Speaker 4: Yeah. Hey, three people call me Santanta Moss and I
Speaker 4: signed autographs Santana Moss.
Speaker 3: Listen, if you ask me for something, I will give.
Speaker 1: It to you every now and that I would have
Speaker 1: this happened to me back in the day. Might be
Speaker 1: a metro and some guy would go Fox five Weather. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yep, gonna be hollowod liph ongoing.
Speaker 3: Nobody lies more than the weather man.
Speaker 2: List right.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, jinks, you intelligent man scholar. Uh,
Speaker 4: what's the difference between partly cloudy and partly sunny?
Speaker 3: They are the same exact thing.
Speaker 4: That's a good question. Like, so, now the weather man
Speaker 4: only gives you these two variables. Yeah, seventy percent of
Speaker 4: the time he says these two words. And we'd be like, oh,
Speaker 4: he is right. It is partly cloudy and it's partly
Speaker 4: sunny too.
Speaker 2: And they're always the most popular people.
Speaker 4: Always, and they only had like the shortest segment in
Speaker 4: the nose.
Speaker 3: Like I think we like him.
Speaker 4: Because besides a storm coming a hurricane or something, they
Speaker 4: don't really give bad news like the rest of the
Speaker 4: news anchors kind of ushers out bad news sometimes, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they'll say things like, I mean a little
Speaker 1: bit cooler out here on the on the on the
Speaker 1: east side, or out here.
Speaker 2: You know, near the coast little bit and it makes
Speaker 2: you feel a little bit.
Speaker 4: And then we celebrate them like they actually made the weather.
Speaker 4: Like when they'd be like, oh, it's gonna be eighty five,
Speaker 4: I haven't said. We'd be like, oh, just what I'm
Speaker 4: talking about. Well, the man, he had nothing to do
Speaker 4: with it.
Speaker 2: Well, we had great weather on Monday night.
Speaker 1: We did Bengals Commanders, and I will say, we keep
Speaker 1: talking about this, but it's the truth.
Speaker 2: The vibes, I mean, the fans. I have people stopping me.
Speaker 2: I know, people stopping you no matter what, and they
Speaker 2: just wanted to talk about how things felt different.
Speaker 4: Just happened to be back, Happy to be back, And
Speaker 4: I'm so happy for Terry mclaughin. I'm so happy for
Speaker 4: John Alley that they get to see FedEx feel in
Speaker 4: my eyes and the vision I saw it when I
Speaker 4: got here, when it was still rocking, when it was
Speaker 4: ninety thousand strong, when the fan base was still injected,
Speaker 4: the energy was still there.
Speaker 3: So I feel good for.
Speaker 4: Him that they get to see the real version of
Speaker 4: Washington football, not the version they saw prior to this,
Speaker 4: because the fans wasn't hanging on like they are now,
Speaker 4: and we got people jumping back on.
Speaker 3: That's funny. We got like ninety olds jumping back on the.
Speaker 4: Ship and then carrying they fired your grandchild jumping right
Speaker 4: back on the ship. So it just feels good. The
Speaker 4: energy is there, Ren Lose. The drought is fan based,
Speaker 4: is showing people we hear it and we ain't going nowhere.
Speaker 1: And I always say this too, and not to get
Speaker 1: too like utopian about it, but we live in a
Speaker 1: crazy society, we do. Everybody's divided, but man, when you
Speaker 1: have one thing that brings everyone to yuad.
Speaker 4: I love sports. It's the ultimate unifier. It's the ultimate
Speaker 4: us against you. It's an ultimate like. That's why we
Speaker 4: say in the SEC it's SEC and everybody else right,
Speaker 4: it's us against y'all. So I think that's what sports is.
Speaker 4: Sports is color blast. Sports don't care about anything, and
Speaker 4: when something going on in your world, when the world
Speaker 4: ain't looking so good, sports can cheer you up. It
Speaker 4: has that effect on people, and I think it's been
Speaker 4: like that since the Roman times.
Speaker 3: That's why I took a trip to Rome.
Speaker 4: I went to the coliseum to pay hommage and hummage
Speaker 4: to the first ath least they gave Fred Smooth a
Speaker 4: chance to go play football.
Speaker 2: So when you were out there and you experienced this, yeah,
Speaker 2: you see this team. Check me because I read the
Speaker 2: comments and sometimes they're like, what's this guy doing? You're
Speaker 2: talking to smooth, But.
Speaker 1: Most of the comments are, Hey, I'm excited about this
Speaker 1: new era. There is something different, so check me. Am
Speaker 1: I getting too excited like everyone else?
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you? The new costumeil makes everybody excited.
Speaker 4: You're talking about new owners, new quarterback, new era, new uniforms,
Speaker 4: new everything. Like we are positioning ourselves to tell everybody
Speaker 4: here we go, here we are.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's it's more than just the newness, though.
Speaker 4: I think this fan base has just been waiting, waiting
Speaker 4: for so moment to do, to like express themselves, and
Speaker 4: I think that's what we did with the Ravens game.
