1:45
Speaker 1: was like in bed all weekend? Um food poisoning or
1:49
Speaker 1: fish from a buffet? Oh god, and regretted it a
1:53
Speaker 1: lot red flag. Yeah, I should have thought through the
1:57
Speaker 1: buffet red Flageo buffet supposed to be it's a popular thing,
2:02
Speaker 1: but it's like, I don't know, I don't know people
2:04
Speaker 1: are getting there. Oh Graver, we forgot to do the ivy.
2:10
Speaker 1: I definitely used one one day while I was there.
2:13
Speaker 1: Could have had one ivy instead of eight twenty. I
2:15
Speaker 1: actually was surprised myself. I really behaved myself. While I
2:18
Speaker 1: was there, I was what most nights, I was in
2:20
Speaker 1: bed by like ten o'clock because we had stuff to
2:22
Speaker 1: We were business. We're business people when we were there. Um,
2:27
Speaker 1: but it was it was a good time. I have
2:29
Speaker 1: an apology to make. I don't know if you guys
2:32
Speaker 1: saw what I went a little viral. I want so.
2:37
Speaker 1: I wasn't a part of the live show on day
2:39
Speaker 1: one or day two, but they wanted me to be
2:41
Speaker 1: a part of the live show on day three because
2:43
Speaker 1: it slows down a little bit. There's a lot of
2:45
Speaker 1: picks that they got to get in. There's a it's
2:47
Speaker 1: like eight hours that were on air or something crazy.
2:49
Speaker 1: So they're like, why don't why doesn't Rachel join our
2:53
Speaker 1: live show and we'll make it fun and we'll have
2:55
Speaker 1: her kind of like walk around the draft hall and
2:56
Speaker 1: it will be great. There was a couple that got married,
2:58
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about in a second, but I thought
3:01
Speaker 1: it might be funny the first time that I was
3:03
Speaker 1: on air to do a little bit, because your girls
3:07
Speaker 1: just gotta do a bit. And right before I went out,
3:10
Speaker 1: I was like, does anybody have a five dollar bill?
3:12
Speaker 1: And somebody passed me a five dollar bill, I then
3:14
Speaker 1: mowed them. Okay, I paid them back, and I found
3:16
Speaker 1: like the wildest looking fan, which just so happened to
3:19
Speaker 1: be like the first person that I saw. His name
3:21
Speaker 1: was Jamie. He was an Eagles fan. He was dressed
3:23
Speaker 1: to the nines on day three, which I think was
3:26
Speaker 1: really awesome that he was still just like going for it.
3:29
Speaker 1: Not sure if he had slept. I'm not sure if
3:31
Speaker 1: he showered. I'm not one to judge, but he was
3:33
Speaker 1: doing his own thing, and so I bring him in
3:38
Speaker 1: front of the camera. I explain what I am going
3:40
Speaker 1: to do. I tell him, I give him his script.
3:44
Speaker 1: I say, I'm going to hand you a five dollar bill.
3:46
Speaker 1: We'll laugh about it. It'll be great. We go live.
3:50
Speaker 1: It's a fun moment. I am clearly handing him the
3:53
Speaker 1: five dollar bill. People think it's funny. I thought it
3:57
Speaker 1: was funny. And then this thing went exploded because people
4:00
Speaker 1: just thought he was trying to shoot his shot at
4:02
Speaker 1: me live on telebot guys. I handed him a five
4:06
Speaker 1: dollar bill that you can clearly see on live national television.
4:11
Speaker 1: It went viral. This poor guy has just been taking
4:13
Speaker 1: shots all week because they think he was trying to
4:16
Speaker 1: pick me up. When I literally, it's so pathetic to
4:19
Speaker 1: me even say this. When I was like, can you
4:20
Speaker 1: pretend that you know who I am and I'll give
4:22
Speaker 1: you a five dollar bill? Can you be that for me?
4:25
Speaker 1: That's how it went down. So I apologize to Jamie,
4:28
Speaker 1: the Eagles fan. I think he did a phenomenal job
4:31
Speaker 1: in the movie of My Life. He sold it so well.
4:33
Speaker 1: Everyone thought it was real. I think so. I think
4:35
Speaker 1: that that's what's what's happened. But anyways, it was I
4:39
Speaker 1: had so much fun of the draft. Somebody got married
4:41
Speaker 1: on stage. A couple got married, got engaged at the draft,
4:45
Speaker 1: which I'm usually very against. I don't like like hockey
4:48
Speaker 1: game proposals, I don't like JumboTron kissing. I don't like
4:53
Speaker 1: any of it. I don't know. I don't like love.
4:55
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. Um, but they got engaged
4:57
Speaker 1: at the draft in Cleveland and then they somehow maybe
5:01
Speaker 1: somebody asked them if they wanted to get married in
5:03
Speaker 1: Vegas on the stage. I cried. I legitimately cried real
5:09
Speaker 1: tears of this. She was beautiful, her name was Brianna.
5:12
Speaker 1: She got this actual wedding dress. It was so fun.
5:16
Speaker 1: They did their whole they did the whole wedding on stage.
