Speaker 2: Welcome in What Driving the Great? Episode two fifty four

10
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: A ton to Do Today? All Sports on Today's show,

11
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: No Networkers Sports media Commentary. However, I did do Colin

12
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: Coward's podcast last night, and he is often does baited

13
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: me after a couple because Colin, Colin and I do

14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: these podcasts at night and we're both having a cocktail,

15
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: and then he usually about an hour into the podcast,

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: when I think it's about over and I'm, you know,

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: finishing my large glass of wine that I started with,

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: he starts jumping me with political topics. And yesterday I

19
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: just kind of was in the mood. So if you

20
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: want to hear my thoughts on the last month in

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: the American presidential race, vice presidential candidates and such, that

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: Cowards podcast probably comes out later today. But rather than

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: promote podcasts other than my own, might as well if

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: I'm doing that, tell you like, rate, subscribe, review. Our

25
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: YouTube numbers have kind of stalled a bit, probably because

26
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: we haven't been telling you guys to subscribe to the

27
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: YouTube channel, but also because it's not football season. Demons

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: has just got the one sad plaque leaning up against

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: the wall in his apartment because he hasn't yet hung

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: it up. So try to get some more before we

31
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: get to the show. Let's get to what Miss Serbia

32
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: USA is not gonna make the show because it hasn't

33
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: happened yet. France, Germany is happening about an hour from

34
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: now when we're taping and live on YouTube Serbia USA.

35
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: This is the third Team USA basketball game demanse that

36
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: tips off right when first things first starts, and I

37
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: don't get the daily ratings, and I don't really look

38
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: at the daily ratings unless it's football season. But I've

39
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: got to imagine it hasn't been good for the show

40
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: that I bet I could look at just a ratings

41
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: graph and just without dates and be like, oh, team

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 2: USA was playing, Team USA was playing, so not great

43
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: for US. Rudy Gobert maybe had finger surgery. He didn't,

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: but I maybe, I don't know. And Arizona, the Arizona

45
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: Cardinals introduce a truly grotesque creation, which is a burrito

46
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: of candy wrapped in cotton candy. It looks truly abhorrent.

47
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: All right, Jamanse, Let's get to the actual NFL news

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: if we could.

49
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the huge stories of this NFL offseason

50
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 3: is if Brandon Ayuk is gonna leave the forty nine Ers.

51
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: Your guy Andrew Philipponi is reporting that there's been a

52
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: verbal agreement between Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

53
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: So it's all but final. But this would this be

54
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 4: a bigger ad.

55
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: For Pittsburgh or a bigger loss for party in San Francisco.

56
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh, that's an interesting way to put it. I mean,

57
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: it would be a massive ad for Pittsburgh. If the

58
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: Steelers get competent quarterback play, they're a legitimate team. They

59
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: assuming they add Ayuk, we know the defense is good.

60
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: They might have the best defensive player in the league

61
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: in TJ. Watt. Last year, they found their way into

62
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs again thanks to a few really good quarterback

63
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: games by Mason Rudolph. We know they're gonna be well coached.

64
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 2: You have some offensive line questions for him, and I

65
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: think they're running back duo is a little overrated. But

66
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: if George Pickens all of a sudden gets dropped down

67
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: to your number two receiver and Ayuk's your number one,

68
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: then the question just is, can Fields or Russ just

69
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: give you the eighteenth best quarterbacking season in football? And

70
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: that should be enough to contend for a playoff spot

71
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: and not contend for a Super Bowl. But it would

72
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: be a great ad for Pittsburgh to the San Francisco

73
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: side of things, because I do believe this is a

74
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: fate accompany that Brandon Ayuk is going to up with

75
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers, that right now they're haggling over some

76
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: financial details with Ayuk while they've they've hammered out the

77
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: trade details with Sam Francisco. That's what Andrew Philipponi is reporting.

78
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: I've known Andrew for gosh darn man, almost twenty years,

79
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: and no one is more connected to the Steelers than

80
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: he is, So I trust his information. Even though the

81
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: National insiders are saying, you know, Andrew's saying it's the

82
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: one yard line. The National folks are saying it's closer

83
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: to the ten yard line. I trust Andrew. If you're

84
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 2: the Niners, this is a debacle. And that is not

85
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: because they can't compete without Ayuk. That's not what I'm saying.

86
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: It's a debacle of process. If you were going to

87
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: trade Brandon Ayuk, you've got to do it before the draft,

88
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: when Pittsburgh was offering you a first round pick that

89
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: you could have used in this year's draft, left for

90
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: a player that can help you this season. The Steelers,

91
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: by the way, in this year's draft, had the twentieth pick,

92
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: took Troy fott new from the tackle from Washington, a

93
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: player the Niners. I don't know if they would have

94
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: picked him, but an offensive lineman could have really helped him.

95
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: When you don't trade Ayuk before the draft, then you've

96
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: got to just be willing to hold your water and

97
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: be like, no, we're not trading him. We're going to

98
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: and if we lose him next year for nothing, or

99
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: if we franchise Tag him and work.

100
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: Out a trade player.

101
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: So so that.

102
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: Answer to the locker room.

103
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: So that is exactly the point Demon's. So that's the

104
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: smart point because we talked about this on the show yesterday,

105
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: which is what leverage does Ayuk have? And the answer

106
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: is exactly that. And I think folks underrate that how

107
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: big of an impact that can have because they don't

108
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: look at football teams like workplaces. But anyone that's ever

109
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: worked in an office and had someone there that was

110
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: important that they couldn't just get rid of, that wasn't

111
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: afraid they were going to be fired, who every day

112
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: walked in with a bad attitude, who talked to people

113
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: behind people's backs, who just sucked the energy out of

114
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 2: any room they go into. Anyone that's experienced that knows

115
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: that has real impact on other people's ability to do

116
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: their work, on other people's enjoyment of going to work.

