00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: I got seven boxes weighing approximately fo pounds total um

18
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: that make up a bunk bed for the boys. So

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: that's my weekend. Gonna fly high. Now, I consider myself

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: my children's personal trainer. We call it bodied by g

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: so we've got some bike rides, We've got some you know,

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: runs around the neighborhood. It's gonna be big. I mean,

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: you just told us that parks and trails are cut down.

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: My my kids desperately need to move those arms and legs,

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how that gets accomplished at this

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: point other than you know, go get me this, go

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: get me that small child, which they're not very amenable to.

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: They officially closed the beaches in Los Angeles as of

29
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon. That's a shot across your bow, it is,

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: especially this last week when they took away the parking.

31
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: We've been just walking down kind of like the big

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: hill down there, and it's empty. It's been it's been

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: a good place to get exercised. Ricky. How about you, Yeah,

34
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: hanging out. I've been reading a really good book. I

35
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: like it'll be nice to just sort of be off

36
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: off the radar. What's the book. It's called A Secret

37
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: History by Donna Tart. Oh. Yeah, great, read that right, Yeah,

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: I think I've read that. Yeah, it's really cool. She's

39
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: actually reading the Jessica Simpson memoir. Yeah. I do want

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: to read that too, though, Actually I really do. How

41
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: your body's health. Me, my body's health. Yeah, how feels

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: like you've been testing it a little bit. Yeah, it's

43
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: been it's been bad. I've been putting it through the wringer.

44
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I think. Um, I woke up feeling hungover this morning

45
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: and I didn't even drink last night, So that's probably

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: not a good sign. That's that's curious. Um. This is

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: the Friday edition of You Around the NFL podcast. We

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: have come to you five days this week, and as

49
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: we promised, today's show will be a collaborative effort between us,

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: the heroes, and you the listeners, a mailbag episode of

51
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: the pod. But before that, there is some news. Again. Yes,

52
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: things have slowed slowed down considerably, but there is news

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: to hit. So let's start right there. All right, let's

54
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: start with a Little League calendar update. Roger Goodell has

55
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: made it official that the league's Management Council Executive Committee

56
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: as it's called, unanimously decided the draft will move forward

57
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: as planned April to ap will not be in Vegas,

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: as we know, but it will be done somehow, I imagine,

59
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: either from NFL network or just somehow video wise. It

60
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: will be beamed that way. But there was a push.

61
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier this week that some of

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: the gms, or the majority of the GM's felt that,

63
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: given all the obstacles presented by the COVID nineteen outbreak,

64
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: that these teams needed more time to make their decision. Well, rogers,

65
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 1: keeping things where they are your thoughts, Well, I think

66
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: it sets kind of the timeline for all these teams

67
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: to get their ducks in a row. We still have

68
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: almost a month until the draft. Tom Pella Sero has

69
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: kind of been reporting this all along, and Goodell said

70
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: it was unanimous and unequivocal at least among the Managers,

71
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: Commissioner Executive Committee. Uh, that this is gonna happen and

72
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: teams are just gonna have to deal with not having

73
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: pro days, not having physicals, and base it on the tape,

74
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: which they tell us, you know, over and over is

75
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: the most important part of the equation. I'm curious how

76
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna play out as a TV event, but I

77
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: guess I guess this means Wes and in Mark who

78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, Dan, Uh, it's time to start grinding. I mean,

79
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: get in there on the Murray State Knows tackles and

80
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: be ready for April. I mean, some of us have

81
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: been uh, you know, pouring through Murray State tape since

82
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: the middle of the middle of September, so I don't

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: know who you're addressing there. But at the same time,

84
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: like I feel like the minute free agency didn't get

85
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: delayed and the certain people didn't get their way on

86
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: free agency, and the leagues had pushed forward that the

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: draft doing the same. I think maybe if you want

88
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: to spend it as a proactive approach, that the hope

89
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: is if a lot of this passes by May or

90
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: you know, late late May or early June, that the

91
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: rest of this calendar just goes as planned versus do

92
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: I think the thing is, you don't want to delay

93
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: week one, week two, week three, but you know the

94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: boss is spoken. So yeah, after all these years of

95
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: questioning things, I have decided to keep towing the company

96
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: line and keep saying we only have a miniscule percentage

97
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: of the information that the decision makers have totally fine

98
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: with any decision they came up with. Well, but hey,

99
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking, just um, how we are in unprecedented

100
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 1: times where everything is changing and you see it everywhere.

101
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I'll I'll focus on entertainment, but you could I'm sure

102
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: take it across all spectrums of life. But movies now

103
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: are being moved that we're supposed to come out or

104
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: had just come out when this uh coronavirus hit, and

105
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: the moving being moved straight to on demand TV shows

106
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: like look like the late night shows, how they're just

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: doing um um stuff from their homes and it's very

108
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: low fi all of it. News shows used to be

109
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: get everybody in the in the studio and put all

110
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: the makeup on them and put them in their fancy suits.

111
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I wonder if one of the what comes out of

112
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: this whole, you know, globally life society changing thing is

113
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: could things change in the NFL as well? Could could

114
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: the idea that you wiped out Pro Days and you

115
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: wiped out this and you took the scouts off the road?

116
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Could it be when life goes back to normal? Hoping

117
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: it does. Uh that things could change across the world

118
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways, but even in the NFL.

119
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Maybe even the way we work, I mean everyone working remotely.

120
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: If it and and we'll we'll be like everybody needs

121
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: to be in the office all the time. I'm curious

122
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: to see what happens after this. Well, I do think

123
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: that part will change for a lot of people. I

124
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: think there will be more working remotely in many different fields.

125
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: But as far as the NFL, I can't imagine that

126
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna minimize. I can't imagine they're gonna go more

127
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: spartan with their activities throughout the year. When everything's back

128
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: to normal, I imagine they'll keep ramping it up. They

129
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: gotta get to that twenty five billion mark. Well, certain

130
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: certain teams. I mean, let's say, let's say your beloved,

131
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: former beloved Bengals realized, Wow, we saved x amount of

132
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: dollars by not putting scouts on the road for seven months,

133
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: and we came to the same conclusion anyway, Uh, maybe

134
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: they'll be decisions made on the economical level. I don't

135
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: know well, and the Bengals thrown office that's known as

136
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: the ES. We don't need scouts on the road. I

137
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: do wonder go ahead, and I do wonder if they

138
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: would change any aspects of the draft itself as a

139
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: tell of eyes um event, like how much time they're

140
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna take for each day, each pick, each night, like

141
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen, and that's something where they

142
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: could get creative I do kind of imagine they're gonna

143
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: be back in Vegas as as long as everything's uh

144
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: fine by then they're gonna want to have the show

145
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: of the guys going on the gondolas or whatever they

146
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: were going to do on the water, and they're gonna

147
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: blow it out bigger than ever. So I think things

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: could change, like, especially on the media front, if you

149
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: realize ratings don't rise or fall even though it's four

150
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: or five individuals reporting from four or five different locations

151
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,479
Speaker 1: and the production cost has been slashed down to one

152
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: vote of what it was. But the flip side, when

153
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: you look at certain things that have happened in history

154
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: where everyone was like you know, bunkerd away and not

155
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: able to live normally. That on the other end of that,

156
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: when when things get back to normal, sometimes you suddenly

157
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: have people going, you know, pell mell to the wall

158
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: and like wanting to enjoy society and wanting to re

159
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: enjoy a lot of those things all over again. So

160
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: west is point you mean the NFL might like hit

161
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: put the foot to the pedal coming out of this

162
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: for next year to be bigger than ever. I wouldn't

163
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: be surprised if they don't slow down one iota with

164
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: the way they want us to be the biggest thing

165
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: in sports versus allowing them. So let's take a pocketed,

166
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: small approach to society that just doesn't seem to be

167
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: in their d n A. I mean, the NFL got

168
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: lucky that this is all happening in the off season.

