1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: All right, hire everybody, welcome in. About once a month,

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: my buddy Nick Wright stops by. We're going to talk

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: about everything, including UFOs, where there are multiple reports that

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: non human, non biological elements were captured. But first, my

6
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: first job out of college was doing baseball play by play,

7
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: So I used to read Baseball America. That was like

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: a bible for me, and I spent a couple of

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: years doing minor league baseball. Sport is now more international,

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: which is good. So is basketball, so is soccer in America.

11
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: But you can lose track very quickly with global sports.

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: If I stop covering the NBA within three years, you know,

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: there'd be a third of the league that I didn't know.

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: It's such a young league's so transitional, and baseball is

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: like that. So whereas the NFL's a domestic product. If

16
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: you watch college football, you could just drop in occasionally

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: to the NFL and keep track. And so that's one

18
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: of the challenges of a global sport of you know, hockey, baseball, basketball,

19
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: they're global. There's a lot of movement a lot out

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 2: of the country. We don't watch the minor league system

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 2: of those sports like we do college football to the NFL.

22
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: The second big challenge with baseball is there's no urgency

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: that regular season game simply on a nightly basis don't matter.

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: And go to a restaurant and look around. People are

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: on their phones. Go to a store and look around.

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: Go anywhere and look around. People are on their phones.

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: They're distracted. We have a very distracted population. So you

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: have to create urgency to get people's attention. NFL and

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: college football World Cup Final four, this is where baseball

30
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: really loses out. There's no urgency. I'll give you a

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: great example. Even though you think of the NFL as

32
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: a seventeen game schedule from sixteen used to be fourteen,

33
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: then sixteen, now seventeen, just think of how important Week

34
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: one is in the NFL Buffalo and the Jets. Aaron

35
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: Rodgers goes down and the Jets kind of get thumped.

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: You have a different story now. Game two for the Jets,

37
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: if you look at their first six games, is must win.

38
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: Oh to two reduces your playoff chances significantly in the NFL.

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: Oh and three you're done. Owen four, it's impossible, basically,

40
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: or if Buffalo loses based on last year's anemic ending

41
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: against the Bengals, the Stefan Diggs drama and the Jets

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: clobberum Buffalo. Sean McDermott. There's real heat in that building.

43
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: You know.

44
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: Another game, Cowboys at Giants. Mike McCarthy is the play caller.

45
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: What if the Giants defense, already top ten in the league,

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: hammers Dallas for three hours. They can't get anything going.

47
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: Giants win ugly twenty seventeen. Dak doesn't have a good day,

48
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure, can't run the football. Kellen Moore's gone,

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy is getting hammered. Many believe he's already on

50
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: the hot seat. So those I think one of the

51
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: upsets in Week one potentially is Philadelphia going to Foxborough

52
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: Shane Stike and the brilliant offensive coach left to take

53
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: the Colt's job. We think Philadelphia is going to be great,

54
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: but Bill O'Brien and Mack Jones, we don't know exactly

55
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: what it's going to look like. One of the great

56
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: defensive coordinators probably ever Bill Belichick against a new young

57
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for Philadelphia. You just don't know. And suddenly

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: you look at Philadelphia from a different lens. Right, So

59
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that I really appreciated

60
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: about the NFL, and I worried when they added a game.

61
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: Do the game still matter? Week one is so big

62
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: for the Jets and Bills, so big for Dallas and

63
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: the New York Giants. So go back to last year,

64
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson in Denver, poor Seattle, Geno Smith, Nathaniel Hackett

65
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: can't figure out the clock, utter chaos for the Broncos.

66
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: Hackett from that point forward is hammered Seattle and Geno Smith.

67
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: Week one the victors in the trade. It never changed Seattle,

68
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll, Carol been clobbered by everybody, including myself in

69
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: the media. Looks like a genius. All of a sudden,

70
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: this young team with four or five great young draft

71
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: picks is playing over their skis, and they rode that

72
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: emotion to a great season. And the Broncos never recovered

73
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: and got massive heat starting in Week two. So you know,

74
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: the truth is, when you have a sport as popular

75
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: as the English Premier League or the NFL, narratives can

76
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: add pressure to a building. Owen one Aaron Rodgers. Let's say,

77
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: you know, we already question the Jets offensive line. The

78
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Bills have a great front seven tons of pressure. Aaron

79
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: gets sacked three times, hurried twelve times, throws a pick

80
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: under duress. I mean, now you've got Robert Sala. Aaron's

81
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: gonna get a little snippy. Potentially. O line was already

82
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: the issue. You know, if New England and Buffalo win

83
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: in Miami win, now you're in the cellar. It's what

84
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: baseball so desperately needs. I've said this. I love that

85
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: they added a pitch clock. I love they got rid

86
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: of the defensive shift. Until you chop off thirty to

87
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: forty games and create urgency, baseball will struggle with this.

88
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: Regular season games don't matter in a very distracted population

89
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. You've got to create urgency. If

90
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: you don't, people don't watch. All right, we bring on

91
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Nick Wright. First things first is podcast What's Right with

92
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: Nick Wright? So first of all, first of all.

93
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm interrupting you. First of all, since you keep making

94
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: fun of my hair, I pulled it back. I'm where

95
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I got a ponytail just for you, because you keep

96
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: making fun of my hair on television. It's very hurtful.

97
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: And I listened back to our previous podcast, which was

98
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: the first one I had done with you while I

99
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: was drinking. I drank a couple of glasses of wine

100
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: while we were talking. I thought it was outstanding. So

101
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: now I've upped it to a nice glass of Lobos tequila.

102
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Shout out to our friends at Lobos. You're always drinking

103
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: during these pods. I know that I know what a

104
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: little sauce collin sounds like, so I figure this should

105
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: be dynamite. But now go ahead.

106
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: Hey, I saw Oppenheim on Sunday night. Have you seen

107
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: it yet?

108
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: So I have not. I'm I was trying to get

109
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: someone in my family to go with me, but it's

110
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: three hours long. No one will go with me, so

111
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have to go by myself. But I

112
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: want to see So I want to see Oppenheimer. And

113
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: you know, my favorite movie trilogy multi series is Mission Impossible,

114
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: the same. I haven't seen Mission Impossible yet either, because

115
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: I'm such a nerd. When I knew it was coming out,

116
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: I had to rewatch the whole six leading up to

117
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: it to really fully prepare until I finished that this weekend.

