  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the one of the city podcast presented by fans cited you can see that man right there that is Jay hood from under the hood cap in Jay hood you I see everything and also he has a couple of moving businesses and rental properties and other Jamaican things and though he's truly not Jamaican.
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: keep that for under the jerk chicken place.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did jerk chicken on Chicago.
• 0:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I used to work there.
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So we are also in there.
• 0:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jay Hood and I were aligned before and now we're aligned again on jerk chicken.
• 0:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we got to R&B app to do Jay Hood on Under the Hood, but we have to talk about why Chicago loves Jerk Chicken.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, we got you to the draft.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, we got to get to the draft.
• 0:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, you said on our last episode that you were getting inundated with people texting about dealing thinning and falling to the bears.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: One, where do you rate the bears' draft, but also your thoughts on the first player they selected in the draft?
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I like the theme and pick because there's a lot of Viking fans, friends and minds and I can't believe that he felt you guys just talking to people, you know, I won't do talking to people.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I won't do that because you can download the podcast.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll talk to Howard Griffith for the big tenet work, what are the guys that I trust because he goes all these training camps and talks to a lot of people so I talked to him first.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I said, Howard, tell me about the theme and he goes, oh man,
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: you talk about a dog out there, a guy is that it can get after it very fast, he won't be overwhelmed by the NFL, he feels like that that was a really good pick for the Chicago Bears, so I really like that a lot.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the Bears get another wide receiver and another tight end and my thought is well, the head coach really has autonomy of the room.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think that Ben Johnson has got the room by the balls.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he really has more autonomy than I think as he had killed for it.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of ruling the roots of the draft room and Ben Johnson says, okay, whatever it takes to win.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: But to me, I think Alex is about the balance, right?
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's about trying to balance out what you need on offense and defense.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people say best on the board, what I would say is you can have some of that, but also address what your major needs are.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It can't if I asked you to go to the store and give me two gallons of milk, why did you come back with six cans of comment?
• 2:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll just do that.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I'm trying to poison you.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the poison hood.
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the insurance money that you didn't know I had on you.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's what the bears did.
• 2:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They went to the store and they got something completely opposite of what was needed as far as the defense of us concerned.
• 2:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I liked what they, I would give it a be a solid be for what they did.
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Today, dress all they need to know, you can't address all your needs and draft.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: However, it was pretty obvious to me watching the eventful of the draft that there was some defensive linemen that they could have pulled and played and they did not go with that.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because to me, it's now been out to about today, it's also about the future as well.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they didn't, the bears did not do that.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's a solid be for what they're able to get.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think from the offensive weapons, they'll be utilized in the Benjaps system.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Real quick, the comment is kitchen cleanser and it's used in a lot of places to clean areas with the grit.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: You may proceed Alex for people that don't know what comment is.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, some people don't.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're, you know, and they don't clean.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't people don't clean like we have to come on.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Do you know how much money to save on a housekeeper by cleaning your sink with comment?
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you because I know all about it.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Comment is great.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, you can use it.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of places doesn't have to just be in your sink.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm a big proponent of scrubbing myself.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like to send out put on a podcast and scrub, baby, let me scrub.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: The best part, Alex, go is we're up against the clock, but we still have to do a bit.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: What you make is so good.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's so good.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know we're up against the thing, but like Kenneth, if you're going to explain comment, like I love it.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, this is what it's for, this is what it's for, this is what it's for, this is what it's for.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is what it's for.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, okay, you mentioned, okay, these are offensive guys who are going to make plays and but also not addressing because right that they needed the milk they got saving and Thomas instead of the milk so can you just take me through your
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: journey.
• 4:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: The bear's draft, Xavier and Thomas, you're immediate reaction, and then you digested a little bit, and then maybe you've come to terms, just like what has been your journey specifically with the Xavier and Thomas picked because with him, there's the added, there's the added little aspect that consensus was this guy was going to be a seventh round draft pick and the bear's use a much more valuable pick to bring Xavier and Thomas in.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: like this, I'll explain it this way.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the way I explained the Damian Thomas trick is I'm watching the draft with a hat on and I have a hat on.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then I say, whoa, they got another tight end and they put another hat on.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they got another one to see where they put another hat on.
• 5:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so I was wondering myself, why would you have three hats on?
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It would be weird for me to go outside with three hats on, right?
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Alex, do you care?
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's weird.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Three hats.
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So why would you put a hat on a hat on a hat?
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: when you already had plenty of weapons on the office.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why would you do that?
