• 1:44
  Speaker 3: What are you laughing?
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: I'm laughing because of my quarterback rankings. Of course, I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: making this graphic using my friend George Paul Thomas to
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: help me do this.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Last week, did a real bad job. Although, took accountability,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: said you're right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I told you I double-checked these numbers, but I actually
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: lied to you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I didn't do it. I didn't do it the right way.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: They're wrong.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Now, the stats, I'm pretty sure, are pretty accurate. But
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: two of the players on here, they got the wrong team.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: So the icon. So I was just laughing at it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I just noticed two of them.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: George Paul Thomas.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: It's okay. It's all right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Outside of that, it's an absolutely perfect quarterback list, just
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: like every other quarterback list I've made this season.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: So let's get into it. The week three Flynn's quarterback list.
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: What just happened? I got some of them wrong.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: No, the wrong logo. Oh, the wrong logo. The stats
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: are probably perfect.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: I'm just going to make this for you next time.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: I told George Paul Thomas to quadruple check it, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: he did it. Well, you can't really make it for
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: me because I literally finished it like eight minutes ago.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: All right, Dave.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: Go ahead.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: You ready?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: All right, number 10.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: There he is. Wait.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Vikings quarterback, Kirk Cousins.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Vikings quarterback, Kirk Cousins.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins. He's a Vikings quarterback forever in our hearts,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: but now he plays for the Raiders.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Right now. I didn't catch that one. But guess what?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I believe, hopefully, he's 66 of 95.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: 742. Five touchdowns.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Two interceptions. Look, this guy's playing his ass off right now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: He has more than five touchdowns. I think he has
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: way more than that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Way more?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I think he has nine. Okay. Well, we got him wrong.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You're right. He does.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: 661 passing yards. I'm going to read it off of
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: my computer. It's just 742. That was when he was
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: with the Vikings, apparently.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Man, it's not real.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Guys, this is not my fault. This is already better
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: than us. This is not my fault.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Number 10.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you putting Kirk Cousins in there. Number 9.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Bryce Young.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: This guy is actually leading the NFL in passer yards now.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Tyler Shucks falling to number 2. 939 passing yards, 7 touchdowns,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: 2 interceptions. Now, I know they dropped a game. This
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: past weekend. But the guy's playing. Let's give him some flowers.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: Let's give him a little credit. He's had some struggles
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: in the past. But as of right now, Bryce Young
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: has played some really good football. He's got a little
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: bit more pop on his arm this year. Going through
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: the progressions really well. I think he's playing very well.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: I'm going to throw him in there at number nine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: All right, let's go to number eight.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Jared Goff, you were back in it last week.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: I kicked you out. I don't even remember why I
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: kicked you out, but I just did. I thought for Hayes,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: 802 yards. He's got eight touchdowns and zero interceptions this year.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad it's his Lions and not his Rams profile.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and then the stats are wrong, but I'm reading
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: the right stats. Eight touchdowns, zero interceptions, 116.1.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: QBR so far.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: So, like, this is a guy that is just, is
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: he like the epitome of consistency at.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: The quarterback position? He's the most undervalued quarterback in the NFL.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: And, like, maybe he hadn't had, like, the perfect game
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: all three weeks this season, but he's just one of
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: these guys that's going to throw for a lot of touchdowns,
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: not going to throw a lot of interceptions.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: He's, you know. He does what you're supposed to do.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: He does exactly what you're supposed to do. He makes
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: plays and doesn't give the ball away.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Even when, yeah, they did go down a lot when
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: Ben Johnson left them, but his play, his stats have
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: been the same.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But have they?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were not very good as a team
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, but.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: But he is playing really well. And I would say, like, I.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: I kicked him out of the top ten last week
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: just because I wanted to have some other guys in there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: You know, finding ten is pretty tough, and he didn't
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: have a sexy game in the second. But he's one
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: of these guys that's going to be consistent. I don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: think he'll ever be one, two, three on my list,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: but he's going to hover between nine, eight, and four.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: But why is that?
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: He's had, in the last three years in the NFL,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: he's got the most yards, the most touchdowns, and tied
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: for the most wins. Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Something about his face.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: Because he's Jerry Goff. Like we always talk about. It's
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: just something about him.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Maybe he's number three, but– Breaking in a top three
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: is pretty challenging.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Maybe you will. We'll see.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: They'd have to be really good. Like if their team,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: if they.
