1
00:00:05,046 --> 00:00:08,046
Speaker 1: A Huddle is a production of the NFL in partnership

2
00:00:08,086 --> 00:00:26,206
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Hello everybody, because it's so very much of

3
00:00:26,246 --> 00:00:29,566
Speaker 1: the holidays around and you're welcome to a Huddle. I'm

4
00:00:29,766 --> 00:00:35,246
Speaker 1: doing ACROST the release with myia will Selva joining me

5
00:00:35,286 --> 00:00:38,086
Speaker 1: as always. How okay, So how was a Christmas? How

6
00:00:38,126 --> 00:00:43,566
Speaker 1: were the holidays? It was? They did. They were extremely

7
00:00:43,566 --> 00:00:46,686
Speaker 1: excited right now. They're in the playing with everything that

8
00:00:46,766 --> 00:00:50,966
Speaker 1: I got mode. So whether it's playing volleyball with the

9
00:00:51,046 --> 00:00:55,406
Speaker 1: volleyball net, whether being on the trampoline and slam dunking

10
00:00:55,606 --> 00:00:59,406
Speaker 1: on the hoop, or on the bicycle down the street,

11
00:00:59,486 --> 00:01:03,646
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood, they're all about it. Also, really key

12
00:01:03,726 --> 00:01:07,606
Speaker 1: and very important is the last two weeks garbage pickup

13
00:01:07,646 --> 00:01:13,206
Speaker 1: has been critical. I'm talking recycling bin and garbage bin's

14
00:01:13,606 --> 00:01:20,606
Speaker 1: huge because with all the boxes, all the wrapping paper, yes,

15
00:01:21,126 --> 00:01:23,726
Speaker 1: you need a place to put it. So a sigh

16
00:01:23,766 --> 00:01:27,006
Speaker 1: of relief because I heard the garbage people come and

17
00:01:27,126 --> 00:01:31,286
Speaker 1: was able to haul out it was literally overflowing. MJ. Yeah,

18
00:01:31,286 --> 00:01:33,806
Speaker 1: the same thing in my neighborhood. Everyone's like, okay, are

19
00:01:33,846 --> 00:01:35,886
Speaker 1: they here. Usually there's a little bit of this Dane

20
00:01:35,886 --> 00:01:37,726
Speaker 1: when you hear like the garbage trucks, right because they're

21
00:01:37,726 --> 00:01:41,686
Speaker 1: allowed and not this week, come on, keep them pulling through.

22
00:01:42,286 --> 00:01:44,926
Speaker 1: I know we were talking, but we were talking about

23
00:01:45,006 --> 00:01:48,046
Speaker 1: your family being in town, and I know that's a

24
00:01:48,086 --> 00:01:51,606
Speaker 1: big production, and they say, no, not the backups, olibyang.

25
00:01:51,926 --> 00:01:55,286
Speaker 1: When you know, it's time to worry, right, it's time

26
00:01:55,326 --> 00:01:58,846
Speaker 1: to get everything cleaned up and everything to the nines.

27
00:01:59,686 --> 00:02:03,046
Speaker 1: I mean everything was fine, obviously, right. I freaked out

28
00:02:03,086 --> 00:02:06,286
Speaker 1: because that's my Latina instinct, right, like every crevice of

29
00:02:06,366 --> 00:02:09,166
Speaker 1: the house has to be dusted and cleaned. And it

30
00:02:09,646 --> 00:02:11,886
Speaker 1: was great. My parents are so happy. It was the

31
00:02:11,926 --> 00:02:14,286
Speaker 1: first time that they got to visit our new home,

32
00:02:14,566 --> 00:02:16,326
Speaker 1: which was a really big deal for my husband and I.

33
00:02:16,406 --> 00:02:19,406
Speaker 1: But we hadn't really spend the holidays together in many,

34
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:22,406
Speaker 1: many years, as you know will in this industry, especially

35
00:02:22,486 --> 00:02:25,366
Speaker 1: when you cover NFL, you work on the holidays. That's

36
00:02:25,406 --> 00:02:28,046
Speaker 1: just sort of the price of entry. It's it's our

37
00:02:28,126 --> 00:02:31,646
Speaker 1: busiest time of the year actually, So it was really

38
00:02:31,766 --> 00:02:34,606
Speaker 1: nice that my parents sort of left the rest of

39
00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:38,046
Speaker 1: the fam behind and came to spend it with us

40
00:02:38,086 --> 00:02:40,326
Speaker 1: since we couldn't go to them. So I wanted everything

41
00:02:40,406 --> 00:02:42,246
Speaker 1: to be perfect for them because it's a big deal.

42
00:02:42,526 --> 00:02:45,566
Speaker 1: But it was really different from the like traditional that

43
00:02:45,606 --> 00:02:48,326
Speaker 1: I've been used to my whole life, where it's all

44
00:02:48,326 --> 00:02:50,926
Speaker 1: of my fifty seven cousins and all of my deals

45
00:02:50,926 --> 00:02:54,846
Speaker 1: and thas and everybody's dancing and rating. It was really intimate,

46
00:02:54,926 --> 00:02:58,166
Speaker 1: just us and my brother here at the house. So

47
00:02:58,326 --> 00:03:00,006
Speaker 1: it was it was a different year, but it was

48
00:03:00,046 --> 00:03:02,686
Speaker 1: still just as nice to spend that quality time with them.

49
00:03:03,086 --> 00:03:06,526
Speaker 1: The older I get, the older they get, um, those

50
00:03:06,566 --> 00:03:08,846
Speaker 1: moments are are just more and more important each here,

51
00:03:08,926 --> 00:03:11,966
Speaker 1: so to have them here to give them their gifts,

52
00:03:12,006 --> 00:03:14,766
Speaker 1: we facetimes my sisters who stayed back in Miami, and

53
00:03:14,886 --> 00:03:17,166
Speaker 1: we were all able to still be together. In some way.

54
00:03:17,446 --> 00:03:20,086
Speaker 1: Christmases look different the older you get, you know, so

55
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,446
Speaker 1: it does. It was just taking in those moments, you know, good, Yeah,

56
00:03:23,566 --> 00:03:26,926
Speaker 1: taking in those moments, soaking them in. And I know

57
00:03:27,046 --> 00:03:30,646
Speaker 1: as my kids get older, I am doing just that

58
00:03:30,966 --> 00:03:34,046
Speaker 1: and being able to hang out with my family, bouncing

59
00:03:34,086 --> 00:03:39,366
Speaker 1: around seeing everybody, my wife's family of course my family.

60
00:03:40,206 --> 00:03:42,206
Speaker 1: It's fun for the kids because it feels like they

61
00:03:42,246 --> 00:03:45,646
Speaker 1: have many Christmases and so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

62
00:03:45,646 --> 00:03:49,726
Speaker 1: that's a lot of fun. Lots of seas candies. Lots

63
00:03:49,726 --> 00:03:55,446
Speaker 1: of candy came, lots of cookies, etc. So we had

64
00:03:55,486 --> 00:03:58,326
Speaker 1: a We had a great holiday, and for me, I

65
00:03:58,366 --> 00:04:02,486
Speaker 1: think one of the culminations of the holiday is getting

66
00:04:02,526 --> 00:04:08,006
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to your dad Boppy. We actually

67
00:04:08,846 --> 00:04:13,726
Speaker 1: have him on this podcast, which is amazing. And oh,

68
00:04:13,766 --> 00:04:16,766
Speaker 1: by the way, we have actor Danny Trejo as well.

69
00:04:18,766 --> 00:04:21,766
Speaker 1: Family affair this week it is and we always want

70
00:04:21,806 --> 00:04:23,846
Speaker 1: to make it seem like it's a family affair here.

71
00:04:23,886 --> 00:04:26,366
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's Tony Gonzalez,

72
00:04:26,406 --> 00:04:30,766
Speaker 1: whether it is Tom Flores, George Kittle. We want this

73
00:04:30,886 --> 00:04:32,846
Speaker 1: to be like, you know, familia here we are. We're

74
00:04:32,886 --> 00:04:35,806
Speaker 1: just kicking at me and you. We talk about our families.

75
00:04:35,846 --> 00:04:39,126
Speaker 1: We know how important they are, and we'll just keep

76
00:04:39,166 --> 00:04:44,006
Speaker 1: those family vibes going with Boppy Love Poppy newly retired great.

77
00:04:44,646 --> 00:04:46,846
Speaker 1: I know he was. I mean, don't don't be surprised

78
00:04:46,886 --> 00:04:49,246
Speaker 1: if he just stopped popping up more and more because

79
00:04:49,246 --> 00:04:53,046
Speaker 1: he's looking for a post retirement hobby. He was great.

80
00:04:53,086 --> 00:04:54,806
Speaker 1: He was a little nervous. I'm not gonna lie, but

81
00:04:54,846 --> 00:04:57,686
Speaker 1: two guys will hear him. He crushed it. Um, he's

82
00:04:57,686 --> 00:05:00,046
Speaker 1: a star. We went out yes Kirsten Watson, who of

83
00:05:00,126 --> 00:05:02,646
Speaker 1: course worked with us at nfl UM he does our

84
00:05:02,726 --> 00:05:05,166
Speaker 1: international series on Monday Night Football. It was her day

85
00:05:05,486 --> 00:05:08,366
Speaker 1: and my parents came out with me to go to

86
00:05:08,406 --> 00:05:11,886
Speaker 1: the party. Cool. They were the stars of the show,

87
00:05:12,446 --> 00:05:15,566
Speaker 1: of course they would be. They're like, is that baby?

88
00:05:15,766 --> 00:05:18,086
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, here we go. We look

89
00:05:18,126 --> 00:05:21,446
Speaker 1: what we did, Look what we started. So he's already

90
00:05:21,486 --> 00:05:23,686
Speaker 1: signed an autograph to the thinking celseason. It's pretty great.

91
00:05:24,406 --> 00:05:27,566
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It was fun talking to him again. Danny

92
00:05:27,646 --> 00:05:33,766
Speaker 1: Treo was hilarious. Lots of stories, lots of Danny now right.

93
00:05:34,086 --> 00:05:36,446
Speaker 1: I feel it's like he is like cousin Danny. I

94
00:05:36,486 --> 00:05:39,126
Speaker 1: just wish that we would have had it catered that

95
00:05:39,286 --> 00:05:42,566
Speaker 1: Danny's tacos. We would have just catered our chat. That

96
00:05:42,606 --> 00:05:45,766
Speaker 1: would have been the ultimate we're doing. We're absolutely going

97
00:05:45,806 --> 00:05:48,606
Speaker 1: there as the l Huddle team. Danny doesn't know yet,

98
00:05:48,606 --> 00:05:54,006
Speaker 1: but we will be showing up us there. Well, we'll

99
00:05:54,006 --> 00:05:56,046
Speaker 1: make it happen. We'll try to make it happen one

100
00:05:56,046 --> 00:05:57,766
Speaker 1: of these days. But for right now, well we have

101
00:05:57,846 --> 00:06:07,646
Speaker 1: to make happen. Is headlines, breaking news, some heavy optics

102
00:06:07,806 --> 00:06:13,526
Speaker 1: starting in Leslie is MJ The Raiders bent Derek Carr

103
00:06:13,566 --> 00:06:17,206
Speaker 1: for the last two games of this season. Jared Stidham

104
00:06:17,206 --> 00:06:21,406
Speaker 1: will start a lot of people speculating that it is

105
00:06:21,686 --> 00:06:26,166
Speaker 1: a financial move by the team and that Car has

106
00:06:26,246 --> 00:06:32,406
Speaker 1: played his final game in silver in black. Where do

107
00:06:32,486 --> 00:06:37,366
Speaker 1: you stand on all this? Look? It runs so much

108
00:06:37,726 --> 00:06:40,726
Speaker 1: deeper for us, right because we obviously our co worker

109
00:06:40,966 --> 00:06:43,486
Speaker 1: is big brother Car, David Harker. We get a little

110
00:06:43,766 --> 00:06:47,206
Speaker 1: even added insight in that aspect into what happens with

111
00:06:47,246 --> 00:06:49,486
Speaker 1: the Raiders, into how Derek is feeling. But I think

112
00:06:49,526 --> 00:06:52,446
Speaker 1: Derek has been has worn his heart on his sleeve,

113
00:06:53,486 --> 00:06:56,286
Speaker 1: especially this season, but throughout his entire career. He's one

114
00:06:56,326 --> 00:06:58,006
Speaker 1: of those players that gets up on the podium and

115
00:06:58,046 --> 00:07:00,286
Speaker 1: lays it all out there, takes full accountability. And I

116
00:07:00,366 --> 00:07:03,006
Speaker 1: don't think that the issues that we've seen with the

117
00:07:03,086 --> 00:07:06,086
Speaker 1: Raiders land squarely on his should. There's been some issues

118
00:07:06,086 --> 00:07:09,166
Speaker 1: with fall protection, some offensive hiccups there that have not

119
00:07:09,206 --> 00:07:11,566
Speaker 1: been great for Derek. For sure. It's not to absolve

120
00:07:11,646 --> 00:07:13,126
Speaker 1: him of the of the issues he's had on the

121
00:07:13,126 --> 00:07:15,686
Speaker 1: field as well, but this is the issues the Raiders

122
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:18,286
Speaker 1: have had are not all on him. I don't like

123
00:07:18,406 --> 00:07:21,446
Speaker 1: this particular move, especially when you think of the contract situation.

