13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: march as well. Yep. I felt like it was his

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: kind of scenes, one of those. It was one of

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: those Mark weekends where he could be literally anywhere and

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: you would believe it. Yep. Um did he share the

17
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: story about the old age home? Maybe that's that's for

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: the office, that's one of my favorite Um. I still

19
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know if that's true. Um. Okay, So Colleen's here

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: and the reason why she's sitting in Mark's chairs because

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Mark is actually on the road right now. Uh, he

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: is on a road trip to Houston for the Super Bowl.

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: He actually his company and you know it all ties together. Gonzo, Yeah,

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: Colleen's husband with Mark and a little later today, we're

00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna get him on the phone and see how they're doing.

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: If they're doing, Okay, what they're doing? What this whole

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: thing is? Why is this even happening. We're gonna get

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: all the answers. Company sanctioned trip. I think they have

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: a sponsor, don't they They might have a sponsor. It's

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: a sponsored road trip by bud Light, which is curious

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: because it's a road trip brought to you by bud Light.

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, well I think the end results sponsored by

33
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the actual writing is sponsored by bud Light. Okay, not

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the Apple. I was hoping they were in a car

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: that was wrapped with a blud light like Rex. Rex.

36

60
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: more kind of like this, like the third or fourth

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,160

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: But we didn't take it. But the forest, I wasn't there, right,

67
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. Yeah, but you chose not to go.

68
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: You you put your career ahead of chose Why did

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: you put your career? I had of four drinks at

70
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: the cozy. Yeah, well what are you doing? You made

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: that decision to go to New England, wasn't It feels

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: like that was a bad choice. So yeah, so we

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: had a nice we had a nice little time at

74
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: the cozy. But there's still football to get to. And

75
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: let's start by doing some news. Let's go sit. I

76
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: got the knee little preview of Mark Cesiler on the road. Mark,

77
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: by the way, was a terrible driver. I hope he's

78
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: not driving as an accident like once every two months.

79
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: I think right before the Woman's March he had another accident.

80
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: You're right, is not a good We'll get to that alright.

81
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Terrible driver, Ye, a wolf holl driver. He will. He

82
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: will even admit to that. John hates to be in

83
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: the car if somebody is a bad driver. We'll dig

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: into that, but let's start with some news out of Pittsburgh.

85
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: And if you're a Steelers fan, you don't like to

86
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: hear this. Ben Roethlisberger was on ninety three point seven

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: the Fans of the Cook and Owny Show. I know

88
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: it sounds a little bit saucy, uh talking about his future,

89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: and to the surprise of of many, UH, it was

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hazy future. Let's hear what

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 1: he had to say on the old Cook and Pony Show.

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this off season to to evaluate to UM,

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: consider health and family and things like that, and and

94
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: just kind of take some time away, UM to to

95
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: evaluate um next season, if there's gonna be the next season. Yeah.

96
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: Ben Ralisberger's thirty four, he'll be thirty five. This spring

97
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: just came off another very good season, great season, played

98
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: well in the a f C title Game, even if

99
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: his supporting UH cast didn't help him out too much.

100
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: West A lot of people across the internet scoffed at

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: this because Ben's known to play up injuries. But this

102
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a different thing, right. It's

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: he's talking about his career and he is not a

104
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: young not a young guy anymore. I dated a girl

105
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: like this. Well, Ben, He's not gonna be tire. He

106
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: just wants to be asked back. He wants people to

107
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: miss him for a little bit. He wants you to know, please, Ben,

108
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: we need you so much. We'll promise our young receivers

109
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: will take it more seriously, but we really need you.

110
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's gonna owe them eighteen million dollars

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: if he doesn't come back next year. I hope she

112
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: is better. Everybody's better looking than you know what that far?

113
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, no, I I kind of

114
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: agree with that that he sort of wants the Oh, yes,

115
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: you are going to come back. You're gonna come back

116
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: and save the team. We have all the pieces in

117
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: place that we need, and you were the only piece

118
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: that really needs to happen here for us to have success.

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: You know, he is gonna be thirty five years old.

120
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: That is not a crazy age for players to be

121
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: considering retirement basically at any other position. That's what they

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: all say in the immediate aftermath of an emotional loss.

123
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to evaluate it, and then they get a

124
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks out and then they come back. So

125
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's that different than than most players.