Speaker 4: We kind of put people in I know it's a
Speaker 4: preseason game. I'm not jumping out things, but we kind
Speaker 4: of put people on notice. Hey, Washington, we got a
Speaker 4: football team over here. If you're not paying attention to it,
Speaker 4: we got a football team over here that knows how
Speaker 4: to play the game. We got some coaches over here
Speaker 4: that knows how to coach the game, and we got
Speaker 4: a owner that knows how to own a team and
Speaker 4: know how to shake hands.
Speaker 3: You don't love about that is that he's having a
Speaker 3: good time.
Speaker 4: No, No, he likes to celebrate. And I think it
Speaker 4: was Joe Buck's fault because Joe.
Speaker 3: You're doing this.
Speaker 4: He presented that hand canvas, he presented it.
Speaker 3: Then he presented it for like minutes, and I'm watching it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't do it.
Speaker 4: Don't do it, and I'm seeing him just reach over
Speaker 4: there and he didn't really grab it. He just kind
Speaker 4: of put his hand in his hand, and all you
Speaker 4: see in the background is Troy.
Speaker 3: Troy about lose it. Troy can't even hold and the
Speaker 3: red eyes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I see two red eyes and a smile
Speaker 4: back then, and it's Troy agument.
Speaker 3: Don't know what to do in this situation. I thought
Speaker 3: it was human.
Speaker 4: I thought it was regular, and I thought it showed
Speaker 4: him as I'm just like, y'all.
Speaker 2: Right, because I look, man, I am not the smoothest cat.
Speaker 2: I do this all the time. I go in. I'm like,
Speaker 2: should I adapt this guy up? Ye? Love? And you
Speaker 2: know how this can get off?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You know? So I feel like that was just that's
Speaker 2: just part of how it is. And I was like,
Speaker 2: I can relate to this guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely. I've been left hanging with high fives
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand high.
Speaker 4: I make a play on the field, throw that high
Speaker 4: five out my teammate take off jogging.
Speaker 3: It's just one of them things where you shoot the
Speaker 3: jump and you keep on going.
Speaker 1: Well, I could give you some credit when we talk
Speaker 1: about what we saw money now, because I know you
Speaker 1: talk about Emmanuel Forbes, you know all the time, but
Speaker 1: he balled out a great open field tackle and you
Speaker 1: really did call this early on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, most definitely.
Speaker 4: Hey, listen, they say he got some fresh mood in him,
Speaker 4: and I think it has a lot to do with
Speaker 4: not only did we he he took the same track
Speaker 4: to get to where I am from high school, literally
Speaker 4: went to the Mississippi State, broke all my records, broke all
Speaker 4: my records.
Speaker 3: Then he gets drafted by the team that drafted me.
Speaker 4: And yes, he reminds the fans of me because when
Speaker 4: I got here, I was one hundred and seventy four
Speaker 4: pounds and I tell people, Damn Green was one hundred
Speaker 4: and seventy five pounds when he got here, So we
Speaker 4: have a track record of drafted skin and corners that
Speaker 4: end up being pretty damn good. Right, So I just
Speaker 4: think he's feeling his way out and I think the
Speaker 4: game is just slowing down for him every day. Like,
Speaker 4: first of all, what you want to see from a
Speaker 4: yorkstea is do he belong? He looks like he belongs
Speaker 4: with the rest of the guys. He belongs. Now, how
Speaker 4: good can he be? Like Jordan's saying, the roof.
Speaker 3: Is the ceiling. This kid like the root. It's the
Speaker 3: ceiling with this kid.
Speaker 4: So the more and more he gets into the game,
Speaker 4: the more and more guys he checks and he like, well,
Speaker 4: I could check him off the list like he did
Speaker 4: last week Obi j Yeah, I can check him, check
Speaker 4: him off the league.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 3: So once he puts people on what I call the
Speaker 3: Forbes list, uh list, that's goods man.
Speaker 4: As he put people on the four lips, they will
Speaker 4: understand how good this kid is.
Speaker 1: Frenchman Michael Jenkins of Thissney Get Loud podcast presented by
Speaker 1: Seat Geeks. So when you say, Okay got a little
Speaker 1: smooth in him talking about a mainium Forbes, who is
Speaker 1: someone that you get compared to I mean, you're already
Speaker 1: famous as this is different someone like me, but everyone
Speaker 1: you know, how this someone to say you remind me
Speaker 1: of so and so?
Speaker 2: Is that happened to you?
Speaker 3: There was always it was my idol. Do you understanding?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because I was such a talking and then
Speaker 4: when people hear that you're a talker, they automatically think
Speaker 4: you're the meaning somebody are talking down at him.
Speaker 3: I was more of an entertainer. I like to, you know,
Speaker 3: make people laugh, but I can't talk to you enough
Speaker 3: to make you cry.
