland went from being a Redskin fan to

311
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan, you know. So ever since then, I've

312
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: always followed the Ravens um But you know, I'm a

313
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: huge fan of football, so I always followed like almost

314
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: every team. I got my start broadcasting about like eight

315
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: years ago with the Eagles, but I always had my eye,

316
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: you know, of course, with what's going on here in Baltimore.

317
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: So when I got the opportunity last year to come

318
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: join the Ravens, I was like, you know what, Yes,

319
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the switch. I'm gonna go from Philadelphia,

320
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: go to Baltimore because something that I was missing with

321
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is that I didn't know the whole history of

322
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: the Eagles like I did of the Ravens. Because I

323
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: mean with the Ravens, I saw them with with tested

324
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: verdie At quarterback, Harbor, quarterback, Anthony Right, Tony Banks, like

325
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,719
Speaker 1: I saw them with the Struggles, you know, Scott Mitchell.

326
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: I gotta have an Elvis girback jersey. So you know,

327
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: I've always been die hard, you know, ray Lewis fan,

328
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: like ray Lewis is like my football inspiration and read

329
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: it like like everything about the organization. You know, one

330
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: has to admire from outside looking within. So then like

331
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: I was saying, I sally want the opportunity to join

332
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens, Like you know what, Yeah, this is my home,

333
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: this is where I'm gona be. And yeah the season

334
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: was was magical, but there's still a lot of work,

335
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: you know, like I hope this season we look for

336
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: the third trophy. Like super Bowl parties that were amazing.

337
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: My first assignment ever doing anything for the NFL was

338
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: covering the Ravens championship parade or the party that they

339
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: had an MMT Bank after the second Super Bowl. So

340
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: that was my broadcast all over Bolivia. Like it was,

341
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was just like a match made

342
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: in heaven almost. That's cool. That's cool, m least exactly

343
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the last for their best. Oh well, I'm reading from

344
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: lowya from South America. Um but I considering myself Washingtonian

345
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: and also I really close to Maryland. I love Baltimore City.

346
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: There is a lot of things that I have in

347
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: my mind this year that I want to work with

348
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: and also with my team and what else I want

349
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: to say that um as as Gustao, I was um

350
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: follow and other teams before, um, because of my family. Um.

351
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: And also I was finally but like I'm saying, people

352
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: who are judging me for my family, uh, was geordging

353
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: me for esta follow our family team. But I said

354
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: to them, you know what, you cannot hate me because

355
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: we have r G Tree now, so I love me.

356
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: And also I was called another team and also I

357
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: become I used to like that other team. And also

358
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: people were criticized me for a fellow of this for

359
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: working for this team, and so they say to me,

360
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: what you're doing it? And I said, wait a minute,

361
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: I have I'm now working with coach John Harbor and

362
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: he used to me to this team and now he's

363
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: part of the Baltimore Ravens, so don't hate me. Finally, um,

364
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: so I was botive more Ravens. Then I switched to

365
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: another team. But finally I pully low and one percent

366
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: fan of the Baltimore Ravens. Uh. And I can say

367
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: one fan since last year because we have an MVP

368
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: player there is Lemark Jackson. He's not only that he

369
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: wanted the NFL owners, but also because he he was

370
00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: the MVP offensive in the in the probo. They I

371
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: have the opportunity with Garrett to see this amazing game

372
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: and the UF win thirty eight. And so I I

373
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: like all of the players. I like, um, how the

374
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: how the whole team is working. How how we're having

375
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: these foorking games and we want foorking And okay, we

376
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: lost too, by still were having a really like David say,

377
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: and like I would say, we are in the best place.

378
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: I feel like home and and I believe that we

379
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: can win this year the Super Bowl if God allows

380
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: you allow. All right, all right, what alrights down? Everybody? Well,

381
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: one thing then that I always love hearing from our

382
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: international listeners is about how you watch the games, especially

383
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: for for fans who are in much different times z

384
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: ines um so Matthew and then Martin, can you talk

385
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: a little bit about the struggle that comes with that. Yeah.

386
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: So for me, like I said, the mid the midweek

387
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: games like the Thursdays, on the Monday nights, I've got

388
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: NFL game pass, so I'll get up early with the

389
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: little one. I'll volunteer to do the morning feed on

390
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: on those days. So then the rest of the time

391
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: on the Sunday kickoffs, there's a again similar to George,

392
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: I'm in a fancy league out here with some Americans

393
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: and we all go down to one of the local bars,

394
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: um and they've got like six screens just watch all

395
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: the different games. So have some wings, have some beers

396
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was it's it's just a good way

397
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: to spend Sundays. Nice and Martin. Yeah. So the the

398
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: early game on Sunday, that's at seven o'clock in Copenhagen UM,

399
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: so the early for you, No, the bus opened at

400
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: the twelve o'clock with the soccer games going on, so