126
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Obviously you have to they have to plan for him

127
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: to be retiring sooner than later. I don't think they're

128
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna expect that he's retiring this year, but I think

129
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: it's a reminder that I don't think you expect Big

130
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Ben to take care of his body necessarily as well

131
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: as Tom Brady that doesn't play as well at thirty

132
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: nine as he's playing at thirty five. They gotta start

133
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: planning for the future. So maybe it's a good push

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: to that. You also get the feeling, or at least

135
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: I do that all these older quarterbacks when they get

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: out of bed, you roll out of bed, and sometimes

137
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: it's a little tougher to get to the bathroom, to

138
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: get to the kitchen. Big Ben seems like a guy

139
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: that might have that problem more than other players. He

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: has and we know about the injuries because he lets

141
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: us all know about them. But he has taken a beating,

142
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: and he is a big guy, and I would not

143
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: be surprised if he doesn't feel too good right now,

144
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: and he's wondering how much longer he wants to do.

145
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Apparently too, he's told Tomlin before that he has contemplated retirement,

146
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: So I mean this is possible he if he has

147
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Well, here's what Tomlin said when he was

148
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: told of uh, what Big Bed said on the radio.

149
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: He said it, So you do take it seriously. I

150
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: think that that's a fair assessment in terms of where

151
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: he is in his career. I'm not alarmed by it.

152
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: I think that's just football. Uh. You know what, I

153
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: have no doubt that within the forty eight hour period

154
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: after a season ending loss, the thought ever retirement entered

155
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: his mind. I have no doubt that that that happened.

156
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: Has Greg said, it happens for so many players. That's

157
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: the fall of this day. After every show, I was

158
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: gonna say how many times since one of us left

159
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: this building and been like, all right, I'm done, I'm

160
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: done with this. I'm getting out. But you sit down

161
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: and think about it, and then sit down and think

162
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: about giving eighteen million dollars back to the Steelers. If

163
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: he's not on this, If he's if he hasn't told

164
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers by the beginning of free agency in March

165
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: that he's coming back, I'll agree not to block anyone

166
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter for a month. Wow, you gotta you gotta

167
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: start reporting them. But that's next level block. You mentioned

168
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: that you want you want West to snitch on people

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: on Twitter. That's you referred though, West to something about

170
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: the young receivers like that he that there was a

171
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: D D Kin Koala I believe reported that he he

172
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: was upset with how how immature his young receivers. Well,

173
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: I think that also expends. That also extends to the

174
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: one who was suspended all year, Martavis Bryant. And if

175
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: he's on the field, that a f C Championship game

176
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: goes a lot differently, totally different, by the way. One

177
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: last note on this, he is thirty five almost Steeler

178
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: has got to figure out a play a quarterback. But

179
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: because they've been ignoring the backup position for a long time.

180
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and uh their current backups heading towards free agency.

181
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Right and other Steelers news, Mike Tomlin uh spoke about

182
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: a you know, successful Pittsburgh season that also had some

183
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: controversy of course at the end, with Antonio Brown and

184
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: his Facebook live snaffoo, and uh, Mike Tomlin spoke about

185
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: his star wide receiver about how their relationship will be

186
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: going forward. Tomlins said I'm going to continue to challenge

187
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: him in the ways I've challenged him over the course

188
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: of his career, to continue to find new ways to

189
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: be an impact player, for us to continue to grow

190
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: within the role that his his role on this team.

191
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: He wanted to say, I think it's important that we

192
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: have great clarity about not only what their roles are formally,

193
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: but what the informal responsibilities are associated with those ever

194
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: growing and ever changing roles. Uh. Greg translate that for me.

195
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: I'll translate it to Antonio Brown needs to grow up.

196
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: He's so talented that he has more responsibility on this

197
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: team than he realizes. And if he doesn't grow up,

198
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: maybe he's an ex stealer. Don't forget. Don't forget. This

199
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: is the same coach that said, literally said last week

200
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: after the Facebook Live thing. This is the type of

201
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: stuff why why great players leave the teams they're on.

202
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: So don't forget. Santonio Holmes was a young star in

203
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the team that won a Super Bowl and got sent out. Stop.

204
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop. I'm not gonna do. You guys

205
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: have Antonio Brown all. This guy has a Jerry Rice

206
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: work ethic. No receiver in the league harder than Antonio Brown.

207
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: They are not getting rid of him, no matter what

208
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: this is message sending. It's like you've made a couple

209
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: of bad decisions, start being more of a team Why

210
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: do you send a message because he needs to be

211
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: more of a team player what happened on the field.

212
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna send a couple more messages, but they're not

213
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: getting rid of Antonio Brown. I think they're all frustrated

214
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: with them too, because they're they're stuck with a wonderful player,

215
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: but they can't. They're not going to get rid of him,

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't think, and honestly, I don't know if he's

217
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: going to change. So they're in a bad spot. Not

218
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: everyone needs to be some gigantic leader. There's plenty of

219
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: immature great players in the history of the NFL. You

220
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: can't build a whole team around that. But he's not.

221
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: He's not the quarterback. It's not the end of the world.

