1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast, Eat some toilet paper Badly. 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition to Be Around the NFL Podcast. 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas. I'm coming to you from 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: a city filled with heroes in bunkers. Mark Sesler, Chris Wesling, 5 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: and Greg Rosathal. What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan, Hey, gang? 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: Days have no meaning anymore. I took out my garbage cans, 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: put them on the street last night, a full twenty 8 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: four hours early. That was a mistake. You can't really 9 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: tract the days anymore. They're all essentially the same. Uh. 10 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: And that is just one of the many burdens faced 11 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: right here. Good good garbage material, you know. It's like 12 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: it's like that's a man of the people's stuff. It's 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: just like a slice of regular life. Do you put 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: Do you put your garbage out on the corner? Greg Um? Yes? 15 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes I always take it in. We share the same 16 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: garbage canisters with the two apartments behind us, so it's 17 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: a group effort. I'm I always taking them. Ever, any 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: heat with that. Now, sharing trash could lead to, uh, 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: you know, neighborly squabbles. I often just take it out 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: into the streets, you know where there where it's there 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: all the time in the alley. Don't even mess with 22 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: the doesn't feel like a great time to be sharing. Uh, 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: refuse with other people, Greg, but you know you have 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 1: your own plan and direction. Um, Wes, how are you, buddy? 25 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm doing well. We had another neighbor happy hour last night. 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: We made a trip to CVS with our masks and 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: gloves on. Um, anytime you get to a store and 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 1: you don't have to stand in a like a hundred 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: yard line, it's a good situation. So CVS was walked 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: right in. Strange because my local drug store is the 31 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: same way. You would think they would have some of 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: the traffic issues. Not at the same level as the 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: grocery store, but for instance, the shopping center right near me, 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: it's a fifty ft line to get into vans and 35 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: then um, you have right aid right next door, walk 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: right on it. Yeah, Trader Joe's is almost right next door, 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: and that was a long line. I've been in Trader 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: joe several times since this all started, and there's never 39 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: been food on the shelves. So I would advise people 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: to maybe try somewhere else. And Greg, there's Greg's beautiful children. 41 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: Look at the look at that, look at that Hi Ellis, 42 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: Ellis Troublemakers. I mean it plays better on video than 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: an audio podcast hillas mode of communication. They're saying hi 44 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: to you guys, if you want to say hello Ellis 45 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: and Walker Rosenthal Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Okay 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: bye bye. Wow, little potty talk in a big spot. 47 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: A young Howard Stern in the making. Wow.

Why would it 51 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: not be a you know, speaking of Howard Stern. Tom 52 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Brady gonna be on Stern next week, which is suddenly 53 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: free for all listeners. I'm curious to listen to that. 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: Brady is going on Stern. W is um April eighth. 55 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: I saw them and apparently whatever Stern is on, they've 56 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: made it free to all listeners. So I am. I 57 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: am really curious because he's he's gonna get some stuff 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: out of time. Uh, well, Howard is starting. I'm a 59 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Howard fan going back twenty years. He's really softened up. Um, 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: even in the last five years or so, i'd say, 61 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: with age and moved away from reputation and how he 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: built his career, and he's really put a lot of 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: focus on the celebrity interview angle. I think he's trying 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: to massage his legacy a little bit here in the 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: back end of his career. So I don't know if 66 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna get the if Howard Stern interview Tom Brady 67 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. Uh. First of all, Tom Brady's not 68 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: going on the show. Uh. Second of all, it's gonna 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: be a very different line of questioning. So I anybody 70 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: that's expecting some type of raunchy, no holds bar to 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: interview with Brady, you might be disappointed, but it could 72 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: still be a very good interview because Stern does his 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: prep and and he's very good at that. I'm not 74 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: that interested in any you know, him diving deep into 75 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: the Gisel relationship or not. I mean, that'd be fine, 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: but read you want to, I bet he'll get some stuff. 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: He'll he'll bug him about his actual relationship with Belichick 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: in a way that maybe he'll actually get some answers. Yeah, 79 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: and that need help. Stern doesn't know anything about sports, 80 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: but he has guys on his team, like Baba Boo 81 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: that should be able to help out. That's an important interview. 82 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: We've been waiting all along for Baba Booy to get 83 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: to the bottom of this, and it feels like it's 84 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: a perfect pairing. There you go. Um, all right, today's show, 85 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: we're gonna get caught up on some news and uh, 86 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: including the return of a player that had similarly been forgotten. 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: Uh and now he is back in the mix in 88 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: the NFL after years in the desert. Um. And also 89 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: we're going to talk a little bit. Uh. We've this week, 90 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: we've mixed it up a little bit and and thrown 91 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: around some um opportunities for each of us to come 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: up with a theme of the day, something to talk 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: about for a segment or a show. West. You you 94 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: had a good idea for today, which is, well, we 95 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: open every show is the room full of heroes. But 96 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: it's with a wink. We are not heroes. We know that, UM. 97 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: But now we have you know, friends and listeners in 98 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: the hospital battling COVID. We have healthcare workers dedicated to 99 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: fighting the virus and some of them are listening to 100 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: our podcast during down times between those shifts. We're finding 101 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: out what heroes really are, So we're gonna talk a 102 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: little bit about heroes today. Sounds good. But before that, yes, 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: let's get caught up on the news. There are plenty 104 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: of things we cannot do right now, but let's focus 105 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: on what we can do. We can adapt, we can adjust, 106 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: and we can make better decisions right now for the 107 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: betterment of the future. As I tell our team, let's 108 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: keep stringing good days together and we will get through this. Yeah, Bill, 109 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: who's that fired up right out? Who's not ready to 110 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: run through a wall? What? What? What a gifted? In 111 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: terms of charisma, I've always found a belt. Well he 112 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: is the proof though, I mean, one of the great 113 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: motivators and um unquestionably one of the greatest coaches in 114 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: the history of professional football. Uh, not a guy that 115 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: you would think you'd be running through a wall for 116 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: strictly based on the cadence of his voice. Nickname Doom 117 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: is that true doom walking around the corner? Here comes Doom. 118 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Go to Pro Football Reference and we'll have eight other 119 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: nicknames that none of us have heard of. That said, 120 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: that site seems to be off on their own project 121 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to nicknames that simply are not grounded 122 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: in reality. For players and coaches. Alright, let's get into 123 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: it some news. Terry Henry signs his ten boy two 124 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: million dollar franchise tender. Uh that site has been operating 125 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: without jurisdiction for too long. I just, I guess I'll 126 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: just I'll lay it out there again because you did 127 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: bring this up about two months ago. I wrote an 128 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: article about this on our website. I reached out to 129 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: the people there and they said that they basically put 130 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: up almost anything that's sent to them, and it's a 131 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: bit of like an inside joke between the readers and 132 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: the website. Well not all, not everyone is laughing. I 133 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: do I seem like I'm laughing about this. No, you 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: are not laughing at all. Derrick Henry, the Titans running back, 135 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: the rushing champion. He signs that franchise tenderest MS ESPN 136 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: is Adam Schefter added that the two sides are still 137 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: committed to working for a long term extension before June. 138 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: But we don't have to worry about it, seems any 139 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: type of holdout because he is now under contract. He's signed. 