25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Don't misspell it like my former employees always did employers.

26
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: I was the employee the Eagles spelled it wrong for

27
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: as the States spelled it wrong. Not not much respect too.

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: F's not an easy name. My last name is not Smith.

29
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: So I get it two f's. Slide up in those

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: d m s and get your question answered here on

31
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: the show from Jack. We'll start with Jack, who was

32
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: the better team in two thousand thirteen, the Seahawks or

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: the fort I know the Seahawks beat them in the

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: NFC Championship, but who is on a neutral site best

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: of seven, etc. Wanted to get your take as I'm

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: sure you followed both teams closely during that time. I

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: think sometimes in sports, when something comes down to the

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: wire or overtime, if you played it like ten times,

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: it might be a true coin flip. And then sometimes

40
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: when it comes down to like a historic and overtime,

41
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: you're like, actually, you know, if they played this thing

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: ten times, the other team or the other guy wins

43
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: it a bunch of times. It happens a lot in

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: individual sports, like when someone upsets Joker or Nadal or Tiger,

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Like rock Comedia almost beat Tiger, Tory pines No. Eight. Well,

46
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: it turns out Tiger at a broken leg and a

47
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: torn a c l. If they played a hundred times,

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Tiger beats ninety nine, like all the times that Nadal

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: and Joker and those guys have been upset. Most of

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: the time, if they played that thing a lot of times,

51
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: it would be you know, they would dominate. But sometimes,

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: like when the Calves beat the Warriors. You know that

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: was pretty even back in sixteen, even though they came

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: back from three one. Do the Warriors probably win six

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: out of ten times? Yeah? Maybe, But I think the

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Seattle and the forty Niners was a true coin flip game.

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: If they played ten times, I think it would probably

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: be five five, maybe six four, So Seattle one. They

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: had home field advantage in that game. The crab Tree

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Sherman game, which is a big deal. I think one

61
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: thing in basketball and football, probably more than baseball, because

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: in baseball, if you have a legit pitching staff it

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: can neutralize the the crowd. You know, I've seen it

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: when bum Gardner, who actually ran into in uh in

65
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Arizona a couple of weeks ago, we were down at

66
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: this area it's called Scottsdale Quarter. They have all these

67
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: cool shops and they have a Jettie store, very on brand.

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I see bum Gardner, and honestly, you know, I talked

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: for a living. I usually have some good I can

70
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: introduce myself. I'm not afraid to talk to anybody. But

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I was like, what do I say to this guy?

72
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Completely botched it. It was very awkward. Uh. He probably

73
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: thought it was a complete weirdo, but it was very

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: on brand. I ran in a bum Garner in the

75
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeddie store. But about bum Garner, like he had that

76
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: game against the Kansas City Royals, which I should have

77
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: just dropped, like, hey bro from northern California. That game

78
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: was legendary, just some bullshit. I don't know. I tried

79
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: to drop like, hey man, I remember when you used

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: to live in the cities, Like I didn't live in

81
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: the city. It was just very weird. Um and listen,

82
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: you can't win them all. But you know, if you

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: have a great picture and said when the Giants went

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: all the World Series, they could dominate on the road

85
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: pitching and it would just shut up the opposing crowd.

86
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: We're in football and in basketball, like it's it's inevitable.

87
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: If you're good, you're gonna get some momentum on the road.

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I would say that the right

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: team won that individual game. But I don't think there

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: was any difference between the two teams. I guess it's

91
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: the long winded way of saying that. I think that

92
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: was a true I mean, they were both really, really good. Um,

93
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: I think that that was if the Chiefs and the

94
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: forty Niners in two thousand twenty, the year that Mahomes

95
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: hit the Wasp play from that might have been. Yeah.

96
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: I guess it was February of I think they played

97
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: ten times. That's close to a coin flip game. That

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Niner team was really good, and that Chief's team's offense

99
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: was unreal. Love the Pod Panthers fan here living in

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: perpetual misery. At first, I like the Mayfield trade because

101
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: he seems to be an upgrade over Donald. However, after

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: thinking about it more, it doesn't seem like one would

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: be that much better. Than the other. When there are

104
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: many other problems on our team beside quarterback play, At

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: what point do we need to start blaming the coach

106
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: and GM and the staff for not only the shortcomings

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: of the past few seasons, but the overall lack of progress. Also,

108
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: McCaffrey goes down again, this franchise paying him huge contract.