5:20
Speaker 1: I was against the fact that they didn't get married
5:22
Speaker 1: by Elvis though it was just some stock guy who
5:25
Speaker 1: had been ordained. I would have absolutely gotten ordained. If
5:28
Speaker 1: you guys could choose one live event to get married at,
5:34
Speaker 1: what would it be? What? I remember somebody got engaged
5:38
Speaker 1: at the Oscars a couple of years ago. That was
5:40
Speaker 1: really bad. That was really bad. He was getting played off.
5:43
Speaker 1: I think I would like to get married at the Mets,
5:46
Speaker 1: because you know, it's a top of mine. Last night,
5:51
Speaker 1: I did not like Obj's outfit. Everyone's dressed to the nines.
5:54
Speaker 1: It's like the ultimate. You could have a wedding dress
5:56
Speaker 1: that goes, you know, all the way down the stairs.
5:58
Speaker 1: Is there a place that you would want to get
6:00
Speaker 1: married live event? Graver? I don't know, because like that
6:03
Speaker 1: the whole wedding aspect of like having a party with
6:06
Speaker 1: your closest friends and family. Who would you want to
6:10
Speaker 1: party with the most? Then? I guess a Tennessee Titans
6:12
Speaker 1: Super Bowl parade? Would you get married there? Yeah? That
6:15
Speaker 1: was a layout, Rabols. You know it's going to be
6:18
Speaker 1: the one that marries you. I guess beer in hand.
6:21
Speaker 1: Maybe at the super Bowl itself. I don't I don't know.
6:24
Speaker 1: I would rather have a real normal wedding Calves halftime show. No,
6:28
Speaker 1: I think. I think like Comic Con would be cool
6:32
Speaker 1: if I had to pick, because think about how passionate
6:35
Speaker 1: those people are. They go to those things and they're
6:38
Speaker 1: gonna be passionate about somebody that's dressed up in Spider Man.
6:42
Speaker 1: I've worked a couple of my old job. What you
6:45
Speaker 1: mean you worked a couple of them? In what capacity?
6:48
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like handler, Like I was
6:50
Speaker 1: like a handler of who of when you were an
6:53
Speaker 1: agent's assistant? Yeah, okay, we need to hear this story.
6:56
Speaker 1: Who did you run into? Oh? Well, I Stanley Tucci
6:59
Speaker 1: was one of the guys, and we were in Philadelphia,
7:03
Speaker 1: and like people come up and they pay money for
7:06
Speaker 1: like an autograph, and they pay money to take a
7:08
Speaker 1: picture with him, and a lot of the fans like
7:10
Speaker 1: bring him things like drawings that they've worked on. One
7:13
Speaker 1: lady like baked one cookie and put it in tin
7:16
Speaker 1: catch there's a lot of ship put it in tin
7:19
Speaker 1: points and then like but yeah, that's a little weird,
7:23
Speaker 1: some may say, But the passion Okay, I kind of
7:26
Speaker 1: love this so if you if you get married there,
7:28
Speaker 1: it's like one big community and everyone's like in it.
7:31
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, I love this. It's like the
7:33
Speaker 1: NFL draft of comic book. Yeah, their community, they love
7:37
Speaker 1: football so much. That's where they wanted to get married.
7:39
Speaker 1: I have to ask you who would you dress up
7:40
Speaker 1: as for your wedding, because if you're going to Comicon
7:42
Speaker 1: and have your wedding, you have to dress up like
7:43
Speaker 1: something Alfred Fred call back to our first step. We're
7:48
Speaker 1: going to say alf probably Wolverine. Since I have the
7:52
Speaker 1: whole cost true story ladies and gentlemen. I like to
7:57
Speaker 1: throw a Halloween party every single year. Graver, you'll be
8:00
Speaker 1: invited this year. It's a lot of fun. Mohan showed
8:03
Speaker 1: up in a Wolverine onesie that he already owned because
8:06
Speaker 1: he was to sleep in it with your jammies. And
8:08
Speaker 1: then he made these tinfoil cut out cardboard and then
8:12
Speaker 1: wrapped them in tinfoil claws that he just had to
8:14
Speaker 1: walk around with all night and held his drink and
8:17
Speaker 1: it was full commit. Yeah, he met a lot of
8:19
Speaker 1: ladies that night, didn't you. Maybe they can come to
8:21
Speaker 1: Comic Con now. Okay, I actually really like that choice
8:25
Speaker 1: comic Con wedding. That sounds cute, but anyway, so they
8:27
Speaker 1: got married. Apologies to the Eagles. Fan Vegas was really cool.
8:32
Speaker 1: There was one point where we were walking down the hallway,
8:34
Speaker 1: griv are you are you with us? At this point
8:36
Speaker 1: where they shut it down and I was like, oh
8:38
Speaker 1: my god, like Obama's about to walk through here. All
8:40
Speaker 1: of these security guards made us stand up against the
8:42
Speaker 1: wall and then all of these first round like the
8:45
Speaker 1: Top Picks, Sauce was there. All of these like really
8:47
Speaker 1: exciting guys walked through and we got to see their
8:50
Speaker 1: outfits before anybody else did. So I saw sauces chain
8:54
Speaker 1: and it made me really emotional. Like they were with
8:56
Speaker 1: all their girlfriends and their moms and family and it
8:59
Speaker 1: was a really beautiful thing. It was cool just to
9:01
Speaker 1: see them all piling through the tunnel together, like, yeah,
9:04
Speaker 1: here they all are. That was fun, about to change
9:06
Speaker 1: their lives and we're all like, you guys want to
9:08
Speaker 1: go smash a panicle lauda by the pool. I'm kidding.