222
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: The Steelers like to send these messages. I mean, Ben

223
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: Roth I don't know if it was a message being sent,

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: but Ben Roethlisberger was on the trade block. It was

225
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of circumstance. It was. It was a

226
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: way different, but there was. There was thought at the

227
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: time and this is when when was that oh eight, Uh,

228
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: there was thought at the time that they were kind

229
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 1: of sting that out there as a wake up call.

230
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: Can we stop acting like what Antonio Brown did and

231
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: making maybe two bad decisions? Now it's on par with

232
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Big Ben or Santonio Hall. It's not remotely. I'm assuming

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: there's way more to this. When the second Tomlin said

234
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: that in the press conference last week about Antonio Brown,

235
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: I assume there's way more to it that their general

236
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: annoyance or lack of, you know, respect for how he's

237
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: conducting himself went further than Facebook LA. I wonder also

238
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: if and this came out to us in the public later,

239
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: but that Brown had the six figure Facebook Live deal,

240
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: that not only did he act stupidly by by taping

241
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: that when Tomlin and Roethlisberger was speaking that, it was

242
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: also he had a financial impact toward himself. How how

243
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: poorly that could have played beside the lock You put

244
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: your six figure deal above the team. How big does

245
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: your yacht have to be, Antonio? You already making ten

246
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: million a year. Yeah, It's it's just immature, I think,

247
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure in the moment, he was super excited

248
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: and it was just place and he poudered. He pouded.

249
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: According to again Addy kin Kowala, during that game, after

250
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams scored a touch that that was literally the

251
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: high point of the game for the Steelers. That was

252
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: the moment where you thought, Okay, this is gonna go

253
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: back back and forth. Uh they you know, they cut

254
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: the lead there and and at that point in the game,

255
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: he's getting upset that. Yeah, but on a scale of

256
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: like it's one to Odell Beckham on how annoying you

257
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: are to teammates, he's probably too. Yeah, he's fine. He's

258
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: fine with that. I I think it's something to track though.

259
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: And he is gonna be twenty nine in July, so

260
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: if he's he's got to grow up all he's almost

261
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: thirty years old. YEA. Moving on Todd Gurley, oh man,

262
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: Poor Todd Gurley came into the league in two thousand

263
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: and fifteen. Really he was one of those guys kind

264
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: of like the way Reggie Bush was heralded when he

265
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: came into the league as this guy not only a

266
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: star but could be a superstar, in the way that

267
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Ellie became this season and then what happened this season?

268
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: He had a really nice Rookie of the year, Rookie

269
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: of the Year campaign, but stuck in a miserable offense.

270
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: Girly regretted. He finished with three point two yards per attempt.

271
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: That is, that was the lowest of any any running

272
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: back with a hundred and fifty or more rushing attempts.

273
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: He was on The Rich Eyes and Show on Tuesday

274
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: and was asked to characterize his season. Um like a nightmare.

275
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like I still can't believe, you know, Um,

276
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: this season. It was definitely a tough year, a learning

277
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: experience for for me, you know, to be what four

278
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: and twelve this year? Um, I don't want to fill

279
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: that for him again? Who hast Gurley? Um also had

280
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: described the Rams attack as a quote middle school offense

281
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: back in December. You're a tape man watching Todd Gurley.

282
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Do you think the the crappiness of his offense hurt

283
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: him as a player in terms of how explosive he was,

284
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: how hard he was trying? What were you seeing on tape?

285
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an effort issue, but I think

286
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: it was a bad habit issue. I think, just like

287
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was forced into add habits when his offensive

288
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: line got injured last year and his receivers didn't separate

289
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: from coverage. You start to see Aaron Rodgers footwork slip,

290
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: You start to see him throwing from bad angles. Todd

291
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Gurley missed clear holes and he was one of the

292
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: most unproductive running backs we've seen. But he also is

293
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: the same guy who Brian Boldinger said in the middle

294
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: of his rookie year, my mom could scout Todd Gurley.

295
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: His talent is that obvious. He had a hundred twenty

296
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: five or more yards and four his first four starts.

297
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: When you say he was compared to Reggie Bush, people

298
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: were much higher on Todd Gurley after his first month

299
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: in the league than anybody ever was on Reggie Bush.

300
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I think the talent is obvious, and I think he

301
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: You fix him by fixing what's around him and coaching

302
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: him up. Maybe maybe it came too easy, you know,

303
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: it came too easy, And I don't think I was

304
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: the only one that heard, you know, some whispers about

305
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: whether he came in as prepared for his second season

306
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: as as you would have liked, And so you couldn't

307
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: combine that with a totally unimaginative, terrible offensive UH line

308
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: and an offensive coaching staff, and it doesn't look well.