109
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: Where do you go from here with him? Well, I

110
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: I think I've had some time to marinate on it too.

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: I did a podcast a couple of days and just

112
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: gave my initial thoughts. I think when you're really desperate,

113
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: and I heard someone say, this is the first time

114
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: two guys from the same draft that have been drafted

115
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: this high have been on the same team since like

116
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty Raiders. It was Plunkett and one other guy.

117
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: So it's a very rare combination to get two guys

118
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: who are drafted this high, especially that are young. Right,

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: this draft wasn't two thousand twelve. These guys were drafted

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: in what eighteen eight? Yeah, this is their fifth year.

121
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: So when you're really desperate and fitterer. The GM does

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,119
Speaker 1: come from Seattle, who, like, let's face it, the most

123
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: famous move they've ever made is drafting Russell Wilson. But

124
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: it was the open competition, and that was a big

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: thing with Pete Carroll when he resurrected his career at

126
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: USC through Seattle. Was compete, compete, Compete, competition, Tuesdays, competition, Wednesdays,

127
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: competitions Thursdays. Just always competing. I think that's the name

128
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: of his book, always compete. So when you're really desperate,

129
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: what what the hell do you have to lose? You

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: know it to me, it's just let the best man win.

131
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: You get two guys they were drafting really high. Now

132
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: you could argue that who cares about draft position years later,

133
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: and that's true, but it does factory in when you're

134
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: talking about fifteer options or salaries. So I I get it,

135
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: and you know, I think the big differentiating factor why

136
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: they got Baker and not Jimmy is just simply money.

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: They got him for cheap. If if he was not cheap,

138
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: he would not be on the team. You know, It's

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: really that simple. And then they just hope that one

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: of these guys the competition can bring out the best

141
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 1: in him. Now, the difference and position players always getting

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: mad like at dtackle, like you know, who cares if

143
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: they bring in competition or wide receiver, well, that's not

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: the way it works. Kicker, punter, quarterback. One guy plays,

145
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: so whoever is not playing at quarterbacks Unlike kicker and punter,

146
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: you only got one. The other guy has to be supportive.

147
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: You know. It's like any of you guys listening married.

148
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: You know, if she is supportive of your endeavors professionally,

149
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: of anything you're doing, it's easier to live life. When

150
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: when she is not supportive and it is a you know,

151
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: it gets contentious over some of your ideas or something

152
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: you're doing professionally, it's hard to live. So if this guy,

153
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: when you hear this sometimes like I don't know if

154
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a good backup. The reason

155
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: they say that is because you know, you have to

156
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: be understand where you're at your lot in life. I'm

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: the backup. I need to support my starting quarterback. And

158
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: a lot of times quarterbacks believe they're still starters. And

159
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: that's a problem. It's why a lot of Chase Daniels

160
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: of the world are blank Gabberts are such great backups.

161
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: They know where they stand, and if you don't know

162
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: where you stand, it can be a problem now ultimately

163
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: with the Panthers, I've said it over and over. I

164
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: think that Matt Rule will be coaching college next year

165
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: and all of this pick of the litter of jobs.

166
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: My guests would be U. C. L. A fan of

167
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: the pod since the O G Pandemic days. You know.

168
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: The irony is, I've been going doing this pod since

169
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: two thousand eighteen. I know some of you guys are

170
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: new because of the volume, uh, but I've been Colin

171
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: had a podcast network which me, him and I think

172
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: Gottlieb originally started, you know, five years ago, four years ago.

173
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Now obviously it's gone to another level with the volume.

174
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been the o G days are you

175
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: know a long time ago when we were beating the bushes,

176
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, digging them ditches. Honestly did not know that

177
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: you do by yourself week two or three or three

178
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: and out episodes. You have me addicted harder than I

179
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: was to Adderall in college. Anyway, Adderall and me have

180
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: never gone well together. It just doesn't really work. And obviously,

181
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think a lot of people use it.

