• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Reese Parkinson.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going full Gladstone today. If you're listening, you can't
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: see the He looks very handsome.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's James Gludstone on a podium is my zoom background
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: for this week.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: If you position yourself right, then it will look like
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: you're just next to him, as if you've made the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: draft choices alongside James Gladstone.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: There we go block twist on today's episode. But I
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: was in the draft room with ROSSELLI, coach Gohen Gladstone, and.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: They all said, and they all said, Reese, what do
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: you think of the pick?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: In fact that that's my first question, Actually, Reese, did
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you enjoy the draft?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I thought we needed a blocking tight end. I think
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I did every other Jacubs fan, I think, did.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: You enjoy the draft?
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: Then?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Reese?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. Actually it was I feel like he
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: overall it's one of those years where you kind of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: knew who was going first. For like last year was
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a bit more kind of like you maybe there's a surprise,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But this year it felt like, Okay, yeah, he's Mendoza's
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: going to the Raiders. We know that, but I had
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: no clue what we're going to do. I feel like drafts,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: mock drafts are all a bit of pot luck. Although
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I know some people are like, I know my top
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: one hundred will be the top one hundred, but I
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: had no idea. And to be honest with you, Jay,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: all of our picks, I'm like, let's see what about you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we're going to go through and we're going to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: go and yeah, I mean, look, it would be lying
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: if we said that we knew everything in depth about
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: all of these players before they were drafted, But I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: suppose that part of the fun is finding out about
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: them afterwards.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Rees. So today on the show, we're going to be
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: breaking down the Jags draft.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to our UK fan who was there
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, and we're going to play Rees go in
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: glad Stone where two British guys with no GM experience
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that actually it turns out that Reese might have had
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: some over the last few days and no clue about
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: budgets we're going to go after free agents to bolster
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the jag squad in twenty twenty six, plus news in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: our dou of our dispatches about the upcoming opposition announcement.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: But first the draft.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: For our American listeners, be aware that you know, watching
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: NFL games in the UK is not easy at the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: best of times. Watching the first round of the draft
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in fact, on a Thursday night and the second and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: third round at the same time.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: It's not easy, is it. It's not easy, is it, Reese?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: It is hard.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I think that's just our life though, isn't it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's just pure as an NFL fan outside of the US,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: where if you're based in Europe anyway, or Asia or
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: anywhere where the time difference is completely different, you're just
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: constantly tired. So if your team wins, at least you
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: have something to make up for the fact you're going
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to wake up shattered most Monday mornings a.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Ton of drafts.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And that's not even considering the fact that, of course
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't have a first round pick this
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: year with the Travis Hunter trade from last year. So
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I mean you've touched on it. Already the second round.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars started their draft off with a blocking
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: tight end, which, as much as it might be a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: fantastic draft pick going forward and that will really really
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: feel thankful for him, Let's be frank and I'd say
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this to Nate Berkersher. I'd say to him, it's not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the it's not the most exciting draft pick in the world.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But that's okay, that's okay.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really know what, you know. I was
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: kind of just having a scour and on socials, et cetera,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and watching YouTube videos of people's predictions, mock drafts, et cetera,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and where people thought we would go and what kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: of player we'd end up with. But I just think
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: all of our picks is pretty clear. A everyone that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: kind of tweets and has backlash about our pick they
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: were if they knew so much that they'd probably be
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a GM they themselves, which they aren't. And it's pretty
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: clear that Gladstone has a plan here. It felt like
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it was a this is like a three to five
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: year let's let's have the building blocks of our team
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to make an incredible team, you know, just like he
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: did in La it's like, let's let's build for the future,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and it just feels like he's doing that clearly after
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: last year. If we're just going to go off one year,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you're an idiot if you don't think he doesn't know
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: what he's doing. I know it's only one year, but
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: from the year that we saw you, like, how can
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you start moaning because we picked a block in tight end?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I know we kind of joked about slightly, but I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: don't really understand the backlash, to be honest, give the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: kid a chance. Can ninety percent of the people that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: listen to this podcast honestly say they saw this kid
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: last year?