Speaker 4: So I had that ability, and as I studied the
Speaker 4: I start to really noticed he wasn't really attacking people
Speaker 4: for this verbally. He was more or less just just
Speaker 4: playing Jedi mind tricks and getting in their head and
Speaker 4: driving the car however he wanted to. So that's what
Speaker 4: I took to me and I understood that, you know what,
Speaker 4: being a trash talker you actually bring teams together like
Speaker 4: I am. And always was like, they just say, the
Speaker 4: team want something from the head coach, They're gonna call me,
Speaker 4: brace Moody here, send him to the coach because they
Speaker 4: know I can talk to the coach. So it comes
Speaker 4: with different things. So Deon was always my blueprint. I
Speaker 4: feel like Den changed football, especially for defensive players.
Speaker 3: I think Deon.
Speaker 4: Now that I think about it, I don't think no
Speaker 4: athlete ever self promoted himself besides Muhammad Ali on the level.
Speaker 2: Of a d N people forget back in the day
Speaker 2: when he was playing baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean mc hammer was on the sideline's.
Speaker 4: I said, you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself rying time
Speaker 4: on the leopard print on. But at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, Dion used to play a Falcons game, lead
Speaker 4: a Falcons game, Go play a Braves game. No, he
Speaker 4: told me about one trip he played a Falcons game,
Speaker 4: he left the game, went played for the Braves.
Speaker 3: The next day he flew out to New York to
Speaker 3: do the night show where he performed must be the Money.
Speaker 4: So he went from football player, baseball player to entertainer
Speaker 4: in twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: Like that's what football players are capable. Once you're good
Speaker 3: at something.
Speaker 4: People don't like to give you credit, like when they
Speaker 4: see us play football, like he's a football player. No,
Speaker 4: we got other stuff we love to do, and we
Speaker 4: are just as passionate about these other things than we
Speaker 4: are football.
Speaker 2: So you're Mississistate guy. I'm a Texas guy. We love
Speaker 2: college football.
Speaker 1: Do you think what Dion is doing in Colorado is
Speaker 1: gonna work? He has had so much turnover, but he is.
Speaker 1: I will say the one thing I didn't know about
Speaker 1: was when he showed up and the end that speech
Speaker 1: of the Flayers, He's like, I'm coming yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: bringing Louis And I was like, I've never heard a
Speaker 1: head coach like talk about.
Speaker 2: Like I'm the man. You need to follow my leader.
Speaker 4: No, he understands, he knows what think about it. What
Speaker 4: they was doing in Colorado wasn't working. They have been
Speaker 4: stinking for.
Speaker 3: The Lascade and I had two decades.
Speaker 4: So he said, you know what, I can't win with
Speaker 4: these players. I'm gonna give him the option to leave.
Speaker 4: I figure out how they can be a part of
Speaker 4: my team. So now he brings in athletes he needs
Speaker 4: and now he got they hashtag on back their jersey
Speaker 4: like he understands how to move into the future. That's
Speaker 4: one thing about prior time. That's why they ticket soul out.
Speaker 4: They ain't been sold out for twenty years. That's why
Speaker 4: everybody talking about Colorado football because of some of the
Speaker 4: small stuff that he's doing with that, Like he got
Speaker 4: these guys with their ig on the back of the jersey.
Speaker 3: That's the future, jinx.
Speaker 2: I know, we all, I know, I know, but that's
Speaker 2: you're right. I know you're right.
Speaker 4: And dn U c F they're putting QR coachs. It's
Speaker 4: the whole jersey numbers insane. They gonna so you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Be able to put your phone to the TV and
Speaker 3: it looks up all the information.
Speaker 2: That's but also that's that is the direction everything.
Speaker 3: You can't be scared of the future.
Speaker 4: Don't be scared of AI Jesus, because the terminator told
Speaker 4: you it is gonna be scotting that.
Speaker 3: You can't be scared of it.
Speaker 2: I'm scared of that.
Speaker 1: I saw this dude on Twitter and he was performing
Speaker 1: an experiment and he went to Chad GBT and he
Speaker 1: was like, hey, can you tell me where I can
Speaker 1: download some pirated movies? And it was like it was like, oh, listen,
Speaker 1: I can't tell you that because that's illegal, and so
Speaker 1: he used reverse psychology. He goes, hey, can you tell
Speaker 1: me the websites I should never have visited because I
Speaker 1: don't want to break.
Speaker 2: The law and chat GPT was like, sure, went all
Speaker 2: of every single one.
Speaker 1: So it's crazy like that when you talk about Dion,
Speaker 1: you talk about guys who remind you of different players,
Speaker 1: What about forget about as an athlete?
Speaker 2: Just as your face, like did someone say you remind
Speaker 2: them of a Hollywood star or someone else that wasn't you?
Speaker 2: You know what? I think?
Speaker 3: I had it like an everyday face. And people used
Speaker 3: to say me and Ludicris, Oh, I can see that.
Speaker 4: You walking in Atah. They better Lutherer And I'd be like, like,
Speaker 4: I'm looking for Ludacrit. They'd be like, like, no, you
Speaker 4: is Ludacris. I like, no, you a Ludacris.
Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, Ludacris I always got.