182
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: You just know this, if you if you're in a competitive,

183
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: high paced industry with a lot of money online. Most

184
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: of your competition is on it. So if you don't

185
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of people think like little coff what

186
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: are you on? I don't know coffee. I don't necessarily

187
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: need it, and when I do take it makes me

188
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: a little weird. But I do know Luckily, I have

189
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot of energy, and I get up earli early,

190
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: I can't don't really sleep, so it's you know, I

191
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need it. Maybe sometimes hungover. Uh though it's

192
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: not like I have any But just know a lot

193
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: of people that you're competing with are on it, and

194
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: that's that's just that's a fact. Anyways, what are your

195
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: thoughts on Notre Dame potentially joining the Big Ten? Do

196
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: you see a scenario where they joined the SEC? I

197
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: see no scenario where they joined the SEC. Academics is

198
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: something they hang their hat on. I think it's why

199
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: they align with the Michigan's, with the Wisconsin's, with the Northwesterns,

200
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: with the produce. I was texting with Coward the other day.

201
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I actually think the most likely scenario if Notre Dame joins,

202
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: and you never know, like they might say, independent, they're

203
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: worth a lot of money to NBC but they're worth

204
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: a lot to the Big tent that if they can

205
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: get come as a package deal, because you can't just

206
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: bring Notre Dame alone, right, you need an even number

207
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: of teams. It's like the NFL couldn't have thirty one

208
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: teams or the NBA couldn't have teams. So they're at

209
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: whatever fourteen now they want to add the sixteen and

210
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: then ultimately go potentially to twenty. I guess the Big Ten.

211
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: I guess the Big ten's now at they will be

212
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: at sixteen when U c l A and Stanford, or

213
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: I mean U C l A and USC com if

214
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: they had Notre Dame, they'd be at seventeen. But they

215
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: need another team to meet. A team that makes the

216
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: most sense. Notre Dame's rival is USC and Stanford like that,

217
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and obviously Michigan, but they don't consistently play, but they

218
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: play Stanford every single year. Now, Stanford can be hit

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: or missed when it comes to football and basketball, and

220
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: right now football teams down. Obviously the basketball team sucks.

221
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: But I do think that if they come as a

222
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: package deal, then it will be Stanford and not Oregon

223
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: or Washington. Uh. That that would be my educated guests.

224
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like I have inside information, but that

225
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: that's I I would guess that that would be the

226
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: case with the USFL and XFL coming up as feeder systems.

227
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Do you see this affecting college athletics. They're not feeder systems.

228
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: College football is the feeder system. USFL is basically, you know,

229
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: I don't even know how what umbrella you'd put it under, like, uh,

230
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: you know that they're subsidizing that that they are basically

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: an avenue for guys that can't make it. You know,

232
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, it's not even the minor leagues, because

233
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: the minor leagues would be like the practice squad. The

234
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: the the XFL and USFL is just the carry over

235
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: spill over the guys that can't cut it in the league.

236
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it's not even a it's

237
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: not a shot. It's just a fact. You know. I

238
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: saw that a headline the other day that whoever the

239
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: best player this year is in the USFL, he's got

240
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: three tryouts with the NFL teams. The best player in

241
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: the USFL, one guy tryouts. Like I remember when the

242
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: was the a a F happened, you know, three or

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: four of their guys got shots in the NFL. Daniel

244
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: Brunskill actually is a starter for the forty Niners played

245
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: in the a F, but he's one of few. College

246
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: football is the is the league that pumps everyone that

247
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: that's the feeder system. The XFL and the USFL. Let's

248
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: call a spade a spade. They are a money making

249
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: endeavor for the networks. The networks need content. You know

250
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: that you turn on television, it goes sixty five and

251
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I saw Colins say this, I saw it on Twitter.

252
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: Is that they made money at the USFL, USFL, I

253
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: think average fifty thousand viewers. Here's the funny part about

254
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: the NBA the NBA. If you turn on television, people

255
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: talk about it incessantly. It never stops. It's just NBA NBA.

256
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: You see the television ratings and the majority of teams

257
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: they don't. Most teams don't average seven viewers a game

258
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: like the Magic You know these do you think these

259
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: teams of them get seven viewers? No chance. A lot

260
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: of local baseball teams don't sniff that number. So it's

261
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: it's a very healthy number. Someone asked me, like, do

262
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: you watch No, I haven't watched a snap again. Not

263
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: why why? Why would I watch it? I'm not gonna

264
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: talk about it. It bores me, but I do respect that,

265
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: you know to it's just there. It's it's a money

266
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: making endeavor. That's simply what it is, which I respect,

267
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: but I don't think it impacts really the NFL at all.

