  Speaker 1: Patriot's Unfiltered. I'm already tired, Paul, just thinking about carrying stuff. Oh,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm talking carrying the show. No, my back's still fine.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I got those on those weightlifting belts. You know, I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: love that term hockey sweater sweater. I mean, I'm a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: sweater guy, but I don't wear a hockey sweater. Yeah.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: They're a little thing at a little different kind of sweater. Yeah,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: so you've got a little culture in you. This weekend,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Frozen four was going on the NCAA Hockey is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: It was in Boston this weekend and never heard anything
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: about that on the news. If they passed on, if
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: they if they trade it down out of twenty one,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you'd feel worse than I would if they took a
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: starting guard. I'll try my best to hide it. But
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: is that what you're doing that happens? Is that? Is
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that an example if you trying to hide it. No,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I'm saying going forward, I will be better. You're ball.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I would agree so much, but I don't think that
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is correct. You're just going to going to college next
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: year as a freshman. Yeah, I'm getting my grammar corrected
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: seeing here in high school. So we're taking an analytical
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: call on our show from from an individual that's a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: year older than myself. Blows me away. This is Patriot's Unfiltered,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: fueled by Duncan. All right, welcome the Patriots Unfiltered. It
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is Thursday here at Gillette Stadium and special edition of
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Patriots Unfiltered. It's just me and Eascal. Yeah, Eric Scallavino
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: mats in the booth. Uh, Deuce is in la and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Paul's on his couch. No Paul. I think Paul's en
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: route to some far off locale. Really, I think yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he's He's taken advantage of the vacation time, probably Florida, right,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't he like to He usually goes down that end. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's got I think he's concerned about his
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: ability to get home because you know all the madness
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: with the airlines, Lady Jeff Bluebin particular killer. Yeah. Well,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as soon as I came back from the owners meetings,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that stuff started to erupt. So I just slid in
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: under the wire with yeah, and that's all craziness going
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on with travel. But yeah, they're they're both they're both
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on vacation still. Yeah, okay, so it's us guys and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Matt and you know, we'll talk about whatever people want
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to talk about. We've got some emails coming in. Um
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr, Yeah, got a big deal. H Like yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I mean that AFC West is crazy. It's it's an
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: arms race. I'm so kind of excited just to watch
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: AFC West games this year. Like you know how Paul
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: always mocks the uh oh you know division games and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: primetime play them on your own time. This is gonna
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be a year where that division, if they put those
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: games in primetime, they could be the most entertaining games
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, yeah, I like it. I'm I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be fantastic. And you know, again,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it's mathematically possible that all four of them could make
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, right, depending on you know, how things shake out. Now, Like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: maybe they won't all be that good, right, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: maybe somebody will tank, right, not tank, but you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not be hit with injuries or whatever, and maybe they'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: not be as good. But I would love it if
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: all four of them were good all year and like
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it's just a competitive like it comes down to the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: very end, and like, could you imagine, like a lot
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of times we have Week eighteen, Week seventeen, whatever, the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: last week of the season, there's usually a game that's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: flexed at night because it's a division game and the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: winner either get you know, wins the division, gets in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and the loser goes home. You know, it's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a it's an important, high stakes game. What if there
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: are two of those games in that division in week seventeen,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Week eighteen, where like all four of them are competing
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to win the division, like it could be chaos. Oh
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's the NFL's dream. Um. But yeah, I mean I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: remember it back in the day when you know, I
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Denver Broncos and no matter how
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: good kind, no matter how good they were or how
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: bad the Raiders were, or how good or bad the Chiefs,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they always gave each other a game. Like you never
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: knew what was gonna happen. You know, they put on
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a Denver Bronco Monday night game against the Raiders and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the Raiders would stink that year and it would be
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a great game, you know. Um, so yeah, I'm Paul
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: with his division thing. They can be good games, you know, yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I mean look at look at what the Jets. The
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Jets give the Patriots games, you know, off and on,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: off and on, you know when even when you know
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Jets were terrible. But these are these are potentially
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, like these are these are legitimate playoff content
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: with talented rosters. Yeah. So yeah, so you know we'll
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: see about that. Um, you know what. Otherwise, it's it's
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: pretty quiet. Yeah. I know you guys talked about the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins thing last Tuesday. Um, you know that was
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere and really really just tragic.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Um trying to think, like you know, other big NFL news,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: there really is not right now that there really isn't.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: We're kind of like the calm before the drafts. Yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: draft is coming up. We did get the OTA schedules.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we're allowed to say that, but um,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: well we got uh we know the dates of all
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of the uh spring practices and I think internally we
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: might have gotten Yeah, I can tell you you know, um,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: mini camp will be June seventh through ninth, Right, those
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: are those were already announced. Yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: So and those we have access to all three days
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: of those. And then there's I think I counted thirteen
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: practices where we'll have acts and we'll let no. Thirteen
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: practices in the spring, and I think we usually get
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: roughly half of that, maybe a little less than half
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of that is available to the media. So you're looking
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: at five or six maybe days including those three uh
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: mini camp days where we're we'll be able to go
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and see practice, and those should make for some fun
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: shows those days. Yeah, absolutely, kind of it's kind of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: warm ups for us for you know, covering the team.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You know, Mini camp is like a mini training camp,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, so you get to try things out for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: mini camp that you'll then be doing in training camp.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So looking forward to that, And of course you mentioned
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the draft. That's that's gonna be huge. I've come to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the I've come to accept fred that they're going to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: trade down from twenty one. And I said this on Tuesday.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping I'm wrong, obviously, because I want them to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: make a pick because, more so than ever, I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the talent gap between them and a lot of these
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: other teams in the AFC is just too big. And
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can waste your time fiddling around
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and shuffling cards and saying, oh, we need to get value.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Like that was great when you had Brady and you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: knew you were going to be, you know, default AFC
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Championship Game participant every year. You can't do that anymore,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and you gotta you gotta make up the ground quickly,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. So I'd prefer it if they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: make the pick, but I'm resigned to the fact that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get there. If they well, well you know
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what I mean. He would explode, he would pull one
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of my Yeah, but I mean I'd be at least happy,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Like if it's a Zion Johnson, local guy. He's kind
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of a you know, big, big product. I would be
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: fine with that as long as they make a pick
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and try to add some talent. I my personal preference
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: is for a cornerback. Yeah. I don't know if you've
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: come to any conclusion. Do you have your hour lads yet?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I know, but I printed out the Beast, Yes, Dane
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Bruglers thing. So I've just started reading, and I'm through
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and the running backs, and I'm just starting
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on the wide receivers. Now, so who's uh whose opinion
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: do value more Bruglers or the kind of I kind
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of mesh it together, I see, like like right now,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so I'll go through Brugler's thing and I'll like, circle guys, Okay,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: this guy intrigues me. Yeah, and then I'll go look at,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever I can find in terms of highlights
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of the player. But then I'll see what our lads
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: says and I'll kind of mesh the two. Well, first
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you have to see if our lads has the guy
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: list right, you know, and I'll try to I'll mesh
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it and see like where's the overlap, like are they
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing or is one saying something completely different?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And I'll look Then I'll look at the tape and see, okay,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: why are they saying that? You know? Um, And then
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I'll that then I'll come up with the conclusion that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is a good wife, and I'll be right, um, well,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you know, blind squirrel like sure, um you know, but I,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: like I said, I just started the wide receivers and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's you know, that's a position of need in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: my opinion. And then cornerback will be another one that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'll do a deep dive into. Um, you know, quarterbacks,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I you know, I kind of just went through, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: some of the like you know, the top guy with
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the small hands and all that stuff. Actually, now that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you mentioned quarterbacks, there was some minor Patriots related news
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: regarding a local quarterback, E J. Perry, the kid from
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Andover who's played for Boston College n Brown in his career. Um,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I believe he has an official visit with the past. Okay,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: now again, he's not considered a first round pick or
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: anything like that, so you know, and and those those visits,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: those official those thirty visits that each team gets with
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: draft prospects aren't necessarily and usually aren't an indication that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the team wants to draft that player. It might mean
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that they want to do more in depth interviewing with
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the guy, or maybe work him out a little bit.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that's technically under the rules plausible,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but um, they just maybe want more information, either to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: confirm one way or the other what they were thinking
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: about the guy. Ye and but it is interesting that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he's i think right now, projected to be a Day
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: three pick. So it wouldn't sun me if they pick
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a quarterback somewhere in the draft and you know, a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: guy like him with local roots would be a great story. Yeah.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know in particular, Perry, but you know, sometimes
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: they've brought guys in who are on a team that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: have other players that the Patriots are interested in, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: they say, you know, while they're working out, how do
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you you know, how how do you work with so
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and so pickin? Yeah, so every every guy's an opportunity
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for information, and it may not always be about that guy,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I know, and that that would suck if they if you, like,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you're the guy and you get there, you're like, oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the Patriots are interested. I get there and all they
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: do with all they do is talk about my teammate
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for two hours. Right. I'm sure they're they're more tactful
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: than that, but yeah, but yeah, they're they're looking to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: get information anyway and from anyone they can. The other
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: thing you said a moment ago that, uh, I want
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to bring up because I think it's important, especially this
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: time of year when people are so and by people,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean you know fans in particular, who are so
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: just eager for mock drafts and and any sort of
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: news scraps about who's visiting and this and that. You said,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you look at your two sources,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your beast and your our lads, and you try to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: see if there's any overlap or if they're completely contradicting
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: one another. I find more times than I care to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: remember that I'll look at a player, I'll read his
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: little bio from one source and it'll say something like,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, very fluid through the hips, like talking about
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: cornerbacks or something, you know, great, great recovery speed, tough
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: against the run. And then I'll read the same guy's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: bio from another thing and it'll say tight hips, you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: poor recovery speed, doesn't support the run very well. And
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, your guys looking at the same person, right like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: So it's or each one looked at one game and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: in one game, he played well in another game, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: so it's unfair to the player and and and it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: buy or beware in terms of the consumer, you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: right like, you got to be sure that people that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you're reading watched everything right. And that's hard to do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And you know, back in the day when it was
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: just mel Kiper, who had you know, the cottage industry
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of you know, draft preview stuff. Like he would literally
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: spend all year, right, even in the offseason of college football.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: That's all he did was look at players college players,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and he actually took the time. A lot of these
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: guys who are writing for these draft sites aren't doing
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this all year, right. They're probably like looking up highlights
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: on the internet like anybody in the audience could do,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and coming up with their own little thing, right, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it just like anybody else could do. Right, So you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: really have to take you know, what you read and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what you see with a little bit of skepticism, you
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: healthy skeptics. I think the best thing is, you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: looking at their tape themselves and you know, right form
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: your own opinion for your own opinion. But but just
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: keep in mind what you're seeing on YouTube or whatever
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is probably all their best stuff. Yeah, you know, so
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know they also do things wrong as well. Um,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: so you know, it's it's a it's just a blend.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm looking at starting to look at
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers and uh, you know the top guy
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: from Ohio State, you know, he's really only played um,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you know, one year where he had that big year
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: last year, right, which position during the wide receiver? Yeah? Uh,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you're talking about or the other guy? No, the other guy. Yeah,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: his name is escaping mcgarrett Wilson. Yeah. Yeah, So I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: mean a lot of projections he's going to be the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: number one wide receiver off the book could be yeah,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you know, now in terms of ranking, you know, Williams
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: is regarded as the second guy. But I mean he
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: had his injury in January. You know, he's not going
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to be available until deep into the season, I think, right,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: but even even if he's available earlier in the season,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: he's not going to be Yeah, but the player that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he was before the injury, right, it will probably be
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: at least the year from now before he's that way.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: And if you look at he's only played one year,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: really yeah, a lot of them, especially at that program
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: where the depth chart is so yeah loaded that you
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: don't have a chance to play until you're a severe
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: but you know later in your career, right, So you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: but that year was huge. Yeah, you know, so take
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: advantage of it, right, So you know, it's it's it's tough,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's um but I I need to look a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: little deeper in the wide receiver. Like I just said,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I just started, I'm sure there will be somebody that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: really catches my eye. Um, and you know, I'll I'll
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: fall in love with I'll fall in love with the guy. Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: The other thing I find fascinating about the draft, uh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the pre draft process itself is like if NFL teams
