Speaker 1: Hi again, everybody. I'm Dan Horde and thanks for downloading
0:06
Speaker 1: The Bengals Booth Podcast. Uh feeling blessed, never stressed, got
0:13
Speaker 1: that sunshine on my Sunday Bassist edition as we savor
0:19
Speaker 1: the sweet nectar of victory for the first time in
0:22
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season and of the Joe Burrow Era
0:25
Speaker 1: a thirty three twenty five win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
0:29
Speaker 1: Coming up, you'll hear radio replays, postgame comments from players
0:32
Speaker 1: and coaches, and in depth analysis from my broadcast partner
0:36
Speaker 1: Dave Lapham. And this week's fun facts segment is one
0:40
Speaker 1: of my all time favorites. If you are not already
0:43
Speaker 1: a fan of Mike Daniels, I promise you that you
0:46
Speaker 1: will be after hearing our conversation. The Bengals Booth Podcast
0:50
Speaker 1: is presented by Prime Sport, the official hospitality partner of
0:54
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. And here's a quick reminder that you
0:57
Speaker 1: can have the latest edition of this podcast delivered write
1:00
Speaker 1: to your phone, tablet, or computer by subscribing on iTunes, Stitcher,
1:04
Speaker 1: Google Play, Spotify, or pod Bean. It's the greatest thing
1:09
Speaker 1: since oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies. I hate raisins I particularly
1:16
Speaker 1: hate raisins that ruin a perfectly good oatmeal cookie. You
1:20
Speaker 1: take a bite hoping that those little dots are chocolate chips,
1:24
Speaker 1: only to be fooled yet again by the presence of
1:27
Speaker 1: the evil raisin. Well, this past Saturday, my good friend
1:31
Speaker 1: Megan Coffee brought oatmeal cookies to the UC football game
1:35
Speaker 1: that did, in fact contain chocolate chips instead of deer droppings,
1:40
Speaker 1: I mean raisins. Megan's cookies were fantastic. So if you
1:46
Speaker 1: bake and ever consider making oatmeal cookies, do everybody a
1:51
Speaker 1: favor and go with chocolate chips instead of raisins, because
1:55
Speaker 1: very simply, raisins ruin everything. Now let's get to the game.
2:03
Speaker 1: It couldn't have started much better for the Bengals. His
2:05
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's defense got a takeaway on the Jaguars fifth play.
2:09
Speaker 1: Minshi throws over the middle. He batted up in the
2:11
Speaker 1: air and intercepted. Jesse Bates deflected it, Jordan Evans intercepts it,
2:17
Speaker 1: and the Bengals will take over in Jaguar's territory at
2:20
Speaker 1: the forty three yard line. But typical of the first
2:23
Speaker 1: three games of the season, the Bengals failed to capitalize
2:26
Speaker 1: they gained three yards in three plays and had to punt.
2:30
Speaker 1: It turned out to be Kevin Huber's only punt all day.
2:34
Speaker 1: The second time the Bengals got the ball, they drove
2:36
Speaker 1: into the red zone before stalling and calling on Randy Bullock.
2:40
Speaker 1: He has made eight out of nine field goal tries
2:43
Speaker 1: this year. We all remember the miss, unfortunately, the snap
2:46
Speaker 1: and the kick. It is up and it is good,
2:49
Speaker 1: and the Bengals score first with two forty one left
2:53
Speaker 1: in the first quarter here at Paul Brown Stadium. The
2:56
Speaker 1: three nothing lead only lasted for about two minutes. Quarterback
3:00
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who came out to warm up about two
3:02
Speaker 1: and a half hours before kickoff in a sleeveless T
3:05
Speaker 1: shirt to show off the guns, a crop top to
3:08
Speaker 1: show off the abs, and a backward baseball cap to
3:12
Speaker 1: accentuate the mullet, gave Jacksonville the lead first and ten
3:16
Speaker 1: from the eleven yard line. Minshew, under center, takes the snap,
3:19
Speaker 1: fakes a hand off to Robinson, throws it toward the
3:21
Speaker 1: back left corner of the end zone. Chark is there,
3:24
Speaker 1: touchdown Jacksonville with the Jags up seven three. The Bengals
3:28
Speaker 1: answered with an eighty eight yard drive that brought them
3:31
Speaker 1: within inches of the goal line. From an eye formation,
3:34
Speaker 1: Burrow under center, he fakes a handoff to Mix and
3:37
Speaker 1: he throws it toward the back left corner of the
3:39
Speaker 1: end zone in his cause. No picked off took it
3:43
Speaker 1: away from sample Are they saying that he did take
3:45
Speaker 1: it away? The officials are discussing it in the back
3:48
Speaker 1: left corner. It's an interception. Miles Jack came away with
3:52
Speaker 1: a ball. Jack came away in coverage with the football.
3:54
Speaker 1: It was a lousy call by me, and it's easy
3:58
Speaker 1: to second guess the play call as well. Third and
4:01
Speaker 1: goal inside the one, and rather than a quarterback sneak
4:04
Speaker 1: or a Joe Mixon run, Burrow's pass was picked off.
4:08
Speaker 1: Here's Zach Taylor third and goal in the inchyard line.
4:10
Speaker 1: You know you kick yourself. Well, we gotta make that point.
4:12
Speaker 1: You know, that's a fifty fifty point that we gotta make.
4:14
Speaker 1: And so we left a lot of points on the
4:16
Speaker 1: field best for sure. But that was the last drive
4:18
Speaker 1: all day where the Bengals were trying to score and didn't.
4:22
Speaker 1: After Jacksonville field goal made it ten three, the Bengals
4:25
Speaker 1: found the end zone for the first time one o
4:28
Speaker 1: three left and a half, the Bengals down by seven points.
4:31
Speaker 1: Burrow extends the hands, catches the shotgun snap, swings it right,
4:34
Speaker 1: got by Mixon to the five board touchdown Bengals, Mixon
4:41
Speaker 1: flying over an attempt at tackle as he makes it
4:44
Speaker 1: to the end zone to potentially tie the game. Randy
4:48
Speaker 1: Bullock did tie it with a pat but Jacksonville was
4:50
Speaker 1: able to drive seventy three yards in fifty three seconds
4:54
Speaker 1: with no timeouts remaining, and kicked the field goal to
4:57
Speaker 1: lead thirteen ten. At the half, the Bengals were down
5:00
Speaker 1: by three, but confident. According to Joe Burrow, you know,
5:04
Speaker 1: we knew that if we executed the way that we're
5:06
Speaker 1: capable of, then they weren't gonna be able to stop us.