309
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: You know the problem is he didn't make people miss

310
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: in space, and that's not about the offensive line. So

311
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: when when everyone out didn't want to put any blame

312
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: on him, I'm like, I can see it. You know,

313
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: he's out there in space and he's getting tackled. Yeah.

314
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: Nobody respected the passing game either, so he didn't have

315
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: a shot there. And what he did, he couldn't find

316
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the holes like you said, West But also there were

317
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: so many turnovers and it was just I agree, it

318
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: was a freaking nightmare to watch them this season. Moving

319
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: on the Cleveland Browns, they are keeping Jamie Collins, the

320
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: player that they acquired in a trade with the New

321
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: England Patriots this season. The Browns have agreed to a

322
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: four year contract with Collins. The team announced Monday that

323
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: deal is worth fifty million, including twenty six million and

324
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: guarantees that some serious money. UH contract that eclipses using

325
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: Chris Westling's word, they're good good word. There was the

326
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: per year salary of Panthers linebacker Luke Keigley um and Greg. Obviously,

327
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots weren't hurt by the trade of James me

328
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Collins because they played even better on defense after we

329
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: left and are now in the Super Bowl. I would

330
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: be nice to have him. Did the Browns make the

331
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: right move here to give all this money to Jamie Collins.

332
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: I'd take Jamie Collins back for one game if they

333
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: could use him for the Super Bowl. I mean, Jamie

334
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Collins is talented, he's versatile, and the fact that he's

335
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna have Greg Williams as his defensive coordinator. I think

336
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Bode's well because that's a guy who likes to use

337
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: linebackers creatively. I think when Collins, I think Collins went

338
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: on the trade block because he wanted this contract and

339
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: he got it. So credit to his agent and credit

340
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: to the Patriots for knowing they weren't going to pay him.

341
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: And I guess assuming a late third round picks better

342
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: than the rest of the season to Jamie Collins. Yeah,

343
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: it's great for the Browns considering that, I mean, he's

344
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old. He could get another contract still

345
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: after this. They're going to have him for the prime

346
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: of his career probably, and they've they're able to use

347
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: him in so many different ways that they need him,

348
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: and if they could maybe have done it with a

349
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: trade later, but the fact that the Browns were able

350
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: to talk to him and have him there in the

351
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: building and sort of warm up to him and everything.

352
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that played so much an impact with the Browns.

353
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: It's it's worth noting that well, not just that they

354
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: were back, but that he was. His numbers weren't huge

355
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: right west And also he did get accused of the

356
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: freelancing in New England. And you wonder, if you if

357
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: the Browns remain in a losing culture, how he'll how

358
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: he'll perform in that type of setting. But to me, Weston,

359
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: this is a move the Browns had to make in

360
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: the sense that you gotta start building something and having

361
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: some playmakers, and he's a real playmaker. Whether or not

362
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: they know this is going to be the right deal

363
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: for him, this is the kind of move where I

364
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: really feel hamstrung by the distance we all are from

365
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins and the Patriots locker room in the Browns

366
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: locker room. His talent is obvious. And if you're the

367
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: Browns who are switching to a four three defense, which

368
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 1: he's perfectly suited for You have tons of salary, salary

369
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: cap space, but no Pro Bowl talents. Okay, extend him.

370
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: But do I feel good about an organization like the

371
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Patriots deciding he's not worth the money and that maybe

372
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: he's not a team first player and puts himself before

373
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: the team, whereas an organization like the Browns is all

374
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: too eager to give him the money. No, I don't

375
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: feel good about that. It's a little bit of a

376
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: red flag that that other that the Patriots want to

377
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: give up on, the other teams could have potentially traded

378
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: for him too, Like they this, you gotta assume this

379
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: is the best deal that they could get. Also, he

380
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: was out there and other teams chose essentially not to

381
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: go for it. It's also entered my mind that they

382
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: purposely sent him, They banished him to Cleveland instead of

383
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: send him to another place. All Right, you want to

384
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: be a pain in our butt, We're gonna send you

385
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: to the worst franchise in the league, like it's been

386
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: done before in NFL history. Many times, it seems crazy

387
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 1: he's making more than Keithley, But the reality is if

388
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: he got to the open market, now there's so much

389
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: cap space, everyone's gonna make an insane amount. I I

390
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: bet he would have made a lot more money if

391
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: he actually made it to free agency. If Olivia Vernon's

392
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: getting seventeen the years, Jamie Collins can't too all right,

393
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: there you go. Hey, we got some more to get to.

394
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: But I think it might be a good time to

395
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: bring it back, especially with Connie Fox in the studio.

396
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: How about we do a little bit of uh, I

397
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: don't know, Odds and Ends. It's time for odds and ends.

