1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: He's just an enigma man like um the you can

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: never really tell With Joe. He's, as I put it,

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: he's Baldinger's cat because he's both elite and he's not elite,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: and oftentimes at the same time, the road map is

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: after if you want your team to be truly elite,

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: you move it to Baltimore. I think it went really well.

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: It was a great opportunity for me to talk about

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: Joe Flacker, which I don't get to do nearly enough.

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:46,200

00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: further ado p FT commenter, we were really happy to

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: be here, and we gotta start talking first about Joe Flacco.

53
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw this. He's been named the most

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: attractive player in the NFL. You saw that, right, I

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: did see that list. Yeah, did you guys read that list? Yeah.

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of coaches sons on that one.

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: A lot of uh yeah, that's it's the genetics from

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: my guests, being the son of a coach that makes

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: you really good looking. I was looking through the list. Um,

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: let's see, we got Jason Witten on there by the way.

61
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: Jason Witten kind of a mongoloid, no offense. I don't

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: know if I can say the end. There are actually

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on that list that I don't

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: personally think or would would be considered that attractive. But

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: you know what, Joe Flacco at the top, have to

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: argue that Matt Barkley, what a great looking guy. That

67
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: is um great company to be keeping there at number two. So, um,

68
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: so how many times did you vote for Flacco? I

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: didn't even know this was going on. I don't know

70
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: what what's the methodology? What are these poles here? Is

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: there some I think it's highly scientific because you guys

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: are probably like a lot of saber metrics I think

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: went into this thing. I'm looking at the at the

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: listing share a lot of these, A lot of these

75
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: guys come from blue cities, blue counties. Might be a

76
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: little thing on scale action, some fake news going on.

77
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: So if you're if you're going one to ten on

78
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, what are you giving him? Uh m hm.

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: You know, the new haircuts looking pretty good, so that's

80
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: worth a couple of points here. Um, it's here's what

81
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: it is. If you ask me in January, I give

82
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: him a ten. If you ask me in like early October,

83
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: I'd probably give him a two changes. Well, he's kind

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: of gone through the evolution, you know, like when he

85
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: first started his career, you know, two thousand and eight,

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: he didn't quite look like it's kind of had the

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: unibrow thing going. What's the next step for him and

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: his whole fashion development here? I actually like the unibrow.

89
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: If you've got two eyebrows, you don't have one. So

90
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: I'm going to respect the uh the forehead hair on

91
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: that one. I just think that, like Joe, it depends

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: on if you're dealing with with early season Joe or

93
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: if you're dealing with playoff Joe, Because playoff Joe that

94
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: guy that that's a smoke show. He just gets all

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: kinds of sexy in the flower. We now we know

96
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the secret secret sauce. Has Joe got anybody pregnant recently?

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: Like it seems like he's having a at every off season.

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I think I have another one on

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: the way. I think he's got one on the way

100
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: very soon. He's up to three and I think they're

101
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: about to have four. Yeah, you need to watch out.

102
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: He's like, it's one thing to try to be like

103
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers off the field, but if that starts creeping

104
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: onto the field, then you know that you're not gonna

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: have any more success in the playoffs. It's Valentine's Day

106
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: as a recording this, so baby number five might be

107
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: on the way for Joe Flacco, wouldn't shock me. So

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: how did how did you we gotta get to the

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the whole Flacco elite thing with you? Just

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: how did your your fascination or should we call it

111
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: obsession with Joe Flacco really begin? How much time do

112
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: we have? That's that's a question that I don't know

113
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: can be addressed, Like in one calendar day, He's enigma.

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: I think it was Chris Hayes that little uh, that

115
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: guy in MSNBC. He said to me one time that

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: the question of Joe Flacco's eliteness is a tall mutic question.

