• 2:50
  Speaker 1: plus version. I'm such a weener though I knew it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was going to happen. I went to New York City
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: last week for Good Morning Football and it was a blast,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and you could just feel like New York City is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: so hot right now. It's on a whole other level.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I love New York. But in the summer, it's just
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: like you walk outside and you're just like immediately sticky.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is like a breeding ground for her
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: COVID right now on the train and restaurants in cars.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So it got my ass all right, and I bow
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: down to the I have COVID. So anyways, that's why
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we're at home, and that's why we are still doing
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the podcast this way, even though I was so excited
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to come into the office and see you guys and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: make Justin try spam, which has been literally what I've
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: been waiting the whole entire summer for. But here we are,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and this actually might be the worst part about it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It's a national holiday today that I was really looking
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: forward to celebrating with you guys. It's National hot Dog Day.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We could have gone all out, but that's not gonna
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: happen anymore. MO. You said that you've got some random
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: hot dog stories. I asked, these guys, have I told
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: my Russia hot dog story on this podcast? And they
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: were like, yes, for those of you that haven't heard that,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I almost died in Russia at the World Cup because
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I ate too many hot dogs. I don't even know
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: if I need to go further than that. I kind
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of wanted to remain a little bit of a mystery
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: if people haven't heard that story. But I know you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: have a gall bladder. I no longer have a gallbladder.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Let's just say that, MO, what's your random hot dog facts?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I hope you spent like an hour looking up because
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that's a beautiful image. No definitely not. Guess how many
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars the US spent on hot dogs last year?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Hot dogs and sausages me alone is about one one
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: billion America billions. Okay, so it's in the billions. Yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: three and a half. It's seven and a half. Okay,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I guess crazier. Uh No. The global hot dog and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: sausage market is value was valued at sixty nine point
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: three billion in twenty eighteen and is expected to reach
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: eighty and a half billion by the end of twenty
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: twenty five. We are such sickos in this country. Okay.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Can you guess which city in the US eats the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: most manat I would have to go with New York. No,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'll give you it's it's closer than you think, closer
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to us. Randon is Los Angeles. Yeah, it's La. No,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it is not feeding those numbers because I consume so many, Yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: thirty million pounds of hot dogs, and Dodger fans consume
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: two point seven million in twenty nineteen. That's what I
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: was Camels, like, it's got to be some kind of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Dodger dogs, the street dogs out on every LA street
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at night, Like I had a veggie dog when we
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: went to the Dodgery game. Does that can accounts? I
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: wonder what a veggie Dodger dog would taste like. I'm
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: gonna try that. Speaking of I wonder if we can
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: go on something, if we're going to travel it all
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this year, which I hope that we get to do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit of. Um, I think we need to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: rate some like stadium foods. I know people have done
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it before, but like, forget about all the other stadium
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: food I want hot dogs. That's all I want. It's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: gonna rate the hot dogs. See what the NFL stadium
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: hot dog situation is, Like, we can crown a winner.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think that we actually need to. That's a journey
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that I think we need to go on this year.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Do you think Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has hot dogs? Why? Oh,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because of London. They've got two. They had them in Russia,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they had them everywhere in Russia. Yeah. The average American
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: eats around seventy hot dogs a year. Um, okay, that
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: is actually kind of insane. Yeah, more than once per week.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: That's insane. The average American eats more than seventy hot
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: dogs per year. Well, what if someone has season tickets
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to their baseball team, and they get yeah, that's more
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: than one. That's that's a lot of ye and then
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: fourth of July and that can't be once a year.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You can't. That's no. But if you eat, if you're
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: having a cookout, I don't care. It can't be right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It's we could say, listeners, if you are one of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the people eating seventy hot dogs per year, we still
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: scale scale it, pack a little bit for your own house.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Right now, you live your truth. I am right there
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: with you. You live your truth. The standard beef hot
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: dog is averages one hundred and ninety calories, which isn't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that bad. It's not that bad. It's not that bad.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So we don't have to feel at these people are
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: onto something. Okay, I like that, even though it has
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: destroyed part of my body already. Okay, let's talk about
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: some football. Last week, it was so fun being a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: good morning football because it was just like right background
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of the swing of things. I think today marks fifty