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's exciting anyway, because as much as
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it again isn't like the sexiest pick in the world
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: or what does that imply. It means that they know
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that they're going to have to have a focus on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the running game. That's what they're going to be doing,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and they need those bodies in there to be able
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to to be able to produce the best especially you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: if you know Travis a Chain or Eten isn't going
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to be there anymore as well, it's going to be
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a sort of a different running back room.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: As well, so you need that body in there as well.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Jay, I'm saying like I was saying, this kid, I'm
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: pretty sure he's twenty five, is about to turn twenty five.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So it's like you've got a grown man that you've drafted,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like he's ready to make an impact. So yeah, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: trust Gladstone, to be honest, seems very strategic. I'm pretty
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: sure they had him. I think some people had Nate
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: going round three or even four, so you know, to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: make a you know, potentially like one hundred picks out
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of what some people had him. You know, Gladstone and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: everyone in that room, they're not idiots. Surely they see
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: something in this kid.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Sorry I keep saying kid. Anyone who gets drafted, they're
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: like this kid, this eighteen year old kid, like you
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: know anyone who gets drafted, Like they've they've spoke to him,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: they've done the interviews, they've done the prep, they've done
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the research. Like I think you have to trust the.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: More than anything else. They see where he fits into
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the squad. You see, they see where he fits into
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the unit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: One person.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I do want to point out reason I think that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it's going to have an impact next season and especially
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: in a position where you really really rely on people
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: staying healthy. Is the third round pick at eight overall,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Emmanuel Pregnant, the guard from Oregon. He was at USC
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: as well, ultra experienced, can play left guard, right guard
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: as well. Now the thing is with the O line
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for the Jacks at the moment, Patrick McCary comes in,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Ezra Cleveland there. Wyatt Millan was drafted last year as well,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but O line is like, I mean, look, every position
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you need to be healthy, obviously, but if you go
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: down offensive lineman I know, I'm just speaking the obviously,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: if you go down an offensive linemen, they are fantastic,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and you put in somebody that isn't able to to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to be able to replicate that or isn't able to
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: maybe has the experience, and it's not necessarily going to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: go well. So some drafting somebody like him in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: third round, I wonder if we're going to see him
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: play next year nearly?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I think one hundred percent. And I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: think you're not. You're not going to You're not going
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: to draft him and go oh, I regret I regret
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: drafting him as the third round pick number.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Eighty eight that's a good honestly, is a genuinely good point.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: It is. It is a good point. Nobody's going to
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: be thinking that, especially in that position.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And I think he actually was another player that I
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: saw on some mock drafts. Take them as they will,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but I saw some that had him round four, round five.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So you know, again we're drafting slightly higher on him.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So you'd like to think, you know, Gladstone knows something
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: that perhaps the geniuses who make these mocks drafts don't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Well, look, there's a ton of other picks, and we
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: could go through every single one that would be lying
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: if we we knew a lot about them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I like Jalen Husky, not only do I like his
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: reaction video where it just he was Have you imagine
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he had him drafted a top golf.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: He was not a top golf.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It was a top golf.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: He was a top golf.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He was a top golf when he got drafted, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: he's screaming, he's screaming, going, and then they're like then
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: they realized, wait a minute, we're at top golf. We
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: can't hear my name getting drafted. So he's like, turn
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the volume up, turn the volume up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: On a TV.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you've gone to Top Golf
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: for any mini golf five side play where you've actually
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: heard the TV.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, there's like Brian and Chad next door, who are like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: can you calm down, I'm trying to play here. Golf
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: not necessarily known as the sport where people just scream
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: at the top of their lungs all the time.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? That's fantastic? Do you
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: know what's so good about that?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Is that obviously this is such an amazing moment for
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: all of these players being drafted, and forever and ever
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and ever people will ask him, oh, you know, talk
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to me about your your draft experience, and he's just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: like top Golf as a Top Golf mate.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Jay, can I ask you a question? Yeah? So the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: listeners that are not aware and sorry to disappoint, Jay
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Lawrence is married. But let me live here. You'll see
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: where going?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Where is this going?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So let's make up a scenario where you are about
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to get drafted. Who do you hug first when your
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: name gets read out? Do you hug your mom or
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: dad who are sitting to your left, or do you
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: hug your wife first? Who's sitting to your right.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: This seems to be a thing that I feel like
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: some players have already gone through this in their minds
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and they've told their wife or their mum, I'm hugging
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the wife first, and then straight after we're going to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: come to you. Who are you going for? When I
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: go the Jacksonville Jaguars with the second pick, You're not
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're not a person.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: At least realistic.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: In the in the seventh round. In the first round,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: first round, second pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars select Jay Lawrence.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Room goes crazy. Where are you turning? Who are hugging first?
