Speaker 1: corona today for the Friday Happy Hour. But we're also

87
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: finishing up our NFL preview because you know what happened,

88
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: but we were recording Laugh with Me, and then what

89
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: happened was I had to do a fantasy football draft,

90
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: and then you know that we were hungry. We go

91
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: eat dinner, and then you know, here we are. We

92
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: had not discussed the AFC West, the most important division

93
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This is the final of the NFL

94
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: preview here on Laugh with Me. And just to remind

95
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: you on why you should listen to us for your

96
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: NFL preview, it's because one between the two of us,

97
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: we've won many, many, many fantasy football championships. We've been

98
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: to many, many, many NFL football games in our time.

99
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: We've watched many NFL games in our time. In some

100
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: really bad games too, but but some really good games.

101
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I.

102
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: Know on Wednesday. You know I talked about that that

103
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night in k CMO. But there was a magical

104
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: night or afternoon in Minneapolis where we saw one Adrian

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: Peterson set the single game rushing record against the Chargers.

106
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: So we all saw the longest play in NFL history.

107
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: Same game, yep, same game. So that was pretty incredible,

108
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: and that's exactly why you should follow us for your

109
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: NFL advice. So we're gonna break down the AFC West

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: in the only way we know how, which is uh

111
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: long winded. Yeah, we would we always start here, you

112
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: would start. Let's start with the Denver Broncos.

113
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: Well, I thought we were gonna start with the worst

114
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: team first.

115
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,799
Speaker 1: Oh, the Las Vegas Raiders.

116
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: No, no, no, the worst team.

117
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, my gosh, you're not talking

118
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: about the Chargers.

119
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: The Chargers. The Chargers have to be the worst team

120
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: in the division.

121
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: You gotta be shitting me right now, because the Chargers.

122
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: First of all, we have a brand new head coach

123
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: who's not running away from college. Who's not brand new,

124
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: and he's not running running away from college. Nobody runs

125
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: from college. You graduate. He got a national championship in

126
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: his last year at Michigan. He's just had success, success, success,

127
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: and every season he had at Michigan. Finally gets the

128
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: national championship and decides to right off in the sunset

129
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: and say you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

130
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: go and win a Super Bowl. Now he's been to

131
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: the big game before, okay, when he formerly was the

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: head coach of the San Francisco forty nine ers. Now

133
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: he's looking to final lie that dream with the Los

134
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers, and he has won. Justin Herbert a quarterback.

135
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: He loves a quarterback. You know Herbert is dead. What

136
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: do you mean he's dead.

137
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 2: I thought he was hurt.

138
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: No, he had a little foot that he wore the

139
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: boot for weeks. He's good, he's good to go.

140
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,239
Speaker 2: He's like a weaker Joe Burrow.

141
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: He's he's a Joe. Why are we even mentioning Joe Burrow.

142
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Justin Herbert's like the perfect quarterback. Like

143
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: when Harball goes to sleep, he thinks of Justin Herbert.

144
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: Not being it, Like he thinks that Justin Herbert throwing

145
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: the ball. But in his dream, he doesn't need to

146
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: worry about where that ball goes. He doesn't need to

147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: worry about catching that ball.

148
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: No, which is which maybe that may be reality because

149
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: they really unloaded. I mean we're on the depth chart

150
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: for the Charges right now. There's three wide receivers listed

151
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: and it's as an or, you know, because that means

152
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: they're all fight receiver one and that's never a good

153
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: place to be. But Josh Palmer should be, you know,

154
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: a solid guy, been around for a few years. So

155
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: Herbert's very comfortable him. Quintin Johnston, he's, you know, last

156
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: year number one, he was our first round draft pick

157
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: and he years ago, you know, last year, he was

158
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: rookie last year, Yeah, and he didn't he didn't quite

159
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: live up to expectation. But you know what, he's got

160
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot to prove this year and he could be

161
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the guy. And then of course you've got McConkie who's

162
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: out of Georgia and he's a guy that I think

163
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: can fill the shoes of one Keenan Allen this year.

164
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: So a lot to prove for these guys.

165
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how I feel about you putting that

166
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: much pressure on McConkey.

167
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Keenan Allen, he's a legend out there in

168
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: LA but went healthy, went healthy, but he's in Chicago

169
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: down so we have to move on. But the defense

170
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: is going to be good, you know what I do

171
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: like about the defense is going to be really good.

172
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: You don't agree with that.

173
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: I've got questions. I got questions on both sides of

174
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: the ball.

175
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: There both sides. Yeah, we've got the two best running

176
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: backs that have ever played in Baltimore.

