So let's chill, let's hang out, 23 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: let's enjoy life. Okay, let's start with Jake. I love 24 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: the show. As a former hooper, I've I always followed 25 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: the NBA and valued actual proven players superstars way more 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: than draft picks. Can you explain why this isn't really 27 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: the case in the NFL? Is it the short career 28 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: horizons or the contracts follow up? How comes so many 29 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: average normal franchises can become championship contenders in the NFL. 30 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: I read that half the playoff teams rotate every year 31 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: so much parody. It seems if you have two to 32 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: three great drafts and a service or quarterback, you're good 33 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: to go. Well, I think the number one thing with 34 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: the draft picks is the cost control and the second 35 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: and third rounds. Like in the n b A. You know, 36 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: once you get out of the top ten, the draft 37 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: is a complete crapshoot. The chances when you're picking twelve 38 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna get a better player when the guy is drafting, 39 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean it happens all the time, right the top 40 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 1: really you could argue the top five six picks are 41 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: are gold in the NBA because that's where you find 42 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: historically really good players. James Harden, Steph Curry. You know, 43 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: obviously all the top picks, Lebron, James, Anthony Davis. You 44 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: go around. Dame Lillard was a high pick. Uh, Jayson 45 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: Tatum was a high pick. Brown was a high pick. 46 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: Just you know, you honest, somewhat of Kevin Durant was 47 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: a high pick. Most of the top players in the league, 48 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: the majority of them now there are outliers. Yokich Luca 49 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: was a top pick. Chris Paul was a top pick. 50 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: You just go around the league. In football, think about 51 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: some of the best players in the NFL right now, 52 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: right at different positions. Think of the star wide receivers. 53 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson went picked twenty two and he got traded 54 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: basically straight up for Dicks A. J. Brown, huge contract, 55 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, huge contract. So there are a ton of 56 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: players and I just see it like, I'll just use 57 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: the forty example because they're top of my head. Some 58 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: of their best players, George Kittle, Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel. 59 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: We're not first round picks and I think we go 60 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: around the NFL and find that on all the different teams. Now, 61 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of players Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, you know, 62 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, guys were first round picks. Tom Brady, we 63 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: all know his story. But when I hit on a second, third, 64 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: fourth round pick, I have the guy for three years 65 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: making eight hundred thousand dollars, nine thousand dollars whatever the contract. 66 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: That the exact number. But you know what I'm saying, 67 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: So I I really think it's the money and the 68 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: likelihood of getting really good players, the likelihood of getting 69 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: star players Alvin Kamara in the third round, Derrick Henry 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: in the second round. We could do it on every team, 71 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in the third round. It's just the way 72 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: you build your squad, you know. And yeah, I mean 73 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: I think the likelihood of getting good players after the 74 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: first round is the reason they don't do it. Plus, 75 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: when I trade for a veteran player, it's one thing 76 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: if I trade for a young veteran player, guy in 77 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: his twenties, but like if I trade for a thirty 78 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 1: year old, you know, like ultimately, the Chargers trading a 79 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: second round pick for Cleil Mac is risky because we've 80 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: seen them get legit player year after year in the 81 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: second round. Now, if he's still awesome, no problem. But 82 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: if he's not, let's just say and listen. I'm a 83 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: huge Cleil Mac fan. I think he's gonna be a stud. 84 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: But I'm just using this an example. Let's say he shot, 85 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: he's never been. He will never be the same. Again, 86 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: that's a disastrous trade. It really is, big fan of 87 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: the pot. Now, just because you trade a veteran player 88 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: for draft picks on the flip side, doesn't mean we 89 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: saw Gruden and Mayok do it. And they missed right 90 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: obviously on when they traded for Amari Cooper and Cleil Mac. 91 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: Disastrous trade. Disastrous big fan of the pod. Just wanted 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: to know your thoughts on Sirianni stepping down from calling 93 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: the offensive plays. He said that it was that it 94 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: happened prior to us started winning games last season, but 95 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: it's something to worry about when your head coach is 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: just a people guy not calling plays. I had one 97 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: in my d m S last week, forward me same 98 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: question basically like what are your thoughts on this? I'm like, 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Nick? Sirianni is their play collar. 