1:44
to call it. Done deal. Then by the end, we can
1:48
just be like, after football, we'll be like,
1:55
episode 20. or whatever, and just minus one.
1:59
It'll be fine. It'll work out. We'll forget it.
2:01
We're going to semantics, logistics, whatever.
2:05
Yeah. How was your week? Busy as always. Lots
2:10
of work. Yeah. Lots of football. There's a little
2:15
bit of depression near the end of the football.
2:17
Sunday afternoon was a little rough. Hey, all
2:20
I'm going to say for me, at least your team hasn't
2:22
lost yet this week. My team hasn't lost because
2:24
we played tonight. Obviously, obviously, you
2:27
can see we're getting away a Jersey tonight.
2:29
So obviously, anytime we're doing a podcast and
2:32
you see a Jersey, that's the one that was given
2:35
away. That's the one that's going to be given
2:36
away. Right. Yeah. So obviously, y 'all are not
2:38
going to see this live because you are done doing
2:41
that classic, too. I like these ones. But what
2:44
I'm going to say is if you see a Jersey, that
2:47
means we are at Clubhouse recording. So y 'all
2:51
need to come out because you have a chance to
2:54
win a Jersey. And I'm going to say this and you're
2:57
going to, you're going to join me on this is
2:59
we do not rig it. We let random people draw the
3:03
names every week. I hate it so much. If you like,
3:10
if for some reason you come to club house and
3:13
you're sitting at our table and you win, we did
3:15
not rig it for you to win. Trust us. I actually
3:19
hate it. Like this is like. Two weeks in a row
3:25
random people both doing the draw and it's a
3:28
been a person within arms length of me Yes, like
3:31
how's that even happen? This place is huge. This
3:33
place is too big for us to guess the same names
3:36
Yeah, we want we want fresh people want fresh
3:40
faces. Oh for sure for sure What new people maybe?
3:45
Maybe this week we can create a new Eagles fan.
3:49
I would love that but I know That's the favorite
3:52
part about giving away jerseys. That's true.
3:54
You're either giving it out to somebody who really
3:57
wants it or someone who is just getting into
4:00
football and they're like, I don't have any jerseys.
4:02
Then you get a jersey and now you're like, well,
4:05
that's the only jersey I have. So I support this
4:09
team. Obviously, it's a hurt she's ever given
4:12
away today. I know this is like insider thing
4:15
for me and I'm going to be sending this to somebody
4:17
that I work with who lives in Kansas. who is
4:20
a Kansas City Chiefs fan is just like, hey, I
4:25
am not going to be whining tonight when we win
4:27
and beat Chicago Bears with a backup quarterback,
4:31
a .k .a. Chase Keenum. That's all I'm going to
4:33
say right now. I'm done. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I was
4:42
the dolphins put up a bigger fight than I thought
4:44
they were going to. Unfortunately, not that their
4:47
season was ever really going anywhere. But it's
4:49
if it wasn't over before, it's definitely over
4:52
now because a chance out. Yes. He torn ACL. He's
4:55
gone. Yes. Same with the Giants pass rusher.
5:00
Oh, yeah. He tore his ACL. I that's the one thing
5:05
I hate about football. There's that there's so
5:08
many injuries like. I my buddy, I was playing
5:14
this week, Jason. Commissioner of our league.
5:19
Great guy I I'm gonna beat him Because he had
5:26
four players go down stop He had it's funny because
5:31
he was the guy that was trying to trade me Tyler
5:34
show for I When dart went down, yeah, but I had
5:40
Sam Darnold that jumped in and lit it up, but
5:43
He had a Chan Jefferson I. Mike Evans. Yep. Came
5:54
back was healthy to get carted off. Yeah, yeah,
5:58
but like. Ah, who is the other one he had anyway?
6:03
His old team was going down and I was like. Oh,
6:06
I try it. Both of them. I both a chance. Oh damn
6:13
damn. Funniest thing I saw was like oh. The second
6:18
A Chan's been hit. I'm like, Oh God, I can't
6:21
say that. Hey, it's unfortunate because like
6:24
in football injuries are a part of the game.
6:27
Injuries are part of fantasy football. They are,
6:29
but they don't make it better. I know it's it
6:32
humanizes it to a degree, but it's still, it
6:35
makes it impossible for fantasy. Like fantasy
6:37
football ends up being like whoever's team has
6:40
stayed consistently. randomly selected players.
6:44
So don't pick a San Francisco player. Yeah. Yeah,
6:47
seriously. That that power plan is working overtime.
6:51
She's all right. Let's go. So before the game,
6:53
true, true, true, true, true. All right, let's
6:56
create some bills. You shout out to clubhouse.
7:00
Every week we are clubhouse giving away a jersey,
7:04
especially on Monday nights, you get half price
7:06
wings, great drinks, specials. Great environment
7:10
you get us great out there like come on if you're
7:13
not a clubhouse. What are you doing? Call club
7:16
you can always call clubhouse and say you want
7:18
to book one of the sims for a game Hey, that's
7:22
what we do after a game. We said we sit at the
7:25
nice couches here Yeah, we watch the game on
7:27
the wall size TV and then when we want to like
7:31
deep dive There's a side TV. Yeah, that's like
7:34
real close. Obviously, you know It's always great.
7:37
Got the sound on. It's great. For sure. For sure.
7:42
Shout out to Pest Case scenario. If you have
7:44
any of that situation, obviously it's getting
7:46
a little colder out there. So mice are going
7:48
to be really prevalent coming up. So if you have
7:51
any openings or you notice any skittering in
7:54
the wall, call Pest Case. This is probably your
7:56
Pest Case scenario. Pest Case is the best case.
7:59
Right. Right. Shout out. Yeah. And then obviously
8:03
Milky Way apparel. Get your merch there. Yours
8:06
is coming. I was gonna say I still got mine coming.
8:09
Yours is coming. Yours is coming. Looking forward
8:11
to it. Yeah. The sweater is going to be here
8:13
right in time. Hey, high quality products right
8:16
at your doorstep. So hey, yours is coming. Other
8:20
than that, yeah. Yeah, I feel it. So it's funny.
8:26
Like as much as I love like going through all
8:28
the like the the cool stuff we do like all sponsors
8:31
and everything. That's one of the things that
8:35
drives me nuts about some podcasts, but they
8:37
have like 10 minutes of going like Like I know
8:40
we're just doing it off the cuff and we're just
8:42
like yeah support these guys. We support this
8:45
support that Cool, we get it in get it out get
8:49
the message out. Yeah It is what it is, but then
8:52
you have some that will be like like a TV You
8:56
know like TV. It's like it in an hour Episode
9:00
they'll be like sure back in the back in the
9:02
day when commercials were a thing Maybe like
9:04
20 minutes of commercials. So the show's only
9:07
40 minutes. Sometimes listening to podcasts are
9:11
like that. It'll be like every 10 minutes there's
9:14
a five minute commercial and you're like, this
9:17
is insane. It is. It drives me nuts. Like starting
9:22
a podcast and like you have to like fast forward
9:25
through the first like eight minutes of it until
9:28
you like hear the talking. You're not wrong.
9:29
You're not wrong. But like I get they're paying
9:32
bills. But like running a podcast ain't cheap.
9:35
No. No, it's not right It's not cheap. Obviously
9:40
the equipment is pretty expensive to get sometimes
9:43
There's a lot of variables that go in so I do
9:45
get it But you're not wrong because I'd rather
9:49
listen to them talk about a topic Not about them
9:52
paying the bills to get there, right? It's like
9:55
I know wrong like I'm Watching a podcast to listen
10:00
to the people talk not to sell me cryptocurrency
10:05
and gambling and Viagra. Like, you know what
10:13
I mean? Oh, they all have Bluetooth. It's a thing.
10:17
You know what I'm talking about. I want to exactly
10:19
see Alice. No, it's not. It's all Bluetooth.
10:23
Oh, yeah. You're not wrong. You're not wrong.