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: Go on a run where they're one of the top
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: win-loss teams in the NFL, then yeah, that's when you
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: can start breaking in to that top.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to number seven. Lamar Jackson.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: 745 yards passing, four touchdowns, one interception on the year.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: His stats are accurate.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: 166 yards rushing, three touchdowns, 107.4 QBR. Playing like Lamar
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: does right now. They are 2-1 on the season. When
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: he plays really well, he's very dangerous. He's another one
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: of these guys that has the potential to run off
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: a couple of weeks where I'm going to put him
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: in the top five.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: But he's also going to have where I'm thinking about
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: taking him out.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Of the top ten.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: So this week, he moves up a spot and number seven.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Number six.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: I forgot I have those now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: What?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Someone said, Daniel in the chat was like, can we
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: get a sound effect?
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: And I was like, oh wait, I forgot I have them.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: What's up, Trevor? Sunshine. Whatever you want to call him.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: He's playing. Playing very well. Look out. Duval. Seven touchdowns.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Two interceptions.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I got that too, I think.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: Duval.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: 107.8 QBR on the season.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Doing it with his arms, doing it with his feet,
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: kind of looking like Clemson Trevor a little bit. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: I expect him to what?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Nothing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: What?
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: No, I didn't mean to do that into the microphone.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Golly, I can't win for losing around here.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: No, no, the Trevor thing, I'm just, I'm good with
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Trevor there.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: I really didn't mean to do that into the mic.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Are y'all ready?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: This is the top five. This is like.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Creme de la creme.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: These are like future Hall of Famers. These are future
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Hall of Famers.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: These are guys that when they get word today that
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: they made my top five list, they might get a
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: patch for their letter jacket. You think they'll get a bonus?
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: They might get a bonus. They're going to start writing
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: this in a contract.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Number five. Sound effect. I told y'all I buck.
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: This pleases me.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: I buck so hard. Tyler Shuck. I don't even know
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: if these stats are right, but I'm going to read them.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: What?
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: We're even with my chest out, too. 912 yards passing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: Number two in the NFL in those yards. Second only
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: behind Bryce Young. Eight touchdowns, three interceptions. That's right, guys.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: Saints fans, we had a first quarter lead, albeit six
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: to three after the first quarter.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: It was still a lead. Yes, we fell apart a
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: little bit. A couple of mistakes.
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: It did waver my confidence in putting him in that
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: top five because of Some uncharacteristic mistakes from the Saints
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: They've been so good.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: But you know what?
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: They have a history now of being really good in
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: the second half. I'm going to give them a pass.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Tyler Shuck, you're playing really well. And again, as we
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: all know, saved his life. And that's why he's in
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the top five.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Number four.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. There he is.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Am I pandering to the crowd? Nope. This is how
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: I truly feel. He moves up three spots. Yes, they lost.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And I struggled with this one.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you did.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: This is the one I struggle with. One through three
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: were easy for me. Four was tough because I wanted
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: to put Burrow there. Tyler Shuck did not deserve it
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: because they did fall apart. He did not. I put
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: him at five, but I didn't deserve to be four.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: Didn't want to put T-Law there. Didn't want to put
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Lamar there. Who was I going to put three?
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Or who was I going to put four?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: You are at number four, even though you lost because
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: I wasn't putting Aaron Rodgers in the top ten and
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: he just beat you and had complications.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Or better stats than you did in this past game.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: So I struggle with that. But he's had a great season.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: They look healthy. They look good. They did lose this
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: past weekend, but they're two and one.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: He played well.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: He did play well. And I do feel like.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: They'll probably still end up at the top of that division.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: That is a terrible A.I.
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: I mean, these headshots are killing me.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Is Trevor the best?
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: Why is Jared Goff?
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Trevor's is pretty bad.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I get the hair, I guess.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Lamar's probably.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: I mean, Kirk Cousins playing for the Vikings and having
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Vikings stats is pretty bad.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: All right, let's go to number three.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: I don't really need to talk a lot about him,
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: but the guy is all the way back. Seven touchdowns,
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: two interceptions, 812 yards pass it. Also been doing it
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: with his feet a little bit. I don't know how
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: he did it. He's got just a freakish, he heals
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: like Wolverine, playing well. Look out, everybody, especially you, Josh Allen.