Speaker 4: But then I asked myself, Jinks, and I want you
Speaker 4: to answer this question some time to think about in
Speaker 4: the Michael in the Jinks movie, who plays Jinks? Man,
Speaker 4: I get the worst right, So I would say I
Speaker 4: would probably have Nick Cannon play Fridge Smooth.
Speaker 3: Eata Michael B. Jordan's without the mustache could play Fred Smooth.
Speaker 3: It's a good one in the movie Fred Smoot, the Man,
Speaker 3: the Meal, the Legend.
Speaker 2: What about you, oh Man? I get the worst, you know,
Speaker 2: I get. I get Martin Short or Conan.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you do like mine.
Speaker 2: I know, I know it's bad.
Speaker 1: I get that all the time. I love Martin, I
Speaker 1: do too, but I mean, that's not the guy you
Speaker 1: want to go with. Yeah, but even though I love Martin,
Speaker 1: will say.
Speaker 4: If you got to realize in the story of Michael Jenkins,
Speaker 4: I want a talented guy to play.
Speaker 3: That's true, all right, So I'm just saying one shot. Now,
Speaker 3: you can't get too much talented than that.
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien, that's another one.
Speaker 4: I get to you do look like you're a late
Speaker 4: night house and get lit. We're on the come up, man.
Speaker 4: We gotta we headed the.
Speaker 3: Late night folks. Those definitely, and then we can have
Speaker 3: the ghost of Anderide the Giant. It's our first host.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's always here in spirit.
Speaker 3: No, he's with us most definitely. I'm with it. Like
Speaker 3: I had always asked myself if I was a wrestler,
Speaker 3: how would I dress?
Speaker 2: Because I can wear would you be flamboyant?
Speaker 3: I could not wear onesie.
Speaker 2: I can't no, no, no, that's how you start.
Speaker 3: I can't wear that.
Speaker 4: One like I can't look in the mirror be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: the ones he never looks good. I would have been
Speaker 4: more dressed up like the Ultimate Warrior with the screens you're.
Speaker 2: Saying because it made muscles pop, face paint.
Speaker 4: You know, I would have had a little bit and
Speaker 4: you know, I'd have been edgy on that, you know,
Speaker 4: me and Jean, I'd have been out there bad.
Speaker 2: We have some breaking news that you Commanders fans are

Speaker 2: and he was supposed to be excited. He was like,
Speaker 2: we did the job, the job is done, It's time
Speaker 2: to go on come back.
Speaker 3: And it was like, that's very dangerous. Athlete is not
Speaker 3: emotional like that. That mean he could do it.
Speaker 4: That means and over and listen his game. I have
Speaker 4: never seen somebody never jump off the game. I mean
Speaker 4: ground dominate.
Speaker 2: As much as he's incredible, he's.
Speaker 3: In his game is I don't even have nobody compare to.
Speaker 2: I've never seen anybody like it.
Speaker 1: No, I have it.
Speaker 2: So he and Aaron Gordon, this teammate, were in Serbia
Speaker 2: and they took like bikes to a Serbian horse race,
Speaker 2: which is crazy, which I love because when the cool
Speaker 2: goes so you forget.
Speaker 1: Also, remember when he and Jimmy Butler had beef and
Speaker 1: they asked him if he was scared of Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2: He was like, I'm serving, I'm not scared. I'm Serbia.
Speaker 3: I got twenty thousand Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 2: So they go back to Serbia and You're like, they're
Speaker 2: taking bikes to a horse race. So what is a
Speaker 2: hobby that you have? Or maybe you gotta tell the story.
Speaker 1: About or a teammate or a teammate that had a hobby,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, You're like, I would
Speaker 1: have never thought you would be interested in this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, probably my teammate. They're in the Cats, a
Speaker 4: wide receiver. We came out together class o one yep.
Speaker 4: And I'll never forget when we was talking. When I
Speaker 4: first met. He was like, I'm an artist, and I'm like, nah,
Speaker 4: you're a football player. He's like, no, I'm an artist,
Speaker 4: a real artist. So I like, what kind of art
Speaker 4: do you do? He was like, I draw do paintings,
Speaker 4: also sing.
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh for real.
Speaker 4: So nobody would like show him any love. It's like
Speaker 4: all early painters, nobody believing to you until you do it.
Speaker 4: So I was like, all right, man, how about I
Speaker 4: commission you.
Speaker 3: To draw me a pain.
Speaker 4: Now. I didn't ask him to draw my face jinx.
Speaker 4: I asked him to draw my initials F and I said,
Speaker 4: on the canvas, okay, right. Took him like three months
Speaker 4: to do it, like you said, he had to find
Speaker 4: his his cheek and his softest inspiration.
Speaker 3: So he does it.
Speaker 4: He draws it for me, and the pain about this big.
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna put that in my house
Speaker 4: and he said, yeah, give me a thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what, First of all, he charged you a grand.
Speaker 3: He charged me a grand for no, no, for f
Speaker 3: and as like for letters, like for letters that's criminal.