9:11
Speaker 1: We didn't do that. We were behaved. Um okay, So guys,
9:14
Speaker 1: it is May. I cannot believe we are in May.
9:17
Speaker 1: But there's a couple of things that I want to
9:19
Speaker 1: talk about before we get into the rest of this show.
9:21
Speaker 1: First off, it is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
9:26
Speaker 1: We got to give a shout out to our boy mom.
9:29
Speaker 1: Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. To Mon.
9:33
Speaker 1: We love you, we appreciate you. You're one of my
9:36
Speaker 1: best buds, and I'm so glad that you're doing this
9:38
Speaker 1: show with us. And now hopefully you can appreciate me
9:42
Speaker 1: every month, and not just so it's a start. H'm
9:47
Speaker 1: just I always appreciate you. Also, another thing that I
9:50
Speaker 1: wanted to bring up, it is Mental Health Awareness Month.
9:54
Speaker 1: I think it is so huge to be able to
9:56
Speaker 1: talk about our mental health. It is on my mind
10:00
Speaker 1: right now, especially with what is going on in the world,
10:03
Speaker 1: especially going into an off season where you know, we
10:08
Speaker 1: don't have it. It's kind of silly to say, but
10:12
Speaker 1: it really isn't. Sports is so important for so many
10:14
Speaker 1: people in so many different ways. Like sports brings so
10:18
Speaker 1: much joy to us. We have something to watch every
10:20
Speaker 1: single week, we have something to root for. It brings
10:22
Speaker 1: us joy, It brings us all kinds of emotions. But
10:26
Speaker 1: you know, we're going into our off season, and I
10:28
Speaker 1: just want to say that it's okay to not be okay.
10:34
Speaker 1: I know it is a cliche thing to say, and
10:35
Speaker 1: you hear it all the time, but it really is.
10:37
Speaker 1: I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I struggle with anxiety and depression.
10:41
Speaker 1: Who friggin doesn't these days. I've been on medication, I've
10:44
Speaker 1: been in therapy since I was young, all of the things.
10:48
Speaker 1: I've tried, all of the things to work on myself.
10:50
Speaker 1: I got a dog, I go for walks, I exercise.
10:53
Speaker 1: Some days, I don't. Some days I sleep, some days,
10:55
Speaker 1: I'm sad. I'm all of the things. So I just
10:58
Speaker 1: wanted to let you guys know that it's all okay,
11:02
Speaker 1: and everything's gonna be okay. And you are loved by
11:05
Speaker 1: so many people in your lives, and you are loved
11:07
Speaker 1: and graver, you are loved, and I feel loved, And
11:12
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's really important to speak out
11:14
Speaker 1: about mental health, especially this month, because a lot of
11:17
Speaker 1: people think that they're going through these things alone and
11:20
Speaker 1: they absolutely are not. And I definitely want mental health
11:23
Speaker 1: to be something that we always are open to talking
11:25
Speaker 1: about on this show. And I so admire NFL players
11:29
Speaker 1: that come out and are honest about the way that
11:31
Speaker 1: they're feeling, and just any athlete because so many people
11:33
Speaker 1: look up to these people, including myself. So take care
11:37
Speaker 1: of your brains. Take care of your brains, treat it
11:39
Speaker 1: like any other part of your body. If it's not
11:41
Speaker 1: feeling well, go and see somebody and talk to somebody
11:44
Speaker 1: about it, and we're here for you. And you know what,
11:47
Speaker 1: you know what, I just came up with something. I'm
11:50
Speaker 1: gonna keep my dms open all month long for Mental
11:53
Speaker 1: Health Awareness Month, and if there is somebody that you
11:56
Speaker 1: want to reach out to or just tell what's going
11:58
Speaker 1: on in your life, my dms will be open for
12:01
Speaker 1: the rest of the month. And now I'm gonna keep
12:03
Speaker 1: on opening them because I never learned my lesson with
12:06
Speaker 1: the weird stories. But now y'all are welcome to hit
12:09
Speaker 1: me up anytime. And I hope that you guys are
12:11
Speaker 1: feeling okay right now. Um okay, First, before we go
12:16
Speaker 1: to break, there's one other thing that we need to
12:18
Speaker 1: talk about because there's actually some trouble on this podcast.
12:20
Speaker 1: I just said we all love each other. That's nice,
12:22
Speaker 1: that's nice and fine, but do we do we all
12:25
Speaker 1: love each other? Mohan That's the question that I want
12:28
Speaker 1: to ask Justin Graver today. Graver came into today really
12:32
Speaker 1: psyched for you because you are taking over as producer
12:36
Speaker 1: of Around the NFL, one of the biggest podcasts in
12:39
Speaker 1: the sports world, let alone at NFL Network. We love
12:43
Speaker 1: those guys over there, friends of the pod. I like
12:45
Speaker 1: to consider myself a friend of their pod. You are.