118
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: So I know everyone was about doing a Barbie Oppenheimer

119
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: double feature. I want to do a Mission Impossible Oppenheimer

120
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: double feature and just be blacked out for seven hours

121
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: be amazing.

122
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm the same way.

123
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: You know.

124
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise is fascinating that he basically has saved theaters

125
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: and now, I mean for about seven years. He's the

126
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: last great movie star. And because of the scientology, a

127
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: lot of people, my wife included, are just out just

128
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: will not even consider talking about him. But he is

129
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: really really interesting in that he's been very real about

130
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: his beliefs on psychology and scientology, and that authentic belief

131
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: has not at all hurt him in the theater. So

132
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: it's interesting. It's not hurting him at all. It hurts

133
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: his reputation, but people could easily cancel or protest him,

134
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: and many hate him. And my takeaway is if this

135
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: is how popular he is with scientology, how popular would

136
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: he be or is scientology like Twitter that story that

137
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: it's like one percent of people that actually care about it?

138
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Well, I think it also he this is going to

139
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: sound I don't know, this might be bad. He was

140
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: almost grandfathered in as call him an odd guy or four.

141
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: People started getting really under the microscope for stuff, and

142
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: so it would have it feels like if he would

143
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: have come out with all of the things that we

144
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: learned about him twenty years ago, eighteen months ago, and

145
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: maybe could have gone really bad for him. But we've

146
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: known this about Tom Cruise for so long nobody people

147
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: cared briefly and then didn't. And he is a such

148
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: a dynamite talent, and that I think people. I think

149
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: people typically can separate the art from the artists to

150
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: a degree like that, and then it's some there's different

151
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: lines for different people and then there So for for

152
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: a long time, I would have told you my favorite

153
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: musician ever was Kanye Kanye, and there was a no

154
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, for a long time Kanye was odd or

155
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: a little annoying or whatever, and then at some point

156
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: he went to me six steps beyond the pale and

157
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: the art to me, the music got considerably worse, and

158
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, not, you know what I mean, I'm not

159
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: worth it. Tom Cruise is still awesome in every movie

160
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: he makes and has been like the same level of

161
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: weird guy since I was a kid. It feels like,

162
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, for how long ago was

163
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: he jumping on Oprah's couch twenty five years ago?

164
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

165
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Uh? And so yeah, there I mean, there aren't very

166
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: many movie stars like you know, Will Smith and Tom

167
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Cruise probably two biggest movie stars. Will Smith not exactly

168
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: a normal fella up there punching people at the oscars

169
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: like so, I don't know.

170
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Well, it does prove that mostly the noise doesn't matter Cruise,

171
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: and Cruise is the most criticized actor in Hollywood for

172
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: his personal views has zero impact. And that and that

173
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: you and I have discussed this. It really doesn't matter

174
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: what people say about you on social media. You either

175
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: create a show that's entertaining or you don't. Nobody cares

176
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: it just they don't care.

177
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: So and this, I think where it matters is if

178
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: the people let it affect them. I think that I

179
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: think it becomes somewhat almost circular in that I think

180
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: the folks who get criticized by the anonymous masses and

181
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: then it changes how they act or what they do,

182
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: then it does matter because then they're not You're not

183
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: getting the same person. Really. Like for instance, we talked

184
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: about Anon Rodgers on your show and on my show today.

185
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: Where I will give him credit is he for a

186
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: guy who historically I think was quite thin skinned, he

187
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: has not He has leaned into some of the non

188
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: football things that he has been heavily criticized for and

189
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: not run from it at all and simply said, yeah,

190
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: I think my biggest critics are the people who could

191
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: benefit the most from the things I do. Like I

192
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: said that to Peter King, he was like one of

193
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: his favorite lines. And again, I'll give him credit for this.

194
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: It's a smart line, and I think there is some

195
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: wisdom to it. He says, I I wish people were

196
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: less judgmental and more curious. And you know, so I

197
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: don't judge him for the ayahuasca or the Darkness retreat.

198
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: I think some of his views on modern medicine are

199
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: potentially dangerous and I'm not a big fan of that,

200
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: but he does not run from that. And because he

201
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: doesn't run from it, like, how much can it actually

202
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: affect him? And the answer is not really much at all.

203
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: So you know, it's interesting when I was talking about

204
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: if you go anywhere in America, we're a very distracted society.

205
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: People are watching their phones all the time, and because

206
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: of that, you have to create urgency as a talk

207
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: show host, as a league, NFL college football, March Madness,

208
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: World Cup, Olympics, if you watch what people watch. They'll

209
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: watch March Madness Women's Final four this year did very well.

210
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: Is that increasingly you have to create urgency. We all

211
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: have sports takes that are out there. My sports take

212
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: has been for years that the time of baseball, the

213
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: time of a baseball game is overrated. Ratings have gone

214
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: up slightly, attendance slightly with a shorter game, a significantly

215
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: shorter game like thirty minutes less, and the attendance is

216
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: up six percent, ratings nine.

217
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: I can.

218
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: This is my sports take, and I'll never stop saying it.

219
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: Baseball should lop off forty games twenty per owner and August.

220
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 2: First two reasons. It creates more urgency, though not ideal urgency.

221
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: But there's an opportunity here. Sean McVay ruined the NFL

222
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: preseason by not playing starters and going eight to er

223
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: the following year, half the league's coaches, and within two

224
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: years virtually all of them that aren't named Belichick or

225
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: Tomlin stop playing starters in the preseason. August is now

226
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: completely uneventful and uninteresting.

227
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: It is the typically he's done by then. The NBA,

228
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: like this year, Dame might get traded, but the NBA

229
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: is more June July, and then there's nothing going on.

230
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: August is wide open and baseball could own it instead,

231
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: they'll start the playoffs in October. When college football goes

232
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: and the King's happening, it's over. It's over. So that

233
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: is my and I know I'm putting you on the spot.

234
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: That is my sports take. That one of the great

235
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: gifts I'm gonna ask for years. One of the great

236
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: gifts of the NFL has been the willingness to constantly evolve.

237
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: They moved their free agency period, they extended the draft,

238
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: they moved draft to cities. Like they're constantly evolving. They're

239
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: a TV show. So my big sports take, and we're

240
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: in that business, is baseball can really rebound. Numbers go

241
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: significantly up by taking forty games out of the schedule.

242
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: So now I say to you, give me a sports

243
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: take that maybe out there, but you absolutely I've.