124
00:07:22,126 --> 00:07:26,566
Speaker 1: It definitely feels like a business move, and I think

125
00:07:26,806 --> 00:07:29,366
Speaker 1: I always have to remind myself of that, like this

126
00:07:29,446 --> 00:07:31,766
Speaker 1: is this is a business. This is a business. At

127
00:07:31,806 --> 00:07:34,806
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we start to root for

128
00:07:34,886 --> 00:07:36,726
Speaker 1: guys and for teams and stuff like that, but at

129
00:07:36,726 --> 00:07:39,006
Speaker 1: the end of the day, there are line items, right,

130
00:07:39,686 --> 00:07:43,566
Speaker 1: and so when things aren't clicking, front offices have to

131
00:07:43,566 --> 00:07:46,406
Speaker 1: start to look at that. I don't particularly love this move,

132
00:07:46,486 --> 00:07:49,566
Speaker 1: but I will say this opens up a whole new

133
00:07:49,606 --> 00:07:52,886
Speaker 1: world for Derek. Even though we were just talking about it. Well,

134
00:07:53,326 --> 00:07:56,606
Speaker 1: he wanted to do his entire career with one franchise.

135
00:07:57,366 --> 00:08:01,006
Speaker 1: That's that's sort of rare in this league. It's rare.

136
00:08:01,246 --> 00:08:05,846
Speaker 1: He actually mentioned it some months ago that he wanted

137
00:08:05,966 --> 00:08:09,806
Speaker 1: to stay with the Raiders organization. I know what I've

138
00:08:09,846 --> 00:08:11,286
Speaker 1: put on film, I know the things that I've been

139
00:08:11,326 --> 00:08:14,006
Speaker 1: able to accomplish, and I still want more. There's still

140
00:08:14,046 --> 00:08:16,126
Speaker 1: more and I want to do it here. I don't

141
00:08:16,126 --> 00:08:17,726
Speaker 1: want to do it anywhere else. I've said it over

142
00:08:17,766 --> 00:08:22,166
Speaker 1: and over again. I I'd probably quit football if I

143
00:08:22,206 --> 00:08:26,406
Speaker 1: had to play for somebody else. You know, yikes, Yeah,

144
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:31,686
Speaker 1: ouch ouch is right. He said what he said, and

145
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:34,646
Speaker 1: he had been with the franchise for nine years. The

146
00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:38,886
Speaker 1: reality is that he did mean it. He absolutely meant it.

147
00:08:38,926 --> 00:08:43,566
Speaker 1: He did want to be there, and it was clearly

148
00:08:43,766 --> 00:08:46,086
Speaker 1: something where he didn't want to be around the team.

149
00:08:46,206 --> 00:08:49,326
Speaker 1: The team didn't want him to be around because it

150
00:08:49,366 --> 00:08:52,566
Speaker 1: would have been considered a distraction. I would have liked

151
00:08:52,566 --> 00:08:55,966
Speaker 1: to have seen him still be on the sidelines, be

152
00:08:56,206 --> 00:08:59,606
Speaker 1: there with his teammates, because let's be honest, if it

153
00:08:59,686 --> 00:09:01,766
Speaker 1: was another quarterback who'd done that, we would have been well,

154
00:09:01,806 --> 00:09:04,126
Speaker 1: wait a second, they're not being a good team to mate,

155
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:07,166
Speaker 1: they're not being around. And I understand that he's set.

156
00:09:07,606 --> 00:09:11,566
Speaker 1: I totally get that, but I think that he didn't

157
00:09:12,006 --> 00:09:14,046
Speaker 1: do any favors for himself, and I don't think the

158
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:18,206
Speaker 1: franchise did any favors as well to this fan base

159
00:09:18,286 --> 00:09:22,966
Speaker 1: who loved Derek Carr as well. He'd been there, as mentioned,

160
00:09:23,326 --> 00:09:27,166
Speaker 1: nine years. The reality is they only had one playoff

161
00:09:27,206 --> 00:09:30,126
Speaker 1: appearance to show for it. Now that being said, he

162
00:09:30,246 --> 00:09:34,126
Speaker 1: took them to the playoffs, and he did so amiss

163
00:09:34,246 --> 00:09:40,766
Speaker 1: so much turmoil with the changing of coaches with Henry

164
00:09:40,846 --> 00:09:45,326
Speaker 1: Ruggs in that situation, certain injuries, they get there, they

165
00:09:45,366 --> 00:09:51,646
Speaker 1: make the playoffs in totality one time in nine years

166
00:09:51,886 --> 00:09:54,406
Speaker 1: is just not good enough. So I understand that he

167
00:09:54,526 --> 00:09:58,126
Speaker 1: led the league in interceptions, and the second half of

168
00:09:58,126 --> 00:10:01,566
Speaker 1: the season he was not playing particularly well. I just

169
00:10:02,526 --> 00:10:04,726
Speaker 1: I don't know where he's going to end up. There

170
00:10:04,846 --> 00:10:07,486
Speaker 1: certainly would be a lot of suitors. I could see

171
00:10:07,766 --> 00:10:11,646
Speaker 1: a bunch of places saying, hey, let's bring in Derek Carr.

172
00:10:11,966 --> 00:10:15,926
Speaker 1: Maybe we work out some arrangement with him, short term deal.

173
00:10:16,006 --> 00:10:18,326
Speaker 1: We have him there. I mean, the Jets could be

174
00:10:18,366 --> 00:10:23,566
Speaker 1: a possibility. So could you know the Panthers, depending on

175
00:10:23,606 --> 00:10:26,726
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do at quarterback. But they've got Sam Darnald.

176
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:30,486
Speaker 1: There's no shortage of places where he could go. New Orleans.

177
00:10:30,686 --> 00:10:35,286
Speaker 1: Maybe there's there's so much uncertainty to your point, I

178
00:10:35,286 --> 00:10:37,806
Speaker 1: don't think it was always on him. The best defense

179
00:10:37,846 --> 00:10:41,406
Speaker 1: that he had was ranked twentieth during his time, and

180
00:10:41,486 --> 00:10:43,846
Speaker 1: he did have to deal with some of the injuries

181
00:10:43,846 --> 00:10:51,086
Speaker 1: that were there. To Darren Waller, to renfro Jacobs, he

182
00:10:51,246 --> 00:10:55,286
Speaker 1: was left for dead and buried, and then they decided

183
00:10:55,326 --> 00:10:58,486
Speaker 1: to keep him there, and then he was running the

184
00:10:58,526 --> 00:11:02,486
Speaker 1: ball with authority and running all over opponents and really

185
00:11:02,646 --> 00:11:06,286
Speaker 1: produced when they needed him to. I just wonder now

186
00:11:06,726 --> 00:11:09,726
Speaker 1: what McDaniels is going to do moving forward at the

187
00:11:09,806 --> 00:11:13,126
Speaker 1: quarterback position, because when he was in Denver, remember he

188
00:11:13,166 --> 00:11:16,046
Speaker 1: had Jake Cutler, got rid of him, then they got

189
00:11:16,166 --> 00:11:22,286
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow in there, and now is going to be

190
00:11:22,446 --> 00:11:26,206
Speaker 1: extra hot on him to produce and to come up

191
00:11:26,246 --> 00:11:29,486
Speaker 1: with something. Because now if they're saying goodbye to Derek Carr,

192
00:11:30,486 --> 00:11:33,046
Speaker 1: they better have somebody who's going to be good and

193
00:11:33,086 --> 00:11:37,406
Speaker 1: who can also convince Davante Adams that he's going to

194
00:11:37,486 --> 00:11:40,126
Speaker 1: be good. Maybe it's somebody like Tom Brady who comes

195
00:11:40,606 --> 00:11:46,006
Speaker 1: right Selene, Dion Britney Spears Ushure. Everybody has a residence

196
00:11:46,326 --> 00:11:50,926
Speaker 1: right there, So maybe that's what Brady comes sex, yes, Adel,

197
00:11:51,486 --> 00:11:55,726
Speaker 1: so who knows. Well, we'll see what Derek Carr does next.

198
00:11:55,846 --> 00:12:01,766
Speaker 1: This was a business decision. Again, good guy leader, but

199
00:12:02,206 --> 00:12:05,566
Speaker 1: they decided the time was right. So it is. It

200
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:11,006
Speaker 1: is what it is. The situation in Miami is another one.

201
00:12:11,086 --> 00:12:14,086
Speaker 1: It is what it is, but it's it's not great,

202
00:12:14,646 --> 00:12:17,846
Speaker 1: especially for for two a tongue of yoloa. As we've

203
00:12:17,846 --> 00:12:21,606
Speaker 1: talked about it before with his first concussion. Now he's

204
00:12:21,926 --> 00:12:24,926
Speaker 1: currently in a concussion protocol again, will not play against

205
00:12:24,966 --> 00:12:29,246
Speaker 1: the Patriots. And Teddy Bridgewater will start. This is your team.

206
00:12:29,326 --> 00:12:31,486
Speaker 1: We've talked about that. What do you what do you think?

207
00:12:31,526 --> 00:12:35,526
Speaker 1: I'm Jay Well, honestly, initially and before we knew that

208
00:12:35,606 --> 00:12:42,166
Speaker 1: too was concussed. The reaction, I think from almost every

209
00:12:42,206 --> 00:12:44,766
Speaker 1: Dolphin spence, certainly from mine, it's nice, man. We can't

210
00:12:44,766 --> 00:12:47,126
Speaker 1: have nice things. We can't really make a strong run

211
00:12:47,286 --> 00:12:50,166
Speaker 1: for the postseason. The second we or at least that

212
00:12:50,206 --> 00:12:52,406
Speaker 1: I knew that it was an injury, I don't care

213
00:12:52,406 --> 00:12:54,366
Speaker 1: about the record, I don't care about anything else. I

214
00:12:54,486 --> 00:12:57,406
Speaker 1: care about the man and what he's going through. I mean,

215
00:12:57,446 --> 00:13:00,166
Speaker 1: you remember we were all sick to our stomachs watching

216
00:13:00,246 --> 00:13:02,926
Speaker 1: him go down in that Thursday night football game with

217
00:13:03,046 --> 00:13:05,326
Speaker 1: that horrible head injury. I mean, that was one of

218
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:08,686
Speaker 1: the scariest things outside of Orienssier that I think we've

219
00:13:08,686 --> 00:13:14,286
Speaker 1: seen in recent years. And so you have to I

220
00:13:14,326 --> 00:13:17,766
Speaker 1: think the issue sometimes with this game is that people

221
00:13:17,886 --> 00:13:23,166
Speaker 1: only see these guys as a jersey, numbers, as a novelty,

222
00:13:23,326 --> 00:13:25,446
Speaker 1: rights as something who's just out there to entertain that

223
00:13:25,526 --> 00:13:28,246
Speaker 1: this is a husband, this is a son, this is

224
00:13:28,286 --> 00:13:32,406
Speaker 1: somebody's someone, right. We love to say when things are

225
00:13:32,406 --> 00:13:34,566
Speaker 1: going great with a team, Oh, that's my quarterback. If

226
00:13:34,606 --> 00:13:36,486
Speaker 1: that's how you feel, then you got to back him

227
00:13:36,566 --> 00:13:38,726
Speaker 1: up when it's the darkest hour. And these things are

228
00:13:38,806 --> 00:13:43,006
Speaker 1: really freaking scary. Man. So now being a concussion protocol

229
00:13:43,046 --> 00:13:45,646
Speaker 1: for the second time this season, this is serious and

230
00:13:45,686 --> 00:13:48,766
Speaker 1: so at this point for me, his health is the

231
00:13:48,766 --> 00:13:51,326
Speaker 1: top priority. We can continue building this team. We have

232
00:13:51,406 --> 00:13:53,926
Speaker 1: Tyrek there, we have a Bottle there, the defense is growing,

233
00:13:54,126 --> 00:13:58,286
Speaker 1: the backfield is strong, that's fine. But if he's not okay,

234
00:13:58,326 --> 00:14:01,366
Speaker 1: what does any of it matter? So for me, my

235
00:14:01,486 --> 00:14:05,406
Speaker 1: perspective on this shift that immediately on Monday, once Mike

236
00:14:05,486 --> 00:14:08,326
Speaker 1: McDaniel said that he was in concussion protocol, that's a

237
00:14:08,366 --> 00:14:11,566
Speaker 1: scary thought. I'm thinking of the human being of two

238
00:14:11,606 --> 00:14:14,846
Speaker 1: other man, not to the QB for the Miami Dolphins.