401
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: you can catch some some Premier League or German soccer

402
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. And then I will get the

403
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: kids asleep at the straight seven o'clock and then I

404
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: would just turn on the game. And then of course

405
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: the the four o' clock game is still manageable. Um,

406
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: it will be finished by two in the morning. So

407
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: the Monday morning is going to be rough, and U

408
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: usually I will get up for the Monday night or

409
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: the Sunday night or Thursday nights. So I had to

410
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: to bed and then hopefully sleep for a couple of

411
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: hours and then get up at two thirty and then

412
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: and then what's the game, and then just going straight

413
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: to work. Or maybe take half an hour uh sleep

414
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: on our So, um, it's it's a grind, but it's

415
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: definitely what that well, that's it's commitment. Like that's the

416
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: thing that always amazes me about our international fans is

417
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: that it's commitment. Like some people in Baltimore, you can

418
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: just be a casual fan where it's on and you

419
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: support the team because your friends do. And it's an

420
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: activity where for so many of you you have to

421
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: really commit and build a lot of your life around

422
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: watching the game and getting the information. It doesn't just

423
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: come to you. Uh. Birth I'm curious what was when

424
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: you started getting interested in football and you're in West Africa.

425
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: What was the perception of American football at that time? Um,

426
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: in West Africa? And how did you uh did you

427
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: have anyone to to talk football with or anything like

428
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: that or was all kind of on your own? Oh no,

429
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: that close stings that were useless work? Is that like Ruby?

430
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: You know? So Ruby was more popular than American football,

431
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: so and it is less bad. So when I came here,

432
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: when I got a little bit introduced to the game, Yeah, yeah,

433
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: in West Africa, didn't really have any crew about American

434
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: football Alright, alright, So I'm surprised you say rugby is

435
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: less violent than football or more what was it? Rugby? Rugby?

436
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: They can hit, though they're not they've talked about doing

437
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: for football is taking the helmets off, you know, in

438
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: practices and stuff to make it safer. I'm curious. We

439
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: have three people from Canada here. No, we have Kyle,

440
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: Natalie and Daniel here. Uh yeah, Natalie and I'm sorry Leslie. Um,

441
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: so in Canada, I mean there's the CFL. Is how

442
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: does that kind of weigh in with the NFL? Do

443
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: you pay much attention to the CFL? How do you

444
00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: kind of is it both? What's your take on that? So? Um,

445
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: Natalie and and my Ryan got u into the NFL together.

446
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: I was more into the CFL and was watching football.

447
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: It would be the CFL games. And by the way,

448
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: the city where ryanins, which is Winnipeg. They're the current

449
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: Winnipeg Blue Ball Bombers are the current Great Cup champions. Okay, okay,

450
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: But in talking to Ryan this week, he was saying

451
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,239
Speaker 1: there's concern with if the season doesn't go ahead, the

452
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: viability of the league is really in question. That's yeah,

453
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: it's different from the point of view when we have

454
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: three downs. Um, so a lot of Canadian fans seem

455
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: to think of the NFL is kind of a little

456
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: bit late because you have one more shot at it.

457
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just makes you kind of throw the

458
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: ball more, I guess. And yeah, it's a it's kind

459
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: of a mind it out. Lots of interesting different plays,

460
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: kind of trick plays and stuff going on that may

461
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: not happen much in the NFL. Well like that. A

462
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: member of CFL royalty is a former offensive coordinator for

463
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens and Mark Trustman, who has been a very

464
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: successful CFL coach I know, so for the other guys

465
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: there now, No, he was in the XFL. He was

466
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: in the XFL before that folded, uh, just a couple

467
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: of months ago, so as he had made the transition

468
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: down there. Well, and the Baltimore Stallions were once once

469
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: or twice the Gray Cup champions, Yeah, before we got

470
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens here in the CFL there for a little bit. Yeah, Mark,

471
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: I think Mark Trustman, he had a ton of success

472
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: with the Aliuattes up in the CFL for years. Um.

473
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: But to m Leslie's point, where her son is Ryan,

474
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: I know, like in the West the CFL and the

475
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: Central Canada. Like CFL is really popular in Toronto. I

476
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: mean I don't follow the argos closely, but yeah, to

477
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: your point though, like the CFL in general has a

478
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: big following Canada. But interesting note from Leslie about the

479
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: struggles of the league. That's unfortunate because it's kind of

480
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: like a Canadian pastime along with hockey obviously, the CFL

481
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: and a lot of areas right right right, yeah, Toronto, Toronto.