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is because the head coach just needs to have just another wine receiver.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why?
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's, I'm still not happy with that.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Because even though the young man might be fast and dynamic, because you need to draft them at that particular point when you need a defensive line help.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: See, that's why it goes from a solid B, B minus, and it could have been an A minus if you're just taking care of your needs.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why did you, because he popped off the screen, you have to have him on the football team.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So what is the kid from Detroit for?
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: The veteran?
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Why'd you bring him in?
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: What's the burden on the team for?
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: So to me, yes, there's one football.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there's going to be some guys that's going to want the football.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: They won't be able to get it because there's so many mounts to feed.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just because someone has, you know, great speed doesn't mean it's helping your, I don't know, your defense, which was one of your biggest negatives.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, what I'm wearing is just one hat that one hat denotes having just two or three receivers a couple of tight ends that you can throw the football to.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have to have someone just because he's fast.
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have to go through this every draft.
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every draft, you know, the Green Bay Packers, when you have to do that under Ron Wolf's kin, they drop you the quarterback every single draft.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So in bits for the bears, they're going to drop the Wagner Schieber in by day one or day two every draft.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that we're going to get just someone else fast?
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Fast, fast, faster, faster, faster, every draft.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Is that the drum beats of the bears?
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully not.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: if they can turn into Brunel, House of Back, Aaron Brooks, and you can, again, I'm with you and I think this goes to what you know we don't count my foot, but I think this goes to, no we don't, I think this goes to what you were saying is they put some all the hats again for those listening.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And more, it goes to the power imbalance of when you have a general manager, the helmet hat from the spin off from the cosmic show is great.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Got to love that one different world.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It goes to Ryan polls not having the power being retained.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, is an issue.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to ask you this is was Dayhood has plenty of hats.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad.
• 7:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, looking at we've talked about Tyreek Stevenson.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about the fact of some of these guys can't stay healthy.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: How'd you feel about them taking the the young man that came out of school early as he had predicted in the forefront?
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that's the return guy, right?
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, this is the text that this is the boundary corner, the smooth corner from Texas.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so he won't be, he'll be part of special teams as well.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bonnie, will you not?
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he did.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, yes.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think he could be right.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: He may have returned some of some points.
• 8:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I believe you could be right with that.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, they had gunner or something.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But so you think his influence, let me ask you this.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do you think his influence will be more of special teams than on the defense?
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm no early, but I'm going to talk about the entirety of the season.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think initially he will be, I don't know what happens in training camp, but that's a question.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have to bring me back, you know, when we look at training camp to see where they'll place them.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw that and I didn't think starter when I first saw that, did you?
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did not.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw someone else going to be on social teams and work his way through the system to find out whether you be a catalyst at some point for the team or not, but my thought when I first saw it was all these special teams guy, I know.
• 9:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought that the kid could challenge with Harry Stephenson been in his last season, perhaps, as far as on his rookie deal, and them not having another necessarily Brownery guy.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we saw his off-fraiser, who was raved about, but was out last year, was then Alex's waving was sent by by that.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think that the kid would have a chance, again, we don't know, but I think the kid could have a chance.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then real quick, last one for me, Jay Hode very quickly, is there a free agent that's still out there now that the draft is done and free agency will now continue through training camp.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is there a guy out there that you were like, ah, D might be a really good addition for this football team.
• 9:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I keep seeing the the also runs of a deep end of line in life.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want your debut on clowning on the bears.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, just there's some names out there.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just like guys that used to be good, I don't see, I could see some guys coming to camp, but I don't know about signing those guys.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not about money.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just about fit.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you can't find the bears that they want, bears that have bears DNA.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: And so if that means younger players, then I told you, I understand that.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see anyone in particular at this time, but it would not surprise me if Ryan told
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: to compete on that defense of blonde.
• 10:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Offensive long-wise, I think they have exactly what they want.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I think those names as well, I'll just kind of, you know, most names like that.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you know, often injured, you know, the last thing you want, Alex, and then you'll be the first one can to do this, right?
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: You'll be the first one.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: That veteran that comes in, comes in late, camps are right there.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: You've heard the horn, you need a horn, right?
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And here's the better to come in dragon is helmet behind him and he's not work really working out is kind of working out but not really, you know, and he tells the coaching that yeah, you know what I got a little something with the arm today, maybe we'll work out tomorrow, but not today he's staying out down the sideline watching.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: and he becomes the camp story and she feels like we didn't get writing about it just like, you know, this guy's supposed to be helping the young guys uh, got a little soldier here, man.