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: days out, fifty days out from the season. We cannot
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be more excited. I think we're gonna go to some
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: camps coming up in the next few weeks. As soon
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as I'm not u having COVID. I also got asked.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is public knowledge, but I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: got asked to be a part of a celebrity flag
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: football game with Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey. What is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: my body about to be just crushed under NFL players?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So anyways, we got a lot of good things coming
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: up down down the road here. Um, but here are
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: some things that are happening in the NFL world right now.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: First off, I really want to hear your guy's opinion
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about this. So Rob Grunkowski's girlfriend, Camille Caustick, Kosteck whatever
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it is. Fun fact, actually she beat me out for
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: hosting wipe Out. It was me and her in the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: final round there and she just snatched it out of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: my hands. But she's great. Anyways, she came out. I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm allowed to tell you guys that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: she came out and said I when she was asked
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about do you think Gronk's retirement is going to last?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: She's this is spicy, Okay, she says, I'm an honest lady,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't feel like this one is the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: forever one, So I think maybe he'll come back again.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like him and Tom are just having fun
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: like retired, not retired, retired not retired. This feels like
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pretty spicy because literally, just last week we were talking
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: about GK. Gronk was like, that's some kind of There
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was boats behind him, he had sunglasses on, he was
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: already looking like so tanned, like settling into his retirement,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and he said like, no, I'm done, I'm done. I'm done.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get into like some business opportunities blah
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah. So he himself has
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: come out to meet and said this is it, this
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: is real, and then literally a week later, not even
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend comes out and says like, well, I'm not
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: buying that. How would you guys feel if that happened
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to you, if you if you were Wronk okay, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you specifically said to the media, this is zick. Guys.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: If Tom calls, I will answer and say Tom, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: love you, but I'm not coming back. And then your
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: girlfriend literally turns around and says, no, I'm not buying
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that either. This is a this is all an elaborate scheme,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and Gronk knows he is coming back, which like we're
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: all shaking our heads like maybe that's the situation, um,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but like I don't know, maybe let let it play
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer, Like this is literally a week later.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: What do you guys, what do you guys think? Would
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you be? Are we skeptical of this retirement? Now? I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like it. This is I feel like he took something
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: out of Belichick's playbook for the drafts, where it's just
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: like you're mind effing everybody and you don't know what's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: real what's not real. Gronks said his piece, Gronk's agent
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: said his piece, Brady said his stuff, And now he's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: having his girlfriend come out and say, I don't know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. So at least he's staying relevant
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and people are talking about him, which we are, which
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: we got got that way yeah, and then that way
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: when he makes a decision, either way it can point.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, like, give us a little bit more,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: give us a little bit more time to like miss you,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: because you've just like NonStop been in the news like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the past few weeks. Give us a little bit more
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: time to be like, oh man, maybe this is like
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: maybe this is real, Maybe he's actually not coming back
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and instead. Like as soon as I saw that, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: was just like, this is all just like a scheme
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and it's all just like for making more money and
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: doing like it's just it just doesn't feel good as
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a fan. I don't know, Like, do you guys like
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the back and forth retired not retired thing, Like this
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is going to be a thing now, Yeah, it's true.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: M Gronkowski noted schemer, we have to point that out.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I think this feels like a scheme. I don't. I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't really mind it because in the offseason all
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: news is like give me the news. But at the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: same time, it's like, yeah, I do agree, like just
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: make a decision and go with it. But hey, sometimes
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you change your mind in life. Adam Rank was on
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Good Morning Football with me last week, and he made
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: a very good observation. He was just like, I wish
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that the NFL was more like the WWE, and like whatever,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: we don't hear from Gronk for a couple of weeks,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and then Game one comes and then there's like that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Gronk's music and then he like comes running out in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: his path and he's like, let's go the whole place.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Would go absolutely wild. If I were Gronk, I would
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: be like secretly training obviously to get rid of this
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: ready for the season, even though he doesn't even seem
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: like he does prepare much for the season. I would
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: literally like resign the day before the game, Like I