482
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: Like with living in Toronto, you're so I would, I

483
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: would assume, very in touch with all the United States

484
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: sports and happenings just because you're literally right over the border. Yeah,

485
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: and you have like the Raptors, so you have the

486
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: NBA coverage, the NFL coverage just because of the NFL

487
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: being so large and popular, and then with the Leafs

488
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: as well, the NHL coverage, So you get a lot

489
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: of sports sports American media. So a lot of Buffalo

490
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: fans here in Toronto. And oftentimes, you know, if I'm

491
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: every once in a while, i go into work after

492
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: a big win on the Monday, and I'm wearing my

493
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Ravens cap or whatever, and people are saying, Ravens, why

494
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: are you pulling for the Ravens. Yeah, so so what

495
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: uh you know, we would love to answer some of

496
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: your guys questions if you have any, um, and if

497
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: anyone has one, we can just take a couple and

498
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: uh see what questions. We always love the emails that

499
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: you send. So what questions might you have today? All right?

500
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: Question about the running back situation. Um, it seems like

501
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: we've got four very viable running backs and can you

502
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: realistically see us starting the season with all four? I

503
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: do think all four will be on the team at

504
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: the start of the season. I think mark Ingram will

505
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: be the starter. Um, and it's he's he's in the

506
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: driver's seat of that position. But the Ravens drafted J. K.

507
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: Dobbins because they have really high expectations for him and

508
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: they were shocked that he was available at the end

509
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: of the second round. So the fact that they got him,

510
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: you're just too good to pass up. And the thing

511
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: with the running backs is they all do something's different

512
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: like no one else on the gust Gus Edwards the

513
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: bus and if you guys listen on the podcast, you

514
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: know that Ryan I love the bus. Um. He is

515
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: He's different than any of the other guys in the backfield.

516
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: If he's bigger, he's stronger, so there's still gonna be

517
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: opportunities for him and a third and one On third

518
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: and one, giving the ball to the bus is a

519
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: pretty good option, um, and letting him plow ahead for

520
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: a couple of yards. Uh, and then Justice Hill like

521
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I liked what I saw from him last year, there

522
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: were flashes. I think it's gonna be tough for him

523
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: because it's it is a crowded group. But um, the

524
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: Ravens do like his potential. He's got a ton of speed.

525
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: He can catch them all out of back field, so

526
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: he's got a high ceiling UM, So I still think

527
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be I think the biggest question mark is

528
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: how quickly J. K. Dobbins can insert himself into a

529
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: significant role. Like, maybe that doesn't happen right away. Is

530
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: he getting five or six carries early? Um? But then

531
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, if he turns out

532
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: to be as good as everyone expects, how much of

533
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: the of the pies he eating in the second half

534
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: of the year. Because I think that he's gonna be

535
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: in store for a pretty big role if he turns

536
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: out to be what we all expected to be. Do

537
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: you have one, Matthew, You look like you started. Yeah,

538
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: I was. I was gonna say, like, you know, we've

539
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: all talked about last season and how brilliant it was,

540
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: and again it's kind of getting to the playoffs and

541
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, losing that first hurdle. What do you think

542
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: we need to kind of do as a team to

543
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of get get over that. I think it's gonna

544
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: come down to, Uh, you know, it's not one magic pill.

545
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: But I think what hurt the Ravens last year is

546
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: that they seem to get a little fit flustered. Um,

547
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, when things just the brakes weren't going their way,

548
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: Like everything that could have gone against the Ravens in

549
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: the Titans game went against Ravens, and I think that

550
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: just kind of knocked him off course a little bit.

551
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a young team, particularly on offense. Uh,

552
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: you know, the Stars are all very young. And I

553
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: think that the loss against Tennessee will provide that kind

554
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: of motivation and just the understanding that like sometimes you're

555
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: just gonna get hit in the mouth and you've got

556
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: to not freak out and try to play hero ball

557
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: and and try to make it all back in one play, right,

558
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: Like that's gonna happen, and uh, and so to me,

559
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, the talent is there. I

560
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: think that they just have to get used to being

561
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: and you know, it's kind of the double not a

562
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: double edged sword. But the tough part about blowing everybody

563
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: out at the end of the year was like, we

564
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: weren't in a lot of close games, you know, And

565
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: so then you get hit early in that Titans game

566
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: with the interception on the first drive. You know, then

567
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: they come back and the long touchdown and you're just like,

568
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? Right, and suddenly they're

569
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: they're like a fish out of water. And so I

570
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: think the more times that they're tested in that way

571
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: and and come back, you know, that's one thing that

572
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: Lamar and this team hasn't really done is come back

573
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: from a deficit and win a game the past year

574
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: and a half. And uh, that's gonna happen at some point.

575
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: And I think once it does, that will be a

576
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: It's something they don't forget, you know, they'll know how

577
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: to do it, and that'll be a valuable thing for

578
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: when they get to the playoffs when you're going to

579
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: be in close games. That was kind of the funny

580
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: thing with Joe Flacco. But Joe, you were always in

581
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: a close game. We didn't want anybody so we got

582
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. You're just like, all right, been here

583
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: a million times, Like I'm not not worried. Nothing changes, um. So,

584
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: like Lamar's almost too good for his own good. Yeah,

585
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: And I think I'll just add to that with Joe,

586
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: it was like for years obviously having Joe as a quarterback.