177
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the off injured. No, it's yeah. I The tough

178
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: thing with looking at the AFC West is you didn't

179
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: stop me when we were going through the worst teams

180
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: in the division. Because the fact will be that the

181
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: the Chargers will have company in the kind of mediocre

182
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: level like the Denver does not seem like a threat.

183
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: The Raiders are not going to be a threat, and

184
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: so you have the Chargers in there, and so you know,

185
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: maybe a small improvement by Harbaugh maybe stopping the Chargers

186
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: from chargering. You know, yeah, you get a winning season,

187
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: maybe for a wild card or something like that.

188
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: But you're telling me right now there's no chance that

189
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: they can. They threatened the Chiefs to win this division.

190
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not gonna say no chance because I mean,

191
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: God forbid, Taylor Swift gets hurt, right yeah, and you

192
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: know is not able to you know sw Yeah, yeah,

193
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: I mean once that goes, then the plot armor goes

194
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, and you know that they start losing

195
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: some games.

196
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Is it true she's right in place for them now?

197
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 2: I mean she might as well be. Could you imagine

198
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: just if you saw, like just even if they had

199
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: her on the sideline with just a place sheet and

200
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: she's like covering her mouth like you can tell that

201
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: she's talking into a microphone. Like I read like that

202
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: would be a population catastrophe for the country because I

203
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: feel like there'd be about thirty thousand people that's heads

204
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 2: would just explode.

205
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, rage, A lot of people would be upset, but

206
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: a lot of new fans in the NFL would just

207
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: absolutely eat that up.

208
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: That was one of the better jokes when she first

209
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 2: came in there. They were like, let's give the Swifties,

210
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 2: you know, let's give the Swifties a couple of weeks

211
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 2: with you know, motion offense, with this kind of play

212
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: calling and just let them, you know, permeate through the

213
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: numbers and figure out which one's the best. But you know,

214
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: it's tough to see a path forward for for the Bolts.

215
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: It's likely the Chiefs win another AFC West championship. They're

216
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: obviously the best team in the division. They're you know,

217
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions and they look prepped to

218
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: make another run at it. The Chargers, you know, new

219
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: coaching staff, offensive identity, who knows the defense, same old story,

220
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: probably just different scheme. The special team, we got Tacker

221
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: the kicker. But the thing is if we can eliminate

222
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: the Chargering, Yeah, this is a team prepared to at

223
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: least make the playoffs.

224
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: So and this was something I probably would have tied

225
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: in more. You know, we've started off the show on

226
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 2: Wednesday talking about the Vikings, like, hey, how do the

227
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: Vikings look going forward?

228
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: Right?

229
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 2: And honestly, that was one of the questions that I

230
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: wanted to pose you at that time, was just like,

231
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: all right, well, who has that better shot, because honestly,

232
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: it feels like they're in very similar situations where they're

233
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: definitely not the favorite in their division. Right, you can

234
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: see the path forward like they have. Both teams have

235
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: established starters that will still be good this year, but

236
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: at the same time, they are very much in youth movement.

237
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 2: We're clearing the deck out. What do we have left? Like,

238
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: let's bring these guys up. So yeah, and the Chargers,

239
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: you know, yeah, you've got Bosa, You've got Herbert, You've

240
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: got these guys. That are going to be more your stabilities.

241
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. But but so I think people forget we have

242
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: not just Joey Bosa. We've got Derwin James, We've got

243
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. Like there's there's guys on that defensive side

244
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: that are really, really good. But it was leaky at

245
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: times and we would just It's almost like when it

246
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: got to a big third down and we needed to stop,

247
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: like that was impossible, Like whatever bet we threw down

248
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: was going to lose. And if they can eliminate that,

249
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, we're there's gonna be a difference there. And

250
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: and on the offensive side, I have a feeling we're

251
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: going to see more running game than we've ever seen

252
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: from Herbert ran offense. And that's okay. I think that's

253
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: going to maybe open some things up for Herbert. He's

254
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: still gonna get his numbers. So it's like all right,

255
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: so from there, you know, maybe that makes it a

256
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: difference in the gameplay.

257
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: You know, one of one of the most things. They're

258
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 2: one of the most things. One of the most things.

259
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah you're an English major.

260
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well it's happy hour.

261
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, English doesn't matter.

262
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: One of my big pet peeves. I think in the NFL, though,

263
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: is like, you guys, bring in great Roman, be that

264
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator.

265
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

266
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: After basically he gets run out of like Baltimore being

267
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: like you're the reason that you are what was holding

268
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: Lamar back, but you left Lamar won an MVP. The

269
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: offense was unstoppable.