268
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: The baseball season is here. This baseball season turn k's

Speaker 1: for the Ducks to survive and stay relevant nationally? Seems

307
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: like with U C L A U s C they

308
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: could fit in being the West coast compared to the

309
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: SEC being still very regional. Is their best bet to

310
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: work with you dub and ditch the rest. I think

311
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: what they need is the Big Ten wants to go

312
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: to twenty. Their best hope is that the Big Ten

313
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: and the SEC become the NFC and a f C,

314
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: and that would be the SEC adding and listen, I

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: know there are variables and contracts. I'm just speaking big picture.

316
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: They would need this to happen. The SEC is adding

317
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Texas and Oklahoma. They need four more teams to get

318
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: to twenty. To me, if they added Miami, Florida State, Clemson,

319
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: and let's say North Carolina. Now you do whatever whatever

320
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: their packages of the four teams, the Big Ten then

321
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: would want to get to twenty and then basically those

322
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: two sets of teams have like five teams on each

323
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: side make the playoffs kind of NFL style. Maybe it

324
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: could be six whatever, but that way the Big Ten

325
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: would add ideally Notre Dame, Stanford, Oregon, Washington. So when

326
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten season happened every single night during the

327
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: conference play, you'd have several games on the West coast Stanford, Iowa, Washington, Wisconsin,

328
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: u C l A, Michigan, Michigan State, Oregon, right, and

329
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: you would just constantly have programming for Fox. Because I

330
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: really starting to piss me off, like, oh, the television

331
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: networks are just playing kingmaker. Well, yeah, they're spending all

332
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: the fucking money you can't have. We want to get

333
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: all the money. If you're a program and then not

334
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: listen to your partners, you don't get to just take

335
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: all the money and have them not get to dictate

336
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: any of the terms. It's called a contract. Both people

337
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: need to sign. So if I'm Fox, I want more

338
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: bigger I want bigger brands, and I want programming at

339
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: night at seven thirty and right now they only have

340
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: one West Coast team. Now, luckily I would guess USC

341
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: and u c l A. Once the Big Ten Conference

342
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: play starts, one of those teams will play every single

343
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: week on the West Coast, and more likely than not

344
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those games will be at night seven

345
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: o'clock kickoffs for television. But you can't tell me that, like,

346
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: why does television get to make all this pool because

347
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: they're spending all the money. They're the one funding this all. Now.

348
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: The reason they're doing it is because these teams bring

349
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot to the table. But it's a two way street.

350
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: You can't be like, why do you why does Mintelkoff

351
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: have to do things for the volume? I don't know,

352
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: because we're in business together, so I gotta give into stuff.

353
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: They gotta give it. It's a it's a partnership. That's

354
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: how the world works. I get why the television networks

355
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: have a lot of juice. ESPN just paid a historic

356
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: amount of money for the SEC, so of course they're

357
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna want Texas and Oklahoma there. They're the ones cutting

358
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: all the checks. You think the money just falls from

359
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: the sky. It's what the NBA guys always do. This.

360
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: They're always complaining. It's like you guys understand the fans,

361
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: like you're always bitching the moner of the fans. They

362
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: provide all the cash. You gotta understand where the money

363
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: comes from. Then it helps you're not getting mad at

364
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: stupid stuff because without any of the stuff, Like if

365
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: the money didn't exist, all this stuff will just be

366
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: Y m c A sports. But because of people will

367
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: consume it. And this is why this is becoming such

368
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: a consolidated thing. There's so much money in the line

369
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: now we can argue all day long. It sucks. I agree.

370
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see the Pact twelve disappear, but

371
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: like they've been irrelevant for a decade. So when you

372
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: basically irrelevant for a decade, what are we supposed to do.

373
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: I recently heard you talk about how we don't talk

374
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: enough about incompetent head coaches. I was wondering if it

375
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: is more relevant to talk about incompetent owners since these

376
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: guys higher fire the head coaches, and it seems most

377
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: of the same franchise consentered continue to psych through incompetent coaches.

378
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Let me know your thoughts. I think the reason that

379
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: you know it's it's harder to talk about owners being

380
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: idiots where we can talk about coaches being idiots, because

381
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: I get to judge a coach. You know, every week

382
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: his team plays, we see if they're good or bad.

383
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: We see how well they do on offense, We see

384
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: how well prepared they are, we see we see how

385
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: many penalties they have, we see how tough they are.

