But before we get gone, yes, let's start 54 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: with Monday Night football, A big game for the Colts 55 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: and Titans. Every first free running from the forty on 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the sideline, the forty footways to the fifty cuts inside 57 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: Printon Tack, the forty puming on Thistle thirty cuts to 58 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: them in on the field to the ten five gallup 59 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: again touchdown touchdown. Henry seventy two yard gallup. Yes, Kevin 60 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: Harlan with the call, that's Westwood one. Derrick Henry Ice 61 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: the game for the Tennessee Titoons, and Marcus Mariotte also 62 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: threw a fifty three yard touchdown past the Taiwan Taylor 63 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: with five twenty nine left to keep playing the game. 64 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: The Titans beat the Colts thirty six to twenty two, 65 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: overcoming a slow start in Monday night. That ends what 66 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: had been in eleven game losing streak Greg Rosenthal for 67 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the Titans against the Colts, which is really surprising because 68 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: the Cults have not been a Juggernau for a couple 69 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: of years. That's a long. That's a long. It has continued, 70 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: but now it is over. The Titans get a win 71 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: they need, and they get a performance from Marcus Mariota. 72 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people were calling goody. It was this 73 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: is what you want to see out of your young 74 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: quarterback plane, through an injury plane, through limitations. Uh, if 75 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: you missed the telecast, John Gruden informed you roughly seventy 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: nine different times that he couldn't leave the pocket, that 77 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: he has to just win this game from the pocket. 78 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: But it was an impressive performance. You know, there was 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: a pick six, there were some inconsistencies early, but he 80 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: played his very best in the fourth quarter. They were 81 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: down nineteen nine in this game in Mariota made a 82 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: lot of nice passes, had very good pass protection, and 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: it's a win. As he gets healthier and in the 84 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: Titans hope this team gets a little more consistent on 85 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: defense that they could look back on and think like, 86 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: we needed that win. We could not fall two and 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: four losing at home to the Jacoby Brissette Colts. Yeah, 88 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: and it locks up the a f C. South, not unpredictably, 89 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: three teams at three and three and the Cults at 90 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,239 Speaker 1: two and for a forest of total mediocrity. Uh, leaving 91 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: me wondering what the meaning of the game was last night. Ultimately, 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: but I will say this, and it's echoes what you tweeted, 93 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: But it's also what we talked about on this podcast 94 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: many times. There already is a quarterback issue in this league. 95 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: There's already too many crappy quarterbacks often squaring off against 96 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: each other week to week. We do not need Jacoby 97 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: Brissette being sent into the shadows. It's not the guy 98 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: we need being taken out of our life right now. 99 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: He's fun to watch. Well, I believe the good news 100 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: is and and someone can correct me on this, but 101 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: he's been in the league what three years now, so 102 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: he's not going to be second year. This is only 103 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: a second alright, So he's locked into a rookie contract. 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: I take that back, So he could go into mothballs 105 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: for two years potentially, and given that angel luck his 106 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: head shoulder problems with just one of the worst problems 107 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: with quiring back could have. It would behoove the cults 108 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: that keep him in the building. And I love the 109 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: use of baby. Know what I was noticing in this game. 110 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Obviously Derrick Henry that was his first one yard game, 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: and obviously two yard touchdown helped. But how many times 112 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: did Jon Gruden say exotic smash mouth during this game? 113 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Everything I heard was exotic, exotic, exotic. They really haven't 114 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: been this season, no, and obviously they weren't in this game. 115 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: But it worked and Taiwan Taylor the touchdown that he had. 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: I loved that the Titans threw some shade at them 117 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: because I guess John Gruden had said that he was 118 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: a gimmicky player and that wasn't awesome. Play. Yeah, it 119 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: was a blown coverage and the Colts defense is remarkable 120 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: and how it can collapse in the fourth quarter games. 121 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: They have been outscored in the fourth quarter of games 122 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: this year, five to twenty two. I mean, this was 123 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: a very entertaining game. It's it helps that it was 124 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: had modest, very modest expectations going in, but there weren't any. 125 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: There was literally not a punt in the first half. 126 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: It was back and forth. Titans had to make a comeback. 127 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: But for as fun as Jacoby Brissette was in the 128 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: first half, you know, it needs to be mentioned that 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: Dick Lebo changed up what he was doing defensively in 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: the second half and Brissette and the Colts offense was 131 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: basically a nightmare. This would have been a blowout if 132 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: not for a pick six by the Colts defense to 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: start that second half. They could not move the ball. 134 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: They made a lot of mistakes and you started to see, Okay, 135 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: this is a young quarterback that's still gonna be improving 136 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: as he goes. He's fun fun to watch. Maybe they 137 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: should have used Marlon Mack a little bit more. That 138 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: was a fair critique I thought coming out of that 139 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: game that that this is the most exciting running back 140 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: you have right now. No offense to Frank Gore, and 141 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: he was got two carries, right But the reason he 142 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: was bench was because he got Mariota killed. I mean, 143 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: he got Brissette killed a couple of plays that they 144 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: left him in and he didn't understand the protection scheme. 