  Speaker 1: they are watching absolutely nothing right now, but they're still
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: hanging out. We've got a lot of guests on the show.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: This is our very first show that we have three guests.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's jam packed, baby. We had a we had a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: shoulder shimmy from one of them. One of them has
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a bearded dragon that I asked them about and they
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: said they had died a year and a half ago.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Said so, if anything stick around to hear that awkward moment.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Let's quickly go through some stuff that happened this week.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Guys are hard knowing. I love this show so much,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and honestly, I kind of forgot that the Cardinals were
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the in season Hard Knocks until we saw d Hop
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: at the end stretching. Did you guys catch that little
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: moment that's gonna be juicy? That is gonna be so juicy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: The best moment from Hard Knocks this week has got
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to be Aidan Hutchinson singing Billy Jane was great. I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: was ready to run through. It all started off soft.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: The way that it ended was like I couldn't believe
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: how much energy crazy was in the room. I also
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: kept on saying out loud, oh dead, Campbell scary. He's jacked.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I guess I didn't ever like look that closely because
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not a pervert at his like physique. He's jacked,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and he was like working out with the guys during
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's got to give him. He's already
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: so respected, I think by that team. I mean, you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: can't have a team that loses like a million games
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in a row and then your first win you give
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the game ball of the coach, and what world does
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that happen. It happened with the lines, and it happened
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with Dan cambell And I just think that like him
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: working out with these guys and he's like it's the summer,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: it's hot, they're doing updowns or whatever the heck those
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: things are called. He's there in there with him. He's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: like getting emotional when he's talking. He was, guys, Daniel's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my favorite coach. That speech when he was like beautiful
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all I think about, is you guys beautiful? I swear
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to you like that's a guy players will want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: play for no doubt. I feel like the Lions. This
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is just a thing that happens when you watch Hard Knocks,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: But now I feel like the Lions are going to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: be better than everyone thinks they're going to be. Absolutely
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: What is the guy that I ask? Who's the guy
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that I'm obsessed with on the Lions that like Jamal Williams,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thank you. He's like, you can just tell that everyone
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: is so emotional and like really wants this team to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: do well. Um. I saw a tweet from the Old
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Schefter Machine, maybe the most entertaining rookie singing moment in
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: show history, Aidan Hutchinson singing Billy Jane. Um. I agree,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Here's what I would do. And I'm curious what your
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: answer is, and I'll go first, what would you do
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: every rookie? You know, this is like a staple in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Hard Knocks The rookies have to get up and you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: do something embarrassing. It's probably a staple and just training
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: camp period. Um. I would do like a dramatic reading
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: from something really like a Shakespeare And I would make
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it so uncomfortable for everybody that they would never ask
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: me to do anything like that ever. Again, nice, Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it could be painful for them, not painful for me.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I would be having a lot of fun in the moment, right,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: but I'd be if you guys are gonna make me
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: sit up here, you're gonna regret it. That's what I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: would do. What would you do? What would you sing?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Or would you dance? I would probably do like an
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Eminem song or something. Excuse me, I can't sing well
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: at all. Oh so you want to like talk rap,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: but I like know the words to rap to, Like say,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know the words to every single Eminem song. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: know the words to like a thousand songs on the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: on the world, in this world. But that's besides the point.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: She's just making bold statement like that. What would be
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: your Eminem song? Probably like Lose Yourself, something classic like that,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: like school ones that everyone knows I feel like you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: getting up there, and then you would hear like the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: opening bars of that song. People people might guess, yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I get excited, crowded, be I get excited. I've done
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: then a karaoke before, because again, I cannot sing like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I really can't sing. I feel like you could. I cannot.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like if you've really tried, I cut to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: me just wanting you to sing on this podcast. So
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Harddocks is back. It just makes me so excited. Preseason
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: games are going to be starting this weekend. We already
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: got a little taste to one the other day. Do
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you want are you in the preseason? Do you want?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You watch a lot of preseason? I am into preseason.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I will be watching the Browns just to see what
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that's going to be like. Shaun's apparently going to be
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: starting the preseason game. No, he's allowed to do that. Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the Browns announced to Sean will start preseason week one. Okay,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but I will be watching that. Yeah,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: just to see what that looks like watching. Oh yeah
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: for sure, Yeah, oh yeah for sure. Yeah. That was
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a big thing in my household growing up. My dad
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hated the Toronto Maple Leaves, yet we watched every single
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: game and it was just full of just trash talk
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the entire time. I will absolutely be watching the preseason game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I also really want to watch the Rams Chargers game. Yeah, definitely. Okay, guys,

• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What was the difference? What changed for you or what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: did you feel? You know, probably just getting more opportunities.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That's the That's the biggest thing. Probably early on in
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: my career. You know, I wasn't getting as much opportunities
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that that I got like last year. So that was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the main thing. Getting a lot more targets, a lot
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: more opportunities, Uh, and just getting opportunity to make plays. Yeah.
• 8:35

  Speaker 1: I mean that's what I wanted to do in the

  Speaker 1: You've been with the Chargers for a minute now. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was listening to your guys music as you were practicing.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta have some kind of poll around here. I know,
• 9:09

• 9:38
  Speaker 1: of stuff anymore. Not really. I'd be trying to learn
• 9:41

• 9:45
  Speaker 1: So you guys are playing the Rams in your first
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: preseason game. Yea, what is your I'm really trying to

  Speaker 1: I just wanted to be here. I like drama. Libers
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: like drama. Not all libers are the same. How are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you only going into this game? You guys share so
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: far it's gonna be like split fans. Y'all both come
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: out and you know, very strong showings. What's that going
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to be? Like? It's cool? I don't think it's no
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: beef though, I don't. I don't think it is, but
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I mean the past breaking news headlines to But now
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's no beef. I mean two teams
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: playing the in the same stadium. I mean it's cool. Yeah,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Hard Knocks came on this week. Did you watch it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: at all? No? No, it's okay. You guys were on
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it a couple of years ago. I didn't watch it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: but you were a part of it. What was that
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like having cameras? It was cool? I mean it was cool.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It was I mean, I feel like they make it
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bigger than what it is. Oh interesting do they kind
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of just like disappear off to the side and you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: don't really think about it sometimes, But then they also
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: kind of be up in your face though. But yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it was a cool experience. I mean, it's it's good
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to do for like one time in your career. Yeah. Um, okay,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I have a little bit of a weird last question
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to ask you. Weird. I don't like weird. Well, these
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I've all been a little weird so far. So I
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: used to be a big Browns fan and Chargers and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Browns had like maybe the best game of the season
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: last year. It was super high scoring. It was so fun,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it was crazy, and it was on my birthday and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: probably right after yours as well. Um, so much fun.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And then afterwards people know that I'm a Browns fan.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: I got my DMS flooded saying that Justin Herbert is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: my daddy. And then I went on television and said,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is not my daddy actually, but now I'm
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: in the market for a new team. Chargers are definitely
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: up there. I love you, guys. I just wanted to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: ask you, what qualities do you see in Justin Herbert
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: that would make him a good father figure. That's the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: weird question. He's a leader, yeah, exactly, all right, now,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: he's a leader, he's a good guy. He's uh yeah,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: all the good things that a day is possibly haven't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert have that? So yeah, oh, there you go.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: We got through the weird question. Um, Michael Kay Williams,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for stopping by the pod. Your
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: secret is safe with me, my friend. Thank you. All right,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that was Michael Kay Williams. I love that that is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: his middle name and I will not be telling anybody.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's great. Huge plot twist. I thought it was huge,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: going to be a different Perhaps the biggest latch was
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: we've seen on a bench with Banetta. But our next
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: guest is going to be equally exciting joining us now
• 12:19

  Speaker 1: How are you? How is it going against Khalil Mack
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and Joey Boss. I'm sure everyone's asking this question. You're
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: clearly very winded and sweaty. What is that like for you?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It's great work. Yeah. It's never gonna get more difficult
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: than that in the game. So to be able to
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: go against some in practice, it's a blessing. Really, just
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: get get a word with the best of the best
• 13:39