117
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: And if you're in a team environment, whether it's a

118
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: literal team like a football team or a regular workplace

119
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: where you work as a team, that can totally derail you.

120
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: So that's clearly what the Niners are afraid of. The

121
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: point I'm making Demons is they needed to determine before

122
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: the draft, if we don't trade Ayuk and if we

123
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: don't give him thirty million a year or whatever the

124
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: number is, is that the route he's going to take.

125
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: And if so, then we've got a trade. And we

126
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: don't think we can deal with that, then we've got

127
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: to trade him. And the other reason de Monday that

128
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: I think this is so mishandled is this isn't a shock.

129
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: This didn't catch any He has been flirting with Washington

130
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh for months, openly talking about it on podcasts,

131
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: putting out ig videos saying, oh they're done with me?

132
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: Should doing a TikTok where he's breaking down the commanders

133
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: all twenty two Like, this wasn't a Oh my god,

134
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: who could have seen this coming? Everyone saw it coming.

135
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: So if you saw it coming, had an opportunity to

136
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: trade him before the draft and decided not to to

137
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, lose your metal a

138
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: month before the start of the season is concerning, and

139
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: I think it's damaging, significantly damaging for the Niners.

140
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: Let's go on and okay, are we on to the

141
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: next topic? He no, no, no, we can do with

142
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 4: the other stuff on this Christian McCaffrey.

143
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: Being hurt in them trading Ayuk away. What do you

144
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: think San Francisco's future is for this year?

145
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 2: Well, McCaffery, they're not cooked, but last year they got

146
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: outstanding health by all the Avengers. Right now they're in

147
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: this situation. Trent Williams is holding out. He's the best

148
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: player on the team. I think that'll get resolved, but

149
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 2: it's not ideal. Christian McCaffrey, wh who the two healthiest

150
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: portions of his career have been this time with San Francisco,

151
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 2: is dealing with a calf strain before the season starts.

152
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: That's not ideal. Ricky Persall Pearsall, their first round pick

153
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: has been hurt three separate times in camp, and even

154
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: if none of those are significant injuries, that is a

155
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: double red flag. The first one is, ah man, did

156
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: we draft a player that's gonna have major medical concerns?

157
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 2: And the other one is rookies need training camp more

158
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: than anybody. And Ayuk, who was Perty's only consistent deep

159
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 2: downfield target last year. The reason Perty wasn't a dink

160
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: and dunker was because of Brandon Ayuk. He was fourteen

161
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: yards per attempt to Ayuk six and a half yards

162
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: per attempt to everyone else on the team. All those

163
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: things you put them together to bat offseason. Uh, and

164
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: so that good. Go ahead.

165
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it also seems like Iyuk was angling to play

166
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: with Jaden Daniels in Washington's GM came from San Francisco

167
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: with Washington not being interested in you, is there something

168
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: to read into there?

169
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: So what I readed into that is that Washington understands

170
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 2: that as of this moment, they don't have an NFL

171
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say NFL caliber, but good enough even close

172
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: to good enough offensive line, and they need their draft

173
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: capital to spend on that in future years. They're not

174
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: It's not like Washington this year thinks we're competing for

175
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: a championship. They have Terry McLaurin, they have Donson, they

176
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: have wide receiver is not their glaring need offensive line

177
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: is And for them to you know, trade away elite

178
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: draft resources for what would be a luxury, which is

179
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: another wide receiver is one of the deeper spots on

180
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: the commander's team. That's so I underste right, and I

181
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: don't and I think they know that they are going

182
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: to have to spend a massive amount of draft capital

183
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: over the next few years building up that offensive line.

184
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: They signed Tyler Biadis from Dallas this year. They signed

185
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: my pal Nick Alighretti from the Chiefs this year. Their

186
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: starting left tackle right now is a rookie third round pick. They,

187
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean, they they need the offensive line help. And

188
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: when you've spent a first round pick on Dotson two

189
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: years ago and Terry mclaurin's a really good player, it

190
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: just seems almost like a luxury they can't quite afford.

191
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: That's how By the way, Starver in the mic, that's

192
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: how I read it. I listen. I'm not covering the

193
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: Commanders on a daily basis, but if I were running

194
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: the Commanders, I would say, this is a luxury. We

195
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: are not, you know, we almost don't deserve yet we

196
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: need to do. We need to build up the rest

197
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: of our football team first. All right, let's move on.

198
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: Fair enough.

199
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So hard knocks with the Bears and Caleb Williams

200
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: is officially kicked off. Nick Saban came out and said

201
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 3: that high expectations could stunt Caleb's growth. You actually came

202
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: out and said that Caleb could be in the Super

203
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: Bowl this year. So do you think that you're contributing

204
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: to Caleb Williams potential downfall. U.

205
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I I think that if it

206
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: were a trendy consensus pick, I think that might be

207
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 2: a you know, not great for him. I right now,

208
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: they're over under is set at eight and a half.

209
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: They have the fifteenth best Super Bowl odds in a

210
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: thirty two team league. There isn't too much hype. And

211
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: what Caleb, what people? I understand what Saban is saying

212
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 2: in that expectations. Can you know that if you'd the expectations,

213
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: if they're too high and you don't live up to them,

214
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: the damage it can do to you as a young player.

215
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: What where I think Saban's mistaken is Mistaken's the wrong word.

216
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: The context I would add to Saban's point is the

217
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: expectations for Bears fans is the standard is so low.

218
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: They've never had a four thousand yard passer. They've never

219
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: had a thirty touchdown thrower. The all time franchise leader

220
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: in passer rating for the Chicago Bears is Mitch Trubisky.