270
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: Yep, and now we give him Justin Herbert.

271
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, now you bring him into it's just like

272
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: why is he getting the job? Like that's where it

273
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: almost makes sense, like the McVeigh coaching tree, where it was,

274
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: you know, he has that success and then all of

275
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: a sudden, it's just like anybody who's ever even said

276
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: hi to him? Yeah, yeah, what'd you do for McVeigh?

277
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I polished the jockstraps, Like great, Where

278
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: you're our new offense coordinator?

279
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: Isn't that why Scott Frost is going to work for

280
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: ye for another game?

281
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, you gotta start at the bottom, you know. Yeah,

282
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: and he's gonna do it for free because he's already

283
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: rich thanks to the State of Nebraska.

284
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So the Bolts, I don't.

285
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: Know, there's a question. There's the question who's gonna have

286
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Who's going to have that success? First between the Bolts

287
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: and the Vikings. Do either one of them have a

288
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: chance and which one has the edge in your mind

289
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: right now?

290
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: This season it's the Bolts. I think we're prepared to

291
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: actually not only have a five hundred plus season, but

292
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and then you never know once you're

293
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: in the tournament, who knows he is? Whoever's hot? Right well?

294
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: And I mean that was what we talked about the competition,

295
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: but I don't think never never and the Raiders should

296
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 2: be easier than the Vikings playing the Bears, Lions and Packers.

297
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,239
Speaker 1: But it just seems like the AFC West is always

298
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: like if you're playing, you know, you're gonna play the

299
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Broncos twice, probably split. You're gonna play the Raiders twice,

300
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: probably split. I mean, some teams would be you're gonna

301
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna play the Chiefs, you know, you hope to split,

302
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Like it seemed like that was always kind of how

303
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: that division was. And there's no true bottom feeder, even

304
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: though there's teams that are really really bad, you know,

305
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: like they're they're gonna get their three you know, wins

306
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: in division even though they're really bad teams. But the Bolts,

307
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think they're a team that could

308
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: surprise some people. But and Herbert would be a big

309
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: part of that. I'm not I'm not, I don't know.

310
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't think this is like we we're gonna have

311
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a top ten draft pick next year type of team. Yeah,

312
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: so I'm I'm definitely hoping we can, you know, make

313
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: a run out the Chiefs. But it's probably the Chiefs Division.

314
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: But like you're saying, the Broncos and Raiders, I mean,

315
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: when do you I don't know. That's not gonna that's

316
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: not gonna be anything.

317
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: That's you know, the Broncos. I mean there's still they

318
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 2: have still fifty three million on the cap this year.

319
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: How much that's Russell Willis Russell Wilson.

320
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: That's dead cap space from the Russell Wilson deal.

321
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: So they are Is that why John Elway quit?

322
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: That's they're literally playing with like one arm tied behind

323
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: their back.

324
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: That's the way Sean Payton likes. He learned that normal.

325
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you know, somehow Sean Payton, you know, tricked

326
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: the Vikings into taking McCarthy even though he didn't want McCarthy. Man,

327
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: That dude, I don't know. Yeah, that dude's like the

328
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: ultimate troll, like MacArthur Peyton. Yeah, he just he loves

329
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: just trolling fan bases, trolling reporters and that kind of stuff.

330
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: It's like everyone has a hobby. Yeah, yeah, you like

331
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: hot wings. He likes the you know.

332
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 2: You like hot wings. He likes to put ranch on him,

00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 2: like screw that guy.

334
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: He does awesome.

335
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's I mean, Denver's covered just seemed kind

336
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: of bare.

337
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they are. That's okay, I'm gonna let them

338
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: kind of just simmer.

339
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 2: Did you watch the Receiver show on Netflix?

340
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: Is it good?

341
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty entertaining.

342
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: No, who's in it that is relevant to this?

343
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 2: Well, so, I mean the main the main guys in

344
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: there that they focus in on are going to be

345
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson, Debo Kittle, I'm and Ross Saint Brown. And

346
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: then their fifth guy is DeVante Adams with the Raiders,

347
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: and so his his season arc is all around how

348
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, he's the He's an alpha wide receiver who

349
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: has no quarterback to throw the ball to him.

350
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I love that that's the story so.

351
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: Well, And you gotta love the fact that, hey, the

352
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: Raiders solution to the problem was Gardner Minshew, he's still

353
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: a solution to the to them, we got this, we

354
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: got this pissed off you alpha that's out there.

355
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a what do they call the

356
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: traveling uh Carney.

357
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, replacement level player here.