12:50
Speaker 1: That's interesting, I think I have I can say that
12:53
Speaker 1: as it's interesting that you would say that when actually
12:56
Speaker 1: this is what we just heard only twenty minutes ago.
13:00
Speaker 1: Roll the clip. I renounced any and all other podcasts
13:03
Speaker 1: outside these walls. I renounced any and all other podcasts
13:07
Speaker 1: outside walls. Wow. Wow. I mean I felt like we
13:13
Speaker 1: had created a pretty good relationship that would have you know,
13:18
Speaker 1: were you at least like crossing your fingers behind your
13:21
Speaker 1: back like we need some infort. Did you feel immediately bad?
13:24
Speaker 1: Did you think about reaching out to Mohun and I
13:26
Speaker 1: because like just feel like I don't want to speak
13:27
Speaker 1: for you, Mo, but I'm feeling betrayed. Well, like I
13:30
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to be dramatic, but
13:32
Speaker 1: I thought Justin and I and all three of us
13:34
Speaker 1: had a pretty good going I know we're just starting out,
13:37
Speaker 1: you know, as a trio. I thought he got my
13:40
Speaker 1: back and I have his back, and and I come
13:42
Speaker 1: in today and I realized that this happened. I'm not
13:44
Speaker 1: sure setting I could have done differently or Rachel could
13:48
Speaker 1: You're absolutely perfect, Moan, You're absolutely perfect. It's definitely not you, guys,
13:52
Speaker 1: It's me. Why are you greening? Like, yeah, you're laughing?
13:55
Speaker 1: Are you crossing? Funny? And I immediately laughed when I
14:00
Speaker 1: had to say this today, so as you could tell,
14:03
Speaker 1: it was like a little oath you were being sworn in.
14:05
Speaker 1: Dan read it, and then I repeated after him a
14:08
Speaker 1: little dramatic. Had no idea, Yes, I had no idea
14:10
Speaker 1: where he was going, and I just really didn't want
14:12
Speaker 1: to screw up my first big spot as the producer
14:16
Speaker 1: of the new show. So whatever Dan said, I just
14:19
Speaker 1: repeated and instant regret, obviously thinking about this podcast first
14:24
Speaker 1: and foremost, knowing full well what I had just said.
14:28
Speaker 1: He's playing in the middle here. But I feel like
14:30
Speaker 1: this is an episode of like Lizzie McGuire, and Lizzie
14:34
Speaker 1: has been invited to like hang out with the popular kids,
14:37
Speaker 1: and then they like bait her to like talk about
14:40
Speaker 1: her best friends Gordo and Miranda, and Lizzie goes for it.
14:44
Speaker 1: She's like, you know what, those two suck? And then
14:46
Speaker 1: we were overhearing and we like, this is absolutely an
14:48
Speaker 1: episode of Lizzie Maguire that I watched. I've never seen that,
14:50
Speaker 1: but I know what you're talking about. Because a mean girls,
14:53
Speaker 1: I feel like it's giving us, it's giving mean girls,
14:57
Speaker 1: it's giving mean girls. Well, I just want to s
15:00
Speaker 1: on behalf of myself and no one else that I'm
15:03
Speaker 1: very sorry for for swearing off all other podcasts. Maybe
15:08
Speaker 1: if I was a lesser person, I would make you
15:11
Speaker 1: do the same right now, I would make you swear
15:14
Speaker 1: off around the NFL. But you know what, and I
15:16
Speaker 1: want you to We don't need the validation. We don't
15:17
Speaker 1: need that. So how about you play this for them.
15:19
Speaker 1: We don't need the validation of making you say that
15:22
Speaker 1: we're less. Then we feel confident in our efforts and
15:25
Speaker 1: around the NFL needs to really take a good look
15:28
Speaker 1: at themselves. Yeah, like, does Dan thing I'm just gonna
15:31
Speaker 1: leave without swearing an oath or something like come on? Also,
15:34
Speaker 1: I don't know Dan, but maybe what if this was
15:36
Speaker 1: a test and he's just like values loyalty, and he
15:39
Speaker 1: was checking to see if if you didn't say it,
15:42
Speaker 1: you'd be like, you know what, maybe he Justin's actually
15:45
Speaker 1: really good or maybe it was a test to see
15:47
Speaker 1: if you would just you know, throw another podcast under
15:50
Speaker 1: the bus because you could easily do it to them. Now,
15:53
Speaker 1: true tables, guys. Okay, we got more our show to
16:00
Speaker 1: get since everyone's apologizing to everybody, I don't want to
16:05
Speaker 1: take up too much time, Okay, but I feel like
16:08
Speaker 1: you guys owe me an apology about the toothpaste toothbrush thing.