386
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: I can judge the coach based on his team. Right,

387
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: It's harder as an owner because you go, well, he's

388
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: not coaching the team, he didn't pick the players. He's

389
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: just sitting there now. Obviously some owners are much more

390
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: credible and better than other guys. That's not even arguable,

391
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: but it's harder to quantify that. Besides, like wins and losses.

392
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: But again, wins and losses, we just blame the coach

393
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: or the quarterback or the general manager, and the owner goes, well,

394
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: I hire the guy. I don't meddle, I gave him

395
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: all his resources. So it's clear like Dean Spanos is

396
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: really cheap. The Lions and Bears owners are archaic. They

397
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: have no fucking clue what's going on. But it's like,

398
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, they hire Matt Patrician, dan Quinn two Patriot

399
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: guys who sunk the ship. It's like, do I put

400
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: that on Martha Ford or you know the f one fifties.

401
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, the Bears hired a guy

402
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: that just said he's going to dominate the North, Like, no,

403
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: you're not Ryan. As long as Aaron Rodgers there, he's

404
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna beat the ship out of you guys. But like,

405
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: if they tank, the whole deal was it was it

406
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: the mc caskey's problem that they drafted two corners or

407
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: two dbs in the second round with no alignment. I

408
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: don't know. So it's it's it's more difficult to play

409
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: that game. So you could argue it's just easier to

410
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: blame the coaches because I get to see it. I

411
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: know you take show recommendations on the pod. I can

412
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: only speculate you have seen bosh I have, as it

413
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: may be Amazon's best cop series. Agree, fantastic. I got

414
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: an ad for Bosch Legacy some free apps I've never

415
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: heard of. However, Titus Welliver delivered again. Even if I

416
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: had to endure commercials to refill my drink or take

417
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: a leak like back in the day, I agree, it's

418
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: very very good. I just started. I mean I lasted

419
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: like ten minutes. I was pretty tired. I fell asleep.

420
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: But Chris Pratt's new show, it looks like, you know,

421
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a marine. I don't even know. I

422
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: honestly don't know much about the show. The first scene

423
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of felt like the rock, like they're they're they're underneath, uh,

424
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: like in a sewage type area, shooting them up and

425
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: guys are getting blasted. Uh. It's like, I think the

426
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: show has a lot of potential. I've had a lot

427
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: of people forward me. I think it's called the terminal list.

428
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: Um anytime marines people getting lit up early in a

429
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: in a movie or a show I'm in. What's your

430
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: prediction on the Deshaun Watson will play this year or

431
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: not with the huge contract given to him and how

432
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: much of a guaranteed he got. Do you think Jimmy

433
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Haslum is gonna have an influence on Goodell in terms

434
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: of the suspension, Levied? I don't think Roger Goodale gives

435
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: us one. You know what about Jimmy Haslum So I

436
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: think Jimmy Haslum has zero factor into any of this.

437
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean at this point in time,

438
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna have uh, basically the the

439
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 1: suspension levied weeks ago. That's why I don't ever try

440
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: to figure this stuff out. I gave my educated guests.

441
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: I've told you what I would do. I would suspend

442
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: him indefinitely until it all plays out. My guests would

443
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: be he gets a year. Florio wrote that it's not

444
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: crazy to think that he gets eight games. Who knows,

445
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, just tell me when it comes.

446
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: At this point, like we've get we've all given our guesses,

447
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: We've all given our opinions. I'm out on Deshaun Watson

448
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: in terms of my my energy and my words. Give

449
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 1: me let me know when he's suspended, then I'll give

450
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: you my take. But as of right now, I honestly

451
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: have no clue. Uh nothing ever surprises me. Big Brown's

452
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: fan here. Unfortunately, it's always interesting to hear an outsiders

453
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: thoughts on the madness. Assuming Watson gets hit with a

454
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: suspension for the season, what do you think the bown

455
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: Brown's best route is for the future. I think if

456
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: that happens that they end up trading for Jimmy Garoppolo

457
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: and Jacoby's are back up, and those two guys are

458
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: buddies because they played together in New England. I actually

459
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: think it's a pretty easy transition. Now they probably have

460
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: to work out the salary. No way they're gonna pay

461
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: him twenty seven million dollars. Uh. So my guess would

462
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: be that if Deshaun is suspended for a year, that

463
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: they trade for Jimmy Garoppolo and basically have Jimmy Garoppolo

464
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette and try to compete uh in that division.