358
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: But that's the thing. He's a guy that on any

359
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: given Sunday is going to beat you or on like

360
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: a Thursday night, you know what I mean, Like, you know,

361
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: he's going to get an upset on a game that

362
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: just has no business winning for whatever reason.

363
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of dobs energy.

364
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. Where's Dobbs playing now? Hopefully the

365
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback with the Vikings. No, he's not with the Vikings.

366
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had that in my head. Uh. I wanted

367
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 2: to say Arizona there for a second, but.

368
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: That was last happy hour. There's a lot in the head.

369
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: Nothing coming out.

370
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we didn't prepare for this, We.

371
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: Really didn' We're talking about the AFC West with nothing.

372
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean we're banking on you carrying a conversations.

373
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: I think I have tell us, tell us.

374
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: Why these teams beat the Chargers year in here?

375
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 1: Little charging that's about it. Oh, it's terrible. I do

376
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: think we got a shot this year, though, I feel

377
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: good about it. And this is you know, before game one,

378
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: but I feel I feel I feel pretty good about them.

379
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: Like Mahomes is mad that Kelsey ran the wrong route

380
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: in preseason, so we threw it behind the back pass

381
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: that was caught by Kelsey for yeah, a big game,

382
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: Like that's what you're going up against.

383
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: What we need is like, we need a big scandal

384
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs, like bigger than they had this offseason,

385
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: because obviously that didn't do anything.

386
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 2: Would you need I mean, Herbert needs to start dating Beyonce.

387
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: He yeah, that would help, but then poor jay Z.

388
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 2: I mean it would be a scandal.

389
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: No, that would be a scandal. Yeah, you're right, Oh yeah,

390
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: but then it would be we would.

391
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: Have maybe it'd be totally la.

392
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: All right, So here think about it. Here's here's the dilemma,

393
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: and this is what would come down the road if

394
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: that was the case. Okay, Herbert's dating Beyonce. Obviously that's

395
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: a problem because Beyonce is married to jay Z. Jay

396
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: Z executive produces the halftime show for the Super Bowl.

397
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: Chargers playing the Super Bowl. He's probably gonna like get

398
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: like Herbert's least favorite artist or something to do halftime Super.

399
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: Bowl, or you've already explained why the NFL scriptwriters picked

400
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: this to be there. Ah yeah, bring it all full circle.

401
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, good call, man. There'd be a lot of chatter

402
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: about all that, wasn't there. Yeah, you see that the

403
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: NFL's talking about having an opening weekend be Labor Day weekend.

404
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: Oh really?

405
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? What do you how you feel about that?

406
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a purist in the fact that I

407
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 2: wasn't a big fan of them going to seventeen games

408
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: a year. I wasn't a big fan of them expanded,

409
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 2: like they had the most symmetrical season like out there.

410
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: But I think doing this, they'll go to eighteen games.

411
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. But yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like they

412
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 2: go to eighteen games. But the one thing I've been

413
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: disappointed with in the seventeen week seasons is just I mean,

414
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: football is always that like rub dirt, rubs of dirt,

415
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 2: knit get back on on the field, yep. But I

416
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: feel like there's some injuries that have happened here like

417
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: the last like two years, where it's just been like, well,

418
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: it's a seventeen game season. Yeah, take this week off,

419
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: Take it off.

420
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.

421
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of kind of goes back like

422
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: I remember basketball having a scandal about that, like a

423
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Not a scandal, but like it

424
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 2: was a negative publicity because it was load management. Yeah.

425
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 2: It was like basically, uh, you know, Calves had Lebron

426
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 2: and the whole squad on there, and then just one

427
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 2: night they were just like, well, all five of our

428
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: charters are sitting.

429
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: On a Saturday night.

430
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just we're just punting this game. Yep, We're

431
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: not even gonna try. It was a problem, and I

432
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: feel kind of like the NFL's like the stars are

433
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 2: why you're tuning in.

434
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah. The NBA has a I don't know if

435
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: they still do, I know, but they had a big

436
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: problem with it where you'd have, yeah, an entire lineup

437
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: of superstars sitting on a prime time Saturday night game.

438
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 2: That's like if you're telling me, you know, am I

439
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: going to watch a Chargers game in mid October, but

440
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: you're telling me that Dickers sitting out like, I'm probably

441
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: not tuning into that.

442
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I always have that big dicker energy,

443
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: and I will watch him play in October. I will

444
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: watch him play in November, and I will certainly watch

445
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: him play in the third week of February.

446
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 2: You're not worried about load management.

447
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about load management when you're talking about

448
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: Dick or the kicker, I was not. We saved the

449
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: best division for Friday halfy hour. We should have saved

450
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, we should have. We should have saved the

451
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: NFC North for Friday Happy Hour because we went off

452
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: like forty minutes that.