• 11:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: So and then you come to find out he's just kicking the leg force and restaurants he's smoking on the sidelines you know, he's over there, it's like veterans day off, gentlemen ah, gone out there, kid, gone out there, you know, you know what to do?
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't want that, you don't want that.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do you, you don't want that?
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: You don't want Vladi, all right, Jay, who is last one, forfpick Caleb Wilson or Camboos, at which one you want?
• 11:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Caleb Wilson, I was that NBA draft camp at Wimtrust.
• 11:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this young man already knows about history goals.
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jerry knows, yeah, like the whole history.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: He said his quote was,
• 12:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I saw the last dance.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know everything about the bulls.
• 12:08
  [UNKNOWN]: It was a good documentary.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Good show.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Never mind.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: I would have it before.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Norban Laird, like, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's camp loser because he will give you that every night.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know the lazy narrative is always Daddy's going to fade off from the fourth corner.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now that these are different Different ball player.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would choose Booser for me because I know he walks in the United Center Well it's 20 and 10 and you got to start someplace.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are no bad picks for the bulls That's the last one the few times I've ever said that at four there is no oh my god Ain't take my guy.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: That could be during day cuff.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: That could be any of those guys, but since you asked me those two
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll go with the loser.
• 13:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, young legend right there, you can check them out on under the hood, cap and jay hood every weekday morning.
• 13:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also, if you enjoy UIC sports when it comes to hoops and on the diamond, you got them right there, down at the hood.
• 13:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hoodie, you know how I feel about your man, appreciate you coming on and look forward to seeing you, man, and enjoy yourself.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you very much.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, guys.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
• 13:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, ready, man.
• 13:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: We want to thank, Hoodie.
• 13:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he got plans, and we got to let him go do hoodie plans.
• 13:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But a set up bro for joining this, definitely great times.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: And look, I did know Alex, I feel like, and this is on the bit's part that like, when I grew up, I had to use kitchen cleanser to clean off a lot of surfaces, particularly the bathroom.
• 13:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 13:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't feel like kids grow up using kitchen cleanser and having to do chores like we did growing up in the past.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: for what it's worth.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: This was not a sure idea.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is a child.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is a sure that I now do as an adult man.
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: See who is like me.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I really I grew up doing it.
• 14:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I grew up doing it.
• 14:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: My point was Alex that I don't know if people would get it because if you are of a younger than the graphic and you haven't lived except out on your own you may have not used kitchen cleanser now okay now we did use it at summer camp and we used Ajax because we had to clean when I I went to summer camp and we had to clean everything ourselves the Adi Adi Adi Adi Adi we were in charge of that stuff Ajax on everything by the way.
• 14:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: And you can use Ajax and comment on like everything.
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Don't just use it.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I've stoves.
• 14:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Bath tub, toilet.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: If it's got, if it's got grime.
• 14:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Man, that stuff works real good.
• 14:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: But yes, I love that this is our big takeaway from the Jay Hood conversation and I'm going to echo that.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you Jay Hood.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: That was awesome.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like what a, I mean, he's one of the best.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's one of the best.
• 15:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was great having him on the show and I love that our, our big takeaway is our kids really not scrubbing this it.
• 15:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Please let us know parents.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Or if you're a younger, if you're a, if you're a child of someone, I guess we're all child of something.
• 15:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you haven't yet struck out on your own, are you really not scrubbing?
• 15:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, again, it's a good short.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: You put on the headphones.
• 15:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: You put on the podcast.
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: You zen out.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: And again, like, man, housekeeping, that's expensive.
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's expensive.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Listen, I know we're all we're all looking for time here and there.
• 15:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
• 15:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I I genuinely enjoy it as a chore.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: There are some chores.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hate doing the dishes makes me mad.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Folding laundry can't stand it.
• 15:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, but let me scrub.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let me scrub.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: It feels good.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It feels good.
• 16:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: Describe.
• 16:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Malik Muhammad, do you, do you envision?
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we've talked about Malik Muhammad as being a guy that could perhaps some part of this season, maybe due to injury, maybe due to the fact.
• 16:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And one of the things that Hudi was talking about were Eva Fluss guys that may not meet what the new standard is under Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, do you look at Malik Allen is being more of a special team or or a god that has much more potential to be someone that's a boundary quarterback?
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: God, I'm imagining yes.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: He has potential.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Jay had it was kind of be like, yeah, he better be on special teams.