239
00:14:14,846 --> 00:14:17,926
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm focused on now. If everything else,

240
00:14:17,926 --> 00:14:20,726
Speaker 1: I think team wise to strong enough offense that if

241
00:14:20,766 --> 00:14:22,686
Speaker 1: teddy Be goes out there and just does his job,

242
00:14:22,726 --> 00:14:26,246
Speaker 1: it'll be okay. But um TOA just has to be

243
00:14:26,606 --> 00:14:28,886
Speaker 1: has to be healthy. So that's that's that's where my

244
00:14:28,926 --> 00:14:31,246
Speaker 1: concern is for the Dolphins or now, well, I like

245
00:14:31,766 --> 00:14:34,766
Speaker 1: where your mind is on this, and I throw out

246
00:14:34,806 --> 00:14:38,126
Speaker 1: this question to you, not to be click baity or

247
00:14:38,246 --> 00:14:43,566
Speaker 1: to be hot takish. But do you think there is

248
00:14:43,926 --> 00:14:50,326
Speaker 1: any thought to maybe deciding to walk away and say

249
00:14:50,566 --> 00:14:53,206
Speaker 1: this is too much for me. Again, I'm throwing it

250
00:14:53,206 --> 00:14:56,886
Speaker 1: out right. Nobody could blame him if he did. He's

251
00:14:56,926 --> 00:15:01,086
Speaker 1: a young young man, you know. I mean, this is

252
00:15:01,566 --> 00:15:04,326
Speaker 1: you've got to think about beyond what you just see

253
00:15:04,366 --> 00:15:06,606
Speaker 1: on the field. As it is, this is a short

254
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:08,886
Speaker 1: lived career, right, but if you're already suffering some of

255
00:15:08,926 --> 00:15:11,166
Speaker 1: these things, and that's a decision that only he, his

256
00:15:11,326 --> 00:15:13,406
Speaker 1: health providers, and his family can make. And of course

257
00:15:13,406 --> 00:15:15,726
Speaker 1: we are not privy to the full extent of it.

258
00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:19,646
Speaker 1: That's his private situation. We get an injury report, right,

259
00:15:19,686 --> 00:15:22,926
Speaker 1: we get a status update, and quite frankly, that's all

260
00:15:23,086 --> 00:15:26,726
Speaker 1: we should be allowed to know. This is his life,

261
00:15:26,886 --> 00:15:29,886
Speaker 1: and this is his livelihood and his well being. But

262
00:15:30,006 --> 00:15:33,646
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame him for a second. I wouldn't. That's

263
00:15:33,686 --> 00:15:36,526
Speaker 1: a really scary thought. And to know what could potentially

264
00:15:36,566 --> 00:15:38,166
Speaker 1: be down the line, you know, like that, it's it's

265
00:15:38,206 --> 00:15:40,526
Speaker 1: a lot and it's heavy. That's a lot to think

266
00:15:40,566 --> 00:15:43,046
Speaker 1: about at twenty something years old, at any age, but

267
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:46,446
Speaker 1: certainly when your career is realistically just getting started. But

268
00:15:46,486 --> 00:15:48,686
Speaker 1: it's also the game that you've played your entire life

269
00:15:48,766 --> 00:15:51,486
Speaker 1: up to this point, that you've dedicated yourself too. That's

270
00:15:51,526 --> 00:15:54,846
Speaker 1: a tremendous wait on somebody, while at the same time

271
00:15:54,886 --> 00:16:00,006
Speaker 1: you're trying to make sure that you're okay. Oh I can't. Yeah, no,

272
00:16:00,206 --> 00:16:04,526
Speaker 1: it is. It's an important reminder to people who are

273
00:16:04,566 --> 00:16:08,246
Speaker 1: listening in that these guys are humans at the end

274
00:16:08,246 --> 00:16:10,766
Speaker 1: of the day. They aren't just a commodity. They're not

275
00:16:10,806 --> 00:16:14,726
Speaker 1: just a name or a player on your fantasy team.

276
00:16:15,246 --> 00:16:18,806
Speaker 1: And for Tua, let's just hope that he is feeling okay.

277
00:16:19,006 --> 00:16:21,566
Speaker 1: It sounds like at the moment that he'd be missing

278
00:16:22,126 --> 00:16:26,606
Speaker 1: one game. We'll see if he ends up missing multiple games.

279
00:16:26,686 --> 00:16:29,206
Speaker 1: On the football side of it, they have lost four

280
00:16:29,286 --> 00:16:32,686
Speaker 1: straight games and so they need to figure things out

281
00:16:32,766 --> 00:16:36,686
Speaker 1: as well. I think having and quick and with Bridgewater there,

282
00:16:36,726 --> 00:16:39,606
Speaker 1: I think that helps out. And they face a Patriots

283
00:16:39,606 --> 00:16:44,726
Speaker 1: team that has issues of their own on offense, which

284
00:16:45,006 --> 00:16:47,406
Speaker 1: my mom if she would look at this, and this

285
00:16:47,486 --> 00:16:54,966
Speaker 1: is my Nicaraguan mom with many sayings, so that's basically

286
00:16:55,006 --> 00:16:57,966
Speaker 1: saying like oh, Vey, it's like, oh, can you believe it?

287
00:16:58,206 --> 00:17:02,246
Speaker 1: So my mom has a million and one sayings from

288
00:17:02,326 --> 00:17:06,086
Speaker 1: Nicaragua that I have heard over the years, not only

289
00:17:06,126 --> 00:17:09,966
Speaker 1: from her, but her mom, my grandmother Maya. And there

290
00:17:10,126 --> 00:17:13,806
Speaker 1: is another saying that she says if she thinks something

291
00:17:14,126 --> 00:17:18,606
Speaker 1: is BS or something ain't right, doesn't pass the smell test,

292
00:17:19,206 --> 00:17:27,406
Speaker 1: she says essentially saying, ah, that's BS, that's not really true.

293
00:17:27,566 --> 00:17:30,006
Speaker 1: Come on, give me a break. Nah, no way, I'm

294
00:17:30,006 --> 00:17:32,766
Speaker 1: not buying it in on that. You know what's funny though,

295
00:17:32,806 --> 00:17:34,686
Speaker 1: before you even explained that, I was like, I think

296
00:17:34,686 --> 00:17:37,486
Speaker 1: I can deduce I think most of you out a

297
00:17:37,526 --> 00:17:40,006
Speaker 1: phrase like this because there's many iterations of it right

298
00:17:40,086 --> 00:17:43,246
Speaker 1: from read it. That's funny. Okay, So let's go through

299
00:17:43,286 --> 00:17:46,006
Speaker 1: some of some of these some of the topics going

300
00:17:46,046 --> 00:17:48,726
Speaker 1: around the league today. There's a few that could definitely

301
00:17:48,806 --> 00:17:52,566
Speaker 1: qualify as let's see if if you, if you can

302
00:17:52,606 --> 00:17:55,486
Speaker 1: be proxy for for your mom and getting her headspace. Um,

303
00:17:55,606 --> 00:17:58,166
Speaker 1: let's start with Mac Jones oh Man in his weekly

304
00:17:58,446 --> 00:18:02,846
Speaker 1: w EI interview on Block on that Block, involving Eli Apple. Yeah,

305
00:18:02,886 --> 00:18:05,526
Speaker 1: I think obviously, you know, I went down in front

306
00:18:05,526 --> 00:18:07,166
Speaker 1: of him to kind of get in the way, to

307
00:18:07,206 --> 00:18:10,366
Speaker 1: stop him from flowing down. Taekwon, who obviously couldn't make

308
00:18:10,406 --> 00:18:12,446
Speaker 1: the tackle there, so to kind of went down in

309
00:18:12,486 --> 00:18:14,886
Speaker 1: front of him and um trying to stop the fast

310
00:18:14,926 --> 00:18:18,006
Speaker 1: guy and getting to another fast guy so to split

311
00:18:18,046 --> 00:18:21,006
Speaker 1: seging decision and definitely no intention to hurt anybody on

312
00:18:21,046 --> 00:18:26,926
Speaker 1: that play or is he being a real real come on,

313
00:18:27,326 --> 00:18:30,046
Speaker 1: if you look at that play and you look at

314
00:18:30,126 --> 00:18:33,766
Speaker 1: some others that the internet, as we know is undefeated

315
00:18:33,806 --> 00:18:37,406
Speaker 1: has shown, they're like three or four other plays like

316
00:18:37,566 --> 00:18:42,086
Speaker 1: that that he's made. So for people to put in

317
00:18:42,126 --> 00:18:46,686
Speaker 1: their heads that he's a dirty player, I've seen players

318
00:18:47,246 --> 00:18:51,046
Speaker 1: on Twitter say, Yep, that's dirty. In my book, Yep,

319
00:18:52,206 --> 00:18:56,966
Speaker 1: that's yeah. Yikes, McCorkle seems like the way that he

320
00:18:57,126 --> 00:19:02,806
Speaker 1: talks gee golli whiz. I can't believe that actually happened. No,

321
00:19:04,326 --> 00:19:08,246
Speaker 1: there was in the NBA John Stockton, who's a Hall

322
00:19:08,286 --> 00:19:11,326
Speaker 1: of Famer, play for the Utah guys, and people always said, Wow,

323
00:19:11,326 --> 00:19:14,246
Speaker 1: what a tremendous point guard, the way he distributes the ball,

324
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:17,126
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. But the reality is

325
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:21,286
Speaker 1: he would throw out that elbow and that forearm all

326
00:19:21,286 --> 00:19:23,686
Speaker 1: the time when guys are trying to break through screens.

327
00:19:24,206 --> 00:19:27,486
Speaker 1: This is how it feels like where Mac is like

328
00:19:27,526 --> 00:19:34,926
Speaker 1: this undercover dirty player and he's getting discovered. Get out

329
00:19:34,926 --> 00:19:41,206
Speaker 1: of here. Come on, okay, we have another We've got more. Okay,

330
00:19:41,326 --> 00:19:44,726
Speaker 1: let's go, We've got more. Let's hear from these guys directly. First,

331
00:19:44,806 --> 00:19:47,806
Speaker 1: Robert Salah talking about Zach Wilson. I mean, the Jets

332
00:19:47,806 --> 00:19:50,686
Speaker 1: fans were very direct about how they felt about him.

333
00:19:50,846 --> 00:19:53,766
Speaker 1: Here's what coach has to say. The plan for Zach again,

334
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,206
Speaker 1: it hasn't changed. I still think he's got a future here.

335
00:19:56,246 --> 00:19:58,086
Speaker 1: I still think he's going to be a really good quarterback.

336
00:19:58,926 --> 00:20:00,846
Speaker 1: He just he needs time to just kind of sit

337
00:20:00,926 --> 00:20:03,926
Speaker 1: back and continue the development that we're trying to rekickstart.

338
00:20:03,966 --> 00:20:15,046
Speaker 1: If you will, m well, there's a plan the Makanas sure, right,

339
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:17,246
Speaker 1: I know what he's trying to say. Because he has

340
00:20:17,286 --> 00:20:20,886
Speaker 1: to coach all fifty three players. He's still on his roster.

341
00:20:21,446 --> 00:20:25,966
Speaker 1: They did make the investment in the draft to make

342
00:20:26,046 --> 00:20:29,046
Speaker 1: him the future of the franchise, but it's just not

343
00:20:29,166 --> 00:20:32,726
Speaker 1: working out. He looks out of source, does not look comfortable.

344
00:20:32,766 --> 00:20:36,766
Speaker 1: There is not making good decisions. He's regressed even taking

345
00:20:36,806 --> 00:20:40,406
Speaker 1: that time off. It seems like he has been humbled

346
00:20:41,246 --> 00:20:44,566
Speaker 1: from the experience. But the reality is it doesn't matter

347
00:20:44,606 --> 00:20:47,966
Speaker 1: if it's Chris Traveler or Mike White. The offense just

348
00:20:48,806 --> 00:20:52,406
Speaker 1: strictly looks better. And let's also keep in mind here

349
00:20:52,766 --> 00:20:59,686
Speaker 1: that Robert Sala could potentially be coaching for his life

350
00:20:59,166 --> 00:21:03,006
Speaker 1: because there was a report that you know, the owner

351
00:21:03,126 --> 00:21:09,766
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily too hot on Sala. Ye. So to me,

352
00:21:09,926 --> 00:21:14,526
Speaker 1: this is where ye going back to the Derek Carr discussion,

353
00:21:14,566 --> 00:21:18,646
Speaker 1: this is where they're looking at an upgrade there in

354
00:21:18,686 --> 00:21:21,366
Speaker 1: New York. And maybe is Jimmy g because he does

355
00:21:21,446 --> 00:21:28,246
Speaker 1: have familiarity with Lafleur and with Sala self preservation right now? Well,

356
00:21:28,246 --> 00:21:30,886
Speaker 1: I think what saw for one we have to understand

357
00:21:30,886 --> 00:21:34,366
Speaker 1: about Robert is he's very like team. He's a he's

358
00:21:34,366 --> 00:21:36,846
Speaker 1: a player's coach, right like, he gets in there, he's

359
00:21:36,846 --> 00:21:40,926
Speaker 1: working out with the guys. He really does nurture these guys.

360
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:43,566
Speaker 1: But it's still tough on him when he needs to

361
00:21:43,606 --> 00:21:45,966
Speaker 1: be um. The interesting thing in here is like, let's

362
00:21:45,966 --> 00:21:49,006
Speaker 1: not forget this isn't like a super late year decision

363
00:21:49,406 --> 00:21:54,326
Speaker 1: to sit Zack down. He pulled him last month and

364
00:21:54,446 --> 00:21:56,406
Speaker 1: put in Mike White and had Mike White not hurt

365
00:21:56,446 --> 00:21:58,486
Speaker 1: his rib or whatever. I mean. He's a tough guy.