5:09
Speaker 1: And you know, we just kept that mindset and we
5:12
Speaker 1: talked about it at halftime. We were the only ones
5:15
Speaker 1: that had stopped ourselves all day, So we came out
5:17
Speaker 1: on the second half and performed the way that we
5:19
Speaker 1: were supposed to. The first drive of the second half
5:21
Speaker 1: when seventy five yards on just five plays first and
5:25
Speaker 1: ten at the thirty four yard line for Burrow and company,
5:28
Speaker 1: Joe's under center takes the direct snap from Hopkins hands
5:31
Speaker 1: it off to Mixing, big time, hold to the right,
5:33
Speaker 1: twenty five sideline, twenty fifty, Yeah to the pilot, touchdown,
5:40
Speaker 1: big goals. That thirty four yard run was Joe Mixon's
5:44
Speaker 1: first rushing touchdown of the year. Alex Redman, who got
5:47
Speaker 1: his first start of the year at right guard, enjoyed
5:50
Speaker 1: the view. I mean it was awesome. Joe played his
5:52
Speaker 1: heart out today. I think Joe plays its smart out
5:54
Speaker 1: every every single game. You hand that guy the ball
5:56
Speaker 1: and he's scratching, you know, every in she could get,
5:59
Speaker 1: he's gonna get. So playing with Joe, playing with you know,
6:02
Speaker 1: Joey Burrow, guys like that, I mean, I tell this
6:04
Speaker 1: scene could be a real good and Mixon wasn't finished,
6:06
Speaker 1: as he scored again roughly four minutes later. Now Burrow
6:10
Speaker 1: will line up in the shotgun, even though it's third
6:12
Speaker 1: and less than a yard, He'll hand it to Mixing
6:14
Speaker 1: Mixon bursting to the end the five touchdown, Joe Mixon
6:21
Speaker 1: and the Bengals hits third of the day. I'll tell
6:24
Speaker 1: you what, two rushing touchdowns, one touchdown receiving Joe Mixon
6:28
Speaker 1: coming in with no touchdowns on the year, not even
6:32
Speaker 1: halfway through the third quarter. He's got three today. Mixon
6:35
Speaker 1: finished with twenty six carries for one hundred and fifty
6:38
Speaker 1: one yards and two touchdowns, and had six catches for
6:41
Speaker 1: thirty yards and another TD. All of that after being
6:46
Speaker 1: listed is questionable because of a chest injury, and he's
6:49
Speaker 1: not even sure how it happened. I don't know. I
6:51
Speaker 1: think I'll slipp wrong. I was slipp wrong. Came to
6:55
Speaker 1: work and then I don't know, it was like I
6:59
Speaker 1: couldn't breathe heard to run, like I walked through and
7:01
Speaker 1: then I ended up going to the hospital. I was
7:05
Speaker 1: in the hospital for about like three hours yesterday, late
7:09
Speaker 1: last night. So, like I said, I didn't know if
7:11
Speaker 1: I played and then this morning and see how I felt,
7:14
Speaker 1: and you know, doctors loved up on it, and I
7:18
Speaker 1: was able to go out there and make some things work.
7:20
Speaker 1: Could you not breathe or did you have a pulled
7:22
Speaker 1: chest or did you pull so I just I don't know.
7:24
Speaker 1: It just seemed like someone was squeezing. I don't know
7:26
Speaker 1: what it was. But I mean I felt great today
7:30
Speaker 1: out there running. I mean, at first, it was like
7:33
Speaker 1: I don't know how it's gonna be, you know, I
7:35
Speaker 1: went out there and just gave him all man for
7:38
Speaker 1: my teammates, and like I said, everything was up in
7:40
Speaker 1: the air, but you know made it happen and it
7:43
Speaker 1: wasn't Jess Mixing. The Bengals finished with two hundred five
7:47
Speaker 1: yards on the ground, more than doubling the average of
7:50
Speaker 1: seventy nine rushing yards in the first three weeks. Same
7:53
Speaker 1: places we've been running. You know, It's just guys were
7:55
Speaker 1: really dialed in this week to the details and we
7:57
Speaker 1: almost went overboard with that stuff to make sure that
8:00
Speaker 1: we sent that message to our guys that it's going
8:02
Speaker 1: to take all of it. It's not just the old line,
8:04
Speaker 1: it's not just the running back. It takes everybody. And
8:06
Speaker 1: the guys really bought it in, had a tremendous week,
8:08
Speaker 1: did a lot of extras on their own to help
8:11
Speaker 1: prepare for this game, and this is what the payoff
8:13
Speaker 1: looks like. In addition to the two hundred five rushing yards,
8:15
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had exactly three hundred passing yards to become
8:19
Speaker 1: the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw for
8:22
Speaker 1: at least three bills in three straight games for the
8:26
Speaker 1: first time in his career. Burrow wasn't sacked, although the
8:29
Speaker 1: Jags were credited with five quarterback hits. You know, the
8:32
Speaker 1: old line played really, really well today. They've taken a
8:35
Speaker 1: lot of heat the last couple of weeks, and you know,
8:37
Speaker 1: I was super happy for those guys to have the
8:39
Speaker 1: game that they did today, and they're going to continue
8:41
Speaker 1: to build on it. I know they are. Thought the
8:43
Speaker 1: offense wanted a tremendous job today. You know, they kept
8:45
Speaker 1: him clean. They had some great blocks in the run game,
8:48
Speaker 1: tight ends as well, receivers as well, just all the
8:50
Speaker 1: things that we talked about correcting last week coming off
8:53
Speaker 1: the field against Philly. I thought our guys were so
8:55
Speaker 1: dolled in this week as our best way practice we've
8:57
Speaker 1: had in two years here. The energy was tremendous. Us
9:00
Speaker 1: you guys took up to the field and made it count.
9:02
Speaker 1: The Bengals final three drives ended with Randy Bullock field goals,
9:06
Speaker 1: meaning if you take away kneel downs at the end
9:08
Speaker 1: of each half, Cincinnati scored on its last six drives.
9:12
Speaker 1: Hubert extends the right hand, catches the ball, puts it down.