145 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: He got Brissette killed, and once the pressure started getting 146 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: the Brissett in the second I mean, I don't trust 147 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: either of these teams long term. I mean, obviously the 148 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: Colts I don't trust, but even the Titans because there's 149 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: no defense, there's no pass rush, and there's not a 150 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: good secondary and in the end, I don't think you're 151 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: gonna go anywhere without any pass rush. Yeah. One of 152 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: the reasons Greg, I know you love your boy Frank 153 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: Gore is that he is a guy that coaches love 154 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: because you know he's gonna be healthy and on the 155 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: field and he's gonna help you in all phases, including 156 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: protecting your quarterback. Max not there yet. He ran five 157 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: yards per carry, So the running game was hardly the 158 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: Colts problem. They were moving the ball in the first half. 159 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: It was it was in the second half and that 160 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: they just could not throw the ball. A Jack Toyle 161 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: catch the ball? Please? Yeah, Jack Doyle, you gotta help 162 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: you gotta help out invisible in this game, he if 163 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: you look at his home road splits he is. He 164 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: disappears on the road. And he did it again with 165 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: one catch in this game. And you know, a Tytoons 166 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: fan came at me on Twitter is like, I'm waiting Dan, 167 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: like I'm going to give you a ton of credit 168 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: for winning a primetime home game against Jake Brisket and 169 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: the Colts. Let's calm down. You got you got a 170 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: lot of ocean to boil before I respect you. That's fair. 171 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: But it really was a great fourth quarter for Mariota 172 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: six or six for a hundred three yards, and I 173 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: love it was such a Marcus Mariota moment when he 174 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: dropped that touchdown to Taylor, which was on a pone coverage. 175 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Immediately afterwards, he sees his off offensive lineman and a 176 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: Cults I mean a Titans offensive lineman and a Cults 177 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: defensive lineman kind of getting into it after the play 178 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: because they hit the Colts for a late hit and Mariota, 179 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: instead of celebrating the touchdown, immediately gets in his offensive 180 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: lineman's face pushes him away like trying to prevent a penalty, 181 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: like in that moment for like a young player to 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: be that cam. That's it's impressive. That guy's got some maturity. 183 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: He's good boys. I think he got a haircut too. 184 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: His hair looked a little different. He did get a haircut. 185 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: Very absolutely, very good. There's your Monday night recap, including 186 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: a haircut update in a big spot. Let's move on 187 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: and do o high lens behind the glass the great 188 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: Lindsay Fulton going, how things going so far, Lindsay.

I don't want to 195 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: man splain this too much, but I do want to 196 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: say that Lindsay is our first ever full time producer, 197 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: and that's a big deal for our podcast. We've never 198 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: had a full time producer, so we're so excited to 199 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: have her. Lindsay. We said it on Sunday. I'll say 200 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: it again, welcome aboard. I'm just really excited I see 201 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: that as as the iPad falls down. Let's do some news. 202 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: I used to do a little fun like you know, 203 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: sound vignetto right before that. Allowed, that's done too, that's done. 204 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: It's gone. All right, it's over before they're gonna take 205 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: each of us away one by one and it'll just 206 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: be Mark talking politics. That will be what the show 207 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: ends up as. All right, let's do some news. We'll 208 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: start with the Minnesota Vikings. Oh. You never wanna get 209 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: pumped up about, you know, some getting injured. But the 210 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: Vikings fan and the Vikings in general realize that their 211 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: season just got into a much more optimistic place with 212 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers knocked out for the year. And uh to 213 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: add to that, Uh for the Vikings and and and 214 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: their hopes this season, Teddy Bridgewater will soon hit the 215 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: practice field over a year after that weird, bizarre, gruesome 216 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: knee injury in practice right before the start of the season. Uh. 217 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: You made you think if he'd be done with football, 218 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: it was that bad an injury. Uh. He has now 219 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: been cleared uh to begin practicing by a doctor. According 220 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: to rap Sheet. Rap Report added that Bridgewater is expected 221 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: to be activated by the week by the Vikings this 222 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: week or next um. Mike Zimmer had this to say, No, 223 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: he won't come off the pub list. He's going to practice, 224 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: but he has twenty one days and he'll stay on 225 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: the pub list until he's ready to play. Colleen Bridgewaters 226 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: twenty four. Uh, easy to forget this now, but he 227 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: was a former first round draft pick and there's still 228 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: a chance that he could be have a big role 229 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: in this team. Of case Keenum comes down to Earth 230 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: and Sam Bradford can't get back in the field. Yeah, 231 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I guess the timing works out for 232 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: Bridgewater that the Vikings are in this situation right now. 233 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: And it's nice because you look at so many teams 234 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: who they don't have a lot of options, and so 235 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: it seems like the Vikings obviously have a ton of 236 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: options now. But the fact that he has come back 237 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: from this injury, that was so gruesome, As you said, 238 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, people were talking all sorts of stuff about 239 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: him just being able to do regular things again, let 240 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: alone play football. And I know that he's been in 241 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: all of their meetings for the last fourteen months. He's 242 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: caught up on the playbook, that's what the team said, 243 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: and that he gets the game script every week, so 244 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: he he knows what's going on with the team and 245 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: he's involved. So I think it's great for them if 246 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: they have this option. Timing is is interesting too, because 247 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: you have the Ravens followed by the Browns in London, 248 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: so you could get by with any of your quarterbacks, 249 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: probably to knock out Cleveland in London, and then you 250 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: have a bye week, so Teddy Bridgewater kind of rolls 251 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: in at the right time. Potentially, it makes this Viking 252 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: season and team a lot more intriguing because as as 253 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: good as case Keen has played, I think you do 254 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: expect him to come back there. I think we started 255 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: to see that against the Packers certainly wasn't his best 256 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: game of the season. And there's been a lot of 257 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: injuries and a lot of you know, there hasn't you know, 258 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: been some setbacks for the NFL. Let's say this season, 259 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: I would forgive a lot. What are you talking about. 260 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: The scorpion dropped. The scorpion dropped. That was big. If 261 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: this season ended with Teddy Bridgewater starting a home Super 262 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: Bowl Mines. I mean, I know that's kind of that's 263 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: suiting for the moon here, but that I would that 264 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: would be a fun storyline to get behind what I'd 265 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: boil that ocean. That's the way to you know, put 266 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: expectations at the right place for it's a long shot, 267 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: but we don't even know if he's coming back. By 268 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the way, they get three weeks to decide whether they can, 269 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: they expect it, but it's still not even limp. And 270 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: I think Case Keenum, to be clear, if he continues 271 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: at this level, teddy Bridge Water is not going to 272 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: start until their offense is struggling more. In case Keenum 273 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: is struggling more, I would expect that to happen eventually, 274 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: but I don't think they're immediately just going to replace 275 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Case Keenum. If he's well, that's the great thing. You 276 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: don't have some absolute nightmare taking what is this white 277 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: playoff type team from week to week. You've got other options. 278 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: You need to rush him like you couldn't rush him anyways. 279 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: You can ride Keenum, I would say, maybe to the 280 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: conference championship. Then you put in Bridgewater. He wins that 281 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: and he starts the super Alright, Greg, I mean I 282 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: think everyone's rooting for Teddy Bridgewater. I just don't want 283 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: you to put all the eggs in this basket and 284 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: be disappointed if it doesn't happen. That's all more because 285 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: people aren't even putting eggs in baskets anymore. So bat 286 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: waste of your time in modern day America. What about 287 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: Eastern Yes, save for the religion podcast Eastern Bound, that 288 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: situation is a little different. I stand corrected. People. Let's 289 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: move on and talk about Um, what do you want 290 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: to talk about. Let's talk about some injury stuff. Yeah, 291 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: we'll start with Jamis Winston. Uh two bucks items in 292 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: the news today, but we'll start with Winston, who while 293 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers got thrown to the turf and broke his 294 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: collar bone, Winston was luckier when he got thrown down. 295 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: He only suffered an a C joint spray sprain in 296 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: his throwing shoulder. He's regarded as day to day, and 297 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: rap Sheet reported it's an injury. Uh the QB could 298 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: play with moving forward. Um, Winston said Sunday he expects 299 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: to play next week against the Bills. Mark. Um, that's 300 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: good here. It's much better than Roger's type dia diagnosis. 301 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: But who knows how he's gonna how this will affect 302 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: his arm strength and all that. It's still remains to 303 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: me determined how serious this injury is. Yeah, it's a 304 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: messy development for a team that has been really weird 305 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: this season. Frankly fitz Fitzpatrick. I understand that Ryan Fitzpatrick 306 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: melted down in the preseason, but he basically almost generated 307 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: one of the great comebacks last week. It fell short. 