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And why is it an absolute cop out to say?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Do I have two cats, one of them in my
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: arms at the time? Am I giving them a giving
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: them a big hug?
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Instead, they're in the other room.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And then the other well, I run to It's the
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: camera on me because I'm running to them because it
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: will go viral. So you know, I'll run. I'll run
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to them. I'll run to them and bring a cat
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: back and give them, give them a hug.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Did you know what?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Actually, as much as I'd like to say that that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is a realistic scenario, I don't think it is.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: However, we do have somebody that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Has joined us and joining us right now that I mean,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily saying it's going to get picked to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the draft, but definitely has more experience in the draft
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: than we do. Somebody who's actually there at the NFL
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Draft in Pittsburgh. Jaguars International fan of the Year in
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: point to aka pedal Bin. Listen to the podcast from
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: February to find out why how was it, pedal Bin?
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, you need to tell us everything.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Legend, everything will all take an awful long time. It
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: was such an incredible experience. Those three days were utterly incredible.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: People often talk about once in a lifetime experiences. Money
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: can't buy experiences, but that was generally one of those
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: those experiences. To go up there with thirty two of us,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: bust all that the plus ones, so sixty four of us,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: to go through those three days was utterly epic. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: mean the first day, did the NFL throws everything at
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the draft? Yeah, so nothing was held back. It was
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: all lights, sounds, information overloads.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: So they got on an absolute spectacle.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I mean that the afternoon when we picked up our
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: jerseys had a Q and a with Roger Goodell any
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: basis had up in to twenty fourteen, it was at
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Radio City Music Hall, just when you've seen it, thirty
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: two desks, people reading cards and holding them up and
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: going down the front. And then in twenty fifteen Radio
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: City Music Hall went, well, we're having an event. You
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: can have the Draft in June, and Roger went, not
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: doing that, Let's move it to a stage and now
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: we have it there, Let's have an event, believe, and
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: he said, an event where two hundred and fifty seven
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: names get read out gets kind of boring unless you
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: sell it and involve the fans and do something. And
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: it's now grown to its three hundred and eight hundred
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: and five thousand in total over the three days, three
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty on the first night, two hundred and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: sixty on the second night, it was the entire town
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: was just Draft town. They're just spent one hundred and
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: forty million on improvements around the city to make it
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: all look nice, and it was just incre and it
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: was just an amazing city.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Everyone was so friendly.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: As Joe and I were walking around on the first
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: morning just to explore the city, and clearly we weren't locals.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: They all went out dag Skier and a couple of
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: people were shouting across the street and said, oh, here
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: we go.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: And I came over and.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: And are you guys from Florida? Went nowhere from England
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: were Then Jay pointed at me. When he's the fan
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: of the year, he gets announced the pick. Oh that's
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: all so much incredible, welcome to our city, enjoy your
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: time in Pittsburgh, and off they walked pretty much that
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: for the three days. Everyone was coming up shaking our hands,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: grab a picture with you. Since we got the jerseys
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: with the patches on, we had loads of people trying
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: to get all sturdy, two international fans the year with
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: the patches, people asking for interviews.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: It was just just surreal.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: How many other did you see? Other Jag fans were
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: all in a group.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: So there was a draft experience, as they call it,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: which is pretty much what they they do before the NFL.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: At Wembley, they had the kick the field goal, the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: high charms to sprint the Steelers there with their drum line.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: There was a big sort of gathering there and a
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: couple of people came up to us there and when
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: you're the first Jags fans we've seen. The Jags fans
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: were clearly been on the ground the first round pick.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's probably made it. That probably
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: made it first.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Probably we did it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: So there was about maybe I saw a dozen other