140 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: He's not going to use it as leverage and uh, 141 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: West it is a tough situation on some level. For 142 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Henry because when you look at what other skill players 143 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: and other playmakers in the league are making compared to 144 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: what he's gonna make this year, potentially, if he doesn't 145 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: get that long term deal, it's stinks. But it's just 146 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: the it's the way of the beast. Yeah, every once 147 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: in a blue moon, you'll see a player under the 148 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: franchise tag maybe draw a hint of interest around the league, 149 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: But this is not the off season for that, first 150 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: of all, and he doesn't play the position for that. Secondly, 151 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: I do think you know, I've talked about how nobody 152 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: feels sorry for fullbacks and they're practically extinct, but there's 153 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: this outcry for running backs, and I do think it's 154 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: unfair the way running backs are treated. I would have 155 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: liked to have seen that addressed in some way. Uh 156 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: in the c B A um that their greatest years 157 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: earning years are in college in their first year or 158 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: two in the NFL when they're underpaid severely. So there 159 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: is no mechanism for running backs to get paid what 160 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: they're worth, and I don't see a way out of that. Yeah, 161 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: the rookie wage scale UH keeps obviously their number down, 162 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: and then as as much as it stinks like something 163 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: like what happened with Todd Gurley. Greg Uh, You're an 164 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: absolute superstar out of college. You're one of the best 165 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: players in the league. So the Rams say, all right, 166 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna rip up that contract and pay him like 167 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: a superstar and make him a cornerstone, and then that 168 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: blows up in their face. So that just is yet 169 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: another caution sign that it doesn't seem like getting paid 170 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: as a running back is something that's coming anytime soon. Yeah, 171 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. I think it's just market dynamics. Same thing 172 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: with inside linebackers and safeties, depending on the position you play. 173 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: But him signing it got me thinking, all these players 174 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: are signing their tag early, and I do wonder if, 175 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: because there's so much uncertainty out there, they want to 176 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: theoretically lock up the money. And I've thought about free 177 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: agents that are out there right now, like Jadevan Clowney, 178 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: whether they're starting to get a little nervous because what 179 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: if this se as it is delayed, What if it 180 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: affects um your salary moving forward? What if the NFL 181 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: doesn't pay all their players this year? Do you want 182 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: to lock in your contract like it's complicated, But there's 183 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: reports with the NBA that some of their you know, 184 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: weekly salaries might stop sooner than later, and that has 185 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: to start playing into the minds of how all these 186 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: deals are getting done and you love this stuff, Greg 187 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: with agents leaking stories to further contract negotiations. First thing 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: I came to mind when I saw the headline that 189 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: Clowney has dropped his price a couple of million dollars. 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: That seemed like a situation where despite the report that 191 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 1: we heard uh that clown he might wait till training camp, 192 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: Connie probably would rather figure out a way to get 193 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: paid sooner rather later. In this climate and just in general, 194 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: everybody wants to get paid rather than be left hanging right. 195 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: You get a signing bonus, and who knows what if 196 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: in two months they start, you know, talking about delay 197 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: in the season or something, and he's just like unsigned, 198 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: that's that's money you're not getting back. Well, I think 199 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: what's different about Clowney is we know he has an 200 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: injury history. He's got a microfracture knee surgery, and that 201 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: is the type of thing that your own medical doctors 202 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: are are gonna want to check out before you part 203 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: with twenty million dollars a year. And last note on this, 204 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: Henry again, ten point two million. If he doesn't get 205 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: the deal done, that's what he'll make this year. Just 206 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: for some perspective, Robbie Anderson a perfectly fine wide receiver 207 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: but by no means a star. Just signed a deal 208 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: with the Panthers that is essentially a one year, twelve 209 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: million dollar deal. And if you can tell me that 210 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: Robby Anderson is half the playmaker and is important to 211 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: his team as Derrick Henry is, that is something's a 212 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: little bit off. But it doesn't seem like we're getting 213 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: a change anytime soon, considering the CBA just passed. I 214 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: would wonder if you're if you're plugged in in your 215 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old and you're seeing this. I don't 216 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: think the mindset at that age is just thriving whatever 217 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: you can do well. But why become a running back 218 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: when you probably have the athleticism to play a different 219 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: type a position, or why stick around until you're a 220 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: senior unless you're clogged up by a bunch of people 221 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: starting over you get out of get out of college 222 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: as a freshman or sophomore. I mean, how else do 223 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: you maximize your earnings and hit the NFL at a 224 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: different age, Like it's going to create some sort of 225 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: reaction from human beings choosing that career. When a career 226 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: dries up. Uh, you know, money wise, people make they 227 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: make changes. So are running backs just going to accept 228 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: this for the next twenty years? Please? Let's let's move 229 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: on the un There's something about your size today, Mark 230 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: that are there. I'm just trying to throw a comment 231 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: when I can. I don't know. It's like I I 232 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: don't deal with the the You guys got the financial 233 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: stuff down perfectly. I enjoyed it, but it's do you 234 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: believe that? It's like if I were like a star 235 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: running back in high school, but I can play multiple positions, 236 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: like we go play cornerback, go play cornerback. Those guys 237 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: are getting ridiculous contracts, you know, two or three deals 238 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: down the road. I'm not that option is available to 239 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Well, this is what this is what you 240 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: want to be. You want to be a backup quarterback 241 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. If you could just navigate your way there, 242 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: you don't get any of the beating and you get 243 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a pretty nice pay day. Blaine Gabbert has resigned with 244 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: the Bucks on a one year contract. There and yes, 245 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: thank you Gabert, who missed most of twenty nineteen with 246 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: a bad shoulder, he'll now be It's historically, with the 247 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: exception of one season, the easiest job in pro football 248 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: is to be Tom Brady's backup quarterback because Brady plays, 249 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: that's all he does. He just plays relentlessly. He never 250 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: misses a week, even though he's turning forty three in August. 