587
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of us With Lamar now, it's

588
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: like kind of refreshing in the sense like he gets

589
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: so frustrated when he doesn't do well, and Joe was

590
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: like so good at being Joe cool. But at the

591
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: same time, you're kind of like you wanted to see

592
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: that kind of like frustration. So it's cool. It's nice

593
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: to see Lamar like he just he's hard on himself.

594
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: Would he like misses a pass or whatever. So that's

595
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: kind of a nice refreshing side with Lamar's quarterback. But

596
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: we'll always love Joe for the super Bowl, so y,

597
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: and there's theirs first five seasons, you know, took us

598
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs every time. I think he's got one

599
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: of the best records in the playoffs. H Yeah, yeah,

600
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, it was. There was there's a bit

601
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: of a debate because we did our our top Altar

602
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: Our all time team, which was fan voted last week,

603
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: which we released, and there was and Lamar just barely

604
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: beat out Joe, the closest race of any position, and

605
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: that led to a lot of debate about who deserved

606
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: that spot. Obviously a little bit of recency bias there.

607
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: You can make a case for either guy, but it's

608
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: hard to argue against the Super Bowl um in terms

609
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: of building that all time team. But it was it

610
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: was kind of funny that debate was taking place over

611
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: the last week because you guys mentioned Joe Flack. I

612
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: don't know anybody that has kids. It happened the same

613
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: to my son because he was big Joe Flacco fan.

614
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's like when you throw something, he's like,

615
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: oh Flack, he starts throwing stuff. So the transition, I

616
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to you guys, by the transition

617
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: for a kid from he was speix year old by

618
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: the time from Flacco to Lamar, he couldn't understand why.

619
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: And I remember the draft when uh, the you know,

620
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: the draft party they did in Baltimore, and it was

621
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was gonna be one of the speakers there,

622
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: and he was like asking for still asking for Joe Flacco,

623
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: and it was hard to make him understand, and he

624
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: was warning his number five jersey. But it just took

625
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: a little moment to see him, you know, playing um

626
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: and he just fell in love until he asked the

627
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: jersey because he didn't want to get all of the jersey.

628
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: So it was hard to get him, you know, explain

629
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: a five year old kid that Flack was no longer

630
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: than the team and he was asking questions why, why why?

631
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: But now he is a huge Lamar Jackson fan. So

632
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that happened to you guys. Well,

633
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: I I can tell you that for a lot of people,

634
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: there may have been a bit of hesitation to kids

635
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: are not or adults. You know, you're kind of loyal

636
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: to a guy for so long. You've spent so many

637
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: times arguing against your buddies about who's a good quarterback,

638
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: who's not and all that, and so for a lot

639
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: of fans, they defended Facco for so many years and

640
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: then so it's a little bit difficult transition. But then

641
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: when Lamargo is fourteen and two and he wins the MVP,

642
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: I think it makes a little bit easier to make

643
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: that transition and he's making highlight and all that. Well,

644
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: speaking of kids, the hardest is my four year old. Uh.

645
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 1: She likes to troll me by telling me she's a

646
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 1: Steelers fan all the time. She always she says no, no, no,

647
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: I root for the Steelers, and then it gives me

648
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: this look and I'm like, yeah, all right, so I

649
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: think I I I give her enough stiff arms to,

650
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: you know, make her try to reconsider that. My son

651
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Ryan in Winnipeg, he has four kids and all four

652
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: of them have their jerseys and they're all hyped up

653
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: for the game. It's really cool to see nice. That's cool.

654
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: Do you think. Yeah, I can't make the team. But

655
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: let me tell you who I think she'll make the

656
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: team that even though the back is full, I still

657
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: want Bronson Rochester or something you call. And the last

658
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: time I can't pronounce that Bronson the full back. Yeah,

659
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: what's our guy here? We had him on Garrett That's right.

660
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: I want him to make that team. You just love

661
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: that you loved him on the podcast. I love him

662
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: on the podcast and then he's highlights like he's like,

663
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's like a caterpillar. He just uh,

664
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: he just take off for everything that is in front

665
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: of him. So even if they have to consider him

666
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: as a tight end and put for him to make

667
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: it thin and see him, I want them to do

668
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: everything so that he makes the team. Yeah. Well he

669
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna have his work cut out for

670
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: him because it's a tough He's in the backfield that's crowded. Um,

671
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, he asked the question about the running backs,

672
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: is already gonna before running back, so uh so it's

673
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 1: gonna be bit of a crowded position there. But he's

674
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: got a shot. But you forgot about one player that

675
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: can sometimes take that position is Patrick Ricard is one

676
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: of my favorites. Yeah, it's one of those that because

677
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: he can take the ball and do the same you know,

678
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: the foolback is one of the ones could probably be

679
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: in the same you know, same team of running backs.