465
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking actually the other day that division is

466
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. I think the Ravens are gonna

467
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: be They're gonna be back this year. They got a

468
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: ton of guys coming back off injury. Their defense is

469
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. The BEng goals, I mean, that offense

470
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: is sweet. They're gonna be solid. The Steelers, I don't

471
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: know how good their offense is gonn to be, but

472
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: their defense is gonna be awesome. And the Browns roster

473
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: is unreal. Now their quarterback situation is a little influx.

474
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: But if you give him Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Bursett,

475
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: maybe they can patch it together with USC and U

476
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: C l A leaving the Pact twelve for the Big Ten.

477
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: College football seems to be aligning to maximize TV revenues, competition,

478
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: and perhaps finally settle the national championship question via true playoff.

479
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: Can you see the NFL rebalancing their divisions towards a

480
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: similar goal? NFC North, a f C South truly have

481
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: been have not been competitive? Uh, how would Seattle change

482
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: the makeup of the NFC North or Miami moving the

483
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: a f C South. Also really looking forward to hearing

484
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: about your experience once you complete the move to Scottsdale

485
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: and become fully acclimated. Does it change your politics, thoughts

486
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: on family success, etc. Or does California lifestyle cleanly transferred. Yeah,

487
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think on the latter part there

488
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: much it's gonna change. My politics haven't changed in twenty years.

489
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean I thought the same when I was poor

490
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: as I do, and I have some money. That will

491
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: change nothing. Now as you get older, you know, family,

492
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: different things change in your mind. But I'm moving for

493
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: financial reasons. It's pretty black and white. It doesn't pencil

494
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: for me to be here, period, point blank, end of

495
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: the story. This isn't wherever I went. I could go

496
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: to Nevada, Nashville, Texas. It's a financial move, and it's

497
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: a big picture financial move. The amount of money I'm

498
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: giving here and the return on investment does not add up.

499
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty That's the only reason I'm leaving. But

500
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: all that's the other stuff has zero factor. This is

501
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: a financial move and a big picture, long term move.

502
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: It's like drafting a quarterback at number one. You're not

503
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: drafting him for two Thou're drafting him for the next

504
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Now, obviously in life you're doing you're making

505
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: moves for the next however many years, hopefully in thirty seven,

506
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: live another fifty. You know. I actually was stumbled upon

507
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: these uh these Johnny Carson, Don Rickles, the YouTube's and one.

508
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: They were both forty seven years old and they were

509
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: talking there. They were the same age, and this is

510
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: like nineteen seventy two or whatever. They look so old.

511
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: It's crazy how old people looked in like the sixties

512
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: and seventies. It really is. I mean, it's insane. I'm

513
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: looking at Johnny Carson s always forty seven years old.

514
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: I see people that there are forty seven years old

515
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: right now that look like twenty. How did they look

516
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: so old? Now? Part of it they didn't color their hair.

517
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Obviously they drank and smoked, you know, not that we don't.

518
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: But the cigarette thing, um that the diets were a

519
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: lot different, even though Johnny was skinny on the real linement.

520
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL. Why would the NFL. The

521
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: NFL is maximizing revenue, so I I don't think that

522
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: they change at all. Never have followed much less watch golf.

523
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: But you got me hooked with your Golo pot love

524
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: the mix of business and sports. You bring question for

525
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: the pot what company from a culture perspective would you

526
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: most compare the Cleveland Browns too? What about the Rams?

527
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: I would compare the Cleveland Browns to Twitter. Uh, there's

528
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Twitter. Uh it's it's just

529
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: talked about NonStop. Did we never stop talking about Twitter

530
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: or the Cleveland Browns yet? Over the last decade, tech

531
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: and these companies made so much fucking money. It was

532
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 1: the greatest tech boom we've ever seen. Up until like

533
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: six months ago, Twitter stocked in budge. They didn't make

534
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: any money relative to their peers. Everyone was print in

535
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: cash dominating. Twitter went nowhere, but it feels big because

536
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: the media loves and sits and lives on Twitter. There

537
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: was a report today that Elon Musk is backing out.

538
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna attempt to Obviously, there are stipulations in the

539
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: contract because he believes that the majority of accounts are bots.

540
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: And honestly, I think I'm on elon side. If you

541
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: told me that the majority of counts on Twitter are fake,

542
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: they claim like twelve percent of the American populations on Twitter.