308 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: But he can move the ball. He can do I 309 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: think right now, as much as we've seen from Winston, 310 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's an equal, but Winston has 311 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: not been a huge asset to Tampa Bay this season. No. 312 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: I mean even just the game against the um the 313 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: Patriots when he was overthrowing guys there was he was 314 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: not communicating well with his receivers, him and O. J. 315 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: Howard at the end of the game. But Winston, he's 316 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: been reliable in terms of staying healthy and being starting games. 317 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: He started thirty seven games straight. So if he does 318 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: miss this, yeah, I think that that might throw a 319 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: lot of people off, a lot of the players off 320 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: on why else do you get Ryan Fitzpatrick, who they 321 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: paid pretty good money to be a backup. And we 322 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: know Fitzpatrick's limitations, but he could also he he checks 323 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the most important boxes of backup. A guy you could 324 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: turn a team over to for a few weeks and 325 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: he might even help you if he's hot. And I 326 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: think this might be a situation where they would have 327 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: to give a hard thought to whether to give Winston 328 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: a little blow here. Yeah if he if he's not right, 329 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: you don't want to worry about him long term, including 330 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: just this season. Also, are worried a little bit about 331 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: this season falling too far behind now. Right now, the 332 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: NFC South has all within one game in the lost column. 333 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: But they're going to Buffalo this week. You know that 334 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: that's not an easy game. You don't want to go 335 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: two and four. And then you play the Panthers in 336 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: the Saints after that. These are big games. This is 337 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: a weird team. I mean, their fourth in the league 338 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: in yards, it's not like Jameis Winston wasn't moving the ball, 339 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: and their thirtieth on defense and yards allowed, so they 340 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: they I don't know what to think of the but 341 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: when I watched them on the streets, what defines them really? 342 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: I think they're not far away from being explosive on offense. 343 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: They've certainly moved the ball, but they just can't like 344 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: quite put it all together. He's given himself a pep talk, 345 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: like we know that for sure. He's listening to the 346 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: self improvement. In other injury news, Emmanuel Sanders a complete 347 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: lost night for the Broncos on Sunday against the Giants, 348 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: and at the end of the game they lost Sanders, 349 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: who sprained his ankle. Did not look good. He got 350 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: carded off. He looked in pain just being put on 351 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: the car and he wondered if that was a serious injury. Well, 352 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of in the middle. It's a week to 353 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: week sprained ankle. He will miss Sunday's game against the 354 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: Chargers um. In other Broncos news, Trevor Simeon had an 355 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: m R. I came back positive. He heard himself diving 356 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: on a pick six attempt. He'll be fine, it looks like, 357 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: but he will not have Sanders, and that's that's not good. 358 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: Greg Sanders is so valuable. He's Simeon's favorite target, and 359 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: the receivers after him are Benny Fowler and Sunshine Taylor. 360 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Sunshine Taylor, what about Cody Latimer. I mean I I 361 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: don't forget him. Greg Cody Latimer has been on that 362 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: team a long time and never get any plane time. 363 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: Another Elway draft pick. That's a tad suspicious Alright. Moving on, 364 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: the Raiders have Navarro Bowman on their team though, how 365 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: about that San Francisco forty Niners, of course, released the 366 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: veteran linebacker on Friday. Um he is, you know, obviously 367 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: he slowed down a little bit mark ever since he 368 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: suffered that horrible knee injury against the Seahawks in the 369 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of years back. Had become a suspect 370 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: pass coverage guy. But he could will help a team, 371 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: you would think, and the Raiders are banking on that, 372 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: so they signed him to a one year deal worth 373 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: three million dollars. Well why not, you need all the 374 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: help you can get on defense. He still can stop 375 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: the run. And I find it interesting that the Raiders 376 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: and forty Niners operate almost like teams from the nineteen forties, 377 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: where it's like, oh yeah, cut by San Francisco, Michael Crabtree, 378 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: come on up to Bowman coming up to Oakland. I 379 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: mean it's like there's been four or five guys that 380 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: Reggie Mackenzie has plucked away from the Niners. It's a 381 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: weird situation. I remember the forty Niners getting all worked 382 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: up and making a public statement that he wasn't on 383 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: the trade block when there was a report that he 384 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: was earlier this summer. I think that's kind of improven 385 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: that they weren't that interesting. I mean, I I pushed 386 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: back against I saw a lot of tweets of like, 387 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: why didn't our team sign Navarro Bowman, Like, you know, 388 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: we need to, Like there's a reason that they cut 389 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: a twenty nine year older's coming off a torn achilles. 390 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he came back from that injury in the 391 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: playoffs and started to look like the old Navarro and 392 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: then he tore his achilles, and so that the Raiders 393 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: need help because that they have a really poor linebacker position. 