9:15
Speaker 1: Randy Bullocks kick is good, and the Bengals have a
9:19
Speaker 1: thirty three to twenty two lead with one forty six
9:22
Speaker 1: to go. A Jacksonville field goal made it an eight
9:25
Speaker 1: point game. With eight seconds on the clock, Cook ready
9:28
Speaker 1: to attempt the on side kick. It's the roller straight ahead.
9:32
Speaker 1: The Bengals fall on it at the forty five yard line.
9:36
Speaker 1: Giovanni Bernard is there and that is coffin nails bam.
9:42
Speaker 1: The final score Cincinnati thirty three, Jacksonville twenty five. Here's
9:46
Speaker 1: Jesse Bates on win number one. It just feels really good.
9:50
Speaker 1: I mean, we spent a lot of time away from
9:52
Speaker 1: our families. You know, you put a lot of stuff
9:54
Speaker 1: into this. You know, our bodies don't feel good after
9:57
Speaker 1: some games. But you know when you're and it's not,
10:00
Speaker 1: it's not worth it. It seems like it's like dawmn,
10:03
Speaker 1: like we need to win. You know, you play this
10:05
Speaker 1: game to win, um and you know, to support your family.
10:08
Speaker 1: Uh So, you know, having that first win in the
10:11
Speaker 1: locker room, I think it helps our belief capacity continue
10:13
Speaker 1: to go up and we're gonna build on that. Do
10:16
Speaker 1: you feel like this was a game y'all had to win?
10:18
Speaker 1: Was just feel like a must win game for y'all.
10:20
Speaker 1: Giving the start and win kind of what's to come
10:21
Speaker 1: to season? I think every game, I mean there's a
10:24
Speaker 1: must win. Uh, but yeah, this one, I mean, we
10:27
Speaker 1: we've been so close. Every game has been in one position,
10:30
Speaker 1: one possession game. Um. And Josh Bonds had a hell
10:33
Speaker 1: of a speech last night about adversity. Um. You know
10:37
Speaker 1: you speak about you know Randy uh, mister field goal
10:40
Speaker 1: to going over time week one came back. I mean
10:42
Speaker 1: he's probably four for tonight. Um. Our old line played
10:45
Speaker 1: a hell of a game. Um. You know, our defense,
10:47
Speaker 1: we have to continue to be consistent. Um. So yeah,
10:50
Speaker 1: I mean all around, as a whole organization, we're getting better.
10:54
Speaker 1: So I feel really good. As for Joe Burrow, he
10:56
Speaker 1: received the game ball after his first that FL victory.
10:59
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun,
11:02
Speaker 1: but you know, it's one It's one game. There's twelve more.
11:07
Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna enjoy this for five hours
11:10
Speaker 1: and then come back to work tomorrow, correct the mistakes
11:13
Speaker 1: and move on to Baltimore. Burrow, by the way, was
11:15
Speaker 1: wired for sound during the game by NFL Film, So
11:18
Speaker 1: we'll have some great content to look forward to this
11:21
Speaker 1: week on Bengals dot Com and on shows like Inside
11:24
Speaker 1: the NFL and NFL turning point. Now time for some
11:28
Speaker 1: postgame analysis from my broadcast partner Dave lapham Lap. How
11:33
Speaker 1: sweet it is the Bengals get their first win of
11:35
Speaker 1: the year thirty three to twenty five over Jacksonville. And
11:39
Speaker 1: let's give credit where credit is due. The Bengals offensive
11:42
Speaker 1: line has been mocked. They have been ripped from coast
11:46
Speaker 1: to coast. Well today, three hundred passing yards, two hundred
11:50
Speaker 1: and five rushing yards, and thirty three points on the scoreboard.
11:54
Speaker 1: Very true, and hats off to them. They did a
11:57
Speaker 1: hell of a job. But as a form alignment, you know,
12:01
Speaker 1: my thing was this is the test because played against
12:03
Speaker 1: some pretty good defensive lines and they have had their
12:06
Speaker 1: issues and they've gotten crushed as a result because they
12:09
Speaker 1: haven't won a lot of the matchups. Well, this was,
12:12
Speaker 1: in my mind the test because these guys were lesser.
12:15
Speaker 1: So if you can't perform well against these guys, where
12:17
Speaker 1: the heck are you? And then when Josh Allen went out,
12:20
Speaker 1: you know they were even lesser than that. So I'm
12:23
Speaker 1: I'm proud if I played in this game. I'm proud
12:26
Speaker 1: as a former offensive linement. I'm proud of the way
12:27
Speaker 1: they've played. But the reality says, here we go now
12:32
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, back in the from the frying pan, from
12:34
Speaker 1: the fire, right into the from the frying pan, right
12:36
Speaker 1: into the fire. I should say, you know, you're back
12:39
Speaker 1: at Baltimore. Indianapolis has a good defense. The NFL is
12:42
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's tough, and I'm not saying Jacksonville's a
12:45
Speaker 1: bunch of scrubs, but I am saying that they did
12:47
Speaker 1: not have the front seven that the Bengals had been
12:50
Speaker 1: playing against. You know, with the Chargers, they're they're good upfront.
12:53
Speaker 1: They have multiple Pro bowlers up front. You know, Cleveland's
12:56
Speaker 1: got a good rush with Miles Garrett and Philadelphia's good player.
13:00
Speaker 1: These guys didn't have anybody like that and other guys
13:03
Speaker 1: to complement it. So it was hopeful of a good
13:07
Speaker 1: performance and got better than a good performance, got an
13:09
Speaker 1: outstanding performance from the offensive line. You know, you throw
13:12
Speaker 1: it for three hundred, rusher for over two hundred, and
13:15
Speaker 1: you're real balance in your play selection. Balance the key,
13:17
Speaker 1: I mean, instead of one dimensional. They allowed you know, Zach,
13:22
Speaker 1: as a play caller said during the game, you can
13:24
Speaker 1: close your eyes and just like pin the tail and
13:26
Speaker 1: donkey and wow, let's call that one. I mean, it's
13:28
Speaker 1: like they're so easy to call plays when your offensive
13:31
Speaker 1: line is playing like that. Plus the other thing we
13:35
Speaker 1: talked about multiple times Dan during the week and during
13:37
Speaker 1: the game play action pass. Instead of just teeing off
13:39
Speaker 1: and not having any respect for the run fake in
13:42
Speaker 1: the play action pass, they actually had to legitimately say
13:45
Speaker 1: WHOA does he have the ball or not. It's much
13:47
Speaker 1: easier to throw the football when it's play action passed.