  Speaker 1: what do I know or some secrets about these guys?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And he said about you? What did he say? He
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: said you were very like incredibly smart off the field,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and then on the field he will eat your children.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I believe it is how he described you. Do you
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: have a completely do you feel a switch on? Are
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you a completely different person on and off the field? Uh?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: You know, I used to try to like be really
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: emotional when I played, like try to get myself off
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: site to but really what I found was if I
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: can just focus on my technique and kind of be
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: calm when I played, that's the best. So I try
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to just you know, I flip a switch on the field,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: but it's not like I'm like, it's just like because
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you're not trying to eat people's Yeah, it's just technique.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You know. Let's talk about your dad, Um, I saw
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: this video. I was going to ask you about. You know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you're playing the Rams in a preseason game this coming
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: weekend and you know, Chargers and Rams split Sofi Stadium.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But then I saw this incredible video of your dad
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: just like doing the most dad dance moves I think
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen. So I'm not worried about Chargers fans
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: showing up. But um, he played in the NBA for
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: eight years. What was it like to grow up with
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a dad like a professional athlete and that's what you became.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: It definitely made a huge impact on me, um ever
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: since I was a kid. Like he retired when I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: was pretty young, but still he was in the gym,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you know, just playing pick up for years after that,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and he kind of showed me what it meant to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: be a pro. He had me out there in the summer,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Me and my brother are doing dribbling drills like all
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: day in the summer. He wow, um and it was awesome.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Like he had a huge impact on me. I don't
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: think i'd be where I am today without that. So
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: was he disappointed that you shows football over basketball a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: little bit because you got the high you could totally
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: ball out. Yeah, he was pretty disappointed when I hung up?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: What was that? Do you remember what that conversation was? Like,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna slide away from this and into that. Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I mean he was pretty understanding about it. He Uh,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't have anything too bad to say, but I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: know deep down he felt it. Yeah. Well, now he
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: seems like your biggest fan. Are you ever liked You
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: ever spot him in the crowd You're like, don't yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: going after it? Yeah, you should see every single game
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: day he sends me this video. I'll like, wake up
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and it'll be to him like doing some sort of
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: monologue he made up with some like gladiator music on
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: hold on what to like pump you up? Yeah, every
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: game day since high school he does that. That's so much.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: That is so sweet. Does it work? Yeah? Definitely? You
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: can tell us the truth. That's awesome. Um, like I said,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: you're playing the Rams this weekend. I'm trying to make
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: this rivalry thing and nobody is giving me any room
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: at all to just enjoy this. But, um, how are
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you feeling going against that team and first game that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: you guys are all going to be together. What are
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: you thinking? It's a great opportunity for us to go
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: out and see where we're at. You know, we've put
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: in a lot of work to get to this point
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: in camp and it's always good. Like to go against
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: your guys is one thing, but when you can go
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: against another team, it's completely different. You have different different defense,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: different players. Um, they don't know you as well. So
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: it's just I'm really excited for the opportunity. And it
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: is preseason. It's not like it's going to be you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: everything that we that we practice for. But it's still
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of right And what do you
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: think about the fans being split? Is it going to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: be mostly Rams, gonna be mostly Chargers? Fans show up? Yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I've been showing up here. Crowd was packed when I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: first arrived. Yeah, now you guys are gone, so they
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't need to stick around. Yeah, awesome, dude, Well, it
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: was so nice to meet you. Like I said, the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: show is dedicated to lies that we levelize here. Thanks dude,
• 16:54