117
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but it sounds really

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: important and kind of religious. So go with that explanation

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: for it. But he's, uh, he's just an enigma man,

120
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Like um, the you can never really tell with Joe. He's,

121
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: as I put it, he's Baldinger's cat because he's both

122
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: elite and he's not elite, and oftentimes at the same time,

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: he's both t He'll do the thing where he comes

124
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: out for the first three quarters he'll throw for like

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: negative five yards somehow, and then in the fourth quarter

126
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: he'll throw for two fifty and three touchdowns and they'll win. So, Um, Joe,

127
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: it's just a great It's a great sports debate, and

128
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: it's not one that I think I'll ever get tired of.

129
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Um Florio over at Pro Football Talk, he asked me today,

130
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: he said, can we just bury this debate? And I said, no,

131
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: We're just getting started. If Matt Ryan, then I think

132
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: maybe we could shift the elite talk over to him. Um,

133
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: But since he didn't win, I think it stays with

134
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: Joe and Um, he always gives you a couple of

135
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: reasons every game to believe that he's elite. So do

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you think that that Flacco held the edge over Matt

137
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Ryan in the whole debate thing. It's not really a

138
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: debate because Flacco's got the ring and Matt Ryan doesn't

139
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: have one yet. Yeah, I'll put it this way, Joe

140
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: Flacco never blew lead in the Super Bowl. Well, now,

141
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: now the debate is really you know, who's the best

142
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: quarterback of all time? You know, and everybody's of course

143
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: saying Brady right now, Brady, Brady, Brady, But I mean

144
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: Brady and Flacco. That's a debate worth having. Probably I agree.

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I agree with that, And I like how you put

146
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: the best of all time the boat, not the goat.

147
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: You know, it takes other elements to to steer. A

148
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: boat takes like the the ocean, it takes the wind,

149
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: it takes the tides. Um a goat is like saying, okay,

150
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: go do on yourself and go eat whatever garbage is

151
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: put in front of you. But if you're a boat,

152
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: that takes into account the teammates around you. And I

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: think that Flacco um Flacco has too fewer Super Bowl

154
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: losses than Tom Brady, So I think you have to

155
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: count that. That's right. You gotta count the winds and

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: the losses. That has to go in the debate. Yeah,

157
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: everyone knows this is about Michael Jordan Andeo Flacco in

158
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: the same stance. Neither of them have ever lost the

159
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: championship game. Flacco never lost the Super Bowl, Michael Jordan

160
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: never lost an NBA finals. So transcendent upon sports here

161
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: Joe now answering greatest athlete of all time? Face. So, PFC,

162
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: you you rocked the Flacco Elite shirt recently when you

163
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and Big Hat went on Sports Center with s v P.

164
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that that kind of helps solidify his

165
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: spot among the elite quarterback Yeah. Finally getting Joe some

166
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: FaceTime on ESPN. Um, you're welcome for that. By the way,

167
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: definitely helped raise his raises profile, especially in the off

168
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: season when nobody's really talking about Joe Flacco that much.

169
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, getting him in front of the camera

170
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: was really good job on my part. Um. So, I

171
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: actually I tried to send Joe some of those shirts

172
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: last year, and I guess they said that they already

173
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: had enough down there. Um, why here, let me let

174
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: me turn the tables from you. Let me ask you

175
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: a question. How come Joe hasn't come on my podcast yet?

176
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: That's a great question. You know, it's funny we got

177
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: we got Joe on this podcast. But here's the thing.

178
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: So we see Joe every day and Ryan I have

179
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: both been here for five plus years seeing Joe every

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: single day, and we probably had a pressure Joe for

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: about six months to get him to do this podcast. So,

182
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: but he hates us some way more than he probably

183
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: hates PFD, he loves pf D. I imagine, can you

184
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: is that confirmed? Can I take that quote that Joe

185
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: Flacco loves PFT commentary? I would say you could quote

186
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: me on that, that's on the record. Yeah, I'll take that.

187
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: I'll run with it and get it tattooed on my ankle.

188
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that if you just gave Joe a

189
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: phone one day and said, here, talked to the person

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: on this end, and like he didn't know that it

191
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: was a podcast, I could just like talk to him

192
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: for fifteen minutes and record it. That's a good idea.