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: You better hope you don't face him in the playoffs
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: because you will lose to him again if you face him.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: They have put people around him. The guy is impressive.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: They are 3-0 on the season. Look out.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Mahomes is back, and unfortunately for a lot of people.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: They played the Rangers this week.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: The Chiefs are indeed back. That's an undefeated matchup right there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: 3-0 versus 3-0.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is. It's going to be fantastic. All right.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Y'all ready?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: A little shaky. Number two, Josh Allen. Wait. Okay, okay, okay. Wait.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I was about to say it. This guy's number one.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: All right, Josh Allen, five touchdowns, two interceptions on the year,
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: 786 passing. Two bumbles, two interceptions last week.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, he's incredible, right? I mean, he's got what?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: What does that say?
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Four rushing touchdowns on the year, five passing touchdowns, 145
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: yards rushing.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: He's almost accounted for 1,000 total yards so far.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: The dude's incredible. He's awesome. He's been number one all year.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: He falls one.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: Unless he has like two or three games that are awful,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: he's always going to be in the top three. He's
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: probably the best all-around player.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: In the NFL.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: But, yes, there is some ball security issues every now
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: and then.
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: But you take some of that bad, you take it
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: with the good as well. The Bills are rolling. They're 3-0. Again,
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: they will lose to the Chiefs if they end up
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: facing them in the playoffs.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: But, number two. And who does that put at number one? Mr.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Brock Purdy moves up from number three.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: To number one.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: The best quarterback in the NFL right now is Brock Purdy. Purdy, Mr.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: Irrelevant himself. The guy does not look the part at all,
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: whether physically, his arm, nothing. Doesn't look the part. You
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: look at him and be like, meh, that guy's pretty good.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Probably third team honorable mention in high school, whatever.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: What was that?
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: An ad in the middle.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: But Brock Purdy has played his ass off. Nine touchdowns.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: One interception, 789 yards passing, had another 76 yards on
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: the ground, two touchdowns, 133.1 passer rating, which is about
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: 25 points above the number two in passer rating throughout
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: the year. So the guy's playing incredible. And it's not
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: just because Kyle Shanahan is holding his hand and guiding
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: him and you know, developing these crazy plays where there's
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: wide open people everywhere. No, he's not doing that. He
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: is making incredible plays and people are highlighting it all
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: over social media.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen, you're awesome.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: You can do it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: You're a, you're a freak. You're an alien.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: You can do with your feet, but there's nobody playing
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: the quarterback position better than Brock Purdy. Watch out San Francisco, 49ers,
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: whatever the electric substation, I don't care what it is.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: They are playing. They are going to be a tough out.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: And that is, I know it's a tough division.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: And that NFC West is going to be tough, but
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: nobody's playing better than Brock Purdy, so watch out for
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: them all season long. And we got a couple of
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: honorable mentions out there. Well, I do want to note
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: the people that got kicked out for the top ten
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: from last week. Matthew Stafford, you're kicked out.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: I love you. Got a crush on you, but you
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: know what? Got a quarterback crush on you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: You're out.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, see ya. You're out of there.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: I was putting you up there because you're a winner, but.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: You ain't winning. So you're out. Dak Prescott. Taylor doesn't
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: like you. So I kicked you out of there. Drew Locke.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: You're a backup now. You're out. I got another category
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: right here. Feeling frisky.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: We're feeling frisky down here. Of course, Raiders quarterback Geno
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Smith is on my list. Famous Raiders quarterback Geno Smith.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Feeling frisky. Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: We're feeling frisky. Aaron's making some. I mean, he's 42
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: years old. Making some incredible throws. And guess what? I
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: got a brand new category.
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, I like a new category.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Flynn credible.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Case Keenum.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: Notably playing for the Houston Texans.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Case Keenum.