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: would make it as close as possible. I'd be like
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: showing up to like, you know, training camp and like
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: disguises and trying to like, I would make this such
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a show, because why not. If you're gonna do this, like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you might as well make it so exciting for the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: rest of us. You know, over under week eight Gronkowski
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: comes back. Oh o over so past week eight under under.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's there. I think he's there for a week.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He's got to make it more dramatic. The Bucks, the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Bucks are in danger of losing the division. Brady's frustrated
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: drama drama. See all of this is so cheesy, like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Brady just did this and then for you to do
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it too, like it's just so dorky a little, you know,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I'm in on the having things
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to talk about because literally it's July twentieth, and you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about what Russell Wilson has written
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: on his shoe at practice, you know what I mean?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So like I'm down for actual things to talk about anyway.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Speaking of so, he's back. He's coming back. It was
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Retirement's not real. We're calling it right now. You heard
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it here First on the Bench, been a podcast. We
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: have seen through the lies. That's it. He's coming back.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Speaking of this, Russell Wilson's shoe, he country Let's riot,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Liz Red. I gotta redo that, right. I gotta do that,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like you know the mimic videos. I gotta do that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: one right. I'm already starting to plan my videos for
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the season, Like that's gotta be I think, honestly, that's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: gotta be number one. Um, okay, So Russell Wilson, he's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: got this, I guess, post this like training clip on
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: his Instagram or on his Twitter, and he's wearing these
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: like orange cleats and on the bottom of the cleat
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: is a picture of the Lombardi Trophy and it says
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: forthcoming soon, referring to the Broncos have three Super Bowl
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: titles now fourth is coming soon. Yeah, we're all we're
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: all kind of like shaking her hands right now. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: don't think I what dog is that. I don't think
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that I really like when players call their shot like this.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It just seems, especially somebody like Russ, like he kind
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of seems like such a classy guy and above all
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of that nonsense, Like it just seems a little like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you're just gonna look, so do what are the benefits?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: You know, you win the Bowl and somebody's gonna be
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: like Russ had that written on his shoe at the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: beginning of the season, Like, no, okay, maybe somebody says
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that if you don't, people are gonna be like, look
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: what Russ had written on his shoe the beginning of
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the season before he even played a snap of football
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: with this team. I'm out on the major manifestations. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: can't remember who it was. Somebody last week said that
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they were going to be the best wide receiver in
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: like all of football, and it was just like, who
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: even are you? Chase Claypool said he was top three
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: in the league. Yeah, maybe that, Maybe that's what I
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was thinking of, but it's like top three, maybe top
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: thirty three. I get it. Like manifestations, great, I've put
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: some sneaky things on here trying to manifest Okay, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: get it. But am I like posting that to social media? No,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: because it's dorky and I understand that. But I guess
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this is part for the course. It's for us, right,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he is a little bit dorky. What do you guys
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: make of the manifestation on the cleats? Are you into
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it or are you out just him? I am into
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: manifesting as a concept. I've had some recent luck with
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: manifesting situations in my life where you just like tell
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: yourself every day that this is going to happen, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: then it has happened. But I don't know if that's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: like coincidence, ortain luck, or like it would have happened anyway,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: or if like does is their actual power in me
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: thinking that? I don't know. I feel like putting it
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: on your cleats as a mindset like cool, it's that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like like motivate you to work hard. I guess posting
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: it on social media though, that's where I'm like, come on, now,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you're just showing off, like well, it's just like it's
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: just you might as well tag old takes exposed, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you might as well. You might as well just like
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: go straight to the source, because that's what's going to happen.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: You're just setting yourself up. When are you manifesting these days?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Really, come on, give us something, no,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: just kind of do things and if it works, it works.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm testing a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: brand new set of footy pajamas with Batman all over it,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and it is going to be so cozy and comfy
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and it's going to arrive on my doorstep. I'm not,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I think really corny, really corny is like
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: super corny. But he's on a new team after his
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: whole career with the Seahawks. He's trying to rile up
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Bronco Nation and he's clearly doing a good job. Let's rite, Yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: he's a Bronco Nation, Bronco Country, sorry, Bronco Country. He
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: sounds like um, silk Sonic, like he could be a