100 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 1: And then he forwarded me this clip. I guess last 101 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: week either he said it or I'll be honest, didn't 102 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: watch it, but or the or the the guy that 103 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: actually called the place said it the middle of the 104 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: season when they were kind of struggling. They flip flopped, 105 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: which I would say, is that ideal? If it's true. Again, 106 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: I haven't verified, but now multiple people have sent me this. 107 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: I guess he would have been said last week and 108 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: their veteran mini or their mandatory minicamp. If Nick Sirianni 109 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: is no longer the play caller, that's that's somewhat of 110 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: a problem, right because ultimately these young coaches, young offensive coaches, 111 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: Kyle McVeigh, Lafleur, Hell, you just Arthur Smith. You just 112 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: start going around the league like I want them to 113 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: call place, Cliff Kingsbury call my place. That's what I'm 114 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: hiring you for. Obviously, you've got to be the leader. 115 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: You're the head coach. But I want you scheming on 116 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: a weekly basis on Sunday t Why Sean Payton, Andy Reid, 117 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: you are so valuable because they're white callers. I don't 118 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: know if true again, I haven't seen it with my 119 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: own eyes, but enough you guys have sent it. I 120 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: got probably a little lazy, could have clicked on it 121 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: when when one of the guys earlier sent it to me, 122 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: but I would I would say it's something to monitor 123 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: for sure. Uh. Speaking of which, what are some of 124 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: the lesser known forty nine players to keep an eye 125 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: out in the coming months and into the season. I 126 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: would say Juwan Jennings, their number three wide receiver who 127 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: they drafted in the seventh round a couple of years 128 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: ago from Tennessee, who had Uh. I guess it would 129 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: be considered the game winning touchdown against the Rams? Was 130 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: that an overtime I can't even remember now. He was 131 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: awesome down the stretch for him. He looks fantastic at 132 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: O t a s now. I don't know how. It's 133 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: not like he's gonna be an eight guy because they 134 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: got Debo and I you can kindle, but I could 135 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: see him being a forty catch guy with five six touchdowns. 136 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: He's big, He's really big. Uh. And their first round 137 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: pick Drake or second round picked Drake Jackson, pass rusher 138 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: from USC. He gonna play and he's gonna be pretty 139 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: good because their defensive line always kicks ass and this 140 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: kid can bend. He's explosive. Uh, he's gonna be an 141 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: impact guy. I love the podcast while live players receive 142 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: hate and judgment, isn't an immediately hypocritical that athletes and 143 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: reporters would judge someone for playing in the Lift series? 144 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: All we're supporting their Nike kicks or recording with their 145 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: iPhone both. In more companies who have been accused of 146 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: media of human rights violations, Obviously, the acquisation the act, 147 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: the accusations are not nearly as egregious as the Siety government. Nonetheless, 148 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: violations are violations. I think they need to take a 149 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: look in the mirror. I like your takes and your 150 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: stuff because you're definitely realistic and uh, well, here's the thing. 151 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty simple. The Golf Channel, which is 152 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: owned by NBC, if you google them, they they've had 153 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: some things happen under their their umbrella that are pretty ugly. 154 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: So the guys at the Golf Channel are by far 155 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: the most outspoken. So when they get on the moral 156 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: high horse, they're taking checks from a company that has 157 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: done shady ship sexual assault, paid women to be quiet 158 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: like that's a fact, that's not an opinion. But I'm 159 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: not putting that on the guys that are complaining. They 160 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with that, but that's where they 161 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: receive their money. They choose to stay there. The reason, though, 162 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: if you just want to be honest, why they're so angry. 163 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: Obviously we all agree the Saddis do shady ship. If 164 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get in business with them, good luck. Now, 165 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: from a financial standpoint, they have probably the most money, right, 166 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: they just have an unlimited amount of money and they've 167 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: never made more of these last couple of years. Financially, 168 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: they just they will never run out. It's it's crazy. 