193
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: That's another way to do it. You know, the best

194
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: way to try to get these guys to do things

195
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: is to not tell them what they're doing and signed

196
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: enough for so just hand him a phone and then

197
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's talking to you on the end.

198
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: He doesn't realize that. I think you're really getting somewhere. Basically,

199
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: that's how we do all of our journalism. It's bamboozling teams.

200
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: They love that exactly. Well, we try to get Joe

201
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: to wear the shirt. You know, Pitta was had it

202
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: one day and he was telling Joe that you should

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: wear this after a game and we asked Joe, we

204
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: talked to him, would you ever wear it? And his

205
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: answer was basically, he didn't say no, he shut the door.

206
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: He said it's probably not gonna happen. So the thing

207
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: here we got a brainstorm is how we get him

208
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: to wear that shirt after a good game. Mhm, I

209
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: think you just hanging up in his locker. Joe strikes

210
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: me as a kind of guy that that plays what's

211
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: in front of him. So if it's the only shirt

212
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: that he has in his locker, he's just gonna put

213
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: it on, not really pay attention to it. It's a

214
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: good call. Just ready the locker. No, I mean it

215
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: works for whoever still telling Brady's jersey that. Yeah, that's

216
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: a great point. And that's another you know, I'm calling

217
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: false flag on that one. I feel like Brady is

218
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: a guy that needs to keep his name in the news.

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: I think it was Brady's just trying to be like, hey,

220
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm hey, I'm a victim. Guys, Hey, I'll pay attention

221
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: to me, and we I gotta ask you about the

222
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Patriots too, So we all know your boys like Rappaport, Breer,

223
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: you know these guys love the Patriots. We obviously do

224
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: not love the Patriots. So are you signing with them

225
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: or you signed with US? Ravens all the way, it's

226
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: not even a question. Nice people forget that the Ravens

227
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: were like a field goal and um, a drop pass

228
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: away from making the Super Bowl again a couple of

229
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: years ago. People don't talk about that enough. Patriots, like

230
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: I said, they're kind of choke artists in the super Bowl.

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: If you do the math and you see that they've

232
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: lost two of them the Ravens last time I checked

233
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: two and own super Bowls, right, guys, Yeah, So, um,

234
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: the road map is after if you want your team

235
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: to be truly elite, you move it to Baltimore. So um,

236
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that the Patriots are really in the

237
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: same class as the Ravens about anything. So so, your guys,

238
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: podcast Pardon My Take, is uh the most popular sports

239
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: podcast out there. You know, a little shout out to

240
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: you guys, a little pub Um. So here's our question

241
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: podcast you need to pump from our daily podcast, our

242
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: gifts from us to you. You're welcome for that. So

243
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: how do we get the lounge this podcast to take

244
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: over part of my take or at least compete with it. M.

245
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: I've got some advice I don't think I can say

246
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, make up stories. That's that works for

247
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: us a lot. Um get into here. Here's what you do,

248
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: get into radio awards. We kind of already started this

249
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: a little bit with the Steelers. Um, but you need

250
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: to start talking trash about the Steelers and then send

251
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: it to their podcast people. That's a good idea. Well,

252
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll give you thirty seconds to

253
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: bash the Steelers podcast and then we'll see ready to go. Oh,

254
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: I'll say this, the Steelers podcast is what behind the

255
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: steel curtain or that's like their blog or something like that.

256
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: And that seems like a Russher reference to me. That's

257
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: getting podical, getting political. M. Yeah, exactly. So you know

258
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: what the beautiful thing about this is that neither you

259
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: nor down and can spell, and Dowling says grammar's overrated

260
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: these days. Yeah, I want your help in this one.

261
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that grammar really matters these days, agree

262
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: or not? Like when it was the last time that

263
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: you actually read something. Nobody reads stuff anymore. If it

264
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: can it fit into an Instagram story or like a snapchat.

265
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: It's not even really news. I'm just saying it all along.