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: part of Silk Sonic with that. Can we play it again,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Broncos Country. Let's rite what if we made like some
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: kind of jazzy like Broncos and use that as like, okay,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: all right, idea incoming, idea incoming. I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: lie hop on the piano after this and just like, okay,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: we are making that. That is in my brain now. Um,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: all right, moving on rest. We love you. You You are
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit door key, but we still love you. Um.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Madden ratings came out. Everyone's kind of, you know, saying
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: their peace about it. Jamar Chase he was not on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the top ten, which is interesting. He said, I'm gonna
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: keep working extra motivation. Aren't you guys surprised by that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: It's a little crazy to me. Yeah. You know. ESPN's
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: doing this like series where they like get all the
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: executives and anonymous scouts and gms and people to rank
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: positionally across the league, and Jamar Chase was number two
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: in their wide receiver rankings, which was a little eyebrow
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: raising for me. It's like, he only played one season,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he's already the second best receiver in the league. But
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to not even be in Manden's top ten is absolutely
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: two seems strong. But he played in the frekin Super
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Bowl and he did a really fun season last year,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: so but like, yeah, not even making it. So he said,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep working extra motivation. Tom Brady responded to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Jamar Chase on Twitter, don't sweat it, man, Madden didn't
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: even put me in the game my second year. The
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: disrespect that Tom Brady's had throughout his career is just
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: makes me. It makes me giggle. Colts tweeted, we just
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: want to talk after Madden put Jonathan Taylor at number
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: four of top ten running backs, and then also Debo tweeted,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I think he was left off of lists. I don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: trip about Madden ratings. The only game I ever play
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: is NBA two K. I love that too. I feel
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like you can't let it bother I mean, if you
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: are going to let it bother you be Jamar Chase
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and let it like fuel you to be you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: this have like a crazy year. But also that seems
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: so funny, like I'm gonna go out there and crush
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: because a video game Like it's Yeah, I think it's sad. Yes,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's sad too, Like I don't think that
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I I would let that bother me. I liken it
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to like, you know, it's kind of like social media
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: in the way, like people are just going to talk
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: trash about everything that you make, whether it's good or not,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and some people aren't going to watch it, and some
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: people you're gonna do your own thing, like you're in
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the NFL and you're making millions of dollars, Like why
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: who cares? Do you think that? Like these guys hang
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: out and they're all together, and you're like, oh, you know,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: so and so you're a ninety seven rating and I'm
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a ninety eight, So like got you? Like no one?
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like no one actually cares about that stuff.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I know. I think it would make like pretty good
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: like fodder on the field if they're aware of those things.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: But then they're just You're just a loser of someone's
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: because we're getting ready for a season, Like, yeah, I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm out on the caring about mad rainings.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think you should. I think you should be
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: about more like Deebo Samuel and just play other video
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: games if they if they trash you, I quit. I'm
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: playing NBA two K all right. Coming up after the break,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: we are kicking them off. More teams on the benched Bachelorette,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Who will stay? Who will go? The roses are flying,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. Oh. It is both my least favorite
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and my favorite time of the show. All season long,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I have been trying to find a new team to
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: fall in love with on the Benched Bachelorette. We've kicked
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: off a lot of teams, We've sent a lot of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: teams packing, and we still have quite a few remaining.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: And like I said at the top of the show,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: it was only fifty more days left. Maybe yea. We
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: got to break some hearts today and we're going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: continue to break those hearts until the rest of the season.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I gotta say my top three has changed. My top
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: three if you can hear what I am saying, has
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: changed in the last few weeks. Okay, there's a team
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: that's very much in the mix that was not in
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the mix now they are. Does that have to do
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: with Baker Mayfield at all? Perhaps, I will say, speaking
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of Baker, this team was very much still in the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: mix because it was an option for him to go to.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: And that is, Oh, this is going to break some hearts.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, your time has come on this show. I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: was making some notes. We have this like Google doc
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that we work on, and I was just writing some
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: notes down while I was like looking through these teams,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and I accidentally wrote something next to the Seahawks that
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: these two could see. And I was not aware that
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they could see it, but I wrote, I'll confess I wrote,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: no redeeming quality. That's so mean, that that's so mean