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: were we're better at Like, like if their success rate
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: with with the draft, by and large was somewhere in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood of like, you know, eighty or nine, Like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: more often than not, the work they do results in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: making a pick that works for them and the guy
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: sticks around. Like, if the success rate were much higher
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: for NFL teams, I'd be more willing to say, you know, oh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: guys who worked in that industry that you know they
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. You can really rely on that.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: It almost seems like for everybody, whether you're a professional,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: whether you're in the media, whether you're just a fan
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: looking at a guy's tape, it's damn near impossible to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: tell whether or not the guy's going to be a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: good NFL player or not. It's hard, you know, even
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: if your job is to be a professional scout for
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a team in the NFL. These guys get it wrong
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: so often. Yeah, with a player like you may it
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: makes you wonder, like, why is it so complicated? Because
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: they're human beings, you know, the players, Yeah, they're human beings,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and you don't know how they're gonna, you know, react
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to all that money, yea, all that pressure, you know, teammates,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the competition. You know, you're you're in college and you're
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the best guy out there, and then you come to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the pros and everybody's a superstar, right, you know, everybody
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: won the Buckets Award or the right you know this
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that and the other award. You know, they're all all
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this and all that, and it's like a funnel because
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in high school you were the best guy from your
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: peewee team or your your Pop Warner team, and then
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: in college you were the best guy from your high
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: school and you know, the strongest survived there, and so
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it's like you funnel your way down. That's why so
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: few of them makers, right, And so now you know
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: it's all those things. You can't predict how the player
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: is going to react to that. Yeah, it's it's I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: just find that aspect of it more fascinating than you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: who's gonna pick what and where and all that stuff,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: because yeah, and anybody knows. And then you know, these
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: scouts or you know, the talent evaluates. Evaluators have their
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: own biases, yeah, intentional or unintentional, where you know, they
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: had success with a certain type and so they gravitate
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: towards that type of player. And you know, they need
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to brow and you know they're you know, their their
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: frame of reference a little bit. And it's hard to
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: do because you go with what you know, and uh,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you got to change up a little bit.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And so I I, you know, I was watching the
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Patriots behind the scenes scouting. It was on Patriots dot com.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I think we posted it a couple of weeks ago.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And what would press me or what struck me was,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of young people in our personnel department.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know Matt grow and and all in,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Marshall Oakum and all those guys. These are young guys,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a good thing. I think that's
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a good thing. I think, you know, they're they're more
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: tuned into the newest technology and evaluation methods, and you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now you lose the experience obviously, but but I kind
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of like having these young guys with Belichick, who's got
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the experience that he can impart onto them. But you know,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: coming in with fresh outlooks. Do you think that it helped?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: And Patricia, by the way, sure, do you think it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just that sparks something in me now that I'm
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: trying to I'm trying to uh analyze. Do you think
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the younger scouts have an advantage in scouting players who
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: are basically contemporaries of them as opposed to a guy
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: who's been in the league for decades and is like
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: looking at them as like, oh, this is my son
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: or my grandson. Like I think I think there's give
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and take. But I think the young guys are closer
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to the modern athlete, you know, to these young and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: closer to the pro you know, they most of these
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: guys played, you know, even even if it was at
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: a lower level, called they played college football more recently,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: so they know what these kids are going through and
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I think I think that's a positive.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I think that's something you can you can you can
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: build on, um, you know, having having that just fresh Outlook. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I wonder too, because we've all played youth sports or
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: high school sports. We've all played sports at some level,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and generally the best evaluators of the talent are the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: players themselves. Oh yeah, like to play the kids know,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: you know, who's the best kid out this? This This kid's good,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: right Yeah, Like even in the schoolyard when you're picking,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you know, in gym class, everybody knows who the best
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: athletes are, right, Like, it's easy for the kids to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: decipher that mystery of who's the best player out there?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Right right. So it's almost like to your point about
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the young scouts, like maybe they they understand more because
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they're closer to it. They're like, they know who's they
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: know that. But I think that's just the beginning. As
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: we've talked about, you know, knowing who the best player
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: is is just the start of it. Yeah, who's gonna
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be the best teammate? Right, who's gonna who's gonna deal
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: with all this stuff that a pro has to deal
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: with best, and that goes beyond just their ability, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and those are the things that make it tough. You know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: if all you had to say was who's the best athlete.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I think I think the scorecards would go way up
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for these scouts, you know, but it is a hell
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: of a lot more to it, right, because you get
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the guy who's a talented player, but he's kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: lazy and he gets his big contract and all of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a sudden doesn't like to be told to do. It's
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: not coachable. It's not this, he's not that. And then
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you get into the injury stuff, you know. It's so
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: that's what makes it. They're human beings, right, They're They're
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: not just you know, athletic robot. The fame gets to
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the head, yea, for some of them, it does, and
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: so that's that's what makes it, you know, really difficult.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Eight five five Pats five hundred is the ace ticket line.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Eight five five Paths right hundred. Web Radio at Patriots

• 23:19
  Speaker 1: web radio at Patriots dot com is the email address. Uh,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: phones are heating up, so let's go over to them stack. Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: we'll start with Melvin and Tennessee what's up Melvin's going on?
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: That sweet kid? I got a question really must about
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Servor Lawrence right with the JAD. So if you have
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: an athlete like that, he searched along to find like
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Um, but the organization is just a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: man right, obviously, I think it even going even worse
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: than he could have originally imagined that that is all
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: over the place. Wouldn't you already be somewhat like check
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: out with wanting to stay there and send up watching
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: somebody like looks like Matthew Stafford. I've been somewhere and
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I don't want to like I want to say, waste
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: my career, but you know, resigned there and be wasting
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: white good years. I could be playing um with sometimes
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the organizations that just not ready. Do you feel like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: he's somewhat I want I guess checked out? But this
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: year coming up would be really important for I'll feel
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: like me if I just would feel like I would
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: want to get out of here. Yeah, I don't know
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: what they're telling them, you know, and like what's going
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on behind the scenes, Like, um, you know they're making
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: changes over there, So I don't know what that what
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they're telling him, like, you know, sticking there, it's gonna
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: be all right, or if like you said, he's he's
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: completely checked out. But you know, I think he's got
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to he's got to put his best face forward because
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: even if he does want to leave, he doesn't want
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to be thought of in his third you know, coming
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: up into his third year of a malcontent like this
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: young kid who's already like pissed off and wants to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: go somewhere. Lawrence, Yeah, this is only a second year. No,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: he wasn't drafted last year. Yes he was. Oh he was.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Oh that's he was the top overall pick. Okay, so
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he's going into a second year, right, Yeah, Why do
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I think that mac Jones was in a different draft. No,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: he was just further down. Yeah I know that, but okay,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: so he's going into a second year. So regardless, like
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: this early in his career, he doesn't want to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: looked at as someone who's like I want out already, right,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you know, And I mean it's only been one season,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like there have been plenty, Like like did you would
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you have had the same concern about Peyton Manning after
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: his first year in Indianapolis while I went three and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: thirteen but not Peyton, but like, well why not? But no,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: but Eli, I remember when he got drafted, he didn't
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: want to be where he got drafted, like he took
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of criticism. That's yeah, right, it's true. But
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm just going by like just because of
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback starts and has a horrible rookie season, right,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean he's like giving up on life. No, NFL. No.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: But I think to Melville's point, like I don't think
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the Cults were in such disarray as the Jaguars were, right,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, like the like the the what was it
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: kind of work they were. They were a woebegone franchise
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: for well, they weren't winning, but they had Bill Polian,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: they had they had a good structure around yeah, you know,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: around Peyton Manning well and maybe for Lawrence you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the hiring the you know, shedding the deadweight that was
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: uh urban Meyer is going to be good for him
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: because now you've got a former NFL quarterback who's a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: former super Bowl winning coach. No, that's what I mean,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: like to come in and sort of shepherd you. Yeah,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: they've made changes so like I don't know what they're
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: saying to him, you know, behind closer, like hey, Trevor,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: we admit that last year was a was a disaster.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's the whole point of hiring, right Peterson, right,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and to try to inspire him to say, hey, look,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: don't give up. We're still gonna So if I was him,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't be wanting I wouldn't be like
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I want to be traded. I wouldn't be doing that, right.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I would be you know, being the best teammate and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: player for that team. I possibly could you know, company
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: guy and see where this thing goes, you know, um,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: because I think it would it wouldn't be good for
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: him to have that reputation so early, right, you know, Yeah,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: it's important for him. Like you want to say about Peterson,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: any player, you have to have some type of faith
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in your coach out right, just going out with you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: with what happened last year. It's just like this is
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: really bad, Like they have to hit on this Peterson deal,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: you know, because of that doesn't go hap. I mean,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: we're just now I'm gonna get three coaches and three years.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I mean like we're going on right. Well, you know,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: we talk about um coaches who didn't do that well
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: the first time around. So obviously Peterson won a super Bowl,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: so we didn't do that bad. But I think that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the second time around, you it's so much better, you know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: as a coach in the NFL. And I think that
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: you know, Peterson's gonna If you don't, you don't get
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a third shot, right. But Peterson's gonna come to this
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: with stuff that he learned, things that he did wrong,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: things that he did well. And I think, you know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: he's gonna build on that. And oh and speaking, you're right,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and I sorry sorry to cut you off, but you
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: just reminded me of something that was in all the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: clips today that I was reading about. I guess Josh
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: did a sort of media availability where he was adamant
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: that in Vegas, I am not establishing the new Patriot
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Way here in Las Vegas. Right, we're gonna do things
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a different way, but when our way, which is completely
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: opposite of what he did when he got to Denver. Yeah,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: all those years ago where he was like wearing the
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: hoodie with the sleeves cut off, he was twirling the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: whistle like he was doing everything to try to mimic
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Bill except like imitate his voice. And I think he's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: really making an effort now to be Josh McDaniels, not
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to be Bill Bellett check. So yeah, that just reminded
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: me that something else that was getting a lot of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: attention today. Yep. So I mean, now, what does that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: really mean? You know, I'm sure, like he's not gonna
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: just do the opposite just to do the opposite. I'm
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: sure there's gonna be a lot of things that Patriots
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: did that he would do, but sure. But I mean, look,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: he brought all these people with him from the page,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: but he wants to get away and he should, you know,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: like he wants to create his own right. And I
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: think when he was I forgot how old he was
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: at the time, but he's like, what is he like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: forty five ish around there now? Yea. And in two
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: thousand and nine, when he got the Broncos job. Look,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: he was only in his thirties, early thirties. Like he's
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: grown over the past decade or more as a coach.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: As a person, he's probably more comfortable in his own skin.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: He knows who he is when he was when you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that young, Like, think about when you were that age
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and like if you were put in charge of everything
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: in your company at that point, Like you don't have
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the institutional knowledge, you don't have the professional skills, you
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: haven't developed as a person. Much like I think you're
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: right about guys in their second chances coaches. You either
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: learn from it and get better or you're you're not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: cut not cut out for it at all. Yeah, like
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: urban Meyer. H Yeah, he didn't learn like in the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: floor like he did okay in Ohio State. But it
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like he learned much from the experience in Florida. Yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: you know, and uh and certainly he was a disaster
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. You know. I I think he's got mental problems, honestly,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Well he's it sounds like from the reports when when
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that all that stuff went down last year and a
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: lot of his assistants were sort of leaking out what
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: was going on. It sounded like he was an egomaniac. Well, yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: I just don't. It was like, you know, it's about why. Yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, relax, the buck doesn't stop there. He's more
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: than willing to throw people under the bus. So that's
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: not a guy you want to work for. Then you
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna right, He's not, He's not. He doesn't
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: have your back. But basically, um, yeah, so you know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I I get what Melvin's saying, but I think Trevor
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Lawrence needs to be a good soldier for now, absolutely,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And and listen, he the team recognized
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: that with problems and so and that's a good thing,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're a player, like okay, they agree
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: with me, right, Like it's not us, it's them. But
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I do agree that this is a big year for him,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: for all these second year quarterbacks, especially the ones like
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Mac and him who actually got to start and play
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: a lot last year. What do you do now in this? Yeah,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: this second year? What did you learn? Right, let's go
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to Brett and Austin. What's up? How about spiing? Freds Now?