Speaker 4: And not only did he charge me a grand for it,
Speaker 4: and it was like the most elementary pain right of
Speaker 4: all time. He was getting mad because I want to
Speaker 4: argue about the grid and I'm like, dude, I'm here
Speaker 4: to show you love and you know, to tell you
Speaker 4: the truth. Your pain won't be nothing until you die,
Speaker 4: like that that's the secret of being the pain, right, like,
Speaker 4: until you're gone.
Speaker 3: This pain means nothing. He charged me for it. Then
Speaker 3: he dropped and I told him this.
Speaker 4: He dropped the album by two months later, So I said,
Speaker 4: you took my thousand dollars and went to the studio
Speaker 4: and you dropped your album loved on't cost a thing,
Speaker 4: and now.
Speaker 3: And now you want me to buy the CD from you.
Speaker 4: So yes, he actually was a very good He could sing,
Speaker 4: he could actually paint, and he still does these things.
Speaker 3: He was dating Biblica Fox at the time, so doing
Speaker 3: something right.
Speaker 4: Yes, So he was a very time dude and I
Speaker 4: would tell people all the time, three fourths of the
Speaker 4: locker room all have these things they love to do
Speaker 4: outside of sports that has nothing to do with sports.
Speaker 4: Big Derrick Dockum always loved politics, used to talking in
Speaker 4: the in the in the locker room.
Speaker 3: Now he works on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 4: They don't shock me, right, So in other day, these
Speaker 4: guys and they all and they were pretty much only
Speaker 4: share what they like to do out.
Speaker 3: The field with other football player. That's the crazy thing
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: I will say that that's one thing that I learned
Speaker 2: over time, just being the media for so long, is
Speaker 2: that after if you ask an athlete something they have
Speaker 2: him and asked before, like a different question, they're more
Speaker 2: likely to pay attention to you. Years ago, I got
Speaker 2: sent to Fox for to cover the Patriots. This is
Speaker 2: when Randy Moss was playing.
Speaker 1: And people forget now because Randy's very likable and everything,
Speaker 1: but he was so he was surrely back in the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I went up there and I was doing this
Speaker 2: schoofy story.
Speaker 1: I was like, all these guys are growing beards, but
Speaker 1: they play in Gillette Stadium. Yeah, so you guys are
Speaker 1: own beards, but you play and stadium you know that
Speaker 1: is sponsored by shaving company. So I walked up to
Speaker 1: Randy Moss and he was by and nobody would touch
Speaker 1: this cat, and people the local media is like talk
Speaker 1: to you.
Speaker 2: They're like beware, And so I just walked up and
Speaker 2: I go. He was just sitting there mind his own business.
Speaker 2: I go, Randy, can I ask you about your beer?
Speaker 2: He goes, what, I go, don't you think it's fun
Speaker 2: that you're all growing beards and you're playing a stadium
Speaker 2: sponsored by a shavy company? And he goes say that again,
Speaker 2: and he goes, he goes, stay right there. So he
Speaker 2: walked out, like to the trainers room. I was like,
Speaker 2: he's not coming back.
Speaker 1: Sure enough, thirty seconds later comes back, sits down right
Speaker 1: next to me and gave me the best And all
Speaker 1: we did, yes was talk about beards, shaving, just superstiti
Speaker 1: And then later it was crazy the rest of the
Speaker 1: media creeped in. There was something going on with him
Speaker 1: at the time, and then he got pissed off whatever.
Speaker 1: But he was willing to have a conversation because it
Speaker 1: was just a natural conversation about something different.
Speaker 4: See, everybody like to talk about sports, but they don't
Speaker 4: They forget their sports is our job. Yeah, like, so
Speaker 4: we'll rather not talk about sports, We'll rather talk about
Speaker 4: everything else.
Speaker 3: How was your weekend? What would you do? Did you
Speaker 3: go fishing?
Speaker 4: Like Randy a big fisherman, love fishing in West Virginia,
Speaker 4: So like a lot of us are very outdoorsy, Like
Speaker 4: I think this is what people forget. A lot of
Speaker 4: these guys like the race because NASCAR is big down South.
Speaker 4: So all kinds of stuff that guys like to do
Speaker 4: off the field. And sometimes all you got to do
Speaker 4: is stop and ask them and they will talk to
Speaker 4: you and tell you.
Speaker 2: So if we're talking about hobbies, things that maybe you
Speaker 2: would expect. One thing I love to do and I
Speaker 2: don't know you love to do. You were telling me
Speaker 2: this today was karaoke.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm a karaoke king. Are you out listen?
Speaker 4: I have karaoke in seven different countries. I have karaoke
Speaker 4: in o Soka, Japan. I have karaoke in the souph
Speaker 4: of France.
Speaker 3: Really roam all listen. When I take a trip.
Speaker 4: The second thing I do is google wear are the
Speaker 4: karaoke bars and we go have a time, and I
Speaker 4: enjoyed myself. The last karaoke I sung Yellow Brick Roll
Speaker 4: by Elton your Son. You love that song, Ah, listens
Speaker 4: if it's a piano in there.
Speaker 2: I mean, that is a great song.
Speaker 3: I would go play it. And it's so short.
Speaker 4: See, it's a short song that people don't forget because
Speaker 4: once you sing it, it's stuck in their head.