10:26
You're not wrong. But I feel like they all go
10:28
through like random spurts. Like manscape was
10:32
like a man. It was huge. It was a big sponsor
10:34
for everybody. I got so long The amount of people
10:39
were like it got huge and then it got to the
10:42
point where now it's in Walmart So now you don't
10:44
see it in podcasts. Yeah, right It is funny how
10:48
they like they do that then it gets just big
10:50
enough to get into the stores and then it's like
10:52
Into the stores and it's out and you're like
10:54
you don't see any commercial brand recognition.
10:56
That's all it is brand recognition Yeah, all
10:59
it is. That's half the battle What we're doing
11:01
right now is we're doing brand recognition for
11:03
obviously Monday, right? Yeah. They're not sponsored
11:08
to us yet. Hopefully soon. You never know. One
11:12
day, one day. Hopefully on a Monday. Monday.
11:17
So they agree. Obviously right next to us is
11:21
a there is a bunch of people who are doing. Mini
11:25
putt. Mini putt right now. So that's one of the
11:27
great things that club has, right? Yeah. You
11:28
got me. You got the mini putt. You got the simulators.
11:31
You can do a million different games on. You

12:43
thought that was this. I thought this was pretty
12:47
sure. OK, I'm pretty sure he's doing the. His
12:49

12:52
right. Fair, fair. Well, like there's so many
12:56
people that would like from like boomers that

13:02
sweet. They're getting to do these events in

13:08
But the best part is it's happening here. Yeah.
13:11
In the most ridiculous events. complex in the
13:15
city. It's getting bigger and bigger and it's
13:17
just upstairs, just upstairs from us. So that
13:20

13:24
to them. Like proud of them for posting it. Shout
13:26
out to everyone who's going. Obviously we can
13:30
say we want everyone to win, but let's be honest.
13:32
No, I don't. Nah, no, I want all our guys to
13:35
win. Nah. I think it was last time we saw Joe
13:41
fight. Uh, something happened with his bicep.
13:46
Yes. No, the guy he fought, the guy he fought
13:51
pulled his bicep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Something,
13:54
some, some sort of injury happened and it's like,
13:56
uh, those are unfortunate, but, uh, it still
13:59
blows my mind how, how often Jay fights. It's
14:03
true. I feel like he's like every three weeks.
14:09
Oh, you talking about Jay? Yeah. Yeah. Well,
14:12
he had a goal. He needed to hit a certain amount
14:13
of face before he turned old in boxing terms
14:17
before he was master. So I think he hit that
14:20
target before his birthday. And now it's just
14:23
like he's now he's just in the in the group.
14:27
Yeah. Well, it's the same thing with everything
14:29
when you're you're in it. You're grinding it
14:33
for so long. Then you if you take a step back
14:37
and like take some time off. Same thing with
14:40
us when we took some time off of the podcast.
14:43
We come back, we're a little bit rusty, have
14:46
a few hiccups, but when you're on that roll,
14:51
sometimes it's just easier to keep it running.
14:54
It's so true. It's so true. Talking about keeping
14:57
it running, I got to talk about lanterns. I'm
15:02
talking about lanterns. I know you didn't watch
15:05
the last episode. Is this because Halloween is
15:07
coming up? Oh my god, I'm just kidding. You're
15:09
hilarious. We're almost I'm one episode behind
15:12
your one episode behind and like obviously lanterns
15:16
is eight episodes long. So next week is going
15:19
to be the season finale. And then I'm going to
15:21
probably hop onto the new vision quest because
15:24
that's Marvel. So we'll see. We'll see if it
15:28
keeps the same interest. But man, lanterns is
15:32
if you still haven't had a chance to watch lanterns.
15:36
Get on it because I know you're I feel like yeah,
15:38
I remember when you saying like episode 6 feels
15:42
like the end Felt like season finale five. So
15:45
she was a five. Yeah, that would have been five
15:48
Yeah, yeah, cuz then six is like there's a time
15:52
skip And then and then now it'll get it's gonna
15:57
get into the story if you say so I'm assuming
16:03
I feel like it has to. Yo, I am telling you,
16:06
if you have not caught onto lanterns, you need
16:10
to right now. How many of your kids have watched
16:16
Lantern? A few. A few? A few. I incorporate it
16:21
in my drills. A few have. A few in your drills?
16:24
Yes. Yes. How do you incorporate watching a TV
16:27
show in your drills? Sometimes you have to find
16:28
ways to relate to kids on a different level,
16:31
obviously. A lot of parents do with the whole
16:34
six, seven and all these other learning all the
16:41
terms. Yeah. All I'm saying is watch lanterns.
16:49
I learned one from a kid last week. Okay. Something,
16:52
something mac and cheese. And I was like, I'm
16:55
so confused right now. And then they were just
16:58
like, I don't know. It's just whatever it is.
17:01
And I was like, That does not explain anything
17:05
to me at all. And I'll I just left that conversation
17:08
feeling old. I was like, all right, cool. It's
17:13
fair. It's fair. Like I'm more lost than ever.
17:16
It's usually the case once, once we get older,
17:19
we get more and more attached to the younger
17:23
generations. But yeah, actually there's one guy
17:26
who like kind of blends all the generations together
17:30
and that's BMO the goat. Who is a comedian on
17:33
Instagram? Be among I'd be more the prince I
17:37
think or whatever and he does like the generationals
17:41
Okay, he's becoming more. He just wants like
17:44
a whole bunch of new skits skits where it's like
17:48
Gen Z complaining about Millennials and then
17:51
we're like because obviously Millennials drink
17:53
the most there right because of we've gone through
17:57
so many Armageddon's and yeah, these are like
18:00
Won't you millennials retire? I was like, how
18:03
old do you think we are? Yeah, like talk to gen
18:07
X So it's cool. Like how he does those like those
18:12
videos and it's like as being a millennial I
18:15
feel those pains because I guess Gen Z has an
18:18
issue going to work with iced coffee Because
18:22
it's not allowed or something and they're blaming
18:23
it on us. Oh It'd be like Wait, what do you maybe
18:28
it's not allowed. I Gen Z. Well, I mean, there
18:32
are the people that show up. They're like, come
18:35
in, go into work late, but with a coffee. You're
18:39
like. Yes. Yes. Actually, I was having a conversation.
18:44
I was like, we remember the generations, two
18:47
generations before us selling us. Stop having
18:49
a Tim Hortons coffee, because if you say that
18:52
Tim Hortons coffee, you can afford a house. Yeah,
18:55
not now. Not now. Not even if I buy Starbucks
18:59
every day. Let's call it $10 a day. That's only
19:07
saving like $3 ,600 a year. That is never gonna
19:14
get you it. That's like one month's mortgage
19:17
payment. And that's if you don't do it for the
19:24
entire year. Yeah, you're not wrong. Like that's
19:27
never going to get you anywhere. I mean, obviously
19:30
every bit helps, but like, so on that note, we
19:33
had a guest on our, on our episode of financial
19:35
advisor, Bronson fried out. Yeah. If you're trying
19:38
to get a house contact Bronson fried out seriously.
19:42
Cause honestly, if those are your types of financial
19:45
goals, as much as I want to say that it's always
19:48
easy to do it on your own. Sometimes you do need
19:51
to ask for help. And honestly, even just like.
19:55
If you're not sure what's going on, follow some
19:58
finite, like obviously you got to follow the
20:00
right one. But if you, even if you follow him
20:01
on, uh, on social, like on his socials, like
20:05
the advice, the random advice that he'll spit
20:07
out can be very helpful. Cause you'd be like,
20:10
Oh, I didn't think about that. Oh, for sure.
20:11
For sure. Like it's the little things. Oh, for
20:13
sure. Sure. Um, are you caught up on the Ted
20:17
lasso now? I'm still a little bit behind. Damn
20:20
it. I can't even talk about that. All right.
20:23
I had a busy week. So I always have a busy week.
20:27
I'm surprised I'm still married at this rate.
20:31
I am the most busiest person that you can. Yeah,
20:34
through no fault of anyone else's but your own.
20:39
Because like, well, Friday night, we went to
20:41
the night's game. Saturday, we had a wedding.
20:44
And then Sunday was supposed to be a chill day.
20:47
We ended up getting busy with other stuff. So
20:50
yeah, fine. The because Sundays is like my day
20:54
that I'm like I have nothing scheduled but I
20:58
do have something scheduled because Watching
21:02
football not that it's a job, but it's something
21:05
that I enjoy. So it's like That's what I do us
21:08
do Sundays. So it's like it's in the schedule.