251 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: But Gabbertt, he'll be the guy behind Brady, and God 252 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: forbid something happens to Tom terrific because Gabert can't play. 253 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: I mean, Mark, we know that you know one person 254 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: I think does believe that Blaine Gabbert can play, as 255 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: Bruce Arians, who began the I thought the PR camp, 256 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: not PR campaign, but like the working with Blaine Gabbert, 257 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: where you shifted away from ultra draft bus slash disappointment 258 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: to floating some comments out there when they were with 259 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: the Cardinals for a little bit saying I believe in 260 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: this guy. I think he can he can fling it 261 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: and like Arians kind of dug him and so that's 262 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: where I drew the connection was that this was a 263 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: known quantity. Um. I couldn't agree more that Blaine Gabbert, 264 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: like if you base it on history, will be paid 265 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: an incredible amount of money to go to these like 266 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: the workplace cafeteria and probably get a lot of free 267 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: garb and you know, shoes and sweatshirts to do essentially nothing, 268 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: um when it matters. But that said, he also the 269 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: flip side is if Tom Brady ever went down, you 270 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: become one of the most annoying on field presences of 271 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: all time because not a single person in Tampa who's 272 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, gonna drop a ton of extra money to 273 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: go get these season tickets ever thought they'd see Blaine 274 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: Gabbert doing a single thing. So if he hits the field, 275 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: we've got major issues. In other Tampa Bay Buccaneers news. 276 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: Brady needs a place to live down there in Florida. 277 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: Uh now that he's a buck and he will live 278 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: in style. He's renting Derek Jeter's waterfront mansion in Tampa. I. Um, 279 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: remember this was something when this place was being built, 280 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: it was tabloid fodder in New York because Jeter wanted 281 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: a wall. It's basically on the waterfront it's massive as 282 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: you imagine. You would imagine thirty thousand square feet. Jeter 283 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: wanted to put up an extra like two ft high 284 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: on the wall for privacy reasons, and it was known 285 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: as St. Jetersburg. And I guess no one's living there. 286 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: So here comes Tom who moves into the nicest house. 287 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Tom Brady, you gotta, you gotta, Well, 288 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: it's not easy to be happy for Tom. Brady has 289 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: had so much greatness in his life. But this coundnot 290 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: have been a better setup for Brady. Not only is 291 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: he get to start over, he gets the head South, 292 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: better weather, play with a coach who's actually nice to him, Um, 293 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: get that new challenge in his life, have great playmakers 294 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: around him. And oh, it just so happens that one 295 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: of the most famous American athletes, he builds one of 296 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: the nicest houses in the country and it's available for 297 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: you to live in. Uh, fifteen minutes from the Bucks facility. 298 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: This is a perfect setup for the guy. Oh and 299 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: he got number twelve. God when moved off twelve, I 300 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: just wondered, does it come with like free the free 301 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: gift baskets that Derek Peter used to give out to 302 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: the women that would come to his apartment, probably left over. 303 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: There's just like a button that you press and that 304 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: pops out of a vending machine or something. I I 305 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: in my in my single days in New York, I 306 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: heard that story before. It was the story, Yes, the gifts. 307 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: I never got a gift basket, unfortunately, but I was 308 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: dating a girl whose close friend got a gift basket 309 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: from Jeter, and I remember being blown away by it. 310 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: And then when it showed up in page six a 311 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: couple of years later, I felt like I was on 312 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: the ground floor of something special. He had been doing 313 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: it for probably a decade, and those were your early 314 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: days of you know, operating as a media inside or 315 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: before you were being paid to do so. You were reported, 316 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: and that actually goes back to my my My one 317 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: thought on Brady is you know you were hungry. You 318 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: were living probably um with other people in an apartment, crafting, 319 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: gaining your skills. Now you've got a mid forties quarterback 320 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: who everyone just assumes is gonna go thirteen and three, um, 321 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: who's twenty years older than most of the people on 322 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: the roster, living in in in a mansion where what 323 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: at best he takes up twelve feet of space with 324 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: all his objects. You're in a gigantic um like Largesse 325 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: compound away from human beings a family, right, Well, I 326 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: mean maybe, but I thought the family also lives in 327 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: Manhattan and has all these like school obligations. And also, 328 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean this, this is a super wealthy, famous celebrity. 329 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: There's there's probably a chef on site, maids, all all 330 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: sorts of people that need to keep the grounds, uh 331 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: groundskeeping the whole thing there. Gabt's in the guesthouse, he's 332 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: in the Cato kalin Hut. Well, I mean when you 333 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: throw in the fact that Abert needs a living space, 334 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: all my issues have gone away. So you're right. Is 335 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: anyone else feeling like this is just being the red 336 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: carpets being rolled out for everything to go right, And 337 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: it's like that's almost how it never works in the NFL. 338 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: And I want to show everyone's mics off and just 339 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: have Mark do the next thirty minutes. I'm just saying, 340 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: if you have so many great takes right now, I 341 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: just I just there's a little bit a little bit 342 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: of an issue buzzing inside my mind about how everything 343 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: is just so perfect, Like I just don't. We'll see. 344 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: I hope it goes well for him. I just want 345 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: to make I mean, the setup. I don't know what's 346 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: gonna happen when this is very believable. I hope it 347 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: goes well for them. I actually don't have I don't 348 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: have an axtagrind with Tom Brady, but I do think 349 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: that like, you know, you've arrived like a king. You know, 350 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: you've arrived like a king, and you're and that is 351 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: not not every athlete on that roster is going to 352 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: respond to say what does he what do you want 353 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: him to do? What has he done? Personally? How about? 