366
00:21:58,486 --> 00:22:01,046
Speaker 1: We saw him take a lot of freaking hits before

367
00:22:01,046 --> 00:22:03,966
Speaker 1: he got injured. There, Mike would have still been out there,

368
00:22:04,446 --> 00:22:08,606
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget we explored every possible option to

369
00:22:08,726 --> 00:22:11,886
Speaker 1: make sure Mike was still pick out, like ten second opinions,

370
00:22:11,886 --> 00:22:14,966
Speaker 1: ten opinions on his rib injury. So I think having

371
00:22:15,046 --> 00:22:17,646
Speaker 1: Zach back out there was more of a we'll crap,

372
00:22:18,166 --> 00:22:20,846
Speaker 1: Mike really can't get out there, but he will be

373
00:22:20,886 --> 00:22:23,166
Speaker 1: out there this week, So of course Zach Wilson is back.

374
00:22:23,206 --> 00:22:25,686
Speaker 1: I don't think they even intended for Zach Wilson to

375
00:22:25,686 --> 00:22:29,286
Speaker 1: come back at some point this season. Um, whatever the

376
00:22:29,326 --> 00:22:33,846
Speaker 1: plan is, that progression, that development that Robert Sala wants

377
00:22:33,846 --> 00:22:35,606
Speaker 1: to see from him did not happen in that short

378
00:22:35,606 --> 00:22:37,446
Speaker 1: period of time that Mike White was able to start

379
00:22:37,446 --> 00:22:40,766
Speaker 1: for these guys and got injured. Um, maybe he does

380
00:22:40,846 --> 00:22:43,566
Speaker 1: have a plan, but I think it is bless tho

381
00:22:43,686 --> 00:22:47,366
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's heart. He's not working out this right now

382
00:22:47,446 --> 00:22:49,966
Speaker 1: is disastrous and can go down as one of the

383
00:22:50,006 --> 00:22:55,006
Speaker 1: biggest draft bus that we've seen. We'll see, but maybe

384
00:22:55,046 --> 00:22:58,206
Speaker 1: he has a redemption story. Maybe he is like Gene

385
00:22:58,646 --> 00:23:01,646
Speaker 1: Love to come back right. So maybe maybe we'll be

386
00:23:01,686 --> 00:23:04,086
Speaker 1: talking in like three years. Hey, did you see Zach

387
00:23:04,166 --> 00:23:07,206
Speaker 1: Wilson with the Texans and what he did? Maybe that's

388
00:23:07,206 --> 00:23:10,366
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know why I want to

389
00:23:10,406 --> 00:23:12,446
Speaker 1: say the Texas. Yeah, well the Texas they'll be they'll

390
00:23:12,486 --> 00:23:15,246
Speaker 1: be picking a quarterback in the draft, but he'll be

391
00:23:15,406 --> 00:23:18,406
Speaker 1: somewhere and maybe that will be the case, the change

392
00:23:18,406 --> 00:23:21,166
Speaker 1: of scenery, because as we've seen time and time again,

393
00:23:21,606 --> 00:23:25,246
Speaker 1: if you are a top five first rounder, somebody will

394
00:23:25,246 --> 00:23:30,086
Speaker 1: give you an opportunity and you hope he learns and

395
00:23:30,566 --> 00:23:33,966
Speaker 1: puts it all together at some point. All Right, we

396
00:23:34,006 --> 00:23:38,366
Speaker 1: have a little bit more a quarterback news Baltimore. I mean,

397
00:23:38,526 --> 00:23:41,886
Speaker 1: everybody waiting to see Lamar Jackson. So hey, coach Harbaugh,

398
00:23:42,246 --> 00:23:44,286
Speaker 1: what's the status here? Let's hear from him as far

399
00:23:44,326 --> 00:23:46,406
Speaker 1: as because of last year how that ended with him

400
00:23:46,446 --> 00:23:48,566
Speaker 1: not being able to come back from that injury. I mean,

401
00:23:48,566 --> 00:23:50,766
Speaker 1: are you so optimistic, whether it's this week or that

402
00:23:50,966 --> 00:23:52,486
Speaker 1: he is going to be able to come back at

403
00:23:52,486 --> 00:23:57,206
Speaker 1: some point this year? Sure of course, thanks coach, super insightful.

404
00:23:57,566 --> 00:24:03,366
Speaker 1: Um think that was not convincing from from John Harbaugh. No,

405
00:24:03,646 --> 00:24:07,206
Speaker 1: that wasn't just yeah, sure of course now, but but

406
00:24:07,206 --> 00:24:09,686
Speaker 1: it's not like We're saying, hey, you know, coach, do

407
00:24:09,726 --> 00:24:12,486
Speaker 1: you want cream in your coffee? It's like, yeah, no, sure,

408
00:24:12,526 --> 00:24:15,606
Speaker 1: of course, you know this is like a big deal.

409
00:24:15,886 --> 00:24:21,526
Speaker 1: I honestly think it's not. I do think the truth

410
00:24:21,646 --> 00:24:24,366
Speaker 1: is he is going to play because they are going

411
00:24:24,406 --> 00:24:26,806
Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs. I think that he's just

412
00:24:26,926 --> 00:24:31,006
Speaker 1: not going to play in the next two games. I

413
00:24:31,046 --> 00:24:34,766
Speaker 1: do think that they need him in the playoffs no

414
00:24:34,846 --> 00:24:39,326
Speaker 1: matter what. Anything is no offense to Snoop Huntley there,

415
00:24:39,366 --> 00:24:42,206
Speaker 1: but they need Lamar Jackson back. He just brings the

416
00:24:42,286 --> 00:24:46,486
Speaker 1: dynamic that they don't have as long as he is healthy.

417
00:24:46,646 --> 00:24:49,166
Speaker 1: And we've mentioned it on this podcast. He just does

418
00:24:49,246 --> 00:24:53,366
Speaker 1: not have the perimeter weapons. Yeah, he's got Mark Andrews,

419
00:24:53,446 --> 00:24:59,926
Speaker 1: but again he got Deshaun Jackson and Babe and he

420
00:24:59,966 --> 00:25:03,326
Speaker 1: missed a lat and Devin du Arnay, great player, but

421
00:25:04,046 --> 00:25:07,006
Speaker 1: they don't have a receiver one there. And for the

422
00:25:07,046 --> 00:25:09,766
Speaker 1: playoffs though, I think he's going to be there. He

423
00:25:09,846 --> 00:25:13,206
Speaker 1: has to be there, and I think they need him.

424
00:25:13,526 --> 00:25:16,766
Speaker 1: But that contract of his that I think is probably

425
00:25:16,966 --> 00:25:21,366
Speaker 1: playing a part in this or lack thereof exactly, you know,

426
00:25:21,406 --> 00:25:23,726
Speaker 1: but maybe he'll be like Floyd Mayweather, you know that

427
00:25:23,846 --> 00:25:26,046
Speaker 1: meme whors. It's like him that table and it's all

428
00:25:26,046 --> 00:25:30,286
Speaker 1: stacks of cash. Maybe that is Lamar here looking at

429
00:25:30,326 --> 00:25:36,446
Speaker 1: this situation. Now you know what I'm talking about. I've

430
00:25:36,446 --> 00:25:40,206
Speaker 1: seen it a lot. I would love that for him

431
00:25:40,286 --> 00:25:42,406
Speaker 1: because I think we've been yelling for so long. Pay

432
00:25:42,446 --> 00:25:45,326
Speaker 1: this man. He's in the contracts, and then he gets

433
00:25:45,406 --> 00:25:48,286
Speaker 1: hurt this I don't think him being hurt should stop

434
00:25:48,326 --> 00:25:52,646
Speaker 1: that from happening. Show me the money, show him the money,

435
00:25:52,686 --> 00:25:54,046
Speaker 1: but I'll take them too if you want to throw

436
00:25:54,086 --> 00:25:57,366
Speaker 1: some my way to just saying let me yeah, all right,

437
00:25:57,566 --> 00:25:59,846
Speaker 1: all right. I think that's a very clear way to

438
00:26:00,406 --> 00:26:05,246
Speaker 1: emphasize and explain food. We got it now now we're rolling. Yeah,

439
00:26:05,286 --> 00:26:07,926
Speaker 1: every week we got the week a little something that

440
00:26:08,006 --> 00:26:13,646
Speaker 1: we're like, really coach, really bro especially as we got

441
00:26:13,646 --> 00:26:16,246
Speaker 1: closer to the postseason. That's great. We still got a

442
00:26:16,246 --> 00:26:18,166
Speaker 1: lot less coming up here on l Huddle. It's a

Speaker 1: m J. You know, when we do this podcast, we

450
00:26:56,646 --> 00:26:59,606
Speaker 1: always want to make people feel welcome, and the way

451
00:26:59,646 --> 00:27:04,206
Speaker 1: that we do that is by showing a little bit

466
00:28:31,566 --> 00:28:34,926
Speaker 1: Everybody WhatsApp, right, especially because it's international, so it's like

467
00:28:34,966 --> 00:28:37,806
Speaker 1: the easiest way for everybody to communicate, not everybody has

468
00:28:37,806 --> 00:28:40,246
Speaker 1: an iPhone, so it's sort of because we have a

469

00:29:30,726 --> 00:29:43,206
Speaker 1: things to come um too. Qui Faito So Lottle Bills,

481
00:29:42,966 --> 00:29:49,446
Speaker 1: Los Dolphins? What what? What happened? Why Bills not Dolphins?

482
00:29:49,526 --> 00:29:53,166
Speaker 1: In the thing is that when I moved to to

483
00:29:53,206 --> 00:29:57,446
Speaker 1: the United States, I went to New York first in

484
00:29:57,606 --> 00:30:03,686
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen eighty seven, and the best football team was

485
00:30:03,726 --> 00:30:11,286
Speaker 1: the bow because Kelly Waste in nineteen ninety seven. When

486
00:30:11,326 --> 00:30:14,006
Speaker 1: we moved to Ye, that we went to Miami then

487
00:30:14,126 --> 00:30:17,726
Speaker 1: and Jay started to follow the Dolphins. The Dolphin then

488
00:30:17,766 --> 00:30:20,046
Speaker 1: like she was, she leaded for the Dolphin, everything for

489
00:30:20,086 --> 00:30:23,246
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. But she got about luck that I got

490
00:30:23,246 --> 00:30:32,126
Speaker 1: it because no, never either, right, you see how months away? Yeah, yeah,

491
00:30:28,886 --> 00:30:36,846
Speaker 1: it's like doctor I know the best part of this

492
00:30:37,286 --> 00:30:39,206
Speaker 1: is that he didn't tell me that he was a

493
00:30:39,206 --> 00:30:42,486
Speaker 1: Bills fan until like a few months ago. All this time,

494
00:30:42,806 --> 00:30:44,766
Speaker 1: my whole life, I thought he was a Dolphins fan

495
00:30:45,126 --> 00:30:47,206
Speaker 1: because he cheered for so I guess you cheered for me,

496
00:30:48,446 --> 00:30:51,526
Speaker 1: not so much for the Dolphins. The thing that the dolphin.

497
00:30:52,206 --> 00:30:55,446
Speaker 1: It's a little better now, but you know, all the

498
00:30:55,566 --> 00:30:58,966
Speaker 1: things it was. Yeah, I mean the Bills went through

499
00:30:58,966 --> 00:31:03,806
Speaker 1: a long time where they were not great. Yeah. When

500
00:31:04,326 --> 00:31:08,326
Speaker 1: the I called it Alan, I called him Josh, Yes,

501
00:31:08,606 --> 00:31:14,326
Speaker 1: I called him a young he's out of this world. Yeah,

502
00:31:15,846 --> 00:31:19,006
Speaker 1: you're right, You're all right. He is human. So so

503
00:31:19,046 --> 00:31:20,886
Speaker 1: this is one of the questions, one of the preguntas

504
00:31:20,926 --> 00:31:23,526
Speaker 1: we had for you, Poppy this week. Oh yeah, yeah,

505
00:31:24,086 --> 00:31:28,686
Speaker 1: what is more likely Do the Bills make the Super

506
00:31:28,726 --> 00:31:31,206
Speaker 1: Bowl or maybe do the Cowboys make the Super Bowl?

507
00:31:31,246 --> 00:31:36,766
Speaker 1: What's more likely to happen? Definitely going to the Bowl too, Yeah,

508
00:31:36,926 --> 00:31:39,806
Speaker 1: more than the Chiefs. They almost even did you see

509
00:31:39,806 --> 00:31:45,366
Speaker 1: the last year? Yeah, that was the best game of

510
00:31:44,566 --> 00:31:52,606
Speaker 1: the playoff for sure? Sure, and uh was then Allen

511
00:31:53,366 --> 00:32:00,126
Speaker 1: Um for me the best right now? Yeah, but definitely

512
00:32:00,726 --> 00:32:04,286
Speaker 1: the Bill going to Super Bowl because I'm nine percent

513
00:32:04,366 --> 00:32:09,086
Speaker 1: they're going to oh oh prediction already. So not only

514
00:32:09,126 --> 00:32:14,566
Speaker 1: are they going to I like it. I like it.