221
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: The single best quarterback season they ever had was Eric

222
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,479
Speaker 2: Kramer thirty years ago. Jim Harbaugh was their starting quarterback

223
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: for four years in the nineties and never threw sixteen

224
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: touchdown passes. Okay, so Caleb just going out there and

225
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: being slightly above average is going to put Bears fans

226
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: and Bear's local media over the moon. So no, I

227
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: understand Saban's point, but I don't think the expectations are

228
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: too high. Let's go to the other follow ups.

229
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

230
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So both Caleb and Josh Allen are set to

231
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 3: play against each other this weekend. What are you gonna

232
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: be looking out for for both of them?

233
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'm very curious for Caleb, he's gonna have opportunities

234
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: to run and make plays with his legs. I would

235
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: prefer he doesn't do much of that in the preseason.

236
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: And for Josh, I'm curious who his theoretical number one

237
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: target is gonna be. There have been pretty good reports

238
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,359
Speaker 2: out of Bill's training camp about Khalil Shakir. I'm interested

239
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: in what that looks like. Everybody loves Keon Coleman, and

240
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: then there's Curtis Samuel. It's kind of a hodgepodge. Keon

241
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: Coleman a first round or second round pick, but Rookie

242
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 2: and the other reports are that my guy two time

243
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion, NBS might get cut. Sneaky reports out

244
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: of New England and Buffalo are that Juju and MBS,

245
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs two top receiving targets the last two years,

246
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: might not make either of those rosters. And it's not

247
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: like New England and Buffalo have stacked receiver rooms. So

248
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: that's that's what I'll be watching for those guys in

249
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: that game, all right.

250
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: Next, as your prediction more about Caleb in Chicago or

251
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: your lack of faith in the NFC.

252
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: It's a both. It's both. I think that you look

253
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: at the the NFC. We're gonna get to the Eagles

254
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: issues in a moment, but they're well documented and they

255
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: collapsed last year. The cow had a miserable, miserable offseason.

256
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: I'm the only person that cares about this, but I

257
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 2: do care about it. The Lions lost their kicker for

258
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: the year, and I think that matters, and that's like

259
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: a sneaky important injury. There's no one in the NFC

260
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 2: South I think as a contender. The Niners are going backwards,

261
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: not forwards. So that leaves the Rams who had Aaron

262
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: Donald retire, and then the Packers, and I just think

263
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: the Packers because they were so great in that playoff game,

264
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: people are slightly overstating how good they were over the

265
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: course of the whole season. So all of that, plus

266
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: the fact that I think Caleb's going to be an

267
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: instant star, is why I'm putting you know, I'm putting

268
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: some stock in that. All right, let's go on to

269
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: Hurts and Sirianni.

270
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

271
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, So a new report said that Hurts and Sirianni's

272
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: relationship was fractured last year. So instead of this story

273
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: dying a little while back when it first came out,

274
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: it's getting more life. So it sounds like there's something

275
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: really there. Who do you think has more pressure to.

276
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 4: You know, to make amends Sirianni.

277
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: Hurts, Well, listen, I think Sirianni is more pressure to

278
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: make amends. But I think Jalen Hurt sneakily is under

279
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: massive pressure this year. And we talked about this on

280
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: the show yesterday. So follow me on this, Demanse. Here's

281
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: here's the point that I would be making that I'm

282
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: trying to make, and I understand it's a little counterintuitive.

283
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: If Nick Sirianni gets fired by the Eagles, his next

284
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: job is head coach of an NFL team. His winning

285
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: percentage plus three years, three playoff appearances, plus a Super

286
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: Bowl appearance means if he gets fired, he gets another

287
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: head bite at the head coaching apple almost guaranteed. I

288
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: know that folks are gonna say that I'm getting ahead

289
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: of myself here. But if the Eagles sits sour on

290
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Typically, when a team that drafts you and

291
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: invests in you decides oh, you're not the guy, your

292
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: next job is then a quarterback competition. That's what it

293
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 2: was for Darnold. That's what it was for Baker. It

294
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: wasn't that for Golf, and Golf ended up, by the

295
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: way being the best example of this. It's what it

296
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 2: was for Carson Wentz. It didn't work well, and I

297
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: know people are like, my god, they had a pretty

298
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: quick trigger on Jalen Hurts. The point I'm trying to

299
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: make is this, it Hurts is mediocre this year, then

300
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 2: you're going to look at his eight year sample of

301
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: big time football and say, in college he didn't look

302
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 2: like a franchise quarterback. Early in his career, didn't look

303
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: like a franchise quarterback. The last couple of years he

304
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: didn't look like a franchise quarterback. It was the one

305
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: season when he damn near won League MVP, when he

306
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 2: played a brilliant Super Bowl, and no one can take

307
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: that away from him. But the more we get away

308
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: from that in time until he has another year similar

309
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: to that, I think there's going to be growing concern.

310
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: So I think both of these guys are under massive

311
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: pressure for slightly different reasons. Looks like you have a question, Demonsey,

312
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: So you're.

313
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I understand what you're saying. And I

314
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: think I'm not sure how long Sirianni. How long has

315
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: Sirianni been a head coach?

316
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: So this three years and three playoff appearances.

317
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 3: Exactly, and has a longer sample size, and Sirianni has

318
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 3: a shorter one, and it's better, so.

319
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: Well and and listen, and I'm no Sirianni guy. And

320
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 2: Hurts doesn't have much longer sample size because when I

321
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: say eight years, I'm talking including colleges and having to

322
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: transfer from Alabama. But it's just I think that this

323
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: is the other place where draft bias works. Again. The

324
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: whole league had an opportunity to take Jalen in Round one.