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that I don't actually mean it. Okay, there's some there's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: some qualities. Like here's what I'm thinking. Pete Carroll's seventy
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: years old. He is the oldest coach in the NFL. Like,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: why is he not on a beach sipping my tie somewhere?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: I just I'm not I'm not into it. Okay, it's
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: not set. It's not a sexy team. There's not a
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: good vibe. Also, look at the who's who's your quarterback?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Drew Locke, Gino Smith. I do like Gino and I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: think he had some really fun moments last year when
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he got to play. But it's just it's not somebody
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: that I am. It's not a team that I'm attracted
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to you right now? Um, they I take it back.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like I got heated in the moment and
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I said something in an argument and I said no
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: redeeming qualities. That was rude. I take that back, but um,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it's not you, it's me just kidding. It's very much
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you Seahawks. Goodbye, Moving on the next team that I
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: will be letting go of on the bench, Patrick Larette
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is going to be Please have the clip ready of
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Barunka Country, Let's ride. You are out of here,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Broncos Country, Let's Ride. I feel like he jinks. Did
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he jinks the whole season by putting that on his
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: dang shoes the fourth Lombardi. Um, I'm just I'm I'm
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: out on the Broncos Country. Let's Ride. I don't think
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: that I would enjoy going to a game and seeing
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that up on the JumboTron. It haunts my dreams. Um.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I also don't know what this team is going to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: look like at all, so could be great. I mean,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Jerry Judy right, and he's got some weird
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: things happened this summer, but hopefully that's I think that
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: those things are so I don't know. Um, Broncos Country,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: we will not be riding tonight. I'm so sorry, pack
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: your Broncos Country, Let's Rite. Thank you the final team
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to go. Um, there were some gasps, you can, I'd
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: say in the chat when I decided to let go
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of this team. I'm curious to see why that there
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: were there were some gasps because I think it's it's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to come as a surprise.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get rid of the New Orleans Saints.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: No Drew Brees, no Sean Peyton, Jameis Winston. I enjoy
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: watching Um, but he refuses to stop eating w's and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that makes me sick to my stomach. So many, so
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: many germs, And I don't like when people like, you know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: when Drew Brees, he's like lick his fingers, like every
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: time I watched it. I just I couldn't do it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna do it again. So Jamis Jamison,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the Saints, please pack your bags. Um, you are also
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: kicked off the bench Bachelorette Island. Ye see, Jamis just
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: does the best offseason workout videos, like such crazy nonsense
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that he is always doing, and it's so fun to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: follow his nonsense. I will confess a little behind the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: scenes look at what's happening with me and the Saints.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: So I was hoping that eventually we would get back
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: in studio to tape a podcast. Yeah, and that we
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: could have Mark Sessler join us on the pod as
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a guest to talk through some teams because for anyone
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: who doesn't know, Mark Sessler, a lifelong Browns fan, has
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: disowned Browns just like you because of their offseason moves here.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So I know for a fact that Mark was strongly
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: considering the Saints as a team to jump to, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I thought that could have been a cool conversation. But
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the Saints aren't the only team he's considering. And if
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you can't deal with Jamis shoving his entire hand in
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: his mouth, I don't think anyone can blame you for that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Let's try and get Mark on the pod next week,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: because we are starting getting to get down to the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: nitty gritty here, and I think that we can help
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: each other are out, So let's put that invitation out
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: into the world because he hasn't been on this pod
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: just him yet, and I think that would be very
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: fun and maybe we can find love together. You know. Yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: well I'll get on that. Like I said, my top
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: three has changed, so this is interesting now. I think
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: that it could go many different ways and I'm very excited.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think that my number one would actually surprise people
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to know what it is like. I've not told you, guys,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you have no idea I think you know, you think
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you think that you know. I will say my number
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: one is not Carolina. It's not Carolina. It hasn't changed
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that much. They're in the mix. Okay, so I need
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: to see what the next few weeks look like. But
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: m guys, that is it for our pod. We are
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: hopefully going to be back in studio and normal people
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: sitting next to each other. Graver is going to be
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: eating spam. Maybe we'll throw a couple of hot dogs
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: in the mix. That sounds like a gnarly little lunch,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: but okay, delicious to me. Thanks for listening every single week.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You guys are so sweet. I see all your messages
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and it's this pot has been really fun and I
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: can't wait to just like get back into it and