244
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: Got to one. I'll give you the NFL one that

245
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: is not so far out there, and then the NBA

246
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: one that's truly far out there, the NFL one that's

247
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: not so far out there. I debuted for the first

248
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: time ever, one of the very first times I filled

249
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: in for you, so it's like six years ago or

250
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: seven years ago on FS one, which is the NFL

251
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: was this was before they had added the seventeenth game, obviously,

252
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: and they were trying to negotiate you we'd add seventeen

253
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: go to seventeen games. Eighteen games, and this international schedule

254
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: that the NFL the week of the week that college

255
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: football ends should have the college football regular season, you

256
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: know what I So that week before the bowls begin

257
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: should have NFL International Week. Every team has eight home games,

258
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: eight road games. You extend the season by two weeks

259
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: because well now we're already at seventeen games. Would follow me.

260
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: Every team gets two buys, your regular random bye, and

261
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: then a bye that's either on the front end or

262
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: the back end of your international game. And here is

263
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: the key to it. The International week. There are games

264
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: in sixteen different cities around the world Monday through Sunday

265
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: throughout the day. So Monday afternoon, there is a game

266
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: in Jakarta, or you know, I'm making it up in

267
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Monday night for the time zones to work. There is

268
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: a game in Cape Town. Tuesday afternoon, there is a

269
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: game in Tokyo. Tuesday night, there is a game in

270
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: i guess we'd have to go in the other direction.

271
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I forget the time zones for a moment, but

272
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: Barcelona and that for a full week, from the time

273
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: you get out of work to the time you go

274
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: to bed, there's a football game on and then Sunday

275
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: there's three games, big games. There is no competitive disadvantage

276
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: because everyone has eight home, eight road, one international game.

277
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: If your international week game is on the Monday Tuesday

278
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday side, your extra buy is the week before, so

279
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: you can acclimate. If your international week game is on

280
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: the Thursday, Friday Saturday side, your international your buye is

281
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: on the back end, so you can recuperate in that regard.

282
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: And you have a full week where there is professional

283
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: football on every day and you touch basically every continent.

284
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: You do it at these soccer stadiums are already there,

285
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: and I think you could sell each game to a

286
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: different network for a few hundred million bucks, and I

287
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: think it's and if you extend the season by two

288
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: weeks instead of one, super Bowl Sunday comes the Sunday

289
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: before President's Day, so we already have a three day weekend.

290
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: It built in for all of us that following Monday,

291
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 1: so that's the added benefit. That's my NFL idea. I

292
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: still think they should do it. I think if you're

293
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: trying to really go international, just focusing on London and

294
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: Europe is a missed opportunity. Like you can do game,

295
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, There are major suit you

296
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: can do games elsewhere. The NBA one is you want

297
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: to add urgency. You have one G League team that

298
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: is essentially your G League All Stars, that is an

299
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: awesome team, and you only really need that one team

300
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: for one year, and the team that finishes dead last

301
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: in the league is relegated to the G League league

302
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: for a year. It is the European soccer model of

303
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: relegation that if you have the worst record in the NBA,

304
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 1: the next season, you are not in the NBA. You

305
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: are in the G League and that G League team,

306
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: everybody moves up. They all get minimum contracts and they

307
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 1: see how they do now they almost assuredly would then

308
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: be the team that finishes last. So really every other

309
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: year though, but at a minimum every other year, there

310
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: would be an NBA team that gets sent down for

311
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: a year. You know, more of this throwing seasons away.

312
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: You are getting relegated, You are getting banged down a

313
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: league if you finished dead last, that would make the

314
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: end of the NBA regular season as captivating as the

315
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: conference finals, because if you were if it was like

316
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: holy shit next to Houston, well yeah, I mean think

317
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: about it. It's like, wait, the Spurs might get when

318
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: or they might get sent to the G League and

319
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: be out of the league for a year, you know what?

320
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: And so what it would mean as far as teams

321
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: trying to compete, and you could maybe tweak it to

322
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: where that it only happens if a team, you know,

323
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: you have to finish last and not win twenty two

324
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: games or something, you know what I mean, Like, hey,

325
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: if everyone wins at least, if everyone goes at least

326
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty four and fifty eight, then nobody gets relegated. But

327
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: if you're truly awful, you're banged down a league. That's

328
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: not like, you know, I didn't create that idea that

329
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: you know, the what do you The Premier League sends

330
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: down four teams a year, Four teams go down, four

331
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: teams go up, and it's you know, it's a pretty

332
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: successful popular league. I think that would create massive urgency

333
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: and I think would be unbelievable theater.

334
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: Uh, you are puzzled or dismayed by the lack of

335
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: UFO coverage, And yeah, yeah, so I first of all,

336
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: do not believe in UFOs. I think what happens is

337
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: much like cell phone technology, where like Norway was ahead

338
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: of us. We don't always have the best ideas. That's

339
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 2: first of all. There are people that have like this

340
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: whole thing about no exhaust. If there was exhaust with

341
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: any of these Pentagon pieces of video, then we would

342
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: know it's not outside the galaxy. Is it possible that

343
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: some other country, by the way, like China doesn't treat

344
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: its citizens well, they spend every penny on weaponry. Is

345
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 2: it possible that a Russia or a China, a non

346
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 2: ally went out and created.

347
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: It ahead of us.

348
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the first thing. Second of all, there are

349
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: so many satellites in the air now, many of them

350
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: Elon Musk created. There's just more in the sky, more moving,

351
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: more blinking, and it's very easy for something like even

352
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 2: a plane going overhead in Los Angeles. I will sit

353
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 2: there and have a cigar and show my wife and

354
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: be like, what is that? And then she's like after

355
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: ten minutes, she's like, oh, oh, it's a helicopter. So

356
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: I think there's two things. People could be ahead of us,

357
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 2: and there's just more crap in the sky. It would

358
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: also help if one legitimate person, you know, like Bill Clinton,

359
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: came out and said, yeah, we got UFOs. It's always

360
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: like a whistleblower who heard from another whistle blower. So

361
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 2: that's my take. Now I want you to take from there.

362
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: You do believe in UFOs? Apparently, no hold on old wait.

363
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: I want to be very clear about what I believe in.

364
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: I if I am not a deeply religious person, and

365
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: I feel like it's almost man, if you're not a

366
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: religious person, then it is just almost logically impossible that

367
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: we are the only intelligent life for him in a

368
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: universe that the expanse of it is, it's beyond our

369
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: own mental comprehension. There are more stars in the sky

370
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: than there are grains of sand on every beach in

371
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: the world. So there are trillions of stars in the sky.