13:50
Speaker 1: The pass protection light year is different, and then even
13:52
Speaker 1: drop back protection becomes easier as well. It's trickled down.
13:55
Speaker 1: That's very, very positive. We did an interview on Friday
13:58
Speaker 1: with former Bengals quarterback j. T. O'Sullivan and we discussed
14:02
Speaker 1: the number of hits and sacks that Joe Burrow had
14:04
Speaker 1: taken through the first three games. Fourteen sacks, roughly thirty
14:07
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. He said his words, that is unsustainable. Well,
14:13
Speaker 1: vastly different today, and yes, you're right, the quality of
14:16
Speaker 1: opponent's a huge factor. But no sacks and I believe
14:19
Speaker 1: three quarterback hits. Maybe it was four, but that's okay.
14:23
Speaker 1: That is sustainable. That is sustainable. And I think one
14:26
Speaker 1: of the hits came out of pocket, you know, when
14:28
Speaker 1: he created and extended on his own. So when you
14:30
Speaker 1: do that, you are on your own. There's nothing the
14:32
Speaker 1: offensive line can do for you there. So they he
14:35
Speaker 1: got hit a couple of times when the offensive line
14:37
Speaker 1: quote you know, it was their responsibility as such. Yeah, so,
14:41
Speaker 1: I mean the level of execution once they once they
14:44
Speaker 1: got out of their own way, I mean, it was
14:46
Speaker 1: so frustrating. The first quarter and a half. It was
14:48
Speaker 1: like they had well over five hundred yards and probably
14:52
Speaker 1: should have had fifty points or close to it, in
14:55
Speaker 1: the high forties anyway, and you know, didn't come close
14:58
Speaker 1: to that number because they were making mistakes, taking touchdowns
15:01
Speaker 1: off the board by penalty, by miss execution, you know,
15:05
Speaker 1: not you know, sample not being able to catch the
15:07
Speaker 1: ball cleanly, ricochets off his face mask and Miles Jack's
15:10
Speaker 1: able to make a playoff of it. So they knew,
15:13
Speaker 1: they knew that they could, you know, push around this
15:16
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar defense. It was just a matter of taking
15:18
Speaker 1: themselves off their schedule. Like we said so many times,
15:21
Speaker 1: if that's what Joe Mixon looks like with a chest injury,
15:25
Speaker 1: maybe we need to hit him in the chest before
15:26
Speaker 1: every game. What a weird situation. He wasn't on the
15:29
Speaker 1: injury report on Friday, and after the game we learned
15:32
Speaker 1: out why. We learned why. He said he thinks he
15:35
Speaker 1: heard it sleeping. I mean that's what he said in
15:37
Speaker 1: the postgame news conference. Actually had to go to the
15:40
Speaker 1: hospital for tests to his chest on Saturday, but was
15:46
Speaker 1: able to play and played incredibly well. Twenty five carries,
15:49
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty one yards. That's his second all
15:52
Speaker 1: time highest rushing total, six catches thirty yards, including a touchdown,
15:57
Speaker 1: three tds and all so out of kind of are
16:00
Speaker 1: set of circumstances, he produced big time. I don't know
16:04
Speaker 1: the position it was in when he was sleeping. I mean,
16:07
Speaker 1: I've had my arm fall asleep. I've had different things
16:09
Speaker 1: like that happened, but yeah, store neck, maybe my shoulder
16:13
Speaker 1: a little. I've never woken up with like, you know,
16:15
Speaker 1: some sort of a he felt like, he said he
16:17
Speaker 1: couldn't felt like he couldn't breathe easily. So he must
16:20
Speaker 1: have fallen asleep and a scrunched up, awkward, awkward position.
16:23
Speaker 1: But you know, fortunately there was no structural problem. They
16:26
Speaker 1: wanted to obviously, what they did was, and Paul Sparling
16:30
Speaker 1: is noted for this. Paul Sparling errors on the side
16:33
Speaker 1: of caution. I mean, if there's any if a player
16:36
Speaker 1: says I'm having difficulty breathing, you go right, particularly a coronavirus.
16:41
Speaker 1: You come into a trainer and you say I'm having
16:43
Speaker 1: a tough time breathing and I might have slept funny,
16:46
Speaker 1: you don't take any chances. I guess with coronavirus you'd
16:48
Speaker 1: taken to the hospital and run some tests and make
16:50
Speaker 1: sure that everything's okay. So I think part of it is,
16:53
Speaker 1: you know, the times that we're in it's it's different
16:56
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. And if I'm a player
16:58
Speaker 1: and you sleep right, you do wait up and it's
17:00
Speaker 1: like having a hard time breathing. I mean that that
17:03
Speaker 1: can you know, play with your mind a little bit,
17:05
Speaker 1: I guess, But ultimately, you know he was fine as
17:08
Speaker 1: we saw. I mean he was delivering, he wasn't accepting hits,
17:11
Speaker 1: he was ditching them out. I mean, he was lowering
17:13
Speaker 1: his squaring his pads up, lowering him running over people.
17:17
Speaker 1: I mean that was Joe Mixon in his finest. The
17:19
Speaker 1: offensive line more times than not allow him to make
17:21
Speaker 1: first cut down the football field, he caught the ball smoothly,
17:24
Speaker 1: caught the ball in stride yards after catch. You know,
17:27
Speaker 1: he scores in the air, scores on the ground more
17:30
Speaker 1: than once. Blitz pick up was sound. He was, you know,
17:33
Speaker 1: crushing people in that area. Blitz peck of Joe Mixon
17:36
Speaker 1: played a complete football game and maybe he needs to
17:39
Speaker 1: sleep awkwardly before the Baltimore game. In Baltimore, it's really
17:44
Speaker 1: hard to evaluate an individual offensive lineman until you go
17:48
Speaker 1: back and study the tape. But obviously Alex Redman makes
17:50
Speaker 1: his first started right guard after some really shaky play
17:54
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks by Fred Johnson and
17:56
Speaker 1: Billy Price. And without looking at him specifically, you look
18:00
Speaker 1: at the overall numbers at five hundred plush yards in
18:02
Speaker 1: thirty three points and figure, all right, maybe he wasn't great,
18:06
Speaker 1: but it was certainly an improvement. Yeah, and again now
18:10
Speaker 1: you have to go Apple's top apples. Who was he
18:12
Speaker 1: playing against? And because and I liked his answer in
18:16
Speaker 1: the presser after the game, I asked him how tod
18:19
Speaker 1: it go? Not very good? He was self deprecating, and
18:23
Speaker 1: I like that because you know he knows he has
18:25
Speaker 1: miles to go before he rests. He knows he's not
18:28
Speaker 1: a finished product right now, but what he gives them
18:30
Speaker 1: is a physicality he you know, he had a connection
18:33
Speaker 1: obviously with Tray and Bobby, like I thought would be
18:35
Speaker 1: the case. You know, it wasn't a foreign situation out there.