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: He is my Flynn credible quarterback.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Of the week.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I don't hate this list.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Thank you. You nailed the top three.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: You know, if you would have gotten the teams right,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I think it would have been perfect.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Thanks, bud.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: But you got Kirk Cousins on three teams ago.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: But it's perfect.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: He played for the Texans in 23. This is OTB perfect.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: You nailed the top three.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: And thank you for putting Brock Purdy at the top
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: because he far and away deserves to be there. Like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: there was a throw he made over the weekend. He
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: was jumping out of bounds through it. Like, if that's
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: Patrick Mahomes, that's a cover of Madden, but it's Brock
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: Purdy and... Like, people can't accept the fact that he's Mr.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Irrelevant. I was telling you, I was like, if you
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: were on a.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: National show up in Bristol, they'd have fired you for
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: putting Brock Purdy number one. But he absolutely deserves to
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: be there.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: There's a theory.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, there's a theory that the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: players going down by the electrical substation is just empowering
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Brock Purdy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: That's why he's doing so good.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, so his body's taking it in reverse.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: He's absorbing all of it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: He's absorbing all of the powers.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: I mean, dude, it's not just the touchdown interception. He's
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: completing 72% of his passes. Throwing to Mike Evans and
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Debo Samuel, mind it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: And they're not easy play. Like, he's making some incredible
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: plays and throws.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: On the run, on the move. Just, man, he's playing.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: If you haven't watched him play yet this year, like,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: you have Sunday ticket, make sure you watch him play.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Because it's something.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: It's not just like, he's not just the, A game manager,
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: coach on the field type. No, they're winning because of him.
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: He's like a more athletic Jared Goff. I don't think
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: he gets the credit he deserves ever. Just because he
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: was a seventh round draft pick and people just can't
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: fathom that he's good.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: But Brock Purdy's awesome. Y'all like the Flynn Credible category?
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: So what is that?
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Top performer of the week?
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, it sounds just like incredible, but with
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: my name. True.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: True.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: I thought you said I would be fired for this one.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Which one? Jalen Hurts?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jalen Hurts gets a lot of hate nationally. He
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: has this year.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: That's the one thing they say about Jalen.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: They're like, all he does is win.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And he's not winning.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: That is Flynn's top ten quarterbacks, his feeling frisky quarterbacks,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: and his Flynn credible quarterback.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Most of the logos are right. Got most of the
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: teams right. All right, we'll take a break.

  Speaker 4: That's what I really care about is pleasing the masses.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: My bad. I'm so sorry.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: I was trying to give you some props.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: No, it is good. You know what? I wasn't defensive.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I was just making a joke.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I was making a joke.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: Because I fought so hard two weeks ago against everybody.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, they were on you.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: They were on me. I was backed into a corner,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: so I had to swing. Couldn't lay down. I had
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: to defend it.
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: When I make the top 10 graphic, I'm going to
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: put the Vikings logo for You should.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: I've already made the graphic. You don't even have to
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: make it. It's right there.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Looks amazing. Made it with my own two hands. You
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: did technically. You typed it in. I did type it in.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: And I told it to quadruple check its stats. And
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: I said, remember what happened last week? And it was like, yeah,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: that's on me. Then it proceeded to get three of
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: the teams wrong.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: You typed that in there? Last week was so funny.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I was like, I told her to double check these
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: and they're like, okay, I've double checked everything.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: These stats are right.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Then after the show, I yelled at it and I
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: was like, you told me you double checked it and
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: these stats were still wrong. And you're like, you're right.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: That's on me. I did tell you I fact checked
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: it and I actually didn't. It said that to me.
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: And then still did the same thing.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: And then still did the same thing.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Are you putting like 2026 stats or just typing out stats?
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: Maybe specify.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I have specified.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Like, I got this one thread with it, and it understands, like,
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: it understands the format I want. We understand this is
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: a 2026 weekly thing.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And it's like, we're going to punch this out every
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: single week during the season.
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: So are you trying to tell me that AI is
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: not reliable?
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm trying to say.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: What if you wrote out the stats and just had
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: them already ready and said, put this on a PowerPoint
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: for me?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but how am I going to do that eight
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: minutes before the segment? Well, that one's on you. What?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: What's wrong, Jacob? What happened over there?
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Why don't you just do it before that eight minutes?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: I was at the ball field last night. Yeah, so
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: was I.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I saw you there, bud. You got home two hours
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: before I did.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: You didn't make a list.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: You didn't make a list. Because there's not ten fullbacks,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: or I would. That's true. Kyle Juszczyk will be number
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: one every week. I don't know. Patrick Ricard might. A
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: couple weeks, maybe. He might still be in the top spot.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Alec Ingle will sneak in there.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Alec had a good game. He did.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: He had a good game. He's wearing a cowboy collar
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: right now, too. That makes him go way up.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: It does.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Speaking of the Giants, Twitter's doing a great job. Twitter's
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: doing a really great job with this whole JJ trade.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: Twitter's on fire right now with the Camp Scataboo, Lickin' Air.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: What's the coach for UConn?