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: What's up? Speed? What is going on? Yeah? There we go. Hey,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: let me apologize to you Speed. I tease the other
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: day that I was going to read your poem and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I never got to it. I apologize, Well, I made
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: a promise. And we call Eric Paul Bunyan because he's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: the cutter down of trees. I recycle like crazy though.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: It makes up, it does, fred I'm soap that you
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: mentioned Severance. Um, my friend works on that. She does
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: graphic design on that show. I haven't watched it yet,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do it now that you mentioned it. Um.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, apparently there's this this cool climactic scene with
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a computer screen that he did, so keep your eyes
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: still sounds pretty cool. Oh nice? Okay, yeah, yeah, so
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I got some language bugaboos. Oh this has legs. I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: love it. We talked about that a lot on Tuesday too, Freda,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's a universally universal topic. Um, you know,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: just a couple like keeping. Um. You know, Paul had
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: said that irregardless is not a word. Unfortunately, it is
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: a word. It just means regardless. It's just it's it's
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: kind of like flammable and inflantle haven't made mean the
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, so yeah, but it does mean the
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: same thing. And but is it in the dictionary as
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a word. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the word. Wow. Okay,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Well I don't like it when people use it. Yeah
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I look down on people. I snub my
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: nose at people who do it. That's funny, because that's
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: there They're intense is to like be able to think
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that they're bigger than you, that they're better than you,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and they're just doing they're right. Yeah right, And like
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: and Brian had called in about resiliency, and the same
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: is true of relevancy as opposed to relevance. It's another
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: one where it's just like why do you add the syllable?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it's like it's just trying to be pumping.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. But the two main ones I had
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to call in about were, first of all, over use
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and incorrect use of storry. And I think that sorry
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: about the gender stereotypes here, but I think men and
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: women do it different. Women over you sorry, like apologetically
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: uh when they have doesn't apologize for And then and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Paul does this a good amount, um, so we all
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: do it. I do it is uh when you're just
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: like you're you're you're making a point and you're like,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you're not sorry. Yeah right, you're not,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: You're just you're you're you're just asserting right, point right,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: thinking it, like being delicate about it. Yeah right, that's
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. I like that. And and the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: other one I got before I as off is uh
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if you agree with this, because
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Christian had brought up when at the end of us,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: then somebody says like right right at the end of it,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: which that made me think of. That made me think
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: of the sort of other side of it. When you're
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: staying something to somebody, whether it's an opinion or a fact,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and they respond you by being like right, or as
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Paul says all the time, correct, like what like what
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: did I pass your like analytic witness test? Right? Right?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Who are you to be telling me that I was
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the one I came up with the right answer correct?
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Speak well, like Paul likes to validate, you know what, Yeah,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: well what what Eric says? I come completely agree with?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Oh great, yeah, thank feel better about myself. Thank you.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: The other one that you just made me think of,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the other one you just made me think of, Spee
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: is when people start a point with you know, to
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: be honest? Right? Does that imply that you normally aren't
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a right? Why wouldn't you be? Or why wouldn't you be?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I assume you're always gonna be honest, So if you
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: don't start your sentence with that, I can assume you're
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: not being honest, right right? Yeah? Yeah? Well anyway, that's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: that's like I'll salt the poem one more time and see. Okay,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: all right, sounds good space. Thanks on a daylight today. Yeah, um,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: let's see srisa Shrisha from Bangalore? Right, sin, what's up? Shrisha?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a fun place. Hey can you hear me?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: We can't hear you. Okay, you're talking about seven. I
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: think that's the name of severance. Yeah yeah, yeah. Um.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: A movie called Paycheck. I don't know if you've seen.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: It's a naffless movie movie. It's kind of like a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: similar uh uh class line. Basically, he goes to work
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: in a company and to protect the intellectual property of
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the company, he gets injected something to his brain and
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: when he leaves the company twice everything that he had
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: worked on and England what's the name? I think I
• 36:29

• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the memory, he sends clues to himself, right, yeah, escapes
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: from getting kids. Well well, and then that reminds me
• 37:27

  Speaker 1: um where every day this guy wakes up and he
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: can't remember anything from the day before, so he has
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: to keep writing these notes to himself and basically he
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: has to start over every day reading these notes to
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: see where he left off. And it's it's a really
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: it's a well done movie. Who's in that? I don't

  Speaker 1: words and drafting, Brian and Ireland massive Patriots fan. Uh
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: love all the work you do, even Eric. Uh, just
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: wondering how ye produces the words monkey and donk donkey,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: even though both are spelled the same except the first letter,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: but pronounced totally different. Yeah, monkey and donkey. Yeah, that's
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: the English language in a nutshell. There are so many
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: words that are spelled the same that don't sound at
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: all alike. Yeah, and why isn't it monkey and donkey
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: or donkey and monkey, monkey and donkey. Yeah, yeah, so
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, we pronounced them differently, right
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: or at least I do it. Oh, yeah, you do it.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: It could be donkey because you like adding syllable. No, no,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you are correct, Fred. Yeah. Um, let's see who else, uh,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Aaron writes in Love the Offseason Talk. Um, I sometimes
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: find myself getting annoyed when you go back to football,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: especially the Grammar talk. On Tuesday, you guys spoke about
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the most popular athletes. Sikin Tendelker, the Indian cricketer, was
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: and still is, treated as a god. So was that
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a topic you guys were talking about. At the end
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: of the show. We kind of were like, somebody wrote
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in and asked us who is the most beloved athlete
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: of all time? Okay, and I said I thought it
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: was Jordan could be and plus because he's you know, worldwide,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: he's got the transcend dental uh, you know, transcendent sports
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and everybody knew who he was. And I mean we
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: kind of agreed that maybe some of the soccer players, yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: nowadays that yeah, like if you're in Europe, you asked
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: the same question. It might be a different answer, but
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: completely different, right, you know, like if you're in Brazil,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it's pale right, that's brought up his name too, you know.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Also just wondering your thoughts on if you can technically
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: have a wrong opinion or not. If an opinion is subjective,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: for example, I think this or I believe that, as
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: opposed to them being objective stating that this is or that.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: A buddy and I had a week long debate over it,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: with him saying a subject active opinion can be wrong. Cheers, guys,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: enjoy the Easter celebration. Well, there's a difference between opinions
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: and fact, you know, we breathe there, Oh, in my opinion,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: we don't. Okay, well you're wrong, You're wrong. I mean,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: that's no longer. That's just a misstating of a fact, right,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you know. So that's where I think it's different. But
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I like, no, if it's a subjective thing, that's the definition.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: It's subjective. There cannot be a true right or wrong,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, I mean, if I think that severance
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: is good, that's my opinion, right. But like if you
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: had said Batman was bad, Matt Morrell would say that's
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: completely wrong. That's a fact, and that's good. But you know,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: we all know that that's not you know, that's that's
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the definition of subjective, that is that there is subjectivity
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: into it, right, you know. So I think that whoever
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: argued that opinions can't be right or wrong, what's correct?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: That's my opinion correct, that's my opinion. But it's a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: good one. It's a good debate. Yeah, yeah, you know, Um,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: let's see, let's see. You want to keep on the subject. Yeah,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you want to call in, but it's going to get
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: lunch right now, I think. Um. This one is from
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Scott and Charleston, South Carolina. As a Patriot fan, I
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: often focus too much on my team and not on
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: our competitors. What are some key things the Patriots do
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: differently than other NFL franchises. Some of the things that
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: come to mind are are week to week uh, deep
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: game planning. There are some coaches out there that kind
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: of do the same. Yeah, but I've heard enough from
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: players that say that, you know, that's what Bill does
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: is amazing And I think, you know, because of what
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: he wants to do from week to week is why
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: he always like guys that were versatile because he wants
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to change it up depending on another team's you know,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: strengths or weaknesses, whereas I think there are some teams
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: with really you know, great rosters where it's like, I
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: don't care what you do, what we do, Like you know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: back in the old days, like the eighty five Bears defense,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was a game play defense. I
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: think they were just so good that it's like, we're
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: just gonna stop you. And the scheme was so revolutionary
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: at the time that, yeah, teams didn't know what to do. Yeah.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Then he also mentions our complex playbook now here. Again,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to me, that was all because of Tom Brady. Tom
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Brady allowed you to have a complex playbook, you know,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and it was built up over twenty years. I think
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the playbook, you know, even though the system might have
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: been the same, the playbook when Tom Brady was in
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: year one of his playing was not as complex as
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it became in year fifteen. Yeah, you know, and you
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: do you know, you have to cater to the people