266
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad I finally have someone to back up my

267
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: point here. Yeah, humans are visual people, right, You didn't

268
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: have I'll put it this way, when we were out

269
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: killing animals and stuff as caveman, you didn't have people

270
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: writing on the walls. You have people like drawing pictures

271
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: of naked cave women and like the cool deer that

272
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: they just killed. So like, actually, we are more prone

273
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: to the visual arts, um, than than we are to

274
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: actually like sitting down and reading something. Totally agree with you.

275
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: So here's you know, going back to getting Joe to

276
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: talk to you. If you could, if you had Joe

277
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: on part of my take and you could ask him

278
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: one question, what would that question be? M hmm. I

279
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: mean you really put me on the spot here. I

280
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: as much as I want to go and ask him

281
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: about the E word, I think that that's probably better

282
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: left on said, keep a little mystery to it. Um.

283
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: So I probably want to know if his younger brother

284
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: was elite, so I might want to know about that.

285
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: I um hm also might want to know why he

286
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: uh doesn't just throw the ball deep on every single

287
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: pass and let his passenger farms because that's that's Joe's forte.

288
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: And I feel like if he just threw the balls

289
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: like forty yards up in the air every time, um,

290
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: they would just get a p I called. You're saying,

291
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: just like a moon shot. Yeah, like fived you remember

292
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, So if Joe, if the Ravens offense

293
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: switched over and um instead of doing this like special

294
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: team stuff that Hardball brought in just like hair male

295
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: passes every single play, I feel like they would gain

296
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: an average of forty five yards of passed a strategy.

297
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to take that one down

298
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the hall and throw that to Marty morning Wig and

299
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: coach Hardball to see what they think about that idea.

300
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: You think you're really onto something. Also, I'd want to

301
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: I'd want to ask him, um, how weird it was

302
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: playing for a French or Canadian coach and Mark Tressman

303
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: he's French Canadian, right, Yeah, he always spoke French. It

304
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: was really weird. He Yeah, that's what I heard. He

305
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: was nice. Well, thank you so much, p f T.

306
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: My last question our exit interview here is, uh, you know,

307
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: how do you think the interview went and how many

308
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: dumb questions to Downing ask you? Um, you know, I

309
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: think Downing, Well, it's tough to say because if every

310
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: question is dumb, then none of them seem dumb. So

311
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: I think I think it went really well. It was

312
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for me to talk about Joe Flacker,

313
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: which I don't get to do nearly enough. So I

314
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: want to thank you guys for giving me the forum

315
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: and uh, feel free to start radio awards with other teams.

316
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Prank called the Steelers guys to do that prank call.

317
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: That's idea nice. All right, Well, p f T, thank

322
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: So that was b f T commenter and he's one

323
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: of a kind. There are many people in the media

324
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: landscape they're like that guy. No, yeah, we wouldn't be

325
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: able to get away with half of the things that

326
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: guy says. And I will say that there was probably

327
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: one or two things that were edited out of that podcast. Yeah,

328
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: the unedited version will never see the later day. Yes,

329
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: there are definitely things that could have caught the attention

330
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: of some people in the wrong way. So appreciate the

331
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: time for PFT commenter and uh. Also, by the way,

332
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: if you hear a banging, consistent banging in the background,

333
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: that's because the lounges. We're in a temporary lounge right now.

334
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: The original lounge is no more. The construction zone in

335
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: here is pretty there might a wrecking ball could come

336
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: through at any time right now. Take us out. It's

337
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: non stop around you. So I might go insane. I

338
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: might literally go insane from the concert that you're not already. Yes,

339
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I see that, but I'm close, all right. So after

340
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: doing the interview, PFD comment or now, we have to

341
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: get to something that we've all been waiting for for

342
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: a very long time. A lot of listeners have been

343
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: waiting for this, the long standing contest that we've been holding.

344
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: If you have, if you forgot, rat Boy came on

345
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the podcast early on last year, like October or something

346
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: something like that, and he was a fan favorite. He

347
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: was really people really responded well to him. We got

348
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: a lot of emails about rap Boy. Yes, the problem

349
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: is that you know, the rat Boy didn't like being

350
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: called rat Boy, especially around the office and especially by

351
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: his bosses. So anyway, so he said, I'm not coming

352
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: back on He basically held us ransom instead, I'm not

353
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: coming back on the podcast unless I get a new nickname.