21:11
Mm -hmm Nice thing is when I'm doing it at home.
21:13
I can actually like, you know Yeah It's true
21:20
it's true Oh, you do the dishes do laundry and
21:24
stuff while you're watching the game and stuff,
21:26
but like He's just so busy all the time Then
21:32
everything adds up and you got to squeeze all
21:34
these extra little things in This is extracurricular
21:38
extracurricular. I can't even say the word right
21:40
now correctly leaders Don't you hang out at a
21:43
school five days a week now? Yeah Working on
21:48
extracurricular activities with children Too
21:52
much. Yeah, I learned the word man. I hey Sometimes
21:56
when you don't say it enough you lose it. Yeah,
21:58
no kidding. Tell me about it stay in school kids
22:01
Yeah, or just go back later and relearn the words,
22:05
you know But I do want to do a huge shout out
22:11
to Sydney and Donovan There's a wedding that
22:13
I went to obviously was a beautiful wedding fun
22:18
story that I can say is I went to elementary
22:23
school with Donovan and when my wife and I bought
22:26
a house, we bought three doors down from his
22:29
dad without realizing it. So fun. So then when
22:33
we first pulled up, I saw Donovan. I was just
22:35
like, Oh, what are you doing here? It was kind
22:38
of cool to like kind of like we kind of like
22:39
our friendship back in elementary school. Yeah.
22:42
And then fast forward three years, I got to go
22:45
to his wedding and like A great memory about
22:48
their wedding was I know how much of a hard ass
22:51
his dad was. Like I always say that my dad is
22:54
grumpy. His dad was always grumpy. And like,
22:59
like you can see seeing his son get married in
23:03
a very emotional note and like that weather strip
23:07
of emotions came off. Yeah. It was actually kind
23:09
of cool. It was just like, I was telling my wife
23:12
was just like, You know, I enjoy going to weddings
23:15
due to the fact of seeing the parents see their
23:18
kids get married because it's kind of like it's
23:20
like a handoff. It's a handoff. But it's also
23:22
just like for a lot of people, getting married
23:25
is not on the table for them. Right. And a lot
23:28
of parents understand that not everyone gets
23:30
married. Yeah. If your kid does get married,
23:33
it's a very emotional time for them. So it's
23:36
like it's fun watching the parents when people
23:38
get married. It almost sheds a tear, but I'm
23:42
too late. Sure. He is flexing. If anyone is actually
23:47
out as he's calling me out right now. All right.
23:51
I'm just helping the visually impaired. I don't
23:53
know what our audio or our audio video situation
23:56
is going to be like. Maybe it's choppy. Maybe
23:59
you're in between chops. I don't know. Fair,
24:03
fair, fair. Yeah. Shout out to everyone who listened
24:07
to last week's episode on YouTube. It was very
24:09
choppy, but Shout out to everyone who did watch
24:12
it. Uh, that was a huge surprise when I went
24:14
and looked at our analytics and saw how many
24:16
people I love it. So like it, it still gives
24:19
us a little bit of hope that, you know, we're
24:21
still growing. So huge shout out to all y 'all
24:24
who continue to follow us and support us. I feel
24:26
like anytime I hear someone like, Oh, I was listening
24:28
to the podcast. I was like, Oh, nice. It's like,
24:31
it's not just the five friends that we have.
24:33
Like sometimes I'm like, do we just do this for
24:38
fun? And like, Yes, but yeah, but like when people
24:42
actually mentioned it you're like, oh, yeah.
24:45
Yeah, we do that. Yeah On that note I saw this
24:51
one video on socials and it it's funny because
24:55
like people will say And like as we're creators
24:58
There was say you always try to get your friends
25:01
to follow you and and whatever but it's a stranger
25:04
So you actually become your real friends because
25:06
they don't have any bias to you And yeah, they're
25:10
like the legit fans, not just fans. They're fans
25:12
because of what you're doing. They're not just
25:15
fans because they know you and they're just like,
25:17
and that you push it onto them. Yeah. So on that
25:20
sentiment, it's just like I've because obviously
25:22
I've had Milky Way apparel and I used to get
25:25
very upset when a lot of my friends wouldn't
25:27
buy any of the clothes or whatever would support
25:29
me. And then I got to the point was just like,
25:31
you know what? Why do I care if my friends don't
25:34
want to? It may not align with them. Yeah. They're
25:37
not necessarily my target audience, but the people
25:40
who are invested in those are my target audience.
25:44
But I can separate my business from my friends.
25:47
Yeah. And a lot of people can't do that. And
25:50
like a lot of podcasters or people on social
25:55
media always get mad at their own friends for
25:57
like not liking it sharing. Yes. It's a bonus.
26:01
When I see friends doing it, it's huge. I appreciate
26:04
it. It helps you gain traction. But when you
26:06
see a name you don't know, that means more. Yeah.
26:09
You know, it means like, how did you get my information?
26:12
Yeah. Like recently, since we started season
26:15
two, the amount of names who I don't know who
26:19
aren't linked to our friends who are like sharing
26:22
and like that stuff. I'm like, who are you? It
26:25
was just like, this is wicked. It's all those
26:27
hilarious. AI terrible era AI images. I was trying
26:33
to create Oh God Don't worry, I'm not I'm not
26:42
gonna be posting too much AI but that I had to
26:45
Yeah, if you do another one, we got to be doing
26:47
the sexy Daxie Well after the bagels win a game
26:52
or something yes I almost swore on that one.
26:57
Those idiots. It's good that we're not live.
27:00
Yeah. Well, but yeah, I know what you mean. I
27:05
was talking to someone the other day about that.
27:08
Like he has a business as well. Does car cleaning.
27:15
But shout out to Fahad if he's listening. But
27:20
talking about how like When you have a business,
27:27
sometimes your friends will be like, oh, hey,
27:30
can you have this business? Can you give me stuff
27:32
for cheap? If you're a real friend, you kind
27:36
of want to support their business and help them
27:38
get it off the ground and let them expand by,
27:43
I'm not saying pay extra, but pay what their
27:49
rate is. Don't try and get free stuff. Sure,
27:53
thank you. You see a lot of people that are just
27:55
like trying to make money off of their friends
27:58
and they That always puts a bad taste in your
28:03
mouth almost it does you're not wrong. It does
28:05
There's levels to it. Obviously depending on
28:08
my yeah service industry versus like legit local
28:11
businesses whether and so forth You're not wrong
28:15
Yeah, it's always funny when like when anyone's
28:20
starting a business like that, because obviously
28:22
you have to start somewhere. And then you get
28:26
to that point where you're like, oh, it's a full
28:29
-fledged business. It's that fine line. I think
28:34
when it comes to that concept, the biggest thing
28:37
though is the moment your friends value the business
28:42
as a whole and not the business that my friend
28:45
know. I remember back when I used to work at
28:48
Tap House. Yeah. Uh, and like, I can say his
28:52
name now is just like, Oh, I know the manager.
28:54
I know the owner, shame us. So let me in. And
28:57
then it's like, no, you're not like, just because
28:59
she misses here, you could pay the cover fee,
29:02
come in and support Shamus by paying the cover.
29:05
Yeah. But instead you want to get, let you want
29:08
to get in for free. You want to drink out of
29:09
three. You want to. Yeah. But you're not actually
29:12
doing shame us a favor. He's doing you a favor
29:15
just because you're in there. Yeah, doesn't necessarily
29:19
benefit him. That's that's exactly what I mean.
29:22
You're like you're just kind of Using them that's
29:26
that you're using him for his hard work that
29:28
you didn't earn Yeah, right. So t -pain actually
29:32
just posted this the other day. It's funny cuz
29:34
I like I'm random with socials like there's yeah,
29:38
I'll go reach without going on social and then
29:40
I Indulge and then I get out. Yeah, I like this
29:44
way to do it. Yeah T pain literally was doing
29:48
like a live chat with somebody and someone's
29:50
just like, you know, does he do like game a stream?
