Speaker 1: When I woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous.
0:03
Speaker 1: We're on a Cincinnati it's my team, it's my quarterbit.
0:07
Speaker 1: They are who we thought they were, and we got
0:10
Speaker 1: about you play to win the gate. They want you
0:14
Speaker 1: to cook the dinner. At least they ought to let
0:16
Speaker 1: your shout for some of the grocery. And on the
0:17
Speaker 1: way up, we're gonna buy a kneecap ball. You get
0:19
Speaker 1: me playoffs. I'm just here so I won't get fine.
0:23
Speaker 1: How could he not be romantic about football? Who Welcome
0:27
Speaker 1: to another week bench with Bonetta. We are getting closer
0:31
Speaker 1: to football, baby. I feel like every single week I
0:34
Speaker 1: start the same way I start the show by saying
0:37
Speaker 1: we're getting closer to the ball. But now more than ever,
0:39
Speaker 1: it's true because we're closer about ball. Full disclosure. I
0:43
Speaker 1: had a tuna salad sandwich in a cold brew right
0:47
Speaker 1: before this. Your girl is feeling terrible, speaking of feelings,
0:52
Speaker 1: terrible moment. And I went out this weekend, um just
0:55
Speaker 1: a little fun cruise cruise on the town, and there
0:59
Speaker 1: was somebody at the bar, Graver, I want your opinion
1:01
Speaker 1: on this. There was somebody at the bar that was
1:03
Speaker 1: doodling photos of people on post its like and just
1:07
Speaker 1: handing that like caricature. You see those tiktoks if people
1:10
Speaker 1: getting their caricatures drawn, and they're just like highlight every
1:13
Speaker 1: single feature in like the most ridiculous way. And he
1:15
Speaker 1: was doing it to everybody at the bar and just
1:17
Speaker 1: handing them. He's like, rude ass post sits. How would
1:22
Speaker 1: you react to that? I thought I looked good in mind, Yeah, sure,
1:27
Speaker 1: just like pretend to be like it was more so
1:29
Speaker 1: the other people that we were with, their their photos
1:31
Speaker 1: were pretty brutal, just like a highlighted every single you know,
1:35
Speaker 1: funny trait about them. I think the only thing you
1:37
Speaker 1: can do is say like, oh, thanks, this is so cool.
1:41
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, and then walk away as fast as
1:43
Speaker 1: you can. Huh, so you you liked yours? Did you
1:45
Speaker 1: keep yours? Yeah? H it's on my fridge. Oh that's nice. Yeah, Okay,
1:49
Speaker 1: so maybe I'm out of my mind. Back to me
1:51
Speaker 1: feeling terrible after eating a tuna salatan, which in coffee
1:54
Speaker 1: not a good idea. But I am so excited for
1:56
Speaker 1: the show today. We've got so much to talk about.
1:59
Speaker 1: As we are in closer, you would think that we'd
2:01
Speaker 1: have like more like actual like football things to talk about.
2:03
Speaker 1: But no, this week everyone was talking about is Tom
2:07
Speaker 1: Brady on the Mass Singer? And I think of the answers. No, Honestly, guys,
2:12
Speaker 1: this has been really bumming me out this week. So
2:16
Speaker 1: everyone he's not at training camps, not shown up with
2:20
Speaker 1: the Bucks this summer. Everyone's like, what's going on? Lots
2:24
Speaker 1: of rumors kind of being out there. The latest one,
2:28
Speaker 1: I think last week was that he was on Mass Singer.
2:30
Speaker 1: Why would Tom Brady ever do Mass Singer? There was
2:33
Speaker 1: a Reddit thread someone put together that just laid it
2:36
Speaker 1: all out and it made sense from the standpoint of
2:39
Speaker 1: this argument. You know, he retired back in what March
2:41
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, so like perhaps during that retirement period,
2:45
Speaker 1: he makes a deal with Fox and then he's like, oh,
2:51
Speaker 1: I don't have an obligation during football season anymore, so
2:53
Speaker 1: in August I could come on the Mass Singer and
2:55
Speaker 1: then he's already signed up for that, so he doesn't
2:56
Speaker 1: want to back out because he want to lose the
2:58
Speaker 1: whole Giant Fox deal and Joe bub do you imagine
3:01
Speaker 1: if he lost the Giant Boxing because he wouldn't do
3:04
Speaker 1: Mass Singer. I actually love that is crazy storyline. Joe
3:07
Speaker 1: Buck is a Fox announcer. He did the Mess Singer
3:09
Speaker 1: a little while ago. The the taping dates that like
3:11
Speaker 1: they have audience that you can sign up to be
3:13
Speaker 1: in the audience, like the dates, you are pretty deep
3:20
Speaker 1: in the weeds on this one. I bought heavily into
3:22
Speaker 1: the theory that's do we think that Tom Brady has
3:24
Speaker 1: Here's my Here's where I take issue with the Mass Singer.