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Jags fans, but coming night were in the inner circle
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: where each team has its little bit fifteen chairs with
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: the international fans.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: We were sat in the front row.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: And then birth night, I think there's some corporate people
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: behind us, but on the second night there's some more
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: domestic fans of the year, people who basically and I
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: thought I was underdressed because I was dripping in jagsciar
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: and these people just take it to another level between
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: on TV Teelapatra, the lady with the big peel af
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: row and the lashes, she was there, other guys, and yeah,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: we went to a super fan rally in the afternoon
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: for the second day, and yeah, I mean I've never
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: seen so many just dressed up in two excess supporting
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: their teams, and everybody was so friendly.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: There was no one team wins, one team lose.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Everyone shaking hands and taking pictures and it was just incredible.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: So yeah, the actual putting for the draft. Days one
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: and two, we were penned in where I was. When
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I was on the seventh throw, Joe looked behind us
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: somewhere three hundred thousand people behind.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Just absolutely amazing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I mean Day three, as we left, I mean we
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: all stop and stopped and looked at one sort of
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: final look at the draft before we left. And so
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: it has actually got quite emotional because actually this is this.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: We're never going to do this again ever, so we
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: won't get that chance to come out again. And three
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: days of just all the fans were just great. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: mean we've all said only in each other for about
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: three days, but the friendships was made a probably gonna
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: last a lifetime. We're talking about meeting up and everyone saying,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: if it comes a game in Germany, we'll host you.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: A South American fans saying we'll come over. If you
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: ever come over to Mexico, Brazil will look after you,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and we're doing the same thing. If it comes to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: a London game, we'll all meet up.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Give me, give me, give me a one favorite moment.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: That's my pick.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was just awesome to be a tiny
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: little bit of history. It was an almost out of
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: body experience because we were all, we're all joking. Please
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: give me a nice season and give me a Fred Tater,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: give me a Jimmy Smith, give me a two older
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: I know, just give me something easy. And then yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: I got Tanner Gaziel didn't I. So I turned up
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: and looked at the draft and just went.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: They tell you how to pronounce it right, Yeah.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: It's fanatically spelled. Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: So you're sitting there and then he's all got the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: all the hussle at the backstage and pick was one
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: sixty four, So just before one sixty three you had
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: about thirty or forty people being sworn into the American forces.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: So the two star generals had all that going on,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: so it was chaos backstage. So they came off and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: the Viking sky was in front of me John's and
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: he's all got the countdown from the lady the side
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: of and he wandered out and then the lady said, oh,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: your picks in.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: It's a tight end.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I went, oh, that's okay, So the names easy, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I just found him the card and I was like,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: all right, pedal.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I kind of liked the idea of flipping this around
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and thinking from Tanner's perspective when his family goes, oh,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: so you got drafted by by did PSELLI read your
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: name out or coach coming or Gladstone or mister carn
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: you No, it was pedal Bin.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Sadly not.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: They did come to the because I was joking in
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the crowd game because but if you heard it on
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: some of the coverage they have, like the Jags announcer
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: guy going and making the next pick, and they announced
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: it and it was an international fan of the Jamie
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Penn or whoever it was coming out, and I sort
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: of said to the other they're going to call me,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: and they're going to call me pedal Bin Welwyn didn't
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: get through it. It was my government issued ID name
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: as they came out, so yeah it was. But I
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: didn't hear it announced as I was walking to the stage.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: When I came back to my seat, I was like,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: did they say my name?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And the music?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: When I heard the replay, yes, they read my name
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: out now making one hundred and sixty fourth pigures The
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Jaggers International Fan of the Year Ian Pointer, like, didn't
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: hear that?