680
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, that's why I say maybe say

681
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: tight end. I think runs does look faster. I don't

682
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: think he's as powerful as Recard. He's not like a

683
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: former d lineman, but he does look a little faster

684
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: than Recard. No, no hate, non Patrick. I'm just saying

685
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, this is what always happens.

686
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: If we get somebody on the podcast and U then

687
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: also you want to have a team with all ninety

688
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: guys on it, and you do have to cut down

689
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: the fifty three. At some point, you do have to

690
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: cut down fifty three. But once you have someone on

691
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: the podcast and you kind of feel loyal to him,

692
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: so you're like Rex Steiner, he's gotta be on the team.

693
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: Tyler Hotley, Tyler hungry, undrafted quarterback, gotta be on team.

694
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: We gotta you gotta have five quarterbacks. You gotta have

695
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks. It's not it's not my job to cut him,

696
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, so I just get to keep them all

697
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 1: my job. Yeah. Again, Sorry, this is an season. Maybe

698
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: it hadds more players since they could be and not

699
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: knowing if something's gonna happened. Maybe the rooster is gonna

700
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: be bigger this season. It could be. Yeah, I think

701
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: that's a good point. That's a good point. Yeah, it's

702
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: just like this love affair that like when you see

703
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: a player's name that like right below your team, like

704
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: it'll see Baltimore Ravens and then you just read his

705
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: name on there and automatically, like sometimes before we even

706
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: see him, we're like, oh, I love this guy, you know,

707
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: just because because he was part of your team even

708
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 1: for like a day, Like totally totally Martin, go ahead, Yeah,

709
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: how do you see the situation at the right guy?

710
00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: Because my my biggest field, besides having a NFL season,

711
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: it's the lost of of Yander. Um, so how do

712
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: you see that competition? Yeah, I think at the end

713
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: of the day, it's gonna be flucker just from an

714
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: experienced standpoint, um, you know, not with the Ravens, but

715
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: just NFL experience, because I think that it's gonna be

716
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: tough for for rookies to come in and contribute a

717
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: lot immediately, given that they've missed so much time this offseason.

718
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: I think it already three kind of talks about it

719
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: in our last podcast. I think it really puts you

720
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: behind the eight ball. There's just no way to make

721
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: up for that lost practice time. And like you know,

722
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: we've we see it when when guys come in from

723
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: rookie camp, you're often like just you know, like you

724
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: got a long way to go, you know, and then

725
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: by the time training camp and you're like, wow, this

726
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: this guy is ready to contribute. Well, now these guys

727
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: are really starting with rookie minicamp kind of. I mean,

728
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 1: they're further ahead in their playbooks or should be. But

729
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: I just think it's a lot to ask Tyree Phillips

730
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: to step in at the right guard spot or Ben

731
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 1: Bretticon's to step in at right guard. I mean, maybe McCarry.

732
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, if Scura is healthy and can be your

733
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: starting center, then maybe Patrick McCarry is an option that

734
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't talking about, is as a

735
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: right guard. But at the end of the day, I

736
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: think it's probably gonna be flukor just because he's played

737
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: the position for so long, he's massive, he's good. Um,

738
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: so I think that as long as he's in good

739
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: enough physical shape uh and and does well in training camp,

740
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: then he'll probably be the guy. Yeah. And if you

741
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: put him out there next to Orlando Round, those are

742
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: two big conies on the right side of that line

743
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: that can just collapse a defensive front. So look, no

744
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 1: one's gonna be yonda So I agree with you Martin

745
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: that that's a huge loss call of fame caliber player.

746
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 1: So like whoever it is, it's it's gonna be possible

747
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: to replace what he everything that Yonda did, but it's

748
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: also an unfair expectation. So you just have to know

749
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: that going in that it's gonna be a tough kind

750
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: of an uphill climb in that regard um. But I

751
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: think Fluker is a good player um and he's got

752
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of potential um to come in and kind

753
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: of solidify that spot. Yeah, I gotta I gotta say

754
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: one thing. We gotta thank all of our listeners and

755
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Joge you especially all of our listeners from Mexico and

756
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: those who consumer content from Mexico, because Garrett correct me

757
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, is it outside of Baltimore we have

758
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: the most fans in Mexico. We have a huge amount

759
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: of Mexico City. You know, like if you look at

760
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: like our number of Facebook followers for example, a huge

761
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: number in Mexico City and then also a number of

762
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: different cities around Mexico. So there's a very loyal is it.

763
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,680

788
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you about this. I read that you

789
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: took some heat for comparing Lamar Jackson to Linel Messi.

