• 0:06
  Speaker 1: we get started with the podcast, I have to let
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you know that I will be setting sail on the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: One Voyage cruise October 26th through November 1st.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited about this.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Sailing out of Miami on Virgin Voyage's Resilient Lady.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: This is not your average cruise.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We're taking six days at sea, Bahamas, and Bimini in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a lineup stacked with artists like T.I., Rick Ross, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more, and a portion of every cabin
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: son's scholarships for hbcu students so it's definitely a party
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with a purpose on the cruise i'll be hosting two
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: live episodes of two personal and the daily play running
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: sports watch parties and throwing my famous halloween party at
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: sea so if sounds like a good time to you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: go to one voyage cruise.com and use the code joy
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and let's sail So Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a date set, but they aren't in a hurry.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: The fight is happening finally, maybe a bit late, but
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it is happening.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Alexander Yusik might be the champion, but the two biggest
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: names in heavyweight boxing are still Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Joshua was the first to call for.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The fight in 2015 after Fury beat Vladimir Klitschko for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the title.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So more than a decade later, which I.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Do not love, Fury called for Joshua and April that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: led for the fight that will be December 11th in Cardiff, Wales,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: an 80,000 seat principality stadium.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Has a retractable roof. You know how I feel about
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: retractable roofs.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: And Joshua demanded a UK site, even though the promoters,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Ring Magazine and Zufa Boxing wanted the fight to be
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in the U.S.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Fury losses title.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And the rematch to Usyk in 2024, but he has
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: two wins in April and July, and Joshua just had
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: his first fight after recovering from that awful car crash
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that killed two of his close friends in December. Christian
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Pranga nearly shocked the world, knocking Joshua down twice in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the first round before AJ knocked, I think Joshua knocked
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Pranga out and nearly out of the ring in the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: second round. There's going to be years of drama being
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: poured into this fight. I'm happy to finally watch it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So it'll be a nice early Christmas gift in the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: second week of December. I love a big heavyweight matchup
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: with a story, with a saga leading up to it. Again,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like when fights take over a decade. The
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: level of fight that you're going to get is not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the same. The level of athleticism, the wear and tear.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Anthony Joshua had an incredibly bad accident.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Joshua is 36 and Fury is 38. So obviously a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: little more seasoned than we would have liked to see
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: them when they would have fought 10 years ago. They
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: have a combined 73 professional fights between them. But these
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: two are big names and special characters in the sport.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So I will be interested to see what the fight
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: looks like. And hopefully we get an actual good battle,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: despite the fact that it is 10 years late. Switching
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: back to football, the Commanders lost Jaden Daniels to that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: reoccurring left elbow injury just before halftime on Sunday. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Daniels fell to the ground as the second quarter ended.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The broadcast made it appear, or it looked like. The
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: teammates left him. His teammates left him on the field
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to head into the locker room. And the team has
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: officially disputed that perception. He said it's BS what people
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: are saying, the left tackle Brandon Coleman. Jay's our guy
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: and he's been our guy. There's no malice behind it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We stayed on the field and once they got situated
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and did what they had to do, we checked on him. Dan,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn, told most players to go into the locker room.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It's tough to see something like that. You see the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: whole starting line out there, a bunch of receivers, a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: bunch of defensive guys. Dan Quinn, head coach, said when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the half is over, the referees are saying, I can't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: delay the half. They can't stay on the field. And
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the players were like, we want to stay. So it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: just the opposite of that. The guys were gutted. They
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: love this guy. So halftime was hard and emotional in
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that space. First of all, I, I think it's important
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that context be laid out here. And I'm glad that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they spoke about this because this is how narratives are
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: spun that guys aren't good locker room guys and that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: they're not good leaders and they're not well liked within
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the organization because something like this on the broadcast or
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: people taking video from in the stadium can make it
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: look like guys don't care and they have to go inside.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: They have to go into the locker room for halftime.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's when the injury happened. It's a very easy, simple explanation.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think that it's anything to overdramatize. I don't
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: think that it's anything to look into. People have lots
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of different opinions about Jaden Daniels, about quarterbacks in the league,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about what and how you're supposed to behave. as teammates.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It's not even, to me, it's really like a non-story.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: They checked on him. An NFL halftime only lasts 13 minutes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: One player said that Quinn told the players to return
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to the locker room.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Another player who was on the sidelines said an official
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: told him they only had eight more minutes, so they
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: better head inside. And listen, that's just when the injury happens.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: They will hold up a game if there's an injury
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: on the field but it's halftime and they can't delay
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the halftime so it is what it is i don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: think it's a big story i don't think it really
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: matters i think these are the type of things that
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: really spiral for no reason so i'm glad that they
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: spoke up and said that it's bs the commanders are
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: in a tough spot without jayden daniels their next game
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is seattle Indy in London, and then the.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: New York Giants.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So things are getting interesting for all of these teams
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that are dealing with these major injuries.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: It's really unfortunate.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Finally, the 0-2 Chargers need a win. Those aren't easy
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to come by in Buffalo. Head coach Jim Harbaugh is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a proven winner, but something is not clicking for this group.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's very obvious, and the conversation is really starting to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: heat up because the expectations have always been high for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. The conversations have always been tense around Justin Herbert,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and He has not delivered in the postseason, and they're
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: having a really rough start to the season. He's in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his seventh year, and he said, I think that happens regardless.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think our team is so close, so I don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: think there's a lack of vocal leadership at all.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stop right there and say it's very present.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: We've got great leadership on the team.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I trust those guys in the locker room, so I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: don't think anyone is panicked or worried because that's not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: going to do us any good. We're moving on to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the next play and understanding how close we are. We've
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: made mistakes.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: How do we fix them? How do we move on?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: They need a win this week, and they've looked awful
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this season.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: 15 accepted penalties for 109 yards in two games. They've
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: given away possession five times in two games. Drops, operational issues.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel's offense is not working here. Only the Dolphins, Steelers,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and Falcons are scoring less points per game so far
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The Steelers being in that bunch was crazy. It's not
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: much better on defense.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They're giving up the fourth most pass yards per game
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and they're heading into a matchup with Josh Allen. It's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: going to get very, very tough if they have an
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: 0-3 start to the season.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's really hard to overcome that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: We've had this conversation about the Bengals as of recent
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: many times because they have had slow starts to the season.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Things get weird. You get injuries along the way. There
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: are teams that are going to ascend. without notice, it's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: really important that they get this win and it's going
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to be really tough to come by. Now, if they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: do happen to get this win against Buffalo, I think
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that that will be a very important point for what's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: happening with the Chargers right now. And it could be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the momentum switch that could put them in the mode
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to go and make a run.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It's really that serious that early in the season.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: If you are a team that is supposed to be
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: competing in the postseason and competing for a championship, an
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: 0-3 start is not possible. It's essentially you're up against
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: it for the rest of the season.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So this is, to me, one of the games, if
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: not the.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Game of the weekend, because the stakes for the Chargers
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: are already that high. Thanks so much for joining me.