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: you have on your team. You can't like just assume
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: guys can do things where when they can't, you know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of a little mythical. You know, like now,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: I don't think our playbooks that complex. I don't. Well,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: it couldn't be last year because of right, they had
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. They had to like, you know a little
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: bit our aversion to hiring expensive talent. Um. Well, I
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: mean for a long time Cincinnati had that reputation too. Yep,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to spend money on players. But you know,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: like so, yes, the Patriots aren't always the flashiest term
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: and team in terms of you know, signing the big
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: free agents. They have done that in the past. Yeah,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: there's always exceptions to that. But you know, you go
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: back to Poli and you know he was a little
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: bit more out there talking about their philosophies and he said,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: you know, we we like to build a strong middle class.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: You know. Um. Now, you know, now people are like
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: so caught up in what the Rams are doing and
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: the AFC West in general, and you know, the spending
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: spree that they're doing. That you know, maybe the Patriots
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: need to like, you know, change up a little bit
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: and you know, look ahead and know that, yeah, these
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the salary cap is going up. We know it's gonna
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: go up, and in two years it's going to be
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: forty million now than it is now. So let's sign
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: those contracts now and roll that money into future years
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: so that we can fit it under the cap. And
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: that's what Paul you know, talks about. When cap is great,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: you can do things like that, you know, But if
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: a COVID happens, you're screwed. Yeah, you know, like a
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: lot of teams were when they lowered the cap, you know. Um,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: But so you have to be willing to take some
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: lumps for term you do. Um. Let's see. He also
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: says our ability to turn undrafted free agents into quality
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: NFL starters Yeah, I mean again, so that's where we
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: know our team and we know those success stories. I'm
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: not sure like if you add him up, if other
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: teams don't have the same number of undrafted guys who
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: become quality NFL players, yeah, they're actually I mean I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: think that what was it? The Chargers and the Colts
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: were two teams who had a longer streak of having
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: undraded players on their roster than New England did even
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: but I will say this, you know, to support that
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit, And I'll go back to ninety six
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: when Parcels brought in Belichick and lawyer Malloy, who had
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: you know, just spent two weeks with this new coach, said,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: the guy's a genius because he's able to make it
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: sound simple to us, like everybody understands exactly what they
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: need to do. So if you're an undrafted guy coming
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: on to the team and you're told this is what
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: we need you to do, and you do that, you're
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: gonna get noticed by the coaches, and you're gonna get
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: more opportunities. And so I think that the ability to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: show your worth on the Patriots might be a little
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: higher than maybe some other teams because what you're asked
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: to do is so clear. It's so clear either you
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: can do it or you can and if you can,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: you move up. You know. Um Our value approach to
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: getting people, Yeah, a few more. Our value approach to
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: getting people in free agency? Well yes, and no, I
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: mean last year was that a value or exactually wasn't
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: When they signed Gilmour was that a value approach? Now?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: You know? So it's you know, things, things I can
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: say we do better than most teams. Yeah, quite honestly,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: planning for a Super Bowl. Yeah. Our discipline approach to football,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I think every team has that. I don't think they're
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: you know, our short term thinking, focusing on only the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: next game. Well, I mean yeah, there are a lot
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: of teams yea. And then finally, and then he finally said,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: our focus on special teams. I mean that's where you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Bill had a special team's background. He does value special
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: teams as a thing or to the game. So I think,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I remember who was the coach of the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Saint Louis Rams when we beat them. Marts Yeah, you know,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: like a year or two later saying, you know, maybe
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I should spend a little bit more time thinking about specialties.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was right, that was an admission. Yeah.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: So anyways, good, good email, good email. Yeah, all right, Um,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. Lots of other emails

  Speaker 1: That'll be the last question. Uh. Yeah, So Draft Show,

• 59:55
  Speaker 1: start at seven thirty and go all the way through
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the draft. So round one, yep, looking forward to that. Yeah,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Round one is always exciting just because it's the first round, right,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: you want to see the marquee names. This Round two
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: and three on day two are usually exciting because that's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: when the Patriots make most Yeah, and then day three
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: we make no promises. But um, you know, live in
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: the draft party back live, you know, um COVID's over
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: for the most part and just gotta get these matches
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: off the planes and we'll you know, so you know,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: people are back here at Let's Stadium for the party.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: So we're excited about that. Excited to get back in
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: person with all this stuff, good stuff. Speece sends us
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: the poem. I guess we'll read it. I mean, I
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: don't like it, but you know he spent time doing it,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: so I will read Speece poem. There was once an
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: old man named Bill whose time was just nearly at hand.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: He had to decide to play young or old guys,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Knowing Shula's win record could stand, so Bill figured he
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: knew a way for both he and Pat's fans to cheer.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: He'd run it on back with a thirty plus pack
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: that could squeak in the playoffs each year. Yet Billy
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Boy figured it wrong, because fans want a team that's elite.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: The risk averse plan of red shirting young men would
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: not keep those butts in the seats. Poor Mac was
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: stuck there in limbo with no high end wide outs
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: in sight. The revolving door cycling Veteran's Galore Jones play
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: never reached its true height, and still to this day
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: we wonder if Build only torn it all down, maybe
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: short term remorse would run its due course so a
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: new corps could carry the crown. That's that's really depressing.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: This is a from the perspective of the future. It
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: didn't work, right, He's he's writing a poem lamenting something
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: that hasn't happened yet, right, boy, Wow, that's really sad.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, so sorry, Spee can't give you, can't
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: give you a correct But for though, really nice. I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: like the flow. The rhyming scheme worked, yeah for the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: most part. Yeah, good stuff. Now you you insist that
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: poems must rhyme. This is one of those those argument
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: remember before we were talking about if you have an opinion,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: that can be wrong, right, right, Like anybody who believes
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: that poems don't rhyme or wrong right in your opinion
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: my opinion. Right now, I feel like I understand that
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: there's high Ku, there's Iambic, Pantameter, there's like, there's different
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: things that are not pros that are considered poetic poetry
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: poetry right to me, the most poetic thing is a
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: is something you write that rhymes to me, there was
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: a girl from Nantuckett. Well that yeah, it's more limerick.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: But but yeah, but it's if it takes real skill
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: to say what you want to say and have it rhyme,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: I think, which is why I like poetry that rhymes. Okay,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: all right, and no, Hiku doesn't really because I'm waiting.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: I always hear a high coup and I'm waiting for
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: the rhyme to drop, and then I remember it's one
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: of those high coups. It's not gonna rhyme, and I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: hate that. Yeah, it's like waters trembling down from the mountain.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Do I stare or jump in? Who knows? That's not
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: a poem, that's that's just words that mean nothing. Okay, Yeah,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I like if someone offered that up, I'd say, Okay,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: you know that's crap. You know, someday you'll be in
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: fourth grade exactly. M Rozsie in Los Angeles writes it,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: A colleague wore a football jersey to work the other day.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I had the PU crew led by MB voicing disapproval
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: in my head. Worse yet, it was a JaMarcus Russell jersey.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I couldn't resist, So I asked him why Russell? He
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: said he collects jerseys of high profile NFL busts. He
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: also has a Ryan Leaf jersey. First, I think that's
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: a fantastic reason for a grown man to wear a jersey. Second,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't really think of high profile bust from the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: recent years that would warrant a Jersey purchase. Jamis Winston.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: Who else so high profile busts? Well, I mean compared
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: to JaMarcus Russell. Jamis Winston is a Hall of Famer,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, he still is a He's like a you know,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a bona fide NFL quarterback who is a marginal starter yea,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: or or a really good backup, you know. I mean,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't really call him a bust. He maybe
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: he didn't live up to first hype, you know, everything
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: that was said about him winning the Heisman and all that,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: But he's not a bust. I wouldn't consider him a bust.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Where was Drew Locke taken first round? U Upperton Middle
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: Area rust? Maybe not yet too early, I don't know.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: I think more Jake Locker as that. Okay, like Drew
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Locke is at least still he's still in the league.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Like I think a guy's of busts who are like
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: really completely like gone after like a couple of years. Yeah. Um, yeah,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: it's hard to remember because we can't even remember guys
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: who were drafted last year. Right, all right, high profile
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: bus recent recent we know the old ones you know,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: um Patrick writes in about Memento, it was guy Pierce
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: was in it, in Carrie in Moss. Oh, she's the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: one from the Matrix, right, Yeah, isn't that who that is?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Carry Moss? I don't know from the Matrix. She's the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: girl that's in the Matrix, right, Yeah, I don't know
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: from you didn't watch the Matrix. Of course I watched
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: the Matrix. I don't know her name though, because that's
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: all she was ever in. Oh is that right? Right?