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: What was it like when you got onto stage and
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: you just looked out.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Start off with some of the internet because my pick
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: was quite late in the day, one hundred and sixty
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: fourth or first one, and I think it was one
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: hundred and three, which was Anthony the Jets guys.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: He was up early.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: And I've been rehearsing what to say for about a month,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: saying thanking the Jags, organization, city of Pittsburgh, all the
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: all the good things, and said hello to my life
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: and Charle. But that was basically about it. When you
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: get the five or three t one and you walk out,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: because I've been sat there watching it for two and
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: a half days and then I've seen the view from
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the stage, I think I've got try and take it
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: all in, not fall off the edge of the stage,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: find the lector, and hope my brain doesn't switch off
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: and disappear and come back. And then it's a fairly
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: simple sentence to say. With one hundred and fifty fourth
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: picks in the twenty twenty six NFL Draft, the Jacksonville
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Jaguars selects Tanner Kaziel ty N Houston, not messed this up?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Have you got to wear with you?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Then you've got a card with you, So what you're
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: going to do with that, because we know that you're
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: massive on your Jags merch. You're going to have to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: do something special with that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I was hoping that.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, Rod Goodell was in the crowd and out
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: and signing stuff. But I had made my pick by
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: the time I've done that, so I know he was
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: signing them. I know, Jamie laughter, You've got Roger Goodell
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: to sign it. And I'm hoping that I get a
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: chance to meet him when he comes over. I'm assuming
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: he makes the team. Clearly he is a huge Hall
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: of Famer. Because I picked him, I don't get a
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: chance to meet him one to one night and shouting
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and it'll come over and I'll get it signed.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Great, it's a great idea.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: One I think I do want to mention, mate, is
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: last time that we spoke to you was when you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it was announced that you're going to be the International
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Fan of the Year, and understandably it was quite an
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: emotional moment for you finding out that you that not
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: only were you the Fan of the Year, but of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: course you're going to be going to the draft as well,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: and you and you spoke quite eloquently about your aunt.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: I believe that I'm.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Right when I say, who's no longer with us? And
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you said how much it would mean to her and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: how much it means to you. Because of that, I'm
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: just wondering if when you were out there, if that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: sort of hit home any further at all?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: It did?
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, I thought, there's some I don't want to
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: bring this all down, but my mum's dying basically, she's
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: got days left to live, and before I left, I
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: knew it was probably the last time I'm going to
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: see it because I have a hip operation tomorrow so
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I can't drive for ten weeks.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: So that was that.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Chatting to my wife after I saw my mom, I went, yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: she's in a bad way.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Do I go?
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Do I not go? Do I cancel the trip to
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: my parents?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: My and my wife basically said if you don't go,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: more haunt you for the rest of your days for
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: not going. The morning of day three, I woke up
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to a voicemail from the care home and I thought
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I dreaded the worst. I was like, oh, no, this
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: is not what I want to get. Say, No, she's
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: she's she's got poorly. Can you come and visit?