169 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: But when those guys in the Golf channel pound the table, 170 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: they do so much. The Golf Channel covers the PGA Tour, 171 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: and they spend a ton of time talking about all 172 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: their events minus the majors. They cover the majors too, 173 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: but the regular events is a huge part of their business. Well, 174 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 1: if these guys keep defecting, what does it do? It 175 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: impacts their business, it hurts their product, and ultimately it 176 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: hurts their earning potential. I think the quicker you come 177 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: to grips with everyone is inherently a little selfish. We 178 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: all think about our own needs first. So you can 179 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: be outraged, offended, whatever by anything. But I think a 180 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: lot of times it's human nature to think, how does 181 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: this impact me, especially especially under the professional umbrella, And 182 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: this impacts those guys professionally, it does not bother me. 183 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: Now would I do it? You know, it's easy to 184 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: say no, I wouldn't do it. And then they offer you, Hey, 185 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: middle golf, here's up eighty million dollars. You on a 186 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: podcast about live. I'd be like, see a Colin see Aberman? 187 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about these guys? Have 188 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: we seen the numbers? It would be one thing. It's like, 189 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: you know Phil was worth eight hund million and they 190 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: gave him twenty million. You'd be like, that's a little weird. 191 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: They gave him a hundred and fifty to two hundred 192 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: million dollars. It's like, why did DJ go he's super rich? 193 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: They gave him a hundred and twenty five million dollars. 194 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about? Myles Garrett last 195 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: year got a hundred guaranteed. Dustin Johnson just got more 196 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: to play golf. It's way harder to play defensive end 197 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: now I'm not saying that it's not hard to be 198 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: as good as DJ, but we're talking astronomical amounts of money. 199 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: Here's the one thing I will say about the golfers, 200 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: because the NBA guys took a lot of ship where 201 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: they put themselves out in the fire as they lectured 202 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: us politically, the golfers never do. Tiger Woods has never 203 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: said a word ever politically and he won't. It's just 204 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: it's just not really the their style. Because also they 205 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: know they vote on the side of the Ledger that 206 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: if they did openly talk, they would get crushed on 207 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: social media. But I got news for you. The PGA 208 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: Tour doesn't vote left, but they keep their mouth shut 209 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: and most of them just take the money. And some 210 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: of them rories and jts have been supportive, but when 211 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: it comes to the Golf Channel, guys crushing them like 212 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's hypocritical because again, they had nothing 213 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: to do with the stuff that happened at NBC over 214 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: the years, but they are taking that money and ultimately 215 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: they're coming from a place of if I covered the 216 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: NFL and there was a league that was gonna hurt 217 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: the NFL, and I wouldn't want guys to leave, right, 218 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: It's just it's just we're all it's basic business that 219 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: they want to protect their product. And Greg Norman, who 220 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: might be a little shady, you know, not well liked, 221 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: is uh is ruffle in their feathers. Hey, I love 222 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: the show. If the PGA tour loses, make King where 223 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: players can play for other organizations, how do you think 224 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: this would affect the UFC. UFC is a similar model 225 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: where fights are fighters are independent workers but cannot fight 226 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: for the organization and come back to the U S UFC. 227 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: The difference though, is the UFC is the same setup, right, 228 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: there are way less elite fighters and famous fighters. And 229 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: one thing, I I'm a big Dana white guy. I 230 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: don't pretend to know. I know a lot of people 231 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: have pushed back how much he pays his fighters. I 232 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: think what they've built is incredible. And I'm not a 233 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: huge fight guy like I I like the concept of it. 234 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: I just didn't never really get into the UFC. Besides, 235 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: like a huge, huge fight is if there was another 236 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: league and they had a ton of stars, you know, ultimately, 237 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: golf just has ten twenty guys that, like you can't 238 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: afford to lose how many guys does or girls does 239 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: UFC have they can't afford to lose a couple. I 240 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: think the model is a little different, just on the quantity, 241 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: because ultimately, I think Dana would say, we create these people. 242 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: You didn't know who Connor was. Before we created Connor, 243 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: you didn't know who Aldough was. And I might be 244 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: screwing this up. I'm not some die hard fight guy, 245 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: but I think that's fair to say so. I think 246 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: it would be more difficult. But yeah, if another league 247 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: wanted to pay them five x what the UFC is 248 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: paying them, they would leave question for the mail bag. 249 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Why are the Packers gonna be so much worse without 250 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Davante Adams? But the Chiefs won't fall out without Tyreek Hill? 251 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: Well they still have Travis Kelsey. I would say that's 252 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: a big deal. And the other thing is like I've 253 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: seen Andy Reid work with a million people for two 254 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: and a half decades. I've never seen La Flour have 255 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: to pivot like this now. I don't think they're gonna 256 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: be that much worse. Where Where have I said that 257 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: they're gonna suck? I still am going to pick them 258 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: to win the Division. Now, are they gonna wintourteen games? 