325
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: Nobody did which means there are certain teams or a

326
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: lot of teams theoretically that looked at him as a

327
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: certain level prospect. Teams stick with those biases. Sometimes it's

328
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: the same. The flip side of that happens a lot.

329
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: When a guy who was a top ten pick is

330
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: never good, teams keep taking chances on him because they're like, man,

331
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 2: we had him graded as the seventh best player in

332
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: the draft when we get him, even if he's been

333
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: in the league four years and being cut by two teams,

334
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: and so it's not like Jalen was a sixth round pick.

335
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: But I just think his footing is less certain than

336
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: most people tend to believe. And this article did not

337
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: do him or Sirianni any favors. All right, let's move

338
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: on to hoops real quick.

339
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: All right, So I'm gonna talk a little bit about

340
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 3: Lori marketing, but it's actually about Steph Curry, So just

341
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: walk with me here. After failing to complete a deal

342
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: with the Warriors, the Jazz extended marketing, Golden State wasn't

343
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: willing to include pods into any trades, So how should

344
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: Steph feel about them prioritizing the future instead of the

345
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: end of his career.

346
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, so I thought, I think this is the

347
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: exact right angle. So I think that the Lurie Markinen

348
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: signing is actually a Warrior Steph Curry story because Mark,

349
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: it's not just that he signed the extension with Utah,

350
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: it's when he signed it. So he did what Lebron

351
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: did a couple of years ago, which is signed the

352
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: extension at a late enough date into the offseason where

353
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: he's untradable this year. When you sign an extension in

354
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: the NBA, you cannot be traded for six months. So

355
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: if you sign an extension or a free agent deal

356
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: at the beginning of free agency, you can be traded

357
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: in like January, right because of when he signed it,

358
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: those six months expire the day after the trade deadline,

359
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: so he's untradeable this entire season. That's why it's noteworthy

360
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 2: because the Warriors were in on marketing. A lot of

361
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: people thought they were gonna get marketing. They didn't, and

362
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: then people thought, Okay, well maybe they'll get him during

363
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: the year. Now it's impossible, no one can trade for

364
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: Lauri market in this season, which means the Warriors, much

365
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: like the Lakers, didn't get better. The Lakers did nothing.

366
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: The Warriors, you know, lost Clay and added some you

367
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 2: know pieces to replace him, but nothing significant. And so

368
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: I said briefly yesterday on the show Lurie Mark and

369
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: and signing his extension when he did, made it one

370
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: percent more likely that Stephan Lebron one day play together.

371
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: One percent because I just think that the war Steph

372
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: is going to have another frustrating year. And I think

373
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: these guys playing on Team USA man are like, especially

374
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: the older guys Steph, Lebron and KD are looking around saying,

375
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: we're still good enough, guys, and our teams aren't. The

376
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 2: Lakers are seemed just totally fine, standing pat because nobody

377
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: wants to make a big decision, because nobody wants accountability

378
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: for the decision. The Warriors sneakily are not trying to

379
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 2: spend a bunch of money, and now they have been.

380
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: They've spent more money than any team in the league

381
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: over the last decade, but now they're quietly trying to

382
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: pair that down. The Suns, on the other end, are

383
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: trying to do a lot, but they don't know what

384
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 2: they're doing. So those three guys are kind of stuck,

385
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: and I find it pretty fascinating.

386
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: If that was one with if that was plus one percent,

387
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: what is the percentage of Lebron and Curry playing together now.

388
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: One day in their careers? If I added one percent

389
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: to it, I'm gonna say it's now at sixteen percent. Okay,

390
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: one and six shot. It was at fifteen, Now it's

391
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: at sixteen a one in six shot. So roll a

392
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: die and see if you can call the number. That's

393
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: the odd that's the odds one and six. That's what

394
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 2: I think.

395
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: What else? Uh does Golden State looking down the road?

396
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: Do you think that has anything to do with Steph

397
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 3: kind of lacking in this Olympic run?

398
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: No, I don't buy that at all. And no, I

399
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: don't think that's it. I think that I think it's

400
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: a money thing. I honestly think it's a money thing.

401
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe again, I'm not a reporter on

402
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: the ground there. But when the owner comes out and says,

403
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: our number of months ago, our number one goal is

404
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 2: to get under the tax kind of tells you it's

405
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 2: a money thing right now for them. And then what's

406
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: the last one?

407
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 3: If Vegas offered a bet like a step to end

408
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: his career as a warrior, yes or no? What would

409
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: the odds look like right now.

410
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: Minus three hundred yes, plus two eighty No. But that's

411
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: you know, it's one and four about that. He doesn't

412
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: that's the it's it's not nothing, guys, That's all I'm saying.

413
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: It's not nothing. Quick break right back? What's right?

414
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 4: All right?

415
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back in what's right? With nick right demands? Let's

416
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: get to uh some dues and dons of camp fights

417
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 2: before we get to our game today.

418
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: Yes, with joint practices underway across the league, fights are

419
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: breaking out everywhere. It's not just from team to team,

420
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: it's even teammates. DK Metcalf tried to pull a Miles

421
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: Garrett on his teammates straight. I think he snatched one

422
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: of his teammates helmet off and try to hit another

423
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: teammate with it.

424
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 4: You're on the records.

425
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 3: You're on the record saying that you don't mind camp fights,

426
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: but you don't want receivers punching helmets.

427
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 4: So break it down. Were are some dudes and some don'ts.

428
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, listen, the quarterback can never be involved. Daniel Jones,

429
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: your guy demons tried to get involved in a camp fight.

430
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. You can't use any weapons, and don't punch helmets.

431
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 2: You can see, you can slap, you can.