394 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not expecting miracles. This is a 395 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: bad dec Oh. They've lost four straight games too at 396 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: this point, so they're in trouble in their own division. 397 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 1: They have, they have major problems. I don't know how 398 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: much Navarro Bowman is going to help at this point. Too. 399 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: Might with a young group who's almost barely played football 400 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: at the NFL level, linebacker that you have a guy 401 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: who knows who used to be one of the best 402 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: linebackers in the league, but you're not gonna save them. 403 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: Here's something that um came out last week, but we 404 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to talk about it because the 405 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: timing of it all. But anyway, the the Bucks moved 406 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: on from Nick Folk as we know, after he struggled 407 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: after replacing Robbioguyo. And the Bucks have a whole curse 408 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: going on that goes back a couple of years if 409 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: you really start digging into it, that they have had 410 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: they've struggled to have healthy kickers, effective kickers. Anyway, you 411 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: should cover this story bar on this show. I feel 412 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: like it's been a little under representing. It's like one 413 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: of those things like what makes our show special. If 414 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: you need a deep dive extended, like months long coverage 415 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: of the Bucks kicker situation, right right here, this is 416 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 1: where you go. Anyway, Pat Murray is now on the team. 417 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: He of course, um was. He used to be on 418 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: the team. He tore his a c L and got 419 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: replaced by I think Connor Barth or maybe correspondent one. Anyway, 420 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: so Murray sigms the team. He starts talking to the 421 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: local reporters and he tells Rick Stroud of the Tampa 422 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: Bay Times, I believe right, uh that he's been consulting 423 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: with a medium. Uh and uh, Mark, can you explain 424 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: to the audience who might not know what a medium is, Well, 425 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: it's a psychic basically, and there's a lot of varieties 426 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: of it is not a psychic. That is very medium 427 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: communicates with the dead. A medium serves as a medium 428 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: between the living and the souls that have passed on. 429 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: That makes the perfect sense, like exclaimed to have that 430 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: power too, but that but so now, so what what reportedly? 431 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: What dead individual is he attempting to reach to channel? 432 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: That's what they do. They This is what Rick Shroud had. 433 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: She she's k cares of the past that have been lost. 434 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: She's helped me tremendously with a lot of different things. 435 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: And she's helped me tremendously with a lot of different things. 436 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: And maybe it's just getting me to talk has helped me. 437 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: See that sounds more like a a psychologist. But I'd 438 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: like to know what dead figure you're attempting to write. 439 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: And the insurance doesn't cover in a medium, so he 440 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: might want to change his strategy. I mean getting stuff 441 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: off my chest and being able to really feel that 442 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: positive energy. So I guess, all right, I have medium 443 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: history myself. I have never I have never been to 444 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: a medium. But my mother UM has five sisters, I 445 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: have an older sister, and it is or was at 446 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: one time, UM a long running tradition that every year 447 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: all the girls, including my grandmother UM, would go to 448 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: this medium somewhere in Rockland County. Keith didn't go. Keith 449 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: sat it out, but I know, I think all the 450 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: all the men in the family was kind of just 451 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: like a shoulder shrug, like really okay, And they would 452 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: go and they would speak to UM. People in the 453 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: family have passed on, and they'd usually they'd come back 454 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 1: with stories about what the medium told them in terms 455 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: of predictions or feelings about the children. And it was 456 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: a whole thing in the Carson household. Does anyone else 457 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: have any medium story? They follow question, what did they 458 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: ever get bad news and come home and report bad news? 459 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: Or is it typically all positive? You're gonna find love, 460 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: your career is gonna bloom. This happened, Yeah, this happened 461 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: when I was younger. So I remember UM never hearing 462 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: bad news, but that doesn't mean it it didn't happen. 463 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: What I'll do to follow up on this story speak 464 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: with my mother personally and find out if there ever 465 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: was bad news. You think the a t N media 466 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: insider could get this information? I think, yeah, I could. 467 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: I could talk to about it. She probably wouldn't want 468 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: to talk about it's it's kind of a family thing. 469 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: But well, now it's out in the open. I will 470 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: I will get the information. I will be the medium 471 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: in this case and share it with you. Who would 472 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: you talk to if you went to a medium, who 473 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: would you want to connect with right now? I'd probably 474 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: have a good conversation with Tom Petty. That's a great one. 475 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: Listen to a lot of Petty right now. So I 476 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: talked to Petty. I feel like he's busy. He's like, yeah, 477 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of requests that they're doing literally nothing. Yeah. 478 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: Does anyone else have a medium story? The only one 479 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: I went to, like San Francisco, Yeah, it's not as evolved. 