18:38
Speaker 1: They weren't looking at each other like what are we
18:40
Speaker 1: gonna do when this twist happens or when this linebacker
18:42
Speaker 1: blitz or whatever. They had all of that and Tray
18:46
Speaker 1: and Bobby, who were both very intelligent. They know the play,
18:49
Speaker 1: they know the structure of the play. They know everybody's
18:51
Speaker 1: assignment on every play, not just theirs. Alex Redman felt
18:55
Speaker 1: like I'm between two football men'ses. I got no issue
18:58
Speaker 1: with my assignments. I just identifying defenses and everything else.
19:02
Speaker 1: And that's a very very comforting feeling to a guy
19:05
Speaker 1: that missed all a training camp, you know, because of injury.
19:08
Speaker 1: So physically where was he he You know, he knows
19:11
Speaker 1: he still has to work on that. Mentally, he had
19:14
Speaker 1: those guys, those book ends on either side of him
19:16
Speaker 1: taking care of any questions, any concerns there. So all positive,
19:20
Speaker 1: but man, when he goes to Baltimore, a little bit
19:22
Speaker 1: different inside than what he faced today, for sure. Any
19:26
Speaker 1: thoughts on throwing to Drew sample in the back left
19:29
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone on third and inches are
19:32
Speaker 1: third in goal from inches away, Yeah, I mean I was.
19:35
Speaker 1: They were hammering Joe and they're pretty good at that point.
19:37
Speaker 1: I would have gone up and over with him, you know,
19:39
Speaker 1: and you know, if I didn't get it, I'd do
19:41
Speaker 1: it again on fourth down. But you know, the play
19:44
Speaker 1: was there. I mean, Joe threw a good ball. Drew
19:48
Speaker 1: just didn't see it fast enough. It Hitn't right in
19:51
Speaker 1: the face mask and ricketchhet off that and then it
19:53
Speaker 1: was you know, moving around. They felt like he never
19:55
Speaker 1: had a secure possession of the ball. Miles Jack took
19:58
Speaker 1: it away from him when he was totally secure with it.
20:01
Speaker 1: So there was no you know, shared possession of the football,
20:05
Speaker 1: and that's what you have to have for it to
20:06
Speaker 1: be a defensive offensive touchdown is simultaneous possession of the football,
20:11
Speaker 1: and in their opinion, because of the ricochet effect, there wasn't.
20:14
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I would hindsight's always twenty twenty,
20:20
Speaker 1: but I were to run the rock at that point
20:22
Speaker 1: in time, for sure, you were first guessing that calling
20:26
Speaker 1: that second. Guessing that call, the Bengals held Jacksonville to
20:29
Speaker 1: eighty nine rushing yards. Now is only twenty attempts, so
20:32
Speaker 1: that's still four and a half yards per attempt, But
20:35
Speaker 1: that's about one hundred fewer rushing yards than the Bengals
20:38
Speaker 1: had averaged on defense going into the game. It's nice
20:41
Speaker 1: to have a lead where the opponent is forced to
20:43
Speaker 1: put it in the air. You're exactly right, Dan. It's
20:46
Speaker 1: also nice to eliminate a forty one yard rush with
20:48
Speaker 1: a holding penalty so they self DESTRUCTI because now you
20:51
Speaker 1: look at one hundred and thirty yards rushing and it's
20:53
Speaker 1: a much different dynamic. You have running back well over
20:55
Speaker 1: a hundred yards rushing and it's like, oh jeez, I
20:57
Speaker 1: still can't stop the run. One hundred and thirty plus
21:00
Speaker 1: n back a little guy gets you know, over a
21:01
Speaker 1: hundred Offensive Player of the month. So one play, one
21:05
Speaker 1: holding penalty gets the run game off the hook. So
21:09
Speaker 1: what you have to do is you have to study
21:10
Speaker 1: the tape when you win or loose. Study the tape.
21:13
Speaker 1: All right, what happened in that play? Why did it
21:14
Speaker 1: bust for forty one? Okay? How significant was the hole?
21:17
Speaker 1: The hold was a big deal at the point of
21:19
Speaker 1: attack and all ba blah blah blah. But still you
21:21
Speaker 1: have to you know, hit your gaps, fit them, get
21:23
Speaker 1: off the blocks, make plays. So even when you win
21:26
Speaker 1: football games, you still have to evaluate the tape with
21:30
Speaker 1: the utmost critical eye because you're trying to improve each
21:33
Speaker 1: and every game. A couple of things I'm looking forward
21:36
Speaker 1: to hearing this week. Number one, I want more details
21:39
Speaker 1: on the Josh Bynes Saturday night's speech that apparently really
21:43
Speaker 1: helped motivate his teammates. Jesse Bates made a point of
21:46
Speaker 1: talking about what a great job Josh Bynes did in
21:49
Speaker 1: some sort of team meeting on Saturday. You know, in
21:52
Speaker 1: my mind, it's almost like a Rocky speech. Instead of
21:55
Speaker 1: a Rocky movie, you show a team to motivate him,
21:57
Speaker 1: it's a Rocky speech. Up gets a guy that it
22:00
Speaker 1: was a good college program won a national championship. And
22:03
Speaker 1: I'm undrafted on a national championship. I'm undrafted. I you know,
22:07
Speaker 1: I go to the NFL and you know, and scratch
22:09
Speaker 1: and claw and make a team and hang around and gosh,
22:12
Speaker 1: I'm on a Super Bowl winning team and I'm bouncing around.