16:12
Speaker 1: Just we'll make it quick. I don't know who wants
16:14
Speaker 1: to go first. I think there must be bots out there,
16:16
Speaker 1: because every I talked to we're on rachel and mind side,
16:24
Speaker 1: and then all these random people on the internet are
16:27
Speaker 1: on your side. Here's the problem, Graver. I didn't want
16:32
Speaker 1: to have to tell you guys this. I didn't want
16:34
Speaker 1: to have to bring this up. But my own partner,
16:36
Speaker 1: who I sleep next to every single night, does the
16:39
Speaker 1: same thing that Mulan does. Wow, And I've never been
16:43
Speaker 1: I've never been present enough in the moment while we're
16:46
Speaker 1: brushing our teeth to notice such an abomination. Truly such
16:50
Speaker 1: a waste of water. And he's like trying to make
16:53
Speaker 1: documentaries about saving the earth, and I'm like, sir, you
16:56
Speaker 1: need to take a look in the mirror always. Team
16:59
Speaker 1: Pete and Cell called me a serial killer on Twitter.
17:04
Speaker 1: You know what else is real quick before we go
17:06
Speaker 1: to break You know what else's serial killer? Asque And
17:08
Speaker 1: this makes sense because you and Pete seem to be
17:10
Speaker 1: aligned on a lot of things. I go into the
17:13
Speaker 1: kitchen the other day to make breakfast and somebody had
17:16
Speaker 1: already been tinkering in. They're making their own breakfast and
17:19
Speaker 1: I'm looking for the avocado. The avocado have the top
17:23
Speaker 1: cut off of it. My dad does this, psychic It's crazy,
17:29
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I don't know. The more that
17:32
Speaker 1: I thought about it, the more it did make sense.
17:35
Speaker 1: But I still don't like it. I think it's to
17:38
Speaker 1: like conserve. Yes, that is it. And I'm like, you
17:41
Speaker 1: know how they get all brown and nasty. It's like
17:43
Speaker 1: to not do this, to put avocados in Yeah, justin
17:46
Speaker 1: we have one. We have one of those. If this
17:50
Speaker 1: is what he did, if you cut the top, you
17:51
Speaker 1: just eat the top. He was like skimmed a little
17:53
Speaker 1: bit of the scene in the middle. That's not even
17:57
Speaker 1: not much avocado? Does that? Then he wraps it in foil. Yeah,
18:01
Speaker 1: the foil or um saran rap. Daddy, Graver and Pete,
18:05
Speaker 1: we need to have some discussions. There are just so
18:07
Speaker 1: many There's only a there's only so many quirky things
18:10
Speaker 1: I can handle. I can't handle the toothpaste water water,
18:14
Speaker 1: toothpaste water, and I can't handle the top of my
18:17
Speaker 1: avocado gone missing also also there. Okay, we have two
18:22
Speaker 1: kitchen knives in our house, one of them mysteriously gone missing.
18:26
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what happened with it. And now I'm afraid
18:28
Speaker 1: somebody's living in our attic and has the knife. That's dangerous.
18:31
Speaker 1: What is it in a couch? We don't know where
18:34
Speaker 1: it went. I think Pete's love him, love you, love
18:37
Speaker 1: your babe, little ups and minded. Sometimes I think he
18:39
Speaker 1: might have cut open a box put the knife somewhere.
18:42
Speaker 1: Everybody's walking on eggshells. There is a knife in our
18:45
Speaker 1: house and no one knows where it went. That's terrified. Danger.
18:51
Speaker 1: So somebody happens to see a randomknife flying around, please
18:53
Speaker 1: let me know it might be mine. We will be
18:55
Speaker 1: right back after this. I just want to get abology.
18:59
Speaker 1: It's never coming. He's the base. So we're gonna talk
19:12
Speaker 1: about the best and worst thing that I saw this week.
19:14
Speaker 1: The worst thing that I saw is the zip on
19:16
Speaker 1: my face that I'm covering up with this microphone. Pete
19:20
Speaker 1: likes to really make it obvious when I've got some
19:22
Speaker 1: sort of blemish on my face. And he's one of
19:25
Speaker 1: those Oh don't you guys hate like a forehead talker.
19:28
Speaker 1: You know when someone just like will not look you
19:30
Speaker 1: in your eyes and you're like looking at your mouth
19:32
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh no, I'm something my teeth, like
19:34
Speaker 1: what's on pizza? Person? And we'll just look at anything
19:37
Speaker 1: that's wrong with my face and I'm like, I can't
19:38
Speaker 1: talk to you anymore. So that's why my microphone is
19:41
Speaker 1: at an abnormally high level today. Can't even tell honestly
19:44
Speaker 1: thank you yes because it's covering it. Okay, this is
19:48
Speaker 1: one of the worst things that I saw this week.
19:49
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, but uh Ryan Tannehill
19:56
Speaker 1: made a comment about Malik Willis, who got drafted to
20:00
Speaker 1: the Titans. I really like this guy, me too. We
20:03
Speaker 1: saw him at his pro day. He seems like he's
20:05
Speaker 1: got so much great energy. He's really talented quarterback. He
20:09
Speaker 1: gets drafted to the Titans. Good for him. So excited
20:12
Speaker 1: dropped a lot too right, I don't wait later when
20:15
Speaker 1: we all thought he would crazy. Um, yeah, you're a
20:18
Speaker 1: Titans fan. Are you excited about so stud and his kid? Yes,
20:21
Speaker 1: let's let the Malik Willis Eris start today. Let's do it. Okay.