354 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: How about like, how about I don't need to read 355 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: stories about you moving out on him? Like the biggest 356 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: mansion out I'm feeling marks take on this one. I mean, 357 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: you move in, you might as well throw down a 358 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: drawbridge and higher guards when you're moving into that place 359 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: that How often does something like that just work out perfectly? Well? 360 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: Tom and Uh we're gonna I'm going I'm going for 361 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: the Tom and Gazel did build that big place out here. 362 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: They spent like, you know, tens of millions of dollars 363 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: for two or three years, and then they just never 364 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: even lived in it. They're like, Oh, I guess we're 365 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: not gonna live out here's an investment them. That's what 366 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: they say. That's what they say. I just love that. 367 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: Like literally a week ago Mark went on and on 368 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: and on about Martha Ford's like massive estate and how 369 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: he'd do anything to live there. And now Tom Brady 370 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: in this castle. That the distinct, uh, the point of departure, 371 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: there's that benefits me. And I'm not like, I don't 372 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: need to worry about Tom Brady. Is fine if I 373 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: were suddenly living in a mansion with someone that would 374 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: be probably thinking about who were the people that mattered 375 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: most with me? When you know, when you forgot about me, 376 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: who mattered most? This Mark Sessler character is in here 377 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: helping doing chores. Plus, it's like, you know, what did 378 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: Tom Brady do to earn earn that sort of money, 379 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: just like you know, the greatest player in the sports history, 380 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: Martha Ford was born into the Ford family. I'm not 381 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: I like, I'm not saying that Martha Ford should have 382 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 1: as much money as she has. That's not the Tom Brady. 383 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: I've said. What I need to say. I think was 384 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: born in Indonesia, be poor, we're pushing here. I was 385 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: into tomorrow. We're just talking Brady's about the rest of 386 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: the show. The Cowboys have brought Alden Smith back from 387 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: the dead, signs the former Niners pass rusher to a 388 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: one year, two million dollar contract. Smith still waiting to 389 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: be reinstated UH from the NFL. He had various off 390 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: the field issues, including um A domestic abuse plea deal 391 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: some d U. I is just a total mess, and 392 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: it ruined a career that had started, as you know, 393 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: one of the more are productive pass rushers we've seen 394 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: in recent times, and he basically just put a stick 395 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: of dynamite under his own career. Well, now he's back, 396 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: he's gotta pay dah as modest as it is. And 397 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: you would imagine Greg that the Cowboys expect this suspension 398 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: to UM be lifted. If they're gonna pay this guy 399 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: two million dollars, Yeah, they probably got an indication. He 400 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: has more sacks in his first two seasons than any 401 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: player in NFL history. So if he if his head's 402 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: on straight and he doesn't have the substance abuse problems, 403 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: which is really what derailed him first. UM I had 404 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: like nineteen sacks is a twenty two year old. It 405 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: was something absurd. I remember, I think he had thirty yeah, thirties, 406 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: thirty something in his first two years, thirty three, I think, 407 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: which is outrageous. Okay, but let's okay, this has never 408 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: happened before. Right, he'll be thirty one in September. The 409 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: last time he was the old and Smith. We remember 410 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: where he was impacting games, he was twenty four years old, 411 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be six to seven years between when 412 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: he was a star and when he's gonna be playing 413 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. The only guy I thought of was 414 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: Roger Staubach, who had a four year Navy mission and 415 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: could not play in those four years. I can't remember 416 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: anybody taking six years off or six years between major 417 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: impacts in the NFL. There's no guaranteed money in the deal, 418 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: So for for the Cowboys, they probably look at it 419 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: is like there's zero risk from their perspective. Who was 420 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: that troubled Jaguars receiver that came out about Blackman? Justin Blackman? Yeah, 421 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: I remember when he was having his issues. One of 422 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the reports that eventually came out was that one of 423 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: the reasons why he wasn't getting a second shot beyond 424 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: his off the field issues, was that he had been 425 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: away from the game for so long that that's scene 426 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: is something that guys just can't come back from. If 427 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: you disappear, it doesn't matter if you're still physically in 428 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: your prime. It's hard to get back that Burston explosion, 429 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: you explosion you once had. Aldon Smith, that's gonna be 430 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: a challenge for him. You no doubt Alden Smith has been, 431 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: you know, working out NonStop in the space of time 432 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: that we've not him on the field. Based on what 433 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: we know, I feel like it's got to be seven 434 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: get the body right operations. Speaking of doom, I mean well, 435 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's like it's a if he makes Debbie Downer. 436 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not rooting for Aldon Smith, to be 437 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: honest with you. So if you're if you're premonition that 438 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: he might be seventy pounds, is uh true? I don't 439 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: think that. I just like, when we it's like suddenly 440 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna lose him for three, you know, three months 441 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: to a soft tissue injury. I won't be stunned. I 442 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: mean we've been it's were three weeks into the bunker cast, 443 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: So I think it's having mar you're killing me today. 444 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, he's the front runner to be the charge 445 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: of starting QB in week one, and that's coming straight 446 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: from the horse's mouth Anthony Lynn, the head coach of 447 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: the l A Chargers. Uh. Here's what Anthony had to 448 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: say on Wednesday. I brought him in last year and 449 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: I knew that we if we needed him to start. 450 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: If something happened to Phil. Phil Rivers since departed, uh 451 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: not dead, he's on the cult stale, then he could 452 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: go in and start. I'm very familiar with Tyrod. I 453 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: would say, right now, it looks like he's in the 454 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: driver's seat, but no position is final until we get 455 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: to training camp. Right now, coach speak West. Yeah, I 456 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: think anytime a coach leaves himself and out there are 457 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: plans to use it at some point. So to me, 458 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: that he's leaving himself and out, that door is open. 459 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: How is Cam Newton Greg not a better option here? 460 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me, But it really sounds 461 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: like they're not interested in Cam Newton. The out I 462 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: think is that they're going to draft someone, whether it's 463 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: with the number six pick or whether they move up 464 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: to to draft someone I think they're drafting someone with 465 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: that pick, and I'm with you, and I like I 466 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: I Anthony Lynn's fascination with Tyrod Taylor tracks back to 467 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: the Rex Ryan Bills, and I think it's to me 468 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: it kind of vibes Jacoby Brissette like, we like this guy, 469 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: we like this player. But without the full year of 470 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor, it may never happen. If they don't pick 471 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: a quarterback or move up to get the quarterback they 472 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: want in the draft, I would be would anyone else 473 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: not be shocked? I would be shocked, shocked, shocked. That's 474 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing. So this is just that, you know, 475 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: this is whistling Dixie until in case everything goes wrong, Well, 476 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: if they don't have much time to practice, though, he 477 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: I could see Tyrod like when he was with Baker 478 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: Mayfield starting early in the year. Uh, you missed the 479 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: whole off season. It's tough. He's been in that system. 