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: It's her, right, Matt, that's her name. But I didn't
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: know that either. I didn't know. It's Trinity. Yeah, I
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: know who Trinity is, but like, I've never seen her
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: in anything but Matrix. She was in Memento, right, but
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. You haven't seen Memento? No? Oh,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: you need to see Memento. Is it that good? It's
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: really good? Really? Yeah? Wouldn't you say did you see it? Oh?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: He has Matt has to see it. A rarity that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: he hasn't seen it. Wow, But if he did see it,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: I would have guessed he would like it. Uh, Roger
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: and Saint Louis, I have a full ball question, But
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I'm curious curious about Mike's thoughts, so I'll save it
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: for next week. For TV shows, my girlfriend and I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: are getting through The Sopranos and we just finished season three.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: It's excellent TV, but the scenes with Tony's kids kill
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: all the momentum for me. Also, this new season of
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: Atlanta is pretty good if you're interested in a surrealist show.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: But my real recommendation is Barry on HBO. The new
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: season comes out this month and it's absolutely hilarious and dark.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen I haven't heard about. I mean, I
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: know the Sopranos. He's like a marine killer that decides
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: to be an actor. Henry Wrinklers in it, and um oh,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: I can't think of the actor's name who plays Barry.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: Is it a comedy actor? You know him? Is it?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: It's a comedy dramedy drama? Okay? Okay. Also from the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Grammar conversation, I really hate when people get there, there
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and there wrong, you know, the three different spellings, especially
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: in print, because I have to read a sentence like
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: five times to understand what they're trying to say. Yeah,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a common one. People make that mistake
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, especially when they run into the
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: SPF win box. I remember I lost a spelling be
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: in I don't know, third grade of something, and there
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: was the word and I got two cracks at it,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: and did you not ask for the use in a
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: We didn't do it back then. So thh e R
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: not it's wrong t h e I R. And I
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: just couldn't think of t h e y apostrophe R.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: They gave you a contraction. Yeah that's not fair. I know.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Well they used it in a sentence, so I know,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: but yeah, you're not supposed to put a contraction. And
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: so like I just like, this is it. This is
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: the only two I know. And it was thy apostrophe R.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: That's I would have called. I would have thrown a flag, Yeah,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I would have. I would have rumped out of the
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: out of the classroom. Yeah, third grade. You know, you
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: get hit by the nuns if you This isn't gonna
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: surprise you at all. I won I won my town
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: spelling being of course in eighth grade. Yeah, the word
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: was petucket and a lot of people can't pronounce patucket.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: But then I get to the states, so you know,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: if you win the state, you go to the script
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: spelling being Washington Wow. And I'm like, I was so
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: sure I was gonna destroy this. And I get there
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: and round one I get mohair, a word I'd never
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: heard in my life at that point. I'm thirteen years
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: old or whatever. It was mohair and okay, and I
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: asked for the sentence of the definition all that I
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: didn't know what it was. So I spelled at mw
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: h ai r mo hair right and no incorrect. The
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: girl who came right after me, who ended up winning
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know what they gave her what mascara?
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, girls were makeup. I gave her mascara, right.

  Speaker 1: You never had a mohair coat. I'd never heard of it. No, Okay,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: is it is? It? Is it fake hair? I can't remember.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just realized what our next
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: challenge is A spelling off. A spelling off. We need
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: the rules. It would be a spelling speed spelling speed. Okay,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: we'll see who's the best speller. Eric, I'll take on
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: the Rhode Island champ I was a North Providence champ
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: I Providence the Hills of North Providence. Yea, so was
• 1:09:27

• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: final round was me and this other kid and it
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: went on for like fifteen minutes because we were both
• 1:09:36

• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: the kid cracked on, did you did you feel like

  Speaker 1: nervous with no? Because I knew I was better. Oh wow,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: and I hear this. You hear that, You hear that?
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: The swagger? Oh yeah, I had it back. I had
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: it back then. And then the one I the word
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: I wanted on was mesmerized okay, and I knew I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: had it in the bag. Then. I remember my parents
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: are like, you had this big smirk on when they
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: gave you the word, and I was like yeah, because
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: I knew it was in the bag at that point.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: What tripped him up? Do you remember? I don't remember
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: what word tripped him up, but I remember when he
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: was spelling it. I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that's wrong guy.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah I got this. Oh wow, yeah, oh wow, no
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: surprise to our audience. And this was you were on thirteen.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I was, uh, it was eighth grade, so I would
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: have been yeah, something like that. Nice. Yep, that's great,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: Matt and Madison, Wisconsin. I've been loving Grammar unfiltered lately.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Here is my language pet peeve. A lot of my
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: relatives out east say idea instead of ideas, and it
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: drives me crazy. It's like nails on a chalkboard and
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: people say Warder yep, you know that's an accent, yeah,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: or Washington, DC. Yeah, you know. But we we joke
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: about it on the show all the time. You know.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: We always add the R towards that end in a
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: right and we take them off of the ones that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: end in her love the offseason talk looking forward to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: the draft, hoping we can get ourselves a good cornerback. Also,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: I saw that Obj is one hundred minus one hundred
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: and ten odds to join the Pats. Thoughts on this
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: is it possible? I thought I right around the time
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: where they signed m Whosi a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of talk about objm here. Yeah,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: and I mean he's he said he was when he
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: signed with the Rams and what was it, November December?
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Whenever it was? He said at the time he was
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: close to coming to New England. So I think you
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: put those two together. He's talked about Bill and glowing
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: terms before, so I think people and Plus he's coming
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: off an injury, and you know how the Patriots love
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: to sign guys who have knee injuries. Yea, so it
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: makes obvious sense. But I mean I at this point,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: I whatever, He's a guy coming off he just got
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: an injury in the Super Bowl, right Like, he's not
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: going to be anything special. Bill and Albert Albuquerque. So
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: Paycheck is a math action film directed by John Woo.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: He's a big time action director. Directed Face Face Off,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: m Am I Am twelve, Mission impossible too, Oh the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: worst of the mission impossible to try to sell it out.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: It's based on a Philip K. Dick story. He's the
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: guy to look at when you talk about memory sci fi.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: He wrote the stories that became Blade Runner in Total Recall.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, So enough sci fi talk. Now that the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: Browns are heavy at quarterback. Any interest in Baker Mayfield?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: What would you give to get him? Or do you
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: even want him? Well, Baker Makefield is gonna want to start. Yeah,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: he's not coming here. Well, I think let's just say that.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: You say, okay, he's what is his third year or
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: something like that. Fourth year, we're gonna go with him.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of mac Jones, would you you
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: know that would be the thing. You don't just bring
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: him in, Yeah, bring him in with the intention that
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: he's better than mac Jones. I don't want to give
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: up on mac Jones. I don't either, not for Baker
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Mayfield certainly not no, nope. But Mayfield's do you think
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: he's got a future? Mayfield? Yeah, yeah, he'll He's not
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: you know, he's not a bust. We would get back
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: to the bust argument. He's a competent NFL quarterback. He's
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: got to find a job somewhere. It's just a matter
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: of does a team think he's worthy of being there
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: there a guy, or is he a quality backup? You know,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe he's one of these guys that ends up
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: being the quality backup and that's how he extends his career.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: But I don't think he's much more than that. H
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: Tyler and Nadek imagine this, He says, Robert Kraft comes
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: to you with the request that the New England Patriots
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: we're splitting into two teams, one on Cape Cod and
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: one in Providence. He tasks you with coming up with
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: the mascot that would best represent the team's new homes.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: What would be the ideal mascot for each team? Cape
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: Cod and Providence. Well, cape Cod has to be something
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: to do with the ocean, right or the Yeah, the ocean,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: you know, right, the sharks or something like that, right,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: and Providence is just you know, corruption. Don't even start right, Yeah,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, what do you do for Providence? Uh?
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: We could do the uh yeah, we could do the
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: water fire logo, right, the Providence waterfires. Independent man. Well,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Providence is called the Ocean state, right we are, Yeah,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: we are the Ocean state. It's called the Ocean. Yeah,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: not Providence. That Providence is the Renaissance. How about the
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: pro the Providence Foxy Patriots, No Scott No, named after
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: the Foxy. That's probably the most famous thing of Providence, right,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: the Foxy Lady. The independent man is not bad, Matt,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: That's not bad. Providence Independent man. Yeah, it's like that.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: It's like the statue at the top of our Statehouse dome.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: He's known a the independent independent man. Yeah, just does
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: what he wants. He's independence. Rhode Island has had that
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: from the beginning. You know that Rhode Island Independence Day.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: Rhode Island declared its independence two months exactly before they
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: signed the Declaration of Independence. May fourth, seventeen seventy six
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: is Rhode Island Independence Day. They declared their independence. Somewhat intelligence,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I was born there, so I can say that you
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: were born in seventeen seventy six. Yeah. Right. Also, a
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: grammar slash phrase that has always drove me crazy is
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: when people say I could care less instead of I
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: couldn't care less. I make that mistake and every time
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I do Andy would correct me. Right right, Yeah, I
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: couldn't care less as the proper way of using that. Ye,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: let's see and spe He's very active, he says in
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: the US, Michael Jordan is the most respected athlete of
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: all time, but Babe Ruth is probably the most beloved.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. Like I
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: was thinking, I gotta call Bogus on that one. I
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like, if you had to pick one player
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: who was the iconic player of that sport, who would
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: it be? And so for baseball, I picked Babe Ruth.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: That's a different argument though, right, completely different. You know,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: different criteria. Yeah, so I think it's Babe Ruth. I
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: think it's probably Jordan for basketball, Yeah, I think for
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: base I mean for hockey, it's could be Gretzky. Probably
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Gretzky at this point. Yeah, you know, I was gonna
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: say Gordy Howe just because of the longevity, but Gretzky's
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: the right answer, Yeah, I think. And then for a
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: ball football, that's a tough one. That's a real tough one.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: But I think it's got to be Brady. I think
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: it's Yeah, I think yeah, now, yeah, before Brady, who
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: would it have been? Well, I you know Montana, I'd
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: like Jim Brown, Yeah, you know, but like Walter Payton.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like, if you have to think of
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: one person for the sport, who is it? Right now?
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: It's Brady. Especially with the it's got to be especially
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: with the age breaking records, being MVP caliber at at
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: this stage. Yeah, and then I was going, okay, let's
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: go rings, let's go beyond that, like men's track and
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: feel women's track and field. So for women, I think
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: it's flow Joe, right, isn't that Yeah? Maybe probably it's
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: a good one. I'd say using Bolt for track maybe
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: US Bowl, yeah yeah. And then for tennis that's a
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: that's a tough one too, because I think you got
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: three of the top three are playing right now right still.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: But when you think of tennis, who do you like,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: who's that iconic tennis player you know? Well it I
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: think it depends on your age, because some people would say,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: like Rod Labor, Rod Labor, right, and like none of
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: us ever saw Rod Labor play right live? I did live.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: I actually hit with him. You hit with Rod Laby
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: I did? And Cape Cod get out of here. Yeah,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: it was he was, um, he was in town at
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: the time. It was World Team Tennis and I was
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: at Roberts thing that he was involved with him with
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: the yeahs on the Lobsters, and I was working at
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: the mid Cape Tennis Club and he just needed someone
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: to hit with. What was he there for? Just something? Yeah?