3:27
Speaker 1: They auto tune everyone's voice, do they not? So it's like,
3:30
Speaker 1: how am I really supposed to know whose voice? Also?
3:35
Speaker 1: I love that these people are like, oh, what's that?
3:38
Speaker 1: What's that voice? Oh? My god? Is that Taye Diggs?
3:41
Speaker 1: And he would know what Taye Diggs sounds like, singing
3:44
Speaker 1: like Christina Aguilera songs or something. It's the most ridiculous show.
3:48
Speaker 1: I don't know why people buy into this. Don't they
3:50
Speaker 1: give him clues though, Like this person is an athlete?
3:53
Speaker 1: I guess so. But it's like, like, okay, sorry, y'all
3:58
Speaker 1: are cowards. Don't auto tune your voice? Then I'm in?
4:01
Speaker 1: Then I am in. Went on the show and like
4:04
Speaker 1: te Paying is famous for the auto tune voice right,
4:06
Speaker 1: and sang without auto tune that's interesting voice, an interesting storyline,
4:11
Speaker 1: but everybody else it's like show me. Like if Tom
4:15
Speaker 1: Brady was on the Mass Singer and I knew that
4:16
Speaker 1: there was no auto tune, oh good lord, I would
4:18
Speaker 1: be sitting in front of my television on premier day
4:21
Speaker 1: like I want to see I want to hear that voice.
4:24
Speaker 1: Do you guys think he's going to be a good singer?
4:25
Speaker 1: He's so good at everything. No, right, I don't think so.
4:28
Speaker 1: He probably isn't, but he can't. He can't have that.
4:31
Speaker 1: He's been denying that he's on the Mass Singer. Meanwhile,
4:34
Speaker 1: like Fox isn't saying anything concrete, but they're definitely like
4:37
Speaker 1: hinting like he might be on the Mass Singer, which
4:39
Speaker 1: of course they're going to do because they want everyone
4:41
Speaker 1: to tune in. Okay, well, I don't think he's on
4:43
Speaker 1: the Mass Singer. So he posted these photos as when
4:46
Speaker 1: he did get back with the box and it's like
4:49
Speaker 1: I think the captain was like, man, I've missed my guys,
4:51
Speaker 1: like so happy to be back, and it's all these
4:53
Speaker 1: photos of his teammates like smiling, so happy, And then
4:57
Speaker 1: if you look at the pictures of Tom, he looks
5:00
Speaker 1: like something's happened. Something has happened, And I know Mohan.
5:05
Speaker 1: Mohan's anti this topic. I feel like him and Giselle
5:09
Speaker 1: are done. I think that they've broken up. I think
5:13
Speaker 1: that they went there. It was like reported that they
5:15
Speaker 1: went to the Bahamas or some like secret little location
5:18
Speaker 1: and they were away. And I'm listening. I don't mean
5:21
Speaker 1: to talk about people's dirty business. I don't know that's
5:24
Speaker 1: exactly what you're spilled tea. But Tom Brady, he signed
5:27
Speaker 1: up for a life of people spilling his tea. I think. Listen,
5:31
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to put myself in Giselle's shoes. Okay,
5:34
Speaker 1: don't don't raise your eyebrows of it. Just listen. I'm
5:36
Speaker 1: just trying to put myself in Gaisselle's shoes. You have
5:39
Speaker 1: this incredibly talented husband who has gone on to win
5:43
Speaker 1: every single thing in his life. Okay, then he leaves
5:47
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He wants to prove to himself for whatever reason.
5:50
Speaker 1: I can do this without Bill. I can do this
5:52
Speaker 1: on my own whatever. Okay, he does that, brand new city,
5:55
Speaker 1: brand new team, incredible. We're like, oh wow, what else
5:59
Speaker 1: does this guy need? He retires, great, go be with Giselle,
6:03
Speaker 1: go be with your family, Go be with the millions
6:05
Speaker 1: of other dollars that you make from all these other things.