372
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: Our sun is just one of them, so the expanse

373
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: of it. So I do I believe there's intelligent life

374
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: for them out there past us? Of course I do.

375
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: It's impossible to not believe that. Now that is a

376
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: giant leap from there to they have visited US, and

377
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: they've stopped by, and there's you know, they uposa landed.

378
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: I don't know that I believe that. What was so

379
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: concerning to me was not that I'm convinced aliens are here.

380
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: What was concerning to me is the United States Congress

381
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: had a hearing. The people testifying were from the Navy,

382
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: from other branches of the military. They were not some wacka,

383
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean, coming out of off

384
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: a bench. They seemed to be like reputable people. They

385
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: clearly believed that they had either seen or had some contact. Again,

386
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: they could be wrong. Their testimony didn't didn't concern me.

387
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 1: What concerned me was no one cared. What concerned me

388
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: was I went the next day to the New York

389
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Times homepage. It was not I scrolled to the bottom column.

390
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: There wasn't a fucking store. It wasn't there. They had

391
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: a long thing about the Appalachian Trail. They had three

392
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: articles on Trump, two on Ukraine. They had they had

393
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: they had two. They had columns about diversity, equity and

394
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: inclusion programs. All of this nothing on our Congress. People

395
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: interviewed our military, They said we have the UFOs or

396
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: UAPs as they called them, didn't have an article on

397
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: their front page. I went to the Washington Post. It's like,

398
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: all right, maybe the Times is late. I don't know.

399
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Wasn't Post had one article. The headline was Congress hears

400
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: that UAPs have visited Earth. Americans react men, And I'm like,

401
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: this is not I'm not saying the movies in real life.

402
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: But I watched it in Pendance Day as a kid,

403
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: and you know what was reassuring about that was not

404
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: that Will Smith was going to kick the alien's ass,

405
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: but it was the aliens showed up and everybody came together,

406
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: was like, this is an existential threat. We all need

407
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: to set everything aside and unite. So what scared me

408
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: was it seemed to be a bit of a Canarian

409
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: the coal mine for do we as a general public

410
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: have the capability anymore if something major were to happen

411
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: to set everything down, to turn off, like to get

412
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: off our apps, to stop yelling at each other and

413
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: be like, oh, we all need to pay attention and

414
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: pull together for a common good, and I don't know

415
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: that we can't. I saw it was the same thing

416
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: that the Times I think it was The Times this morning.

417
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: It might not have been The Times rather than Wall

418
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Street Journal, I don't know, but one of their polling

419
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: one of the major reputable polling things, ask the question

420
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: is it hotter than normal this summer? And the answer,

421
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: whether you said yes or no, lined up directly with

422
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: your political affiliation, and I'm like, oh, we might just

423
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: be fucked here. Like even it's like, hey, what's the

424
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: weather like? And the answer is, well, how do you vote?

425
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: Because it's saying it's hot seems awful liberal and saying

426
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: that it feels the same is awful conservative. And that's

427
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: and so people. So that's what It wasn't so much

428
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: that I'm convinced aliens are here. It was if we

429
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: get the you know, the alarms go off, and all

430
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the President of the United States is

431
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: on TV and is like, there's an asteroid. It's seventy

432
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: two days away from hitting us. Would we all be like,

433
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: all right, everybody stop, how are we gonna fit? How

434
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: are we going to fix this?

435
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

436
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: Or would we spend the first sixty eight days being

437
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: like that's base full of it. No, he's not full

438
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: of it and just yelling at each other. That's what

439
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: concerned me about the thing. Do we still have the

440
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: capability to pay attention to important things and come together?

441
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: And I don't. I'm not convinced we do.

442
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, so I am and I think one

443
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 2: of the testimonies that were a great country is that

444
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: we don't have real problem. So I give you an example.

445
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: I love this stake. Look here the yeah yeah.

446
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 2: When the biggest controversy right now in America is a

447
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 2: president's son, Like, tell me the last president who didn't

448
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 2: have an idiot somewhere in the family. They all do, Trump, Clinton,

449
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan. That's not a real controversy. It

450
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: doesn't affect me. If I was running for president, There's

451
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: three things I would be concerned about. The biggest problem

452
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 2: is guns. Secondly, crime rates are much lower than the eighties.

453
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: Los Angeles crime is constantly discussed, much lower than the eighties.

454
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: Homelessness is an issue in major cities, but not moderate

455
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: sized cities or small towns, so those get a lot

456
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: of play. The gun issue is the number one issue

457
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 2: in America. Assault rifles should not be around. Nobody's got

458
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: any courage to go after it. I'm not saying that's

459
00:28:54,200 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: not an issue, but crime is elevatedgment of the media's

460
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: absolutely homeless, and that is largely a big city issue.

461
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: Nobody I know gives a shit about Hunter Biden. It's

462
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: just just a weird, disruptive, chronically troubled family member.

463
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Also, can I say something real quick on that? And

464
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't me interrupt you because I want you to

465
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: be able to finish. I don't think you can believe

466
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: Biden is incompetent. You can believe he's you know, too old.

467
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: You can believe he's you know, his social welfare programs

468
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: are you There's a lot of fair bangs on Biden.

469
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: I like the guy a lot, but I totally get

470
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: the criticism. I don't think anyone actually believes the guy's corrupt.

471
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't think they believe it. I don't think they're like,

472
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden, he's been on the take for

473
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: twenty years like that. I just don't think they believe it.

474
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: And that's why the Hunter thing doesn't hit him, because

475
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: I think if people actually thought Joe Biden's got too

476
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: hundred million in you know what I mean, stashed away

477
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: in the Caymans, this could be a big thing like

478
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: the corrupts son. But I think people look at Joe

479
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: Biden and there's a lot of fair criticisms. I don't

480
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: think they think this guy has been you know, while

481
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: he was vice president was cutting a billion dollar deals.

482
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: I just don't think people actually believe it. But go ahead.

483
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: So you were saying about what the real we don't

484
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: have real problems.

485
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: Sorry, So go to Venezuela, go to Russia, go to Europe,

486
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 2: go to Mexico. You can go to a lot of places.

487
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: In the world.

488
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 2: There's two hundred and ten countries. There are real problems.