515
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:23,646
Speaker 1: That's good. Okay, Yeah, Um, what did you have for

516
00:32:23,726 --> 00:32:28,406
Speaker 1: Christmas dinner? Well? In your house? Uh, let's see. In

517
00:32:28,686 --> 00:32:34,806
Speaker 1: our house, really it was um at my um brother

518
00:32:34,846 --> 00:32:37,246
Speaker 1: and sister in law's house. You know, we had these

519
00:32:37,286 --> 00:32:42,126
Speaker 1: potatoes with a little bacon on there. We had uh yeah,

520
00:32:42,206 --> 00:32:45,646
Speaker 1: so we had that. We had some steak as well,

521
00:32:46,326 --> 00:32:54,046
Speaker 1: we had salad, we had rolls, so very hearty meal. Now, yes, yes,

522
00:32:54,126 --> 00:32:56,726
Speaker 1: So I was literally in a food coma after I

523
00:32:56,966 --> 00:32:59,126
Speaker 1: ate and then you're like, oh wait, we have to

524
00:32:59,126 --> 00:33:03,526
Speaker 1: open up presents, right. It's it's very different like in

525
00:33:03,606 --> 00:33:06,886
Speaker 1: West at Coultua, you know, we would do is that

526
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:11,566
Speaker 1: growing up? But we would go to Mass, then we

527
00:33:11,566 --> 00:33:15,126
Speaker 1: would eat, and then we would open up the presence

528
00:33:15,406 --> 00:33:18,086
Speaker 1: and so in other words, we wouldn't go to bed

529
00:33:18,606 --> 00:33:20,966
Speaker 1: until like at least seven or eight o'clock in the

530
00:33:21,006 --> 00:33:24,966
Speaker 1: morning the next day the next day, so we would

531
00:33:25,006 --> 00:33:28,166
Speaker 1: do you know misadi, you know, we would do that

532
00:33:31,006 --> 00:33:34,406
Speaker 1: and then we we go home, we eat, and then

533
00:33:34,526 --> 00:33:37,246
Speaker 1: we open up the presence. So literally like the sun

534
00:33:37,286 --> 00:33:39,646
Speaker 1: would be up and we'd be opening up, you know,

535
00:33:39,686 --> 00:33:42,326
Speaker 1: the presence, and so, you know, my parents always head

536
00:33:42,326 --> 00:33:47,686
Speaker 1: plus And then in later years we stopped doing that

537
00:33:47,766 --> 00:33:51,606
Speaker 1: because we'd be so tired. Christmas Day, we'd be sleeping

538
00:33:51,646 --> 00:33:56,126
Speaker 1: the whole day. We had like a similar so our

539
00:33:56,206 --> 00:33:58,606
Speaker 1: no Chebuena used to be at my Madina's house, at

540
00:33:58,646 --> 00:34:01,606
Speaker 1: my godmother's house, and that's where somebody just sld my

541
00:34:01,686 --> 00:34:04,086
Speaker 1: dad that they saw his dance moves on Instagram because

542
00:34:04,086 --> 00:34:06,766
Speaker 1: I was posting pictures of us dance and all that stuff.

543
00:34:06,846 --> 00:34:11,206
Speaker 1: But it was a party Babby at the house. Y. Yeah,

544
00:34:11,246 --> 00:34:13,486
Speaker 1: this is the here in New United State, but in

00:34:13,606 --> 00:34:21,086
Speaker 1: Santo Domingo it's Cassie is Saku really? Oh yes, we

00:34:24,006 --> 00:34:28,966
Speaker 1: I mean night, I mean night. Then after night, then

548
00:34:29,006 --> 00:34:35,366
Speaker 1: we're going back to home to aid them my live party. Yeah,

549
00:34:35,366 --> 00:34:39,606
Speaker 1: the next day then we opened it, but no, and

550
00:34:39,686 --> 00:34:43,366
Speaker 1: they came down to this countree yeah, they everything caned.

551
00:34:43,766 --> 00:34:46,286
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure I did Christmas as a baby

552
00:34:46,526 --> 00:34:48,806
Speaker 1: in Santo Domingo, but I don't remember it. All of

553
00:34:48,846 --> 00:34:51,206
Speaker 1: my like and stuff are when we were in the US,

554
00:34:51,926 --> 00:34:54,486
Speaker 1: at least my memory of my recollection. So I didn't

555
00:34:54,486 --> 00:34:56,486
Speaker 1: even know that that's how they did it. And so

556
00:34:56,606 --> 00:35:00,046
Speaker 1: you only had one year then, but obviously I didn't remember.

557
00:35:00,126 --> 00:35:04,726
Speaker 1: But it was just one year, like well I lived three, yeah,

558
00:35:04,366 --> 00:35:19,406
Speaker 1: and occur, so okay, I don't remember. Yeah, but it's uh,

559
00:35:19,766 --> 00:35:24,606
Speaker 1: potato salad, Yeah, my mom's potato salad specifically. Now the

560
00:35:24,646 --> 00:35:31,526
Speaker 1: potato salado seems like that's out of nowhere. No see

561
00:35:41,246 --> 00:35:57,366
Speaker 1: binos because it's being notings egg. It's but better matter

562
00:35:57,446 --> 00:36:05,566

564
00:36:13,846 --> 00:36:16,246
Speaker 1: But okay, so listen, this year, I was in charge

565
00:36:16,246 --> 00:36:19,366
Speaker 1: of dinner and it was a big group. You know,

566
00:36:19,366 --> 00:36:22,646
Speaker 1: it's just my go I mean, I asked my dad

567
00:36:22,686 --> 00:36:25,006
Speaker 1: moment of truth. I made lasagna. Dad, it's the easiest

568
00:36:25,006 --> 00:36:27,966
Speaker 1: way to feed everybody. I'm not wow. So I made

569
00:36:28,006 --> 00:36:41,246
Speaker 1: lasagna the first time, okay, see yeah, the next day

570
00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:46,326
Speaker 1: went better. It's always better. Don't be telling people I

571
00:36:46,366 --> 00:36:53,126
Speaker 1: can't cook now. No, honestly, lasagna is always better next day.

572
00:36:53,366 --> 00:36:59,966
Speaker 1: I think it's great for leftovers, is it? Is it?

573
00:37:00,086 --> 00:37:04,246
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I don't like a butcher shop here,

574
00:37:04,286 --> 00:37:06,406
Speaker 1: Like you know in Miami and in New York, they

575
00:37:06,406 --> 00:37:07,806
Speaker 1: know where to go to get their meat, to get

576
00:37:07,846 --> 00:37:09,806
Speaker 1: their pork, to get all this stuff. I don't have

577
00:37:09,846 --> 00:37:11,766
Speaker 1: that stuff late out for me here. I was nervous.

578
00:37:11,846 --> 00:37:14,006
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, so I was like, what's the

579
00:37:14,086 --> 00:37:16,286
Speaker 1: easiest default me? All? I know that we'll feed. Like

580
00:37:16,326 --> 00:37:18,886
Speaker 1: my brother was there too, like it's a big group.

581
00:37:20,086 --> 00:37:24,286
Speaker 1: But but yeah, so were you able to enjoy it though?

582
00:37:24,286 --> 00:37:26,566
Speaker 1: Were you kind of like yeah, hey, you're like trying

583
00:37:26,566 --> 00:37:30,326
Speaker 1: to smile and try to I mean, we were okay.

584
00:37:30,926 --> 00:37:34,726
Speaker 1: The way we gather is with food, right, like all Latinos.

585
00:37:34,766 --> 00:37:37,726
Speaker 1: That's how that's the interaction. That's how you show love.

586
00:37:37,766 --> 00:37:39,406
Speaker 1: And I wanted to, like, I wanted to make my

587
00:37:39,486 --> 00:37:41,086
Speaker 1: parents proud. My mom was there and I'm like, I

588
00:37:41,206 --> 00:37:45,726
Speaker 1: got it. I'll cook the following day. She did cook

589
00:37:45,926 --> 00:37:49,166
Speaker 1: to be quick. Yesterday she cooked for Monday night football.

590
00:37:49,206 --> 00:37:53,726
Speaker 1: She made us a great poto salo and we made

591
00:37:53,726 --> 00:37:56,366
Speaker 1: some mashed potatoes like it was. You know, it's hard

592
00:37:56,366 --> 00:38:00,406
Speaker 1: because we can't find the traditional like Dominican food here

593
00:38:00,446 --> 00:38:05,086
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. So whoever d upout Dominican bodega in La,

594
00:38:05,406 --> 00:38:07,406
Speaker 1: please tell me where to go, because it's very hard

595
00:38:07,446 --> 00:38:10,966
Speaker 1: for me to find good plantings, to find to find

596
00:38:12,046 --> 00:38:13,606
Speaker 1: which is the cheese that you can fry. It's not

597
00:38:13,726 --> 00:38:17,126
Speaker 1: the same as like chi is very different, So it's hard.

598
00:38:17,246 --> 00:38:27,046
Speaker 1: It's hard for Dominican girl in La trying exact, trying

599
00:38:27,126 --> 00:38:29,166
Speaker 1: so hard, but it's tough. I think I have to go.

600
00:38:29,246 --> 00:38:32,566
Speaker 1: They told me I gotta go to like East La, Okay,

601
00:38:33,846 --> 00:38:36,446
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. I don't know, you know, I stay right

602
00:38:36,486 --> 00:38:39,406
Speaker 1: in this area by the coast, so I gotta. Yeah,

603
00:38:40,206 --> 00:38:44,406
Speaker 1: but there are definitely like Nicaraguan and Salvadorian restaurants too,

604
00:38:44,846 --> 00:38:47,566
Speaker 1: so there's things that are similar, like like Boo boosas

605
00:38:47,846 --> 00:38:51,406
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, and then we'd also eat gotyo

606
00:38:51,486 --> 00:38:53,726
Speaker 1: bean though, which is great. That was like our own

607
00:38:54,206 --> 00:38:56,806
Speaker 1: rice and beans. I think we talked about yes, um,

608
00:38:57,486 --> 00:39:03,446
Speaker 1: so you need to now I remember m jaw this

609
00:39:03,606 --> 00:39:05,966
Speaker 1: is correct me. If I'm wrong, I think you said

610
00:39:06,006 --> 00:39:10,366
Speaker 1: in a past podcast episode that was it that your

611
00:39:10,486 --> 00:39:15,446
Speaker 1: mom or whoever is cooking and they put ching ching. Oh, mommy,

612
00:39:15,766 --> 00:39:19,846
Speaker 1: we're talking about the measurements when you cook. No wakamunt

613
00:39:20,006 --> 00:39:30,126
Speaker 1: spoon unching man. Mom confirms, confirms, there isn't no rights

614
00:39:30,246 --> 00:39:35,446
Speaker 1: as much as as much as your soul tells you ching. Yeah,

615
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,526
Speaker 1: so as you measure with your eyes the whole time.

616
00:39:38,246 --> 00:39:42,366
Speaker 1: If you could really cook, you don't need spoons, tea spoons.

617
00:39:42,406 --> 00:39:44,526
Speaker 1: There's none of that in the Mega Republic. There's none

618
00:39:44,526 --> 00:39:46,926
Speaker 1: of that. You just know. I love it. And so

619
00:39:47,246 --> 00:39:50,086
Speaker 1: while your dad is here, m J, why don't we

620
00:39:50,206 --> 00:39:53,086
Speaker 1: go through some picks. I feel like it's appropriate. Dad,

621
00:39:53,166 --> 00:39:58,086
Speaker 1: Is that okay? Okay, Mama. Let's start with your team,

622
00:39:58,166 --> 00:40:01,206
Speaker 1: the Bills and Bengals Monday. You said it's the best

623
00:40:01,526 --> 00:40:11,446
Speaker 1: game of the week, Gangana, Bill, Yeah, very close. Close. Yeah,

624
00:40:11,566 --> 00:40:19,766
Speaker 1: then you'll see spread I don't know yet. Yes, three points,

625
00:40:20,286 --> 00:40:24,046
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a close game for the put put

626
00:40:24,126 --> 00:40:28,686
Speaker 1: touch down. Then I going to the Bengals better the

627
00:40:28,846 --> 00:40:41,726
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow one one the spread right now? One point? Bill,

628
00:40:41,886 --> 00:40:46,646
Speaker 1: that's crazy, Bill. I think the Bengals are dangerous than

629
00:40:49,886 --> 00:40:52,326
Speaker 1: I think they're the most dangerous team in the NFL

630
00:40:52,566 --> 00:40:55,366
Speaker 1: right now, with the way that they're playing, and I

631
00:40:55,406 --> 00:40:58,406
Speaker 1: think they're winning all the games that they need to win.

632
00:40:58,526 --> 00:41:02,046
Speaker 1: He finally he beat the Patriots, finally beat the Browns.

633
00:41:02,726 --> 00:41:05,046
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Joe Burrow just seems like he's a

634
00:41:05,206 --> 00:41:08,886
Speaker 1: seasoned veteran out there distributing the ball, and we've talked

635
00:41:08,886 --> 00:41:13,086
Speaker 1: about it on this podcast, like really just making great decisions.