432
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: Do Daniel Jones my guy anymore. He's not what do

433
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: you mean he's my guy?

434
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 2: Oh you're abandoning him. But yeah, okay, fair enough. You

435
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: can do a Deacon Jones head slap to a helmet,

436
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 2: you can do a mush face. There are things you

437
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: but you can't punch helmets, you can't use helm's his weapons,

438
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: and you can't have your quarterback involved. It's actually, we

439
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: don't need to spend much time on it. Those are

440
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: the obvious rules. And don't if you're a fringe roster guy,

441
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: don't start a fight with a star on the team.

442
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: Just don't. It's just bad business. Okay, like the It's

443
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: just I understand wanting to show fight. There's different things.

444
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: You can maybe bait the star into starting a fight

445
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: with you, but you can't be the one to start

446
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 2: the fight with the star. Everybody knows this. All right,

447
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: let's play a game.

448
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: We're playing right in today. First off, we got chiefs

449
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: and Andy Reid. Andy Reid said that he's gonna he's

450
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: gonna play the starters for the first quarter versus the

451
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 3: Jaguars this weekend a Kansas City playing the Ones against Jacksonville.

452
00:28:53,360 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: Is I mean, here's the thing I don't understand, and

453
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: why more NFL teams don't say, Hey, what does Andy

454
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: Reid do in the preseason in training camp? Yeah, let's

455
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: go ahead and do that. The team that, aside from

456
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: last year, starts every year undefeated in September and is

457
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 2: more ready than everybody. And even before Mahomes got there,

458
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: you know what, came into the season in great shape

459
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: doing things. Why don't we do what he does. It's

460
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: baffling to me. More people, I just don't get it.

461
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: And I understand. It's like, well, Sean McVeigh sat everyone

462
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: in preseason years ago when they started eight. No, I

463
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 2: get that, and I'm not saying it's one size fits all.

464
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: What I am saying is the Chiefs run one of

465
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: the toughest training camps in football. They have the best

466
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: player in the league, he plays in the preseason and

467
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: it's seems to work. So I just don't understand why

468
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: more teams don't copy it. That's all. So Andy Reid

469
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: playing his starters in the preseason is the right move

470
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 2: because Andy's the best coach in the league. I just

471
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: just just like when for fifteen years Bill Belichick when

472
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: he was at the top of his game. You know

473
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: what he did in the draft traded down consistently. Oh

474
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: you desperately want the forty seventh pick, well give us

475
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: fifty six and one oh four and we'll do it.

476
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: Oh you desperately want the twenty eighth pick, well give

477
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: us thirty five and fifty eight and we'll do it.

478
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 2: And it and it worked. I just just figure out

479
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: who the best in the field are and copy what

480
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: they're doing. Is a pretty tried and true way to succeed.

481
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

482
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: So before practice, the Chiefs were asked who the goat

483
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 3: basketball player was, and Lebron won that debate, but Montre

484
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: Washington said Carmelo Anthony was the vat.

485
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: Do you think was going on there?

486
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: Carmelo Anthony Edwards got one vote, Larry Bird got one vote.

487
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: But the story of this was Kobe got six, Mike

488
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: got seven, and Lebron got seventeen, which to which I'll say,

489
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 2: you're welcome, America. I mean the if you want to

490
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: see the impact my consistent dedication to truth and accuracy

491
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 2: in the most important debate in sports MJ Lebron the

492
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: impact it has well, A team full of kids who

493
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: never saw Mike play barely, you know, most of them

494
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: didn't see much of Kobe either, who happened to be

495
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: on a team that you know my TV show is

496
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: on quite often in the facility. Lebron won overwhelmingly. So

497
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: if you have any question about where that alleged debate

498
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: is headed, I think that was a pretty good indicator.

499
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 3: Now, what do you think the numbers would have been

500
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 3: five years ago? Would have been out around the same

501
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: or a lot different?

502
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: No?

503
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no different? Right, MJ?

504
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: By a what by a huge margin? Look at the

505
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: numbers after the last dance came out? But MJ fired

506
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: his last propaganda bullet and and it wasn't enough. All right.

507
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 3: Next, after calling Stefan Digs a great player, Josh Allen said,

508
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'd say I miss him a

509
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: training camp. Between Alan and Diggs, who will miss who more?

510
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 2: All right? So I want to be fair, Josh Allen,

511
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: that's a truncated version of the quote. He said nice

512
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: things about Stefan Diggs, So I so, But to be honest,

513
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: I think Diggs will miss Allen more. And here's why,

514
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 2: because I think Allen was. I think Diggs can be

515
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: a lot, and I think it was he was okay

516
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: with him moving on. If you're Stefan Diggs, with every

517
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 2: year with Josh Allen, you were one of the most

518
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: targeted receivers in the league. You were clearly, without question,

519
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: the Bills number one receiver. You got all you got.

520
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: I think there's a good chance that Stefan Diggs is

521
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: the number three receiver for Houston. Nico Collins is the

522
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: number one, and if Tank Dell is healthy, he might

523
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: be the number two. So I think Diggs is gonna

524
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: miss Josh in that man, you knew you were getting

525
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: twelve ten, twelve targets a game. That's probably high eight

526
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: to ten targets a game, and that's not gonna be

527
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: the case anymore. Next uh.

528
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: During hard Knocks, the Bears thought it was a good

529
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: idea to teach their quarterbacks to slide using a slipping slide.

530
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 4: Totally logical. The Bear's quarterback slipping slide was.

531
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: It was one of the It was one of the

532
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: only times a slipping slide has looked fun other than

533
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: in the commercials there So this is I'm really gonna

534
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 2: pull on the heartstrings of millennials. There are two products that,

535
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: growing up in the commercial looked so elite and in

536
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: practice were a disaster. One I don't know what whosh is.