6:10
Speaker 1: And then he comes back like if I was Giselle,
6:13
Speaker 1: I'd be like, what more do you need? Why can't
6:16
Speaker 1: you just be my tom My Tommy tom And that's
6:23
Speaker 1: what I think is going on the um the memes
6:26
Speaker 1: of him on retiring and it's it was like it's
6:29
Speaker 1: like parents, what they're annoying kids and it's like Tom
6:31
Speaker 1: Brady one week kids maybe they maybe when he retired,
6:36
Speaker 1: he's like, I want to spend time with my family,
6:38
Speaker 1: Like the kids are at an age where I want
6:40
Speaker 1: to spend time with them. They had this vacation plan
6:42
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas, and then he came back hilarious and
6:45
Speaker 1: then he's like, oh, I need to take I promised
6:47
Speaker 1: my family a vacation at this time. I'm gonna do it.
6:49
Speaker 1: So you think absolutely nothing's wrong, business as usual. Yeah,
6:52
Speaker 1: they're gonna go about their their year and their their lives. Graver.
6:55
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on this or is that this
6:59
Speaker 1: is us weekly? This is the last weekly podcast? Now.
7:01
Speaker 1: I like where you're coming from. Like, Giselle's mad that
7:03
Speaker 1: he said he would retire and now he's backplaying football again.
7:06
Speaker 1: But I just think because Tom Brady's life is so public,
7:09
Speaker 1: like you said at the beginning of this, I think
7:13
Speaker 1: we would know already if this was the case. Somebody
7:15
Speaker 1: would have I mean, they had the report that he
7:17
Speaker 1: was retiring before he could announce it out there. But
7:20
Speaker 1: I googled it and there are reports. I had somebody
7:24
Speaker 1: message me about this this week saying that this was
7:27
Speaker 1: perhaps the case, and we were all like, and then
7:30
Speaker 1: I just looked it up, like an hour before we
7:32
Speaker 1: started recording. I was like, is this like out there?
7:34
Speaker 1: And it is. There's multiple reports that they are getting
7:38
Speaker 1: split up. I'm sure there are reports of him like
7:40
Speaker 1: maybe he went to outer space. Okay, moahawan wow. But listen,
7:48
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be the case. I want
7:50
Speaker 1: them to live happily ever after. I'm just saying this
7:52
Speaker 1: might be Listen, we're journalists. We're gotta report the news.
7:55
Speaker 1: We gotta report the news, and this is what the
7:57
Speaker 1: news is. It's on our radar. It's on our radar.
8:00
Speaker 1: So Tom jis Ali. Hope you're healing. I hope that
8:03
Speaker 1: you guys can find love again in the Bahamas Um.
8:06
Speaker 1: But I mean, whatever has happened, it's got it. We'll
8:09
Speaker 1: find out. We always find out. We always find out.
8:13
Speaker 1: The number one NFL gossip show. Gossip is what we have. Um, okay,
8:20
Speaker 1: so that's that's that. And then also some more gossip.
8:23
Speaker 1: They came out, this is the story that Mohun wanted
8:25
Speaker 1: to lead with because he thought it was more interesting
8:27
Speaker 1: than Tom and she is all getting divorced. Be guess what,
8:28
Speaker 1: it's not your podcast. It came out this week that
8:34
Speaker 1: Dana White was trying to get Brady and Grunk to
8:37
Speaker 1: the Raiders when Brady left the Patriots. See, I just
8:42
Speaker 1: feel like this is old news. We already knew that
8:44
Speaker 1: the Raiders were on Brady's radar because he had already
8:48
Speaker 1: said that thing like uh oh yeah, they're sticking with
8:52
Speaker 1: this bleeping guy. We already knew those Derek Carr didn't
8:55
Speaker 1: what we did that. I feel like most people thought
8:59
Speaker 1: it was Jimmy Garoppolo. I remember seeing reports that it
9:03
Speaker 1: was Derek Carr. You may be right, stick with your guns,
9:09
Speaker 1: but think about how crazy that would have been, knowing
9:12
Speaker 1: what the Raiders went through last year, having Brady there
9:15
Speaker 1: trying to deal with all that stuff without so apparently
9:18
Speaker 1: it was down to John Gordon, and John was just like,
9:21
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, So that's why they
9:22
Speaker 1: didn't do it. It's part about that whole conversation was
9:25
Speaker 1: when Gronk was like, I'm glad it didn't go through,
9:27
Speaker 1: and somebody he was sitting with on that panel was like, oh, really,
9:31
Speaker 1: Like what do you mean really? He won a Super Bowl? Also,
9:37
Speaker 1: living in Vegas, doesn't I don't know if I want
9:40
Speaker 1: to experience that as like a viewer, you know, like
9:43
Speaker 1: Gronks Beat, you know how they have like a like
9:46
Speaker 1: a club at the stadium there, it would be Gronk.