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: They were warming up practice. He was part of that thing. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: And I got to hit with him for like twenty minutes.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: He had the old wooden racket and the pants and everything,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: and he's a lefty two and his left arm was
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: so his forum was so big it made his right
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: arm look deformed, really like his form was like massive,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: like like a Popeye. Yeah. Massive. I just remember, like,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: holy cow. You know that's a cool story, yeah, Hansel,
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah no, but it really is. I wow, Rod Rod
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: labor Um. But anyway, tennis for me, for me, it's Federer, Okay,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: but I know that arguments could be made for Borg
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: or like I think it really depended on when you
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: grew up. Yeah, because like McEnroe for a lot of people,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: is tennis, right, you know, John McEnroe's tennis, but some
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: people it could be Samperus, like when they grew up,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: like it's a tough one. Tennis is a little bit
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: more tough. I don't think there's an obvious What about
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: for women's tennis, it's got to be Serena, right, it's
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: it's gotta be Serena. But before that, like you know,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: stephie Graf, some other people would say, you know, Margaret Court,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: how about Chris Chrissy Everett, you know, or Martina. Yeah,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: I you know, like I love stephie Graff. I thought,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: you know, like she was just the best, but then
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Serena came around. Yeah you know, but that's another goal.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: And what about golf? Men's golf Anyway, I'm not his
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: versed on golf because I never I think it's between
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: two pe Tiger and Nicholas, Jack Nicholas, you know those two.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: You know it's one of the other. You know, I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: can't really give an opinion because I wasn't really a
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: golf person. Yeah, but I mean I always knew the
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: name Jack Nicholas, and I wasn't a golf person, right,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I obviously know Tiger, and I'm not a you know,
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: I think nowadays probably Tigers the name. Yeah, I think
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: curling Stan Kroke, you know, it's easy. Yeah, but those
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: are the kind of after those sports, I think it
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: gets really obscure. I mean, soccer can oh soccer, soccer
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: can be I should there's an argument there obviously, for
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: we talked about Pela before, but Ronaldo nowadays, Messie for
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: a while was that guy. But I think like Ronaldo
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: is now getting close to the Brady territory with like
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: he's not quite as old as Brady, but he's old
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: for the sport and he's still playing at a very
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: high level. Yeah, and he's won and he's won, right,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: and he was like leading he led Sarah and goals.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: I think the couple of years before he got to
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: Man United, he scored like some ridiculous number, like one
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: hundred goals in one hundred and six games for Juventus
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: when he played there, something like that. That My numbers
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: could be a little bit off, but that's a ridiculous
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: amount of goals for a guy who's in his mid
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: to late thirties. Yeah. Um, Jack writes in a boxing
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali hands down, Yeah, no doubt yep. Yeah, well
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: you don't want to put your hands down in boxing,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: but no. But yeah, that's the first guy that comes
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: to mind when I think of boxing is Muhammad Eli.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: Some people, you know, might be Mike Tyson, you know,
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: just because of where they grew up, but I think
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: it's Muhammedan. Yeah. Yeah, well he's another one too that
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: transcended the sport. I mean Tyson kind of did too,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: you know, in his own way. But no, not nothing
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: like Ali, especially with all of his you know, his
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: out of the ring stuff that he is known for. Yep.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: Um Brian in Indiana, there's a book from an NPR author,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: David Rakoff, that is written entirely in rhyme. It's called Love,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: dishonor Married, Died Cherish Parish. Has Eric read it and
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: did he like it? Sounds like a game we have
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: on Patriots Unfiltered. You haven't read it. I had not
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: heard of it. Okay, well that sounds that sounds great.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: I love this, Honor Mary Died, Cherish Parish. Wow, Okay,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: the whole thing is in rhyme. Yeah, I love it.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I think that would you
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: would get yeah, I would do on your nerves. Yeah,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: I would get a little bit tedious. I'd like to
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: see it, though, just to see how far he can
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: take it, like, like, how long I can get to
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: beforem like okay, um, we get it. James Pettigrew, the
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: most interesting Patriots fan in the world, says Sam Darnold
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: is a modern day Busts. Busted yet I mean probably yeah, yeah,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: that's probably a good one because I mean, yeah, he's
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: flamed out in Carolina. He's not gonna really, I mean
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: he has he's still in the league. But that's that's
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: a pretty close one to a bust Okay, Bell and DC.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: If you love Memento, I'd strongly recommend the new show
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: called The Tourist. It's on HBO Max and it starts
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: with a guy who's in a horrific car accident in
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: the outback and wakes up with total amnesia. Nobody knows
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: him and he has to slowly find out who he
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: was and where he came from. This isn't a spoiler,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: but he's got a lot of bad people chasing him,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: and each episode ends with a number of jaw dropping reveals,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: which keeps you hooked through the entire series. Tons of
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: violence and really good acting. Okay, what's that one called again?
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: It is called the Tourist. The Tourist? Yes, all right,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: let's see. Nick writes in I haven't actually been bringing
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: shows binging shows, more so comedy specials. I'm not sure
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: how much you like stand up, but there are a
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: lot of great new specials out right now. The new
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: age of comics are really good. Of course, you have
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Dave Chappelle, Yam Sagura, and Bert Kreischer. Some new comics
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: to watch with really good specials are Taylor, Tomlinson, Sam Morrel,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: Mark Normand and Andrew Schultz. They're all on Netflix and YouTube. Okay,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: I do like a good stand up I do too. Yeah,
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: well you used to be what Wow? Sure I tried
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: my hand at it for a while. Yeah, and I
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: loved it. Okay, I don't think you guys would like
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: that couldn't pay comedy? Who they mentioned and that you
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like his comedy? Why what is it? It's like
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: stoner porno comedy. Oh st stoner porno comedy. He tells
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: stories about being stone and porn m and his daughters. Oh, okay,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: wide ranging. No. My favorite comics back in the day
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: were obviously Jerry Uh. I loved Paul Reiser, similar type
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: of like observation. He's a snarky little um. Snarky Paul,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the original snarky pol Paul Reiser. And I know I
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: liked Tim Allen's show. I liked Home Improvement. I never
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: really watched his stand up though, Yeah, huh Arlin. George Carlin,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: oh uh yeah. The reason I liked Jerry and Paul
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: was because, in my opinion, it's tough to make people
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: laugh without swearing. And you know, George Carlin obviously was
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: known for the mouth, and a lot of comics rely
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: on they used swearing as a crutch, like and I
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: used to see this sometimes in the club when something
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: wasn't going well, they'd just start with the profanity, and
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: people would kind of laugh awkwardly at because the guy
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: was swearing, and you're in public. To me, if you
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: can make somebody laugh without it swearing, that's you're really good.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: And that's why I loved Jerry. And Jerry never swore never,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: and neither did Paul right and well he maybe Paul
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: did a little bit in the stand up here and there,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: but like it wasn't like he didn't rely on it.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: Some of these comics like were like, yeah, what's his
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: name from Massachusetts? Bill Burke? No, no, no, no, no. Uh.
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: Andrew dice Clay, he was in that. He made a
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: TV show about Fireman. He's from Worcester. Oh yeah, Dennis Leary.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Thank he used to be one of my professors. He
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: used to drop the all right, yeah, the toothpick and
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: everything like that was that was a shick like but
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: one exception I'll give you, and it's I know it
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: sounds contradictory, but Andrew dice Clay the first time I
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: heard him in a in a comic special, Yeah, that's
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: all he did was swear right, freaking hilariously. I didn't
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: like him at all at all. No, you didn't find
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: him funny. I just thought it was just I didn't
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: like the stick. Yeah, I wasn't into it. Well I was.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: I was probably fifteen years old the first time I
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: heard it. And back at prep school, and you know,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: each dorm you have a teacher who's responsible, like they
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: would live, they had their own apartment that was attached
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: to the dorm. They would like the dorm maaster. They'd
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: often invite young men. No, but they like on like
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: you know, some some nights you have like a like
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: a like a dorm function, right, like everybody's in in
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: in you know, you order food in or whatever. And
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: our dorm master brought in Andrew Dice Clay's uh stand up,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: what was it called the dice Man Cometh? I think
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: was the was the show? And he's like, all right, guys,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: He's like like, don't tell anybody we're watching this, but
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: I know you guys have heard about him and you
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: wanted him. So he's got he's got the VCR tape.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: That's how old it was. And he puffs this in
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: and oh my god, it was the first time in
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: my life the phrase. I fell off my chair laughing.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: I actually fell off my chair. I was laughing so
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: hard listening to Andrew Dice Clay. Yeah, oh yeah, I
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: just didn't really think about I think I was a
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: teenager and that kind of stuff, like a you hear
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: an adult talk like that. A lot of like that's funny,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: Like my kid was young. A lot of the kids
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: love Dane Cook and who was a thief, right, and
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: I he stole a lot of his comedy from people,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: And I never saw. I was never like I. I
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: liked Dane Cook and then I found out that he
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: was stealing from other comics. Yeah what his brother robbed
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: him of every Yeah, he was like his agent or
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: his manager robbed him literally of his money. Really. Yeah,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: comes around all right, people have been waiting hanging on
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: the phone. Thank you for that. Let's start with Sean
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: and Vancouver. What's up Sean? Hey, fred I got a
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: few things, so Paul made me get a new wall clock.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: I was listening to the show on Tuesday, and you
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: guys thought, well, you guys, well Eric and thought I
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: was in a car with my blinker on and it
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: was it was my damn clock. I didn't realize it
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: was so loud. So now I got I got rid
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: of Ben getting that is like I I cannot and
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: you know you don't have ticking clocks anymore. Everything's digital.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: But in the day, I could not sleep if there
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: was a ticking clock. Really couldn't do it. I guess
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: I was used to it. It didn't like ever become
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: like white noise, no background taking clot and like the
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: tell tale heart over here. Yeah, but Fred that that night,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: it actually it got in my head and I couldn't.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: I woke up in the middle of night and I
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't go back to sleep. I had to take out
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: the battle right, Yeah, I hear you the first time,
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: like I noticed it of after years. Yeah, you could
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: not hear it at that point. Onto the TV things Severance.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: I've watched the whole series. One thing I don't get though,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: is why would Lumen bother with severance for these people,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: because you think corporation would do that to stop why
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: people like who are learning espionage about it are people
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: that are are gonna find out terrible secrets. But like
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: these people, anyone could do their job there, there's no
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: reason to do it for these people. I don't nderstand
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: why they're doing it. No, well we don't, but I
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: don't want to give away things, but I think that
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they're going to have a season two, right,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll find out then. Yeah, I think there's there's
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: gotta be because not everyone at LUMAN does do the severance,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: you know, no, no, right, these people, it's like why
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: those people? Right, there's certain things, there's certain things that
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: certain people are doing that requires that, and we'll find
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: that out, but not the main characters. That's until until
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: maybe later we'll find Yeah, but the other shows. Barry
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: is amazing. However, I don't binge it because it's it's HBO,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: so I watch it every week and it's it's basically
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: Bill Hayter is is great and the real real hilarity
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: of the show. There's a couple of characters. One is, um,
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: this this guy from North Hollywood is because his name's
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: NoHo something or other. And then the other one's played
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: by Stephen Rude is his managers. It's just amazing. Bill

  Speaker 1: he played Milton. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. He's
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: so funny. Um. The other the other show that that
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to coming back, it's the final
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: episode is Ozark on the twenty nine Okay, so really good. Yeah,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of people and I'm I can't wait for
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: a better call Saul uh. That starts up Monday. I
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: believe with its I think it's going to be its
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: last season. Okay, And with Carl and I have to
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: disagree because he's brilliant and in my opinion and his
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: his he does swear. It was known for the seven words,
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: but it's not protubitous. Yeah everything Carl and that has
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: a point, yeah, because yeah, I mean he's really clever,
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: but you know, like he kind of grates on me
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But boy, you know, in his time
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: he was he was groundbreaking. Like this type of stuff
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: he was doing was was amazing. Did you like any Murphy? Oh,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: his first two his first stand up that the one
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: that they did the movie one. I like everyone, yeah,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: everyone it's seen it, right, I hadn't. I hadn't seen it,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 1: and um, but everyone was talking about it and so
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: like a year later, I was at this bar across
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: the street from where I lived in Boston called Our House,
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: and it was like, yeah, it was like a living
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: room and they had couches and TVs and they were
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: playing Eddie Murphy raw. Everybody in the bar had seen
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 1: it except me, So I am just like falling out.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: I am like my stomach hurts, I'm laughing so hard. Yeah,
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: I'm the only one laughing because I'm the only one
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: that hadn't seen it yet. But it was it was hysterical. Oh,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: it was hysterical, but I'd say Eddie Murphy was was
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: more gratuitous. Yeah, probably, you're right. Oh, yeah, you're right
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: to think about it. Yeah, he had a potty mouth. Yea.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks Sean, appreciate the call. Let's go to
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: Jay and San Jose. What's up Jay? That rhymes yeah,
• 1:32:52

• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: you knew the way to San Jose? Andy stop, which
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: makes me an a a listener. I suppose I was
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: hoping to uh get all four of your opinions day.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: It sounds like there's only two of you guys. There
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: today is that well, Matt's here wants Paul, Paul and
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: Duce have been very quiet on this show. Yeah, I
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: figured I figured that if that's possible. So here here's
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 1: my question, guys, um, I was arguing with a friend,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: and like I said, I'd like to get four of
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: your guys opinions, so I may actually call back next
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: week when all four of you there, but I'll give
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: you guys that head to start. I was arguing one
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: with a friend of mine and I'm not going to
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: tell you guys which side I was on, but we
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: were arguing about if there was anyone better and in
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: the NFL history then rising their game in the playoffs
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: than Julian Edelman. So that's my question. Can you guys
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 1: think of anyone that rose their game to a higher
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: level than Julia Edelman Julian, excuse me Edelman in the playoffs?