790
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Yeah? Yeah, the guy went on the

791
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: Multimore's son. They were like, um, you know, he was

792
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: asking me questions. And when I was when I was

793
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: doing the broadcast in two thousand and eighteen with Joe

794
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: Flacco was completely different. But when I started with Lamar,

795
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: I remember the first even the first game was the

796
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Whole of Fame and remember when uh and it was

797
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: ray Lewis game right, um Canton. So I'm like, oh

798
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: my god, this is gonna be a friend. When I

799
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: when I started broadcasting Lamar and just looking at the

800
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: quick feed running around, I'm like, oh my god, this

801
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: guy is gonna give me some heat. And on the broadcast,

802
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: and that was my first comment when he said what

803
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: do you think about Lamar? I said, it's comparing in

804
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: soccer world like Leo Messi. He was like, oh really

805
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: so and then people started like, oh, you can't compare

806
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: like that, it's not the same. I'm like, it's not

807
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: the same, it's even better. I started like talking about it,

808
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: and then he was laughing. He's actually this, there's a

809
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: really good comparison because he's the best in the world

810
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: right now. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, Lamara to Lamar,

811
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: he's the best in the world. So I was going

812
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: back and forth. But um, yeah, I got some comments

813
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: about it and saying no, you can't compare. And you

814
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: know soccer fans, I'm a huge soccer fan. I know

815
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: Gustavo also, but um comparing Lamar Jackson as the best

816
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: in the world, I think it was the fair comparison.

817
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 1: If you know, if you like soccer, it's not fair, dude,

818
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: because because look, Messy doesn't win championships outside of Spain.

819
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: You know, he's only like on Barcelona. But when it

820
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: came time for Argentina ever left the Cup, he didn't

821
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: do it. Ronaldo another with a good that's a good going. Yeah,

822
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: that's what I'm like. I'm like, I'm like, wait a minute,

823
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: you can't compare it to Messy. Do it to Ronaldo?

824
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: Do it to play or the original Ronaldo from Brazil

825
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 1: but not messy, like More is gonna get that championship,

826
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: get that championship this year, and then will be Ronaldo exactly,

827
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, And I think, um, do Martapecco. Uh, he's

828
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: also a soccer fan and you to where his jersey

829
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: in the locker room of Giovanni do Santos and he

830
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: is like a really Mexican and I'm sorry, yes, yes,

831
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: yes and Mexico. Yes. So he was really, um, super

832
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: fan of of the soccer players in in in Mexico

833
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: and he likes football, and so he was saying all

834
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: the time. When he sees us, he said, hey, what's

835
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: that Carnalis. Yeah. Yeah, Tao was really fun to hang

836
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 1: around with last year in the locker room. Yeah, it's

837
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: very interesting how the Baltimore players they are very inclusive.

838
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: They make our Hispanish and Latino community to feel part

839
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: of of them. They're part of we are part of

Speaker 1: She's like, do you want to interview mac Shirley And

844
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling her in Spanish. I was like I'm not

845
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: sure if he's even gonna play. And he heard me

846
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: say that, he was like Spanish. I was like, oh,

847
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: that was about your Spanish heritage, you know, like it

848
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 1: was his mom is very fluent in Spanish, and like,

Speaker 1: of course taught him his mother is Mexican. His mother

850
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: is Mexican, and so what was always saying that and

851
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: he started talking to us in the Spanish. My dread,

852
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:21,799

857
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,560

859
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: for fans, you don't know. Tucker had a tradition last

860
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: year when they would close the locker room to reporters,

861
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: Tucker would start heckling us basically as he went out

862
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: the door, and he would use like this long pipe

863
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 1: that used to roll your muscles, and he was like

864
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: use it like a Viking horny. Go that's just crowned

865
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: him up. Get him out. Of it, you know, it was.

866
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: It kind of became a thing. Yeah, we have a

867
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: few Spanish speakers on the team. I feel like to

868
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: write like Mark Andrews, Oh no, no, let me. This

869
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: is a fun fact when one time if um is

870
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: in my Instagram as well, we interview some of the

871
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: players and we asked, uh, justin talker to say, oh

872
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: that's way justin't talking. He scoot you Ravens and he

873
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,879
Speaker 1: has the perfect r better than his badge speaker. And

874
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: this is a fun thing. Uh. Tony Jefferson's next to

875
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: him and he heard him. He's like, what what did

876
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: you do in your lips? He's like, nothing, I just Ravens.

877
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: So he said, Ravens like that and he said, oh

878
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 1: my my wife was perto Rica. She doesn't even do that.

879
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: And he's like, I learned, especially in high school. But

880
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: he's Spanish is really good. And sometimes when Heman and

881
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: Stabar interviewed him, Um he when he asked he may

882
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: ask the questions in Spanish for our listeners and then

883
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 1: she translate them. She don't even need the translation, he responds.

884
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: He responds back in Spanish. So he's one of the

885
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: best Spanish speakers on the team. That's great and also

886
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: do that jus and also uh, he likes to try

887
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: to speak Spanish. He was trying to say happy birthday.

