Brady joins us on the program. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.840 Good morning, Brady, how are you. I'm doing well. Let 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.920 me just say that the glovin I'll miss him. Sad 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.959 to see you leave, m but you know, everyone's got 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:36.519 to got to move on at some point. You know, 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.520 well you were cut, you know you got yeah, yeah, 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.080 so you know what the feeling is like when the 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:48.839 team that you're with doesn't really want you around anymore. Yeah? Yeah, no, 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.040 And uh, you know, like I, like I told you 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.680 last week, you know, I had a nice we'll discuss 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.920 what by Ryan Realter, who was really upset about the 0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:00.200 whole situation the landboard. But no, it's uh, it's you know, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.920 sometimes it's gonna be a blessing in disguise. You know, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.880 when you get cut, do you get to grab your 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:11.000 jersey and take your Jersey. No no no. And the 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.280 worst part is is there's like a sentence that said, 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.119 and then everyone knows what's going to happen next. It's 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:23.960 usually coach wants to see you bring your playbook with you. 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.080 And I learned that when I first signed an agree 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.600 to my rookie deal with the Browns, and I remember 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.400 walking the locker room and as soon as I'm walking in, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.280 I heard one of our scouts that had gone and 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.520 said something to like one of the players. And at 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.119 that point in time, I really didn't understand like what 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.800 was happening, but like literally that transaction was just taking place, 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.040 and so that guy was getting cut to make moveing 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.000 the you know, make a room on the roster for 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.720 me to be there. And I've not never forgotten that sentence. 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.960 And that's why I always tell, like I told players 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.680 and like young kids this all all the time, because 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.160 you know, football doesn't last for everyone, but it's a 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.080 great game that teaches you a lot about life, and 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.720 so regardless of what level you know it ends for you, 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.440 just take your playbook with you. So try to take 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.640 you know, create like a positive spin on something that 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.639 that's pretty negative. All Right, A couple of things here 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.040 Before I talk about what's going on with the College 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.360 Football Playoff Committee and the possibility of forfeitures in the 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.560 national playoffs, how about this the team that should stick 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:36.040 with its quarterback Miami, Indie, Philly, the Niners, Washington for 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.600 next year. I mean, what's what's the context of the question? Yeah, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.000 like you're said at the position. Honestly, I feel like 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.400 all of them, with the exception of Washington and Washington 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.519 like the interesting one to me where I think you 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.240 go back before the season and I'm still kind of questioning, like, so, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.320 what was the plan? Like Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.440 be the guy, and that was just how I was 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.440 going to go And yeah, maybe they battle for the 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.040 NFC East, maybe not, But I just given his age 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.840 and what's they're what's they're selling if that's if that's 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.520 the decision you're making, you know. So I haven't really 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.239 understood that whole plan to begin with. And so that's 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.440 the one thing, like one team assuredly that I can 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.760 tell you he's gonna be looking for a quarterback in 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.760 the offseason. The rest of them, I think they've all 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.560 got young guys who I think you need to give 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.160 more more time to yeah, because we got to move 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:30.520 on from Jimmy Garoppolo. You know, I look at that 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.560 situation though, just from the small windows we had to 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.720 see Trey Lance, and he's not ready and and and 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.640 Garoppolo is still has a year left on his deal. Now, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.880 granted they can release him, and I think the dead 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.640 caps like one point four or something like that, but 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.320 that might be a scenario where and I'm not trying 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.040 to compare Jimmy Garoppolo to Aaron Rodgers, but you know, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.920 we saw Jordan Love initially, like, all right, he needs 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.120 a little more work too, He needs some more development too. 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.600 Trey Lance is a similar boat. And as long as 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.920 Jimmy Garoppolo is healthy, he plays a winning style of football. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.600 You know, you can't take that away from him. He's accurate, 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.400 he doesn't really turn on the football too much. He's 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.040 not gonna buy time to create a bunch of plays 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.160 and all that, but he's able to help, you know, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.400 this team win football games. And so I just I 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.480 don't see a reason to move off and then so fast, 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.240 especially considering some of the bad years that Kyle Shanahan 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:21.920 and John Lynch have experienced. Like do you really want 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.160 to go through those growing pains again. Yeah, with a 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.080 younger quarterback, just because where you drafted them. Well, I 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.680 look at Philly and I like Jalen hurt So I 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.720 just think they have to decide if they're going to 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.279 build around him. Indeed, they can't get out from underneath 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.120 Carson Wentz's contract right now, Miami, I'd have second thoughts 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:42.640 about making that trade for Deshaun Watson because you can 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.719 use those draft picks and make yourself a better team. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.960 And I think Tua has played well enough to maybe 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.320 hold on to that the Niners. Eventually they have to 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.359 move on with Garoppolo and Trey Lance in the on 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.279 deck circle in Washington certainly. So Philly might be the 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.360 one team that I would say, out of all of them, 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.720 like it feels like they're a little more set than 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.919 anybody else. I feel like every single one of those 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.200 situations with their quarterback that is unique. Like one of 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.200 the things I'll say about Jalen Hurts from following him 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.080 from Alabama to Oklahoma and then the NFL is that 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.400 young man's gotten better and better and better the more 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.600 he's played. And I really thought he took a job 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.359 from the frustrations that we would hear from Nick Saban 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640 in the spring game when he's miked up, you know 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.560 about you know, throwing the football and not playing more 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.120 from the pocket, because then doing that at Oklahoma to 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.320 a degree and then continuing to get better at that 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.760 at the NFL level. I just think he's the type 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.280 of kid that the more he plays, the better he's 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.720 gonna get. And I think he likes challenges. I think 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.160 he likes, you know, the way Nick Serrano him, the 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.720 report they have, and so he's the type of guy 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.800 that even if you do build out around him and 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.520 you find out two years from now, like what his 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.040 ceiling is, it's just not for you. You know, you're 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.200 still going to have that team set up though for 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.280 whoever the next guy is going to be to have success. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.080 You know, then you look at Miami, you know the 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.440 way to it's on. Van Lowe was handled last year 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.160 and this year. I just don't know how you can 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.680 sit there and look at him and say like he's 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.400 you've really gotten a clear picture of, you know, what 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.279 he's capable of being, because he kept jerking him in 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.320 and out and it never made any sense to me 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.000 last year and the offensive line that they've rebuilt is 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.479 finally starting to mess a little bit better. But you know, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.240 by a large part, they haven't had much of a 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.080 consistent running game, and so you know, his accuracy is 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.039 obviously one of the best in the league. He's been 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.720 able to make some plays. I know people talking about 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.640 I'm not having the strongest arm, but he can still 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.880 make all the throws. So I'm kind of more of 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.880 a believer too, and just seeing what he is at 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.960 least next year, unless you really do feel like you 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.200 can get a better quarterback via a trade and with 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.719 us Deshaun Watson or anyone else. But obviously with Deshaun Watson, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.160 there's a lot of potential baggage that could come along 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:49.600 with that, and that's obviously the risk I think for 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.479 any team that's look and say, all right, can't we 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.400 get better than this? Or should we continue to build 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.280 him with what we have. For rookies made the Pro Bowl, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.880 if we redrafted, what order would they go in? Michael Parsons, 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:07.120 Jamar Chase, Kyle Pitts, Rashaan Slater. I mean, are we 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.680 putting a premium on the position, because yeah, I mean, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.080 the thing about Michael Parsons as good as he's been 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.200 this year is like Dallas lucked into that position right 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.040 due to the the injuries and all that. So if he 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.440 could redraft it, he's probably going first overall with the 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.520 way he played. Now, I mean, maybe that sounds like 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:29.080 it's um maybe that sounds like controversial to a degree, 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.000 but the reality is you could put him up for 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.920 Defensive Player of the Year and he might win it. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.800 And I don't know there's there has been any player 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.560 that's impacted a team or at least the side of 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.280 the football more so than Michael Parsons this year. So 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:41.800 I think you would be the first one you take 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.720 off the board. Yeah, or Saunds later doesn't get enough 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.840 credit because he's a tackle. Yeah, you know, we don't. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.040 We don't look at what he does and we say, oh, like, 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.040 this guy has been playing at a high level. He's 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.520 been as good as probably most tackles in the league 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.240 this year as a rookie. So I'd probably say second. 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.520 And especially when you've got a guy like Herbert he's protecting, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.120 you know, Chase would probably be third. I think he's 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:08.280 been everything that was advertised advertised, And you know who's 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.160 the fourth Kyle Pitts. Yeah, I mean the problem is 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.960 as good as Pitts has been at the tight end position, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.480 you know, that seems just got so many issues, so 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.080 many holes, and it's gonna be hard him to turn 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.240 things around. But to me, between Chase and Pitts, I 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.040 think Chase is at the bigger impacts for the two 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.760 pass catchers. Talking to Brady Quinn, former Notre Dame quarterback, 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:31.120 NFL quarterback and of course works for Fox Sports, I'm 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.040 trying to figure out this college football playoff policy that 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.840 was written this week. Why they're putting it out now 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.840 kind of boxes them them in. But you know they're 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.319 talking about if one of the four semifinalists is unable 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:49.440 to participate because of a COVID outbreak, the unavailable team 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.000 will forfeit its opponent will advance to the national championship. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.600 If both teams are unavailable to play in a semifinal game, 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.720 it would be declared a no contest and the winner 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.679 of the other semifinal game would be declared the national champion. 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.319 The I guess you know the national title game is 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.720 January tenth, and it can be pushed back to no 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.959 later than January fourteenth, are they trying to scare these teams, 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:19.480 these players, Like, give me the logic behind this. I 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.240 don't know. I don't know if there's much logic to it. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.679 I mean, I think maybe Cincinnatis some are hoping and 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.760 praying that everyone gets COVID and be able to be 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.040 the player of the champion, right. I mean, that's that's 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:31.480 the only thing that makes sense to me and this 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.040 whole thing. But the reality is, I don't know why 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.360 they just can't reschedule or push it back. I get 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.520 their semi final bowl games. There's a lot that goes 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.000 into the preparation for these. It's not like you know, 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.200 your typical regular season game. There's a lot more that 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.839 goes into the hotels and the people flying in and everything. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.360 How it's books Like, I understand all of that, but 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.120 there has to be some degree of this is for 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.200 a national championship. You know, we we we'd like this 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.280 thing to play itself out. I also wonder, like what 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.319 that burden is where a team decides it's going to 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.679 declare it's gonna have the forefeit because of COVID cases. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.120 This isn't the NFL. You have more than forty six 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.160 active players that can play in a game. Right, you've 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.559 got one of eighty five scholarship players on the most teams, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:19.400 whatever the case is. But one hundred players in the team, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.880 you can field a team. It just may not be 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.760 all your starters if that ends up being the case. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.320 So I'm not sure really what the point is outside 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.079 of maybe motivating all the teams to get boosters. But 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.640 even in that event, I don't know that that that 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.080 provides them any additional protection, like we see at the NFL, 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.280 where if players are vaxed, if they're asymptomatic, they're not 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.920 gonna get tested. It's only if they're tested. If they 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.320 were implementing a policy similar to that, then it would 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.440 make sense to you know, sense for me to say, okay, 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:48.800 like you know, some of these teams, like any Michigan's 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.920 gonna get they're all gonna get boosters together as a team. Well, 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.360 if they're incentivized to do so, because as long as 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.880 the kids are asymptomatic, they're gonna let them play. That'd 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.880 be one thing. But to the best of my knowledge, 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.920 that hasn't been a statement that they've made, So I'm 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.240 not sure if they just feel like because of all 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.960 the dues coming out with this particular variant that they're saying, 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.960 we need to get it out there what our plans 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.880 are so people aren't shocked by it. Maybe that's part 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.160 of it, but I just you know, I'll be really 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.120 curious to see if these teams can kind of hold 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.679 on or if Cincinnati somehow and I've not even have 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.000 to play another game and winning a national championship, which 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.360 would be pretty interesting to see that. You know. The 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:32.280 reaction to that, who's your pick to win it all? Well? 