636
00:41:13,526 --> 00:41:16,526
Speaker 1: And I think with Josh Allen, I agree he is

637
00:41:16,646 --> 00:41:19,726
Speaker 1: an alien. But with Josh Allen, how much do you

638
00:41:19,966 --> 00:41:23,046
Speaker 1: rain him in? Right? He makes so many of these

639
00:41:23,166 --> 00:41:27,926
Speaker 1: throws yeah, yes, yes. And Sean McDermot when he came

640
00:41:27,966 --> 00:41:30,126
Speaker 1: out of Good Morning Football, he said that Josh Allen

641
00:41:30,246 --> 00:41:31,966
Speaker 1: makes a lot of those no no, no, yes, yes

642
00:41:32,086 --> 00:41:35,646
Speaker 1: yes plays and you have to live and die by that,

643
00:41:35,766 --> 00:41:38,766
Speaker 1: which is hard. And you know, one of those great

644
00:41:38,806 --> 00:41:41,726
Speaker 1: plays can either vault them right to the super Bowl

645
00:41:41,886 --> 00:41:44,446
Speaker 1: or you know, that could be one thing, a critical

646
00:41:44,526 --> 00:41:47,526
Speaker 1: air that keeps them, that holds them back, right, you

647
00:41:47,646 --> 00:41:49,766
Speaker 1: know that that's in the big picture though at least.

648
00:41:49,846 --> 00:41:53,206
Speaker 1: But I think the Bengals, I think they may take

649
00:41:53,246 --> 00:41:57,126
Speaker 1: this one interesting. All right, Well, I'm very curious because suddenly,

650
00:41:57,486 --> 00:42:00,806
Speaker 1: and this hurts my soul to talk about the Packers

651
00:42:01,246 --> 00:42:04,326
Speaker 1: have stunk together through Okay, Randy, we get it, we

652
00:42:04,446 --> 00:42:08,206
Speaker 1: get it. Um, they played well, They're fair to play better.

653
00:42:08,286 --> 00:42:09,766
Speaker 1: Right when they got to go up against the Fins,

654
00:42:09,806 --> 00:42:11,406
Speaker 1: which I thought for sure was going to be a

655
00:42:11,486 --> 00:42:14,966
Speaker 1: win for the Dolphins. Wrong, so so wrong. You're going

656
00:42:15,046 --> 00:42:20,486
Speaker 1: up against the Vikings. This is an interesting one because

657
00:42:20,526 --> 00:42:22,886
Speaker 1: the Vikings are crushing it too. But I feel like

658
00:42:23,006 --> 00:42:28,926
Speaker 1: now suddenly Rogers is back to his his villain ways. Yeah,

659
00:42:29,046 --> 00:42:33,366
Speaker 1: and the Vikings they win these close games. I believe

660
00:42:33,446 --> 00:42:38,046
Speaker 1: they've had eleven one score something of wins third. Yeah,

661
00:42:38,246 --> 00:42:43,606
Speaker 1: that's an NFL record. I always get people saying to me,

662
00:42:43,726 --> 00:42:47,006
Speaker 1: they seem so lucky. They always seem so lucky. I

663
00:42:47,046 --> 00:42:50,446
Speaker 1: don't know. Kirk Couses is playing really well. Justin Jefferson.

664
00:42:50,886 --> 00:42:55,206
Speaker 1: You know, our colleague Jamie Earle had said that Justin

665
00:42:55,326 --> 00:42:59,686
Speaker 1: Jefferson probably deserves some consideration for MVP. Oh the way

666
00:42:59,726 --> 00:43:07,606
Speaker 1: that he's playing. Yeah, so the Dad, the Packers are

667
00:43:07,686 --> 00:43:10,806
Speaker 1: favored three and a half of the Packers. I see

668
00:43:10,806 --> 00:43:13,646
Speaker 1: the Viking. You think the Viking? Okay, yes, I like it.

669
00:43:13,726 --> 00:43:17,646
Speaker 1: I agree, Listen, is that the Pockers they are winning? Okay,

670
00:43:17,886 --> 00:43:22,006
Speaker 1: but you see the how would they won? That's right,

671
00:43:22,126 --> 00:43:25,606
Speaker 1: it's something right, right, yeah, it because two will make

672
00:43:25,606 --> 00:43:29,646
Speaker 1: it the correct it's well for troofing goals for mistake.

673
00:43:30,006 --> 00:43:32,966
Speaker 1: So you think the Dolphins lost that game, not so

674
00:43:33,126 --> 00:43:35,366
Speaker 1: much that the I mean, obviously both takes are true,

675
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:37,926
Speaker 1: but it was a bigger Dolphins loss than a Packers win.

676
00:43:38,126 --> 00:43:45,886
Speaker 1: Huh mmmmmmmmm that one. But okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna

677
00:43:45,886 --> 00:43:49,486
Speaker 1: go with Poppy. I agree. So yeah, yeah, I mean

678
00:43:50,126 --> 00:43:52,446
Speaker 1: on my work this week because now I can. It'll

679
00:43:52,446 --> 00:43:56,166
Speaker 1: be a close one. Let's do one more game, dad,

680
00:43:56,326 --> 00:44:00,366
Speaker 1: Dolphins Patriots. Dolphins have to win. But now two wasn't

681
00:44:00,366 --> 00:44:05,446
Speaker 1: concussion product exactly? M m in the game, isn't lead right?

682
00:44:05,606 --> 00:44:11,326
Speaker 1: M M? Yeah, I say it's a Boston yeah, and

683
00:44:11,486 --> 00:44:14,406
Speaker 1: two us the word to play. No, I doubt it,

684
00:44:14,686 --> 00:44:16,846
Speaker 1: there's no way. Yeah, yeah, it's highly doubtful. It's no

685
00:44:16,966 --> 00:44:24,406
Speaker 1: way on the weather, and it's called Bridgewater is going

686
00:44:24,486 --> 00:44:28,286
Speaker 1: to be likely the starter floor. Then I see the offense,

687
00:44:28,686 --> 00:44:33,886
Speaker 1: I see the Patriot field. Suppose I know you're not wrong.

688
00:44:34,006 --> 00:44:36,406
Speaker 1: It's probably is how it's gonna go this It's it's

689
00:44:36,566 --> 00:44:41,726
Speaker 1: it's tough, it's tough to the Patriots are favored two

690
00:44:41,766 --> 00:44:46,166
Speaker 1: and a half. Thought on Mac Jones's confiance, saying Mac

691
00:44:46,246 --> 00:44:50,886
Speaker 1: Jones no, but two us no word game. So it's

692
00:44:50,926 --> 00:44:54,966
Speaker 1: more so about about the Dolphins offense. Mac Jones dad,

693
00:44:55,046 --> 00:44:59,606
Speaker 1: You know, I met Mac Jones's dad, Mac Jones's Papa Jones. No. Yeah,

694
00:45:00,286 --> 00:45:02,886
Speaker 1: he's tall like you. He's a big dude, very funny.

695
00:45:03,086 --> 00:45:06,086
Speaker 1: He was really really nice. But still I hope the

696
00:45:06,166 --> 00:45:11,206
Speaker 1: Dolphins were I hope the Dolphins win. Was there any

697
00:45:11,246 --> 00:45:13,406
Speaker 1: other game you had on your use by with your

698
00:45:13,446 --> 00:45:21,166
Speaker 1: little eye will um, Yeah, that's that's a wrap. SAT

699
00:45:21,246 --> 00:45:29,766
Speaker 1: Eagles is interesting. Panthers Bucks, NFC South, Well, yeah, who

700
00:45:29,926 --> 00:45:34,806
Speaker 1: wins that? Do we think the Panthers can pull it off?

701
00:45:35,086 --> 00:45:38,246
Speaker 1: If they win out, they make it into the playoffs,

702
00:45:38,486 --> 00:45:41,566
Speaker 1: and they make the playoffs and they would be hosting

703
00:45:41,686 --> 00:45:47,646
Speaker 1: a playoff game. So are we are we to assume

704
00:45:47,766 --> 00:45:50,326
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady can do this all himself? Because I

705
00:45:50,446 --> 00:45:54,646
Speaker 1: just feel like Tampa Bay is just getting by. I

706
00:45:54,766 --> 00:45:58,686
Speaker 1: don't feel like they're this incredible juggernaut. They just have felt,

707
00:45:59,246 --> 00:46:04,646
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes slow, sometimes old, sometimes just not on

708
00:46:04,726 --> 00:46:11,606
Speaker 1: the same page as we see with Brady. You're going

709
00:46:11,686 --> 00:46:22,686
Speaker 1: for you, Brady, see but when Yeah, he's not great

710
00:46:22,726 --> 00:46:32,446
Speaker 1: under pressure. We know that, you know exactly. Yeah, you

711
00:46:32,566 --> 00:46:39,446
Speaker 1: do my home a knowledge, Gordon, don't be in the

712
00:46:39,566 --> 00:46:54,606
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, that's true. Better. No, it's baby, you know

713
00:46:54,846 --> 00:47:02,686
Speaker 1: I I it's the girl. Okay, okay, it's gonna show you. Listen.

714
00:47:02,726 --> 00:47:06,766
Speaker 1: I'm still learning Spanish the correct way through all these years. Well, no,

715
00:47:07,686 --> 00:47:10,126
Speaker 1: me too, because people always say to me you already

716
00:47:10,166 --> 00:47:12,326
Speaker 1: know that because you speaks Spanish. No no, no, no,

717
00:47:12,646 --> 00:47:15,646
Speaker 1: we took English in school, right, and we're still learning

718
00:47:16,086 --> 00:47:19,286
Speaker 1: as we read different things and trying to get smarter,

719
00:47:19,726 --> 00:47:24,206
Speaker 1: especially sports vernacular in Spanish. Yeah, it's a whole. It's

720
00:47:24,206 --> 00:47:27,406
Speaker 1: a third language. It is. It's like like quarterback is

721
00:47:27,766 --> 00:47:34,286
Speaker 1: Mari Campo? Right? But a quarterback? Quarterback? Yeah? Yeah, I

722
00:47:34,366 --> 00:47:39,606
Speaker 1: mean I'm trying to think. I mean, is that you know?

723
00:47:39,806 --> 00:47:51,686
Speaker 1: Is it the tight end there? It's like yeah, yeah, no, receivers,

724
00:47:51,846 --> 00:47:55,646
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot. Yeah. Most people, especially in

725
00:47:55,766 --> 00:48:03,726
Speaker 1: Latin America, UM, they understand like the English the English words, yeah, yeah, okay,

Speaker 1: I know this has been a long season for you. Um,

740
00:49:20,286 --> 00:49:23,726
Speaker 1: how are you doing. I had a coach in high school,

741
00:49:24,086 --> 00:49:26,726
Speaker 1: a football coach, and his name was Coach Bowers, and

742

Speaker 1: he hated me because but because he said, I know,

743
00:49:30,726 --> 00:49:35,926
Speaker 1: he would say that practice. It's like the harder you practice,

744
00:49:36,006 --> 00:49:38,606
Speaker 1: the less you get hurt. And I think you know

745
00:49:38,646 --> 00:49:40,366

Speaker 1: Bowers used to call practice injuries. You know you you

756
00:50:25,966 --> 00:50:28,486
Speaker 1: you know you got it, you got and so and

757
00:50:28,646 --> 00:50:33,646
Speaker 1: then the light of the whole series was when uh

758
00:50:34,726 --> 00:50:40,926
Speaker 1: the quarterback came in the new one, oh the Bakeryfield Baker,

759
00:50:41,366 --> 00:50:43,726
Speaker 1: and it was like, wow, that was the that was

760
00:50:43,806 --> 00:50:47,286
Speaker 1: the the you know, the piece to resistances. I'm just

761
00:50:47,406 --> 00:50:50,926
Speaker 1: winning that game. Let's go now, you know. And then

762
00:50:50,966 --> 00:50:53,646
Speaker 1: and then so now there's a little hope. But I

763
00:50:53,766 --> 00:50:55,846
Speaker 1: still love the rent. I used to sneak into the

764
00:50:55,966 --> 00:51:00,486
Speaker 1: coliseum in nineteen fifty seven. Oh my god, day. Well

765
00:51:00,526 --> 00:51:03,286
Speaker 1: there was just there was no security. You would just

766
00:51:03,446 --> 00:51:06,286
Speaker 1: like stay in the bathroom. When a family walked by,

767
00:51:06,406 --> 00:51:09,126
Speaker 1: you just jumped in there and with the family and

768
00:51:09,286 --> 00:51:12,646
Speaker 1: everybody was look at that nice white family. They Mexican

769
00:51:12,726 --> 00:51:19,686
Speaker 1: kid walking, I'm a dog, And it was like that's

770
00:51:19,726 --> 00:51:21,526
Speaker 1: the way we got in, you know, and and uh

771
00:51:22,126 --> 00:51:25,366
Speaker 1: we cheered for him all. I've never never lost hope

772
00:51:25,406 --> 00:51:29,126
Speaker 1: for the Rams. I when they left, I just kind

773
00:51:29,206 --> 00:51:32,566
Speaker 1: of worried about the point spread. They weren't really my team,

774
00:51:32,646 --> 00:51:37,686
Speaker 1: but I still loved him. What made you a Rams? Like,

775
00:51:37,806 --> 00:51:40,086
Speaker 1: can you remember the moment when you said this is

776
00:51:40,166 --> 00:51:43,006
Speaker 1: my team? Well? You know what I was, you know,

777
00:51:43,126 --> 00:51:47,326
Speaker 1: born and raised in La and uh, god, I remember

778
00:51:47,406 --> 00:51:51,206
Speaker 1: going to my first Rams game, and I remember my dad. God,

779
00:51:51,246 --> 00:51:53,686
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how old I was,

780
00:51:53,766 --> 00:51:57,206
Speaker 1: but he bought me a Rams helmet, you know. Uh

781
00:51:58,486 --> 00:52:04,166
Speaker 1: but those days it probably ten bucks, but but maybe

782
00:52:04,846 --> 00:52:07,366
Speaker 1: and you know he strength for that. So so I

783
00:52:07,406 --> 00:52:10,166
Speaker 1: think I've just been a Rams fan my whole, even

784
00:52:10,206 --> 00:52:12,686
Speaker 1: when the Raiders were here, I still I still love

785
00:52:12,766 --> 00:52:15,446
Speaker 1: the Rams and and uh, all my friends you're you know,

786
00:52:15,646 --> 00:52:18,766
Speaker 1: wearing the silver and black. You know i'd show up

787
00:52:18,806 --> 00:52:21,326
Speaker 1: in a Rams that. Well. Were you a friend of

788
00:52:21,766 --> 00:52:26,366
Speaker 1: of Vince Ferragamo? More? Were you a fan of Roman Gabriel?