20:24
Speaker 1: So Ryan Tannehill clearly a little bit grumpy about the situation.
20:28
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I thought that this
20:29
Speaker 1: was really like immature, he said. I don't think it's
20:33
Speaker 1: my job to mentor him, but if he learns from
20:35
Speaker 1: me along the way, then that's a great thing. I
20:37
Speaker 1: don't want my quarterback to be like that. That's horrible.
20:40
Speaker 1: Well how old is Ryan Tannehill thirty four thirty four?
20:45
Speaker 1: Well he has that. Um, we've been talking a lot
20:49
Speaker 1: about the QB position in Titans land this sure, and
20:53
Speaker 1: now we got a new one. I think the quote
20:57
Speaker 1: hearing him say it comes off better than the way.
21:00
Speaker 1: It's like just read how does he say? How does
21:02
Speaker 1: he say? And what tone? Because he also says that
21:04
Speaker 1: he texted with Malik and like was excited to get
21:07
Speaker 1: to work with him and he says, like, you know,
21:09
Speaker 1: when you're when you're in the quarterback room, like you're
21:12
Speaker 1: always competing against each other, and you know, I don't
21:15
Speaker 1: think it's my job to mentor him, but if he
21:17
Speaker 1: learned something along the way, then that's great for the team.
21:20
Speaker 1: Kind of kind of mentality. It's not necessarily what you
21:24
Speaker 1: want your quarterback to say. You want him to be like, yeah,
21:26
Speaker 1: if I were a Milik, I'd be like oooh okay,
21:28
Speaker 1: I won't be calling him as an imprisonment advice. Eli
21:32
Speaker 1: Manning said the same thing about Daniel Jones, Joe Flacco,
21:35
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson, Ben Roethlisberger, about all the quarterbacks that
21:38
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh drafted. Yeah, none of those guys really strike me
21:41
Speaker 1: as like a fun Aaron Rodgers about Jordan Rogers, and well,
21:47
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers obviously had some problems with the Jordan love
21:50
Speaker 1: of it all. Yeah, I mean it's kind of like
21:52
Speaker 1: it is a lot to ask them, I guess, to
21:55
Speaker 1: rise above and be like just be okay that this
21:58
Speaker 1: person's going to try and steal your job. A lot
22:00
Speaker 1: to ask of a person, and like, in what world
22:03
Speaker 1: does anybody have to do this? Outside of football? Brian
22:07
Speaker 1: was Ryan Fitzpatrick was cool with Tua, right, he was
22:10
Speaker 1: like this kid, Ryan Fitzpatrick's a special guy. Yeah. Once
22:14
Speaker 1: you reach a certain colch of your career too, where
22:16
Speaker 1: you like know that you're a mentor slash backup, then
22:19
Speaker 1: you start thinking of it that way. But I think
22:21
Speaker 1: when you're a little bit later on your career, like
22:23
Speaker 1: Kurt Warner had the perfect response. Can you can you
22:25
Speaker 1: read the tweeted I'll never understand the I'm not here
22:29
Speaker 1: to mentor the next guy mentality. So for all your
22:32
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks that need a mentor DM me, and I'll
22:35
Speaker 1: be that guy happy to help in any way I can't. Yeah,
22:37
Speaker 1: but it's different because Kurts retired. Kurt's moved on to
22:40
Speaker 1: this like next phase. Sound oh my god, totally Kurt's
22:43
Speaker 1: the best, um, but I do. Yeah, you know what,
22:46
Speaker 1: maybe on second thought, I think differently about this. It
22:48
Speaker 1: would be weird for anybody to like if some young
22:52
Speaker 1: comedian joined NFL network and started doing sketches um and
22:55
Speaker 1: like was killing it. Like I don't know, I'd be
22:58
Speaker 1: a little like what the hell. They also didn't say
23:01
Speaker 1: are you gonna mentor they didn't ask him like, are
23:04
Speaker 1: you gonna mentor Milik Willis and him, and he's like, well,
23:07
Speaker 1: I don't think it's my job. He kind of brought
23:09
Speaker 1: this up out of nowhere. So on that standpoint, it's
23:11
Speaker 1: like you didn't have to say that, Yeah, you could
23:14
Speaker 1: have just not yeahs less is more, I guess. And
23:17
Speaker 1: a leadership, A true leader leads by leading right, not
23:20
Speaker 1: by like talking about what he's gonna do. That's why
23:22
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is so great. And it's different. Good dude,
23:25
Speaker 1: Tannehill isn't a second or third year guy. He's a veteran. Yeah,
23:28
Speaker 1: he's been here, so it's not like if you're young.
23:32
Speaker 1: And also maybe he doesn't want to step on any toes.
23:35
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't want to think like Malik Wills, I'm
23:37
Speaker 1: your mentor now high nice to meet you, following my footsteps,
23:40
Speaker 1: like Meliss a grown man, like he's going to be
23:43
Speaker 1: able to figure out what he's you sure, he's new,
23:45
Speaker 1: but he's still you know, right, I'm pro mentors, you're
23:48
Speaker 1: promot me? Yeah? Are you? So? Are the Titans in
23:57
Speaker 1: a rebuild now because they have a rookie we're feeling good?