22:14
Speaker 1: I get cut, you know, half a dozen times, and
22:17
Speaker 1: I still want to continue in my career. And here
22:19
Speaker 1: I am a college free agent in my tenth year
22:21
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. And so he's like a
22:23
Speaker 1: built in Rocky Balboa story that you can present to
22:27
Speaker 1: your team and living color, you know, instead of throwing
22:29
Speaker 1: on a movie. And I think I think it had
22:32
Speaker 1: a big effect on a lot of guys. I mean,
22:34
Speaker 1: this story is a good one. And he's a great speaker,
22:36
Speaker 1: and he's a great guy. Great speaker, great guy. Yeah,
22:39
Speaker 1: he's he's the real deal. You know, he'll he'll make plays,
22:43
Speaker 1: who makes the mistakes. His value in that linebacker room
22:46
Speaker 1: with all those young linebackers, who that's a big, big
22:50
Speaker 1: plus because you have a guy that does it the
22:52
Speaker 1: right way, knows what it's supposed to look like. All
22:55
Speaker 1: the young linebackers think of him as football and CycL
22:58
Speaker 1: Encyclopedia Britannic. He has an answer for everything. I mean,
23:02
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of value and a lot of
23:04
Speaker 1: intangible value. The other a big thing I'm looking forward
23:08
Speaker 1: to hearing this week. Joe Burrow is Wired for Sound
23:11
Speaker 1: Today by NFL Films, so on Inside the NFL on
23:15
Speaker 1: Showtime on the NFL Turning Point Show on sound FX
23:19
Speaker 1: and the Bengals website will be getting all of this
23:21
Speaker 1: great content. We're going to hear what he was saying
23:23
Speaker 1: on the sideline, what he was saying in the huddle.
23:26
Speaker 1: I love the job that NFL Films does with that,
23:28
Speaker 1: and it's going to be really cool to hear Joe
23:30
Speaker 1: Burrow miked up in his first NFL win. I agree.
23:34
Speaker 1: I bet if there's going to be some nuggets, some
23:36
Speaker 1: great stuff, and we'll find out what he actually said
23:39
Speaker 1: to Joe Mixon when he broke the huddle before he
23:40
Speaker 1: threw that little sweet pass, because I want to leave
23:42
Speaker 1: that in the field. Hey, NFL Films has it wired.
23:45
Speaker 1: It might not be left on the field, But I
23:48
Speaker 1: think what we're gonna find is this young guy does
23:52
Speaker 1: have a lot of football IQ man. He sees a lot,
23:54
Speaker 1: he understands a lot. You know, he's telling he's telling
23:58
Speaker 1: his teammates things that you know, like a five year
24:01
Speaker 1: of veteran, you know, would be telling his teammates, not
24:03
Speaker 1: a rookie in his you know, in his fourth game,
24:06
Speaker 1: talking about a guy that should be Vessel already for
24:08
Speaker 1: retirement in the National Football League. The things that he's
24:11
Speaker 1: talking about and the things that he sees. He has
24:14
Speaker 1: an exceedingly bright future. There's no question. Four games into
24:18
Speaker 1: the season, the Bengals have gone to the fourth quarter
24:20
Speaker 1: with the lead three times in four games. They could
24:23
Speaker 1: very easily be three in one. What can you do?
24:26
Speaker 1: They're one, two and one, and now it's about to
24:30
Speaker 1: get really tough. You mentioned at Baltimore next week, then
24:33
Speaker 1: at Indy, then Cleveland the Browns are playing great. Then Tennessee,
24:37
Speaker 1: a team that went to the AFC Championship Game a
24:40
Speaker 1: year ago, after a bye week, a road game at Pittsburgh.
24:43
Speaker 1: So the next five are going to be brutal, going
24:45
Speaker 1: to be brutal, and three division matchups in the next five,
24:49
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, and you've already lost a division game,
24:53
Speaker 1: so it's time to really buckle up. You don't want to.
24:56
Speaker 1: You don't want to be, you know, out of it
24:58
Speaker 1: before just before between Halloween and Thanksgiving. You don't want
25:02
Speaker 1: to be out of it in terms of the division.
25:04
Speaker 1: With four or five division games in the books and
25:06
Speaker 1: you haven't won one of them, and you're struggling, you know,
25:10
Speaker 1: with just one victory. You want to you want to
25:12
Speaker 1: build on this. You don't want it to be a
25:14
Speaker 1: one hit wonder. You want to you want to be
25:16
Speaker 1: a snoop foul for people down the road, and um,
25:19
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll they'll play. They still have not played a game,
25:24
Speaker 1: Dan where all three phases have totally been complimentary and
25:27
Speaker 1: they've avoided mistakes, avoided, penalties avoided. You know, battists, every everybody,
25:32
Speaker 1: every team is going to have a play that's not
25:34
Speaker 1: executed correctly. And that's that's that's understandable. They get paid too.
25:38
Speaker 1: I mean they make plays and all that, but the penalties,
25:41
Speaker 1: you know that, the assigned mistakes, all that that stuff.
25:43
Speaker 1: You can't have a myriad of those. You know, you can,
25:47
Speaker 1: you can maybe live with less than a handful, but
25:50
Speaker 1: if you're into your second handful, you got problems. I
25:53
Speaker 1: will wrap up this conversation with two words, coffin nails.
25:57
Speaker 1: Bam bam, I am. So it's on to Baltimore next Sunday.
26:03
Speaker 1: The Ravens are three and one after beating Washington thirty
26:06
Speaker 1: one seventeen. Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns and ran
26:10
Speaker 1: for a third in the win. Now time for this
26:13
Speaker 1: week's fun facts segment. I've been doing this segment since
26:16
Speaker 1: two eleven and this week's version is one of my
26:20
Speaker 1: all time favorites as you get to know the person
26:24
Speaker 1: under the pads. Time for some fun facts of Bengals
26:27
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Mike Daniels, who has been making life miserable
26:31
Speaker 1: or NFL offensive lineman since two and twelve. Mike, if
26:36
Speaker 1: I were an old lineman, I think you would be
26:38
Speaker 1: the last person in the league I would want to face.
26:41
Speaker 1: Describe yourself on game day. No, I'm really mean? Why? Frankly, No,
26:45
Speaker 1: I mean and focused and I'll just try to play
26:48
Speaker 1: the game as physical and as violent as I possibly
26:51
Speaker 1: can while maintaining my defensive responsibility. Are you trying to
26:56
Speaker 1: demoralize the guy on the opposite side of the line. Absolutely,
27:00
Speaker 1: And if it happens, and that's just a bonus, that's
27:02
Speaker 1: just my mentality when I when I step onto the
27:04
Speaker 1: football field, completely different person from who I am, you
27:08
Speaker 1: know in everyday life. When I step on the field,
27:11
Speaker 1: to say, it's a certain mentality that I have to
27:14
Speaker 1: approach the game with. We're doing fun facts with Mike Daniels.