169
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: It seems like it's a big um disruption to the NFL,

170
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: and and it is, but compared to every other sport,

171
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of nothing. And it was supposed to be

172
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: opening day Major League right, and the timeline of it,

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, the season starting in September. We'll see, but

174
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: that that's still a pretty long timeline to where the

175
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: NFL could be in a position where you know, they're

176
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: part of things getting back to normal. Also, does the

177
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: draft need to be three days long? The changes the process.

178
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: I understand if you want to keep Thursday night limited

179
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: to the first round because that's more special. But couldn't

180
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: we hypothetically knock out the rest of the thing on

181
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Friday given you're you're stripping away all the popping circumstance.

182
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, no, no, because you've got Day three

183
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: where you've got you know, guerrillas and manatees and uh,

184
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: porcupines announcing you know, seventh round picks, and it's like,

185
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: it's we don't need this to be necessarily that when

186
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: we return to the norm. I love those talking porcupines

187
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: announcing the Raiders sixth round pick, and Mike Mayos had

188
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: exploding um all right. In other news, Antonio Brown, We've

189
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: already kind of talked about this, but now we have

190
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: it right from the horse's mouth. Bucks coach Bruce Arians

191
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: said the team will not be bringing in free agent

192
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver Antonio Brown. Tom Brady has some type of

193
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: deep level obsession with Brown. Um, both with the Patriots,

194
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: where Brown briefly played, and apparently he had he had

195
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: although I don't know where this came from exactly if

196
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: this is actually on record that tom Brady wanted Antonio

197
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: Brown and Tampa as well. But here's an Arians had

198
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: to say. There's no there's no room and probably not

199
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: enough money. It's just not gonna happen here. It's not

200
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a fit here. Of course, Arians was with Antonio Brown

201
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh and reportedly he didn't see eye to eye

202
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: with the talented but troubled wide receiver. He did say

203
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: he's looking for a pass catching running back. UM, what

204
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: about a Levy on Bell Bruce Arians reunion. Although, if

205
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: he's citing money is an issue, Levan Bell is in

206
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: the upper tier of money earning running backs. But perhaps

207
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: that could be worked out with the New York Football Jets.

208
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't think Arians and Levyan Bell were in Pittsburgh together.

209
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: I think Arians was in Arizona above it. Ah, you're right,

210
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: Bell arrived. Um. As far as Antonio Brown, UM, I

211
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: know I've been pretty vocal about this. UM, it does

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: not surprise me that somebody who was in Pittsburgh with

213
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: him does not want him in the locker room. Contrary

214
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: to the conspiracy theories that Antonio Brown's issues are all

215
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: related to Vontes Perfects hit. If you read UM, and

216
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of articles about this about Antonio Brown's

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: time in Pittsburgh, the troubles go back years and years, UM,

218
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: to the point where Mike Tomlin, even five, six, seven

219
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: years ago, was making separate rules for one guy versus

220
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: the other fifty two guys, and Bruce Arians was there

221
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: and he saw all that. I like, the Arians is

222
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: so definitive about this, just giving us, you know, making

223
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: it clear that's what you like about Arians like. I

224
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: also found it interesting how he really defended Tom Brady's

225
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: deep ball, uh maybe taking a shot across your bow

226
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: their west, saying he he thinks he throws a great

227
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: deep ball, and that's gonna be a big part of

228
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: their offense, the play action deep ball games, so we

229
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: will see. My biggest problem with Brady is his reduced mobility,

230
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: not his deep ball. And I think you can see

231
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: some of the arm strength uh diminished on sideline throws,

232
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily deep ball throws. I like what Greg said.

233
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for Arians, who is a

234
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, a decided man's man, and it's not to

235
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: not be a wilting flower and just uh, you know,

236
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: cave in and say maybe we'll do whatever Tom Brady wants.

237
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any obviously. I think those

238
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: two are thrilled to be working together. And he was

239
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: pretty pretty um he hit it pretty hard that they're

240
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: gonna find that pass catching back in the draft and

241
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: that he considered this draft for remaining holes absolutely critical.

242
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like there's also no suddenly

243
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: no pressure on Jason light who should have a lot

244
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: of pressure on him in general, Um, because of this

245
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady thing. But you know you need to come

246
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: out of this with a couple guys that can help

247
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Brady in this type of offense right away. And so

248
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Arians says, obviously, what is Tom Brady? You can say,

249
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: I'll talk all you want about his deep ball, but

250
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I would see them looking for running back

251
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: that can catch sixty seventy passes that was that would

252
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: help him more than trying to convince us that Tom

253
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Brady can still throw at sixty yards through the air

254
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: like anyone. I would say, the pressure is maybe a

255
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: little bit off Jason Light because that was one of

256
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: the genius master strokes that we've seen in free agency

257
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: for some time. Absolutely, but like but otherwise it had

258
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: that not happened and they were clinging to James, the

259
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Winston people would be going nuts, you know, because he

260
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: was Jamis Winston was about to get everybody fired. And

261
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: they made They came to the right decision, and I

262
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: think they needed help, as I've said on this show,

263
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: and um it it came up in the latest Peter

264
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: King Monday Morning Quarterback as he still called that no

265
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: football day in America. I don't know, um Morning Football

266
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Morning in America that they felt pretty good. The Bucks

267
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: felt pretty good about jams Winson. Now the London game,

268
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: which we talked about, Um, that spooked them with the

269
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: five turn up, the five interceptions in the two picks

270
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: but fumbles, but then he kind of put it himself

271
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: together and entering week six team they were feeling pretty

272
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: good about him. And then when he bombed out in

273
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: those two last weeks, it kind of sealed his fate

274
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: in Tampa. It sounded like, so good on Jason Light

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: going on Bruce Arians for not you know, staying the course.

276
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: And now they it seems like they have a uh,

277
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: just a fresh lease on life now with Brady, it's

278
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: all hunky dory. In other news, Michael Brocker's is back

279
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: with the Rams. He signs a three year contract. You

280
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: can make up to thirty one and a half million. Uh.