398
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: Odds and Ends. Hey, everybody tell your friends because it's

399
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: time for odds and ends. Hey, look at that. That

400
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: was beautiful. Did you write uh no, just a natural performer. Yeah,

401
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: there was a lot of dancing going on, there was,

402
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: there was, there was some of this. I wish there was,

403
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, a videos McGavin a little bit. It was

404
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: involved as you're not Joe Biden, he knows Rick Rubin

405
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: type producer. Note when we throw it back to you

406
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: at the end of Odds and Ends, get into it quicker, right. Yeah, Yeah, Well,

407
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was gonna be that short. Dan.

408
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: I thought, really my time was going to be Some

409
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: people can't handle constructive criticism. But I know you can.

410
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: I can right time for do you have a singing background? No?

411
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I thought you did great. Thanks and again, not too

412
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: much time. Too much time is passing. Let's do the

413
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: song again. No, no, no, no, Hey, everybody tell your

414
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: friends because it's odds and ends. All right, we're getting closer.

415
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: It's all right. We'll start with and Connie. I was

416
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: interested in your thoughts on this. Olivia Munn, who's the

417
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: girlfriend of Aaron Rodgers A penned a letter to Packers

418
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: fans after the NFC title game loss Um to the Falcons,

419
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: in which he thanked all the Packers fans for sending

420
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: their positive energy. Do you believe in positive and energy? Uh? Colleen?

421
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: And would you like your husband to send out a

422
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: note on your behalf after a personal setback? Um? No,

423
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: I I don't think I would like that, but I

424
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 1: guess it would be nice of him to do that.

425
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's just it doesn't feel old super

426
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: sincere to me. Um. I think the whole she's writing

427
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: it on a piece of paper with a pen um,

428
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: trying to add that special touch, but then she also

429
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: gets in a shot at the end of it. By

430
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: saying to all of you who are who encouraged and

431
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: supported them by choosing to put only positive energy help

432
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: them get this far. So basically, everybody who didn't do that,

433
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: you're done, You're out, You're gone. Yeah, I mean, life's

434
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: not all cupcakes and rose. Well it is here, here's

435
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: the bright side. By the way, for rogers and months,

436
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: they don't have to deal with two straight weeks of

437
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: the world asking about the family situation. Positive are they

438
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: creeping up on? Like the length of time Pam and

439
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: Roy were engaged? Why are they engaged? But how long

440
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: have they been together? Why aren't they married? Wow? West

441
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: putting pressure on somewhere. Let's dig into this and that?

442
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: How about that I lived in sin for four years

443
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: once and then eight years once eight By the way,

444
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: enough with the open letters. I don't even know if

445
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: this is an open letter. It's like on but writers,

446
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: writers out there, anyone using the open letter. It's over

447
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: enough for the open it's over the open letter, I agree,

448
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: moving on with odds and ends. Nobody else has a

449
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: thought on that. Just mat just the girl. You're just

450
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: asking the girl about the quarterback? Quickly, you know, woman's

451
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: march and now you're burying. I didn't need anything. I

452
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: just thought, you know, constructive criticism, Dan, I was all right.

453
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: I was unaware that that article existed. I would not

454
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: be like thrilled if Emily sent out a letter about

455
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: and round and round calm the bomb or something. So no. Um, alright,

456
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: moving on, Tom Brady UH started an Instagram account. UM.

457
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: He quoted the Hangover Greg rosenthal In in his UH

458
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: counter picture with the two quarterbacks, including our friend Jake Briskett.

459
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: Slice me off a piece of that, Jake brisk So

460
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: he used the old wolf Pack line from Zach Alfineckis

461
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: and the Hangover, which came out now eight years ago,

462
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: almost is the Hangover. So it's kind of a dad joke.

463
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: Is the Hangover the new Animal House for this generation?

464
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: For the off referenced comedy hit. I think you nailed it.

465
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what else it would be. I mean,

466
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: not for me. Old School's kind of like, yeah, they're

467
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: all like that. I feel like old School and an

468
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: anchorman or a notch above the Hangover as far as

469
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: quality of movie. Alright, So Uncle humor, so animal Uncle

471
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: just hitting animal Houses is uh? Old school dead? No,

472
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what are the new ones? Oh, Caddyshack is

473
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: Caddyshack is anchor man? Yeah, because it's actually good? Then, um,

00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: The first time it's ever been involved is dodgeball, which

488
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: you know could be interesting. I used to love dodgeball,

489
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,480

00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: are certain you could defeat everyone else in the room.

00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: have to be sure you're better than the rest of

500
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: the room. I'm sure parallel park like everyone thinks they're great.

501
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: I texted my wife asking what she thought because I

502
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: couldn't think of anything I'm good at, and parallel parking

503
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: was one of the things. She came up with me.