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.200 I think Bryce Young, which I've been kind of pounding 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.160 the payment for him all year. He's one of the 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.679 best quarterback counts like I've ever seen, and so it's 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.400 hard to pick against Bama just for that reason. Wait, wait, 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.640 would you put Bryce in there with Joe Burrow and 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:53.000 Justin Herbert and likely as far as talent wise, yes, 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.839 Like the four types of throws he can make and 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.520 how he plays the game as a young player in 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:04.000 college football is unbelievable. I said it before the year started. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.960 I said I told everyone back in the spring to 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.000 take the betting advice. He's gonna win to Heisman. Here's 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.280 the other one. He's gonna be the first two time 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.240 Heisman winner. Now the only thing that would stand his 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.720 way as an injury or if he just decides to 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.880 balance after next year, that's that's really it, because I 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.520 think he's talented enough to win to I don't know 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.120 if he'll be in college football long enough to do it, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.079 but he's that good of a player, and so it's 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.280 hard to pick against Bama and their tracker and all 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.040 that for that reason. But my anticipation is you're gonna 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:36.080 see Georgia and Alabama playoff again for the national championship 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.080 unless everyone gets covid um, and I think it's gonna 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.600 be hard to beat a team twice, and I think 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.800 that's where you maybe see Georgia finally get over the 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.480 hump and they end up winning the nation Championships when 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.360 it's all said and done. But I just it's hard 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.760 to bet against that kid. The way he moves around 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.160 the pocket, the way you can create plays utilize his legs. 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.440 He's as accurate as as you'll see. So I'm a 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.800 huge Bryce Young fantasy. I'm sure you can tell Brady. 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.600 Thanks as always, Merry Christmas to the family, and we'll 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.560 talk to you in the new year. Yeah.

Great to have you 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.920 back on the program, Michael. I'm curious what it's like 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.079 when you go, you and your wife go to a 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:52.840 Christmas party and somebody's got a piano there. What happens? 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.760 It's just it's forget about the Christmas party. What about 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.680 the shopping mall for the elevator? Oh, the funeral home? 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.600 When wait, when you hear your music, Well yeah, that's 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:08.520 a scary place. You don't want to hear the elevator, 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.000 that's for sure. But that I mean everybody. I just 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.400 went and bought stuff to my wife for Christmas. You know. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.640 Of course the last minute shop or just panicking, you know, 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.920 what do I get? And of course you don't. People 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.720 see me and say, like, can you sing that one? 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:27.040 Do like jingle belt? But with my personality though, you know, 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.760 I'm in the middle of that bathroom beyond going jingle bell, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:35.760 jingle bell, jingle all the way. Kevin Bacon said that 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.880 he hates going to a reception, a wedding reception, because 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.400 everybody thinks he's gonna dance like he did in Footloose, 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.680 Like come on, hey, come on, Kevin, dance like you 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.440 did in foot Loose. There. Yeah, if I could dance 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.320 like Kevin, I probably would. I probably would be dancing. Yeah. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.000 But if he could sing like you, then he would 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:58.960 be singing yeah, probably Yeah. Where's the strangest place though 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.080 you've been asked, like, you know, to sing a song? 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.080 You know? Weirdly? I think it was my Grammar's funeral 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.240 and I was really emotional. I was devastating, you know. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.520 I was just a big day for all of us. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.080 And this sweet woman that we had hired in catering, 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.520 this nice Italian lady, came up to me as I 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.320 exited the bathroom, you know, and she said, you sing 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:27.040 a song. Yeah, you're doing it sing home and you know, 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.560 again in my personality, I say, like, I don't know 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:35.160 what this is? What is the What is the one 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.320 song that somebody else sings that you wish was yours? 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.880 Oh God, it's a great question, man. There's so many, 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:49.200 I think. I mean, I think God only knows. Uh, 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.360 the is one of the I mean, it's one of 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.640 those beautiful songs ever written. So the Beach Boy, I 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.680 wish it was mine. I wish half the edge hearing 0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:01.120 songs that he wrote were mine. Sometimes fantasize about just 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.360 you know, going back in time and just stealing them. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.920 You know, But do you do you do covers? You have? 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.600 I mean you're a very humble guy. Like you know, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.600 a lot of artists don't want to do covers of 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.720 somebody else, but you have no problem with no. I do. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.000 You know, it's weird. I live in a very weird 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.120 you know what it's weird. I lived in a very 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:25.160 strange place as an artist because I I am. I 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.720 cover songs. I mean I do what say Sinatra did 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.880 or Presley, you know, I take these songs and I 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:35.120 reinterpret them the Great American Songbook. But my biggest successes 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.480 have been songs that I've written. I've been the pop songs, 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.560 which is very weird for people to try to put 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.240 me in a box because what am I Because those 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:48.240 guys Dean or Frank or Tony Bennett, they didn't write songs. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.120 They didn't have pop songs on the radio, So why 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.200 do you? You know what I mean? It's very strange 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.880 to have to explain, especially if people don't know. They 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.400 don't understand the same guy who wrote Haven't Met You Yet? 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.000 Or Everything or Home is the same guy who's doing 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:07.200 Feeling Good or Come Fly with Me? Who's tougher to cover? Though, 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.720 if you look at those guys that you met, like 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:14.360 is Sinatra tough to cover? It's never the artist. It's 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.320 more about the song and the history of the song, 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.520 and who's had a part in the history of the song. 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.520 You know That's it's funny I find it. I don't 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.080 find it easy to write songs. It's challenging to write 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.720 a good so obviously everybody could do it if they could. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.480 But when I write a song, it's original and no 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.000 one can compare it to anything. When I cover Come 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.160 Fly with Me, you're now dealing with the song that's 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.360 been tackled by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, you know, Conic, 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.840 There's there's all these, all of these, so it's, you know, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.720 it's weird. I think that's what I'm best at. I think, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:51.880 if anything, forget about singing or that part of reinterpreting 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:56.000 it as a as a vocalist. I think what I'm 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:01.840 best at is conceptualizing and coming up with um ideas 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.480 to make a song fresh and sort of almost very 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.840 cinematic ideas within the arrangement, like to say something like 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.399 Primier River. I don't know if you've ever heard my 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.200 version of Primier River, but Primier River is a great song. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:15.879 But it took I was, you know, I think I 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.080 was in the having a bath or something, and I 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.000 had come up with this line bum bum bumpum fum 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:27.280 bum sum sumum bumum sumumum sumum sumummum singing and this 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.720 big dramatic build, and when I took it to the producer, 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.080 I sang it to him. He right away he understood 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.399 the conference and like I said, it was very cinematic. 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.440 It was almost like a James Bond esque build and 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.159 you could feel the drama and I knew for my 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.040 show would be a great way to open the show. 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:46.240 And so that is the challenge is taking something that's 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.680 been done so many times and making it sound brand new. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.399 And you know you've done it when you take a 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.840 song and it's a standard that's been there for sixty 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.719 years or eighty years and people say, I love you know, 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.240 I love that you wrote this thought or whatever that 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.040 you know, they'll tell me. They'll say like I loved 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.520 so I think like feeling good. You know, they'll say like, wow, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.480 I love the way you know you wrote feeling good. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.840 It's amazing, And of course I'll say thank you, but 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:14.760 you as opposed to I didn't write that. Do you 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:19.439 have to ask for permission to cover of song? No, 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.800 you don't. You don't have to ask. And what's weird 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.400 or is like so it's happened to me? So years 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.119 ago I wrote a song called Home and it was 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:29.320 good for me. It went number one on this format 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:32.520 of radio and HDY or whatever. And then Blake Shelton, 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:36.119 the country singer, he covered it and he had a 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.040 number one that was bigger than my number one, and 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.680 he had his number one was in country radio. Across 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.960 the pond, a band called Westlife had a number one 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.080 with it. They called the record home and so people 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.399 kept coming up to me and saying, I love that 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.439 cover of Leftist Moment where I loved that place and 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.960 the same thing was happening. I was say, no, I 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.520 wrote that that's mine. But what do you get paid 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:05.040 off of that? A ton? Oh? Good for you? Good 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.040 Lake Shelton keep listening to Blake Shelton told them at 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.440 what are those checks like though? When they come in 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:18.280 that is there a reference to where the money's coming from? Yes, 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.720 there definitely is there. They's all broken out. It's weird 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.720 now because of the way that streaming is. I mean, 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.080 isn't your Is your world changed with streaming? How much 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:34.160 is your world Changemuner podcast the digital like, we had 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:40.320