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Dan.
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: Dan.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, Hurley?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Dan Hurley, like, headbutting the ref like he did at
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: the end of that game. He's like, this is Camp Scataboo.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: When he smells the new Jackson Dart, he doesn't smell
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: like Jackson Dart.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: He's like, hmm.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: The Belichick someone that I sent to where it's, like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out why.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: I don't even remember what it said.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the air licker.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: You're not picking North Carolina this week. Just another reminder.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Don't tell me my business. Don't tell me my business,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: devil woman. Win money. That's a quote. Not calling a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: woman a devil. Don't do that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: I'm offended.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I'm calling the station. Did you watch the show I
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: told you to watch, Last Scene, yet? We haven't watched
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: it yet. We haven't had a chance. Too much stuff
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: going on at night.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: That's why you stay up late and you're tired the
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: next morning so you can catch up on stuff.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I didn't go to bed until midnight last night.
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: That hurts, thinking about that.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: You got to get the shows in.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: When you get older and you got all the things,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: when you get home at 10, 10, 15 from the
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: ball field, you're hungry because you ate dinner at 4.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: You eat a little something. And then it's like, man,
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: I've got to have some adult time here.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I've got to throw in a show. Time for myself.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: You know? Mm-hmm. No, that's– yeah, that's– I fight going
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: to sleep just because it's quiet. It's just like– just
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: my hour, two hours of, you know.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I'm definitely not, like, studying quarterback stats and making a list, clearly.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, true. Just do that during the show. No, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: don't know where that, you know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: I do feel like there's, Alondra, to your point, I
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: do feel like there's some people that they have to
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: have their sleep.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: If they don't have it, you don't want to be
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: around them.
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I have to get at least six.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Katie's like that. She's got to get her sleep.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: But I also just, I can't get into TV right now,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: like shows, because I think there's just so much going
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: on that my brain doesn't have the capacity to watch
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: another show. So I don't have something where I'm like, oh,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: let me watch this right now or whatever.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: When you're 41, you, like, can't wait to start the show.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: New episode comes out.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: I can't get in. Like, my attention span can't do it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, we got a new episode. It's new. Yep. Yeah. Don't, don't.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I almost said a bad word. Don't mess around.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: This is what's going to bring it out?
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: And have two. I really did. I almost said don't
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: mess around and have two. Two new episodes.
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Do you remember, like, back in the day? Like, this
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: was the old hanging with Hester days in the evening.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I had done radio with you for a little while
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: at that point, and I had never said it, Kurt.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I never slipped up. And I slipped up.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: One time talking about Chase Daniels.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: I slipped up talking about him one time. And you
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: were like, that is when you do it?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Like, for that?
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: That's when you say a cuss word?
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Whoops.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Just get real passionate, you know? Chase Daniels. He got
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: through tens of passes in the NFL. Hey, preach. Been there.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: How much money per pass?
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: I don't want to talk about it. You made a
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: lot of money per pass. I don't want to talk
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: about it. Look, I'm not one to talk.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: I'm talking, not you. I played in like 70 games.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I played in seven. Got made 10 times more.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I think it was like a million. I hate you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: No, Chase Daniel.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Over his career, an average of 153,000 per pass attempt.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. And that's what y'all make.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: And for 70 games, I had to go block James Harrison,
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Bob Sanders, Helody Nada, Tom Bali, Patrick.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Willis, Tequila. Spikes. And y'all just sat over there stealing signs.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: It's a big job. I'm not hating on Chase Sano's career.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: No, I am. I am. On all quarterbacks. Every one
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: of y'all.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Chose the wrong position, bud. Well, I'm not really built
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: for quarterbacks.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Fair. You know? Good Lord made me built for one position.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I had two. Played a little D tackle.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was a nurgle.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: That was a nurgle. Split in the double T. A nurgle?
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: A nose guard, yeah. I don't know why my best friend,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: you know my friend, Austin, he's called nurgle. Kind of stuck.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, nurgle, that's not a, I've never heard that word before.