24:01
Speaker 1: Got rid of a Brown. I hate that they traded
24:03
Speaker 1: a j Brown although the more that comes out about it,
24:06
Speaker 1: the more it feels like they salvaged a horrible situation
24:09
Speaker 1: that maybe they created with A. J. Brown. I don't know.
24:12
Speaker 1: It's all messy, but I don't know if we're in
24:14
Speaker 1: a rebuild, if the tight I said we, I don't
24:17
Speaker 1: know if the Titans are in a rebuild or if they, Like,
24:21
Speaker 1: I don't know this is going to play out like this,
24:22
Speaker 1: but they maybe hope they can do a Kansas City
24:25
Speaker 1: Alex Smith to Patrick Mahomes style transition. Yeah yeah, yeah,
24:29
Speaker 1: still be a playoff team. And then the young guy
24:31
Speaker 1: comes in and he's what you needed to go win
24:33
Speaker 1: super Bowls. But he's also a third round pick, Like
24:36
Speaker 1: how often do third round quarterbacks? Really? Yeah? Well, I
24:39
Speaker 1: mean I think this draft is just weird, Like I
24:40
Speaker 1: don't think that you can look at it like that,
24:42
Speaker 1: Like everyone has had other needs this year, But um,
24:45
Speaker 1: I still can't believe that Baker didn't end up somewhere.
24:47
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this before we started recording.
24:50
Speaker 1: I'm kind of bummed for him, Like I feel like
24:51
Speaker 1: he wanted obviously to land somewhere before the summer and
24:54
Speaker 1: then start to prep with whatever team he's gonna go
24:57
Speaker 1: to and there were so many fit for him. I think,
25:01
Speaker 1: like Carolina seem to be very interested in the Baker
25:05
Speaker 1: Mayfield market, and then they picked up Matt Crowell. Right,
25:09
Speaker 1: um Seahawks obviously pretty clear fit. Um. But now he's
25:16
Speaker 1: just in purgatory. So like what happens now? Is he
25:18
Speaker 1: gonna have to go back to Cleveland? I think I
25:20
Speaker 1: sit on the bench so awkward? That would be so sad. Also,
25:25
Speaker 1: who knows if Deshaun Watson's even going to be able
25:27
Speaker 1: to play at the start of the season, So would
25:29
Speaker 1: he be forced to play like or this Jacobe gonna
25:32
Speaker 1: be their starting quarterback? Like what? Yeah? Other I think
25:35
Speaker 1: other teams know that the Browns hands are tied and
25:38
Speaker 1: they're just gonna wait and see how it plays out,
25:41
Speaker 1: because there's no reason to give up a lot for him.
25:44
Speaker 1: Browns have to pay him all that money and if
25:45
Speaker 1: they want to cut him, they the Steelers, Remember they
25:48
Speaker 1: said they'd pick him up the next day. Yeah, so messy.
25:53
Speaker 1: Why did Cleveland do it this way? It's a poor
25:57
Speaker 1: way to handle poor Baker. I mean across the No
26:00
Speaker 1: matter what you feel about like Baker, whether you like
26:02
Speaker 1: him or don't like him, I nose polarizing, but this
26:04
Speaker 1: is a terrible situation for him, Like I would so
26:07
Speaker 1: love to be a fly on the wall, Like are
26:09
Speaker 1: they panicking at this point? Is this what they expected
26:11
Speaker 1: to happen. It's like when you say bye to someone
26:14
Speaker 1: and then you almost like to marry that vibe. No, uh, okay,
26:24
Speaker 1: some of the good things that I saw. So Brady
26:26
Speaker 1: is shooting this movie right now, eighty to Brady, and
26:31
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a lot of fun. It sounds
26:34
Speaker 1: like it's going well. The premise for this movie, if
26:37
Speaker 1: I remember correctly when this first got leaked, was there's
26:41
Speaker 1: a bunch of old ladies who are eighty that want
26:43
Speaker 1: to see Brady before you know, they can't see Brady anymore,
26:47
Speaker 1: and so they travel and watch so but he's like
26:50
Speaker 1: legit in this movie. Um, it's gonna be a lot
26:53
Speaker 1: of fun. He's looking jacked. Uh So, I just can't
26:57
Speaker 1: wait to see his like legit acting chops. I hope
26:59
Speaker 1: it's not just like him, you know, being Tom Brady
27:02
Speaker 1: on the field. Like, I hope there's interaction. I hope
27:04
Speaker 1: he is a script. I hope he has like lines
27:05
Speaker 1: to memorize. How do you guys think he's gonna do.
27:08
Speaker 1: I think he'll do great. I think he will be good.
27:10
Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna be a sneaky good actor? Yeah?
27:12
Speaker 1: Do you think that if he's good, that this is
27:14
Speaker 1: going to open up more opportunities and then Brady's going
27:16
Speaker 1: to retire and become like an actor? I don't. I
27:18
Speaker 1: wouldn't go that far. I think he'll be better than Lebron.