9:49
Speaker 1: They would just turn into Gronks Beach for sure. So
9:52
Speaker 1: I'm not into that. So nice try mohamma, that's not
9:55
Speaker 1: what's leading the show, you know what. I also want
9:57
Speaker 1: to talk about Baker Mayfield. He was named the starter
10:02
Speaker 1: for the Panthers this week and Panthers a top three
10:05
Speaker 1: bench bachelor that team who he is going to be
10:08
Speaker 1: playing in the opener against the Cleveland Browns um and
10:12
Speaker 1: he said that this week it's gonna mean something to him.
10:15
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, however, doesn't want to add fuel to the fire.
10:18
Speaker 1: Do you think he's just trying to be like down,
10:20
Speaker 1: just like stop just stop talking about this. Just let's
10:22
Speaker 1: just like because he knows that they're gonna lose. Yeah,
10:24
Speaker 1: And then Stefanski was asked about it and he and
10:27
Speaker 1: he said, I'm still I'm focused on Week three the preseason.
10:30
Speaker 1: We'll get to that week one. I was working out
10:33
Speaker 1: yesterday as I do, dude, and I was thinking about
10:35
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefansky because I met him at the combine and
10:39
Speaker 1: I was so freaking stoked. He was so nice. He
10:44
Speaker 1: was wearing a little Patagon youth. He was number one
10:48
Speaker 1: in my head coach attractiveness rankings. You did I remember
10:52
Speaker 1: you telling us that, and you know we're shut on you.
10:54
Speaker 1: Good on you a graver that you did that. Um,
10:58
Speaker 1: but he was so lovely and I remember posting a
11:00
Speaker 1: photo with him and I was like, guys, and everyone's
11:03
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, we're so happy for you because you
11:05
Speaker 1: got to meet him. And then literally week later I'd
11:08
Speaker 1: delete it due diligence. But I was thinking about him
11:12
Speaker 1: because like, he had such an incredible season, like he's
11:16
Speaker 1: had some success with this team, and he seems like
11:20
Speaker 1: a really nice guy. Obviously I don't know him personally,
11:23
Speaker 1: he seems like a really nice guy. Now he's just
11:25
Speaker 1: like stuck with this mess. Careful because it seemed like
11:29
Speaker 1: you didn't love Baker and then he chose Yeah. But
11:33
Speaker 1: from what I'm hearing, he's not loving the situationally, he's yeah,
11:36
Speaker 1: well that's what I'm saying. He ended up with something worse.
11:38
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, YOI So Baker is gonna be playing Game one.
11:41
Speaker 1: I am so excited for this game. I'm already like
11:43
Speaker 1: planning the spread. Like in my mind, I'm already like, Okay,
11:46
Speaker 1: I'm going to town on the food. This is gonna
11:48
Speaker 1: be like the od This is gonna this is my
11:50
Speaker 1: super Bowl. This is my super Bowl Week one Panthers
11:54
Speaker 1: Brown's Baker starting. This is massipa bow against Jacobe. Come on,
12:01
Speaker 1: Baker is a fun fact. He is the tenth highest
12:04
Speaker 1: jersey so in the NFL for the Panthers. Yeah, well
12:07
Speaker 1: his Panthers jersey. You know, the people are buying in.