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, I can't.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I'm in Pittsburgh st mess with my brother and he
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: went down to see her and she's still with us.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: But yeah, she hasn't got long for Yeah, that was
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: playing in my mind of wouldn't it be nice to
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: come home and say to them, let's be on stage,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: but yeah, that's not going to happen.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it was so Yeah, that was playing in
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: my mind a bit.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: You have to wait so long for your for your
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: bit that when you finally get on stage, you're in there,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: you're out.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: It was over to too quickly. You see why she
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: want my have another go and I can take it
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: all in.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: It is super like we've done it once in Dublin.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I think it may have been two years ago, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I remember you're kind of like, because you don't know
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: you're the pick, could be traded, you know, you're kind
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: of like, oh, well, I think it's going to be
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: in five hours time, and then you're going, don't mess
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: this up because I'm thinking of the person who's going
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: to be drafted. The last thing they I don't want
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: to ruin their memory of this imbecile got my name wrong.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Read my mom, my grandma, My whole family's watching like
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Jay two cats are watching as well, and you don't
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: want to screw up their moments. So you're kind of like, oh,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: you put so much pressure on yourself, So pedal, Ben,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you did a.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: And especially especially you know, with such what sounds like
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: an incredibly difficult time for you as well.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: It was absolutely fantastic. I mean we all said in.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: The stadium, so that the tics behind the stage to
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: the head table where the actual draft picks were made.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: We found out around and I just ended up sitting
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: behind the computer of the head guy actually taps in
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: the final draft pick, and I was on his right
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: hand side. I see his handwritten notes on the first
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: night of who was drafted and when as he wrote
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: it down, So you won't having a picture of that
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: because that one's for the memories.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: So but it was good.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: You're at stage in tours, We've got two backstage that
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: we were treated.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: So well, and to have all that going on, it
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: was just absolutely awesome.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: So I'd say we do hope they continue it because
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: it's such an amazing experience for any fan.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Give me like a quick summary of how do you
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: feel like we did on draft night? I mean, you
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: were there what's your thoughts on who we picked.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I read an article the following day going we overstretched
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: to pick for a tight end who's wasn't particularly highly.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: We should have got him in the fourth round, not
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the second. But enough of bent and strange. Let's move
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: on to who we picked last night. And you went yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: pretty much to say. People at the airport were saying,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I want you to think of the draft. I said,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: give me to this three years and I'll let you
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: know because you have all these mock draft, these draft analysts.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's basically it's your best guess.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, you know as well.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And either there's the amount of first round draft picks
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: we've had Johnny Manzel, everyone criticizing the Jags used to
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: pick Manzell. You've you've you've blown it there. You should
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: have picked him, and I did three four years he
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: lasted and forevery Payton Manning, you get Ryan Leaf. So
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hope, yeah, you're hit.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: And all these people say the day i'd heard you
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: word of discussing all the socials saying, are we we
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: may could have dropped the fourth round? He could have
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: gone him in Well, if that's the player you want,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: you get him if he's there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that is the truest sentence about
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: not just this draft of the Jags, but any draft whatsoever.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: If you want a player, you go and get him,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and you don't criticize people for trading up. Well, what
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: about getting a player that you really want? No matter
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: what you know round it? They're in pedal Bin. Thank
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you so much for joining us today. I just want
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to end on this because we know that you are
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: a massive, as I mentioned before, massive Jags merch guy.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Undoubtedly you went out there and you got some stuff.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Talk us through it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: We hit the first pro shot and it was all
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: steeper stuff.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: And what was in a goodie bag? What was in
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: a goodie bag?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Then the first night bag, I had strat cat and pink,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: which is very nice. I had a Pham finger because
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: nothing says there. I felt like a big phone finger,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: T shirt, a little signed card from Tony Boselli saying
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: congrats Bazarrely, a packet of crisps, and I'm quite sure

  Speaker 3: were they announce suing their responsor.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Laila's ready sorted genuine potatoes, and I thought, why

  Speaker 3: would they not be genuine potatoes in a crisp hell pedal.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Big. You're giving the most British rundown on this event.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: I kind of love it, like when you're like I
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: walked out and we walked on the streets and they
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: looked at us and they said hey, Jake fan. We went,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: oh my god, people speaking to us.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Can imagine walking around London and people saying come up
• 24:44

• 25:08
  Speaker 1: as we mentioned before, it must it must be a
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: very tough time for you at the moment, but I'm
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: so happy that you got to experience that and going
• 25:16

• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I just think the notion of announcing a draft pick
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: is just I know that you've been lucky to be
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: involved in something like that race like, but to me,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that is just prime, just one of those things that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: if you were ever able to do, you'll you'll just
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: never forget it. So it's just an incredible thing and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: intensely jealous of him going to Pittsburgh for the NFL
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Draft an amazing thing.