480 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: And then they bend him in Week four and finally uh. 481 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: Some college football player news. Mike Gara Folo NFL Network 482 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: reports that alabam Alabama quarterback to Ah with the hip injury, 483 00:25:54,320 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: underwent another medical check um and received quote over whelmingly positive. 484 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: Close quote news. Uh, he has fulfilled all medical obligations. 485 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: UM rap sheet adds, and it just seems like this 486 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: guy is gonna be a full go Maybe. I guess 487 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: we've heard that he might be. It might be a 488 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: situation where he could be a potential redshirt guy as 489 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: they want to ease a gifted first round prospect into 490 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: the NFL mix. We'll see how that plays out. But 491 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: in terms of teams having a reason to be concerned 492 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: heading into draft day, market seems like TWA is in 493 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: the clear. Yeah. I mean, the reports are pretty glowing 494 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: and I think we can trust how the process went 495 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: and it it opens the door. And at this point, 496 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: anyone like knocking down a what will be a franchise, exciting, 497 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: team altering quarterback because of an injury that's fading away. 498 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what that team would be. It just 499 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: seems like all bets are on for the Dolphins or 500 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 1: someone else to come grab this guy. That's what's happening 501 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: in the new is actually one more a little developing news? Well, 502 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: let's uh, let's head toward to the studio for some 503 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: developing news. He's on the radar. The Orlando led Better 504 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: checking in on Twitter. Here's the tweet. Hey guys at 505 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: around the NFL, thanks for shout out on the top 506 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: thirty QB podcast. Got my steps in this morning listening 507 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: to you all. Great job at Dan Jansas, at Greg 508 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: Rosenthal and at Chris Wesling d Orlando led Better of 509 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Journal Constitution. A lot to unpack here, guys, Uh, 510 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: where do we want to start? Greg? Wow? Well, I 511 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: think you know the first thing. It's it's a it's 512 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: a great feeling to have that sort of respect and 513 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: nowhere connecting with some as great as as d Lead. 514 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: But you just had to notice whose name was was 515 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: missing there? The man um Mark Sessler, who's who's reached 516 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: out to de Lead and mentioned what it meant, what 517 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: a hero he is to him. It's justice in terms 518 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: of context. On a show earlier this week, I talked 519 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: about how I kind of looked up to Matt money 520 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: Smith and Dave damn Check certainly when I first started 521 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: this company and was getting to know them, and then Mark, 522 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: you had chimed in with the Lead as somebody that 523 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: you looked up to. Where are you at right now 524 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: when you see this tweet and the thoughts on your 525 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: name not being in there. Do you think there's something 526 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: more to this? Do you think it was just an 527 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: honest mistake? Take us through your thought process right here. Really, 528 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm really mentally because I thought of anyone 529 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: attached to our our product. I made it clear that, 530 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, dating back to early combines, I went to 531 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: that this was someone I'd see across the room UH 532 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: operating as a PFW A lieutenant doing a great job 533 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: wrangling UM pool reports from people. It's clear in the 534 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: past that I wanted to join that organization. They said 535 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: no to me. So I I don't know if it's 536 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: attached to UM like an organizational PFW A wide UH 537 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: band on my work, or if it's more personal UM, 538 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: or if it's an oversight because we do get tweets 539 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: occasionally where UM and I don't see them because my 540 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: name is left out of the group where the others 541 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: are thanked for their service. So I I'm baffled UM. 542 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: Like I said, I mentally am catching up to the 543 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: whole thing, certainly emotionally UM. But I I'm not going 544 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: to draw any final conclusions until I have more information, 545 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: because I am at the at the I am a 546 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: reporter myself. So I want to deal in facts, and 547 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: what I have to work with was what was this 548 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: whe There's probably a second part to this, the omission 549 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: of Mark's name on purpose or accidental. Oh, it's on purpose. 550 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't understand what the motivation would be. I mean, 551 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: he heard the words come out of Mark's mouth and 552 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: then the one person not mentioned in the tweet is 553 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: the person who was talking about him. I'd say that 554 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: to draw your own conclusion, situation. My conclusion is it 555 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: was done on purpose. Now what that purpose was, I'm 556 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: not sure. Well, he'm leading, I'm leaning towards west side. 557 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a wink and a nod. Hey, y'all, 558 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: I'm listening, and I see smart Alec. I think that's 559 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of the smart Alec I mean is that it's 560 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: basically like, Hey, stinky Davis, I'm right here. Well, and 561 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: this isn't the first time, you know, d led a legend. 562 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: Um his name has been mentioned lately. Uh. You know, 563 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: there was a ranking that Mark put out a few 564 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Um that upset we We know Peter Schraeger, 565 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: a trusted UH man in the industry for his own 566 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: mission and d lad did make that list, but maybe 567 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: maybe he wasn't thrilled about his placement on that list either. Well, 568 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: so we wanted to be higher. I mean, I guess 569 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: that that's a fair place to start from the argument. 570 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: But I feel like my b line through this has 571 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: been ray you know, like pointing to his work is 572 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: something that's you know, a great part of our industry. 573 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: And what's the action step here, Mark? I mean my 574 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: move is like again, I'm gat I'm in the gathering 575 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: information portion of this, so uh, not a lot of 576 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: proactive I'm not I'm not engaging. I'm just gonna see 577 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: where we are a week from now. It's just like 578 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: with many things in our country, Dan, Well, the one 579 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: short thing about this situation is it is your move. 580 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: Well that the onus he gave you the onus. Yeah, 581 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know if I 582 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: have to do anything at all, but I'm I am 583 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: I All things are on the table as possibility. We 584 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: know he's he's aware because I mean I think since 585 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: we even started taping this, he he liked a tweet 586 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: where you know, I just said thanks the lead. I 587 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: just wanted to recognize his tweets so the interactions happening, 588 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: he's listening to the show, he's he's interacting on Twitter. 