789
00:52:26,806 --> 00:52:31,326
Speaker 1: You know, Merlin Olson, of of Deacon Jones? Like, so,

790
00:52:31,486 --> 00:52:34,326
Speaker 1: who are your favorite guys? I mean, Eric Dickerson, you know,

791
00:52:34,446 --> 00:52:36,846
Speaker 1: have you ever you know there was a guy they

792
00:52:36,926 --> 00:52:39,446
Speaker 1: called the Flying Dutchman. He was amazing to watch him

793
00:52:39,486 --> 00:52:42,926
Speaker 1: come out and just throw that you know, ninety yard

794
00:52:43,126 --> 00:52:46,966
Speaker 1: pass and he was the hell Mary guy because he

795
00:52:47,006 --> 00:52:50,446
Speaker 1: would always shoot that long pass and and uh, you know,

796
00:52:50,526 --> 00:52:52,966
Speaker 1: I love Eric Dickinson. I mean he was like he

797
00:52:53,126 --> 00:52:56,686
Speaker 1: was one of my heroes. And uh, Elroy crazy Legs

798
00:52:56,726 --> 00:53:01,046
Speaker 1: Hurst was he ran like kind of weird, but but

799
00:53:01,206 --> 00:53:03,806
Speaker 1: he made jugdowns, you know, and did guys like and

800
00:53:03,966 --> 00:53:06,246
Speaker 1: merl Olson. I mean he was like the king of you.

801
00:53:07,406 --> 00:53:10,766
Speaker 1: So it's like, like I said, it's like the Rams

802
00:53:10,806 --> 00:53:13,006
Speaker 1: have just been my team and I've always won. I mean,

803
00:53:13,126 --> 00:53:16,486
Speaker 1: I kept bet, I've always uh you know, I've always

804
00:53:17,126 --> 00:53:20,966
Speaker 1: did well with him. You know, last time I spoke

805
00:53:21,046 --> 00:53:23,766
Speaker 1: to you, Danny, it was right before the Super Bowl

806
00:53:23,846 --> 00:53:27,046
Speaker 1: and the Ram Broun contention. So everybody we were asking you,

807

808
00:53:30,446 --> 00:53:33,206
Speaker 1: are not just going, they're winning. And I can see

809
00:53:33,286 --> 00:53:36,566
Speaker 1: the smile on your face when it finally happened you

00:55:23,326 --> 00:55:26,766
Speaker 1: hasn't been around lately. And some of the Rams come in,

841
00:55:26,966 --> 00:55:29,126
Speaker 1: you know, it's like and some of the Lakers. I

842
00:55:29,246 --> 00:55:33,326
Speaker 1: tell all the Lakers, hey, look in the movies, I'm

843
00:55:33,406 --> 00:55:36,166
Speaker 1: six foot five. So you guys got to duck down.

844
00:55:36,606 --> 00:55:42,486
Speaker 1: You know, perception is reality, Danny. But I love that

845
00:55:42,486 --> 00:55:45,166
Speaker 1: you mentioned the restaurant. You have the trailer tackles um

846
00:55:45,846 --> 00:55:48,366
Speaker 1: shirt on. I remember covering the Rams when they were

847
00:55:48,406 --> 00:55:52,046
Speaker 1: still at the coliseum while the so Far was being built,

848
00:55:52,206 --> 00:55:54,366
Speaker 1: And there was one day in particular in the press box.

849
00:55:54,646 --> 00:55:58,006
Speaker 1: U catered the press meal more than one game, it

850
00:55:58,086 --> 00:55:59,806
Speaker 1: was more on one occasion we were like, we were

851
00:55:59,966 --> 00:56:01,606
Speaker 1: Will and I were just talking about this. Sometimes we

852
00:56:01,686 --> 00:56:04,006
Speaker 1: go into the stadium, you don't know what it's gonna be,

853
00:56:04,286 --> 00:56:09,166
Speaker 1: but we saw you and we're like today we were

854
00:56:09,406 --> 00:56:13,486
Speaker 1: any good. Keeps asking me, what what is your secret?

855
00:56:13,486 --> 00:56:16,526
Speaker 1: Because we've been opened up six years seven almost seven years.

856
00:56:16,846 --> 00:56:18,806
Speaker 1: And you know we started with one and just kept

857
00:56:18,846 --> 00:56:22,286
Speaker 1: building and most restaurants in LA closed the first year.

858
00:56:23,086 --> 00:56:24,966
Speaker 1: And then what is your secrets? It's like a big

859
00:56:25,166 --> 00:56:29,246
Speaker 1: it's no secret's good food? You know, I've never heard.

860
00:56:29,286 --> 00:56:31,486
Speaker 1: I wouldn't ask you out on day and say hey, babe,

861
00:56:31,606 --> 00:56:32,926
Speaker 1: I want to go out and I know a place

862
00:56:32,966 --> 00:56:38,006
Speaker 1: where there's really food. It doesn't work that way. Day

863
00:56:39,726 --> 00:56:41,606
Speaker 1: bress you. I take you to the best mood and

864
00:56:41,726 --> 00:56:44,966
Speaker 1: then you know, we eat up. We have like gluten free,

865
00:56:45,086 --> 00:56:50,326
Speaker 1: we have a vegan, we have vegetarian and gluten. I

866
00:56:50,486 --> 00:56:54,526
Speaker 1: work with autistic children and and and the doctors have

867
00:56:54,646 --> 00:56:57,486
Speaker 1: told me that kids with our autism don't do well

868
00:56:57,566 --> 00:57:00,406
Speaker 1: with gluten. So we got a group of tea menu

869
00:57:00,606 --> 00:57:03,766
Speaker 1: and you had like four or five, six and seven

870
00:57:04,126 --> 00:57:09,006
Speaker 1: you see parents, there was special needs children. Because mama

871
00:57:09,086 --> 00:57:12,686
Speaker 1: doesn't have to cook three different meals, you know, as

872
00:57:12,726 --> 00:57:15,006
Speaker 1: can order or whatever. He wan bide into a cal

873
00:57:15,086 --> 00:57:19,926
Speaker 1: if he wants to mama's vegetarian. And we got covered

874
00:57:19,966 --> 00:57:23,526
Speaker 1: all bases. And we did that because of when you

875
00:57:23,646 --> 00:57:27,046
Speaker 1: wrap a show, you evidently a five or six of

876
00:57:27,086 --> 00:57:29,926
Speaker 1: you will go to a restaurant inevitably. Oh well, okay,

877
00:57:29,926 --> 00:57:34,246
Speaker 1: I'll have to sell you know, because so you know,

878
00:57:34,366 --> 00:57:38,326
Speaker 1: come to trail lead at all. I mean, looking at

879
00:57:38,566 --> 00:57:42,566
Speaker 1: what you've done to this point, just as an entrepreneur,

880
00:57:42,646 --> 00:57:45,726
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, Treo's Tacos is doing extremely well. Now

881
00:57:45,806 --> 00:57:49,086
Speaker 1: you've got a record label that you're running as well.

882
00:57:49,886 --> 00:57:53,726
Speaker 1: What would you say now to the younger version of you?

883
00:57:54,046 --> 00:57:57,326
Speaker 1: Because the younger version of you had been through a lot.

884
00:57:57,486 --> 00:58:01,486
Speaker 1: You were incarcerated, and you dealt with cancer. You've had

885
00:58:01,526 --> 00:58:04,486
Speaker 1: to survived so many things. And that's why when you

886
00:58:04,526 --> 00:58:06,286
Speaker 1: first came out, we said we got a little tougher

887
00:58:06,366 --> 00:58:09,766
Speaker 1: because you come across as this really tough guy, especially

888
00:58:09,846 --> 00:58:13,246
Speaker 1: on screen, but you are a teddy bear ready to

889
00:58:13,366 --> 00:58:16,926
Speaker 1: help people out. Would the younger you look at the

890
00:58:17,006 --> 00:58:20,966
Speaker 1: older you and say, man, you're soft? I mean, come on, man,

891
00:58:22,286 --> 00:58:25,806
Speaker 1: you know what I had? Guys that I knew that

892
00:58:25,926 --> 00:58:28,206
Speaker 1: are still in the penitentiary. You know, they're like a

893
00:58:28,366 --> 00:58:32,126
Speaker 1: seventy years old locked up forever. They write to me

894
00:58:32,246 --> 00:58:35,046
Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, you know what we knew you

895
00:58:35,126 --> 00:58:40,606
Speaker 1: were was you know, but that that's with love, you know,

896
00:58:40,726 --> 00:58:46,246
Speaker 1: and uh, you know what I have to you? People said,

897
00:58:46,246 --> 00:58:50,726
Speaker 1: what are you sorry? But I think the good Lord,

898
00:58:51,126 --> 00:58:52,966
Speaker 1: I think I had to go through what I had

899
00:58:53,006 --> 00:58:55,926
Speaker 1: to go through to get where I'm at, because you know,

900
00:58:56,126 --> 00:58:59,686
Speaker 1: like when I talked to kids in schools, I walk

901
00:58:59,766 --> 00:59:03,006
Speaker 1: out on stage, there's it's immediate quiet. And I mean

902
00:59:03,166 --> 00:59:06,246
Speaker 1: some of the worst schools in LA right right, and

903
00:59:07,206 --> 00:59:09,806
Speaker 1: they you know, they're not respecting Danny Treo. They want

904
00:59:09,846 --> 00:59:11,526
Speaker 1: to hear what the guy from conn Air or the

905
00:59:11,566 --> 00:59:14,326
Speaker 1: guy from Eat if you're Mexican, the guy from Blood

906
00:59:14,406 --> 00:59:16,406
Speaker 1: and Blood Out, the guy you know though, that guy.

907
00:59:16,446 --> 00:59:18,126
Speaker 1: They want to hear what those guys have to say.

908
00:59:18,406 --> 00:59:21,966
Speaker 1: And it's like what idea said, education is the key

909
00:59:22,046 --> 00:59:24,846
Speaker 1: to anything you want to do and drugs and alcohol

910
00:59:24,926 --> 00:59:28,486
Speaker 1: will ruin your life. That's my message. And I say

911
00:59:28,566 --> 00:59:32,846
Speaker 1: it from experience, and I think. I mean, I've had

912
00:59:32,886 --> 00:59:34,966
Speaker 1: teachers come up with tears in their eyes and say,

913
00:59:35,206 --> 00:59:37,286
Speaker 1: how do you do it? You know, how do you

914
00:59:37,406 --> 00:59:42,086
Speaker 1: do it? It's like this class never even quiet, you know,

915
00:59:42,326 --> 00:59:44,366
Speaker 1: and they listen. But again it's like I've been in

916
00:59:44,446 --> 00:59:48,366
Speaker 1: their living rooms. I wish more actors would use that platform.

917
00:59:48,566 --> 00:59:50,726
Speaker 1: But then a while, the actors don't have the history.