12:12
Speaker 1: I love that. The last thing I want to talk
12:13
Speaker 1: about before we go to the break, Kyler Murray. Guys,
12:16
Speaker 1: he keeps on calling these plays for preseason game. What
12:18
Speaker 1: do we think this is about? Is this a um
12:22
Speaker 1: we want to save Kyler's you know image, but it's
12:27
Speaker 1: not making Cliff look very good because I think this
12:29
Speaker 1: last game he had like many more points scored than
12:33
Speaker 1: when Cliff did calling the games. Yeah, so he let
12:36
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray call the second half and the Cardinals were
12:39
Speaker 1: down like what twenty one to three or twenty four
12:41
Speaker 1: to They were down a lot of points, and Kyler's
12:43
Speaker 1: took over play calling, and they like scored a bunch
12:46
Speaker 1: of plays. Points scored by Cardinals when plays were called
12:48
Speaker 1: by Kyler fourteen points scored by Cardinals when plays were
12:52
Speaker 1: called by Cliff. Three. Well, who's this benefit? What are
12:57
Speaker 1: we doing? You might be making one guy look better
12:59
Speaker 1: because you know, I was on a play, Like, what
13:01
Speaker 1: what are we doing? You're making the coach look bad? Now, Well,
13:04
Speaker 1: they talked about We talked about this on around the
13:06
Speaker 1: NFL on Monday, just wow, promoting another as usual. I
13:12
Speaker 1: just don't want to I don't want to regurgitate these
13:15
Speaker 1: takes as if they're my own. So this is what
13:17
Speaker 1: Greg and Mark were saying about this is that like, yeah,
13:20
Speaker 1: it does, like maybe it makes Cliff look kind of
13:23
Speaker 1: bad in the sense that he's like worse than Kyler butt.
13:26
Speaker 1: It's great publicity for Kyler, and it kind of like
13:30
Speaker 1: pushes down the previous story about oh, he doesn't study
13:33
Speaker 1: enough O blah blah blah. But then the guys also
13:35
Speaker 1: said he's probably just calling the same plays that he
13:38
Speaker 1: calls in Madden on the field and it's working for
13:41
Speaker 1: him there. I think it's a genius move by a PR.
13:44
Speaker 1: Genius PR moved by the Cardinals. I don't think so,
13:46
Speaker 1: because now it's like you could also look back on
13:48
Speaker 1: last season and blame Cliff for the way that things happen,
13:51
Speaker 1: like ended that game against the Rams that I always
13:54
Speaker 1: talked about it was atrocious. Do not play whose house?
13:57
Speaker 1: Do not play whose house? Hands where I can see him?
14:02
Speaker 1: But now the quarterback is capable he knows the playbook,
14:07
Speaker 1: because that was the whole reason that the homer clause
14:09
Speaker 1: and the backlash from that. I don't know, guys, I'd
14:11
Speaker 1: be curious. Let let us know on the tweets. O God,
14:18
Speaker 1: if you want this tuna sandwich to come back out
14:21
Speaker 1: onto this table, Nope, play that again. Play that all
14:24
Speaker 1: day long epic social clip. Um listen, Rams, I love
14:27
Speaker 1: you gotta go. Am I the only one that dislikes it.
14:34
Speaker 1: I just haven't experience as much as you you've not
14:37
Speaker 1: been to a Rams game. No, oh, we gotta get
14:40
Speaker 1: that this year. We gotta. We gotta get Moan experiencing
14:42
Speaker 1: Whose House Rams House. The only bad part about it
14:44
Speaker 1: to me is when the Rams are losing at home.
14:47
Speaker 1: And the only Rams game I went to last year
14:49
Speaker 1: besides the Super Bowl was the Titans at Rams, and
14:52
Speaker 1: the Titans dominated that game, and they're like trying to
14:54
Speaker 1: get the crowd amped up by playing whose House And
14:57
Speaker 1: like all the Titans fans in the stadium were then
14:59
Speaker 1: respond bonding today because they were winning by So that's funny,
15:03
Speaker 1: that's great. Um, Listen, I'm not I'm not going to
15:05
Speaker 1: change my mind about Kyler because he's calling plays. I'm
15:09
Speaker 1: gonna change my mind because he shows up to work
15:11
Speaker 1: every day and he's an adult, and he wins football
15:13
Speaker 1: games and he plays absolutely bonkers this year. Anything else,
15:17
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about all the offseason crap that we
15:20
Speaker 1: just went through. But my last analogy is if I
15:23
Speaker 1: play Steph Curry and Pig and I and I and
15:27
Speaker 1: I and I get a letter on him. Okay, that
15:29
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm better at basketball than Steph Curry. I
15:31
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it does. So in this Kyler, in
15:34
Speaker 1: this Kyler situation, just because he scored more points, why
15:36
Speaker 1: don't you go with pig and not horse? I get
15:42
Speaker 1: bored easily. So you just do three letters and then
15:44
Speaker 1: you give up and walk away, and then you can
15:46
Speaker 1: play best out of three or best out of five,
15:48
Speaker 1: depending on how it goes. I'm more of a horse guy. Interesting.