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Can you think of anyone in his It's a great
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: it's a good question. I mean, Jerry Rice obviously had
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 1: some really good players, but he was great, great during
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: the season two. Yeah, Danny A. Mendola came up with
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: the nickname Playoff. You know him, But it's it's a
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: good one. I have to really think about it. You know,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: guys that made their name in the playoffs and we're
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: okay in the regular season, but really took it to
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: a next level. You know. Yeah, I'm going I'm gonna
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: shoot you a couple of names that came up. Um
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: John Taylor, but I thought he was pretty good in
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: the regular he was, he was. He didn't get a
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: lot of How about Fred Blintnekoff, you know, I just
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: I don't remember specifically, you know, he was the Raiders.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: He was I didn't really watch. Yeah, maybe I'm not sure.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: But like you know, um Taylor, I don't know if
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 1: like he did that much more in the playoffs but
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: regular season. But that brings up Lynn Swan, Like was
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: Lynn Swann? Did he elevate you know? Terry Bradshaw absolutely okay, Yeah,
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: that Terry Bradshaw stepped up his game in the playoffs.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what did he? Yeah, it was not
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: a great regular season quarterbacks from my recollection. And linz
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Wan's an interesting one. I know in some of those
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls Rays MVP, he only has like three or
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: four catches however, Yeah, which it's interesting. Yeah, but that's
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: the way the game was Man Stalworth? Stalworth was I
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: think a better receiver than linz Wan. Yeah, yeah, that's
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: an interesting over his career. I'll give you a Celtic
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: who did kind of epitomize this, Cedric Maxwell. Yeah. You know, well, well, listen, guys,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: I may call back next week U and if you
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: guys want to do a little homework on that, because
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be interested in the other guys opinions. And by
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: the way, before I go, Carlyn worked great, Dirty you're
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: breaking up a digital break up. We broke up, so
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: he could really do both. Okay, I just wanted to
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: leave guys with that as well. I'll call you guys
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: back next week and sp guys came up with any
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: more names. But I'd love the other other boys opinions.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks Jay, Yeah, I will not think about that for
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: one second after the I might. You know, it's a
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: it's a good one. It's a good topic. Guys who
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: stepped up their game in the playoffs. You know, I
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a huge list. Yeah, just off the
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: top of my head. Yeah, Edelman's a strong contender obviously.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: You know Desmond Howard, I mean, you know, I don't
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 1: know he had that one player. Yeah, but you got
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: to do it for more than one game exactly, you know, right,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: you have to have have had a reputation for boy
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: when playoffs come around this guy. But in order to
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: do that, you had to have been on a team
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: that was in the playoffs a lot, right, So you
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: only are talking about the Cowboys, the Niners, maybe the Steelers,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: I mean one a lot of teams that had that
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: kind of success, like Edelman had a chance to do
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: it a lot, yep, because he was on a team
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: that was in the playoffs. What about great players in
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: the regular season who disappeared in the playoffs. That could
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: be That could be another, That could be another one
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: another topic. Mark is in Bolton. What's up? Mark? Um Well?
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: First off was one of the great possession receivers of
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: his time. Um So I don't think he elevated in
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Somebody comes to mind as like Rabel, But
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: that's that's by the point where I really what I
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: really called in to talk about was the draft. Um.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: I really hate when you know he really like a
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: player as a great value, like four weeks out or
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: six weeks out from the draft, and then you know
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: somebody that the Pats might have been able to get
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the second round, and then when
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: it comes draft, you know closer, it's like a crap,
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 1: we can't get him there. Um. And that player from
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: me is George Pickens, wide receiver from Georgia. UM. I
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: think he's really a true number one. You know, he's
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 1: got that size at six three one ninety five, He's
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 1: got the stub four or five speed. He's got an
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: incredible wing sprint span of like seventy seven eight inches. Um.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: So now if we want to get him, we got
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 1: to sort of go to the end of the first
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: round or or top of the second round. Um. I'm
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: not sure what you guys think of that player. But
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, if I know that the Chiefs at twenty nine,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: they really like Jamison Williams, you know, Alabama receiver, so
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: they're a possible team that would trade up to twenty
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: one if he's still there. I know Detroit's probably gonna
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: want a quarterback there at thirty two, so they might
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: be interested. And Jacksonville at thirty three. So I don't know,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: just you know, just a draft pondering on that wide
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: receiver spot or well you want to take Williams at
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: at twenty one. Yeah, I'd rather have a cornerback at
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: twenty one. But you're not You're not alone. Mark, there's
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: I don't remember which of the mock draft people did it,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: but um, if you look on Patriots dot com, we
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: have a mock draft tracker you can kind of scroll
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: through there. Somebody picked your guy pick Hickens as the
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: New England's pick twenty one. So yeah, that's that's I
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: think you can get them later. So you're saying, like,
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: trade down to maybe twenty nine, maybe pick up an
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: extra third, and you can still get pickings, you know. Yeah,
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: yeah you can do that, I suppose. Yeah. I mean listen,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: if if if they end up with a wide receiver
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: some way, somehow in their first two picks, I'll be
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: I don't I have no problem with that. Yeah, I
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: have no problem with you know, and it number one. Well,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, I mean, but Mark, the problem is
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: in the fourth or fifth round. Yeah. But the problem is,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: if you want a true number one receiver, you gotta
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: be picking in the top ten most likely for for
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: a sure thing. Yeah, for sure, There's been plenty of
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: one guys that ended up being number ones who were
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: picked in the second round, no doubt, a long list,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: no doubt. But your chances are better if you pick
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: the guy sure who's a stud already. Yeah, well, I
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: don't think there's that many of them. I mean, you know,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Drake London supposedly, but he's no speech or he's got
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: the great height and size. I mean they're talking about
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 1: him in the top yeah, ten fifteen, Um, and I
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: see a lot of traits that this guy has in
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: in the same way. I mean, yeah, I like the
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: cornerback if somebody like it, you know, if Booth is
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: there or Wheatley's there, Um, you know those those those
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: are a couple of elam some of something that e lamb.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's good enough to be twenty one,
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: but sure, you know, if you're gonna make the pick,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: I wanted to be a pick that's gonna be that.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: That's a pick that that that's a lot of money,
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: right and yeah, you know that's certainly not an offensive guard.
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm sick of that narrative. Yeah at twenty one. Well,
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: my guy, Um, let's talk about guys that you know
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: might be available in the NFL. Now, my guy, from
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers um deebo. Samuel took down all his
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: forty nine or posts um from Instagram and Twitter. He
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 1: wants out and he's asked, and for twenty five million
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: a year? Would you give it to him? You would? Right? Yep? See,
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: as much as I love him, I don't know if
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: I would. But that's what he that's what he's looking for.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, look, that's the going right now for
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: me really, Tyreek Hills, Tyreek Hills making thirty million. I
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: guess what's his name, Davante Adams just got twenty eight
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: and a half or whatever from the Raiders. So that's
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood now that I guess. I guess. I'm just well,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: what are you going to give up to get him?
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, he got you'd have to trade for him?
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean yeah, you'd have to give up
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: your first round pick and plot probably plus something more.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, like, uh no, no,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I'd rather I'd rather draft
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 1: my guy and pay, you know, and pay him what
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: a drafted player is for five years, right, Um, but
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: you know that. But Samuel's a sure thing. Well you know,
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: I hear Mark, you just threw out a phrase there
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: for five years and somebody. I've been seeing that a
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: lot when people right into our Q and A inbox,
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: and I I understand what you're saying. A first round
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: pick has the option for the fifth year, So you
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: think of you think, on the high end, you're gonna
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 1: have the guy for five years, but there are plenty
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: of cases where the team doesn't pick up the fifth
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: year option. Yeah. So, I mean New England just did
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: it with your guy Sony Michelle. But if the guy
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: turns out to be a Deebo Samuel, then you want
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: to do exactly. But like, I don't think of a
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: first round pick as oh, he's under contract for five years.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: I think of him at just like every other draft pick.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: It's a four year plan and then after year three
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: you got to decide whether you want to pick up
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: that option. Yeah. So I don't think of these first
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: round picks is automatically like five years. No, but you
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: have they can be. They can that's right point, they
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: can be. So it's a little bit more security for
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: the team to know that they can have this guy.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: But but if the guy's that good, you're gonna want
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: to well, and going into his fourth year, you're gonna
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: extend him if he's that good, You're not gonna wait,
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: you know. And and yeah, you know you're gonna want
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: to wrap them up you know early, Um, rather than
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: wait until the end of his fifth year. Well, but
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: case in point Isaiah Win. They picked up his option, right,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 1: But are they in a hard to extend him, No,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: So there are examples where that doesn't happen. That's true.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: That's true. Different position, obviously, like a skill position would
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: be a matter. But I think but that's the point though.