354
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: So we launched the contest. We put it in the

355
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: the fans of you, the fans to give him to

356
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: come up with suggestions at least for a new nickname.

357
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: And today, right now we welcome back on Cody Williams

358
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: and Cody, we're gonna read you the list of nicknames

359
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,000

00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: was my suggestion, and just that would be better than

366
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: the list of options I have to choose. It's not

Speaker 1: Let me explain it though, Brote, Brot Brote. It still

394
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: contains his original rat Boy name, but it's changed around

395
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: this letters. Yeah, you mix it up this way, he

396
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: stays rat boy, but the order of things changes, Brote.

410
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: here real quick. I'm not a fan of brote as

411
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: I mentioned you're not. I thought you like that one.

412
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Not so good. Magnificent Code just sounds weird. Squirrel Masters,

413
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: two random geeks their No King Cody is a good one.

414
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm shocked The common Man, both from the same same guy.

415
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Neil from Portland submitted two of the better choices here.

416
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: I like Kramer because I'm a Seinfeld guy, like Splinter

417
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: because I'm a Ninja Turtles guy. But I think I

418
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: will go with the with the common Man dark Horse

419
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: as it uh, it kind of fits. That fits the

420
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: bill here, and some of these other ones are just

421
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: too terrible to choose. So The common Man, Common Man,

422
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Neil from Portland, Good job, all right, job Neil, al right,

429
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a fitting that we picked that

430
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: name on the day that we had PFD comments ter

431
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: because Barstool Sports is kind of the common man sports website. Well,

432
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: and they all have great nicknames. It's just moments are

433
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: big cat elpri Press, so you could be next in line.

434
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Those guys are hilarious, but they are really really fans

435
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: of bar Stool, So you have you have a lot

436
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 1: to live up to with this nickname thing. All right,

437
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: So we've debated this a hundred times, Ravens on the clock,

438
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: And actually, I don't want to say who you think

439
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick. You're guy you love him, I don't

440
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: love him so much. But the guy that you love

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: in the draft is Jabriel Peppers, Michigan safety. I like

442
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: him at sixteen seventeen? What do we pick? What like

443
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: him my sixteen? Yeah? But you think he's gonna be

444
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: really good? I do. You saw him in action this

445
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: year in Michigan Michigan State play. He thought he was legit. Yeah,

446
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: so I'm live. He seemed like he made every play,

447
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: played like six different positions all over the field, tackling, attorney, kicks,

448
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: running back, receiver. Guys, just an athlete could do it all.

449
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: So here's my thing on Jabrill Peppers because Keiper had

450
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: him initially mocks to us. He's changed that and hasn't

451
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: been going a little bit later. The guys that are

452
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: the multiple position guys scare me off. If you're not

453
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: like a certain you're not If he's not fast and

454
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: have to be a corner, he's not big enough necessarily

455
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: to be a linebacker. He's also not fast enough to

456
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: be a safety. He's obviously not gonna play running back

457
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: in the NFL, So like maybe he's just like a

458
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: B player at all those positions in college. Does that

459
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: mean he's going to be good at any of them

460
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's what I'm working. He's gonna be an

461
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: a player at any of them. But you mean, here's

462
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: the thing. You know, sometimes we get a little too

463
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: cute with our scouting. And what I think is and

464
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean the Ravens get too cute. I just

465
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: mean people in general get too cute. What I think

466
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: is if a guy can play ball, he can play ball.