918
00:59:50,766 --> 00:59:56,406
Speaker 1: I I god, you know, so I don't Yeah, I'll

919
00:59:56,406 --> 00:59:58,006
Speaker 1: say this, Danny, and I'll tell you why. I think

920
00:59:58,046 --> 01:00:02,526
Speaker 1: it's so impactful, because, especially in the Latino community, with

921
01:00:02,766 --> 01:00:07,326
Speaker 1: men specifically, there's this there's this persona or this expectation

922
01:00:07,406 --> 01:00:10,686
Speaker 1: of being macho and what that means, and sometimes it

923
01:00:10,766 --> 01:00:15,326
Speaker 1: can borderline into toxic behavior. So while most people might

924
01:00:15,366 --> 01:00:17,166
Speaker 1: see like, oh, I can't say and all this stuff,

925
01:00:17,206 --> 01:00:20,566
Speaker 1: and yes, that that exists, there's also this other side

926
01:00:20,606 --> 01:00:22,926
Speaker 1: that says, you can be all of these things and

927
01:00:23,006 --> 01:00:25,246
Speaker 1: you can still be a kind person, you can still

928
01:00:25,406 --> 01:00:28,286
Speaker 1: be successful, you can still give back to your community, uh,

929
01:00:28,686 --> 01:00:30,846
Speaker 1: and you can still be a positive influence for other

930
01:00:30,886 --> 01:00:33,166
Speaker 1: people regardless of what you've gone through. And so I

931
01:00:33,246 --> 01:00:35,326
Speaker 1: think that's something that you represent that has made such

932
01:00:35,326 --> 01:00:39,366
Speaker 1: an impact generation after generation, especially for the Latino community.

933
01:00:39,406 --> 01:00:42,126
Speaker 1: That what you just said. When I was writing my book,

934
01:00:42,206 --> 01:00:45,246
Speaker 1: Don Low, one of my best friends who helped me

935
01:00:45,326 --> 01:00:51,806
Speaker 1: write the book, he said, toxic masculinity. And that's that's

936
01:00:51,966 --> 01:00:54,286
Speaker 1: my whole family head. We didn't know it. We always

937
01:00:54,846 --> 01:00:59,366
Speaker 1: we're just you're tough, you're bad, and and everybody in

938
01:00:59,406 --> 01:01:05,406
Speaker 1: the neighborhood feared us. And but but the the manhood

939
01:01:05,566 --> 01:01:08,806
Speaker 1: was was toxic, you know, it was it was ended

940
01:01:09,206 --> 01:01:12,126
Speaker 1: and it came out it is toxic. And uh, I mean,

941
01:01:13,366 --> 01:01:15,766
Speaker 1: and I sound like a little woose, but I've never

942
01:01:15,886 --> 01:01:18,086
Speaker 1: heard you. When I was growing out, I never my

943
01:01:18,206 --> 01:01:21,046
Speaker 1: family talked about I love you or you know, and

944
01:01:21,246 --> 01:01:25,966
Speaker 1: and and and I chose my uncle Gilbert either drug

945
01:01:26,046 --> 01:01:30,846
Speaker 1: addict and arm robbert. And one of the reasons, you know,

946
01:01:30,886 --> 01:01:33,806
Speaker 1: when I would go to my mom and should be

947
01:01:33,886 --> 01:01:36,246
Speaker 1: on the phone, I go, Mom, Mom's gonna speak quiet

948
01:01:36,366 --> 01:01:38,206
Speaker 1: on the cold. You see him on the phone, you know.

949
01:01:38,326 --> 01:01:40,846
Speaker 1: And and okay, so and I go to my dad

950
01:01:40,886 --> 01:01:42,806
Speaker 1: and said, Harry, I'm one of them. Could you see

951
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:46,766
Speaker 1: damn it? And then I would go to my uncle Gilbert,

952
01:01:46,766 --> 01:01:49,286
Speaker 1: and Gilbert, yeah, hold on, yeah, what do you want me?

953
01:01:49,886 --> 01:01:52,406
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And that just that just

954
01:01:52,646 --> 01:01:56,246
Speaker 1: that time. It's like one of the things I when

955
01:01:56,286 --> 01:01:59,486
Speaker 1: I talked to parents, time you gotta give him time.

956
01:01:59,886 --> 01:02:02,806
Speaker 1: And it's like, I think the only one that really

957
01:02:02,886 --> 01:02:06,246
Speaker 1: had time for me was my uncle Gilbert. Maybe because

958
01:02:06,286 --> 01:02:09,126
Speaker 1: he didn't work, maybe because he didn't you know, maybe

959
01:02:09,206 --> 01:02:11,766
Speaker 1: because he was a drug addicant an arm robber. But

960
01:02:12,206 --> 01:02:17,126
Speaker 1: but still that's what I needed. So when I go

961
01:02:17,366 --> 01:02:20,526
Speaker 1: to a classroom, I've been to grammar schools and ended

962
01:02:20,566 --> 01:02:24,606
Speaker 1: up sponsoring kids that say, hey, my dad's prisoning. Hey,

963
01:02:24,646 --> 01:02:27,966
Speaker 1: we'll call me, you know. And I called from you, Hey,

964
01:02:28,046 --> 01:02:31,286
Speaker 1: didn't are you doing in school? Good? Good? Good? It's

965
01:02:31,366 --> 01:02:33,686
Speaker 1: just the time, that's it, you know what. And it

966
01:02:33,846 --> 01:02:36,246
Speaker 1: was told to me a busy man has time to

967
01:02:36,326 --> 01:02:39,726
Speaker 1: do everything. And I like that. I got time to

968
01:02:39,806 --> 01:02:43,326
Speaker 1: do everything, you know. And you've done a lot of things,

969
01:02:43,686 --> 01:02:46,846
Speaker 1: and for me, one of those things is heat. And

970
01:02:47,046 --> 01:02:51,726
Speaker 1: you have said before, You've said this before that that

971
01:02:52,246 --> 01:02:57,406
Speaker 1: movie was a career changer, and that scene with de Niro,

972
01:02:57,846 --> 01:03:01,926
Speaker 1: the death scene in particular, was one that really puts

973
01:03:01,966 --> 01:03:04,686
Speaker 1: you on the map. So rather than asking you about

974
01:03:05,086 --> 01:03:07,526
Speaker 1: what's it like to work with de Niro, what's it

975
01:03:07,726 --> 01:03:10,326
Speaker 1: like to do that? I thought that you and I

976
01:03:10,926 --> 01:03:15,126
Speaker 1: could recreate it, Danny. I will play I will play

977
01:03:15,486 --> 01:03:18,926
Speaker 1: Neil McCauley, and you will play Trey Hoo. All right, Danny,

978
01:03:19,006 --> 01:03:20,726
Speaker 1: So here you go. So I'm gonna I'm gonna try

979
01:03:20,806 --> 01:03:23,606
Speaker 1: to do my best Robert de Nira for you. Right,

980
01:03:23,686 --> 01:03:27,806
Speaker 1: So you got okay, you tell us when to action? Here?

981
01:03:28,206 --> 01:03:34,366
Speaker 1: Yeah and action? Why did you do it? What happened? Yeah?

982
01:03:35,126 --> 01:03:39,086
Speaker 1: They kill by Anna she's dead. So it's the guy

983
01:03:39,126 --> 01:03:47,406
Speaker 1: who stood in for you. What wing grow when grow? Yeah?

01:04:02,926 --> 01:04:04,726
Speaker 1: Did you say anything about how we're gonna get out?

987
01:04:06,086 --> 01:04:12,846
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Come on, come on, my aunt is dead.

988
01:04:14,846 --> 01:04:18,646
Speaker 1: A call the medic. No, I'm not gonna make it.

989
01:04:19,806 --> 01:04:23,086
Speaker 1: Don't leave me like this, Holmes, don't leave me like this.

990
01:04:24,806 --> 01:04:35,806
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, counts. When I said Holmes in that movie,

1003
01:05:27,046 --> 01:05:31,406
Speaker 1: m J. This has been a pack show, a fun show,

1004
01:05:32,286 --> 01:05:37,006
Speaker 1: and we had Danny, Trail and your dad on the

1005
01:05:37,126 --> 01:05:39,726
Speaker 1: same podcast. We need, I mean, we need to gather

1006
01:05:39,726 --> 01:05:42,006
Speaker 1: them together, side by side, the two of them. Yes,

1007
01:05:42,326 --> 01:05:45,166
Speaker 1: like that would be cold. Yeah, let's go to Trail's time.

1008
01:05:45,246 --> 01:05:48,806
Speaker 1: We have let's we have to rest. That's the rest

1009
01:05:48,846 --> 01:05:50,606
Speaker 1: of the itinerary. While my parents are here, We're going

1010
01:05:50,646 --> 01:05:54,166
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, I have needed some more. I happened

1011
01:05:54,166 --> 01:05:57,846
Speaker 1: to he's got some time. He has some time now

1012
01:05:58,206 --> 01:06:02,206
Speaker 1: so he could do it. Um. So we always finished

1013
01:06:02,246 --> 01:06:07,686
Speaker 1: with bun for me. My bunto is JJ Watt retiring

1014
01:06:07,966 --> 01:06:14,566
Speaker 1: after twelve seasons, seven all Pro selections, three time Defensive

1015
01:06:14,686 --> 01:06:18,606
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. This was an announcement that caught

1016
01:06:18,686 --> 01:06:21,646
Speaker 1: us a little bit off card off guard. Rather, it

1017
01:06:21,846 --> 01:06:25,326
Speaker 1: caught the Cardinals off guard because Cliff Kingsbury said, yeah,

1018
01:06:25,326 --> 01:06:28,246
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that this was happening, but clearly

1019
01:06:28,806 --> 01:06:31,766
Speaker 1: JJ Watt had been thinking about this for a while.

1020
01:06:31,846 --> 01:06:35,326
Speaker 1: He said, as much. My quick experience with JJ Watt,

1021
01:06:35,366 --> 01:06:37,846
Speaker 1: I remember going down to Houston and covering his charity

1022
01:06:38,166 --> 01:06:41,326
Speaker 1: softball game at Minute May Park. There were thirty thousand

1023
01:06:42,006 --> 01:06:48,806
Speaker 1: there and yes for this charity song and former First

1024
01:06:48,926 --> 01:06:53,886
Speaker 1: Lady Barbara Bush, she was in attendant, and this was

1025
01:06:54,246 --> 01:06:58,806
Speaker 1: a fun time, fun night. I remember interviewing him beforehand.

1026
01:06:59,166 --> 01:07:01,526
Speaker 1: Gave him a softball that had the photo of every

1027
01:07:01,606 --> 01:07:05,246
Speaker 1: quarterback in the division and that out laugh and he

1028
01:07:05,286 --> 01:07:08,406
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. And then I said, Okay, well,

1029
01:07:08,886 --> 01:07:12,726
Speaker 1: now let's let's talk some Spanish because I also did

1030
01:07:13,166 --> 01:07:19,166
Speaker 1: this piece in Spanish, and so I taught him some Spanish, told, hey,

1031
01:07:19,206 --> 01:07:21,526
Speaker 1: what do you think about saying this? He says? He said.

1032
01:07:21,566 --> 01:07:24,646
Speaker 1: Initially he's like, I don't know much Spanish. He says, like, dude,

1033
01:07:25,966 --> 01:07:29,366
Speaker 1: I remember him saying, right, perfect, nailed it. Yeah. But

1034
01:07:29,846 --> 01:07:33,526
Speaker 1: then I had him read one of his tweets or

1035
01:07:34,046 --> 01:07:36,086
Speaker 1: taught him how to say it in Spanish, and he

1036
01:07:36,246 --> 01:07:39,406
Speaker 1: was terrific, just like Kittle. You know those guys there,

1037
01:07:39,886 --> 01:07:41,686
Speaker 1: they want to they want to speak Spanish. There's a

1038
01:07:41,726 --> 01:07:48,526
Speaker 1: lot of people who say, hey, Dimon and JJ Watt

1039
01:07:48,726 --> 01:07:52,006
Speaker 1: was one of those people. So it's been fun watching them,

1040
01:07:52,566 --> 01:07:56,086
Speaker 1: and I hope he enjoys the next chapter of his career.

1041
01:07:56,166 --> 01:08:00,366
Speaker 1: So that is my e bundo. I love that low

1042
01:08:00,446 --> 01:08:05,326
Speaker 1: key it's his right, Yeah it is, Yeah, it was

1043
01:08:05,366 --> 01:08:07,446
Speaker 1: really nice to see him on the sideline before that

1044
01:08:07,606 --> 01:08:09,606
Speaker 1: last game with his son and his wife out there.

1045
01:08:09,646 --> 01:08:11,606
Speaker 1: It's a new chapter for him, right. I'm really happy

1046
01:08:11,646 --> 01:08:13,766
Speaker 1: for him as well, and all that he's done, not

1047
01:08:13,886 --> 01:08:16,246
Speaker 1: just on the field, but off of it as well

1048
01:08:16,366 --> 01:08:19,086
Speaker 1: for the NFL has been tremendous to watch. I love it.

1049
01:08:19,766 --> 01:08:23,326
Speaker 1: I think my epondo is almost the opposite of an

1050
01:08:23,366 --> 01:08:25,446
Speaker 1: Epunso we're just getting started right at the end of

1051
01:08:25,486 --> 01:08:28,086
Speaker 1: the year. So many people are on vacation all of this,

1052
01:08:28,206 --> 01:08:30,726
Speaker 1: and meantime we're running with our hair on fire all

1053
01:08:30,766 --> 01:08:33,926
Speaker 1: throughout the UNIFL stetwork because there's so much to do

1054
01:08:34,806 --> 01:08:37,926
Speaker 1: and things only ramp up for us from here to

1055
01:08:38,046 --> 01:08:42,646