259 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna pick that, but could they win eleven? Yeah? 260 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: They got the best player in the league. His name 261 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers. Both these two teams, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes. 262 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: How am I not gonna pick them both to win 263 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: double digits? The Packers have an unreal run game. I 264 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: think Packers be fine, you know, I now, fine, We'll 265 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: think of what they've done. They haven't one playoff games 266 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: really the last couple of years. They've won one playoff 267 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: game in two years. I guess they've won two playoff 268 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: games in the three years of the floor's being been there, 269 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: but they've been the number one seed two out of 270 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: the three of them. Think they're gonna be fine. I've 271 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: never said that the Packers are gonna suck. I just 272 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: have more faith in Andy pivoting because I've seen him 273 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: pivot for years now. Rogers probably be fine, you know, 274 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: with some of these random guys. But I would say 275 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: their groups a little more random than even the Chiefs. 276 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: So that there, I mean, they're gonna depend on a 277 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: North Dakota State player. Now, do they end up signing 278 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: some veteran wide receiver. I don't even know who that 279 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: would be at this point. But again, I'm picking the 280 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: Packers to win the division. I'm gonna pick them probably 281 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: win eleven games, both teams, eleven or ten games. What 282 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: would be the impact of one of the Live golfers 283 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: winning the Open this year this weekend? Well, to me, 284 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: the only guy that could win it and recording this 285 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: on Friday afternoon would be DJ, and that would be 286 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: a huge moment for Live even though, like we all know, 287 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: DJ was sweet and he's the only sweet guy they 288 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: really got. So would it even be that crazy? Like, yeah, 289 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: they stole a top ten player and who's won the 290 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: US Open before, So maybe it wouldn't be that crazy. Now, 291 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: Greg Norman would never shut up about it, but uh, 292 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: I would imagine Live really wants DJ to win. Big 293 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: time Steelers fan, I know you're not a big canny 294 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: Pickett guy, but when I watched Pitt highlights, he seems 295 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: to have a good arm and throws well on the run. 296 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: What do you think is the best case scenario as 297 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: far as his ceiling. I think he can prove doubt 298 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: or is wrong. And why do people continue to sleep 299 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: on the Steelers when Tomlin always has them in the 300 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: playoff mix. It's a quarterback league, and when you have 301 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: a great quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, you know, Russell Wilson, 302 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Mahomes. You know, it's just we're 303 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: gonna be more inclined to talk about those teams you have, 304 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: Miss Drabinsky and Kenny Pickett. Now maybe I'm wrong. Maybe 305 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett turns out to be a really good player, 306 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: but maybe he doesn't. And Mr Whiskey's you're starting quarterback. 307 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: Mr Rabinsky. Now you can say that you're a better 308 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: organization than Chicago, that's a fact. But like when your 309 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: quarterback is in question, it's hard to make the playoffs. 310 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: Think about you guys. Last year Roethlisberger was a shell 311 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: of himself and it took the Colts losing the Sunday 312 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: took the Colts losing and the Raiders and charges not 313 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: tying for you guys to get in as a seven seat. 314 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: So it's it's just really hard. I think that's part 315 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: of it, innocent or not. We talked frequently about how 316 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: poor Deshawn's decision making was with the massage therapist, which 317 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: is completely valid. But can I make the argument that 318 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: the most absurd part of the entire story is how 319 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: atrocious of a business decision this could turn out to 320 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: be for Jimmy Haslum. Imagine if Big Rog really does 321 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: want to drop the hammer and too Seawan doesn't see 322 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: the field for one or two more years, has Lum 323 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: could end up nuking his franchise out of desperation. I 324 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: can't even imagine if a regular business gave an employee 325 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: that much guaranteed money while in legal trouble. Curious on 326 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: your thoughts, Well, let's think about it when the money 327 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: we're talking too, thirty million dollars would only be possible 328 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: right in a couple industries. It would be like Netflix 329 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: or Apple or something pays a huge like Leo Noardo 330 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: DiCaprio for like a five series movie thing. Uh. Maybe 331 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: it happens with a musician like I pay Drake or 332 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: I pay Taylor Swift for like five or six albums. Uh. 333 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: I guess it could happen with like a CEO of 334 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: like a major major company, right like Apple or Google. 