888
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: Also Lamar Jackson. We were singing happy birthday to him

889
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: in the Spanish. Were having the opportunity. And who was

890
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: next to him, Orlando Brown playing with the with Lemar's name,

891
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 1: and and so it was everything turns in. Uh, I

892
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: was feeling like in Latin America every time it's like

893
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: a big laugh. We were singing and and I really

894
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: enjoy and I think that's life in Mexico and in

895
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:06,479
Speaker 1: different parts of Latin America and in Europe too because

896
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: we have a Spain there. The love of the Baltimore Ravens.

897
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: It's amazing how there is a lot of people who's

898
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: playing football and whose idols is a son of the

899
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: players of the Baltimore Ravens. Mm hmm. We're gonna have

900
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: to wrap it up soon, but we want to get

901
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: a couple more questions. If you guys have Martin, did

902
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: you ever thought there? No, it's just it's the greatest

903
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: is to her here the Mexican highlights, like I remember

904
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: one with the Akuan Bold It's it's so good. Oh yeah,

905
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: like when you hear the highlight the calls in Spanish. Yeah,

906
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: I know, that's like one of my favorite things. I

907
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: mean here, it's the best, you know, after like a

908
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: big player. I think we may have used it after

909
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: tuckers Um game winner against the forty niners this year.

910
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: We may have done something similar to what we did

911
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: with the mostly player, And uh, it is really awesome

912
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: to compare that. It's like after a big play. And

913
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,240
Speaker 1: Jerry Sandusky does a great jobs the English speaking broadcast,

914
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: but then we're like, you gotta hear the Spanish speaking broadcast.

915
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: That just brings it to a new level. So, uh,

916
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: you guys do a fantastic job and I would look

917
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: forward to hearing those whenever we give a chance. I

918
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: have a question for you, for Gareth and and and

919
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: Ryan by just say go that. You're ready? Wait, what

920
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,400
Speaker 1: what is going? Is that? Like? Touchdown? What is that?

921
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: Say it one more time? Say it one more time?

922
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: You have to say go that? Okay, alright, alright now

923
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: now my big one of my biggest mistakes in life

924
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: mistaken German in high school, which is a huge mistake.

925
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: But I should have gone Spanish. But I'll give it

926
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: a shot. All right, here we go. I didn't play soccer,

927
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: so I got a little bit kind I kind of

928
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: want to put the shirt over the head, you know,

929
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: do that move. But I know it was with Italian.

930
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: I am half Italian, I am half Italian. I had

931
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: a question for you guys. Yeah, yeah, I saw a

932
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 1: scouting reports, uh saying that James Prochet could quickly be

933
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: the best receiver on the team. How do you guys

934
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: see him making an immediate impact where it's the return

935
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: game or out of the slot or the wild up position, Like,

936
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 1: where do you guys see him fitting in? Yeah, I

937
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 1: mean I think it would be a stretch to say

938
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the west wide receiver on the team. Um,

939
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: But I mean I think that I like the kid

940
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean he's tough, got really good hands.

941
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: I think he's probably got some sneaky speed, you know,

942
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: if he didn't I believe he didn't run the forty Um,

943
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: but he turned on the tape and guy moves well.

944
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: Argie three said he's he's gonna surprise people with his feed.

945
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: What I'm really ticked off about is he was one

946
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: of the guys I wanted to take in my mock draft,

947
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: and I just passed on him, and I'm really kind

948
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: of upset with about myself. How did you do in

949
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, yeah, let's move on. Yeah, I mean,

950
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: I think I think perche In could development to somebody.

951
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,959
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be. I think he's definitely gonna

952
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: be the returner this year. I'll be shocked if he's

953
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: not the return er because they've been looking for for

954
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: somebody for years now. Uh. And then I think we'll see,

955
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, eventually Willie sneeds gonna move on,

956
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: you know, and and they're gonna he's gonna get a shot.

957
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: He and Duvernet. So I think that, uh, proche Prochet

958
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: could be kind of a gem, a hidden gem a

959
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, he's one of the most productive

960
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: receivers INNY in college football. Last year. I think he

961
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: led the nation and catches that's not no been, you

962
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: know or something like that. Yeah, yeah, you didn't have

963
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: a drop? Yeah yeah, Yeah. I think I think you

964
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: gotta give him time. I think that's the main thing. Like,

965
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how much to expect from him on

966
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: offense right away or even maybe his his entire rookie

967
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: year how much you know, like he could carve out

968
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: a role. But um, I agree with you Ryan that

969
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: if he could definitely make any media impact as a returner. Um,

970
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: I just have a question. Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, how

971
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: are you? How is your game? They look like like

972
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: home and away game. Sure, so for home games, let's

973
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: just go from a typical year, because no one knows

974
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: what this year is gonna look like. But in a

975
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: typical year, for home games, we're both at the game.