480 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: Like the Vesuvio Cafe is right in the middle of 481 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: like that whole area of San Francisco, tons of bars 482 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: and restaurants above it. There's a very famous psychic that 483 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: like the beat writers used to go to everyone way 484 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: back in the day, and the round two thousand four, 485 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: I went to one with my friend after we had 486 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: downed many many beers of vesuvio, and I went, the 487 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: psychic is gonna give us good news like they all do. 488 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: Psychic right, she goes up. My friend Mike got a 489 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: very I believe, a sort of a run of the mill. 490 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: You're young, there's a lot of promise for you. And 491 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: I went next, and all I remember her telling me 492 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: was that there was some sort of flaw, um like 493 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: a fatal flaw in my family line that was essentially 494 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: a curse, had been passed down from generation to generation 495 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: was now affecting me. And I thought, check out checks out. Yeah, 496 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: it does not check it. And I thought, how can 497 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: you tell me that? And then she wanted twenty bucks cash. 498 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: This is drunk special. You come up there a little 499 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: too sauce, and she buries you. Well. I said, I 500 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: am not paying you for that, because I don't I 501 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: need more. I went not, and she got very upset. 502 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: But it's like, I'm not paying you for that bit 503 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: of information. Detail. She did the reverse to me, you're 504 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: telling you. You're sending some guy out onto the street 505 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: that you suddenly have a family curse layered over you. 506 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't want to take sides 507 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: against the family here, Mark, But I probably paid this. 508 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: I probably paid her. I don't know. She is not 509 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: beholden to give you good news. You sit down with 510 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: her and she tells you your fortune. What is this 511 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: fatal flaw? Though she just told you there was very ago. 512 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: Seven beers and please so well, it's working for Patrick Murray. 513 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: He hasn't missed a kick all year. Yeah, he's killing 514 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: any medium talk. Don't even say for the Medium podcast. 515 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: We just did it. Yeah, yeah, alright, Micropot finally in 516 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: the news. Uh, Colleen, you are from the Philadelphia area, 517 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: I am um. And the Eagles fans are not happy. 518 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: They're five and one, but they're still not happy. They're 519 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: angry at referee referee Pete Morelli, whose crew flagged Philly 520 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: ten times for a hundred and twenty six yards uh 521 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: in their win over the Panthers, and they called only 522 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: one penalty for one yard against Carolina. I'm not saying 523 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: they have a case. I didn't study the tape, but 524 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: that is interesting uh And, according to Dave Zangaro of NBCs, 525 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: this is the first thank you. This is the time 526 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: in NFL history one team had over twenty penalty yards 527 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: while the other had fewer than ten. And so as 528 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: a result of that. Uh. There's a fan, an Eagles fan. 529 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: His name he has a first name, but I like 530 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: his last name so much. I bet, and I bet 531 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: this is what it goes on in his own life. 532 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: People only call him by his last name. A fan 533 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: named Phil Brick has started a change dot org petition 534 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: asking uh Rob Goodell to keep Morett Pete Morelli away 535 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: from Eagles games going forward, and it has wait for it, 536 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: sixty thousand signatures by Tuesday morning. The first sentence of 537 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: I won't read the entire Phil Brick screed, but it 538 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: says NFL referee Pete Morelli has a clear and statistically 539 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: obvious bias against the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh and he's sick 540 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: and tired of it. And Colleen, are you buying in? 541 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: Have you signed it? No? But I have it up 542 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: on my computer right now. And I was actually just 543 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: about to know why hosts like fourteen show for the 544 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: NFL not sign that I'm not I'm not. I'm not. 545 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: I mean, but I feel I kind of want to. 546 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: They've set up the computers in such a way that 547 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: when you sign it, your computer immediately explodes, races everything. Yeah, 548 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: I know, the smoke rise up and spells out you're fired. 549 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: That's so elaborate. I kind of just want to see it. 550 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: Maybe somebody else can do it for me. Uh yeah. 551 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: In a shocking turn of events, Eagles fans are not happy, 552 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: even though the team is actually winning right now, five 553 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: and one team in the league, and oh yeah, it's 554 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: a bit of hubris to think this is gonna work. 555 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm seeing I'm looking at the list and there is 556 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: a Connie Gonzalez. There is not stop it. But hey, 557 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: I love the creativity. This is great change dot org. 558 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: They have a lot of wonderful petitions going on for 559 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: a lot of great poses. You're reading an ad for 560 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: change It. It's definitely one of them. That's what's happening 561 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: in the news. Alright, let's talk Thursday night football preview, 562 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 1: which of course is sponsored by the Head and Shoulders 563 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: Shoulders of Greatness. I don't really know what that means. 