335 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: I hired the ceo, I gave him five four D 336 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: three million dollars and they're they're involved in something like this. 337 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say in all these other 338 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: industries music, uh, you know, TV, slash, movie, streaming, CEO, 339 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: none of them would be signed while this was going on. 340 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that this would only 341 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: happen in sports, and you could argue it might only 342 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: happen in football. And the thing I just can't get 343 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: my head around is the amount of women. You know 344 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: it would be I think it would we view it 345 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: so much differently it was just him one on one 346 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: with a massage therapist, because we've seen similar situations like that, 347 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: we'd be like he said, she said, not fair to 348 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: make a judgment. It's the amount of women. How could 349 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: they possibly like is there a massage therapist union? How 350 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: they know each other? And they're all giving similar accounts 351 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: of the small towel Like I, I I just think that 352 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 1: he's in major ship right now. And ultimately, how's this 353 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: gonna go away? That's my question? How is this gonna end? 354 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: How is all of a sudden it's like it's gonna 355 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: be over. It does even feel remotely close to ending, 356 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: which is a major problem for Jimmy Haslin, who, let's 357 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: face it has been one of the biggest clown owners 358 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL over the last decade. Freddy Kitchens, Hugh Jackson, 359 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean he stole from the Truckers. He's just, I mean, 360 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: a shitty owner. Now sometimes it's be like, well, it's 361 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: the coach and the GM's fault. Do you think the 362 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: coach and the GM it would be impossible for them 363 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: to do this because ultimately the owner would have to 364 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: sign off and want to pay the guy that much 365 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: guaranteed money. It's why all the other teams backed out. 366 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: Their owners were like, we're not giving him two thirty 367 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: million dollars. So yeah, major problem, major problem. My question 368 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: is about the Bills. I think they're getting caught up 369 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: in the a f C West action in the off 370 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: season and ignoring the fact that the Bill's team could 371 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: be the best team in the league since Oh seven, 372 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: number one defenses, three first round studs, added von Miller 373 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: and added the number one first round corner, added another 374 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: first round corner, number one offensive, the best, second, best 375 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: young quarterback. I think they could win fifteen to seventeen games. 376 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: Is this the regular season? Uh? What do you think? Ps? 377 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: You mentioned a need for questions coming up for the show. 378 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm always down to help with content if you need 379 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: a filler questions, keep the d M s open. Um. 380 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: I mean, seventeen and O would probably be unrealistic, but yeah, 381 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say fourteen and three to 382 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: me is probably the new that extra game. The season 383 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: is so long, you could argue fifteen or fourteen and 384 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: three is like the new fifteen and one. Uh, because 385 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if we see a team go sixteen 386 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: and one and fifteen and two fields honestly pretty hard 387 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: to Um. Yeah, I'd say fourteen and three. You if 388 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: we played out a simulation of the next ten years, 389 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: I would imagine that fourteen and three basically gets you 390 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: the number one seed every single season. So if you 391 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: go fourteen and three year in the driver's seat, which yeah, 392 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you, very very possible, I think they're 393 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: gonna be really, really good. And someone asked me, like, 394 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: what does Josh Allen need to do to win a 395 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I don't know, just keep playing like he's playing. 396 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: Let me just keep doing what he's doing. You know 397 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: he's gonna win one. Uh if he stays healthy. I 398 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: don't see how he doesn't win a super Bowl in 399 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: his career. Now there's no guarantees took it away forever. 400 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: Damn Marino never won one. It's hard Jim Kelly and 401 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: those great teams never won on him. But I feel 402 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: pretty confident if you gave me, you gotta put ten 403 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, will Josh Allen win a Super Bowl? Will 404 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: Josh Allen not win a Super Bowl? My ten thousand 405 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: dollars would go on Josh Allen winning a super Bowl. 406 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: The Falcons, while I think they were smart to not 407 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: overdraft a quarterback in Round one or two, I don't 408 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: understand why they pick Ridder over Willis from a scouting perspective. 