281
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: This is very similar to the contract he agreed to

282
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: with the Ravens almost two weeks ago. But the Ravens,

283
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: as we talked about on Thursday show, had some issues

284
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: with his physical his ankle specifically, so they backed out

285
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: of the deal and now he comes back to the Rams.

286
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: So you know this is a interesting way for Brockers

287
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: to continue his employment with his team, But that's the

288
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: way it works out sometimes, especially this year Mark with

289
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: the UM lack of ability to go visit the teams

290
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: and whatnot, this was kind of inevitable you'd have some

291
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: of these cases. Yeah, I know, I've been hitting that

292
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: UM maybe overly hard this week UM as a as

293
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: a factor, but it's you know, I find the thing

294
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: I find interesting is that you know he got hurt

295
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: in the in the finale, that why uh, how differently

296
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: certain teams act Because if it's a medical thing, you know,

297
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens for some reason red flag not doing this

298
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: deal with someone that I would think would be healthy

299
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: at some point during the like early in the first

300
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: season and be fine, and the Rams say yes. So

301
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I I'd like to know at some point how the

302
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: two operate and why the Ravens were so much more

303
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: cautious when it's such a big need for their team.

304
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Tricky spot for the Ravens too, because they had traded

305
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: Chris warmly to the Steelers because they thought they had

306
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: his replacement in Brocker's and now they don't have either.

307
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: I went after and Dominican sue before the Bucks resigned him,

308
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: so that might explain why they went after super. I

309
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: think back to last week, like the middle of last week,

310
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: which now feels like doesn't free agency Frenzy when they

311
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: were still doing that show feel like it was like

312
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: that's how long ago that was? But but I think

313
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: I think back to one segment where I saw them

314
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: ask um, Daniel Jeremiah he does a podcast. No, no,

315
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: he's the draft analyst for NFL network right right now.

316
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought he did something with one of

317
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: the women from Love Is Buying and something like that

318
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: and something that's okay, And and they asked him who's

319
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: the biggest winner of free agency so far? And he

320
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: said the Ravens, a team he used to work for us.

321
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a little bias there whatever,

322
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: And he talked about, you know, the Calais Campbell Michael

323
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Brocker's duo in the middle, and that's gonna make all

324
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: the difference. Well, guess what here we are a week later.

325
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: Brocker's isn't even on that team. That analysis makes zero sense. Well,

326
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: that's well, said Greg Well said. Indeed, finally, let's head

327
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: to kick her corner. Excuse me, the kicker club, and

328
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: this one's got me uncomfortable. The Cowboys signed Greg the

329
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: legs Areline, formerly of the Rams, to a three year,

330
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: seven and a half million dollar contract. Um he teams

331
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: Bones the special teams coordinator John Bones Fossil, who joined

332
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's staff in Dallas this offseason, and Zirline, after

333
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: a long run with the Rams, joins the big Day.

334
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I mean, let's just keep it real.

335
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: We got an issue here because Kai for Bath. We

336
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: just talked about it last week he signed a deal

337
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. You're gonna tell me that you're gonna,

338
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna lull Kai four Bath into a

339
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: false sense of security. He goes ten for ten for

340
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: you down the stretch, almost kicks into the damn playoffs.

341
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: You give him a deal, and then a week later

342
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: you signed one of the war well known kickers to

343
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: the league to a saucy money deal. That's a killer move.

344
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: I mean, Kai's Kai, and I get that, but that

345
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: feels personal. I mean, I'm reading this stuff in Dallas like, oh,

346
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: it's a kicking competition. Give me a break. I mean,

347
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: they did Kai dirty. They stuck a knife in his back.

348
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: It's it's Gregg the Leg's jobs. Hi, Kai, come it off?

349
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: Ten for ten. Kai could have probably caught on and

350
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: actually signed with the team that would have given him

351
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: a chance to start. Like Greg said, there's no way

352
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fair competition unless Greg the

353
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: Leg gets hurt. I just wonder if they came the

354
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys to the same conclusion that you know your initial

355
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: um you know medical staff sources were telling you about

356
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: that this. You know, maybe there's more to it than

357
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: just the going ten for ten is not good enough

358
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: down the stretch of last season the locker room? Is

359
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: he a fit in the locker room? Kai for bro?

360
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Why did they sign him? Then? I don't, well, because

361
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: who know, I don't an answer to that. They didn't

362
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: know they could get Greg the Leg. What is the

363
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: I gotta find out the four bath money. Hang on

364
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: a second, Well, I don't think there's much guarantees, but

365
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I do know there's three and a half million of

366
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: guarantees for zerlines. So it really feels like comition. Kai

367
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: should ask for his release. This should be the drama

368
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: that we uh that we are covering all offseason him

369
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: like angling to get out of Dallas. Let him be

370
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: What about Kai to the Patriots. I mean, they certainly

371
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: have a needed kicker. They already cut him last year,

372
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: didn't they. Well, this is a different version of they're

373
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: they're fine about that ten kicks segment of the season.

374
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: He was money West. There was nothing. There was nothing

375
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: tucking inside the upright or just barely grazing over the crossbar.

376
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: It was straight down the middle. Every kick he had

377
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: included a couple of bombs, as I recall, right, like

378
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: I like you described it as tucking it inside the uprights,

379
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: because it's a very Tucker like performance. Ten ten out

380
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: of tend Some might say small sample size, but if

381
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: you extrapolate that over a full sixteen game season, he

382
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: ties Gary Anderson's single season accuracy marked for not missing

383
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: a kick right, and you know he's not blowing it

384
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: h in the NFC title game if he got his chance.

385
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: Uh for the record. According to over the Cap, he

386
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: signed a one million dollar one year deal. If they

387
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: cut him before June one, uh, they do it leaves

388
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: basically nothing in dead money less than a million bucks.

389
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Do the right I mean, do the right thing. It's

390
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: not it's not how you treat a guy. This guy's

391
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: a veteran. This guy is thirty three years old, he's

392
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: got a family. Give him a chance, and you never

393
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: know what he's capable of. No, guys, guy, man, guys, guy,

394
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: that's what's happening in the news. All right. Why is

395
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush trending? Let me look into this Reggie Bush.

396
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: We worked with him briefly on our Twitter show. I

397
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: thought we had a pretty good relationship with him. Um,

398
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: he seemed to like it, uh, doing our video show.

399
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: He found us to be funny or at least amusing.