27:17
Speaker 1: NFL films must love you because you are tremendous When
27:21
Speaker 1: you are miked up, do you turn it up a
27:23
Speaker 1: notch when you're wearing a mic, or do you talk
27:26
Speaker 1: NonStop regardless? I actually tone it down when I'm wearing
27:29
Speaker 1: a mic. That way, the sensors and the network they
27:33
Speaker 1: don't have too much work to do. But when I
27:35
Speaker 1: wear a mic, I'm aware I have a micro on,
27:37
Speaker 1: so I kind of tone it down a little bit.
27:39
Speaker 1: If anything. Do you enjoy watching those segments back after
27:43
Speaker 1: you've been miked up? I definitely have a lot of
27:45
Speaker 1: fun with it because it's nice to see what other
27:48
Speaker 1: people see. And I think it's I phone with it,
27:53
Speaker 1: you know, and I phone when I watch any guy
27:54
Speaker 1: who who's playing a game, you know, with that amount
27:59
Speaker 1: of passion that they can't help but express it verbally
28:03
Speaker 1: beginning during and after the game. We're talking to Mike Daniels.
28:07
Speaker 1: The last line of your Wikipedia page mentioned your interest
28:11
Speaker 1: in the Japanese cartoon genre anime, and I thought to myself,
28:15
Speaker 1: that's cute. Three hundred pounds NFL tough guy likes cartoons.
28:19
Speaker 1: But then I watched a twelve minute documentary He Was Anime,
28:23
Speaker 1: where you and your parents describe the impact that that
28:26
Speaker 1: art form has had on your life. What did anime
28:30
Speaker 1: do for a teenage Mike Daniels. It definitely helped me
28:34
Speaker 1: be comfortable with who I am. I didn't necessarily fit
28:36
Speaker 1: in with a lot of my peers growing up, so
28:40
Speaker 1: watching a lot of the protagonists in the various shown
28:43
Speaker 1: in anime, in particular, they always had to overcome obstacles
28:48
Speaker 1: to achieve a very significant goal, and for me, it
28:52
Speaker 1: was to be a start on my high school football team,
28:55
Speaker 1: then get a Division one scholarship, then be a starter
28:57
Speaker 1: on my Colo team iwa then get drafted, then become
29:02
Speaker 1: a starter, then go to the Pro Bowl, and now
29:04
Speaker 1: it's get back on the field and show that I'm
29:06
Speaker 1: still a really, really great football player. So I definitely
29:10
Speaker 1: can relate to the protagonists, and that's I was able
29:14
Speaker 1: to relate to them from the time I was eleven
29:16
Speaker 1: up until now. You have referred to yourself as a
29:19
Speaker 1: dork with muscles. Is there a message there to do
29:23
Speaker 1: your own thing? Absolutely? You have to be comfortable on
29:26
Speaker 1: who you are. You have to be comfortable in the
29:28
Speaker 1: person that God made you. You have to love that,
29:30
Speaker 1: and you can't let people make you feel bad or
29:33
Speaker 1: feel embarrassed because you may not just want to go
29:37
Speaker 1: with the crowd because the same people that are that
29:39
Speaker 1: are having fun at your expense, so to speak. If anything,
29:43
Speaker 1: they're jealous because they're not comfortable on who they are
29:46
Speaker 1: and they just want to fit in so badly, so
29:49
Speaker 1: they'll do that instead of pursuing what they truly love
29:51
Speaker 1: in life. And when you don't pursue what you love
29:54
Speaker 1: in life, you miss out. You miss out. You might
29:56
Speaker 1: be a great artist, you might be great at music,
29:58
Speaker 1: you might be a great sanitation expert. Who knows. But
30:02
Speaker 1: when you're trying to visit the two as you trying
30:04
Speaker 1: to fit in with what's popular, what was happening with
30:07
Speaker 1: the crowd is doing, then you'll never be able to
30:09
Speaker 1: achieve what you really want in life. And that's just
30:11
Speaker 1: that's just unfortunate. So be yourself for Drink Fund Faction
30:14
Speaker 1: with Mike Daniels. You're from Blackwood, New Jersey, not too
30:17
Speaker 1: far from Philadelphia, and describe where you grew up. Where
30:20
Speaker 1: I grew up is right outside of Philadelphia, So that
30:23
Speaker 1: Philadelphia area is definitely a I mean Phillys of sports
30:26
Speaker 1: town all the way. All of these stadiums are right
30:30
Speaker 1: near each other for all the for professional sports teams,
30:33
Speaker 1: So it's a really good sports area. So sports was
30:36
Speaker 1: going to become part of my life where I wanted
30:37
Speaker 1: to wanted it to be or not, and thank god
30:40
Speaker 1: I did wanted to be because they love football out there, track, wrestling, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, basketball,
30:47
Speaker 1: of course, you name it soccer like it's it's a field,
30:51
Speaker 1: hockey gotta lead boxing week. It doesn't matter, man, we
30:55
Speaker 1: are a sports that that area, that South Jersey Philly
30:59
Speaker 1: area is definitely a sports hub man, and you feel
31:03
Speaker 1: it when the Eagles are doing well, you feel when
31:05
Speaker 1: they're doing bad. Same applies for the Flyers, the Sixers,
31:09
Speaker 1: and the Phillies even as far as the arena lead
31:12
Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia soul. You know, the the area definitely
31:15
Speaker 1: embraces its sports and it's extremely competitive. People talk about Florida, Texas, California, Ohio,
31:22
Speaker 1: New Jersey, especially at South Jersey area is extremely competitive
31:25
Speaker 1: with sports, extremely competitive from the time guys are kids
31:28
Speaker 1: up until they're adults. They're obviously college football programs that
31:32
Speaker 1: are too far away, including Penn State and Rutgers. But
31:35
Speaker 1: you chose to go to Iowa. How did you wind
31:38
Speaker 1: up there and what were your first impressions of Iowa City,
31:41
Speaker 1: Penn State, and Rutgers Temple. Nobody one of me Iowa
31:44
Speaker 1: they did, so that's that's where I went. That was
31:46
Speaker 1: my only scholarship. We have a We had a coach,
31:50
Speaker 1: Daryl Wilson, who was from the South Jersey area, and
31:53
Speaker 1: Iowa historically has always gotten some New Jersey guys from
31:58
Speaker 1: the late seventies of until now. So you know, I
32:02
Speaker 1: was kind of just fell in line with that one. Uh,
32:05
Speaker 1: Iowa Cities is you know, it's it's a it's a
32:08
Speaker 1: it's a football place. Man. They love the Hawk guys there. Man,
32:11
Speaker 1: I'm so thankful that I was able to go to
32:13
Speaker 1: college there and play football there in the University of Iowa.