489
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 2: Our problems are overwhelmingly heavy media saturation and discussion around

490
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: things that get attention but are overstated. Crime things that

491
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: we are grappling within California. A humanity issue, what to

492
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: do with the homeless. It's not easy. It feels better

493
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: today in LA than six months ago. I think the mayor,

494
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: Karen bass is done pretty good job. But they spent

495
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: twenty billion dollars and it got worse. It's a real issue.

496
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: It is a big city issue more than an ann Arbor, Michigan, Austin,

497
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: Texas issue, or a small town issue. Is that I

498
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: do think that we avoid trouble. We thought we had

499
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: a banking crisis, it lasted two weeks. We thought we

500
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: had a housing crisis, it lasted three weeks. The stock

501
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: market's up, Unemployment's the lowest had spent in my life, inflation,

502
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: gas prices. We're actually the only two things that worry

503
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: me are guns and what the hell is up with

504
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: our debt. It's like a trillion dollars. If I had

505
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars debt, I could not sleep at night.

506
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't understand the debt. But my point being is

507
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: I'm not saying all these discussions are manufactured, but the

508
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: truth is that we really hum along. We survived four

509
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: years of weaponizing social media. Trump this this is a

510
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: formidable country that overcame a corrupt president.

511
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: So I think that listen, I think your general, I

512
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: like the optimism, and I think your general you know

513
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter that, hey man, there are

514
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: a lot of places that are in way worse shape.

515
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: And that part I tend to agree with. We are

516
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: in lockstep that the guns thing is, it's it's a

517
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: crisis in two regards. One is just the raw numbers

518
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: of people we lose to gun violence versus every other

519
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: it's it's about staggering in the world. It is staggering,

520
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: but it touches all of us, even if we've never

521
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: been around a gun in our lives, because it does hurt.

522
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: When you went to maybe it didn't happen for you,

523
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: it does happen for me. When I go to Oppenheimer,

524
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: there will be a moment before the movie starts where

525
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: I scope out the exits and my surroundings because the

526
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: movie theater is on the list of places in my

527
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: head where I'm like, Eh, there could be an incident here,

528
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: and I think that does have a real tangible effect

529
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: on quality of life. Sorr, I'm with you on guns.

530
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: I do think there is a housing affordability I don't

531
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: call it crisis, but major issue which manifests itself in homelessness. Yes, right,

532
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: so those are real major issues. My concern for the

533
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: United States not like the well being of the country.

534
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: My concern is our biggest issues are too long of

535
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: a runway for us to truly address, which is I

536
00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: don't think the majority of people my age are going

537
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: to have no chance of retiring because they're not like

538
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: people used to be able to make a decent living

539
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: and at the very least you buy a house and

540
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: you've paid it off by the time it's your retirement age.

541
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: And if your house is paid off and you have

542
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: so security coming in, you're not going to be able

543
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: to like go on European vacations. But you don't have

544
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: a lot of expenses. You have a little bit of

545
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: money put away, and then when you're sixty five or seventy,

546
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: if you want to retire, you can. Nobody. My age

547
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: is not you shouldn't say nobody. Very few people are

548
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: buying homes and pensions don't exist anymore, and so I

549
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: do think we are approaching, but we won't feel it

550
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: for thirty years a generation of seventy year olds where

551
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: it is either we have to really expand the welfare state,

552
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: which people hate doing, or are we okay with people

553
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: just work a lot. You know, the majority of Americans

554
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: working till they're dead, And so that to me is

555
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: like a real concern. That is a that is a

556
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: tentacle of the housing issue, you know what I mean

557
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 1: of the fact that it's very difficult. I also think

558
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: I don't know your take on this, and I know

559
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: we are off the board here, so I apologize. I

560
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: wish that junior college was not stigmatized, and I wish

561
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: it was pushed. I want to say pushed, but talk

562
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: to a kid. It was told to kids that this

563
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: is a great option if you're not trying to be

564
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: a doctor or a lawyer, and you're undecided on what

565
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: you want to do, having your first two years of

566
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: college be essentially free while you figure out what you

567
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: want to do, and then after that there is no

568
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: shame in a state school at all. Is like I'll

569
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: use my son as a as an example. My son,

570
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: who you know, he worked with us at Fox. It's

571
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: a great kid, does not have a college degree. And

572
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: there was a time he played. He went to junior

573
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: college to play basketball, didn't end up getting a D

574
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: one scholarship, and I obviously would have paid for his college,

575
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: but he was he was never really into school as

576
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: much as he was basketball, and there was a time

577
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 1: in his life. And I hope he doesn't get mad

578
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: at me for, you know, saying his business or I

579
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: think he was down on himself a bit because he

580
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: didn't have you know what I mean, He didn't have

581
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: that and I told him before he moved to la.

582
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, buddy, you're twenty four. I was like, you

583
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: don't have a degree, But so many of your peers

584
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: who do have one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth

585
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: of debt that is going to hang around their neck

586
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: until they're thirty five or older and won't necessarily even

587
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: use their degree. And I think for a lot of

588
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: young people, junior college to a state school and then

589
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: having the freedom of movement and mobility that comes along

590
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 1: with not having you know, high five figures or six

591
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: figures in debt is the way better return on investment option.

592
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: But I feel like junior college is like thought of

593
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: as like, oh, something went wrong for you, you know what

594
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Like, oh, you're not that bright and I'm

595
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: the student. Debt things a huge problem for young people

596
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: in this country. Like you got one hundred grand where

597
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: that colin. If I had one hundred thousand dollars worth

598
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: a debt when I came out of Syracuse, could I

599
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: have taken an eight dollars an hour radio job. Of

600
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: course not, but I could because I didn't, and that

601
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: was the best job for me. Like, there's a lot

602
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: of kids that can't even do really what they want

603
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: to do because they got to start working on that

604
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: debt immediately, because they were pushed to go to the

605
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: best college possible, which is, you know, exorbitantly expensive. I

606
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: think that's a huge issue, huge isshu.

607
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: Okay, back to sports, but I like that whole thing.

608
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed that. Yeah, for the record, the elitism

609
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 2: of college. I think people are now acknowledging that college

610
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: is a lot, not that it's superficial, but so much

611
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: of it has been glamorized as essential. And increasingly I

612
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: think people realize that vocational school, your own path, entrepreneurship

613
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: is fine. I think in the last three years, I've

614
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: really sensed that people are kind of like East Coast

615
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: people who are more tradition driven, are really into the

616
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: prep school stuff. I've spent my life out West very entrepreneurial.