589 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: It's it's a conversation. Yeah, that part of it. I 590 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: don't like at all that he that you're all raising up, 591 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, a steam wise in his eyes. And I 592 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: have been left, uh in a perilous place, a bad place, frankly, 593 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: and I know I'm confused as to what have we 594 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: ever done? Like three minutes of the show that is 595 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: more just for us. I'm gonna right now to eggs 596 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: d lead you demand as the producer of the show. 597 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: I really appreciate you listening. Well, see that's you know, 598 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: you want to see Stinky Davis references. They're they're all 599 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: over the place. That's you're just pouring salt into the 600 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: theoretical wounds. It's ghastline on the fire. Really. Um, all right, well, 601 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: we'll we'll continue to track this developing story. As we 602 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: get more information, we will bring it to you the listener, 603 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: d lad game, let it fully lead it all right, West, 604 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: it's cut the funny business. Let's get real, go ahead, 605 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: less take it over. Well, this is a sports show. 606 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: And I think I would start out by saying, picture 607 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: of the closing seconds of a tightly fought championship game basketball, football, baseball, 608 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: the camera in that to belief find some ten year 609 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: old bawling his eyes out, because at that age you 610 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: worship your sports heroes. You want to emulate them, and 611 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: you go out in the backyard. If you're my age, 612 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, you literally pretend you were Michael Jordan's or 613 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: Pete Rose or Johnny bench Um. If you're younger, maybe 614 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: uh Lebron James or Lamar Jackson. And for Freud would say, 615 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: we're fixiate. We're fixating on ideals of masculinity as we 616 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: try to develop our own identities, and eventually we grow 617 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: out of that phase. And with the exception of some 618 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: generational icons like Jackie Robinson or a Muhammad Ali, we 619 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: tend to shift our hif focus to heroes who take 620 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: a personal risk for the common good, often while others 621 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: remain passive. That's what a hero is, and it's a 622 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: concept is deeply valued across cultures. The earliest campfire tales 623 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: gave us stories of heroes, you know, sort of like 624 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: modern lighthouses, helping us find our way in the dark, 625 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, as long as we look out for them. 626 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: And the key to hear wis m is a concern 627 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: for other people. It doesn't happen in the absence of 628 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 1: compassion or self sacrifice. I know you guys all remember 629 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: the Stanford Um prison experiments psychologist named Philip Zimbardo. Uh. 630 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: He noted that there is a banality of evil. Under 631 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: certain conditions and pressures, ordinary people can commit acts that 632 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: would otherwise be unthinkable, And after three years, three decades 633 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,479 Speaker 1: of studying evil, he became entranced with the flip side 634 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: of that coin, sort of a bin binality of heroism, 635 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 1: where anybody can be a hero, of us coming out 636 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: of the womb, with the potential u for both good 637 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: and evil, depending on circumstances and character. Think about your 638 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: greatest your favorite films, TV shows, uh, theater, literature. You 639 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: place a human being in a crucible and see how 640 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: he or she reacts. Circumstances shape our lives, and you 641 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: don't need to be a superhuman to be a hero. 642 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: Many heroes feel sort of a moral tickle in the 643 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: brains where you you can't ignore it anymore. It keeps 644 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: grinding away at you until you act out on that. 645 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of us are reluctant heroes. 646 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: The bell curve has villains on one side, heroes at 647 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: the other, and a bunch of us as bystanders in 648 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: the middle. Um. And to me, this is where the 649 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: experts come in. We live in a country with a 650 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: steep history of anti intellectualism, and it's getting worse with 651 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: the prevailing sentiment across cable news that my ignorance is 652 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: as valid as your knowledge. UM. So I want to 653 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: take this time to thank our scientists, doctors, nurses, some 654 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: of our greatest experts. I'm here today because of their expertise. 655 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: If I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer in an 656 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: earlier generation, this podcast would feature Dan Mark, greg and 657 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: an attractive female in the fourth chair. UM. And I think, 658 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: right now, while I'm crying out for more attention for 659 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,919 Speaker 1: our experts, we have a leadership vacuum. We have top 660 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: down chaos right now. Um. During the Corona's coronavirus pandemic, 661 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: we have a governor of Georgia who said, just in 662 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, we didn't know until these 663 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 1: last twenty four hours that individuals could infect people before 664 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 1: they ever felt bad. Um, we knew, we knew, Um, 665 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: some of our experts. UM. Some of our politicians did 666 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,439 Speaker 1: not know, but our experts did. And I think one 667 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: good thing that we're seeing coming out of this is 668 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: the ordinary Americans are filling in the holes of that 669 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: leadership vacuum. UM. And I think about a guy who's 670 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: been on this podcast, UM, Zach Goldman, and he's a 671 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: hero to me. UM. He has been apoplectic about Americans 672 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: congregating in public for the past five weeks, stressing the 673 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: importance of flattening the curve, thinking beyond yourself, showing compassion, 674 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: that even if you are not showing symptoms, you can 675 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: carry this disease and it can affect other people. UM. 676 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: You know Zimbarda, the psychologist I talked about with the 677 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: with the Prisoned experiment, He noted the heroes generally possessed 678 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: an expanded worldview and greater positivity than the rest of us. 679 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 1: And I think that describes Zack Goldman. He does have 680 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: an expanded worldview. He is setting an example. UM. He 681 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: he Engender's wisdom in respect for expertise, truth telling, and compassion. 682 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: And I think that that's what we need from heroes, 683 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 1: because heroism is a chain. When we see other people 684 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: doing it. We do it ourselves, so UM, I would um, 685 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: I want to put Zack up as a hero and 686 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,760 Speaker 1: see if any of you guys have heroes. Well, Zach 687 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: is yeah, definitely an enlightened dude. UM. And I think 688 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: the more people that take this as seriously as Zack is, 689 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,399 Speaker 1: the better. Unfortunately, that hasn't necessarily been the case. Going 690 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: back to a lot of things that you're saying, I 691 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 1: think it's yeah, I think it's it's maybe on the nose, 692 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: but it has to be said that the all the 693 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 1: medical professionals that are out on the front lines here 694 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: and don't have the right enough supplies, uh, don't have 695 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,800 Speaker 1: the necessary protection, are completely overwhelmed and it's only getting 696 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: more and more overwhelming with each day as we approved 697 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 1: approached the apex of this. UM. It's it's frightening because 698 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 1: if we if we lose, if we lose these people, 699 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: what what happens after that? That's what part of what 700 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: makes us really scary. And my mom um is retired now, 701 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: but she was a registered nurse and she used to 702 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: tell me stories when she was working in the er um. 703 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: That is not an easy job in the best of times. 