29:53
Yeah, he's streaming out. It's hilarious So what
29:56
recently happened was a guy was on and just like,
29:58
you know, I've been music producer and Things
30:01
are going well and people see that I'm making
30:03
money. So like everyone started to ask me for
30:05
money magic trick and he goes You know what think
30:10
of it like this. There's two ways to do it be
30:13
like If you ask me for money, this better be
30:15
the last time you ask for me. Ask me for money
30:17
and never ask me again or two. I'm working hard
30:22
for my money. If you want to work for me so you
30:25
can earn money with me, then we can talk. Yeah,
30:28
right. Those are the two options or I can just
30:31
tell you no. And there was my friendship because
30:34
you know what? At the end of the day, I can just
30:35
make more friends. No, that's that's fair. One
30:40
thing I've seen before is like if someone asks
30:42
you for money, the first time be like, absolutely.
30:47
Like if they ask you for 50 bucks, like a friend
30:51
of yours asks you for 50 bucks, does they really
30:53
need it? Like, all right, sure. And if that money
30:56
comes back to you, great. If it never comes back
30:59
to you and that person just fades into the distance,
31:02
that is money well spent getting rid of them.
31:05
You're not wrong. That's the same concept. He's
31:10
like, hey, I would love to help you. But. Yeah.
31:14
Yeah. No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong.
31:16
Because we all got bills to pay. Yeah. And with
31:19
AI coming, I'm sorry. It's just getting tighter
31:22
and tighter and tighter. It's getting out of
31:23
hand. It is. It is. You see that? They're like,
31:26
what is it? Muse or something? With Facebook?
31:29
Yeah. But I saw that and then I like. looked
31:33
at it and looked at like the reviews and it's
31:36
like five stars this is great five stars five
31:39
stars one star I this seems like a lot of bots
31:46
that are commenting on this one star I commented
31:50
on this before and it got deleted I'm just commenting
31:52
again it was like funny how that works but it's
31:56
like it when things have they just flood it with
32:01
but like There's a sentiment like I'm a person
32:05
where if I look for a product I don't necessarily
32:08
look at reviews because I know with Jordan time
32:11
those reviews are bots Yeah, so like even when
32:14
I go check any restaurant I may not actually
32:17
go look at the reviews due to the fact that how
32:19
many people actually once I ever do that what
32:22
restaurant or whatever and actually review them
32:24
accurately and You know honorably Versus their
32:29
friends posting just for the sake of posting
32:31
well exactly and you're like Like it's way easier
32:35
to get A whole bunch of reviews for sure like
32:40
from people, you know, like it's easy to just
32:42
click click click And everyone has like oh we
32:45
have a discount if you give us five stars Like
32:49
it's shenanigans It's all algorithms. It's like
32:53
that's the kind of the problem these days. That's
32:56
kind of the norm which kind of sucks Okay, so
33:03
Now that you're getting into coaching again,
33:06
obviously, yeah, how much do you think? Football
33:11
has prepared you like playing football and sports
33:14
prepared you for Like your working career like
33:19
whether it's discipline whether it's being coachable
33:24
whether it's I What happens when you don't succeed
33:29
like like failure, the success, all of it, like
33:34
how how much is it affected you? Okay, so the
33:38
question really is how did football as a whole
33:41
prepare me for like real life experiences? Yeah.
33:44
Like, how are you pushing this on the kids that
33:46
you're coaching? Um, I'm gonna say this. I think
33:52
football changed the way I operate everything.
33:57
Playing football at TCH, there was Lot of pressure
34:02
a lot of Yeah, cuz it's a winning culture. Yeah
34:06
CCA if you want to see CH it was either you played
34:09
hockey you played football a track athlete did
34:14
cross -country Like those are like or you're
34:18
bilingual at the time or you're a music student.
34:21
Yeah or I or I be so It was like a level of excellence
34:28
that You can feel across the whole school. So
34:32
I'm like, and I hung out with everyone from the
34:35
nerds to the jobs. There was a sense of pride
34:37
of being a crusader. Right. So it's funny that
34:43
you asked this question. I think it helped. It
34:46
prepared me a lot more than people realize even
34:48
more than I realized. Cause like there's two
34:51
coaches that I have to do a huge shadow. Um,
34:55
Mr. Brigham man and, uh, uh, Mr. Cicely, uh,
35:00
those two coaches honestly prepare me more to
35:04
be a man than they realize. Uh, Mr. McMahon was
35:09
my junior coach and he was the one who actually
35:13
believed that I was more than a DN. I had more
35:16
positions in me. Uh, so he designed a play that
35:20
I absolutely dominated. And like, when we first
35:23
did against Midway, People still recognize remember
35:27
those those days So like it was huge so like
35:32
I appreciate him for like believing in me And
35:34
I would think that was the first time I really
35:35
had a coach really believe in me At the football
35:39
level there's other ones, but at the football
35:41
level Mr.. Man and then sir Sally was just like
35:45
just because you're physically able to do something
35:48
and you're talented athletically Doesn't mean
35:53
you're going to win because the person who's
35:55
more consistent may beat you because you are
36:00
going to get too cocky and you're just going
36:02
to think your ability is going to get you. But
36:04
the person who's more consistent will have better
36:06
cardio or learn what you're doing. And if I'm
36:10
a counter to what you're doing and doesn't have
36:12
to be physical. And I think it got to me the
36:15
most when I was in my grade 12 year when I was
36:18
an athlete, but I wasn't mentally an athlete,
36:22
if you know what I mean. So I got to the point
36:24
where it was like, I had to slow down just a
36:26
little bit. And I took a year off and played
36:29
volleyball instead. Interesting. And then I came
36:33
back in my victory lap to play football and I
36:36
was a totally different player because it was
36:39
making Ted Lasso. Yeah. Jamie Tartt where it
36:43
was like me, me, me, me, me. Yeah. I got my Ted
36:45
Lasso through my Tricelli and the whole school
36:49
daunting me for not playing one year. And I learned
36:53
how to be more of a team player, which then in
36:55
reality, I moved forward and I realized that,
36:58
you know, just because you have that knowledge
37:02
or this or that doesn't make you a better person.
37:06
It's a team effort. We're using AI now. That's
37:10
a team member now that we're using on our fingertips.
37:12
You got to learn how to use that while using
37:15
and communicating with your team to get the job
37:17
done. Because at the end of the day, the job
37:19
is never done. There's a reason why you have
37:21
a job every week. No, it's okay. So that's, that's
37:24
what I find funny. The fact that you're like,
37:27
I used to be me, me, me. And now you are the
37:32
most team oriented position in a company. I T
37:38
you're like, you're not wrong. You don't, you're
37:43
not wrong. You don't have a job unless you're
37:46
helping everyone else. Right. Originally my father
37:49
wanted me to be a two one die maker. I always
37:52
loved computers. So eventually I got to the point
37:54
where I was like, you know what? I'm going to
37:57
go back to me, me, me. And then I became a team
37:59
player again. Yeah. Yeah. You're not wrong. You're
38:02
not wrong. When you were playing sports, what
38:05
was like your moment? I like because I know mine's
38:10
football, but like, no, I think it was a lot
38:13
of like doing football was a lot of just the
38:17
consistency. Yeah. And then when I did like football,
38:20
wrestling, like obviously I played soccer my
38:22
entire life, but like at a certain point, soccer
38:25
just kind of became a thing that I did. Sure.
38:30
But it was the high school sports, going in,
38:34
trying something new, starting again, like starting
38:38
from the bottom is a different experience than
38:41
like, oh, I've played this since I was six years
38:44
old. going back and starting fresh and being
38:48
like, okay, now I have to learn how to do all
38:50
these, how to move the way I need to, and you
38:53
have to learn how to play a sport instead of
38:55
just going in and being like, oh yeah, I know
38:58
how to move around, move around on the field.
39:01
At that point, it's just subconscious. But it's
39:07
definitely something that everybody needs to
39:11
try just to, at the very least, learn discipline.