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: You said it pretty, like, that's a thing. Yeah, it
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: became a thing, me and my friends.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Nurgle alert. Who would have thought I
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: had a son that plays Nurgle? Well, I guess he did.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: He plays guard now. Between us, we have two right
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: guards and a tackle. Look at this.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: He played center yesterday. Shout out to Dunham, fifth and
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: sixth grade team.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Huck played center? Yeah. Nice.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: He played center. How were the snaps?
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: He did really well. He got thrown in there. They
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: had some snap trouble. You run shotgun every time. It's
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: a fifth-grade team. The snaps are tough to do. Shotgun
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: in fifth grade?
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Every play. Every play. They even take a knee in shotgun.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Except the team we played went under center. The team
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: we played.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: We played central private, which was a great little team.
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: Great little fan base. And it was a good game.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: It was fun.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: It was a nice evening at the football field. But, yeah,
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: Huck played center, got in there, and made some good snaps.
• 31:34

  Speaker 3: song playing in the back. When you think about Louisiana,
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you think about energy. Oh, yeah.
• 32:55

• 33:13
  Speaker 6: the project represents a major investment in Louisiana's future. But
• 33:18

• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Let me ride out my room. I mean, reading it
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: like that with this male model in the background. Holy cow. NSFW.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Some would say it's too much to handle.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Not suitable for work, y'all.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: We dropped the episode of Eye in the Sky yesterday. Yeah,
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: we did. Was that just yesterday we did that? Oh
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: my God. Shout out to Alondra.

  Speaker 4: Quick turnover.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: We did it after. Yeah, after the show this week.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: And Alondra had that thing out by the afternoon.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: It is now out.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: So search Eye in the Sky with Hester and Flynn
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: on YouTube. Subscribe, like, share, all the things.
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: If you want to like an inside look of kind
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: of what is making that, made that offense tick this
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: past weekend, some of this fun stuff that Blake Baker
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: had dialed up for Marcel. I love some of the
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: things that Blake did. It's really fun to take a
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: look at it from that bird's eye view. that all
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: 22 look and really kind of dive into the schemes
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: and some players that played really well. It's really fun
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: to do. It's something that I look forward to every
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: week doing that because it's just fun to talk ball
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: and look at it from a bigger perspective than just
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: kind of like that field view, that tight view that
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: you get on TV.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: One of my favorite plays was a play that maybe
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: it's not in the memory bank for a lot of people,
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: but it was one of the long Dylan Jones runs
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: and how he set up everything by just being technically
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: sound and pressing the hole, not cutting too fast because
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: he sees this gaping hole, but pressing a hole to
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: make it even bigger, to stay open longer, to get
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: the linebacker to overcommit, and then puts his foot in
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: the ground, goes north-south, makes another guy miss with a
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: jump cut, gets seven more yards.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: I think that was the first play of the episode.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: It might have been.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know. My God, I love talking about that one. So, yeah,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: like Matt said, if you want, like, a deeper dive
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: into the why of why it was successful, what LSU
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: did offensively, defensively to really confuse Texas A & M,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: this was one of my favorite episodes, maybe my favorite
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: that we've done so far. So go check it out.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: Eye in the Sky with Hester and Flynn on YouTube.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: Alondra's doing a great job getting that out there. And
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: you can subscribe and like and share. We would certainly
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: appreciate it.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we will do a look at
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: McNeese this week.
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: In no disrespect, I'll probably start looking at the opponents
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: for the next coming weeks because there's going to be
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: more film to watch on opponents the more weeks we
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: go into the season. So we're going to start probably
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: trying to get ahead of scheduling that.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I think people would be interested to see a Kentucky preview.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: Given that Joe Sloan is there.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, for sure.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're going to– yeah, I'm going to probably start
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: my Kentucky preview this week. I'll break down the first
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks, and then the majority of it will
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: come from the game they'll play this week.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And we'll also– It will, yeah.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: We'll show plays from LSU.
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: Out the ass.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, my God.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Inside zone like you've never seen it before.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: I swear to God, if they run a power, I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: going to find Brian.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Kelly because it was him. We don't have the guards
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: to run it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: What?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Bro, you're.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: What?