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, it depends on the position. Left tackle is
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: a high cost position, so it led them to a
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: fifth year. Wide receiver is a high cost position. Cornerbacks
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 1: the high cost position. Defensive ends the high cost position.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 1: So those are positions that it's worth it you actually
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: do get the fifth yea to spend them into ten
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: years A different story, right right, all right, Mark, thanks
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: for the call, Appreciate it. Um. Let's see getting back
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: to the emails web radio at pictures dot com. Good
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: calls and emails today, by the way, appreciate it's been
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: a strong week for those Yeah, I think, um, you know,
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: without without Paul here people feel, you know, freedom express themselves. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go drink. Ben and Brooklyn a couple of
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of um grammar things I can't stand include
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: same difference. I don't hear that as much anymore now.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: I've heard that a lot when I was a kid. Uh,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: if two things are the same, there is no difference.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: The misuse of mano amano from man to man. I
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: know we do that. You say manana when they do
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: the off the defensive line drills when it really means
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 1: hand to hand combat. Manoamano still works, right, Yeah, especially
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: at those defensive and confusing swag which is free stuff
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: at an event with swagger. It's true, swag is stuff
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: we all get it is. But you could you could,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: you could say swag is just a shortening of swagger.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's it's incorrect. Opinion. Correct. That's a
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: good one. That's that's a good one. Um. Let's see
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: Burt on Burton Island has a would you rather game?
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: Would you rather? Would the twenty first pick get a
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: guard who was on the Patriots for ten years, playing
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: at or near Pro Bowl level all ten so, like
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 1: Logan Mankins, yeah, or get a corner who plays on
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: the Patriots for five years as a starter, all five
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: making the Pro Bowl twice. Uh, probably the corner because look,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: you're in the AFC and you've got offenses that are
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: slinging it all over the place. You need help there,
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 1: and you got to you gotta get help fast. Yeah.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: I'll take the corner. Okay. Um. Would you rather keep
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: Patriots history exactly as it is or change the O
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: seven Super Bowl to a win but have to change
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: two other super Bowl loss to a loss? And if so,
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: which two? No? I like having the six? You like
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: having six? Yeah? Okay, especially because only the Steelers have
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: done that. You were in the Steelers are the only
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: ones with six. Yeah, that's I mean, if you had
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: a perfect season, it'd be great, but it would change things. Um,
• 1:46:16

• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: I'd say Wimbledon, you know for me. Yeah, we've talked
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: about this before though, I would love to. You know,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: if I ever become a man of leisure, I would
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: love to take a a year and go to all
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: four majors in the same year. So absolutely start in January,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 1: go to Australia, watched the Austi Open. Ye, go to
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: France in May, watch the French, go to London, watch Wimbledon,
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: and then blows it out at the end of the
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: summer in New York City. Yeah, I would Wimbledon would
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: be my first choice. Then the US open, then the French,
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: and then fourth Australian. Poor, poor Australia, so far away,
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 1: you know, with the airlines these days, you never get there,
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: Joel writes in Shit's Creek is my favorite show. I
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 1: know Fred has mentioned it in the past. I just
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: finished watching it again and is just as good as
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: the first time around. Memento was an amazing movie and
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 1: Eric should check it out. My language pet peeve is
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: when people start a sentence with I mean. I hear
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 1: Eric say it a lot, which is surprising to me.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: An example is when a reporter says to a player
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: that was a great catch of the player says, I mean, yes, thanks,
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: you are going to hear it all the time now, yeah,
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: I probably I mean, yeah, you're right, you probably will. Yeah. No,
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 1: I'm if I do do that, it's it's unintentional. I
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 1: will try to be conscious of that from now on. Right.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: I it's not a grammar thing, but I just this
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: two types of talking that I just can't stand. It's
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: the vocal fry. Have you heard that? The vocal fry?
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 1: You know what that is. It's like people, Yeah, I know,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: they and like their sentence like you know, like the
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: word like I think the Kardashians started it years ago.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: It's like a West Coast thing that a lot of women,
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: but some men do it too. You really like vocal
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: fry is uh that? That's that grates on me? And
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: then the other words up talkers. You know, we're gonna
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 1: go outside to tomorrow. Oh I can't stand that, and
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do this, And especially when people are like
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 1: in a business meeting and they're giving a presentation and
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: every sentence is up talking, It's like, are you asking
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: me or are you telling me? You know, I just
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: I just can't stand, like I want to correct them.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you don't want to do that, you know.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 1: And if they start the sentence with so, well, so
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: everybody does that. But the up talking in the vocal
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: fry are like the vocal fry, I've never heard that expression.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: I know what you're saying about it, Yeah, but I
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: don't hear people doing that that often. You hear that
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: a lot? Yeah? People? Oh yeah, really yeah, yeah, I
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 1: do you know what I'm talking about, Matt. Is it
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: like is it like in in exasperation, like like I'm
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: so tired. I just know it's it's it's not, it's
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: not tired. It's just how they how they talk. Yeah,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: oh that's bizarre. Yeah, it's it's a really bad effect
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: as they say. Yeah, yeah, I can I can see
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: that with great on me too. Probably you've heard it,
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah in the office probably. Yeah, it's all over
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: the play on TV. It's on TV a lot, you
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: know a lot of commercials like for like, um, women's products,
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 1: you know, like uh like bras or no, I'm serious,
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 1: I'm being serious really yeah, like it's the best bra
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 1: you know. Oh oh god. Oh see now I'm gonna
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 1: now I'm probably gonna see and hear it all over
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: the place. But I had never really, i'd never heard
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: that term before. See. Now everyone's gonna start emailing in right, yeah,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: pat nag Kurt Cobain started the vocal fry. I didn't
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 1: know that it could be true, Hurt Cobain. Yea, but mate,
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know if did he mean he started saying
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: it or did he dub it the vocal fry? I
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: don't know. Because he's dead. We can't ask him. We
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: can't ask him, you know. Um Kareem in Boston has
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: a question for Eric as a fashion guy, what's one
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: color that you avoid wearing and your thoughts about gray
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: on gray outfits, gray on gray on gray outfits. Yeah,
• 1:52:55
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of wearing a lot of gray today. Actually
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: that's a brownish gray. But I mean I have a
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: gray undershirt. Yeah you do. I'm wearing like a dark
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: gray khakis, but leather shoes from an animal. Nahum, any
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: color that you avoid, I couldn't see you an orange.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: I have some orange stuff, but it's more like I
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: would wear that like in the fall or maybe like
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: if I have an orange T shirt, I'll wear that
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 1: in the in the summertime, like at the beach or something.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: But um, there's like a puke color green, Like green
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: is my favorite color, but it has to be like
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: like the green that the Celtics wear, like kelly green
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: or emerald green, that shade, but like a pukey color.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: You see some cars are like this color, like it's
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 1: just vomit looking green. I will not wear that. Well.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: When I was a kid growing up, like a boy
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: would never be seen wearing pink. Oh, we live in
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: different times, but now you live in the right so
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: or I remember, you know, because I went to Catholic
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: school and you had to wear a uniform. Yeah. The
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 1: only thing you could really kind of express yourself in
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: was your shoes. Oh I thought that time. No, the
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: tie had to be this green. Yeah. So the shoes
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 1: you could wear like different types of shoes. Could you
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: wear sneakers, couldn't wear sneakers, couldn't wear sneak. But so
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: I we went, you know, you'd go shopping before the
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: school year, and I saw these like blue type of
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: swede shoes, so I bought them. First day of school.
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: I saw these girls with the same exact shoes, and
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: I never wore them again. Did you get made fun of? No? No,
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: but I just never wore them again. Did you buy
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: girls shoes? I don't know to this day, I don't
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 1: know really whether or not they were. But we all
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 1: went to the same mall, so you know, she probably
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: I never wore them again, you know, because you're that
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: insecure when you're a kid. You know, where are you
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: on socks? Because I know people are big into whether
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 1: I'm on my feet. I mean, yeah, I'm not into
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: like like these guys kookie designs. First of all, they
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 1: wear these short pants and their suits. That's another thing
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: we can get into. Oh, I know, but it's a thing.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 1: It's hideous, I know. But they all wear it. And
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: then they wear these you know, crazy colored socks with
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 1: the short pants don't match. Yeah yeah, and I'm not
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: into it, right, I really the socks have to match
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: something in the outfit. What what I've what I don't
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: care about anymore, is like white socks with dark pants.
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: I don't care, like, like you shouldn't. You probably shouldn't
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: do that. Yeah yeah, Like, um, like, I'm wearing white
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: socks now with black shoes, and I would never have
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 1: done that years ago, But now I don't care like
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, and I don't care about sandals and socks.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: It's much more comfortable and hygienic. You're never gonna convince.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: And I don't care what anyone says, Well, you don't
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: have to. It's it's you know, don't knock it until
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: you try it. It is much more comfortable and much
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: more hygienic. I don't wear sandals or I wear flip flops. Yeah,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: well then you don't wear socks with your flip flops.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 1: But I've seen that in the locker room. Well no,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: the slides, no, no, no, no, no, no. Larry zoh. Yeah.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Remember Larry, he used to wear socks like his his
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 1: game or practice socks. Yeah, and he would put his
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: flip flops on. So like with the thong with the thought,
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: I was sticking to that that it does. It doesn't
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: look at those doesn't feel but I can see like
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: they have the slides where you can slide them out
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: of practice. It's different. You just throw yourself. I'm talking
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: about the flip flops where you have that little group. No,
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: I know that. I don't like that look. It's like
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: it's like you, you know, it's bizarre for your toes.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: You're getting a wedgie and your toe. I don't like it,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: don't care for it. Yeah. Um. Patrick follows up in
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: his Kurt Cobain he says it's not a joke. He
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: Cobain sustains a long vocal fry at the end of
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: the song moist. Oh. I can't say that, um, but anyway,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: um yeah, I don't know. Maybe he was the first
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: to do it. I thought it was the Kardashians. I
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: thought that they were the ones that kind of popularized it.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: So because you know, they start so many things that
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: people copy. It's unbelievable. You know. I wish they would
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: go away. Oh god, second, they have a new show now,
• 1:56:52