564 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: Sounds good, but you can see your shoulders when you 565 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: use head and shoulders because they're not covered in Dan Dreff. 566 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: You know who that's good. You know who has great shoulders. 567 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: Fall of ninety one, Zack Morris, Oh my god, bring 568 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: this back. Youre going to bring up I think you're 569 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: going to bring up Shugarsion. How did that check out 570 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: with the listeners? That that was your the body you wanted. 571 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: It's strangely got a people's radar about his youth, but 572 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: you have to understand that in the Fall of ninety one, 573 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I was an eleven year old boy. Look looking at 574 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: this nineteen year old unk to me, definitely getting better. 575 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: I think you're only going deeper into the areas of critique. Yeah, 576 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: And I just gotta say, while we're on the subject, 577 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: before we get into the preview, you went with Mark 578 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: the Brad Pitton Fight Club, which is a great, strong pick. 579 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: It's also kind of basic. It's like, yeah, if everybody 580 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: wants Brad Pitt's body, and I'm sorry I didn't pick 581 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: a preteen, which is not basic, but it is very question. 582 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: He's a late teen. It's a very big colley. Do 583 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: you want to share your like dream? Yes? Because this 584 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: this definitely will be awkward. This is an awkward exchange 585 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: between the two of us. I feel like, no, I 586 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: would go with I'm gonna go Jasmine from the Disney 587 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: movie Aladdin. I mean that's a kid's card. Yeah, Colleen 588 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: doesn't get buried for it because none of us know 589 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: what Jasmine look because she's not a real person. So 590 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: Jack Morris, by the way, just for the wreck Club, 591 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: well Brad Pitt's body, Greg, I don't think that's a 592 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: I think that was a solid pick. I'll stick with it. 593 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: I think so too, Breck. I think you had a 594 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: great pick. You shared what you shared it in our 595 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: n R. I am room. What who you would pick? 596 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: I can't even remember at this wasn't like a tennis 597 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: layer or something. No, oh, no, that's right. I went 598 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: with Gilbert got Gilbert, which I found was we can 599 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: all drink that is the winning pick. All right. So 600 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Thursday night football matchup between Mark 601 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: V Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs and a very 602 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: important game mark uh for ball teams, but especially the Raiders. 603 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: So the Chiefs finally lost. Um, they're five one. Now 604 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: they go on the road to Oakland. Hey, even if 605 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: they lose this game, they're okay. The Chiefs are okay. 606 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: But the Raiders are two and four and they just 607 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: had a terrible home loss to the Chargers. I mean, 608 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: how how deep are they in it? If they can't 609 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: find a way against Kansas. You lose this game, you're 610 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: two and five, and then you go on the road 611 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: against Buffalo in Miami before you're bye week your season. 612 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: How do you climb out of two and five in 613 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: the toughest division with the rest of the schedule they 614 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: face as well. I I my deeper concern is I 615 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: don't really believe in the Raiders based on what I've 616 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: seen over the last at lead two to three weeks 617 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: on tape. No, the offense just it's nowhere near the 618 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: same what it was last year. And Derek Carr, he 619 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: just looks stiff right now. He's not he can't do 620 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: the same things he was doing. I mean, it was 621 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: nice that Amari Cooper did make some catches in the game, 622 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: but it's not like he played a big role either. 623 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: But noble, right, certainly noble, I would say, very noble. 624 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: He wasn't really the problem. Extremely noble, I mean handsome 625 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: and noble and brave. What's what's happening right now. I 626 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: the problem was was partly the game plan, was the 627 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: fact that they were so we're trying to get a 628 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: house like gushing over the Raiders scenario. We need to 629 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: say something, and there's not a lot of positive things 630 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: to say right now. Part of his problem last week 631 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: was just the game plan. I mean, he's playing with 632 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: a broken bone in his back, and so they decided 633 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands really quickly 634 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: and throw nothing downfield. A couple of times he did 635 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: throw downfield looked a little weird, so I wouldn't it's 636 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: not surprising that he's not a dent when he's coming 637 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: off a broken bone in his back. The problem is 638 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line. It's not Marshall Lynch. I think Marshall 639 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: Lynch is running well. The problem is the defense that 640 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: can't get on off the field. They're not opening up holes. 