Speaker 2: Free. You can't go ten minutes and.
Speaker 4: You can't go ten minute, go to a minute. So
Speaker 4: Yellow Brick Road is one of my go to in karaoke.
Speaker 3: What about you? What's yours?
Speaker 1: I got three main Number one is Poison by BBD,
Speaker 1: I do uh drain and snoop number the g thing.
Speaker 3: All right, rap is the easy way she sees it.
Speaker 1: But but if I want to slow it down, have
Speaker 1: enough drinks in me? Yeah, do careless Whisper by George Michael.
Speaker 1: But that's a hard one.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: That's all great, that's listen.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know George Michael was part of Wham
Speaker 4: for a long time. Oh yeah, I didn't, because that's
Speaker 4: a classic. Because I always looked at him as a
Speaker 4: solo artist because he's just so talented. So at the
Speaker 4: end of the day, I was like, but careless whispers.
Speaker 4: You got to be in the mood for kids whispers.
Speaker 4: I can sing it and make people go get married.
Speaker 4: I'm one of those guys. I make you go get married.
Speaker 4: After send kareless wish.
Speaker 2: I sent karaoke two weeks ago. Man, we had seen karaoke.
Speaker 3: You know, we gotta we gotta do it together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll do it to get loud Carryok, we'll do that.
Speaker 2: We'll get a sponsorship. We're going.
Speaker 3: Karaoke.
Speaker 1: So we got football season coming up. Obviously, we got
Speaker 1: one more preseason game then we get into the fall.
Speaker 1: So just in general, what do you think is this
Speaker 1: is a very generic question.
Speaker 2: What's the most exciting aspect of this team?
Speaker 4: I think it's everything, the franchise, the whole thing that
Speaker 4: the coach is like it, the coaches, coach being me,
Speaker 4: got everything red hot round here, the players. It's just
Speaker 4: a right to be honest, jenks. It's a great time
Speaker 4: to be a Washington fan.
Speaker 3: It is right.
Speaker 4: And I ain't talking about just the football team. The
Speaker 4: Nets have rebuilt the team that look like they going
Speaker 4: to the playoffs. All youngsters, all right, we still got
Speaker 4: super talent in the double and a raw, but they
Speaker 4: are talented, super talented. We got a new brain trust
Speaker 4: in young talent with the Wizards. Right now, they got
Speaker 4: a whole new outlook on everything. Then you look at
Speaker 4: the football side of the things, whole new app look.
Speaker 4: So now the District of Champions DC is headed back
Speaker 4: in that direction.
Speaker 3: So I would say everything the fan base is lipped.
Speaker 4: I just think it's a good time to be a
Speaker 4: Washington fan period all sports man.
Speaker 2: I feel the same with what is it about the
Speaker 2: fall like? To me, there's nothing like fall weather football
Speaker 2: is on. Yeah, you got a pumpkin spice lot? Do
Speaker 2: you like those? I don't know.
Speaker 3: Listen to me.
Speaker 2: I want to hear this.
Speaker 4: Listen to me, America. I have to tell you this,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna look in the camera. Guys when I
Speaker 4: say this. Nobody likes pumpkin.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to say it. I know it's festive.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of girls on TikTok that would disagree.
Speaker 3: First of all, I mom and daddy always taught us
Speaker 3: first do not play with your food. But we let
Speaker 3: our kids carve fac into a pumpkin.
Speaker 4: People go to the groc store, get a pumpkin and
Speaker 4: set it on their porch, yeah, people go get a pumpkin.
Speaker 3: Let it rot.
Speaker 4: My mama never said, son, I'm about to go to
Speaker 4: the store, do you want me to bring you some
Speaker 4: pumpkin back? Nobody says this, I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 4: store and get some pumpkin. Nobody does it for two
Speaker 4: months November. In December, we idolized pumpkin so tied of
Speaker 4: pumpkin spice coffee lattes.
Speaker 3: Oh, they got pumpkin pizza. Like we just go on,
Speaker 3: We just go on the whole friends and just pumpkin, pumpkin,
Speaker 3: pumpkin when we don't.
Speaker 4: Like it, like nobody wants to say it. Americans don't
Speaker 4: like pumpkin like it's the most useless.
Speaker 3: I told you this. Even at a zoo, one animal
Speaker 3: eats pumpkin, a hippopotamus. It that's it.
Speaker 2: So what is that true?
Speaker 3: That's true? They eat them whole?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Did you tell me
Speaker 1: earlier today that I believed you told me something. I
Speaker 1: probably told you that hippopotamus eat pot You told me.
Speaker 2: Something was like you're a lot, No, I think it was.
Speaker 4: Listen, if it ever was a useless vegetable, It's like
Speaker 4: I've never heard somebody like, yeah, I was trapped in
Speaker 4: the woods and I had to live three years eating pumpkin.
Speaker 3: Only nobody like it. Just not that thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like, like, I like it for just
Speaker 2: a finite period of time. Like I'll drink a pumpkin spice.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's gotta be hot, because as soon
Speaker 1: as that gets warm, it gets kind of gross and
Speaker 1: like tastes like pumpkin.