400
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: He bought us all shots at the holiday party, which

401
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think was just a hollow gesture. He seemed

402
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: to watch twice two straight holiday events. The night before

403
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and we ended up in a bar, same bar

404
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: as him in Venice. He bought us shots. Then that

405
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: it again at the holiday party. Now it should be

406
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: said that the Twitter show he kind of just disappeared

407
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: at one point. It never came back. So I just

408
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: want to say that that was disappointing. However, um, the

409
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: reason he is trending show, But that's you know, no,

410
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: But the Twitter show we did through January, right and

411
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: got another Yeah, I think he disappeared and then he

412
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: got a changed company, So there's there is some seed

413
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: of an explanation. He was like, I only want to

414
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: finish out my commitment. Is that okay? Fox? And they're like, no, sorry,

415
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: I can't do the Twitter show. I see us as

416
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: close companions. I don't really see a debate there. I mean,

417
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: every all the evidence points to a very tight relationship. Well,

418
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm happy to report he's not trending because he has

419
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. It looks like it's just a bunch of

420
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: goons on Twitter talking about who's the best college running

421
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: back in history? So good for them. All right, let's

422
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: open up the mail bag. Let's do it, let's have

423
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: some fun. This one is from our buddy Eric Jensen

424
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: at Eric eighteen, Utah. If you had to pick one player, coach,

425
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: GM NFL personality to spend the coming apocalypse with, who

426
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: would it be? And? Right, boys, I'll start out well,

427
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: immediately eliminated coaches and gms, because I want someone if

428
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the Apocops is coming, and as fit and um dominant

429
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: physical shape as possible, because you don't know what's gonna

430
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen, you might need to help.

431
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm a person. I'm not looking for any

432
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: drama in my life like adding another person or just

433
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: hanging out with one person. I don't know, sounds problematic.

434
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: So I thought, who's like the most fit and chill

435
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: player I can think of? It's Teddy Bridgewater. I mean,

436
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a fine time with Teddy Bridgewater. Uh.

437
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be agreeable. You're gonna have a good time.

438
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be at now. He's also his air

439
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: yards per attempt might match his personality. No, he he comes,

440
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: he is, Uh, I know a little bit bit about

441
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: his backs. I mean he comes from a very tough

442
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: background that he over goot. He's got a lot of

443
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: toughness inside of him. He's got a lot of positivity.

444
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: I want someone positive who's been through a lot more

445
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: than I've been through to lead me through the the apocalypse.

446
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: It's good, it's a good one. I I have to

447
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: go with someone that I, um could I spoke with

448
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: in person and I found this individual to be pretty

449
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: captivating and just one second like, yeah, you have like

450
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, greg Is Winston Churchill or something I mean,

451
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: he's been through so much that I could never compare.

452
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: He's a football player, he's seven years I'm saying about

453
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: his his background and his upbringing. Um, he has been

454
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: through a lot more than than probably all right, I'll

455
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: do my research. Those skills, those skills could come in handy. Plus,

456
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone in the NFL or coaches, so

457
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: you're you're flying blind here. Alright. There's that video of

458
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: him dancing down the sideline to where I that he

459
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: had a more personality than I imagined beforehand. So you

460
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: never know. Greg bit of a wild card. Drew Stanton

461
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: was a great dancer on the sideline too. Well. I

462
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: think some of these guys are more fun to hang

463
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: out with than they are playing football. I So the

464
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: person that I spoke with gave me a pretty incredible

465
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: comment about, um, the quarterback on this person's team. This

466
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: is the owner of the Detroit Lions, Martha Firestorm Firestone Ford.

467
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: Who when I'm gonna be hanging out through Uh, you

468
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: know the society is crumbling? Okay, Because I was like,

469
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, like John Schnyder, Mike Rabel, like all these

470
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: assumed cool guys who have a lot of responsibilities right

471
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: now and probably are freaking out and not that much

472
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: fun to hang out with because their careers are all

473
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: on fire. I want to pick Ford, who uh. I

474
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: would imagine she lives in a a lavish um, well

475
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: stocked Uh, you know, ultra bunker with like jewel and

476
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: crested walls. Uh. And I just go from huge room

477
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: to huge room with a nice glass of champagne. The

478
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: world can't touch us. And I'm sure she's a delightful

479
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: person to hang out with, big roaring fireplace. I mean,

480
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: what what's not to like just outside of Detroit? No earthquakes?

481
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: What what what about when the people come to like

482
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: take that house and you have to run, Well, that's

483
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: where the friendship been. Then I've gotta you know, then

484
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: I've got to go do what I've gotta do, live

485
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: to see another another day. Please? How about us? Well,

486
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say NFL on corks Lakisha Westling would

487
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 1: be my choice, you know, if it's an NFL personality,

488
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: but I didn't think you guys would let me get away,

489
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: so it did say slash NFL personality or something that

490
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: would count. But west she is. She listened to every

491
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: show still. Uh, she tries to I don't know if

492
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: she's keeping up. All right, let me let you off

493
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: the hook, exempting your wife. UM, okay, thank you for

494
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: that generous of you. I looked at this the same

495
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: way Greg did. It's like, who can I stand for

496
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: hours at a time? Um? And I came up with

497
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: Chris Long, recently retired pass rusher of the Eagles Rams Patriots.

498
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: A guy whenever he's tweeted out anything, whenever I see

499
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: an interview, whenever he's in Africa digging wells for homeless

500
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: people or climbing Mount kiluman Jar, just seems like a

501
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: cool guy. Um And I'd like to hang out with him.

502
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: So that's what I want to spend the apoca and

503
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: I have to fight off Damnishek. That's true damage I

504
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: can join us. Give me you want to be on

505
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: a deserted island with damnascheck? That's that's a lot. Was

506
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: there a deserted island? This is like you're you're you're

507
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: there spend the coming apocalypse with? So this seems to

508
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: be like the pandemic gets worse, we're gonna need a

509
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: court jester. So Damnishek will be there. Um. I will

510
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: go with Tony Romo. Um, I just mostly because he's

511
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: like a total bro. I feel like we could listen

512
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: to Pearl Jam albums together and talk about the nineties

513
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: and talk about pop culture, and then I just love

514
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: to hear his stories. I bet he has a ton

515
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: of great stories, everyone from Parcels to Jarra, Jessica Simpson,

516
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood, my wife, my wife. Here's a story I

517
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: don't know if I shared it on this podcast for

518
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: uh Romo's rookie year at the Cowboys. My wife was

519
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: living in Dallas at the time. I had not met

520
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: her yet, and she lived in the same complex as Romo,

521
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: who lived with a bunch of his buddies. UH and

522
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: Romo came to Emily's condo one night looking for band

523
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: aids true story, and I've always wondered if there was

524
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: more to that story, and Emily has never told me

525
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: anything more. So I figured if I go straight to

526
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: the source, UH couldn't make things, you know, a little

527
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: bit weird on this island. I'm looking at as an

528
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: island for some reason, but I need answers and I'm

529
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: gonna get it. I can't believe. I can't believe we've

530
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: come this far in this show. Uh, both your wife

531
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: and Romo had been on our show. Romo's interview did

532
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: not point ahead to the success he'd have um on

533
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: air in general with us. But my wife, my wife

534
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: didn't make up a fictional uncle that she watches direct

535
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: TV with. I'm just saying, how how we never heard

536
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: that story there? There's definitely more going on there. I

537
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: don't I think you've been given about of the narrative.

538
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: I raised this question while we were eating lunch and

539
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: h Amica my wife, so it's Tony Romo too. She

540
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: thought that would be the right choice. She's always been

541
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: ram talking about a guy who once stopped on the

542
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: side of the road to help a stranger with his

543
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: car and didn't want the story to get out there.