976
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: We sit next to each other in the press box. Um,

977
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: you know, so we are. Our duties are a little

978
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: bit different before the game and run around getting video

979
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: of guys coming into the building and on the field

980
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: warming up and things like that. But for the game,

981
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: for the game, I'm checking my fantasy lineup, making any

982
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: last Yeah, make sure for a one o'clock game. Man

983
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: gets to the stadium around one fifteen. You know, he

984
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: waits until the wait through the first quarter when he

985
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: needs time to take it with my line up. I

986
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: get there a little early. He gets he well, he

987
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: gets it. He gets there. He gets there at five,

988
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: goes to the cafeteria, grabs all the food he can

989
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: come hot dogs, hot dogs down. I get to the

990
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: stadium around eight thirty in the morning, seven thirty in

991
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: the morning. I gotta keep us, you know, keep keep

992
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: things busy. I never give you that. You get the

993
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: last one. One thing I never missed is the nachos.

994
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: The nachos between the first and seven quarter. I've never

995
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: missed it as my entire time at the Ravens. Yeah,

996
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: really good. Garre and I are usually doing like little

997
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: fist pumps under the desk, like like we've been sitting

998
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: next to each other now for gosh, I mean offices

999
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: for what nine years, nine years? Nine years. We used

1000
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: to share it. We used to share basically an oversized

1001
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: closet and we were both in that office. And uh,

1002
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: we've moved up, but our distance from each other hasn't

1003
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: changed very much. Um, but so we kind of we've

1004
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: we've gone through a lot and we share a lot

1005
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: on game days. We're two of the more animated people.

1006
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: I would say in the press box, you're supposed to

1007
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of keep it quiet in the press fox, so

1008
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: a lot of way you guys can you guys can

1009
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 1: have all the excitement there and where the writers sit

1010
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: like it's supposed to be quiet. But Garrett I we're

1011
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of you know, yeah, a lot of that, A

1012
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: lot of that, a little of that action. Yeah, or

1013
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: or if it's if it plays isn't going well, it's

1014
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 1: the opposite. So when I need a baseball time, I'm

1015
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: going through the press. Sometimes I'm like, oh this shill here,

1016
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, question, I know Ryan, he plays uh football

1017
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: with this, I see the game in the back. Yeah.

1018
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: And also about but who are you playing Madden the

1019
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 1: cose now, Lamary Lamari Jackson. He was making some comments

1020
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: about his reading in Madden, and we have our kids

1021
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: brown that he's been a champion in in Maddin. But

1022
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: my question is for for both of you. Uh. I

1023
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: used to play a lot of Madden in my youth

1024
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: and in college when I had it was before kids.

1025
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: So once I had kids, I haven't picked up a

1026
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: remote control since then. I I don't. I actually haven't

1027
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: played much Man either, But I enjoy the bad and

1028
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: stuff like I enjoy um, like watching how good Hollywood

1029
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: is at it. But I haven't played Madden in years,

1030
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: probably since probably with you, probably since college. I love

1031
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: how he plays with himself in the World Cup formation, yes,

1032
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: yes that he he he went he won against his

1033
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: Louve Dog, I mean dog stopped playing seeing he lost

1034
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: against the Marquis Brown. Yeah, yeah, yes, used to be

1035
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: on twitch and everywhere until that loss. But hard, hard. Yeah.

1036
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: I like how Marcus Brown he was playing Madden, but

1037
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: now he's working. Also he tis he has time to

1038
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: play Madden, but also he has time to going outside

1039
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: and making an amazing workout. You can, I can see

1040
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 1: the difference. I don't know it's the camera of the picture,

1041
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: but looking physical difference. Yeah, I think Hollywood is gonna

1042
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: be if you guys, you have heard me before on

1043
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: the podcast talk about how I think he's going to

1044
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: be a stud this year. He's gonna be a store

1045
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: for a really big season. Yeah, I think he's gonna

1046
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: be everybody wants criticized that we don't have. We lost

1047
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: because we didn't have good wide receivers. But I think, um,

1048
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: after they lost, I think Marquees Brown he's gonna be

1049
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: one one of the persons who's gonna make like a

1050
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: huge difference in these days. I don't know what do

1051
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: you think? I agree? Yeah, also had a really good

1052
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: game against the Titans. Yeah. That one hander, that the

1053
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: one hand is insane. You can't underestimate the value of

1054
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line, and I think it will be interesting

1055
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: to see what what Flucker does. Um, there's a really

1056
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: great interview. I think it was you Ryan and Cliff

1057
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: a long interview with the with Flucker and he seems

1058
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: like such a rave into me. He's a high character

1059
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: by it was a great interview to watch. Thank you,

1060
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Thank you appreciate that. Yeah, I like DJ and every

1061
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: everybody you know, everywhere he's been kind of says, oh,

1062
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: you're getting a great guy, Like he's just a good dude. Um,

1063
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna fit in really well here. Yeah.

1064
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,320