15:51
Speaker 1: All right, we've got more football. Okay, there's a crazy
15:54
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan story that just came out, so we are
15:56
Speaker 1: going to be talking about that after the breakdoll, go aw,
16:00
Speaker 1: you're a worse guy based all right, Lots going on
16:08
Speaker 1: this week. This literally just broke right before we started recording,
16:12
Speaker 1: and I got so psyched. Rex Ryan is gonna be
16:16
Speaker 1: on Amazing Race, which this show gives me so much anxiety,
16:21
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing worse than like having to be somewhere
16:23
Speaker 1: at a specific time. You're racing on it against all
16:25
Speaker 1: these people and it's like a halfway across the world,
16:27
Speaker 1: Like what if my Blaine gets delayed? No, thank you,
16:29
Speaker 1: I would not sign up for this show. But who is? Okay,
16:32
Speaker 1: So Rex, Amazing Race. You have to have a buddy
16:34
Speaker 1: with you. You have to have a partner to go
16:36
Speaker 1: on this journey with. Who is his partner? We need?
16:39
Speaker 1: This is interesting. His name is Tim Man. He's one
16:42
Speaker 1: of his golf buddies. Okay, who's also a probation officer.
16:46
Speaker 1: So this is confusing to me. It's not his probation.
16:49
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't know. Maybe there's more about Rex Ryan
16:51
Speaker 1: that we're doing. Then we don't know that we're gonna
16:53
Speaker 1: learn an amazing race. Okay, Tim Man, and he is
16:57
Speaker 1: a probation officer and also a golf buddy. Okay. Cannot
17:00
Speaker 1: wait to meet Rex Ryan's friends. I'm sure they are
17:02
Speaker 1: very colorful. But this made me think of something I
17:07
Speaker 1: would like to publicly announce that I think that I
17:10
Speaker 1: could win Survivor. I think that I could win a
17:13
Speaker 1: season of Survivor. Wow. Yeah, I think Mohan would not
17:19
Speaker 1: win and perhaps would embarrass himself on live television, like
17:22
Speaker 1: maybe even cry because he misses his mom. Oh, but
17:28
Speaker 1: you would go far, very far, because you are a
17:31
Speaker 1: schemer and a scammer and you lie, but but in
17:36
Speaker 1: the right ways. Horrible you play, you play a little bit,
17:40
Speaker 1: you play the victim like you lie about like what's
17:42
Speaker 1: going on? Really, this isn't a chicken and egg. Listen,
17:47
Speaker 1: let me say something really nice about Mohun. Mohan is
17:49
Speaker 1: very very smart and intelligent and knows what's going on
17:52
Speaker 1: with everyone at all times. But he doesn't let you
17:54
Speaker 1: know that. He plays it cool and plays dumb until
17:57
Speaker 1: you actually know him. That's why, that's why you would
18:02
Speaker 1: go far. Rachel, would you be like a really good
18:05
Speaker 1: social game or would you be a challenge beast or like,
18:07
Speaker 1: what's your strategy? Okay, So I'm a little bit of
18:09
Speaker 1: a gossip queen. Okay, so that would be that would
18:12
Speaker 1: That's my achilles heel is that I would get caught
18:16
Speaker 1: being the gossip queen, because well, if we make an alliance.
18:20
Speaker 1: If we make an alliance, I'll let you know who
18:22
Speaker 1: to say what to and then I'll keep you safe
18:25
Speaker 1: and then you help me out with the challengers. Um.
18:27
Speaker 1: I actually think all of us could go far. I
18:29
Speaker 1: would play the social game. I would be everybody's friend. Um.
18:32
Speaker 1: I think that I've watched Survivor enough that I know
18:35
Speaker 1: how the game is played. Graver would go far because
18:38
Speaker 1: he's just such a nice person and people like I
18:42
Speaker 1: would have a hard time kicking you off. Like my
18:44
Speaker 1: strategy would be to be friends with everybody, but sometimes
18:47
Speaker 1: you can get caught like playing both sides. So yeah,
18:50
Speaker 1: I mean people aren't gonna like that, right, Hold on,
18:53
Speaker 1: time out for a second. Let's just rewind. I would
18:56
Speaker 1: go far because I'm a schemer, and Justin would go
18:58
Speaker 1: far because he's a nice guy. I just want to
19:00
Speaker 1: make sure everyone. Sorry, where's the lie? Nice guys finished last?