39:14
It's true. It's like it's funny. It's either
39:17
play sports or get in the service industry. Yeah
39:21
Right, but even like video games these days like
39:26
The kids that are very good at video games or
39:31
the adult kids adults. Yeah That takes a lot
39:34
of time and commitment a hundred percent like
39:38
that's part of the reason I stopped playing because
39:40
I was like This is too much. Well time commitment
39:45
for me. This is getting too much. I don't have
39:47
the nuance. It's not just, you know, a B a B
39:51
it's a B X Y left bumper down trigger. Right.
39:55
Well, and then once, and then you have to do
39:57
it a ton because now that everything is online,
40:01
it's all against everyone else. So you have to
40:06
put in the effort. Otherwise it's not fun losing.
40:09
No. And we're competitive people. two competitive
40:14
times. Yeah, we don't like losing. That's the
40:18
same reason I when we got into boxing, I was
40:22
like, if we're doing this, I'm going all it I'm
40:27
like, I'm doing this. Well, yeah, you had to.
40:30
Yeah. Yeah. No, honestly. Like, don't get me
40:34
wrong. Losing from me in my last one was a eye
40:37
opener. And honestly, you probably needed it.
40:40
Yes, I did. I'm not Mad that I lost. I'm happy
40:44
I lost. But for me, it's just like the person
40:48
I fought and lost to. I think he recently quit
40:51
boxing. Oof. Right. He's had a few bad sessions
40:56
and yeah. So like there's the highs and lows.
41:01
I will get back. I just don't have time. What?
41:06
That's crazy. I can't believe you're saying that.
41:10
You know what I mean? I just don't have time.
41:12
I. Cause I always talk about how I want to reduce
41:15
my schedule and blah, blah, and then another
41:17
great opportunity comes up. So you're like, Oh
41:21
yeah, I squeezed it. Now I have so much time
41:23
on my hands. I have an extra 10 hours a week.
41:27
And then three days later, you're like, anyways,
41:30
so I started coaching. You're not wrong. You're
41:35
not wrong. But like I, for me is like, I enjoy
41:38
the coaching aspect. Cause like I enjoy one meeting
41:40
new people. I can see you getting into, uh, like
41:46
getting your license and doing boxing coaching.
41:49
Hey, I don't have to compete with I'll see this.
41:52
So I like that. I like that idea. I thought,
41:55
well, I honestly thought you were going to do
41:56
it a while ago. I was. And then I got, I went
41:59
in a dark path. Yeah. Well, yeah, I went in a
42:03
dark path. I'm not going to lie. I went in a
42:04
dark. Hey, As a person whose football team just
42:09
lost in an embarrassing fashion this week Losses
42:12
give you that dark path. It's true. It's true
42:15
It's unfortunate and like I see this Both episodes
42:23
of Ted lasso and lanterns when he has always
42:26
a full circle it hit on mental health so much
42:31
this week that it's crazy and I The one thing
42:36
I'm going to say is. Check in on more of your
42:41
guy friends. Mentally, yeah, we put up a huge
42:48
front because and I'll ask this question to you.
42:52
Would you do anything to be successful in life?
42:58
Yes, the. That sometimes. For us to be successful
43:05
for a lot of men, it's suppressing your emotions.
43:08
Yeah. Just so you can get ahead, just so you
43:12
can please your parents, siblings, uh, partners.
43:18
Cause you end up putting everybody else ahead
43:20
and then you, you don't voice your voice, your
43:23
opinion. And then it slowly starts picking away
43:27
at you until. And then once you finally get to
43:29
be successful. That's why a lot of times you
43:32
look around and you're like, where am I? Yeah.
43:34
What am I doing? And I think that's one of the
43:36
things that hit me hard is like, I know I'm,
43:40
I don't have as much time as I want to, but it's
43:43
my drive to be successful at everything that
43:46
I do that at times I get to a point where it's
43:49
just like, I don't want to talk to anyone because
43:52
I conscious pull my head down and I try to move
43:54
forward and try to be at everything from Milky
43:57
way to the podcast. So just being a husband to
44:01
being like a good child, like there's so much
44:03
pressure, even just doing your own job. It's
44:05
like. I'm trying to do as much as I can while
44:10
I can, because I do see the future. Yeah. But
44:16
yeah, no, I, I get what you mean. Like how mental
44:19
health is very important. I got a story I'll
44:22
talk to you about off the air a bit, but. But
44:28
yeah, it is funny, seeing all the shows. Okay.
44:34
When you're binge watching shows, this is completely
44:38
off topic, but like, let's say you're watching,
44:41
I don't know, Friends or The Office or like one
44:45
of the classics. Big Bang Theory. One of the
44:47
classics. Or Brooklyn Nine -Nine. Do you ever
44:50
get the feeling that you're like, oh my God,
44:53
it's Christmas time and there's a Christmas episode
44:56
on. And then you realize. wait a second, they
44:59
make one of these every season. And I've just
45:02
watched four seasons of the in a row. Of course,
45:05
it's whatever holiday just happened. Yeah. But
45:08
it always feels like when it's happening, it
45:10
feels relevant to you. Yeah. Because that like,
45:13
you know what I mean? You watch a Christmas episode
45:15
in July. It doesn't hit the same as like watching
45:20
like you happen to be watching a Christmas episode
45:22
around Christmas. I think that's one of the things
45:25
that hits me because like For a lot of those
45:27
shows I put on shuffle. Yeah. And then it's shuffled
45:30
to the Christmas. I'm like, this is fitting.
45:33
It's like, yeah. It's like, is AI listening to
45:36
me? Say it is. It is. It is. Most definitely.
45:41
It is one of those moments where it's just like,
45:43
yeah, you're right. It's one of those, those
45:44
episodes hit and it's just like, I'm at ease.
45:48
It feels more relevant. I'm at ease. Yeah. Yeah.
45:51
You're not wrong. You're not wrong. Why? Cause
45:55
are you like, starting to see like your Halloween
45:58
ones now? No, I don't have time to watch. I haven't.
46:02
We talked about watching two shows and I haven't
46:04
watched them. See, I had a football to watch.
46:08
I had to sacrifice time to watch my episode.
46:11
Sacrifice sleep. That's all it is. Because I'll
46:14
sleep when I'm dead. Die real soon. At this rate,
46:19
at this rate. But yeah, no. Yeah, I think we're
46:26
almost at that time though. It's time to talk
46:28
a little bit of a football. Yeah I'm gonna preference
46:32
it with this ATL versus Green Bay Packers Green
46:38
Bay is gone downhill so hard. Oh, I'm gonna be
46:42
honest with you I've never been more embarrassed
46:45
to be a fan of football in general because I've
46:50
always known Green Bay to be so successful and
46:53
always consistent that I Um, you know, it's green
46:55
Bay. They're going to, it's going to win. They're
46:57
going to find a way to win. They need it. They
46:59
needed it. And, um, you gotta, you gotta hit
47:02
rock bottom. It's you're not wrong. I think for
47:05
me though, what hit hard was I never thought
47:09
I'd ever hear the day where I hear people in
47:13
green Bay boo their team. The moment they go
47:15
on offense to the point where the stands were
47:18
almost empty before the game was done. You know
47:22
what I think is crazy? Atlanta, their offense
47:27
was clicking, they had Bijon Robinson doing his
47:31
thing, Drake London doing his thing, Brian Robinson
47:35
doing his thing, Kyle Pitts still didn't do anything.
47:39
You're not wrong, you're not wrong. You're not
47:42
wrong. You're just like, what is happening? Michael
47:44
Pennex, yes I said his name correct. Yes I said
47:50
his name correct. Just waiting for it. It's either
47:56
Tua or Michael Pettix. And it looked like the
48:00
second coming of Christ when Michael Pettix was
48:03
out there. The way he was playing with Drake
48:05
London, who couldn't get a touchdown, annoys
48:09
the hell out of me because he got 189 yards and
48:11
couldn't get a touchdown. Well, that's because
48:13
all the other, everyone else, you'd get it right
48:15
almost there. But like Green Bay, I'm going to
48:21
say this right now and. I'm probably the only
48:24
person who can say this out of the two of us
48:25
is, I'm sorry, Mr. Love, but you're the black
48:31
quarterback of Green Bay. You have to make us
48:34
look good because if another black quarterback
48:37
wants to play in Green Bay, you're ruining opportunities.