537
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: What's that?

538
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 4: This this ball that they showed on a commercial.

539
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: It looked like it levitated or whatever, and you like

540
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 3: and you got it and it did none of that.

541
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 3: But that you're probably talking about something that actually works

542
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: and wasn't like a.

543
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 2: T no, no, it was. It's something similar to that.

544
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: So I one was the slipping slide. The slipping slide

545
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 2: seemed amazing. In practice, you get it out in the yard.

546
00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 2: Within minutes, it's just mud everywhere. You try to dive

547
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: on it, you hurt yourself. There's like rocks and roots

548
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: under the ground.

549
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: It does.

550
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 2: It rips awful. But in the commercials it looked amazing.

551
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: I want to see I don't know if we can

552
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: show on camera. Go to the producer's room because you're

553
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: too young for the other item, but I bet someone

554
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 2: in the room can guess it. The other thing that

555
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: looked amazing in the commercials but was just a ten

556
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: out of ten commercials one out of ten application. It

557
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: was a board game. It had a lot of bells

558
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 2: and whistles, a lot of moving parts, and it really mousetrap.

559
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: Good job, Daniel, that's exactly right. Mousetrap. The Mousetrap commercial.

560
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 2: It was like, holy shit, this is going to change

561
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 2: every sleepover I have. This is gonna be amazing. And

562
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: then you get it and putting it together is a

563
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: pain in the ass and none of that cool stuff happens.

564
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: So like those are those are mousetrap slipping slide. I'm

565
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: gonna add another one. Oh what was again? The producers

566
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 2: the millennials will help me. Hot wheels. Hot wheels were fine,

567
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 2: but the hot wheels tracks that really made it seem like, oh,

568
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: this thing is gonna be self subs gonna work. Cook,

569
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: it's gonna work like this. It's not gonna work like this.

570
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 2: The hot wheel cars were still cool.

571
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

572
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: Sorry, this is a non sequent This is you know,

573
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: a bit of a tangent. But this is a great

574
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to put in the listener comments other

575
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: items from your childhood that I'll give you another one

576
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: de monse and you might be old enough, just old

577
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: enough to have dealt with this. The wrestling action figures.

578
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so oh yeah.

579
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 2: Yeah the so right. So no, those were a big

580
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: part of my childhood as well, and maybe by the

581
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: time you were a kid, they were a little more

582
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,959
Speaker 2: honest in the commercials, and maybe I was just dumb,

583
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: but in the commercials, it's like, oh, this guy, you

584
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 2: press this button, he does his finishing move on this

585
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: other guy. But I guess I didn't put together like

586
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: in order for that to work, it's gonna take a

587
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 2: couple minutes of like real you know, finagling of getting

588
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 2: them in the right spot and all of it. Those

589
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: commercials were elite, but nothing. Slip and Slide and and

590
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: Mousetrap were the two biggest fell for the banana and

591
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: the tailpipe of what you thought it was going to

592
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: be and then what it ultimately was. To answer the

593
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: question the Bear's slipping slide, I thought was actually smart.

594
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: I think teaching quarterbacks how to slide is smart. And

595
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: if they don't know how, we've all seen it when

596
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: a guy tries to slide and his foot gets caught

597
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 2: in the turf for something and it looks bad. So

598
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 2: I actually think that was smart. All right, we can

599
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: keep going.

600
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: Katie's legacy is one of the strangest in sports. To

601
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: add to it, he just passed Lisa Leslie to become

602
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 3: the all time leader in Team USA basketball points.

603
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 4: The first line of Katie's legacy will be.

604
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: One of the most talented players in NBA history and

605
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 2: one of the most gifted scorers who oddly didn't quite

606
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 2: have the team's success you would have expected for a

607
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 2: player of his caliber. But also is I said this

608
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: to Colin last night, Brews said something similar. If you

609
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: think of the twenty greatest players in league history, okay,

610
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: of all of them, Durant might be the number one

611
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 2: pick as far as can literally drop him on any

612
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 2: other great team in any other era, and it just

613
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: makes everyone better. Nobody has to take a back seat,

614
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: Nobody has to change their role, nobody all the other

615
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 2: You drop Magic on a great Lebron team, and Lebron's

616
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: got to adjust. You drop Michael on any of Kobe's teams,

617
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: and all of you know, Kobe's got to adjust. You

618
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: drop Shack on a Keem team, and obviously or vice versa,

619
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 2: think of any great team in NBA history and just

620
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: be like, we're dropping Kevin Durant on it. It's like, oh,

621
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 2: that works perfectly, and all their other stars can still

622
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 2: be stars, and he's just going to take over for

623
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: their worst starter at basically any spot and be great.

624
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: And that's why when you dropped him on the Warriors,

625
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 2: they became one of, if not the greatest team ever.

626
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: You drop him on Team USA in any environment, and

627
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 2: he looks like one of, if not the best guy

628
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 2: out there. All right, So let's go to the next one, please.

629
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

630
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: So Justin Fields is starting for the Steelers this weekend

631
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 3: as Russell Wilson deals with his CAF injury. Will he

632
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 3: take advantage of this opportunity? The Steelers QB one this

633
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: season will be.

634
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: I think Fields will start more games than Russ. Gary

635
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: Dulac from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, I think is where

636
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: he is tweeted or reported yesterday that Russ is definitively

637
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 2: the Week one starter. I you know, I'm not there.

638
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a report. That seems a little premature,

639
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: but it does seem like Russ is the likely Week

640
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: one starter. But I think that Fields will start more

641
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 2: games this year than Russell Wilson. And I'm told we

642
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 2: found demons officially abandoning Daniel Jones. Oh that Demonse won't

643
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: get that reference. That's from that. I think it's the

644
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: greatest movie ever made. I think that is. That is

645
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: my number with respect to The Godfather one and two.