• 26:32

• 27:54
  Speaker 1: going Gladstone? Yeah, yeah, pays perfectly.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Let anytime you say his name he appears.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like beetle juice. Okay, some tasty free agents
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: out there. Now that the draft is done, what should
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: James Gladstone and co.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Do?
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I must stress, by the way, Reese, that this is
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: totally fantasy. I'll speak on behalf of me, but I'll
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: only assume you as well. We have zero idea of budgets.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: We have zero idea what it's like to be an
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: NFL GM. We are not caps, but cap experts. This
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: is just, you know, our own pitch. I suppose, Reese,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: would you would would you like to start?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Well, speak for yourself because I believe I could have
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: experience if given the opportunity, mister Gladstone. So okay, I'm
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: going by free agents. Do we want a backup? Do
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: we want a different backup? QB? Because do you want?
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Are you going to say? Are you going to say it?
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Say it?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Because I sweares Russell Wilson rees, I swear that what
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the deal is Reese like quite like Russell Wilson. He
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: seems he seems quite fun. I like the drama. Sierra
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: will be in Jacksonville.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, it has nothing to do with football.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: It's just like quite like that one two step, like
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just like that's all you want, that's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: all you care about. So you what, let's just have
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just in and amongst Jacksonville. He doesn't even
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: need to be involved in the organization. Reese would just
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: like to meet him at some point.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Just what Russell Wilson gets Sierra in the building as well.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Let's make the off season fun. Let's get some live music. Yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, I don't know what all the stuff that's
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: going on with stuff on Biggs incredible talent, but obviously
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff outside Deebo Samuel just looking at
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: some of the skill position free agents or on line
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: t Deca, Joey Bosa, There's there's some big names. Von
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Miller getting a bit well quite I mean long in
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the twoth it's still a yeah agent. Yeah, let me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Let me pitch one. I'm going to pitch one. I'm
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: going to pitch two. In fact, I'll start with two.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start with and I think there'll be
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that are disagreeing with this, but
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: considering that he has just come off of a big injury,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be playing. But when
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it comes to how expensive certain players are, in this
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: particular one, I think it's going to be cheap. We
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just lost etn in the running back room. I know
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: we brought a new one in from Washington, of course,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: but I'm thinking I reckon Najie Harris coming off of
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: a big injury cheap. It'll be cheap because he's coming
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: off of an injury. I think there's only upside by
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: bringing him in because you don't you don't need to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: play him, and I don't think it'll cost very much money.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Is he a free agent.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's a free a because he's coming off of because
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: he was with the Steelers, of course, and then he
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: went to the Chargers where he was basically meant to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: be you know, the one A or one B running
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: back and then he got injured.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, running backs are really interesting position for us this year.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's like you know, and like you were saying,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: drafting the blocking tight end, it's kind of like hint, hint.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm really excited to see
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: what Bachell Towton does when it comes to being the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: lead running back, if that's where it leads up. You know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: obviously I mentioned Chris Withdriguez there as well, the Quinn Allen,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: DJ Dallas. They're all on the roster at the moment.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm just wondering, is there room for somebody like
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Najie Harris. There's not a ton of running backs that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: really excite me that are in running backs that really
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: excite me that are available. I just thought that that
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: might be an option the other person. I'm not sure
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: if it's going to happen, but I'd like there to
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: be another edition maybe into the linebacker corps. What about
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: the incredibly experienced you mentioned Russell Wilson before. What about
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: his former Seattle teammate, Bobby Wagner. What about bring him
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in again. He's somebody that he's been around, He's incredibly experienced.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But you know, you've got Ji lewak On there as well,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: of course, another experienced player, but you've just lost a
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: big part of your linebacker group. How about bringing Bobby Wagner,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: who's gonna want to challenge for a Super Bowl Ring
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: in what will be one of his last seasons, if
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: not his last season.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: You know what, that's actually a really really interesting, really
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: interesting pick there, Jay. On a serious note, because I
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: feel like Gladstone in his picks as well, I think
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: they do go for character as well as skill, if