19:05
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go far, sorry, lie, No, I really think
19:08
Speaker 1: that eat would. I think people would have a hard
19:09
Speaker 1: time putting out your candle and looking you in the ox.
19:11
Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh, Graver's a nice guy. Up um,
19:16
Speaker 1: But out of all three of us, I think egwin.
19:19
Speaker 1: And that's just the truth. I think we would be
19:21
Speaker 1: a good, amazing race team. I how would you do
19:24
Speaker 1: with like the weather and stuff like that? The rain
19:26
Speaker 1: can building it? Could you build a shelter? Yeah? Could
19:29
Speaker 1: you catch a fish? Probably not. That's what you gotta eat.
19:34
Speaker 1: You're gonna eat like rice and stuff, and that's it.
19:37
Speaker 1: I could do it. And I just I just I
19:39
Speaker 1: love the transformations, like people are just jacked at the
19:42
Speaker 1: end of it. I love that we went from an
19:45
Speaker 1: amazing race conversation and we're just talking about Survivor well,
19:48
Speaker 1: because I wanted to use it as an excuse to
19:50
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we've got some producers on Survivor
19:52
Speaker 1: that love bench with Bananna. Here's my chance. I'd love
19:55
Speaker 1: to be. I know someone who used to work in
19:57
Speaker 1: the travel as a travel coordinator for Survivor. Oh wow,
20:01
Speaker 1: that's interesting. She would go to Fiji twice a year,
20:03
Speaker 1: and like, you know, that sounds fun. I kind of
20:06
Speaker 1: want to know the background on like how Survivor is
20:08
Speaker 1: actually made, Like they can be in some pretty dicey
20:11
Speaker 1: situations like how how are there like no tigers popping
20:15
Speaker 1: out to like sniff around, you know, which is very interesting.
20:18
Speaker 1: It's all fake. It's like lost. Um. I don't think
20:20
Speaker 1: Survivors fake though. I think Survivor of all the reality shows, Survivor,
20:25
Speaker 1: I mean now that they're like actually in danger of dying,
20:29
Speaker 1: but in terms of like how much the producers control,
20:31
Speaker 1: like the season narrative. Wow, I think Survivors want to
20:34
Speaker 1: just turn this into a Survivor. Let's let's turn this
20:37
Speaker 1: into an amazing race watch podcast and we're just gonna honestly,
20:41
Speaker 1: every week there's gonna be a Rex Grind update on
20:42
Speaker 1: an amazing race. We should do that. Um. I could
20:44
Speaker 1: not do amazing race though, because it gives me anxiety
20:46
Speaker 1: even thinking about it. So that is easily the best
20:49
Speaker 1: thing that I saw this week. I will be watching
20:51
Speaker 1: that absolutely. Um. Also, guys, Andrew Luck retired three years
20:56
Speaker 1: ago today. Isn't that insane? We love a mentally healthy
21:03
Speaker 1: king that is looking out for himself. That was such
21:06
Speaker 1: a sad day when he did that. And to think,
21:09
Speaker 1: like it's August twenty fourth three, Like, could you imagine
21:13
Speaker 1: like a starting court like that. It was just so
21:15
Speaker 1: crazy when he did that, And good for him. Look
21:18
Speaker 1: out for your mentals people, We always say that on
21:19
Speaker 1: this podcast. And then the last thing the crazy things
21:24
Speaker 1: that I heard this week, why does everyone keep on
21:25
Speaker 1: talking t about Patrick Mahomes, Like are we asking him
21:29
Speaker 1: to just absolutely ball out this year? Tyree Kill said
21:33
Speaker 1: that two is a more accurate quarterback than he is now.
21:35
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins is saying Rogers is a better quarter Like,
21:38
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers an incredible quarterback, But like, why
21:41
Speaker 1: why do people feel the need to like say these things.
21:45
Speaker 1: Patrick's Patrick's the kind of guy that's like, oh, google, Google,
21:49
Speaker 1: Google Coole, And then he's gonna go out and have
21:51
Speaker 1: like the craziest season than any of us have seen?