544
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: You go, you know, Chris Long mean while, you know,

545
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: he's just gonna tell you about what a hero he

546
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: is the whole time, and it's just gonna be like,

547
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: after a while, it's like, Chris, we get it. You're

548
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: a better man than I. I think we're probably gonna

549
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 1: be bashing the same people together. That's probably what's gonna happen. Uh,

550
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: what about you, Ricky, do you have an answer to

551
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: that one. Tom Brady, Huh, interesting because he's not He's

552
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: not gonna eat any of my quarantine food. He's just

553
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna have his like avocado ice cream or whatever, so

554
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that. He won't like

555
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: drink any of my wine, like he's any of that.

556
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: And he's chiseled out of marble. So if someone comes

557
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: into my house for some sort of raid, like, I'm

558
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: going to stand behind like seven ft you know, fifty

559
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: two ft Brady. Yeah, that's how big he is. You

560
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: know how this invader doesn't have much foot speed? Yeah, exactly.

561
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: You know Brady to me, and I know he's conventionally attractive, um,

562
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: but he kind of falls under the Tom Cruise cruises

563
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: on my mind right now because of my Jerry McGuire

564
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: late Night Watch on Wednesday. But like Tom Cruise, conventionally

565
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: very attractive, but you never hear women talking about how

566
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: hot they think Tom Cruises. Brady to me is also

567
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: in that kind of scientology cyborg type thing where hot dude.

568
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: But does anybody really like weigh into him? Does that

569
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Does that connect any doubts with anybody? Yeah for sure,

570
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: but to exactly who we want to know, get Martha

571
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Ford and Mark are getting hot and everything. This pandemic here,

572
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: and I thought that's where you were going originally, that's

573
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: what brought it, brought it. I think Eric's point, though,

574
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: is that Tom Brady's like Tom Cruise, like quirky habits.

575
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: Would you know, ericauld announced two shows ago that she's

576
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: on the hunt for I mean meat products, meat and

577
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: he would not be taking away from that or your

578
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: largesse of red wine there. And so I think that

579
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: this makes a lot of sense. It's like keep the stockpiled.

580
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm so like just hopeful that now that he's out

581
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: from under Belichick's wing, that like all of a sudden,

582
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: he's going to develop some personality we had no idea

583
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: his intro press conference would indicate otherwise, he's still feeling

584
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: the ropes out, Like I don't know, I don't know

585
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: if he's great for conversation, but you never know, you

586
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: really don't. Maybe Eric could bring it out of him

587
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: more than like a sixty one year old totally annoying,

588
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: pudgy sportswriter in Tampa. Say, maybe Erica has more resources

589
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 1: to all out the other side of Tom Brady. Yeah, alright,

590
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: Next up from Kakar at v k Hack Dan speaking

591
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Dan, Well, you hate the Bucks now totally

592
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: the opposite. I've never hated Tom Brady, I hate the Patriots,

593
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: and I hate Bill Belichick. In fact, I didn't really

594
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: know that until this all went down, because I'm rooting

595
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: really hard for Tom Brady to thrive in Tampa and

596
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: stick it to all those JABRONI is up in New England,

597
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: so that's more. That feels like more of you're just

598
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: rooting against the Patriots. Yeah, Brady doing well would would

599
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: be good for that. But also, and I actually talked

600
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: about this at length, Greg, you should check it out

601
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: on the Pick six podcast with Will Brinson. That I

602
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: just I still, as you know, it's sticks. It's stuck

603
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: in my cry. I thought the Patriots didn't treat Brady right,

604
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: so I kind of think he It would be nice

605
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: too if he got a little revenge season in twenty

606
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: So I am rooting for Tom Brady. I do not

607
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: hate him or the Bucks. I'll bring the whole family around,

608
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: Will turn it on on the Sons and everyone will listen.

609
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: Little uh. Will is very good, by the way, It's

610
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: an excellent host, and he asks interesting questions. So make

611
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: sure you check out that pod with all his super friends.

612
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: Were the heroes they call each other? Uh, they're they're

613
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: the super friends. Did you know that? Like that? It's

614
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: a nice spinoff, nice spinoff of sen Uh this from

615
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: bro leader at Krusty Breadloaf. Will Greg release the tapes

616
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: now that the world is in crisis? Oh? Greg, that's

617
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: that's fair At a time when people are giving all

618
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: these charitable donations and trying to prop up local industry

619
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: and help out people in need. Never has there been

620
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: a better time to follow through with the Delaware Tapes

621
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: release in exchange for a charitable donation. Come on now,

622
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: but where are these tapes coming? How big? We need

623
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: you help do it? But we need well, you know

624
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: you have the tapes. Just maybe we could I don't

625
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: know the tapes. We could maybe get the band back

626
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: together on zoom or something and you know, play charity

627
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: would be that would be amazing. Are you still friends

628
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: with the guys in Delaware? I don't keep up. We

629
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: don't keep up. I mean we're definitely not like enemies,

630
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: but no, none of us are like lifelong friends. Greg

631
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: continues to lie about the tapes existing. I have been

632
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: contacted by a member of this band who has told

633
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 1: me the tapes exist. I'm not saying the tapes don't exist.

634
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: They have them. Why don't you get them? I'm not

635
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: on Facebook anymore? Well, I mean, West, I mean for

636
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: this investigation alone, and I know you have issues with Facebook.

637
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: You should have stayed on um and just just to

638
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: pursue this dropped the case. That's problematic, West, when you

639
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: look back on the overall, like Delaware request, that is

640
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: an that isn't that's sort of an under the radar

641
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: footnote that you basically were in contact with someone who

642
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: was going to send you the tapes and you bounced

643
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: off the social media platform. Maybe it's on us that

644
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: we put our faith in a man who identifies himself

645
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: in this video chat as a bar room godfly. All right,

646
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: I think I think we all know if any one

647
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: of the five of us was meant to be a

648
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: private investigator, it was Mark Sessler and would not well, well,

649
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: I I do not have the bandwidth to take it

650
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: on myself, but I'll look into it. If anyone listening

651
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: to this has the tapes, reach out and they will

652
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: get into our possession one way or another. The A

Speaker 1: us or something that we'll see probably more often than

660
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: checking that. No, you're that's you're the producer of the show.

661
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: You're checking out every day like we talked about, right,

662
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: come on, Ricky, fan of the show. I love the show.

663
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't have a song. I don't love a submission.

664
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: How tough to hear from the fans of the show that,

665
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: oh my god, you are you know what you know?

666
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: It's also funny. It's like, listen, Erica stars on the

667
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: rise in the company and she's done such a tremendous

668
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: job with getting the audio and the video working so well,

669
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: and and he heads are turning and the bosses are

670
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: reaching out to her, and you could see maybe it's

671
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: starting to lead to some changes and how she viewsed

672
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: this job. Now she doesn't have to check the Gmail anymore.