704 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: That is a that is a unforgiving. The hours are difficult, 705 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: the people that you deal with UM sometimes it's not 706 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 1: the best situation. So now you take all that, you 707 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,360 Speaker 1: crank it up from a ten to a one hundred 708 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: at a ten and you and you understand what these 709 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: people have and and like us, we we struggle with 710 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: UM the challenges of working from home. You know a 711 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: lot of these people have families at home UM. So 712 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: that to me is is really where where I think 713 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: UM people need to keep these medical professionals in mind 714 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: because they don't have the choice to stay home and 715 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 1: they are putting their lives at risk. Yeah, it's well said. 716 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,800 Speaker 1: Like in Italy, which has been hit you know, per capita, 717 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: probably worse worse than anywhere, I think fifteen of their 718 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: cases of coronavirus our healthcare workers. And you're starting to 719 00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: see that here too. You're starting to see that in 720 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot of these public jobs. There's more you know, 721 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 1: police and firemen with COVID nineteen in New York than 722 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 1: entire states have in New York City alone that entire 723 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 1: states have UM. And so they're on the front lines. 724 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: But it really stands out to me like what's essential 725 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,800 Speaker 1: and not essential in these times, and how many of 726 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: the essential jobs are some of like the lowest paid, 727 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: and you you think. I think about like the lady 728 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: Beatrice that at Bonds across the street that I see 729 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: every single morning, who I spoke with, and she she's worked. 730 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 1: She's I think she said like twenty six straight days 731 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 1: when I talked to her, and she's just showing up 732 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: every shift. I mean not everyone is. She's healthy and 733 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: she just keeps doing it like we were thankful to have, 734 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 1: like you know, delivery um or or pick up for restaurants. 735 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: If you're doing that like that that cooks in the kitchen, 736 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, and they are not getting paid like the 737 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: people keeping the restaurants open. They are losing money on 738 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: those restaurants. Like they're like this delivery and makes they're 739 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,399 Speaker 1: getting absolutely killed, but they're keeping it open and they're 740 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: cooking for you. Uh and they're and they're putting themselves, 741 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: uh at risk. Yeah, I would. I would add to 742 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: that just that you know, you guys mentioned CVS and 743 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: I feel like I've um use CVS as a as 744 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: a gag in the past, but I've been there like 745 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: every day because I don't want to do the longline 746 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: grocery store thing. We were lucky enough to live in 747 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,919 Speaker 1: l a where you can, UM with a nice tip, 748 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: have groceries delivered to your house on a five or 749 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: six day lag, and so we've used that just based 750 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: out of UM not one to spend hours doing that, 751 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: but going into CVS, if seen two or three of 752 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: the same people that are logging UM insane long hours. 753 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 1: They're not getting paid well, but they are providing essential services. 754 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 1: We're talking about like people's medicine. We're talking about, uh, 755 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: what there is still water. They're that kind of stuff. 756 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: But another thing that hit me UM a little bit 757 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: more personally because I I think that we're talking about 758 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: these people have been put in this tough position. I 759 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: think a lot of like a lot of like school 760 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: children and children in general, who don't have the UM 761 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: worldview that we're talking about that many heroes would have, 762 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: where you kind of get the larger struggle. Their world's 763 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 1: very small. UM. They have a lot of fears that 764 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: they don't really enunciate or able to even kind of unpack. 765 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: And I like when we found out the kids are 766 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: gonna be home for at first weeks and then a 767 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 1: probably months, UM in our house. We were very concerned. 768 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,239 Speaker 1: We have been told and I'll just be real about this, 769 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: like Bier pediatrician that Artiel children are in quotes active 770 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: um and which is a code word for a lot 771 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 1: of a lot to handle and um they are delightful. 772 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: But the the other side is when we've got into trouble. 773 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: It's when we've had too much cabin fever. And so 774 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,280 Speaker 1: our success in the past has been to get everyone 775 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,720 Speaker 1: out of the house and go do lots of stuff 776 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: and split them up and then bring them back together. 777 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,839 Speaker 1: And there's none of that, and so we were very 778 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 1: concerned and as were many other parents, just with the 779 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:26,479 Speaker 1: overall combustible nature of having um kids home where parents 780 00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: are trying to work. My little boys, and I think 781 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 1: this is true with a lot of kids I've seen 782 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: have adjusted really well and they've been um adaptable and 783 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 1: super positive, and they've kind of surprised me. I think sometimes, 784 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: like a hero, equality is you didn't really know if 785 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: you had it in you or someone else close to 786 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: you has it in them. And I'm kind of um 787 00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 1: thrilled with how uh it's helped our family because they've 788 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: been kind of in there at seven and nine, really 789 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: stepping up to be team mates versus just served me 790 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: this and that all day long, but logging on like 791 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 1: with their homework and seeing fifteen or sixteen other are 792 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 1: kids in a zoom chat room who are also doing 793 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 1: the best they can and try not to just give 794 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: into fear and not knowing what's happening to America. Credit 795 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 1: to them, because I don't. I can't imagine um being 796 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: a child at a certain age where you realize that 797 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: if you do that, how much the country has changed. 798 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: Maybe they don't understand, but if they do, they're handling 799 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,360 Speaker 1: better than a lot of um people I see on 800 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 1: Twitter and adults in general. You know, Ellis found out 801 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: you after any of my daughter that school is canceled 802 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year.

She was damning you know. 804 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: This part of it, they like, some of the aspects 805 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: are quite eightful from inside the house. Yeah, the innocence 806 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: of youth is on wild display during this entire catastrophe, 807 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: because the less they understand of the real world, the 808 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 1: better and all they they're really getting to hang out 809 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,319 Speaker 1: with their family and their mom and dad, who are 810 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: the coolest people in the world. When you're in the 811 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 1: age of my kids and your and your the age 812 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 1: of your children. So that's a cool thing.