617
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 2: I've never once asked a person where they went to college.

618
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 2: I could care less of the volume. Are you good

619
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 2: or not?

620
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: Well? So, before we get sports, this is I'm going

621
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 1: to throw this at you. This is my favorite. I

622
00:38:51,920 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: hope in my lifetime someone conducts this social experiment. You

623
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: are a very well to do person, and you have

624
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: twins and they are identical twins, so the same DNA

625
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: and one twin. We'll call him Ryan. Ryan, you are

626
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: going to from first grade on go to the single

627
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: best private school available to us, the single best college

628
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: available to you, and we're paying for all of it.

629
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: You're going to graduate with no debt at all. Your brother,

630
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: Brian is going to go to the local public school,

631
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: then the local junior college, then the local state school.

632
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: And when you both graduate college, Ryan you get all

633
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: the connections, the prestige of the Ivy League degree, all

634
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: of it, and Brian you get all the money we

635
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: spent on his education. Go Ryan, you have all the

636
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: prep school everything League degree. Brian, you went to state

637
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: university in public school. Here is let me do the math.

638
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: Fifty grand a year for sixteen years. Here's eight hundred

639
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: thousand dollars cash to start your life. I think there

640
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: is a strong argument to be made that the kid

641
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: with the eight hundred grand and still a degree is

642
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: probably has a head start on the kid who went

643
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: to all the you know, did all of that, and

644
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: see who does better. Because I do think that I

645
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: do think there's an argument to be made that families

646
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: with money that are sending their kids to these prep

647
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: schools or whatever would be better off holding that money

648
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: and giving it to their kids when they graduate. But okay,

649
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: now to sports, go ahead.

650
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, the advantage for the kid that goes to school

651
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: isn't the school. The greatest advantage where I would lean

652
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: to the kid going to school are is connections.

653
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: The people you meet exactly right, the network that you

654
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: yes at that and the people you meet out one

655
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent. That's exactly what I believed.

656
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: So I sent my daughter to a very rigorous private

657
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: junior high when I thought I could live in Connecticut,

658
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: you know, forever. And we didn't do it for the

659
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: academic She's a great student. We did it for the connections.

660
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 2: Everybody in our town that was connected sent their kids

661
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: there Kingswood, Oxford in West Hartford, Connecticut. We didn't care

662
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: about the education. It was sixth grade, it was forty

663
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 2: three thousand a year. We did it for connections. We're like,

664
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: if we live here for the next thirty years, she's

665
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: going to know everybody in town and we'll go to

666
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 2: college at Cornell was some she you know. We were like,

667
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 2: I've said this about Stanford. It's Stanford. It's hard to

668
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: flunk out. They don't want you to. They always say

669
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: that Col's easier to get into. They try to flunk

670
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 2: you out. Stanford's impossible to get into. Nobody flunks out.

671
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: They don't want you to. But it's the connections of

672
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: Stanford that are truly better than COL. Stanford's got no

673
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: not that Cal lacks for gravitas, but I tend to believe.

674
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example. Years ago, they did a study.

675
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 2: A guy out of the University of Chicago did a study,

676
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 2: and he was concerned that it was sort of pithy

677
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: and insignificant. It was a study on luck. So what

678
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: he did is he went out and he wanted to

679
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 2: find one hundred lucky people and one hundred unlucky people.

680
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: They viewed themselves as LUCKI or unlucky. And he found

681
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: them and so for a year he tested them, he

682
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: called them, he followed them, and what he found was

683
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: this luck didn't exist. But the unlucky people were introverts.

684
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: They didn't create inertia or manufacture relationships. And the one

685
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: hundred lucky people were simply extroverts, talkers, social lubricators, and

686
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 2: over the course of a lifetime, you're in a bank line,

687
00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: a grocery line, a parking lot, a party, a restaurant. Hey,

688
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: let me take your number. I want to show you.

689
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: Oh my god, my cousin did this. Hey, let's connect

690
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: an over the course of a lifetime. Extroverts create momentum

691
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: that introuy that do not. And so I tell my kids.

692
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: I tell my kids talk, ask questions, be social, do things.

693
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: You will create a snowball effect of your life. I

694
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 2: went last night out to a little club that I

695
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 2: a member of. I got into the greatest discussion with

696
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: a kid that lives in London. We exchange numbers. He

697
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: was in the financial sector. He gave me some great

698
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: advice on something. He gave me a great travel destination.

699
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 2: I gave him a guy he needs to call in

700
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 2: regards to his career over cocktails and he texts me today.

701
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: I text him back. So I think the opportunity for

702
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 2: wealthy people to get their kids in the right social circle.

703
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: In the in the right rooms one hundred percent that

704
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: I one hundred percent agree with that. No, and by

705
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: the way, I am not, I mean I'm a if

706
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: my whole little rant there made it sound like the

707
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: you know that, Oh we let me be clear. If

708
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: It makes it sound like I'm saying you're crazy if

709
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: you spend a bunch of money on sending kids private school.

710
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, I live in New York City. I send

711
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: my kids private school, you know what I mean. So

712
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: it feels like it's almost because I can, it's almost obligatory.

713
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: But I do what I do. Just second guess myself,

714
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I do wonder what it

715
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 1: would you know, what if you if the moment you

716
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: get out of college, it's like, hey, you can buy

717
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: yourself a house cash and have money left over to

718
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: start a you know, a small business. What that does.

719
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: But now we've been talking forty five minutes. I haven't

720
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: let you ask me anything about sports, so I'll shut up.

721
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Sorry, the cocktail, Okay, this is what I'm saying, man,

722
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: cocktails of Colin.

723
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 2: Big sports topic here, Okay, it's I noticed this on

724
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: vacation that everybody's basically has figured out who's going to

725
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,959
Speaker 2: win their division and finish last. We're just arguing about

726
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: second and third Chargers, Broncos, Jets, Dolphins, Raven Steelers. You know,

727
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 2: everybody knows what's interesting because the league has become such

728
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: a quarterback centric league, the best quarterback wins the division.

729
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 2: Chaos at quarterback Sport, and then we argued to a

730
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: Rogers Pickett, Lamar Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert. So there's a

731
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: lot of de predictability in the predictions. So I'm going

732
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: to ask you, but there's going to be an up

733
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 2: seven week one that is just shocker. I'm gonna tell

734
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: you mine, and then there's going to be a team

735
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 2: that's a shocker. So I'm going to give you my upset.