673
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: Gregg is loving at the quest for these tapes. Dissolved

674
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: into in fighting within for seconds. The investigation couldn't be

675
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: more sideways. I think that it as Mark Sessler would say,

676
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: it's a manufactured geo. Wait, Jay Cutler's trending only to

677
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: make sure he doesn't have corona. Doris Burke tested positive. No, not,

678
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: Doris's great, one of the great NBA analysts out there.

679
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, Um, get well suoned Doris, Derek Gill, and

680
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler does not have corona. Um at Derek's c

681
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: k x v X. William Belichick or Thomas Brady who

682
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: gets the most wins next season for their respective teams?

683
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: Ricky Hollywood? Mm Belichick? How many wins for Belichick? How

684
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: many wins for Brady? Um? Seven for Belichick, six for Brady.

685
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 1: That's kind of a that's a bit of a hot take, Greg,

686
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. I want to see what happens

687
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: at the quarterback here, but I will take I will

688
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: take Belichick if forced. All right, I'm gonna set the

689
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: over Undergreg for the Patriots right now at over. It's

690
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a little higher. Vegas will push it higher

691
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: than people think, So I'm gonna say nine and a half.

692
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: It will not be that high in Vegas, but I'll

693
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: just stay over anyways. I would guess it'd be eight

694
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: and a half eight and a half in Vegas. Here

695
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: comes some rain. Richard at a year with Jurgen. I

696
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: don't know someone's already been bunkering away. I say, as

697
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: a former San Diego fan, is it's socially acceptable to

698
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: bandwagon for the Colts? Hashtag bunker cast. We've hit this before,

699
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: but I think it's important to remind anyone who ever

700
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: finds themselves in this terrible situation. Yes, it's socially acceptable

701
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: to make the move wherever you want. Uh. If a

702
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: team abandons you, you you absolutely are not beholding to

703
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: stick with the team, Like if you're an Oakland fan.

704
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: If you're from Oakland, you don't have to stay a

705
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: Raiders fan. They left you, and you don't have to

706
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: feel any guilt if you want to move on. Anybody

707
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: disagree with that? I don't. I mean I I my

708
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: experience with Cleveland moving uh. I was given assurances fans

709
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: were pretty quickly that the team would be back after

710
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: a long period of time. So I spent three years

711
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: very enjoyably um be being a Brett far fan. When

712
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: those mid nineties, Packers were on fire and Sundays were

713
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: great because you weren't riding that emotional wave the same way.

714
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: And I kind of tapped into maybe a little bit

715
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: of what West experiences. But Chargers fans specifically, I just

716
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: think they were done dirty and the whole situation doesn't

717
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: feel right. So go and follow your heart. I follow

718
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: your heart. It can't come from outside. Fandom is such

719
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: an organic thing. It has to come from totally inside yourself.

720
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: And if the team abandoned you and that you have

721
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,959
Speaker 1: nowhere else to turn, you owe nothing to that team.

722
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Graham Hackney at G Hackney seventy eight Rights when all

723
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: this is over, this being the COVID nineteen outbreak, Where

724
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,280
Speaker 1: will you choose for your first day trip? Chris Westley

725
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: day trip that implies no flights. You're just going on

726
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: a little road trip. Um doesn't even have to be

727
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: a road trip, you know, anything outside the house in public.

728
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: You could be around people, you could be outside. You know.

729
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: I would like to go see Yosemite again. Beautiful, That's

730
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: what I would like to you know what, I haven't

731
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: been to Tahoe. That beautiful, cool place to go. Greg,

732
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think as big as that. I was just thinking, like,

733
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: go downtown on the old train, go to the public

734
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: library with the kids. They love that trip. Go to

735
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: Grand Central Market, which is nice. Maybe go to kay

736
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Town at night the little day I miss, uh, I

737
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: miss going out to eat. That's I mean, you miss

738
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things. But that's a major part of

739
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: your marriage, right Emca the former chef and you, uh foodie,

740
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: both of you love it. That's like your whole thing

741
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: on the weekends any frange, you know, they a good

742
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: thing to do. By the way, everybody uh with all

743
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: these local restaurants, which is a really bad situation. This

744
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: is crazy, like how because it is we're living through

745
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: what both is a health emergency and the economy is

746
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,959
Speaker 1: in major trouble. But take out helps these businesses stay alive.

747
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: So don't feel guilty. You know. Here's the other thing.

748
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: We're not spending any money really, right, I mean, because

749
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: you're not out, you're not spending frivolously because there's not

750
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: really nothing to get money. So go ahead, support the

751
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: local businesses. Everything's open, get some takeout food, and keep

752
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: these places alive because it's gonna be very difficult the

753
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: longer this goes on for local businesses unless you want

754
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: every one of your restaurants around you to be a

755
00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: Subway or McDonald's. The cooking process erratic takes the bacteria

756
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: and the delivery drivers will leave it at your door,

757
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: so that doesn't have to be any physical exchange. Just

758
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: wash your hands when you get the food. There's no

759
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: reason not to get take out. As far as I know,

760
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: and I've done quite a bit of research on this,

761
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: what about you, Mark? Mine is similar to Greg's. I

762
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: was I was thinking about this. It's like, do I

763
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: really want to get in the car and drive four

764
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: hours somewhere to uh? I? I don't. I want to

765
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: go everywhere that I've not been able to go during

766
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: this time. And it gave me a bit of appreciation

767
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: because l A is vast and there's like eighty neighborhoods,

768
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: but even where we live, there is a neighborhood and

769
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: there are five or six or seven little restaurants and

770
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: places that we go to kind of religiously, and they

771
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: are not making money right now. But even beyond all that,

772
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: I just want to have a day where I'm like,

773
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm dropping like some serious cash and I'm gonna go

774
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: all over the neighborhood and do everything I want to

775
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: do for like eight or nine hours and live the

776
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: way I want to live in Los Angeles and then,

777
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, deal with it on the other side. What

778
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: about that foggy afternoon a couple of years back and

779
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: you uh waltz into the Old Age center? Maybe you know,

780
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 1: because people are saying that deal with the repercussions later, right,

781
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: those people couldnt have been more excited to have a

782
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: younger person come in and pay attention to them and thought,

783
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: what place right now is a place no one will

784
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: go to because of the anecdotes the number one place

785
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: you should not be going to. That. So when that's cleared,

786
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 1: when that you know, bill of health is cleared, I

787
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: think it would be nice to go meet with some

788
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: people that probably fought in World War two and you know,

789
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: have some real stories. You know, if we're gonna all

790
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: be passing out accolades here all that, there's that's where

791
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: mind go. I feel like there will be. It would

792
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: be a grand gesture of symbolism as well. Mark, that

793
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: would be would I care about the previous generations when

794
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: we're being told now don't care about them? Well, nonsense,

795
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: they gave birth to the people that gave birth to us. Um,

796
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: I will cases I will call up my good buddy

797
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: Bob uh from the Throwback podcast, and we'll do what

798
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: a tradition that we've uh lost a little bit since

799
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: kids kids entered the picture. But we will get in

800
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: the car, will drive east east of Hollywood and go

801
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: to the old part three, uh, the Swingers Part three.