641 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this is four straight weeks. They've been one 642 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: of the worst offenses in the league, giving up a 643 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 1: lot of penetration, and when when it came, when push 644 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: came to shove at the end of the game, they 645 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: couldn't get a stop. They could not get the San 646 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: Diego Charger. I mean the Los Angeles charged. It's like 647 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: we're spending all this time on their disappointing offense, which 648 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: average is thinking about thirteen points a game over the 649 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: last month. Pretty bad. But it's their defense that has 650 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: always been suspect the entire time. I mean, what are 651 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: we clinging to with this team that still says playoff hopeful? 652 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: They somehow to have Khalil Mack and they don't have 653 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: a pass rush that hard thing to accomplish. Well, this 654 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: is what you're clinging to. It's still just week six. 655 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: We just they there's no doubt about it. But they 656 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: showed so much to last year that I'm not ready 657 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: to count them out. And you could look at it 658 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: as um, they're in deep trouble, which they are, especially 659 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: if they lose this game. But the other way to 660 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: look at it is home game against the Chiefs and 661 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: then two road games against the Middle. I know people 662 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: like Buffalo, but uh, winnable games on the road into 663 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: your bye. So there's a chance that they can get 664 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: things together and be just fine going into that by. 665 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: So you need to see them go into that buy 666 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: at five and four, which means you need to go well, 667 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: but I need to go three and oh basically between 668 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: now and the bye I know, two of three and 669 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: and still be okay, it's a wide open conference come 670 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: back against the Patriots in Denver. You got the Chiefs. Well, 671 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: look at that schedule. The Patriots are not the Patriots 672 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: right now. The Broncos just got destroyed by the Giants. 673 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: The Giants are one in five. I mean, you can 674 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: you can make I think they need to go about 675 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: eight and two from here to the end of the 676 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: season to make the playoffs. I have absolutely no faith 677 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: though that they can do it. And right they're going 678 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: up against one of the best offense in the league. 679 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: And yes, Pittsburgh kind of has Kansas City figured out. 680 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: And I think the offensive line injuries, which we haven't 681 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: talked a lot about in Kansas City, finally showed up. 682 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: But there's nothing that the Raiders defense, especially has shown 683 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: me under Ken Norton. This is a three year problem 684 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: that they haven't really solved. That lets me think that 685 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna slow down this Kansas City offense. I love 686 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in this game. I'm with you, man, Oh 687 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: do you love him? That him? I just locked him up? 688 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: What can we get a confrontational locked him up for me. Yeah. 689 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: I love whenever I see Greg, like, look over behind 690 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: the glass. You know he's got something before. Um, that's good. 691 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna do a lock 692 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: off should you know? Not in this case. But I 693 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: think the Raiders will absolutely be game in this game. 694 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be taken down by maybe fourteen points. 695 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: And I think playing two games in five days is 696 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: not great when you have a broken bone in your 697 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: back either. I'm talking like I'm talking how games do? 698 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: I think the Raiders are gonna be? Like the ocean 699 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 1: is gonna be two hundred and twelve degrees fahrenheit? Did 700 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: you just look it up? Did you just don't know? 701 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:20,320 Speaker 1: Boil it? What's the temper boils at? Yeah? Baby? Whoa? 702 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: And for the overseas listeners, one hundreds I'm not sure 703 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: that checks out? Is that that's correct? With a lot 704 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 1: more logical? Well, yeah, they had exactly they had got 705 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: they got to this first, big, big, nice round number 706 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: right there. Um, I do think the Raiders are gonna win. 707 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: By the way, am I alone on it? I found 708 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: like I think the Chiefs are gonna win. This is 709 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: a team that doesn't trust their running games so much 710 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: that they're you know, doing pitch plays or El Patterson 711 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: on third one and that said, weird stuff happens. Yeah, 712 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a huge upset by any means. I 713 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: think they I mean, they mean, they're probably barely an 714 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: underdog and all that. I just I just don't like it. 715 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: Week after we they've kind of been the same team. 716 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: They've been one of the more consistent teams in the league, 717 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: consistently well, terrible to watch. We were all singing the 718 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 1: praises after week too. I'm saying, I'm saying, four straight 719 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 1: weeks they've gone out and in week two, I mean, 720 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: the question is whether or And that's why I guess 721 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: that the core of this is are they in a 722 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: slump or are they actually not a very good team? 723 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: And those are the shoulders of greatness presented by head 724 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: and shoulders. All right, all right, here we go. We 725 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: got one more thing to get to today. It's very important.

It had to do. 801 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 1: We had to deal with a little bit of um. 802 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: There were some questions from let's say our side of things, 803 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 1: and uh, we have cleared those hurdles and we will 804 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: be returning each a hard out richard that we're breaking 805 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: media news like it's good anyway.