Sorry, I just 815 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 1: want to echo the sentiments that you guys have been saying. 816 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just blown away whenever I go to 817 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,759 Speaker 1: the grocery store and like you said, Greg, people are 818 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: are still there, and it's like the people that get 819 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: paid pretty much the lowest on the totem pole. Besides, 820 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: you know, healthcare workers are the ones that are literally 821 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: keeping us all alive. I mean, the grocery stores are open, 822 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: they're they're they're happy, they're trying to make people safe. 823 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 1: I think, um, the airline workers who are showing up 824 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 1: with masks and whatever to get people to where they 825 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,319 Speaker 1: need to be for safety, like essential travel, I think 826 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: is so brave. Um. A lot of these people can 827 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: afford to take time off, and I just feel so 828 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,759 Speaker 1: fortunate that we're able to work from home. We're not 829 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: worried about our jobs. Like, there's so many people and 830 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 1: so many families that are scared right now, and it 831 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: just like gives me a totally new perspective and appreciation 832 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 1: when I wake up every morning, like I just I 833 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: want to do whatever I can to help, and it's 834 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 1: it's just there's only so much that someone like me 835 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 1: could do. Um And I'd like to say that like 836 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people I'm seeing on Twitter, like, I 837 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 1: don't think it's all necessarily about money, but I think 838 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people that are, like, hey, if if 839 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: you're a waitress, like let me send you a twenty 840 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: dollar tips to go get your coffee or whatever. I 841 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,000 Speaker 1: just feel like to see all these people like coming 842 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: together to help other people. And like West you said, 843 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,239 Speaker 1: with the whole top down thing in our government, like 844 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: I do feel really discouraged sometimes about humanity and how 845 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: people think and how people feel, But there is a 846 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: positive that comes out of this. I think the reason 847 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: why I was attracted this topic is because I have 848 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: a serious craving for some some monce of leadership right now. 849 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 1: And you can find all kinds of definitions for heroes. 850 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: There is not one definition, but what they do have 851 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: is they improve lives and they inspire positive change, and 852 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: heroism is really the high water mark of human behavior. 853 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: So for me that that really nourished something that I 854 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,359 Speaker 1: needed to be nourished to read about heroes and think 855 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:09,120 Speaker 1: about heroes. And where you're reading it, it sticks out 856 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 1: to me is is often in these newspapers. And I've 857 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: thought a lot about journalists the last could months, like 858 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: how how invaluable and like heroic some of the work 859 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: that that journalists are doing. Like I think back to 860 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, they're reporting from the New 861 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: York Times inside of Buhan during what at the time 862 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: seemed like an incredibly dystopic future that no one could 863 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: possibly imagine. And I was like, I can't believe this 864 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 1: is actually existing in the world. And now you know 865 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: it's come to us. It's not you know, quite um 866 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: as uh draconian, I guess is what happened there. But 867 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 1: you see the like the reporting from whether it's the 868 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: l A Times or or New York Times or or 869 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: where wherever, Like the people that are out there doing 870 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: that reporting it really is a public service and and 871 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,960 Speaker 1: it's not easy and they're putting themselves on the line too. 872 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: Um okay, And just one final thought I had, it's 873 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: we are at as of this morning, five thousand people 874 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: have died in this country alone, including one thousand in 875 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,200 Speaker 1: one day. Yesterday, I saw a New York City city 876 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: councilman said he has five people he knows and our 877 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 1: friends with who have died already in the Tri state 878 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 1: area have now have now you know, lost their lives 879 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,800 Speaker 1: than in nine eleven. I mean, that is outrageous. My 880 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: family is all based in New York where I come from, 881 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 1: in Rockland County. UM, as of yesterday, there were fourteen 882 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: hundred confirmed cases, which is more than thirty three states. 883 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: My sister lives there, her husband, two kids, my brother. UM, 884 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: so it's very scary and I I just wanted to 885 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,919 Speaker 1: shine a light on one of the victims. And people 886 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: that know me know that I love music and I 887 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: love alternative rock and UM. One person who died uh yesterday, 888 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: in fact, was Adam Schlessinger of Fountain of Wayne. Uh. 889 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: He was the songwriter. UH. He's fifty two years old 890 00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: and UM he died from complications of the coronavirus. And 891 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: this guy was UM a gifted UH like power pop 892 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,320 Speaker 1: songwriter type of guy that I would imagine other songwriters 893 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: envied for his ability to write a hook. And he 894 00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 1: wrote for movies, he wrote for television, he wrote for Broadway, 895 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: and um, he had one kind of big radio hit, 896 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: which was Stacy's Mom in two thousand three that um, 897 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: a lot of people know, but if you actually, um 898 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 1: want to listen to some great alternative like post grunge, 899 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: alternative power pop pull up like the greatest hits of 900 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 1: Fountains of Wayne and uh and and remember uh this 901 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 1: guy that way because he Uh. It's just an example 902 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,520 Speaker 1: of how people are getting struck down. And it doesn't 903 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: really matter how old you are, um uh. And it's 904 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: just so sad and it's going to continue to mount. 905 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 1: The number is in the amount of people that are 906 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: going to die. And I think that is the one 907 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: thing that me and I think a lot of people 908 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: are not really able to fully process yet, how many 909 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 1: people are dying right now. UM. So I just wanted 910 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:15,480 Speaker 1: to mention him and and uh and the show by 911 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 1: playing out one of his most well known songs, which 912 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 1: is actually from the movie That Thing You Do. He 913 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 1: wrote the song, um, the title song from that movie, 914 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,520 Speaker 1: and it's one of his more beloved compositions ever. So, UM, 915 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,400 Speaker 1: I thought that was great stuff from everybody there and 916 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: everybody listening that has reached out to us and said 917 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,279 Speaker 1: thank you for doing it every day. Well, I guess 918 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: it's just doing our part to kind of help during 919 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 1: all this. And um, but obviously, like West said, yeah, 920 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: they're actual heroes involved here. Now we don't get that. 921 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 1: We don't get that corner anymore. How do we get 922 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: the corner back? It's gonna take a lot. It's it's 923 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: not happening anytime soon. Should we be fa heiros until 924 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,560 Speaker 1: this is over? I mean we've kind of been that 925 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 1: with the whole time. I would argue that was our role, 926 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: but we we had our serious discussion. Now we can 927 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,359 Speaker 1: go back to frivolity, right, I mean it's like, yeah, 928 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 1: they're they're doing a lot. I mean, who's breaking down 929 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: QB rankings like us? Nobody? Nobody. All right, we'll we'll 930 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 1: be back tomorrow with more fun talk. So take it away. Uh, 931 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: Fountains of Wayne Dan hands a signing off for the 932 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,719 Speaker 1: Quiet Storm, the Mailman, the Old Boss, and Rick Hollywood 933 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 1: from her apartment until Friday, tomb breaking to a million 934 00:50:46,600 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: like you always do. Don't need to found I can't 935 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:07,080 Speaker 1: go with through and try and try to forget you there, 936 00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 1: but's just so hard to do every time you do 937 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 1: that thing you do