736
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: Shane Steiken goes to Indy. We don't know what the

737
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 2: hell that offense is going to look like in Anthony Richardson.

738
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: Jacksonville has got some new pieces, Calvin Ridley. They I'm

739
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 2: in very confident as a heavy favorite. It's a division

740
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 2: rival game on the road, and we have no idea

741
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:12,720
Speaker 2: with Shane Steichen, who with Justin Herbert and Jalen Hurts

742
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 2: turned him into superstars, is that the Colts are going

743
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: to upset the Jags in week one. Cults are not

744
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 2: a good team, but you can be good for three

745
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: hours in week one when the locker room is still

746
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: convinced you're a really good team. Bad teams have a

747
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 2: lot of fight for about five weeks until they're zero

748
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 2: to five or one and four. So my upset of

749
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 2: the week, I'm going to go with it Colts shock

750
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 2: the world and beat Jacksonville.

751
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: What's yours? Okay? So I don't think that's terrible. I

752
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 1: obviously love the Jags this year and Trevor Lawrence if

753
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: I were to pick a major Week one upset again,

754
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 1: even though I do not believe in this team or

755
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: this quarterback at all, with a whole off season to

756
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: prepare with the real thing that is a Super Bowl hangover,

757
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 1: is it impossible to believe Bill Belichick and the Patriots

758
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: at home beat Philadelphia. That's not impossible to believe that,

759
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: and people freak out and Philly will be fine. They

760
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: have too much talent, you know. And I don't think

761
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: New England's gonna be any good, Like I shouldn't say

762
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: any good. They're not going to be a really good team.

763
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: But that's that. I certainly like, here's the thing, that's

764
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots getting five at home, and that to me

765
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: feels like that there's real value there in the Patriots

766
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: money line because if that, maybe they lose by twenty

767
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: one and it's like, oh, Mac is not going to

768
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: be good the Patriots, you know whatever, But if that's close,

769
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: they can win that game. One thousand percent they can

770
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: win that game. And for Philadelphia there is the the

771
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: I think the real hurdle of everything is going to

772
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: feel a little slow motioning until later in the year

773
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: and you might eat which wouldn't exist if they were

774
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: in the AFC. There is, as you were talking earlier,

775
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: in a different way, the sense of urgency of there's

776
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: too many good, goddamn quarterbacks, like we better not screw

777
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: around here, because there's gonna be some great quarterbacks that

778
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: are on our heels or ahead of us. In the NFC,

779
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles got to be like, Okay, there's US, there's

780
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: San Francisco, there's Dallas, and then who are we talking

781
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: about a Vikings team who we annihilated last year and

782
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: then fell? You know, so I think I think that

783
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: that would be a Week one upset. Again, I haven't

784
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: really dove into this entirely. I'm trying to look at

785
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: the other ones that would make sense go ahead.

786
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: So I think we both picked one because that was

787
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: my second choice, by the way, that was my really yeah,

788
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: oh okay, now you have to have a Wow, prediction

789
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: on a team, Okay, like somebody's gonna shock us. I'm

790
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: gonna argue Carolina. So I think Frank Reich is really good.

791
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 2: They built an excellent staff. It's a bad division. I

792
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 2: don't trust the coach to the Saints. They have an

793
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 2: excellent front seven. The corners are good but beat up

794
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,439
Speaker 2: that are now healthy. They ran the ball effectively last year.

795
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 2: The O line is young and emerging, and Bryce Young

796
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 2: is really smart and capable. He may have a lower ceiling,

797
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 2: but he'll be good in week one. I think week one,

798
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: Week two, week three, you're gonna look at Carolina and

799
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 2: you forget last year that defense was nasty. I think

800
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: Carolina has a chance to win their division. That is

801
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 2: my wild pick.

802
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So I my only antie on that is I

803
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: don't like tiny football players, and Bryce Young is tiny.

804
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: That's my concern. It just a general belief of just so.

805
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you the team, but if

806
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: I were to tell you, a team's first handful of

807
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: games are against the Bears, Falcons, Saints, Lions, Raiders, Broncos.

808
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 1: That is their first what was that five to six games?

809
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 2: Green Bay?

810
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: Could they get out to a great start. I think

811
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. Do I think that that team

812
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: is there is going to be a bit of a

813
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: deep breath sigh of relief that the Aaron Rodgers stuff

814
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: is just done with. Do I think there is going

815
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: to be a real chip on their shoulder of man,

816
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: this guy sure love. It's almost the the the person

817
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: who's you know, spouse left them and then you see

818
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: that the spouse and you know is giving interviews some

819
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: about how in love they are with their new person,

820
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: like hey, I was great to you, like and like

821
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of oh really. I think Lafour is

822
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: a good coach. I think that division is open in

823
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: this regard. I think the Vikings are good. I think

824
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 1: the Lions are good. I don't think there's a great

825
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: team and the Lions, you know, everyone gassed to the

826
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: to the floor on the Lions concerns me a bit.

827
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: So I think green Bay being you know, a nine win,

828
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: ten win team and maybe finding a way into the

829
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 1: playoffs because in the NFC finding seven playoff teams is

830
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: not easy. So I think green Bay is a viable thing.

831
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: I want to kind of turn it on its head

832
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: because everybody I shouldn't say everybody. People talk a lot

833
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: about who's going to be the team that jumps up

834
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: and shocks people. It's like, oh man, they're good. We

835
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 1: rarely put out there who's the team everyone thinks is

836
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: going to be good that is going to fall flat

837
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: on its face. I think it's going to be the Jets.

838
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: I think that people have and the Jets it's the exact,

839
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: by the way, same reason. The Broncos were my pick

840
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: for that last year, and I was right. But it's

841
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the same recipe. A wide receiver corps

842
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: that is wildly being all of a sudden overrated. People

843
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: last year we're talking about the broncxs are like, oh

844
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: my god, all these weapons, and I'm like, I like

845
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: Jerry ju fine, but in the wide receiver position has

846
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: never been better than it is right now. He's not

847
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: even close to one of the ten best in the league.

848
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: And then I and then it was like, oh no,

849
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: all these guys, the people are talking about the Jets

850
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: weapons like they're great. Garrett Wilson had an awesome rookie year. Okay,

851
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard was a below average number two with Green

852
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 1: Bay last year. Hardman's their three, and so if we're

853
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: talking about weapons. Just in the AFC, Cincinnati's is better,

854
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 1: The Chargers are better, the Dolphins are better. I would

855
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: argue the Raiders are better. The Bills are right in

856
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: line with them, so we're so they're running backs coming

857
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: off in ACL, they're two. They have two left tackles.