453
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 2: We would have got through. We would have got through

454
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: it a lot faster.

455
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: We would have It's awesome. But let's talk about Taylor Swift.

456
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean, she is the face of the Kansas City Chiefs,

457
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? What can she? Where could

458
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: she go from here? As far as football goes? Do

459
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: you think she'll do the national anthem? Do you do

460
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: you foresee super Bowl halftime? Do you? I mean? What

461
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: do you think you know?

462
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 2: Because she from what it sounded like she's been offered

463
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 2: to do the Super.

464
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: Bowl before a few times.

465
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it also sounds like the performers that do this,

466
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: you boll don't necessarily get any compensation for doing it.

467
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: So here's what they get. They get a budget. Yeah,

468
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: and that budget is for the production of the show,

469
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: and then the payment per se that they get is

470
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: the attention.

471
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: So it's pretty much like their cheerleaders.

472
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: Correct.

473
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, you're not going to pay you to be

474
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: a cheerleader, but you can put this on your resume

475
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: and you know, get a job later on.

476
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: Right, And if you're an artist that maybe has something

477
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: new coming up, or an eager and to need that

478
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: big kickoff, or if you're an artist that's like a

479
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: legend and you haven't been in the you know, spotlight

480
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: for a bit, this is a big deal. Right.

481
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

482
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like the biggest star in the world, so

483
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 1: that's probably not and that's what could what could it

484
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: do for her?

485
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: That That was a great TikTok trend last year when

486
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: they had the the men who would like record it

487
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: and they'd just be like, oh, do you hear about

488
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: the singer And they'd be talking to their wife or

489
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: significant other and she'd just be like, who are you

490
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: talking about? Just like, oh, this Taylor Swift like is

491
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: like a pop singer, Like she's dating Kelsey now and

492
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden she's getting all this attention

493
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: from it, like just seeing like the meltdown of just

494
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: like what what he's bringing her attention?

495
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome, but.

496
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: That's kind of almost like her relationship with the NFL,

497
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: Like who's bigger right now? Like And I mean I

498
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: know a lot of people too that if they see

499
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift on the screen, they're they're triggered. They're they're

500
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: like over like what is Like they had the stat

501
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 2: seven and a half seconds was her average screen time

502
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: for like the ten games that she attended. She was

503
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: like seven and a half seconds.

504
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're so mad, but yeah.

505
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 2: It was just like she's taking over the game. That's

506
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: all we hear about. Well because they announcers are bringing it.

507
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: Up and they're playing her music and they you know,

508
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: going into break and whatnot. But it's why wouldn't he

509
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: take advantage of it?

510
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's, uh, nail's on chalkboard from me.

511
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: Because Minnesota tried to attach itself to a singer, you know, Lizzo. Yep,

512
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: she had her you know, Truth Hurts and the new

513
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: man on the Minnesota Vikings.

514
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: Yep, that's a big deal.

515
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah it didn't it didn't take off. It didn't lead

516
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: us to the super Bowl. So it's very frustrating to see,

517
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: you know, the Chiefs paul In Taylor Swift mid season

518
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: last year and then win a super Bowl.

519
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: It's tough too because the Vikings even they started wearing

520
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: purple because of Prince, the Prince, he died, and they

521
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: still didn't win a Super Bowl.

522
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: I mean, the Vikings were wearing purple longer than Prince.

523
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's blasphemy. I probably wouldn't say that out loud.

524
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the Lea. Yeah, the Vikings have the

525
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: same color scheme as their the basketball team that was

526
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: in Minnesota when they formed.

527
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: There's no basketball to Minnesota.

528
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were named after the ten Thousand Lakes, the Lakers, Yeah,

529
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: Lakers and Vikings. Purple and gold.

530
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm talking about.

531
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 2: Prince cribbed the purple and gold from those teams.

532
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: Prince invented the color purple.

533
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: Did he met rain?

534
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Actually he did. Yeah, we've never had rain before Prince.

535
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Did you know when Prince did Super Bowl halftime it rained?

536
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, Okay said that's one of those legends on

537
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: there where they were talking to him about playing in

538
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: the rain, and you know if he was concerned about it,

539
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: and he famously said, can you make it rain harder?

540
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: Exactly because he's a badass. Yeah, he's dead. That's the

541
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: theme of season two.

542
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, season two's depressed. Yeah, this is a tough start.

543
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: It's a tough start.

544
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Half hour.

545
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: Never been happier, never been happier.

546
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, what else you got? What do you got