21:54
Speaker 1: Is this fantasy football advice from you? Draft Patrick Mahomes. Um,
21:58
Speaker 1: I guess so, isn't that like a given? People should
22:00
Speaker 1: just like have that tattooed on their head at this point. Um, okay, guys,
22:05
Speaker 1: we are coming down to the end of the um
22:10
Speaker 1: the rose. Shall we say? Three teams left? Oh I'm sad,
22:18
Speaker 1: but this is gonna be overde so many memories, so
22:22
Speaker 1: many connections made you know. Um, I know who it's
22:26
Speaker 1: gonna be today. I thought about it on my way in.
22:28
Speaker 1: I warned it. I made a list of pros and
22:31
Speaker 1: cons in my head, and unfortunately the cons outweigh the bros.
22:35
Speaker 1: With this team, Carolina Panthers, Baker Mayfield, I'm gonna let
22:42
Speaker 1: go of you. And this is a big moment on
22:45
Speaker 1: our show because as you all know, I love Baker
22:52
Speaker 1: like truly want nothing but the best for him. I'm
22:56
Speaker 1: probably gonna cry week one watching him thrive. I hope
23:00
Speaker 1: he looks healthy. I hope he looks great. But the
23:03
Speaker 1: problem is Baker's not. Um He's not like a Tom
23:08
Speaker 1: Brady like. I don't know if he's gonna be in
23:10
Speaker 1: Carolina forever, and Baker is the one that I'm rooting for.
23:14
Speaker 1: I absolutely know. I've been to Carolina once and it
23:17
Speaker 1: was too hot. Sorry it was too hot. Yeah, and
23:21
Speaker 1: there was a shark in the water. I feel like
23:23
Speaker 1: this is a good like that was a fun fling.
23:26
Speaker 1: But do you really see a future with them? I
23:28
Speaker 1: see a future with Baker, so I will be his fan.
23:32
Speaker 1: I will be a fan of his so maybe next season,
23:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. Made we do like a bench bachelor.
23:40
Speaker 1: I with like favorite players, but Baker's always gonna be
23:42
Speaker 1: my number one, so I will continue to support him.
23:45
Speaker 1: But Carolina is too hot and it's got sharks in
23:47
Speaker 1: the water and I didn't I haven't gone in the
23:49
Speaker 1: ocean since it was so scaring. Um, So there we go, guys,
23:53
Speaker 1: Bills and the Chargers are left. Let me know who
23:58
Speaker 1: you think is a better match. I'm from Canada, Buffalo Bills, Toronto.
24:04
Speaker 1: My personality, you know, I love taking jello shots and
24:07
Speaker 1: flying through tables baby that aren't maybe sometimes on fire.
24:11
Speaker 1: Um that's my vibe. But then the Los Angeles Chargers,
24:14
Speaker 1: it's kind of got the same thing that I loved
24:16
Speaker 1: about the Browns, the little brother mentality. They haven't won
24:19
Speaker 1: anything justin Herbert's my guy. So that is who is
24:24
Speaker 1: left standing. Any any any thoughts, any predictions of who's
24:29
Speaker 1: going to be I said week one it was gonna
24:32
Speaker 1: be the Chargers. Wow, what about your graver? Didn't you
24:34
Speaker 1: have somebody high up in the Chargers hitting you up
24:37
Speaker 1: early on? There was some messages exchange endorsement. I think
24:42
Speaker 1: there's pros to both. You know, if you hop on
24:44
Speaker 1: that Bill's bandwagon, now, some people are going to call
24:46
Speaker 1: you a bandwagoner, But in five years, nobody's gonna remember that.
24:49
Speaker 1: You might have a chance to root for the Super
24:51
Speaker 1: Bowl winner this year from the beginning of the season.
24:54
Speaker 1: They're everyone's favorite right now. Usually that doesn't work out. Yeah,
24:58
Speaker 1: and it wouldn't feel right if they did win. I
25:00
Speaker 1: feel like you would be like, not a real Let
25:02
Speaker 1: me tell you, I have not made up. I haven't
25:05
Speaker 1: made up my mind. I thought I thought my mind
25:07
Speaker 1: was made up. It is not. On the Charger side,
25:10
Speaker 1: It's like they're right next door to where we tape
25:11
Speaker 1: this podcast. There could be chances to go content on
25:17
Speaker 1: one tide. Both would be a fun team to root
25:21
Speaker 1: for this year. Because you got two exciting quarterbacks, matter
25:23
Speaker 1: which way you go, good coaching staffs. I don't know.
25:26
Speaker 1: It's a win win Okay, Um, well I guess are
25:30