409 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: Is there any justification to take Desmond Ridder over Malik Willis. 410 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: Both seem like long term projects, but it seems like 411 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: Willis has a higher ceiling. Well, there's no arguing that 412 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: Ritter has less physical talent than Willis in terms of 413 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: a thrower. Ritter does not have a great arm and 414 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Willis has a hose. But we've seen a lot of 415 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: guys with huge arms never develop in anything. But when 416 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: you look at Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator, the quarterbacks 417 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: that he's dealt with before, Mariota tanny Hill are not 418 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: freak talents. They're athletic, but in terms of arm talent average. 419 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: So I think he saw a lot of Ritter in 420 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 1: the guys that he had previously coached in Mariota and 421 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: tanny Hill, who he believes I'm sure he can win with. 422 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: Where Willis is much more of like a Josh Alleny, 423 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: you know, major project Trey Lance, like you gotta do 424 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 1: a lot of work. Accuracy is gonna be like it's 425 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: just a major, major project, and maybe he just wanted 426 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: to go A lot of coaches do this. They go 427 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: with what they like, They go with what they concede 428 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: that they've used before, which is human nature. If you've 429 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: done something before, like if you're a sales guy and 430 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: you're trying to make a sale and you have a 431 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: couple of moves or a couple of lines that have 432 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: worked before, you're gonna go back to it, right just it. 433 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: It's human nature. You go with what you feel comfortable doing, 434 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: and maybe he's just more comfortable with that type package. 435 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: My take on Desmond Ritter was I didn't quite see 436 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: it uh as a future started, but they drafted him 437 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: in the third round. So when you drafted Got in 438 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: the third round. I got. I got no issue with 439 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: taking a guy like him. You were critical of the 440 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: Hoodie for having the beard called the offense. You sided 441 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: Andy and Kyle and how they adapt at calling plays. 442 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: Hasn't Bill earned the benefit of the doubt. I'm not 443 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: saying I'm on board of this bullshit. I'm just saying 444 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: my man's been win super balls for virtually all of 445 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Kyle's life. It seems like that only bought him tour 446 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: years of and credit. I moved to this spiteful little 447 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: in enclave of the country twelve years ago. I learned 448 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: two things. Don't park in a space you didn't shovel out, 449 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: and never doubt Belichick, could you have second thoughts about 450 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: shorting the paths? Or is there just no chance? I'm 451 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: with you on Bill as are in the benefit of 452 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: the doubt. No one disputes I know he got edgy 453 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: last year or maybe a couple of years ago. No 454 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: one is arguing his resume. It speaks for itself. I mean, 455 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: he's He's beyond elite. He's the greatest football coach to 456 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: ever coach in the National Football League, college or high school. 457 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: He's literally the greatest coach ever. But when you get 458 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: seven years old and you make a former defensive coordinator 459 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: your offensive coach, I think it's not only fair to 460 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: question it, but I think it's fair to go this 461 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: is fucking moronic. This is stupid. Like you get the 462 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: benefit of doubt when you draft and you take the 463 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: guy Cole Strings, Like what, I'm not questioning for that. 464 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: That's that's his prerogative. He might found the next Logan Mankins. 465 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: But when you make Matt Patricia your offensive coordinator, like 466 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: when I talk about Kyle Andy or McVeigh, like those 467 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: guys are offensive coaches and they coach offense. I was 468 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: there when Andy made One Castillo the defensive coordinator because 469 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: you didn't want to lose him, and it will it backfired. 470 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: Like it's why it's like impossible to do. It's really 471 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: really hard. I just think there's a reason why, you know, 472 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh or Kyle shanahan when they lost Brandon Staley 473 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: and Robert Salo, that they didn't go, you know, I 474 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: know on the offensive coordinator head coach. But I'm gonna 475 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: make Kevin O'Connell and Mike McDaniel my offensive coordinator they're 476 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: gonna call plays, and I'm not gonna hire a defensive coordinator. 477 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the d C. You'd be like, what 478 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: what's this guy doing? I'm sorry. This is not a 479 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 1: shot at Belichick individually as a coach, but this decision 480 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: is outrageous, like outrageous. We all have to agree making 481 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: Matt Patricia your offensive coordinator. And here the other thing. 