• 16:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: He should participate on special teams.
• 16:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That should definitely be a part of his situation.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and I think was noted for being a solid special team or a Texas if memory serves.
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but absolutely, I mean, just look at last year with Nishon right.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Even Nishon right came up to this team and nobody thought that he was gonna have an opportunity to start right And he was like, oh, they're adding a depth guy.
• 17:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're adding a big lung guy who looks like Al Harris and in case one of the starters goes down They'll have some good depth
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Dude became, like, one of the faces of the defense last year, you know, not just a starter, but a playmaker on that defense.
• 17:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: So when you look at that, you have to give.
• 17:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: Malik Muhammad a chance to once again be the guy who turns heads and once again be a guy who wins that job because if, you know, they didn't hand Tyre Stevenson the job last year.
• 17:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: Why would they hand Tyre Stevenson the job?
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, as you were talking, I'm thinking about something and this could just be me hoping this is probably a hope.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because there's not enough in a bears program track record that you could say the track records where these coaches were a pride of this, that they should be given this benefit of the doubt.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you mentioned the shine right, and my thought goes to who would have thought the shine right, flop, but still one of the most essential parts of the success to blast season as far, particularly early on when they couldn't score the ball, right, given the offense more opportunities in scoring the ball, so.
• 18:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you think about out here and that connection, but also out here is being that defensive back coach and what the what Maddie before, not Maddie was Ben Johnson talked about as far as coaching up being better coaches, right?
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I flip that also to Dan Rochar and how you look at how one don't know right had his best season of the Dan Rochar, right?
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The old bin in it now, you could say, you know, the year before when he first when they first brought him to the program, he didn't get a chance.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, I'm sure you're right.
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he still had his best pro-year under Dan Rochar, uh, guy that they said that it was too much for him to try to be a left tackle, uh, while trying to join the program, they have to stick him at right behind a guy that could be a pro-broller and down there right, which means,
• 19:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: what value you really really have ended up going to left and being really really good for where they drafted them and how many reps you had to split in training camp in Aussie, Chapillo.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it makes me think about the chances that there may be those guys again this year.
• 19:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, they may not reach the heights.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there could be a DB that our hair spots let alone, well, brings in and, and, and, and, and trains up.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: There could be a, a Jesuit willus who did have some success proud of injuries at Cleveland that could come in here under that.
• 19:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Or it could be another lineman that we didn't necessarily don't know.
• 19:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: because the thing now compared to in the past is it seems particularly one you have been Johnson and you know he can teach but it seems like their teachers under the head coach and that you know that it's not a I'm not trying to take a shot at CMO and Chris Morgan Formals office of Lycos because I don't know the value of the I don't know the potential and the ceiling of the guys they gave him well no I do know they gave him terrible
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: terrible players outside of down there right they really didn't give them much I apologize Simone that they tear and and Tevin Jenkins was out the Larry Borham thing went left after him coming in.
• 20:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was, it was eight days.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Cody White, I don't mention they Davis.
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: They Davis.
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned they Davis showed up to pick his checkup like this.
• 20:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 20:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: That is kind of they was putting a ski mask on.
• 20:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 20:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that one, that one alone, the Nate Davis, the, the outcry of what you heard in front and behind the scenes about Nate Davis early on was like, oh, my God,
• 20:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: But my point still being that it seems like they actually have teachers and perhaps coaches that can take a guy that's at one level and along with that guy trying help him get to another level and that hasn't been something that we've been seeing in this program for a long period of time.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely absolutely so.
• 21:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you and I have I'll say I'll put this on me I've done a lot of hand ringing.
• 21:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: about the influx of talent and the how it's going to be tough sledding.
• 21:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is going to be tough sledding ahead for the bears to defend their division title.
• 21:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But the bears do deserve some benefit of the doubt for it's been a while since we've said that.
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: When's last time I said the bears deserve some benefit now.
• 21:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: But
• 21:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: rivals, Ben Johnson, the staff that he's put together and the players, all of them, like the way that this thing is going, they do deserve a little benefit of the doubt that, hey, okay, you know, you can win a moan that they didn't add defensive linemen, but
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: they've earned a little benefit of the doubt that there can be development and there can be growth even without the influx of talent in positions where a lot of people expected there to be influx of talent.
• 22:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I think even with benefit of doubt, and I think what you're saying is right to kind of hold back on it because the sample size is small, but I guess it could be the fact of what I've seen in the past is what makes me have more hope springs eternal because
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: you haven't seen.