467
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: And I go back to like a basketball analogy where

468
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: you know your best player, regardless off, he's the power forward,

469
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: the point guard, the shooting guard. You have the ball

470
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: in his hands, so you find ways to get the

471
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. And that's what they did for

472
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: Jibril Peppers in Michigan because he was easily the best

473
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: player on the team. And I think when he goes

474
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: to the NFL, obviously he'll solidify into one position. I

475
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: think that position would be like a Landon Collins Cam

476
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: Chancellor in the box. Strong safety can cover a running

477
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: back or tight end out of the backfield. Can we

478
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: just say this? We did pull up as highlights and

479
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: the three of us watched his highlight tape and every

480
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: single play he was making a tackle ten to twelve

481
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: yards down the field. I'm like, this is the guy

482
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: had not a flashy guy, hard nosed, gets the job done.

483
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: Not doesn't make for a great highlight here. You know,

484
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm cut somewhere in the middle on this. I don't

485
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: on the whole, like because I kind of agree with you.

486
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like if they don't have a spot,

487
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: and you like, we kind of saw it with Casey

488
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,719
Speaker 1: this year, right, like they kind of tried to move

489
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: them to inside linebacker and learn that and when you

490
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: can't focus on one spot sometimes I feel like Paul

491
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: Kruger had a similar kind of thing. Sometimes you can't

492
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: really blossom at this level because there's a jump, right,

493
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: and so like if if he kind of gets shifted

494
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: around all that, I think that if you're going to

495
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: draft your roll peppers, you better have an idea where

496
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: you want to play him. Like when you take him,

497
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 1: know where you're gonna put them and let him focus

498
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: on that, right, But there is and I also do

499
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: agree with the argument that sometimes it's like in high school,

500
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: right all, Like pretty much every NFL player played quarterback

501
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: and running back in high school, right just because they're

502
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 1: the best athlete, and if you let them play one position,

503
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: then they will show that they can be elite at

504
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: that position. That kind of situation, you know, I think,

505
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: at the very worst, he's going to be a good

506
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: kick and punt returner as as a young professional. But

507
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: but look at a guy like Steve Smith right comes

508
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: into the league as a but he was like a

509
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: third round pick, I think, yeah, but he came in

510
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, kind of undersized for receiver,

511
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: started his career, really got noticed and made his mark

512
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: returning kicks and punts. That's what he went to the

513
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl for. Is the rookie exactly, which is what

514
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: I think will happen with your bill potentially before we go,

515
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: we actually want to ask you business related question to

516
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: the common man. So you're going to the nerd conference

517
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks at M I T. Yes,

518
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: I am. What is the nerd conference? Again? It is

519
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: the It is the M I T. Sloan Sports and

520
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: Analytics Conference. All right, so what is this? It sounds

521
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: like a nerd conference? What you So this will be

522
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 1: my first time, so I can't tell you everything about

523
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: it yet. I will have a full recap when I

524
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: get back. But um, essentially it's kind of the who's

525
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: who of sports and analytics, and everyone gathers once a year,

526
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: both from the business side and the sports side, to discuss,

527
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, the latest trends, the latest technologies in sports,

528
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: uh in terms of like analytics. So basically on yeah,

529
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely uh snooze fest for some of us. Um.

530
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny you look at the lineup of

531
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: speakers and it's got you know, some really big name

532
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: speakers that have kind of pioneered the analytics and sports,

533
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: Billy being, yeah, being one of the main ones. Um,

534
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think Bill James has been there. I think, Um,

535
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, Nate Silver is gonna be speaking this year.

536
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: Actually one of our own, John Ershi will be there.

537
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: Really yeah, John Erschall is gonna be doing a little session,

538
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: so probably sitting on that ask him some you know,

539
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: better questions to questions, questions. We'll give you a couple

540
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: questions to ask him. Yeah, exactly, the little reporting. And

541
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: also in addition to going there, getting ready to go

542
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: to London, I am going. I'm leaving tonight, actually leaving

543
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: tonight for London, so we're gonna get the scouting mission.

544
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: Cody is scouting out London for Garret and I go

545
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: to maybe a couple of pubs. Do you think you'll

546
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: go to any pubs? Are you there? Well? Actually, funny story,

547
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,920

552
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: be the most out of place game. This place has

553
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: got at every table a button that you can press

554
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,000