543
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: Elon believes it's like five. I actually I don't know

544
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: the number. Maybe it's seven eight. I'm closer to Elon

545
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: than I am. The media thinks it's a big deal.

546
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: The media gives away all their takes on Twitter for free.

547
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: The Browns never shut up about anything. I would say

548
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: the Rams would be like a progressive company that's kicking

549
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: ass and making a lot of money. Uh, like a Shopify,

550
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, or a Spotify. And again I know those

551
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: stocks are way down, But big picture, I would short

552
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: the living ship out of Twitter. People like Twitter is

553
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: a sleeping giant. No it's not. It's a negative place

554
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: full of hate. It sucks. Twitter sucks, and I'm someone

555
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: who does business on the internet. It no revenue is generated.

556
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: Absolutely no money is made TikTok. People making millions Instagram.

557
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: Nobody makes any money on Twitter. Yet we talked about

558
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: it non stop. I think all the time, like, why

559
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: don't I just deactivate Listen. I'm sick. I kind of

560
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: hold on, but I don't know why. If if you

561
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: told me that Ellen bought it and nuked it and

562
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: blew it up, I would throw a party. I would

563
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: much rather spend all my time on you and I

564
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: try to YouTube, Instagram, try to get on TikTok a

565
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: little bit, but I only have so much energy. That's

566
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: where the revenue flows. So I would say the rams,

567
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: I'd do like shopify or Spotify, something that's gonna just

568
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: they just were ahead of the game. Would be my comparison. Uh,

569
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: sounds like you're in Scottsdale, my backyard. Check out a

570
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: spot called Isabella's Kitchen at Grayhawk Been They're awesome. Uh,

571
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: that's all he said. Isabelle is gray Hawk is where

572
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: they had the college national championship. Isabelle's as a restaurant.

573
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: They have two courses and it's right in the middle.

574
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: It's Phil Micholson's restaurant. Uh, do you believe that the

575
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers being an ownerless team is primary factor

576
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: for their historical success as a franchise, as well as

577
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: advantage for success in the future. As teams around the

578
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: league get picked up by meddling tycoons with limited or

579
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 1: no understanding of running sports teams, it seems the Packers

580
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: organizational structure provides a firewall that other teams, especially the

581
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: perennial bad ones, don't have the safeguard long term strategies

582
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: from impatient billionaire owners. I mean, I think that sounds

583
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: good in theory, but I think we're overthinking it. I

584
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: think their success is tied to going back to back

585
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterbacks. They've had Brett Farvan Aaron Rodgers.

586
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: Now going on well, I mean we're almost two twenty three.

587
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Brett Farve got there in might have

588
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: been ninety two. Maybe he was drafted, and so let's

589
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: just say for argument's sake, so at the end of

590
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: this season, they will have had three straight years of

591
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: their starting quarterbacks being Brett forv in Aaron Rodgers. If

592
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: you gave the Lions or the Browns Brett forv and

593
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, even they could overcome it. It's like if

594
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: Ellen runs Twitter, it will work. Why because literally everything

595
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: the guy cut touches works. If you give the people

596
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: that run Twitter now they're basically you know, the Browns,

597
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna suck. Like in theory, the Browns like have

598
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: a really good roster now, but they gave two thirty

599
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: million dollars to a guy who has I mean half

600
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: of Texas coming after him for sexual assault. How do

601
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: you feel about Colin enjoy being soft on Draymond? They're

602
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: little to no criticism on him in the finals and

603
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: kept promoting his podcast. Isn't it a conflict of interest? Yeah?

604
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean Colins in business with Draymond. Have you seen

605
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: his YouTube numbers? It prints cash for the volume. Draymond

606
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: is a star. Here's what I will say about Draymond.

607
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: In the finals, he was the first guy to say

608
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: when he'd have a shitty game, I sucked, said it

609
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: multiple times on his podcast. Here what I will also

610
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: say about Draymond. I have watched this entire Warriors run

611
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: since about two thou in a league full of guys

612
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: making forty fifty million dollars who I wouldn't pay ten

613
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: million dollars because it comes nut cutting time and the

614
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: lights are the brightest, they crumble like a cookie. Chris Paul's,

615
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: James Harden's Anthony Davis doesn't even like basketball. Now, I'm

616
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: not saying Draymond is as good as those guys, but

617
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: when I play in a big game or a big series,

618
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Draymond Green is a fucking war daddy. He is an absolute,

619
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: stone cold winner. And the Warriors and Steve Kerr would

620
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: tell you this, Steph Curry would tell you this. He

621
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: is not a replaceable part on their team. Now again,

622
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: no one's saying he's a fifty million dollar player or

623
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: like a top fifteen NBA player, but he is an

624
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: absolute winning player when it matters most his entire career.