646
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: Daniel Plainview is played by Daniel day Lewis, is an

647
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: oil man at the turn of the twentieth century, so

648
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: late eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, and he becomes one

649
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 2: of the richest, most powerful, successful people in the world

650
00:41:52,920 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: while being while being just an absolutely brutal person and

651
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: not good father. And in lockstep with it, there is

652
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 2: that guy Paul Dano who is a immoral preacher who

653
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: is trying to take advantage of the situation as well.

654
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: I'm not giving I mean that is the very I.

655
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 4: Feel like I've seen you watched that movie before something.

656
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason, definitely, I mean I probably watched

657
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 2: it ten times. I think it's the best movie ever made.

658
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: Uh So that's a good photoshop. All right, we'll do

659
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: some listener questions next. What's right? Welcome back in? What's driving?

667
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,720

670
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 2: for amazing pan fried chicken and amazing giant fried shrimp

671
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: and the best chicken noodle soup you've ever had Strouds.

672
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 2: The Strouds was a place I used to take make

673
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 2: them on. I don't know if you liked it or not,

674
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: but I used to. Your mom didn't like it, so

675
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 2: you and I would go a lot.

676
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: There's also aid chicken is different. There's a different type

677
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 3: of cadence to their It's.

678
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: Good because it's not well, that's why it's called it's

679
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,839
Speaker 2: pan fried instead of being deep fried. So deep fried

680
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 2: you dip the whole thing in grease. Pan fried it's

681
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: in a pan with grease and you do it like that.

682
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: So it is very different and I love it. There

683
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: was also do you mind, Demanse, if I tell this?

684
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: I don't even know if you remember. If I tell

685
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 2: the story about when you and I were going to

686
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: Strouds and we got pulled over by the cop. Do

687
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 2: you remember this? You might beat you. You might have

688
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: memoried of this is so Demanse was like twelve, and

689
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: I so if Demonse was twelve. I'm twenty six, twenty seven,

690
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 2: and we're driving to Strouds late on a Sunday, and

691
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: right before we pull up, we get pulled over. I

692
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 2: get pulled over for speeding on Shawnee Mission Parkway.

693
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: And.

694
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: The cop came over and was nice but inquisitive. Where

695
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: are you guys going?

696
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

697
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm just taking my son to dinner.

698
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 2: And again, me twenty six, demands twelve, and I'm not

699
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: gonna like explain the you know, in that moment, I

700
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 2: said him taking my son dinner, and the cop didn't

701
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 2: believe me, but also didn't want to be he was

702
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: not being he was actually being nice, but I think

703
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: was concerned about this child's welfare. And it's so funny

704
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: you don't remember it. He then came back to the

705
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: car and asked me. He was like, hey, do you

706
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 2: mind stepping out of the car for a moment. And

707
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: I was like yeah, and I don't think you knew

708
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 2: anything weird was going on. So I step out of

709
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: I step out of the car. I step out of

710
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 2: the car, and I see him walk over to your

711
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 2: window and say two words to you or ten words

712
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 2: to you. Then he gives me my ticket and he's like,

713
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: all right, you're good. And when I asked you and

714
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: I was like, what was that And he was like,

715
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 2: he just asked me what we were doing. I told

716
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: him we were going to dinner, like okay. So then

717
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: you and I go to dinner at Stroud's and at

718
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: the end of the meal, uh, I asked for the

719
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: check and the waiter comes over and says, now you remember.

720
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember.

721
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: The waiter comes over and says, really weird, this cop

722
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: came in and paid for your meal but asked us

723
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: not to say anything to you. So this, you know,

724
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: this officer was skeptical and I think a little concerned

725
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: about you know, this demands this kid's welfare, And then

726
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: saw that we were being honest and like, not just weird,

727
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: being honest, but that everything was fine, and I think

728
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 2: felt bad about it and paid for our meal. So

729
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: I I remember that like vividly, that whole thing, and

730
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't and I still I almost wish like there

731
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,959
Speaker 2: was something. I never saw that cop again obviously or whatever.

732
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: And you know, I have a lot of criticisms of

733
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: policing in America and stuff like that, but that was

734
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 2: I thought, every single thing that officer did and without

735
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: a side paying for the meal, which is obviously right,

736
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 2: exactly right, paying for the meals above and beyond it.

737
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 2: But it was I thought he handled all of it right.

738
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: He had a funny feeling, but he also didn't want to,

739
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 2: you know, overreact to it. But he also didn't like

740
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: the idea of just leaving it being so he went

741
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 2: above and beyond. Yeah. So so Strouds for that. The

742
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: it's for barbecue Stroud Over, Yeah, for barbecue, for sit

743
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: down barbecue, Jack Stack uh for more kind of hole

744
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: in the wall or authentic barbecue. Every place is great.

745
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 2: People love Kansas City or Joe's Kansas City. I'm an

746
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 2: Arthur Bryant's guy. Obviously, Gates is super famous and for

747
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: like fancy uh the place that my wife and I

748
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: got in age Paropos, the lamb chops and the pork

749
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 2: chops at Propos are elite, elite, elite and for good

750
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: kind of sweet Southern Italian Anthony's on grand Those would

751
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 2: be my recommendations, all right.

752
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 4: Next, uh, Sean just kills Nick.

753
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 3: If you are approached by by celebrity Jeopardy to complete

754
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 3: against Bamani, Mina and Pablo, do you think you're walking

755
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 3: out on top?