504
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: So who knows? And I can parallel park as well.

505
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: So there we go. Should we have a parallel parking

506
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: off to the YEA to the skills competition. That's got

507
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: to happen. We're doing, wes, What is your obscure skill?

508
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: I can pull my right shoulder out of socket anytime

509
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: I want. That's obscure. Also, I can put a stack

510
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: of coins on my elbow, flip it and catch it

511
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: with my hand. You better, Yeah, that's awesome. Really, yes, okay,

512
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: a large stack of coins. Um, it's just your arm

513
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: comes out of the socket. Out of socket right now,

514
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: No way, that's gross, West, that was weird. That was weird. Okay.

515
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it happened. Looks like I didn't even know what

516
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: was happening. There. It's out of socket right now. Okay, Okay, Well,

517
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: I can always tell when someone's wearing any new article

518
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: of clothing. I will pick it out and the person

519
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: will always be surprised. That's true. And you give it names.

520
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: It isn't obscured. They do give names. I got names.

521
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: I also can and this doesn't work when I'm drunk,

522
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: which is bad that a backfires in this spot. But

523
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: I can speak um at a voice level that is

524
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: high enough that anyone in my direct area can hear me.

525
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: But someone just out of ear shot. I know the

526
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: exact moment someone is out of ear shot where I

527
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: could speak, where I'm not whispering. I'm actually speaking, but

528
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: I know they're not hearing it. It's a pretty indie

529
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: skill set for a person of your habits, right, like

530
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: who likes to talk trash and people. How how do

531
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: you fire? How do you know how good they are hearing?

532
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Because people's hearings, you know, varies exactly. That's part of

533
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: the skill. It's very obscure. But it's most fun to

534
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: talk bad about people when you're drunk. Uh so in bars.

535
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: It has backfired in the past, But that's a that's

536
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: a skill that I have. I could also spin the

537
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: football on the ground, definitely longer than anyone here. That's

538
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: part of the skills challenge. Put it down market down

539
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: all right, Greg, you well, I'm suggested parallel parking, sports, gambling,

540
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: cutting lines, losing parking tickets. But I'm gonna go with

541
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that. I can bend my fingers

542
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: back to touch the back of their hands. Gross stuff. Wait,

543
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: what do you mean do it? I'm not looking whoa

544
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: that on? That? That is? Yeah? I feel like you're

545
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: missing something. Yeah, I'm missing missing some I forgot one.

546
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I can make a fifty yard field goal left footed,

547
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: in a thirty five yard field goal right footed. Wow, really,

548
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: it's on tape. How many tries do you need? It

549
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: was right before I left Tybee, so five years ago.

550
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: It's like the Andy Reid tape. I will give you

551
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars if you can do that on your

552
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: first try. I can nail a fifty yard field goal

553
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: on your first try. I mean I can kick it

554
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: far enough. I don't know if it'll go through this.

555
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: We're going to have a field day here. Um, Sydney,

556
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on the spot. Do

Speaker 1: you have any obscure skills? Um? I don't have any

558
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: gross obscure skills. But I remember lyrics like nobody's business.

559
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: And I also can remember names of celebrities, but not

560
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: names of people that I meet. So there's that. That's stuff.

593
00:31:54,200 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: into West's face, all right. Speaking of Ben Roethlisberger, I

594
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to quickly before we get Mark on the phone. Um.

595
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: I don't believe that he's gonna retire. So I thought, um,

596
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: just to kind of gauge where this fits in, uh,

597
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: in terms of what we should believe and not believe

598
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. I created this morning. Uh, the

599
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: QB believability scale. And what I'll do is are gonna

600
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: throw some different QB uh. Uh. You know, let's call

601
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: them hazy factual information about these quarterbacks. Tell me how

602
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: believable it is. Is it more believable or less believable

603
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: than Ben Roethlisberger ret hiring? Um? For here we go.

604
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: Brock Oswalder will sign a second contract with the Houston Texans.

605
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: What's more believable? More or less? Not? Restructuring contract penda

606
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: paper on a new contract? What is more believable that?

607
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: Or Ben? Ben's more believable. Yeah, he's not going to

608
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: sign a new contract. Andy Dalton will host a re

609
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: launch of Yo MTV. Rept Yes, oh my god, I

610
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: need that to happen. That's more believable. Well, you wanted

611
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: to happen. But is that Ben Roethlisberger retiring or MTV

612
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: raps Andy Dalton the face of that program. I feel

613
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: like Dalton would be a wrong No, people love redheads.