  Speaker 1: the way, how are you, How are you feeling? How
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: are you? I'm great. It's very hot out here and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I chose to wear a flannel, so I don't think
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that that was very smart. Okay. So I just saw
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: this tweet about you and it's listing all of the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: notable wide receivers and how many yards they had when
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they lined up against you. Terry McLaurin zero yards, justin
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Jefferson only twenty one, Amari Cooper five yards, Tyree Hill
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: eleven yards. Uh. See you had some fun last season.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: What wide receiver do you think you're the most excited
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to do that too this coming season. Uh, is there
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: somebody that you like set your eye on, you like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: circle that specific game, you maybe watch a little bit
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: extra of their tape. I'll say, all the receivers in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: my division right now, the AFC with some pretty good ones. Yeah.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Is there one that you're least excited to line up again? No,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to go against everyone. You're not gonna give
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: them that. You're not gonna you don't want to say that.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: What about quarterbacks, especially in your division? Is the one
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that you're excited to take down? Intercept? Maybe? All of them?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Of them? All of them? Okay, so you're gonna have
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a busy season. Yeah. Um. You guys have your first
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: preseason game this weekend against the Rams. I know you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: don't get to see them very often, but there's like
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: this unspoken I'm trying to make this rivalry much larger
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: than maybe it is. But how do you feel going
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: into this game, especially against that team? I feel good.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: The season is getting back rolling, and I just want
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to work on my technique and fundamentals when I go
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: out there and just uh, just play hard and play
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: with effort. Let's talk about so Far being there. You
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: also have to share this am with the rams. They
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: show up in droves. You guys show up in droves.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Does it feel does that add to like the tension
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: at all? You can you sense that I'm trying to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: make this a thing. Yeah, it does a little bit,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of like, uh, it's a it's a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: friendly competition, but we definitely want to come out on
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: top every time. How is it that they how does
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it make you feel that they want to super Bowl
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: this past year? A team that you you know, you're
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: splitting the city with. Does that add any motivation? Oh? Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: for sure. It definitely added a lot of motivation being
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: that the super Bowl was at so Far as well,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and it was just, um, it was kind of hard
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to watch because I feel like we should have been
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But once I've seen they went to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl and won, it was kind of like, Okay,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: if they did it, we can do it. Absolutely, you
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: guys could do it. So Hard Knocks came out this week.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Do you watch that show at all? I watched it before,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: but I haven't watched a new episode. Okay, so this
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: year I think maybe arguably the best moment of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: show is Aiden Hutchinson came up in front of the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: entire team and sang Billy Ge and it kind of slapped,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like everyone went nuts. I was ready to run through
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a wall. If there was somebody that would go up
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: in front of your entire team and sing and just
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: totally kill it, who would it be you? No, I'll
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: probably dance. It was a shimmy. Yeah, that's like the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Florida dance, but definitely probably like Chris Rump or like
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: bringing for Hoko or somebody like that. Uh huh, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: your move would be doing the what's the Florida dance?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? It's kind of hard? No, No,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you did the little shimmy. You gotta give us more. No,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like, uh, it's kind of like a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: weird type of dance, like you just kind of like
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: moving your shoulders, in your in your neck and just
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, we're gonna see a little bit
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of that out there on the field. Yeah, hopefully. Awesome. Well,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: good luck this season. We're so excited to watch you guys,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and good luck against the Ramps this weekend. All right,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for having me. Thanks. All right. The
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: people in the crowd here a training camper are becoming ruthless.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: They're chanting kick off a team. Oh my god, people
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: don't even care anymore. Feelings are out of the way.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I still need to get rid of a bunch of teams.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: We have a few left. It's like every reality show
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that they kick people off of. Like in the beginning,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the people are always like, oh, I feel so bad
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and someone's dream I don't want to yea. But then
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: by the end they're like, you're godamt her? Do you
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: watch The Bachelor? Are you going to that? Noy? Okay,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: We're getting rid of two teams today people and I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: already know who they are, and I think it's pretty easy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I actually even question. Graver was just reading off these
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: teams and I was like, why are no disrespect? Disrespect? Literally,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: this entire podcast needs to be a decent disclaimer, no disrespect.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: We're just having fun here. We're just having some funzies. Guys,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, Why are you still doing here? What
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: are you still doing here? I found out you had
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend five weeks ago. You should have been gone
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. Um, listen, I like Justin Jefferson
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a lot friend of the pod. Of course, I also
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: really liked that this team had like an atrocious amount
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: of like one score losses. Like, I think all of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: their losses were by one score. I think I've said
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: this step before because I find it so interesting. Yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: all of their losses were by one score, and the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: one that was by more than that Kirk Cousins didn't
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: play right. That's crazy. That means they were in the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: game for the entire all of the losses while Mike
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Zimmer was wanting to beat up his quarterback. Who could
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: forget I did, actually, thank you for bringing that up. Yeah,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: there's clearly a disconnect between the pretty crazy so Vikings.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, but your time has come. Your time
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: hef been cometh You should have been gone a while ago.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry that I've led you on. Maybe it's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: because I'm really good friends with Jenny Taft and she's
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a huge Anesota fan, But bye bye, bye bye Bikings
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: are gone. The next team that I want to kick off.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I know why I kept them in for so long,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and it was because of my anger towards the Browns
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and just the AFC North. I see the Ravens are
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: still in this baby, but I think all the weird
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: stuff with Lamar in the off season and I want
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: some money. I do think that they're going to be
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: really good, but I just I think, I you know,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: when you break up with somebody and you have to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: like mute their Instagram and delete them off their phone
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and you need to like get rid of all of
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: that stuff. I think I need to do that with
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the AFC North. Yeah, I don't need to watch any
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: more af C North games. And then I need to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: like don't go to the Browns like enemy just to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: get the Browns exactly. I don't want to go to
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the Browns bar. I've already broken up with him. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: don't need to be in the vicinity, right, you know
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So, Ravens, I'm so sorry. I think
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be really really good this year. And I'm
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: actually very excited to keep tabs but from Afar. Yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be keeping tabs from Afar. It's just more
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: healthy for me. I like that, Ravens, You're out of here.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: There is one more thing that I want to say, though, Okay,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I do know what my top three teams are for
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the bench with Benetta Bachelorette. Oh wow, And I'm going
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to tell you one of them right now, okay, because
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: we are at their training camp. Los Angeles. Chargers are
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: abs of fricking lutely in the top three of teams
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that I will be wanting to support next season. I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: think they're a good match. I think they're like the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: little brother of the situation because the Rams. You know,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I really again, I really want there to be a
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: rivalry there. Um. Maybe maybe I'm a Chargers fan. I
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: will lead that if you if you pick the Chargers,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: that should be your mission. I'm just gonna start talking
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: trash Rams fans and now I also really love the Rams. Um.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But that's all I want to tell you. I'm not
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: going to tell you who the other two are, even
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: though I know who they are. Chargers top three teams
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: that are going to make it, They're still made it
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to the finals. There's still a few weeks for one
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of these other teams to steal your heart away. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: we've got We've got the Panthers, who's pretty intriguing at
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this point. With my guy Raiders, I think are going
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to be really fun to watch this year. Lion's Obviously,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: we're only one show in and I'm like, come on,
• 25:11