Speaker 2: I need it really hot, and then I don't need
Speaker 2: it for like a month or so. My problem is,
Speaker 2: I don't want to see Christmas decorations in September. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear about a pumpkin spice latte in July.
Speaker 4: That what I'm saying, seasonal things you can't you can't
Speaker 4: and then they're not seasonal anymore. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Like most things are dressing, stuffing, whatever you want to call. Okay,
Speaker 4: it's usually holiday seasonal.
Speaker 3: I cook it in the middle of the year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I enjoy it like that, But with nobody like eggplants, pumpkin,
Speaker 4: like these things.
Speaker 3: I think we should not tear the dirt up to
Speaker 3: grow these things.
Speaker 4: America, Let's look at each other in the face and
Speaker 4: say no more pumpkin, like, no more pump anywhere.
Speaker 3: All right, we don't need it.
Speaker 2: You hate it that much.
Speaker 3: It's a human race. We don't need pumpkin like, think
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 2: Even pumpkin pie like Thanksgiving sweet potato pie. Option.
Speaker 3: I think about it.
Speaker 4: If pumpkins came up missing off of Earth, we wouldn't
Speaker 4: miss a step like it ain't like we turn it
Speaker 4: into fossil for you or something. All I'm saying is
Speaker 4: pumpkin ain't.
Speaker 3: Needed like we think it is.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I went home.
Speaker 2: I was on vacation last week down in Texas, and
Speaker 2: my mom was making it like a spread.
Speaker 1: But I could not believe because like the eggs are
Speaker 1: these eggs are delicious. But I was like, She's like, well,
Speaker 1: I put sweet cream in them, yes, and a stick
Speaker 1: of button. I'm like, no, wonder And then she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got this new ornan dessert and I put a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of criscal and I forgot the old school.
Speaker 2: Yes, she learned it from my grandmother, and they just
Speaker 2: load it up.
Speaker 4: They cooked what they say, they cooked with love. Yes,
Speaker 4: with love come diabetes. We understand it beat. So at
Speaker 4: the end of the day, I'm from Mississippi. Right, you
Speaker 4: know my grandmama, Lord, No, she cooks stuff. But that's
Speaker 4: why all our grandma all we thank Lord, we have
Speaker 4: a big mama. And they come from eating all of
Speaker 4: that food, that Southern way of doing stuff, southerness. We'll
Speaker 4: feed you to get to know you, like we invite
Speaker 4: a stranger into the house to sit you down, to
Speaker 4: get to know you over food. So that's just a
Speaker 4: way of life. And they like to take their time.
Speaker 4: See we in a Michael Wade society. Now that's everybody
Speaker 4: want it ready right now. But no, Now with grandmama,
Speaker 4: she gonna take time and cook that food. And that's
Speaker 4: why it tastes good because it got loved. Is exactly
Speaker 4: expression of love. That's what affection. So if you want
Speaker 4: to show me love, not invite me to the Jenkins
Speaker 4: household and serve me.
Speaker 3: Come anything that ain't.
Speaker 2: Loved, I don't remember. I'm gonna remember that all right.
Speaker 2: When we're talking about the fall, yeah, it is almost tip,
Speaker 2: but we got a preseason game first, so I can't
Speaker 2: jump ahead. But what we saw on Monday night was
Speaker 2: a Commander's team that electric, I mean really was electric.
Speaker 2: And it's crazy too because we were there at the
Speaker 2: very end. I mean, Tanner was yelling and you know
Speaker 2: he played the game. This is a preseason game, but
Speaker 2: he never even played the preseason.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's how into we was into it. Of course,
Speaker 4: they twenty four game winning streak had something.
Speaker 2: By the way, that is such a stupid streak.
Speaker 3: No, not really, you don't think so. I'm all about
Speaker 3: the equation. At the equation.
Speaker 4: They always have a great backup, meaning Joe Flacco had
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson as a backup. Lamar Jackson had RG three
Speaker 4: as a backup right now, he got him Huntly as
Speaker 4: a backup. Very good backup quarterbacks. They always have depth
Speaker 4: meaning they second to third teams are always very good athletes.
Speaker 4: Mixed that with a kicker, the best kicker in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Kickers don't take preseason off Tucker's mania.
Speaker 3: Thank you with Tucker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can win the twenty fourth great preseason game
Speaker 4: because that's the formula to get their job done.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was big. And all the Baltimore people
Speaker 3: want to say we don't care about that. They do
Speaker 3: because they was upset.
Speaker 4: Listen, I had to tell them turn their frown upside
Speaker 4: down because you know, I know you're hurt, but at
Speaker 4: the end of the day.
Speaker 3: They are quality franchise, So you know, question, I don't
Speaker 3: see it no other way.
Speaker 1: That's the one thing you can always say about the Ravens,
Speaker 1: no matter how you feel about them, it's his top
Speaker 1: to bottom. They're always organized. They play tough, physical football,
Speaker 1: so you can never take for granted to win over
Speaker 1: the well.