614
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: I agree with Colleen. That's more believable. Christian Hackenburg will

615
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: start a game for the Jets. That's not less believable. Yeah,

616
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: that's never happened. It's more likely that Ben Roethlisberger retime

617
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: than my second round pick will start up. Yeah, I

618
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: can't really disagree. R G three will rush for a

619
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: hundred yards in an NFL or CFL game, more or

620
00:33:52,840 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: less believable than Ben Roethlisberger retiring. Oh more more believing

621
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards that's a lot of yards. I could see

622
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: the same. I don't know if he'd make it to

623
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: YDS not moving this. Yeah, he could get injured like

624
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: Ben ben retiring. It's more believable than that Jackson was

625
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: his chance. They're going to draft someone. Andrew luck will

626
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: call a press conference to acknowledge that he kind of

627
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: looks and sounds like Andre the Giant more or less believable. Uh,

628
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: everyone knows he sounds like it already. He doesn't. Yeah,

629
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: but he'll acknowledge it. Yes, only for that he's not

630
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: going to address And he'll take like an hour of

631
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: questions about anything, and he'll get rid of He'll talk

632
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: about his book club. It'll be great. Blake Boardles will

633
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: suck of the football cogniscenti when the summer puff pieces

634
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: about his mentals, mental and mechanics makeover start rolling in

635
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: pent More believable. That's far more believable. That's expected. Mark's

636
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: going to write that article. He will, He'll write many

637
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: of them. Don't tell him that now. No. Derek Carr

638
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: will block half the Around the NFL podcast. Well, that

639
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: already happened. Actually, Uh. Jay Cutler will become the Terry

640
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Bradshaw of his generation on a major network studio show,

641
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: Guys Negative Charisma. Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Rodgers will be

642
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 1: friends again. Oh. Um. More believable that a bad story.

643
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 1: You're not putting a timeline on it. Life is It's

644
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: long good. They got a long timeline to figure this out.

645
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: Jared Goff will be selected to multiple Pro Bowls. Less

646
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:44,279
Speaker 1: less believable, Like collected or named as a replacement because

647
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: I saw like Stefan Gilmore just no actually name, so

648
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: he could be like the fourth fifth alternative and for

649
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: like ten Pro Bowls, And yeah, that's more believable. He's

650
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: an alternate than more believing people want to end. Jared

651
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: Goff's career was it was, it was one bad season,

652
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: So that's more believe he can turn it around. Alex

653
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: Smith has made a couple of Pro Bowls. He had

654
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: he had a similarly awful My my favorite UM Pro

655
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Bowl nugget was when and make sure you check out

656
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl only on ESPN. Yeah, um Antoni Gramardi

657
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: was um elected to the Pro Bowl, not selected or

658
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: got added to the roster when he finished like a

659
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: hundred and forty nine out of one and fifty one

660
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: ranked cornerbacks on Profo Ball. I can't wait for this game. Uh,

661
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: let's see a couple more. It's in the right city.

662
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: I'll just say that much Russell Wilson will be photographed

663
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: in public without any type of Bows product on his person,

664
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: that's less believable. Yeah, he's got like composite parts made

665
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: of Bows products. He is straight from bows, right, he

666
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: was manufactured by Bows to win Super Bowl and finally

667
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco will win a Tony Award. Wait didn't he

668
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: hasn't already acted in like the Johnny Unice movie. Wow,

669
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: look at West Tony Tony Awards for acting. That's for Broadway.

670
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 1: I thought that was singing. Oh yeah, he's gonna sing,

671
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna dance. It's gonna do it like his own

672
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: little la. I'm gonna go with more believable. I'm going

673
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: less less believe, definitely less he might. All right, there

674
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: you go. All right, that's the game. That was the

675
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 1: qub believability. I can't believe you don't have music for it. Yeah,

676
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: it was just something that happened. All right, Now it's time,

677
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: uh less sid if we can get on the horn. Uh?

678
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: Mr Gonzalez and Mr Cessler road tripping on their way

679
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: to Houston. Are you there? Mark Sessler? Hey, guys, I

680
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: am here. We are? Where are we? Just outside of Yuca, Arizona,

681
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: which is about five hours east of Los Angeles? Baby?

682
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: How all right? So what have you learned so far

683
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: about how on football connects with the American public? Very little?

684
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: But I will say that we just went to um

685
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: this very so that's it. I told you it was

686
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: a bad driver. Basically, John Gonzalas just yanked off the

687
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: road and he did. He made the right decision. There's

688
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: like a giant Epcot center like golf ball that he

689
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: explained to me that his mom lived in. This is

690
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: a The owner of this minimart said his mom lived

691
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: here for about twenty years in this giant golf ball

692
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of the desert, and they're now turning

693
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: it into a museum for government sponsored alien activities. And

694
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: we left pretty very soon after, but he was a

695
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: packers Fanza. Well, we missed the very beginning of that.