• 22:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't that our Harris became great, but he became sustainable, but and he also had elite heights at times.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like that, it just seeing coaches be able to do that and on the fly too, because these guys weren't getting crazy reps in training camp makes you kind of feel that, you know, maybe this staff is a staff that can really do something outside of just having a brilliant offensive money here coach.
• 23:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, we got some for quick extra point.
• 23:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Go right ahead.
• 23:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, I'll bring you the extra point today.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Kenneth Davis, are you a fan of Campy B. Gory Horror Comedy Movies?
• 23:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm probably.
• 23:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Probably, okay, Sam Rainy's latest.
• 23:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Sam Rainy is one of my favorite filmmakers in this space.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: This is the man who brought you the Spider-Man trilogy, which was like, whoa, okay.
• 23:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: But for me, Sam Rainy is the guy who brought us the evil dead trilogy and drag me to hell, which is outside of the evil dead trilogy, but it's very much,
• 23:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a spiritual successor.
• 23:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: It hits all the same notes.
• 23:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: It hits all the same plot points.
• 23:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is gory.
• 23:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is campy.
• 23:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is like you're watching through your fingers at times.
• 23:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: And you're laughing throughout it.
• 23:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: His latest film.
• 23:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: send help, starring Rachel McAdams.
• 24:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I thought is just another wonderful work in that in that ilk.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you like evil dead, if you like drag me to hell, you're going to like send help.
• 24:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's streaming on Disney plus, which blows my mind.
• 24:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: The Disney plus,
• 24:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hulu that packet that family of dub services.
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: So we are waiting for this hit streaming.
• 24:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is now finally streaming.
• 24:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: And if this sounds like something up your alley, check it out.
• 24:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So so you know what you're going to get.
• 24:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get the blood.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get the gross.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get some over the top violence.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: But you're also going to get some subverted expectations.
• 24:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: What really works for me.
• 24:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like yes, it's funny.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's gross.
• 24:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's all these things.
• 24:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: But
• 24:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: in ways that evil dead, in ways that drag me to hell, kind of like they are predictable at a lot of moments, you know exactly what is gonna happen and that's part of the comfort of it.
• 24:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: In the biggest moments, in the most important moments, you don't know what's gonna happen.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: So by the end of this film, I am actually on the edge of my seat, being like, whoa,
• 25:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: How is this going to resolve?
• 25:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Truly like, for 80 minutes, you like, I know exactly what is going to happen in the next five minutes.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: You do that the whole thing.
• 25:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: But by the end, it is so tense.
• 25:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is so thrilling.
• 25:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: It is such a fun ride like what a wonderful popcorn film and Rachel McAdams also hats off to her playing a role I've never seen her play.
• 25:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: She is Rachel McAdams.
• 25:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: She's a superstar.
• 25:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: She always plays the beautiful woman.
• 25:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: She here is playing the Nebuchie socially awkward.
• 25:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: It got the food on her face, got the bad breath, got the bad style, got the beddraggled hair.
• 25:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: It seems like a left turn for Rachel McAdams.
• 25:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: She plays it so, so well, I realize I didn't give you a log line.
• 25:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: This woman is trying to work her way up in corporate America, but she's being passed up by fret bros who just know each other in our party boys, even though she deserves the big promotion.
• 26:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Plane crash happens.
• 26:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: She and her boss are stranded on the island and all of a sudden because she is,
• 26:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: She loves Survivor.
• 26:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, now you're in my world, Mr. A hilarity ensues.
• 26:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, send help.
• 26:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I loved it.
• 26:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Kenneth, it was good fun.
• 26:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 26:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was really into, and again, I don't think this, he may have produced it or just allowed them to use it.
• 26:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, the evil dead had a series that was leading a little stars.
• 26:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Ash versus the evil dead.
• 26:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 26:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I watched seasons of that.
• 26:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I watched seasons of that to say to Lee.
• 26:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yes, I'm with you.
• 26:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, and I'm a fan of hers.
• 26:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So everybody check that out.
• 26:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Alex is leaving us a straight.
• 26:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is there anything else else you want to
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now that's it.
• 26:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's that's that's in early movie one.
• 26:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's going to be a part of my Oscar list.
• 26:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's going to be a part of my Oscar list.
• 26:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so either.
• 26:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't be one of my personal faves.
• 27:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 27:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is it for Alex Shapiro.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of Davidson.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks again for Jay Hood.
• 27:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Check him out and cap in Jay Hood.