32:17
Speaker 1: They're blocking the streets off that the town is like
32:20
Speaker 1: almost shut down except for the bars. Man. I mean,
32:22
Speaker 1: it is a rocking atmosphere. I've played in some NFL
32:26
Speaker 1: stadiums that did well, a few NFL stadiums actually that
32:30
Speaker 1: didn't come close to having the same type of energy
32:33
Speaker 1: that Kinneck Stadium holds on Saturdays. So I loved it there.
32:37
Speaker 1: I definitely love playing football there. Speaking in places that
32:40
Speaker 1: love football. You were drafted by the Packers and spent
32:43
Speaker 1: your first eight years in Green Bay. What did you
32:45
Speaker 1: enjoy most about playing there? Uh, it was very similar
32:48
Speaker 1: to Iowa. I'm talking about streets getting blocked off on
32:51
Speaker 1: game days. Uh, bars a pack man and it's just
32:56
Speaker 1: a football town. And I definitely definitely with my time there.
33:00
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that I was able to play there. And
33:03
Speaker 1: everybody comes to play, you know, against the Green Bay.
33:07
Speaker 1: They always say like the atmosphere is crazy. It's definitely crazy,
33:11
Speaker 1: so it was really cool. One of the time honored traditions,
33:15
Speaker 1: going back to Vince Lombardi, is to borrow little kids
33:18
Speaker 1: bikes to get from Lambeau Field to the practice field
33:21
Speaker 1: during training camp. Did you enjoy it and at your size,
33:25
Speaker 1: were you ever worried about damaging a kid's bike. So
33:29
Speaker 1: my rookie year, I actually broke a kid's bike, and
33:31
Speaker 1: that was definitely something. I think I might have broke
33:35
Speaker 1: another one in my fourth year. So I always made
33:38
Speaker 1: sure I went to find a high school kid or
33:41
Speaker 1: a middle school kid who had like a mountain bike
33:43
Speaker 1: or something like that, because I kept riding little kids bikes. Unfortunately,
33:48
Speaker 1: sometimes I made a little kids bike and help hold
33:51
Speaker 1: the handlebar while while they rode their bike. But it
33:55
Speaker 1: was definitely a really cool tradition and I'm glad they
33:57
Speaker 1: do it in Green Bay. How did those little kids
33:59
Speaker 1: react when you broke their bike? Oh? Man, they were honored.
34:03
Speaker 1: They loved it. They man, the th was the coolest
34:07
Speaker 1: thing in the world. I remember a few years later,
34:09
Speaker 1: you know, he's a little bit older. He actually came
34:11
Speaker 1: to an autograph sign and had a picture of me
34:12
Speaker 1: carrying his bike, and I said, oh, yeah, this is great,
34:15
Speaker 1: this this is really good. So they they they they
34:18
Speaker 1: loved it. They really loved it. A few more fun
34:21
Speaker 1: facts with Mike Daniels. You and your wife have been
34:23
Speaker 1: extremely generous, Mike with your time and your money in
34:26
Speaker 1: terms of giving back. Is there a cause that means
34:29
Speaker 1: the most to you? I have a heart for um everybody,
34:33
Speaker 1: you know, whatever calls we're getting in involved in, whether
34:35
Speaker 1: it's a book bag drive, a women's shelter holding, the
34:38
Speaker 1: camp for children, it's we're we're we're all for it.
34:42
Speaker 1: And right now, one of the causes that I'm definitely
34:45
Speaker 1: involved in his New Souls inc Incorporated, based out of
34:48
Speaker 1: consulting in Camden, New Jersey right now. And what they
34:51
Speaker 1: do is they do it. They do a right of things, Uh,
34:54
Speaker 1: bringing Christmas gifts to um a lot of children who
34:59
Speaker 1: are living in very financially underprivileged situations. They remember they
35:04
Speaker 1: did an ice cream drive where they running out and
35:07
Speaker 1: ice cream truck and just handed out free ice cream.
35:09
Speaker 1: They do shoe drives, hence the name New Souls. They
35:12
Speaker 1: do a sneaker drive, so I'm definitely involving them. They'll
35:16
Speaker 1: be my calls my cleets form. I called my cleets
35:18
Speaker 1: this football season, and I definitely love the work that
35:22
Speaker 1: they're doing. Describe the significance of the date August third,
35:26
Speaker 1: the significance of dad. August third is my first three
35:28
Speaker 1: children were born on that date. It's definitely a very
35:33
Speaker 1: exciting day in the Daniels household. And they're not triplets.
35:36
Speaker 1: That's August third, three different years, three different years, No triplets,
35:40
Speaker 1: no twins. All right. Final fun fact for Mike Daniels.
35:44
Speaker 1: This is putting you on the spot. If you could
35:46
Speaker 1: meet anybody in history, athlete, entertainer, statesman, who would that
35:53
Speaker 1: person be. It's funny. It's probably had to be three comedians,
35:58
Speaker 1: George Carlin, Dick Gregory and Simbad. I'd have to meet
36:02
Speaker 1: those three guys. There's three comedians who definitely were definitely
36:06
Speaker 1: very honest about the current state of affairs or whatever
36:10
Speaker 1: is going on. So though, those are three people who
36:12
Speaker 1: I would love to meet or have met. You love
36:16
Speaker 1: comedy clubs. I've always been a pretty big stand up
36:20
Speaker 1: comedian or a fan of stand up comedy. Brother, I
36:23
Speaker 1: could see you doing it. Someday. You'll have to get
36:25
Speaker 1: up on stage. Bill Tomatoes at me, man, I'm not
36:28
Speaker 1: that's not that funny. You could put together a good
36:30
Speaker 1: ten minute set. I appreciate your time. This has been fine.
36:33
Speaker 1: Best of luck this year. Thanks very much. Have a
36:36
Speaker 1: good day. How great is Mike Daniels. Here's hoping he
36:40