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: You're in the SEC.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: My son's played running back his entire life. This year
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: they got him playing right guard.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: He's never played it before in his life, and he's
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: out there pulling his little heart out.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Kicking people out.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: It's all central private. Log blocking them. Fifth and sixth
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: grade middle school team run power.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: We run power. Little Hudson Hester's out there kicking people out.
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: He's never done it before in his life. We don't
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: have the guards to do it. Man, when they said that,
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: I wanted to put powder in my hands. Anyways, we
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: don't have to worry about that anymore.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness. Yeah, God. Thank you, A & M. Thank you. Yeah, really, though.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: For real. Thank you.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: A lot of people thought we were mad losing that game.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: We were happy. It was a blessing in disguise.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was a– remember that next day. Maybe
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Blake Baker was playing chess last year.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: He was. He's like, I got to get an offense.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Blake was like, watch this. Let me cook. I got
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: to get an offense to match my defense.
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: We're going to send ten guys out there this time.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: God, the Oklahoma game last year, y'all. Can you imagine
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: what that feels like to be in somebody else's stadium?
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: It's going to make the playoff. and you're fighting your
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: ass off, and they hadn't done anything on you, and
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: you let up one play and you lose because your
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: offense couldn't do anything, couldn't do anything.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: You got them at an interception on the two-yard line.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: They couldn't do anything with it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Your quarterback had less than 100 yards passing in that game.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Less than 100. He was probably a bad quarterback.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: That game set football back 10 years.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Yes. That was Van Buren.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, got it. Where's he at?
• 39:25
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: South Florida?
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because I think he won the starting job.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think I remember his name.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Said that with confidence, we'd all be like, oh, yeah.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I think so. If you said that with more confidence. Yeah.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: I think South Florida.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: He's in South Florida. That's it?
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: Wish him well.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I don't wish you ill towards any of them.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Max Johnson's still going. Bro. South Florida's 4-0. Okay.
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: He's actually playing well. He has 700 yards passing.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: No turnovers. That's great.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Three touchdowns in four games.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Or three games.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Four games. No, it's like four. Four games. All right.

• 40:09
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Got it.

• 40:12
  Speaker 5: be that next. This guy used to not be able
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: to name. half the SEC coaches, and now he's naming
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: the South Florida coach.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Let's give him a round of applause.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Look at me. Give me a couple years. I'm going

  Speaker 5: Go to Tommy's.com.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Yo, Tommy.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Sorry, I was looking at something.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Hashtag ask the bench, how scary was it staring down
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Ray Lewis in the A-gap?
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: I'd poop my pants. Ray wasn't one of the ones
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: I was ever real nervous about, to be honest with you.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: He's a good player, obviously. Good player.
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: Not like a thumper like you think. Now, sometimes like
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: on ball carriers, he would be a thumper. But taking
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: on a lead block, it wasn't one of the ones
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: I worried about. James Harrison was.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: That dude. Sure.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: Built differently. Yeah. Like, he had bad intentions. Like, Ray was...
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Ray was....
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: A smart player who knew exactly where to be. And, like,
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: that was what made him so good. Would he tackle
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: you hard sometimes and have highlights? Yeah, he played so long.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: Brian Urlacher, same way. Like, their thumper was Lance Briggs. So,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: for me, it was always, like, who's going to be
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: the guy that's going to, like, bring the wood? Now...
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: That's why I always say Patrick Willis was the best
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: that I ever played against because Patrick was smarter than you,
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: faster than you, stronger than you.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: It's a bad trio for you, you know? It ain't good.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: It's not good.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: And Ed Reed was the guy that I feared the
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: most on that Ravens defense because he was unblockable.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Hashtag Ask the Bench.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: I recently found all of my Pokemon cards in an
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: unopened pack from 1999. Where can I go to get
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: all the cards valued? Should I open the pack or
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: sell it unopened?
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Sell it unopened. Personally.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: What pack is it?
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: 1999. 1999 Pokemon. Because you're going to get more from
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: the intrigue of what could be in there.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: What if there's a boat?
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: There could be. Hashtag, Asevich, what time do you consider
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: to be the evening?
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: 6.30. Time, yeah, or like time frame.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: I think like 5 to like 7 is what I
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: consider the evening.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say 5.30, 6. Yeah, let's pray about that.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: Depends on when it gets dark. We love you. We
• 45:30