48:42
Because they're going to be like, let's go back
48:44
to being white. I had to say it. Yeah, you can
48:48
say that. I can say that. I'm sorry. There was
48:53
no chemistry. There was no flow. There was it
48:58
was just in Green Bay. And like I expect great
49:04
defense. I expect so much. And then Michael Parsons
49:06
coming back eventually, maybe it's I'm sure he's
49:09
regretting that now. I think he is. Well, you
49:11
didn't have a choice, really. Oh, yeah. He kind
49:13
of did. He kind of pushed his way out. Yeah.
49:16
But like the only team that blocked it was he
49:19
wasn't allowed to come to Philadelphia. Yeah.
49:22
But yeah, I saw here that. Well, but man, talk
49:27
about a game. Or. There was a lot of like interesting
49:33
games like there were so many close games like
49:36
what I find crazy about football. Is. How close
49:43
every game is considering so how many variables
49:46
there are, there's so many variables like there's
49:49
a million things that could happen. And for the
49:52
game to be within three points, or within two
49:58
points, week in, week out, like, I think there
50:02
was four games in the one o 'clock window that
50:06
were like one possession games. There was like
50:07
eight games that were one possession games. Yes.
50:11
Which is crazy because like that's one big play.
50:14
And. If. Green Bay had one big play at the end
50:21
that goes from being, oh, Green Bay is the absolute
50:26
worst. Fire their coats. Everyone's booing them.
50:29
They're the worst people in the world, too. They're
50:32
a bunch of heroes. It kills me that it's like
50:36
that sometimes. It's the same thing with the...
50:40
Obviously, I'm a little salty because the Bengals
50:43
lost in embarrassing fashion because they're
50:45
special teams. Played like they got there on
50:49
a special bus But You might have to believe that
50:57
I don't know But either way it was It's when
51:06
it comes down to one possession and it's like
51:08
you're a hero or you're the absolute worst It's
51:12
it. It's so unfortunate for the athletes. You're
51:15
not wrong Uh, I think it was Rampage Jackson
51:20
talking about MMA, uh, when he was fighting in
51:25
Japan versus fighting in America. So fighting
51:29
in like in Asia, both fighters are celebrated
51:35
at the end, regardless of the result. Okay. Kind
51:40
of like how, uh, like when we were like did our
51:42
boxing event, it's like This guy lost. This guy
51:46
won. It's not like, Oh, we talk. Talk like this
51:49
guy's a piece of garbage. It's like, no, he went
51:53
out. He did his best. It was a valiant effort.
51:56
It was very close. It was hard fought. Celebrate
52:00
both of them. Whereas like in the States, it's
52:02
like you either win or you're garbage. You're
52:06
not wrong. As someone who's been calling his
52:08
team garbage for the last day and a half. Well,
52:11
we can talk about it. I don't understand how
52:14
A 42 -year -old beat the Bengals. I do. Our special
52:20
teams. So our defense, granted, they didn't play,
52:25
they could have played better, but they held
52:28
them and they forced two punts in the game. They
52:32
got one interception. The two punts they forced,
52:36
one was given right back to them because they
52:39
roughed the kicker. So there's a first down.
52:42
They walk down, they score. The second one, they
52:45
punt it, we muff the punt, we give it back to
52:47
them on our 20, they kick a field goal. Hey,
52:50
now they're up by three and hey, how many did
52:52
we lose by? Three, we gave them 10 points for
52:55
free. Yep. So like you can't win a game doing
52:59
it when it's, when it's down to like, like the,
53:04
it's so tight. It's a game of inches and you're
53:07
giving them miles. Oh, for sure. For sure. Um,
53:11
Yeah, that part sucks you like defense like is
53:17
Good, but like I think they got cocky you will
53:21
let you guys allow DK Metcalf to finally get
53:24
into a game. I Well, I think it was a lot of
53:27
like our defense going yeah, we're bad. We're
53:30
good Like we got this and they so they like kind
53:33
of overlook the Steelers. Okay? Like you can't
53:37
do that with a divisional opponent. Oh, you're
53:39
you're understand correct with that statement
53:40
you're 100 % correct with that statement like
53:43
they definitely they game plan for it perfectly
53:46
They're running outside the ball like doing outside
53:49
runs running around Dexter Lawrence not running
53:52
right through him. Yep, cuz that doesn't work
53:56
Sexy Dexy. I love it. I do I do love the fact
53:59
that we have him now. Yeah, he's fantastic It's
54:02
frustrating to watch when you're like It's funny.
54:06
It's one loss though. I know but it when you're
54:09
watching the game I I don't know. Maybe it's
54:13
just the years of being beat down by the Bengals
54:16
having a horrible defense. But like any time
54:20
a team starts to get an extended drive on us,
54:23
it just annoys me so much because we don't we
54:25
typically don't get a lot of three and outs,
54:27
but like take this into consideration. In September.
54:31
We got two wins. You have two wins and one loss.
54:34
Yeah, that is a huge improvement for the Bengals.
54:36
Two wins, one loss. They got a few injuries,
54:39
but no one major. That's fair. But we'll see.
54:44
There was there was a lot of injuries this week.
54:47
A lot more. Yes. Well, too many, too many. But
54:51
let's go to our next game. Um, Patriots and Jags.
54:57
I'm as big an eagle fan. I love AI videos right
55:02
now and the amount of AI videos that are coming
55:05
out. Of aj brown like crying what you saw in
55:09
the eagles. Yeah, even though he's injured. He's
55:10
not a part of this with the wolverine meme Yeah,
55:13
yeah, it's like the wolverine. There's like uh
55:17
Like some classic like motown songs that you
55:20
know They're throwing it back like wish you were
55:22
or wish you weren't gone and all these other
55:25
things just like well jake mays up to What six
55:28
turnovers in the live in two games? Yeah six
55:32
turnovers in two games and uh From being an MVP
55:37
candidate from last year to this year being one
55:40
of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Yeah.
55:42
And JJ McCarthy is still in the league. Like
55:46
even when your coach has to talk about your,
55:49
about you and most coaches will never be in like
55:53
talk about their quarterback in that fashion.
55:55
And then you have at a certain point you have
55:57
to though. It was bad. I'm like, shout out because
56:03
Drake may. gave Travis Hunter a touchdown. Trevor
56:07
Lawrence couldn't do it. Drake May could. That's
56:12
true. Um, it's just wow. Patriots. That's like
56:18
one of the worst losses, like 35 to six against
56:21
his eggs. And well, did you see Trevor Lawrence
56:24
kneeling on the one with like eight minutes left?
56:28
That made so many people angry and you're like,
56:30
what's he gambling? Hey, that's nor here there.
56:35
We we don't talk about gambling like that. And
56:37
then he then he immediately brings up fantasy
56:40
football for the John to nine owners. They're
56:44
like, what about your owners, man? Also, well,
56:48
he also said he he kneeled down and then he looked
56:50
at the clock and was like, oh, yeah, yeah. I
56:54
think he thought it was a lot later in the game
56:56
than what it actually was. So because you're
56:58
not expecting him to be up 31 and nothing or
57:02
to. Like three on the Patriots, especially the
57:06
Patriots, though. Like, that's the thing is,
57:08
it's like there's such a culture with being playing
57:11
against the Patriots that you beat them that
57:14
bad. It's just like if this was like the bangos
57:17
of three years ago, it makes sense. Rable is
57:19
never going to get over those allegations or
57:23
not allegations. It's 100 percent true. But the
57:26
people talking about how all of his office. offseason
57:31
shenanigans are affecting the team, whether it's
57:35
directly or indirectly from just reporters and
57:39
everyone pestering them players about it. All
57:42
right. Two seconds. Like we never left. Like
57:45
we never left. Magic. Oh, how I love not going
57:49
live anymore. All right. I guess we could talk
57:54
a little bit. A few more games. Giants and Titans.
58:00
That game happened. That game happened. I had
58:03
James Winston. He's just such a likable person.
58:08
He's too likable. But I think the biggest thing
58:10
is like, oh, I did it for Jackson Dart. You know,
58:14
like, you know, I think this this like are the
58:16
are the Giants just going for like, let's put
58:19
together the most ridiculous personalities of
58:23
a team possible. It's kind of working, though.