756
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 2: Oh? Wow? So favorite in that? Yeah? So Pablo went

757
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: to Harvard, Mina went to Yale. Bamani went to college

758
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: at sixteen and got a master's from North Carolina around

759
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: the age of twenty. If I'm being honest, the favorite

760
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 2: in that is Bomani. I think because Bamani has such

761
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: a random assortment of knowledge and facts, I obviously would

762
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 2: mop the floor with my two rivals, meaning Pablo. I mean,

763
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 2: that's that's obvious. But I do think Bomani's the favorite.

764
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 3: Next, Kine Templar. Do you think lebron kd and Steph

765
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 3: should running back in four years to secure golden three

766
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: v three basketball?

767
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: So evidently the rules of three on three basketball are weird,

768
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: like as far as if you're allowed to play like

769
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: FOEBA has it set up to where you have to

770
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: play in a lot of these three on three qualifiers

771
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: and get points and those. That's why we can't just

772
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 2: send our best players like.

773
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 4: You have to be like on the three on three process.

774
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: Yeah and so so I obviously, yes, I think that

775
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: we could dominate that if we sent NBA guys, but

776
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: they don't want us doing that. They want you to

777
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 2: be like a real three on three team.

778
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 3: Next Artist Matthews is Jalen Hurts just another Carson Wentz

779
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 3: never really that good, just average, but has one season

780
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 3: that he looks awesome like Wentz has had his moment

781
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen in the twenty seventeen season before injury.

782
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: So I that to me, it's way too early to

783
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,800
Speaker 2: say that, but that is the comp of concern that

784
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: now Wins was second big of the draft. Was from

785
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 2: a small school where a guy for a full year

786
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: plays at an MVP level but is never able to

787
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 2: capture anything like that again and didn't look like that before.

788
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: That is the concern. So I'm not ready to say that,

789
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 2: but you can't dismiss it as a possibility.

790
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 3: Next, Doctor turk nerf guns were always doctor Turf okayc

791
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 3: NERF guns were always overrated.

792
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 4: To be honest, super soakers too. I loved both of those.

793
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, we were big NERF gun We still have

794
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: in our basement and like a big plastic toy chest.

795
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 2: We still have all of Demons's NERF guns. We were

796
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: a big NERF gun family. The NERF gun thing is

797
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 2: you just can't be cheap on bullet acquisition. You just

798
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: have to be fine with even if this thing only

799
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 2: shoots six, I'm gonna have three hundred of them because

800
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 2: what can ruin a NERF gun war is like, oh,

801
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 2: I gotta go pick up these bullets and re you

802
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 2: just gotta have a bunch of Is.

803
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 3: A video out there on YouTube somewhere of me brandishing

804
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 3: all my NERF guns collection like I was probably really

805
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 3: fifteen years old.

806
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's fun. I was in love with them.

807
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, Ron Desk. Power wheels waiting twelve

808
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 3: hours for thirty minutes of play.

809
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 4: I don't know what power wheels are.

810
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 2: So power wheels that that's what I was writing. When

811
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 2: I was like five or six and my sister pushed

812
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: me off the back and I snapped my collar bone.

813
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 2: So power wheels demands are the little cars that you

814
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: see little kids driving around on the side.

815
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 4: Okay, I guess I've just never done what they were called.

816
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, so so yeah, I mean I think

817
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 2: that I think those were awesome. I think those apparently,

818
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 2: I guess I don't. I don't have a recollection of that,

819
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: but that makes sense. You can only you know, charge

820
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 2: the battery for so long. So the Danny Tanner says,

821
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: the easy bake oven, I buy that, but I don't.

822
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 2: I didn't have one moonstand I know what that is.

823
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 2: Anything slime related, I totally agree. And you were the

824
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 2: DOORA had a massive slime phase and Deanna is in

825
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 2: the midst of it right now of like still wanting

826
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 2: to do slime slim slime. I hate it, all right do.

827
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:46,720
Speaker 2: LJ from Htown.

828
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 3: LJ from Ahetown says, Hey, Nick, do you think Mahomes

829
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 3: will break Brady?

830
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 4: Will break?

831
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 3: Brady consecutive AFC Championship Games, eight consecutive from twenty eleven

832
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: to twenty eighteen.

833
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, that's so it can't be dismissed. I

834
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: would have told you five years ago that that streak

835
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: is more unbreakable than seven Super Bowls is eight years

836
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 2: straight making the final four is wild. What works against

837
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: Mahomes on that is the fact that the NFL changed

838
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:24,879
Speaker 2: it to where instead of two buys, there's only one.

839
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 2: So Brady almost every year was the one or the

840
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 2: two seed. So to make the AFC Title game, you

841
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 2: just had to win one home playoff game and you're there.

842
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 2: Since they switched it to only one by it now

843
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 2: most years, even if you're thirteen and four, you might

844
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 2: end up having to win two playoff games, So that

845
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 2: makes it harder. But I mean, Mahomes' worst year of

846
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 2: his career is losing an overtime in the AFC title game,

847
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 2: so right now it feels like a good bet he'll

848
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 2: break it. But man, it's just that's so hard. It's

849
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 2: so hard to just to every single year be a

850
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: game from the super Bowl or closer.

851
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 3: All right, last one, Malik, Is there any position on

852
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 3: an NFL roster that you feel like is underrated or

853
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 3: doesn't get the attention that it deserves.

854
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, punter. I would be a guy that spends draft

855
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 2: picks on my special teamers. I think that a if

856
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: you truly can have a super elite punter, it is

857
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 2: a real weapon, and I think they're underpaid and undervalued.

858
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 2: Everyone knows kicker is super you know, is super important

859
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: people because people think about it. But the ability to

860
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 2: consistently pin a team back and affect how they call

861
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 2: offense is I think an underrated thing in the NFL.

862
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: All right, this was a fun show. We got shows

863