625
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, he had some bad games, but he

626
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: also had some great games like Game five in Game

627
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: six when he clowned let me repeat, clowned the Celtics.

628
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: And in a league full of overpaid, over hyped players that,

629
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: let's face it, the consumer doesn't watch anymore. The NBA

630
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: ratings are down by half over the last five or

631
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: six years. Draymond Green's got four ranks and played a

632
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: been a starter on a team that kicks the ship

633
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: out of basically everyone for eight straight years. Well they

634
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: got Kevin Durant, Well they won before him, and they

635
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: sure as hell one after him. So yeah, he had

636
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: some bad games, you know, I mean it happens. Rogers

637
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: has some bad games. You know, Aaron Judge strikes out

638
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: three times in the game, but one Collin's gonna promote

639
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: his podcast? Why these partners with him? And to what

640
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: are you supposed to say? Cut Draymond Green, go ahead,

641
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: James Harden, Puke, go get Chris Paul. You mean the

642
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: guy that can't win a big game to save his life.

643
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: So I just I don't get it, man, And I

644
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 1: get why people don't like Draymond. He's outspoken and listen.

645
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: I like his take recently on Kevin Durant. I couldn't

646
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: disagree with him more, saying like, let Kevin Durand make

647
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Busin decisions. No, Kevin Durand got to make Busin decisions.

648
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: He told the nets to do absolutely everything. The consumers

649
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: tired of this mercenary nature of the NBA. Why of

650
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: the warriors resonate and do such big ratings because they're

651
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 1: not a group of mercenaries. They've been together for what

652
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: a decade Steph Clay and Draymond. That's what we want

653
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, stock to him alone, Michael

654
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: and Pippen, Chemalijah One, Patrick Ewing, the Stars are on

655
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: the same teams forever. That works. That's what the NFL has,

656
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: that's the model. We don't mind a guy moving teams

657
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: every once in a while. But the mercenary nature of

658
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: the NBA that Lebron has led is cool on Twitter again,

659
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: irrelevant and for the players, which is fine, but the

660
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: fans dictate the success of the league and it turns

661
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: off the fans. So when Kevin Durant demands a trade,

662
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: like people are gonna be turned off by that. It

663
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: just is like Kevin is Mike Lebron just a mercenary.

664
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: But I'll give Lebron credit on this. Never demanded a trade,

665
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 1: never been traded that might eventually happen, but plays out

666
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: his contract. Kevin is just Kevin's exhausting. I think a

667
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: lot of NBA players are just exhausting. One thing. The

668
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: Warriors aren't. They're not exhausting because they're constantly kicking the

669
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: ship out of everyone gets in their way. They've been

670
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: doing it now for nine years. I mean it's just

671
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: it's basically unprecedented in this modern day mercenary NBA. Why

672
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: because they don't bounce around Kevin? You want in cool Kevin?

673
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: You want to leave? See you, We'll keep kicking your ass.

674
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: And that that's what happened. So I I think I

675
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: haven't heard all of his takes on him. But of

676
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: course he's gonna promote his podcast. It's on the volume.

677
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: We're in the business of promoting what we're you know,

678
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: in the business with I mean, let's just called good business. Right,

679
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Why does Fox want USC

680
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: and U C l A. That's not fair because they're

681
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: gonna make him a lot of money. That's the way

682
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: the world works. Why why don't everyone crush Draymond Green

683
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: because he's got four rings and he's clowned clowned bigs

684
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: in the league for a long period of time. Now

685
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: with Draymond Green have worked when I was a kid

686
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: against the Shacks and the Patrick Ewings, probably not, But

687
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: the league's gone tiny, Darryl Moorey, everyone shoot threes. That's

688
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: fine if you if you're gonna play small against the Warriors.

689
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: Draymond Green is the greatest small ball five we've ever

690
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: seen defensively. Uh, that's my warrior's rant. Audios, have a

691
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: good week. See it The volume