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: not perhaps different to other teams. You make question a
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: bit more around character. So I feel like you played
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: those interviews. I feel like play a big part in
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Gladstone's protest which people do we want in the locker room?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: In terms of leadership, you can't ask for too much better.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I think with Bobby Wagner, I'm not sure what he's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: looking for.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure when he would even be looking to sign.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe something to be fair, like you said about four Yer,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: you know when I'm thinking of the defense and you
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: look at Josh as well, that we do.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Have leaders absolutely don't get you know.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're saying signed Bobby to replace, but no.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: No, I think that I think that the good thing
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'd say about the Jags is that especially you just
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: mentioned two players right there, blessed with some with big
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: leadership skills, big voices inside the organization and big players
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: as well in terms of impact players as well. I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: just got one more player. And this was just for
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: this was just for the.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: You are first name start with A in his last
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: name starts you are no.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: No, like, come on, Bryce Parkinson only cares about getting
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers, and not because he wants
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: to replace Trevor Lawrence. He just wants it there for
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the fun. Come on, man, I respect Aaron Rodgers as
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: a player incredibly. I can tell you that there is
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: nobody on earth that I would not have want less
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in that in the in the organization than Aaron Rodgers.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, a player that's played for
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the Titans, and he's played for the Texans. I don't
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: believe he's played for the Colts, but he's played for
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: so many teams around the NFL, and he's not that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: far off. Just doing a whole sweep of the AFC,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: AFC South in Jadavian Clowney.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: You know, he's he's been a.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Great He's always a free agent around this time of year.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Do I think that the Jags desperately need him?
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: No?
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Would he will?
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: He help most organizations, I'm sure as a rotational defensive end.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: But I just think it's quite funny that he basically
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: is nearly if he if he were to sign for
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: the Jags, then he should sign for the Colts the
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: year after, just so he's played for every AFC.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Cloudy. Wow. Interesting. Yeah, I think none of those most realistic.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Out of all of those, who would you say.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: I would say Nasty Harris, But I don't even think
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that the Jags necessarily even need him. It was just
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: looking at look, is there a free agent running back
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: right now that could potentially make an impact in the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: specifically in the twenty twenty sixth season, who won't cost
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of money and it won't be a you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: you're not investing very much. But is only really upside
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: with it? And I thought that it could be Nagie Harris.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think Bobby. I'm not sure if Bobby Wagner,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he would join if there's a
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: role for him in Jacksonville. But at the same time,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and Clowney's just I don't know. Clowney might sign somewhere
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: September one, to be honest with you, you know, Russell Wilson, Yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Rees Farguson is like whoever's married to a pop star
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: like that will get him down, get him down, because
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: we know that the music is going to be good.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: You know, we can get Missy Elliott to do the
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: collaboration with Sierra at halftime and it will be fantastic,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you know, fantastic. I did not expect to be speaking
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: so much about Missy Elliott and Sierra today until talk
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: but you know, all right, rees, well, good, look, I
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: guess the next time we're going to be doing a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: podcast is we're going to be having a big, big
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: discussion about the jokes opponents, not only Wembley, but of
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: course it's Spurs. Well, so that's all because you know what,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the NFL season, it rolls on and in the off
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: season there's still always so much to talk about.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: So I'm very excited.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: In the next few weeks we're going to be finding more,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you know, about those opposition teams.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see. Let's let's see if our picks,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: where we had our conspiracy theories on who we think
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: is going to be the other team come true, and.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Say what if they are true? Genuinely, we knew nothing.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Genuinely we do.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Speak for yourself again, I'm mon, mom.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: By with James Gladstone in the background. You and James
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: just what's happened?
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Jay Dog?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: All right, Race, I'll catch you tail end of May.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: We can be talking more things, Jags. This has been
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a shooting sharp production for Jacksonville, Jaguar's UK and Ireland
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: in partnership with Gallagher.