58:26
Like what? What is he going to look like with
58:30
Scataboo and James Winston in the same place?
58:36
It worked though. It's like 12 divided by two
58:43
is six. We did it for you, Jackson Dart. It's
58:49
weird because it's like you're selling seats
58:51
because of your personality. Yeah, I love it.
58:56
Scadaboo is going to be sitting on one. He's
58:59
going to be sitting on one shoulder going run
59:01
through his face. Right. And then Winston's going
59:04
to be on his other shoulder being like throw
59:08
a TD or an interception. What are the two? I
59:10
don't care which. So, ah, man. Yeah, we could
59:14
talk about that. That's that's what we're done
59:16
with. Commanders versus the Seahawks. I did not.
59:22
I did not predict. No one did. No, I did. Sam
59:25
Donnell finally coming back and Marcus Mariota
59:28
showing up Seattle. My favorite part was listening
59:32
to everyone talk about the commanders and saying,
59:37
Oh yeah, Mariotta's he's not good anymore. Like
59:42
he's, he was never good. He's, he's just, he's
59:45
just not good at football as he's diving over
59:49
the first down marker to seal the game against
59:52
the Superbowl champs. Right. Right. It's just,
59:56
it's fun. And like that, that makes it very entertaining
1:00:03
to watch. And it just shows you like how it doesn't
1:00:05
matter what everyone's at, where everyone's at.
1:00:07
No one's untouchable. Sure. Sure. I think the,
1:00:11
the thing that got me though is the commanders,
1:00:14
they did talk about how the, what they're going
1:00:18
to do this week with Marcus Mariota is they're
1:00:21
going to play to his mind and ability. Not because
1:00:25
of his athletic ability. And it was just like,
1:00:27
shouldn't all coaches play off to the ability
1:00:30
of the mind of the individual? Well, that's,
1:00:33
that's kind of why I think there's two aspects
1:00:36
of it. When you have a, uh, your starter and
1:00:39
your backup, you either want them to be exactly
1:00:42
the same or toll like different, like opposite
1:00:47
enough that the whole team knows if this guy's
1:00:50
in, we play like this. If this guy's in, we play
1:00:52
like this. True, true. True. And that can be
1:00:55
enough of a change up. Oh, for sure. To completely
1:00:58
mess with defenses. For sure. For sure. Um. But
1:01:04
yeah, no, that was a crazy game to watch. I talk
1:01:06
about the lines in Jets, but let's be honest,
1:01:08
if we put that on air, no one's really listening.
1:01:11
It's the lines in the Jets. Good a lie. Browns
1:01:17
and the Panthers games played like crazy. Yeah,
1:01:20
like I'm not denying any of the players What
1:01:22
is like one of those games that no one really
1:01:24
cares about? Yeah Browns and Panthers. I Get
1:01:27
it Browns fans. You guys won two games in a row.
1:01:30
Yeah, you guys can be happy at the parade The
1:01:36
cheese versus dolphin I just think it's funny
1:01:38
that like Deshaun Watson goes from everyone booing
1:01:45
him to some people cheering him. Yeah, people
1:01:49
are like. Like chanting his name, you're like
1:01:52
wow. Like, but this is what I mean when you're
1:01:55
like you won two very close games that you couldn't
1:01:59
that were not in your hands by the end of the
1:02:01
game. You didn't do like a game winning drive
1:02:06
at the end. It was the other team just messed
1:02:09
up. And now, because the other team messed up,
1:02:13
you are an absolute hero. Versus if, if Baker
1:02:20
had of stormed down the field, thrown that touchdown
1:02:24
at the end, in Tampa, and then the Panthers had
1:02:34
gone all the way down one at the end, it'd be
1:02:37
a totally different story and he'd be getting
1:02:39
booed so hard. You're not wrong. Two plays. All
1:02:43
right. All right. So I got a question for you.
1:02:46
Are the Buccaneers going to go 0 -1 -16? I don't
1:02:52
know. I feel like it's actually easy, but harder
1:02:57
than you'd think to go 0 -1 -16. You're not wrong.
1:02:59
They'll squeak out a random win that you don't
1:03:02
expect. The way I view it though right now is
1:03:05
it's like the Bucs paid their quarterback. And
1:03:09
now they can't win a game. Well, he just got
1:03:11
injured, too. Yeah, he just dislocated his thumb
1:03:14
on his throwing hand. Still, though. But yeah,
1:03:19
well, that's why I've always said you like. You
1:03:23
if you pay your quarterback a ton of money. Expect
1:03:29
holes, a lot of holes, because you can't pay
1:03:32
everybody. You can't. But I don't know, there's
1:03:36
there are certain things that. Us as fans Will
1:03:41
never we don't understand and we will ever understand
1:03:44
the back door. We will never understand There's
1:03:47
a lot of there's a lot of things that like you
1:03:49
think you understand. Mm -hmm, but you don't
1:03:53
and like even like When people are like know
1:03:57
all the stats like yes stats Over the course
1:04:01
of a season it can tell a story, but it can also
1:04:04
tell a whole bunch of lies like Like, let's say
1:04:11
your team has amazing run defense, and they just
1:04:18
have a habit of giving up one long run a game.
1:04:23
That one long run ups the average so much, makes
1:04:28
the other team look like they have a star running
1:04:31
back, makes it look like Your run defense is
1:04:34
terrible. You're not wrong, but it's like you
1:04:37
just let up one big play and that's pushes all
1:04:40
the averages. Yes, but it's like when people
1:04:44
like you, well, people don't understand that
1:04:46
to your sentiment that you're saying look at
1:04:49
Detroit as a great example where they looked
1:04:52
amazing and then their stats were like at one
1:04:55
point. If then you take the OC and DC out and
1:04:59
the players stayed the same for the most part.
1:05:01
and you put in new coaches, then the average
1:05:04
dropped down dramatically. Yeah. That's kind
1:05:07
of what you're talking about. Just like the analytics
1:05:10
don't tell the full story because you need to
1:05:12
know what's going on with those analytics. Yeah.
1:05:14
But even like there's a lot of things that you
1:05:16
just don't understand, like those little, the
1:05:19
little intricacies behind the field. I contracts
1:05:23
no one will ever understand because somehow the
1:05:26
Eagles find a way of paying everyone. So don't
1:05:29
hate greatness. Don't hate greatness. You're
1:05:32
like, yeah, but there's always trust in the Kawhi
1:05:36
Leonard treatment. Hey, hey, don't don't hate
1:05:42
us. Appreciate it. On a completely separate note,
1:05:45
I'm excited to see what happens with Manchester
1:05:47
City. Oh, right, because they were. Was confirmed
1:05:53
like. 114 of the 115 things they were accused
1:05:58
of were true, which is like a lot. There's two
1:06:07
things I want to talk about. Ravens and Cowboys
1:06:10
and Rams and Broncos. Both were crazy games.
1:06:15
There's this old saying that we've always knew
1:06:18
we grew up with it. The ball don't lie. Yeah.
1:06:23
I think it happened in both games. Kind of. One,
1:06:26
the ball lied though. Fair, fair, fair, fair,
1:06:29
fair. The guy admitted the ball lied. Fair. Okay.
1:06:33
But, but yeah, no, I know what you mean. Cause
1:06:36
the Raven and Cowboys game where it was a offensive
1:06:40
passing interference, but the ref calls defensive
1:06:43
passing interference. Yeah. And Dak got all cocky
1:06:46
about it. I'm sorry, Dak. You're probably one
1:06:51
of the greatest Dallas Cowboy quarterbacks. They've
1:06:54
had in a long time. Yeah, he's literally like
1:06:57
the number one in a whole bunch of stats. What?
1:07:01
When you're on goal line and you can't get a
1:07:04
touchdown, right? To a point where you pick a
1:07:08
field goal to a lot and give me it was a clean
1:07:12
pocket wide open George Pickens. So is it in
1:07:16
the crowd? Yep, yep. There's some things were
1:07:21
just like this is the greatest offense the Dallas
1:07:24
Cowboys have had in a long time And you muffed
1:07:28
it so bad that now don't get wrong seven seconds
1:07:31
left Waving should have never had an opportunity
1:07:36
to even get a field goal to win the game. That's
1:07:38
you know automatically gone into overtime, but
1:07:41
well don't yeah, I Well, I know I was like that's
1:07:45
like what just happened They had like 10 seconds
1:07:49
left. It was like they just chuck it down the
1:07:51
field. Like all you had to do was like you could
1:07:55
have just. Like not touched him and let him run.