Speaker 3: Think about it.
Speaker 4: Is they at an organization that help merrit people after divorce,
Speaker 4: because don't forget they on an up and rain in
Speaker 4: the middle of the night. That's so they have got
Speaker 4: let down and divorce, but they started their life over,
Speaker 4: got married again, and you see what it is. Championships,
Speaker 4: long longevity. Sometimes pushing the button and start over ain't so.
Speaker 2: Bad now that's true. So what do you want to
Speaker 2: see on Saturday?
Speaker 1: We've got Bengals Commanders final game of the preseason. What
Speaker 1: are some of the things that you just want to
Speaker 1: see as we finally get closer to the Cardinals than
Speaker 1: we've wont.
Speaker 4: I want to see them one leave healthy. Two I
Speaker 4: want to see, let's be honest, jinks.
Speaker 3: It's like five spots up for grabs out of the
Speaker 3: fifty th I want to see who wants those spots.
Speaker 4: I want to see who want to live the dream,
Speaker 4: who want they dream to continue, who believed that they
Speaker 4: it's not over for them, because at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, I hate to say it, one player of
Speaker 4: two three plays making in that game, f I'm making
Speaker 4: this team like so it's one of them things where
Speaker 4: it don't look like as much for other people, but
Speaker 4: for some guys like this.
Speaker 3: It'll be the last time they be on the profile.
Speaker 3: Some of these guys won't ever get a chance to
Speaker 3: scrap on the head.
Speaker 4: And again it's crazy like so that's the fire night
Speaker 4: moment of this dream.
Speaker 2: It does end.
Speaker 3: You have to wake up to a different reality.
Speaker 4: So I just want to see the guys be healthy
Speaker 4: and I want to see them getting ready and be
Speaker 4: ready for Week one, like I felt the electricity in
Speaker 4: there other night against the Raven. But boy, I can't
Speaker 4: wait the week one real game. Fed Ex should be
Speaker 4: rocking like I have been there in that place, especially
Speaker 4: as a rookie in the ground with shaped like I
Speaker 4: would make a play and everybody smooth and I would
Speaker 4: feel the ground shaking under my feet, and it just
Speaker 4: made me addicted to making plays like I wanted to
Speaker 4: feel it. It was a euphoria. You can't get that
Speaker 4: nowhere else. You can't get that playing a video game.
Speaker 4: You can't get that nowhere. Ninety thousands all in unitson
Speaker 4: saying your name so loud that the ground is shaking.
Speaker 3: This that makes you addicted to making plays.
Speaker 2: So how much do you miss it? Like you can't
Speaker 2: because you can't compensate for it.
Speaker 3: Where you know, I do be at the gym, I'll
Speaker 3: be crossing people.
Speaker 4: Oh they've smool so in then I'm in the grocer
Speaker 4: store walking in the bread and ask somebody.
Speaker 3: Somebody trafficking a line? So I still get some type.
Speaker 4: But no, that can't be replaced. I'm sorry, Like it
Speaker 4: just it can't be replaced right now, and marriage can't
Speaker 4: replace it. That's one of the things that sports give
Speaker 4: you that can be replicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the great things about sports. And
Speaker 1: you know, I wish people not rooting for you when
Speaker 1: you're yelling smooth and somebody goes tanner doing.
Speaker 4: It happened, But it worked on the on the road
Speaker 4: for me because smoot and boo sound like the same thing,
Speaker 4: So people would be booing me on the road and
Speaker 4: I'll be out there dancing like Sam Cosmic, because I'd
Speaker 4: be like, yeah, they're saying my name having fun with it,
Speaker 4: So I weaponized my name.
Speaker 3: What did you give? What do you rate that gritty?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, he doing the gritty, he listened.
Speaker 4: I thought it was so sarcastic the way he was
Speaker 4: doing it. Yeah, he wasn't really trying to do it.
Speaker 4: He was kind of rubbed it in their face.
Speaker 2: Because he was the one who said that this winning
Speaker 2: streak is so supid. He said week yeah, he.
Speaker 3: Said it's so stupid. But we're gonna beat it. We're
Speaker 3: gonna break it, right, and then we go out here
Speaker 3: and break it while he doing the gritty on the field.
Speaker 3: By the way, Cosmic, you can gritty at all you
Speaker 3: want to love it when you in the end zone
Speaker 3: like that. So at the end of the day, I
Speaker 3: give his gritty a nine.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. If you're if you're a receiver, you're
Speaker 2: a corner, you try that, you better knell up. But
Speaker 2: if you're an on lineman, you don't have to do anything.
Speaker 3: You put no. The fact that you tried, that's all
Speaker 3: that matters.
Speaker 4: And right now he's the apple of the eye all
Speaker 4: the offensive blindman out there because Office of Line and
Speaker 4: don't get that moment to shy much.
Speaker 3: And for him to sit there and gritted like that,
Speaker 3: and then he just gritted and walked off the field.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, you get me excited for football. That's
Speaker 1: Fred Spot. I'm Michael Jenkins.