802
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: Before that, will stop at the local liquor store and

803
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: we'll pick up at twelve pack and we'll just take

804
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: all you need is the pitching wedge and the putter

805
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: because no hole is longer than a hundred and thirty yards,

806
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: I believe. And I'm not even a golfer, but we

807
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: bring along a little uh, a bow speaker, we got

808
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: some bruise. We got four golf clubs and six balls

809
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: because we're gonna lose a couple and we play nine

810
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: holes twice. That's what I'm gonna do. I like that plan.

811
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: That's a lot of fun. Um. I'm probably gonna just

812
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: travel um everywhere, like I love to fight. Yeah, but

813
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: I could fly to like West Tahoe for the day,

814
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: or Vegas for the day, or the Grand Canyon for

815
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: the day. Um would love to get out or go

816
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: to a club and give Corona free kisses to everybody.

817
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. What if they don't want them? Well,

818
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: you gotta ask first West. Something tells me our first

819
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: day back first there's not gonna be like a magical

820
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: day where they're like everyone make out, you know. I

821
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 1: think it's probably gonna be a pretty like you know,

822
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: slow re entry. No, I think it's like okay at

823
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: Friday five o'clock, like everyone can kiss. Like Tinder is

824
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: back on fire. Yeah, I don't. I feel like that

825
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: website might be struggling right now. And then it's basic

826
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: concept they're putting out marketing ploys like you can face

827
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: time video chat. Most couples are getting to know each

828
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 1: other over over the internet. Yeah, that's what Tinders for

829
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: getting to know each other. Yeah, this one from Yes

830
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: at Yes. Granted it hasn't come up recently, but his

831
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: Dan's been about Drew Brees managing his image and being

832
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: a bit phony, just a bit or Is Dan not

833
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: the only one who thinks that? I think there are

834
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: people that think that, But I want to throw it

835
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: in these times, uh, these um scary times. I want

836
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: to shout out Drew Brees his wife Brittany, who announced

837
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: Thursday they'll be committing five million dollars to the state

838
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: of Louisiana for relief efforts to fight against the COVID

839
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: nineteen uh pandemic. That is not a small amount of money,

840
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: even for a rich person. Five million. And yes, you're

841
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: gonna say, oh, he just signed a two year, fifty

842
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. I don't care. Five million is five million,

843
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: and uh if you um, I just think it's highly commendable.

844
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: And and if if other people could do the same,

845
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: they should, but not everybody does. And Drew Brees did so. Yes,

846
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: sometimes he feels very calculating and the nice guy act. Um,

847
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a whiff of is this genuine?

848
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: But that was a genuine act. I think I love

849
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: that he's become such a part of New Orleans. He

850
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: lives right uptown on like a street. Everyone in the

851
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: town knows exactly where he lives. He passed by, um,

852
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: you know, on the truck, on the street car. And

853
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: for whatever grief, Yeah, we've given him the city of

854
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: New Orleans rightly like with him, he'll be a legend

855
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: there Forever, He's been more important than words and five

856
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: million dollars. Absolutely, Greg, you're next. You went to Tulane

857
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: peel off, so you peel off. You know a million?

858
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: That's all peel uh Heath at Heath oh eight two.

859
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: You all do a great job and put out the

860
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: best show Comma for years at NFL Media. Put these

861
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: guys on TV. Enough is enough. I just thought that

862
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 1: was a good tweet. I just thought that was damned

863
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: solid tweet. Well hopefully uh season Kirk fatool. When the

864
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: heroes break up Oasis style, will Mark Seiler or Chris

865
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: Westling right to tell all history of the pod? I mean,

866
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: we're all writers, so I would think it would be

867
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: utterly remiss if there was a book about this experience

868
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: that all of us were not pitching into. And I

869
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: mean that's not just being diplomatic. It would be absurd

870
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: if just one or two people were tasked with writing

871
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 1: the entire This should be like a like a oral history,

872
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: if anything, everyone's point of view. It should feel like

873
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: reading podcast. I wanted from just Mark's perspective, taking a

874
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of suddenly in a lot of scores, so many scores,

875
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: I mean I still have room for that. That would

876
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: be the that That's what let's say it was like UM.

877
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: Neil Strauss writes the book, but he interviews UM, all

878
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: the four of us, and then all our producers, and

879
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: then when it's time to do the media, the only

880
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: thing that's uh, we're getting asked about is things that

881
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: Mark said and when he was interviewed. I am not

882
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: I think if anything, my I you know, despite like

883
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: me kind of blowing up on everyone before the show

884
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: for five minutes, I'd like to think I'm attempting to

885
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: grow as a person. It's not happening at the speed

886
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: that I wish UM, But compared to a couple of

887
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: years ago, I think I have less hot takes about

888
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: UM the overall experience. But neil Straus, Neil Strauss is

889
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna stir things up a little bit, and he would

890
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: be the perfect person to do this, by the way.

891
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean it would be a you know, some of

892
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: his stuff I liked, enjoyed reading, but it could be

893
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: criticized for being a little outmoded in you can get

894
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: right back into the zeitgeist with this one. If you

895
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: want to read a great UM somewhat trashy UM story

896
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 1: of UM, a band or anything. The dirt The Real

897
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: Story of Motley Crewe by Neil Strauss is an incredible book.

898
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm not even a Motley Crew fan, but that's that's

899
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: the guy want writing My tell all, the guy that

900
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: really knows how to approach it. So maybe Ricky, can

901
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: you get Neil Strauss on the horn after this? Yeah? Alright,

902
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: have him contact our Gmail um address. That's the way

903
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: to do that with him. Yeah. I just linked it

904
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: to my phone so I'll get it right away. Mark,

905
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: And I saw that question about the book, you know,

906
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: no matter who writes it, the first thing I thought was,

907
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: Dan will have to be a shadowy insider triple sourcing everything.

908
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm mean, if I want to know like the roots

909
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: of anything I got, I gotta go to Dan triple

910
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: sours baby insider um. That would be a great book.

911
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: Tom Stracken at Tom Stracken Edit asked Mark, this one

912
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: is for you, specifically, how much of an edge do

913
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: you give to teams like the Ravens and Niners who

914
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: returned so many starters and coordinators with this disrupted offseason. Well,

915
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to, you know, just play

916
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: the hits here, but uh I do I think I'd

917
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: give those teams an advantage in a totally pristine, n

918
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 1: uh interrupted offseason. But I you know that I made

919
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: my point on that topic and now and now it's

920
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: time to see when this all what what effect it has.

921
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Maybe what you get is you

922
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: get you're gonna get fourteen totally new playoff teams, and

923
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: the Bengal is gonna go fifteen and one in. The

924
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: Ravens are gonna go one in fifteen because they can

925
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: only handle normalcy or they enjoy the disruption. I don't know, Mark,

926
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm with I'm to be first time head coaches at least.