1:08:00
Yeah, I've only not touch him. The clock still
1:08:03
going. Yeah, like. That's that that comes to
1:08:08
IQ, but they were also playing man. So you're
1:08:10
automatic. Your instinct is to touch him. Yeah,
1:08:12
so. Nor here or there. I get it, but. And then
1:08:18
Bonyx got saved. Bonyx got saved. That's one
1:08:23
thing that I hate, like, especially in such a
1:08:25
physical sport. How embarrassing is it diving?
1:08:31
Like he flood like. You see the replay of it,
1:08:35
and it's like he got touched in like, oh, like
1:08:38
you got like, oh, it's I hate it. It seems like
1:08:43
it's a part of the game, though. The thing that
1:08:46
I hate it's the same thing with quarterbacks
1:08:49
flopping Yeah, or like complaining and crying
1:08:51
for a call or like my homes Yeah, when you when
1:08:54
someone hits them and you know, they're gonna
1:08:56
get a call every time you're like If I was I
1:09:00
don't know who was on Miami that hit my homes
1:09:03
but He hit him as he's throwing which should
1:09:07
be fine. Yes. He both hands out Obviously, he's
1:09:13
trying to not land on him. But when you're running
1:09:15
full speed, it's not like you can't let like,
1:09:19
what do you, what do you, how are you possibly
1:09:21
supposed to? And meanwhile, he had it in the
1:09:24
hand while you're going. But those are the ones
1:09:29
where you're just like, he should have just absolutely
1:09:32
laid him out. You know, yeah, it's just one of
1:09:37
those things like. Like. That was, I mean, it
1:09:43
sounds terrible, but my mindset when I was playing
1:09:47
soccer growing up, you get to that point when
1:09:49
you know there's certain people that dive all
1:09:52
the time. And when they're gonna dive all the
1:09:56
time, if you're gonna flop, I'll let you have
1:10:01
the call, but you're not gonna flop. You may
1:10:05
flop around after because you're hurt, but. I'll
1:10:08
make it count the next time. Yeah, you're like.
1:10:10
If I'm getting called anyway, I might as well
1:10:13
make it worth my while. Exactly. Exactly. All
1:10:17
right. So we have the Eagles versus the Bears
1:10:20
tonight. Obviously. Caleb Williams is not playing.
1:10:24
He's still out for about two more weeks. I can't
1:10:26
believe you got. Yes. Yeah, so don't walked off
1:10:32
the field and now he's out for the season. He
1:10:36
gets stretchered, crying on a towel and he's
1:10:39
got a strain. I feel like it was also the mindset
1:10:44
of it, because he thought it was worse than it
1:10:47
was. Fair, fair. Watch this week's episode. Whereas
1:10:51
Jackson Dart thought it was better than it was.
1:10:55
Yeah. Obviously, I'm saying you always are winning
1:10:58
this. Yeah. Should be a no -brainer. But that's
1:11:02
what I find funny. You would think the Eagles
1:11:06
are going to win, obviously. The Bears. are their
1:11:11
third quarterback, Case Keenum. Yep, yep. And.
1:11:18
The Eagles are like everyone is only saying the
1:11:21
Eagles are going to win by maybe less than sick,
1:11:25
less than a touchdown. Is it going to be less
1:11:28
than? Yeah, is that the everyone's saying like.
1:11:33
Like 2420. Exactly. That's what I mean. You're
1:11:39
like, so the Bears have all of this going against
1:11:43
them and they're they everyone thinks they're
1:11:46
only going to lose by four points, four or five
1:11:48
points. Well, what's the spread say now? Three
1:11:53
point five. You're right. See. Which, which,
1:11:58
again, seems crazy to me. That is way too. Why?
1:12:03
What am I missing? That doesn't make sense. Yeah.
1:12:06
But that's the difference. And you're like, this
1:12:08
team is really good. This team is bad. What do
1:12:13
what does Vegas know that we don't know? But
1:12:16
like the difference between a bad team and a
1:12:18
good team is three and a half points. It's equal.
1:12:25
It's everyone else. Yeah, the swift. Yeah. But
1:12:29
you know what I mean? Interesting. And like I
1:12:35
get. Is what we were saying earlier. I know it's
1:12:38
like that next man up mentality For everybody.
1:12:42
It's like that in all sports at a certain point
1:12:45
Next man up is not as good as the last man Like
1:12:51
there's a reason he's a starting quarterback
1:12:52
and he's the third quarterback So giving him
1:12:56
all like three and a point I would like betting
1:12:59
the Eagles make just make sense Well, that's
1:13:02
what I did. I just did it Oh, yeah, I just did
1:13:06
it. There you go. So you're welcome. All right.
1:13:10
So before we go, I didn't miss one story that
1:13:12
I wanted to tell you. Yeah. Friday night. So.
1:13:19
We obviously went to the night's game. I don't
1:13:22
realize the season started already. Yeah, just
1:13:25
open to start. This was like second or third
1:13:28
week. How are they looking this year? Rough at
1:13:32
the start, dominant at the end. Okay, so went
1:13:36
to the night's game, September 25th. That was
1:13:39
that was when we went. It's my half birthday.
1:13:41
If anyone wants to buy me, I love it. I presence
1:13:43
the the reason why I say September 25th, Friday
1:13:49
night's game. We went to a rest or we went to
1:13:52
this one speakeasy trying to go there and watch
1:13:54
the game. It was a little bit too busy. So we
1:13:57
went to the Hard Rock Hotel and go into the upstairs
1:14:04
bar and I The bartender is like, hey, like are
1:14:10
you guys waiting to go to 1913? I was like, yeah,
1:14:12
we're trying to go to 1913 There's a little bit
1:14:14
of a wait list. We'll just get a drink here.
1:14:17
So he tells us the list of beers and all that
1:14:20
And before I was like, you know what? Yeah powerhouse
1:14:22
beers. So yeah, I was like we'll take dollies.
1:14:26
We'll take three dollars What does dolly mean
1:14:30
to you? That's why we're drinking our nine to
1:14:35
fives. Oh, sense. We all ask for dollies. They're
1:14:43
like, what do you mean dolls? It's like nine
1:14:44
to five Dolly Parton, right? Not realizing that
1:14:48
September 25th was Dolly Parton day. That's funny.
1:14:54
So Dolly Parton day nine to there it is just
1:15:00
caught on you got it so on those like someday
1:15:03
you're like what's the dolly part and i was like
1:15:06
strawberry flulie i don't know no i nine to five
1:15:10
when you get yourself a powerhouse beer and you
1:15:12
want a dolly it's a nine to five beer which is
1:15:15
their low yeah so interesting i had to educate
1:15:19
people on the hard rock side so clearly we picked
1:15:22
the good side of being on clubhouse yeah no kidding
1:15:25
Oh, clearly I'm oblivious. So. To dolly to dolly.
1:15:34
I pull a little out, but this is nice. And then.
1:15:40
I just knew it was Dolly Parton day. I think
1:15:42
for me culturally, September 27th is going to
1:15:47
be the mighty sparrow day because the mighty
1:15:49
sparrow, who is a calypso soca artist, passed
1:15:53
away at the age of 91. And like when I grew up,
1:15:57
that was like the music I was listening to. I
1:15:59
have no idea who that is. You're going to have
1:16:01
to educate me. I will educate you later. Yeah.
1:16:03
Like I had to make a little mention of that because
1:16:06
the money spurs a huge legend in my house. Um,
1:16:10
like I grew up listening to his music and it
1:16:13
was like one of those culture shocks when I heard
1:16:15
like a legend in the country that like my background
1:16:18
from. Yeah. Fast away. It's like a hitch harder.
1:16:23
So. Shout out to the mighty Sparrow. You know,
1:16:29
this is the first time we're cheersing near the
1:16:34
end of a podcast and we actually have beer left.
1:16:38