858
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: One has barely played in two years because of injury.

859
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: The other is thirty eight years old. Literally thirty eight

860
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 1: years old. And Dwayne Brown. I don't think the coach

861
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: is great the Jets. And also the other thing for

862
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: the Jets is, while the end of the year is

863
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: very soft, how are the Jets, who are, keep in mind,

864
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: on a six game losing streak from last year, going

865
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: to react if they start? What are they going to start?

866
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: When it is Bills, Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs and all of

867
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, big game against the Broncos, then Eagles. That

868
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: first six games, you have the Bills, the Cowboys, the Chiefs,

869
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: and the Eagles, and your easy games are the Patriots

870
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: who have beaten you for seven years in a row,

871
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: every single time. And then the Broncos that all of

872
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: a sudden is a blood feud because your dear friend

873
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: Sean Payton went to scortch Earth on him. Yeah, that

874
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: is not an easy opening six. So I think the

875
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: Jets are the team that is not going to meet expectations.

876
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: This was fun.

877
00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: We did an hour almost we did fifty to think.

878
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: About which team's gonna sometime, either on the volume or

879
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,240
Speaker 1: on the show. You don't have to tell me now.

880
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 2: I think Philadelphia is gonna be good, but nine win good,

881
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: not thirteen win good. I think they're gonna be in

882
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 2: a dog fight with Dallas for the title. I think

883
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 2: they're pulling back. And by the way Shane Steiken leaves,

884
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: they lost multiple linebackers O lines. Yeah, they Oh line's old.

885
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: Still good, but it's older. They faced a conveyor belt

886
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 2: of awful quarterbacks, I mean awful, terrible, and then they

887
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: got a pretty break in the playoffs.

888
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: It's like, and every good quarterback after Week two lit

889
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: them up, every single one.

890
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: My takeaway is Philadelphia is really good, but they don't

891
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: feel like the Bully, you know, the broad Street Bully,

892
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 2: that former Flyers team. They don't like Last year they

893
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: were beating teams like a college team, beating teams by thirty.

894
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.

895
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 2: They're going to be in a lot of close games.

896
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 2: I think Dallas can line up with them. I think

897
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 2: there's a lot of teams that can line up with them.

898
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 2: And I think Jalen Hurts is terrific, but I think

899
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 2: he'll pull back and I think he'll have to play

900
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 2: from behind occasionally. I mean, I love Jalen, but good God,

901
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 2: when you play with a twenty point lead in the

902
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: second quarter, it's just a different environment than trailing late

903
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 2: in the third. It's a different position. So I think

904
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 2: Philadelphia is good but doesn't look nearly as good as

905
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:30,919
Speaker 2: last year.

906
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: I think that's the I buy the way. I by

907
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: the way, I agree with that. I I am. I'm

908
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: gonna say this, hold on. You can keep this in,

909
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: but don't have your people put this specific thing on

910
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: social This is a special thing for you, for me,

911
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: to you, for the people that made it. At the

912
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: end of the podcast, I am ninety percent sure. I'm

913
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,800
Speaker 1: obviously picking the Chiefs in the AFC. It's going to

914
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: be hard to pick against a team that's literally going

915
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 1: to go win three straight Super Bowls, So I'm gonna

916
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and go with them. In the NFC. I

917
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: I really think I'm picking Dallas, like I don't think

918
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: the Niners. Like I just I don't think the Niners can.

919
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: You can't just have nobody's at quarterback for every year

920
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: and just have it worked. At some point, it's gotta

921
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: just bite you. And the fact that your guy Mike

922
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: Silver's like, hey, Trey Lance, he's throwing one hundred and

923
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty passes. They might cut him. I'm like, are you

924
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: what's and man? And and Shanahan's like, hey, I'll turn

925
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,479
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold into Steve Young. I'm like, okay, I picked

926
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 1: the Niners who go to the Super Bowl last year.

927
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it this year. So I'm doing the Niners.

928
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: And the Eagles I thought were a good but not

929
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: great team last year that got hot. Had you know

930
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: they had more saxon Ay teams since eighty five Bears?

931
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: They going to duplicate that, I don't think. So the

932
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: quarterback thing is real. So if it's not Niners Eagles,

933
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 1: who is it? Like, literally, am My picking Gino Smith

934
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl? No? Am I picking

935
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: Jared Golf to go to the Super Bowl? No Am

936
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: I picking Kirk Cousins. No. I know It's become very

937
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: in vogue to say Justin Field's one of the five

938
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks in football. I'd like to see him play

939
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: five great quarters before I'm ready to say that. So,

940
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: so we're running out of teams. I think I'm gonna

941
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys, which is so weird because I'm not

942
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: the corner of people in sports media that are either

943
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: I feel like eighty five percent of sports media is

944
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: well established pro or anti Cowboys, and then there's a

945
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: handful of you me a couple others that's like, ah,

946
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I find them interesting, but I don't

947
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: love them or hate them. But I think I'm going

948
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: to pick them to go to the Super Bowl. I

949
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: just think I am. I just I'm running out of

950
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. So I think Chiefs Cowboys super Bowl,

951
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: highest rated ever, Mahomes going for back to back Cowboys

952
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: and for the first it would be Dan Chiefs going

953
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: for twenty and oher versus the Cowboys.

954
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Oh that's a little hyperbolic.

955
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: But oh, I don't know about that. I don't know

956
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: about that. Last but last time the Chiefs were the

957
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: defending champs, they lost one game all year that moment

958
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 1: they lost well, they lost two because Mahomes rested in

959
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: the final week of the year, but they were fourteen

960
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: and one and then rolled into the super Bowl and

961
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: they had to play the first ever road super Bowl

962
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: against Tom Brady and shit went awry. But I mean,

963
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 1: they almost did it a few years ago. We should

964
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 1: do this again soon. I loved it. Good seeing you, buddy,

965
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: you too. I almost finished my drink. I love you.

966
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed. I'm thinking about pulling this out

967
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: on TV because I said I'm not cutting my hair

968
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: till the Chiefs lose. So it's gonna be years, so

969
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be able to pull it back

970
00:59:48,080 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: or something. I'll see you later. New house looks great.

971
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: The volume