482 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: If Tom Brady was there and Tom's like, I love Patricia, 483 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: we can figure it out, I'd be like, that makes 484 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: more sense. It's a second year quarterback. Do you know? 485 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: Unfair that is to Mac Jones. I just I think 486 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: Belichick is I even think his son and mail their 487 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: defensive staff is fantastic. But Matt Patricia's gonna call offensive place. 488 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: I want to play them. I want to play them bad. 489 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: If i'm another team, keep up the great work. I'm 490 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: up and coming podcaster and curious if you have any 491 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: advice on how to stick out and be that one 492 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: percent first and foremost, you just you gotta do good 493 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: a good show. Uh. I would say, find a lane 494 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: that you feel passionate and knowledgeable about and talk about it. 495 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: Then you know it's it's gonna be difficult. I mean, 496 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: part of the reason I've had two podcasts. One was 497 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: a radio show, so we had a built in audience. 498 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,479 Speaker 1: The other had Colin Coward backing me. So it's just 499 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: it's you're not just gonna get an audience from scratch. 500 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: I would say you gotta utilize Instagram, you gotta utilize YouTube. 501 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: I I don't. I mean, it's just very very hard. 502 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: You gotta be relentless, you gotta be consistent, and then 503 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: you gotta just do it for a long time. Like 504 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: it might not it might take a couple of years. 505 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: A lot of podcasts, especially if a recession, hits are 506 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: gonna go away, are gonna go away. So you know 507 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 1: that the amount of podcast is gonna diminish would be 508 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: my big picture take. But not like if there's I 509 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: have no clue how many podcasts. Let's just say this 510 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: is number is low. Let's say there's a million podcasts. 511 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: That number can be cut in half in a year 512 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: and a half. I'll promise you that. So are you 513 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: willing to stick it out? Because it's one of those 514 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: businesses that like you don't have to do it? Do 515 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: you want to do it? You know, it's just like 516 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: you want to record that. Now, let's take the weekend off. 517 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean I've recorded on the weekend basically, I would 518 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: say nine of the weekends for the last five years. 519 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: It might not be long, it might just be minutes, 520 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: but like it's just it never ends. This isn't like 521 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, taking some of a break. No, I might. 522 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: I might take a week off here in a couple 523 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: of weeks. But you know what I'm saying. So I 524 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: would say, be consistent, be relentless. You're gonna need some luck. 525 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: You gotta post use YouTube, Uh, find a lane that 526 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: you like talking about too. Don't just be like, you know, 527 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: I kind of like baseball. I'm gonna talk about baseball 528 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: because if you're not passionate or fired up about it, 529 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: like you're gonna like what am I gonna talk about today? 530 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: So you've got to find something that you like talking about. 531 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: And if you find something you like talking about, and 532 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: then obviously there's gonna be some Are you talented enough 533 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: to just talk? It's not. I mean, ultimately, my greatest 534 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: talent is I just talk a lot. And I've been 535 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: talking a lot since I was like two years old. 536 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: My dad used to always tell me to shut up. 537 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: It's just something I have. Like, it's not like I'm 538 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: just I never talked, then I just do it now 539 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: like I've been talking my whole fucking life. No on stop. 540 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not the greatest quality, but in terms of 541 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: making a profession out of podcasting, it's allowed me to 542 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: put food on the table. And right now, with inflation, 543 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: food is pretty expensive. So uh and only getting more 544 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: expensive if you've got to the store lately. Holy Connoli, 545 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: as Clay would say, it is not cheap. Uh So yeah, 546 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: consistency number one, find something you like, talk about number two, 547 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: and then just figure out kind of your lane. Use 548 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: social media, use YouTube, use Instagram. Don't waste time to 549 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,239 Speaker 1: meet Twitter is a waste of time. I would not 550 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: waste much time on Twitter. A lot of cluster. They're 551 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: not a lot of society on their Society is on YouTube. 552 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: Society is on Instagram. That's where the people are. Twitter 553 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: feels loud, not a lot of people. I promise you, 554 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: as someone that's been on it for a decade, don't 555 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: waste your time. How I'd go, TikTok TikTok. TikTok has 556 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: way more people than I think Instagram, so I would 557 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: spend my time there promoting it, and good luck to 558 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: you audios, have a good weekend.