696
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: That's Gonzo's mother. No, not Gonzo's mother was on the

697
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: East coast, but actually the minimart owner of this store

698
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: that in this golf ball structure, his mom had lived

699
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: there for decades, and I don't understand how that came

700
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: to be. So so we we left an initial challenge

701
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: that you guys are dealing with, and I I would

702
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: have made the same mistake because I kind of figured

703
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: you were just going to drive through desert and see

704
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: the heartland or the the desert of the southwest of America,

705
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: but you're you're running into some weather issues and you're

706
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: not exactly prepared clothing wise. That's very true. I mean

707
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: we we're still in it's still relatively temperate now. Um,

708
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: we're in Arizona, but we're heading up into the mountains

709
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: to Flagstaff. We're a little bit out of moves where

710
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: it's the course we're on together where we need to go.

711
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: And someone sent us a photo of Flagstaff which is

712
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: under about three ft of snow. And like you know,

713
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 1: he's a very light packer, which I he is. He

714
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: is a light I'll fill I'll fill in the details here. Yeah,

715
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: packing a lot. He just brought a duffel bag. Um,

716
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what was inside of it. It could

717
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: have just been beer. Mark, you still with us. We're

718
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: at a loss, Mark. I think the alien got him.

719
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: Is that the last we hear? And Mark, let's try

720
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: to get them back on the phone because we still

721
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: need to find out what. Yeah, we gotta let's try

722
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: said to get him back on This could be a problem. Colleen.

723
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: Your husband is in this car, yes, and you love him, right,

724
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: you have any concerns about this? I have so many concerns.

725
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know permission to do this? No? Uh, Um,

726
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, you should definitely go, that's gonna

727
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: be great. And then last night I was like, wait,

728
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: you're going to Houston, and how how long are you

729
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: gonna be going for and who's walking the dogs? Who

730
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 1: would you say? Out of John and Mark is more

731
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: of an adult. Oh that's tough because John was watching

732
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: cartoons the other night on like Friday night by himself. Um,

733
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: so I feel like it's Mark because Mark takes care

734
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: of children, but John definitely takes care of dogs. So

735
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, in my world that's sort of like one

736
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: and the same, right you have them on kind of

737
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: like the same level. Yeah, Um, do we have any

738
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: luck getting marked back on so far soon? I just

739
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: got his voicemails, so good sign. Well, I just said,

740
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: don't get arrested. Do you think that that's going to happen?

741
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I had more questions asked. So

742
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: that's why I'm a little upset that where you were

743
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: not able, we can get back into a better area. Yeah,

744
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: I think they're going to Roswell. More likely to happen

745
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: on this trip, bad things in a snowstorm, bad things

746
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: legally or bad things to legally, probably legally that I

747
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: would go. Mark would like to be abducted by aliens,

748
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: so I would think that that would be okay with him.

749
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if John might be being abducted right

750
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: now by Mark. All Right, it doesn't look like we're

751
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna be able to get Mark. You can

752
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: follow their journey though, right, you can wear yeah um

753
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: while on Twitter road to Houston sponsored by bud Light.

754
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: And it's probably they're going to be taking videos and

755
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: maybe the network is going to use them in some capacity,

Speaker 1: time requirement, No, there isn't, Mark, There's nothing, and the

Speaker 1: a text rem Mark. M hmm. We just want to

774
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: total darkness. I've gotten that text from Mark. They had

775
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: some metaphoric sorry, bad phone for a hundred miles so far.

776
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: So okay, we we weren't able to get him, but

777
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: we will get him back on the line on Thursday.

00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: John and h and Mark Sesler. Okay, that's it. That's

780
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: how the show's gonna I mean, I'm really stressed out

781
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: about this now. I was not stressed at all. It

782
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: was like, this is great. You guys are gonna go

783
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: on a road trip. It's gonna be so much fun.

784
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it at all. I didn't

785
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: know Mark was a bad driver, so that's got me.

786
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: It sounds like Ganta is doing the driving. That's what

787
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: I heard. Yeah before they that makes sense. Well, Mark

788
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: smart enough to allow I think it's a rental yeah,

789
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: probably in Mark's name that John is driving. Is it

790
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 1: a rental that's capable of driving up a mountain? Because

791
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they were planning for that initially. A right, Yeah,

792
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: so we should stop speculating. Irresponsible. There's another you could

793
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: read into this, this text that Mark just sent me.

794
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: However you want, it's probably only going to go go

795
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: be worse from here. Stop it. You're making that up. No,

796
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: I know you're lying. I can tell you're lying. No,

797
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: he's talking about I think about this section. He's talking

798
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: about this. But now Colleen is nervous, kind of like this.

799
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,040

00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: super Bowl fifty one and maybe some of the matchups.

803
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,839