927
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 1: That's where I'm with you, is that the first time

928
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: head coaches are getting could get banged. So I feel

929
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: like Kevin Stefanski is like a decided edge over John

930
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: Harbor right now. No, I do not Weaver Wire. Weaver

931
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: Wire asks at the Weaver Wire, how do you approach

932
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: studying game film? All? Right? This is I like this question.

933
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: I will start with myself. This best season the first

934
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: time I really ever watched every game and it was

935
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: connected directly to power rankings. For me, it's more just

936
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: watching the game and just seeing every play and uh

937
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: noting things I don't watch the game the same way

938
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: somebody that's in a more advanced state does. So I

939
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: do it more just to be more plugged in on

940
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: the teams. I'm interested how the rest of you approach

941
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: watching the games. Well, maybe we should go in order

942
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: from like your I'm probably the next in line on

943
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: not someone that is checking out what like every defensive

944
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: tackle and left guard are doing what I used to do.

945
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: What I've learned to do is take notes that actually

946
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: matter for me in what I do during the week

947
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: from week one to week two to week three, and

948
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: that's I'll watch a game, I will take a ton

949
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: of notes and then try to elucidate the five or

950
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 1: six things that really that I learned about each team,

951
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: and that can go into the podcast and into writing.

952
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: And I have to like learn to not take as

953
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: many useless notes because it's so time consuming too. But

954
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 1: I've tried to watch at least parts of every single

955
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: game every year, and it can get to be a

956
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: grind at the end of the year. And I have

957
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: great admiration when I see like Gregor West with like

958
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: two or three in depth pages of notes. It's like

959
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: it is it is a chore, and you have to

960
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: learn what not to get boggled up in with. For

961
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: me in terms of the information, yeah, I think for me,

962
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: one thing that I write in my notes almost every

963
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: week during the season is that you have to be

964
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 1: in the right frame of mind and the right mood

965
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: to watch game film. You can easily fall asleep and

966
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: get stuck watching the same plays over and over again.

967
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: You have to get really in the mood to do it.

968
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: To do it well, UM, I sort of do regular

969
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: season one way where I watch UM the condensed You know,

970
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of every year, I try to watch

971
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: the full games, and I never have enough time, so

972
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 1: I end up doing condensed it anyway. UM, And what

973
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: I look for is traits. You look at, um, for

974
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: running backs, who's making people miss, who's got instant acceleration, explosiveness, agility,

975
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: pass catching ability, who's dusting linebackers off the line of scrimmage?

976
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: Wide receivers? Similarly, you know for every position there are

977
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: traits you look for quarterbacks, arm strength, anticipation, UM. And

978
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: then during the playoffs, I do watch the full game

979
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: and sometimes the all twenty two to get more specifically

980
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: to strengths and weaknesses of the team. But um, for me,

981
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: traits are always gonna be the most important thing to

982
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: look for. Yeah, I take notes too and watch condensed,

983
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: although I'm torn about it because I do wonder would

984
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: I be better off watching four games a week on

985
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: the coach's film than watching every game for our show.

986
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: I guess I've come down on the answers like no,

987
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: because we talk about every team, and it's better to

988
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: be a little more surface on a lot of things

989
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: than have a good in depth knowledge of less things.

990
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: But once we get to the playoffs, like I do

991
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: watch the All twenty two and that's what I watched

992
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: in the off season. If I'm prepping anything, and I

993
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: especially on on deef, on the defensive line or the

994
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: running game, Like, I just feel like you can see

995
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: really everything so much better, which took took a little while.

996
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: I think of just reps doing that, But that's like,

997
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: if you have the time, that feels a lot more

998
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: helpful to me where I get you feel a little

999
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: more confident in making some hotter takes after watching those.

1000
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: All right, good answers. Final question from James Stansfield at

1001
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: J E. Stansfield. Who have you got lined up to

1002
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: cover West's upcoming paternity leave. Love your work, guys, Hint,

1003
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: it should be hint, that would be ideal. Erica already

1004
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: is part of the show. So it's just you know,

1005
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: we would do it the four of us for as

1006
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: long as we need to. I haven't given it any

1007
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: thought yet, to be quite honest with you, I don't

1008
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: even know West. How long do you think you'll be out? Well,

1009
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: they have increased our paternity leave, so I have UM

1010
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: quite a bit to work with here. But you don't

1011
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,879
Speaker 1: have to use it all at once. You can use

1012
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: it in UM in segments. So that's one thing to

1013
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: think about. But the lockdown is a big factor. I mean,

1014
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: even if I'm on paternity leave, I could still take

1015
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: an hour to do shows. So, I mean, I think

1016
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: it remains to be seen how any of this will

1017
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,279
Speaker 1: play out. I think we'll see, you know, it's a

1018
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: good question. I haven't hadn't thought about that. We're just

1019
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: gonna have little Debbion every week. I'm sure we'll see

1020
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the NFL, you know,

1021
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: if it's especially during the off season May, June and July,

1022
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: that's when we have a lot of guests. Anyhow, So

1023
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: I think some of the people we should work in

1024
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: some some more new people, but some of the people

1025
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: have been so great on the show, like Colleen, it

1026
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: will obviously be uh in when she wants to be

1027
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: in Clay Bonn and and Steve Weiss and now I'm

1028
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: just gonna like forget people, but I think it might

1029
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: be also will be an opportunity to get some new

1030
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: people in there as well. So yeah, when the time

1031
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: comes and to sit down and think about it, we

1032
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: will would be great if we're back in the studio

1033
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: because it's always better when the person is in the

1034
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: studio when you get to really, you know, judge how

1035
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: you're hitting it off in terms of chemistry and all that.

1036
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: But uh, that's all up in the air. It's weird.

1037
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: It seems like a lot of things are up in

1038
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: the air right now because it's the off season. When

1039
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: the baby is do we had planned to do extensive traveling,

1040
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, like taking a month, you know, to go

1041
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: to St. Louis and Cincinnati, and you know, our industry,

1042
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: you don't get to see your especially when you live

1043
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, you just don't get to see your family.

1044
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're gonna take the baby but now who

1045
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: knows what traveling will be. We're Bay We're basically the

1046
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: employees from Tiger King West, where it's like we don't

1047
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: go home for Christmas, we don't go home for we

1048
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: don't take days off, we work on our birthday. Our

1049
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: life is this sanctuary I still have on my limbs attached.

1050
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: There is the one thing that I West, I I

1051
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: would just say, don't even get on Twitter when you're

1052
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: whenever you miss a show or two and you get

1053
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: we've all experienced it and it probably affects each of

1054
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: us in different ways, but you get the tweet it's like, hey,

1055
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: I really like Chris Wesleyan. But Greg Bdard's chemistry with

1056
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the group was just unmistakable. It's like, great,

1057
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm getting like, you know, shoved off the set because

1058
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: I had a child, Like, don't that will never happen. West.

1059
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get bumped off the off the crew,

1060
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. Well, now you have you have

1061
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: Mark's word and it's solid as oak. Yeah. If we're voting,

1062
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm voting keep West. So he has my vote. We