27:21
Speaker 1: I think that he might be too famous, as you know,
27:25
Speaker 1: like Tom Cruise is obviously famous for being Tom Cruise,
27:28
Speaker 1: but he is an actor, Like Tom Brady is just
27:31
Speaker 1: so famous as Tom Brady. I don't think anyone would
27:34
Speaker 1: ever be able to see him as anybody else but
27:36
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I think it could kick start a thing
27:39
Speaker 1: where he plays himself more frequently. Yeah, but that's gonna
27:42
Speaker 1: get tired. That's gonna get old really quickly. True. The
27:45
Speaker 1: Rocks is just like totally cemented the post athletic career
27:50
Speaker 1: right acting career. In Brady's Instagram post, he shouted out
27:54
Speaker 1: the Rock and he said I'm free until August of
27:56
Speaker 1: even needing help with stunts. Yeah, and then the Rock says,
27:59
Speaker 1: looking a specimen, brother, Why do men talk to each
28:03
Speaker 1: other that way. Speaking of men talking to each other,
28:08
Speaker 1: Gronk has said that he will come back and play
28:12
Speaker 1: I guess in the NFL with the box if Edelman joins,
28:16
Speaker 1: what is going on? Do you guys think that that
28:19
Speaker 1: could happen? I saw that there was a photo of
28:21
Speaker 1: them in like a hot tub together. It was very
28:23
Speaker 1: cute Gronks beach party that happened in Vegas. I was invited.
28:27
Speaker 1: I said, no, oh wow, Yeah. I was like, I've
28:29
Speaker 1: been in Gronks parties before. I don't need to be
28:31
Speaker 1: feeling the way that I may feeling the next day. Um,
28:36
Speaker 1: why not? Why not? Right? If he's in shape, which
28:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure he is. I saw I'm walking down the
28:40
Speaker 1: street in December and he looked great. Pete absolutely made
28:45
Speaker 1: a fool of himself. Jewels love you, and he goes hey,
28:51
Speaker 1: and I was just like Jesus, So I called him
28:54
Speaker 1: jewels with their own a friendly basis. It was it fun.
28:59
Speaker 1: Pete was just grinning from ear to ear the rest
29:01
Speaker 1: of the night. So dorky. Anyways, those are some of
29:04
Speaker 1: the best and worst things that I saw. Um this
29:07
Speaker 1: past week, I'm trying to think of if I saw
29:09
Speaker 1: anything sketch in Vegas. Just seen in Vegas a little dicey.
29:14
Speaker 1: If anyone's trying to like be an improv in character work,
29:17
Speaker 1: she could go to Vegas and people watch for like
29:19
Speaker 1: an hour and you'll find like your whole cast of characters.
29:22
Speaker 1: It's wild. That's great advice. So last week, let's get
29:25
Speaker 1: to the end of this thing. Let's kick off a team,
29:27
Speaker 1: shall we. Last week, Mo, you missed this? We killed
29:31
Speaker 1: off the Cowboys and the Falcons. Dounzo Jets still in
29:36
Speaker 1: the mix. Hands Us won't stop texting me about the Jets. Now.
29:40
Speaker 1: I'm almost regretting keeping them in the mix if I
29:43
Speaker 1: have to deal with these shenanigans the whole they did.
29:47
Speaker 1: Why I always getting all these texts best corner, best receiver,
29:49
Speaker 1: best running Mick. I know it could be on the
29:52
Speaker 1: it could be on the way up. For for the Jets,
29:54
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I promised i'd keep them alive for the
29:56
Speaker 1: next few weeks. Um, who do we have left? Graver?
30:00
Speaker 1: Can you like rattle off a couple of names? Oh? Yeah,
30:06
Speaker 1: who do we got? Who do we got still alive?
30:09
Speaker 1: Starting to start with the best teams, the best teams. Yeah,
30:12
Speaker 1: it's very subjective. The Packers. The Bengals were in the
30:16
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, they must be pretty good. The Chiefs, the Bucks.
30:20
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are still alive. The Bills, I thought I
30:22
Speaker 1: got rid of them, The Ravens, the Broncos, the Steelers,
30:26
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Raiders, the Colts, the Washington Commanders, the Vikings,
30:31
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Giants, the Panthers, the Falcons, the Saints,
30:35
Speaker 1: the Lions, I think, Eagles, the Niners. Okay, here's I'll
30:41
Speaker 1: let you into my brain. Right now, I'm thinking eats
30:44
Speaker 1: between the Chiefs this week, just because they've you know,
30:47
Speaker 1: they've got they don't need another fan. I'm trying to
30:49
Speaker 1: get rid of all of the really good teams because
30:50
Speaker 1: it's just too bandwagony, and that's not interesting to me.
30:53
Speaker 1: Chiefs are definitely on the chopping block. Another team that
30:57
Speaker 1: I'm kind of anti right now is Washington because of
31:01
Speaker 1: their name. Choice Commanders is not doing it for me.
31:04
Speaker 1: I know it's not doing it for a lot of people.
31:07
Speaker 1: Washington football team was a beautiful name. It was very
31:10
Speaker 1: it was very soccer, it was very other football, and
31:13
Speaker 1: I really dug that kind of like you know, got
